Marabel · Frecker tells us that her seven-year-old grandson is regaining his mobility now that he is in therapy and is talking and laughing. She says he loves to get cards and that they plaster the walls ·of his hospital room. Many of his first grade classmates, area youth and church organizations have remembered · him and it's meant so much for the little boy who has . been so ill. Perhaps you'd like to send him a card.

PageA2 Acree Monument Company The stones inside the tiny A-frame hail from all over: Acree said granite comes in different shades like pink, blue or black because of where it is quarried. His store offers a rare but popular blue granite stone from China. Also, the stones can be carved with designs and lettering as intricate as the law allows. Once a customer selects the stone he or she wants, Acree contacts the Jackson Monument Company nearby in JacksoQ to place · the order which tells the stone carvers what the stones will say. Acree said depending on the a lot of variables, it takes at · least two to three weeks tumaround time before a fresh stone is carved with words that will last forever.

Bv CONNIE FARROW ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER FORT LEONARD WOOD. Mo. - Spc. Jason Vazquez is a National Guard artillery soldier, but he hopes someday to become a Chicago police officer. Now, with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan deplettng the Army's force of military policemen, Vazquez is getting the kind of on-the-job training that will speed his way toward that goal. Vazquez, 19, is among some . 2,230 Guard soldiers being retrained at Fort Leonard Wood in central Missouri as temporary military police to replenish an Army force stretched to its limits by the war on terrorISm . • 'T m very excited- ahout the experience we're going to get," Vazquez said. "I have an uncle who is a Chicago police officer. I'd like to do the· same one· day." The National Guard Bureau announced plans last fall to convert 18 Army Guard companies that were least likely to be deployed into muchneeded MPs. Each company has about 124 soldiers. They are to provide security at installations in the United States and Germany, while the Army's active and reserve police corps are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The racing commission, whtch has five board members who serve four-year terms, regulates harness and thoroughbred racing at seven tracks and oversees off-track betting parlors. The commission employs an executive director to handle the day-today business operations. Clifford Nelson, who restgned last month as executive director after 17 years in the post, routinely bet at state-licensed tracks despite a policy that bans commissto!] employees from wagering on live races in Ohio, according to Ohio Inspector Ge!leral Torn Charles' report Friday. The investigation concluded the policy was ignored or misrepresented by the executive director, staff and commtssion members. Nelson inststed all his wagers were proper. "There were certain times that tt was OK (to wager on ltve rdces), like during major racing events," he said. He denied the in,estigation caused hts depanure. saymg he had been planning to retire for months. The 25-page report paints a picture of a racmg commi Ssion beset by mismanagement and ethical lapses. The report found that more than $8,000 m meals and gifts were given hy racetracks to Nelson . statT members and four of five comm issioners. Recipients failed to reveal the gifts on tinancial-dtsclosure statements as required by state law. Charles said. The report also identified more than I00 mstances since January 2001 in whtch Nelson made withdrawals totaling $27.500 from bank machines near racetracks on days he wagered.

DAWSON CINCINNATI - Infamous bank robber Wtllie Sutton said he robbed banks "Because that's where the mohey is." Dale Broughton fishes the Ohio River "Because that's where the big fish are, and I like to catch btg fish ." For eight years Broughton, 33 : has gutded anglers to catfish, a fish some constder a nuisance when caught while an angler is trying to get "sport" fi sh. He also can direct people to big catfish this time of year, when ice or high water levels generally limit much fishing. "Dependmg on the water level, this can be a good month," he said. · Typical catches are in the 40- to 55-pound range, but last year one of hi s custamers boated a 62-pound flathead. Even at this size, this fish was well below the ·state record of 76 .5 pounds caught in 1979. "These fish are muscle toned from fig~ting ,furrents all their 1ves, s~id ~roug~ton, . of .

Jim Freeman lNTHE OPEN eries are usually made to his workplace ;md the new items are immediately stashed in the garage or mstde a tackle box. A tackle box, incidentally. is a great htding place. with its confusing Gordian Knot of steel leaders and lures that look like 1980's earnngs. Osa111a Bin Laden could be hving in a tackle box., and no one would ever find him. The Pleader: attempts to convince hts spouse that this new purchase will solve all of hts fishmg problems. "Honey, I really need this new fishing pole. Not only does tt catch the fish for you, it cleans 'em "and vacuum seals the packages, just think of all the work that will save you. I'll neve~ need to buy anything else ever agam." The classic, sad Pleader ploy is to show his wife the catalog and try to convince her that she wants htm to purchase the new tackle box or reel. This is a pathettc strategy. but one with a strong chance of success as the spouse eventually gets tired of the whinmg and in time actually encourages the purchase. A fellow Army Reservist, I' ll call him "Cliff," was a classic fishtng tackle collector; whenever we would go to annual traming, he would ftnd a way to collect some ot the local' fishmg gear regardless of the country. I thmk he combined the tactics of Challenge a~d Packrat.

The rulmg overturned the league 's rule barring players from being eligible for the draft before they were out of high school for three years. The NFL said it will appeal, and it wtll probably try to block the ruling before the Apnl draft. On Friday, the league set a March 1 deadline for htgh school players and newly eligible underclas'smen to apply for the draft The courts still must decide if Clarett ts due damages because he was not permitted l!) turn pro after his first season at Ohio State. Clarett's lead antitrust a~tomey, Alan Milstein, de<:lined to talk Friday about how much Claret! might seek. NCAA president Myles Brand tssued a statement Fnday, calling the ruhng a "setback." "It is ironic that the two major professional sports without developmental leagues - basketball and football ·O UTDOORS iunba~ Qtimt~ ·ientinel Scouts have difficult job evaluating Clarett · '' ~ " PageB.7 However Deb Walters, a biOlogist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildhfe District 5 oiTtce in Xenia. says that while the Ohio River has big fish, other opportunities exist to catch big catfish. "We don't 'manage' the catfish fishery in the same sense we do with other game fish, but we have netted flatheads of 50 to 60 pound s in R k F k L k d h oc Y or a e an ot er waters when we are doing census taking ," she said. The state record flathead was taken from Clendening Lake in Harrison County Ill east-central Ohio c Walters said her department does not keep statistics on Ohto River fish, as the water is in Kentucky. A machinist by trade, Broughton l!rew up fishing the Ohio R1ver. Hts Dale's .Guide Service works an area 15 to 20 mile's east and west of Cincinnati, concentrating on waters 30 to 50 feet deep. His trips last eight hours and are on a 20-foot Lund Fisherman with a deep v hull and a 200 horsepower outboard. The boat has a wide 98-inch beam and high sides, making for a safe and dry trip. Tackle, bait and · equipment are furnished. To catch such large fish, Broughton uses 7.5-foot j rods with 6500 model Ambassadot reels with 30 to 40 pound test hne He also use s a leader of at least 50pound test. While the best fishing for the big flath eads are in the summer, channel and blue catfish are actt ve all year. Now through March is a good time to catch blues. "Most people don't ftsh for blues because they mtstake a blue-colored channel cat for a blue. But the blues exist and they are btg and strong," Broughton sa)d . Last year the largest blue caught by one of hts customers wetghed more than 50 pounds and the biggest channel weighed 23 pounds . Whtle some scoff at pay ing a guide to catch catfish, Broughton quickly defends the species, noting catfish cam~ in third in a recent magazine survey. "Cats were ri~ht behind bass and bluegtll s in the nation for most fished . for fish," he said. Broughton also fishes for bluegills, for use as bait. "The bigger the bait, the bigger the catfish," he stated. He preaches catch and release for conservation purposes, but there is a fish consumption warning on catfish taken from the Ohio River because of PCB or mercury contamination.

GALLIPOLIS - Statistics from the American Heart Association had women at Holzer Medical Center seeing red Friday. Female employees of HMC were asked to wear red clo1h· ing to celebrate national Wear Red Day, an American Heart Association educational campaign to alert women about heart disease and o1her heartrelated illnesses. The women met in the hospital lobby Friday arternoon to participate in a prbclamation signing by · HMC President LaMar Wyse and Vice President of Patient Services Sandy Care 1 Troester. '< • "Today's observance was just one in an ongoing effort to educate women about the dangers of heart-related illnesses," said Bonnie McFarland, director of community health and well ness at HMC. ' According lo the AHA, cardiovascular disease, including stroke, claims more women's lives than the next seven causes of death combined -. nearly 'soo.ooo a year. That's almost twice as much as all forms of cancer. 1\llA "st:l1i:;t\cs .claim that one in 2.5 women will die of heart disease or stroke. compared 'with one in 30 from breast c.ancer. That's a stattsuc McFarland hopes to change. McFarland said that both heart disease and breast cancer are devastating to women, but that . so much focus has been given to breast cancer, many women may not realize they may be at risk for heart problems. "Before, women · just weren't aware that they were actually havi'ng heart attacks. because, in the past, heart attacks were more predominate in men - at least that's what we thought." she said. "Traditionally. wome·n haye taken care of everyone. but themselves," McFarland said. "But, women today are under more stress than ever, and we really need to start focusing more on taking better care of 'our own health . "There 's more to it than just eating right and exercising," she added. "Reducing that stress and paying attention tb your body are a major f actors." Registered nurse and HMC employee, Faye Hammond, agrees . "A lot of times, women just ignore that they ' re having symptoms," Hammond said . "But women really need to listen to what their bodies are telling them. "They know when something is wrong," she said . "They can 't just brush it off. Fear and denial are killers." Because they have all been touched by heart disease in some way, Hammm\d, along with fellow HMC employees Ann Elliott and Judy Reynolds, were asked to particiJ?ate in lighting a wmaih dunng Friday's celebratiqn. The wreath will continue to hang in the hospital lobby throughout the _ month of February. Elliott said her family's long history of heart-related . illnesses led her to be more aware when she began to think she had a heart problem. "My father died of a heart attack at age 47, my brother died at age 52, my sister had a triple bypass, and I've had a . 95 percent blockage twice," she ~aid . "I strongly recommend that anyone with a family hi story of heart di sease haven yearly check ." Elliott said that even though she didn ' t have any pain with her sympt oms, she knew something was wrong. "If I climbed one !light of stairs, I .was OK." she said. "But if I dim bed two !lights of stairs. it felt like there was an elephant on my chest." Re ynolds said a cyst on her heart grew Lmtil it was bigger than the organ it self.

Ohio, like most states, requires that all landlords provide a minimum standard of housing to their tenants. To satisfy the statutory requirements, a landlord must comply with all housing, health and safety codes, keep the premises in a habitable condition, and maintain in good working order all electrical, plumbin~. sanitary, heating and air cond1tioning fixtures and appliances required to be supplied by him. If a landlord breaches any these mandated duties, the tenant may elect to give the landlord notice, in writing, of the acts or omissions which constitute non-compliance. If the landlord fails to remedy the condition complained of within a reasonable time (to be determined by the severity of the problem) or within thirty days. whichever is sooner, and if the renter is current with rent, the tenant may take one of several courses of aciion. The tenant c~n do any one of the following: Deposil the money with the clerk of courts, apply for a court order directing the landlord to remedy the condition, apply for a court order reducing the periodic rent due until the condition complained of is remedied, apply for a. court ,order to use the rent deposited to remedy the condition complained of, elect to terminate the lease agreement, or bring an action to recover damages.

One of the many Gallipolis -persons mentioned in the · writings of Odd Mcintyre - was rsaac "Fleet" Wh lte. During Mcintyre's growing :up years in Gallipolis in the ; 1890s and the first decade of ·the 20th century, White was a doorman and porter at the Park Central Hotel. Fleet was the first person in Oallipolis to get up every · mormng as before the sun :rose, Fleet would be at his ·,stand in front of the Park :central Hotel. It was his duty ; to wish all persons who passed br, the hotel a "good morning.' On New Year's Day, Fleet was especially attentive to his task. It was the custom then that the first person to wish you a Happy New Year would be given a present. Fleet was already popular throughout the city, but on New Year's Day, he was especially remembered. It ~n· became the custom for Oallipolitans to get up early, 20 downtown and get a · llHappy New Year" from . Fleet. Some people believed it got the new year off to a good start like nothing else they could do. Fleet received the name "Fleet" as it was short for Fleetwood. Isaac White was porter in 1866 when the Fleetwood steamboat came into being. The Fleetwood was a packet boat in the employ of the Cincinnati, Pomeroy and Parkersburg Packet Company. Later, the : Fleetwood ran on the . Big Sandy as well as the Ohio ;River. When the old ;Fleetwood was scrapped • about 1880 and a new Fleetwood came out, Isaac White changes careers. The newer Fleetwood ran only from Huntington to Cincinnati. This would have meant that Fleet would have had to move from the area and he wasn't ready to do that. ' Working on the Fleetwood as chief clerk was a good looking bachelor named John Thornburg. He had eirlfriends all along the nver. When these girls would ride the boat, Thornburg always put them up in the presidential suite. But one time, quite by accident, Thornburg booked the same suite to two different girlfriends. There was to be a real imbroglio and so, Thornburg got off before the second girl was to get on and told Fleet to handle it Fleet told the second girl at the next stop that Thornburg was not on this trip and that she ought to delay her trip to the next week. The girl decided that if Thornburg wasn't on the boat, she would not ride. So, Thornburg's little game continues on for a few more years. After Isaac left the Fleetwood, he was in the employ of Col. J.C. Morris.· In the 1880s, Morris owned the Remington Hotel · in Pomeroy. Later, he bought the Park Central Hotel in Gallipolis. Fleet was a porter at both places. Residents of both cities considered Isaac as a man of kind disposition. He was well liked by all who knew him. In his later years, before hi s death in 1916, Fleet was the sexton at the Presbyterian Church in Gallipolis.

Isaac and his wife, Anna, lived for many years at 836 Third Ave. Anna White was a dau~hter of Henry and Jennie Whiling. Anna was very active in a number of women's groups over the years. She served as the state representative to such groups as the women's department of the Knights of Pythias, and within the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Her ancestors are to be listed among the founders of said church. Anna continued to live at 836 Third Ave. until her death in 1936. Living with her for many of those years was her mother, Mrs. Whiting. . It was during the snowy, cold winter of 1936 that a rag atop a stove caught fire. It was brushed off and fell on a cot. The blanket on the cot was then ignited. The' flames next jumped to Mrs: Whiting's clothes as she tried to hurl the flaming blanket outdoors. Nj:ighbors William Mitchell and Henry Doss h·eard the cries of Mrs. Whiting and rushed to her rescue. Most of her body was burned. She was rushed to Holzer Hospital but died in about an hour. She was 81. Anna White was quite ill when her mother died and she lived only a few months longer herself. The Whites had no children.

(AP) - Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" was the fmthest thing from Richard Kopley 's mind when the English teacher started working on what would become his first scholarly book. A string of literary coincidences and a bit of detective work have led to what one scholar calls a new way of looking at one of America's best-known authors. In a recent book from the University of Delaware Press.. Kopley says Hawthorne transformed elements · from "The Salem Belle: A Tale of 1692," along with other popular stories from the period, in creating "The Scarlet Letter." What's more, Kopley also thinks he ha~ tracked down the identity of the book's anonymous author, a Boston merchant who withheld his name to keep his money from creditors. Kopley, an associate pro· fesii,.or of English at Penn State DuBois and president of the Poe . Studies Association, was actually researching Edgar Allan Poe when he came across a review Poe had written praising "A Legend of Brittany," a poem by prolific writer and publisher James Russell Lowell. Unfamiliar with the ·poem, Kopley sought it out·. When he read it, Kopley was struck by the similarity between some passages in " Brittany" and passages in "The Scarlet Letter." At the end of "Brittany," Kopley says, "there's this power· ful passage about the church organ, and I immediately thought of the climax of 'The Scarlet Letter,' in which Hawthorne draws an allusion to an organ in describing the powerful voice of the Rev. Arthur Dimmesdale, the venerated preacher whose secret affair with Hester Prynne produced a child and led to Prynne's public punishment and Dimmesdale 's private guilt. " I sat with each text on one knee, looking back and forth and back and forth, and I saw that indeed my first impression was correct - in fact, there was more than I realized of a correspondence between the two texts," Kepley said. It wasn't the first time Kopley had found a passage he felt Hawthorne had transformed from another contemporary work. Eight years ago, Kopley wrote an article for the journal Studies in American Fiction I describing similarities between Poe's 'The Tell-Tale Heart," first published in the January 1843 edition of Lowell's magazine The Pioneer, and Chapter I 0 of 'The Scarlet Letter," in which a man creeps up as Dimmesdale sleeps and uncovers the "A" burned into Dimmesdale's chest. Kopley ar~ues that Hawthorne Intentionally transfonned elements of those stories when creating his own·. "I think he had his story down first," Kopley said, "but as he worked.through it, I think it would occur to him to include gentle allusions to previous works that were related the matically to his present work. The linchpin of the argument came from that issue of The Pioneer, where Kopley found a review of "The Salem Belle," a novel published in 1842 about a man named Trellison who accuses Mary Lyford of witchcraft after she spurns his romantic advances. Kopley said the tirst twothirds of the book bore little resemblance to Hawthorne's. But he eventually found three passages he thinks influenced "The Scarlet Letter": · - In the first, Lyford meets her brother, Jaines, in a wooded area by a brook, where James seeks to comfort his sister. Kopley compares that to a passage in "The Scarlet Letter," where it's Prynne who seeks to comfort Dimmesdale. - In the second, as Trellison encourages Lyford to escape by sea, saying he knows of a pirate ship in the harbor she could board, the narrator notes how odd it was that the intolerant Puritans seemed to tolerate piracy. Hawthorne, too, writes about a pirate ship in the harbor and the seeming inconsistency of Puritan morals. -In the climactic scene, after Lyford's escape, Trellison himself climbs the scaffold and declares his own guilt; the audience !irst is stunned, but then many say Lyford must have bewitched him and forced the confession. In "The Scarlet Letter," Dimmesdale finally confesses his guilt from the pulpit, then dies; his congregation, too, sits in stunned silence, then dismisses his confession as a parable about how even the greatest of men are capable of sin. · "It sounds like he's on to something," said John Grammer, professor and chair of English at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn . "It's perfectly clear !hat Hawthorne read The Pio~eer in which that review appeared, the review of 'The Salem Belle' - he wrote for The Pioneer, in fact. ... And he would have been totally unable to resist a historical novel about Salem. It's perfectly · clear that he would have tried to get that book and read it." Grammer and other scholars are reluctant to call Hawthorne's writing plagiari sm in any way. "This is a culture in which people are accusing people of plagiarism all the time, and lots of stories son of resemble other stories. It 's almost hard to get to the bottom of it and !igure out where any image or idea had its beginning." . Kopley's book is an entirely new direction of Hawthorne scholarship, said Nina Baym, a l:jawthorne scholar and English professor at the UniveFsity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She said most Hawthorne scholars have focussed on his anti-Puritan themes or his time spenl among the Transcendentalists. A note written in a copy of "The Salem Belle" at Indiana University's Lilly Library was the first clue to the author's identity, naming him only as Wheelwright. The personal papers of the book 's former owner pointed to Ebenezer Wheelwright , a 19th-century Boston . merchant who ·published ·in the same house as Hawthorne . What's more, Kopley argues, because they shared a publisher, Hawthorne likely would have known that Wheelwright was the author of "The Salem Belle," and that Wheelwright, too, had connections to Puritan mis· deeds. Wheelwright's ancestor, John Wheelwright, along with Anne Hutchinson, were expelled from the Massachusetts colony during the Antinomian Crisis· in the late 1630s because of their religious beliefs. Hawthorne might have picked up on other things, as well . All his life, he was a voracious reader of both books and newspapers. Hawthorne scholar Baym said Kopley's book might encourage other scholars to begin analyzing contemporary sources for their potential influence on Hawthome 's work. The main character in John Grisham's new novel "The Last Juror" isn't a juror, or even a lawyer or a judge. He's Willie Traynor, 23, a former J·ournalism student and col ege dropout who somewhat halfheartedly becomes owner, editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper in small-town Clanton, Mi ss., in 1970. Although the novel features a murder trial, "legal thriller" is only one of its personalities.

"This particular event might be, for the moment, the straw that br oke the camel's back on the patience of the audience," said talk show host Carson Daly, a veteran presence on MTV, which produced the offending halftime show. "Tolerance of this sort of sexuaL imagery· may have reached its peak ." Unlike other milestones of indecency - rock star Bono using the f-word on the 2003 Golden Globes, or Madonna and Britney Spears tonguekissing on MTV - Jackson chose to reveal herself before the largest TV audience · of the year. And she did it precisely when federal authorities are mulling a crackdown og broadcast indecency. The Jackson case could ~ave a "galvanizing effect" on the move to toughen stanFCC dards, said Commi ssioner Michael Copps, who has complained his commission has been toothless in responding to complaints. At the very least, he said, it punctures the argument of people who say that those who are bothered by things on TV just ~houldn't watch. • "How do you turn off the Super Bowl?" Copps asked. "There is going to be a national conversation on this," said Brent Bozell, presParents ident of the Televjsion Council, which has long complained about sex and violence on the tube. "I think what this has done is sensitized the public." . The fallout continued Thursday: - CBS, already facing an FCC probe for the halftime show, said it would broadcast allow time .to edit out any offensive images. Jackson had been scheduled to appear on the show, but her publicist, Steven Huvane, said Thursday she would not attend. - " A banker from Knoxville, Tenn., filed a class action · lawsuit against Jackson, darice partner Justin Timberlake, CBS, halftime show procipcers MTV . ~nd the networks' parent company, Viacom. Terri Carlin said the "sexually explicit conduct" by the · performers caused millions of people to "suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury." '. - NBC cut a scene from Thursday 's "ER" that showed an elderly patient 's breast, saying the ' current atmosphere made it too difficult for affiliates to air the segment. -ABC said it would add a delay for its Feb. 29 broadcast of the Academy Awards. TNT also said it was consid- . ering a delay for the entertainment portion of the NBA All-Star Game, featuring Beyonce, OutKast and Christina Aguilera. ~The NFL cut a halftime production number by one of Timberlake 's 'N Sync bandmates, JC Chase?,. planned for Sunday's Pro .

NEW YORK (AP) - 'N Sync's JC Chasez unleashed a scathing indictment of the NFL on Thursday for yanking him from the Pro Bowl halftime show, then asking him to sing the national anthem instead following the · unexpected breast display during the Super Bowl. "I have had a great relationship with the NFL in the past and feel that I have been mistreated," Chasez said in a statement, adding that he's won't sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Sunday's annual all-star game in Honolulu. In an interview with The Associated Press later, he' said of the Super Bowl uproar: "! never in my wildest dreams thought it would affect me." The 27-yearo{)]d pop star initially was to have performed "Some Girls (Dance With Women)," off his upcoming album, at halftime. Chasez told the AP the song isn't sexual. After the Super Bowl halftime show- ip which Chasez's bandmate, Justin Timberlake. tore off a piece 0 f Janet ·Jackson's top, exposing her breast - the NFL re-evaluated Chasez's planned perfonnance. 1 The singer said the league expressed concern over some of hislyrics andaskedhimtochange his ~liS choice to "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" off the "Drumline" soundtrack. "I decided to be obliging. 1 wanted to go with the flow and 1 wanted to be a team player, 1 wanted to come to the NFL's rescue," Chasez told the AP. The NFL removed him from the Pro Bowl halftime show anyway and replaced him with hula dancers, drummers, conch shell blowers and local singers. who were to have been the pregame entertainment. Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the Pro Bowl, told The Associated Press by cell phone from Hawaii: "We · saw what happened on t UPt:ofrliil1g Clinic Dates: Nlarch 19, May 21, and 30,2004 Calli l6141 221-6331 ~dvai\taiJB Healthcare Third Avenue nmon.

"While I agree the mishap at the Super Bowl was a huge mistake, the NFL's shallow effort to portray my music as sexually indecen~ brings to mind another era when innocent artists were smeared h b · with a broad brus y msecure but powerful people," Chasez said in his0 statement.

(AP) - Nearly everyone , already knows how "Miracle". ends, even lh?ugh a generatiOn has been born smce the underdog U.S. hockey team upset the dominant Sovte.ts dunng the 1980 Olymptcs m Lake Plactd. The fact that director Gavin O'Connor still manages to bmld palpable suspense is a testament to how entertaining the film is. O'Connor may seem an unlikely choice for a feelgood sports movie . He previously directed, co-wrote and co-starred in 1999's "Tumbleweeds," a wonderful, small film about a mother who moves from town to town with her 12-year-old daughter after a series of bad relatiOnships. . With that film. though. he ;~c hieved an elusive balance : He created poignant moments without making them mawkish . And, for the vast majority of the time, he the same with does "Miracle." There's enough innate emotion and excitement in the "Miracle on Ice" story that O'Connor, working from a script by tirst-timer Eric Guggenheim, usually avoids amping it up. : Similarly, Kurt Russell doesn't overplay the role of Herb Brooks, the coach who handpicked a motley assortment of hockey players from Minnesota , Massachusetts and other cold places and taught them to play the game in a totally new way. ''I'll be your coach - I won 't be your friend, " Brooks tells his players on day one. He' growls at them and makes them skate sprints until they puke when he thinks they ' ve slacked against the Norwegian team . He toys with their minds in the locker room and lets them take the ice when even they think they ' re too hurt or tired to play: . It's a big, fiery role, but Russe ll finds enough nuance to avoid being a caricature. (The real Brooks, by the way, died in a car crash. in August and never got to see the film.) He and the movie are at their best. though, during the training scenes and the games themselves, which are shot and edited beautifully. Early on, Brooks .tells the players his plan for success: "Flow and creativity ·- that is what this team is all about, gentlemen." That seems to have been the same approach in shooting the thrilling hockey sequences. You feel as if you're being checked into the boards, as if the puck is flying at your face through the back of the net. " It helps .enormously that the actors on the ice are actual hockey players, and not famous people pretending to play hockey. The only problem is that we get to know too few of them. Buzz Schneider (played by his son, Billy, in a neat bit of casting) scores some of the biggest clutch goals, but we don't spend as much time with htm as we do with charismatic Jack O'Callahan (Michael Mantenuto) and team captain Mike Eruzione (Patrick O'Brien Demsey). Eddie Cahill, a regular on "Friends," gets the choice role of goalie Jim Craig, who was nearly impenetrable in front of the net. In fairness, though, O'Connor has a lot to cram in, including historical perspective. The 1980 U.S: hockey team provided inspiration during gas shortages and the Iran hostage crisis, a time when the country was still healing from Watergate and Vietnam. He also finds time for Brooks' personal life, such as it was, with the marvelous casting of Patricia Clarkson as the coach's · wife, Patti. Clarkson could have merely played the sweet, supportive spouse, but- as has become her trademark in films including "Far From Heaven," "The Station Agent" and "Pieces of April," for which she 's earned an Oscar nomination - she brings a warrnih and a quirky wit that make the role complete.

That should, in theory, be a good thing; the "Spy Kids" movies grew increasingly slick and bombastic. The "Catch That Kid" kids, meanwhile, drive ~o-carts to their covert misston instead of tricked-out vehi~les, and use walkie-talkies to communicate ra~er than 3-D projector W<ttches. There should be a sort of old-school charm to such a movie, and a sense of reality that would allow young audiences to relate easily. But "Catch That Kid" also lacks the essential ingredient of all great children's movies: fun. Indie director Bart Freundlich ("The Myth of Fingerprints"), making his first big studio film , has turned out something that's ~urprisingly slow, ugly and -:- worst of all - boring. In this remake of a Danish caper, 12-year-old Maddy (Kristen Stewart, Jodie Foster's daughter in "Panic Room") enlists two friends, Gus the mechanic (Max Thieriot) and Austin the comp.uter geek (Cprliin Bleu), to hJ:lp hef steal money to pay for her father 's operation. (Sam Maddy's dad Robards), who instilled in her his Jove of mountain climbing, has suffered a spinal injury and requires . surgery that c.osts $;250,000. In her adolescent naivete, she tigures the best way to ~et the m!Jney is by stealing 11 from the bank where her mom (Jennifer Beals) happened to have designed the purportedly impregnable vault, which is suspended I 00 feet off the ground. (Is that you laughing at the casting choice? Beals did play a welder b,Y day when she wasn't dancmg by night in "Flashdance" - .!llaybe she's applying some of those skills here .) Maddy must use her climbing skills - and Stewart is unfailingly athletic and confi. dent - to hoist herself onto and into the metal monstrosity. And though she's a tomboy, she also must use her blossoming feminine wiles to coax cherubic Gus and 'froheaded Austin (who both have secret crushes on her) into helping her complete her plan. It sounds like it has all the makings of a delightful little movie, but Freundlich's P.acing is lifeless and off-ktlter. He glosses over moments that should have emotional resonance; sequences that should be thrilling, including a police chase through downtown Los Angeles, are too muddled to be engaging. The whole film is shot poorly - too often it's dark, dreary and grainy, making it hard to determine what's happenihg, much less get caught up in the action . But even the most basic source of immature humorthe flatulence joke - failed to inspire laughter from kids in the audience at a recent screening.

It 's not just the Dakota's looks, resembling a burly Freightliner semi-trailer, that convey a large and capable size. The Dakota also has impressive towing capacity of up to 6,100 pounds, the only Magnum V8 in the segment, a roomy interior with seats for up to six passengers and four, convenient, front-hinged doors on its Quad Cab. Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge. is $17,750 for a base, 2004 Dakota Regular Cab 4X2 with V6. · Dllkotas with four doors, called Quad Cabs, start at $22,620 for a two-wheel drive model with V6.· All Dakotas are available with. two- .or four-wheel drive . and V6 or optional V8. It's true that ihe Quao Cab. which debuted in November 1999 for the 2000 model year, was the latecomer to the now nearly 18-year-old Dakota line . But it has come on strongly. Today, Quad Cabs account for "slightly less than half' of all Dakotas sold, company spokeswoman CarrieMcElwee said. · Buyers like the versatility of having a comfortable,' threeperson back seat as well as a good-sized _pickup bed for cargo - all in a smaller package than a full-size truck. But it's important to note the Dakota's overall package is a bit bigger than some other compact truck competitors. For examrte, the Dakota Quad Cal5 1s longer, from bumper to bumper, than th~ new Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab, Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with regular bed and Ford Ranger SuperCab. l'{o wonder Dodge officials prefer to call the Dakota a "mid-size" truck. The Dakota Quad Cab's front-seat headroom of 39.6 inches is bener than the '39.3 inches of either the Colorado Crew Cab, Fro~tier Crew Cab or Ranger SuperCab. When it comes to front-seat shoulder room. the Dakota Quad Cab has 57.2 inches, a tad more than the Colorado's 57.1 inches, much more than the Frontier's 55.3 inches and weater than the Ranger 's 53.8 mches. The Dakota Quad Cab's 36 inches of rear legroOm is more than eitherthe30.7 inches of the Frontier's four-door model or the Colorado Crew Cab's 34.7 inches, but less than the Ranger SuperCab's 40.4 inches. Now, to provide a good-sized backseat,theQuadCab's pickup bed was shaved by one foot. So, while a Dakota Regular Cab and Club Cab have 6.5foot-long pickup boxes. the Quad Cah's is measured at 5.5 feet.

Energy Department ; officials said Thursday that : aluminum blades used to pro:.duce enriched uranium at a . _plant in Piketon contained beryllium. The di scovery was made last month. · So far, eight people at the plant have tested positive for cbronic beryllium disease, a scarring lung disease that can be fataL Eight others have test:ed positive for beryllium exposure, said Dan Minter, president of the workers' union. "It's our desire to continue testing all areas of the plant . and to test the entire work force," Minter said. . He said the parts of the plant that have berylliu~-tamted · eq_uipment should be decontammated. Workers should get . .appropriate protective equipment and their health monitor, ing should continue indefi. nitely since the disease often ·takes several years to develop. "Right now, the priority has to be to take the appropriate measures to prevent further exposure and to evaluate what the risk actually is," he said. Sen. George Voinovich and Rep. Rob Portman both said Friday that they' re also investigating the discovery. "I will continue to monitor this situation," said Portman. a Republican whose district includes the . plant. "It is incumbent on the federal government to clean up the site and ensure. the safety of th~ workers and the community.'} Beryllium has been used to , make triggers for nuclear I weapons, nuclear plant rods 1 and computer circuit boards. It is not dangerous in solid form, but its dust can cause serious respiratory ailments if inhaled. : The Energy Department had \ not thought the metal was present at the Ohio plant, believing it was only found in areas of a sister plant in Paducah, Ky. , where old weapons work had been performed. USEC Inc ., a Bethesda , Md.-based company that runs both plants, detected the beryllium from tests it conducted in Paducah and Piketo11 after the workers' union shared results of screenings it had conducted. Garry Sexton, a safety expert for the union and a beryllium disease victim, said workers have suspected since the mid-l990s that the metal was at the plant because higher than normal concentrations of the substance had been ' found in soil and water samples taken nearby. ''I'm not as surprised as they are," he said. "It bothers me tremendously that we didn't have adequate controls in place . sooner. I'd rather not have chronic beryllium disease." · A federal compensation program gives workers who get the disease $150,000 and free medical benefits for the rest of their life. J:. .. The area in the l'iKeton plant where the beryllium was detected last month has since been cordoned off and similar steps were taken protectively at the Paducah plant William Murphie, the 1DOE official who oversees cleanup efforts, said further test· ~g will be done at both plants.

With such cold temperatures cases of frostbite and t\ypothermia are more likely to occur. Knowing what the sy mptoms, treatments, and preventions are can prevent permanent tissue damage to areas of the body and cold related deaths. · According to the Centers for Disease Control approximately 700 persons died annually from hypothermia between the years 1979 and 1998. At the highest risk for· suffering from hypothermia were people under the influence of drugs and alcohol, unattended children and persons over 65 years old. We can prevent the deaths and damages caused by hypothermia by understanding its symptoms, and treatments. The normal core body temperature :is 98 . 6E When the core body temperature uninc tentionally drops below 95 .0F it is considered hypothermia. lq, severe cases the core body temperatures will drop· below 82.5F. In most cases as the body temperature decreases so does the brain activity. Symptoms of shivering, confusion, memory loss , drowsiness, exhaustion , and slurred speech are signs of hypothermia. Treatments for mild cases would include drinking warm, nonalcoholic beverages, and covering with electric blankets to quickly raise the body temperature. If a severe case of hypothermia is suspected seek medical allention immediately. Frostbite can be associated with those sufferi ng from ~ypothermia; This. condition I S the freez mg of· the skm.

Again. it would be advisable to seek medical attention if severe frostbite has occurred. The best advise for those venturing out into the cold is to dress in layers and avoid o:-xposing sk in to the icy winds. Lessen the exposure time to the cold and you Jessen the chances of hypothermia and frostbite . Also, the CDC suggestion to install a thermometer in rooms where the elderly and small children are staying can help prevent exposing them to possible life-threatening temperatures. · Oftfee 11o~~ 126 128 14 Wound mar11& • t 9 Object from anlqully 20 22 24 25 2t!
