NEW HAVEN, W.Va. ·Two gigantic generator stepup (GSU) transformers slowly made their way by barge to American Electric Power's Gavin and Mountaineer plants over the last several months, arriving in early January. The first transformer was offloaded at the Cheshire dock Jan. 5 and made its way to Gavin Plant severai days later; the second made the short trip up the Ohio River to Mountaineer Plant in West Virginia the next day, but had to tie up at the plant due to high water. The GSUs will serve as spare transformers at each pilmt, helping to ensure reliable power from two of the company's · key generating units. With the addition of these transformers, each I ,300-megawatt generating station has at least one onsite spare . Weighing 253 tons each, the two Mitsubishi transformers were shipped by boat from the · factory in Ako, Japan, in October. They arrived in New Orleans in December, then traveled by barge up the Tenn-Tom Waterway and Ohio River. These 765/25 kV single-phase step-up transformers are the first AEP has purchased from Mitsubishi. This new generation of transformers takes advantage of q~cent advancements in high-voltage technologies and ~omputer-optimized designs ·that improve the reliability of the equipment and reduce cost. The transfanners provide improved efficiencies that benefit both cus10mers and the environment. At almost 20 feet tall, 14 feet wide and 28 feet long, moving the transformers was no easy job. Ralph Vitale, proJect manager for Mitsubtsht Transformers, was on hand to oversee delivery of the equipment. "Every step of the process had to be thought out in advance, planned down to the last detail," Vitale said. He said that's why Marnmoet, a specialist in Holzer Medical Center recently received a hospital bill-from 1934 to be placed in its Education & Conference Center display cabinets that include several historical pieces of the hospital. Pictured left are Frank and Johna (Bunn) Crump of Sabina who recently found the historical bill in the home of the Rev. and Mrs. James L. Bunn, the parents of Johna, who resided at 1002 Main Street in Point Pleasant, W.Va. The Bunn home was renamed "Harmony House" by Norma Bunn and was owned by the Steembergans and McCulloch's, longtime prominent founders of · Point Pleasant. The bill, dated September 11, 1934, is typed with a total of $101.10, includ: ing a week's hospital care of $45.50, and is signed "paid" by Charles E. Holzer Sr., who estab:!!shed Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis in 1909. Pictured right receiving the donation is Jennl · Dovyak, director of comJ]lunity relations at HMC.

"Mammoet came in a couple of times in advance to talk about the job," said Cliff Wyatt, Mountaineer production services leader. " It seemed like a monumental job to us, but after talking with them, we all felt confident that it would go well." And despite minor challenges at both plants, all did ' go well. At Gavin, the transformer had to stay at the Cheshire dock for a few days, finally moving via Ohio 7 to the plant Jan. 14. At Mountaineer, high water delayed delivery for several days. "The entire area where we were offloading the transformer was under water," said Mark Hall , Mountaineer energy production manager, who oversaw preparations to receive the transformer at Mountaineer Plant. However, on Jan. 10, despite temperatures in the single digits, water levels were down and conditions were right for the move. By mid-morning, the transformer had rolled smoothly off the barge and up the ramp to the plant storage area. By Sunday, it had been moved into position in the transformer bay. With delivery complete, attention is now turning to .the next step. "They 'II take about four weeks to dress out [assemble] and fill each transformer," said Paul Ayers, principal engineer, electrical systems and equipment section, who worked on the job. "They' ll do that at Gavin first, then they'llleave it and move on to Mountaineer." The Gavin transformer won 't be moved into position until a transformer shuffle takes place duril)g a P.lanned outage. Assembling and oil filling at Mountaineer will -take place after Gavin's oil fill is complete, followed by further work to get the transformer connected and ener-~ized. Thus, it will be a minImum of a couple of months before the Mountaineer transformer is available for service.

A.J. Jenkins scored 30 points in leading Trimble to a 75-65 :win over Eastern in TriValley Conference boys bas. ketball. His brother, Robby, added 15 points and big man Matt Christman had 12. Nathan Grubb led Eastern with 17 points, and also had team highs with five rebounds and five assists. Teammate Cody Dill went for 16 points and Alex Simpson 12. The win assures the Tomcats (13-5) at least a share of the Hocking Division title, as they improve to 8-1 in the conference. Trimble finished in the basement of the division last season after earning just two wins. "If you would have told me at the beginning of the year we would be playing for a league championship, l W9uld have told you that I would be very pleased with that," said a very happy Trimble coach Jim Holbert. On! y a match up with winless Waterford stands between Holben's club and the outright championship. "It's ours for the taking, all we have to do is take care of business over at Waterford," he added. "'We better come out focused and ready to play." Eastern (12-6), who shared ftrst entering the contest, saw its five game winning streak haulted and Hocking Division mark worsen to 7-2. Both those losses were to the newly crowned champs. "My hat goes off to them," commented Eastern coach Howie Caldwell.

Meanwhile, Columbus-area lawmakers praised a recommendation to build a new veterans center in central Ohio. A 16-member advisory commission that is reviewing the Department of Veterans Affairs' realignment of its health care system said moving all veterans services from Brecksville to a VA hospital 10 miles north in Cleveland would save time and money. Currently, inpatients at the Brecksville hospital who need emergency care must be transported to the Cleveland hospital or anoth· er facility. Consolidating services would save -$27 million a year in maintenance and infrastructure costs, the panel said. "The VA commission wants us to believe none of these services will be reduced or eradicated, but I · am not convinced," said U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Lorain. "We're going to do eve~thing we can to keep 11 open." . More than 5,000 veterans go to ~recksville for outpatient services each year, including George Cubbedge, a Korean War veteran from Parma Heights. Cubbedge, 73, ·said the Brecksville hospital is "a palace" that's popular for its gymnasium and <heated Olympic-sized swimming pool. He said he doesn't think the Cleveland hospital can match that and he doesn't want it to close. "There are many thousands of us that don't want that to happen," Cubbedge said.

Dan Polcyn of Gallipolis and Dave Barr of . Antiquity have been at work this winter organizing the inaugural season of the Big Bend Rivennen. The team. which will not join a league in 2004, has its initial player evalutation/meeting scheduled for I p.m. on Saturday, March 6 at Middleport Stadium. While over a dozen men. many with several years of college and semi-pro experience. are already committed to playmg with the team this year. Polcyn and Barr are looking for eager players, whatever their ages. "We are looking for guys who love football, guys for whom the saddest days of their lives were when they took off those helmets for the last time," said Polcyn. who hopes to play offensive line for the team. "Many of those guys probably last played in high school, back before they became fully grown men. We want some of those guys to come out, to enjoy playing again." Barr said that with Ohio University and Marshall University close by, the team potentially can draw from a strong pool of talent. "There are also many former college players hanging around the region wtio could make an impact playing this kind of football," said Barr. "We would love to see some of them on March 6." Prospective players should come to the stadium dressed to run and work out on the grass. Barr, who resigned as coach at Southern High .School severd( months ago due to health con'cerns, has over ten years of head coaching expe· · rience at the prep level and has been given a clean bill of health. "This allows me to stay close to the game at a much lower level of stress," he said. The Ri vennen will play four to five games in 2004, all during the month of May. 1he limited schedule allows men to play the game while not tyipg up too much uf their limited free time. j'The past few years, I have been. do in~ semipro stuff on the weekends from Apnl until September and October," f'olcyn said. "That's just too long for <Ulybody who has a hm1ily or coaches hijlh school ball." , Three of those dates have been set .Ill stone. while Polcyn is still negotiating with the Mountain State Titans (Charleston. W Va.) <md the Mansfield, Ohio Mamuders. Games are already set with the Invaders out of Cleveland. Ohio, the Cardinals from Charleston. and the Mid-Ohio Buckeyes trom Franklin. Ohio. Barr plans to use weekend practices during April to coordiimte the team's offense and defense. According to Polcyn. the team is not a moneymaking enterprise. Players do not receive pay and will buy their own equipment . "People in ·Huntington and Charleston have learned that this isn't a good business venture," he said. "All we want to do is give men a chance to have fun playing the greatest game in the world. Semi-pro is for the players. "If other people can enjoy watching us have fun, then that's an added bonus. We' ll charge a small gate fee to watch, but that's just to cover things like oflicials and footballs." Polcyn and Batr are upbeat about the team's potential for competitive sucl'ess in its opening season. "We can compete with teams from bigger towns," said Polcyn. "My tirst semi-pro game ever (in 1999) we beat a team out of Louisville in Middleport. We have taken on teams from places like Washington D.C .• Canton, Cleveland and Zanesville and held our own." Barr agreed. "If we can get (potential players) to come out. we can play with most any team out there," said Barr. "I m looking forward to it.

Dale Eamhardt.Jr. is more com.plicated than he appears. Sure, Junior loves to party with his triends. hang out with Kid Rock and 3 Doors Down, and appear in commercials "They ain't too much work," he says. Even he admits he's "all .about fun." Bu! Little E is also a serious competitor, ready to make his own mark on the world conquered by his late father. Going into the season-opening Daytona 500 on Sunday, .Earnhardt Jr., who drives for Dale Earnhardt Inc., the team his father started, i'sn 't yet in his old man's class on the racetrack. The elder Earnhardt, who died in a last lap crash in the 200 1 run of NASCAR's biggest event, won seve n championships during the Winston Cup era of the stock car sport. The swa~gering, mustachioed Intimidator W'JS a presence in NASCAR from the I start to the end of his career. He was Rookie of the Year in 1979, won his first series title the next season and was still a contender when he died. The last of Earnhardt's 76 victories came in the fall race at Talladega in 2000, when he charjled through the field in the wamng laps for a seemingly impossible win. "There was really nobody else like him," Junior said wistfully. "He was awesome." The younger Earnhardt, beginning his fifth full season in NASCAR's top series, would love to be like his father - at least on the racetra~k. where he has nine victories in his four seasons in NASCAR's top series. Off the track, the two men are nothing alike. Earnhardt Sr. was a businessman, a family man, a dedicated · hunter and fis herman and · as likely to spend his rare off $ys on a tractor pushing dirt around the fields around his sprawling North Carolina home as fishing from his 74-foot boat, "Sunday Money". Junior, a very eligible 29year-olct bac helor, would rather spend hi s time with a pretty girl championships in 1998 and on his arm backstage at a rock 1999 before movi ng up to Cup. concert, surfing the Web, play- where Matt Kenseth beat him ing computer games or eating out in 2000 for Rookie of the late night fast food with his Year. friends.

Dennis Mishne, an aquatic biologist Ohio EPA, said in the first couple of years after the environmental disaster, Leading Creek had very few large fish, obviously because ' they had been killed off in the initial in<;ident. The vast majority of fish were small individuals, most likely coming from smaller tributaries which enter Leading Creek. The few large .individuals collected had obviously · swam up from the Ohio River. Similar situations have been noted in other streams in the state which had fish kills. "In Leading Creek, we found that the number of species increased through the years, but the size of the fish were still relatively small," said Mishne. ''This factor has kept one of our fish indices lower than regional expectations." At a reference site- near Langsville, five mile~ down- stream from Parker Run, the fish community had recovered with good species diversity were present in significant numbers. A recent survey by the Ohio EPA showed 53 species of fish including numerou s sport fish in Leading Creek. • "There are several great fishing holes in Leading Creek," said Freeman.

But if you regularly follow the latest ~ investment ..fads," you might hun your chances of achieving your long-term financial goals- and that's no fun at all. Investment fads are nothing new. From the railroad boom of the 19th century to day trading and the Internet "dot-com" frenzy of recent years, we've always had fads. While the specifics of these fads vary. there's been one constant: People lose their skepticism and ge t swept up in markethype and euphoria. What causes stock market fads to take otTI In general, three factors seem to be responsible. • The thrill of it all : Some people are risk takers, plain and si mple. They want high returns from their investments and they 're more than willing to take big risks to achieve these results. They are drawn to new developments in business and new ways of packaging investments. While this group might not be in the majority, it may have enough power to get fads going. • Social acceptance : Once an investment fad has emerged, it attracts more and more people - even some who might not typically be prone to taking risks. Why? Because these investors perceive a fad and think that if "everyone" else is following it, it must have some validity. In other April Rice words. the more people who buy a fad stock, the more acceptable it becomes for others to buy it. • Fast-risi ng prices: Almost by definition, fad stocks are those that have prices that rise rapidly over a .relatively short period of time. And, of course, these rapidly rising prices will, in the shon term . reward both the risk takers and the people who don't want to miss out on a "good thing." Sooner or later, fad stocks run their course, and their prices fall. And, if these stocks truly lacked the proper fundamentals for success, they may never again attain their previous highs. How can you avoid being hurt by stock fads? Here are a few suggestions: • Look for quality: Instead of hopping after today's hot property or tomorrow's sure thing, you· re much better off investing in high-quality stocks that may bear fruit next year - and for years afterward.

Sarah Jane was born in 1825 , as one of the youngest of II children. By age 3, Sarah could sing from the Methodist hyninal, and at 5, she could recite whole Bible passages. Three of Sarah's brothers became minin the African isters Methodist Episcopal Church. Education was very important to the Woodsons, who eventually settled at Berlin Crossroads near present day Wellston. At age 2, Sarah began her education in · the African Education Benefit Society schools, which were run by AME churches. Her first teacher was her older brother, Lewis. At least in Southern Ohio, blacks were barred from public education. In Gallipolis, the first publiclysupported black school did not open until about 1865. E<;lucation of African Americans prior to that date was mostly conducted by the AME church. It was in this church-suppqrted school in Gallipolis that Sarah Jane would later teach. Women in the black community were crucial to the .advancement of education. One hisiorian wrote, . "Women dressed plainly, rejected exotic jewelry and (Simon & Schuster) 6.

Toni Morrison won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993, the se~ood American woman so honored. The award is given for the body of work, not an individual book. Love is her eighth novel. Set in the 1990s, Love looks at the ocean-side community of Up Beach where Bill Cosey ran "the besi and best-known vacation spot for colored folk on the East Coast." He was fascinating ladies' man, twice married, financially successful, died mysteriously and left a will written on a menu . A former cook in his hotel narrates the story of the women in his life and what happened to them after his death. The hotel has been closed, and his widow, Heed, and his granddaughter, Christine, live together in the broken grandeur of his. former home. Heed the Night, from the trashy Johnson family, was Christine's former playmate. All of that changed when her widowed grandfather, Cosey, took the 11-year-old Beverly Qettlel Heed as his child bride. Now, they are sworn enemies, occupying the same domicile, trying to prove · who is the rightful owner. · Junior, a young woman just out of · a correctional institution lands a job as Heed's assistant, and sed11ces a teenage worker at the house, Romeo. Neither Heed tior Chri~tine trust her, ·and she plays both sides. The novel switches back and forth without warning between past and present. It is less confusing than Beloved or Paradise. Morrison slowly reveals Bill Cosey's many-faceted personality in flashbacks, from his fishing trips with Sandler Gibbons, a · poor cannery worker, to his long relation- $un·d.ay 111mes•$entineI. ship with his mistres s, Celestial. The many facets of love are explored: romantic love, love of friends, parental love, and illicit love. The characters are multi·dimensional, each a mixture of good and not-so-good. 'There are graphic scenes in this book. Morrison always dished up a plentiful supply of violence and sex. There is some wonderful writing here. She speaks of "the .crafty vengeance little girls know how to exact." When Junior and Roman first met, "they traded information like racetrack tipsters."

The original three "Star Wars" films - among . the most anticipated on DVD will be released in the digital format Sept. 21 in North America, LucasFilm Ltd. and 20th Century Fox announced Tuesday. . A price for the package and international release dates were to be revealed later. The original "Star Wars" movie from 1977 - now titled "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" because of the newer prequels - will be compiled m a four-di sc collection along with the followups "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." "For all the fans who've been watching VHS and wearing out tapes, thi s will be a leap into hyperspace," said Jim Ward, a Lucasfilm marketer and DVD exe.cutive producer. The fourth di sc will be for bonu s features, including what the companies described as "the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced about the ' Star Wars' saga" and archive footage from the making of all three film s. They were re-released in theaters in "special edition" versions in 1997 that included touched-up effects and some new scenes. The versions on DVD will feature only the ~pecial edi tions, LucasFilm spokeswoman Lynn Hale said. Even though many fans of the original movie s had hoped the rougher, unaltered films would also be provided, Ward said there wasn't much debate about whether to release the unaltered originals. "The otli cial definitive version s are the 1997 special editions. That's the version the arti st, in thi s case George Lucas, intended to be seen," he said. There have been two prequels since "Return of the Jedi" wrapped up the original series in 1983. "Star Wars: Epi sode I The Phantom Menace" debuted in 1999, followed by "Star Wars : Episode II Attack of the Clones" in 2002 . Both are already iJ.vailable on DVD and will not be included in the original trilogy package in September.

'B ARBERSHOP 2' CLIPS COMPETITION WITH · $24.2 MILLION DEBUT ------ J' Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandier star in Columbia Pi ctures romantic comedy "50 First Dates.' "' I> d IIIII 'l1:!•l Bv ANTHONY BREZNICAN AP ENTERTAINMENT WRIT ER Adam Sandler 's new movie "50 First Dates" is a romantic comedy that has a goofy take on the question · of predestination : If you ~tart out from the same place, under the same circumstances, in the same state of mind, will your 'day end the same way? The movie also has a gigantic walrus that sprays . . monstrous amounts of vomit on people. That shouid illustrate the two forces at work in this picture. Sandler, who often mocks his egg-shaped head, actually has some interesting and · funny ideas rattling around inside that noggin, but he also has a tendency to surrender to juvenile jokes like a sleep-deprived, sugar-infused 12-year-old. Luckily, someone seems to have given him a nap and a carrot stick. There isn' t too much gross-out in "50 First Dates" -just a little, to satisfy the baser tastes in his fan base. Sandler and company find a lot more honest and hardwon hiughs . in their premise: Drew Barrymore plays Lucy Whitmore, an accident victim who, when she goes to sleep, forgets everything that happens to her the previous day. Her long-term memory is intact- she remembers her gruff dad (Blake Clark) and steroid-taking brother (the formerly plump Sean Astin of "The Lord of the Rings") and other details from her life in Hawaii. But every day is a Sunday, her dad 's birthday, and she freaks out when she realizes that more than a year has passed since then . Of course, she 's OK the next day when she awakes , thinking it' s Sunday, her dad' s birthday ... Then it all starts again. The truth is overwhelming for her, so dad and brother go along with her delusion putting the same outdated newspaper on the kitchen table, eating the same kind of birthday cake for dinner and watching "The Sixth Sense" again and again and again each night- bored stupid, while she is always amazed by the twist ending. Then she meets Henry Roth, played by Sandler, who 's a veterinarian at a marine park and a notorious womanizer. He desperately wants her to remember him, and interferes with dad and brother's scheme, asking the salient que stion: How long can they keep this up? "What happens when she wakes up one day and realizes she just aged I 0 years overnight," he asks them. They don't have an answer. The jokes come out of the different ways he has to win her over each day. The first time, he used a toothpick to make a door for a little waffle-house she made while playing with her breakfast. It charms her, and they hit it off. The second time he tries it, she's unimpressed. ''I'm sorry, are you from a country where . it's OK to put your fingers all over someone else's food?" she snarls. What changed? Nobody knows . But sometimes he wins her over, sometimes he annoys her, and sometimes - like when she wakes up in bed next to this stranger . -he gets pulverized with a lacrosse racket by her. The movie takes it's made-up memory ailment seriously and isn't afraid to take a few downbeat risks for the sake of originality. There really seems to be no hope for Barrymore's condition, so instead of being a story about how Sandler cures her through love, "50 First Dates" is really about how one man learns to love someone even though she can never really love him back. After all, she has always just met him . That 's kind of sad, but these two likable stars who previously appeared together in 1998's "The Wedding Singer" - make it very funny, too. "50 First Dates," a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG - 13 for crude and sexual humor and drug references. Running time: 91 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Tlie new lmpreza styling is bolder and designed for improved aerodynamics. There are now four-beam headlights at the front, and on WRXs, the functional hood scoop that feeds outside air to the intercooler is larger than before. In fact, it's so large, I could easily ree it from the revired, well-bolstered driver seat. I liked that the height adjustment for the driver seat now has an easier-to-use pump lever. Other improvements include projector beam halogen fog lights, an in-glass radio antenna, the tach moved to the center of the instrument panel and addition of Electronic Brake Di stribution, which helps smooth out braking power among the wheels. A sport-tuned suspension and engine speed-sensing rack-and-pinion steering are standard on WRXs, .and they were evident in the test car. The five-door vehicle took twisty mountain roads with gusto and was a joy to drive along California's famous coastal road, Highway I, where pavement was alternately wet and dry. I never lost traction or felt unrettled during the spirited driving. And I only had to start to tum the steering wheel a bit and the car responded promptly. The ride isn't iwlated from the road; nor is it harsh. Rather, pasrengers feel road bumps regularly in mostly mild fashion. The WRX STi has 17-inch wheels and tires. But the reguJar WRXs come with 16-inch, alloy wheels and low-profile tires that trans - . mtt a good amount of road noise into the car. It was enough that I often turned up the radio volume as I drove to compensate for the road noise. There was wind noise in highway drives, too. The test WRX Sport Wagon had roof mils but no crossbars on it. Rear seat riders sit up higher than front-seat passengers. This helps them have some views around the rather large, blackish, sport front seats. Three adults sit closely back there, but all three get shoulder belts and head restraints that adjust and lock in place. Legroom is decent with the front seats up a ways on their tracks. The front seats can feel as if they're in the laps of rearseat riders if the front seats are back all the way on their tracks. The WRX Sport Wagon 's rear seatbacks fold down to expand the 27.9-cubic-foot cargo space at the back of the car to 61.6 cubic feet. This compares with a maximum 60.6 cubic feet in the A4 Avant. Fit and finish on the test car was admirable, save for a center conw le lid that appeared to be loose. At the WRX introduction in calendar 200 I, Subaru officials had projected U.S. sales of about 10,000 lmpreza WRXs annually. But the company sold around 18,000 in eight months of 200 I , accounting for half of all lmprezas sold that year.

SEATTLE (AP) - The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has donated $82.9 million ·- the largest grant ever awarded for the development of a tuberculosis vaccine -to the Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation, officials announced Thursday. • Dr. Richard Klausner, executive director of the Gates Foundation's Global Health program, said the money will fund human · trials of promising TB vaccipes and will finance research on advanced vaccines. The grant was announced on the opening day of the national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of ·Science. Officials said some 2 billion people, about one out of every three on Earth, are infected with the TB pathogen. About 2 million peo- pie die annually of tuberculosis and the World Health Organization estimates that TB deaths will reach 36 million over the next two decades. TB is the leading killer of people with AIDS. "It is unacceptable that TB continues to kill someone every 15 seconds when we have the ability to discover new tools to stop it," said Klausner in a ·statement. "Through accelerated research and development, a new vaccine could permanently chane,e the trajectory of the er,idemic and save mtllions of lives each year.' TB is treatable; but successful therapy can take six years and can require up to four different drugs which often aren't available in developing countries, a Gates announcement said.
