Dean Evans Friday afternoon during a hearing in Gallia County Common Pleas Court. The officials were called to the 3 p.m. heari ng to determine, according to , the court order, if the commissioners "failed to make appropriations for expenses of publi shing the delinquent tax lists or if an insufficient appropriation was made to meet such expense." Betz told Judge Evans that in 2003 and in 2004 he requested $5,000 for publicalion expenses, but received less than half of that. Montgomery added that there was $1,000 available in another line item that Betz could have transferred to cover any shortfall s. Betz told Judge Evan s that the list has not been published since 2002. A crowd gathered in the courtroom to watch the brief hearing, including James and Harlan Northup. In late January, the Northup's asked the court to issue the order requiring the commission to provide funding to publish the li st. which by law. must be published. James Northup said Friday evening that he felt the hearing was fair and he is awaiting Judge Evan's written decision. Brazil celebrates old-style camival. See Page A7 o ..... . 2004 Bridal Tab . .

Have the commissioners checked the background of the new City Manager? I give Mr. Gordon the highest of pPaise for his performance. Gallipolis will so~n be known as "Sin City." Here 's a no spin review of Mel Gibson.'s movie "The Pa ssion of the Christ ," which opens on Ash Wednesday (2/25). First off. the film is a faithful rendition of the execution of Jesus according to the four Gospel s. Only twice does Gibson stray from Scripture. The initial departure is to introduce Satan inlo the narrative; that does not happen in the Bible. Second, Gibson beefs up the role of Simon of Cyrene. the Jew who was forced by the Romans to carry Jesus' cross when he could no longer do it. Simon emerges as a heroic figure. The film nms two hoL1rs. and at least half of it is explicitly violent. The pain Jesus endured at the hands of the brutal Roman soldiers became numbing to watch after a while. at least to me. Gibson clearly wants the audience to be uncomfo•1 able because the torture scenes are unrelenting. This kind of exposition. of course, is not for everyone. If you are familiar with the ·writings of Matthew, Mark. Luke and John. nothing in the film's script will surprise you. There are Jewish vii- Bill O'Reilly lains and .J ewish heroe s. Most of 1he Roman s are awful. The storyline does nol depart fro m traditional Chri stian teaching. Yet the movie and Gibson himself continue to be viciously attacked. Why'' Even Abraham Foxman. the mil ilani leader of the Anti -Defamation League, now adm its lhc film is not anti-Semitic . Yet Foxma n COI1tinucs to object to it on the basis of what it mi ght do. And that 's the crux of this matter. Some Jews believe persecution is just a shout away, 10 quote Mick Jagger. Thi s prospective must be respected. For thousands of years Jews have been treated wi th brutality and disrespect, often by the followers of Jesus. So fair-minded peopl e can understand !he emotion that some Jews feel when they hear that a Jewi sh character, Judas, betrays Jesus and another Jew ish character. Caiphas, agitates for his death in the movie. The apprehension is real and understandable, but it is wrong to use it as an excuse to vi li fy a man who wants to tell a scriptural story that .he believes illustrates his faith . As the Muslim killers on 9/11 and the pedophile Catholic prie sts prove. there are bad people in all religions . Rational individuals understand although evil has many faces, it does not reside in any particul ar race. Ewn at the height of Third Reich atrocities, there were good German s. People who hate Jews don' t need a movie to fuel their neurosis. Haters will find a way. And ironically, Mel Gibson 's movie is ahout love. Christians believe Jesus loved mankind so much that he willingly gave up his life to give human beings redemption from their failing s. Also. please remember that Jesus, above all. was a Jew. The brutal attack> on Gibson may themselves ere- ate bad will. Most Americans who see thi s movie, I believe, will respect Gibson for making it. They may well see the defamation that has been heaped on him as grossly unfair. In the interest of full di sclosure, I have done some business with Mel Gibson. His company optioned my novel "Those Who Trespass" for 'the movies. This was long before "The Passion" was in production. So I know the guy a bit, and I know hi s passion, is to persuade people that Jesus was a man to be admired and imitated. It is Gibson's prerogative to use the Gospel s to make that point. It is also the prerogative of his critics to frown on the project. But trying to destroy the man's reputation is something else. It reminds me of Roman justice: Guilt or innocence real!y didn 't niatter as long as the harsh puni shment set a frightening example. Ad hominem, indeed. 1 ·- GALLIPOLIS - Oallia County Local School' partnered with l01:al area businesses nnd the Gallia-Vinton Educatiom1l Service Center to provide a Sc·hool-Tn-Work ex pe rie nce for the eighthgrade stude nt s from BidwellPorter Ekmentan.

Our present Healthcare system is costing us 1.6 trillion dollars a year, but leaving out 40 million men, women and children. $1.6 trillion dollars is enough to cover all health, dental, vision and mental care for everyone. Just take the profits made by the Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies and paper work out of the system. As for the mess in Iraq, the leading four say it was a mistake to go in, but since we are there we have to stay and finish the job. Kucinich says if it was wrong to go in, it is wrong to stay. Get out and stop the killing on both sides and stop the privatization of the country in favor of our big corporations. Give the country back to the people of Iraq and pay them reparations for the damages we have done. Now the economy, the· top four Democrat candidates just want to tinker with NAFTA. And then declare it fixed. Kucinich says he will repeal NAFTA and the WTO and the tax cuts for the rich, cut the defense budget by 15% and use the money to put the people back to work rebuilding our infrastructure and making education free for all from kinder~arten through college. . For those who believe as I do that it is time to rein in the Right Wing direction that the Democratic Leadership Council has been and still is taking the Democrat party, it is time to vote for Ohio's favorite son Dennis J.

Carnival began with the usual raucous crowds 'dancing in the streets. On Saturday morning, the hordes turned out for the Cordao de Bola Preta - one of the last traditional carnival brass bands. The band , whose name roughly translates to "Black Ball Band," has played every carnival since 1918. Jason Rouleau , a chef from Rhode Island, was among the revelers crowding around the sound truck holding the band . as it blasted trumpets, trombone s and tubas, instruments rarely used in carnival bands today. "It' s amazing . It's absolutely a mazing,'" Rouleau said as he dan ced in Cinelandia square . "It's the first time I' ve experienced this. It's nothin g like I thought it would be.

He repealed the car tax hike an9 revoked legislation allowin~ illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses, but most of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's first 100 days in office have produced little of the "action, action, action·· he promised during the recall campaign. California's, budget problems, his focus since taking office Nov. 17, remain untamed and only part of the deficit would be closed if voters approve Proposition 57, the Republican governor's $15 bil,lion bond measure that appears on the March ballot. His legislative agenda from workers' compensation reform to midyear spending is stalled in the cuts Legislature. Even Schwarzenegger's plans to streamline the bureaucracy appear months, if not years, away from formal introduction. Still, many observers sity they are willing to overlook Schwarzenegger's lack of .prowess in some areas because of his success in brin~g together the Capitol's wamng ~es. "His major accomphshment . so far is the spirit of bipartisanism that' he's achieved," said Tom Campbell, a Republican former U.S. representative from the Bay Area ·and now dean of the business ' school at the University of California, Berkeley. "I think that's a very significant devel,.opment to see Republicans and Democrats working together." ; Indeed, through the force of his personality and his unique political position, Schwarzenegger was able early on to get Democrats and :Republicans to agree on his "two budget measures that vot.ers will consider March 2: .Proposition 57 and Proposition ·58, a constitutional amendment ~that would impose new spen\1on the ;ing restrictwns -Legislature.

He pledged to cut spending, propose a budget that closed the existing $14. billion deficit, perform an audit, streamline the bureaucracy and pass campaign finance reform. So far, however, o,nly some of those promises have been fulfilled. Schwarzenegger rolled back the tax increase immediately after takin~ office Nov. 17, and the driver s license law was repealed in early December. The governor also has reauthorized a spending and hiring freeze that former Gov. Gray Davis approved more than a year before, before he was ousted in the recall. But he hasn't generated new revenue from renegotiated union contracts or tribal agreements. His workers' compensation reforms . are still being debated in the Legislature. His campaign finance proposal was just floated last week and no jobs package has yet been introduced . The audit of state spending · isn't done. Even his budget for 2004-2005, some have argued, does not close the shortfall because it relies on more than $5.3 billion in borrowing and one-time savings - meaning the state will face a budget gap the following year of more than $7 billion. · · Mark Petracca, a political science professor at the University of California, Irvine, said most voters probably did not take Schwarrenegger at face value when he made all his promises. .

(AP) :Desperate straits call for desperate :measures, and that's how the Phoenix ,Coyotes played it down the stretch. Phoenix scored twice in the fmal :3: 18 Friday night to beat the :Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 and start a ·five-game homestand with a win. The ' :players believe they have to pick up :eight lo 10 points during the bomes:tand to have a shot at the postseason. · · 'That's what we're tallting about," :said Jeff Taffe, who had a goal and !assisted on Daymond Langkow's :winner with 19 seconds remaining. "I :mean, these five games here, we pret- ty much have to win them all. If we win all of them, we're right back in , the hunt." The Coyotes tied it on Paul Mara's power-play goal with 3: 18 left. Then Langkow went top shelf with a rebound of his first shot after a pass from Taffe behind the net. Jean-Marc Pelletier earned his initial NHL victory by making 26 saves, including 14 in the second period despite allowing goals by Trevor Letowski and Jaroslav Spacek. . · Pelletier, recalled on Feb. 10, had a shutout loss in his only start with Philadelphia in 1998-99. He was 0-2 with the Coyotes last season after they acquired him and a draft pick from Carolina in December 2001 . The Blue Jackets started an even more inexperienced goalie in Pascal Leclaire, who made 28 saves and was minutes away from winning his NHL debut. · "It's frustrating when any team comes back on you," Leclaire said. "l know, though, that l can play in that league. Now I just have to make the big save." Phoenix failed to get a shot off in three power plays in the third period, but capitalized on the fourth when KENT (AP) - Jason Edwin scored 25 points to lead Kent State to ils I Oth consecutive victory, 70-55 over Cretghton on Saturday, and both teams tried to impress NCAA tournament offi cials who' ll choose at-large squads. Scott Culley scored eight of his nine points m a 19-0 Kent State run that gave the Golden Flashes a 60-42 lead w1th 9:12 to play. Kent State (20-3) became M1d-Amencan the first Conference school to win 20 games in SIX consecuti :.e seasons. The marquee matchup againsl Creighton (19-5) was one of I 0 " Bracket Buster" games nation wide fe atu ring lop teams from II m1d-major confere nces in head-to-head play.

The BlueJays are now under more pressure to win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament and secure a postseason berth. Southern IllinOis has already clinched the regul ar-season title. Mike Grimes led Creighton wah 13 points, mcluding four 111 a 10-2 run thai brought lhe Bluejays Within 62-42 with' 3:30 to play.

Haut finished with 18 points Edwm had 13 pmnt&., before halftime, hilling all three of his 3-point shots. Unttl the spurt, the teams were remarkably even, w1th a 32-32 tie at the half. Since the 1998-99 season, Kent State is 142-43 and Crei ghton 14042. Kentucky beats Auburn, 68-59 AUBURN , Ala.

The Coyotes swarmed the Columbus end after that, and Langkow capitalized to extend the Blue Jackets winless streak on the road to nine games (0-6-3). '"'bnighl was a must-win game," Langkow said. · Columbus interim coach Gerard Gallant thought his team deserved better. "It's definitely disheartening when you kill three of them off and then you get a fourth penalty in a row in the third period when you're winning 2l," Gallant said. Pelletier had nine saves in the first period, three during two Blue Jackets power plays that included I :01 of five-on-three. He made one highlightreel stop when he blocked a shot by Todd Marchant on a breakaway and then gloved the puck in the air. "The breakaways are nice in the beginning, but you have to stop them, too,'' Pelletier said. "If you don't, you can be the hero or the zero pretty easy."

One minute into the ~arne Eastern scored and led 2. 0 until Federal ned 1t at the 5:45 mark 2-2 The : game continued m that fashion for the remain: der of the game. While it was an exctting game to watch. the game was hectic for both coaching staffs, who anxiously played'the chess game and .frantically tried to disperse a game plan to the1r subordtnates. Eastern went on to lead 6-5 before Federal went up 7-6 and then Eastern went up 10-7. Eastern led 15-ll going mto the last 15 seconds, but Federal held for the last shot and scored for a 15-13 score after an embattled first round. Robert Cross (six points) dominated the first round for the Eagles as part of an eleven point first half. Derek Baum dramed a trey. while Grubb Dillard, and Dill each added two. Greg Posto~ drilled a three pointer and a deuce, while Cody Hornsby tallied four pomts, and !-Butcher and Amash notched two each for the Lancers. Neither team could gain a clear advantage in the second round. Grubb and Cross mixed up ' an ins1de-out combo, and Simpson pitch~d in with a couple short jumpers, but a series of three tri-fectas (Gandee, Poston, and Butcher) combined with a Poston deuce, countered the Eastern assault. Tied at 28-28 with I :30 left in the half, Grubb hit a three pointer m give Eastern a 31-28lead at the intenmsston. . Midway through the third round Eastern led 37-36.

Eastern led 59-57, but another Gandee tnple made it 60-59 Federal. A Hornsby deuce pushed the ante up to 62-59 at the 3:15 mark, then a Dill jumper inside and a Dill free tJu;ow that followed another FH score cut the lead to 62-61.

Eastern had a chance to run out the clock, but after a turnover Federal had a chance on the inbounds play but also failed and sent the game into overttme, 67-67 at the end of regulation. Like squeezing drops of moisture from a damp towel, Eastern Coach Howte Caldwell gave the Eagles a pep talk and ran them through the wringer, squeezing out some unfound offense and a defensive stand that blanked the Lancers·in the extenston period, 7-0 for the win.

And this was supposed to be the minor leagues of stock car racing"1 When it comes to NASCAR. the lines between the majors and the minors are defi nitely blu rred. Nextel Cup stars such as Earnhardt regularly take a demotion to race agamst the up-and-comers and on-theway-downe rs m the Busch Series. And no one finds 11 all that unusual - even though it's ak m to Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Eric Gagne stopping by to play a few games in T1i ple-A every year. '"I hke it because we can come down here and be real successful," said Earnhardt, who won the season-opening Busch race on Monday - less than 24 hours after winning the Daytona 500 on the same track. "'It's just fun. Until they say we c:an't, I'll keep doing it." NASCAR has no problem with its top dn vers taking part m Busch races. knowing they bnng 111 more fans and sponsors to the series that normally provides a warm-up to the big event every weekend. The stars eve n have their own name: Buschwhackers. The 34-race Busch season includes 26 events that are run in the same cities as the Nextel Cup races, usually the day before to bolster the weekend schedule. (The Busch race at Daytona International Speedway wasn' t completed until Monday because of rain.) The other eight Busch races serve a different purpose for NASCAR, going to tracksmcluding Nashville, St Louis and Kentucky - that haven't landed a prized spot on the Nextel Cup schedule. Call it the consolation prize. Gordon, who finished third m Monday's race at Daytona, said the Nextel Cup regulars add a little glamour to the developmental series. He's got a three-year deal to run 25 Busch races annually, 111 addition to his regular jOb. "It 's great for the sport," Gordon said. "If not for the Cup guys coming down, the Busch Series would struggle. They wouldn't have the sponsors they do now." There are other benefits, as well. "We can teach the young kids what the next level is like," Gordon said. "A lot of the guys in our series came from the Busch Series." What do the stars get out of it? For many, it's a chance to start building their own race team. Earnhardt, for example, co-owns a Busch operation with stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. Martin Truex is the team' s full-time dnver, but Junior plans to take part Ill at least two more Busch races thts year. Then there's Johnny Sauter and Kasey Kahne, rookies m Nextel Cup They' ll do double duty this season wtth a full slate of Busch rdces - a way to gain twice as much experience in a year's time. There's nothing the Busch guys hke better than beatmg the Buschwhackers It thdn 't happen at Daytona, but the regulars did knock off the mterlopers m six of the last mne companion races a year ago. "It ups your game," Busch dri ve r Jaso n Leffl er said. "When l went down to the truck senes for a couple of years, I didn' t have as many good guys around me. I got into a rut. When I came' hack and did a couple of Cup races at the end of the year. I was like, ' Holy cow. This is tough. · Those guys are the best. You have to do the best you can j ust to stay with them." The Busch Series serves up an mteresting mi x on race day. It 's a chance to see dn vers u n the rise, such as 2003 cham"pion Bnan Vickers, who won the title at age 20 and earned a full-time Cup ri de this year. Then there are dri vers such as 33-year-old Jason Keller. who are trying to make a li ving in Busch while clinging to the hope of a promotion. With more and more 20-somethings getting a chance to race ui the Cup series, he knows the wmdow of opportunity " clost ng DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. - At the moment of the btggest triumph of his blossoming career, Dale Earnhardt Jr. made sure to spend time connecting with hts fans. He drove slowly back around the 2 112-mile oval at Daytona International Speedway, waving to fans out the window of his car, then stopped at the finish line to celebrate mstead of drivmg straight to Victory Circle. " I just wanted to shout at the fans, wave at them, hear what they had to say," Earnhardt said. The fans, many of them clad in red and white, the colors on Junior's No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet, waved and roared back at their hero after his Daytona 500 win Sunday. And there were plenty of them. He has so many fans, in fact, they' ve been dubbed by some as Earnhardt's Army. "When I walk around with Jumor, I feel like I'm with Elvi s," said · Martin Truex, whom Earnhardt hired to drive the Busch Series car he coowns with stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. As Earnhardt wins more races and becomes a legitimate star on the track, his popularity is soaring - even outside racing circles. He's showing ue in lots of commercials, on blllboards, in MTV videos and documentaries about his life, at rock concerts and in numerous television interviews . This week alone, he went from NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Regis and Kelly," to sitting down with David Letterman . Earnhardt inherited a lot of fans from his father when the Intimidator - easily ·the most popular driver of his era in stock car racing - was killed in the 2001 Daytona 500. "I was his daddy's fan and now I'm his fan," said William Donovan, a carpenter from Indianapolis who was among more than 1,000 fans waiting to get into the building where Earnhardt's No. 8 car would be put on dtsplay. In most years, perhaps 200 fans show up for the postDaytona 500 ceremony. This time, five times that many were in line Monday morning to buy tickets and get the chance to see their hero and maybe get an autograph or even a couple of words with Junior. "He's a lot like his daddy," Donovan said. "He's tough and he's a winner." The 29-year-old Earnhardt. who projects the image of a quietly confident. hip and happy-go-lucky young man, admits he is a btl overwhelmed by the attention. "What's most umazmg to me today is seeing a grown man cry at Daytona USA , tal king about how happy he was tn be here," Earnhardt said after the ceremony. "He's from Canada and come down to watch the race, and he's just glad that I was able to win because he traveled so far and put so much money and effort into coming here to watch the race . "That just shows you how big an effect and how much impact you can have on one person. And, when you multiply that by so many people. it "s really overwhelming." Earnhardt, a third-generation NASCAR star, considers the adulation a huge responsi. bility. "When people pull for you, you can't go out "there and do something foolish and make a fool out of them next to their buddy when they go to work on Monday and they got to hear how you done," he said. "I just try to do right and make them people proud, even outside the race car.'' And he doesn't want to take the- fans for granted. "It don't last foreve r," last. ··Everyone hus d1tfe rem agendas d<.m n here."" Keller Sdtd "Some guys are usmg it a' a stcppmg qzme. Some just use it to play mound on a day oft. Then thcre"s guys hke me and David Green, who are trying to use it for our full -time job."' Busch olficwl' have tned to leve l th e play ing fi eld by tequnmg all teams to be in the Inspection line before the fi rst Cup practice on the morni ng of a Busch race. If not hing else; that ehm111ated the perception th <~t Cup dnve rs had an advantage by getti ng in a practice nght betore the Busch race. ~Kell er doesn"t mmd racmg agamst the Cuo regul.trs, even though they mtght have st10nge1 cars and better crews. "There 's a cert am excitement when those guys are around."" he said. "'It \ a chance for my ptt crew to compete agamst the best ptt crews It 's a chance for me to race agai nst tl1e best dn vers."" And there 's nothing li ke bea tmg the best.

He has a history of struggling here : In etght career toP.-series starts at the 1.017mile oval, Earnhardt's best finish was 13th, in November. His Dale Earnhardt Inc. team has spent a considerable amount of time testing in preparation for the Subway · 400, hoping the extra work will propel him to another victory. "In the past, it was a track we struggled at," he said·. "It" may be the only place we ha ven ' t really conquered yet. " Junior has proven to be a master at Daytona and Talladega Superspeed)Nay the two tracks that require horsepower-sapping restnctor plates - partly because of the . time and energy DEI devotes to those facilities. He won all three races he en!ered at Daytona last week and has nine career victories there. But if Junior wants to be taken seriously as a cham pionship contender, he needs to improve at the tracks he has never masked hi s di sdain fm . That includes Rockin gham, where the rough surface eats away at tices and puts driver ability and handling at a premium. "Even though we devote a lot of effort and time to restrictor-plate tracks, Rockin$1iam is a ·track we' ve emphas tzed as a place where we need to improve if we're goin~ to wm a champi onship," he said.

A COVERT (Kuv 'ert) is a thicket affording she lterin g habitat for wildlife. The "Ohio COVERTS Project" is a program for landowners anq others · who are interested in improving forest wildlife habitat . A maj or foc us of the project is a 2 1/2 day sem inar which will be held Sept. 23-25 at Canter's Cave 4-H Camp near'Jackson . In the past, the term "forest management" was used as a synonym for timber management. Periodic income from the sale of timber is an economic reality for woodland owners. But a little extra planning and effort produce wildlife benefits as well. Philosophically, the COVERTS Project intends to show that forest ·management decisions shou ld be based on two things : · 1.) the owner's goals and objecti ves for the land , and · · 2.) the ability of the forest to provide a mix of benefits in proportion to the owner's objectives and interests. Althoug h timber production must Sunday, February 22, 2004 Jim Freeman IN THE OPEN occasionall y be sac rificed to favor wildlife. quite often the two go hand in hand . The key is to recognize the potential for habitat improvement and make timber management decisions while considering how they will affect wildlife. The seminar is designed to teach participants how to improve wildlife habitat through sound forest and wildlife management practices. The seminar takes place in an informal camp environment and the extensive forests of Jackson and Vinton counties . Training wi ll include indoor and outdoor sessions in ecology, as well as forest and wildlife management. This trammg. referen ce material s. food, and lodging are provided free of charge to all participants. In exchange , participants are asked to actively participate in an informed network of woodland owl)ers who promote woodland stewardship. .,. The "Ohio COVERTS Project" is large ly funded by The Ruffed Grouse Society with support from The National Wild Turkey Federation. The project in Ohio is conducted by Ohio State University Exten sion with the help of the Ohio Department of Natural · Resources Divisions of Wildlife and · Forestry.

She can stare through a viewing scope, see .the slightest twitch a halfmile away, and call it magical. Fredritz is one of about 150 volunteer eag le watchers. most of whom live in Ohio's rural areas and near the waterways where the eag les prefer to build their nests. They are trained to be the eyes and ears of the state's Department of 'Natural Resources, which monitors the protection and progress of the now burgeoning eagle , population. : To her, time and tempera: ture are of no consequence :when it comes to caring for five bald eagle nests in Wyandot, Seneca and 1-lancock counties. :: Two of the huge birds are :preparing to raise their young :in each of those nests. While , they are the parents, Fredritz is the mother hen. · · "They are my adopted. extended family, " said · Fredritz, who lives near this :northwest Ohio community. :"They are fascinating and beautiful, and it is very easy to lose track of the time while you are out there watching them soar overhead or prepare the nest for their young. "And when you see that :first little movement down in the nest, and that little head pops up, you're as proud as if they were your own." · The six new nests in Ohio this year were all found by ' volunteers, said James :o ' Connor, who coordinates ·the eagle watcher program from the state's Crane Creek Wildlife Research Station in Ottawa County. · "As Ohio 's bald eagles :have come back and contin: ued to spread throughout the ·$late, we have had to rely on · interested citizens to help us monitor them ," he said. "They become very knowledgeable and very protective of the eagles and their nest.mg areas." Ohio's eagle population was almost wiped out by pesticides in the food chain . When the state conducted its first midwinl.er survey in 1979 , there were ju,, t six eag les throughout Ohio. By a year ago, there were 304 ad ult eagles counted, and they hatched I 05 eag lets from 88 different nests, all monitored by the volunteers. A new survey last month counted 95 nests in 57 Ohio counties and 352 eagles. "I remember those days when the eagles were gone," said Dick Tuttle, a retired science · teacher who lives in Delaware and helps monitor eagle nests in Delaware County. " I never saw an eagle until I was an adult, and that was I0 or II years ago when I saw my first one here." · The eagle watchers monitor the nests for the arrival of mating r.airs and the start of nest butlding activities that indicate they will likely lay eggs, the incubation of those eggs and the hatching of young. They also must see that the public respects the areas around the nests, which are off-limits during nesting periods. They file written reports on all activities around the nests. " It isn't very often that you'll have to report someone getting too close, but it does happen," Tuttle said. "I think it's probably a curiosity thing, since these birds of prey are huge and so distinct with their massi ve wingspan s and white heads." Eagle watcher Ray Thomas said he had a different kind of trespasser a few years ago. "The bald eagles got very agitated one day and we couldn't figure out what it was all about," he said. Then he saw a golden eagle in a nearby tree. "Pretty soon the male got up in the air and more or .Jess escorted him out of there, and things went back to normal." From their home in Champion, Thomas and his wife , Shirley, monitor five nests in Trumbull County, along Mosquito Creek and Pymatuning Creek. They joined the program 18 years ago when there was just one nest in that northeast corner of the state . "I guess it's a patriotic thing first of all, si nce this is our national symbol and you want to see it flourish," Thomas said. "And since we almost lost it, it seems like we should do a good job of protecting it now for future generations to enjoy. "We get an awful lot of enjoyment out of. it too, just watching them fly, then watching them teach the chicks to fly." Once the eagle watchers see the female sitting on the nest for extended periods of time , they record the date and start to monitor the activity more closely. The male will bring her food, and the nest will rarely go unattended for the 35 days or so it takes to hatch the young eagles. "I've seen them bring back fish, squirrels, turtles, raccoons, ground hogs and rabbits," Thomas said. "They' re not real picky, and it's fascinating to see them grab something, fly up there with it, and then feed on it." The eagles nest in the tops of large trees, normally sycamores and cottonwoods. "They add on to the nest every winter, as long as the tree will support it," Fredritz said. "Around the end of January you start to see them world ng on the nest, and you know the female will be in there laying eggs before long. "The nests get huge. One of tllem I look after is starting to look like a Volkswagen that got stuck up in 1he top of that tree." If the incubation cycle is interrupted or the nest watch- ers do not see chick activi ty within 35 days after the female starts to sit on the nest, they report thi s to the stale wildlife officials. The nests are sometimes inspected to determine what might be wrong. "They become like fam.ily," Thomas said of the. eagles. "We get excited When the little ones are on the way. and we mourn when •we lose one. .

"Everybody thinks we're going down this year, which is the same thing I heard when l came to camp last year," Braves pitcher Russ Ortiz said. "That's really kind of crazy when you think about it.

(AP) - Lowell Austin and his •uncle, Howard , had a special bond. The man with the doctoral degree in artificial intelligence from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the boy with Asperger's Syndrome played ball together and roughhoused like friends. Howard Austin, who spent his career trying to develop cognitive skills in machines, was fascinated by how one child could have both extremes of human intelligence. Lowell is advanced in some areas and far behind his peers on others - hallmarks of his autism speclr\lm disorder that is chru-.tcterized by normal intelligence and language skills, but marked deficiencies in social and communication abilities. W)len . Howard Austin died in April 2001 , his family wanted to create a memorial and turned to Marshall University. The family's only connection to Marshall was they had heard about its Autism Training Center and that it was in West Virginia. Howard Austin and his siblings grew up in Athens, Mercer County. With a $50,000 contribution, the family asked the center to create a program that could ' serve as a national model to help people with autism attend college. The family would later . . add $25,000. "Marshall had all the parts · of the puzzle," said Lowell's mother, Linda Austin. "They just hadn 't put it all together."

It's only if you look closely do you see telltale signs of an autism spectrum disorder. · He doesn't like crowded rooms or paths. When he goes somewhere, he is single-minded, walking quickly with his head down, body leaning forward as if into a strong wind. He sometimes pays no attention to what's going on around him, thus his mother's fear of him crossing streets: He forgets things, like books and pencils- he can go through three boxes in a semester. He doesn ' t like working on projects with other students. "I' m not very good with the social thing," he says in a tone that implies he is simply s talin~ an interesting fact. Soc1ology was his favorite class last semester because it made "everything social concrete instead of abstract. It's my way of learning about the social world." Math professor John Drost says Andrew was an above average student in his precalculus class last faiL "I think he interacts well with the other students. I'm not sure the other students get him," Drost said. "I think they think there is something a little different about him, but they don't know exactly'what." · Andrew 's goal is to live in a dorm next year. Until then, he commutes every weekday with his mother, who also is a Marshall student, from her father's home in Kitts Hill, Ohio. On weekends they return to their own home in Beckley.

Dressed in an increasingly distracting series of skintight get-up s that ultimately resemble dominatrix gear. Ryan stars as female boxing manager Jackie Kallen in a story 'based extremely loosely on Kallen's life. Affecting a thick, nasal accent that's supposed to sound Midwestern, Ryan tries way too hard to be tough as ·nails as the only woman struggling to succeed in a man's world. And nearly every man is a stereotypical chauvinist, from her boss • at the Cleveland Coliseum (Joe Cortese), where she works as a secretary, to Sam LaRocca (Tony Shalhoub), the bigtime boxing manager she ends up challenging. Director Charles S. Dutton scored the best developed, most sympathetic role for himself as Felix Reynolds, a longtime trainer who reluctantly comes out of retirement to help Jackie transform street thug Luther Shaw (Omar Epps) into a streamlined middleweight fighter. But Dutton's formidable presence is, unfortunately, ·best felt in front of the cam- · era and not behind it. His tone is too light and lively at times and too heavy-handed at others - especially at the end, which features perhaps the most egregious sportsmovie cliche of all, the slow clap .' And the score from the late Michael Kamen tends to be intrusively melodramatic, which makes "Against the Ropes" feel like a made-forTV movie. So "Rocky," it ain't. The majority of the characters including Jackie and Luther - are so underdeveloped, it's hard to get emotionally involved in their shared quest for victory. And as Luther wins bout after bout, Jackie gets more and more TV face time, which makes her more and more egomaniacal and even harder to watch than she was in the begin. \ mng. The real-life Jackie Kallen, who served as an associate producer, was a longtime sports journalist, public-relations agency owner and mother of two before turning to boxing. Her first client was Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns. · But as a former writer, she must have cringed at some of the hammy lines in Cheryl Edwards' script: - "You can't even see the glass ceiling from here," says her friend and coliseum co. worker, Renee (Kerry Washington), in one of many forced metaphors. "Find an elevator, press some bu.ttons." · "I'd rather have that kind of kaput than your kind of stupid," Jackie huffs to her boss before storming away . 2004 - Dl 6unbap QI:imes·6tntintl INSIDE House of the week, Page D2 - . from her dead-end job. (At various points, she also refers to things favorably as being "the bomb" or "off the hook," in a .feeble attempt at being · "down.") Then, once she finally hits the big time: - ~'Thi s is HBO," says a smarmy T¥ reporter, " the majordomo of bo11:ing we're talking about, here." At least the fight scenes themselves are vivid and visceral - but if that's what you're looking for, you're probably better off turning to that aforementioned majordomo of boxing on cable television.

FoR THE AssoCIATED PRESS Chevrolet officials must have had this winter's bitingly cold w_inds and low temperatures in mind when they re-engineered and redesigned the Chevy Malibu. Why else would they make the new 2004 Malibu the 0111y auto in the mid-size sedan market .offered with a .factory-option remote vehicle starter, allowing a driver to start the car without first climbing inside its frigid interior? A Malibu driver can be snug inside the house, as much as 200 feet away, and activate the remote vehicle starter, all with the vehicle's doors remaining locked to prevent theft. This remote starting feature, an option that's normally available only as an after-market purchase, is just one of the changes that make the 2004 Malibu worth a look for family car shoppers. The Malibu rides on a new, improved platform for a better ride, has a more powerful V6 than its predecessor, and a comfortable, five-passenger interior with standard driver-seat height adjustment. The new model has styling that would be expected from the popular Japanese family cars such as Toyota Camry and Honda .Accord. There's also a new kind 'of Malibu for 2004 - a fivedoor hatchback called the Malibl.l Maxx that was the test car. As the roomiest hatchback auto on the market, the Maxx offers an unheard-of 41. inches of rear legroom: standard skylights in the rear-seat ceiling and a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination 'charge, of $22,225. The lowest-prjced Malibu, however, is the 145-horsepower base Malibu sedan . with four·cylinder engine. Its MSRP, including desti' . nation charge, starts at $19,395. Competitors such as the Camry and Accord do not offer hatchbacks. The starting MSRP, including desti.nation charge, for a base, 2004 Camry is $19,560. This is for a four· cylinder model with manual transmission . . The base, 2004 Accord with four-cylinder ~ngine and manual transmission starts at $16,390. All Malibu Maxxes come with the top engine - a 200-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 whose design uses overhead valves rather than the more modern dual overhead cam technology of .the Accord and Camry V6s. The test Malibu with fourspeed automc;~tic transinis· sion ran smoothly, with sat· isfying engine sounds easily heard inside the vehicle. The sounds were accompanied by good power ~hat got the car merged Into traffic without a hiccup.· · Torque ts 220 foot-pounds · at 3,200 rpm.. . , Note the Mal1bu 1sn t the \ power lead~r among mam- stream butfamily the cars, new V6 is way ahead of the 170-horse V6 with 190 foot-pounds of torque that was in last year's Malibu. Toyota's Camry this year offers two V6s for the first time: A 210-horse, 3-liter V6with 220 foot-pounds of torque at 4,400 rpm, and a 225-horsepower, 3 .3-liter V6 with 240 foot- pounds of torque, The Accord's top 3-liter V6 generates a maximum 240 horsepower and 212 footpounds at 5,000 rpm. Fuel economy during the combined city/highway test drive in the Maxx was on the low side, 23.1 miles a gallon. The official rating is 22 mpg in the. city and 30 mpg on the highway. The new Malibu uses a version of the car platform that's In the Europeantuned Opel Vectra and Saab 9-3. Chevy's parent company, General Motors Corp., operates Opel in Europe and controls Swedish automaker Saab. Don't expect the '04 Malibu to ride like a sporty. German car· or a Saab. It doesn't.

I .felt road imperfections as l traveled, but there was lit· tie harshness, even when seats inside the test car had a nice feel, too. Notice how generous the Malibu's rear-seat cushion is. When I sat back there, the cushion extended all the way to the back of my knees to provide good support. Rear doors and rear-door windows are good-sized. and the Malibu has a good choice of features including optional OnStar emergency notification system, optional XM satellite radio and power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals for proper driver positioning behind the wheel. There's a lot o.f functionality in the Maxx, thanks to ~ roomy, 22.8-cubic-foot cargo area behind the rear seats that's larger than the trunk space of the Camry and Accord, anet , for that matter, the Malibu sedan.

Safety Administration does not have crash test results for the 2004 Malibu sedan or Maxx hatchback and has not reported a safety recall of the new, re-engineered models.
