Hill Controller·lnterim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor READER'S VIEW o are we? Our Identity Dear Editor: Who are we'' Because of an unfonunate and painful accident I was forced to forgo my usual fall activities (squrirrel hunting, nut gathering, turkey hunting, deer hunting) to spend four month s in vinual home confinement. This led to an inordinate amount of TV watching. Thi s led to the following conclusions· There Js no uniform label fo r o ur country and our people We are Amencans so is everyone from the southern tip of South America to Alaska. We are Citizens of the United States of America. The good people of Hav.mi are U S Citizens but they are not American s. Our beloved Stars and Stripes is not the "American" tl~g . It is the flag of-the Umted States. · Are all the statements and promi ses made by candidates about what they will do for "America" limited to the U.S ., or all "Amencans" trom Nonh to South? From the local media - both print and T V, we see "America" and "A}Jlericans" used in a varied and indistinct manner. For instance, February 8, 2004, on the NBC mornmg "ews nine times, on the Fox News 12 t1mes, on Meet the Press 25 times, and in our Sentinel in O'Reilly's column we find it seven times. A friend of mine (yes I do have one) suggests we call ourselves USAians Would that work ? · When 1 was younger, Made in America meant it was made here by our people m our factorie s. Today it can mean assembled here from 1mponed parts or it can mean made in Hunduras, Brazil, Mexico, Canada. It doesn't always mean Made in United States. There used to be bumper sticker that read "Buy American -· The job you save may be your own." We didn't heed this advice and we are paying a terrible price. And that is the (long) Bottom Line. Henry Bahr Long Bottom Marriage Bible .condemns gay maniage Dear Editor: In his Feb. 19 column regarding an anti-gay marriage amendment to the Constitution, Monon Kondrake conjectures that "gay couples who want to commit themselves to each ·.other for life are not defiling" the sanctity of marriage. "They · are affirming it." While an admittedly novel concept that would seem, at least pn the surface, to place monogamous homosexual couples (by statistics, quite a mrity in itself) on the same sipe of traditional "conservat1ve values" as the so-called "Christian right," . this argument sorely misses the point. The traditional B1bhcal answer would be, of course, that one does not protect the sanctity of marriage, a divinely established covenant rel ationship, by sanctioning homosexuality, a lifestyle God prohibits in both tbe Old and New Testaments. Ko.ndrake also points to the current, lamentable state of marriage - half of heterosexual marriages fail - but one can hardly see how legalizing homosexual "marriages" would · help this tragic situatmn. A return to the traditional, Biblical values of "fidelity, monogamy and family cohesion" would do more to bolster marriage in Amenca than sanctioning the homosexual lifestyle. . . The Rev.

At the same time, the Democratic frontrunne r, Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass .. wants to strangle the revenues of the pharmaceutical companies who'd develop a medicme to treat you. Between the two of them, they're a deadly duo. And Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., would be little better. He's JOining in hi s party's jihad against drug companies. Actually, it is possible to Identify the most dangerous of the cand1dates.

In future years, the Bu ~ h admimstration plans to ll)Crease medical re search funding by 2 percent or less ·~ with almost all of the mcrease going for obviously necessary programs to combat bmterrorism. The budget allocations mean cuts in research for all other diseases. Bush administration officials assen that because the NIH budget was doubled over the five fiscal years from 1999 to 2003 , the agency can't absorb any further increases. But that's like arguing that because members of a malnourished family got more than 2,000 calories a day for a week, they can't take an adequate diet anymore and and childhood adult leukemia, Alzhei mer's disease, Parkmson's and schizophrenia.

(Mo rton Kondracke is executive editm of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.) \ Computers will say uJho you are \ In his new book, 'Terrorism, Freedom, and Security: Winning Without War' (MIT Press, 2003), Harvard Law School proffssor Philip Heymann, a former deputy U.S. attorney general, warns about the coming of a national intelligence state 'where information about citizens is gathered extremely broadly and the activities of the intelligence agencies are unconstrained.' We are already well on the way to having our lives extensively computerized by the government through the Patriot Act's unprecedented powers of electronic surveillance, some of it with mimmal JUdicial oversight through the compliant, secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And the president recently signed the 2004 Intelligence Authorization Act, giving the FBI, among other agencies, the authority to gather bountiful amounts of personal records without having to get any permission from a judge. Some time this year, the Department of Homeland Security is planning a test run of CAPPS II, an advanced version of the Computer-Assi s ted Passenger Pre-screening System that will subject the I00 million people or so who fly on our airlines to a risk analysis. This procedure will give each of them a score regarding their 'lhreat level' of being invol~ed in terrorism. This system is nqt the innocuous, though annC>ying, collection of information done by telemarketers and other solicitors that is used to deluge our postal boxes and computer accounts with Nat Hentoff ' targeted junk mail. This is a compilation of private information, from various sources, that you may not want collected artd distributed without your knowledge or consent. Already, congressional auditors, through the General Accounting Office, have warned about the plan's propensity for abuse of privacy, and they have raised questions about the accuracy of the information that will affix 'threat level ' scores next to each passenger's name . The followi)'lg is what Homeland Security is plan· ning to do with the data as soon as you make an airline reservation: After the airline obtains your name , address, phone number; date of birth and intended destination, the information is sent to the Transportation Security Admimstration. The data will t!u:n be sent to a commercial database company that will authenti· · cate your identity. And this only begins the government's pre-flight investigation into you . On Feb. 2. Ann Brick, an American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney in northern California, reported in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, a legal affairs newspaper, on some additional screening procedures. Bnck wrote that the government 'will next enter the passenger's name into a 'Black Box' - a computer program using a secret set of law enforce ent, intelligence and othe databases to generate a 'n s~ assessment' for each passenger based on a secret set of cr~ · teria." As this plan ow exists, you will not kno what those criteria are or what information about you has determined your threat risk. If it's green, you will get the usual, standard search before you can 1;et to your gate. (Wear shoes with Velcro strips rather than laces. I've learned they're easier to take off.) If you're rated as yellow, you will be subject to considerably more intensive searching. And if your color is red, your ticket will be usele ss, you will not be allowed to board the aircraft, and it's very likely that you w1ll be taken to a room where law enforcement agencies will be asking a lot of questions. Since we don't know what the computer thinks it has learned about us , we won't know how reliable the information is. Funher; computer software is under constant threat of attack from hackers, who can potentially alter your security profile or steal all of thi s personal data that has been readily compiled for them into their one database. No one, not even the software juggernaut Microsoft, is safe from such data crimes, as have recently been reported. So the CAPPS II data's becomes tru stworthiness even more critical , which IS apparently not a serious enough government concern, as Brick further reported that: 'The unreli ability of CAPPS II is compounded by having the assignment of a threat level to passengers made not by human beings but by computer algorithms. The computer is not simply asked to determine the likelihood that a passenger is a known terrorist or has identi· fiable links to known terrorists or terro11st organizations. Rather the, system is also asked to predict whether the passenger 'otherwise poses a threat to passenger or aviation security." What does 'otherwise' mean? And, once th1s coloring scheme is m place, why limit it to airline passengers? To maximize homeland security, the government could extend this system to railroad· depots, bus stations and beyond. Once a computer system is developed, by its very nature, it's child 's play to share its results across a broad range of groups or, m thi s case, government agenci es. We would then be constantly screened through a nelwork of government checkpoints, whi ch, ironically, is an image often ominously mocked in American movies as part of a communist or fascist nation's modus operandi Since most members of Congress are frequent flyers, I earnestly hope they will subject thi s computenzed transformation of America to persistent scrutiny. Can computers guarantee our being able to remain free Americans ? Or 1s the Constitullon's built-in protections, guaranteeing civil liberties, a safer-alternative?

"I've never been around a group that has jelled," firstxear coach Paul Silas said. This was sweet. We want to keep this thing going." James also had a basket, steal and rebound in the final · I: 19 as Cleveland completed one of the biggest comebacks in its 35-year history. Neither the Cavs nor the Elias Sports Bure.au could determine if it was the Cavs' largest comeback, but th!)re's no disputing it was one of their most improbable.

Coach Bob Huggins had played htim sparingl y as the season went along. "1 just need a break right now,'· Whaley said in a statement. " I need to get my head cleared and think about some things. I wish the team the best and hope they ha ve a great season." Huggins said he hopes that Whaley "gets things sorted out. " Several players 'quit the team last season, but were welcomed back when they changed their minds . Whaley averaged 6.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 20 games. The 6-foot-10. 260pound center played 10 minutes in a 66-61 overtime victory over Louisville on Saturday, but went 0-for-2 from the field and had only. one rebound . Whaley was the star of the Bearcats' last recruiting clas~, considered one of the top J UCO players in the country. He played two years at Barton County Community College, then ca me to Cincinnati expecti ng to take over at center. Instead. he was slow to catch on. He scored in double figures in only tour of his 20 games. and had three or fewer rebounds 13 times. He was often out of position on defense. Whaley al so was slowed by torn knee cartilage that required arthroscopic · surgery on Dec. 3. He missed only one game. but cumplai ned that the knee still bothered him after the ope ration, limiting hi s ability to jump and shoot.

(AP) Right-hander Chris Reitsma doesn't know where he 'II wind up in the Cin'cinnati Reds' pit~hing plans this season. Given the way he's moved around, he's ready for anything. . Reitsma, 26, has been a stJ~rter, a setup man and a <;loser in the last three years. bouncing from role to role as the Reds try to figure out where he might fit be st. He aypears to be headed for a setup slot this season, although he's gotte·n no assurances. ~ 'They haven't really to'ld me." Reitsma said Monday. "It's just a matter of getting ready. Whatever they need me to do, I' ll do ." · Lately, he's done it all. He was considered one of . the Reds ' top pitching prospects wlien he was first promoted in 200 I. He went 7-15 with a 5.29 ERA, leading all National League rookies with 29 starts and 182 innings. Reitsma was in the rotation again at the start of the 2002 season. but struggled and was demoted to the minors. He was bumped to the bullpen toward the end of the season. After three starts last sea- son, he went back to the bullpen as a setup man for closer Scott Williamson . When Williamson was traded to Boston in July. Reitsma became the closer and had some success. converting 12 of his last 14 chance s. Oventll, he went 5-5 in three start s and 54 relief appearances, with 12 saves and a 4.29 ERA. The local chapter of the Baseball Writers' Assoc iation of America voted him the club's most outstanding pitcher for 2003. when the Reds lost 93 games. Reitsma made $350,000 last year. and was eligible for arbi tration for the first time in the offseason. He asked for $ 1.45 million, but the club's offer of $950,000 was upheld. The Reds have decided to move Danny uraves out of the rotation and back into the closer 's role , forcing Reitsma to change job descriptions again. "Danny's got 130 saves, he knows what it takes to be a closer, he 's done it for years," Reitsma said. "He's comfortable in that role and obviously has been very successful. If they want him in that role. it doesn't make me uncomfortable in the least." He would like to settle into a role and stop bouncing around. "I don't think you ever get comfortable with doing that," Reitsma said. "That's not an easy thing to do. But I have started 50-some games (53), middle relieved, closed . Hopefully as time goes by. I can move into a role and stay there ." Schmidt calls Rose 'a beaten man' CLEARWATER. Fla. (APJ Hall of Farner Mike Schmidt called Pete Rose "a beaten man.. and doesn't know whether the career hits leader will gain reinstateriient to baseball. Schmidt, one of Rose's biggest allies. said baseball's hits king didn't come across as a sympathetic figure in a book tour that included television and ne"':spaper interviews. In "My Prison Without Bars," Rose rever"sed· course from 15 years of denials and admitted to betting on the Cincinnati Reds while he managed the team in the late 19S0s. "It wasn't the best showing of sorrow and regret." Schmidt said Monday. "That's just sofnething Pete isn' t great at doing. But I know he truly is sorry ltnd that he regrets everything. He talked to me about it in private, told me that he let me down·. And he broke down. "As· SO()IH\ji...) got off the phone with him. I contacted the commissioner and told him. 'This guy means what he's saying.' I believe in him and, you know, I don't want to get caught in a con game. Pete's a beaten man ." Rose agreed to accept a lifetime ban in 1989 and applied for reinstatement in 1997. Last year at this time, Schmidt was predicting that commissioner Bud Selig would make a decision on Rose's application before the stan of the 2003 season. "He still seems to be dragging hi s feet on that one," Schmidt 'aid. "He must have a good reason for it." Schmidt will coach 20- and 21-year-old prospects this year as · manager of the Clearwater Threshers, the Philadelphia Phillies' Class A farm team in the Florida State League. It is Schmidt's ftrst full-time job in baseball since he retired in f989. Bonds insists he will block otq all the distractions SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -A winter without his father beside him in the batting cage weighed more heavily on Barry Bonds' mind this offseason than his connection to a . lab at the center of an alleged steroid ring. "It's . been difficult ' " the slugger said Monday, sitting in tile dugout at soggy Scottsdale Stadium. "Just hard !Ill the way around. I broke down a couple times in the batting cage just due to the fact he wasn't with ine. He's been my coach my whole life." . Bonds was surrounded by reporters on his lirst day at spring trairling, and he was ii~ed repeatedly about his ties tit the supplements lab accused of illegally distributing steroids to dozens of athletes. the six-time National League MVP, who appeared in December before a grand jury grobing the lab, had repeatedly denied using steroids. : ''They can test me every day if they choose to," said Bonds, l!Ulo is right around his 228Q.Ound playing weight. :";After last season, Bonds seri9ysly considered walking away fr!>m baseball for good, unable to imagine playing without his dad. Bobby, who had been ill for nearly a year with lung canCer and a brain tunior, died in August at age 57. , :But the Giants slugger pushed on, at the urging of his )hother, his wife and godfather Willie Mays. The Daily Sentinel• Page 86. ~.mydailysentinel.com : Tuesday, February 24. 2004 "I couldn't hit. I didn't want to go in ·the cage. I didn't want to swing the bat," Bonds said. "I really didn't want any part of it for·a while." Now; another important member of Bonds' supporting cast, trainer ·Greg Anderson, won't be around. Anderson was absent Monday when Bonds showed up for camp a day ahead of the voluntary repurting date for position players. Anderson, often seen with Bonds at spring training and during the season, was among four men charged this month in an alleged steroid-distribution ring that federal prosecutors say supplied professional ath letes with banned substances. All the men have pleaded innocent and no athletes have been charged. "I feel bad for him," said Bonds. who turns 40 this summer. "I feel sad. We grew up together. We' re friends. It's .unfortunate what he's having to go through." About BALCO, the -Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative that's at the center of the federal steroids case, Bonds said: "There's nothing I can do about it right now. I have to go out and play baseball and, hopefully, it will blow over.... "I believe if l wasn't going for records, it would be a nullified situation," said Bonds, who is two home runs shy of tying Mays for third on the career list with '660. "If you want to be at the top, you've got to have broad shou lders. ... I know who I am. I know what I stand for. I know what kind of ballplayer I am." Bonds spe nt two stints on the bereavement list in 2003 and, despite all he w;1s dealing with, still batted .34 1 with 45 homers and 90 RB Is. Wi;\en asked if he can pass Hanll' Aaron's record of 755 homers, Bonds ' quickly answered: "I think I can do anything .... I'm going for it all." · Mays spent three days a week with Bonds the entire offseason. working with him on his swing while also monitoring Bonds' mental frame of mind. "I'm focused now, and ready," Bonds said. · He admitted, with a smile, that he wants to pass Mays on the homers li s.t as soon as possible. He ju ~,t wishes hi s father could be 'there to see it. While the Giants have indi, cated they will be better about enforcing a two-year-old directive by the commis~ion­ er's office that limits who can enter the clubhouse, Bonds thinks his other trainer, Harvey Shields, will still be around. Shields stretches out Bonds before games. "I believe Harvey will always be with me," Bonds said. "That's stretching. I have to get ready for games. People have to realize our body is our machine. " 1 According to documents released last week, Anderson told federal agents he gave steroids to several professional baseball players. It was unclear whether Anderson provided specific names to the agents. Manager Felipe Alou is convinced · Bonds will deal with everything just fine. "He lost his father and he still won the MVP," Alou said. "Barry Bonds is a baseball player, maybe one of the best baseball players that ever lived. To be a baseball player of that caliber, you have to be the complete package." In nearby Mesa on Monday, Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker, formerly the Giants' skipper, defended Bonds. "The only thought I have is that a man's innocent until he's proven guilty," Baker said. Bonds seems to have a knack for blocking out the distractions. "Regardless of what my problems are or what situations are at hand, they're still going to be there anyway," he said. "Baseball has been more of a stress release than anything else. "Basebal l has been time away from everything. It's my stage. It's something that I enjoy to do. I ~njoy to do it for the fans, I enjoy to do it for the game of baseball and myself. I just really enjoy being on stage." Jackets holding his arm as he left. San Jose took 50 shots in a 2~ l victory at Columbus nine days earlier, but this one was much more competitive. The Blue Jackets cut the lead to 3-2 on Eriksson's goal midway through the third period before Cheechoo •s second goal. Weak defense is the biggest culprit . in Columbus' road woes. The LeBron from Page 81 thought we would come back," said Kapono, who went 5-for-5 on 3-pointers after not playing in Sunday's win at New York Only once before had the Hornets blown a 25-point lead. They also did 11 on March I, · 1996, at Minnesota. The Cavaliers were down 49-24 with 6:34 lefi in the second quarter, but trimmed it to 14 by halftime and four by the end of the thiJd before ftnally taking the lead at 83-82 on Mcinni s' short jumper with 7:42 to play. But as has been the case · with most of their games this season, this one went to the final horn as Baron Davis hit a 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left to get the Hornets to 102-100. However, Boozer made two free throws with 5.1 seconds left, and with the lead seemingly safe, Silas · raised his right fist in the air to celebrate a win over the team that fired him after last season. Davis led the Hornets with 34 points and Jamal Mashburn had 23, but after a strong stan, the two stars struggled from the field. They opened a combined 13-for-13 froni the floor but went 7 -for-32 the rest of the way. "They just kept on play; , ing," Mashburn said. "They k,ept attacking and we didn't. That's the bottom line." Kapono sparked the Cavs comeback, draining al) his 3-pointers and adding ftve rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes. The second-round draft pick from UCLA had Blue Jackets allowed 34 goals during the ftrst 10 games of the winless skid, and they repeatedly left the Sharks untouched ·on their passes and shots. Leclaire stopped -34 shots in the second NHL appearance for the Blue Jackets' 2001 first-round draft pick. Sturm extended his points streak ,to five games with a backhand power-play goal late in the first period. He has six goals and ftve assists in the Sharks' nine February games. played just 19 minutes in his previous five games . ''I'm not the most talented guy in. here,," he said looking around the Cavs' locker room. " I'm probably No. 14 on the roster, but I can play a little." Mcinnis was also huge, scoring nine points in a crucial stretch of the final peri. od when the Hornets and Cavs were trading baskets. Before re-entering the game with 8:24 left and the Cavs within one, Mcinnis pounded his hand ' on the scorer's table and yelled, "Ii's crunch time!" He promptly hit his I Qfooter to give the Cavs their ftrst lead. "I knew it was time to be aggressive," he said. "I . wanted to go for it." · · Elias said it was the ftrst time in Cavs history they won after trailing by 21 at the end of the ftrst quarter. They had been 0-9 in such games. Twice trailing by 25 in the second, the Cavs chipped away and got two 3-pointers from Kapono, two baskets by James and a . 3 from Mcinnis to get to 5945 at halftime. Davis and Mashburn were perfect in the first quarter, scoring 14 points apiece with each going 6for-6 from the fteld as the Hornets bolted to a 37-16 lead after one. Davis made a pair of 3pointers as New Orleans shot 79 percent (15-of-19) from the floor in the period. The Cavaliers couldn't do anything to stop the Hornets, who seemed to make everything they threw (jp. Mashburn capped the 12-0 run with a fadeaway 117-footer he shot off one foot. 0 Ll • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ,,, (I \ I'> • \ ol. } I \., . 1:.!:1 SPORTS • ESPN plans movie on Peter R~.

"Fat Tuesday" - as well. Members of St. Paul Lutheran Church served pancakes and sausage 'to the public in obser· vance of the day. According to the Rev. William Middleswarth, the retired pastor of the church in Pomeroy, the day was first observed as the day to eliminate the fat, lard and shortening from the Christian household in preparation for the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Now, the observance is a prelude to the holy Wednesday observance, and a means for fellow· ship.
