' Edwards slowly trucking way to NASCAR stardom By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week The winner' of the Craft sman Truck Series' opening race is one of the nicest young men you'll ever be fortunate enough to meet. Carl Edwards, a 24-year-old from Columbia, Mo., won the Feb. 13 Florida Dodge Dealers 250 under the · lights at Daytona International Speedway. He won three times as a rookie a year ago. "I was going through my mind thinking (about) all the people who were probably back there in Missouri, screaming and jumping up and do wn in their living rooms watching the Speed Channel," Edwards said . "It's very amazing. I'm very, very fortunate." Edwards has his own distinctive means of celebrating. After winning, he typically climbs out of his Ford F· ISO and does a back flip. The youth· ful exuberance aside, Edwards does feel as if he's matured into a con· tender for the Truck Series title. "Last year, I had this thing in my head screaming, 'Do not let anyone pass you.' I was going to do anything I could not to let them pa,ss me," Ed· · wards said. "I think I actually let one or two people pass me (in the Day· tona race). "But that's the thing, just getting that experience, that year of racing under my belt in the Craftsman Truck Series, it really helped to maybe not make some mistakes that I would have made last year." The owner of Edwards' No. 99. Ford, Jack Roush , announced that Edwards will likely one day replace Mark Martin with Roush's Nextel Cup team. "I hope we can get Mark to keep going in the number 6 car until we get Carl a championship in the Truck Series, then a chance to run for a championship in the Busch Se· ries," Roush said. "I'd like three years, then I think he'll be in the '6' car. Edwards said the move to Martin's car would be "an honor." "It just motivates me to work harder every day to be the best driver I can be so that, when we do come up with a marketing partner to run in the Nextel Cup Series ... the emotional part of me just can't believe it," Edwards said. ,. .; ,' Valley ca study Washington Works operation. including the supplies ot the Tuppers PlainsTUPPERS PLAJNS An Chester Water Distri ct. and · $841 ,000 grant from- the the vil lages of Pomeroy and National Institu tes of Health · Syracuse in Me igs County. will pay for testing of 1-e,idents · The class-action lawsuit. in the region for a chemical expected 10 go to trial in detected in local water supplies.

L.M NG Mourners pay last respects to former Reds owner, Bl Chtp Ganassi and Felix Sabates , owners of Jamie McMurray 's Dodge, rema in conv inced that McMurray should have been a lap ahead of the field after Matt Kenseth and ·Kasey Kahne were in the pits when a late crash occorred during the Feb 22 Subway 400 at North Caroli na Speedway. Kenseth and Kahne were running 1-2 when th ey pitted on the 351st lap . They we re on pit road when a crash occurred on the back straight. Third-place finrsher McMurray hadn 't pitted, and there we re those - McMurray 's owners an d pit crew membe'rs among them - wh o thought their dr~ver s~ou ld have been a lap ahead as a res ult of the leaders· misfor tune. A considerable delaY occurred while NASCAR officia ls care(ully considered the facts. At first they put Ken seth on the lead lap but not Kahne. Eventual ly. they reconsidered and Instructed Kahne to pass the pace ca r and drive around to the back of the lead lap along with Kenseth . When the pit s were finally opened. al l the others, McMurray among them, pitted, and Kenseth and Kahne, und;r,_caution, returned to the head of ~fir pack. "lthoug~t they would have been a lap down or at least at the back of the lead -l ap cars ," McMurray said. "I 'm a little confused there." NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his take: "In one sense, they have an argument, becaus'e other drivers lost laps under similar circumstances. The defense lies in t he fact that positions are 'frozen ' at the point the yellow flag waves. This. of course, does constitute a judgment call because there is no way, officials say, to be completely sure. Howeve r, if one accepts the notion that Kenseth and Kahne did not lose a lap, noth ing else that happened was objectionable. • "The two were at the. end oft he lead-lap cars but had already pitted, obviou sly, so when everyone else pit· ted under yellow. Kenseth and Kahne moved bac k t o the first two spots."

There was a public outcry,' Pepsi folded, Ludacris was sacked. Now, . incredibly, Anheuser-Busch has done the same thing. 'The company will pay this guy Ludacris big bucks to push beer. My basic objection to this is simple: Some American corporations are rewarding bad behavior in pursuit of more profit. Ludacris puts out rap that celebrates criminal ac tivity (such as selling narcotics), general debauchery and violence against women . There is no question about that. Does AnheuserBusch believe that kind of exposition is g,Ood for tile USA? Does the company realize that millions of children, many of them unsu)Jervised, digest the garbage Ludacri s puts out? Does the company care? Lest you think Ludacris is some kind of Ozzy Osborne, here are some of his lyrics: Sunday, March 7, 2004 This Buds not for me Bill O'Reilly "I got my twin glock .40's cocked back. Me and my homies, so drop that. My shotguns are cold and hard ... My triggers are always talking about some squeeze me, squeeze me. Hollow bullets I pull it, I'm about to live in vain. And then I drill 'em, refill 'em, make sure they feel the pain." Talk to most educators in poor neighborhoods and they will tell you that the debasement of our culture, of which gangsta rap is a big part, has coarsened children tn general and put high-risk kids in a dangerous place. Taking drugs, carrying guns and disrespecflng hum an beings is now not only socially acceptable in many situations, it is downright glamorous . Anheuser-Busch has a gleaming headquarters in St. Louis. It is a place of wealth and power. But a few miles east across the Mississippi lies East St. Louis, a devastated city where drug gangs rule entire neighborhoods. Children as young as I 0 work as lookouts for these gangs; 13-year-olds sell heroin and crack cocaine on the streets. Violence is as common as a garbage pickup. Ludacris sells big in East St. Louis and other dangerous neighborhoods across the country. His rap is something these criminal kids can identify with. He understands and encourages the "life." Isn ' t it . time Americans demand corporations stop polluting the country'7 Whether it's dumping PCBs in waterways or promoting degenerate COs, corporate chieftains should be held responsible by consumers. Hiring a person like Ludacris to push beer is reP.rehensible to me, and so I wtll exercise my right not to do business with AnheuserBusch, which, by the way, owns a series of family theme parks across the country. On his latest CD, 'ol Ludacris has a rap song called "Hoes In My Room." It's a harsh diatribe about, well, women the man does not respect but who somehow inhabit his "space." The last few lines go like this: "Then it got to my head, and somethin ' reminded me I know who let 'em in, it was Bill O'Reilly- faggot." So add a gay slur to the list of crudities Ludacris embraces as he gleefully dances down the road to millionaire statu s. AnheuserBusch should be very proud to be in business with a guy like this. Veteran TV news anchor Bill O'Reilly is liosr of the Fox News show "The 0 'Reilly Factor" and author of the new book "Who's Looking Out For You?" Patrol advoaztes safe driving skills A driver license provides a sense of independence and con- venience for drivers of all ages. This freedom is particularly important to mature drivers who view losing their license as a loss of personal freedom. . Mature drivers can help ensure this freedom is not lost by evaluating their driving skills in order to ensure their safety and the safety of others on our roads. Mature drivers are continuously becoming a larger percentage of the driving population, but the percentage of mature drivers involved in .traffic crashes is increasing at a much higher rate. Crashes involving drivers age 55 and older rank only behind 1620 year-old drivers as the largest percentage by age group in.volved in crashes in Ohio. In 2000, drivers age 55 and older were involved in nearly 85,000 motor vehicle crashes in Ohio. Age should not be used to measure an individual's driving skills. However, age does bring with it mental and physical changes that may have a negative effect on driving skills. It is important to acknowledge the safety problems associated with driving as you age. Vision, strength, flexibility, and overall · health are important factors that effect driving skills. Unfortunately, these can deteriorate with age. The driving errors often committed by mature drivers reflect these changes and include failure to yield, wide turns, and improper backing. This is not to say that mature drivers are unsafe drivers. Research indicates mature drivers rank lower in aggressive actions including speeding, following too closely, and impaired driving. However, mature drivers rank higber in comprehension errors such as confusion in congested situations and misunderstanding of signs. Mature drivers can remain safe drivers by making a few simple adjustments to their driving behavior. Many mature · drivers make the necessary safety adjustments in their driving behavior based on their own experiences and skill. The Patrol urges all mature drivers to be more aware of safety, be honest about driving skills, and adjust driving practices accordingly. .The following are tips to help mature drivers stay safe: :• Have your eyes examined and always wear prescription lenses. • Wear a safety belt and be sure it is adjusted properly. • Be aware of the suiTOunding cars on the roadways, and maintain a safe distance between your car.and the car in front of you. • Ensure your vehicle's mirrors are properly adjusted. • Drive the speed ·limit, and stay in the right lane whenever possible. Do not drive too slowly because this can be just as unsafe as speeding. · • Drive during non-rush hours whenever possible, and try to stay on familiar roads. • Do not feel pressured into making a tum or passing until you are sure you can do so safely. :• If you are taking medicine, even non-prescription, ask your doctor or pharmacist if it could affect your driving. In addition, mature drivers must keep the safety of their passengers in mind. When transporting young children, be sure the child is restrained in the proper child safety seat. Everyone in tqe vehicle should wear a safety belt. Safety belts can prevent serious injuries and even death, keeping occupants from being ejected from the vehicle in the event of a crash. Annually the Gallipolis Post in conjunction with AARP host a Mature Driving Class. The class will be held again this year. This class offers tips and other valuable information for those 55 or older. I hope mature drivers will take the time to evaluate their driving skills and make any necessary changes. It's about safety' J-t.

In 2003, the health department 's environmental health division inve stigated 52 reported animal bite cases. No positive cases of animal rabies were reponed in 2003 for Gallia County. Statewide, Ohio had 53 cases of animal rabies· in 2002. The majority of those cases were bats. The investigation of ani mal bite cases is a critical roll in the surveillance and control of the Rabies virus. Rabies is a fatal disease, which affects the central nervous system in mammals and humans, and has no cure once symptoms develop. Rabies is transmitted via the saliva during a bite that breaks the skin or co ntact with mucous membranes, or contact with blood from an infected animal. Not all animals can carry rabies. Reptiles , birds, fi sh. and small rodents are not known carriers of rabies. However, most fur bearing mammals and huf1Jans have been identified as hosts and transmitters of the disease. Usually the first indication an ani mal may have rabies is a change in behavior - they may become aggressive or just the opposite, very lethargic - followed by repeated behavior such as walking in circles or snapping of the jaws. The animals lose the ability to swallow so they are unable to eat or drink and often drool. Usually within a week to ten day s after infection, a dog or cat will exhibit partial paraly sis or coma prior to death. The di sease is easily prevented through proper vac- cination of all pets. Precautions to take to protect your family and pets: • Keep your pet current on its rabies vaccinations by regular check ups with your veterinarian, rabies vaccinations are availab le for dogs, cats, ferrets, and horses. • Keep your pet on a leash or in a secure fence when out doors . • Do not over feed your pet that would result in left over food that would attract other animals. • Do not let young children hit or pull on an animal , do not let children bother the animal while eatmg. • Teach children to keep away from stray or wild animals. • If bat s are see n in your neighborhood make sure all window and doors are scree ned. Plug or screen any other small hole or ope ning along roofs, attics. and chimneys. Procedures to take when bitten by an animal: • Immediately wash the wound with warm soap and water. • Try to capture or confine the animal, or ask for help from family or neighbors to help locate and confine the animal if it can be done safely without risk of injury to others. • Immediately consult your doctor for medical treatment • Contact the owner of the dog or cal if known , to make them aware of the bite and request they confine the animal unti l investigation by local authorities • Contact the health department to report the bite. (740) 441 -2018 • Contact the Gallia County Dog Warden if the dog is a stray or running at large. (740) 441-0207 • If the animal is dangerous or wild, and cannot be captured for quarantine, and the only alternative is to put the animal down, avoid any trauma to the animal 's head . The health department will need to collect the head and brain tissue for rabies testing at the Ohio Department of Health Laboratory in Columbus. • Use gloves and heavyduty plastic bags when collecting a dead animal suspected of carrying rabies, and keep the carcass in a cold dry place until the health department can pick up the animal. Do not place the carcass in a freezer, nor allow the carcass to freeze outside during winter. In the event an animal bites you, and the animal cannot be recovered or testing reveals the animal was positive for rabies; there is an effective post exposure vaccine. The modern rabies post exposure vaccination s are a series of 5 vaccinations over a period of 28 days , usually administered in the hip. The first vaccination also includes , Rabie s Immune Globulin. which gives immediate protection. The health department, in association with the local veterinarians, will offer rabies vaccination clinics three times during 2004. These clinics provide a low cost rabies vaccination to dogs and cats of Gallia County residents . The dale and locations of these clinic will be advertised two weeks in advance, with the first clinic targeted for late April, or early May. For further information on Rabies and what to do if bitten by an animal please contact the Gallia County Health Department at (740) 4412018. Routines Sign up at Racine refundable concession fee.

This usually happen when you leave your company to change jobs or start your own business, or if the company terminates its plan. · Receiving a distribution from a 401 (k) plan can be exciting almost like winning the lottery. The dilemma comes when you have to decide what to do with it. Save it or spend it? Since money in retirement savings plans is earmarked for retirement, it is granted certain ta:x advantages by the IRS . However, if the money is taken out prior to age 59 112, specific ta:x penalties usually apply. Consequently, it is wise to revrew all of )'Our options before malting a decision about what to do with a distribution from a 40 I(k) plan. . If you are about to receive a distnbullon from yollr 40 I(k) plan, you can do one of three things: • You may ask for a check in the amount of the distribution. If you elect to receive the distribution in cash, however, tl1e IRS requires your emfloyer to withhold 20 percent o the amount as part of your income ta:x due on the money. This means, for example, that if your 40 I (k) balance ts $20,(X:XJ, you will receive a check for $16.00l. Then, you must pay the balance of income tax currently due on the distribution at your ordinary income tax rate. In addition, if you are under age 59 112, a I0 percent early withdmwal penalty may upply. As in the example, your check for $16,000 would reduce to about $12,400 if you are in the 28 percent tax bmcket mxl under age 591/2. • You may have your 40 I (k) a<;sets rolled direaly to an IRA account or your new employer's plan, and not pay any ta:xes unti I you withdraw the money at retirement. In our ex;unple, the full $20,00) lump swn would roll into an IRA and continue to grow tax-deferred. Unfortunately, about 70 percent of people receiving lump sum distributions do not roll them overto an IRA account. By not putting aside this money for their future, they not only lose a large portion of the monyy availabfe to them, they are reducing their chances for a financially secure retirement and losing out on an opportunity to accumulate funds tax -deferred - which experts agree is the best way to save for retirement. • You may also leave your money in your old 40 I(k) plan, which would continue tax defermi. If your account is worth at least $5,00l, your old employer will allow you to leave your assets in the plan. Many people find this convenient. however, the downside is that you typically give up some control of yam ' investment choices since you are ;;:a 'oti Skiing with gravity " a gargoyle.

Helen Rader Helen Nease DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Todd," and I have been happily married for four years and together for six. We have a daughter (mine from a former marriage) and a beautiful little boy together. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Todd loves both children equally. Despite some tough financial times over the past two years, we are a happy family. Our problem? Todd's mother. She's a negative, bitter woman who insists she "can't possibly" show our daughter the same love she shows our son. She sends affectionate notes to our son, none to our daughter. She shops at discount stores for our daughter and only the best shops for our son. She sent our son a beautiful handmade toy and our daughter a pencil - yes, a pencil! Please understand this isn't about · gifts or the amount she spends. It's about the obvious disparity. Even worse, she's always saying that Todd couldn 't possibly love our daughter the way he does our son. Need I tell you the damage this has already done to our daughter? · We are at our wit's end. Todd is ready to just walk away from ' his mother. I know we can't change the way she feels, but are we wrong to insist that she not show it so openly to our daughter? Help. Please. READY TO WALKAWAY DEAR READY: You are Dear Abby not wrong. What you have described is emotional abuse on the part of your motherin-law. Her blatant favoritism is heartless, deliberate and harmfu'J to your children's relationship with each other- not to mention damaging yo ur daughter 's self-esteem. If she fails to comply, you are also justi· fied in limiting or restricting her contact with them. DEAR ABBY: My mother passed away two years ago and I still have many of her things. I'm afraid that she' ll think I don' I love her or respect her belongings if I don't keep everything. My question is, do you think she '11 understand that 1 don 't have a lot of space in my house? Do you have any ideas about where I could put her things? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. - WITHOUT MOM IN WASHINGTON DEAR WITHOUT: Your mother left her things to yo u because she wanted you to · enjoy them.

James hit a momentum-swinging 3:pointer with I :22 left Friday night, giv. ing the Cavaliers the lead for good in an 88-85 victory. "It's one of the biggest shots I've made," James said. " It was clutch. We were down by two (83-81 ), and I just shot it with confidence." James finished with a team-high 19 points, and Boozer had 18, including .two free throws with 6 seconds left to . provide the final margin. Jamal Mashburn, who made both a . tying and winning 3-pointer in the Hornets' victory Wednesday night, had a chance to do it again. But this time his .long-range fadeaway bounced off the ·rim. New Orleans coach Tim Floyd said he wanted Baron Davis , who had a game-high 26 points with four 3-pointers, to get the ball on the final play. But Cleveland switched its defense to put Boozer on Davis, so Mas hburn ended up with the shot Cleveland (26-36) has won · two straight and is even with Miami and Toronto in a three-way fight for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. New Orleans (33-29) , which has fallen to the fifth spot , lost for the 14th time against a team with a losing record. "I don' t know what to say. We ju st lost," guard David Wesley said . " I don 't have an explanation." Eric Williams had 15 points and II rebounds for Cleveland, including a crucial straightaway j urn per with 49 seconds left for ·an 86-83 lead. Hornets re serve forward David West, sent into the game when Jamaal Magloire fouled out with just over four minutes to play, put back a rebound to make it 86-85 with seven seconds left , setting up the final sequence. Tony Battie added 12 point s for the Cavaliers, and Jeff Mcinnis had II assi sts. Mashburn finished with 21 points and I0 rebounds but missed 15 of 21 shots from the field. Magloire had 13 points before fouling out New Orleans was looking to avenge a 104-100 loss to the Cavaliers on Feb. 23 in which it blew a . 25 -point lead. Instead, Cleveland coach Paul Silas, fired by the Hornets after last season, beat New Orleans for the third time in four games. "It feels great, really," Silas said. "It's like when you 're traded away from a team as a player you want to come back and beat them. " His team did it by getting 19 offensi.ve rebounds for 24 second-chance points in front of New Orleans ' fourth sellout crowd of the season . "It was a playoff atmosphere tonight and we were able to come through," James said. "Every win we can get is a key for us."

One day after the San Francisco 49ers sent the fourtime Pro Bowl ~eceiver to the Ravens, Owens said he's not happy with the deal and plans to file a ~rievance . "This 1s about me getting a fair shot at a team that I want to go to. Baltimore is definitely one of my choices, but Philly was my ' A' choice, my prionty on my list," Owens said in an interview on ESPN late Friday night. "I talked to my agent earlier and we' re goin~ to file a grievance for the Situation and we're going to hope for the best possible situauon." Desperate for a No. I receiver, the Eagles reportedly agreed to a contract witli Owens that included a signing bonus believed to be worth about $10 million. But the volatile receiver was traded to the Ravens for a secondround pick Thursday before Philadelphia could work out a trade with the 49ers . San Francisco general manager Terry Donahue said Eagles coach Andy Reid offered a fifth~ round pick and wide receiver James Thrash for Owens. "We had no interest in that whatsoever," Donahue said. Donahue said he countered with a list of other players he' d want for Owens, but the teams couldn ' t agree on a deal. "I told Andy we were going to move really quick and that we had a second-round pick and that if he had any further interest to call me back," Donahue said. The Eagles wouldn't comment Friday. Owens' agent, David Joseph, dido 't return phone calls from The Associated Press. Chad Steele, a spokesman for the Ravens, said Saturday: "We have a valid contract with Terrell and we expect him to play for the Ravens." He declined to answer any other questions. Owens failed to become a free agent this week when he est totals si nce 1999. He has been selected to the last fo ur Pro Bowls whi le fe uding with teammates, coaches, the 49ers' front office and the media. Owens is due to make $ 17.7 million in base salary over the next three seasons, including $5.3 millio n next year - a re lative bargain for one of the NFL's best receivers. The Eagles had perhaps the leag ue's worst start ing receivers, Thrash and Todd Pinkston. The duo combined for just 85 catches and three TD s last season. In Philadelphia's 14-3 loss to Carolina in the NFC championship game, Thrash had one catch and Pinkston had none.

Woody's acquisition was the second in 12 hours for the Lions, who Thursday night acquired Jacksonville comer· back Fernando Bryant. But Detroit is in a different position than New England, trying to upgrade its roster after going 10:38 the past three seasons.

On Friday night, the New York Giants took a major step toward solving their defensive woes, signing strongside line· backer Carlos Emmons and tackle Fred Robbins. Emmons was the defensive MVP last season for New York's NFC East rival Philadelphia. Robbins, also an unrestricted 'free agent, is a run stopper from Minnesota and second-round draft pick of the Vikings in 2000. But overall . it was quieter Friday than in the first two days of free agency, primarily because Washington finally slowed down after spc:nding nearly $50 million of Daniel Snyder's money in bonuses alone. The Redskins were ecstatic about the players they picked ur., although big spendin~ hasn t worked for Snyder m the past and there are questions about several of their ·acquisilions: aging quarterback Mark Brunell, underachieving defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin and injurx-prone cornerback Shawn Spnngs. Their last acquisition former Indianapolis linebacker' Marcus Washington, got a $7 million signing bonus. He replaces Jessie Armstead, who was released last week. Armstead agreed to terms Friday with Carolina and coach John Fox, the defensive coordinator for the Giants when the 33-year-old linebacker was in his prime in the late '90s. "He could have signed elsewhere for more money and there were quite a few offers, but he has a strong relationship with coach Fox and is comfortable playing for him," said Armstead' s agent, Jason Rosenhaus. Winfield, who spent his tirst five seasons in Buffalo, (!,Ot a six-year deal for $35 mtllion from the Vikings with a $10.8 million signing bonus. He had tentatively agreed to sign with .the Jets on Thursday mght for $30 million with a $10 million bonus. In other developments Friday: • The NFL released a final list of underclassmen who have applied for the April 24 draft following the ruling that made Maurice Clarett eligible. It included six high school players and one from junior college, but NFL officials said only Clarett and Southern California wide receiver Mike Williams are expected to be drafted. • Talks between Tampa Bay and Joey Galloway have hit a dead end, forcing the Cowboys to co111e up with a Plan B in their bid to acquire Keyshawn Johnson. The proposed swap of receivers was continge nt on both players renegotiatmg their contracts.

Clinic Dates: May 21, July 30 \4-d1'~ntage Healthcare 'nh1,inn Ma',ai Seminar on .d Recovery •· Replacement ,19, 2004, 1 pm •1 Fatima Church Huntington BY MIKE HARRIS Associated Press LA S VEGA S, Nev. NASC AR ' s atte mpt to make rac ing be tte r on its intermediate tracks ge ts its fi rst real tes t Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The UAW-DaimlerChry sler 400 is . the third race of th e season, but the fir st in which the combination of a lower rear spoil er and softer tires is expec ted to have a • · meaningful impact. "The performan ce of the tires has always fallen off at Vegas, but the new tire is fa lling off a little bit more, obviou sly," Tony Stewart said. " It 's what a lot of us drivers have wanted for a long time because the fu el mileage and trac k position games we saw played last year have been taken out of the equation thi s year." That 's exactly what NASCAR had in mind when it cut three-quarters of an inch from the rear spoilers to reduce downforce, making the cars harder to drive in the corners. It al so forc es Goodyear to bring softer tires to the track s. "We ' re trying to get our arm s around the downforce and aerodynamics of the race cars," Nextel Cup director John Darhy said. " I think we're going in the ri ght direction, if the test out here is any indication·." Stewart was one of more than 50 Nextel Cup and Busch series drivers who tested in January on I 1/2-mile oval. The season-opening Daytona 500 was a restrictor-plate race, where the rear spoiler height was actually increased a half-inch from last year in an effort to c urb speeds at one of NASCAR ' s fastest race tracks. The tire Goodyear brought to Daytona was actually a little harder than last year. And , two weeks ago on the 1.017-mile oval at Rockin g ham, the tire was virtwilly the same compound used there las t November, and the abrasive track at The Rock has alway s been hard on tires anyway. It's the tracks such as Las Vegas - the I l/2- and 2-mile ovals that make up more than one-third of the 36-race C up schedule - where the changes are ex pected to be most noti ceable. "I think it 's a -g reat idea," Stewart said. "Now we have to budge t our tires. We can' t go out there and just run fl at o ut the whole time, and with th at comes a lo t more passing . "Guys wh o get in too big of a hurry and go out and abuse thei r tire s earl y in a run will get passed by g uy s at the end of a run becau se they ' re more pati ent." In the last few season s, harder tires and big spoilers made the cars "aero dependent," a te rm de scribing handling characteristics cars e xperienced in traffic that made passing diffi c ult. . That situation promoted strategies such as takin g two tires or no tire s on pit stops to gain track position , or simply trying to make your gas last longer than the other guy 's to gain an advantage. Stewart, the 2002 Cup champion, said the latest change s should make a difference . "When it was like that a few years ago, you saw a lot more passing and the racing just seemed to be better all around," he said. '' By taking some downforce away from us and giving us some softer tires , it's given us a combination that 's allowed us to race ." Four-time Cup cha mpion Jeff Gordon, a former Las Ve.gas winner, is also happy with the changes . "The new tires will benefit the teams with good communication." Gordon said . ''I believe we' re one of those teams . 'The track grooves are beginning to open up here , so we should be able to run low or up a couple of grooves once the tires begin to fall off. The key will be communicatinr, exactly what the car is doing to your crew. ' Jimmie Johnson , one of Gordon's Hendrick Motorsport s teammates, said the January test indicated that NASCAR has accompli shed what it set out to do. "I think they've reached that goal," Johnson said. "It's going to make the race in Las Vegas a lot different from what we've seen here in the past."

Of course there are other questions about concealed carry that I will address in later columns. Concealed carry opens up a lot of questions for Ohioans, such as: "What kind of gun should l carry'.'

"The thing that sets Creek Chub lures apart is the craftsmanship that went into them," he says. "Up until 1962 all theilj lures had handset glass eyes, and the paint jobs had up to 18 layers of paint." The cedar blanks were milled in a factory near Creek Chub's Garrett, Ind., assembly center. Employees at the assembly center - mostly farm wives trying to earn a lit· tle extra income - trans· formed the blanks into finished lures . "In 1940, those lures sold for $1.50 to $1.75 apiece," Lanham says . "That doesn't sound expensive by today's standards, but that was prett~ darned expensive back then.' Several manufacturers produced similar products. Lanham says he could have started collecting lures made by Heddon, Ptlueger and other compani es, but the Creek Chub lures' price and avail ability better tit his budget. "I call them the 'poor man's collectible,' he said. "The company sold more than 80 million lures during its heyday, and se veral mi llion of those seem to be left ... Lanham believes the craftsmanship that bec;nne the lures' hallmark earned them honored places in ann lers' tackle boxes and helped mil lions of them to surv ive to this day. "If you run into an oldtimer who owns a big tackle box, chances are he has one or two of these th in g~; stowed away in a spec ial place," Lanham says. " I think that some people, after they spent the money to buy a Creek Chub, si mply couldn' t bring themselves to fish with DAWSON CINCINNATI Jeff Wagner uses the same meticulous attention to detail in hi s new career as his old one.

SPECIAL TO THE TIME5-SENTINEL Hadjustice been done, the man ·who would have headed up the great engineering feat of building the Panama Canal would not have been ~ Washington Goethals, but Gallia County's own Oberlin Carter. The latter was reru:l!d near Patriot. In fact, when in June 1897, Pres. Williwm McKinley ajlpointed the first Isthmian Canal Commission it was Capt. Oberlin Carter who served wJd not Goethals. The two other members of the commission were Adm. John Walker and Lewis Haupt. Oberline Carter, at that time, was the most talented member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was fully expected that the ranking Corps of Engineers representative would be the person chosen for the job of building the canal. The Commission's first job was to detennine whether the canal should go through Panama or through Nicaragua. Carter pushed P-anarl)a and that may have been the'beginning of his problem. New York's powerful U.S. Senator Warner Miller favored Nicaragua. Coincidentally, Miller was also head of a clandestine corpomtion called the Maritime Canal Co. of Nicaragua. Miller and his cronies would have reaped a big windfalJ of profits had the canal wenl through Nicaragua. It seems he had gained some allies within the Army itself who also would benefit economically from the canal going through Nicaragua. The thing that brought Carter down was a project he had done in Savannah Harbor, Ga. Beginning in 1884, Carter had been assigned to ligure out a way to keep the channel clear in the harbor. It was an age-old problem caused by the Savannah Ri ver bringmg silt into the sea lane. Savannah's main shipping port is about 20 miles inlw1d from the ocew1. In 1891 , Carter had invented a way to avoid repeated dredging in the sea lane. He stmtegically placed structures in the harbor, which would constrict and regulate the velocity of the river's daily ebb and flow. He directed the installation of jetties, brush mattress dikes, and retaining walls necessary to attain 'the remedy. · By early 1897, the project was complete and people came from all over the worfd to study its · design. Carter's project had come in at only $3.5 million, way under budget. Carter then left Savannah and went to work on the canal project. · In late 1897. Carter"s successor at Savannah started an investigation into the project. Some say it was done out of jealousy against Carter. Some say it was a way to make Carter take the fall for conuption that at the time was runmng through parts of the U.S. Army. Rumors circulated that Carter had acquired large sums of money while at Savannah, thus indicating payoffs to him from conlractors. The claim was made th;lt these contractors had used shoddy workmanship on the project, thus pocketing the difference. The rumor also circulated that Carter, who graduated in 1880 at the head of his West Poin\ class receivi ng one of the hfghest scores in the history of the academy, should never have been allowed in the school in the lirst pi:K.-e. Carter's little finger wa~ oft' at the lirst joint. which made it difticult lor him to reign up his horse. In 1880, horsemanship w<t~ w1 important skill tor cadets. CW'ter wa~ coun martialed, but wa~ never allowed to see the evidence the Army has against him nor was his attorney allowed to cross-examine witnesses against Carter. Some newspap:rs relerred to Carter as the 'American Dryfus." McKinley upheld the court mar- · tial even though there was evidence to suggest that the president knew the facts suggested other culprits were guilty Wld not Carter. Carter served live years at Leavenworth Prison and then spent the rest of his life tryin~ to clear his nwme. It cwme to light about 1930 that some of the persons who served on the courtmartial panel had been told by high rJnking Army officials to convict O uter regardless of the evidence. In 1936, Sen. Duffy tried to get access to the intormation surrounding the Carter ca>e but he was stonewalled by the Army. O uter said near the end of his life (he lived into his 80's), the Army "ha~ blocked a rehearing of Ius ca-;e because they are afraid of the Army scandals that will be started when I am proven innocent." The wealth Carter had accumulated, by the way, cwme from his father-in-law Mr. Westcott, a business partner with the Vanderbilts. Mutual funds can be a good choice for many long-term individual investors as they offer diversification, which is key to successful investing. Mutual funds allow individuals to join with other investors and benefit from the potential to earn higher returns on · smaller investments. Behind every mutual fund you own is a team of investment experts. As you know, they strive to help your fund achieve its stated goal growth, income, growth-andIncome, etc. - while controlling, as much as possible, the level of investment risk. Beyond this general job description , though, what do these professionals do? Let's take a look at the key players: Portfolio managers and analysts. Portfolio managers: Calli ng the shots If your mutual fund were a football team, the portfolio manager would be the quarterback the player responsible for using all available resources to keep moving forward. Basically, a portfolio manager controls the assets of your mutual fund by buying and selling individual holdings to meet the fund's stated goals. So , if Fund XYZ's objective is growth and income, the portfolio manager will fill the fund with some investments that offer growth potential and some that offer current income. Portfolio managers make their buy and sell decisions based on a variety of factors, including the performance •.. April Rice ' of individual investments, economic conditions and the outlook for specitic industries. These managers also watch the "tax efficiency" of their funds by monitoring tax-generating transactions. Analysts: Crunching numbers and watching people Among the vast universe of investment possibilities, which stocks. bonds, government securities and other vehicles are suitable for Fund XYZ? It's the analyst's job to make that decision. Analysts rely on "hands-on" or "organic', research, which is comprise of the following element~: • Numbers: Analysts thoroughly review a company's financial statement, which provides a snapshot of how the business is doing at any given time. In reviewing these statements, analysts focus on a variety of data, including the growth rate of sales and ewmings, cash flow, and debt load, Analysts also compare a business' performance with that of others in the same industry. • People: To an analyst, a company 's numbers are important, but so are its people. By talking regularly with managers and other key per- 2004 sonnel, analysts can gain a clear sense of a company 's mission, direction and prospects. But good analysts, recognizing the importance of getting other r.c?rspecti ves on a company, w11l also talk to a lirm 's customers, suppliers, competitors, bankers, auditors and even recent retirees. • Insights: It might seem that looking at a company's books and talking to its key players and observers might be enough for an analyst to form an opinion of the business. However, analysts like to see lhinJ!S with their own eyes, which IS why they spend many hours out in the field, walking factory floors, exwmining raw matenals and scrutinizing product places on retailers' shelves. By combining the numbers, the people and the fieldwork, analysts can form a complete picture of a company to determine if it 's a promising investment opportunity. And, as things change over time, analysts must constantly revisit their earlier subj ects to see if they're still fund-worthy. As you might expect, it takes years of training, study and experience to became a portfolio manager or an analyst. But all this expertise is your every single time you invest in a mutual fund . And that' s a pretty good deal. April E. Rice is an investmellt representative with Edward Jones Investmenis. 990A Second Ave., Gallipolis, (740) 44/-9441 .

It is also important that you are not fooled into believing that you have addressed the possibility of title defects by demanding a warranty deed. In a warranty deed, the seller warrants the title against the claims of all other persons. If the warranty is broken, it may still have to be enlorced by a lawsuit . There is also the possibili ty that your seller may die or go bankmpt before a title defect is di scovered. This could prevent you from receiving any real benefit from the warranty. Although a warranty deed is always desirable, and the buyer should always insist on this type of protection, the deed alone is not adequate protection when contemplating a major investment of this type.

She already had set her, sights on working with wild animals in their natural habi.tat. At 26, she headed to :Africa to study chimpanzees . at Gombe National Park in :what is now Tanzania. That was in 1960. Years of patient observation of these creatures' . behavior led her to many dis·coveries. Among them: Chimpanzees eat meat, and they fashion tools out of twigs and blades of grass. Along the way, Goodall the observer and scholar became . Goodall the advocate. She :founded the Jane Goodall -Institute for Wildlife and Conservation in 1977. Then, at a conference a decade later, she was shocked by fellow primatologists' reports of rampant poaching and habitat .destruction. Her life as a field . scientist had come to an end. She was now a full-time activist. Since then , Goodall , who turns 70 next month , has maintained a puni shing schedule of travel: for lectures and lobbying, for raising money and awareness, for _signing books (she's written a dozen). · Driven by "genes and sheer determination," she is on an endless campaign trai I that keeps her from the wilderness she's so committed to ·preserving. That is the story behind "Jane Goodall ' s Return to Gombe," a onehour documentary airing at 8 p.m. EST Monday on Animal Planet. The film follows Goodall on an all-too-brief, all-toorare visit back to her favorite spot on Earth, where she reconnects with her beloved apes. Then, too soon, duty calls her away. Deprived of what she loves best, in order to help save it: That's a bitter irony, Goodall concedes as she meets with a reporter while in New York for lectures and publicity. For this is someone who, if asked what she most fancies, says, "To be out in the forest, or some wild place, by myself -completely away." "Until 1986, I got to live my dream," she notes. "How many people get to live their dream? But then you realize that animals are threatened with extinction, and you realize the extent of global pollution, and you think how we've damaged the world. "I have to do my best, my bit, however small it may be," she says, "to try and turn things around before it's too late. So I can't stop." On the documentary, viewers see Goodall in her natural habitat. At one point, she greets a powerful ape she has known for years. "Just the · most lovely old man," she says as the ape buttons a cuff of her shirt sleeve, then tenderly massages her eyelids. She describes another chimp, best friend Gremlin, as "a thinking, feeling indi" vidual," and adds, "I'd give anything to be in the mind of a chimpanzee and look out on the world through a chimpanzee's eyes - even if it's for just a couple of minutes." Regard for animals is only proper, Goodall contends. It lends some much-needed humility to the human race, which, after all, is part of the animal community. "We are not the only beings on the planet with personalities, minds and feelings," she say s. "Animals as individuals matter. And we should respect that." She is a powerful symbol ot such a world view. A slight, girlish figure with her gray hair pulled into a ponytail, she is a celebrity, a global presence among whose countless honors include her installation last month as a Dame of the British Empire. Goodall focuses much of her energies on children. They, she has learned, are more receptive to her crisi s call. Her Roots & Shoots program has engaged youngsters in more than 87 countries. "If you ng people tru ly learn to understand there arc limit s to ou r natura l resources, and neve r fa ll prey to the unsustainable li fes tyles so many adults have adopted. then there is hope ," she say s. "And we just have to cling to that hope. "This planet is in di re, dire need," she says with quiet resolution, "and it's go ing to take all of us getting together to do something about it particularl y in thi s coun try. with this (presidenti al) administration and its un believable record of enviro nmental damage. "I feel anger, de tinitely." admit s Goodall when she thinks of how the odds are stacked against her cau se. "But I try to keep th e peace of the forest within . That's what I draw on." \ ." \ • Jane Goodall observes a thi nki ng primate in thi s unda ted promotion al photo. ·· Jane GoodaWs Return to Gombe.'· a one-hour clocumenta,-y a1nng at 8 p.m. EST Monday, March 8. 20 04 on A,nimal Planet. follo ws Goodal l on an all -too-bnef. all -too-rare vis1t back to Gombe. her favonte spot on Earth. where she reconnects w1t11 her llelovecl apes.

Qttmes -6rntinel • BY CHRISTY LEMIRE M' ENTERTAINMENT WRITER They could have played Panch and John or Crockett and Tubbs or even Lenny and Squiggy - and they probably will some day. For now, you can sit back and watch the sporadically amusing, comfortably numbing familiarity of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson bouncing off each other in "Starsky & Hutch." It's not so much a movie ver. sion of the 1970s buddy-cor, TV show as it is "Zoolander ' with gu ns. Here, as in that 200 1 movie about dimwined male models, Stiller plays the uptight guy who takes h1mself way too seriously and Wilson plays the easygoing guy who everyone likes. That these off-screen friends have established such an easy on-screen camaraderie is a good thing and a bad thing. They' re obviously comfortable with each other and they can be fun to watch. though the script an10unts to linle more than a series of sketches, loosely held together by the grooves of a chicka-chicka·wa-wa soundtrack and the growls of Starsky's Gran Torino engine.

JOB FOR THE ASSOCIATED PR ESS The 2004 Suzuki Verona doesn't look like the lowestpriced, six-cylinder. mid- size sedan on the market. It doesn't look like a car that was plucked from a now-bankrupt company, either. The new Verona has a $16,999 manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destinati on charge, that undercuts even six-cylinder, mid-size sedans fro m South Korean automakers. The hi ggest mid-size com- · petitors - Toyota Camry and Honda Accord - each has a starting price of more than $22,700 when equipped with a V6, while the 2004 Hyundai Sonata with V6 carries a starting MSRP, including desti nati on charge, of $ 18, I 89 and a V6-powered, 2004 Kia Opti rna starts at $ 18,435. The Verona, itself, is built in South Korea, having been pan of the product plans of Daewoo Motor Corp. before the South Korean automaker went bankrupt a few years ago. For anyone familiar with the Daewoo cars which were sold in the States, the Verona, which was styled in Italy, was slated to be the replacement for the Daewoo Leganza. Instead , Japan-ba sed Suzuki Motor Corp. got the car after Suzuk i's partner, General Motors Corp. of Detroit, bought so me Daewoo assets.

Shifts from the transmisSIOn were usually unobtrusive. and the tra nsmi ss ion downshifted at th e ri ght points when I needed an extra ki ck to get past someone. That's about the only time I heard the eng ine loudl y. The Verona is about the same size as the Accord and Carnry. So, as expected, interior room is mostly comparable, especially to the Camry's. The Accord sedan provides more front headroom - 40.4 inches vs. 39. 1 in the Verona - while the Verona offers more rear legroom than the Accord - 37.8 inche s vs. 36.8 inches. The Verona's 13.4 cubic feet of cargo room is less than the Accord's 14 cubic feet and the Camry's 16.7 cubi c feet.

Some safety item s th at already are offered in co mpetitors, such as tire pressure monitor. curtain airbags and side airhags that deploy from the edges of the front seats. aren't offered in the Verona. The front·drive Verona keeps a lot of road bumps away from passe ngers, even as the ride doesn't fee l overly soft or tloaty. Basically. I felt my body vibrate mildly on many road bumps. Onl y severe potholes brought sharp jolts. Front suspension IS an independe nt , MacPherson strut design, while the rear uses an indepe ndent multilink configuration. The test car had I6- inch tires that impa11ed some road noise. but it was not intrusive . I noticed some wind noise emanating from the sunroof area, hut it was reduced when I kept the sun shade closed. There was a strange, intermittent, deep-seeded "bonk .. sound in the tester that came after I would stop at a traffic light or stop sign. It seemed to come from the rear, lower pan of the car and resonate through the vehicle, but I was never able to pinpoint its cause . Suzuki officials expect around 25,000 Verona sales annually.

SUNDAY PUZZLER ACROSS Word Ads Sentinel 'I In IC I ' 'The Art of Aureole" by Cha~ie Palmer is a book to linger over for its painterly design, as much as for its recipes, selected from dishes Palmer serves at his flagship restaurant, Aureole, in New York City. The photographs by Gozen Koshida focus on arrays of ingredients rather than finished dishes. (flP Photo) LOW-FAT COOKING: Chicken, Date and Apricot Tagine Use a chef's knife to cut up the chicken, onion, fruit and herbs in this well-flavored Moroccan-style chicken dish. Use a small paring knife to section the lemon and remove the strips of rind. A feature in Cooking Light magazine's March issue on the informed use of kitchen knives gives this advice for making the chicken recipe efficiently, and safely. "With three indispensable knives, you can master any culinary challenge," says food writer Marge Perry. The must-haves are a chef's knife, a paring knife and a long, serrated knife. What you pay can vary widely, she says, but remember that inexpensive knives wear out more quickly - though th!!Y could be fine for a casual cook. The term tagine used as the name of this kind of spiced Moroccan stew, is also used for the distinctive ceramic casserole with a pointy cover in which the stews may be cooked. This low-fat recipe is made in a Dutch oven, and is served over couscous. Chicken, Date and Apricot Tagine 3 1/2-pound whole chicken I tablespoon olive oil I cup chopped onion I teaspoon ground turmeric I teaspoon ground cumin 112 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper 5 garlic cloves, minced I 1/2 cups fat-free, lesssodium chicken broth 113 cup sliced whole pitted dates 1/3 cup sliced dried apricots 2 teaspoons julienne cut (linch stnps) lemon rind 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/3 cup lemon sections, peeled and chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 3 cups hot cooked couscous i~ter STAR TRANSPORT NEEDS Inexperienced drivers, Home most weekends, Peterbelt Trucks, Shared tuition.
