George Wright and some of hi s friends are in the process of removing 4x4 foot slates and solid oak doors from the classrooms in the building. Some of them are being brought down to the minipark on Court Street and anyone interested in making an offer is invited to take a look . There are lots of doors and many slates in the building ' but George wants to see just how much interest there is in doors and slates before he and some helpers go to the work ofremoving them. He describes some of the doors as hav ing real "character" whi ch proba~ly means scratches and nail holes. In about 30 days. demolition will begin on the building. changing the sky line of Main Street forever. The word is that a motel wi ll be constructed on the si te which faces the beautiful Ohio. If you've always wanted to try your hand at directing a play, this may be your chance. The Ri ver City Players, formerly the Ri verbend Community Theater, are taking applications for a director for the summer musical production which will be either "Annie Get Your Gun" or PageA2 Charlene Hoeflich "Bye Bye Birdie ... Julie Howard at 992-1044 can provide more information on the director's position along with an application to anyone interested . ApplicHtions are also avHi lable online at www.riverbendcommun itythea tre .org The deadline to applying is March 31. Pomeroy's first festival of the season. the Gold Wing s and Ribs Festival, has been set for June 4 and 5 on Pomeroy's parking lot. Paul Darnell who belongs to the local Gold · Win gs Motorcycle Club, is busy getting things organized and promises " thi s year there will be plenty of ribs for fe stival goers to enjoy." Seems last year fo lks were disappointed. At least three commercial vendors will be on site selling ribs. To add variety to offerings and complement activities of the Gold Wings and Rib s Fest, the Pomeroy Merchants Association decided to change its Heritage Day celebration originally se t for early M ay. to the Saturday of the Fest. Heritage di splay s, crafters, flower and vegetable vendors entertainment and even an ethnic food garden in the minipark will be included, along with a Civil War period dance on Saturday night called by "Miz Rosebud.'' With the arrival of some ni ce weather. things are picking up on the Rou te 33 highway project While originally it was thought the highway would be ready to travel on in June or early July, the ODOT projected date now ,is " more like September... Most of us who frequent Athens and points north ca'\ hardly ~ait. So you thought the bunny hop was a dance. Not necessaril y so. In Middleport on April 10 it's a bake sale on downtown sidewalks. You ' II be able to hop from one table to another to check out the good stuff. Thi s is the second year for the Middleport Community Association 's ' bunny hop bake sale which will begin at 10 a.m. on the Saturday before Easter. " Any group out there needing money is welcome," said of the Tom Dooley Middleport Department Store (992-3 148) who along with Hearts Aglow (992-95 13) is handling registrations and location assignments. There's no charge to take part, and what you make is what you keep. The Easter bunny will be visiting with candy treats and merchants will be having sidewalk sales. It will be a good time.

Volunteer services include errands, lawn care, office work, cooking, and delivering an occasional meal or helping with repairs. -Sunday, March Patrol coinmits to help reduce fatalities on urban roadways GALLIPOLIS The Ohio State Highway 'Patrol , along with the Ohio Department of Public Safety and Department of Transportation, has developed a nationally unique and innovative approach to· reducing crash fatalities . The Division will not reach the goal of achieving a fatality rate of one per 100 million vehicle miles traveled by 2007 unless crash rates are decreased in Ohio 's large. urban counties. "The safest road outside of an urban area is an interstate: th e most dangerou s road inside an urban area is an interstate," Lt. Dick Grau , commander of the Galli aMeigs Post, said. "In fact, four metro areas in Ohio represent 20 percent of the state's traffic deaths and most of them occur on urban interstates." OhioSafe Commute strives IO correct poor driving behavior on identifi ed problem interstate corridors through state and local law enforcement presence and public awareness. Traffic is closely monitored and crashes are removed quickly ,in order to reduce the number of secondary crashes and get traffic back to a reasonable speed. Law enforcement officers are placed along Ohio' s employ "quick clear" techniqut!s to prevent secondary crashes. During the past two years, a total of 30 traffic fatalities have resulted from 28 fatal crashes . This number is 'extremely high for an area thi s size, Grau said. The goal between 2004 and 2008 is to have no more than I traffic fatality per 100,000,000 miles traveled . Thi s equates to approximately 3 fatalities per year in Gallia County and 2 in Meigs County. As is evidenced by the two year average of 8 traffic deaths in Gallia County and 7 in Meigs County thi s is a lofty, yet attainable goal. In January of thi s year, the patrol began to be more target specifi c with its enforcemen! approach. Those viola' lions that are being monitored closely are speed; fol lowing too close, failure to yield, disobeying a traffi c sign/signal. safety belt and DUI. Of the 30 traffic fatalities during the past twoyears only six of the available 24 people were wearing safe ty belts. The OSHP's goal is to reduce the number of aggressive driving violalions , promote voluntary safety belt compliance, and remove ?. ~ I imp~ ired drivers Community events from the road. Grau said . During the remainder of this year and into the foreseeable future , we will continue to work towards the 2008 Goal, Grau said. This will be done through education, engineering, and e nforc~ me nt. " We welcome the opportunity to talk to any and all school, civic, or other types of groups where we can promote traffic safety," Grau said. Lastly, th ere will be enforcement. " We w ill continue to enforce the traffi c laws of the stale," Grau explained. He said several spec ial enforcement efforts wi II be held this year. They wi ll be specifically targeting Ohio 588, Ohio 7, Ohio 160, and Ohio 554 in addition to Green , Springfield . and Gallipoli s townsh ips 111 Gallia County. In · Meigs County, U.S. 33, Ohio 7, Ohio 124, and Ohio 248 along with Chester, Sutton, and Salisbury townships will be our primary focus.

OUR VIEW lbanks Thanks for everything Meigs County Bv J. MILES lAYTON For those who do not yet know, I have accepted a job as an editor of a daily newspaper in North Carolina. Though I am leaving, I am taking a part of Southeast Ohio with me. Before coming to Meigs County nearly a year-and-a-half :1 ~0. I was bitter, cynical and truth be told, I wasn't sure I wanted .to stay in journalism. When I started at the Daily Sentinel, I had no idea what to expect. I had never lived or worked in a community so small that everybody knows your name. I am from :big city suburbia. My high school had more students than Racine has people. My local newspaper had a circulation of well over I 00,000. By pure chance, Meigs County news icon Charlene Hoetlich was my boss. I think if it had been anybody el se, I wou ld have !efl journalism long ago to pursue academia fulltime or head back to law schooL Hoetlich knows what it takes to nun a community daily. This is no small feal because it takes expert political handling and inner strength to fairly and accurately report the news on the same nei~h­ bors you might see at the grocery store or local restaurant. Hoeflich taught me what small towns care about. Hoeflich also taught me diplomacy and tact for which I am eternally gratefuL Hoetlich was not my only teacher. Meigs County Auditor Nancy Grueser and Southern Local ~perintendent Bob Grueser taught me everything I ever needed to ow about school finance. County treasurer Howard Frank is a tinan ial genius. Frank explained public finance and how county government ''really" works. Meigs Cooperative Pruish ~ru Keith Rader and his wife, Dee, lapght me that poverty comes m all shapes and sizes. When I reported on the annual Meigs Cooperative Parish giveaway last December iri Middleport, I wa~ amazed at how many children, senior citizens · mid working families were there gathering the basic necessities. Pomeroy Village Council was a \earning experience, I worked closely with three outstandmg mayors, John W. Blaettnar, Victor Young Ill and John Musser, all of whom were tireless servants who have only the best interests of the village at heart and little praise to show for it. Pomeroy Clerk-treasurer Kathy Hysell is the most honest public servant I have ever met. If il weren't for her, the village's finances would resemble those of the federal government, and the same goes for Racine Clerk-treasurer David Spencer who is dedicated to his hometown. Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt and his staff taught me how crime doesn't pay\in Pomeroy. According to state and federal crime statistics, PPD has one of the highest arrest rates leadi ng to convictions in southeast Ohio. I was always sympathetic to what Meigs Sheriff Ralph Trussell was trying to do. Trussell just wanted to provide quality law enforcement to all ends of the county around the clock. The Meigs County Commissioners understood this, but recognized that you can't squeeze blood from a turnip because. there was NO more money in the county budget. I want to thank all the attorneys/judges in town particularly Steve Story, Chuck Knight and Fred Crow ill for their patience. I have worked with a lot of attorneys and judges and I can say without a doubt that Meigs County has some of the best anywhere. Like Dorothy leaving Oz, I feel I should say goodbye to those I worked with. .

Bush is the most po!artzing president in the history of its surveys on the subject. It 's hard to ~lie ve thai the good o!' Te~ as guy is more di visive than. say. Richard Nixon or Bill Cli nton . but apparently. he Bill O'Reilly IS. Gallup says 91 perce nt of Republicans like the presi dent but just 17 percent of the Democrats do. In a bad news situatio n for Mr. Bush. Gallup also sees independent voters shifting away from the chief executi ve. What' s in play here. I believe. is the increasing polarization of the country. not just the policie s of President Bu sh. We have entered an age where character assassination in the political arena is handsomely rewarded by media chiet'tains. and standards of civility in the general debate have declined drasticall y. Political bomb throwers are everywhere: on the radio, on cable, on the pages of smear books. Everybody 's a liar. everybody 's a cad or cadelte. and, unfortunately, some of us are eating this stuff up. So President Bush shouldn't take the polari zation thing personally: it's more E;,Tik about the culture than him. But there is danger here for the president , as it can be difficult 10 change strong perceptions thai can emerge fro m sen, ational acc usation s, proved or not. Therefore it is puzzling that the president does not want 10 do battle in the culture war, which might bring him more supporters. At this point. hi s "people" believe he can win ree lection as a terror warrior and a ta~ cutter. I don ' t believe that will be enough. Americans are an emotional people, and right now, the emotion is in soci'al issues like job outsourcing, gay marriage and the eviction of God from the public arena . Senator Kerry is hitting the outsourcing thi ng all day long, so that leaves the president with the "decline of civilization" issues. But '1,..60't f~~wo~!l he doesn'tlike them . Neither did hi s father. My observation is that George W. Bush is not a confrontational guy unle ss you di srespect him, his family or the country. Saddam made a huge mistake trying to pull a Soprano hil on Bush the elder in Ku wait. When riled up, the president is hard guy 10 rile down . But he doesn' t rile easi ly. Do you really believe the pre sident cares if . Vinnie marries Eric'? Mr. Bush may saber ranle agai nst the lawlessness of issuing gay marriage li censes, bul believe me, he cou ldn ' t care less what gays are doing, as long as they don ' t do it in Crawford. As for the crass media culture. well. the president was asleep during the Janet Jackson exposure and will probably stay in the Land of Nod on this issue . Steroids m·e one thing, but mentioning Ludacris and hi s pals in a presidential speech simply will never happen. One of the problems thai Mr. Bu sh has (and Senator Kerry has it as well) is thai he is not down with the folk s and never has been. The concerns of parents vis-a-vis the culture are mostly theoreti - cal to him . While campaigning for president the first time around. Mr. Bush could not name the leader of Pakistan. My money says he doesn' I know who 50 Cenl is either. That kind of distance from the streets is a big deficit for I the president, because he is \ not a snobby guy. He genuinely relates to people and . \ must use that personality trail to his advantage against Kerry if he is 10 win . Mr. Bush has got lo conv ince the traditional folks , who heavi- · ly outnumber the " progressives," that he understands their values and will fight for · the m. But we have seen little of th at from the president. We know he likes God, but beside s the ACLU, who doesn' t'' We d.on 't know if Mr. Bush will stand and fight against our cultural collapse or turn in early. We're all tired, Mr. President, but there's a big national brawl going on. Get in it, and you might win . Stay away, and you can turn out the lights. Veteran TV news anchor Bill 0 'Reill1· is hosr of the Fox News show "The 0 'Reillv Factor" and aurhor of rh e · "ew book "Who's Looking Out For Yott? " <;1'AJ('.'Ti'u:;Gr<A,!<\· +-\~LM~ COLUMNS 6unbap (ttme' -6entinel This race is for real By Cokie Roberts an'il Steven V Roberts Almost a year ago, as Americans troops . were storming to victory in Iraq, the thought was unthinkable. Today, il is not. The Democrats have a real chance of defeating President Bush. Th'ere are only two slogans in American politics: Stay the Course and It's Time For a Change. All incumbents run on the first slogan, all challengers on the second, and, ri ght now, Americans are registering a sharp vote of "no confidence" in their president. The latest ABC/Washington Post poll reveals why. The president' s approval rating is at 50 percent, down from a high of 77 percent last April. Even more striking: 57 percent say it's time for a "new direction" in the country, while 41 percent favor "moving in the , direction Bush has been taking us ." Many · ingredients comprise this stew of di sillusionment. Voters think the presidet1t is too aligned with "special interests," too intolerant of di ssenting views, too willing to accept huge deficits, too out of touch with their economi c problems. An ability to connect with ordinary folks has always been one of Bu sh's strongest assets, but today, only two out of five voters ,agree that •tl Cokie and St~ven Roberts ----• "he understands the problems of people like (them)." That's today, not November. Outside events, from a revival of terrorism to a rebmmd in the eco nomy, cou ld scra mble the race. And the landscape is littered with former foes who underestimated George Bush's tenacity and nastiness. John McCain, AI Gore and Saddam Husse in all learned · the same lesson: as the · fight gets tougher, so does the president. Moreover. Bush will spend more than $100 million on TV ads between now and the conventions, tearing down Kerry as a vaci llator and playing up his own performance ' after 9/ II. In our view, Bush has every right to use images from Ground Zero, and Democrats are only oomplaining because memories of that tragedy weigh so heavily in the president's favor. Sixty-three percent still consider him a stron g leader, and almost as many approve of hi s response to terrorism. Kerry is nobody's idea of a wa.rm and charmi ng candidate, and he has a 20-year record in the Senate to defend. Already Team Bush is hammering at an obscure bill Kerry once introduced to trim. intelligence spending , and that is just the beginning . Only two sitting legislators have ever been elected president, and this is one of the main reasons •• they've cast too many votes and made too many statements on too many issues. The bottom line : Kerry's support is soft. Among his backers, three out of five say they're voting against the president, not for the challenger. Still, Bush is in trouble. His new ads never mention Iraq, and for good reason. Fewer than half of all voters support his approach to that issue. and the cost in lives and money will only grow hi gher. Thai's why Bush wants to focu s on dead firetighters in Manhattan, not dead foot soldiers tn Baghdad. Moreover, Kerry can ll)atch Bush' s symbolism with heroic images of his ow n. Voters will have a choice between two stark example s of leadership and courage: Bush in the smoking ruins of Ground Zero, Kerry in the steami ng jungles of Vietnam . Kerry doesn't have to win this fight: he just has to neu· tralize the advan.tage Republicans . have long enjoyed on the issue of national security. Because when it comes to domestic questions, the Democrat is far ahead. Take just one example, thi famou s question Ronald Reagan asked so effectively in 1980 : Are you better bff now than you were four years ago? Only 17 percent of those polled say "most Americans are better off financially" since Bush took office, while 43 percent say the country is "not as well off." Finally, Kerry seems determined to match his rival s blow for blow. Vice President Cheney recently criticized the Democrat as a timid and uncertain leader and quoted a soldier as saying , "indecision kills. " Within hours Kerry shot back: "Well let me tell you something Mr. Cheney, Mr. President ·· bad, rushed decisions kill , too." Kerry's message is clear: he might be a rich and privileged preppie, but he's no wimp. He'll fight back. And, at this point, Democrats are . more united ' than Republicans. In fact, one out of four Republicans (and three out of five independents) favor a "new direction" for the country, but only 18 percent of Democrats want to stick with Bush's policies. There's a long way to go. But make no mistake: This is a real race. ' Su,nday, March 14, 2004 Catling all nurses Jobs, economy and education go hand-in-hand Due to the tragic events of Sept. II , 200 I, the United States has begun taking steps towards increased preparedness and planning for unforeseen future terrorist attacks. In 2002, the Gallia County Health Department was awarded grant funding to assis! with developing plans. protocols, and educational experiences specific to community disasters for the Gallia County region. We at the Gallia Ozmnty Health Department want to take every measure possible to be prepared and to protect you the public if a di saster or bioterrori srn event takes place in our county. Pari of my job description at the health department is to assist with this preparedness phase . In February, I sent a letter to all registered nurses , and licensed practical nurses in Gallia County who are licensed by the Ohio Board of Nursing. This letter addressed the need for volunteers to assist with a disaster or bioterrorism situation. We hope and pray that another situation similar to 9111 does not take place, but if it does, we need to be prepared. Gallia County is fortunate to have over 400 registered nurses and over I 00 licensed practical nurses with a license from the Ohio Board of Nursing. Nurses, we need your he Ip! The beginning phase of this preparedness is just simply obtaining names and numbers of nurses who are interested in volunteering. Many are probably wondering what their role would be in a situation like this. It really depends upon what type of disaster we might encounter. Various tasks could be assigned to the nurse volunteers · such as assistance with medication distribution, education, vaccinations, and general medical care for the community. Just like our everyday jobs Jobs and the economy are certainly the hot topic of di scussion these days - Ohio has lost 190,000 jobs since the recession began in March 2000. As a state legislator, I believe it is my duty to address the issue of how to create and retain good jobs in our state, especially right here in Southern Ohio. I will a! ways make it one ot my first priorities to learn and under5tand the problems fac ing our local businesses, for those small businesses are the heart of our local communities. Last week, I spent the day in Jackson and Ross counties. talking with local business leaders about what we can do to better serve their needs. I was joined by Rep. Clyde Evans, and Ohio Director of Development Bruce Johnson. who was just tapped by Gov. Bob Taft to lead the new Jobs Cabinet. I feel we accomplished a great deal that day, and we all got a better idea of what we can do to start to improve the job climate and economy in Southern Ohio. One common theme is that education and jobs go handin-hand. I spend a great deal of time visiting schools and talking to educators. I also spend a great deal of time talking to employers about their concerns. Both of these groups share many common concerns. On the one hand, there are many that are criticizing the legislature for increasing aid to primary and secondary ed ucation at historic levels, and not using that money towards job training or development. I believe it is a sound investment of taxpayer dollars to educate cilize~s so that they can make sound decisions to govern themselves and to have the ski ll s to make a living . Conversely, there are others that are critical because they Deanna Pope, MSN, RN we sometimes do not know what we will embrace, but as nurses we adapt to the challenge and implement the many tasks we have been taught and practice. Once names are compiled, we will assess and see what training and educational programs will be needed for the volunteers. Some nurses may have previous military, public health, and/or disaster training and experience. These people will be very valuable in providing experienced insights in the training and planning development. To volunteer will not take a large amount of time out of ~our everyday life. The trainmgs will be minimal and will be available at times to fit your schedu le . Please be assured that if you do decide to volunteer, you will be called to assist in emergencies only and will be the first to receive vaccinations or prophylaxis if needed. Thank you for supporting our preparedness efforts in Gallia County. As you know, people must pull together in times of need and be ready to assist in any way possible. · Your volunteer efforts will help ensure that our county" is ready to face a wide variety of health emergencies. If you did not receive the letter I sent in February and are interested in volunteering or if you have further questions, please contact me at the County Health Gallia Department at (740) 4412952 or e-mail me at dpope@gw.odh.state.oh.us. Ohio tax reform: Possible or not? SOC\AL StCURITY/TtiE. HALfTIMe ~t\OW Page As Over the course of the last 50 years many things have changed - our state has grown as a whole, and the economy has experienced many a surge and setback. Ohio, which once led the nation in manufacturing, now ranks third behind California and Texas, having lost hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs over the years - 118,000 in the past three years alone. We now operate in a servicedominated economy in which• lower-paying service-related jobs now replace the once higher-paying manufacturing jobs held by so many Ohioans. As a result of this service economy, Ohio's personal average income has dropped below that of the national average. At the same time, Ohio- along with many other states - has been facing budget shortfalls - here in the Buckeye state our state budget was grossly out of balance at the beginning of 2003. All the while, as changes in our economic landscape took place over 50 years, our tax structure remained virtually unchanged. In an attempt to help Ohio emerge from an economic slump, Gov. Bob Taft instituted the Third Frontier program, an initiative designed to attract and nurture the growth of high tech jobs in Ohio. That effort, however, took a setback when voters rejected his proposal to d~velop and recruit new higher paying, high tech jobs for iOhioans. Still, Ohio's fiscal woes needed to be addtessed, and so a commission was formed, composed of some of Ohio's best economic and business minds who spent the better part of a year stuqying proJected state expenditures and taxation. The commission concluded that Ohib needed ta.x reform and reco~mended Clyde Evans that taxation be expanded to the service economy, reducing the business franchise tax for small and intermediate businesses. The study commission also found that Ohio's business franchise tax is very high in comparison to other states, making the recruitment of outof-state businesses, as well as the nurturing of new business, quite difficult. The fact of the matter is that BUSINESSES CREATE JOBS and without them our economy remains stagnant and we struggle to compete with other states for jobs that are so desperately needed in Ohio. The governor has proposed a sweeping change in taxation to the service economy with the hope of lowering the franchise tax. Yet, as ·soon as this proposal was made public an outcry roared across the state. Pressures mounted in many areas and one by one many of the proposals were dropped, leaving a very small percentage of revenue from the service economy. This adventure with tax reform will, no doubt, continue to be a major challenge. During the past year alone, tax reform· has been rejected in the states of Virginia and Alabama. The old senator from Louisiana, Russell Long, analyzed the problem years ago by saying, "Don' t tax you: Don't tax me; Tax the man behind the tree." My colleague, Rep. Sally Conway Kilbane, a Ph.D. in economics from the Cleveland area, is the chairperson of the Ways and Means Committee here in the Ohio House. She and her committee will continue to work toward modernizing a tax system that will encourage small businesses to develop and grow by spreading the tax burden and curb the loss of manufacturing jobs to other states and, for that mat, ter, third world countries. I will encourage and support these efforts to stimulate small business development, but I will support tax relief for individuals as well. As previously mentioned, Ohio has shifted from a manufacturing-based to servicebased economy. Many Ohioans are now forced to try and make do with less. These hard working citizens need and deserve tax relief as much as any business or corporatipn · does. I do not believe anyone making less than $20,000 a year should have to pay state income tax, and ! .will work in the coming months to ensure that the idea of tax relief fo r individuals with low incomes is not lost in the debate. For more information of how we are working to craft responsible tax reform for the state of Ohio, or for information on any other state-related matter, please do not hesitate to contact · me, State Representative Clyde Evans at 77 S. High St. II th tloor, Columbus, OH 43215 . I can also be reached by phone at (614) 466-1366. John Carey believe the state has not spent enough money or time on education. I also have to point out that there are limits to what state government can do to fund education. Regardless of the argument, government needs to spend education money more efficiently. It is an issue that is not going to go away. One thing I found surprising as we talked with local ·business leaders is that there are many employers in our area who are looking for workers and are having trouble finding applicants with adequate ski ll s for the job. This is frustrating to me because I know there are people who want 10 work thai cannot find jobs. This leads me lo believe that we need to spend more time discovering exactly what workers are looking for, and how we can train appl icants to develop those skills. Employers are also concerned abo ut health care costs, which are soarin g. The business leaders I spoke with expressed a great desire to be Additional 50% Depreciation Allowed There's good news if you have your own bus1ness. You may be able to claim an additional 50% depreciation deduction able to reward the hard work and dedication of their employee> wi th higher wages. but are unable to do so because each year health care cos" are taking up more and more space in their company budgets.

Do you need to reseed your lawn') 1l1e sooner you get the seed sown the better established the lawn will be betore the hot, summer months. Most homeowners will have the best suc'Cess if they remember these few steps. * Select the correct type of seed tor the lawn. For sunny areas use either two or more varieties of bluegrJss or improved tall tescue. Shady areas should be planted in fine tescue or in combinations with shade tolerant varieties of bluegra's or tall tescue. * Prepare the soil so that the seed comes in direct contact with the soil. Rake out the rocks and level the ground so it drains properly. If possible, have a soil test taken and adjust the pH levels and nuhient levels as required. * Sow seed and gently rake it in to the top quarter inch or so of the ground. Cover lightly with straw (not hay- too many weed seeds) at approximately one 50 pound bale per I000 square foot of area. Keep the ground damp for the next 34 weeks as the seed genninates. You will not see any green grass seedlings for 2-3 weeks. If erosion is a concern, add a pound of perennial ryegrass per HXXl square feet to the lawn seed mixture. *Cut the lawn at a 3 inch height tor the frrst three cuttings. lfbroad leaf weeds emerge with the grass you can conttul them by spmying on a weed killer after the third or tourth cutting.

Four firefighters suffered minor injuries, including two hurt in falls at the Superior Dairy fire in nearby Perry Township. The fire was contained by midnight Friday. Rick Alatorre, director of the Stark County Emergency Management Agency, urged residents within a !-mile radius to turn off furnaces and other equipment that might suck vapors into homes. Alatorre said the chief concern was a leaking container of anhydrous ammonia used for the dairy's refrigeration system. Ammonia can irritate the lungs, nose and eyes.

"Today, we have hit a home run: Our top health authorities are making clear that andro should not be on the market," he added. "Kids shouldn 'l be able to buy it. .. . Now they won't be able to." Andre's use soared after McGwire said he used it in 1998, the year he hit a record-setting 70 home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals. He later said he was quitting andre, citing concern that children copied his use of the pills. Andre's use has since plummeted, from $55 million in 200 I to $15 million last year, according to the Nutrition Business Journal. But sales of supplement steroid precursors have almost doubled, to $125 million last year. The government is investigating a list of supplements and could take additional action, said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson. But it took several years to clarify andre's risk s, McClellan added. And andre remains popular with kids, said Rep. John Sweeney, R-NY. citing interest among his own c hildren' s friends. One government survey fo und one in 50 high school sophomore s and one in 40 seniors had used andro in 200 I, the latest data available. MICROSOFT LINKS GOLF* Montgomery area' &ay twn tJights at WASHINGTON -Worried that children still are imitating slugger Mark McGwire's one-time fondness for andre, federal health officials are moving to end sales of the steroid-like supplement. The body converts andre, known officially as androstenedione, into testosterone and, to some extent, estrogen, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. That means it poses the same health risks as directly using anabolic steroids, which are controlled substances, the FDA said in warning 23 manufacturers to cease sales or face federal seizure of their products or other penalties. Among the risks FDA cited are heart and liver damage, and some gender-specific problems : testicular atrophy, impotence and breast enlargement for males , and facial hair, menstrual problems and increased ri sk of breast and uterine cancer for females . Children · can undergo early puberty and stunting of bone growth. "These are irreversible, irreversible health consequences," said FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan. One major supplement company. 1\vinLab Corp., didn't return a call seek- ing comment. But some smaller distributors.said Thursday they'll comply, reluctantly. "This is a political way of making hay" because of hysteria over athlete steroid use, said Troy Dickerson of LifeLink in Grover Beach, Calif., who said he sells up to I 0,000 bottles of andro annually and has never 'had a health complaint Athletic use of performance-enhancing drugs is drawing harsh political scrutiny, and legislation pending in Congress would formally de signate andro and more than two dozen other steroid-like substances as controlled substances ju st like other anabolic steroids - making them available by prescription only under certain conditions. The bill also urges tougher sentencing guidelines, so if the legislation passes and athletes take a banned steroid, "we're going to send them to jail," said Sen. Joe Biden, D-DeL . a co-sponsor of the bill. The Bush administration endorsed that legislation Thursday - but the FDA decided it had enough legal backing to begin ending andro sales without waiting for Congress. The FDA cited a 1994 dietary supplements law that required any dietary ingredient sold after that date to provide reasonable risk of safety to the FDA before selling - something no andre Midr!'cst, Clmutlm rl'm, Co~JMI , Mw, /'icdmont. /'SA, Slmtr!c A111crim m· Trnm Stater.

Bomb squads and dog s joined expanded patrols at train stations across Greece as part of boosted security measures leadmg to the Aug . 13-29 games. Greece's request to NATO came a day after Spain's worst terrorist attack. Ten bombs blew up four trains during morning rush hour· and killed nearly 200 people. Spain blamed Basque se~­ aratists, but a group clatmed respon sibility in the name of al-Qatda. NATO was asked to provide aerial and sea surveillance against a "chemical, .biological and nu~ lear incident." Athens ' massive secunty preparations already cost a record $800 million and involve 50,000 police and troops . "This is part of a general effort for international assistance and participation ... to deal with consequence s (of attacks) that exceed the capabilities of our~ country," police spokesman Col. Lefteris lkonomou told The Associated Press. NATO said even before the attacks that it is willing to help. A seven-nation advisory group - Au stralia, Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Spain and the United States - is assisting Athens with security training and planning. U.S. and Greek force s are taking part in a major security drill in Athens and other Greek citie s hosting Olympic events. The Madrid bombings prompted security alerts at transportation points and other potential terrorist targets in several countries. Authorities in Portugal , which is preparing for the Euro 2004 soccer championships , said security concerns shifted overnight from roWdy fans to potential terrorist threats. Offi cials are considering whether to mstall metal detectors at stadium gates for the June 12-July 4 tournament. "These bombings make us feel that the world is more insecure . We must ensure sec urity is handled in the best possi ble way," said Leone I Carvalho, the Euro 2004 security coordinator. "We need to exchange information at all time s and combat any terrori st thre ats." ' ln Karachi, unprecedented security was ordered Friday as India's cricket ,team arrived for a one-day intern ational in its first full tour of Pakistan in 14 years. About , 500 police commandos escorted- team members to thetr hotel , while more than 5,000 police and 1,500 paramilitary officers were deployed in a nd around the city 's National Stadium . It was not clear whether the Madrid attacks had a direct impact on the sec urity. already tight because of the history of bitter relations betwee n the two neighbors. The bombings brought signs of sy m· pathy across the sports world. Th e German soccer c lub Bayern Munich offered to play a charity game with Real Madrid to raise money for the survivors and relatives of the victims. Spanish cycli st Oscar Freire ~vore a black armband as he took the overall lead in Italy 's Tirreno-Adriati co race . Spanish golfer Mi guel An ge l Jimenez, playing at the Qatar Masters, said he was stunned by the bombings. " I have seen the T\( pictures and gol to see what happened in Madrid ," he said. " It is very sad," he said . " I have lots of friends all over Spain and I was concerned. All of a sudden . go lf is not that important now." 'I • Leather • Locally Owned • Pwr.

"It's been great wa tching the races," . Elliott said. "To tell you the truth, I know I made the right decision. It was the best decision I ever made.'' He' ll be watching Sunday 's Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway from the radio booth, part of an audition of sorts as an analyst for the Performance Racing Network. It's the first time the former champion of NASCAR's top series has mi ssed a race at his home track since 1979. . His team, Evernham Motorsports, couldn' t put together a sponsorship package to make thi s event part of his partial schedule . "Bill Elliott brings a timely and · . unmatched perspective to our broadcast learn," lead announcer Doug Rice said. ~ ·we are all excited and honored to have Bill join us.'' _ Last week at Las Vegas, the 48-year- old Elliott ran his first official event of : the year and finished lOth. He was 14th · in the Bud Shootout - a non-points race - at Daytona in February, and he 's :Spent much of his time helping his team ;levelop a new style of car. : That might be all he' II be able to do. · So far, Elliott has a deal for only one : more Nextel Cup race, the Samsung. Radio Shack 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 4. · Part of what helped his adjustment go ~o smoothly has been the performance of his replacement, rookie Kasey Kahne. The 23-year-old Kahne has back-to-back . second-place finishes and a pole at Las Vegas. After he narrowly lost to Matt Kenseth at Rockingham, Elliott was one of the first people to call Kahne and congratulate him. "That meant a lot, that Bill would take : time to do that," Kahne said. · It's all part of Elliott's new role as · Kahne's mentor. The two worked togeth. er at a few preseason tests, and when Kahne had trouble during a session at Atlanta a few weeks ago, he talked it through with Elliott. . "He told me things that could fix that ' from the driver's standpoint," Kahne · ~aid. "Bill's got a lot of knowledge." · That's especially true at Atlanta, one of .the fastest tracks on the circuit and only ll.bout 100 miles south of Elliott's hometown of Dawsonville. In 54 starts, he - gave his fans plenty to remember, win. ning five times, including a sweep in 1992. · _· Along the way, the 1988 Winston Cup ~hampion was voted NASCAR's most -popular driver 16 times, a record that probably will not be broken. Kahne - hopes to get some of those fans by keep• ing the No. 9 Oodge up front. · "I think there's probably a lot of ups . l!IId downs with fans," Kahne said. :·some of them want to pull for me and _!)Orne don't. If the 9 car is still running good, hopefully we can get more of them.'' , . Getting Elliott more opportunities on : the .track is the goal of team owner Ray ' Evernham. Hts orgamzauon debuted . three years ago, and Elliott has the only ·_four victories in that span. ' .. ... .

(AP) So Evernham feels a responsibility to help Elliott end a 27-year career on his terms . "He's been really. really happy with the success that Kasey has had," Evernham said of Elliott. "He certainly should get a feeling of accomplishment. He's got a big part of where Evernham Motorsports is at.'' Either way, Elliott will continue to work with Kahne. "He's a good kid, and he's got his act • together," Elliott said. "I think I might be able. to throw a couple of things his way at some tracks. "He's going to get to do it his way.

Cabela's, _a $59 milli on fantasy land for . hunters and l1 shers. has drawn nearly 4 million outdoors enthu siasts I rom up and down the East Coast and beyond since it opened in rural eastem Pennsyl vania last September. Visitors. half of whom li ve more than 100 miles away. llock to a 250,000-square-foot superstore that 1s part shopper's paradise, part .theme park and part natural history museum. An enonn~u s walk-through aquarium, indoor mountam With waterfall and exquisite taxidenny con~pl e ment a dizzying array of guns. rods. camp1ng ~111d boatmg equipment and thousands of other 1tems. It's the largest of Cabela's seven retail stores in Nebraska. Michigan , South Dakota Wisconsin. Minnesota and now Pennsylvania: An etghth store w1ll open later this year in West Virginia. Government officials who lured the Nebraska-based chain here with $33 million in state and . local tax incentives say they are pleased wnh thetr mvestment. The store is on track to generate $3 million to $4 million in state sales taxes in the first year. Hotels are under development and nearby merchants report brisk sales. . And for a county that has lost 9,000 high-paymg manufactunng JObs smce 2000, Cabela's is a small but welcome shot in the arm. The store, 80 miles northwest of Philadelfhia, hired more than 600 people, 70 percent o them full-time, although the JObs don't pay as well as the ones they replaced. • "Every weekend, I get a report from somebody who has trouble even getting a parking space up there. so I know they are doing very well," said Tom McKeon, director of community and economic development for Berks County. So many people pack Cabela's on weekends - 50,000 on a typical Saturday or Sunday that the tile tloor disappears. Even weekdays are busy. "It's really obvious the people who are here for the first time because they'll just walk the perimeter. They'll take three hours staring at the taxidermy," assistant manager Brad Lines said. Cabela 's displays more than 800 mounted specimens. including the largest black .bear ever taken in Pennsylvania (an 800-pounder on loan from the state Game Commi >Sion.)

Fox that is inlaid with seven precious metals. ·"In terms of sporting goods stores, I don't think any even come close," said Gary Kagarise. 64. a retired biology teacher from Pine Grove Mills, Pa., who was wandering the store with his daughter and two grandchildren. His opinion is bad news for small sporting goods stores, many of whom took a linancial hit when customers bolted. Jim Weaknecht, whose sporting goods store is only a mile away from Cabela's, said business was down more than 50 percent in the last four months of 2003 before sales rebounded in January and February. "It was devastating, no question about it. It terrified us," said Weaknecht, 46, who has been in business 21 years. He said, however, that he doesn't mind the competition. "If they had to come to Pennsylvania, I'd rather have them a mile away than 30 miles away. Being as close as.I am, I have a very good shot at having an overflow," he said. Cabela's was founded in 1961 as a catalogue company and still does the majority of its business that way, mailing nearly 100 million catalogues each year. It is privately owned and does not report earnings. "People have been getting this book for 42 years and now they want to get a chance to experience Cabela's," said John Castillo. marketing manager of the Hamburg store, who once drove to Baltimore to pick up a customer who had flown in from Iceland. "We' ve tried to bring the catalogue to life." Artisan trades taxidermy hobby for fledgling knife-making business BY JOHN McCoY For the Associated Press 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 398 SOURCE: NASCAR AP Wks. in Points top 10 PageB7 CAMPBELLS CREEK, W.Va. - When Gary Wendell realized his taxidermy hobby had Jrown humdrum. he looke around for an edgier pastime. , He took up knife making. For more than a year, Wendell has spent most of his spare time in his Campbells Creek workshop, fashioning blades for hunters and collectors. "It seems to be a natural tit for me." he says. " It dovetails nicely with my education and the skills I've acquired through the years. " Wendell 's degree in mechanical engineering and his experience as a blacksmith gave him an intimate knowledge of metallur~y and metalworking. The artistic eye he developed as an award-winning taxidermist gave him the necessary design skills. Curiosity and ambition took it from there. • "I started buying collectorquality knives a couple of years ago, and I became fascinated that some.thing that nice could be made from scratch by hand," Wendell recalls. "It ~ot me interested. I had to try it. ' He pulled out his old metallurgy textbooks, did some additional Internet research, fired up his forge and started experimenting. One of his first efforts was a small hunting knife made from a scrap of half-inch steel cable. Wendell cleaned the grease off the cable and forged the strands illto u solid bar that he then fashioned into a blade. A buckhom handle finished the job. The knives Wendell prOduces today W'e much more elaborate. "I work from burs of high· carbon or stainless steel, ana I incorporate some fllirly exotic materials into the pommels and handles," he says. .,I His knives come in three grades - field, medium and presentation. "A field-grade knife wi II have a high-carbon blade and a handle made of a composite material such as Micarta or Corian," Wendell says. "A medium-grade knife will have a stainless-steel blade with a nickel-silver or brass bolster, and a handle shaped from some kind of wood. A presentationgrade knife will have a handle made of some exotic material such as stag horn, mother-ofpeat! or giraffe leg bone.'' Wendell's metalworking skills, which he acquired after taking a blacksmithing course in 1983, allow , him to forge blades of exotic Damascus steel. "That's ,where you take six layers of nickel and six layers of high-carbon steel, forge them together under heat and keep drawing them out and folding them over until you have a knife blank that's composed of hundreds of super-thin layers," he explains. Though the forging came naturally to him, Wendell says other parts of the knife maker's craft haven't been as easy to conquer. "My biggest challenge is with folding knives," he says. "All the surfaces have to be perfectly flat, and have to fit within a thousandth of an inch in order to look right. That's not easy to do by hand." He adds, however, that the joy of creation more than makes up for the headaches. "When you know that you've taken a pTain piece of bar steel and have turned it into something that's not only useful but attractive, it's quite a rush," he says. Time and patience are key ingredients. When Wendell gets 11n idea for 11 new knife design, he sketches the outline on _paper and then transfers the shape to a piece of wooden paneling . "Thatsmy ' 'bl an k·,' " hesays. "Aiier I determine how it feels in my hand, I have other people see how it feels in theirs. When I finally get the shape I want. I transfer the shape !'rom the wooden template to a .piece of bar steel." After he grinds the steel blank to the desired shape. Wendell begins hollow-grinding the blade to a rough edge. After tempering and heat-treating, the blade is ready to receive its handle. Wendell sandwiches roughshaped handle materials onto each side of the blank. then ~rind s and polishes the handle mto its finished form. A tina! touchup sharpening puts a razor edge on the blade. "I temper my knives to hold their edges," he says. "My stainless blades have a hardness of 59 to 60 on the Rockwell scale. and they hold their edges a good long time." Hunters value sharp blades with long-lasting edges. and local sportsmen have been quick to embrace Wendell's razor-keen creations. "I .expect my knives to be used, and they are," he says. Utility doesn · t come cheap. Wendell's field-gmde knives, complete with custom-made sheath, cost $85. Mediumgrade models go for $1 55, and presentation blades can cost hundreds. "The most expensive knife I've sold so far was $650," Wendell says. • Regardless of the knife's grade, Wendell offers a lifetime warranty. "As long as you don't use it as n screwdriver, a crowbar or a hammer, I'll tix anything that breaks on it," he says. "And I rovide free lifetime sharpen· r.n~ and cleaning for all my kmves."

Irena Pleskova, MD BY CHARLENE HOEFI.ICH HOE,FLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM 1 The addition of Roberts, who has worked for the past three years with Holzer Clinic's new cardiothoracic surgeon Michael Lewis, MD, in Paris, Texas, brings ~4 years experience as a perfusionist with extensive experience using cell saver devices. Perfusionists are clinical professionals who specialize in operating heart-lung machines during open-heart surgery. Roberts, who is a certified clinical perfusionist and one of the first of his prfe~sion to be in the region, believes the equipment addition proves that Holzer is commiUed to establishing a topnotch open-heart program in the Southeastern Ohio River Valley. "The cell saver Holzer recently acquired is on the cutting edge of technology and is equal to the equipment large heart centers across the country are using. We want the establishment of the open-heart progmrn at Holzer to be lop-notch from the beginning, and with the recent addition of the cell saver, we are off to a great start." Holzer's new cell saver unit has an integrated on-board suction unit making it the first of its kind in North America. CurmJtly, this addition has only been used during open-heart surgeries in Europe. Roberts also points out that another advantage of the cell saver is that a patient's blood is not being wasted since it is being recycled back to the patient. "The cell saver is almost like a portable blood bank," he said. "It is a great assistance in conserving blood supplies and not wasting any portion of the patient's blood. lnfact, platelets from the blood can be recycled into a gel that can be used for wound healing, plastic surgery and open heart procedures." Roberts is a graduate of the California State University, where he received a bachelor's degree in Psychology; the BioSystems Institute School of Respiratory Therapy; and the Texas Heart Institute School of Perfusion Technology.

' If you've been investing for at least a decade, you've already seen a lot of the ups and downs of the financial markets. Now, in 2004. you may be wondering: "What's next?" Unfonunately. no one can predict the .future. But as long as you make investment decisions based ' on reali stic expectations, you can continue making progress toward your long-term goals - in all market environments. Before we look at what it means to maintain a realistic investment outlook in the future, let's see where we 've been in the recent past. As you no doubt recall , 1995 - 1999 were banner years for the stock market. During that time, the S & P 500's annual returns ranged from 19.5 percent to 34 percent (the S & P 500 is an unmanaged index ami cannot be invested into directly) . From 2000 to 2002, stock prices fell sharply, but . in 2003, things turned around, and the major stock market indices showed strong gains. What's in store for the rest 2004, 2005 and beyond? No one has a crystal ball, but, as you look ahead, here are a couple of things to consider. -Interest rates and inflation are still low - Two conditions that helped drive stock prices higher in the 1990's, low inflation and low interest rates, are ·still present. -Stock prices may benefit from lower dividend tax rate - Last year, the maximum tax rate on dividends was cut to 15 percent (This expires December 31, 2008). Previously, dividends were Mr. Switzer goes to Washington for what is now the Helen Mauck Galbreath Memorial Chapel at Ohio University. In 1893, Switzer was elected prosecuting attorney. In 1899, he left that position and went into private practice and it looked like he would stay there. It was actually a man from Erie County, Ohio, that brought Switzer out of retirement from politics. In 1908, the Ohio counties were tom between supporting Joseph Foraker or William Howard Taft for _PreSident. Erie County was gomg to go for Foraker until Arthur Vorys, Taft's campaign manager, asked Switzer 'to intervene with the Erie County Chairman of the Republican Party Carl Clark. Switzer had taught Clark law in the 1890s. In exchange for bringing the Erie delegation into the Taft camp, Switzer was made, with Vorys' influence, the head of the Republican Party in Gallia County over top of Sherman Eagle, the previous chairmap. There is quite an interesting story of the rivalry of Switzer and Eagle that involved not only state party officials but the courts as well. With the power that comes from being the head of the pany, Switzer was able, (n time, to maneuver himself into being a candidate for the I Oth Congressional District. He was elected in 1910 and served four terms. The first president who Switzer met was Grover Cleveland. There was a public reception in 1893 at the White JAMES SANDS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES·SENTINEL Perhaps no other Gallia County resident knew more presidents than did Robert M. Switzer. Of course Switzer, who died Oct. 28, 1952, had a small advantage as he served as Congressman from 19111919. It was Switzer who was able to get the present post office building appropriated through Congress beginning with the 1915 budget. The Honorable Mr. Switzer was born March 6, 1863, along the banks of the Chickamauga Creek to Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Switzer. Robert was a farmer until 1883, when he went · to Kansas to teach school. From 1885-1887, he taught at Buckeye School in Addison Township in Gallia County for $25 month . He then moved to Gallipolis to become. a deputy sheriff. His brother, Valentine Switzer, served as Sheriff of Gallia Count~ from 1888-1892. Dunng his time in the Sheriff's Office, Switzer read law with Gallipolis attorneys Sam Nash and D.W. Jones . He later studied law at the University of Vir~inia and Ohio State with hts cousin, . Roscoe Mauck, who would :become a judge in Gallia . County. Mauck's daughter was the first wife of John Galbreath. It was in her memory, upon her early death, that Mr. Galbreath donated money House. Said Switzer, "he was a great, strapping, big man with a big neck but as good a President as we ever had. He was an excellent judge of character." Switzer met Theodore Roosevelt in 1900 and ha4 ~.Y meetings with McKinley, Thfi, and Hardin¥. He later met Wilson, Coolid~e and Hoover as well. In a 1950 mterview with J. Shennan Potter, which appeared in the Gallia Times, Porter said, "He (Switzer) never met Franklin D. Roosevelt or Harry Truman and didn'tdisplay much grief over that failure. His first meeting with McKinley was at Crown City in 1895. When Switzer visited McKinl~ in the East Room of the White House in 1900, McKinley greeted Robert, "How are you Switzer? How is my old friend Vmt Rankin?" He remembered the soldiers' reunion held in Crown City in 1895, which was under the guidance of Rankin. Switzer answered, "I am soriy to tell you. Mr. President, but Mr. Rankin is ,dead." McKinley went on to say how much he had enjoyed the squirrel supper at the Gerlach home in Crown City that Rankin helped organize. While in Congress, Switzer voted for the declaration of war against Gennany, the parcel post law, for the farm loan act, against the Federal Reserve Act, which he later conceded this was a mistake·on his part, and for the prohibition amendment. Switzer said it was this last vote that got him "booted" out of Congress.

I well remember Ruth Thomas, my beloved teacher of English literature at Rio Grande who recently passed away, saying "What is the matter with the word 'duty'?" Miss Thomas believed,.even in the late 50s, that we were losing the ability to commit - to consider anything a duty. Dr. Laura says men need communication, respect, appreciation, food and good Iovin'. I don't think there is much difference between the sexes on this one. Even those of us from either Venus or Mars need those things! However, when Dr. Laura talked about a wife's obligation to "not be constantly tired", I nearly feU out of my chair!

Sunday, March 14, 2004 Sting, Annie Lennox talk to AP about summer tour; their first tour together NEW YORK (AP) - Old friends Annie Lennox and Sting have different recollections of when they first met. While the 52-year-old Sting recalls meeting the songstress at the BBC television network more than 20 years a~o, Lennox remembers a different scenario. "Someone approached me and said, 'Sting would like to have his picture taken with you,"' Lennox told The Associated Press. "I felt real~~ funny because at that . ttme, he was the megagod that he still is, and I was like this aspiring thing." When Lennox tried to prod his memory, Sting mumbled. "I don't remember." "You see, how nothing I was!" Lennox,'49, laughed. The pair will have plenty of time to reminisce as they tour together for the first time this summer. The "Sacred Love" tour, which kicks off June 27 in Philadelphia , will end in Canada on Oct. 12 . In an exclusive joint phone interview with the AP on Friday, Lennox and Sting said they hadn't de~ided on how the tour will develop, or whether they 'II sing together - but said they're happy to be performing on the same show. "I actually think that camaraderie and friendship is actually essential and it has to run from the bottom to the top," Lennox said.

"Law & Order," featuring 78-year-old Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe, will be midway through its 24th season. Another thing: Customized viewing ~Yill be the rule of thumb. You' II have far more control than just watching the shows you want to see whenever you want to see them. In the future , ypu can choose what you want to see within each show. When you tune in 'The Tonight Show" to find Donald Trump is a guest , you'll be able to press a button on your remote and select a guest you prefer. Maybe Nicole Kidman or Ben Stiller. . Instantly, your choice is sitting beside Jay. Since he asks every guest the same questions, it would be a seamless transformation . What else is ahead? Well , "Wi-Fi" (for wireless Internet), now starting to catch on, will tie everything together a decade from now. By then , your TV will be connected through your computer to all the other appliances in your home for maximum coordination. That means as you program your TV for shows you like, you can also log in chores to be done around the house. When the local news comes on. so will the trash compactor. Time for '"Fear Factor" ? The baking soda in the fridge will be swapped out for a fresh box. In the future, TV ratings will be streamlined: All viewers will be personally linked to the networks, providing moment-to-mom ent ratings from every TV household. Then the networks can instantly respond to how any show scores with its audience. A show that's flagging in its first few minutes could be cance led aP.d disappear from view in mid-episode. So might the network exec who put the show on in the first place. Obscenity on TV. such a raging issue today. will undergo an amazing reversal in the next few years. By 2014, most viewers will be so sick of brutishness and lewd behavior that nearly every bit of it will have vanished from the TV screen (even on Fox). For the handful of viewers who miss that kind of thing, a new kind of V-chip· will be introduced to serve this minoriiy. It will sift through the hundreds of virtuous channels for any naughty glimpses of Janet Jackson or a bad word from Bono. These are just some of the wonders likely awaiti ng couch potatoes of tomorrow. If you doubt such forecasts, consider the prophecies of someone who does it full · time . . Phillip Swann, president and publisher of TVPredictions.com. has two broad expectations for the future of TV. First: A proliferation of TiVo-like devices and Video on Demand, with a resulting change in how networks deliver their programming. '"In the past," says the Arlington, Va.-based analyst.

The opportunity to display great vistas with unprecedented clarity may signal a resurge nce of Westerns, Swann says.

Building on the broader ci nematic palette of 200 l's robbery adventure "Heist," "Spartan" continues Mamet's move beyond the pyrotechnic verbal interplay that dominates his earlier films. such as "The Spanish Prisoner" and "State and Main." Mamet has become a much more visual, big-picture filmmaker, rather than a playwright adapting his stage medium to celluloid. His characters still talk tough in "Spartan," a bleak, cynical thriller about a clandestine operative (Val Kilmer) going rogue to rescue the U.S. president's abducted daughter. whom no one in the adm inistration seems to give a boot about. Yet the action of "Spartan" is so choppy, the transitions so abrupt, and the pacing so deadeningly unvarying, the movie musters littl e suspense. Kilmer and his cast mates seem programmed Iike robots, running thither, barking orders and tiring bullets in a series of obtuse plot convolutions that undermine the covert military authenticity Mamet strives for. The writer-director largely leaves hi s usual-suspects repertory of · performers behind, with only regulars William H. Macy, Ed 0' Neill and Clark Gregg along for the ride, all in small roles with little dimension. "Spartan" is purely Kilmer's story, the tale of an any thing-for-king -and-cou ntry agent who grows .the nub of a soul over his AT THE MOVIES At the Movies: artan'· Machiavellian inhumanity as he comes to realize the depths of his government's heartlessness. Kilmer's Robert Scott is a career military man accustomed to handling the most bloodthirsty tasks. When he's called in on the kidnapping of the president's college-age problem child Laura Newton (Kristen Bell), Scott di spassionately lays waste to any obstacles in his path, with no regard to his victims· guilt or innocence. The hunt abruptly ends with news that Laura drowned in a sailing accident. The nation mourns and Scott heads home with a shrug, slavishly accepting his superiors' determination that the abduction angle was a wild goose chase. But Scott's young acolyte Curtis (Derek Luke) has doubts. Based on a couple of slim clues Mamet clumsily injects, Curtis becomes convinced Laura is alive and on her way to a grim, short life in a Mideast sex-slave ring. After a strangely implausible eruption of gunplay, the doubting Scott also is convinced, determining his commanders would rather sacrifice Laum to conceal unsavory presidential secrets that led to her disappearance. Scott becomes a one-man strike force in pursuit of Laura, his "Rambo" act pitting him against the government he served so ably and allies he once trusted with his life. Mamet dialogue often is best spoken stoically, but Kilmer's delivery is so deadpan that the tough, oblique phrasings turn flavorless. Anti-smoking researcher calls on A-rating for movie smoking LOS ANGELES (AP) - If Nicolas Cage lights a cigarette in a movie, Hollywood's ratings board should respond as if he used a profanity, according to authors of a new study that criticizes glamorous images of smoking in movies. rated for children under 17. Nearly 80 percent of movies rated PG-13 feature some form of tobacco use, ~¥hile 50 percent of G and PG rated ·films depict smoking, s'aid Stanton Glantz, coauthor of the study, which examined 775 U.S. movies over the past five years. "No one is saying there should never be any smoking in the movies," Glantz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said Tuesday at a , press conference at Hollywood High School. "What we're simply asking for is that smoking be treated by Hollywood as seriously as it treats offensive language." He'd like to see more PG13 movies that feature smoking like "Matchstick Men," "Seabiscuit" and the Oscar- wimlin~ "Chicago" get slapped wtth an R rating. Since R-rated films typically earn less money because they are not open to most teenagers, Glantz said he hoped such a policy would discourage filmmakers from depicting unnecessary smoking, such as the nicotine- addicted worm aliens in "Men in Black." The proposal includes an exception for historical figures who actually smoked as part of their public life, Glantz added. "For example, · if they wanted to make a movie about Winston Churchill, they could show him with a cigar without triggering an R-rating. but the number of movies where that actually happens is very small." The study was funded by the charitable foundation The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund and the National Cancer Institute. Glantz singled out The Walt Disney Co. for smoking in the PG-rated "Holes" and G-rated "102 Dalmatians," Time Warner for its PG "Secondhand Lions" and . "What a Girl Wants" and Sony Pictures Entertainment for its PG "Master of Disguise." Sony spokesman Steve Elzer said: "We are aware of the health hazards posed by smoking and while we do not advocate· our filmmakers to use smoking in our films, we can not endorse guidelines that promote censorship or restrict creative freedom," The Motion Picture Association of America, which rates films , refused to comment directly on whether it would consider changing its ratings system. PageC6 Sunday, March 14,2004 The exchanges are so tiresomely repetitive, they · become almost a spoof of Mamet-speak, a harsh , skewed, slangy style of talking without necessarily communicating straightforwardly. Mamet apparently could not get the phrase "Where's the girl?" out of his head, so he lets just about everyone bellow it at least once. One of the few parleys that truly resonates comes as a character explains to Scott how a king of ancient Sparta would stingily send a single soldier when a neighboring ally requested military aid. Sounds like a more interesting story than "Spartan." "Spartan," a Warner Bros. release, is rated R for violence and language. Running time: 106 minutes.
