Jason A. Peaks, 27, of Gallipolis, was arrested just afler II p.m. when officers executed a search warrant on a home at 504 Fourth Ave. Offices seized crack cocaine, cash and drug documents from the home. Peaks was placed into the Gallia County Jail on a charge of possess ion of crack cocaine and will be arraigned in Gallipolis Municipal Court Monday morning . Gallipoli s Police Chief Roger Brandeberry said he will consult with Gallia County prosecuting attorney Brent Saunders to determine what, if any, additional charges are appropriate. Brandeberry said that officers took special intere st in the c-ase because of the location of the h¢me . "We take all reports of drug activity seriously, but this case was of particular concern to us because it was located just three houses ~way from the grade school , where scP.ool-aged children walk back and fo~ to the athletic tlelds every day." Brandeberry said. "We are pleased \hat this drug operation has been shut, down and no · one was hurt."

Casey Mears' father, Roger, raced in the Indianapolis 500. His uncle, Rick, won the 500 four times. So what is 25·year·old Casey doing in NASCAR? "I'd love to run the Indy 500 some· day," conceded Mears, who, like Kevin Harvick, is from Bakersfield, Calif. "I miss open wheel a little bit , but I've got to tell you, I'm so happy with where I am. ln the past, the last couple of years, I was trying to con· vince myself of that. "This year, I'm really happy. I'm really pleased with where I'm at right now as far as the team I'm with and what's going on. I'm really happy with stock-car racing in general and NASCAR Nextel Cup. I'm in a good place right now, and I'm happy with what I'm doing . I'm having a bla st during the races. There's always someone to race with whether you're running 40th or in the top five." Mears isn't often running 40th these days. He led 37 laps at Atlanta Motor Speedway before retiring late in the race due to engine woes.. A week earli· er, he had a career·best seventh·place finish in Las Vegas. But he realizes that he has to continue to run up front. He feel s some pressure to .maintain his status, espe· cially considering the fact that, prior to Las Vega s, he had never finished better than 15th in a Cup race. "I think it's kind of a given , isn't itl In this kind of motorsports and motor· sports in general, yo u've got to per· form," Mears said.

Daily News, on spring training: Fort Myers on Sunday hosted The Big Event of spring training the f1rst 2004 meeting of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees .... All the game's tickets were sold within hours of ... going on sale in mid-January. But the high demand and high drama ran amok outside the ballpark Sunday morning when scalpers asked for and got far more than face value for "extra" tickets. · The market rate for tickets worth about $20 each became $100 still less than the $300-plus reported on the Web site eBay.... Could those fans seeking tickets Sunday have bought the same tickets at face value in January? Absolutely, yes. In per.son, on the phone or online. Still, Major League Baseball is enough of a big-bucks enterprise without spring training gettihg in on the act in ourback yard- making it even more prohibitive for admission to an already publicly subsidized ballpark. Fort Myers police know there already is a law against reselling a sports event ticket for more than $1 over face value. That law was openly violated Sunday, taking a bit of the shine from an otherwise exciting, showcase spring sporting event. That law should be enforced.

You mi ght expect NOW to take an ex treme po sition like thi s be cau se it has quite a track record. Remember NOW 's Texas branch rai sed money for the defen se of Andrea Yates. who was subsequently convicted of killing her fiv e children. NOW claimed she was the victim of ·'po st-partum depre ssion .' ' But here 's the interesting thing about Ms. Gandy' s argument in the Rowland case; she claims every person has "bodily integrity." OK . fine. So doesn't that de scription fit a · viable baby in the womb ? A child who can be birthed and live on its own' Apparently not, in Ms. Gandy's view. The truth is that NOW and other misguided groups do not believe any unborn chi ld has rights. According to those people, a woman can do whatever she wants during her pregnancy. and even afterward, as NOW's Yates defense proves, and not be held accountable . It is beyond me how any human being can devalue life in this manner. There is no question that Meli ssa Ann Rowland damaged her twin s in the extreme. Yet NOW opposes the prosecution . Fortunately, most American s reje,ct this kind of barbarity and want protections for babies. Last November, Congress overwhelmingly passed a ban on partial birth abortion, and it is the law of the land. That hasn't stopped the constitutional challenges, but it does give comfort to those who believe America ha s lost all moral courage. Melissa Ann Rowland is a danger to defenseless children. NOW really doesn't care much about that. To them, Rowland is the person whose rights are being violated . Because unborn babies really aren't people at all.

She and 1 disagree on certain housekeeping issues, such as whether it's OK for a house to contain dirt. Also smells. If NASA scientists really want to khow about life on Mars, instead of sending up robots that keep finding rocks, they need to send my wife, and have her take a whiff of the Martian atmosphere. If there's a single one-celled organism anywhere . on the planet, she' II smell it. And if the other astrom1uts don't stop her, she'll kill it with Lysol. Which is why her approach to leftovers baffles me. I am opposed to leftovers. I believe the only food that should be kept around is takeout Chinese, which contains a powerful preservative chemical ~ailed "kung pao" that enable~ it to remain edible for several football seasons. · All other leftover foods should be thrown away immediately, for the same reason you should not go to your 40th high-school reunion. You go expecting to see people whom you vaguely remember as being attractive, and even though you know they've aged some - Heck, even YOU have aged some - you figure, hey, it's not as if you ' re OLD yet! You're middle~ed! Like Harrison Ford! ----------------~-------------------------- - Dave Barry So you go to the reunion, and suddenly you find yourself in a room full of unrecognizable fossils, lurching around the dance floor to the sounds of Herman 's Hermits, and you realize to your horror that YO.U ARE ONE OF THEM. You get the same kind of unpleasant shock with left· overs. Time and again, in my house , when we're cleaning up after dinner, there will be, say, a small clump of uneaten string beans. and I'll have it poised over the garbage, and my wife will lunge for it like a person rescuing a baby from a wood chipper, saying: "Those will be good for leftovers!" She 'II carefully seal the string beans in a plastic contai ner and put them in the refrigerator, as if she truly believes that sometime in the near future an ac tual human in our household will say: "Dang! l could really chow down on . some old string beans!" Now fast-forward about a month, when my wife, passing the refrigerator, detects an odor molecule. So she > takes out the plastic container and discovers that EWWW the string beans have been replaced by alien space worms with inch-long blue fur. Which of course she hurls into the garbage, which as you may recall is exactly where l tried to throw them a month earlier. This is what happens to, I would estimate, I 00 percent of our non-Chinese-takeout "leftovers." Speaking of refrigerator odors , here is a: PRACTICAL HOMEMAKER TIP - Always keep an open box of baking soda in your refrigerator. That way, when people come to your house to visit, you can say: "Would you care for some cold baking soda?" Then they will leave. But I digre ss. My point and l know this because I'm using powerful point-detection software - is that people have differing views about what constitutes good housekeeping. Thi s is why l' m so interested in an article that appear~d recently in the New York Times, concerning household cleanliness. The article, brought to my attention by alert reader Bill Ulrey, states that your ye s, YOUR kitchen kitchen - is basically a festering swarm of potentially deadly bacteria . The most interesting part of the article concern s a discovery by a ..f.Jniversity of Arizona micro- biology professor named Dr. Chuck Gerba, who is an expert on household germs. 1 am familiar with. Dr. Gerba, because some years ago I : interviewed him on bathroom cleanliness, and he told me that the only sure way to kill all the bacteria on a toilet is - l am not making this up - to put laboratory alcohol on the bowl and set it on frre. LEGAL ADVISORY Dr. Gerba is a trained bathroom scientist. As a layperson, you must NEVER EVER set your toilet on fire, EVER. Also be advised that it looks much cooler with the light~ out. So anyway, according to the New York Times, Dr. Gerba has found that 'people who had the cleanest-lookmg kitchens were often the dirti• est. Because ' clean' people wipe up so much, they often end up spreading bacteria all over the place. The cleanest kitchens, he said, were in the homes of bachelors, who never wiped up and just put their dirty dishes in the sink." That's right: You so-called "good housekeepers" with your so-called "cleaning" are in fact smearing bacteria around, while we so-called "slobs" are, by courageous inaction, making the world's kitchens safer for everybody. There's no need to thank us. All we ask is a little respect. Al so, while you're sniffing those leftovers; please grab us a be.; r. Sunday,M~~~~~ \ AROUND TOWN Meigs County Briefs VIEW The Blade, Toledo, Ohio, on access to confidential medical records: The Justice Department is tied up in some risky b,usiness in seeking access to the confidential medical records of patients who have undergone a type of late-term abortion. The chief federal judge in Chicago viewed the move with due concern when he threw out a government subpoena against Northwestern Memorial Hospital, saying the request was a "significant intrusion" on patients' privacy that would provide "little, if any, probative value" tCJ the government. Lawyers for .the government insist they need the information to defend a legal challenge to the newly approved federal ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortions. A Justice Department brief before a Manhattan judge argues that "there is no federal common law" protecting physician-patient privileges and, besides, in light of today's medical environment with the growth of thirdparty insurers, "individuals no longer possess a reasonable expectation their histories will remain completely confidential." , Maybe so. But patients still have reasonable expectations that the government will be prevented from poring over their medical records on legal fishing expeditions.

Spring is sprung and so have the gardeners sprung into action wanting to plant their yards and gardens. Ma~y homeowners and commercial vegetable farmers have had their soil ready since last Fall. The ability to access soil in the Spring is vital for early vegetable crops. On a small scale, cold frames help those gardeners that have heavier, clay soils to have those first of the season radishes, lettuce, onions and spinach. A cold frame functions as a mini greenhouse. It is a rectangular box of wood placed on well drained soil and covered with either window sashes or double layer of plastic. Details on construction is available from our office, ask for extension fact sheet # I013, "Construction and Use of Cold Frame and Hot Bed" Now is the time to plant your early cool season crops such as peas, potatoes, cabbage, onions, radishes, beets, spinach and lettuce. Interested in growing unusual crops? Try planting pod peas, Swiss chard, salisfy, parsnips, kohlrabi, collards or kale. If you have not prepared your soil last year, don't spade wet garden soil as it will lead to soil compaction and poor root development. Wait until your soil has dried out. Pick the best drained and sunniest site for your early spring garden. Check out your sandier soils or at least a south or west facing slope for the early garden. Create a raised bed, at· least six inches high or preferably ten to twelve inches high to improve drainage. Cool and wet soils will delay the sprouting of seeds. It is best to sow multiple plantings of early spring I I 13 Hal Kneen vegetables, approximately ten to fourteen days apart. If you need more information our office has several fact sheets to assist you in developing your garden. Fact sheet # 1601- "Fertilizing Vegetable Garden Soils", #1602"lmproving Soils For Vegetable gardening", and #1641 "Raising Bed Gardening". For Meigs County residents remember to plant for the Meigs · County Fair's Horticultural Show on ·August 16th.

In the coming week, Ohio Farm Bureau brings to focus the people behind the industry that make it great - the American Farmer. All too often agriculture is painted in a negative light, in which the farmer is criticized and misunderstood for doing his job. It is easy to forget that without the farmer, we would not have the luxury of food that is not only inexpensive, but readily available. Today in the US, two million people farm or ranch. Of these, almost 90 percent openite as indivic\uals or as family corporations. The American farmer supplies food that feeds 130 people In the US and abroad.

But he fell in love and married the former Mary Steigerwald, and they were married for 42 years until her death in 1998. NewsChannel "My wife and I were always active in the Church," Leonard said. "I even quit my job in 1979 to devote myself to fulltime lay ministry. and watc hed God do some miraculous th ings." Leonard joined the Institute of the Incarn ate Word in Cheverl y, Md., in 1999 and was ordained a transitio nal deacon tn Washin gton, D.C. "Shortly after my wife di ed, I thou ght about the priesth ood, but it didn ' t seem possible because of my age," he said. Leonard said a fr iend told him about the Institute of the Inc arnate Word, which welcomed him with open arms despite his age. Leonard said his superior suggested that he be ordained in Stark County . because "all my family a nd fri ends are here." Tobin said the work of a priest is to proclaim the mystery of Chri st's birth, death and resurrection, to build communities of faith and to serve those communities. "His role as a father does not end with ordination," To bi n said. "As a priest, he will be the spouse of the churc h, which is the bride of C hrist, and become a spiritual father to many in th e Christian faith." One of Leonard's first actions as a priest was to he lp distribute Communion to the more than 500 people who attended the Mass, including members of his family. "He's always bee n acti ve in the church," said Paul Leonard, one of six sons. "When Mom di ed, I just knew he was going." Samuel Leonard al so knew. "It was the most natural thing in the world to become a priest," he said.

COLUMBUS (AP) ·_ A decorated Army reservi st committed suicide in the midst of fighting the city liealth department for a promotion he was promised before being deployed to Afghanistan, a family member said. Lt. Brandon Ratliff was "fed up" and felt he didn't get the respect he deserved, said Cynthia Hellmann, his cousin. , "He received very little support when he came home from the military," Hellmann said Friday. "It all comes down to our military personnel not being treated well during and after their deployment." Ratliff was upset that he couldn't find an attorney to take his case and · fight the city, Hellmann said. He was found dead in his home with a bullet wound to the head on Thursday after sending an e-mail about his troubles to The Columbus Dispatch. Ratliff's death was ruled a suicide, said Sherry Mercurio, spokeswoman for Columbus Police the Department. The Franklin County Coroner's. office said autopsy results won't be available for another six to eight weeks because of the time it takes to process toxicology tests. Ratliff said . he was promised a promotion and a rai se in September 2002 before he left to serve in a medical unit in Afghanistan. But when he returned, the higher-level job had been filled and he was forced to resume his old job, which pays $4,000 less per year. "I didn't think that I'd have to fi ght over there and come back and fight these guys," he said last week. Ratliff was executive officer of the Army Reserve's 909th Forward Surgical Team. The unit provides medical ·care on the front lines, and Ratliff's duties included retrieving wounded soldiers from the battlefield. He was decorated eight times ·a nd at least one award was for bravery, family members said. The Army has no immediate comment, spokeswoman Martha Rudd said Friday. Federal law requires employers to reinstate reservi sts returning from military service to the job they would have attained had they not been absent, according to the National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. They must receive the same seniority, status and pay, as well as other rights determined by seniority. Health department spokeswoman Liane Egle said Ratliff didn't complete the necessary paperwork to for mally accept the promotion before he .left. Egle said the city attorney 's office told the department it di'dn 't have to keep the job open for Ratliff.

Carl Krauser led Pittsburgh with 18 points and Chevon Troutman added 13 on 5for-5 shooting, but the rest of the squad went 4of-26. The victory was Pittsburgh's 30th this season, a school record, and fans threw blue-and-gold confetti as the fmal buzzer sounded. But it's safe to say the Panthers (30-4) won't be devoting too much attention to this one in the record books. Much had been made of Pittsburgh only getting a third seed. But if Central Florida wasn't equally inept, shooting less than 31 percent, the Panthers would likely be heading home. Instead, they advanced to the second round of the East.Rutherford regional where they'll play sixth-seeded Wisconsin on Sunday. The Badgers beat Richmond 76-64. The 14th-seeded Golden Knights (25-6) have one victory over a Top 25 team and are 0-for-3 in the NCAA tournament. But it seemed as if this might be their nisht, especially with the Wisconsin crowd jumpmg on their bandwagon. Whenever the small contingent of Pittsburgh fans started chanting, "Let's go Pitt!" they were quickly drowned out by the Central Rorida and Wisconsin fans. Roberto Morenti 's layup with I 0:07 left gave the Golden Knights a 36-33 lead, but their already sputtery offense fell apart from there.

He already has a third eye - the corporate symbol of his Cyclops spinner engraved in ·ink on his forehead. · But. truth be told, the Lake : Chaweva resident got the tat: too long before he came up . with his spinner bait design. On a whim many years ago, · he had the third eye engraved on a large knot that persisted long after he received a head injury in .a car wreck while a high school student. "Back then, I had plenty of hair to cover it up," he said with a smile , doffing his Bass Pro Shops ball cap to show a receding hairline and a staringright-at-you tattoo. "These days. I need a hat." To give his lures a distinctive fl air, he equipped their spinner blades with eyeball holograms, and packaged them under the "Cyclops" name, he said, " Since I already had the Cyclops eyeball." Cottrill grew up on the shores of Lake Cha weva, where fishing was an integral part of tiis boyhood. "I' ve been making lures since I was a kid," he said. "I .started by tearing apart the store:bought spinners and making them better." A percussionist who spent much of the past 30 years as a professional musician, Cottrill contirmed to tish whenever he had the chance. He eventually settled in Cocoa Beach, Aa., where he owned a music store and honed his bass-catching litCtics. He returned to West Virginia several years ago to care for his late father, an Alzheimer' s patient, and his brother, Robert, who was born with Do.wn syndrome, and recently died at age 54. "That's very old for a person with Downs," Cottrill said, adding that 10 percent of his sales will be donated in his brother's name for Down syndrome research. "I think J.'ve thrown every fishing Iure in the world," he said. "I' ve learned that fish respond to flash and sound. I think mine has more of each, and I think that cast for cast, it will catch more fish." Cottrill said he uses highe;r quality components than other including manufacturers. laser-sharpened, double-plated nickel treble hooks, packaged in a plastic hook bonnet to prevent snags and cuts when being handled. "My spinner blade is a little bigger than average, which makes a little more noise in the water," he added. Cottrill's fiance, Beth Sovick, has also gotten into the fi shing lure business, hand-making her line of Beth's Bling-Biing spinners, featuring a carbon diamond and a variety of colorful jewelry-style beads riding the wire between the spinner's head and tail. The· two work out of a shop in Cottrill's basement, and have assembled about 2,000 lures with which they will hit the state's craft fair and sports show circuit starting later this month. The handmade lures will retail for $3.50 each. (Rick Steelhammer is a writer for the Charleston (W.Va.J Gazette) Group trying to reclaim · wildlife habitat piece at time BY MATT MARKEY For the Associated Press BASCOM - A conservation group hopes to reclaim wildlife habitat a patch at a time by buying land at farm auctions and encouraging farmers to bequeath property. As fence rows and pastures disappear from farmland, wildlife goes without a home. Birds and rabbits and quail and woodchucks get pushed into smaller and smaller sections of habitat, effectively painting them into a corner where it is much easier for predators to ravage them. "So much of whiu is good about our Ohio farmland is disappearing," said Glenn Gillig, a member of the local chapter of Pheasants Forever. "When the crops come off, some places that used to be full of wildlife and habitat now look like the surface of the moon." Large patches of meadow grasses no longer break up the tilled plots in the rolling farmland near where Gillig grew up in northern Ohio. Long lines of brushy hardwoods no longer separate one field from another. They were removed as it became more difficult to make a profit from agriculture, to allow farmers to till more land. For years, Pheasants Forever has provided information to farmers and landowners on how to efficiently work their land and still save the wildlife. They donate the seed and provide the equipment and labor to plant thousands of acres in cover and feed grasses each year. Often those plots are subsequently tilled under and returned to agricultural production. "We decided we needed to find ways to create permanent habitat, not temporary patches . here and there," Gillig said. Gillig and about a dozen other members set their sights on acquiring land they could set aside in perpetuity as havens of sanctuary for wildlife. It turned out to be a much more ambitious task than they envisioned. After raising money through recycling, raffles and an annual banquet, the group started to go to farm auctions to buy tracts of land. "Every time we got close to getting land, we got shot down," Gillig said. "Over and over, we thought we had the bid, then the price would push up again and again. Everybody started to think this was impossible." But the recycling "efforts continued, and over about I 0 years almost $20,000 was raised. And last month , Seneca County Pheasants Forever bought a 14-acre piece of ground from the estate sale of Gerald Redfox, a longtime conservationist who died two years ago . . Redfox had a farm of more than 100 acres. Once the tillable land was parceled off and the house was sold, a rough tract of thick meadow grasses along a branch of Honey Creek was left. It is not good farmland, but it makes ideal habitat for wildlife. "It's small, but it's a start," said Gillig, who grew up on a farm near New Riegel but now works in an auto plant in Fostoria. "We hope this gets the ball rolling." Gillig's group paid $32,000 for the land, using the money it raised and gifts from other estates. After the land is enhanced with nesting areas and feed grasses, it will be turned over to the county soil and water agency to be preserved as wildlife habitat forever. The group hopes to simply restore habitat, allowing all native creatures to survive- and then thrive. "Once you have the land, it is as simple as giving wildlife a good place to live, and then leaving them alone," Gillig said. He said that while the group hopes to buy more land, it will focus its efforts on persuading farm owners to designate certain parcels as habitat in their wills, and therefore prevent it from being carved up for other uses in the ' future. "If someone chooses to donate a piece of land as a family memorial, then you have that nice tribute to the ·family forever, and you have provided a habitat that we know wildlife will use for at least that long," Gillig said. Deering Dyer, director of political education for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in Columbus, said the group supports the right of people to buy and sell land. However, the federation prefers to see farm land stay in agriculture . "We encourage conservation practices, and sometimes the establishment of wildlife habi- . tat is a part of that," he said. "We encourage good partnership with organizations like Pheasants Forever and other conservation groups." t The tract on Honey Creek should be teaming with rabbits, songbirds, ground hogs, field mice and the occasional white-tailed deer by this summer, Gillig said. He sees it as more symbolic than anything else, but also as the foundational building block for the effort to preserve habitat. "Is this one piece of ground going to mean a dramatic change in our habitat crisis? Certainly not. But it shows that a small gro11p of people make a difference," Gillig said. can W.Va. rifle member named NRA All-American MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A member of West Virginia's rifle club has been named an All-American by the National Rifle Association. Senior Nicole Allaire earned her fourth straight AllAmerican award and her second at West Vir~inia after the NCAA championships this week in Murray, Ky. She transferred to West Virginia from Nebraska in 200 I. The NRA bases its AllAmerican selections on season averages, and considers competitors on both varsity and club teams. "I find it very impressive she was able to keep her scores among the best in the country, given the difficulties faced this year," said Marsha Beasley, the rifle club's adviser and West Virginia's former rifle coach. West Virginia, which has won a record 13 team national championships in rifle, dropped the sport last year because of financial concerns. The remaining participants formed the rifle club in September. ' SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) Cincinnati Reds ri ght-hander D.J.

The soft-spoken 27-year-old ri ghthander has been one of the better setup men in the Ameri can League the last three years. On Thursday, however, Ri ske was asked to begin th e seaso n as Cleveland's closer when it was di scovered th at veteran ri ght-hander Bob Wickman wo uld miss at least the first half of the season because of a sprained ligament in his right elbow. With Riske 's contract expiring after this season , a big year could pay off for him. Successful closers are rare in the major leagues and are paid accordingly. But Riske wasn' t all smiles about the promotion. "Of course I want to be a closer, but I sure didn ' t want to see Wickie get hurt," Riske said. "I was pre pared to be the setup guy all year. I hadn' t projected this in my mind at all." Riske was also asked to close during the final six weeks of the 2003 season had been expected to contend for one of Cincinnati 's two open spots in the starting rotation. The 6-2, 195-pound pitcher spent the 2003 season at Class AA Binghamton, where he went 8-7 with a 3.49 ERA in 20 starts and one relief appearance. In 2002, he was the Mets minor league pitcher of the year after going 12-6 with a 3.29 ERA in 26 starts at Class A Columbia and St. Lucie.

' �PageC2 YOUR HOMETOWN Sunday, March iunbmp tn:imes -ientind 21, 2004 'THE INDIAN SCHOOL' Three 'must-do' steps to work toward successful investing You've probably seen plenty of magazines featuring pictures of allluent-lookinj; peopl.e .who have "made tt big' m mvesu ng. While these photos may grab our attention, the arttcles can be more illuminating -because, if they're honest, they will usually reveal that those investors who supposedly "hit the jackpot" actual ,Iy earned their prosperity by diligentl y following a fe w simple steps over many years. And you, too, can make the same moves. What ar~ these "secrets to success?" Here are three to consider: • Create a plan: If you don't have an investment plan, you are susceptible to making all kinds of costly mistakes. For example, you may be tempted to chase after "hot" stocks ~ on!y to dis-. cover that, by the time you buy them, they are already cooling off. Or, you may mndomly invest in a stock here. a bond there, a CD next month. a Treasury bi II next year, and so on. Bllt you won't increase your chances of success j ust by adding more and more investment~. That's why you need to create an investlllent plan that's based on your risk tolenmce, your specific goals and your time horizon. By purring together a diversified array of !Ughquality stocks, bond~. and other vehicles, you may be able to make steady progress toward your objectives. You can draw up this type of plan by yourself. or course, but you may find it ea~ier and more productive - to work with a financial professional who knows your situation and who can make objecti ~e recommendations. ... I • Keeping investment performance in perspective: Many people make one of two mistakes when it comes to tracking their investments. They either forget about what they own, or they zealously follow every single price movement, large or small. Both of these moves can be troublesome. If yo u pay absolutely no · atte ntion to what yo U: ve invested in, you could some- II Claims Courts Ohio's At one point or another during their lives, most people will have the occasion to be "taken for a ride" hy someone else. You shouldn't feel bad if it happens to you. Sometimes it's simply unavoidable. However, all too often, J»Jple are willing to torego their rights to obtain a legal remedy for their grievances because they feel that the process is simply too complicated or not worth their time and effort. To help the citizens of Ohio to resolve minor disputes fairly, quickly, and inexpensively, the Ohio legislature, in all its wisdom, created the "small claims court." Muoh to my chagrin, no one is required to have a lawyer in small drums cases; however. you are entitled to legal representation if you so wish, and in some circumstances legal representation may be wise. There are many types of ca'ieS that can be brought in small claims court. Landlord-tenant disputes, suits for unpaid bills, suits for damages sustained in minor accidents, and suits involving unpaid wages are just a few of the many kinds of disputes that can appropriately be OOdressed in a small claims proceeding. However, claims cannot exceed the jurisdictional limit of $3,00) and must be for money damages only. Also, corporations, because they are regarded as legal entities independent of the owners. must use an attorney to bring suit Individuals can always represent themselves. The first step in getting your own personal shot ot justice is to determine which court is the apprUprlate one in which to file. A small claims court has 'jurisdiction" if the transaction or incident on which your claim is based took place in that court's geographical tenitocy. You could also file in the small claims court of the county in which the defendant resides, or •* - April Rice James Henry has his, her, or its principal place of business. Once the clerk receives yow· complaint, he or she will send notification of the complaint to the defendant and set a court date tor the matter to be heard. The procedure will be relaxed in the small claims court. However, you will still need to organize and present to the judge or magistmte evidence that support' your theory of your ca~e. This may include your own testimony, the testimony of others, and physical evidence, such as photos, documents or the mer, chandise in question. In other words, you can use just about anything that will help you to prove your ca~e to the judge. The Important thing is to assemble your evidence, contact your witnesses, and envision how you will go about proving your case before you enter the courtroom. Sometimes a small claims ca-;e will involve only the testimony of the plaintiff'and defendant Other times, tl1ecasecan get rather complicated with counterclaims and many witnesses on both sides. If your case is complicated, a good way to present your version of the incident or transaction is to present the testimony describing what took place in the sequence that the event actually unfolded. At the he<uing, both sides will present their evidence to the judge. The judge may ask questions to clarity hJS or her understanding of what took place. The judge will make hi ~ or her decision after hearing both sides. If you fail to apperu at the hearing, you might immediately lose regmrlless of the merits of your claim or defense. If a party does not show llll at the scheduled hearing, the J~ can. and quite possibly will, decide the ca1e in favor of the party who attended the he<uing. If you win your claim, the other pwty will be ordered to pay the JUdgment amount Ah, if only life were so simple. Often, you will need to take adell· tiona! steps to collect your judgment. It rna~ be necessary to attach the JUdgment debtor's property or to garnish his or her wages.'The easiest way to find the judgment debtor's property is to have the court order the ~udgment debtor to answer a que~tionnaire that will include mf9rmation ·about his or her property or finances. To obtain one of these judgment debtor examinations. you must first wait thirty days. If the jud~ment debtor has not paid in that l:!me, you can obtain a court order directing the judgment debtor to supply the requested information .. Fiom there, you can garnish wages, attach personal property, or file a jud2rnent lien on the judgment delltor's real estate. In any event. the persistent victor will find the legal system to be less fiustrating than one who stops at obtaining a judgment. Remember, !he court will not collect your debt for you.

On the other hand. if you are constantly fretting about price movements, you ' II be tempted to make haste "buy" and "sell" decisions that ultimately may work against you. Instead of following eithe r of these paths, look for a middle ground. Be aware of how your investments are performing, but always keep this performance in perspective.

The bottom line'/ Review your portfolio regularly - at least once . a year. Evaluate how your investments have done in the recent past and what they may do in the' coming month s and years.

You'd think Mortensen would be tired of riding a horse by now - and sore but he's back in the saddle again, this time playing a real guy, cowboy Frank T. Hopkins. (Not that Aragorn ,isn't a real guy. of course. Settle down, hobbits.) A famed long-distance rider, Hopkins competed with his mustang. Hidalgo, in a 3,000-mile race across the Arabian desert in 1890. And he was the unexpected winner. eve n though he was the first American to take part in the event. known ominously as the Ocean of Fire. His story has resulted in a big, beautiful film that could have come out 40 years ago, full of horses and camels and scorpion s, with blinding sun and brutal terrain. The Ameri can underdog is the unequi vocal good guy and all the Arabs are baddies, and there 's no doubt who will win in the end. But despite the sweeping 'Vistas and dazzling sunsets. it's hard not to be distracted by how derivative director Joe Johnston 's film is. There · are giant chunks taken from the "Indiana Jones" movies, especially in Mortensen's permanently cheeky manner as he navigates his way through various sandswepl adventures. "Lawrence of Arabia" obviously springs to mind, especially with Omar Sharif playing the powerful Sheikh Ri yadh, against whose horses Hopkins is competing. (It is marvelous, though. to see Sharif's formidable presence on the big screen again after nearly a decade-long absence, and the role is a perfect fit.) Hopkins' journey from post-Wounded Knee inebriation to self-possessed steeliness in a foreign land recalls Tom Crui se in "The Last Samurai" (which recalled Kevin Costner in "Dances With Wolves"). A suffoca ting sandstorm and an attack of locu sts, while impressive, are reminiscent of the Brendan Fraser "Mummy" movies. And comparisons to another film based on a true story, "Seabiscuit", are inevitable: The rider is too big and the horse is too small, and no one thinks they can wiR against a sea of vastly superior animals. Among their adversaries is Lady Davenport (Loui se Lombard), a snooty British horsewoman who seems to have schlepped her entire bedroom out to the desert for maximum cbmfort while following her rider's progress. She also tries to coax Hopkins into that bedroom, with little success; besides, he's secrelly attracted to the sheikh's feisty daughter, Jazira (Zuleikha Robinson), who wants to jump on the back of a horse and compete, too. The race itself, ironically, is the most boring part of a film that's too often sluggishly paced. After the riders bolt from the starting line at full speed and leave the spectators' sight, they slow to a walk across the merciless expanses of sand. It's hard to understand why Hopkins would subject himself to such torture - not because Mortensen is incapable of bringing him to life, but because John Fusco's script doesn't give him much to work with. There's no fire in Hopkins' belly, no compulsion to fight. Though Mortensen was the king of the "Rings" movie s, he was one part of an enormous ensemble. This is his first shot at playi~g the lead, and he has the piercing eyes. rugged good looks and quiet intensity for the role. Hidalgo himself, by the way, is no slouch in the acting department. He whinnies and grunts and looks soulful at all the right moments. You almost expect him to open his mouth and talk - after all , he is a Disney horse but "Hidalgo" is too true to its old-school heritage to let him do that . " Hidalgo," a Touchstone Pictures release, is rated PG13 for adventure violence and some mild innuendo. Running time: 136 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Sunday Times-Sentinel Charlie Kaufman: Hollywood's recl~sive scribe - with unusual power and influence LOS ANGELES <APJ Jim Carrey only needed to hear three wonJs to know he wanted to act in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - and they weren't "twenty million dollars.'' Carrey, who agreed to drop his usual megasalary to play a dejected man who ha~ a broken love affair era~ed from his brain, was lured to the tilm with the phmse "by Charlie Kaufman.' " I was given the script. They just said, 'Charlie Kaufman.· And I'm like, 'OK, where do I sign?'" Carrey told The Associated Press. '·I mean. it's just to be part of his legacy.

He's never even had a m<~or box-office hit, but the Hollywood scribe has distinguished himself with a uippy brund of comically gloomy storytelling that often blurs the hnes between reality and fantasy. The writer's breakthrough came in 1999 with "Beino John Malkovich," in which Kaufman used real-life actor John Malkovich as the subject of a surreal tanta>y about a little office door that leads into Malkovich's mind. "I think genemlly I'm kind of interested in su~jective _expenence, what goes on mstde someone's head, that being all they really know of the world." the 45-year-old Kautinan said in an interview.

JOB FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Move over, New Beetle. There's a new, lowest-priced convertible on the market. Arriving in showrooms in time for spring, Chrysler's 2005 PT Cruiser Convertible has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $19,995. This undercuts the Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible, which starts at $21.475, and will help ensure that Chrysler, which is introducing two new convertibles this calendar year, "will be No. I in total convertible sales in 2004," according to Jeff Bell, vice president of Chrysler/Jeep marketing. The second convertible, due closer to summer, is the open top version of the Chrysler Crossfire. The new PT convertible also should help put a spark in . sales of the PT Cruiser hatchback, which debuted in spring 2000 as a retromuch-sought:after, styled vehicle . but whose sales have declined. Last year, for example, sales of 107,75.9 PT Cruisers were off 25 .5. . perc · cent from the 'peak 144,717 PT sales in calendar 2001. Consumers have been asking about a PT convertible ever since the automaker displayed a "design study" model at the 2001 New York auto show. The new, four-passenger production version retains the retro styling of the current PT ,hatchback, bUt with two fewer doors. The · convertible has two long doors, rather than the four .doors of the hatchback, so watch as you open them in parking lots. There also is a 7 A-cubicfoot trunk now, not a liftgate at ·the · rear. The trunk lid only opens to a low, mostly horizontar position, so I found myself bending over to look and grab things inside the trunk. :But the PT convertible's cian or call Debbie Barcus for assistance at 740.446.5424 Things you need to know about DIABETES' Lisa Reaves, MD Ophthalmologist Holzer Clinic announces the addition of Ophthalmologist, Lisa Hirai Reaves, MD.

"" fold-down-and-tumble rear seats can expand cargo space to a commendable 13.3 cubic feet, enough for as many as two golf bags. The vehicle has been extensively revised to serve as a solid-riding, shakeresistant soft top model. Officials said the work entailed · changes from the windshield pillar on back and involved such things as new "smart" glass windows, strengthened rear seat structure, re-tuned suspension components and even a novel "sport bar" that extends, wing-like, above the rear seat area. This bar also serves to direct air over and beyond the rear seat for less wind buffeting for passengers. The PT convertible "is not a coupe with a top chopped off," said Larry Lyons, vice president of small vehicle product team engineering. But the PT convertible does share the same engines and transmissions as well as basic suspension setup _ MacPherson struts in front and twist axle beam with Watt's linkage in back _ of the PT hatchback. It has the same platform and overall size, too. In fact, during the . test drive, the PT convertible _ with almost-bustled-at-theback 1 fabric top _ didn't draw attention, except from people driving PT hatchbacks. Other drivers paid no mind. The tester was the midrange Touring Edition with optional 2.4-liter, turbocharged, double overhead cam four cylinder. It produces 180 horses, up from the 150 of the base, non-turbo engine, and 210 foot-pounds between 2,800 rpm and 4,500 rpm, up from the 165 at 4,000 rpm. There are two available manual transmissions, but the tester had the fourspeed automatic transmission. The engine worked well to power the convertible, which weighs. at least 150 pounds more than a PT hatchback. The response from the engine wasn't instantaneous, but the lag was slight when I would press the accelerator and seek to move aggressively. There also is a second, more powerful turbo _ a 220-horse, high-output turbocharged, 2.4-Jiter four with 245 foot-pounds of torque between 2,400 rpm and 4,500 rpm. This is available in the convertible GT model. In comparison, the New Beetle Convertible offers two engines: a liS-horsepower, 2-liter, naturally aspirated four cylinder, capable of 125 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm; and a 150-horse, 1.8-liter, turbocharged four that can generate 162 foot-pounds of torque at b~;tween 2,200 rpm and 4,200 rpm. The New Beetle weighs slightly less than the PT Cruiser Convertible. Fuel economy in the test PT convertible was rated at 20 miles a gallon in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway. Regular unleaded is the recommended gasoline. Beyond the retro look and the lwo turbos, though, the most impressive part of the PT convertible is the solid ride. I looked for the characteristic convertible shudder as I traversed road bumps, and found precious little evidence of it. This is especially true when the top is up. Just about all I saw was a bit of shake at the rearview mirror when I went over bad railroad crossing's. This front-drive tester rode on standard 16-inch wheels and tires. There was some wind and road noise, but nothing that prevented me from conversing with passengers, even wilh the top down. The three-layer fabric top, available in black or taupe, is easy to put down. First, grab hold of the circular handle at the front of the roof and turn it to release the two latches at the windshield. Then, push a button so the "smart glass" windows drop a bit _ or all the way, if you prefer _ and watch as the fabric top, with glass rear window, folds down and stows at the back. Lastly, haul the the top's boot, or cover, out of the trunk and install it. There are two snaps to hold it in place. Even with the boot on, though, the top sort of sits up at the back of the vehi- cle and doesn't allow a clean rear view. The mechanical process reverses when you put the top up. Seats in this convertible are upright and supportive and a welcome surprise because they don't sit close to the floor. Rather, they're up a bit, with the second-row seats up even higher than the front ones for a theatre seating effect. As a result, riders don't drop down into the vehicle and they have a sense that, while it's still difficult to see around vans and trucks in front, they're not riding way low to the pavement, either. But the large rear window pillar still blocks the driver's view out to the back and side. And the sport bar as well as sizable front head restraints reduce visibility for back-seat riders. Note that window buttons are in the center stack of the dashboard, not on the doors. l liked that the retro styling is retained inside the PT convertible as parts of the dashboard sport plastic pieces that coordinate with the exterior paint. It's not as difficult as it looks to get to the back seat, especially if you use the front-passenger door to get in. The front seat slides forward a good way. But rear-seat headroom of 36.4 inches is less than the New Beetle Convertible's 37.2 inches. · The New Beetle has more front headroom, too. Note that the PT convertible's front and rear headroom also are less than the PT hatchback's. With a height of 60.6 inches, the convertible is not as tall as the 63-inch-high hatchback . Chrysler's Bell expects high-output-turthe bocharged GT to account for about 30 percent of PT convertibles sold. He declined to provide convertible sales projections and said buyers are likely to be "younger" than the PT hatchback's buyer, who's in the mid-40s. Chrysler also looks for more women to buy the convertible than the 45 percent who have been buying the hatchback. Because the PT Cruiser Convertible is a new model, Consumer Reports does not list a reliability rating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not . have crash test ratings for the PT convertible. The NHTSA reports no safety recafls of this new vehicle: On the Net: National Highway Traffic Safery Adminisrration: h rtp :l/www. nhrsa.dot.gov/ Insurance f11stit11te for Highway Safety: htrp:l/www. hi ghwaysafe· ty.orgl �• iunbap otimtl·itntinel HEAI.TH & FITNESS Former Mount Sinai doctor comes to Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) The former director of a donor liver tran splant program in New York who left his position after the death of a donor in 2002 will take over the liver transplant program at the Cleveland Clinic, an official of the Cleveland hospital said. Dr. Charles Miller. 51. performed the tirst liver transplant in New York in 1988 and later the state's first living-donor transplant . He left The Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institution of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine following the January 2002 death of Michael Hurewitz, who died three days after donating a portion of his liver to his brother. A subsequent investigation by the New York State Department of Health identit1ed no problems during the operation but did conclude that the patient did not receive appropriate care following surgery, said Dr. Antonia Novello. health comm issioner. Mount Sinai was cited for 18 deficiencies and fined $48,000 by the department. whi ch also ordered a sixmonth suspension of ·the adult living-donor li ver transplant program. Miller said the program was closed after Hurewitz's death . Dr. Kenneth Ouriel. chairman of the Division of Surgery at the Cleve land Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt.

Bio-Rad Laboratories based in HercuJes, Calif.. said its test could be used in the Agriculture Department's main animal testing laboratory as well as in a network of faciEties around the nation that the department will approve. The department had said previou sly that it would expedite lice nsing of the tests, but it had no immediate comment on the company 's announcement. The test checks for the presence of misshapen proteins, called prion>. thai cause the brain-wasting disease. It can give results in four hours and is almost I 00 percent accurate, said Brad Crutchfield, the Bio-Rad's vice president of life sciences. If the rapid test results at regional laboratories do not rule out the presence of the prions, tissue samples would be sent to USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames. Iowa. for continnation. The results of such examinations can take a week. Department ofticials announced on Tuesday that they planned a I 0-told increase in the number of cattle tested tor mad cow disease in response to discovery of the nation 's tirst case of the disease last December.

Before the di scovery of the sick Holstein in December, only the department's laboratory in Ames could run tests. USDA used to target 20,000 animals a year for testing. The new target is 10 times hi gher - at least 220.000 cattle, ages I to 18 month s.

"Because many chronic GI conditions begin m midlife and continue into old age, their prevalence will increase as the U.S. population continues to age," MarketResearch reported in a 2003 market assessment. · Prilosec OTC is the overthe-counter version of AstraZeneca LP's prescription Prilosec, which had been a market leader. Sales slipped last year after a generic prescription version began selling for a little less than the cost of prescription Prilosec. Because P&G had to conduct e11tensi ve new research to persuade U.S. regulators to allow over-the-counter sales of Prilosec, P&G was permitted three years of marketing exclusivity before its generic competitor can be sold without a prescription. Prilosec is among the generation of stomach remedies known as proton pump inhibitors, de stgned to block acid secretions by turning off some of the mini-pumps in the stomac h that produce it . 72 73 74 76 n 79 80 82 84 85 86 87 88 90 91 92 95 Q8 Newspaper employees (abbr.)
