COLUMBUS (AP) - The · first time the mother of the highway shootings suspect found a gun in the house she shared with her son, she and her ex-husband confiscated it without say ing anything. The reason: they worried about the mental state of their son, Charles A. McCoy Jr. " He probably would have been upset because of his ill~ess." McCoy's father said Tuesday during a court hearing. Relatives and police have said McCoy is mentally ill. A lawyer has said McCoy 's competency could be an issue in the case. .

O'Brien said he had no reason to believe they wouldn't continue to cooperate. O'Brien· said he expects an indictment within a week.

At an Interior Department hearing that had the anger of a political rally and overtones of a religious revival, 42 foes of the rule change de.scribed mountaintop mining as everything from "the epitome of irresponsible mining" to \'environmental rape" and "economic in sanity." Chelana McCoy of.Sumerco told officials of the Office of Surface Mining to ponder the fate CJf blasted mountains, water quality and citizens ' health when considering the rule change. " I ask you to look in yout hearts and ask yourselVes, 'Is this right?'," McCoy said. "I pray we can look beyond the dollars. A job ain't going to replace a life and the souls here on this earth." The department in January proposed easing a 1983 rule that sets limits on coal mining near streams. Current policy says mining cannot disturb land within I00 feet of a stream unless a company can prove it will not affect the water's quality and quantity. The new rule, which !he Office of Surface Mining has described as a "clarification," would require coal operators to minimize only "to the extent possible" any damage to streams, fish and wildlife by "using the best teclwology currently available." Department otftcials have said the current policy js impossible to comply with during mountaintop removal mining, which involves shearing off the tops of ridges to expose a coal seam. Dirt and rock are pushed below, often in stream beds, a practice known as valley .{i ll. . In an overheated Civic Center conference room crammed with about I00 peopie, only two of 44 speakers spoke in favor of the new rule: Bill Raney of the West Virginia Coa! Association and a Charleston lawyer who represents coal companies. The change would "make clear what litigation has muddied," said Bob McLuskey of Jackson & Kelly. The rule originally intended to 01inimize environmental damage from soil displaced by surface mining, he said. In West Virginia, he said, that usually means putting such fill in valleys . "It's incredible that anyone could interpret this rule to prohibit the very valley filling that was intended to protect the environment in the first place," McLuskey said . · Other speakers demanded that the department drop its proposal and more vigorously enfbrce current law. 0\her hearings on the issue were held Tuesday in Washington, D.C.; Greentree, Pa.; Hazard, Ky.; and Harriman, Tenn. In Charleston, citizens rejected the argument that mountaintop mining provides needed jobs and cOlil for fuel, saying the practice takes few workers compared to underground mining while causing stream pollution, scarred land and· erosioncaused floods. "Cheap energy? For whom?" asked Freda Williams of Whitesville. "We have paid too high ajrice where we live." When Janet Foul of Huntington trie to play a tape of bird calls tram spring peepers, saying slie was "speaking for the life that is going to be lost," she was cut off by Tom Morgan, an OSM official overseeing the hearing. · As two police officers turned off her microphone, audience ~embers responded with fury, yelling "Shame !" and "Shut up, Morgan! " Morgan said the hearing was to allow citizens only to make comments on the rule, adding, "That tape had no bearing on our rule-making process." Winnie Fox of Huntington cited the old mining practice of sending canaries into coal shafts to check for noxious fumes, . telling Morgan, "Coal miners have been listening to birds for centuries. You' re probably a nic~· man, but you need to learn to listen to birds." · · In the Washington, D.C., hearing at an Interior Department auditorium, more West Virginia residents told tales of floods, flattened peaks and. homes S\\\ept awaygor devalued. More than two dozen speakers opposed the" plan, while only a . · lawyer for the National Mining Association praised it. Mary Miller of Sylvester· said the value of her home had dropped from $144,000 to below $12,000. Residents in her coalfield town, which is home to one of the largest mountaintop removal sites in West Virginia, won economic damages last month suing a mining company over coal dust covenng their homes, vehicles and other property. Melody Flowers, a Harvard University graduate student who grew up in Barboursville, said, "We're the ' Mountain State' - we're not the ' Reclaimed Strip Mine State \}'here You Can Build an Air Park or a Mall State.' .

Everybody and their . grandpa warned the president that AI Qaeda was going to hijack airplanes on Tuesday morning Sept. II, 200 I, to destroy the World Trade Center and gouge a hole in the Pentagon. Yet the Republican did nothing to prevent the attacks, to spare the lives of nearly 3,000 innocents. That's the impression one ge,ts from news accounts of hearings this week by the federal commission investigating the Sept. II , 200 I terror attacks. It's as if Osama bin Laden dropped Bush an e-mail detailing his plan to remake the Manhattan skyline, and the commander-in-chief just shrugged it off. There clearly is an effort afoot by thos.e who would like to see Bush turned out of office - including, one suspects, most of the reporters covering the 9/11 commission hearings - to raise doubts in the minds of the American people about the president's prosecution of the war on terror. The Bush haters fear that if the presidential election is won or lost on the issue of terror, the Republican will prevail. They are worried by surveys showing . that Americans believe that Bush would do a better job fighting terrorism than John Kerry, the Democratic pres, idential nominee (by a landslide 56 percent to 33 percent margin, according to Joseph Perkins the latest Newsweek poll). So the president's detractors are trying to turn Sept. II around on him . They are disinforming the public that Bu sh somehow had advanced knowledge of the terror attacks, but did litile to nothing to stop them. Of course, that's an absurd notion. The Sept. II terror attacks almost certainly would have occurred whether Bush was in the White House or AI Gore. That's because AI Qaeda was girding for holy war against America long before Bush was sworn into office. And if Osama's terror network was to be thwarted before it could execute its attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., the pre-emptive measures should have been taken during the eight years that Bill Cli nton was in the Oval Office. Indeed, in 1993, a terror attack on the World Trade Center killed six people and injured more than I ,000. Had Clinton responded to that first attack upon the World Trade Center the way Bush responded to the second, maybe the second never would have occurred. .'

It's this time of year when the nights are below freezing and the daytime temperature gets above freezing that the sap starts running in j the maple trees. Each tree along our long, Courier and lves drive will have three or four tin buckets hanging from the spi le s - oh yeah, no they won't. Nobody uses buckets anymore. They might have I 0 years ago or . ·· maybe even seven years ago, but now the trees are all c . tapped with bright blite flexible plastic tubing that gets connected and reconnected as lhe sap runs downhill into bigger and bigger pJ.astic tubes, which all funnel right i1,1to a big, thousand-gallon )lolding tank. Where's the romance in that? I miss the ., buckets. 'Yeah? I miss 'em, too,' said Dennis, the man who taps our trees. 'I miss being . out in 2 feet of snow trying to juggle two buckets of s~p into a collection tank. I miss walking along with a bucket full of sap i"n each hand and then having one foot suddenly sink an extra foot into the snow slopping ice cold, . sticky sap down my pants . and into . my boot. I miss doing that every spring for ! Jim Mullen two weeks. Sometimes the snow was so deep, we couldn't even get out.' I was about to say 'What about the romance?' but I didn't want to get that look from him that he saves for particularly dense flatlanders. Dennis and Barb are dairy farmers, and for years the maple syrup they made provided them with a little extra income. 'Some years,' Barb told me, 'the only extra money we had came from the sugaring business.' It's hard 'enough to milk 70 cows twice .a day for nothing, but to have to collect the sap, chop enough wood to evaporate down 40 gallons of sap into one gallon of syrup, bottle it and sell it is almost an insane amount of y;ork. They sell the syrup, maple candy . and maple cream at the farmer's market during the summer and from a little shop on their property. At least once every market day some city person will ask why pure maple syrup costs $35 a gallon. Dennis figures it's useless to explain the concept of hard. work to them, they wouldn't get it. So he just says, 'The profit!' Dennis has I ,200 taps out this year. He'd like more, but the snow was deep this year. All the plastic tubes from the trees run into a gigantic Rube Goldberg contraption in a brand new 200-footlong industrial-looking building he's built across the road from his old, tiny wooden s4gar shack. The shack where he and Barb and the kids used to stay up all night feeding logs on the fire to evaporate the sap. The new evaporator is oilheated, there are drains and flow pipes and filters and cleaners everywhere. You have to be a NASA scientist to figure it out, but basically the clear sap from all their trees runs in one end and light-gold maple syrup runs out the other. ·Nothing is added, and the only thing 1 removed is water. Sugaring, as they call the Wi.tness: Nichols spread am·monium nitrafe·on lawn two days after bombing McALESTER, Okla. (AP) - Two days after the O~lahoma City bomb·ing, Terry Nichols hurriedly spread ammonium nitrate fertilizer on his brown, weed-strewn lawn, a woman testified Tuesday at Nichols' murder trial. Ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil were used in the bomb that destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building on April 19, 1995, killing 168 people. Prosecutors contend the fertilizer that · Gladys Wendt saw Nichols spreading was left-over bomb-making material. Wendt, 81, said she was across the street in her cousin's home when she watched Nichols spread the fertilizer on his lawn on April 21, 1995. She said she was familiar with the material and had used it in her own garden. Nichols held a clear plastic container full of fertilizer in one arm and reached in with the other to spread it around the . patchy lawn surrounding his Kansas home. Wendt said he appeared to be "in a hurry." The fertilizer ·was "snow white, real white - looked like sleet," she said. "I almost told him he was putting too much on because he was going to bum his yard and his flowers all up." Wendt, who suffers from diabetes and has impaired vtston, could not identify Nichols in the CO.\]rtroom. But defense attorney Brian Hermanson stipulated the man she saw spreading the fertilizer that day was Nichols. Nichols is on trial on 161 state charges of murder, and prqsecutors are seeking the death penalty. He is already serving a life sentence on federal charges in the attack. Prosecutors allege Nichols and Timothy McVeigh gathered components for the fertilizer-and-fuel-oil bomb and built it. McVeigh was convicted of federal murder charges and executed in 200 I. The defense plans to show Nichols was a patsy for a shadowy group of conspirators, possibly including members of the white supremacist and anti-government group Aryan Republican Army. Later Tuesday, a former gun show merchant who knew McVeigh testified he was looking for explosives seven months before the bombing. McVeigh telephoned Gregory Pfaff twice in late 1994 seeking detonation cord, Pfaff said. Records admitted at Nichols' trial indicate the calls were placed from Nichols' Kansas home with a calling card linked to Nichols. Prosecutors allege explosive detona- tion cord was among the components used in the 4,000-pound ammoniumnitrate-and-fuel-oil bomb that destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building. Pfaff, of Harrisonburg. Va.. said McVeigh telephoned him Sept. 29, 1994, and asked him for detonation cord. "I told him I'd see what I can do," Pfaff testified. But he said he never planned to se ll McVeigh the material. He said it is hi ghly regulated and difficult to ship. Pfaff said he told McVeigh · that it in a second phone call Oct. I, 1994. "When I cou ldn't provide him with what he needed. the conver,ation ended rather abruptl y." he said. A worker at a Kansas rock quarry testified detonat ion cord and other explosives were discovered stolen Oct. 3, 1994. Allen Radtke, a driller and blaster at a Martin Marietta quarry near Marion, Kan., said the explosives, including several hundred bl asting caps. were stolen from locked magazines at the quarry 25 miles from Nichols' home in Herington, Kan. Radtke said detonation cord photographed in the basement of Nichols' home three day s after the bombing appeared to be the same kind that was stolen from the quarry. Doctors attack law as banning most second-term abortions . NEW YORK (AP) - At closely watched abortion trials across the country Tuesday, one doctor said he will risk breaking a new law banning some abortions and another said he fears he will be prosecuted for doing a form of abortion "I consider safer." At trials in New York, San Francisco and Lincoln, Neb., lawyers for abortion rights advocates are putting doctors on the witness stand to support their claim that the law, signed by President Bush in November, is unconstitutional. The doctors dispute many of the conclusions Congress reported reaching during eight years of research about a form of abortion that is carried out just as a live fetus is brought partially out of a woman's body. Government lawyers say the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act prohibits an "inhu- mane and gruesome procedure" that causes pain to the fetus and is never necessary to protect the health of a woman because there are proven and safe.alternatives. The government maintains that the ban would affect as few as several thousand abortions annually, while lawyers for plaintiffs say 130,000 of the 1.3 million abortions performed ·annually in the United States may be affected. The law is the first substantial limitation on abortion since the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision. The cases appear likely to reach the high court . In Lincoln, Neb ., Dr. William Fitzhugh, of Richmond, Va ., testified Tuesday that he would "probably continue" performing abortions even if the law is upheld. "I ' d have to take my chances," he testified. In New York, Dr. Amos Grunebaum said he had "fears of being prosecuted and having to face imprisonment" for a law so poorly written that even some miscarriages might· violate it. Grutiebaum, a specialist in maternal fetal medicine at New York Hospital, said he fears that after 30 years of practicing medicine and after performing I ,000 abortions , "[ would go to prison for doing a procedure I consider safer." · He said the law was so vague that it could outlaw virtually any type of abortion performed during the second trimester because the fetus is sometimes still alive as it is brought outside the body. He said the process of pulling the fetus partially out of the woman's body and then puncturing the skull to collapse the soft tissue and CttJcWNAl1 ~. ~- process, is no longer a sideline.

He con firmed it was pinkeye , gave her some eye drops to use, and told her stay out of school until the eye was clear. What exactly is pinkeye, and why did she have to stay out of school? The following week her brother got pinkeye. Did he get it from her?

And that could explain why the Blue Devils have reacheC: this stage in I0 of th.e last 19 seasons. . Krzyzewski said it's not a matter of "selling" a player on staying. "It's a shared vision," he said. "It's what's best for the player. I believe getting a taste of college is important." . Thus, for every Corey Maggette - the star who left after his freshman year in 1999 - Krzyzewski gets lots of guys like Duhon, a gritty senior who is gutting it through a painful rib injury in the tournament in hopes of capping off his career with another title. "He 's my first option. He conveys what I would like to have out on the court really well," Krzyzewski said. Likewise, for every Okafor at Connect icut an AllAmerican who could leave with degree in hand after just three years - there are many other guys like Jarrett Jack, a "signature recruit" of Hewitt's who stepped up with 29 points for the Yellow Jackets m the regional tina! when Elder barely played because of injury. "Don't call them role players," Hewitt said. "They 're all outstanding players in their own right. I give them} lot of credit for maybe accepting on some nights lesser minutes than they could be getting somewhere else." The kej•, then, just might be the ability to work as a team without depending on a star. It 's why Calhoun, Krzyzewski and Sutton probably will be better known than many of their players. But it al so might explai n why those coaches, along with Hewitt, have made it this far this year. .

'17!rthda,y: Rocky Hupp Insurance and Financial Services, (~ONS'I'IliJt:'I'ION There are deals on which both NorthSouth and East-West can make a gai'Tle contract This doesn' t look like one of them, bul it was in a way. This layout arose during the inaugural Bermuda Bowl , held on that picturesque island in 1950. It was a th ree-cornered battle between Britain, Iceland-Sweden, and the United States. Johnny Crawiord and Sidney Silodor had the given auction. Crawford (South) didn't open one no·lrump, because he didn't trust their response s1ructure. The Scandinavian West led lhe heart tour: five, king . ace . Crawford thought he had nine easy tricks, but when he led a low diamond, West discarded the spade two. Keeping a straight face , declarer . cleverly inserted dummy's diamond 10. When East won with the jack, West assumed th at his partner also had t~e diamond ki ng. So. when a heart came back to the jack and queen, West cashed lhe club king to show where hls entry lay. then (ignoring his partner's encouraging club seven) exiled with a heart to dummy's 10. Crawford imm ediately claimed nine tricks. At the other table , South did open one no-trump. George Rapee overcalled two hearts. North. with an awkward problem, gambled by doubling West 1nto game. The contract .can always be made. but 1 North facilitated matters by leading lhe club six: seven, 1D, king. A heart to lhe 1king lost to SoUih 's ace. Declarer ruffed I the diamond retUrn , cashed the heart ·1queen, played a club to dummy's queen, then finessed his club n~ne. Rapee lost Only three spades and two hearts. With results like that, it is no surprise that the United States won the title 1 Call ' ... t mo i BASEMENT WATERPROOFING CLARY!!
