Bad tuck prevented Gordon from making it three in a row at NASCAR's oldest track, although he still fi~ished sixth: · Gordon dominated yet another Martmsville race unlil a chunk of concrete stopped him dead iii his tracks. The fact that the track "came apart" caused Sunday's Advance Auto Parts 500 to be delayed for more than an hour, and the fact that the chunk dented Gordon's Chevy cost him a likely victory. . Gordon, born in Vallejo, Calif., and reared in Pittsboro,, Ind., IS still only 32 years old, yet his accomplishments make h1m seem like the most seasoned of veterans. He's already won 64 races and'£our championships. His Jist of accomplishments already make him a shoo-in for every motorsports hall of fame imaginable. For many years, rumors circulat- · ed that he might give up his stock-car racmg career for a shot at the international acclaim of Formula One . The truth is that Gordon made a commitment to NASCAR seven years ago . "I'm too old to go Formula One and start all over again," Gordon said. "After driving that car for one day (at Indianapolis la st year}, I realized what kind of dedication it would take to start from scratch to learn all new tracks, all new cars, all new people and take my whole life in the U.S. and move to Europe. At one time would I have liked to try that? Yes. But that's not the case today." Gordon stiU has wor Ids to conquer. He'd like to revisit the heady days of the 1990s. The level of competition keeps getting higher, and Gordon has never suffered from an exaggerated estimation of his own abilities.

My grandfather was dia gnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and we knew he didn't have a lot of time left. On Monday I went to see him. He was semi-conscious, but he knew I was there. When I asked him a question, he . would try to answer. When I put my lips to his, he'd give me little kisses. I said goodbye that evening and promised him I'd return the next day. On Tuesday he was weaker. We felt he was already on his way to heaven. Once again, ·I said goodbye. On the ride home, I prayed he would go peacefully. My grandmother had a long ordeal in the hospital during her last days. I didn't want Papa to suffer like she did. On Wednesday morning, my mom called and told me that Papa . had stopped breathing. I dropped everything and drove as fast as I could to be by his side, but I was too late. _I was unable to say a last goodbye or tell him how much I loved him . My husband and I own a car reconditioning business. That day, a car was being cleaned for a customer. The employee who cleal)ed the car found a penny under one of the seats, and because he knew I liked old coins, he placed it on my computer keyboard so I'd be sure to~ see it when I got back to work. When I returned to the office, I examined the penny and bawled my eyes out. It was a 1919 wheat penny the year my grandfather was born.

Bob Taft's order to close it. Ora Davidson told the panel at a public hearing that his 36-year-old son has been Jt the Springview Developmental Center since he was 7 and can't be cared for effectively anywhere else. "There are kids in Springview that need that facility above all," said Davidson, 60, of Greenville. "These kids will not last very long if we put them out. Don ' t look at the budget. You can't fix a budget on these babies' backs.:· The state-funded center houses about 50 residents, most profoundly mentally retarded. Last year, Taft 0rdered the shutdown· of Springview and Apple Creek Developmental Center in Wayne County to help close a budget deficit. Lawmakers responded by creating the commission to review those and any future closings. Once the panel makes its recommendation, • Taft still has the power to close the centers. The Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities has promised families that they can place their loved ones in one of I0 other state centers. Some already have moved. The families say the other institutions are not equipped well enough to handle the severit>' of the disabili!ies concentrated in the Spnngv1ew populatton. . · About 30 relatives and Springview workers attended the hearing. Some wore orange Tshins emblazoned with the words: "Support Springview. Don't make.the kids move." Shawnee Ktein said her daughter couldn't walk, talk or feed herself when she entered Springview in 1981 . "After two years at Springview, she began to smile," Klein said of her now 32-year-old daughter. "Now, when helped to a standing position. she will slowly walk. It 's enabled her to have a much healthier life and body." Beverly E"tep's daughter has been at Springview for 28 years . Even though she can't talk, the staff knows when something is wrong, Estep said. "Springview is the difference between heaven and hell ," she said. Workers from the center also addressed the commission. Deborah Blessing, an activity therapist at Springview, said she is a single parent. sole supporter of her-family, and works two jobs to make ends meet. She said she would be willing to give up co~t-of-living increases to her s<tlary and< shoulder more of the cost of her health benefits if the state keeps the center open .

The Rev. Gerald Robinson, 63, was arrested Friday, . five months after police reopened the investigation into the death of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, Chief Mike Navarre said. Robinson will be charged with murder, Navarre said. Sister Pahl, 71, was stabbed about 30 times and strangled on April 5, 1980, police said. Her body was found in the chapel of Toledo's Mercy Hospital where she was the caretaker. At a news conference Friday night, Navarre said "new technology" led to Robinson's arrest. He would not elaborate on what the link was to Robinson nor would he talk about evidence or a motive in the case. Police started up the cold case based on a tip to the Lucas County prosecutor's . office. Robinson was taken to the Lucas County jail.

STATE VIEW Kerry speaking out of both sides of his mouth Warren Chronicle Tribune, April 14: John .Kerry must think steelworkers won ' t recognize a politician speaking out of both sides of hi s mouth . Kerry, who will be the Democratic Party's nominee for president, la st week criticized President Bush's policy on tariffs to aid the ,steel industry . Specifically. Kerry said Bush was wrong when, in December, he rescinded stiff tariffs being collected on some imported steel products. "It should be remembered that. after eight years of inaction by a Democratic president who was content to watch foreign companies wreck the U.S. steel industry, Bush put those tariffs in place in March 2002 . They did an enormflus amount of good for American steel companies and their employee s. But Kerry, after saying Bush sh·o uld not have rescinded the tariffs, added that he would not, if elected president , teinstate them. Kerry offered only assurances that he would enforce U.S. laws against "dumping" by foreign steelmakers. The Bush White House already is doing that. Kerry 's lack of a plan is striking . His hypocri sy e)(pose s him as nothing more than a demagogue- certainly not a friend to steelworkers. Let me ask you a direct que,tion: Do you get angry at pol iticians who avoid answering tough questions? D.on·t dodge now. Does it bothf'r yo u that Pre sident Bush has only held three press cnnferences in more than three years·> Does it .gra te on yo u that Hillary Clinton considers Larry King her mellitr guru '? Does it dri ve you nuh that Donald Rumsfeld. Colin Powell and . Dick Cheney have sought sympathetic media venues since the war in Iraq started going south '' If none of the above rankle you, then you"re in tune with the latest trend in politic s: "'Forum Shopping." That means whenever a politician is faced with a controversy or a situation whereby he or she is looking bad, they ha ve · certain friendly "forum s·· where their spin will not be challenged. Thus, a politician can seem accessible to the public because they appear on "Oprah" or "Lena·· or "The Daily Show." But the se forums are purely entertain- Bill O'Reilly ment, and rarely is the politician put on the 'POl . l :hey can pretty much say what they wam to say. Now there is nothin~ wrong with our leaders going on entertainment venues. Talking to Jay Leno he lped get Arnold elected gove rnor. But if that's all they do: if the only interview deal is a sweethean deal. then we have a problem in this country. Here's an example. I would like to ask Defense Secretary Rumsfeld one simple question: Why didn 't your department warn the country that the aftermath of the war could be very bloody'! Was it another intelligence failure'? I cannot get Rumsfeld to a void the t6li};h guys and gals who have been trained to ask incisive questions. and meander on over to the cozy little studio on the prairie.

It's not like in the 1950s, when I was a boy and the glaciers were receding and electricity had just been invented. Back tnen, there was only one kind of TV, which was a refrigerator-sized mass of walnut with two knobs and a tiny screen . In fact, some of the early TV s had no screen at all: Peopl e would j ust sit and stare at the walnut. That's how starved we were for entertainment. I remember when we got our first TV Dad set it up, then climbed up onto our roof to try to aim the antenna at New York City. Then he yelled down to us. and we turned the "ON" knob, anq the tiny scree n started to glow. and then we saw it. right in our living room. an incredi ble miracle: Static. Oh, sure. we'd HEARD static hemre, but this was the first time we'd ever actuall y SEEN it. And this static was coming "all the way from New York ."· Back then. we watched a lot of static. although wmetimes. if Dad was having an · unusually good aiming day up on the roof. we saw some ac tual programming. wh ich mainly consi~ted .o f silent black -and-white cartoons of mice running arotmd.

''I'm a lot happier now than I was 10 minutes ago," Manning said durin g a second news conference; his first came when he still ·belonged to the Chargers. "We wanted· a trade .to happen.

This time around, Casey Atwood is taking the slow, .but steady approach. Once the youngest driver in NASCAR's · top serie s and touted as the next Jeff Gordon, Atwood is back competing in Busch races just trymg to get wins for FitzBradshaw Racing. And he has no timetable for returning to the Cup circuit. ''I'm onir 23. I've still ?,Ot a long time,' Atwood said. 'I'm tryirig not 'to rush. I want to run now the way l was running the first time around. I think I' II get some more good opportunities to ~o to Cup and try to win there.' When Atwood first hit NASCAR, he was on the fast track to stardom. He was a quiet teenager winning stock car races before getting a d(iver's license. At 17, he became the youngest driver ever to win a Busch Series pole - and did it on his nome track in Nashville (be finished second). Atwood then became the youngest to win a Busch race when the 18-year-old took the Milwaukee Mile in 1999. His future never seemed brighter than when Ray Evernharn made him the youngest driver in the Cup series for 2000, seemingly the new protege for Gordon's former crew chief. · But this time, the success Atwood h~d enjoyed didn't follow. Atwood won a pole in 200 I but had just three top-! 0 finishes in 79 career starts. Evernham dumped Atwood for Jeremy Mayfield, but then he became a partner in a single-car team in order to get another ride. for Atwood. That ended in late 2002, leaving Atwood without a team or even a ride for half a year. Evernham wouldn't comment on why At wood didn't make it, instead. praising current rookie Kasey Kahne 's devotion and work ethic. "Ray was big on the driver being in the shop all the time.

Gunsmith Cale says the bending technique wasn't something he was taugh t in schooL "It's a technique that the masters practiced in years past," he says.

"You have to choose the gun, the stock and the type of wood very carefully. Some guns can be bent, others can't." The process doesn 't work for just any shooter, either. "I'll only do this for shooters who mount the gun to their shoulders in a good. consistent manner." Cale says. "Most beginners aren't nearly consistent enough to make the process worthwhile.'' Because the point-ofimpact testing and the stockbending procedure both take considerable amounts of time to complete, Cale's charges for the work also eliminate most casual shooters from consideration. "I charge $150 for the te sting and fitting. and $200 for the bending." he says. "For serious skeet shooters and bird hunters. that 's not too terrible an expense.'' Jordan agrees.

In the bank at the time were three employees and five customers. According to the Tribune, "Before the bandits scarcely had time to reach the corporation line, a crowd swarmed into the bank and milled about to learn the details of the first crime of that son in the city within recollection." No one claimed to have gotten a very good look at the two robbers althpugh a few people said that one bandit had a "swanhy look", while the other was small and of light complexion. ' Unfortunately for the gang of three (there was a getaway driver, as well), their "Nash sedan broke down near Albany, Ohio. It was reponed that the bandit car roared through Vmton about II and went to Wilkesville, . Radcliff and Vale's Mills. They were traveling at a high rate of speed over gravel roads which attracted much attention and many phone calls. It was somewhere between Vale's Mills and Alban>:.that the car broke down. Whtle the getaway driver, · Krito Kitric, wa~ attending to repairs at an Albany garage, the two gunmen mailed a package to a lady in Cleveland. Of course it had some of the money in it. The two gunmen then hired a taxi cab to take them to Nelsonville. Next thef went to Shawnee, New Lexington, Newark, and 28, Columbus, always using taxicabs. At Columbus, they.bought a nne . way bus ticket to Cincinnati. But at Washington C. H., they hopped off the bus. In the meantime, Kitric was captured at Albany. The other two were followed to Washington C.H.. but from there the trdil went cold. While sitting in the Gallia County jail, Kitric explained how the three had staked out the bank over a four day period while staying. in the French City Hotel. He also explained how he had driven the . two gt~nmen- and two.Gallia girls joy nding through Gallia County over that weekend period. Apparently, the two gunmen later met up with a woman called Blond1e in Cleveland and the money was divided. The driver got only $50 out· of the $1500 he was promised. ln early April, Kitric wa~ sent to the Ohio Penitentiary for 15 to 25 years. One gunmen, who was later learned to be Bob Jones, alia~ Bob Lyons, was tracked down to a hotel in Findlay, where in a gun battle with officers, he was shot. Jones was heard to say as he was being taken to the hospital, "I'll f1ght my way out to the end. · I'm telling nothtng. I'd like to get !he copper that got me." Those were his last words, for the next day, Jones died. He had been a bell-hop for many years at the Neil House in Columbus, but about 1928 got into bootlegging illegal alcohol from · Canada to Cleveland. With- the • . end of 'Prohibition in 1933, Jones and the other gunmen Billy Burke, alia~ William Lang, also a bootlegger, turned to bank robbery. The Gallipolis job was Jones' first and last operation. His body was claimed by aged paients who had no idea about their son's illegal career. Blondie had been registered with Jones in the Findlay hotel as his wife, but she was just a !Jirlfriend. Blondie was questioned. and then released. Jones had about $4500 in the Findlay hotel room. That meant that Burke had the other $15,000 or so either on him or hidden somewhere. Burke had been a coal miner from Pennsylvania but had moved to Cleveland and gotten mixed up with bootlegging as well. Over the next several weeks, numerous tips poured into the Gallia County Sheriff's office. One man matching Burke's description was tracked to Illinois where he was bein11 held for a misdemeanor. A ptcture of that person was sent to Gallipolis, but the so-called eyewitness could not reach any consensus on whether or not it was Burke. So the man was released. To my knowledge, Burke was never found nor the rest of the monoy restored to · the bank . Fonunately, the bank had insurance to cover its losses. The ironic pan,. of the story is that the robbery took pfuce just a few days after the great bank holiday when Pre sident Roosevelt had closed the nation's banks for a week to avoid a run·on the banks. r# . take a bite out of your investments, you'll slow their growth OGJlOI1Uilities, which, in tum will impede your progress toward your cruaal goats. such as a com-" fmable retirement or college f<r · your children.

A storm that caused a power outage in the Midwest. may have been a factor in Hudson 's ouster, TV entertainment newsmagazine "Extra" said Thursday.

Aloft is Lee 's third novel. A Korean-American, he was named by The New Yorker as one of its 20 writers for the 21st century. Aloft tells the story of Jerry Battle, formerly operator of Battle Brothers ·Brick and Monar on Long Island, widower of Daisy who drowned in the swimming pool after suffering depression. father of two grown children: Jack, who has run the company into crippling debt, and Theresa, an academic who is newly pregnant and newly diagnosed with cancer.

His cantankerous father, Hank, who founded the landscap· ing company, is now unhappily residing in a nursing home. Jerry works pan-time at a travel agency. He is deeply concerned about his family, but he is basically disenga~ed, preferring to "escape' by flying his small plane over the landscape. Everything looks beautiful and orderly from up there.

What ever it is, to carry out a good resolution ·you must fmd a source of motivation that is strong enough to carry you through until you meet your resolution We are always full of excuses.

Davies, MS, CSCS Exercise Physiologist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist if you are motivated. You will find the time, the money, or the means. The way to overcome the excuse of ignorance, or truly not knowing something, is to become educated. Let's say that you make a resolution to become more physically active and get more regular exercise in your life. Maybe you really don't know how to get started. Read on. As an exercise physiologist at Holzer Clinic, I frequently write exercise prescriptions for individuals wanting to become more physically fit. The term prescription is most often associated with a medication that a physician prescribes for something. Medications ' have different effects upon the body and its systems. They may raise or lower blood ' pressure~ ra1se or lower heart rate, affect your blood sugar or your breathing rate. All of these physiological responses are what exercise does as well.

When choosing a type of aerobic exercise you must make certain that it uses ·~ much muscle as possible, that it is something that you can do continuously for at least 20 minutes to start, and that it is something that you enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, your motivation may not be enough to overcome your lack of interest in the exercise. Examples of aeroliic conditioning exercises include: swimming, aerobic classes, bicycling, walking,jogging, stair climbing, etc·. Even better is to choose a variety of exercises and mix them up to get the same effect, often referred to as cross-training.

' 1 \ • ll The 2004 Dodge Durango is bold, big and brutish. And that ' s before it's powered up by a 335-horsepower, Hcmi Magnum V8. Long the biggest mid-size SUV on the market, the Durango returns in 2004 as a second-generation model that's . longer, . taller and wider than its predecessor. lr's built on a new platform, so the ride is improved. Styling leaves no doubt it's a Durango - no other SUV looks like it. But Dodge officials say virtually ev\'ry piece of sheet metal outside is different from what was on the previous Durango. And the 2004 model is the first to offer a V6, resulting in a lower starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destinjition charge, of $26,860. This is some $2,000 less than the lowest-priced 2003 Durango . But guess what? Despite high gasoline prices, 55 percerit of 2004 Durangos are leaving dealer lots with the gasoline-loving, 5.7-liter Hemi V8. This engine upgrade is a $995 option. Because of its dimensions, the Durango, which can carry up to seven people, competes with both mid-size SUVs such as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer as well as fullsize SUVs . such as the Ford Expedition. The 2004 TrailBlazer's seven-passenger, extendedwheelba$e model !)as a starting MSRP, including of destination charge, $30.655, while the 2004 Expedition starts at $33,205.

Water (or lack of it) might be the culprit You can easi ly become almost an expert in diagnosing your friends' houseplant troubles. First say "Too much water." Then, if your friend acknowledges hardly ever remembering to water the sickly plant in question, merely respond, "Too little water." Chuckle, chuckle. ' though : Its true, Houseplants are at Ol!r mercy for water, and many, many problems can be traced to improper watering . Furthermore, too much water or too little can produce the same symptoms. Too much water suffocates roots so they cannot func-tion. Too little water, and the roots can breathe just fine; but they have nothing to drink. Either way, the leaves dry, beginning along their margins, from losing water without being able to replace it. Improper waterin g can cause other ills, too. Cyclamens', for e~ample, are prone to rot right where the stems emerge from the soU , so you dont want to let water just sit there. The force of water also can knock down seedlings. a good reason sometimes - to Jill the saucer beneath a pot with wate~ and let the soil draw it up. Fertilizer salts can build · up in pots watered only from below, though, which dries the roots out just like salty potato chips dry out your lips. So, at least occasionally, water from above. Improper watering can cause nutritional problems. Are leaves yellowing on any houseplants'> The problem could be due to iron deficiency, caused not by lack of soil iron, but by roots' inability to absorb iron because the soil is too wet or the water too cold. Take your time. when you water. Quickly sloshing water into a flowerpot might wash away soil to expose shallow, tender feeder roots. A quick sloshing. of water might not even wet a soi I that has gone bone dry. Dry soils often shrink away from the sides of the pots and develop cracks. Water can then flow right down through the cracks or between dry soil and the edge of the pot, not even stopping on the way down to moisten the soil itself. Water a bone dry soil especially slowly, or immerse the pot for a half-hour or so in a pan of water to let it slowly absorb the water as it expands and closes up cracks. So, next time one of your houseplants looks sick, think first about how you water it. You are probably drowning the plant. Then again, the roots might be crying for water.

Q: I have heard the term "vertical wine tasting," but have no idea what it means. Can you help me out with an explanation? A: This is when a single wine is tasted over a span of several years. Q: I know what the term "to steal one's thunder" means. How did it start? A: The story ~oes that in 1709, John Denms, an actormanager, invented ·a thundermaking machine to be used in his production of his plar, "Appius . and Virginia. ' . ,According to critics, Mr. Dennis may have had many · talents, but being a playwright was not one of them. His show opened at Drury Lane Theatre in London, but was quickly cancelled and a new production of "Macbeth" opened. Dennis went to the opening night of this show and was astonished to hear his ·- ACROSS 1 Llie Bmlen or 6:-"~- 10 Truh 15 Claar rllldul 18FrfondoHp t9 Tender- Cllll 21 HouseoiMOW 22 Plallorm In a mettinghd Cf1qJ School1l10111 "*" Nerve (preltx) ExploaMI dtvict · Med. speclllty Thinly scattered .

Often called a "mud room," this space is designed to keep the mess of the garage and the outdoors out of the main living areas. This back-entry organi ze r ts' built to do just that. The built-in bench is ideal for putting on boots. or shoes, and the open area below can store a whole familys footwear. Two rows of hooks offer hanging space. The hooks also can serve as a . han¥ing spot for key rings. Bestdes its multiple functions, it's a stylish piece of built-in furniture .

SUNDAY PUZZLER 77Wrath (AP) - thunder machine being used. He leapt to hi s feet and shout-· ed, "They have stolen my. thunder, by God; the villains: will play my thunder but not . my play!" I have read several: similar versions of this story. Q: Is there a word for something that recurs every mne years? . A: Ye s, novennial. The : word comes to us from the · Latin "novem.'' meaning : nine, and "annus," meaning : year. · :Q: There is/was an actor by : the name of George Spelvin . . What can you tell me about: · him? : A' George Spelvin has beenaround si nce 1886 - that'S: when his name first appeared; . in a program for .. Karl the : Peddler," a play by Charles A. Gardiner. The name is a ficti-. tious one and is sometime.s: used in a program for an actor: whose real name already. appears in the same program .' It is also occasiona!J¥ used when an individual's name is : not known at the time of the : program's printing . Another: source says the tradition start-: ed in 1907, in a play called· "Brewster's Million s" by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley. The name Georgina Spelvin has been used for . actresses. Harry Selby is another. name that is sometimes used. instead of George Spelvin. British count~rparts include Walter Plinge, Mr. F. Anney and Mr. Bart.
