Deep, dark, disappointment. On Sunday,the 62nd renew.i! of the NFL's "Battle of Ohio" finds both the -Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland - Browns in dire need of a victory. A loss, and seasons that began with }lope for both would move to the brink of disaster. "I don't want to su~arcoat it or beat around the bush, this ts a must game," said Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson. "We can't lose this one. This is a must win." The Browns (2·3) are feeling· equally obligated to come out on top. "It's a crucial week," defensive end Kenard Lang said. "We need to get that taste of victory back in our .· mouths and we need to keep winning at home." Coming off a bye, the Bengals can't afford may more losses if they still plan to make a run at the playoffs. Building off the optimism of last year's 8-8 finish, this was supposed to be the season Cincinnati erased more than a decade of gloom and · doom with its first postseason appearance since 1990. But as it did a year ago, coach Marvin Lewis' team has stumbled over its stripes and is off to another slow stan. At l-3 overall and 0·2 in the AFC North, the Bengals need to reverse ~ears· quickly. ''This IS a big game for us," Lewis said. "It's a ~arne we want to go and win, and we re not going to be afraid to talk about it. It's a big game, let's go win." · To do that, the Bengals have to plug up the NFL's worst rushing defense, which is yielding 165.8 yards per game this season. It's been a trend for some time. Dating to last season, Cincinnati's defense has allowed an opposing running back to break I00 yards in six of the past eight games. One of them was Browns back Lee Suggs, who ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns in the 2003 finale. Lewis, a former defensive coordinator who built the Baltimore Ravens into Super Bowl champions, has his finger on the r.roblem. ''We haven t tackled very well point blank," he said. "And we didn't tackle very well at the end of last season. If you don't tackle very well. you see 11 week in and week out in the NFL, you're going to give up yards." Cincinnati, which gave Lewis his first career win as a head coach in Cleveland last season, has added motivation going into this week's game: Call it the "Monday Night Football" factor. . On Oct. 25, the Bengals will host Denver in Cincinnati's first Monday night appearance since 1992. It will also be the Bengals' first MNF game at home since 1989. The possibility of being called "The Bungles" on national TV isn't appealing and could erase all of the positive vibes that came out of 2003. "From here on out, every game is a big game," quarterback Carson Palmer said. ''Our backs are against the wall. We're in a situation where we have to win games." It's no different for the Browns, coming off a 34-23 loss last week at Pittsburgh when they got manhandled by the Steelers. Like the Bengals, who have II players on injured reserve, the Browns have been ravaged by injuries. This week, though, the team w1ll get a boost from the return of defensive lineman Gerard Warren and offensive tackle Ryan Tucker. Now it's time for Cleveland, just 28-53 since 1999, to get its record healthier. "It's a chance for us to get back to 2-1 in the division and with Cincinnati being an in-state rival it carries a cenain amount of significance," Browns coach Butch Davis said. "It's a chance for us to stay undefeated at home and get back to .500. It's a very important ballgame." And thanks to Johnson's creativity, this chapter of the Bengals-Browns rivalry has a little added spice. Earlier this week, the Bengals ' brash wideout sent each of Cleveland's four defensive backs a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. the joke being they were going to get sick trying to cover him. The prank was well-received by most of the Browns. However, a few others didn't like the message heading · into a crucial game with matchups against Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburgh on the horizon. There's not much time for foolishness. "When the ball's kicked off on Sunday, it's all business," said Browns safety Earl Little. "We've got to stay focused. Uis is a big one."

Golden from Page 81 · "We want to get everybody involved, and the way we are doing things, we will get everybody involved," said Bokovitz. Warren (2-6, 1-2) was led by Jake Roach with six carries for 86 yards. Gallia Academy didn't take long to use a big play to put some points on the board. On a third and six situation at their own 48, Golden was simply trying to get a first down with a short yass to Burnett just inside Warrior territory. The senior end, though, broke away from the Warren defense and took the ball down lhe right sideline for a 52-yard touchdown. Onfy one Gallia Academy touchdown came from less than 20-yards out, a five-yard TD run by Todd Saunders with less than two minutes left in the game. The next Gallia Academy score came early in the second quarter when, on the first play from scrimmage following a Warren punt, Austin King took off from the Devil 27 and sprinted for Raiders from Page 81 Edwards had a pair of 7 -yard touchdown runs in the third quarter.

Smith, though, proved to be ineffective Johnson's title hopes slipping away BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press CONCORD, N.C _ In any other season, Jimmie Johnson would have been the runaway winner of NASCAR's championship. But this isn't any other season. It's the first year of NASCAR's new points systern, and Johnson is on target to be the biggest loser under the new format. The most dominating driver for most of the year, Johnson has limped through the last two races of the Chase for the Ncxtel Cup Championship. flis wreck last week at Kansas Speedway gave him a 32nd-place finish, effectively ending any shot at winning the title. . Johnson is now ninth in the standings, 247 points behind leader Kurt Busch. "I've been against (the points system), but, you know, in the big picture, it spreads the love out further throughout all the race teams," he said. "You have more people being focused on throughout the season, more exposure for everyone as a whole, which is only goin~ to help our spon. "So I see the positives to it." Johnson has had a positive outlook since breaking into NASCAR's top series in 2002. Any speed bump in the road, Johnson attacks with grace. So there's no reason to believe he and his Hendrick Motorspons team will give up over the tina! six races of the season. "All you can do is give 100 percent," he said. "If luck isn't on your side and you have things take place on the racetrack that are out of you control, there isn't much you can do. My guys believe in me and l believe in them 100 percent." The tide could change for Johnson this weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway. where he's been the most dominant driver by far lately. He earned his second-straight Coca-Cola 600 victory here in May, leading 334 of 400 laps. He's finished seventh or better in his last five races l\t Lowe's, the longest top-10 streak among active-drivers. Just to relieve a little tension, Johnson plans to run in the Busch race Friday night. "Its going to be something fun to do Friday night," he said. "With all the inten·sity in the Chase for the Championship, getting to do something fun this weekend is kind of nice." Still, there's liule Johnson can do to climb back into the Chase unless the eight drivers in front of him collapse. . So far, Busch has shown · no signs of doing that. He scored yet another top- I0 finish at Kansas, giving him one in all four of the Chase races. But behind Busch are a bunch of Lowe's Motor Speedway veterans aiming to knock him out of the points lead. Jeff Gordon, who has four victories at Lowe's, is third in the standings and has high motivation to gain some ground. Gordon and his team were humiliated during the Coca-Cola 600. As Johnson, his teammate, ran away with the race, Gordon limped to a 30th-place tinish that disgusted his entire teaJn. "We were embarrassed by that performance and it lit a fire underneath us," Gordon said. "We started running better and things just started to click." In the nine events following that race, Gordon had three victories, four poles and seven top-fives. In one of those races, at Chicago, he tinished founh using the same chassis the team struggled with at Charlotte. "We qualified well at both tracks, but the car was too loose during both races," crew chief Robbie Loomis said. "The longer we ran, the looser it became. "Luckily, we were able to diagnose the problem during a caution llag at Chicago and make the necessary adjustments to tinish well." Mark Martin. fitih in the standings. also has four wins at Lowe's - three of them in the fall race. His 15 top-live finishes are the most of any active driver on the I 112-mile track. He's also got a win in the 1998 all-star race and has six victories in the Busch series at Lowe's. · "I can 't wait to get out on the track at Lowe's. I think that just about everybody knows it is one of - and just maybe - my favorite track to race," he said. " We 'vc been to Victory Lane four times there in the past and I'd love to get back in the Chase with a win there this Saturday night." So would Matt Kenseth , a teammate of Martin and Busch at Roush Racing. The reigning se ries champion has dropped to seventh in the standings, but could make up ground at Lowe 's, where he scored his first Cup victory in 2000 and won the all-star race here in May. "Lowe's has always been one of my favorite tracks on the circuit and we always seem to run pretty good here," he said. " The Roush cars in general seem to all run pretty good here, so I hope we can run up front and lead some laps. here and challenge for a win. "We need more than a good finish- we need a great finish right now, but I know this team is capable of it here.'."

"If you go out there and show you're competent, there shouldn't be a problem,"" Gibbs said. ··tf you go out there and cause a bunch of issues. that 's one thing. But that has nothing to do with age. There's 40-year-old guys who cause issues."" Austin does have an impressive racing resume that invites comparisons to the early years of Jeff Gordon's career. Austin started racing go·karts when he was 8 _and by 13, just like Gordon, was competing in full-size sprint cars. He has run modifieds and late models on dirt tracks, has experience on paved tracks in the late model division- and in his ftrst . year of Topless Outlaw Racing Association competition finished II th in points and was the top rookie. And he's a sports marketer's dream. He's good-looking, personable, talented _ and biracial, the son of a black father and u white mother. For auto ..racing, sti ll searching for a way to bring more minorities into its fan base, that makes Austin an appealing combination of Gordon and Tiger Woods. "I do think he's got a lot of naturql outstanding talent," .said H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler, president of Lowe's Motor Speedway. "He's the best black American I've seen in a race car. I'm. glad Rick (Hendrick) ha' done thi s. because Ri<:k 0 will be able to put the kind of equipment under him thai he needs to reach his potential. ··we can do all advertising we can do reaching out .to African American fans.""

But there's precedent for other young drivers doing well not only on short tracks , but on superspeedways. There's dordon, of course, who broke into Cup competition a1 21 and won his first championship at 24.

Amish families open homes to let tourists taste their culture BALTIC (AP) - A 2 ~year­ old Amish boy plays on the fronl law n with a pinwheel , barely noticing as 40 tourists shuffle past and into hi ; grandparents' home. After all. tou ri sts arc a common sight at the Hershbergers'. Although their faith requires a distance from the outside world, a dozen Amish families in northeast Ohio welcome visitors to the ir homes to give them a taste of their culture . Serving meals to the publi c has been a way of life for IS years for the Hershbergers. who like many Amish have left behind farming for more profitable ventures. The Amish are a deeply religious group whose simple clolhing and tradition of traveling by horse and buggy symbolize a yielding to a collective order. Sara Hershberger acknowledges there were man y skeptics in the tight-knit Amish community when a few families started opening their doors two de cades ago. But even among the Amish times change. "We enjoy being around people," she said. "Most people tell us this is the highlight of their trip ... On the way to the Hershbergers, the busload of tourists rolled through the rural, hilly region that is home to the largest settlement of Amish in the world. The Hershbergers don ' t own automobiles but have a witle concrete driveway that can accommodate at 'lea st two buses at a time. Their neat, wtiite vinyl-sided house is three stories high with tive bedrooms on the top floor. The touri sts pass by neat flow er beds and a well -worn pair of work jeans hanging with the rest of the day's laundry. then .enter a dining room big enough for 60. The room was an. addition to the house in 1995.

Included in that book are some verses written by long time University of Rio Grande English professor Ruth Thomas. Ruth mav have been one of the few Gallia County resi dents to ever have a book of poetry published. Coming out in 1942 was "Flint and Fireflies," by Ruth Thomas. The book was publi shed in Boston and dedicated to Ruth's mother Laura, with the words, "For my mother whose daily living is poetry." A reviewer of the book in 1942 said of "Flint and Fireflies," that it "is full of dry, delightful humor, a rare and vivid pictorial quality, and . most noticeable of all, a keen understanding of people and their ways of living." The fact that Ruth, her mother, and her two sisters operated a 300-acre farm was probably the inspiration for many of the poe ms. A few of my fa vo rite · poems in that book are "Four Starlings," "Beyond Thi s Vale" and "Smoke Going Down." ·'Four dark starlings, rising against a rainy mornin g, touch a horizon from their roof top. They want no shelter. for cover is nonsense . They seem so vast, so sturdy in their eloquence, and yet fu ndamentally, and in the wonder of the darkened morning , they are swearing at the rain."

How he acts on this knowl edge is another matter. Some would say "The Daily Show," a fake newscast where he's the phony anchorman, is half-hour of silliness meant to poke fun at politicians and everyone else who warrants it. with no higher goal than making you laugh. Others · argue that, by acce pting the presidential race on· its own twisted terms, "The Daily Show" can treat you to rare moments of clarity - while making you laugh', too. '"The Daily Show" makes a convincing case that, with . journalism. bogus is the new real. But even in a political season when fac t and fantasy seem more interchangeable than usual, Stewart shoots down any notion that '"The Daily Show" is some kind of truth teller. '"Our meeting every morning is an explicit discussion · of what's going on in the world," he allows.

(Spottswoode believes Gary is 'the perfect weapon" since he 's an actor who double majored in theater and world languages at the University of Iowa.)
