Palmer gets passing grade at midterm BY JOE KAY Associated Press Carson Palmer opponents regularly exploit. Pro Bowl right tackle Willie Anderson is the latest casualty, playing with tom cartilage in his knee. Despite the turmoil, Palmer has developed. He ran the offense efficiently and didn't make a mistake in a 26-3 victory over Dallas last Sunday. "I think he's done well," coach Marvin Lewis said . "He's not been rattled. He's handled things well, handled the ups and downs. "For some reason. he just keeps getting blamed for things . But Carson 's had about two bad plays, maybe three, that prevent us from winning games at times. I wish all our guys had that few." Most of those mistakes involve trying to force a pass into coverage during one of those frantic comeback attempts, resulting in an interception. He has six touchdown passes and I 0 interceptions overall, but has gotten ALONG THE RIVER Smith National Football League CINCINNATI - Carson Palmer won't assign himself a midtenn grade for his first season as an NFL quarterback. Considering what he's been up against, he' d have to get a passing grade. While Ben Roethlisberger gets the attention, wins games and sets the standard for rookie quarterbacks in Pittsburgh. palmer has been slowly developing in his first season runmng the Cincinnati Bengals' offense. . He's done more good things than bad, but doesn't have the benefit of a solid team around him to smooth the transition and help him prosper the way Roethlisberger has with the Steelers. For that reason, it's hard to measure how well he's done. : "It's tough to grade yourself, but I know I can play a lot better than what I've played," Palmer said. His numbers don't help much in making a judgment. Palmer's passer rating of 66.3 is the fourth-lowest in the league, normally a sign that the quarterback is struggling. In th1s case, it's more a reflection of the rest of the team and the schedule. Cincinnati (3-5) has one of the NFL's worst defenses. allowing opponents to pile up 351 yards a game and a league-worst 150 per game on the ground. Palmer rarely has the advantage of playing to protect a lead - he's usually forced to throw into a blitzing defense in the fourth quarter. The offensive line has been a hodgepodge because of injuries, a weakness that Friday, November 12, 2004 www.mydailysentinel.com Smith needed was a chance.

"I think I've learned a lot from forcing the ball into places," he said. His improvement was on display against Dallas, when he smoothly executed a con· servative game plan. More than half of his 21 completions went to tight ends and running backs, a low-risk approach that brought boos from the home crowd but plaudits from the coaches. " It's tough on the fans," Palmer said. "I can understand why they're frustrated, because you get frustrated thinking, 'Man, we should be taking more shots downfield. There should be more open .' "I've also learned that just completions put pressure on the defense, whether it be a dump-off to the fullback.

When the media feeding frenzy began this week in the wake of ex-Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett's allegations of cheating against Tressel and his staff, Smith calmly defended Clarett, one of his best friends, without taking any shots at his head coach.

A common perception among farmers throughout much of the U.S. is that turkeys, which are becoming more common in the agricultural landscape, knock down and eat crops ranging from corn and soybeans in the Midwest to grapes in California's vineyards. Research by Gefle Rhodes, professor of wildlife ecology, and Brian MacGowan, extension wildlife specialist, has found that deer and raccoons, and not turkeys, are the cropmunching culprits. Their project was designed not only to solve the "whodunit" crop mystery, but also to address public perceptions and misconceptions about wildlife damage in agricultural fields. Crop damage by wildlife is no small problem. Experts estimate agricultural producers suffer wildlife-related losses that exceed $4.5 billion per year in the U.S. In nortb-central Indiana, 82 percent of the 529 farmers participating in the Purdue study reP.orted some degree of wildlife damage to crops. Rhodes and MacGowan outfitted a small army of wild turkey, raccoons and whitetailed deer with various tracking devices to monitor their movements throughout the fields of north-central Indiana. Members of the research team also walked the fields, identified which species caused the damage based on what they saw, and spent time observing and photographing wildlife in the fields throughout the growing season. Unlike turkeys, deer and raccoons are largely nocturnal, meaning they are active at night, MacGowan said. "Our video data will allow producers to experience the cornfield environment at night, when the majority of damage occurs." Two years of fieldwork gave the researchers a solid set of data vindicating turkeys. Over the past two years, deer and raccoons caused 95 percent of the damage in the fields surveyed, Rhodes said. "During the two growing seasons we surveyed, not a single incident was caused by turkey," he said . . Tbe problem with turkeys is that they show up at the crime · scene during daylight hours, after the damage is done by the night-feedin~ deer and raccoons, Rhodes sa1d.

VIEW READER'S Bridge vVherd the problem? Sunday, November 14, :&oo.ot Madonna recently told the BBC that she wants American troops out of Iraq right this minute. and she's. like, serious. Although there is no truth to the rumor that the diva is being considered for Colin Powell"s position should he leave the Bush administration, Madonna is paying attention to world events and wants everybody to know it. The problem here is that Madonna's desire is pretty much shared by most Americans. Who the he~k actually wants U.S. forces in Iraq? No sane person can be happy Americans are targets there. So the issue becomes a simple question: For the sake of national security, do U.S. troops have to be in that chaotic country ? Three reasons say yes. First, if we withdruw from Iraq. the country will likely be run by terrorist sympa· thizers who will cooperate with AI Qaeda and neighboring Iran . If it were a movie. Bill O'Reilly it might be called "Tali ban 2: The Return of the Maniacs." Two, a civil war could break out inside Iraq and the bloodbath would be brutal. Any Iraqi who cooperated with the U.S. or Britain would be in grave danger. The Kurds would probably break away and the chaos would be unbelievable. And three, no country would ever tru st America again when called upon to adively help us fight terror. Also, if the U.S . bails out of Iraq, it would be seen as a major victory for the terrorists and the jihadists would tak e the offensive even more aggressively against the west. Now, I don't want to upset Madonna with a wliole bunch of cause-and-effect analysis. She has enough on her plate spending enormous sums of money and tending to her image. The woman simply does not need the burden of campi icated thought. But for the rest of us who would like some security in this world, the Iraq war is a frustrating. history defining experience that requires patience and discipline. We are. indeed, caught between Iraq and a hard place. This situation is crucial for the world. Unfortunately, most of the world doesn't care. Western Europe. Russia and China simply don't want to get involved. even though a terrorist friend ly Iraq would cause .massive problems for everyone. This apathy is maddening. but it's reality. So what's the Bush administration to do? The American public is not going to sit by for years and watch body bags come ' home, even if the adminis-· tration continues to bar the ' press from showing them .·· Thus, the President must develop a cohesive : timetable for the Iraqis to· take over their own 'defense .. As long as the Iraqi people think we will fight their bat-:. ties for them - they'll let us . . Some sense of urgency, must be imposed on the , Iraqi pc• le by their lead-. ers . Peril. JS Iraqis should . be shown " TV documentary on how the South· Vietnamese are living these' days. Maybe we call it "Police Stale Blues." · So I hate to admit this, but Madonna and I share some . common ground. I want to.: gel our soldiers out of Iraq as' well. But unlike the Material · Girl. I live in the real world. ·· And, unfortunately. that world is a complicated and .. terrifying place. \l ooouu uu u u vv Dear Editor: I am writing in respon'e to the article. regarding the Cora Mill bridge controversy. Correct me if I am wrong but, as I review the facts. I find we have a bridge sadly in disrepair to financial difficulty and unable to finance a new bridge and NOWSHOWIN6 might possibly be forced to close this bridge due to lack qf funding. I find a vital roadway for locals may be closed due to " lack of funding. I find that the federal government will pay I00 percent·for a new modern bridge at no cost to our county and no new taxes are needed from the taxpayer to pay for this bridge. On the other hand. I find we have a concerned individual(s) who recognizes the historical value of the old site of the covered bridge that once stood there. I find that the historicallysignificant covered bridge that once stood there has already does not, in the least. resemhle a wood-structured covered bridge that occupied that site over a century ago. I find that the bridge is located in an area that is very precious to the I [ITf IF BUSH landowners and locals who live there but would not be seen MANDATE by a grand majority of visitors who come to Gallia County. I ~ =..--~-- ·find that our county has already spent eight years and - --==- $300.000 on a bridge that still has not been built. Those of you who know me know that I am active in teaching the value of history to the younger generations. However. ' it seems to me that the valr1e of a brand new '"replica" of a .- covered bridge built in a remote area of the county and paid for hy a financially-strapped county budget is not going to be worth the lives that might be lost through impending disaster whi le we are deliberating on who wi ll rebuild thi s bridge. It seems that history may indeed repeat itself and I do not think we need another bridge disaster that will linger in the hearts and lives of the Gallia County people. We must learn from ' history and move on. Why not l_et our federal taxes pay for the bridge and use our coumy taxes to pay for more important issues suL·h a.s schoob. food and shelter for senior citizens. entertainment and jobs for our younger generations. and visitor attractions that "ill increase our commerce'!

Also - and I cannot stress Good Toilets." There will this too much - public restrooms should be clearly marked with signs that say MEN or WOMEN. If there have to be symbols instead of words, the man symbol should clearly be a man, and the woman symbol should clearly be a woman wearing a giant. unattractive "A-line"" style sk irt.

But for all the flaws of our public toilets, they stand head (har!) and shoulders above those of much of the rest of the world. In parts of Europe , when you enter a public restroom. you often find yourself face to face with some hideou s dripping slime-covered contraption originally built by Vikings out of· pet~ified mastodon bones. And as if that's · not scary enough, sometimes there"s a lurking '"auendant"" who might belong to a completely different gender from yourself, and who ex~ects you to ·tip her even though it 's , clear that neither she nor anybody else· has ever actu- · ally cleaned the restroom. as evidenced by the pres- ence of bacteria the size of• wolverines.

To this day,' unfortunately, this is the' image that comes to my· mind whenever I hear the' wort:ls "Great Wall of' China."

Arrangements are being handled by Hall Funeral Home in from Page A1 and staff members establish relatiomhips with the students, and these relationships help each individual student while also helping Rio Grande improve its retention rate for its students. The PAC program is under the guidance of Rio Grande's Title Ill grantfunded program, which is involved with several initiatives to improve academic quality and student retention at Rio Grande. Thom Mollohan , advising specialist for the Title Ill grant, explained that the relatively new PAC program is running very smoothly. "The personal advising coaches are staff administrators and faculty who volunteer to work with four to eight students during their first year at college,'" Mollohan said. The students chosen for the program are selected because there is some evidt<nce (from data such as grade point averages and test scores) that they may have difficulty acclimating academically to the col~ lege experience. In order to help these students succeed in college, they are paired with the PACs who give them some extra assistance. ""The personal advising as coaches serve resources, as allies,"' Mollohan said. Historically, most academic advisers at universities play passive roles, only providing assistance when the students come to them. However, the PACs at Rio Grande initiate meetings with students to see if they need help and provide assistance in any way possible. The PACs often make contact with the students in the summer before classes begin. Once the fall semes· ter starts, the PACs meet with the students once a week to discuss how classes are going, they discuss any areas where they are having difficulty and personal struggles. "Someti mes the discussions are not specifically related to academic progress, but they are very real issues that may ultimately affect their academic success," Mollohan said. Rio Grande has 4l PACs , and the students who took part in the program in the 2003-2004 school year were very po>itive in how the coache> had helped them . ··1 didn't get any negative feedback at all from the stu· dents,"" Mollohan ~aid . The comments he did receive about the program included statements such as: "'I felt that I had someone who cares about my educa: lion and helping me through college."" and ""He was easy to talk to and when I needed help he would help me,"" and ··1 wouldn"t be enrolled it if weren't for him."" One concern with the program was ensuring that the faculty and staff have enough tin1e to work With the students. and Rio Grande is working with the PACs to make · sure they have the time needed to do the advising. It is hard to quantify the effecti vene" of the PAC in regard to student retention after just one year of operation , but fvlollohan said the figures and data so far are encouraging. The comments from the students alone point to how valuable the program already is and how much it has been helping Rio Grande students. Last year. 188 students took part in the program, and this year 216 are in the program. The increase in size of the number of PAC students goes hand-inhand with the overall increase in numbers for first-year students · at .Rio Grande as there were 441 first -year students· last year and there are a record 517 first-year students at Rio Grande this year. ""The advising coaches work very hard. They put enormous time and effort into working with st udents," Mollohan said. "They set an atmosphere for success for the students by offering encouragement and assistance, but also by challenging them and pushing them.'"

GALLlPOLIS - Becau se more crashes involving property damage occur during the winter months than any other time, AAA East Central encourages motori.sts to be prepared for adverse conditions as the weather turns cold. "In 2002 . sleet and snow contributed to more than 205,000 reported crashes ,'' said Terri Rae Anthony. AAA safety adviser. "Many of these could have been avoided by some adequate preparation for winter driving." AAA East Central recommends motorists follow these simple guidelines to get ready for winter driving: • Make sure> the battery and charging system are in good condition. Cold weather places high demands on vehicle electrical systems. • Have the brakes inspected, and check that they apply smoothly and evenly to help prevent wheels from locking when roads get slippery. • Equip the vehicle with snow tires which have 30percent deeper tread than standard tires. Keep the tires properly inflated. The air Inside pressure in tires will drop 1-2 pounds per square inch for every I 0-degree drop in outside temperature. Underinflation can reduce trac'tion and damage tires. • Choose narrow tires over wide tire for the best snow traction . Wide tires "float" on top or snow. while narrow tires cut through it for better traction. • Make sure the engine coolant provides adequate anti-freeze protection. A 50/50 mi~ture of antifreeze and water provides protection to -30 degrees fahrenheit ( -34 degrees Celsius ). • Visibility is very important in adverse weather conditions. Replace wipers that streak the windshield, and consider using winter wiper blades that have rubber covers to prevent snow and ice buildup from impairing effectiveness. Fill the windshield reservoir with an antifreeze washer solvent. • Keep the gas tank at least half full at all times to mini mize condensation that can lead to gas line freeze-up. • Carry a driving kit for use in the event of an emergency. The kit should include tire chains (if legal in the area driven), a small bag of abrasive material (sand, salt, cat litter), a snow shovel. a snow brush, traction mats, a flashlight with new batteries, window washing solvent, an ice ·scraper, a cloth or roll of paper towels, jumper cables, a blanket, warning devices (llares or triangles), a charged cellular phone, drinking water, a· pair of gloves and extra clothes. Safe winter driving isn't only about preparing your car for winter storms. Preparing yourself can be just as important "Because the task of driving is 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical, a prepared driver is as essential as a prepared vehicle," said Anthqny. "Getting the proper .• amount of rest before taking on winter driving tasks reduces driving risks and helps prepare the driver for emergency situations." AAA East Central is a notfor-profit association with 56 local offices in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and New York servicing more than I million members.

Jessica Davenport and Ashley Allen each scored six of lherr 17 points during a 170 first-half ·run to lead the Buckeyes, who will host Saint Joseph's on Sunday in the I I second round of lhe 16-team tournament. The Hawks beat Boston University 51-49 on Friday night. The Falcons put the clamps on Davenport early, which paved the way for almost everybody else in the lineup to contribute. All 12 Buckeyes scored and nine played at least L7 minutes. "llhink that's what happens when you try to take away one part of our offense," Davenport said. Ohio State was 13-of-20 from 3-point range and hit 57 percent of its shots from the field . Allen, playing her first game after missing almost all of last year and the second half of the 2002,2003 season with knee injuries, hit a career-high five 3-pointers and was 6-of· 7 from the field . " It fe lt good to return after being out for about a year and a half," Allen·said. "That was exciting." Caity Matter chipped . in with 12 points and seven assists, but it all staned with the 6-foot-4 Davenport. "Jessica Davenport is such a good player she dictates the defense," Miller said. "Our game plan was to sag and make them make shots. When Ohio State makes shots, they make you look silly."

Dawson gave lhe Redmen a two-goal edge eight minutes after his attempt went untouched in lhe left comer of the net. The score remained 2-0 entering the intermission. Despite the halftime advantage, URG coach Scott Morrissey was concerned about his troops at the break. "If they would have had a better day finishing in the ftrst half, we're probably tied at two or even losing," commented Morrissey. "It was a heck of a close game, and I lhought that opening goal in lhe second half kind of blew it open for us." The goal that broke RWC's back came in the second minute, when senior Simon Carey converted a head-ball in front of lhe net for the 3-0 advantage. Ryan Russell was credited wilh an assist on the Carey score at 43:22. Senior Michael McManus added the final goal at 27:23, when his shot caromed off RWC keeper Curtis Dawley for the 4-0 score. "To bounce back from a hard-fought match yesterday and come back again and do it today against a very good Roberts Wesleyan team, I'm just well-pleased with the guys," said Morrissey.

"A team is going to counterpunch," Buckeyes coach Jim Foster said. "You' ve got to do the same until you see what's going to work that night. We' ve got a lot of people who can shoot the 3."

(AP) - Purdue quarterback Kyle Orton did not stan Saturday's game against Ohio State, !hough he was listed as available to play. Orton has been bolhered by a right hip injury for the last monlh. He was benched two weeks ago against Northwestern, panly because of the · injury and . panly because of ineffectiveness, and sat out last week's loss to Iowa. Brandon Kirsch started the game. Orton, a one-time Heisman .hopeful, has struggled 111ightily during Purdue's four-game losing streak. He said earlier in the week that he was "5050" to play against the Buckeyes, but complained that the injury was so painful that he had trouble sleeping at night.

Alderson and umpire supervisor Rich Rieker made a presentalion to the GMs on Thursday, showing that nineinning games were played in 311 average of 2 hours, 47 minutes, up a minute from 2003. , In something that could someday lead to a speed up, the Arizona Fall League is experimenting wilh a rule requiring hitters to keep one foot in lhe batter's box, ralher lhan stepping out after each pitch. The penalty is an automatic strike, and Alderson said the rule might get a tryout in a low minor league next season. Alderson said lhat according to the QuesTec computer systern, umpires correctly called more than 93 percent of pitch· es. And they said that all 68 umpires met the expected standard of at least 90 percent. The percentage was much more mixed when it came to instant replay, which could be used on "boundary calls" whelher a ball was fair or foul, or whelher it cleared a wall or not. Cincinnati Reds GM Dan O' Brien spoke in favor. Expos GM Jim Bowden spoke against. "I was the 11rst one for it, back when the NFL went to replay about seven years ago. The first time it came up for a vote, 1 was the only one who voted for it." Bowden said.

"It's sary: Baseball is done looking at instant replay, for now. Big league general managers split 15-15 Thursday on whether to keep exploring replay, a straw poll taken following a postseason in which umpires reversed almost every wrong call. "Based on lhat vote, it's unlikely we'll do anylhing substantive in lhe next year to pursue instant replay," MLB exec· utive vice president Sandy Alderson said. The NFL, NBA and NHL all use some form of replay. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is adamantly against it and can veto any proposal by anyone to give it a try. "! understand lhat vote today, lhat lhere are people who want to keep looking at it," Selig said. "f'm not afraid to change. You never say never. "But lhe humanness of lhe umpires is part of lhe game. I'm satisfied where it is. I just don't lhink it would be a positive addition." Replay opponents got a boost in October when umpires oYertumed a pair of rulings in Game 6 of the AL championship series. TV gave fans a clear view of what happened - once lhe six umps huddled, it came into focus for lhem, too, and Alex Rodriguez was declared out because of interference on one play and Mark Bellhom got a home run on lhe olher. · "Had lhey gotten lhose calls wrong, would lhere have been more interest in pursuing instant replay? There might've been," Alderson said. Wilh lhat issue over for now, GMs turned their attention back to lhe main business at hand. That is, looking at trades and free agents. Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa seemed to interest lhe New York Mets, and lhose teams talked for a second straight day, ]]olding a lateafternoon session.

Md. - Eleven of the 30 team; in the NFL are 3-5. all sitting on the cusp of joi ning the postseason push rather than sliding into the dreaded real ity of playing otlt the string. That's where the Cincinnati Bengal s and Washington Redskins tinct themselves Sundav. facing each other knowing another ioss or two in November. essentially guarantees another year o.t watching playoff, on TV "These games over the next month become huge game,." Cincinnati coach Marvin L~wis ~saicl. "They really put the stamp on how yo ur season is going to be. what vmt do in November and December. 'vou·d like to get off to a fast start. We didn't do that. So now it's time to get down and play footba ll .'' The Bengal' and Redskins have combined for exact ly one playoff appearance in the last 12 years. when Washi ngton won the NFC East in 1999. If neither succeeds this year. the coaches will likely hear a reversal of blames: Washington's Joe Gibbs stuck with the veteran quarterbac k when he perhaps shou ld have tried the younger one, wh ile Lewi; went youilg whi le benching a veteran who played well a year ago. Gibbs continue' to support Mark Brunell. who is last in the league in competition percentage and has thrown for fewer than I00 yards in three of his last fo ur games. Gibbs let Brunell throw the ball just twice in the second half at Detroit a week ago. rely in g on the Redskins' top-ranked defense to hold on for a 17-10 victory. This week. the coach added a I0minute period at the !Jeginning of practices to· work specthcally on passmg plays. Fans chanted for backup Patrick Ramsey at the last home game two weeks ago. and they will surely do so again if Brunell continues to misfire. "I have played a long time, and I h_ave had a lot of success, and I am certamly not going to let six or seven games of not having the statistics that I want take any confidence away from me," Brunell said . "I am very confident in what I can do and how I can play this game. I see the field better than I ever have and my decisions are good. We are just not getting it done. and that falls on the quarterback. We wi ll get things going. · though." Cincinnati's Carson Palmer fo und success in last week's 26-3 victory over Dallas. completing 2 I of 32 passes, and he didn't get sacked for first time this season. Lewis says he doesn't have any regrets abo ut playing Palmer ahead of 2003 Comeback Player of the Year Jon Kitna. but the coach also says it's time for his second-year quarterback to demonstrate more leadership. "We 'keep growing as a football team as he grows. He has to command a bigoer presence." Lewis said. "I want him to be as demanding on everybody else as he is on himself." Cinc innati 's defense is ranked last against the run. a surpri se for the Redskins who played for Lewis when he was Washington's defensive coordinator under Steve Spurrier in 2002. The te mp- tation will be for Gibbs to lake the ball out of Brunell's hands again and simply run Clinton Portis, who already leads the league in carries and is on pace f~>r a . I ,600-yard season. Redskins tackle Chris Samuels can' t believe it will be that easy. He faced Lewis' defense in practice every day two years ago. and it had a similar feel to the tough defense he now sees daily under Redskins assistant Gregg Williams. "Very aggressive and blitzing,'' Samuels said. "They want to confuse the offense." Sunday marks Lewis' first return to Washington since his one-year stint with the Redskins. He was a steady voice in chaotic and unsuccessful surroundings that seaso'n as Spurrier tried to adjust to the NFL. Lewis said he has fond memories of Washington and that he learned things from Spurrier, although he declined to say what. "I wish we would have won more games, but I really enjoyed it," Lewis said. The Redskins remember Lewis as a coach who breezed through on· the way to better things. Lewis got his longawaited chance to be a head coach when the Bengals hired him at the end of the season. · "It was obvious that Marvin was onl y goi ng to be here for a year," linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "He almost left for Michigan State before the season was over. It's different with Gregg. There's security here. We know the coaches wi ll be here next year."

The fast starts have given Roethlisberger a nice cushion. allowing him to relax in the pocket and make throws without having to worry abo ut making a costly mistake . The Steelers (7-1) have taken good care of him, too. Roethlisberger has been sacked just nine times.

Garcia has marveled at the poise and presence shown by the 22-year-old. Chalk it up to innocence. "He doesn't know any better and he's playing free," Garcia said. "He's not thinking abo ut the situation, he's just goi ng out there and playing as if nobody is expecting anything out of him . He's playing great.'' · That could change, though. if the Browns could get ahead or if they find a way to knock the 6-foot -5, 240-pound Roethli sberger off his game. But how? "One of these right here," Warren said, raising hi s elbow. "Right in the throat, how about that?" But couldn ' t that result in a fine? "Hey," Warren said. "It will be worth it."

BY MIKE HARRIS Associated Press 8v MIKE HARRIS Associated Press Jeff Gordon would rather not dweU on what might have been. Told he would be leading the Nextel Cup points chase with two races to go if NASCAR had not switched to a new championship format this year, Gordon simply shrugged and smiled. ''That's good to know," the four-time champion said, "but that still doesn't really mean much. I've always said that the way you race is how the points are structured. "We still have a shot at the championship.'' Indeed he does. Entering Sunday's race at Darlington Raceway - a track where he has won six times, including five Southern 500s - Gordon trails series leader Kurt Busch by just 41 points. The Nextel Cup playoff-style format was the brainchild of new NASCAR chairman Brian France. It divides the season into two parts, with the top 10 drivers after the ftrst 26 races separated from the rest of the fteld for a 10-raoe showdown. At ftrst, nearly everyone else in NASCAR's hierarchy was against the idea, calling it too radical and unnecessary. Then Matt Kenseth turned the 2003 championship race into a joke, not only moving out to a nearly untouchable lead midway through the season, but going on to take the title with numbing consistency and orily one race wm. The Chase seemed the ideal way to allow NASCAR to get into a more competitive position in the fall, when baseball 's ' • '' '. . •' .• •• Darlington winner, won't be too daring at the start. . "It's really risk versus gain," he said. "If it's not a super risky move to do it, I'd love to have those five bonus points. "But I' 11 have nine · other guys around me who want those points. If it looks too dicey, I'll let them go. I want to win the race.'' Even though he has had considerable success on the narrow 1.366-mile oval - nicknamed the "Track Too Tough to Tame" - Gordon doesn' t believe he has an advantage. "Everything is unpredictable right now," he said. "You can get in trouble without really trying at this place. You're going to have to race smart here. It will be interesting to see who stays smart and doesn't make the big mistake here." The Cup drivers did get a chance to practice earlier Friday, and Earnhardt made a mistake that could have been costly. He hit the wall between turns one and two hard enough to knock the breath out of him for a few moments. His team quickly brought out a backup car and Earnhardt was able to get in a few laps before the practice ended. "I don't really know what happened," he said. "I just ran out of racetrack, got a little out \ •,.,-., ... - Hearing Aid Center 39 Destroyed 41 In llarnn 1312 Eastern Avenue • Gallip'olis, Ohio · 49 Teeming crowd 50 Brainpower 54 Animal !hat gnaws 55 Sprite 56 Opandic song 57 Peal< (prefix) $3 9 8!,!. 2004 HONDA EX ELEMENT 414 $1 8 400 HONDA ACCORD EXYL· $ 13S Joosling weapon t 36 Gainsay · 137 Women on campus (hyph.) 138 e.pioslon 139 Encoum~ (with "on I 16 Slow, in a way t7 Sprinted 18 01 birds 19 Pl&lty ~~~ 24 Sower's need 3t Walter or Eastwood 32 Kioo of com or cane 33 Gaelic 36 Female animal 36 -Lee Lewis 40 42 Like a mosaic FiSh peddle 43 E'i>'eSS 44 Wading bird Distar<:e """"" Oeoompose Have boina Wind' locale 94 A joln1 98 LftllC9'aph 99 NeighbOr o1 Peru 100 Spicy o 1 1 Is indebted 103 Magic 104 -Major 1OS Steam and double 106 Up-to-dale 108 109 Transponed 8ilows 11o Blacken wiltJ heat 111 Muggy t12 Efface I 13 lll·wil 114 Jacl<et with a hood 116 c~·· cousin 117Comedy 118 Haavy fabric 121 SoapstDrle 122 E.mange prenlum 123 Repasl 124 Oislrilxrte {with 'out') 127 Buddhist S8CI 129 Unruly crowd 131 Crone 53 Carried 55 Engage In swordplay 56 Smel 59 British longt!J 60 Dirt Eat2 61 Dawn 63 ss ones 65 Wllile or l'urlpbacl< 66 Dart< 6951\Jpid 64 Cha 82 Larger part 83 Racetrack shape 87 Morals 89 Hair prepallllion 90Lacymat 91 Fesliva 70 -the Kid 74 Fender mistlaps 75 CorWctor 73 Tempo 16 Farm arimat 71 Respond 92 Make oxpialioo 78 93 Colors 94V.95 O«:hhssra's place 96 Weill a lflrhTa'1 •••1 Provo's state :~the Web·looled mammal 79 Oar pin 81 Yearned CALL 740-446-1744 OR 800-634-5265 Now for an appointment WARNING SIGNS OF HEARING LOSS • People seem to mumble more frequently. • You hear, but have trouble understandlng all the words In a C011'19f'811tlon: • You o1ten ask people 10 repeat lhemaelvaa. mon.• M~l KM6655JNW parenth••••) NOVEMBER 16 • 9AM-4PM 2004 HONDA "VALUE PACKAGE" CIVIC Modei*ESI634W Nimble t29 Blond t 30 Chicago•• aitpOrt t4 Aim t S Anllered animal 49 Severe 50 Peevish 5t Brlllfanca 52 -de menthe 8t Norman Vli-<:ant - THIS TUESDAY ONLY! t28 vehicles 64SI\Jpld n eo TO THE FIRST 25 CALLERS 126 Strike with wonder t3 T...,.whaeled Horse-drawn carriage 48 Did sums 69 Soo.m, as a bell 70 Coacll 71 Danson or Tumer 72 Extra tire 74 Play FREE HEARING TEST Impaired t 25 Uncooked 47 75 .

The consolatton is that it happened early enou~h that I did get some laps in t e backup car." Because the crash took place before the scheduled qualifying, Earnhardt, will not have to start from the rear of the field despite moving to a backup cru:. . "Obviously, it's a break to start up front," he said. "But, one way or another, it would be just fine. It's such a long race, in 40· or 50 laps everybody will be somewhere else anyway.

Bv ScoTT WARTMAN For the Associated Press HUNTINGTON, WVa. Until this year, Mike Baker had become accustomed to seeing deer in his back yard in Barboursville every day. Now, Baker said he rarely sees adeer, thanks to the efforts he and hundreds of other hunters have put into the uman deer hunt in Barboursville Park each year. The state has used many methods. such as the urban deer hunts. to allow hunters to kill more deer and keep the deer population under control. The state 's deer population ballooned in the 1980s and continued to escalate to about I million, where it stands today, causing the number of car accidents and damaged lawns to rise with it.

Not as many people come to Bob Reynolds to ~et their deer stuffed at his taxidenmy business. · Reynolds said I0 years ago he would get 140 deer a year to stuff. Last year, he only had 30 orders for deer mounting. Yet while hunters may want more deer, statistics of traffic accidents as well as the interaction between humans· and deer in nei~hborhoods suggests the need for continued aggressive hunts. The number of traffic accidents involving deer in West Virginia has increased almost five times since 1985, when 3,844 crashes were reported compared with 17,180 deerrelated crashes in 2003, according to statistics from the DNR. In Barboursville, where the urban deer hunt occurs, deerrelated traffic accidents have decreased this year, said Police Chief Alan Meek. Between May and November 2003, II acctdents in Barboursville involved deer, Meek said: This year during that same timeframe, there have been about four crashes, he said.

National Retirement Week is sponsored by the National Retirement Planning Coalition, a group of financial indusry organizations whose goal is to educate people on the issues related to retirement planning. And it appears that most people could benefit from this type of education. In fact, the evideuce suggests that most of us aren't saving enough for retirement - and we don't even know how much we should save. Consider the following: • The U.S. personal savings rate, as a percentage of disposable personal income. was just 2.1 percent in 2003, according to the U.S . Department of Commerce. 1\Yo decades earlier, in 1984, this rate was 10.8 percent. • Only about four in 10 workers have calculated how much they 'II need to save to live comfortably in retirement, according to the 2004 Retirement Confidence Survey, published by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. These statistics are telling a pretty scary story. What can you do to make sure it isn't your story? Take these following steps: • Envision your retirement lifestyle. When you think of "retirement," what images come to your mind? Will you travel the world? Open a small business or do April E. Rice some consulting work? Devote your time to charita. ble activities? The first step toward achieving your ideal retirement is to envision it. • Put .a "price tag" on your retirement. Once you know what you want to do during your retirement, you need to calculate, at least in broad tenus, how much it will cost. Specifically. you'll want to know about how much money you'll need at the time you retire, how much income you might have during retirement, and ' how much you'll need to withdraw each year from your various retirement plans (IRA, 40 I (k), etc.). Obviously, these calculations can be complex, so yo~ may want to work with a financial professional. • "Ratchet up" your retirement savings. Look at your current retirement savings vehicles. Are you contributing the maximum amounts to your traditional or Roth IRA and your 401(k)? If you can't afford to "max out" on these plans, put in as much as you can. So, for example, whenever you get a raise in salary, increase the amount you put into your 401(k); if you get a bonus, a tax refund or another "windfall," put part of it into your IRA. • Invest for growth opportunity. If you' re going to achieve your retirement goals. your money has to have the opportunity for growth. Consequently, you will need to devote a considerable part of your portfolio -your IRA, 401(k) and any other investment accounts you may have - to stocks. Historically, stocks have outperformed all other asset classes - bonds. government securities, certificates of deposit. etc. Of course, it's true that stock prices will fluctuate in the short term. But you can reduce your investment risk by purchasing quality stocks, holding .them for the long term, and combining them with other investments in a diversified portfolio. Please remember that past performance does not assure future results and stocks are subject to market risk to include the potential loss of principal invested. Plan for retirement - all year long If you want to make progress toward your retirement goals, use National Retirement Planning Week as a starting point - but don't let it be the end. Keep planning, saving and investing all year round. (April E. Rice is an investment representative with Edward Jones Investments, located at 990A Second Ave. in Gallipolis, phone 4419441.

South Central Ohio gas prices drop GALLIPOLIS South Central Ohio gas prices were back under the $2 mark for motorists this week The current price of $1.989 a gallon resulted from a 5.3 cent decrease in the cost of unleaded, self-serve gasoline. According to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report, the national average price of self-serve regular gasoline dropped below $2 per gallon this week after flirting briefly with setting a new . record high price above $2.05 per gallon prior to the presidential election. The decline in gasoline . prices comes as the cost of crude oil also retreats from a high of near $55 per barrel two weeks ago to approximately $48 per barrel today. If the price of crude oil continues to fall, consumers can expect further decreases in pump prices between now and the Thanksgiving holiday. The lower prices for both oil and gasoline are attributable to six weeks of continuing increases in inventories for both commodities. The higher inventories have occurred because U.S. energy producers have made steady progress in · recovering from the effects of Hurricane Ivan, which caused substantial disruption and delays to energy production and shipping in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Louisiana coast, where multiple refineries, terminals and pipelines are located.

Pit bull shot after attacking three people AKRON, Ohio (AP) -A police officer shot and killed a pit bull after it terrorized a neighborhood, attacking a woman, her daughter and a teenager. Lakeysha Jones, 27, said she heard her children yelling shortly after they left the house about 7 a.m. Friday to go to school. She looked out the window of her home and saw a pit bull attacking her 10-year-old daughter Lazaria in the driveway. · The girl's parents ran out in their pajamas and her father punched the dog, but it wouldn't stop biting the girl, her mother said. ''The dog had her," Jones said. "It was locked on her leg. I was yelling, 'Get this dog off my baby."' Neighbor Wayne Santos, 50, hit the dog with a broomstick as he joined in the chaotic effort to free the girl. Lazaria eventually got away and needed five stitches to close a wound on her leg. The dog then bit Lakeysha Jones on her right leg as the family struggled to get back into their home. The dog later spotted Eric Santa, 16, as he walked to school and bit him on the leg as he kicked at the animal.

Take for instance Margaret McClelland : She came to Gallia County around 1825 with her husband and small children. · But shortly after arriving, Mr. McClelland died. According to the Gallipolis Journal, "Margaret contracted to pay a thousand dollars for a farm, in installments, relying solely on her industry and economy to be enabled to meet her engagements. Without ploughs and horses or other stocks, she commenced farming, and so industrious and so successful was she, that she was enabled to meet all her engagements, to purchase wagon and team and needful appendages to her farm. "For the last 20 years, ( 1830-1850) she supplied a number of families in town with marketing from her garden, orchard and field, and in winter many poor families have been furnished fuel from her lands. She had long been a member of the Presbyterian society of this place, and was always among the tirst in furnishing cheerfully a support to the minister of that church, and its improvement." Margaret was 56 when she died in 1850. Her farm passed down to her children, who eventually sold out to the state of Ohio for the building of the Epileptic Hospital. Charlotte Berry was born in New York in 1804 to Mr. and Mrs. Sandford York. When Charlotte was a young girl, the family headed to Ohio by way of a large raft on the Monongahela River. Charlotte's mother took sick. The family .stopped at one of the small settlements in Pennsylvania so · Mrs . York could recover, but in a few moriths she had died. The next summer the fami 1y built another raft and pushed on to Pittsburgh. Here they remained for one year. It was during that year that Mr. York married a Miss Cooley. Following the wedding the family bought a flatboat and continued on their journey to Ohio. "They landed at Gallipolis to tarry overnight and lay in some provisions, but finding such kindness manifested toward them by citizens, they were induced to remain and try their fortunes among them." One of Charlotte's sons, David, remembered his mother mentioning the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Vanden, who then lived on First Avenue, across from what is now known as the Our House. Charlotte was present in about 1819 when James Lane was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. She watched as Lane sat on his coffin eating gingerbread · and chewing tobacco while his funeral sermon was being preached. ·The hanging, which is the county's only court-ordered hanging, took· place at the corner of Third Avenue and Pine Street. In 1822, Charlotte married Elijah Berry, who was one of the first settlers in the Kyger bottoms of Addison Township. Charlotte died in 1883 at the age of 78. Charlotte gave birth to seven children, but five preceded her in death. Thomas Shaver was born in 1793 in the state · of Delaware. He came to Ohio in 1817 by boat with his relatives. They had to stop at Gallipolis because most of the family was ill. They were treated here by Dr. Jon as . Safford. Soon Shaver found work in Gallipolis and lived with his family both in town and across the Chickamauga Creek before moving to Addison Township. One person wrote of Shaver: "He was remarkable for his endurance, and many fabulous tales are related of his ability to run down foxes and deer." It was reported that Shaver once walked and ran to Chillicothe and back, wbich is about 120 miles, in one day. "He worked for John P.R. Bureau for years, .traveling home, a distance of nine miles, after his day's work and returning the next morning. This astounding feat of endurance was kept up for years." By religion, Thomas was an Adventist. In 1848, he said that the Lord appeared to him in a cloud and predicted that he would live to the end of the world. He built a platform on his farm and expected to ascend to heaven on his old white mare in 1848 when many Adventists were predicting the end of the world. The horse finally died in the 1850s, but Shaver continued to hold to his beliefs until his death in 1883 at the age of 90. (James Sands is a special correspondent for tire Sunday Times-Sentinel.

The original movie, \9S8's "Child's Play," had ~orne darkly funny lines but its premise was truly scary; the idea of a loy coming to life and wreaking havoc is a legitimate childhood fear. (Admit it: 'The Twilight Zone" episode with Talking Tina still freaks you out 40 years later.) This time, though, Don Mancini (who has written all the Chucky movies and makes his directorial debut) dives into deep camp, cramming the screen with pop culture references and Hollywood in-jokes. One need only witness the presence of camp director John Waters, playing a paparazzo who stalks camp queen Jennifer Tilly, to recognize the direction we're headed. Tilly - who provides the voice of Chucky's wife, Tiffany, and starred in "Bride of Chucky" six years ago plays herself here in a moviewithin-the-movie: a bigscreen rendering of the ~hucky urban legend, titled ';Chucky Goes Psycho." : Rapper Redman also shows op and plays himself; the running joke with him is that the co-star of the movie "How AP Photo Killer doll ' Chucky" returns as a father faced with the challenge or raising his killer child doll, "Glen " in "Seed of Chucky." High" is planning to direct his own movie , about the Virgin Mary, in which Tilly the sex kitten is dying to play the lead. There are references to everything from Martha Stewart and Britney Spears to "The Shining" and "Chinatown." Ryan Seacrcst blares from a clock radio and an "Access Hollywood" correspondent reports from the movie set. You half expect Gruden himself to appear, he's been described so often as a Chucky look-allke. (The ending clearly sets up a sixth installment in the franchise , though, so there's still time.) So yeah, "Seed of Chucky" is incredibly knowing. But Rogue Pictures, which is releasing the movie, didn't know that it would be OK to show it to critics before opening day. It's a tactic reserved for truly abominable films, and it was unnecessary here. Even the title sequence is funny: Tiny Chucky sperm swim furiously toward their eggy destination to create the titular spawn. But when Chucky and Tiffany finally meet the child they never knew they had -· because, you know, they died at the end of the fourth movie and have come back to life here - they find that their offspring is sexually ambivalent and speaks in a British accent (Billy Boyd, who played Pippin in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, pro- vides the voice). Chucky (voiced as always by the sardonic Brad Dourif) insists that the child is a boy, despite his anatomical incorrectness, and wants to name him Glen. Tiffany sees the softer side of her child and wants to name her Glenda (an homage to Ed Wood). Chucky wants Glen to be a killer like his old man; Tiffany wants a more wholesome life for Glenda and insists that they go through a 12-step program for their homicidal tendencies . Both agree that they need to transfer their so uls to human bodies because they're sick of being dolls, and they go after Tilly and Redman. Among the truly twisted image s that appear during this pursuit: Tiffany flashes her naked doll breasts, Chucky - urn provides ·a sperm sample, and Tiffany injects it into a tiedup Tilly using a turkey baster. If nothing else', "Seed of Chucky" truly earns its R rating with great enthusiasm and creativity. • "Seed of Chucky," a Rogue Pictures release, is rated R for strong horror violence/gore. sexual content and language.

As we know now, the sold-Qui November 2003 show was more like the rapper's penultimate waltz. Like Michael Jordan, JayZ's idea of "retirement" apparently is a fluid thing. Shawn Carter si nce ha s returned to launch - urn. sort of - a tour with R. Kelly, which famously has been plagued by the R& B singer's pullout amid accusations of violence and a lawsuit. And you can't flip around on the radio these days without hearing the insanely catchy mash-up of Jay-Z's "Encore'' with Linkin Park's "Numb." To paraphra se a country song, how can we miss him when he won't go away'? Members of the Roc-AFella faithful don't have to burden themselves that question. which is probably a good thing. If nothing else, "Fade to Black" proves that the cult of Jay-Z is a formidable force to behold - especially here in his hometown (he grew up in the Marcy Projects in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn). He'll start a song - "Big Pimpin ·," for example , or "lzzo (H.O.Y.A.)" - then stop rapping after a couple of lines, and literally every single person in the audience knows every single word and can finish the song a cappella. Male, female, black, white, Hispanic - doesn't matter. Though Jay-Z himself has a low-key presence. each new guest who joins him on stage ups the energy level , from Memphis Bleck to Mi ssy Elliott to Mary J. Blige. His covert love interest, Beyonce, absolutely tears it up and upstages Jay-Z himself with "Crazy in Love"; in black An intimate look at hip-hop artist Shawn Carter.

Perfonmances like that make you wish directors Michael John Warren and Patrick Paulson had crafted "Fade to Black" as a pure concert lilm. Just when things really get going. they cut away to Jay-Z sitting in a studio with various producers and posse members, bobbing his head as he samples beats and hooks for '"The Black Album." The rapper\ soft-spoken narration, as he describes what's going on in hi s mind while preparing for his alleged final album and concert, also drags the momentum down.
