In the past five races, he had four wins and a sixth-place finish. He's only 18 points behind Kurt Busch heading into Sunday's final race. Breakthrough season culminates in one last dash to the finish By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week With only one race remaining, five driver s are takin g !he first Nextel Cup championship chase down to the wire. Jimmie Johnson's Southern 500 victory, his fourth in a span of five races, has enabled him to draw to within 18 points of Kurt Bu sch, who finished sixth. John son's teammate , Jeff Gordon , finished third and is now 21 behind Busch. Those two are the most likely threats to Bu sch, who, like Johnson, has ne ver won a championship. Gordon has won four. Busch led Johnson by 247 points following the Oct. 10. race at Kansas Speedway. Since then, Busch has fin- ished in the top 10 irl every race ex-· cept one, and .yet Johnson has managed to trim 229 points from Busch's lead. During the five-race period , Johnson's average finish has been 2.0. Busch, whose engine failure in Atlanta relegated him to 42nd, has averaged 13.4. Gordon has averaged 10.2. The race isn't limited to just those three , but Dale Earnhardt Jr., who trails Busch by 72 points, and Mark Martin, 82 behind, will need some help . Ju st winning at Homestead won't be enough for those two . They have to hope the three drivers at the top have trouble. Stranger things have happened, though. In fact, stranBer things have happened almost every week. . . This is the first season of NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup, a new championship format that creates a postseason contested from among the drivers who finish in the top 10 after the season's first 26 races. Those races, have become, in effect, a regular season. Earnhardt Jr. entered the race-offs with the edge. A week later, Busch moved into a tie, and he has held the advantage ever since. But his margin has dwindled after each of the past four races. "I'm ecstatic to be in this position," said Busch. "If things don't go our way, we still know that we put up a great fight." Contact Monte Dutton hmd4858@peoplepc.com at (Do those) who keep railing on NASCAR about these fines actually have a clue to why they are trying to discipline the drivers for this? They need to complain to the FCC; they are forcing NASCAR and others to do something about the language and other actions deemed ·obscene." While you or I may not take offense to the word Junior used. it is a primetime show and kids are going to be watching. If .the networks won't use a time delay to edit such language, then the responsibility has to rest'wtth the drivers or any 'other athlete or celebrity (remember, the new FCC f1nes are in place because of the outcry about the Janet Jackson "wardrobe ma lfunction ," which, personally, Ifeel would be less offensive than the language).

Are your yard, home and barn ready for winter? While it is still enjoyable working outdoors, make a checklist of things to do to avoid possible wmter damage . Consider cleaning out all gutters and drainpipes. Clogged gutters allow water to freeze in the gutters. As water freezes and re-freezes in · the gutters, water may seep back under the shingles causing water damage to interior walls and framing materials. Overflowing gutters may also splash water onto sidewalks. which freeze into icy patches. Make sure Jownspouts carry excess water several feet away from basement areas. Frozen ground may allow draining water to tlow back towards the basement. instead of soaking into the ground. Check out the venti lation ducts and openings for insect nests, bird nests and leaves blocking their airtlow. Many of our winter animal respiratory problems are due to poor air circulation within the barn. Check all air filters in the furnace area. Inspect your home and barn roofs for possible damage and make needed repairs. If you have not installed frost-free hydrants in the barn, do so and save yourself a lot of grief. Hauling water from the house can be diiTicult and time consuming when water i$ needed for the livestock and your pipes are frozen . Turn off outside water spigots and drain pipes. Drain and store water hoses not needed until next spring. Install up to code electrical devices to heat the water troughs to keep them from freezing. Check the various doors and windows around the house and barn to make sure they properly seal out the winter winds and cold . Check insulation strips and door brushes. Check for tree branches and shrubs that have grown too close to 1he buildings or wires. Remove them with care, before they Iall and tear off the electricity, cable and telephone wire s. Check your snow removal equipment and supplies. Bring out the snow shovel from underneath the house. File out the nicks along the blade and make sure the handle is free of splintered wood. If the shovel is broken, replace it now before you have need of it. If your tractor has a snow blade. find it and store it nearbv so the blade can quickly be hitched up when needed.

VIEW READER'S Dedication Sunday, November As soon as I saw the tape of a U.S. Marine shooting a wounded insurgent in Fallujah, I knew there'd be trouble. The Iraqi had violated the rules of war by fighting from a Mosque and was left for dead in combat. But he wasn't dead . So when a squad of marines entered the Mosque in a mop-up operation and the prone insurgent moved, a young Marine shot him dead. But the tape of the incident actually helps the Marine because you can clearly hear him yell to his squad, "He's (blanking) faking he's deadl He's (blanking) faking he's dead! " Then the soldier shoots. On the tape you can see the insurgent move before the soldier pulls the trigger. , One day earlier, another Marine in the same unit was killed by a booby trap which was strapped to a dead insur- Bill O'Reilly gent's body. The enemy in Iraq rejects all rules of warfare, and American troops know it. Iraqi insurgents and foreign terrorists routinely dress in civilian clothes, hide behind civilians while shooting, mount operations from inside Mosques, wear the uniforms of pro-America'\ Iraqi police and National Guardsmen, attack civilians, and on and on and on. Havi~g survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War, I know that life-and-death decisions are made in a flash. If that wounded insurgent had a grenade or other explosive device, the entire marine squad and the photographer could be dead right now. In a killing zone, one cannot afford the luxury of knowing what is certain. If that young Marine had homicide on his mind, he would have entered the Mosque firing. But he did not. The Marine proceeded cautiously, and reacted to perceived danger. Another wounded Iraqi in the same room identified himself and was taken prisoner. This was not some My Lai action. But the so called "human rights" groups are all over the incident, calling it a "possible war crime." What a bunch of bull. The Marine made a decision that was reasonable. His own words before the fact clarified the danger he felt. Most of the American press has been cautious in covering the Marine controversy, although the LA Ttmes ran this sub-headline: "Marine May be Charged in the Fallujah Killing of an Unarmed Fighter. The Footage Airs on Amb TV, Further Tarnishing America's Image." Now, there's nothing factually wrong with that headline. But does it reflect what actually happened? Or i~ it designed to put the Manne and the USA in a dubious light? You make the call. The P ~ ntagon is not releasing the name of the Marine. and is investigating. Both of thqse things are fair. But this case is not compli. cated, and anyone condemning that soldier should himself be condemned. The war in Iraq as well as the war on terror is as , ugly as it gets. Mistakes will be made. But thi s action is not one of them. Dear Editor: -- --.. Joe and Dorothy Thompson Cheshire TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Nov. 21, the 326th day of 2004. There are 40 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History : Forty years ago, on Nov. 21, 1964, New York's Verrazano Narrows Bridge, connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island, opened.

Patty also requires the children to follow safe bus rules. · All of this was very evident on N<1v.,3.._when there was an accident on Swisher Hill involving the school bus and a car. The bus was partially off the road, showing the driver tried to avoid the accident. We asked our grandsons what Patty satd to them when the accident happened.

Both school districts are · sorely in need of new school buildings, .their supenntendents say. School facilities plans call for three new high schools, two new elementaries and renovations to other schools, at a combined cost of more than $85 million. The city school district's latest plan is four years old, and carries an estimate of $35.3 million that may inflate when redone. The county plan is estimated at $50 million. Because of the "two AEP power plants located in the county school district, the local share is much higher than in the city. While the state would pick up 69 percent of the city district's construction costs, it will only pick up 25 percent for the county district. State Rep. Clyde Evans said this is unfair, and has introduced a bill to change the way school funding formulas are determined. The current system punishes a district like Gallia County in which the income level falls below the median, but, because of the power plants, the per-pupil property value is above the median . "This is a flawed way of determining the wealth of the district," Evans said. If Evans' bill is successful, the local share in Gallia County district would fall from 75 percent to about 50 percent. There is no guarantee of passage, however, and stop ahead.' Third is the ;top sign with a stop bar painted on the highway. When traffic is stopped at the stop bar the white line painted across the lane - there is approximatel-y 1.500 feet of sight distance in either direction." According to Filson, recent accidenh at the intersection were not related to traffic exiting 33 onto 681.

''I'm going to fight for it as long as I'm in Columbus. but I cannot be sure when it will go through."

"We have families with moderate incomes that struggle to make ends meet, and are being asked to vote for additional millage," Evans said. "That's the problem we have in Galli a County in geneml." In fact, both the city and countv districts have faced a, dismal record in attempting to pass either bond issues for new construction or levies for operating costs. Since 1974, the county district has passed only one bond issue and three operating levies, while six bond issues and seven operati'ng levies have failed. In the city district, only one operating levy has passed since 1977. Four bond issues, six operating levies and an income tax have failed.

Ben .s express r1de? . , . • BY JOE KAY Associated Press • CINCJNNATI The Bengals' next opponent has· n't lost in a long time. The season is at a make-or-break point. Chad )ohnson is run· nin~ his : mouth to build excitement. Sounds familiar, doesn 't it? One year ago, the upstart Bengals forged an identity and jump-started their season by knocking off the 9-0 Chiefs at Paul Brown up Stadium, backing Johnson's guarantee of a win. They ' re looking · to do it again Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers (81) are on an equally impressive roll, winning seven in a row, their longest streak in three vears. with rookie Ben Roethli sberger running the show. With the kid quarterback from nearby Miami of Ohio, a bruising running game led by an old standby, and a blitz-crazy defense orchestrated by former Bengals coach Dick LeBeau, the Steelers have emphatically emerged as the league's front-runner. Previously unbeaten New England and Philadelphia tried to slow them down, but got beat handily at Heinz Field. The Browns failed miserably last week in Cleveland. Now, it's up to the Bengals (4-5), who are pretending it's last year all over again. "Kansas City was on top of the world and.· everybody was talking Super Bowl," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "And the same is being said for Pittsburgh right now. It is a similar situation. "We obviously handled ourselves in a way to be successful in that situation last year, so we ' r,e looking to do the same thing. " The parallels abound. The Ben gals' . 24-19 win over the Chiefs sparked a four-game winning · streak that put them in playoff contention for the first time since 1.990. This time: they've won two in a row and gotten back a familiar feeling. Receiver Chad Johnson is even ruminating about a showy touchdown celebration, though stopping short of guaranteeing anything a concession to his oldschool head coach. "We're getting on a roll about the same time as we were last year," Johnson said. "The offense is clicking right now, running and passing . So it's going to be a good one." Their best shot at pulling it out involves the other Johnson - Rudi, who ran for 123 yards in Pittsburgh's 28- 17 win on Oct. 3. No other running back hd reached 100 yards against the Steelers. The last three teams - Patriots , Eagles and Browns - have run for 96 yards combined. "Take nothing away from him - he's a powerful running back - btlt at the same time, we just missed a 1ot of tackles," linebacker Joey Porter said. "J think if we work on tackling, take care of the little things, we'll be all right." Everything they do seems to turn.out right these days. "That's what happens when you get hot - everybody plays great," Rudi Johnson said. "You look across the buard, everybody on their team is playing great." Things seemed ominous when Roethlisberger was forced to play because of Tommy Maddox's elbow injury in the second game.

This old guy wanted to arm wrestle him. Please, the New York Jets running back thought as he sized up the ~ompetition, you're like 65 ; 'But the senior citizen insisted , so Martin figured he'd pin him and rejoin the party. But Jim Brown never went down easily- in anything. "I couldn't believe it," Martin said of his first encounter with the former Cleveland Browns great, now one .of his good frien.ds . " He was talking about how strong he was and he said, 'Put your arm up there. ' The guy is strong. He put me to shame. He had a little struggle, but it wasn't too long before he put me down ." Martin has gotten the better of Brown ever since. · Earlier this season, he passed the Hall of Farner on the NFL's career rushing list. Currently • seveGth with -12.653 yards, Martin can move up another spot and . make some history this Sunday when the Jets (6-3) face the Browns (3-6) in a key game for both 'teams. Going into the matchup, Martin has gained 984 yards, leaving him 16 shy of joining Barry Sanders as the only backs in league history to begin their careers with I 0 straight 1;000-yard seasons. . Brown didn ' t play 10 :years, picking up 12,312 yards in nine before packing up his helmet and shoulder pads at the peak of his playmg career to make movies. Sanders, too, bowed out pefore he was done. • The 31-year-old Martin shows no signs of slowing. And as .has been his style since being drafted in the third round out of Pittsburgh by New England in 1995, the humble Martin is downplaying any personal success. · "In the midst of it, it hasn't really hit me as like, ' You have accomplished this, yau have accomplished that ," ' said Martin , just 87 yards behind Tony Dorsett (12.739) for ftfth on the although career list Pittsburgh's Jerome Bettis is even closer to Dorsett. "When lam done, !think it'll be something great that I can go back and watch some films with my kids when I have them and say, ' Look. there's goes your daddy right there.' "!really relish that. I think that will !Je one of the best parts about it." Something i'S mtssmg, though. And Martin 1.\'0uld gladly erase his 'na!Be from any. record book to acquire it. "The one that I'm trying to accomplish," he said, "is winning the Super Bowl." The Jets need to bounce back if they're ever going to get him to one. After opening 5-0, they've lost three of their last fo6r and trail the first-place Patriots by two games m the AFC East. The playoffs, which seemed a certamty a few weeks ago, are fading into the distance. Last week's 20-17 overtime loss to Baltimore was particularly painful. The Jets were again guilty of clock mismanagement, a proQlem that has plagued coach Herman Edwards since he took over in 200 l. "These are the kind that·put a dagger in your heart," ·Martin said afterward. "The kind that hurts the most." In a league where players are often celebrated for their outrageous behavior on the field and the problems they find off it, Martin stands apart. He's not flashy, arrogant or troublesome. . Like Brown did before him, Martin makes 'tacklers look silly and then handles the aftermath with grace. • • • H S S - I ........., ' NASCAR WEEKEND Busch wins pole for season-ending race ~toops, WAtd- Texas - · was caught 'by AUburn in the $Cason and third under Adrian P~ersoh ran fGr 240 latest AP poll:- The .Soon~rs riutgained Baylor 501-156 yards, including three second- remai_ned , secoild b~hind top- yards. ~ Sooners have Won half touolidowns, and No. 2 rated , Southern Cahfornta -'.n 23. s,tr~tght regula!-s,~asy Oklahoma got, the lop&ided the BCS sta)ldings, but lhetr _game~. . . ~ it needed for the.

''I wa~justjoking in the prequalifying interview that we needed a pole to get into the Bud Shootout, and now here we are," Busch said after taking the lop spot in qualifying Friday for the season-ending Ford 400. · . His first official pole in two years qualified Busch for the made-for-TV Shootout, a race at Daytona in February for the previous season's polesitters. It also could make his job easier Sunday, when he starts the race Stmday with an 1S-point lead. Four drivers are bunched within 82 points of him in the closest championship battle in NASCA R history. "It is a tremendous plus for us to be in thi s position to start up on the pole and to have the other competitors behind us," said Busch, the last of 55 drivers to make a qualifying run on the I 112-mile oval. The pole also ~ives Busch the best opportunity to earn a five-pomt bonus for leading at least one lap in the race. Busch needs all the edge he can get with Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Mark Martin gunning for him. A matter of two or three pPsilions could spell success or failure in the race. It's the second week in a row that the fourth· year Cup &iver will start from the top qualifying spot, thougli last week's pole was handed to him as the points le~der when time trials were rained out at Darlington. This is the first pole Busch has won onthe track since taking the top spot here in November 2002. He went on to win lhat mce, although the Homestead rrack has since been reconfigured with more banking in the turns. Busch's Ford turned a lap of 179.319 mph Friday, el!Sily beating the 179.307 of Roush Racing teammate Greg Biffle for the third pole of his career. ' "It was just one of those laps," Busch said.

G e c£eff King Richard ·and Longshot Martin enjoying being part of chase Pettys see hope for success BY MtKE HARRIS Associated Press BY PETE IACOBEW Associated Press DARLINGTON, S.C. The King of NASCAR sits ina brown leather chair inside hts spacious motorhome, retlecting on how another Nextel Cup sea,on has almost passed without a Petty Enterprises car in Victory Lane. "It's not too good now," Richard Petty says of his team, "but we're like everybody else out there, we're goi ng to start all over again next year." · Unless Kyle Petty or JetT Green pulls off the remarkable and wins the season-endtng Ford 400 al Miami-Homestead Speedway this weekend. it'll mark five years since a Petty car won a race. The team, founded by Richard 's father, Lee, in 1949. h<t> won only three times since Richard Petty took his final checkered !lag 21 years ago. . Petty, 67, grows more frustrated each year that clicks by without the familiar taste of success. But he believes strongly it's still possible for the family's team to compete m today's high-tech big-money •Sport. "We did everything by the seat of your britches. We didn't :have computers, we didn ' t have engineers. The drivers and crews got some big hammers and beat on it until we got it right," Petty said. "W.hen I came along, we put good workers together," he said. "Now, you've got to have good workers, but you've ·got to have good irleas." Those ideas are harder to come by for a company that's gotten by on the Petty family 's Southern roots, down-home personality and . remarkable ability to succeed m the roughneck . tobacco-chewing world of early NASCAR. The company holds l 0 championships and 268 victories, all but three of those coming between 1949 and 1983. Patriarch Lee won three NASCAR titles when stock car racing was largely seen ns a Southern curiositr Richard's tulent and style - to this ctny, he's rarely seen without hts trademark sunglasses, cowboy hat and boots - intrigued gen. orations of ntce fans throughout . the country on his way to it record seven Nextel Cup titles. Kyle, Richard's boy, ~as next in succession. But he couldn't match his father's imposing legacy despite moderate success - his eight NASCAR victories all carne with other teatns. Since Kyle folded his pe2 team into Petty Enterprises five years ago, the company has continued its struggle to rediscover the same winning touch the family had for all those seasons. Part of the reason, Kyle Petty says, are the multi-car corporations like Roush Ractng, Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing that began well atier the Pettys and successfully combined sponsorships and modem know-how. "It's a lot easier to take a startUp company to the top than to rebuild an IBM that's been there before," said Kyle, who runs the company's daily operatiom. "Do you know what I'm saying?'' , The younger Petty says hts father gets impatient at times. but understands the changed landscape. "Any time you're used to winning like he is, you're frustrated," Kyle satd. ''I'm frustrated." · With two races left. the No, 43 Dodge made famous by Richard Petty and now .d~ven by Jeff Green, is 29th in pomts. Kyle Petty 's No. 45 car is 33rd. "Honestly, I thought it would come faster than this;" Kyle Petty says . Much of the teant's future hopes were pinned on Richard's grandson and Kyle's son, promi sing young racer Adam Petty. The fami\y 's fourth generation driver, Adam was 19 when he died running laps at New Hampshire International Speedway in 2000. Richard says Adam's death took the spint away from the family and the race shop. "Everybody sits down und says what they need to dn, what'd they'd like to do or what they'd like to see," he said. "All of a sudden, that book '' dosed. You don't get to finish that book. That's what makes it diffkult." NAStAR chairman Brian France says the Petty . name remains a marquee one tor the sport. Besides, France added. "he was rn y first idol." Mark Martin insists he's never had as much fun in a race car. Pressure is so'mething for the four guys in front of him as they head into the final weekend of t~ closest championship in the history of NASCAR's premier stock car series. "For us, this is all a bonus," Martin said. "Just to be part of it and running so well is just a tremendous feeling." He trails leader Kurt Busch by , 82 points entering Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But, with Jimmie Johnson. Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. bunched Earnhardt between them, a lot of things - most of them bad for the other guys - would have to happen tor Martin to emerge as the champion. Martin. one of the sport's biggest stars for nearly two decades and a four-time series runner-up, knows his quest for the title is a longshot. Bul he says it's good just to be part of it - especially after what he went through just to get into NASCAR's new lOman , 10-race playoff-style championship chase. "It' s been one of the biggest honors of my career to be part of this chase and to be competitive as well," Martin said. ''There have been times when I wish we could have had a lillie bit more good ' fortune but : as far as the performance goes, I've been very pleased. It's been more than I could have expected for 2004." The often pe ss imistic Martin came into the seaso n drenched in gloom and doubt, the memorie s of a miserable 2003 season still fresh and painful. After going all the way to the final race of 2002 before losing the title to Tony Stewart by just 38 points, Martin was expected to be a contender the following season. ln'stead. his No. 6 Roush Racing team struggled mightily just to be competitive. He had only 10 top-10 finishes, failed to win a race for only the third time since I 'J90. failed to finish seven races and wound up an embarrassing 17th in the season standings. "I was afraid 2003 was going to set the lone for the twilight of my caree r." Martin said. ''I was just sick about that. It took a iot of hard work by this'team to get back to thi s point ." Under NASCAR's new points system. the 'eason was divided into two dtsttnct parts, with the first 26 races determining the championship contenders for the torace shootout. Martin finished eighth in the regular season. but it wasn't easy. "I have fought like a dog in 2004· just to be in this," he said. "When we made it. our season was made . And then we woke up the nex t morning and that wasn't uoing to be enough now. We had to go for all of it. "That's how every competitor is , I'm sur~. But this part is fun, just racing as hard as you can against a lot of great drivers. This will be a year I'll remember as long as I live. whate\~er happens on Sunday." • If Martin doe sn' t win the title this vear, he ' ll only have one more chance . The 45year-old driver announced recently that 2005 will be his final season. Team owner Jack Roush. who has fielded cars for Martin since 1988. ·says it would be a shame if hi s old friend finishes his career without a championship. "Mark has given so much to this team and this sport. he deserves to be remembered as a champion, whether he wins the big trophy or not ," sa id Roush. who got his first title last year with Matt Kenseth . "But you can't take away anything from what Mark has done in hi s career." Roush added. " He 's been one of the best for a long time. and he's still racing as good as he ever did." As much as he would love to be champion. Martin says he isn't worried about how he will feel if it doesn't happen. "I don't think I have one coming to me .'' he said. "If l can earn it. then I'll ~et orre ." Martin said these- da" he often reflects back on bCing a kid from Arkansas who wanted to race in the big time ami got to live his dreat1t. . "Over the years. somehow. I've managed to earn a lot of respect and. to me. that means more than any trophy because that didn't happen by luck or accident." Martin s:1id. "I did go out and earn that. I'm not goi ng to :-.bed a tear for someth ing I didn't earn ... So. Martin will go into Sunday' s race feeling no pressure. hoping for the best and not fearing the worst. "We ·11 'go to Homestead and ract' fltr a win. which i~ exactlY what we did last week and the week before and what we do every race." Mart.in said.

BY JoHN RABY Associated Press DAVIS, W.Va. - The brook trout took the fly eagerly, with a swirling rise that parted Red Runs tea-colored waters. Steve Brown netted the fish and then paused for a moment to admire it. Rose-colored spots, each ringed in ·pale blue, dotted its dark-olive flanks. Its bright-orange fins and belly echoed the vivid autumn foliage of some nearby hardwoods. On any other stream, a 10inch brook trout in spawning colors would be a miracle of nature. On Red Run, its a manmade miracle. Acid · rain killed the little Tucker County stream sometime during the 1970s or 1980s. Biologists who surveyed it found no trout, nu minnows and .precious few insects. The creek sprang back to life in 1996, after Division of Nat ural Resources crews began (lumping limestone sand, or "fines," onto its banks. Calcium from the limestone neutralized the acid, much the way calcium-based antacid tablets neutralize stomach acid. DNR workers captured native brook trout from a Pendleton County stream and transplanted them to Red Run. They thrived. In fact, they immediately began .to spawn. "It surprised us how quickly this stream came back," said Browt;J, a senior DNR~ planner and avid trout fisherman. "We expected to get a tishable brook trout population eventually, but we reached our goal . much more quickly than we anticipated." The experiments success spurred DNR officials to treat more streams with limestone fines . Sixty-one streams are on the treatment list today. "Most of them are small, headwater, brook-trout streams," Brown said. "We've re-established viable trout fisheries in roughly 25Q miles of water, and were getting ready to start treatment on another I00 miles." . Mo.st of the limestone~treat­ ed streams are tributaries of the Middle Fork, Shavers Fork, Buckhannon, Holly, Cranben·y, Cherry and Dry Fork rivers. The idea of treating aciddamaged streams with limestone isn't exactly new. A young DNR biologist named Pete Zurbuch experimented with the concept in the mid-1960s. His approach used drum-shaped waterwheels with limestone gravel placed inside. The drums tumbling action ground up tile gravel and released the sand mto the stream. Sunday, November 21, 2004 DNR administrators embraced the concept during the 1980s and built limestone treatment stations on Otter Creek and the Cranberry and Blackwater rivers. The stations worked, but they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buil& and tens of thousands for each subsequent year's maintenance. Brown said the DNR found a less expensive approach when one of the limestonedrum facilities broke down. "We figured there· d be a deterioration i.n water quality when we took the station down for repairs," he said. "Much to our surprise, the water quality held up because the limestone fines that had been deposited · below the drums were continuing to neutralize the acid."

GALLIA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT With flu season just around the comer and the vaccine in limited supply, people are concerned about getting the flu and how to just survive. · Although vaccination i> the best protection against influenza. everyone can take practical steps to help prevent the spread of and protect themselveS"from the flu. One way is to avoid close contact with people who are sick and keeping your dis. tance from others if you are sick. Whenever possible, stay home from work, sc hool, and running errands when feeling ill. Another way to help prevent the spread of di sease is simpl y coveri ng your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. It's not only polite, but also very effective in decreasing the chance of spreading disease. The most effective way to slop the spread of disease and protect yourself from getting sick is WASHING YOUR HANDS . Nothing works better than old-fashioned soap and water. · There are rnany ·hand sanitizers on the market today, but even !hough these sanitizers are . being used, you still ·need to wash your hands with.soap and water at some point. These sanitizers are good to use. if you are unable to wash your liands ·right away, but as soon as you can get to some ~oap and water, it is best. The hand sanitizers not only kill bad bacteria on the skin, but unfortunately also kill the good bacteria that helps protect you from disease. Always use the hand sanitizcrs in moderation. Now, how can you tell whether you ha ve the cold or the nu? There are some similari ties, but many difference>.' Knowing the dif- ferences can help you evaluate your condition. For instance, a person with a cold· rarely has a fever, but with !he flu a fever can run as high as 102 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and can last anywhere from three to four days. A cold can cause slight aches and pains, occasional headache, and mild fatigue. The flu often causes severe muscle aches and pains, along with a prominent headache. Other symptoms of the flu include extreme weakness that lasts two to three weeks, severe coughing along with chest discomfort, and occasionally a stuffy nose, sneezing and sore throat. So as you can see, there are major differences between the flu and a co ld. but both can result in discomfort and are highly contagious. By following the previously mentioned simple protective measures along with getting plenty of rest, eating right, and tak ing a daily dose of an approved vitamin for your particular needs. the effects of the flu season can be minimized. · The hea lth department still has flu vaccine available for persons li sted as high risk . As of Nov. 18. 2,079 doses of va~:cine have been administered ro those Ohio residents \vho meet !he CDC guidelines for v~ccination. Additionally, the Oallia County Health District reminds parems thai children need 80 percenl of their immunizations by the age of 2.

The Chamber of Commerce contracted with a company out of Byesvi lle, Ohio, to bring a number of professional floals to the Nov. 21 parade depicting such characters as Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, Little Red Riding Hood as well as Bible figures like the wise man. · There was a big crowd for this ftrSt official day of Christmas shopping, but the floats turned out to be somewhat "grotesque" and the chamber had to apologize saying, "we did not get what we paid for." Congress finally decided on Dec . 26, 1941, that they had enough of this foolishness of moving Thanksgiving around and so they passed a law which was signed by the president setting national day of Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.

Gallipolis merchants planned a big parade and Santa was to arrive by seaplane landing in. the Ohio River. But cold snowy weather forced the "jolly old elf' to use a fire truck instead. Hunting season, unlike now, began on Nov. 15, so gun enthusiasts were not affected by Roosevelt's tampering with the calendar either way.

Let's look at both: • 40l(k) performance- The performance of Ihe individual accounts with in your 40 I(k) can affect the ovemll balance of your plan. When you established your 401 (k). you decided on a suitable asset allocation, with different percentages of your total portfoli o going to stocks, bonds , money market accounts, government securities, etc. Over time, these percentages can change - a lot. During the long bull market of the 1990s, the equity portion of your 401 (k) may have grown to such levels that your portfolio was taking on a higher level of risk than that which you were comfortable. Now, though, the situation is different. From 200 I through 2003, the stock market has had mixed results, and 2004 has not been a particularly good year. So, within your overall portfolio, the value of stocks may be down, which means that your other 40l(k) investments - including government securities and "guaranteed investment contracts" (fixed-income vehicles !hat your plan may purchase from an insurance company) - may have taken on a greater prominence. Thi s could be a problem . Ultimately. you need your 401 (k) to grow, so that you can build resources for retirement. And, to achieve this growth, you need significant exposure to stocks.

By Ken Henry and Don Keith. Forge. 352 Pages. $25.95. Although Ken Henry and Don Keith's book "Gallant Lady" is about a ship, it is a biography of sorts. It follows the life of the USS Navy submarine Archerfish from birth (its launching on May 28, 1943) to death.. (its destruction on Oct. 17, 1968, as a practice target for another sub) . The book also deals extensively with the three peacetime commissions for oceanographic research that occup ied most of the sub's lifetime . Archerfish had a long career - 25 years. After the war, it was decommissioned and re commi ssioned twice, and was useful even on its last day. During the war, Archerfish carried out seven patrol s. The first four were not noteworthy. but the fifth signaled its entry into naval history in a big way: In late 1944, Archerfi sh torpedoed and sank the huge new air. craft carrier Shinano in Japanese waters. Di sp lac ing 72,000 tons, the Shinano was the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine. It never go t to launch a single airplane; it was unfini shed when sunk during it s transfer from Tokyo Bay to the Inland Sea to escape increasing aerial bombing raids . . When the skipper of the Archerfish, Joseph E. Enright. had been in command of the submarine Dace . he had missed a chance to sink the Japanese carrier Shokaku, which had participated in tbe attack on Pearl Harbor. l'Jisappointed in him self. :Enright took th e, unusual step of asking to be relieved 10f hi s command , and went b n shore duty . Wh en he was ready to return to th e sea, he was given Archerfish and later scored his hi stori c sinking. ·· Another irony is that when cates matters for a research lab's chief of security.

This most personal tllm from the Spanish writer-director. who has shifted from the ridiculous ("Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown'') to the sublime (''Ta lk to H er") throughout hi s storied career. is also his most challeng ing. It 's so complicated in terms of structure. tone and subject matter. it demands repeated viewing. Not that that would be a bad thing. As it morphs seamlessly from comedy to romance to drama to film noir, "Bad Education·· features rich performances and sumptuous visuals that very much deserve a second look. Playing three incarnations of the same role, Gael Garcia Bernal shows more depth and range than even his recent excellent work as young Che Guevara in " The Motorcycle Diaries"' would sugges t. The handsome young actor is also astonishingly passable in drag: He's stunning as a blonde bombshell, but even more convincing with long. feathered brown hair (eerily resem- bling Juliette Lewis). When we first see Bernal, though, he's sporting a scruffy beard as he walks into the otlice of film director Enrique Goded (Fele Martinez). He says his name is Ignacio, and that he's an old friend of Enrique's from school. Though the two haven't seen each other in 16 years, Ignacio looks different from how Enrique remembered him. (In haunting flashbacks to their repressive, Franco-era Cmholic school days, we learn that they fell in love with each .other aS boys, and that a jealous, abusive priest drove them apart.) Ignacio says he's an actor now and insists on being called by his stage name, Angel. He offers a shari story to Enri4ue, who 's looking for inspiration for his latest film. It's called 'The Visit," and it's about their chi ldhood together. While Enrique isn't interested in rekindling their romance - "There's nothing less erotic than an actor looking for work," he tells his assistant - he is intrigued by Ignacio's writing. As Enri4ue reads the short story, Almodovar jumps all over in terms of perspective and time, from Madrid in 1980 when the characters are adults to flashbacks to their you th . Characters who initially seemed villainous, like the school principal. reveal them selves to be surprisingly sympathetic. Sometimes Sunday, November 21, 2004 (Left to right) Enrique (Raul Garcia Forneiro) and Ignacio (Ignacio Perez) discover love, cinema and fear in a reli· g1ous school at the start of the '60s in "Bad Education." they're even portrayed by different actors: Padre Manolo (Daniel Gimenez-Cacho) becomes Mr. Berenguer (Llui s Hamar), and he teaches Enrique the truth about Ignacio/ Angel , w)1ose name is really Juan, and who dresses as a woman in fantasy sequences. As in all Almodovar 111ms. " Bad Education" features striking visual images, some of which walk the line between sincerity and camp. Ignacio/Angel/Juan jumps into a shimmering swimming pool in slow motion, dressed only in hi s tightywhiteys, over the head of Ei1rique, who's waiting . nervously in the water b!!low. The real Ignacio (Francisco Boira), a drugged-out trannie, collapses over a typewriter while writing and smas~s his/her heavily made-up face into the keys. Your appreciation for all this will depend on your level of familiarity with and/or reverence for Almodovar 's work. If you're not a Emmy-winning 'Door to Door' duo Macy and It'S Schachter tugging at us again with 'The Wool Cap' Bv JANICE RHOSHALLE LITTLEJOHN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES William H. Macy and director Steven Schachter have oftlcially joined their production companies. And they've got the T-shirts to prove it. "See, we 've started many organizations," says Macy, "and the first thing you do is you get the T-shirt. You gotta have the T-shirt. " The gray cotton shirt T is emblazoned with the logo for Dog Pond Syndyk Works and the silhouettes of two men in hard hats and sledgehammers. And Macy wants to see the on a whole emblem wardrobe: "Shorts! We could get boxer shorts or something. Yoga pants.'' " Where would you put the logo1" Schachter asks. The last time we saw these two yucking it up like this was at the 2003 Emmys, where they won awards for TNT' s " Door to Door.'' (The story of a man with cerebral palsy determined to become a salesman won six altogether.) They had written a joke ' acceptance speech because they didn ' t expect to win. then delivered it anyway. dispassionately thanking various networks that had passed on the film and all the agents they had left. . · The morning after, TNT wanted them to do something else. But, Schachter says laughing: " We won't go into the sordid details, but it was not a slam dunk to find a project." "It was brutal ," says Michael Wright, senior vice president of original programming of TNT. "No matter what you do, let's face it, is likely impossible to match in terms of its awards and its ratings." The key, Wright continued, was to find a project "that interested them and us the most" and that film is "The Wool Cap," premiering 8 p.m. EST Sunday on TNT. An adaptation of the I 962 lilm ''Gigot" - which Jackie Gleason starred in and cowrote- Macy plays a mute building superintendent with a checkered past who befriends an agile 9-year-old girl (Lauren "KeKe" Palmer) abandoned by her drug-addic.ted mother. Don Rickles, Ned Beatty and SAFETY FEATURES /HIGHLIGHT HYUNDAI'S SECOND SUV AP Photo Catherine O'Ham also star. " I had seen this movie as a kid," Schachter says. " But everyone has the same · memory as Steven," adds Macy. "They all say, 'A h it's so sweet. I saw that when I was I 2. I loved it.'" "Then we screened it and went, 'Oh my god, it did not hold up,'' ' Schachter says. " It was pretty much one note and then the story died. But the essence of the piece was wonderful ... so we pitched that (but) we wanted to make it a really urban, gritty Christmas story." With so much of the tllm centering on Macy's character, who has ~bsolutely no dialogue, writing it proved to be another big hurdle. " Since it's all mime, I just wanted to make sure that I could do it," Macy says. "It was a curve.ball in every single scene because we had to figure how we were going to have a dialogue scene with only one person talking. Steven's answer to everything was, 'You're very clever. I know you'll figure it out. You won an Emmy for God's sake!"' Macy and Schachter, both By ANN M.

There's more to the 2005 Hyundai Tucson than its affordable price. This new, five-passenger sport utility vehicle is the lowest-priced vehicle with an exceptional package of ' standard safety features, including stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. · Indeed. the Tucson. which has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price , including destination charge, of $18,094, has safety features not availat>le on some other SUVs with higher prices. This includes Hyundai's Santa Fe , which starts at $22,094 and was the company· s first SUV when it debuted in summer of 2000. The Santa Fe is still part of the Hyundai lineup out doesn't have curtain airbags and stability control. Despite the fact the Santa Fe and Tucson are just a few inches different in . exterior size and the the Tucson's V6 'is also available in the Santa Fe, Hyundai officials said the Tucson is designed to compete primarily with other small, entry-level SUVs . These include the segment leader. Ford's Escape, which starts at $19,995, and Honda's CR-V, whose starting MSRP with destination charge is $20,510. Stat>ility control isn't available on the Escape, and curtain and· front side airbags are optional. The 2005 CR-V has standard stability control with traction control, antilock orakes, front side airbags and side curtain airbags, but has a higher starting price and do.e sn't offer a V6. The · CR-V also includes anti· whiplaSh front-seat head restraints. Hyundal's Santa Fe, meanwhile. is going to move upscale in the company lineup, especially after its next generation model comes out early in 2006. For the 2005 model year, the Santa Fe no longer offers a four-cylinder engine. .But both a four-cylinder and a V6 are offered in the new Tucson. Buyers of the 140-horsepower, 2-liter. inline four can choose between a five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic. This engine, with maximum torque of just 136 footpounds at 4,500 rpm, is in the base GL trim level of Tucson only and is the same engine used in Hyundai's Tit>uron and Elantra cars. Tucson buyers who move up to the .173-horsepower, 2.7-liter. double overhead cam V6 can't get a manual. Only the four-speed automatic with a Shiftronic shift-ityourself mechanism is offered in the GLS and LX trim levels. Maximum torque from the V6 is 178 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm. This engine performed well in the test Tucson GLS. The vehicle didn't lag when I passed others on highways, and the engine worked well moving the more than 3,500-pound Tucson GLS up hilly, .two-Jane roads. Still, the 173 horses and 178 foot-pounds of torque from this V6 are only 13 and 16 more , respectively, than . the 160 horsepower and 162 foot-pounds that the CR·V's 2 .4-liter four puts out. Note that the CR-V as well as Escape with four-cylinder engines have higher fuel economy ratings than the Tucson. The top Tucson rating is 22 mpg in the city and 27 · mpg on the highway in a two-wheel -drive, four-cylinder model with manual transmission. The Escape's uplevel engine, a 3·1iter V6, has more power than the Tucson's V6: 200 horsepower and 196 foot·pounds of torque at 4,850 rpm . But transmission shifts in the Tucson were quite smooth, and the ride inside was mostly quiet. The worst noise occurred when the Tucson's 16·inch tires traveled on a highway that was rough and pitted from other motorists' use of studded winter tires. The independent. four-wheel suspension damps many road bumps, but the test vehicle bobbed gently up and down on some road undulations. There 's noticeaole body lean when the Tucson drives through curves. The Tucson has the typical tall SUV profile, and its approximate 5.5-foot height is similar to the CR-V's and Escape· s. But the Tucson's structure, based on a modified platform of the Hyundai Elantra car. puts seats in a comfortable position low enough so someone rny size, 5 feet 4, doesn't have to climb up to get inside, and high enough to provide good views out of the vehicle. I noticed, though, that pant legs tend to get dirty as people get out of the Tucson because they rub against the mud and dirt that collect on the outer door sills. The Tucson's power-assisted rack-an d-pinion steering has a mainstream feel. and the interior conveys a wellput-together look with easy-to-read gauges and pleasing fabrics .· The leather in the LX isn't rea l soft and supple. though, and I had mixed feelings about the "metallic grain" trim around the GLS gearshifter and center stack in the dashboard. The fine lines in this matte silver trim didn't do much for me. At least the exterior styling of the Tucson doesn't have the same awkward look that the Santa Fe has . Rear-s eat riders get decent room in the Tucson , including 37.2 inches of legroom. THis tops the 35.6 inches in the Escape and is less than the 39.4 inches in the CR-V. The Tucson has more cargo room - 22.7 cuoic feet behind the back seats and 65.6 cubic feet when these seats are folded down - than the CR-V's 15.7 and 35.7 cubic feet, respective ly. The Escape's cargo room totals 29.3 cubic feet beh1nd the back seats and 66.3 with the seats folded. Both four-cylinder and V6 Tucsons are available in two- and four-wheel • drive. Four- wheel-drive Tucsons come with a Borg Warner torque management system that monitors wheel traction, among other things. Normally, 99 percent of the engine power goes to the front wheels. out if slippage is detected. up to 50 percent of the power can be sent automatically to the back. This 50-50 arrangement can be locked into place with the push of a button on the dashboard, too. Safety items aren't the only standard features on this vehicle. Every Tucson comes with power door locks , power windows, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, floor mats, CD player. a washable cargo floor and heated outside mirrors. I ;ust wish a sunroof was availat>le on the base GL. As it stands, a sunroof can only t>e had if a shopper moves up to the Tucson GLS. where a V6 is standard. Hyundai officials loo k for some 40,000 Tucson sales annually, with 70 percent of them t>eing V6s and 60 percent oeing two-wheel-drive models. Target buyers are younger men who are single, newly married or have young families. For the Tucson. the National Highway Traffic Safety Admmistration does not provide crash test ratings, and Consumer Reports magazine does not provide a reliability rating. There has been no safety recall of this new SUV.

And it all falls onto one floor. The floor plan is intriguing. The lengthy entry foyer makes an elegant statement to visitors whose first glimpse of the interior is a very large, angular great room with ventless fireplace and two sets of French doors to the covered rear porch (the second of three porches). Note the wet bar for entertaining. But the key to this home is the kitchen and dining area and a superb master bedroom. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling, handy pantry and unique placement of appliances. lt also has two islands; one for food preparation, the other for snacking or informal meals. The master bedroom has a comer whirlpool, two sinks and large closet. It also has French doors to the covered porch. Within easy reach, too, is the laundry room. Th_e remaining two bedrooms share a large bath. A Suggested third bedroom could also serve as a home office, study or craft room. Dormers on the roof lend an air of a full second story. All in all, this home is great for a family or a couple looking to spread out. Design Features: .

The packages were sent to local soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany. "Three-quarters of the packages we sent went to local people" said Jan Cardone, organizer of Enduring Freedom. Still, some of the packages went to soldiers Cardone and her group have never met. "We don't turn anybody down" added Cardone who receives requests from strangers who have loved ones serving overseas and have heard about the Enduring Freedom support group.

AMVETS has formed in Pomeroy, with hopes of serving veterans of all wars, and particularly of restoring medical care for veterans through a local outreach facility.

There are now 59 members of the Pomeroy Post. Barker said the major difference between AMVETS and other veterans' organizations is that AMVETS accepts reservists, as well as any honorably discharged active duty veteran who has served any branch of the atmed services -· including the Coast Guard - since 1940. Any current member of the military, including reservists. S II II : • II • II II 11 II II II II II I II II II I •• II • II II II • I •.
