Dr. Danny Westmoreland, 47, a practitioner of family medicine in Mason is hopin~ some long overdue recognition can come to the family of the late Staff Sergeant Jimmy Stewart of West Columbia. He said the account of Stewart's bravery on May 18, 1966, in holding a position in spite of overwhelming enemy opposition for reinforcements to arrive before finally being killed in action sent chills through his body. "That showed what he's made of," Westmoreland said. "I pon't know if I would have don~ hat he did, but he did." Stewart's bravery and .valor were recognized posthumously on Aug. 24, 1967, when he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

"I think to do something with his name -.yill be well deserved." Westmoreland, a self-avowed pacifist, who enlisted to serve as a medic during the Vietnam War, said hc;aring of Stewart's deeds moved him to action. He said he paid for the Stewart family to travel to Washington, IY.O, to see Stewart's name enshrined on Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Westmoreland said one of the reasons for Mrs. Stitt not receiving any recognition for her son's valor was due to his being married at the time of his tour of duty. He said while Stewart and his wife were in the middle of a divorce, she was given all the recognition. tit. Westmoreland said Department of Defense hS agreed to award Stitt a clutch with the Medal of Honor emblem on it.

Last year, when comm1ssioners imposed 5 percent butlget cuts for county offices, Trussell's budget was not affected, but this year's appropriation is $60,000 less than last year's, according to Davenport. .

John Edwards, a multimillionaire trial lawyer from the South and relative newto Washington, comer announced Thursday he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination, saying he wants to be "a champion for regular people." Edwards chose an appearance on NBC's "Today" program to say, he was setting up an exploratory committee with an eye to getting into the 2004 race. He joins Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in a contest which has become more spirited in the wake of former Vice President AI Gore's decision not to run in 2004. Edwards' announcement came as no surprise since the frrst-term senator began mov(ng q~tckly into position in ·tbel last several ~ks. He gaVe a nf~t! address in Washington ' r in midDecember, &,peaking out against ~re'dent Bush's taxcut polic and saying the . nation n ded a n~<w intelligence 1i ency. Edwards said he will offer a dramatic alternat~e to President Bush's White House as somebody who comes from a humble back"ground, whose father worked in a North Carolina textile mill, and who understands the needs of ordinarY people. "The president has a different kind of administration that is run tOJa large extent by insiders and for · insiders," Edward~ said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press following his NBC appearance. "We need to give the American peo{fte that choice," he said. Edwards said he doesn't think his relatively .short time iri Washington will be a disadvantage and could actually prove beneficial because he feels closer to the needs of ordinary citizens like those in his home state. "I'm more than happy to be · judged od the basis of my ideas," said Edwards, adding that when people are considering "leadership in a time like this, the things that you look for are a clear view of America's role in the world, strength of conviction, good judgment and a willingness to ask hard questions." .Lincoln Heights fire Local fire departments responded to a fire at 1616 Lincoln Heights Tuesday at 1:48 p.m. VoJunteer firefi~hters from both Pomeroy and Middleport quickly extinguished a blaze which originated in a room inside the unoccupied dwelling.

Professor: Columbus can jump from staid capital to creative haven COLUMBUS (AP)- Urban design experts and civic leaders are looking to the tens of thou:sands of students who pass ·through Ohio State University and other local colleges as the base for a new, creative economy. Fostering urban neighborhoods and promoting high-tech industry are two ways experts say Columbus can persuade students to live and work in town after graduation. "You cannot underestimate what bringing 50,000 people (together) can do," Keith Myers of MSI, a planning and urban design firm, said of Ohio State University. "You live here a few years, and you find there's a lot . to like. Our biggest asset is the universities they ' re the recruiting tool." A new book by a former Ohio state prot;essor 0 f city and regional planning ranks 266 U.S. metropolitan areas on rk ~ wo • orce creativity, high-tech industry, innovation (based on patents per capita) and diversity as measured by a "gay index.'' In The Rise of the Creative Class by Richard Florida, Columbus ranks 33rd _ and it is 24th among the 49 cities with metropolitan populations of more than 1 million. Florida, who met with city offictals tn August, said Columbus is staning to tum itself around from a staid Midwestern capital to a hip haven for creative types. He credited the change to the preservation of urban neighborhoods with historic homes, such as German and Victorian :villages near downtown, and :the strength of the local gay ·population. Cities that are open to gays tend to be receptive to different or _colorful people in the arts or ·creative services, he said. · "In the pa~t. Columbus was 'kind of ~;epressed, but it completely flip-flopped, " said Aorida. who lived in Columbus in the mid, 1980s. "It has a Jot of ingredients to be another Austin, Texas"- the No. 2 city in his book and one known for its music scene and creativity. Elle Chute, of the retail design firm Chute Gerdeman, said keeping those urban neighborhoods thriving will help keep creative students in town. . "Every year, people come herefromallovertheworldjust to go to the schools," she said. "We need a lifestyle here that supports people from different backgrounds to interact - to play with each other. That's when you get some really neat sparks flying." Some Columbus fixtures that have helped attract creative-secvice businesses include ' the Columbus College of Art and Design and Battelle Memorial Institute, the world's. largest independent, nonprofit research institute. Ohio State's Knowlton School of Architecture has helped spawn dozens of archilecture firms, and the city is horne to three internationally known retail design fmns. Mike Brown, a spokesman for Mayor Michael Coleman, said the push for downtown housing could create the vibrancy that Aorida wrote about. 'That book was very well- · read in this community," he said. Myers said city leaders need to build on Columbus' strengths to boost its economy with erealive-service businesses. Dennison Griffith, president of Columbus College of Art and Design, agreed those businessneed more suppon from the city: He is on a special Greater Columbus Chamber .of Commerce committee looking at an economy with "enterpris- . · es that are no longer industnal but intellectual." Hearing set on whether Chiquita threatens to close Panamanian judge's court records sealed improperly· operation division· CINCINNATI (AP) Chiquita Brands International Inc. has cut off subsidies to a money-losing division in Panama that exports about six percent of the company's Latin .American banana supply. The company said Wednesday that the decision resulted from union leaders rejecting a proposal allowing the operation to be sold to a worker-owned cooperative. Chiquita said Puerto Arriluelles Fruit Co. can operate briefly without the subsidies, but if an ·agreement is not reached soon on the sale, the operation will shut down for lack of money. Armuel}e$ employs 3,200 workers along Panama's Pacific Coast. Chiquita said it has lost $90.mJIIion in six years from the division. The division makes up nearly a third of Chiquita's Panamanian operations. Chiquita pioneered the banana trade in the country a century ago and still accounts for 89 percent of its banana exports. '@JOThe decision should not affect Chiquita's Cincinnati headquarters, but it is a reflection of how the company will operate in a new era that began The company said in a statement that it presented a proposal to the government and the union, called Sitrachilco, to sell its farms to a worker-owned cooperative last month. The proposal was supported by the government, but not the union. "We regret that the union leadership has turned down our proposal, and we urge them to reconsider," Cyrus Freidheim, Chiquita's chairman and chief executive, said in a statement on Tuesday. "We believe strongly that our proposal to sell assets to a workerowned cooperative and continue to purchase fruit under competitive long-term _contracts represents a fair, responsible and long-term solution to a very difficult situation." Labor and weather problems have been behind much of the financial problems for Armuelles. In 200 I, workers exported approximately 6.5 million, 40-pound boxes of bananas. Chiquita's other Panamanian unit, in Bocas on the Atlantic Coast, exported about .15.9 million boxes of bananas. In a · letter to Freidheim dated Monday, government officials said the proposal "can serve as a basis for a satisfactory agreement." COLUMBUS (AP) - A court hearing has been set for next Thursday to determine whether the records of cases involving Franklin. County Common Pleas Judge John Connor as a defendant should be unsealed. Connor, 62, was charged with drunken driving in Delray Beach, Fla ., on Dec. 15. It was his second drunken driving charge in three years. Connor has acknowledged previous arrests. But few records have been found, leading officials to question where. they've gone. Monday, City On Prosecutor Stephen Mcintosh filed a motion in Franklin County Municipal Court requesting that a judge inspect sealed records involving Connor. Municipal Court Judge Charles Schneider set a hearing for I :30 p.m. next Thursday. "If there is probable cause to believe there are records, and that those records should not have been expunged! or there is some other bas1s ·for opening up any alleged records, the court will issue that order," Schneider said. Connor was convicted of drunken driving in the • Columbus suburb of Bexley in January 2000. lie was ordered to serve tl\ree days in alcohol treatment and lost his driver's license for four months. The Columbus Dispatch reported that public records and Connor's sworn testimony in 1984 before a disciplinary panel of the Ohio Supreme Court show the Florida arrest was his eighth for a drunken-driving offense . Court records show that Connor was charged with drunken driving in 1980 and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless operation. Connor has said a 1984 case involving drunken driving and cocaine-possession charges were reduced to misdemeanors and properly expunged. Cannot has . said he is unaware of any other records being sealed and never asked for them to be sealed. He thinks that all but three or four of his past cases were acquittals or dismissals that were wiped from his record properly. Mcintosh said it's possible that the records were expunged properly. He said charges that are dismissed even those involving .drunken-driving - can be expunged.

Murray: Bin Laden is not all (hat great How dare she. How dare l'atty Murray, Washington state's senior senator, heap praise upon Osama bin Laden, while condemning her own country. That's exactly what the Democratic lawmaker did in recent - underreported - remarks to a gathering of high school honor students in Vancouver, Wash. "Osama bin Laden has been very, very effective," she informed the youngsters, according to an article in the Vancouver Columbian newspaper. "We' ve got to ask, why is this man so popular around the world? Why are people so supportive of him in many countries?" Murray, w~o chaired the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee during the last session of Congress, offered her explanation for why the man responsible for the 200 I terror attacks on Washington and New York is - supposedly - so beloved. "He's been out in these countries for decades," she explained, "building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. It made tfieir lives better." Meanwhile, said Murray, the United States hasn't been nearly as generous as bin Laden, the mass murderer, who slaughtered more than 3,000 men, women and children at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in the Pennsylvania countryside. We haven't been out in many of those countries helping them build infrastructure, she said. How wot~ld they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan? Well here's a news flash for Murra;Y, the blame-Amenca-fust liberal: bm Joseph Perkins COLUMNIST Laden is hardly the selfless humanitari · an she portrayed. To the extent that he's built roads and other infrastructure, it has been to facilitate the terrorist training and relat~d activities of his AI Qaeda organization. H~'s built schools to indoctrinate youn~ Arabs io hate Americans (and Israelts). And he's built hospitals so that his trained killers remain healthy enough to wage their unholy war against America and its allies. As for bin Laden building day care facilities, well he certainly hasn't built that many, if any at all. For in Arab nations boasting fundamentalist governments - like Afghanistan under the Taliban- women aren't allowed in the workplace, so there's no need for day care. Murray says that bin Laden's generosity made life better for people in Afghanistan and other nations that provided him refuge. Yet, in May 2001, she was one of 13 senators who sent a letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell urging the Bush administration to provide additional emergency aid to Afghanistan to avert a humanitarian crisis of "massive prol'ortions." "The conditions m temporary camps in Af~hanistan and Pakistan are horrendous, ' the letter lamented, "and people are dying daily from starvation, cold and disease." So much for bin Laden's largess . ' · While Murray claimed that the United States hasn 't "been there helping" the suffering Afghan people, the fact is that the Bush admmistration provided Afghanistan $173 million in aid in 2001. - much of it, in fact, while theTalibari was still in power. For the administration felt compassion for the Afghan people, though it was understandably wary of the government in Kabul. though it was understandably concerned that the Taliban regime was providing a safe haven for bin Laden and his AI Qaeda terrorist organization . Murray, the former school teacher who was first elected to the Senate in 1992 - Washington voters fancied the idea of be in~ repr~sented b)' ~he ''StF called "mom 111 tenms shoes"' · cannot understand why her flattering remarks about bin Laden have provokea so ll)Uch sound and fury. She claims to be a victim of those who "sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide." She suggests that her critics are those "on the extreme fringes of society who try to exploit fear and uncertainty for polit-. ichl gain." · ' But, if anyone sensationalized and distorted, if anyone sowed the seeds of division, it was Murray herself. For her words implied that America's politicians and citizens somehow brought last year's terror attacks upon thetl\selves. And one needn't be an extremist to be offended by the Washington sena~ tor's flattering remarks about bin Laden. For there is nothing positive that can or should be said about an evildoer who has the blood of more than 3,000 innocents on his hands.

Bv JIM MuLLEN Our city friends Bob and Bev have spe nt many weekends at the farm with us over the years. They bring their kids, they ~o to the county fair, they watch the farmers plow the fields and cut the hay, they let their dogs run wild . Their kids love it. They can play wi thout having to have seven sec urity guards watch them every minute. The neighbor 's horses and chi ckens and goats am use them endlessly. Their dogs love it; they come home covered in mud, beaming with the sati sfaction of knowing .that if it was rotting and disgusting, they had rolled in it. Bob and Bev love it - she shops for antiques, he loves to help Sue .jn the greenhouses. The entire time they 're here they complain about how hard li fe is in the city, and how expensive. To hear them talk you would think I hey lived in a Third World country that was temporarily in-between dietators, not in the heart of Manhattan. First the French chef quit Cartier's school cafeteria, then Bev's supermarket ran out of white truffle oil. Their life is just one crisis after anoth- · said I guess we'll just have to heat U£ the leftover Boeuf Bourguignon 1f Bob hasn't given it to the dOj!S already. I had to explain to the chll· dren what leftovers meant. But it was good lesson. Now they know how poor people live.'' We listen to how much they have to tip the doorman , to how tiny their apartment is, to how bad the traffic is, to how loud the sound is from the disco next door at 3 a. m. · "So why don 't you leave and move to the country and start living like human s?" I asked. "Oh , no, we could never move here," Bob said. " You can't get a good bagel up here." .. "I never knew bagels had such power." "Well, it's not only that. There are no museums in the country." . "When was the last time you went to a museum?" "Not for, oh, well, since the kids were born. but we could go if we wanted to, and that 's the point. Besides, we know people that still go to museums, and they say there' s not er. much new stuff in them." Bob and "I was goi ng to make seared tuna ' Bev's children, Cartier and Bresson over squid ink pasta, but without are 12 and 15. white truffle oil that plan went right "So if we called our farm a out the window: You know what picky 'Farmer's Museum' it would be worth eaters Cartier and Bresson are. So I visiting, but if it's just a plain old .. farm, it' s, not. " "Exactly. Besides, thi s farm couldn't be a museum. It doesn't have a gift shop. Or cafeteria. Or public toilets . So don't try to pass thi s off as some kind of ' learning experience' for the kids. They're not a bunch o( hicks, you know." Hardly. This is a family of sophisti cated New Yorkers . So let's do the math . Not having to lock your doors at night or a good bagel? 'N'ot having to w.orry if yo ur kids are out joining the Crips and the Bloods or a good bagel ? Not having to pay $300 a month to park you r car or a good bagel ? Peace and quiet or a good bagel ? Seeing the stars at night or a good bagel ? A 14-room farmhouse or a good bagel ? . " But you don 't even eat that many bagel s," I told Bob. " I eat them all the time," he said. "OK, when was the last time you ate a bagel ? "I remember it well. I was at some museum cafeteria."

I know what a thrill it is for children to ~,'heck out books from their local libraries, but when those children forget where they placed them, forget the du(l dates or lose those books forever, it can be a problem for everyone. Parents and grandparents should keep track of all books checked out on the family library cards, because the fines accumulate in a hurry. Arguing over who is responsible can send the claim to collections, with added fines. Those who grumble about fines on their cards · should remember how much it would cost if they had to buy every book they wanted to read instead of borrowing them from the public library. DENISE VILANDRE, HURON, S.D. DEAR DENISE: Indeed. Even with library discounts, the cost of restocking our libraries is considerable. Read on: DEAR ABBY: On Dec. 7, 1968, a man named Richard Dodd returned an overdue library book to the University of Cincinnati. His greatgrandfather had checked out the volume in 1823. Although he did not have to pay the fine, the library computed the fine - and it would have totaled $22,646. LONG FRANK IN BEACH, CALIF. DEAR FRANK: In aneth· er 145 years it could have added up to some REAL money! Read on: , DEAR ABBY: That grandmother should have used this experience as a "fun" and instructive ()pportunity to show her grandchild the due date, mark it on the calendar and return ihe book together - BEFORE it was overdue.

During World War 11, my first library was a very small room on the upper floor of the old Grange Hall in the little., village of Savona, N.Y. Since it was close to my home, I alloWed to go there alon,e and choose my own books, even before I went to school. My family would read the stories to me. Those trips to the library were magical.

Families' roots run deep·at Ohio State CQLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)The roots of this family are tangled up in com, critters and Ohio State University. When she graduated on June 14, Angela Sue Bates fit a family pattern that.reaches back to 1909 - willl a generation leaving the campus, like grandfather-clockwork, every 31 years. "Ohio State was kind of ingrained in pur heads. But they didn't expect me to go," she said. "I was going whether they liked it or not." · Her father, David Bates, graduated in 1971. Her grandfather, Walter Bates, graduated in 1940. Her great-grandfather, Clarence Willson, completed his course work in 1909. The bloodline that runs scarlet and gray started within a couple of miles of Michigan, coursing through the agricul· ture school. Walter, of Wauseon, was det~nnined to graduate because his future bride, Mary Jane Willson, insisted he get a college degree before their marriage 62 years ago, . ''That was real incentive," he said. Like many other farmers at the time, her father, Clarence, attended farm-specific courses and took his lffiowledge home without a degree, 31 years before Walter graduated with a degree in agriculture education. "Dad Willson" was "excellent with raising hogs" and Dec. 3, 2002.

"People today don't realize what it's like to walk around with practically no money in your pocket," he said. "I did that for a long, long time ." In January 1933, when the federal government temporarily closed banks, Walter was lucky enough to have recently cashed a $20 check. "Many students were without any cash," he said. "They dido 't know what they were going to do to even eat. "I could get a meal for 25 cents, 28 cents with pie. That wasn't a very high-class restaurant, but that's what I di.d." . When his tuition money gave out, he went home. He returned to Columbus in 1938. "I survived because I had a goal. I wanted to reach that goal." With a degree, a wife and a farm, he launched his career as a "farmer and teacher both." The 100-acre farm, where he stiU lives, has remained in the family since 1865, growing wheat, com and soybeans and raising dairy cows and hogs. For five years, Walter taught .in a one-room school. He went on to get a master's in · education from the University of Toledo, teach science at various schools, become a principal and join the first wave of guidance counselors. "I had some long days," he said. "Pan of the time, I had some of the high-school boys help me with chores." That lifestyle held little appeal for his son. ··"After seeing what he went through," David said, "I never thought of being either teacher or farmer. He stayed busy."

Miami will face Ohio State for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl on Friday. (AP) Buckeyes defense hopes to be up to task PHOENIX (AP) - For all the talk this week about how powerful Miami's offense is, few people other than the Hurricanes have focused on the stinginess of Ohio State's defense. . "This is the best defense I've seen since I've been here," Miami offensive lineman Sherko Haji-Rasouli said. " Yoti can tell when you watch 'fil'm that they always have four, five, six guys at the point of attack. They swarm to the ball. It wtll be very difficult to get something ·going against them ." The second-ranked Buckeyes (13-0) are counting on their defen se once again to be the difference when they finish their season Friday night in the Fiesta Bowl against No. I Miami. . The Buckeyes are led by hard-hitting senior safety Mike Doss and fellow AllAmerican middle linebacker Matt Wilhelm . The defensive line can both pressure the quarterback and stop the run, and Chris Gamble is one of the top cornerbacks in the country. "I don't see any chinks in the armor," said Miami offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who has spent the past four weeks trying to find one. · "They do a great job of makin·g you execute and offenses have had a hard time doing that. We 're going to have to be patient and play hard and hope the ball bounces our way a little bit." Just a year ago, the Buckeyes' defense was far from a strength. They gave up 24.4 points, 138.8 yards rushing and 335.8 total 'yards per game and was a big reason why Ohio State struggled through a five-loss season. Defensive coordinator Mark Dantonio set out to change that immediately, gathering the seniors on his defense for early morning film sessions in the offseason. The hard work has paid off. "If that's what it takes , to watch film in the morning, that's what we had to do," Wilhelm said. "We knew it would take something more to compete for a national championship." Now the Buckeyes might \have the best defense in the country. They have allowed just 12.2 points per game - second best in the country - and have the fourth best run defense at 78.7 yards per game. They've held teams td a 36-percent conversion rate on third downs and given up only 54 second-half points. "We realized we could play that well if we believed in each other," free safety Donnie Nickey said. ·The Ohio State defense is predicated on stopping the run, something they did effeclively all year. If the Buckeyes succeed on · that front ,they figure the quarterback is bound to make bad decisions that lead to turnovers. IRVING, Texas (AP) Bill Parcells appears to have a. done deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Still, the two-time Super Bowl champion has walked away from deals that seemed done before, leaving some doubt about whether he's really going to make it to Big D. Parcells told ESPN, where he has worked as a studio analyst, on Wednesday that he was taking the job, and there were widespread reports that he would be formally introduced during a news conference Thursday. "I'm going to ,do it," Parcells said, according to ESPN.com. "Jerry has invested a Jot in the Cowboys and the thing that drives him more than anything else is his desire to win. That's the biggest common (denominator) we both have." Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple insisted no announcement was scheduled. Team owner Jerry Jones and Parcells' agent, Jimmy Sexton, didn ' t return phone calls to The Associated Press. The New York Times and Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the 61-yearold coach would travel to Dallas after doing his radio show in New Jersey on Thursday morning. "I never thought I'd be , doing this again- but you · never k12ow." Parcell s told The New York Times on Wednesday. Even before firing coach Dave Campo on Monday, Jone s had already had two conversations totalin g more than II hours with Parcells, who last coached in 1999. Citing an unidentified source, ESPN said Pa rcells sig ned a four-year, $17 . I million contract. The Dallas Morning .News, quoting Sexton , reported the same figures. The Cow boys have ~ad New York Jets coach Bill Parcells talks with reporters before practice Jan. 8, 1999 at the Jets training complex at Hofstra Un iversity in Hempstead, N.Y. Parcells is returning to the NFL to join the Dallas Cowboys. (AP) three straight 5- 11 seasons and are seven years removed from the last of their five Super Bowl championships. Parcells won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants and took the New England Patriots to the NFL title game before three seasons with the New York Jets. Parcell's career regularseason record is 138- 1001, and he 's 11-6 in the postseason. Only Tom Landry, the first Cowboys coac h, Don Shula, Chuck Noll and Joe Gibbs have more playoff victories. The 61-year-old Parcells coached the last of his 15 NFL seasons with the Jets in 1999. When he left that job on Jan . 3 , 2000, he said he'd never coach again and even wrote a book, "The Final Season : My Last Year as Head Coach in th e NFL."

New York's reserves he! ped in that effort, outscoring Toronto's back· ups 40-19, and helping the Knicks to their second Giants and took the New England Patriots to the NFL title game before three seasons with the New York Jets . Parce.ll"s career regularseason record is 4'8-l 00-1, and he's 11-6 in the postseason. Only Tom Landry, the first Cowboys coach, Don Shula. Chuck Noll and Joe Gibbs have more playoff victories. The 61-year-old Parcells coached the last of his 15 NFL seasons with the Jets in 1999. When he left that job on Jan. 3, 2000. he said he"d never coach again and even wrote a book, "The Final Season: My Last Year as Head Coach in the NFL." Since thep, he jilted Tampa Bay for the second time. Parcells was so close to joining the Buccaneers last year that he signed a contract. Tampa Bay, which wants compensation from any team that hires the coach. was scheduled to present its case to the commissioner 's office Thursday. Two sources within the league told the AP th at the Bucs would not receive any compensation becau se the deal Parcells signed was not forwarded to the league office and therefore never approved by commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Parcells first backed out on the Bucs in 1992. Five years before that, after his · first Super Bowl, Parcell s had a deal in place with Atlanta before then-commissioner Pete Rozelle upheld protests by ~ h e Gillnts. straight win and third in four ' ' games. - ·· ··, ~ ' "They're starling to feed off of each other," New York coach Don Chaney said. "That's the making of a good solid unit." AI vin Williams had 15 points and five assists, and Jelani McCoy had 13 points and 15 rebounds for the short-handed Raptors. who were without starters Vince Carter and Antonio Davis as well as forward Mamadou N'Diaye . In the only other NBA game Wednesday, Miami beat Atlanta 107-73. Toronto completed a winless five-game road trip by scoring only 13 points in the fourth quarter at Madison Square Garden. "When you're on a losing streak, you can't give a team opportunities like that you have to almost play flawles sly to win ," McCoy said . "When you ' re on a streak like this, everybody is going to smell blood and think they can get away with murder, but we've got to change people's minds about that." Bowl from Page B1 bound to make bad decisions that lead to turnovers. "Nobody has run the ball very effectively against us," Dantonio said. "We try to make the game one dimensional. So far we ' ve been successful." Now they' re facing their toughest test. Miami has the game's most balanced offense, featuri!lg big-play performers up and down the lineup. Led by quarterback Ken Dorsey and running back Willis McGahee , Miami scored a school-record 503 points, 4 1.9 per gan\e. The scary part was the speed with which points were produ ced - the average dri ve time on 67 offensive TDs was I :58, wi th lB scores coming in less I BEREA. Ohio (AP) Hours before leading the Cleveland Browns into the playoffs, quarterback Kelly . Holcomb warmed up his arm - and vocal chords. As rapper Eminem 's hit "Lose Yourself" boomed through the stadium"s loudspeakers, Holcomb pumped up himself and teammates by barking out the lyrics. "It's a good son11 . .You only get one shot in life and rou better make the most of tt," Holcomb said. paraphrasing the key verse. "It"s got a good message."' And for Holcomb, a fitting one. The longtime backup, who carne off the bench last week when Tim Couch broke his right leg against will start Atlanta. Cleveland's first playoff game since 1994 ,a s the Browns travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday for a first-round AFC matchup. It will be just Holcomb's fourth start as a pro, and the biggest .game of his .career -by far. . "We played a couple powerhouses when I was in college." said Holcomb, who played at tiny ~iddle Tennessee State .. "Nebraska almost killed me. They hit me on every play."" Most teams might panic at the prospect of having to play their No. 2 quarte¢._~ck m the postseason agamst one of the league's toughest defenses . Not the Browns (9-7), who have called on Holcomb before. / And he has always come · through. "There's no drop-off with Holcomb in," wide receiver Quincy Morgan said. "We still got a general who is going to lead us down the field. Holcomb would start for a lot of teams." Holcomb started the Browns' first two games this season, filling in against Kansas City and Cincinnati while ' Couch recovered from an elbow injury. Holcomb's season-opening start against the Chiefs was his first since 1997 for Indianapolis, and he made the most of it. He went 27-of-39 for 326 yards and ~e TO passes and would have led the Browns to a victory if linebacker. Dwayne Rudd had left his helmet on. In Week 2. Holcomb passed for 198 yards and two more TDs in Cleveland's 20-7 win over the Beng~ls. He didn't throw an interception in either game. Holcomb nearly rallied the Browns to a win over Baltimore on Oct. 6 after Couch suffered a concussion. He played most of the fourth quarter of that game with a broken leg. hobbling to the line of scrimmage and back to pass. Until he got the call last week. HolComb hadn't played a down in I 0 weeks, and it showed. Against Atlanta, he threw two interceptions, blew a I 0-point lead, and wasn't . sharp before finally throwing a fourth-quarter TD pass to Kevin Johnson and leading the Browns to a 24-16 win. "' Adjusting to the game's speed was the biggest challenge. "It wasn't moving a million miles an hour. but it was moving pretty good."' Holcomb said. "I didn't think I would miss some of the things I should have seen. There were a .couple of reads I didn't make, and I put our team in a bad position a couple times. But our defense played great. we ran the ball great and kind of compensated for me." ., 'I I NEW YORK (AP) . 9eorgia reached new heights m New Orleans, and Oklahoma rose to the occasion in Pasadena.

"We want what everyone wants: a winning coach," Brown said. "We aren't restricting ourselves to just looking at offensive people or defensive people. We will probably interview a number of people - both people who are here now and from the outside." LeBeau was fired Monday after a 2-14 season that was the worst in team history.

Steelers coach Bill Cowher confirmed Tuesday that Mularkey can talk to the Bengals.

A Redskins spokesman couldn't confirm whether the Ben~als got permission to intervtew Lewis, who was t()e defensive coordinator of Baltimore's Super Bowl championship team. Since he took control of the team in 1991, Brown has always turned to someone familiar when he needed a head coach - until now. He fired LeBeau in part because of the crumbling fan support. The last three home games drew the three smallest crowds in Paul Brown Stadium history. By resisting calls to bring in a general manager, Brown has left himself only one avenue for winning back fans and his disillusioned players: create a stir with his coach hiring.

POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council approved a temporary budget for $99,000 which will provide money . for the general, street, fire ·and water funds. Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Hysell said the money will be applied to payroll for ctty workersc . . In other business, council approved the creation of a special escrow account to hold unclaimed money owed to various people. According to Hysell, the ovetwhelming majority of the less than two dozen people to whom this money is owed are ones who did not pick up their utility deposits. The checks range from a couple of dollars to more than I00. The city has tried on numerous occasions to mail these checks out and contact these people, but to no avail. If the proper parties do not come forward to collect these trivial amounts, the city will apply this money to the geneml fund at the end of the year. Council voted to postpone voting on the proposed water rate increase until its next meeting. Jan. 15. If the ordinance passes one more reading, water rates will iqcrease from 50 to 55 cents per I00 gallons. If this or'dinance passes, it will be the second increase for water rates within two years. The last increase raised rates from 45 to 50 cents. • Mayor John Blaettnar praised Police Chief Mark Proffitt for a safe and uneventful New Year's holiday. There was only one driving under the influence arrest. Victor Young ill was unanimously approved as council president. For anyone interestetl in attending council, meeting times were changed to every other Wednesday at 7:30p.m. Proffitt requested that council accept a change in work status from full -time to part-time for patrolman Brian K Pearce. Pending council approval and passing a physical, Proffitt requested that parttime patrolman Nate Lather be consid· ered for possible hire as a full-time officer. rogether we can change your body. ·And your life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
