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 is a danger ... that people will become afraid .to criticize any aspect of American foreign policy, lest they be branded "anti-American." That, at any rate, IS the conclusion many will reac h after reading of Sen. Patty Murray's experience. Sen.

By the weekend , the chairman of the Republican Party in Washington state had publicly questioned Sen. Murray's patriotism .... According to the Columbian, she said that Osama bin Laden has "been out in these countries for decades, building schools , buildin g roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely gratefuL ... How would 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?" Sen. Murray got a few things very wrong .... Nevertheless, there is a deeper point that Sen. Murray, with extraordinary ineptitude, seemed to be trying to make -- a point that is worth preserving: At the very least, it ought to be /ossible to discuss America' s image in the Islamic wort , and the kinds of mistakes the United States has made there ... .

There are 362 days left in the year. . Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 3, 1777, Gen. George Washington's army routed the British in the Battle of Princeton, N.J . On this date : In 1521, Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. In 1833, Britain seized control of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. (Almost 150 years later, Argentina seized the islands from the British, but Britain took them back after a 74day war.) . In 1868. the Meiji Restoration re-established the authority of Japan's emperor and heralded the fall of the military rulers known as "shoguns." In 1938, the "March of Dimes" campaign to fight polio was organized. In 1947, congressional proceedings were televised for the first time as viewers in Washington, Philadetrhia and New York got to see some of the opening ceremomes of the 80th Congress. In 1959, President Elisenhower signed a proclamation admitting Alaska tO' the Union as the 49th state. In 1961. the United States severed diplomatic relations with Cuba. ·rn 1967, Jack Ruby, the man who shot accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, died in a Dallas hospital. In 1990, ousted Panamaman leader Manuel Noriega surrendered to U.S. forces, 10 days after taking refuge in the Vatican's diplomatic mission. · In 2000. the last new daily "Peanms" strip by Charles Schulz ran in 2,600 newspapers. ' Ten years ago: President Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a historic nuclear missile-reduction treaty in Moscow. Three days after he was jeered at in Sarajevo, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was forced to take refuge from a crowd of angry Somalis in Mogadishu.

The U.S. economy remained in the doldrums, with the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq plummeting to fiveyear lows. Consumer confidence fell to a nine-year low, not the least because of corporate scandals involving such companies as Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, lmCione, Adelphia Communications and Qwest. In entertainment news, Halle Berry won the Academy Award for bes.t actress and Denzel Washington the award for best actor, putting to rest suggestions that HollywOod does not properly appreciate the work of minorities . Finally, on the political scene, Republicans defied predictions for the mid-term elections, not only gaining seats in the House of Representatives, but also retaking control of the Senate. Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott enjoyed his · status , as incoming majority leader for barely a month before he was forced to step ·down · for · flattering · Strom Thurmond on his IOOth birthday.

American God ignite praise Indian wants . s on· tQ use peyote . It occurred to me recently, that when one embraces opportunity for new beginnmgs with God, praise of God 'is a signal part of it. Last Saturday night I sat down with my . Bible to do some reading before going to bed. It opened up right up to the book of Daniel, and chapter four at verse three gained my attention immediately. The words were by Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonian Empire. It appears to me that God was very gracious to this pa-gan king. Despite the actions of Nebuchanezzar to deify himself and declare himself the reason for the Empire's greatness, God worked dramatically in the man's life to lead him to not only come to a correct under:standing about his circumstances, but also to have a new beginning with God. The man was clearly excited and grateful for opportunity granted by God. And, just prior his explanation about how God had brought him to that pciint of a new beginnin~. Nebuchadnezzar burst out m pointed praise. Firs't, he declilred about God, - "How great are his signs!" As seen specifically in Scripture, signs are open manifestations of God's will as He makes known His work in human affairs. God's signs are always in complete and exact harmony with His Word. The 'Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ was a sign given by the prophet Isaiah, which s~Jinds as a supreme example of Scriptural correctness concenung the use of signs. Second, Nebuchadnezzar stated, "And how mighty are His wonders!" As it concerns God, a wonder is something that occurs in which one understands it can only be of God. Undoubtedly, when one considers the eternal ramifications, the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ stand out as wonders of God. 'Htlwever, two specific·signs and ·wonders experienced by Nebuchadnezzar are likewise employed to move us to the point of new beginning with God as well. Nebuchadnc:zzar did not take those particular signs and wonders lightly, and neither should we. One involves the convicting power of · God. Nebuchadnezzar was simply ' Ron Branch GUEST VIEW amazed at the powerful man- ner of conviction God worked in his life, although it took seven y,ears before he literally came to his senses. The convicting power of God involves that internal stirring iii our heart and mind making clelll' where we' are . wrong. Conviction is an experience which no one should disregard; for it is His evident grace at work to bring us where we need . to be with Him. God has a beneficent purpose when He stirs conviction, and certainly brings joy with God when we yield to it. Another involves the powerful presence of God. Nebuchadnezzar WaS overwhelmed with this I wonder . when he had thosle three Hebrew boys thrown into the furnace. He saw with his own eye, the presence of God in midst of the fire, walking around with, and P.reservin¥ miraculously that faithful tno. Here again the wander of God's grace becomes evident when we see His presence with us, especially when it is manifested m a timely manner. His presence. with us is never by accident, but rather according to His providence at work in our lives. The heart of God is to bring each {!Crson into proper fellowship with Him, not because God is mercenary, but because He knows it is to our benefit. Life is too much of a gift for it to be bound up in worldliness and it accompanying disappointments and frustrations. It is because He loves us that He works through those unique signs and wonders to bnng us into His joy and deep rich blessings. Thus, one cannot help but to be ·excited with praise when opportunity for a new beginmug with Him is seized. , Nebuchadnezzar makes it clear how it should be for us. (Ron Branch is the pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Mason.) WHITE CLOUD, Mich. (AP) - Jon Fowler wants his 4-year-old ·son to have the ri~t to take peyote with him. It s a matter of religious freedom, he says. A member of the Grand "Traverse Band ,of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Jon Fowler belongs to the Native American Church of the Morning Star, where the hallucinogen is taken as a sacrament. Fowler wants his son to join him in the rite, if the boy wishes. . But a judge may bar Fowler from doing ~. in a case that pits the Constitution's guarantee of religious freedom against a mother's wish to protect her child. Fowler's ex-wife, Kristin Hanslovsky, a 31-year-old Montague resident who is not an American Indian, fears that peyote would harm her son. Fowler, a 35-year-old resident of Traverse City who earns a living by selling food and crafts at powwows, credits his use of peyote with helping him overcome alcohohsm and forge a relationship with God. Judge Graydon Dimkoff gave custody of the child to Fowler ty:o years ago but has prohibited him from allowing his son to be given peyote. Fowler appealed and after hearing arguments, the Michigan Court of Appeals returned the case to Dimkoff, directing him to determine whether peyote use could harm the child. The next hearing is set for March 21. Peyote, a bitter-tasting cactus that rows in southern Texas an nort.hem Mexico, has been a part of Indian· cuiture for thousands of years.

(AP) other spiritual and physical , benefits. · ·· The plant's active chemical ingredient is mescaline, a hallucinogen. The U.S. criminal code classifies peyote as a controlled substance, and in most instances a person caught with more than 4 ounces faces the possibility of a 20-year prison sentence. But in the last century, peyote's use in religious rites spread among Indians throughout the United States, including the upper Midwest. Congress recognized this sacramental use of peyote eight years ago by amending the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 to protect the practice in all 50 states. Fowler's attorney, Thomas Myers of Michigan Indian Legal Services, said the case was about ensuring that "rights guaranteed to Native Americans by treaty or statute are secured, and I think that would include constitutional rights." Martin Holmes, a North Muskegon attorney representing Hanslovsky, did not return a call to his office. Hanslovsky has said she does not want to violate anyone's religious freedom, but that feeding the boy peyote "could cause him harm or long-term neurological defects." Testifying on Fowler's behalf at a court hearing last month, John H. Halpern, a psychiatrist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, said he has found no evidence of a child or adult being harmed by.the use of peyote in Indian religious services. About 300,000 Indians who belong to the Native American Church of North America, the nation's largest church for indigenous peoples, ingest some form of the cactus, he said. But some members of these types of congregations do not believe children should take the substance. Anne Zapf, who with her husband runs the Peyote Way Church of God in Klondike, Ariz., feels children should be allowed to attend spiritual ceremonies where peyote is dispensed but should not ingest it. "Peyote is an introspective expenence. It's a God experience and generally you have to have a few sins under your belt." . An unusually accessible treatment of that eternal question: Does God exist? · (AP)- What's an ideal gift for someone who doesn't believe in God? Or someone who does lielieve? Or someone who's unsure what to believe? Why not "The Question of God" (Free Press), by Annand M. Nicholi Jr., which rates among the year's best books on religion by making this weighty topic remarkably light fare.

Even though Nicholi edited the high-concept "Harvatd Guide to Psychiatry," his "God" book cleverly popularizes· matters with personality study rather than the intellectual abstractions of other titles. . As a churchgoing Protestant, he tips tll.e scales toward Lewis, but is fair and sensitive toward Freud. Putting the two {!Sychologically complex subjects on the couch, Nicholi finds that both suffered childhood losses and had difficult relationships with fathers they associated with religious orthodoxy, whether Jewish (Freud) or Christian (Lewis). Lewis' skepticism was reinforced by an insanely abusive clergy headmaster, followed by a kindly atheistic tutor, and by combat duty in World War ment, a projection from childhood feelings. • Against that, Lewis argued that the Bible's message of human sinfulness isn't what we'd wish for, and that jlCople's built-in desire for God shows he exists, not the opposite. Similarly, Lewis said the inherent feeling that the cosmos has a structure of right and wrong implies God. Nicholi reports that Freud, whose philosophy revolved around pleasure, was an unharpy person, and so was Lewis during his atheistic years. . Freud drew some data from mental patients . who expressed relision in distoned ways. Nichoh has observed the same, but also researched Harvard students who underwent religious cohversions. He found marked improvement in impulse control, academic performance, selfimage, relationships and overc coming of substance abuse I. and despair. . How did Lewis switch While Freud despised a life sides? Essentially by opening based upon what he considhimself to the evidence, Nicholi says. Though many people supp,ose only science treats "real' evidence, Lewis decided science cannot comprehend some aspects of human existence and carefully considered the Bible, proGod writings and believers' lives. Freud's theory, interesting but not particularly scientific, said faith is only wish-fulfill- Loans for Vacant Lots Pre-approvall·l days No acreaae limit Easy conversion to a construction loan Refll1anclnc for exlstlnclot loans Most ~ses no farm Income required ~=~~ Of' MID-AMERICA Allan Helber Financial Services Officer ----~----,..--- - · ered an illusion, Lewis concluded that no human accomplishment or possession will ever truly satisfy people without a relationship with their Creator. Which man was right?

PLAYING THIS WEEII II <L F.~Iday, January 3, 2003 Friday, Janu~ry 3, 2003 The Daily Sentinel • Page. 83 www.mydallysentlnel.com ~ College football NBA Miami, OSU_eager to play for national title Jordan plays his former team No. 5 Southern California .during his next-to-last game defeats No:-3 Iowa, 38-17 TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Miami is well aware of the expectations : Beat Ohio State easily for the national title, then go for a _third straight championship and college football's Ionge~! winniog streak next season. Not slt fast, Miami center Brett Romberg says. "We could easily get knocked off," he warned. "People are downplaying the whole deal of Ohio State not rising . to the occasion, but we know, we watch film. "It's going to be as hard a game as we've had this year, probably the hardest we've ever played." Top-ranked Miami ( 120) is trying to win its sixth national title, all since 1983, and become just the second team since '79 to take back-to-back championships . The 'Canes are favored by 13 points in the Fiesta Bowl on Friday night. A victory would extend their winning streak to 35 games, 12 shy of Oklahoma's 47-game streak from 1953-57. The Hurricanes could ·then tie the record in the 2003 reg· ulat-season finale. · No. 2 Ohio State ( 13-0) is far from awed, though. The Buckeyes have three national titles of their own, but none since 1968. Nine times since, they had chances and failed, mostly because of losses tO rival Michigan at the end of a season. last time the The Buckeyes needed a bowl win to clinch the title, they lost to Southern California 17-16 in the Rose Bowl following the 1979 season. This time, Ohio State players believe it's title time even if hardly anyone else agrees. "We're very comfortable, and we're going to come out and surprise some people," linebacker Matt Wilhelm said. B.oth coaches said their players are anxious for action. Ohio State hasn't played for 41 d'ays, Miami 27 days. ' · "The players are tired of practicing," said Miami coach Larry Coker, 24·0 since he replaced . Butch Davis before last season. "It' s time to play the game, and we're happy to be on this stage." So is Ohio State's second-year coach Jim Tressel, who won four 1AA national titles at Youngstown State. "You just can't beat it. This is exactly what you prepare for," Tressel· said Thursday. "We can't wait . to get out there." Unlike last season, when the computer-driven B.owl Championship Series standings made once-beaten Nebraska the muchdebated choice to play Miami in the Rose Bowl, this year's title matchup fell perfectly into place. The ' Canes and Buckeyes were the only unbeaten teams among 117 I-A schools. Ohio State won the most games in its 113-year history, surviving close calls no fewer than six times. The final three. games were all tight: I 0-6 over Purdue, 23-16 over Illinois in overtime, and 14-9 over Michigan . Miami was much more convincing, blowing out Syracuse 49-7 and then dominating Virginia Tech in a 56-45 win that saw tailback Willis McGahee run for 205 yards and a school-record six touchdowns. Which brings us back to the .ritle game, where tail· backs could determine the winner. Siniply, Ohio State needs a . big game from Maurice Clarett to have a chance. The freshman ran for I, 190 yards and scored 16 touchdowns · despite missing three g'a mes with injuries . Clarett created a stir this · week by accusing his school of lying about the reasons he wasn't allowed to fly home to attend a friend's funeral. He says it won't affect his play, it's just another bump in the road. "Ciarett is a playmaker," Hurricanes linebacker Jonathan Vilma said. "With him in the game, there is always the threat of him breaking one for a touchdown. He's their goto guy." _ McGahee, who ran for 1,686 yards and 27 touchdowns, is only one of Miami's go-to guys. While the Hurricanes are counting on their tailback's power and speed · for a few big gainers, their versatile offense can score quickly in other ways. With Ken Dorsey - 38-1 as a starter at the controls, the 'Canes averaged 41.9 pointS and 473.9 yards. The senior from Orinda, Calif., threw for 3,073 yards and 26 touchdowns, while wide receiver Andre Johnson caught 48 passes for 1,038 yards and nine scores. Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. had 46 catches for 604 yards and seven TDs. "They're impressiv.e , but like any other team they can be stopped," Buck~yes defensive end Darrion Scott said. "They're .a great team and have great weapons . We also have a great defense." . .Maybe the best in the nation. Led by hard-hitting strong safety Michael Doss and Wilhelm, the Buckeyes allowed just 12.2 points and 78.7 yards rushing. "This is the best defense I've seen since .I've been here," Miami guard Sherko Haji-Rasouli said. "You can tell when you watch film that they always have four, five, six guys at the point of attack. They swarm to the ball. It will be very difficult to get something going against them." This will be the 34th meeting between the No. I and No. 2 teams in the AP media poll. The No. I team leads, 20-11-2. The last 1-2 matchup was top-ranked Florida State's . 46-29 win over Virginia · Tech in the 2000 Sugat Bowl, which gave the Seminoles the national title. College football 'CHICAGO (AP) Michael Jordan bit his lip, ,'smiled sheepishly and ·mouthed "Thank you" as a standing ovation swept across ' the United Center and wei'corned him back for the next'tO-last time. · ·'II wasn't going to cry," Jordan said Thursday ni~ht.
