SOUP TO e Lummox 33 Hopper We all try to learn from our mistakes, but Leon Trotsky had a different spin on that: "Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies." In this deal, de· darer did very well to anticipate the danger to her contract. Can you spot it? Against four spades, West leads the club queen: two, three, king. Sittin·g South, how would you continue? Three spades was a limit raise, promising I 0-12 support points and at least four trumps. The deal was reported in Bridge Plus magazine by North, Kitty Teltscher. It was played in the house of Scarlet and Edward Leatham, the latter being the greatgrandson of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who sponsored Howard Carter's hunt 'for King Tut' s tomb. Normally , East . would win the first trick in case South had a singleton club king, but East had spotted a way to defeat the contract. Suppose declarer immediately finesses in spades. East wins with the queen and shifts to his singleton diamond. Then; when back· in with the spade ace, he can lm. derlead in clubs to put his partner on play and receive a diamond ruff_ The declarer, Tessa Attwater, found the riposte: At trick two, she returned her club six, a pretty Scissors Coup. East won and shifted to his diamond, but when he got in with the spade queen, West was entryless. Attwater lost only two spades and one club.

Facemeyer, a Republican from · Jackson County, said that the delegation, in conjunction with Second District U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito will make inroads to widening 35 into a four-lane highway. "I think you'll see this delegation along with Congresswoman Capito getting something done," Facemeyer said. Sen.-elect Lisa D. Smith, a Putnam County Republican, said despite 35 being "not on the radar screen" of federal highway officials, Capito is lookina into the feasibility of lapping into the Dangerous Highway Fund as a mean s of funding improvements. Delegate Dale Marlin, a Democrat from Putnam County, said given the increased economic oppor· tunities an improved 35 can bring to Mason County, it should be the top priority of all elected officials.

Effective this week, the center will be closed from noon to 5 p:m. on Wednesdays, said Sharon Moles, manager of the local office at 445 Buckeye Hills Road. The office currently provides employment-related services, such as unemployment compensation and job search, matching and placement. Moles said fewer than 3 percent of customers registering for unemployment compensation · do so in person. "Most people filing for unem. ployment have found it more convenient to file over the tele· phone from the comfort of their home," said Moles. Research shows that most customers who visit one of the local offices do so on Mondays or TuesdaY.&•. )Vedn~s<,tay afterr\oon s · ~-FitditionaHy- have the least public traffic, Moles said. · ''By revising the hours we are oper\ to the public; we can make better use of the lowest trilffic period of the week to catch up on the processing of claims gen· erated during the Monday through Tuesday rush, perform job matching and make referrals," she added. The revised hours affect only walk-in customers, Moles said. Those wishing to file an unemployment compensation claim durmg that time can use the department's toll-free tel.ephone registration system by calling 1877-0HIO JOB (644-6562). ODJFS officials said that eventually, telephone registration will be the sole option for filing an unemployment claim, and the other services offered at the Rio Grande office will be provided. by One Stop centers operated through the Workforce Investment Act Currently, ODJFS is piloting the prollram in six counttes. The remainmg offices are scheduled to transition to One Stop centers by the end of 2004. Index I~ J.

The contract asks for $500 a month compensation in addition to mileage and other expenses related to the job. At the last council meeting, the proposed contract was approved by 4-2 margin.

Bush nominated Ohio Supreme Court Justice Deborah Cook and former state Solicitor Jeffrey Sutton to fill vacancies to the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. But inexcusably, the Judiciary Committee of the U.S . Senate has yet \O hold a single hearing on Cook or Sutton. Despite pressure from Bush and other ReQublicans, Judictary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, has bottled up more than 100 nominations to federal court openings. And amid the QOiiti cal stalling, the workloads of federal District Court and appellate judges continues to mount. That should all change on Jan . 7, when the Senate reconvenes and reorgamzes under Republican control.

Unfortunately, all the blood had left our brains to help digest the bowling balls of compressed food in our stomachs, and our IQs had dropped to plant level. And so we made a mistake, a mistake that many other food-stupidified people in the Washington area make on the day after Thanksgiving: We decided to go to a museum. It would be fun! And educational' Su we lumbered out the door, 12 of us, and piled into our Cal'S . From the sidewalk, worms watched us and laughed.

I don 't know what they have at the International Spy Museum. When we arrived, there was a line from thb entrance, which is on F Street, .stretching around the comer to approximately Ecuador. At that point, if we'd had one working brain cell among us, we'd have said: "This is insane! Let's go home!" Instead, being turkey-bloated morons, we said: "Let's·go to the Smithsonian!" The Smithsonian is a great museum that annually•attracts more than 20 million visitors, every single one of whom was there when we arrived. Have you ever been caught in a department store holiday-mob shopping frenzy, when normally decent middle-aged moms are yanking out clots of each other's hair?

Kan and other antique dealers in Meigs County work together to promote the retail antique trade, and many shoppers who make Pomeroy and Middleport a Christmas shopping day-trip visit a number of shops which cater to their own particular interests, be it antiques or handmade craft items. At Ingels' Radio Shack in Middleport, the weak economy prompted most customers to stick with small-ticket items, according to Jason Ingels, but busi'ness was comparable to that of a year ago. Sales of computers was down considerably from last year, Ingels said, while purchase of sale-priced DVD players, police scanners, and, particularly . micro-sized "Zip-Zap" remote control cars helped make up for the dive in computer purchases.

South Korea ~s 'getting cl~ser' to · ;, plan to end nuclear crisis with North· SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea honed a compromise proposal Saturday to resolve the standoff over North Korea's nuclear program, but Pyongyang warned the situation remained "serious'and unpredictable." The pace of diplomacy was picking up, wlth a South Kore.an diplomat in Russiaan ally of the north, and talks slated in Washington early next week among the United . States, the South and Japan. The South Korean proposal was expected to dothiilate a joint strategy session: In advance of that regular sessil'n to review policy toward the North, the Bush Administration had not budged from its _dem~d that the the CQmmurust reg1me m the North unilaterally abandon its nuclear ambitions before Washington considers a next step. Details of the Seoul plan were scant, but media reports suggested the proposal would require concessions from both Washington and Pyongyang. South Korea's deputy foreign minister arrived in the Russian capital, saying Russian assistance was essential. "Our government thinks that the role of the ~ussian government in the process of peaceful resolution of this problem is very important and constructive," Kim Hang-kyung told reporters upon arrival. Russian President Vladimir Putin has moved to reinvijlorate Moscow's Strl)ng Sovietera ties with North Korea, hosting its reclusive leader Kim Jong D for the second consecutive summer last year. Moscow has said it wants to link its trans-Siberian railroad with a railway being rebuilt between North and South Korea. Seoul's diplomatic offensive underlines its new drive to mediate between the United ,,siates, its key ally, and neighboring North Korea, its erstwhile enemy. But·•brokering a deal won't be easy. The United States refuses to talk until the North scraps its nuclear programs. And North Korea insists Washington must take the first step by signing a nonaggression pact promising not to attack the isolated country. "There is no reason why the U.S. should not accept the proposal, the best way for peaceful solution," the North's state-run news agency KCNA said. "The pre·sent situation is verr, serious and unpredictable. ' Still, officials in Seoul were upbeat about' a diplomatic solution. "We are getting closer to finding an answer," a senior government official said on condition of anonymity after Saturday's security meeting. In past crises with the North, Seoul played a subordinate role to the United States. Now many South Koreans want their government to help chart the course of talks and assume more , equal . footing with ' Washington. Being heard out by the United States is also seen as soothing rocky relations with South Korea amid rising public resentment over 37,000 U.S. troops based here. The trilateral meeting Monday and Thesday in Washington - is part of the allies' regUlar forum for coordinating policy toward the communist North. This time, they will focus on bringing North Korea's nuclear weapons programs under interuational controls.

Surgeons in the Parkersburg area are consid, ering similar action, Dr. David Avery, a Parkersburg family practitioner, has said. The walkout has forced the hospitals to transfer at least a dozen patients to facilities in Morgantown and neighboring Pennsylvania and Ohio. Wheeling Hospital sent one l),eart patient to a Pittsburgh hospital Saturday morning, bringing its total to seven, President Donald Hofreuter said. "I think there is no clear cut indiCation at this point what wiH happen. We will play it hour by hour," Hofreuter said. Weirton Medical Center has transferred four patients since the walkout began , Senior Administrator John Frankovitch said Saturday. Ohio Valley Medical Center has transferred at least 'One patient but hospital officials would not provide specifics. Reynolds Memorial has not had to transfer any patients, a nurs- • ing supervisor said Saturday. Hofreuter said Wheeling Hospital has taken . steps to keep surgery support staff working durjn,g the walkout, such as holding training sessions and shifting workers to other areas of the hospital. "I made a pledge to employees we have here that all full-time and . part-time employees would be getting a paycheck," he said in a 1 telephone interview from the hospital. The Wise administration announced Friday that it has ended talks with the surgeons to focus on .its legislative proposals. The Legislature begins its regular session Wednesday. Wise has said he plans to address changes to mal practice law suits and damage awards, which the surgeons blame for their high insurance premiums. Parentau said his annual premium is nearly $100,000. That, coupled with a drop in Medi caid reimbursements, is making it difficult to continue practicing, he said. "Our group can't do business.

The Blue Devils, who lost to Grove City Thursday for their first loss of the season, fell to Chesapeake Saturday, 61- t Playoffs · from Page 81 ing a go-ahead 15-yard scoring pass to Kevin Johnson in the fourth quarter. "Their guys believe in him," Steelers coach Bill Cowher said. "He was able to move the team. It's not like you're getting a guy who hasn't played all year." The BrownS' big worry now is if Holcomb goes down. His backup is Josh Booty, who hasn't thrown a pass this sea' son. Of course, Maddox hadn't, either, before replacing the ineffective Stewart with the St.eelers trailing Cleveland 13-6.

Yet almost everyone believes the Buckeyes may be a lot better in 2003. . "What do we do next? We go back to the !Hitional championship," said defensive bl!ck Will Allen, who knocked Miami tailback Willis McGahee out of the game with a crunching hit in the fourth QUlll'ler.

He then led a game-winning field goal drive in overtime. Maddox went 7-3-1 in his 11 starts and won the AP Comeback Player of the Year award. However, his play has dropped off slightly since that improbably good start. He has eight inle!l:eptions. only five touchdown passes and a scary injwy since his tearn-rerord 473-yard passing day Nov. 10 against Atlanta. There's also a perception around the league that he's become overly eaF to get rid of the ball and started making poor reads since he was temporarily paralyzed by a hit Nov. 17 in Tennessee. · The Browns will tty to pressure him as much as possible to tty to. force a gwnealtering turnover. In Maddox's last three statts at Heinz Field, six of his turnovers have been turned into touchdowns. "It's taken me I0 years to get here, and I'm going to enjoy it and savor every minute of it," Maddox said. "Everybody wants to play in the playoffs _.. and there are (20 starting) quartemacks in the league who wish they could be here." Against Cleveland on Nov. 3, Maddox rallied the St.eelers to a 23-20 victory, throwing the ball effectively out of a spread offense after falling behind 14-3. He threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to put the St.eelers ahead to stay. · ''They've played well against us in the two games, but we found a way to wm those games," Maddox said~ "I think that's going to be important this weekend - to somehow, some way, find a way to win." ule next fall, although the first five games are at Ohio Stadium: Washington, San DiegO!

' . The Lady Bisons, usmg an aggress1ve one-on-one game and taking advantage of several incomplete passes by the the Lady 'Cats, catapulted two players into double digits. Tara Lewis nailed six buckets and one three-pointer for a IS-point game while teammate Heather Dent scored"five buckets and one three pointer of her own for a 13 point game. Lindsay Elkins, Nikki Gritt and Mandy Gooch added nine points each, while Megan Elkins, Ashley Rutherford and Kendra Cunningham scored seven, four and two, respectively. For the local squad, Christy Mayes led in all scoring with 17 points on seven buckets and three of six from the line, while teammate Amber Adkins consistently posted buckets throughout the game from just outside the key for 10 points. Heather Miles and Sarah Messer rounded out · the scoring with two and one, respectively. "Buffalo really took advl)ntage of our inconsistent passing," said Hannan Coach Carolyn Cooper. "They are always a tough team, but I think tonight we just weren't up to par for this game." , The Lady Bisons jumped to a strong 19-5 l~ad in the first eight minutes behind three buckets each by Lewis and Gritt, while Gooch tossed in the game's first three point shot and· added another bucket for fiye -points. Elkins complited the stanza, s scoring with a lone bucket. Mayes and Adkins, eager to find their spots on the court, each posted a bucket for Hannan, while Mayes, earning a trip to the charity stripe on some aggressive play inside the key from Buffalo, tossed in another point. . By the end of the first quarter, a total of 14 turnovers had plagued the Lady 'Cats as Buffalo claimed control of the game. Buffalo's steamroller kept going in the second quarter as Dent, Lewis and Elkins combined for 16 points to help lead the visitors in a 23-point quarter and 42-9 first half lead. . Coming out of the halftime break, Buffalo,s Coach Thornton began to spot the court with replacement players, which Hannan took full advantage of with a 17-point quarter. Mayes burnt the net with four buckets and two .of four from the line, while Adkins swished three deuces and Messer one of four from the line. For Buffalo, Elkins, Gritt and Rutherford managed to squeeze in a bucket each en route to a six-point quarter as Hannan closed the gap to a 48-26 deficit. However, Buffalo's replacements stepped out again in the fourth quarter as Dent, Lewis and Elkins combined for 13 points and Elkins, Kendra Cunningham and Gooch added three, two and two points, respectively for a 20point quarter. Hannan's Miles, stepping up to the free throw line, nailed two of two while Mayes closed out the Lady 'Cats, scoring with her final bucket of the night. The Lady Wildcats ( 1·6) have a full week coming up with games on Tuesday at Gauley Bridge at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at Hamlin at 7:30 p.m. before hitting the road on Friday for a double header at Van with the boys basketball team beginning at 6 p.m. ~ ·~ ~ 0 TEMPE, Ariz . -For 3% seconds, Miami was national champion once again. . T~en the flag came flying, the cele-. bralion was halted and one of college football's greatest games kept going. The .fourth-down pass-interference citJF that gave Ohio State another chance was just one of many unforgettable plays in a finish for the ages at the Fiesta Bowl. Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel had a hard time singling out just one the morning after his team's 31-24 double·overtime shocker that ende"' Miami's 34-game winning streak and bid for consecutive national titles. "There were a lot of great plays," Tressel said Saturday. "We'll all be able to sit back and talk about which one turned the tide most." There was Craig Krenzel's 17-yard pass to Michael Jenkins on fourthand- 14 to prolong the first overtime; the penalty on Glenn Sharpe; touchdown runs by Krenzel and Maurice " Claret!; and Cie Grant's blitz that never ~ave Ken Dorsey a chance on Miami s final play. • The Hurricanes had their share of great plays too, starting with Todd Sievers' 40-yard field goal as time· expired in the fourih quarter. Kellen Winslow Jr. made a leaping touchdown grab to open the overtime, and Dorsey returned after a crushing hit to conven a fourth·down pass. In all, there were 32 plays· that could have been the final snap of the game. "I just said somebody has to make a play, let everyone step up," Ohio State All-American safety Michael Doss said. "At least once a week we· have one play where it's the last play in the world and it means everything. We stepped up to the challenge." Did the~ ever. The IJ 1,.point underdog Buckeyes took it to Dorsey and the confident 'Ca11es right from the stan. They sacked Dorsey twice on the opening possession and throttled him and running back Willis McGahee all night. Both Heisman finalists eventually ended their nights in tears: McGahee after being carted off the field with a three .toll) .ligaments in his. left knee and Dorsey after ending h1s college career in defeat. "It hurts. Losing hurts," said· Dorsey, who committed three "He's an extraordinary kid 'who :s competitive and wants the ball in hi s hands," Tressel said. "I can ' t say enough about Craig Krenzel. He 's a winner." Krenzel then ran it to the 5, but Ohio State once again faced a fourth down. Krenzel looked for Chris Gamble in the corner of the end li:One but the pass fell to the ground and officials waved incomplete. Miami's Sean Taylor threw his helmet in the air, fans and players rushed the field, and the celebration was on. Wait! Field jud11e Terry Poner threw his flag and s1gnaled interference on Glenn Sharpe. "I reflayed it in my mind," Poner said. " wanted to make double-sure that it was the righi call." Security quickly cleared the field and Krenzel then scored to tie it. "If you're going to make the call , make it right away," Miami linebacker D_J. Williams said. "The guy from the back called it late. I thought we had it won." The teams switched ends and Clarett capped a five"play drive with a 5-yard TD run to give the Buckeyes a 31-24lead. Then, Miami tried to answer. On second down, Dorsey was drilled by linebacker Matt Wilhelm with such force that he stumbled to ·· the sideline. Derrick Crudup came in and completed an 8-yard pass on third-and-!! before Dorsey returned. He hit Winslow for 7 yards on the third successful fourth-down conversion of ovenime. Miami then had a first down at the 2, but the Buckeyes ' didn't bend. "Everyone talks about how extraordinary our ·defense is and it is," Tressel said.

LOUIS - Izik Ohanon probably won ' t be coming off the bench much longer at Saint Louis . The sophomore forward scored 18 points and had nearly a perfect shooting day in his third game with the Billiken s, leading a 75-45 victory over West Virginia on Saturday. "This is what I'd been hoping for, quite honestly," coac h Brad Soderberg said. "He's got the ability to make shots, he can do stuff off the dribble, he can pass it and he can rebound. "What more can you ask for? And on top of it, he 's 6-9. " Ohanon was ineligible the first eight games because he played on a professional team in Israel. He totaled I 0 ·points his first two ga mes, both as a reserve, and again came off the bench agaihst West Virginia (8-3). "I know what I can do and I'm very pleased that I' ve worked my way into the rotation ," Ohanon said. "Sometimes you just have to play just to get used to play ing in games again." . Ohanon was 8-for-9 and added . five rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes as Saint Louis (6-5) won its fifth straight at home after losing the first two of the season. He has a quick first step and athletic moves around the basket to work himself free .

Drew Diener added 12. . Saint Louis, in its final tune up before starting Conference USA play Tuesday at home against Marquette , shot 56 percent after hitting only 36 percent at Kansas State. ' "I don't know that we can play a lot better, quite frankly," Soderberg said. "That's about as good as we can play." Drew Schifino had 22 points on 10-of- 16 s hootin g for West Virginia, which had won seven of its previou s eight. Freshman center Kevin Pittsnogle, who averages 11 .7 . points , was scoreless on 0-for-4 shooting . "This is a terrible loss and we ' ve got to look past thi s one," Schifino said. "Sometimes you lose by five and sometimes you lose like this." Saint Louis was in command from the start, workin g the ball for easy inside shots to take a 12-2 lead in the opening minutes. The Billikens had six layups and three dunks, all by Kenny Brown, to go ahead 30-18 at halft ime. A 9-2 run at the start of the second half, c pped by Diener's 3-pointer with 16:27 left, put the game away at 39-20. West Virginia's point total was its worst of the season; the previous low was 59 points in a season-opening victory over Delaware State. The Mountaineers had almost no inside game, getting outre bounded 32-19, and didn '·t shoot their first free throw until 16:05 remained. "We didn't make shots because they guarded us well," coach John Beilein said. "This will only be a bad loss if we let it be a bad loss. "Would I trade a loss to Saint Loui s for a win versus Miami? Absolutely."

The proof will be on display this weekend as the NFL playoffs begin. Gillman, the Hall of Fame coach who was one of the masterminds behind the , West Coast· offense used by several of the NFL's best teams, died early Friday. He was 91. · Gillman died at home in his sleep, his wife, Esther, said. "We loved watching football, we were so looki~g forw~d to the playoffs," Esther Gillman said. "My life witli• him was wonderful, the memories, we shared so much." Gillman was head coach at Miami of Ohio from 1944 to 194 7 and the University of Cincinnati from !949 to 1954. At Miami, he was 31-6-1 and led the team to its first bowl game. He was 5013-1 at Cincinnati, with three MidAmerican Conference titles and · two bO'fl berths. He coached the Los Angeles Rams from 1955-59 and the Chargers in Los Angeles and San Diego from 1960-69 - their first I 0 years of existence and again in 1971. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and also was a member of the National Football J!all of Fame. In 18 years as coach of the Rams, Chargers and Houston Oilers, Gillman had a 123-104-7 record. Former Chargers running back Keith Lincoln remembers Gillman at his best in the AFL. "He was so innovative," Lincoln said. "When we won 'the championship in '63, during the regular season we played Boston twice so we were playing them for the third time for the championship. He showed them some things that we hadn 't done before. I think that's what gave us the advantage in that game." AI Davis, who coached the Oakland Raiders from 1963-65 when he and Gillman were A FL coaching rivals, called Gillman "the flagship for the modern-day passing game." "It was my good fortune to know him for 50-60 years, be a part of his life," said - Davis, the Raiders' man aging general partn e r . ''Obviously, he exerted an influence on my life. The great ones , time never ends for t h e m · Immortality Gillman is real when • it comes to those people. I am sad. We'll miss him greatly." . The West Coast offense has been used by several successful teams over the years, · including the Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams. And the New York Jets made their run to the playoffs with such an approach. The · 49ers, quarterbacked by Joe Montana and Steve Young, used it to · fi S wm tve uper Bowls in the 1980s and 1990s. The Rams won the title three yel\fs ago. I • · -1 t s Simi ar to the passing offense Gillman used, one that spreads the field horizontally and vertically to open up passing lanes and give quarterbacks more options to throw the ball . Kansas City Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson said Gillman was the father of the modern passing game. 1 "Absolutely, without question," Peterson said. "Sid was a true giant in our business. He was probably the most innovative offensive mind in our game." "Last night was the first and onlv night that Sid was in a hospital bed,t' Esthl!r Gillman said. "We brought a hospital bed up just yesterday, because we thought it would be a little more comfortable for him ." . .

Is that really possible? ;· Addiction is a tricky term, because so many people use it loosely: ''I'm addicted to Buckeye football," or, as Robert Palmer sings, "I'm addicted to love." But in the sense that cocaine, heroin or tobacco is addictive - no; colas aren't addictive. Still, consuming drinks that · contain caffeine can become habit-forming, and many types of soft drinks · contain caffeine. IfJ.ou quit caffeine-intake col -turkey, you could suffer headaches · as_a result. Luckily, taking an aspirin can help.

Regufar (non-diet) colas and other types of soda can add a significant amount of sugar and calories to your diet. For example, let's say you started drinking one 12-ounce can of cola a day, and didn't change any other eating habits or increase your exercise. That would add about 150 calories to your intake a day, which would add up to 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a year. Diet colas, of course, wouldn't cause that prob~ lem.

Cottrill cooks a large rioon meal fqr her family every day. Living on a farm, there are lots of hungry workers to feed. "Lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day Jor us," said Cottrill. Cottrill lives on a large dairy and grain farm and although just she and her husband now live in the house on the farm, she said that her son always eats the noon meal with them since he works the farm. She sg.id there is always someone else there for lunch, too. "The vendors know that my husband and son w'ill be around at noon hour, so many of them show up at noon to do business and end up eating lunch with us," said Cottrill. Cottrill's son lives nearby and takes care of the farm, now. Her husband recently retired, so now he just helps on the farm, instead · of ruimng it. Although the farm consists of only 150 acres, they farm a total of 650 acres, includin~ land they rent from Amencan Electric Power. They also run a dairy. In addition to cooking, Beverly helps on the farm by feeding the baby calves. The calves nurse from their mother for three days before Beverly takes over. ~he feeds them milk replacer from a bucket for about a week before they are weaned. "We keep the heifers for the dairy farm and sell the bulls," said Cottrill. Beverly said that she uses . a lot of products from their farm to cook with. "We have beef, pork and milk from the animals we , raise, and I raise a garden each year. I usually can about 60 quarts of beans each year, among other things," said Cottrill. Courill uses her spare time in the summer to put out !lowers and a garden. She said that she enjoys raising !lowers best, ·though. "I do all my own yard work. I mow and plant and take care of the vegetable garden and the !lowers," she said. Beverly said that although she makes a variety of foods, her husband 's favorite meal isn't anyth.ing fancy. "He I ikes navy beans, fried potatoes and cornbread best," said Cottrill. She said that her children's favorite are her homemade cinnamon rolls and her own favorite is orange pound cake. Cotrill said that she likes to bake, but feels that her specialty is probably meat dishes. "Our pastor loves my liver and onions," said Cottrill, although she said that personally she doesn't . like liver. Cotri ll said she is a selftaught cook, who grew up in the city. " I never learned to cook " Beverly Cottrill said that this warm fruit compote makes a cheerful dish for holidays that is popular with all of her family.

The impact of suicide doesn't just stop with the lost lives, it will profoundly affect approximately six other individuals for the rest of their lives.

The high risk groups include: adolescents, young adults, men 25 to 44 years of age and the elderly.

' Guilty or not guilty: Book tries to shows why OIWell is That .is the question relevant even ·i~· the 21st century Each of these two novels, one by a British author, the other by an American, has a central character who has been accused of a crime which he denies committing. In "Reversible Errors" . by Scott Turow, · Rommy Gandolph, an AfricanAmerican with an IQ just south of 75, is soon to be executed for a triple murder which took place ten years earlier. A c_orporate lawyer who does little criminal work, Arthur Raven,. takes his case and believes his claim of innocence. In a plot filled with compromised characters (the judge was a heroin addict: the prosecutor was involved with the married detective on the case) Turow creates a complex and fascinating picture of legal maneuvers and moral dilemmas. Turow is himself a lawyer with a prominent Chicago firm and has handled pro bono capital cases. He gave us "Presumed Innocent" in 1987 and has written several legal thrillers since. The New York Times says he is "not ju~( one of our best crime novelists; he is also one of our better novelists." He describes one character wearing a "khaki poplin sport coat that had wrinkled up like a used paper bag." He says of journalists: "They barely saw the flames, never felt the heat, and still tried to tell everybody else about the tire."

Also present that day were her brother, who has brought with him a young and boring busiriessm"an and her vampish cousin, Lola, and Lola's twin brothers. During a game in ·the evening the cousin is assaulted and Briony points the finger at Robbie. The evidence is circumstantial, but Robbie is sent to prison, ruining his ambition to become a doctor.' The second part of the book book moves forward to Robbie's presence at the evacuation of Dunkirk at the beginning of World War II. The British army is cornered on the coast of France and would have been totally annihilated is not for the small boats which came to their rescue. This is an astonishingly descriptive passage, frightening and horrible, as all war is horrible. The third part of the book finds Briony in London nursing wounded soldiers. Cecelia and Robbie have become lovers. Briony tries to atone for the damage she has done to these two people. The final section takes place in London in I 999 on Briony's 75th birthday. She has become a novelist of some renown, but she is now suffering tiny strokes, vascular dementia, which will rob her of her mind. She returns to the country house, now a hotel, where the rooms are numbered and locked.

While Hitchens takes on leftist detractors individually, he su~gests that many of them ·revtled Orwell because he was never taken in by Stalinism - in other words, they're jealous of his "intellectual honesty." As for the rig!Jb. Hitchens says conservatives lay claim to Orwell because of their shared opposition to totalitarianism, but they have demonstrably different outlooks. In a deft analysis, Hitchens argues· that many who suggest that totalitarian states could one day rule the world actually glamorize those regimes. Orwell believed, to the contrary, that they would necessarily fail. "The Russian regime will either democratise itself, or it will perish," Orwell wrote presciently in 1946. The writer dido 't mean to let communism off the hook but to demean it. He was too much of a humanist to condemn history to the inhuman.

But Wtlliarns' growing fanne and his bouts with the bottle and pills began to take a toll. He found it harder to keep up with the Opry's vigorous schedule and missed shows.

NEW YORK (AP) - You know reality TV is entrenched as a genre whe11 The Weather Channel - the most conservative network this side of C-SPAN - is hopping on the bandwagon. The Weather Channel debuts back-to-back episodes of its new ni~htlr, series, "Storm Stones, ' Monday at 8 p.m. ETIPT. Don't worry. This won't be "When Hailstorms Attack" or ···weathercaster Idol." Although, when you think about it, some version . of "Fear Factor" with an angry public confronting soggy meteorologists whose predictions of a sunny weekend were washed out could be fun. "Storm Stories" is exactly as it sounds: people recounting, with video footage and some artful recreations, how they were caught in severe weather. "What we've real! y been missing is the human element and the demonstration of what these powerful weather events can do to people," said Terry 'Connelly, the network's " senior vice president for programming. "Storm Stories" is an outgrowth of the network :s now-defunct newsmagazine, "Atmospheres." In focus groups, viewers said their favorite element of that series was the personal stories. Connelly said The Weather Channel.wanted to avoid overly ~d stories - like other networks' "The Wrath of Nature" or "Savage Skies" - that cheapen the genre. He calls these series "disaster TV." Indeed, some early episod~;s of "Storm Stories" . are clunky in their conservatism. The tornado in the premiere "Blown from Her Arms" episode ofThe Weather Channel's new nightly series "Storm Stqrles," is shown in this undated publicity image·from television. The episode Is about the 1999 Oklahoma City tornado which snatched a mother with her 1(). month old infant up into the funnel. The channel debuts back-to-back episodes of the new ni&htly series Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT. (AP) • "As you can imagine, it was a night they will always remember," host Jim Cantore says in introducing an episode about a tornado that damaged Hoisington, Kan., and ripped apart a family's horne on their son's prom night. , But there are some compelling stories, and the series doesn't forsake modern production techniques. In the tornado episode, producers use a shaky camera almost like MTV! - to approximate the chaos of the whirlwind overhead. And when talking about the prom family's experience, only a snapshot of their daughter is shown until the end. The simple trick builds suspense about whether or not she survived. There's even some useful nuggets of in'formation. For instance, resist the temptation to hide beneath a highway underpass if a tornado is ne'arby; it adds to the danger. Cantore, a meteorologist, is the closest thing The Weather Channel has to a heartthrob. He started at the network in 1986, waking up at 2:30 a.m. to start a shift talking about heat waves and cold fronts. "Storm Stories" is now his full-time job, although he will occasionally pop up as a reporter during big storms. Back-to-back half-hour episodes of "Storm Stories" will run each weeknight. . Enough episodes have been shot and planned to go a6out two months before reruns Start seeping in, Connelly said. Connelly said The Weather Channel will update viewers with local forecasts on the bottom of the screen· during "Storm Stories," and preempt the series during a big weather event. Another series, "Forecast Earth," is in the works, for debut in October. It takes a scientific look at climate changes and the environment, and will air on weekends.' "We're looking at ways to fill the valley between major weather events," Connelly said. .

To the end, against all odds, he retained an irreverent nobility. This film is a final testament from the "reality TV" trailblazer who, with no road map and a fitful compass, preceded so many: gay "Survivor" champ Richard Hatch and spectral goofball Ozzy Osbourne, the fractious housemates of "Real World" and "Big Brother," and countless more to come who, even without knowing it, will trade on his_experience .

(MIIIissia Russell photos) T206 ASON, W.Va. - Despite the threat ·of m~re snow, spnng production is in full-swmg at the more than I 0 acres of ~reenhouses at Bob's Market m Mason, W.Va. Hundreds of thousands of tiny Ageratums, Impatients, and Snapdragons are quietly coming to life and preparing to make their debut in several months as beautiful, fragrant flowers. If all goes well, these wee seeds will g10w and bloom between March and April, covering the greenhouse floors with blankets of color. Unlike a traditional backyard flower garden, Bob's Market is a complex maie of greenhouses and buildings, computers and machines, each serving a specific purpose in the science of growing flowers. . The flowers begin as individual plugs, which are placed in flats of either 288 or 512, said Lori Kelly, manager of the Gallipolis, Ohio, retail store. Over 50 million plugs have been planted this year, and each one will be checked by hand to make sure the customer is getting the correct number of plants. The plugs are placed in hot houses until they are large enough to be.transplanted. Once they are transplanted they are stored in Bob's newest greenhouse, a temperature-controlled structure bigger than three football fields, which will also hold over 60,000 hanging baskets. The plants will eventually end up being sold at any of Bob's four retail stones or shipped to wholesalers. Most of Bob's business is wholesale, Kelly said, with a great deal of the plants being sent to the south, and many others being shipped to anywhere from Alaska to California. The plants are prepared and transplanted both by hand and mechanically, and Bob's mixes their own dirt blend, which produces the healthy, vibrant flowers the greenhouse is famous for. "We always stress quality work and customer service," Kelly said. "We strive for I00 percent customer satisfaction. _ ''These plants will be checked anywhere from six to seven times before they are ever shipped," she added. "Organization is key to everything we do." i< us. Cellular Othe r rate plans start1ng at $25. We connect with you: For businesses with ten or more lines, please call877-947-5729.

A survey conducted last year by the National Regulatory Research Institute and released in November said at least 13 states had been approached by a l!tility for a rate adjustment related to sec.urity costs. Last week, the Pennsy I vania-American Water Co. told 600,000 customers that it had asked regulators for permission to charf'e 4 cents a day - a total o $14.60 annually for terrorism-protection measures.

Hamdani's attorney, Deepak Paradkar, said his client is cooperating with the FBI. Hamdani is wanted on chargys of traffickin!l in forged travel and identification documents and did not plan to oppose his return to the United States, the U.S. officials said. It was Hamdani, who has been jailed in Ontario, Canada, since late October, who provided the information that led the FBI on Sunday to issue a nationwide alert for five foreign-born men believed to have entered the United States illegally on or before Christmas Eve as part of an immigrant smuggling ring. Although it has no evidence the five are involved in terrorism, the FBI says it waills to question them to determine theif whereabouts and intentions. Names and photos of at least 14 others have not been released, officials say, because they are of ' . poor quality. FBI officials say the decision to put off release of more photos is not 1'elated to the claims by a Pakistani jeweler, Mohammed Asghar, that one of the five photos is of him and was wrongly included in the group being sought. It is possible that those who entered the United States were using documents with photos of other people whose appearance was similar to theirs.

The figures were just I percent higher than the $492.2 million that congressional candilllates spent during the presidential election season of 19992000.
