What I have to say to them is this: COUNT . YOUR BLESSINGS! My husband shares all his feelings and thoughts (mostly negative ones) with me all the time. Every night I am forced to sit for hours listening to him verbalize his thoughts and feelings . He has no time to do yard work or household repairs because he's either too busy thinking and feeling or v~rbalizing his endless critiCisms. He does hold down a steady (sedentary) job, and some of the ways he gets in touch with his feelings -through music and poetry -- are positive. However, when I was in a car accident last year and should have been resting and recuperating, my husband "didn't have time" to help with housework because his piano had to be played and his novels had to be read. When we were first mar· ried, we moved to a small rural town hundreds of miles awaY. from our friends and fanulies. It has been hard to make friends in this closed community. Once every few years a family member or friend is willing to come and Dear· Abby ADVICE vtsll us, but my husband almost always finds a way to alienate our visitors. He will start arguments, tell them what he didn't like about the Christmas presents they gave us, complam about how much money we spend on food while they're at our house, etc. I'm afraid that soon I'm going to have no one left. I've talked to my husband about this several times, but he doesn't see it as a problem. Help! TALKED TO DEATH IN MINNESOTA DEAR TALKED TO DEATH: I am all for sharing thoughts and feelings, but the person you have described is one who is self-obsessed, verball~ abusive, and thinks no one s feelings are as important as his own. By "sharing his thoughts and feelings," your husband is chipping away at your self- esteem and isolating you from friends and family. It's important that you give this some thought and not allow yourself to be his scapegoat. Also, I hope you have, a job outside the home, because it may be your only way to have meanmgful contact with others. DEAR ABBY: I bought my wedding dress two months ago. I showed a picture of it to my sister-in-law who is being married a few weeks before me. Yesterday she went out and purchased the exact same dress. Although she is having a small wedding, my fiance and I are still very upset. She and her fiance insist we are being selfish and inconsiderate of their feelings. Do you think we are wrong to be angry?- P.O. IN N.J. DEAR P.O.: No, I do not. You are entitled to your feelings. That said, there is still time for you to return to the shop where you purchased your bridal gown and discuss how to individualize your attire for the wedding. (Consider a different headpiece and veil. adding or deleting gloves or other accessories, adding or subtracting a train.) And remember, although imitation may be irritating, it's also the smcerest form of flattery. Your sister-in- law is "family," so pleased don't let this cause a perrnanent rift. And in the future, don't show her any more pictures. · Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known ds Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Man sought in Gallia break-ins RACINE, Ohio "Follow the money" was once a slogan used by reporters to understand the financial dealings of government. Schools are funded by levies. "Inside levies" are those taxes which are not subject to local control. "Outside" levies are additional taxes the voters choose to pay to help provide additional funding for public schools. The amount of taxes paid for a house worth $50,000 under a 4-mill tax levy, like the one up for renewal in the Southern Local School District, is approximately $48 per year. The Meigs County Treasurer's office lists the millage rates for the school districts in the local newspaper once each year. For mstance, Southern Local is listed as collecting 32.39 mills. From this amount, there is an inside levy of 3.5 mills. The rest of funding comes from outside levies. State law entitles school districts a millage minimum at 20 mills fol' operating exbu~se~f the total 32 .39 The school district collects 20 mills for operating expenses. There is also ' a 4.89-mill bond levy and a facility levy of .50 mills, but they are not in the same category as operating expenses because the money raised by these levies is specially earmarked for expenses dealing directly with the construc.• tion and maintenance of the schools. There is a total effective tax rate of 25.322 millage collected. . The disparity between the 32.39 and the 25.322 is because the state factors into the system a change in propc erty values. In most cases, a~ time goes by property values increase. .A house that was purchased for $10,000 in · 1980 is probably worth more today.

' ..- GALLIPOLIS, Ohio Gallia County sheriff's investigators are distributing a security-camera image of the man they suspect in a series of break-ins at local businesses over the past week, the most recent overnight Thursday. Detective Chad Wallace said investigators hope the man in the image will be rec· o~nized and inforrnation on h1s whereabouts will be relayed to them. :1 Section• - 1:1 hpl Wallace encouraged anywith information to call AS one Calendar · the county jail at 441-2054. 84-S Classifieds "The information will be Comics 86 relayed directly to the detec86 . tive on the case to allow for Dear Abby A4 Editorials followup and a quicker AS Movies apprehension," he said.

Index The tip line, where information can be left anonymously, is 446-6555. The man is suspected in break-ins and thefts from several businesses. The first was the Fast Stop at Ohio routes 7 and 218 south of Gallipolis on Jan . 16, also broken into Jan. 20 and again Thursday; the Little John's in Centenary last weekend; the Dairy Boy in Crown City and the Guyan Valley General Store at Ohio routes 218 and 553 near Crown City, both on Jan. 18; Fat Boyz Pizza on Ohio Route 160 near Gallipolis on Wednesday ; and Bladen Landing on Ollio Route 7 South Thursday. Wallace could not elaborate on the incidents since an investigation is ongoing, but said "tangible" items were taken from the businesses. Investigators are also looking into break-ins reported at three Centenary-area homes and another on Neighborhood Road last weekend, at a house on Lincoln Pike Tuesday, and at residences on Hamilton and Little Bullskin roads Thursday. Investigators believe there is not a connection between the commercial break-ins and the incidents at the resi- . dences. Wallace advised residents living near businesses to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it immediately to the sheriff's office. Above all , he said, do not intervene in the situation or try to apprehend suspects. "The best advice I can give is that if you live near a commercial location, be alert," Wallace said. "If anyone observes any suspicious activity, call us first." POMEROY, Ohio Potential budget cuts to the school funding formula could impact school districts in Meigs County. According to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), the Southern Local School District spends an average of $7,200 per rupil. The district source o revenue comes from local funds amounting to $2,066, state funds of $3,488 and $786 in federal funds, which add up to a total of approximately $6,300. The district sources of revenue do not equal district expenditures forcing the school district to borrow money to continue operating. Superintendent Bob Grueser said many school districts in Southern Ohio experience deficit spending for survival. Despite Gov. Bob Taft's rhetonc during the State of the State address, there are potential cuts coming to the school parity program prescribed by a legislature pay- ing lip service to the school funding DeRolph case. . The state must balance its budget by June 30. .According to the Office of Budget and Management, the state hopes to cut 2.5 percent or approximately $30 million from the local government fund. If revenue enhancements and local government fund reductions are not enacted by March I, the state is considering a 2.5 percent cut to Education Foundation and Parity Aid and a 2.5 percent cut to Board of Regents Instructional Subsidy. · These potential cuts could have a dramatic impact oa the amount spent per pupil in Southern Ohio. Grueser said if these potential cuts becomes reality, it would amount to approximately $75 ,000 less for his district. "We will experience greater deficits and more borrowing from the state," he said. "Any cuts that are made will add to the difficulties facing us right now. We don't have a surplus and we don't have stuff to cut." Far Thursday, January 30 I AM REAt.t.Y 5fRIKINC.

TIRAD() POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. -Everyone thinks about it, but unfortunately it's one of those things that encourages excuses. "Oh, I can't work out, I don't have the time." "I can't work out, it's just no fun doing it alone." "I can't work_out; it never makes any difference anyway." . . . What Is needed IS a fun ,. mv1g~rat1ng , workout that doesn t take too long and has some measurable results. Thankfully, Billy Blanks attempted to fill this void by creating the ultra-popular workout known as Tae Bo. Tae Bo is part martial arts and part aerobics. The workout sessions include punching, kicking and self defense movements all in time to background rn~sic. The workout includes three periods, warming up, working out, and cooling down in a one-hour session. The excer-. cises involve every part of your body and can burn as many as 800 calories in one session. One appealing things about the workout is that it is a non-traditional fitness workout that involves a group and has different music and moves every time you do it. Most people in the area who use Tae Bo are working out in their homes using the popular tapes that offer routines and instruction, but.this takes away the human interaction and motivation that make Tae Bo what it really is. Tae Bo instructor Ann Snibobal has stepped forward to teach classes at . the Well ness Center at Pleasant Valley Hospital. Snibobal has been actively using the workout for two and a half years, and has been a Tae Bo instructor for five months.

"I rarelr, talk about what I've lost,' said Snibobal, "I talk about what I've gained, self confidence, a better attitude and more energy." Snibobal, who lives in Middleport, Ohio, currently teaches classes in Meigs and Athens County but is corning to PVH to expand the opportunity to residents of Mason County. Snibobal said she was very happy to be invited to PVH so that she can, "help people be the best they can be.' Snibobal is one of only three certified Tae Bo instructors in Ohio and recieved training from Billy Blanks. In July, Snibobal trained at the Tae Bo training center in Canton .and went through a training camp for instructors. At the end of the three days, Snibobal was hand picked by Billy Blanks to become an instructor. Snibobal then trained with Blanks at his facility in California. Snibobal described the Tae Bo philosophy as something you can do to push yourself with your will. Once you do that, you can do anything. During the day, Snibobal concentrates : on being a licensed dispensing optician and works at a three doctor . practice in Athens. The workouts at the Wellness Center will be held three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The sessions on Monday and Wednesday will be at 6:30 p.m. while the sessions on saturday will be at 9 a.m. The sessions start on February 4 . and will continue for eight weeks. The price for each session is $7 per person. Once neighborly town split over suit against coal plant BY MARTitA BRYSON HODEL Associated Press SYLVESTER, W.Va. With an official population count of 197, this is one of those tiny country towns where everybody knows everybody's name. Right now, that's a little too close for comfort. The tension in Sylvester stems from a lawsuit filed by 154 area residents against nearby Elk Run Coal Co., the region's largest employer. Residents are angry over the black coal dust that some days blankets their homes and chokes the air. 'There's a lot of friction," said lnza Hapney. "Sometimes I'm afraid there will be people who will go to their graves not speaking to each other." 'This isn't the place where I grew up," said Linda Roberts. "I don't feel welcome here anymore." The residents who filed the complaint against Elk Run, a substdiary of Massey Energy Co. based in Richmond, Va., contend the company's operations have destroyed property values. They are unable to move away, they say, because they can no longer sell their homes because of Massey's presence . Unlike many other area towns, Sylvester arose as an independent community unassociated with any particular coal company - until Elk Run began developing its site here in the 1980s. Janet Baldwin, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, testified that her family came to Sy Ivester to get away from the dirt and dust associated with most coal towns. "I was raised in a coal camp," Baldwin said. "I know what living in a coal camp is like. I've been there, done that (and) I don't want to do that again." Sylvester, she said, "was . always such a clean community. It was really a good place to live. Just a tight-knit community and clean." Now, she said, "Elk Run has put me · back in a coal camp." Testimony in the case began in December, and the plaintiffs are expected to conclude their case this week, after which lawyers for Elk Run then will begin their defense. If the Boone County Circuit Court jury concludes that Elk Run has caused economic harm to the community, a separate phase of trial will determine whether punitive damages should be awarded, according to a ruling Wednesday by Judge Lee Schlaegel. Under pressure from the community and the state Department of Environmental Protection, Elk Run has already taken steps to control the dust. The company recently erected a dome - what amounts to an enormous balloon - over some of Elk Run's coal handling areas, which have been expanded greatly over the past five to I 0 years. Coal is brought to Elk Run by truck and by conveyor belt from several area mines. A Massey Energy Web site sars the Elk Run facility sh1pped 4. 7 mlllion tons in J99c) ., Calls to Massey were not immediately returned Thursday. "Elk Run boasts one of the largest coal silos in the world and first-rate coal handling facilities," the company site said. "We can load a 150-car unit train in less than four hours." Each railroad car has a capacity of 200,000 pounds, or I 00 tons. The dome over part of the site is more than 11 stories high and large enough to encompass an entire football field complete with bleachers.

TOLEDO, Ohio - The state does not yet know where it will send residents from the one or two mental retardation centers ex pee ted to close, because ,..--......, there are not enough g r o u p h om e s ready to take on more people. Gov. Bob Taft said this week Taft that to help balance Ohio's budget, the Ohio Department of Mental Rehabilitation and Developmental Disabilities will ~radually move people from mstitutions to community-based settings. The challenge will be finding those places. "There today are not enough spaces," said Kenneth Ritchey, department director. "It's not like I have 300 beds · waiting for this to occur." There are I ,895 people living in the state's 12 mental retardation centers. Over the last five years, the state has been slowly reducing that number by moving residents into group homes. masters In Education Classroom Teaching Monday, January 27 r.

Call 992-3383 for more details • .. "This is going to be accelerated," Ritchey said. "That is going to be a challenge." The state has not determined which centers will close. Ritchey said the department will consider operating costs and the a~e of the buildings along w1th how close they are to other state-run centers. The department will ask residents and their guardians if they want to move to another center or leave · the state system, Ritchey said. "We are committed to giving every family of a resident a choice," he said. Residents who transfer to other centers will be in unfamiliar surroundings, and their families will have to travel farther for visits. Dan Housepian, superintendent of the Northwest Ohio Developmental Center in Toledo, said it can take at least three months to prepare a resident to move into a group horne. Centers also must ensure that the caregiver is able to deal with any behavioral problems the displaced residents may have. "We make sure we admit people now that no one can handle," Housepian said. "Some people j11st need someone there for their meals. Others need 24-hour supervision." The 160 residents at the center in Toledo live in nine buildings that look like college dormitories. The rooms are decorated with stuffed animals and pictures of sports teams. Residents have televisions and videocassette recorders and do their own laundry. But there also are at least two workers always in th~ building in case of problems.: Most residents leave durini the day, taking buses to ~ county-run workshop wher~ they learn work skills or per~ form light-indu strial work. Some go to senior citizen cen~ ters. : They also go shopping an~ out to eat. , "These people have become a part of the community/' Housepian said. : Ohio's largest publi~ employees' union is worried about potential job losses. The Toledo center alone employs 340 people. A leader with the 37,000mernber Ohio Civil Service Employees Association said Friday that Ritchey and his senior staff should resign. . . "Any willful intent to cause harm to the people I serve; I would be terminated from my job. I think the same rule~ should apply ' to them,'' said Monty Blanton, president 9f the union's branch that covers the mental health centers. . Ritchey said Blanton's statement was an unfair characterization because the state will work to give families ·a choice. He said the trerld nationwide is to put . more people in community centers: "We can't hold back tht) clock and pretend we're in tht; 1940s," Ritchey said.

Se veral years later, we are begi nning to see that the execution of the plans has its fla ws. Federal legislation was enacted in the death of Megan Kanka, a 7dear-old New Jersey girl who was raped and murdere in 1994 by a paroled sex offender. Convicted sex offenders are required to report their whereabouts to law enfo rcement official s. As it turns out, many of these individuals have failed to report thei r si tuations on a timely basis and h ave moved about without (authorities) knowing their location . Call us cyn ics, but we are more surprised when a criminal abtdes by the law than when he or she breaks it.. It doesn' t s urprise us that these sex offenders are not meeting the requirements of their parole or probation.

Our county has all but let bad times move in on us. Our elected officials have dropped the ball . More taxes could have been going into the county coffers by doing one thing here in Meigs County. Yes, e~tpanding county water into areas that need water, causing one thil)g; Con st~uction al!~ growth for our county. New homes mean new taxes, jobs for local people, a:ll paying taxes. I hope our commissioners will open up the water pipeline for progress here in Meigs .County, and put their hand out for new industrial parks not only on one end of our county but in at least four areas. Let's get this county going. There is work out there. We need to get our government to open up and get the projects going and help industry start building. And Meigs County, who is going to win the battle of the new shopping mall , Meigs, Athens or Jackso n County, W.Va. ? That is a $10 question, but a Jot of jobs it could bring. So keep the hope up . Meigs County may land something someday. Remember, laying the water lines in our county opens it up for growth and new tax dollars it needs now. · Floyd Cleland Rutland, Ohio Shameful conduct Dear Editor:· The 9th Circuit Court o f Appeals is censoring the voice of the majority of American s on the Pl edge of Allegiance issue and must be held accountable. It has been months since the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling banning the Pledge of Allegiance from our schools because of the words "under God." Despite overwhelming public support for the pledge in its current form, the 9th Circuit has conducted a series of lengthy delays to avoid the que stion of re-hearing this case. Also, the same three-judge panel that issued the original ruling ha' pro- .• cee ded to reject "Friend Of The Court" briefs fro m several leadi ng conservati ve-minded org ani zat in ns. including: American Leg ion, American Center for Law and Ju, lice.

Nonetheless, the court ret'u,ed " to even hear the voice of more tl1an 50,000 citizens who care deepl y about this case and our nation. Las t summ er, this case was he;rdlllle news. But now, this issue has droppe!d · off the media's radar.

NO SPIN ZONE ' Clooney's outspokeness could be the end of his career George Clooney' s mocking of Charlton Heston's fatal disease has largely been ignored by the press, which may be the result of Heston's status as the president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), an organization many in the media loathe. As fi rst reported by syndicated columnist Liz Smith, Clooney opined at a National Board of Review event that "Charl ton Heston announced again today · tha~ he is sufferi ng fro m Alzheimer's." When asked by Ms. Smith if the remark went over the line, Clooney re plied: "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the NRA; he deserves whatever anyone says about him." Having had a major dust-up wi th Clooney myself over the problems the United Way had distributing 9- 11 charity donations, I know the actor can get very personaL He said nasty things about me, but almost everyone does as well, so that' s not important. However, the remarks directed at Heston are important because they are mean spirited and, perhaps , unAmerican . It is simply out of line to make fun of a person' s personal tragedy because you disagree with his politics. And then thenfs the press. Just imagi ne if a public figure like Clooney had mocked the paralysis of Chri stopher Reeve or the debi litating cond ition of Muhammad Ali . The media firestorm would have been ferocious; fear and loathing would have consumed newsroo ms eve ry· where. But because the press generall y disagrees with Heston's poli tics, the verbal assault on him goes under-reported . If yo u ever needed an example of Bill O'Reilly COLUMNIST medi a bias, this is it. Most Americans, I believe, do not loathe those with whom they disa~ree . This country was fo unded on vigorous debate. But some people simply cannot tolerate diffenng points of view. Hi, there, George Cloorley. Charlton Heston is not commenting, and his spokesman, Bill Powers, had only this to say about George Clooney: "Apparently, in some cases, class skips a generation." Powers, of course, is referencing singer Rosemary Clooney, George's late aunt. An interesting question now is, will Mr. Clooney 's increasingly verbose posture hurt his career? In GQ magazine, he called President Bush "dim." In another interview, he described the Bush administration ·as being "worse than 'The Sopranos."' Both. comments are certainl y pertn issible in the intense discourse. that politics often engenders, but there is a cumul ati ve effect in ve rbal drive-by assault s. It is my opinion that Alec Baldwin , an extremely talented actor, derailed hi s career by making emotional, poorly thought-out statements like those th reatening Congressman Henry Hyde during the Clinton impeachD)ent. Mr. Baldwin is no longer on many 1a<l ar . screens, even in liberal Hollywnod, ' and has lately been doi ng movit·s lor ' cable television.

German s·ecurity Connecticut first state to innoculate ~ chief says ai-Qaida health workers against smallpox leaders getting in touch with cells BY NOREEN GtWSPIE Associated Press BY JOHN J. LUMPKIN Associated Press WASHINGTON - After a long silence, al-Qaida's senior leadership is once again providing some direction to terrorist cells around the world, a top German security ofticial said Friday. "The threat is at least as high as it was before the Sept. II attacks," said Otto Schily, Germany's interior minister. "We are fighting a hydra." Schily did not provide many details, but said there is evidence that surviving al-Qaida leaders are reconstituting their network of connections around the world. He mentioned no leaders by name. Renewed contacts between leaders and cells would suggest a reversal of a trend that u.s. intelligence officials have observed since the Tali ban's fall in Afghanistan. During the war, many al-Qaida leaders in went into hiding Afghanistan and Pakistan to avoid detection, causing a "decentralization" of authority to conduct attacks. This leti cells to their own devices in plotting anacks, officials said. They predicted smallscale anacks that would be less sophisticated - and deadly than the Sept. II strikes. But if the leadership is reasserting control, that raises the specter of more compli· cated and better-funded plots. Schily, in Washington to visit senior U.S. government officials, told a small group of reporters Friday he was concerned that a U.S. war in Iraq would lead to terrorist attacks, either from e:x,tremist groups or Iraqi agents. although he said there was no evidence Iraq was planning any terrorist-style strikes in response to a U.S . war. The war "cou ld provide an impetus to incite more terrorist attacks," he said. "I think this has to be examined." He said he was particularly worried about strikes in Afghanistan, where Germany has stationed troops to help rebuild the country after decades of war. Germany has taken a strong stance against any new war on Iraq, to the displeasure of the Bush administration. The German city of Hamburg was home to key operatives who conducted the Sept. II attacks, including Mohamed Atta and two other suicide hijacker pilots. He had little new information on Germany's investigation into the cell. Two surviving members remain at large: Zakariya Essabar and Said Bahaji. Schily said the German government had received some information on their activities since the attacks, but nothing conclusive. He also said his ministry is receiving information from the U.S.-led interrogation of Ramzi Binalshibh, another member of the Hamburg cell who was captured in Pakistan one year after the attacks. But that information is coming on the condition it not be used in any prosecutions. particularly that of Mounir El Motassadeq, an associate of the Hamburg cell now on trial in Germany for providing support to the cell. This is to keep it secret, Schily said. HARTFORD, Conn. - Just four doctors rolled up their sleeves for smallpox shots Friday in a feeble start for the U.S. government's plan to vaccinate a half-mildion from-line health care workers across the nation in case of a bioterrorist anack. Connecticut became the first state to take part in the vaccination program. The plan calls for 20 members of a "Genesis Team" to get the shots first and then fan out across the state to give the vaccine to other health professionals. But the number qf team members willing to get the shots dwindled amid reservations from hospitals, nursing unions and other professionals about the risk of deadly side effects from the vaccine. By Friday, officials were expecting just nine volunteers, including a doctor to give the shots. The final turnout of four was a meager beginning to a plan touted as an important step toward protecting the public, but state officials said they expect to vaccinate the full team in the next two weeks. State Health Commissioner Joxel Garcia said three nurses backed out after their union expressed reservations about the safety of the vaccine; one person withdrew for medical reasons; and the fifth wanted more time to make the decision. "I'm feeling fine, thank you," Dr. Robert Fuller said after getting 15 rapid punctures from a two-pronged needle. The 38-year-old emergency room physician at the University of Connecticut Health Center added: "I know the risks ." Dr. Walt Orenstein, head of the National Immunization Program at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said modifications to the vaccine program will probably be needed. But there are no specifics yet. "Until we begin the program and get some experience, it's very difticult to know what needs to be done," he said. Routine vaccinations tor smallpox in the United States stopped in 1972, but the idea was reintroduced in December by the government. 1\venty states so far have requested the vaccine for members of their smallpox response teams. Dr. Robert Fuller, Director· for the Department of Emergency Medicine at th~ University of Connecticut Health Center receives his smallpox vaccination from Dt;: Marcia Trape, Clinical Director for the Occupational & Environmental Medicin~ Department at the University of Connecticut health center Friday at the UCona Medical Center in Farmington, Conn. Just three people, far fewer than hoped, gqt the smallpox vaccination Friday as Connecticut became the first state in the natio~ to inoculate health care workers against a possible bioterror threat. (AP) ~ Experts say as many as 40 people out of every million vaccinated for the first time will face life-threatening reactions and one or two will die. The nurses' union at the Health Center recommended waiting until compensation questions are resolved, saying it is unclear whether there is protection for people who get sick and miss work as a result of the vaccine, or for family members who might get sick through accidental exposure. State lawmakers are working on legislation to clarify that workers' compensation is available to program participants and that health insurance cannot be denied for adverse reactions. The federal government has assumed some liability for the shots, but the protection applies only to negligence in manu- " facturing and administering the vaccine. ;;" Health and Human Services Secretllll Tommy Thompson said he is trying t9 ease workers' concerns and develop !! plan to compensate people who suffer ill effects from the vaccine. " "Make no mistake: We can and mus'! make the smallpox vaccination plan li reality," he said. .. The state's goal is to vaccinate 5,801;) medical workers by April, Garcia saiq; Officials from hospitals across the state said this week it was uncertain whether that goal would be met. Nebraska, Vermont and Los Angeles County have already received vaccine shipments from the CDC but have not started the shots. The Los Angeles County health depart.rnent expects to begin vacci· nating employees Wednesday.

The team announced the deal, worth $60 million, on Wednesday. The ballpark is scheduled to open in April 2004. Padres president Dick Freeman smd the team had investigated PETA's claim and was comfortable that Petco was "handling the situation well." James Myers, Petco's chief financial · officer, said the company's highest priority is concern and care for animals. PETA's ' underlying motivation in attacking Petco, Myers said, is that it "doesn't believe people should have pets." spokeswoman PETA Colleen O'Brien said the group is asking its members and supporters to write the Padres to voice their disapproval. BY ANDRE TtRAOO Staff writer POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - The Point Pleasant Big Blacks were determined not to have a reJ?Cat performance of their first game agamst Marlena. In that game, Nic Dalton won the game on a short jumper as time expired. This time, the Big Blacks wanted to prove that the team was more than just a last minute shot. This time, Point Pleasant fought tooth and nail with the Tigers and were rewarded with a 63-52 win in their first home victory of the season. The Big Blacks started the game somewhat sluggishly but quickly found their feet on both ends of the floor. T.J. Deshuk was the hero for Point Pleasant in this game. Deshuk exploited his size and speed advantage over Marietta's defenders and turned it into a game high 23 points. 'They had a hard time matching up with T.J. (Deshuk) and Hunter (Roush), we had an obvious mismatch," said Point Pleasant coach Richie Blain. "He (Deshuk) is an excellent finisher on the offensive end".

However, for all the action on the court, it was an off-hand comment made after the game that made the biggest impression on me. After scoring 21 points and leading West Virginia to a win, sophomore gurad Drew Schifino felt that a change of shoes and absence of a headband was what transformed his game from a pedestrian four points in the first half to a commanding 17 in the second. "I guess I'm just superstitious," Schifino shrugged. , However, Schifino is just one of Andre Tirado RAMBLINGS many players that are superstious about things ranging from clothing to cleanliness.

The high school basketball phenom played his final home game in St. Vincent-St.Mary's I,700-seat gymnasium Friday night, leading the nation's No. I team to a 98-46 win over Walsh Jesuit With his now-famous Hummer parked outside and before a senior night crowd that included Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett and a film crew from CBS' "60 Minutes," James scored 30 points and added five rebounds and eight assists. "It was a special night for us," James said. ''This is where it all started." James and his teammates have spent the season playing in NBA-sized arenas across the country, giving the 6-foot-8 senior a preview of what to expect when he turns pro. This was just the second chance for the Fighting Irish ( 13-0) to play. on the private school's campus. The team played its season opener in the gym, but that game was suspended because of a power outage. Because of ticket demand for James' games, the school moved its "home" games to the 5,900-seat James A. Rhodes Arena at the University of Akron last year. James said not being able to play more games at the school was sad. "I wish we had had more games here," said James, sporting a Cleveland Browns baseball cap and throwback No. 32 Jim Brown jersey.

But that's how the ball bounced some times." Fans seated in the gym's wooden bleachers were encouraged to squeeze together to accommodate the overflow crowd, and those who couldn't get in watched on a wide-screen TV in the school's student theater. James missed his first three shots, and then it was show time. His fJTSt basket was a ferocious dunk, and after threading a no-look pass to teammate Romeo Travis, James stuffed in an alley-oop from guard Dru Joyce. . Later, James showed his range by burying two 3-pointers from deep in the right corner. He was finally replaced with I :28 remaining, leaving his home floor for the final time to a rousing ovation from fans who have watched him blossom from a talented kid into a superstar. James has six regular-season games left before the state tournament begins. "It's ¥oing to be sad when every.thmg is over," James said. James parked his notorious platinum-colored Hummer H2 on the snow-covered sidewalk just outside the gym's doors, right next to a canary yellow Chevrolet Cavalier that was given away during a raffle. James is still awaiting word from state officials investigating whether he violated an amateur bylaw by. accepting the extravagant sports utility · vehicle as a gift. Gloria James reportedly purchased the vehicle- with a base price of nearly $50,000 - with a loan she obtained from a bank in Columbus and gave ,i t to her son for his 18th birthday.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig's position on the talks - and Rose's eligibility for the Hall of Fame - could be affected by the tax revelations, a high-ranking baseball official said Friday on condition of anonymity. Selig refused to comment Rose, who served a five-month prison sentence a decade ago oil tax charges, owes $151,689 in federal taxes from 1998, according to the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office. The Internal Revenue Service has filed a lien on a home he owns in suburban Los Angeles, property tax records show. Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in 1989 after an investigation into his gambling. He is ineligible for the Hall as long as he's barred from the sport. In addition, The Cmcinnati Post reported Thursday that Rose was seen gambling this week at the Bell agio casino in Las Ve~as and that he was seen in the sports book this week at Caesars Palace. Rose's manager, Warren Greene, and an accountant who has represented Ro se in California, David Stern, did not return tele. phqne calls Friday seeking commen~Caesars Palace spokesman Michael Coldwell said Friday he didn't know if Rose had visited the casino's sports book, but it was the company's policy not to release information on guests. Sandy Zanella, a spokeswoman for MGM Mirage, which owns the Bellagio, said her company has a similar policy and declined comment Baseball's security department began investigating Rose earlier this month, two highranking baseball officials said Friday on the condition of anonymity. Selig and his staff wanted to check out Rose's activities as part of the process of considering his application for reinstatement, one of the officials said. The tax · lien, reported Friday by The Cincinnati Enquirer, was filed by the IRS on from Page 81 they talked guys through some things. Now I think they are being threatened to call everything." It was Izzo's teams of the late l990s and the early part of this decade that turned an already fhysicalleague into a battle 0 the fittest Michigan State had a dearth of big bodies and strong players, and · ·th lzzo even held pracuces WI players in shoulder pads to put more emphasis on the ru~ged play. That led Michigan State to four straight league titles. Self entered the Big Ten in 2001, the year after Michigan State won the national championship, and took the cue. The Illini have shared conference titles each of the last two seasons. What coaches are seeing now, though, is a dramatic change. Rough play is out, athleticism is in, and anyone who dares tread on the Big . Ten's old style better beware. "In my opinion, since Christmas, they've tried to tighten things up," Self said. ''They've been making more calls on what I call touch fouls." Big Ten associate commissioner Rich Falk said there has been an emphasis on calling more fouls on screens and hand-checks, but that the con, ference is only following the NCAA's directive. The ori~inalletter came last year. Thts season, coaches and conferences were sent a reminder after Christmas Devils from Page81 some east baskets." Shawver grabbed nine rebounds for the Devils, while Johnson, Bose, Cody Caldwell Point BWM Big Ten selves," O'jJrien said this week. "That's all ..ye can do. You can't run stuff to get uncontested layups." The game, which tips off at I :34 p.m. CST, gives the Hawkeyes a chance to break a three-game losing streak against the Buckeyes. Ohio State won all three games last year and has won five of the last seven, including three straight at CarverHawkeye Arena. "I know our guys are going to be motivated," Alford said. ''This team has had a lot of success against us." , Iowa should also be at full strength. Alford said Glen Worley has won his bought with the flu and returned to practice Thursday. Oct 4, 2000, on a home in Sherman Oaks, Calif., owned by Rose and his wife, CaroL The six-bedroom, five-bath home was valued from Page 81 at $946,000. .. "We're dealing with this issue," Stem told the Enquirer. " It is absolutely, I 00 percent not apiece. For the rest of the quarter, related to the stuff that happened in the late both teams would trade bas'80s and early '90s." Stem, who did not respond to messages left kets. Marietta depended heaviFriday at his office in Marina del Rey, Calif., ly on Ben Howlett who had a told the newspaper Rose wasn't attempting to team high 18 poinlli in a halavoid taxes, but couldn't pay the entire need offensive output At the amount owed when he filed his 1998 tax end of the half, Manetta scored last and manged to hold on to a return. California's Franchise Tax Board also filed _ slim two point lead at half a lien against Rose on Sept 17, 1999, claim- time. The Big Blacks made their ing he owed $2,772 in state taxes from 1997. That was resolved on Jan. 24, 2000, according statement in the second half by out rebounding, out hustling, to Franchise Tax Board records. Denise Azimi, a spokeswoman for the and out playing Marietta. Point Pleasant made a 6-0 Franchise Tax Board, said liens can be resolved by a payment or by proving that the run to erase Marietta's lead and money was not owed. She would not specify never looked back. On how Rose resolved the lien filed by the state, defense, Kevin Zerkle and Steve Handley took turns saying the information confidential. On April 20, 1990, the former Cincinnati guarding the sharp shooting Reds star pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court Lough and kept him scoreless in Cincinnati to two felony counts of filing for the rest of the game. "Hat's off to Kevin Zerkle, false income tax returos, admitting he didn't report $354,968 in income from autograph appearances, memorabilia sales and gambling from 1984 to 1987. He paid the IRS $366,043 in back taxes, interest and penalties. · In 1989, while Rose was managing the Reds, baseball investigator )ohn Dowd detailed 412 baseball wagers by Rose between April 8-July 5, 1987, including 52 on Cmcinnati to win . Dowd's evidence included betting slips alleged to be in Rose's handwriting, and telephone and bank records. Rose, who repeatedly has denied he bet on baseball, applied for reinstatement in September 1997, and Selig didn't rule on it, saying he saw no reason to alter the ban. But Selig allowed aides to begin talks late in 200 I, and met with Rose in Milwaukee on Nov. 25. Selig's top aide, chief operating officer Bob DuPuy, met with Rose and Greene in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Dec. 16. Selig insisted from the start of the talks that because, Falk said, officials stopped making the calls once the conference season began. "They felt they needed to remind everyone to stay on the points of emphasis not dnly at the start of the year but throughout the year," Falk said. h a1 'd T e anecdot evi ence demonstrates the changes. - Self's team lost two road games last week, to Iowa and Indiana, when the Illini were called for a total of 50 fouls. That prompted Self's critical comments. _ In a Michigan-Ohio State game, the constant whistles made it seem as if it were a volleyball game. In last weekend's Michigan State-Minnesota game, the teams combined for 57 fouls and 70 free throws. "You saw it ·called both ways, but there were so many calls that it made it no fun to play that game," lzzo said. Davis disagrees, because the close calls helped his team. Indiana uses a guard-heavy lineup and its inside game revolves around the play of George Leach and Jeff Newton - two lean, athletic shot-blockers who have been prone to getting pushed around. Davis has,, at times, pleaded for more fouls and doesn't mind the impact it may have on the flow of a game - so long as officials make the right calls. "When you look at the tape, sometimes guys are pushmg our guys with two hands," he said. "A foul is a foul , and I want it called close." , The larger problem may be the inconsistency of rules interpretations. Three days after the Ohio State-Michigan contest, Wisconsin came to Columbus . Eleven fewer fouls were called, and 0 ' Brien couldn't believe that after Badgers guard Devin Harris drew two early fouls, Wisconsin was not get called for another foul in the first half. "Against Miclligan, every touch, every little bump was called," O'Brien said. "Then against Wisconsin, nothing gets called." League officials, however, insist that the officials are only trying to get things right "Clearly, the NCAA has directed and challenged all conferences to stay consistent with calling the ~oints of emphasis," Falk satd. "They may be calling them closer so the play's not as rough." Self · and other coaches believe the rugged play has helped the Big Ten in the postseason when fewer fouls are called. In the last four years, the Big Ten has had six teams reach the Final Four. Michigan State won the title in 2000. and last year Indiana made it to the national championshiR game before losing to Maryland 64-52. But that doesn't mean anr· thing goes, even in the Btg Ten, a conference that once relished its reputation as a physical league. "You ask Newton and Leach, they won't tell you that," Davis said, when asked if the Big Ten has become less physicaL "They think this is most physical conference in the world." and Travis McKinniss each hauled in seven. Johnson also had seven assislli. The Blue Devils were 26for-47 shooting (55 percent), while Athens was a slugglish 13-for-53 (25 percent) from the field.

Most of our neighbors are seniors, and we live a quiet life. I have fibromyal gia, which limits my activities. Our 73-year-old ne~ t-door neighbor, "Pearl," is driving me nuts. She's constantly finding things for me to do for her. I used to help Pearl when she asked, or take her to the store - but no more. She's a loudmouth who has embarrassed me in public. I used to take her to doctor appointments - no more. She's addicted to prescription drugs and has stolen from me. Three doctors in six months dropped her. I've learned not to mention medications I'm taking or she' II hit me up for some. Pearl talks horribly about our neighbors. She also lies. But the icing on the cake carne when she bad-mouthed my own mother to my face. Abby, my life is no lon$er m>" own. I can't go outstde without Pearl hollering at me to come over. I used to have a special place in my garden where I could sit peacefully and write in my journal, but I haven't been out there in weeks because of her. Saturday, January 25, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV Dear Abby ADVICE I've spoken to Pearl 's daughter, but she says to 'just ignore her." I'm at my wit's end. What should I do? TAMMY IN OHIO DEAR TAMMY: Talk to her daughter again. Pearl 's problems are so numerous they cannot be ignored. She needs a medical and psychological evaluation. Assure the daughter that she is not alone with this problem- there are programs in place for seniors that can be accessed by contacting one 's local office on aging. Please don 't wait. DEAR ABBY: I'm employed as a legal assistant in a law office with two other people: my boss, "Jerry," and my co- worker, "Evelyn ." Before reading further, please understand they are not having an affair. My problem is that Jerry shows extreme favoriti sm to Evelyn. Some e~amples: (I) Jerry threw an elaborate party for Evelyn on her birthday and did nothing for mine, even though he was aware of the date. (2) He purchased an "employee incentive" package from an airline to reward "deserving employees" with air miles. Withm six months, he awarded all of them to Evelyn. (3) He ordered business cards for my co-worker and none for me, even though we are both his assistants with the same title. (4) I suspect Jerry gives bonuses to Evelyn and not to me - that are based upon the "good work" that both she and I do for the firm . (5) He's flying Evelyn and her boyfriend first-class to Cancun to attend a seminar with him. (6) Evelyn and I both exceeded our allotted vacation time last year. Jerry made · me pay back the extra vacation days I took, but didn' t make the same request of her. I realize that Evelyn has been a legal assistant for many more years than I have. However, it's obvious that our boss out -and-out favors her. What should I do about it, Abby ?
