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 ?

News editor Governor' s Commission on Teaching Success. The bill has been identified as part of the !25th General Assembly 's priority legislation for the next two years, Evans said in a news release. Evans "I'm honored to be chosen as the sponsor of this bill," said Evans, who began his teaching career at Gall ia Academy High School in the early 1960s. "Education is very near and dear to me and to be selected to spearhead this effort is quite a privilege," he added. " I intend to work hard with all the parties involved to pass this legislation that teachers, administrators, students and all those involved in education can be proud .of." The bill is expected to tackle the hiring, retention and preparation of quality educators and adm ini strators throughout the state to better fulfill their educational commi tment to school children. The recommendations from the governor's commission, a 33-member panel of educators, parents, business and community leaders, and public officials from around the state, will likely appear in the legislation. ''Rep. Evans is the clear choice to lead this effon in the House,'' said Householder.

It's a tad on the long side (three days), but I am not complaining . .My eyeballs were literally nveted to the screen, by literal rivets,' from the moment I sat down until the moment I lost all sensation in my lower body. Yes, this is a classic movie, the kind that makes you laugh; makes you cry; makes you wonder, over and over, if this would be a good time to go to the bathroom. Above all, it's a movie that makes you think about the issues raised by the plot, tlie main issue being: What the heck IS the plot? I say this because it's a very complicated story, with numerous subplots and something like II ,000 major characters, most of whom have hardto-remember names like "Flagodirt" or "Grempkin."

Managing Editor • Herald-Journal, Spartanburg, S.C., on Bush s pro· posed tax cu ts : President Bush's package of tax cuts ma~es sense as an economic stimulus and as long-term tax ~ohcy. In particular. his campaign to end the double tax~tton of corporate dividends is a worthwhile centerpiece to h1s plan. It also would give a needed boost to the stock market and ~ive companies an incentive to focus on long-term profItability rather than on short-term stock price growth. That focus on stock price growth has contributed to the corporate financial scandals and recent failures of several large companies. Bush' s plan would spur both investment and responsible management. . It is a dishonest tactic to argue that the tax quts benefll the wealthy. Wealthier Americans pay the vast majority of . taxes. Tax reductions will go to those who pay taxes: There is no way around that. And when those Amencans are allowed to keep more of their own money and are ~iven an incentive to invest it in businesses, that money Will keep the economy growing. And Bush has included several measures that will help poorer taxpayers. It is true that the president's program is aimed more at the permanent stability and equity of the federal tax system rather than short-term economic growth. But the nation would benefit from these tax cuts immediately and in years to come.

The proposals in the State of the Union address Tuesday night are the president's chance to the defme what he considers at least the starting point for the year's legislative work. Bush used his weekly radio address to impart a taste of the · speech to be delivered a week beyond the two-year midpoint of his presidency. The president said he will focus on broad themes such as boosting the economy, making the country safer from attack, giving the elderly greater access to health care, preaching the gospel of compassion. Beyond it all, he said, will be one overarching message of optimism. . "Our nation faces many great challenges all at once," the president said. "We will owet all of them with courage and steady purpose." Tuesday's address comes a day after U.N. weapons inspectors in Iraq present their findings to the Security Council. Although Bush is expected to forewarn Americans that war may be coming, he touchect on the topic in his radio remarks only briefly, and obliquely. "We will take every measure that is necessary to protect the American people from terrorist groups and outlaw regimes," he said. 'The world depends on America's strength and purpose, and we will meet our responsibilities for peace." Instead, Bush summarized the domestic agenda for 2003 that he will lay out in more detail before Congress. Bush said he would ask lawmakers to approve his $674 billion, I0-year tax-cut plan. He argued that its much-criticized centerpiece, to eliminate taxes on stock dividends, would "lay the foundation for future prosperity by encouraging investment and helping Americans to prepare for the new jobs a growing economy will bring."

Both the United Nations and the United States have pressed Iraq to persuade its scientists to speak privately to the inspectors, hoping the absence of Iraqi officials would encourage them to be more candid about the nature of their work.

In other developments Saturday: - Two men - one carrying three knives and the other shouting "Save me!" - were detained after ttying separately to enter the U.N. inspectors' Baghdad compound. -Secretary of State Colin Powell urged other countries to not shrink from the effort to disarm Iraq, by force if necessary, just because."the going is getting tough."

Florida finally sees a warming trend MIAMI (AP) - Bright sunshine across most of the state Saturday helped temperatures begin climbing back toward normal across Florida after two days of freezing weather that citrus growers had feared could damage their $9 billion-ayear crop. Growers said Saturday they were largely spared significant crop damage. "We actually dodged a major bullet," said Shawn Crocker, a spokesman for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. "I don't think we're going to see any catastrophic damage ." The National Weather Service posted another freeze warning across northern Florida for late Saturday and early Sunday; however, the cold wasn't expected to be as sharp as it was Friday, when temperatures hit the low teens in some areas and snow flakes flew along parts of the Atlantic coast.

Now Laci Rocha Peterson, 27, is that familiar expectant mother and extrovert who smiles from thousands of fliers, posters and television screens around the world. More than a month after the substitute school teacher's Chri stmas Eve disappearance, a multitude of bizarre twists have fueled relentless speculation and innuendo inside a superheated media frenzy. But none - including Friday's surprise appearance of a woman alleging she had an affair with Laci Peterson's husband, Scott have produced answers or arrests. Asked late Friday if his department had gotten closer to solving the case, Modesto police Chief Roy Wasden said, "I don 't believe there's a, sig nificant change we can articulate. Are we closer? I h ope so. ..

"I miss listening to the excitement in her voice when she talks to me about her baby," said Laci Peterson '.s mother, Sharon Rocha. Rocha, making an exhausted, tearful media appearance Friday with her other daughter and son, begged for an anonymous tip to police and for Scott Peterson to tell investigators everything he knows. "There are no words that can possibly describe the ache in my heart or the emptiness in my life," she said. Laci Peterson vanished hours before she had planned to spend Christmas Eve with her husband and family members in Modesto.

Tagliabu~ predicted team owners would scrap the suddendeath format in March at their annual meetings. "We are reassessing it with members of the competition committee and our staff," Tagliabue said Friday at his annual state of the NFL address. There were a record 25 overtime games during the regular season, and I0 of them (40 per· cent) were decided on the first possession. The only OT game during the playoffs was also decided on the fli'St possession. Since the league adopted overtime in 1974, 'n of 342 games that went to extra time (28.3 percent) ended on the first possession. Tagliabue noted the trend has grown stronger in the last nine seasons, since kickoffs were moved back to the 30-yard line. "When the membership looks at that trend,'' Tagliabue said, ''that advantage of receiving first is becoming unbalanced. "How we ftne-tune the rule, I don't know."

Rooney, whose Steelers lost to Thnnessee in the overtime playoff game this year, always was a proponent of the current system. No longer. "I feel it's time to look at it,'' he said. "It should be some system where the other team gets a chance to have the ball. · "We - the Steelers, I mean - have talked about it. If a team receives and scores,. the other team gets the ball and has to outscore them." Tagliabue does not expect changes to the way games are officiated despite several highprofile gaffes, including in two postseason games. In general, Tagliabue said, the ori-fleld calls were correct, the exception being at the end of San Francisco's 39-38 wild-card win over the New York Giants. The commissioner, for one of the rare limes in his 13-year tenure, publicly criticized game officials after they missed a 49ers penalty on the final play, a botched field-goal attempt by the Giants. On Friday, he explained those earlier comments. "We've taken pains to have the mechanics in place,'' Tagliabue said. ''They're designed to prevent that kind of oversight from occurring.

Then there is Sapp, who has a way of taking control of a game even if he is not collecting sacks and a huge number of tackles. Forget the arithmetic - Sapp can terrorize opponents without piling up the slats. "He taught me a lot when I was in Tampa," said Middleton, who can expect some more lessons Sunday. "It will be like old friends having fun." Well, not exactly. How many buddies slam each other around for a couple of hours as they try to lay claim to the other's territory? The winner will'enter some very special territory. Should the Raiders post therr season's average of 28 points - it's ue to 35 112 in the playoffs - they likely will earn their fourth NFL title.

It was Davis who extracted two first-round draft choiees and two seconds, plus $8 rillllion, from the Glazers a year ago to free Jon Groden to skip from one pirate ship to another. Groden now coaches the Buccaneers, but he helped put together what has become a nearly unstoppable offensive machine in Oakland. · Bill Callahan, whom Groden hired with the Raiders, now oversees the AFC chainpions, in their first Su~ Bowl in 19 seasons. Tampa Bay is in 1ts first ever. And each side brings the very best unit: Oakland's star-studded offense and Tampa Bay's headliner-ftlled defense.

Or that Ttm Brown, who did not have his best season, still caught 81 for 930 yards. And has really come on in the postseason with a team-high 12 catches.

Meigs beats River Valley to win sixth straight BY JtM Souuav ' sports correspondent ROCK SPRINGS , Ohio Coach Carl Wolfe's Marauders posted their sillth consecutive victory on the home courtas they topped the River Valley Raiders, 51-38, in a low scoring contest. With the win, the Maroon and Gold stand at 6-5 while the Raiders drop to 4-7 on the season. Raider Jay Jenkins opened the scoring with a-pair of free throws twenty five seconds into the game. Jon Bobb countered for the Marauders with a goal followed by Dakota De Witt's two pointer at the 6:42 mark. The Raiders would go scoreless during the next six minutes until DeWitt canned his second goal at the :51 mark. During the Raider drought, Brooks Johnson, Ryan Hannan and Carl Wolfe contributes a field goal each and Buzz Fackler sank one from outside the arch to put Meigs up ll-6 after one period. River Valley was not about to fold, however, · as the Meigs defense falu;red in the second stanza to take a one point lead (24-23) into the locker room. Jared Swain wrapped a pair of goals aaround one by Doug Dill . Stephen Harder and Bobb traded field goals followed by DeWitt's free throw and Swain's third goal of the quarter to knot the score at fifteen with five minutes to play. . Meigs retaliated with a charity toss from Carl Wolfe, Fackler's second from outside the circle and Hannan's two pointer to give the Marauders a five point edge. DeWitt notched a pair of goals, Swain and Derek Layton each added one in the final two minutes to boost the Raiders to their halftime and final lead of the night. Switching to a tight zone defense in the second half, Meigs limited the Raiders to ju st fourteen points in the final two quarters . Ryan Hannan accounted for four pointsand Brooks Johnson added two before Harder canned a field goal at the 2:28 mark. DeWitt posted :a pair of goals and a free throw in the final two minutes and Ryan Hannan scored for the Marauders to put the local lads on top 35-31 with eight minutes left. Failing to crack the zone defense, River Valley managed just one point through the first five minutes of the final frame . Not only did the Meigs defense throttle the inside game, the Raiders failed to hit on ten tries from outside the arc Jared Swain canned the only field goal for the Raiders in the final eight minutes although they did pick.r up five points from the charity stripe. Meanwhile Dill, Johnson and Ty Ault Jed the Maraudeer assault to help post the win. Both Coach Wolfe and Coach Layton agreed Meigs' zone defense wqas a key factor in the contest. "We did not attack the zone could not get a good outside shot," stated Coach Layton . Coach Wolfe had high praise for the team effort exhibited by the Marauders on both the offensive and defensive end of the court. Meigs sank 18-of-30 from two point range (60 percent), 2-of-7 outside the arch (29 percent) and 9-of-17 from the free throw line (53 percent). The Maraudes grabbed a total thirty reboounds and committed thirteen turnovers. River Valley hit 14-of-34 two pointers (41 percent) and l 0 of 20 charity throws (50 percent). They had 22 rebounds and committed just 13 turnovers. DeWitt BY SCOTT WOLFE MCARTHUR, Ohio Hitting 25-34 from the line, the Vinton County Vikings dropped the Eastern Eagles 7663 Friday night during interdivisional play in boys varsity basketball action in the TriValley Conference. Eastern is now 9-6 overall and Vinton County 11-3. Usually a conservative team, Eastern developed a case of eFoulitisi, with symptoms that took them out of their game plan early. Still, Eastern managed to stay within striking distance throughout the contest. Four Eastern players spent time on the bench with four fouls, and two others had three, a point Coach·Howie Caldwell felt hampered his clubfs chances of winning. Caldwell said, "Our kids played hard under very adverse circumstances." Free throws certainly more than made up the difference in the game, Eastern made four more field goals than the Vtkings. Vinton County was led by Chris Bethel with 19 points, Brian Dixon 15, Ryan Kent 12, Keith Johnson 13, Josh Ruckel four, Josh Ousley four, and J.D. Holsinger four.

(Chris Cozza photos) BY CHRIS MYERS CozzA Staff writer POINT PLEASANT, W.Va.· Matthew Hall, 16, has come a long way since making grilled cheese and tomato soup for his. mother . when he was in the fourth grade, but he has no plans to stop until he earns the elite title of chef. Hall said he has always enjoyed cooking, but two years ago he decided that liis future would include cooking for more than just family and friends. And he is determined to reach his goal. . A junior at Point Pleasant J:ligh School, Hall resid~::s in Southside with his mother and stepfather, Brenda and Roger Steele, and sister Samantha Hall. It's not surprising that Matthew has a talent ·for c:ooking. His mother also is ~nown for her mastery of food preparation. They love to cook. "I've learned a lot from my mom," Hall said. "But sometimes when she tries tb give me advice, I have to tell her that her way is not t)le way I was taught in school. And she's OK with that." Hall is in his second year of the Pro-Start program offered at the Mason County Career Center. He erepates lunch at the center each day, giving him another opportunity to improve his skills while providing meals for the children. When he prepared the items for this feature story, t)le aroma drew faculty and students in to see what smelled so good. And everything tasted as good as it smelled. Hall and three teammates may have an opportllnity to impress judges with their culinary talent at the Greenbrier Resort and Spa in March as part of the Pro-Start Hospitality Bowl. Only six of 42 teams will be selected to prepare three recipes - a salad , entree and dessert. The six teams will be announced Feb. 14. Jackie Anderson, Hall 's instructor at the center, has been teaching the Pro-Start ·Program for eight years. She was complimentary of Hall and his drive to succeed. "Matt's been focused from day one -· the day he decided to become a chef," Anderson said. "He works very hard. I enjoy students like Matt because they ate eager to learn. " She added that the cuI inary arts academic program is very demanding, and in order to receive the title of chef, each student must pass a special exam in addition to the class work and in\ernshir. One o Anderson's former students is currently attending a culinary school and two more are scheduled to begin school this fall. Hall said he is interested in attending the Culinary Institute of America in. New York, but has another year · to make up his mind .

Take for instance the horror stories by a man named Andrew Wakefield that were brought out in the media that the MMR (measles, mumps. and rubella) vaccine causes Autism. First of all what is Autism? Autism is a developmental disorder in which children have impairments in social interaction, communication skill, and a tendency to have repetitive behaviors or interests. The severity of autism can very from child to child. Autism is usually diagnosed after 12 months of age. In 1998, Mr. Wakefield published an article in the English Medical Journal, The Lancet, that autism might be caused by the MMR vaccine. The report stated that children given this vaccine developed inflammation of their intestines that preceded the development of autism. Based on this study, The Medical Research Council of Britain and several medical researchers from the United States investigated this study. The research studies showed no association between MMR vaccine and autism. Let us look at how the panel came to their conclusion. The two studies were very different as you will see. Mr. Wakefield studied and evaluated 12 children, the panel evaluated 500 with no links found. Because MMR is administered at a time when man>' children are diagnosed with autism, 11 would be expected that most children with autism have received an MMR vaccine. Determination of whether MMR causes autism is made by studying the incidence of autism in both vaccinated and unvaccinated children, Mr. Wakefield did not study this.. Mr. Wakefield's study suggested that MMR vaccination caused bowel problems in the children, which then led to autism. In some of the children studied, symptoms of autism appeared before symptoms of bowel d1sease. Mr. Wakefield also found Boneless Fresh Chicken Breast .. GROUND CHUCK BANANAS 25¢Lb. ·,.+_.JOMATO ..

Measles vaccine is a live virus and after vaccination the vaccine virus is taken up by cells to boost the immune system for protection against the disease, so it would . be expected to see the virus in the intestinal tissues. Natural measles virus was also circulating in England at the time Mr. Wakefield made his studies. He chose not to distinguish the virus as natural or vaccine. Also, there was no sudden increase in cases of autism after the introduction of MMR vaccine in 1988 in Great Britain. Such an increase would have been expected if the MMR vaccine was causing autism. It has been reported that data from California have been used to show an increase in cases of autism since the introduction of MMR vaccine. However, the data is not accurate due to the fact that the figures presented are based on numbers, not rates and does not account for the increase in population. Also, children with autism are currently being diagnosed at earlier ages and therefore will show an increase in the number of reported cases. Studies are now being examined br, using the "home movie studies.'

I doubt if I will be writing any more stories as my mind 1s not what it used to be. I just returned from the Cleveland Clinic and there isn't anything they can do to help me. It is in my lungs and I have trout11e breathing. They cannot operate because it is too close to my heart. Most of my family had longevity. My IJrother Earl lived to be 94, and my mother lived to be 96. I will be fortunate if I make it to 90 and I will be happy if I do. I have just retired from my 70 years of business at Tawney Jewelers and Studio. During my lunch when I was in high school, I would go over to Watts Studio at 33 Court St., and run errands and help Mr. Watts in the studio. He taught me how to develop and print pictures. When I received my diploma, Mr. Watts wanted me to work for him and my dad wanted to me to stay on the farm and work and he would give me some land. My dad loaned me part of the money to buy half interest in the business. I thanked my dad for the offer, but I didn't want to stay on the farm and work. My dad loaned me part of the money to buy half the interest and I had the rest of the amount from my farm projects in Future Farmers ·of America. l began work on June I, 1933 . Eight months later, Mr. Watts suffered a heart attack and couldn't work. He told me I would have to buy his half of the business or he would have to sell it to.someone else. So I went back to dad and he signed a note for Page C4 Max Tawney MEMORIES me . I hired me a helper for the studio, and during the week I would go throughout the area and take school pictures from here to Charleston, W.Va., to Hazard, Ky. Then I began taking in photo finishing and taking portraits. In less than a year, we were developing about 80 rolls of film a day and this was all done by hand. In 1935, I went to Indiana and earned a diPloma from the School of Photography in Winona .. ) owned the business, but Sherman Gilmore came in telling me he was going to sell the building within 30 days . He gave me first refusal on buying the building. So I went back to dear old dad for a loan and he had to put up his farm as collateral. He reminded me if I didn't make the business profitable that he would lose everything. I ended up paying my dad what I owed him in less than two years. ' Looking back, I appreciate more and more the way my dad raised me. It wasn't always easy, but he was always there for me. After 30 years, I outgrew the building at Court and Second, so I rented the building at 424 Second Ave. from the Masonic Lodge. After three years, I outgrew that place and bought (Claude) Wall's Jewelry Store next door and connected the · two buildings. I sure have seen a lot of changes in downtown business. It is not like it used to be. It is a shame that big discount chains have·come to Gallipolis and it has killed downtown business. It is terrible to see downtown fade out, but that is what is happening. But I sure have had some happy memories of being in business from 1933 to 2003. I sure am glad I left the farm and became a merchant in town. I have turned my business over to my son David, and he is doing a wonderful business and I hope it continues. Being m business today, you are faced with a lot of competition , People forget about the small businesses and they end up going out of business. Back in the '30s and '40s, I remember staying open until 9 or I 0 on Saturday nights. I generally did more business on a Saturday night than I would two or three days during the week. Every store in town stayed open late Saturday because this is when the farmers and their families would come to town to go shopping after their chores were done. I have really enjoyed being in business for 70 years . . The people have been good to me and have made me money. I sure have appreciated the people that have patronized my store and the business has grown every year. I believe you should be good to your customers and they will do good business with you.

" Far from Many readers love historical fiction, particularly books about the Civil War. Cited by historians as the greatest crisis which has challenged our country, the Civil War has been the subject of thousands of books. However, there has been little written about this particular aspect of the war. Three summer days in July of 1863 saw the 'worst civic disturbance in the history of the United States.' The terrible riots in New York City were precipitated by President Lincoln's call for a draft. The poor of the city, primarily the Irish, were incensed by the provision that allowed any rich man to pay $300 and be exempted from the draft. This was two years' wages for a laborer. A slave could bring a thousand dollars. Thus, they were doubly insulted, being made to feel even more worthless in the eyes of others. by Frank Selected McCourt, author of 'Angela's Ashes' and 'Tis,' for the Today Show Book Club, 'Paradise Alley' by Kevin Baker gives us a narrative of the riots through the eyes of three Irish women and their families. Baker is a writer for 'American Heritage' magazine, as well as the chief researcher for "The American Century.' Baker presents a gritty portrait of the miserable surroundings of the Irish on the Lower East . Side. Feral pigs . roam the s'treets; filth accumulates everywhere; people live 290,000 per square mile; the most densely packed neighborhood on Earth. The story is told from several points of view.

Karam takes readers into tbe heart of "the box" in an adventure that is not for the fainthearted. . With details that are picture-perfect and often disturbing, Karam shows what it means to be an emergency medical technician in the gritty, urban world . of Newark, N.J. Karam's journalistic · and EMT skills are both on display in this book, which comes alive with all the drama of an "ER" episode. But these stories are about real people , and aren't neatly resolved in one hour. As Karam depicts them , EMTs, or "blue-shirts," are overdriven , underpaid adventure-seekers who don't sleep enough and'witness more traumatic events · in a 12-hour shift than most of us will see in a lifetime. They dive into situatiors 1 with little information other than that someone needs medical assistance. It could be a drug addict who has fallen onto train tracks or the victim of a robbery or assault. EMTs often arrive before the police do, and sometimes while bullets are still !lying. There's a definite agenda in these pages. Along with plenty of heart-wrenching narratives about patients in crisis, Karam describes the administrative challenges; endless paperwork; physical and emotional stress; conflicts with hospital administrators and city and health officials; and the general atmosphere of disrespect that EMTs frequently suffer. There are also budget problems, equipment problems and staffing problems inc Iuding tensions between volunteers and paid staff- and perpetual shortages. The exhaustive research that went into this book seems intended to educate and perhaps inspire activism.

Sundance Film Festival offers sharp portraits of losers and fringe dwellers PARK CITY, Utah (AP) This year's Sundance Film Festival was prime-time for sad sacks, including Paul Giamatti as a sour comicbook writer, William H. Macy as Vegas' biggest loser and Peter Dinklage as an anti-social dwarf. Here are highlights of the festival that ends Sunday. "American Splendor": Paul Giamatti is a marvel of frumpy embitterment as underground comic-book Pekar. writer Harvey Directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini cleverly incorporate animation, archival video, and segments with the real Pekar and his associates to craft a brisk, bold, hilarious and touching biopic of a man battling just one personal demon: himself. "My Flesh and Blood": An extraordinary portrait of a woman and her found family. Jonathan Karsh's documentary examines the life of Susan Tom, who adopted II special-needs children including legless girls, terminally ill boys and a victim of horrible bums. The human drama ·- joy, rage, sorrow, unrealistic hopes - among these unlikely siblings blows away just about anything the festival's make-believe tales can muster. · "The Station Agent": Writer-director Tom McCarthy presents a beautifully understated portrait of friendship among a woman (Patricia Clarkson) mourning her son's death, a garrulous coffee peddler (Bobby Cannavale) tending his ailing father, and a train-obsessed dwarf (Peter Dinklage) who inherits an old rail depot. The performances are exquisite, with Dinklage pitch-perfect in the polite drollne ss hi s character uses to fend off human contact. "Mondays in the Sun": Puzzled over how Spain up Pedro passed Almodovar's "Talk to Her" as its Academy Awards entry? Here's why.

Pots, pans and utilities hung from a rack above the work table. The kitchen is rarely used nowadays except to cook family meals, but in the early 1900s an African-American lady found notoriety as a cook in the now defunct restaurant. "Aunt Kate," as she was known to guests, was known for miles around for her sumptuous fare and was included in their advertising of the Spencer Hotel - the hotel's name until 1929. A few years ago, Finley said that a young black lady stopped in, looking for one of her ancestors. "She asked if I may have heard of her aunt who was famous for her cooking and worked at a hotel somewhere in this .area. Before she could give me a name, I asked if her name was Kate and told her the story. The girl was ecstatic to find the hotel where her aunt had worked," said Ruth Finley. The hotel has not changed much in the 100 years since it has been built. The Finleys bought the building in 1990 and have made a few changes, but strive to keep the antique flavor that makes the hotel so charming. The hotel was built with frontage on Main Street that could be rented out to businesses to help with the overhead. In 1905, the first floor had a "barber shop, a bar room, wholesale · liquor rooms, a large dry-goods storeroom, banking rooms of the Merchants National Bank, two . sample rooms , a ladies reception room, a billiard room and toilet rooms," according to the State Gazette . The storefront businesses that existed in 1905 are long gone, but the Finley s still rent the storefronts to local busi nesses. It helps to keep the hotel in operation by bringing in income for the times when business is slow. Ruth said that people · thought that they were crazy when they bought the building. "It's been a struggle. In some respects , it's harder than J ever thought possible, but in other w~y s , it' s been very rewarding," said Finley.

H Associated Press ow do you like bit· ing into a cultivar, or looking at the beautiful petals of a cultivar, or the autumn foliage of a cultivar. "Cultivitr" is such an ugly word for a plant with so many qualities. A cultivar is any cultivated v-ariety of plant. "Cultivated variety" contracts to "cultivar, " a word that was made up not too long ago. Gardeners used to just sa y "variety " (a nd many of us still do ). but th e objec ti on is that was that thi s confu sed a culti· vated variety with a botanical variety . A botani cal variety is just the further splitting up of specie s. Cabbage , broccoli , and kale , for example, are all different botanical vari eties of the same species. Spec ies are so metimes split up to a level diffe rent from botani cal variety. If a group of pl ants within a ' species is different from the rest, but not quite dif· ferent enough to warrant variety status, they may be placed within a sub · species. And if they are a little more diff~re nt than a variety, they rna}' become a botanical form .

In 1968, more than a million signatures on petitions from loyal passengers and faithful crew alumni, led by retired Delta Queen entertainer Phyllis Dale, resulted in an Act of Congress exempting it from a federal ban on wooden passenger ships. And now, in just the past year, the Delta Queen has survived the most sinkinj! blow of all: bankruptcy, whtch left her high and . dry in New Orleans last January. Then, responding to a hurricane of Internet pleas on a steamboat fan Web site, along came Delaware North, a Buffalo, N.Y.-based hotel and catering group which acquired the venerable Queen and its two younger and larger siblings, the Mississippi Queen and the American Queen. "I guess she's just channed, bless her wood-lined sou[" • says Capt. Mike William~. taking a break from the bridge as the Delta Queen chugged along at 9 knots through the Barkley Canal connecting the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers at Paducah. "In Mark Twain's day, the average life of a riverboat was less than five years. Their boilers blew up, they caught fire, hit a snag and sank, or just got worn out carrying tons .of cotton bales. But even ·ihe best of them, like the luxurious J.M. White with her crystal chandeliers and plush carpets, never had a following like this boat. We got 163 passengers aboard. and more than 100 of them are repeats. Some are making their 25th, even 30th cruise, and that's not uncommon." We boarded this rare old beauty at Chattanooga for a 781-mile voyage down the Tennessee, Ohio, and Cumberland rivers, settling into the cozy and quaintly furnished stateroom with "Texas" embossed on the door. Since Texas entered the Union in 1845, riverboat cab· ins have been named for states, but the Delta Queenwith 87 all outside cabinsran out states. So the extra cabins are named for celebrities who have bunked down there, like Princess Margaret, Helen Hayc;s, Van Johnson, President Jimmy Carter, who used the landing stage, the swinging gangplank, to campaign in Burlington, Davenport, and neighboring Mississippi River precincts, and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who early every morning led an aerobics class out on deck. At every lock, the Delta Queen got priority, ~umping ahead of towboats pushing 15 barges, pleasure boats and sightseeing craft, not because of age or beauty, but because it has on board a U.S. post office with its own postmark. "Keep those postcards coming if you don't want us sitting here all day," urged historian Karen "Toots" Maloy, who calls herself a "riverlorian" and kept us informed via the public address system on what was happening all around us. The Delta Queen is listed on the National Historic Register. It is the only nation' allandmark found in a differ' ent place most days. Its crew loyalty almost exceeds the passengers'. More than half returned after a year on the beach, some like our waiter Victor giving up better paying jobs they had found during the bankruptcy layoff. 'They just love the old boat; they _got mud in their blood," says capt. Williams, who suffers from the same incurable aflliclion. Born on the Mississippi at St.L.ouis,gotajobasadeckhand on an excW'Sion boat before he was into his teens, joined the Delta Queen in 1981 and worked his way up to the bridge, g-.rining a pilot's, then a master's ·license before he was 40.

"We are taking steps to ensure that the park will remain beautiful for many generations to come," Bostic said. "Twenty additional trees will be planted to replace those that we lost, as well as those that we will lose in the future, and we are currently working on a five,year maintenance program. "We understand that it is a park, and we are trying to find a balance between keeping it beautiful and keeping it functional," he added.

"It's not that we are trying to frighten anyone, we just want people to be informed." The emphasis now is on forming a committee of 29 volunteers who can be trained to assist in disseminating information in the county about what to do should a natural disaster, catastrophic emergency or terrorist attack take place. "Understanding what could occur is the first step toward getting prepared to handle what comes," said Byer who· is working with Coates on organizing and training the committee of volunteers. "The key is to get the public ready for whatever might happen, and the role of the Homeland Security committee is to get the word out on what to do in the event of an emergency. The best defense is being prepared to deal with potential threats and disasters," he said. Byer explained that he wasn't just talking about terrorism, but about major storm s, tornadoes and floods that might strike in the county. The pl an, according to the emergency management director, is to get out into groups where 1he pro~ ram can be explained, and get the mformational brochure "Are You Ready" into the hands of people. Coates said that I0,000 copies of the brochure have been prepared covering many things that residents need to know about wliat to do in a catastrophic emergenc y. The brochure covers chemical attack, nuclear attack, major floods, winter storms tornadoes and earthquakes. It lists emergency stations in the county and explains what is needed to have on hand should residents be required to "shelter in place" or stay where they are until other arrangements can be made.
