"The vehicle is steady and smooth. with just mainly the light show outside the window and the instrumentation reminding you of the physics at work," said Sullivan, the president of the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus. Sullivan, a mission specialist on shuttle flights in 1984, '90 and '92, was Glenn about to board a plane for Columbus when she ;;aw news of the disaster on a television at the airport in Portland, Ore. "We understand the combination of risk and reward and caution, concern and exhilaration that any flight represents," she said. "You prepare for the hazards as best you can and focus on the mission." The only other fatal' accident involving the shuttle fleet was the explosion of Challenger in 1986, which killed all seven astronauts on board, including Akron native Judith Resnik. "I think NASA's safety record has been an amazing safety record over the years," said Glenn, who holds the distinction ..of being the first American to orbit Earth and the oldest space traveler. Glenn, who orbited Earth · on Feb. 20, .1962, returned to space on the . shl!,ltle Discoyery in 1998 at age 77. For Paul Resnik, · one of Judith Resnik's cousins. the memories - and feelings of dread from the Challenger accident on Jan. 28, 1986, came flooding back Saturday. "Today, as soon as I saw the news on the TV, the frrst ·thing I thought about was the Challenger," Resnik said from his home in La Plata, Md . "Of course, we don't know yet why it happened or how it · happened," he said. "It's certamly an unfortunate situation that the country's going to have to go through this all again." Sen. Mike DeWine, who helps decide on NASA's funding as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said it was too soon to deterinine what role the Columbia disaster would have on the space agency's budget. "There has never been enough money to do all the thiqgs we. ·want to do in space," said DeWine, ROhio. "But that was true before this disaster and will qe true after this disaster."

It wok persistence, but the EPA eventually nailed New Boston Coke, which was spewing cancer-causing benzene and other noJ( ious chemicals virtually unchecked from the stacks of its coal-baking plant in New Boston, south of Columbus on the Ohio River. The plant was shut down during a labor dispute last spring and last month, \he EPA won a $2.6 milhon legal judgment against the firm, which is now in bankruptcy, How bad was the pollution? The EPA estimated that one of every 500 people exposed to New Boston Coke's emissions would have a higher than normal chance of developing cancer. That's 200 to 2,000 times more serious than most urban areas, where the risk would range from one per I00,000 to one in a million. The state EPA likely will have little success in collecting the judgment against New Boston Coke , given the company's financial problems. But the agency should get credit for sticking with the case and finally bringing to heel one of Ohio's worst polluters. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Feb. 2, the 33rd day of 2003. There are 332 days left in the year. This is Groundhog Day. Today's Highlight in History : On Feb. 2, 1653, New Amsterdam - now New York City - was incorporated. On thi s date: In 1536, the Argentine city of Buenos Aires was founded by Pedro de Mendoza of Spain. In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. ending the Mexican War. was signed. In 1870, the "Cardiff Giant," supposedly the petrified remains of a human discovered in Cardiff, N.Y., was · revealed to be nothing more than carved gypsum. In 1876, the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was formed in New York. In 1882, Irish poet and noveli st James Joyce was born · near Dublin. In 1897 , fire destroyed the Pennsylvania state capitol in Harrisburg. (A new statehouse was dedicated on the same site nine years later.) In 1943, the remainder of Nazi forces from the Battle of Stalin grad surrendered in a major victory for the Soviets in World War ll . In 1945 , President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill departed Malta for the summit in Yalta with Soviet leader Josef Stalin . In 1971 , ldi Amin ass umed power in Uganda, following a coup that ousted President Milton Obote. In 1996, dancer, actor and choreographer Gene Kelly died at hi s B.everl y Hill s, Calif., home; he was 83. Ten years ago: In a speech to the National Governors' A ss oc i .~ ti o n , President Clinton I?,ledged to transform welfare mtu a hand up, not a handout by givmg recipients traming and then requiring them to work . Fi ve years ago: President Clinton unvei.led a $1 .73 trillion budget claim ing the first surplu ses in 30 years and pumping billions to school s, health and child care. The government released stati sties showing deaths from AIDS fell by almost half during the first half of 1997, a decrease attributed to increased use of powerful combinations of medicines. .One year ago: Inside the World Economic Forum in New York. foreign economic leaders criti cized the United States for pro tectioni st policies while outside, thousands of protesters demonstrated against global capitali sm.

Thought for Today : "The great temptation is to have an ali bi." - George Abbott, A m e r ~ca n theatrica l producer • ( 1887- 1995). •. ( OUR READERS' VIEWS Who do you believe? Dear Editor: Plant expansion, riverfront property needed for barge landings, buffer zone. between plant and village, no health dangers, no pollution, in compliance with state regulations, village and area not a dangerous place to live, sulfuric acids levels nowhere near dangerous levels . The list goes on and on. I wonder who AEP is trying to convince, us or themselves, that all is well with the Gavin Power Plant facility. All one has to do is look up at the steam which I believe is a camouflage to the real emission output. When the steam dissipates, one can see at its end a brown trail across the. sky as far as the . eye can see. According to the Toxic Release Inventory, Gavin reports in 2001 2,714,231 pounds of pollutants into the air, 19,217 pounds into water, 2,809,465 pounds on site land, 6,144 pounds off site transfer, for a total release of 5,809,039 pounds. Of the releases into the air, sulfuric acid aerosol, hydrochloric acid aerosol and hydrogen fluoride being the top three. Others include mercury, arsenic and lead, to name just a few. We are told we are safe, but I remind you, everything that goes up must come down. The question is, where is it landing? And more importantly, what happens to our health, the soil and water because of the pollution'' Paul Stinson Cheshire, Ohio Just unbelievable Dear Editor: It was so unbelievable that I was tempted to laugh at the article printed in the Friday, Jan. 24 newsp!lper. At the same time, I was extremely sad knowing there are many gullible people who will believe this man. Why? Partly because he eliminates much that veople do not want to follow. They don t stop to think. In the article, Harold Camping, a "Christian" radio host, encourages peopie to worship in their homes .- with no church leaders, baptism or communion. According to him, "The Bible says God is no~ saving people any longer in the churches: they're being saved outside the churches." Notice: Mr. Camping doesn't quote any scripture to support.his theory. It's all just talk without any foundation. However, he is good at raking in the money; some $12 million per year. Guess that tells his real purpose. I suggest Mr. Camping needs to go back and study his Bible. James I: 17 tells us that there is no variableness with God, while Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. No changes here. I John 4: I informs us to try the spirits ' '• '·· . whether they are of God because many . false prophets are in the world. They are , deceitful worker.s, transforming ·them- ; selves into angels of light ' (II Cor. : II : 13), perverting the gospel of Christ : (Gal. 1:7). All spiritual blessings, including salvation, are found in Christ (Eph. 1:3). : Baptism also puts us into · Christ (Romans 6:4,5). Mr. Camping also says, "Satan has ,. taken over all churches." To some , extent this is true, as we may look : around and see many faiths (Eph. 4:4- i 6). However, the church where God and ~ his truths may be found still exists in its !· purity. It matches the church of the N,!)W • Testament. : Mr. Camping says of his critics, ~'L : · worry about their standing with the·:• Lord." He would do well' to flfst.''Ml~~ about his own: it certainly is not in line with God's word. After reading Harold Camping's article, I'm not laughing, but I'm certain · Satan is. He is deceiving many. How I wish that each person would , study the Bible and go strictly by its truths. God is not willing that any • should perish (II Peter 3:9). According ; to John 12:48, one day that word will . judge us. God has done his part; we must do ours. · . • Juanita Wood · Member of Chapel ' Hill Church of Christ Gallipolis, Ohio BARRY'S WORLD On the hunt for Babe Ruths keys to success· While you're enjoying your comfortable, low-risk lifestyle, with your childproof aspirin bottles and your reducedfat Cheez-lts, some brave divers are preparing to plunge into the dark, frigid waters of New England in a quest for a legendary object - an object that, if found, could have a profound effect upon all humanity. Or at least Red Sox fans. • That's right. These llrave divers are lookin~ for what could be the single most unportant. submerged legendary artifact (freshwater di~ision) in all of baseball : Babe Ruth's pjano. · I am not making this up. You may have seen it in the news: There is a seri ous effort afoot to retrieve an alleged piano that Babe Ruth allegedly caused to sink to the bottom of an alleged pond in Sudbury, a small alleged village in Massachusetts. I apologize for the cautious wording, but the details of thi s incident are hazy, as is so often the case with assaults on pianos. I know about these things. I once owned an upright piano that found itself in the wrong place at the wrong time specilically, at a party in my home during which a group of people decided to sing an extreme versiOn of The Dixie Cups' hit song ''Chapel of Love." The next morning, my living-room floor was covered with what turned out to be imponant piano parts. To this day, none of the people involved can remember how thi s happened. The Babe Ruth pi ano story is equally murky. What I ha ve been able to determine, by painstakingly readin ~ stories written by real journali sts, is thi s: In 1918, Ruth rented a cottage, with a piano, next to Willis Pond, which, like many ponds of that era, was fi lied with water. One version of the local legend is that Ru th. "possibly lubricated with akohol," as the New York Times (a Dave Barry COLUMNIST newspaper) put it, threw the piano into the pond to display his strength. This versiOn is unlikely: Even a very strong, very lubricated man would be unable to throw a piano into a pond. An accordion, yes. In :fact, more people SHOULD throw accordions into ponds. But pianos are in a different league. The more realistic version is that when the pond was frozen, Ruth threw a party, and at some point he and the other party-goers dragged the piano out onto the ice - why rrot? - for a songfest. (It is not known what they sang, though .we can rule out "Chapel of Love," as The Dixie Cups had not yet been invented.) When the party elided, they couldn 't push the piano back up the bank, so they left it, and when the ice melted, the piano sank, LeonardoDiCaprio-like, into the dark water of Willis Pond. Or so the legend goes; nobody is really sure. But a while back, a Sudbury resident named Kevin Kennedy had an idea: What if the piano reall y WA S in the pond? What if 1! was found, brought bac k up and restored? Ma)( be that would end the "Curse of the Bambino" - the legendary hex that has prevented the Red Sox from winning the World Series since the team's moron owner sold Ruth to the Yankees in 1919! At first, this idea sounds ridiculous. . Bui if you really think about it, you , begin to realize that it makes no tsense , whatsoever. Nevertheless, the piano recovery is now a serious effort, spon- ' sored by a fine (and serious) org!lJliza- · tion called Restoration Project, .which helps mentally ill adults. (For more · about the organization, and the piano· . effort, check the Interne at · restora- : tionproject.org.) I spoke with Chris Hugo, a marine · biologist and diver involved in the piano search. I asked him whether it . was scary, P.lunging into the murky . depths of Willis Pond, knowing that a · piano could be lurking anywhere. He . told me that, aside from snapping turtles, the worst thing is that the pond depths are quite shallow, so divers run the risk of leaping dramatically into the water, in full diving gear, only to stand up, with the water coming to maybe : their waists. Hugo also told me that serious underwater experts, using sophi s.ticated equipment, have scanned the pond for . the piano, and found some possible locations. He said divers would be ~oing back down soon, while the water : ts cold and the turtles are sleeping. 'I · asked him, frankly, what he thought the· chances were of finding the piano. He told me, frankly, that he doesn't think there IS a piano down there. But he's going to look for it anyway. Because that's the kind of project this is. · I know · I speak for all Americans, except Yankees fans, when I say to these brave divers: Good luck. And Godspeed. And, above all, if you fi nd any accordions, just leave them, OK? (Da ve Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald.

He was flying for the Air Force when NASA chose him in 1994 as one of only a handful of black astronauts. He traveled to Russia's Mir space station in 1998. The lieutenant colonel, who lived in Spokane, Wash., was in charge of Columbia's dozens of science experiments. "I take the risk because I think what we're doing is really important. If you look at this research flight and if you really take an opportunity to look at each experiment ... the potential yield that we· have is really tremendous," he said. He added: "For me, it's the fact that what I'm doing can have great consequences and great benefits for everyone, for mankind. n sages and we did not copy your last.

On her only other spaceflight, in 1997, she made mistakes that sent science satellite tumbling out of control. Other astronauts had to go on spacewalk to capture it. NASA later acknowledged that the instructions to the crew may not have been clear.

He joined the Navy after a medical internship, then went on to fly the A-.6E Intruder and F18. He became an astronaut in 1996. Columbia's mission was his fiCSt spaceflight. When asked in a recent interview about the risk of flying in space, Brown, who was single, said: ''I made a decision that is part of my job, I would incur some real risk as a routine part of my job when I joined the Navy and started flying ... aiiplanes off of ships, particularly aiiplanes off of ships at night.

The accident revived memories of the shuttle Challenger's fatal explosion on Jan . 28, 1986. "You st~ to relive that," Sallee said. "This is the first time they have suffered the loss of life on reentry." With terror attacks fresh in memories and war with Iraq looming, Sallee agreed the tragedy adds to current national anxiety.

The stance exposes a potentially sig nificant difference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Showing little patience for Iraqi leader Saddam Hu ssei n or for allies trying to slow his pace toward war, Bush told reporters Friday : "A ny attempt to drag thi s process out for months will be resisted by the United States." Although the leaders are largely in agreement on most Iraq issues, the news conference after their twohour White House meeting Friday revealed disagreements over diplomatic tactics and the extent of Saddam's threat. Bush , for example, accused Iraq of being linked to Osama bin Laden' s al-Qaida network and said ,those ties "portend a danger for America and for Great Britain, anybody who loves freedom." Blair did not make the link between Iraq and al- Four U.N. weapons _inspectors walk by an Iraqi soldier as they leave the U.N. headquarters to start their daily investigations in Baghdad, Iraq Friday. Facing the growing prospect a U.S.-Ied invasion, Iraq invited the two chief U.N. weapons inspectors to return to. Baghdad for a fresh round of talks on Iraqi disarmament amid diminishing hopes for a diplomatic solution to the crisis . (AP) Baghda_ d says Blix, EIBaradei returning for crucial talks BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) The chief U.N. weapons inspectors will return to Baghdad on Feb. 8 for lastminute talks before their next Security Council report on the hunt for banned weapons in Iraq , Iraqi and U.N. officials said Saturday. Arms monitors Hans Blix and Mohamed EIBaradei are seeking concessions to speed their investigators' day-to-day work - in particular removing obstacles to U.N. reconnaissance flights and to private interviews with Iraqi scientists. They prefer to see such issues resolved even before their visit next Saturday, said EIBaradei 's spokeswoman in Vienna, Austria, Melissa Fleming. Iraq's U.N. ambassador, Mohamed ai-Douri, said in New York the two sides would be "discussing all the outstanding issues, including interviews with Iraqi scientists." But neither al-Douri nor Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Az1z in Baghdad, who also reported the planned talks, srud anything about new proposals to end those deadlocks. A pivotal report by Blix to the Security Council last Monday criticized the Iraqis as not ha'ving cooperated fully by volunteering more information - in the first two months of arms inspections. The inspectors' next report, on Feb. 14. could swing the diplomatic balance toward or away from military action against Iraq, the "last resort" threatened by the United States and Britain. The Iraqis on Thursday invited Blix and E!Baradei back to Baghdad, just I0 days after they completed discussions here over practical problems in the inspections. The chief inspectors responded with a letter to the Iraqi government proposing talks Feb. 8-9, but also asking Witness from PageA1 Dallas-area suburb, when he saw it. Through binoculars, he said could clearly see debris coming off the main structure until it eventually disappeared on the horizon. "It was a very unusual feeling. Who would expect something like that to hit so . close to home," Rake said. In Grand Prairie, Texas, about 30 miles south of the Rake home, Rake's cousin · Lori Cantabene and her husband Tom were literally shaken by the morning 's event. "There was a really big boom . I didn't know what happened. The doors of' the house even shook. I thought something had hit the house," said Lori Cantabene. She is a daughter of Bill and Paula Peyton of Huntington. W.Va.. and granddaughter of Norma Cay to n of Gallipolis Ferry. W.Va ., form erl y · of Gallipo li, . She 'aid first report' were that the lnud noi 'e heard for what Fleming called "signals of progress" before the talks. Ewen Buchanan, spokesman for the U.N. inspectors in New York, said U.N. officials assume the Iraqis accept the purpose of the meeting as laid out in the letter. "If they do not, we would expect to hear from them soon," he said. EIBaradei, head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, had indicated Friday that the chief inspectors should meet with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein if they returned. But Aziz seemed to rule that out. · Blix's mission "could be dealt with the experts, who will talk to him about technical matters," the deputy prime minister told reporters. "And when he was on his last visit, he met the vice pre81dent and the foreign minister, and in my opintori that 'is ehougJ!." The disagreement over surveillance; 11,iPbts .irwolves a u.~ to~se -~erican u2 spy planes to fly over Iraq in support of inspections. The Iraqis say they would allow such flights as long as the United States and Britain halted air patrols over southem and northern Iraq while the spy planes were in the air. This way, they say, Iraqi anti-aircraft batteries would not mistake the reconnaissance aircraft for U.S. and British warplanes and fire on them. On the second issue, Iraqi scientists have uniformly rejected U.N. requests that they submit to private interviews about possible weapons programs, insisting that witnesses be present during the questioning, often Iraqi government officials. The inspectors believe the specialists will not be candid at interviews monitored by . representatives of Iraq's au• "oritarian government. Qaida, though he said terrorist networks in general are tied to the threat posed by weapons of mas s destruction. On the idea of a second resolution , · Bush said , "It 'd be welcome if it is yet another signal that we're intent upon disarming Saddam Huss~in ." He was notably less positive about the idea than Blair, who said it is important that the United Nations "comes together again" and passes a resolution. Administration officials said Blair is pushing much harder tha~r a resolution, and the president would like to accommodate his closest ally against Iraq. But the president said that last fall's U.N. resolution "gives us the authority to move without any second resolution." "This issue will come to a head in a matter of weeks , not months," he declared. Blair and Bush both have been buffeted by critics at home and abroad about their push tow!l'ft!' war.

The loss . keeps the Meigs "road jinx" alive as the Marauders continue to struggle away from Larry R Momison Gymnasium. The Marauders got out of the gate quickly behind the play of Ryan Hannan. Hannan scored eight of the first 10 Meigs points as the visiting Marauders jumped to a I 0- 4 advantage. Wellston rallied to take the lead at 13- 12 fueled by the offensive exploits of David Herman. Herman scored seven points in less than two minutes to give the Golden Rockets the lead. Ty Ault drove the baseline for a bucket in close to end the quarter as the Marauders held a 14-13 lead at the end of eight minutes of play. The second period could be summed up in a single word "boring". Meigs managed to score six points in the entire points and the Rockets only tallied four. Wellston hit just 2-of-15 shots in the period with the Marauders connectmg on 3-of-11 attempts. Ty Ault provided all six Marauder points in the period as Meigs took a 20-17 lead to the locker room at the half. Hannan opened the second half with a bucket to give t~e Marauders a five point lead, but Meigs would go cold from there missing their next eight shots . Wellston in the meantime was starting to find the range offensively. Brant Derrow and Josh Moon teamed up to give the Rockets a 2822 lead with 3:00 left in the third period. Back to back hoops by Brooks Johnson pulled the Marauders to within two at 28-26 before Jordan Lackey buried a three pointer followed by a Herman two point goal late in the quarter.

Local sports roundup Eagles avenge earlier ACSI .releases basketball 'oss to Southern tournament pairings Bv SCOTT WoLFE Sports correspondent TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio - Avenging a loss from earlier in the year at Southern, the Eastern Eagles came back with a vengeance to soundly defeat the Tornadoes 66-46 Friday night at Eastern High SchooL . Eastern's attack was led by a 30-point effort from junior Alex Simpson, ll,(ho became an impact player early in the game with 17 first half points. Eastern is now I 0-6 and Southern is 11-5. After the first quarter, Eastert,J dominated every facet of the game. They controlled the tempo, the transition game, rebounding, and · the defensive intensity. Southern slowly floundered amid a series of poor shot selection and very frigid shooting · percentages. Southern shot a mere 16-60 for the night for an icy 26 percent from the field. Eastern on the other hand went 23-53 for 44 percent from the field led by Simpson who was blistering hot with 11-14 from the field including three three-pointers. Simpson led the assault on the Tornadoes, but every Eagle played his role well. For twelve minutes Southern put up a fight, but the Tornadoes drifted into a tailspin from which they never recovered. The Tornadoes were shut down completely in the post. Cody Dill controlled the paint with six blocks and mtimidated Tornado penetration. Likewise, probably t~e most prominent aspect of the game was that the three Tornado post men were held scoreless for the game. That stat was very significant considering post man Jake Nease had been coming into his own with consecutive 14-point plus games. The Tornado bench in the post had averaged 8 points as well but Friday Dill controlled that ponion of the game in addition to grabbing a game-high 16 rebounds. Southern led early but Eastern came back with Simpson in the captains{ chair. Simpson piloted an effon that turned an 8-5 SHS lead into an 11-8 Eastern lead. Randolph answered a Simpson trey with a threepointer of his own for the tie. Two ties and five ·lead changes ensued in an exciting first quarter that Eastern no doubt dominated with a Simpson goal to end the frame, 20-18. The turning point in the game, most likely was a Cody Dill dunk that gave Eastern an 18-15 lead and brought the Eastern crowd back into the game . major league style. A series of three straight blocks on the defensive end was also a major factor as Southern slowly, perhaps subconsciously abandoned much of an attack at the basket via penetration. . Hill had nine points in th\: first frame for Southern, Randolph five and Curt Crouch six, however, Hill wa~ held to just two points the rest of the game.ln the Eastern first quarter Simpson had nine points, Jason Kimes five , and Dill four. '. Eastern licked up its tempo an guarded the Tornadoes hard around the perimeter, forcing SHS out of its game plan. Southern strayed from its offensive game plan and the Tornadoes could not get the shots to drop. Meanwhile, Simpson proceeded with his near perfect performance . Southern went six trips without a score in the latter half of the second canto. Simpson besides his offensive laurels was assigned to belly up with Southernis Randolph and took the SHS star away from his game, but Still Randolph, despite an off-night, scored 20 points, six of which came late in the last round. The game became physical much to Easternis liking, and the cards fell into place for an Eagle win. Eastern led 29-27 but Eagles from Page 81 Eagles . Now, it was Wahama's defense that was forcing turnovers and Eastern was the one committing the costly fouls. · Eastern put Wahama on the foul line eight times in th.e second quarter and Wahama made 6~ 8. With 2:05 remaining in the half, Wahama made an 8-0 run that cut the Eastern lead to seven at half time. An R.T. Roush two pointer with two seconds left on the clock silenced the Eastern fans and sent the Eagles into the locker room looking for a11swers. "We got back in it right at the end of the second quarter," said Toth. "I was J?l~ased with some ~uys off the bench, spec1f1cally R.T. Roush . ' Eastern responded to Wahama's challenge in Jhe third quarter in dominating fashion. The Eagles made a 17-0 run to start the quarter and never looked back. Grubb , Marshall, and Alex Simpson keyed the run that all b11t put away Wahama. outscored SHS 6-2 in the last two minutes to post a 35-29 halftime tally. Simpson had 17 at the half. Hill and Randolph each had nine for SHS. Southern's Connolly was held to just eight for the night, but he had a hustling effort and eleven rebounds to lead the team. Jason Kimes played a key role in the win, while Nathan Grubb, Nathan Cozart, Brent Buckley, Brandon Werry, and Robert Cross had key suppon roles for the Eagles. Southern missed its first two possessions of the second half and never came closer that the six point deficit at the half. Eastern, behind Simpson, Buckley, and Cozart stretched the lead to 41-3.1 and on to 45-32 with the frame ending at 52-40. In the final round, Eastern pulled the ball out to a perimeter game and made SHS chase the ball, strategically working time off the clock and watching chances of a victory come further into light. Eastern got several quick bucket.s out of the spread offense from Grubb and Cozart, wbi le Robert Cross added a goal from the block. Meanwhile, Randolph was the only Tornado to score the last round. The game ended without much fanfare in a 66-46 EHS victory. Southern grabbed a meager 21 rebounds (Connolly II); seven steals, ten turnovers, and five assists. Eastern grabbed 41 rebounds (Dill 16, Buckley 6, Simpson 6, Grubb 4); had five steals; 14 turnovers; and 12 assists (Cozart 5, Simpson 4).

Southern was led by Derek Teaford with six, and five each from Aaron Sellers, Jeremy Yeauger five , and Steve Sellers five. Eastern played host to Wahama Saturday. Southern . goes to Wahama Tuesday. The Eagles were making lay ups, three pointers, and shon jumpers. At the other end of the court they were blocking shots and totally frustrating the White Falcon offense. Cody Dill's slam-dunk in the fourth quarter made the gym go crazy as the Eastern fans cheered on the home team. By the time Wahama had recovered from the shock, the score was 59-29 and Eastern had put the game out of reach. Rickard continued to battle underneath for every point he could get but the Eagles were just too much. The Ea$1es proved the balance of their offense With fo11r players scoring in double figures. Rickard scored 14 points for Wahama, but the White Falcons just couldn't generate the offense needed to stay with the highflying Eagles.

Bv JoE KAv Associated Press CINCINNATI - The first two times he got the ball, Robert J~ckson found his mark and sent a message: Cincinnati is no longer the toughest team in Conference USA. . Jackson had 21 points , underscoring Marquette's front-line dominance, and the 18th-ranked Golden Eagles never trailed Saturday as they beat the seven-time conference champions 82-76 on their home floor. "Everybody is shooting for Cincinnati," said Dwayne Wade, who was limited to 16 points. "Cincinnati is the champion still. I'm not taking anything from them. But it's very tough to get a win on their home floor." Marquette(IS-3 , 7-1) made it look easy for most of the game, building a 22-point lead and holding on against a team that lost its heart and, probably, its chance at an eighth straight regular-season title . The Bearcats ( 13-5, 6-2) have lost consecutive games for the first time in two years, faltering behind a front line that has trouble rebounding and scoring. That wasn't the only glaring problem on Saturday. "I've been watching Cincinnati basketball since I was a kid," said Tony Bobbitt, who led a late comeback. "This isn't Cincinnati basketball. Basically, we quit. The whole game came down to rebounding, and they manhandled us."

(Dan Adkins) Matewan·pulls away late against Hannan . . BY DAN ADKINS Sports correspondent ASHTON, W.Va. -· A thirty-minute battle for control of the game and scoreboard ended disappointingly for the Hannan Lady Wildcats . Friday night as the visiting Matewan squad grabbed the lead with barely two minutes of play left and held on for a 44-38 win . Matewan 's Heather Davis hammered the backboard with 21 points, including five of nine from the line and three point goals in the first and third quarters. Amber Mohon added four deuces and three of six from the line for II points, while Megan Ferrell and Hanna May tossed in six points each for the visitors scorebook. For Hannan, Sarah Messer led in scoring w)th four shots from the field and four of six from the free throw line, while Christy M;~ye s was a few buckets behind her with four of eight from the line and an eight-point night. Kayla Loomis and Martina Axhall Ei)larrson added six points each, while Amber Adkins and Heather Miles tossed in four and two points, respectively. Loomis led the Lady 'Cats defensively with 12 rebounds while Mayes grabbed down ten, Messer four, and Einarrson three. ~ 'This game was just a matter of making the shots," said Hannan coach Carolyn Cooper. "We were successful tonight in controlling our turnovers and holding back on foul s. but our shooting just wasn,t where it should have been." !l y the end of four quarters of play, the Lady 'Cats had completed 14-of-60 shots frem the field (23 percent), and took only eight turnovers against the visitqrs. 'fhe campaign was a near deadlock in the b~k s during the first quarter of play; with Matewan, s Davis opening up the scoring as soon as the ball came into play, only to be returned by a deuce by Hannan's Mayes. Davi s went on to add two more buckets and her first three point shot of the evening while May hit one of two from the line en route to a ten point q1,1arter for Matewan. For Hannan, Messer tossed in a bucket and one of two from the line while Adkins hit her first goal of the evening and Loomis con· verted two from the line as the quarter ended with Hannan trailing by one, 10-9. Matewan, s Mohon made several trips to the charity stripe in the second stanza, converting three of six into gold as Ferrell and Davis combined for six more points from the field for a nine-point quarter. Messer, Miles and Loomis tossed in a bucket each while Mayes nailed one from the side of the key and converted two of two from the line as the Lady 'Cats closed the small gap and tied the game up at the half, 19-19. The combination of Mohon and Davis proved successful in the third set, with Mohon adding four points from the field and Davis her second three point goal and two from the line. Ferrell and May contributed one shot each from the field as Matewan added 13 points to the books. For the Lady 'Cats, Adkins, Loomis and Einaidon tossed in· a bucket each in.lhe third ' stanza while Mayes posted two of four from the line and Messer one bucket and one of two as the hosting squad slipped behind, 3230. The fourth quarter was what the game was all about, though, as control of the score· board inched along, each team adding two points every other trip down the court. But it was Matewan's aggressive charge inside the key that tipped the scale for the visitors as Davis and May found themselves at the free throw line for a total of nine shots, with the duo converting four of those shots successfully. Hannan's ·Messer and Mayes, however, visited the stripe for a total of only four shots in the final stanza, with Messer converting two of those into points. By the end of the fourth quarter, Messer charged the post for her final goal of the evening and Einarrson grabbed down two rebounds and put them back up for gold as the Lady 'Cats fought for points, but the aggressive trio of Davis, Mohon and May fought back just as hard , combining for eight points from the field and enough for the win. The Lady 'Cats (1-11) hit the road Tuesday en route for Huntington where they will sq,uare off against Grace Chri stian. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. · !

Max recalls a wonderful day, Page CS Community Corner, Page CS · Plenty of changes in the works for Reds Bv JoE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI - Brawny Adam Dunn batting leadoff. Closer Danny Graves throwing the first pitch. Third baseman Aaron Boone playing the other side of the infield. Faced with holes in the batting order, rotation and lineup, Cincinnati Reds manager Bob Boone is letting his mind run wild. Spring uaining will become his test tube. A lot of familiar names could be in awfully unfamiliar roles when the Reds open their first season in Great American Ball Park on March 31 . "Hopefully, we are going to complement that new stadium," Boone said. "We think we have the pieces in place." The problem is that Boone isn't sure how the pieces fit. When the Reds start their spring training schedule later this month, he won't be shy about trying new things. For instance, Dunn will bat ftrst, even though the 6-foot-6, 240-pound outfielder doesn't look or swing anything like a leadoff batter. Boone likes Dunn's .400 on-base percent~ge last season, second-best in the lineup, and plans to let him compete with shortstop Barry Larkin for the top srot. "He will be the biggest leadoff hllter of all time," Boone mused. "I've always felt that the position of leadotl" hitter has to do with on-base percentage and the ability to drive in a run that we've just bunted over. Because of our limited pool of candidates, it's going to be Barry Larkin or Adam Dunn." Dunn, 23, hit 26 homers last season, se· a franchise record with 170 strikeouts an~ was third in the NL with 128 walks. He also made a lot of bad decisions on the bases, often breaking too soon on a steal a~teinpt . He stole 19 bases and was caught nme llmes. Nonetheless, Boone is willing to let him try the top of the order. "We're going to see how it plays out," Boone said. Boone's decision to move his son to second base is J~ss surprising. A.aron Boone demonstrated last season that he could play shortstop as Larkin's till-in, and doesn't mind filling the position that opened up when Todd Walker was traded to Boston. Third base goes to Brandon Larson, who played in 23 games last season after his first promotion to the majors. Larson, a first-round draft pick in 1997, started working out at second base in the offseason after Walker was traded. Last month, the Reds told him he would get a chance to play third, his natural position, while Aaron Boone tried to leam second base. "It's just been a whirlwind offseason for me, a roller coaster," Larson said. "It's a testimony to the kind of person that Aaron is that he's willing to go over and try it. He's really helped the team out. If anybody can handle that change, I think it's him." To try to strengthen a rotation that will be the team's biggest question, Boone is turning his only proven closer into a starter. Graves matched his career high with 32 saves last season, his fourth straight with 27 or more. Unable to afford a top free agent pitcher 'lr to develop one tlirouj:h the fanm system, rhe Reds are trying to ptece together a rota' <On that will feature Graves, Jimmy Haynes, Ryan Dem[?ster and Paul Wilson. Graves started four games at the end of last season, the start of the closer-to-starter experiment that could backfire. "There is some risk in moving Danny Graves, and we understand that," Boone said. "1 think he has the capability of being an even better starter than he was a closer." Scott Williamsoti becomes the closer less than two full years after reconstructive elbow surgery. In his first season back, he we.nt 3-4 with a 2.92 ERA and eight saves, getting stronger as 2002 went along. "Over the last month or so. he was like nails as a closer," pitching coach Don Gullett said. 'That's one of the reasons we're converting Danny Graves to starter." ·Pirates may move Giles to center PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pittsburgh Pirates may have found the center fielder they've been looking for - and he won't cost them a penny. Brian Giles, (he Pirates' left fielder, said Friday he'd be happy to move .to center. "If we're going to go out and get somebody who can help us out and make us a better team, I'll move to center," Giles said. "Like I said, center field is my most comfortable position and left field is probably my least comfortable." Especially in PNC Park, where a huge gap in left-center field gives Giles more ground to cover in left than center. "Left field is bigger here than center field," Giles said. "It might be better for me to move to center." Manager Lloyd McClendon said he wouldn't mind switching Giles. "I'd just rather have one more quality bat," McClendon said. General manager Dave Littlefield was interested in free agent Jose Cruz Jr., who signed with San Francisco, and Kenny Lofton is still available as a free agent center fielder. "There are trades we 've been talking 6unbap uttmtte -&entinel ,Ae Page Cl Gallipo1is Hometown Dealer Sunday, February 2, 2003 CHEVROLET 740-446-3672 CHIVY Dakota 4X4 ' lQOO Chevy Cavalier ' ' 1997 Chevy Ext.

There just are very few quality center fielders." Center field was a problem for the Pirates throughout last season, during which they used six different starters. Neither Adrian Brown nor Chad Hermansen is still with the team. Rob Mackowiak got most of the starts late in the season but batted only .244 with 120 strikeouts and 16 home runs in 385 at bats. 4Dr. National Football League Newcomers get notice with first-time Pro Bowl selections BY GREll BEACHAM Associated Press KAPOLEI, Hawaii - After the AFC's Pro Bowlers posed for the big team picture and the smaller group shots with two Hawaiian dancers on Friday, LaDainian Tomlinson wanted another photo. "Let's get all the rookies," the San Diego Chargers running back said, referring to the dozen ftrst-time AFC all-stars enjoying their first trips to the Pro Bowl. But as Tomlinson gathered Chargers teammate Donnie Edwards, Buffalo running back Travis Henry, Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Poner and New England kicker Adam Vinatieri, he realized a problem. 'There's not enoujlh room to fit everybody," Tomlinson satd with a laugh. "OK, forget about it." Tomlinson won't need photographic proof to remember how much of the NFL' s best young talent will be on display Sunday at Aloha Stadium, where frrst-time Pro Bowlers make up nearly one-third of the rosters. In addition to the AFC's 12 rookies, there are 13 ftrst-timers on the NFC roster. From Miami running back Ricky Williams to Carolina defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, many of football 's brightest young stars got their first chance this week to spend time with their peers and enjoy the perks of NFL stardom. Even the absence of Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick, who dropped out last week with a foot i~j ury, hasn "t dimmed the imponance of this gathering. • "There's a lot of young guys here who arc going to coming back for many years to come," said Kansas City tight end Tony Gonzalez, who's in his fourth Pro Bowl. 'The first time you come here, it's an incredible motivation to keep working hard and striving to get hack here. It really fuels you. "If you can't win the Super Bowl. this is the reward for all of your hard work. It's a great fee ling to know you're one of the best, and these young guys are staning to appreciate that ... Most of the newcomers aren't new to the league: New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey is the only actual rookie at the game. ·But an inordinate number of players LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers steps off thjl field following the AFC practice for the Pro Bowl 'at the Ko Olina resort in Kapolei on Oahu in Hawaii Friday. The AFC meets the NFC in the Pro Bowl today. (AP) under 25 took important ro les on thei r teams this season- something that's partly the result of the salary cap's thinning of most teams' veteran depth. The numbers also were helped by several veterans who dropped out with mjuries: San Diego linebacker Junior Seau, Tampa Bay defensive tackle Warren Sapp, Minnesota receiver Randy Moss and St. Louis tackle Orlando Pace were among the absentees. Kansas City running back Priest Holmes also won't play, though he still made the trip to Hawaii and posed in uniform for the AFC team picture. Many of the young players who got big opportunities this season cashed them in by making the ·Pro BowI. For instance: Green Bay receiver Donald Driver, a former seventh-round pick who barely hung on with the Packers during his rookie season in 1999, took advantage of Antonio Freeman's offseason departure to become Brett Favre's favorite target, catching 70 passes for I ,064 yards. 'There's a lot of young guys with a lot of responsibility in this league now," said Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher, who's leading the AFC team. 'That's just the nature of our game now. Every year, more young guys emerge. As a coach, you have towelcome it, and you find young guys like the ones on these teams." Williams, the former Heisman Trophy winner who found his stride in Miami this season, isn't surprised by the number of fellow first-timers in Hawaii. He hadn't thought much about the Pro Bowl during his three seasons in New Orleans, but he realizes its importance now. "Sometimes in this league, it takes one or two years to get to where you want to be -three years, in my case," said Williams, who led the AFC with l ,853 yards rushing for the Dolphins. "This is my first time, but l always thought this would be the result of having team success. Once .we had some success, all of the other rewar~ started coming." It's a particularly strong year for firsttimers at running back and receiver. Tomlinson, Williams and Henry will be countered by New Orleans' Deuce McAllister and Minnesota's Michael Bennett, while Driver, Shockey and Chicago's Marty Booker will catch passes from the NFC quarterbacks. Then there's Cincinnati fullback Lorenzo Neal, who was rewarded for a career of near-anonymous hard work with his first Pro Bowl trip in 10 seasons. At 32, Neal is the fifth-oldest player on the AFC roster- and he's having just as much fun as hi s younger first-time teammates. "Better late than never," Neal said after a light practice at the lhilani resort. ''I'm feeling a little bit raggedy with so much going on this week, but you never know when you're going to get back, so I'm working hard while I'm here." --· - Loaded with Leather Interior - 1997 Ranger 4X4 V6, Alum.

The characters he creates, the dialogue they speak and the stories Leonard tells are cool in ways that a James Bond movie could never be. Leonard is about everyday, understated cool, and his story collection, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," pulses with it. In nine short stories, Leonard calls on unexpected protagonists - immigrant maids, retired bull riders, even denizens ·of a sleepy retirement community - to project the intelligent cool that is his trademark. Which is not to say that all the stories are great. However, all keep the reader's attention. The reason is simple: Leonard creates characters so charming, interesting and, yes, cool, that it's almost impossible to part from them once a story has been started. These characters are always one sentence away from doing the unexpected, as their usually cool demeanors allow them to mask their feelin¥s. Though Leonard s stories are, for the most part, dialogue-driven, much of the action is propelled by that which isn't stated - one person reading another's body language or saying one thing when another is meant. And his unflinching eye for details and sharp ear for dialogue allow his characters to be quickly developed and realized. In the story "Fire in the Hole," Ava describes shooting and killing her abusive husband and then having to deal with cleaning up the mess. "I cleaned it up good. Had to scrub the wall there with Lysol to get, you know, the stains off it. I think Lysol's the best cleaning product you can buy." . It's impossible not to be fascinated by a character who mixes cleanliness with murder (and product endorsement). While several of the stories - "Fire in the Hole," "Karen Makes Out," "Tenkiller" and the title story - are to some degree violent, the collection itself is not. Leonard seems more concerned with the tension that precedes an act, whether it's violent, sexual or social. There's something about a book in uniform In his latest book, Paul Fussell, who won a National Book Award in 1976 for 'The Great War and Modem Memory," admits right off the bat that he's always had a thing about uniforms. Fonunately, his fascination is infectious. "Uniforms" is a slim volume in which Fussell attempts .a . survey of 20thj]~Jl!!!r.Y .unifonns, from t!te .mllil8fy to the mundane; dts· covering that the uniform makes the man - no matter what the job. "The uniform, no matter how lowly, assures its audience that the wearer has a job, one likely not to be merely temporary and one extorting a degree of respect for being associated with a successful enterprise," he writes. ''The uniform attaches one to success." What's more, he concludes, uniforms bring us together, making us a J?art of something larger, more tmportant - and far less vulnerable. They are common armor for life's relentless battles. "Uniforms" is all about impressions - but is anything but superficial. From the uniforms of the Third Reich, Gen. Patton's elaborate setups. and the u.s. Navy's misgutded attempt to do away with traditional button trousers, to religious clothing, wedding dresses, postal workers' every -season wardrobe and the "delivery chic" of United Parcel Service personnel, Fussell suggests the whys and wherefores of uniform fashion. The almost obsessive while sometimes tiresome research is often hilarious. Take, for example, the rather brief survey of Italian sol- SMITH The Great 40l(k) Hoax: Why Your Family's Financial Security Is At Risk And What You Can Do About It by William Wolman and Anne Colasmosca (2002, Perseus Publishing, 245 pp.) 40 I (k)s have become the new status symbol of the American middle class. Yet, the middle class has been part of a swindle rivaling that of the Dutch Tulip Mania of 1673 and the South Sea Bubble of 1720 according to financial journalists William Wolman and Anne Colasmosca, the authors of the book "The Great 40 I (k) Hoax." (I know when I was search; ing for reporting positions about this time last year, many of the enticements publications womd offer in working for them would be a 40 I(k) plan. Aside from the fact that the value of 40 I (k)s have slipped to that of a IOI(b), I was of the opinion of Rod Tidwell, Cuba Gooding Jr's character in Jerry McGuire "Just show me the money!" But I digress.) So, what is the Great40l(k) hoax, and who is perpetuating it? According to Wolman and Colasmosca, it is the corporations in which most Americans have their 401 (k)s vested. Wolman and Colasmosca state unequivocally, "Its main lesson is that the American pension system has been designed throughout its history to serve the interests of corporations and other employers rather than those of the American family." Wolman and Colasmosca 's expand on this by saying that defined contribution plans (401(k)s) have been the out corporations were looking for in getting free from the straightjacket of traditional defined benefit plans (pensions). Wolman and Colasmosca say that corporations sold their employees a biU of goods that they could take advantage of the stock market boom of the 1990s by investing a portion of their salary into their company's 40 l(k) plan of which "some 30 percent of assets held in 1.5 million 40l(k) plans were in the stock of the company sponsoring the plan." Wolman and Colasmosca say this "represents an implicit promise to middle-class Americans that they can live off the income they receive from stock ownership, just like the rich do. It is a promise that is impossible to fulftll: It is the w.eat 401 (k) hoax." Whtle Wolman and Colasmosca offer a wealth of data in backing up their claim of the hoax it is best summedup in the book's introduction. They say "(a]t the height of its hold on the American imagination, the average 401(k) was puny as compared to the long-term financial needs of the American family. The average 40l(k) account shrank to $49,024 in 2000, down from $55,502 in 1999, according to the Employment Benefit Research Institute." Wolman and Colasmosca say that the more realistic figure of what Americans participating in a 401 (k) plan have squirreled away for retirement is the median figure (half above and half below) which was roughly $14,000 by the end of 2000. Likewise, Wolman and Colasmosca say "[a)djusted for inflation, .the amount of money that the average American family had set aside for retirement dtd not increase in the 15 years between 1983 and 1998, despite the stock market boom and the sur.posed benefits of the 40l(k).' Wolman and Colamosca hit a homerun in saying "(m]ost 40 l (k)s seek to encourage employees to copy the investment strategies followed by the wealthy. What is ignored is that the wealthy usually have less reason to worry about losing money in stock market investments because their very wealth obviously . gives them a greater cushion against the losses incurred in a sustained market decline." I have to chuckle at most people, particularly men because of their egos, who go around beating their chests about their "investments" yet living a hand-to-mouth high-class existence. Wolman and Colamosca devote a large portion of the book to parallels between the 1920s anWthe 1990s in Wall Street sounding the drum beat of how people should invest in "new technologies" of the day that are responsible for creation of the "new economy." In sum, Wolman and Colasmosca say that due to the high level of investment in the stock market the "1990s are not the opposite of the 1920s: they are its mirror image." While Wolman and Colasmosca get it right in exposin~ the ho!l", they ~et it wrong 10 offenng solutions. While they are fundamentally correct in saying people need to "drown out the noise from Wall Street," their "Stillwater Investment" plan is merely advice any good financial planner would give which is diversification. They suggest "an FOR-style New Deal for the nation's pension system" modeling it after Soc.i;ll Security and Medicare whi<!h they laughingly say "have proved to be a reliable source of income and health insurance for the vast majority of Americans." (If that's the case then why are so many senior citizens working at Wai-Mart?) Nevertheless, fundamental pension reform is needed and American families do need to take control of their financial futures. which is the thesis qf "The Great 401(k) Hoax." I wouldn't mind seeing a Congressional hearing or two on the matter for the purpose of putting some pressure on corporations to account how they are dealing with th~ir employees' retirement plans. Likewise, some good solid reporting on the "saints and sinners" of which corporations offer "unrestricted choice among altemativ.e investments" - which is the premise of Wolman and Colasmosca's Stillwater Investment plan - in their 40 I (k)s is certainly in order.. However, the decision for someone to take control of his or her financial future lies with the individual. The ubiquity of information people have to make those decisions is no good if they choose to ignore it. Of course, just like accepting or rejecting a hoax, its someone's decision to make.

He has a brilliant mind and I don't know of any other person that knows more about animals than him. He has called me many times to see if I wanted to go on a-world trip with him. Do you think I will say I can't make it? No way. I ask him, what time do you want me to meet you at the airport and we are on our way. There is nothing like a good friend to travel with and that is Jack. I have a few books, "Max's Adventurous Travels Around the World," left for sale that I printed with 324 pages for $15.

Movie posters reflect evolution in society CLEVELAND (AP) - As race relations progressed over the past 80 years, Hollywood followed suit. "America has a history of coming to terms with race. The film industry is ·no different," said Linda Mehr, director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills, Calif. "It's a reflection of what progress we have made and what progress we haven't made." The evolution is reflected in a traveling exhibit of ftlm posters, ''Close Up in Black: African American Film Posters," thlltlis maldng its debut at the Western Reserve Historical Society through April6. The library loaned 90 posters that range from 1920s and '30s films that advertised "an all-colored cast" to attract black audiences, to modern Hollywood blockbusters, such as 1997's "Men in Black" starring Will Smith, that appeal to moviegoers of all races. As society changed, black actors evolved from playing bit roles into being featured stars, such as Halle Berry and Denzel Washington, who made movie history last year at the Academy Awards as the first black actors to win hoth lead-role honors. "The posters reflect the changing role of African-Americans in the film industry, which in turn reflect the changes in social and civil life," said Suzanne Buchanan, chief curator of Western Reserve Historical Society. The museum is the first of 10 locations where the exhibit will be shown in the next 2 1/2 years. It was created by the Smithsonian Institution as part of its Traveling Exhibition Service.

Magazine on 'Southern matters' relaunches with new vigor, locale LITILE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The fiTSt edition of the relaunched Oxford American is on newsstands with a previously unpublished essay by James Agee about his experiences with racism. The Pulitzer Prize winner's "America, Look at Your Shame!" was discovered among his poetry manuscripts and was inspired by a 1943 race riot outside a Detroit amusement park .. Agee, a novelist, poet, screenwriter, critic and joUilU\list, died in 1955. 'Billed as ''The Southern Magazine of Good Writing," the Oxford American almost folded last year. It was taken over by At Home Media Group Inc., publishers of an interior decorating magazine. The new owners moved the publication from Oxford, Miss., to its new home in Little Rock. · Now, with the Agee essay and a travel story about motel life from novelist Charles Portis, who wrote the novel that inspired the John Wayne movie ''True Grit," the winter 2003 edition is trying to increase its circulation. After a year's hiatus, landing Portis' story was a coup, editor Marc Smirnoff said. "I've been trying to get him in the magazine since our founding in 1992," said Smirnoff, who wants to increase subscribers from 32,000 to 100,000. "He's always written back ... rejection letters."

"A lot of these, the col· lege kids have confessed to doing it, but some of them are so damn complex. How do you do that in four hours of darkness? "Who's going to all this trouble, and why?" Like many writers though, Keel isn't really satisfied with Hollywood treatments of paranormal themes. "The movie about crop circles (M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs") made a lot of.money, and that was a lot of hokum," he said. "It was about the invading Martians and stuff. If they would have stuck with crop circles, they could have made an interesting movie ." Part of the di~appointing commercial performance of Smirnoff said the only change he made to Portis' copy was to capitalize the "R" in the last name of Lash LaRue, a cowboy star from the 1940s. "That was the extent of our contribution," Smirnoff said. · Besides Portis and Agee, there are articles by Joy Williams and William Bowers, and fiction by Wells Tower in the latest issue, which sells for $4.95. Contributors to earlier editions included William F. Buckley Jr., Donna Tartt and Barry Hannah. ''This magazine is not just about literary writing," said Smirnoff, who calls it a general interest publication. ''Only by mistake do I call the Oxford American a literary magazine." · Writers are given a set of guidelines to target Oxford American readers. At the bottom of the list is the following caution: "We do not publish pornography, society gossip, or poems about cats."• A northern California native, Smirnoff ended up in Oxford in 1985, after his car broke down during a cross-country trip. So he took a job at a local bookstore and settled into . a new Southern life: "I saw that people were buying up Southern literature," Smirnoff said. ''Then I noticed there wasn't a magazine about the South on newsstands." "The Mothman Prophesies" was due to the fact that it . didn't present a typical Hollywood treatment of the topic according to Keel. "The Mothman movie was not too successful because it didn •t follow the formula of science fiction movies," said Keel. "You didn't have monsters jumping out of .the woods. It was just the way it really hap: ·pened was just the hint of .a monster." ••• While Keel may have investigated the existence of UFOs and monsters, his skills as a prophet might need some honing. "Somehow in the back of my mind, I always thought that one day I would end up the editor of a small-town I newspaper in my retirement years ," said Keel, "but they are all disappearing, as you know. A lot of them have simply 'gone out of business; there are many small towns that don't have a newspaper." Keel still does a lot of periodical work, albeit along more mainstream lines for magazines like Maxim. "It's less dramatic than a lot of the stuff," he said. Keel started in newspaper when he wrote a letter to the editor in 1942 when he was 12. "I really fell in love with the newspaper business. I originally expected to end up on ·a newspaper for my entire life." ••• Keel is still intrigued by and still searching for the answer about the origin of those mysterious red eyes. · "These red eyes are seen all over the world, two red globes really," said Keel. "Then, the people's minds construct a figure to go with the red eyes, whether it's a dragon or whatever. And they usually get scared to death . · "I want to know what those red eyes are."

Gallia Co. Health Dept. It seems that everywhere you look, someone is trying to put down children's vaccinations. 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 i~ usually diagnosed after 12 months of age. In 1998, Mr. Wakefield publis.hed 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 many children are diagnosed with autism, it 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 disease. Mr. Wakefield also found measles virus in the subject's intestinal tract. 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. Waketield 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. Su~h an increase would have been expected if the MMR vaccine was causing autism. It has been reJ?Orted that data from Califorma have been · used to show an increase in cases of autism since the introduction of MMR ·vaccine. However, ttie 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 Jiopulation. Also, children with autism are currently being .diagnosed at earlier ages and therefore win show an increase in the number of reported cases. Studies are now being examined by using . the "home movie studies." Home movies from children who were eventually diagnosed with autism and those who were not diagnosed with autism were shown to specialists in the autistic field . These specialists were able to separate autistic from non-autistic children at or before the age of one. These studies found that some small symptoms of autism are pre- Inside: WASHINGTON (AP) 'It's one of the biggest frustrations in treating multiple sclerosis: Someone with debilitating symptoms can · have an MRI scan of the brain that, inexplicably, shows only a tiny spot of damage. A Duke University scien· tist calls that spot .the tip of the iceberg, discovering that MS patients actually can have 2 112 times more damage there than the regular MRI detected - plus more hidden abnormalities lurking elsewhere. A new scan that adds just lO minutes to a standard MRI uncovered the trouble, tracking damage bui !ding deep in the. brain by measuring how water flows through nerve fibers. Testing of the new scans is " ome in early stages, but the goveminent-invented technology could lead to earlier diag-_ nosis and better treatment of MS - as well as improvements in other brain diseases from schizophrenia to cancerous tumors. In fact, Duke physicians consider the new scans so useful that the North Carolina hospital is believed the first to give this "tensor diffusion imaging" to every person prescribed a standard brain MRl regardless of the; reason - resulting in a unique library of normal and abnormal brain anatomy. Water may look still in a cup, but under a microscope . its molecules move constantly, bumping into each other and then bouncing away.

Water enmeshed in the celery stalk-like tracts that are the brain 's nerve li bers diffuses not just outwardly but also in the direction in which those tiny tubes run. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health invented a way to measure the direction and speed ·of that dilfusian , with software that modified regular MRl machines. So if something blocks part of a nerve fiber, the new "tensor diffusion imaging" detects the resulting water changes, signaling damage.

It was donated by Ann Rupe, great-granddaughter of the original owner Robert J. Hiland who carne to Pomeroy in 1822, and her two daughters, Laura · Starcher of Dexter and Linda Faulk of Chester.

For a time her two daughers, Cassie Michelle Lee and Cayla Suezann Lee, used the antique furniture in their bedroom. But as the girls grew, they wanted modern furniture, so the heirloo111 furniture was put in storage, "a piece here and there," said Rupe. "My hope was always that one of the grandchil- · dren would have a home that an old-style bedroom suite like this one would fi.t into - that it would be used in the 21st Century by a family member," she said.

High levels of bilirubin in the blood and tissue cause this yellowish coloring. Bilirubin is formed by the breakdown of hemo~lobin in red blood cells. Bilirubin is broken down by the liver and excreted through the intestines. Sometimes the liver of the newborn is unable to breakdown the high levels of bilirubin, and this results in jaundice.

These studies show that autistic children showed signs of..liutism before receiving the MM R vaccine. Current scientific evidence does not support the thought that MMR vaccine, or any combination of vaccines, causes autism. This has been extensively reviewed by independent groups of experts in the U.S. including the National Academy of Sciences. Groups of experts, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Family Physicians, Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the CDC, and the Ohio Department of Health_ (ODH) agree that the MMR vaccine is not responsible for autism. MMR vaccine protects children against dangerous, even deadly, diseases. The lirst dose of vaccine is usually given to children 12-15 months of age and the second dose is usually given between 4 and 6 years old.

And if that tub is nestled next to a window or an array of glass, as garden tubs are, that makes the experience all that more enjoyable. Garden tubs offer natural light (or moonlight) in abundance. Tucked into a windowed corner, they're basked in light. Since the most common tub shapes are oval or an elongated rectangle, a corner placement frees up much space. The bather can be surrounded by plants, extra towels, candles, bathing salts and oils, a loofah sponge - you name it. Extra storage space is created beneath the tub, too, even after, say, the mechanical elements for a whirlpool are installed. Homeowners ' needn't worry about prying eyes, either.

(AP) - Humans believe groundhogs emerge from their dens in early February -to look for their shadow :a predictor of spring. : But the event is more jikely the start of a winter : courtship, and a prelude to · March mating, a Penn State University researcher says. "During the regular part :of the year, the males and ·females pretty much stay :apart. They're anti-social and, in fact, if they do come across each other they' re . sort of aggressive," said Starn Zervanos, an associ:ate professor of biology at :Penn State's campus in Reading. "I think that part of their routine in this part of the year is .. . to see which females are available and where they are." Observers have long known the early February emergence of groundhogs and other marmots isn't the end of their hibernation, which comes, the following month. · Nevertheless, modern Groundhog Day celebration s evolved from a German superstition that if such an animal sees its shadow Feb. 2 the Christian holiday of Candlemas - then a long winter is in store. "What's happening, I'm pretty confident, is that they're getting together, getting ready for mating that's going to come later," Zervanos said. During the last four years, Zervanos observed some 30 groundhogs that live on a university-owned farm near Penn State's Berks-Lehigh Valley College. Most went into hibernation in early November, then emerged · for the first tirrie in early February. Males tended to explore their territory, often visiting the dens of area females, while females tended to stay near the opening of their dens. After visiting a female , the male might visit another female or return to his den for further hibernation. That, alone, makes for an interesting finding, said Theresa M. Lee, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Michigan. She said it's not uncommon for males of similar species to visit the dens of females, but that the females would remain inside. "In other species, the females don't come above ground, .so there's no interaction," said Lee, who has studied hibernation and other biological rhythms in rodents. "That's quite unique. I have never read that of any other female ground squirrels." That might be because groundhogs are somewhat anti-social, Zervanos said. Most other marmots and ground squirrels are more friendly and might not require such a courtship before mating. Although a male might stay with a female for as long as two days, Zervanos said it appears they do not mate during this period. Groundhogs typically give birth in April after a 30-day ges\ation period , so it's unlikely that mating takes place before early March , when the animals . emerge for good from hibernation . It's also not clear whether groundhogs actually mate with the Sai!Je partners they visit during February, · or whether they choose other partners. But Zervanos said it's likely the winter courtship does lead to mating in the spring. "The male is territorial and he pretty well keeps other males out of his area," Zervanos said.

Bold rai sed corner quoins atcent the fine regulanty of the brick veneer, and these two materials are again inte· grated in the graceful keystone arch that crowns a set of multiplaned windows. Rectimgular shutters offset the crisp lines of lap siding on one side, and the airy gnd of ijlultiplanei:l windows on the other. One column, simple and sta.tely, supports the roof of a covered porch that could be home to an old-fashioned I>Orch swing, or other comfortable outdoor furniture . l':ntering , you step into' a vaulted entry that leads di- a fulcrum. Prying the trim out will be easier using this technique. : Ne)(t, remove the upper window in the same w'ay as the lower window was 'taken out. Place thei upper w'indow away from the work area. Remove the four weight chamber covers; these are usually held in place with screws. If painted, they might require some tweaking. To loosen the paint connection between a screw and the surroundin_g area, insert a screwdriver mto the slot and tap lightly with a hammer. This wtll accomplish three things : I. It will clean the screw slot. 2. It will break the paint seal. 3. It will slightly loosen the bond between the screw and the wood that it is imbedded in, making the removal of the screw easier. · With the covers removed, replace the ropes, making sure the new ropes match the old ones in length. Put every- ' thing back together in reverse order. One last note: This is a good time to make sure that the weather-stripping is up to snuff.

Those conditions forced its automatic pilot to quickly change course. The combination of these events suggests that thermal tiles may have been damaged during launch by a loose piece of foam insulation from the shuttle's external fuel tank. The shuttle's exterior is covered with thousands of tiles designed to protect it from the extreme heat of re-entry. Despite the possible clues, shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore stressed Sunday that the information was only preliminary. "We've got some more detective work," Dittemore said. "But we're making progress inch by inch." NASA Administrator Sean 0 ; Keefe also stressed that other theories couldn't be ruled out yet. The foam "is one item of many, many pieces of evidence we're collecting in an effort to try to detennine the cause of this accident," 0 ' Keefe saW Monday on CBS' "The Early Show." "We're not ruling anything out and that is not a favored theory at this point." The families of Columbia's crew members said Monday they want their loved ones' legacy to continue. "Although we grieve deeply, as do the families of Apollo I and Challenger before us, the bold exploration of space must go on. Once the root cause of this tragedy is found and cor- reeled, the legacy of Columbia must carry on for the benefit of our children and yours," they said in a statement read by Evelyn Husband, wife of shuttle Cmdr. Rick Husband, on NBC's "Today."

(J. Miles Layton) Veteran Southern High School teacher looks forward to retirement BY J. Mus LAYTON Stall writer RACINE - Southern High School teacher Mick Winebrenner wHI" be retiring at the end of the school year after more than 35 years of teaching history. "I have really ·enjoyed teaching," said the man who plans to play a lot of golf and spend more time with his two grandchildren when the final school bell rings later this year. Winebrenner said many things have changed since he began his career in edu· cation. "Teaching has · not <;hanged as much as people think it has. But the state has changed things in the last couple of years, like student testing and licen • sure for teachers." In the past several years, students have begun taking a barrage of proficiency tests. State report cards detailing a school district's progress also have been instituted. Teachers now require certification from the state in order to teach. "I still enjoy teaching, but if I was to start over again right now, I doh' t know if I would do it over," he said referring to the burdies new teachers must jump through to become certified. Students also have changed over the years,' he said. "I think they lack the responsibility they had at one time. I don't think they have the work ethic they used to have, either. I see that creeping in ." The history teacher reflected on earlier days when students of rural high schools like the old Pomeroy High School that he attended, had a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. Still, Winebrenner believes that Southern High School still produces top notch graduates. "The majori~ of our students are good, ' he said.

She spent all but the last three years of her life in the same three-room log cabin where the couple had resided. Her government widow's pension of $70 a month was subsidized with assistance from the Sons of Union Veterans. Both the local Brooks-Grant Camp and the Major .Daniel McCook Circle Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, contributed to an annual amoupt sent to her. Upon being notified of her death, l(eith Ashley of Pomeroy, chairman of the National Fraternal Relations for the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, relayed the message across the nation to Civil War organizations. He along with Gerald Cmwford of Letart Falls, quickly made plans· to attend the funeml and graveside services in Union uniform.
