His wife was a dear friend of mine who was killed several years ago. Vern and I are trymg to get our personal business in order ahead of time, so there will be no ill feelings among our adult c hildren . When I die, I will be buried next to my first husband, and Vern with his late wife. My question is, how should my name appear on the headstone, considering the fact that I plan to become "Mrs. Vernon Jones" when we marry? My son is upset that I'd give uP. the "Smith" family name. I don t want to create friction between my son and my new husband. but I do plan to take Vern's last name and am s~sed at my son's strenuous objeCtion. How should this be handled, Abby? "MRS. SMITH" IN MARIETTA, GA. DEAR "MRS. SMITH'': The name on your headstone should probably read "Jane Smith Jones" to avoid confusion. Although it is upsetting to your son that you have chosen to adopt your new husband's last name, he will have to adapt to reality. One lesson Dear Abby ADVICE I have learned over the years: You cannot solve every problem - particularly if the problem isn' t yours to begin with. DEAR ABBY: For the past eight months, I've been involved with a wonderful, kind-hearted man who showers me with affection and says he loves me. I'll call him Hank. Hank likes the idea of kids and family and is very familyoriented, as am I. My main concern is he has trouble keeping a job. His pattern has been that he finds a job but only works for a short time, then something always happens, and he either gets ftred or laid off. We had started planning our wedding, but my family .doesn't like him, and that- on top of his job situation - has put a lot of stress on me. I finally told Hank that I won't m:trry him until he proves he can support himself and a family. Is Itpossible that some men are simply not cut out to work outside the home? Maybe he's the "Mr. Mom" type. What should I do, Abby? BRIDE-TO-BE (OR NOT) IN DAYTON, OHIO DEAR BRIDE-TO-BE (OR NO.D : Yes, some men are better suited to be the. "house spouse," and some women are better suited to life in the business world. However, this does not seem to apply to you. Continue to put this union on hold unless you know you will be content as the primary bread winner of your family. DEAR ABBY: For the past year and a half, I've been dating a 41-year-old man named "Gino." I spend every weekend at his place. My problem is I am still living out of a suitcase. Gino hasn't offered me a place to keep my things, and I'm tired of taking clothes and personal items back and forth. It feels like I'm homeless. Gino also won't answer the phone or check his messages when I'm there. When I mention it, he accuses me of being suspicious and too sensitive. Should I continue with him or pack it in? I should add that we have lots of fun, and he's .told me he loves me. TIRED OF LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE, WEST ORANGE,NJ. Saturday, February 8, 2003 · DEAR TIRED: If you want a seven-day relationship or a permanent place in this man's life, "pack it in." Gino appears happy with things just as they are, and as much as he loves you on the weekends, he loves his freedom more.

"It's nice to have everyone here," said Medley, who pointed to framed photos he owned of himself with J;lClOple he said helped him smce his move to Gallia County in 1987. . ..

"Bill came here to teach at the University of Rio Grande and he' s kind of mifated into the community.' Medley continued working on the municipal bench until Friday. Following his departure from that court, case work will be handled by several judges assigned by the Ohio Supreme Court. These include Steve Story from Meigs County, Donald Capper of Lawrence County and Lorene Johnston from Jackson County, in addition to former Meigs County Court Judge Patrick O'Brien, who has worked as a magistrate in the municipal court's alternative dis pute resolution program. Gallia's Republican executive and central committees have submitted two names to Gob. Bob Taft for consideration as Medley's replacement, local attorneys Margaret Evans and William Dean Conley.

The Ohio Department of Transportation approved the Gallia County Engineer 's Office's request to reduce the limit on Mitchell by 10 mph in response to safety concerns from homeowners alonll the road. Mitchell, County Road 8, is between Ohio Route 588 and Jackson Pike and is a popular shortcut for drivers looking to access Spring Valley or the Centenary area. The speed limit on county and township roads, unl~ss otherwise posted, is 55 mph. The engineer's office. did a traffic study and concluded the speed limit should be lowered to 45. It then turned its finding s over to ODOT, which has the final say in such questions. A traffic count conducted by Seth Montgomery, an n e e r ·s staff., revealed the average daily traffic count on Barnes Mitchell is 2,655 vehicles. "Unless you do a speed study like this, the P,rima facie speed limit is 55, ' said Assistant Engineer Craig Barnes. "But as you know, on some of our county roads, it's impossible to do 55." The new posting on Mitchell became effective last Monday, when new signs were put up by highway department staff. ODOT's letter approving the speed reduction will be submitted to the county c·ommissioners for a journal Please see RCNid, AS Annual Heart Fa ,.

Plans are moving forward on the design for the monument as work continues on the new field house, accordin~ to Superintendent William Buckley. He said the stone will be black granite with an etching, perhaps in color, to symbolize the concept of remembering those who left school not through graduation or retirement, but untimely death. The list of students and staff will go back to 1966 when the district was organized. Matt Kinnard, the Meigs High School art teacher, has been asked to submit designs from which a selection can be made.

Sentencing, probation revocation on the Mason court docket BY LAWRENCE J. SMITH Staft writer POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - Arraignments were not the only action taking place in Mason County Circuit Court as two status hearings, a sentencing and probation revocation were on the docket Frida~. Judge David W. Nibert s first order of business was to hear :the status of Ihe case involving :Robert David Darst,49, of Point Pleasant who was indict· .ed in September 2001 on one charge felony offense of wanton endangerment. Darst's attorney, Kevin .Hughart, moved to have the 'Charge dismissed alleging mul:tiple prosecution after Darst entered a plea last October in Magistrate cburt in a misdemeanor offense for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person . Darst was under a domestic violence restraining order when he allegedly committed the offense. Mason County Prosecutor Damon Morgan said that Darst waived his right to have the .cases joined when he entered his plea agreement. Nibert set the trial on the wanton endangerment charge for May 20. The other status hearing involved Harvey E. Wamsley, 52. of Hepderson in his sentence for third offense DUI. A warrant had been issued for Wamsley's arrest after he supposedly failed to report m Beckley for court-ordered :rehabilitation. Morgan said the paperwork showing Wamsley s trj nsfer "fell though the cracks."'Nibert ·credi ted the time Wamsley served in rehabilitation toward completion of his sentence. . He is current on home confinement and under indictment on one charge of our third of subsequent offense. Nibert ordered Michael Shane Edwards, 22, of Point Pleasant into the custody of the state department of corrections when Edwards violated the terms of his probation. Edwards admitted to the violation in December 2002 when he failed to report regularly to his probation officer, make court-ordered restitution and classes and submit to a drug and the Cardiopulmonary Units at the Hospital.

NATIONAL VIEW Good will Johnson move is good, but how about lowering drug prices? • The Times Herald-Record, Middletown, N.Y., on HIV and pharmaceutical companies: Magic Johnson can still bring it. Retired for several years, the basketball legend has now become, literally, the p.oster boy for living a healthy life even though HIV-positive. In what GlaxoSmithKiine frankly admits is a marketing strategy aimed at securing a larger share of a market it already dominates, the pharmaceutical giant is using Johnson to spread the word among urban blacks on HIV and AIDS. Because, to be blunt, that's where the business is. Traditionally, this community has not been trusting of the health care system, which is where Johnson comes in. A figure of tremendous trust and respect, he can reach many blacks in the 24-44 age group for whom AIDS is the leading cause of death. He can educate them on how to avoid HIV infection as well as how to live a healthy life even though infected: "A positive attitude, partnership with my doctor and taking my medicine every day," as his ad says. The drug "cocktail" that keeps Johnson and thousands of other HIV patients healthy is expensive. Treatment can cost many thousands of dollars a year. Medicaid and private insurance plans cover treatment, but are always sensitive to cost issues and prefer generic drugs. Drug companies have resisted appeals for lower prices and oppose the use of generics. · But frankly, since we' re talking about the worst killer the planet has known in recent decades, we'd be more impressed if GlaxoSmithKline and other drug companies, who are also living a healthy life through pharmaceuticals, also lowered the prices on their magic drugs and made them more accessible to people everywhere. Call it a corporate gesture of good will to fellow huinan beings. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Feb. 9, the 40th day of 2003. There are 325 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 9, 1943, the World War II battle of Guadalcanal in the southwest Pacific ended with an American victory over Japanese forces . On this date: In 1773, the ninth president of the United States, William Henry Harrison, was born in Charles City County, Va. In 1825, the Hou se of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams president after no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. In 1870, the U.S. Weather Bureau was established. In 1933, the Oxford Union Societ~ at Oxford University endorsed, 275-153 , a motion stating 'that this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country," a stand widely denounced by Britons. ln 1971 , the "Apollo 14" spacecraft returned to Earth after man 's third landing on the moon . ln 1983. in a dramatic reversal from 50 years earlier (see above), the Oxford Union Society at Oxford U11iversity rejected, 4 16-187, a motion "that th1s House would not fight for Queen and Country." In 1984. Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov died at age 69, less than 15 months after succeeding Leonid Brezhnev; he was succeeded by Konstantin U. Chernenko. ln 200 I, a O~avy submarine collided with a Japanese fishing boat off the Hawaiian coast, killing nine men and boys aboard the boat. Ten years ago: NBC News announced it had settled a defam ation lawsuit brought by General Motors over the network's " inappropriate demonstration" of a fiery pickup truck crash on its "Dateline NBC" program. Five years ago: The Pentagon said it was sending up to 3,000 U.S. ground troops to the Persian Gulf region to discourage what one official called "any creative thinking" by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. At the Nagano Games, German Georg Hackl won the men's luge for the third consecutive Olympics. One year ago: Britain's Princess Margaret, the high-spirited and unconventional sister of Queen Elizabeth II, d1ed in London at age 71 . At the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Jochem Uytdehaage of the Netherlands won the gold medal in the men's 5,000-meter speedskating race in world record time of 6: 14.66. Oakland's Rich Gannon led the AFC to a 38-30 ·victory over the NFC in the Pro Bowl. Today's Birthdays: Actress Kathryn Grayson is 81. Televisio n journali st Roger Mudd is 75 .

It was called ''The Attack on America." Was it an attack on America or the United States? Did they attack the people iii the Amawn jungle, the Indians in Peru, or the people living up near Hudson Bay? I was taught a long time ago that America encompasses both the south and north continents. Is our beloved Stars and Stripes the American flag or the U.S. fl~? · Are all Americans U.S. Citizens? No. Are all U.S. citizens Americans? No. Native-born Hawaiians are U.S. citizens, but are really Pacific Islanders. Our President, in his State of the Union speech, mentioned the United States, our country, our people, and like titles about 25 times. However, he said "America" or "Americans" at least 55 times. Are we to assume that his promises such as health care, prescription drugs, etc., are to be extended to all Americans? I don't think so. Our use and command of the English language is atrocious. We add a suffix to a noun and try to make a verb from it. We mvent new words. We wouldn't know a malapropism if we met one on the street. We hear people called "bigots" when they should be called sexists, racists or prejudiced. We use minutes to express distance: "I live 30 minutes from my work." An acre is a measure of area, not distance. There is a difference between three square miles and three miles square. Not all earth-movmg equipment sh.ould be called bulldozers. You can't cut steel with a "blow torch." A shotgun is not a .4 I0 gauge, it is a .410 caliber. Some have asked me what difference all this makes. Is there something wrong about bemg right? And that, my friends, is the (long) bottom !me.

At the time, the Underground Railroad was unknown as an actual network, but individuals in the Ohio River Valley were known to assist runaway slaves. Staying in Ohio, Carr and Smith aided runaway slaves to get through the state to Canada. Carr had become notorious for his work so much that he prompted slave owners in Virginia (now West Virginia) to hire private investigators to find out who was getting the "newly freed" slaves to Canada. Carr and Smith did their work only on the Ohio side. The "investigators" came from Virginia to Ohio and kidnapped Smith after he returned from guiding the eight to Canada. Smith was taken to the Point Pleasant jail. Hardesty 's History of Meigs County says, "This great violation of the law and encroachment upon one of the most sacred rights of a citizen of Ohio, showed such contempt of the State's jurisdiction that it excited universal indignation, and open violence was threatened to release Smith from his illegal confinement." A vigilante committee was formed with a relay system set up near the Colonel lone's Landing (Middleport Landing) all the wayto Rutland. It was so effective using horns, warning could be sent in 15 minutes. Smith was detained about six weeks in the Point Pleasant jail. John S. Giles Sr. had visited Smith under the guise of giving him clothing, informed him to be ready for a jail break. Smith was in danger in the jail as it was reported death threats had been made against him. Martin Meeker, William Hatch, John Woods, David Tyler, Obadiah Ralph, William Terry, Charles Giles and John S. Giles Sr. planned to "rescue" Smith. These men met at 8 p.m. on the banks of the Ohio in November 1824 at the mouth of the Silver Run. Sneaking out so even the "women folk" would not know they were gone, the men were "armed to the teeth" for the . impending assault. Giles Sr. was in charge of the group. They blackened their faces and boarded a boat. Using muffled oars they made their way to Point Pleasant, traveling · about II miles. The Point Pleasant jail at the time, was a two-story building with two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs . Outside stairs led . upstairs and had a guard stand on it. The guards had been doubled in anticipation of potential trouble from Smith's friends . This brought the number of guards to five, including the jailer. Smith was in a downstairs room. The room next to his was normally for debtors, but in lieu of circumstances had been set up to accommodate the guards. Servants resided upstairs. At the time of the assault on the jail, these were no guards at the tower and caught the guards asleep. The guards awoke and man.aged to shut the door on the muzzles of Meeker and Tyler. This kept those guards occ upied in the room . Hatch, Terry and Giles proceeded into the jail. One man broke the door down and the other leveled their guns on the jailer. The jailer had been awake and was reaching for several loaded muzz.les next to his bed, but thought otherwise given the three muzzles now pointing WASHINGTON (AP) at him. The State Department The locks and bars of the advised nonessential U.S. jail were then removed with diplomats and family meman ax. Smith was taken out bers on Friday to leave of this bed ;md outside: At Israel. Jordan, Syria and this point no one had been Lebanon .. Private U.S. citizens also were advised to hurt.

Threats were made of Iynching some of the conspirators, but the Virginians found the Ohioians too agitated and organized to attempt it. The governor of Virginia appealed to the governor of Ohio for assistance. Authority was given to arrest Woods, Giles and Heirs. Col. Lewis was appointed to serve the warrants.

Giles informed the men that the Virginians were under the authority of the governor of Ohio. Giles, Woods and Heirs were taken to the Point Pleasant jail and held for two months. Giles and Heirs were found not guilty, but Woods was found guilty. He was ordered to pay a $30 fine, but refused. He stayed in jail instead until he was eventually just thrown out. Summers of Judge Charleston presided over the trial. Judge Clough of Portsmouth and Judge Fisher of Point Pleasant represented the defendants. There was np · evidence against Heirs and Giles as they had alibis. In Woods' case, it was only a misdemeanor. Virginia legislature changed laws at their next session based on this case. · This account was based on an account related by John S. Giles Jr. at a meeting of the Meigs County Pioneer Society Aug. 9, 1879, and was also published in the May 25 1881 edition of the Mei'gs County Telegraph.

ATLANTA (AP) - The first round of the .NBA play··" offs will switch from .best-of1 5 to best-of-7 this season under a tentative deal between the players' union and the league, The Associated Press learned Saturday. The union and a handful of owners reached the agreement in talks during All-Star weekend. The sides also agreed to meet this summer to begin discussing an extension of the collective bargaining agreement that will expire after the 2003-04 or 2004-05 season. The switch to a best-of-7 format was expected to be announced Saturday night at commissioner David Stern's annual All-Star news conference. A source within the league with knowledge of the agreement, speaking on con<!ition of anonymity, outlined the terms of the deal to the AP: • The playoff pool,- to be divided among players on teams that qualify .for the postseason, will rise by $750,000 to $8.75 million this season. It will go to $8.875 million in 2003-04 and $9 million in 2004-05. • Veterans with at least four years of experience will not be required to report for the fmt three days of training camp neKt season, and the first five days of training camp in the two subsequent seasons. • Teams will be prohibited from holding two-a-day practices after the lOth day of training camp. Previous talks between the league and the union failed to produce an agreement on expanding the first round of the playoffs, which have been best-of-5 since 1984. ~!)_ Please see Southern. BJ Eagles declaw· Falcons BV DAN ADKINS Sports correspondent ASHTON, W.Va. Beatin~ Buffalo a second time this season on the basketball court was more tban just another win for ·the Hannan Friday night as the hosting Wildcats shut down the visitors, _ aggressive man-to-man defense and earned a bye in the upcom- · in,g sectional tournament With a 55-40 win. The Class A, Section 2, Regipn IV tournament is scheduled to kick off on March 3 at Point Pleasant Middle School with Wahama White Falcons taking on Buffalo (3-13) in a 7:30 p.m. matchup. The winner of that game will take on Hannan the following night at 7:30 p.m. at the middle school. According ;ro Hannan coach Wayne Richardson, all Hannan (9-3) would have needed to earn that bye was a win over either Buffalo on Friday night or Wahama on February 21. Earlier in the season, the Wildcats took Buffalo into double overtime before leaving the Putnam County gymnasium with a 74-68 defeat. "I gotta give Buffalo some credit," said Richardson, "they played a hard game. They never hardly came out of a manto-man and they put a lot of pressure on Greg (Collins). They took a boy that's real lanky and quick and put him on Greg and Greg wanted to meet that challenge and do things he didn't have to do. This is the first game that Greg has ran into something like that." ''I'm very pleased with the guys tonight. It was just another very unorthodox game," said Richardson. "We just can't seem to get a flow. There's stretches we have flows, but I still don't think we're playing good ball all the time," The Wildcats catapulted two players into double digits, with Timo Krause working his way through four quarters with nine deuces while adding three of four from the line.

(Dan Adkins) BY SCOTT WOLlE Sports correspondent HEMLOCK, Ohio Picking apart the infamous Miller l-3-1, . the Eastern Eagles remained in contention for the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking DivisiOn title by defeating the host Falcons 7139 Friday night in Dunlap gymnasium. Eastern is now 12-6 overall, and 5-3 in the conference. Eastern's success was a~ain a result of balanced sconng. Nathan Cozart, the talented point man, led the way with 18 points followed by a \3-point effort from Jason Kimes. Cody Dill added twelve . points, Nathan Grubb eight, Robert Cross eight_ Brandon )Verry four, Alex Simpson four, and two each from Chris Carroll and Brent Buckley. Miller was led by Jeremy Paige with 17, Noah Gamble ten, Curt Mauro eight, Luke Kennedy three, and Matt Starner one. Eastern started strong and finished strong leaving no doubt early as to who would · be the victor.' Two ways to break a 1-3-1 are to hit the outside shot, then open up the low post. Eastern . attacked both successfully the fU'St period with Cozart knocking down two three-pointers 1\Dd Nathan Grubb another. Next came along Cody Dill, the high leaping EHS postman, who found the open seam in the zone and rolled in for eight first quarter points and a resulting 17 -II EHS lead. Cozart had a quality floor game with five assists and si~ steals that ignited an EHS fast break. Jason Kimes also had a nice floor game. Eastern's defensive belt tightened in the second frame, Eastern nailing the frrst score a Grubb driver for a 19-11 tally. Miller trimmed the lead to 1914 on a Mauro trey, but Eastern went on an 11-0 run to take a comfortable 30-14 advantage. The closest Miller came after that was at 33-19. Robert Cross nailed down some inside scores, while Jason Kimes, Grubb, Cozart, Simpson and Dill each addec:J two more apiece to fire tbe EHS lead at the half to 35-19.

BY JIM SoULSBY Sports correspondent McARTHUR, Ohio - Though Willie "can't wait to get on the road again", the Maraudsr Rondballers may not share his enthusiam as they dropped their eighth road contest to the Vinton County VIkings, 68-51 on Friday. As of Friday, Meigs has just one victory in away play, that coming against Wahama. It was, for the most part, a fast-paced game and in all fairness to the Maroon and Gold. they were still in the fray until late in the tina! quarter. The Marauders owned the first eight minutes after fallng behind by four at the opening whistle. Jon Bobb posted eleven of his game high twenty two as teammates Brooks Johnson and Doug Dill added four and two respectively. Keith Johnson, Josh Ousley, Ryan Kent and Chris Bethel Eagles Southern from Page ~1 as well the second half, by holding them to 31 before giving up some points at the foul line in the last couple minutes of the game." "Again this win was huge. It was even more significant because we lost our point guard and the other players had to step it up a notch," said Rees. "I thought Justin Connolly and Craig Randolph assumed great leadership roies and adjusted well to playing without Jordan (Hill). The other players just seemed to follow their roles and make the plays we needed to pull this one off. It is always hard to come into Trimble and go home with victory." Southern fell behind early, then lost Hill early into the game. Trailing 12-9 going into the second quarter, Southern got a big · bucket by Randolph and a Crouch lay-in off a Randolph pass to take the lead. Forced into the pomt guard role, Randolph Sunday, February 9, 2003 Pome..Oy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant took command and played like a veteran. Connolly and Wes Burrows hit key shots to bolster Southernfs lead, but the big focus of Southemfs success was its defense, which held THS to just 4 second period points. Jake Nease djd a great job m playmg post defense, with complimentary efforts from Josh Smith and Jamie Coleman. A Curtis Neigler three pointer gave SHS a pad that led to a 26--16 Tornado lead at the half. Trimble made a third quarter run, but late buckets fueled by Crouch and Connolly steals resulted in several scores that brought the Tornadoes lead back to ten points at 41·31. That set the stage for the fmale with SHS winning 63-56. Southern hit 1946 overall with 3·11 threels, 16-35 twofs, and 22-34 at the line. The Tornadoes had · 23 rebounds (Connolly six); nine assists (Randolph 6); six steals (Randolph 3); 16 turnovers and 19 fouls.

Blue Jackets could lose top scorers in free agency· COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Faced with losing his top three scorers to free agency, Blue Jackets general manager Doug MacLean said he's focused on re·signing the players, not dealing them before the league's trade deadline. Left wings Geoff Sanderson and Ray Whitney, the team's captain, are in the final seasons of their contracts and can become unrestricted free agents this summer. Center Andrew Cassels has two option years remaining on his deal. Five more points scored and the veteran - not the B1 ue Jackets - will get to chose whether to exer· cise those option years. "Obviousfy, the No. I priority is to try to get all three of them signed," said MacLean, also the Blue Jackets president and interim coach. "And that's all I m focusing on." Losing Sanderson, Whitney and Cassels could be devastating for the improving Blue Jackets. Whitney leads Columbus with 51 points on 14 goals and 37 assists. Cassels has 45 points (14 goals, 31 assists) and Sanderson has 22 goals and 21 assists for 43 points. All could bring prospects in a trade, but MacLean would rather try to make progress on new contracts than be forced to make deals before the March II deadline. "The only way I'd pass the deadline is if I'm confident we were going to work togeth- er to get something done and that (both) sides had come to that consensus - which I suspect is the case (with all three)," MacLean said. Labor strife could limit the length of the contracts and how much Whitney ($2.4 mil· lion), Cassels ($2.5 million) and Sanderson ($2.1 million) make. in their next deals. Whitney, an All-Star selection this season, is optimistic a deal can be worked out despite the threat of a work stoppage in 2004. "Generally, I'd say it has gone well. It has· n't been too confrontational ," he said. After signing with Columbus in the offsea· son to be closer to his children in Toronto, Cassels said his family will play a big role in what he does this summer. "I'm enjoying it here," he said. ··r like <he direction of the team. The time will come when I'll make a decision ; I'm leaning toward Columbus." Sanderson's agent has discussed a new contract with the Blue Jackets, and the two sides plan to negotiate in earnest later this month when assistant general mana~er Jim Clark returns from a European scoutmg trip. · "I want to get it done. I look forward to being here with the Blue Jackets," Sanderson said. "There's a lot of uncertainty in unrestricted free agency - more so now than ever before, with all the (labor) stuff looming in the future." · Jackets charging premium ticket prices for some games COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets are charging $10 extra per seat for games that are projected sellouts and $5 more for Saturday games. Season tickets are not affected. Team officials said )Jefore the start of this season that they would not have a variable pricing policy for 2002·03. But some ticket prices were increased this week for next Saturday's game against Chicago. Prices also are going up for games March 3 and April 4 against Stanley Cup champion Detroit. Single-game tickets for coming Salurday games against Edmonton, Calgary, Minnesota and Atlanta cost $5 more than they did a week ago. "We are following suit with every other sports team and doing a test," said Michael Humes, the team's senior vice president for business operations. Humes said the increase affects a limited number of tickets that were held and latet released. · Through January, the Blue Jackets averaged 17,699 fans per game this season llth·highest in the 30-team NUL. Thirteen of their 27 home games have sold out Nationwide Arena, which has a capacity of 18,136.

We need to show them respect." . . . . Never mind that Martm IS only 21, whtch means he was born about the same time Silas' basketball career was ending. Whether it's respect or just a love of garish colors, fans nationwide are gobbling up the oldstyle jerseys, a fashion ttend that gamed even more attention when high school star LeBron James was briefly suspended for accept . ing two free shirtslrom that genre worth $845. Last year, baseball teams went retro for a week. That sparked interest in s)ICh unifonns as the Houston Astros' 'get-up frOm the 1970s and '80s, the ugly ones with the orange-tinted color bar. lik But no sport has taken to the good ol' days .e asketball.

"I love it," said 26--year-old Roy Frazier of Chicago, who already was wearing a New York Knicks jersey (Walt Frazier, No. 10) when he bought a Maravich shirt (cost: $2S0) at the NBA's interactive fan exhibit. "Everybody's wearing 'em. They're what's happening." Some of the retro buffs couldn't care less about the history on their shoulders: They just want to look old school - or keep up with their friends. " I had a kid looking at a Boston Celtics jersey and he asked me, 'Wl'to's this ~uy?' It witS Larry Bird's jersey: I kind of felt old,' said 31·year-old Art Bowser, assistant manager of the Mitchell & Ness store in Philadelphia, which has been at the forefront of the retro movement. lsinh Thomas, coach of the Eastern Conference AII·Stars for Sunday's game, had a ~ simple explanation for the old jerseys' new apr,:aJ. 'It goes back to the first principle of fashion," he said. "What's old is new." Dominique Wilkins, whose No. 21 Hawks jer· sey is one of the more popular retro shirts, wonders if all these whippersnappers are longing for an era when names like Bird, Magic. Dr. J and Kareem dominated the sport. ''The young kids kl\ow we used to get it done," Wilkins said. "And I think it's a great thing to keep the older guys in the public eye and show their appreciation." Companies that make the retro attire quickly realized they had a slam dunk - even though the high-end basketball jerseys from Mitchell & Ness (with authentic slltching and fabrics) are accompanied by hefty price tags, ranging from $200-$400. . Even in a sour economy, the Philadelphia coml?any's revenues skyrocketed from $2.8 million m 2000 to $23 million a year ago, Bowser said. Matt Bourne of the NBA Store in New York said sales of the Hardwood Classics Collection have increased by 300 percent in the past year, making it one of the fastest·growing revenue sb'eams in the business. This fashion ttend apparently began when entertainers and athletes started wearing the clothing at high·profile events. Young people began clamoring to look as out-of-style as possible - which meant, of cow:se, they were m. "It's mainly in the hip-hop community," said fonner NBA player-tumed-broadcaster John Salley, who donned a retro Detroit Pistons warmup jacket as he worked the All-Star inter· view room.

With the days counting down to the season-opening Daytona 500 on Feb. 16, no less than a dozen drivers ~ve high hopes o~ snatching NASCAR's most prestigiOus stock car title from reigning champion Tony Stewart. From !fie J.>feseason talk, it seems that just about every driver m the series considers himself a top-10 contender. · "I guess every~ is saying the same thing riibt now: 'We can wm a race and finish in the ton 10:'" four-time cl1ampion Jeff Gordon said. "Heck,.i"m s~ they believ~ it. \yith !he way this thing is shaping up, the competitiOn 1s gomg to be even closer than it was last year." In 36 races last year, 18 'l:lrivers won at least once including five first-time winners. No positions in th~ top 10 in the points standings were decided until the fulal race. The tiibt competition likely will be enhanced by NASC.~R·s adoption of some basic templates that must fit alllllllkis of cars entered in its top stock car series. That means the cars will be more alike than ever before. Last season was a rollercoaster for Stewart, who fought back from a blown engine on the second lap of the Daytona 500 and overcame off-track problems with his temper to win the championship. His final margin over four-time series runner-up Mark Martin was only 38 points. Stew&!t is hoping 2003 will be a ''very uneventful, unemotional year." "I just want to defend my championship, win more than the three races we won last year, and have some fun.'' Stewart said. Despite all that draina, perl1aps the biggest story of 2002 was the continuing saga of the ''young guns," a gang oftwentysomething sharpshooters. Stewart started the trend in 1999 at age 28, winning an unprecedented three races and finishillg fourth in the points. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matt Kenseth also became winners and immediate stars in 2000, as did Kevin Harvick in 2001. Last season, it was Ryan Newman and Jimmie Johnson who raised the bar as rookies. Newman, 24, won once, finished in the top 10 in 22 of 36 races, and was fourth in points as he took Rookie of the Year bon- BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press BY JENNA fRYER Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - He seems relaxed and refre shed, perhaps even at peace. The only immediate sign that it's still the same Tony Stewart is the . three-day growth of beard and wrinkled T-shirt. Otherwise, Stewart has wiped the slate clean from his tortuous and triumphant Winston Cup championship season and is looking to make hi s title defense as smooth a ride as possible. " I' ve eliminated all the brain tumors -over the offseason , so I' m 'tumor-free' right now," Stewart said. "I've put everything behind me." The "brain tumors" are Stewart 's description of the on-track anguish and offtrack anxiety of last year. Some of it was s'elf-inflicted: He punched a photographer and sought anger management training afterward. There were many other conflicts with fans and the media. Some of it wasn't his doing: His engine blew on the second lap of the seasonopening Daytona 500 and he had to overcome five other DNFs in becoming the first driver to climb from worst to first in the standings. And when he found himself on the verge of his first Winston Cup title, he had to w(lhstand . unprecedented scrutiny as doubters wondered if he was fit to represent NASCAR. . Le ss than three months later, he simply shrugs at his past while acknowledging he.' II have his share of bumps in :the future. But he won 't dwell on it. He's back in Daytona, looking to win his thirdstr.aight Budweiser Shootout orr Saturday night and make this year strictly about racing. '.'I'm still going to make mistakes. There is not one of us in the garage area that doesn't," he said. "But what's really important? For some reason I've thought about that a lot lately, and I could worry myself to death, or to an ulcer, about what is going to happen. "So you get to a point where you ask yourself, 'When is that going to end? When are people finally going to let it go?' I don 't know and I don' t worry about it." There are some who believe it's the same old song from Stewart, who starts every year promising it will be:a stress-free season. Thi s time, however, those closest to him can sense a real change. "Tony seems very focused," car owner Joe Gibbs said. "I visited with him during the offseason and he was totally relaxed, had a good sen se of humor and seemed a lot less irritated than in the past. Winning the championship has been very good for him." · Others say Stewart doesn't deserve all the criticism, that he should be left alone to be who he is and not held to standards set by past NASCAR champions. "He deserved to win the championship because of what he did on the race track, and off the race track he certainly keeps us -entertained," said four-time series champion Jeff Gordon. "We hear all the time about not giving ' politically correct' answers and letting your personality come out. ... Sometimes, that gets him in trouble. "But if that's him and it's his personality, he needs to stick with it." Even if Stewart has put his demons behind him, there will still be struggles to deal with. Gibbs has switched him from a Pontiac to a Chevrolet this season, so he ' II have to adjust to a new car. And as champion, his responsibilities as NASCAR's ambassador will be greater than any scheduling demands he wrestled with in his first four seasons on the circuit. Stewart knows that and is appl~ing several of last year s hard-learned lessons to help meet his obligations. He's a,lready said he won't . compete in the International Race of Champions, and his dream of winning the Indianapolis 500 has been put on hold. Those two omissions will trim time constraints from his schedule, and he'll continue to chip away at his packed calendar. As he closed in on his title last season, Gibbs restricted the amount of non-NASCAR events Stewart competed in. Allowed to resume his extracurricular activities this season, Stewart will continue to hopscotch around the country, com~eting in smaller events in hts free time. But he'll try to do a better job of balancing it with his sponsor obligations and heavy appearance schedule so as not to wear himself out. "I ran myself in the ground last year," he said. "So I've cut back on some of the extra races, I'm cutting back on some of my appearances and trying to streamline my schedule a little bit more to where it gives me some time to get away and hit a reset button a little more often." That should finally allow him to be happy, an emotion he admitted he rarely felt last season. It hounded him as he was asked often if a championship would finally bring some joy to his life. "I wi II be happiest when everybody ~uits asking me if I'm happy,' he said with his trademark smirk. No matter what, some things will never change with Stewart.

McMurray and 24year-old Casey Mears will join Marlin as full-time teammates this season. · The M&M boys are expected to battle for top rookie honors, along with Greg Biffie, 33, another Roush driver and the reigning Bu~h Series champion. Any look ahead at the new season would be less than complete without mentioning how Roush Racing became a juggernaut in 2002 and could be even better this season. Martin had a great year, earning his fourth runner-up finish, and young teammates Kenseth and Kurt Busch established themselves as likely title contenders this year. · The 24-year-old Busch won three of the last five races and vaulted from 12th to third in the standings in the last eight weeks. 'The biggest key is we had everything rolling in our direction," Busch said "Last year exceeded our expectations just because of the dismal rookie year I had (in 2001).' 'There's no reason, though, that we can't start the season just like we ended last year. All the pieces are still thei'e." Kenseth, 30,led evel')'one with five wins in 2002 and finished a career-best etghth in the points. Some of the veterans, of course, can't be counted out Gordon, 31, faded at the end of the season after worltinj_his way into contention for a fifth title in 10 years. Martin, fanner champions Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett, along with Ric).(y Rudd, who all are over 40, finished in the top 10 an(! figure to remain in the hunt for several years to come. "I don't know about those other guys, but I'm not ~ving those guys anything," said 46-_y~-old Wallace.

RIR signed a five-year contract extension with NASCAR in July, exactly one year after the company picked the stock car series as the one program it can bankroll under the 1998 tobacco settlement. But a weak economy has forced RJR to reevaluate its commitment since signing the contract extension. "Since that time, our business dynamics have changed dramatically,'' said Ned Leary, president of RJR's Sports Marketing Enterprises division. "In our ongoing conversations with NASCAR, we have discussed the potential of their exploring a new series sponsor at s.ome time in the future." RIR 's possible withdrawal from the series was first reported Tuesday by ESPN.com. NASCAR vice president George Pyne said the sanctioning body enjoys its 32-year relationship with the tobacco company, but is now looking at future opportunities with other companies. ''Through the years we've had one of the best partnerships in sports," Pyne said. "But through their changmg dynamics, they've told us that if there is an option that would be in the best of our industry, we should take that into consideration." . Pyne said he fully expect~d RJR to fulfill 1ts five-year contract extensiOn. NASCAR's drivers, teams and partners have all shared in an estimated $100 million in purse, bonus and point fund money since becoming the Winston Cup Series in 1971. The brand has become synonymous with NASCAR since , the two companies part- I each of the preceding 16 seasons. The biggest c' ;ver change this year is Rudd switching rides with • I : ear-old Elliott Sadler. Rudd joins the Wood Brothen., while Sadler goes to Robert Yates Racing as Jarrett's teammate. "It's a great c oortunity for me," Sadler said. 'This team is a prover winner with great cars and engines, and I can't wait tt get started." Unlike other years, there is no clear-cut favorite heading into. Daytona, thanks to some major equipment changes that added another factor to the equation. Chevrolet and Pontiac are introducing new versions of their Monte Carlo and Grand Prix models, with Stewart and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Bobby Labonte switching from Pontiac to Chevy. Dodge, which had no drivers in the top 10 at the end of the year, is detennined to improve and has helped its effort by getting Newman and Wallace into its !meup. NASCAR has been criticized in recent years for its frequent aerodynamic rules changes to try to create panty on the track, but the latest effort may actually get the job done. All of the entries - Chevrolet, Ford, Pontiac or Dodge -must now fit 18 of 32 templates, meaning that !he general shape of most of the cars will be the same. 'There are many standardized areas of development now," said Doug Duchardt, NASCAR general manager for GM Racing. "But there's still a liuge difference -more than I expected- between mali.es.'' · Duchardt said the fabricators can still fmd an edge workin~ on the areas of the cars not dictated by the socalled ' common te~&lates." Those areas incl the front and rear fascias, the hood, the wheel openings, the sides of the car, excluding the doors, and the window trim lines, excluding the windshield. 'The brand characteristics will still be there. The fans will still be able to teU a Dodge from a Chevrolet or a Ford," said John Fernandez, new head of Dodge Pond, Pa.

The tobacco company was forced to pick one sport to sponsor .to comply with the Master Settlement Tobacco Agreement, which forced cigarette manufacturers to reduce their sponsorship to a single program in a 12-month period. So Winston ended its sponsorship of the National Hot Rod Association and professional golf. Last month, RJR announced it was ending its NASCAR's No Bull 5 Program for 2003 after a five- year run. The bonus program offered $1 million to a driver and a NASCAR fan in five selected events. RJR has continued to sponsor NASCAR's Winston West stock car series. Word of RJR 's possible split comes just a week after ConocoPhillips, owner of the 76 gasoline brand, said it was ending its halfcentury-long relationship with NASCAR. The familiar logo - an orange ball with the number "76" in blue at its center- has been a fixture at races as "the official fuel of NASCAR." But 76's Houston-based parent company said it was ending the sponsorship deal of more than 50 years by.Dec. 31. "Due to changing business strategies, we are unable to take full advantage of NASCAR's national and international marketing platform," Mark Harper, president of wholesale marketing for ConocoPhillips, said last week. Pyne said it shouldn't be hard for NASCAR to find more sponsors in the future . "We're coming off our best year in television, our best year in attendance, our best year in almost every area," Pyne said. "We offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to major companies that is equivalent of branding yourself with the NFL or major league baseball." for an appointment.

Marlin's words of wisdom about turning a lap at Talladega were so simple that the rookie never forgot them. Neither did Jamie McMurray, his other teammate, who already knew a little about Marlin's humor. "Casey went up to Sterling real serious and asked 'Sterling, what can you tell me about running on this track?"' McMurray remembered. "And Sterling said in his slow Southern accent, 'Well, I guess you run high one lap, low the next.' "That was it, that was all he said! And poor Casey thought he was ~oing to get some real advice from him. McMurray could barely contain his laughter at the memory, while Mears simply shrugged. As rookie teammates, Mears and McMurray couldn't be more different. McMurray, a 26-year-old from Joplin, Mo., is a wisecracking smartaleck who got his start in j!O-karts around the Midwest before JUmping through NASCAR's top three serjesfrom trucks to the Busch Series to Winston Cup in little more than three seasons. Mears is a laid-back 24-year-old Californian with a dry sense of humor and a rich racin~ heritage. His uncle, Rick, is a four-time Indianapolis SOO winner and his father, Roger, was an off-road racing star. With an openwheel backj!round, Mears has just one full season m stock cars under his belt. Together, the M&M Boys will try to help Marlin win his first Winston Cup championship. Individually, they'll be the first teammates in NASCAR history to race against each other for Rookie of the Year. . But Ganassi won't pit the two youngsters against each other. His entire organization is built on a one-team concept. For example, instead of each driver having his own hauler as most teams do, Ganassi has his three serving designated functions: One for all three drivers to lounge in, one for the ertgineers from all three teams to work out of, and one for sponsors and other guests. "It's not going to be Casey and Jamie against each other, that's just not how we do things around here," Ganassi said. "If Sterling wins the championship, everyone wins the championship because all three teams worked together for it. If one of them wins rookie of the f.ear, everyone wins rookie of the year. ' · Still, a certain level of competitiveness will run between the two of them simply based on their desire to succeed at the highest level. "I don't think either one of us will start each race saying 'I have to beat Jamie' or 'I have to beat Casey,"' Mears said. "We're not going to be out there racing only against each other every week, there's going to be 41 other guys in the field. "But at the same time, neither one of us is going to want to be the one who comes back to the truck after a bad run and watch the other one celebrate a . good run." Mears and McMurray certainly aren't alone in the rookie class - four other drivers, including Greg Biffle, the reigning Busch Series champion, will be competing for top newcomer. But the early attention will be on Mears and McMurray, NASCAR's newest two ''young guns" wh~;~ 'II be expected to continue the unbelievable recent run of rookie success.

"We've been named Alaskan Outfitter of the Year tJuee, times, mainly for our work on brown-bear hunts," he says. A sizable percentage of Morris' clients have ended up bagging animals that made the Boone and Crockett Club's book of big-game records. It's no coincidence that many of those clients have been from his native state. "Eight of the 60 hunters we had last year were rrom West Vtrginia," he says. 'That's not at all unusual . A majority of the West Virginians we've had have been very good hunters, and it's been a pleasure working with them." One of Morris' biggest thrills as a guide carne when his wife bagged the trophy of her lifetime. "I decided I wanted to hunt caribou," Karen says. "The first time I went, I had opportunities but didn't shoot. The second time, I got acaribou that made the record book." Karen's caribou, of the barren-ground subspecies, scored 402 3/8 Boone and Crockett points, well above the minimum 375 needed to be recognized by the organization, and just enough to make the club's book of all-time record animals. By next year, Roger plans to spend many more such moments with Karen, their children and their grandchildren. "I'm planning to spend this year guiding in Western Alaska, and I'll finish up next year in the Wrangell Mountains," Roger says. "After that, I'm retiring to spend time hunting and fishing with my family." That means that in June and July, the Morrises' camp on the famous Kenai River will play host to grandchildren ages 4 to 16. They'll fish for salmon and hunt the small game nearby. As summer turns to fall, they'll load into Roger's bush plane and head for the big-game country farther inland. ·" J get a great feeling out of helr,ing other r,;c'Pie fulfill their hunting dreams, ' he says. 'I've been doin~ it for 20 years. Now it's time to spend time w1th my family." And though they will always recognize West Vtrginia as their birthplace, the Morrises are proud to call Alaska their home. "We've been up there so long, we're Alaskans now," Karen says. "Our kids are settled and established there, and so are our grandchildren. For years, life was about the Air Force and work and the outfitting service. Now it's about family."

Officials at a western Ohio state park are so worried about snowmobilers driving on its frozen lake after drinking that they have collected donations to buy a Breathalyzer kit. Alcohol is suspected as a factor in three of the four snowmobile accidents this season at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park about 55 miles north of Dayton. Last year, there were no snowmobile accidents on the lake, which is ringed by bars and restaurants. "The problem is we haven't had any good ice for years. The ice got good, and all of a sudden we've got snowmobile traffic," Brian Miller, assistant park manager, said Friday. While the Ohio Department of Natural Resources reports no serious snowmobile accidents this year at state parks other than St. Marys, officials at other parks said they have similar concerns about drunken snowmobilers. St. Marys attracts snowmobilers because it i~ shallow and freezes quickly, and its large s1ze gt ves them plenty of room. Miller said one snowmobiler left a tavern next to the lake and got lost. "She hit a snowdrift, went airborne about 10 feet, and hit. a concrete seawall," Miller said. The woman was hospitalized for her injuries. Another person, unfamiliar with the area, was injured when he hit a seawall and was thrown from his snowmobile. "When you've consumed alcohol, your senses become dulled," Miller said. "That's why these people, I feel, ran into these seawalls. You need to be very alert." It .is illegal to consume alcohol on state property and to drive a snowmobile while mtoxicated. Miller said park officials asked the community for money for the portable Breatha! yzer kit after the accidents, and enough donations were collected this week to buy one. The kits cost up to $550. He said the Breathalyzer will enable park officials to check snowmobilers and boaters suspected of being intoxicated and determine whether to alert police. "That would be great to have," said Jim Miller, park officer at Portage Lakes State Park near Akron. "There are several bars along the shore. Some of the snowmobilers stop at those bars to drink. It has been a problem." Motto · High Tensl Barbed Wire Improved Design Calf Creep Feeders NEW FEATU•ES INCLUDE: pt. 5 ln.

Sunday, February 9, 2003 Outdoors West Virginia natives find a home in Alaska's outdoors CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)- Sometimes life takes unexpected turns. When newlyweds Roger and Karen Morris left West Virginia in the 1960s for a military base in Alaska, they had no idea they'd spend more than a couple of years in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The calendar has turned over 38 times since then, and the Morrises have retired from two careers - Roger's as an Air Force master sergeant and Karen's as a huuan resources director. Next year, Roger will retire from his second career as an Alaskan hunting guide and outfitter. "Our lives have been unreal," says Roger, in Charleston recently to promote his outfitting business at the West Vtrginia Hunting and Fishing Show. "God has blessed us better than we ever could have imagined." That's quite a turnabout for the young Beckley couple who felt a tugging at their hearts as the Mountain State's hills receded behind them. The catalysts for their change of heart turned out to be Alaska's spectacular scenery and even more spectacular hunting. "Coming from Southern West Viq~inia, the biggest things I'd ever killed were squrrrels and rabbits," Roger says. "I'd go to deer camp with my. folks, and if we were lucky we got one or two deer among 15 people. The first thing I did when I got to Alaska was to go hunting. I killed a mountain goat, then a nice Dall ram." Bigger game soon followed - moose, caribou, black bears, grizzl:y bears. Roger began spending any time that dtdn 't belong to the Air Force roaming the vast Alaska countryside and sampling its hunting. "It wasn't long before I was showing my friends where to hunt," he says. • At the same time, Karen began to develop an attachment to her wild sub-Arctic surroundin§S· 'I'll be honest," she says. "I went kicking and screaming to Alaska. When we rotated out after three years, I ran to get on the plane. But as soon as I was gone, I started missmg everythin I'd left." LN-e many Air Force couples, the Morrises figured they'd lead the semi-nomadic lifestyle that often accompanies a career enlistment. But fate intervened often enough that they managed to spend 16 1/2 years of Roger's 20-year hitch precisely where they wanted to be -Alaska. As his military retirement date neared, Roger decided to parlay his hunting expertise into a partnership in an outfitting business. He and two other men fonned AAA Alaskan Outfitters ~- --· ' ~·· ' MIDDLEPORT, Ohio - "Our house used to be the one people gathered itt, but now that I'm in sohool, it's 'not anymore, because I've let people know I have to srudy.'~ Everett Smith, a displaced Southern Ohio Coal Co. miner, shares a story with many collegt: students described as "non-traditional.'' Over 23 years of age, many with husbands, wives, children - even grandchildren - at home, non-traditional students are becoming more common on college campuses, but face a set of, obstacles· unimaginable to their younger counterparts. Juggling schooJwork, homework, career wock and farilily w~rk, the non-traditional stu· denf walks a fine line - a tightrope, in many cases - between the demands set forth by the college professor and the demands of family. Amanda Molden is ready to graduate wtth an associate's degree from Rio Grande Community College. For Molden, who falls into the younger definition of a non-traditional coll~ge student, it was her two children who inspired her to enroll at the college's Meigs branch, not only to more easily provide their needs, but also to set a good example. "I go to bed and dream about school work, but I want to do it for my kids," Molden said. "I know my kids watch me study, and some day, even though it's difficult for them, too, they will look back and think, 'Well, if Mom could do it, so can I." Non-traditional students make up nearly 72 per~ent . of the student popula~10n at the Untverstty of Rto Grande/Rto Grande Community College's Meigs Center, and Gina Pines, the center's director, helps those students deal with their unique academic pressures. "It is vital that these older students recognize and develop their own unique support system," Pines said: "It is so important to their .success as college students. Family, especially a spouse, employers and friends .must support the student in any way needed." Pines knows ftrst-hand the difficulties the non-traditional student faces, because she was one herself - a mother of two who craved learning. As academic adv·iser to all the center's students, she shared her secrets to academic success with Mary Beals of Middleport, now 42, who enrolled at the Meigs Center when she had full custody of·her infant grandchild. ' ·~Gina encourage<! ·me to stick with it, not to . quit, aqp her support was impottant when I really nee~ed it," Beals said. Darla Staats of Pom~roy, a long-time employee at the Gen. James M. Gavin Plant, found it almost overwhelming to re-enter the classroom after almost 25 years of work. • "I was scared to do it, but felt I really needed to," Staats, 46, said. "There was the fact that I was older, and the fact that I hadn't studied for a long time. But most of the professors have been~ally understanding." Staats will receive her degree at this spring's Rio Grande·commencement, and is considering a bachelor's degree. "Non-traditional students can usually only take one or two courses a tenn, so it takes longer for them, and can be discouraging," she said. · How do these over-burdened students succeed? In addition to a strong support system, all credited good time management, understanding employers, and gallons of midnight oil. "I've been staying up until midnight or one o'clockto study, and I work ·ahead when I can, because there are only certain hours I can devote to school .work," Molden said. "There have been times ~·hen .I didn't want to get up off the couch and face it. l just wanted to put my head down· bn the table and cry." Molden, Staats, ' Beals and Smith all agree on one thing: College would not have been a possibility for them, with their lifestyles, were it not for the Rio Grande Meigs Center. The school's convenient location, its hours of operation and its built-in support system have made promising futures for these and many other non-traditional students. "We do everything we can to make it easier for our students," Pines said. "I even keep a toybox in my office, because.so many of these students are force.d.

As Cleo says, there is more to making noodles than just mixing eggs and flour together, rolling out the dough and slicing it into long skinny p1eces. ''To begin with, when the eggs and flour are put together, they should be stirred in the same direction," she said. ''Then the dough should be made into a round ball and allowed to 'rest,"' she added. "The ball of dough should · then be floured generously and rolled out starting from the center. It should be rolled, tumed , rolled, rolled, and rolled some more, until it's ·very thin, and then turned over ·to dry'for J.), hours," she continued. "Before even thinking about slicing it into noodles, the dough should be 'dry to the touch,"' she advised, "and then the noodles should be · sli~ed thin using a sharp knife and allowed to dry some more before cooking in boiling chicken or beef stock for 20 to 30 minutes." For those who want to make noodles in advance of a dinner. she recommended putting them in a cool place, but not for more than two or three days because of the raw egg content. They can be frozen, she Said, but for not more than a few weeks, and then when ihey are taken out of the freezer, they should not be thawed \lefore cooking. By popular demand of some members of the Chester-Shade .• Historical Society and others in the community, Smith agreed to do a class on noodle making at the Chester firehouse a few months ago. The response for the class was so great that two classes had to be scheduled. Then the firemen decided serving rea A spicy tomato sauce full of shrimp IIJ!d lobster transforms linguine into a spectacular, but easy dish for entertaining. "Low-fat" is not the first quality about the dish that appreciative diners will register - but it's certainly part of the deal. The recipe is from the new "Weight Watchers Simply Delicious Winning Points Cookbook" (Fireside, 2002, $I4.95 paperback). This is a collection of about 245 recipes, stream· lined to help cooks avoid dishes with a lot of fat. Many dishes are tagged to show they'll take only about 20 minutes to make, and some are shown in color photos. You can ·make the sauce for this recipe a few hours ahead of time, cover it and let it sit on the stove. Then reheat the sauce and add the lobster and shrimp a few minutes before you're ready to eat.

Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the lobster tall and cut it into 'lr-inch pieces. (To pry the meat out of the lobster tail, cut away the soft undercover with scissors and ease away the meat from the shell with your fingers.) Add the lobster and the shrimp to the sauce and simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp and lobster are just opaque, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the linguine according to package directions; drain and place in a large serving bowl. Toss at once with the sauce and sprinkle with the parsley. Makes 6 servings.

Does everyone in your home seem like a stranger you only thou~ht you knew? Rent or buy this Mike Leigh emotional pile driver, and think Beverly Gettles again. Leigh, who also wrote the script for this aptly titled mm . set in London, has raised the bar for American filmmakers who wish to explore the dynamics of family, and the despair of poverty. There is so much to like about this Cannes Film Festival multi-award winner that by the time the fl1m is done, you will be unable to pick a favorite scene. Deftly, powerfully told, this story of three sbuggling, lower class families walks unashamedly into your heart and stays there long after the credits roll. Regardless of your stature in life, or your present family, it will be impossible for you to not find something to relate to, some line, some interaction that makes you think, 'Yes, I know how that feels.' From anger to love, from despair to hope, All or Nothing runs the gamut without breaking stride, or even letting you see what's around the comer. It's life; in motion, and love, in danger of being · forgotten. Mostly focused on a family of four - Penny, Rachel, Rory, and Phil - they will almost immediately win you over for, if nothing else, the fact that you won't recognize the actors portraying them.

(AP) - A flu outbreak has forced schools in Kentucky and neighboring states to shut down in recent weeks. Thousands of children have fallen ill. Health officials attribute the outbreak in part to a new type of i.nfluenza virus spreading around the country. At least two districts in Kentucky and four in Tennessee have closed, and schools in Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Mississippi also have reported a rash of sick students. An elementary school in Bloomington, Ind., reported last week that 40 percent of its 217 students were absent. Last week in Georgia, nearly a third of the pupils in Glynn County's 18 schools were out with flu-like illnesses. Last week "it was hitting our middle school and one of our elementaries the hardest, and then this week it hits the high school and our other elementary school," said Gerald Fulk, of Mason County Schools in northeastern Kentucky. In western Kentucky, schools in Ballard County were canceled the rest of the week after attendance dipped below 75 percent.

Study suggests hormone progesterone can help prevent premature births SAN FRANCISCO (AP) In a groundbreaking study, researchers said Thursday the hormone progesterone can help prevent premature births in a surprismgly high number of highrisk pregnancies. 'The evidence of this treatment's effectiveness was so dramatic, the research was stopped early," said Dr. Paul Meis of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Progesterone is naturaUy produced by the ovaries, and tt softens the uterus lining into a spongy bed that holds a fertilized egg. Doctors have prescribed it for years to help mfertile and menopausal women, but there had been limited research into its effect on premature births. The study found weekly injections of the hormone reduced the chance of premature births by 34 percent in 306 high-risk women. An additional 153 women .were injected with a placebo. All the women previously gave birth prematurely, the single biggest indication of risk. "The results are so good that it's surprising," said Dr. Fredric Frigoletto, chief of obstetrics at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "No intervention that we have ever applied has had any measurable effect. This is very ~ood news." Me1s said progesterone previously was toyed with as a preventive treatment for premature births in the 1960s and 1970s, but no one had completed a serious study on the subject. Glenn-Sellers engagement HaiiBumgardner engagement 8 influenza that until recently had been reported only in Southeast ·Asia, said Alicia Postema, an epidemiologist at the· federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "I think it's going to awaken people to an old idea that kind of slipped away," said Dr. Alan DeChemey, chair of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Emile Papiernik; a French obstetrician, conducted a tiny progesterone study in 1970 that showed promise. But he said he couldn't interest any pharmaceutical companies or government agencies to fund a more comprehensive experiment. "This has been sitting on the pharmacist's shelf for more than 30 years," Papiernik said Thursday. The latest study is being carried out by 19 hospitals across the country under supervision by the National Institutes of Health. Meis presented the results at the annual meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicme. In 2001, about 476,000 babies were born prematurely in the United States, a 27 percent increase since 1981, according to the March of Dimes. One in eight babies was born before the 37th week of pregnancy, which is considered full term. "The problem is huge," said Dr. Nancy Green, a New York pediatrician and medical duector of the March of Dimes. Last week the organization announced a $75 million, five-year program to reduce premature births. Babies born prematurely are at increased risk for neurological, hearing and behavioral problems. The average hospital charge in 2000 for a premature baby was $58,000, compared with $4,300 for a typical newborn, according to the March of Dimes. Some of the increase in premature births can · be attributed to more older women giving birth and the explosion of obesity in the country, Green said. But fully half,(){ premature bittlis have no known cause. The March of Dimes said black women give birth prematurely at ~isproport10n- ately hig'h rates: l7 ,5 per- . cent of all births to black women last year were pre- ' mature, compared with the ' national ayerage.of II. c) per- . cent. .

Finding those finds: Sundi!Y, February 9, 2003 Exploring the world of antiques To last another century BY BARBARA MAYER Associated Press Even. as antiques buying and selhng on the Web grows more popular, antiques fairs are a growth industry, with new events popping up all oVer. The fairs are still mainstays for a number of reasons. "For a dealer, a fair provides cash flow, and the customers come to you and take the stuff away with them," said author and lecturer Harry L. Rinker. "Fairs offer visitors a chance to touch the stuff, see what they are gettin~ and learn something," Rinker added. "No TV show or Internet can substitute for New Hampshire the first week of August, when seven fairs featuring Americana will take place," said R. Scudder Smith, editor of Antiques and The Arts Weekly. "If you are a real collector, you go to shows regardless of wherever else you may be buying." Apparently there are quite a few real collectors. Nearly one of every two American households harbors a collector, according to a 2001 survey by Unity Marketing. Meanwhile. the most popular primetime show on public television is the "Antiques Roadshow," and eBay is one of the few Internet-based trading companiP" to be making a profit. The online company reported net earnings of $47.6 million in the first quarter of 2002 and said that art, antiques and collectibles are leading sales categories. "Antiques fairs come in different flavors," said Scudder Smith. There's something for · everyone, from high-end shows with museum quality items and price tags that go into the millions to country flea markets. Often, the same audience comes back year after year. There's been a recent trend to revive dormant antiques fairs such as one known as "Antiques in a Cow Pasture" in Rhinebeck, N.Y. Anotherfhenomenonis the practice o tailgating, which ts to piggyback a new venture · onto somebody else's existing fair. Since many of the top fairs are fully booked by dealers who return year after year, new dealers require new events. This is especially necessary now because "more dealers are giving up their premises to concentrate on selling via antiques shows," said show organizer David Lester. "Traveling from fair to fair allows dealers to keep their valuable inventory in constant circulation. Even if the public isn't interested, there are always sales to o.ther dealers before the fair starts." Beyond the opportunity to look, learn and buy, some antiques fairs have become a form of entertainment, complete with high production values and celebrity opening nights. "Putting on a big show is at least as complicated as mounting a major theatrical event," Lester said. Lester will attempt to recreate the success he realized with the Palm Beach Fair, an extravaganza held each winter in Florida, this fall at New York's Javits Center. The & International Fine Decorative Arts Fall Fair, Sept. 18-24, will have all the earmarks of today's blockbuster antiques shows: a charity opening party to benefit Park the Central Conservancy, elaborate displays and vetting of booths by mdependent authorities to make sure objects are accurately described. It will also have a goodly number of European exhibitors. Associated Press Military collectibles are riding a crest, and at the same time there's a fad for logo china. Put the two together and you see why naval china is making waves. China services used on naval vessels are a small subset of a popular collecting category known as hotel china pieces decorated with the insignia of a particular hotel, restaurant, or other institution. "Daughters love to buy Dad a cup and saucer or a placesetting because he was in the Navy," said Alice Cannon of Cannon Collectibles, Lincoln City. Ore .. which specializes in naval china. "People with boats or second homes along a body of water also are prime customers." Kermit Edmonds, a military hi storian and consultant on military material culture in Mi ssoula, Mont., has been researching military china for 30 years and has examples from all the service branches. "Vi11ually all the military purchased china from time to lime." he said. "The Confederacy in its brief life commissioned from England bowls. plates and mugs that arc marked with the insignia of the Confederate navy." Edmonds' collection show ihal "the Navy had slightly more elaborate dishes than the Army, edging towards domeslie niceties on ships. The U.S. ~avy was one of the earliest to offer its men china on which to cat." Edmonds believes that "very few armies and navies in the world took such care to provide their men with tempting tableware and food." The first tableware on naval vessels. which dates back at least to the 1890s if not before, was white enameled metal v. ilh blue decoration, Edmonds said. A typical pattern for a dinner plate featured a blue band and an anchor and the initial.; USN in block letter, . The Navy also issued a bowl in similar design and a handle-less mug, known as a watch cup. A little after tum of the 20th century, the Navy switched to ceranucs for dining, at least for its officers. Early patterns - which are, of course, the rarest- have gold decoration, including a gold band and a ~old eagle. But blue and white Is the rule for the largest production of naval china, which was during and after World WarTJ. Edmonds and Alice and Gary Cannon, who also collect the china for their own use, have found quite a wide range of P.atterns, albeit with very sinular motifs of anchors, pennants, ropes and stars. Patterns are related to rank. There are special designs for petty, warrant and ward room officers, captains (pennant with stars) and admirals (flag with varying numbers of stars). Even junior officers had their own pattern - a hitched rope without any letters. Unfortunately for collectors, it wasn't common to put a date on the china. "We have never found a piece of blue anchor china that has a date," said Alice Cannon. Her efforts to find official records also have not been productive. "When the Navy wanted information about the china, they got in touch with us," she said. Naval china was used both on naval and merchant marine vessels. Given the large number of vessels in service during and after World War ll, an enminous amount of china was produced. Just how much can be imagined frOm a pur. chase by Replacements, Ltd., · a second-hand china service in Greensboro, N.C. Replacements bought 250,000 pieces of china much of it naval china manufactured by the now defunct Technical Porcelain and China Ware Company of El Cerrito, Calif. The company was known as Tepco. The china dates from World War ll and later. Alerted by an antiques scout of its existence, Replacements bought the hoard stored in large crates in a backyard in Escondido, Calif., and shipped it ·to Greensboro in four trailer trucks, said Donna Moore, a curator at Replacements. Replacements has yet to unpack the entire amount, but Moore said there are at least I00,000 pieces of naval ware. The company is selling it through eBay and its own Web site. "Customers seem to be buying individual pieces and we don't know whether they are using them or displaying them," Moore said. She believes an interest in military collectibles is driving sales. The Replacements patterns have variations, but most have a wide blue band on the rim and a shallow line of blue on the body of the plate. Anchors, stars, pennants and the initials USN are other features on the plates. Replacements offers plates in various sizes, bowls, cups and saucers and egg cups, pnced by the item. They range from $I2 for a bread and butter plate to $30 for a dinner plate. Cannon Collectibles also sells via the Internet. Prices can average $20 to $30. Those who acquire naval china should not expect luxury porcelain. Naval china is on the thick side, which is exactly how the Navy wanted it. "They were very specific about what they would and would not accept and they wanted the thickest plates almost I/2 inch thick - so that it woUld be durable and a chip wouldn 't leave sh<l[p, ed~e s and could still be used, ' said Bill Liebeknecht, an archaeoloP,ist with Hunter Research lnc . in Trenton, N.J. Liebeknecht is excavating in the Trenton area as part of an effort to document New Jersey 's history as "the Staffordshire of America." The city's I 00 or so potteries were leading suppliers of china for many uses from the 1860s to the 1930s and excavated examples show that Trenton potters produced china for use by the U.S. Navy. Architect Yoshihiro Takishita walks in the garden of the 269-year-old Japanese farmhouse, or "minka," that he salvaged and rebuilt in Kamakura, Japan. for the veteran American journalist John Roderick. With its massive posts and beams and wide-plank floors, the building is solidly strong, requiring little maintenance. Roderick predicts it will last for at least another century.

The stopper was tethered to the lavatory faucet by a small metal beaded chain so that it would be there for the next person. The rubber stopper was not unique to our lavatory. The same configuration existeC! at our bathtub with one minor difference - the rubber plug was slightly larger for the tub drain. ln either case, it wasn't very glamorous, but it did 'the trick. However, over time, the rubber stopper would become brittle, crack and invariably leak. And the chain would usually be the source of rust. ' It wasn ' t until a visit to a friend's home in the newer part of town that we discovered a leak-free, rustproof alternative. Our rubber plug had become obsolete and had been replaced by a sleek,. modern marvel that had neither a chain nor a rubber plug. It consisted of a small metal rod that operated a stopper that rem ained in the drain. When the rod was raised, the stopper would seat in the dram; when the rod was lowered, the stopper would "pop up.'' We thus had our first experience with a pop-up drain assembly. A!though a new lavatory faucet can still be purchased without the pop-up assembly, it is now considered standard equipment on most brands. Several variations of the lavatory pop-up are used for bath- Terrace Covered Terrace Vaulted Maatersuna 15'2• x17' vaulted Family 22' K19'6' Vaulted Dining 12'8' K13'6' r Vaulted Living 13' K14'6' Garage 25'4'. 35' PaUo Grenada PLAN 11 - 043 living Area 2714 sq.h.

To install a new faucet with a pop-up drain assemb ly, the existing drain and tailpiece must be removed as well as the existing faucet. Begin by turning off the hot-water and cold-water supply valves. Use a small wrench to disconnect the water-supply lines from the faucet and remove the faucet from the sink. Next, with a bucket placed· directly below the drai n, disassemble the P-trap and remove the tailpiece and drain from the ,, sink. Before installing the new drain assembly, install the new faucet and reconnect the water-supply lines. If the water-supply lines display any hint of corrosion or wear, replace them with new reinforced lines. Use Teflon tape at all threaded connections to prevent leaks. Also, thoroughly clean the mouth of the drain in the si nk to ensure that the new drain will seat properly. Remove existing £Utty, using a plastic putty kmfe (to avoid damaging the sink) and wipe clean with a dry cloth. For the best possible installation, place the new drain flange into a fresh bead of plumber's putty. Secure the drain flange by installing and tightening the lock nul at the underside of the sink. Make certain to install the suppl.ied washer between the sink and lock. nut. Next, screw the drain T into the drain. Then sc rew the tailpiece into the drain T. Orten, the tailpiece is part of the drain T. The hole in the side of the drain T should face the rear of the sink in direct line with the lift rod. \Ertbune - Sentinel - 1\.e • CLASSIF ED Feed the pivot rod into the •• drain T, and tighten the re taining nut. The pivot tod has a round ball t11at jllvots in as the lift rod is moved up and down. Insert the lift rod down through .the faucet body (or through tl)e top of the sink, de~nding, upon the configurauon) and fas ten its lower end to the clevis usrng the clevis screw. The clevis is a flat metal rod with several holes. It connects the lift rod to the pivot rod. Feed the pivot rod mto one of the clevis holes and make it fast with the spring clip. Test the mechanisrn by raising and lowering the lift rod and, if necessary, reset the.lift rod and clevis. Compl'et'e .the joli 'by reinstalling the P-trap assembly. The secret to a 'leak-free drain and trap installation is to avoid over-tfghtehing the fittings. Hand-tightening is usually all that is needed to make leak-free connections.

POMEROY - Gas prices have steadily creeped up during the past several months to squeeze more money out of peoples walle.ts. There is a petroleum worker strike in Venezuela and a war looming in the Middle East Prices have begun to reflect the reality that shortages may be looming because prices have increased eight percent since the start of the year. The wholesale price of gasoline on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 3.09 cents to $1.032 per gallon last week, which IS the highest level since May 200 I. The price of crude has been above $30 a barrel since mid-December. Ruth Shain, Letart, is not as concerned as others are about the price of gasoline, but she has noticed that prices have changed. She drives a Buick Century which she said gets good gas mileage during her short three to four mile commute to work at Southern High School where she is a secretary. "The prices bother me some," she said. "But it doesn't bother me as much as it does someone else because I don't have far to travel each day." Shain is skeptical about price increases the oil companies pass down to the consumers. "Actually, I think they look for excuses to niise gas prices," she said. "They use excuses like it's the weekend, Gas prices are steadily creeping upward with the prospect of or it's the nolidays to raise gas war in the Middle East and a• petroleum worker strike in prices." Venezuela. Currently regional gas prices start at $l.60 per gallon of unleaded regular, $1.70 per gallon of plus, and $1.80 Please see Gas. AS per gallon for premium. (J. Miles Layton) Jacob D.

(Charlene Hoeflich) DAR announces • essay w1nners BY CHARLENE News editor HOEFLICH POMEROY - More than 100 Eastern and Southern students took on the role of a Revolutionary soldier and wrote "A Jetter from Valle~ Forge: Winter, 1777-1778 ' in this year's annual American History essay conies! sponsored by Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Taking first place awards in their respective grade levels were Jacob D. Boston, a fifth grader at Eastern Elementary, Alexis Jacquelyn Hirzel, a sixth grader at Eastern; Chelsea Freeman, a seventh grader at Southern, and Adelle Y. Rice, an eighth grader at Southern. Second place awards went to Jeremy Todd Lee, fifth grader at Eastern, and Zachary Stephen Carson, sixth grader at Eastern. Chairman choice awards went to Samuel R .. Evans, fifth grader at Eastern, and Aaron Moore, a sixth grader at Eastern. The first place winners were presented medals and gifts of money, and the oth~ ers received certificates and cash awards. Judging was based on historical accuracy, adherence to topic, organization of material, interest, originality, spelling, grammer, punctuation and neainess. Pat Holter chaired the contest for the DAR. The essays described the activities going on, the conditions the soldiers lived in, the emotions they felt and their longings to be home. Chelsia Freeman, in a letter from a soldier to his wife at Christmastime, described his yearning for home and fam ily. "Tell the family that I miss them so very much and that it is the thought of them that keeps me going. I so look forward to the day when we are all at home again. I find myself dreaming of the warmth of the fire and good company." "Sometime I think I just can't bear it. I can't kill somebody. I can't stand the cold any more and I don't know if I can watch my friends die unnoti ced · any longer," wrote Alexi s Hirzel. "I hate to bring bad news Ple1se see DAR.
