This was per the agreement we had made before the wedding. When mine were finished, I nagged to no avail. A few months later, his parents confronted me. I expl'!-ined our agreement to split the chore, but my mother-m-law thought otherwise. She continued to argue that my husband "always had trouble when it came to writing." Throughout school his parents corrected his mistakes and typed his papers before he turned them in. In other words, instead of teaching him, they "fixed" things for him - and she blamed me for not doing the same. Abby, I married a man, not a child. Marriage is a union, a joint venture between two people. You said it beautifully when you advised my aunt that "times have changed." They have! A woman's place isn't where it used to be, and a wife isn't a replacement for a mother. THANKFUL BRIDE IN MICHIGAN Dear Abby ADVICE DEAR THANKFUL BRIDE: I said times were CHANGING; I didn't say that the change was complete. While many people agreed with my reply, almost as many did not. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I disagree with you. Marriage is a partnership. While the groom is ill-mannered and negligent, I think the bride is being childish. If I waited for my wife of 33 years to do what sop1e might consider "her job," bur household would be a sorry state - and I'm sure plenty of times she'd say the same about me. If more young people .adopted our philosophy, perhaps there wouldn't be so many divorces. - GARY IN GRANITE CITY, ILL DEAR GARY: I agree that a successful marriage takes a lot of giving on both sides. What I disagree with is the stereotype that writing thankyou notes is automatically uwoinan's work." DEAR ABBY: Your reply to "An~ry Aunt" was correct. I' in 54. In recent years I have received many thank-you notes from the groom. I agree that with both husband and wife working, it's only fair that both write them. My son is being married in · three months. I plan on showing him the letter from "Angry Aunt" and also my reply. HAPPY AUNT B. IN NEW ORLEANS DEAR HAPPY AUNT B.: You'll be doing him and his bride a favor. DEAR ABBY: I had the same l'roblem. After weeks of watchm~ my husband, "Roy," procrastinate, I realized that while they were "his" guests, we were one unit. People who thought poorly of him would also think poorly of "us." Roy and I bring different strengths and weaknesses to our marriage, and perhaps my strength could help him with his weakness- so I came up with a plan: Roy had expressed interest in visiting a new French cafe. I agreed to go, but only if we took blank thank-you cards that Roy would write while I caught up on other post-wedding work. We shared a delightful bottle of wine, and the thank-yous went out the next day. That bride needs to be creative about getting her new husband to send the thankyous out, because, like it or not, his procrastination makes them both look bad. CHICAGO NEWLYWED DEAR NEWLYWED: C' est magnifique! Thanks for sharing your solution. DEAR ABBY: After a recent wedding I attended, the bride wrote the notes to the groom's family and friends, and the groom wrote to the bride's. This made me feel more welcomed by the groom and let me know 'he wanted to communicate with his new bride's side of the family. A great wax to inc,orporate into one famtly, don't you think? - AMANDA IN BLOOM· INGTON, IND. DEAR AMANDA: I do. And excellent public relations.

Contract awarded for replacement of Pomeroy-Mason bridge Construction to begin this spring BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY - A contract for replacement of the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge has been awarded and construction is scheduled to begin this sprin.,. · According to Ohio Department of Transportation District 10 Deputy Director George M. Collins, the contract was officially awarded to the apparent low bidder on the project. C.J. Mahan Construction Co. from Grove City, in a joint venture with National Engineering and Contracting Co. from Strongsville, will construct the bridge at a cost of $45.8 million, nearly $3 million under estimate. Work schedules wi II be developed over the next few weeks, and a pre-construction meeting will be held with the contractor to discuss specific details of the project, Collins said. In addition, a partnering meeting that will include representatives from the West Virginia Department of ·Transportation, the contractor, consultants, construction and various ODOT areas will be scheduled in the near future, he added. "A partnering meeting is a very valuable tool when beginning a project of this size," said Collins. "It allows the key players to meet, share ideas and concerns, and develop methods to avoid potential problems before construction is under way." Construction schedules are being developed, but work will begin sometime in early spring, it was reported, Plea1e 1H Bridge, AS The 9hio Department of Transportation has released another rendering of the new Pomeroy-Maso(l Bridge which will get under construction this spring.

Doug Fry, director of the Jackson County Economic Development Board, approached Gallia commissioners Thursday to gauge their interest in the idea. Commissioner Harold Montgomery said Gallia would facilitate a meeting between the two counties. Because Gallia is also the base for the GalliaMeigs Regional Airport, Meigs County is to be included in any discussion, Montgomery said. "We're trying to get more of a regional effort started," said Fry, who spoke to Gallia leaders at the re~uest of Jackson County s commissioners and airport authority. Although Jackson County ha s an airport with a 6,000-plus foot runway, making it the longest in the area, it faces the same problem as Gallia-Meigs: It is inadequate for jets and larger corporate aircraft. The G-M Regional Airport Authority is currently revalidating a fea sibility study calling for a new atrport for Gallia and Meigs. The study, released in 1996, recommended a site south of the U.S . 35-0hio Route 850 interchange near Rodney as the best location for the new airport .J h..e . .stl!dY is LJeing 1,1pdate~r submission to the Fc:qeral Aviation Administration. The G-M airport 's runway, off Upper River Road in Gallipolis, is more than 4,000 feet long. Fry said executives with Luigino's, one of Jackson County's largest employers, regularly use the county airport east of Jackson between U.S. 35 and Ohio Route 93 . He said recommendations to improve the airport have been made to county officials. Fry added that Jackson officials also want to approach Lawrence County about potential interest. "We're by no mean s trying to lead the charge," Fry said. "We feel like we want to coordinate efforts. "Any facility that can handle larger jets would be a positive step," he added. Montgomery and fellow commissioners Bill Davi s and Shirley Angel were agreeable about launching but a discussion , Montgomery said any meeting with Jackson officials should include Gallia's Chamber of Commerce and Community Improvement Corporation, in addition to Meig s representatives . "It's something kind of difficult to get everyone on board to discuss, but we'd like to get a discussio n going," he said .· No date for a meeting was set. BY BRIAN J. REED Stall writer ... -· PAGEVI(\'bE, - A water line exp~nsion project designed to provide rural water service to 89 customers is nearing completion. Martin Broderick, general manager of the Leading Creek Conservancy District, said Thursday the installation of 16 miles of main water line is at 85 percent completion, and the mstallation of lines and taps to private residences is 60 percent completed. The project was begun last fall. The new water lines will provide service to 89 customers on Ohio Route 143 and Ohio Route 692, and on Gibson, Townsend, Mount Union, Hills, Woodyard, Staf!i Farm and Blackwood roil(j~ in Scipio Township. Broderick said 45 customers are now connected to the LCCD system, including a new dairy farm. "That farm wouldn't be there if it weren't for this project," Broderick told Meigs County commissioners Thursday. "I think the completion of this extensive project will likely result in some development, new homes and new construction in the area." The · district originally planned to add I06 customers through the expansion, Broderick said, but that num- ber was reduced. The $1.1 million proJect will be financed through funds from ~e Appalachian Regional r Commission, Community Development Block Grant funds and loan money from the Ohio Water Development Authority. Broderick said he expects it to be completed in late April. In the meantime, Broderick said the district plans another expansion project, to provide water service to 18 households just outside of Rutland. Broderick said the district will seek $30,000 in CDBG formula funds for the $80,000 project. Street closing, ODOT work begins in Nelsonville Monday Stall report NELSONVILLE Motorists traveling through Nelsonville are being adviSed to allow extra time to get to their destination once major highway rehabilitation work . begins Monday on the Canal Street section of U.S. Route 33 through the city.

This has been a long-awmted proJect that wtll help to better serve the needs of local and regional travelers utilizing this area. "While this rehabilitation will not alleviate congestion through Nelsonville, repairing Canal Street will improve safety and increase the quality of our transportation · system while ODOT continues to develop a long-term solution," he added. Preliminary work is already being done for the proposed Nelsonville bypass project which will alleviate the bottleneck effect along Canal Street by providing a continuous four-lane system to the region. Preparations for the rehabilitation have been ongoing since spring 2002 to help shorten the length of time project-related road closures will be in effect.

' Prosecutors say man was shot for harassing ex-lover AKRON (AP) -A prosecutor opened a man's murder trial with a tawdry tale of love affairs, threats and the killing of another man by a gun-wielding motorcyclist. John Zatfmo killed Jeff Zack because he refused to walk away from his love affair with a prominent restaurateur, said assistant Summit County Prosecutor Michael Carroll. The trial, which started Wednesday, was suspended Thursday when a defense attorney became ill. It will resume Monday. Carroll told jurors that Cynthia George had a long affair with Zack that ended in May 2001, after she began dating Zaffino. George, 48, is married to Ed George, the owner of the Tangier restaurant, a wellknown venue that regularly hosts public events, including Mayor Don Plusquellic's stateof-the-city address. Carroll said Zack and Cindy George had a child, now 8 years old, who the Georges have raised. According to Carroll, Zack, 44, was unhappy when Cindy George left him, and he began making harassing phone calls to her home. On June 16, 2001, Zack left his wife and son at home to pick up items for his vending machine business at a BJ's Wholesale Club. Witnesses say that as Zack stopped near a gas pump at BJ's, a motorcyclist pulled up beside the vehicle, the driver got off the bike and fired a single shot that struck Zack in the left cheek. The bullet exited below his right ear and went through the passenger-side win- dow. Witnesses said the killer wore a helmet with a reflective face cover, gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved jacket. Carroll said Zaffino fired the bullet. Zaffmo, 36, of Rittman is on trial for aggravated murder in a case prosecutors concede is purely cincumstantial. +1.56 NOV DEC High Low JAN 1,331.79 1,305.56 1000 ' FEB Retord high: 5,048.62 March 10, 2000 Feb. 27, 2003 ----~------ 1,000 Standard & Poor's 900 837.28 Pel change from previous +1.18 -.,..,-,.----::-':-::--..,.,.,-,.-----,:=-NOV DEC JAN FEB High Low 842.19 827.55 700 Record high: 1,527.46 March 24, 2000 AP Local Stocks AEP -20.95 .llrch Coal - 19.12 Akzo- 21.08 AmTech/SBC- 21.07 Ashland Inc. - 27.45 AT&T -18.62 Bank One- 35.91 BLI-11.03 Bob Evans - 23.37 BorgWarner - 53.13 Champion - 3.06 Charming Shops- 2.92 City Holding - 27.90 Col-19.99 DG - 10.42 DuPont- 36.72 Federal Mogul- .16 USB - 20.79 Gannett - 71.15 General Electric- 23.90 GKNLY - 2.65 Harley Dallidson -39.41 Kmart - .14 Kroger-· 13.56 Ltd. -11.26 NSC - 18.95 Oak Hill Financial-24.34 OVB- 22.75 BBT - 32.88 Peoples- 24.01 Pepsico - 38.22 Premier- 9 Rockwell - 23.07 Rocky Boots- 6.45 RD Shell - 38.87 Sears - 21.20 Wai-Mart- 48.16 Wendy's- 25.14 Worthington - 13.53 Daily stock reports are the 4 p.m. closing quotes of the previous day's transactions, provided by Smith Partners at Advest Inc. of Gallipolis. • As state budget worsens, universities tap key · alumni to lobby lawmakers ATHENS (AP) - Ohio's public colleges and universities are enlisting top alumni to lobby lawmakers for more higher education funding as the state budget worsens. The decision to recruit alumni who aie community leaders and business owners came as higher education lost more than $240 million to cuts in the current two-year budget. Nongraduates who are university donors will also be invited. "We hope they might be heard a little more than just the average letter writer," said Ohio · University President Robert ·Glidden. All15 of the state's universities and medical schools will participate in the new lobbying effort, "HELP-Ohio," which kicks off next month in Columbus with a keynote address by Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. Planning for HELP-Ohio started last fall as universities realized the upcoming twoyear budget, which begins July I, would be particularly challenging, said Jim McCollum, executive director of the InterUniversity Council, made up of the university and medical college presidents.

An estimated 40 million viewers watched the final hour of the series on Feb. 17, helping lead Fox to its firstever victory in a ratings "sweeps" month among viewers aged I~ to 49. CBS was the most popular network in February when viewers of all ages are counted. But networks like Fox, NBC and ABC are intensely interested in the youthful demographic because it's craved by advertisers. The chaotic February sweeps was marked by inlense competition for Michael Jackson programming and reality series like "A merican Idol" and "The Bachelorette" thai could be moved and expanded in a scheduling chess game.

All-night dance As r,eported, a certain college basketball prayer is making public protest prior to the start of each game, by turn ing her back to the American Flag during the playing of our national · anthem . The reason given for turning her back to the American . Flag has to do with disagreeme nt with the Bu sh Administrati on concerning pos,ible force of arms with lraq. and because the United States, fro m this person's perspective. is steeped in cultural inequities. The American Flag is a . precious symbo l that represents ideals and a quality of . freedom most of the peor.Ie of the world do not have hke we do. God has given to us a great nation, and proJ>er regard for the tl ag is a reflection of respect for the One who has seen fit to bless us so richl y. · Proper regard for the America n Flag is also reflective of responsible respect for th ose who are sacrificing and have sacrificed so much to keep our nation free and secure. l do keep in mind, however, th at this college basket·ball player has the freedom to show public disrespect for the flag. Numbers of Americans died to provide the national endowment and principles of freedom to do a spinal 180 if desired, to geslure social and governmental disagreement. · But, that should be all the more reason to respect the flag. because it is inherently representative of freedom to dissent, secured by previous sacrifice not required specifically of us- but by others! Personally, I disagree with . our ~overnment and practices m our nation on several important issues . But, I will · not turn my back to the flag in protest. The American Flag represents much good .:. and many ideals about our nation , concerning past history and present possibilities. Yet, a broader perspective is brought to bear here that deals with one's personal relationship with God. It is associated with the same gesture of protest in which many people have deliberately decided to turn their back on God. Why do peb p!e turn their Ron Branch i back on God? Why is it so commonly practiced of giving up on God, or of purposely turning away from God? Similarly, much of it has to do because of disagreement with God. I have heard peopie give a variety of ex planations to vindicate their turning their back on God. Some say it's because of their disagre ement with God 's expected moral and spiritual practices. Others have indicated they decided to turn their back on God because God seemed to have failed to respond in certain expected ways. Many have turned their back on God because God failed to keep a loved one from death, despite desperate prayer to the contrary. I tell you what - the expectations of God lean on me hard like everyone else. My humanity has risen up in disagreement with God on several occasions. I have di sa~reed with His will concernmg the design of ministry through me . Furthermore, when our third sbn, Eran, died just six months ago, I passionately disagreed with God! We loved the boy. We foresaw great possibilities for him concerning career and marriage. Yet, in the harsh suddenness of a moment, God saw fit to let our son be broken in a car accident. In the depths of my yet stinging soul, I still disagree with God about it! But, I will not turn my back on God. My hope and faith are bound up in who He is and what He has done through His own Son, Jesus Christ. As Job said, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." Our flag is symbolic. Our God is real. Let us not turn our backs on either of them. (Ron Branch is the pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Mason.) [:Episcopal bishop takes to the : streets·to learn about the Homeless : • PROVIDENCE, R.I.

"I have this power as the bishop of the diocese, but so often I'm bound up in pettiness ," she told The Providence Journal. "People are fascinated by someol'ie in that position doing something like this ... but they are also really trying to figure out how they feel about it," said Noreen ·' Shawcross, director of Rhode Island' s Coalition fo r the Homeless. Shawcross said Wolf 's experience changed some perceptions about the homeless. "People aren't so much talking about the hardships and injustices, but that she was able to be friends with these people," she said. In 1996, Wolf, who was raised Jewish, became the second woman to head a U.S. Episcopal diocese.

It welcomed homeless and AIDS-stricken members. hired openly gay priests and adopted the motto, "D iverse People, Inquiring Minds, Open Heans." But after some of the congregation's leaders warn1ed to New Age spirituali ty, a big rift opened up in the 145-year-old church that has yet to be fu lly healed. The problems centered on a church-affiliated dance group, the St. John 's Divine Rhythm Society, and allegations that it condoned - if not promoted - · illegal drug use at a series of all-night parties modeled after raves. The Episcopal bishop for Northern California has intervened as a result, the Rev. Kevin Pearson has been ousted as pastor, and four members of the church 's governing board resigned this last month. "It's not the drugs that are poisoning our spiritual community," one parishioner wrote in an appeal to Bishop William Swing. "It is the lies and the secrets." The rhythm society was formed in the early 1990s as an exclusive club: The idea was to provide spiritual seekers a way to dance their way toward enlightenment. Soon after, the society be~an hosting quanerly, invitatiOn-only gatherings at St. John's, midnight-to-morning celebrations featuring DJ's, light shows and New Age themes such as "Dream" and "Explore." · The society's gatherings drew about 350 people, more than three times the number that belonged to the parish. They ranged from children to seniors, but the core group consisted of young adults in their 20s and 30s. The group never pretended it would use the dances to further the Christian gospel. But according to parishioners on both sides of the debate, Pearson's predecessor, the Rev. David Nogard, saw it as an opportunity to inje't new 4 PageA4 Wilbur F.

HOLZEH CLINIC 0 ' Patrol commends Gallia man's rescue efforts BY KEVIN KEU.Y News editor • GALLIPOLIS - Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2003 had been just a routine day for Paul Dean Niday of Nonhup as he drove down Ingalls Road to check a field where he had cattle. He never anticipated seeing an oncoming car roll off the road and into Raccoon Creek. Niday stopped and saw the driver escape from the car in 17-degree early morning temperatures. Thinking quickly, he took a rope from his pickup truck, tied it to a tree and called to the driver to take hold of the rope. Within minutes she was out of the water and on her way to safety. The car's driver, Tammie L. Fetty, 39, 79 Fraley Drive, Gallipolis, did not need hospitalization and soon went home after the incident. "I believe Mr. Niday undoubtedly saved Ms. Fetty's life with his quick actions and calm thinking," said Trooper Keith Fellure of the State Highway Patrol' s Gallia-Meigs Post, who investigated the accident. For that reason, Niday was presented with a commendation Thursday by the patrol for his efforts in saving Strickland votes to ban human cloning WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland voted to ban the cloning of human beings and protect the use of stem cells in medical research. "Each human life is precious and unique, and Congress can and should outlaw human cloning to create a child," said Strickland. "But the bill that passed the House today would stop stem cell research in its tracks and deny millions of Americans the benefit of research that holds .enormous medical potential in the treatment of diseases and injuries," he added. On Thursday, Strickland voted against H.R. 534, which bans cloning to produce a human embryo, including for medical research purposes, and establishes fines of at least $1 million and up to 10 years in prison for anyone who tries to clone a human or to import an embryo produced by human cloning. The bill passed 241 -155. However, Strickland, a Democrat from Lucasville, supported a substitute bill which would have banned human cloning, but permitted research into cellular cloning techniques that would only be allowed for specific, heavily regulated therapeutic and disease research. That effon failed. ' It is expected that the cloning of specialized tissues and cells can lead to significant advances in curing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's, stroke, Alzheimer's and spinal cord injuries. It is believed that research into these types of procedures can also lead to the ability to replicate DNA, ·tissues and organs. This would allow for the development of transplants that could be created specifically for an individual , utilizing that person's own DNA, thereby eliminating the risk of rejection. Fetty's li fe . "I did what I had to do at the time." said Niday. who is a farmer, former Gallia County commissioner and current chairman of the county's Republican Central Committee. "I am quite honored and I appreciate the award." The comme ndat ion was presented by Capt. Lisa Taylor, commander of the patrol 's Jackson Di strict. who said Niday's rising to the occaston 111 an emergency was remarkable. In contrast to Niday's heroics, Taylor said, unwillingness to get involved in emergencies is becoming almost epidemic in urban areas. "You certainly didn't take that attitude," she told Niday during the presentation. T m glad that mentalit y hasn't come into the rural areas." Taylor added that such commendations from the patrol are rare. "We have I 0 counties in our district and if it happens once or twice a year, it 's a big deal," she said. '' Keith (Fellure) felt very stro ngly about what was done in this incident." Fellure, who requested the commendation , said Fetty was northbound on Ingalls when she lost control of the car she drove, causing it to strike an embankment, overturn and land on its top in the creek. A.fter witnessing the accident, Niday stopped his pickup, tied a rope to a tree and waited for Fetty to emerge from under water. When she did, calling for help, Niday tossed the rope to her and told her to loop it aro und her body. With the help of another passerby, Fetty was pulled out of the water. taken to Niday 's nearby hoine, and got a hot bath with the assistance of Niday's wife. Jean. Niday then called 9-1- I and the patrol. Fellure said after learning the facts abQut the crash . he went to the Niday home and found Fetty wrapped in blankets and drinking coffee. "Ms. Fetty was very thankful for the actions Mr. Niday di splayed in her rescue," said Fellure. At the accident scene, Fellure said Fetty's car had gone over a 12-foot embankment and landed I 0 to 15 feet into the water. The creek current was swift and water level was up at the time, he added. "He did all the right things," Fellure said about Niday's actions.

Tribune, on stealing debris from shuttle Columbia: Despite urgent requests from NASA not to . souvenir hunters have been swiping pieces of the shuttle Columbia. About I00 pieces of identified debris are missing , and the FBI has been brought in . The souvenir hunting is both unfortunate and ghoulish. Retrieving as much of the shuttle as possible is vital to determine precisely what caused the fiery breakup and take measures to prevent a recurrence. Maybe the souvenir hunters rationalize their theft by thinkin g that NASA won't mi ss one small piece , but no one knows how si'nall or innocuou s a key piece of evidence . might be. And NASA must rely on the public to help. The debris field is roughly 380 miles by 230 miles, spanning at least Texas and Louisiana, far beyond the ability of the authorities to conduct a search unaided. And NASA is interested in any pieces that might have peeled off the shuttle early and fallen into New Mexico, Arizona or California, where any find would almost certainly be made by private citizens. It's di smaying that some people are so thoughtless or se lfish that they would willfully impede an inve sti~ation into a national tragedy.

There are 306 days left in the year. Today 's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Feb. 28, 1953, sciehtists James D. Watsqn and Francis H.C. Crick discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule that contains the human genes. The revolutionary discovery in a Cambridge University l~boratory led to Watson and Crick's being awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962. On this date: In 1827, the first U.S. railroad chartered to carry passengers and freight , the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., was incorporated. In 1844. a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1849, the ship California arrived at San Francisco, carrying the first of the gold-seekers. In 185:'1, some 50 slavery opponents n1et in Ripon, Wis., to call for creation of a new political group, which became the Republican Party. In I 861 , the Territory of Colorado was organized. In 1-951, the Senate committee headed by Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., issued a preliminary report saying at least two major crime syndicates were operating in the United States. In 1975, more than 40 people were killed in London's Underground when a subway train smashed into the end of a tunnel. In 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot to death in central Stockholm. In 1995, Denver International Airport opened after 16 months of delays and S3.2 billion in budget overruns. In 1996, Britain's Princess Diana agreed to divorce Prince Charles. Ten years ago: A gun battle erupted at a compound near Waco , Texas, when U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to serve warrants on the Branch Davidians; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51day standoff began. Three U.S. planes carried out the first mission to drop relief supplies over Bosnia-Herzegovina. Five years ago: In their weekly radio addresses, President Clinton and · the Republicans sparred over education, with Clinton describing tests showing American high school students lagging behind those of other industrial nations as a "wake-up call" while the Republicans blamed the disapr,ointing results on a "hungry bureaucracy in Washington ' that gobbles up education funds. One year ago: The body of a young girl found outside San Diego was positi vely identified as that of 7-year-old Danielle van Dam. who \ .1 disappeared from her bedroom about a monlh earlier: a neighbor, David Westerfield, was later convicted of her murder and sentenced to death. HiJ1dus in western Indi a retaliated for a train attack that claimed some 60 li ves by setting fire to Muslims' homes, then keeping firefi ghters away for hours. Soap opera actress Mary Stuart, who had starred in "Search for Tomorrow" for some 35 years, died in New York at age 75 . Today's Birthdays: Actor Charles Durning is 80.

Limbo is wearing. Tension is taxing. Now is the time for good news. But where to look? The bright side is not always entirely satisfying. For example, the fact that our larders were full in time for the Blizzard of '03 is not a sterling silver lining for Code Orange blues. The equally indisputable fact that Jacques "Old Europe" Chirac - his strong-arm act clearly wasted on the EU- would be a sensation in the WWE is no cause for cheers, either. Tony Blair may be toasted in Washington, but he's getting grilled back in London. And what bright side can there be to reports of three , huge "terror ships" now plowing the seven seas? According to the Independent, a British newspaper, these hulking cargo vessels set sail three months ago - a few days after Hans Blix and Co. arrived in Iraq - and are believed to be carrying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. U.S. and British ·navies are reluctant to stop the mystery ships because their mystery crews mijlht scuttle the vessels, releasmg potentially vast quantities of chemical, biological or nuclear nastiness into the sea, causing a colossal environmental catastrophe. The fact that these ships may return safely to port after U.N. inspectors leave· Iraq is, of Diana West course, not much to celebrate. In other words, feel-good stories don 't abound. Still, there are heartening developments. Take the recent remarks by U.S. District Court Judge William Young. After sentencing AI Qaeda shoe~bomber Richard Reid to life in prison , Judge Young addressed the prisoner: "We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been throuJ¥1 the fire before," he said . "You are not an enemy combatant - you are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war - you are a terrorist. To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature .... You are· a terrorist, and we do not negotiate with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice." The judge then pointed to the American flag behind the bench and said, "You see that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the fl ag of the United States of An1erica. That flag will fly there long after · this is all forgotten ." Fine word s to recall for the duration. In Rome recently, Mayor Walter Veltroni chalked one up for our side when he canceled a scheduled meeting with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Taritt Aziz. Why? Aziz refused to answer a question from an Israeli reporter at a Rome news conference . "It was not in my agenda," the Iraq minister explained, "to answer questions by the Israeli media." ' When I first read about the incident. I seethed, imagining myself taking the floor to invite my fellow journalists to join me in exiting the hall in the name of ligh.l and truth or something. Judge Young would know what to say. In a letter to Tariq Aziz, Mayor Veltroni laid it out this way : "Rome, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, has always had absolute respect for dialogue and the civil exchange of ideas, not to mention , obviously, freedom of opinion and free access to information. I cannot accept that a public figure like yourself. the repre sentative of another country, can set a. veto and discriminate against someone, denying them the right to express themselves, no matter what position they may represent." Easy enough, thankfully, for us in democratic countries to say. It takes a singular courage, howe ver, to do the same in a religious dictatorship. Such courage is on display for all to see at www.iran-daneshjoo.org, the Web site of the Iranian stu- ll8dne Flnt Baptt.t dent movement for secular democracy. In a brimming, poignant posting entitled . "Reflections on Presidents' Day," the Iranian students or.en up a pro-American window on America itself - an ·•unequaled country," they call it. The students offer a long view on American freedoms "ri sing from the rational and human thoughts of the Founding Fathers" freedoms for which. they fight an Islai'no-fascist regime of "hostage-takers and their terrorist-nunuring masters." (They also have choice words for those Europeans who have forgotten the U.S. role in "liberating them from the yoke of Nazism and, later, Bolshevism," who now "throw stones along the path of their ally and her war on terrorism.") The . communique is an extraordinary pledge of friendship from - beautiful phrase - "tomorrow 's liberated Iran." Boosted by President Bush 's declaration of support in his State of the Union address, the Iranian students write of the "precious hope" the president' s words have given them . If. only they knew their words do the same for us. George Plagenz making in thi s country is not usually done openl y. Today, the way parents make sure their children meet "acceptable" companions is to. move to "good neighborhoods'' or to send their children to "good schools... And such underhandedness often pays off in a good marriage for the young people. Not only that. Having parents and in-laws in your corner can help make a happy marri age. Studies have shown that many unhappily married couples had originally eloped - run oil and got married agai nst their parents ' wishes . Studies have also shown th at arranged marriages once were successful. But they are not approved of in today's Western society.

Meanwhile, the reason that arranged marriages have worked out so well is that parents often have more wisdom in these matters.

Matthew 5:8 My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is ·made perfect in weakness 11 Cor. 12:9 • �Page AS Nation • World The OWly Sentinel Friday, February 28, 2003 Inside: The Daily Sentinel Scoreboard, Page B2 . Spring training, roundup, Page B4 ' Many nightclub burn victims face a long Unions. declare opposition to Iraq road to recovery if they survive · war 'at this time' Associated Press HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - The nation's largest labor federation declared its opposition Thursday to war against Iraq at this tim~. sayi ng President Bush has not made a case for an attack without broad support from U.S. allies. The executi ve council of the AFL-CIO, made up of 65 unions. ended its four-day meeting by unanimously passing the carefully worded resolution, which also says Saddam Hussein must be disamled - with "multilateral resolve, not unilateral action." Organized labor had tough words for President Bush, wi thout naming him directly, sayi ng the United States has squandered the goodwill it enjoyed after the terrorist attacks and insulted the nation's allies. "The president has not fulfilled his responsibility to make a compelling and coherent uxplanation to the American people and the world," the resolution said. Morton B<!hr, president of the Communications Workers of America, said the resolution was the result of a number of briefings on Iraq with officials who worked in the Clinton · administration, including former national security adviser Sandy Berger and former chief of staff John Podesta. "We had real broad input from these guys who had been living with this for a long time," Bahr said, adding that organized labor has historically taken positions on wars that involve American workers and their families. The resolution urges the Bush administration to pursue broad, global consensus to put pre~s ure on Iraq, "ensuring that war, if it comes, will truly be a last resort." 'Labor officials ended the meeting with a sense of unity in a time of uncertainty, with mounting job losses, a poor economy and a presidential adm inistration that is hostile to their cause, AFL-C IO President John Sweeney said. Perhaps the defining moment was Wednesday's address by Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, which shocked and enraged labor leaders, Sweeney said. They were particularly angry abou t her response to a question about the department's proposed new financial reporting requirements. She read from a paper a list of criminal charges involving one union. Teamsters Union President James P. Hoffa, a White House ally whom officials said was growing frustrated with Bush for his administration's anti- union tactics and policies, was particularly enraged over Chao's remarks. He told colleagues in the closed meeting that unions should support a presidential candidate friendly to working Americans. Teamsters spokesman Bret Caldwell said Thursday that the union received calls from White House political director Ken Mehlman and Labor Department lawyer Andrew Siff: Substantive conversations have not yet occurred, Caldwell said, "but the White House certainly is concerned about our dissatisfaction with thdr approach to labor at this point." An insider trading scandal at a union-owned life insurance company had been expected to dominate the meetings this week. But the executive council took no action or stance regarding Ullico Inc., choosing to wait until a special committee completes its review and issues recommendations regarding the special stock sale that some union leaders took advantage of, netting millions of dollars. The Labor and Justice departments also are investigating, as is a grand jury. Former policeman says Blake wanted wife 'whacked' LOS ANGELES (AP) Robert Blake's defense sought Thursday to undermine the credibility of a retired detective who said the actor told him he wanted to force his wife to have an abortion and have her "whacked" if that plan didn't succeed. William Welch, now a private detective and longtime friend of the "Baretta" actor, described why he didn't reveal the conversation with Blake until the second time he was interviewed by police investigating the fatal shooting of Blake's wife. "First and foremost I have a large family and·! dido 't want to be afmid for my family's safety and I didn't want a media frenzy at my fmnt door like I saw on (Blake's) street," Welch testified on the second day of Blake's preliminary hearing. Defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. sought to characterize that as being untruthful. "Everything I told (the detective) was the truth. I didn't tell him the entire story," Welch insisted. The hearing is expected to last two weeks. When it is over, Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nash will decide whether there is sufficient evidence to order Blake and his handy/nan-bodyguard to .stand trial in Bonny Lee Bakley's death. Prosecutors revealed their case relies at least in part on Blake's own words - some related by witnesses, others surreptitiously tape recorded by Bakley hen;elf before her death in May 2001. In a tape. Blake berates his wife for getting pregnant. "You lied to me. You double<.: rossed me. You double-dealt me. and that's who you are," he said on the recording played in court Wednesday. The defense asked the judge to bar the tape, saying it was illegally recorded. The judge said he would rule after the hearing. Bakley, 44, was shot as she sat in the couple's car after they dined at Blake's favorite restaurant, Vitello's in Studio City. The 69-year-old actor has said he left his wife to retum to the restaurant to retrieve a gun hf d left behind. When he came b~ck to their car, he said, he found her mortally wounded. Prosecutors say · Blake shot her. His handyman, Earle Caldwell, is charged with conspiring in the slaying. Blake, gaunt and graying, showed no reaction ·as his old friend Welch testified about a scenario as bi1.arre as a movie script. Welch, a Los Angeles pol ice officer for 21 years before he became a private detective in 1985, said he had done work for Blake and they were friends. He said he had a conversation with Blake in October 1999 in which the actor told him he had impregnated a woman during a one-night stand and wanted ber abducted to undergo an abortion. "He said, 'We're going to hire a doctor, we're going to abori her and if that doesn't work we're going to whack her,"' Welch testified. "I said, 'Robert, you mean we're going to kidnap this girl, we're going to hire a doctor, we 're going to'abort her against her will, if that doesn't work we're going to kill her?' "He said, 'Yeah, I've thought about it and that's what we're going to do. "' 0 Many are burned beyond recognition, with months if not years of grueling rehabilitation ahead - if they survive at alL But the fact that all 187 victims hospitalized after the Rhode Island nightclub fire were still alive a week later offered some consolation to a region grieving for the 97 who perished in the blaze. "The care they 're getting is phenomenal," said Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri. "B ut for a lot of them, it's touch-and-go. The survivors in one sense are in for the longest pull ." Of the 55 victims who remained in Massachusetts and Rhode Island hospitals Thursday, 36 were in critical condition. One of the most seriously injured victims had bums over 85 percent of his body. Carcieri said he met with one family whose son's burned hand had to be amputated. Another victim's tlesh was so badly burned that a rod that had previously been implanted in his spine was visible. Many patients' conditions have improved, but others. have de ten orated. The victims faee years of excruciating pain, skin grafts and other reconstructive surgery, physical rehabilitation, and psychological counse lin~ to deal with their disfigunng lnjurij!s. Because of the extreme danger of deadly infections and other complications, many of them may not be in the clear for months. "Unfortunately, we've all had people die the night before they were to be discharged," said Dr. Debra Reilly, a University of Nebraska physician and chair of the American Burn Association's rehabilitation committee. The nightclub victims have survived the firs t major obstacle: burn shock, which usually strikes in the first two days. But their dying skin continues to leak dangerous acids into the body, and most are fig hf\ng lung damage from inha ing hot gases and chemicals: They are also extremely susceptible to infections like pneumonia. "The risks of lung failure from the inhalation injury and the risk of infection will remain for a long time," said Dr. Richard Sheridan, codirector of the burn center at Massachu setts General Hospital, where 12 critically injured patients remai ned on Thursday. Doctors said many patients suffered particularly ac ute lung damage. possibly because of the intensity of fire but also perhaps because of the specific niaterials that burned inside The Station nightclub. Still, the injured had a lot going for them. Many are young, in their 20s and 30s, which significantly improves their survival chances. In addition, medical professionals know much more about treating burns than they did during catastrophic nightclub fires of years past. Dr. Joseph Amaral, president and chief executive of Providence's Rhode Island Hospital and a trauma surgeon who treated some of the 64 victims taken there, said that in Boston's Cocoanut Grove fire of 1942, for instance, many of the 492 people killed survived the blaze itself but died soon afterward from kidney failure because rescue workers knew little about how burns affect the body. In the Rhode Island blaze, emergency medical techni cians performed critical first steps. replacing burn victims ' tlu1ds and proteins and preventing them from suffocating from the swelling in their throats. · Their quick, organized transport of victims from the West Warwick nightclub to hospitals also helped, doctors sa1d. In addition, hospitals offer more advanced burn care than even 15 years ago. Victims who do not have enough healthy skin for grafting can be treated with artificial skin, and scientists can now eventually replace those patches with natural skin cultivated in a lab dish. Infection is a constant battle, but patients at Mass General have sterilized air blown over them to minimize the risk. Reconstructive surllery may restore much of the1r ability to move and ease the pain.

(AP) Things not looking good for Louisville Cardinals lose to Marquette, 78-73 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Two weeks ago, things were going great for the Louisville Cardinals. Now, nothing seems to be going right. Dwyane Wade scored 28 points and Scott Merritt added 18 as No. 10 Marquette came from 19 points down to beat No. II Louisville 78-73 on Thursday night. The Cardinals (19-5, 9-4 Conference USA) lost for the fourth time in five games after a 17-game winning streak. And that might not be their only setback. Leading rebounder Elli s Myles injured hi s right knee with I: 15 left in the game . He left on a stretcher and was taken to a hospital . His status wasn't immediately known, but Louisville coach Rick Pitino was expecting the worst. "Every time I see an injury like that, it's probably an ACL," .Pitino said. More bad news may be coming . NCAA investigators have been in Louisville all week looking into center Marvin Stone's ties to an AAU program when he was in high school in Huntsville, Ala. The 6-foot-10 senior hasn't been suspended, but Pitino isn't happy about the way the situation has been handled by the NCAA. "I believe in cleaning everything up that is wrong with our game," Pitino said. "But you have to understand you can't do this to a basketball team. It's unjust, and! don't like it. I've got a bad taste in my mouth over the whole thing." The Cardinals have three games left in the regular season, starting with Saturday 's game with East Carolina. In other games involving Top 25 teams , it was No. I Arizona beat No. 23 Califomia 88-75, and No. 19 Stanford defeated Arizona State 88-77. Everything seems to be going well for .the Golden Eagles (21-4, 12-2), who won for the 14th time in 15 games. Marquette has a I 1/2-game lead over Memphis in the overall league standings with two home games left "We played with great heart, great resiliency," Marquette coach Tom Crean said.

Wade also led the Golden Eagles with seven assists and had eight rebounds, outdueiHng Gaines, his main competition in the race for the league's player of the year. Gaines scored only 12 points on 4-of·ll shootmg. "If Dwyane Wade didn't put an exclamation point on what type of player he is, I don't know what will," Crean said. "He defended, rebound· ed and scored. He really got a lot of things done." Freshman Francisco Garcia scored 24 points for Louisville and Myles had 12 points and II rebounds before he left the game with score to 40-36, but two weak defensive stands by Southern gave up lay-ups including one bucket at the buzzer after the two clubs failed to grab the handle on a loose ball with 12 seconds left. Manchester's defense smothered Randolph in the second period and also had Connolly bottled up from the get-go. Randolph had two and Connolly none in the frame, but Southern did get a big score from Jake Nease in the stand. Sputhern trailed 44-37 at the half. Southern held Palmer scoreless in the third round, but could not score itself. The two clubs battled near even, but the Greyhounds led 5547. In the last round, Palmer ran wild as the pace quickened and Southern was unable to stop him once again. Palmer-had 14 in the frame. Despite a great 12· point frame from Jordan Hill and seven from Randolph Southern still could not come back. With I :04 Southern was down just seven, but 1:151eft. "It was a big blow for the team to see him go down," Gaines said. The Cardinals led 42-23 in the first half and by II at halftime before the Eagles came roaring back. Louisville led 57-45 after the first three minutes of the second half. But the Eagles went on an 18-4 run over the next four minutes, holding the Cardinals to a single field goal. Menitt gave Marquette its first lead with a basket in the lane with 10 minutes left. "We threw away the stat sheet at halftime," Crean said. "We wanted to start all over again." Myles kept the Cardinals close with three rebound I'Ut· backs. But Wade had etght points in a five-minute span to put the Eagles up 74-70. "It was a big-time game. I tried to step up to the chat· lenge," Wade said. Garcia scored on a drive just hi~ third basket of the second half to keep Louisville within two.

"We're going to let the process take its course," Marshall coach Bob Pruett said Thursday night "That's what we have to do with everything. It's just an allega· tion right now. At the end, we'll make a decision." Hill did not immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment "I was just stoppin' to get some food," Hill told WSAZ- TV while being led into court in handcuffs. If convicted, Hill faces a $100 fine, while Baisden faces up to three days in jail and/or a $500 fine, McCallister said. McCallisfer said a plea hearing for both players was set for March 10. · Hill is scheduled to go on trial in May on charges of resistidg arrest, secondoffense driving on a sus~nd· ed license, reckless driving, failure to drive right of center and failure to obey a red light. He is accused of fleeing police in October after being spotted driving recklessly.

So, the way he's playing now ... it's going to be a great match." Thursday's second round was full of both - a couple of blowouts, a couple of matches that went to the 18th hole, and a couple of wild finishes. Defending champion Kevin Sutherland made a par on the 18th hole by playing down the first fairway, but still beat Jus tin Rose of England. Phil Mickelson hit a tee shot into the hazard on No. 14, but it struck a rock and came out into the rough. He wound up holing a 35-foot putt from off the green for par on his way to a 3-and-2 victory over Brad Faxon.

He next plays Jerry Kelly, who advanced with a 2-and-1 victory over Mike Weir. "That's a hurdle for me," Mickelson said. "I want to focus on that match and see if I can get past that." Don't forget about Darren Clarke. He won in 2000 by whipping Woods in the final, and the ·burly, cigar-smoking Clarke is looking good through two rounds after a 7- 160 weight class, Steven Atkins. Finishing third place was a couple of seventh graders and cousins, Austin Willford in the 98 pound weight class and Cassady Willford wrestling ill heavyweight. ' Others competing well put not placing was eighth grader Ryan Barnett , and seventh grader Morgan Powell. Eric Woods, the other wrestler rounding out the team, did not compete because of injury. According to the coach, the Meigs wrestling program looks very promising . They continue to improve and are looking forward to a growing Middle School program, he added. and-6 rout of Davis Love III. Still, Woods could be tough to beat. "If Tiger hasn 't made a bogey ... that's very impressive," Mickelson said. "That means you have to make a birdie to win the hole, and that's very difficult out here." Equally impressive was the way Woods beat Choi. With rain pelting his hat, he hit 5-iron to 3 feet and 2 inches on consecutive holes and was never challenged the rest of the way. "When you're playing in conditions like this, you don't want to ever give your opponent a hole," Woods said. "You know if you don't make any mistakes, you're more than likely going to win the match. That's what I tried to do the last couple of days." In other matches Thursday: - · Jay Haas, at 49 the oldest player in the Accenture Match Play Championship, disposed of Shigeki Maruyama. Next up is Nick Price, 46, a thirdround pairing between two guys who are a combined 95 years old. - Scott Hoch, 47 , usually complains about cold and rainy weather.

He won, 6 and 5, and joined three other Australians in the third round. Robert Allenby, Adam Scott · and Peter Lonard also advanced. Clarke tied the tournament record with the most lopsided victory, 7 and 6, over Love. "I got all the breaks, and Davis got none," Clarke said. Love got plenty of breaks - all of them bad.

(AP) - Bobby Bradley and J.R. House were once the two most highly touted prospects in the Pittsburgh Pirates' farm system. Now, they are trying .to work their way back from reconstructive elbow surgery. Bradley, a right-handed pitcher, missed half of the 200 I season and all of last year because of his surgery. Hou se. a catcher, had hts operation last September. Bradley was the Pirates' tirst-round draft pick in 1999 and Hou se was taken in the fifth round after the two were all-state high school players in florida. Before the 2001 season, Baseball America ranked House as the Pirates' top prospect and Bradley at No. 2. Now, both are trying to make up for lost time. "From a player development standpoint, the one thing you hate to see any young prospect do is lose at bats and mnings in the minor leagues," Pirates General Manager Dave Littlefield said. "It can ~ be overcome but it's a setback . Both Bradley and Hou se are very talented but have a long way to go to overcome what they've missed." They are taking steps during spring training. Bradley, who took .part in the . Pirates' Florida Instructional League program last fall. is now able to pitch wi thout any restrict10ns. House is allowed to take batting practice and play catch at di sta nces up to 140 feet, th o u ~ h he ·is unable to play in the f1eld at this point. Being further along in his rehabi litation process, Bradley is the more optimistic of the two. " I couldn't be happier because I'm pitching without pai n for the first time in a long time," Bradley said . "It's been a long road back for me. There are a lot of steps along the way. But I feel I'm totally recovered now and I'm back to· being the same pitcher I wa' before I got hurt." . Bradley. des pite hi s pro mi se and big breaking .curveball. has made onl y 29 starts in four minor-league seasons because of elbow problems. The 22-year-old missed the second half of the 2000 season because of elbow pain and underwent exploratory arthroscopic surgery in June 2~1 before having his reconstructive operation that October. Because of his lack of experience, Bradley will probably return to the Pirates' high Class A Lynchburg farm club to start this season. That is where he was pitching when he was hurt in 200 I. "The toughest part for me is my elbow injury just got gradually worse over the years," Bradley said. "Sometimes, I wish I would have just blown out my ligament on one pitch. That way, I could have had the surgery sooner and moved on. "It's been tough to be patient. The thing I always keep telling myself is I'm still a young guy and I have a lot of career ahead of me." House, 23, was once on the fast track to the major leagues. After winning Most Valuable Player honors in the Class A South Atlantic League while playing for Hickory in 2000, Rouse moved up to Class AA Altoona in 2001 but hit just .258 with 11 home runs and 56 RB!s in 112 games. The Pirates sent House back to Altoona last season and he had a lost year, appearing in 30 games. House had two surgeries to repair a hernia before injuring his elbow in August. Because House isn't expected to be able to work behind the plate until June, he likely will stay in the Pirates' extended spring training camp until then. After that, he will likely go back to Altoona for a third season. "It's been tough because, a few years ago, I expected to be in the big leagues by now," House said. Notes : Melqui Torres allowed seven runs in I 213 relief innings as the Pirates blew a 6-1 lead and lost 8-7 in a seven-inning "B" game against the Hyundai Unicorns of the Korean Baseball Organization on. Thursday morning. Kris Benson, likely to be the Pirates ' starter for the March 31 opener at Cincinnati, · started and pitched two scoreless innings. Carlos Rivera and John Barnes homered for the Pirates while Yohanny Valera hit a three-run double . ...

As I was showing her lhe bedroom. , June asked to see an opal ring that she noticed me wearing on the day we met. I opened my jewelry box and watched as she tried it on. Just then, the doorbell rang and I rushed to answer it. With all the goings-on of the party, I completely for~ot about June and the opal nng until she said her goodbyes. June laughingly told me the ring had gotten stuck on her finger and she couldn't get the "'dam thing" off. Then she was gone. . That was two months ago. June moved out of town and left no forwarding address. My husband and I couldn't locate her. The ring belonged to my husband's late grandmother and was a gift to me . on· our wedding day. My husband's mother and sister are furious with me for allowing June to walk off with an heirloom. They have been pressing me to track her down and take her to court. I continued to search for her with no luck until last week, when June called and said she was in town and would like to drop by. She never showed self-1i1teresL~.

I'm beginning to wonder if she will ever return my ring. I want to avoid conflict and am trying to think of a way to get it back without having to go to court. Can you help me, Abby? MISSING MY OPAL IN COLORADO DEAR MISSING: Pick up the phone, tell the police what happened, and file a theft rejl?rt. It appears that June has shcky fingers in more ways than one, and depending on the value of the ring, has committed grand theft. Please don't wait. Sometimes conflict is unavoidable, and in this case. you have every right to scream, "I wuz rQbbed." Good luck. DEAR ABBY: I have been going with "Jeremy'" for five years. He's 28, I'm 25. We love each other dearly. We've talked seriously about !letting married and having children. The problem is he's asked me twice to marry him --- only to take his pro{'Osals hack. The first ttme, we set a date and started making wedding plans. When Jeremy changed · his mind, I asked if 11 had anything to do with me. He said no - that he loves me and can't picture a life without me - but he was scared. Now when the subject of marriage comes up and we talk about a wedding and future togelher, Jeremy makes remarks like, "Yes, if we make it that long." Then he starts naming all the people we know who have gotten divorced·. I blame Jeremy's mother for his attitude. She's been · married and divorced five times. ()fer most recent marriage · lasted less than a year.) I want to spend my life with Jeremy more than anything in the world, but his negative outlook on marria¥e worries me. I hate to say tl, but I'm beginning to resent him for it. Should I break it off or stay?- UNSURE IN INDIANA . DEAR UNSURE: Before this mating dance goes any further, you and Jeremy should get premarital counseling. It's an understatement to say that he has poor role mod- eling when it comes to marriage and what it entails . Counseling will give him the chance to express all his fears in a supportive settin~.

Gary M. Harrison's petition carried the five nominaung signatures required for the May 6 primary, but among those signatures was th'l,l of the circulator, Gallia Counly Commissioner Bill Davis. The petition circulator only signs the petition in that capacity, not as one of the registered voters nominating the candidate, explained Charlotte Seamon, deputy director of the elections board. Because the signature on the nominating section was disqualified in accordance with state law, Harrison was left with only four signatures on the petition. Five signatures are required for a city commission election petition. The board reviewed petitions of six candidates for two seal~ on the commission Thursday and made its decision to disqualify Harrison's petition after it was found Davis, a former city commissioner, signed the nominating section of the petition. Harrison was notified of the board's decision by telephone and is being sent a letter explaining the action, Seamon said. J!1e filing OOldiine for the pri· mary Wail"fietl. 20.

GALLIPOLIS FERRY, W.V~.- Being without power is bad, but being alone, in a wheelchair, and without electricity is even worse. Daphene Cochran has been trapped in her home off Pleasant Ridge Road near Gallipolis Ferry for almost rwo weeks now because of bad weather. Sbe is in a wheelchair because of a broken leg. Cochran said that her power went out on Sunday, Feb. 16, about II a.m. She wasn't worried at first, but when it remained out that night, she began to worry. " ! went to bed and covered up and just waited for someone to come," said Cochran. Cochran said that during the night, the brancb~s frqrn the · trees surrounding !her. bouse · began to crack an4 fllll. One feU on pg,wer line - which then feU on her house - and three more landed on her truck in the driveway. "I wasn't scared; I was petrified. It sounded like they were coming through the roof," said Cochran. The next morning, Monday, she awoke around 9 a.m. to try and report the outage, but because it was a holiday, no one was at the emergency numbers she called. · She finally reached' someone at Lifeline, a home health care service that had been caring for her, and they told her to caU 91-1, which she did. Emergency services told her to call the Apple Grove Fire Department. When she called them, she received an answering machine and left a message. Cochran said that she had a propane heater - but no propane - and a generator with only one gallon of gasoline. In the meantime, her son, who knew of her short supplies, was busy trying to clear The old Western Auto buildings days are numbered.

Her nephew, who only lives a short distance through the woods from her, was able to get her some propane on Monday for her heater. Then, her nephews and son went to work on clearing a path to her house for a vehicle. They cut trees and branches for toore than three miles to make a path so. that they could get through more easily check on Cochran and bring her more fuel. Cochran said she didn't know what she would have done without relatives. "When I looked out the window and saw my truck covered with fallen limbs. I knew that even if I was able to crawl to the truck, I would not be able to leave. If my family had not helped me, I would have frozen," said Cochran solellUlly. Cochran said that she only cooked once a day on a camper stove to save her fuel, and her nephew would walk through the woods to I urn on her generator so that her house could heat. "He would leave it on for two to three hours and then shut il off to conserve fuel. I just put lots of clothes on to keep warm. I went to bed at 7 p.m. every night because I got sick of looking at the kerosene lamp," said Cochran.

Reed said the bank will also work with the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation, of which he is president, on fmding a suitable development for the prime downtown lot, since the CJC owns the University of Rio Grande's Meigs Center next to the Platter lot. "As I see it," Reed said. ''we're only limited by the limits of our imaginations, and I think there's great IX'tential."

Kerr~ Earnh@rdt amie McMurray won the second Winston Cup race in which he competed, but because he only competed in six races last season, he was not officially a rookie. The presence of a victory in October 2002 at Lowe's Motor Speedway on his resume ought to set him apart from the other contenders for Raybestos Rookie of the Year, right? Not necessarily. One of the other contenders, Greg Bif· fie, is a former champion in both NASCAR's Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. Another, Jack Sprague, won the truck title a record three times. Casey Mears, Larry Foyt and Tony Raines are also in the competition. But McMurray, 26, has the edge so far. He finished fifth in Sunday's Subway 400 at North Carolina Speedway. A day later, McMurray won the rescheduled Busch Series event in dominating fashion, leading all but five of the 197 laps. The Joplin, Mo., native said the Rockingham, N.C., track was his favorite. It was the site of a Busch Series victory late last year. The Rockingham finish was McMurray's third in just eight Cup starts. He credited his new crew chief, Donnie Wingo, with helping him keep his No. 42 Havoline Dodge Intrepid near the front. "He did a couple of things that I had never really done before and I didn't know, so we tried it and it worked really well," M~Murray said. "They (the crew) adjusted on the car all day, and I felt like the track changed and we kept up with it. "The last 30 laps were pretty much half-throttle since I was trying to save fuel because we didn't figure we could make it," McMurray added. "We were kind of gambling on that. We ran up front all day so I'm happy. I'm proud of everyone on the team. This is a brand new team, and Donnie (Wingo) and the guys did a great job in the piis all day." McMurray moved past Rusty Wallace into fifth place in the finallO laps. "To take a new team to Rockingham and finish fifth is having a good day," Wingo said. "We stayed in the top 10 most of the day, so everything went really well." At the time McMurray won for the first time, when he was substituting for the injured Sterling Marlin, he had not won a race in either the Busch Series or the Craftsman Truck Series. The Cup victory apparently gave him need· ed momentum in the Busch Series, where he won twice shortly after the breakthrough victory at Lowe's Motor Speedway. No driver had won so quickly in NASCAR's top division since Johnny Rutherford, more noted for his Indy-car successes, won a 100-mile points race at Daytona on Feb. 22, 1963.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland recently sent a letter to Ohio Gov. Bob Taft urging him to seek full federal emergency assistance for Gallia, Meigs and several other southeastern Ohio counties affected by the ice storm of Feb. 15-16. "As you may know," Strickland Strickland said in the letter , "many of these areas continue to face power outages, treac herous roads, and millions of dollars in damage. And significant, unanticipated costs that go well beyond mere snow removal still confront local authorities." Full emergency assistance from Washington is officially referred lo as "major" federal disaster status. Taft has declared an emergency in Gallia, Meigs, Belmont, Lawrence, Monroe, Noble and Scioto counties. Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) arrived in Ohio this week and have toured most of the · impacted counties. If a federal emergency is declared, the affected communities may be eligible for FEMA Public Assistance programs, which help communities repafr infrastructure, and in certain circumstances, also be eligible for Individual Assistance programs that give aid to people whose lives and homes are affected. In addition , if a federal emergency declaration is made. the Small Business Administralion (SBA) may offer low-interest loans to el igible individuals and bu sinesses to repair or replace damaged property and personal belongings not covered by insurance.
