Our daughter and her three children. all under 8, survive him. The ni ght Tom died. neighbors took car~ of our grandchildren. while others accom· panied my daughter to the hospital. They waited ihroughout the night until we arrived from out of state, hundreds of miles away. The next day these wonderful people took their own children out of school to play with our grandchildren. Neighbors took days off work to comfort and care for our . daughter. They organized a schedule of who would provide meals. More than 15 families in the · neighborhood helped with all the small yet important details before and after the funeral. Photos of our son-in-law and the family were enlarged, framed and displayed in the visitation room of the funeral home - · along with handdrawn pictures and letters of sympathy from the neighbors' children and our grandchildren's classmates. Friends set out journals for guests to record their memories of Tom and express their condo- Dear Abby ADVICE lences. In the coffee room at the funeral home, neighbors arranged for baby sitters, toys, food and beverages for the many children in attendance. After the memorial service, these folks catered lunch at our daughter's home. Several neighbors opened their homes to out-of-town visitors. And to top it all off, the family next door moved out of their home to provide extra room for family mem· bers attending the funeral. Now, months later, neighbors are still taking our grandchildren on outings, checking on our daughter, and bringing in meals on occasion. Never have I seen a neighborhood with so much warmth and caring. In a day and age when neighbors barely know each other, it is inspiring - especially in a metropolis like Chicago. I know of no other column with a wider audience than yours, Abby. Please share this experience with your readers in the hope that they, too, will make the effort to participate in their neighborhoods and be of service to others. - A GRATEFUL MOTHER DEAR GRATEFUL MOTHER: I offer my condolences for your loss. Being of service to others is the highest calling I know. In these complicated economic and political times, people often narrow their focus . Your daughter's neighbors are an inspirational example of brotherly love in action. DEAR ABBY: I was divorced three years ago and am uncertain about what to do with my wedding album. This is on my mind because I'll be remarrying this year, and I have no desire to keep the photos from my first marriage. My dilemma is that I have two small children and wonder if there would be any benefit -or harm- in keeping the album for their sakes. (Their dad is pretty much out of the picture.) Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Martin has informed county commissioners of a recent influx of prisoners in the jail.' He added, however, the situation is not critical. Martin said money from an appropriated $60,000 line item in the sheriff's office yearly budget is being spent "somewhat quicker 'than normal" due to an increase in the number of in-county and outof county inmates. "We have already spent close to $23,000 of our allotted budget for the jail's operation," Martin said.

The increase of inmates, in addition to the everyday expenses it takes to operate the jail, such as food, laundry and medical costs, have created the "' Cllll'll,nt situation, he explainea. ''This is. nothing to get alarmed about. The commissioners are responsible for operating the jail and this report is just an update to inform them of what's currently happening," he said. He noted that not all of the $23,000 is attributed to the recent increase of prisoners. "About $12,000 of that total went toward paying several bills from 2002." Martin said he is currently in the process of implementing a "pay for stay" plan, which would require all housed inmates to pay a set price. "! believe the 'pay for stay' program would definitely save the taxpayers some money," Martin said. "We are still in the process of studying this plan and are currently in discussions with legal experts to see if it is truly viable." If the plan is implemented, the county would enter into a contract with a collection agency to legally process and acquire the prisoners' fees, he said. 2 Sedioni - 12 Pllges Calendars A'6 Classifieds 84-S Comics 86 DearAbby 86 Editorials A4 Local news A3,S Movies AS Obituaries AS Ohio•W.Va.

LEACH Staff writer GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - The future of a proposed state law that would allow certain residents to carry concealed weapons is leaving local law enforcement officials with mixed reactions. The Ohio House of Representatives recommended passage of yet another version of House Billl2- a proposal that would allow Ohioans who pass background checks and complete 12 hours of tratning to obtain licenses to carry concealed weapons. Gallia County Sheriff David L. Martin said as long as people are properly trained and certified, he sees no problem with the bill. "Bad guys are always going to have guns, and I'm not worried about the Brandeberry good people of our community who own a firearm . ''Today's crimes have become more violent and most people in our county know that deputies can't be everywhere at once," he added. "I believe we have a right to protect our- selves. "I cannot stress enough that proper training and certification is the key to this important issue." Even though Gallipolis Police Chief Roger Brandeberry said he's not personally opposed to the concealed weapons bill, he is against the House's latest version and believes the bill 's language needs to be cleaned up. The bill requires written and physi cal training courses for people who will apply for a permit. a However, requirement that all applicants be fingerprinted is missin g. Martin Currently, those caught carrying hidden firearms must convince a prosecutor or judge that the weapon was needed because of their job. An example would be someone who carries a large sum of money, or perhaps a person who has been threatened. Last year, the House,approved the bill after 17 hearings and mne months of debate. The state Senate waited until after the Nov. 5 election to act Promoting reading on it, finally passing its version in December just before adjourning for the session . The result was a bill with changes that the House would not accept and the bill died when the session ended at year's end. The new version of the bill , if approved by the House, will be presented to the Senate later lhis month. "Personally, I'm not totally against the bill, however, I am a member of . the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, and as an organization, we are against the passage of this current bill," said Brandeberry.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The staie asked the Ohio Supreme Court on Friday to keep a judge from supervising the response to the court's latest ruling that the state's school-funding system is unconstitutional.' Attorney General Jim Petro· asked the court to .rule that Perry County Common Pleas Judge Linton Lewis, whose 1994 decision first found the system unconstitutional, no longer has jurisdiction in the 11-year-old case. Petro also asked the court to keep Lewis from acting until the motion filed Friday is resolved. The coalition of about 500 school districts that filed the original lawsuit against the state said in a filing in Perry County on Tuesday that Lewis should schedule a meeting between the coalition and the state "to supervise the development of a remedy" for school funding. The 1991 lawsuit led to three rulings by the Ohio Supreme Court declaring the system unconstitutional. The most recent ruling came in December, when the Supreme Cli.rt Upheld previous decisions that the funding system favors rich districts over poor by relying too much on local property taxes. The court then dropped its jurisdiction in the case. Petro's filing claims nothing in the December ruling gives Lewis the authority to take over the case. He also . l ·thlnlt that hi.tory wm show " · · ..tbaJif we.a~c;~ this ·cpuntty,. "'' Iraq, that .lfwa,·unwlse, and.!\ . said the coalition ignores statements from the court that the litigation has ended. Lewis , Petro who did not ~~ return a call seeking comment Friday, has 10 days to ·respond to the request that he put the case on hold and 21 Phillis days to respond to the request that he be taken off the case, Supreme. Court spokesman Jay Wuebbold said. William Phillis, the director of the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding, said the December ruling reverts the case to Lewis. "The system is unconstitutional. If Judge Lewis doesn't have jurisdiction and the Supreme Court has ended jurisdiction, who does have it?" Phillis said. The coalition could make further filings in the case, Phillis said. "We're not going to just twiddle our thumbs while additional harm is done to school children," he said. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The House of Delegates voted 89-5 Friday to approve a record $3.026 billion budget for ·West Virginia. Though larger than this year's budget, Finance Chairman Harold Michael said the amount. reflects an effort to avoid an .estimated $250 million deficit blamed on rising health-related costs and slumping revenues. "Mr. Speaker, it's not pretty, but there it is," Michael, 0-Hardy, said during an evening floor session. All state atlencies except Military Affll1l's and Pubhc Safety, which includes the State Police and corrections, freed up $127.7 million by cutting th~ir spending by I 0 percent. Anotlier $17.1 million was saved by reducing payrolls in those departments by 3 percent. All agencies also absorbed increases in legal, retirement and health insurance costs. All · told, the budget increased by only $36.5 million from this year, Michael said. Wise proposed a $3.03 bil~ lion budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The House was able to carve $8 million from that proposal, partly because the state court system submitted a reduced spending request. The House added $5 million to what Wise allotted for the state's three medical schools, which have been buffeted by rising insurance costs lower health care payments.

The first band uniforms came from Nelsonv ille High School and were red and black. Romine explained that local dance instructor Gerald Powell of Pomeroy was the first field commander. She said after he graduated, he went on to become a dance instructor and at one time worked in Arthur Murray Studios in Florida. The marching band would continue until the mid 1980s and early 1990s when waning student interest and school funding eliminated the program. Kenny McKnight is head of the percussion section. He plays four drums at once and has been waiting for uniforms for five years now. "I am looking forward to the new uniforms," he said. "It will feel like a real band with the uniforms." reimbursed for 85 percent of the property's value if that person has home owner 's insurance. The insurance company is supposed to disburse the remaining 15 percent to the village. If the property owner repairs or demolishes his property, the owner can then collect the additional 15 percent which village retained from the initial insurance settlement. If the owner takes the insurance settlement and abandons the property, the village can use the money which . the insurance settlement disbursed to it for clean-up or demolition. Council elimi nated thtl word "secure" from the original ordinance to force property owners to do more than board up windows or do minimal work to satisfy the spirit of the ordinance. Before, a person potentially could have done the bare minimum to collect the additional 15 percent from the village, and the burned out or blighted property would remain as a boarded up eyesore for the village to endure. Councilman Victor Young 11I estimates there are 15 to 20 burned out structures that owners have left behind for the village to deal with.

(AP) - The United States isn't under direct attack and the Bush administration is undermining the United Nation's credibility by pressing ahead with preparations to attack Iraq, says West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd. "I think that history will show that if we attack this country, Iraq, that it was unwise, and based on hasty thinking and thinking that is not willing to listen further," Byrd said during an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live." Because of recent events and nation's turning away from the U.S., Byrd said he doesn't feel safe in America. "I've never felt this way since the Cuban crisis of 1962, but I feel it now." A vocal opponent of the Bush administration, the 85-year-old Democrat pulled no punches during the hour-long interview. "This is the most partisan administration that I can remember having served with," said Byrd, who called President Eisenhower his favorite Republican president and President Truman his favorite Democrat. " ... I think the president is surrounded by a group of super hawks, and I think that he gets some wrong advice many times, probably in this very situation," he said. Byrd's criticism wasn't just for President Bush. Congress has failed to question Bush's motives, he said.

Thought for Today : "" If there is any principle of the Com iitut io n tha t more imperatively calls for attac hment than an y other it is the principle of free thoug ht - not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thou ght tha t we hate."' - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. ( 1841. 1935 ) 0 ~E CJ NCIWN,;l"l f'<;1.;T C OUR READERS' VIEWS Some questions Dear Editor: It is my nature to be curious about many things. Afte r reading the article in the Tribune conce rning the upcoming Clyde Dupin Crusade, several questions come to mind. I read that a budget of $43 ,000 has been set, of which Mr. Dupin receives none as he is paid by other means. Certainly there will be some expenses, hut $43,000 seems to be a hefty sum. I'm just wondering what expenses are so great that this amount is needed. The article goes on to say office space is being rented. Surely of all of the churches involved, I would think that at least one of them would volunteer space for this purpose to save money. Or perhaps some did and (for some reason) were turned down. Again, I'm just wondering. I applaud the effort to get more people interested in religious matters; certainly with the current world conditions we need to be looking to God more than ever. MorallY.• our nation is going· downhtll, a deplorable and sad thing to admit. But as to the crusade. I'm curious about still other things. Since a number of churches are involved, there must also be a number of faiths or beliefs which differ in con· tent. Some have books of doctrine which state their beliefs. Now I know that not all manuals are the same either. So I"m wondering, if they can't agree on doctrine, what can Clyde Dupin say that will "please" them all? According to the article in the Tribune, Clyde Dupin is "America's straight-talking evangelist." rm cur. us about what he will offer those who come to hear him. Will he offer "the sinner's prayer" (not found in the Bible)? Will he offer "faith only" (James 2:17, 20, 24) or "just believe" (James 2: 19)? Or will he dare to preach the gospel in its fullness and punty? This would be with nothing added or left out. (Galatians 1:6-9). God is not willing that anyone should perish (2 Peter 3:9), so he has given us His written word (Bible) for us to study so that we may know his will and not be fooled into believing something false. We are to "try" these religions to see if they come from God, to see tf they match what God's Word tells us (I John 4: I). In the Bible are examples of those who accepted salvation . The best-known examples are Saul of Tarsus (Acts 22, especially verses 10 and 16) and the Ethiopian church eunuch (Acts 8:34-38). To fo llow their examples wi II lead us to a home with God . As I say, I'm curiou s about many things. I wonder how many people wi ll do what pleases themselves, rather than what pleases God (Matthew 13 :15, 16; James I :22). The Bible tells us in John I 2:48 that he will be judged by these words. Again, I'm curious. How many people will use the Bible to see what meets with God's approval? There are many sincere preachers in the world, but they can be sincerely mistaken (Galatians I :6-8). It is of great importance that we use God's Word to prove all religious matters, to see if the authority for practices comes from man or God. It will make a great difference for all eternity when we stand before our God! Again, I'm wondering. Is anyone else curious? If so, speak up! This is America where freedom of speech is our right! Juanita Wood Gallipolis. Ohio Just how pTF[XlYf!d? Dear Editor: Ms. Pearce expressed the feelings of most of us very accurately in her article which appeared in the Sunday paper. AEP deserves praise for working long and diligently towards getting the electric back to as many homes as possible. Those in charge of phones, etc., also worked hard and long, with the exception of Buckeye Electric. I know for a fact several people called them and each one was told the same thing, "Nobody has reponed any outages in that area." One person on Kemper Hollow Road not only left a message, but spoke directly with a person, and they still claim they did not know about an outage. Seems like any time Buckeye customers lose their electric, they are in for a long wait before anything is done to restore it. Shouldn ' t there be more concern for its paymg customers? And another thing that di sturbs me. Just how prepared is our city in the eve nt of a major disaster? During this power outage, supplies of an_icles ~esperately needed · qutckly dtmtmshed. No batteries, no propane tanks, and even some food items were not available. News on our local radio station was virtually nonexistent. We listened to an hour"s worth of music to hear just a bit of local news when what we wanted was to hear progress reports, more information regarding our situation. And shelters? We coul d never handle the amount of people that would need shelter in a major catastrophe. Our shelters filled up so quickly there was no room left for anyone else to find a place whe re there was warmth, water and hot food. Holiday Inn comes in for some well -deserved praise also. for all owing people to stay in their banquet room for free. Just how well supplied would our city be in a major e mergency? Mrs. Lou Grubb Gallipolis, Ohio . Gwot.Amerimnspirit Dear Editor: During the recent devastating ice storm, several thou· sand residents and businesses in southeast Ohio lost electricity due to literally hundreds of downed power lines and poles in the service area of Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative alone. Some were fortunate enough to be without elec· tri city for a number of days, while others went without electric for a week or more. I too was without power for more than a week. During this crisis, I made it a point to witness some of the destruction caused by the storm. I came away from that experience wondering how my small electric co-op was ever going to overcome the task of restoring power to all of its customers not only here in Gallia County, but in the surrounding counties and service areas. As I am writing this letter, I understand the last few Buckeye customers without power are getting their power restored. I live near the Buckeye Rural office just south of Rio Grande. I was able to witness the impressive mobilization of personnel, equipment_and material. I also witnessed the weary but determined faces of the linemen as they restored power onejine and one pole at a time. I also had the opportunity to visit the Buckeye Rural office during this time and witnessed first hand the administration and support staff of Buckeye also working tirelessly, for long hours, addressing the customers' concerns, as well as ensuring the field staff had what they needed to get the job done. Ne~dles s to say, after seeing the ·devastation, the ice, snow, cold temperatures and the flooding , I was sure that most customers would be without power for considerable more time than we were . Therefore, I would like to commend the hard work and outstanding achievement of ·the men and women of my electric co-op. I was truly impressed wilh their deter· mination and hard work . The Buckeye crew and their sup· port perso nnel are examples that the "Great American Spirit" is alive and well in our community. I came away from thi s experience with th e idea no t to eve r take my electric service, or the professionals who de liver it to my ho me, wi th little or no fanfare, for granted agai n. I want to th ank the employees of Buckeye Rural for their hard work for restorin g my electri c power. and overco min g seem ing ly unsur· mountable odds in doing so. John E. Perry Patriot, Ohio Ashamed of reaction Dear Editor: What can happen that will cause "sane" people to turn on their fellow human beings; threats of violence and destruction? I have that answer: Power outage. I was upset with the stories · · circulating of the threats that were given to our electric ·:. company employees. Tell me, who actually believes that BREC/AEP were responsible for the ice storm .. that wreaked havoc and , :: destrucnon across our county · : and West Virginia? These men and wome n, some from other states, we re risking their lives to try and ·· restore power to us all. What thanks do they get? Evidently very few. There have been bomb threats, vandalism to equipment and gun threats given to the people - for what? They worked 16 to 18 hour days with little or no contact · : with their families to try and · ' restore power to some very ungrateful, wretched people. I was without power, in an all-electric mobile home. for I 2 days. What was my reac- •· tion when the "power guys" showed up to repair the dam· age infltcted by the ice storm? Pure joy. I took them each a candy · · bar (I couldn' t offer coffee) and thanked them for coming · out in that weather to fix my electric. I was stunned by the reaction I received when th ey told me that I was one of the few that had thanked them . Why? What are people thinking? Do they not realize that if it weren 't for these men and women, ·we would still be in the dark? I lost a deep freezer plus refrigeratorffreezer full of food. Is that the fault of BREC/AEP? No. They have gone above and beyond in their duties to help ensure that we would and will have our power restored. • I am deeply ashamed that we still have some Gallia . ' countians that would react :~· this way. What should you do? Next time you see a , power company employee, • offer to buy them a cup of coffee and more importantly, tell them thanks.

U.S. and key allies propose March 17 deadline for Saddam to disarm UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States, joined by key allies Britain and Spain, proposed delivering an ultimatum to Saddam Hussein : Give up banned weapons by March 17 or face war. But a powerful bloc of nations stood firm Friday against any new resolution that would authorize military action. With 250,000 allied troops poised to attack Iraq and the White House warning that time for diplomacy is running out, ·the 15-nation U.N. Security Council emerged even more polarized after Friday's high-stakes council meeting. Secretary of State Colin Powell told reporters the council would vote next week on the latest proposal, an amended U.S.-BritishSpanish resolution that paves the way for war. U.S. Ambassador John Negrofonte said he asked counci members "to be prepared to vote as early as Tuesday." French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin rejected the idea of a deadline and caTQt with his own plan: a summit at the U.N . Security Council with heads of state deciding the course of war and peace. But Powell dismissed the idea, saying he saw no need for one when key powers have been expressing their views "openly and candidly." Facing strong opposition to war, the United States and Britain hoped the offer of a deadline would win over undecided nations on the council. But there were no takers. Angola and Chile , for example, indicated afterward they might abstain. Pakistan also appeared to be leaning away from the U.S. position. For weeks, Washington's game plan has been to muster the nine votes necessary for the resolution's passage and then persuade permanent members France, Russia and China to abstain rather than wield their vetoes . But France and Russia warned Friday that they will do everything possible to prevent the resolution's adoption, and only Bulgaria joined the resolution 's sponsors in speaking up for the idea of a mise.

(AP) Cleveland first baseman Travis Hafner, acquired in November from Texas, was among seven players signed by the Indians to one-year con. tracts Friday. Every player on the Indians' 40-man roster, which includes 20 rookies, is signed for 2003. Hafner is battling Ben Broussard for. the starting first base job, which of.ened up when Indians' a! -time home run leader Jim Thome signed as a free agent with Philadelphia. The 26-yearold left-hander has . batted , .467 with two homers and five RB!s in seven games this spring. Also signed were rightbanders Jake Westbrook, David Riske and Chad Paronto; lefty Cliff Lee, infielder John McDonald and outfielder Coco Crisp. Tway takes the lead at Doral MIAMI (AP) - A reluctant change to the belly putter is starting to look like a brilliant decision by Bob Tway, who had a 4-under 68 on Friday to take a · onestroke lead in the Ford Championship at Dora!. Tway made the switch a month ago and is getting more comfortable each week. He had three birdies over his final five holes on a steamy afternoon in south Florida to surge into the lead at 11-under 133. Jim Furyk also closed strong with three straight birdies and a 6-foot par save on the 18th for a 6-under 66, putting him at 134. Carlos Franco (68) and first-round leader Rod Pampling (71) were another stroke back. The 36-hole lead is a rare position for Tway, a former PGA champion who hasn't won on· the PGA Tour in nearly eight years. He had a chance last year at Memorial, leading by one stroke going into the final round until he bogeyed the first two holes, shot 73 and finished three behind. "I didn't play good on Sunday a lot last year or I would have had a much better year," Tway said. " I think what happens is you haven't been in the hunt as often and you really would like to win, so you go out and try way too hard." Hannan's Mark Sabolsky (23) attempts to keep the ball out of the reach of Wahama's Stephen Roach (24) in Friday's Region 4 Sectional Final between inter-county rivals Wahama and Hannan. (Andre Tirado) Falcons win sectional BY GARY CLARK Sports correspondent POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - A standing-room only crowd at Point Pleasant Middle School witnessed a classic basketball contest Friday evening between a pair of Mason County rivals in the championship game of the Region 4. Section ll basketball tournament The Wahama White Falcons and Hannan Wildcats met on the hardwood for the second time this year with Coach James Toth's White Falcons holding off a fourth period Wildcat rally for the 58-49 sectional tourney crown. The sectional title was the Falcons' second in 10 seasons as Wahama extended its post-season play into next weeks Region IV outin~ at Capttal High School. The win also gtves the Bend Area squad an 11-11 record on the year while Hannan saw its season come to a disappointing conclusion with an impressive 11-5 mark. · Throughout the year Wahama has relied on the play of senior inside players Heath Rickard and Gable Lambert and Friday's sectional finals was no exception. Rickard scored 15 points with Lambert netting 10 markers in addition to grabbing a game high 18 rebounds but what may have been the difference in the game was the play of jumor, Aaron Faulk and senior Stephen Roach. . . Faulk drilled a trio of three point baskets and fmtshed wtth a team high 16 points with Roach notching 10 points and 10 rebounds for the White Falcons. "We knew we would have a good chance of winning if we could win the battle of the boards," a delighted WHS interim head coach James Toth said following the win. "We tried to play some man-to-man defense on them and attempt to keep the ball out of (Greg) Collins and (Timo) Krause's hands as much as possible. Coach Sayre and coach Howard did an excellent job with our preparations and we stuck to our game plan and it worked." Krause Jed all scorers in the contest with 20 points on the ni~t while Collins and Dillion Salbosky added nine points aptece for Hannan. Krause also led the Wildcats on the boards with 13 while Salbosky hauled down 10 boards for coach Wayne Richardson's charges. "We weren ' t very sharp tonight," a disappointed Richardson stated. "We stood around and watched entirely too much. They (Wahama) did an awfully good job playing defense on Greg (Collins) but I think we ask and expect too much of him. He's the best number two guard in the state and we can't rlay him there because we need him to handle the basketbal for us."

(Andre Tirado) RIO GRANDE, Ohio -· The University of Rio Grande Redmen baseball team swept a doubleheader in their home opener on Friday afternoon at Robert L. Evans Field, 8-6 and 10-5 over Taylor University. Rio Grande (3-3) made the most of its opportunitie.s, scoring twice in the first inning when junior firsl baseman Jarred Haines flared a two-run single into left field. The Redmen added a pair of runs in the second inning to make the score 4-0. Marcus Goolsby and Scott Peterman scored on a fielder's choice and throwing error. H.A. Scott stroked an RBI double in the fifth inning for Rio's last run. Rio Grande notched eight hits with Goolsby going 2for-3. Taylor (0-2) broke through against Rio starter Jason Williams (1-0) in the fourth inning. The Trojans added three runs in the fifth and scored single runs in the sixth and seventh. Cory Neuenschwander had a big day with three hits and an RBI. . Sam Jones (0-1) took thl: loss for Taylor. Williams, from Jackson, Ohio, pitched five innings and yielded four runs (three earned) for the win. Taylor scored three runs in the first inning of game two off Rio starter Dustin Gibbs of Vinton, who struggled, walking six in one-plus inning. The Redmen fought back, scoring seven times in the third inning, chasing Trojan starter Kenny Miller (0-1).

Diego Padres lost another key playe r to lllJUry. Ken Griffey Jr. showed he's still got plenty or power. San Diego slugger Phil Nevin dislocated hi s left shoulder Friday whil e making a diving catch in left field during a 2-0 loss lo the Ch1cago While Sox in Tuc son, Ariz. It was the second di sheartening injury this spnng for the Padres, who will be without All-Star closer Trevor Hoffman for at least the first half of the season while he recovers from shoulder surgery. " I'm sick to my stomach ," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It 's devastating. It started with Trevor and now Phil." Griffey hit three homers, including a grand slam , and drove in six runs to lead the Cincinnati Reds over the Pittsburgh Pirates 11 -5 in a split-squad game at Bradenton, Fla. Griffey has four home runs in 16 at-bats this spring. Hampered by a hamstring injury, he hit just eight homers last season. "It 's spring training and all I want to do is hit the ball hard," he said. "It's good to hit three home runs in any game, but the objective down here is just to hit the ball hard.' Nevin was in obvious pain as trainers from both dugouts and teammates ran to his aid in the outfield. · He stayed on the ground for several minutes before being helped off the field. X-rays were negative, and he was to undergo further tests Saturday in Phoenix. Nevin, who was shifted to the outfield this season, batted .306 with 41 homers and 126 RBl s in 2001. He missed 35 games last year with a broken left arm and had only 12 home runs and 57 RBis. Before this spring, Nevin had not played the outtleld since 1999. He was replaced by Brian Buchanan. "Him and (Ryan Klesko) and (Hoffman) are the leaders of this clubhouse," Buchanan said. "It's tough on the whole team." Bartolo Colon pitched four hitless innings and Sandy Alomar homered for the White Sox. Griffey hit two solo shots off Kris Benson, expected to be Pittsburgh's opening day starter. He gave up four runs, five hits and four walks over three innings in his first appearance .of the spring.

(Madmum roster:8men & 8~~Cmen) • Rain or shUlc ·Games begin at 8a.m. · • Dooble elimination Associaled Press Takeo Spikes wanted out of Cincinnati. Peerless Price wanted to go to Atlanta. The Buffalo Bills made both players happy Friday. Ftrst, the Bills traded Price to Atlanta, giving the Falcons the speedy wide receiver they desperately craved. In return, Buffalo got back one of the first-round draft choices it surrendered last year for Drew Bledsoe, the 23rd overall. Then the Bills got Spikes, one of the NFL's unsung Iinebacking stars, to sign an offer sheet. He was made a transition player by the hapless Bengals but has made it clear he wanted to be elsewhere. The Bengals have a week to match the offer. Team spokesman Jack Brennan said they would study it and had no funher comment. In another move of note, the New York Giants released comerback Jason Sehorn, who has been slowed by a series of knee problems over the past few seasons. Sehorn, due a $1 million reponing bonus on Monday, had been given the choice of taking a major salary cut or bein~ released. Atlanta was delighted to get Price, whose 94 receptions last season were 38 more than Atlanta's leading receiver, Brian Finneran. Atlanta is likely to throw a lot more with Price as a target for Michael Viele. "1lris gentleman," Falcons' owner Anhur Blank said of Price, "adds a dimension that we didn't have last year. Mike is only goinjl to get better." Price agreed to a seven-year deal. Tun McGee, his agent, said the total deal was wonh between $35 million and $40 million with a signing bonus of $10 million. In a related move, the Bills re-signed veteran receiver Charles Johnson. Johnson. who had just three receptions last season, could compete for the No. 3 job behind Eric Moulds and Josh Reed, who will take Price's staning spot. Philadelphia, meanwhile, signed fonner Oakland fullback Jon Ritchie. · The New York Jets cut punter Matt TUrk and the Giants officially signed punter Jeff Feagles, .whose signing had been announced earlier this week. Oeveland re-signed defensive tackle Alvin McKinley. Sehorn's release had been expected- either now or after June I. He was known for spectacular plays, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown in a playoff game against Philadelphia in 2000, catching the ball on his back, then getting up and runnmg 32 yards to the end zone. But after signing a six-year de_al . after that season, he was continually lro!Jbled by knee mJunes. "At many times throughout his career, Jason was an outstanding player for us," said coach Jim Fassel, who called the play against the Eagles "one of the greatest individual athletic plays I have ever seen." : ..But Fassel added: "All good things come to an end, and I wish Jason nothing but the best."

My husband died two years ago after a long illness and crushing medical expenses. I can no longer care for our property as we II as I once could and would like to sell it and move to town to be closer to my stores, my doctors and church. The problem is that my oldest son, "Doug," who has lived many states away for 25 years, wants the property. He want! me to stay here until he retires -- which would be several years from now. From time to time, Doug has helped me out financially, and that makes me feel obhgated. My other two children know what an awful time I'm having making ends meet. They think I should sell now if that's what I want. It's lonely here and winters are bad. I would like to sell as soon as possible and repay Doug the money he has gtven me. When Doug learned what I wanted to do, he said some nasty things about me to the other two -- and to some friends of the family. It was very hurtful. I have prayed about this, and hope no one else has to bear this kind of worry when they get old. I Dear Abby ADVICE Please tell me what to do. HURT AND LOST IN INDIANA DEAR - HURT AND LOST: Under no circumstances should you continue to live in a place where you feel lonely and isolated. You must do what is right for YOU. First on that list should be to get an appraisal of your property from a reputable company. Your lawyer or your banker can recommend one. After that, inform your children what the asking price will be. If Doug wants to buy it, fine. If not, put it on the market. DEAR ABBY: I am a 27year-old single mother of an 11-year-old boy.

City hunts funds for access road BY KEVIN Keuv News editor GALLIPOLIS, Ohio Completion of the Gallipolis access road's',Jisecond J?hase will require almost $4 mrllion from federal sources, according to current estimates city officials have submitted to Washington and the state. The job is expected to cost at the high end about $4.7 million, with $3.8 million requested from Congress over the next two years, City ·Manager Bob Gordon said. An initial query for $1.5 million in the national transportation reappropriations bill will be made by U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland for 2003. Estimates and criteria about the need for the project were in the congressman's hands by Friday. The second phase of the project, known as Farm Road, will extend from the first section's end at GKN Sinter Drive to Mill Creek Road. Traffic would then access the downtown by using the upper end of Second Avenue to Sycamore Street. "That may require some development, but that's addressed in the cost," Gordon said. Gordon and city officials met recently with Ohio Department of Transportation .Dislri~:t ..

Funding possibilities were examined during the meeting, in which support for the project was restated. If all of the money sources are lined up, the city looks to construction on the stretch by 2005 at the earliest. "While it was pinpointed as a continuation of the access road, it still represents flood mitigation on the local level," · Gordon said. "It would allow access to the east end in case of a flooding incident." The road was proposed after flooding in March 1997 cut off access for employees to the GKN, then BorgWarner Automotive, plant and affected passage on Eastern Avenue.

For example, local governments typically receive 4.6 percent of the state's personal income tax payments. In 2000, Meigs County received $592,315.15 in local government funds, and in 2001, $593,202.04. Last year, due to the freeze and adjustments made each March and July, the county received $30,000 less than in 200 I. As the result of local government revenue cuts from last year, dwindling revenue from real estate and personal property tax collections and a drop in interest paid on cuunty investments, commissioners imposed 15 percent across the board culs in all 2003 county office appropriations. Now, commissioners say the proposed cuts could create significant problem s in meeting the budget commission's 2003 projected revenue, on which the county's general fund budget is based. "If these latest estimates as to the amount of cuts in local government revenue are correct, and they probably are, we're going to face a significant gap in what we have to work with for the rest of the year," Davenport said. "Our budget is based on a calendar year, rather than a fiscal year, and some adjustments may be necessary in order to balance our budget for the . remainder of the year if these cuts take place," he added.
