REED Staff writer POMEROY- Two Meigs County sheriff's deputies and a Pomeroy Police officer remain hospitalized in intensive care after becoming ill at the scege of a drug investigation in Minersville late Sunday. Sheriff Ralph Trussell said Monday a special team from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is in Meigs County in an attempt to determine what caused Deputies Kevin Dugan and BY ANDRE TIRADO 1·1.01 HOW COULD WE ~AVE i..OST THE FIRST GAME Of T~E SEASON 50 CENTS • Vol. 53, No. 142 Adam Smith to become ill after stopping a vehicle they suspected was being used as a methamphetamine laboratory. Smith and Dugan, Pomeroy Patrolman Gene Chaney all remain in intensive care at Pleasant Valley Hospital in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Hospital spokesperson Amy Leach said all three are in stable condition and are expected to be moved from intensive care to private hospital rooms later today. Trussell said the cause of the officers ' illness is a mys- tery. Trussell said Dugan and Smith had been waiting on Ohio 124 a t Minersville for a vehi cle they Truasell suspected was being used for the manufacture and transport of methamphetamine, an addictive stimulant drug made in illegal laboratones. When the car was spotted at the inter- section of East Main Street and Nye Avenue, deputies stopped the car. Trussell said Dugan entered the vehicle to begin a search for drugs and drug manufacturing tool s and immediately became nauseated . Both he and Smith, who suffered similar symptoms, were transported from the scene to the Point Pleasant hospital, and Chaney, who transported one of three subjects arrested, was later hospitalized. Donald T. Francis, 33, of Racine; Terry L. Glispie, 41, of Circleville, and Lois A. Davi s, 44, also of Circleville, were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, a fifth-degree felony. They were arraigned before Judge Steven L. Story late Monday. All three remain in custody. Trussell declined to comment on the specific nature of the officers illnesses. He did say, however, that authorities, including the BCI hazardous materials team which began its investigation Monday, are puzzled. "We're frankly not sure what caused the officers to get sick," Trussell said. "This team from BCI is certified to inspect meth labs and other hazardous materials situations, so we hope they can determine what happened." Francis' vehicle , a Middleport police cruiser used to transport one of the subjects, and an emergency squad used to transport Dugan and Smith to the hospital have been quarantined, Trussell said, as part of the BCI investigation. Man's mock lures bring , amusement Astrograph Tuesday. March ll , 2003 Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio Staff wr~er HARTFORD With everything happening in the world right now, there has to be a little room for laughter. At least, that's what Hartford 's Jack Propp had in mind when he designed his mock fishing lures that would give fisherman a new reason to lament, "the one that got away." ,.. l'.rop.p:s lure stiinds "Sl!v'etf ft!'~. two inches tall aqd weighs 52 pounds. Not exactly practical, but an interesting hobby and a great conversation piece. "It took me a period of weeks to make it," said Propp. "There had to be a mold made so the lead could be poured. It's stainless steel construction and the blades aluminum, just like a regular fishing lure." Propp dec lares that even with its exaggerated dimensions, the I ure would work if dragged through the water. "It actually would work if you had something to pull it," said Propp. Propp said that the hobby began about 20 years ago when Propp made his first lure as a Christmas present for a friend couldn't find exactly what he wanted. "I think that was the best Christmas present anr, body could have had, ' said Propp. Since that first lure, Propp 's creations have just gotten bigger and better. "My next challenge is to make a larger size lure," said Propp. ''I'm going to make it twice the size of the one I have now." Propp said that one of the things he enjoys most about making the lures is the reactions he often gets when people see them for the first time. .. __ "There was a ~''tih'ilt got lost and found !lis way out to my pond, so he came down and asked me where he was. "When he saw the fishing lure, he asked what it was for and I said, that's just for the blue gills," Propp said. "I got a pretty good reaction out of him." Propp said that the lures mostly stay at his house but sometimes he takes them around to show to friends. "You'd be really surprised at some of the reactions you get from kids," • he said. "It tickles them to death." Propp describes himself as an avid fisherman himself with a pond stocked with blue gill , catfish and bass on his 3.8 acre home. "I don ' t really fish for catfish though," said Propp. "I don 't like to even touch them ."

POMEROY- An upscale restaurant on the Ohio River at Pomeroy that will seat more than 200 people has begun construction. The Wild Horse Cafe will serve premi urn food in a southwestern atm<ipphere. The developers of the project, Dorothy and Horace Karr, said the 6,000 square foot facility will be open for dining in the late summer. The Wild Horse Cafe will feature a I 04-foot riverfront veranda that will seat 50, a lOO~foot boat docking facility with stairs to the main building , and a meeting room that will accommodate 70. The restaurant will have 138 seats in non-smoking and 60 in smoking. There will be windows across the back of the one-story structure so patrons will have a good view of the river. The Wild Horse will employ 54 people. The locatiOn is diagonally across from the Meigs County Chamber of . Commerce office and will provide a spectacular view of the new Pomeroy-Mason bridge . The restaurant is being built on West Main Street on land purchased by the Karrs from John Fultz of Middleport. Buildings on the land which housed several .businesses during the years were torn down several months ago. Horace Karr said the place would be similar to Applebee 's or Ruby Tuesday 's. Karr hopes to create a restaurant where the people of Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties can enjoy fine food without having to drive to Athens or Parkersburg, W.Va. Perry Varnadoe, Meigs economic . development director, said a lot of research went into the decision to build the restaurant. He noted that millions of dollars leave the county when people travel elsewhere to eat. An Ohio State University study showed $1.5 million leaves Meigs County and $3 million leave Mas!Jn County each year. Meigs students to attend into June BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY Meigs County students will be attending school into June this year. Because of the February snow and ice storms that caused school closings, the school district's calendar was revised by the board of education Monday night. Superintendent William Buckley reported that school has been dismissed a total of 12 days because of bad weather. The state allows five days, which means the students will have to make up seven days. To get in the required days, the board voted to change the last day of school for all students lo June 3 with the exception of those who attend the Pomeroy Elementary School. Those students were out 13 days will have June 4 as the last day. High school graduation was changed from May 23 to June 6. There was so me discussion on the possibility of the State Legislature recommending additional calamity days. Such legislation would need to have Gov. Taft's approval and be accepted by the State Board of Education. "I don't look for the state to act favorably on the legislation," said Buckley. "I think there 's a ge neral feeling that if you miss the days, you have to make them up." Personnel action Several coaching positions were filled during the meeting.

Middleport council approves budget cuts ' BY BRIAN J. REED Staff writer • . MIDDLEPORT - Citing cuts in state funds to local governments and the anticipated loss in income tax revl)nue due to this year's closing of Middleport schools, Middleport Village Council approved 20 percent cuts for ff\OSt departmental budgets Monday evening. Sandy While Mayor Iannarelli urged council to ~arefully consider any cuts before imposing them, Council President Stephen Houchins, who serves as chairman of council's fmance committee, recommended the cuts after the third and final reading of the village's 2003 1.<\X budget. The cuts in appropriations will affect the safety department, which funds the village police defartment, and the budgets o council, the clerk, and those line items which provide office supplies and other consumables for all village operations. The safety department will lose $60,000 m operating funds this year under the new cuts. and along with other village departments, such as the street department, could see layoffs later. in the year if spending is not carefully monitored, Houchins said. "It's important that we make the cuts now, so we're prepared for what happens later in the year," Houchins said. "If deJ?artment heads keer. money m their budgets until the end of the year, they'll be able to keep people on the job. If not, there may be some layoffs at the end of the yeat." Fiscal Officer Susie French said department heads must closely monitor their wage appropriations and be espeCially careful of overtime expenditures. Council unanimously rejected a request from Rumpke Waste of Wellston for a 2 percent increase in the monthly refuse contract. The firm requested the raise to compensate for increasing fuel costs, Iannarelli said. Other action Council also: • Approved the mayor's report of tines collected in the amount of $3,398, and the payment of bills in the amount of $21,048.20; • Approved hiring of Don Hysell as village mechanic; • Authorized the Board of Public Affairs to purchase a new one-half ton, four wheeldrive pickup truck, at an estimated cost of $19,000, with council members Roger Manley and Kathy Scott voting in opposition. Also present were Council members Bob Pooler, Robert Robinson and Linda Haley.

Oil, gas industry gets two-year break from storm water permits WASHINGTON (AP) Developers of oil and gas sites across the c\)untry will have at least two more years before they are n:quined to get new stonn water permits intended to protect fish, wildlife and people. A Clinton administration regulation went into effect on Monday, expanding the storm water pennitting program to construction sites that disturb I to 5 acres. The Environmental Protection Agency said it was postponing the requirements for oil and gas construction until March 2005 because it wants more time to evaluate the impacts on the industry. The permits were intended to help prevent contamination of stonn water runoff from small areas used for oil and gas exploration and production. They also would have applied to the smaller pipelines that move oil and gas from the wells to batteries, processing facilities and storage tanks in the field and then feed into the major transmission pipelines. Bush administration officials said the Clinton-era EPA had assumed that few, if any, oil and gas sites or pipelines would be affected. They said that since 1999, when EPA published a final rule expanding the program, the agency has learned that close to 30,000 oil and gas sites per year may have to comply with the new storm water regulations. •• view on an old television console commercial s that were hosted by Bob and Jewell Evans in their own kitchen, see through the lens of an actual television camera of the era a setting of Bob and Jewell "at work" filming the ads and tour many other displays which form a life-sized "scrapbook or the business." Much of the museum will also focus on the history of the house, farm and area, to acquaint visitors with the history of Gallia County and other regional historic points of interest. Themes such as the Underground Railroad, river history and Welsh heritage will be included. Finally, visitors will be able to acquaint themselves with the Evans family through a photo display featuring their lifestyle on the farm. Everything from holiday festivities to personal farming, business and conservation activities will offer an inside look at one of Ohio's most famous business families.

Consequently, it's been tough for stockowners and income-oriented investors. If you fall into either of those groups - and most people do - you may be wondering what to do. You can't control market volatility or the movement of interest rates. But you can create a "remvery plan" that will allow you to make the best of your situation - and, in the process, make progress toward your financial goals. What, specifically, can you do? Here are some suggestions: • Put your losses to work. Your investment losses are taxdeductible, to a point You can use your capital losses to offset any capital gains you have, plus up to $3,000 of other income, including earned income. So, for example, if you realized a $1,000 capital gain this year from selling stocks of other appreciated investments, you could write off up to $4,00) in losses. And you can carry forward any "excess" losses to future years. • Rebalance your portfolio. Your investment portfolio may have become ''unbalanced" and you might not be aware that it happened. For example, if your stockS have declined sharply, then bonds or other fixed-income instruments may now make up a larger percentage of your portftr lio's total value than you had ori~yin~.

You may be better off by building a ''bond ladder." To create a bond ladder, you invest in an anay of short-, intennediare- and longterm high guality bonds. When rates are rismg, you use the proceeds from your maturing bonds to buy new bonds at the higher levels. When market rates are falling, you'll continue to benefit from the higher ~rates offered by your longer-term bonds. OVer time, a well-structured bond ladder can help you stabilize the income you receive from your fix.ed income portfolio. • Swap for quality.

Post. 011 Gov. Jeb Bush's loyalty: The National Governors Assoc iation is a very exclusive club. Membership is limited to 50.• and every one has to win a state election. The members , now split 26-24 between Republicans and Democrats. tend to be all for one and one for all for the good of their states. Except one. Gov. Jeb Bush is the club malcontent. Other members generally agree that they need more help from Washington to pay for Medicaid, homeland security and President Bush 's "No Child Left Behind" school law. Collectively, states face a $30 billion shortage in this year's bupgets and $82 billion next year. Instead of hitting up President Bush for a handout, Gov. Bush says, they should be helping him reform Medicaid and Medicare. Anything else, he preaches, amounts to "big government." That's a pretty bossy attitude to take with 49 people who seem to understand who voted for them and why. It's also premature to make the comment while President Bush's plans are incomplete. He heard that his original ideas won ' t work and won't fly in Congress. President Bush didn't offer more money for Medicaid, which the states administer. Half to three-fourths of the money for the program is federal; the percentage varies by state. Instead, the president offered "flexibility" in spending it. That means: When an elderly woman has to be told to cut her blood pressure medication in half - the example comes from Arkansas' Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, who said he won't do it - don 't blame the president. Blame the 50 governors. One is eager to take the blame. A man will do that for his brother. SPEAK OUT I' m a taxpayer in Meigs County and I'd like to know why, if we 're so broke, we have $2.3 million in delinquent taxes and there 's approximately 17 people who owe $700,000 in delinquent taxes, and why this hasn't been acted upon. Foreclosures haven't been acted upon since 1994, and I'd like to see an answer to that question if it can be done, ... I read in the Friday, March 7, paper where CIC is trying to build a new Community Improvement Corporation building with the hopes somebody will rent it. It says it will cost around a million dollars. Why don't they take that million dollars to try to get a medical facility in the old VMH building on Mulberry Heights? I think we would profit more from a hospital or emergency room than a million-dollar building sitting vacant like some other buildings around Meigs County. Beyond the fate Regardless of what happens to Miguel Estrada's nomination to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Judiciary Committee member Charles Schumer (DN.Y.), who is spearheading the campaign to prevent the entire Senate from voting on the nomination, Without a fil. ibuster, has been preening on television that he has read the Federalists Papers. But, in No. 76 of that guide to the framers' intentions, Alexander Hamilton plainly stated that the president is "bound to submit the propriety of his choice to the discussion and determination of a different and independent body, and that body an entire branch of the legislature." In case the fulsome Schumer missed that page, Hamilton, in No. 77, said again, just as clearly, that "each nomination" must be submitted to "an entire branch of the legislature." However, the passion Schumer and his bristling Judiciary Committee allies, such as Richard Durbin (DIll.), have displayed has nothing to do with historical research. They are pursuing a grand Democratic plan to so frustrate the president that he will henceforth send up only nominees that will appease the committee's lockstep Democrats, along with the law professors who have been advising them on how to rig the confirmation process.

Those who fear more Antonin Scalias on the federal bench seem oblivious to the ·fact that, when the White House and Congress are again in Democratic hands, minority Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee pointing to the present full scale obstructionist precedent - will apply the same scorched-earth tactics. With regard to the ostensible principal charge against Miguel Estrada, ·that he did not answer all the Democratic Senators' questions to their satisfaction, I recommend to historian Schumer what President Abraham Lincoln said when Salmon P. Chase - an opponent of Lincoln for the 1860 Republican nomination -was nominated by Lincoln as chief justice of the Supreme Court: "We cannot ask a man what he will do (on the Court), and if we should, and he .should answer us, we should despise him for it." The Senate as a whole confirmed Chase. Regarding the Democrats praise he received for hi s legal expertise and character from former Democratic ·' Solicitor Generals Seth Waxman and Drew Days Ill , each of whom Estrada served under. By now, Estrada's name is- through much of the media - connected with evasion and suspected rigid conservatism. Walter Dellinger, also a former Democratic solicitor general, wrote in the Washington Post that "one wonders how much longer many lawyers of any distinction will even agree to have their names submitted for a process that is so uncertain , disruptive and perilous to reputation." During the delaying process on the Estrada nomination on the Senate tloor. which Senate Minority Leader Tom DaschJe has authorized, Tom Harkin (Dlowa) said that he "never met (Estrada). But I know people who have associated with him ... think he is some kind of right-wing kook .. Is he a right~wing kook? I don't know. Some people · say he is." This is not the quality of debate on which James , Madison took notes during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. If I were teaching civics in a high school, ., I'd bring to class the · · Congressional Record on the Estrada nomination debate, ~ and implore the students to ' take their res~onsibility as voters very senously, There's probably not much that President Bush can say or do to convince the world's population and most Democrats - that he's not a reckless and arrogant foreign policy cowboy. He's just going to have to win the Iraq war in short order and with minimai casualties, hope that Iraqis dance in the streets, and then start swiftly building democracy in the Middle East. 'This isn'i a popularity contest. It's a test of leadership," the White House's chief of global communications, Tucker Eskew, told me in an interview. "You have to bring people around by getting results," he said. "You have to be consistent with your message, so when you do get results people can put it into a framework." By results, Eskew said, he means "disarming Saddam Hussein and promoting libeny in an area of the world that's known precious little of it." Eskew's office, created last September as the Iraq policy debate erupted, was made permanent in a Bush executi ve order in January. The office is a descendant of the Coalition Information Center that successfully countered anti-U.S . the propaganda during Afghanistan conflict. Eskew, who was communications director of Bush 's 2000 South Carolina primary campaign, now coordinates the daily communications on the Iraq crisis that emanate from various government ag,encies. He also performs Morton Kondracke mid-range message planning and develOJ?S long-range strategy. He inststs that the administration has studiously timed and energetically executed its information strategy, includin~ the buildup to Bush's pursun of Congressional authorization, his United Nations strategy. and, lately, the unveiling of his post-war humanitarian and Middle East democracy initiatives. "We haven't been responding to criticism," he said, disputing the Democrats' claim that it was their pressure that forced the administration to take the Iraq issue to the United Nations and develop plans for governing Iraq after a conflict. "This is all the result of a ion ~, · detailed process of mteragency thought and planning. It would not have been appropriate to lay out our humanitarian initiative earlier." Despite undeniably insistent administration efforts to sell admini stration policy, the evidence suggests that the sales job has largely failed to convince world public opinion and domestic skeptics. In late February, for instance, a poll for The Sunday Times of London found that when British citizens were asked who was the greatest threat to world J?CBce. 45 percent named Hussem and 45 percent named Bush. By a margin of 47 percent to 23 percent, respondents agreed that the United States is "a bully that wants to dominate the world" rather than "a force for good." A Pew Research Center poll last November found that in France, Germany and Russia, the majority of citizens beljeve that the prime U.S. ainl in Iraq is control of its oil. In the United States, polls consistent! y show that about 60 percent of Americans support Bush's policy. But a January poll by Public Opinion Strategies showed that "core" Democratic primary voters have views similar to those prevailing in Europe. Fifty-etght percent of these voters believe that Bush is after Iraq's oil. Sixty-two percent say he's trying to make up for the fact that his father failed to overthrow Hussein in 1991. And 61 percent say he's try ing to draw attention away from a failed economv. Such views put ieftward pressure on Democratic presidential candidates, all of whom have to find something negative to say about Bush's foreign policy. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean refers to Bush's policy as "reckless," and even Sen. Joe Lieberman, who suppons Bush on Iraq, accuses him of "engaging the world too haphazardly, too arrogant!v and too belated! y."

Lieberman also jabbed, "When more people around the world see (Bush) as a greater threat to peace than Saddam Hussein, then you know something is really wrong with our foreign policy." Eskew professes to see progress in British polls that show slight increases in supP?rt for the Iraq war- though tt' s contingent on a U.N . · authorization of war. He also points to declarations of support from governments in 30-odd countries, including Britain, Spain, Italy, Australia and most countries in Eastern Europe and the Persian Gulf. The Bush administration is also trying to improve America's image with a music-and-politics radio station beamed to the Arab world and a proposed Arab satellite network. In the short run, top U.S. officials are working at a frenetic pace to set up interviews with foreign medm outlets in an attempt to better explain the U.S, policy. In the end, though, what counts is whether the United States wins a clean victory in Iraq and uncovers a vast cache of tllegal weapons, and if it can set up a stable government.

And silence is the only honorable response to certain questions. It is quite improper for nominees to commit themselves on cases that could come before them." Questions such as, What do you think of Roe v. Wade? "Not knowing what sort of judge someone will be is frustrating," Wittes continued. "B,ut that is the price of judicial independence." As part of this blocking of Sen. Durbin Estrada, accused him of refusing to tell him which federal judges, living or dead, he admires. But in answer to Durbin's written questions, Estrada named Supreme Court justices Lewis Powell and Anthony Kennedy, as well as Amalya Kearse. Judge Kearse of the · 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals was, I was told, on the short list years ago for an appointment to the ' Supreme Court. But apparently she was too independent for President Clinton. I have considerable respect for her judicial record. Does that make me a right-winger'!

Buckeyes lo$e, but may get NCAA berth INDIANAPOLIS (AP) · Mary Jo Noon's career has been defined by injuries and championships. There have been too many of the former, but there, are never enough banners to raise at Purdue. Noon and Shereka Wright each scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as No. 10 Purdue beat No. 22 Ohio State 67-65 Monday night to win the Big Ten women's basketball tournament. It was the seventh straight season the Boilermakers have been the conference's rejlular-season or tournament champiOns. "I wanted to come out and prove to everybody that we are the best team in the Big Ten," Noon said. "I'm a senior and you don't want to lose. My teammates did a great job getting the ball inside, and I think that's all about determination and hard work. I wanted it more than the other team." Noon redshirted her freshman year and was on the bench when Purdue won the 1999 national championship. She tore her anterior cruciate ligament during the 2000-0 I season, missed 18 games and barely played in the Final Four. Still, she's been a part of six championships. When she's healthy, Noon gives the Boilermakers a sorely needed inside presence. Against Ohio State, Noon had seven offensive rebounds and shot 9-for-16 from the floor. "I'm dated for the team and the program, to continue the streak, especially for Mary Jo Noon," Purdue coach Kristy Curry said. "She did tonight what all good seniors do. She stepped forward when we needed her." The third-seeded Boilermakers (26-5) won the tournament for the fourth time - but frrst since 2000 - and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the I Oth straight season. Purdue will host first- and second-round games at Mackey Arena. Caity Matter led fourth-seeded Ohio State (22-8) with 21 points, and Kim Wilburn had 16. The Buckeyes will likely get an atlarge berth under first-year coach Jim Foster. The Buckeyes had a chance to tie or win on their last possession, but Wilburn took a 3-pointer and couldn't get off a good shot. She put up an airball and the ball went out of bounds with three-tenths of a second left. "I think I made a mental mis· take," Wilburn said. "We were Please IH OSU, B3 HUNTINGTON, W.Va.

"They got all the rebounds, but we got the ones that counted down the stretch," said Marshall coach Greg White. Marshall started the game by missing seven of its first eight shots and Eastern Michigan's inside game dominated from the start. Prillman made a three-point play after a layup for a 13-2 lead five minutes into the contest. Marshall brought in two of its heaviest players, LaVar Carter and Serge Babo. to try to break Eastern ·Michigan's inside grip, and it worked. The Eagles went scoreless for three minutes and Marshall went on a 9-0 run for a 30-29 lead with 2:12 left until halftime. "When they came in, they controlled the paint, They were in there fighting for rebounds," Wright said. "They are so big that they can just knock guys out of the way." . For Babo, a 6-foot-9 sophomore transfer from Ohio University, it was his first action of the season. He sat out the first 25 games after the NCAA ruled he received improper benefits. Marshall's Marvin Black did not play in the second half after hurting his knee on a dunk just before halftime. Reds notebook Cincinnati takes down Baltimore SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Jimmy Haynes, Cincinnati's projected openin~ day starter, allowed one run on five hits in four mnings Monday as a Reds' split-squad team defeated Baltimore, 7-4.

Reggie Taylor saved Haynes by runmng down long fly balls to right center by Marty Cordova and left center by Melvin Mora. Sidney Ponson pitched four shutout innings a~ainst the Reds. Ponson has allowed one run in rune innings over three spring starts. · The right-hander allowed just a triple to Wily Mo Pena leading off the third inning . Pena was erased on a fielder's choice when Haynes grounded to short with one out. Pena was hit in the head in his next at-bat by Sean Douglas. He was removed for a pinch runner, Juan Thomas, who scored on a double by Juan Castro. Douglas took the loss, allowing six runs in two · innings. Pena was removed from the game, but appeared not to have been hurt. "He was hit in the back of the head . It didn't get much beirne!," Reds manager Bob Boone said. The Reds scored four runs in the sixth. Jason LaRue and Reggie Taylor walked around a groundrule double by Adam Dunn. Steve Smitherman grounded to short and was credited with a RBI when Mora made an error. Juan Castro's double-play ground ball allowed Dunn to score.

Make most of those games against possible Western Conference playoff teams and, by the end, that streaking team could be struggling. But the Minnesota Tjmberwolves didn't let it h!lppen, not even after losing the first three. Kevin Garnett had 31 points and 18 rebounds, and Wally Szczerbiak scored eight straight points during a tense part of the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Dallas Mavericks 92-83 Monday night to return home on a two-game winning streak. "Our road trip was difficult," Garnett said. "But we won the last two games and that made it decent." ·The Timberwolves have won 21 of 27, including 17 straight at home. They return to the Target Center on Thursday night against another tough foe, San Antonio. "Thts team is focused and doing what we need to do," said Szczerbiak, who beat D<dlas the last time the teams met by hitting abuzzer-beating jumper. "Guys just want to fight and compete." In other NB A games, Utah beat Miami 83-73 and Atlanta defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 95-86. Mmnesota showed no tired legs, even though it played in Phoenix the night before. The Wolves scored the game's first eight points and their tough defense forced the Mavericks to miss their first nine shots. The tight defense continued, holding Dallas to seasonlow point totals after one (II), iwo (33) and three quarters (55). The 83 points were 29 below the Mavs' league-leading average. But they finally got going in the fourth, just when Minnesota started slowing down, and consecutive 3pointers by Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley tied it at 71 with 5:191eft. Szczerbiak had protected the lead with a jumpc_;r in the lane between Dallas 3s. Then he put Minnesota back ahead with a 3 of his own. Finley got Dallas within one with a nice layup off an inbounds pass, but Szczerbiak drilled another 3-pointer and the Timberwolves weren't challenged again, ending Dallas' four-game winning streak. "I just remember hitting a bunch of shots at the end," Szczerbiak said, unable to recall the particulars of his clutch hot stretch. "I was so focused." Timberwolves point guard Troy Hudson, who had 31 points in his last game in Dallas, had nine points and II assists and Rasho Nesterovic had II points and a careerbest nine blocks. The Mavericks took a season-high I03 shots, making a season-low 32 percent. They missed their first II 3-point· ers and finished 4-of-25 behind the arc. The on Iy thing that kept Dallas in the game was rebounding, which is usually its biggest weakness. The Mavs had 60 boards, including 30 on the offensive end. Then again, they missed so many shots someone had to grab the loose balls. "It was a weird game," said Nowitzki, who had 37 points and 13 rebounds for his third 30-point game straight against Minnesota. Finley made only one of his first 12 shots, and finished with 17 points on 7-of-27 shooting. He was 2-of-11 on 3-pointers. The next-best scorer was Raef LaFrentz with nine, followed by Steve Nash with eight. Nash also had nine assists. The Mavericks were playing their third game in four days, but were more rested than the Timberwolves because they had Sunday off and their top players didn't over-exert themselves in a lopsided win over Utah on Saturday night. "At this point in the season, we should be sharp enough to get a better start," Dallas' Nick Van Exel said. Jazz 83, Heat 73 At Miami, Karl Malone .scored 29 points, Matt Harpring added 17 and John Stockton 14 as Utah bounced back from a 24-point loss at Dallas on Saturday night. Coach Pat Riley, who has had previous run-ins with officials this season, was ejected by referee Mark Wunderlich, receiving his second technical foul of the game with 6:34 remaining in the third quarter. Riley was disputing a foul call on Brian Grant, who also was assessed a technical for arguing the call. Earlier this season, Riley was fined for comments critical of referees following Miami's home losses against New York and Portland. Hawks 95, Clippers 86 At Atlanta, Shareef AbdurRahim had II of ,his 26 points in the fourth quarter for the Hawks. Dion Glover added 14 points ,as the Hawks put all their starters in double figures for the first time in 22 games. Abdur-Rahim also grabbed 15 rebounds. The Clippers have lost nine of 10.

"I've got to move on and go out there and pitch." The 39-year-old left-bander, often prone to outlandish statements during a major league career that began in 1987, did not elaborate much but issued a statement apologizing to owner George Steinbrenner, team employees, major league baseball and teammates. "Anyone who knows me knows my love for the history of baseball, and in particular the history and tradiuons of its most famous franchise, the New York Yankees," Wells said. "I never intended to offend anyone, or compromise my relationships with teammates or fans, and I deeply regret that I may have done so." After reading the book, general manager Brian Cashman concluded discipline was in order because "some of those things in the book ... did tarnish the Yankee image." ''The image of the Yankees is something we, and I personally, am intending to protect on a daily basis," Cashman said. After a weekend of negotiations, Wells agreed not to contest the fine. The Yankees originally8roposed that Wells be fined I days' l?ay of his $3 million salary, which comes to nearly $165,000, but Wells' agent, Gregg Clifton, objected. The team wanted a fine with six figures, which is among the highest ever for a baseball player. but lower than the penalties imposed on Keith Hernandez, Dave Parker and Joaquin Andujar, who agreed to g~ve up 10 percent of their 1987 salaries after the Pittsburgh drug trials. "David understands it was our opinion he would have been successful on appeal," Clifton said. "He wanted to bring closure for himself and his teammates." The money will be split equally among three charities chosen by the team: the Boys and Girls Clubs of New York, the Baseball Assistance Team and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. "I don't think anybody familiar with the landscape thinks this penalty would be upheld," said Gene Orza, the union's No.2 official. "But it's his decision to make under the rules and it reflects the degree he wants to put this behind him. We have absolutely no problem with his decision." The deal was negotiated by Cashman and Yankees president Randy Levine with Clifton, Orza and Rob Manfred, e11ecutive vice president of labor relations m the commissioner's office. Commissioner Bud Selig said he intends to meet with Wells to discuss the book, but major league baseball will not impose any additional discipline. As part of the deal, Wells agreed not to promote the book qn television or radio, one management official said on condition of anonymity. In addition, the Yankees must approve any signing appearances he makes in bookstores. Wells backpedaled Monday on some of the more outrageous passages in the book, saying now he wasn't "halfdrunk" when he pitched a perfeet game against Minnesota in 1998. "When I took the mound the day of my perfect game, I was ready to pitch. I certainly wasn't drunk," he said. "Anyone who knows me understands that I only intended to write this book in the spirit of fun. I am sorry that the book hasn't been taken in that vein." The pitcher was hit hard in his. first two exhibition starts, causing the team to wonder whether he was preoccupied by reaction to the book. Even though he sprained an ankle last week, Wells had a much better outing Monday, allowing one run and six hits in four innings of relief. He gave up a home run to former Yankee Shane Spencer and struck out four. "It felt a lot better today, Wells said. mentally," "Physically I feel fine." He preferred to let his statement about the fine speak for him. "A big word around the Yankees is 'accountability,' and I am accountable for my actions," Wells said in the statement. "Part of being accountable is accepting whatever fallout comes from your actions, good, bad, or ugly, and hopefully my decision today shows my willingness to do that." Copie's of Wells' book, "Perfect I'm Not! Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches & Baseball," began arriving in New York area bookstores Friday. Wells discussed steroid and amphetamine use in the major leagues>ilUid made unfavorable statements about some teammates. In the final version of the book, Wells lowered his estimate of steroid use among major leagues from 25-to-40 percent to I 0-to-25 _percent and eliminated a clarrn that some players use Ritalin as a stimulant. He also changed a reference to former teammate Kenny Rogers from "cuckoobird pitcher'' to "whipping boy/pttcher." FA ·College basketball Armond Hill fired after worst season .

Vladimir Guerrero, Bret Boone and Luis Gonzalez were all hit by pitches Monday, causing benches to clear in two exhibition games. Guerrero was ejected in the first inning for starting a brawl after he was hit by a pitch from Brad Penny during the Montreal Expos' 7-4 win over the Florida Marlins in Viera, Fla. "He first threw me up and in, very close," Guerrero said. "It barely touched my shirt. It was the principle. I felt it was intentional. I expect pitches inside, but I felt tt was in the head area." Penny's second pitch to Guerrero grazed the Montreal slugger's uniform. Still holding his bat in his left hand, Guerrero said a few words to Penny as catcher Matt Treanor tried to restrain the batter. After Penny got closer, Guerrero swung his right fist around the catcher at the pitcher, missing. Penny retaliated with punch that missed, and the dugouts emptied. "I'm not trying to hit a guy in spring training, especially not m the first inning," Penny said. "I'm out trying to throw inside. The first pitch he didn't like, and he stared me down. Then, I barely touched his shirt. He came out. If I wanted to hit him, I would have thrown a two-seam fastball." The Mariners and Diamondbacks got into a shoving match in Tucson, Ariz., after Boone and Gonzalez were hit by pitches. Arizona right-hander Miguel Batista hit Boone in the left arm with a pitch in the top of the sixth. In the bottom half, Jeff Nelson hit Gonzalez in the back with the first pitch. Both dugouts and bullpens emptied, but no punches were thrown. Boone and Gonzalez came out for pinch-runners, but neither was injured. "It's just a spring training game," Gonzalez satd. "By no means are we trying to hit Boonie. He's one of their stars, one of the marquee guys on the team. All of us in here are big fans of his . He plays in the other league. I just thought it was stupid what he (Nelson) did." Oddly, the flareup came between teams whose managers are good friends. Firstyear Seattle skipper Bob Melvin was Arizona manager Bob Brenly's bench coach the past two seasons. The game ended in a 6-6 tie after 10 innings by mutual agreement. Willie Bloomquist's two-run homer in the ninth for Seattle sent it to extra innings. Also, Houston second baseman Jeff Kent was hit in the from PageB1 down by two and in a split second I just thought I'd shoot it. Basically, it was my fault." · Purdue then ran out the clock.

Hunter drops in buzzerbeater as Bobcats advance: Associated Press With time running out in their first-round MidAmerican tournament game against Akron, the Ohio . Bobcats had a simple plan: Let Brandon Hunter win it. It worked, but not exactly the way it was drawn up. Hunter scored 20 points and put back Steve Esterkamp's missed jumper at the buzzer to lead the Bobcats (13-15) over Akron 79-77 Monday night. · "We were really trying to get the ball to Brandon on a post-up inside, and it really wasn't available, so Steve did what he should do," Ohio coach Tim O'Shea said. "He took the ball, took a shut and Brandon put it in." John Hollingsworth hit a 3-pointer for Akron (14-14) to tie it 77-77 with 20 seconds left. Esterkamp, who finished with 25 points, took a fade-away jumper that fell short and Hunter grabbed it and laid it in. Akron led by as many as II in the second half and was up 69-62 with 4:50 remaining. Ohio responded with a 13-2 run to take a 75-71lead with l : llto go. The Zips hit two 3-pointers in 42 seconds to tie it, but left Ohio enough time for a game-winning shot. O'Shea didn' t want to return the favor. "They were in a 1-3 -I zone and we wanted to make sure we took the last shot," 0' Shea said. "I didn't want to give them a chance to win the game." Jeff Halbert had 19 points and nine rebounds for Ohio. Derrick Tarver led the Zips with 22 points. Darry I Peterson and Hollingsworth each scored 15. In the other first-round games, Northern Illinois beat Buffalo 81-64; Western Michigan never trailed in a 78-64 victory over Toledo; Bowling Green knocked off Ball State, 90-8 I; and Marshall beat Eastern Michigan 83-75.

SleepDeprived in the Midwest"' complained that she and her husband quarreled because he would wake her at 3 or 4 in the morning demanding sex, even though she had to get up for work by 7 a.m. If she refused, he would give her the silent treatment. You ~dvised marriage counselmg . I recently divorced a man who had the same habit. I think you missed something in her letter. She mentioned that her husband is unemployed. My ex was also unemployed for most of our marriage. She's the breadwinner, as was I. I suspect there is a connection between the two. It may be a control issue. I believe mY ex's demands for sex at odd hours had a lot to do with his feeling he needed . to show me that he was in contro I in some area of our lives . .. Sleep-Deprived" needs to get that issue addressed before her marriage is affected any further. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, AND GLAD I'M OUT IN N.Y. DEAR B.T., D.T. AND GLAD: You may be right. However, not everyone viewed the problem as 'you did. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Instead of complaining, that woman should count her blessings. I have learned to accept my husband for the way he is, and not for what I think he should be. I, too, work a traditional schedule. We have an agreement that works for us. There are times when he will lie down with me until I fall asleep -- then he gets up and reads or works on his hobbies until he is ready for bed . I urge 'that wife to find a healthy and comfortable compromise. If she does, her marriage will be better for it. -LARK WITH AN OWL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR LARK: I agree, the ·key is compromise. DEAR ABBY: I'm glad you suggested counseling. I hope it works. My husband and I have been married 10 years. We were both married before to partners who dido 't think sex was important . When one of us is in the mood, the other one doesn't just oblige, but races to the bedroom and lets the romantic one ..get us in the mood." Ironically, I am usually the one who wakes my husband at 3 a.m. A suggestion I might offer to the wife: Why not se4uce HIM earlier in the evening, so that by 3 a.m. he's sound asleep and not waking you? - D.L. IN OREGON DEAR D.L.: I like the way you think. DEAR ABBY: Good God, Maude! She should plan on going to bed an hour early! Fix a gourmet snack to eat in bed . Pour two drinks . Drag him into the bedroom and show him the kind of time the two of them had on their honeymoon. After he drops dead from the shock, she can sleep undisturbed forever after. -BRUCE IN FLORIDA DEAR BRUCE: Thank you for adding the male perspective. DEAR ABBY: Many years ago, my spouse also woke me on a regular basis. I adore him, but I need at least 6 1/2 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Since these occasions revved my metabolic rate, making sleep afterward impossible, I engaged him in recalling ever,Y detail related to Prestdent Nixon -- his dog's name, Watergate, his personal habits, his lovely wife, Pat, their daughters and their weddings, etc. My poor darling was so tired, he slept through the following night. Each time I was awakened, I made sure we talked about Nixon. For some reason. he almost never wakes me now. It's worth a try. - A SISTER IN SEATTLE DEAR SISTER: Water torture would be kinder.

Winners in those contests will then be brought together for Ohio's 200th birthday celebralion in September for a "shootoft" where trophies and other prizes will be awarded to the · champions by grade level and gender. Physical education teachers in the districts' elementary schools will be handling the local school competitions, according to Karr.

MILES LAYTON Staff writer POMEROY Meigs County Emergency Agency Management Director Bob Byer and Diana Coates, a volunteer with the Homeland Security Agency, discussed the state of readiness in the event ofa disaster at a Meigs County Chamber of Commerce meeting Thesday. Byer said the recent ice and snow storms the county experienced made people more aware of where they stand and what they lack during an emergency. He said the county was on its own for several days because it was difficult for help to arrive because of weather and road conditions. The National Guard, which had helped out with pasi storms, was unavailable because of the state of international affairs the nation is currently experiencing. "We were on our own and did the job," Byer said. Coates said the county received a $9,000 grant to educate people on how to prepare for a major disaster. She said individuals are not prepared in the ev~nt of a dis,. and 4 p.m. Sept. 6 at Bashan, and it will be necessary for Pomeroy's celebration to be planned seas not to have activiti.c5..in town distra.etii)g.fu>m.the . · major event. F- >,, , · · · The need for food vendors, prefembly serving period foods, was discussed, along with a need for pictures from the Civil War era to be used in displays. Pictures, said Chapt'nan, could be of homesteads, soldiers, activities or family groupings. The Pomeroy Library will have Civil War artifacts on·display, The Fabric Shop will feature a display of antique quilts, a stemwheeler will be at the levee for rides and an eveni)lg dance, and there will be dance demonstrations, music featuring oldtime instruments, and a band concert in the amphitheater. Chapman reported that Mike Gerlach, in conjunction with the art teacher and students at Mei~s High School, will be making a large dimensional map of Meigs County marked with the route which Morgan's Raiders took and showing where the skirmishes which will be recreated Sept. 3-6, took place. The map to be completed and displayed at various bicentennial events is being sponsored by Downing-Childs-MullenMusser Insurance Agency. Partl~ Cloud~, HI: 150, Index Low: 30 " aster. " I don ' t think we are prepared now," she said . "There's still a lot of work to do." . Byer emphasized that emergency planning must be on an individual basis. He said the county and the many law enforcement and emergency agencies could only do so much. True preparation needs to begin at home. · Byer was quick to point out that duct tape is not a solution to any chemical or airborne disaster and can only make things worse. He advised people to make basic prepa- rations, such as ha vi ng a manual can opener and some candles around. Meigs County is not as isolated from possible terrorist attacks as some may think. Byer said the bend in the river at Pomeroy is fourth most traveled section of river in the United States. There are 24 to 26 miles of railroad· track at one end of the county which carry chemicals. among other things. through what is known as the ..chem- · ical valley."

It Wl!S generally agreed that everything needs to be spruced up for spring, that awnings need cleaned, that some painting needs done. George Wright reported at Thesday 's meeting that work is progressing on decorating the three electric junction boxes between Main Street and the parking lot. The boxes will be painted and then have colorful cutouts of Victorian people which are being created attached to them. The Gold Wmgs and Ribs Festival sponsored by the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce to be held on May 31 was anriounced. The ·event will include not only a rib cookoff and cruise-in of Goldwing, Harley and Classic Cars, but entertainment, a juried art display, guided bike tours and awards galore. In conjunction with that festival, the merchants discussed using the association's guides in Victorian costume to conduct town tours. www.mydaily•<>nlinl'l.com Period games set for bicentennial bash POM:E&QY :-- ~~ _9f_t® J-1D-OJ UP!

Howard Lockhart was mowing a field beside Landaker Road about I p .m . Tuesday when he began to smell some- thing burning. He looked down and saw small puffs of smoke corning from underneath the hood of his tmctor. Lockhart had used the family tractor, which belonged to his stepfather Owens Smith, 91, earlier that day to mow an adjacent field. Lockhart said his stepfather bought the tractor new in 1953 and that there had never had any major problems with it before, but today was difterent. Lockhart saw some orange and yellow names from beneath the hood, turned off the engine and jumped from the tractor which wa~ quickly engulfed in flames. He then ran up a steep hill to call for help. The Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department received the call at I:30 p.m. and quickly responded. A pumper truck with five men, including Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar, began a rough journey to the fire by turning off U.S. Route 33 and heading down Kingsbury Road. Kingsbury is a twisted and curvy road that is difficult to maneuver even under the best of circumstances.
