About a month ago, I ~t a wonderful guy, '"Adam," who treats me like a ~ueen . He's 18. My parents hke him and so do all my friends. Adam is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He is a singer m a local band and all the girls are crazy for him. I am amazed that he wants to be with someone like me. Lately, Adam has been talking about marriage and hinting that it's me he wants to marry. I told him I'd think about it -- but the more I do, the more confused I get. I real! y like him, but I'm not sure I want to be married right out of high school. I only have a few months until I tum 18 and graduate -- then I have to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. The thought is overwhelming. Can you help me? - TURBULENT TEEN IN WYOMING DEAR TURBULENT TEEN: Follow your instincts. You appear to be an intelligent young lady with a lot to offer. I see no reason to rush to the altar. Adam may be a terrific young man with a great future, but do not allow yourself to be talked into anything. Get more training and education. Marry no one until DEAR ONE-TRACK that you feel more secure if MIND: You have my sympa- you are supervising them. It's Dear Abby ADVICE you are self-supporting. . DEAR ABBY: I am a healthy and attractive 68year-old widow. For a month last summer, I dated a wonderful 65-year- old man. In that short time, I fell in love with him, but he went back to another woman he had dated before me. My heart has been broken ever since. I have not been able to get this man off my mind. We attend a number of the same social functions in town, and each time I see him, it destroys me. There are very few single men my a~e, so finding a new compamon is not an easy task. I am a busy, productive lady, but I carry my thoughts everywhere I go. It feels like an obsession. Never in all my life have I felt like this. I cannot continue in this state of mind. Please help. - ONETRACK MIND SOMEWHERE IN WISCONSIN thy. You may need professional counseling to get beyond this, and I hope you' H waste no time in gettin~ it. It would also be helpful 1f you found (at least temporarily) other social activities where you can meet new people and not be haunted by the ghost of last summer's romance. · DEAR ABBY: I am a single mom with a 7-year-old son, "Jason." We're new to the neighborhood, but Jason has made friends with three boys from a family who lives across the street. The kids are great, and they all play well together. However, the boys' mother is irresponsible and cannot be trusted. I know for a fact that she steals from stores and dabbles in illegal substances. I want my son to have friends, but I refuse to allow him to play at their home. Am I wrong? How should I explain this to the boys' mother if she asks why Jason isn't allowed to come over? - MICHIGAN MOM DEAR MICHIGAN MOM: You ' re not wrong. You're a mother who has her priorities straight. If the woman asks you why you want t~e children at your home, tell her with a smile the truth -- but don't be surprised if it's a question she never asks. More to the point is the question you did NOT ask. If the boys' mother is into drugs and thievery, you would be doing the boys a favor to notify Child Protective Services. You can ask that your n!lme not be used. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother; Pauline Phillips.

Trussell was notified last week that Sheriff Landon Smith will no longer accept prisoners who require prescription medication, because the Jail is no longer staffed by a nurse. Meigs County houses prisoners in the Caldwell jail under a continuing contract between Smith and Trussell and the county commissioners in both counties. Under that contract, Meigs pays Noble County $200 per day for beds for five male inmates. The contract is binding regardless of whether the beds are filled, but the Noble County facility is usually Trussell's first choice for housing prisoners because of the negotiated rate. Meigs County also houses prisoners, including women, m the Washington County Jail, at $55 per day, and in Gallia County and Middleport jails, when space is available. Southeastern Ohio Regional 1ail in Nelsonville is also available to house local prisoner s, but the cost is considerably higher than other jails. Trussell Trusell said Meigs County has one prisoner still in the Noble County jail, but said ''most" prisoners in his custody are prescribed some type of medICation. . '"They're still going to take our prisoners, but not any of those who require administration of medications," Trussell said Wednesday. "Right now, we have a prisoner awaiting transport to prison, and while Noble County usually takes care of our prison transports, we· can't house the prisoner there because of his medications." Trussell closed the antiquated Meigs County Jail last year during his on~oing 200~ budget battle wtth Meigs County commissioners. He said the cost of utilities, cooks' salaries, and maintenance and repair on the century-old Meigs jail takes funding from line items needed for law enforcement protection, specifically deputies' salaries.

Bob Taft cut approximately $39,000 in state aid to the school district which could further increase the debt amount. The school district has experienced recurring general fund operating deficiencies for the past three years which has forced it to borrow against future revenues to finance its operations.

The district has not requested voter approval for additional general fund operating levies. . Superintendent Bob Grueser is asking for nearly $1 million more in state money to make necessary repairs to Southern High School. Some of that money may come directly from the district. Grueser detailed some of the things he is asking for from the Ohio Facilities Commission. Grueser said the high school phone system does not work well on a good day. He recalled an incident when he had to dial the same number seven times in order for an important call to be placed to Columbus. Grueser said the bathrooms in the school are -falling apart.

University of Akron professors unionize AKRON (AP)- Professors at the University of Akron voted to create a faculty union. Professors voted 388-220 on Thesday and Wednesday in favor of making the American Association of University Professors their bargaining agent. A similar unionization effort failed in 1995. "We're honored to have the opportunity to provide this extra voice for faculty," said Steve Aby, who helped lead outside the body to elec· trodes on the diaphragm. The control box sends a signal to the electrodes 12 times a minute, causing the diaphragm to contract and air to be sucked into the lungs. When the nerve is unstimulated, the diaphragm relaxes and the air is expelled. Reeve, the third person to undergo the procedure, can currently breathe for more than two hours without the respirator, compared to I 0 minutes before the s urgery. As his diaphragm muscles get stronger, Reeve is expected to be able to do away with the respirator · entirely . . Over time, Reeve will also be able to speak more normally and to breathe naturally, Onders told the Times. The Food and Drug Administration has so far approved diaphragm pac- · ing via laparoscopy for 35 patients. "Despite the best intentions of many, the juvenile indigent defense system in Ohio is broken and sorely in need of repair," said Patricia Puritz, justice center director. The center conducted the study with the assistance of the Juvenile Justice Coalition Inc. and the Children's Law Center Inc . The study is based on interviews and surveys of juvenile-court judges, magistrates, defense lawyers and hundreds of juveniles in custody. The biggest problem, the study said, is that youths waive their right to lawyers without understanding the consequences. Lawyers interviewed in the study said some juve- the · 14-month unionization campaign. Aby, president of the AAUP chapter at Akron, has said the central issue was faculty involvement in decision-making. University President Lui s Proenza sent an e-mai I to faculty members that said, "Although you know that I am disappointed in that choice, I assure you that the university will bargain in good faith ."

The American Bar Assoc iation's Juvenile Justice Center says up to half of all poor juveniles accused of crimes in Ohio go to court witho ut lawyers, and those with lawyers often get a poor defense. The result is too many youths with behavioral or mental problems getting detention or probation instead of treatment, the study said. The findings . held true in big, small, urban, suburban and rural counties. Eve Ensler's play - which celebrates female sexuality while decrying violence against women - has been banned at some Catholic colleges for its frank talk about female genitalia. Professor Nancy Bertaux said Wednesday she would sponsor the three performances as an academic project. It will be included in a class that examines cultural diversity, specifically the issues of stereotypin~, prejudice and discriminanon. The class is focusing on ~ender issues. Bertaux said the cancellation violated the free-speech right of the student council. She is a member of the university's diversity committee for women and minorities. The Rev. Michael J.

Stephen Polen was kicked and beaten from head to toe on Feb. 4, 2002, and he suffered a fractured skull , broken ankle and nearly died when his kidneys shut down. His father, Brook Polen, admitted hitting Stephen, then 13, with his fists. Investigators said he also used a mallet. Brook Polen was sentenced in June to seven years in prisun after pleading guilty to felonious assault and child endangering. Stephen had come to live at hi s father's Minerva home only a few months earlier when his mother died of cancer. Stephen, now 14, will remain in the care of the Stark County Department of Job and Family Services for another six months, a magistrate ruled this week. He had been living with a Canton-area relative but was moved to a group home two months ago. .I said having the play as part of a class "situates this controversial work in a suitable environment of debate and discussion." The Cardinal Newman Society, a private organization dedicated to renewing Roman Catholic identity in Catholic higher education, had pressured the university to cancel the play, school officials said. The society, based in Falls Church, Va., says the play is inappropriate for Catholic universities. llospirt• \'olunh•t•rs ~t·t·<kd!! Holzer Hospice is looking for a few good men and women!

Women with previous pregnancy complications such as a newborn weighing over 4000 grams, preeclampsia, previou§ stillbirth, or an infant with congenital anomalies are more likely to have gestational diabetes. The only one of these risk factors that your daughter appears to have is her age of 29. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is based on measurements of blood glucose. All pregnant women should be screened with a glucose challenge test (OCT). This sounds like what your daughter had. The woman drinks a 50 gram glucose drink (very sugary liquid) and the blood glucose is measured one hour later. If the blood sugar is below about 130 mg. (some sources say 140 mg.). the woman does not have gestational diabetes. If the GCT is positive, meaning an elevated sugar, then a 3-hour glucose tolerance test (OTT) is performed. This is necessary because not all women with a positive OCT have gestational diabetes. Once a diagnosis of gestational diabetes is established, the patient will monitor her The Daily Sentinel (740) 992·2156.

(AP ) Longtime farmer's grain cooperative idles machinery MEDINA, Ohio (AP) Farmers in ever more residential, less agricultural, Medina County have decided not to continue grain sorting, crushing and milling as a coopemtive venture. Last month. Town and Country Co-op Inc., which began as Medina Landmark Coop' in 1934. shut down its machines. "It 's the end of an era, that's for sure:· said William Rohrbaugh. vice president of the farmers' cooperative. "But look mound. There are not that many t:rrmers in Medina County, and most are in the extreme southern part of the county." In the past, Medina County farmers would harvest grain crops such as soybeans, oats, com and wheat, then take them to the co-op to be dried, screened and processed. They can still take their gmin to mills in Wayne County or southern Medina County. Tile co-op had better uses for the i ive employees who ran the grain-milling operation. Once the machines are removed, the space could be used to\<>tore 50and I00-pound bags of animal feed. It will serve agricultural supply markets in LaGrange, Wooster, Ashland, Mansfield and Grafton. Tile largest seller is horse feed. Tilere is also a demand for alpaca feed. Over the years lhings changed quickly as fanners sold their land. Houses replaced cow pastures and cornfields. "It costs about $8,000 for an acre of land in Medina County:· Rohrbaugh said. "The crops would not make it worthwhile." As the farmers sold out and Medina County became home to Cleveland and· Akron commuters, the co-op lost customers tor fenilizer, animal food and farm equipment. The co-op, located in a lastdeveloping suburban county. had a limited grain operation and its demise doesn't retlect a trend elsewhere, said David Simmons. an Ohio Depmtment of Agriculture inspection manager.

CLOSED Pomeroy, Ohio 9 • TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - This time, bad weather should help farmers, who are still smarting from last summer's drought. A wet and rainy autumn followed by a cold and snowy winter has replenished the state's water table and should help keep down the bug population in fields this summer. The freezing and thawing of the ground also should help keep the topsoil from becoming too hard and improves the soil structure, farmers say. "Most people hate the snow, and for farmers it's not necessarily a bad thing," said Joe Comely, a spokesman for the Ohio Farm .Bureau. Some farmers lost as much as half of their crop during a dry spell that was the worst in recent memory. This year, the replenished water table should give rarmers an extra few weeks or "hedging room" in case the ·earlier summer months are dry, said .Jeff Rogers, Ohio' s state climatologist and a professor at Ohio State University. Still. the rest of the growing season will depend upon how much · rain comes once planting begins. Too much early rain could bring !loading and soggy fields . And normal rains in June and July help crops more than a recharged water table at planting time . Rogers saicf' researchers have noticed a pattern over the last few decades of how the state 's water table replenishes itself. "We're realizing Ohio gets dry in the spring and summer, and recovers in autumn and winter," he said. Statewide, cornfields had yields last year that were 36 percent less than the pre~ious year, and soybean production dropped 27 percent. The U.S. Department of Agriculture declared the state a primary disaster area because of losses. Farmers also got too much rain during prime planting weeks in April and May. 'That really hurt us more than people .think." said Peter Thomison, an agronomist at Ohio State University. "They planted when soils were too wet and the roots didn "t develop." Thomison said a dry planting season would allow plants to develop deeper roots and to handle a dry summer more easily. "I'm not terribly concerned right now," he said. "We're a long ways from the middle of April." Jeff Creeger, who farms 1,200 acres in Allen County, said there 's concern that recent snowfall will hurt the winter wheat crop. But he added that the cold has helped kill pesky bugs and helped the water table. 'The drought, as far as I' m concerned, is over," he said. "Who's to say what the weather is going to do next. Throw all the answers into a hat and pick one."

U.S.-based refugee aid group ends help for immigrants MONTPELIER. Vt. (AP) A refugee aid group said it will stop arranging room and board for asylum seekers from points around the globe who are applying to enter Canada from the UnitcJ States, saying it couldn' t keep up with demand for its sef\ ices. Patrick Giantonio, director of Vermont Refugee Assistance. also renewed his call tor the Canadian government to drop a policy under which immigrants in the United States seeking asylum in Canada are given appointments with immigration officers and then sent back across the border. Giantonio said it would stop providing room and board Friday. He said VRA has two pan- time staff members who have been putting in I00-hour weeks since Janwrry and can' t do it any more. "We're strapped. We just don't have the resources," he said. Giantonio said there was also a growing sense that his tiny organization was being used to address a problem created by a Canadian government policy that could simply be changed. The problem began in the fall when a new U.S. policy requiring special registmtion by male immigrants from 25 mostly Muslim countries triggered a !low of asylum seekers north toward Canada.

Me Aneny and anti-tobacco activist Thomas Ramsey detail the disconcerting failure of the state to combat one of its most serious public health hazards - smoking. For four decades now. since the first U.S. Surgeon General's report stated the undeniable reality that smoking and death are intertwined, the medical community has known that preventing smoking is one of the most significant public health measures that can be taken to save lives -- hundreds of thousands nationally each year and thousands here in New Mexico. The loss of life, primarily from smoking-induced can- . cers, heart disease and lung illnesses. is only the worst part of the picture. Smoking not only kills people, ,it cripples entire families. Despite the availability of millions of dollars from the national tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, New Mex ico got Fs across the report card from the American Lu ng Association. The state 's grades arc not just disappointing letters on another soc ial litmus test or even an indication of how little it cares about the welfare of its people. . No single effort will do more to save human life in New Mexico than getting smokers to quit and preventing youngsters from ever starting to smoke. But the addiction is powe rful - more so than mainline illegal drugs, according to so me studies . So fighting it is going to take effort and money. It will be a long campaign. But, starting today and on behalf of its citizens , New Mexico should declare war on tobacco.

Estrada filibuster escalates partisan war One could understand resorting to a filibuster to block a notorious ideologue, a scoundrel - or someone who could overturn Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court. But Democrats are using the filibuster weapon to prevent Miguel Estrada from joining the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on the mere assumption that one day he'll get to the high court and prove to be a "Hispanic Clarence Thomas." Maybe he would. But the way to find out would be to let the Senate vote on his nomination, which would put him on the appeals court, and then watch how he rules on cases. Then, if he proved to be a right-winger and was nominated to the Supreme Court, Democrats would have a case to make against him maybe even grounds to filibuster. As matters stand, though, by using a weapon of mass destruction they are establishing a dangerous precedent that surely will come back to haunt them when Democrats regain control of the White House and the Senate. Republicans know how to filibuster, too. It's utterly and shamefully true that both parties have turned the federal judiciary into a political war zone. When they last controlled the Senate, Republicans blocked no fewer than 19 of President Bill Clinton's appeals court nominees by simply denying them a hearing in the Judiciary Committee. In the Estrada debate. it 's almost comical if it weren't so dispiriting - to listen to Republicans quote Democrats on the unfairness of blocking judicial nomi· nees and Democrats quote Republicans on the legitimacy of "intense scrutiny." Who's the hypocrite? Is it Morton Kondracke ' Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.) , who said in 1'!98, "l would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported," and who's now helping lead the filibuster against Estrada? Or is it Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah), who now accuses Democrats of creat· ing an "intellectual glass ceiling for Hispanics" by block· ing Estrada, but as judiciary chairman denied a hearing to Clinton nominee Christine Arguello and held up Richard Paez for four years? The answer: They both are. And two other Hispanics, Jorge Rangel and Enrique Moreno, were blocked not by Hatch, but by other Republican senators. Democrats who used to abhor filibusters against judicial nominees now argue that they are not unprecedented, that debate-ending cloture motions have been filed to get to a vote on appeals court nominees 14 times since 1980. They point out, correctly enough, that most recently Republicans tried to fili· buster Paez's nomination in 2000 and that 14 current Republican Senators voted against cloture, including now-Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.). But, still, it's Democrats who are escalating the judicial wars because never before has there been a sue· cessful party-discipline fili buster against a lower-court Today 's Highlight in Hi story : : On March 13. 1933 , bank s began to reopen after a "holiday" declared by President Franklin Roosevelt.

The people in that night club were so frightened, so expectant of something di s· astrous, they spun completely out of control over a minor incident.

They leaped to the assumption that this was the attack the government had been warning them abo ut all week. Ridge's warnings. of course. were based on real threats of terrorism.

(AP) Court blocks what would have •on l•n T.exas 1 been 3ooth executl t HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - Convicted killer Delma Banks had finished what would have been his last meal and was minutes from being strapped to the death chamber gurney. He was ready to die when an intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court prevented him from becoming the 300th inmate executed in Texas since the state resumed capital punishment in 1982. "I just thank the Lord," Banks said when informed of the reprieve Wednesday night, minutes before the execution would have begun. "Give Jesus all the credit." He was transferred back to death row, about 50 miles to the east. "Delma expected to be back," feUow death row inmate Keith Clay said Wednesday. "He felt he would get a stay of execution. But he was already content that if he was executed, he was going home to the Lord." Banks' reprieve means Clay, set to die March 20 for a 1994 fatal shooting and robbery, may become No. 300 to be executed. Banks, 44, has spent more than 22 years on death row for fatally shooting and stealing the car of 16-year-old Richard Wayne Whitehead, a co-worker at a restaurant. Banks shot Whitehead "for the hell of it" after a night of drinking, according to a witness at Banks' trial. Wednesday was Banks' 15th execution date. Banks' claims that he was wrongly convicted of the murder 23 years ago had been backed by three former federal judges. One was former FBI Director William Sessions, who submitted a brief to the high court in which he cited "uncured constitutional errors" in the case. Banks' lawyers told justices he was poorly represented at trial, prosecutors improperly Thursday, March 13, 2003 FDA says supermarket-style bar codes on drugs can prevent errors Keeping fit oN To Tl-fe Wl-4 iTe. HoV$e.! 111 Court Street o Pomeroy, Ohio (740) 992-2156 • FAX (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentlnel.com The Daily Sentinel PageA7 WASHINGTON lAP) Supermarket-style bar codes will soon be required on every medication given to hospitalized patients, to help ensure they get the right dose of the right drug at the right time. Thursday's proposal by the Food and Drug Administration is part of a series of new government steps to help prevent deadly medical mistakes that claim tens of thousands of live s each year. One type of medical mistake is a drug error, such as giving the wrong drug or wrong dose to someone. Scientists estimate at least 7,000 hospitalized patients die annually because of those drug errors alone. With a bar-code system, health care industry workers use computer equipment to scan an identifying code on a patient's wristband that reveals what medicines he or she needs - and when. Then they scan the intended medication. If they picked the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or a pill version when a liquid was required, the computer beeps an alarm. The computer also can be programmed to catch other errors, such as if a doctor pre· scribes a drug the patient is allergic to or that will react dangerously with another medication he or she already takes. Veterans hospitals have found medication errors plummeted after they adopted a bar-code system. The FDA proposal would make it easier for every hospital to adopt such a safe ty system, by requiring all prescription and over-the-co unter drugs administered in hospitals to bear standardized codes. It's part of a "patient protection system for the 21st centu· ry," said Commissioner Mark McClellan. Also Thursday, the FDA proposed changes in how doctors and drug manufacturers report adverse reactions - both side effects and errors - to the govemment. The hope in this instance is to un cover preventable problems faster. Among the changes: -Companies would have 15 days to report to FDA any suspected medication error, such as when health workers mix up drugs with similar names, such as the epilepsy drug Lamictal and the antifunga l pill Lamisil. Companies today must report such problems that fast only if I hey cause serious injury.

Elsa M~o. the Agnculture Department s undersecretary for food s~ety, told a House subconumttee Wednesday the administration would oppose the measure because it would not benefit conswners. Companies would become less'cooperative, she said, mak· ing it harder for the department to track retailers and wholesalers that sold the recalled meat. That would mean more people would be at risk of get- tingsick. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, DConn .•.said.shewasconsidering legJslatton m the wake of foodP?isoning outbreaks that killed mne peOJ?I~ last year.

"This is about the public's safety." Consumer advocates argued that consumers need to know if stores sold recalled meat. "If even one person took action based on having the information and therefore avoided getting sick, it would be worth having that information available," said Carol Tucker Foreman, head of the Consumer Federation of America's Food Policy Institute. The meat industry says consumers are given enough details when meat is recalled to pick it out of their refrigerators and take it back to the store. In a recall the department discloses the ~ype of meat being . pull~: as ~ell as .~e day.~t ~as pr~essed and tts sell by date.

No ]IJStlces noted objections to the reprieve. (AP) kept blacks off the jury, and testimony from two prosecution witnesses was shaky. Banks is black, his victim was white and the jury was allwhite. Prosecutors said they would continue to seek Banks' execution. "I wish we could have brought it to a conclusion today," said James Elliott, a Bowie County prosecutor who helped win Banks' conviction in 1980. "But I've been here 23 years and I'm prepared to stay here to see it through. The Supreme Court needs more time. You really can't draw any conclusion from the granting of a stay." The majority of last-minute death row appeals are rejected by the Supreme Court, although justices have stopped a handful of executions in the past few years. "Delma Banks Jr., who has maintained his innocence from the beginning, found justice in the courts today and we are hopeful that this delay will allow a meaningful rev1ew of the serious crimes in his case," defense attorney George Kendall said in a statement. The punishment would have been the l1 th this year and second in as many nights in Texas. On Tuesday, murderer Bobby Glen Cook became No. 299 since Texas resumed capital punishment. Despite the reprieve, the nation's most active death penalty state remains on a pace to surpass the record 40 lethal injections carried out in 2000. Texas accounts for more than a third of the 835 executions in the United States since I fJ'/6, when the death penalty resumed under a Supreme Court ruling. Vtrginia is second with 87.

FA llY RESTAURANT Judge rules Columbine killers' parents can be questioned DENVER (AP) Relatives of five students killed in the attack on Columbine High School can question the parents of the teenage gunmen, a judge ruled. Federal Judge Lewis Babcock's decision Wednesday is related to a lawsuit that alleges tbe parents of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold knew or should have known about the teens' plans to attack the school. Harris and Klebold killed 12 students, a .teacher and then themselves in a rampage througtt Columbine on April 20, 1999. More than 20 others were wounded. Babcock authorized 15 depositions, which are con- due ted under oath . Barry Arrington, the attorney for some of the victims' families, said Wayne and Kathy Harris and Tom and Sue Klebold will be on the list, though a decision hadn' t been made on everyone who will be deposed. It is possible the families will depose current or former Jefferson County sheriff's officers, who responded during the attack. Arrington represents the families of Daniel Rohrbough , Lauren Townsend, Kyle Velasquez, Matthew Kechter and Kelly Fleming, all of whom were gunned down by Harris and Klebold. C. Michael Montgomery, the attorney for the Harrises, said Babcock's decision was expected. "They have a right to depose Mr. and Mrs. Harris," Montgomery said. Franklin Patterson, the attorney for the Klebolds, could not be reached for comment. Rohrbough's father, Brian Rohrbough, said he could not call the decision a victory because "this is something that should have never taken this long." "But I'm certainly looking forward to getting the questions answered," he said. "The Klebolds and the Harrises are going to be able to answe( more questions pr.obably than anybody else."

(AP) Martha Burk's request to protest at Augusta National's front gate was denied, prompting her to sue the city to get pennission. Burk rejected a compromise from Sheriff Ronald Strength that would have allowed her to use another nearby location to protest during the third round of the Masters on April 12 in Augusta, Ga. Instead, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit on Burk's behalf. The suit says Augusta's law regulating public protests violates free -speech rights by investing "virtually unbridled discretion in the sheriff to grant or deny a permit." Burk, chair of the National Council of Women's Organizations, plans to stage a one-day protest against the private golf club's all-male membership. Networks come to agreement on Yankees' games NEW YORK (AP) - The YES . Network and Cablevision reached an interim deal, resolving a year-old dispute that threatened to wipe out another season of New York Yankees' telecasts for 3 million viewers. Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the agreement at Gracie Mansion. It followed two weeks of meetings between sides that had refused to sit in the same room for months. Neither side would say whether customers would pay more on their monthly cable bills to get the YES Network and the 120 Yankees games it will air in 2003. If no long-term deal is worked out over the next year, the 'two sides will submit to binding arbitration on April I, 2004.

Spring training College football Yankees end Reds' streak Bearcats' QBcharged with assault New York defeats Cincinnati, 1o-s SARASOTA, Fla. (AP)Raul Mondesi went 3-for-5, drove in two runs and scored twice as the New York Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds 10-5 Wednesday night. The defeat ended a threegame winning streak, includin~ split-squad games, for Cincmnati. The Yankees had lost six of their previous seven games. The Yankees scored six runs in the sixth off losing pitcher Lance Davis. Nick Johnson doubled in Chris Latham to tie the score at 5. Mondesi and David Post followed with back -toback RBI singles to give the Yankees a 7-5 lead. John Flaherty doubled in a run, another scored on a wild pitch and Enrique Davis drove in a run w1th a sacrifice fly to complete the scoring. Ken Griffey Jr. hit a tworun homer, his sixth of the spring, as the Reds scored four in the fourth to take a 43 lead. He also hit a runscoring double in the fifth. Sean Casey singled, Reggie Taylor doubled, Kelly Stinnett's sacrifice fly scored Casey and Wily Mo Pena hit an mfield single to drive in Taylor with the Reds' other fourth-inning runs.

Mondesi drove Matsui home with a double, and Post, who went 3-for-4, followed with a triple over Griffey's head, scoring Ventura and Mondesi . Flaherty singled in Mondesi in the fifth to tie the game at 4. Reds manager Bob Boone said Davis' problems in the sixth were the result of fatigue. "He gets tired after 40 pitches and we were trying to stretch him out to 60 pitches," said Boone. "When he's tired, his ball straightens out." Matt Beech, who pitched for the Yankees in the fifth, was credited with the win. The Yankees are 3-10 this spring. Cincinnati is 10-5- L. .• CINCINNATI (AP) University of Cincinnati quarterback Gino Guidugli has been charged with assault after he was accused of punching an opponent during an intramural basketball game. Campus police arrested Guidugli, a sophomore from Fort Thomas, Ky., on Sunday night after he was accused of hitting another sophomore, Levi Harris, in the left eye during an argument over whether another player was fouled. Guidugli, who turns 20 on was released Thursday, Monday afternoon on his recognizance to await an appearance in Hamilton County Municipal Court. It was his second arrest since November. He was cited then on a charge of underage drinking. Municipal Judge Ralph E. Winkler dismissed the charge on Jan. 14 for lack of evidence. University officials are awaiting the outcome of Guidugli's court case and have not taken any disciplinary action against him, university spokesman Torn Hathaway said Wednesday. Guidugli 's lawyer, Jonathan Dameron, declined to discuss the case on Wednesday. Guidugli is scheduled for a pretrial hearing March 19. Dave Guidugli, the player's father, said his son carries a 3.75 grade point average at the university and had no discipline problems during his career at Highlands High School. (?ave Guidugli said he thinks his son has been under undue. scrutiny because of his visible role on the Bearcats' football team. The father said he was told that other players threw punches during the basketball game Sunday, but that his son was the only one charged. "If there's a melee, why not arrest everybody? You start to wonder if somebody's got it in for him," the father said. Still, the elder Guidugli said: "I'm mad at Gino. I'm not condoning what he did." College basketball Golden Eagles stun Cincinnati in C-USA tourney LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins wasn't ready to assess his team's NCAA tournament chances . The shock of his team's 63-61 loss to Southern Mississippi was still too fresh in his mind. "I'm not on the committee, and I have never sat in the room," Huggins said. "I simply have no idea." Huggins was equally perplexed at how his team lost its opening Conference USA tournament game Wednesday night to the Golden Ea~les , who snapped a nine-game losmg streak to the Bearcats dating to 1990. Jasper Johnson's weak-side tipin of Greg Johnson's miss gave the Eagles a 63-61 lead with 3.8 seconds left. Huggins called a timeout to set up a play. but he said the Bearcats (17 -II) didn't run it. Chadd Moore 's 18-footer at the buzzer clanged off the rim. "It's frustrating when you call a set play and the ?,UYS don 't come out and execute, ' Huggins said. "We were supposed to attack the ba~et from half-court. Why we settled for a jump shot, I have no idea." The s mall contingent of Southern Miss fans showered the Freedom Hall court with beaded necklaces as the defeated Bearcats left the floor. "When we needed to come up with plays, we had guys step up and make play s," S~uthern Mississippi coach James Green said . Greg Johnson scored 2 1 points and Charles Gaines added 15 for Huglna the Golden Eagles (13-15), who were the third No. 12 seed to win a tournament game in the league's sevenyear history. "They gave us some toujlh shots," Green sa1d, "but we never put our heads down and just continued to play." Greg Johnson sank two free throws with 54.2 seconds left to give the Eagles a 61-59 lead, but Leonard Stokes answered with a baseline turnaround with 40.6 seconds to go. Out of a timeout, the Eagles ran a set play for Johnson, who missed a 3-pointer from the wing. Dante Suggers ran down the loose ball in the comer and passed to Greg Johnson, who missed a one-handed shot from underneath the basket. Jasper Johnson sneaked in from the weak side and tipped the ball in with his left hand. " It was a big play by Dante Stiggers to get that rebound and keep the offensive posse ss ion alive," said Jasper Johnson, who had 15 points. Jason Maxiell had 17 points and 12 rebounds for fifth- seeded Cincinnati ( 17 - II ), which had won six of its seven previous · Conference USA tournament openers.

Artest committed a flagrant foul Wednesday night - his second in the past week - as the Pacers were ,giving up a double-digit lead m the fourth quarter of a 96-93 loss in Philadelphia. "There 's definitely concern because we' ve lost a lot of close games because of perceived flagrant fouls or perceived technical fouls;" coach Isiah Thomas said. "Somehow we've gained a reputation." But there was little defense for Artest' s latest flagrant foul. After Eric Snow grabbed a rebound and threw an outlet pass, he was pulled down by a charging Artest on the baseline. Snow and the Philadelphia bench erupte~ before referee Ken Mauer called a level one flagrant. If the call is upheld, Artest will draw a one-game suspension and will miss Friday night's home game against Utah. ' Artest will begin receiving two-game suspensions if he commits any more flagrant fouls .

He stands seventh in the points going into Sunday's Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 at Darlington Raceway. Before Earnhardt's death, Childress was planning to bring Harvick along slowly, running him in the Busch Series and a handful of Cup races in 200 l before moving him to Winston Cup full time. The tragedy threw the youngster into the spotlight, and Childress said his performance wasn't surprising. "He's everything I thought he was then, and more," the owner said. "We haven't been able to give him what it takes to run up front year in and year out. That's our fau It. "He won championships in Winston West and Busch, and he has all the ability to win a Win ston Cup championship. We just have to give him the tools." Harvick smiled at Childress' words but noted he is ready to shoulder a big share of the burden , too. " I feel like I've tried to step up and take as much responsibility as they want to throw at me ," Harvick said. "Before, I didn't understand the consequences. Richard has taught me to be a team player." And he has some other advice from Chilc:jress to apply to his bad-boy antics of the past. "R ichard 's always told me that as long as you learn from your mistakes and don't do them again, you'll be OK," he said. BY MIKE HARRIS Associated Press DARLINGTON, S.C. Kevin Harvick isn't looking "ver In s should er anymore. After a year in which he was accused by competitors of being selfish and unthinking and hecame the first driver in NASCAR's then 54-year hi story barred from a race for conduct on th e track , Harvick is ready to put th at all behind him . That means keeping his emotions under control. "You really have to learn to tilk e each circumstance and eac: h incident by itself," Harvick sa id. "You have to think about the big picture. It 's not about that moment, it 's all about that day, how yo u finish this race ." Harvic k already w.as on probation for scuffling with Greg Biffle after a Busch race in March in Bristol, Tenn. The final straw came in April in Martinsville the day before the Winston Cup race there. During a truck race, Harvick kept tangling with Coy Gibbs, finally ramming him from behind and sending Gibbs' truck spinning out of control. NASCAR imm ediately parked Harvi ck ·., truck , then decided he would not be allowed to drive hi s No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet the next dav. Several -of his fellow Winston Cup drivers said it served him right. They said he was ton aggressive and see med 10 be trying too hard to emu late the late Dale Earnhardt. who was known as The Intimidator. It was Harvick, plucked from the Busch Series by team owner Richard Childress, who replaced Earnhardt following .the seven-time Winston Cup champion's death in the 200 l Daytona 500. It took NASCAR's unprecedented decision to grab the young man's attention. "! think l learned a number of thing s last year," Harvick said. "Martinsville was probably the center of it. I learned a lot of people depend on me , and to JUSt be an adult." . After the forced day of rest. the 27-year-old driver from Bakersfield, Calif., spe nt the rest of 2002 try in~ to avoid allention , on or off the track . He had to consider every ac tion. a problem for drivers constantly faced with splitsecond decisions. Now. with those lessons in mind . Hilrvick said he is back to hi s former persona, albeit with a lot more self co ntrol. ·'People want me to race the ca r hard." he said. "They come to see me race hard. Now I ca n go back to using my instinct and not thinking abou t what you have to do. I can drive like I do naturally." That also mean s no more lo w profile off the track, eit her.

After a year in which he was accused by competitors of being selfish and unthinking and became the first driver in NASCAR's then 54-year history barred ,from a race for conduct on the track, Harvick is ready to put that all behind him. (AP) not afraid to voice them ," Harvick said. After being the top rookie in Winston Cup in 200 I. with three wins and a ninth place finish in the season points, as well as winning the Busch Series championship for Childress. Harvick 's second season was extremely difficult. Besides his temper outbursts and the run-ins with NASCAR, Harvick 's performance on the track fell off considerably. He managed one win - lll Chicagoland Speedway in July - but it was one of only eight top-! Os on the way to finishing 21st in the standing s. Still, the potential remained. With his con tract with RCR set to expire at the end of 2003, other teams began to send out feelers. As the 2002 season wore on , rumors of a rift betwee n Harvick and Chi ldress began circulating. Childress put all that to rest Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway when he announced Harvick ha.d signed a contract for three more years with options for two more. "Everybody always says me and him don't get along and all," Childress said. "But we've got a lot of respect for each other and ... neither one of us likes to lose. ~~ Harvick echoed hi s boss. "Richard and I get along Valley great. ... Now we can concentrate on what we need to concentrate on to have a great year."

Not even Roger Clemens ever made hirri this mad . The New York Mets ' catcher charged the mound and set off a bench-clearing brawl Wednesday night after he was hit by Guillermo Mota 's pitch during Los Angeles' 13-6 win in a splitsquad game. " It was intentional, and they knew it, too," Mets manager An Howe said. "It was a setup." Piazza and Mota had a shoving match last year in spring training after the reliever hit Piazza with a pitch. This time, Mota's first pitch to Piazza in the sixth inning was inside, and his second hit him behind the left shoulder. The 6-foot-3 , 215-pound Piazza immediately charged the mound - with his right fist cocked for a big punch. The slender Mota threw his glove at Piazza and began backpedaling away. Both dugouts emptied, with Mets outfielder Jeromy Burnitz leading a wild charge after Mota while Piazza 'Was restrained on the mound by several Dodgers. The pitcher retreated into the dugout before any Mets could get to him. Piazza , red-faced, wideeyed and glaring with anger, yelled at Mota while being restrained by coaches and umpires. Twice he tried to charge the first-base dugout, but was held back. "If he wants to hit somebody he needs to stand there and fight ," Howe said of Mota. "He backpedaled faster than I can run forward." After Mota hit Piazza in the hip with a pitch last March, he waited until the pitcher was coming off the hospital ~Iter heing hit on Red Sox 6, Orioles 3 lop or hi s head by a lin e At Fort Myers, Fla ..

Piazza left the ballpark while the game was still going without speaking to reporters. Mota, once a shortstop in the Mets ' organization, also left the stadium during the game and did not comment. He hit a three-run home r in the top of the sixth off closer Armando Benitez. It was the third spring training dustup involving star players this week. Montreal's Vladimir Guerrero and Florida's Brad Penny threw punches at each other Monday after Penny grazed the slugger with a pitch. The Mariners and Diamondbacks got into a bench-clearing shoving match the same day after Brei Boone and Luis Gonzalez were hit by pitches. A beanball from Clemens knocked Piazza out with a concussion during the 2000 season, then the Yankees ace threw the jagged barrel of a broken bat in Piazza 's path in Game 2 of the World Series that year. There was a brief verbal confrontat ion, but the normally easygoing Piazza never seemed to lo se his cool. More trnuble t'igures to follow this time. The Mets and Dodgers are slated to play two exhibition games against each other this weekend in Mexico City. They play once more in Florida during spring training. on March 25.

Former ticket manager indicted for tax invasion PITTSBURGH (AP) - A former ticket manager for the Pittsburgh Steelers was indicted on tederal income tax invasion charges for allegedly failing to report income from scalping. Brian Bonifate, 30, claimed to have had taxable income of $22,547 in 1996 when he actually had about $509,000 in taxable income and failed to pay $179,594 in income tax, according to the indictment issued Wednesday by a grand jury. Bonifate was suspended by the Steelers after he was arrested on charges of impersonating a police officer and stalking in December 2001 . He was found innocent of those charges in October after it was determined he had been in Canada at the time. He then resigned. During the investigation, however, police found about $400,000 at his home. Steelers spokesman Ron Wahl said no tickets had been stolen, but declined further comment. Investigators said they believe Bonifate bought tickets at face value, scaijled them and didn't pay income taxes on the money he earned. Steve Swintosky, a scalper, had said the money belonged to him and that he paid Bonifate for tickets, but Bonifate stopped providing the tickets when Swintosky was arrested. Swintosky has pleaded no contest and was placed on probation for I0 years in August 200 J. Bonifate did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment early Thursday. Robert Del Greco, who had represented Bonifate in the stalking ·case, said he may be involved in the income tax case, but would probably refer i1to another auomey. • 1mmerse yourself in all the pleasures of a POINT CLEAR, .'.L European Spa.

I Thursday, March 13,2003 www;mydallysentlnel .eom Page B 8 • The Dally Sentinel . DEAR ABBY: The leiter from "Unhappy in North Carolina," who decided with her husband, after three years of marriage, to have a child but is now .unhappy, caused me to write. You homed in on her statement, "What I thought would make us both happy and bring us closer actually did the opposite. " You wondered if the husband felt trapped and pushed into unwanted fatherhood. I'm not so sure. Other phrases in her letter jumped out at me: "Our son is now 16 months old and the apple of my eye," "We both chan~ed with my pregnancy," and ' Jeff is a great father but a lousy husband." Abby. having your first child changes everything. A woman's concept of herself changes dramattcally, from a spontaneous, carefree individual to a matronly mother with new responsibilities. "Un~aP.l'Y" appears to .be in love w1th her son, wh1ch 1s normal, but often the father feels left out emotionally and resentful of the relationship between mother and child. Threesomes are always diffi~ ult. Jeff is doing all the thin~s a man who wants a fruruty is supposed to do, i.e., working hard at his job and Dear Abby ADVICE buying a home in a good neighborhood. I think the wife is not admitting her role in the problem and is putting the sole blame on her husband. If he refuses to go to counseling with her, she should go alone, so she can learn to reconnect with her husband. If she does, I suspect it won' t take long for him to warm up and stop pickin~ fights with her. Theu son w1ll be the winner when they realize they can have a marriage and still have love left for their child. - BEEN THERE IN MARYLAND DEAR BEEN THERE: Thank you for the fust -person insight. You were not the only reader to offer it. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I read with interest the letter from the unhappy new mother. My husband, "Carl," and I experienced the same problems. After our precious daughter was born. Carl was distant, and we fought more than we had before. I was convinced it was all his fault. We were ready to separate until, in a last-ditch effort to save our marriage, I sought counseling. With the counselor's help, I realized I had blamed my husband for everything that went wrong and didn't recognize the degree to which I was neglectmg him. I had forgotten that Carl needed time with me as much as the baby did, and I had put my job as mother ahead of everything even our marriage. In my desire to. be a good mother, I had become a bad wife and made Carl feel he was inadequate for not caring for the baby exactly the way I would have -- not changing enough diapers and not appreciating me. I was so focused on our baby, I lost sight of the fact that I had changed as much as I had accused my poor husband of changing. A year of counseling helped us to work through the rough patch. A quick anecdote to close: I got the greatest compliment at the doctor's office yesterday. I was talking to Carl on my cell phone, closing our conversation with "I love you," and "Can't wait to see you so we can talk some more." After I hung up, the receptionist said, "You newlyweds are so cute!" (We've been married for 10 years.) See, Abby? When you give a little, you get a little. But when you give alot, you get a STILL CRAZY lot! · ABOUT HIM AFfER ALL THESE YEARS DEAR "CRAZY" (LIKE A FOX): Well said!

N''· 145 I, Astrograph Fridai March 14, 2003 1003 Inside! Home Soon Walker, 3rd pado Pomeroy E!e"'ontary GALUPOUS - Concemed about local school districts still waiting their tum at construction money for new· buildings, State Rep. Clyde Evans said he will introduce legislation modifying the financial fommla used by the state School Facilities CommisSion. The bill proposes to adj ust the formula to put emphasis on mid- die income in such school systems rather than the average property value. "I' ve been pushing for a look because we have a disparity in income in Gallia County," said Evans, a Republican fi·om Rio Grande. He outlined the justification for the bill Thursday during the quarterly business exchange of the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce, hosted by Ohio Valley Bank. Due to the presence of two power plants in Gallia, property value considered by the School Facilties Commission - which awards money lor new buildings based on need and tinancial condition - is high for Gal lia County. That fact has pushed both of Gallia's public .school districts farther down the eligibility list considered by the commission. Gallipolis City Schools would have to foot 38 percent of the cost of a new building based on that value,_ while Gallia County Local Schools, where the plants are situated, faces 88 percent, Evans said. He compared that with poorer value districts such as Vinton County Local and Wellston City schools, which only supplied 7 and 12 percent local revenue, respectively. for their new high schools.
