The bloodmobile will be at Meigs High School from 8:45 a.m. to I :30 p.m. Wednesday and at Eastern High School from 9:30 a.m. to I:30 p.m. on March 26. The bloodmobile at Meigs is being sponsored by the nursing students and members of the Student Council. At Eastern it is being spon- sored by Student Council. Giving blood at the schools is not restricted to students and staff. Area residents are encouraged to donate there. "The inventory currently has an urgent need for 0 positive, also A, B, and AB negative , according to Cheryl L. Gergely, communications supervisor for the Greater Alleghanies Region Blood Services. She said that a live-day supply is needed for all blood types, mentioning that the harsh winter weather in February took a toll on blood drives, several of which had to be canceled, impacting the blood supply. "Blood donations are needed everyday for people who require transfusions for cancer treatment, surgeries and traumas and we must depend on volunteer donors to help save those lives," said Gergely. To be a blood donor individuals must be at least 17 years old, weigh lOS pounds or more, be in good health, and not have donated blood within the past 56 days. Taking high blood pressure medications ·or insulin is usually not a deterrent to donating blood if the condition is stable, she explained. Commission orders Southem to produce recovery plan BY J. MILES Staff writer lAYTON RACINE - The Finance Planning Supervision Commission has ordered Southern Local School District to come up with a financial recovery plan which will eliminate nearly $665,000 in debt. Since the school district declared itself in Fiscal Emergency in November · 1999, the Commission's role has been to oversee the school district's financial recovery. The Commission at a meeting held at the school last week determined . that Superintendent Bob Grueser and the school board must create a plan of action by mid April or the Commission will consider taking action to solve the district's fiscal crisis. One of the main expenditures that will be scrutinized, it was reported, will be the salary and· benefit package, which m•ke up 83 ~t¢.1h.e,bud­ ~et: Fixed expendltqres, which mclilde such things as utility bills or fuel costs, represent the remaining 17 percent of the bu~get and are not reduced as eastly. Grueser said the administration will examine staffing levels and program changes before making any recommendations to the Commission. While there will be two personnel retirements so far this year, these savings from salaries and benefits will not be enouglrof a ·long term solution to the debt. There are 71 teachers and administrative personnel in the district and 35 staff members. Grueser said "lay offs are possible" and stressed if that any layoffs do occur, they could come from any department. Grueser said a lot the problem with the debt stems from state mandated increases in salaries·and benefits. The state minimum salary for a new teacher is approximately $20,000. Accordmg to the Ohio Department of Education, Southern Local school district has the lowest Index 2 Sections - 12 hps Calendar Classifieds Comics Dear Abby Editorials Movies Obituaries Sports Weather A2 84-5 86 86 A4 A3 AS Bl-3 A2 0 2003 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. minimum starting salary requirements at $20,000 out of the three school districts in Meigs County. According to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), the average teacher salary for the district is $32,818 which is lower than the average teacher salary of $36,931 in similar size districts. Salary averages take into account the number of years a person has on the job and education level, which would increase with salary requirements. Across the Ohio River in Mason County, the average teacher salary is $39,000 and the state minimum for a college graduate without any teaching experience is $26,350. "Our teachers are. not paid their worth," Grueser said. "'They deserve more." Health insurance premiums have skyrocketed for the school district during the past ~. . . . . . factor Grueser said . costs have increased more than 30 percent each year for the past three years. Med Mutual is the health insurance provider. Grueser said the district probably has the highest health care costs in the state. Staffing levels have been a concern for the Finance Commission. The number of students in the district has steadily declined during the past several years. There are currently 759 students in a district which once had at least 930 students 10 years ago. Some of the losses can be attributed to open enrollment and home schooling, but declining regional economics have also been a factor in enrollment. According to the ODE, the SOAR to'participate average classroom students per in.area town meeting teacher ratio for the school district is 15.7. The state average is 18 students per teacher.

"We're going down to see if they want to hear about what we're doing, which VIctoria ZoiCJer, 3rd pde may open. the doors down Pomeroy Elementary the road for some state Recovery advocates taking case to state agency funding," said SOAR's president, Dennis Johnson. The group's goal is to educate the community about drug abuse and options to stem the problem. The group was formed in 2002 as a response to increasin;; crime and incidents related to abuse of the painkiller OxyContin. The organization has since broadened its scope to include all addictive drugs, and its immediate goal is to establish a residential treatment facility for recovering male substance abusers. SOAR is working with several agencies and local government officials in reaching its goals, including the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services and associated treatment programs. This week's town meeting was called by the state department to gather input on ODADAS' five-year plan for alcohol and other drug addiction treatment and prevention programs. It's one of eight such meetings planned for throughout Ohio. Johnson , executive director of Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime, will be attending as a focus group provider during the day, but he and other SOAR officers will be · on hand to make their case for a community, based program. The presentation will demonstrate that Gall ia and surrounding .counties are addressing their own substance abuse programs locally, Johnson said. "I see it as communities recognizing they have problems and not relying on state and federal government to resolve those prob- !ems for them," he added. "I think there's enough resources, le adership and wisdom on the community level to resolve those issues." The meeting also will open up communication between groups such as SOAR and state leadership, Johnson said. "Being down in Appalachia, there's an information flow issue and this is a chance to show what we're doing as a community," he added. "Most of our executive board will be there and we look for SOAR to be well represented ."

So , under pressure of a court order, the Federal Communications Commi ssion recently exempted new highspeed networks from line-sharing rules. Guess what?

The FCC tried to split the difference. ruhng that th~ regu:~n­ al companies must continue to share the tr telephone hnes wnh local service competitors, but would not be reqmred to share new high-speed networks. · The problem is that the rulings don ' t fa ir!~ serve ~ither master. The former means that upstart compames contmue to get a discounted ride on the local telephone network. The latter, however, means that competitors would have to build their own networks, a prohibitively expensi ~. task that would effe ctively cede htgh-speed Internet compeuuon to a duopoly of cable companies and telephone companies. Congress envisioned a gradual, regulated transition to local competition for telephone customers. But the real war .~d proftts aren't in local telephone services.

Obituaries Laura Roush Morris· The Daily Sentinel Bette Pearce · Monday, March 17, 2003 Democrats filibuster nothing more than double-talk Way back in 1995 , the Senate was roiled in debate over one of President Clinton's more controversial nominees. The Senate 's Democratic majority thought it was shameful that less-principled lawmakers on the other side of the aisle would deny the nominee a floor vote. "It is wrong," Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy harrumphed, "to filibuster this nomination. And senators who believe in fairness will not let a minority of the Senate deny (the nominee) his vote by the entire Senate." "Let us be fair, " California Sen. Barbara Boxer piously pleaded. "Let us stop the personal attack. Let us stop presidential politics. Let us vote for cloture. Then let each and every senator vote his or her conscience." "It saddens me deeply," lamented Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd, "that we are going to be engaged in a procedural approach to deny this individual a straight upor-down vote on his nomination, that you have to produce now 60 votes in order to be confirmed." How hypocritical, then, that the three Democrats are supporting a filibuster again st Miguel Estrada, Pre sident Bush' s nominee for a vacancy on the U.S. Joseph Perkins Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which is widely considered the second-highest court in the land. If the partisan campaign against the respected Latino barrister succeeds, it will be the first time in history, according to the White House, that a filibuster has prevented a lower-court nominee's confirmation. Such an outcome would not be so patently unjust if Estrada - vilified by liberal interest groups as some sort of conservative extremist - were unfit for the judgeship he was nominated for nearly two years ago. But the American Bar As sociation unanimously declared the nominee "well qualified," its highest ratmg. Democrats might remember that Sen. Patrick Leahy, who chaired the judiciary committee until his party lost its majority this past November, referred to the ABA rating as the "gold standard" for assessing prospective jurists. By almost any objective measure, Estrada is an exceptional candidate for the federal bench. A Honduran immigrant who came to America as a teenager speaking little English, he graduated with high honors from both Columbia College and Harvard Law School. After serving as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, Estrada was named an assistant U.S . attorney in New York during the last Bush administration. During the Clinton administration, he was appointed assistant to the solicitor general of the United States. Democratic opponents claim they don ' t know enough about Estrada. They charge that he evaded questions about his legal views during his Senate confirmation hearing. They complain the Justice Department has refused to turn over files of his work in the solicitor general 's office that would offer insight into his thinkmg. But those concerns are nothing more than dishonest excuses for opposing Estrada 's nomination. In fact, the rules of judicial ethics dictate that prospective judges "shall not ... make statements that commit or appear to commit the candidate with respect to cases, controversies or issues that are likely to come before the court." As to the Bush administration's refusal to turn over Estrada's internal Justice Department memos, every former solicitor general still breathing - including four Democrats and three Republicans- have backed the administration on that issue. They agree that acceding to the Senate Democrats highly in:egular demand would sacrifice and compromise the ability of the Justice Department to effectively. represent the United States in court. It is primarily for that reason that the Senate has not requested such internal memos for any of the 67 appeals court · nominees since 1977 who had previously worked in the Justice Department, including seven who, like Estrada, had worked in the solicitor general's office. If Senate Democrats find Miguel Estrada too conservative for . their taste, if they feel the judicial nominee is unworthy of confirmation, they simply should vote against him. But they should not filibuster his nomination to . death. He deserves an up-or- · down vote by the entire Senate.

Absolute polarization arises over war The pro-war and anti-war factions have become so polarized, so convinced of their own rightness, that you can no longer raise questions - questions! - in either group without accusations you' ve been duped by a) the Bush administration or b) the lefty radicals. And maybe you have been duped. How can you know for certain ? This is the critical problem with debating the impending war in Iraq: There is so little . reliable information on which to draw black-andwhite conclusions. Much of what we' ve been told - from both sides has turned out to be false, exaggerated or so convoluted as to be useless. In the absence of facts, we res ort to assumptions and absolute~. When anti -war gro ups insist the war is about oil, I wo nde r how they know whether this is true. Where is the evidence? When pro· war people say Saddam Hussein won' t hesitate to use biological and chemical weapons and therefore must be stopped immediately, I won- Joan Ryan der how they know, considering that he hasn't used such weapons in more than I 0 years. There are polls that show a majority of Americans believe Iraq is linked to the Sept. II attacks, though no such direct connection has ever been established. A year ago, when talk of war began to heat up, before we lined up behind our respective banners, we were asking the important questions. We should still be asking them. Questions, such as the most basic one: Under what circumstances is war j ustified? War is the death penalty of the world community. In death penalty cases, the crime must be heinous and the standard of proof high. The jurors might be repulsed by the defendant, but they must stick to the presented evidence in reaching their verdict. The burden is on the prosecutor to make the case . . The United States can point fingers at what it considers a lily-livered U.N. jury, but the United States has not made its case against Hussein. It has shown that Hussein has violated U.N . resolutions. But it has not made a convincing argument of why war should be the penalty. This is not to say the Bush administration won' t make it eventually. Perhaps there is more information to be shared, maybe even irrefutable, Perry Mason-like evidence that will draw gasps in the courtroom. But until then, how can the Bush administration expect the United Nations to impose the death penalty with so little compelling evidence? We should be asking, too, whether a pre-emptive strike is ever appro priate. Ju st because it has never been done doesn' t mean it shouldn' t be now. Maybe technological weaponry has changed the balance of world power so fundamentally that a pre-emptive strike is a rational, even visionary, strategy. If you know there is a guy assembling bombs in his garage down the black, do you summon the police to bust up the operation or wait until the guy lights the fuse? Perhaps the analogy doesn't apply to dictators. I don't know. But I know I won't get closer to an answer if, when I raise the question, I'm looked at by the anti-war folks as a deluded hawk and by the pro-war folks as a dope for even having to ask. Hussein is a murderous, dangerous megalomaniac . He is a ruthless dictator whose removal would benefit both his own people and the world. On this nearly everyone agrees. The question is what should be done about him. What is lost in a climate of · absolutes is the inclination, · and freedom, to wrestle with the an>wer.

BY KEVIN KELLY U.S, Britain urge citizens to get out of Kuwait KUWAIT CITY (AP) The United States and Britain urged their citizens to leave Kuwait immediately as war . loomed Monday, citing the risk of chemical or biological attack by Iraq or terrorists. The warning came as U.N. observers stopped all patrols at the heavily fortified IraqKuwait border ahead of a possible U.N. evacuation. Iraq accused the United NatiOns of abandoning its "responsibility in maintainin~ world peace and security.' The United States and Britain have nearly 300,000 . troops in the Pers ian Gulf, mostl y in Kuwait, poised fqr a possible invasion of Iraq. President Bush issued a one-day deadline Sunday for final diplomatic attempts to avert war, meaning the stan of fighting could be just d ays away. The State Department ordered all U.S. government dependents and nonessential staff out of Kuwait, Syria, Israel and the West Bank and Gaza, citing the "deteriorat· ing security situation in the region." Britain likewise pared its embassy to a skeleton staff Monday. Both ~OLt n tri es warned their nationals against travel to Kuwait and urged those already there to get out wh ile commercial llights are still running. "What we would like is for people to take that advice as I say, the word is 'urge ntly,"' a spokestmm for the British Embassy said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The British Embassy was consideri ng extra llights to help evacuate the 3,000 to 3,500 Britons and other Commonwealth citizens in the country. the spokesman said. U.S. Embassy officials said it appeared regular commercial tlights could handle the American departure . Em bassy authorities believe bet wee n 500 and I,000 Americans would leave as a result of the latest warn ing, U.S. Embassy spokesman John Moran said. Most of the 8,000 American civilians who remai n in Kuwait are·military contractors, journalists and children or · spouses of Kuwaiti nationals, he said. Kuwait's international airport was calm early Monday. Any exodus, if it comes, was expected to start with evening flights. Diplomats said Monday's warnings were based on an overall assessment or risk, rather than any new intelligence or threats. With Kuwait the launch pad for any attack, its airport is expected to close for Civilian !lights if hostil ities begin, possibly for several days. The British and U.S. warnings cited the possibility of attacks not just from lr3foi, but from insurge nts withi n Kuwait. 'The threat of terrorism, which is now high and which we believe wi ll rise further in the event of hosti lities .. . also could involve the risk of chemical and biological the Brit ish weapons," Embassy spokesman said. Any Americans remai ning in KLtwait should exercise caution by avoidi ng crowds, keeping a low profile, and varying times and routes for any · trave l, the State Department said. Eru·Iy Monday, the United Nations ra ised its secu ri ty alert on the Iraq-K uwait border, and ordered monitors and other workers there to cease operations immediately. Raising its state of alert again would mean the evacuation of U.N. employees. The U.N. observer mission pulled 400-500 peacekeepers from remote stretches of the border last week.

Knight was up until 2 a.m. receiving treatment on lhe ankle. He gol up early Saturday morning for more. He had to be ready for Pittsburgh's third Big East championship game in as many years. "I wasn't going to miss lhis game for anything," he said. "The only way to miss it would have been if I couldn't walk." Pittsburgh coach Ben Howland knew who his starting point guard would be. "He would have killed me if I tried to keep him out," Howland said. "That didn't even enter my mind." Knight, who was injured in the semifinal win over Boston College, and fellow seniors Donatas Zavackas and Ontario Lett .all got to share in the celebration for the first time as the Panthers (26-4) ended their two-title game losing slreak with their defense, the upperclassmen's leadership and big contributions from some of the underclassmen. "I just can't say enough about our team," said Knight, the conference's player of the year last season. "All the guys came off th\! bench and were great. They all just step up and make plays." Connecticut (21-9), which beat Pittsburgh 74-65 in double overtime in last year's championship pme, mana,ged JUSt six points over the fmal six minu1es as the Panlhers pulled away. The Huskies were trying to tie Georgetown's record of six tournament titles and this one would have been very special for coach Jim Calhoun, who missed· five games during the season for prost11te cancer surgery. "They were the tougher team and wore us down with their mental toughness," Calhoun said. "They held us to 19 points in the second half and won the game with defense and hy doin,g a terrific job of controlling their own offense and defense." Jaron Brown had 19 points 10 rebounds for , and Pittsburgh, which has won nine straight games and held the opponent to less than 60 points in lhe last five of those. Knight had 16 points, while Julius Page, the tourna. ment MVP had 14, and Chevon Troutman 12. Lett and Zavackas were both saddled with foul trouble, but they and Knight were the three seniors with so much on the line. "It makes it more special," Knight said of losing the first two tri~s to the championship. I was feeling like the Buffalo Bills. We finally got over the hump, overcame all the odds and won the game. "We just didn't want to go through that again. That's not a good feeling to go home No. 2 and look at that runnerup trophy." Page, a junior, was also in his third championship game. "I just wasn't going to leave. the floor with us losin¥, because I didn't play hard,' he said. Taliek Brown had 15 points and Ben Gordon added 13 for the Huskies, who shot 32 percc:nt (8-for-25) in the second half and finished with 20 turnovers. Marcus White's free throw with 5:58 to play got Connecticut within 55-51.

Kentucky, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma got lhe lop spots on a Selection Sunday that offered very little controversy, from what teams got in to where they have to travel. Sure, the Florida Gators received a No. 2 seed despite losing three straight games, and Boston College (18-11) was left out even though it won its Big East division. For the most part, however, coaches and players had little to complain about. That doesn't mean it was easy handing out the at-large berths . "College basketball, because of the parity, is getting tougher and tougher to select the 34 teams," said Jim Livengood, selection commiltee chairman and athletic director at Arizona. "This group did the very best job it . could." · Texas will play in the South region, Oklahoma in the East, Arizona out West and Kentucky in the Midwest, all vying for a chance to reach the Final Four, April 5 and 7 in New Orleans. There were still questions about the effect a war would have on the tournament. NCAA officials were busy making contingency plans for security and possible poslponements, but the event would not be canceled, tournament managing director Greg Shaheen said. "Our objective is to honor and respect the times we're living in, but to understand that life must go on," he said. CBS has said it might switch some games to ESPN if there is a war with Iraq. It could also shift the games to another of the networks owned by CBS' parent company, Viacom, such as MTV, UPN, BETorTNN. In this season of parity on the court and troubles off it, Duke, the No. 3 seed in the West, ended its run of five straight years as a top seed. Georgia, expected to be a highly seeded team, Michigan and Fresno State declared themselves ineligible for the tournament because of possible NCAA violations or academic fraud. The Big 12 and Southeastern Conference are sending six teams each to the tournament, and Georgia would have given the SEC a seventh. Five teams each from the Big Ten and Pac10 were selected, while the Atlantic Coast Conference, Conference USA and Big East are sending four each. Boston College isn't one of them. As the brackets were being announced on television, the Eagles grew more nervous. "Everyone fell a litlle bit uncomfortable," coach Al Skinner said. "But we didn't think, until they announced lhe last game, that we wouldn't be up there." UCLA (10-19) ended its string of 14 straight appearances, third on the current list behind Arizona's 19 and Indiana's 18. "I don't think it ever gets old hat," Wildcats coach Lute Olson said. "When you get to the NCAA playotis, I think it's the most exciting time in sports." · Bob Knighl's streak of 16 straight trips to the tournament also ended. He made it from 1986 to 2000 at Indiana, and last year with Texas Tech. He didn't coach in 200 I. Please see Tourney, B:Z DALLAS (AP) - The Oklahoma Sooners headed into the NCAA tournament the same way they went in the last two years - as Big 12 tournament champions. Only this time they had to sweat it out. Hollis Price led a hot start that put No. 6 Oklahoma up 22 points with 15:05 left, but lhe Sooners failed to score another field goal and had to come up with two big defensive stands in lhe final minute to beat Missouri 49-4 7 in Sunday's title game. The Sooners (24-6) were more worried about 'a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament lhan winning this game after Price's 3-pointer made it 46-24. The Tigers (21-10), sapped from playing three tight games in three days, didn't seem capable of having enough energy to rally. Amazingly, Missouri did. Just as amazing was how Oklahoma helped: By missing 14 straight shots and turning the ball over seven times. After scoring just 18 points in the second half of the semifinal overtime win againsl Texas Tech, the Sooners had only 12 over the final 20 minutes against Missouri. Arthur Johnson was the star of the Tigers' rally, scoring 21 points and grabbing II rebounds. Jimmy McKinney was the next-leading scorer with nine points. Seven of those came during an 11-0 run that started to make things interesting. It ended when De'Angelo Alexander made two free throws with 8:49 left, but those would be the last Oklahoma points untiiJ Ebi Ere hit a free throw with 0.3 seconds left. Travon Bryant, whose short jumper at the buzzer knocked off No. 23 Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals, hit a 3-pointer with I :25 left · that got Missouri within 48-47. The Sooners, who kept finding weird ways to foul up possessions, blew their next series by losing the ball out of bounds with one second on the shot clock. Price threw up a long 3-pointer, Missouri rebounded and set up a shot that could have put it ahead for lhe first time. Ricky Cle"/ons had a good look on a 3-pointer from tlu: top of the key with 16 seconds left, but missed. Ere ended up at the free throw line with II seconds to go and missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Johnson grabbed the rebound. Paulding, Rickey Missouri's leading scorer, drove for a layup and his shot went in and out. Quannas White came up with the rebound while on the ground and alertly called time out with 0.8 seconds left. Had he gotten tied up, the Tigers would've gotten the ball on the possession arrow. Please see Sooners, B:Z : Ohio State plays feeble game against Illinois CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois finally · has its Big Ten title. Using their superior size, speed and skill, the 13th-ranked Illini won the Big Ten tournament - and the conference's automatic NCAA bid- with an ·easy 72-59 victory over weary Ohio State on Sunday. Irked at fmishing second to Wisconsin in the regular season, the lllini came to Chicago detennined to prove they're the Big Ten's top team. They leave with their first tournament title in three tries and . a hot streak they hope will carry them all the way 10 the Final Four. The Illini (24-6) have now won eight of their last nine games, with that one loss by one poinl at Wisconsin. Ohio State (17- 14) was playing its fourth game in as many days, and its fatigue showed. The Buckeyes had ·trouble finishing their shots, going 20-of-55 (36 percent) from the field, and they were no match for the Illini inside. If not for yet another monster effort by Brent Darby, who finished with 27 points and six assists, the game would have been a total rout. Illinois is just too deep and too talented. Roger Powell scored 16 points and Big Ten player of the Year Brian Cook added 15 points and seven rebounds for llliinois . James Augustine had his best game of the week, finishing with 12 point~ and 10 rebounds. Sean Harrington also finished in double figures, getting 12 points on 4-of, 5 shooting from 3-point range. The Buckeyes had won their first I. three games by a total of II points, and they had little left to challenge Illinois. Darby made a jumper from just inside the 3-point line to pull Ohio State within 22-17 with 7:53 to play, but the Buckeyes went almost seven minutes without a field goal. Illinois, meanwhile, ripped off an 11-3 run. Powell started it with a driving layup. and Cook capped it by making a free throw after a technical foul to give Illinois a 33-20 lead, its largest of the half. The Buckeyes pulled within 36-25 at halftime, but the Illinoi s came out gunning to stan the second. Cook scored on a putback and then hit a 3pointer, and Powell added a hook shot to give the lllini a 43-27 lead with 17:56 still to play. lllinois wasn't done with its dazzling displays, either. After Darby made two free throws, the lllini rari off seven points in 49 seconds to put the game away. Augustine made an easy layup and Powell drilled a 3-pointer from near NBA range. The Buckeyes didn't even have time 10 set their offense at the other end when Brown stripped the ball and hustled all the way down the court for a fastbreak layup to give Illinois a 52-30 lead with 15:56 to play. But Darby wouldn't let the Buckeyes go down that easily. Sean Connolly made a 3-pointer, and Darby fo llowed with a 3 more from long range, pulling Ohio State within 60-51 with 7:02 to play. · After a timeout to regroup, Augustine made two free throws and Harrington 'drilled a 3-pointer.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 Kris Benson to start the Pirates• open~r FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Elbow surgery prevented Kris Benson from starting the first game in Pittsburgh's PNC Park. Two years later, he'll pitch the first game in Cincinnati 's Great American Ball Park. Pittsburgh manager Lloyd McClendon confirmed Sunday what everyone in the Pirates' camp has known since spring training began Benson is the team's opening day starter March 31 in Cincinnati. McClendon said late last season that Benson would get the 2003 opening day start but, until Sunday, hadn't officially said so this spring. Maybe he was waiting for Benson to make an effective start. After getting roughed up for eight runs and II hits in six innings in his first two starts, he was much better Sunday in a I0-4 victory over the Red Sox. Benson overcame a shaky first innin¥ filled with hardhit line drives and two misplayed fly balls to pitch five mnin¥s, allowing three runs and stx hits. He walked one, struck out three and, for the first time this spring, worked ahead of the hitters. , The only run Benson allowed after the first inning was Kevin Millar's solo homer in the fourth. "I made il couple of mistakes by making some 0-2 pitches too good, but I felt good about the whole day," Benson said. "Everything was back to where it should be mechanics-wise. I kept the ball down, I threw some good fastballs and I had good movement on my pitches." Benson and pitching coach Spin Williams watched tapes between starts and detected that Benson was releasing the ball from a higher point in his delivery than last season. "After we did that, I was lot more confident going into this game," Benson said. "! think I'm real close to where. I should be. This was a big jump. If I can get two more good games here, I'll be where I need to be." At age 28, Benson is being. counted on to become the dominating No. I starter the Pirates have expected since he was the No. I pick in the 1996 draft. Despite pitching on poor teams, Benson was a combined 2 I -26 in I999 and 2000, with respectable ERAs of 4.07 and 3.85. But he missed the 200 I season for reconstructive elbow surgery, then needed until the All-Star break to settle back into the rotation last season. He was dominating over the final six weeks, going 50 with a 2.25 ERA in his final seven starts. He had a 1.72 ERA in his nine wins, compared to a I4.47 ERA in his six losses. Benson will make two more exhibition starts before the season opener - Friday against the Yankees in: Bradenton and March 26 against the Twins in Fort Myers. "He needs to pitch consistently in the strike zone the way he did at the end of last season, and pitch in front of hitters," McClendon said. ' Benson also won't be on' the strict pitch count of a year ago. Then, he wasn't allowed to throw more than 95 pitches. ' "We're not going to Jet him throw 130 pitches, that's for sure," McClendon said. "But I can see him throwing 20 pitches more (per start) than last season. l.think he's capable of doing that, throwing II 0 or 120 pitches. "But we'll watch it, because he's not that far. removed from surgery." Co~ing Thursday in·the Sentinel '" .

I first met "Andy" in my freshman year. We became good friends and shared a fair amount of time with each other. I became very fond of him after several months qf dinners, going to Mass each week and studying together. I finally asked Andy point- blank where our relationship was headed. He responded that relationships "evolve." Although I'm in no hurry to rush into anything, I wouldn't mind a little kiss from Andy now and then. He is very courteous and caring when we're together. He calls our get-togethers "appointments," and if he has to break one (which has happened only twice in two years) he is very apologetic. My question: In developing a serious relationship. how slow is too slow'! PERPLEXED SOME· WHERE IN FLORIDA DEAR PERPLEXED: THIS is too slow. Andy appears to be a master of the noncommittal understatement. He has a way with words, but they ' re not the words you want to hear. You are both young, and you clearly want more than Dear Abby ADVICE Andy wants to offer. I sug· gest you look elsewhere if you're looking for romance. DEAR ABBY: Excuse me? Did I detect the perception of a correlation between "uncool" and "being in the high school band" in recent letters in your column? I played baritone horn in school band and married my childhood s weethean, a tuba player, 22 years ago. We gave binh to a French hornplaying daughter and a trombone- playing son, both all-state band musicians. Our homegrown brass quartet plays together in churches, at festivals and in our local comm~nity band, and I arrange mustc for us. Can life even get any cooler than being able to share brass with your entire family? As they say (to paraphrase just a bit), "The family that PLAYS together, STAYS together!" My advice to your school,age readers is, don't bypass those band people! Our kind of "cool" holds up over time . -KAY IN BASS CLEF, MILFORD, DEL. DEAR KAY: It certainly does. Through music, your children have learned more than the value of teamwork - you live• together in beautiful harmony. What a gift! DEAR ABBY: I am a 75year-old married man. Recently a good friend of mine died. He is survived by his wife. Is it proper for me to call her on a regular basis to see how she is getting along? Would it be more correct to just call her once in a while? Please let me know. FRED IN FLORIDA DEAR FRED: You are a caring friend. It's fine to call her on a regular basis as long as you call her together with your wife. · You and your wife should also, as a couple, invite her out occasionally. Sometimes after a death, friends seem to pull back just when their friendship and support are most needed. I'm sure your friend's widow will appreciate being both remembered and included.

"I understand that it needs to be done, but I hope it can get done as safely as possible and I hope it can get done as quickly as possible," the I 9-year-old college freshinan from Owosso, Mich., said Monday night after the president's speech. lipton was among millions of Americans who watched Bush's televised ultimatum as he set a 48-hour deadline for · Saddam Hussein to leave his counq:y or face military action. of those who listened . to Bush's speech still had reservations about a U.S. military invasion of Iraq, while others . said it's time to topple the Iraqi Some 3 5 6-7 Weather by lrwoma T•Jior• llh tlntcle IEMtem E - r y · mail' to The Sentinel, 111 'Pomeroy,J>H . · droppeij off dictator. "He seemed resolved in light of 9-11 tlwt this is a threat and he doesn 'I want to wait on the snioking gun," Ron DeBlanc, a pastor from Fairborn, Ohio, said of Bush. ''I agree with that. He's got to protect the nation." Virginia Hodges, 49, an account executive from Ridgeland. Miss., also said Saddam must be ousted to prevent future terrorist attacks. "We are just sitting targets," she said. Maurice Foster, a 20-yearold political science major at Alabama State University in Montgomery, said he didn't believe Bush made his case. "It seems like he's thinking about what's in the best interest of the United States," Foster said, ''but has failed to consider the-rest of the world, and I think he should have taken that into consideration.'' Jessica Robinson, 18, of Worcester, Mass., among a crowd of 100 people clustered around a man holding a radio in of a war on the ,Iraqi people.

"I think President Bush is just nying to think of something to take away from what's going right now in our own country - unemployment - and taking away money from education and putting it into war," she said A CNN-USA Thday-Gallup poll released Monday showed the American ~blic generally supports Bush s plan to oust Saddarn. The survey found that 57 peroelll think the president has made a conviocmg case about the need for : military action against IraQ. Opinion was almost evenly divided when people were questioned about an attack without an attempt to gain U.N. support. Some of those gathered around television sets Monday night worried a:bout the impact "Certainly, we don't sympathize with Saddarn Hussein," said retired research economist Monzer Kahf, who emigt'!lled from Syria in 1971 and now lives in Westminster, Calif. ''The real wony is the people in the area. The whole area is going to be inflamed. It doesn't take a match to bum it. It's already burning." Iraqi native Casey Ma:hbuba, who emigrated to the United States in 1992, said he looks forwrud to the day when the Iraqi dictator is gone. "Wedon'tcare what happens to him," he said as he watched the president's speech with friends in Dearborn, Mich., home to one of the largest Iraqi populations in the nation.
