My lOth-grade daughter was in the same boat, .always the tiniest and suffenng from comments made not only by other kids, but by adults as well. Please let "Anonymous Girl's" parents know they should see a pediatric endocnnologist as quickly as possible. Their daughte't may be a candidate for treatment with HGH (human growth hormone), which many insurance companies have recently allowed as 'a pharmaceutical deduction rather than a medical expense, making treatment much more affordable. Time is of .the essence! Once the growth plates close, the window of opportunity also closes. For children who do not produce enough growth hormone, the treatment is a medical necessity. - JERI IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR JERI: Thank you for an important letter. I did not realize that the solution to the girl's problem might be solved by medical intervention. Her letter generated comments from many readers who wanted to help. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Please let that young girl in on a secret. Dear Abby ADVICE The kids who tease her are not making fun of her because she's short. They do it because they're worried someone is going to find a reason to make fun of THEM. They're trying to make themselves look good by making her look bad. When I was in fifth grade, I was made fun of for being tall. By focusing attention on someone else, they deflect criticism from themselves. - MANDY IN COLORADO DEAR MANDY: You've hit the nail on the head. DEAR ABBY: The girl who's teased should give a big laugh and say, "I like to think of myself as perfection in miniature!" It worked for me. -SUZANNE IN SEATTLE DEAR ABBY: The child in North Dakota should know that the Greek philosopher, Aristocles, was very shon, too. His nicknames were "Shorty" or "Fiatty." We know him today as Plato. -FRANCIS A. BURKLE-YOUNG, GETIYSBURG COLLEGE DEAR ABBY: An interviewer asked a short-statured man how he felt being surrounded by people taller than he. His reply was priceless: "Like a dime among pennies." -CATHERINE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: Please tell that ~irl to get involved in competiuve cheerleading or gymnastics. In either sport, small size can be an advantage. In cheerleading, the s"mallest girls get to be the "fliers," the ones who are tossed in the air or at the top of the stunts. This is true of my daughter. It has boosted her confidence. She now views her height as an asset rather than a liability. MOTHER IN S.E. TEXAS DEAR ABBY: The plea from the child in North Dakota touched my heart. I. too, have always been short. My defense was to become an achiever in class and in athletics. (I later became a doctor.) The best response to people who tease should be, "That's the way God made me, and I do the best I can with what I was given." Detractors have a difficult time fielding that response. VERO ALBERT IN BEACH, FLA. DEAR ABBY: My daughter had the same problem. Finally she looked at her tormentor Support •those who serve~ Page A& Tuesday, March 25, 2003. and said, "Yes, I am short.

The girl never bothered her again. - PROUD MOM IN HONOLULU DEAR PROUD MOM: Which proves there is no defense like a strong offense .. (Thank you to everyone who wrote.

In Baghdad, lmqi officials said two cruise missiles hit a residential area, killing 14. Intelligence officers with the I st Marine Expeditionary Force said the Republican Guard units were headed from Baghdad on a route that avoids advancing U.S. Army forces but leads directly to the Marines who have been fighting in recent days around the city of An Nasiriyah. The advance appeared to signal that the Republican Guard, Saddam Hussem's best trained and most loyal force, was still prepared to take the offensive despite days of allied air strikes and missile attacks on its positions. In the far south, British forces fought on the fringes of the beleaguered city of Basra, where Iraqi militiamen also Reading the you in tune what's happening now, whether irs aaoss the globe or in your own backyard.

The flfSt substantial relief convoy reached the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr after weathenng a blinding sandstorm in its trip north from Kuwait. The U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division drew to within SO miles of Baghdad, west of where the Republican Guard was advancing. Other American forces were expected to join soon in squeezmg the capital from several directions. A military source said the U.S. Central Command now had evidence that the Iraqi re~ime had wired many of the bndges around Baghdad for destruction. Iraqi officials said the U.S. missile attack in Baghdad killed 14 and injured 30 in the AlShaab neighborhood, an area crowded with apartment~. auto repair shops and inexpensive restaurants. Associated Press Television News footage showed a large crater in the middle of a street, a child with a head bandage, and bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting in a pickup truck. Hundreds of people stood in front of a damaged building, some shaking fists in · the air and shouting. U.S. Central Command was checking the report of the missile attack. En route to Baghdad, units from the 7th Cavalry Regiment fought a fierce running battle with Iraqi forces near the central city of Najaf. According to preliminary reports from American military officials, U.S troops killed up to 500 Imqi fighters, suffering the loss of two tanks but no casualties. Hoping to cripple the lmqi government's communications, the allies attacked the state-run television headquarters in Baghdad before dawn Wednesday with missiles and air strikes. The station's international satellite signal was knocked off the air for a few hnurs; broadcasts were intermittent after daybreak. Iraq's informatiol) minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, accused the U.S.-British coalition of striking civili<m areas in several cities, notably An Nasiriyah, where he said more than 500 people were injured and 200 homes destroyed. AlSahhaf also contended that the allies did not have full control of Umm Qasr, where the food convoy arrived, and were holding only the dock area. Around Basra, British forces on the edge of the city waged artillery battles with more than 1,000 Iraqi militiamen, who reportedly also faced some sort of insurrection by Shiite Muslim civilians opposed to · Saddam. ''Truthfully, the reports are confused, but we believe there was some limited form of u~ris­ ing," British Prime Mimster Tony Blair told Parliament members Wednesday.

The sign for Obetz, population 3,977, will be among the first to go as part of repaving and widening a stretch of Alum Creek Drive near Inierstate 270 just southeast of Columbus. The village should not be removed from the exit sign, administrator Odis Jones said. "We are a distribution point for a lot of trucks coming into the community," he said. Small towns still have corporation-limit signs on the highway to notify motorists, Mendicino said. "This is not something that's intended to be punitive, and it's not something against Obetz or any other comhmnity," she said. • The Daily Sentinel Local News TIME OUT FOR TIPS Investing beyond stoCks and bonds Recentl y we found out about various types of savings strategies and stocks and bonds. Now we'll discover other types of investments. Remember to always consult a financial advisor to determine the best investment plan for you. Mutual funds are a popular way to invest. They are companies designed to take the money given by its shareholders to invest it in a number of ways. These in~stment companies · have professional managers who can easily buy and sell stocks and bonds. By pooling the shareholders' money, the mutual fund provides a broad diversification, based upon the mutual fund's objectivr. at a relatively lowcost to the investor. The mutual fund will have one of a variety of objectives on which they base their exchange philosophy. Mutual funds that have income as its objective will protably invest in bonds and/or preferred stock. If its objective is income and safety, it may look into government bonds or preferred stock. Moderate growth funds might secure preferred and common stock. Aggressive growth funds may concentrate on buying stock in small, growth companies. Check the company's prospectus to see its objective, invested securities, risk level , earnings ' record, and fees. Mutual funds charge a yearly management fee. Some funds may have charges for PageA3 property, one has to really understand the rental business. Another option is being part of a limited partnership.

WEBSITE DIRECTORY for only a $1 a day. BY Lou HoRVATH Contributor ,, ' . Medicare Question: Fm 58 and still working. My husband is turning 65 and is already retired and getting Social Security. He's covered by my employer's health insurance. Does he need to take and pay for Medicare? Answer: Yes and no, About three months before his 65 th birthday, he's going to get a package of Medicare enrollment information in the mail. He should take ' the "Part A" coverage because that is free. But he can decline the "Part B" coverage as long as he's covered by your employer's insurance. That will save him $58.70 per month. When you retire, or if your husband otherwise loses his coverage through your employer, then he should file immediately for Part B if he wants coverage to begin that month. There will be no penalties or late enrollment fees as long as he files during the sevenmonth special enrollment period. which begins either when you retire or when his coverage ends (whichever comes first). If he delays longer than that, he'll have to wait until January of the following year for the next "open season" for Medicare enrollment. And then he will pay a lO percent penalty for delayed enrollment. Question: I am a retired federal employee collecting a civil servtce pension. But I also get a small Social Security benefit. I also have Medicare. But I'm wondering if I need it. I'm covered by my federal health insurance . Do you think I can save myself $58.70 per month . by dropping my Medicare Part B coverage? Answer: You should ask vour federal insurance provider for advice. If the provider says it will pay all your medical expenses for the rest of your life, then you probably don't need Part B coverage. But if the provider says your federal insurance is not the primary coverage, or that there are some expenses Medicare pays that the provider's plan does not, then take the Part B coverage. Question: I just learned I have diabetes and may have to stop working. I'll turn 42 in a couple of months. I have a wife and a 10-year-old daughter. I currently make about $30,000 peryear. If I go on Social Security disability, how much would my family and I get? Answer: Your disability benefit will be based on your lifetime earnings. In 2003, the average disability benefit paid to a worker with a spouse and one child is $1,395 per month. You can get an estimate by checking your Social Security Statement. You should have received several already because we mail them annually about three months before your birthday. Or, if you've got a computer, you can go to www.social security. gov and get an estimate of your disability benefits by checking out our benefits planner. Question: Do I need to get a copy of all my medical files if l plan to apply for Social Security dtsability benefits? Answer: It could speed up the processing of your claim if you bring your medical records . But don't delay filing while you try to assemble all those records. We have special procedures for obtaining medical files. Just bring along a complete list of every doctor, clinic and hospital where you've received Operation Enduring Freedom 368th CTC II Trans.

Begin talking at the tone. 0 Local Briefs Lets show appreciation for troops Last week, I stood in a gymnasium before 400 National Guard and reserve soldiers and over 2,000 of their friends, family and community members. A few weeks before this send-off. these soldiers received deployment orders that will take them to the Middle East, most likely Kuwait. Looking out at these soldiers standing in forn1ation in their BDUs, I was humbled as I thought about these men and women leaving their friends, family and loved ones for many months in order to fight for you, me and every other American. I shared with them how proud I am of their skill and dedication, and how grateful we all are for their service to our country. You see, we are in an era of an all-volunteer U.S. military. Like all of us, they don't want to leave their friends or their families behind, and in the case of these guardsmen and reservists, they don't want to leave their jobs or their lives behind. But they selflessly do so because they want to do their pan to ensure that their children and their children's children will grow up in a world that is more safe and more just than it is today. Ted Strickland I was touched by the emotional support the community showed in seeing them off. Like their families and their communities, I do not want to see them going on to war. But I, too. could not help but be swept up by the pride those families and that community showed in these brave men and women. Whether we supported this war from the beginning or have continuing doubts. we should all support the men and women in uniform who are risking their lives in hopes of a safer world and a brighter future. Our armed forces are the best-trained in the world, and the,Y will do everything withm their power to see that this war is decisive and swift. We will continue to support them, not just in the opening days of this attack, but until they have all returned home. Over the past months, I've voice my concerns about the necessity of a pre-emptive strike . But those reservations do not in any way diminish the sense of pride, gratitude and indebtedness I feel for the brave men anu women who are carrying out this dangerous mi ssion in the deserts of the Middle East. Many of us would like to show our support fur American forces in some way. On my website, I have gathered some resources that can keep us informed and help us support the troops. At w ww.house .gov /strickland/ you will find two links for war information. One of the links has information that is of special interest to the families of reservists . The other contains Department of Defense websites with information about Iraq, advice for parents who are seeking to help children understand current events, resources for teachers who are answering question s from students about war, and links to major news sources. On this page, you will lind a link to Operation Dear Abby, a website sponsored by the military and inspired by Dear Abby herself. This effort began in 1967 when a service member wrote to Dear Abby and asked for letters from home; she in turn organized a letter-writing campa·ign to · U.S. service members overseas. It has now moved to the Internet. The Operation Dear Abby website provides an opportunity to e-mail messages of encouragement and thanks to the soldiers in the Middle East. Whether it be this or some other act of kindness, I hope that each of us will find a way to show our support and thanks to our military men and women during this war. I hope and pray for their safe return, the swift success of their mission, and a brighter day for the people of Iraq. As always, please let me know what you think about this and other important issues. Write to Congressman Ted Strickland, 336 Cannon HOB, Washington D.C. 20515; or call (202) 2255705. (U.S. Rep.

Might as well get the phone and fax in there, too. You could be instant messaging and drying your hair at the same time . Maybe add a breakfast nook. And some lounge chairs for friends and family when they come to visit. I can already predict the next big trend in bathroom design. Architects and developers wi II soon offer a small bathroom off your main bathroom, so you can get a little pri vacy.

Field archaeologist Jonathan Haas called the excavation an example of Hscience run amok." and said the bo.\es never should have been disturbed. The Field Museum 's remains, mostly skull s, were dug up during an expedition to the Queen Charlotte Islands in the early 1900s . At the time. museums had set cmt "to get some of everything in natural history," Haas said. "We thought we could go out and collect the diversity of the world: You collect one emu and you collect one Haida ." Traditionally, Haida dead were buried in the ground, caves or funeral boxes atop mortuary poles. Negotiations for the return of the remains began two years ago, after an inqu iry from the Haida Nation . Because the remains are from Canada, they are not covered by the U.S. repatriation law. which requires museums receiving federal funds to submit inventories of human remains, funerary objects. sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony to the tribes from which they originated . Haida Nati on member Andrea Bell. who saw the bones earlier this month, said the Field was returning the remains freely. · She said all that is known about the bones ' origins was which village they came from. "We believe there's a spirit still attached to these remains. and they don ' t belong in metal cabinets," she said. Last year, the Haida reclaimed about 48 remains from the American Museum of Natural Hi story in New York. Teen found with ex-con in California returns home SUSANVILLE, Calif. (AP) A Michigan teenager found safe after spending 23 days with a convicted murderer told the California Highway Patrol officers who located her that she wants to follow in their footsteps. Lindsey Diane Ryan , 14, told the officers her new career ambition is to be a CHP officer. She said she hopes to return to California in a year to meet them again. Lindsey was reunited with her mother at the -Susanville airport Tuesday and the pair immediately departed on a flight home to Michigan . They arrived in the late afternoon and were greeted by Lindsey's father, Patrick Ryan, and Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood Jr. Calls to the family home were not returned Tuesday evening. After her reunion with Lindsey, 41-year-old Carol Ryan said of her daughter. "She's shaken and not sure what this all means for her, but she's glad to be home and she's cooperating and talking." The mother added that "she got more and more relaxed on the way home." Convicted murderer Terry Drake, 56, remained. in custody in Susanville at the Lassen County jail on a federal warrant of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. . Federal authorities in Michi$an were considering additional charge s. Drake could be also extradited to Michigan on state charges, including criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Lassen County District Attorney Robert Burns was holding Drake on preliminary charges of child concealment and being a felon in possession of a firearm, and was deciding whether to try him. Those charges could bring a life u·nder sentence California's three-strikes law. "Federal authorities want him. I'm trying to decide whether I'll let them or nol," Burns said . "He should not see the light of day for the rest of his life." Two CHP officers, acting on a tip, stopped Drake and Lindsey without incident Monday. Drake acknowledged his identity when the pair were stopped in Standish, Calif., about 90 miles northwest of Reno. Police found two stolen guns hidden at the remote Sierra Nevada campsite north of Susanville along the California-Nevada state line where the pair spent much of their time. They also found three others in Drake's pickup truck. Guns, ammunition and $4,000 were discovered missing from Lindsey ' s home March I, when she slipped out her bedroom window to meet up with Drake, police said. Drake, who is married , spent 16 years in prison after being convicted of murdering a woman from the Evansville, Ind .. area, in 1977 . He and Lindsey met at church and, with · out her parents' knowledge. corresponded over the Internet. Residents of War, W.Va., turn thoughts toward fighting in Iraq WAR, W.Va.

Agents arrest former ambassador House recognizes Black Brigade NEW YORK (AP) - The former Bosnian ambassador to the United Nations said he would fight . extrauition to his home country, where he is accused of stealing more than $2.4 million. Muhamed Sacirbegovic, 46, was arrested Tuesday. He said through his courtappointed attorney that he was eager to "establish his innocence." The Bosnian government has accused him of stealing more than $2.4 million about $1.8 million from the nation' s Investment Fund Ministry and more than $600,000 from the account of Bosnia's representation at the United Nations . The alleged theft meant Bosnia could not pay some of its bills to the United Nations, including rent and telephone bills, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. U.S . Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman said an extradition hearing would be held soon. Federal prosecutors said they would move for Sacirbegovic's extradition to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where a judge issued a warrant for his arrest in December 200 I. But his attorney, Steven Statsinger, said he planned to fight extradition because his client "has very strong ties to this country." He is married. lives on Staten Island and had recently started a business, Stat singer said outside court. He declined to describe the business. In Sarajevo, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Miranda Sidran said Bosnian officials had not yet been in.formed about the arrest and could not comment. Sacirbegovic served as ambassador to the United Nations for Bosnia beginning in 1992 and left the office in 2000, federal prosecutors said in court papers. The ambassador' s name has been spelled different ways in legal documents and news reports . "Sacirbegovic" is the spelling used in court filings Tuesday and · by the Bos nian government in 200 I when it announced the results of its theft investigation . Bo snian and U.S . media have often used "Sacirbey," a spelling used by th e U.S. Marshals Servi ce in announcing the arrest Tuesday. The House approved a resolution honoring a brigade of black residents of Cincinnati who helped defend the city during the Civil War.

DiDi Reynolds scored 16 for Ohio State, shooting 4-for-5 on 3-point attempts. Caity Matter also scored 16 and Courtney Coleman had 12 points and II rebounds. Both Ohio State and Louisiana Tech rely on. their inside games and defense. Tech held the Buckeyes scoreless for almost eight minutes in the second half. A!though Ford struggled early as Ohio State double- and triple-teamed her under the basket , she adjusted late in the first half and so did Tech . Ford picked up her third foul three minutes into the second half, but Frierson took up the slack, scoring thre~ quick baskets to stretch the Techsters' lead to 55-46 with 1.4:15 left. . After a couple of turnovers in the first minute, the Buckeyes settled down and led 27-20 with 9:13 left. Tech tied it at 27 on Ford 's basket with 7: 13 remaining and were up 45 39 at halftime . Before the game, Tech coach Kurt Budke dismissed junior center Sultra Harding from the team . Budke said . Harding was released for conduct l!letrimental to the team.

Baseball Preview '03 Casey • • s1gn1ng away Around the bases from A-Z Sean Casey likes giving, getting BY MIKE FITZPATRICK .autographs Associated Press BY JOE KAY Associated Press SARASOTA, Fla. Forty-five minutes after the final out, Sean Casey is still working his way down the right-field stands, signing autographs in his sweat-drenched uniform. A hundred or so Cincinnati Reds fans have stuck around, waiting for the affable first baseman to make eye contact, say hello and write his name on every scorecard, ball, bat and hat that's handed over the red-painted railing. That's Casey. Several times every spring, he plays and then stays until the last fan has a smile and an autograph. He does it because he's a nice guy and an autograph collector himself. He remembers asking for autographs as a youth and knows what it's like to be rejected as well as rewarded. To Casey, an autograph is a precious thing. "Som~ guys don't want to be bothered with it," he said Tuesday. "That's fine. The bottom line Is, it might put a smile on somebody's face. That's the point: It makes somebody happy. "I get stories back from people about how you took two seconds out of your day to sign an autograph and it makes their day. It's neat to know you can . have that kind of impact." With that attitude, Casey is one of the most accessi· ble players in baseball. He welcomes autograph seekers when he's out in public, feeling no sense of inconvenience. "I don't mind at all if eople ask me, because 've done the same thing," he said. He even knows that queasy feeling of approaching a star and wondering how they'll react when their name is f Plelie see Clsey. 81 (Milwaukee). Job security is tenuous these days - only seven of 30 managers are in the same place they ended the 2000 season. Not even winning can guarantee stability. Just look at Baker. Days after losing Game 7 of the World Series, Baker departed San Francisco. He became the first pennant-winning manager not to,eturn to his team since Dick Williams left Oakland following the 1973 season . Long-standing differences with Giants owner Peter Magowan led to the split, and the Cubs were the beneficiaries. Chicago hopes Baker can be the one to finally turn baseball 's lovable losers into winners. They've lost 90-plus games in four of the last six seasons and have posted a winning record just six times in the past 30 season s - never in consecutive years. "My job js to lea( .:1e guys in the direction toward the pennant," Baker said. "I ' m not playing anymore, but I do know the direction. I know the road map on how to get there from being in that situation before. And that's my job. To help direct them, to help show them the way to the finish line ." Baker didn 't take long to win over the Cubs' players, many of whom grew tired of Don Baylor before he was fired last year. Baker's success dealing with Barry Bonds makes it easier to handle a superstar like Sammy, Sosa. And even the less~r players are enJoying a skipper who has won as both a player and a manager. "It's a dream of every player to play for Dusty Baker," catcher Damian Miller said. ·"He's a player 's manager. yet there 's so much more to it. He's just special." A quick trip around the bases for 2003, from A to Z: A - Altitude. The spring training slugfests in Mexico City between the Mets and Dodgers made Coors Field look like a pitcher's park. Something to think about if baseball plans to put a team south of the border anytime soon. B - Bat Boys. No more cute kids bouncing around the dugout because baseball implemented the "Darren Baker rule," an age requirement of 14 for bat boys. Baker, the 4-year-old son of Cubs manager Dusty Baker, was nearly run over at home plate when he wandered into the action during last year's Series between World Baker's old team, the San Francisco Giants , and the Anaheim Angels. C ....:. Converted Closers. After Derek Lowe's big year for Boston, more teams are trying to turn relief aces into starters. Cincinnati's Danny Graves (32 saves) and Arizona's Byung-Hyun Kim (36 saves) hope to make smooth transitions into the rotation. D - Death Valley.

Roberto Alomar of the New York Mets and Atlanta catcher Javy Lopez are among the Puerto Rican·born stars looking forward to playing at home . F - Free Agents.

Bl Chicago Cubs' manager Dusty Baker, right, has a laugh with San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds before their game Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz. Baker managed the Giants last season. (AP) . . New managers face unfamiliar situations MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Tacked up on the bulletin board in Dusty Baker's new office is a baseball card with pictures of highlights from last year's World Series. Memories of the Series might be as close as Baker gets now that he's in charge of the Chica~o Cubs. Baker left a pennant-winning team m San Francisco to take over. a club that hasn't been to the Series since 1945 and hasn't won it since 1908. "There's nowhere to go but up," the always optimistic Baker said. ''I'm not really looking as to why they haven't won. I' m trying to figure out how to win." Baker isn't the only new manager who moved into a situation completely different from his previous one. Felipe Alou, who took over for Baker in San Francisco, has a championship team after years of overseeing fire sales in Montreal. New Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella has never lost 90 games in a season and leads a team that has lost more than 90 games every season and at least I00 in the past two. Buck Showalter goes from managing Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling three years ago in Arizona to a pitching staff in Texas that has been one of baseball's worst. "I don't have a lot of time to dwell on it," said Showalter, who worked the past two years in television. "I want to establish a certain credibility here. It doesn't happen overnight ."

The Yankees' payroll for 'lullury-tax purposes, including all players on the 40-man roster and benefits, is projected to exceed $180 million. M- Monster. How'd you like to watch a ballgame while sitting atop the most famous landmark in sports? The Boston Red Sox are adding 280 seats atop the Green Monster at Fenway Park. The new section above the 37-foot .wall in left field is slated to open April 29, and seats cost $50 each. Standing room tickets are $20. N - Neck Brace. Alex Rodriguez has not missed a game since signing a $252 million deal with Texas two years ago, but he left spring training for a few days with a herniated disc in his neck. If the problem lingers, new manager Buck Showalter and the Rangers should brace themselves for a dismal season . 0 - Old Timers. The come back by New York Mets pitcher David Cone, 40, is shaping up as a success. The right-hander, who sat out the 2002 season , could wind up as the No. 5 starter.

W - Windy City. Long suffering Chicago fans might finally have something to cheer about. Buoyed by promising young pitching staffs, the Cubs and White Sox could both contend this year.

The heatstroke death of Baltimore pitcher Steve Bechler during spring training after taking RFA I, an Xenadrine ephedra-based .diet pill, has baseball officials deciding whether to ban on the supplement. Under the new labor agreement, players are already being tested for illegal steroids. Y Yost. New Milwaukee manager Ned Yost spent four years as a backup catcher with the Brewers. His claim to fame? His only home run of the 1982 season came at Fen way Park in late September and gave M iIwaukee a fourgame lead in the AL East with five to play. The Brewers went on to win the pennant and haven 't made the playoffs since. Yost occasionally worked on Dale Earnhardt 's pit crew before the driver's death and wears No. 3 in honor of his friend . Z Zito.

But don't expect the celebrity tour to affect this Oakland oddball at all. Wednesday, March 26, 2003 www.mydallysentlnel.com Casey from Page 81 requested. He did it just last fall . Casey showed up for a celebrity softball game to close Cinergy Field, toting a bat, ball and other items into the clubhouse for Pete Rose to sign. He'd never met Rose and was n't sure how he'd react. " You do get nervous at times," Casey said. "Pete Rose made me a little nervous. You get the big-time, Hall of Fame-type guys, they make you nervous, until you find out they're good guys." As he walked into the starfilled clubhouse that day, Casey's eyes grew wide, his mouth dropped open and he told reporters he felt like he was in heaven. " It was cool," Casey said Tuesday. "I acted like a little kid." His first autographs as a youth - Joe Girardi and 'Jerome Walton. One of his earliest was Ken Griffey Jr., when the outfielder was still an up-and-coming minor leaguer. Casey 's collection includes luminaries such as Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Reggie Jac kson, Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt and members of the Big Red Machine. Most of his autographed memorabilia is stored away. "I'll display it in my house someday," he said. "I' ll build a house when I'm done playing and have a nice room for memorabilia." One autograph he doesn 't have - former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Greg Lloyd. As a minor league player, Casey was on the same flight with Lloyd and privately tried to get his autograph for a friend who was a Steelers fan . Lloyd turned him down. "A few years later, he came into Three Rivers Stadium to get Griffey's autograph," Casey said. "I looked at him in a different way. I thought . he should have taken' one second and signed when it was just me and him."

"I think I'll put on a good · enough show for the people that have paid their money to come and watch us play." The McDonald 's AllAmerican staff limited reporters to questions about the game during a I 0-minute news conference Tuesday with James. The request was made by James' family. ' A McDonald's staff member wouldn' t let James answer a reporter's question of whether he felt a need to impress NBA scouts in the gan1e. Cameras snapped before the news conference as James ate lunch with players from the McDonald's girls team. James joked, "What do I look like?" when one asked him to get up and grab some drinks off a nearby drink table. He returned smiling with a couple of Powerades. "He's cool," said Ivory Latta, winner of the girl's 3point competition. "He'll make you laugh." Brittany Hunter of Columbus, who competed against James in the slam dunk competition but missed on three tries, was amused by the media attention. "It's funny. You walk somewhere and a camera is right in your face," she said. James' senior year iPcluded an investigation by the Ohio High School Athletic Association after his mother gave him a $50,000 Hummer sport utility vehicle for his 18th birthday. The association later ruled that he was ineligible for · "h b k" acceptmg two t row ac sports jerseys valued at a combined $845 from a Cleveland clothing store. James' family had to go to court to get him reinstated. James has not commented on whether he will tum pro or on the anticipated shoe endorsement deal that will make him a millionaire in the coming months. For now, he's still a high school player - the most eelebrated one in history of high school basketball.

COLLEGE MOREHEAO STATE-Named Jaime Gordon women's volleyball coach, effective April t. PORTLAND. Ore. (AP) Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen didn ' t get to play against each other one ]a·st time. So Jordan put on ·a show all by himsel f. With his former teammate watching in street clothes from the Portland bench, Jordan scored 25 points as the Wizards held off a late rally for a 95-91 victory over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. The final regular-season meeting between Jordan aqd Pippen, who played togeth~r on the Chicago Bulls teams that won six NBA champi onships in the 1990s, was derailed when Pippen went on the injured li st following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee . Jordan has said he plans to retire after this season. The only way they would face each other again is if the Wizards and Trail Blazers meet in the NBA Finals. The Wizards, fighting with Milwaukee for the final playoff spot in the East, snapped·a three-game losing streak. The Blazers, who are jockeying for playoff position but have lost four of their last six games, trailed by as many as 13 points but rallied to cut h to two in the fourth quarter. They trimmed the margin to 79' 77 on Jeff Mcinnis' short jumper with 5:38 to go and kept it close un(il Jordan's 22-foot jumper gave the Wizards a 92-87 lead and the cushion they needed . The Wizards had lost eight • straight against the Blazers, and had not won at the Rose Garden since 1998. Washington led by as marty as II points in the first quarter, outshooting the Blazers 55 percent to 27.3 percent. Jordan was 5-of-6 from the floor. Bonzi Wells led the Blazers with 20 points and 1·0 rebounds.

He's my boss and he's really hot. "Rod" and I started sleeping together al,most a year ago, and he's told me all along that he cares a lot for me. My problem is he says he can' t "be" with me, because he can't give me what I deserve emotionally -he can only fulfill my physical needs. So, in my head I'm saying, "OK, that's better than nothing." Rod bought me a car and has been generous in the money department. But a couple of months ago, he started seeing this other girl. I refer to her as the ''Sexless Unwilling Virgin." Rod says he loves her, but he still wants to sleep with me. I don't understand why he doesn't love me, and I can't figure out why he's never taken me out on a real date. Lately he only stays overnight when he doesn't have anything else to do. I know he cares for me, and that we have a history he doesn't have with the "S.U.V." Should I keep sticking it out? I can't stop hoping that one day we'll end up being a real couple. Rod means the world to me. I'd do almost anything for him. What do you think? IN LOVE WITH THE HOT Dear Abby ADVICE ROD DEAR IN LOVE: Idle your motor. The man you have described appears to be fulfilling your material and physical needs-- but not your emotional ones. It's up to you to decide how long you can live with two out of three. I hope you' ll soon wake up to the fact that you are being used, and that it will spur you to find a man who truly loves you and is willing to make a commitment. DEAR ABliY: My mother and I have a, 1ys agreed that we don't int '·• ~re with each other's decis.ons. Emotional support and 1· 'bits of advice are welcome - but no meddli~g. This worked wel_I for. us unul· she met "Don ' mne months ago. They're currently living together and plan to be married this summer. Don spends his afternoons at the neighborhood bar, has worked only two weeks since Mom has known him (he was fired for stealing), has been arrested for shoplifting, and lies about his "war experience" in hopes of gaining sympathy. (He never served a day 111 the military. I checked.) Mother is one of those women who are incapable of living alone. Her second hushand of eight years died suddenly last year, and since then her life has been anything but normal and stable. My sister flat-out told her how she feels about Don ("Dump the loser") and now they're not speaking. I don't want to harm our relationship, but Mom constantly asks me for money I don't have. What am I supposed to say to her, Abby? - TOO EXASPERATED FOR WORDS IN ARKANSAS DEAR EXASPERATED: Tell her no, and tell her why. ·Explaining that you have no intention of supporting her freeloading fiance is not rueddhng. It's a bracmg dose of the truth, and a glimpse of what lies ahead for her. Your mother needs to know now that although you love her, you refuse to d•spense dollars like an ATM machine, and sh_e deserves someone who wtll treat her far better than Don does.

"Basically., the military is trying to avoid bulk packages and unsolicited mail being sent overseas, which could present a real danger to our troops," said Foley. . "There are some people who will take advantage of lhe generosity of others and use it as a means to introduce hazardous substances into the military mail system," he added. "Unsolicited mail, packages and donations from organizations and unknown individuals also compete for limited airlift SJ?ace used to transport supflies, warfighting materia and mail from family and lovf!d ones," Foley said. 25 COUnts "It chokes the system and prevents mail sent by family members and loved ones from reaching soldiers on the battlefield in a timely fashion," he added. Recently, DOD officials · became aware of organizations and individuals continuing to support some form of the "Any Service Member" program by using the names and address.es of i'ndividual service members and unit addresses. "Programs like these are usually supported by wellintentioned, thoughtful and patriotic groups who are simply unaware of the new risks facing deployed military forces," said officials. "Some individuals and groups publicize the names and addresses of service members, ships or units on Web sites. The result is a potential danger to the troops they wish to support." Officials added they cannot support creative and well-intentioned efforts that defeat force protection mea·sures, but can instead recommend alternatives to mail and donation programs. To show support to troops overseas, the following are recommended: • Log on to the following web sites to show support, to include greeting cards, virtual "thank you" cards and calling card donations to help troops stay in contact with loved ones www.defendamerica.mil/su pporttroops.html; www.usoc ares. org/home. htm; www.army.mil/operations/ir aq/faq.html; • Visit Department of Veterans Affam hospitals and nursing homes. Volunteer services to honor veterans who served in past conflicts; • Family members and loved ones can send packages safely through the Service United Organizations at USOOperation USO Care in care of Package, Pentagon Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 19221, Alexandria, Va.. 22320; or log on to www. uso.org/ for more information. "Mail from family members and loved ones has always been encouraged and the military mail system will continue to work hard to get'that mail to service members overseas," said Foley.

Reed) I Dental clinic reopens to serve local need BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor MIDDLEPORT The Appalachian Dental Clinic, a service provided through funding acquired by the · Meigs County Health Department, reopened this week after closing down in December when the dentist left. The clinic, designed to serve low-income, uninsured and underinsured Meigs countians, reopened in its original location, the Pickens building on South Third Street in Middleport. Dale M. White, D.D.S., of Athens, currently a contract dentist with the Hocking Correctional Facility and the Athens County Health Department, has accepted the position and is now working at the clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Norma Torres, Meigs County health commissioner, said that there are plans to increase the number of days White works at the Middleport Clinic once additional funding is in place. The facility operates now on ' the balance of a $200,000 Appalachian Regional Commission gmnt awarded to open the clinic in 200 I, along with some money from the local health levy, according to Torres. She noted that her agency has applied for an additional ARC gmnt and has been given every assurance that it will be granted. Beth Cremeans is the dental clinic office manager and also serves as assistant to White. A registered dental hygienist is also on staff on a part-time basis. Payment for services is on a sliding fee scale with the minimum being $10. Full service dental care is available, Torres reported. The health commissioner said that demand for low-cost dental care in the county is extremely high. She noted that during the 15 months the clinic was in operation, a total of I,461 visits were made for dental work. The clients, she said, were 52 percent low income, 46 percent with Medicare card, and 2 percent with private insurance.

It reopened this week. Joe McCloud was one of Dr. White's first patients. Assisting the dentist here is Bethany Cremeans, who also serves as office manager. (Charlene Hoeflich) currently located in the Pickens building, Torres said that if a Community Health Clinic is opened in the Veterans Memorial Hospital building, she is hopeful that the dental clinic can be moved there.
