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.

The Senate agreed to this provision in last year's energy bill, but the bill died during compromise negotiations with the House. This year, Sen. George Voinovich. · R-Ohio, and other fann state lawmakers have rein· traduced the provision a~ an amendment to the Clean Air Act. "It is crucial that we become less dependent on foreign sources of oil and look more to domestic sources to meet our energy needs," said Voinovich, chijjrrnan of the Senate Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate Change and Nuclear Safety. The provision, which the Bush administmtion supports, is especially important for Ohio, the nation's seventh largest com grower and the only state in the Midwest without a plant that turns com into gasoline additives or soybeans into diesel fuel. · Yoder testified that legislation that would increase the demand for ethanol also would encour· age financial support to build a plant in Ohio. "It's a great economic stimulus on its own," he said. Companies that produce oxygenated fuel additives challenged the proposal, sa:ting that an ethanol mandate dodn't provide an acceptable answer to the nation's energy needs and more research needs to be done on the harmful effects of MTBE. Other people told the panel that so many states have enacted MTBE bans or caps that the already tight fuel supply system would face challenges in delivering different fuel to each state. Edward Murphy of the American Petroleum Institute encouraged senators to create a national standard. MEDINA (AP) - Fanners in ever more residential, less agricultural, Medina County have decided not to continue grain soning, crushing and milling as a cooperative venture. Last month, Town and Country Co-op Inc., which began as Medina Landmark Co-op in 1934, shut down its machines. "It's the end of an era, that's for sure," said William Rohrbaugh, vice president of the fanners' cooperative. "But look around. There are not that many farmers 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 grain to mills in Wayne County or southern Medina County. The co-op had better uses for the five employees who ran the grain-milling operation. Once the machines are removed, the space could be used to store 50and I00-pound bags of animal feed. It will serve agricultural supply markets in LaGrange, Wooster, Ashland, Mansfield and Grafton. The largest seller is horse feed. There is also a demand for alpaca feed. Over the years things changed quickly as farmers 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 fanners sold out and Medina County became home to Cleveland and Akron commuters, the co-op lost customers for fertilizer, animal food and fann equipment. The co-op, located in a fastdeveloping suburban county, had a limited grain operation and its demise doesn't reflect a trend elsewhere, said David Simmons, an Ohio Department of Agriculture inspection manager. Michael Miller, the Medina County agent for Ohio State University's Extension Service, said the number of farms in the country has declined. "We lost 30 to 40 percent of our dairy farmers in the past 15 years," he said. "We have about 36 left." Gary Gunkelman, 51 , has been farming for m<my years in York Township. While he's sorry to see the CO-{)p change, he understands and sees a time when he will have to change as well. "My son, Brian, and I fann 2,000 acres, most of it rented," he said. "The land won't be there much longer. not when the owners can sell it to developers. The costs of fanming in Medina are so high it's time to move, probably someplace in southern Ohio." Gunkelman sees the co-op's action as bending to the inevitable. "What can you do?" he asked. "The days of the farmers are closing in Medina County."

I'm hoping and praying we have a good spring and a good crop year," said Dave Kahler, executive vice president of the Ohio-Michigan Equipment Dealers Association. Dealers across the nation's heartland are feeling the pinch.

Richard Wagman of the American Road and Transportation Builders Association told senators Thursday that a tax credit for using ethanol fuel greatly reduces the amount of money that goes into the Highway Trust Fund, which is used for maintenance of the nation's roads lpld bridges. He said that by increasing the amount of ethanol used in gasolme, states such as Ohio would lose more highway dollars. Fred Yoder, a Plain City, Ohio, farmer who is president of the National Com Growers Association, told the panel that an increase in ethanol production would add value to crops, thus reducing government subsidy payments ;md leading to economic development in rural areas. "Time and time again we see boosts in local economies when renewable fuels come into the picture," said Yoder, who grows 1,000 acres of com and soybeans. "Local labor is hired. Local supply industries are tapped and crops from local producers are consumed and made into ethanol." A proposal being considered in Congress would triple the amount of com-based ethanol produced for gasoline to 5 billion gallons by 2012 and phase out MTBE, an additive blamed for fouling waterways in many states.

Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio Bush is making foreign policy, not (neocons' Rep. Jim Moran (D- Va.) has profusely apologized for implying that American Jews are responsible for the U.S. government's Iraq policy, but you can be sure that Pat Buchanan never will. Maybe because he 's an elected official, Moran caught unshirted hell from the media and his colleagues -as well he should have for saying the latest war in the Persian Gulf would not be happening "if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community." Maybe because he's a faded figure on the political scene, Buchanan got only marginal attention for a 5,000-word screed he wrote in his little magazine, The American Conservative, charging that a "cabal" of mainly Jewish neoconservatives seeks "to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel." Buchanan denied that his c har~es were based on antiSemitism, but practically all of the "cabalists" he listed including former and present Defense Department officials Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, and commentators William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer - are Jewish. And Buchanan's long history of animus against Israel - questioning the patriotism of pro-Israeli Americans (he recently accused Perle of being "an agent of influence" for Israel), doubting elements of the Holocaust and defend. ing ex -concentration camp guards - all fit the profile of an anti-Semite. Independent of that, however, Buchanan 's charges deserve reb!Jttal - partly because they aren 't confined to him. As he wrote, "suddenly, the Israeli connection Morton Kondracke is on the table ." The charge that pro-Israeli neocons have hijacked American foreign policy is rife in the European press, in left-wing anti-war diatribes in thi s country, and even in the writing of main stream columnists like Georgie Anne Geyer and Robert Novak. Lawrence Kaplan, coauthor with Kristol of a new book "The War Over Iraq" (Encounter Books), told me that questions like "We' re not doing this for America we're doing it for Israel , right?" have come up in about half the radio interviews he's done on his book tour. Versions of the argument also have appeared in op-ed articles in the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, San Diego Union-Tribune and USA Today. The case deserves rebuttal because it's flatly false. On the most obvious level, the people at the top of Bush's policy-making pyramid Bush himself, Vtce President Cheney, Secretary of State Defense Colin Powell, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and CIA Director George Tenet - are neither Jewish nor "neoconservative." Cheney and Rumsfeld are aggressive foreign policy hawks, as neoconservatives are, but their backgrounds are political and corporate, not academic or literary, and they've never been associated with neocon institutions like The Weekly Standard and Commentary. All the evidence suggests that the idea of ou sting Saddam Hussein, while urged by Wolfowitz as leftover business from the first Gulf War in 1991 , was not at the top of the foreign policy agenda for Bush and his high command until after Sept. II , 2001. Buchanan makes Bush out to be putty in Wolfow itz's hands - as though the president has neither a mind of his own nor any other advisers - and ignores what Bush has said again and again: that Iraq is the potential arsenal for a nuclear 9/11. Buchanan's own attitude toward Sept. II is telling. It was, he said, "a direct consequence of the United States meddling in an area of the world where we do not belong and where we are not wanted. We were attacked because we were on Saudi sacred soil and we are socalled repressing the Iraqis and we' re supporting Israel." According to Buchanan, after Iraq, the neocons have a long li st of "targets for destruction" that they want the United States to attack at Israel's behe st: Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon. Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabi a, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and "militant Islam." Except for "militant Islam," there's no evidence that the Bush administration has any plan to follow this agenda. Iran is on Bu sh's "axis of evil" list, but North Korea has to be the next cri- sis he tackles. On the other side of the ledger, Israel certainly backs Bu sh's effort s to remove Husse in, but this is scarcely at the top of Israe l's agenda. The major threats to Israel - Palestinian terrorism and attacks carried out by the Iranian- and Syrian-backed groups Hezboll ah and Islamic Jihad - will continue long after Iraq is conquered. Bush has come to see the Palestinian situation in a light similar to that of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon - holding Yasser Arafat primarily responsible for the absence of peace - but he carne to that view on his own, not through "neoconservative" influence. If and when the Palestinians decide to replace Arafat with a leader willing to make ·peace and crack down on terrori st groups, Bush has pledged to work for the creation of a Palestinian state and an end to Jewish settlemen t acl!vlty. That could lead to friction with Sharon. Contrary to both Moran's and Buchanan 's attitudes, polls show that American Jews are split on Iraq in about the same numbers as the general population. Poll s also show that, by 58 percent to 15 percent, Americans sympathize with Israel, not the Palestinians. Because of his policy choices, Bush is likely to score better among Jewish voters than any recent Republican president. And they' re his choices - not those of "neoconservatives." BY BRIAN J.

JoHNSON Associated Press Anti-war protesters unclear on concept Outside my office Thursday morning, a band of 50 or 60 people marched down the middle of Fifth Street, some w avi n~ signs saying "War is terror.' Others carried placards with one word : "Peace." When I heard them, I stood at a third-floor window on Fifth Street near Mission and watched. A young man yanked a newspaper rack from the sidewalk and into the street. He pushed it on its side 'and walked on. Other young men and women followed su it until the street suddenl y was an obstacle course of overturned newspaper racks. Some drivers tried (o maneuver around the racks. Others stopped where they were, backing up traffic . The group moved past the cars tnward Howard Street, leaving the racks and fluttering newspapers for someone else to clean up. It was an embarrassing display. Clearly, some folks in the anti-war effort have lost their bearings. They are making a mockery of the ideals for which so many of us stand. Protesters on Thursday morning threw rocks at San Francisco businesses, spraypainted graffi ti on pavement. bus shelters and huildings. Joan Ryan threw coffee in the faces of a few cops. A group calling itself Pukers4Peace vomited in the plaza in front of the Federal Building, with one vomiter saying, "Police and federal workers should have to smell the vileness that is within me." Other protesters blocked the Bec htel building on Beale Street and in the process kept hu ndreds of Blue Shield and the Californ ia Department of Insurance workers from get ting to their offices . A San Francisco Chronicle reporter observed one group of young me n using orange cones, mt:; n-at-work signs and fl ares to block the Highway 10 I off-ramp onto Eighth Street. "It's don e," one of the men was heard to say into his cell phone as he' hurried away. "We screwed them good." Jeez. Is thi s a peace march or a fraternity party? Who, exactly, are they "screwing"? The working mom trying to drop her kid off at day care? The college kid tryi ng to arrive on time for a job interview? The paramediCS racing to an accident? "We have to take drastic measures to get our message out," one protester told a Chronicle reporter. I imagine most peace activists condemn tactics that cause damage or profound disruption. If so, they must make this clearer to the trouble make rs. They need to spell out to the misguided protesters how deeply they are damaging the cause name ly beca use they are playing out on a small scale what Bush is doing on a global one. They have chosen aggression and disruption instead of diplomacy and peace. They are showi ng they really don ' t believe that a gro up of people united by resolute convictions and armed with persuasive arguments can accomplish great things. The peace movement needs not onl y to keep repeating its message , it needs to lead by example. It must show that peace isn't just an absen~e of bombs in a foreign land. Peace is an absence of vandalbm in our 1 own streets, a refusal to incite physical altercations, a resistance to disrupting an entire community for one's own purposes. A Chronicle reporter returned to the office Thursday with the story of a protester named Jamie McHugh. During a demonstration on Van Ness Avenue that had become a little raucous, he bowed to police and protesters. as if to acknowledge, "We're all here to do our jobs." When he heard an anti-war protester shouting at a counter-demonstrator, McHugh quietly told him, "We all have the right to be here." Later, the chastised protester returned to McHugh. "Thanks," he said, "for reminding me of that." I was cheered by McHugh's small ge sture. Protesters need to remember what, exactly. they are fighting for. If a person is demonstrating for peace, then he ought to be obligated to practice it himself. (Joan Ryan is· a co/umni.w ./(1r the San Francisco Chronicle.

(AP) Bombing .raids stepped up, Pentagon officials caution against expectations of quick end to war BY MATT KELLEY OPERATION Associated Press WASHINGTON - U.S.-Ied invading forces flew more than 600 bombing missions over Iraq on Thursda~, stepping up the air campatgn that had slowed because of bad weather, defense officials said. They were hitting Republican Guard formations around the capital, Baghdad. Powerful sandstorms had forced the cancellations of a couple hundred planned bombing missions on Wednesday. That weather had created a drag on coalition troops and forced them to focus on those pockets of resistance. Brig. Gen. Vmcent Brooks told a press conference Thursday morning at command headquarters in Qatar that the invaswn force remains "on plan." A week into the war, he declined to estimate how much longer it might ta)ce to overthrow Saddam Hussem. Other U.S. military leaders had warned Wednesday against expecting a quick end to the war as U.S. Army paratrpopers opened a northern front and thousands of other troops assembled for an eventual assault on Baghdad. · "It may go fast, it may go slow, and we're going to apply any power we need to get the job done," Marine Gen.

IRAQI FREEDOM ground attack into Iraq from Kuwait last week led many to assume Baghdad would be assaulted soon, but now that appears to be many clays away. Severe sandstorms also had grounded Apache helicopters that made an initial round of strikes Monday against armor of the Medina division of the Republican Guard. . Coalitior planes put attacks on the Republican Guard's Medina and Hammumbi divisions at the top of their target lists Wednesday. Another snag has . been the persistence of fighting around An Najaf, which compelled elements of the 3rcl Infantry Division to enci rcle the city about 90 miles south of Baghdad, instead of driving northward. The military continued to insist that the war was on track and not being significantly affected by the Iraqi shock troops acc used of multiple atrocities and ambushes against American forces.

' Thursday, March 27,2003 Den Dickerson Bette Pearce Thursday, March 27, 2003 Here's another good reason for healthy living: Symptomless, unnoticed strokes more than double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disea~e. according to a large Dutch study. The researchers and other experts said the finding suggests many people could prevent the mind-robbing disorder by keeping their heart and blood vessels healthy by exercising. eating a balanced diet and quitting·smoking. Elderly people who sullered tiny "silent strokes" - detected by an MRI - had their mental function decline more sharply and were about 2.3 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's or·other types of dementia, researchers at Erasmus Medical Center lound. The study, the first major one on silent strokes, wa~ published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The work provides "very powerful confirmation" of evidence linking narrowed blood vessels in the brain, stroke and Alzheimer's, said Bill Thies, vice president for medical and scientific affairs at the Alzheimer's Association. "This is an extraordinarily well-done study in a big group of people," Thies said. 'They have identified an outcome from these small (strokes) that we wouldn't have suspected." In an editorial, Drs. John Blass and Raji v Ratan of Cornell University's Weill Medical College said the study and other evidence indicate inadequate blood !low in the brain is an underlying cause of both Alzheimer's and ·stroke - and that silent stroke may be the first sign of Alzheimer's, not just a risk factor. Silent strokes are fairly common in the elderly, based on MRI scans of the I,0 15 people aged 60 to 90 in the study, said lead investigator Dr. Monique Breteler, head of the Erasmus center's neuroepidemiology research group. The scans, performed in 1995 and 1996, found brain cell damage in 217 people that indicated a silent stroke. Over an average of 3.6 years of tol- low-up. 3 percent. or 30 people, developed dementia; 26 had AILheimer's and lour had other forms.

In dementia, mental ability usually declines gradually._ impairrng memory. learning skills, judgmem and ancmion span. Alzheimer's disease, which also is Iinked to excessive buildup of proteins in the brain, accounts for about twothi rds nl· dementia ~ases. Along with following the 1.01 5 patients to see who developed dementia, the resem·chers did a second MRI on 619, some of whom had had additional silent strokes. Mental ded ine was even more severe in those people, as well as those who had lesions deep inside the brain from narrowed blood vessels, Breteler said. Because many· people who did not undergo a second MRI were in poorer shape mentally, Breteler said, the researchers probably underestimated how much silent strokes increase risk of dementia. Many people with Alzheimer's have standard risk factors for stroke and heart disease. Those include elevated blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels; eating a diet high in fat and low in veg-· etables; smoking: and getting linle or no exercise. Getting the elderly to follow health guidelines to reduce .or eliminate those risk factors could prevent dementia or strokes, Breteler said. Blass and Ratan suggested the same steps for any patients tound to have had a silent stroke. They also recommended such patients be monitored by doctors and take baby aspirin every day.

It was a fitting send-off. Asked if he had decided what he would do next, James said, "I really don 't know. God will lead me in the best direction and I will follow his footsteps. Who knows where I may be? !just take one step by one step because you're not promised tomorrow." In the opening minute, James- who won the event's slam-dunk contest 48 hours earlier - threw down a highflying dunk that brought a roar from the crowd. His passing brought bigger cheers- including two alleyoop passes that led to dunks by East teammate Charlie Villanueva. One was a nolook backdoor lob pass. James also had a behind-the-back pass to a teammate for a layup and tossed a one-handed pass for another dunk. "LeBron's defmitely ready to go pro," said Villanueva, who has verbally committed to Illinois but is also considering jumping to the NBA . "He's an unselfish player. He loves to pass the ball. He loves to get his teammates involved - and I like that about him." eral defenders accepting the challenge of trying to shut him down.

"It's my job to keep everyone 's envtronment nght," Graves said. "I kind of think of it as a part-time baby sitter, part-time bartender. I have to listen to everyone's problems and make sure everyone gets along." A crew chief used to be able to fill that role. But in the rapidly expanding world of NASCAR, more and more car owners are looking for a detailoriented expert to lighten the crew chief's load. With Ganassi based in Pittsburgh, Graves and Tony Glover run his entire three-car operation. Jimmy Makar moved up to team manager at Joe Gibbs Racing after I I seasons as a crew chief and one Winston Cup championship with Bobby Labonte. Makar now focu ses on improving technology and longterm goals. Todd Parrott is now team manager at Robert Yates Racing, overseeing Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler's teams in stead of just being the crew chief for Jarrett . · Just last week, Gil Martin becam.e team manager of Kevin Harvick ' s No . 29 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing after being the crew chief. "This is a position that you will see a lot more of as the years go on," Makar said. "Right now there 's only a handful of us, but that will change because the business is just too big for one person to do it all." Childress recognized that last week when he moved Martin out of the dayto-day operations and made Todd Berrier Harvick 's crew chief, responsible for readying the car for each race weekend. "We all have the resources and the equipment to succeed, but it boils down to the people," Childress said. :· "There's just not enough time for one .: guy to be m the fab shop, to be work~r,.,.:U\g..wi\11 1~ . crew, to be hiring the :: right people. So Gil, who is excellent ,; with people and details, is now free to focus just on that and Todd can work on the car." Everyone's idea of a team manager is different. Brian Whitesell, ·longtime manager at Hendrick Motorsports , supports Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson's crews. He briefly tried being a crew chief when Ray Evernham left late in 1999, winning his first two races in that role . But he was getting lost in the dayto-day details and moved up to man-· ager at the end of that season. " It was a neat deal. I won a couple of races and proved to myself that I could do it," Whitesell said. "But that's all I needed to do . The greater good of the team was for me to move on." Now Whitesell is in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly on race weekends , which so metime s means massagi ng the personalities of crew chiefs Robbie Loomi s and Chad Knaus . "Chad is really aggres sive and Robbie is real laid back," Whitese ll said. "So I' m the buffer between them. I push one guy, calm the other guy down and play off their differences." Makar is slowly working his way away from the race track, putting hi s focus on wind-tunnel time and testin g session s so he can free up the crew chiefs to work on weekend race setup s. He mi ssed hi s first race since the 1991 season on March 9, when he www.mydailytribune.com AGRICULTURE The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com , www.jimsfarmequipment.com Point Pleasant Register www.mydtilyregister.com 8 (/) Q) E Serta Super Firm ~119E~~. ~149E~~~fuu Ea.

Parrott is now team manager at Robert Yates Racing, overseeing Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler's teams. (AP) was testing cars in Phoenix while Labonte and teammate Tony Stewart raced in Darlington, S.C., and Makar had to watch it on TV. " It was strange, sort of like an outof-body experience," he said. "My wife really thought , I was going to have a hard time wi!ih it, but it certainly wa sn't as difficult as 1 thought it was going to be ." The goal is to scale back Makar 's time on the road. Traveling full time since 1979, he ' s now ready to spend more time at home with his 8-yearold twins. Next weekend will be his Next race Aaron's 499 April 6, Talladega, Ala.

But at Ganass i, Graves and Glover are highly visible at the race track and instrumental in every deci sion their teams make over a weekend . Glover sits atop Sterling Marlin 's pit box, helping crew chief Lee McCall call tl)e race, and Graves stands high up on the roof spotting for rookie Casey Mears while coaching crew chief Jimmy Elledge. Graves and Glover, both former crew chiefs , walk a fine line of trying to give enough input while allowing the actual crew chiefs to make their own dec isions. Either way. they' ve lightened the crew c hi efs' workload and helped take some pressure off every move they make . "We ha ve a lot more help and our organization has a lot more depth wi th Andy and Glover," Elledge said . " Respon sibilities have been delegated and parameters have been set. It all run s a lot smoother because of the ex perience we 've got in management roles he lping all three teams and all three crew chiefs ."

I live in a townhouse and my neighbors and I share a common bedroom wall. One night I was awakened by a pounding noise. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, and eventually went back to sleep. Over the next few weeks, I was awakened freQuently by the same sounds. One night, after listening for a while, I realized it was coming from my neighbors' bedroom they were having intimate relations. I didn't say anything at first, but finally decided I had to. I was afraid my mother would be visiting while the neighbors were going at it again. I was more than a little embarrassed at having to broach the subject. One morning, I rang the couple's doorbell. When the .woman came to the door I said, "I have something to tell you - the walls here aren't very thick." She took one look at my red face and understood immediately. Needless to say, I never heard them again. - Dear Abby ADVICE SILENCE IS GOLDEN IN MARYLAND DEAR S.I.G.: They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

"• 'I 1 Nn - I 'ill RUTLAND - Ground will be broken for a new retirement home in Rutland in mid-April , · according to Joe Wolf! a, developer of the planned Deer Run Senior Living Center. Cost of the facility will be about $4 million. It will be administered by Legends Realty. The project was original ly slated to be started earlier in the year, but there have been a some minor problems which have held up construction. The current water system, which would have supplied the 50,000 square foot 60unit apartment on a 2-112 acre site was inadequate. Wolfla said there was not enough water pressure for the facility, which was particularly important ·since there would be fire extinguishing water sprinklers in many rooms. "If we flushed every toilet in the facility, we would have taken the water out of town," he said. As a result , Legends Realty had to run another water line out to the site. Wolfla said it took time to get the necessary easements needed to run the new water line . The town's sewer system presented a different set of difficulties. The town's current sewer system is not large enough to handle the inevitable increased load coming from the facility. To compensate for this, Wolfla said a large holding tank will be built which will ease the sewage problem so that the increased flow would not overwhelm the current sewage system. Wolfla was quick to thank Mayor Dick Fetty for his assistance in addressing thi s issue. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency got involved with the permit process to ensure that all environmental regulation s meet compliance. The EPA approved the site last November. There was also a potential legal issue involving an open purchase agreement on the property. This could have potentially meant that someone else had an option to buy the property first before anyone else would be eligible to purchase it. Wolfla said this issue was quickly resolved. Despite the temporary setbacks, Wolfla is glad the site will be in Rutland . "We liked the area," he said. "This will be a very good thing for Meig s County." Each apartment will have either a courtyard or ex ted- or view. The building will consist of one-story modular units. Wolfla said Amish workers are co ntracted out through All-American Homes to build the units . Once everything is in place, the developer said it would take as little as two months to build the final product, which is the prototype of 17 more which will be built in Indiana and Ohio . Each apartment will have a living room, kitchen. bath and one bedroom with appropriate appliances and facilities. The apartments will have many amenities, including microwaves, refrigerators, dishwashers and ceiling fans . Legends Realty has three main partners which include Oscar Robinson, .who played professional basketball , Bobby Plump, a in basketball legend Indiana, and Wolfla .

More than $9,500 in pledges was collected during the TriState Area Council Gallia County Friends of Scouting lliadership luncheon at the ijoliday Inn. · Scout Rex McKinniss spoke about the importance of scouting, and Bob Hennesy, council board member, discussed scout· ing's need for financial support. l'he luncheon culminated with guest speaker Mike Bartrum, a Meigs County native and current long snapper for the National Football l.Alague's Philadelphia Eagles. · Bartrum. who was a standout football player for Meigs High School and later Marshall University, spoke about the importance of goals and how motivation can lead one down the path to success. "One thing I truly admire about the Boy Scouts is how motivated these young gentle· men are.

"Much like a football player who wants to reach that next level, a Scout must have specific goals in mind and find ways to successfully attain those goals," he added. Even though Bartrum admitted he was never in the Boy Scouts, he said the organization does a fine job with instil).ing good values in·young men. ''Unfortunately, I was never in the Boy Scouts because I was always busy with football. However, no matter where I travel in the United States, I always find Scouts to be both honorable and outstanding citizens," he said. · Following his speech, Bartrum fielded questions and signed autographs for fans. Besides collecting pledges, the organization also auctioned off several autographed footballs and gave signed Philaldephia Eagles caps away as prizes. All money collected at the fund-raiser goes directly into programs supported by the Gallia County Friends of Scouting. More than 160 scouting units are located throughout the TriState Area Council. Those counties served are: Gallia, Lawrence and Meigs in Ohio; Mason, Cabell, Lincoln, and Wayne in West Vuginia; and Boyd, Lawrence, Carter, and Greenup in Kentucky. The luncheon was sponsored by Bob Evans Fanns and Ohio Valley Bank. 2 Sedlons - 16 Paps Calendar Classifieds Comics : Dear Abby Editorials Movies _Sports Weather ~ .. ''i \oJOVLD (X) Tf\L ~ ...

Jeooe Smltll, 3rd CJ8de, Rutland El•mentary MIDDLEPORT - A family with a military tradition watches and waits for television broadcasts from the second Gulf war. The Eynon family has a son, Don, who is serving with the Third Infantry Division in Iraq. Each night, Don's parents, James and Ruby Eynon, watch television hoping for a some news and maybe a jlimpse of their son. • James Eynon, who also was in the Army, said his son is a tOP.·notch soldier with of the sktlls necessary to do the job. Don has served in the elite 82nd Airborne and in the lOth Mountain Division, which is a high! y specialized unit with intense combat training. Don, 42, has been in the Army for 22 years and is currenily a first sergeant, one grade lower than sergeant major which is the top rank for a non-commissioned officer. "Don always wanted to be a soldier," James said. "He eats it and sleeps it." Don is currently serving with the Third Infantry Division (mechanized) which is a smaller part of the First Brigade. There are between 15,000 and 17,000 soldiers serving in the divisiop. James said his son is responsible for protecting supply lines, which are vital to the move through Iraq . While Don is not in the "forward" area or the push toward Baghdad , his role is not any less dangerous. James said his military experience is hel~ing him deal with his son s tour of duty. "I can handle this pretty good," he said. Don 's mother, however, is not as calm or composed. She will tell anyone that she is very worried about her son. "I just worry," she said. "I don't like it but that is his job and he is fighting for his country. We watch the news constantly, day and night. I don't know what I'm going James and Ruby Eynon watch for news about their .son Don who is stationed in Iraq with the Army's Third Infantry Division. (J. Miles Layton) to see next on TV. I don't sleep that much because of my son." Ruby has been through this before. Her younger sons, Tim and Dana Eynon served in the Army during the first Gulf war. "We watched TV the same way when the other two were over there," she said. Don's wife, Maria, received a quick phone call from her husband this past weekend. David Bloom, a reporter at MSNBC who is embedded with the Third Infantry Division, let Don use his satellite phone to talk to his wife in Cincinnati and tell her and their three children what was going on. Maria told her father-inlaw that Don was doing fine and that he had been in the large sandstorm which slowed the advance toward the Iraqi capital. As near as James can figure it, based on reports from CNN and from what hi s daughter-in-law said , he thinks his son is about 30 to 50 miles from Baghdad . New s about the Eynons' son Don Eynon is serving in Iraq with the Third Infantry Division. comes in bits and pieces. to the Accardi ng Associated Press, the U.S. Army's Third Infantry Division is known to have participated in the operation to capture a bridge, a critical crossi ng point for coalition forces as they push north toward Baghdad, about 200 miles away to the northwe st. Sunday, the Third Infantry Division made it from the Kuwait-Iraq border to the edge of the Euphrates River valley in less than six hours. ''I think the fighting will be worse this time around, but I think Don will make it," said James.
