We had three children right away. Because of health problems, my husband is getting to the point where he can't help me with the kids as much as he once could. He comes home from work, eats supper in bed, and then falls asleep. It's up to me to supervise the kids getting their homework finished before baths and bedtime. I struggle to keep up with all that needs to be done. What I want to know is: Why shouldn't I be able to raise my children without help? There are single moms out there who "do it all." Have you any_ suggestions for me? - A MAR· RIED MOM IN VIRGINIA DEAR MARRIED MOM: I certainly do. First, ask yourself why you're being so hard on yourself. Three small children are a handful, and I'm sure every single mother reading this has felt overwhelmed at one point or another. Second, although he is in his 60s, your husband is working and hardly an old man. I don't know what his health problems are, but his doctor should be told about his Jack of energy. It could he a symptom of depression. which ts treatable. Dear Abby ADVICE It could also be a symptom of a treatable physical problem. Third, you could use a respite. Ask around and see if you and another mother in the neighborhood could watch each other's children for a few hours on a regular basis. It's important to your mental and physical health to take time for yourself. DEAR ABBY: I am a 13year-old-boy in the eighth grade. My problem is my parents and their lack of confidence in me. I'm an above-average artist, and I think I've got a lot of potential. But when my parents question me about what I want to do when I get older and I tell them I want to be an artist for an animation studio, they say, ' 'That's not a realistic goal." Mom says stuff like, "Why don't you pick an occupation that's more practical?" And Dad just keeps quiet. Abby, I know I'm only 13. but I have aspired to be an animation anist since I was 4. It hurts knowing my parents do not support my dream. What should I do about it? -mGH ON TALENT/LOW ON SELF-ESTEEM IN COL- ORADO DEAR mGHILOW: Go to the library and research the field of animation, which can be quite lucrative. (I'm sure the librarian will be happy to assist you.) There are many jobs in the arts and graphic design, and as you grow older your interests may broaden. For now, continue taking art courses, hold onto your dream and keep your academic standing high. That way you 'II get into a good college or an school. DEAR ABBY: A month ago I learned that my husband, "Danny," cheated on me with a co-worker. I found out because Danny told me himself. I was terrilllly upset when my husband broke the news, but after many long talks and lots of tears, we're trying to work through it. The hard part is I made the mistake of telling my family, and now they won't speak to him. They say I'm going about this all wrong, and that I'm stupid for accepting his apology so quickly. Is my family right, Abby? Am I forgiving my husband too quickly? - WILLING TO START FRESH IN WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. DEAR WILLING TO START FRESH: Your family may mean well, but they should not influence your decision to forgive your husband. The wisest course for you and him would be to work this through with professional counseling. Please don't wait.

Bob Wise sign'ed Senate Bill 337 Friday, simplifying the process to recognize international adoptions in West Virginia. :. "International . adoption has become extremely common in recent decades," Wise sajd. "Every year, Americans open their homes and their , hearts to orphaned children from around the world. We should be helping adoptive .parents and bringing fami:lies together." · The legislation should streamline the process by which international adoptions are recognized in West Virginia. Prospective parents now simply file a Petition for ·Recognition of Foreign Adoption Decree in Circuit Court. "In the past , our adoptive parents faced legal and bureaucratic hurdles in their efforts to register internationally adopted children in the state," Wise said. "Parents that adopt internationally have to endure ~ ex.tep.si ve per.sQ.nal rnv'estigatiot\s and legal proceedings prior to bringing -their children to West Virginia. To make those families jump . through additional, needless legal ho(/ps was not fair." : Wise displayed photos of children being adopted by West Virginia parents who will benefit from the new taw. · " Being able to watch my children grow up is a blessing I want other West Virginians to be able to experience," Wise said.

Anger, mourning and resolve emanated from both sides in a conflict taking a growing toll each day in the lives of combatants and civilians alike. The international outcry grew, too. Pope John Paul II warned of a " religious catastrophe" stirring hatred between Christians and Muslims; Russian President Vladimir Putin also cast the war in catastrophic terms and said he would push for a negotiated solution. But in Baghdad, Washington and along the war's many fronts, the talk was all of climactic battles to come. "We are now fighting the most desperate units of the dictator's . army," President Bush said. "The . fighting is fierce, and we do not know its duration. Yet we know the outcome of this battle : The Iraqi regime will be disarmed and reJliOved from power. Iraq will be free." Three-quarters of the allied airstrikes are now going after Republican Guard forces ringing Baghdad, Air Force Brig. Gen. Daniel Darnell told The Associated Press. He said U.S . and British planes have attacked almost every military airfie ld in the country in the last week. Some units of the invasion force went into an "operational pause " Saturday to consolidate positions, resupply forward troops and prepare for an all-out attack on Iraqi forces outside Baghdad. There was no rest for pilots takin~ off from aircraft earners in lhe Persian Gulf. Planes from the USS Constellation hit 40 targets in 24 hours; planes from the Kitty Hawk unleash ed bunker-busters and other large ordnance on a headquarters of Iraq 's ruling party, a mil itary compound and other OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM strategic targets.

Perhaps you don't have to look closely to know they are covered with scratches. Even one or two scratches will get in the way of good vision. It seems no matter how hard you try, you end up with scratched glasses. Some of you may even have tried using glass rather than plastic, but the weight makes them uncomfortable. Glass lenses are ~! so not suitable or safe for children. Instead try a scratch resistant coating. These coatings do just as their name suggests . They resist scratches; they don '! prevent them . V,:ith consistent rough handling , the lenses may scratch.. Do your part to avoid lens blemishes. Never place your glasses on a hard surface with the 1enses facing down. Ideally, your glasses should be kept in a case when they're not on your face. Scratch resistant coatings are one of the least expensive, yet most effective treatments you can get to keep your lenses in good condition. Remember that when you purchase your new glasses.

Economists said the Fed probably would lower rates should the economy show signs of sliding back into recession.

A man in Costa Rica wanted him to invest $1.5 million in a 1,100-acre park. "He said if I would invest the money, he would give me land to build a condo in Costa Rica instead of Mexico. My . daughter has been wanting a condo in Mexico," Whittaker said. Then came the plea of a California woman living in fear of her husband after she maxed out credit cards to buy some worthless stock. She initially told Whittaker she was $10,000 in debt, but once all the paperwork arrived at his home, the debt had swollen to $110,000. "I told her to file bankruptcy," Whittaker said. "That's what I made my daughter do when she ran her credit cards up and I kept paying them off about five or six years ago." Among his charitable work was buying cars for two people who needed transportation to work. Upon learning they earned only $6.50 an hour, he offered them jobs paying twice as much.

The recommendation Friday would eliminate even more people from the pool of potential vaccinees at a time when the government is trying to increase its numbers. Three states. New York, Illinois and California, temponuily suspended their programs while questions about the link to heart disease are in vestigated. To date. 17 recipients of the vaccine have suffered heart problems afterward, and federal health officials are looking for a possible link to the vaccine. Three people have died, including a 55-year-old Nat.ional Guardsman that the Pentagon announced Friday. The m<m' s death is the tirst in a mandatory military inoculation progrwn that has vaccinated 350.000 people. The other two deaths were of health care workers in private hospitals . Federal otlicials had planned to offer the vaccine on a voluntary basis to at least 450,000 civilians in the program's tirst month. After two months, on! y about 25,000 have been vaccinated, with many hospitals opting out of the program. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working to improve the numbers, but after learning of the tirst death, otlicials decided anyone with a history of heart disease should not get the vaccine. The Pentagon adopted the same policy Friday. On Friday, an advisory committee recommended the CDC go beyond people already sick with heart disease to those at risk. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Dr. Walter Orenstein, director Centers for Disease Control, National Immunization Program, listens to a question during a press conference at CDC in Atlanta, Thursday, concerning smallpox immuninizations and the deaths of two health workers that took the smallpox immunizations.

A rally in Cincinnati was Jess raucous, with about 200 people on the Xavier University campus demonstrating in support of troops. In Cleveland, protesters beat drums and buckets and drew peace signs in chalk on manhole covers . The protest lasted more than five hours, continuing until well after dark.

Act: It's been more than a year since th e" No Child Left Behind Act." hailed and marketed by the Bush administration ·as a landmark piece of public schools legislation, was signed into law. Its emphasis is on accountability in the classroom. making sure that every student in the United States has a _chance at a quality education . .As the first year of the policy's implementation comes to a ·close, it's becoming clear that so far it 's not all it's cracked up to be. In a two-part series reported by The Star. local administrators said that while the)" agree with the ''No Child" concept in .its purest form ... the plan 's road map to improvement is a confusing one, and one that requires many more resources than most area school systems now have on hand. Alabama schools have been told to expect budget cuts of 8 to 12 percent for the coming fiscal year. Meanwhile they are also being asked to achieve at higher levels; to meet tougher federal guidelines than ever before in regard to teacher train:ing and individual students' improvement on test scores. There's nothing wrong with raising the bar in hopes that our . students and teachers and schools will improve . But let's give them a fighting chance. While "No Child Left Behind" may be perfectly tine public policy. we will never know that for sure until it is more thoughtfully communicated and more fully funded at the federal level.

("Have another fish, big boy! YOU'RE not hungry, right? No sir! Shamu's not hungry at all! Ha ha! Right? RIGHT?? HAVE ANOTHER FISH, BIG BOY!") My favorite attraction at Sea World was actually not a marine show; it was a sec'urity guard standing directly under a sign that said, in big letters, EXIT ONLY DO NOT ENTER, and endlessly repeating "No, you can't come in here; you have to go over there, where it says ENTER HERE." He was saying this over and over and over to a constant stream of people who had been stricken with Theme Park Stupidity (TPS ). Many of these people would stop and stare at the guard, slack-jawed, not grasping his point, even when he tried to simplify it. ("Not HERE. Go THERE.") Hours later, I passed by the same spot, and the guard was still repeating his message. His face had a hollow look. I would not be surprised if, later that night, at the bar, he took a swing at Piglet. Our next Orlando stop was Disney World, which is called "The Happiest Place on Earth" by people who write advertising slogans. Our 3-year-old daughter loves Disney World, because she gets to meet Mickey Mouse, in person. She.some- times meets Mickey three or four times a day, and he always acts really thrilled and surprised to see her, as if he doesn't remember that he just met her 45 minutes earlier. Mickey's a little on the slow side, if you ask me.

It's as if, while you were having breakfast, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Bruce Springsteen and Madonna all came to your table and made a big fuss over you, to the point where you wanted to say, "Hey, . Madonna, do you mind? I'm trying to eat my waffles here!" Yes, it is a magical place, Orlando, a fun place, and a place that we will be compelled to return to next year. They're opening a major new attraction. Spawn World. (Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald.

It 's death and destruction , a.1d our young men are in grave danger. Yet, there I sat, switching from one new s network to another to "watch the war."

More than 30 U.S. soldiers have died in the war. Iraq's vice president suggested the attack was not the work of a freelance fanatic but rather part of a coordinated effort to beat back invaders who cannot be defeated by conventional warfare. "I am sure that the day will come . when a single martyrdom operation will kill 5,000 Taha Yassin enemies," Ramadan said. "The Iraqi people have a legal right to deal with the enemy with any means." Ramadan held out the threat of Iraqi-sponsored terrorism on U.S. soil - hinting of the very danger that Bush has tried to convince Americans that they face from Saddam Hussein. "We will use any means to kill our enemy in our land and we will follow the enemy into its land," Ramadan said. "This is just the beginning. "You'll hear more pleasant news later." American and British troops have faced guerrilla tactics, faked surrenders and other trickery almost since setting foot in Iraq on March 20, but not yet their greatest fear chemical weapons. Allies have found chemicalweapons protective suits and gas niasks left by retreating Iraqi soldiers, and taken that to mean Iraqis have the weapons, too. But chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix played down the significant of the discovered gear Saturday. "One must ask how old these clothes are," he told Swedish radio. "They may have been there for a long time. In any case, they haven't found any weapons yet."

"Why do they make mistakes like these if they have the technology?" asked AbdelHadi Adai, who said he lost !lis 27-year-old brother-in-law. ''There are no military instalilitions anywhere near here." U.S. officials, asserting ajlain that they never target ctvilians, said they were investigating and did not know whether a bomb or missile had gone astray.

This past basketball season, the Blue Devils doninated the SEOAL with only one league loss, and went on to sectional and district championships. The Devils even had eventual state semifinalist Bclechcroft on the ropes in the regional semifinal at The Convo for three and a half quaneis before the Cougars depth became too much to ov!rcome.

I DAYTON, Ohio - In spite of three national championships - or maybe because of them - Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma still feels the searing heat and overwhelming pressure when the calendar·turns to March. "Two things are at work here: Boston College is excited as all get-out to be in their first regionals e\·er and they're going to play like that," Auriemma -said Saturday on the eve of his Huskies' East Regional semifinal against the Eagles. "I want my players to play the same way. The only problem is, nobody's that excited about us being in the regionals. They're going to have to overcome that somehow. "We're expected to be here and we' re expected to win. That's a lot to deal with. For Boston College, this is a great opportunity. For us it's a chance to fail." Big East rivals Connecticut (33-1) and Boston College (22-8) meet in Sunday's opening game at the University· of Dayton Arena. Purdue (28-5) takes on Notre Dame (21-10) in the second semifinal with the winners meeting Tuesday night for a trip to the Final Four in Atlanta. Auriemma has won 497 games in his I 8 years with the Huskies . His rtext loss will be No. I 00. Under his guidance, the defending champion Huskies have become the dominant team in women's college basketball, winning 72 of their last 73 games. The only loss in the last two years a 52·48 setback to Villanov.a.in the ..Big East !Ournament final on March II still nags at Auriemma and his players. It has introduced doubt into a program that seemed invincible. . "It's changed. Not that we did take it for granted, but any game you could lose if you "don't go out there and play well," said All-American guard D1ana Taurasi. "Especially this far into March, knowing that every game if you lose you're going home. You don't have that, 'Well, we'll prepare for next week.' There's that sense of urgency that every game we have to play well and play our best. We've kind of gotten that from the loss to Villanova." Connecticut came into this season with a 39-game winning streak after last ·~~ year's unbeaten march to the title . But .. four senior starters graduated from a team many called the greatest women's team ever assembled, replaced by a freshman (Ann Strother), a sophomore (Jessica Moore) and two juniors (Maria Conlon and Morgan Valley). Taurasi was the only holdover. The bar has been raised for the Huskies, mostly because of their extraordinary success. "The expectation level that I have, that we've created among our team and coaching staff, is that there should not have been any dropoff from last year's team to this year's team. It should have been one smooth transition and we Great American Ball Park. home of the Cincinnati Reds, shown Thursday, awaits opening day Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. At left of the stadium is the parking garage of the team's former home , Cinergy Field, which was demolished in December 2002. Please see related story on 85 . (AP) . , CINCINNATI (AP) - Former President Bush will fill in for his-ftOn and throw a ceremonial first pitch on Monday before the Cincinnati Reds ' season opener. The Reds invited the current president to officially open Great American Ball Park by throwing a pitch before the o"pener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Chief operating oft1cer John Allen said Saturday that the White House gave no reason for the switch. Bush was invited before the invasion of Iraq, and the White House had delayed. making a commitment to the game. The elder Bush also declined a chance to throw a first pitch in Cincinnati just before the first Gutf War. He was invited for Game 2 of the World Series against Oakland in 1990. but Barbara Bush took his place and made a toss to catcher Joe Oliver. The White House's explanation for the 1990 switch was that the president wanted to stay in Washington to monitor negotiations over the federal budget deficit. There was tight security for Barbara Bush's visit, which coincided with the troop buildup in the Persian Gulf. Both teams wore American flags on their uniforms during the 1990 Series, which the Reds won in four games. Before Game 2. former Reds owher Marge Schott went onto the tield and asked for a moment of silent "for our troops in the Far East." The elder Bush threw a ceremonial pitch before the opener at Arlington Stadium in Texas the next April. bouncing the ball to Rangers catcher Genu Petralli. Bush, a first baseman on Yale's baseball team, threw eight ceremonial pitches at major league games while he was in office. The last was in 1992, when he and Ted Williams made tosses at the All Star game in San Diego. f �Page B2 • SS>unbilp W:imes -kntind Spartans enc;l Terps ru~· as back-to-back national t1tles ML'I& EASTERN CONFERENCE 2002 FINISH CDACH 11 -13·4.(37 p01nts) Third place, playoff -------- - Chicago Fire quarterfinals Dave Saracan (first season) ADDITIONS DEPARTURES M Andy Williams F Nate Jacqua M Justin Mapp F Josh Wolff F Hnsto Stoitchkov M Paler Nowak M Dema Kovalenko 11-12-5 (38 points) D Frankie Hajduk M Ross Paule. .

They traded second baseman Todd Walker and No. I starter Elmer Dessens to save money. They tried to deal Ken Griffey Jr. A $10-$ 12 million payroll increase was quickly absorbed by the everyday lineup. With each move, the fans wondered: Is this the best they can do? Finally, chief operating officer John Allen had heard enough. ''I think we' ve got a very good team," Allen told skeptical fans at a winter promotional event in Dayton, Ohio. "I get very tired of people treating the 2002 team like it was terrible. They were in first or second place for 123 days last year, folks. One hundred twenty-three days! "The nucleus of that team is back." So is its biggest shortcoming. The team that will open Great American Ball Park has a pitching rotation that's more retro than state-of-the-art. It's not what they 'd planned. . The Reds have been building toward the ballpark's opening since the late 1990s. hoping to field a playoff contender from the very first game. They've assembled an impressive core of young players - Brandon Larson, Aaron Boone, Sean Casey, Adam Dunn, Austin Keams. "They probably will get better, but they' re daggone good right now," shortstop Barry Larkin said. "They' ll be a nice backbone for this organization for many, many years." Unfortunately, none of them can pitch. Most of the Reds' pitching prospects have fizzled or stalled, forcing them to get retreads for the rotation and lean too heavily on a deep bullpen that fades as the summer goes along. . · Reds starters pitched the fewest innings of any NL rotation last season, the main reason they finished third in the NL Central, 19 games out. It was the second year in a row that the rotation was last in the league for innings pitched. Things got so grim that the Reds moved closer Danny Graves into the rotation for this season. He joins Jimmy Haynes, Ryan Dempster, Jimmy Anderson and Paul Wilson. none of whom has a winning career record. There are alternatives in the minors. most notably Pete Harnisch, who is making a comeback' from reconstructive elbow surgery. It looks like once again, the bullpen will have to pull them through. ( "The strength of our team's always been the bullpen, and it probably will be again," said Scott Williamson, who gets first crack at the closer's job. The everyday lineup is strong and versatile, as long as Larkin and Griffey can stay healthy. Larkin, who turns 39 on April 28, has been nagged by injuries the last few years, and it showed in his hitting - a .245 average last season. Griffey has been sidelined by a series of leg injuries during his three seasons in Cincinnati, one of the reasons the Reds tried to trade him in the offseason. San Diego's Phil Nevin invoked his no-trade clause, block- Baseball '03: Pittsburgh Pirates ALAN ROBINSON Associated Press PITTSBURGH - Pirates catcher Jason Kendall is adept at reading signs on the field. What he likes are the signals he's picking up this spring in the clubhouse. Outtielders Kenny Lofton and Reggie Sanders - last seen in Game 7 of the World Series -are jaughing, turning up the music, talking to younger teammates about the fun of playing games in October. First baseman Randall Simon is playing cards with Dominican-born pitcher Julian Tavarez, repeatedly kidding him about his· newly dyed hlond hair. A slimmed-down and healthy Aramis Rami rez is flexing his muscles as he takes practice swings, and Brian Giles is concocting his latest locker room gag. Kendall, the longest-tenured Pirates player, hasn't seen a team like this since arriving in 1996 one that acts and feels like a winner, rather than just talking hopefully about being one. It's not that Kendall is about to guarantee that a team that lost 189 games the last two seasons will contend in the competitive NL Central. Or that the Pirates will climb above .500 for the ftrst time since 1992. Or that he will shake off the two worst seasons of his own career and be the All-Star catcher he once was. But for those who expect them to be the same old Pirates. a mix of overmatched prospects and never-did-anything veterans, Kendall promises only a surprise. '1l1is is just a better team," Kendall said. "I can definitely see this team, if all goes well, being right there in September. We' re definitely going to score more runs, so if our staners go out and do what they're capable of doing, there's no reason why Pittsburgh can't be in the race in September." He didn "t mean the AFC North race in the NFL, either. Still. it's not as if the Pirates added Jim Thome or Ivan Rodriguez. Their lineup, on paper, doesn't rival that of the Cardinals, Astros or Reds. They don't have a No. I starterto match St. Louis' Matt Morris. or a big-name hitter like the Cubs' Samm y So' a or Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. What the Pirates lack are the glaring holes in thei r rotation, their bullpen and barring order that led to a decade ·s worth of wheel-spinning stagna- lion and frustrJtion. In less than two years on the job. dollar-stretching general manager Dave Littlefield ha' added startmg pitchers Kip Wells, Josh Fogg, Jeff Suppan and Jeff D' Amico, new regulars in Simon, second baseman Pokey Reese, Lofton and Sanders, plus backup outfielder Matt Stairs - all for about the san1e money the Pirdtes paid the long-gone Derek Bell and first baseman· Kevin Young last season. Just as important, Littletield didn't trade Giles. despite plenty of chances to do so. And for good rea,on - one of baseball's best bargains, he has averaged 37 homers and 109 RBis the last four seasons, yet is signed through 2005 at an afford-. able salary of $7.5 million per year. "Dave's made some great moves," Giles said. "It's a different atmosphere around here. For the first time, you go in feeling Iike you have a chance of winning. We haven't had that." What would accelerate the Pirates • seemingly endless rebuilding project would be solid years not just from their new players. but two familiar ones: Kendall and Ramirez. Kendall was a .316 career hitter before a bact ankle and a sore thumb the last two seasons collectively zapped his power and ability to hit to the opposite fie1d. -Healthy for the first time since early in the 1999 season, Kendall is corning off his best spring training in years, batting well above .400 for most of it. He won't talk of having anything to prove, but says, "''ll be the happiest ~rson in this clubhouse when March 31 arrives. ' Ramirez . enjoyed a bf\!akthrough season in 2001 (.300, 34 HRs, 112 RBis), but an ankle injury only 2 112 weeks into last season led to a virtual throwaway year (.234, I8, 71 ). As a result, he dieted and lost 20-plus pounds at manager Lloyd McClendon's urging. apparently without losing his power stroke; he had eight extra-base hits in his ftrst 49 spring at-bats. McClendon, in the last year of his three-year contract, points to other encouraging signs: a bench with three hitters who had 16 homers each last season (Rob Mackowiak, Craig Wilson, Stairs) and a deep bullpen led by Mike Williams, whose 46 saves were the most ever by a pitcher on a losing team. Lofton gives them a reliable leadoff hitter. something they lacked while hitting a lljlajor league-low .244 last season. BY TERRY KINNEY Associated Press Aaron Boone ing the deal. Griffey showed up for training camp stewing about the Reds' attempt to dump him, but mellowed as opening day approached. · "I've always been a Ken Griffey Jr. fan," said mana~­ er Bob Boone. who unsuccessfully tried to talk Nevm into approving the trade . "I think he's going to have a tremendous year. I think there's a lot of baseball left in him." Larkin thinks there's enough talent to lel the Reds compete for the playoffs, proving the skeptic's--wrong. · "Health is always a key, and how the pitching turns out," Larkin said. "I think they' ll be fine. I think we'll be good. This is probably one of the better teams I've been associated with as far as talent is concerned." Larkin was on the 1990 team that won the World Series in manager Lou Piniella_'s first season by leaning on center fielder Eric Davis, starter Jose Rijo and the "Nasty Boys" bullpen. Boone and general manager Jim Bowden are in the final years of their.contracts, leavi ng a chance for major change if things don't work out in Great American's inaugural season. When the team asked voters to raise taxes in 1996 to finance the new ballpark, Bowden assured them: "Build it and we will win." They remember the promise. "Hopefully, we are going to complement that new stadium," Boone said. "We think the pieces are in place. They're young. They're certainly eager. Compared to the other teams in our division, the potential is going to be the highest. "We're going to be dealing with a lot of young people that may or may not reach that potential. If they can reach that potential this year, we will bring a championship to Cincinnati." If not, watch out. " ALL GOO·DYEAR TIRES Signs pointing to Pirates' improvement but how much better?

His former team wouldn't have it any other way. When they drew up plans for Great American Ball Park, the Reds made the past their . priority. Unlike sterile Cinergy Field, the new place is dripping with the history of baseball's first professional franchise. · Front and ce nter is Pete Rose. "About the only place you won ' t see him will be with the retired numbers," chief operating officer John Allen said. "We did what we could . He earned it. That's the right thing to do." Rose's lifetime ban for · gambling prevents him from participating in the opening day ceremonies for Great American, just as it kept him away from last September's closing of Cinergy Fi.eld. · He m~y be an outcast to baseball, but his legacy is celebrated in every nook and cranny of the new 42,000seat ballpark . -Rose sits in the first row of a Big Red Machine mosaic on a lower concourse, hand s perched on knees , eyes fixed straight ahead. -A huge photograph of the bat and the ball he used for hit No. 4,192 adorns the hack of the scoreboard in left field, a reminder of the hit king 's most memorable moment. - The lounge for the club seat patrons is named "Club 4,192," a tribute of his record-breaking single on Sept. II, 1985. -Next year, a rose garden outside the ballpark will honor the spot where the hit landed. He ' ll also be included in the team's H:tll of Fame when it opens in 2004. -One of his favorite line s, ''I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to keep playing baseball ," is included in a stream of Reds' quotes along another concourse. Cincinnati's most famous and most infamous baseball figure is everywhere. "It's very clear that we can honor our hi story and the great moments in the franchise, so there's no uneasi ness in that perspective," Allen said . It's what the fans and players wanted . Although a lot of baseball history was made next door at Riverfront/Cinergy Field , there were few reminders in the multipurpose stadi um . The most distinctive part of the new place is its willingne.~s ,to remember: It s great: not JUSt for the ' fans to get mto the history, b_ut for a lot of pl~y ers to ftnd out a~~ut the hi story of the Reds, . ptt~her Danny Graves sa td.

The Reds ad mini s tration bmldtng ts to~ped with an tllummated stnp that says, "Rounding Third and Heading for Home," broadcaster Joe Nuxhall's trademark signoff.. The mam entrance includes a one-acre "Crosley Terrace" with large bronze statues honoring players from the Crosley Field era. A replica of Crosley's oldfashioned Longines clock rests atop the state-of-the-art scoreboard in left field. Retired numbers of famous Reds players Rose's 14 isn't yet included - stand out on the facade behind home plate. From the numbers of the suites to the names of the concession stands, the club's . history is foremost. ''I'm glad the; decided to do that- pay homage to the trailblazers," said shortstop Barry Larkin, who like Rose is a Cincinnati native. "It's nice to have a baseball-only stadium dedicated to the Reds. It's a good thing for the city." It's the most di stinctive thing about the ballpark, which has no gimmicks that would affect the game. The right field wall is 8 feet tall and 325 feet away, the shortest distance allowed by baseball . The 8-foot wall in ce nter is 404 feet away, the same as at Riverfront, and the 12-foot wall in left is 328 feet away, the sanie as at Crosley. There's no oversized wall, no strange o utfield dimension. nothing odd in the field of play. "This is a baseball town, and we truly felt we wanted a baseball field that was fair," Allen said. The seats behind home are closer to the plate than the pitcher 's mound, making it tougher for runners to advance on a wild pitch or passed ball. A black building with nonrenecti ve windows serves as a ·party room and a unique batter's eye - the backdrop in centerfield. Otherwise, it's just a baseball field. " It won't be really quirky," Larkin said. "That's very consistent with how conservative Cincinnati is, which is good. Traditionally, we don't have spectacular this-or-that. "It's just show up and play and get after it the way it's supposed to be done." There's a gap in the stands by the third base side that opens a view to downtown. There are bleachers in left field and an uncovered sun/moon deck in right. And there's all of that history woven into the place. "We didn't want Great American Ball Park to be another cookie-cutter I 0 years down the road," Allen said. "I didn't want ours to be just like somebody else's. "We wanted it to be distinctly different so that when you come into this ballpark. you know you're in Cincinnati. We think we ' ve accomplished that." The job now is to start making new history. ''I'm looking forward to opening it up and filling it up ever night," Larkin said. "And hopefully, we can give them a reason to come back." • GALLIA AUTO SALES • GAUIA AUTO SALES • GAlliA AUTO SALES • Get '-\( I Ready ::-\ For Spring Fun!! '98 Ford 15' Box Truck Auto.

Most didn't care about approaching rain, the outcome (Cleveland beat Cincinnati 6-1 ) or that a hot dog and a cup of beer cost $9. "I think it's worth it," said Rick Hammer of Cincinnati . "We ' ve had a cheap stadi um for so long, I don't mind paying the price." Some, like Jason Baldock, 32, of Cincinnati , said he could not compare the new ballpark on the Ohio River with the much-despised Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field, where the Reds had played since 1970. "That doughnut is in the best place it ever could be, in Rumpke (landfill)," Baldock said. That flavorless cement bowl, which was just a few feet from the tlashy new one, was imploded in December. The debris has been mostly carted away, except for remnants of a parking garage that is being dismantled . Eric Lodor. 36, of suburban Loveland, liked the way Great American designers struck a balance between new and old. "It's not retro, but it's definitely unique," he said. " It · really highlight s everythin g that 's good about the city the river. downtown : the sky line. I think it's just fantastic." Tim Gates came from Utica, N.Y., for the weekend series of exhibition games with the Indian s. "I think it's beautiful; the river in the background is incredible ," said Gates, a_ high school football coach: and physical educationteacher. "Cinergy (Field} had its era. This is classic ." · Fans said designers had succeeded in building an intimate park, which seats 42,263. "I've been to Dayton and. Louisville quite a bit, and in: those minor league parks you're like on the field," said Roger McCulley. 37, of Cincinnati. "Here, you still feel like you· re on the field,. whereas at Riverfront, when: you were in the (upper deck)red seats you were out of the game." Designers dotted the park with nostalgia. The entrance has a re-creation of former Crosley Field 's outfield terrace , and there is an oldstyle analog clock atop the left-fie ld scoreboard. Concession stands ha ve names such as Frank ' s Franks (for Frank Robinson) and Doggie's Dogs (for Tony Perez). "I like how they named all the concessions after all the old players," Baldock said . "That's a beautiful thing." Harry Robbins, a retired GM worker, has seen the· Reds in all three of their most recent venues. "I was at the last game at Crosley Field, the first game at Riverfront - and the last game there. too," said Robbins, 72. "This is nice." About the only sour note was sounded by Baldock. who missed the first inning because ticket takers were overwhelmed by the latearriving, sellout crowd . "After waiting se ven years· . .. ," Baldock said in disgust. "He'll be f.ine," said his· wife, Tina. "He just needs to relax." ~- ....

I think we might surprise some people:' BY TtM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND - One by one, they emerged from the dugout to be introduced. As the Cleveland Indians took the field for a spring training game, a single thought came to mind. Who are THESE guys? After a decade of dominance, which included six trips tq the postseason in seven years, two World Series appearances and Ali,Stars up and down their lineup, the Indians have started from scratch. "We got some kids," said 38-year-old DH Ellis Burks. " But they can play. I think we might surprise some people." They ' re kids all right. Clheland will open the season with seven rookies, and II players with fewer than two years' experience. The overhaul has left only eight players from last year's openingday roster. The youth movement is apparent in every corner of the diamond . The staff's ace is 22. The rookie first baseman, certain to be compared to Jim Thome, has 62 career at-bats. The second baseman , nicknamed "the Franchise", is a converted shortstop. The third baseman is a 29-year-old journeyman, and the catcher and two starters are rookies. So is 35-year-old manager Eric Wedge, ·hired in October by 36-year-old general manager Mark Shapiro, who's hoping his second season won't be as painful as his first. "I don't want to even wait a year to win," Shapiro said. "I don't want to go through a tough week . I want to be back now. That fuels all of us. I'm bitter about having to go through any period where people don't look at us and f~ar us." There were so many new players as spring training opened that shortstop Omar Vizquel 's first request was a media guide so he could put faces with' names. "Everything is new," closer Danys Baez said. "New players, new managers, new coaches, new clubbies, New job for me." And a new outlook. For the first time since 1994, the Indians enter this season given no chance of winning the AL Central or much else . Once among baseball 's elite, they're now in a much lower class. They don't plan to stay there very long. "Of all the teams I've been on, I've never seen this much young talent in one clubhou se before," said reliever Bob Wickman, who spent five seasons with the New York Yankees. "These are 22-year-old guys who are ready for the major leagues. We have a whole bunch of guys ready to emerge right now." Last season was a shocker for the Indians and their fans. The club staggered to a 7488 record, finishing 20 l/2 games behind first-place Minnesota. Ellis Burks . .,;..-.,~ ,,-·, , ...•, ;,;:= ;,.... ' ....

That' s whv the Pirates would see m to be the last team capable of launching a ticketselling advertising campaign with a look and feel that screams expensive and madein-New York City. Thanks to a fi rst-of-its-ki nd partnership with Major Leag ue Baseball Productions. which is to baseball what the better-known NFL Films is to pro football , the Pirates' new ads greatl y resemble those of far-richer teams such as the Yankees anu Dodgers in quality and impact. The richl y te xtured TV spots featu re extensive game footage and player images and rcvolve around the theme "Come See Us Play" - not exactl y catchy or original, but one desigroed to emphasize the players. not promotional giveaways or the ballpark . Coming off a I 00-loss season a year ago. the Pirates seemed to J)lention everything but the on-field product in their ads. "Major League Baseball Productions does a lot of spots for the postseason and a lot of teams' highlight films, so I asked them. 'Have you ever done this for a team ?,' said Vic Gregovits. the Pirates' vice president of marketing and broadcasting. "They said, 'No, but we'd love to.'" The Pirates subsequently developed a strategy in which MLB Productions created and designed the radio and TV ads, while MARC USA, the team's ad agency, coordinated the purchasing of air time and handled the print campaign . By going to baseball 's inhouse film library, the Pirates didn't have to hire a company to shoot game action or player images. "They' ve got strong visual storytelling ability and unrivaled game footage, " Gregovits said. The Pirates felt those assets were important in this channel-flipping, surf-the- 'Net society in which attention spans are short, entertainment budgets are stretched and flashy, expensive ima~es often are required to be nottced. -Indiana• DH Ellis Burks It was tough to swallow for an organization so accustomed to winning. . But while dismantling his team by making six trades with five teams in 2002, Shapiro was able to amass some of baseball's top prospects. "It has been exciting," Shapiro said. "We are positioned extremely well for the future. We've got a lot of good things happening, and when things start falling into place, we have waves of good players coming behind the guys we already have. "Last year, was the rebuilding. Now, we're building." Brandon Phillips is one of the cornerstones. The 21-year-old second baseman, acquired from Montreal in the six-player deal for pitcher Bartolo Colon , has all the tools to be a superstar. He's got the bat, the glove, the arm, the speed- and the smile . "Brandon has a chance to be a very, very special player,'' Wedge said. Phillips beat out John McDonald for the starting job at second and is one of the favorites for the AL Rookie of the Year Award. Phillips certainly isn't lacking confidence . He seemed to be the only cne not surprised by his ascension to the majors after just 65 games at Triple-A. ''I'm glad people think 'highly of me," Phillips said. "I don't blame them." Two years ago, C.C. Sabathia was in a similar situation as Phillips. Projected for stardom, the left-bander surprised many by making the roster, securing his spot on the final day of spring training. This year, he broke camp as the club's No. I starter. It's not a role, the 280-pound Sabathia who slimmed down this winter, is taking lightly. ''I'm excited to be the No. I, the guy everybody relies on," said Sabathia, who went 13-11 a year ago. "I just have to go out and do my job, pitch deep into games. If I do that, I thfnk we' II win more than we lose." Rookies Ricardo Rodriguez and Jason Davis are also in the Indians' rotation, which could change weekly if some of Cleveland's young arms in the minors develop quickly. Veterans Brian Anderson and Jason Bere were signed to one-year contracts to help eat innings. They ' re only holding spots for the likes of Cliff Lee, Billy Traber, Brian Tallet and Jeremy Guthrie. Cleveland's biggest weakness is its bullpen, which is missing Wickman until September and Mark Wohlers until June because of injuries.

For safety purposes, it just makes good sense. But here in southeastern Ohio, we are blessed with topography that does not always lend itself to cell phone conversations. Small, affordable two-way radios can help fill those safety gaps. Most states surrounding Ohio allow the use of two-way radios while deer huntin!!. Currently in Ohio, the use of the radios is allowed in all types of hunting except for deer. The Ohio Wildlife Council meets April9 to vote on all 2003-2004 hunting and trapping regulation proposals.

"During recent open houses held across the state, we received a lot of hunter support for using radios for emergency or safety reasons during the deer hunting season," said Steve Gray, chief of the ODNR Division of Wildlife.

Outdoor, fitness group gets youngsters up, out and moving PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - Adventure Pursuit is on the move again and wants youngsters to get moving ·as well. The fitness and outdoor group from adventure Parkersburg presented its plans to the Wood County Commission recently. Among the projects is a guide of woups and fitness-based activities availatle in the area, some specifically for children. Kim Clancy, executive director of Adventure Pursuit, said the activities listing has grown from a partnership with Wood County schools that has been working with community or~a­ nizations and clubs offenng activities. Many of the groups have compiled a traveling road show called "Show'em What You Got!" "We've been taking bikes, kayaks, boxing gloves and scooters into schools and teaching gym classes," Clancy said. ".We are workin~ to get as many community groups together to showcase to the sQ!ools and the community all the area has to offer:" 'Besides the physical demonstrations on bike riding and ](ayaking, students see a 10minute film on the program. Ultimately, Clancy said, the partnership hopes to gather mformation on activity groups and post it on Adventure Pursmt's Web site with a calendar of activities the community CoOk of the Week, Page C2 Celebrations, Page C4 Beverly Gettles review, Page C5 6unbap tfr;imtj -6entinel Pa~c Cl Sunday, March 30, 2002 Proceeds benefit the NWTF, a nation- deer hunting.

What a fitting place to remember Larry. Larry, if you recall, died on March 8 at his home near Racine, and I'd say he was the leading expert about fishing that particular stretch of Ohio River. Practically every time I fished downstream of the dam. it seemed Larry would be there, perched on one of the rocks jutting out into the current, fishing for hybrid striped bass or whatever else was biting at the time. He was always hauling in fish, it seemed, even if nobody else was catchin~ a thing. It was sometimes enough to drive you crazy, yet if you asked him he would always share a tip, or show you what he using, or even give you a jig if he thought it would help- usually it didn't. I just don't have the kind of fishing finesse he had. Larry was a familiar site to hundreds of anglers at the Racine Locks and Inside: "Now you can think about your call, not how long it is:' can access. 'This will be a central clearinghouse of activity opportunities in the area," she told the commission. Clancy said 50,000 copies of the guide will be produc~i. She said 30,000 will be in The Parkersburg News and Sentinel, I3,000 will be distributed to students in Wood County Schools and the remainder will be available at different locations. Clancy said targeting the children of the region is essential. "We have the highest rate of unhealthy, obese children in West Vrrginia," she said. "We want to get the whole community involved." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said obesity rates in the United States have risen greatly in the past 20 years. On July 5, Clancy said, the group's annual tnathlon at Mountwood Park will be expanded to involve seven races.. Outdoors groups are invited to set up booths at the park and offer the public the opportunity to try the activities. "We have four new races this year, including a three-and-ahalf-mile walk or run," she said. "Our goal is to make this an event everyone can participate in.

'"'bis past season's record deer harvest can be attributed to expanded bag limits, opportunities to hunt · on Sundays, and excellent hunting conditions during the statewide gun season" said Mike Reynolds, deer biologist for ODNR's Division of Wildlife. The total number of deer taken was 24 percent above last year's season total of 165,124 and 14 percent above the I995 record year. Deer season was open Oct. 5, 2002 through Jan. ~I. 2003.

Tara said that she couldn't do it without all the dedicated volunteers that come to help her. though. "There are 15-20 volunteers that come regularly. We have a good time. We have come to the conclusion that working here is quite therapeutic. All of us who work in the kitchen have either lost loved ones or gone through an illness. It seems as if working here helps us to heal. It's lots of hard work, but we have a good social time, too," said Dewhurst. Tara said that she started helping at the Farm Museum after her husband passed away seven years ago. After working there about a year, she was asked to become the manager for a year. "It's the longest year I've ever seen." Tara said, smiling. Tara said that she enjoys working at the Farm Museum and feels as though she is an integral part of the museum. "The kitchen helps replenish the budget of the Farm Museum, which operates q1ainly from donations. The money we raise in the kitchen · is important," said Dewhurst. The many banquets that are held there each year also help to provide operational money for the museum. Part of Dewhurst's duties include making food for the banquets. Dewhurst said that there are rarely less than 70 people at a banquet, and to provide for that many people, tt needs to be something ordinary nothing laborious. "Whatever people ask for, we try to fix, but we cook in suc h large volumes that it can't be something elaborate. My chicken seems to be one of the favorites, but it 's pretty simple to make," said Dewhurst. Tara Dewhurst has t>een cooking at the West Virginia State Farm Museum for more than seven years, dishing out thousands of dinners each year. Dewhurst dishes up a t>owl of home-made vegetat>te soup for the AmeriCorps team leader on her first day visiting the Farm Museum. These pieces of scruptuous orange cake have a light, frothy icing that is great for a warm, summer day. Dewhurst said that it is a favorite with everyone. . ,, ,.

Adena · SportsCare, a divi sion of · Adena Health System would like to help promote this event by providing the regional area with sportsm edicine tips for the competitive athlete, the weekend warrior, and the concerned parent. This year the National Athletic Trainer's Association (NATA) is promoting Injury Assessment. The NATA is made up. of Certified Athletic Trainers' - that are trained to provide · care to the injuries of the · physically active. Over the past few weeks we have covered some minor . tnJunes that you may : encounter as an athlete. - Now, I would like to pro.; vide you with some in forma, tion on a more serious injury. Concussions are an injury that can range from mild to severe. A concussion is an injury to the brain . This may Shane Wells be only brief with minimal symptoms or it can be life ending. A concussion is caused by some sort of trauma to the brain. This may be a direct blow to the head in a football game or a sudden stop of the head causing the brain to hit the skull . The signs and symptoms of a concussion include dizziness, disorientation, headache, memory loss, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, and loss of consciousness. You may experience one or all of these symptoms. Concussions are graded on a Grade I (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), and Grade 3 (severe) scale. A Grade I concussion is defined as having minimal symptoms with no loss of consciousness. The ath lete will usually be able to return to play after 15 to 20 minutes with no problems. A Grade 2 concussion is defined as having increased s;·mptoms that will be moderate and may last for a few hours to a few days. A Grade 3 concussion is · defined as having loss of consciousness and severe symptoms. The loss of consciousness could be as brief as a few seconds or as long as a few minutes. A Grade 3 concussion definitely is a medical emergency and needs to be evaluated by a physician. Either an athletic trainer or a physician should properly evaluate each level of concussion before the athlete returns to play. The athlete should not return to play until the symptoms are complete! y resolved and the athlete has returned to normai function. If an athlete would return to play with the symptoms of a concussion remaining and would happen to suffer another concussion there is a very high risk of death. In this case it is better to be safe than sorry, erroring on the side of caution due to the potential complications. The plan of treatment for a concussion is to rest. You need to be evaluated by an athletic trainer or a physician. If you return to competition before your symptoms have subsided you have an increased risk of permanent injury or even death. You want to make sure that you alert everyone that you are suffering from these symptoms and not compete .

BLONZ: My fiance refuses to use dairy products after the expiration date . My question is: How long after the expiration date can you use milk , eggs, cheese or yogun? - M.K., Bedford, Ind . DEAR M.K.: Clearing up a misunderstanding about dating seems proper for a couple about to get married. The good news is that to some degree you are both correct. Food should not be consumed after an expiration date. However, the foods yod mention don 't tend to have expiration dates, and rely instead on a quality-control dating system that allows for consumption after the posted date. That said, let's go through the different dating systems you' II find on various products: Sell-by Date (also called a Pull Date)- This is the last date on which a product be sold. should Manufacturers use these dates to let retailers know how long to sell the product. There is an allowance for normal home use with these dates. It is found on short shelf-life (perishable) foods such as dairy products, fresh meats, snack foods and refrigerated deli food s. Assuming that they are stored properly, milk products, for example, tend to be fresh for up to seven days after they are opened, but you might not get a full week if you first open the product on the sell -by date. Much depends on the number of times a product is opened, and how long it has been kept at room temperature.

BY JOANNE ELLIOTT, RN Gallia County Health Dept Bibs and burp cloths are common equipment for mothers of newborn babies. These are needed for the frequent "spitting up" of infants. . Health care providers spend :many hours reassuring the : parents of otherwise healthy infants that the inconvenience and the mess of their infant's "spitting up" does not reflect illness, but is a : variation of normal develop: ment that should improve as :the infant grows and matures. :Occasionally, the regurgitation is associated with irritability or other "colic-like" symptoms, which are often · not related to the reflux but :add to the parents' anxiety . : Clinically obvious reflux., ·known as regurgitation, is corpmon during infancy. ~J:Ihysiologic infantile reflux is :thought to be due to a relative immaturity of the central nervous system that controls upper gastrointestinal movement. This is shown by the observation that most premature infants have reflux. Recent studies have shown that over 50 percent of healthy full term infants have at least one or more episodes of regurgitation per day during the first three months of life. For the majority of these "happy spitters" who are otherwise thriving, their regurgitation gradually improves with 9~% improvement by the second birthday. Infants, children, and adults can also have short duration reflux following meals as part of the gastric venting process (burping). In some infants and children this process does not resolve with age and takes a pathologic course with the development of reflux associated complications. Three major categories of compli- cations are seen in problem- chospasm while aspiration of atic reflux or significant amounts can Gastroesophageal Reflux result in pneumonia.

Other parents may dilute formula or introduce cows milk to young infants. These practices may increase growth problems by decreasing caloric intake. Esophagitis should be considered in infants and young children who stop eating after a few bites of food or refuse to eat or drink . This is especially important in non-verbal special needs children. Special needs children who have developmental disabilities or musculoskeletal problems are at particular risk for reflux. associated problems. In reflux therapy, education and reassurance of the family regarding the natural history of infantile reflux is the first and most important step. Dietary modifications such as small frequent feedings and the thickening of formula by the addition of cereal or the use of special formulas with added thickening agents can be of benefit. Acid reduction can be achieved through appropriate medications. In older patients who fail to respond to medical therapy and remain at risk for longterm complications, surgery is an option. There are some side effects to the surgery, however (retching, bloating, and loss of effectiveness over time).

The students, Sigma Chi Omega pledges appearing on the MTV network·s "Fraternity Life," could face criminal trespass c~arges, Clark said. The misdemeanor count carries a maximum jail term of 90 days.

At one time, Cormac resides in a bordello, initially because he wanted a bath and to get away from the filth on the streets of the city which had no running water. One can only imagine how terrible conditions were for the poor in the cities at that time. Cormac's duty as a Celt also includes taking vengeance for his father's death on any of the Earl of Warren's male descendants. Willie Warren , newspaper publisher and wealthy socialite , appears in New York to make the plot more interesting. Jn the final section of the book Cormac falls in love with a beautiful yo ung woman from the Dominican Republic who works in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

BY ED HUTCHISON Associated Press Each Easter, millions of us · are re-introduced to one of the most splendid garden plants avai lable. And very soon after, we seem to forget the experience. Potted Easter Iilies are enormously popular; millions are sold in the United States each year. The bulbs are mostly a product of growers in Washington and Oregon, and the lilies that will bloom this Easter were harvested from the Pacific Northwest fields in October and then carefully forced into bloom by growers working with a well-laid out plan. The familiar Easter lily is a member of the genus Lilium. The gen us numbers about 80 to 90 species of perennial bulbs, growing from less than 12 inches high to more than 96 inches. This plant is different than the daylily (Hemerocallis). The daylily grows in clumps of grass-like foliage and produces !lower stalks with many buds on them, each flower lasting but one day. The Easter lily produces one stalk. with long. pointed foliage on the stalk and usually several buds, each of which opens to last several days. With that botany lesson completed, here are a few reasons why lil'es deserve a place in gardens in all but the hottest sections of the cou ntry: • Longevity. Most members ·of the Lilium genus are . long-lived bulb plants that require little care and each year can be counted on to be even nicer than the year before. They offer the gardener a huge diversity in flower color. size and fragrance. The blossoms are wonderful in the garden and as a cut flower. The plant fits in wonderfully with perennials or annuals. Its only mildly fussy needs are more sun than shade and having its roots shaded from the heat of the day. This is easily accomplished by having smaller plants in front of the lilies. • Fragrance. Few plants are as consistently fragrant as the lily. Among the most fragrant of the whole bunch is an oriental lily named Casa Blanca. The tlowers are large, as much as 7 inches across, and shaped like a bowl, the way the petals curve back. The inner part of the petals is flocked and streaked in yellow, adding a sharp contrast to the pure white that prevails on the surface. One stem will fill a room with its rich aroma; walk within 15 feet of the gatden and you know Casa Blanca is in bloom. You would think that such a large, fragrant flower would be clumsy visually and overpowering. Dainty~ it's not; stunning is the best way to describe it. • Choices. Casa Blanca is just one of hundreds of varieties of lilies that do well in gardens throughout the country. The oriental lilies are -the most fragrant of the bunch and tend to bloom in mid- to late-summer. The Asiatic species are less fragrant and bloom a few weeks earlier. Flower shapes are a bit more varied among the Asiatics - open bowls, similar to the orientals, to the extreme of blooms with petals curved far back. Hybrids within the Asiatic species exhibit a wide range of colors. Look for lots of pastels but also very strong reds, oranges and yellows. The true species lilies are less formal in appearance and bear softer colored flowers than most of the hybrid Asiatic and oriental varieties. .

They may be bearing enetnies instead of friends. I learned my lesson the hard way, · from a true plant geek who lived next door. Hubert's garden was filled with varietie~ he came to know in his native Britain, hunted down from obscure sources all over the United States, and then ordered by mail. He also loved to propagate plants and share them with friends and neighbors. • I had no problem with the espaliered fig tree and the towenng pink crape myrtle he gave me, but I rue the day he came trotting over with a little piece of "extra" spurge that he was certain I would love to have in my garden. 1 was not familiar with this particular euphorbia, but then, Hubert had hundreds of plants in his garden that even avid American gardeners would never know. I planted it in the herb garden, hoping it would help fill in some of the empty space between the sage and the chervil. And did it ever' Within a few years, it had carpeted the herb garden, jumped across the path to a perenrnal bed, and popped up several yards away under the dwarf nectarine tree. Even after the garden was completely renovated, the spurge sporadically appeared 111 the rruddle of the new lawn. Hubert wasn't sure of the botanical name of this euphorbia, but it turned out to be Cypress spurge (euphorbia cyparissias) a European imrnigrant which is now considered invasive in many states. It's a tx:autiful plan't, with soft green needle-like foliage - you'd almost think it was some kind Qf a dwarf evergreen- and in summer it has small yellowish. !itj:en bracts that later on tum to a reddish hue. I hate to say it, but I actually would plant this euphorbia again, but only in an area between two slabs of concrete or in a container. Another well-intentioned friend gave me the rapacious lemon balm (melissa officinalis) and the tenacious tansy (tanacetum vulgare), which she insisted that I try because of its quaint old reputation as the "strewing herb" - strewn about the ground in olden times to disguise repulsive odors. I think it's known as the "strewing herb" because it strews it' seeds all over the yard. The lemon balm ]jas a pleasant, lemony smell, but it's a lemon of a plant. It, too, is coming up all over my yard, and although its leaves can be used for a delightful tea, I've got so much of it I could almost go into the herbal tea business. Plant catalogs and nurseries almost never warn you that a plant might be problematical. One prominent mail-order house notes that tansy leaves can be used as an insect repellent, and another observes that the obedient plant (physostegia virginiana) gets its name from the ability of the blooms to stay put if you push them · around · the stem. It won't stay put in · the garden, however, unless you buy the cultivar Miss Manners, which is far better behaved than its aggressive cousins · . Most nursenes and grow~rs are m the busmess of selhng P.lants, and they tend to emphaSIZe demable, rather than undestrable plant tratts. Before you plant anythmg, you should o.btai~ a copy. of the "invastves hst that ts kept by your local county extension agent, or check out individual plants in reference books or on the Internet.

WASHINGTON (AP) American units began probing attacks in a rim around the southern outskirts of Baghdad in another effort to pave the way for the battle for the caP: ita!, defense officials satd Monday. A week of heavy bombing has left some of Iraq' s Republican Guard units surrounding · Baghdad at less than half ,strength, Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sunday. And U.S. Army troops spearheading the drive to Baghdad on Monday fought their way into Hindiya, about 50 mil~s from the capital, capturing dozens of members of Saddam Hu ssein's elite Republican Guard . Other Army and Marine units were sent closer to Baghdad on probing missions to assess Iraqi troop strength and cut Iraqi forces off where they can, two Defense Department officials said Monday. Some have crossed over into the so-called "red zone." one official said. The ' has said that as Pentagon invadillg forces moved into the area, cornered Iraqi forces could decide to attack with chemical weapons. As criticism continued to swirl around a war plan some say underestimated Iraqi resistance and the necessary U.S. troop strength, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was meeting Monday with President Bush . It was not a convening of national security advisers, but the long-standing weekly one-on-one meeting between the president and defense secretary. Intense bombing continued on Monday. Over the weekend, Pentagon officials said that U.S. troops were prepared for a major attack against Sadda.h's Guard forces , but the heaviest attack may have to await pressure to build on the Iraqi leader. "Their fighting capability is going down minute by minute, hour by hour. There's not going to be much left to fight with," Myers said Sunday.
