We're working toward making our cars a little better. That's a big key for us, is try to keep working on making our cars better. · "There are a lot of bright things going on at RCR, and we just keep moving and growing." To Childress' way of thinking, the addition of a third team in 2002 played a role in recent struggles. "We were behind last year," Childress said. "I think we started out behind. I don't believe in excuses; I don't accept them and I try not to give them. I think one of the reasons that got us behind was adding an extra team . There was more to it than what we realized. I think now · that we've gotten through building (new facilities), we're where we need to be. "We'll keep doing it until we get it where I think the three-car team works. My goal was to have all three of them the saine, and I accomplished my goal. They're just all three maybe 25th, 26th, 27th,.which isn't good.

The ' village had used its own numbering system for years, the same system in use before the new numbers were drawn up for the village by the Gallia County Engineer's Office .

Associated Press CHARLESTON , W.Va. - The former owner of Highlander Allo ys LLC's plant in Mason County is seeking foreclosure because the company has failed to pay $750,000 that it owes for the property. American Alloys, which is bankrupt, sold the plant to Highl ander in November 200 I for $2 million . Highlander paid $1 million upfront and was to pay the remainder within a year. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ronald Pearson has scheduled a hearing on April 15 on an emergency application filed in March by American Alloys seeking foreclosure on the property. American Alloys said it wanted to protect its collateral. Pearson has give n American Alloys permission to hire security to protect the plant and prevenl .anyone from removing its assets. The company also is allowed to inventory the property in preparation for a possible foreclosure. Financial and legal problems have dogged Hi ghlander Alloys since last year. · After it purchased the New Haven plant, workers started bringing the furnaces online. Then, 'paychecks bounced in June 2002 and state and federal labor officials took the company to court. The plant was shut down until the money was raised. When the company missed another payday in August 2002, employee s went on strike. Operations resumed after a payment agreement was worked out. In February, a Kanawha County judge ordered the company to pay $220,000 in back wages plus damages to 130 workers after it missed two pay periods. ' BY BmE PEARCE Managing edilor NEW HAVEN , W.Va. New Haven's dramatic drop in crime over the last few months would make any community envious, and leave many asking how the small tow n acco mpli shed such a feat. Once inundated with trying to investigate 35 to 40 theft, vandalism and breaking and entering reports a month, the New Haven Police Department now typi cally gets only seven or eight complaints a month. " For the most part, it's pretty quiet around here now," Police Chief David Varian says. • The formula for the town's success in reducing crime is actually quite simple: Re sidents and local government officials who are willing to commit the financial resources necessary to combat crime. New Haven had been operating with only two full-time officers - the chief and one officer - and one part-time officer a little more than a year ago. Today, the community has four · full-time officers, including the chief, and a part-ti~er, providing 24hou r, seven-day-a-week police protection. · About a year ago, the town co unci I raised the fee that residents pay to support a police department from $3.50 a month to $5.50 a Wednesday, April 30, 2003 • 1 PM · 4:30 PM . Holzer Medical Center Education & Conference Center month per household. There are about 650 households in New Have n. Complaints fro'in residents about the increase were minimal, Mayor Stephen Smith says. "People don ' t mind paying when they get results, which is what we've done." A third full-time officer was added to the force last summer after council rearranged some funding to various town departments. ''Some departments .didn 't need as much as they were budgeted, and others, like the police department, needed more," the mayor said. Last fall , the town obtained a $55,000 federal grant, which is administered through the state, to provide for a fourth full-time officer. Seventy-five percent of the fourth officer"s pay the frrst year comes from grant (unds, with the remaining 25 percent paid by the town . The Iown·s share of the officer's pay in the second and third year increases, with the town responsible for I 00 percent of his pay in the fourth year. The gradual inhease "gives us plenty of time to plan and prepare for fully funding that position; to put more money into the police budget," Smith said.

Afterward, the two clashed verbally in the Talladega garage area. ' Ye ah, he ended up on my out· side when (Greg) Biffle pinched me up against him."

My teammate pulled out in front of me, and I didn 't have enough time to make a move to get around him. If I. woUld have slammed on the brakes, we would have lost the draft ." NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton &lves his take: "Accident or not , Stewart is obviously growing weary of be 1ng caught in accidents not of )1is making. He's placed 26th, 34th, and 25th in the past three races. and t he champion 's frustrations are mounting." By Monte Dutton nan age of multimillionaire team owners who came to NASCAR from other businesses, Richard Childress is a racer and a man who achieved his success the oldfashioned way. Childress- owner of Winston Cup Chevrolets driven by Kevin Harvick, Robby Gordon and Jeff Green- was once a driver himself. Unlike many others, Childress built on modesrsuccess behind the wheel to become one of the more successful own~rs the sport has ever known. "First of all, I couldn't get in the sport (now) like I got in it then," Childress said. "I got in it at probably a prime time- a young guy having fun , not really realizing what I was doing -and built a race team. I knew what I wanted to do, but at that point, I wasn't ready to get out of the car. But I saw the Harry Raniers, the Rod Osterlunds- this · group of people coming in with money ~ and I could see where a single guy like myself, who could run in the top five or top 10, was being pushed back. I could see the trend back in the '70s when these guys started coming.... I knew then that, if I wanted to stay in the sport, I had to do something besides try to drive and own the cars." Childress, who won six Winston Cup championships with the late Dale Earnhardt (out of Earnhardt's career total of seven), has been suffering some growing pains with his teams of late. His drivers - Harvick, Gordon and Green -currently sit eighth, 13th and 31st, respectively. "We're not where we wanted to be, for sure," Childress said. "We had hoped to be a little better.

News & Sentinel: It may not be correct to say West Virginia's economy is based on smoke and mirrors. It would be closer to the truth to say it is based on smoke and gambling. During the 2003 legislative session, taxes on cigarettes were raised by 55 cents a pack to. help ease the state's budget crisis and Medicaid deficit. And now that other economic anchor - gambling - is seeking to become a bigger part of the state's economy. According to published reports recently, Mountaineer R.acetrack and Gaming Center, which operates the Chester horse track. wants permission to add 500 video slot machines at the facility. This would raise the total number of machines Co 3,500. The Lottery Commission is scheduled to take up the request when it meets, although it should be noted the commission has never voted against any track's request for more machines. Last year. both Mountaineer and Charles Town Races, along with several other businesses. won permission to increase the number of video lottery machines each could operate with the profits going to fund Gov. Bob Wise's Promise Scholarship program for West Virginia high school students.. So, in essence, cigarettes and gambling are essential to the financial solvency of our state. Health experts say cigarettes are responsible for more deaths in the United States than any other cause. The best thing a smoker can do, everyone, (including state officials) says is to quit. Yet, how can the state encourage people to quit smoking when the profits from those smokers plays such an important role in the state's bud~et? · . And the same goes for gambhng. Gambling can lead to an addiction every bit as strong as smoking, yet it, also, has become an essential source of revenue. West Virginia state officials cannot be blamed for their dependence on these types of "si n taxes" since the state's economy is based on declining il)dustries. In essence, you have to use the tools at hand. However, we think it extremely dangerous to base state revenues - and the services that depend on those revenues -on cigarettes and slot machines. . Clara Sanborn These are the spoils of war It should come as no surprise that the fall of Saddam Hussein is causing an avalanche of repercussions all around the world.

Pinhead Professors: The reputations of fine universities such as Columbia and Princeton have been tarnished by the insane rantings of some radical professors.

Woods, tryinjl to become the first player to win three straight green jackets, went 21 holes before making a birdie and opened with a 76. If that wasn't bad enough, he finished seven strokes behind his amateur partner, Ricky Barnes. This was supposed to be a day when only the ·finest survived, but there was burly Clarke and his steady stream of cigar smoke, ambling the fairways to a 6-under 66 in the toughest first-round for scoring at Augusta in 15 years. When the second round was finally suspended by darkness, Clarke lost the lead to the hottest Lefty in golf- no, not that one. Mike Weir of Canada, a two-time winner this year, but rarely a contender in majors, birdied his final two holes and was at 6 under par with six holes to play. · · Clarke, with back-to-back bogeys, was at 4 under through I0 holes. The more famous southpaw - Phil Mickelson -looks like he '11 have yet another crack at winninjl his first major. He opened with a 73, then budied four .of his ftrst five holes and finished his long day at 2-under par with seven holes left. The only other guy in red numbers was Barnes. the U.S. Amateur champion who ~ot some key advice from Woods - "Just enJOY yourself'·- and shot a 69. He was at I under and will have eight more holes to play on Saturday. Woods is tryin!l to make history, but this isn 't what he had ·m mind. Not only was it his highest first-round score in a major since turning pro, it was his worst start at any PGA Tour-sanctioned event since a 76 in the 1998 Western Open. Even more ommous: No Masters champion has ever started with worse than a 75. Still, as sunshine finally broke through the clouds in the afte~oon, Woods slowly worked h1mself back mto the hunt with three birdies on the back nine. He was 2-over par sitting on the bench at the par-5 second hole: when the hom sounded to stop play. ..

Right-hander Jimmy Hayne s pl ans to make hi s start Saturday against the Phillies. Hay nes had to leave hi s start last Saturday because of a tight bac k. The Reds pushed his next start back a day to give him a littl e extra time to recover. "It 's still a little tight," Hayres said Friday, "but it' s not sore like it was. I'm going to try to do my regul ar routine." The weather should be in his favor. It was 44 degrees wi \h wind chills in the 30s when his back bothered him last weekend. The forecast is for temperatures in the 60s on Saturday. "That should make it a little easier," Haynes said. "It shouldn ' t stiffen up as much." • LARKIN OUT: Short stop .

W.Va. - In their first SEOAL league ga me of the year. the Big Blacks had !lashes of bril li ance but also stru gg led at times against an undefeated Jackso n squad that didn't have the pitching to keep up wtth Potn t Pleasant's offense . Inevitably, the difference in the game was quality pitching and even though Big Blacks starter Kenny Durst struggled. he pitched well enough for Point Pleasant to scratch out a 7-6 win against a duo of Jackso n pitchers Thursday. '- · Durst pi tc hed all se ven inning s agamst the lronmen. but often struggled to find his control. Although the junior allowed only 3 earned runs and struck out II batters with his impress iv·e fastball, he also walked 10 Iron men that resulted in two runs scored. Jac kson depended on Carl Evan and Justin Ochsenbein to carry the load but only fou nd limited succe ss. Evan started out fo r the Ironmen and gave up fiv e runs before being re mo ved in the fourth inning . Ochsenbein stepped in and pitched wel l (pr three inning s but gave up the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game started badly for the Big Blacks as Durst went to the mound in the first innin g and, although he threw hard, walked five batters.

There 's one thing he's sure of: If the slump doesn't end soon, the Reds are going to be in trouble . Th e Reds were last in the National Le ag ue in hitting (.208) and had more · strikeouts th an hits (69 to 61) heading into their game Friday ni ght against Philadelphi a. The failure to hit was the biggest factor in their 3-6 start. 'There's a lot of reasons for not hitting," Boone said. "But there aren't a lot of reasons for not having quality at-bats. That is probably my biggest concern right now. If we don' t straighten this out and start having some b~tter at-bats . some consistent at-bats, we ' re not going to like where we are. " The Reds expected their offense to carry them in Great American Ball Park, which was tailored for their left-handed power hitters. It's only 325 feet down the right-field line to an eight-foot wall. It hasn 't worked out so far. The Reds lost four of their first six games at home, then went 1-2 in a series in Houston. Boone has tinkered with his lineup since Griffey separated hi s shoulder last Saturday, trying to find a combination that works. "Without Junior in the middle there, it 's a big difference," Boone said. "If Junior had been in the lineup (in Houston) and had a good series. we could have swept them ."
