I t's a new season and a new team for Jerry Nadeau, and as in the • case of many other drivers, things have not yet come together for the 32year-old driver from Danbury, Conn. All Nadeau bas to show for the season to date is a fourth-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway on March 30. Ot~er than that isolated showing, Nadeau, in his U.S. Army-sponsored Pontiac, has finished no higher than 14th. That's where he finished in Sunday's Auto Club 500. He ended up on the lead lap despite spinning out twice. "I'll be honest," Nadeau said. "I'm not very happy with how my career has gone in Winston C.Up. I've been competitive my whole life. I worked hard to get to Winston Cup . I may have not had the smoothest runs getting here. At times I felt like I didn't have the right people behind me, but I kept sticking with it.

Qualifying, by the way, has been a bit better. Nadeau has qualified in the top 15 six times. He was sixth at California Speedway, the two-mile, Dsbaped track in Fontana. "If ·you look at my stats, I think I've always been a pretty decent qualifier since I got into Winston Cup," Nadeau said. "I think a lot of that is how I grew up. We used to go in the back of a pick· up truck with our go-karts, and guys used to come in there with enclosed trailers, chrome wheels, and I knew I didn't have the best stuff, so I knew I had to drive a lot harder and a lot more on the edge than they did. I think I just picked it up from that and applied it to Winston Cup. I can control that edge. Sometimes I go a little bit overboard and end up smacking the wall." While he waits for his fortunes to change, Nadeau, who won a Winston C_up race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Nov. 20, 2000, is keeping his chin up. "I feel good," he said. "I don't get as upset as I used to get. You only live once, and I just try to take it day by day. There are times that I used to get so frustrated. I was frustrated for four years. Even though I won a race, I was frustrated because you look at other people's careers, and you kind of look at how they were brought up and how they were into the series and you say to yourself, 'Wow, it would be cool if I had a ·start like that.' "When I came into Winston Cup in '97, I didn't know a soul. I didn't have managers. I didn't have people telling me where I should go or what I should do. I just drove anything I could get into. I think sometimes that might have gotten me in trouble. Then, you look at guys like Jeff Gordon and how his career got started with (stepfa~ ther) John Bickford and (crew chief) Ray Evernham and spending three years in Busch. I did four races in Busch. I did two ARCA rac~s and then right into Cup. I'm not complaining about that. I'm happy to be in the elite Winston Cup Series. Maybe I wish I · would have won a lot more races than just one right now, but t.here are many years to go down the road, I'm sure this team is going to win many races." How does NASCAR let him get away with th1ngs li ke that? I watched Dale Sr. gel away with the same lh1ngs and now they're letting Jr. get away with them. Can 't he win a race honestly? I've seen NASCAR t>lack· fl ag a Busch driver for doing the same thing. To NASCAR : Please be fair to all the drivers. Not everyone will want to watch the race if we all know the out· come beforehand. I will always believe that Dale Jr. did not win that rqce . t-tow he can rake all the glory and look.the other drivers in the f~ce is beyond me . HUCh and June Patterson Magnolia.

NATIONAL VIEW Dropping Lower oil prices may help jump start economy • Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa., on falling prices at the gas pump: Our victory in Iraq seems to have forced a sharp drop in the price of crude oil at the wholesale leveL That means gasoline prices at the pump are expected to "' come down soon, which will make sticker-shocked motori sts very happy. And it's also great news for energy-consuming companies, such as airlines and shippers and those specializing in petrochemicals arid pharmaceuticals. Oil prices have fallen from sky-high level s largely because Iraqi oil field s were largely unharmed. At the same time, other oil-producing nations have increased production to record levels, indicating that a glut could emerge, forcing prices to fall dramatically in the next few weeks. The dr.op, for example, has meant that jet fuel now costs the airlines about 75 cents a gallon, down from $1.28 a gallon five weeks ago. Because of that, analysts are predicting .that this will make a difference between profitability and bankruptcy for many carriers. Lower oil prices will also pump life into our listless economy, which has been in a holding pattern for many months before the start of the Iraq War. I ·TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ' .

OUR READERS' VIEWS Can't afford it Dear Editor: On May 6, the voters of Gallipolis will be asked to vote on candidates for. the Gallipolis City Commission. We feel the voters should be made aware of Richard A. Moore 's voting record since he became a city commissioner in 2000. Mr. Moore voted for three deficit budgets, 2000, 2001 . means the an d 2002 . Th ts village of Gallipolis spent mo.re money in those three Years than revenues collected, and don't be surprised if 2003 turns out to be a deficit budget. Moore voted in 2001 to pay City Manager E.V. Clarke $65,000 a year. Moore voted in 2002 to provide a liability insurance policy for E.V. Clarke in the amount of $50,000 damages plus pay attorney fees in a pending lawsuit filed in federa! court. On Feb. 5, 2001, Mr. Moore voted no on a motion to recognize the local AFSCME union , although he was a strong union member while employed at the Goodyear Plant in Apple Grove , W.Va. Mr. Richard Moore was president of \he City Commission when E.V Clarke, city manager, hired his son, Mark Moore, ascustodian of the City Building. This job as janitor with ben- efits pays over $24,000 a year. In January 2002, Moore voted no on a motion to have an open meeting policy. Mr. Moore, along with Mr. Fenderbosch and Ms. Skinner, initiated a frivolous investigation against two other commissioners, Snowden alid Marchi , in order to discredit them. After Mike Tuc ker's investigation, Mr. Moore made the motion to further the investi gation by hiring Michael Moses, a Columt:ms, Ohio, attorney; at $Dle7b5oraanhhouTr.hCaoxutortnrepforrtemr 0 Barboursville, W.Va.. was provided to Mr. Moses at a cost of $693.25. The taxpayers of Gallipolis paid over $5,000 . for this witch hunt which ·produced nothing but confusian, hard feelings, a standstill government and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Mr. Moore, in two articles released to the Tribune, has advocated that Gallipolis get into the electric business. He never came up with cost figures for operation maintenance or buyout cost of the AEP local system. The vii!age of Gallipolis was blessed whenAEPrefused to selL Can you imagine the cost to city residents during the ice storm this year? Gallipolis cannot afford or does it need Richard A.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A group of reporters stood around Mark Brunell, hanging on his every word. A few paces away, another bunch talked to Byron Leftwich. Welcome to the Ja~k so nville Jaguars locker room - what should be a very interesting place for the next year or so. Along with Leftwich , the first-round draft pick, Brunell took the field at . minicamp Friday. :rhe llth-yearveteran was fresh off a meeting in which owner Wayne Weaver told him 2003 will almost certainly be his final season with the Jaguars. In political parlance, that would make Brunell a lame duck . In football terms, the whole thing looks like a mess. · , . . . " I wasn't doing backflips on draft day, I'll tell you that," Brunell said. "It' s something I'm going to have to deal with ." Brunell has two years left on his contract . Earlier this week. Weaver and Brunell met and Weaver offered Brunell a contract extension that didn ' t inc Jude a signing bonus. Brunell said when he refused to si~n it, Weaver told him. he would remam Jacksonville 's quarterback for this season, but the team would not be able to keep _him next year. Weaver, who encouraged the Leftwich pick, was miffed that Brunell went public about the meeting. "I have a lot of conversations with players, and I' d like to keep them confidential ," he said. In his first practice with the_Jag'uars, Leftwich's performance was predictably uneven. He dropped his first snap from center. He -was methodical throwing the ball.

It's • something I'm going to have to deal with:' -Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell clearly needs work on his drop . He said Brunell was perfectly nice to him, and he· has bigger thin gs to worry about than the brewing controversy. "I !mow the kind of guy Mark is, and he proved what a good guy he is here on Day I,'' Leftwich said. " I've already seen it out there ." Somewhat lost in the shuffle is David Garrard , a fourth-round draft pick last year who was supposed to be the quarterback of the future. Now, he 's headed for third string, fighting for hi s job. "I've just got to go out there and play hard and see what happens," Garrard said. Put in the awkward position of managing a delicate quarterback situation. first-year coac h Jack Del Rio said he was prepared. 'There are a lot of different thing s that can take away from your attention ," Del Rio said. "This happens to be the first of '03." A few options s.till exist. The Jaguars could trade Brunell, which is unlikely given his $8.75 million salary cap figure . Or, they could cut him after June I and commit to a full-fledged season of rebuilding with Leftwich and Garrard. What won't happen, Brunell promises, is he won't hold out or g1ve less than ·t 00 percent. 'T m not going to be a malcontent or have a bad attitude," Brunell said. He said he'll work with Leftwich, the way he 's worked with all the quart.erbacks who have come and gone in Knights from Page 81 allowed eight hits and one walk' while recording four strikeouts. Back in the fourth, Oliver scored on a hit 'by Alicen Casto, then Ashley Thomas was walked and Amber Keefer connected on a base hit, but Casto was called out at third for the Knight 's second out of the inning. Point, though, wasn't through as Lacey Powell stepped up to the plate and drove in Thomas and Keefer with a triple to left field • to make it a 6-0 game. Gallia Academy had an opportunity to do some serious damage early on. With no outs in the bottom of the second , Elliot led off with a si ngle and advanced to Redwomen from Page 81 fourth inning increasing the lead to 6-2 . In inning five they added one run and scored two more markers in the sixth frame to push the lead to 9-2. Doing dam age in the sixth inning was Annie Tucker who had a triple and two RBI, plating Emily Cooper and McQuirt. Amy Conn had a deep shot in the fifth that cleared the fence for her first homerun of the post season. Lotycz finished the game with stellar pitching to seal the victory for Rio. In game two the Redwomen picked up were they left· off scoring first again i11 irming one on a triple by Brandi Jone s that scored Jenny ·Oiding and Kri sta Tucker. Rio put three more runs on the board in the second to mak,e the score 5-0. his eight years with the Jaguars. .But that does n't mean he's happy. Brunell , who is 19m as a starter over the tast three seasons. was targety miserable with the former coach, Tom Coughlin. Still, because· he liked Jacksonville so much, he took less money in a contract negotiation a lew years ago to stay with the Jaguars. When Coughlin was fired and Del Rio came in , Brunell said he felt refreshed- like he was getting a new chance. Now, he might be lorJgi ng for the old days- when he didn 't really like the coach, but at least the coach never tried to run him out of town. ' He always wanted to end his career in Jacksonville, but now he's realizing it .probably won't happen . "''m worried about 2003," he said . "When that's over, we'll see what happens and what opportunities are out there." · TEAL TALES: Brunell isn't the only disgruntled Jaguar. Tight end Kyle Brady was a no-show at the mandatory minicamp.

That was all the Angels were able to produce as Point' s defense held firm. The Knights leave league play Monday as they entertain River Valley, while Gallia Academy plays hqst to Portsmouth West today. In that inning Tangy Laudermilt had a RBI single that scored Kristen Chevalier. Lauren McQuirt had an RBI single that scored Laudermilt and Olding sco red Cooper on a sacrifice fly. Rio scored again an inning later with Annie Tucker crossing home plate on a delayed double steal. In the fourth they added two more runs on a Brandi Jones .RBI single that plated Olding and Krista Tucker. Tucker s run sealed the victory in the five-inning game. McQuirt finished game two with an outstanding performance by going 2-for-3 with an RBI. She was the top performer for Rio Grande as she went 3-for-4 and had three RBI with a double , and a run scored in game one. Game two starting _pitcher Stephanie Broccolo had four strikeouts to get the win. Broccolo is now 11-5 on the season .

Lewis listening .from the back of the room, running back Corey l?tllon accepted responsibility Fnday tor the flap over his decision to skip a Cincinnati Bengals mini camp. Dillon _was the only Bengals regu. Jar who latled to show up last month for the first voluntary minicamp under Lewis, who is trying to remake the franchise's image. Dillon joined in workouts Friday at the start ot another voluntary minicamp, and apologized for what hap- pened at the other one. "I take full responsibility." Dillon said. " It was a mishap on my part. In the future, I will handle it differently. I didn't mean for it to turn into a big · situation. It was small, it was minor, but it turned into.something major." Lewis has been trying to build unity on a team that hasn't had a winning record since 1990. He minimized Dillon' s decision to skip last month's minicamp. The moody running back hadn't talked to the media since last October. He was scheduled for an interview session between practices Friday to deal with the fallout from his no-show. ~nder previous head coaches, Dillon was allowed to keep to himsel f. Lewis stood in the back of the interview room and listened as Dillon took questions for several minutes about his earlier absence. "I have to communicate a little better," Dillon said. "I was just spending time with my family, and I told them kind of late and I left them hanging a little bit. I take full responsibility for doing that." When Dillon was asked his impressions of his new cqach, Lewis laughed and said, "Maybe I should leave." Dillon said, '.'Great coach. My man . That's my guy." Following the afternoon practice, Weathersby misses Be~gals camp because of shooting Lewi s said it was good to · hav.e Dillon working out with his 'teammates. "Corey is one of our best players," Lewi s said. "His presence here is a good thing for our football team. He's got to begin to put himself in the offense again and get around hi s teammates and get moving forward . · He's a good player and a good, positive influence." Dillon's teammates thought hi s decision to skip the first minicamp would have little lasting effect. "Would you liked to have said all 63 guys were there? Yeah, you would have loved to have said that," quarterback Jon Kitna said. "But Corey's Point from Page 81 stepped to the plate later in the inning and hit an RBI single that drove in twp runs and gave BY Joe KAY ry minicamp next month.

But the current solicitor, Douglas M. Cowles, sai d the propo sed amendments are only bringing the charter in line with today' s realities . Voters in Gallipolis will decide changes in the charIer allowing for publication of summarized ordinances in the local newspaper and giving Cit'y Commission candidates the right to campaign openly. Under the current language, ordinances are pub lished in their entirety in the newspaper. Faced with increasingly tight budgets m recent . years, city officials are looking to reduce costs by publishing slimmaries of ordinances. The full ordinances will appear on the ci-ty's Internet website, or be available for viewing, ·as they are now, at the City Building and Bossard Memorial Library. Since the charter's passage and Gallipolis' switch to a city commission-city manager form of government in 1917, commission candidates are prohibited from door-to-door canvassing for votes or advertising. They are allowed to answer questions from individuals and groups, and can have up to three statements on their candidacies, each not to exceed I ,500 wotds, published in the newspaper. But for R. William Jenkins, William N. Eachus and Richard C. Roderick Jr., all former solicitors -· the individual s who inter~ pret the charter for cit~ officials - the amend~ ments pre all problematic. · "When the charter was developed, it was written by Henry Cherrington and the thought that went into it was very solid," said Eachus. who served as assistant solicitor and as solicitor from 1974 to 1984. "When you move to change it, you have to think about it very carefully." Jenkins, who was solicitor from 1962 until 197,3, sa id the provision allowing for ordinance summaries to appear in the newspaper won't work. Newspaper publication allows for the widest distribution of the information, l)e said, and people may not go out of their way to peruse full versions of ordi· nances on a computer or at the library. "Those of us who were there before as solicitors read these documents, and other lawyers we deal with depend on us to read them," Jenkins said. "If you're going to read them, you're going to want to do it in the comfort of your home and in your newspaper." He believes that abbreviated ordinances are prone to abuse if critical information, such as employee salaries that appear in the annual appropriation ordi.nance , are not included. "This is something that should not be passed," Jenkins said.
