Finding steady job hard
for N~vy wife on the move
DEAR ABBY: I am a
Navy wife. My husband is
deployed to the Persian Gulf.
Since his devarture, I find
myself worrymg most of the
time, and I would like to do
something constructive. I'd
like to get a job, because
frankly, f could use the extra
income, but I don't know
where to start.
We recently moved to
Norfolk, Va., but will probably have to relocate again
· when my husband ·returns to
the States, so I can't commit
to a long-term position. Since
you do such a wonderful job
assisting families with all
kinds of issues, have ypu any
suggestions for me?
Thank you in advance. ELIZABETH
GUIDRY,
NORFOLK, VA.
DEAR ELIZABETH: I
admire your "take action"
approach to copin~ with the
stress and sevarat1on, and I
agree that a JOb would be a
terrific outlet. I consulted. a
friend at the Department of
the Navy, _who suggests that
you look into a program
called
Adecco
Career
Accelerator. It's a partnership
between the Department of
the Navy and a worldwide
staffing · company called
Adecco,
specifically
designed for military spouses
-active and reserve- who

ADVICE
have difficulty finding work
because of frequent relocations.
Adecco recruiters provide
military spouses with career
counseling: training and job
placement- at no cost to the
military or the spouses. The
company then places people
in a wide range of positions,
from administrative to technical, financiaJ and light
industrial, which provides a
variety. of options. Another
advantage of this program is
that vacation and other benefits transfer with you when
you move. The program isn't
hard to find. It operates on or
near almost every Navy and
Marine Corps base in the
country.
Military spouses are a vatuable untapped reservoir of
talent and resources. We
should · all recognize the
important contributions of
military spouses not only in
the lives of their families, but

also to our nation. I salute
each and every one of you,
and support your efforts.

DEAR
ABBY:
"Humiliated in the Rocky
Mountains" said she had
found evidence on their computer that her husband was
cheating. She did not mention what the "eviqence"
was, but if it's e-mails, she
should be very cautious
about accusing her husband
because things aren't .always
as they seem.
I set up an e-mail address
for my dog, Chester. I give
out his address whenever a
Web site requires an e-mail
address and I do not wish to
receive e-mails from them.
Just last night, Chester
received an e-mail from
"Ginger." The subject was,
''Than~s for t~e g~~at time
last mght, Tiger! While
Chester is a fun-loving dog,
he is not THAT friendly. I
had him "fixed" when he W'!S
a year old.
It turned out to be an unsolicited e-mail (.''spam")
advertising a pornographic
Web site. Had I received that
e- mail and my wife had seen
it, goodness knows what
she'd think.~ KEEPING A

Supreme Court rejects
req.uest to block school cuts
8Y ANDREW WEUH-HUGGtNS
Associated.Press .
COLUMBUS - The Ohio
Supreme Court sided with
Gov. Bob Taft over parents
and teachers who were trying ·
to prevent $100 . million in
school-fundin!l cuts.
In a 4-2 ruhng Wednesday,
the court turned down a
request
by the Ohio
Education Association to
block the cuts that Taft
ordered to balance a March
budget deficit.
The
130,000-member
teachers union went to court
on behalf of five parents
from Girard, Warren and
Columbus; who also are
educators in Ohio ·s public
schools.
The teachers had asked
the court to restore state
funding for schools to levels
before the reductions. They
said the reductions exacerbated what has already been
found to be an inadequately
funded system.
The eourt ruled without
explanation.
Justice
Deborah Cook, whose nomination to the 6th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals
was approved by the U.S.

Senate on Monday, did not
participate.
The decision "underscores
the governor's ability to take
very tough action to balance
the budget," Taft spokesman
Orest Holubec said.
OEA President Gary Allen
tailed the deci sion "another
setback for public school
funding."
The union sued in March
after Taft ordered cuts in
funding to primary and secondary schools to balance the
state budget.
Taft said the reductions
were necessary after the

Legislature rejected his proposal to close a $720 million
deficit by raising ta.xes on
cigarettes and alcohoL
Lawmakers said Taft could

further to fill the deficit

From Staff Reports
POMEROY - Volunteer
water quality monitoring,
fish sampling, educational
demonstrations and tours
were among the activities
planned by the Leading
Creek Watershed Committee
. for the remainder of the year.
' The group met May I at
6:30 p.m. at the Ohio State
University Extension Office
in Pomeroy. Watershed
meetings are generally held
the first Thursday of the
month at 6:30 p.m. at the
OSU Extension Office.
in
Anyone
interested
improving the water quality
of streams in the Leading
Creek watershed is welcome'
to attend. Members usually
take a covered dish, baked
item or dessert.
Members planned a slate
of activities beginning wi.th a
volunteer water sampling
demonstration and workshop
on June 5. Members will
meet at the extension office
before heading out to two
sampling locations on nearby Thomas Fork Creek.
The purpose of the water
sampling demonstration is to
show people how water testing is done, how testing is
used to identify problem
areas. and how water quality
can differ in two similarappearing localions, said
Cynthia Bauers, Leading
Creek watershed coordinator.

. "This is going to be a very
hands-on demonstration, and
people"are encouraged to get
their feet wet," Bauers said.
Bauers, whose position is
funded through a grant from
the Ohio· Department of
Natural Resources and Ohio
Environmental Protection
Agency, will be directing
water sampling throughout
the Leading Creek watershed in order to produce a
watershed management plan
and an acid mine drainage
abatement plan.
On Saturday. June 28, the
OSU Extension will demonstrate fish sampling techniques using an electroshocker that forces fish to
the surface where they can
be counted and released,
stunned but not permanently
harmed.
The fish shocking demonstration will take place near
Rutland at a location where
the OEPA has determined
that many fish live in
Leading Creek, Bauers said.
The exact time and location
will be announced later, she
added.
·
At the July 9 meeting, a
speaker from the OEPA will
be invited to discuss the
agency's findings concerning the stream's fish population.
"In recent years, the
OEPA has found several sensitive fish species in Leading
Creek that only live in fairly

unpolluted 'waler. For e~ am­
ple, in the last two summers
fish biologists have found
bass, red · horse, da~e. and
darters," Bauers said.
On August 7, lhe Leading
Creek group will host a
speaker from the Monday
Creek or ·sunday Creek
watershed groups. and then
produce a di sp lay. for the
Meigs Cou nty Fair. In
October, a tour of the
Leading Creek watershed
will be held including stops
at historical sit es in the
watershed.
Meanwhile, group members will advocate the reclamation of abandoned surface.

Sen·iors' lives no
lon_ger worth less
BALTIMORE (AP) The
Environmental
Protection Agency will stop
valuing senior citizens' Jives
below those of younger people when calculating the
costs of its regulations, the
agency 's chief said.
EPA
Administrator
Christie Whitman said the
policy came from the White
House
Office
of
Management and Budget,
and was never reviewed by
her agency.
Derided by critics as a
"senior death discount," the
formula estimated the worth
of someone over 70 at 37
percent less than a ,younger
person $2.3 million
instead of $3.7 million.

MONEY magazine called the Trail courses
"stunningly bea·utiful and

w~ll

maintained."

"For courses of this quality,
the golf is strikingly inexpensive."
Get the November MONEY magazine and read
about the Trail or visit www.cnnmoney.com.

The age, adjusted analysis
was used to explain the benefits of the Bush administration's Clear Skies pollutionreduction legislation to
Congress.
Whitman announced the
change
unexpectedly
Wednesday to a group gathered at the University of
Maryland School of Nursing
for the agency's sixth and
final "listening session" for
older Americans nationwide.
"That particular form of
analysis has been discontinued," she said. "The bottom
line is that the EPA will not
use an a~-adjusted analysis
on any regulations that it
promulgates."

Middleport
Springer
reviewing mobile
home regulations
from Page A1

BY BRIAN J. REED
Staff writer
MIDDLEPORT
Middleport
Planning
Commission has begun a
review of ordinances relating
to manufactured and mobile
homes and may propose
changes to current village
law in an attempt to preserve
and increase property tax values.
According
to
Myron
Duffield , president of the
planning commission, 189
factory- m&lt;jnufactured homes
are now located in the vii!age. But 25 percent of those
homes, 48 total , ·are now
found in zoning · region s
where they are not permitted.
Current village ordinances
allow mobile and manufactured homes only in the "R3"
zoning area, whtch makes up
much of the residential area
from Mill Street to Hob ~on .
" It is unknown how many
mobile · homes· do not meet
existing ordinance requirements," Duffield said.
Duffield said the village's
efforts to "beef up" the ordinances relating to mobile
homes serves several purposes, primarily to improve
overall property values in the
village, to increase revenue
from property taxes, to

reduce further decline in
Eroperty tax revenue to the
general fund , and to encourage construction of "conventional homes."
"Mobi le homes normally
depreciate to a .tax level of
$36 per year or less, according to the county auditor. and
mobi.le homes of any value
and .located anywhere in the
village receive the same services' and advantages as other
ffi
properties," Du teld said.
"The purpose of the review
is not to put a hardship on
anyone, especially those on
fixed incomes, and is not to
force anyone out of town or
degrade anyone who lives in
factory-manufactured
homes," Duffield said'.
The planning commission ,
meeting Wednesday evening,
began a review of ordinances
from surrounding communities as they relate to the
placement of mobile and
manufactured homes in those
villages .
In addition to the ordinan~e
1n
Middleport regulating
placement of mobile homes
in the village, the village also
regulates the set-up of those
homes, requiring underpin· ning and tongue and wheel
removal and other requirements addressing safety and
aesthetic concerns.

revised rate for February.
The national rate also
remained steady at 5.8 percent.
The 6.1 percent mark, the
highest in nine years, was
last reported in March 1994,
ODJFS reported.
The recession, terrorist
attacks, a harsh winter and
the war in Iraq all have contributed, said Keith Ewald,
chief of the Ohio Bureau of
Labor Market Information.
"All tend to dampen business and consumer confidence and usually lead to
less spending," he said.
The rate also tends to
peak at this time of year
because of seasonal factors
and business cycles.
The rate for February had
been 6 percent but was
changed based on more current data, the department
said.
The number of unemployed workers in Ohio wa s
361,000 in March , up from
359,000. The number of
unemployed increased by
21 ,000 over the year from
340,000. The unemployment ,rate in March 2002
was 5.8 percent.
. Morgan County had the
state's highest unemployment rate in March at 18.2.
Delaware County had the
lowest at 3:9.

POMEROY
Area
unemployment rates for
March were mostly down,
but not significant!!, the
Ohio Department o ·Jobs
and Family Services found
when it released county-bycounty figures for the
month.
State officials pointed out
that traditionally, jobless
rates peak in Ohio during
March.
·
'
Gallia County saw its jobless rate at 7.8 percent in
March, down four-tenths of
a percent from February's
8.2. Meigs County 's rate,
which shot to 16. 1 percent
in February, dropped 1.1
percent in March to 15 percent.
~
Rates were down in three
other neighboring counties.
Athens was at 5.4 percent in
March, a drop of four-tenths
of a percent from February:
Lawrence was at 6.1, a
decline of three-tenths of a
percent; and Vinton, normally with one of the high'est rates in the state, was at
15.7, down one-tenth of a
percent from the previous
month.
Jackson County the only
area county to see an
increase in its joblessness
during March at I 0.5 , up
four-tenths of a percent
from February 's I 0. 1.

Voyage
from Page A1
take out available on this isolated rocky piece of earth
carved out of the ocean.
There were no lush rain
forests, merely a few palm
trees and shruhs clinging to
life on limestone floors.
Food was made by hand.
Onty the easie st prepared of
meals were served and
shared by the group. Pasta.
humu s. peanut butter and
jelly and vegetable soup were
the fare of choice. Survival
depended on working together.
Each person had only one
bowl, spoon and cup. Dishes
were not done in a sink. but
by each person licking out his
or her own bowl. spoon and
cup. When the dishes were
spotless, dry sand cleansed
and scoured any lingering
doubts before the salt water
did the rinsing.
Hikes along the sandy
shores
were
common.
Haynes said she learned how
to kayak in the still waters of
the ocean. While Ohio was
being pelted with rain and
lackluster spring weather,'the
Bahamas had temperatures in
the 80s or 90s. Before she
left, Haynes was able to
kayak more than I 0 miles at
once.
While the scenery around
Haynes held paradise, she
was required to search within. By this point she hadn't
had a shower in days and
going to the bathroom was no
picnic either.

No one quite imagines marching U.S. troops into the

Tall fescue is one of the
most important grass species
in the U.S. and is grown on an
l!stimated 35 million acres
throughout the country. It is a
cool season perennial grass
adapted to a wide range of
soil and climatic conditions,
being toleranr of foor
drainage, yet is one o the
more drought resistant grasses. Tall fescue will persist on
low pH, low fertility soils,
however, respo nds with
greater production when
bmed, fertilized and managed. It is tolerant of continuous close grazing and makes
more growth at low temperatures than other cool season
·grasses. The suggested use
has been to extend the grazing
season into early spring and
late fall-early winter in a pasture
program.
Summer
growth may be accumulated
(stockpiled) for winter grazing on these areas. a procedure of primary interest and
use among beef cow-calf pro"
ducers . Tall fescue is a sod
forming grass which · can
withstand much traffic and
animal tramping.
Determinations of iorage
quality such as crude protein,
fibf!r. soluble carbonhydrates,
dry matter digestibility and
minerals indicate tall fescue is
of high quality and should
result in good animal perforinance. However, livestock
producers frequently observe
disorders in animals consuming tall fescue. This grass
often has been criticized for
causing poor animal performance and other livestock
health problems. Fescue taxi·
cosis IS the term used to
describe these adverse symptoms with animals. A toxm
within the plant was often
suspected as its cause.
Animal symptoms associated with fescue toxicosis
include reduced rate of grain
or loss of weight, reduced
milk production (agalactia),
rough hair coat, low feed
intake, panting, high rectal
temperatures, and excessive
salivation. Agalactia has usually been most associated
with mares and therefore is of
primary importance to horse

producers and owners.
Research in the mid-1970's
discovered an endophytic
fungus that can grow within
tall fescue. An endophyte is a
plant which ~rows within
anmher plant, m this case a
fungus growing within the
fescue plant. This fungus,
acremonium coenophialum,
has been shown to be associated with the occurrence of
alkaloids in this species.
These alkaloids are toxins
that relate to -summer slump
syndrome .and fescue toxicosis. Research has shown that
cattle birth weights and weaning weights can be increased
and beef gains nearly doubled
on endophyte-free tall fescue.
The endophytic fungus
grows between the plant cells,
overwintering in the lower
perennial plant parts. In the
spring fungal growth closely
parallels tiller growth advancing to the flower and seed
head, where infested seed is
produced. The primary
method of transmitting the
fungus is through infected
seed.
It is speculated that the
first tall fescue established in
the U.S was by sowing infected seed from Europe. The
highly popular Kentucky 31
variety has been shown to be
infected. A survey of 200 fescue fields in Kentucky has
shown that 97 percent were
infected. Recent analysis of
Ohio tall fescue samples averaged 56 percent infected
plants with levels of infection
ranging from 0 to l 00 per·
cent. It appears fields planted
with infected seed produce
infested plants related to the
percentage of seed containing
viable fungus. Field to field
and plant to plant movement
of the endophyte is very negligible. This is limited to
instances where live seed is
physically dispersed to another area or contained in voided
manure and results in new
plants developing.
What can be done to estab!ish fescue? ·
1. A major effort should be
made to incorporate legumes
into the fescue, the
more
the better. Even small
amounts of legumes increase
livestock gains and conception rates even with infected
fescue stands.

2. Maximize the use offescue pastures during the' cooler
periods of the year, early
spring, fall and early winter.
3. During the summer
months avoid gnu;ing fescue
as much as possible. When it
is necessary to graze in summer, only 'graze for short periods of seven to ten days and
then move livestock to other
non-fescue pastures.
4. Never permit livestock
to graze fescue seed heads .
Harvest fescue for hay prior
to heading. Remember the
fungus tends to concentrate
near the seed head and on the
seed.
5. The diet of the animals
should be supplemented with
pasture and hay of other
species so that tall fescue is
not the primary forage of the
animals during the entire
year.
· 6. Infected fields may need
to be destroyed and reseeded
with endophyte-free fesctie
seed or with other grass
species. Destruction and
reseeding is especially important with dairy cattle smce
infection levels . even below
10 percent can cause severe
milk production losses.
Treatment of plants with
systemic fungicides has not
been successful with the
materials tested to date.
Research is continuing in a
number of states on both
foliar and seed treatment.
Seed which is produced
from endophyte free plants is
fungus free . Advancements
have been made in breeding
and selection of fun$US free
plants. Several varieties have
been tested and labeled for
endophyte content. They are
sold as endophyte-free or
low-endophyte
varieties.
Varieties available include
A.U. Triumph, Cajun, EndoFree, . Fawn,
Forager.
Johnstone, Kenhy, Martin,
Mozark, Phyter and Safe.
It is interesting to note the
endophyte declines with time
in stored seed at a rate faster
than normal decrease in tall
fescue seed germination.
Research indicates seed starage for 18 to 24 months will
almost eliminate viable endo- ·
phyte in the seed.

Arkansas considers adding ag departmentLITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -When farmer
Joe Bryant needs advice on his soybean crop,
he goes to the state Plant Board. But if rice is
on his mind, he must go somewhere else.
Almost every aspect of farming in
Arkansas is regulated by a different state
board or commission - more than a dozen
total. That's because Arkansas lacks something taken for granted in othentates: a state
agriculture department to oversee it all.
Arkansas and Rhode Island are the only
states without an agriculture department.
Efforts to create one here collapsed this month
as the Legislature adjourned with two bil)s still
pending to establish such a department.
Bryant, of Allport, told state senators that a
department would help farmers with everything from basic information to regulation

'1 feel like we just have a kx of people oot thre nying 10 do mown things," he said "We don'thave &lt;11)1
CO! body that's sreaking foc agrirulture in~"
One of the bills that died in the Legislature
was Gov. Mike Huckabee's government reorganization plan, which included a provision to
create an agriculture department. Huckabee
says he might push for the reorganization in a
ballot issue for voters to decide in 2004.
The Arkansas Farm Bureau, which lobbies
and provides economic backing to farmers,
is opposed to an agriculture department.
Bureau lobbyist Rodney Baker says the
group fears a centralized department would
just create a more costly bureaucracy that's
less responsive than the current system.

Tribes, environmentalists battle farmer-backed water bills
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP)Indian tribes .and envirqnmental groups have banded
together to oppose water law
changes they contend would
favor cities and farm s over
salmon and water 4uality.
The bill s - backed by
farmers, city officials, Gov.
Gary
Locke and the
Department of Ecology died Monday at the end of
the Legislature's regular session, but are on the agenda
for the special session set to
begin May 12.
"They're not good for the
saltnon, they're not good for
the tribes," said Billy Frank,
chairman of the Northwest
Indian
Fisheries
Commission. "They're not
good for in-stream flows,
they're not good for any-

body."
Indian tribes can be major
players in water law because
their water and fishing rights
stem from treaties. Frank
raised the prospect of a lawsuit, which could lead to a
sweeping court decision like
the landmark ruling that
awarded half of the state's
fish to tribes in the 1970s.
"We don't want to go back
to suing the _state of
Wa$hington," Frank said.
The two most hotly Contested measures include a
Senate proposal to prevent
the state from using water
quality as a reason to restrict
the use of a water right, and a
House bill protecting municipal water rights to allow for
growth.

The Senate hill is a big priority for the state's fa~mers
and other big water users,
who want to quash the notion
that simply taking water out
of a stream - and thereby
raising water temperatures
downstream - amounts to
pollution.
"This is a critical bill, not
only for agriculture, but also
for all water users," said
Dean Boyer, a spokesman for
the
Washington
Farm
Bureau. The farm lobbying
group figures the change
could affect water rights on
300 rivers, streams and lakes
around the state.
For tribal fishing interests
and environmentalists, the
bill raises the prospects of
farmers and other waterrights holders siphoning off

too much water.
"You cann.ot dry up a
stream and expect to have
fish living in that stream,"
said Jay Manning, president
of
the
Washington
Environmental Council.
The
Department
of
Ecology supports the bill
because it would also
increase their authority to,
levy fines for wasting water
from $100 per day to $5,000
per day.
"There's no doubt in the
real world that the amount of
water in the river does affect
the quality of the water in the
river," said Keith Phillips, a
water policy expert with the
"But
just
department.
because someone is using
water doesn't mean that
they're causing pollution."

Yesteryear echoes ·
for local students ·
BY J. MILES lAYTON

Staff writer
RUTLAND - Fifth grade
students from all over the
Meigs County got to learn
some of the everyday skills
of a generation of so ago that
are only memories today.
Over the past several
weeks, volunteers from the
Meigs County Senior Center
fif h
taught 273 t t grade students how to make candles,
do leather and metal crafts,
and hone their kitchen skills
in sessions . at . the Bradbury
Church of Christ.
Students attended workshops, usually early in the
morning, and split off into
small groups each led by two
senior citizens. While the
students learned about the
skills that allowed people of
yesterye.ar to survt ve, they
mteracted with the senior citizens and learned about their
heritage.
Diana Coates, director of
the Meigs County Retired
Senior Volunteer Program,
coordinated the Yesteryear
program.
She said that aside from
learning how to make crafts
like candles, the students had
an opportunity to interact
with senior citizens.
"A lot of time these days,
grandparents live else-

where," Coates said. "These
students got to "see older people in a different light as
active people · doing something."
Coates explained that
many young people have
misconceptions about how
active older people are. She
said that by working side by
"d · h
·
··
st e wlt semor cltlzens. students perceptions of young
people change.
"What I think they enioy
'
most of all is learning something new and getting one on
one with an older person,"
Coates said. "This is a really
. good experience for kids and
volunteers."
When the students were
done learning their crafts,
they are required to write an
essay about the program.
These essays will be collected by teachers and two noted
writers from each class will
be selected to compete
against other students who
attended Yesteryear. One
overall winner will be selected from this group.
The Yesteryear program
started more than 19 years
ago. Coates said she would
like
to
thank
the
Chester/Shade
Historical ·
Association and the United
Fund of Meigs County for
their financial contributions
to the program.

Subdued, yet satisfied . .
The Reds didn 't need any

"Sometimes you might get a

Eastern Eagles rolled to a ISO mercy-rule win over the

night to claim the Southeast
Sectional lower bracket
championship. Eastern is
now 16-2 overall and will

The Eastern bats packed
some punch and packed what
was reported as the 16th sectional championship win for
veteran coach Pam Douthitt.
The eighth-ranked Eagles
came to life after a scoreless
first inning.
Miller had
threatened with two singles
in the first inning, when the
Eastern infield played in
because of the slow, damp

infield.
Millerfs Ashley · Hinkle
and Leslie Altier blooped it
between the infield and outfield for the only two Eastern
hits of the night.
In the second inning
Miller threatened with a twoout walk to Kelly Brown, but
did not score. Eastern then
erupted. Kass Lodwick led
off with a double, then after
two errors to load the bases,
Morgan Weber and Sara
Barringer each had two-run

doubles, Jenny Armes had a
sacrifice, and Casey Smith
and Alyssa Holter each had
RBI singles, the score 6-0.
That was all Eastern needed, but four straight doubles
by Holer, Krista White.
Lodwick, and Sandy Powell
each doubled to spark a fourrun fifth inning . Eastern fol lowed that up with a five-run
sixth to push the score to !50 and the win.
Eastern
hitters were
Lodwick
two doubles,

Powell a single and double.
Weber a single and double,
Barringer a single and double. Holter a single and double , and singles by Smith, a
double by White , and single
by Katie Robertson.
Katie Robertson was the
winning pitcher of record
with six strikeouts, and four
walks in hurling the two-hit
shut-out. Altier suffered the
loss with no strikeouts, and
two walks.

Sanderson, Vyborny sign with Jackets
COLUMBUS (AP) - The Columbus
Blue Jackets signed two of their top three
scorers last season to contracts on
Wednesday.
.
Forward Geoff Sanderson signed a
three-year deal while forward David
Vybomy agreed to terms for next season.
The team declined to disclose terms of the
contracts.
. Sanderson, 31 , had 34 goals and 33
assists for 67 points in 82 games last season, hitting the 30-goal mark for the sixth
time in his NHL career and second in three
Seasons as a Blue Jacket. He rebounded
from an injury-plagued season to post his
best year since 1996-97 when he totaled
36 goals and 67 points for Hartford.
Sanderson led Columbus and ranked 18th
in the NHL with a club~record 34 goals

and set club marks for power play goals
(15, tied for sixth in the league) and shots
on goal (286, 8th best in the NHL).
Sanderson's agent, Steve Bartlett, a1 so
declined to discuss specitics of his contract. .He said unlike the contract the left
wing played under last season, the new
pact .included some incentives.
"I think he's delighted to be a member
of the team for a long time to come,"
Bartlett said. "He looks forward to being a
part of the team's future success."
The left wing scored a club-record and
career-hi~h four goals, including a natural hat tnck in the second period. and
added an assist to tie the Blue Jackets
mark for points with five at Calgary on
March 29. He also scored a goal in a clubrecord seven consecutive from Nov. 5-17,

matching Colorado's Milan Hejduk for
the longest goal streak in the NHL last
season.
Sanderson has totaled 300 goals and
276 points in his 13 NHL seasons with
Hartford/Carolina, Vancouver, Buffalo
and Columbus.
Vybomy, 27, is coming off his best season in the NHL as he collected career
highs in goals, assists and points with 2026-46 in 79 games. The right wing also
set a franchise record with a + 12
plus/minus rating.
Vyborny, currently representing his
native Czech Republic at the World
Championships, has spent all three of hi s
NHL seasons with the Blue Jackets after
signing as a free agent before the 2000
season.

IQC urges new Iraqi Olympic committee
LONDON (AP) - The
IOC wants a new Olympic
committee in Iraq with no
links to the group that was
accused of torturing and jailing athletes during Saddam
Hussein's rule.
The IOC's ethics commission urged the move
Wednesday after investigating accusations against ·the
Iraqi committee once led by
Saddam's older son, Odai.
The committee's Baghdad
headquarters largely we(e
destroyed in U.S.-led bomb-

ing raids early in the Iraq
war. There have been no
confirmed sightings of
Saddam or Odai since the
collapse of the regime.
The panel made three recommendations formal
dissolution of the Iraqi committee, creation of a !lew
Olympic committee and provisions to ensure no one
involved in the abuses be .
part of the new group.
IOC president Jacques
Rogge said the proposals
will be submitted to the

Reds

opener, with a ninth-inning
homer, and Barry Larkin
won the second game with
another ninth-inning homer.
Just like that, the Cardinals
were in a rut.
And just like that, ·they
were out of first place in the
NL Central, displaced by
the Cubs.
"This is not going to last
forever," S.imontacchi said.
"We know that. We're not
going to stay in this rut."
A closer would be a big
help.
With
Jason
Isringhausen still recovering from offseason shoulder
surgery, the Cardinals are at
risk in close games - 2-9
in one-run games, 4-4 in
two-run decisions.
The Reds need their
starters to continue pitching
as well as they have during
the series, which finishes
Thursday. Their starters
have given up only five
earned runs in 17 1-3
innings, a major improvement for the only rotation in
the NL with more walks
than strikeouts.
"We're getting better,"
Boone said. "Our pitching's
been great. That's what can
happen when you get good
starting pitching.".

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Jerry Nadeatt's accident at
Richmond
International
Raceway was the most. violent wreck NASCAR has
seen since installing black
box -style data recorders in
cars two years ago ..
The crash far surpassed
the 80 times the force of
gravity reading NASCAR
got after Kyle Petty's wreck
at Bristol Motor Speedway
in March, which was the
hardest hit the sanctioning
body had previous!}~ seen.
As Nadeau remains hos pitalized with serious head,
rib and lung injuries,
NASCAR 's safety debate
has reopened after a relatively quiet period following vast improvements
since the 200 I death of
Dale Ear.nhardt.
"There is no question
we've ·made tremendous
improvements over the past
two years ," driver Jeff
Burton said. "But it's uiue alistic to think that in a
dangerous sport, things are
immediately better. When a
wreck like Jerry's happens,
people in our society tend
to be impatient and .they
think the answers should be
there tomorrow.
"In most cases it doesn't
happen like that. There is
no gadget to make our sport
I 00 percent safe."
Since Earnhardt's death
- which capped a span of
four fatalities in less than
two years- NASCAR has
taken an aggressive safety
approach.
The data recorders are in
cars, head and neck
restraints are mandatory,
and medical liaisons are on
NASCAR's staff.
But there's still no fullproof way to avoid injury,
especially on hits like
Nadeau's.
Gary Nelson, NASCAR's
competition director, said
the angle in which Nadeau
hit the wall contributed to
the violence.
"It was a very flat hit on
the driver side, which is
pretty unusual," Nelson
said , "It was an almost perfectly flat hit, so there was
a tremendous energy spike
because he didn 't have a
bumper or something else
hit first.
"This one had no initial
impact that would have
softened the hit."
There are a few solutions
that could help, including
installing the Steel and
Foam Energy Reduction
(SAFER)
barrier
at
Richmond.
So far the soft wall is
only used at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway and ·on the
inside wall at Talladega
Superspeedway . .
But NASCAR has found
that the shorter tracks are
just as dangerous and need
the wall. Adam Petty and
Kenny Irwin were both
killed in wrecks at New
Hampshire International
Speedway, and Kyle Petty
had the hard hit at Bristol.

go:.~~L

NASCAR driver Jerry Nadeau, of Danbury Conn.,is pulled out of the roof of his car on a back·
board alter a crash during practice for the Pontiac 400 at Richmond International Raceway in
Richmond, Va., Friday. Nadeau was taken to a local hospital t&gt;y helicopter. (AP
Nadeau. was the latest dri ver to get hurt
at
Richmond: Johnny Benson
broke ribs there last year,
Derrick Cope broke his leg ,
and the hit that initially
injured Sterling Marlin's
neck and sidelined him for
the season was also, at RIR.
NASCAR wants the soft
walls installed at New
Hampshire and Richmond
by this ·fall ; and tested the
SAFER barrier Tue sday at
the
University
of
Nebraska's
Midwest
Roadside Safety Facility.
Dr. Dean Sicking , who
runs the Nebraska facility,
will need up to 30 days tu
go over the data and determine if the walls are ready
for the short tracks.
The drivers are content to
wait rather than install
something before it is
ready.
"I've seen video of what
happens with a soft wall
before it's ready," Burton
said, "It's not pretty. I want
soft walls, but definitely
not untillhey ' re ready."
NASCAR spokesman Jim
Hunter said Sicking won 't
sign off on the walls until
they are ready.
"He's getting a lot of
pressure from us and the
IRL and everybody in the
sport to move quicker,"

Hunter said. "But he says in
scientific projects you
don't want to move faster
because you might overlook something."
Although
cockpit
improvements have been a
priority, there's little room
left to .add any energy
absorption material in the
driver's door. Through
adjustments in the transmission, it's possible to
eventually shift the driver
over to the center of the car.
"The cockpit has been the
issue the last couple of
years and we have come
leaps and bounds from
where we were," said Mike
Ford, crew chief for Bill
Elliott. "Not to say there
isn't more work to be done
there - there are already
several is sues that have
come about.
"Seats have improved, leg
support .ha s been improved,
but nothing has been done .
to the chassi s."
NASCAR
is
testing
crushable metals, such as
aluminum foam , which
could help absorb some of
the shock of a crash. But
until there's more room in
the cockpit, Burton doesn 't
think · much more can be
squeezed inside.
And NASCAR 's efforts to
build a bigger "greenhouse"

have been put on hold
because cars with the larger
cockpits were unstable during a test last August.
Still, the sanctioning body
has almost unan.imous support in the garage for the
progress it is making .
"It's easy for us to sit on
the outside and say what
they should do and how
they should do it," car
owner Chip Ganassi said.
"Each time I sit down with
them and broach that subject, I'm comfortable that
they're wo_rking very fast
and very hard ."

She noted that the tuberculosis clinic, funded by a tax levy,
held four chest X-ray clinics last
year and obtained and interpreted 94 chesl X-rays for residents .
A total of 2,860 tuberculin

2002 by Cotterill, and she held
45 TB skin-testing clinics
