POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. More .than 200 ~tudents took a step back ·m time Fnday at Krodel Park near Point Pleasant when they visited a 16th century encampment at Fort Randolph. Students from West Virginia and Ohio visited the fort, where reenac- _ tors displayed skills and told students about life in 'the 1700s at Fort Randolph. Candlemaking, blacksmithing, storytelling. herb gathering, loading and shooting long guns demonstrations took place throughout the fort as stu , dents toured each building. Reenactors wove tidbits of history throughout the demonstrations, teaching history, as well as pioneer skills. The students were shown the blockhouses from which the fort was defended and told how .important the stockade was that surrounded the fort: Maddie Swisher, a fifth-grade student in Mrs. Sickels' class said that she was.impressed by the small windows that the pioneers shot from. "The blockhouse had tiny windows to shoot from that protected the fort," Swisher said. . Most of the children liked the blacksmith demonstration best. Nate Allison said that he enjoyed seeing the blacksmith make things. "He made a knife from a piece of metal," Allison said in amazement. As a grand finale, the reenactors tired the cannon as students left the grounds. The reenactment will continue through ·Sunday, closing each evening at 5 p.m. Suttlers will be on hand to sell pioneer-style wares to visitors. Admtssion is $2. Children under 6 are free. --Page24 Health and Fitness 2003 Inside • Navy returns honor for Legion post, See page Al • 'Click It or Ticket', See page Al • Bill O'Reilly, See page A4 • Community Corner: Woman ·has record ' Sunday school attendance, See page A6 • More Fort Randolph scenes, See page A6 • Index - z Sections - IZ PIICU Calendar Classifieds Comics Dear Abby Editorials Movies Obituaries Sports Weather ( A3 84-S 86 86 A4 AS AS 81-3 A2 0 2003 Ohio Valley Publishin8 Co.

Two fullMartin time corrections officers and 10 part-time employees will be out of a job effective June 6 as Martin scurries to find ways to ensure what's left in his office's budget lasts for the remainder of the year. Martin said the transfer of new line items into his budget by the Gallia County commissioners and rising medical costs for prisoners are the two main reasons his office is currently strapped for casli. · · Martin's 2003 appropriated bud!;let for the operation of the shenff's office is $1.6 million, up $300,000 from last year's budget of $1.3 million.

"We barely got through 2002 and I thought this year's increased budget would relieve some. pressure. Now, it seems like we're back to square one."

A week-long enft>rcement drive to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries among teenagers kicks off Monday and runs through the Memorial Day holiday, supponed by more .than $20 million in state and national advertising. The "Click It or Ticket" cO!mpaign looks to raise awareness about the use of seatbelts and that drivers are required to wear their safety belts when on the road. The enforcement drive is supported by a major advertising campaign . "The only proven way to get significant iQcreases in belt use among young people and ultimately save lives is through .high visibility enforcement, including targeted and intense advertising to alert people to the enforcement," said Sgt. E .B. Starcher of the West Virginia State PolicePoint Pleasant Detachment.

In response to the recent mailing. of a newsletter mailed to the residents of the town, from the town council members. This newsletter w~s written in response to a a request from the Department of Natural Resources. This entity is aware of the existing probhims with these two systems. The replacement of the six inch waterline is well underway as· far as engineering, easements and bidding contracts. Hopefully, the work will be starting sometime this summer. The newsletter stated that this project should have been completed five years ago, but it is understandable that such problems exist due to the fact that these lines were laid sometime in the mid thirties, and in all probability should have been replaced several years ago. The statement concerning an estimated twenty two thousand being overflowed from both tanks is nl'lt correct. Although occasional overflows do occur, we now have a better hold on this situation as the pumps are run on a timer system, thus overflows are now at a minimum.

Ohio has spent billions of additional dollars on schools as a result of the rulings. "The DeRolph case is over," said Kim Norris, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Jim Petro. The case is named for southeast Ohio schoolboy · Nathan DeRolph. The court ruled 5-2 to "end any further litigation" in the case that was first filed in Perry County in 1991 in part because DeRolph once sat on the floor to take an American history test because his ·high school in rural Perry County lacked enough chairs. ' The court had taken itself out of the case five months ago. Friday's decision eliminates jurisdiction "by this or any other court," Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton wrote for the majority. "The duty now lies with the General Assembly to remedy an educational system that has been found ... still to be unconstitutional," she wrote. Justices Alice Robie Resnick and Francis Sweeney dissented without comment. "The big question is will the Ohio Legislature and will the governor of this state put together a funding ·system that's constitutional?" said William Phillis, executive director of the group that filed the suit, the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding. .

With his second straight Sunder 65 Friday, Singh took the second-round lead at the Byron Nelson Championship. He leads by one stroke over Tim Petrovic, who had a hole-in-one in liis round of 66. 1 Singh created a stir after his runner-up finish last week in North Carolina by saying Sorenstam had no business playing in next week's Colonial and that he hoped she missed the cut. Before the Nelson, Singh said he was sorry if his comments came across as a personal attack and tried to put a different spin on hi s words. Since then, he has focused on playing. . "I'm very focused. I came here to win the golf tournament," Singh said Friday. "It's Byron's tournament, and I am just looking forward to playing.

Duke and North Carolina, the only two ACC schools that voted not to expand several days ago at the league's meetings in Florida, voted to include !he three Big East schools in a morning conference call among the school presidents. "We were not in favor of expansion," Duke president Nan Keohane said. "But since the decision to expand has now been made, we decided that we wish to be part of frruning the outcome and to join with our. partners in the conference in making this step as positive as possible for everyone mvolved." Vrrginia and that state's legislature were pushing hard for the Hokies to be included in deal. But a proposal submitted by the Cavaliers to include instate rival Virginia Tech fell short of the necessary seven votes by ACC school presi<ients, the league announced. Clemson's James Barker, chair of the ACC Council of Presidents, said expansion is . pending based on ACC bylaws, which include visits to the three campuses and discussions with each school president. "'Over the past 18 months, our conference has been involved in an intense and thorough strategic planning evalua~ tion on the long-term direction of the ACC," Barker said. "The priorities of this evaluation have ~n academic compatibility, commitment to studentathlete welfare, long-term financial stability :)lld national athletic excellence.

It ha5 been said that use of war terms such a5 attack, battle and even war it'IC!f should be left out of sports terminology and left out of stories having to do with athletics. But, in the case of the Atlantic Coast Conference's recent dealings with Big East member Miami, those words are appropriate. The ACC's actions may not be equivalent to an actual war, but they dwell closer to that of a hostile business takeover. No, the ACC doesn 't want all. of the Big East Conference programs, just the one school that has been the league's saving grace. These next few days may go along way to determine the Big East's football future. But, instead of sitting in the foxhole, waiting for the ACC to destroy them, the Big East needs to counter attack. The Big East seems to be playing the role of the victim as -the mighty AC:C takes away their members. But, is the f\CC that much stronger?

"We had a difference of opinion. That can happen with anybody. I don' t always agree with my mom, either. We handled it like men." Bradley didn't appe·ar to do anything unusual when he flied to left field for the second out in the sixth inning in Cleveland's 7-2 victory Wednesday night.

Factory Warranty remaining 2002 Chevy Silverado Irish ponr;ler impact of an expanded ACC BY ToM COYNE Assoc1ated Press SOUTH BEND: Ind. - Notre Dame likes being an independent in football, and being a member of the Big East in just about every other sport. The comfortable arrangement may won chunge for the Fighting Irish. however. The At !antic Coast Conference on Friday invited Big East schools Miami, Syracu se and Boston Cull.ege to join. "l don't know what thi s would do to Notre Dame," said Gene Corrigan, who sen ·ed as athletic director at Notre . Dame fro m 19RI -R7 . "Noire Dame has had a great situation in the Bi g East, bci ng in with all those sc hool s and not having to put in its football . They've been able 10 retain their independence."" Athl etic director Kevin White has Cooper from Page 81 championship game would be played in nearhy Washington D.C. at RFK Stadium fo r the llrst three or four years and Maryland would serve as host. And being in the Big East media market is much more attractive then lets say C'harlotle and. Atlanta. Next, move into Charlottesville. The University of Virginia would only vote to expand if rival Virginia Tech becomcs" u new member. They didn't. Latest reports have the ACC talking with Miami, Syracuse and Boston College, with little imerest in the Hokies. Use that! Tell Virginia that the ACC has no real interest in them or their state. All the ACC ACC Holzer Clinic COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT Big East has final chance to save 'Canes declined to com ment on what might . happen , other than releasing a statement earhcr thi s week saying the sc hool is happy with its present situation. He said several conferences have approached Notre Dame in recent years to inquire whether the school was interested in joining. and Notre Dame declined. Notre Dame has the best of both worlds. It belongs to a major con ference for baskethall and its non-revenue sports, while continuing a 115 -year history of being independent in football. During that time, the Irish have won a record eight national football championships and produced seven Heisman Trophy winners. As a football independent , Notte Dame doesq't have to share its gate receipts, bowl payout s or an estimated $8 million to $9 million a year from its television contract with NBC. As a Big East member since 1995, the Irish basketball team has been to three straight NCAA tournaments , the women's basketball team won the national championship in 200 I, and last year the men's baseball team went to the College World Series for the first time in 45 years. "It's been a pretty good home for us for 23 other sports, as far as an entree to the NCAA championships.'' said John Heisler. sports information director. When Notre Dame considered ending its football independence four years ago and joining the Big Ten, students and alumni rallied against the proposal. At Iri sh basketball games fans would chant, "No Big Ten' " Some argued that by joining that conference, the school would damage its status as a national Catholic institution. really cares about is North Carolina and 'Tobacco Row'. If the Cavs join the Big East. then their rivalry with Virginia Tech would flourish and one with West Virginia would certainly take place. And rivalries are always good for business. The other ACC members never liked Virginia anyway. Then head west to Louisville and Cincinnati. Otler either, or preferably both of those programs membership . Those schools continue to improve in footbalL and their basketball teams would make the Big East second Io none. Now is when you call up Syracuse and Boston College. lnfonn them that the ACC isn 't anywhere near a good fit for them. Tmvel would be further and costs would increase during a time when colleges are having to make cuts in ·their athletic programs to save money. Imagine this football alignment ... Eastem Division - Boston College, Connecticut, Rutgers, Maryland, Virginia Tech and Virginia. . Western Division - West Virginia, Syracuse, Pittsburgh. Temple, Cincinnati and Louisville. Plus more bowl games will be interested in having Big East_teams involved. And we're looking at a three division mega basketball conference! From here, you call up the ACC and ask for their surrender, or at least a cease fire with terms that they will remain on their side of the Virginia/Nonh Carolina and never look nonh again.

"This mmes as no surprise.'' Tranghese said. ·'We are looking forward to productive meetings this weekend. I am anxious to get started .''

"I'm in regular discussions with the presidents and chancellors of the other Big East schools, and we're exploring a range of alternatives to strengthen the conference," Nordetlberg said.

While powerful elec· tric or gasoline motors with whirling metal blades or grinding razorsharp teeth make many household chores easier, they can also make them dangerous. In the United States, approximately 78,000 people make hospi· tal visits each year because -of lawn mower mishaps; an estimated 84,000 victims are treated in emer· gency rooms after power saw acci· dents and more than 90,000 inju· ries · occur with lawn and garden equipment. The safety professional at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) retommend that you follow these safety precaution·s when using lawn . and garden equipment and power saws: Never use power tools and appliances in the rain . • Have a qualified technician install ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles in all outdoor outlets. Test your GFCis monlhly. • Never carry an appliance by the cord. Always grasp the plug - not the wire. before removing a cord from a receptacle. Saws • Keep your hands and feet away from the mower's blades . Never reach under the mower while it's in operation , and make all adjust ments with the motor off. • Safe footwe~r is important, especially with · walk-behind mowers. Your shoes should provide good traction to reduce slipping and have sturdy soles to resist punctures. Never work barefoot, in sandals or in canvas shoes. • Never leave a lawn mower on while unattended. Curious children, eager to help, may get injured. LAWN MOWERS Before operating your. mower, make sure you read the owner's manual thoroughly, noting all safety and operating instructions. Learn the control~ well e~ough to stop the mach me quickly 10 an emergency.. • If you have a gasoline-fueled mower, store the gas in a safety can. Fill the mower outside, away from possible ignition sources. Before starting the mower, be sure it is on level ground and disengage all clutches. . • Always start the mower outdoors. Never operate. the mower where carbon monox1de can collect, such as 1n a closed garage, storage shed or basement. • Electrically powered lawn mowers should no! be used on wet grass. use an extension cord designed for the outdoors and rated for !he power needs of your mower. To reduce the risk of cutting the cord while you're mowing. start mowing in the area nearest the electrical outlet, then mow away fron:t the outl_e t so the power cord Will be behind you. , • Make sure all safety guards are 1n LAWN AND GARDEN TOOLS • Before using any appliance or tool read and follow the manufac· ture(s use and care instructions. • Before each use, inspect power tools and electric garden appliances d k for frayed power cords an crac ed or broken cas1~gs. If the product 1s damaged, don t use 1t or attempt to repair it y_ourself. Return the prod· uct or have a qualified repair shop examine it. • Pay attention to warning markings. Don't allow tools to get wet unless they are labeled immersible. When using tools outside, make sure they are appropriate for out· d r 00 use. • Use ?nly properly rated outdoor extens1on cords w1th outdoor elec· trical tools. Make sure power tool or garden appliance is off before plugging it in. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. • Unplug all portable electrically operated power tools when not in use. These tools cont~in ·electricity even when turned off but still plugged in. place and keep th~ mow~r's bla~es • Use and store power tools and sharp. If you do hit a fore1gn obJect . or have a mower malfunction, !Urn garden appliances away fr_o m water sources to avo1d electnc shock. Power • A blade guard is a necessity. Buy" a saw with the guard you feel most comfortable using, and keep it on at all times. Some types, such as sabre saws, cannot be de.s igned with a guard; be espe· cially careful to avoid contact with the blade. Before operating saws with guards, make sure they are in place and working properly. • Make sure the power saw is off before plugging it in. When you are finished, turn off the motor. Make sure the blade is stopped and unplugged before cleaning around the saw. • Always wait for the saw blade to stop before pulling away from a cut to avoid kickback. Kickback can occur when tHe blade jams or binds in !he wood and throws the saw toward the operator (portable power saws) or the wood toward the operator (stationary equipment). • While operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the work piece. • Make sure you use the right saw for the task. For example, don't use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs. A chain saw is the appropriate tool in this case. • A properly sharpened saw blade provides better and safer perform· ance. Sharp blades minimize stalk ing and kickback. Saw blades that are chipped, bent, or damaged should be discarded immediately. • Use clamps or a vise to hold work in place. • Keep children away from the work area and equipment at all times. • Use rubber or other non-slip mat· ting around the work area to pre· vent trips and falls. Keep the floor clean . • Don't wear watches, bracelets and long sleeves while cutting. They can get caught in the saw's moving parts.

When he was sober, he was a good husband and wonderful father to our two children. We separated 10 years before he died, and he moved out of state with his young mistress, "Eve," who did everything she could to damage my relationship with our daughter, "Beth.'.' She finally succeeded. Beth went to live with her father, and she and Eve became friends. At Beth's wedding. Eve appeared in almost every photo. taking · :ny place as the "bride's ·mother." (My son and I were not invited.) To my, husband's credit, it w~s his wish that I receive his insurance and pension when he died. When our son tragically died at age 23, Beth and I reconciled. I then remarried and after two years was widowed again -- which made me a wealthy woman. I have chosen to help Beth and her family financtally, and I know they are grateful. Eve is still on the scene II .years after my husband's passmg. and my 6-year-old grand-, son refers to her as Grandma. At times he blurts out that he has "three grandmas" -- his father's mother, Eve and me. _ I feel I should be at center Saturday, May 17, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis; Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV Dear Abby ADVICE sta~e without an "imposter" watting in the wings. Should I make this an issue or ignore it? I feel daughter is disloyal by al!owmg this to continue.FEELING BETRAYED IN NEW YORK CITY DEAR FEELING BETRAYED: I"m not sure I agree. The person who was "disloyal" was your first husband. He left you for a younger woman. When your daughter went to live with them. she was young and impressionable and Eve befriended her. It is understandable that her child thinks he has three grandmothers. He is too y_oung to understand why. I see nothing JO gain and much to lose by trying to rule via the purse strings. Please resist the temptation. One day your grandson will realize what the facts are. Be patient and take the high road. · DEAR ABBY: "Rhonda" mr and "Errol" were married last summer. At the wedding. Rhonda's 2 l/2-year-old niece, "Laurel," stole the show on the dance floor. She was cute as the dickens. Last weekend. Rhonda and Errol were in town , and little Laurel's name ca'!le up in conversation. Referring to Laurel's performance on the dance floor. I remarked how she was the star. Rhonda turned to me and said, "Excuse me. I was the star., "Oh," I .said. Then I smiled and remarked, "Well, you were upstaged." Later that day, Rhonda said, ''I was deeply hurt by your comment. You owe me an apology." Have you any thoughts on how I can avoid "deeply hurting" Rhond_a in the future? WONDERING IN WISCONSIN DEAR WONDERING: Absolutely.

AS POMEROY, Ohi.o "The sheriff has turned the county government upside down looking for money," Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank said. Seeking to avoid layoffs, Meigs County Sheriff Ralph Trusell is looking for rehef from the county commissioners. Trussell believes that there is money available from investments that could be used to keep his office open. Frank said there is no money available from investment accounts to use for additional appropriations to the sheriff's department. He said that each year, the county commissioners allocate money to the departments fupded by the county through local revenue. and public money from other entities like the state. When the county commiss"ioners appropriate a budget to each department, that money cannot be touched by the commissioners or any other department If the money in these public fund accounts is not used either because of sound fiscal management by department heads or lack of need, the treasurer's office is legally allowed to invest this remaining money in temporary interest-bearing investment accounts. At People's Bank, there are at least two interest bearing notes worth $1.5 million . At Farmers Bank, there is an interest bearing note worth more than $1 .2 million . The sheriff seeks to tap into this money supply and apply these funds to avoid layoffs in his department. The treasurer said this "commingling of funds" is illegal. "You can:t do that," Frank said. "You can't use all the other. agencies' money to send into the general fund. All the county commissioners can do is appropriate tlJe interest money that is earned." Frank said county department heads would probably not appreciate Trussell using money from their accounts to fund the sheriff's .department. Trussell disal;lrees and, by analogy, descnbed a situa.tion when a family, who is facing hard times financially, has an interest bearing savings account. Trussell said that since the family n reaII y needs the money, that it has little choice but to dip into the savings account. The sheriff said this situation is similar to county government. If the . money is being used to generate interest for the general fund, then this money could also ~ used in emergencies. "If you have money to; invest in a savings account; then you could always draw. this out," Trussell said.
