Once the adoption is tinalized, the law treats the relationship as if the child were the stepparent's biological child. Q. Why formalize a stepparent relationship? A.: A stepparent may wish to affirm the informal bond that already exists within the family. Other reasons may include the desire to: I) change the child's name to that of the stepparent and biological parent for school and other purposes; 2) make the child eligibl e for government entitlement programs (e.g., social se~uri­ ty. workers' compensat ion) under the slepparent's account: 3) make the child eli gible for private and work-related benefits (e.g .. health insurance) based upon the new parent-c~ild re lationship: 4) allow the child to inherit from and through the stepparent, and allow the child to recover damages (through the court) in the event of the steppare nt's wrongful death: 5) allow the family to terminate a negative relationship with. the absent biological parent; and 6) allow the stepparent equal parental ri ght s w1th the biological parent. (For example, in the event of a future divorce, the child would have the right to child support from and visitation with the former ste pparent. In the event of a divorce followed by the biological parent's death, the child would remain with the former stepparent in preference to biological relati ves.) Q, Where and how are stepparent adoptions initiated'! A. Adoption proceedings generally occur in the county where the child li v.es or was born, or in the county where the parent or stepparent l,ives. The probate cou·rt has jurisdiction over adoptions. To initiate a stepparent adoption, the prospective adoptive parent must file an adoption petition and pay court costs. The child's original birth certificate is included in this filing. The court may choose to appoint an "asse ssor" to investigate and determine whether the adoption is in the child's best interest. Notice ' of the adoption must be given to the appropriate persons, including the biological parent whose relation ship is being terminated by the adoption. This is general ly the biological parent not residing with the chi ld and the stepparent.

Moderately Confused 2003 I took a little poll the other day in Presidem Bush's home territory of West Texas, and the result shows why he needed to mount a concerted drive to win public support for hi s Iraq policy. OK, it wasn't a scientific sample. Participating in a panel discussion on the 2004 election at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa, 25 miles from Bush's hometown of Midland, I asked for a show of hands on whether those in the audience believe the Iraq war was 'worth it.' The resu lt, in an audience of 800 or so. was 50-50. Undoubtedly the sample was skewed by the presence of former Green Party presidential cand idate Ralph Nader .and California populist Arianna Hultington on the panel. Nader received 900 votes in Midland and Ector counties in 2000. Still , this was Bush countrv, and the audience held more ordinary townspeople than students and faculty. The result told me that, even among Bush's neighbors and friends, there is deep misgiving about the war's atiermath undoubtedly the result, at least in part, of the administration's failure to get out good news to counter the bad constantly carried in the media. What the media have reported on - bombings, assassinations and riots in Iraq, as well as intrd-admi nistmtion intrigue and Democratic Bush-bashing - is all legitimate news. But so is the progress- the arming and training of the 70,000-person Iraqi security forces, restoration of pre-war electricity and oil output, and creation of 88 neighborhood Morton Kondracke councils in Baghdad and a 37member city council. Until the past few weeks, the administration had done a miserable job of gening out the word about the progress leading to more polls showing that the public doubts Bush has a coherent plan for Iraq. It was not until Wednesday, as Congress was already voting on President Bush's $87 billion supplemental funding bill for Iraq, that the administration sent members a report on Iraq administrator Paul Bremer's strategy for reconstruction and democratization. To find out what progress the administration had to report, tm ordinary citizen would have to log onto the White House Web site, lind its Office of Global Communications (OGC) and then search out a page called 'The Global Messenger.· I care, write and talk a lot about Iraq policy and even I didn't know it was there. You can find it at www.whitehouse.gov/ogc. So, it should be no surprise that the Washington Post/ ABC News poll last week found that, by 54 percent to 41 percent, voters think Bush lacks 'a clear plan for handling the siluation in Iraq .'

Bus safety reminder SYRACUSE - "Stay back from the yellow and black" is the message of National School Bus Safety Week. which wi ll continue through Saturday. Motorists are reminded that when a s.:hool bus begins to stop, it will flash its ye llow lights. When it stops, it llashes the two red lights in its upper corners, front ancl back, and a stop sign swings out on the Side of the bus. Vehicles approaching and behind the bus must stop at least 10 feet from the bus while the red lights are turned on. and cannot proceed until they are turned otT. Drivers should never. pull around or pass a bus when its _lights are flashing . This is both dangerous and against the law when the red lights are tlashing, and just pl ain dangerous when flashin g ye llow.

Pullins, Sheets and Harrison are all Republicans. Several others have picked Trip from Page A1 She is a middle-class, attractive college student She has had boyfriend troubles, as you might imagine of a girl who has reached the age of 19. She apparently has had significant emotional swings. And she has made poor decisions, the worst of which, it seems, was going to a famous basketball player's hotel room in the middle of the night after finishing her shift at the front desk. Neither of their lives will be the same, no matter what happens in the coming weeks and months in a Colorado courtroom. There will forever be a shadow over Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant even if he is found not guilty. And if a jury finds that Bryant did, mdeed, commit rape. then the young woman who pressed the charges might very well wonder whether jus' tice was worth the price. Bryant's alleged victim ha~ seen her name. her parents' names, her photo and personal information plastered all over . 'the Internet. In the public smear campaign that passed for a preliminary hearing the past two weeks in Colorado, she has heard herself portrayed in open court as a psycho slut desperate for attention. It's a wonder, after watching this - and the trials of William Kennedy Smith, Marv Albert and others that any woman recovering from such a nightmari sh physical humiliation would subject herself, by pressing charges, to a legal one. Tina Phan knows why. 'Because yo u'll reFet it the rest of your life If you don't," she s.aid by phone Joan Ryan the other day. Phan insisted that her real name be used in the newspaper. Otherwise, she said, it would be too easy for people to dismiss her story. A young man she has known since the seventh grade raped her the morning of July 19 in her Terra Linda, Calif., apartment. After they had attended the same late-night party in Novato, she had allowed him to sleep on the couch when he said he had no bus money to get home. Phan awoke the next moming to a chemical-soaked towel smashed against her face. She later learned .it was toilet-bowl cleanser and Ajax. As she gasped for air and tried to scream, her attacker showed her a knife and told her to shut up. A pornographic movie played on the television. He raped her, telling her she was not the tirst and would not be the last. Then he left, telling her not to move for 20 minutes. But Phan immediately locked the door and called her boyfriend's mother, who rushed her to the hospital. Phan knew what might be waiting for her when she pressed charges. She has watched enough television and read enough newspapers. to know that she might be the one put on llial. After all. she had allowed him to spe nd the night. '!never hesitated to go ·to the pol ice because I knew I didn't do anything wrong," Phan said. 'What got to me most was that he Said he had done this before and would do it again. I had to make sure he didn't." Phan's attacker pleaded•not guilty at first. When Phan refused to back off her story, he finally pleaded guilty. He will be sentenced Dec. 5 in Marin County, Calif. 'Every single day l 'have at least one flashback," she saill. 'Mostly what I think is, 'Why 0 ' For how long we knew each other, it didn't make any sense." Phan never returned to her apartment. She has been sleei?ing ever si nee on the couch in the home of her boyfriend's mother. She isn't in therapy yet - the rape is still so raw that she says she can't put her feelings into words yet, But knowing her attacker is behind bars makes her feel less vulnerable, and not only because he can't contact her. · 'When he was doing what he did to me, he thought he had control," Phan said. 'But I control his life' now. He humiliated himself, his whole family. He has ruined hi s \\!hole life. At the sentencing, I can tell the judge everything I think should happen to him. Rape is abou t control , and now I'm the one in control." This is what rape cri~ i s counselors and district attorneys want rape victims to remember as they watch the' dismaying developments in the Kobe Bryant case. TI1e Bryant ca'e and others raise questions about th• strength of rape shield laws designed to keep a victim fran . being publicly humiliated witi irrelevant testimony about hersexual and psychological his tory. They seem at times to bt flimsy protection against ar. aggressi ve defense attorney. reinforcing a victim's fear thai she'll pay too a high price in coming forward. 'There's a chilling effect from the publicized cases. absolutely,' said Mary Anne Mcdonough, director of tht victim/witness program at the Marin County district attorney's office, where Phan's case was prosecuted. But she says women need to know there is a system in place to support them. She tells women if they stick to the truth, then it is more likely their attacker will see they cannot be intimidated into dropping the charges and thus more likely he will take a plea rather than go to court. 'You just want the truth to be known," Mcdonough said, 'so the person responstble is held accountable for what he did." There is a girl in Colorado two years older than Phan who says a famous basketball player raped her.

Father and daughter to be sentenced for filing false slavery reparations tax claims WARSAW, Va. (AP) Crystal Foster 's father advised her to spend th e $500,000 income tax refund she got two years ago. When the governme nt came looking for its money, the Fosters said it was their ri ghtful reparations. si nce their ancestors were slaves. Though there is no federal reparations program, Foster had spent the money in eig ht days , buying a · $40.000 Mercedes Benz. payigg off her student loans and helping 'her brother pay for his first year at Virginia Tech. Foster's father. Robert Lee Foster. prepared her tax forms and was convicted along with hi s daughter or trying to defraud the government. He maintains he did the right thing. "Black people are not treated as humans, but as things by the U.S , gove rn ment," he said in an interview at the Northern Neck Re gional Jail. " We were use'd as resources to enrich thi s country and we get no inheritance from the wealth we brought." According to the Internal Revenue Service. more than 80,000 tax returns were filed in 2001 seeking nonexistent slavery tax credits, totaling $2.7 billion. More than $30 million was mistakenly paid out in slave reparations in 2000 and part of 200 I. . That number dropped significantly last year atier stepped-up scrutiny of tax returns and an aggressive media campaign targeted against scam artists promising to secure tax credits for blacks. But the government has also begun quietly cracking down on filers of false claims after years of looking the other way . . Foster and his daughter each were convicted in July of conspiracy to defraud the govemment. Robert Foster also was convicted of four counts and Crystal Foster of one count of making false claims. 'Both were scheduled to be sentenced in U.S. District Court in Richmond on Thursday. Defendants in similar cases have received up to seven years in prison . The case against Robert Foster has taken severa l bizarre turns. Foster renounced his U.S. citize nship in jail and professed allegiance to the Moab Tiara Cherokee Kituwah Nation. an obscure Charlotte. N.C .. group whose members claim they are descendants of African Moors who came to the New World before European colonialists. Foster filed papers in U.S. District Court seeking to vacate the judgment against him based on lack of juris· diction by the U.S. government . The judge rejected the motion .

Jeb Bush The Daily Sentinel :cLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) ...:. Legal scholars predicted Wednesday that Gov. Jeb Bush 's intervention in a bitter 6ght-to-die case involving a brain-damaged woman would be ruled unconstitutional, and her husband 's lawyer angri ly complained the woman was "abducted from her deathbed." ·_" It is so repugnant to so many provisions of Florid.a's Cflpstitution, we are all certain that it will be overturned," said George Felos, the attorney for Michael Schiavo. ; Legal scholars also decried the move as an ex traordinary end run around the courts. "In my view the bill is plai njy unconstitutional." said University of Florida law professor Joseph Little. ·. rerri Schiavo, 39, has been in what doctors call a "persistent vegetative state" since 1990, when her heart stopped because of a chemical imbalance. Her eyes are open, but doctors say sne has no consciousness. Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have fought to keep i)er alive and say she still could recover. Michael Schiavo contends that she told him she would rather die than be kept alive artificially, but her parents said they never heard her ~ay anything like that. : She was transferred late Wednesday from Morton Plant Hospital, where she had been taken Tuesday to begin the process of reinserting a !'ceding tube that has been keeping her alive since 1990. Pat Anderson, the Schindlers' lawyer, said the patient was taken back to the hospice that cared for her several years. : Her feeding tube was removed by court order last Wednesday at the insistence of a Thursday, October 23, her husband. The case is one of the nation's longest and most contentious right-to-die cases, pining members of the same family against one another. On Tuesday. the Legislature rushed through a bill designed to save Schiavo's life, and Bush quickly inv,oked the law and ordered the !Ceding tube reinserted. A hospital then began giving the woman fluids intravenously to prepare her body for the resumption of feeding. A judge later rejected an initial request by Michael Schiavo to block Bush's order but said he would consider it again after both sides file briefs. Felos said that Terri Schiavo suffered signs of organ failure Tuesday and the reintroduction of fluids after a week without food or water mi ght just make her suffer more . A Morton Plant Hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday she could not release any informalion on Schiavo. The Schindlers had complained Wednesday that they had not been allowed by Michael Schiavo, still her legal guardian, to see her in the hospital. They got th at permission late Wednesday, but she had been taken to the hospice, in an ambulance escorted by several police cars. by the time they arrived at the hospital. Felos said earlier that the woman was quietly dying after the tube was removed, that her heartbeat had become irregular and her kidneys were shutting down, and that it was "simply inhumane and barbari c to interrupt her death process." "The hysteri cal opposition to his case says so much more about us as a soc iety," he said . "1 think it says so much more B.OOTHBAY HARBOR. Maine (AP) - Social studies teach~r Eric Chamberlin clicks on a projector connected to a laptop computer, beginning a slide 011 how a bill becomes a law. His eighthgrade students !lip opon laptops, eagerly winding through the lesson on their screens. Chamberlin has seen a big change in hi s students since laptops were introduced into his Boothbay Middle School classroom. · "Stuff will go wrong." he said, "but in the end ...learning is infinite ly better than from a static page in a book." Most educators and legislators agree the $37.2 million progmm, which outfits the state's 34,000 seventh- and eighthgraders and 3,000 teachers with faptops, makes the grade. Absenteeism has dropped, and students have shown significtmt improvement in paying attention to schoolwork. But few states are rushing to follow Maine's example. In just a few years time, state budget surpluses that soared during the dot-com em have v<mished, and laptops suddenly seem exU<Jvag<mt for states gmP: piing with tight budgets. smd Steve Smith, senior policy specialist for the National Conference of State Legislatures. "States want to cut things that a'ren 't going to directly aftect the classroom," Smith said. Even in Maine, funding is uncertain after the fou r-year laptop program ends in 2005. Gov. John Balducci is proposing $5.7 million in 2005 to keep it running, spokesman Lee Umphrey said. The appropriation would require legislative approval. Talk of expanding Maine's laptop program into hi gh about our fear of death than the sanctity of life." . -' The bill sent to Bush was designed to be as narrow as possible. It is limited to cases in which the patient left no living will , is in a persistent vegetative state and has had nutrition and hydration tubes removed, and where a family member has challenged the removal. Lega l experts wide ly agreed th at the governor and Legisluture went tuo fur. "This panicular administration has not yet understood why we have se paration of powers," said former Florida Supreme Court Justice Gerald Kogan. "They seem to believe that the governor and the Legislature can do whateve r they want and the courts should not intcrtere and that's not right." Harvard Ia w professor Lau rence Tribe sa id: ''I ' ve never seen a case in which the state legislature treats so meone's li fe as a po li tical football in qu ite the way this is being done." Bush and the Republicanled Legislature have a reputation for being at odds with the courts. They have clashed over abo11ion and the death penalty. Bush and lawmakers who supported the legislation said they had a legi timate reason to intervene in the case to save Schiavo's life .

Plant the shrubs or trees at the same soil level as the plant was harvested fmm a field or in a container. Watch the root system for encircling aro und the bottom of the container. Untangle the root system before planting. Water in the plants. Mulch your new plants, shrubs, and trees with two inches of mulch, then water them again . Trees need to be staked to assist them in rooting into the soil and keep them upright during the windy winter weather.

BY HAL KNEEN Special to the Sentinel There is sti ll time to plan and plant a new landscape around your home before winter sets in. The fall season is an ideal time to plant deciduous shrubs and trees. As deciduous plants lose their leaves, their root systems continue to grow into the surrounding sOi l as long as soil temperatures are degrees F. above 50 Generally, our clay soil s are easier to dig up in the drier fall weather and air temperatures are more pleasant to work in. Evergreen shrubs and trees should have been planted about a month ago, however, wit h some tender loving care even these may be planted now. They will need extra attention given to them, especially when it comes to watering them, if we have several wi nter days of bright sunny weather. Sunny days on evergreen plants allow water vapor from their needles to transpire, and if soi ls are fro zen our plants actually dry out. Water and mulching help newly-planted shrubs to replace the transpired water by reabsorbing water throu gh their root system and transporting it into their needle\ike leaves.

"We'll have an update probably some time, 12 o'clock on Sunday," a · very vague Davis said following ·I practice. "Stay tuned."

He had wanted to · first check on the health of Holcomb, who l)Jade his first appearance in a game last week since breaking his' right leg on Sept. 21 at San Francisco.

The disgruntled running back vented weeks of frustration Wednesday, turning the attention on himself as the Bengals (2-4) . prepared for a pivotal game. He made it clear he wants out. · After watching practice from the sideline with a strained groin, Dillon told reporters he hasn' t gotten the ball enough in recent year~. even when he's been healthy. He also said he's tired of his treatment by fans and the media, who have started questioning his durability. "I would prefer to be in a place where I'm appreciated," Dillon said. "It could be anywhere. Who knows1 I'm just goi ng to get to a place where I' m happy and I feel appreciated and they recogni ze my talents and I can achieve my goal s. "Wherever that may be, I don"t know. But that's the tirst thing on my offse ason list." Dillon's co mments represented the biggest challenge yet to first-year coach Marvin Lewis, who has been trying to get hi s most accomplished player to buy into his team-first philosophy. Dillon skipped the first voluntary minicamp under Lewis, and ~as the on ly regul ar to show up late for training camp. Lewis 11<1s urged him to talk to the media reg ul arl y, but has been rebuffed. • By venting hi s frustrations. Dillon violated hi s coach's insistence on keeping team matters private. Lewis said· he won't punish Dillon for his remarks, which he shrugged off as nothing more than a spat ·between a player and the media. "'What Corey feels like is he's not been treated very fairly by the media," Lewis said, coming off the field after practice. "He's disappointed. He feels he doesn't ge t a fair shake, no matter what he does. "He came and talked to me yesterday. Everything's gopd .. Sorr{' it's al~rming. But It am t us, It s you guys." Dillon said it goes beyond his · re lations hip with the media. "You guys ain't my only can.'' James, the most hyped player to n)ake the jump from high school to the pros, understands he's a work in progress. " I ain't tinished." he said. "''m only 18 years old.

One week before James plays in hi s first regular-season game as a pro, it already feels as if the Akron phenom has been in the league for a few years. James is everywhere. His smiling face adorns magazine covers and wine-and-gold No. 23 Cavaliers jerseys have become trendy chic across northeast Ohio. There are local commercial radio spots feaiuring him, and the league is even using James in promos for its upcoming season. He's already made one national TV appearance as the Cavaliers game last week against the Los Angeles Lakers was carried by TNT. Because of James, the Cavaliers, who went 17-651ast season and havcn"t been on network TV for the past three seasons, will be on 13 times in 2003-04. Charles Barkley said James and his teammates are not yet ready for prime time. The fonner All-Star, now a color analyst for TNT, said his network and others are doing a "disservice" to James by showcasing him so early in the sea- son. The r~posure is giving fans th e perception that James is a !Jp~u lide star when in reality lhc s an unproven rookie on an '\inexperienced team. "'It's too much, too soon,'" Bai'kl ~y said Thesday during a media\conference call. "I want LeBron to do well, but he's got a long way to go. "ESPN, the NB A(" and TNT are doing this kid a disservice throwing him out there and making him the focus." . Like most of the NBA's firstyear players, James has had an mconsistent 8reseason. He 's averagmg I .3 points, 5.3 rebounds, a team-leading 4.3 assists and 4.0 ti •rnovers through his tirst six exhibition games. · The Cavaliers (3-3) host the Washington Wizards in their final home preseason game Wednesday. While James has a shown a keen sense of court awareness with some mfty passes, he has also unveiled a llawed perimeter game. He's shooting just 27-for-82 (33 percent) from the field, including 1-for-13 on 3-pointers that are nearly five feet further back than the ones he used to launch in high school. ''lt"s a lot different," he said of the long-range shots. "I just haven't been focusing on it. I've just been letting it fly, thinking I'm going to Iriake it. On Sunday, I was really focusmg on my shot and it was falling for me." Last weekend, the Cavs closed a three-game West Coast trip with their most complete game of the preseason. a I02-87 win over the Lukers.: who were with Shaquille O"Neal but not Kobe Bryant.

Hull scored hi s 7 17th career goal to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead at 5:32 of the second period. The goa l tied him with Phil Esposito. and left him behind only Way ne Gretzky (894).

Holcomb didn ' t complain and never qu estioned whether he was jeopardizing his season by getting hurt worse. " You don ' t think abou t that," he said. "You take a risk every time you step on the field. You never know what's going to happen . They told me to go in, so I did." Holcomb said he's ready if the Browns need him again. " I think I can run the offense," he said. "I don't think I can run well. Another week would help, but I'm ready. If I'm called upon, then you gotta go in th ere and you gotta play." Meanwhile, the Browns· offensive line has apparently lost another starter. · Left tackle Barry Stokes, who has been battling a severely sprained right ankle since Week 2, was in a fitted cast and on crutches. Davis said Stokes did not break the ankle and that the cast was just to immobilize it. If ' Stokes can' t play, Joaquin Gonzalez will make hi s first career start Sunday. Gonzalez played the entire second half las t week when Stokes reaggravated his injury. The Browns are also likely to be without starting center Jeff Paine and left guard Shaun ·o ' Hara for the second straight week because of knee injuries. Neither practiced Wednesday. Running back William Green (shoulder) and right tackle Ryan Tucker (chest) were listed as probable.on the injury report. · Green had to leave Sunday's game in the first half after taking a hard hit. Xrays were negative but he was lim ited in the second half. On Monday, Green had his right arm in a sling, but Davis said the Brown s' leading rusher took part in prac ti ce on Wednesday.

"We can sti ll win a share of.the Big East title," he said. "So that's what I' m concerned about." Virginia Tech wanted revenge for a 21- 18 setback to !he Mountaineers last year in Blacksburg, Va.

The plan was unveiled as Europe's fastest man became the first athlete to admit testing positive for a newly discovered designer steroid, and USATF chief executive officer Craig Masback announced that fou r of its athletes also tested positive for the drug. The previously undetec table steroid is at the center of a potentially colossal sc andal mvolving chemists. athletes and coaches. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says several athletes used the drug and that it 's bel ieved to have come from a laboratory that supplies some of the nation 's top sports stars with nutritional supplements . Masback said the USATF's proposal is "twinned with an admission on our part that we have not done everything we could have done in the past." Just days ago, the U.S. Olympic Committee gave the national track governing body a month to deal with doping and athlete conduct issues - or face possible decertification. The USATF hopes to adopt the new anti-doping policy at its annual meeting Dec. 4-8 in Greensboro, N.C .. after determining if it r un legally implement the increased penalties under the Amateur Sports Act. Current USATF rules call fo r a two-year ban for a fir st steroid offense. · Masback said the proposed changes would not be Fetroactive, which means athletes who tested positive this summer for tetrahydroges trinone, or THG, would not face a possible lifetime ban. The plan also proposes fines of up to $10,000 for stimulant use and up to $ 100,000 for drugs such as steroids or amphetamines. Coaches could face bans and fines of up to $100,000 if their athletes flunk drug · tests. The USOC called the plan "an excellent first step" and said it had appointed a fourperson panel t<' work with the USATF. "Th is is a problem that must be addressed, and it must be addr,e ssed now," Jim Scherr, the USOC's acting CEO, said in a statement. "The integrity and credibility of track and field in America is at stake." Masback sent a letter Wednesday to the leaders of major U.S. sports leagues, askin~ them to join him in Washmgton in the next two weeks for a meeting about the problem of drugs in sports. "The situation in which we find ourselves is not a track and field problem or a baseball problem, but an American problem," Masback said in a conference call from USATF headquarters in Indianapolis. The International Association of Athletics Federations, track's world governing body, welcomed the USATF proposal and said there is nothing in IAAF rules to block the U.S. body from imposing lifetime bans . The four U .S. athletes who tested positive for THG thi s summer at the U.S. · track and field championships at Stanford, Calif., could be barred from the '2004 Olympics. Despite that, hurdler Allen Johnson said the U.S. team will not suffer. "We have enough clean athletes to perform as well as we ever have. We have enough clean athletes to win gold medals ," Jphnson , a four-time world champion, said during the USATF conference call. "I think the image now is going to be that the cheaters are not there." The IAAF plans to retest about 400 urine samples from the World Championships in August and says any positive findings would lead to retroactive punishments. On Wednesday, swimming's world governing body, F.INA, said it would consider retesting drug sam- pies from its world championships this summer. The NFL has said the league might retest its samples for THG. Major League Baseball has said it- will be unable to retest samples taken this year for THG, but plans to discuss whether to add it to the list of banned substances. Also Wednesday, British I 00-meter champion Dwain Chambers said he tested positive for THG in an outof-competition test in August. If found gu ilty of doping, Chambers would face a two-year ban. Britain could also lose the 400meter relay silver medal from the world meet in August because Chambers ran the final leg . Chambers denied trying to cheat and blamed hi s positive test on nutritional supplements provided by Burlingame, Calif.-based Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative, or BALCO. He said through an attorney that he had been assured by BALCO founder Victor Conte tha~ all the supplements he was given were within internati.onal rules. One of Chambers ' training partners is Kelli White, whose two sprinting medals from this summer's world meet are at risk because of her positive test for the stimulant modafinil. She says she took modafinil for the sleep disorder narcolepsy. USADA detected THG after testing a substance in a syringe provided by an unidentified coach who said it came from Conte. Conte has denied being the source. Meanwhile, dozens of top Olympic and professional athletes - from baseball 's Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi to boxer Shane Mosley - have been sub- _ poenaed to testify before a federal grand jury probing BALCO. Being subpoenaed does not imply wrongdoing. BALCO was raided by the Internal Revenue Service and local drug agents in September. Conte's attorney has confirmed his client is the target of the grand jury probe . The scope of the investigation is unclear, and federal officials have refused to comment. Shannon who? Heap excels at tight end for Ravens OWINGS MILLS. Md. (AP) - The evolution -of Todd Heap into a Pro Bowl tight end can be attributed in part to the lessons he received from Shannon Sharpe, who served as a mentor when both were with the Baltimore Ravens in 2001. Heap came to Baltimore as the .31st overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft. It didn't take long for him to attach himself to Sharpe, who happily shared the knowledge that comes with more than a decade of experience at the position. , "I saw a guy that had an awful lot of ability, and he wanted to be good and he wanted to learn," Sharpe recalled Wednesday. 'That really made my job a lot easier as far as telling him how to approach the game, studying film and how to work on the field." Heap played in only 12 games during his rookie year, but the education he that Sharpe provided will last a lifetime. "I learned a lot of the finer points, the ones that took him eight, I0, 12 years to figure out," Heap said. 'That .definitely put me ahead of the game.H Sharpe left Baltimore after the 200 I season and signed as a free agent with the Denver Broncos. The Ravens miss his leadership, but ·Heap hl!S proven to be an antple substitute in terms of productivity on the football field. Heap leads the Ravens (3-3) with 24 catches and 291 yards receiving. He tied a career high last week with seven catches and posted his second I00-~ard game in a 34-26 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He is again expected to be a key target Sunday when Sharpe and the Broncos (5-2) come to town. "I'm throwing to the best tight end in the country," Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller said. "A guy that's as athletic and as fast as him, whenever you get 1-on-1 matchups, you've got to fmd some way to get him the ball. He showed us last week that he can make the plays." Heap would likely have developed into a solid tight end without Sharpe's help. But there's no denyin~ 's better for the experience. "I know I would have been able to learn what wa~ going on," Heap said. "At the same time, having Shannon there, you can't complain about that. He taught me a lot. I was able to prepare like he prepared." Sharpe, the NFL career leader among tight ends in catches and yards receiving, is virtually a sure bet to end up in the Hall of Fame. He sees good things ahead for Heap, too. "I've watched him on film, and I see myself," Sharpe said. "It's amazing because (my teammates) watch him and say, 'He got that from you, didn't he?' He's playing phenomenal." . Heap was good enough last year to make the Pro Bowl. Sharpe did not. "I told him, the easiest thing you 'II do is make it to one Pro Bowl," Sharpe said. "If you want to impress people, you'll go back year after year. ·When teams are geared UP. to stop you and you're still getting your yaros and your catches and you help your team win football games, that's when you earn your respect." Sharpe has been in eight Pro Bowls, the last in 2001. "We're both good tight ends," . Heap said. "He's 35 and I'm 23; there's a difference there. But I' m not taking anything from Shannon; he's one of the best there is, and a guy I've looked up to for a long time." . NOTES: The Ravens listed Boller (sprained left shoulder) as questionable in their injury repon to the league, but he practiced and is expected to start against Denver. "It's still pretty sore,': Boller said, "but I think I'll be ready to go Sunday. A little pain is not that bi~ of a deal." ... RB Jamal Lewis (shoulder) was hsted_as probable. 'The shoulder is good. J'm 'not roing to be doing any contact in practiCe, so it s no problem," Lewis said. "It's something's that's going to heal with time." but you're not getting the opportunities." No longer concerned that the Steelers would control the tempo with their running game - Zereoue is averaging only 3.3 yards per carry - defenses have mostly played Cover 2 schemes in which the safeties stay deep in pass coverage. That's meant receivers Plaxico Burress and Hines Ward often are double-teamed, one reason why Tommy Maddox was intercepted eight times in the first five games. If Bettis can resemble the running back who once was the NFL's premier power runner, it may force defenses to play less Cover 2 so the safeties can move up to provide run support. "The way the offense is going, the offensive line is banged up, so you're got to take that three yards, that four yards and be happy with it and not look to break too many long ones," Bettis said. What eve n Bettis doesn't know is how many runs he's got left in him, long or short. He's had only one 100-yard game since Nov. 12, 2001, against the Bengals early last season, and he 's rushed for more than 80 yards only once in his last 16 games. With the 255-pound Bettis no longer getting the repeated carries he needs to wear down defenses, he. has been held to 14 or fewer yards four times this season and in six of eight games. During that span, which includes two playoff games, he's averaged only 2.6 yards on· 53 carries. "That's the tough part about sports," Bettis said. "There's . always gomg to come that time when the success is 11eeting and the fan support is not there and the support from the team is not there. That 's a tou gh and a difficult time ydu have to deal with ... (bu t) you have to just keep going forward and believe in yourself." PITTSBURGH (AP) - Jerome Bettis, back in the Pittsburgh Steelers ' lineup for the first time since last year, isn't just trying to help save their season. He also wants to show that there 's something left in his career. Bettis is the lOth-leading rusher in NFL history but has spent most of the season standing on the sidelines, an unwilling observer as the Steelers have struggled to do what they traditionally do best: run the ball. So, with the Steelers (2-4) fourth from the bottom in rushing only two years after easily leading ihe league, they're going back to basics - and back to Bettis for Sunday 's important game against the St. Louis Rams (4-2). "Not picking sides or anything, but it's good to see him back there," lineman Alan Faneca said Wednesday. "You feel good for him that he 's getting his opportunity to prove himself again because people have kind of been talking about how he's at the end of his .career." Bettis ran for I ,000 qr more yards in each of hi s first six Steefer.~easons after being traded by the Rams in I 96, but that streak ended as he was held t 666 yards in 2002. With the 31.-year-old Bettis' durability in question following I 0 years of constant pounding and injury-interrupted seasons m 2001 and 2002, the Steelers handed his starting job to the faster, quicker Amos Zereoue three weeks before the season began. The demotion rankled Bettis, who needs only 643 yards to pass Jim Brown and become the No. 6 rusher in NFL history, but he refused to criticize it. "Whenever you have expectations higher than the way you're playing, it's difficult, " said Bettis, who has only 128 yards in six games.

MIDDLEPORT- Those promoting the arts through the programs of the Riverbend Arts Council hope the observance of October as National Arts and Humanities Month will help raise awareness of activities offered countywide through the council's efforts. Meigs County Commissioners signed a proclamation Thursday declaring a local observance of the month for next week, encouraging local residents to become aware of, and participate in, local arts programs. by Coordinated Ameircans for the Arts, the month's observance has become the largest annual Constellation Station awards prizes to stellar students BY J. MILES LAYTON )layton@ myda11ysentine l. com RACINE - A pilot progmm at Southern Elementlry School rewards stude nt~ f(Jr good behavior and teaches valuable lessons. Students in the fifth through the eighth grades are awarded points for parti ci pating in proJects or making good grades. A student who gets all A's on a report card gets 20 points. Another 'tudent can accumulate points with perfect attendance or good behavior. The more point' a student earns. the fOOre that a student can purcha1e 31 a small stOre loc3IOO on the secor£1 floor of the elementary school called Constellalion Station.

Student> can >ave their points up and choose to go on a trip Instead of using the points at the store. There are plans for a trip to Charleston, W.Va.. for a tour of the Clav Center. which is similar to COS I in Columbus or Toledo . Mickey Kucsma. principal. said the program costs the school district nothing because the money for !he prizes mmes from area :businesses and individuals. SHe said the program falls in line with the continuous improvement plan by which the school is guided. "It is a positive plan and the items that are offered in the Constellation Station are things that some students would like but can not afford, but with the points they can get the se things." Kucsma. The idea toc the program was the brdinchild of a corrunittee made up of parents and teachers led by chairper.;on Tricia McNickle. a third grade teacher.
