The six- time National League MVP entered the grand jury room late Thursday morning accompanied by attorney Mike Rains and left the roo m nearly 5 1/2 hours later, thou gh it was unclear how long he testified. ''It went fine," Bonds said as he was led by two bodyg uards and two federal marshals to a freight elevator that was held for him . He was taken directly to the garage of the federal courthouse , then driven away as a marshal stopped tra ffic . Bonds' wife and mother sat in a nearby hallway during most of hi s appearance. At one point, Bonds - who wore a sports jacket and tie - stu ck his head into the hallway and asked, " Is my mother here?" Benito Santiago. a free agent who spent the past three seasons as Bonds' teammate with the San Francisco Giants, testified for 45 minutes later in the afternoon. Hi s attorney, David Cornwell , said he fears athletes who appear before the grand jury will be unfairly ostracized. "My only concern is that there seems to be almost an undercurrent that stigmatizes these guy s, which I think is inappropriate," Cornwell said. Bond s has attributed his muscular development over the years to intense weight training, proper diet and a regimen of nutritional supplements from companies such as the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO, that is at the heart of the grand jury probe. Bonds repeatedly has denied using steroids. Thursday 's appearance gave grand jurors the chance to ask the Giants slugger under oath whether his growth has been entirely natural. Other athletes that already have appeared before the grand jury include track star Marion Jones and her boyfriend, I00-meter worl d record-holder Tim Montgo mery, four Oakl and Raiders and Ol ympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken. An appearance before the grand jury, or being subpoenaed to testify, does not mean an athlete is a target of the probe. Two people have been named so far as targets of the grand j ury - BALCO founder Victor Conte, and Greg Anderson, Bonds' personal trainer. Bonds. 39. hecame a BALCO client just before his record-setting 200 I season , in which he hit 73 homers, and has praised Conte fo r giving him a personali zed nutritional program . Anderson 's home was raided by the Internal Revenue Service and a drug task fnrce Sept. 5, two days after a similar raid at BALCO. Bonds posed with Conte and Anderson for this past June's issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine and heaped praise on both . "I visit BALCO every three to six months. They check my blood to make sure my levels are where they should be. Maybe I need to eat more broccoli than I normally do. Maybe my zinc and magnesium intakes need to increase," Bonds told the magazine. "Victor will call me to make sure I'm taking my supplements, and my trainer Greg will sit near my locker and stare at me if I don't begin working out right away. I have these guys pushing me." Bonds brought Anderson ; a childhood friend, on a major league tour of Japan after the 2002 season, when the trainer met players such as Jason Giambi - who also has been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury. CONNIE MABIN Associated Press CLEVELAND -Someone sent hate mail to more than 30 high-profile black men, including several NFL players. warning 'them to avoid relationships with white women or be castrated. the FBI said Thursday. Agents have been · investigating the case for almost two year~ and have no suspect, said Special Agent Bob Hawk. Most of the letters ~ad Cleveland postmarks. but a few were sent from Youngstown, New Castle, Pa. and Erie, Pa., he told The Associated Press . Hawk said the letters "were sent to high-profile people in their respective communities - professional athletes, business leaders. civic leaders, community leaders or organizations." Six went to professional athletes. Hawk would not identify who received letters and said only that they were mailed to the East and West coasts, the Midwest and the Southeast. A memo sent Nov. 18 to all NFL teams by the league's security department said the threatening letters came from the same person. "The memo went out to head coaches who were asked to share the information with security personnel and players," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday. Hawk said the contents of the letters "complain about the relationships between black men and white females." He said the letters direct black males to end relationships with white women "or they're going to be castrated, shot or set on fire." All the letters were typed and had similar margins, spacing and words, Hawk said. The letters usually were signed "angry white woman" or "angry Caucasian woman." In Columbus, a police report said the mother of suspended Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett received a racially charged death threat addressed to her son. Michelle Claret! received the letter, which had no return · address, at her home on Oct. 2. The typed message was' from "OSU cheerleaders" and said "black men should stay away from white women ." It included other racial remarks and ended with a message that the writer will "kill and bomb the place." Hawk was unsure if the Clarett letter was part of the current case. An offender could be charged with sending threats W.Michigan president will ask for elimination of 4 varsity sports KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) -After a two-month review of intercollegiate sports at Western Michigan, President Judith I. Bailey said Thursday she .will ask the board of trustees to .drop four varsity sports to help the school save money. Bailey will recommend to trustees at their Dec. 12 meeting that they approve the elimination of men's outdoor track, men's indoor track, men's cross counD-y and synchronized skating after this school year. Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is the nation s only other college that offers syncrhronized skating as a varsity sport. It is a club sport at other schools. Eliminating the four sports would save Western Michigan more than $535,000 per year while affecting about I00 athletes, the university said in a news release. The Kalamazoo Gazette reported that the sports have 102 athletes on their current, combined rosters, including 54 women on the synchronized skating team. "This was an incredibly painful decision," Bailey said. "We know that eliminatinjl any sport diminishes our abihty to offer . a well-rounded college ex~nence . 'But we must protect our core academic mtssion, and doing that in this.budget climate means making difficult decisions and reassessing how we use our resources." . Bailey created a committee on Sept. 24 to perform the . review. This happened after Western Michigan lost $12.5 million in state appropriation '• money at the start of the 200304 school year. Just as the committee was completing its work, Gov. Jenmfer Granholm announced an impending executive order cut that could mean another $6 million less for the university. The committee dealt with several parameters, including keeping Western Michigan a Division 1- A member of the NCAA, maintaining Title IX compliance and remaining an active member of both the MidAmerican Conference and the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.

About f our feet from th e couch where Donald Fi tch sleep s, 1he solid oak paneling is splintered above a parakeet's cage. T he shooting, and another that struck a car. both occurred since a woman was killed on a nearby freeway. bringing the number of case s under in ve st igation to 14, authorities said Friday. " Investi gators now kn ow the person or persons has consciously decided to continue wi th the same acti vft'y which unfortunately resulted in the death of Mrs. Kni sley," Franklin County sheriff 's Chief Deputy Steve Martin said . On Sunday mornin g, a wom an heard a thud as she drove on Interstate 270 and noticed a bullet hole when she got home, Martin said. She noti f i ed police on Tue sday. In th e other shooting, Fitch 's mother, Emm a Fader, found the bullet hole in the front of her house about a quarter-mile from the hi ghway and a bullet on her living room tloor. Fader, 56, made the di scovery Monday following a weekend away, she said . " ! don 't believe l was a target," she said. Mother and son both said the shootin g has them spooked. "! hope thi s is the end of it ," Fitch said. " It ' s been nerve-racking." Whil e authorities haven 't commented on the type of weapon used, Fitch said a police officer from suburban Obetz told him the shot must have come from a high-powered ri lle. " A 12-gauge or a handgun wouldn' t have made -i t," sai d Fitch, 38. Auth oritie s believe the shootings are the first since Nov. 25, when Gail Knisley. 62, was k illed as she was bein g driven lo a doctor 's appointment. She was the onl y person hit in the shootings. T he shoot ings began in M ay but have happened mainly i n the past two months, raising fear s that a sniper may be stalking the area. The incidents took place near an inte rc han g~ of tw o higl:l ways that see · 77,000 vehicles a day on average. The bull et from the house came from the same gu'n as four other shooting s th at have been definiti vel y linked by balli sti cs tests. i~cluding one at a school , Martin said.

"The tragic death of Nathaniel Jones has once again shown that Cincinnati police are incapable of dealing with these situations," said Dan La Botz, one of about 30 protesters who demonstrated outside police headquarters on Friday night. "It is a failure of leadership, and the police chief should step down. We are here to say that the protests, the boycon and other political measures will continue until there is justice in this city." The peaceful protest, which lasted slightly over an· hour, came a few hours after a news conference at the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police headquarters. Leaders of the police union said the six officers had the right to use nightsticks to defend themselves after Jones, 41 , auacked them Sunday at a fast-food parking lot.

GUEST VIEW Money Pension fond riform Dear Editor: As public employees with the Stille of Ohio, we have more at stake than anybody in the outcome of the current debate about pension fund reform becau se our hard-earned dollars and future security hinge on it. I was too outraged by the revelations earlier this year of corruption at several of the state's five public retirement systems. I am pleased by many of the provi sions that were included in the House and Senate bill, which require regular fiduciary performance audits, financial disclosure statements, and trav· el, compensation and ethics policies. I am shocked, howeve r, that in the name of pension reform, the House and Senate have inserted provisions that inject campaign politics into their bills. My greatest concern involves the composi tion of the retirement systems' boards. These boards delicately balance the interests of stakeholders. The Senate version takes a sledgehammer to this balance by adding two governor-chosen appointees to each board, giving him disproportionate input, and ten additional appointment plums to fill with campaign contributors or other patrons. At least the House version keeps the same total number of board members. But that is meaningless because of the lastminute decision to give the state treasurer super-trustee powers to hire lind fire the systems' executive directors. How will executive directors be able to follow the direction of aboard majority when just one member has the sole power to fire them ? . Another attack on the retirement systems comes in the form of the "Buy Ohio" investment manager mandate. This provision would require state pension funds to use Ohio-based investment managers for 50· 70 percent of their investment ac tivity. In principle, no one opposes using Ohio businesses to manage Ohio's pension dollars, but the effect of this provision would be sinister. By limiting options for investment management and brokerage, Ohio's pension funds would be forced to pay higher fees for lesser returns, costing millions of dollars in reduced investment income. Pen sion funds do hot exist to serve the interests of Ohio bankers; they exist to provide retirement benefits to public servants. State law already requires pension fund boards to use Ohio-based firms and to invest in Ohio assets that do not compromise returns. One estimate predicts a loss to one system alone at $1.45 billion over 10 years; do taxpayers really want to underwrite that loss only to increase the profits of a handful of large Ohio banks and brokers? House and Senate leadership ought to pass a real pension reform bill that leaves the existing balance of interests in place. Such reforms grant no extraordinary powers to ·the state treasurer and do not limit the ability of pension systems to hire the country's best professional investors . Put in place the reform s necessary to ensure that our pension funds operate effectively, but don ' t saddle them with patronage-driven mandates that will only make things worse.

You may have heard that some Hollywood types are organizing to unseat President Bu sh next year. 'So what ,' you say. 'What can these people really do'' ' Well. they've got money, number one. Far- left billionaire George Soros has pledged ten million to a group called ·A merica Coming Together which is recruiting celebriti es like Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Rob Reiner. and Mike Farrell to spread the anti -Bush word. But money is not really the issue here ... access is. Here's what's going on. Right now, only abou t half of the voting age population in America actuall y votes. And for Americans under the age of 30. the percentage is far less than that. The anti· Bush forces believe if they can reach you ng Americans, they can boot the President out. But the on ly way to con· nect with many of those people is through entertainment vehicles. And that's wh ere the celebrities come in . Increasingly, si ngers like Bruce Springsteen and the Dixie Chicks, to name ju st four, are using their venui:·s to Bill O'Reilly I talk up liberal po li tics. So are other performers like Sean Penn. George Clooney ami Susan Sarandon. While promoting thei r films. they drop anti-Bush grenades that mil lions of people hear. The message is getting stronger and louder: Bu sh is a menace . This strategy will become even more organized and intense in the coming campai gn year. The danger for Republicans is that onl y the anti-Bush side will be heard (.)S man y ente rtainmenl ve nues do not active ly seek political balance. Let's take a look at the landscape. " Jay Leno is a fai r guy ami books people on all sides of the political spectrum so there's no problem here. * David Letterman is a different story. Since Labor but you'd better be quick. • The ' late nigh I gabfests like Conan O'Brien play to their young viewership which means the mean, old Republicans don't have a chance there. So if liberal entertainment pe6ple really invest some time and effort, it might be bad news for President Bush. We are living in a time where perception is reality, and impressions are formed from rank propaganda and outright deception. A ff ood of anti· Bush celebrities on the chat . shows co uld help the Democratic candidate big· time, and the GOP really has no answer. Can you imagine Dick Cheney dishing with Star Jones? The left-wing sharpies see an electoral potential in the young vote and they believe they 've found a way to tap into it. Seven hundred votes decided the last presidential election . This time Letterman is good for at least that.

I'm pleased to report that we may, at last, be getting closer to an answer, thanks to an important recent discovery by fish scientists. This discovery involves a bodily function that .some readers may find di stasteful to read about (even though I bet they do it) so before I tell you what it is, here is a: WARNING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE OFFENDED BY THE PHRASE 'B REAK WIND': The following paragraphs contain the phrase . 'break wind. ' So if you don't want to see the phrase 'break wind,' go read a classier part of the newspaper, such as the bridge column. Although if you think bridge players don't break wind. you are clearly not aware of the ori· gin of the word 'trump. ' . OK, now that we've gotten rid of Attorney General Ashcroft, let's get to the amazing recent discovery that has fish scientists in such · an uproar. which can be su_m· manzed in three words : Herring break wind. I swear I am not making this up. Many alert readers have sent me an article from the NewScientist.com news service, which begins with the following paragraph (I have omitted one naughty word that we cannot put in the newspaper): . Dave Barry 'Biologists have linked a my steriou s, underwater (naughty word that rhymes with 's marting') sound to bubbles coming out of a herring's anus. No tish had been known to emit sound from its anus nor to be capable of producing such a high-pitched noi se .' If yo u go on the NewScientis t site (http://www.newscient ist. co m/news/news.J sp?td=ns9999 4343), you can actually hear a recording of herring makin g this mysterious 110i s.e . Isn't modern technology amazing' A hundred years ago, if you· had told people that some day there would be a giant network of incredibly sophi sticated ' thinking machines' that would allow virtually anybody, vi rtuall y anywhere on Earth, to hear a herring cut the cheese, they would have beaten you to death with sticks. And they would have been -right. Anyway, the herrmg on the Internet makes a highpitched raspberry noise, which turns into a series of rapid ticks. The herring research team has named this sound (I am still not making any of this up) a Fast Repetitive Tick, or FRT. The critical question now facing the scientific community is : WHY do herring break wind? Scientists quot· ed in the article speculate that the herring might be using these sounds - which they make mainly at night - to communicate with each other. This raises another ques· tion: What, exactly, would a herri ng need to communicate? I mean, we're talking about creatures with roughly the same IQ as a Tic-Tac . They are not down there discussing Marce l Proust. My guess they're probably breaking wind to convey extremely simple messages such as: · 'Hey, it's dark! ' ' I know! The same thing happened las t night! ' ' Who said that?' ' Me!' ' Who are you? A herring! ' ' Wow, that's amazing! I'm also a herring! '· 'Wow! I'm al so a Yankees fan! ' 'Wow, that's amazing! I'm' a Yankees fan I', etc. I contacted one of the her· ring researchers, Dr.. Ben Wrlson of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. When I reached him. he was on a ship off the coast of Alaska, doin·g research on sea lions. l:fe is a thoughtful man with a British accent, and .he sounded quite seriou s about the herring research. Have you ever been in one of those situations where you think the topic is pretty funny, but the other person does not seem to be nearly as amused as you? That was what it was like for me, talking to Dr. Wilson about why herring break wind. I asked hi1n if, by any chance, the wind-breaking herring happened to be males. Because if they were, th at might explain it: It is a well -known sc ientific fact that human males deliberate· ly break wind purely for the sense of accomplishment it gives them. But Dr. Wilson said he was unaware of any correlation between the sex of the herring and the FRT noise. He also noted that it's difficult to tell male and female herring apart. Maybe that's what they're comm unicatin g about: ' Hey, you want to mate?' · 'Surer My name is Bob! ' ' Hey, my name is Bob, t oo.I ' 'UH-o hi. ' , etc. But whatever the herring are up to, I am confident that, in time, Dr. Wilson and his colleagues will get tGJ the bot. tom (Har!) of it. On behalf of humanity, I thank them, as well as any editors who actually published this column. · (Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald.

KEEPING GALLIA AND MEI .GS COUNTY INFORMED SUNDAY TIMES SENTINEL PEARL HARBOR ANNIVERSARY DINNER BY MILLISSIA RUSSELL mrussell@ mydarlytribune.com GALLIPOLIS - Sunday marks the 62nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the over 2,400 inen and women who lost their lives on that Dec. 7, 1941 morning will never be forgotten, said American Legion Post Commander Steve Swords. Japanese aircrews surprised American force s when they hit American ships and military installations on Oahu, Hawaii. shortly before 8:00 a.m. that day, destroying many ships · and aircraft before they had a chance to fight back. The attack lasted only two hours, but its effects were devastating. There were 188 American aircraft destroyed and 159 damaged, and twen· ty- one ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk or damaged. As a small tribute to the men and women who died that day, a chili dinner will be held beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, at the American Legion building on m McCormick Road Gallipolis. Legion members and Local WWII Veterans and their families are invited 10 the free dinner, Swords said. · "We just haven't seen anyone else doing anything to remember this important day," he sa id. "It's just a reminder of what happened, people can' t forget." Swords said they Legion hosted a similar dinner last year, and hope to make it an annual event. "We just want to give these · ve terans an opportunity to get together and social ize," he said. "There are fewer and fewer of them every day."

With fi rst-year coach Marvin Lewis leading the way. the Bengals have shed their reputation as the Bungles in remarkable fashion. By winning six of seven and four in a row - the last two on the road - Cincinnati (7-5) has moved into contention for its first postseason berth since 1990. Standing in the way are the Ravens (7-S), who host the Bengals on Sunday .in a matchup for first place in the AFC North. "Marvin has done a phenomenal job, and I think everybody in the cou~try is excited that Cincinnati has a team that has this kind of viability," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. " But we can't let that distract us. If we· re fortu nate enough to win, then we're just going to be those bad • Baltimore Bullies again , the guys that are killing this great national story." The . saga of the 2003 Bengals read s like unfathomable fiction : A ridi culed franchise tbat endured 12 consecutive years without a winning season, including 2-14 in 2002, becomes a contender under a spirited leader who long yearned for a team to call his own. And now, the Bengals ' biggest game in 13 years comes against a team Lewis helped win a Super Bowl in 200 I as its defensive coordinator. The star of that world chamrionship team was middle linebacker Ray Lewi s, who isn' t exa~tly awash witti sentiment at the prospect of hooking up with his former coach. "They 're having a good season ; Marvin has done a great job getting it turned around," Ray Lewi s said . "But it' s simple enough - now they have to come to Baltimore. We'll be waiting for them." VVhen the teams played in October, Cincinnati took advantage of three turnovers in a 34-26 victory. As the game drew to a close, Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna told Ray Lewis he was going to take a knee to run out the clock. Cinc innati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis hugs Baltimore Ravens' Jamal Lewis, left, and Travis Taylor after their game in CinCinnati Oct. 19. The Benga ls' biggest game 'in 13 years comes today against the Ravens , in a matchup for first place in the AFC North. Ma rvin Lewis helped the Ravens w1n a Super Bowl 111 2001 as its defensive coordinator. (AP) Lewis replied, "The same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry. Don 't ask for all those turnovers and ·don' t ask for 'us to drop interceptions the next time. I can promi se you we won't." Kitna threw for 244 yards and three touchdown passes without an interception during a truly memorable afternoon. But the Bengal s haven 't won in Baltimore since 1996, and the Ravens are 5- l at home this season. "They know what happens when they come to play us in Baltimore." Ray Lewi s said. " It's not that we're boasting or talking trash. It's simple: Teams don't play well when they come see the Ravens at home. So come see . us again here, because tbis time we ' re playing ticked off." With a victory, the Bengals can secure the first tiebreaker in determining divi sion cham.,. pion: head-to-head re sults . Standing in the way is a . AP I .I defense that had four interceptions last week in a'44-6 rout of San Francisco. "They're the most confusing team I've ever played against in the NFL," Kitna said . "That's what makes it tough playing against them at their place. It's already tough to communicate verbally with your teammates, and they do all the things they do to create more confusion ." Running against the Ravens is never easy, no matter where the game is played, so Cincinnati will probably have to count -on Kitna to move the ball. Receivers Chad John son and Peter Warrick both scored touchdowns in the first game. and enter the rematch confident of doing the same. "Me and Pete, we're like 711 , we ' re like the Waffle House: We' re always .open," Johnso'h said . "So it makes Kit 's job real easy. It doesn 't get no better than that." Before this season, the . Bengals were little more than a break in the schedule for the Ravens, 9-1 against Cincinnati since 1997. Now, with Marv.in Lewis on the opposite sideline and the stakes so high, Billick sees this as a budding rivalry. "Rivalries are built when one someone wins or loses, it costs you something. and it 's important. That's not alwa ys been the case with Baltimore- Cincin na ti ." Bill ick >aid . "Marvi n\ got them playing well and confident. \0 thi' i' a great. e.xtcndcd rivalry that should butl d from thi' point forw ard." WE NOW SELL • NEW TIRES!! .

Not this month , not thi $ season. The Steelers (4-8) are effectively playing out the string now that a rest-of-theseason winning streak would only get them to .500. That's a huge letdown for a team that was the overwhelming favorite in the AFC North following consecutive doubledigit victory seasons ( 13-3 in 2001, 10-5-1 last·season). No, this ti me, the moti vation must come from their families, their checkbooks, that Hummer they're driving or that new liousc they want to buy. Even if the standings don't give them a reason to keep playi ng, their fin ancial . advisers can offer numerous reasons why this final month of a discouraging season is very important. Tommy Maddox, for example, is playing for longterm financial stability. His $650,000 base salary is less than the Pirates paid utility infielder Abraham Nunez in 2003, and there are no assurances the Steelers are ready to g ive their quarterback a big-money deal. When they decl ined to renegot iate the .contract he signed as a backu·p, the Steelers all but said they wanted to see the 32-year-old Maddox be prodUf'tive for an entire season. So 1ar, they 've 'yet to see it, though Maddox often has been the least of the Steelers' problems.

The number of deer killed during last year's four-day "primitive blac kpowder'" season was the highest on record in the state, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. The season will run from Dec . 27-30 for hunters armed with longbow, crossbow, muzzleloading rifle in .38-caliber .or larger. or muzzleloading shotg un of 10-. 12, 16-. 20-, 28- or .4 10-gauge using one ball per barrel. Open in al l 88 of Ohio's counties, the primitive weapons season offers more trad itional hunters a chance to have the woods to themse lves and practice their craft of using a weapon of days go ne by. The existence of gu npowder was first made known to the We ste rn world in the 13th century. It took almost 300 years befo re American hunters finally regarded thi s new substance ser iou sly enough to fashion firearms from it. "Has (snowboarding) overtaken skiing? No. But it's still 25 to 30 percent bf our business:' BY GEORGE GANNON It was an additional 200 years Bv BRUCE H. DAWSON the bacon . Early firearms were crude, unreliable and erratic shoot ing cousins of today·s modern front loaders. Early rifl es were flint locks requiring the systematic loadin g of a primer or ignition source, powder, a round or sphericalshaped ball. all placed down the barrel. with the help of a ramrod . Then the hunter would take to the woods, carryi ng a loaded and primed weapon. One shot was it , and this was a systematic shot as the hunter would first ignite the primer or cap , which would then ignite the powder charge result ing in the firing of the ball toward the intended target. Muzzleloaders are obvious by the di stinctive "' bang" of the cap ig niting. followed by a momentary pause when the powder igni tq and then a much louder and deeper percussion "BANG" produc ing a cloud of black smoke. Sometimes the smoke is so thi ck the shooter needs to wai t for it to clear before being able to see if the intended game was hit. CHARLESTON, W.Va. - In the old days, when young kids were ready to tackle a snow sport, they would hit the slopes on a pair of skis. That, it seems, is no longer the case. Though the sport is not new, it seems the slopes these days are crammed with snowboarders, most of whom are younger than everyone else. Joe Stevens, the market ing director at Snowshoe Mountain Resort, said the numbers are not staggering, but snowboarding is the one area of the snow sports industry where there has been no derline since the earl y 1990s. "Has it overtaken skiing? No," Stevens said. "But it's still 25 to 30 percent of our business." Stevens ·said it see ms to be most popular with the younger set. He's seen kids as young as· 18 months on boards. And Snowshoe has ..taken some extra steps thi s year to give the freesty le aspect of the sport more of a prese nce on the mountain. The resort has expanded its ter. rain park, adding all sorts of the new feature s ·to the Spruce Glades park. Bob Snyder, Spruce Glades ter- - Snowshoe Mountain Resort marking director Joe Stevens rain manager. said he sees all ages at the park, but he has noticed quite a few younger riders. He attributes the sport's increased popularity to a number of factors. "The exposure that snowboarding is getting on the X-games, movies and even commercials is tre mendou s. ·It co uld also be word of mouth . (Boarders) have friend s who do it, so th ey'll give it a try as well," he said. He added that kids can easily identify wi th some of the best profess ional snowboarders, so me of whom are as you ng as 15. Snyder believes what attracts the kids to the sport and 'W hat keeps them at it co uld be two different things . While the media hype might ope n the door, good, old-fashioned fun ,keeps them on the slopes. "(They) like hanging out with friends and havi ng fu n; getting out and getti ng big groups together and going out riding. It' s a fun feeling ," he said. Scott Cable, owner of Balzout, a Dunbar-based apparel manufacturer. said his 11 -year-old son, Alec, started skiing when h~ was 3, but was on a snow board by the time he turned 7. "He's a very, very good snowboarder,'' Cable said. "C upp Run is nothing to him . He can tear it up." Cupp Run is thought to be Snowshoe's most challenging run. Cable said many of his son' s fr iends interested in snow sports are opti ng for one board over two. He credits the freedom of the sport. Someone who likes to ride fast can stick to the downhill s, while a boarder who wants to do jumps and trick s can navigate the halfpipe or terrain park.

AM/FM ,ooal .. .. �. . . .. .-. - - 6unbap limtl·iintinel YOUR HOMETOWN Trustss--The Estate Planner's Best Friend Trusts are legal arrangements by which you place assets in trust with another person (although you can also usually hold this position) for the benefit of others, who are called beneficiaries. A living trust is created while you're living. A testamentary trust is created after death. Because a trust reflects your personal wishes and desires for the administration and/or disbursement of your assets in the event of your death or incapacity, a trust agreement must be carefully drafted. There are too many trust variations to be listed in this arti. cle; however. an overview of a few of the more common uses should be helpful. I recommended in my first article that everyone who pl<fns to leave assets to a person who is not yet mature 10 responsibly handle the assets should have a contingen t trust provision for those gifts in their wills. If you are in doubt as to whether your will has one of these provisions, a review of your will may be needed. If you don't find the word "trust" anywhere in the will, your will does not have one of these provisions. Also, trusts are an indispensable instrument for reducing your estate tax liability if you have accumulated substantial wealth. You may design a revocable living trust that allows you to change your beneficiaries and who manages your assets up until the time of your death. Or, you can create an irrevocable trust that cannot be modified, adjusted, or terminated once established. Any trust, because it has an independent legal existence apart from its creator, must have a federal ID number for taxes and its own bank account. I read an article not too long ago in which the author argued that something like seventy, five percent of trusts are created unnecessarily because the grantors usually James Henry don't have enough assets to trigger the' federal estate tax. This, in large pa11, is probably true if the only thing you're concerned with is the estate tax consequence. However, tru sts can be used to protect and provide for your family even when your assets are not extraordinary. For instance, if you are married to a spo!,lse who is not the parent of one or more of your children, a trust may be necessary. Not too long ago, I was planning the estate of a client who told me of the troubles that her husband had experienced .when his father had passed away. It appears that her father-in-law had remarried later in life to a woman who was capable of supporting herself. He wanted to leave the enti rety of his estate, with the exception of a modest cash gift to his wife, to his children. After his death, hi s wife, by power of statute, was able to "elect" against his will and take a predetermined statutory percentage of the total taxable estate that resulted in over $250,000 being taken from his children's share . If he had set up a trust for his assets, he would have been able to prevent hi s wife from taking against the trust because, remember, trust are their own legal entities - in Ohio, a surviving spouse has no right to invade a trust even if that results in him or her being left penniless. And you thought this article would be useless! I just told you a way to keep your new "trophy spouse" from taking your kids inheritance ... isn't the law a marvelous thing? Some other reasons for the use of trusts are the avoidance of probate, the minimization of taxes, protecting your assets in the event of your incapacity, and the confidentiality associated with trusts as opposed to wills which are pljblic documents. However, trusts are not without their downside. Because they are often complicated documents that involve much preparation, you can usually expect to pay around ten times the amount to set up a trust as you would pay to have a will prepared and there will be fees to maintain the trust even after it is first estab li shed . Nevertheless, trusts can end · up being less expensive for you in the long run because the assets in the trust wi II avoid probate and the fees associated with probating those assets once you pass away. Because those assets are held by a trust that continues to operate after your death. there will be no need to probate those assets. This could potentially save you thousands in attorney fees after yo ur death. Planning and creating a trust ahead of time can help you to minimize the expenses that will come out of the assets you leave your loved. ones when your time comes while at the same time assuring that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes.

' ' Don't let holiday weight gain add up Although most people they gain a few ,_n • weeks between a1iksgiving and New Year's, a study published in 2000 in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that fewer than I0 percent of the 195 people in the >tudy gained five pounds or more during the holidays. On average, tile participants tended to think they gained four times as much as they actually did. The overall average gain was · less than a pound. However, even slight gains in weight during the holidays can add up over the years if they're not shed at other times of the year. All but 30 of the participants returned for weigh-in the following fall, and researchers found that most people did not lose' that weight in the intervening months. In fact, of the average 1.4-pound weight gain over the whole year, about half of the gain occurred during the sixweek holiday period, the researchers reported.

The percentile rating ranks HMC in the lop 10 percent for patient satisfaction among 315 simi Jar hospitals across the nation. Press Ganey was founded in 1985 by Irwin Press. Ph.D. and Rodney F. Ganey. Ph.D. to provide information essential to the assess'ment 1111d enhancement of the health care experience. Press is an anthropologist and leading expert in patient satisfaction, while Ganey is a research methodologist. The idea for the firm came as a result of Press' original consultative work with health care professionals regarding patient relatiof)s, risk man agement and quality improvement. During these sessions, he was repeatedly asked to advise hospital managers about patient satisfaction surveys. Press and Ganey responded to the needs by developing an accurate, costeffective and user- friendly mechanism for contin~ously monitoring the quality of care - the Press Ganey survey. Hol zer Medical Center began using Press Ganey surveys in the mid-1990s. Currently, HMC utilizes three survey s throughout the facility. Inpatient surveys, mailed to all patients admitted to the hospital, are compared with 315 other hospitals nationwide; Emergency Department surveys, for outpatients who were given emergency care, are compared with 127 Emergency Departments in the country; and Rehab surveys, for . patients of the Hospital 's Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, compared with 119 Rehab facilities in the Uhited States. · Surveys are . mailed to patients a few days after discharge, and cover a variety of questions regarding their stay. Patients can rank from I (very poor) to 5 ( verf good), and are able to include written com- ,. ments if they desire. Once surveys are received at Holzer Medical Center, they are forwarded 'to Press Ganey Headquarters in South Bend, Ind., where they are compared with HMC's peer groups, Comparable results and percentile ratings are reported to Holzer Medical Center quarterly. The hospital reviews the results and shares with staff throughout the facility to improve patient care and satisfaction . The Medical Center . encourages patients who receive the survey to complete the. form .so that concerns can be addressed 'and positive experiences recognized. ."The Press Ganey surveys are an important tool for us to reinforce what we do well and improve where we fall short of meeting expectations," said LaMar Wyse, president of Holzer Medical Center. "Feedback from our patients is very important to the success of our organization as we strive to deliver the Holzer Difference 'each and every day." PageC2 Special to the Times-Sentinel The 200th anniversary of the Lewis & Clark expedition is being observed from 2003 until 2006. II was in February 1803 that President Thomas Jefferson received permission and funding for an expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase. Scholars often ignore the first leg of the Lewis & Clark expedition that saw the party go from Pittsburgh to the Illinois Territory. These writers put all of the emphasis instead on the journey from Illinois up the Missouri River and later the Columbia River that started on May 14, 1804. Meriweather Lewis, Jefferson's personal secretary was hand-picked by the president for this scientific and map-making journey, and actually started the trek in Washington. He then proceeded to Harper's Ferry and Pittsburgh. In these places, Lewis bought supplies, including weapons and medicines. The 55-foot keelboat that later made it 10 the Pacific Ocean was actually made in Pittsburgh as were the 2 small pirogues that also made the adventure. It is hard to believe how shallow the Ohio River was in the 19th .century; some years being scarcely 6 inches deep in late summer and early fall. It must have been a dry season iri 1803 for Lewis wrote in his journal: · "When the Ohio is in its present state there are many obstructions to its navigation, formed by bars of small stones, which in some instances are intermixed with, and partially cover large quantities of driftwood; these bars frequently extend themselves entirely across the bed of the river, over many of them I found it impossible to pass even with my empty boat." Near Marietta, Lewis told in his journal how he had to cut a canal through 4 or 5 sandbars before he could proceed. It took him one hour to cut a channel of 50 feet. However, when driftwood became interspersed with the gravel and sand, he had to hire oxen to pull the boats over the bars. About some of those farmers from whom Lewis leased oxen he wrote that they have no philanthropy nor conscience, so much did they charge him. Unfortunately, Lewis' journal ends in what is now northern Meigs County and does not start up again until he reaches Cincmnati. But it would have been logical for him to have stayed a day or so in the Old French City as Gallipolis was one of only .about 5 major settlements between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in 1803. Besides the low water, Lewis had problems with drinking and disease. Lewis records that a Dr. Patterson at Wheeling volunteered to go with the Lewis expedition as a doctor, but when it was lime to leave, Patterson was in a drunken stupor. Drunkenness was a severe problem in the early going for Lewis with his own men. While passing by what is today Meigs County, Lewis rioted how the fever and ague and bilious fevers caused many of the Ohio pioneers to become sick and die. Malaria was endemic to the Ohio River Valley but Lewis carried with him several pounds of Peruvian bark, which would later come to be the major remedy for the effects of malaria. Most of the early settlers were treated with other medicines at that time and they did not work as well as Peruvian bark. At several points Lewis comments on the flora and fauna of frontier Ohio. He saw millions of passenger pigeons flying overhead from north to south on their annual migration. Lewis said there were so many of them that they obscured the sun . Lewis also noticed squirrels by the thousands swimming the Ohio River from north to south. He did not know why they did this, as there were plenty of nuts on both sides of the Ohio. Lewis sent out his dog Seaman to fetch a squirrel. In due course old Seaman had fetched enough squirrels for Lewis to fry for all 'ofhis men. "They were fat and I thought a pleasant food," wrote Lewis. By late November 1803, the Lewis expedition had reached the mouth of the Ohio Ri ver and headed up the Mississippi River to the Illinois Territory to join Clark and the soldiers that Clark had recruited. Here Lewis and Clark went into winter camp. ..• • Why is it that we seem to have ltttle trouble bowing to our more spiritual sides during the holidays, but then just as easily, tuck them away soon after the year starts anew? I don't know about you, but I suspect, in part, it's because our culture allows us to acknowledge our faith more openly in tlie guise of holiday good cheer. Yet after the obvtous symbols of the holidays are neatly stored away : the gold apd silver greeting cards ripped from their archways (the remnants of scotch-tape clinging aggressively to the woodwork), every bit of , \unt Thelma's sickening-sweet fruitcake happily fed 10 the family dog, and for some. the yards of wired icicles detached from the g utters, we return to our place in this world with a business-asusual spirit until we are summoned once again when late·autumn returns. Maybe what we yearn for. albeit secretly, is for some inspirational direction. The inspirational fiction genre is one of the fastest-growing segments of the book market and it is easy to understand why. One such author of this market is Paula F. Blevins. Paula who? While her name may not yet be well-known to the mass readership on the order of John Gnsham or Mary Higgins Clark, her insptrational mystery series are uniquely her own. Blevins states, "I have always 'loved mysteries, so I took on the chalfenge of writing mysteries within the Christian framework." .. Diane NaderEpling A mother of three, with a degree in Spanish and French secondary education, Paula is no stranger to the power of language and its effect on youth. In her book "The Way Home" (Book I in the 'For Hymn Mystery Series'), Blevins cleverly weaves the powerful ly rics of "Amazing ·Grace" throughout her story line - a set of lyrics used to set the tone in each of the book's three parts.The central characters, Elizabeth and · ~yan, are engaged, with the wedding fast approaching . Elizabeth's past has begun to catch,up wtth her, wreaking havoc with her already strongly-held doubts abou t her religious faith and threatening the security of her future with Ryan -whose unwavering faith in God is refreshfngly apparent. I must say, that early on, my doubts about this book were equall y-matc hed in strength to Elizabeth's, but with each chapter. and these are short (3 - 4 pgs.). my doubts melted away. Blevins remarked, "I began writing these for the adult Christian woman, but found that people were telling me they were buying them for their teen and youthaged girl s." I'm not surprised . I think that is why I had some difficulty relating to the characters early-on. The language reads more for this age group than perhaps for an older, more experienced woman. but the story did manage to strike an emotional chord with my cynical side, and that was, perhaps, its mission. Teens and youth, however, will easily relate to the story's central characters ·and should have little trouble transferring the lessons of faith to their own life challenges . The story provides a positive Christian message that is sorely lacking 111 todats teen and youth market. ' The Way Home" succeeds in reminding us that faith equals patience; and the. ability to relinquish oneself from the false belief that we can control most everything in our lives, is central to ones commitment to it. This holiday season, check out "The Way Home" by Paula F. Blevins. Far less costly than an Onstar tracking device, it may just help you find your way home.Note: Paula will be signing this and her new book "Come to Me" (Book II in this series" at the Samuel L Bossard Library on Dec. 13 from 2-4pm.

"' 'Winner of the National Book Award,' by Jincy Willett is the story of two sisters. fraternal twins, who couldn't be more different. It may remind you somewhat of 'Cain and Able' or ·East of Eden.' This is a lot lighter story than those. The bookish celibate librarian sister is Dorcas, living a quiet, dignified life. Her twin, Abigail, is a sensuous woman 'of enormous appetites.' They both live in a small Rhode 'Island town which attracts academic types and writers. A new man moves into town , the calculating and charming . Conrad Lowe, who is described as tall and ' whippet thin.' He is attracted to . BOTH sisters for different reasons. Eventually he marries Abigail, convinces her to nearly starve herself to get thin, and is constantly sarcastic and mean. There is some good writing in this novel, especially when Dorcas tries to explain herself. She says, ' It was possible to live an imagined life. and to live it fully. To dwell within one's own mind, and, through books, the minds of others." "I do have a reputation, locally, as something of an intellectual, but this is wrong. I am si mply an omnivorous reader, and like all good omnivores, I take my pleasures where I find them. In my real _life, my inner life, I am as great a sensualist as my sister." Does this sound a bit like something Emily Dickinson might have said? This is dark subject matter, and nasty Conrad is murdered. Full of wise-cracks Beverly Gettles and black humor, thi s is witty and funny and intelligent writing, but it is not for everyone . Would need a n 'R' rating for several reasons. John Updike is not only an excellent novelist ( ' Rabbit of Run ,' 'Witches Eastwick.' ) but al so an excellent literary <:ritic . In 'Hugging the Shore.' a col · lection of his criticism, he discusses such dive"e authors as Hemingway. Hawthorne; the poet Auden and Anne Tyler. I love Anne Tyler's novels, mostly located in the row houses of Baltimore, of ordinary families with lovable quirks and foibles. The in ·Breathing mother Lessons.' reminded me of an aunt, meddling but concerned. One of my favorites is 'Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant,' featuring the Tull family. Mother Pearl is 85 and dying . She was single until 30, then hastily married a 24-year-old tra veling salesman. After six years of marriage, and three children, Beck Tull announced he was leaving. Pearl never tells the ·children. he isn't corning back, gets a job in a nearby grocery, and raises her chi!. dren alone, with only an . occasional contribution by mail from the missing hu ~­ band .

If the Kia badge weren't on the new 2004 Amanti, chances are consumers would never guess that thi s well~quipped, stylish sedan was from the South Korean automaker known for lowpriced cars. Indeed, in consumer clinics, the Amanti - whose front styling with four elliptical headlamps is similar to that of the previou s Mercedes- Benz E-Class was often thought to be a IO!Iropean car, according to Kia officials. But with a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $25,535, this largest and' priciest Kia auto is designed to attract shoppers looking for a V6-powered, full -size sedan at a mainstream price, such as the 2004 Toyota Avalon, which srarts at $26,560. : It's also aimed at buyers of imported cars like the Hond!l Accord V6 sedan, who might find the mid-size Accord a bit too small.

'THE LAST SAMURAI' De,pite the sweepi ng land'capes of "The Last Samurai." its epic battle scenes and the simple beauty of its Eastern philosophy, it's hard npt to he distrac ted by the nagging feeling that yoL've seen this film before. That's because you have in 1990, to he exact, when it starred Kevin Costner and was ca lled " Dances With Wolves." Tom Cruise stars as Capt. Nathan Algren. a drunk, bitter Civil War veteran who's recrui ted to go to Japan to train soldiers to fight the ,a murai , who cling rebelliously to their traditional ways amid increasing Westernization. Algren himse lf ends up in a batt le with these warriors, then is kidnapped by them and introduced to their culture. "They are an intriguing people," he scribbles in hi s jOLtrnal after he's sobered up and no longer has the shakes . ." ! have never seen such discipl ine.'' So you see where this is going: Algre n will gain an appreciation for the samurai and become one of them. just as Costner's lieutenant character took on a Sioux name, joined their tribe and got it on • wi th Stands With a Fist. As Algren enthusiastically learns the Japanese words for rice arid chopsticks, you half expect him to spot a buffalo outside and blurt out "Tutonka!" Cruise is al so essentially playi ng the same guy he's played in nearly every movie. from "Top Gun'' to "Jerry Maguire" to "Vanilla Sky." He's cocky, he gets his comeuppance and, in the process. find s humility. So you could just as easily imagine him blurting out "Show me the · money." and that wouldn't seem out of place, either. This is a joke. "Th~ Last Sam urai ," however, is all business, very much a faith fu I throw back to the Ku rosawa films that director Edward Zwick ("Glory,'' "Lege nds of the Fall") and Cruise himse lf revere. The script, which Zwick co-wrote with John Logan and Marshall Herskovitz, is heavy with talk of destiny and honor; characters use the las t breath in their bodies to say the most poignant thing at the most dramatic possible moment. It may seem corny, but anything Jess would be a watered-down Hollywoodi zation . " I will die by the sword my own or my enemy's," says Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe). the samurai leader who initially is curious about Algren because he wa nts to learn about hi s enemy, but later accepts the American as a friend. · The film really picks up as Algren and Katsumoto spend more time together. Each has an almost boyish enthusiasm about soaking up the other's culture, and Watanabe has a chari smatic, formidable presence that makes him hard to res ist. Algren also · becomes intrig ued by the beautifu l Taka (model-actress Koyuki), the wife of a warrior he killed in battle who reluctantly takes him into her home. And here 's where the film · does get unnecessarily Hollywoodized: Taka serves him , defiantly yet quietly, since he 's her guest. Bu,t eventually, she and Algren secretly fall for each other, and a kiss they share toward the end seems totally out of place. This is a minor quibble, though. Far more important is the film 's lush cinematography from ~o h_n Toll, who also shot ~rave hea rt ," which "The Las~amurai " resembles during it hunderous battle scenes.' Bathed in blood. mud and mist, they are brutal and evocative. But they're also incredibly refreshing and PageC6 . Ria Clmtrt .

In addition, the Amanti's owner's manual recommends children in rear outboard seats be properly restrained ·in child seats that are as far from the door as possible and that all passengers sit upright. The seat-mounted airbags - fo und in outboard seats in front and back - are part of a system of eight airbags in the Amanti.

HANEY Associated Press Medical Editor takes four mo nths. Bv that time, the flu season wo-uld be o ver. With the nation 's supply of flu shots dmpping rapidly and at least 13 states facing an unusually severe flu outbreak, doctors are urging . healthy people to opt for a nasal-spray version of the vaccine and save the traditional one for children and the elderly. "If you ' re healthy, you have two options: Please take the option that the other folks . can't have," said Dr. William Schaffner of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. The nasal spray is recommended only for heal thy people ages 5-49, and doctors began pushing it as an alternative to the traditional vaccine Friday, after the two makers of flu shots in the United States announced they have run out and will not be able to meet a surge in demand resulting from fears of a particularly bad season. Nevertheless, the companies said people who have put off getting their shots may still be able to find them, since distributors and doctors' offices may still have some left. The companies, Chiron and Aventis Pasteur, together made about 80 million doses of the injected vaccine, which ordinarily would be enough to meet U.S. demand. "Because of the recent outbreak, we've seen an unprecedented surge of vaccine orders late in the season," said Len Lavenda, an Aventis spokesman. "As a result, we have now. shipped all our available supplies." "It's all been shipped out," said Chiron's John Gallagher. "We began shipping in August. It's all gone at this point. 'l 'The companies said they cannot make more vaccine this year, because the process The nasal -spray alternative is FluMist , a more expensive, inhaled version of the vaccine . Its maker, Medlmmune Vaccines , made between 4 million and 5 million do ses this year. Spokeswoman Jamie Lacey said that as of Nov. 18, the company had .sold 400,000 doses. and "there 1s sti ll a wide supply available., The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that in a typical year, between 70 million and 75 million Americans get the shots, and the record is 80 million. Dr. Julie Gerberding, the CDC head, said that this year more people than usual got flu shots in October and November, and there is unusually high interest in December. The CDC said it is not unusual for supplies to run short this time of year, as ·health care providers stop giving vaccinations. The agency said it is working to locate supplies that can be sent where they are needed. "What we are telling people is there is still vaccine in the pipeline, although we are not sure how much," Lavenda said. "People Who want to get a flu shot this year should not wait any longer. They will have to be persistent." In Colorado's El Paso County, health director Rosemary Bakes-Martin said her agency hoped to order 2,000 doses this week but could come up with just 500 from suppliers. "The story they· re telling us is that they weren ' t expecting this shortage. that they were hit with increased orders in the last week," she said. The sudden late demand for flu shots was triggered by reports of an especiall y bad PageD2 flu season, especially for children. The outbreak was particularly intense in Colorado, where within the past month, more than 6,300 people have been infected and at least six have died. All the dead were under 16 years old. Colorado is one of 13 states with a . widespread flu outbreak, the highest designation given by the CDC. The others are Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The flu also is being blamed for the deaths of three children in Texas and one · each in Oklahoma and New Mexico. In Nebraska, doctors' offices are using up their supply, and the Lancaster County Health Department became the fjrst department in the state to run out of the shots Friday. The department has given more than 7,500 doses to the public, and so far hasn't been able to obtain more, its director Bruce Dart said. "People are realizing that this winter has the!otential to be very bad an they're trying to find access to the flu shot wherever they can get it," ·. said Dr. Richard Raymond, Nebraska's chief medical officer. Even before this year's deaths, there were signs this could be a bad flu season. Some parts of the country were hit hard a month earlier than usual, and doctors are seeing the A-Fujian-H3N2 strain, part of a class of flu viruses that caused severe outbreaks in the United States in the 1990s. Even though health officials urge people to get their shots, it is still not clear how effective they will be against this strain, which is somewhat different from the three that this year ' s vaccine ts designed to combat.
