I Bengals back in first Prep Scoreboard place in AFC North Boys Basketball Lakeside Danbury 65, Castalia MargEuena 51 CINCINNATI (AP) - Jon Kitna wouldn't tolerate a downcast locker room. The Ben11als pulled off a win like no other in franchise history, positiomng themselves to move back into first place Sunday. As they trudged off the frosty field, they smiled very little and said even less. Kitna quickly reminded them that a 41-38 victory over the San Francisco 49ers represented a breakthrough. At 8-6, they're guaranteed that this won't be yet another losing season. . And, when Baltimore lost a few hours later. they got back a share of first place in the AFC North with only two games to go. A dour locker room? No way. " I just wanted to make sure they understood that we did win the game," · said Kitna, who threw two touchdown passes. "They were a little solemn in there. That 's a big win for us. We didn't play our best, but the bottom line is winning." They didn't even come close to their best on defense. giving up 502 yards and 31 first downs. But. for the first time in their 36-year history, the Bengals won a game while givi ng up 38 points. "For the most part, in the second half they dominated," said linebacker Kevin Hardy, who returned a fumble for a ftrst-half touchdown. "It 's disappointing . It was a rough afternoon. "We won. That's all I can take away from it." The 49ers (6-8) headed home the way they have all seasonunable to explain another bad day in someone else's place. It was fitting that the defending NFC West champions were eliminated from contention far away from home. They've played seven. games on the road this season. and lost all of them. Not even an extra sens.e of resolve could change the outcome. "The guys were intense," defensive end Chidi Ahanotu said. "We were excited and barking on the sideline and having a good time. The offense responded to it, the defense didn't." That's how it's !lone all season long. Whenever the 49ers leave home, the mistakes multiply and one phase of the team has a bad day, dragging them down. "We've been looking for that answer all season long," said Jeff Garcia, who completed 26 of 33 passes for 344 yards and led a fourth-quarter comeback. "Somehow we need to show ur, on the same page on the same day, the offense and the defense. ' The Bengals took advantage of three fumbles and put the game in the hands of two offensive players who share the same last name but couldn't be more different. Rudi Johnson took over for an ill Corey Dillon and ran for 17 4 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns. He also caught an onside kick in the closing seconds to clinch it. "I got into a groove in the third quarter, and I was able to stay in it forthe nest of the game," said the soft-spoken Johnson, who had 163 yards in the second half. Showboat receiver Chad Johnson made the game's signature play - one that he hopes will rival the NFL's most infamous signature play. After his I Ocyard touchdown catch on the Bengals' first possession, he ran out of the end zone and retrieved a preprinted sign stored behind a snow drift. · Johnson, who has repeatedly been tined by the league for uniform violations and touchdown celebrations, then held up the orange sign that read: "Dear NFL: Please don 't fine me again." "All I had to do was just score atthat end and I'd be all right," he said. "I was trying to catch the Sharpie thing. I don "t know how close the sign was to the Sharpie." Last season, 49ers receiver Terrell Owens was fined for pulling a pen out of his sock and autographing a ball after a touchdown. On Sunday, Owens scored a touchdown on a 58yard reception, then crouched and flipped a little snow up into the stands. Chad Johnson wasn't impressed with the comeback. "That's what he did?" Johnson said. "Man, that's rude." Red men from Page 6 13 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Cougars (7-4, 1-0 AMC South). "We didn't have anybody defend (Dunn) all night," said Thomas. Matt Simpson led the Red men (6-4, 0-1) with 16 points off the bench, iocluding nine points during a three minute span in the second half that kept Rio in the lead. "Matt Simpson came in and kind of sparked us ," said Thomas. "He got a couple of baskets and showed some aggressiveness." . Seth Deerfie ld added 14 points for Rio Grande , while Sean Plummer scored 13 points. Deerfield and Plummer also hauled down 10 boards each. Kris Wilson had . three 3-point goals for nine points . The Redmen 'regained the lead with 45 seconds on the clock on a driving lay-up by Deerfield, but 20 seconds later, Mount Vernon 's Ryan Seesholtz found himself all alone inside as his lay-up tied the game and helped force the OT. In overtime, neither team scored for the first 2:30 of the five minute period .

RSVP Seniors in Schools program. About 250 third graders in Eastern, Meigs and Southern participated in a special holiday project where each student created a beautiful Christmas tree ornament to take home. Working on blocks of wood and using a hammer and nails the youngsters make indentations or holes in gold-colored jar lids to create a design, usually a star. Once the design was completed, then backing with an extended lace edge was attached along with a red ribbon loop to serve as a tree hanger. lin punching is one of several pioneer skills taught by the RSVP volunteers to the younger generation during the regular school year. An emphasis of the Seniors in Schools program is to acquaint th ird graders with life style and skills of a century ago along with a history of Meigs County. This is done through study books prepared by senior volunteers as well as trips to mu se ums and historic landmarks. The program is financed through a special federal grant written by Diana Coates, RSVP director. Supplies for projects. transportation for outings, and mileage for the volunteers are handled with grant momes. -• ·-.._,_,..... ..

Diane K. Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor VIEW GUEST Prescriptions Ohios best Rx to provide substantial savings on presaiption dmgs to Ohio seniors, uninsured As the Senate wrapped ttp session for 2003. a very importantpiece of leg islation was passed by the Genet'al Assembly this week. 'Talking with cons ti tuents. it 's not hard to real ize that one of the most important issues facing Ohioans is the cost of prescription drugs. And based on the fact that changes . were just made to the federal Medicare program to include prescription drug covera~ e. this is an issue that affects the entire nation as welL According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), total prescription drug spending in the U.S. grew by 13 percent per year between 1993 and 2000. It is expected to grow by about 12 percent per year through 20 II. Too many seniors are forced to take actions like goi ng on bus trips to Canada to purchase medication, or taking half doses of their prescription to save money. Fortunately, the Senate passed House Bill 133 this week legislation that will create Ohio's Best Rx Program , a statewide prescription drug discount program for senior citize ns and the uninsured. The program is available to eligible individual s and families who have no alternative prescription drug coverage. The Legislature has sent HB 133 to the Governor for his signature, and when implemented, Ohio's Best Rx is to be designed to provide a discount on prescription drug prices. This legislation was the result ofa bi-partisan compromise between all interested parties such as the unions. churches, senior citizen advocates; legislators and Governor Taft. Also involved was the pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, pharmacies and health care providers. Although this legis lation passed overwhelmingly, it was not an easy vote for me., As the bill received heari ngs in the Senate Finance Commi ttee, I start ed to realize all th e compli cations behind the world of prescription drugs. The way medications are deli vered and how th ey are priced see m to rival the plot of the movie 'The Matrix.' It was difficult to determine how the discounts wou ld be negotiated ·with pharmaceutical companies, and we had to take into account the average family\ ability to pay for medi cation in co ntrast with the medical benefit they receive fro m that medication. There were also so me concerns from the pharmacies themselves especially the small, locally owned stores who are understandabl y concerned about los ing revenue as a result of offering these discounts. I have talked to many in the district who are concerned that this legislation may be just another way to put the economic squeeze to them. The locally owned pharmacy that I we nt to when I was a kid is gone and I do not want to see any more disappear. I was pleased that we were able to address many of the se concerns in the fin al version of the bill. Although the pharmacies are not completely happy, I believe that we reached a satisfac tory compromi se. The legislature may have to go back and revisit some of these concerns as th e program becomes implemented. Another concern is the effect on the state pension systems; the discounts from Ohio !,lest Rx are based on those given to retirees within the state pension systems. Most agree that this bill will not affect the system's ability to get discounts but there are those that have issued concerns and this will also be something that we will have to watch. Ohio's Best Rx is not an entitlement but a discou nt program that is not supposed to be a long-term drain on the state 's treas ury. It is not to be confused with the recen tly passed federal legislation for Medicare or Ohio's Golden Buckeye Card. There may be people who will have more than one of these options available to them and in that case they will need to test the market on each drug to see which program offers them the best benefits. It is a blessing that we have so many drugs ava ilable to help us to live longer and healthier lives, however their cost can sometimes be a curse. Too many people are struggling with the cost of prescri ption drugs and I believe the state legislature needs to do what it can to address this concern. Ohio's Best Rx will mean that many Ohioans will have greater access to prescription drugs at a more affordable price. Although I am concePned about the issues that the op ponents raised on this bill, -ultimately I must vote for what is best for my constituents. The clear choi ce for me was to pass a responsible piece of leg islation that will improve 'the quality of life for so many Ohioans. As always. I welcome your views on swte issttes.

Clinton was · a ' new Democrat,' a 'triangulator.' a centrist who could steal issues from the Republicans and appeal to Southerners and moderates as well as the traditional Democmtic ba'e vote. Gore. too, once was a moderate. a founder of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council and a hawk on forei gn policy. He's been mov ing left ever since he won the Democratic nomination in 2000 and that's cu lmi nated now in his partnership with Dean. Old Clinton hands think that Gore's endorsement in Harlem. where Bill Clinton has his ofticc - was also a down paymem on a possible second run for president in 2008, as an opponent of Sen. Hillary Rodham Cli nton, D-N.Y. Later in Iowa, boiling over with emotion, Gore declared that 'this nation has never in our two centuries made a worse foreign policy mistake than what George W. Bush made in putting our troops into that quagmire in Iraq. 'It was ·a horrible misj udgment. And therefore, it is not a minor matter to me that the candidate for the nomination .o f my party that had the good Morton Kondracke judgment, experience . and sense to feel and see and articulate the right choice was Howard Dean.' Dean was not only difterent from other major 2004 candidates in opposing the war - · he also differed from Sen. Clinton, who voted to authorize President Bush to go to war and then voted for the $87 billion to finance occupation and rewnstruction operations in the aftermath. Sen. Clinton appears to be setting herself up as a presidential candidate - Iike her husband - who can appeal to both the Democratic base that comprises 30-odd percent of the electorate and the Independent 40 percent that it takes to win general elections. Following Gore on the Harlem program, Dean made it clear that he's mainly about solidifying the base. not reaching out to Independents. ' In 2002, we lost a Jot of races in the Democratic party because we decided that we were going to go to .the swing votes and we were going to try to get them and our base was going to come along later on,' Dean said. 'I think it's important in this campaign that we recojlnize .those people who were wtth us l al l along,' he sat..J. ·And so we being a Clintonian centrist and made a conscious decision to became a 'people versus the stan with women, to start with powerfu l' populist.

Among the past prestigious judges have been Aoyd Abrams, a frequent free-speech-and-press lawyer before the Supreme Coun; Judith Krug. director of the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom; and Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union. Previous win.ners have included Anthony Lewis, longtime New York Times civil liberties expert; Studs Terkel, oral historian of Americans speaking freely; ·and John Siegenthaler, founder of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University. In 1980, I won the award for my book 'The First Freedom: The Tumultuous History of Free Speech' (Delacorte Press, 1980). Having received my ballot for the 2004 awards, I've decided to make my vote public in case the current panel of judges doesn't fully realize the source of the present and clear dangers to the First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights. No one in modern times has done more than John Ashcroft - though unintentional iy to inspire Americans to preserve and protect not only the First Amendment, but also the J1arts of the BiH of Rights that are interconnected with it.

Based on this formula, Charles has donated 216 pints (27 gallons) and saved "Our store has built back up to where we were before Wai-Mart came in," she said. "We were beating our competition. There are only a couple of other grocery stores in the area. By closing our store, they are just handing everything over to Wal-Mart on a si lver platter."

Gen. Mark Hertling said Monday. The intelligence that led the military to the men came from the first transcript of Saddam's initial interrogation, and a briefcase of documents Saddam carried with him at the time of his arrest, Hertling said. "We've already gleaned intelligence value from his capture," he said. U.S. commanders have predieted that the guerrillas may be spurred to fight even harder in the short term, perhaps onl y to prove that Saddam meant little to them. "Even if the head of the · snake is cut off, the rest of the snake continues to move for a while,'' Hertling said. "There may be an increasing desire to execute attacks." Underscoring his warning, suicide bombers attacked two police stations in the north and west of the capital on Monday. The car bombings left eight policemen dead and at least 17 wounded. , The attacks were the latest in a spate of suicide bombings this month aimed primarily at U.S. troops and members of · the U.S.-sponsored Iraqi security forces which the insurgents view as collaborators of the occupiers. In Tikrit, about 700 peQple rallied in the center of town chanting "Saddam is in our hearts, Saddam· is in our blood." U.S. soldiers and Iraqi policemen yelled back: "Saddam is in our jail." A scuffle ensued when security forces arrested the ringleader of the protest, and the demonstrators later dispersed. In Fallujab. another hotspot of anti -American resistance west of Baghdad, crowds roamed the streets shouting pro-Saddam slogans such as "We defend Saddam with our souls." After the Iraqi police withdrew from the streets, the crowd overran the mayor's office, a military statement said. · Foreign doctors graduate from .

Dr. Divina Grossman, director of the university's nursing school, said Marcial' experience is common.

(AP) - Lee Boyd Malvo was not mentally ill and knew right from wrong during last year's sniper shooting spree in the Washington, D.C.-area, two prosecution psychologists said. Their testimony Monday as rebuttal witpesses contradicted defense mental health experts who had described Malvo as malleable arx1 vulnerable to brainwashing by sniper rilastennind John Allen Muhammad: Defense attorneys say Malvo was insane at the time of the shootings because of indoctrination by Muhammad. The prosecution rested Monday. On Thesday, lawyers for both sides and Circuit Judge Jane Marum Roush were to work out jury instructions. Roush estimated . jurors would hear closing statements Tue sday afternoon, then begin deliberations. Psychologist Evan Nelson, )¥hO met with Malvo several limes last month for a total of 15 hours, said Muhammad "had a tremendous influence on this young person, absolutely." But it wasn't brainwash,ing, Nelson said ; instead, Malvo idolized Muhammad. "He felt like it was a pllrtnership," Nelson said. Nelson also said Malva's behavior, which included meticulous planning of the killings, "is the antithesis of someone who cannot control his impulses." Malvo was narcissistic and needed to feel superior, Nelson said. But Nelson disputed the idea that Malva's ability to "zone out" during a killing amounted to a mental illness. "In my opinion, he very clearly possessed the capacity to tell the difference between nght and wrong as he was committing these offenses," Nelson said. . Nelson also said Malva's repudiation of Muhammad this past summer may have been an · madvertent fonn of brainwashing at the hands of Malva's defense team, who persuaded him to reject Muhammad's teachings.

"If you ask me, we should have had I 0 or II All-Americans just from the defense. We work really hard, we're well coached, and this shows you how good we played all year." The Sooners, who led the natiun in total defense, were No. I in the polls all season . until a loss m the Big 12 title game to Kansas State dropped them to third.

"We're getting better, but unfonunately, our shooting hasn't improved a whole lot," explained Brown. "We're getting good shots, but we ' re JUSt not hitting." However, m the second half, the shots began to fall. River Valley nailed a trio of 3-pointers during a 11-2 run that pulled it to within a deuce. Then Payne stuck back an offensive rebound to knot the game at 15 apiece with 2:50 remaining in the second quaner. The two clubs were lled agam at 17 apiece before Eastern put together an 8-0 run to close out the half. Ri ver Valley arplied full coun pressure to open second half play, which forced numerous turnovers, al)d parlayed mto a 9-0 run and its first lead of the nt ght at 28-27. Much of Eastern 's turnover problems stemmed from th e absence of startmg pomt guard Jessie Hupp, who was sidelined due to the flu . "I really thought that River Valley would press us a lot more than what they did," commented Edwards. "Our point guard, a two-year starter, bas been out with the flu. We had a girl in there trying to (run the point) who has never really played 11. That made 11 tough for us." The entire Eastern team has been htt hard by illness.

For the first time since 1990, the team in tiger stripes has a postseason berth in the palm of its ~ands. The Bengals (8-6) will clinch the AFC North if they win their last two games, setting up a firstround home game. The club announced Monday that it will start selling playoff tickets this week, its closest brush with the postseason since the days of Boomer, lckey and Sam. It's all a little disorienting and jarring - and the last thing that coach Marvin Lewis wants his team thinking. "I told them just that: Don't worrr, about what everyone is telling you, ' Lewis said Monday. "Just worry about winning the football game." The Bengals 'moved into a first-place tie by beatmg San Francisco 4 I-38 on Sunday, while Baltimore lost in Oakland 20-12. The Bengals and Ravens have the same record, but the relevant tiebreakers are in Cincinnati's favor. If the two finish tied, the Bengals get their first division title and playoff appearance since 1990, endi ng the longest current streak of futility m the NFL. "It's great to have these opportunities as opposed to being mathematically eliminated," linebacker Brian Simmors said Monday. "So right now, it's just a matter of whether we're going to take advantage of it or not." ' The Ravens have games left against division foes with losing records - at Cleveland and at home against Pittsburgh in the Sunday night game Dec. 28.
