FAUSTROM Associated Press BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP ) - Allen Iverson says he definitely wo n' t pl ay Wedn esday or Friday because of a swollen ri ght knee , an injury that could keep him sidelined even longer. The NBA's leadin g scorer has missed two of the team 's last three games. Philadelphia has four more games before beginning a five -game Western road trip Dec . 26 at the Los Angeles Clippers. "I don ' t want to go out West if I'm not able to play. The onl y thin g th at's going to do is bother me," Iverson said Tuesday. "One day. I'll wake up and feel a little better and try and go out there and play, and that might not be the best thing ." Asked whether te~m doctors have let him know when hi s knee will be healed, Iverson said: "They can't tell me. Nobody 's been able to tell me how long it' s going to take." The 76ers ' first home game after the trip is Jan. 5 again st Milwaukee . Iverson is averaging 28 .9 points, 6. I assists and 3.8 rebounds for the Atlantic Pivi sion-leading 76ers (12 - 12) while playing a league-leadin g 43 .7 minutes per game. "We ' re not going to jeopardize his long term career," coach Raqdy Ayers said. "We won't play him until he feels healthy enough to play, and I think you have to Jet players make that decision . We'll wait to see when he feels right." Iverson was hurt in a game again st Chicago on Dec . 4 , when he slipped and hit the court hard. Iverson finished the game but said the knee started to swell on the plane and has both ered him since. He played 44 minutes the next night against Miami, sat out a game against Detroit, then returned to shoot 6-for22 from the floor in 44 minutes against Denver on Friday. "I honestly wish they could put me on the injured list so when I come to the games, I don't try to go out there and play. They tell me they don't have . any room ," Iverson said at practice . "''m not in a lot of pain. I' m not able to move like I want to move." Philadelphia lists Iverson 's status as dayto-day. He played all 82 games for the first time in his career last season. Injuries have Ie(t the 76ers • short-handed most of this season, including four games where only nine players dressed. The team has the maximum allotment of three players on the i!jjured lisl: Will Green , Todd MacCulloch and Monty Williams. Marc Jackson is e~pected to be sidelined at least a month after hand surgery. Glenn Robinson and Derrick Coleman also have been hampered by injuries. "I can't do anything to ·help this team," Iverson said. "I want to make I 00 percent sure when l come back." I'm \ ST LOU IS - Keith Tkac huk fo und another way to help the St. Loui s Blues beat the <;o tum 'bus Blue Jackets in ove rtime. Tkac huk scored with 42.7 seconds le ft in the extra session. helpin g St. Louis rall y fro m a one-goal deficit and beat the Blue Jackets 21, the Blues' second overtime victory over Columbu s in five days . Last Friday, Tkac htlk helped set up Doug We ight 's game-winner with 8. 7 secon ds left. Hi s hit o n Darryl Sydor gave the Blues a thre e-o n-o ne break and left th e Blue Jackets fuming · about an obstruction penalty they didn ' t get. "They got a tremendou s effort from a tremendous playe r in the overtime," Columbu s goalie Marc Deni s said .' "l would have loved to ha ve made the save there. " Tkac huk scored his team-leadin g 16th goal aft er stopping Chri s Prange r's shot short of the net. Lunging to hi s ri ght, he pushed a backhand shot past Deni s while falling. " It was just one my typical bad skating, falling and getting lucky, " Tkachuk said. "I was just there around the net becau se eventuall y the puck's going to be there ." The Blues have won their last four games by one gqal, three in overtime. "We' re confident and we ' ve been very successful in overtime ," Tkachuk said. " It's just one of those things where you've got to ride the wave." The Blue Jackets, who Jed 1-0 after two periods on a deflection by Andrew Cassels, remained the only NHL team without a road victory. They ' re 0-11 - 1-2 away from home thi s season and 0-12 - 1- 2 dating to last season . But they felt good about this one. "It 's games like tonight where you scrap and claw to get yourself a point, they're going to pay off down the stretch ," center Todd Southern from Page 81 down the inside passing lanes. Herman was left with a long desperation three that caromed out at the buzzer. giving Southern one of its biggest wins in recent years. Throughout the second half, Jim Derrow. the dean of TVC coaches, and Rees matched wits in coaching strategies. Like a chess game, each team followed their coachfs advice and methodically churned out production on the floor. Southern coach Jonathan Rees. last year's District 13 Coach of the Year, made a case for the same honors this year. 'Rees said, ''This was a big win. but I told our kids all along that we were going to win this thing. For some reason all week I just visualized us winning. We didn ' t play well. but we didnft give up and we played clutch ball at . the end. "We had three guys in the starting line-up with the flu and we played three quarters like we were tired. We didn't hit some shots we normally make, and at times the offense was sluggish, but our kids kept their heads in the game. That and adju sting to our defenses late in the game is what got us the win." Despite nursing a bruised shooting hand and lighting the · flu , and getting into early foul trouble, junior Craig · Randolph came back to take control of the game. Randolph in fact was so beaten down that Dr. Hunter was summoned to his aid in the first quarter. But Randolph the gamer, scoreless that first frame , carne back to score five by halftime and led the team with 24 points at the finish. Coach Rees cited a team effort; however, as a key to the game. He noted that Jeremy Yeauger sparked the team early with two driving lay-ups and a free throw, while also playing great defense. Rees also ~howcased the play of Aaron Sellers, who had a great floor game and some key rebounds (six overall) with five points; and Rees praised the efforts of his post- Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio -,1 1 t l \ l " • \ td ·, ~ SPORTS '\t t -~ llll~\"-tll\, , ltlli\1BII { I~ . ...!

(AP) Marchant said: Dallas Drake added a power-play goal for the Blues at 6:46 of the third period , knocking in the rebound ol' a point shot by Alexander Khavanov. Th·e Blues are unbeaten in December at 6-0-1 , and they ' re I 1-2-1-0 thi s season at the Savvi s Center. "We never do it the easy way," goalie Chris Osgood said . "But we find a way." St. Louis mi ssed a chance to end it in regulation after Derrick men Josh Smith, Jake Nease. and Wes Burrows. Burrows had nine points and five rebounds, while Nease notched seven points and a team-high II rebounds, and Smith six points. "This is a good ball club and now it is time that someone took notice," Rees said. "We have four players who average. double figures, and we have several players giving us good minutes off the bench. They All deserve some credit." Wellston was led by Herman's double-double, a solid 24-point effort with I I rebounds. Derrow added 13, Lackey six, and Rader four.

Both clubs mi ssed numerous tries and forced turnovers were the specialty of the day. Southern had numerous attempts to tie the score at 18-18 but had four straight turnovers. Southern, without a field goal in the frame, finally did tie it the fifth time around on two Randol ph free throws, 18- 18 but at the buzzer Rader · grabbed a rebound and gave . Wellston the lead at the half. Wellston dominated the third round, but Southern rallied late to ·overcome a 4 I -32 tally after three prior to staging the fourth quarter comeback.

To maximize your enjoyment , try to match their growing requirements with their placement. in your home. Remember, these are living plant s so they need the basics of ~ unlight , water. nutrients and warmth. The poinsettia needs as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. Place it nine to 12 inches away form a south or west-facing window. If using as a table decoration in a dark room. move .. i,t back to a sunny location after each of your family gatherings. The amaryllis. Christmas cactus and cyclamen all prefer good li ght conditions so follow the same growi ng conditions. Water is essential to plant growth; however, too much water kills many plants. Plant roots standing more than 10 to 15 minutes in water deprive the root hairs of oxygen. causing the root system . to collapse. Once the plant slops laking up water through the root system, you will see the plant leaves droop , which A DAY ON WALL STREET 10,500 Dec. 17,2003 Dow Jones -~rr t *"''·' -"•·.. 8Jw·· •,) 10,000 9,500 ;,~ SEP High Pet. change from previous: +0.16 10,146.38 OCT NOV Low 10,094.75 DEC 9,000 Record high: 11,722.98 Jan. 14,2000 Dec. 17, 2003 2,000 Nasdaq composite 1,800 1,600 SEP High 1,921.33 cha:!'ro from prev oua: Pet. 1,926.00 ·0.15 1,400 OCT Low NOV DEC RICorc(hlgh: 5,048 62 1,910.24 March 10, 2000 Dec. 17, 2003 1,100 Standard& , ,050 Poor's 500 1,000 ·4 t8t-·· SEP High 1,076.48 Pet. chan~ from prev oua: +0 .13 1,076.54 OCT Low NOV DEC 950 Record high: 1,527.46 March 24, 2000 1,071.14 AP Local Stocks ACI-30.61 Gannett- 87.36 General Electnc- 30.73 GKNLY-4.75 AEP-29.70 Akzo - 34.85 Ashland Inc.- 42.26 BBT -37.40 BLI-13.83 Bob Evans- 31.00 BorgWarner - 83.33 City HokJing- 34.34 Champion - 4.36 Charming Shops - 5.40 Col-29.25 DuPont - 44.62 DG - 20.60 Federal Mogul - .25 Harley Davidson - 46.50 Kmart- 25.40 Kroger- 17.25 Lld.-17.74 NSC-23.47 Oak HIU Financial - 30.48 Bank Ooo- 43.85 OVB-26.60 Peoples- 26.77 Pepsico-47.15 Premier - 8.36 Rocky Boots - 21.63 AD Shell- 49.75 Rockwell- 35.26 Sears - 44.80 SBC-25.07 AT&T - 18.90 USB-28.36 Wendy's - 37.97 Wai-Mart- 51.90 Worthington - 16.55 Dai~ S1ock reports are t11e 4 p.m. closing quotes of the previous day's lransacbons, provided by Sm~ Partrers at Ac:Misllrc. of Gallipolis. .The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (UsPs 213-960!

' �OPINION . The Daily Sentinel Preside nt Bush is said to be looking for something 'big' to propose in h1s next State of the Union message, possibly another man ned trip to the moo n. He may even do it this week . I have a better idea: a moon shot for a heal thy America. Elements of the initiati ve could include proposals to deal wi th the country's health insuran ce cri sis and the crushi ng costs that caring for aged baby boomers will impose on the economy: met.li ca l liability reform pl us improvemen ts in health quo,l· it y management : and a renewed medical research pu ' h to co nquer costl y chronic diseases. Bush may think that passage of a Medicare prescription drug bill has solved hi s political ' health problem · the tenden(y of voters to trust Democrat s more on health issues than Re publicans. Not so. Democrats are bent on spending th e ne xt year attac king his plan as stingy and dan gerou s to seniors' beloved Medicare program . Polls show that seniors and people on the verge of retirement are dee ply skeptical about hi s plan, which cannot erase doubts until it takes effect in 2006. Bush also needs more than the prescription drug plan to revive his image as a 'compassionate conservative ,' badly tarnished since his tax cuts primarily benefit the wealthy and his budget cuts primarily impact programs to help the poor. Bush doe s not have to spend the kind of money that Democratic presidential candidates are proposing to help the nation's 42 million unin sured get health insurance. Those proposals range in cost from Rep. Richard Gephardt's, D-Mo., $2 trillion over I0 years to cover 40 million people, to between $500 million and $700 million proposed by other candidates to cover 30 million, principally children or ' working poor families.'

Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor VIEW Value Use me to make a djfference • Dear Editor: I pic k up my pen with a heavy heart . The news I have read in past weeks troubles me about my Kroger store, where I spent 31 and a half years of service to the company and many loyal customers. Since my retirement, I have been a loyal customer. It is because we have a union store I have a pension check, plus Social Security, to have· a small finan cial blessing. Others went before me to put in place the system for workers to have the fin ances to retire. I think it is wrong when I see and know of Kroger employees shopping other stores for groceries. I think of the numer. ous union employees in our area. Did they support us? I wonder how many union employees have a Sam's card. It troubles me, also, the people l see work ing at Wal-M art who l know and do not have a future with benefits. I have been blessed with health and the privilege to volunteer my time in many outreaches. l have not talked to any of my former co-workers to know their feelings. These are only my thoughts. There has always been a Kroger for me, and I think the company owes it to our community and the employees to re-open. lam sure this six weeks has been a time for the employees to really get to know each other better, and Meigs County people, won ' t you shop locally first, before you drive These bu sinesses have miles to shop. invested in the future with the message "We care." We don 't need any more empty, boarded-up bui !dings, anci while I am on the subject, I believe with Annie Chapman, to save the Junior High School building in Pomeroy, when it has been shown we can save history. the example of the Chester Courthouse.

Democrats tend to favor expansion of ex isting lowin co me programs Medic aid and th e SCHIP prog ram for children - as th eir mean s of providing in surance . Bush could rel y more on conservat ive freemarket solutions such as medical savings accounts, tax credit s and 'associ ation health plans. ' MSAs are ta x-exempt acco unts. ak in to IRAs and state college savings plans, that can be tapped for medical costs or kept as savings. Bu sine.sses or individu als wo uld get tax credits for insurance purchases. Trade associations · representing small businesses should be allowed to form insurance pools to cover their workers. The health insurance crisis is not limited to lack of coverage. Health costs are rising at a double-di git rate and so are health insurance costs for employers large and small a key Bush constitllency. Covering the uninsured th ereby enabling them to get medical att ention before ill nesses become acute and expensive - will help contain health costs. Bush al so should be proposing measure s to hold down the costs of prescription drugs - not by imposing price controls or importing price controls from Canada, as Democrats propose - but by negotiating with other countries to drop their controls and creating fair world prices for drugs. l didn't get her name, but I.'m guessing Brittany or Jordan.

Dear Editor: It is the day after, so to speak, and on page l, l am looking at a face slightly the worse for wear. The first thing to note is the convenience of his capture at thi s particular time. It diverts attention away from massive Haliburton corruption. It will be presented as "the vindication of our efforts" and a campaign will be initiated to discredit those of us who correetly opposed the war. It enables " Dubya'' to portray himself as one who has demonstrated forceful leadership in bringing Saddam to ju stice. He who requires extensive coaching before uttering a five-word sentence without fluffing can now deliver a series of terse Dick and Jane-style declaratives: "We will ... ," " I shall ... I " The accompanying article indicates that Saddam may be tried by an Iraqi tribunal. You can bet that· he will be forcefully coached in advance and perhaps drugged lest a spill a great many dirty American secrets. He has been our boy for decades. He joined the CIA in the 1950's as one of its hired thugs (UPI ). He knows where all the bodies are buried. So, if in addition to the staged celebrations of Iraqi citizens, we se'e in this country people whooping it up that "we" finally "got him," let's keep a level-headed perspective and remember that "we" always "had him," and that next to the Shah with his bloody torture racks, Saddam is the epitome of what America has represented for generations.

And if it's OK for a Chinese restaurant to hire only Chine se waiters to create a certain ambience and for Hooters to hi re only buxom young things to please its custamers, why is it not 01< for A&F to hire almost exclusively youn g, white employces to sell to a mostly young, white c ustomer base? As black talk show host and lawyer Larry Elder said on '60 Minute s," 'This is about a business deciding, pur·~uant to its best interests ... that a particular kind of salesperson is more likely to generate more dollars. A&F ought to have the right to set their own policies for good or for ill." Well, no. Then it al so would be OK for a restaurant owner• in Selma, Ala., to claim he doesn't hire AfricanAmericans because white waitresses and cooks make his white customers more comfortable and are better for business. 'And that argum~ nt died a long time ago," said Garry Mathiason, a senior partner at Littler, Mendelson, which represents about 30,000 employers. 'It's not only . legally wrong, it's not accepted by society." According to the suit, A&F is 'enforcing a nat ionwide corporate policy of preferrin·g white employt;.es for sales positions, desirable work assignments and favor- able work schedules." The suit says th ~ company recruits employees from col" leges, fraterniti es, sororities and sports that are predomi-' nantly white. 'They aren't recruiting from the basketball team," said Tom Saenz, one of the. attorneys wh o coordinated the suit. One UC Berkeley stude nt, who is not white, alleges he applied several times at two differe nt A&F stores in San Franci sco . Despite retail experience, he was told there were no positions. But several weeks after his lirst application , four white male friend s applied and were hired immediately and . scheduled for shifts. ·A company can project whatever image it wants, but it can't use 'it as a cover for race discrimination," said Elaine Elinson of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco.

New Haven Christmas 1tings' fans sing praises of trilogy's final installment Christmas a.m. "Thi s one was better, more fai thful to the original story than the first two," said Davis. Stacy Prassas, a 41-yearold computer programmer who was leaving the same theater as it let out just after Church. 5:30a.m., said she was coming back later in the morning to see it again . "No one seeing the movie at 2 a.m. is going to tell that they're not impressed," said Prassas. "I thought it covered all the points in the book .... The truth of the matter is, it's a terrific film . I was very excited." On Tuesday, 99 theaters across the nation showed all three film s in the trilogy back-to-hack, with "King" debuting midnight Wednesday. Numerous treats were arranged for the diehard fans, with some theaters selling up buffets for the between-movie breaks. The trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Vi ggo Elijah Wood, Mortensen, Ian McKellen and Sean Astin, began with the "The Fellowship of the Ring" in 2001.
