"What was reall y impres· sive to me is it came out the 'first five minutes of the game and it went as every· one talked about : Oklahoma scored, it' s 7-0," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said in a businessas-usual tone. Th en Tres sel' s eye s widened and hi s voice raised. "Boom! From that moment on they took over. That 's impressive," Tressel said, shaking hi s head . "When you're behind 7-0 to the team that 's supposed to beat you, yet from that moment on it was all Kan sas State."

REED breed@ mydailysentine.Lcom POMEROY Meigs County officials will never know the amount to be lost in sales tax revenue due to the clos· ing last week of the Pomeroy Kroger slore, but some losses in tax receipts can be measured Meigs County Auditor Nancy Parker Grueser said Friday the Ohio Department of Taxation has refused to disclose 10 tl:te county government what the Pomeroy store paid in sales tax.. Meigs County collects one percent sales tax in addition to the state tax, and will need to estimate the loss when determining how much money the county has for operations next year. The county also collects per- sonal property taxes on slore fix· tures and equipment, and aa:ording to public records in Grue...er's ofhce, Kroger paid , $8,291.89 in personal property tax this year. Much of that equipment is expected to be relTIOved from the store in coming weeks, but Kroger wiU be liable for payment of tax on all property left in the store on Dec. 31. One Holding, Inc., the Roanoke, Va.-based company which holds title to the West Main Street store pays over $16,000 in real estate tax to the county each year, and will continue to be responsible for those property taxes until the building is sold. John Musser. who will a=me the Pomeroy mayor's office next week, estimates the 'ass of village income tax revenue from Kroger employees at between $7,OOJ and S8.(XX) per year, but said the loss will likely be offset by the new Fruth Pharmacy ston:, which opened earlier thi.\ month just across the Pomeroy corporation line from its old Middleport location. That new store is exJ:eC!ed to genemte upproximately $6,(XXJ per year in local income tax, Musser said, so will fiDbably make up mo;;t of the loss in sales tax crealed by the Kroger dosing. MuS§Cr said income laX payments from server> and other employees at the Wild Horse Cafe, which opened la11 fall, will also help off..et the Kroger loss. Meanwhile . there is no way fo r the county to make up the loss Kroger has paid in one-percent sales tax or personal property taxes, without another business opening in Kroger 's place . .NATIVITY SC .E NE Have a healthy, jolly Chri~mas The snow was coming down Friday but little Patrick Evans didn't seem to mind.

Ohio's population grew more slowly than every pface in the nation except North · Dakota, Massachusetts and Washington, D .C., according to population estimates released by the U .S. Census Bureau. .. The latest figures show that as of July I , Ohio's growth rate of 0.2 percent for the previous year was one-fifth the national average of I percent. People leaving for Sun Belt states, better jobs and mountain areas kept Ohio 's population number low, experts said. "People are voting with their feet," said Ken Mayland, ·a former chief economtst for j(eyCorp and president of ClearView Economics Inc., a Pepper Pike research firm. Americans continue flocking to the South and West, with those regions accounting for about three-quarters of the growth in the last year. Nevada was the fastest-growing state, adding nearly 74,000 people, or 3.4 percent, to its populatiOn. Following Nevada on the ·list of the fastest-growing states were Arizona, Florida, Texas and Idaho. Three new states moved into the top I 0 thi s year: California, Delaware and Hawaii. They bumped Alaska, Oregon and Colorado. To estimate population, the Census Bureau compated each state's births against its deaths; the number of people moving in from abroad against the number leaving for other countries; and the net gain or loss in residents to other states. "In Ohio, you have more births than deaths," said Census Bureau sgokesman Robert Bernstein. You have a net gain in international migration. But you ' re losing people to other states." All of thi s amounted to a net population increase in Ohio of 27,[Jj9, according to the numbers relc u' ed Thursday. Barry Bennett, a population expert with the Ohio Department of Development, said he wasn' t s~rised by the lagging. growth, which he attributedTo '1anguishing job creation." Mayland said he doesn' t see that changing anytime soon because Ohio i s not attractive to retirees, tourists or people starting new businesses. Every state grew last year except North Dakota, which lost an estimated 74 people and now has a population of JUSt under 634,000. 40%0H 61 Vine Street, GaUipolis, OH 740-446-1276 Reader Services Correction Polley • 1 :.

In August of 2002, thugs from Saddam Husse in's secret police shot notorious terrorist Abu Nidal dead in a Baghdad residence where he had been staying as Saddam's 'g uest.' The Iraqis inmtediately labeled Nidal's death a suicide. causing much commotion among fans of CS I. as the man apparently shot himself four time s in the head. Nidal , you may remember. was a Palestinian killer who roamed Europe and the Middle East in the '70s and '80s creating · mayhem and murdering civilians. He felt ri ght at home in Iraq. So why was he murdered? Good question. The importance of this execution may be enormou s. The Sunday Telegraph in London is reporting that a document discovered in Iraq details a meeting between Nidal and the leader of the 9111 altack, Mohammed Atta. The document was allegedly written by Tahir Jalil Habbush alTikriti, the former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service (lSI) and a man still on the run . Dated July; I, 200 I, three Bill O'Reilly months before 9/11 , the text says that Atta. along with a man named Abu Ammer, met with Nidal for three days under the direct superv ision of the lSI. The document mention s 'targets that we agree must be destroyed .' If thi s memorandum is legitimate, it will obviously change many things because it establishes that elusive link between Saddam and AI Qaeda. First, Howard Dean's credibility will be shattered, and he will cease to be a viable candidate for the Democrats. Second, France, Germany, Ru ss ia and the United Nations will be humiliated. And third, the far-left anti-war people will be marginalized for years to come in this country. One must assume that the • of Saddam Bush administration knows about th is captu red document , which is now believed to be in the hands of Iraqis working for the interim government. But it has not been mentioned in any public way by the U.S. Since disinformation is common in Iraq, and since the an ti-Saddam Iraqi contingent was woefull y wrong about WMDs, the Bush people may be prudent (as Bush the elder might say) in kee ping quiet about thi s unt il its validity is confinned beyond a reasonable doubt. Saddam, of course. knows every devious thing his go vernment did. Thi s is why there should be no ru sh to bring him to trial. The CIA should take all the time it needs to ti nd out everything this psychopath kn ows. And they should use all methods short of instrumental torture to ge l ·"wers. Sau ,111 should be deprived of slee p, loaded up with truth serum , kept isolated and underfed , confronted with no ise, whatever it takes. While the United Nations and the Vatican complain about his 'dignity,' most Americans would like to be protected from another 9/ 11 , tha nk you very much. ., With CIA analyst David Kay still searching for those annoy ing WMDs, with Saddam in custody, wi th a potentially expl osive ISl memo in play, just about anything could happen in tile next few month s vis-a-vi s Iraq . There are a lot of very. powerful people sweating these developments, as they could be career alterin g, Even though he is now a common pri soner, Saddam Hussei n retains a vas t amount of power simply because of what he knows. It will be fa scinatin g to see how he uses that power.

Computer viruses take two downloads and call me in the morning It's time once again for Keyboard Komer, the computer-advice column that uses simple. 'jargon-free' terminology that even an idiot like you can grasp; the column that shows you how to 'take command' of your personal computer, if necessary by reducing it to tiny smoking shards with a hatchet. Today on Keyboard Korner we will address a very important topic: computer security. If you own a computer, or have touched a computer, or have ever shaken hands with somebody who might have touched a computer, you need to take precautionary measures NOW. Because modern cyberspace is not the friendly, open, trusting, safe place it was back in February. Modem cyberspace is a deadly, festering swamp. teeming with dangerous programs such as ' viruses,' 'worms,' 'Trojan horses' and 'licensed Microsoft software' that can take over your computer and render it useless. This is exactly what happened last sunmter w[len the 'SoBig ' virus infected computers around the world, causing millions of computer users t.o be completely cut off from the Internet during what turned out to be a critical h se in the relationship of J ifer Lopez and Ben eck.

CHARLESTON - State and federal officials are urgi l)g consumers to take special care when handling and prep:lring food this holiday season to keep meals and pany snacks safe and delicious. West Virginia Commiss.ioner of Agriculture Gus R. Douglass said a few simple precautions can ensure . a happy holiday seas@. "The pnmary m1ss1on of thi s Department is to ensure that food emeri nj; th is state, or that is prod uced 111 this state. is wholesome, unadul terated and free of any contamination," Douglass said. "Consumers may take our efforts fo r gr;mt· ed because there are so few food-related prohlems that ari se in this ·state, but our inspectors are om there every day protecting the well-being of every West Virginian." The U.S. Food and Drug Administratio n recommends the following practices to reduce the risk of the most common food-borne illnesses: . • Wa'ih hands ami lood-con· tact surfaces often. Bacteri a can spread throughout tl1e kitchen via cutting boards. kni ves, sponges, and counter tops. • Don't cross-contaminate. Thi s is especi all y true for mw meat, poultry and seafood. Expem caution to keep these foods and their juices away from .;cady-to-eat foods. • Cook to proper tempera· lures. Foods are properl y cooked when they are heated for a long enou gh time and at ·a high enough temperatu re to kill the hann ful bacteri a th at cause food-borne illness. • Refrigerate pro mptl y. Public health officials advise consumers to retiigemte foods quickly because cold tempera· lures keep most harmful bacte· ria from \\rowing and multiply· ing. Refn gerators should be set at 40°F and the freezer at 0°F, and the accuracy of the senings should be checked occasional· ly with a thennometer. • FDA advises consume rs not to eat uncooked cookie dou gh - homemade or com· mercia! - or batters made with raw fresh eggs because they may contain bacteria that .can cause an intestinal infection called salmonel· losis. Thorough cooking kills the bacteria that cause the infection. • Traditional eggnog made with raw eggs also presents the same salmonellosis risk. While cooking can destroy the disease-causing bacteria, consumers can still become ill when the eggnog is left at room temperature for several hours before bein,g consumed. Safe alternatives are pasteurized eggnog beverages sold in grocery · dairy ca:;es. These products should be kept refrigerated. • Apple cider and other juices: Apple cider is often served during the holiday season. Apple dder and mmt juices are pasteurized. or otherwise treated to de<troy harmful bacteria. Pasteuri£ed juiqe can be found in the refrigerated or frozen futxh sections of stores. Treated jui c.: is shclf-swble and is normally found in the nonrefrigerated juice section of stores. It 's packaged in boxes. bottles or cans. · • Unpasteurized or untreated juice is norn1all y f(>und in the refri gcrated sccuons of grocery sllJres. health-food stores..~ider mi ll s or farm markets. Such juices m u~t h,tve. this wm1 ing on the label : "WA RNING : This product has not been pasteuri7.£d and there t<)re, may contain harmful bacteria that can ca use serious illne" in chi ldre n, the elderly. and persons with weake ned immune systems." If you can't te ll whether a juice has been processed to destroy hannful . bacteria. either don' t use the product or boil it to kill any harmfu Lbacteria. .. · • Thawing the tu rkey completely before cooki ng is Important and necessary to redu ce the ri sk of food- borne illness. If a turkey is not properl y thawed. the outside of the turkey will be done before the inside. and the inside will not be hot enough to destroy disea~-cau sing bacteri a. • Allow the correct amount of time to prope rly tha w and cook a whole turkey. For example. a 20-pound turkey needs two to three days to th aw compl etely when thawed in the refri gerator at a ·temperature of no more than 40°F. A stuffed turkey needs four to li ve hours to cook completely. • To check a turkey for !loneness. insert a food thermometer illto the inner th ig h area near the breast of the .. tu rke y but not to uching bone. The turkey is do ne when the temperature reaches 180°F. If the turkey is stuffed. the temperature of the stu ffin g should be 165 ' F. • Oysters. seafood and li sh should always be cooked thoroughly. Buy onl y fresh seafood that is refrigerated or properly iced. Cookmg lish until it is opaque and flaky helps destroy any bacteria that may be present. Avoid eating raw oysters or shellfish. People with liver disorders · or weakened immune systems are especially at risk for getting sick. • Be careful with mailorder food gifis which can include meat, poultry, fi sh and other perishables, such as cheese, fruit and cheesecake. The gift giver should alert the recipient to the pending arrival of the foixl gift; the recipient should open the package immediately to make sure that the food arrives in a chilled state.

' emergency activated 1ts operations ce nter to dea l with the tlu outbreak, whic h has now claimed the lives of 42 children, officials said Friday. Dr. Julie . Gerberdi ng, director of the Centers for Disease Contro l and Prevention, said the agency seRt out fi eld teams to help states deal with the outbreak and evaluate the effectiveness of this year 's llu shot. Gerberding said it is too soon to determ ine how severe thi s llu season will be. In response to a question, she said at a briefing that the number of cases indicate the outbreak could be classilied as an epidemic. She said the season has fallen under "typical" llu pattern s, but it started much earlier than usual. The child deaths from tlu are "very sobering and very worri some," Gerberding said, adding that at least 16 of the children who died were ill prior to catching the tlu and that more than half the deaths involved children under 5. At least 36 states have been labeled by the agency as having wide spread;, t1u activi ty, and no swte has been untouched. The operations center has been used carl\er this year to help the - agency ma nage SARS and West Ni le virus activity in the Uni ted States The worldwide SARS outbreak was the tirst major test of the operations ce nter after the deadly res pimtory disease was firs t detected in China last Novem ber.

But the governm ent has worked to purchase remaining llu shot supplies for states. Gerberding urged people not to crowd emergency rooms.The age ncy ' posted information on it s Web si te Friday to help people decide when they need to go to the hospital and when they should stay home.

And. trust me, for someone who spent so many years in col lege that he is now permanently sickened by the thought of ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese, one million dollars seems like a fortune. However, the truth is, one million dollars just ain ' t what it used to be. It doesn't take much- a nice house, a decent retirement fund, and some life insurance-and boom! You 've run right into the enemy qf every estate planner-the estate tax . The federal estate tax applicable exclusion amount. currently $ 1 million, will rise to $1.5 million in 2004 and will be repealed in 20 I0, just to be returned to its $1 million amount in 20 II. If you· re net worth today is $1 million and your assets appreciate at 7% per year-a stretch given the market 's performance the past few years, but, what can I say. I' m an optimist-in 20 years, you' ll have nearly $3.87 million. A tidy sum indeed, but your heirs co uld be forced to pay an estate-tax bill of $1.42 million. OUCH! It behooves one to address their estate plan ahead of time given the possible tax consequences. you read that? (Did Behooves . .. finally that word-a-day calendar is paying off!) The idea is simple-pay the least amount of taxes. But how? Well, there are at different least a few approaches. One wellknown method used by the "well -to-do" to avoid taxes is to minimize the amount of their personal estate that exceeds the protected $1 million amount. For husbands and wives, one important way to do this is by taking advantage of both the husband and the wife's $1 mil- James Henry lion exclusion-that's right you each get one. So you might be thinking, "How could we ever pay estate taxes if we' ve gut a total of $2 million we can exclude'" Well, it's done all the time. You see , most people set up their wills to grant everything they own to their spouse when they die. This has no tax consequences immedi ately because there is an unlimited marital deduction . However, relying on the deduction alone is a.common estate planning mistake; by leaving all the assets to the surviv mg spouse, you lose the opportunity to use both appli cable exclusion amounts. The soluti on? Take advantage of both the applicable exclu sion amount for each spouse and the unlimited marital deduction . Thi s can be accompli shed by the use of what is known as a Unified Credit or Bypass Trust. A bypass trust may generally pay income to the surviving spouse until he or she dies; and it may di stribute principal to family members or others named as trust beneficiaries. When the surviving spouse di ~s. the assets can pass directly to trust beneficiaries or be managed in the trust for their benefit. By usi ng these trusts, married couples are able to prevent losing the value of the applicable credit of the first spouse to die, while still assuring that funds are available for support of the ~ pau se in the future should they be needed. Another valuable strdtegy for single and married people to consider is establishing and fundin g bypass so that any growth on the trust's funds escapes the estate tax (remember trusts are their own legal entity) and escapes the diminishing effects of inflation. Therefore, more value may be available if you fund your trust now as opposed to at the time of your death. Another common method for people whose net estate wi ll exceed $1 million is for them to set up a gift-giving plan. Many people have heard of the $ 10,000 dollar annual gift tax exclusion, but a surprising number of people have not yet realized that the ~mou n t went up to $ 11 ,000 per person ($22 ,000 per couple) as of 2002. Couples who are concerned about hav ing their estates taxed when they pass away can reduce the size of their estates, and heQce their estate taxes, by giving money away each year to their children. Many people become concerned about giving large amounts of money to children who may not be responsible. Trusts can be used in this circumstance to alleviate some of the concerns by providing guidelines for the distrib ution of money during the years that follow.

Mid-January is a target date for moving the God 's Protect your 401 (k) after a layoff Are you retiring soon? Changing jobs? Leaving your company? If so, here's one of the most imponant questions you'll need to ask yourself: What should you do with your 40 I (k) or other taxadvantaged retirement plan? You could, of course, cash out your 40l(k) and take a lump sum distribution. After all, the money is yours, and it's readily available. However, there are some big negatives to cashing out your 40l(k) .. First, you'll have to pay ordinary income )axes on the money, possibly jncluding an immediate 20 percent withholding. Also, if you're under 55, you may have to pay a ten percent penalty. Most irnportantly, you'll wipe out a significant source of your retirement savings and lose the advantage of having money accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. : Instead of liquidating your i:IO I(k), you may want to roll the money over to an IRA, either a traditional IRA, in which your earnings grow tax-deferred, or a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free ;withdrawals provided you meet certain conditions. If you move ~our40l(k) money into an IRA, consider using a "direct rollover" so the funds go directly from your old plan to your IRA with no withholding. April Rice After you get your 40l(k) money into an IRA, what then? Won't you be penalized for taking money out? Not necessarily. You can make penalty-free withdrawals from your IRA as long as you take "substantially equal periodic payments," as · determined by an IRS formula, for at least five years and until you reach 59 1/2. For example, if you start taking these payments at 50, you must keep taking them until yo1,1're 59 1/2. However, if you don't start collecting this money until you are 55, you'll having to keep making withdrawals until you are 60. If you think you may get another job soon, you may want to place your401 (k) money in a rollover IRA, which yoil can eventually move a~sel~ into a riew employer's retirement plan if permissible. As you can see, there are many tax-related issues pertaining to IRAs, so you'll want to consult with your tax adviser before makmg any · decisions on rollovers. Aside from moving it to an IRA, what else can you do with your410(k) if you leave your current employer? For one thing, you can just leave it alone. Even though you won't be able to make any new conuibutions to your plan, you can probably leave it with your fonmer employer and continue to benefit from tax-deferred earnings growth. If you choose this route, though, what can you do to boost your income? One possibility is to restrucrure your investment portfolio. If you have many growth-oriented investments, you may want to shift some of these assets toward income-producing vehicles, such as bonds, but don't abandon your growth vehicles completely; you will need them to eventually provide retirement income. Ultimately, you can protect your retirement plan, even after a layoff. So take the time to make the right decision- it's wortli the effort. April E.

Queen Elizabeth ll was crowned and Hillary and Norgay became the first humans to reach Mount Everest. TV Guide began publication and the TV industry enjoyed large revenues, much of which came from cigarette advertising. Little Ricky was born on "I Love Lucy." It was also the year for the first threecolored traffic light. Tbe big movie of the year was "From Here to Eternity" and the big song was Patti Page's "The Doggie in the Window." Locally there was a tragedy in late 1953 in Point Pleasant when a barge explosion killed six workers. Rio Grande College was playing basketball in Madison Square Garden. It must have been a pretty good year economically in Gallia County what with the building of the Kyger Creek Power Plant and all the jobs that were created because of that. Anna Campbell wrote lin her Gallia Times column, "Ramblin' with Annie", .the followin g "During my excursions on the avenue I've noticed the Christmas decorations in the different stores and I don't believe I ever remem- ber them being as colorful and attractive as they are this year. In one of the local shops they have snow-covered Christmas trees with brightly colored balls, big candy canes, all red and white and they look good enough to eat. Also Santa appears to be coming down Into the store complete with all his reindeer. The windows are all decorated with beautiful Christmas paper. It Is wonderful just to be a part of the exciting atmosphere." Another Times columnist Charley Butler was beginning to wonder about where all this Christmas indulgence was . leading. "The length to which parents will go in order to assure a happy Christmas for their children is astonishing. While we in this country perhaps place an undue importance on the gift-giving phase of the day, that attitude does have its use. By proper direction of their thinking interest can be 'transferred to the religious aspect of the holiday." Anna also told about all of the cantatas, special music and Christmas progrnms. Some I~ families reoeived Christmas baskets in Gallipolis thanks to the Rotary Club and Washington School. Generous food donations were given by Evans Grocery, Evans Packing fD Nonh Produce, Spring Hill IJdiry, Broughton's, Rich Valley Dairy and Betsy Ross Bread. the Kiwanis Club had ladies' 1tight with the theme, "What Christmas Means to Me." Paint Creek Baptist had its annual Christmas Day service at 5:30 am. complete in 1953 with cl)illdren's pageant singing by Jackie Carr and Maureen Stewmt and a Slaty by Mrs. Boruen. Toward Christmas Anna became 'Santa's Elf' and printed leners to Santa Claus from Gallia boys and girls in her column. One of my favorites was from a young lad who wrote that he· wanted an electric car that he could ride in, electric train set, roller skates, a live puppy. with harness and leash, a Model road grader, a Gene Autry cowboy suit complete with boots and a toboggan sled. He adds, "Maybe I'll want more next year." Some of the hot gift ideas in 1953 were Stetson hat' for dad at Haskins Tanner for $10, housecoats for mom at Knight's for $8, wool cardigan sweaters at Murph)."s for sis at $3, steer-hide btllfolds for brother at Davis Shuler for $5, an armless TV chair at Empire Furniture for grandma at $10 and a Dr. Grabow pipe at Gallaher's for grandpa for $3. and toys were everywhere . Of course in 1.953 Gallia still had its share of poets including Mrs. C.E. Sheets. In her weekly column "Blue Lake News. Notes, Personals," Mrs. Sheets wrote: "Old Santa brings a special gift for linle girls and lxiys, He always brings them clothes they need, and not so many toys. Toys are so easy soiled. they make a lot of noise, So Santa please, just bring the things that please the girls and boys." In that same column Mrs. Sheers referred to "celestial aqua para pura". That was always her expression for rain.

Even her severe limitatio ns did not prevent her from experiencing the heart,s great wonders. So what is responsible for love. which most of us associate with the heart? Scientists ha ve discovered that the heart secretes oxytocin, known as the 'love' or ' bonding hormone.' In addition to its well-known role in childbirth and lactation, recent evidence suggests that this hormone also iniluences cognition or thinking, social adaptation, and the cr~ation of enduring bonds between individuals. When our hearts feel love, all kinds of good things happen. For example, research shows that peo ple who are romantically in love are more euphoric. more energetic, and less subject to pain . In addition, they suffer fewer colds and their white blood cell s more act ively fight infection. Person·al feelings of love also positively affect those around us . For in stance, Harvard psychologist David McClelland has shown that simpl y seeing a movie about a truly loving person, such as Mother Teresa, temporarily strengthens one,s immune system. . l : ' Remember, when yo u look fear in the face it loses most and sometimes all of ·its power over you.

For a party of 20 or more guests, plan for multiple "stations" of food to avoid a crush of people in one area . Large parties may need two drink stations. Have refills of food behind the scenes ready to go, in plates or bowls. · Giving guests a wide :range of food choices, rather than a "one-size-fits-all" main-di sh menu, is one of the reasons why an appetizer party is both practical and popular.

And in "The Fog of War," documentarian Errol Morri s makes no excuses for the man who served as defense secretary during the Vietnam War. Both nien are deeply analytical , though, and both seek to understand the mistakes of the past in order to learn from them in the future . Interview s ·with· McNamara, 87, show that he 's a man of surprising candor and chansma w1 th authority still lurking beneath his raspy voice. And he still looks very much the part of the government man. with hi s rimless eyeglasses, short, slicked-back hair and simple suit. Morris also includes revelatory phone corJversations between McNamara, President Kennedy and President Johnson as well .as archival footage to create a· film that 's deceptively 'si mple yet hauntingly powerful. He's alieady proven himself as a master tilrnmaker with his documentaries, previous including "The Thin Blue Line" and "Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.," but "The Fog of War," may be his best film yet. 6Y THE ASSOCIATED PRESS "You should never trust a junkie." says Nathalie , a heroin addict who becomes the unlikely heroine of "The Barbarian In vasions."

They surely won't fi nd "Honda" in side the Vue's owner manuaL But they will notice how much peppier the new .Vue is compared with it s 2003 predecessor. And, as odd as it sounds, it' s because of a Honda V6 that serves as the ne w, uplevel engine for Saturn 's only SUV. This is the first year of an unusual arrangement. signed in 1999. where Saturn's parent company, Ge neral Motors Corp. , negotiated use of an unidentitied V6 in exchange for Honda being able to get diesel engi nes from OM's affi liate, lsuzu. In more than one way, the deal is a boost for the Vue. The 2004 Vue is more domestic than its predecessor because Honda makes its V6 in Ohio. The Vue's pre vious V6 came from Opel, a GM brand in Europe. The new engine, which Honda uses in its own Pilot SUV as well as the Acura MDX, also gives far better performance and sounds better than the previous Vue V6 did. Specifically, horsepower is increased by 38 percent to 250 from last year's 18 1 horses, and torque is up to 242 foot -pounds at 4,500 rpm from 195 -foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm.

Most SIDS deaths occur by the time the baby is six months old, with the greatest number taking place between two and 4 months of age. While there remains no definite way to predict which babies will die of SIDS, there are some steps parents and caretakers can take to help reduce the risk of a baby dying of SIDS. First, a mother should take good care of hersell" during pregnancy. Good prenatal care includes eating a healthy diet, taking prenatal vitamins. avoiding alcohol , tobacco and other drugs, and having frequent medical check-ups beginning early in pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy increases a mother's risk of having a premature or low birth weight baby which in tum has been found to increase the risk of SIDS. Once a baby is bern, parents and caretakers should make ·every effort to keep the baby's environment smoke-free . Second, after a baby is born,. parents should place him on his back to sleep. The "supine" sleeping position is considered the safest for a healthy baby. If your baby ·has a medical condition, check with your pediatrician to determine the safest sleeping position for him . As a side note, it is really impor- Jill Cox LSW tant that your baby ha ve "tummy time" when he is awake. Th is will strengthen your baby 's motor skills and help prevent a tlat spot from occurring on the back of his head. Thirdly, babies should be placed to sleep on a firm mattress. Soft bedding , fluffy bl ankets, pillows and comtimers should be avoided as they can lead to suffocation. As a parent, you want to keep ·your baby warm especially now that it is cold outside; however, babies need only as much heat as adults. Keep the baby 's room at a comfortable temperature and avoid overdressing a baby or bundling him in heavy blankets. Also, a study supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) found that infants who share a bed with other children are at a higher risk of SIDS. This study found a dramatic increase in SIDS risk to a baby who is both placed to slee p on hi s stomach and pl aced on a soft surface, including a couch. · Some studies have found that breastfeeding can help reduce the risk of SIDS. Thi s may be because breast milk can provide protection from some infections that may trigger sudden deaths in in fants. Experts agree that breastfeeding has many known health benefits for both mother and baby and should be done if possible. Lastly, parents should take their baby to a health care provider for re gular well baby check-ups and routine immunizations. The pediatrician or health care provider will examine your baby to make sure he is growing and developing properly and also provide important advice on how to keep your child health y. The NIH study encourages that parents should receive instruction that emphasizes supine sleeping, firm bedding, not using pillows, and not sharing a bed with other children. A SIDS death is a tragedy and can prompt intense emotions among surviving family members. If you or someone you love have experienced a baby dying of SIDS, it is very important to remember that it is no one's fault. Counseling and/or seeking support from others is suggested during thi s time of grief. With time, the pain may become less intense but never forgotten. Be prepared for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions to trigger periods of grief and pain. Be careful not to forget that children are also affected by the death of a sibling. Children may become very clingy to their parents fearing that they or another family member may die. Talking with your child about the death and explainin g that the baby died because of a medical problem may help eliminate feelings of fear and/or guilt. For more information or questions regarding SIDS you can contact the Galli a County Health Department by calling 441-2950.

BIG SURPRISE BEHIND A SMALL FACE Bv 13RUCE A. NATHAN Weekly Features AP Lot sizes being what they are, it's good to see a home design th m uses a modest plot to great effect. Plan APWB-136 has features a family will love. A colonnaded entry gallery leads visitors past secluded living and dining rooms. A large U-shaped kitchen with island seating oversees family room activities. A screened porch and deck can be reached from two rooms. In a touch many will find appealing, the stairs are not at the front entry. The five upstairs bedrooms accommodate large families and guests. A portion of the hallway opens to the main floor, and the master suite has an alcove with partial wall curvature. "This home uses more qf its depth than width. The exterior lines are pleasing. 17te first floor has private areas but a very active kitchenfamily room area. All can have their oUJn bedroom. 17te screened porch is a very livable room in 11ice weather.
