In order to promote healthy meals, parents can set the stage by seeing that the dinner atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, and b~ enga~ing family members m posaive conversation. They can also offer children the opportunity to help plan, select, prepare and serve nutritious foods. Youth · who are actively involved in meal prep·aration are more likely to try and enjoy new foods . Since children pick up so many of their parents' eating habits, it is extremely important for adults to model a nutritious diet. Regularly scheduled meals containing a variety of foods and a healthy snack can go far to prevent the far-reaching effects of childhood obesity. Food portion sizes shou1d ·reflect the children's age and the recommendations for their BMI, since large helpings, such as . restaura11t portions. and" super- . sized fast foods, lead to overeating. Adults should be careful to avoid usin~ foods as rewards, restnctions, bribes or threats. Though parents need not restrict w·hat their children eat, they should monitor their food intake and make foods available according to their observations. One of the biggest reasons American children are trapped in the childhood obesity crisis is their natural inclination to play and be physically active has been weakened over the past several decades. Less physical hou sehold chores, being chauffeured to school and around the neishborhood, and the arrival of television, computers and video games, has lured youth away from exercise and outdoor play.

Practically all that kept me from becoming a bookie, maybe, was the fact ihat my Totopoly-playing days, roughly 30 years ago, were limited to a single year spent as an American in Ireland. Seabrook's point is that toys and games appearing before World War II - of which Totopoly, debuting in 1938, is one - appealed to parents. It was O!}ly after the war, he writes, that "toymakers began to make products that appealed exclusive!y to kids - toys that, in many cases, parents actively disliked, which was the principal source of their appeal." The iheory holds with prewar Erector sets, which first sprang up under the Christmas tree in 1913, and prewar Monopoly, which made its initial public offering in 1935. And every postwar, parent-bumming toy manufactured since from Rock'em Sock'em Robots (1966) to Bratz dolls (2003) - bears out the rest of the theory. Bolstering Seabrook's case is the scholarship of John Diana West ----· Brewster, a toy 'historian who has written that early-20thcentury toymakers "were marketing a particular social morality - one that stressed J ndustry, probity and individual endeavor. " Play was child's work, Mr.. Seabrook explains, "and building blocks and baby doll s were the tools that children used to become adults ." "By the mid1970s," he writes, "toys had stopped trying to prepare children for anything other ·than a perpetual childhood." But what about Totopoly? Does a racing game that designates one player (ages 8 and up) a "tote clerk," or bookmaker, fit into that recreational; prewar continuum of "industry, probity and individual endeavor"? ' The question arises because some 30 years after I raced my last horse to theTotopoly finish line, I have received the game as a gift - no mean feat, given that Totopoly was sent to pasture 20-odd . years ago. Thanks to eBay and a devoted husband, a late-1970s version of the game has arrived from Great Britain, along with a batch of earlier- I THOV6HT VOU60T THE 'NIGHT-BEFORE' · PROT1:CTION. vintage accessories ordered separately, and has become the family's newest favorite game. On Side I of the Totopoly board. players bid on racing enterpri ses and racehorses that they must see through training; on Side 2, · players race the mounts that have survived training - and that players can still afford to an entertainingly unpredictable finish. When I was kid, my family played Totopoly during long, very black, Irish winter n,ights unbroken by the garish glare of television (which we didn't have) and other plug-in distractions. And we played with a perhaps peculiar intensity. Or at least I did, age 8. I still remember, after a particu,larly rigorous training round, the sting of losing my last mount, Marmaduke Jenks, before the race on Side 2 had be,gun. The poor horse was deemed "unfit" by a "Veterinary Surgeon's Report" card and - chi lling words "SCRATCHED from the Race." That's when I felt the sting. Actually, I bawled; striking a deep chord of sympathy in n\y rather softhearted parents, who went on to sponsor Marmaduke Jenks' unprecedented, indeed, miraculous recovery. The horse, to the. chagrin of some people (my brother), went on to win "the Race." I enjoyed playing my "new" Totopoly this month, although there was something missing - no quarantine for heelbug, no incurable "coughing trouble," and nobody's horse got "SCRATCHED fro m the Race." This I put down to our good luck, or maybe my bad memory. Then I noticed that the separate bag of older accessories - playing cards, metal horse-markers and the like - incluoed a stack of vet reports that, sure enough. de livered the odd wallop of bad news that had once felled my Mannaduke Jenks. This element of the game haEI been eliminated in the game's more modem incarnation. Why? The answer may offer a glimpse of where Totopoly originally fit into the Erector-Monopoly era of adult intluence. If Erector sets taught us to build~ and Monopoly taught us to bank, then maybe Totopoly taught a httle somethmg about the ' school of hard knocks o - · something more familiar to the gamesters, young and old. of the 1930s than the 1970s. By then , the shield of affluence protecting perpetual childhood warded against such "blows." Soon, even winners and losers would be barred from the playground, a recreational protection that serves the current cult of "self-esteem" and other dumbed-down standards. All of which places classic Totopoly in that earlier em where I like to play. (Diana West is a columnist for The Washington Times. She wn be contacted via dianaww@verizon.net.)

''Board work and defense really allowed us to run and play transition ... "We are very happy to be the Bob's Market Champs.

Blue Jackets send Johnson to Syracuse Supporting gay students financially and emotionally The idea took root decades ago, when Bruce Lindstrom was still in graduate school at the University of Southern California. His parents 'and two brothers had just disowned him. He was suddenly on his own in the world, figuring out how to pay for schooling, where to turn for advice, how to not hate himself when he knew he disgusted the pe(}ple he loved most. "The best way they had to deal with my being gay was to turn their back on 'evil,"' · says Lindstrom, sitting in a 21 st-tloor meeting room at the Pan Pacific Hotel in San Francisco. "That has always been so painful for me . I didn't want others to go through what I went through." Three years ago, after socking away money from a succe ssful business career. he and his longtime partner gave his idea some starting capital and a name: the Point Foundation. It would be the first gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender scholarship fund open to students at all schools and from all parts of the United States. Lindstrom wanted the foundation to step in as the proxy family for students who could no longer count on their real families. Michelle Marzullo nods as Lindstrom talks. She is one of those students. She was living at home in Connecticut and attending a local college when she and her girlfriend came out to their parents. They were banned from each other's homes and forbidden to communicate by phone. "We felt so absolutely iso.\ Joan Ryan lated," she says . "We had lost our family support, and one by one, our Jriend s fell away." She was once kept in an attic for five hours as friends badgered her about why she was gay and how repulsive homosexuality was. She was released from the attic when she promised s~e no longer would be gay. Marzullo moved to Sa'! Francisco and earned a master's. degree from San Francisco State. The Point Foundation is funding her forthcoming doctoral studies at American University in anthropology with a specialty in race, gender and social justice. "NI)I mother has tried to explain that she wasn't judging me for being gay, but that she ·just didn't want me to lead a lonely life," she says. "She didn't want me to be ostracized and hurt. In the meantime, that's exactly what she was doing." Marzullo and another foundation scholar, Lawrence Robinson, joined Lindstrom and the foundation's trustees for their board meeting last Saturday in San Francisco. They sit among the handful of gay businessmen and lawyers and entrepreneurs and financial analysts from across the country who had decided the time was right to spread their philanthropic dollars beyond AIDS. This foundation, they say, was not about the horror of disease in the gay community but about the hope in its future . "I faced the obstacle of being black and queer," says Robinson, a senior at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont (Los Angeles County). When he came out to his church community before leaving for college, the congregation responded with silence. "The pastor was angry when he took me aside after services," Robinson says . "He told me being gay was a disease, and only white people had it." Money for school is what drives students to apply to the foundation (www.thepointfoundation.org), but what they find is what every young person needs: someone who believes in them. It is a fundamental component of success· ·no matter your race, class or sexual orientation. But if nearly everything and everybody in your life has verified· your own fears - that you aren't as worthy as everyone else then finding a devoted mentor has, perhaps, an especially powerful impact. "I had never had a network of people I could look to for advice and as role models for my life," Robinson says, referring to the advice he receives from the foundation's board of members. "I felt before like I was driving a't night without headlights." The Point Foundation now funds 13 scholars, including a Colorado valedictorian who was denied the traditional town-funded scholarship because he is ,gay. The scholarship amounts range from $5,000 to $28,000 per year, funded by about I00 donors. Lindstrom reconciled with his parents and one brother after 15 years apart. The other brother, who passed away several years ago, never relented. Lindstrom had once sent him a pepper grinder as a gift, which was immediately stashed out of reach in an upper cabinet with a warning to his children: "If you touch that, you'll get AIDS." "But I truly believe nothing that has happened in the past is inevitable (to happen) in the future," Lindstrom says. "Nothing is irreversible." . He continues the story. When his brother died, Lindstrom got to know his children. He watched home movies of them, catching up on the years he missed. "Here's a side note," Lindstrom says, smiling . "My nephew has asked Carl and me to be the best men at his wedding." Carl Strickland, Lindstrom's longtime panner and foundation co-founder, lets out a ' laugh . 1 Lindstrom shakes hi s head. "My brother," he says, "is probably turning in his grave." (Joan Ryan is a columnist for th e San Francisco Chronicle.

The Browns, who lost to Baltimore 35-0 last week, rushed for a season-high 178 yards in the first half alone.

"We gave up 21 points in the third quaner, and they pulled to within seven points, but we found a way to withstand their effort," Caldwell added. "We had four players in double figures again which I believe is a reflection of a good team. Then you have to give our bench credit for the way they aided our effort," he said.

After an opening drive that led to Rudi Johnson's 5-yard touchdown run, the Bengals' offense froze up and fumbled around.

Led by efficient quanerback Matt Leinan and game-breaking receiver Mike Williams, USC has topped 40 points in seven straight games and is sixth in the nation in scoring · at 42.2 points per game. Michtgan has a similar offense led by quarterback John Navarre, Hei sman final· ist running back Chri s Perry and a deep receiving corps. The Wolverines have scored at least 27 points every game thi s year and are ninth in the country in scoring at 37.2 points per game. "This is the granddaddy of them all ," USC cornerback Will Poole said. "We get to stay at home, our fans are here, and it's a great game against a great Michi gan turned in a strong effort with II points, nine boards, three steals, and a couple assists.

"They were really fast and 'determined, our girls kept coming, but it wasn't to be tonight." "Southern surely played their 'A' game ." "We congratulate them and thank Bob's Market for the fine tournament." In the consolation game, um. "Just a poor decision by me at the end," said Kitna, who had avoided them for most of the season. "Everything is happening so fast. On that play, it was just a mental error." The Browns then reverted to form, failing to get a first down on three third-quarter possessions. Rudi Johnson's 2-yard run put the Bengals ahead 14-13 with 12:15left. Tim Couch, who lost his job !O Kelly Holcomb at the season's start and faces an uncertain future, got the Browns rolling again by completing a pair of thirddown passes. Suggs then broke a 25-yard team. Whate ver happened with the BCS happened. It was out of our control." One reason for USC's lack of an outcry about situation stems from their coach . Weeks before the final BCS standings were even released, Pete Carroll downplayed their significance. Then when the bowl bids were handed out three weeks ago, Carroll wouldn' t let hi s .team feel offended by reminding them that they ·are the No. I team in the country and the Rose Bowl was the championship game . "He did a great job explaining everything to us," AllAmerican offensive lineman Jacob Rogers said. " He talked to some of the younger guys who might have felt a little slighted about not going to the Sugar BowL That was a big help." Michigan coach Lloyd Carr is also trying to keep hi s team's focus on the game instead of what some players said was a slight from the media. Carr said he hasn' t even brou~ht up the championship i mphcations of this game. "We can't control what the story line is," he said. "We 're focused on the things we need to do to win this football ga me." While getting a team up for a Rose Bowl shouldn't be a big deal, one master moti vator said all this talk of a split title would make the job that much easter. Former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said he would constantly remind his team that some people are already . sizing up the Trojans for championship rings. "I'd be telling them, ' You ' re decided underdogs, they aren ' t giving you a chance," ' Schembechler growled. ''I'd love it."

"We deal with engineering and science. fact and data," said ODOT Public Information Officer Stephanie Filson, "and data suppons that the bridge is perfectly safe for motorists."

'The Pomeroy/Mason Bridge is an old bridge, to be sure, and we have to take care of it. That's why we inspect it anqually, and that inspection was performed only recently.'' Filson said. Filson said repairs made earlier this month were a matter of routine maintenance. 'The December repairs were simply a matter of annual upkeep," Filson said "Our wOIXer.; were doing their wm on the bridge itself, and ODOT deemed it safer for both the wmers and motorists to close the·bridge during the working hour.;- at night - for everyone· s safety... 'Those repairs were scheduled for a period of 10 days, and were completed .in two days. That's hardly a 'major repair.
