Past Super Bowl quarterbacks endorse Brady decision .. NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Tom Brady admits the ankle is sore. . "It's a litde tender. But I think there's a lot of body parts of mine that ·• · · ~re sore," he said. ; The New England quarterback doesn't expect to be fully healed from JUs AFC championship game .sprain when he faces the St. Louis Ranu in Sunday's Super J3owl. Still. he isn't about to take himSelf out of the lineup. ·"As a football player, especially this time of year, I don't think a lot of guys are 100 percent," Brady said, adding that he expects to wear a brace on his left.ankle for the game. Pool reports said Brady appeared to have no problems during practice. But former San Francisco quarterback and current ESPN analyst Steve Young S:aw pool video provided by NFL secutive games with Brady as !he starter and ·have gone 13-3 since he took over for Drew Bledsoe, who this summer signed the richest contract in NFL history. Young, appearing at a youth center the NFL is helping to renovate, endorsed Belichick's decision to start Brady over Bledsoe. But Young, who developed a frosty relationship with Joe Montana while waiting to succeed the future Hall of Farner with the San Francisco 49ers, said he !bought the Patriots should keep both quarterbacks. " I worked through it for five years. It's a tough situation, but you've got to work through it,"Young said. "Those are their two biggest assets ... They've already needed both of them:' Bledsoe was the starter for eight years, breaking virtually every one of Films and said he thought Brady was· "definitely hurting;· "I just saw him drop back," Young said. "I think he's hurting." New England coach .Bill Belichick was not available to ar.dy ~pond to Young's comments, and Patriots spokesman Stacey James declined to do so. "I don't think the ankle will be an issue," Belichick was quoted as saying in Thursday's pool report, which said Brady rolled out "without any sign of a limp" and stayed after practice for five minutes with No. 3 quarterback Damon Huard. The Patriots have won eight con- !he Patriots' passing records. But after he was injured in Week 2, Brady replaced him, held the starting job when Bledsoe recovered and led New England to !he AFC East tide. Brady starred in a 16-t3 overtime victory over the Oakland Raiders in the Patriots' first playclff game, but he was hurt in the second quarter of the conference championship. This time it was Bledsoe coming off the bench to rescue !he team. That forced Belichick to pick one to start in the Super Bowl, and he chose Brady. Good m011e, according to Young and f~Uow Super Bowl MVPs Mootana and Joe Namath. "I liked him from the first day I saw him;' Namath said. "He's tough and his teammates love him and he's got a great future. I think it's a great luxury .to have Bledsoe. too. I know the team has confidence in both of those . guys." . Namath, the architect of one of !he greatest Super Bowl upsets when the Jets beat the Colts 16-7, said he wouldn't count out .the Patriots, who · are 14-point underdogs. That's one of the biggest spreads since the Jets entered the 1969 game getting 18 Newsmaker poin~ . "They can do it ·and I hope they do;' Namath said. "It's not just because they're underd<igs.

In 1999, they did the same thing to their offense. That produced a Super Bowl championship. And now !he Rams are back In the big game, heavy favorites to beat the New England Patriots on Sunday. It's all been according to a grand design !hat has included strong drafts, wise free-agent signings and that pro . football rarity, trades. "You have to use all the resources at your disposal, and l think we've done a· good job of that;' said Rams president of 'football operations Jay Zygmunt. ''Sometimes it's not signing !he original player, this is the right decision:' That was a reference to defensive end Kevin Carter, who feU fiom All- Pro to alldisappointrnent , and, last year, was traded to Tennessee for a firstround pick. Had Carter accepted !he Rams' offer, the team wouldn't have been able ro sign safety Kim Herring or trade for cornerback Aeneas Williams. "It's the value of players, being selective and signing certain players you can't replace or must have," Zygmunt added. "It's as much a qualitative analysis :is quantitative. "We have to be cognizant we can't keep everybody, but we have to keep the right guys." That would mean quarterback Kurt Warner, running back Marshall Faulk . and wide receiver Isaac . Bruce. After that trio led !he Rams to !heir first Super Bowl crown in '99, the organization made certain to sign them to long-term contracts. But the Rams also ffiade sure !hey didn't mortgage the future to do it, !he way the Cowboys and 49ers did, causing their demise in the late 1990s. "It's where you want to move your money;' Zygmunt said. "San Francisco and Dallas kept pushing it back and their day of reckoning came. We are not in that situation." Indeed, 37 Rams are under contract for next season, at least. Zygmunt projects the team ·will not struggle to stay under the projected 2002 salary cap of $72 million. Even if the three prime free agents - middle linebacker London Aetcher, wide receiver Az Zahir-Hakim and defensive Leonard Litde -· are not re~ signed, it would not be a devastating blow. , Few pro' sports teams these days have as many stars as the Rams. Here's how !he Rams, first under coach Dick Vermeil and now under Mike Martz, did that: -They dealt a 1999 second-round and fifth-round draft pick to Indianapolis fur Faulk, who was the perfect back for the high-speed offense Vermeil was installing. Today, Faulk would be ·Worth, well, at least what New Orleans paid for Ricky Williams. -Warner was signed as the thirdstring quarterback in 1998 after bouncing around !he Arena League and NFL Europe. When Trent Green wrecked his knee in the '99 preseason, Vermeil gave Warner a shot. The rest is two-time MVP history. -Thanks to a 4-12 record in '98,St. Louis owned !he sixth ov,erall pick, which it used for Torry Holt, a gamebreaking receiver who fit right in from !he outset. -In 1997,Vermeil sci coveted tackle Orlando Pace he traded up to the first overall slot to grab the Ohio State AllAmerican who has turned into an AllPro. -When !he de!ense let them down . in 2000, the Rams rebuilt through the draft, free agency and trades. They hired .Lovie Smith as coordinator. They dealt . Carter, freeing up more than $5 million. They also drafted rookies Adam Archuleta and Tommy Polley and signed free agent Don Davis - all major factors on the league's most improved unit. BY TONY M.

OVRDC, based in Waverly, assists a number of southern Ohio counties, including Gallia, is obtaining federal and state funding for major projects. The. caucus, consisting of local officials and citizens, meets throughout the year. Meeting with the caucus at the county commissioners' office, OVRDC Executive Director Jeff Spencer said state budget cuts will impact, but not eliminate, Galli a projects already proposed for funding. "Projects are on hold until July with the state budget cuts," Spencer said. "The good news is we haven 't lost any projects. We're delaying them until. the start of the new fiscal year." Due to additions to the listing of what are considered economically distressed counties in Ohio, Spencer said there is increased competition for development dollars. But those funds may also increase due to the need, h'e added. The current top five Gallia projects are led by a $300,000 utilities replace ment project for Gallipolis' 2 1/2 Alley, sought by the city, in which $240,000 in Appalachian Regional Commission funds are 'requested.

James M. Gavin Power Plant created by its process of reducing nitrogen oxide emissions was welcome news for employees and Cheshire-area residents. We a~plaud this move because it demonstrates AEP is.no callous corporate giant that ignores environmental fears. It is taking a step io eruure the plant, its second-largest coal burning generating unit, is safe and poses no risk to its neighbors. Selective catalytic reduction techqology, known as SCR, was installed at Gavin last May f~r use during the summer and fall months when ozone levels are higher, as dictated by Clean Air Act rules. It was a new process when proposed in 2000, and when the community protested the possibility of storing significant amounts of ammonia, which .is critical to .the process, at Gavin, AEP chose to go another route. That route was urea, or pellet-form ammonia, shipped in to the plant and practically eliminating risks associated with storing liquid ammonia on site. SCR is a new process and will only be in its second year of operation this May. Gavin employees have learned ab()ut it as they went along. It appears they're making the commitment to learn about another aspect of the technology when new systems are put in to inhibit sulfur trioxide emissions, which caused the changed appearance of the. plume and sent it to gfl)und levels. These systems will go on generating Unit 2 this May ~d officials will study its operation before its use becomes more widespread. · Sometimes small steps have to be taken to correct a problem.

When past years' defense budgets are adjusted for inflation, the biggest ever was under President Reagan in 1985, $451.8 billion. Overall, the documents say, Bush would spend S396. r billion for defense next year.

Dally Hill made. his presence known as the Meigs 'D' collapsed on Connolly. Hill p·u mped in ten, while Curt Crouch, Jordan Hill and Craig Randolph added two, two, and one respectively. Southern put the defensive clamps on Williamson and Bush, forcing Meigs to a perimeter game, where Meigs had limited success. Siders kept Meigs afloat with a long three, and Hannan added four points, however, Williamson · and Bush were held to just two points in the stint. A combination. of Meigs · not being patient in its offense and a step-up in defensive tempo from Southern was one of the main differences in the third frame. The result was a 48-39 Southern lead at th e end of three frames. Southern lost one of its best ball handlers and scoring threats early in the final round, when Jordan Hill went down with the ankle sprain following a lay- up attempt. Dallas Hill then took over offensively. Hill made wise de cisions in taking the ball to the hole on two key drives, hit a long three, and also did a great job pulling the ball back out front when he was stopped by the M eigs defense. Connolly drew the foul when going to thf hole, hitting 5-of-6 free throws when the game was still . at a pivotal stage in the last round. Buzzy Fackler knocked down a three that cut the SHS 13- point lead to ten at 56-46, then Southern ·went on an eleven two run to end the game. Contributing baskets the last round were Randolph, Wes Burrows, and Macy R ees, while Williamson and Doug Dill had a pair of scores for Meigs.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)Suspended P~triots wide ~receiver Terry Glenn lw been following his te~mmates' doings from his home in Columbus, Ohio, and that's where he'll be for Sun~y's Super Bowl, he told The Boston Globe. "It's going co be ~ little hard to -tch," he told the paper in an interview published Fri~y. "I've been watching the sruff going on down there. I think it's given me a little more motivation to get things right and just play football again." The NFL suspended Glenn for the first four games of the year for missing a drug test in violation of the league's subst~nce-abuse policy. He rerurtied on Oct. 14 against San Diego and had seven ·catches for 110 yards· and a touchdown, but was inactive for the next siX games because of a hamstring injury · and a contract dispute. . The team suspended Glenn for the Dec. 2 game against the New York Jets after he refused to practice. Glenn came back and played three more games before the Patriots put him on the inactive list for ,the regularseason finale against Carolina. · When he missed more team meetings and practices, coach Bill Belichick suspended Glenn for the playoffi. Without their No. 1 receiver, the Patri'Ots made it all the -y to the Super Bowl. ''I'm happy for ·those guys. I'm not a part of what's going on, but you know I have some link," Glenn said ·I I ''I think it's best, especially the way things have gone, that I'm not around. "They haven't needed me: They don't need Glenn me. They've proved· that. I'm not upset about it. In some -ys I wish I was there because it's the Super Bowl, and I remember what that was like in 1996." Glenn is fifth on the Patriots all-time list with 4,669 yards and fourth in catches with ·329. The 27-year-old Glenn made the Pro Bowl in 1999, when he caught 69 passes for 1,147 yards and four touchdowns. But because of all the missed time, Glenn has just 14 receplions for 204 yards and one touchdown 'this season. Although he could earn more than $100,000 in bonuses if the Patriots be:.t the St. Louis Rams, whether G!erui would get a Super Bowl ring is up to the team. "He helped us win some games," his friend, wide recieverTroyBrownsaid."Ijustwish he had better people around him I<? help him make better decisions," On Thunday, NFL Players chief Gene Association Upshaw said he hoped Glenn's multiple grievances could be· consoli~ted and resolved in a single case. ' ~ ; '< The union is also investigating whether ~he _ P_a.triots can place Glenn on the expansion list even though he wasn't on the active roster at the beginning or end of the season. And the union -nts to resolve grievances over Glenn's signing bonus so the Houston Texans would know how much he would count against the salary cap. Glenn a,lso has filed a lawsuit claiming the NFL discriminated against him because he suffers from depression, a disability that he contends caused him to miss a drug test and resulted in the first of several suspension. "It's b~en a tough year. I feel like I never played football this year for the first time in my life. I felt like I Wol!' just going through one. bad thing after . another:• Gl.e nn said. "! just want it io end." That would allow him to focus on finding a place to play next year. "I hope we can just go ahead and settle it:' Glenn said. "Let's take the month of February, talk, negotiate, whatever they have to do, and just let me go to another tearn where I can start my career over. I'd like to be able to get someplace soon · so I could start learning the system." And if- he's still with the Patriots? "If thingS were worked out, sure," he said. ':But with all that's happened, it's best for everyone to just let it go. I mean, the Patriots have made it to the Super Bowl." · . · NEW ORLEANS (AP) ~ Something about the Big Easy seems too easy this Super Bowl week.

Bledsoe is from Washington, but Seattle has made a commitment to Matt Hasselbeck. If the Patriots consider Bledsoc's wishes, they'd be unlikely to send him to Carolina and Cincinnati, two weak teams. But first, he has a game to prepare for, and the Rams don't care who plays quarterback. . "Both are pQcket passers," St. Louis defensive coordinator Lovie Smith said. "Once it was established (Brady) was healthy, we assumed he was going to play. Bledsoe may play, but it's not going to change what we do." A limited role, or none at all, probably won't change Bledsoe's perspective on what happened. · "Every quarterback, if you play long enough, goes through some very difficult times," he said.

Wlld-ca~yotfa NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Anyone who marvels at how the St. Louis Rams rebuilt their defense this season should think back a few years. In 1999, they did the same thing to their offense. That produced a Super Bowl ' . championship. And now the Rams are back in the big game, heavy favorites to beat the New England Patriots,on Sunday. It's all been according to a grand design that has included strong drafts, wise free-agent signings and that pro football rariry, trades. "You have ·to use all the resources at your disposal, and I think we've done a good JOb of that," said Rams president of football operations Jay Zygmunt. "Sometimes it's not signing the original player, this is the right decision." That was a reference to defensive end Kevin Carter, who fell from AllPro' to all-disappointment and, last year, was traded to Tennessee for a first-round pick. Had Carter acceptJed the Rims' olfer, the team wouldn't have been .able to sign safery Kim Herring or tr•de for cornerback Aeneas Williams. "It's the value of playen, being selective and signing certain players you can't l:lilplace or must have," Zygmunt addelt. "l~s as much a qualitative analysis as quantitative. ."We have to be cognizant we can't keep everybody, but we have to keep the right guys." That would mean quarterback Kurt Warner, running back Manhall Faulk and wide receiver Isaac Bruce. After that trio led the Rams to their fine Super Bowl crown in '99, the organi.zation made certain to sign them to long-term contracts. But the Rams also made, sure they didn't mortgage the future to do 1t, the way the Cowboys and 49ers did, causing their demise in the late 1990s. . "It's where yo·u want to move your money," Zygmunt said. "San Francisco and Dallas kept pushing it back and thl!ir day of reckoning came. We are not in that situation." Indeed, 37 Rams are under contract for next season, at least.

He thinks it is a good time to tie the knot because it was lucky for them~ and after all, there would be an 18-year difference in the wedding anniversaries. I view my sister's reaction as demonstrating a twinly competitiveness I thought we had outgrown long ago.

(APJ You are wished fair weather and fresh wind ... and always love. Congratulations on your marnage." .~ Hallmark would not divulge what it had paid Angelou. However, Paul Barker, senior vice president for creative development at Hallmark, said, "Retailers are very positive.about how well it is moving.' ' To develop the line, Hall- mark staff met with Angelou in her home. "Sometimes they stayed overnight,'' she said. "And . I cooked for people, and we . sat and talked.

Months later, ground zero has turned into an excavation site, and some of these maps and images have undergone a transformation as welL They are now works of art. "Charting Ground Zero: · Before and After," a show that opened Friday at the Woodward Gallery in SoHo, features the analytical tools that · were as essential to the recovery effort as cranes, dump. trucks and blowtorch- 'es. 0 the gallery's presentation. The neat geometry of th'e visual data - and the Life Saver hues that indicate elevation - .stand in contrast to the stark, smoky realiry of aerial photographs hanging nearby. Other maps are simpler, more utilitarian. One map locates . petroleum storage tanks on the skewed grid of lower Manhattan. Red indi. cates a rupture: yellow tanks are intact. ,Some pieces were created without a specific function in mind. For example, a black and white photograph of the standing twin towers overlaid with the colored LIDAR depiction of their ruins would not be out of place among other works of art. It's like a ghostly X- ray, a premonition. Printed on canvas, stfetched over frames and covered in a protective varnish, the pieces have been dressed up as art. Presenting them on the gallery's pristine white walls puts distance between them. and , their original-purpose. · But Sean Ahearn seems wary of viewing the images as art alone. As director of Hunter College's Center for the A~alysis of Spatial Information, Ahearn is intimately familiar with the show's contents. He and his team created most of the maps, working closely with New York's ,Office of Emergency Management and mapping experts from other organizations. "There are elements o( beauty" in the maps, "but it's extraordinary destruction that you're looking at as well," Ahearn said before the show's opening on Friday.

According to the Bethlehem-Pa.-based National Assoc1at1on of Colleges and Employers, companies plan to hire 20 percent fewer employees this year than last. (APJ is going to change. And people understand what our role is," Harriger said. George Mason also began Super Saturday last fall. Employers are invited to come to campus for mock interviews and to critique student resumes. Andy Ceperley, director of the career center at Santa Clara, said today's job market is the toughest since the early 1990s and especially tough in nearbf Silicon Valley. "We have had to try to get a little more creative," he said. "We're trying to ensure that our students' resumes are better than they have ever been." THE TOP FIVE I PROUD TO BE APART OF YOUR LIFE. 1990s graduates share with students how to find jobs during tough times. Alex Ruiz, a 1990 graduate who now works for an lnternet marketing company in New York City, is to . be among thtill. After graduation, Ruiz took several temporary jobs before landing an . investment-banking position eight months later. "That was more valuable than sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the perfect job to come up,'~ Ruiz said. Alice Tenney, director of placement services at Wittenberg, said many recruiters have canceled campus visits, . but that she has convinced • some to come for mock interviews to give seniors practice. "This is not a year you can blow real interviews when you get them because there are not going to be as many of them," she said. Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co. Is among companies that are scaling back on their campus visits. Spokeswoman Linda Ullery said the company will visit about 50 campuses this year, down from previous years. She did not know how many campuses the company has visited in the past. At George Mason, company responses to mass e-mail inquiries about jobs dropped as the economy soured. So, the school qegan ·making telephone calls. "The shoe is on the other foot," said Pat Carretta, director of career services. "When times are fat, they call me." Christine Harriger, the school's manager of recruiting, scours newspapers for articles that iqdicate a com~a­ ny may be ready to hire and calls managers there. "It's a pretty warm reception.They know the economy has been practicing folkloric herbalism for over 20 years. She has transformed her vast knowl~dge of herbs into a vocation aimed at educating the public on both the health benefits and enjoyment of drinking tea. "I started getting into tea parties several years ago,'' said Parker. "I taught a continuing-education course (Afternoon Tea 585) at Ohio State University through the ·s chool's Creative Activities Program and was elated to see the number of individuals who attended." "The class was ver'f stimulating for all involved;' she added. "Tea drinking is currently experiencing a resurgence, as people·are becoming · more health conscious." "Tea parties offer a pleasaqt at~r~osphere to meet friends and possesses · a ·more elegant ambiance than a bar, which is· often filled with smoke and loud music,'' said Parker. · Even though the gatherings present an excellent opportu- . niry to sample ·parker's array of tasry, homemade teas, namely Tranquili, Garden WisdQm, Sip 'n Soothe, and . Gentle Wind, the parties are, in fact, an informative session that highlights the history of tea, the health benefits of drinking tea, table settings, preparation and etiquette. Parker said there are several _different types of tea parties to . choose from, with prices ranging from S 10-$25 per person. A minimum of six people is required for each . function and customized parties are available upon request, she added. "Taking tea 's hould resonate contentment. It is a time to put aside business and relax, · much like ·a Mexican siesta," said Parker. "Nothing is more comfotting than a warm cup of tea, sipped leisurely with friends. It is . a magic better than any medicine.'' For more information on Parker's tea parties, call 740742-8901, or visit her website at www.HealingHeartHerbals.com MORE LOCAL FOLKS Arista. 3.

BY PAM WIWAMSON AND DAN ADKINS TIME5-SENTINEL STAFF POINT PLEASANT,W.Va·. -With the release· of the major motion picture "The Mothman Prophecies" last week, a lot of money is going to be pocketed by .the film company and trickle down to all of members of the cast and crew that helped create the film, which opened at No. 6last weekend, according to box office reports. But here in the tri-county area of Mason, Gallia and Meigs counties, some have figured out ways to cash in on the local legend in their own way with cr~ations suCh ·as plu"ib figurines, books, T-shirts, video games and even food items such as pizza and pasta dishes. . And all have proven to be quite profitable thus far. The first and likely most popular cash-in to come down the pipe is "Mothman -The Facts Behind The Legend," a book orchestrated locally. With a inission to present the facts about Mothman and improve tourism into the county, "Mothman" authors Donnie Sergent Jr. and Jeff Wamsley · set about a year ago collecting newspaper clippings, transcribing police reports and conducting interviews with willing.participants. "The book is stricdy a documentary presentation about the Mothman sightings and facts about Point Pleasant," Wamsley said." We decided from day one that this project would contain factual information and nqthing contrived or embellished." Publisher M~rk PhiUips of Market~ ing and Design Group, Huntington, created the book's design and helped push publication in December 2001 in time to beat the release of the ' mov1e. The 164-page book provides the curious with previously unpublished information about eyewitness Time to choose spring plants POMEROY - It's not. too late for both farmers and homeowners to 'research out and select seeds and lining out stock for this spring's planting season. The color pictures in the catalogs and farm supply flyers beckon us to purchase a multitude of new or re-introduced old time favorite plants for the spring season. It's difficult to choose just a few plants, however, as both space and money become limiting factors. Our commercial horticulture farmers have already started to plant for the spring season. Cabbage seedlings are sprouted and a broad ·multitude of atinuals, perennials, hanging baskets and tubs are ·already growing in the greenhouses awaiting the first days of. spring. Don't forget to have soil tests taken for your lawn, garden and fields and sent away for analysis. This small investment reaps many rewards as the fertilizer and lime you spread on the land may grealily ·increase your yield. ' Don't wait too long to decide what needs to be purchased and planted, as the first -day of spring is only 45 days away.

In the health care field, nurses and physicians obviously are very important, but Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) may be one of the most crucial positions working behind the scenes. Using microscopes and various other pieces of highly technical laboratory equipment, MLTs ana lyze " human blood and tissue, throat cultures and other bodily fluids and specimens looking for signs of disease. However, they do not usually have direct patient contact.

Without these essential services that MLTs provide, accurate diagnosis would take . longer and many patients would not receive the appropriate medical treatment.

MLT students take fascinatmg classes such as human anatomy, chemistry, hematology, microbiology an<;! immunology.

In !he process, Democnts have taken the unusual step of releasing a list of the effort to projects and their sponsors in defend them from -administration attacks. They say the projects - mostly for day care centers and other school and health programs - are valuable because lawmakers know what is needed back home. Included in !he list are 18 projects sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.; 14 by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.; four by Senate Minority Le-ader Trent Lott, RMiss.; and five by House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. . President Bush's budget, to be released Monday. will propose including !he projects among $2.1 billion worth of programs he would cut to tree up money for the Pell Gnnt prognm for low-income an college students. He will ask Congress to choose enough cuts to save $1.3 billion. The projects, sponsored by lawmakers of both parties, are worth $905.8 million, according to · congressional figures. They were inserted into !he $123 billion labor, education and health bill for this year that Congress passed overwhebningly in December. Citing Bush's appeal for bipartisan cooperation in his State of !he Union address, Rep. pavid Obey, D-Wis., said of the proposed cuts, "This is exactly the kind of beha'vior we don't need if we expect to su~eed." The Education Department, which 0 announced !he proposed cuts, said when lawmakers write such projects into spending bills, it "undermines carefiilly crafted laws and procedures governing how to distribute federal funds designed to ensure that taxpayer dollars support nationaJ interests." Critics deride the spending as "pork," and Bush has been trying unsuccessfully to eliminate many of the projects. According to the White House budget office, !here were 7,803 such projects in regular spending bills Congress passed last fa])., compared with 6,454 the year before. Meanwhile, it seemed unlikely that House Republicans would propose a balanced btldget this election year, despite a continuing effort by conservatives to urge that on their colleagues. At a private retreat Thursday for QOP lawmakers at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, was among several who argued in favor of a balanced budget for 2003, participants said. \ Melp CoUnty's HoMetown Newspaper .
