PIS CES (Fch . 21l - M arch ODOT's original bid date was Dec. 6, but the department determined through the pre- bid process that il would be beneficial to the highway department and potential conlractors to postpone that date until at"ter ihe holidays. Collins said. "Some co ntractors raised concerns that specific ve ndor informa tion crucial to the bid process might not be available in the initial time frame set by ODOT." Collins said. "By allowing additional time, ODOT may receive bids we wouldn't have· received otherwise. This, of course, increases the likelihood of a lower bid, which benefits the bidder, ODOT and Ohio taxpayers. It's a win-win situation." Since construction .is not likely to begin until. spring, the postponed sale date should not delay previously announced pr.oject start and completion dates, Collins said. "We st ill expect · construction to begin when winter"weather breaks, thou gh specific project scheduling is at the discretion of' the contractor." Construction will take three construction seasons to, complete, Collins said. The bridge is expected to be open in summer, 2006.

"The pre-bid meeting aHows both the department and interested contractors to clarify !heir expectations in regard to-a projec t,'' Collins said. "This help s the contractors to prepare for the bid process. Jt also helps to eliminate confusion and communication prob lems after the project is under way."

The Policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No Lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a Saint. I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny, That wasn't mine tokeep.

Meigs County Calendar LAYTON'S VIEW •Lotts resignation was proper ·thing to do for nation, GOP Sen. Trent Lott's resig nation from the post of majo(ity leader for the incoming Senate is a step in the right direction li1r the Republican party and the nation. Hi s comments at Sen. Strom Thurmond's birthday party were insensit ive. to say the least. They reminded the nation of a time hest forgotten when separate was definitely not equal. But. Lott's resignation also says a lot about how far the country has come. In the days of yore when Thurmond was running as ·a segregationist of the Dixiecrat ticket for president or the Unit eo States, racist comments similar to what Lott said would ha ve heen ignored at the very least, welcomed at the very n\ost. In 1948 , separate but equal .was the statu.s quo .and few spoke out aga inst it in many regions of the country. Those that did speak or act against thi s tyrannical majority did so at the peril or their lives. The Civil Rights movement did not happen becau.1e people timidly accepted the status quo. They fought to change things for the better so that a dream could be realized. Though there is still a· tong way to go, things have changed. School systems are integrated. African-Americans now sit on ·the U.S . Supreme Court, are elected to Congress and occupy high posts in the president's cabinet. Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, national security adviser, are shining examples of how far we have come as a nation. The nation's . condemnation .of Lott stands as· a sterling exam ple of who we are as a people today. Racism is no longer the acce pted status quo, but. an archaic attitude 'from the past. Lott's resignation stands as a symbol of this progress. The yesteryear of 1948 is .. gone with the wind." Lott should have known better. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOC IATED PRESS 7Yent Lott's resignation is PC McCarthyism at its finest •.• In the wake of the Republican election victory, leftist liberals (particularly those at the New York Times) were feeling sorry for themselves and looking for someone to blame. Then Sen. Trent Lott happened. It was a godsend to the liberal estab· lishment who sicced the media on Mr. Lott for his unfortunate comments at Sen. Strom Thurmond's party. Practically every newspaper in the . country carried Lott's comments: "When Strom Thurmond ran for pres· ident, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had fol· lowed our lead , we wouldn't 'have had all these problems over all these years, either." The liberal establishment was ecstatic about the gaffe because they could say over and over and over again that Lott, future majority leader in the Senate, was an evil, racist Republican- and by connection all Republicans are racist. It was the "see, I told you so" attitude that started this. Lott 's, remarks, while not necessarily intelligent, are by no means racist. What Loti's unfortunate comments say to people gathered to honor Thurmond, who has dedicated nearly I 00 years of his life to service, is that Lott supports the idea of less federal with the "see, I told you ~publicans : are evil racists!" It is also a victory for politically cor-· rect McCarthyism that is te~ing this country l!part by making people afraid · to speak beyond mere platitudes for fear of offending someone. · Recently, some lunatics claimed that using Native American names and traditions for 4,H camps in West Virginia ' was politically incorrect. These are the COLUMNIST same type of idiots who trust Saddam · Hussein over President Bush in the war on terror. government in our lives.

Wahama and Point Pleasant . represented Mason County admirably with numerous wins in a tournament where all of the wrestlers fought . hard and refused to give up. One of the most exciting moments came in the early afternoon when Point Pleasant wrestler . Jusiin Cullen matched up with Wahama's Perry Ellis in the 119-pound weight class. Ellis won the match on points, 9-1. The matchup of two wrestlers was intertesting enough but an additional twist was added since Cullen is Point Pleasant coach Jack Cullen's son and the family affair grew deeper since Cullen is also Wahama coach Tom Cullen's nephew. The match started at a slow and methodical pace as the two wrestlers got a feel for each other but ·soon each wrestler had picked his spots and was trying . to score a takedown . Ellis, a junior, had the advantage of a little more power over Cullen, a fresh- man. "Perry's got a little more age on him and a little more stregnth, but Justin's a good little wrestler," said Wahama coach Cullen. "Perry's (Ellis) used to being able to overpower kids at the I03 weight class but he's got to use a few more moves and not rely on hi s stregnth."

(Doug Shipley) GAHS takes out Rtver Valley BY BUTCH .COOPER Staff writer RIO GRANDE, Ohio .- Gallia Academy once again jumped out to a sizable lead with the help of great defensive play. This time, the Blue Devils didn't let up. Gallia Academy, with a more experienced squad on the court, jumped on top of a young River· valley team 33-8 at halftime to go on to a 58-26 victory at the Lyne Center. 'Tonight, we knew River Valley was going to be fired up to play," said Gallia Academy head coach Jim Osborne. "We needed to match their enthusiasm with ours and get back to our basics." The Blue Devils took an 18-1 lead at the end of the first quaner, which was reminiscent of their outing three days earlier when they took a 21-3 advantage going into the second quarter against Athens. But, the Devils, who had to hold on to beat Athens 44-43 Tuesday after the Bulldogs had outscored the Devils 40-23 in the final three quarters, kept the defensive pressure on the Raiders, who were unable to overcome the early onslaught. · "We were thoroughly disgusted with ourselves after the three quarters we played against Athens, so we got back some to the fundamentals of defensive pressure," said Osborne. "And we said we wanted to get the ball inside and score, which we didn' t do against Athens after the first quarter." "It's frustratin g," added River Valley head coach Gene Layton of the loss. "It 's tough mentally o.n players if the shots aren 't dropping and you start getting down. It' s really tough mentally on kids to keep going hard and keep going after it. It wares on you." The key Friday was Gallia Academy's ability to keep River Valley from getting · the ball to their inside post pl aye rs Dakota DeWitt and Steve Harder.

(Doug Shipley) RICHWOOD, W.Va. -Veteran Wahama High School baseball coach Gordon Spencer added another honor to his mounting list of accomplishments recently when the highly successful White Falcon diamond mentor was recently inducted into the Richwood High School Hall ofFame. . Spencer participated in football and baseball prior to graduating from Richwood in 1968. After becoming a Lumbeljack alumnus Spencer went on to star on the gridiron for four years at Glenville State College before coming to Wahama to begin his illustrious coaching career. In addition to his achievements while at Richwood, being the recipient of two West Virginia High School Baseball coaches of the year awards and a pair of Class A state baseball championships during his 27-year tenn a~ the White Falcon diamond· mentor supponed Spencer's selection into an elite group ofRichwood alumni. ~t was shocked to say the least when I learned of my selection into the Hall of Fame at Richwood High School," said Spencer. 'The criteria for being choseq noi only requires that you be a successful athlete while in -high school, you must continue to excel in life after you've graduated." Spencer will join an elite class in his high school hall of fame that includes former Olympic gold medal winner Mike Barrett and li:mner West Virginia University football star Joel Hicks who recently recorded his 300th grid win as a high school football coach. Spencer participated in baseball and football at Richwood and had several colleges seeking his services on the gridii<Jn at the next level. "I played baseball at Richwood but found out early on that football would be my sport in college," Spencer said. Glenville became his college choice where he played football for four seasons as a 230-pound · lineman which was small for a college lineman even in those days. He led the interior line in blocking percentage for the Pioneers in both his junior and senior years before gmduating in 1972. Wahama became Spencer's next stop where he began his coaching career as an assistant football coach and the junior high basketball coach. He also directed the WHS wrestling program for two years before taking over the head baseball coaching duties in the spring of 1975. Twenty-seven · years later, Spencer has guided the WHS diamond program to a pair of Class A State Championships, . two state runner-up berths, four Regional Crowns, an amazing 17 sectional titles and an unprecedented 23 winning seasons. The long-time Bend Area ba~eball administrator .was named the West Virginia High School Baseball Coach of the Year during the 1980 and 1996 seasons. "I received the coach of the year award twice but personally I felt I was deserving on just one occasion," a modest Spencer stated. "My feeling is that to be a coach of the year you should take your team further than what is expected. I believe that if you have the really gifted athletes anyone can be successful but when you don't have that caliber of players and you succeed then you've really accomplished something ·as a coach." "Without the help of a fantastic assistant coach for a number of years in Tom Cullen along with the assistance from the athletes, parents . and coaches in the juniorleagues I don't think I would have been nominated for the hall of .fame at Richwood High School," Spencer added. "I've had foriner players come back and volunteer their time to help out and the sununer league coaches are teaching the fundamentals these kid~ need to sustain a successful spring program so much of the credit should go to those people." Sometime this spring Spencer is hoping to . attain his SOOth baseball coaching victory at Walmma. During his 27 year tenn at the Mason County School SIJ\!nCer has guided the WHS diamond program to a 480-271-1 record while competing against anyone who would schedule the White Falcons. Under Spencer's direction Wahama ha~ evolved into one of the dominant baseball prognuns in the state and much of that accomplishment can be attributed to Gordon Spencer, Richwood High School's newest Hall of fmne inductee. ··- ........ - --·-·- ------ �Saturday, December 21,2002 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV Some WSU fans angry that Price staying for Rose Bowl \Ohio State free safety Will Allen (26) is mobbed by teammates after intercepting the last offensive play by Michigan in the Buckeyes 14-9, Nov. 23 in Columbus.

(AP)Mike Price is staying at Washington State through the Rose Bowl, even though he accepted the coaching job at Alabama. That doesn't sit well with . many of the Cougars' fans. Athletic Director Jim Sterk has received scores of angry telephone calls and e-mails from boosters calling for Price to step aside and allow hi s successor, defensive coordinator Bill Doha, to lead the team to Pasadena. The sevent h-ra'nked Cougars (I 0-2) will play No. 8 Oklahoma ( 1)-2) on Jan. I. Newspaper columnists across the Pacific Northwest called for the lame-duck coach to turn the team over to Doba, who has endorsed the co-coaching arrangement. Kelly Lindemann of .East Wenatchee summed it up in a lener to Th'e (Spokane) Spokesman-Review · ·on Friday: "Rose Bowl ticket: $125. Round-tri p air fare to California: $400. Washington State victory over Oklahoma: Price-Less." Several Web sites are filled with postings from fans who want WSU officials to show Price the door before the Rose Bowl. Sterk said retaini11g Price for the Rose Bowl was his idea, because it gives the Cougars the best chance. of winning . The reaction from fan s was e~pected, he said. " You have got passionate people who care about the program," Sterk said. " But after a few days, you think and find there is a rational side to this thing." Reuben Mayes, a former Cougars player who works in the university's athletic fundraising department, said he hasn ' I kept trdck of the volume of e-mails and calls. "I can tell you people are voic, ing their opinion," he said Friday. • Mayes, who set the WSU career rushing record of 3,519 yards from 1982- 1985, said officials haven't yet determined whether the dispute will affect donations for athletic scholarships. University president V. Lane Rawlins appointed an assistant to document the Purple Rai~ers shoot for third straight . Division Ill title negative comments his office has received, and he planned to respond later. He was traveling Friday and unavailable for comment, although he earlier endorsed Sterk's deci" sion to allow Price t,o continue coaching. A recorded message at Sterk's office Thursday and Friday said the telephone system was experiencing a large volume of calls. Cougars players say they have mixed emotions about the situation, bunealize that Price and his assistants give the team the best chance of beating the Sooners. "It's a linle awkward," cornerback Jason David said after practice Thursday, presided over by Price and Doha. " But like ·Coach (Price) told us, if he left, he was going to take his whole staff with him. He coached the whole year, so I guess it's only right he should coach the Rose Bowl." Rien Long, the Cougars ' All-America defensive tackle, said the team will play for other reasons than its former coach. '"We're playing for ourselves, we're playing for the Cougars and we're playing for the fans,'" he said. "Coach Price isn't a part of us anymore. He's going to help us win this game, but he's 'chosen to take the Crimson Tide road.:' " We're playing for our" . selves, coach Doba and the coaches that are staying." · Price's resignation takes effect Jan . 2. In Tuscaloosa, he will replace Dennis Franchione, who left to take the Texas A&M job. Some boosters suspect that Price might use the Ro se Bowl as a recruiting tool for the Crimson Tide, not the crimson and gray. Alabama is scheduled to play Oklalloma next season: Price said that until he leaves for good, he will devote all of his energy to winning the Rose Bowl. "It's the most important thing in my life that we win this Rose Bowl right now," he said. "This team has a chance to be the greatest football team in the hi story of Washington State!' Saturday, December 21, 2002 T~d William ' body will remain frozen after daughter drops fight INVERNESS , Fla. (A P) Ted Williams' eldest daughter dropped her objections Fridav to her siblings' decision to have the Hall ofFamer's body frozen al a cryonics lab in Arizona. Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell relented after Circuit Judge Patricia Thomas agre ed to allow a $645,000 trust to be distributed equally among Ferrell, half"brother JohnHenry Williams and half-sister Claudia Williams . The trust was written so that no money would have been distributed until 2012, 10 years after the Boston Red Sox slugger 's death July 5. Ferrell could not afford to continue the legal fight to have her father unfrozen and cremated . The legal fight would have cost $250,000 and Ferrell already had spent $87,000, sa id her husband, Mark Ferrell. "The financial cost of my struggle would be extraordi" nary and would result in significant difficulties for my family,"" Ferrell said in a statement read by her husband over the telephone . ;' I' m at peace with the decision and I know that my father will understand." Added Mark Ferrell, "We were whipped." Ferrell had sued to have the court decide whether her father should be cremated and his ashes scattered in the ocean off Florida, as the avid fisherman specified in his 1996 will. Her siblings maintained they signed a handwritten pact with him in 2000 agreeing that their bodies would be frozen. Shortly after Williams died at 83 of cardiac arrest, JohnHenry had his father's body moved to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona, where it was frozen.
