Or, Scott Smith, D.O., and his colleagues at the ••· Moher· Meigs 6!itlk in ''Po1\;c:r0y ate seeing as many as 100 flu and cold-related cases a day. Smith said Friday that symptoms of your winter illness should tell you what exaccly it is, how to treat it, and whether those around you are at risk of catching it from you. Smith and his colleagues now have access to an antibody which allows in-office diagnosis of the .flu and lets the patient to leave the office knowing for sure if he is the victim of influenza, or, as Smith said is more common at the moment, bronchitis, sinusitis or an upper respiratory infection - a cold . The symptoms also tell the story, Smith said. With flu , the pat,ient will experience sudden onset of a fever of 101 or higher, for a three to four-day period; a dry but often persistent cough; headache and muscle aches; and weakness and 'extreme ehaustion. Cold symptoms onset more gradually, and include a milder headache and fever, with rare instances of muscle aches and less-pronounced weakness and exhaustion. Cold symptoms, while they sometimes present in flu cases, are generally secondary to the actual flu symptoms, Smith said. Antibiotics may work for an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis, but stand no chance against the flu , which is caused by a virus, spread to the' · nose and throat. lWo anti-virals, Relenza and Flumadine, seen in" frequent television .commercials this winter, are: now prescribed to treat severe flu cases, but Smith: JIIIIM . . . !' 1999Chevy Monte Carlo LS Coupe II' ~1,9 • Poww WlndoWI ALockl 'I• ''• • • • •• •,. • • Good Morning!

"If he reaches across the aisle, if he really does try to bring us together, we need that," ·Byrd said of Bush Thursday on CNN's "Larry King Live."

CHARLESTON (AP) - One of rhe ' country's oldest experiments in cradle-tograve health care will become a national demonstration project for adding prescription drug benefits to Medicare. The project will provide $140 million in government funds over the next three years and staves off the threat of benefit cuts to an estimated 60,000 retired coal miners and their dependents~ said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. "This is the best news in years for retired miners. It will showcase the economic benefits ·of providing a ,drug benefit under ' - ~ ,. . .. '. . Medicare," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, DW.Va ., who announced the funding plan Friday. "I am confident that this demonstration will show that traditional Medicare benefits can be even more efficiently and economically provided by adding prescription drug coverage," Rockefeller said. The United Mine Workers benefit trust funds were created . by the UMW and the U.S. InteriorDepartment in 1946 to provide comprehensive health care to UMW members and their dependents. The health care fund's financing has been threatened in recent years by soaring prescription drug prices and a series of court decisions that have allowed mine operators to opt out of paying into the fund . "This is not a permanent solution for retired miners, but it certainly guarantees their benefits for another three years," Rockefeller said.

CHARLESTON (AP) - A state senator who oversees pension ·law changes says he will not support legislation needed to enact a Charleston committee's proposal to solve that city's longterm pension financing problems. Senate Pensions Committee Chairman Bob Plymale, DWayne, said, ''I'm not going to be for raising taxes for something that is the municipalities' responsibility." A Charleston task force has reco mmended increasing police officers' and firefighters' contributions to their pension funds 1 percent and increa.•ing the surcharge on fire and casualty insurance premiums I percent. The premium surcharge would require legislation. Under the plan, the pension plans would be fully funded in 30 years, said Charleston Treasurer Chris Smith, chairn1an of the task force. The city police and fire departments have promised pen.sions to their active and retired employees. The firefighters' fund has only 9 percent of what it has promised to pay and the police fund has 19 ,percent. The firefighter's fund loses $100,000 per year while the police fund gains $600,000 per year. Both funds have enough cash on hand to se nd out pensioners' monthly checks, said assistant state treasurer Jerry Simpson. Until the plans are fully funded, the state requires the city to increase its contribution to the plans by 7 percent every year, the goal being Jo eventually get ihe plans fully funded, Smith said..: Charleston's budget eventually may not be able. to keep up with the annual payments.

Wom~n ·pleads no contest to child neglect in fire deaths MARTINSBURG (AP) -A mother accused of setting a fire that killed her three children has entered a plea agreement. Sara Howard pleaded no contest Friday to three counts of felony child neglect resulting in death. In exchange, prosecutors dropped murder · and arson charges, which carried a possible sentence of up to life in prison without possibility of parole. The child neglect charges carry sentences of three to 15 ·years, said Berkeley County Prosecutor Pamela Games-Neely. Two of the sentences would run concurrently. The third would be consecutive, she said. The judge has ordered a presentencing investigation and is not expected to formally accept the plea or to sentence Howard until April, Games-Neely said. "If the judge rejects it, we're back to square one," she said. Howard was accused of setting fire to her Martinsburg home in the eaiiy morning of Nov. 13, 1999. Prosecutors · . said she climbed out through an upstairs bedroom wind~, going past her . 3-year-old twins Brandi and Cory. Her 4-year-old son Mason was sleeping in another room.All three children died within a week of the fire. The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear Howard's appeal seeking to have the charges against her dismissed. Howard's lawyer, Jerry Dambro, said she decided to plead no contest to the child neglect charges rather than risk conviction on the murder and arson charges. "There's the possibility because of the high emotions of a case like this, that the jury would come back with conviction on some of the counts because three children died:' Dambro said.

The United Mine Workers benefit trust funds were created . by the UMW and the U.S. InteriorDepartment in 1946 to provide comprehensive health care to UMW members and their dependents. The health care fund's financing has been threatened in recent years by soaring prescription drug prices and a series of court decisions that have allowed mine operators to opt out of paying into the fund . "This is not a permanent solution for retired miners, but it certainly guarantees their benefits for another three years," Rockefeller said.

For the first time, academics was cited as a reason for letting Cooper go. People always cite academics when they want a coach fired.

In the final analysis, I figured I would have a stronger commitment to the classroom than any other. candidate would. Most of them haven't seen the inside of a classroom for years. Where I was really lacking was coaching e:>lperience. I haven't played organized football in 28 years and never coached. But I could lose to Michigan and in a bowl game (if we got that far) as well as Cooper, so what did I have to lose? It was important for me to hide the fact that the real reason I wonted the job was for the buyout and the shoe contract. I would let them know they could buy me out for half of what it cost them to other perks. I just loved the prospect of get rid of Cooper.

For the first time, academics was cited as a reason for letting Cooper go. People always cite academics when they want a coach fired.

In the final analysis, I figured I would have a stronger commitment to the classroom than any other. candidate would. Most of them haven't seen the inside of a classroom for years. Where I was really lacking was coaching e:>lperience. I haven't played organized football in 28 years and never coached.

It was important for me to hide the fact that the real reason I wonted the job was for the buyout and the shoe contract. I would let them know they could buy me out for half of what it cost them to other perks. I just loved the prospect of get rid of Cooper.

Last summer, I placed my firstborn child in an . adoptive home, something I thought long and ·hard about before doing. In the last two jobs I've had, my female co-workers judged me harshly for this choice. Every day I had to endure comments about my decision, to the point I dreaded going to work. I quit D'ne of these jobs, in part due to the sttess it caused me. Now I'm in a new job, and I vowed i'd lie ~bout my decision. Unfortunately, lying has gotten . me nowhere. Now my co-workers think I have custody of my child and wonder why I don't bring pictures or talk about her. I don't talk about her or bring pictures because I fear it will open up more questions, and I'll get caught in another lie. I ·haven't for~ven myself for • , aQ~f•ung :. my .dflughter.

Included on the Centerville Circuit in time were stOps at New Zion, Madison Furnace, Jlmes, Emory. Rehobeth and many other place~. Some of the~e stops grew into churches, othen did not. It was a tough circuit in the early frontier days with numerous preaching assignments in remote areas. One of the fint pastors on this circuit, which was formed in the 1820's and 1830's, was none other than 11the fighting preacher." During this era these preachers on horseback, calle.d circuit riders, had some rough places to pass through. In such places it was not unusual for "ruffiam" to nop the preacher and make him late for hjs appointments. One day some :'sinners" tried this on Gilruth. But he soon let them know that he could fight as well as preach. After whipping a few of these II!Jllics they were thereafter only too happy to let Gilruth pass on by. Gilruth acquired the reputation of b~ing the "fighting preacher" which was Jf that time the highest praise that could 'be leveled on a frontier minister. James Wiis raised in a pretty tough school. He was not polished in manners. • Growing up in Scioto County, Gilruth }vas always the most athletic young man iD his community. He was about the best r,¥nner, jumper, hopper, wrestler, and 4f'ter. One day he was bragging to his James Sands GUEST COLUMNIST father about ,his skills in running when his pa challenged him to· a race. They would strip off everything but their shirts and run 100 yards down and 100 yards back. James would start ahead of his father going down and the father would start ahead coming back. The one behind would carry a switch which he was free to use for the entire 100 yards on the backside of the rljnner in front of him, provided he could run that fasL On the way down the father got in lick after lick, but coming back James was never abk to get close enough to his pa to t.'Vt."n make a mark . James never mc:ntioned racing to his f.1rha again. The elder Gil ruth was a stubborn man. One time he tried · to cross a swo1len stream by walking on a log. He gut about half way across and fell into about three feet of water. Instead of walking across the stream, Gilruth back tracked and tried the log again . Finally on his fourth try some 30 minlltes later he made it across the stream. County~ Jighting preacher' In the 1820's and 1830's several camp meetings were held a day's ride from Centerville and Gilruth was a frequent participant. In fact organizers insisted that Gil ruth show up not so much for his preaching but because of his great size. Rowdies also liked to break up camp meetings by riding into the meeting with guns ablazing. At one camp meeting some 'toughs' had decided not to ride into the camp but to sneak in. Gilruth happened to be walking through the woods about that time and he heard these fellows plotting their strategy. Gilruth came out of the bushes, walked up to the ringleader, put his arm around his neck, and took off with him. Rev.). H . Creighton remembered what happened next: "As Gilruth and the rowdy passed into the camp, the place was somewhat obstructed by 'a large decayed stump'; but Gilruth pressed on, tearing away part of the siump. When he reached the stand, the rowdy was nearly o ttt of breath: but as soon as he could speak he said: 'I suppose you are Gilruth. · I have heard of you. I did not know you ,v~re on the gr~mnd!'" One time Gilruth showed up at a mill on foot to buy a barrel of flour. The miller asked Gilruth how he intended to get the barrel hpme and Gilruth said he intended to carry it over his head the two miles to his home. The miller said;"lf you can carry that home, I'll give you the flour." Answered Gilruth, "At that rate, I'll take two." The ••• .' . l ::.

In the Late 1820's and 1830's, Emory was one of the several preaching spots on the Centerville Circuit. An early pastor on this circuit was referred to as "the fighting preacher." Pictured is the second church building at Emory, dat· ing to the 1880's-1890's. astonished miller responded: "I would rather offer you ' two than orie." So Gilruth put his arms around each barrel and walked home. Sometime in the late 1830's Gilruth moved into Iowa and became one of Iowa's first Methodist circuit riders.

Miller also gives these helpful pointers : • Less is best. Foods with the least amount of processing are the best. If you can pluck it, pick it or grow it, it's usually a bargain both nutritionally and economically. Families who usc Food Stamps can benefit greatly from the "less is best" theory. "Use more grain-based dishes instead of meat. A stir-fry with just a little meat or a casserole with just a small amount·of meat is good for dinner. Simple homeprepared ·meals cost less." • Make a list before you go to the store· and stick to it. Consumers , who shop without a list are more likely to buy things they do not need. • Neecl a snack? Hot-air popcorn is inexpensive, high in fiber and low in .calories. "Yes, the microwave popcorn is . tasiier but you can buy a hot-air popping, machine for under SIS and get 15 years of use out of it and still be eating healthy."

"It can be raisins, peanuts, dried cereal,and pretzels." • Remember the calculator and don't be ashamed ' to use it. lf you're on a tight budget , you'll want to know what the total is before you get to the checkout line.

They are required : to complete their high school ~(!iS) requirements for gradua; don as set by the State Depart; ment of Education, but they can ::do them in any combination of ~RGCC/HS classes that they ~.~boose.

Sunday, January 21, 2001 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point PIMunt, WV Peg• C4 • iounup G:imes·ioenrind for many yean the Centerville Circuit of Methodist churche~ conuined a number of preaching assignments in both Gallia and Jackson counties. Included on the Centerville Circuit in time were stOps at New Zion, Madison Furnace, Jlmes, Emory. Rehobeth and many other place~. Some of the~e stops grew into churches, othen did not. It was a tough circuit in the early frontier days with numerous preaching assignments in remote areas. One of the fint pastors on this circuit, which was formed in the 1820's and 1830's, was none other than 11the fighting preacher." During this era these preachers on horseback, calle.d circuit riders, had some rough places to pass through. In such places it was not unusual for "ruffiam" to nop the preacher and make him late for hjs appointments. One day some :'sinners" tried this on Gilruth. But he soon let them know that he could fight as well as preach. After whipping a few of these II!Jllics they were thereafter only too happy to let Gilruth pass on by. Gilruth acquired the reputation of b~ing the "fighting preacher" which was Jf that time the highest praise that could 'be leveled on a frontier minister. James Wiis raised in a pretty tough school. He was not polished in manners. • Growing up in Scioto County, Gilruth }vas always the most athletic young man iD his community. He was about the best r,¥nner, jumper, hopper, wrestler, and 4f'ter. One day he was bragging to his James Sands GUEST COLUMNIST father about ,his skills in running when his pa challenged him to· a race. They would strip off everything but their shirts and run 100 yards down and 100 yards back. James would start ahead of his father going down and the father would start ahead coming back. The one behind would carry a switch which he was free to use for the entire 100 yards on the backside of the rljnner in front of him, provided he could run that fasL On the way down the father got in lick after lick, but coming back James was never abk to get close enough to his pa to t.'Vt."n make a mark . James never mc:ntioned racing to his f.1rha again. The elder Gil ruth was a stubborn man. One time he tried · to cross a swo1len stream by walking on a log. He gut about half way across and fell into about three feet of water. Instead of walking across the stream, Gilruth back tracked and tried the log again . Finally on his fourth try some 30 minlltes later he made it across the stream. County~ Jighting preacher' In the 1820's and 1830's several camp meetings were held a day's ride from Centerville and Gilruth was a frequent participant. In fact organizers insisted that Gil ruth show up not so much for his preaching but because of his great size. Rowdies also liked to break up camp meetings by riding into the meeting with guns ablazing. At one camp meeting some 'toughs' had decided not to ride into the camp but to sneak in. Gilruth happened to be walking through the woods about that time and he heard these fellows plotting their strategy. Gilruth came out of the bushes, walked up to the ringleader, put his arm around his neck, and took off with him. Rev.). H . Creighton remembered what happened next: "As Gilruth and the rowdy passed into the camp, the place was somewhat obstructed by 'a large decayed stump'; but Gilruth pressed on, tearing away part of the siump. When he reached the stand, the rowdy was nearly o ttt of breath: but as soon as he could speak he said: 'I suppose you are Gilruth. · I have heard of you. I did not know you ,v~re on the gr~mnd!'" One time Gilruth showed up at a mill on foot to buy a barrel of flour. The miller asked Gilruth how he intended to get the barrel hpme and Gilruth said he intended to carry it over his head the two miles to his home. The miller said;"lf you can carry that home, I'll give you the flour." Answered Gilruth, "At that rate, I'll take two." The ••• .' . l ::.

In the Late 1820's and 1830's, Emory was one of the several preaching spots on the Centerville Circuit. An early pastor on this circuit was referred to as "the fighting preacher." Pictured is the second church building at Emory, dat· ing to the 1880's-1890's. astonished miller responded: "I would rather offer you ' two than orie." So Gilruth put his arms around each barrel and walked home. Sometime in the late 1830's Gilruth moved into Iowa and became one of Iowa's first Methodist circuit riders.

Miller also gives these helpful pointers : • Less is best. Foods with the least amount of processing are the best. If you can pluck it, pick it or grow it, it's usually a bargain both nutritionally and economically. Families who usc Food Stamps can benefit greatly from the "less is best" theory. "Use more grain-based dishes instead of meat. A stir-fry with just a little meat or a casserole with just a small amount·of meat is good for dinner. Simple homeprepared ·meals cost less." • Make a list before you go to the store· and stick to it. Consumers , who shop without a list are more likely to buy things they do not need. • Neecl a snack? Hot-air popcorn is inexpensive, high in fiber and low in .calories. "Yes, the microwave popcorn is . tasiier but you can buy a hot-air popping, machine for under SIS and get 15 years of use out of it and still be eating healthy." Miller also re commends trail tnix as a· snack. "It can be raisins, peanuts, dried cereal,and pretzels." • Remember the calculator and don't be ashamed ' to use it. lf you're on a tight budget , you'll want to know what the total is before you get to the checkout line.

It allows stu~4ents from area high schools to ·· ~ttend Rio Grande Community ;!College (RGCC) instead of, or ~ ill conjunction with, their own ;'high school. They are required : to complete their high school ~(!iS) requirements for gradua; don as set by the State Depart; ment of Education, but they can ::do them in any combination of ~RGCC/HS classes that they ~.~boose. They qualifY for the · program by having a cumulative ~grade point average (GPA) of ~3.0 and by passing an entrance :;e:Qm in the spring before they · : enter the program. ~· Although originally intended Jor juniors .a nd seniors, begin. ning in the fall of 1998, ninth · and tenth grade students were ~allowed to enter the program. : They were required to meet all : 1he standards previously set by Srne state and were also expected ~to make the necessary adjust;.ments in their class curriculum Jto meet graduation standards. ~ These students in this pro-:gram have some obstacles to . overcome including transporta~<tion between RGCC and their ;.' high school (when they have ·,chosen to 'split' their day :,bet\veen both InStitutions), and ~cheduling activities at high Jchool around their RGCC schedule. They must meet class requirements at the high school 'and the college, and !~ani new organizational and social skills rela~ to ltoth age groups. Although originally intended for ju11iors at1d se11iors, / be~inning· in the fall , oj 1998, ninth and tenth grade stndents were alloJVed to enter the program. ln. the pasi, many instructors and college students have been surprised to find out that these students are not "regular" col.Ie~ students. They are not supposed to be easily recognized and the instructors have,. no · indications that they are PSO students. In this way, no special attention or exceptions are given to them, all.owing them to enrich their education above that of the high school and to meet the challenges afforded them by the college/university setting. The PSO program at RGCC/URG is a vrry positive and progressive srep taken in the name of education· in this area of our state. The University shows foresight and courage in offering a program that wiD enrich many students education and prepare them f<;>r further advancements in the future. The parents and students participating in the program would like to invite any interested parents and students (g'rades 1:1-11) to attend an information session at the Bossard Library on Thes• day, January 30 at 7 p.m. This is an informal introduction to the program and much of the ti~1e \Viii be open for qu~stions. · · Chinese exhibit planned at URG FROM STAFF REPORTS RIO GRANDE -The University of Rio Grande will host a Chiqese Exhibit in the Greer Museum next week.

Larer Christians misapplied these Scriptures. CarroU basicaUy summarizes past thinking on the Christian left, but he attacks highly influential German Protestant liberals of the past century. He says they defined 'Jesus over against Jewisbness" and thus laid groundwork for the Nazis. Such theology, which has made inroads in Catholicism, "is still largely uncriticized for its implicit anti-Judaism;· he says. A third approach was taken by Raymond E.

Positive aspeca, including the churches' nol'!lble gain in sensitivity since the Nazi Holocaust,- get minimal attention. The author of "Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jewt" is James C'lfroU, a novelin and former Roman Catholic priest. As the tide indicates, Carroll thinks things really turned sinister after Roman Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion. But the New Testament existed long before Constantine, and CarroD laments the way the four Gospels portray Jews. Is the New Testament anti-Semitic? There could hardly· be a more important - or more complex - issue in New Testament studies. Conservatives go with the Gospels as reliable accounts of what happened, which means: • Jesus had both allies and foes among his fellow Jews.He engaged in heated disputes with some. In one severe incident, he told a group of Jewish opponents that "you are of your father the devil," while they said he was demonpossessed and tried to kill him Qohn 8:44-59). • Eventually, Jewish leaders in Jerusalem initiated jesus' crucifixion for religiow reasons, though the occupying Romans approved the verdict and carried out the execution. The conservatives further say it's absutd to call the Gospels antisemitic, since most of the writen and aU the materials were Jewish. Admittedly, some passages are antiJewish, but only in the sense of expressing principled religious disagreement, in the same way that portions of Judaism's Talmud are anti-Christian. Carroll spurns much of that tradition. To him, the Gospels say much about the mindset of the early church and little about the actual life of Christ. The Gospels were "slanted;' not by conscious falsehood but by the situation that existed when the Gospels were written, decades after the depicted events. problems and asthma. It may turn out that folks should,' in fact, encourage family, friends and admiring strangers to touch their kids. - . GUY ANTHONY ROWLI!Y, M.D., M.P.H., CHICAGO DBAll DR. ROWLEY: 'Perhaps.

Positive aspeca, including the churches' nol'!lble gain in sensitivity since the Nazi Holocaust,- get minimal attention. The author of "Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jewt" is James C'lfroU, a novelin and former Roman Catholic priest. As the tide indicates, Carroll thinks things really turned sinister after Roman Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion. But the New Testament existed long before Constantine, and CarroD laments the way the four Gospels portray Jews. Is the New Testament anti-Semitic? There could hardly· be a more important - or more complex - issue in New Testament studies. Conservatives go with the Gospels as reliable accounts of what happened, which means: • Jesus had both allies and foes among his fellow Jews.He engaged in heated disputes with some. In one severe incident, he told a group of Jewish opponents that "you are of your father the devil," while they said he was demonpossessed and tried to kill him Qohn 8:44-59). • Eventually, Jewish leaders in Jerusalem initiated jesus' crucifixion for religiow reasons, though the occupying Romans approved the verdict and carried out the execution. The conservatives further say it's absutd to call the Gospels antisemitic, since most of the writen and aU the materials were Jewish. Admittedly, some passages are antiJewish, but only in the sense of expressing principled religious disagreement, in the same way that portions of Judaism's Talmud are anti-Christian. Carroll spurns much of that tradition. To him, the Gospels say much about the mindset of the early church and little about the actual life of Christ. The Gospels were "slanted;' not by conscious falsehood but by the situation that existed when the Gospels were written, decades after the depicted events. problems and asthma. It may turn out that folks should,' in fact, encourage family, friends and admiring strangers to touch their kids. - . GUY ANTHONY ROWLI!Y, M.D., M.P.H., CHICAGO DBAll DR. ROWLEY: 'Perhaps.

(AP) - In the misty darkness, Alan Glennon holds tightly to a rope as he carefully makes his way down about 20 feet ofjagged, loose rocks. His only light is the smaU lamp on his hard hat as he takes slow, careful steps down the rugged outcro!'ping to the next lc:Vel in the underground obstacle course of clif!S and mud and water. "Rock," he shouts to his climbing partner, . as one of the stones clinks under his foot into the empty blackness. They are among the first explorers experienced enough and smaU enough to squeeze through and see the prize that lies ahead.perhaps the biggest cave passageway in Kentucky. The newly discovered cave room is estimated to have a 90-foot ceiling and a floor space of 2.5 acres. By comparison, the largest roon\ in Mammoth Cave is about 2 acres. The entrance to the cave was discovered in 1996 by former Western Kentucky University student Art Pettit. Although he surwyed a portion of it, Pettit didn't go wry far ·in. But he told Glennon and feU ow cavers Joel Despain and Shane Fryer about the discovery. The trio decided a few ~onths ago to .go in and create a detailed map of the cave. After three months of work, Despain and Fryer found a jagged and narrow crawl space leading to something beyond their imaginations. "We were hoping to find a big cave," Fryer said. "We didn't expect anything as big as we found." Although it's a fascinating discovery, catching a glimpse of the big room isn't the only reason the students have made the trek to Wayne County' ih southern Kentucky. They have come also to learn. Geology and geography students from the university try to visit the area every couple of weeks to map and measure this cave and look for others. The students want to keep the exact location of the . cavern private, to 'pn:serve its natural aspects. It a reponer as they continued mapping some of the untouched pans of the cave_ They also wanted to take some photos of it and see the big room for themselves. " You want to meet the cave on its own terms," Glennon said as he made sure there were three light sources per person, extra batteries, water, food, gloves and knee and elbow pads. His equipment included a measuring tape, a compass apd a notebook so he .could measure and sketch areas that haven't yet been documented.

The lot, which has been the site of numerous car dealerships for more than 40 years, has undergone a tremendous transformation since being·.taken over three years ago by Ted and Crystal Dexter of Pomeroy. In place of an old, smaUer structure that had once served as a office, new, larger building was built, complete with waiting area and fuU-service garage_ "A number of improvements have taken place over the last ~ev­ eral months to make the dealership a much nicer place for our customers to shop;' Dexter said.

(AP) - In the misty darkness, Alan Glennon holds tightly to a rope as he carefully makes his way down about 20 feet ofjagged, loose rocks. His only light is the smaU lamp on his hard hat as he takes slow, careful steps down the rugged outcro!'ping to the next lc:Vel in the underground obstacle course of clif!S and mud and water. "Rock," he shouts to his climbing partner, . as one of the stones clinks under his foot into the empty blackness.

The newly discovered cave room is estimated to have a 90-foot ceiling and a floor space of 2.5 acres. By comparison, the largest roon\ in Mammoth Cave is about 2 acres. The entrance to the cave was discovered in 1996 by former Western Kentucky University student Art Pettit. Although he surwyed a portion of it, Pettit didn't go wry far ·in. But he told Glennon and feU ow cavers Joel Despain and Shane Fryer about the discovery. The trio decided a few ~onths ago to .go in and create a detailed map of the cave. After three months of work, Despain and Fryer found a jagged and narrow crawl space leading to something beyond their imaginations. "We were hoping to find a big cave," Fryer said. "We didn't expect anything as big as we found." Although it's a fascinating discovery, catching a glimpse of the big room isn't the only reason the students have made the trek to Wayne County' ih southern Kentucky. They have come also to learn. Geology and geography students from the university try to visit the area every couple of weeks to map and measure this cave and look for others. The students want to keep the exact location of the . cavern private, to 'pn:serve its natural aspects. It a reponer as they continued mapping some of the untouched pans of the cave_ They also wanted to take some photos of it and see the big room for themselves. " You want to meet the cave on its own terms," Glennon said as he made sure there were three light sources per person, extra batteries, water, food, gloves and knee and elbow pads. His equipment included a measuring tape, a compass apd a notebook so he .could measure and sketch areas that haven't yet been documented.

Wheels and De:ils car lot, on Hartinger Pky. in Middleport, has been serving the public's need for quality used cars since opening its doors in June 1998. The business has consistently increased sales each year by employing honesty and a good sense of knowing what the public wants in a used vehicle. The lot, which has been the site of numerous car dealerships for more than 40 years, has undergone a tremendous transformation since being·.taken over three years ago by Ted and Crystal Dexter of Pomeroy. In place of an old, smaUer structure that had once served as a office, new, larger building was built, complete with waiting area and fuU-service garage_ "A number of improvements have taken place over the last ~ev­ eral months to make the dealership a much nicer place for our customers to shop;' Dexter said. "We've recendy added ,. detail ttiljm1 to ensure that each car is extra clean before leaving the lot. "We make sure that each vehide is professionally detailed so that our customers don't have to spend hours doing it themselves.'' .

Carruth, 26, was spared the possibility of the death penalty but could get as much as 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder. Cherica Adams, 24, was shot four times on a Charlotte street in November 1999 in an attack that prosecutors said Carruth masterminded to avoid paying child support. Prosecutors said he used his car to box in Adams and set her up for the kill by a hired gunman. · Adams died a month later. Her son, fathered by Carruth, was delivered by emergency Caesarean section and is being raised by Adams' mother. The jury took about 20 hours to reach the verdict and a day earlier had reported it was deadlocked. In addition to conspiracy, ·the former Carolina Panthers receiver was found guilty of shooting into a~ occu- pied vehicle and using an instrument - a gun - to try to destroy an unborn child. Sentencing was set for Monday. Defense attorney David Rudolf said he will ask the judge to throw out the conspiracy conviction because it is inconsistent with acquittal on the murder charge.
