A lXIII, AI D1 Bush: Projected surplus can accommodate big tax cut . WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush said Saturday that the fliOSt important number in the budget he sends to Congress next week is the $5.6 trillion surplus it projects over the next 10 years. That huge projected surplus provides the underpinning of all the admin~ istration's tax-cut and spending plans, Bush said in his recorded weddy radio address. "A surplus in tax revenue, after all, means that taxpayers have been overcharged," the president ·said. "And usually · when you've been over- • ·-·----- ... -·-........ ·- charged, you expect to get something back." The surplus figure "counts more than any other" in the budget, he said. Democrats cautioned that surpluses projected over so long a periOd cao turn into elusive fool's gold. And they continued to insist that as it stands the Bush tax-<ut plan unf~irly favors the wealthy over those of more modest meam . Bush said his budget plan proposes a "reasonable" 4 percent growth rate, which he said is "little more than inflation." He asserted that given the size of the expected surplus, his proposal leaves plenty of room for a large tax CU\, while paying for increases in spending on education and for dealing "'ith Social Security and Medicare. . -- 1· �• • PageA2 R :~~~~q~~~hn~a-~_J~ea_m_•~-~--------------~=·~D~~~!·~~~~!---------------~s=u=n~~·~hb=N~·~~~l~s,~l~"~' Cited by pollee GALLIPOLIS - Gillipolis City Police cited David Roush , 57, 12713 Ohio 554, Bidwell, for disorderly by intoxication.

The subject is home heating products :ind utilities. In writing about this subject, there seem to be some companies, or one company anyway, that have no compassion for our children, our disabled, our senior citizens or those on low or fixed incomes. 'They demand payment in full in 30 days. Well, this is all good and well for those who can afford it. For th9se mencloned above, it is not that easy. Children have to eat, need clothes for school and when they are sick, need doctors and medicines. The disabled and seniors need die same things, some a little more extensively. These people cannot always get the help they need, and providing the basics can consume their incomes leaving litde for utilities, fuel, oil, propane or natural gas. I will always agree that people should be responsible for their own finances. However, it can be very hard during_the winter months.

Kenneth G. Bennett Crown City I. . WASHINGTON M·E RRY-GO-ROUND Tax cut plan won't stern the coming recession WASHINGTON- We are contrarians. Why? You've heard our mantra before: "Most people are wrong most of the time. Otherwise most people would be millionaires." That is the psychology of the stock market in a phwe. It is also the . psychology of the economy. Here is the way it way it works for the stock market: If there are 10 million investors and 6 million of them say the market is going down, in all likelihood ' they have already sold. This makes them potential bllyers, and that potential is what makes the market go up, not down:. Th a similar degree, the same holds true for the business cycle - that cycle that an entire generation of young adults haS never witnessed because the country's economy has been booming for so long. Now all the tallt is about a recession, and we hear discussions about soft landings versus hard landings - meaning how hard the economy will fall. "Landing" haS become a euphenustic word for recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the total value of goods and services in the U.S. economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the economY is currendy Jack · ·Anderson & Douglas Cohil COLUMNIST budget. But busting the budget is precisely the medicine that is needed in a recession. It's called deficit spending, and it was what finally pulled America our of the mother of all recessions, the · Great . Depression. But the Bush administration, after calling Democrats "tax-andspenders;' is firmly opposed to deficit spending. Herein lies the real problem. If Pres. Bush follows the Herbert Hoover exam- · pie instead of the ,Franklin Roos.Velt example, America could be . in trouble. When the economy turned down after the stock market crash of \929, Presiden~ Hoover lowered federal spending to ·match the lower tax revenues and turned a market crash into a depression. Roosevelt took office in 1933 and began a series offederal programs that were funded by deficit spending, but even those were. not e~ough. It took the megadefictt spending that funded World War II · to finally pull us out of the most senous economic downturn ~ U.S: .history. Indeed, a recesston ts conun~, but a tax ~ut followed by budget cuts will not stop tt. Only a tax cut, followed by budget mcreases can do that. ..

If you ask the folks behind Ohio Success Express, pursuing a college career toward a degree means students will be better trained, better prepared and better paid for what they know. That was the message the state-sponsored caravan brought to Gallia County on Friday. The hope is that students at Gallia Academy and River Valley high schools who participated in the visit will take the message to heart. Ohio Success Express is a traveling promotional campaign to increase the college-going rate. It's not a PR tool launched by the numerous colleges and universities Ohio possesses to boost enrollment, but a means of informing secondary students that going on to school after graduation isn't an impossible task. ·Galli'a students were exposed to the benefits of college and had the ability to interact with fellow students looking at a post"high school career in the classroom. Ohio Success Express' visit was sponsored by the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, which has been at the forefront of promoting higher education in southern Ohio for several years through Project CHAMP and other initiatives. The movement started when the state and educational leaders recognized that if this region is pull itself up by its bootstraps, something has to be done to stop the brain drain to urban centers and other states. A common complaint heard is that our young people leave the area because opportunities aren't here for them. The future lies in the hands of these talented youth and if they can be con-1 vinced to stay, they become part of the solution, not the problem. . To date, the Ohio Appalachian Center for Higher Education, a consortium of regional colleges and universities, has reported success in .the last eight years in improving the cqllege-going rate. One of the more dramatic examples was· seen in M~igs County's Southern Local High School, where the rate jumped from around 59 percent of the graduating class in 1994 to 89 percent five years later. A changing economy and job market demands that applicants expand on what they learned in high school. College offers opportunities for horizons to be widened when it comes to skills needed to make it in today's marketplace. Ohio Success Express has come and gone. Let's not forget its message, and build on the momentum it and similar programs have created.

County LEPC; and Gallia County LEPC, I wish to express our appreciation to the public, the 'mayor and the citizens of the village of Qleshire and Cheshire Township, Steve Wilson and Gallia County c_ornmissioners and to Duane Phlegar, manager at Gavin Plant, as well as his staff for the time, effort, patience and generosity in assisting us during our fact-finding and emergency planning activities which were centered around the · Gavin Power Plant Anhydrous Take a Stand Dear Editor:' . The subject is home heating products :ind utilities. In writing about this subject, there seem to be some companies, or one company anyway, that have no compassion for our children, our disabled, our senior citizens or those on low or fixed incomes. 'They demand payment in full in 30 days. Well, this is all good and well for those who can afford it. For th9se mencloned above, it is not that easy. Children have to eat, need clothes for school and when they are sick, need doctors and medicines. The disabled and seniors need die same things, some a little more extensively. These people cannot always get the help they need, and providing the basics can consume their incomes leaving litde for utilities, fuel, oil, propane or natural gas. I will always agree that people should be responsible for their own finances. However, it can be very hard during_the winter months. Elected officials, I hope you read 'this letter, for it is my intention to propose a bill to our state legislature that would prevent any utility shutting off supply of these necessities between Oct. 1 and April 1. · ·I dQ understand that the suppliers need to be paid and must have some control; the people must realize that they must have their bill paid by March 31 or they will' rtot be afforde.<f the same rights the following heating season. There should be give and take on: ·both sides of the issue. I would · also propose that a fair and reasonable price be placed on these products and. frozen at five years. At the end of this nme, market pr1ces should resume. We, the people of Gallipolis, Gallia County, the state of Ohio, and this our most wonderful country under the grace of God need to stand against these types of companies. . We, the customer, made with our hard earned money these companies what they are. It seems they tend to forget that. So, I ask if there are others out there who feel as I do and would like .to contact me to feel free at 740-:256-9138. I am not ashamed of my Father in Heaven who guides me in this and nei• ther am I ashamed to place my name upon this letter. I personally have not in . years heard of anyone freezing, but there · is always that possibility of losing one life, and to me, that one life is precious. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Kenneth G. Bennett Crown City I. . WASHINGTON M·E RRY-GO-ROUND Tax cut plan won't stern the coming recession WASHINGTON- We are contrarians. Why? You've heard our mantra before: "Most people are wrong most of the time. Otherwise most people would be millionaires." That is the psychology of the stock market in a phwe. It is also the . psychology of the economy. Here is the way it way it works for the stock market: If there are 10 million investors and 6 million of them say the market is going down, in all likelihood ' they have already sold. This makes them potential bllyers, and that potential is what makes the market go up, not down:. Th a similar degree, the same holds true for the business cycle - that cycle that an entire generation of young adults haS never witnessed because the country's economy has been booming for so long. Now all the tallt is about a recession, and we hear discussions about soft landings versus hard landings - meaning how hard the economy will fall. "Landing" haS become a euphenustic word for recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the total value of goods and services in the U.S. economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the economY is currendy Jack · ·Anderson & Douglas Cohil COLUMNIST budget. But busting the budget is precisely the medicine that is needed in a recession. It's called deficit spending, and it was what finally pulled America our of the mother of all recessions, the · Great . Depression. But the Bush administration, after calling Democrats "tax-andspenders;' is firmly opposed to deficit spending. Herein lies the real problem. If Pres. Bush follows the Herbert Hoover exam- · pie instead of the ,Franklin Roos.Velt example, America could be . in trouble. When the economy turned down after the stock market crash of \929, Presiden~ Hoover lowered federal spending to ·match the lower tax revenues and turned a market crash into a depression. Roosevelt took office in 1933 and began a series offederal programs that were funded by deficit spending, but even those were. not e~ough. It took the megadefictt spending that funded World War II · to finally pull us out of the most senous economic downturn ~ U.S: .history. Indeed, a recesston ts conun~, but a tax ~ut followed by budget cuts will not stop tt. Only a tax cut, followed by budget mcreases can do that. ..

Psychiatric review sought Seeking artifacts What is the value of higher education? If you ask the folks behind Ohio Success Express, pursuing a college career toward a degree means students will be better trained, better prepared and better paid for what they know. That was the message the state-sponsored caravan brought to Gallia County on Friday. The hope is that students at Gallia Academy and River Valley high schools who participated in the visit will take the message to heart. Ohio Success Express is a traveling promotional campaign to increase the college-going rate. It's not a PR tool launched by the numerous colleges and universities Ohio possesses to boost enrollment, but a means of informing secondary students that going on to school after graduation isn't an impossible task. ·Galli'a students were exposed to the benefits of college and had the ability to interact with fellow students looking at a post"high school career in the classroom. Ohio Success Express' visit was sponsored by the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, which has been at the forefront of promoting higher education in southern Ohio for several years through Project CHAMP and other initiatives. The movement started when the state and educational leaders recognized that if this region is pull itself up by its bootstraps, something has to be done to stop the brain drain to urban centers and other states. A common complaint heard is that our young people leave the area because opportunities aren't here for them. The future lies in the hands of these talented youth and if they can be con-1 vinced to stay, they become part of the solution, not the problem. . To date, the Ohio Appalachian Center for Higher Education, a consortium of regional colleges and universities, has reported success in .the last eight years in improving the cqllege-going rate. One of the more dramatic examples was· seen in M~igs County's Southern Local High School, where the rate jumped from around 59 percent of the graduating class in 1994 to 89 percent five years later. A changing economy and job market demands that applicants expand on what they learned in high school. College offers opportunities for horizons to be widened when it comes to skills needed to make it in today's marketplace. Ohio Success Express has come and gone. Let's not forget its message, and build on the momentum it and similar programs have created.

Adm: William ): Fallon, the vice chief of naval operations, was named "special envoy to Japan" and will arrive in Tokyo with a letter from President Bush to Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori.

U.S. officials say reports of serious crew errors aboard the Greeneville right before the collision raised the possibility that the Navy's formal investigation could spread beyond three officers already named :IS subjects of the probe to include a sailor whose job was to plot positions of nearby vessels and possibly other people. The Washington Times and The Washington Post reported Friday that BIG BEND the enlisted man, known as the sub's "fire comrof tech nician," did not inform the skipper that sonar readi ngs indicated a surface vessel was closing to within 2,000 yards. The Times, quoting an unidentified Navy source, said if the ship's estimated range had been conveyed to the sub's captain, Cmdr. Scott Waddle, he would have conducted his periscope search of the, surface differently.

Former President George Bush, marking the lOth anniversary of the ground offensive . in the Gulf War, said Friday that he regrets underestimating the resiliency of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. He refused to second-guess his decision to halt the war once the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait, saying he and most Arab leaders wrongly believed that Hussein couldn't survive "the vicious pound. mg. . "But he did," Bush said at a conference. "He did it through total brutality of his own people... We underestimated the tyranny." Bush, in a nearly two-ho.u r appearance at Texas A&M University, where his presidential library is housed, shared a stage with retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, former British Prime Minister John Major, former Deputy National Security Adviser Rob<rt Gates and former,press secretary Marlin Fitzwater. After initial air strikes early in 1991 , Bush approved a plan that would start the ground assault by forces of a fragile 28member coalition he . put together to eject Iraqi troops who had invaded Kuwait. One- hundred hours after Schwarzkopf launched the attack, the fighting was over and Hussein's forces had been routed. Schwarzkopf, commander of the coalition army that peaked at 540,000 person nel, became a nati onal hero. Dlvlalon Ill At Wavllrly H.S.

Former President George Bush, marking the lOth anniversary of the ground offensive . in the Gulf War, said Friday that he regrets underestimating the resiliency of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. He refused to second-guess his decision to halt the war once the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait, saying he and most Arab leaders wrongly believed that Hussein couldn't survive "the vicious pound. mg. . "But he did," Bush said at a conference. "He did it through total brutality of his own people... We underestimated the tyranny." Bush, in a nearly two-ho.u r appearance at Texas A&M University, where his presidential library is housed, shared a stage with retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, former British Prime Minister John Major, former Deputy National Security Adviser Rob<rt Gates and former,press secretary Marlin Fitzwater. After initial air strikes early in 1991 , Bush approved a plan that would start the ground assault by forces of a fragile 28member coalition he . put together to eject Iraqi troops who had invaded Kuwait. One- hundred hours after Schwarzkopf launched the attack, the fighting was over and Hussein's forces had been routed. Schwarzkopf, commander of the coalition army that peaked at 540,000 person nel, became a nati onal hero. Dlvlalon Ill At Wavllrly H.S.

Boone admitted that he has considered Griffey, who has hit 40 homers or more for five years in a row, for the cleanup spot, but decided to leave him at No. 3 for obvious reasons. The club's best all-around hitter occupies the third slot, and the third hitter tends to receive more protection from the cleanup batter than a cleanup batter would get from the No. 5 man.

Manager Bob Boone used 1521ineups in 161 games with the Kansas City Royals in 1996. He said Friday that he wants to leave spring training with two or three lineups he. can use ' to counter v.arious types of opposing pitchers. Boone said Barry Larkin and Alex Ochoa are candidates for the leadoff spot, while Larkin, Dmitri Young and Tucker are up for the second position. Sean Casey, Ochoa and Young are possible candidates for the No. 4 position , and Casey could fill the fifth spot. A combination of Aaron Boone, Pokey Reese and Jason LaRue is possible for the last three positions . Boone couldn't guarantee that the order will come together in the preseason. "Not everybody's going to play every day," he said. "You're not going to put the starting eight out there together a lot until we get down to that last eight or nine days."

The Trojans forced eight turnovers in the opening period and recorded six steals. Portsmouth also ' owned the offensive boards, grabbing five rebounds on the offensive glass.

"Portsmouth's ·always good at sensing when you're not very confident and taking advantage of that. We didn't execute very well. "Turnovers made the difference,'' Osbo~ne said. uwe had six turnovers in four minutes in the first quarter. We played so tentative and sort of conservative, that it created some problems for us." Fleming led all scorers with 16 points on 5-of-15 shootmg from the field for Portsmouth. He hit 3-of-10 3-pointers. Larry Berry had nine points for the Trojans on 4-of-13 shooting. R.K.

We're going to have pretty much a set lineup anyway, because they're going to come in (at the start of the season) knowing who's going to play every day," he said. Griffey has known throughout his career that he'll hit third. In 1,680 games he has batted fourth only 16 times, including once last year. Boone admitted that he has considered Griffey, who has hit 40 homers or more for five years in a row, for the cleanup spot, but decided to leave him at No. 3 for obvious reasons. The club's best all-around hitter occupies the third slot, and the third hitter tends to receive more protection from the cleanup batter than a cleanup batter would get from the No. 5 man. At No. 3, Griffey is guaranteed to bat in the first inning, giving the Reds a chance for an immediate edge. Griffey also. will get more at-bats hitting third than fourth.

I was the new motorsports writer· for The Associated Press, making my first visit to the Winston Cup garage area - a daunting task. . I Earnhardt was leaning against the door of his garage with his arms crossed and a distant expression on his young, mustachioed face. "Hey, Dale," I said eagerly. "Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" He turned slowly, as if he only half heard what I'd said, glared at me with those hawklike eyes and blurted: "No. Git out of here." Chastened and angry, I spun on my heels and began to stride away. Then I heard the deep-throated chuckle that I came to know so well over the next 21 ydrs. "Hey, man, Don't take it personal. Git back over here:' he called. • The answers to my questions that day started a dialogue that turned into, if not a close friendship, a fine acquaintanceship. Over the years, I saw j ust about every side of a complicated, often-enign1atic man. , . Some days he was The Intimidator, Old lronhead, baiting me and glaring as if he was about to strike. Yet, I never felt truly .threatened because he always kept his anger or frustration in check, even when as ked the most personal or idiotic qu.esrion. Other times, he was all wolfish grin and boyish charm. In Florence, S.C., the weekend of a Southern 500 in the mid80s, I ran into Earnhardt in the lobby of our h6tel and he invited me to join him and a group of people for dinner. I offered to drive. A big mistake. · As I drove sedately along a Florence boulevard at 45 mph, Earnhardt griped about the latest NASCAR rule change. Suddenly, he shouted, "Think fast," leaned across the front seat and rammed the gearshift lever on the automatic transmission into park. The car skidded and swerved to a halt with me and the passengers in the backseat hyperventilating and Earnhardt roaring with laughter. I let him drive back to the hotel and never told the car rental company. Earnhardt was somewhat ashamed of having only a ninthgrade education and often calked about how much he wished he had more "book learnin' ." But he had common sense and the business acumen of an MBA candidate. Sitting.at lunch one day at yet another racing function, I was · talking to Don Hawk, then Earnhardt's business manager. I asked him to explain the mar.keting strategy that had helped his driver gain 40 percent of all souvenir and memorabilia sales in NASCAR. . Before Hawk could open his mouth, Earnhardt leaned across the table, his eyes sparkling, and gave me a cogent and informative IS-minute lecture on the art of marketing a race driver. "See what I 'have to Contend with," Hawk said, obviously proud of his student. Although he was often an absentee dad, particularly in the early years of his racing career, Earnhardt's four kids meant the world to him. · When he talked about daughter Kelley graduating from college, his eyes glistened and his chest puffed out. "She's the first one in our family and she worked hard and earned it," he said. Youngest daughter Taylor, the only child of Earnhardt's 18year marriage to third wife Teresa, was able to turn the harddriven racer into Jello with just a look. As for the boys, Kerry and Dale Jr., Earnhardt didn't push them into racing, or discourage them. Both had to show how much they wanted to be drivers before he gave them any kind of helping hand. One~ they showed they were serious about the sport, though, it was obvious the father was go.ing to take a role. It was the deciding factor for him in starting Dale Earnhardt Inc. "I've got to have something to do after my driving days ·are done, and something for those boys to go on;' he said. . Two years ago,' when Dale Jr. was racing in the Busch Series; the senio~ Earnhardt won one of the.twin 125-mile_qualifying races for the Daytona 500. He was brought to the pressbox, high above the track, for a postrace interview. · In the midst of the questioning, Earnhardt cut short an answer in mid-sentence as he swiveled around in his chair and watched imendy as Busch practice began. "I've got to keep an eye on the boy," Earnhardt said. "Make sure he takes care of that expensive equipment." The interview was over. As tough as !Oarnhardt appeared, he wasn't bulletproof. He fainted in the race car on a warmup lap before the !997 Southern 500. Hospital tests were negative and nothing physical ever ·surfaced to explain the collapse. "There ·ain't nothing wrong with .me," he blustered at the time. " It was just something I ate or some flu thing." The 1997 season was the first time in IS years that Earnhardt failed to win a race. Everybody, including me, wondered if it was the beginnin!( of the end of Earnhardt's career. It \Vasn't. He won the Daytona 500 at the start of the 1998 ' season, after 20 years of trying to win NASCAR's big one. It ended a 59-ra~e winless string and sparked the resurgence of his career. The morning after the victory, Earnhardt was still pumped. After talking wtth a few viriters, a broadcaster from a local morning radio show approached and said: "Hey, Dale, is finally winning the Daytona 500 as good ·as the best s~x you l!ver had?" Without missing a beat or batting an eye, Earnhardt replied: Man, you ain't nt!ver met my wife." . The seven-time Winston Cup champion not only continued to find Victory Lane h~t became a contender again in 2000. He raced well just about everywhere, but he was definitely at his best on NASCAR's biggest and fastest racks- D~ytona and Talladega. Last October, he was spectacular. . New aerodyna1i1ic equipment kept nearly the entire field at Talladega bunched together at speeds close to 200 mph for 500 miles . , Earnhardt saved the best for last -somehow picking his way through a wall of speeding cars to shoot from 18th to first in the last five laps, earning the last of his 76 victories. "Man, all I did was aim the car where they wasn't and hope there'd still be a hole when I got there," he said happily. "I couldn't even believe it." I knew he took chances, but, for some reason, I never worried about Dale Earnhardt. For years, I worried about the aging A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Richard Petty - then the three biggest names in U.S: auto racing - as their sk.ills faded and people wondered why they didn't retire. ' . But I never worried about Earnhardt. He was too tough, too. focused, too ... well, Dale. Now, unbelievably, he's gone.

But the 25-year-old Busch Series driver wants it known he could never really replace Earnhardt, the seven-time Winston Cup champion who was killed Sunday in the Daytona 500. "I'd like to say one thing," Harvick said, pointing out into a crowd of reporters. "Dale Earnhardt is probably · the best race car · driver that ever came through NASCAR I hope you guys don't expect me to replace him because no one ever will.'( Harvick, a baby-faced blond from Bakersfield, .Calif., was the Busch Series' Rookie of the Year last season while driving for Richard Childress Racing. . Just last week, Childress said he planned to put Harvick on the fast-track. Praising him for his "cool, aggressive . style" Childress said he would enter Harvick in seven Cup races this year and let him run a full season in 2002 as a teammate to Earnhardt and Mike Skinner. Now, everything has been moved up even further and Harvick has to take over for The Man in Black. "Kevin is a good. race car driver and Dale thought so, too," Childress said. "He was going to get a Winston Cup car, but it happened a lot sooner than any of us expected and it isn't the way Kevin wanted. to get into a car." Although it's Eamhardt's •·ar and Eamhardt's team, Childress has stripped ewryd1ing down to rc:ntovc any reminders ofThe lntimidawr.

I was the new motorsports writer· for The Associated Press, making my first visit to the Winston Cup garage area - a daunting task. . I Earnhardt was leaning against the door of his garage with his arms crossed and a distant expression on his young, mustachioed face. "Hey, Dale," I said eagerly. "Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" He turned slowly, as if he only half heard what I'd said, glared at me with those hawklike eyes and blurted: "No. Git out of here." Chastened and angry, I spun on my heels and began to stride away. Then I heard the deep-throated chuckle that I came to know so well over the next 21 ydrs. "Hey, man, Don't take it personal. Git back over here:' he called. • The answers to my questions that day started a dialogue that turned into, if not a close friendship, a fine acquaintanceship. Over the years, I saw j ust about every side of a complicated, often-enign1atic man. , . Some days he was The Intimidator, Old lronhead, baiting me and glaring as if he was about to strike. Yet, I never felt truly .threatened because he always kept his anger or frustration in check, even when as ked the most personal or idiotic qu.esrion. Other times, he was all wolfish grin and boyish charm. In Florence, S.C., the weekend of a Southern 500 in the mid80s, I ran into Earnhardt in the lobby of our h6tel and he invited me to join him and a group of people for dinner. I offered to drive. A big mistake. · As I drove sedately along a Florence boulevard at 45 mph, Earnhardt griped about the latest NASCAR rule change. Suddenly, he shouted, "Think fast," leaned across the front seat and rammed the gearshift lever on the automatic transmission into park. The car skidded and swerved to a halt with me and the passengers in the backseat hyperventilating and Earnhardt roaring with laughter. I let him drive back to the hotel and never told the car rental company. Earnhardt was somewhat ashamed of having only a ninthgrade education and often calked about how much he wished he had more "book learnin' ." But he had common sense and the business acumen of an MBA candidate. Sitting.at lunch one day at yet another racing function, I was · talking to Don Hawk, then Earnhardt's business manager. I asked him to explain the mar.keting strategy that had helped his driver gain 40 percent of all souvenir and memorabilia sales in NASCAR. . Before Hawk could open his mouth, Earnhardt leaned across the table, his eyes sparkling, and gave me a cogent and informative IS-minute lecture on the art of marketing a race driver. "See what I 'have to Contend with," Hawk said, obviously proud of his student. Although he was often an absentee dad, particularly in the early years of his racing career, Earnhardt's four kids meant the world to him. · When he talked about daughter Kelley graduating from college, his eyes glistened and his chest puffed out. "She's the first one in our family and she worked hard and earned it," he said. Youngest daughter Taylor, the only child of Earnhardt's 18year marriage to third wife Teresa, was able to turn the harddriven racer into Jello with just a look. As for the boys, Kerry and Dale Jr., Earnhardt didn't push them into racing, or discourage them. Both had to show how much they wanted to be drivers before he gave them any kind of helping hand. One~ they showed they were serious about the sport, though, it was obvious the father was go.ing to take a role. It was the deciding factor for him in starting Dale Earnhardt Inc. "I've got to have something to do after my driving days ·are done, and something for those boys to go on;' he said. . Two years ago,' when Dale Jr. was racing in the Busch Series; the senio~ Earnhardt won one of the.twin 125-mile_qualifying races for the Daytona 500. He was brought to the pressbox, high above the track, for a postrace interview. · In the midst of the questioning, Earnhardt cut short an answer in mid-sentence as he swiveled around in his chair and watched imendy as Busch practice began. "I've got to keep an eye on the boy," Earnhardt said. "Make sure he takes care of that expensive equipment." The interview was over. As tough as !Oarnhardt appeared, he wasn't bulletproof. He fainted in the race car on a warmup lap before the !997 Southern 500. Hospital tests were negative and nothing physical ever ·surfaced to explain the collapse. "There ·ain't nothing wrong with .me," he blustered at the time. " It was just something I ate or some flu thing." The 1997 season was the first time in IS years that Earnhardt failed to win a race. Everybody, including me, wondered if it was the beginnin!( of the end of Earnhardt's career. It \Vasn't. He won the Daytona 500 at the start of the 1998 ' season, after 20 years of trying to win NASCAR's big one. It ended a 59-ra~e winless string and sparked the resurgence of his career. The morning after the victory, Earnhardt was still pumped. After talking wtth a few viriters, a broadcaster from a local morning radio show approached and said: "Hey, Dale, is finally winning the Daytona 500 as good ·as the best s~x you l!ver had?" Without missing a beat or batting an eye, Earnhardt replied: Man, you ain't nt!ver met my wife." . The seven-time Winston Cup champion not only continued to find Victory Lane h~t became a contender again in 2000. He raced well just about everywhere, but he was definitely at his best on NASCAR's biggest and fastest racks- D~ytona and Talladega. Last October, he was spectacular. . New aerodyna1i1ic equipment kept nearly the entire field at Talladega bunched together at speeds close to 200 mph for 500 miles . , Earnhardt saved the best for last -somehow picking his way through a wall of speeding cars to shoot from 18th to first in the last five laps, earning the last of his 76 victories. "Man, all I did was aim the car where they wasn't and hope there'd still be a hole when I got there," he said happily. "I couldn't even believe it." I knew he took chances, but, for some reason, I never worried about Dale Earnhardt. For years, I worried about the aging A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Richard Petty - then the three biggest names in U.S: auto racing - as their sk.ills faded and people wondered why they didn't retire. ' . But I never worried about Earnhardt. He was too tough, too. focused, too ... well, Dale. Now, unbelievably, he's gone.

But the 25-year-old Busch Series driver wants it known he could never really replace Earnhardt, the seven-time Winston Cup champion who was killed Sunday in the Daytona 500. "I'd like to say one thing," Harvick said, pointing out into a crowd of reporters. "Dale Earnhardt is probably · the best race car · driver that ever came through NASCAR I hope you guys don't expect me to replace him because no one ever will.'( Harvick, a baby-faced blond from Bakersfield, .Calif., was the Busch Series' Rookie of the Year last season while driving for Richard Childress Racing. . Just last week, Childress said he planned to put Harvick on the fast-track. Praising him for his "cool, aggressive . style" Childress said he would enter Harvick in seven Cup races this year and let him run a full season in 2002 as a teammate to Earnhardt and Mike Skinner. Now, everything has been moved up even further and Harvick has to take over for The Man in Black. "Kevin is a good. race car driver and Dale thought so, too," Childress said. "He was going to get a Winston Cup car, but it happened a lot sooner than any of us expected and it isn't the way Kevin wanted. to get into a car." Although it's Eamhardt's •·ar and Eamhardt's team, Childress has stripped ewryd1ing down to rc:ntovc any reminders ofThe lntimidawr.

" It's really in credible," said Chris Dwyer, a wildlife biologist at the Crane Creek Wildlife Research Station in Oak Harbor. " We continue to see otters showing up in parts of the state and in numbers that we didn't expect to see for quite some time. In some locations in eastern Ohio, otters have done quite well in establishing themselves, to the point of even causing problems for a few landowners that have farm ponds stoc ked with fish. Otters feed almost exclusively on fish, and have little problem catching them in ponds that offer Httle escape cover," he said. During the reintroduction progr~un, 123 otters wen: rdeased in the watersheds of thl.' Grand River in Trumbull Counrv, K>llbuck Creek in Wayne County,.

Wildlife surveys and increased reports of observations by Ohio residents show river otters continue to make a strong comeback in Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. Last year otters were reported in 48 different watersheds encompassing 46 Ohio counties. Wildlife biologists report that river otters have been reproducing and expanding their range across the state since 123 otters were released in four eastern Ohio watersheds bl!tween 1986 and 1993. Otters are native to Ohio, but were extirpated in the mid-l800s from loss of high quality habitat along rivers and streams and unregulated trapping. They are currently a candidate for de-listing from the state endangered species list because of their increased numbers and distrib- Jim Freeman IN THE OPEN ating trappers in the Louisiana bayou region by using modern foothold traps.

But don't expect to see them around these parts, at least not for a Htde while. Although Dwyer said one otter was observed· in Meigs County near the Athens County line last year, none were observed in Gallia County. The Division continues to monitor the otter population using several methods.

" It's really in credible," said Chris Dwyer, a wildlife biologist at the Crane Creek Wildlife Research Station in Oak Harbor. " We continue to see otters showing up in parts of the state and in numbers that we didn't expect to see for quite some time. In some locations in eastern Ohio, otters have done quite well in establishing themselves, to the point of even causing problems for a few landowners that have farm ponds stoc ked with fish. Otters feed almost exclusively on fish, and have little problem catching them in ponds that offer Httle escape cover," he said.

Wildlife surveys and increased reports of observations by Ohio residents show river otters continue to make a strong comeback in Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. Last year otters were reported in 48 different watersheds encompassing 46 Ohio counties. Wildlife biologists report that river otters have been reproducing and expanding their range across the state since 123 otters were released in four eastern Ohio watersheds bl!tween 1986 and 1993. Otters are native to Ohio, but were extirpated in the mid-l800s from loss of high quality habitat along rivers and streams and unregulated trapping. They are currently a candidate for de-listing from the state endangered species list because of their increased numbers and distrib- Jim Freeman IN THE OPEN ating trappers in the Louisiana bayou region by using modern foothold traps.

Does . anyone know why Americans are so fat? The larest figures from the Centers for Disease Control . in Atlanta show an increase , in obesity from 12 percent ' of the population 10 years ago to nearly 20 . percent now. The reason? The short answer is a simple one .. · Obese people consume : more calories thaf\ they ·, burn, and the body stores ·r the excess as fat. But the reasons behind this are, of course, tnore contplex. Differences in a body's metabolic rate can have a big effect on weight gain and weight loss. Regular exercise, which helps build muscles, is one way to increase : the body's metabolism. So, exercising more gives a . one-two punch against obe' sity - the immediate energy outlay helps you burn '~ calories you've consumed, and more muscle mass " increases your basic metabolic rate. A recent study at the Broo\chaven National Labo" ratory, reported in the medical journal The Lancet, : offers a suggestion for why some may be prone to obe, sity. It seems that obese people tend to have fewer dopamine 'r eceptors in the Collins brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps pro- · duce feelings of satisfaction and pleasure. The finding is leading some scientists to believe that some people overeat to stimulate the dopamine · "pleasure" circuits in the brain, just as addicts do by . taking drugs. However, the findings could mean just the opposite - overeating could cause a decrease in the receptors. Scientists just aren't sure yet. Other studies have .s hown a link between obesity and insulin levels, and of levels of a hormone called leptin.As time goes on, more physical causes could be found for abnormal weight gain. While scientists se~rch for explanations for obesity, we can still do our part to Jive a healthier lifestyl~l. Eating at least five fruits and vegetables a day, keeping fat calories to a maximum of 30 ·percent per day, eating a wide variety of foods, and keeping simple sugars to a minimum. Regular exercise of at least 30 minutes three times a week is important. (Becky Collins is Gallia Extension agent for family and consumer sciences, Ollio State University.)

Does . anyone know why Americans are so fat? The larest figures from the Centers for Disease Control . in Atlanta show an increase , in obesity from 12 percent ' of the population 10 years ago to nearly 20 . percent now. The reason? The short answer is a simple one .. · Obese people consume : more calories thaf\ they ·, burn, and the body stores ·r the excess as fat. But the reasons behind this are, of course, tnore contplex. Differences in a body's metabolic rate can have a big effect on weight gain and weight loss. Regular exercise, which helps build muscles, is one way to increase : the body's metabolism. So, exercising more gives a . one-two punch against obe' sity - the immediate energy outlay helps you burn '~ calories you've consumed, and more muscle mass " increases your basic metabolic rate. A recent study at the Broo\chaven National Labo" ratory, reported in the medical journal The Lancet, : offers a suggestion for why some may be prone to obe, sity. It seems that obese people tend to have fewer dopamine 'r eceptors in the Collins brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps pro- · duce feelings of satisfaction and pleasure. The finding is leading some scientists to believe that some people overeat to stimulate the dopamine · "pleasure" circuits in the brain, just as addicts do by . taking drugs. However, the findings could mean just the opposite - overeating could cause a decrease in the receptors. Scientists just aren't sure yet. Other studies have .s hown a link between obesity and insulin levels, and of levels of a hormone called leptin.As time goes on, more physical causes could be found for abnormal weight gain. While scientists se~rch for explanations for obesity, we can still do our part to Jive a healthier lifestyl~l. Eating at least five fruits and vegetables a day, keeping fat calories to a maximum of 30 ·percent per day, eating a wide variety of foods, and keeping simple sugars to a minimum. Regular exercise of at least 30 minutes three times a week is important. (Becky Collins is Gallia Extension agent for family and consumer sciences, Ollio State University.)
