The event is boiling down to the pot<ntial first meeting of the season bNween Point Pleasam senior John Bonecutter and R1ver Valley sophomore Allan Brown in the 100-meter dash. Both runners .ue expected to compete for the fastest n1Jn in the SEOAL tnis season. "Last year, [ thought I could take h1m and he showed me I was only a freshman," said Brown . "This year, I've learned a whole lot from my experience." But, before they· can meet on Saturday, they have to run in their preliminary heats. Heat one, consisting of Bonecutter, will also have other area runners with teammate James Hoffman, Derek Burger ofRiver Valley, Tyson Lee of Meigs and South Gallia's Brian Barnes among other.;., In the second heat, Brown will meet fellow Raiders' sprinter Gabe Marcum, Point's Corey James and Chad Sheets of South Gallia. "I've gotten better this year;' said Brown. "I've worked on my start during the offseason. It's gotten better. That's why (Bonecutter) beat me." "The highlight of the meet is probably going to be the Bonecutter/ Brown match up. A lot of coaches have asked me a_boLlt that ;~(ready. Brown's not goint to sneak up on people lih· h<.· 'did Last yt:ar. You're looking at two pcrmcir sprinters. in the area in the su u thea~t (Oh io).

These two could also meet in the 200 with Brown in the seaond· heat along with Lee, Jacob Hill of Point Pleasant and South Gallia's -Haycs Lester. Bonecutter will race in the third head along with River Valley 's jared Taylor, Daqa Bickle of Sou\h Galli a and Jesse Dubbs of Meigs. "I expect, anytime in the I 00, I look for John to place one or two," said Wood. "In the 200, it's always an adventure; you never know what you are going to get. I look for him to want to get in Brown's mind. John is a competitor. He wants to get in Brown's mind that he's there, he's still strong; he's gonna run fast, and let him know." "I see John winning the 100 and placing in the top three in the 200." In heat one of the 200, area runners include Sheets, Marcum, Meigs Derrick Johnson and -Point's Andrew Lewis. On the gitls side of the 100, a pair ofGallia County runners will square off in the first heat with River Valley's Kari Beth Taylor and South Gallia's Holly Haner going up against seven other runners. In the other prelim heat, Laura Harrison of River Valley will be the lone tri-county runner competing.

"He likes remote areas," Tech . president David Schmidly said of Knight. "This is not • big city man. He and his wife visited here and they. enjoyed Lubbock - even the sandstorm didn't bother him. He thinks this would be a good place for him to resume his career. He's positive about Texas Tech." And Tech is positive about him. "I think he's one of· the best basketball coaches to ever live," Schmidly said earlier this week. "I think if we can get him here and his behavior is right and he is energetic, enthused and has the same values that all of us have. in West Texas and Texas Tech- I think it could be a v~ry good decision on our TEMPO part." Texas Tech history profes sor Ron Rainger isn't con vinced the decision is th best one for the universit where he has taught for I years, but after doing hi graduate work at Indian University he sees the simi larities between the tw con1munities. "They are both comm11ni ties that >re very steeped i traditional values and reli gious values," he said. "Nei ther community is one thl really likes or supports a I~ of criticism." Such a lack of criticisr will play in Knight's favo1 the professor said. "Knight was very muci loved by people throughou Indi ana. They often revere, him," Rainger said. "There i also going to be a lot of sup port for him here because fo many people he represent the traditional values of dis cipline and hard work. An, even if- his behavior goes little bit too far, it goe toward achievmg those prin ciplcs, so it's ove rlooked." Making history: · ' '· Special Gallipolis • Pomeroy • P1.

OUR READERS' VIEWS I • During the past week, national agricultural orgamzations have reminded us of a very important fact: farmers are responsible for production of the food we eat. Think about that as you .munch on that cheeseburger, or enjoy offerings on a salad bar, or even as you sit down to Sunday dinner. Food production, as well as a number of related products, come from farms all over the country. This fact is all the more amazing considering the hardships the agricultural indu·scry has undergone in recent years. The family farm is by no means a thing of the past, but there are fewer of them around today. Experts tell us the reason is that private production isn't profitable. But if it isn't a moneymaker for the individual and his family, why does it make corporate farming so successful? Finances are the answer. Obviously, an organization with the resources to farm massive amounts of product can turn a profit. However, privately run farms remain, and are in evidence in the tri-county area, providing markets with beef, poultry, vegetables, milk, tobacco· and numerous other products year in, year out. Think about what it took for the local farmer to create the product in terms of-hours, equipment and pure sweat, so we can all enjoy what he or she makes available to Uj, and why the US. remains the bread basket of the world. Farming is by no means easy. and even during the non-production period, there's no lack of work for local producers as · they gear their farms up for another season of planting, growing and breeding. The profit motive exists for them as it does any businessman, but they are also motivated by the belief that farming is a way of life, one they have grown up with and is in need of preservation. Agriculture was about the primary way of making a living for those folks who seeded these United States, making it one of the key components of the pioneer spirit we treasure as part · of our heritage. · That kind of spirit is not something we want to see disappear from our consciousness. . For that' reason, those farmers who continue to produce against the burdens of debt, unstable markets and the unpre. dictability of weather deserve our thanks and commendation for hanging in there and keeping our tables and &cezers full. Without them, our quality of life would suffer harm that can't be easily repaired. Just something io ,think about the next time you pull frozen vegetables from the supermarket case. The s1ore didn't grow them- but American farmers surely did. ' TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday. March 25, the 84th day of 2001. There are 281 da.ys left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 25, 1911, in a tragedy that galvanized ~merica's labor' movement, 146 immigrant workers were killed when fire broke O\lt at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York. On this date: In 1634, Maryland was founded by English colonists sent by the second Lord Baltimore. In 1865, during the Civil War, Confederate forces captured Fort Stedman in Virginia. In 1894,Jacob S. Coxey be~n leading an "army" of unemployed from Massillon, Ohio, tO Washington, D.C., to demand help from the federal government. In i 913, the home of vaudeville, the Palace Theatre, opened in New York City. In 1918, French composer Claude Debussy died in Paris. In 1947. coal mine explosion in Centralia, Ill., claimed 111 lives. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome established the European Eco· nomic Community. In 1965,.the Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. led 25,000 marchers to the state capitol in Montsomery, Ala., to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. In 1975, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia was shot to death by a nephew with a history of mental illness. (The nephew was beheaded the following June.) · In 1990, 87 people, most of them Honduran and Dominican immigrants. were killed when fire raced through an illegal social club in New York City. Ten years ago: "Dances With Wolves" won seven Oscars, including best picture, at the 63rd annual Academy Awards.

I would like to know what has happened to the REAL Republican Party in Gallia County and in the Ohio? I imagine the Gallia Republicans must certainly be wondering what has happened, as the opposition now holds three of the top four offices in the county. Things aren't too good in Columbus, either, as an excerpt from the Toledo Blade on the editorial page of the March 2 Tribune notes there is much ado about the bureaucratic bungling of those in charge of child support payments, and glib references to "compassionate conser- vatistn.'' In my opinion there is no such thing as "compassionate conservatism" either in . the statehouse, or in our own county's courthouse. What we've had from the Voinovich and Taft administrations, and in our own county since the late 1980s "Republicans" whose philosophies and actions are not that of "compassionate conservatism;• or conservatism of any kind. We have had instead the kind of taxand-spend liberalism that would make Ted Kennedy, the Clintons, and their big government ilk swell with ·pride! Real Republicans realize that,; in most instances, individuals and. society are improved not by big government programs, but despite them, and real Republicans know that jobs are created by private enterprise; big govert\ment creates only more bureaucracy! In Columbus, a real Republican wotild be outraged at the bureaucratic bungling that is now in the news. and CLEAN HOUSE, instead of asking high-ranking bureaucrats to stay! A real Republican would be reducing taxes instead of hoarding surpluses, and a real Republican would realize it's not Ohio's money but the taxpayers' money. At home, real Republicans \vould be rnore interested in doing things right, rather than seeing how much of the taxpayers' money can be given to lawyer$, as a result of decisions lacking in plain old common sense. If a· taX had been levied for a specific purpose, a real Republican would have fought for iB remQVal once the stated need no longer existed. Real Republicans know taxpayers,'not the government, should benefit from their own labors, and real Republicans know that when it comes to government, less is bestl It .is my sincere hope those currendy in charge of th¢ Republican Party both in Columbus and Gallia County will realize they have · drifted to the extremes -too far to the left on financial matters and too far to the right on personal matters. Real Republicans will do itjust right. · This can be accomplished ·by reemphasizing two beliefs that seem to be all but forgotten: 1) You have no freedom when you lack economic freedom; and 2) every "rlght" has an accompanying responsibility. Let ma close by repeating John Kennedy's famous line tiom his inaugutal address "Ask not what your .country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". I believe this , still holds true today, but I believe :it can be said more simply:"Quit whining. and tak~ responsi. bility for what you dol" · Robert' 0.

OUR READERS' VIEWS I • During the past week, national agricultural orgamzations have reminded us of a very important fact: farmers are responsible for production of the food we eat. Think about that as you .munch on that cheeseburger, or enjoy offerings on a salad bar, or even as you sit down to Sunday dinner. Food production, as well as a number of related products, come from farms all over the country. This fact is all the more amazing considering the hardships the agricultural indu·scry has undergone in recent years. The family farm is by no means a thing of the past, but there are fewer of them around today. Experts tell us the reason is that private production isn't profitable. But if it isn't a moneymaker for the individual and his family, why does it make corporate farming so successful? Finances are the answer. Obviously, an organization with the resources to farm massive amounts of product can turn a profit. However, privately run farms remain, and are in evidence in the tri-county area, providing markets with beef, poultry, vegetables, milk, tobacco· and numerous other products year in, year out. Think about what it took for the local farmer to create the product in terms of-hours, equipment and pure sweat, so we can all enjoy what he or she makes available to Uj, and why the US. remains the bread basket of the world. Farming is by no means easy. and even during the non-production period, there's no lack of work for local producers as · they gear their farms up for another season of planting, growing and breeding. The profit motive exists for them as it does any businessman, but they are also motivated by the belief that farming is a way of life, one they have grown up with and is in need of preservation. Agriculture was about the primary way of making a living for those folks who seeded these United States, making it one of the key components of the pioneer spirit we treasure as part · of our heritage. · That kind of spirit is not something we want to see disappear from our consciousness. . For that' reason, those farmers who continue to produce against the burdens of debt, unstable markets and the unpre. dictability of weather deserve our thanks and commendation for hanging in there and keeping our tables and &cezers full. Without them, our quality of life would suffer harm that can't be easily repaired. Just something io ,think about the next time you pull frozen vegetables from the supermarket case. The s1ore didn't grow them- but American farmers surely did. ' TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday. March 25, the 84th day of 2001. There are 281 da.ys left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 25, 1911, in a tragedy that galvanized ~merica's labor' movement, 146 immigrant workers were killed when fire broke O\lt at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York. On this date: In 1634, Maryland was founded by English colonists sent by the second Lord Baltimore. In 1865, during the Civil War, Confederate forces captured Fort Stedman in Virginia. In 1894,Jacob S. Coxey be~n leading an "army" of unemployed from Massillon, Ohio, tO Washington, D.C., to demand help from the federal government. In i 913, the home of vaudeville, the Palace Theatre, opened in New York City. In 1918, French composer Claude Debussy died in Paris. In 1947. coal mine explosion in Centralia, Ill., claimed 111 lives. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome established the European Eco· nomic Community. In 1965,.the Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. led 25,000 marchers to the state capitol in Montsomery, Ala., to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. In 1975, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia was shot to death by a nephew with a history of mental illness. (The nephew was beheaded the following June.) · In 1990, 87 people, most of them Honduran and Dominican immigrants. were killed when fire raced through an illegal social club in New York City. Ten years ago: "Dances With Wolves" won seven Oscars, including best picture, at the 63rd annual Academy Awards. A>chbishop Marcel Lefebvre, a rebellious conservative in the Roman Catholic Church, died in Martigny, Switzerland, at age 85. a: Mere is real' GOP? 1 New sense ifpride Dear Editor: It has been some time since I've felt the need to compose a missive, but many things have been building since election day, !''ld I believe it is time to ask some questions. I would like to know what has happened to the REAL Republican Party in Gallia County and in the Ohio? I imagine the Gallia Republicans must certainly be wondering what has happened, as the opposition now holds three of the top four offices in the county. Things aren't too good in Columbus, either, as an excerpt from the Toledo Blade on the editorial page of the March 2 Tribune notes there is much ado about the bureaucratic bungling of those in charge of child support payments, and glib references to "compassionate conser- vatistn.'' In my opinion there is no such thing as "compassionate conservatism" either in . the statehouse, or in our own county's courthouse. What we've had from the Voinovich and Taft administrations, and in our own county since the late 1980s "Republicans" whose philosophies and actions are not that of "compassionate conservatism;• or conservatism of any kind. We have had instead the kind of taxand-spend liberalism that would make Ted Kennedy, the Clintons, and their big government ilk swell with ·pride! Real Republicans realize that,; in most instances, individuals and. society are improved not by big government programs, but despite them, and real Republicans know that jobs are created by private enterprise; big govert\ment creates only more bureaucracy! In Columbus, a real Republican wotild be outraged at the bureaucratic bungling that is now in the news. and CLEAN HOUSE, instead of asking high-ranking bureaucrats to stay! A real Republican would be reducing taxes instead of hoarding surpluses, and a real Republican would realize it's not Ohio's money but the taxpayers' money. At home, real Republicans \vould be rnore interested in doing things right, rather than seeing how much of the taxpayers' money can be given to lawyer$, as a result of decisions lacking in plain old common sense. If a· taX had been levied for a specific purpose, a real Republican would have fought for iB remQVal once the stated need no longer existed. Real Republicans know taxpayers,'not the government, should benefit from their own labors, and real Republicans know that when it comes to government, less is bestl It .is my sincere hope those currendy in charge of th¢ Republican Party both in Columbus and Gallia County will realize they have · drifted to the extremes -too far to the left on financial matters and too far to the right on personal matters. Real Republicans will do itjust right. · This can be accomplished ·by reemphasizing two beliefs that seem to be all but forgotten: 1) You have no freedom when you lack economic freedom; and 2) every "rlght" has an accompanying responsibility. Let ma close by repeating John Kennedy's famous line tiom his inaugutal address "Ask not what your .country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". I believe this , still holds true today, but I believe :it can be said more simply:"Quit whining. and tak~ responsi. bility for what you dol" · Robert' 0.

"'they're structurally sound," he said. "No matter how much snow you packed on, it's not going to come down." Many people have found alternative uses for the large dishes since smaller ones began replacing them, said Karen Engle, director of PRIDE, an eastern Kentucky group that cleans up illegal dumps. COLUMBUS {AP) Critics of the coalition of school districts · that sued the state in 1991 over its school funding formula have long complained that the group refuses to put a price tag on a solution that would satisfy its members. The Ohio Coalition for .Equ'ity & Adequacy of School Funding embraced House Speaker Larry' Householder's funding plan the first · solution die coalition has endorsed and its $3 billion increase in education spending over two years. You might assume that would be the amount the coalition would settle for. That assumption is wrong, both the coalition and Householder said last week. The speaker's plan is no longer being proposed. A week after he announced it, Gov. Bob Taft, Householder and Senate President Ri char.d Finan - all Republicans - decided to ditch each of their separate solo- tions and start over. , The Ohio Supreme Court, which has tw.i ce de clared the state 's funding system unconstitution.al, has given lawmakers until Jpne 15 to come up with a new plan. The coalition made it clear that it would support only Householder's plan and that any attempt to tinker with it would only give tlie districts more incentive to fight in court whatever · emerges from the ·Legislature. · The coalition's history of leaving th~ check blank is a Jo\lg one.

"Brick- and-mortar schools will cease to exist if this continues," said Mike Cook, who is considering homecschooling his 15-year-old daughter rather than allowing her to return to Granite Hills High School. "If we can't stop it, home-schooling will start and Internet education will take over," he said. Authortties say 18-year-old srudent Jason Hoffman opened fire at the school Thur>day afternoon, wounding three srudents and two teachers, none seriously, before a campus officer felled him in 311 exchange of gunfire.

"I am sorry for what happened, but I do not know anything.'' Ralph Hoffm311 told the newspaper. Authorities said Jason Hoffman skipped classes Thursday morning, then arrived at school just before I p.m. with a 12-!>"uge shotgun in his hand and a .22-caliber handgun in his waistband. Authorities said Friday that Hoflinan was targeting the vice principal. One shot was fired at Vice Principal D311 Barnes, who escaped injury by ducking into an office. "All ~ can say about the motive is that, by the virrue of the charges, the focus of this individual was the vice principal," prosecutor Paul Pfingst said. The teen-ager will likely be charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, authorities said. Police said they were trying to determine who owned the rwo weapons and a pistol found at Hoflinan's home. Earlier this year, Hoffman allegedly made a reference to the I 999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., where rwo students k.illed I 2 students and a teacher before lcilling themselves. Bernadene Roberts, 18, said girls were making noise in a classroom in · January when Hoflinan appeared to become frustrated, put his hands in the shape of guns and said: "I wish I could do Columbine all over again.''

The bonds would be repaid by the utilities' customers over several years. Davis has said repeatedly he is confident the state's power crisis can be resolved without further rate hikes, but the source said cabinet secretary Susan Kennedy, Finance Director Tim Gage and Deputy Chief of Staff John Stevens all warned lawmakers that customers' rates would have to be raised at least 50 percent to cover the new projections. That mcrease would come on top of a 9 percent to 15 percent increase the Public Utilities Commission approved in January, as well as an additional 10 percent increase already scheduled for next year. Davis spokesman Steve Maviglio confirmed that Kennedy spoke with top Democrats on Friday but declined to elaborate. The source said the cal~ culations were by the administration, not the PUC, which would have to implement any rate increases. Lawmakers weren't told over what time frame such an increase would need to be implemented, the source said. Cohsumer advocate Harvey Rosenfield of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights promised a rebellion at the ballot box in 2002 if rates continued to rise. "If this goes through, this 1s the beginning of the ratepayers' revolt;' he said. _The PUC is expected on Tuesday to address how customer rates will be divided between the state and the utilities.

(AP) -As new details emerge about the second school shooting in this area in a month, some frightened parents are demanding tighter security while others are see Icing alternative ways to educate their children. "Brick- and-mortar schools will cease to exist if this continues," said Mike Cook, who is considering homecschooling his 15-year-old daughter rather than allowing her to return to Granite Hills High School. "If we can't stop it, home-schooling will start and Internet education will take over," he said. Authortties say 18-year-old srudent Jason Hoffman opened fire at the school Thur>day afternoon, wounding three srudents and two teachers, none seriously, before a campus officer felled him in 311 exchange of gunfire. His father told the Los Angeles Times he hadn't been able to speak to his son since the shooting and c!idn't know whaF could have triggered the artack. "I am sorry for what happened, but I do not know anything.'' Ralph Hoffm311 told the newspaper. Authorities said Jason Hoffman skipped classes Thursday morning, then arrived at school just before I p.m. with a 12-!>"uge shotgun in his hand and a .22-caliber handgun in his waistband. Authorities said Friday that Hoflinan was targeting the vice principal. One shot was fired at Vice Principal D311 Barnes, who escaped injury by ducking into an office. "All ~ can say about the motive is that, by the virrue of the charges, the focus of this individual was the vice principal," prosecutor Paul Pfingst said. The teen-ager will likely be charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, authorities said. Police said they were trying to determine who owned the rwo weapons and a pistol found at Hoflinan's home. Earlier this year, Hoffman allegedly made a reference to the I 999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., where rwo students k.illed I 2 students and a teacher before lcilling themselves. Bernadene Roberts, 18, said girls were making noise in a classroom in · January when Hoflinan appeared to become frustrated, put his hands in the shape of guns and said: "I wish I could do Columbine all over again.''

The bonds would be repaid by the utilities' customers over several years. Davis has said repeatedly he is confident the state's power crisis can be resolved without further rate hikes, but the source said cabinet secretary Susan Kennedy, Finance Director Tim Gage and Deputy Chief of Staff John Stevens all warned lawmakers that customers' rates would have to be raised at least 50 percent to cover the new projections. That mcrease would come on top of a 9 percent to 15 percent increase the Public Utilities Commission approved in January, as well as an additional 10 percent increase already scheduled for next year. Davis spokesman Steve Maviglio confirmed that Kennedy spoke with top Democrats on Friday but declined to elaborate. The source said the cal~ culations were by the administration, not the PUC, which would have to implement any rate increases. Lawmakers weren't told over what time frame such an increase would need to be implemented, the source said. Cohsumer advocate Harvey Rosenfield of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights promised a rebellion at the ballot box in 2002 if rates continued to rise.

Clair Muscaro, Ohio High School Athletic Association commissioner, said Thursday he will appoint an independent committee to review financial records of the organization. Earlier Thursday, The Columbus Dispatch reported that its five-month investigation of the OHSAA indicated the organization failed to closely monitor expenses in ma,ny areas. Muscaro said the newspaper's story publicized his own co ncerns with the association, particularly spending by district boards. Traditionally, the boards have been autonomous and not accountable to Muscaro's office. "What we have had in place has not been effective, and I think now is the right time for a change," he said. "I believe it's time that we thoroughly develop policies and guidelines pertaining to district athletic board financial matters," he said. Muscaro said that he hopes to appoint the committee by next week and that its goal will be to have a single policy for all districts in place by the 2001-2002 school year. ''The committee will review the district board accounts and look at ou.r structure," he said. The Dispatch continued its four.part series on scholastic sports with a report Friday detailing how the OHSAA's tournaments have become big money-makers.

Clair Muscaro, Ohio High School Athletic Association commissioner, said Thursday he will appoint an independent committee to review financial records of the organization. Earlier Thursday, The Columbus Dispatch reported that its five-month investigation of the OHSAA indicated the organization failed to closely monitor expenses in ma,ny areas. Muscaro said the newspaper's story publicized his own co ncerns with the association, particularly spending by district boards. Traditionally, the boards have been autonomous and not accountable to Muscaro's office. "What we have had in place has not been effective, and I think now is the right time for a change," he said. "I believe it's time that we thoroughly develop policies and guidelines pertaining to district athletic board financial matters," he said. Muscaro said that he hopes to appoint the committee by next week and that its goal will be to have a single policy for all districts in place by the 2001-2002 school year. ''The committee will review the district board accounts and look at ou.r structure," he said. The Dispatch continued its four.part series on scholastic sports with a report Friday detailing how the OHSAA's tournaments have become big money-makers. The S13 million collected in ticket sales from the tournaments during 4 2,000 hotel rooms, prompting an the last school year led to a $3.2 mil- overflow to surrounding cities, said lion surplus for the association.

Morris, 35, signed . a nonguarimteed minor-league contract on March 6 and came to spring training curious to see if he could win a backup role. He went only 2-for-17 (.118), an indication he wasn't going to win a job. General manager Jim Bowden said Friday that Morris had informed the team that he intended to retire, but had not yet given written notice. Before a 16-3 win over Toronto on Thursday, Morris said he would retire rather than play in the minors again. Morris, who was a medical school · student when he decided to bccon1e a professional baseball player, is I 0 hours shy of getting his degree in organic chemistry and is considering going to law school. Morris had two stints with the Reds, from 1990-97 and as a backup to Sean <;asey in 1999-2000. • • \' q' • Air Conditioning , Power 0001 Locks, Cass. • Delay Wlpera, Till 4X4 *11,800 '' • V-6 Power, 4 Sp.

Morris, 35, signed . a nonguarimteed minor-league contract on March 6 and came to spring training curious to see if he could win a backup role. He went only 2-for-17 (.118), an indication he wasn't going to win a job. General manager Jim Bowden said Friday that Morris had informed the team that he intended to retire, but had not yet given written notice. Before a 16-3 win over Toronto on Thursday, Morris said he would retire rather than play in the minors again. Morris, who was a medical school · student when he decided to bccon1e a professional baseball player, is I 0 hours shy of getting his degree in organic chemistry and is considering going to law school. Morris had two stints with the Reds, from 1990-97 and as a backup to Sean <;asey in 1999-2000. • • \' q' • Air Conditioning , Power 0001 Locks, Cass. • Delay Wlpera, Till 4X4 *11,800 '' • V-6 Power, 4 Sp.

He has only one top-10 finish and is 23rd in Winston Cup points after five races. " I can't remember when it's been tougher for us to put a car up front than it has been for the last . six months, but everybody goes through that cycle;· he said. That's been the feeling all season for Martin and everyone at Roush Racing. It's been a miserable year for· all four of Jack Roush 's teams. Martin is the only one with a top-10 finish, and Jeff Burton, also considered a championship contender, is 36th in the standings. Matt Kenseth is 27th in the points. Rookie Kurt Busch is 29th, and his team was just fined $5,000 and crew chief Mark Chambers was suspended for two races for using an outdated shoulder harness two weeks ago. . "We're not as hot ~~s we have been, but everyone who has ever been really good has not been as good at times," Martin said. "It's called a downcycle and the fans of this sport understand that." Sterling Marlin took the outside of the front row in a Dodge with a lap of 125.387. He's hoping to become the first driver to win in a Dodge in the manufacturer's return after 16 years away from Winston Cup. ''I'm fired up;' Marlin said. "I felt like before the season started this was the best race team I've ever been with. This is the best we qualified this season, so we're pretry pleased with it:' Kevin Harvick, a rookie driving the late Dale ·Earnhardt's car, was third in a Chevrolet and had the pole for almost 30 minutes un til Martin knocked him off. Wallace, who has nine victo: sional to make the field. He'll start 38th. ,. That means all three cars will have to pit on the backstretch, which makes it much · more difficult to win the race.

That's been the feeling all season for Martin and everyone at Roush Racing. It's been a miserable year for· all four of Jack Roush 's teams. Martin is the only one with a top-10 finish, and Jeff Burton, also considered a championship contender, is 36th in the standings. Matt Kenseth is 27th in the points.

"We're not as hot ~~s we have been, but everyone who has ever been really good has not been as good at times," Martin said. "It's called a downcycle and the fans of this sport understand that." Sterling Marlin took the outside of the front row in a Dodge with a lap of 125.387. He's hoping to become the first driver to win in a Dodge in the manufacturer's return after 16 years away from Winston Cup. ''I'm fired up;' Marlin said.

He got to see a lot of it, too, some under condi~ cions ch:u weren't too friendly. World War II saw him visiting Europe as pilot of a P- 47 fighter/ bomber.

To land, he had to keep the plane moving at 250 miles an hour to keep it from spinning out and crashing. His steering controls were shot up and he had no landing gear. But McCorkle survived that experience and flew again . Eventually, he returned safely to his native West Virginia . " [ wouldn't leave West Virginia for anything," said McCorkle, who left his .beloved state for a long Afri can Safari bac k in 1956. That trip turned out to be quite an adventure, too.

The picture editor urged the field photographer to get closer to the subjects so the pictures would have more impact. Simple as it sounds, it's a great suggestion: When you think you are close, get closer. The game is to fill the frame. By getting close to a subject, you eliminate "dead space." Outdoors, this can be sand, sky, grass or just a boring part of a landscape. Indoors, dead space can be a ceiling, wall or carpet. Filling the frame with a landscape does not require any special shooting techniques, but photographing · people close-up does require some extra thinking. Focus carefully on the subject and set your aperture to maximize depth-of-field. If you want a lot in focus, select a small aperture (high f-stop). For shallow depth-of-field, select a wide aperture ~ow fstop). Some cameras don't fire if you are closer than the minimum-focus distance. Others, like single-use cameras, fire /.A\ I~ 'I ' ~ . ..

Alaska's history is quite interesting. During the most recent ice age, about ~ 5,000 years ago, much of the water covering the Earth's surface was in the form of ice and . snow. Great land masses, . which today are under water, were then exposed. One such land mass connected Alaska to Siberia. Anthropologis.ts now believe most of Alaska's people are descended from these nomadic hunters and gatherers who crossed Siberia to North America. These first Alaskans developed into three distinct groups: Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians.

The campaign intends to increase awareness about the vibrancy and real value of today's libraries. The public education effort is a response t.o research that shows that while libraries are popular, they are often taken for granted. Research also indicated that while libraries are rooted in nearly every comn1unity, in schools, campuses and businesses across the countty, they ~re often not visible. The campaign is designed to showaase public, school, academic and special libraries nationwide. "Libraries are a part of the Ameri- can dream," says Marion Cochran, youth services manager at Bossard. "They offer opportunities for education and self-help. But they are also changing and dynamic places, on the forefront of the information age."

NEW YORK - Like a feverish dream, Prokofiev's "The Gambler" spews forth a tale of greed, obsession and betrayal - all set to music that teems with energy, wit and dissonance. The Russian composer's first full-length opera, completed o n the eve of the Bolshevik Revolution , was never performed in his native land during his lifetime. Its world pren1· re came m 1929m Brussels, BelgtUm. · And it's only now, at the dawn of the ?1st century, that this early 20th century masterpiece, based on Dostoevsky's 19th century novella, is being staged by the Metropolitan Opera. Monday night's premiere proved worth the wait. With impassioned conducting by Valery Gergiev, an imaginative production by a new design team, and a bravura performance in the tide role by tenor Vladimir Galouzine, "The Gambler" cast its cynical spell effectively. ·Prokofiev adapted the libretto himself, streamlining · Dostoevsky's story of Russian expatriates encamped at a ·grand hotel in . the mythical German resort town of Roulettenberg. Avoiding conventional melody and shunning set pieces like arias or duets, the composer relied on a conversational st)ile to show the characters relating- or,just as often, failing to relate - to each other. The hero, if one can call him that, is Alexei,, who tutors the children of the debt-ridden General and loves the General's stepdaughter, Polina . She herself is in debt, to a shady Marquis with whom she once had a liaison. The General, meanwhile, is awaiting word from Russia of the death of Polina's wealthy grandmother - at1 event that would solve the family's financial r,roblems. But insteaa of dying, the grandmother arrives to visit and - in an exuberantly spiteful mood - promptly goes off to the casino, where she loses a large part of her fortune. Alexei then makes a desperate attempt to help Polina by winning enough at the roulette table so she can pay off the Marquis. In the opera's climactic scene, he breaks the bankbut when he offers her the money, she throws it in his face and he is left alone with only his passion for gambling to sustain him. Galouzine, who sang with unflagging vigor and acted with convincing abandon, led a uniformly saong cast, including three singers making debuts: baritone Sergei Alexashkin as the General; soprano Olga Guryakova as Poli- . na, and mezzo Olga Savova as Mme. BLmche, a fortune-hunter who abandons the General when his dreams of wealth evaporate. As the grandmother, Elena Obraztsova stole her two scenes with her still-potent, if fractured, mezzo. The production, by Temur Chkheidze with sets by George Tsypin, costumes by Georgi Alexi-Meskhish\jli and lighting by James F. Ingalls, has a nicely hallucinogenic qualiry. Alexei's cramped quarters are represented by nothing more than a bed, a lamp and a high window piled with books. ..;__ BY GRETCHEN SCHWARZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER When her children were young; Martha Tod Dudman never feared their impending teen years. Sometimes · she even felt as if she were doing everything right. "Sometimes I saw my kids on a weekend morning coming in from sledding with their bright bright cheeks and I thought: I am giving them the perfect childhood." However, like many parents, she worried, rushing home to spend time with her children, baking cookies, reading to them and tucking them in bed. But by the time her daughter Augusta became 15, the convergence of drugs, runnirig away, lying, stealing and gusting teen-age angst had created something of a perfect storm, and Du.;lman did not recognize it as what it was to become. .

Alaska's history is quite interesting. During the most recent ice age, about ~ 5,000 years ago, much of the water covering the Earth's surface was in the form of ice and . snow. Great land masses, . which today are under water, were then exposed. One such land mass connected Alaska to Siberia. Anthropologis.ts now believe most of Alaska's people are descended from these nomadic hunters and gatherers who crossed Siberia to North America. These first Alaskans developed into three distinct groups: Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians. The Es.k imos scattered throughout the northern and western regions of Alaska, while the Aleuts settled mainly on the islands which now bear their name - the Aleutians.

Bossard Memorial ; Library, Gallipolis, is joining libraries across the country in a new, national ·public awareness effort called "Th~ Campaign for America's libraries." Sponsored by the American Library Association, the multi-year campaigo is. designed to remind the public that today's libraries are dynamic, modern community centers for learning. information and entertainment. The campaign intends to increase awareness about the vibrancy and real value of today's libraries. The public education effort is a response t.o research that shows that while libraries are popular, they are often taken for granted. Research also indicated that while libraries are rooted in nearly every comn1unity, in schools, campuses and businesses across the countty, they ~re often not visible. The campaign is designed to showaase public, school, academic and special libraries nationwide. "Libraries are a part of the Ameri- can dream," says Marion Cochran, youth services manager at Bossard. "They offer opportunities for education and self-help. But they are also changing and dynamic places, on the forefront of the information age." To · lcick off this special week, in addition to regular Story Time and Lapsit programs for younger children, the library will host "Poe tty and Pizza" on April 2 at 7 p.m. Children ages 8 and up are invited to bring poetry to share - original or a favorite author - and enjoy an evening of rhythm, rhyme, and pizza.

NEW YORK - Like a feverish dream, Prokofiev's "The Gambler" spews forth a tale of greed, obsession and betrayal - all set to music that teems with energy, wit and dissonance. The Russian composer's first full-length opera, completed o n the eve of the Bolshevik Revolution , was never performed in his native land during his lifetime. Its world pren1· re came m 1929m Brussels, BelgtUm. · And it's only now, at the dawn of the ?1st century, that this early 20th century masterpiece, based on Dostoevsky's 19th century novella, is being staged by the Metropolitan Opera. Monday night's premiere proved worth the wait. With impassioned conducting by Valery Gergiev, an imaginative production by a new design team, and a bravura performance in the tide role by tenor Vladimir Galouzine, "The Gambler" cast its cynical spell effectively. ·Prokofiev adapted the libretto himself, streamlining · Dostoevsky's story of Russian expatriates encamped at a ·grand hotel in . the mythical German resort town of Roulettenberg. Avoiding conventional melody and shunning set pieces like arias or duets, the composer relied on a conversational st)ile to show the characters relating- or,just as often, failing to relate - to each other. The hero, if one can call him that, is Alexei,, who tutors the children of the debt-ridden General and loves the General's stepdaughter, Polina . She herself is in debt, to a shady Marquis with whom she once had a liaison. The General, meanwhile, is awaiting word from Russia of the death of Polina's wealthy grandmother - at1 event that would solve the family's financial r,roblems. But insteaa of dying, the grandmother arrives to visit and - in an exuberantly spiteful mood - promptly goes off to the casino, where she loses a large part of her fortune. Alexei then makes a desperate attempt to help Polina by winning enough at the roulette table so she can pay off the Marquis. In the opera's climactic scene, he breaks the bankbut when he offers her the money, she throws it in his face and he is left alone with only his passion for gambling to sustain him. Galouzine, who sang with unflagging vigor and acted with convincing abandon, led a uniformly saong cast, including three singers making debuts: baritone Sergei Alexashkin as the General; soprano Olga Guryakova as Poli- . na, and mezzo Olga Savova as Mme. BLmche, a fortune-hunter who abandons the General when his dreams of wealth evaporate. As the grandmother, Elena Obraztsova stole her two scenes with her still-potent, if fractured, mezzo. The production, by Temur Chkheidze with sets by George Tsypin, costumes by Georgi Alexi-Meskhish\jli and lighting by James F. Ingalls, has a nicely hallucinogenic qualiry. Alexei's cramped quarters are represented by nothing more than a bed, a lamp and a high window piled with books. ..;__ BY GRETCHEN SCHWARZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER When her children were young; Martha Tod Dudman never feared their impending teen years.

'Arrange fillets so that marinadt completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long as possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally· 24 hours to do it justice). Turn salmon every few hours. Preheat oven to 500 F Rub oil on a 10- by- 10- inch sheet of aluminum foil. Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat top side evenly into cracked pepper to coat. Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 7 minutes. (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking- don't be alarmed.) Salmon can also be grilled direcdy over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. Don't even think abeut using a microwave. Avoid overcooking the fillets. Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout. Serve immediately on warmed plates. Makes 4 servings. Note: Although the fish can be placed in its marinade up to 48 hours in advance, it should only be peppered and cooked just before scrvmg. (Recipe from "Off the Eaten J>atl~:. Inspired .

It should comprise cash equivalents, bonds, equities, and real estate and tangibles.

While the long term performance of the equity markets has historically been a steady up trend, · short term direction is always unpredictable. Amid all of this misgiving about the market's course, what should investors do? Hete are some suggestions: Stay balanced. Build a well diversified portfolio where different sectors will complement each other and may not always move: in· the same direction at the same time. It should comprise cash equivalents, bonds, equities, and real estate and tangibles.
