Mining operations along a vein of coal which began in January have d1tliaged County Road 1 (Salem School Lot), said Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett. ' ''T·he • road- ·has •· been ' cracking," he said. Crews have had to make repairs along the rural road four times since January, but recently a portion of the road began to break up, Triplett said. Last week, pavement began to deteriorate to the point that Triplett's office removed the asphalt and laid gravel. Workers are monitoring the area, but the road remains open to traffic, Triplett said. · Triplett said he is unsure of why the most recent mining has damaged the road so significantly, but he speculates that soil conditions in the area may be contributing to the problem . Southern Ohio Coal, recently acquired by CONSOL Energy, will pay for the necessary repairs caused . by the mining operations, Triplett said. "'We'll get a new road n. Wednesday TUesd•y.

Attorney David Meyer said Monday that the marriage will be .annulled on the grounds that it was not consummated. The agreement was made with state Sen. Ben Espy, a lawyer and Democratic legislator from Columbus, who is guardian for Eloise Thomas Jenkins. She married Jenkins in Las Vegas on Jan. 12, less than three weeks after her husband died. Mrs. Jenkins and her late husband won $6.9 mU!ion in the Ohio Lottery in 1992. Her wealth is estimated at nearly. $4 million. Relati\les of Mrs. Jenkins think the evangelist married her for her money, an allegation he denies.

But get a cold or the flu , and we fold like a cheap awning. Believe it or not, it's all part of the manly art of being manly. Every man likes to pretend he 's indestructible. He 'll never admit· he ca n't lift his end of the piano, or he can't climb that roof, or this is the first time he's used an arc welder. That's where the troubl e starts --just ask the nurse in the emergency ward. A cold is no· big deal, but it's our way of saying, "H ey, I need help" when we don't really need help, so we don 't have to say, " Hey, I need help" when ·we really do need help, If we 'could get help without asking, it would simultaneously protect our egos and prevent hospital overcrowding.

Today's Highlight in History: On july 18, 1947, President Truman signed the Presidential Succession Act, which placed the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore next in the line of succession afi:er the vice president. On this date: In A.D. 04, the Great Fire of Rome began. In 1872, !3ritain introdut ed the concept of voting by secret ballot. . lh 1927, Ty Cobb hit safely for the four-thousandth time in his career.

In 1944, Hideki Tojo was removed a.s Japanese J5rem.ier and war minister because of setbacks suffered by his country in World War II. In 1969, a car driven by Sen. Edward M.

Spreading rumors may seem LOCAL EVENTS Claims of Korean J!Uzr atrocities by US. forces hard to aaept Chu ck Overby, a prof,ssor emeritus of engineering at Ohio Uniwrsity and a veteran of two wars - including Korea - is co,winced he was lied to by our leaders and rh,at the US. and United Nations committed atrociti es against the Korean people. · He revealed his beliefs in an in terview last week in the Athens News.There is no doubt that he was motivated to go public bec:ause of his overwh el ming dislik~ for war- it is th e "most evil , stupidest institution '""" has ever created," he'said - and no doubt a lot of survi ving veterans will agree with him o n that point. · What they won't agree w ith him on is rhe fact chat their service .during th e three-year "police action" to stem the CompJUnist tide in Korea was manufactured by the U.S. military, or wa\ an excuse to commit·war crim es against Koreans. Some of those folks mi ght even go so far as to say it's hogwash. The revelations of th e No-Gun - Ri in cident highlighted an inexcusable, but unfimun ately real aspect of war: .Sometim es civilians are killed. The incident has bee11 explored. But to say chat wa nto n qcstrucri on of Korean life was SO l' for U.S. forces is going just too far, not to mention unbelievable. It's an insult to those men and women who served in the cold and heat of a war - and it was a war - that left many over there and at home w1th confusion about its goals. Most of these soldiers did th eir duty and were more concern ed with survivi ng the intrusion of R ed C hina and the elements than que sti oning the reasons why th ey were thc.re. · Th ey understood a sta nd had to be taken again st Co mmu nism 's spread into Asia. We give that co ntention a passing recob'Tlition now; it was a ve ry real threat th en . Trivializi ng that co ncern and portraying our participation as capitalist expansion rubs salt in wounds that exist today for the survivors. Unlike World War II , there were few if any parades for returning Korean War veterans, and they've fought an uphill battle for reGOgnition ever since. If Mr. Overby is ashamed of what he did on a bomber crew during th e war, then he must fi!1d· his own peace with his actions. He believes e)lposing; what ne views as "atrocities" will accomplish that goaL . . His argument is with our political and military leadership at the time,,who misled troops with what he considers propaganda and misinformation. Considering most of those leaders from Harry Truman on down - are deceased, his quest seems , . to be quixotic, to say the least. If this crusade is to continue, don't be quick to issue a blanket condemnation of American troops' actions in Korea.

But to say chat wa nto n qcstrucri on of Korean life was SO l' for U.S. forces is going just too far, not to mention unbelievable. It's an insult to those men and women who served in the cold and heat of a war - and it was a war - that left many over there and at home w1th confusion about its goals.

Unlike World War II , there were few if any parades for returning Korean War veterans, and they've fought an uphill battle for reGOgnition ever since.

Colon allowed one hit through five ·innings before 1 being ejected, and Jim Thome, Marty Cordova and Travis Fryman had two RBis apiece as , th e Cleveland Indians beat the Houston Astros 10-4 Tuesnight. Plate umpire Andy Fletcher ejected Colon (8-7) after the first pitch of the sixth inning sailed behind Scott Servais' head and actually hit the bat. "I don't know why th ey 'took · tne out," Colon said through an interpreter. "1 was trying to·go inside and the ball just slipped out of my hand. If I wmted to hit somebody, I can hit them anytime I want to. I wasn't throwing at him." The tension began in the top of the inning when reliever Jim Mann, just up from Triple-A New Orleans, hit Juan Gonzalez and Marty Cordova with pitches. Gonzalez injured his left hand and was forced to leave the game. Two days ago, Indians outfielder Ellis Burks fractured the top part of his thumb when he was hit by a pitch from Amos reliever Octavio Dote!.

NATHAN (AP) What do you do when everything that mattered most to you is suddenly gone? In Kathleen DeMarco's first novel, "Cranberry Queen" (Talk Miramax, 257 pages, $21.95), Diana Moore loses h er entire family - mom, dad , and brother - in a car crash caused by a drunk driver. In a state of emotional shock, she flees her job and New York apartment, gets on to the highway and drives to nowhere in particular as if her life depended on it. Just when it seems things co uldn't get worse, they do. Distracted by her grief, Diana:s car hits an old woman. Certain she has killed her, Diana scrambles out of her car to call for help. That's when she has her first encounter with Rosie - who turns out to be anything but 'your typical little old lady. Rosie may be a grandmother, but she still · cruis es around on a sleek gre en motorcycle." She says: "When you get old, everyone wants to protect you. They don't remember that if you managed to get this old, you 've probably figured o u.t how to protect your, · self." Then there's Louisa, Rosie's beautiful, confident, yet unstable grand- . daughter, who drink s vodka like water. Though . Diana and Louisa get off to a rough start, as the novel progresses they develop an intriguing, if rocky, relationship. Rosie and Louisa are joined by a host of colorful cha'racters who take part in Diana's adven tu res. There's · Gabe, Rosie 's silent but adoring hu sband, who serves as 1 • the town 's one-man police force; Jack , whose browngold hair and. sexy scar Diana finds irresistible; and Sam, th e mysterious man who followed Diana from the funeral to New Jersey's cranberry country. While Diana has no idea what he wants from her, it seems inevitable that she will find out. "I feel like Alice," Diana says, "tumbling down a rabbit hole in a fantasy place labeled the Garden State." Indeed, the world she stumbles upon does seem magical thanks largely to DeMarco's alluring descriptions of the New Jersey countryside. "Cranberry Queen" is a charming story about grief, love and, above all, hope. DeMarco's ability to describe complex emotions makes her novel both realistic and touching.

SharP HOUSTON (AP) - Bartolo Colon was in the midst of a dominant performance, until it came to an abrupt end. Colon allowed one hit through five ·innings before 1 being ejected, and Jim Thome, Marty Cordova and Travis Fryman had two RBis apiece as , th e Cleveland Indians beat the Houston Astros 10-4 Tuesnight. Plate umpire Andy Fletcher ejected Colon (8-7) after the first pitch of the sixth inning sailed behind Scott Servais' head and actually hit the bat. "I don't know why th ey 'took · tne out," Colon said through an interpreter. "1 was trying to·go inside and the ball just slipped out of my hand. If I wmted to hit somebody, I can hit them anytime I want to. I wasn't throwing at him." The tension began in the top of the inning when reliever Jim Mann, just up from Triple-A New Orleans, hit Juan Gonzalez and Marty Cordova with pitches. Gonzalez injured his left hand and was forced to leave the game. Two days ago, Indians outfielder Ellis Burks fractured the top part of his thumb when he was hit by a pitch from Amos reliever Octavio Dote!. Dugouts emptied after the pitch to Servais, delaying the game about five minutes.

NATHAN (AP) What do you do when everything that mattered most to you is suddenly gone? In Kathleen DeMarco's first novel, "Cranberry Queen" (Talk Miramax, 257 pages, $21.95), Diana Moore loses h er entire family - mom, dad , and brother - in a car crash caused by a drunk driver. In a state of emotional shock, she flees her job and New York apartment, gets on to the highway and drives to nowhere in particular as if her life depended on it. Just when it seems things co uldn't get worse, they do. Distracted by her grief, Diana:s car hits an old woman. Certain she has killed her, Diana scrambles out of her car to call for help. That's when she has her first encounter with Rosie - who turns out to be anything but 'your typical little old lady. Rosie may be a grandmother, but she still · cruis es around on a sleek gre en motorcycle." She says: "When you get old, everyone wants to protect you. They don't remember that if you managed to get this old, you 've probably figured o u.t how to protect your, · self." Then there's Louisa, Rosie's beautiful, confident, yet unstable grand- . daughter, who drink s vodka like water. Though . Diana and Louisa get off to a rough start, as the novel progresses they develop an intriguing, if rocky, relationship. Rosie and Louisa are joined by a host of colorful cha'racters who take part in Diana's adven tu res. There's · Gabe, Rosie 's silent but adoring hu sband, who serves as 1 • the town 's one-man police force; Jack , whose browngold hair and. sexy scar Diana finds irresistible; and Sam, th e mysterious man who followed Diana from the funeral to New Jersey's cranberry country. While Diana has no idea what he wants from her, it seems inevitable that she will find out. "I feel like Alice," Diana says, "tumbling down a rabbit hole in a fantasy place labeled the Garden State." Indeed, the world she stumbles upon does seem magical thanks largely to DeMarco's alluring descriptions of the New Jersey countryside. "Cranberry Queen" is a charming story about grief, love and, above all, hope. DeMarco's ability to describe complex emotions makes her novel both realistic and touching.

That question was asked a whole bunch last week when Dale' Earnhardt Jr. won the Pepsi 400 on the very track where his father, NASCAR 's famed "Intimidator" Dale Earnhardt, was killed last February. Prior to the race, somebody had jokingly said that " Wouldn't it be ironic if Dale Jr. won the first race at th~ supertrack after his father's death?" · . Besides pointing out the mis- use of the term ironic, I made some comment about a screenwriter not being able to put a more sentimental ending on a tale.

Lehman finds deeper rough and more bunker$ LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) - When Tom Lehman won his only major championship at the British Open five years ago, the best defense Royal Lytham & St. Annes had to offer were the . deep bunkers that· litter the course. A li ngering drought had left the rough so wispy that even a long but wild hitting amateur named Tiger Woods lehman 'tnamged to find his way around with a 66 in the second round. " I don't recall ever being worried about hitting the ball in the rough ," Lehman said. "If you hit it (n there, it was pretty easy to get it out." Lehman didn 't even need to hit a ball off the fairway in his fi rst full practice ro und Monday to lind out what a difference five years can make. Just looking · at rough that grows waist high in some areas was eno ugh to see that things indeed had changed. Instead of th e pale,, thin blades that grew in 1996, there is now deep roush lining the fairways. T his grass not only looks treacherous, it is. " It has that greenish- brown look to it, which says it all," Lehman said. " When it's all brown, that's going to be wispy, dry stuff When the bottom is green, the ' ball is going to burrow in there, and it's no t going to · be fri endly." Friendly may not be the word players attach this week to Royal Lytham & St. Annes, which figures to offer a stiffer challenge than it did in 1996. The Britis'' Open itself will have a far different look than a year ago, when Woods romped to a win at St. Andrews. Woods never found a bunker in follr days last year over an Old Course that played benign in light winds and w ith no rough . If he esr;apes the sand again at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, it might be such a feat that it will merit a plaque like the one for Bobby Jones for an iron from the sand that helped him win the 1926 Open . Fourteen bunkers have either been odded or reopened sin ce 1996, bringing the total to 196. That means eac h hole averages about 11 bunkers. Wars~ yet, som~ have been deepened, with imposing sod walls that ca n swallow a golf ball or force players to play out sideways or, in ·Some cases, backward. Lehman haq just finished putting on the eighth green Monday when he ' turned to look at one of the bunkers. " I bet it's I 0 feet," he said. Not willing to venture in there himself, Le.hman asked for volunteers in the gallery to step into the bunker so he could get a better idea. One . man who annou nced he was 6-foot1 took him up on the offer, and his head was 3 feet from the top. At St. Andrews , Woods was able to blast tee shots past many o f the fa irway bunkers. He'll have a tougher tinie this week on a course that rewards accuracy more than length. "There's bunkers for everybody," Le hman sa id. " I don't care how long or short you are. You have to deal with bunkers somewhe re." Lehman, of course, has fond memories here, where he ope'ned with a pair of 67s and then .took comma nd of the tournament with a 64 in the third round. It is his only major championship win, though in the days before Woods . began to dominate the majors, he tho ught he'd have more. Leh!U'IIl believes his game can be just as good as when he won. "My good is just as good, but my bad. is worse," Lehman said. "Therefore my confidence isn't quite as high as it was then . At that time I expected to play well every time I teed it up." Woods, of course, feels that way now. Perhaps so does Retief Goosen, who ' followed his U .S. Open win by taking the Scottish Open on Sunday. With Woods faltering in the U.S. Ope n and having trouble with his game, others are suddenly in contention again. Sergio Garcia·is among ,them, after two breakthrough wins on the PGA tour. ''I'm playing well and I like my chances," Garcia said. A light wind was blowing as Garcia arrived at the course Monday ro practic<:. H e saw the rough and the bunkers, hut still thought one thing was missing., "Wind," he said. "I want the wind to blow this week." If it does, the rough figures to come into play eve n more and bunkers will· swallow up shot after ., shot. w~~=_,;:...:_..::;__'-!.::::.:_..:._.:.;._...:.__~...:.__.........__.: .__ · _..;.:....!,..J And that is whar a British Open is TIGER PlAYING IN A SANDBOX Tiger Woods takes his ball out of a all about. bunker near the 9th green during practice for the British Open Golf Championship Wednesday.

Manuel thinks Rocker, who has refu se d to speak with the media since June 29, is still re eling from the trade. "With everything that has· developed in the last month in his life, I think the kid is goi n g through a stressful time ," Manuel said .

Sanders, 38, who h as changed his name to Siddique Abdullah Hasan, claim ed the. state bore some responsibility for Vallandingham's d eath because officials would nor negotiate in good faith. Hasan had blamed the riot in part on the prison administration 's intent to vaccinate prisoners against tuberculosis , which drew the objections of some Muslim inmates, including H asa n . Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, writing for the court, said evide nce Hasan 's lawyers presented to show that prison administrators may. have contributed to the tensions that led to the riot was "utterly irrelevant" to whether Hasan was guilty. "The guilt phase of the trial was not supposed to be a freefloating inquiry into who should bear the most blame for the riot/ ' Moyer wrote. "Let us be clear: The authorities in lawful charge of a prison have no duty to 'negotiate in good faith' with ' h;mates who have seized th e prison and , taken hostage s, and th e 'failure' of those authorities to. negotiate is not an available defense to inmates charged with the murder of a hostage."
