Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett met with the county commissioner< during their regular meeting Thur<day to discuss the project.

The 5200,000 project involves the replacement of the existing bridge on Coun- ty Road 24 near Ohio 7 with a new single-span concretebeam structure. It will be paid for through the Issue II program. Traffic will be re-routed across several nearby county and township roads, Triplett · said. Triplett also recomme.nded vacating two county roads in Scipio and Rutland townships. Public viewings and hearings on the vacating of a half mile of Pageville Road in Scipio and four-tenths of a mile of Hutton Road in Rutland will be held on Dec. 27.

WASHINGTON (AP) Dozens of cities and towns contend the Census Bureau counted people in prisons and college dormitories at wrong addresses - sometimes miles away- and shortchanged the communities of government dollar< ·doled out on the basis of population. About 85 communities across the country have challenged their 2000 census counts, claiming discrepancies over"group quarter<" housing - buildings such as prisons and nur<ing homes that house large populations. Most demographers say government headcounters indeed tallied the right number of people at these loca-. tions, but placed them at the wrong addresses. For instance, about 1,000 ·inmates housed at a Marquette, Mich ., prison were incorreccly placed by the census into another facility 10 miles away, said Ken Darga, the Michigan state demographer. Because Michigan state taX revenue sharing formulas depend on population counts, the mistake could cost the city about $120,000 a year if it's not fixed, city manager Gerald Peter<on said Thur<day. "If there's one group of people you better know where trey are, it is prisoners," Peterson said. Many of the complaints canting into the bureau's "Count Question Resolution Program" are simpler in nature, said program head Robert Rinaldi. For example, a dormitory that sits on one side of a street that se~ as a boundary between two towns may have been mistakenly counted on the opposite side. Another 115 challenges have been fielded !Tom communities based on other claims, such as residential neighborhoods or boundary line disputes, the bureau said. So far, about 70 complaints have been resolved. Although corrections also were made after the 1990 count, a comparable figure was not available. 1-(a_p_py 1fo(idays HOURS: Mon - Fri 9-7; Sat 9-5 Service Pri<:es Exclude Tax. •A D •V • • t A' E • • anct 6est wishes or a 6ritJfit rNew Year!

Now that I've sounded my alarm, I hope it is heard by those who can respond to it. - CONCERNED READER, NEWPORT,VT. DEAR CONCERNED READER: Your letter is news to me - and I'm sure it will be of interest to many others. Surely some enterprising manufacturer will see the wisdom of producing a smoke alarm with an adjustable tone that would make it audible to almost everyone. There is clearly a market for such a product.

Meet the holiday version: Eggnog Pots de Creme. . The "pots" may be little porcelain pots, custard cups .or ramekins. The "creme" that fills them is related to creme brulee or creme caramel. In this case, the creamy custard is flavored . with nutmeg and vanilla, to suit the Christmas season.

Yet cloning to create stem cell lines, as the lab claims to have done, requires . the destruction of human embryos. Regardleso of their intentions, what ACT scientists have done i5 morally wrong, as President Bush asserted last month. "We should not, as a society, grow life to destroy it," he said. Whatever the substance of the research, it und~ncores the fact. that no federal law currently governs 'doning. In Augu!t, Bush approved federal funding for research limited to existing stem cell lines. That restriction has been criticized by research propohents who fear that existing cell lines will be insufficient to develop cures for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other crip· · piing diseases.The House legislation has been criticized on the l:lme grounds. It should be noted, however, that despite all of chi!' promises of cures, none has yet been developed.

What do you say to a mother and father whose · 1-year-old son dies on Christmas Eve? What do you say to yourself if you arc a clergyman who has been telling people that ·christmas means God loves us? These were the questions haunting the young priest. , "When I finished speaking, the family rose and came down the aide and stood by the casket. Then the father, the mother and each of the children bent over, ki!sed the baby and turned and walked to the back of the church. "And through blurred vision, I followed the server back to the sacristy." And the question stuck like a hard lump in his throat: "Why, God, of all times, on Christmas Eve?" He thought of what the Church would S.y - that "God is taking baby Robbie to a happiness even greater than he had known in his family." But right now, although he may have believed that, he couldn't buy it. ·"Why, God, on Christmas Eve?" And through countless Christmas Eves after that, the question always carne back. Now, older and ~iser, the priest still has no answer. Bqt he feels that the question itself was wrong. "We spend too much time asking questions about the meaning of life and George Plagenz COWMNIST The meaning of life is in living it. And what does Christmas say to us about these things? Mainly this - ~t no matter what befalls us, we are not alone, do not have to manage for ourselves by ourselves. The mad may be steep and lonely at times, but God is with us. We can always go to him and b'e helped by him. He will give us all we need to face life- and more than that, to come through with honor and .a crown. What shall we say on Christmas Day - this Christmas Day? _ Only the old story in the old way -'God's love is with us still. ,. And wander as we will, and Jar as we may stray, . . .. Oh, never doubt, His love wilhe~h us out On Christmas Day. ' Though faith may falter, with her banners furled, Still, still across a grim and darkening world, He follows there. . So take your Father's hand, you will not lose the way. Love will be near - and love will understand On Christmas Day. the meaning of our own existences. The meaning," he has discovered, "is in living itself." And that, no doubt, is true. StuddertKennedy said that when he stood before the eternal judgment seat, he expected God to ask himjust ·one questio~:"Well, what did you make of it?" Not "How did life treat you?" .so that. those who didn't do so well on earth would have it made up to them in heaven. Not that, but, "What did you make ·of it?"

Unhappily for the natiop, that's not the kind of leadership we got. : rorism wasn't the all-out war that fighting Kenneth Starr was - or even Linda Tripp. Which was no secret. From as far away as Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin noticed American disinterest. BiD Clinton "was in a very difficult position," he told ABC's Barbara Walters last month, alluding to the Lewinsky affair. "Bue even at that time, we certainly were counting on a more active cooperation in combating intornational terrorism,'' Former administration insiders say much the same thing. "Clearly, not enough was done," former deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick told the Boston Globe in late September. "We should .have caught this." Even former Clinton National Security Council aide Nancy Soderberg, still insisting that the Lewinsky matter never distracted her former boss, admitted, "In hindsight, it (the effort against terrorisn1) wasn't enough, and anyon e involved· in the policy would have to ' admit that."

Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., on "Meet the Press." Indeed, as The New York Times noted, Russett's questions "were not all sofiballs."This is true. Some of his questions were big, shiny beach balls that Clinton could lob back and never see followed-up on again. Russert began by quoting a !tatement by Mrs. Clinton regarding the .Clinton administration's efforts against terrorism: "We did what needed to be done and could be done," Mrs. Clinton said recently, a~ding Clintonesquely, "but it was not -near enough of what should have been done." Logically enough, Russert asked, "What more should have been done?" 1\vo hundred and three words later, Clinton may have stopped ralking but she still hadn't answered the qu.estion. She was too busy elaborating on having done "what needed to be done and could be done" to entertain notions of "what should have been done." The bottom line: "I know that fighting terrorism and going after bin Laden was a top 1 priority of the Clinton administration," she said. Here was a whopper. Even the most die-hard Clintonista won't say that in the dark. As R\ISSert did point out, USA Today, hardly a vast right- wing conspirator, recentfy noted the Clinton administration's reluctance to focus on the terrorist threat in an article titled "Why Clinton Failed to Stop Bin Laden," repprting: "Even Clinton's defenders acknowledge that, for much of ·his tenure, fighting terrorism wasn't his highest priority."

Hartings, the Lions' right guard for five seasons, was close to signing • $24 million, six-year contract extension in late February, only to have talks • break off just when a deal seemed near. · The Lions' new management, led by Matt Millen, seemed wary of giving Hartings a big contract that might limit their ability to sign other players. As a result, the talks never restarted once Hartings became a free agent on March 1. At the time, Hartings badly wanted to stay in Detroit - and stay at right guard. The Arizona Cardinals and Steelen also were pursuing him, but the Steelen wanted him to move to center, a position he had never played in the pros. " I told my agent (Ben Dogr<~) to do everything he could to make sure I got back to Detroit," Hartings said. "But when they changed coaches (from Gary Moeller to Marry Mornhinweg), , it was basically no different than coming here. It was all new coaches and all new management." - And a new contract for Hartings, a $24 million, six-year deal ' that inch~ed a $5.8 million signing bonus, or slightly less than -the $b .5 million the Lions initially offered. ' From a competitive standpoint, the switch looked almost ' dead-even. The Steelen and Lions each were 9-7 last season, and Hartings' chances of getting to the playoffS seemed no bet•ter in Pittsburgh. Now, the difference between the two teams couldn't be more contrasting.

The Steelers (1 1-2) have won their division. Hartings hasn't allowed himself to think that he would still be with the Lions if it weren't for a disagreement over a few hundred thousand dollars. Even if he wasn't during training camp. As the former Penn State lineman settled into a new offensive system and a new position, Hartings constantly had problems with the exchange from center. Finally, coach Bill Cowher, seemingly running out of patience, said, "I've never had a better appreciation for the simple act of snapping the fo"tball." Hartings also learned something else during training camp: Playing center in Pittsburgh isn't accompanied by the relative anonymity that other centers enjoy. Until this season, the Steelers had only two centers in a quarter-century, but both were regarded during their careers as the best player at the position: HaD of Pamer Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson, a likely Hall of Fame selection. Maybe the best compliment Hartings heard once he got over his transitional problems is that there hasn't been any drop-off in play at the position. ''I'm very happy how it's worked out:' he said. " I feel sorry for some of my friends back in Detroit ... but I'm happy her( ' Friday,Dec.21,2001 PoP ART Marshall fans celebrate long into night after win " I just came in and said, 'Don't you quit.

"Coach Zaunbrecher and I talked about how it's going to feel good when we come back and win;• Leftwich said. "It was just a matter of time that we went out there and st:lrted scoring points.'' Among the adjustments made at halftime was a realization that Marshall wouldn't be able to throw deep on East Carolina. "Early in the lint half they were dropping eight and nine guys and we were trying to throw the ball down the field," Leftwich said. "So we said we'D t:lke what they give us, 1:.:1ke the underneath stuff. We weren't going to get anything deep. Marshall's 38-8 halftime deficit was its We understood that.

" The Daily Sentinel • Page a 1 Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio From agalaxy long ago to a modern-day gallery Toledo Museum cifArt exhibits popular _culture 8Y JoHN SE£WER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TOLEDO -The imposing and menacing figure dressed in black: is st:lnding where, just months ago, was a red granite lion from Sudan - a prized and priceless four-ton piece from the British Museum in ;(.ondon. . The Darth Vader . costume from "Star Wars" is at the Tole.do Museum of Art because he has a particular drawing power. Art museums increasingly are counting on exhibits rooted in popular culture such as the wildly successful "Star Wars: The Magic of Myth" to attract bigger and younger audiences. "It's ceruinly not one of our traditional offerings," said Roger Berkowitz, director of the Toledo museum that is known for its outstanding collection of glass art. "We hoped that it would bring in new and younger aucliences:' he said, adding that the exhibit will help make the museum a less intimidating pJace. "We're always working to make people feel more comforuble.'' It seems to have worked. Galleries have been filled with families and young children. It's not just science fiction that is creeping into museums. There was "The Art of the Motorcycle" at the Guggen- heim Museum of Art a few yean ago and, last year, the San Francisco Metropolitan Museum of Art presented an nde to the athletic shoe. That show, according to the museum's promotional literature, featured "shoes that are both express~ve and clisciplined, integrated and colJaged." More pop art came this summer when the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York had a reaospective of Jacqueline Kennedy's clothing and sryle. "It was just basically a Jackie fest;' said Kym Rice, assistant director of museum studies at George Washington University. "People were there mosdy because of the celebrity aura.'' Rice has been critical of the inclusion of exhibits that walk a fine line between art and popular culture. "There's a greater emphasis in museunu on marketing and audience development," she said. "They're willing to blur the lines a little bit." She said her concern is that museums will pass on exhibitions that are controvenial in favor of something that is less enlightening. Still, she does see value in presenting what's popular. "When you get people in the door to see Star Wars you might get them into the permanent collections;' Rice said. The traveling "Star Wan" exhibition has been see'! by more than I. 7 million people in six cities.

No charges were filed against the visitor, and the chair was repaired. To help bridge the link to its permanent exhibits, the Toledo museum set up a companion display that helps explain why the art of "Star Wan" is univenal and timeless.

Evan Levine COLUMNIST SHOWBIZ BRIEFS from the 1964 original include Rudolph's reindeer girlfriend, Clarice, the goodhearted miner, Yukon Cornelius, and the dentist elf, Hermie. The celebrity voices include Rick Moranis and Richard Dreyfuss. While the sequel has been put together carefully, it revolves .around a mysterious Toy Taker who is taking toys - a notion that Claire, 5, found creepy, even though it has a happy ending, and many kids will even preclict what will happen. Rudolph and his friends have to find the Toy Taker and save Christmas. Will they never get a break? While the sequel doesn't come close to having the charm of the original, the vmces have been well matched, and slightly older kids may enjoy the nonstop action. Ratings Scale: 1-10 (10 is the highest) Appropriateness: 5 This one has some moderately scary moments; better · for kids over 5. Visuals: 6 It's more sophisticated-looking than the original, but some older folk may mourn for those Claymarion figures. Humor: 5 The well-cast voices go a long way in keeping things amusing. Believability: 5 For fans of the original, this one may prove a disappointment. Fun Factor: 5 The plot is predictable and not nearly so much fun as the original. Social Value: 6 A decent, if not hugely inspired, sequel. For true Christmas spirit, find the original. Visuals: 6 Some of the animation is very well done. Humor: 5 Because the characters typify many different kinds of humor, much of it is left to Mickey or to the individuals in the short sequences. Believabifity: 5 Ariel and Pluto in the same room is enough to cause confusion in anyone. Social Value: S Parents may find it somewhat promotional - not to mention a little misleading - but kids who understand 'what they're getting may enjoy the array and the spectacle. Fun Factor: 6 The different vignettes are amusing; when everyone is gathered together, it sometimes feels strained.

"Remind me: What did I tell you?" tl1e world's bestloiown Arab novelist teased. Then he opened his mouth wide - lighting up his thin, bearded face - to deliver his trademark booming guffaw. At 90, Mahfouz laughs at his own failing memory, hearing, sight; :Sut he is also fully engaged, hunching forward and widening his eyes behind dark glasses to indicate that he's all attention whenever · anyoni leans close to . shout into the hearing aid he wears in his, left ear. Inevitably . these days, the talk turns to' the war on terror.. Mahfouz deplores the Sept. ll attacks on New York and Washington and grieves for the dead, but he questions whether the answer is war, in which innocents are inevitably killed. "If , you want to be the leader "bf the world, you need might to lead the world, but ~justice to save it," he said. : That concern with justice land · with the plight of the :weak will be familiar to any:on~ who has read Mahfouz's :fiction.

With "A Beautiful Mind," HOW2rd achieves the balance that has eluded him for years in directing sappy, feel-good movies such as .uCocoon" and "Parenthood:' He manages to evoke genuine emotion from the audience without schmaltz. "A Beautiful Mind" is HOW2rd's best movie, and easily one of the best movies of the year. It also features the strongest performance we've seen yet from Russell Crowe, who proves increasingly more versatile with each role he mes. As tortured math genius John Forbes Nash Jr., Crowe's transformation is stunning reminiscent of the one he pulled off two years ago in "The Insider," but even more effective because Nash's story is so rimch more personal. It's almost too bad that he won the best-actor Oscar last year for "Gladiator," because he deserves the awvd even rna" for his work here. Based on the biography of the same name by Sylvia Nasar, "A Beautiful Mind" follows Nash from the late 1940s at Princeton, where he studied mathematics with some of the world's greatest minds, through his battle with schizophrenia, and ends in 1994, when his game theory earned him the Nobel Prize. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman mes some liberties with Nash's story; he conderues several characters, and omits the fact that Nash had a mistress with whom he had a child, for example. But Goldsman 1tay1 true to the basic coune of Nash's life. With his West Virginia drawl, manic tics . and standoffish demeanor, Nash stand. out from his peen at Princeton. He's almost proud of being anti-social, and his sly, subtle put-downs don't exactly ende.ar him to anyone. When a classmate at a party mistakes him for a waiter, Nash quips, "I imagine -you're gertirig quite used to miscalculation." His one friend is his charismatic British roommate, Charles (Paul Bettany). Nash rarely attend. class, instead spending his days searching mntically for one truly original idea. The theory he eventually concocts about competition contradicts a century and a half of economic Reais PbUbln (LiV4 With thought, and earns him a research and teaching spot at MIT. One day, govel'Jlment agent William Parcher (an appropriately mysterious Ed Harris) approaches him on campus and recruits him for a top-secret code-cracking project at the height of the Cold War. . Soon afterward, N ..h meets the other most influential person in his life:Aiicia Larde Qennifer Connelly), a student who will become his wife. She's bold and self-assured; he's instandy intrigued, in his own awkward way. His idea of courting is telling her during a romantic picnic, "All I really W..nt is to have intercourse with you as soqn as possible." He can't tell Alicia what he's. doing for the government: spending days scouring newspape1'5 and magazines for codes he believes the Russians have hidden for each other. The project becomes his obsession, but it becomes increasingly'difficult for him to discern reality from imagination. He end. up in a hospital, where Dr. Rosen .(Christopher Plummer) · diagnoses him with schizophrenia. The saddest part of the movie is watching Nash struggle with his own mind; once his strength, it's now his liability. He recognizes when he's delusional and thinks he knows how to stop.it - it's just like solving a math problem, he figures. Aging on screen over a period of nearly 50 years, Crowe turns N..h from a swaggering genius to a shaken shell of a man, and the disintegration is believable and co.mpelling. · While this is Crowe's movie, Connelly stands equal as his devoted wife; Alicia stays married to the man she thought she knew, until .he once again becomes the man she knew she loved. Connelly has always ch05en unusual roles in independent films; this performance should give her the recognition she\ deserved all along. james Horner's score provides just the right combination of the wonder of discovery and the hint of something sin-· ister. And the cinematography from freq11ent Coen brothers collaborator Roger Deakins (he also shot their stunning C\oratl-~ Apoorolic Fail> -UmlRood s.u,by. 10 a.m. Md 7:30 p.m. llftlectnutry,7:30 p.m. black-and-white noir thriller "The Man Who Wasn'tThere'') gives the $Ill a dreamlike look, perfect for delving into such a complicated topic as the human mind. "A Beautiful Mind," a Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for intense thematic material, sexual content and a · scene of violence.

CENSUS rate in double digits ., Please - I KELLER'S AK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) - It's not just a case of nostalgia distorting one's childhood memories - for many Americans, white Chrisrmases reaDy were more common back when they were kids. A study of four decades of Dec. 25 statistics in 16 U.S. cities found that Christmas Day snows of at least an inch have declined since the 1960s. Altogether, the number of white Christmases per decade dropped fiom 78 in the 1960s to 39 in the 1990s, according to researchers at the Oak 'Ridge National Laboratory. Oak Ridge meteorologist Dale Kaiser said the findings confirm what many people probably suspected. "If we think back to Christmas mornings through our lives, I wouldn't be surprised ·if a lot ofus. didn't say, 'Gee, I don't remember white Christmases since I was a kid,"' Kaiser said. "Yes, we are experiencing fewer white Christmases than we did 40 years ago." , Kaiser, who ordinarily spends his . time studYing climate- ·change ov~r the United States, Russia and China, cautioned against reading too much into .the survey. He said global warming might be a factor, but 'the survey did not look for causes or consider longer-term trends. Seattle bad two >'nowy Christmases in the 1960s while Washington, D.C., had four, but neither has had one since. New York had five in the '60s and only one in each of the last three decades.

(AP) , - The Florida Orchestra has dropped a lawsuit against Arista Records over royalties from the rerelease of"The Star-Spangled Banner," which it recorded witl1 Whitney Houston in 1991. Both sides said Tuesday they are "actively working" to resolve the dispute, which prompted a lawsuit on friday. The orchestra filed a motion in Hillsborough , Circuit Court Monday volun' tarily dismissing the lawsuit. ' "We're very hopeful it will work out real quickly;' orchestra attorney Frank Jakes said.

The lawsUit had asked a judge to enfOrce terms of a 1991 agreement requiring Arista to pay the orchestra royalties on all sales worldwide. The orchestra had said Arista · had refused to respond to previous attempts to discuss the royalties. The royalties could mean hundreds of thousands of poUars for !he nonprofit orchestra, whifh cut its budget by $600,000 this year to $7.6 million and forced musicians to take a pay cut. tmts words that will be enshrined through Christian history ("henceforth all generations will call me blessed''). We also get the earliest explanation, however brief. of why Mary was chosen to give birth to the messiah: She "found favor .with God." The early Christians apparently desired material beyond what the Gospels provided, w'hich brings us to the New Testament Apocrypha, early Christian writings tlhat were rejected as inauthentic when the church fixed the list of biblical books. "No woman has had more influence on Christian faith and practice" than Jesus' m6ther Mary, says Ronald F. Hock of the Univenity of Southern California. Yet "it would be extremely difficult to explain her tremendous role throughout history" solely fiom the New Testament. In Bible Review magazine, Hock recently surveyed the ~evelopment of Mary's prominence as foUows: Paul's epistles, which ·were written before the four Gospels, contain the earliest surviving reference to Mary, a passing, impenanal mention that . Hock published a 1995 translation of one such Jesus wa.s "born of a woman" (Galatians 4 ,4). To writing, the "Infuncy Gospel of James." It was Hock, that shows "interest in Mary had not yet supposedly written by Jesus' brother, but Hock taken root:' says that's impossible because the book obviousIn Mark, often considered the earliest Gospel, ly drew upon Matthew and Luke, which were Mary speaks not a word and is mentioned in written after James was executed in A.D. 62. 3:31-35, where the importance of her mother- Hock dates "James" at perhaps A.D. 125 to 140. In "James;' we're told of Mary's parents ·hood is downplayed, and in vene 6:3, which undencores her family's low social standing. Joachim and Anna, who became figures in their Matthew, which Hock thinks was the next own right in later Christian art.
