Gillilan, who was employed as a part time officer. cited his reason for leaving due to conflicting schedules with his full-time job as a patrolman with the Middleport Police Department. Mayor Larry Lavender reported that he had met with Scott Barton and Floyd Hickman, who were present at Thursday's meeting. The officers submitted applications for the position'. Upon Lavender's recommendation, council voted to hire both officers to work 20 to 24 hours per week each at $6 per hour, with a six-month probationary period. Hickman is employed by the Pomeroy Police Department and Barton with the Middleport Police Department. Also meeting with council were water board members Gordon Winebrenner, president, and Jim Riffle. At Lavender's request, council went into executive session with Riffle and Winebrenner to discuss the purchase of additional property for use by the water board. . Council, following the executive session, voted to borrow up to $30,000 for the water board for the purchase of the property and to refurbish the village's Well No. I , with new six-inch casing and a new pump. The depart- ment is presently pumping from Well No. 2. Well No. 3 is available when needed . Robert Wingett, the village's grants administrator, was authorized to advertise for bids for paving of College Road, and Fourth and Sixth streets. Wingett has sec ured a grant fot the project through Ohio Public Works in the amount of $49,854, with a village share of$17,516. Bids for the project will be opened Sept. 7 at noon in the the clerk's office in the municipal building. Debbie Lowery. a Sixth Street resident, informed council that 12 dogs are housed next to her property, and said " it is a horrible situation." She added that police have been contacted, and the neighbors were to be cited to court at th e next offense. "When is next time?" Lowe ry asked. She said that dogs bark from 11 a.m. until noon the next day. Lavender said the situation will be investigated immediately. Bill Roush, councilman , reported that he had met with Jim Pape, member <>f the Syracuse/Racine Sewer Board , about laying a sewer line across village property to the edge of the Williams property, which was approved. Roush also reported that the problem at the kiddie pool has been resolved. Mony Wood reported that a larger light bar is needed for the new firetruck.

OUR VIEW It fuels local efforts to reopen American Alloys .- • Depressed prices in the steel market from foreign competition and a bankruptcy action have shuttered American Alloys Inc.'s plant iu New Haven. Workers who have lou their jobs are investigating the feasibility of buying out the plant and reopening under new management - their own. Although it ·remains under study, the idea of an employee buyout js the most positive piece of news that has arisen in recent months. . It's a show of determination by American Alloys workers not to allow the source of their livelihood fade away. • The feat has been performed succe11fully with Weirton Steel and other manufacturers. When corporate decided a plant wasn't a profitable option, workers have joined together, sought help and kept the operation going. . ' They continue to draw wages, support their families, pay taXes and remain useful members of their communities. : Having seen it work elsewhere, American Alloys staff have reason to believe it can be done here and keep job hopes alive. The plant's werkers are asking for a chance to stay employed in the steel busi_ness, but also have a stake in its future. · But to guarantee there is a ~ture, the~e men and women are going to need help from state and federal sources. We're not talking about corporate welfare, but assistance currently available to keep jobs or generate new ones. The participation ofWestVirginia's representatives on CapitQ] Hill ~nd Gov. Cecil Underwood in the process has been critical. Articulating the need to keep American Alloys a viable business needs their voices. Because the plant employs stafffrom_Ohio as well, U.S. Rep. · Ted Strickland has also joined in the effort. Workers have expressed determination tO operate the plant on a cost-efficient basis if the buyout becomes reality. They will also need help from Washington in addressing the dumping of cheap, overseasmade steel on our market. . if American businesses hope to remain competitive, restrictions · ~on imports may be a necessity. Because the situation has become more critical. our leadership is taking a closer look. It's a matter of ~elf-preservation for all of us, and something has to be done before tt's too late. : A support rally for American Alloys' cause will be Aug. 20 at ).Va_!uma High School from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Various public officials )re expected to attend. · :, The community's participation is encouraged. These workers are )leighbors and friends. Anything helping them through this difficult . period is appreciated. • That's because supporting the preservation of jobs in the tricounty is vital. What American Alloys workers do to reopen the plant is in their best interest, and the community's. Because without lhese people and these jobs, our area would be considerably poorer -: in every meaning of the word. !;TODAY IN HISTORY a KILPATRICK'S VIEW Bush Republicans gentler toward ftderal jurists PHILADELPHIA - It's true what they say about the Bush Republicans. They ARE kinder and gentler. At least they're more compassionate toward federal judges than they were four years ago. In 1996, the Platform Committee brought forth a document of mild reproof. It began: "The American people have lost faith in their courts, and for good reason. Some members of the federal judiciary threaten the safety, the values and the freedom of law-abiding " citizens. They make up laws and invent new rights as they go along, arrogating to themselves powers King George Ill never dared to exercise. They free violent criminals, pamper felons in prison, and abdicate the responsibility of providing meanin~tl review of administrative litigation practices "make a mockery of justice." Avaricious lawyers clog our courts with malpractice suits. This is all the fault of Democrats in Congress and in the White House, who have blocked civil justice reforms. The platform calls for higher standards for trial lawyers, increased penalties for frivolous su its, tighter rules on discovery, curbs on the use of junk science and caps on damage awards in civil cases. The platform condemns the high court's UFS COLUMNIST ban on student prayers at high schoo l football games.

Commissioner named Unions reviewing proposal in Verizon labor talks WASHINGTON (AP) - Unions representing 85,500 telephone workers in West Virginia and 11 other eastem states said they will walk off the job at midnight Saturday if contract talks don't prod'* an agreement. Union negotiators on Friday were reviewing a proposal from Verizon Conununications addressing many of the issues, which include wages, benefits, job security, working conditions and access to nonunion workers,Ver'izon and union officials said. The Communications Workers of America office said in a recorded message that as oflate Friday night, tl.!ere were still "a number of issues" yet to be resolved. A Verizon official also said there was little progress at the talks. "It's nowhere ncar being· a done deal;' said spokesman Eric Rabe.

Verizon, based in New York, was created in June by the merger of Bell A!lantic and GTE DNR: Bears abundant in Kanawha County CHARLESTON (AP) There's bears in them thar streets - and garbage cans and bird feeders . So far this year, the Division of Natural Resources has trapped more than 20 nuisance black bears in the Kanawha Valley and relocated 'them to more isolated rural areas. "In Charleston, there are more bears per square mile living with more humans per square mile than anywhere else in the state!' said Scott Warner, a DNR biologist. The bear population in southern West Virginia apparently is exploding, and the DNR is in the midst of a fiveyear study to find out why. "We think it has something to do wi1h shorter hibernations, a longer growing season and a steady food base, but we really don't know. That's why we're · doing the research . "We figure the more we learn about these urban bears, the more likely we will be to undersund how bear-human problems evolve and how to avoid them," Warner said. last week DNR biologists and game managers began capturing bears from a 5,000-acre tract of private land just outside Charleston. They caught seven bears in eight days. Eath female bear captured has been outfitted with a radio transmitter. Veterinarians surgically implant transmitters into the abdomens of young females that weigh less than 140 pounds. Larger females get radio collars. The goal is to equip 20 females with transmitters. "The reason ·we're studying females is because they're the producers," Warner said. "With the radios we can monitor their den site locations, check on their reproductive success ancJ study their family dynamics.'' Biologists hope to discover whether urban bears' reproductive rate is higher or lower than rural bears' and whether their home territories are smaller or larger. They also ·want to find out if male or female bears more likely to become trou hiemakers and whether females with cubs try to avoid humans. The urban component of the study has just begun, but biologists have compiled a year's worth of data on the southern black bear population . That research actually spawned the urban bear study because biologists discovered that woods south of C harleston have more bears than anyone imagined. "Most people who live in . Charleston simply don't realize how many bears we have within a · stone's throw of the middle of town,"Warner said . Charleston's layout, with heavily wooded corridors between neighborhoods perched on ridges and in valleys, helps boost the bear-to-human a\0 ratio. Let us copy your old family photos.

Employment commissioner says 'pigs' comment misunderstood C HARLESTON (AP) Bureau of Employment ProCommissiOner Bill grams Vieweg offended some employees when he refer red to " pigs at the trough" during a picnic for the Workers' Com pensa ti on Division . The employees believed Vieweg's comment was directed at them , and complained to the governor's office and the bureau. Vieweg sent an e~mail to employees Friday afternoon saying his comment during Thursclay's picnic at Coonskin Park in Charleston had been misunderstood . "Yesterday at the Coonskin event, I used the expression 'pigs at the trough,"'Vieweg said in the e-mail. "I've often used this expressian to describe the Workers' Compensation system as it was in 1997, not any individuals, a~t d not specifically the division, but th e entire system of sta te adrninimative, legislative and judicial agencies, medical providers, claimants . and employers, the legal co mmunity, and all the others who were allowed for years to take advantage of the system.'' Vieweg was appointed by Gov. Cecil Underwood in Fe'bruary of 1997. Underwood spokesman Dan Page said chief of staff Jim Teets instructed Vieweg on Friday afternoon to "clear up any mis; undemanding that may have occurred.'' B.ureau spokesman John Womack said Vieweg had already discussed the incident with about 18 team leaden and claims managers when Teets contacled him. · Womack said between 80 and I 00 employees were present when Vieweg made his remarks. The picnic was held to reward employees for improvements made in the claims office. "There were a couple of comments in the commission, er's re marks that got misunderstood and blown a little bit out of proportion ," Womack said. " Pigs at a trough was not a good analogy, but he never said anyone at Wo*ers' Comp was a pig," Womack said.

(AP) - Researchers at the Universiry of Massachusetts are looking into ways to use agents found in such commo n spices as oregano and cloves to kill disease-carrying bacteria in raw fish and shellfish. Though spices have been used for hundreds of years to preserve food, modern science has been able to isolate, extract and concentrate the specific bacteria-killing agents within the spices. Agents extracted from ginger, cloves and oregano are among those the UMass researchers are investigating Tor use~ against two bacteria found on raw seafood - vibrio vulnificus and listeria monocytogenes- both of which can cause potentially deadly diseases. The agents don't affect the taste of the seafood- at least in lab studies, said microbiologist Robert levin. "The concentration used is quite low and most people probably would not be able to detect it," he said. Judge signs shooting settlement PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) -A judge has signed a settlement for $42 million in a civil case against the teen- ager who killed three girls in the Heath High School shootings. Circuit Judge Will Shadoan said the lawsuit, filed by the victims' parents, was probably the hardest civil case he has faced in 17 years on the bench. Michael Carneal opened fire in the school's lobby on Dec. 1, 1997. H ts attorneys offered to settle and on Thursday the plaintiffs issued a statement saying the families ofJessica James, Kayce Steger and Nicole Hadley had accepted. Five other students were wounded. "I've had some pretty nasty cases," the judge said. "It's rough when you've had children who were killed or destroyed as the Carneal boy was... The judgment means the civil trial scheduled to start Monday will not take place. It's doubtful the victims' families will collect the judgment because Carneal, 16, has no assets and will be in prison until at least 2022. •Free MESA, Ariz. (AP) - The state took Jennifer 'Simmons from her mother when she was just a few months old and put her in foster care, claiming she had been abused. But Simmons still wanted a life with her BJther. She got her wish last year ~ her 18th birthday, in what appeared to be a happy reumon . No one knew the teen-ager's life hadn't continued happily until last week, when Sirrunons wandered into a convenience store in the rural town of Camp Verde, emaciated and bloodied after escaping from what she described to police as 14 months of torture. BLOOMINGTON, lli. (AP) Shannon Smith drove off fiom a service station without paying for a tank of gas, something the mentally disabled man had done on other occa- sions. In the past, he usually rerurned to pay for the fuel. But this time, on July 24, police gave chase. Hours later, the 27-year-old Smith was dead, shot in the back as he sat behind the wheel of his car, boxed in hy police vehicles. Now prosecutors say the parrtime policeman who killed Smith .went beyond the bounds ofjustifi.lble use afforce.

"It's still hurting a lot of people~· Widman said Friday she isn't sure whether the charge against Gabor is justified because she doesn't understand exacrly what happened - and in that she isn't alone. McLean County State's Attorney Charles Reynard has refused to discuss exactly what happened, as have investigators. It was unclear Friday whether Gabor had an attorney who could comment.

The vice president spoke about what he's looking for in a running mate on the same day that he charged back onto the campaign trail with ~ new stump speech that is equal parts biting critici sm and warm biography. On Friday, Gore continued to dangle the possibility of a "wild card" running mate, whose selection he will announce Tuesday. l'le is trying to create some drama and deflate any bounce in • the polls that rival George W. Bush might gain from his just-finished Republican National Convention. Flying to Chicago after a weeklong vacation on the North Carolina shore, Gore told reporters that his list of contenders to share the ticket is "six, plus an out-of-the-box possibility" who has, he assured, been thoroughly vetted. Of those six, a knowledgeable . Democrat said the leading prospects are Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana, John Edwards of North Carolina, John Kerry of Massac husetts and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. In an interview with ABC News, which was posted on its \Veb site late Friday, Gore was asked if Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew, would face as much or even more prejudice from some voters than a member of another minority group. " I don't think those old distinctions and categories matter th ese days, the way they did in the past," Gore replied. "... I think that the day is coming when that'll be COJllpletely irrelevant in all of our politics." And as for Edwards, who was first elected two years ago, Gore told ABC,"! don't think Washington experience is the only experience that 's relevant to leadership and to this country.'-' - - -c; Gore has often said his No. I requirement of a running mate is th at he or she be ready "to become president at a moment's notice." House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt and New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen are also on Gore's short list. Gore told ABC that America is "of course" ready for a female vice president. On Saturday, Gore was bidding for the coveted endorsement of the National Association of Police Organization<. His speech to the group's Washington convention came on the heels of two fired-up appearances before the union workers he is counting on to turn o ut voters for him in November. To separate conventions of union firefighters and letter carriers in Chicago, Gore mocked the Republican convention as a special-interests-sponsored sham and declared, "This is Day One of the fight for working families!" · ltepublicans, eore said over and over in a refrain, "are for the powerful and we're for the peop1e... H e emphasized his Army service in Vietnam and his family. " I also want the American people to know me for who I am," Gore said. ' Bush, who did not serve in • Vietnam and whose father is former President Bush, represents "the faded days and rusted ways of the old guard," Gore said. Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett dismissed the vice president's criticism as baseless, negative camp·aigning. In prepared remarks to the police gro up, Gore reiterated his call for a victims' rights constitutional amendment (which Bush also supports) and for tighten ed gun controls (whic h Bush opposes.) He also underscored his proposal for in creased federal spending to hire 50,000 additional police and I 0,000 prosecutors in com munities nationwide. " There is no more fundamental respo nsibility of government than to keep people . safe and secure - in their own homes and in their co mmunities," said Gore.

" I'm sure we're all going to be a little tired tonight when we get to Detroit:' he said.

But once he had praised his wife and his parents near the beginning, "I knew it was m:~ooth sailing from that point on." aboui the future of our party," Bush told the Pittsburgh crowd. Before Bush and Cheney left Philadelphia, they were given a sustained standing ovation by the Republican National Committee. "We're in for a tough campaign. But we know it.

"I never thought we had much of a chance sin ce the other teams were well esiablished and had a lot of fine talent, but our girls won the first game. Then we won the second, and a third and somewhere around two in the morning we won the Holiday Championship. " That was our first championship, so I guess that was something to remember.

Frank Solich was anxious to know how highly his Cornhuskers would be ranked to open the season. Well , they're No. 1 and defending national champion Florida State is a close No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25 preseason college football poll . Conspicuous by its absence is Notre Dame, unranked in the preseason poll for the first time since 1986. " We appreciate the fact that enough people think so highly of our program to put us at No. 1," Solich said. "We finished very strongly at the end of last year and felt we could play with anyone in th e country. How it all plays out this year, we 'll see." The Huskers start on top for the sixth time since the AP's first preseason poll in 1950. An ominous note for Nebraska fans, though: The Cornhuskers have won four AP national titles since then, but none in years they started No. 1. Coming off a strong 12-1 season and No. 3 final ranking, the defending Big 12 champi on Huskers received 36 first-place votes and 1,732 points from the 71 sport< writers and broadcasters on the AP panel. The Seminoles, 12-0 last season and the first team to be ranked No. 1 from start to fini sh, collected 29 first-place votes and 1,720 points. The 12-point difference IS one of the closest - the tightest preseason poll was 1994 when Florida edged Notre Dame by two points. Florida State coach Bobby Bowden wanted the t<'O spot for one reason - "to see how long we co uld go wire-to-wire and keep it going. " It 's ni ce to be N o. 2, though.

The Hit'n Misses was the first organized girls softball team In the history of Meigs County and served as the standard-bearer for today's high school softball programs in the county. {Dave Harris photo) Sharing a lifetime of memories Bv ScoTT WoLFE OVP CORRESPONDENT SYRACUSE Former members of Meigs County's first girls softball team gathered last weekend at Syracuse Municipal Park to pay tribute to their coach and share a lifetime of memories they made while playi ng together. Over 1OU people, including 40 former players, came from as far away as Binningham,Ala. , to attend the reunion of the Hit'n Misses. Neatly 30 of the ·forlllj:l players, ranging in age from 26 to 49, played.;t game of softball at the reunion. Although the team <tarred o ut just for fun, the Hit'n Misses soon developed into a feeder system for M~;igs County high school teams and the county's first organized softball leagu e. At the reunion the founder of the team, Kenny Wiggins. was honored for the time he donated to the youth of Meigs County, and especially the young women that made up his 1-lit'n Misses teams. "Thi s reunion has bee n grcat 1" Wiggins said . "So me of the girls still thmk they arc teenagers after watching them play the game tmby. Everyone has had a truly great time. Three of the girls' sons (A lex Hawley, Ryan Chapman and Wesley R.iffie) got to umpire the game and they had a ball. The girls are still competitive, too." Originally, the team was spawned from the youth group at the Minersville, Syracuse . and Forest Run churches where Wiggins was a youth counselor. Many member; of the youth group were female and would play softball following the youth meetings. "We tried to have all types of activities for the kl'ds and many sports relate!~ games for them to play," Wiggins said. " We had volleyball nets set upand other games, but the girls kept :isk.ing to play softball. Eventually,they got tired of playing against each other and asked me if I would find them an opponent. I told them I would and from there things just took off." It was back in 1966 when the Hit'n Misses played their first game; a game played at Ordinance Field against one of the teams in the tough Point Pleasant city league. " On a rainy Sunday afternoon, we went to Point and soundly beat a very good team from Dairy Queen, 11-4," Wiggins said. "And the next 23 years is history.

Those teams in contention added veteran help while other teams continued to rebuild or dismantle by unloading high-priced talent for prospective stars. In the back of every general manager's mind is the fear of selling the farm to win now. In 1987. the Tigers traded a young John Smoltz to the Braves for Doyle Alexander. Down the stretch, Alexander went 9-0 and h e lped Detroit win the American League East by two games over Toronto. Alexander disappeareq shortly afterward and Smoltz has had a Hall of Fame gia, Tennessee and Mississippi in the SEC, and Nebraska, Texas, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Colorado in the Big 12 . Nebraska was last ranked No. 1 to open the season · in 1996, the year after winning its second consecutive national title. The Huskers finished No.6 in '96. Nebraska is in the lop 25 for a record · 309th conse-cutive time, with Florida State second in consecutive polls at 183 . Since 1969, the Huskers have failed to be ranked in an AP poll only three times they've been in 483 of the last 486 polls. Nebraska is led by rugged quarterback Eric Crouch, who threw for 1,269 yards and seven touchdowns, and ran for 889 yards and 16 TDs. The offense returns nine starters. and the top three running backs Dan Alexander, Correll Buckhalte r. and Dahrran Diedrick - combined for 1,830 yards .and 16 TDs. On defense, middle linebacker Carlos Polk leads a crew that replaces six starters.

Arizona did well by adding Curt Schilling to its rotation. Now they are in a position to challenge the Braves in October. But the Braves didn 't stand pat like the Reds and Indians .

One of the players, Luis Rivera could be a greatcloser in a few years. The other two, Trinidad Hubbard and Fernando Lunar were not in Atlanta's future plans. It seems GM John Scherholz has do ne it again! The M ets acquired another Oriole castoff in sho rtstop Mike Bordick. N ew York also acquired reliever Rick White and outfielder Buba Tramme ll. Bordick homered on his first pitch as a Met. White won his first game. Trammell homered in his first at-bat . Now that's making an instant impact for your new team. St. Louis, feeling the heat from the surging Reds, acquired pitcher Mike Timlin and first baseman Will Clark from the Baltimore fire sale. GM Walt Jockeny also acquired Jason Christiansen and catcher Carlos H ernandez from San Diego. Jocketty was so busy this past week he literally fell asleep on the phone while he talked trade with his Texas counterpart Doug Melvin .

There may have not been .a blockbuster deal involving either Juan Gonzalez or Manny Ramirez, but there was enough action to finally keep the 24hour sports stations busy. It's times like this that Cincinnati probably wishes they didn't make the Neagle deal a few weeks ago. Now, how is a nine-year old fan that has purchased the latest team apparel to keep abreast of all this action? How about Milwaukee which sent Bob Wickman to C leveland the day before they had a poster night in h1s honor. I'm sure those items made a qui ck trip to the recycle bin . The NBA has seen a plethora of action since Tuesday._ Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady are in Orlando. Ron Mercer has found a home in Chicago and John Starks in Utah. the most sought after free agent, Tim Duncan, decided to stay put in San Antonio. Did you see the size of the contracts being negotiated under the new salary agreement' Jal~TI Rose received $93 million and Austin Croshere a paltry $51 miUion.As guessed, Austin decided to take less to stay in Indiana. Needless to say. ticket price increases have already been reported throughout the NBA. Hill and M cGrady will both receive over $91 million each. That's equivalent to the Burundi national budget. When is the salary madness going to end? M cGwire, who took significantly less to play in St. Louis, warned athletes about wanting too mu c h money. He sees this as the ruination of all sports. He 's right! i Some players have decided, like M cGwire, to take less. Now they aren't suffering, but it's a positive movement. McGwire 's teammate Jim Edmonds and Reds outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. are setting an example that translates into happine ~< being j ust as important as finan cial security. ! Juan Gonzalez turned down a $145 m illion offer from De troit for the same reason . After all, Juan and Uganda ca n both live happy on what he's earned up to this point in his career. Still, if Edmonds S57 million contract is below scale and a bargain, what does the future hold? Those box seats at the Reds' games will be a bargain at $75. -~~~ FOR GREAT SERVICE BEFORE AND AFTER THE SAL JERRY BIBBEE 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 4 Or .. GT. V6.

Keyshawn Johnson had three receptions for 33 yards in his first game action for the Bucs. Brad Johnson and Jeff George led the Redskins' offense for a quarter before rook1e Todd Husak produced I 0 second-half points against Tampa Bay's reserves, with help from Eddie Mason's 77-yard interception return . Chad Dukes scored on a 12-yard, fourth-quarter run and Peter Elezovic kicked field goals of, 22 and 24 yards for the Redskins, who couldn't hold a 12-7lcad.

He picked off an underthrown sideline pass by Ray Lucas and sprinted to the end zone . Ryan Longwell kicked a 35-yard field goal, his third of the night, with 1:57 left. New York's Kevin Williams f11mbled the ensuing kickoff, and Green Bay rookie Rondell Mealey had a IS-yard touchdown run with I :35 left.

The Jets had just 144 yards in the Rookies Corey Moore and Tom Brady made sr~g first impresons. Moore blocked Doug Pelfrey's 29-yard field-goal attempt as rime ran ~ut, and t~e Buffalo Bills hung on for a 21-20 preseason victory over lhe Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night. ~ "I'm looking forward to practice. I've got a lot of improving to do," ~e linebacker said. "One thing this game has helped me with is get ~y confidence back." Adam Vinatieri hit the 28-yard field goal with two seconds remaintng. lifting the New England Patriots to a 13-10 victory over the petroit Lions. . • Brady set up the Patriots' game-winning field goal in the final seclnds with a 47-yard pass to Sean Morey. Brady, who completed 10 of 5 passes for 129 yards, hit Morey on a slant, and he ran to the Lions 0. "The safeties just split and Sean made a middle-of-the-field read," rady said. "He made a great catch, too." In other preseason games, Tampa Bay edged Washington 13- 12, reen Bay got past the New York Jets 37-24, and Jacksonville beat arolina 34-14. Along with the blocked kick, Moore finished with three ~ckles and . sack. "l just wanted to come out and be aggressive. That was my mindset, wanted to come out and play like a wild man," said Moore, <~rafted the fourth round out of Georgia Tech. • "He looks like he's a gamer," Bills coach Wade Phillips said. "We saw lim in practice and he was coming along better and better. Once he t in the game, he made some plays."

I , th e Natural Resources Commission has decided. The no- kill regulations will require anglers to release all smallmou th , large mouth and spotted bass caught berween the Interstate 64 bridge at Sandstone and the National Park Service's Grandview Sandbar facility near Quinnimom. "No o ther species will be affected," said .Bert . ~ieroo, the DNR's chief of warm-water fish eries. Anglers who catch ca rfish, bl~egill, rock bass, muskellunge, stnped bass or hybrid stripers will be allowed to keep what they catch. The commission approved the no-kill zone on July 23. Fishing guides had suggested the change to allow the r.iver's dominant game species to increase in number and size. "I applaud the commission and the DNR for being progressive in their thinking. Now the river will literally have a place for everyone: regardless of their preferences," satd Dave Arnold of Class VI ' FINISHING TOUCHES - Alex Johnson, 11, of Pomeroy, finishes a shadowbox, with a space fantasy theme, that he put. together as a part of the 3-D Art class which finished up Friday.

The University of Rio Grande's Meigs Center just c'c)!jlpleted its third annual Kid's College, which exposed schoolage,d ch ildren to a number of interesting wee k-long courses. From computer> to ancient civilizations, the Civil War to 3D art, H arry Potter to murals, there was something for every youngSter to explore, taught mosdy by members of the University's faculry. The University's Rio Grande campus hosted a similar program this summer, but the course offering.; at the Middleport branch "'ere a bit different. According to the ce nter's director, Gina Pines, culture and fine arts were emphasized in the Meigs County program.

CONCENTRAnON - Adam Pines concentrates on a pop-up story· book for his 3-D art class. Students in the course examined professional pop-up books, examined their inner workings, and then created their own. ry: For those with an arttsllc bent, there was Mural Art and Collage, :in exciting hands-on creative cour.;e, and 3-D Art, which allowed students to ere- ate their own pop-up story book.1 and cards. That class began with an updose examination of how popup books work, according to Cathy Lentes, a Rutland-area resident recruited for the pro-. gram. "It's reaDy a challenge," Lenres said. "These books are vet:y . complex, . and students learned that they must work 'backwards' if their books are to work the way they should." The Kid's College hands-on philosophy crossed from the artistic to the technical, with three weeks of computer co urses. In the final segn1ent of that cour>e, students designed their very own webpage, under the direction of Robert Taggart, who oversees the technical facilities at the bran ch. Each cour>e offered during the Kid's College sessions cost $25, but Pines said that those fees were used to compensate the teacher and pay for materials. Mini-.1chola rships were made available to those students who were interested in advancing their education but were unable to pay the da.s fees. "It's really enjoyable," said Catherine Hart, who taught th e cour>e about the Vikings. According to Pin es. th e courses are designed to encourage young.;ters to pursue topi cs that are interesting to them . and to continue the learning process into the sununer months. " I think it's the kind of thing that a university should do," Pines said. COLORRJL COSTUMES - Gina Pines, director of the University of Rio Grande's Meigs Center, presents certificates to three Kid 's College par· ticipants, dressed in the costumes of ancient civilizations. Caiti Edwards and Matt Hays, both of Pomeroy, are dressed in Greek togas, and Taryn Lentes of Middle port is outfitted in the leather costume of a Renaiss ance horseman. The costumes we re assembled and worn for the "Exploring Ancient Civilizations" course that Pines taught in July. "' . CREATIVITY - Creative energy is the only prerequ is ite for students at Kid 's College. and Morgan Lentes of Middleport and Keith Pearson of New Have n, W.Va ., had plenty of that. Here. they put thei r· finishing touches on their pop-up storybooks.

Janney: a towering figure on 111e West Wing' NEW YORK (AP) - In the : midst of hurling orders at his staff, : President Bartlet stops, cranes his : neck and asks his press secretary a :personal question. : "C.J.. are you taller than you : usually are?" · I .! ' "No, sir," she· Uys, towering ovel'.-him. "I' m my usual height.'' One of the many joys of NBC's White House drama "The West Wing" is beholding the contrast between the sawed-off prez (Martin Sheen) and 6-footer C.J. Cregg, who is played to the heights by Allison Janney. The power of "The West Wing;' and of Janney's role in it. rises far above cosmetic humor. As with the rest of the Bartlet administration, C.J. (merciful shorthand for "Claudia Jean ") is a scrapper with enormous heart, many fallibilities and a gift for snappy repartee. "C.J.," says the president, arguing a point, uon your tombstone it's gon na read, 'Post hoc, ergo propter hoc."' "OK," says C.J., no less deadpan than puzzled. "But none of my visitors are going to be able to understand my tombstone." Janney laughs. "Every day, I can't wait until I get to say C.J.'s lines." Home in N ew York from los Angeles, where "The West Wing" is filmed ,Jann ey can look back on a spectacular first year. The se ries is a ratings hit, and its 18 Emmy nominations (one for Janney) are equaled only by HBO's "The Sopranos." Viewers can loo k back, too. The next three days, NBC repeats four "West W ing" episodes: Tuesday at 10 p.m . Eastern, Wednesday at 'I and 10 p.m .. ami , tonight, the series' pilot at 10 p.m. As Janne y opts for a fruit smoothie rather than coffee at a Manhattan restaurallt (" I don't want to vibrate"), she reca ll s the bracmg challenges of " making a movie that never ends. I had no Idea what kind of world I was entering into. That's because the 39-year-old Janney came from a theater background. Raised in Dayton, Oh io, she was starring in a stage produ ctio n at Ohio's Kenyon College when alu.mnus Paul Newman arrived to dedi cate the school's new J uditorium Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward. en co uraged th e drama fres hman, and after grudu - ation, she moved to New York. Soon, she was appearing offoff-Broadway and scooping ice cream to help . make ends meet. And, just in case the acting thing didn't work out, she was telling anyone who asked that she was a photographer for National Geo~r.lflruc. "I thougfit that sounded like a really romantic, wonderful job." With growing success, Janney dropped the ruse. She landed a 1998 Tony nomination for her performance in "A View From the Bridge." She starred as Katharine in last sununer's Shakespeare in the Park production of "The Taming of rhe Shrew." She also scored roles in the films "Big Night," "Primary Colors," "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and this year's Oscar-winner "American Beauty;' in which she was chilling as the ex-Marine's depressed wife. So now, why a TV series' " I was filming 'American Beau ty' when my manager sent the 'West Wing' script," Janney explains. It was written by Aaron Sorkin, who already had the acclaimed "Sports Night" on AB C. She read the scrip t. She was hooked. "But I though t I did a lo usy audition. I thought I wasn't gonna get it." Since being proved wrong, Janney has continued to marvel at And , often, just under the wire. "He writes under enormous pressure," she says, "and he always cornes up with something amazing." So does Janney in performance. Her actor's tools are formidable. She has a sinewy voice and eyes of heavy-lidded knowingne§!; they se~m borrowed from a character in "Doonesbury." And did we mention that she's tall? "There's something about me that says power and intelligence - all the things that I don't feel, speaking to you now," Janney says with a laugh. "I play women who tend to ,be in the center of something that's whirling around them as they try to hold everybody in place." That sounds right. C.J. is in charge of the White House spin and, with only a few painfu l lapses last season, she kept the press corps in line. She sparred with an admiring reporter (played by Timothy Busfield), whose gi ft for her office, a goldfish bowl, is stocked not only with a pet goldfish but also with an in side JOke for sharp-eyed viewers: an object (a tooth, an Easter Bunny) keye d to that week's episode. And on one festive occ1sion. she treated her co-workers to a lip-synched performance of"The J ac kal," a sultry recording by acid-· jazz artist Ronny Jordan .

Retired dentist completes Appalachian Trail hike BAXTER STATE PARK , Maine (AP) - Ne'er it be said that Andrew Uterhart couldn 't finish what he started, he offers this as proof: At age 81, he fulfilled his dream of hiking the ·.entire Appalachian Trail.

I guess it was the idea that I ·was comp leting something. It was · my last hurrah." With his backpack slung over his shoulders and a hiking stick in each hand, Uterh~rt climbed .Mount Katahdin on July 15, reaching the mile-high summit around mid-afternoon in fog and heavy rain. · · Uterhart started camping and hiking along the 2, 160-mile A survivor of colon and prostate cancer, Uterhart said his hiking days are far from over.

Urerharr started a pedia tric dental practice in Lexington, Ky. , and was doing public health work on the side. His wife, who was hmne rending their garden while Uterhart completed the final leg. had taught at a nursing school and later became its director. Uterharr, who calls himself a "section hiker," would complete a portion of the Georgia-to-Maine footpath whenever he could find rime, often accompanied by his nephews, who love to hike. "We would go together for a long weekend or for week here a and there," he said. · After his latest trek, Uterhart's clothes were sttll damp from the rain as he returned to Katahdin Stream Campground in the early evening. "It gave me a good feeling," said Uterhart, sitting at ptcnic table and sipping from a jug of cold water. " It was just to see tf I could do it." Uterhart noted that lightweight camping gear and cooking equipment were not available when he first set out on the trail. ''I had an old Army bedroll. Marion made a cotton inner lining because they were all wool. I had an old iron fry pan that was much too heavy;· he recalled. For the past 19 years of his retirement, Uterhart has worked as a volunteer for national parks across the country, including the Badlands National Park in South Dakota and the Isle Royale in Lake Superior in Michtga n. Also, he is a volunteer for the U.S. Forest Service. " I like the outdoors, and what I miss most about my practice and working at the children's center is being with and working with people," he said. "In all of these places, I can work w tth people."

He wants io find people who "noodle." : They catch fish by hand. No rod, no .reel. no books, no bait. : The angler stands in neck-deep water, grabs a preath of air, goes under and reaches beneath a rock or into a recess along a steep bank to find a fish preferably a catfish.

The idea arose at a family reunion when Beesley cousins shared 4~eir amazing tales of ca tc hing fish by hand and f.roudly displayed th.e ir scars, he said. , He knew nood)iQg would make an excellent ftlm ~opic, bur findin g other noodlers proved difficult. : "We starred putting up fliers in small batt shops )n rural areas around Oklahoma asking noodlers to ;contact us," says James Payne, one of the volunteers working Wtth the B eesleys.

You just have to be able ro hold your breath and sink in\o the water." Bryan Hendricks.• public information officer for the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Department, says part of noodling's excitement is the unknown. " When you stick your hand in there, you don't know if it's a fish, snapping turtle or a beaver. If it's a beaver, then it can get really ugly," Hendricks says. "Beavers have teeth and they don't like being grabbed. And nobody in their right mind would stick their hand in snapping turtle habitat. The bony plate that encircles the catfish's mouth is raspy and abrasive. "One good pass and it will rake the skin right off their hands," Hendricks says. Suchy has needed stitches to close some noodling wounds. Beesley estimates "Okie Noodling" will cost about S40,000 to make. The moviemakers have filmed 30-40 hours of 16mm and video fo otage and need about SO hours total before the rough editmg begins. Beesley says the doc umentary shou ld provide a counterpoint to work underway by Dr. Debra Sa lazar. a geography professor at Oklahoma State Univermy.

Fereyd~un and h is wife lived in Engla~d fo r several years, then they moved to Canada. .I met Fereydoun around 40 years ago when my son David aod I were on a rrip to Europe.

David and I visited. sl"x forei gn countries. : when we came out of the niountains in Geneva , Switze rland, we took a walk on a bridge across a large stream when I saw a gent leman cryin g.

H e was in New York and asked me if l could meet him at the airport in Cincinnati. I told hun , ") sure could." I p ic ked him up and he stayed with us for about a month and half at our residence at 154 First Avenue. We had a great time ; 1 took him to many schools and clubs like , Rotary, Shrine and Lions. We also went to many other organizations where he spoke to the members. H e was popular wherever he went- h e is a brilliant person and has a wonderful personality. While he was in Iran, he was also a professional prizefighter and held the championship in Iran in the light h eavy weight division for six years. A few years later he called me from Canada and told me I must come to Canada pn a particular date, as it was very important. I went to Canada to see why it was so important- they were having a parry for me with 50 of Fercydoun's fri ends. Many of them were Iranian who had left the .country like Fereydoun did, and they were all very wealthy. They trea ted me like I was kin or a cele brity. During the party, Fereydoun announced the reason for having this party for me. It was be cause I had saved his life when I was in Switzerland. Then everyone gave m e a big round of applause.
