Evidently concerned that Gore might move into the lead, l:lush ,pressed three courts two federal and one state - to stop the recount, at least temporarily. "Whatever tabulations result fium his process will be incurable in the public consciousness and, once announced, cannot be retracted," no matter how flawed, his lawyers argued in papers filed at the U.S. Supreme Court. But as the recount machinery geared up, Bush was rebuffed at m.id~day by the state Supreme Court, where the justices refused to halt the recount to give time for the federal court• to rule. The legal maneuvering followed a 4-3 ruling on Friday by the state Supreme Court that ordered the partial manual recount sought by Gore, and whittled Bush's lead to an infinitesimal 193 votes o ut of roughly six million cast statewide.

BUCKEYE BRIEFS utility seeking price hike CINCINNATI (AP) -The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co. said Friday it will seek regulatory approval to raise natural gas prices by about 21 percent because the market price for natural gas has nearly quadrupled in the past year. The company is filing for increased gas cost recovery rates with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. It's sister company, The Union Light, Heat and Power Co., is filing a similar request with the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Both distribution companies are part of Cinergy Corp., whose other operating company is PSI Energy Inc., based in Plainfield, Ind. Together they serve more than 1.4 million eleCtricity customers and 478,000 gas customers in Ohio, Kentucky and lndi:ina. : If the requests are granted, the new rates would be effective jan. 1, Cinergy said. : An Ohio residen(ial customer using 25,000 cubic feet of gas a 1)1onth would be charged $41.65 more than the rate in effect Vee. 1, the utility 5aid. The bill for a Kentucky r~sidential cus·(Omer using the same amount would go up $45.25. ,:. "We have seen a 90 percent increase in the wellhead price of !)atural gas in the last 30 days," said LC. Randolph, vice president of gas operations. "This increase has been fueled by a colder. than l!ormal Novembl.'r and ·early December that has increased the demand for natural gas." Cinergy said its weather data showed that temperatures in the Cincinnati area were 19 percent colder than a year ago. · "The continued increases in the demand for natural gas will push prices higher and will result in an increase in the explo!ation and production of natural gas," Randolph said. "However, ~he price for natural gas is likely to remain high for the foresee~ble future as production catches up with demand."

Court mling costing county juvenile courts TOLEDO (AP) A littlenoticed Ohio Supreme Court ruling rhat forces juvenile courts to provide free lawyers for poor parents is costing counties hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees. County administrators say the Supreme Court overstepped its authority in the decision two yem ago. It broadened the appointment o( lawyers for those who can't afford one to include not just those facing jail time or opposed by the state, but also those fighting over child support and custody in Juvenile Court. Recipients of court-appointed counsel in Juvenile Court are often unmarried parents, and they would not be given lawyers if they were married parents fighting the same battles in other state courts that hear.family disputes. "It's a different type of marriage penalty," H ardin County Juvenile Court Judge James R.app said. "It makes absolutely no sense." State lawmakers are expected to take up the issue qext year. It is impossible to say how much the ruling has cost counties. In the year that followed, spending on court-appointed attorneys in juvenile courts increased greatly in Ohio's five biggest counties. But other facrors, such as higher lawyer fees or heavier caseloads, could figure in. In Cuyahoga County. paymenl5 jumped from $526,000 in 1998 to $809,000 last year. Franklin County saw a similar lncrease although the only available figures include spending in domestic relations courts. In some cases, the courts are forced to appoinr three or even four lawyers if the parents are divorced and grandparents are involved. The County Commissioners Association of Ohio calls the costs an unfunded mandate. John Leut2, a lobbyist for the group, said the st.1te is supposed to pay half of each county's cost for court-appointed attorney~. However. over the last eight years the state has only covered 44 percent of those costs - shortchanging [he counties $26.4 nllllio~, Lcutz said. And now with the Supreme Court's ruling, he said those costs are even higher and place "an additional and substantial burden on the counties." The association is pushing for a law that would take away the requirement to appoint counsel in juvenile court cases involving child support and custody questions. Rep. Tony Core, R-Rushylvania, plans to reintroduce a bill that the Legislature didn't get to this year. Bill Weisenberg, a lobbyist with the Ohio State Bar Association, said any attemplli to thwart the Supreme Court's ruling should move slowly. . "The question involved here is really actess to justice," he said. "It shouldn't depend on what court you're in as to when (OUnsd should be appointed." While there are cases where an attorney isn't ne<ded, a child custody shouldn't be one of them, Weisenberg said. "Put yourself in that si[ua[ion. What kind of resources would you want?" he said. "Can you think of anything more traumatic than losing your child'" Job cuts being considered at Youngstown private prison YOUNGSTOWN (AP) The financiaUy troubled operator of the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center is ,considering making staffing cuts at its facilities. NashviUe,Tenn. -based Corrections Corporation of America plans·,to finish evaluating the private prison and its 66 other facilities by mid-December to determine where cui> will be needed, spokeswoman Susan Hart said. No decisions are expected before January, she said. The Youngstown prison, which has about 500 workers, is among 20 percent of the company's most financially troubled facilities. "If changes ' can be made, hopefully the situation would be different and Youngstown would move off the top of the list of things for us to worry about," Hart told The Vindicator for a story Friday. CCA lost $25.3.7 million in its third quarter, which ended Sept. 30. An annual report released earlier this year said the company lost $62 million on revenues of $285 million in 1099. Mayor George Me Kelwy said the cmi1pany told him this week that it is losing millions of dollars a year in Youngstown because the prison is housing less than 1,000 pri-soners, well bdow iP; capacity of 2,000. Most of the prisoners come from Washington, D.C. McKelvey sa1d John Ferguson, CCA's president and chief executive officer, told him that the company must cut workers at the Youngstown facility or bring in about 1,000 inmates. McKelvey also said he was told that the Ohio prison might be the most threatened among CCA's facilities. A message seeking comment was left Friday at CCA's headquarters. The medium-security prison has an $11 million annual payroll and pays the city $250,000 a year in incon1e tax. "It's a bombshell;• McKelvey told the newspaper. "We're 111 a crisis si[Uation."

BUCKEYE BRIEFS utility seeking price hike CINCINNATI (AP) -The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co. said Friday it will seek regulatory approval to raise natural gas prices by about 21 percent because the market price for natural gas has nearly quadrupled in the past year. The company is filing for increased gas cost recovery rates with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. It's sister company, The Union Light, Heat and Power Co., is filing a similar request with the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Both distribution companies are part of Cinergy Corp., whose other operating company is PSI Energy Inc., based in Plainfield, Ind. Together they serve more than 1.4 million eleCtricity customers and 478,000 gas customers in Ohio, Kentucky and lndi:ina. : If the requests are granted, the new rates would be effective jan. 1, Cinergy said. : An Ohio residen(ial customer using 25,000 cubic feet of gas a 1)1onth would be charged $41.65 more than the rate in effect Vee. 1, the utility 5aid. The bill for a Kentucky r~sidential cus·(Omer using the same amount would go up $45.25. ,:. "We have seen a 90 percent increase in the wellhead price of !)atural gas in the last 30 days," said LC. Randolph, vice president of gas operations. "This increase has been fueled by a colder. than l!ormal Novembl.'r and ·early December that has increased the demand for natural gas." Cinergy said its weather data showed that temperatures in the Cincinnati area were 19 percent colder than a year ago. · "The continued increases in the demand for natural gas will push prices higher and will result in an increase in the explo!ation and production of natural gas," Randolph said. "However, ~he price for natural gas is likely to remain high for the foresee~ble future as production catches up with demand."

Court mling costing county juvenile courts TOLEDO (AP) A littlenoticed Ohio Supreme Court ruling rhat forces juvenile courts to provide free lawyers for poor parents is costing counties hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees. County administrators say the Supreme Court overstepped its authority in the decision two yem ago. It broadened the appointment o( lawyers for those who can't afford one to include not just those facing jail time or opposed by the state, but also those fighting over child support and custody in Juvenile Court. Recipients of court-appointed counsel in Juvenile Court are often unmarried parents, and they would not be given lawyers if they were married parents fighting the same battles in other state courts that hear.family disputes. "It's a different type of marriage penalty," H ardin County Juvenile Court Judge James R.app said. "It makes absolutely no sense." State lawmakers are expected to take up the issue qext year. It is impossible to say how much the ruling has cost counties. In the year that followed, spending on court-appointed attorneys in juvenile courts increased greatly in Ohio's five biggest counties. But other facrors, such as higher lawyer fees or heavier caseloads, could figure in. In Cuyahoga County. paymenl5 jumped from $526,000 in 1998 to $809,000 last year. Franklin County saw a similar lncrease although the only available figures include spending in domestic relations courts. In some cases, the courts are forced to appoinr three or even four lawyers if the parents are divorced and grandparents are involved. The County Commissioners Association of Ohio calls the costs an unfunded mandate. John Leut2, a lobbyist for the group, said the st.1te is supposed to pay half of each county's cost for court-appointed attorney~. However. over the last eight years the state has only covered 44 percent of those costs - shortchanging [he counties $26.4 nllllio~, Lcutz said. And now with the Supreme Court's ruling, he said those costs are even higher and place "an additional and substantial burden on the counties." The association is pushing for a law that would take away the requirement to appoint counsel in juvenile court cases involving child support and custody questions. Rep. Tony Core, R-Rushylvania, plans to reintroduce a bill that the Legislature didn't get to this year. Bill Weisenberg, a lobbyist with the Ohio State Bar Association, said any attemplli to thwart the Supreme Court's ruling should move slowly. . "The question involved here is really actess to justice," he said. "It shouldn't depend on what court you're in as to when (OUnsd should be appointed." While there are cases where an attorney isn't ne<ded, a child custody shouldn't be one of them, Weisenberg said. "Put yourself in that si[ua[ion. What kind of resources would you want?" he said. "Can you think of anything more traumatic than losing your child'" Job cuts being considered at Youngstown private prison YOUNGSTOWN (AP) The financiaUy troubled operator of the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center is ,considering making staffing cuts at its facilities. NashviUe,Tenn. -based Corrections Corporation of America plans·,to finish evaluating the private prison and its 66 other facilities by mid-December to determine where cui> will be needed, spokeswoman Susan Hart said. No decisions are expected before January, she said. The Youngstown prison, which has about 500 workers, is among 20 percent of the company's most financially troubled facilities. "If changes ' can be made, hopefully the situation would be different and Youngstown would move off the top of the list of things for us to worry about," Hart told The Vindicator for a story Friday. CCA lost $25.3.7 million in its third quarter, which ended Sept. 30. An annual report released earlier this year said the company lost $62 million on revenues of $285 million in 1099. Mayor George Me Kelwy said the cmi1pany told him this week that it is losing millions of dollars a year in Youngstown because the prison is housing less than 1,000 pri-soners, well bdow iP; capacity of 2,000. Most of the prisoners come from Washington, D.C. McKelvey sa1d John Ferguson, CCA's president and chief executive officer, told him that the company must cut workers at the Youngstown facility or bring in about 1,000 inmates. McKelvey also said he was told that the Ohio prison might be the most threatened among CCA's facilities. A message seeking comment was left Friday at CCA's headquarters. The medium-security prison has an $11 million annual payroll and pays the city $250,000 a year in incon1e tax. "It's a bombshell;• McKelvey told the newspaper. "We're 111 a crisis si[Uation."

They didn't know that, underneath the layers of dirt and paint , 1 there were fine details, such as leaves woven around the statue's feet.

''I'm amazed with the improvement. lt looks beautiful ," she said. Sister Mary Mi cha'el also was amazed by th~ transformation. ''She is just so beautiful. There is a sheen to her now.

HUNTINGTON (AI') Financial hardships faced by one of the state's largest cities has grown from a $1 million deficit to include another S2.lnullion in outstanding accounts . As of Nov. 17 , the city had $2.1 mill;on in accounts payable, according to a report from the city's Finance Division. "Some of the budgetary corrections, such as the refuse fee increase and the user fee, while they're going to help us, we won't feel more of that impact until later in the fiscal year," Finance Director Glenn White said Friday. "We're hoping that vendors will understand and bear with us until we get through this tough time." White said the city is paying its outstanding bills as money becomes available. In the meantime, priority debts will be paid first, he said. "We receive revenue on a quarterly basis, and a lot of other things happen on a monthly basis, and it doesn't always match with the revenue cycle," White said. As of June 30, the city had $22.3 h1illion in bonded debt, a'ccording to the Finance . Division. But the city's long-tern'. debt could grow by $2.5 million if City Council approves a parkmg ;evenue bond issue during its • next meeting Monday. There are two types of bonds - general obligation bonds and revenue bonds said Witter Hallan, executive direcior of the West Virginia Municipal Bond Commission. Gt.>neral obligation debt is paid from the city' s general fund. Revenue bonds are paid off with revenues generated by the project the bonds finonced.

Refurbishing transforms statue HUNTINGTON (AP) - Sisters at St. Mary's Convent knew years of weathering, acid rain and countless coats of paint had taken their toll on 'the convent's statue of the Blessed Mother. They didn't know that, underneath the layers of dirt and paint , 1 there were fine details, such as leaves woven around the statue's feet.

''I'm amazed with the improvement. lt looks beautiful ," she said. Sister Mary Mi cha'el also was amazed by th~ transformation. ''She is just so beautiful. There is a sheen to her now. It's absolutely wonderful," she said. The statue had stood in front of St. Mary's Hospital's original building from the I 920s to the 1960s, when it was nwved to the co nvent's rose garden. "When the statue came to me for repairs, l had to completely strip It down to the metal. l co uldn't tell you how many coats of paint it had on it," said Ri chard Guthrie. an employee of Neighborgall Construction who refurbished the statue.

HUNTINGTON (AI') Financial hardships faced by one of the state's largest cities has grown from a $1 million deficit to include another S2.lnullion in outstanding accounts . As of Nov. 17 , the city had $2.1 mill;on in accounts payable, according to a report from the city's Finance Division. "Some of the budgetary corrections, such as the refuse fee increase and the user fee, while they're going to help us, we won't feel more of that impact until later in the fiscal year," Finance Director Glenn White said Friday. "We're hoping that vendors will understand and bear with us until we get through this tough time." White said the city is paying its outstanding bills as money becomes available. In the meantime, priority debts will be paid first, he said. "We receive revenue on a quarterly basis, and a lot of other things happen on a monthly basis, and it doesn't always match with the revenue cycle," White said. As of June 30, the city had $22.3 h1illion in bonded debt, a'ccording to the Finance . Division. But the city's long-tern'. debt could grow by $2.5 million if City Council approves a parkmg ;evenue bond issue during its • next meeting Monday. There are two types of bonds - general obligation bonds and revenue bonds said Witter Hallan, executive direcior of the West Virginia Municipal Bond Commission. Gt.>neral obligation debt is paid from the city' s general fund. Revenue bonds are paid off with revenues generated by the project the bonds finonced.

Saunders, shelves lined with legal volumes and documents served as testimony to a still-busy career. Pomeroy attorney Bernard Fultz, an occasional legal opponent for Sheets, but more often hiS co-counsel, first met Sheets when they were students at Rio Grande in 1946. Their work together left Fultz with an appreciation of Sheets' attention to the law. ''Warren came up to Meigs • County when I was prosecutor and beat up on me," Fultz recalled.

My doctor says it's not too bad and hasn't done anything. My brother had similar numbers and his doctor started him on medication for high cholesterol. Who is right and Should I be co'\cerned? Joshua carter Howard !ANSWER - Although everyone is different, il sounds like your [brother's doctor is correcl. It is not uncommon at all to find patients that arc under treated or not being treated at all for abnormal cholesterol levels, even though this is now a well established risk factor for a heart attack of stroke. According to recent studies, approximately 90% of patients who regularty see a physician, are being under treated for abnormal cholesterol levels. This is quite discouraging, because we now know that if you get your cholesterol and LDL at, or below, established guidelines, you can significantly reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. There are at least 25 established risk factors for a heart attack or stroke and it sounds to me that you should be examinCd more completely to help reduce your risk.

My doctor says it's not too bad and hasn't done anything. My brother had similar numbers and his doctor started him on medication for high cholesterol. Who is right and Should I be co'\cerned? Joshua carter Howard !ANSWER - Although everyone is different, il sounds like your [brother's doctor is correcl. It is not uncommon at all to find patients that arc under treated or not being treated at all for abnormal cholesterol levels, even though this is now a well established risk factor for a heart attack of stroke. According to recent studies, approximately 90% of patients who regularty see a physician, are being under treated for abnormal cholesterol levels. This is quite discouraging, because we now know that if you get your cholesterol and LDL at, or below, established guidelines, you can significantly reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. There are at least 25 established risk factors for a heart attack or stroke and it sounds to me that you should be examinCd more completely to help reduce your risk.

Otherwise, get ready for disappoint~ ment. . This year not withstanding, Marshall is the top football program in the Mid- American Conference. The Herd enjoys a wide recruiting base and a national reputation based on its days in 1-AA. · I'm not quite sure what MAC officials were thinking when they invited Marshall to join th eir ranks; possibly that they were admitting a ni ce 1-AA program that would give the league another recognizable face in the region, or that the Herd would help fulfill the leagu e's desire co simply. expand its numbers. Well, what the MAC got was a solid IA program that desires to become a 1-A powerhouse. And now, it appears, they're not overly happy with it. Ohio's Jim Grobe, whose team is headed in the right direction, sent a clear warning to his MAC co mpadres when Marshall came up for consideration. "This is no patsy, fellas. We've invited the wolf into the sheep pen ." Or something like that. Marshall has given the MAC increased exposure it co uldn't have gotten from a Western Michigan or a Tol edo.

IOUTHEAITERN OHIO SATELLITE 240 Upper River Road Gallipolis, Ohio 740·446-8212. 800·366·&199 Despite success, Titans can't control Corey Dillon McNabb, Couch matchup must wait for now NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -The Tennessee Titans have a problem that ~an be diagnosed as "Corey Dil- lonitis." Every time they play the Cincinnati Be~gals, Dillon finds some way to leave the Titans feeling sick. Some of his best performances have come against Tennessee, with the Titans' lowest moment coming . in 1997 when he set the NFL rookie rushing record (thankfully ·erased ' last week by Denver's Mike Anderson). And when the Titans beat the Bengals 23-14 on Oct. 8, they held Cincinnati to just 213 yards offense - but Dillon managed to break loose for an SOyard touchdown, his longest this season. That's why the Titans (1 0-3) have Dillon on the brain as they prepare to play the Bengal< (3-10) on ' Sunday. · "Worry about Corey Diilon?He put up over 200 yards against us over two years ago and put up an NFL record a few weeks ago," defensive end Kenny Holmes said .. "He could win the game by himself. We have to have a serious fo~us." The Titans hold a one-game lead over the Balrimore Ravens (9-4) in the AFC Central and can clinch a playoff berth with a victory Sunday. That would mean their first back-to-back playoff appearance since 1992-93, bur thoughts of Dillon keep filling their heads. "That's basically it right now," Titans end Jevon Kearse s:~id. "We have to look at what's in front of us now. That's stopping them from running rhe ball, make them pass and go tee off on a less mobile quarterback." There's the rub for Cincinnati. Thanks to Dillon, the Bengals feature · the NFL's best rushing offense. Dillon already has set a team record with 1,278 yards this season, and ·the ·Bengals are averaging 157.4 yards per game. But the passing attack, with second-year qua<terback Akili Smith and veteran Scott Mitchell, is the league's worst. They are next to last in points scored, and only three other teams have turned the ball over more than the Bengals. They have given up 42 sacks, and the Tennessee defense leads the AFC with 45. Mitchell is starting his third game since coach Dick LeBeau benched Smith, and he expects to throw quite a bit because the NFL's second-ranked defense will be fixated on Dillon. Mitchell was just 11-of-23 for 106 yards in last week's 24-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, while Dillon ran for 216 yards. "But when we do get into a situation where we need to throw the bail, I feel very capable of being able to do that, and I expect that to happen rhis week;' Mitchell said. The Titans are coming off a 15-13 road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The defending AFC champions hope that will star< them rolling back to MAIN MAN - Corey Dillon (shown against Denver) has troubled the Titans since jOining the Bengals.(AP) the Super Bowl. "We're not necessarily trying to repeat \vhat we did last year, other than we want to win the remaining ball games, and we'd hke to do that in a convincing fashion," Titans coaGh Jeff Fisher said. Their biggest focus is fine-tuning the offense. They rank third in the NFL in time of possession, and nobody starts drive~ with better field position. Yet for the past seven quarters, they haven't scored a touchdown. That has been the big topic this week. "We've told the offense the red zone now extends the entire field, not just the 20-yard line;· Fisher said. Quarterback Steve McNair is questionable with a sprained left ankle and knee, and whether he plays will be decided before kickoff. The receiving corps is healthier than in two months, with Yancey Thigpen and Carl Pickens back in the rotation. Eddi~ George needs just 31 yards rushing for his own piece of NFL history. He would join Eric Dickerson as the only players to rush for at least 1 ,200 yards in each of his first five seasons. With Dillon on their side and a hisrory of wmning in December, the Bengals don't want to consider themselves spoilers. They aren't ready to roll over and pby dead just yet. "It's important to us to finish the season the right way and kind of get some momentum , something to look forward to next year," Mitchell said. BROWNS NOTEBOOK • •· ' CLEVELAND {AP) -They were once No. 1 and No.2, the first two players selected in the 1999 NFL draft. Since then, the pecking order has reversed for Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb. So have their fortunes. While Couch has missed most of his second season as quarterback of rhe Cleveland Browns with a broken thumb, McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from making the playoffs for the first time since 1996. That victory will likely come Sunday when the Eagles (9-5), 14-point favorites, visit the Browns (3 - 11). who can hardly wait for their disappointing and injury-riddled season to end. "You know how when you're driving on 'E' and you're worried about running out of g.1s before you get to the sta tion ," said Browns cor nerba ck Corey Fullt>r. "'I think we ~an make it to the station. We know the finish t@ the season is right around the co rner." McNabb has had Philadelphia on cruise control 3nd is the single biggest reason the Eagles have turned it around after going 5-11 in '99. "We all know in the NFL it's an up-and-down situation," said McNabb, who has accounted for 7 4 percent of the Eagles' net yards on offense." ''You may be on top one year and the next year fall a little bit." McNabb's coml)lents apply for teams and quarterbacks. Unlike Couch, who spent his rookie season learning on the fly along with the rest of the expansion Browns, McNabb · was groomed slowly by the Eagles. He began the season as" Doug Pederson 's understudy, watching from the si deline before taking over as the starter in Wee k 10. All M cNabb has done in his second season is lead the Eagles to nine 'Yins, passed f9r 2,777 yards Jnd 16 TDs and rushed for 597 yards and six scores. " He's unbelievable," said Browns coach Chris Palmer. "He's a highlight show every time you turn on the film." McNabb has been grouped .along with Pittsburgh's Kardell Stewart, Minn esota's Daunte Culpepper and Tampa Bay's Shaun King as part of rhe NFL's new wave of quuterbacks so-so passers who may be more dangerous when they run with the ball. McNabb, rhough , dismisses the idea that hc·s om:-dimcnsional. "Watch the film,',. he said when asked what he would tell critics who say he's simp ly a running quarterback. Palmer said McNabb, one of five QBs taken in the first round, was on the Browns' short list as they prc:pucd for the '99 draft . Howeva, when it came down choos ing the finalists, Palmer was looking for a pure, drop-back passer. McNabb said he never looked at not bemg taken by the Browns as the N o. I overall pick as a slight. ''Maybe . they liked Tim Couch," he said. McNabb said the rime he spent. on the sideline was an invaluable teaching tool, and that once the Eagles were turned over to him for good he knew what to expect. "It prepared me for all rhe blitzes that I may be fJcing and the way teams want to atta ck the quarterback,' ' he said. "I got a good feel of all that, and once I was able to get out there a couple times I was able to get . adjusted to the speed of the ga1ne." Couch, through no faulr of his own, h<ld his development slowed to a crawl during Ius second season. After struggling through training camp, Couch had seemingly hit . his stride! and began the seasor1 by throwing five TD. passes in the ,first three g:.mes as the Browns got off to a shocking 2-1 >tart. H e threw e1ght 1ntcn:epnuns in his next four games. and had his season ended when he fractured his right thumb on the final play of practice on Oct. 19. Couch was following through on a pass when his hand crashed into lincb:~ c ker Ryan Taylor's arm. The · Browns ' season crashe dthat day, too. • "When \\te losr Couch. w~ went right down lhc tubes.',. Palmer said. After surgery, Couch mdden~ : ly found himself in the sa m~ position McNabb was 111 b~~ v-ear .1s a cht·erle3dL·r and stu- ~knt. ~: " I w.mted to be om there. playing as soo n as I could and · learn o n the run ," s.:lld Couth. · who will start throwing Jg<un · in three w~cks.

Quarterback situation just gets worse BEREA, Ohio {AI') A third Browns quartcrb:~ck went out for the season Friday as Cleveland pbced rookie Spergon Wynn on injured reserve and signed former Atlanra QB Temy Graziani as a backup. The latest round of quarterblck shuffling by the Browns tnt'ans the team will ·have a backup Sunday against Phibdelphia \vho got his first peek at the Browr.s playbook on Thursday. ··I can run the plays," Graziani said. "It's just a matter of getting out the proper verbiage in th~ huddle." . The latest moves also leave Wide receiver Kevin Johnson out Of the quarterbacking picture. A College QB at Syracuse, Johnson had been forced into the Browns No. 2 quarterbacking slot because of injuries. No NFL team this season has endured the kind of bad breaks at quarterback the Browns have suffered. Franchise player Tim Couch broke his thumb in practice on Oct. 19, about six weeks after his veteran back up and friend Ty Detmer torn an Achilles' tendon and went out for the year. The desperate Browns then turned to Doug Pedersor. who Your best prep sports coverage... was cut by the Eagles earlier this year and brought in to take D!!tmer's plac~ in Septl'mber. Pederson, 1-6 as a starter for the Browns, suffered bruised ribs in Cleveland's 44-7 loss ro B,Jrimort' two weeks ago but will start Sunday. Wynn started against Jacksonville last week but sprain~d his• left knee as the Jaguars roll[·ed the Browns, 48-0. Browns coach Chris Palmer said the team checked with a few otht.!r players but settled on Graziani as a backup because of "availability. We were on the clock. We couldn't dilly-dally." If he gets into the Eagles game, Graziani will wear a cheat sheet of Browns plays on hi s wrist. The Urowns fa xed about 00 pbys to Gr:tziani ar hi s home in Palm Springs, Calif., un Thursday. "I was ·wishing for a white Christmas but I didn't think it was going to happen," Grniani said. Graziani played for Oregon,in collt."ge and W;ls drafted in the seventh round ill 1997 by Atlanta. He has played in IR games and started five, with onl' victory. In his NFL career, he has completed 85 of 174 passes for 999 yards with two TDs and eight interceptions.

IOUTHEAITERN OHIO SATELLITE 240 Upper River Road Gallipolis, Ohio 740·446-8212. 800·366·&199 Despite success, Titans can't control Corey Dillon McNabb, Couch matchup must wait for now NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -The Tennessee Titans have a problem that ~an be diagnosed as "Corey Dil- lonitis." Every time they play the Cincinnati Be~gals, Dillon finds some way to leave the Titans feeling sick. Some of his best performances have come against Tennessee, with the Titans' lowest moment coming . in 1997 when he set the NFL rookie rushing record (thankfully ·erased ' last week by Denver's Mike Anderson). And when the Titans beat the Bengals 23-14 on Oct. 8, they held Cincinnati to just 213 yards offense - but Dillon managed to break loose for an SOyard touchdown, his longest this season. That's why the Titans (1 0-3) have Dillon on the brain as they prepare to play the Bengal< (3-10) on ' Sunday. · "Worry about Corey Diilon?He put up over 200 yards against us over two years ago and put up an NFL record a few weeks ago," defensive end Kenny Holmes said .. "He could win the game by himself. We have to have a serious fo~us." The Titans hold a one-game lead over the Balrimore Ravens (9-4) in the AFC Central and can clinch a playoff berth with a victory Sunday. That would mean their first back-to-back playoff appearance since 1992-93, bur thoughts of Dillon keep filling their heads. "That's basically it right now," Titans end Jevon Kearse s:~id. "We have to look at what's in front of us now. That's stopping them from running rhe ball, make them pass and go tee off on a less mobile quarterback." There's the rub for Cincinnati. Thanks to Dillon, the Bengals feature · the NFL's best rushing offense. Dillon already has set a team record with 1,278 yards this season, and ·the ·Bengals are averaging 157.4 yards per game. But the passing attack, with second-year qua<terback Akili Smith and veteran Scott Mitchell, is the league's worst. They are next to last in points scored, and only three other teams have turned the ball over more than the Bengals. They have given up 42 sacks, and the Tennessee defense leads the AFC with 45. Mitchell is starting his third game since coach Dick LeBeau benched Smith, and he expects to throw quite a bit because the NFL's second-ranked defense will be fixated on Dillon. Mitchell was just 11-of-23 for 106 yards in last week's 24-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, while Dillon ran for 216 yards. "But when we do get into a situation where we need to throw the bail, I feel very capable of being able to do that, and I expect that to happen rhis week;' Mitchell said. The Titans are coming off a 15-13 road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The defending AFC champions hope that will star< them rolling back to MAIN MAN - Corey Dillon (shown against Denver) has troubled the Titans since jOining the Bengals.(AP) the Super Bowl. "We're not necessarily trying to repeat \vhat we did last year, other than we want to win the remaining ball games, and we'd hke to do that in a convincing fashion," Titans coaGh Jeff Fisher said. Their biggest focus is fine-tuning the offense. They rank third in the NFL in time of possession, and nobody starts drive~ with better field position. Yet for the past seven quarters, they haven't scored a touchdown. That has been the big topic this week. "We've told the offense the red zone now extends the entire field, not just the 20-yard line;· Fisher said. Quarterback Steve McNair is questionable with a sprained left ankle and knee, and whether he plays will be decided before kickoff. The receiving corps is healthier than in two months, with Yancey Thigpen and Carl Pickens back in the rotation. Eddi~ George needs just 31 yards rushing for his own piece of NFL history. He would join Eric Dickerson as the only players to rush for at least 1 ,200 yards in each of his first five seasons. With Dillon on their side and a hisrory of wmning in December, the Bengals don't want to consider themselves spoilers. They aren't ready to roll over and pby dead just yet. "It's important to us to finish the season the right way and kind of get some momentum , something to look forward to next year," Mitchell said. BROWNS NOTEBOOK • •· ' CLEVELAND {AP) -They were once No. 1 and No.2, the first two players selected in the 1999 NFL draft. Since then, the pecking order has reversed for Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb. So have their fortunes. While Couch has missed most of his second season as quarterback of rhe Cleveland Browns with a broken thumb, McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from making the playoffs for the first time since 1996. That victory will likely come Sunday when the Eagles (9-5), 14-point favorites, visit the Browns (3 - 11). who can hardly wait for their disappointing and injury-riddled season to end. "You know how when you're driving on 'E' and you're worried about running out of g.1s before you get to the sta tion ," said Browns cor nerba ck Corey Fullt>r. "'I think we ~an make it to the station. We know the finish t@ the season is right around the co rner." McNabb has had Philadelphia on cruise control 3nd is the single biggest reason the Eagles have turned it around after going 5-11 in '99. "We all know in the NFL it's an up-and-down situation," said McNabb, who has accounted for 7 4 percent of the Eagles' net yards on offense." ''You may be on top one year and the next year fall a little bit." McNabb's coml)lents apply for teams and quarterbacks. Unlike Couch, who spent his rookie season learning on the fly along with the rest of the expansion Browns, McNabb · was groomed slowly by the Eagles. He began the season as" Doug Pederson 's understudy, watching from the si deline before taking over as the starter in Wee k 10. All M cNabb has done in his second season is lead the Eagles to nine 'Yins, passed f9r 2,777 yards Jnd 16 TDs and rushed for 597 yards and six scores. " He's unbelievable," said Browns coach Chris Palmer. "He's a highlight show every time you turn on the film." McNabb has been grouped .along with Pittsburgh's Kardell Stewart, Minn esota's Daunte Culpepper and Tampa Bay's Shaun King as part of rhe NFL's new wave of quuterbacks so-so passers who may be more dangerous when they run with the ball. McNabb, rhough , dismisses the idea that hc·s om:-dimcnsional. "Watch the film,',. he said when asked what he would tell critics who say he's simp ly a running quarterback. Palmer said McNabb, one of five QBs taken in the first round, was on the Browns' short list as they prc:pucd for the '99 draft . Howeva, when it came down choos ing the finalists, Palmer was looking for a pure, drop-back passer. McNabb said he never looked at not bemg taken by the Browns as the N o. I overall pick as a slight. ''Maybe . they liked Tim Couch," he said. McNabb said the rime he spent. on the sideline was an invaluable teaching tool, and that once the Eagles were turned over to him for good he knew what to expect. "It prepared me for all rhe blitzes that I may be fJcing and the way teams want to atta ck the quarterback,' ' he said. "I got a good feel of all that, and once I was able to get out there a couple times I was able to get . adjusted to the speed of the ga1ne." Couch, through no faulr of his own, h<ld his development slowed to a crawl during Ius second season. After struggling through training camp, Couch had seemingly hit . his stride! and began the seasor1 by throwing five TD. passes in the ,first three g:.mes as the Browns got off to a shocking 2-1 >tart. H e threw e1ght 1ntcn:epnuns in his next four games. and had his season ended when he fractured his right thumb on the final play of practice on Oct. 19. Couch was following through on a pass when his hand crashed into lincb:~ c ker Ryan Taylor's arm. The · Browns ' season crashe dthat day, too. • "When \\te losr Couch. w~ went right down lhc tubes.',. Palmer said. After surgery, Couch mdden~ : ly found himself in the sa m~ position McNabb was 111 b~~ v-ear .1s a cht·erle3dL·r and stu- ~knt. ~: " I w.mted to be om there. playing as soo n as I could and · learn o n the run ," s.:lld Couth. · who will start throwing Jg<un · in three w~cks.

Quarterback situation just gets worse BEREA, Ohio {AI') A third Browns quartcrb:~ck went out for the season Friday as Cleveland pbced rookie Spergon Wynn on injured reserve and signed former Atlanra QB Temy Graziani as a backup. The latest round of quarterblck shuffling by the Browns tnt'ans the team will ·have a backup Sunday against Phibdelphia \vho got his first peek at the Browr.s playbook on Thursday. ··I can run the plays," Graziani said. "It's just a matter of getting out the proper verbiage in th~ huddle." . The latest moves also leave Wide receiver Kevin Johnson out Of the quarterbacking picture. A College QB at Syracuse, Johnson had been forced into the Browns No. 2 quarterbacking slot because of injuries. No NFL team this season has endured the kind of bad breaks at quarterback the Browns have suffered. Franchise player Tim Couch broke his thumb in practice on Oct. 19, about six weeks after his veteran back up and friend Ty Detmer torn an Achilles' tendon and went out for the year. The desperate Browns then turned to Doug Pedersor. who Your best prep sports coverage... was cut by the Eagles earlier this year and brought in to take D!!tmer's plac~ in Septl'mber. Pederson, 1-6 as a starter for the Browns, suffered bruised ribs in Cleveland's 44-7 loss ro B,Jrimort' two weeks ago but will start Sunday. Wynn started against Jacksonville last week but sprain~d his• left knee as the Jaguars roll[·ed the Browns, 48-0. Browns coach Chris Palmer said the team checked with a few otht.!r players but settled on Graziani as a backup because of "availability. We were on the clock. We couldn't dilly-dally." If he gets into the Eagles game, Graziani will wear a cheat sheet of Browns plays on hi s wrist. The Urowns fa xed about 00 pbys to Gr:tziani ar hi s home in Palm Springs, Calif., un Thursday. "I was ·wishing for a white Christmas but I didn't think it was going to happen," Grniani said. Graziani played for Oregon,in collt."ge and W;ls drafted in the seventh round ill 1997 by Atlanta. He has played in IR games and started five, with onl' victory. In his NFL career, he has completed 85 of 174 passes for 999 yards with two TDs and eight interceptions.

If a meak-eniling 5-2 win over Anaheim on Wednesday didn't .erase a lot of the funk, then Friday night's dramatic 32 victory over Boston certainly did. Geoff Sanderson scored with 8.6 seconds remaining to give Columbus 1ts first overtime victory Such a sweer memory will go a long w•y toward pushing >Side the ugly remmders of the two-week skid. "The guys fed really good putting together two really good wins at home after playing so poorly for a couple of weeks." Sanderson said after his teambest ninth goal oi the season. "It's just a confide nce builder for us.We worked out of a real deep hole and got oursdves going 111 the oth.er direction now." Sanderson swooped in from the left wing and cut across the slot, whippmg a backhander ·past defenseman Hal Gill .

"It was in the back of our minds and we wanted to do well in front of ·our fans before we left for the road. Getting four points out of four is • good way to do that." Frantisek Kucera picked up the I DOth point of h1s career on the game-winner. Lyle Odelein also assisted. The game featured a physical first period, a wide-open second period and a defensive struggle the rest of the way. Referees Tom Kowal and Dennis LaRue whistled 40 penalty minutes m the first period, but only a .second-period tripping infraction against Boston's Patrick Traverse was called the rest of the way. " I got a !itt:lc hot there, but rhen I came in and watched the tape between periods and there were some pretty good calls," K.mg said. Denis didn't give up a goal during the last 40:28. Skudra was almost as good. stopping 3 I shots. "They played hard the last 45 minutes," Boston coach Mike Keenan said of the Blue Jackets." [ think our goaltcnding was spectacular.

Frantisek Kucera picked up the I DOth point of h1s career on the game-winner. Lyle Odelein also assisted. The game featured a physical first period, a wide-open second period and a defensive struggle the rest of the way. Referees Tom Kowal and Dennis LaRue whistled 40 penalty minutes m the first period, but only a .second-period tripping infraction against Boston's Patrick Traverse was called the rest of the way. " I got a !itt:lc hot there, but rhen I came in and watched the tape between periods and there were some pretty good calls," K.mg said. Denis didn't give up a goal during the last 40:28.

We've received application forms for Wildlife Food Plot Materials from the ODNR Division of Wildlife here at the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District office. The Division of Wildlife offe" free seed to landowners for planting food plots. Applications for seed will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis umil the current year's supply is exhausted. The supply is limited and varies annually. Food plots play an important role in · wildhfe management for agricultural areas where fall plowing is common or when waste grain .is adjacent to adequate wintl!r cover. Most species of farmland wildlife will not travel far from winter food during periods of inclement weather. A good winter food source is also beneficial in other areas of Ohm where few crops are planted. Wildlife food plots are also valuable t<> hunters who want to make their property more attractive to game animals. This year's offering . is a mixture of sunflower, sorghum, millet and buckwheat.

The packets need to be planted in fertile ground that has been sufficiently tilled to allow for good seed-to-soil contact.

The Division ofWildlitc also offers the following rcconimendations: plant one acre of food plot seed per 20 acres of h:tbitat; add a minimum of 200 pounds of fertilizer ( 12-12-12 or similar) per acre of food plot; make each plot at least one quarter of an acre in size; larger food plots of up to five acres are generally preferred; plant next to good winter cove r. · Applications for food plot materials are available for Meigs County residents here at the Mngs SWCD office at 33!0 1 •• rial disease. feeders.

This disease is caused by a mold that can form on old seed that has gotten damp. That's why it's a good idea to dispose of any seed that gets wet or moldy. Each of these diseases can spread where large numbers of birds gather. So it behooves all who provide food and water w wild birds to do so responsibly. Always obey the f1rst rule of wildlife watching do no harm. And if you find a sick bird, don't try to capture it. Instead, report them to the state wildlife agency.

Because mosquitoes carry this disease, it can be transmitted to humans through a mosquito bite. The elderjy and people with weak immune ·systems are particularly at risk.

People reporting more dead birds.in backyards CLARKSBURG, WVa. - If you've ever seen a sick bird in your backyard or found a dead one that was not a victim of a window collision, you're not alone. Increasingly, people are reporting dead birds in their backyards. Perhaps its because feeding birds has become such a • popular pastime - more that 60 million Americans participate. Maybe we are seeing more sick or dead birds simply because more people are watching. One the other hand, there are several bird diseases that can be transmitted anywhere birds gather, including backyard feeding stations. Minimize this problem by taking a little extra time · to keep feeders and feeding areas clean. House fmch disease is a bacterial infection 1 comn1on an1ong domestic fowl, that causes con. junctivitis in house finches . The eyes weep, become encrusted and often swell shlll .Though the infection is not fatal, it takes about I 0 days to run its course. Most mfected birds die of starvation or surcun1b to predators. Though most other species seem resistant to house fmch disease, a few cases have been reported · in goldfinches a_nd downy woodpeckers. It is spread by direct bird to bird contact or when a healthy bird touches an object contaminated by a sick one. Obviously, bird feeders are ideal places for this disease to spread. • Salmonellosis is another harte- .:; sunday, December 10, 2000 ~an Francisco Giants, hts third ~tint with the team . : People like things big in Texas '.and Hampton's deal is the biggest :ln baseball·, topping Ken Griffey ;r.'s S116.5. million, nine-year ~on tract with Cincinnati.lt is the ~ongest contract for a pitcher ~ince Wayne Garland signed a :1 0-year deal with Cleveland in J977. ; After leading the New York jV!ets to the World Series , Hamp~on agreed to go to what thus far has proved to be a graveyard for pitchers: Coors Field, \vhere 1 ' 51 7 home runs have been hit in .

Darryl Kile, who si!llJed with Colorado as a free agent after the 1997 season, left after two years with the Rockies, going 21-30 with a 5.84 ERA. But the Rockies, fighting a downturn on the field and at the box office, are determined to compete in the NL West, where they finished fourth with an 8280 record. Earlier in the week, the Rockies signed Denny Neagle for $51 .5 million , over five years . Colorado now has three of the 19 high est co.ntra cts in baseball, including Larry Walker $75 million, six-year deal. Hampton 's average annual salary of $15,125,000 becomes the first- or second-highest among pitchers, depending on how Roger Clemens' contract $30.9 million extension with the New York Yankees is evaluated. Clemens considers it a twoyear deal averaging $15.45 million, while the Yankees consider it a three-year contract averaging $10:3 million. Hampton, a 28-year-old leftbander, has a 6.88 career ERA at Coors Field. The contract includes a $20 · million signing ' bonus,$ 1 million if which goes to charity and $19 million deferred and payable in the 10 years after the contract expires. St. Louis had been the other finalist to sign Hampton, and Atlanta, Texas and the Chicago Cubs were interested. Mets general manager Steve Phillips said all interested teams · offered $100 million or more. Because of the deferred money, the average salary, in present- day dollars, is just under $14 million, accordmg to several baseball management officials. " It didn't come down to the last dollar," Phillips saal. "All the clubs were close enough. It ca me down ro other issues , like thl' chance to win and quality of life for 1m family."

The supply is limited and varies annually. Food plots play an important role in · wildhfe management for agricultural areas where fall plowing is common or when waste grain .is adjacent to adequate wintl!r cover. Most species of farmland wildlife will not travel far from winter food during periods of inclement weather. A good winter food source is also beneficial in other areas of Ohm where few crops are planted. Wildlife food plots are also valuable t<> hunters who want to make their property more attractive to game animals. This year's offering . is a mixture of sunflower, sorghum, millet and buckwheat. It comes in seven-pound bags, with each packet planting about a quarter of an acre. The packets need to be planted in fertile ground that has been sufficiently tilled to allow for good seed-to-soil contact. All plots shou ld be fertilized and should be seeded prior to June 15 for best results. The Division ofWildlitc also offers the following rcconimendations: plant one acre of food plot seed per 20 acres of h:tbitat; add a minimum of 200 pounds of fertilizer ( 12-12-12 or similar) per acre of food plot; make each plot at least one quarter of an acre in size; larger food plots of up to five acres are generally preferred; plant next to good winter cove r. · Applications for food plot materials are available for Meigs County residents here at the Mngs SWCD office at 33!0 1 •• rial disease. feeders.

This disease is caused by a mold that can form on old seed that has gotten damp. That's why it's a good idea to dispose of any seed that gets wet or moldy. Each of these diseases can spread where large numbers of birds gather. So it behooves all who provide food and water w wild birds to do so responsibly. Always obey the f1rst rule of wildlife watching do no harm. And if you find a sick bird, don't try to capture it. Instead, report them to the state wildlife agency.

People reporting more dead birds.in backyards CLARKSBURG, WVa. - If you've ever seen a sick bird in your backyard or found a dead one that was not a victim of a window collision, you're not alone. Increasingly, people are reporting dead birds in their backyards. Perhaps its because feeding birds has become such a • popular pastime - more that 60 million Americans participate. Maybe we are seeing more sick or dead birds simply because more people are watching. One the other hand, there are several bird diseases that can be transmitted anywhere birds gather, including backyard feeding stations. Minimize this problem by taking a little extra time · to keep feeders and feeding areas clean. House fmch disease is a bacterial infection 1 comn1on an1ong domestic fowl, that causes con. junctivitis in house finches . The eyes weep, become encrusted and often swell shlll .Though the infection is not fatal, it takes about I 0 days to run its course. Most mfected birds die of starvation or surcun1b to predators. Though most other species seem resistant to house fmch disease, a few cases have been reported · in goldfinches a_nd downy woodpeckers. It is spread by direct bird to bird contact or when a healthy bird touches an object contaminated by a sick one. Obviously, bird feeders are ideal places for this disease to spread. • Salmonellosis is another harte- .:; sunday, December 10, 2000 ~an Francisco Giants, hts third ~tint with the team . : People like things big in Texas '.and Hampton's deal is the biggest :ln baseball·, topping Ken Griffey ;r.'s S116.5. million, nine-year ~on tract with Cincinnati.lt is the ~ongest contract for a pitcher ~ince Wayne Garland signed a :1 0-year deal with Cleveland in J977. ; After leading the New York jV!ets to the World Series , Hamp~on agreed to go to what thus far has proved to be a graveyard for pitchers: Coors Field, \vhere 1 ' 51 7 home runs have been hit in . I • 4i7 games during six seasons, an average of 3.18. Darryl Kile, who si!llJed with Colorado as a free agent after the 1997 season, left after two years with the Rockies, going 21-30 with a 5.84 ERA. But the Rockies, fighting a downturn on the field and at the box office, are determined to compete in the NL West, where they finished fourth with an 8280 record. Earlier in the week, the Rockies signed Denny Neagle for $51 .5 million , over five years . Colorado now has three of the 19 high est co.ntra cts in baseball, including Larry Walker $75 million, six-year deal. Hampton 's average annual salary of $15,125,000 becomes the first- or second-highest among pitchers, depending on how Roger Clemens' contract $30.9 million extension with the New York Yankees is evaluated. Clemens considers it a twoyear deal averaging $15.45 million, while the Yankees consider it a three-year contract averaging $10:3 million. Hampton, a 28-year-old leftbander, has a 6.88 career ERA at Coors Field. The contract includes a $20 · million signing ' bonus,$ 1 million if which goes to charity and $19 million deferred and payable in the 10 years after the contract expires. St. Louis had been the other finalist to sign Hampton, and Atlanta, Texas and the Chicago Cubs were interested. Mets general manager Steve Phillips said all interested teams · offered $100 million or more. Because of the deferred money, the average salary, in present- day dollars, is just under $14 million, accordmg to several baseball management officials. " It didn't come down to the last dollar," Phillips saal. "All the clubs were close enough. It ca me down ro other issues , like thl' chance to win and quality of life for 1m family." Rodriguez's deal lS e~pected to top Hampton's . His agent, Scott Boras, had scheduled several meetings. He has been negotiating with eight teams, including his former club, the Seattle Mariners. "We have not gotten down to the decision-111aking process yet," Boras said. Ramirez's agent, Jeff Moorad, was in Califorma, talking with Boston general manager Dan Duquette.

You're a I hoot! Mother, daughter cope with brittle bone disease BY KRII DemoN TIMES.SENTINEL STAFF ALLIPOLIS- Child abuse is a serious subject. If confirmed, a child can be taken away from his family. But how can you be sure? And is it possible to have a child with· numerous bruises and fractures that is not abused? If they have Osteogenesis lmperfec~ (01) or better known as Brittle Bone Disease, then it's unfortu~ately easy to mistake. 01 is a genetically.based skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally brittle bones and an estimated 50,000 people in the U.S. live with it. Two, Reda and Annamarie Smith, live here in Gallia County. There are.five different types of OI.'I'ype I is the most severe and is possessed by babies that never make it through the birthing process. Their broken bones happen in utero and usually puncture internal organs which causes the baby's demise. The second type is characterized by the persons being very short in stature with a large barrel chest, enlarged head, and deformities of their limbs. Most afflicted with Type II OJ can't walk because of bowing and fractures in their legs. People with Type III and IV 01 are short in stature, but they don't have the physical deformities but are very petite in appearance . Most of the Ols cause the white around a person's eyes to turn blue, a condition called scierae. This condition is ofi:en an 'obvious indicator of the disease. An interesting but unexplainable side note is 'that the blue becomes deeper in color when a person is. more fragile. "I always keep a close watch over Anna's eyes and when she bruises more easily I know she's going through a fragile cycle;' said Smith. Some of the symptoms associated with 01 are cyclical in nature but there isn't a medical explanation for this. "Out of the 30 fractures that Anna has experienced, all but two occurred in July, August, December and January;' said Smith. "Mothers will get to know their children's cycles of susceptibi.lity." .

You're a I hoot! Mother, daughter cope with brittle bone disease BY KRII DemoN TIMES.SENTINEL STAFF ALLIPOLIS- Child abuse is a serious subject. If confirmed, a child can be taken away from his family. But how can you be sure? And is it possible to have a child with· numerous bruises and fractures that is not abused? If they have Osteogenesis lmperfec~ (01) or better known as Brittle Bone Disease, then it's unfortu~ately easy to mistake. 01 is a genetically.based skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally brittle bones and an estimated 50,000 people in the U.S. live with it. Two, Reda and Annamarie Smith, live here in Gallia County. There are.five different types of OI.'I'ype I is the most severe and is possessed by babies that never make it through the birthing process. Their broken bones happen in utero and usually puncture internal organs which causes the baby's demise. The second type is characterized by the persons being very short in stature with a large barrel chest, enlarged head, and deformities of their limbs. Most afflicted with Type II OJ can't walk because of bowing and fractures in their legs. People with Type III and IV 01 are short in stature, but they don't have the physical deformities but are very petite in appearance . Most of the Ols cause the white around a person's eyes to turn blue, a condition called scierae. This condition is ofi:en an 'obvious indicator of the disease. An interesting but unexplainable side note is 'that the blue becomes deeper in color when a person is. more fragile. "I always keep a close watch over Anna's eyes and when she bruises more easily I know she's going through a fragile cycle;' said Smith. Some of the symptoms associated with 01 are cyclical in nature but there isn't a medical explanation for this. "Out of the 30 fractures that Anna has experienced, all but two occurred in July, August, December and January;' said Smith. "Mothers will get to know their children's cycles of susceptibi.lity." .

Snrith said that 01 is a family disease because it effects the whole family's lifestyle. "Ricky (Reda's husband) calls Anna and me his China doUs;' she said. "01 really brings families together. "Those affiicted are usually upbeat and positive, which makes them easy to be around and to support. "Anna is unstoppable." The Snriths also have twO sons, Ricky, 14, and Eddie 13. Snrith s.id each boy has their own role to play when an injury occurs. "Eddie stays with Anna, strokes her hair and calms her while Ricky gets the box of splints and the phone," s.id Mom. Anna was 2 \veeks old when she was tested for 01 but broke her leg before the test came back.· "I was placing her in the car seat and her leg broke," described Smith. · "She gave our what they call an 01 scream but then went to sleep. " But every time I touched the leg she cried out so I called the doctor in tears terrified they would accuse me of child abuse." Children with 01 often have multiple fractures, in different . stages of healing and severe bruising that are found by physicians. When they question the parents and the parents can't account for every bruise and fracture, child abuse is commonly brought into question. "A child can break a bone JUSt by JUmping off the couch playing or wrestling with siblings and have a hairline fracture and not even know it;' said Smith. One terrifying story Smith shired was of a Thanksgiving W<'ekend in northeastern Ohio when Anna, at 16 months, had broken her leg. The ER physicians couldn't find it so therefore, wouldn't admit her. The Smiths, knowing hairline fractures W<'re sometimes hard to locate, that Anna had 01 and obviously something was wrong with their daughter, refused to leave. Anna screamed, as mother, daughter and gnndmother waited in a stonge room for eight hours until, because of emotional distress and exhaustion, Ann•'• breathi"ng became labnred. Suffice it to s.y, Anna was now getting the attention she deserved. She was taken to Children's Hospital in Akron in a raging snow storm, where they immediately found the fracrure (fiom the original X-rays), put her in a cast and the ordeal, now 24 hours in the nuking, was over. "If a hiker fell in the woods and didn't get treatment for 24 hours it would make the headlines, but here my baby laid 'in' a hospital and didn't recdve treatment for 24 hours and they were willing to , S\Veep it. under the rug," said an exasperated Smith.

There was · an incident in December of I 906 that might have called for Father Meyer's "Episcopal Army" to be callc•d out. An argument erupted at the Riverview Hotel between Dr. Riley, a traveling profcssoi of phrenology who came here to swdy the patients at the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics (now GDC) and Dr. Lighthall, a tm·eling medicine man. At Christmas day dinner in the hotel, Lighthall told Riley that hypnotism was a fake . Riley, who used the t:~.rt in the treatment of nwntally ill pat1ents, took gre!Jt offense at this assertion . Riley promised to meet Lighthall uptown where he said he would hypnotize Lighthall. place him in a casket and have him delivered to his room in the Riverview Hotel. Lighthall took some offense at this statement and leaped tor R1ley. The twp were separated and sent b~ck t9 their respective rooms withou,t their Christmas dinner. "In recent years, the investigational use of bisphosphonates to treat children and adults with 01 has rec~ived increasing att.ention fiom the medical research conununity, parents of children with Ql and adults who have 01;• according to Breakthrough Magazine, JulyI August 2000. "The 01 Foundation is cautiously optimistiG that bisphosphonate therapy represents a significant possibility as a non-curative treatment for 01 and is encounging further research to study bnth short- and long-term effects. H~ does it work? According to the s.me Breakthrough article, "there are two main cell groups in the bone. The osteoblast<, which make bnne and the osteoclasiS that break down the bone (bone resorption) . "Current knowledge suggests that bisphosphonates sl~v down the process of bone resorption by shortening the life of the osteocl1Sts and prolonging the life of the osteoblasts, thus tilting the balance towards the production of bone. "Because , the prolonged osteoblast still produces mutant collagen, the person with 01 is still maldng '01 bOne' but resorbing less of it. "Early treatment srudies have reported ari increase in bone densitY, an increase in cortical bone width, a decrease in cortical bone porosity, and reduction in bone pain." Pamidronare is the form of bisphosphonate that Anna has and soon Reda will take. Pamidronare is given by a slow intravenous infusion over three to four hours during a one-tO-three consecutive day stay in the hospital. In November of 1998, Anna's doctor at Children's Hospital sug-gested she have this treatment because of the increase and severity of her fractures. Anna's first treatment was in January 2000 in Columbus at Children's and it was to be repeated every three months. She will also have annual bone density tests to determine if the treatment is bringing the density into the normal range. "I've known the Smiths for quire rome time now," said Joanne Elliott, RN, Bureau for Children with Medical Handicaps through the Gallia County Health Department. "Anna was in my program with children with handicaps. "When Reda called and informed me of the new treatment Anna was undergoing, it dawned on me the · terrible inconvenience it must be for the whole family to have to spend three days in Columbus. "So, I set my mind to find a way to bring it to Gallipolis for them." Elliott enlisted the help of Holzer Clinic's pediatric nurse, Betty Nehus, and Dr. Jon M . Sullivan, . and between the three of them and a close relationship between· Holzer and Children's in Columbus, they all were able to work together to bring the treatment to Anna locally .

Snrith said that 01 is a family disease because it effects the whole family's lifestyle. "Ricky (Reda's husband) calls Anna and me his China doUs;' she said. "01 really brings families together. "Those affiicted are usually upbeat and positive, which makes them easy to be around and to support. "Anna is unstoppable." The Snriths also have twO sons, Ricky, 14, and Eddie 13. Snrith s.id each boy has their own role to play when an injury occurs. "Eddie stays with Anna, strokes her hair and calms her while Ricky gets the box of splints and the phone," s.id Mom. Anna was 2 \veeks old when she was tested for 01 but broke her leg before the test came back.· "I was placing her in the car seat and her leg broke," described Smith. · "She gave our what they call an 01 scream but then went to sleep. " But every time I touched the leg she cried out so I called the doctor in tears terrified they would accuse me of child abuse." Children with 01 often have multiple fractures, in different . stages of healing and severe bruising that are found by physicians. When they question the parents and the parents can't account for every bruise and fracture, child abuse is commonly brought into question. "A child can break a bone JUSt by JUmping off the couch playing or wrestling with siblings and have a hairline fracture and not even know it;' said Smith. One terrifying story Smith shired was of a Thanksgiving W<'ekend in northeastern Ohio when Anna, at 16 months, had broken her leg. The ER physicians couldn't find it so therefore, wouldn't admit her. The Smiths, knowing hairline fractures W<'re sometimes hard to locate, that Anna had 01 and obviously something was wrong with their daughter, refused to leave. Anna screamed, as mother, daughter and gnndmother waited in a stonge room for eight hours until, because of emotional distress and exhaustion, Ann•'• breathi"ng became labnred. Suffice it to s.y, Anna was now getting the attention she deserved. She was taken to Children's Hospital in Akron in a raging snow storm, where they immediately found the fracrure (fiom the original X-rays), put her in a cast and the ordeal, now 24 hours in the nuking, was over. "If a hiker fell in the woods and didn't get treatment for 24 hours it would make the headlines, but here my baby laid 'in' a hospital and didn't recdve treatment for 24 hours and they were willing to , S\Veep it. under the rug," said an exasperated Smith.

There was · an incident in December of I 906 that might have called for Father Meyer's "Episcopal Army" to be callc•d out. An argument erupted at the Riverview Hotel between Dr. Riley, a traveling profcssoi of phrenology who came here to swdy the patients at the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics (now GDC) and Dr. Lighthall, a tm·eling medicine man. At Christmas day dinner in the hotel, Lighthall told Riley that hypnotism was a fake . Riley, who used the t:~.rt in the treatment of nwntally ill pat1ents, took gre!Jt offense at this assertion . Riley promised to meet Lighthall uptown where he said he would hypnotize Lighthall. place him in a casket and have him delivered to his room in the Riverview Hotel. Lighthall took some offense at this statement and leaped tor R1ley. The twp were separated and sent b~ck t9 their respective rooms withou,t their Christmas dinner. "In recent years, the investigational use of bisphosphonates to treat children and adults with 01 has rec~ived increasing att.ention fiom the medical research conununity, parents of children with Ql and adults who have 01;• according to Breakthrough Magazine, JulyI August 2000. "The 01 Foundation is cautiously optimistiG that bisphosphonate therapy represents a significant possibility as a non-curative treatment for 01 and is encounging further research to study bnth short- and long-term effects. H~ does it work? According to the s.me Breakthrough article, "there are two main cell groups in the bone. The osteoblast<, which make bnne and the osteoclasiS that break down the bone (bone resorption) . "Current knowledge suggests that bisphosphonates sl~v down the process of bone resorption by shortening the life of the osteocl1Sts and prolonging the life of the osteoblasts, thus tilting the balance towards the production of bone. "Because , the prolonged osteoblast still produces mutant collagen, the person with 01 is still maldng '01 bOne' but resorbing less of it. "Early treatment srudies have reported ari increase in bone densitY, an increase in cortical bone width, a decrease in cortical bone porosity, and reduction in bone pain." Pamidronare is the form of bisphosphonate that Anna has and soon Reda will take. Pamidronare is given by a slow intravenous infusion over three to four hours during a one-tO-three consecutive day stay in the hospital. In November of 1998, Anna's doctor at Children's Hospital sug-gested she have this treatment because of the increase and severity of her fractures. Anna's first treatment was in January 2000 in Columbus at Children's and it was to be repeated every three months. She will also have annual bone density tests to determine if the treatment is bringing the density into the normal range. "I've known the Smiths for quire rome time now," said Joanne Elliott, RN, Bureau for Children with Medical Handicaps through the Gallia County Health Department. "Anna was in my program with children with handicaps. "When Reda called and informed me of the new treatment Anna was undergoing, it dawned on me the · terrible inconvenience it must be for the whole family to have to spend three days in Columbus. "So, I set my mind to find a way to bring it to Gallipolis for them." Elliott enlisted the help of Holzer Clinic's pediatric nurse, Betty Nehus, and Dr. Jon M . Sullivan, . and between the three of them and a close relationship between· Holzer and Children's in Columbus, they all were able to work together to bring the treatment to Anna locally . 'To get specialized treatment in this area of the country can be difficult;' said Elliott. "Holzer really stepped up to the plate m bring this nc.w treatment to this wonderful child."

Millie Duncan, owner and proprietor of the restaurant, began her foray into the culinary business more tilan 10 years ago by establishing a licensed bakery inside her home and selling various baked goods to the general public. Duncan's master.y in the kitchen was quite evident by the bakery's inunediate success. Through Word-of-mouth, her baked goods became the talk of the town. "My bakery was becoming so well-known throughout the community and I didn't even have to put a sign out;' said Duncan, as she greeted yet another crowd of customers into her restaurant, eager to sample the rib-sticking , food that they have heard so much about. "I reaDy didn't think much about it at the time," addc>d Duncan. "I waS just so pleased that people were enjoying what I was baking." However, it was when Duncan's children, who 'were attending Bradbury Elementary at the time, began bringing their friends home for lunch, that the concept of a full-blown restaurant became visibly apparent.

Pllp Dl ·Program set Monday for sheep production GALLIPOLIS Producers still have time to RSVP for an important nutrition program designed for sheep and goat producers. The program is scheduled for Monday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the C. H. McKenzie Agricultural Center in Gallipolis. Dr. Francis Fluharty, ruminant nutnt10nist from OARDC, Wooster Branch, will be the guest speaker. Because a very iligh percentage of animal health problems are a result of poor nutrition, the main topic of discussion will be "Feedmg for Health Maintenance." The program will include nutritional topics that greatly influen ce the general health of sheep and goats. Such topics include copper toxicity, and also copper defi ciency. Sheep producers are justified in feeding su pplements with low or no copper .to prevent copper toxicity. However, copper deficiencies can occur in areas where the soils are deficient in copper, such 'as in so uth ern Ohio. Dr. Fluharty w:ill cover both areas of concern and suggest approp riate · management practices. Also on the agenda for Monday, is the control of coccidiosis in lambs. A tough problem for sheep and goat producers, coccidia is an intestinal parasite for which tilere are few treatment and prevention options. · FinaUy, Dr. Fluharty will cover rumen function as well as nutrition for lategestation and ketosis prevention. Ketosis, also known as pregnancy. toxenlia, can occur when pregnant ewes and does sJdden- I Jennifer Byrnes GUEST VIEW ly need extra energy to meet the demands of fast growing lambs or kids. When these energy demands rise quickly and are not. met through proper nutrition, ewes and does will break down fat reserves rapidly, ca using the animal to become weakened, depressed and have little muscl e . control. Seventy percent of fetal growth occurs in the last few weeks of gestation, making this a critical time for energy requirem ents. As always , this program is open to the public and all sheep. and goat producers are encouraged to attend and welcome to bring a friend .

The scooter -has pumped new life into the suburban Dayton-based company, which expects to sell .more than 1.6 million Micro brand scooters this year. Huffy posted record third-quarter earnings of$5.2 million, compared with $25.6 million in losses in the comparable period of 1999. "We've got a major, world-cbss turnaround from last year," said Chris Snyder, president of Huffy's bicycle diviSlon.

Ga. (AP) Jerald Carter struggled to keep his peanuts and cotton alive during the summer drought. Now that those c rops_ are almost harvested, he has another concern: Will his land receive enough rain to genninate \~tinter wheat seed? It's extremely dry from southwestern Virginia to eastern Louisiana, forcing producers to feed cattle the hay they wotdd normally use during the coldest winter months and hindering the planting of winter wheat. "The pastures are in bad shape," said Becky Walton, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. "They're feeding their hay now and South Carolina is a hay-deficit state. When we have a shortage - \vhen it doesn't rain and we don't get the growing season we needthey have to use what they have stored for Winter." Winter wheat is a relatively minor crop in the South, compared with tobacco, peanuts and cotton. Eighteen states, mostly in the West and Midwest, proauced the bulk of rhe crap · last year. The leading Sou.thern states \vere Texas, with 6.2 million acres, North Carolina, with 650,000 acres and Tennessee with 500,000 acres. Southern farmers are expected to devote about II million acres to the crop this war, Including. 8.5 million acres in Texas, 720,000 acres in North Carolina and 580,000 ac.res in Ten nessl'e. · The National Agricultural Statistics Service reports th,lt (ain has held up plaming in Texas and low moisture has $tressed the crop in North Carolina. Carter a1~d other Georgia farmers arc expected to phnt 250,000 acres of winter wheat, worth between $30 million and $40 million . Carter has a plastic rain gauge mounted to a fence post near his office in a weathered, 75-year-old farm house with three rocking chairs on the front porch. His 2,000-acre farm is located near a southwestern Georgia community called Anderson City, about I 0 miles south of Sylvester. Farmers gather at Carter's Grocery, built by his father in 1947, ro sip coffee and char. Scattered showers this month have brought a little relief in Georgia .

If you have to water it, you're backing up," said Jerald Carter, who has irrigation, but is reluctant to use it because it inereases production Miss.- and moved production to Asia and Mexico. The move cost the jobs of 600 workers. In November 1999. Huffy's stock fell 36 percent in value one day after the company announced it had defaulted on _$ 79 million in loans.

After sales of the Micro began to take otT. this year, Huffy stock soared from less than $4 per share in mid-June to nearly $14 in late August. It has since cooled off a bit, trading at about $9.

(AP) - The steady stream of trucks heading mto the former Western Ware- bouse either n:pn·seiHS the trip into the futun: of burley tobacco marketing or its road to ruin . lmtead of farmers dropping their crops off for the annual auction that begins Monday, these growers are fulfilling their contracts with Philip Morris USA., growing burley to order for the largest c1garent" manufacturer in the world.

Tommy Bale knows both sides of the argument. He owns Western sold his own tobacco ro Philip Morris under contract this year. "Everybody should experiment with it and see if it's good and go on," Bale said. Michael A.

Some of the Carters' ponds ran dry during the · summer, · leaving 120 acres of cotton and 160 acres of peanuts to wither in the Jntense heat and sun- shine. The Carters had to plow those crops under. Joel Carter, who has been farming six years, said low commodity prices and the drought have made him question his choice of occupations. "It's the driest year we've ever had," he said. "You work so hard and at the end of the year there's nothing. You have to question what · you're doing."

"Now IS the planting time ," Lee s:iid. "We· certainly could u~e sumc improved weather." The recommended planting dates are between Nov. 15 and 20.Thc Carters will start planting Monday. Wheat is especially popular w1th farmers who practict conservation tillage, also known as limircd-tili farming . They harvest the wheat or kill it with herbicides in the spring and plant cotton or peanuts in the stubble. Instead of plowing the field, they use a tool that makes a small groove in the soil, just large enough for the seed. ult increases organic matter, helps with erosion and increases the water holding capacity of the soil," said Scott Monfort, an extension agent in Worth County, where the Carter's live.

I NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks spiked dramatically this past week after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan suggested an mrerest rate cut might be a possibility early next year. They also advanced whenever Florida court rulings pointed to a possibiJ resolution of rhe . presidential election deadlock. But some of the best news for the market might boil down to the performance of one stock. - Intel. The bellwether technology company warned late Thursday of disappointing' fourth-quarter results in an announcement reminiscent of irs third-quarter projections, which triggered a massive "tech selloff. But this time, there was lirde ""reaction. The chip maker's stock price .barely . moved at aU in after-hours trading .and ·: advanced on Friday. Other technology stocks also showed little response, including Compaq Computer, which actually ·edged up Friday after it warned oflower; than-expected revenues. The market was more interested in _employment numbers. Stocks surged Fri- day morning after a Labor Department "'Port showed a drop in the number of jobs created during November and that the unemployment rate edged higherproof the economy is moderating and another reason for the Fed ro cur int~resr rates. Intel wasn't the only high-tech stock to warn and be ignored. Motorola and Compaq also lowered their forecasts with litde or no damage to their stock prices. The lack of negative reaction on Wall Street was noteworthy because just two days earlier, the market flopped after Apple Computer and Bank of America issued bleak forecasts of their own. Brian Belski, a fundamental market strategist with U.S. Bancorp Piper )affray, said the muted response to Intel reflects the fact that stocks were already valued at prices that took into account the effect moderating economic growth would have on earnings. "Intel holding steady is a very, very clear sign that the market has already dis- . counted ihe earnings problems and has · digested a lot rhetoric associated with all· those bad earnings stories," Belski said. Tlu• cilip maker's stock price barely moved at all ill aftulr'fnm trading and ad1•a11ced Ofl Friday. Other technology stocks also showed little respouse, i ududing Compaq Conrputtr, which actllally edged up Friday after it warned of lower-thanexpected Yt!felllleS. The implication: After eight months of gut-wrenching declines on the stock marker, the excesses may finally have been squeezed out of overpriced equities.The market correction that dominated 2000 may finally be coming to an end. Wall Street also got some good news this past week as Fed chairman Greenspan suggested an interest rate cut was possible next year. _ Two of the key dra{l' on corporate earnin{l' - high oil prices and a weak euro, Europe's chief currency - also have eased in recent weeks. ' 'Fann scene: Southem cattle and ~dairy producers scram~le for hay • ' I ; ALB(\NY, Ga. (AP) - Dairyman Robert Green :usually trucks alfalfa in from Idaho to give his 275 ;cows a healthy winter diet, but a drought has made :high-quality hay harder to get and more expensive. : Green, owner of Green Valley Farms in Meansville, :Ga., about 60 miles south ofAtlanta,said his usual sup!plier didn't·have enough, so he has had to look else:where. : "I talked to four of five others and rounded up !three sellers in Kansas;' Green said. ''All of them tell • :me they don't have enough to supply me, but all of •them together may have enough." _ Hay is made from grass that is cut and baled. When ;pastures are too wet or dry, the grass doesn't grow as weD. Ideally, a portion of a dairy cow's diet should :include alfalfa- the Dom Periginon o(fodder. Cows :Can eat other types of hay and silage, a feed made from 'ground corn, but it's alfalfa that keeps them contentled, healthy and productive. : Beef cattle and horses need hay too, but their nurriItional requirements are not as critical. •• With drought conditions in the South and West . , >and unusually wet weather in Ohio and Pennsylvania ' <Over the summer, hay producers are expected to harVest-approximately 9.4 million acres of alfalfa this year,•\!own from 9. 7 million acres in 1999.

Even with contracting, only farmers .,;ho- have a marketing quota can sell tobacco. And th·e tobacco quota program has been rocked, with the amount of leaf that ·can be sold cut by nearly three-fourths in the last two yeais because of declining demand . Quotas, or allotments, allow fanners to sell a set amount ofburley. The quota system was cn:ated mon: than six decades ago and attached to the land. The quot~s may be leased to others to grow and sell the tobacco. z~-~~~ ' 'I eReal Buy Sell tinue growing at this rapid pace. lt could be argued that there is still a lot more to come," Leibowitz said. Huffy accounted for about half of the 50,000 scooters sold in the U.S. market in 1999. Snyder said he expects there to be 5 million scooters sold this year and that one-third of them will be Huffy's. Exuberant about contributing to his company's comeback, he said, "It's like catching lightning in a bottle." Sundlly, December 10,2000 With the supply tighter, alfalfa prices jumped in October from $83.90 to $87.20 per ton. The price of other hay declined slighdy from $68.50 to $67.80 per ron, according ro Morgan Consulting Group Ltd., which tracks the commodity. The climate in the deep South is not suitable for alfalfa, so dairy farmers traditionally import it from the West. Beef cattle producers usually get enough hay from the coastal Bermuda grass that grows in their pastures, bur this year there's a shortage of that as well. Some Southern states, including · Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, have set up Internet sites to connect suppliers with buyers. Alabama Agticulrure Connnissioner Charles Bishop formed a task force in June that delivered 2 million bales· io 1,700 farmers .in 31 drought-parched counties. Without'the bay lift during Alabama's worse drought in 60 years, dairy and beef producers would have had to sell 100,000 head of cattle, agriculture department spokesman Ralph Holmes said. The drought gready reduced hay production in Georgia. Instead of the usual four or five curtin{l', producers got only one or two, officials say. Georgia's cattle and milk producers are concerned they might run out this winter, especially if the season is unusually cold, so they're scrambling to round up all they can. All that news has the investment commuruty feeling a lot better. "In one week's time, what we've learned ·is that oil can fall below $30 a barrel, the political morass over the presidency could soon come to an end, the Fed is concerned and ready to act and some stocks, like Motorola and Intel, have stopped falling on bad news;' said Tom Galvin, chief investment officer at Credit Suisse. First Boston. "The sum total of which tells us we have tested our lows and are in early stages of recovery." But even if the correction is nearing an end, the question remains: How close or far away is a sustainable rally? Greenspan's comments Tuesday set off a big rally, bur Wall Street gave back SOli)< of the gains the next day on earnings warmngs. Still, analysts said not to read too much into the market's retreat - and don 't get carried away by good news. "I don 't think stocks are going to be flying from here on out," said Gary Kaltbaum, a technical analyst with JW Genesis.

Last spring, he gambled again, planting much of his fa'rm near Brady in high-quality malting barley, only to see it wither in the powder-dry soil and be sold instead as cheaper livestock feed.

"We've counted on tobacco to support our families for generations. Now it's forcing the next generation off the farm." Kuegel said a proposal unveiled last month by Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton is a good starting point for considering a buyout. The $16 billion mandatory plan would pay quota owners $1 for every pound of burley or fluecured tobacco the farmers were allowed to seD this year. It would be paid over a 20-year period, but the quota. system would end immedutely, said John-Mark Hack, director of Patton's office of agricultural policy. The tobacco program, which has been around since the 1930s, woulcl be replaced by a new one in which only those who grow tobacco - and not those who lease our their quota - would be allowed to raise the crop. Tobacco farmers who want to stay in the business would get production licenses. Bur , unlike quotas, the licenses could not be bought and sold with farm land. New tobacco farmers could get licenses as olcler growers retire. At least a thii·d of thL' cumnt tobacco q111Jta i1 held by nonl;l'tlWCrl whn lon1o it to mhcr tbrmer!, ilmll'llin~ to Hnelc.

But with the amount of tobacco he can grow under the program drastically reduced, Gilbert s:Ud he and other farmers would _welcome the opportunity to get our of the business. . uwe've had a terrific cut in our quotas;' said Gilbert, who farms near Berea, Ky. "I'm two years . older, and if they come up with some type of basic quota buyout program I'd be very interested." ; Tobacco quotas are allotments that dictate how much leaf U.S. farmers seD each year based on cigarette ; p!anufacturers' purchasing intentions and unsold leaf . from earlier years. Gilbert says his quota of burley tobacco, used in most · cigarettes, dropped from 10,000 pounds in 1997 to 3,500 pounds this year. "Our quotas have been decreased so much it's really not profitable to bother with it anymore," Gilbert said. : Increasing imports of cheaper lllreign tobacco and declining cigai:ette sales are largely ro blame. · Bur a buyout program in which burley and flue-cured tobacco farmen wmtld receive payments in exchange for the quc\,tn they own could Joun become nv:tilnbl~. l'Niidcnt Clinton la1t month · ord~Nd n cmnh1i11mn b~ ~Nntcd to mtdy th~ pll11ht of lcnf l!l'lliWrl wltlu111t hlcNnilnllllllllklnl!· C::lln· tllll wnntl a pt'llllmlnnry l'llptlrt by thv ~nil of th• )'\lnr.

The bottom line is we want to increase .the c ompetitiv~ncss of domestic tobacco in a glob al mar- ket." But even. Canners who support a buyout are worried about that part of the plan. American · lea f growers acknowledge their tobacco is expensive, but they note thattheir labor costs are higher than in other countries. They also say a freemarket system would force -small farms out of business. · and leave only large ones that are efficient enough to compete. That would be a problem in Appalachia, where farmers are dependent on the lu crative crop but have less acreage than in other robaccocgrowing areas, said Perry Dykes, ·a farmer and direcror of the Agriculture Department's Farm Service Agency for Washington and Unicoi counties in East Tennessee. "In killing the tobacco program, you'd kill the backbone of what's left -in agriculmre in' . the Appalachians," Dykes sa id . H e added that the cash brought in by tobacco enables farmers in East Tennessee to fund other agricultural activities.

Huffy posted record third-quarter earnings of$5.2 million, compared with $25.6 million in losses in the comparable period of 1999. "We've got a major, world-cbss turnaround from last year," said Chris Snyder, president of Huffy's bicycle diviSlon.

Ga. (AP) Jerald Carter struggled to keep his peanuts and cotton alive during the summer drought. Now that those c rops_ are almost harvested, he has another concern: Will his land receive enough rain to genninate \~tinter wheat seed? It's extremely dry from southwestern Virginia to eastern Louisiana, forcing producers to feed cattle the hay they wotdd normally use during the coldest winter months and hindering the planting of winter wheat. "The pastures are in bad shape," said Becky Walton, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. "They're feeding their hay now and South Carolina is a hay-deficit state. When we have a shortage - \vhen it doesn't rain and we don't get the growing season we needthey have to use what they have stored for Winter." Winter wheat is a relatively minor crop in the South, compared with tobacco, peanuts and cotton. Eighteen states, mostly in the West and Midwest, proauced the bulk of rhe crap · last year. The leading Sou.thern states \vere Texas, with 6.2 million acres, North Carolina, with 650,000 acres and Tennessee with 500,000 acres. Southern farmers are expected to devote about II million acres to the crop this war, Including. 8.5 million acres in Texas, 720,000 acres in North Carolina and 580,000 ac.res in Ten nessl'e. · The National Agricultural Statistics Service reports th,lt (ain has held up plaming in Texas and low moisture has $tressed the crop in North Carolina. Carter a1~d other Georgia farmers arc expected to phnt 250,000 acres of winter wheat, worth between $30 million and $40 million . Carter has a plastic rain gauge mounted to a fence post near his office in a weathered, 75-year-old farm house with three rocking chairs on the front porch. His 2,000-acre farm is located near a southwestern Georgia community called Anderson City, about I 0 miles south of Sylvester. Farmers gather at Carter's Grocery, built by his father in 1947, ro sip coffee and char. Scattered showers this month have brought a little relief in Georgia .

Joel, grow winter wheat to protect their land from wind and soil erosion. They reap a small profit from it in the spring, when few other crops are mature. "There's not much money in it to begin with. If you have to water it, you're backing up," said Jerald Carter, who has irrigation, but is reluctant to use it because it inereases production Miss.- and moved production to Asia and Mexico. The move cost the jobs of 600 workers. In November 1999. Huffy's stock fell 36 percent in value one day after the company announced it had defaulted on _$ 79 million in loans. The company later secured S175 million in financing from seven lenders. After sales of the Micro began to take otT. this year, Huffy stock soared from less than $4 per share in mid-June to nearly $14 in late August. It has since cooled off a bit, trading at about $9.

(AP) - The steady stream of trucks heading mto the former Western Ware- bouse either n:pn·seiHS the trip into the futun: of burley tobacco marketing or its road to ruin . lmtead of farmers dropping their crops off for the annual auction that begins Monday, these growers are fulfilling their contracts with Philip Morris USA., growing burley to order for the largest c1garent" manufacturer in the world. Supporters of the experiment say contract growing provides some semblance of stability in an uncertain marker. Others fear it will lead to the end of the quota and price mpport programs that have made burley irreplaceable as a cash crop for farmers in the eight Southern states when: it is grown . Tommy Bale knows both sides of the argument. He owns Western sold his own tobacco ro Philip Morris under contract this year. "Everybody should experiment with it and see if it's good and go on," Bale said. Michael A.

Some of the Carters' ponds ran dry during the · summer, · leaving 120 acres of cotton and 160 acres of peanuts to wither in the Jntense heat and sun- shine. The Carters had to plow those crops under. Joel Carter, who has been farming six years, said low commodity prices and the drought have made him question his choice of occupations. "It's the driest year we've ever had," he said. "You work so hard and at the end of the year there's nothing. You have to question what · you're doing." Dewey Lee, a University of Georgia grain agronomist, said higher fuel prices and low commodity prices probably will 1111;!'311 fewer acres of wheat in Georgia . "Now IS the planting time ," Lee s:iid. "We· certainly could u~e sumc improved weather." The recommended planting dates are between Nov. 15 and 20.Thc Carters will start planting Monday. Wheat is especially popular w1th farmers who practict conservation tillage, also known as limircd-tili farming . They harvest the wheat or kill it with herbicides in the spring and plant cotton or peanuts in the stubble. Instead of plowing the field, they use a tool that makes a small groove in the soil, just large enough for the seed. ult increases organic matter, helps with erosion and increases the water holding capacity of the soil," said Scott Monfort, an extension agent in Worth County, where the Carter's live. "It saves time and trips across the field."

I NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks spiked dramatically this past week after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan suggested an mrerest rate cut might be a possibility early next year. They also advanced whenever Florida court rulings pointed to a possibiJ resolution of rhe . presidential election deadlock. But some of the best news for the market might boil down to the performance of one stock. - Intel. The bellwether technology company warned late Thursday of disappointing' fourth-quarter results in an announcement reminiscent of irs third-quarter projections, which triggered a massive "tech selloff. But this time, there was lirde ""reaction. The chip maker's stock price .barely . moved at aU in after-hours trading .and ·: advanced on Friday. Other technology stocks also showed little response, including Compaq Computer, which actually ·edged up Friday after it warned oflower; than-expected revenues. The market was more interested in _employment numbers. Stocks surged Fri- day morning after a Labor Department "'Port showed a drop in the number of jobs created during November and that the unemployment rate edged higherproof the economy is moderating and another reason for the Fed ro cur int~resr rates. Intel wasn't the only high-tech stock to warn and be ignored. Motorola and Compaq also lowered their forecasts with litde or no damage to their stock prices. The lack of negative reaction on Wall Street was noteworthy because just two days earlier, the market flopped after Apple Computer and Bank of America issued bleak forecasts of their own. Brian Belski, a fundamental market strategist with U.S. Bancorp Piper )affray, said the muted response to Intel reflects the fact that stocks were already valued at prices that took into account the effect moderating economic growth would have on earnings. "Intel holding steady is a very, very clear sign that the market has already dis- . counted ihe earnings problems and has · digested a lot rhetoric associated with all· those bad earnings stories," Belski said. Tlu• cilip maker's stock price barely moved at all ill aftulr'fnm trading and ad1•a11ced Ofl Friday. Other technology stocks also showed little respouse, i ududing Compaq Conrputtr, which actllally edged up Friday after it warned of lower-thanexpected Yt!felllleS. The implication: After eight months of gut-wrenching declines on the stock marker, the excesses may finally have been squeezed out of overpriced equities.The market correction that dominated 2000 may finally be coming to an end. Wall Street also got some good news this past week as Fed chairman Greenspan suggested an interest rate cut was possible next year. _ Two of the key dra{l' on corporate earnin{l' - high oil prices and a weak euro, Europe's chief currency - also have eased in recent weeks. ' 'Fann scene: Southem cattle and ~dairy producers scram~le for hay • ' I ; ALB(\NY, Ga. (AP) - Dairyman Robert Green :usually trucks alfalfa in from Idaho to give his 275 ;cows a healthy winter diet, but a drought has made :high-quality hay harder to get and more expensive. : Green, owner of Green Valley Farms in Meansville, :Ga., about 60 miles south ofAtlanta,said his usual sup!plier didn't·have enough, so he has had to look else:where. : "I talked to four of five others and rounded up !three sellers in Kansas;' Green said. ''All of them tell • :me they don't have enough to supply me, but all of •them together may have enough." _ Hay is made from grass that is cut and baled. When ;pastures are too wet or dry, the grass doesn't grow as weD. Ideally, a portion of a dairy cow's diet should :include alfalfa- the Dom Periginon o(fodder. Cows :Can eat other types of hay and silage, a feed made from 'ground corn, but it's alfalfa that keeps them contentled, healthy and productive. : Beef cattle and horses need hay too, but their nurriItional requirements are not as critical. •• With drought conditions in the South and West . , >and unusually wet weather in Ohio and Pennsylvania ' <Over the summer, hay producers are expected to harVest-approximately 9.4 million acres of alfalfa this year,•\!own from 9. 7 million acres in 1999.

Even with contracting, only farmers .,;ho- have a marketing quota can sell tobacco. And th·e tobacco quota program has been rocked, with the amount of leaf that ·can be sold cut by nearly three-fourths in the last two yeais because of declining demand . Quotas, or allotments, allow fanners to sell a set amount ofburley. The quota system was cn:ated mon: than six decades ago and attached to the land. The quot~s may be leased to others to grow and sell the tobacco. z~-~~~ ' 'I eReal Buy Sell tinue growing at this rapid pace. lt could be argued that there is still a lot more to come," Leibowitz said. Huffy accounted for about half of the 50,000 scooters sold in the U.S. market in 1999. Snyder said he expects there to be 5 million scooters sold this year and that one-third of them will be Huffy's. Exuberant about contributing to his company's comeback, he said, "It's like catching lightning in a bottle." Sundlly, December 10,2000 With the supply tighter, alfalfa prices jumped in October from $83.90 to $87.20 per ton. The price of other hay declined slighdy from $68.50 to $67.80 per ron, according ro Morgan Consulting Group Ltd., which tracks the commodity. The climate in the deep South is not suitable for alfalfa, so dairy farmers traditionally import it from the West. Beef cattle producers usually get enough hay from the coastal Bermuda grass that grows in their pastures, bur this year there's a shortage of that as well. Some Southern states, including · Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, have set up Internet sites to connect suppliers with buyers. Alabama Agticulrure Connnissioner Charles Bishop formed a task force in June that delivered 2 million bales· io 1,700 farmers .in 31 drought-parched counties. Without'the bay lift during Alabama's worse drought in 60 years, dairy and beef producers would have had to sell 100,000 head of cattle, agriculture department spokesman Ralph Holmes said. The drought gready reduced hay production in Georgia. Instead of the usual four or five curtin{l', producers got only one or two, officials say. Georgia's cattle and milk producers are concerned they might run out this winter, especially if the season is unusually cold, so they're scrambling to round up all they can. All that news has the investment commuruty feeling a lot better. "In one week's time, what we've learned ·is that oil can fall below $30 a barrel, the political morass over the presidency could soon come to an end, the Fed is concerned and ready to act and some stocks, like Motorola and Intel, have stopped falling on bad news;' said Tom Galvin, chief investment officer at Credit Suisse. First Boston. "The sum total of which tells us we have tested our lows and are in early stages of recovery." But even if the correction is nearing an end, the question remains: How close or far away is a sustainable rally?

Still, analysts said not to read too much into the market's retreat - and don 't get carried away by good news.

(AP) Gary GoUehon hasn't scratched a profit from his farm in years. Last spring, he gambled again, planting much of his fa'rm near Brady in high-quality malting barley, only to see it wither in the powder-dry soil and be sold instead as cheaper livestock feed. Coming off one of the worst droughts, a bad crop and the knowledge that his farm pay- them in Montana - are facing another whammy· next year: continued withering federal aid. Payments to farmers with production flexibility contracts will be 2'0 percent less than they were this year, when hi gh fuel and fertilizer costs only added to ominous nickname - "Free- dom to Fail" -·- and rhey say it has .unforruna\ely proven more accurate. The expected rise in commodity prices after the adoption of the farm legislation never happened. Meanwhile, farm payments, which did not all.ovt for any adjustments for the lovt market, continued to fall. In Montana, the paymel)ts will drop from about $117.5 million this year to about $95 million next year, said Bill FIJI)i ~ gan, FSA program specialist. lc Wyoming, payments will faiJ from $7.5 million to about $6 million.

"We've counted on tobacco to support our families for generations. Now it's forcing the next generation off the farm." Kuegel said a proposal unveiled last month by Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton is a good starting point for considering a buyout. The $16 billion mandatory plan would pay quota owners $1 for every pound of burley or fluecured tobacco the farmers were allowed to seD this year. It would be paid over a 20-year period, but the quota. system would end immedutely, said John-Mark Hack, director of Patton's office of agricultural policy. The tobacco program, which has been around since the 1930s, woulcl be replaced by a new one in which only those who grow tobacco - and not those who lease our their quota - would be allowed to raise the crop. Tobacco farmers who want to stay in the business would get production licenses. Bur , unlike quotas, the licenses could not be bought and sold with farm land. New tobacco farmers could get licenses as olcler growers retire. At least a thii·d of thL' cumnt tobacco q111Jta i1 held by nonl;l'tlWCrl whn lon1o it to mhcr tbrmer!, ilmll'llin~ to Hnelc.

Gilbert was skepocal. I_ • .. But with the amount of tobacco he can grow under the program drastically reduced, Gilbert s:Ud he and other farmers would _welcome the opportunity to get our of the business. . uwe've had a terrific cut in our quotas;' said Gilbert, who farms near Berea, Ky. "I'm two years . older, and if they come up with some type of basic quota buyout program I'd be very interested." ; Tobacco quotas are allotments that dictate how much leaf U.S. farmers seD each year based on cigarette ; p!anufacturers' purchasing intentions and unsold leaf . from earlier years. Gilbert says his quota of burley tobacco, used in most · cigarettes, dropped from 10,000 pounds in 1997 to 3,500 pounds this year. "Our quotas have been decreased so much it's really not profitable to bother with it anymore," Gilbert said. : Increasing imports of cheaper lllreign tobacco and declining cigai:ette sales are largely ro blame. · Bur a buyout program in which burley and flue-cured tobacco farmen wmtld receive payments in exchange for the quc\,tn they own could Joun become nv:tilnbl~. l'Niidcnt Clinton la1t month · ord~Nd n cmnh1i11mn b~ ~Nntcd to mtdy th~ pll11ht of lcnf l!l'lliWrl wltlu111t hlcNnilnllllllllklnl!· C::lln· tllll wnntl a pt'llllmlnnry l'llptlrt by thv ~nil of th• )'\lnr.

The bottom line is we want to increase .the c ompetitiv~ncss of domestic tobacco in a glob al mar- ket." But even. Canners who support a buyout are worried about that part of the plan. American · lea f growers acknowledge their tobacco is expensive, but they note thattheir labor costs are higher than in other countries. They also say a freemarket system would force -small farms out of business. · and leave only large ones that are efficient enough to compete. That would be a problem in Appalachia, where farmers are dependent on the lu crative crop but have less acreage than in other robaccocgrowing areas, said Perry Dykes, ·a farmer and direcror of the Agriculture Department's Farm Service Agency for Washington and Unicoi counties in East Tennessee. "In killing the tobacco program, you'd kill the backbone of what's left -in agriculmre in' . the Appalachians," Dykes sa id . H e added that the cash brought in by tobacco enables farmers in East Tennessee to fund other agricultural activities.
