(Charlene Hoeflich) Valentine's Day: A big , event -through the years BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY - Valentines can express a from romantic to range of feelingsfriendly to something in between. And there are thousands out there from which to select just the right one for your significant other or your elderly mother. Just a visit to any card shop with their well-filled shelves is proof enough -of the popularity of Valentine's Day. Greeting card companies expect more than 950 million Valentines to be exchanged Jhis year, not just between lovers .as they were centuries ago, but by family and friends who want to show their affection for one another. Not all, however, will be sentimental and sweet, or even contemporary chic. Some will be humorous, poking fun at the sender, the recipient or love itself. There will even be a few which carry a bit of sarcasm or a slight insult- a more subtle version of the "vinegar" valentines. the "rudes and crudes" and the "penny dreadfuls" of a century ago. Most, however, will convey a message of "looking at the world tbrou!lh the eyes of love," expressed through a pnnted verse in a beautiful card decorated with "bits of ribbon, bits of lace, hearts and flowers all in place." While it may be the "thought that counts" when senc\ing most holiday cards, for Valentines it's the verse. No old rhymes like "roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you", but real words of affection like "we've been together all this time, and still I hope you know, your love has meant much more to me, than I could ever show." The exact origin of Valentine's Day is still somewhat in question, but perhaps the most popular version gives credit to a young priest · behind bars in Rome in 270 A. D. The story goes that the young man was beheaded tor refusing to honor a pagan god but not before he fell in love with the jailer's blind daughter, healed her, and sent her a message signed "From your Valentine." His name was Valentinus. A less known legend about Valentine' s Day dates back to the ancient Roman festival known as the Feast of Lupercalia. Celebrated on Feb. 14, the day that birds were thought to mate, the feast honored the pagan god Lupercus. The celebration included a "love lottery" in which young maidens would write their names on fancy cards and place them in a large urn in the public square. The unmarried men would each in turn select a woman's card from the urn and would then court her for a year. It doesn't really matter which version of the origin of Valentine's Day is true. What does matter is that Valentine's Day provides a wonderful opportunity to express feelings of affection, to show appreciation for support from family, to renew and culti vale friendships, to connect with others. And all it takes is a Valentine card. POMEROY - The Ohio Department of Transportation continues to review bids for construction of the new Pomeroy/Mason Bridge, but a department spokesman said Wednesday the bridge contract will likely be awarded before the end of the month. Last month, ODOT named C.J. Mahan CoHstruction Co., Grove City, and National Engineering and Contracting Co., Stron~sville, the apparent low btdders for the project. But, they said a bid will not be awarded until a thorough review of the bids and specifications is completed. Stephanie Filson, public information officer for ODOT's District ·10 at Marietta, said Wednesday the bids are still under rev1ew. "I don't think the department will wait until the first of March to award the bid," Filson said. "I think a bid will be awarded before the end of this month." The firms' base bid of $45.8 million is $3 million less than ODOT engineers predicted. ODOT's original bid date was Dec. 6, but the depaJ1ment determined through the pre-bid process that it would be beneficial to the highway department and potential coytractors to postpone that d:te until January. Once a bid is awarded, construction on the cablestay span could begin as soon as warm weather arrives, Filson said. The new bridge is similar in design to the 13th Street Brid~e in Huntington, W.Va. It wtll be built just down river from the existing bridge. ' Gallia County man~ faces attempted murder charge Bv TONY M.

About 350 growers filled an auditorium at the University 9f Georgia's Rural Development Center, about 200 miles south of Atlanta, to learn about two buyout proposals pending in the Senate that would pay them $8 per pound for their quota and $2 to $4 per pound to help them make the transition. They told six congressional aides who attended that a buyout is the only way they can survive the changes tak · ing place in the industry. "We' ve been talking about this since 1997 ," said Statesboro grower Lamar DeLoach. "Time is running out. Most of us are about to lose our farms. I'm about worn out. We need your help." The aides cautioned, however, that the possible war with Iraq, the North Korean nuclear crisis and other world events may keep lawmakers busy in coming months. "Don't think this is going to be taken care of in the next two or three weeks," said Jody Redding, a member of Georgia Democrat Sen. Zell Miller's staff. "It's going to be a long haul." The estimated cost of a buy- out would be $15 billion to $16 billion, paid for from fees charged to tobacco companies. They would pass along the cost to consumers. Arnold Hamm, assistant general manager of the Raleigh, N.C., based FlueCured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization Corp. said U.S . tobacco growers have been hurt by the drop in cigarette consumption and by international trade agreements. Two of the nation's top tobacco . competitors are Brazil and Zimbabwe. "On agriculture, the United States has given huge concessions to developing countries," he said. "Farmers are feeling a terrible amount of pain. They want some relief. " During the meeting, Cook County grower Bern Daughtrey, 47, ducked out for a smoke with several other farmers. "You need these things, the way things have been going," he said while dragging heavily on a cigarette.

BY ANN BONNER • • • PageA4 development. These studies make one thing clear: trees are not frills or cosmetic add-ons. They are basic infrastructure and a major factor in contributing to community pride, quality of life and economic development. Street trees, for example, are important not just because they absorb noise and air pollution, lower utility costs, and provide a habitat for birds and other wildlife, but because the roadway and its frontages are a community's major public space. Trees growing along a street visually tie a development together and make it a unit. This is why Southern Living magazine says that "for America's relatively low density communities, trees and landscaping will do more than buildings to make a great urban presence." Communities need aggressive tree planting programs as well as comprehensive programs to protect existing trees and to mandate landscaping of commercial areas and parking lots. While mandating anything in today's political eli· mate is likely to encounter some resistance, passing tree protection and landscaping ordinances may not be as hard as it once was. This is because more and more builders and developers are recognizing that trees not only make our communities more livable, but also make. their developments more valuable.

(AP Photo/Amy Sancetta) Surviving Mother Nature in Ohio GALLIPOLIS - Ohio's weather never fails to catch us off-guard at least once during the winter. That's why Gallia County Farm Bureau and its safety coordinator, Suzanne Duncan, urge everyone to be safe in the worst of winter's cold. Duncan offers these tips to prepare for winter's worst: • Prepare a winter emergency kit for yourself and keep it in the trunk of your car with at least two blankets, waterproof matches and candles, extra clothing (especially boots and mittens), a steel shovel ·and rope, dry food rations like raisins, nuts and candy, a flashlight with spare batteries, large garbage bags to use as insulation, a metal coffee can to store small items and melt snow for drinking, sand, change for pay phones and jumper cables. • If you own a cellular phone, keep the batteries charged. • Winterize your car, get a tune-up and consider switching to snow tires. • If you do get stranded, tie a red cloth to your antenna or an outside mirror, keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow, run the engine and heater only 10 minutes every hour and keep a window cracked open for ventilation. • Pay attention to weather reports. • Become familiar with your vehicle's winter weather operating characteristics. Front wheel drive vehicles handle differently on slick roads than rear-end wheel drive vehicles. • Keep your windows clear, inside and out, and remember to clear snow away from head, tail and brake lights. • Avoid parallel parking when icy. • Keep your gas . tank at least half-full. • Leave plenty of room between the car in front of you and your vehicle. • Don't pump anti-locking break systems. Firm, continuous pressure activates the ABS. • Remember that if you need to drive with your windshield wipers running, you need to have your headlights on as well.

Chiquita, the world's largest banana exporting company, said Tuesday it lost $26.3 million, or 66 cents per share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with a loss in the sarne period in 200 I of $73.7 million, or 98 cents per share. The comparison is with old shares outstanding prior to its financial restructuring. The company emerged from bankruptcy in March 2002. ' The company said its fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations was $4.8 million, compared with $18.3 million a year before. "We were clearly disappointed with or fourth quarter performance, which can be attributed to a number of negatives events compared to a year ago, includmg a poor pricing environment in Europe and higher tropical production costs," said Cyrus Freidheim, Chiquita's chairman and chief executive. Net sales for the fourth quarter rose 6 percent to $484 million, compared with $456 million in the same period in 200 I. The increase was primarily due to favorable exchange rates and increased banana vol· ume in Europe. Fourth quarter unusual items included charges and write-downs of $12 million incurred by Scipio/Atlanta, the company's German distributor and were primarily associated with the closure of poor performing units and the disposal of noncore assets. For the year ended Dec. 3 I, 2002, the company reported earnings of 13.2 million. The company reported a loss of $118.8 million the year before. Cincinnati-based Chiquita suffered years of multimillion-dollar losses before it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization as a new company 95 percent owned by creditors, who forgave $700 million of debt.

BOSTON (AP) - The death of three monkeys that had gotten an AIDS vaccine in a Boston lab suggests that a closely watched strategy intended to blunt the deadly progression of HIV may not provide total protection from the disease. For several years, researchers have concentrated on crafting vaccines that prompt the body to mount a vigorous challenge to HlV and hold the virus in check.

Uf. had best fight medical errors instead of lawyers President Bush may be right to push medical malpractice reform to keep doctors from walking off their jobs, but he should also address a companion crisis: health care quality. Bush repeatedly attacks "junk lawsuits" - and the trial lawyers who file them - but he has taken few steps to prevent the errors and deaths that cause victims to sue in the first place. One particular medical horror story - the unnecessary double mastectomy undergone last year in Minnesota by 46-year-old Navy veteran Linda McDougal, who had been mistakenly told, following a mix-up of test results, that she had invasive breast cancer - is being seized upon by trial lawyers to counter Bush's proposed limits on malpractice awards. But hundreds of thousands of other medical errors occur annually. In 2000, the Institute of Medicine, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, estimated that errors may kill between 40,000 and I 00,000 Americans per year. And a survey last year by the,Harvard School of Public Health and the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 35 percent of doctors reported that they or their families had experienced medical errors in the course of being treated, with most saxing that "serious health consequences ' resulted. The Institute of Medicine called for a $1 billion federal investment in information technology and other steps to establish "best practices" among providers to reduce errors. Not only has Bush not recommended any such spending, he called for a 16 percent cut last year in the budget of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which does outcomes research and promotes patient safety. And Bush's forthcoming 2004 budget reportedly calls for another cut. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, who is now working to improve health quality in Pennsylvania, told me he pushed hard in the administration to establish a national! y standardized database for medical records - controlled by patients - and for a reimbursement system based on patient outcomes, not time in the hospital or procedures performed. He got nowhere, he said in a phone interview. "I was Treasury secretary. I Morton ·Kondracke COLUMNIST had no standing on health matters," even though he argued that "up to 50 percent of the national resources we devote to health care is wasted." The Bush administration argues that huge sums of money can be saved through caps on malpractice lawsuit awards - $60 billion to $108 billion a year in insurance costs for tests and procedures ordered only because doctors are practicing "defensive medicine." Theoretically, some of such savings could be used to improve health quality by computerizing records and ceasing to overwork medical residents, but the administration hasn' t called for it. Bush's only proposal on the quality front - undoubtedly a useful one - is to permit doctors and other health workers to disc uss their mistakes and improve procedures without (l:ar that their words will be used against them in lawsuits. White House officials say that a proposal on information technology is under study, but it didn ' t have enough priority to make it into Bush's State of the Union address. Meantime, the administration and tort reform advocates in Congress say that recent well-publicized liability crises in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Florida will help their cause this year. With malpractice insurance premiums doubling and tripling in some states, doctors have quit working or have moved away, trauma centers and maternity wards have closed, and hospitals have quit performing neurosurgery and other high-risk procedures. Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who sponsored a medical malpractice reform bill last year that received only 42 votes, said, "without naming names, I've talked to anumber of senators who are rethinking." "This is not just a discussion of principle any more," he said. "It's a real crisis. This is on the evening news. This is something people are talking about around the kitchen table." He said that, as a result, getting the necessary 60 votes to defeat a Democrat-led filibuster "is not out of the question." Last year, all 50 Democrats and six Republicans voted against McConnell's measure. Liability reform advocates are encouraged by the decision of Sen. Dianne Feinstem (D-Calif.) to back a national law equivalent to California's, which limits jury awards for noneconomic damages ("pain and suffering") to $250,000 and allows for punitive damages only in cases of malice and fraud. The malpractice fight is intensely political. Lawyers and their lobby, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, contribute overwhelmingly to Democrats, and the insurance industry to Republicans. The American Medical Association, which sided with ATLA to fight for patients' rights legislation against insurers, has switched and has made malpractice reform its top issue this year. ATLA contends that malpractice · insurance rates are rising because insurance companies are trying to recoup losses in the stock market. But this claim is refuted by the Physician Insurers Association of America (whose members insure most doctors), which says that only 10 percent of companies' revenues can be invested in stocks. Moreover, while the stock market is national, malpractice insurance premiurns vary widely by state. An obstctrician in Los Angeles pays $54,600 per year, according to the PIAA, and $20 I ,000 in Miami, for example. So, there •s a good case to be made for Bush 's malpractice reforms. But there's also a compelling need for measures to ensure that mistakes like the one damaging Linda McDougal' s life won't happen. (Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.) Following Alice down the rabbit hole of numbers I received a public education back when there were enough textbooks for every kid in the class. I learned to read and write with fair proficiency. Yet I can't understand much of what California Gov. Gray Davis is trying to say in his 2003-04 bud. get proposal, a 216-page document that attempts to fiX the estimated $30 billion state deficit. Reading it is like falling down the rabbit hole: Cuts in funding are somehow made to sound like increases. Tall is short, high is low, bad is good. It's enough to make you want to close the document and leave it to the politicians to hash out the details. That, of course, would be a mistake. ·So, in plowing through the Lewis Carroll language, I found this on page 146: "The state prison population is expected to increase next year by 0.2 percent, which translates into 378 more inmates. The parole population is expected to decrease by 1.6 percent." (These are Davis' own numbers. ) Yet somehow the governor sees fit to propose an increase of $40.2 million to the Department of Corrections. This seems odd, considering what I had read on page 78. The population of California public schools is expected to grow by I percent, which translates to 58,879 more students. Nevertheless, here is what Gov. Davis says in his introduction to the education section of the budget: "The significant drop in the General Fund revenues resulting from the delayed economic recovery requires that funding be reduce(! accordingly, even in the highest priority programs." . Joan Ryan COLUMNIST fourth- and eighth-graders in California scored lower in science than students of any state except for Mississippi and Hawaii. In math, they languished far below the national average; scoring among students from the six lowest-ranking states along with Hawaii, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and New Mexico. For four years, a nonpartisan group of California state legislators, educators and community leaders have collaborated on a "Master Plan for Education." It is a blueprint for restructuring education in California. In it, they say they "realize that quality education is expensive. We would not expect public education to sacrifice effectiveness to achieve greater economy." Yet that is exactly what Davis is asking. Yes, we can make public education more efficient. We can rid it of reforms that might be popular but have not shown concrete results (class-size reduction, to name one sacred cow). We can examine core assumptions. But the governor's cuts The cuts to California public education over the next 18 months would amount to about $5 billion - an amount that exceeds the entire deficits of some other states that consider themselves in serious financial trouble. The cuts would be tolerable if California schools were fl ying high. Davis tries to make the argument that school funding had increased substantially in the last few years (i.e., since he was elected), suggesting that the cuts look are not acceptable, nor are the many cuts worse than they really are because we are to education occuning across the country. spoiled from recent over-funding.

Experiment shows AIDS vaccine unlikely to give total protection from disease WE AR~ SO ELESSt=O The Daily Sentinel PageA7 Wednesday. researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston who helped develop the strategy reported that monkeys eventually appear to fall sick and die, even after showing promising resistance to the virus. :"This suggests that viral escape will prove to be a challepge," Dr. Daniel Barouch, one of the Boston researchers, said at the I Oth Conference on Retroviruses in Boston. ; In his experiment, three of four vaccinated monkeys got sick during three years of follow-up after their shots with an experimental vaccine created by Merck & Co. Typically these new vaccines take a twocstep approach. The first, called the prime, is HIV genes that are mjected into muscle, where they are taken up by cells and result in production of viral proteins. The second is the boost, often a harmless hollowed-out virus that carries in more HIV genes. Together, if all goe~ as planned, they induce the body to mount an attack by killer T cells that destroy HIV-infected cells. This may not prevent an infection, but it can minimize its consequences by keeping virus levels low. Dr. David Ho, scientific director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City, said the monkey deaths are "enough to be wonisome." In fact, Ho said the empha- sis in the vacci ne field seems to be shifting back toward an older strategy that many had dismissed as unworkable against HIV Ordinarily, vaccines do their job by prompting the immune system to chum out antibodies that recognize an invading germ and ki II it before it ever establishes an infection. Even though the body readily makes antibodies against HIV, they cannot penetrate a thick coat of sugar that covers the virus' surface. However, new studies suggest it is possible to concoct antibodies that actually do kill HIV, and stud• ies are under way to tind ways to trigger their production. NASA: Defects may have caused probe to break up Kerosene lanterns line the walls of Lehman's Hardware and Appliances Wednesday In Kidron, Ohio. Since the terror alert was raised last week·, more and more people have been shopping for items to prepare for a possible emergency. (AP) Americans prepare for terror disaster as nation on alert KIDRON (AP) America's terror alert has some people buying wood stoves, drums to collect rainwater, duct tape and plastic sheeting - just in case. At Lehman's Hardware and Appliances, which specializes in non-electric household ·products and serves a large Amish community, sales are up among the non-Amish , much as they were during the Y2K scare and again after Sept. II. "Whenever something like this happens, we get a lot of phone calls," said Glenda Lehman Ervin, whose father opened the store in 1955. "We ~et a lot of questions, like, Do you have a wood stove that will cook and heat my house?' or, ' How hard is It to dig a well?"' On Friday, the government raised the nation's terror alert from yellow to orange, the second-highest level, because of intelli~ence information indicatmg that alJQaida was planning attacks on the United States. Federal officials have recommended that Americans take basic disaster-preparation steps such as maintaining a three-day stockpile of food and water. They also recommend obtaining duct tape and plastic sheeting to seal a house in a · bemical or biological attack. Around the country, many Americans say they do not think there is much they can do to defend themselves from terrorism. But others are taking steps to prepare themselves. Paul and Melissa Jackso n of Tulsa , Okla., bought two 1,000-square-foot rolls of plastic sheeting and II rolls of duct tape Tuesday at Home Depot. The couple said they have also agreed to rendezvous with about 30 family members at their vacation house near Grand Lake northeast of Tulsa if there is an attack. Their families have also secured satellite phones in case communications are disrupted by terrorists. "These people are crazy," said Mehssa Jackson, 29. "You don't know what they're going to do. We don't think anything's going to happen, but it's better to be safe than sorry." Paul Jackson, 34, said he had spent less than $100 on supph es, "so it's worth the risk if nothing hafpens." Jim Ash, 50, o Overland Park, Kan., stopped by a Home Depot to buy a generator cord that he said he would have needed even if the terror alert level had not been raised. . "I don't think we really have that big of a risk around here, but it just doesn't hurt to be prepared," Ash said. "We do make sure that we have enough food on hand, like you would for a storm." In Seattle, Federal Army & Navy Surplus has seen more sales in the past week of gas masks, which cost $20 to $111, said Jon Anderson. Other popular items have been first-aid kits, emergency supplies for cars, .and military-surplus meals. Lehman's, about 50 miles south of Cleveland, said calls picked up when the terror alert was raised. "Those big 50-gallon drums for rainwater - we've gotten two calls for them today. I haven't heard that in a year and a half," Ervin said Tuesday. The store is also stocking up on jumbo jugs of lamp oil. JoAnn Ekey, 55, drove about 30 miles from her to home in Ashland Lehman's to browse, not to prepare for a terrorist attack. Nevertheless, she said she is thinking about getting ready for an emergency. "The water supply would be my major concern," Ekey said. "I' II probably buy some bottled water and make sure I have enough canned food around." She also planned to buy batteries for flashlights and radios. Others are more skeptical. Jenry Lizardo, 37, of Jersey City, N.J ., who was shopping at Borinquen Home Improvement, said he had not taken any precautions . "I don't believe if they do any major violence or major attack that's going to do anything," he said. Fred Ottensmeyer, an employee at Sullivan Hardware in Indianapolis, leaned up against a stack of boxed paint cans and said he is not sure precautions would make a difference. "My wife said it was like getting under a table in case of a nuclear attack," he said. Byron Yeager, a 47: yeacold Indianapolis maintenance worker with a tattoo of a burning cross on his hand, said outside a Lowe's hardware store : "There's a lot more things to be scared of in the city of Indianapolis than terrorists. If you walk around the corner and somebody clubs you over the head, duct tape's not going to protect you." SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) - An unmanned spacecraft that broke up last summer as it embarked on a mission to study comets was probably doomed by a defect m its design, NASA's chief engineer said Wednesday. Contour had been orbiting the Earth for a month when it fired its rocket motor for 50 seconds Aug. 15 to send it on a trajectory to collect data from at least two comets. The spacecraft was never heard from again. Days later, telescope images showed pieces moving away from Earth along the same path and at roughly the same velocity Contour was expected to travel. Scientists surmised the spacecraft had broken up. Faulty design had placed the motor too far up the body of the spacecraft, allowing hot exhaust gases to apparently heat the probe and trigger its breakup, Theron Jr. told The Bradley Associated Press. Tills slmple-yet-ooplllotlcatad favcrhe offe11 piHow armo and a two-cushlcn - "That will be the leading cause in our report," he said. Bradley heads the team investigating the loss of the $159 million Contour. He is also executive secretary of the nine-member independent board investigating the space shuttle Columbia disaster. Bradley cautioned that other causes of the Contour accident still cannot be ruled out, including a collision with . space debris. Space debris also is being considered as a cause of Columbia's disinte- gration. Contour, short for Comet Nucleus Tour, was to meet up with comet Encke in 2003, Schwassman-Wachmann 3 in 2006 and perhaps comet d' Arrest in 2008. The spacecraft was built for NASA by Johns Hopkins University with assistance . from Corne.ll University. . Johns Hopkins spokesman · Michael Buckley said the Contour team had no comment on the investigation.

(AP) -Forget women's rights and gender equity. When Teresa Phillips decided to substitute for a suspended coach, the athletic director saw herself as Tennessee State's only option. She will make history Thursday night as the first woman to coach a men's Division I basketball team. Phillips said she couldn't give the job to the only remaining assistant in just his second season as a coach. "No matter what the criticism may be, I felt they needed an authority figure on the bench," Phillips said Wednesday. "With all the circumstances that have happened, it's not like it's been a normal year." Far from it. Phillips will be the third coach this season for the Tigers (2-20). Nolan Richardson III quit Jan. 8 after admitting he brought a gun to a Christmas night argument with assistant coach Hosea Lewis. The Tigers are mired in a 16-game losing skid. Lewis, the interim head coach, was suspended by the Ohio Valley Conference on Wednesday because of a benches-clearing fight Monday night against Eastern Kentucky. Chris Graves, who was the third assistant last season, was the only coach left. That prompted. Phillips' · . decisi6n, which has been the talk of radio and television around the country. Plenty of men coach women's college basketball teams. Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma has won three NCAA titles and two out of the last three. But only two women have ever served as coaches for a men's Division I team, and both were assistants: Bernadette Locke at Kentucky and Stephanie Ready at Coppin State. "I don't feel like I'm holding the banner up for anything," Phillips said. "I'm trying to be supportive of our program and our team. We have a lot of healing to be Prep basketball Unbeaten Generals outlast Meigs BY JIM SOULSBY Sports correpondent LOGAN - On paper the sectional tournament semifinal game between Meigs and Sheridan appeared to be a colossal mismatch. The Lady Generals came into the game undefeated at 20-0 and ranked third in the latest girls Division II state poll. Meigs on the other hand was a team that had won a total of two ~ames at the end of January before flrushing with a flurry winning five of their last six games. Basketball games are not played on paper, but between the lines on the hardwood and records don't always show the resolve, heart and determination of a team. In a tough gritty effort the Lady Marauders feU to the Generals by a 4732 count in a game that wa&,much closer than the final score indiciltes. Meigs who :came into the game a huge underdog stood toe to toe with the Generals fo~ most of the cohtest as the Lady Generals found they couldn't roll over the Marauders as many had expected. The Marauders held a 25-20 advantage with just 3:30 left in the third quar- ter before the Generals depth and experience paid off in the form of a 27-7 run to close the game. . Sheridan broke the seal on the games scoring on a Jessie Slack bucket at the 6:33 mark of the opening stanza. Kayte Davis answered for the Marauders with a tum around jumper just 35 seconds later to lie the score. Samantha Pierce buried a three-point rainbow from the right wing to give Meigs 'an early 5-2 lead three minutes into the contest. With the score tied at 7-all Shannon Soulsby, taking a pass from Pierce nailed a three-point bomb from deep in the left comer to give the Marauders a l 0-7 lead. The advantage was short lived however as Amanda Krofft matched Soulsby's trey with one of her own just 15 seconds later. Slack scored late in the period to give the Generals a slim 12-10 lead after on quarter of play. Sheridan opened the lead to four points in the early stages of the second period before the Marauders came roarmg'back. Pierce hit a lay-up then found Soulsby in the paint to tie the score. The sophomore guard found Maria Drenner on the left baseline on the next Marauder possession; Drenner connected on the 15 footer giving Meigs a 16141ead. Renee Bailey was fouled after gmbbing an offensive rebound and managed to hit one of two at the line to round out a 7-0 Meigs run that put the maroon and gold in front by a 17-14count with 4:41 remaining in the half. After Mastel gave the Generals the lead back at 18-17 Pierce canned two free throws with 4.3 seconds left to send Meigs to the locker room with a stunning 19-18 lead. Jaynee Davis who was outstanding for the Marauders connected on two quick hoops to open the second half and a fired up Meigs team had their biggest lead of the game at 23-18. Stevi Large put the Generals on the second half scoreboard to cut the gap to 23-20 when she rebounded an errant General shot and laid it in. Renee Bailey banked in a short jumper at the 5:40 mark of the quarter to extend the lead back to five points, but just then the Marauders' offensive well went dry. Meigs would not score another field goal over the next 9:20 of the game, chalking up only three Davis free tllrows in that span. Sheridan began to find the range at just the right time. With Meigs struggling against the tough General defense, Toni Smalley and Kroft combined to score II straight points with the big blow being a Smalley three pointer from the top of the key as the Generals took a 31-25 lead to the final eight minutes. Smalley would score II of her 13 points in the second half. Davis broke the Sheridan run with a free throw to open the final quarter and hit two more charity tosses to keep Meigs within striking distance at 33-28 with 6:51 left. TheDenerals started to pull away as they attacked a tiring Meigs defense. Smalley and Krofft sparked a 10-2 run by the Generals that put the game out of reach as the Sheridan five built a 45-32 lead with two minutes left before coasting to the win. "That was the toughest of all our wins this year," Sheridan coach Doug Fisher would say after the win. "I thought that fatigue played a factor in the game; we played I0 or I I players and they played about six or seven." Mei~s coach Paul Brannon agreed with Ftsher on the fatigue factor. "I think that we got tired toward the end," the Meigs c.oach said after the game.

Her career record is 212-189 as a coach at Fisk and Tennessee State, where she took the Tigers to two NCAA tournament berths. She also was an assistant at Vanderbilt.

The Tigers will be withqut two players, suspended for their part in Monday 's brawl. Josh Cooperwood is their second-leading scorer, and Cedric Bryson is their center.

Ohio State won 76-67 . (AP) New designs work as ~sucks bounce Penn State STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien designed some new plays this week to try to get guard Brent Darby more shots. They worked against Penn State. Darby scored 27 points and had seven assists as Ohio State beat the Nittany Lions 76-67 Wednesday ni ght . The new plays allowed Darby to drive the lane to look for his shot first. If Darby couldn't score, he could either find a teammate on the per" meter or dish it down low. More often than not. Darby got past his defender and had a layup. "If I had it, I took it," Darby said. "If I didn't, it went right into a play. 1was able to get into the lane and finish sometimes." Penn State (5-15, 0-9 Big Ten) couldn't find a way to stop him. Darby scored 16 first-half points, and in the second half continued drivi111g to the basket and getting layups. "We need to get him more shots," O'Brien said . "We tried to put in a couple different wrinkles where he can try to score. " When he didn't score directly off the drive, Darby scored from the foul line, where he was a perfect 11 -for- 11 . "When he gets the basketball, he can put his head down and create off the dribble," Penn Stale coach Jerry Dunn said. "He's probably the guy who gets the most out of his abilities in this league." Darby not only drove to the basket to score, but to find open teammates. He also made the Nittany Lions' defense collapse, leaving Sean Connolly open on the perimeter. Connolly dutifully knocked down three 3-pointers, fini sh\ \ ··--- ---··· •··- Please see Melp, B2 -- - ing with 13 points. When Darby couldn't find Connolly, Zach Williams and Shun Jenkins were lurking around the basket waiting for a pass or a rebound. They also produced, which was crucial in the Buckeyes' win, since starter Yelimir Radinovic was in foul trouble all game and only. played 7 minutes. Williams linished with 12 points, and Jenkins had a season-high 17 rebounds. Ohio State (12-10, 5-6) outrebounded Penn State, 48-29, and the Buckeyes have Darby to thank. When he would drive the lane and draw a double team, it allowed Williams, Jenkins and other~ to get easy rebounds and putbacks. "They're one of the better teams in the league getting things off the dribble," Dunn said. "The first thing we wanted to do was take away his (Darby) 3-point look and then you have to guard him ." TUPPERS PLAINS Behind a 24-11 fourth quarter and key buckets going down the stretch, the Eastern Eagles scored an impressive 67-62 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking ·Division victory over the Trimble Tomcats Wednesday night in a boys varsity make-up game from Tuesday night. Eastern (13-6, 6-3 TVC Hocking) keeps its Hocking division title hopes alive with the win. Eastern was led by Alex Simpson with 18 points, Nathan Grubb with 13 points, Jason Kimes 10, Brent Buckley 10, Nathan Cozart eight, and Cody Dill eight points, seven rebounds, and seven blocks. . ., Trimble was led by NOllli Barren who had a game-higli 21 points, J J . Jenkins with 15, Justin Jenkins nine, Zach Walton nine, RJ. Andrews five, and Bruce Fouts three. After a 23-5 set-back to start the game, Eastern trailed for the duration. A 2- 1 score was as cl05e as it got when Brent Buckley hit the first of two free throws to match a Barren field goal. Trimble went on a 21-4 romp to end the frame, completely dominating the early gomg and scoring with a red-hot shooting clip. Barren and Walton scored seven points each in the drive, while A.J. Jenkins notched live points. Early Trimble penetration and a couple treys from Jenkins and Walton formed a potent inside-outside attack for the 'Cats. The ftrst round ended 23-5 as Eastern stood shellshocked. "They (Trimble) played very. very well; about as well as a team could play in the first half. Everything they shot they made." said Eastern coach Howie Caldwell. "We came back and responded the second half, and played more focused. Maybe we looked ahead to Friday a linle bit.

As a crew chief, Kirk Shelmerdine was king of the Winston Cup garage, helping the late Dale Earnhardt win five championships and 44 races. His face adorned posters. reporters constantly sought him for interviews, and he often was interrupted by autograph hounds. _"I had a very good life as a young crew chief," he said. Now a driver, trying to make the Daytona 500 for the second straight year, Shelmerdine can't get in the gate without showing a picture ID along with his credential. _ "I tell you. I kind of enjoy being anonymous," the 44year-old said. "Since nobody !mows who I am, I don't have the same problems as the other guys." That's probably the only (AP) - advantage. Shelmerdine and a handful of other drivers share the same problem during Speed Weeks: their only chance of making the 43-car field for NASCAR's bie;gest race . rest in the 125mtle qualifying races Thursday. Pole-sitter Jeff Green and Dale Earnhardt Jr. already have a spot in the race, secured lifter they paced qualifying earlier in the week. Most everybody else has a variety of ways they can get in, through their finish in the qualifying races, their speed from qualifying, or as a poihts provisional. But Shelmerdine and the other long shots only have the 50-lap sprints after poor qualifying efforts, since they're not part of full-time teams. They'll have to fmish in the top 15 or go home early. "The pressure is always there," Shelmerdine said. "You know all you can do is your best, and that might not be enough." Fonner Daytona 500 winner Denike Cope is in the same situation, although he's not as much of an unknown. He's made 13 starts in the Great American Race, including his victory in 1990. Driving for a new team that he owns, Cope was 47t,h in qualifying with a lap of 180.668 mph. "I'm starting in the back, so I' II have to make a couple of aggressive moves to get up into the pack and manipulate the other drivers into drafting with me," Cope said. "My car needs another one behind it to run fast - it won't do it by itself -so I'm going to have to have some help." He has reason to be confident in his ability to make it happen. In 15 qualifying races in the past 17 years, Cope has fmished better than 15th on all but three occasions, even though he's rarely started near the front. In 1999, he charged from 27th on the grid to I Oth. Only once has he had the qualifying speed or points to rely on. and both occurred in 1998. "Can you believe that luck?" Cope quipped. "Something I'd been hoping for my entire career, and I have them both in the same year." Thms out he didn't need either. He finished sixth in his qualifying race. David Green, Hennie Sadler and Mike Harmon will hang around the track even if they fail to make the Daytona 500. All are scheduled to run in the Busch Series event Saturday, but Green's still worried about his Winston Cup ride. making difference in Winston Cup DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. (AP) - Five days befort!'ihe season-opening Daytona 500, the action in and around NASCAR's red hauler was frenzied but routine. · Missing from previou s years were the angry team owners and manufacturers claiming the rules put them at a disadvantage. Gone were the frustrated crew chiefs begging for a change in the aerodynamic rules to make their cars competitive. "We just hope it stays this way," said · NASCAR Winston Cup director John Darby. Ted Flack, the head of NASCAR engineering for Dodge, thinks it will. " It certainly takes the whining and paranoia out of it," Flack said. The difference ts NASCAR's decision to use generic templates to measure key parts of all four car makes involved in the series. NASCAR. calling the process "aero matching," announced the changes in September and kept refming them over the winter. "From that meeting in September on, every car body was scrapped, all the parts and pieces," Flack said. "It was a big deal. starting back at zero." Beginning with the preparations for Sunday's Daytona 500, all the cars have to exactly fit 18 of 32 steel templates used during technical inspections. Until this season, there was a completely different set of templates for each make. The key "common templates" dictate the shape and size of the "greenhouse" - the area enclosing the driver - the deck lid . door 'ides. front valance and rear spoiler. Despite all that. the teams have managed to retain some individual characteristics of each make, thanks In the remaining gray area' nose, rear end, wheel wells. edges around doors and windows - in which the fabrica. tors and engineer> have what Rack called "wiggle room ." : "Everybody was afraid you'd be looking at very generic cars that don 't look like anything . That didn 't happen," said Robin Pemberton. a longtime crew chief and now Ford 's NASCAR field manager. "There's still a huge di fference. more than I ex pee ted, between makes." said Doug Duchardt. NASCAR group manager for General Motors. "But there are a lot more constraints, which is a real challenge for the team fabricators to get around;" It has taken some doing to get the templates the way NASCAR wanted them. "It was extremely, extremely aggravating," said Chad Knaus, crew chief on Jimmie Johnson's Chevrolet, "The rules seemed as though they were changing daily; Every time we got something done it seemed like we had to go back and redo it." Darby calls it "an educa• tion process." NASCAR officials sent out. very specific technical bul' letins, visited every race shop over the winter to guide teams in building their new cars, and ran them through unofficial technical inspections in January 's testing. James' games no longer on ESPN. CLEVELAND (AP) LeBron James will be getting a little less TV exposure. · St. Vincent-St. Mary High School officials have decided not to sign a contract with ESPN to have James' final regular-season game televised this Sunday. ''We have been getting some bad press from ESPN and from other media sources," athletic director Grant lnnocenzi said Wednesday. "We're at the point that enough is enough. It's that simple." lnnocenzi said the school's board of trustees voted on Thesday not to have James' game in Dayton against Kettering Alter shown on ESPN2. The network had already nationally broadcast two of the school's games.this season. A Dec. 12 game against Oak Hill Academy - with Dick Vitale and Bill Walton as announcers - earned the second-highest rating ever for ESPN2, drawing more than 1.5 million viewers.

"We have reported fairly and appropriately on our stories about LeBron James," he said.

After a slow start by both teams, the game settled in to a flow midway through the first half with Rio staying close. Shawnee State held a 30-26 lead at halftime. Angel Allen and Annie Thcker kept the Redwomen in the game, scoring 18 points between them. Rio Grande (13-15, 3-12 AMC) forged ahead at 41-40 and 46-45 midway through the second half. A pair of key calls by the officials late in the game played a large role in the outcome. Rio Grande senior guard Emily Cooper was whistled for an intentional foul and moments later head coach David Smalley was hit with a technical. Those were the breaks that Shawnee State (21-5, 14-2 AMC) needed as they converted free throws down the stretch to pull away. The Redwomen placed four players in double figures led by Tiffany Johnson with 13 i'Omts and five rebounds. Alkia Fountain added II points (all m the second half) and pulled down nine rebounds. Allen and Thcker poured in 10 points each.

She would be the first woman in 58 years to compete on the PGATour. "Annika's accomplishments show that she is certainly deserving," tournament chairman Dee Finley said Wednesday.· No golfer has won more tournaments than Sorenstam over the last two seasons, Tiger Woods included. Last year alone. she shattered the LPGA Tour scoring record and won 13 times around the world, the most by anyone in nearly 40 years. "All the attention and speculation is flattering, and I appreciate that the Bank of America Colonial Golf Tournament is giving me !hit; opportunity to compete in a PGA Tour event," Sorenstam said in a statement released by the sponsor. ''The;:e were many invitations. but the golf course and schedule of the Colonial were ideal. For all the well-wishers who want to know why I would accept such a challenge the answer is simple: l am curious to see if I can compete in a PGA Tour event." Sorenstam's main stipulation about playing against men has been to compete on a course that does not require power off the tee. Colonial is 7,080 yards (par 70) and puts a premium on accu- racy. ''I'm as curious as anybody to see how the best LPGA player of today, and possibly all time, will play against the men," Phil Mickelson said. "Colonial is a wonderful course for her to do it on." Mickelson, a past champion at Colonial, predicted that Sorenstam would "definitely" make the cut and probably would finish 20th. This eye-popping new book is packed with full-color photos.

The Dow Jones indqstrial average closed down 84.94, -or 1.1 percent, at7,758 .17. The broader market was also lower. The Nasdaq composite index fell I 6.49, or 1.3 percent , to 1,278.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined I 0.52, or 1.3 percent, to 818.68. The market's losses were partly due to Greenspan's testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. The Fed chairman questioned President Bush's new $1.3 trillion package of tax cuts, saying it would worsen an already bad outlook for the federal deficit. On Wednesday, Greenspan told a Senate committee that uncertainties about a war with Iraq poses the biggest risk to the economy. Investors' biggest fears have to do with Iraq and terrorism, analysts said. The Busli-·aamiiiistration on Friday raised the national ter. ror alert to orange from yellow, citing a U.S. intelligence warning of a high risk of terrorist attack. The highest alert level is red. "It is now a market of Iraq, bin Laden and terrorism," Cardillo said. The effect of war worries i s apparent, analysts said, in how investors disregarded fourth-quarter earnings that were, on the whole, better than had been expected. Investors have been ignoring improving market fundamentals, lamented Ned Riley, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. "Main Street investors remain extremely risk averse, and that has manifest itself in a lack of money going into the equity market," Riley said. Among Wednesday's losers on Wall Street, General Motors fell $1.56 to $33.99 after Bane of America Securities lowered .its recommendation on the automaker to "sell" from "neutral." El Paso dropped $1 .07 to $3.65 after Moody 's Investors Service downgraded its debt rating on the energy company by five notches. EI Paso also said chairman and chief executive William A. Wise was . stepping down. And, Chiquita Brands slid $4.29 to $10.01 the day after the company said cost-cutting measures had a minimal effect in 2002, because the costs were not taken out until late in the year. Chiquita also said it might undertake additional restructuring activities related to a recently completed acquisition. Gainers included CocaCola, which rose 74 cents to . $39.74 after releasing fourthquarter earnings that met Wall Street's expectations. Declining issues outnumbered advancers slightly more than 5 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume was extremely light at 1.55 billion shares, compared with 1.60 billion on Tuesday. The Russell 2000 index, the barometer of smaller company stocks, fell' 4.58, or 1.3 percent, to 355.38. Overseas, Japan ' s Nikkei stock average finished Wednesday up 2.1 percent. In Europe, France's CAC-40 fell 2.5 percent, Britain's FTSE I00 declined 1.5 percent and Germany's DAX index lost 2.1 percent. Dana Corp. says losses are less TOLEDO (AP) - Dana !=orp. on Wednesday said a . re!lructuring plan begun in 200 I keyed improved results for the fourth-quarter and all of 2002, although the auto parts maker still posted losses. But the operating results per share for both periods came in under analysts' consensus. Dana shares were trading early Wednesday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange down 57 cents, or 5.6 percent, to $9.67. In the fourth quarter, Dana had a loss of $9 million, or 6 cent~ per share, on sales of slightly over $2.4 billion. But Dana's operating profit was $32 ·million, or 22 cents per share. Thomson First Call reported the consensus was 23 cents. In tl1e year-ago quarter, Dana Thursday, February 13, 2003 www.mydallysentlnel.com had a loss of $298 million, or $2.0 I per share, on sales $2.37 billion. For all of 2002, Dana had a loss of $182 million, or $I .22 a share, as sales reached $10.28 billion. In 2001, Dana's loss was $298 million, or $2.0 I per share, on sales of $10.27 billion. Dana said its operating result was $171 million, or $1.15 per share, in 2002. Thomson's reported consensus was $l.16. Joe Magliochetti, Dana chairman and chief executive, said he views the results as an that indication restructuring is working. ''Today, it's clear that we've delivered on this objective," he said. Dana, since the start of its plan, has closed 28 facilities ·,, ,> and divested some operations while reducing debt. Full-year and fourth-quarter results were affected bv nonrecurring charges associaied partly with the restructuring. But Dana's operating profit for the quarter was in line with the company's previously stated expectations. During the fourth quarter, Dana, which has over 60,000 employees, sold its FfE brake and clutch actuation businesses and its Boston Weatherhead industrial hose and fitting operations. Magliochetti said the compa- · ny anticipates flat to reduced sales in its key markets, reflecting current economic conditions and slightly lower North American light-vehicle production. www.mydailysentinel.com Tyson Foods jurors exposed to ~ndercover recording mistake C):lAITANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Jurors glimpsed a profanity -laced part of the Tyson Foods immigrant smuggling probe through a transcript of a mistakenly recorded conversation in which federal agents joke about the case. After three days of testifying about the investigation of Tyson, a judge directed U.S. Border Patrol agent Benito Maldonado on Tuesday to read a transcript of a discussion recorded after a delivery of illegal immigrants. The text of the discussion, part of it wrapped around a reference to "lazy" Americans, featured Maldonado and other agents joking among themselves about possibly keeping some payments for transporting illegal immigrants. Maldonado, seated in the witness stand, described the tape as "locker room talk. It was joking around." The agent also said he had never personally taken any money involved in his cases and would never do so. Maldonado predicted after testifying that reading the transcript would not affect the jury of seven men and five women. The agent said he forgot to tum off what at the time was new recording equipment. "It happens," he said. Tyson is on trial with retired manager Gerald Lankford, 64, of North Wilkesboro; Robert Hash, 50, of Greenwood, Ark., the company 's retail fresh division vice president; and Keith Snyder, 44, of Bella Vista, Ark.. who has worked as a manager at Shelbyville and Noel, M<i. Hash and Snyder are on administrative leave.

Testimony continues in the Tyson Foods Inc. Immigrant smuggling trial, with prosecutors trying to prove the world's largest chicken producer knowingly used low-wage labor from Mexico and Central America . (AP) agers pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors and are expected to testify during the two-month trial. The government contends undercover agents delivered I 36 illegal immigrants to Tyson plants in six states as part of a nationwide conspiracy that began in I994 after company managers had trouble hiring production workers. Hash's attorney, P.K. Holmes, suggested while questioning Maldonado on Wednesday that a_llents tried to entrap adduional ·1yson executives. Maldonado replied that the investigation sometimes involved asking leading questions. If Tyson managers appeared interested in getting deliveries of smuggled workers, the agents pursued it, he said. Maldonado testified that he Wickham, 56, became chairman and chief executive of Roadway Corp. in 200 I, when the holding company was formed. Prior to that, he held the same posts at Roadway Express.

First of all, I compliment this couple for taking the time to visit and care for the needs of this mother-inlaw. Secondly, the Scriptures say, "Honor thy father and mother that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest live long upon the earth." Honor her by allowing her to sit next to her son. The kindness will return to you. Sign me LOVE IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER DEAR ABBY: Your reply to the wife competing with her mother-in-law for seating in the car was wrong! Are these people rednecks with no manners? If that husband is any kind of gentleman. he will not allow his mother to !let into the car without opemng a nd holding her door for her -like any gentleman does. You advised the woman to tell her mother-in-law to hop in the back. Shame on you! I'm a real man, and a real man is also a gentleman. - C.S.K., RICHMOND, VA.

When we had this situation in our family, I always insist· ed my mother-in-law have the front seat next to her son for several reasons: (I) It's a matter of respect. (2) It gives her a chance to be near her child and maybe give hill)~ an affectionate pat during conversation. (3) And don't forget that age often brings with it impaired hearing, which does not enhance communication from the front seat to the back. These are precious times for her to be with her son. "Afraid to Speak Up" will have him all to herself when his mother is gone. - ANN IN SANTA ANA, CALIF. DEAR ANN; You are not the only reader who wrote to tell me my answer stank. I received hundreds.

Gifts for all occasions, Home Decoratlne, and Gardening Needs! BY BRIAN POMEROY - Snow may be free when it comes from the skies, but it is expensive to clean up. Kathy Hysell, clerk-treasurer, said the village spends $2,500 to clear snow and ice from the streets each year. The harsh winter weather has forced the village to spend more than $3,000 for salt and calcium this year. Salt is used to rid streets of ice and snow. Calcium is used when temperatures dip close to freezing to keep the salty/brackish muck on the streets. from refreezing. . _ ·-': 11te village 1\ll:~~urchased another two loads of salt, or 33 tons, from Su~ar Run Mill in · Pomeroy. Th1s will cost about $1 ,200 in addition to $300 more for delivery. Hysell said the salt should arrive within the next few days. The village has plans to purchase another two loads if winter weather does not cooperate. If another snowstorm hits before this salt arrives, the village still has enough salt and calcium to keep the streets clear. Hysell said if a huge snow s"torm blankets the village, then the county could declare an official "emergency." This would qualify the village to receiv~ funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help clear the streets. Two large trucks disperse the salt and calcium. Four workers, who also work in the street department, are responsible for clearing the streets.

News editor SYRACUSE - Syracuse Village Council has voided its garbage and rubbish collection ordinance and will consider another one at its next meeting. It was the general consensus of council members, who voted unanimously to void the ordinance, that it did not serve the customer, the village or the hauler well, and needed further discussion and possible revisions. The ordinance containing provisions about licensing fees, insurance and bonding, limitations on bags, use of dumpsters and senior -citizens charges, will be reconsidered by the ordinance· . '" committee and then brought back to counciL Mark Norman of First Class Trash Removal met with council to discuss some of the requirements of the ordinance. He said that for him to fultill those requirements would mean he would have to charge more for service to the 210 residents he serves. Southern Ohio Tmsh Service, which also has customers in the village, declined to submit a quote for pickup service, noting that because of some provisions in the ordinance, it would be a "great quote risk for the company to submit a proposal at this time." Currently, there are several haulers coming into the village to collect rubbish and trash. There are no village fees for doing that at this time. It was announced that Christopher Thoms, an environmental specialist of the Floodplain Management Program will hold a community meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at village hall to answer questions about the National Flood Insurance Program. ,Bu'* oa,.~DI$ttate to{ ·syracuse by VIllage ~C~uncil · . . *' "''",·~. ~~· ·.~. ,;, rn 01ber actioos.[t · ' U·• dllwn ;···· made a debi$ion to tear lnc.program; ·• · were Mayor Bill R911sh,•and alSo: , ~. .···· ·· • .• ,, ·.-•;. l · thll J'ClSiltioQIS at the • approved purchase of ~ouncil members Eric I l , •~ l!"WPlnted lt~ ~ . ij roadside ..

EMS Administrator Gene Lyons met with Meigs County commissioners Thursday to discuss the grant award from the state, which will allow the placement of the new equipment in Pomeroy and Middleport police cruisers abd in a deputy sheriff's cruiser, to be used in the event of a medical emergency. "In many cases, police officers are on the scene of a medical crisis before emergency medical crews," Lyons said. "With this equipment in place, there's an opportunity to save lives." ' Lyons said additional funding will be sought for the purchase of additional AED machines , which would be placed in other police vehicles throughout the county. and possibly, in public buildings such as the courthouse. Lyons said the grant also provides for the eight hours of training necessary for operating the machines. The EMS office is "almost assured" of two grant awards for additional equipment and training through the Ohio EMS, Lyons said. The application for the grant is April I , and a grant amount has not been determined. During their business meeting, commissioners: • Approved transfers of itnds and new fund accounts for general fund line items; • Approved a contract with the County Risk Sharing Authority for li ability and property damage insurance, at a total cost of $128,000 for a 14-month pol icy period; • Approved an animal claim for Bryan Lyn ch.
