"It's a time to turn to the Lord," Roman Catholic Bishop Anthony M.

Pilla said he was thinking about the families of military members. The Iraqi people, who live. in a regime t~at has shown disregard for hfe, also are deserving of prayers, he said. "The gospel demands it. We must pray for the people of Iraq." On the day after the war began, peace activists around the state hoped to step up their protests, with rallies planned in several cities. Several hundred students gathered at an anti-war rally a~ the University of Akron, but part of the crowd consisted of supporters of the war who waved a large American flag and chanted "U.S.A!

"I'm glad they're here- I feel more secure now that they're checking people," said Barbara Aesher, 49, after chatting with a trooper who checked her bag at a basement entrance. Aesher, a 26-year Statehouse employee, works in the Ohio Senate clerk's office. Lynda Hey!, who works for Ohio State University's school of agriculture, didn't mind having her bag and bulky day planner checked as she amved to host a breakfast for lliwmak:ers. 'There might be someone planning something different than I am," she said. The state posted tro<ipers at five entrances to the Statehouse, and workers' and visitors' belongings could be searched under security measures beginning Thursday. 1 The increase in the threat level from elevated to high prompted the changes, House Speaker Larry Householder and Senate President Doug White said in a memo Wednesday to Statehouse employees. The five entrances will/be the only ones open to employees and the public. Seven other entrances will · be locked at all times.

"There is no question that this war is wrong," he said. "It's dead wrong. People are increasingly going to connect the dots and see that in the long term, this is a tremendous setback for humanity and democracy."

She said that the law authorizes property owners to apply to the county auditor for a reduction in the valuation of property that has been damaged or destroyed at any time during the year in which the damage occurred. The reduction is prorated on a quarterly basis, depending on the calendar quarter in which the damage occurred. Owners of manuff!.ctured homes that have been damaged or destroyed may also receive a reduction in the home's valuation for tax purposes. The reductioi1 would reduce the amount of taxes charged again st the manufactured home . If the auditor determines that the injury or destruction occurred during the tirst half of the calendar year, a refund will be issued for the tax reduction resulting from the reduction in the home's value. If the destruction happened j n the second half of the year, a refu nd would be issued for one half of the reduction in taxes resulting from the reduction in value.

Den Dickerson Publisher Managing Editor Charlene Hoeflich Editor NATIONAL VIEW Reckless Ashcroft action may unintentional~ put public at risk • Los Angeles Times, on Ashcroft's Russian roulette: Last year, Attorney Geneml John Ashcroft tried but failed to get the U.S. Supreme Court to buy his theory that the 2nd Amendment allows pretty much anyone to buy pretty much any gun, a view the court has consistently if infrequently rejected. · Now Ashcroft has threatened California's top firearms control official with criminal charges if the state continues to use a federal databank to hunt down those making illegal gun purchases, as it has done for years. Ashcroft's latest decree is reckless and could emasculate this nation' s gun laws, hamstring police and put the public at risk. Since 1998, firearms dealers across the country have used the Department of Justice's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, to check, supposedly within 30 seconds, whether a customer is prohibited from . owning a gun because of, for example, a felony or a history of . mental illness. Ashcroft wants to stop such practices, believing that a gun owner's right to privacy trumps public safety. The federal Brady .law, requiring the background check for handgun buyers. requires gun dealers to take one peek at an individual's criminal record. A buyer with a clean record takes the gun home. But if that same individual later commits a crime, is slapped with a restraining order or becomes mentally unsiable, Ashcroft has decreed no one should know. Ashcroft would force California law enforcement officials to play Russian roulette 7,000 times a year when they release a suspect for lack of evidence, spring a parolee from prison or . discover that a judge has put a restraming order on a wife beater who has a firearm. Only, in this game, the bullets will be aimed at law-abiding citizens. A large part of Ashcroft's responsibility is protecting the public, not undercutting laws that would help him do that job.

Thought for Today: "Never lose your temper with the press or the public is a major rule of political life."- Dame Christabel Pankhurst, Eng Iish suffragette (I 880-1958). Anti-war forces spread disinformation Hiram Johnson, the great California senator, famously remarked: "When war comes, the ftrSt casualty is truth." And so it is with the coming war against Iraq. But it is not the Bush administration or its international allies that are speaking untruth to justify military force against Saddam Hussein's rogue regime. It 's the anti-war minority - in Congress, in the media, on college campuses and in the street - that is employing disinformation to try to persuade the American public that the war is both unjust and unnecessary. There are any number of lies about the looming war that have been promulgated by the anti-war crowd. But none are more outrageous than the following: That President Bush is rushing to war, needlessly placing America's men and women in uniform in harm's way. One year and one day after the terror anacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the president went to the United Nal.lOns and la1d out the case · for action against Saddam regime. The U.N. Security Council responded this past November by unanimously approving Resolution 1441, which gave Saddam's regime "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" or else. Well , six months after Bush's U.N. speech, four months after the U.N. Security Council issued its ultimatum to Iraq, Saddam still has not com- 's Joseph Perkins plied with those disarmament obligations. And he continues to play cat-and-mouse with U.N. weapons inspectors. The anti-war crowd would give the dictator additional months, if not years, to get his mind right, to commit his regime to disarmament. But Saddam has had more than enough time. That the war is about oil. Robert Fisk, The London Independent's Middle East correspondent, is one of more than a few conspiracy theorists, on both s1des of the Atlantic, who have concluded that America's beef with Saddam "isn't about chemical warheads or human rights," but about black gold. "Along with the concern for 'vital interests' in the Gulf," be wrote in a recent commentary piece, "this war was concocted five years ago by oil men such as D1ck Cheney." · But Fisk, and other anti-war types like him, have turned logic on its head. For if the United States were interested in increasing its access to Iraqi oil, the best way to accomplish that is not by going to war.with Saddam. It's by advocating that the U.N. Security Council lift economic sanctions on Baghdad - imposed after the Gulf War - that limit Imq's oil output (to prevent Saddam from using oil revenues to build up his arsenal of weapons). Another argument: war with Iraq comes at the expense of the. war on terr?r·. This line of anu-war rhetonc IS predicated on the fallacy that a superpower like the United States can't walk and chew gum at the same time. But AI Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are mistaken if they think that the American buildup to war in the Gulf makes it safe for them to crawl out from under their rocks. Indeed, just a fortnight ago, the United States took into Shaikh custody Khalid Mohammed, the suspected mastermind behind the Sept. II, 200 I, terror attacks. All told, more than 3,000 suspected terronsts have been apprehended around t~e world. Othe':: ha~e met. a d1rfere~! fate. Le_t s put It th.Is way, srud Prestdent Bush, m his State of the Union address, "they are no .longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies." Falsification: the war is being driven by Jews. During a recent appearance at an antiwar forum, Rep. James Moran, D-Va., declared, "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war in Iraq, we would not be doing this." Moran's Jew-ba5hing sentiments - for which he later apologized - are shared by more than a few opponents of war with Saddam. Like University of Chicago professor Fred Donner, who recently authored an article for The Chicago Tribune in which he suggested that President Bush ha5 been unduly intluenced by "Likud-oriented" members of his team · · . · Part1cularly, he asserts, Paul Wolfow1tz, deputy defe~se secretary, Douglas Feith, undersecretary of defen~e: and R1chard . Perle, an admimstralion adv1ser, all of whom happen to be Jew1sh. Of course, this sounds like something right out of "Protocols of the Elders of· Zion," the infamously antiSemitic tract that warned of a secret Jewish plan to take over the world. The reality is that the Jewish ·community in this country is no more or less supportive of war with Iraq than the nonJewish community, as assorted opinion polls bear out. President Bush aims t0 d's1. arm Saddam not because he Js takmg marchm~ orders from the Elders of Z1on, as Moran, Donner and other anu-war Jew-bashers insinuate, but because Bush recogmzes that, 1f Saddam were to supply weapons of mass ..destrucuon to terronst alhes, the attacks of Sept. II would be a prelude to far greater horrors." (Joseph Perkins is a colwnnisr for The San Diego UnionTribune and can be reached at Joseph.PerkimUnion Trib.com.) You know what this world needs? More Pollyannas When someone calls me a Pollyanna, I beam. What this world needs is more Pollyannas. Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel said once that the world today is not a place we would wish to bring a child into. Yet we must, he said, for the world desperately needs the innocence childhood brings. TV programs like "Captain Kangaroo" and "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'' brought grace and a soothing reassurance into children 's lives. Sadly, few TV shows of this caliber exist today for children. Nowadays, we take innocence from children too soon . We force into the life of youth the experiences and thoughts of age. It is no blessing to children to see life as an older person sees it. They are denied what makes being a child so wonderful - a time of life that is carefree, light" hearted and without fear. Do I sound like a Pollyanna? I'm glad. You know, I hope the story of the 11 -year-old orphaned girl who comes to li ve with her aunt Polly and changes Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio Friday, March 21,2003 The Daily Sentinel Bette Pearce Friday, March 21, 2003 r George Plagenz the heart of an entire town gives you readers a little something to retlect upon. Pollyanna brightened life around her by teaching the townsfolk to play the "glad game," which involved finding something to be glad about in everything that happens. When Tom, Aunt Polly's bent-over hired hand, can' t find anything to be glad about, Pollyanna reminds him he can be glad he doesn't have to stoop so far to do his weeding - '" cause he was already bent part-way over." Pollyanna conceded it wasn't always easy to play the "glad ·game" but her father, who originated the ga me, showed Pollyanna to always "just be glad" - like the time she was hoping there would be a doll in the missionary barrel at the church where her father was a minister before he died. But all that was in the barrel was some child's crutches. " Father had to tell it to me .. . 'j ust be glad because you don't need 'em''" The word "Pollyanna" made its way into the dictionary some years after Eleanor Porter, who lived in Littleton, N.H., wrote the story in 1913. Mostly it is used today in a disparaging sense, referring to someone whose irrepressible optimism fails to take into account the hard facts of the real world. This is a shame. because I think you can take the world's hardness into account and still find the good in it without being disit:usioned. That is, maybe we could all benefit from playing the "glad game" and look at the world as we did when we were children. I have on my desk an unpubli shed manuscript titled "Night of Wonder" written by a 13-year-old fri end of mine. It's a delightful fantasy of a girl about the age of Pollyanna who is whisked off one starry night, like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz," to strange and marvelous places in our country 's past - an Amish village, George Washington's home in Mount Vernon, an Indian encampment out West and a pilgrim sett lement where she lives with the people and families who made American history. To me. "Night of Wonder" proves youth can develop an enthusiasm for history or for literature while making . learning an adventure. More than that, though, books like "Night of Wonder" keep alive children's imagination and innocence. Those against being a Pollyanna want' to warn children about dangers of living in ~n unreal dream world. But what they ought to do is follow the advice of the late Rev. Bernard Clausen, and help build a world that will be "safe for the hopes of motherhood , safe for the dreams of childhood." (George R.

'There's some resistance to it in our community, but we're committed to this thing. Everybody who is WOikinJ1; with us brings something to ihe table.

Hours earlier, eight British and four American soldiers died in a U.S. Marine helicopter crash that a British military . spokesman said was an accident. , In a sign the war. might be entering a new phase, eight B52 bombers based at Fairford air base in western England took off Friday as night approached in Iraq. The first movement of the heavy bombers foreshadowed a third night of air strikes, which have been limited so far but apparently effective in shaking Iraq's leadership. An important part of the war plan laid out by the war's commander, Gen. Tommy Franks, was to drop special forces at sites around Iraq to seize sensitive facilities such as oil wells, airfields and susJ>C':ted chemical and biological weapons sites. The airborne assaults were planned to come nearly simultaneously with, and in some cases in advance of, the bombing campaign and ground assault. The H-3 airfield, 240 miles from Baghdad, has been one of Iraq's primary air-defense installations. Allied pilots bombed it in September. Retired Navy Rear Adm . . Stephen H. Baker said at the time that destroying radar at H3 "would allow allied aircr.ill mounting major raids on Iraq a clear route into the country." American and British truops encountered both hostile fire and white flags in their sprint across the desert Friday, with some 200 Iraqi soldiers surrendering to the U.S. 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit just over·an hour after it crossed the border from northern Kuwait.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said direct talks were taking place with Iraqi forces and it was possible the "full force and fury of a war" could be averted. "There are communications in every conceivable mode and method, public and private," he said after meeting lawmakers Thursday night. A Democratic lawmaker expressed similar optimism. "The behavior of those who've not surrendered would suggest that they might," Rep. Robert Andrews, 0-N.J .. said after being briefed by military officials.

While the sug- I• ) ' of our nmional politi ca l lemlers who have recently accused Pres ident Bush of fai ling to achieve a diplomatic so lu tion and worldwide <.:onsensus concerning proven evi ls of Iraqi leader. Saddam Hussein . It seems apparent that all the politic al blather has done no more than bloaLt hostile situation that has been tolerat ed too lon g. Pro longed negotiation serves as an advantage to unreasonable people. . . But. the accusation ol failed ne~otiation has rather sti mulated a sp iritual perspective that should be embraced hy the church. Let us cu t to the core. It be~ins with the fact that G1;d does not negotiate with evi l. As a matter of fact. God did not win our salvatio n hy prolon ged negotiatio n. but through the clash or direct combat. Keep in mind , first of all. that the Cross of Jesus Christ was a place of combat. It was lhere that the savi ng force of God through Hi s Son confronted head on the evils of Satan. Philippian s :l: 14- 15 makes clear the outcome of the confrontation. By way of the Cross, Jesus Chri st openly showed up evil, and dec idedly spoi led the devil's de signs. Christ assai led the gates or hell which gates cou ld not preva il agai.nst Him . Furthermore, the resurrection of Jesus Chri st was an act of combat. By way of Hi s resurrectio n. the Lord defeated death , hell , and the grave, decisively taking possession of their keys of authorit y. Death has lost its st ing, and the grave has lost its victory due to the Lard 's direct res urrection attack fro m the side of His own personal death. God did not sit down at a table of negot iation in an attempt to mollify the devil on the issue of sin. Neither did God attempt to persuade world opinion that spiritu al regime change was necessary. After all , there is too much indiv idual negotiation with the devil transpiring as it is to ever hope for a world-w ide co nse nsus . God has always known that the on ly way for Satan to be defeated was by way of combat 1 The same stands true today, and the church or the redeemed must see the Ron Branch truth of it. We must see the critical need to get steeled for combat. Oh. indeed , it is not combat invo lving bombs and guns. It involves spiritual combat , whic h, in many respec ts, the ch urc h has grow n soft. Apostle Paul said, 'Thou, therefore, endure hardness, as a good soldier of Je sus Christ." He also stipulated, '' Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of Hi s might." In what ways must we get steel ed for the spiritual combat at hand? Get stee led for combat to stand firm on the standards of God's Word. The church has been for too long too prone to negotiate with new age moral standards to the detriment of' soc iety at large . However, the absolutes or God's Word are not negotiable . The principles of God 's Word are not repressiv e, but liberating! Get stee led fo r co mbat to res ist influences designed to move us from our profession of fai th . It takes determination · to remain surrendered to the will of God, despite the multi-lateral pull s of this pre sent world system in which we live. It takes spir itual zeal and enthu siasm to remain faithful to God's calling, de spite the discouragement and di sappointment with which we are confronted. Remember that there is victory for those steeled for combat according to God-proven strategies. When the Lord came to thi s earth , He was most definitely steeled for combat. Had he not been, He would have never waged the combat necessary to provide for us such a rich and secure salvation. Get steeled for combat. and glorify His name' " Father, give "OUr President divine guidance, preserve our troops, deliver us from ev il, and grant the victory, according to your r r Prayer stressed at crusade rally GALLIPOLIS- "We' ve to activate th e inactive got something big to pray church member. for!" .

Ronny Turiaf had 22 points, mcluding a school record-tying 16 free throws, and 10 rebounds as ninth-seeded Gonzaga held off late-charging Cincinnati 74-69 Thursday in the West Regional. "We have a flare for the dramatic," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "They made a run at us and we were lucky to hang on." His Bulldogs like being underdogs at the NCAAs, even if this time they were playing a team slotted just one seed higher, Gonzaga - which made runs from low seedings to the round of eight in 1999 and round of 16 the next two years- has one firstround loss in the past five tournaments. That came last year, when Gonzaga was seeded sixth and was bounced by No. 11 )Vyoming. The Bulldo~s next face top-seeded Anzona in the second round Saturday. Hu~gins, meanwhile, wasn 1 at courtside for Thursday's close finish. "Coach is everything to us," said Taron Barker, whose 16 points led the Bearcats.

But Garaway coach Scott Bardall drove home the point after his team advanced to the Division III state championship game by beating Archbold 70-59 Thursday night. Bardall talked about being in a cemetery at 2:30 in the morning after the Pirates won their regional last Saturday. He and his assistant coaches visited the grave of Glen Lorenz, who was one of Bardall's assistants when he died from a heart attack in January at the age of 38. And they'll be there again after the championship game Saturdar "Either way, we decided we re going to the grave Saturday," Bardall said. • . Lorenz' death isn't the only adversity the Pirates have faced this year. Sixth man Brian Lash was m a severe sledding accident this winter and suffered torn intestines and a fractured sternum and hip. Lash is with the team, but will not play. Tyler Renner scored 36 poin!~ - 26 in the second half - and had 10 rebounds and five assists against Archbold.

The days are gone when a new ballpark can transform a team. . Great Amencan Ball Park gtves the Reds an emotional boost and some extra money to add to the low-end payroll - between $10 million and $15 million. · That's enough to move them to the middle of the pack, but not nearly enough to guarantee they'll be a contender from the season's first pitch. Chalk it up to timing . In the past decade, the flurry of new ballpark openings, the dramatic increase in big-city broadcast revenues and the arrival of revel)ue sharing have softened the impact of a new park, just as the Reds prepare to move into one. "Does it take us into the echelon with the Yankees or some of those other clubs? A new ballpark doesn't do that," Reds chief operating officer John Allen said. "But the new ballpark and the labor agreement help us dramatically. "The new ballpark is not one thing that can get you from ' Z' to 'A' in one fell swoop. It just doesn ' t allow that." At one time, it did. The Jake wa·s the backdrop when Cincinnati-area taxpayers approved a tax increase for their new ball park in March 1996. After a generation of mediocrity at best, the Indians went to the World Series in 1995, their second year in a ballpark that made all the difference. For numerous reasons, no ballpark can do that now.

(AP) It was only the first inning of an inconsequential exhibition game Thursday against the Reds, yet the Pirates quickly found out what Kenny Lofton might mean to them. In his firSt Pittsburgh at-bat, Lofton patiently waited out Reds rookie Lance Davis, fouling off several pitches before slapping a base hit into left field. It was exactly the kind of at-bat - one in which the batter waits for the pitcher to make a mistake and not vice versa - the Pirdtes seldom got from the seven leadoff hitters they tried last season. "That was great for our young players to see, how he goes about his business up there," manager Lloyd McClendon said. In the bottom of the frrst, a windblown fly ball carried into left field, seemingiX a routine play for Brian G1les. But Lofton sprinted over from center field to make the catch, needing only a few quick strides to run down the ball. Afterward, the two talked at length before the next batter came up. . "It was the wind," Lofton said, expiaining that he wasn't trying to infringe upon Giles' turf. 'The wind was really blowing out there, and it was a lot harder toward left than I thou~ht." Even if 11 was a catch he won't be. needed to make regularly, it was a sight the Pirates haven't seen for years: an outfielder with the range and speed to make such a play. That's why a team that h!IS gone through center fielder after center fielder - Adrian Brown, Chad Hermansen, Brant Brown, Jermaine "i s, s, Allensworth, Jacob · Brumfield and a dozen more - since Andy Van Slyke's ' final Pirates season in 1994 · thinks it finally has a keeper.

Pain lingers decade after accident killed two Indians players BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLERMONT, Fla. - A real estate agent's sign marks the entrance to Autumn Road, a winding dirt path leading back to the ranch Tim Crews built overlooking Little Lake Nellie. · Magnificent, chestnutcolored horses graze on a hill next to the lake, which except for new homes on its shores hasn't changed much in the past decade. · On this sunny afternoon, Nellie is calm and quiet. Only a bass splashing the surface and the distant whir of a lawnmower break the silence. ' : It's just as it was on March 22, 1993, when a relaxing day of laughter, friendship and family turned to horror as Cleveland Indians pitch ers Crews, 31, and Steve Olin, 27, were killed in a boating accident. · A third pitcher, Bob Ojeda, barely survived. : The crash's 10-year anniversary has awakened painful memories for those who lived through a spring when baseball's eternal hope was darkened by death. · " It's something that you never forget," said catcher Sandy Alomar Jr., now with the Chicago White Sox. "It was unbelievable." Former Indians manager Mike Hargrove has never shaken the tragedy. "I relive I 0 years ago three or four times a year," said Hargrove, who wrestled with similar emotions as Baltimore's manager when pitching prospect Steve Bechler died of heatstroke on Feb. 17. "It has certainly brought back all the bad feelings ," Hargrove said. ••• The Indians, still two years away from getting back to the World Series for the first time since 1954, had been given March 22 off by Hargrove. They wouldn't take another one during spring training for the next seven years. In his first year with the Indians after coming over from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Crews invited so me of his new teammates and their families to a picnic at his sprawling ranch, which according to neighbors has been put on the market by his widow, Laurie. Olin, his wife, Patti, and their three children enjoyed a day of horseback riding and swimming along with Ojeda and strength coach Fernando Montes. Second baseman Carlos Baerga couldn't attend. "I was supposed to go to that party," said Baerga, trying to win a job with Arizona this spring. "Maybe it would have been me that day. I had to pick up my family at the airport at that time, so God maybe did that for a reason. I got lucky." So did Montes. With evening approaching, Crews asked his friends to go out for a spin in his boat and to do some fishing. Olin, Ojeda and Montes had joined Crews on board when the group realized they had left some gear behind. Someone had to retrieve it, so the men played the children's game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Montes lost, and went in search of the gear as the boat launched. Crews, who was driving, circled the lake and signaled to a friend who had joined Montes ashore that he was going to make one more trip around. Seconds later, at the moment Crews hit the throttle, the boat smashed into a neighbor's dock. The trio didn't have time to protect themselves. Montes was the first to the scene. Olin died instantly from head and chest injuries. Crews, the father of three, was airlifted to a hospital where he died at 6 a.m. the next day. Ojeda suffered severe injuries to his scalp but lived, only because he was slouching in his seat. The emotional scars are still there for Ojeda, now a pitching coach in the New York Mets' organization. He hasn't spoken publicly about the tragedy swce August 1993. Investigators later determined that Crews had a blood alcohol level of 0.14 percent over the ·s tate legal limit of 0 . 10 percent. "We had been drinking," Montes said. " But I also sa.w someone through the course of the day who was in charge of his senses and who was not drunk." Florida officials also found that the 165-foot long dock was within regulations, jutting into the shallow lake whic~ is now 3 feet deeper than it was in 1993. "If the water level back then was where it is today," said one neighbor, who asked not to be identified, "those guys would be alive. It was a nightmare for everyone around here." Some of the Indians players didn't learn of the tragedy until the following morning · when they reported to the club's training complex in Winter Haven- about an hour's drive from the lake. "It was chaos in the ballpark . Everybody was crying," Alomar said. Hargrove and his wife, Sharon, did all they could to keep the Indians and their families together emotionally. But the pain was too deep, and it would be a long time before Cleveland's players could move on. "It changed the whole team, the whole chemistry," Alomar said. "We never recovered because of the way it happened. Three guys, in a boat on a day off ... " Olin had come up through the lndian·s' farm system, and the fun-lov Ing, side-arming closer had become one of the team 's most popular players. "He was such a good kid, worked hard and had such a wonderful family," said Cleveland bullpen coach Luis Isaac. " That's the big loss. A team can go out and get another pitcher. He had twin daughters . They lost their daddy." Patti Olin struggled with her lo ss. She briefly lived in Cleveland following her · husband's death , but found. the memories too painful and moved. She remarried in 1996 . At her wedding , Gary Olin, Steve's father, walked her down the aisle. After they died, Olin and Crews remained a part of the Indians' fami - . ly. In their memory. the .

IUPUI pulling out every : motivational trick for No. 1 Kentucky NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Ron Hunter has pulled out every motivational trick in the book to get his team ready for No. I Kentucky. The story of David and Goliath'/ You bet. The movie "Hoosiers"? Naturally. Hey, when you're the coach of a 16th-seeded, oddly named te3Q1 - what does IUPUI stand for, anyway? there's no use pulling any punches. "Everything is fitting right into place," said Hunter, the exuberant, belly flopping coach of the Jaguars. "Honestly, I think we're the best 16 seed they've had in this tournament for I 0 years." Brave words, indeed, since IUPUI is about to take on the best team in the country period. Kentucky (29-3) hasn't lost since laie December, reeling off 23 victories in a row. The Wildcats breezed through one of the country's toughest leagues with a perfect record and a tournament championship. At this point, anything less than a trip to the Final Four would be a major upset. The 'Cats might have a hard time pronouncing IUPUI, but they shouldn't have any trouble winning Friday in the opening round of the Midwest. Regional. Hunter is undeterred. "If you get caught up in our name and get caught up in thinking we're a small school and all that, you're going to be in trouble," he said. Just to make sure the players share his positive approach, Hunter got a copy of the Bible and made copies of the section on David and Goliath - with a few alterations. "I kind of changed the words. Of course, Goliath · was Kentucky and David was IUPUI," he said sheepishly. "We had the slingshot, but the rock was the basketball." If that wasn't enough, Hunter also had his team watch "Hoosiers," the story of a small Indiana high school that won an improbable state championship in the 1950s. "I had everything picked out," he said. "We measured the court," just as Gene Hackman did in the movie. Kentucky coach Tubby Smith is contident, too. He has plenty of reason to feel good about his team beyond desperate motivational tactics. The Wildcats aren't just beating teams they're pummeling them. The average margin of victory during the nation's longest winning streak is 16.6 points. Only seven of the 23 games have been decided by few er than I 0 points. Just five teams during that span have managed to shoot 50 percent against . Kentucky 's ferocious, incessant defense. No. I' No doubt about it. "I think we've proven during the course of the season, night in and night out, that . we're deserving of this honor," Smith said. "A lot of being No. I is people are really going to come with their best game. But we' ve seen that most of the year. We see that at Kentucky on a regular basis." Bring it on, IUPUI (20- 13); which made the NCAAs for · the frrst time by winning the Mid-Continent Conference tournament. "You want your opponent · to give his best effort," Smith . continued, "because that's what they're going to get from us every night." Also Friday, eighth-seeded · Oregon (23-9) takes on No. 9 Utah (24-7) in another · Midwest game. In the South Regional, thir4~seeded Xavier (25-5) plays No. 14 Troy State (26-5), making its tirst NCAA appearance : Finally, No. 6 seed Maryland, the defending national champion, faces No. II North Carolina-Wilmington (24-6). · · Unlike Hunter, Utah coach Rick Majerus is hardly brimming with confidence.· · "I hope we can win six, but I've probably got a better chance of being a biology teacher," said Majerus, who had just spoken of his science-impaired abilities in the classroom. Majerus, in fact, thinks the · tournament should be post- . poned while U.S. troops are . at war in Iraq. But the games go on, and the Utes will go ort · without senior forward Britton Johnson, sidelined by infectious mononucleosis. Johnson was examined again Wednesday, but uoctors detennined that an enlarged spleen would keep him off the court.

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend, "Kit;" has been living with me for almost four years, and our love for each other is stronger than ever. Kit has asked me to marry her many times, but I always divert her attention or change the subject. . I truth is, I don't believe io marriage and would rather have Kit as my girlfriend for the rest of my life. What scares me is the fact thai my last girlfriend dumped me when I leveled with her about how I never want to marry. Please tell me what to do because I doo 't want to lose Kit. -FOREVER SINGLE IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR FOREVER SIN· .GLE: First of all, level with Kit about how you feel and why. While it may seem romantic to have a girlfriend forever, niature people want to take care of those theyAove·. There are legai protections .and benefits for spouses that single people do not enjoy. Your lawyer can explain them to you. As things stand, if something were to happen to yoil, Kit would be left with nothing but memories. Is that what you want? .

There was continued debate among >tr.s':"intelligence officials over the fate of Saddam, and whether he had been wounded or even killed in a Wednesday night strike on a building in the capital of Baghdad. Whether Saddam was alive or not, U.S. intelligence officials said the Iraqi command and control system was in disarray, and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said, "The regime is starting to lose control of their country." The aerial onslaught was designed to accelerate that. The U.S. Central Command, which is running the war, said the targets included military command and control inst&llations and buildings in and around Baghdad, as well as targets in the northern cities of Mosul.

Plumley, 37, was bound over Thursday following a preliminary hearing in which Gallipolis Municipal Court Judge Margaret Evans determined enough substantial evidence had been presented by Prosecutor Brent Saunders for the case to go to trial. Plumley was charged with murder following an investigation into the March 10 shooting of 49-year old Marlin L. Montgomery in Guyan Township. He is being held in the Galha County jail. The body of Montgomery was discovered by sheriff's deputies following a report of a shooting incident at a residence on Wells Run Road near Crown City. The shooling, which authorities .believe to be the result of a domestic dispute, is still under investigation. The grand jury will meet Monday in Common Pleas Court.

Todd Bodine J~m ie McMyrrn~ arry Foyt, the son of perhaps the greatest American racer . who ever Jived, is trying to escape the shadow of his dad this year in NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. That won't be easy. Foyt, 26, is driving a Dodge with his father's famous number, 14, and A.J. Foyt is the owner of the team. Larry is both A.J .'s adopted son and natural grandson. "I notice he hasn't been happy the way it (the.team) has been run the past few years," said Larry, referring to his father, "so we are really trying to turn it around." Another Foyt grandson, AJ. Foyt IV, is debuting this year in the IRL's lndyCar Series. "He (A.J.IV) is an incredible racecar driver," Larry said. "He has a lot more experience than I do. I think he is going to be fine. It's a big step for him just like it's a big step for me. A.J. is going to have his hands full with both of us coming up.'' A.J. Foyt won the Indianapolis 500 four times. He holds the all-time record with 67 Indy-car victories and also won the Daytona 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. up, I raced the go-karts a little bit. At that time, I was the youngest kid who grew up in the house, and my dad didn't have any of the other kids racing. "He was against me racing early on. He just didn't want to have to worry about us getting hurt and things like that. I never even thought about stock-car racing. It was all • about open-wheel racing. I raced Formula 2000 a little bit and started testing the Indy cars. I was pretty much ready to go IRL racing, and at the last minute, he started the Winston Cup team. He said, 'If you want to have a good career, you ought to look at stock cars.' That's when he put me in the ASA car." Larry Foyt graduated fr.om Texas Christian University in Fort Worth: His father made a college education a requirement before he would support his son's racing career.

McCoy said the ribbons would remain up until the troops safely returned. (Kandy Boyce) With those words, Harold . Thompson of Gallipolis summed up most folks' feelings about longtime Gallipolis bu sinessman, world traveler and community Max figure Tawney, who died Thursday at age 89. Tawney, who purchased a photography studio in a building at Second Avenue . and Court Street at the height of the Depression, made his mark in the business by laking school class photographs, many of them still around today, branching into photos of local events and most especially, images of the more than 70 countries he visited in his lifetime. Those accounts were included in a book he produced shortly before his death, "Max 's Adventurous Travels Around the World," whose first printing sold out almost at once. Additional copies of the book have been ordered several times, said Tandy Flint, his granddaughter. and people were in~uiring about copies at the studio on Friday. . Tawney was a charter member of the Gallipolis Lions Club, founded in 1956, where Thompson got to know him and appreciate hi s legacy to the communi ty. "He had been in business for 70 years. Think about it," Thompson said. "He definitely contributed a lot to our club and to the community. "Max probably sold light · bulbs right from the beginning," he added, referring to the Lions' annual "Light .for Sight" sale of light bulbs, the proceeds of ·which went to help the sight-impaired. "I went to see him a few weeks ago and talking to him was real nice, as always," Thompson said. "He always had a good sense of humor that's what I was always impressed with." Mary Lee Marchi, director of the Gallia County Historical and G enea l ogica l said Society, Tawney's photographs are an invaluable link to Gallia's history. Many of hi s photos were donated to the society for future viewmg. "This man contributed so much to the history of Gallia County with his photos," she said. "The legacy he has left us is incredible." Rai sed on a farm near Gallipolis, Tawney entered the photo~raphy busine ss soon after his graduation from Gallia Academy High School in 1933, first working for the studio operated by J.E . Watts. and later buying the business from Watts. In the early days. working with a photographer he hire<! from Marietta, Richard Remmey, Tawney traveled th:ti tri-state area taking class pho-: tographs. "One week a month we began at Point Pleasant an~ Henderson to take every school from there to Charleston," Tawney recalled in a 1993 memoir.
