Man with two lovers
faces double trouble

•

DEAR ABBY: After a sixyear relationship with my
boyfriend, "Rudy," I have
learned that he's been shacking- up with another woman. I
am devastated.
I was sometimes suspicious
about Rudy's living situation.
He told me he was renting a
room from his longtime
friend, "Lorna," but I was
never invited in. Rudy 's
explanation was that since it
wasn't his home, he didn't feel
~ortable having company.
.- Yclu guessed it, Abby.
Lorna, the "longtime friend,"
turned out to be my· Rudy's
lover. 1be way I found out
was humiliating. Last Sunday,
I dropped by to visit him
because he had told me on the
phone the night before that he
had stomach flu. When I rang
the doorbell, an older man
opened the door and identified
himself as Lorna's father.
When I asked if I could
come in and see Rudy, the old
man told me that Lorna and
Rudy were · away on a
Caribbean cruise. My jaw
dropped. When I introduced
myself as Rudy 's girlfriend,
and my I 5-month-old as
Rudy's child, HIS jaw
dropped.
How could the man I love,
the father of our precious
baby, have pulled off this dou-

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. - The death of a
Point Pleasant woman is
being treated as suspicious
by the Mason County
Sheriffs Department until
results of a state medical

examiner's autopsy are
obtained, Sheriff Scott
Simms said.
Donna Bonecutter, 52, was
found on the porch of the
second mobile home where
she resided behind Fox's
Pizza Den on Sandhill Road
sometime after 3 a.m.
Wednesday. Simms said the
sheriffs department was

•

notified at 3:26 a.m.
The body was sent to the
state medical examiner's
office in Charleston and
Simms said he may not
obtain results on the cause of
death until later this week.
"This is a suspicious death
which is under investigaton
and will be considered a homicide until our investigation

proves otherwise," Simms
said. "We are working with
the medical examiner on that."
The sheriff uld not speculate on the cause of death,
"other than no firearms are
involved."
There are also no suspects
in the matter until the cause
of death is known, or if he
autopsy results rule out

homicide, Simms said. He
added that the length of time
it takes to obtain the medical
examiner's results depends
on .the caseload. Simms said
he may know something by
the middle of this week, but
more likely toward the end
of the week.

"Everybody seems to be
backed up," Simms said.

FORT
LEONARD
WOOD, Mo. (AP) - There
isn't a tree, porch post or
flower pot outside Samantha
Peterson 's house that doesn't
have a giant yellow ribbon
tied around it.
Peterson put them up April
3, the day her husband, Army
1st Lt. . Donavan Peterson,
'was sent to Iraq. She says he's
the only one who can take the
ribbons down . when he
returns in 2004, but she hopes
.he'll get a preview of the display in a proposed book.
Peterson. has submitted a
photograP.h of her handiwork
for poss1ble inclusion in a
book documenting yellow
ribbon displays around the
country, which is being compiled for soldiers in Iraq.
"I would love it if he were
looking through the book and
came across our house,"
Peterson said. "It would be a
really nice surprise for him."
Katherine · Franz, photographic branch chief at the
Training
and
Doctrine
Command at Fort Monroe,.Va.;
came up with the idea for the
book while walking around the .
fort after the Iraq war began.
"I was noticing all the yellow
ribbons, and I said to myself,
'You know. the soldiers need to
see this,"' Fmnz said.
It became even more pressing when she received an email from her 22-year-old

A full slate of entertainers

POINT PLEASANT, W. Va
- · Mason County Sheriff's
Department has added another weapon to its arsenal in
fighting illegal drug activity
- an electronic tip line.
. Growing use of the Internet
prompted Sheriff Scott
Simms and his sta!T to .add a
drug information area to their
Web site where residents can
anonymously file complaims
and information about criminal activity.
.
The drug tip line went
operational two weeks ago .
Widespread use has not yet
materialized, but Simms
expects it will be more active
when the word gets out to the

By then going to the category for drug activity, space
is provided for information to
be written and then submitted
to the sheriff.
Information is confidential,
and Simms assu red anyone ·
wanting to use the tip line it
will remain so.
"We have . taken precautions," Simms said. "We're

not asking for names of people givi ng us information. If
someone wants to have their
name known to us, they'll call
me. And we have several firewalls in place with our system
to discourage hackers."
The tip line for drugs and
other criminal activity came
about through the link the
sheriff"s oftice has with Point

Simms said.
The system was created for
the sheriff's office by Ed
Lowe of EDLO Management
Systems Consulting of Point
Pleasant.
The launch of the drug tip
line comes as summer manjoana eradication efforts by
area law enforcement begins.
"We felt it was a good idea
and another tool we can use
in the drug wars," Simms
said.
People can still call the
sheriff's office with information at (304) 675-3838, but
Simms encouraged anyone
with Internet access to use the
tip line for reporting drug
activity or any other criminal
behavior.
"We' ll still do that. but this
is another way to provide
information that 's more
effective," he said. "It's
something we check every
day, because the key to doing
any thing is information."

blue dress shirt rolled up.
"The 23,000 men and
women of Wright-Pan, military and civilian, have been
crucial to our victqries in
Afghanistan and in Iraq,"
Bush said. "Research done at
I&lt;»
this base has helped give
America the finest Air Force
in history."
Bush 's speech was delivered in the hometown of the
Wright brothers on the IOOth
anniversary of powered
flight. Before his 20-minute
address, Bush met with Steve
Wright and Amanda Wright

show's finale
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
- The finale at the city's
annual downtown fireworks
show wasn't as grand as
organizers had wanted.
A problem with a firing
cylinder resulted in the cancellation of the fuing of about
200 mortars, event officials
and police estimated.
"There was a segment of the
finale that didn't go off," said
Sarah Irvin, media director for
the Red, White &amp; Bicentennial
Boom! display. "Because of
safety concerns, they made the
determination not to set off
some of the fireworks."
She said that toward the end

CLEVELAND (AP) - A
clerk in the U.S. Courthouse in
Cincinnati has discovered a
195-year-old federal indictment
accusing Aaron Burr of conspiring in Ohio to conquer Mexico.
The iqdictment says Burr
began "a certain military enterpriseagainst aforei prince with
whom the United §"tales were at
peace, to-wit his most catholic
majesty, the King of Spain." .
lbe-indictment was issued in
Ohio's original capital city of
Chillicothe by a grand jury of
frontier settlers in January 1808.
. A few months before the
charges were filed in Ohio,
Burr was acquitted of treason
in Richmond, Va., after a trial
in which he was accused of
scheming to conquer Mexico
and become its ruler.
Burr was vice president
from 180 Jiuntil 1805, under
Thomas Jefferson. He killed
his bitter pol~tical . enemy
Alexander Hamilton m a duel
on July II, 1804.
Karen'Jones, a deputy clerl&lt; at
the Cincinnati courthouse, found
a packet of documents marked
"Burr" while scrounging
tluuugh an old wooden desk.
Among them were 58 records
from the early 1800s.including
transcripts of depositions and
summonses for witnesses
called to testify in Chillicothe.
"I hate to sa)! the_y were lost,"
Jones said ''lit's·Just say they
were ~ly tucked away. That
deskdidn tgetused very much."

Federal officials initially
weren't sure if they could
track down the documents on
the inventory, but Don ...
Jackanicz,' a federal archivist
in Chicago, found them in the
records center that stores federallegal documents originating in the Great Lakes states.
He said th~y haven't drawn
much interest because scholars may not know the Ohio
Burr file exists.
, "It's an interestin~ postscript
to the whole event,' said Stuart
Givens, a retired history professor at Bowling Green State
University, "I taught Ohio history for years and I never knew
that Burr was indicted in Ohio.
I thought everything was over
in Richmond when he was
cleared."
One West Virginia l)istorian writing a book about the
Burr conspiracy said he had
he~d about the Chillicothe
mdtctment, but acknowledged he had never seen such a document.
"T had tried to get copies of
those ~apers years ago,
maybe m the 1970s," said
Ray Swick. "It's not wellknown that cbarges were levelect against him in Ohio.
"If you are a real Burr scholar, you might know, but most
historians don't. Certainly, it's
a fact that most scholars
haven't seen these documents
because they were son of hidden away. Now they will."

Budget cuts take toll on higher education Nearly $3 niillion
ap'proved for spring'
flood victims

CHARLESTON , W.Va.
(AP) - The office trash isn't
dumped as often. The grass
grows a little higher before
it's mowed. And the light
bulbs are being replaced with
ones that use less wattage.
These are among the
changes West Virginia's public
colleges and universities are·
making to cope with I0 percent budget cuts imposed on
July l to address an anticipated state deficit this fiscal year.
In addition, the schools also
are absorbing millions more in
state-mandated contributions
to state insurance programs.
The cuts followed a 3.4
percent midyear reduction
Gov. Bob Wise ordered in
January to offset an anticipated $30 million deficit on June
30. The cuts helped the state
end the fiscal year with a $17
million surplus.
During the recent special
session, legislators passed
supplemental spending bills
that restore about $3 million
to the state's colleges and universities to boost pay, back
research and fund tuition
grants, but they resisted pleas
to come up with additiOnal
operational money.
"All of us in higher ed are in
dire straights," said Glenville
State interim President Robert
Freeman. "The problem is the
' state's economv is what the
economy is." ·
West Virginia University
took the largest hit - a total
of $22 million, leaving it with
$500 million for its divisions.
"We are trying to look in
every corner and find every
nickel that we can ," said
Scott Kelley, WVU 's vice
president for administration,
finance and human resources.
To offset the budget cuts,
the school s are asking students to pay more.
For out-of- state students,
the increases are even hi~her.
"West Virginia has shtfted

the burden of higher education fa ster from the .state to
the shoulders of students
and their parents than any
other state in the nation,"
said Concord Preside'nt
Jerry Beasley."
West Virginia's problem is
shared nationwide as most
states have slashed higher
education funding to avoid
budget deficits.
The National Center for
Public Policy and Higher
Education in San Jose, Calif.•
predicts the budget-tightenmg will continue through the
next decade.
Even if states experience
normal economic growth,
their existing tax policies will
make it difficult for all but a
handful to fund public services, including higher education, at current levels, according to a .recent center report.
· Knowmg they're not alone
doesn't make it any easier for
West V.rginia administrators,
many of whom eliminated
WlJlfOiitable sports like soccer and
rifle to address the 3.4 percent cut
Most of the cuts have hit personnel, where institutions have
eliminated, compressed and
merged positions. They've promoted severance plans to
encourage retirements and are
relying more on e-mail and teleconferencing to reduce travel.
Schools also have frozen
vacancies and are usirtg more
pan-time faculty and graduate assistants to teach everlarger classes as the meritbased PROMISE Scholarship
creates some of the biggest
freshman classes in years.
"We are committed to
offering the classes students
need, but they will be covered by more part-time faculty," said Herb Karle!,
Marshall 's senior vice president for finance. "The salary
is 50 to 60 percent less than a
full-time professor so there is
a direct savings there."

I

Marshall lost $6.3 million,
which reduced this year's budget to $176.5 million . Nearly
all the cuts, $5.7 million, had
to be absorbed by the fouryear institution. Cuts to its
community college and medical school were not as seve~e .
Nearly 40 percent of
Marshall's faculty this fall
will be part-time or graduate
assistants, up slightly from 39
percent last year, said Provost
Sarah Denman. About 21 percent of the classes · will be
taught by part-timers.··
"One of the positives of
using ;Jart-time and adjunct
faculty is that you get practitioners in the field or retired
faculty who no longer want
to work full-time," Denman
said. "They bring a level of
expertise and a level of
experience to the classroom
that you may not have with
your full-time staff, and they
also open up a lot more
access to students."
While the use of adj11nct
faculty can expose students
to instructors who have jobs
they hope to get one day,
administrators say it has to be
carefully monitored.
Quality and accreditation
for spectalized programs cail
become a concern when the
mixture is unbalanced.
Administrators say it also
can be tough to find part-timers
willing to teach dayttme classes
that students desire. Finding an
English or journalism instructor is easier than finding someone to teach physics or classical
guitar, Denman said.
Even with $1.4 million in
cuts, West Liberty Stale
College decided it couldn't
afford to withhold raises.
Instead, they're cramming
more students into fewer sections, restricting travel and long
distance telephone calls and eliminating refreshments at meetings.
Wise and legislators hope
the cuts will promote conser-

vation and encourage colleges to' collaborate in bulk
purchasing and other areas.
Concord and Bluefield
·state, for example, now are
working together on distance
learning projects that would
expand offerings while reducing administration costs.
Cassandra Whyte, vice
president for administrative
affairs at West Virginia State,
said West Virginia administrators have grown accustomed
to doing more with less. .
"For well over a decade we
have been cautious because
of unfunded · mandates,"
Whyte said. "We're all
decent people just trying to
be good educators."

Well
The Exponellt· Telegram of Clarksburg:
For West Virginia's children. it just keeps getting worse. The
latest KIDS COUNT Data Book study shows the Mountain
State's ranking for child well-being has dropped from 39th in the
nation in 1999 to 41 st in 2002.
For families With children, West Virginia has the lowest percapita income, the largest percentage of children living in a
household where parents have no full-time , year-round employment, and 10 percent of our chi ldren live in extreme poverty.
Where is the outrage~ These statistics are abominable, yet the
situation gets worse, not better.
What is the solution? It certainly isn't in the way the state
operates now.
Our ~gislature can't even pass minimal regu lations to ensure
the safety of children on all-terrain vehicles, much less improve
their overall lot in life.
That's not to say government is the only answer, but it can be
a powerful force . One of the bright spots in the study is that the
percentage of state children with nealth insurance exceeds .the
national average. That is a direct result of the CHIP f.rogram.
which provides coverage for kids whose parents don t qualify
for Medicaid.
Margie Hale, executive director of West Virginia KIDS
COUNT, says children are most affected when parents can't find
good jobs because of lack of transportation, child care and education.
We need to be more family friendly in this state in order to
help lift -our children out of the depths of poverty and despair.
The numbers should make all of us sit up and take notice. To
do otherwise could spell disaster.

People always ask me: "Is

Yes. Very hard. Here is a

The other day I was in sitting at my desk in my home

computer screen and wrestle
with professional writing
issues, such as: "Do I have
anything to say about this
topic''" And: "What, exactly,
IS this topic?"
This is tiring work, so
roughly 35,000 times a day I
have to take a break to eat
something or drink something . or scratch something.
At this particular moment, I
reached to my left, to pick up
my can of Diet Coke, and
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

from my chair, landing on
my feet, clutching my keyboard in a defensive pose.
The snake had not moved . It
was clearly thinking: "My

So I ran into the kitchen

was: I was able to grab it.
The bad news was: I grabbed
it in it s midsection, and it was

17 feet) that it could easily
reach my hands with its

So I had no choice but to
pick up the tongs again and
chase the snake around the

Parkerlburg News and Sentinel:
Vehicle and homeowners insurance premiums are high in West
Virginia, in comparison to many other states. That is no secretand neither is the fact that the state's insurance laws are long
overdue to be rewritten.
·
One reason premiums are high is that competition is relatively
low, according to state Insurance Commissioner Jane Cline. She
told state legislators recently that every state surrounding ours
has more competition in the insurance industry.
There are a variety of reasons why comparatively few insurance companies choose to do business in the Mountain Statebut it appears antiquated laws are among them.
Cline cited several state insurance laws that most states don't
have - and which probably don ' t offer needed protections for
consumers.
One example is limits on use of automobile repair parts not
approved by the vehicle's manufacturer. Though no one involved
in an accident wants shoddy parts used in repairs, it is obvious
that allowing auto makers what amounts to a veto power of sorts
is in their best interests - not necessarily those of consumers.
Fraud involving structure fires also is a problem, Cline told
lawmakers. More than one-third of the 91 3 fires investigated by
tl!e state fire marshal's office during the past nine months were
considered "fraud-related," she said ·- but her office has no
authority to prosecute those responsible. Such cases must be
turned oYer to county prosecuting attorneys, which may or may
not take action.
'
Cline emp~asized that some factors beyond control of law~akers are responsible for higher _i nsurance pr~mium s. Natural
disasters such a' floods have played a role 111 htgher homeowners' msurance premiums in West Virginia, for example.
StJU, Cline hasn't argued with those who suggest it is t.ime to
rewnte the ' tate's insurance laws. In order to benefit hundreds of
thousands of Mountain State consumers, legislators should do
just that.

The Herald-Dispatcll of Hurlti11gto11:
Every year, West Virginia and Kentucky are plagued by spills
from coal slurry impoundments. which hold the waste and water
produced during the mining process.
Many are smaller incidents, such as the 27,000 gallons of
bla~kwater that spilled into a Logan County creek in May after
a p1pe broke at the Bandm1ll Coal Co. But even that spill covered seven miles m Rum Creek and the Guyandotte River.
Others have been massive.
In 2000, a Martin County, Ky., imjloundment failed sending
300 million gallons of sludge and waste into two area creeks and
ultimately into the Big Sandy River where it affected drinking
water supplies along a 60-mile stretch of the river.
But big or small , the long-tenm environmental damage to the
creeks and rivers is tremendous. The spills also pose a threat to
people and property. Many still remember the 1972 impoundment accide!JI on Buffalo Creek in Logan County that killed 125
residents.
·
U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd announced recently that the National
Technology Transfer Center at Wheeling Jesuit University will
conduct a $3 million study on coal slurry impoundments and
what can be done to prevent these spills in the future.
·The university is doing the study for the federal Mine Safety
and Health Administration, which itself plays a major role in
monitoring the .imJXiundments.
The problem has been studied before, but fingers always seem
to point in every direction. Meanwhile, the spills continue.
Clearly, the standards for the impoundments are too lax or the
enforcement of those standards is too lax . For $3 million, we
hope the experts can pinpoint the problem, and give our region
some real answers.

Ohio one of several
states where colleges
·being scrutinized
.

.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
- Ohio is one of several
states in which financial
problems are causin~ government officials to take a closer
look at how colleges are
spending money.
Gov. Bob taft has appointed a 32-member Commission
on Higher Education and the
Eco~om&gt;: to . ~et goals for
puW1c umvers1ttes and decule ,
how they should be governed. He has said he wants
to increase efficiency, eliminate duplication and pump up
high-tech businesses.
In Wisconsin, after taking a
record $250 million budget
cut over two years, colleges
were ordered by Gov. Jim
Doyle to abolish 650 jobs.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich of
Illinois ordered colleges to
examine every dollar they
spend, said .Don Sevener, a
spokesman for the Illinois
Board of Higher Education.
New Jersey is looking at
consolidating Rutgers, its
largest state university, with
two
other
universities,Nebraska has launched a study
to examine how many colleges
the state needs and who should
govern them, and Tennessee
started tracking college performance on score cards.
Similar inquiries have
taken place 111 Colorado,
Virgini a,
M i ~so uri ,
Washington
and
West
Virginia.
Higher-education analysts
say Ohio faces problems
unique to its size and educational structure.
"Ohio's really unique
among the states in havmg
six or seven major urban centers, each with interests and
separate economies. It has to
find a way to make ·that a
streng th ," said Richard
Novak, director of the Center
for Public Hi gher Education
Trusteeship 'and Governance .
Ohio's un iversities govern
themselves, as do the universities in about half the states.
The Ohio Board of Regents
oversees public universities
but doesn't run them.
In other states, a central
board with broad powers
oversees collegesand
chooses college presidents.
Public universities don't have
boards of trustees in some
states, such as Georgia.
Researchers say that no one;
system works best and that
change is often prompted by .
the wrong reasons.
" It often has an agenda
behind it that has little to do
with how to structure higher
education," . said
Bruce
Johnstone, a professor of
higher education at the State

University of New York at
Buffalo. He formerly was
chancellor of higher education in New York .
"Fussing with the governance board usually happens
... when someone's angry
with the chancellor or mad at
the board," he said.
Taft spokesman Orest
Holubec sap politics didn't
play a role m Taft 's commission, which he said was born
out of economic necessity.
"The governor believes
that higher education is more
important to the economy
than ever before, yet our
resources for higher education are limited because of
other pressures on the budget," Holubec said.

She warned that severe

still close to 200 cases in hospitals around the world.
Territories affected by
SARS had to report no new
cases for 20 days to get off the
list, and Taiwan's countdown
began June 15. The government watched as China, Hong
Kong, and Toronto were
crossed off in recent days.
Taiwan eventually became
the world's No. 3 SARS

McCartney at the University of
Colorado in 1991-92, hopes his
event will become an annual
event. He doesn't think it will
reach the national · level of
Promise Keepers. which has
attracted thousands of men to
stadiums for emotional Christian
uplift.
· Summer Tmining Camp comes
off as a less-frenzied cousin of
Promise Keepers, with a solid
focus on football as the sugar to
help the medicine go down.
"It's to show a model of being

WIMBLEDON, England - As Serena
Williams waited for her Wimbledon trophy,
she chatted and laughed with her big sister,
Venus then asked an official to capture the
moment with a quick photo.
Yes, the relationship was as strong as ever
after ye! ill!Q!l!er sibling showdown, this
one marked by Venus' valiant effort to win
despite a strained abdominal muscle.
Serena won 4-6, 6-4. 6-2 Saturday -her
sixth Grand Slam
title and her second
straight
at
Wimbledon.
"I had to tell
myself to look at the
ball and nothing
else," she said. "It's
really tough. It
shows what a great
champion Venus is.
She 's really inspiring for me."
Venus aggravated the abdominal injury
and hurt her groin in the semifinals, and she
didn't practice Friday. Two hours before the
final she warmed up for only 10 .minutes
before limping off the court, raising fears
she might not play.
But she did - and after one set she led.
"I carne out here because I thought the
people, the fans, deserved a final," Venus
told the crowd during the trophy ceremony.
Later, Venus said she also felt pressure to
play because the match was against her sister. The family drew boos at Indian Wells,
Calif., in 200 I after Venus withdrew with
knee tendinitis shortly before her semifinal
against Serena.
"Everyone's quite familiar with the history," Venus said. "I had to at least show u~."
The men's finalists said Saturday they re
both healthy. No. 4-seeded Roger Federer
will play unseeded Mark Philippoussis on
Sunday, with each seeking his first Grand
Slam title.
For the first hour, Venus appeared largely
uninhibited by injury. The sore abdomen
has bothered her off and on for two months,
but she chased down shots in the corners,
smacked crosscourt winners a.t~d hit her
serve at up to 110 mph.
But the velocity of her serves gradually
fell off, and as she hit one early in the third
set, she clutched her side and grimaced. She
lost the point and game to fall behind 1-.0,
then called a trainer and left the court to
have the tape around her abdomen adjusted.

Jesus would have made one heck

The tmplausibility of that
statement didn 't seem to bother
the audience of 300 men. After
all, thes.e are men, and we're
talking football here. They were
riveted.
And that's the point of a day- ·
long seminar called Summer
Training Camp, the brainchild of
a National Football League assistant coach who seeks to meet the
spiritual needs ·of men by mixing
in a little of what they know best.
"We call it four quarters of
faith and football," said Les
Steckel, running backs coach for
the Buffalo Bills who still lives
near Nashville since a stint as
offensive coordinator for the
Tennessee Titans.
"The purpose for doing this is
to bring men together," he said.
"There are a lot of men that are
re~lly lost."

PARIS - Lance Armstrong
began his quest for a record-tying
fifth straight Tour de France victory with a seventh-place finish in
the prologue time trial Saturday.
Armstrong started last because
he is the defending champion and
finished seven seconds behind
opening stage winner Bradley
McGee of Australia, who clocked
7 minutes, 26. ~6 seconds.
The 31-year-old Texan is
attempting to tie the record set by
Spain's Miguel lndurain.
"I didn't feel great. I started
slow. It wasn't very comfortable,
and I was struggling with the
pounding of the cobblestones,"
Armstrong said. "But the race will
change."
He then got in a- car ~nd a halfdozen riot police surrounded him
to hofd back a crowd of spectators. ·
ArriJstrong won last year's prologue. Though he lost Saturday,
he still has thousands of mtles left
to win his fifth Tour.

CINCINNATI
Halfway through the
season, there's not much dispute about the
Cincinnati Reds' most valuable player so
far.
Jose Guille'n has done everything except
earn a starting' job.
"He's probably been our MVP," manager
Bob Boone said before the Reds' 7-21oss to
the New York Mets.
Guillen had three
hits Friday, including a pair of solo
homers that underscored his value.
With 'Ken Griffey Jr.
fighting through a
.
.
dislocated shoulder and a sore hlp, Gmllen
has kept the offense rolling.
Even though he's the fourth outfielder,
Guillen lead's the outfield with a .358 average, is second with 17 homers and third
with 44 RBis. He has been productive
enough to win praise , but not enough to
move ahead of Griffey (.245 , .eight homers
20 RBis), Adam Dunn (.209, 23 HRs, 46
RBls) or Austin Kearns (.270, 15 HRs, 57

She definitely has the old
man's gift of gab.
But this is one time Laila
Ali better bring ·her father 's
jab, too.
And not just because her
Aug. 23 fight against trailblazer Christy Martin is personal - and was even
before lhat nasty l,ittle
exchange onstage at a news
conference Tuesday to promote the bout. The success
of women's boxing could
hang ln the ~alance.
In a ·game with precious
few marquee names, the two
biggest have finally agreed
to mix it up. They've been
circling each other since
February, when Ali com·
plained women's boxing
would never grow so long as
"these girls keep ducking
each other" and then laughed
off a possible matchup
against Martin this way:
"She's slow, short and any
weight that she would put on
would be fat."
From the sound of that
bite, some people would
argue Ali already knows all
she needs ·to about how to
hurt a girl. Boxing insiders
aren't so sure. Most agree
this could be the fight that
validates her credentials,
even more than her entertaining and ultimately successful slugfesl against Joe
Frazier's daughter, Jacqui
Frazier-Lyde.
"I said when Laila got into
the business, her name alone
would lift the profile of the
whole sport," said promoter
Rick Kulis, who run s the
International Female Boxers
Association.
"Unfortunately, with tha(
kind of recognition , came
high
expectations.
Fortunately, lhe people who
handled her did a good job
training her and picking
their spots. But (his will be a
fight - a real fight.
"Anybody who's seen
Christy knows that. I can't
say if the animosity at the
new s conference
was
staged, but believe me,
Christy is going to be a genuinely disagreeable opponent," Kulis conlinued . "She
is not going to give up her
place as the No. . I female
boxer in the world without
. putting up a very good
fight."'
Say what you will about
women's
boxing, and
whether trash-talking and
pre-fight fights represent a
new low for an enterprise
some would argue couldn 't
go any lower. The only thing
fans are arguing about is
whether thi s fight happened
soon enough.
At 25, Ali will step into
the ring at a Gulfport, Miss.,
. casi no some nine years
younger, six inches taller
and 30 pounds heavier. At
15-0 with 12 knockouts,
she's also endured barely a
third of the puni shment
Martin has in pounding out a
45-2-2 record.
(Jim Litke is a national
"There's no que stion sports coiumllist for The

to the beginning, but that's
the standard formu Ia for •
men's boxing, too," Kulis :
said .
"And I'd remind people.
from a pbysical perspective,
it's not much different from
Lennox Lewi s fighting
Mike Tyson."
But that's not the only
way the comparison is apt.
Like the men's heavy weight division, the entire
sport of women's boxing
suffers from a lack of credible opponents. Roy Jones,
who began as a mtd· ·.
dleweight, has been the ..
hottest name on the men's .
side becau se of his willingness to step in against
heavyweights in search of a
good fight. Because every
weight class in women's
boxing is tliin, the best fighters face similar dilemmas all ·
the time.'
·
Martin, whose nickname is :
"The
Coal
Miner's
Daughter," comes into her
fights weighing between
135-140 pounds. Her last
hout in December was
against Mia St. John, who, :
despite being unable to br~ak .
an egg, was 12-0 agamst
hand-picked opponents at
one point in her career and ,
splashed across the cover of
Playboy magazine.
Ali 's la~t bom . meanwhile, ..
was a re.match against
Valerie Mahfood on the
undercard of the Lewi s·
Vitali Kli.tschko fight two ·
weeks ago. The best thing ·
aboul it was how Laila man· ·
aged
to
sound
like :
Muhammad Ali in the days
leading up to that bout "I'm not carrying her this
time the way I did in the first .
fight. she is getting knocked ·
out this time" - and then
delivered like the old man
with a sixth-round knockout.
There is prec ious little
about women's boxing that
could be called "poignant,"
but this bout meets even that
standard.
Ali was running a nail '
salon in southern California ,
a few years ago when she ,
saw her firsl women's box ing match. She had no mas_ter plan, nothing more than a
bit of curiosity when she
luned into a Tyson pay -perview bout and fou nd herself
fascinated by the undercard.
As she watched Martin
dispatch one in a string of
facele ss opponent s, Ali
knew in a hear!beat what she
wanted lo do nex t with her ·
life. She sold her business
soon after. Since then, there
has been the photos and sto- ·
rie s
in
Vogue
and
Cosmopolitan, the appear·
ances on the "Todav Show"
and
"Good
Mo~ning
America."
Ali has become the face of .
her Sport , not a bad thing for ·
someone who could seg ue
smoothly into a modeling
career. But this is one
instance where good looks
and a sharp tongue won '1
count for much unless ·she's
got a punch to back it all up .

Likewi se, Berry decided to quit football
after getting religion, only to find a holy

"I 'was set free from worshipping a false

wrong with wanting to play football. It was
wrong to put it in first place."
Adam Helton, a 28-year-old Nashville real

"I like football. This is helpful in getting

Steckel, 57, says his own up-and-down

offer advice to men about keeping perspective. He's helped two teams get to the Super
Bowl as an offensive coordinator (the Titans
in 2000 and the New England Patriots in
1985), and been fired mo~ than once, including as head coach of lhe Minnesota Vikings

Paul Kariya completed a
free-agency triple play when
he said _gooobye to the
Anaheim Mighty Ducks and
reunited with Teemu Selanne
on the Colorado Avalanche.
Kariya was di sappointed
not to get the qualifymg offer
he wanted from the Western
Conference champion Mighty
Ducks on Monaay, so he
made the most of h1s surprising unrestricted free agent status on Thursday.
In one move , Kariya paired
again with Selanne, set himself up to be a free agent next
year, and found a te&lt;tm that
can give him another chance
to wm his first Stanley Cup.
"When we both became
free agents, we made a hockey decision," Kariya said.
"We both said, ' Forget about
the money, where 's the place
we want to J'lay?' And
Colorado jumpe out at both
of us immediately. So we
made things work monetarily."
Kariya signed a $1.2 million deal w1th Colorado that
puts him under the league
average and lets him become
an unrestricted free agent
again when the contract is up.
Normally, free agency isn't
granted until a player is 31.
'Teemu and rare absolute!~
thrilled," said the 28-year-oli:l
Kari)'a, who earned $10 million last season. "I think we
have a good chance at winninlj a Stanley Cup here and
that s why we signed here."

"When you come up with an answer, let me know," Boone

"It's a nice problem to have. It's much better than the alternative - two outfielders and you're looking for a third. If you

Guillen has started 50 of the Reds' 84 gam.es, taking advantage of Griffey's injuries and Boone's preference for resting

When Griffey returned from his shoulder injury in May,
duillell was unhappy about returning to the bench and

Castell noted that one of the major
problems his unit deals with is the frequent use of drugs or alcohol by boaters
who flaunt the rules of boating safety by
excessive drinking that impairs their,ability to handle a craft, and complaints from
fishermen about being harassed by people
on Jet Skis, who deliberately steer very
close to their boats or lines in the water.
The speaker pointed out that the
Coast Guard also performs safety

The center is open from 10

Inside the open and airy
building, visitors encounter a
15-foot tall "jar battery" featuring original 100-year-old
blown glass jars used to fertilize the fish eggs.
The jars would be filled
with eggs milked from female
fish, which were then fertilized. One quart jar would
contain more than 137,500
walleye eggs with each egg
having a survival rate· of one
in 10,000 according to
Petrasek, who previously had
a 30-year career in ·fishery

and

enforcement.
Once hatched, the fry were
separated from the unhatched
eggs and after reaching a predetermined size, transported
for release into lakes and
streams.
Besides walleye, perch and
lake whitefish were hatched
there.
"During its time, this hatchery produced 67 million fry,"
Mrs. Petrasek said.

'Operation E&amp;T' continues
COLUMBUS Ohio
wildlife officials continue to
issue summonses to individuals in and out of the State
of Ohio as part of a multistate effort launched on
June 28 to crack down on
the illegal sale and possession of endangered reptiles
and amphibians.
The Ohio portion of the
multi-state
enforcement
action has so far resulted in
153 charges being filed
against 28 individuals,
ijCcording to the . Ohio
Depart'ment of Natural
Resources (ODNR).
State and federal wildlife
officials titled the investigation "Operation E&amp;T" in
reference to its efforts to
protect endan~ered and
thre~tened wildhfe species.
Results of the investigation have been forwarded to
the
llppropriate · U.S.
Altorney's Office for possible future federal charges.
The undercover investiga;· -·

tion by the ODNR Division
of Wildlife was conducted
in cooperation with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
and the departments of natural resources in the states
of Michigan, Pennsylvania
and Indiana.
·
, The cooperative investigation, .initiated from public
complaints, focused on the
illegal sale of native reptiles
and amphibians in Ohio and
surrounding states.
"It is impor.t ant that
Ohioans continue to be able
to enjoy our state's wildlife
diversity,"
said
Law
Enforcement
Supervisor
James Quinlivan of the
ODNR
Division
of

"It became apparent that

Strait balances traditional,
contemporary sounds

'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
- With his cow boy hat.
Texas-sized belt buckle and
plaia Western shi1ts, George
Strait isn' t exactly a de:1d
ringer for Mick Jagger.
· But before he sang country,
Strait loved British Invasion
rock by groups ·Jike the
Rolling Stones and the
Beatles and thrashed at an
electric guitar in garage
bands.
"I knew my three chords,"
the 51-year-old singer said
from his Texas ranch. "We
played ' Louie Louie' and
'Gloria."'
It was a phase that came
and went, like the lava lamp
and the pet rock . And that's
·probably a good thing .
Strait's tastes turned to Merle
Haggard and Bob Wi lis, and
he went on to sell more than
56 million records as a country artist.
His
new
album,
"Honkytonkville." tincts him
. again singing with a soulful,
sophisticated edge that helps
set his records apart. A fan of
classic pop crooners Frank
Sinatra and Bing Crosby, he·
avoids the over-the-top
twan~ of some of his contemporanes while managing to
balance traditional and contemporary styles.
"I think my voice is pretty
distinctive ,'' Strait said.
"When you hear one of my
songs on the radio, you know
it's me. I've always had that,
but it's not something I make
an effort to do. It's something
that just happened."
As for the songs, Strait has
an uncanny knack for picking
them. He 's had 38 No. 1 hits
on the Billboard charts since
he signed with MCA in 1981
- tying him with his idol
Haggard and placing him
second only to Conway
Twitty's 40 Billboard chart
toppers.
"I've always said that when
I look for material, I don't
look for traditional country
son~s," Strait said. o;l end up
cuttmg a lot of those songs
because I love them. But I'm
always looking for a good
song. one I can sing and pull
off."
His new album is a good
example. Co-produced by
Tony Brown, it contains a
dozen tracks by some of the
·genre's best writers, including Bruce Robison, Jim
Lauderdale and Dean Dillon.
The tirst single is the bluesy
':Tell Me Something Bad
About Tulsa," a Red ~ane
tune that Haggard rediirded
17 years ago.
"I had forgotten about it,"
Strait said of the son~.

Maybe the 2004 Chrysler
Crossfire should be called the
Chrysler Pheromone.
Let's see, there was the guy
at the pet supply store who had
to know all about this !JeW,
SpPrty. two-seater dunng my
test dnve.
·
And the fellow in the Dodge
V1per who slowed down his
super sports car so I could
pass, giving him a closer look
at the Crosstire.
· My favorite was the man
driving a $3W,OOO Bentley
who followed me into the
bank parking lot.
"Nice Bentley," 1said to him
as I got out of the Crossfire.
·'Nice cur you have there what is it'?" he responded.
And just like that, I was
chatting with the owner of a
$350,000 Bentley.
· The Crossfire: the new halocar for Chrysler with a starting
manufacturer's
suggested
retail price. including destination charge, of $34,495, sure is
an attraction.
People seem drawn to the its
sty ling. which includes a
broad Mercedes-Benz-like
hood and squat boat-tail rear
end set off by big, 19-inch rear
tires. (Front wheels and tires
are 18 inches.)
Not a single person who
came lo ask about the
Crossfire guessed it was a
Chrysler. though.
But then. the Crossfire doesn't loek like a Chrysler.
And truth be told, this
snazzy two-seater that competes with the likes of the Audi
TT and Nissan 350Z gets as
many as 40 percent of its components and much of its engineering from Chrysler's parent
company, DaimlerChrysler.
DaimkrChrysler also is the
parent company for Mercedes.
For example, the Crossfire
test car felt more like a
Mercedes than a Chrysler. The
ride was sophisticated - firm,
but ·not stiff or harsh, even
over typical road bumps and the Crossfire didn' t seem
to sway or lean in any aggres-

on our measures of picture
quality, ease of use and
setup factors. (Sound quality was also a consideration,
and all the tested models
provided serviceable sound,
whether through their builtin speakers or vi~ headphones.) Rated "good"
overall. the $375 RCA
BLV552 console VHS player scored somewhat lower
than its brandmate in picture quality, but was easy to
use.
Of the bagged models, we
can recommend only one:
the Audiovox VBP-3000, a
VHS . player. Pricey (a t
$600) and harder to set up
than a console, it has two
detachable screens but provides merely "fair" picture
quality. Poor picture quality,
meanwhile, doomed its
brandmate.
the
$400
Audiovox VBP-4000 DVD
player.
New portable DVD and
YHS players are coming on
the market all the time. We
don't expect prices to go
down much anytime soon,
so if you ' re interested, take
the plunge now.

Jllso find the screen too
close.
• If you have a minivan or
SUV with one or two rows
of captain's chairs in the
back - or if you generally
have more than two viewers
- choose a bagged system.
In these, the player hangs
from the back of the fr.ont
seat or buckles onto a backseat with a safety belt, acting like a console. The 5inch screen (or pair · of
screens) .can hang on the
back of the seat or between
the seats with the player, or
can be detached and set up
in front of viewers. Setup of
bagged models can be a
chore, since you have to
strap them securely to the
seats, and wires must run
from the bulky hanging
player to the cigarettelighter outlet and to the

I also found it difficult to
back out of a parking space in
the Crossfire because the pillars beside the rear window
obscure a lot of the rear-side
VIeW.
Still, it was a relief at the air:
port to see 7.6 cubic feet of
cargo space under the
Crossfire's handsome rear liftgate. The space easily handled
two small-to-medium suitcas-es and a computer bag, with.
room left for more.

smallish side windows, can
convey a cramped feeling.
But I' m not complaining.
The attention this car brought
was worth it.
Chrysler said it looks to sell .
some 11 ,000 Crossfires in the~
United States a year.
Automaker officials expect
55 percent of buyers to be
men. Most will be married,
between the ages of 35 and 50.
and with average annual
. household income of more:
than $ 150,000. Sixty percent .
will have college degrees.
The Crosstire, officials say,
is likely going to be a second
vehicle in the household.
There's no data on reliability and crash tests for this an- :
new model yet. And there
have been no safety recalls of
the Crossfire. which began
U.S. sales in June.
Competitors such as the
Audi TT and Nissan 350Z are
offered as convertibles as weii
as coupes. But Chrysler offers~
only the hardtop Crossfire and
hasn't revealed plans for a
future open-top version.
Lastly, the Crossfire, which
comes well ~equipped, isn't
bargain priced.
It' starting price is highe~
than the $33,145 for the 2003"
Audi 1T and the $26,910 for
the 2003 Nissan 350Z.

ter telling me how bad it is

Postmodern design goes to great lengths ~o satisfy ·
Plan ·APWB-1 i2 goes to
great lengths -literally - to
provide a functional residence
within a medium-size home.
Most features are contained
in the nearly l 00-foot-Iong
firsr floor. Hallways are absent
here. Open spaces accommodate an easy flow from room
to room (or area to area). The
large U-shape kitchen aligns
to the dining room and provides quick access to the TV
niche. Down the line is the
master bedroom suite.
At the opposite end of the
· main floor is a large dining and
living room area. A patio is
centered off both rooms. This
area features two large window
arrangements; one stacked, the
other a solid wall of glass.
·Two bedrooms are located
upstairs. A shared bath abuts a
study loft that overlooks the
living room, although the
center bedroom would work
ideally as an office or art studio. The exterior facing mixes
masonry, wood and"stucco.

Tip of the week: Hit
the nail on the head
If you've ever used a hammer, you are likely to b~
fa miliar with , the " ouch!"
utterance and the pain associated with whacking your
thumb instead of the nai I.
This can occur with great frequency when one works with
tmy nails (brads). Many
brads are so small that they
disappear between the finger
and thumb when IJeld ready
, for the hammer. Ah, but there
is an answer that is safe if you
are reasonably well-coordinated. To drive a tiny brad
with a big hammer and not
whack ¥our thumb, use a
bobby -pm as a nail hOlder, or
finger extension. A bobby-

pin will protect your precious
appendages while allowing
easy contact with the brad.

"Higher education tends to
be the balancing well in state
budgets, and that is continuing to some extent"
After losing hundreds of
millions of dollars in spending cuts during the past two
years, public colleges and
universllies received an
increase of less than I percent
- or $2.44 billion - in the
budget year that began
Tuesday and less· than 2 per-

cent - or $2.48 billion the following year.
The budget also limits
tuition increases to 6.percent;
but allows another 3. 9 percent boost if that money goes
to technology upgrades or
scholarships for needy stu·
dents.
Lawmakers said higher
education was one of the few
areas that saw gains in the
budget.
"We're now positioned to
come out of the next two

years with a continued focus ·
for higher education in the
future," said Sen. Jeff
Jacobson , a Dayton-area
Republican who helped put
together the budget.
Lawmakers also said the
state is making investments
in higher education outside of
the stale operating budget.
"When the dollars aren' t
there, there are other creative
ways of showin~ our support," said Rep. Jtm Hughes,
a Republican from Columbus

who leads the House higher
education subcommittee.
He said that much of the
capital budget is dedicated to
lhe state's colleges and universities and that the state has
begun awarding research and
development grants for Gov.
Bob Taft's Third Frontier
program. ·
Petrick said the system is
trying to cope with a marginal budget increase while

as unconventional pastor
BY BRIAN

. M-IDDLEPORT
A
church pastor .on a HarleyDavidson motorcycle, wearing shorts and sandals, may
not be the typical image of a
small-town minister, but
that's all right with Chris
Stewart, who is leading a different kind of church in
Middleport arid Athens.
Stewart is a Middleport
native, the son of Mike and
Sharon Stewart, and after
spending several years as a
youth pastor in Waverly, St.
Louis, Mo., and Wauseon,
returned to Southeastern Ohio
- on a mission.
''While in St. Louis, my wife,
April, and I decided we wanted
to plant churches," Stewart said.
"But we knew we wanted to
start a different kind of church."
The church the Stewarts
envisioned was "casual, laid
back, and comfortable."
But it wasn't until a trip
home to Meigs County for
family Christmas that Stewart
decided to return here to start
that church. In Wauseon, he
pastored at the Oasis Christian
Fellowship, a modern house
of worship which emphasizes
contemporary music, and he
gave his new Athens church
the same name.
Now, two years later, a second
congregation is thriving in his
old fiometown of Middleport.
The congregations meet separately during the week (the
Middleport congregation meets
in his parents' home, the Athens
group in another private home).
On Sundays, the congregations
join together at the Legion
Annex in Middleport.
To supplement the family
income. Stewart taught language arts in the Ea~tern Local
School District last year, but
won't be returning this year,
choosing instead to serve,
a~ain, as a full-time pastor to
hts growing congregation.
"I have no regrets aboul
coming back home," Stewart
said. "A burden has been lift·
ed off my shoulders and I
think there are great things to
come for our churcl\ here."

Chris Stewart, pastor of·Oasis Christian Fellowship, doesn"t
fit the image of the run-of-the-mill min ister - and that's OK
with him. Stewart's chu rch emphas ises worship services in a
casual, comfortable setting.
