According .to the com- Commission and they reached a point where they couldn't get anyone to work for them any more and walked off the job," Buckley said. The district hired Wesam Construction, which was doing other construction work for the district, to finish the job. As a result, the school district incurred nearly $1.9 million in additional expenses . . . Buckley said the district approached Greenwich Insurance Company, which provided insurance coverage for Riverside Masonry, and asked it to pay for the cost overuns that were the result of its client defaulting on the job. Greenwich refused to pay and the district filed suit against them and Riverside Masonry. B&D Ready Mix of Hamden and · Exline Surveying of Jackson were also named as defendants. .

GALLIPOLIS - Severe hearing loss since childhood didn't stop one local man from following the dream of serving his country. Sgt. Jake Robson, originally of Rio Grande, joined the United States Army in 1999 after he received a special waiver to enlist. "When he went for his military physical, he failed the first time and was told he wouldn't be able to enlist." said Linda Howard, Robson's aunt "But his recruiter made it happen for him.". Robson, a 1992 graduate of Southwestern High School, is now ;Serving m Baghdad, Iraq, where he has been stationed since April. "He has always wanted to be in the military and plans on making a career out of 'it," Ho wa rd added. T h e cause of Robson ' s he a r i n g loss is hereditary and degenerati ve, so it will continue to get worse until Robson he eventually loses it completely. He presently suffers from 70 percent loss in one ear and 65 percent loss in the other. Robson's 9-year-old son, Jacob, has also shown signs of hearing loss, Howard said. "He is hoping that his performance in the military will be good enough that they won't make him retire when he loses all of his hearing," she added. Currently, Robson is on the front lines, working with Scud and Patriot missiles. "He's lemned to adapt, and he does really well," Howard said. "He is pretty good at reading lips and he speaks very well. He's right in the thick of things right now, but he can't talk about what's going on there. The last time we talked to him he said it wa~ 150 degrees during the day and 110 degrees at ni~ht, and moral was pretty low. 'We try to stay in contact with him as much as possible." Howard said. "Between me, his mother, our dad and his wife. he gets packages every other week. He told us that there's no such thing as too much mail." Robson 's mother, Kathy Gilbert. his sister, Jennifer, and his brother, Michael, live in Thurman. Robson, his wife Carolyn, and their children, Jacob and 19-month-old EmilY., make their home at Fort Stll, Okla.

"It is so close and so immediate, so much shock involved," said Gregor)' Miller, dean of the graduate program at Rio Grande. Roark had just been on a trip to Wales with Miller in June and was in good spirits. Roark had recently focused his incredible energy into the graduate program.

Sunday, August 31, 2003 Framing the kids Eons ago when I was a littie kid, I dreaded this time of year because school was about to start. You see, unlike many tykes today, I hated school. I loathed going there and having tb work my butt off. I wanted my self-esteem to be considered. I wanted social promotion. I wanted nurturing and understanding. But; nooooo, all I got was more homework. My grammar school class at St. Brigid·s school on Long Island was packed: 60 stu dents and one small nun with a large ruler. Here 's a joke. How can you tell a male who attended Catholi c school : one earlobe is longer than the other. The nuns used my ri~ht earlobe like a slot machme handle . Did I mention my self-esteem was affected ? But by the second grade, all 60 kids in Sister Claudia's class could read, write and do basic math. We al so understood that we would go to hell if we got out of line. That didn•t deter me much, but most of my classmates appeared nervous by the prospect of Hades. . The result of this kind of education was literacy and a basic kind of di scipline. We had to perform . We had to learn . There was no other choice. And we were all working -class kids with par- · Bill O'Reilly ents who cared but were exhausted and had lit tle inclination to micromanage their kids as many parents do today. So I learned at St. Brigid's, despite being dense and surly. In fact, I was a member of the "dumb row:' But even the ··dumb rowers·· knew the state capitals. Can you imagine a teache r imposing a "dumb row" conce pt today ? Maybe in North Korea. Each year in America there is another school controversy, and this season it \ placing cameras in school class rooms and hallways to watch both students and teachers. They are doing thi s in Biloxi, Miss .. and offi cials down there say it has cut down on bad behav ior and even bad teaching. As a former hi gh sc hool teacher, I, at first, opposed the camera idea. Bi g brother and all that. But then I rethought, and now I am on board for one big reason: Hav ing the ~ ca mera eye in pu blic pl aces will ac tu ally protect children from bullymg and pu t teachers on notice that they had better do their job. The video ends all ··he said. she said .. di scussio ns. School bullying is o ut of co nt ro l in the USA . According to the National Institute of Child Health and Development, 16 perce nt of Ameri can students say they have bee n seriously bullied in school. Of course that can destroy a kid' s childhood if it's allowed to go on tor any length of time. Just hav ing a high -tec h hall m o nlto~ that mi ght di scourage th1 s kmd ol vio le nce is enou gh to end orse the school camera idea. Interestin gly. some conse rvativ es don 't like the cameras. They say it doesn•t sol ve the "roo( problem of poor behavior by students. Well. here's a clue for the righti sts. nothing will solve the root problem of bad behavior on the part of some kids. Unfortunately. by the time some childre n arri ve at school they have bee n so damaged by their parents or environment in general that th ey are walkin g mi sde meanors who infl ict tremendou s damage on other kids. If cam era s in the halls and class roo ms can pinpoint those troubled kids in a hurry, may be the system can get them some help. Many teac hers union s also oppose the camera s, and this is insane. Teac hers need every bit of documentation on disruptive students. But the uni ons have always fought performance account ability for teachers •. ahdth at's what thi s oppos1t1on IS all about, as the ca meras would record how well the teac hers actuall y teach. . I wish I had some VIdeotape of'Sister Claudia's classroom. If I did. she'd probabl y be serving time in Stng Sing. But I would go visit her, because she taught me a lot. But somebody should pay for the earlobe thing.

" He was very creati ve. multifaceted. He had an inc redible passion for music and thea ter. He co uld have been a mu sic major. a n education major or a commu nications major.

He had been largely respon- sible fo r the local pe rformances of "My Fair Lady" and "Fiddler on the Roof," but he worked on countless productions. He recent lent his talents to the Welsh musical, "Tyn Rhos" set for Oct. 9-10 at the college. "We miss Ed a lot," said Dr. Gregory Sojka, provost and vice presiqent for academic affairs. "Hi s life was his work . Ed was the kind of guy th at didn' t think of himself " Roark did not want anything fo r himself. He thought only of ihe university and the students. It was his wish that upon his death contributions be made to the Merlin G. Ross Scholarship Fund . Connie McNerlin worked with Roark since she started worl~in g at th e sc hool in 1981. She re membered he was here with Merlin Ross and Leo Hill. Now McNerlin is the las t le ft of the fine and performing arts staff that was there when she started. "Ed the personalit y.

Except of course the public . The public, shrewdly, pays no attention to presidential politics until all of the peripheral dorks have been weeded out . and it's finally time to make a selection between the two main dorks left over. So what DOES the public care about right now ? Telemarketers. The public hates them. It hates them even more than it hates France, low-flow toilets, or "customer service." We know thi s because recently the Federal Trade Commi ssion, implementing the most popular federal concept since the Elvis stamp, created the National Do Not Call Registry. The way it works is, if you are a member of that select group of people (defin ed as " people with phones") who do not wish to receive unsolicited calls from telemarketers, you can go to www.donotcall.gov and register your pho ne number. Starting Oct. I, any telemarketer who call s you will be locked in a tiny room with a large, insatiabl e man who will force the telemarketer, repeatedly, at all hours of the day and ni ght, to change hi s long-distance provider. No, sorry, that was the original concept. But the law is pre tty strict: For each call to a registered num ber, telemarketers face an $ 11 ,000 Dave Barry fine. This program is a huge hit with the public. Already 30 million Ameri can households have registered; this fi gure would be even higher if it included all the Florida residents who tried to register but accidentally voted for Patri ck Buchan an instead. And how has the te lemarketing industry responded to thi s tidal wave of public hosti Iity ? It has iss ued this statement: "Gosh, if these people really don't want us to call them, then there's no point in our calling them ! We 'd onl y be making them hate us more, and that's just plain stupid ! We 'll try to co me up with a less offensive way to do business." No. wait, that' s what the telemarketers would say in Bizarro World, where everythin g is bac kward, and Superman is bad, and te lem arkete rs co nt a in hum an D NA. Here on Earth, the telemarketers are claiming they have a constitutional right to call people who do not want to be called. They base th is claim on Artic le VX, Section ii i, row 5,, seat 2, of th e U.S. Constitution, which states: "If anybody ever invents the telephone, Congress shall pass no law prohibiting salespeople from usi ng it to interrupt dinner." Leadin g the charge for the telemarketing industry is the Ameri can Teleserv ices Assoc iatio n (suggested motto: "Some Day, We Will Get a Dictionary and Look Up 'Services' "). Thi s group argues that, if its members are prohibited from calling people who do not want to be called, then 2 million telemarketers will lose their jobs. Of course , yo u could use pretty much the same reasoning to argue that laws against mugg ing cause un e mployment among muggers. But that wotlld be unfair. Muggers rare ly int rude in to your home. So what 's the answer'! Is th ere a co nstituti onal way th at we telephone customers can have our peace, without inconveniencing the people wh"se livelihoods depend on keeping their legal right to inconveni ence us? Maybe we could pay the telemarketing indu stry not to call us, kind of like payi ng " protec'tion money" to organi zed crime. Or niaybe we co uld actually hire organ ized crime to explain our position to telemarketing-industry exec utives, who would then be give n a fair opportun ity to respo nd. while the cement was harde ning. I' m j ust think ing out loud here. I' m sure you have a be tter idea for how we can resolve our differences with the telemarketing industry. If you do, call me. Nu, wait, I have a better idea: Call the American Te leservices Association, toll -free . at 877779- 3974, and tell them what you think , I'm sure they' d love to hear your .constitu tionally protected views! Be sure to wipe your mouthpiece afterw ard. In closing, here's an: IMPORTANT REMINDER - Mark your calendar with a big "X" 'on Sept. 19, which is the second annual National Talk Like A Pirate Day. This is the day whe n everybody is supposed to talk like a pirate for very solid reasons (see www.talklikeapirate.com). Last ytJar, the first Nuti onal Talk Like a Pirate Day was a huge success, as measured by the number of messages on my answeri ng machine consisting enti re ly of peo ple goi ng "Arrrrr." So if yo u're feeling depressed - if you think the world is in te rr~pl e shape, and one person like yourself can' t make a di fference re member thi s: You're right. So you might as well talk like a pirate. It 's easy! For example, when you answer the phone, instead of " Hello," you say "Ahoy !"

Why Bobaflex for a name? Shaun said that much like its music, it's something new. "The name wasn't as important as the music," Shaun said. "Nobody had ever heard a name like that before, it was original and it was familiar to us." From the start, Bobaflex built a repertoire of new songs matched with strong melody and a driving beat. Marty said being a cover band might have helped them at first, but wouldn't have set them apart from the crowd. The group's songs stray from the familiar themes of broken romances and teenage/young adult angst coming from the artist's perspective. Bobaflex vrefers to tell someone else s story - "It's more escapist," Marty saidand delves into the realm of science fiction, futurism and speculation as part of its musical mosaic. "How many songs do you hear about losing your girlfriend?" Shaun asked. "I think people get tired of hearing it. I never had those experiences.

With last week's release of the 10-song compact disc "Primitive Epic" by Eclipse Records, Bobaflex is poised to storm the doors of a com• petitive market and build on the fan base it's created with a hard-driving rock sound. It's that sound that's put Bobaflex in demand around the country, a musical mix forged from the creative talents of its five members, hard work and a lot of preparation.

Friday's win niarked the fifth straight in the series; GAHS has now outscored the Hornets 248-28 dating back to 1999. Coal Grove brought a very young squad to Memorial Field and was simply overmatched by a bigger, faster and more experienced team. Freshmen and sophomores accounted for 22 of the 36 players on the Hornet roster. · The senior-led Devils used a fast start to quickly distance themselves in a week-I win over Meigs. and that was a priority again for GAHS coach Matt Bokovitz on Friday. "We want to come out and play as hard as we can right off the bat." he said . "And try to deliver a K.O. shot if we can." Mission accomplished. · . The. Devils found the end zone every time they touched the ball in the tirst half including the first play from scrimmage, a 62-yard touchdown run by quarterback Donnie Johnson.

"We came out kind of sluggish at first and we made a few mental errors," said Eastern coach Pat Newland . ."Then we had the lightning delay and that actually helped us.'' · Newland described the interruption as a "gift from god."

The game was delayed for over two hours in the second period due to lightning with the Bulldogs holding a 27-0 lead. The teams went to the locker rooms and most of the crowd headed out of the stadium as lightnin~ and heavy rain pounded The . Plams. Only a handful of die hard :football fans remained after the delay :with rain falling during most of the second half. Tailback Chris Hewitt powered the Bulldog offense rushing for 227 yards on just 13 carries while scoring .on runs of 2 and 70 yards and haul: ing in a 28 yard touchdown pass Raiders from Page 81 :slew of Buckeyes were in :wait. The junior returner, ·though, broke away from the potential tackle and cut left as he broke a couple of more tackles before taking off for :the 95-yard return and score. · "I misjudged the ball at the :beginning," said Nibert. "I :went to the right and dido 't see anything then I turned to the left and it was all open field so I just took off. . "Arthur Weitzel made a good block for me to break loose and score." Nibert's efforts quickly returned momentum of the game back in River Valley's favor. "It was extremely important," said Dee! of Nibert's kickoff return. "It was probably the key of the game." The Buckeyes had the ball a couple of more times deep into River Valley territory. 'The firs• came off a Graham fumble on the Raider fumble, but two plays later, River Valley 's Justin Hudnall recovered a Jay Edwards fumble at the 22.

"Bryan (Minear) and Terry (Durst), both ran hard and . blocked well for each other," · said Newland. "They are two very unselfish backs." Eastern's final touchdown would not have been possible without a big )lass play between 1qujl11er&ack Ken Amsbary and receiver Chris Myers. Newland said of Amsbary, "We didn't throw the ball a lot tonight, but he was mentally in the game." The senior signal caller found Myers on a fourth and from quarterback Grant Gregory. Gregory also contributed greatly to the Bulldog offense by scoring on runs of eight and 51 yards. Gregory connected on 4-of-4 passes for 72 yards while rushing for 60 yards on four tries. The Bulldogs won the toss and elected to receive and wasted little time getting their offense in gear, on the games fir~t play Gregory ran to the option play to perfection, pitching to Hewm who raced 44 yards to the Meigs 25 yard line, only a touchdown saving tackle by Adam Wi se kept the speedy Hewitt out of the end zone. Four plays later Hewitt found the end zone from two yards out and the Bulldogs led 6-0. The Marauders were unable to generate any offense in the first quarter running 12 plays in the period for only five yards . Athens however continued to hit on all offensive cylinders. After a 39 yard Doug Dill punt the Bulldogs went 72 yards in seven plays with Gregory connecting with Hewitt down the middle for a 28 yard score. Jared Wren added the extra point for a 13-0 lead.

The Raiders opened the game with a 14-play drive that resulted in a 1-yard TO run by Josh Wamsley. A 78-yard pass from Graham to Rice on the Raiders' following drive put the Raiders on the Buckeye 3, but the Nelsonville goal line defense kept River Valley out of the endzone. "Riley did an excellent job tonight." said Graham. "I wouldn't have another receiver. He's one of the best receivers I've ever had. I know I can depend on him." River Valley did score late in the first half as Rice picked off a Edwards ~ pass and returned it 39 yards to the Buckeye 3 as Graham proceeded to run it in for the score. The Raiders return to action Friday as they travel to Meigs.

The Symmes Valley Vikings (2- 0) capitialized on two early Tornado turnovers and cruised to a 43-6 win on the loser's field. "Early on, we turned the ball over twice that led to scores and it really took the wind out of our sails even though we had played well in spots." explained Southern coach Dave Barr. " But .take · nothing away from them, they're a fine ballclub. " Southern fumbled the ball on awl\y the first play from scrimmage. setting Symmes Valley up on the Tornado 22-yard line, from where they eventually scored. Later in the first quarter, a fumble on a punt return set the Viking s up with another short field. The winners spent most of the first half on the Southern half of the 50; the result was a 41-0 halftime edge. Lightning delayed the game for over an hour, with gave Southern some more time to regroup . "We had an hour delay due to the storm. we spent some time on the chalk-' board getting some things adjusted and fi guring out a way to ge t a little offense going," Barr explained. "It was one of those odd situations where we had plenty of time to talk our way through what we were going to do ." ~ • I ., " .. ..t;. ' • It was time well spent.

The scoring play was a 23-yard Phil Pierce quarterback keeper. and came around the sixminute mark. "The kid s really brought into what we wanted to try and do. We put together a nice drive and Phil capped it with a nice run on the keeper." Overall , coach Barr beleives that hi s team is improving, de spite so me injuries to key players. " I thought that, in gereral. our intensity in the game was better than it was the week before and there wa s some definate improvement in our persuit and tackling," he said. " We have to . get to the point where we don ' t make mistakes," he continued . "At some point I think we can become a dangerous ball club." Southern will travel to South Galli a ( 1- 1) next Friday for a non-conference match-up. The Rebels will be coming off a 42-6 win over Green. CENTENARY - A strong effort by Gallia Academy kept Saturday's soccer match with Athens close in the tirst half. but the Blue Devils ran out of gas. · The Bulldogs led 2-0 at intermission but scored four times in the second half to pitch a 6-0 shutout of the host Devils. "We were proud of the way we played in the first half." said GAHS coach Dave Reymond. "We were looking for 40 min ute s of solid soccer out of the team, and I thought we got that." Athens improves to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League . GAHS remains winless on the year. falling to 0-4 and 0-2 in the SEOAL. "Basically we accomplished our goals · today." added Reymond. "One of our goals is to become competitive, and we 're getting Devils from Page 81 was. a 15-yard completion to Tom Bose that gave the Devils a comfortable 28-0 lead at the end of the first stanza. Johnson was, however. shaken up on a play midway through the second quarter; he left the game and did not return. '.'Donnie took a little shot there and we had to get him out of the game for the rest of the half," said Bokovitz. "He's going to be okay." Sophomore . receiver Shaphen Robinson, who returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. also left the game with an injury. Coach Bokovitz said he re-injured an ankle that he hurt over the summer. "We' II get him looked at and evaluated (Saturday) morning, he said. "We need him back as soon as we can." Also having a nice game for the Devils was senior running back Mike Davis. Davis tin- there one game at a time." Athens claimed a 1-0 lead on a goal by lan Molott at the 33-minute mark of the first half, then added one more before the break. With 16:48 remaining. Nathan Kridler took a shot from near midfield . The ball cleared the le aping goalkeeper, hit the left post and bounced in . In the second half. the depth , conditioning and fundamentally sound play of the Bulldogs took over. "They took us out of our shape, then we were having to ru11 more than we should have," explained Reymond . "They chase the ball because they are young , and when they chase the ball. they ' re going to run down." An obviously fatigued GAHS team allowed lour goals over the last 25 minutes. · Rex McKinni ss faced 37 shots in goal and came away with 2 1 saves for the Gall ia Academy's Eric Taylor (9) battles Devils. for the ball versus Athens Saturday. ished with 44 yards on just four carries and a pair of scores. He was also on the receiving end of a 33-yard Johnson swing pass. Johnson 's replacement at QB, backup Andre Geiger, had several big offensive plays negated because of penalties. as well as a 50-yard interception return for touchdown on the defensive side of the ball. "We have to get rid of these unnecessary penalties," said Bokovitz . "That 's something that could hurt us later on." GAHS committed l 0 penalties on the night resulting in the loss of I09 yards. Geiger still made his share of big plays though; of the two passes he threw, both went fm · touchdowns. The tirst was a 53-yard bomb to a wide open Cody Caldwell, and the second. a 37-yard pitch and catch with Jake Bodimer to close out the tirst half scoring. Galli a Academy took a comfortable 48-0 lead into intermission and rested the first string in the second half. Coal Grove left many of its starters in and was able to post 14 points in the fourth quarter. "We're a pretty experienced team," said Bokovitz. "But we really don't know how good we are yet. We're going to find out sooner or later." They will find out sooner than later. The Ironton Fighting Tigers will pay a visit to the Old French City next Friday. Two factors could have an impact on next week's gamr. The Devils have won very easily in its tirst two games, and the starters have seen only limited action due to the lopsided scores. But coach Bokovitz is only worrying about what happens this week in practice and next Friday night. "We're going to play the schedule that we have, we ' re not going to worry about rather that hurts us or not," he explained. "What's going to matter is what happens come 7:30 next week, how well we play each and every play and tf we can take it to them like we think we can." Ironton (2-0) will be coming off a 60-0 thrashing of South Point.

After half-time, it was much of the same as lhe Point Pleasant offense continued to depend heavily on Mattox's running ability, causing Ripley to commit up to nine defenders to stopping the junior running back. However, Mattox could not be denied and gave the Big blacks a chance to score by bouncing off one tackler and running downtield for a big 53 yard gain . Unfortunately, the drive stalled at the 20 yard line and Ripley took over on downs. As the fourth ·quarter began, time was starting to run out for the Big Blacks and the offense had to move the ball. Point Pleasant finally put a nice drive together midway through the fourth quarter when a shon punt from Ripley gave the Big Blacks first and ten from the Ripley 25 yard line. Mattox immediately took advantage with a 21 yard run straight up the middle for a tirst down at the four yard Jibe. From there, Point Pleasant continued to pound the ball until Nathan Moore found his way into the endzone with a two yard run that decreased the lead 10 four points. After a failed two point conversion and 5:27 left on the clock, Point 1 h Pleasant's on y . ope was to force a quick punt from the Ripley and then move down the field as quickly as possible. Everything appeared lo be going according to plan as Ripley faced third and long with 3:30 remaining, but the Vikings threw on third down for a 16 yard gain and a first down that seriously jeopardized the Big Blacks hope for a comeback. The Big Blacks defense forced yet another third down on the next series, but Ripley convened again with a 22 yard run that put the gan1e away.

Jimmy Jordan and James Markham applied the /ressure all night and droppe Melhorn in the endzone to give the Big Blacks a safety and an early 2-0 lead. However, Billings was lost for the rest of the game on the ensuing kickoff and the Big Blacks offense struggled to get first downs. Fullback Nathan Moore picked up some of the slack, gaining 54 yards on II carries, but Point Pleasant was forced to punt the ball away after one first down. "Moore was injured early, but came back and had a great second half," said Safford.

"Losing Billings early was a big blow because he's a big part of offense, as well as our starting satety," said head coach Steve Safford. This put a lot of pressure on some of the younger Big Blacks players who were pushed into acllon, but fortunately they rose to the occasion and Point Pleasant was in the game all of the wav until the final whistle. Sophomore quarterback Justin Sheline started his first varsity game and had the usual jitters that go along with it.

He had just signed Emmitt Smith and was announcing it to the national media attending the NFL meetings in Phoenix . "I feel like we've. finallY, acquired a marquee player, ' he said. "This is one of our biggesi days since we moved to Arizona." Well ... at least ticket sales are up, about all that can be expected from signing the 34year-old running back who last season became the NFL's career rushing leader, but clearly is on the downside of his career. Nobody is supposed to be forever bad in the NFL Nine teams have taken the last 10 Super Bowl slots, and with revenue sharing and the salary cap, everyone's supposed to have a chance to get there - except, it seems, the Bengals and Cardinals_ After appearing in the Super Bowls after the 1981 'and 1988 seasons, when the late Paul Brown was running the team, the Bengals have had the worst record in the NFL: 5513 7 since their last playoff season in 1990. Long term, Arizona is worse - one playoff victory since winnin~ an NFL title in 1947, two cities ago in Chicago. Since a 31-11 stretch under Don Coryell in St. Louis from 1974-76, the Cardinals have had just four winning records and two at .500 in 28 seasons, squeezing into the playoffs in 1998 and beating Dallas in a wild-card game. The reason? Bidwill and Paul Brown 's son, Mike, who run •the two franchises, are unwilling to spend the money to improve their teams and wouldn't know how to spend it if they were willing to do so. Neither has learned the lessons critical for an NFL owner: Get out of the way and hire someone competent to run your team. Dallas' Jerry Jones finally 'figured that out this year when he hired Bill Parcells. But at least he has a history of success from hiring Jimmy Johnson back in 1989. Daniel Snyder Qlay eventually learn it in Washington, and the Ford family in Detroit is trying, although the team is 5-27 since it hired Matt Millen as president in 200 I. It can be done. For almost two decades, Tampa Bay was the benchmark for futility, losing I0 games or more for 12 straight seasons and · 13 of 14 from 1983-96. Then Rich McKay got more power as GM, brought in Tony Dungy as coaeh and the Bucs have been in .the playoffs five of the last seven years, capped by a Super Bowl victory last season. This season, there's a little hope, at least, for the Bengals. After a 2-14 season, Mike Brown hired Marvin Lewis and gave him mote power than any Cincinnati head coach since Forrest Gregg two decades ago. Lewis, who has no head coaching or front office experience, has started to generate order, and it would surprise few people if the Bengals approached .500 this season. "I don't see why he can't tum things around," Dungy, now the head coach m Indianapolis, says of 1 ~wis_ "The situation we inherited in Tampa was as bad or worse as the one he's got. There are some guys there who can play. I think he has a great chance." One major problem has been Mike Brown's quartc:rback-du;jour policy, which effectively demoralized Akili Smith, the No_ 3 overall pick in 1999_ He is now in limbo, cut this week by Green Bay. Under Brown's plan, a QB would be yanked after a bad game instead of letting him play throu~h his mistakes. "If it isn t working, I guess one option is to keep on hopins that it will work," Brown sa~ d. "Another option is to If}' something else and see if tt will work. You can argue both sides of that. "I tend to the opinion that you ought to try and see if something else can't get it going _" "I want to just smell the.playoffs. Let me correct that. I do want to smell the playoffs. But I want to bite the Super Bowl." - Former Cincinnati and current Buffalo linebacker Takeo Spfkao That's less likely to happen with Lewis running things. The Bengals who can play are led by Corey Dillon, one of the top running backs in the league for several years. He holds the single-game rushing record of 278, set three years ago against Denver. There's promise at quarterback in Carson Palmer, the Heisman Trophy winner, although veteran Jon Kitna will start. Willie Anderson is a top offensive tackle, Chad Johnson is a frrst-rate wide receiver 'and Peter Warrick could join him . But even with the arrival of Lewis, the best Bengals conlinue to leave. Linebacker Takeo Spikes fumed aside the new coach's pleas and left as a free agent to sign with Buffalo. "I want to jus1 smell the playoffs," Spikes said, adding when he arrived in Buffalo: "Let me correct that. I do wan! to smell the playoffs. But I want to bite the Super Bowl." The Cardinals never have been within sniffmg distance of the Super Bowl. After a series of awful drafts while they were in St. Louis in the '80s. the Cardinals have generally used their high draft picks well - although running back Thomas Jones, the seventh ovemll ' pick in 2000, was a bust and was dealt lo Tampa Bay this year. Jones has looked preuy good with the Bucs, typical for a Cardinal who leaves. Olhers get hurt (Eric Swann , Andre Wadsworth. Kyle Vanden Bosch). Timm Rosenbach, who looked like a coming star a1 quarterback , tore up his knee making a cut during a praclice in 1990, effectively ending his career. Others leave because Bidwill just won't pay what they' re worth (Simeon Rke, David Boston , Michae l Pittman and Frank Sanders). They almost always thrive elsewhere - Rice led the NFC with IS 1/2 sacks last season for Tampa Bay and Pittman had an outstanding Super Bowl for the Bucs. The most recent quarterback, Jake Plummer, led the team to the playoffs in '98, but was erratic and left for Denver thi s season, in part because the Cardinals made onl y a half-hearted offer 10 sign him . Plummer says he was bad in Arizona because the team was bad and, for what it's worth, the Broncos are glad to have him. Now the QB is career caretaker Jeff Blake. He's OK. but he's probably a fill-in untillhe Cardinals draft a new one, perhaps Eli Manning next April. One other learn 10 note is ;,Oetroit, which hasn't really been bad for all that long.

Cale Yarborough bows his head a little when thinking about his beloved home track, Darlington Raceway. · For more than a half-century. he and others in NASCAR 's family spent Labor Day weekend here at the Southern 500. That ends Sunday, when the race slot held from the spon 's earliest days shifts to the larger. newer California Speedway in 2004 for a nationally televised nighttime showcase. '1 don't know," said Yart>orough, a livetime Southern 500 champion. "Progress has to be made .... I tell you what, Labor Day weekend will never be the same again." It won't be the same for race teams. who'll need more precious hours returning tn their East Coast shops. It won't be the same for Darlington officials, who'll light to sell a November race date to fans accustomed to tank tops and cookouts. It won't he the same for anyone who values tradition over modem megabucks. "lf you're a purist, and I am, Darlington has a lot to do with tradition,'" driver Ricky Craven said. It's been that way since Harold Brasington plowed over some farmland to huild tl1e 1.366-mile egg-shaped monstrosity. The tirst South~m 500 was run Sept. 4, 1"950, With a field of 75 cars. Time trials lasted 15 days. The race took 6 hours, 38 tninutes, ·with Johnny Mantz winning with an average speed of 75.250 mph. Hall of Fame owner Bud Moore, competing in that historic race, recalls Mantz's car slowly making its way around the asphalt trdck without problems while other competitors were blowing tires right and left. "That f1rst race in 1950 will always be special," he said. "I can still see in my mind those 75 cars lined up three abreast to stan the race:· Ever since, the track and the date have served as a touchstone for the fonnerly Southern-fried spon. Kyle Petty, who once famously said they should tum the speedway back into a fishing pond because of his straggles there through the years, grew up playing baseball and football in Darlington 's infield and watching his father, King Richard, win the Southern 500 in 1967. "So, yeah, love it or hate it, that track is a big, big pan of my life,'' the younger Petty said. And a big pan ofNASCAR's history. Bill Elliott earned the nickname "Dollar Bill" when he won the 1985 Southern 500 to complete the first Winston Million bonus by taking three of the spon's four crown jewel events. David Pearson is the track's all-time winner with 10 victories. The late Dale Earnhardt won six of I0 races there from 1986-90, including three Southern 500s. He also incredibly passed out at the wheel at the stan of the mce in 1997. Darrell Waltrip, who'll be enshrined in the National Motorsports Press Association's Hall of Fame this weekend, won his 84th and final Winston Cup race at the Southern 500 in 1992. .Recently, Jeff Gordon has created the most memomble moments. He won an unprecedented four straight Southern 500s from 1995-98, then tied Yarborough's mark of five with a win here last year. "I know a lot of people are concerned with it moving off that Labor Day weekend, and that does end a long period of tradition." Petty said. "But we're still going to be there twice a year." Darlington president Andrew Gunis expects the realigned dates - the next Southern 500 wiU run Nov. 14. 2004 - to bring a boost to an economically depressed region. Even without the race, Labor Day tourists will fill the area's hotels and restaurants, he said. "If you still have a great Labor Day and then add a great November, it's got to be a net positive,'' Gunis said. · The track typically brings $50 million a year to the region, according to a 2002 study from the University of South Carolina commissipned by Darlington. Gunis says about 60 percent of that comes from Labor Day weekend. "If you have I00,000 people coming, it doesn't matter if it's in March, September or November," said Tom Regan, the South Carolina researcher who headed the survey. The change could mean more wear and tear for drivers. Points leader Matt Kenseth said it was easy to slip away from Darlington to the race shop a couple of hours away in Nonh Carolina. Now, there's a cross-countzy trek, Kenseth said. A race in the cool California night should continue NASCAR's remarkable growth spun, says 1999 Southern 500 champ Jeff Burton. But he thinks it's a shame it comes at the expense of a NASCAR trddition. "It's hot, it's slippery, it's slick, it's all those things and tliat's what makes the Southern 500 great,'' Bunon said. "I do wish there was a way to keep it here on Labor Day weekend. On the other hand, we' ll stan some new traditions. It'll be OK." Remaining 2003 Winston Cup Schedule • Aug. 31 - Southern 500.

Since 1996, the refurbished barn has provided crafters a place to sell and showcase their handiwork. It is currently filled with ~he work of over 60 crafters. · "This is a real asset to the community," said Gale Leslie, assistant manager of events at Bob Evans Farms. "This allows people from not only this area, but travelers from all over, to appreciate and buy crafts from local ani sans." · Originally a dairy bam used during the Rio Grande College ··self-help" years in the late 1940s, the bam provided a place for college students to - learn how to milk cows and pasteurize and bottle milk. The college used some of the products in its cafeteria. . The farm was purcha-;ed by Bob Evans in 1953 and then by Bob Evans Farms Inc. in 1963. Thankfully, the smell of manure ha~ been replaced by the heavenly scent of handmade candles in the shape of cakes, pies and other confections, and the bam is now tilled to the brim with hand-crafted quilts, furniture, pottery, stained glass and other goodies. "What makes us so unique is that we jury our crafters before we allow them in," Leslie said. "We try not to get anyone with a craft similar to what we've already got here. "We have a wide variety of different things, and we're really proud of that." C,<ltl ,'1"1..... AP Newman and Johnson share front row at Southern 500 DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) -Ryan Newman and Jimmie Johnson didn't have to go thlfough special meetings or pass a rookie t~st to race last year in the Southern 500. That trlldition is gone, and after Sunday the oldest custom in NASCAR also will be relegated to the past. This is the last running of the race on Labor Day weekend - ending a tradition that began in 1950. And, even though both young drivers say they respect the racetrack known as "The Lady in Black" and the "Track Too Tough to Tame," neither seems to be having any trouble negotiating ihe narrow, treacherous, 1.366-mile, egg-shaped oval. Newman and Johnson, last year's top rookies in Winston Cup, will stan from the front row in the 43-car field. After losing the top qualifying position to Elliott Sadler in the spring, Newman had just enough Friday to beat Johnson for his series-leading sixth pole of the season. Newman's fast lap of 169.048 mph in a Penske Racing Dodge barely beat the 168.862 of Johnsoa 's Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Stockman said building pieces is time consuming, but thinks or it more like play than work. "Building them is the fun pan, it's when I have to finish them that it becomes work." he said, laughing. "Every piece is its own challenge, each one is different in its own right. But since I've been making things for other people, I wouldn't make them anything that I wouldn't make for myself. "It's just an issue of quality," he added. "It takes a great deal of time to do it right." Fellow crafter and longtime quilter Rosalie Lakin, also of Gallipolis, agreed. "Quilting ts very time consuming," she said. "But quality is important, and that takes time."

Holzer Health Systems awards academic assistance to staff members Si'AFF REPORT news@ mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS - Holzer Health Systems recently presented two staff LPNs with Academic Assistance Awards thi s year to help provide fi·nancial assistance in their endeavors to become registered nurses. All LPNs employed throughout Holzer Health Systems, and who planned to return to school full-time to become a RN, were encouraged to apply for the award. Nurses selected for these special Academic Assistance Awards were Robin Shriver, LPN, of the HMC Maternity and Family Center, and Suzy Wray,LPN, of the Four-West Unit at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis. The two staff members, who were already accepted into professional nursing education programs. are assisted with the purchase of books. laboratory fees and tuition. as well as a monthly stipend. Upon completion of the accredited program, the LPN will have the total loan forgiven by sustaining her employment as a registered nurse within Holzer .

The way a main storyline carries its characters through a variety of events until you become so enmeshed in its particulars that you can't seem to think about anything else. My. childhood was spent s_neaktng off to the public library and gathering up Nanc~ Drew books by the handful and plopping myself down on the enormously, curved window seat which seemed to belong to no one else but me.

She began the school year, each Friday afternoon with a small re;tding from a book I had never known. It was called "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle and I was never the same again. Now this teacher was smart. She knew how to engage her students with small helpings of really tasty literature so that we would beg her not to stop.

She taught me how to love series books which capture the imagination and make one forget the troubles of the day. There are many series books to entice children of all ages and with varying interests. Here are some I believe provide the best of what a series should offer i.e. strong, likeable main characters; spiritecl and well-written Ian guage ; and character building. 1 started with, the author Madeleine L'Engle and A Wrinkle In Time is the first in her series. "A Wind In The Door" follows, with .. A Swiftly Tilting Planet" rounding off the trilogy. These stories offer loads of science fietion with enough scientific lexicons to keep even a budding Einstein happy. "My First Little House Books" are a great way to introduce series books f'or both boys and girls. Ages are noted as 3 to 8 and this would seem to account for a wide range of reading abilities. From these, you can move on to the Little House books. Try to read those written by Laura Ingalls Wilder-the originator of these true-life stories. The "Dear America" series together with "American Girls" will provide years of learning enjoyment. What I especially like about these, are their originality and comprehensiveness to the subject matter. The language t'ollows the history and characters of the period and provides for numerous jumping off points from which to further research. E. B. White's "Charlotte's Web;" "Stuart Little:" and "The Trumpet Of The Swan" are an oddity of sons. Although there is no central character which links these stories to one another, as in traditional series books. these do read as if they are. Before there was Harry, as in Potter, there was Namia - C. S. Lewis' speU-binding chronicles of the noble and wicked. Check out 'The Complete Chronicles of Narnia" from the library and you will learn how to read ~lese tales as the author intended.

These are labels for women and the neuroses that plague them. Women. popular culture tells us, shop too much, eat too much. love too much and self-obsess too much. But why? In "Appetites : Why Women Want," Caroline Knapp argues that women's psychological issues really are different from men's and that these issues all have the same root: an inability to face• desire and accept it. .. "There is a panicular whir of agitation about female hunger." says Knapp. "A lowlevel thrumming of shoulcls and shoulcln ' ts and cap:ts and wanls that can be so 'chronic and familiar it becomes a kind of feminine Muzak, easy to dismiss. or to tune out altogether. even if you're actively parlicipattng in it." By the end of the book, Knapp has taken the dismissive diche of .the "needy woman" and turned it into an enlighteni ng study of the contempomry female mind. In her first book, •·Drinking: A Love Story," Knapp detailed her strugg les with alcoho li sm. In "Appetites" she again takes her readers deep i1~to her psychological conflicts by using her battle with anorexia to illustrate her theme. Knapp passionately describes her first encounter, at 19. with a container of cottage cheese.

Jon Krakauer, writer of "Into Thin Air," about climbing Mt. Everest, has turned his attention to the world of Mormon fundamentalism in his latest, "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith." He makes clear from the outset that these Mormons have been excommunicated from the main church of the Latter Day Saints and in no way represent that church's current views. In July of 1984 two brothers entered their younger brother's home and killed his wife and 15-month-nld daughter because God had told them to do this. The Laffertv brothers, Ron and Dan. were acting on a revelation from God received by Ron. Brenda Lafferty. the brother's feisty wife. had helped Ron's wife escape his abuse and move herself ami his six children to Florida. Both brothers were in financial trouble, and Brent.la was a logical scapegoat. Brenda was 24. a former local television anchor for a PBS station in Utah. ami had given up her career to stay home with baby Erica. On that July day she was beaten savagely by Ron, begged for her child 's life, but was killed by Dan by ha ving her throat slit. The baby was killed first. as she stood in her crib. smi ling a welcome at her uncles. Krakauer's narrative moves from current information. including the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart by a former Mormon, now a selfstyled guru. to the history of the (Mormon Church. He begins with the story of Joseph Smith and hi s revelations and contact with the angel Moroni in Palmyra, N.Y. He trace s the movements of the newly organi zed church from Kirtland . Ohio, to Nauvoo. Ill. , on to .--- Beverly GeHies Only the youngest. those under eight years of age. were spared. Eventually. the raid was blamed on one man . and John D. Lee was executed. Back to the Laffertys: Ron's trial inclut.led te>timony from psychimrists on both sides. His death sentence, after a series of appeals. is expected to be carried out in 2004. He has chosen to t.lie hy firing squad . The brothers believe his death will mark the beg1nning of Armagedt.lon . Dan Lafferty remains in prison awaiting execution for the actual murder of Brenda and Erica. When Krakauer asked him what was the difference between him and Osama Bin Laden, Dan replied. "I lhink I am a goat.! person." With an insufferable air of se lf-righleousness, Dan Lafferty still believes he was guidet.l by the hand of God. This brings up a question posed by this book. "What is the difference between religious fervor and pathological delusion''" Many religious texts portray justified violence. Krakauer writes. "as a means of motivating people 10 he cruel or inhumane ... 1here may be no more potent force than religion." Tracking back and forth between the present time and Mormon history and the presence of so many simi lar names and complex family relationships does not make this an easy read. I presume its place on the best sell er list . stem s from our curiosity about polygamy. and by lhe recent · kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, her forced 'marriage' 10 her kidnapper and her unusual response 10 her captivity. Watch for the upcoming TV movie' Salt Lake City. where t~ey finally peace in isolation. The most controversial of Smith's revelations involved polygamy. Responding to pressure. lhe Mormon Church outlawed the practice in 1890. Fundamentalist Mormons have long embraced this doctrine . with some "prophets" taking as many as 75 wives and fathering numerous children. You may ask how one support such a large family. One of the answers is that. legally. only the first wife is married. The others are considered sing le mothers. thus eligible to coll ect welfare. The Mormons are the only truly "home-grown" religio n, with its beginnings in I he United States. They have endured persecution and violence at the hands of those who disagree with them. They have also SJXlnsored and approved . violence against ottiers. Krakauer cites the Mountain Meadows Massacre as ~n example. In 1857, a party of some 130 emigrants with a wagon train and some thousand head of cattle and 1wo hundred horses were passing through southern Utah. A party of Mormons was sent out, accompanied by Paiute Indians. After several clays of siege , a truce was proposed. Under a white flag. the set tlers were tri cked into believing they were safe.

'Alice Thrift' is worth pursuing Alice Thrift is a selfdescribed wet blanket. Socially inept. the first-year medical student is more comfortable with textbooks than with people. But she wants to be a plastic surgeon, and that involves well, people. Enter Ray Russo. a gregarious fudge salesman who believes he needs a nose job. Alice talks him out of the rhinoplasty and the pursuit begins. "The Pursuit of Alice Thrift," Elinor Lipman's wry novel about a romance gone awry, begins with Alice reminisc ing about this odd consultation. Ray. whose motivation is dubious. is a charming sort, who seems to wrestle with the truth. Nevertheless. Alice is appreciative of the attention and encourages the pursuit, which ends in a wedding. a fact that is revealed in the beginning of the novel. At the same time. knowing she has to change the way she interacts with people, Alice begins a · se lfimprovement campaign with help from her roommme, Leo. Ray lends a hand as well. Only it' s not going all that well. '' I confirmed that! was and always would. be: a serious infant, a seriou s child, a serious teenager. a serious student. a serious adult." Alice tells Ray during their first "date," a cup of coffee at the hospital cafe , 'followed by a meal at a nearby restaurant. They embark on a relationship, and Lipman is at the top of her game. Alice confides that Ray isn't perfect and wishes he were more grammatical: however, she's not sure that she could do better. '"So how about a kiss')' (Ray) asked. "I waited, shrugged. sw itched my pocketbook to the opposite shoulder, announcing finally that a ' kiss would be acceptable. I closed my eyes. "Nothing happened. I heard him step away, and when I opened my eyes he was three respectful paces back. tightening the knot in hi s tie. 'You know what?' he said. T m not going to force you. Your expression is like a kid biting into a fish stick when he was expecting a : French fry. I have more pride than that." ' Alice, whose goal is to perform plastic surgery on deformed people living in Third World countries, soon finds her career in jeopardy and begins contemplating her future. Leo, her parents and a woman she befriends try to steer her away from Ray, but it is too late. Ray has the perfect combination of sleaze and everyman sensibility, while Alice is portrayed with a mix of self-deprecation and soulful insecurity. Lipman 's one-liners and one of the more ridiculous couplings in recent fiction are enough to keep any reader giggling long arter the ·story's end. But "The Pursuit of Alice Thrifi" isn'l about more than laughs. It goes to the hem1 of what makes us fundmnentally human: our insecurities. desires and dreams, and the intricate relationships we forge to hold all of it together and face ourselves each moming.

Then there's the foul weather: Heavy rains one season drowned half his crop, and a surprise frost two springs ago wiped out his entire harvest. Still, Lawson says he likes his chances of making a successful wine, in part because of the mountain vineyard 's typically cool temperatures and low humidity. "I've been doing. some comparisons: Our day and night temperature is within a few degrees of Napa Valley during the growing season," Lawson says. Lawson says his grapes also derive an intense flavor from the minerals in the strip mine soil. "French and California soils are similar - hard and rocky and hi~h pH," says Lee Daniels, a Virginia Tech pro~ fessor of soil environmental science. "This kind of soil doesn't naturally happen anywhere in Virginia." Bob Carlson, the owner of a winery in Abingdon. agrees that coal mines give wine gr«pes a distinctive flavor. He bought some of Lawson's tmminette two years ago, before the frost destroyed his crop. "It was a very nice wine." Carlson says. This year, Lawson expects to harvest about six tons of grapes. It's still not the most he can get out of his vineyard, but it's better than the 2002 frost disaster. 'T II probably be out of debt when I have three more good harvests," he says.

Take advantage of the late summer harvest by making composed salads. These quick, kid-friendly meal options will keep the whole family happy. Composed salads differ trom tossed salads in that the w mponent parts of a composed salad are arranged on the plate, rather than tossed together. Chef Joe Mure, assistant professor in culinary arts at The Culinary Institute of America, explains that typica lly in a composed salad the main item, such as seasoned meat, grilled chicken or shrimp, as well as a ~rtion of cheese or grilled vegetables, is set on a bed of greens, which has been garnished and dressed. "Some composed salads feature ingredients that have contrasting colors, flavors, texture, heights and temperatures," he says. "Others are based on a single motif or flavor pattern that links the salad's elements." Although there are no specific requirements for a composed salad, follow these principles to create delicious combinations: -Consider how well each of the elements combine. Contrast flavors that are intriguing. - Repetition of a color or a flavor can be successful if it contributes to the overall dish. However, too much of a good thing is simply too much. -All the components should be capable of standing tortilla bowl.

Mitsubishi's new Lancer Sportback wagon seen as versatile, affordable (AP) -It looks better in real life than it does in pictures. And it has a mouthful of a name 2004 · Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart.

And for 2004. it's a new trim level on two compact Lancer models in the United Statesthe new Sportback body style, which is· really a station wagon. and a Lancer sedan. You can think of Ralliart as a step below the strictly-for-racing-buffs, stiff-riding, pricey Lancer Evolution; it's a definite step up from Mitsubishi's more cosmetic-oriented Lancer OZ Rally model. The Sportback Ralliart comes wllh a sporty, customized look. A standard lower body kit adtls front. side and rear air dams. Other standard features are fog lights, unique grille, tinted headlamp lenses and Euro-flange alloy wheels. But all this doesn't seem to show well in pictures.

The front is independent MacPherson strut, while theres an independent multilink configun1tion with coil springs at the rear. But in the Ralliart version, the suspension is specially tuned, with shock damping that's increased !50 percent in the front and 85 percent in the back for a more controlled ride.

The tester seemed to find power easily, and while it didn ' t slingshot past other cars in passing maneuvers like a sports car might, it behaved with decent zip. Best of all, the Sportback Ralliart's performance was comfortable and connfortin~, giving me confidence that tt could merge onto freeways capably and climb mountain roads without feeling sluggish. Note the Ralliart engine gets its wide power range from a new, valve-timing system, which is called Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC). There also are other engine improvements, such as larger valves, longer intake runners and dual-port exhaust manifold. The catalytic converter and muffier are designed to accommodate larger volumes, too, which helps reduce backpressure on the engine. Fuel economy is decent. The car Is rated at 22 miles a gallon in city driving and 2~ mpg on the highway, according to Mitsubishi. The Ralliart cars include sport front bucket seats with goodsized, side bolste~ and fabric that can hold a body snugly during aggressive driving. KERR - Last year with all the talk of the upcoming Ohio Bicentennial. lngeborg Adams decided to spruce up her garden. · "I read last year in the paper we should all make our gardens beautiful, and I got a bit carried away," she said, "Up until then. I only had a few flowers.'' lngeborg , a native of Moenchgladbach, Germany. lives on a small farm in Kerr with her husband, James. She has lived in the same place for more than 30 years and, with James, raised three children who are now married with children of their own. 'They live far away - the closest is in Columbus and the other two live in Texas lUld Kentucky,"lngeborg said of her children, two girls and a boy. Having purchased land in an area close to where James was born and reared, the Adamses built the house almost immediate! y and began to accumulate animals - cattle, chickens and three Belgian horses. Petunias now seem to be the staple in lngeborg 's garden. In almost all the beds, their bright color combination s of pink, purple and white dominate and complement the other blooms. lngeborg said her favorite place in the garden is around the rose arbor, on the north side of the house .

Let's see how they do. First. obesity is a national epidemic according to CDC (Cemers for Disease Control and Prevention) research published in the October 27, 1999, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Obesity (defined as'being over 30 percent above ideal body weight) in !he population increased from 12 percent in 1991 to 17.9 percent in 1998. The findings -oalso show that a major contributor to obesity - physical inactivity - has not changed substantially between 1991 and 1998. "Overweight and physical inactivity account for more than 300,000 premature deaths each year in the United States, second only to tobacco-related deaths. Obesity is an epidemic and should be taken as seriously as any infectious disease epidemic," says Jeffrey P. Koplan, director of the CDC. and one of the authors of the .1.1\MA article. "Obesity and overweight are linked to the nation's number one killer heart disease - as well as diabetes and other chronic conditions. In general. restoring physical activity to our daily routines is critical." According to Kaplan, the American li festyle of convenience and inactivity has had a devastating toll on every segment of society, particularly on childnin. Research shows that 60 percent of overweight 5- to 10-year-old children already have at least one risk factor for heart disease, including high levels of cholesterol and eleva.ted blood pressure or insulin levels. The surgeon general recommends that schools provide 20 minutes of VIGOROUS activity to every child every day, yet the trend has been to decrease the amount of physical education classes in school. If this trend is not reversed there is going to be another generation of overweight adults who will be at risk for subsequent obesity related health conditions. This is the future . workforce of America - overweight with multiple health problems. The cost to business in health insurance and workers compensation will put further Slrain on the economy: jeopardizing the availability of jobs and the viability of American busine ss to compete in the world market. Now. how dOes music and an fit in? N01 only does business need a healthy worilforce. they need a sman, intelligent one with a good work ethic. Nwnerous studies have shown !hat music and an help students do better overall in school. The same is true for physical activity! Yet the trend is to eliminate all of these school activities using the excuse of budgetary constrdints and/or not being important to the education process. This article is a plea for parents to keep their child active - both phy sically and mentally. It is always easier to be proactive - "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Demand your schools provide physical education everyday as well as an and mu sic classes if you want your child to be healthy and competitive in the work force. I will now put in a plug for Destination ImagiNation (Dl) - .a program that integrates musi c, art , drama, common- sense. scientific knowledge and creativity. They claim it's th~ most important course in education wtiere you can think outside of the box - !he things they don '!-teach you in your regular classes at school! Being new to this area, I was surprised to find out that no one I talked to had ever heard of it. Their web site , www.dini.org, describes their approach as based on divergent thinking - understanding that there is more than one way to solve a problem . Teams (up to seven members) choose one challenge and spend several months perfecting their "solution" for tournament day. Teams must also practice coming up with solutions for Instant Challenges - an additional challenge that is revealed to !he teams only minutes beJore their presentation time 1 Dl in Ohio is called Ohio Kids for Creativity where Gallia County is part of Region XVIII . Usually the top 2 teams for each challenge in Elementary, Middle. and High School division s (also College, Military. and the new Adult division) from the Regional Tournament go to the State Tournament and then to the Global Finals. The cost is minimal except for time.

In the case of an infectious disease, the chain of infection can be charted. In situations where a dangerous disease is highly contagious, . steps are taken to stop the spread of !he disease. People who are already sick may be isolated in special rooms !hat don't pass air into other areas of the building. Those who come in close contact to them wear protective clothing, gloves, and face masks. Those who have been exposed but are not yet sick are quarantined, because some disease can be spread before symptoms are apparent. If !here were an outbreak in this area, local health department staff with epi training would begin the investigation. Expertise, technical assistance and personnel could be drawn from nearby health derartments with activation o the Regional Epidemiololly Response Team. Further assistance from the Ohio Department of Health and the CDC would also be available for serious outbreaks. Coordination with other emergency response agencies would also be activated. The Public Health Infrastructure Grant has been instrumental in forging these alliances, preparing plans and providing training in local and regional response to natural or intentional disease outbreaks. (Catherine Clark is public health infrastructure coordinator for the Gal/ia County Health Department.) 100 Somelt'ing amallng 102 NLmb ' 149 Bonta tor wino 151 Eagle's nasi 153 Festive 155 River In France 157 Arlhurlan paradise 158 159 160 161 162 TrackS Ardrx Failed Ford -oflhoball Bitter drUg 163 Escrhoire 164 Abounds DOWN 1 Wings 2 Crazes 3 Joumoy 4 The~· 5 Treat wllt1 honor 6 Fine mlsl 7 8 9 10 11 12 Abbr.

If you want to avoid the pitfalls that hillle trapped other couples, both you and your spouse need to manage the family finances, says Lorna Jorgenson Wendt, founder and presi· dent of Equality in Marriage, a Web site and institute that counsels cou· pies on how to maintain a 50·50 part· nership. Wendt advises couples to consider pre- and post-nuptial agreements to protect their assets should they end up in divorce court someday. To avoid everyday arguments, couples who are in debt should do their best to dig out of it, and everyone should stockpile funds for rainy days. Wendt and other experts also agree that a joint bank account can save a marriage. "Many psychologists recom· mend opening a joint checking account as an opportunity to deal with a controlling nature, a chance to prac· tice trusting your spouse and thinking in terms of 'our' money, rather than 'yours' and 'mine:• according to "Crib Notes for the First Year of Marriage: A Survival Guide for Newlyweds" (Fai· rview Press), by Everett De Morier. But Wendt also suggests maintaining your own line of credit and separate accounts in case things go awry in your marriage. Regardless, experts agree that cou· pies must make these decisions together, and no one can afford to be shy about communicating his or her philosophies on money to a spouse.

But, wives, you can nip this problem in the bud if you set the rules early in the marriage. Discuss who will do what and when. Write a contract if you have to, Wendt suggests. Couples should openly and honestly discuss the division of labor. And if you get into a tiff about something like whose turn it is to do the dishes, stay calm, according to "The Thoroughly Modern Married Girl" (Broadway Books), by Sara Bliss.

The latest title to feature the sneaky style of play is "The Great Escape' from Pivotal and Gotham Games. The reasoning behind basing a 2003 videogame on a 1963 movie is a topic for another day. The film has achieved cult status and is one of the movies most closely tied to the legend of Steve McQueen. The game will achieve no such status. Sadly, it's just not that good. The game begins in a flaming bomber over Germany. After mowing down a bunch of Nazi fighters, the bomber is hit and is heading for a crash. You bail out, but are greeted when you land by German soldiers who escort you to a nasty-looking prisoner of war camp. You play as several of the movie's key characters, including McQueen's Virgil Hilts, whose specialty is picking· locks. A n d y McDonald is an intelligence expert, Robert Hendley a scrounger and Sedgewick an expert in making and repairing machines. Your goal: Escape. Opposing you art' a variety of Nazi toadies, including Welmnacht soldiers, special "ferrets" who focus on countering escapes, combat troops who generally shoot first and forget to ask questions later, and Gestapo officers, the meanest of the mean. There is some . combat action, but most of the time you're sneaking around, tryIng to avoid bumping into enemy soldiers while accom- plishing some task. To help you, there's a "stealth" camera which lets you peek through keyholes and around corners to keep track of guards. If one happens to surprise you, you can slug him or choke him from behind. And there are weapons, of course, though using them in the wrong places will bring a horde of slavering Nazis down on you in short order. Comparing the game to the best of the stealth genre, such as "Metal Gear Solid," shows its serious shortcomings. My main complaint: Getting caught rarely can be explained or yredicted. Sometimes you 'I be all but buried underground and you'll be spotted, while in other cases a guard will walk by just a foot or two from your hideout, your head sticking up like a lamppost, and he won't give you a look. While you'll be playing those stealth scenes over a times few before you clear them, "The Great Escape" does · have one s h o u I d-b e m a n d a t o r y· feature - you can save at any point in the game. Save at the start of each stealth ·mission and at least you won't be playing an entire level over. The big complaint? Stealth isn 't fun as a steady diet unless the missions are greatly varied. That's not the case in "The Great Escape." You do get to ride as · McQueen in that famous motorcycle scene, but the.con- trois manage to spoil the ride and other vehicular jaunts and leave you annoyed and frustrated. McQueen's probably spinning in his grave. Graphics get a C. The characters look sort of like the movie stars they're modeled after, but in a stilted, awkward way. Lightin~ is adequate, detailing is skimpy, and there are problems with slowdown. Controls get a B. Your characters follow the controls well, and there is no difficulty in getting where you need to go. Camera angles are good. Sound gets a B. Voice acting is good and the dialogue is acceptable. The music works well with the theme and the on-screen action. "The Great Escape" gets a B. It could have been improved with more fme-tuning. Instead, . it's just another game clogging video store shelves, with little that stands out. "The Great Escape" is rated T, for ages 13 and up.
