He began the season with Childress, then moved to the Dale Earnhardt Inc. No. I Chevrolet. First he switched places with Steve Park, then he ended up being replaced by John Andretti, who began the season at Petty, where Green is now. It's been quite a year. Green holds out hope of keeping his job with the Pettys. "I hope so," Green said. "We've been pretty competitive each time we've raced so far. I just want to be competitive and have an opportunity to win. They needed me the past·cou· pie of weeks as bad as I needed them. "It's the first time I've ever driven a Dodge, and that thing is very capa· ble of being competitive each and every week.

"I have learned that leaves have other things in them that makes them clrange colors," said Ashley Ashworth, a freshman. "I think the leaves are pretty in the fall and now I know what is inside them." Using chromatography, students put the leaves in an alcohol solution which separates the colors that exist inside the leaves. Sisson said Meigs County is a good place to view the fall foliage because there are a lot of beech and maple trees. She said there are patches of old growth forest in the area filled with decades old trees that blossom into fall masterpieces each year. Sisson said most folks today assume the cold weather is responsible for changes in leaf color, but, not so. Many leaves begin to tum befo re the first frost. RACINE - The leaves have splashed a wide army of color throughout Meigs County. According to Native American myth, hunters in the heavens killed the Great Bear in autumn and its blood dripped over earth's forests coloring some of the leaves red. As the hunters cooked the meat, fat dripped fro m the heavens and col· ored some of the leaves yel· low. Ann Sisson, a biology teacher at Southern High School, teaches her students how these colors really come to life through science. Sisson said lower tern· peratures and less sunlight trigger the leaves to change colors. "The chlorophyl (green) inside the leaves overshad· · ows the other colors until the fall when the other col· ors come out," she said.

The equipment and its installation on the playground is still several months away, acco rding to Superintendent William Buckley. He noted that a JYI'O committee is looking into types of playground equipment and will be making recommendations to the boaid. Buckley said he is hopeful the board will be able to view different kinds of equipment soon so that when the weather is right, the construction can begtn. All bids on the asbestos removal and demolition of the vacated Rutl and and Salem Center elementary school s opened Monday were rejected at Thursday night's meeting of the board . The project will be rebid. Buckley said that the low demolition bid raised issues of proper asbestos disposal while the second lowest bid did not provide the bid bonds. The other bids were too high and exceeded the project budget. The Board endorsed both Carleton School's new 2 mill levy for five years and lhe renewal of the Senior Citizens' I mill five-year levy. Buckley recommended the endorsements based on the additional cost to the dis· trict should the Carleton School levy not pass, and the programming provided by the senior citi1.en vol unteers in the schools.

The site is updated each morning by Deputy Mark .Taylor, who is responsible for compiling inmate information, and Webmaster Mike Martin, who constructs the page and maintains it free of charge. Several new items have been added to the site, induding access to the tip line, which allows citizens to anonymously provide information to the Sheriff's Office on crimes in the county; information and photos of current and past inmates, as well as those on house arrest; and a link that allows residents to file reports for incidents such as telephone harassment and for insurance purposes online. "The online reporting is an exciting .new addition for us," Gallia County Sheriff David L. Martin said. "It is really simple and convenient to use, and is one way to help us cut costs by sav- ing the deputies time ." Those filing claim s can simply fill in r~quired information and a brief Jescri ption of the crime and a deputy will review it and assi~n a report number, Martin sa1d. A link that allows residents to provide information on officer conduct is also a new addition to the site. "We thought this was necessary," Martin said.

He was born near the same spot where he lives today and is familiar with the history of the area. Each year at Volcano Days he sets up displays about the oil and gas industry of which his father-in-law, George West , owned the famous "endless cable" wells and the Buckeye engine house, written about in oil and gas histories. It was the early pioneers of oil such as George West who supplied oil to Texas, Amick satd. There is a small town in Texas named George West, he said. Amick draws a crowd when he begins to recite poems and literature written by those famous in history. He likes to write his recitations on slabs of cut timber in circular fashion between the growth circles. For Amick, he is preserving history on history itself. · "Only God can make a tree," he said. "And only the tree can tell us about its life so we can carry its story through time." The history of oil in the Volcano area is as old as time itself, Amick said.

I would like to say how much this program means to my fami ly. When Dwight started at Guiding Hand Pre-school program he was only able to say five words. At Guiding Hand he was able to rece ive speech therapy and interact with other children in a small classroom setting. He worked on basic academic skills as well as speech and language and now attends a regular classroom in a public school. This program was extremely valuable to my son. I encourage everyone to vote 'yes' on the Guiding Hand levy.

Guiding Hand School and Gallco Industries are seeking support for a levy from the voters of Gallia County. Our son, Scott, has been in the program since age three. During the past 25 years, he has received wonderful services from Guiding. Hand School and Gallco Industries that compare to none . We have always felt the comfort of Scott being in a small, safe and nurturing atmosphere. The staff is so dedicated that they go above and beyond what is necessary to ensure parents of handicapped persons that their children are in an environment that promotes their well being. As much as we support public education, Scott's needs were so great that, in our opinion, we were confident he would benefit from such a program. We have never regretted our decision . During these years, he has received comprehensive training with the hope that will reach his full potential. We are :so thankful that 'Scutt has had this opportunity, but with bud. ·get cuts, rising costs, and no new tax. dollars in over 20 years, the program needs monetary resources to continue quality services for Scott and others. Please, for Scott and the other handicapped persons at Guiding Hand School and Gallco Industries, we appeal to you to support thi s much-needed levy.

Jesse was born with Kabuki Syndrome which 'has delayed him physically and mentally. 'When Jesse first started school he would scoot on the floor everywhere he wanted to go. Guiding Hand started Jesse with a walker and :would cheer hard to get him to use the walker. By the end of ;the scl10ol year Jesse was walking on his own. Jesse and the other kids need the speech, occupational and phy sical therapy that the school offers. Without the funds these kid s won ' t be receiving therapy that they need. Jesse has a G-tube that he is fed through. He was born with .a cleft palate which has delayed him from eating. Guiding :Hand works with him on trying to feed himself. Jesse is now . 'taking bites of food. Jesse is four years old but the size of a two year old and he is also still in diapers and will remain in diapers for a long while. Jesse has progressed well since he has been at Guiding ;Hand School and we owe all of our thanks to Guiding Hand -for Jesse being where he is at today. Without the help of the qualified staff at Guiding Hand I would be unable to work. Jesse and the other kids at school need the help that Guiding Hand gives, that these kids couldn't receive at a regular school. Jesse and the other kids at Guiding Hand and the adults at Gallco' need your help. Please vote yes on the :Guiding Hand/Gallco levy. Dear Editor: O'Reilly anybody try to blow my high. you know !'rna tell 'em f-- - you. f--- you, f--- you (ad infinitum).· Revealingly, both Ludacris and Tarantino have been treated great by many in the elite media as they publicize their ' creative ' vehicles. A nd theni in lies the problem. Generally speaking, the American pres s ,. has embraced and promoted degrading entenainment, succeeding in _making it . socially acceptable. The turning point came a few years ago when Elton John did a duet with Emi nem on national televi sion. Note to Elton: I remember when rock was young and nobody sang a song called ' Hoes .in My Room. ' Thanks for advancing the cu lture. Once again I have to tell you that I am not coming at thi s from a moralistic point of view. If you are ove r 18 and want to pay $10 to watch a chainsaw guy slaughter people, then go ahead. Just don't come over to my house. If you're an adult who wants to hear some guy rant about prostilutes Jllmping on him, hey, who am I to tell you you're a moron ? t~OM IRAq ... I am writing thi s letter to urge the voters of Gallia County to pass the levy for Guiding Hand School and Gallco Adult Work shop. My daughter, Donna, has been attending Gallco since 1991. She has made new friends and matured over the years with the guiding support of the dedicated staff there. She really enjoys attending Gallco. They have also helped her increase her daily living skills. People may not be aware of the wonderful services that Guiding Hand School and Gallco offer, but I don't know what Donna or I would do without them. You may not need their services right now, but someday, you or your family may. Please vote yes on Nov. 4 so that the services offered through Guiding Hand School and Gallco can continue.

Insiders in both parties worry that their leaders are veering off course and away from the vast middle ground that decides most national campaigns. Because someone has to win, the uneas iness on one side will eventually prove unjustified. But with the election barely a year away. it is worth exploring the reasons for the current anxiety, and why they are so similar in both camps. Many Democrats fear that their party is being captured by · an intellectual elite. based in the universitie s and salons that clu ster along the coasts. Many Republic ans are equally nervous that their party is now dominated by an economic elite, with strongholds on Wall Street and K Street. The anti-.war posture of .the intellectual elite could brand the Democrats as slow to defend American security interests. The anti-tax, antiregulation canon of the economic elite could re surrect the damaging stereotype of a Republican Party beholden to the rich. A Democratic Party run out of Harvard Square is a loser. So is a Republican Party based in the boardroom s "of Enron and Halliburton. Both leave out a lot folks in the middle, the ~nes who have second jobs, not second degrees or second homes.

We appre- makers are increasingly conciate what both men accom- cerned about White House leadership. and several recent votes reveal those doubts. Eight GOP Senators and 84 House members resisted Pre sident Bush's personal pleas and voted to turn half of the $20 billion for Iraqi reconstruction into a loan. Twenty-one Republican Congressmen joined · Democrats in defeating an administration plan to revamp overtime laws . Other Republicans bucked the White House on importing cheap pharmaceuticals and regulating media ownership. Much of this dissent is caused by a concern that the pre sident is too beholden to corporate interests, from the drug makers who want to beef up prices to the media barons who want to buy up properties . Factor in two other rising indicators battlefield casualties and jobless workers - and the GOP fear turns tangible. As Connecticut Republican Christopher Shays told the Washington Post, a faltering war effort and a sputtering economy have hurt the president in recent months: 'It wasn't a great lime, and the way he handled it has made it even worse.' So both sides face a similar challenge: limiting the influence of t,heir own elites while connecting to the real majority. But in this autumn of discontent, neither party is sure of" how to reach that goal. GALLIPOLIS - Flu clinic, 9·11 a.m., Gallia County Senior Resource Center.

The utility that serves customers in West Virginia and I0 other states said Thursday · that it earned $257 million, or 6S cents a share, for the quar· ter that ended Sept. 30 compared with $425 million, or $1.2S a share, a year ago. Excluding charges, the company earned $302 mil lion , or 76 cents per share. by Analysts surveyed Thomson First Call were ex pecting earnings of 86 cents a share. Revenue was $4.1 billion, up from $3.8 billion from a year ago. AEP chairman E. Linn Draper Jr. said the qu arte r was challenging because mild summer weather in the Midwest reduced electricity demand and severe storms resulted in unexpected repair expenses. Draper said the company was successful selling that . electricity in wholesale mar· kets, which offset .the impact of mild weather. AEP reported $S I million in losses at two U.K. plants, $28 million of which was Iinked to coal and freight contracts and hedge s. Another $20 million in losses in gas line investments was attributed to fewer trades in the gas wholesale bu siness. Those noncore investments should be a drag on perfor· mance through the next year, said Jeff Dietert, an analyst with Simmons & Company. "Divesting these businesses would be a positive for ongoing earnings," he said. · The company also recorded $4S.S million in losses becau se the market value of two power plants declined. Bill Chapman, an analyst Victory Capital with Management, said he thought AEP did fairly well in their basic bu sinesses for the quar· ter while recovering from factors beyond its control. ''They gave a decent reason for it (the decline) and I think we' II see in future quarters whether those reasons were justified, so for now I'm giv· ing thein the benefit of the doubt," said Chapman, whose Cleveland-based firm holds a small stake in AEP. AEP said it expects 2003 earnings to be at the low end of the previou sly announced range of $2.20 to $2.40 per share. AEP has about S million customers 111 II states: Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

The dramatic arrest alarmed the country's business and riolitical elite, with many .anal~sts saying the actions · a~ainst Yukos are a Kremlindirected campaign to keep Khodorkovsky out of politics. · Khodorkovsky, who has openly funded opposition parties, is the latest of Russia's superrich oligarchs 19 be pursued by President Vladimir Putin's government. Tycoons Boris 8erezovsky and Vladimir qusinsky have gone into selfunposed exile to avoid criminal prosecution. . : The Prosecutor General's office charged Khodorkovsky with fraud, forgery, embezzlement and personal and corporate tax. evasion, the news agency lnterfax reported. A spokesman for the office told The Associated Press that charges had been filed, but gave no specifics. The charges were filed in Moscow, where Khodorkovsky was brought after he was detained during in a business trip Novosibirsk, the main city of Siberia. Khodorkovsky c.ould be kept until Dec. 30 in a pretrial detention facility, his lawyer Anton Drel said. The shabby and overcrowded detention units are widely considered worse than Russia's prisons. "The charges of the prosecutor are groundless. The detention of Mikhail Khodorkovsky is aimed at fa nning a big scandal which would cover up the lack of evidence in the so-called Yukos case," Yukos spokesman Alexander Shadrin told AP. Shadrin , said Khodorkovsky's plane was surrounded by trucks after it landed in Novosibirsk and black-uniformed forces identifying themselves as FSB the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB - boarded the plane shouting "put down your weapons or we 'II shoot." "They used sort of special forces as if they were dealing with a ·terrorist," spokesman Alexander Shadrin .told The AP. 40 year old The Khodorkovsky, whose wealth was estimated by Forbes magazine at $8 bilhon, is one of the most prominent of Russia's so-called "oligarchs" - men who made huge, quick fortunes after the collapse of the Soviet Union by acquiring state property at low prices in deals whose ethics came under question. The oligarchs are greatly resented by large numbers of Russians who did not benefit from the privatization of state property. Both parliamentary and presidential elections will be held in the coming months, and the standing of pro-Kremlin parties among ordinary Russians has been strengthened by the pressure being put on oligarchs by the authorities. Under Putin, authorities stripped Gusinsky of his media empire and charged him with fraud and have charged Berezovsky with fraud in connection with an automobile company. Both now live overseas, where courts have rejected Russian extradition requests. Both Gusinsky and Berezovsky allege that the actions against them are a political vendetta in retaliation for criticism of Putin. The Kremlin says -that the prosecutor's office is an inde- BY JAE.SUK Yoo Associated Press pendent agency outside pres· idential control. Khodorkovsky has given funding to the opposition Yabloko and Union of Right Forces parties and is believed to have personal political · ambitions. As head of the largest company dealing in Russia's largest export commodity, Khodorkovsky can wield substantial influence, and his potency was likely to mcrease with Yukos' recently finalized merger with Sibneft . to create the world's fourthlargest oil exporting company. On Thursday, investigators raided a public relations com' pany that was doing work for Yabloko in the election campaign for the national parliament, reportedly looking for evidence connected to the Yukos probe. Top Russian businessmen and political leaders across the political spectrum expressed concern about Khodorkovsky's detention, including Communist Party head Gennady Zyuganov, who told Interfax he was "extremely worried." "We think that this extremely dangerous development of events can only be stopped by the clear, unambiguously presented position of Russian President Putin," said Anatoly Chubais, who oversaw the privatization of state .assets in the I 990s and now heads the national electricity company. Putin's failure to do this "will bring Russia into an irreversible process of worsening business conditions," he said. The action may also raise a warning flag to foreign investors who have been increasingly putting money into Russia, boosting the economy strongly after the collapse of the ruble in 1998. Despite Russia 's vast potential, many investors are leery of the country because of its capricious legal system and concerns about shareholder protection and corporate transparency.

It was the latest about-face by North Korea, which had called the offer "laughable" and "not worth considering" and has been unclear about its actions and plans during the yearlong dispute over its atomic ambitions. Still, the abrupt shift raised hope of resuming six-nation talks aimed at ending the standoff.

This season's lone loss came to Ironton back in week three. "We play a pretty good schedule. We play the Ironton Fighting Tigers, and that makes us better every year," explained Bokovitz.

The perfect league season included impressive road wins at Athens, Marietta, Point Pleasant and now Logan. "We're road warriors now," Bokovitz boasted.

Meanwhile , Indiana finished with minus-12 yards rushing and managed only 46 total yards in the first half. It was that kind of day. About the only thing that went wrong for Ohio State was an injury to starting wide receiver . Drew Carter mi<.lway through the second quaner. Carter landed awkwardly on hi s right knee following a 17-yard reception and was carried off the field by otlensive linemen Shane Olivea and Adrien Clarke. Carter did not return and Ohio State spokesman Steve Snapp said he would ' be ' evaluated when the Buckeyes returned home. Ohio State took control quickly with Ross breakmg off huge chunks of yardage on the Buckeyes' opening possession. He finished the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run. Ross averaged 7.3 yards on 23 carries. · Three series later. Krenzel hooked up with Carter on a 49-yard completion to set up Ross' 2-yard TO run.

Indiana averted a shutout when Chris Taylor scored on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Graeme McFarland. Krenzel completed 19 of 26 passes and threw one interception although he did not play the fourth quarter.

Ohio State's offense, which entered the game ranked !14th out of 117 Division 1-A schools, finished with a season-high 603 total yards, nearly doubling their previous best of 345, And it didn ' t take long to get started.

BELPRE Two old rivals got together Friday night to close out the 2003 football season when the Meigs Marauders traveled up Ohio 7 to face the Belpre Golden Eagles. When the Marauders and the Golden Eagles get together it is usually a hard fought game regardless · if the . game is for the TV C Ohio Division champi· onship or just for braggmg rights. Friday night's game continued the tradition with the Eagles winning a hard fought 39-24 contest that saw the momentum switch sides several time durin~ the game.

On the first Meigs posse ssion freshman Justin Thornhill intercepted a )'vlarauderpass giving Belpre good field position at the Meigs 47-yard line. The Belpre eleven didn't waste any time expanding their lead. On the first play from scrimmage Ju stm Cline raced 47 yards for the Belpre touchdown; Kyle Wi~;al booted the extra pmnt stretching the lead to 15-0. The Marauders turned to their running game to try to get back in the game.

Meigs converted a big third down on the drive when Eric Cullums hooked up with Jon Larkins on an 18yard pass on 3rd and 13 at the Belpre 19-yatd lin~. The extra point kick was blocked and the Eagles led 15-6 with II :57 to go in the first half.

The Marauders took over with 0:51left on the clock at Sunday, October 26, 200<! the Belpre'36, Eric Cull oms kept the ball on an option play and found running room all the way ro . the Golden Eagle 3 yard line before he was tripped up.

However, on this night, the Bulldogs depended on the hard run:ning of tailback Chris Hewitt as the Big Blacks and Bulldogs did battle, .with the Bulldogs pulling out the 3525 win with big plays and timely defense. Hewitt ran 23 times for 250 yards in the game and was the biggest factor in the second half, with the Bulldogs clinging to a 21-12 lead. The senior running back helped run down the clock by churning out long drives against a Point Pleasant defense that logged in a lot of time on the field . "We were a little disappOinted in our inability to stop the run, bm we thought we did a good job on putting pressure on Gregory," said Big Blacks head coach Steve Safford. However, the Big Blacks didn 't play dead ·and made comeback after come· back to close in on the Athens lead. Newton Mattox, Jared Billings, and .J.D. Thompson all had big nights on the ground and found a way to fight through the Bulldogs nine man defensive fronts and break long gains. The trio combined for 274 yards on the ground with Mattox leading the way with 126 yards on 16 carries. Billings and Mattox did their part to jump-start the Big Blacks' offense as Billings ran for a 69-yard touchdown, and Mattox ran for touchdown runs of 35 and 46 yards. "We tried to spread their defense out and give ourselves some opportunities to open up some holes," sa1d Safford. Quarterback Justin Sheline also turned in one of hi s best perfonnances of the season with shon passes to keep the drive alive. The sophomore QB threw for 65 yards to receivers Justin Smith, J.D. Thompson and Dustin Baker. and gave Point Pleasant a passing threat that had been sorely missin~ from the Big Blacks offense . "Our ktds battled . back and played a heck of a football game," smd Satlord. This helped the Big Blacks with ~hart drives down the field for quick scores, but couldn't keep them even with the explosive Bulldo~s' otlense. The game didn' t start to p1ck up until from 13 yards out on middle to cut the Devil lead in Johnson's ftrst scoring run of half. But the Logan faithful were quickly silenced. the night.

Wahama. despite falling behind by an early I0-0 score, overcame several futile scoring chances, before battling back for the come-from-behind win. R.T. Roush closed the deficit to 10-7 in the fmal minute of the second half on a one yard run before the White Falcons drove 56 yards in the final quarter with Branch giving WHS ,the win with a one yard plunge with :34 remaining. An emotionally exhausted Falcon coach Ed Cromley stated following the biggest win at Bacthel Stadium in White Falcon history, "It seemed' as if we were pounding each other in the nose all night long". "Our kids played with determination and we were able to put it away on that last drive. Defensively we did an excellent job of containing Black (Crusaders talented running back Nate Black) and a lot of the credit goes to our assistant coaches. James Toth, Joe JohnS\)n and Tom Cullen simply called a terrific game both offensively and defensively." In what should have been an offensive showdown between two teams that were avemging over 45 points per game the defense on both sides were the celebrities of the evening. Branch, Zerkle. Aaron Faulk, Barton, Roush and Jason Young limited the Crusaders heralded offense to just 8& yards in total offense in the second half while pitching a shutout over the final two quarters. Black had a 41 yard, third period run and the Falcons gave up another 33 yards while in a prevent defense in the final minute of the game which left Parkersburg Catholic with just 14 offensive yards except for those four plays during the games final 24 minutes. The huge win will most likely ensure Wahama with the home field advantage 'throughout its playoff journey but the contest was not without an enonnous controversial call prior to the Falcons scoring its winning touchdown. The Bend Area team was at the Crusader three yard line when Parkersburg Catholic recovered an apparent fumble into the end zone. The officials ruled the WHS runner was down before the fumble occurred and , Three plays later the visi~ were at the 19 gave the locals another chance where with Black missing wide left on a 38 yard Branch made the most of the opportunity to field goal attempt . , give WHS the win.

Browns on :seahawks how far he's come BY JoE KAY Associated Press : CINC INNATI ~ Jon Kitna was a bitter ;man. · A devout Christian, he knew he sho uld for:give Seattle coach Mike Holmgren for writi ng :hirn off and shipp ing him out in the early phase of rebuilding the Seahawk>. Kitna moved to Cincinmti and extended his :career with the Bengal s. but cou ldn't leave his :raw feelings· behind. Event ually. he recognized ·it was time to move on . ; In a telephone call to Holmgre n last year. :Kitna put one of the biggest disappointment s .of his career behind. He and his former coach :have made amends as they prepare for a :reunion Sunday. : "It was just coming to maturity on my part," ;Kitna said. " I was just too stubborll to do it. ;Last year. I had finall y held onto that bitterness :long enough and let it beat me up long ·enough." , The idea now is to beat l1is f9rmer team. : The Seahawks (5- I ) are off to the best start iin franchi se history, fin all y showing the kind iof results their fans expected when Holmgren ;arri ved from Green Bay for the 1999 season. ' Kitna led them to the playoffs th at year. 'passing for 3,346 yards and 23 touchdowns as ·the Seahawks made their first postseason :appearance in II years. Only five games into ,the 2000 season, he was replaced by Brock :Huard. ; Holmgre n wanted hi s ow n quarterback . Kitna wasn' t it. "I' ve been thinking about thi s a littl e bit thi s week . reflec ting on that first year." Holmgren said. " ! didn 't know the players very well here, and I was really trying to es tablish an identity .that! th ought had been missing here for a long :time. ' " It didn 't have as much to do with Jon Kitna as it had with bringing in someone that I knew, and maybe we could establish an identity arou nd him ." Holmgren brought over Matt Hasselbeck from Green Bay in a trade. Kitna went to Cincinnati (2 -4), where he's stailing to get results. He threw for three to uchdowns and didn ' t have a turnover Sunday in a 34-26 victory over Baltimore, ex tending one of the best stretches of his seven-year career. He has throw n only .one interception in the last three ga mes. showing signs he's tlnall y getti ng beyond his pen.chant to force passes that become intercep tions. "I'm see ing the field better than I ever have," said Kitna, who has c·o mpleted 64 percent of his passes in the last three games for 714 yards with six touchdowns. "I have a good understanding of where all II guys are on defen se and what they're trying to . do to us. That 's the No. I thing that's helped me." It's even more impressive considering the Bengals haven't had a running ga me because Corey Dillon is limited by a strained groin. The moody running back popped off during the week, saying he's frustrated and wants to go somewhere else . Dillon has repeatedly vented his frustrations in years past. so hi s latest outburst made little impact on teammates. "That all comes with fru stration ." receiver Chad Johnson said. "When yo u' re frustrated and things aren ' t going ri ght. you forget your surroundings. That's all that is." While Dillon fumed during the week. hi s counterpart on the Seahawks reveled in hi s chance to play at Paul Brown Stadium. Shaun Alexa nder grew up in nonhern Kentucky, rooting for the Bengals and hoping they'd draft him. Dillon was entrenched in 2000 and Alexa nder went to the Seahawks with the 19th overall pick. "Now, would l have been happy to go to the Bengal s if they had traaed Corey Dillon? Of course," Alexander said. ''That would have been exciting. but they aid what they had to do, and you can't blame them when you have a running back like Corey Dillon." Instead. he's helped the Seahawks move into first place - a place that's still foreign to the Bengals. They haven't had a winning record since 1990, and are trying to get their first set of back-to-back wins since 200 l. Their chances rest with Kitna, who is trying to keep his first game agai nst his former team in perspective. "This is a big game for us," he said. "It's an opportunity to get two in a row at home and reall y get ou rselves going in the right direction. I'm hyped for that more than anything. "Obviously you want to beat your old team, but I don't feel any extra i~ce ntive this week. I feel the guys on that te am respected me. We always had a great locker room there, so it's not like I ha ve animosity." Neither does Holmgren, who talks to Kitna from time to time and watches his progress from afar. " I check Jon 's stats every Monday- when I open the paper up and sec how he did," Holmgren said. "And except for this Sunday, I do root for him. He's one of the good guys I' ve met." · the road, Patriots up next BY HOWARD ULMAN Associated Press FOXBORO, Mass . William Gree n returns to New England and hi s road-tesred Cleveland teammates are happy to tag along. His running has been one constant in the Browns' offense of changing quarterbacks and linemen. The former Boston College star is listed as probable for Sunday's game with a shoulder onjury. · "It 's a good feeling for me, a ni ce homecoming," said Green, the AFC's fifth-leading rusher. 'T ve still got some friends up there.'' That's another boost on the road for a team that doesn 't need one. The Browns (3-4) are 2-1 away from home and 1-3 in Cleveland. In their last II road games, they' re 8-3. "Sometimes your team just takes on a personality or an attitude about 'us against the world' going on the road," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. The Patriots have the same 8-3 record in their two seasons at Gillette Stadium, playi ng on a familiar fie ld before supponive fans . "None of them are positives if you don't play well." Belichick said. The Patriots (5-2) are doing that, winning five of their last six games to t<tke the AFC East lead. Their improved run defense will focus on Green, but defenders must prepare for two quarterbacks. Cleveland coach Butch Davis doesn't plan to announce until just before game time if Kelly Holcomb or lim Couch will start. Bu.t he's already told the quarterbacks. "Your team truly believes in both of rh ese guys," Davis said. although consistent playcalling could suffer by using both . "When you are constantly changing your offe11sive line and qu arterback, then all of a sudden you are changing the play." . Holcomb started the fi rst three games. then missed the next thre" with a broken ri ght leg. Co uch started the other four, but was ineffective last Sunday and was replaced by Holcomb in a 26-20 loss to San Diego. "We felt that we needed a little bit of a BY JENNA FRYER Awssociated Press spark and (Holcomb) delivered that.'' Davis. said. "Now we have to eval uate how much ol a setback did he take from that ballgamc.'' Green wasn't at fu ll strength after that !lame. either. He rushed for 65 yards. but let t 111 the third quarter w.tth a shoulder problem. In his previous two games. he ran tor 11 5 and 145 yards. And the brui sed offensive line could be without three usual starters Sunday. "We need to find a way to win no matter what it takes," right tackle Ryan Tucker said. "This is a big week for us. but it seems they all are .'' . The Brown s are coming off a loss in which Holcomb rallied them from a 23-6 deficit but fell short as San Diego's LaDainian Tom linson rushed for 200 vards . Still. Cleveland ·has the NFL's si xth~best overall defe nse and best pass defense . The Patriots beat Miami 19- 13 in overtime to stretch their winning streak to three ga mes and end the Dolphins ' 13-game winning streak over them in September and October in Miami. "Do 1 look like I care about Mi ami right now"" Patriot s linebacker Tedy Bruschi said. "If you're the ne xt game on our sc hedule, yo u' re the biggest game to me and to everyone in thi s locker room."· The Patriots have overcome plenty of seri-. ous injuries th emselves. Linebacker Rosevelt Colvin is out for the season, linebacker Ted Johnson and nose · tac kl e Ted Washington have been sidelined for more th an a month. and cornerback Ty Law could miss his second straight game with ankle and rib problems. But three rookie starters played we ll on defe nse at Miami . "It's uni que to have yo ung guys step in and make the plays that these guy s are doin g," tac kle Matt Light said. One rookie, center Dan Koppen, blocked for Green for three years at Boston College. "If the hole wasn't there, which most of the time it was. he 's probably one of those guys that can make up so methin g and make his own play," Kopperl said. "That 's what playmakers do, and he's definitel y one of them.''

(AP) - Hunters likely will see fewer turkeys during the fall season that begins Saturday because of poor nesting conditions the past two years. "The overall outlook is down statewide," said Jim Pack, a turkey biologist with the . state Division of Natural Resources. Last year, 2,808 turkeys were killed during the fall season. Pack predicted 1,800 to 2,500 turkeys would be killed during the 2003 fall season, but said a lack of food in some areas could drive the total higher. Acorns and other socalled "hard mast" foods are not abundant or widely distributed this fall. "When mast conditions aren't good, !he kill usually goes up because turkeys tend to congregate in areas of relative mast abundance. It's easier for hunters to find them," Pack said. He said poor nesting seasons in the springs of 2002 and 2003 have put a significant dent in the number·of birds available to hunters. "If the numbers were better, I'd be more optimistic," he said. "But the numbers just aren't there." The fall turkey season is held in 26 counties, while the spring season is statewide. The fall season's length varies from one week in so-called "nontraditional" counties to four weeks in "traditional" counties. And, the season in Preston County runs two weeks. "Traditional" counties are Berkeley, Grant, Greenbrier, Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral, Monroe, Morgan, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Preston, Randolph, Tucker and Webster. "Nontraditional" counties are Brooke, Hancock, Jackson, Marshall, Mason, Monongalia, . Ohio, Ritchie, Tyler, Wirt · and Wood. Pack said hunters prob.ably will have the best iuck in counties along the Ohio River. "Brood reports in those counties th1s year were almost as good as they were last year," he said. "Hunters who usually come eastfor the fall season might just want to hunt along . the Ohio, because that's where the turkeys are going to be." PageB8 6unba!'

MILES lAYTON jl~yton@ mydailysenlinel.com : POMEROY - Two busloads of third-graders from Meigs Elementary School invaded the . Mei ~s County Courthouse and·seized on the living, breathing history Within the century-old walls · Wednesday morning . : The students were guided by members of the Seniors in Schools program, which is part of the Retired Senior Nolunteer Program (RSVP). lt is composed of a group of ~e nior citizens who volunteer their time to teach or tutor students. Rebecca Snowden, 52, volunteers one hour a week to talk to students about Meigs County history. She said the courthouse tour brings to life all the things she has been . . talking about. . · "I think I am makmg a dif'ference," she said. "I think )hey are learning and I think they need this hands-on expefience to learn more about the l:ounty." · . Diana Coates, director of ihe RSVP, said touring the C!:lurthouse has been an annuit event for a number of years. All three school districts in Meigs County partlclpate in the program. · · "The schools reall v like ~his program because there is no local history m school books," she said. "Kids really love this trip. They get to see the courthouse in action and what it means from a handsqn point of view that is different from reading about it." . For many students the first stop inside the courthouse was the Meigs County Clerk of Court 's office. Marlene Harrison, clerk of courts, talked abol!.l the role her office plays in keeping the historical records for the county. "There is a lot of paperwork done in our office," she said. "This is history and that is something that is very special." Harrison said that while her office is used primarily by attorneys, some people use it to trace their hentage through ~enealogy. She said it is very 1mportant that children know about their family background. Harrison di scovered that her grandparents were from Italy. Until the office became in I 996, computerized Hamson said the office did everything by hand. The students noted the large bound volumes of books filled with information. "I learned that they used big books back then , but now they use computers," said Hannah King, a third-grader. The next stop was Meigs County Court. Barbara Riggs, deputy clerk, W3f1!ed the students about obeymg traffic laws. Even though the third graders don't drive, one is never too young to learn that lesson as many people in Meigs County tend to forget after they get their license. More than 350 traffic cases were resolved through the Meigs County Court of Judge Steve L. Story last month. Meigs County .Treasurer Howard Frank gave a qmz to the teachers to see if they could determine how much !hey pay each year in taxes. The students loved seeing their teachers squirm for a bit while the veteran treasurer described part of the mathematical formula for millage. Ellen Johnson, 63, realizes how important it is to volun~r. "I do this because I ·like it," she said as she directed the kids to be quiet and listen. "A lot of the kids don '!'know what county they are from until we show them this place and teach them about our history." Before entering the Meigs County Court of Common Pleas, !he students received a stem lesson from a learned judge dressed in black robes who has sat on !he bench for a number of years listening to rich, poor, young and old. Meigs County Court of Common Pleas ll!dge Fred Crow ill swore in one student and made a few remarks about !he importance of the law. As the students began to enter Crow's courtroom, he told them to be very quiet because there was hearing in session. Jokingly, the judge warned the third-graders that the metal detector 's alarm would sound off if any of them tried to carry a gun or knife into the courtroom. ·Once inside the courtroom, the students were very quiet and well behaved. "I learned that there is a buzzer on the judge 's table . that he can push if any trouble happen s," said King about her first experience in a courtroom. The third-~raders took note Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank quizzes the teachers l1ke Sherry Hensler (in the white) of the shenff's department on what they pay each year in local taxes. (J.

In fact. it is one of the biggest and most important investments that you will make . Let me give you some tips to make your co ll ege euucation more affordable . First. consider taking classes at your local community college for the first year or two. If you are planning on ge tting a bachelor's degree. it . will take yo u at least four years of full -time study to complete the program. The first year or two is spent tak ing general st udies courses that are available at most local community colleges. Most community colleges are required to participate in a tran sfer module program whe reby ge neral studies courses are accepted as transfer credits at all State instituti ons. Since tuition at community colleges is usuall y significantly less than that of a fo ur-year uni ve rsi ty, this can amount to a .considerable sav ings on your college expe nses. While living in a college dormitory can provide you with unlimited college expe riences, it is pricey. Living on ca mpu s consists of paying both a charge for the room that you live in and a predetermined amount for a food service contract. Both of these items can add approxi ~ mutely an extra $5.000 to the cost of your college education annually. If you live close enough to commtrte to a col- Luanne Bowman lege. yo u can eliminate these costs. One way to cut down on the expenses associated with commuting is to cons iLler carpooling to campus with friends and neighbors. It may be easier than you think to coordinate yo ur schedule with your carpooling friends so that you have classes at approx imately the same time. Be sure and apply for finan cial aid each year. Thi s. includes all types of aid such as grants. loans and institutional scho larshi ps. Institutio nal scholarships have been establi shed by alumni and other friends of the college for the benefit of curre nt students. These scholarships come in many for ms and the sc holarship donor sets th e criteria for awa rdin g the furid s. Scholarships can be based upon fin ancial need or some other criteria such as the high school that you attended, the program of study that you are entering or your cou nt y of residence. These scholarships are free money that doesn't have to be paid back to the institution . You must apply to be eligible to receive these scholarships. In fact, some institutional scholarships go unawarded each year simply because no one applies who meets the establ ished cri teria. It is a fa.:;t that tex tbooks are expensive. but they are a requirement fo r every successful college student. One option to consider is purchasing used textbooks. Used textbooks cost about 25% kss than the price of a new textbook . When you consider th at the cost of new textbooks for a full -time student averages about $400 a semester, the savings can add up over your college career. If you don't think that you can affo rd four years of college, consider obtaining an Associate Degree that can be earned in two years. Some of today's hotte st careers are ava ilable to indiv iduals with Associate Degrees, including information technology, nursing, and radi ologic technology. Paying only tw o years of college tui tion is certainl y much cheaper than paying for fo ur years. There are many ways to make college more afford-' able. Talk to your hi gh school guidance co un se lor or call your local commllliity college today and put college in. your future.

You may remember that Chase was stuck in the head by the iron head of a golf club shaft. The head, which had broken away from the shaft flew through the air, ricocheted off a tree. and landed shaft -end against Chase's head. He was taken first to Pleasant Valley Hospital, then life-fl ighted to Huntington where he spent nine days. He is now undergoing therapy. While Chase has had no mobility problems, he has had some problems with his vision and formulating thoughts, but his Dad reports things are improving as time moves along. Meanwhile, it's been difficult for the family in more ways than one. Chase isn't now and probably won't be able to return to his teaching job .at Huntington-Ross High School near Chillicothe for some time. Having taught only a couple of years, Chase dqesn't qualify for temporary dis-ability. That takes five years. However, since he had been in the U. S, Marines for four years he qualifies to "buy" time from the State Teachers Retirement System to get the cred it he needs. That takes about $8,000. His co-workers at the school are in the process of raising the money. Chase's wife. Shannon, continues to work at WalMart, and the community continues to be concerned and supportive.

Life has a funny way of always moving forward yet •never really going anywhere. •Throughout hi story, from the :ancients to our present day Jives, th ere has alway s been confl ict - be it of lands, reli·gion , or philosophical doc trines. And each has harbored .powerful authorities, render-ing their beliefs as proven absolutes with little, if any .tolerance for the few, courageo us soul s who dared speak openly against them. . Two men , one aut hor and two gloriously-made books reveal how self-determina.tion, abundant curiosity, and a wi llingness to trust in one's beliefs against the status quo can at once reward them great honor and just as quickly befall them inconsolable misery.

Kennedy a·n'd his family taken by his personal photographer. Jacq ues Lowe. Lowe kept the negatives secure for decades. finally depositing them in a bank vault at the World Trade Center. When the towers fell on Sept. II. 200 I. just months after Lowe's death, the vault became part of the rubble. Miraculously, the vault was found. But it was empty · when Lowe' s daughter, Thomasina, went to claim it early last year. " I was . bew ildered. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing," she recalled. ''I was grateful that my dad hadn 't had to bear thi s; it would have de~troyed him.'' But thanks to new tec hnologies. Lowe's work was not completely go ne. "Remembering Jack : Intimate and Unseen of the Photographs Kennedys" was published thi s month. on the 40th anniversary 'of John F. Kennedy 's death. It is a book of images culled from existing prints and ne verbefore-seen contac t sheets. Photographer Bob Adelman. a longtime friend of Lowe's, began · working on a boo k of Lowe's work shortly after he died in May 200 I. Adelman went through all the contact sheets Lowe kept in his downtown Manhattlln studio. He planned to pick the images for the book from the contact sheets, then print them from the negatives stored in the safe. With the negatives gone. "I was pretty discouraged.'' Adelman said. But not deterred. Adelman and Thomasina Lowe thou ght there might be another way - and they consu I ted technicians on whether good reproductions could be made from the small contact sheet images. "It was a real shot in the dark," Lowe 's daughter said. "We were really kind of hoping for the best.'' What they got exceeded their expectations. Advances in printing. and digital technology resulted in a slew of quality images with remarkable clarity. The contact sheets them· selves. some bearing the red pencil marks Jacques Lowe used to identify the images he planned to pri nt, also have been included in the book. Printing the entire sheet gives viewers t,he advantage of seeing images that came ri ght before and after the shot selected bv Lowe for .printing ; it has the effect of a movie reel. Man y of these outtake s have never been seen by the public; of the more than 600 black-and-white photos in the book, half are previm\sly unpublished. "It's sort of interesting to see the pictures in context," Adelman said. "It gives the reade r kind llf a fe el in\.! home mos ic ... - the u11in~ured ne Qa t i \· e~.

Most professional digital SLR cameras offer two auto-focus modes. One mode lets you take a picture only when the focu s is locked. However, if the subject moves after the focus is locked, the subject may be out of focu s. The other AF mode tracks moving subjects . In many cases, focus tracking works very well - but it is possible to take an out-of-focus picture when the camera is set to thi s mode (the theory being that a slightly out-of-focus pi cture might be preferable to no picture at all ). Of course, a very inexpensive lens, condensation or a smudge on the lens, very soft lighting conditions and a subject with little detail are possible culprits for a soft picture. Keep these and the other factors that can make a picture look soft in· mind, and you'll get a higher percentage of sharp shots. Occasionally you see an unusual type of cabbage offered in seed catalogs, one whose dmwn out stalk is reputedly used for walking sticks: the "Walking Stick Giant Cabbage." It is hard to believe that a cabbage stalk could make a sturdy walki ng >lick. And wouldn't min and mud reduce it to a slimy mush'! If you compost your spent vegetables and plants, as you should , you will become a believer in wa lking stick cabbages.

But recent breakthroughs are. giving us some very sharp insights into those questions:· · The first moments of "The Elegant Universe " find Greene at the front door of the Princeton, N.J., hou se where Albert Einstein lived and worked. And where, with Einstein 's passing a half-century ago, he left unfulfilled his dream of finding a unified th eory that could gove rn everything in the universe. ln. his earthshak ing theory of general relati vity, publi shed in 1916, Einstein argued that the three dimensions of space and the si ngle dimension of time are woven into an orderly, smooth fabric qf "space-time," against which gravity asserts itself like someone on a trampo1i ne. Thi s was a re volutionary way In ex press the behavior of big and heavy objects, such as slars and galaxies.

String theory, says Greene in the film , proposes that "everythin g in the universe, from th e ,tiniest particle to the most dis- tant star. is made from one kind of ingredi ent: unimaginably small , vibrating strands of energy called strings." Turns out th e subatomi c billiard ball s we learned about in sc hool mi ght be composed of even smaller animated pasta. "As they vibrate in a multitude of different ways , they are making not notes but all the constituents of nature ." A sort of "cosmic symphony,'' string.theory can signal a major shift in thinking.

Well , oil will be just a greasy memory, so no NASCAR or Formula I. One possible alternative is dazzlingly displayed in "F-Zero GX ," from Amusement Vision and Nintendo for the GameCube. Rocket-powered cars, lifted from the track by antigravity, speeding at hundreds of miles an hour along tracks that soar and drop amid vast, futurist landscapes - that's the vi sion of the future in "FZero GX." It's the latest iteration of a game series Nintendo inventeel way back in 1990 with the introduction of "F-Zero" for the Super NES. A full field of racers is launched at the starting gun, and speeds immediately blast into triple digits. The tracks twist and turn, sending you careening along as landmarks blast by almost too fast to see. Standing on the accelerator gets you slammed into walls ; you have to blend speed with finesse as you make dozens of decisions a lap- where to trigger your boost, which jacks your speed into the : supersonic but adds new con: trol problems; where to use :the shoulder buttons to ease · your way around corners; and when to attack your opponents before they attack you. Using the booster adds a whole new level to both the speed and control of the car. Use it wisely, as it sucks the life out of your shields, which protect your car from damage when it hits railings or other barriers, or you come under attack from other drivers. To add to the fun, there are scads of way s to cu stomize your car, and every track is radically different from the one before . Some feature breaks in the track, which drop you hundreds of feet through space. Getting your car to land on the track when it resumes far below you isn't as easy as it sounds . Ultimately, there are almost three dozen cars available, with each offering its own characteristics and qualities. Cars have ratings for the things you worry about ability to absorb puni shment, boost and grip. Starting off with Captain Falcon 's Blue Falcon· is your best bet, since it's the best balanced. Later, you can choose vehicles which more closely mirror your own abilities and interests. There' s also a four -play split-screen mode that works well, and a Story mode full of strange and wonderful cutscene peeks into Captain Falcon's life and times. The game supports the Logitech Speed Force steering wheel, which should make it even more entertaining . Howe ver, the controller works fine. The secret of success is memorization of the tracks. Things happen so quickly that you have little time to react to turns and barriers. Running each· track until you know how it twists and turn s is the secret to placing well . Graphics ge t a B. The tracks and environments are vast, and feature beautiful color and texture. It's easy to believe you're in a brave new world. Sound gets another B.

This is pretty much a pick-up-andplay title ; it will take you about half an hour to becOIJle proficient at herding your car around the simpler tracks. "F-Zero GX" gets a B+ . If you don't get hooked after the first race, go back to golf. This is an exciting step up in futuristic racing, and with dozens of features and options to explore, it will keep you busy for weeks. A possible drawback is the dramalic increase in difficulty as the game proceeds. But since when is difficulty a problem for the real garners? "F-Zero GX" is rated T, for ages I 3 and up.

Ash Wednesday debut for Mel Gibson's 'Passion of Christ' LOS ANGELES (AP) Mel Gibson's passion-stirring Biblical epic ,;The Passion of Christ" will open in the United States on Feb. 25 - Ash Wednesday on the Chri stian calendar. The Oscar-winning " Bravehea rt" director and Newmarket Films announced a deal Thursday to dis tribu te Gibson's embatt led film about the lasi hours of Jesus Chri st's life. The film has drawn complaints from some Jewish leaders, who say it suggests Jews were responsible for Cfrrist's death. Conservative Catholics who have seen the film have called it a powerful rendering of Christ's cru• cifixion. Gibson spent a re ported $30 mi llion to produce the movie. which he has defended as faithful to the Gospds. In r~ s ponsc to worries by Jewish groups. he has said the film is intended "to inspire . not offend." In 1965 , the Second Vati can Co un ci l of th e Roman Catholic Church fo rmall y rejected Jew ish cul pability in Chri st's death . But Gibson belongs to an ultraconservative Catholic movement that rejects the refo rms of the Second Vatican Co un c il and th e legitimacy of th e cu rrent Vatican leadership. ;'The Passion of Christ'' stars Jim Caviezel as Christ and Monica Bellucci as Marv Magdalene.

(AP) - From the art scene to the dramatic Rio Grande Gorge, to towering mountain forests. and earthy Indian homesteads. Taos is a traveler's dream. A first-time visitor, I was exhilarated by its diverse beauty, cultural offerings and outdoor activities. Not only is thi s small city steeped in history. but it is also a major artists' colony and a four-season destination featurin g everything from fall hikes to whitew ater rafting in the warmer months, and worldrenowned skiing. Taos is set at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico, which derives its charm from the blend of American Indian, Spanish settlers and Anglo pioneers' colleeti ve heritage. My infatuation with the city began when I arrived at the Old Taos Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast It is housed in a 180-year old adobe home set on seven flower-tilled, tree-s haded acres overlooking the mountains. The sunset views from the hot tub are amazing. And the day starts with delicious breakfasts of fresh-baked muffins and egg dishes typi call y doctored with cheese, chilies and spices. It would have been easy to sit on the patio, sipping coffee with a good book, but there was much to see. Gallerie s abound on the with the surrounding mountains. There is no electricity or running water at the pueblo and bread is still baked in outdoor domed ovens. Shopping at the pueblo gives you an opportunit y to meet those who make the ceramics and turquoi se jewelry that are sold all over town, and bargaining is easier there. We visited during one of several annual "corn dances," performed throug hout the year to pray for a good harvest. About 40 women and three bare-chested men, their long hair decorated with a single feather, danced throughout the pueblo while chanted, tribal elders drummed and shook rattles. These dances are authentic rituals, not just gimmicks for tourists, so no photos are allowed. Make sure to explore the mountains and the Rio Grande that are so crucial to Taos' identity. Many tl ock to Taos in winter to ski . although beginners and intermediates may find the terrain difficult. For non-sk iers, locals say it's best to visit Taos in the fall because summer crowds have vanished and the August rains revi-talize the landscape. There 's great hiking through pi,ne forests choked with wrld flowers. In summer or spring, yo u city's Town Square. Agnes Martin, the well-known Minimalist, lives in Taos; locals know her by the big white Cadillac she drives .

The Millice nt Rogers Mu seum is dedicated to the works of Hispanic and Native American artists. Rogers, an heir to the Standard Oil fortune, fe ll in love with Taos. The museum houses her collection of jewelry, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, paintings and other objects. The museum's religious art infuses the traditional European style of the Old Masters with the more prrmttlve, colorful painting of Latin America and American Indians. The collection includes diverse depictions of th e Virgin Mary. But don 't spend_ all your time visiting mu se ums.

PER PERSQN ball that new lywed American Sarah Jordan (Julie) and her British hubby are attending. Nick, a doctor at an Ethiopian camp tending 30,000 starving residents, makes a fierce con- . demnation of charity politics that have cut off his supplies. With implausible schoolgirl pep, Sarah is moved to cash out her bank account, buy truckloads of food and medicine and head off to Nick's camp. The re. she gets tough lessons in the compromises of altruism, while Nick treats Sarah contemptuously as an interloper playing weekend Mother Teresa. Yet Sarah's naive bullheadedness softens Nick's hard heart, and you just know the next time these two meet, they' ll tumble into bed. Cut "to Cambodia, 1989, where Nick and Sarah tumble into bed after a jungle trek leadi ng locals to safety from th e Khmer Rouge. Six years later, Nick is taken hostage in Chcchnya. and Sarah is off again, on a mi ssion to rescue her man. The movie deteriorates from tedious but credible glimpses of aid workers in Eth iopi a, to a dreary flin g in Cambodia. and finally to a grotesquely hollow conclusion amid Sarah and Nick's outlandis h escapades in Chechnya. Through it all, the victims and aid wo rkers to whom the movie is dedi cated gradu all y become marginali zed, until all that's left on screen is the egoce ntric romance of two little people whose problems don't amount to a hill ,of beans in thi s crazy world. . the problem of school shootings. (That segment, by th e way, was the most moving part of his entire fi lm .) Van Sant, who previously explored troubled youth with "My Own Private Idaho. " "Drugstore Cowboy" and even the feel-good "Finding Forrester," seems less interested , in pointing fingers; he'd rather let the events of the day play out, and challenges us to interpret answers for ourselves. And there are no easy answers. Alex (Alex Frost) and Eric( Eric Deulen) seem to be misfits. The popular kids tease them. They' re into guns. they play violent video games and watch a TV show about Hitler. Before going on their shooting spree, they share a tentative kiss. All of this - or none of this - could have driven them to kill . Van San! also challenges us simply to pay atten ti on, employing the same extreme minimalism that made his ti lm "Gerry" - in whic h Matt Damon and Casey Aftleck trekked through the desert and barely spoke so agonizing. This time, Van San! uses the technique much more powerfully. With long tracking shots, he follows several students as they walk across campu s, through the halls, into classrooms. into the bathrooms.

Hospital and tlealth-system jlhannacists have been able to take on enhanced patient-care roles because of a number of factors. including the deployment of highly tminecl certified ted1nicians. tmd new technologies like robotics that dispense medications. As technology evolves. such as the addition of machinereadable bar codes to medication labels, patienb will have greater opponunities to have a pharmacist involved in U1eir care. " Hol zer is inve sting in patient safe ty by implementing th ese syst ems in our facil ilies." says Kimble. To ensure medications are useu safely and effectively, pharmacists recommend that patients keep a list of all medicmions. including prescription and non-prescription drugs; maintain a list of medications you cannot take (for reasons like al lerroic reactions); learn the names o the drug products that are prescribed to you. as well as their dosage strength and schedules; learn any fOOds or drinks that should not be mixed with the prescription : and question anything that you do not understand or does not seem right.

Homeowners should pay particular attention to the amount of protective compounds and longer warranty that come with better grades of vinyl. Quality vi nyls have higher concentrations of impact modifiers and Ultra Violet (UV) inhibitors. Impact modifiers provide strength, while UV inhibitors protect against brittleness. Top-grade fencing will have a lifetime warranty and adhere to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) guidelines. The war- ranty for lower grade vinyls may be limited to a few years, if that. The average installed fence in North America is 200 feet in total length. Consumers should expect to pay $25 ·to $55 per running foot for a vinyl fence, ir\cluding installation. Variables include the height of the fence and the number of gates. Vmyl comes in traditional white as well as tan, gray and khaki. Newer vinyls even mimic a wood grain. Because vinyl fence has some unique installation requirements, Harsch recommends homeowners hire professionals. "A professional Senior Center visit nets 88 units of blood for Red Cross SPORTS STAFF REPORT • Eastern tops Southern to close out season.

"They know how to overcome the little things, like what to do when you hit a tree root or a rock ." The installer should be certified by the American Fence Association. The Association Web site is www.americanfenceassociation.com. The biggest seller in non-wood fencing? A 6-foot privacy fence. "Really, the smaUer the yani, the bigger the need for fencing," says Harsch. "It defines your area and gives you the privacy you want. Tlmt's what a fence is for. But there's no need to maintain it year in and year out. That hassle has been taken care of."

MILES lAYTON jlayton@mydaitysentlnel .com MIDDLEPORT _ The realty company building a senior living center in Rutland will exam· ine the possibility of developing an apartment community on the site of the Middleport High School building. Joe Woltla, a developer with Legends Realty Co., based in Beech Grove, Ind., met with Middleport Village Council at a special meeting Thursday to discuss the building's potential as an apartment building. The building, which most recently housed the Meigs Middle School, is now proper· ty of the Village of Middleport. but a citizens committee which has been raising funds for the development of building is officially charged with developing plans for~Wolfla said he has, wi(h cooperation from _the village and citizens committee, performed a preliminary inspec· tion of the high school building. as well as the Central Building located just behind it. The soundness of the structure, the good condition of the buildings' interiors, and, particularly, the relatively new heating systems in each. make them both good candidates for rehabilitation and conversion into apartment housing. While the Rutland senior living center now planned would be restricted to those over 55 who meet income guidelines, any apartment complex the firm would develop on the middle school site would not be tied to any HUD funding, and would be operated by his firm as a for-proftt enterprise, and open to ail ages and income categories, Wolna said. Wolfla said the football stadium and grounds are also valuable assets, and could aid in the development of a "whole community" on the South Third Avenue property. "The biggest problem with this building is the plumbing, but the electrical work can be easily upgraded," Wolfla said.
