John Clark/The Gazette

Fenton, Mo., driver Ken Schrader has won four Winston Cup races but
none since 1991. The last time he finished In the top flve was In 1998.

Valley

en Schrader hasn't won a race
since June 2, 1991. He hasn't
finished better than eighth in a
race this year.
But, for BAM Motorsports, Schrader has been quite the acquisition. The
veteran driver has made the starting
field in 32 of the season's 35 races,
which, for BAM, is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
BAM stands for "Beth Ann Morgenthau." She is the owner, along
with husband Tony. Mrs. Morgenthau
built her team from scratch and, as is
commonly the case in such programs,
it has been a long, difficult climb to
respectability.
Respectability, in fact, is Schrader's legacy. What the team needs now
is additional fund ing in the form of a
primary, season-long sponsorship for
2004.
.
"We know every race is important
to us right now," said Schrader, 48.
"Every race puts us 'on stage,' either
through NBC or the people in the
grandstands and suites or both. We're
talking to companies now about 2004,
and they're watching what we're do·
ing on the track.
"There are others out there who
haven't spoken with us yet, but gooo
runs could open their eyes to what
this team is capable of doing."
Schrader has been around since he
competed for the first time in Winston Cup on July 14, 1984, in
Nashville, Tenn.- a track no longer
on the schedule. He was rookie of the
year in 1985 but didn't win for the
first of four times until the Talladega
500, run on July 31, 1988.
"There's been a lot of competitive
improvement for us throughout the
year," Schrader said. "We've had
good times and some not -so-good
times but, by and large, the team is
significantly better than it was when
the season began, and it's going to be
even better next year.''

The cast has been rehearsing since June, and have

under the direction of Kim

POMEROY - The consecration of Gene Robinson, a

GALLIPOLIS
The

The
Tobacco Use Prevention and
Control Foundation, is planning a free 8-week smoking
cessation clinic for pregnant
women and new mothers.

the habit," specifically smokers who ,are pregnant, or those
who have recently de li vered.
One aspect of the clinic
will be Fresh Stan Family,

Respect, love for all focus of URG program
BY ANDREW CARTER

aca rter@ myda1lylribune.com
RIO GRANDE - We need
to respect and Jove each other
despite our differences.
That. in a nutshell. was the
clear m es~ ag e to all who
attended a disntssion on

University uf Rio Grande/R io
Grande Community College .
Marshall Kimmel. URG chaplains coordinator. said he wanted
to provide an educational forum
lor studcms and m·ca residents to
talk about divisions in the communi tv and air thei r views.
"We know there are some
divisions. some polarizations."
he said. "Some l&lt;1lk s would
rather not ""'x:iale with other
folks and 'n Iilith. but there's so ·
much talent. so much in formation, so much good things that
can come from mi xin!? all of tile
cultu res together. To me. grem
advancements in science. great
a&lt;!yancemcnts in sol.'iology.
great advancements in humanities come strict ly by the associ- .
ation of uifferenl folks from difterent pl&lt;tces from different
areas. diH'erent walks of life.
" It 's important that we continue our growt h by incorpor;,ting all the penple that walk
the face of this earth ."
Kimmel s;rid llie panel discussions. wh ich have been conducted over the l•tsl tivc ye&lt;u'S at Rio
Gmncle, were ;m ou1growtl1 of
concems expressed during the
university\ chaplaincy meeti11gs.
"We decicled thi s type of

craft fe stival s and outdoor drama s?
They 're activities enjoyed by tr?velers, but more specifically, they all fit into a newly-defmed area of tounsm: agntourism .
A ori culture and tourism ? Could these two industries effec. tively partner to offer exciting, interesting and enduring activities for a diverse group? They certainly can 1
.· A t the Gallia County Convention and Visitors ' Bureau. we
. have embarked on a media campaign to promote our rich agri cultural heritage, focusing on enjoyable. family-oriented
activities . A gri-tuuri sm is more than farm tours and farmers'
markets. althou gh these are appealing tourist activities. This
form of ldurism also offers a wide variety of outdoor activilies including canoeing, U-pick farms (like strawberries or
pumpkins), corn mazes, outdoor dramas. craft shopping, hunting, fi shing, hiking , four-wheeling, rafting and much more.
The Convention and Visitors' Bureau recently recetved a
grant from the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community
· Development Foundation (SOACDF) to produce televtston
commercial s highlighting Gallia County 's agriculturally rich
touri sm potentiaL ·
·w e had two goals in writing the grant. ' explains Becky
Collins Nesbitt. Ohio State University Exten sion Agent. 'We
wanted to showcase and promote agriculture as an important

· llur talented crafters and arti sans, to further develop and
enhance ag-related tourism sites:
· 'Touri sm is such an important component in the economic
. development of Gallia County and we must continue to
· expand it,' she added.
With the grant dollars from SOACDF, the Visitors' Bureau
.js producing two 30-second ads which aired in September in
:t he Pittsburgh , Cincinnati, Cleveland and Charleston markets.
· 1'he Bureau will al so create a brochure to highlight crafters

.
·. · Why is agri -tourism the fastest growing segment in the
, tourism industry'! Because it offers the quiet charm of country
li'fe. laced with old-fashioned hospitality in a scenic setting.
Whether tourists are looking for a relax.ing atmosphere to
golf, fi sh. hunt, bike or do genealogy research , it can be found
in the rural settings of Gallia County. .

tant than their conversation,
whi ch, according to Ted. is
usually about who gets to use
the law firm 's tickets to sporting events.
THIS is when you need a
workin g ' close door ' button.
Although st)me people feel
even
stronger measures
would be needed. A reader
named Mike Seidel propose s
th at ' the answer is to have
th e door behave normally
for on e holding (i. e., if
someone is legitimately running for the elevator and
needs to stop it). After that ,
however,
adamantium
blades shoot out and lop off
any &lt;~ppendages "holding the
doors open .'
Another reader. · Barry
Sullivan , proposes that: 'The
answer is to apply voltage to
the elevator doors as they are
held open. This could be
ramped up to , say, 5,000
volts over I 0 secnnd s. So let
go or die.'
Of cour.se these me&lt;Jsures
could result in hideously
gory
mishaps,
possibly
involving senior partners.
There probably are also disadvanta ges , although none
come to mind. So to the Los
Alamos scientim, I say :
Forget the space elevator. If
Y'.'u want to help humanity,
ta ckle the jerks-holdingdoors problem, so humanity
can get to its floor and get
off. Becau se it smells in here.

all 750 copies before the
signing began, and Lynch
continued to sign autographs
after 7 p.m., fighting fatigue

Dressed in her favorite

PITTSBURGH (AP ) Thr nation 's biggest known
outbreak of hepatitis A is
causing such a panic that
people are lining up by the
thousands for antibody shots
and no longer eating out.
A third person died Friday
and nearly 500 others who
ate at a Chi -Chi's Mexican
restaurant have fa ll en ill in
the outbreak that has prompted the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention to
send assistance.
Hea lth investigators are
focusing on whether contaminated produce - perhaps
scallions - caused the outbreak at the restaurant in the
Beaver Valley Mall , about 25
miles
northwest
of
Pittsburgh.
"We' re very concerned. It 's
very serious and w.e ' ve sent a
team of people out there to
assist," 5aid CDC spokesman
David Daigle .
Health officials Friday met
with worried shoppers at the
mall to try to squelch rumors
that the virus was spreading
out of control -to other restaurants in the region . State Rep.
Mike Veon attended a news
conference at the mall and ate
a sandwich he bcught there.
Ofticials at the mall said
sales at the food court were
off by as much as 40 percent
and sales throughout the mall
were down up to 25 percent.
"I won't go to Chi-Chi 's
again," Barbara Barrickman
said as she shopped at the
mall. "I know that's unfair,
but that's just how I feel."
At least 490 people have
been sickened in the outbreak
- believed to be the largest
on record in the Umted
States, Daigle said.

reduce the chances of contracting the disease if given
within 14 days after exposure.
About 8,500 people have
received the shots at a gymnasium near the restaurant
and at surrounding health
centers since the cases began
appearing at the start of the
month.
Health offici als initially
suspected Chi-Chi's employees who had fai led to wash
their hands were the source
of the infection . Investigators
are now focu sing on food, but
have not rul ed anything out.
Infectious-disease experts
say finding the source could
be challenging because
hepatitis A has a long incubation period, meaning the
virus could spread to many
places before it is detected .
Pennsylvania health officials

Judge lets case of brain-damaged
woman proceed, says Gov. Bush
can't stop husband's suit
CLEARWATER , Fla. (AP)
- A man who has fought a
long legal battle to remove
the feeding tube from his
brain-damaged wife, only to ·
have the state pass a special
law to thwart him , won
another round in court Friday
when a judge 'ruled that his
suit agianst Gov. Jeb Bush
may proceed.
After a short hearing,
Circuit Judge W. Douglas
Baird said Michael Schiavo
had successfully . defended
Terri Schiavo's right not to be
kept alive artificially. Any
delays in removing the feeding tube and letting her die
violate her consitutional right
to privacy, the judge said.
"The deprivation of this
right is immediate, ongoing
and presumptively unconstitutional ," Baird said from the
bench.
Michael Schiavo had his

wife 's feeding tube removed
last month after years of legal
battles with her parents, but
the governor ordered the tube
reinserted six days later
under a hastily passed state
law. Schiavo then sued Bush.
Bush's attorneys appealed,
triggering an automatic stay,
but the judge overrode the
stay Friday and gave Bush's
attorneys until Monday to
submit a brief defending -the
mnstitutionality of the new
law.
The judge said the new
law's constitutionality will be
determined in another hearing, which hasn ' t been scheduled.
Terry Schiavo suffered
severe brain damage in 1990
when her heart temporarily
stopped, cutting off oxygen
to her brain . After testimony
from doctors, a judge ruled
that she is in a persistent veg-

etative state with no hope for
recovery.
Her husband says she
would not want to be kept
alive artificially, while her
parents dispute the finding s
and believe she could
improve with therapy.
Schiavo's attorney, George
· Fe los, said Bush's appeal was
a delaying tactic and Baird's
ruling recognized that.
. "We're obviously very
pleased with the judge's decision to vacate the stay," Felos
said. He called on Bush to
abandon any further delays
and allow the matter to be litigated.
Amy Quezon, who argued
the motion on behalf of Bush,
declined to comment.
Offtcials in Bush's office
have denied trying to delay
the case, saying that they are
just trying to make Fe los fol low the rules.

ous language that would never
.be tolerated from an attorney
and will no longer be tolerated
from thi s defendant."
She told him to stop "further frivolous , scandalous,
disrespectful or repetitive
pleadings" or motions that
. violated court orders. She has
told him repeatedly not to try
to use his motions to contact
al-Qaida sympathizers from
his isolated quarters in the
Alexandria Detention Center.
While Brinkltrila did not
publicly release the two
Moussaoui motions that led
to her order. the last filing she
did make public, dated Oct.
27, was typical of the French
citizen's rhetoric .
Moussaoui said he wants
"anthrax for Jew sympathizer
only," called Attorney General
John
Ashcroft
"the
Democratic Jerk" and referred
to Brinkema as "Leonie you
. Despotically Judge." ·
Moussaoui, an acknowl.edged Osama bin Laden loyalist, is chBiged with participating in a broad conspiracy
with the Sept. II , 2001 ,
hijackers to commit terrorism
again st the United States.
Frank Dunham Jr., a
Moussaoui lawyer and a federal public defender, said, "It was
a front page story when he fired

us, but it 's not a front pa~e
story that the court fired him.'
Another of the defense
lawyers, Edward MacMahon
Jr., said, "I would think any
defendant would benefit from
competent
counsel
as
opposed to trying to represent
htmself in a capttal case."
He said Moussaoui's refusal
to cooperate "is certain\ y not
an opllmal situation. It would
.be a lot better if we had a
client who could cooperate,
but apparently, that's not the
way it s going to be."
The Justice Departme nt ·
had no comment.
·
The judge had granted
Moussaoui the right of selfrepresentation on June 14,
2002. From now on, Brinkema
said Friday, she will accept
only pleadings submitted by
the lawyers, while any motion
submitted by Moussaoui "will
si mply be received for
archival purposes."
She satd Moussaoui had 10
days to file a written notice of
appeal.
The last strnw for Brinkema
apparently was the pair of
recent motions. One requested a
classified congressional report
concerning Sept. II , and the
other asked for reconsideration
of the judge's order imposing
penalties on the government.

Judge ends Moussaoui role as his own lawyer
ALXEANDRIA, Va. (AP)
AI-Qaida defendant
Zacarias Moussaoui, who
filed one too many pretrial
motions that a judge deemed
insulting, lost the nght to represent himself but gained an
experienced defense team.
Sixteen months after she let
Moussaoui begin serving as
his own lawyer, U.S. District
Judge Leonie Brinkema
revoked that right Friday in
the only U.S. case arising
from the Sept. II attacks.
Moussaoui, who doesn ' t
speak with the legal team that
has remained in the case on
orders from the judge, will
have to cede control over his
defense to the attorneys.
The major impact of the
change would occur if the case
should go to trial. Moussaoui
would have the benefit of
experienced lawyers who previously would have been relegated to an advisory role at
best before a jury.
.
The lawyers have continued
to play a significant role in
pretrial matters, filing motions
that have won Moussaoui several legal victories.
Brinkema, who last week
warned Moussaoui she might
revoke his self-representation,
said Moussaoui 's latest
motions " include contemptu-

Marshall still
believes it can
go to a bowl

e men w1n
BY

BRAD SHERMAN

bsherman@mydailytribune.com
RIO GRANDE - Two weeks ago,
Tiffin spoiled Rio Grande's hopes of a
perfect regular campaign by earning a
1- l tie in the season finale.
And there was no team the Redmen
wa nted to face more in the NAIA
Region IX Men 's Soccer Champion ship
Saturday than the Drago ns - they got
their wish and their revenge.
"We were definitely wanting the
rematch because of that, plus honesty,
its the best two teams in the region,"
said Rio Grande coach Scott Morrissey.
"It's always good to settle the Regional
championship with the two best teams."
Rio dominated most of the match , but
had to stave off a late rally to earn a 2.1 victory and third consecutive
Regional title.
With the Redmen leading 2-nil and
just under eight minutes remaining,
Tiffin forward Ron Mugabi cut the lead
in half with a header off a crossing pass.
The goal shifted momentum to the
Dragons' side .
"I thought defensively, we didn' t stay
with the runner," Morrissey said of the
lone Tiffin goal. "It was a simple mistake and it let them in the game. They
weren't in this game from the start until
that point."
Two excellent scoring opportunities
ensued for Tiffin.
Several minutes after Mugabi's score,
a scramble in front of the Rio goal
resulted in what appeared to be the
equalizing score. However, a foul was
called and the goal was disallowed.
Then with I :41 left, Rio goalkeeper
Oliver Sanders stopped one last sconng
threat by Tiffin when he smothered a
shot that was fired toward the near post .
Sanders recorded seven saves on the
afternoon.
Rio improves to 20-0- 1 and moves on
to the NAIA National Tournament,
which gets underway this week at
Oletha, Kansas. The field has increased
to 20 teams, up from 161ast season. It is
unclear who the Redmen will face as of
press time.
Rio will enter the tourney as one of
the favorites to capture the national
championship, but Morrissey knows it
won't be easy.
"There 's probably a dozen teams in
the country that are good enough to win
the national championship," he admitted. "You have to have luck and have
everybody being healthy."

Redmen blank Notre Dame in semifinals
BY ANDREW CARTER

sports@ mydailytribune.com
RIO GRANDE - Three
goals in a 30-minute span in
the second half propelled the
University of Rio Grande to a
4-0 victory over Notre Dame
College in the semifinals of
the NAIA Region IX tournament Friday.
The Redmen ( 19-0-1 ),
seeded No. I in the tournament and ranked No. I in the
NAIA, got off to a slow start
in the first half, but found
their stride midway through
the opening period and found
the net late to grab a 1-0 halftime advantage.
Ben Calion scored in the
41st minute off an assist by
Sean Wiseman for what
proved to be the match-winning goal. Wiseman, following a long run down the left
wing, knocked a cross to the
far post where Calion tapped
in for the lead .
"I thought we started a little
bit slow," said Redmen head

coach Scott Morri ssey. "I
think the wind was a little bit
of a factor in the first half. I
don' t know - maybe they
were looking ahead (to
Saturday' s
championship
match). Certainly, we hoped
that they wouldn't be and we
talked about not having that
happen and that kind of a letdown.

If success is a 1rue measure of excellence, then
Wahama head coach Ed Cromley has seen his
fare share of excellence.
Leading his White Falcons to a secondstraight unbeaten regular season, Cromley has
been named coach of the year as Wahama is currently still alive in the West Vtrginia Class A
playoffs after beating Doddridge County 71-6
Friday.
One of Waharna's strengths nas been its running game, which compiTed over 3,000 yards
this season.
·
Helping lead that ground game is Johnny
Barton, who joins ~ohnson in the backfield of
this year's OVP Super 25.
Also in the offensive backfield is Eastern's
Bryan Minear, who had close to I ,400 yards
rushing this season.
Meanwhile, River Valley's Joey Graham didn't put up ihe big numbers, but his ability to
break tackles and turn potential losses,into gains
earns the senior tailback/quarterback a spot
along side Barton and Minear.

Rio downs Houghton
BY BRAD SHERMAN

bsherman @mydailytribune.com
RIO GRANDE - When
can a basketball team shoot a
lower percentage from the
field than its opponent, commit 25 turnovers and sti ll win
by 20 points? When the other
team turns it over 4 I times
and only takes 34 shots thats when .
Th~t scenario played out
Friday night as the Rio
Grande Redwomen kept their
perfect early season record in
tact with a 64-44 win over
Houghton College at the
Bevo Franci s Classic.
While both teams struggled
at the offsenive end, the Rio
. defense stepped up again. The
·Red women are only giving up
·52 points per game on average.
"We ' II alway s take a
·(win )," Rio Grande coach
David S'malley. "I thought we
. did some pretty good things
·defensively."
· The Redwomen amassed 23
steals as a team and allowed
· just 16 field goals on the
night.
The win improved Rio
Grande to 3-0, while the loss
served as the. season opener
for Houghton.
Rio put that unblemished
mark on the line against No.
20 Bethel College (4-3) in a
late game on Saturday, results
were not available at press
time.
Alkia Fountain led the
Red women on Friday with II
points while frontcourt mate
Tiffany Hager added eight
points and eight rebounds .
But Rio 's real strength
emerged from the bench,
from
where
half
the
Redwomen's points came.
Patty Mohorcic and Lauren
Fox came off the pine to score
I0 points each while Angel
Allen chipped in seven.
Houghton's Kada Burton
scored a game-high 14 points
and grabbed seven boards in
the losing effort. She also
committed a game-high 10
turnovers.
Sloppy play was the theme
of the night, particularly for
the Highlanders. Some timely
three points goals kept the
Houghton close in the first
half, and actually produced an
early 16-15 advantage.
Houghten hit four of five
from long distance during the
first 20 minutes and was five

Prosecution says evidence
.:against Clarett should stand
COLUMBUS (AP) - Maurice Clarett' s
statements to an NCAA investigator, which
led to a misdemeanor charge being tiled
against the suspended Ohio State running
back, were voluntary and should not be suppressed, a prosecutor says in court documents.
Clarett attorneys have asked a Franklin
·County Municipal judge to di smiss the
:charge. Claret! is accused of filing a campu s
:police report that exaggerated the value of
· ttems stolen from a dealership car he bor: rowed in April.
: During an NCAA investigation of Claret!,
:he provided information that potentially
involved criminal behavior, according to a
motion filed Thursday by Stephen Mcintosh,
the city's lead prosecutor.
Clarett has argued he was forced to provide
information to the NCAA, violating his rights
-not to incriminate himself.
: In the motion, Mcintosh said Clarett was
:under no obligation. to talk about the case.
· "In this particular case, the interview
·occurred in an office on the OSU campus. The
.environment was not hostile or coerctve," the
:motion said. "The defendant had the benefit of
· counsel during the interview. Throughout the
. questioning, the defendant could have left at
•

anytime. The defendant was not even considered a suspect for criminal activity at the time
of the interview."
Clarett attorney Percy Squire said his client
did not have a choice about speaking to inves·
tigators.
"He was under an obligation to talk. And
whether he was under an obligation or not. the
produc(of the investigation was still a student
·
disciplinary record."
. Clarett's attorneys have argued the information was federally protected and should have
been kept private. They have separately asked
the U.S. Department of Education to sanction
Ohio State for giving information from the
interviews to campus poli ce, who passed it on
to prosecutors.
Mcintosh said the disclosure of the information came from the NCAA and not Ohio State,
so the federal rules do not apply.
Clarett has pleaded innocent to the fal silication charge, which carries a penalty ranging
from probation to six months tn jail and up to
a $1,000 fine.
Clarett was suspended for his sophomore
season for NCAA violations of accepting
money from a family friend and lying about it
to investigators.

White Falcons win
playoff opener
BY GARY CLARK

Spo rts correspondent

Wahama opened the scoring
at the 5:05 mark of the first
quarter when Justin Bell
capped a 66 yard, eighf play
drive with a one yard plunge to
stake the White Falcons fo a 60 edge . Doddridge County
quickly answered when Dave
Parsons took the ensuing kickoff and raced 78 yards for what
woul d be the Bulldogs onl y
score of the eve ning. Jason
Young blocked the Doddridge
County PAT ki ck to keep the
Bulldogs fro m taking the lead
as the scored stood at 6-6.
Some two minutes later the
Bend Area team would begin
to roll as Zerkle capped a fi ve
()lay, 70 yard drive with a 23
yard scoring pass to Faulk to
put the Falcons in front to stay
with 2:53 to play in the first
quarter. The Falcons went on
to add a three yard Fowler run
and a 63 yard Zerkle to
Mitchell pass in the second
period with a Fowler boot and
a Zerkle to Mi tchel I connect1on
for the PAT scores to give
WHS a somewhat comfortable
27-6 half-time lead.
"The touchdown just before
the half and our ability to capi tali ze on the fumbl e recovery
to begin the tliird quarter
proved to be really big for us,"
Cromley stated. "I believe
those two touchdowns broke
thei r back and really took the
fi ght out of them . Chad
(Zerkl e) had an exceptional
night throwing the football . He
put the ball right where it needed to be and Anthony
(Mitchell) and Aaron (Faulk)
made the catches."
A big 25-point explosion by
the White Falcons in the third
stanza qui ckly turned the playoff contest into a rout. A colossal defensive hit by Shawn
Weaver
· separated .
the
Doddridge County kick returner from the bali with an alert
Perry Ellis recovering the loose
pigskin to give WHS possession at the Bulldog 40. Seven
plays later Zerkle teamed with
Mitchell on a I0 yard strike
with Branch splitting the
upri ghts for the point after to
make it a 34-6 affair.
Wahama would go on to add
a pair of Branch scoring jaunts
covering 54 and 48 yards and
another Zerkle to Mitchell TO
pass covering 42 yards in the
third canto as the Falcon lead
ballooned .to 52-6. A 29 yard
Branch run preceded a 46 yard.
burst by Fowler in the tina!
quarter before Chase Ord
capped the Falcon scoring with
a one yard run with 2:41
remaining to give Wahama the
one-sided 71-6 triumph.
WHS ran for 459 yards on
the night in 46 carries with a
greai deal of credit going to the
White Falcons offensive line.
Anthony
Jodon , .. Shawn
Weaver, Jeremy Smith, R.T
Roush, Brandon Bell and
Aaron Faulk comprise the men
in the trenches for the Falcons
and are as deserving of the
credit just as much as the WHS
ball carriers.
"We big played them to
death," said Cromley. "I think
we were faster than anyone
they've played against and that
made a big difference. We
were able to get Gagnon
(Brandcm) outside early and
that opened up our inside running game and seemed to set
the tone."

Wildli e legends entertaining, but usually alse

Sunday, November 16, 2003

•

Around the office I'm known, among
other things. as the " urban legend guy."
Perhaps it's my journalism background
rearing its head, but when I hear something
presented as fact , I usually .try to check it
out. Whenever thee-mails warning us about
the dangers of aspartame or microwaving
food in plastic containers start llying about
the office. I can 't rest until I investigate and
debunk these latest health alerts.
So what e&gt;&lt;.actly is an urban legend?
According to Snopes .com, "U rban legends are a specific class of legend, differentiated from 'ordinary ' legends by their being
provided ~nd believed as accounts of actual
incident s that befell or were witnessed by
someone the te ll er almost knows (e.g .. his
sister's hairdresser's mec hanic). These ta les
are told as true, local. and recent occurrences. and often contain names of places or
entit ies located within the teller's neighborhood or surrou nding reg ion."
Furthermore, urban lege nds ac tually serve
a purpose, according to Snopes: "Urban legends are narratives which put our fears and
concerns into the fo rm of stories or are ta les
which we use tu ~o n firm the rightness of our
world view. As cautionary tales they warn
us agai nst engag ing in risky behav iors by
pointing out what has supposedly happened
to others who did what we mi ght be tempted to try. Other lege nds confirm our belief

It 's amazing how many urban legend s
involve wildlife. Snakes are a favor ite subject of urban lege nds.
How many of you have heard th is one? A
boy mistakes baby snakes for fi sh ing worm s
and is fa tall y bitten by his bait.
Told all arou nd the co unt ry, the story us uall y goes li ke this: A sheriff is patrolling th e
county one day and sees a boy fishing by th e
ri ve rside. To be ne.ig hborl y. th e sheriff stops
and asks "How's the fishing?" The boy says
"The fi sh aren' t biting. but the worms sure
are."
The sheriff laughs and dri ves on. Later, he
starts to wo nder what the boy meant, so he
goes back to check on him . He finds th at the
little boy 's arm s are covered wi th snake
bites. The worms · were baby copperheads !

IN THE OPEN
"There is this lake nea r where I live that is
dammed up. The dam repair man goes down
to fix/check for cracks in the dam . He sees a
huge catfish that cou ld swallow a
Volkswagen Bug whole. He comes up from
the murky depths of the lake and never is a
dam repa ir man a~ai n . "
The local verston of the story usually
involves rescue workers ~·a ll owi n g the
Silver Bridge disas ter.
Gang members drive without head lights
·on, then kill anyone who 11ashes them.
Fa lse.
We've all heard by now that rice th rown at
weddi ngs can ki ll birds because the grain
e&gt;&lt;.pands in their stomac hs, causing · our
avHtn friends to explode . Fortunately for the
birds, thi s legend is also fa lse.
Likew ise. seagu ll s don' t explode when
they eat Alka-Se ltze r and baby birds aren't
rejected by their mothers if a human handles
th em.
The Div ision of Wildl ife is active ly stocking coyotes and rattlesnakes.
False.
The mos t common version of thi s urban
legend goes so mething li ke thi s:
The Divi sion of Wildl ife stocked Wild
Turkeys (true) and then, realizing th at the
tu rkeys were ove rpopul atin g, stocked rattlesnakes to eat the turkey eggs (false).
The us ual metho d of rattl esnake stock ing.
accordi ng to the urban lege nd, is that they
are dropped from heli copters in water balloons. I. thin k it would be fun to watch
someone try to put a rattles na ke into a wate r
balloo n.
The natu ral balance spins out of contro l.
Now that there are pl enty of wild turkeys
and rattlesnakes fl ying or sli thering about
the pl ace, the wildlife fo lk dec ide to tamper
even furth er by stocking coyotes (false) .
In va riably, the coyotes (supposedly the
arch-e nemy of rattlesnakes) are dumped
along desert ed co un try roads by the semitra iler load in the middle of the night.
Anot her twist is th at the Asian Lady
Bee tl es we re stocked to provide food for the
turkeys (false, wi th a footnote) . .The Asian
Lady Beetl es were stocked by the feds to
control aphids; but as far as I can tell , noth ing eats the m incl udin g the turkeys. The lesson here: it's not ni ce to mess with mother

nature .
One urban lege nd I wi sh was true ts,
unfortunately, false .
This particular legend goes something
like this : A couple of buddies were trapping
in the wilderness and caught a full -grow n.
very-much-alive wildcat and somehow, for
some reason or another, got the thing into
an old suitcase to transpon it out of the
wild.
They set the suitcase ne&gt;&lt;.t to the road and
then went back into the bushes to get so me
more of their trapping supp lies. A few minutes later, a vehicle rattled down the gravel
road past the suitcase, stopped, backed up,
a car door sw ung open and th e suitcase was
grabbed and tossed into the back seat. Six
local ne'er-do-we ll s and notorious sneak
thieves were in the car.
In short order, the car come s to a sudden
stop, all four doors lly open and six grown
men plus an angry bobcat came llyin~ out.
Thi s part icu lar legend is of the just
dese rt s variety: a classic tale of punished
thieves who end up with the type of booty

th ey merit.
Daddy longlegs spider' are the most venomous animal on the planet.
False.
A miraculous car that gets 200 miles to
th e uallon is reclaimed by the factory and
ne v.;'r seen again .ufter its owner calls .to
congratulate the manufacturers about Its
fahulou s performance.
Fulse.
Charred remains of scuha diver are found
in tree after fore ' t fire : he was ap,parently
scooped up in a nearby lake by a ltreftghting helicopter.
False.
Bodies of workmen are entombed in
Hoover Dam.
False.
Before you accept something as fact, stop
to think that it ma y just he an urban legend.

Thanksgiving: Make it a daily habit
As the last of the leaves fall
and cool weather comes our
way. we mark the beginning of
the winter holiday season by
celebrating Thanksgi ing each
November. Thanksgiving is a
time . for feas ting. parades,
football games, and the gathering of family and friends.
Amid all the preparations
and festi vities, we sometime s
gloss over the original meaning of the holiday--a time for
counting our blessings and
rejoicing in the good ness and
bounty that su rround us.
Although Thanksgiving Day
is celebrated only once a year,
with ~ very little time and
effort, it's possible to carry
the spirit of thanksgiving with
us throughout the entire year.
The benefits of doing so are
numerous.
When we take a few
moments here and there to
-inwardly
or
outwardly
express our appreciation. we
_tend to feel happier. more
re laxed and more optimistic.
A sense of appreciation is an
important part of a positi ve
outlook. And research indicates that a positi ve attitude is
essential to the success of
peak performers in both the
business and sports worlds.

moment with fres h eyes and
our hearts start to brim over
with optimism and appreciation.
The third and most challengi ng level of thanksgiving
is to mai ntain a positi ve,
grateful attitude even when
confronted with problems. Of
course, problems and their
assoc iated painful feelings
need to be faced, dealt with,
and learned from . Yet, even in
difficult circumstances, we
can be appreciative for what
didn 't go wrong and for the
opportunity to Jearn and grow.
An appreci ative attitude is a
skill. It takes practice to
develop it. Because the giving
and receiving of appreciation
feel s so good, it's habit-forming and contagious. A thankful attitude encourages physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. It also promotes bal anced optimism , opens our
eyes to opportunities , and
enhances our general wellbeing and effectiveness. Let
every day be a celebmtion of
thanksgiving .
.

Studies are also beginning to
provide evidence that a positi ve. appreciative attitude may
even enhance the body' s healing system and ge neral health.
It 's easy to be thankful
when wonderful things happen to us. That is the lirst
level of thanksgiving. A second le vel ol' thanksgiving is
learning to express appreciation for the many blessings
that we often take for granted-good health, adequate food
and clothing, the freedom to
speak our minds and help
shape the future.
How easy it is to take our
health, our talents and our
loved ones for granted 1 One
of the true joys of life is learning to take nothing for grant( Beckv Colli11s Nesbitt is

Junk art exhibit at the University of Rio Grande
RIO GRANDE - College
professors generally teach
. students about subjects such
as history und English and
job skills, so it's not that often
. that a teacher shows his or
her students how to look at
the world a little differently.
That is exactly what a P.rofessor at the University ot Rio
Grande/Rio
Grande
Community College did earli er this semester. wtth an interesting class project that took
advantage ot a resource available almost anywhere--junk.
. Amy Landn1m teaches Fine
Arts at Rio .Grande, and earlier
this semester she had her students create a "junk art" project.
Landrum lectured about art &lt;md
showed her students countless
examples of art, until one moming she told the studenL' that
they would be creating their
own works of art out of Junk.
"I wish you could have seen
their faces when I came in that
Monday
morning
and
announced that we'd be 'dump. ster diving' and visiting junkyards," J.:andrum said. Not
only would they be creating art
for - the class, but they would
also be creating art to exhibit to
the campus ana community.
Kathy Musser, u student
from Rutland (who also
works for the university),
said many of the students
were surprised at the assign·
ment, ana wondered just how
. they were going to do it.
"It was an interesting experience," Musser said. The students were assigned to pick out
different junk items, and
Musser chose letiover scraps of
wood from the tine woodworking program at Rio Grande.
With the scraps of wood, she
created her "Waves of Gri!in"
piece, that showcased the direction of the grain of the wood.
She put her pieces together so
that they didn't look like old
scraps of wood, but like pieces
of wood that had been cut especially for her artwork.
Musser was proud of her
work, and happy to place it in the
exhibit, which was held Sept. 30
through Oct. 2 and opened with
a special reception on Oct. I .

stimulates your immune system.
Donna

Middl eport , a gr.eat storyteller and founder of the
Meigs Storyteller's Guild, is
local chairman for the international event now in its
16th year. It was started by
storytell er J. G. "Paw-Paw"
Pinkerton, who saw it as a
means of building support
for the age-old art of storytelling.
Among the storytellers at
Tellabration will be "Granny
Sue" who from I to 2:50
p.m. that day will be conducting a workshop for
adults at the Pomeroy
Library. If humor can be
taught, I' m told she's the
one who can do it. Then
from 3 to 4 p.m. storytellers
Carmen Horn and Jim
Flanigan will hold a children 's hour.

While you may not be
whistling holiday tunes yet,
plenty of others are. Getting
ready for Christmas early
while the weather is not so
cold , seems to be the thing
to do.

I grew up on a street among
hundreds that went on longer
than the eye's sight could
reach. The houses sat side by
side. finger.-w idth s apart ,
with lawns the size of small
matchboxes.
There were streets named
after women , whose names
had long since lost their
allure: Gladys , Virginia, and
CharloJle. My street wasn't
owned by any of these
women.
My street prided itself in its
ability to manipulate itself
into both a noun and a ve rb. I
lived on Cook Ave, and there
was a lot of cooking going
on , both literally and fi gurative ly.
Every house had a front
porch . There was no need to
catch the daily news by way
of the conventional new spaper. You just sat on your front
porch and yelled ac ross the
street to the neighbors who
sat on their front porche s.
With vocal cords strained,
ears burning. and phone lines
on lire , our work was completed in short time . The
newspapers would arrive
later that day to fil l in the
gaps.
Di s).lensi ng the news of the
day was far more challenging

Her first book , "Li ttle House
in the Big Woods" was published in 1932, and established herself as one of our
most beloved authors .
He r book s about Western
frontier and prairie life have
become the gold standard in

their simplicity and detailed
accounts which ha ve helped
count less children to understand more completely the
life struggles faced by those
living nearly one hundred
and llfty years ago.

because of the stale's money
probl ems .
The students not only benefited from the extra attention given by the senior citizens but loved having someone work with them on a
one-to-one basis. The teachers who don 't have much
time for that seemed always
appreciative of the helping
hand.
Betty Sayre, a STAR for
several years, talked to me
one day about how much
she misses the kids. "They
were really special," she
said before moving on to
greet someone coming into
WaiMart. That' s what she
does now.
If you have some really
great picture s of thing s
around Meigs County, perhaps you would like to share
them with the Meigs County
Touri sm Board.
The Board is looking for

Prizes will be awarded to
those whose pictures are
selected.
Photos are to be mailed to

junk wt before," Hamby said.
'You take things that were once
useful and ~ou get something
good out of 11." The son of luck
and Maureen Hamby of
Columbus, Josh Hamby, a sophomore, wants to be an English
teacher. He was Vel)' impressed
with the junk art idea, and said
Landrum is very good at
exposing her students to new
projects and unique ideas in
order to help them learn.
"The' junk art project made
you see the things around you
very differently,"
Hamby said. In the past, he
may have just walked by junk
and trash, but now he sees the
junk and trash in a different light.
as he sees new possibilities for
making these items useful for
an work and other purposes.
Landrum s;tid that the mt wasn't created by art majors. but by
students from all different lields
,of study. She enjoys teaching mt
to students from all across campus, and she likes getting them
mvolved in unique assi~nments
such as the junk art prOJect.
"They learned a sense of history by choosing items that carried stories. They learned creative problem solving methods.
They learned what is meant by
the creative process. And last

but not least, they leumed the
value of junk, the beauty of dissonance. One's trash, another's
treasure," Landrum said. "They
took a risk. I'm so proud of all
of them."
She is also proud of the
family, friends and community residents who came
out to view the exhibits,
attend the reception and even
buy some of the works of art.
Students often walk up to her
on the fin;t day of ci&lt;JSS and tell
her that they are not creative and
they can't do anything with art.
However, through pmjects such
as the junk art assignment. students pmve that they can &lt;..Teate
art, and that they can leam to look
at the wortd a tittle differently.

Is it possible to forecast the
future?
Mostly not, concludes
author Michael Wood . "But
we do regularly make two
quite contradidory assumptions about it: that it is
unknowable. and that once
it's here we saw it coming."
Wood sets out on a long
and comp lex path in "The
Road to Delphi: The Life and
Atierlife of Oracles," seeking
to recount humankind's
efforts to foresee what life
will bring, ranging from the
times or ancient Greece and
Rome to today.
How well he succeeds in
telling the tale depends on the
reader 's patience for a narrative peppered with erudite
"ri sible" when
words "laughable" would have
worked line - ;md literary
references.
Nonetheless, for those
intere ste~ in the topic, Wood
packs plenty of information
into thi s volume and raises
some interesting que stions
along the way.
Sure, the ancient Greeks
consulted the women at
Delphi for portents of the
future, but aren 't modern

than that?
Well , observes Wood, "the
most important of oracles in
the West is surely the chairman _ of the United States
Federal Reserve Board."
It 's the Federal Reserve, of
cm1rse, that sets money poli cy for the country, raising and
lowering interest rate s in
anticipation of changes in the
economy.
And, Wood notes, Francois
co nsulted
Mitterand
as trologers when he was
president of France, as did
Nancy Reagan when she was
first lady.
After those or Delphi . perhaps the best-known oracles
in literature are the three
weird sisters in Macbeth,
who set the standard for riddles that Macbeth calls "lying
like truth" - that is, telling
the truth but meaning something else.
Macbeth is promised , for
example, that he can be
harmed by no one "of woman
born" and that his castle at
Dunsinanc is safe unless it is
attacked by the forest at
Birnam. This seeming protection melts away when sol-.
diers carry branches from
Birnam as camoutlage and
Macbeth is slain by Mac Dutf,

who was "from hi s mother 's
womb untimely ripped."
Such misleading statements Jire often complained
about , yet in other cases an
oracle would be forthri ght .
Take Cassandra, for example. given the gift of prediction by the god Apollo. She
then offends him and is
cursed to always make correct predictions but never to
be believed.
In many cases the oracle
must be interpreted correctly.
something that takes thought
and effort .
"Psychoanalysis, when it is
working well. creates something like the 'inward orqcle,"' writes Wood.
That doesn't mean doctors
are gods, he hastens to say,
only that interpreting what
they say can be somewhat
like dealing with the. ancient
Greek oracles: ''That is. we
can' t afford not to believe
them. and we don't quite
know what they mean."

~Cash

tribute celebrates singer's
:contribution to American music
: .:NASHVILLE. Tenn. (AP)
:-=-·A diverse lineup of coun;try and rock performers paid
~ tr ibute Monday to the late
:Johnny Cash, performing
:many of hi s songs and recall:ing him as an original, inde;pendent voice in popular
;music.
: Standing under a large
;image of Cash and singing
:her father 's "I Still Mi ss
~. ineone," Rosanne Cash
·-'&amp;·
;~pened the show at the
:~yina n Auditorium, former
;fioine of the Grand Ole Opry.
: Actor Tim Robbins was
:~aster of ceremonies for the
:;!Jow, which was taped and
:W)Il be broadcast at 8 p.m.
EST Saturday on Country
Music Television.
Sheryl Crow performed
''Hurt," a song ·about drug
addiction that Cash recorded
ln 2002. The song, written by
:rrent R.eznor of the rock
group Nine Inch Nails, introduced Cash to a younger generation of fans.
"When he gave his voice to
something, he dedicated his
.,oice and his intellect," Crow
said.
: Willie Nelson, George
Jones and Kris Kristofferson
sang "Big River," and Travis
Tritt performed a slow.
bluesy version of "I Walk the
Line." Hank Williams Jr.
i;ang "Ring of Fire."
Kid Rock, a rap-rocker
who performed two Cash
songs, said: "He represents
someone who would stand up
for what they believe in, but
also could hold a baby very
gently and get if to stop crying."
Cash died Sept. 12 at age
71 of complications from diabetes.
: His stepdaughter, si nger
t:arlene Carter, said Cash
told her when she was young
·that it's better to be one-of-akind than one of many.
: "We'd sit on the bus from
age 10 on up, and he'd teach
•me songs," she said. " He

really educated us about
music .''

Carter said the family has
struggled through a difficult
year with the death of her
mother, June Carter Cash, in
May. followed soon after by
Cash 's death. Last month ,
Carter Cash's daughter died of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Thi s is truly a tribute,'' she
said of the concert. - "It's a
way for us to celebrate the
music they brought to the
world."
Bono, lead singer for the
rock group U2, toasted Cash
with a pint of Guinness beer
in a recorded message. He
said that whenever Cash
landed in Ireland, the first
thing he did w'as have a pint
of the dark Irish stout.
"He was an oak tree in a
garden of weeds," Bono said.
" He 's not in a garden of
weeds now. He's in heaven
with June where all the saints
are."
Tickets were free and distributed by lottery. More than
2,000 people attended the
show at the Ryman, which
was built in 1892 for church
revivals and is still known as
the Mother Church of
Country Music.
John Mellencamp, Brooks
&amp; Dunn , Rodney Crowell
and Jack Clement also performed, while former Vice
Pres idem AI Gore was among
the crowd.
Tommy and Winsome
Harwell, of Southaven ,
Miss.. were among the ticket
winners.
"!never dreamed we would
be here," Winsome Harwell
said. "This is the first time
I've ever won anything. I
thought somebody was
pulling a prank on me ."
Not everyone was as fortunate. James Bagoly and his
wife drove from Dunnellon,
Fla., without tickets, and were
turned away at the door. "We
just came and took a wild
. shot, and we lost," he said.

With his raw, bare-bones
sound . Cash helped pioneer
rock · n · roll in the 1950s,
blending Delta blues with
Appalachian folk.
"Cash was one of the very,
very few people in American ·
popu lar music who truly was
unique ," said PauL Wells ,
director of the Center for
Popular Music at Middle
Tennessee State University.
"Cash transcended genre
right from the get-go. And,
perhaps more significantly,
he maintained that kind of
stron g, individual identity
throu ghout hi s entire career. "
Wells noted that Cash is
often credited with inventing
the "concept album" with his
compilation s about trains
("Ride
This
Train"),
American Indians ("Bitter
Tears: Ballads of the
American Indian"), and
Western badmen ("Ballads of
the True West").
He added that · Cash's
albums recorded in San
Quentin and Folsom prisons
were popular music landmarks.
"I'd bet that there are millions Of Americans who
would never describe themselves as country music fans
but know who Johnny Cash
was," Wells said. "They may
or n\ay not know much about
hi s mu sic, but they know
about his ABC-TV show, his
prison concerts, and maybe
can sing a phrase or two of' 1
Walk the Line' or 'Ring of
Fire' or ' Folsom Prison

By The Associated Press

Blues."'

Steve Earle, who was to
perform "Folsom Prison
Blues," said Cash came to
Nashville as an outsider who
broke conventions by writing
his own songs and speaking
hi s mind .
"He did things exactly the
way he wanted to do them
and stuck to his guns, and
proved that that can be done
and be done successfully,"
Earle said.

it." said Perry.
It 's an episode not just
about power but about the
-t~ ngtime
relation ship
between the chief justice and
PeJify's character.
P'erry. who worked on the
drama in the old and new
regimes (John Well s. an original executi ve producer with
Sorkin and Schlamme, is running the show now) fee ls it
hasn't lost a step.
The series suffered a drop
in viewership and critical
esteem last year but still managed to claim its fourth consecutive be st-drama Emmy.
Ratings are moving up: It 's
averaging 14.7 million viewers for the season so far and is
tied for 12th place among all
prime-time shows. compared
to its 13.5 million average last
season and No . 24 ranking.
"I think 'We st Wing' is as
good as it was ... which is an
amazing
accompli shment
given the geni us of Aaron
Sorkin." Perry said. "I would
say it' s sl ightly more .of a
team effort over there."
Sorkin' s word was law and
his words themselves, crafted
with rhythmic grace, were
never changed. But the writers in charge now are talented
and the cast co nsistently
impressive, said Perry.
He worked most closely
thi s time with Richard Schiff,
who play s communications
director Toby Ziegler.
"He's a talented and nice
man, and he made it fun.
Maybe Richard Schiff and I
will go on the -toad together
and do a little vaudeville or
something," he said, jokingly.
Perry, of course, has to play
out his obligation
to
"Friends." which is tilming
its IOth and final season. He
looks at the two NBC shows
as bookends, with one the
best-written comedy and the
other the best among dramas.
'The West Wing" is a
series "that makes you think
and entertains you simultaneously," he said. "What's better than that?"

CBS won't be airing 'The Reagans'

. NEW YORK (AP) - This
was where I was goin_g to
review "The Reagans," CBS'
much-anticipated miniseries
airing Sunday and Tuesday.
Except it isn't going to air not then, not on CBS.
I prefer writing about
shows that will actually be
broadcast arid shows that I've
screened. But since .everyone
else has· expressed an oprnion
about this biopic, sight
unseen, why shouldn '.t I?
Come to think of it, I'd like
to.salute CBS for giving "The
Reagans" the hook (eptsodes
of "CSI," "CSI: Miami" and
"Without a Trace" are now
sc heduled instead). I think
CBS' turn-tail tactic is a win
for all concerned.
. It's certainly a win for
everyone who frightened
CBS into bailing on the project. As NewsMax, the right-·
wing Web site, crowed,
"CBS' decision to cancel the
Reagan movie is one of the
greatest victories - ever for the conservative movement over the lefl~wing, socalled mainstream, medta."
It's also a win for the TV
audience.
Viewers alarmed that the
film might defame a man they
lionize were spared from having their vision of him challenged. Even better, they were
handed new evidence to buttress their belief that "the leftwing, so-called mainstream,
media" are out to trash everything they hold dear.
As for .viewers who aren't
so fond of Reagan; they win,
too. They have been spared
from watchin~ a film they
probably didn t want to see
anyway (what if it went too
easy on him?), while they
also get to bask in righteous
indignation over CBS denying them a look at it.
The New York Times won.
Despite being part of the "leftwing, so-called mainstream,
media" (or so some insist), it
ignited the firestorm against
fellow "media elite" CBS in a
big story last month that quoted
details from' the script deemed
unflattering to Reagan.
And what of CBS? Yes, it has
won, too, eJthibiting a newfound,

heretofore undemonstrated commitment to program quality.

In its announcement .that
"The Rea_gans" had been
scrapped, CBS said the decision was "based solely on our
reaction to seeing the final
film, not the controversy that
erupted around a draft of the
scnpt." The film, said CBS,
"does not provide a balanced
portrayal of the Reagans."
So last-minute worries
about fairness and factuality
promr.ted CBS to yank a fourhour- ong extravaganza from
its November sweeps lineup
just two weeks befor~ airtime! However unlikely, CBS
professes to have struck a
blow for truth. (It also washed
its hands of a sticky problem
by dumping "The Reagans"
on its pay-cable sister channel, Showtime, where the film
will air months from now).
Of . course, cynics may
coun1er that CBS simply
caved in to the Far Ri~ht. Or
that, even more dismaymg, the

network pandered to conservative Washington lawmakers
whose votes it needs for highstakes legislation that, among
other things, would allow its
parent Yiacom to own more
local stations.
·
None of that had anything
to do with his decision, Leslie
Moonves insists.
CBS' cancellation of "The
. Reagans" comes on the heels
of the timidity it disJ?Iayed
over its " Hitler" mimseries
last spring. The network
blasted one of the film's executive producers after he was
quoted in TV Guide comparing the fear among Germans
during Hitler's rise to fear in
Amertca as it headed into war
with Iraq. Then the producer
was fired from the film .
But de spite that uproar,
"Hitler" aired as scheduled.
Now, with the axing of "The
Reagans," C'fiS has seemingly declared that its future
biopics won't dare to challenge conventional wi sdom.

'TUPAd: RESURRECTION'
'Master and Commander:
The Far Side of the World'
6unbap limt1·6entintl

Sunday, November 16, 2003

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An action-adventure movie
that's almost as clunky as its
name,
"Master
and
Cm.1mander: The Far Side of
the World" stars a jaunty
Russell Crowe, who's sailing
far from home to fight the
Napoleonic menace.
His Capt. "Lucky Jack"
Aubrey strides the deck of his
warship with a wink and a
quick wit for all - until it's
time for some .bloodletting.
Then he's all "Die Hard."
· It's a peculiar choice for an
actor who has found great
success with peculiar choices
(like playing a paunchy, middle-aged whistleblower in
"The Insider," and a schizophrenic math professor in "A
Beautiful Mind") ..
This time, the risk doesn 't
entirely pay off.
Crowe's performance is
inconsistent.
Sometimes
Aubrey's a reluctant warrior,
sometimes he delights in the
savagery of battle.
It's possible - and interesting- for one man to have
both sentiments competing
within him, but what we get
seems contrived.
The story, based on one of
the late author Patrick
O'Brian's seafaring novels,
starts with the British captain
sailing along the Brazilian
coast when his ship - the
Surprise - is attacked and
nearly sunk by a vessel flying
Napoleon's flag.

The crippled boat escapes in
the fog, and Crowe struts about
slapping walls and declaring
his ship "a fine sea bird" before
telling some pretty hoary jokes
to cheer his crew.
Most of them would like to
return to a safe harbor somewhere for repairs. but the
captain wants to chase their
aggressors.
The character recalls
George C. Scott's Oscar-winning performance in "Patton,"
another military leader who
seemed to love war more than
life. But Patton never wavered
in his thirst for battle, was
allowed to be unlikable at
points, and his existence was
revealed as something necessary to conquer a greater evil. .
But we never get a sense of
the greater evil in "Master
and Commander," which
saps the adventure of its
urgency. There are no scenes
on the rival French ship until
the end, when the "good
guys" come calling. What's
worse, the audience is constantly
reminded
how
beloved Aubrey is and what a
brilliant and lovable chap he
is. "That's sailing, Mr.
Pulling. That's sailing!" one
officer remarks to another in
awesome tones.
Ditector Peter Weir, whose
credits
include
"The
Mosquito Coast," "Dead
Poets Society," "Witness"
and "The Truman Show,"
stumbles in creating action

sequences. which are muddled and confusing.
Is that Aubrey's cabin that just
got ripped by an explosion, or
the French captai!l's quarters?
And who was that guy who
plunged overboard in a storm?
The best scenes come
between Aubrey and the one
character who seems to truly
understand him : the ship's
surgeon (Paul Bettany, who
was also Crowe's best pal
and roommate in "A
Beautiful Mind").
Dr. Maturin cautiously suggests that the captain should
think more about survival
and less about revenge and
pride. But the doctor's worries are dismissed quiekly,
and the plotline di sappears in
favor of more action.
"Master
and
If
Commander" is supposed to
be only a fun adventure
movie, the !laws in the captain could be overlooked and
the greatest setback are the ·
muddled battle scenes.
But this is supposed to be
an exploration of the costs of
war (which the early amputation of a child sailor's arm
would suggest - or is that
supposed to be entertaining?),
and the audience deserves
more than a SUJ?erficial probing of this warnor's psyche.
"Master and Commander,"
a 20th Century Fox release, is
rated PG-13 for bloody battle
scenes. Running time: 139
minutes. Two stars out of four.

'ANYTHING BUT LOVE'
BY THE ASSOC IATED PRESS

What do you do when you
are born into the wrong era?
A young woman from
Queens is suffused with longing for the glamour of
Hollywood's
Technicolor
heyday in writer-actress
Isabel Rose's paean to
Audrey Hepburn and . Rita
Hayworth , "Anything But
Love."
Is it silly to always dress
like Hepburn? To only like
songs from the '40s and
'50s? To swoon for a time
when dreadful life mistakes
could be erased with the two
precious words "I do"?
Perhaps. But Rose, the coauthor and drop-dead gorgeous lead of this starry-eyed
adventure, does not condescend. Her dreamy waitress
Bifly may look out when she
sings and see a sophisticated
gloves-and-cocktails crowd
in.stead of the seedy, real-life
denizens of a run-down airport lounge, but she is not
crazy.
Everyone has a right to
their own dreams and to live
their life as they choose. Billy
is simply struggling to get
there.
Piano player Elliot Shepard
(Andrew McCarthy) doesn't
help matters by sabotaging
one of her few auditions, but
the rascal soon realizes that
his student is the proverbial
diamond in the rough.
The central question here
- as in all movies of that era
- is who will Billy marry?
Enter chisel-chinned Greg
Ellenbogen
(Cameron
Bancroft), a high-schoolquarterback-turned-banker
who was once the boy of
Billy's dreams. Greg needs a
wife to get ahead on Wall
Street - and maybe the old
wallflower will do, if she
would only .tone down that

'40s mania.
Rich man or poor man?
Love or luxury? A nine-yearold could map out the ending,
but it takes a series of completely unbelievable plot
twists to get there, with Billy
at one point acting like a
soon-to-be Stepford wife.
It's downright radical for
filmmakers to drop the edgy,
been-there sarcasm that
infuses many independent
films for a full-blown swan
dive into fantasy. It would be
even better if the fantasy had
worked.
Bancroft is blank as cardboard, and I don't know
whether to blame him or the
role. Certainly the screenplay
would have been more interesting with a more nuanced
character. Aren't there any
Renaissance-man bankers
arourid?
McCarthy is endearing as
the penniless rival, although
the chip on his shoulder is as
big as the Empire State
Building and never really
explained. Eartha Kitt has a
smoldering cameo as the
voice of reason.
Rose has the glam-girl
Technicolor look down pat
-steely determination under
a quiet demeanor - but we
long for her to be more feisty.
Life's setbacks are crushing
at times, let's show some
emotion here!
Director/co-author Robert
Cary has made a great -looking movie - choosing classic New York locations and
elegantly framing even simple shots - but the heavy
emphasis on style often overwhelms its substance.
"Anything But Love" is
still a must-see for fashionistas, since costume designer
Sarah Beers' creations are
delectable . Savvy viewers
will even be able to match

specific taffetas and silks to
unforgettable ensembles of
movies past.
It also might be a surprisingly fun movie to take
young girls to - say, 8- to
12-year-olds - for Billy's
predicaments could spark
some interesting discussions
about life choices.
But parents. when you get to
the questions about "I do," better make those answers count.
Released
by
Samuel
Goldwyfl Films, "Anything
But Love" runs 99 minutes is
rated PG-13 for some language and innuendo. Two
stars out of four.

Admirable and despicable,
charismatic and chaotic,
Tupac Shakur epitomizes
hip-hop culture. H1s life and
death remain its defining
tale.
Tupac 's
status
was
cemented by his 1996 murder in. of course, a "driveby." a term that rap introdLtced to America I 0 years
before "bling-blin g." Even
though Tupac rapped and
filmed videos about the
hereafter shortly before he
go t there, he stubbornly
refused to avoid it . choosing
to revel in and with the
worst of hip-hop.
If Tupac could talk to us
now - and some do believe
the black Elvis will rise
agai n - he'd surely ex plait).
wrth the conviction that sold
35 million records, exactly
how and why he ended up
shot to death 10 Las Vegas in
Suge Knight's BMW.
Without that perspective.
though, the picture is incomplete like "Tupac:
Resurrection."
· In a culture built on creating something fresh from
the debri s of the past,
"Resurrection" is a remix
masterpiece. Using snippets
of Tupac 's many. many
interviews, the enure film is
narrated in h'is own passionate words. No talking heads,
no 1-knew-him-whens. Just
Tupac baring his soul, one
more time.
.
Produced and directed 'by
MTV documentarian Lauren
Lazin, the woman behind
the mu sic channel's "Sex in
the 90s," "Rockumentary"
and
"Cribs"
features,
" Resurrection" is executive
produced by Afeni Shakur,
mother of Tupac and
guardian of his legacy. Ms.
Shakur 's
participation
ensured there would be
plenty of actual Tupac songs
m the movie, as opposed to
the seven previous Tupac
documentanes by everyone
from his bodyguard to his
girlfriend's brother.
The music hits hardest in
the beginning of the film , as
the Vegas streets un spool to
the strains of Tupac's fatalistic "Starin ' Through My
Rear View," which appropriate ly samples Phil
Collins' "In the Air

Tonight." Tupac's voice then
describes hi s impoverished
New York City childhood
durin g a blizzar~ of neverseen-before baby pictures .
Stock footage and more
fam ily photos accompany
his recollections of being
raised by Black Panthers
and Afeni's move to
Baltimore, where Tu~ac
enrolled in an elite h1gh
school for the performing
ar:ts.

Detaching Tupac's voice
from his image allows 'Lazin
to splice pieces of different
interview s into elongated
conversations.
Tupac 's
many fa ns will remember
many quotes, and perhaps
even hear where one interview morph s into another.
Newcomers will si mply
marvel at Tupac's insight
and intelligence.
Tupac's legacy has been
wrung so dry - it's worth
noting
here
that
"Resurrection " was created
by MTV, which also is
releasing an album and. book
with the movie - that
encountering
something
new is as thnlling as hearing
him for the first time. But
after you get past the device
of Tupac as narrator,
"Resurrection" provides little substantial new material.
When something fresh
does pop up, hilariously, in
the form of a skinny hi~h­
sohool Tupac wearing shiOIength clamdiggers and lipsynching to Will "The Fresh
Prince" Smith's hit "Parents
Just Don ' t Understand," you
anticipate more. But you're
better off waiting for a compilation album from Suge
Knight and P. Diddy.
The only other jaw-dropper is Tupac explaming why
he wouldn' t take an AIDS
test to do a love scene with
Janet Jackson in "Poetic
Justice'' : "I did not disagree,
if we were gonna really
make love.''
For all but non-fans, the
rest has been seen before,
especially after Tupac
moves to Marin City, Calif.,
catches on with the rap

group ' Digital Underground
and embarks on his solo
career. This is where the "in
his own words" format
works worst. Instead of
Tupac abruptly transforming
from naive lip-syncher to
tattooed Thug Lifer, we
could have learned about the
transition from the s~u lpto rs
themselves (like Dtgital
Underground leader Shock
G and various Marin City
no-names, who provide
engrossmg details in other
documentaries) .
The most frustrating rart
of the fit m comes after
Tupac gets shot in New York
and then convicted of sex
abuse the next day. These
events are what led Tupac to
pour gasol ine on the si mmering tension s between
East and West, which were
rooted in New York's rap
superiority complex and
L.A.'s gangsta-jacking of
the music charts.
Entire books, documentaries and Pulitzer Prizes
have sprung from these
events, yet "Resurrection"
recycles Tupac's illogical
inSIStence that he was set up
by P. Diddy and Biggie
Smalls. Oliver Stone would
have won an Oscar with this
material.
From there , it' s on to
pri son,
then
freedom
through , ironically, Death
Row Record s. Tabitha
Soren's MTV interviews
start to pile up here, including one where Tupac looks
so angelic, so beautiful, you
forget that he was consigliere to Death Row's brutal Knight, who had two
prison terms 10 hi s near
future .
"Suge ain't no gangsta,"
Tupac tells Tabitha near the
end. "He chi! lin '.'' Yeah ,

Sin~e 200 I. there ha ve

the best way to deal with a

cause an outbreak of infectious disease. what actions

Recently the National
Heart, Lung and Blood
lnstitute's National High
Blood Pressure Education
Program released new guidelines for hypertension prevention and management.
These are the first major
gu idelines since 1997.
Accord ing to Claude
Lenfant . M.D. , Director of
the National Heart, Lung and
Blood In stitute, and the
chairman of the National
High
Blood
Press ure
Education Program, so much
new knowledge has become
ava ilable that a new coalition
has been 'formed .
The coalition, called the
National High Blood Pressure
Education
. Program
Coordinating
Committee
(NHBPEP CC), is comprised
of 39 major professional, publie. and voluntary organizations
and seven federal agencies.
This organization meets
btannually and reviews
emerging new information.
So much critical information
has acc umulated that Doctor
Lenfant has also appointed a
Joint National Committee.
One important function of
this
Joint
National
Committee is to issue guidelines an~dvisories designed
to mcrease awareness, preventton, treatment and . control of hypertension (high
blood pressure) (BP).

DESIGNER COMMENTS
"Owners want open plans
and available light in a second

Q. Bob asks: l enjoyed your
article about replacing foundations. When I faced this problem a few years ago, I found
that the two bids I received from
general contractors were twice
what I eventually paid a house
mover to do the job. What's
more, since house movers do
the shoring up of houses daily, I
found that their equipment and
experience were far more suited
for this task than that of either of
the general contractors.
. A. We applaud your creativity,
but we have a few reservations
about the 50 percent savings you
report. House movers have the
equipment required to move a
home and make way for a new
foundation, but whomever you
hire, it is important to make sure
that he is properly licensed by the
state to do the kind of work needed. We recommend that the services of a licensed soils engineer
and a licensed civil or structural
engineer be enlisted to determine
the proper size and strength of
the replacement foundation.
Since the structural integrit~ of a home depends primarily on a solid foundation, this
i's· one area of construction
where one should not skimp.
When receiving bids, make
sure that each contractor uses
the same specifications. List
the s~cifications and have
the btdders price the differences. The right price is usually the average of the bids.
Some contractors offer low
prices by providing inferior
quality materials. Some also
pay their personnel "under
the table," not paying state or
federal taxes or not carrying
liability or worker 's compensation insurance. Doing business with this kind of contractor is risky. If a bid
sounds too good to be true, it'
probably is.
