HOMESTEAD RECAP WlnltonCup HOMESTEAD, Fla. - There were many ways in which a Bill Elliott victory in the Ford 400 would have made perfect sense.

Raines completed his rookie season in the BACE Motorsports Chevrolet, owned by Bill Baumgardner. The No. 74 has maneuvered its way through the season with very little in the way of sponsorship, which makes Raines' ability to persevere -let alone finish sixth in the Pop Secret 400 at Rockingham, N.C. - alii he more impressive. Four times in 2003, Raines finished races as the highest-placing rookie. At age 39, he's no Johnny-come-lately, but the LaPorte, Ind., native never competed in the Winston Cup Series until June 2, 2002, when he started 17th and finished 31st at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. . Raines followed up his sixth-glace finish at Rockingham with a 13 h, after qualifying 19th, in the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "It's a lot easier to start up front, l know that," Raines said. "I think everybody through the field pretty much races each other extremely clean, but it's hard at Rockingham because the track is so slick. It's hard sometimes to get your car to turn or not get loose." After the acclaimed finish at Rockingham, Raines said: "It's pretty exciting. I probably won't realize it until I look at the paper tomorrow, and I won't.have to gil all the way down to 20th to find my name, so thai will be day's race. There were retirement .rumors in th e air. What a story it would have been for Elliott to win the fir'lal two races of his career. It would have been like Ted Williams hitting a home run in his fina l at-bat. Stock-car races don·t have at- bats. They have laps . Something happened to Elliott on the final one.

I'd like to finish fifth, but sixth isn't bad." What Raines -and Baumgardner -could use, obviously, is a sponsor to boost the budget and give the team the resources to win at NASCAR's top level. "I think it can definitely win," Raines said. "Today, no, but tomorrow, maybe. "Is it possible? "It certainly is. Anything is possi- ble in this sport. This is a good group of guys that we've got.

" I call thi s not a victims' fund, but a re-victimization fund," said Konrad Kircher, of Mason, who repre sents 67 plaintiffs Dan Andriacco, spokesman for the 515,000member Roman Catho lic archdiocese, said the church was as generous as it can be without special permission from the Vatican. " It's the l argest amount that a diocesan bishop can spend in any one place without permission," Andriacco said. Kircher said if all his clients withdrew their suits and only a few more people came forward , claims could easily total 100. " Th at comes out to $30,000 per victim, and that is grossly disproportionate to other settl ements in the nation," he said . According to Kircher, the $25 . million settlement by the Diocese of Louisville meant · $ 108,000 per plain. tiff, and the $85 million Boston settlement averaged $152.000. Andriacco said Kircher is forgetting that those were liti gated se ttl ements, not voluntary agreements. ' " It (the $3 million) may pale in comparison to what lawyers are asking for, but we don't believe that any of those lawsuits that are beyond the statute of limitasucceed," tions could Andriacco said. Those people could share in the fund created by the archdiocese. Jeff Anderson, a St. Paul, Minn. , lawyer who specializes in civil abuse lawsuits against religious organizations, said creating the compensation fund was a shrewd move by the archdiocese but "a disaster for every survivor." "They may have pulled a one," said real fast Anderson, who (s co-coun'sel in some lawsuits against the Cincinnati archdiocese. "This is an ext~aordinary · end run." · Archbi shop Daniel Pil arczyk, in announcing the fund, said he knew it was only a token. " I realize, of course, that no amount of money can take away the pain and suffering of those who have been injured by sexual abu se as children," Pilarczyk said. " But I hope that the fund can bring a measure of closure and reconciliation to the victims of child abu se by agents of the archdiocese." Although Pilarczyk didn 't become leader of the archdiocese until December 1982, he accepted responsibility on Thursday · for the " institutional" failure of the archdiocese to report allegations of sex crimes by PA. 0 ~ IND. r··---·····---.---·---··~-, ~_ngstown !48~:J .. _!1ansfleld 150°/66° j • !

About 25 Kent students accept hepatitis A protection KENT (AP) - Shots to guard against hepati ti s A were offered to residents of a Kent State University dormitory after a student contracted the disease from a restaurant near Pittsburgh. The male student, whose name was withheld by the university, is recovering at liome in Pennsylvania. · About 25 students in his dormitory took up the offer in early October for shots of immune globulin, university spokesman Ron Kirksey said Saturday. The school ordered SO doses of the antibody treatment that greatly reduces chances of contracting the dise ase if given within 14 days after expcsure. "As far as we can tell , no one else is ill (in Kent)," Kent ·. Health Commissioner John Ferlito said. Shots were offered to those who share a bathroom with the sick student in Fletcher Hall, which houses 245 students, Kirksey said. Ferlito said the student visited the restaurant early in October. He returned to Kent State, got sick and went home and was diagnosed. About 575 diners got ill after eating at a Chi-Chi 's restaurant at the Beaver Valley Mall, about 25 miles from Pittsburgh. It is the nation's biggest known outbreak of hepatitis A. Fifty,two cases have been confirmed in Ohio, said Kristopher Wei ss, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Health.

READER'S VIEW Luc ItS nobodys fault Gall ia Cou nty is lu,ky. Thi s week. our emergency response · members were put to the test with several terrible accidents. In one those accidents, a woman was trapped inside her vehi cle. and had she been seriously hurt, she probably would have died inside the car. In anot her acc ident involving a school bus, had the bus been filled wi th ch ildren, some may have been injured. O ur emergency re,ponse workers are doing the best they can. but do not have the proper equipment or protective gear to do their jobs. They are operating with a rescue truck that wou ld probably not pass in spection by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. and equipment that does not work. But. nobody is at fault. We don ' t have the money. The "houl bus a((ident required two ambulances. Many penp le in the wunty may not know th <1t there are only two ambula1Kes on duty 24-hours a day. A two-c ar. head-on coll ision that occurred at the same time as the bus accident had to be handled by local volunteer firefighters and EMS units from Mason County, W.Va. We didn't ha ve anyone else to se11d fro m our own county. · Too bad if units from Mason and Meigs counties are handling thei r own emerge ncies and are not available to help us. Strike three and you're out. But agai n. it's nobody's fa ult. We don't have the money. If it weren't for our local fire departments and the equiptnent and personnel they have, things would not get done. In the EMS profess ion, we talk about the 'Golden Hour.' This is the hour that we have to get to the patient and get them to the hospital for medical care. Well, our hour was up when we took 45 minutes to remove the woman from her vehicle · ~fler sev~ra l equipment failures hindered our rescue attempts. Wake up Gallia County. Another accident. which occurred late at night, did not require our heavy rescue truck to respond. Thank God, because the headlights do not work properly and you can't see to drive. But. nobody is at lj ult. We don' t have the money. · Operating a 24-11our a day, 365-days a year operation is expensive. but necessary. The nex t time I have to tell someone that their loved one is dead I will also let them know that nobody is at fault. We just didn 't have the money.

But your best plan is to not get a cold or flu in the first place. According to the American Society of Medical Doctors Who Cannot See You Now, you should take these basic precautions dur- · ing cold and flu season: I. Drink plenty of fluids (' fluid s' is the medical tenn for 'beer'). 2. Remove all doorknobs from your home and office. 3. If you have chil~ren espec iall y small children who attend preschool with other small children - ship them to New Zealand. Also, just to be safe, you ·should get a snail shot.

In Baghdad, a civ il ian cargo plane was forced to land with its wing ablaze, apparently hit by a shoulder-launched missile. The plane, tlown by the Be lgium-based delivery company DHL, was trailing thick smoke and missi ng part of its wingtip as it made an emergency landin g at Baghdad International Airport. A military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plane was stru9k by a SAM-7 surface-to-air missile. Insurgents have used such shoulder-launched weapons to shoot down military helicopters in central Iraq. The military said it was still investigating the cause of the fire. In the past, planes have been targeted - but not hit - by rockets as they went in and out of Baghdad airport, a main hub for U.S. force s and liumanitarian supplies, the military said. The attacks on the police stations in Khan Bani Saad and nearby Baqouba which occurred within a half hour of each other - came U.S. intelligence after reports warning of an upsurge in attacks near the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which comes to a close in a few days. ln Khan Bani Saad, a market town on the northeastern outskirts of Baghdad, I0 people were killed, including six policemen, three civilians and the vehicle's driver, according to Capt. Ryan McCormick of the 4th Infantry Division. Iraqi police said one of the dead was a 5-year-old girl. Ten people were wounded, McCormick said. McCormick said a police guard fired on the approach- ing vehicle but could not stop the blast. He said there were no U.S. or other coalition casualties. "I was standing at the gate of the station, washing my car, when I saw a Chevrolet Caprice speed toward the gate," said Sgt. Aqil Suheil, who was wounded in the Khan Bani Saad attack. "I heard a loud explosion. I found myself under the car. I got out quickly and ran toward the street and then lost consciousness." In Baqouba, about 12 miles to northeast of here, three policemen and the driver were killed. One policeman was missing, Lt. Wi sam Ahmed said. Official s said at least I0 civilians were hurt. Police Sgt. Ammar Ahmed said he saw a white Nissan Land Cruiser approach the police station at normal speed. · As the driver approached the gate, police signaled him to stop but instead he detonated the vehicle. "There was a driver inside the car," Ahmed said. There have been five vehicle bombings in Iraq since Wednesday, mo.stly targeting Iraqis who support the coalition . A bomb Wednesday night exploded at the home of a pro-U.S. sheik in Ramadi . 011 Thursday, a blast occurred at the offices of a U.S.-allied Kurdish political party in Kirkuk. Late Friday, a truck blew up near the office of a British de-mining company in lrbil. In New York, Human Rights Watch criticized the insurgents for attacking Iraqi civilians perceived , to be cooperating with the U.S.led occupation. "All Iraqi civilians are protected by the Geneva Conventions," Joe Stork, an official with the human rights watchdog, said in New York. "It doesn't matter whether they sympathize with the .U.S. occupation or the insurgents." U.S. military officials said they were warned by intelli- reports to expect an upsurge in attacks, particularly in the province that includes Baqoutia, toward the end of Ramadan. Lt. Col. Steve Russe ll , a battalion commander in the 4th Infantry Division, said U.S. intelligence officials fear that rel igious extremists may try to commit "good works" at the e1 -~ of the holy month by attacking Americans. Kh an Bani Saad and Baqouba are pan of the socalled "Sunni Triangle" north and west of the capital that has seen fierce resistance to the U.S.-Ied occupation. The DHL plane had been headed from Baghdad to Bahrain, with three crewmembers on board, when it turned around to make an emergency Jandi~g at the Iraqi capital's international airport, said Xavier De Buck, a DHL spokesman in · Brussels, Belgium. The U.S. military and DHL said the cause of the fire was . still being investiga ted. But a military source said the plane had been struck by a SAM-7 missile , and the damage appeared . consistent with effects of such an explosion. A photograph taken from the ground showed !lames at the gene~ spot where the ailero9s and flaps meet on the left wing's trailing edge. After the emergency landing, DHL:. canceled its next flight into Baghdad, De Buck said. The delivery company has been making two or three flights a day into Baghdad since June. The airport, which has been turned into a base for U.S . forces , has not been fully reopened to commercial !ligh ts, but civilian freight carriers operate there. The only commercial airline servi ng Baghdad , Royal Jordanian, said it would suspend fli ght s for three days, but didn't giv e a reason. AirServ. a South African organization that !lies mainly aid workers, said it would continue flights to Baghdad. In recent weeks, insurgents have shot down fi ve U.S. helicopters using . shoulderfired mi ssiles and rocketpropelled grenades. About 40 U.S. servicemen were killed and nearly two dozen injured. . The car bombings occurred a day after guerrillas fired more than a .dozen rockets from donkey carts at the Oil Mini stry and two hotels used by forei gn journalists and civilian defense contractors. One civilian contractor was wounded when the rockets exploded at the Palestine Hotel and at the nearby Sheraton. There were no casualties at the Oil Ministry, whic h was closed for the Muslim day of prayer. . The attacks on som e of th e most heavily guarded buildings in the cen ter of the capi tal appeared de signed to demonstrate that th e guerril las retain the ability to strike at will despite the over whelming presence of U.S. and Iraqi sec urity forces . "They're trying to break our will. They' re trying to seize the headlines ... but they ' re militarily insignificant," Brig . Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the U.S. military deputy director for opera: tion s. said of Friday 's attacks. However, Kimmitt acknow ledged the attacks point to "a very clever enemy who knows that we don't have the best intelligence in 'the world."

Michigan 's lead was dwindling, the record crowd was on edge and Ohio State seemed poise for another big comeback. John Navarre then delivered a perfect 30-yard strike to Tyler Ecker that set up Chris Perry's IS-yard touchdown run and helped spoil the Buckeyes' bid tor a repeat national title. Perhaps the most maligned quarterback in Michigan history, Navarre will end his prolific career as a champion. He threw for 278 yards and two touc~down s Saturday, leading the htth-ranked Wolverines to a 35-21 win over No. 4 Ohio State and a probable Rose · Bowl bid. The Wolverines ( 10-2, 7-1 Big Ten) snapped a two~game sktd against their biggest rivals and won the Big Ten title outright for the first time since 1997. They were to be invited to the Rose Bowl after the game and will accept the invitation unless they move up from ninth to second in the BCS standinl\s and earn a berth in the national title game at the Sugar Bowl. Perry ran for 154 yards and two scores as Michigan's offensive line dominated Ohio State 's stellar front seven, which leads the nation by allowing 50.5 rushing yards per game. The Buckeyes ( 10-2, 6-2) lost for just the second time in 26 games. But Perry had huge holes to run through all day and Navarre hail plenty of time to throw in the IOOth meeting in one of college football's greatest rivalries. The victory was vindication for Navarre, who holds nearly all the passing records at Michigan but had never been able to come up with the big wins unti I this season. The target of boos for much of his career, Navarre was introduced to a tremendous ovation from the NCAArecord crowd of 112,118 as the seniors were honored before the game. Then he delivered to cap a season featuring wins over Michigan's three biggest rivals: Ohio State, Michigan State and Notre Dame. He was mobbed as the students rushed the field after he took a knee on the final play of the game. The win came 34 years to the day that Michigan spoiled Ohio State's repeat bid for a national championship and started a 10-year battle between Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes. That was one of many times the Wolverines' spoiled the Buckeyes' championsh_ip dreams - including m 1993, '95 and '96. But those wins carne against John Cooper who was 2-10-1 in the series before getting fired - and weren't enough to give Michigan a Big Ten championship.

"We can be accused of .hypocrisy if we're se nding one message at one level and doing something else at another," athletic director Andy Geiger said. Starting next year, Ohio State will not allow alcohol advertising in the local contracts it controls or in any publications. Ohio State sold advertising righis for $ 1A million this year. Radio stations broadcast football and men's and women's basketball games. The spring football game is on television . For now, Ohio State cannot ban advertising on its nationally televised games. The Big Ten bundles and se lls advertising rights and has a contract that expires in 2006 . Geiger said he will take the idea on the ban to the other Big Ten sc hools in February in hopes of getting other .schools to go along. The Center for the Science in the Public Interest approached Geiger about the ban before the school year. "We believe it's a conflict of interest for (colleges) to be telling underage students not to drink and at the same time be in bed with the beer industry," said George Hacker, the center 's director. The center is asking colleges to ban alcohol advertising in local programing, at the conference level and during bowl game s. It also calls on the NCAA to adopt a policy to eliminate such ads. The Beer Institute says the campaign is directed to the wrong crowd. It says 88 percent of those who watch college fo~tball and 87 percent of those who watch college basketball are 2 1 or older. In 2002, alcohol companies spent $22.3 million on adverti sing during college football games and $58.1 million on all college spans , accordi ng to the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth .

However, he did modify his forecas t a tad. "Yep. I'd say 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7," Little said . "Just look at it." Uh, do we really have to?

February.· One more loss - and they've lost every game but one since Sept. 21 - and they may not make it to December before their games don 't mean much except to their opponents. This has been the most disappointing of coach Bill Cowher's 12 seasons in Pittsburgh, one in which little has gmie ri ght and much has gone wrong for disbelieving players who seem to play a weekly game of selfdenial. They understood there might be occasional trouble spots in an aging team that made few personnel changes followin g a I0-5- 1 season, but they didn 't expect acros >·the-board breakdowns on offense and defense. Their nmning game, with Jerome Bettis possi bly on his last legs, is the franchise's worst in 34 years. They haven't gai ned even the rushing one-third yardage they got onl y two years ago. Stt1ck in an increasingly one-dimensional attack, quarterback Tommy Maddox has followed his big comeback year wi th a comedown.

These are the things we need to do to get the respect we deserve - beat the Kansas City Chiefs, beat all those big teams to let people know it's not the same old Bengal s." The Chargers, meanwhile, have n' t had a winning record or been to the playoffs since 1995 . Since then they've suffered throu gh Kevi n Gilbride, Ry an Leaf, numerous bad drafts by former genera l manager Bobby Beathard and a 1- 15 record in 2000. So, would it be embarrassing to lo,se to the Bengals?... "I'm embarrassed already," said fullback Lorenzo Neal, who pl ayed with the Bengals the last two seasons. " I'm embarrassed of this season. You coul d not have told me, 'Lorenzo, you're going to come in here and you guys are not going to win nine games.' "Just like winning 's an atti tude. losing 's an atti tude. So we ca n' t go into · that rut. " At the end of training camp, owner Alex Spanos promised a return to the playoffs. Instead, he's seen hi s 20-year record tumbl e to 132- 187 . 'fhe Chargers have gone to the playoffs on ly three times under Spanos. Coach Marty Schottenheime r chafes at suggestion s the Chargers are rebuilding and takes exception to his team being compared to the Bengals of old . "While certainl y right now. in the process of this season and the 11ast season, we ' re not where we want to be. I still think that it's a good franchise and I think it's something that we can build on," he said. Ju st before the seaso n started, Schottenheimer call ed the Chargers ·•a 'da mn good foo tball team." And now? · "We ' re not playing like a damn good football team.

"It's goi ng to be real differen t not to have them arou nd nex t year," Fmnce said. ·· \.Vi n~lOn has been a big part of this spoi1 most of my life." Indeed. Many changes await NASCAR in 2004. The season-ending Ford 400 was the last go-rou nd fur R.J . Rey nolds Tobacco Co.'s Winston brand as ti tle sponsor fo r NASCAR 's top . series. Communications giant tliex tel takes over next season in the first .yem of a 10-year. $700 million commitment.

"There are people who say we haven't really had a significant championship run and the excit ement 's not as good as it could be." France said. "But we hear that every year and we do look at it every year and I'm just looking at it maybe a little closer than ever in my new role." The competit ion could get a lot tig hte r in 2004 when NASCA R cuts three-quarters of an inch off the rear spoilers uf all the cars and Goodyear supplies a sotier tire that wears out quicker than the one in use since 2001. NASCA R hopes that less downforce and more tire wear will force teams to rely less on fuel and tire strategies and fast pit stops for track position. What it wants is more wheelto-wheel racing. ·'Man, I think it's going to put the <In ver bac k in the driver's seat.'. former champion Rusty Wallace said.

N.C. - By recent sta~F dards. Jamie. McMurray doesn 't have much to brag about. · Sure, he won the Rookie of the Year title, but he di d it without a single trip to VIctory Lane. After fuur straight years of ;1ellar rookie classes, the 2003 version never li ved up to the hype. This class had to tollow Tony Stewart, Mall Kenselh, Kevin Harv ick and Ryan New man. All four won races their fi rst seasons en rou te to the rookie title, and all but Ken seth fin ished in the top I0 in points at the end of the ir inaugural year. Although McMurray beat Greg Bitlle fo r rookie honors th is year, his overall numbers. fe ll short of th e standards set before him. He had one pole - in last weekend's season tinale - ti ve top fives, 13 top IOs aml ended up 13th in the point standin gs. "I th ink our season has been OK," McMurray said. "We definitely wanted lO win a race before the season was ove r. We put ourselves in position to win, and that's all you can do. When it's yo ur day, it's your day." There we re very few stellar days for the 2003 rookie class. Onl y McMurr.ry and Casey Mears, hi s Chip Ganass i Racing teammate. qualified for all 36 races. Birlle was the only member to win a race when he caught a break with fuel strategy at Daytona in July. Larry Foyt failed to qualify for several races and missed a handful of others with injury. Tony Raines didn 't have the spon·sorship to compete regularly the emire season, and Jack Sprague didn 't make it to the end of the year. It was very different from years past, when Stewart set a rookie record with three victories in 1999, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kenseth battled in 2000 and Hqrvick won two events in 200 I. Then there was last season. when Newman and Jimmie John son dueled to th e end.

With the pressure now on rookies to race more like savvy veterans and compete fo r victori es every week, it's easy to call this class a disappointment . "You' re ne ve r going to make everybody happy.'' McMurray said. "Nobody is going to win without a front-line car and a from -line team. All the curs that win are the best race cars, that's for sure. Nobody gets in an av erage car and wins in Winston Cup. It's too hard." But Mears had the same equipment as McMurray, yet could ne ver equal his teammate's success. He didn 't score a single top 10 fini sh and ended up 35th in the point standings. "It was a tough season for us." Mears said. "I jumped into Winston Cup racing a little too soon, so it's been a really long year and it 's been really fru strating at times." So much so that there were whispers midway through the summer that Mears would be replaced by the results-driven Ganassi. Instead, the car owner began ente!ing Mears in every race he co-uld from ARCA to the Busch Series to slowly bring him along . 1t seemed to be working at the end of the season, when Mears was qualifying strong and showing progre" in Winston C up events. "When yuu first slart the seasun. things probably feel li ke they' re movi ng way ttxl fas t around you.'' Mears said. "Things are happening before you even grab a hold of them and see them. "But I felt like I caught up as th e season came to an end. I fe lt more comfortahlc in the seal and I felt like I learned a lot..·· In the end, the entire class pro bably felt that way.

Overturning rocks and . other potential hiding spots, · Cartmill would search for : se rpents every day during the summer. Trips to the Cincinnati Zoo for the young Cartmill meant the whole day spent at the reptile house. How this hobby started is · a mystery even to Cartmill, but ~e knew one day he wanted to turn it into his profession. "I can't ever remember not catching snakes," Cartmill, 55, said while sitting in his office at the Cabell County Career Technology Center with a timber rattlesnake and a copperhead resting safely a few feet from him in containers. Cartmill realized his reptilian dream and now is recognized by area fire department s and other organizations as the local authority on snakes and other coldblooded creatures. Cartmill splits time between his job as a counselor at the career center and as a herpetologist, a scientist who studies reptiles. Cartmill teaches herpetology at Ohio University's southern campus and lectures to many area groups on reptiles, particularly snakes. He teaches fire departments and raft &uides how to deal with venomous snakes and snake bites. Cabell County 911 has.. him on speed dial if a pet reptile, like a python, cobra or alligator, gets loose. Cartmill still catches · snakes in the wild for study and uses them in his lectures. He always releases the snakes he captures. At home, he keeps roughly 12 snakes bred in captivity. These snakes include rattlesnakes, copperheads, boa constrictors and pythons. Cartmill finds his craft becoming more popular as he gives lectures to local groups and schools on a weekly basis over the summer. Cartmill said I 0 years ago, he only got lecture jobs once or twice a month.

JENNIFER WALKER ATHENS - When Jennifer Walker graduated from Meigs High School last May. she was valedictorian, a member of the National Honor Society and an active member of the drama club. In her spare time. she performed lhe Wizard of Oz as Dorothy. She is a freshman living on campus at Ohio University and maJoring in theater. During exam week, Walker performed as Zanita in ~he Rtverbend Community Theater's 'The Music Man.' Walker said she has had to adjust to living in the Athens college scene. She 'lives in a "mod". where her dorm room opens up into a common area shared by the other students . She has· been exposed to different people who are her ·'roommates" in the mod. "The diversity at Ohio Universit>' is really intense because · m Meigs County I would never have the opportunity · to meet people from other places," she said. "It is culture shock because you are so used to Meigs Coumy, which is so conservative compared to Athens, but it is cool to have rela_tionships with people with diff!!rent backgrounds." Walker is a diligent, dedicated student who is also a member' of Campus Crusade for Christ. She is surrounded by a few people in the mod who have taken a more traditional college route of rebellion and excess because they are away from home for the first time. Noise is commonplace on the weekend s. Walker said she would wear earplugs,.but they prevent her from hearing her alarm clock in the morning. "People don't care what you do here." she said. ''It is up to you to do the work and study every night. I have to work hard to keep up ." While Walker gets along well with her roommates, she is more. focused on school ·work, auditions and gradua. lion . She knows that some of classmates who party a little too hard will not he back. "I haven't done any drugs or alcohol," she said. ''I've .tried to stay away from it. I have seen the effects of what alcohol can do and I wouldn't bring that on myself." Walker has a busy schedule and is taking four classes. She has colored schedule grids tilled with class times and appointments tac)<.ed to th~ door of her closet. Walker said there is no neeqless busy work like in high school. but her schoolwork is still vel] demanding since Ohio University professors must squeeze everything into a I0week quarter. "It's been hard, but its just an adjustment," she said. "ln I0 weeks we covered what it took a year to cover in high school.'' __ ...., . ··- �·iunbap tEime~ -ientinel H · .1. 0 UR · 0 METQWN "V" Page C2 sunday, November 23, ON THE .TUBE 2003 <,.=..::.:.:.::.2.....:.:.:=:...=..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.::..:...__-==--=:.....::~=--.:::..::::...:::...:::.;..:=.:::::...=.-=-....:.....:----.;.___.....:.:;.~~--;.;_- HMC Observes Perioperative Nurses Week Light, really light, reading GALLIPOLIS - H o l1 ~r Medical Center recently obscnwl Pcrioperati w Nurses We~k Nov. lJ- 15.

A rival detective agency threatens the business. the kids act up. and Mma. Mak:utsi. the other lady detective, decides to stan a typing school for men only, because they would be embarrassed to take typing lessons in the company of women. A successful engineer hires the age ncy to find a woman he wron ged when he was a college student, plus a family from whom he stole a radio. He wants to make amends and soothe his conscience. This is a slight, simply written book . The characters' love for their native land, Botswana, and a longing for the good old days seem typical of people everywhere.

Luther Vandross, 50 Cent among American Music Awards winners Music Review: Britney Spears's 'In The Zone' ' !. ."not a gir1, not yet a woman," is going out of her way to show us she's all grown up. We've seen the 21-year-old Spears undressed so often, ·i ts become shocking to see a clothed Brilney. · Add her lip-lock with Madonna, cigarette smoking :and tales of wild party escapades, and the former Mousekeeler seems to have lurned into a Girl GoRe Buck Wild. : "In the Zone," being released Tuesday by Jive Records. is a celebration of )1er newfound freedom and ~eb a uch e ry, with Spears ·Sounding like a college freshman who's just discovered -:th~ party house on sorori Ly row. : ·"Passed out on the couch :Urid yawnin '. just walked in and it's three in the mornin'" she coos on "Early Morn in ','' while on "( l Go! That) Boom Boom." the Ying Yang Twins shout, "We fixi n' to go to the club to get cr.unked with Britney!" . Too bad it's not as fun li stening to this album as making it. Though there are a few entertaining parts, the majorily of the disc is prelly insipid. That's not·any different from any other Britney album, but with all the heavy hitters involved - includin g R. Kell y, Moby and Madonna - this time the disappoint ment is more of a surprise. Pan of the reaso n why the album fails is because for all her proclamations abo ut being an adult , Spears still sounds like she hasn't grown up very much - emotionally. vocally and most importantly, arti stically. There are great , sensual , driving dance bea" that pick up where 2001 's' "l'm a Slave 4 U," left off. But it's hard to get into the .. any of those groo ves with Spears singing - . or more accurately, whi spering - like a little girl trying to act sexy. While Spears may not be the most talented singer, she stiII has some semblance of a voice, and comes off stron ger when she. tries to use it, like on the entrancing 'Toxic'' with it s catchy string arra ngement. In stead, she resorts to moaning and heavy breathing on the bump-and-grind trance grooves "Breathe on Me" and "Touch of My Hand." a ten- der love story between a girl and her hand . The end result sounds artific ial and force d. But it 's not always Spears' fault when the songs go bad. The R. Kelly-penned song ·"Outrageous" is outrageou sly silly. "Outrageous! My sex drive' Outrageous! My shoppin g spree ' Outrageou s' We ' re on a world tour' " Spears warbles, sounding like a "Saturday Night Live" parody. or maybe the theme song for Paris Hilton . And Spears and Madonna ge nerated more heal smooching on the MTV Awards than they do on the vapid ." Me Against the Music," proving that simply throwing two superstars together isn't enough to make a hit. There 's also a sappy ballad, "Everylime." which is only wo rthwhile li stening for tabloid fans playing pop psychologist, trying 10 discern if it's the epilogue of her muchdissected breakup with Timberlake. Making the transition from 1een star to adult performer is always a tricky adjustment, and plenty of singers have siUmbled along the way we need only look back to Chri stina Aguilera's embarrassing peep video "Dirrty" to be reminded of that. But Spears seems unable to make the leap from child's play to ad ult fare. She seems stuck in Barbie· mode, unabl e to morph into a three-dimen' ional artist with anything more to offer than pretty poses . LOS ANGELES (AP) Soul singer Luther Vandross, who is recovering from a debilitating stroke tl1at threatened to end not o nly his career but his life, won a· leading two Ameri can Music Awards on Sunday. The 52-year-cild sin~;er can speak and walk with asststance, but representatives recently said he remains far from full y recovered. He was honored as best male R&B perfonmer and favorite soul-R&B album for his most recent CD, "Dance with My Father," which was completed shortly before his stroke in April. Mary .Vandross, hi s mother, accepted the male performer award on his behal!. "I'm so very sorry that Luther cannot be here tonight in · person," she told the crowd, after a brief moment of tearful speechle ss ness . "I ' m here to represent him and say thanks to.,.all of you who made this ,POssible." "The Shield' star Michael Chiklis walked into the audience 'to present the second award to the elderly woman, who had difficulty climbing the stage steps the first time. Tough-guy rapper 50 Cent also won two awards for best male rap artist and best raphip-hop album for "Get Rich or Die Tryin,"' a griuy CD about his many brushes with death on the street. 50 Cent, who often wears a bulletr:roof vest; has been shot nine limes and stabbed. Born to a teenage mother who dealt drugs and was killed when he was 8, he started dealing drugs before he was a teenager. Alabama collected its 23rd American Music Award, this one fo r favorite co untry group. The quartet, which is currently on Jts farewell concert lour, has more AMA wins th an any other perform er followed by Michael Jackson with 21 and Kenny Rogers with 19. The late soul songstress Aaliyah was honored ~L~ best female R&B artist, her th ird American Music Award since she died in a plane crash in 200 I. Missy Elhott was late picking up her trophy for female rap-h1p-hop artist. MTV's "Newlyweds" pop stars Nick Lachey and ·Jessica Simpson announ ced the award for female count ry artist, wh ich Faith Hill won. "All I' ve ever wanted to do is just stand onstage and sing and xou fans have made it poss1ble time and time again," said Hill , who has four previous American MUSIC Award s. Her hou sehold received a second award when husband Tim McGraw won favorite male country artist. They al so won separate American Mu sic Aw ards together in 2001 and 2002 .

I sat up enough that I could see over and around cars, but large SUVs and trucks sti II blocked my V IeW. The new V6, which is expected to be in 80 percent of Highi<inde rs sold, has 3.3 liters of di splacement. inste ad of last year' s 3 liters. It's al so used in Toyota's 2004 Sienna mini van and 2004 Solar J coupe. Mated to a new, ti ve-speed automatic tran smi ssion, this engine delivers power easily. Horsepower · is 230 in the new engine and compares with 240 horses in the former Highlander V6. Torque is up to 242 foot-pounds at 3,600 rpm vs. 222 at 4,400 rpm last year. The engine improvements were needed, since major competitors. such as the Honda Pi lot and Nis san Murano have more power. The Murano's V6 provides 245 horses and 246 footpounds of torque at 4,400 rpm while the Pilot 's V6 generates 240 horsepower and 242 foot-pounds of torque at 4,500 rpm . Starting MSRP, including destination charge, for a 2004 Pilot is $27.590, while a 2004 Murano starts at $28,850. Note the Pilot comes only with four-wheel drive. Still , the Highlander with V6 gets a bit better fuel mileage than las! year. And unlike the Murano and Pilot, the Highlander offers a four-cylinder engine. For 2004. the Highlander's 2.4-liter, four-cylinder model gets a bit more power, going from 155 horses to 160 and from 163 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm to 165 foot -pounds at 4,000 rpm. The fueJ · economy rating, though, is identical to last year's. Also new : The optional side airbags for front- seat passengers include curtain airbags that provi de head protection for first- and second-row passengers. It does not extend to passe ngers in the new third-row seat. The Hi ghlander' s quiet interior remains. and Toyota didn' t change. lengthen or restyle the Highlander to fit in the third-row seat Small adults and children are best suited for the Highlander's two-person third row. Legroom of 30.2 inches - and headroom of 36.3 inches - can feel confinin g. The larger Pilot has 38.9 inches of headroom but the same 30.2 inches of third-row legroom. It s back seat is set up to accommodate three people. The Murano doesn't otfer third-row seating. The Highlander has held the top ranking in its segment the last two years in J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study. It's also a recommended buy of Co nsumer Reports. which lists the predicted relithe 2004 ability of Highlander as much better than· average. Toyota offi cials said about 65 perce nt of Hi gh lander buyers are women. Buyers . also are coll ege-educated professionals. The highest concentrati on of Highl ander buyers are in the ir 40s, Toyota offi cia ls said. About 35 percent of buyers so far have had children in their hou se hold, with m ~;dian ho use hold in co me around $70.000. The Nati ona l Highway Traffic Safety Administration has no crash test ratings and no safet y recalls for the 2004 Highlande r. Last Dece mber, 176 Highlanders from the 2003 model year were recalled because a port-in stalled alloy wheel installation did not provide proper lug nuts for the spare tire.

Federal bprea Video Rental Caterlq Service •J ! . GALLIPOLIS - · Don Mink has always loved cars. And after 42 years in the business and 57 years behind the wheel, the passion is still there. Now that Mink has turned his used car business, Gallia · Auto Sales over to his son David, he can concentrate on his first love - Ford Model As. "My first car was a 1931 Model A, at age 16," Mink said, " I learned to drive in one . I'm now 73 years old and I still drive them," . In the past three years, he said, he has restOred three classic cars. "It takes a long time to do one . But I enjoy it," Mink had enough professional experience to hefp him out w1th hi s hobby. "I've done r.aint and body work all my hfe," he said. Among the cars he has worked on is a beige fourdoor convertible Phaeton, which Mink dubbed the "horny truck," because of its scruffy appearance when it arrivecl,, ·. "It had all these horns on it and. it was pretty much tied together with string," he said. Then , three years ago, a chance meeting with Dan Whiteley, another local Model A owner, le~ to the ~' forming of "Southern A's". Whiteley said, " I took a tire off my Model A over to Jim Daly to get it fixed. Don was si tttng there and he said "We have to talk about the cars - history. mechanical information," Mink said. "And bring snacks, of course. We do both on the "I've found it enjoyable in my retired life. It's good to have something to do. I can't wait to get up each day and work on my ' cars. " -Don Mink 'that's a Model A tire. You have Model As?' So we talked and decided to stari a club." The club' s charter meeting was held with 13 members in July of 2000. 'That's how it started," Wniteley said, "Now we have 29 members and probably close to 40 cars," ·The club, which is a regional charter of the nationwide Restorers' Club, meets once a month in Mink's garage. The sign outside, reading 'Model A parking only' makes it pretty clear what members are there for. At each meeting, one person has to act as host and bring bottt'food and knowledge . same night since our memories aren 't that good any- more." Gene Myer is generally considered to be the mechanical wizard of the club. "He's helped a lot of the guys with their engines," '\Vhiteley said. Although there are many national classic car shows, the club as a whole is more interested in actually driving the cars. For instance, Mink said, last summer the A's took a trip to Cass Railroad. "It used to be a logging railroad," he said, "We went and stayed a couple o'f days." The club also visited the floodwall murals at Portsmouth and Wniteley sa id it was well worth the .trip. On a trip to a car show in Michigan . Whiteley and his wife Edna drove "Homer," Dan 's 193 I Model A. " It took nine hours altogether," he said, "It normally only takes about five," There are certain differences to be aware of when driving a classic car. Whiteley and Mink said. The brakes are good, they said. but the y aren't the disc brakes used in a modern car. The driver has to look out for unexpected things on the. road and be prepared to give the car more time to slow down. ·"And of course the steering is different.'' Whiteley said. "You actually have to steer these things," Members of the club say they prefer to drive in groups in case of problems. "Most of us carry parts just ,in case," Whiteley said. "B~t we might .get into a situation where we can't fix something by ourselves," The club also tries to be community-minded, making appearances at parades and weddings and The Ariel Theatre' s ' Maestro For a Moment.' •· · Mink said he · intentls to continue working on the cars and being involved with the club. "It keeps my mind active. keeps me going." Don M1nk works on the body of the 'horny truck.' a Model A he bought from a farmer two years ago. so named because its front was covered with old cai horns. The 'horny truck' improved and good . . as new. �Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt.
