The steering committee which has been planning for enhanced services for medically underserved Meig; countians for more than a year met last week to finalize plans for an application for federal funding to start up the health care facility. April 1 is the deadline for filing the application for a grant of up to $640,000 to be used in establishing a health center. The committee, chaired by Meig; County Conunissioner Mick Davenport, views the health center as a "fir.;t step in expanding local medical care to incl\lde a crit:cal access hospital with .in emergency room." The county has been without hospital and emergency room facilities !Or nearly twO years. Once the grant application is filed it will be about 60 days - late June or early July before a decision is made,.said Susan Isaacs, the grants writer who is Working with George Hoffinan, coordinator for the project. After it is ·approved, th e committee wiD have only 90 days to get the health center up and runnmg. "We know that we can't wait to see if we get approved before we start doing something. We're optimistic, so we 're moving ahead," said Davenport. "We"re going to bring back health services to Meigs County one way or another, and if soinethin g should happen and we get turned down on this grant, th en we're not going to stop, we're just go1hg to change direction." . 4 Sedlonl - Jl ......

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third leading cancer killer in the United States. It is estimated that in 2002, about 148,300 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and 56,600 ·will die fiom the disease. Most people do not even know they have this cancer until it is too late. because symptoms of colorectal cancer typically occur only in advanced stages of the disease, when the relative fiveyear survival rate is only 8 percent. If the cancer is found early, however, the survival rate increases to 90 percent. Only about one in three colorectal cancers are diagnosed early. If the majority of Americans age 50 and older were screened for colorectal cancer, the death rate would plummet by at least one-half. This stunning drop in mortality is possible because colorectal cancer is easily prevented through the identification and removal of polyps (small growths in the colon) long before they turn into .cancer. Colorectal cancer is also very treatable in its early stages. The American Cancer Society rec- · ommends several screening options to people age 50 and older. The tests include: 1) Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) - a s.ample of stool is· examined for blooc;l; 2) Sigmoidoscopy - a slender, lighted flexible tube placed in the rectum allows the doctor to look at the inside of the rectum and part of the colon for cancer or polyps, 3) Colonoscopy - a longer, flexible tube placed through the rectum into the entire colon; and 4) Double-contrast barium enema- an X-ray examination that allows a radiologist to view the entire colon. . People with inflarnn;utory bowel disease or a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps are at higher risk for colorectal cancer and may need to start being tested before age 50, and have the iests performed more often. "We believe that lack of awareness about the benefits of colorectal cancer screening is part of the reason so many people are not discovering their cancer until it is too late," said Nancy Single, Ph.D., vice president of Ca11cer Control at the American Cancer Society, Ohio Division. The ACS advises people age 50 and older to ask. their doctor about colorectal screening. The ACS is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, s.aving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy with the Athens-Meigs Education Service Center for Head Start Replacement Grant in Meigs and Gallia counties; and approve the request of the Centerville Volunteer Fire Department for the donation of cafeteria tables no longer usuable in the Gallia County Local Schools food service program. · The next scheduled meetings are the regular board meeting on April 22, 6 p.m. at the administrative office, and a special meeting April 2, 6 p.m. at Hannan Trace Elementary.

After completing a yearlong investigation, the Commerce Department determined Friday . that Canada subsidizes its industry by charging low fees to log public forests. The department also said Canada allows its industry to illegally "dump" lumber in the United States at artificially low prices. NATIONAL VIEW . Look again Airport security devices may be inadequate for the task • The Fresno (Calif.) Bee, 011 11ew airport bomb detection devices:The government is p.oised to spend $2.5 billion on airport baggage screening machines that the Federal Aviation Administration's own airport ·security experts say often don't work. That .decision deserves a second look. Bogdan Dzakovic, one senior member of FAA undercover "red teams" that tested airport security systems, charges that he and other testers were able to foil the bomb-detection devices before Sept. 11 with "regularity and ease." Speaking at a press conference last week in support of new legislation to strengthen whistle-blower protections, Dzakovic said his FAA bosses ignored his warnings and in some cases ordered him not to issue reports about security failures at some of the nation's biggest airportS. Those same bosses, he claims, have been put in charge of the Transportation Security Agency, hastily established in the wake of last September's terrorist · · attacks. That the security systems at airports were inadequate, and that those responsible for it them were less than diligent, are indisputable. Sept. 11 proved that in the most painful way possible. The real value of Dzakovic's revelations is in the guidance it may offer as the government scrambles to shore up airport security. At minimum, the allegations ought to give pause to federal transportation officials who are rushing to deploy bomb-detecting equipment at the nation's biggest airports by the end of the year. . Dzakovic is not the only expert to raise questions about the adequacy of the devices. While the actual detection rate is a government secret, Defense Department officials who've tested the equipment have told Congress that the machines are far from fail-proof. It is unclear whether failure rates are a function of the machine, human error or both. :.. (E)rror prone or not, the devices may be the best technology currently available. The terrorist threat may be so great that the government has no choice but to deploy them. Still, the doubts raised by people who know the most about airport security shouldn't be ignored.

He cited both Lopez and Morrison in asserting that all of the Constitution's "enumerated powers" have outer limits subject to judicial examination. Without a stopping point, all human activity could become subject to congressional command. " In the copyright case at hand, said Sentelle, the Constitution grams a specific power to Congress.

Armored cars, wate~ cannon trucks and 7,000 rifle_Jrmed security forces in the streets of downtown Lima were on alert for Bush's Saturday afternoon arrival in a Peruvian capital shaken by the car bombing that kiUed nine people. The first . U.S. president ever to visit Peru, Bush was opening talks with President Alejandro Toledo and other Andean nation presidents on the heels of a U.N. economic summit in northern Mexico. At a news conference Friday night, Bush left open the possibility of new military aid for Peru following the car ·bombing on Wednesday. 1 ''We're going to analyze all options available to help Peru," Bush said. But, he added, the United States could do even better for Peru by first pushing stalled trade legislation for Andean nations through the Senate. With his weekly radio address, .Bush also made his trade argument to Americans back home. "Prosperity in our hemisphere will produce profound benefits for all our countries," Bush. said in the broadcast. "The United States is to helph~mi­ that lives in liberty and trades in freedom."

This time the court will explore the outer limits of the copyright clause. Big money hangs on the outcome. The petitioners in Elred v. Ashcroft are corporations, associations and individuals who rely heavily on works in the public domain. They include a choir director, a company that reprints rare, out-of-print books, a vendor of sheet music, and a company that restores old films . In their challenge to the Copyright Term Extension Act of· 1998 (CTEA), they raise fundamental questions of constitutional law. At bottom, the question put to the high court under the copyright clause is the same question recently presented to the jusdces under the commerce clause. The Constitution delegates vast powers to Congress. To what extent does the same Constitution limit those .powers? In the Lopez case of 1995, the court struck down a federal law dealing with guns at local schools. In the Morrison case two years ago, the court held that a federal law punishing violence to women went beyond the outer limits. By way of background: The first Congress of 1790 fixed the maximum term of a copyright at 28 years. This was extended to 42 years in 1831, to 56 years in 1909, and to 100 years in 1976. The CTEA of 1998 extends copyright pro-· tection by another 20 years, to a maximum of 120 years from the year of creation. How far out is an outer limit? The Constitution says, "The Congress shall have power . .. to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for (BEGIN ITAL) limited times (END !TAL) to authors and inventors the exclusiye right to th eir FBI tightens Own security WASHINGTON (AP) -The FBI is reducing by hundreds the number of agents with access to the nation's most sensitive secrets and has administered lie detector tests that have identified possible problems with fewer than 10 of its employees, officials said.

COLUMBUS (AP)- Liability coverage comes with the territory for many mec hanics, carpenters and plumbers, but some conservative Mennonite tradespeople say relying on insurance companies violates a key principle of their faith. "We feel that we are taught by the scriptures to take care of our own responsibilities, our own liabilities, to help our brethren when they have responsibilities," said Lester Otto, a plumber and electrician from the northeastern Ohio village of Mechanicstown. Otto and several other Mennonites want Ohio to. exempt them from a new law requiring commercial tradespeople to carry liability insurance. A bill proposed in the Ohio Legislature would allow tradespeople who oppose coverage on religious grounils to be classified as self-insurer.<. Other states have allowed similar exemptions. !n ''l>ennsylvania and Wisconsin, Mennonite tradespeople offer a pledge to potential employers to make good on any financial claim arising from work they do. In Kentucky, Mennonite tradespeo.ple carry liability coverage but pledge never to fue a claim. They also plan to fight their state's requirement. Under the bill being considered in Ohio, self-insurers would hav.e to meet several guidelines, including proof that their religion believes in helping members financially and evidence that their church is solvent. The sponsor of the bill, state Rep. John . Hagan; runs a northeast Ohio heating and plumbing business. He said he understands · the Mennonites' concer.ns. "I would contend that the consumer is better protected under this situation than they are under the normal insur- ance, because the insurance has a limit," Hagan said. Mennonites don't have a limit, he said. "They don't say, 'At $300,000 we cut off.' If they do something that creates a bigger problem than that, they're going to have to take . " care o f tt. Before Ohio's insurance requirement took effect last year, Otto said he paid liability claims himself - once as much as $1,500. He said he's unfamiliar with any huge liability claims brought against Mennonites, who typically address mistakes once they become aware of them, he said. If an individual congregation can't meet a claim, it solicits help from other congregations. The bill providing for the insurance exemption is opposed by mechanical and electrical contractor.<, who say Mennonite tradespeople are looking for a way al'\)und state licensing laws. Mennonites deny this, saying their motivation is ~olely religious. At least seven Mennonite churches in Ohio back the bill. They are part of Nationwide Fellowship Churches, a large organization of conservative· Mennonites in at least 21 states, · five Canadian provinces and several other · countries. The fellowship withdrew from the main church body in 1959, said Stephen Scott, a · research assistant at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Pennsylvania's Elizabethtown College. "They have a much stricter interpretation of the separation of the church from the world," Scott said. Mennonites are sometimes mistaken for the Amish, their . religious cousins in the Anabaptist tradition, who dress simply and shun most technology.

' BRISTOL, Tenn . {AP) - R ichard C hildress walked into NASCAR's hauler with j ust one question on his mind. " Are we getting any help?" he asked. Wjlen the sanctioning body told him the C hevro lets would not be receiving any aerodynamic assistance, the car owner turned and walked out. The issue of alleged aerodynamic discrepancies has heated up, creating biuer feelings and a war of words in NASCAR. " h's totally ridiculous," said Childress, who owns the Chevrolets driven by Kevin Harvi ~ k , Robby Gordon and Jeff Green. "We don 't have a fighting chance out there, and they know it. They have the data and the results to prove it, and they won't do a thing to help us. It's a joke." Over in the Dodge camp, the leaders are singing a much different tune. "I'm so sick of the whining," said ~ay Evernham, owner of the lntrepids driven by Bill Elliott, Jeremy Mayfield and Casey Atwood. " If they think the Dodges have such an advantage, then take it away from . us and give us Jeff Gordon ." It's unlikely General Mot6rs will agree to th at switch - after all, Gordon has won four Winston Cup titles in their Monte Carlo. But with Chevrolet yet to break into the win column this season and its drivers complaining they aren't competitive on the track, the manufacturer is working hard to get some help for both the Chevys and the Pontiacs . Their argument wa.s boosted ·last week when NASCAR took all four makes to the wind tunnel. Results are not made public, but GM claims the data showed the Chevrolets lag behind the · lntrepids in downforce by 10 percent and the manufacturer was outraged when the sanctioning body did nothing to correct the problem . Downforce gives cars the ability to stick to the track and gain stability at speed. "I was definitely surprised we didn't get anything after the wind tunnel tests," Jeff Gordon said. "But I'm anticipating that will cliangebecause I don't see how things can go on this way and NASCAR expect us to believe it's a l.wel playing field ." General Motors does have a case to back up its argument. hs teams have only one win - and that came from Pontiac's Tony Stewart - in the first five races, compared with three Dodge wins and one Ford victory. They've also got just four drivers in the top 15 in the points standings . And its cars appear to struggle in traffic, proven in the last few weeks when Stewart dominated all day at Las Vegas but struggled to a fifth place finish after coming out in traffic after the final pit stop. Jeff Gordon had a similar fate last week at Darlington, running alone up front most of the race, only to have his car become mediocre once he got into traffic. "It was so obvious what was going on . out there," he said after his ninth- place finish at Darlington. "Up front, in · clean air, we were good. Put us in a· pack and w.e turned to junk." GM can't figure out why its pleas are falling on deaf ears . hs teams point to the HJ'rn so sick of tire whining. If they think the Dodges have such an advantage, then take it away from us and give us jejf Gordon. " c.r-RayEwmh8m season-opening race at Daytona, when the Fords complained from . the day the cars arr ived ·a nd eventually got two separate reductions in its rear spoiler height. Dodge also lobbied for help and got a reduction before the race. "We certainly remember how quickly NASCAR . mo)o'ed prior to the Daytona 500 to help Dodge and Ford," said GM group manager Doug Duchard. " With the data from (the wind tunnel) !est and the precedent set in Daytona, we expected consistent and equitable treatment." Now it's up to NASCAR to decide which arguments have the most validity and hc;>w to address them. For now, president Mike Helton said the sancti6ning body plans to do nothing. " We're not going to r~act just because some9ne is raising !toly Cain . We'll react becau ~ e we feel like we need to," Helton said. · NASCAR wants to sort through all of the complaints, he said. "It gets turned up preuy high depending on what moment we're in. That takes a lot of time. That's a big di straction, trying to cut through all of that," Helton said. Adding to the GM frustrations is an inspection process 'that teams claim is a lit.tle more rigid under new Winston Cup director John Darby, who has added ends to the templates that go over the car and forbid too much leniency on the car's width. '" "He made, some changes," ~elton said. That doesn t mean last years mspect10n pr~ces~ was d~~cient. It's a differen~. way of domg 1t,~d 1t s a more exact way. But the earns claim Darby's .Teth~d has c~?"po~ .ded the problem . HIS mspect1on process has taken a much closer look at the noses of our cars," said Robbie Loomis, Jeff Gordon's crew chief. "There. used to be a gr.ay area and maybe you could sneak some things through there. Not anymore and it's making the problem worse ." One solution would be for NASCAR to go to a common template, where every car would be the same. Currently, the Dodges and the Fords are very similar to each othet, and the Chevrolets and Pontiacs each have their own mold. But the new Pontiac scheduled to debut next season is rumored to have 'a strong resemblance to the Intrepid and Taurus. If true, it would leave the Monte Carlo alone and likely continuing to struggle. Helton isn't sure that NASCAR will ever reach the stage of one model for all its cars. "There is a benefit for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Dodge and Ford to have brand identity in these garage areas," he said. "That's the .backbone of the competition and the business."

' :Once futuristic, cookie-cutter stadium to crnmble BRADENTON, Aa. (AP) - The usU311y low- profile Pittsburgh Pirates have had rwo instances of public griping this week - and manager Lloyd McClendon is having none of it. On Monday, the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette quoted outfielder Derek Bell as saying he was going on 'Operation ·Shutdown' after being told he has to compete with Armando Rios and Craig Wilson for the starter's job in · right field. Bell hit .173 with five homer.; and 13 RBis last year and · did not play after Julr 3 l?ecause of~ strained hamstring. ·. The Pirates wem 62-100 last season, tying Tampa Bay for the worst record in baseball and Bell, with a rwo-year, -. $9.75-million contract, became a lighting rod for criti- , . . cism. Now journeyman right-hander Pat Rapp says he is . upset about how he has bee11 used during the exhibition . season after signing a minor. league cont~ct with the . , Pirates shortly before spring training. . Rapp came into spring training as one of 11 candidates .. vying for five spots in the starting rotation. The Pirates . appear to have settled on left-bander.; Jinnny Andenon, Ron Villone and Dave Williams and right-hander Kip . Wells as four of the starters. That leaves Rapp to battle with right-banders Josh Fogg and Sean Lowe for the remaining spot Rapp got his first start ~f the exhibition season Wednes- ' day and was bombed by the New York Yankees, giving up · . ..six runs, three earned, in ·three innings. ' Rapp said he has not been given the playing time he needs. He has made four appearances with his first start ' on Wednesday and has an 8.71 ERA in 10 1-3 innings ' this spring. "I thought I was coming here to get a chance, that they • weren't completely happy with their starting pitchers because they were either always hurt or too young," Rapp said. "I don't know what to think now. I have no idea · what is going on or what is going to happen." Manager Lloyd McClendon did not hesitate to fire : back. ' "Usually people who make excuses are losers," · McClendon said. "Take that for what it's worth." Bell has since backed down from remarks he made earlier this week but said he is not looking forward to the . ·home opener against Cincinnati in less than three weeks. . "I dori't know ifl can go back to Pittsburgh because I don't have any friends there now," Bell said. "Everyone .. there is mad at me. I won't have any fans at home and I won't have any on the road. I'm going to be a lonely . man. , Bell will likely not play for the next .two weeks after a . Thunday MRI revealed a strained groin. He said criticism ; following his remarks has been unfair. , "Everything has kind of gotten out blown out of proportion," he said of comments earlier this week.

"They gave us a year's per'mission, then we might have to take it out." Artificial turf was necessary so the Bengals could share the field, which was reconfigured for football by moving the lowest level of stands. Still, commissi6ner Bowie Kuhn wondered whether Riverfront was taking it too' far. He showed up before the opening game on June 30, 1970, went up into the stands and saw for himself. "I .was worried about how it was going to play or how we were going to adapt to it." In another Riverfront oddity, the outfield wall later included metric measurements, along with the distance in feet, informing fans that a drive to dead center would have to carry 123 .13 meters. From the day it opened, Riverfront served as one of baseball's best stages . Hank Aaron hit the first homer in the opener, an 8- 2 Braves win that immediately gave the stadium a big-league profile. Two weeks later, Rose bowled over Cleveland catcher Ray Fosse at home plate for one of the most replayed finish es in All- Star game history. The big moments kept coming: • Baltimore's Brooks Robinson stole away one hit after another in the 1970 World Series. • Aaron tied Babe Ruth's home run record with No. 714 on opening day 1974. • With. speedy second baseman Joe Morgan having MVP years on the turf, the Reds won back-tohack World Series tides in 197576. • Rose got hit No. 3,000 and Tom Seaver pitched his only nohitter in 1978. • Johnny Bench homered in his final home game before retir ing in 1983. • .Rose broke Ty Cobb's hit record with No. 4,192 in 1985 . • Tom Browning pitched a perfect game in 1988. • Rose, as manager, accepted a lifetime ban in 1989 for gambling. • Home plate umpire Jol:m McSherry collapsed and died on opening day 1996. • Ken Griffey Jr. returned to his hometown in 2000.. The final highlight will come on Sept. 22, when the Reds play the last game there against Philadelphia. Soon, it will become parking space for . Great American Ball Park, which is under construction just beyond the outfield wall .

Even the big black one that seemed to hang over the Indians at Chain 0' Lakes Park for the past few weeks finally blew away - for the moment anyway. This has been an especially rough spring training camp for the Indians, who already have endured a season's worth of injuries, surgeries, setbacks and bad luck.

He had a strong start.in his comeback from two shoulder surgeries, but is back in California after experiencing tightness during a minor league game. He'll begin the season on the disabled list, and his career could be in jeopardy. • Pitcher Jake Westbrook. He might have been the club's long reliever, but he had elbow surgery. • Shortstop John McDonald. This was to be the slick-lidding Zl-yearolds big chance, but he had an emergency appendectomy and missed three weeks. His loss was compounded by utilityman Jalbert Cabt= being out while recovering fiom a gunshot wound sustained in a c:arjacking in · Colombia. • Bullpen coach Luis Isaac. He had to be rushed to the hospital fur intestinal surgery. • Steve Lubratich, the clubs director of player personnel.

Travis Fryman, Mike Lansing, Einar Diaz, Jim Thome and C.C. Sabathia are just some of the Indians who have missed time for minor bumps and bruises. Outfielder Milton Bradley is the latest casualty. He .was scratched fiom Thursday's game with tendinitis in his right knee and will miss a few d:ays.

Montreal Expos' colorful 'history nearing an end BY TOM CollEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MONTREAL (AP) Gary Carter can still sing the French-language version of the Canadian national anthem, each syllable properly accented, from seeing the words on the scoreboard game after game for 10 seasons. He remembers the Montreal public address announcer's introduction of"le receveur des Expos;•or"Expos catcher," and the frigid weather at the start and end of each season. Then th'ere were the constant border crossings and dealing with Canadian currency, or ufunny money" as the players called it. "Yeah, you definitely had to accept change," he said of playing for major league baseball's first foreign team. · ..J Even more change is imminent for the Expos, the sports orphans of 2002, who are playing under league ownership before an expected move to a U.S. city or even contractionthe owners' term for liquidation at the end of their 34th season. Born in 1969 as major league baseball expanded outside U.S. borders for the first time, the franchise has claimed its place as one of the game's colorful stepchildren known for developing great players who never were able to bring a championship to the French-speaking fans. Carter is one of several all-time greats who once wore the bleu, blanc et rouge of the Expos, including the 1 wacky three-color hats of the early years. Other Expos stars include Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Larry Walker, Pedro Martinez and Tim Wallach, a brief stint by all-time hit leader Pete Rose, and Le Grand Orange himself, Rusty Staub. Nothing ~ ever normal with the Montreal franchise, at least from an American baseball perspective. . The first home was Jarry Park, a 35,000-seat stadium that created intimacy with the fans ' but lacked the adornment5 of a major league facility. In the early years, Staub recalled in a telephone interview, ·it was "a place to look and be seen." "Many times,' there would be cheering going on in the stands. The pitcher would have to step ofT because he di~n't understand what was happening;• Staub said. "B1ut all the guys that played there understood. It meant some girl in a micro mini was walking down the walkway and sh.~ was getting a standing ovation" . ; I EXPQS ADIEU -This Is a Nov. 6, 2001 photo showing Olympic Stadium In Montreal. Change Is Imminent for the Expos, the sports orphans of 2002, who are playlng under league ownership before an expected move to a U.S. city or elimination at the end of their 34th season. (AP file) The fans that regularly filled Jarry Park created something special, he said, such as the man who danced in the aisles to stimulate cheering every sixth inning. "Somebody had a dog he bought a season ticket for- I mean stuff like that," Staub said. "There was a lot of love in that ballpark." Carter remembered some of the problems: the clubhouse was down the left field line, requiring players to · walk behind the stands to get to the dugout. A prevailing wind toward right field created "a left-handed hitter's paradise," with the right-handed Carter becoming "a pretty good opposite-field hitter there." When the sun was setting, it dropped behind third base, blinding the first baseman as he looked for the ball from the far side of the infield. "That's how bad that · facility was set up, because guys couldn't.see the throw coming," Carter said by telephone from Florida. Overall, he said, "there just wasn't that much excitement" for baseball in hockey-mad Quebec. There ill no lack of baseball history in Montreal, where Jackie Robinson began his climb to the big leagues and history with an International League stint on the Royals. Rose got his 4,000th hit there, and it always will be where the major leagues first put down foreign root5. Th!'Ough the years, though, the Expos became a peren9ial pisappointment, known for approaching the but never grasring National League pennant, and giving up young stars. When the other Canadian franchise in rival Toronto won consecutive World Series championships in the early 1990s, Expos fans finally began giving up. The S34 million payroll last season. was not much more than some players on other teams make in a season, showing the Expos' inability to sign major stars and compete on the field. Forbes magazine estimated in March 2001 that the franchise was worth $92 million, last in the majors, compared with $635 million for the New York Yankees. Average attendance in 2001 was 7,648 in OlymP,ic Stadium, which was built for t!te 1976 Montreal Games and then adapted for baseball. A lack of intimacy and some famous problems, such as ~ retractable roof that failed to work for years, earned it nicknames such as the "Toilet Bowl." · "That place should be implod~d once they send the team elsewhere," said Carter, who played twa seasons in Jarry Park and then eight in Olympic Stadium before being traded to the Mets. While the facilities were lacking, fan devotion remained passionate and steady until the final years. Staub and Carter spoke oflearning French to be able to communicate with fans and tit in the community. "I think that was something that meant a great deal to all the people in Quebec," Staub said. "We had a lot of fans that were young French Canadians and ... I wanted-to at least be able to do some basic conversation to help the game." The downside was playing in a small media market, in a ,!foreign country no less, that harmed players' exposure, Carter believes. He, has failed to make the Hall of Fame, and said the years in Montreal "had to have played a significant part." "They just don't get the media coverage there," Carter said. i fans can look forw.m:l to w:atching a new crop of promising prospects.

' J . Preview • Southeastern Ohio no stranger to invasion We bere in southeastern Ohio are no stnngen to invaders - inv2ding plants and animals, that is. While Confede11te Gener:al John Hunt Morgan may be the most famous invader, other, non-human raiders have literally become an everyday part of the landscape. lnv:uive plants and aninials, sometimes called exotic species, are ihtroduced into 1iabitats where they are not native. Once in a new habitat, and freed fiom their usual predators and competitors, they often overrun ~eir new homes and crowd out inaoductions have been the work of humans. Some were brought in intentionally, like Multiflora Rose, Carp, and Asian Lady Beedes, others, like Zebra Mussels, Fire Anu and GY(>SY Moths, were accidentally carried in on animals, ships and produce. But regardleu of how they were carried in, we're surrounded by them: Japanese Honeysuclde, Starlings arid House Sparrows, Norway Rats, House Mice, and yes, even House Cats.

In most instances, exotic species Now, through natural migration or . Jim Freeman J.N THE OPEN stocking, those animals have returned. One of my least-favorite "alien invaders" is the so-called Tree-ofHeaven, also known as ailanthus, Chinese sumac, and stinking sumac, which seems to have established itself in several places around my home. I think it should be called the Tree-ofHell. Here's a brief description: Ailanthus has smooth stems with pale gray bark, and twigs which are light chestnut brown, especially in the dormant season. Its large compound leaves, one-to-four feet in length, are composed of 11-25 smaller leaflets and alternate along the stems. The blasted things con reach 80 feet or more in height. To add insult to injury, ailanthus is what I consider to be a "trash tree." Its wood' is soft, weak, coarsegrained, and creamy white to light brown in color. Even worse, all parts of the tree, especially the flowers, have a strong, offensive odor, which some have likened to peanuts or cashews. Tree-of-Heaven, which is now found in 42 states, is a prolific seed producer, grows rapidly, and con overrun native vegetation. Once established, it can quickly take over a site and form an impenetrable, stinky thicket. Ailanthus trees .also produce toxins that prevent the establishment of other plant species. As far as I can tell, it has no redeeming qualities and provides no value to wildlife. How can you tight back against these persistent invaders? It takes a lot of hard work, and make no mistake, your fields, woods, and even backy:u:ds, are part of the battleground. Boaters and fisherman can hdp prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species like Zebra Mussels, Spiny Water Aeas, Curly-leaf Pondweed and Purple Loosestrife. Many of these species are accidentally spread fiom lake to lake by anglers. Inspect your boat, trailer and boating equipment and remove any plant5 and animals before leaving any WlltetbOdy. Also, drain water from the motor, livewell, bilge, and transom while on land. Never release live bait or animals from one waterbody into another; instead, empty your bait bucket onto land. Clean your boat carefully. and let it and other equipment dry for at least five days. Introducing. ~pecies, accidentally or intentionally, from one habitat to another, is risky business. Once established, exotics can rarely be eliminated. Jim FreettUJu is wildlife speciillistlwaterslred CO<Wdinator for the Meigs Soil and Water Consernztion District.

(AP) The fOrest is cloaked in mist, a .chilling gray that drifts through the mossy tangle of limbs. It is barely d:awn, but Ronald . .Yechout is wide awake, recountlng the day he stumbled across the Fall Creek salmon massacre. "Here," says Yechout, striding llcross a narrow bridge.

"The river was full offish, Qbsolutely mwling with them;' ~e says. ~ Yechout (pronounced )'EK~t) was delighted. But then he heard thwlks and thwacks coming from the nearby fish hatchery; Walking over, he found hatchery \Wl'kers with baseball bats: clubbing thousands of salmon to death. · What's going on? he asked.

In the Northwest, total salmon numbers are still a fi:action ofhistoric levels, e\'lm when hatchery fish are counted, but hatcheries h:M: been credited with stopping or reversing the decline in many areas. While this has given fishermen something to catch, concern has grown that hatchery salmon are · yet another deadly stress for wild salmon, which have continued to dwindle. . After months of being fed and pror.ected from predators,' young hatchery fish can be three times bigger than wild salmon when released, posing stiff competition fur fuod. Crowd. of hatchery fish can attract predators, which then gladly dewur the wild fish, too. ''The hatchery$ call is that we can cin:umvent nature and still have our fish:' says Bill Bakke, rounder of the Native Fish Society in Oregon and a critic of hatcheries. "The big 'but' is that you can't replace the natural ecosystem with industrial technology. Nature's goal is survival. Our goal is to produce a commodity." . A hatchery fish, he contends, is more fann animal than wild creature. From the beginning, hatchery managers couldn't resist the temptation to tweak their wild stock in pursuit of better fish. They trucked eggs hundreds of miles from one river to another. They collected eggs from only the biggest, or the brightest-colored, or the earliest-retuming adults. Such practices are frowned upon now, but Bakke says that even the most conscientious hatcheries still steer salmon fiom their wild state. He cites studies indicating that hatchery salmon are less efficient foragers, less terrioorial, less fearful of predators and less variable in size and shape. Some tend to seek food near the surface, waiting for pellets to fall from the sky as they did in the hatchery. "Scientists have a name for it domestication selection;' Bakke says. "A hatchery will always change your salmon population so it doesn't do as well in a natural environment" ••• These are not new concerns. Over the past two decades, govemment biologists h:M: reached consensus that naturally spawning stocks are essenti.al to the salmon's survival, regardless of how hatchery tish are faring. Since 1994, the federal goverrunent has listed 26 populations ofWest Coast salmon and steelhead as endangered or threatened. Coho salmon along the Oregon coast - the species produced at Fall Creek- were declared threatened in 1998, despite a vigorous hatchery pro- - Nobody wished ill for the fish. The five species of Pacific !almon and their cousin, the steelhead, were a vital part of !he economy.Yet there was no political will to stop development or are.tfishing, $0 Northwesterners staked their hopes on hatcheries, which promised to restore the lost abundance with no need to ·preserve habitat. , Hatcheries were supp~ to take advantage of salmon's nomadic life cycle, keeping i:hem safe from predators as eggs and young fish, then letting them fend for themselves during their migration to the sea and back. . · Oregon's first salmon hatchery was built in 1877, and many others followed For decades, however,few of them worked.It.

That's when Yechout, a bank manager in nearby Philomath, entered the scene. Appalled at the killing ofwhat he considered a tine run. ofsalmon, he returned within the region's salmon~overy effort. After the judge's order, logging quickly resumed where it had been blocked by protections fur the coho, only to be stopped again in December when environmentllists appealing Hogan's decision got a temporary stay.

It's of particular interest to area residents because it was written by Mel Helitzer; a journalism professor at Ohio University, has an all-Ohio talent lineup, with many of the cast members being OU alumni. . Helitzer has been a writer all of his life. He had a tOminute conversation with Jackie over 40 years ago, and it left such an impression that some years later he wrote the musical. "Oh Jackie!" has been in development at Ohio University for the last several years, and has had five Ohio workshop productions in Cincinnati, Zanesville, Chillicothe, Portsmouth and Columbus. Plans are to tour the musical nationally next fall . Helitzer has lots of accomplishments to his credit. For OU alum, he is probably best remembered for the comedy classes he's taught there many years.

If you're dealing with an issue where there is some uncertainty, assume at least a 20 percent chance that you're wrong. Even if you are fairly certain that you're not.

A recent visit confirms that the food scene of"La SereniJsima," as the city is fondly known, is right up there with its spectacular waterside palazzi, domes, murals and paintings. . One of the top hotels from most points of view is the Cipriani -with its attendant gastronomic glory. It offers sybaritic lunches . by the Olympic-sized pool (the only pool in Venice); a main restaurant serving diet-wrecking dinners; and a clubby little place facing San Marco (St. Mark's) over the water, where you can eat wonderful pizza fiom a charcoal oven or the classic Venetian-style calf's liver. The food is as delicious as the decor. At a poolside lunch, there were scampi crostini (crunchy-fried tiny shrimp) with arugula salad, a daily accompaniment in Venice.

Em1tt Ave., Ste. 3, (704) 941-4525 What a difference six months can make. Particularly when it comes to the stock market and investing after a tragedy has happened. · Look back 40 years at the performance of the S&P 500 and you'll find that six months after a major tragedy the investment news is typically pretty good. For instance, six months after President Kennedy was assas~ sinated on Nov. 22, 1963, the S & P 500 had moved up more than 11 percent; six months after Iraq invaded Kuwait; on Aug. 2, 1990, it was up nearly 16 percent; and six months after the World Trade Center was bombed, on Feb 26, 1993, it was up more than 6 percent, according to Ibbotson Associates, a Chicago-based investment research company. So how have things fared since the Sept. 11th tragedy? W.hile our hearts are not likely to heal for some time, the market has made strong strides forwards. Because Ibbotson doesn't track the matket on a daily basis, (they track it on a monthly basis), let's look at how the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ have performed. As of March 11 ; the Dow Jones Industrial Average had gained nearly 30 percent after reoperting on Sept. 21, 2001. Over that same six" month time frame following Sept. 11th,. the NASDAQ moved ahead about 36 percent.

Varnadoe added the success of the park has .prompted county officials to examine a site in Great Bend as a possible location for a · second industrial park. "American Electric Power (AEP) possesses BOO acres of flat land near Great Bend that is out of the flood plain, near a major highway and five minutes from Interstate 77 in Ravenswood, W.Va.," said Varnadoe. "AEP purchased the property in the early 1990s as a possible site for a power plant, however, we recently learned those plans have fallen through," he added. "Considering the · success of the first industrial park, the county is very interested in acquiring this property for the construction of a second." Need a career change? Are you in a boring, deadend job with no chance for Do you advancement? despise going to work everyday? Do you wish you had gone to college alter high school and earned your degree? It's not too late and you are never too old to get that degree and turn your career around. · It may surprise you · to learn that nearly 41 percent of today's total college undergraduate students are adults. Adult students are · returning to higher educa-. tion to refine and improve their skills to meet the employment needs of the new high tech economy. In fact, according · to a · recent report, it is estimated that 65 percent of all jobs now require an associate degree or advanced training and another 20 percent require a four-year college degree.This tells us that only 15 percent of jobs are available to individuals without at least an associate degree or some form of advanced training (excellent reasons to return to college). Also, people who have some type of college degree are less likely to become unemployed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average national unemployment rate for individuals with less than a high school diploma is 7.1 percent, this percentage decreases to 2.5 percent with an associate degree and to 1. 9 percent with a bachelor's degree. ,Understanding the family hardship created by imemployment is a significant influence on an adult's deci. sion to return to college and change careers. For example, in our local area, careers that have been prominent for years, such as coal mining are now dis,appearing from our economy. This is forcing career changes on many of our friends and neighbors. Many are cho·osing to learn new Luanne Bowman GUEST VIEW skills and enhance their career opportumttes by obtaining a college degree. With so many adult students on campus, this means that you won't be the only adult in the class with a bunch of rowdy, · 18-yearolds. A significant portion of your classmates will be adults similar to you, with outside family responsibilities. A lot of these adults form informal support groups to help each other cope with the stress and responsibilities both inside and outside the classroom. It may also surprise you to know that I have seen many instances in class where adult students and traditional college students help each other grow and learn in ways that neither imagined were possible. Just as with traditional students, financial aid is available to those adult students · who quality. This is important for adults who are trying to figure out how college impacts the family finances . Classes are offered in the morning, afternoon, evening and even on the weekends to meet the needs of a diverse student population . Classes are also offered at remote · sites, thus possibly eliminating or reducing time spent co mmuting to class . Another interesting option is classes that are offered over the Internet. This allows students to complete classes with minimal requited classroom time, and at a time convenient for ihe student. In other words, you can PIHMIHIIowlllan,DI ,, 'I '• �' Page 02 • 6unb4!'

Real Estate General I AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) -The U.S. Air Force Academy has stepped up drug testing and is putting more classroom emphasis on ethics amid the biggest drug scandal in the school's 47-year history. · Thirty-eight cadets out of 4,300 have been implicated in the scandal that began in December 2oo0. . In addition, six cadets have . been charged or convicted of' crime$ such as larceny and sodomy, including the former president of the . class of 2003, who is accused of stealing $9,000 from a class activity fund. Academy officials have no simple explanation for the rash of crime, which has extended into this month with the arrest of a student on charges of raping a female cadet. "We rely on the American people to send us their be$t. Every now and then we don't get the right people;' said Col. Mark Hyatt, director of the Academy Center for Character Development, a department at the school that concentrates on everything from dinner-party manners to battlefield ethics. The drug scandal involving mainly the use of Ecstasy and marijuana - is the biggest problem for the academy since 105 cadets ~~ q{ Q/,d ~ * 446•6 806. I ! 22, 2•, 25, 28;, 27,2002 accused of cheating resigned in 1965. In the past 10 years, there had been only one other drug case at the acade.my, spokesman Lt. Col. Perry Nouis said, adding that officials believe the problem is now under control. Because of the scandal, the academy has made it clear that an admission of even one putT on a marijuana cigarette will result in expulsion and possibly imprisonment, Hyatt said. "We have to do thing. right or people die. When I come out of Baghdad and I am out of the fuel, I am 'trusting that tanker pilot will be there," Hyatt . said. "Because of what happened, we are not going to look the other way." Also, academy officials increased random drug tests in which cadets are summoned to the clinic and told to urinate into a cup. The academy is also considering state-of-the-art DNA testing of hair follicles, which scientists say can detect some drugs up to 90 days after their use. In addition, the academy is working ethics lessons into courses across the curriculum - even in chemistry class.

Twenty-one others have left the academy; some of those are being forced to repay the government for their tuition, while others must serve in the Air Force in the enlisted ranks and not . as officers. ' Nine others received punishments ranging from loss of privileges to fines. The investigation began .after a cadet tested positive for drug use. The academy said all of the drug use occurred off-campus at parties. One cadet was accused of drug dealing; the rest were accused of using drug. or mowing about such use but keeping silent. "Initially, a lot ·of people were shocked. Then people got angry. Then because of . the trust issue they felt a little bit betrayed," cadet Theron Mink, who heads the cadet honor committee, which metes out punishment for honor code violations that fall short of a crime.

Two money managers for Chapman Capital Management spent $5.1 111illion from the retirement fi.tnd to buy 395,000 shares of eChapman.com when it was first sold to outside investors, according to state records obtained by The Baltimore Sun. The stock sold for $13 a share at the tinie; it is now worth 17 cents a share. The June 2000 purchase represented nearly a third of eChapman.com's ¥.26 million shares on the market. The initial public offering raised $16.4 million for the company, records shllw. The state pension board fired the firm in January after learning that the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating the stock purchase. The company managed about $175 million of the state's $27 billion in assets. Nathan Chapman Jr., Chapman Capital's chief executive, said m~agers he hired had been using state pension money to buy his companies' stock since 1998 and that pension system officials knew about the investments. "I discussed the position with clients at ·· various times - including the state of Maryland retirement system - and no client ever had an issue with it," Chapman said. Chapman, who is also chairman of the University System of Maryland board of regents, owned up to 65 percent of eChapman.com before the !PO. The state pension board took control of the shares in February and began selling some of them. However, Maryland Comptroller William Donald Schaefer said he is reluctant to sell while the price k so low. · One investment expert said he doubts the state will recoup much of its investment. "I hate to say something about a company's fi.tture, but it's going to have to do marvels to get back to the offering" price, said Michael Falbo of Los Angelesbased' IPOPros.com.
