The story revolves · around Fletcher Randall, son of a rich Southern planter and owner of over a hundred slaves.

The reviewer said that relationship led to meetings with some who sought to abolish slavery, and the opening of his eyes to the true brutality and inhumanity ·of the system he had previously accepted.

II contl• nue to suffer By ROBERT WEEDY Things are happening to children today that we never used to even dream about. Around the last week of August a surgeon, Dr. Joseph Bruner, working with a team at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, did an operation on a child 21 weeks old from gestation. Samuel Armas has spina bifida, which left pan of his spinal cord exposed after his backbone failed to develop. The operation was designed to close the gap and protect the cord, the body's motorway for nerve signals to the brain. So, on an unborn patient no bigger than a guinea pig , the operation was perfonned without removing the little one (fetus) from the womb. The instruments had to be specially designed to work in miniature. The sutures used to close the incisions were less than the thickness of a human hair. From the sonogram images during the surgery an amazing picture shows the fingers of the baby gripping the finger of Dr. Bruner. This baby is literally clinging on for life, one of the most remarkable photographs taken in medicine and reconding one of the world's most extraordinary opera!tons. One of the major dangers was turning htm in the womb to get his back in line with an inch-long cut in the wall, through which Dr. Bruner would operate. At one point Dr Bruner could be heard urging his team to keep quiet. ··shh !" he said. "You'll wake the baby!" One would think that such a fascinating event wo~ld get wide coverage in the "news·· media. Quite the opposite is the case. Matt Drudge, Internet columnistffV commen~tor, was refused permission by the Fox News Channel to show the picture. The upset Drudge failed to host his show in mid-November and was warned by Fox that he breached his contract. It was then announced Nov. 18 that Fox News Channel has released Drudge from his contract with the network, by mutual consent. The photo is available on Drudge's web .site (www.drudgereport.com) for those on-line to view. The gross hypocrisy of a few who control what is "news" vividly demonstrates to all the agenda they possess for America. Was that such a scary or revolting picture that was unsuitable for publie consumption? Or would it blow the cover from the myth that "this is just a glob of tissue"? Just how stupid do they think most Americans are to believe that the developing child all of a sudden in the 266th day develops hands, head, legs and feet? Honest folks working in the field know that by the end of the second month all is now fanned, and until adulthood the changes in body will be primanly in dimension and in the refinement of working pans. The boy or girl now growing truly looks like a tiny baby and a very real little person. The unborn child at thi s stage is tenned a fetus, which is Latin for "y oung one" or "offspring." This unborn child has been able to expenence pain from at least the etghth week, Since the brain has developed to allow independent movement of limbs, the tiny infant can tum his/her head, curl and fan toes and open and close the mouth. If a palm is stroked, the fetus will make a tight fi st. Without questton thts ts a Jiving human bei ng . Events that directly affect children also make an impact upon adults. The arrogance of one class of people, adults, deciding that another class of people. the unborn, are not persons and thus protected by the U.S. Constitution does violence to thousands daily. This arrogance also leads prominent people, who are elected, to lose any sense of logic. Witness the recent debate on banning panial-birth aborlion on the U.S. Senate floor between Rich Santorum of Pennsylvania and Barbara Boxer of California: Santorum: "So you would accept the fact that once the baby is separated from the mother, that baby cannot be killed?" Boxer: "I wouid suppon the right -And what defines separation?..:' Santorum: "What we are talking . about here with partial birth, as the senato~ from California knows. is a baby in the process of being born" Boxer: "'The process of being born'. This is why this conversation makes no sense, because to me it is obvious when a baby is born . To you it isn't obvious." -Santorum: ··Maybe you can make it obvious to me. So what you are suggesting is if the baby's foot is still inside of the"mother, that baby can then still be ktlled." Boxer: "No, I am not suggesting that in any way'" Santorum: "OK. So if the baby's toe is in, you can't kill the baby. Howabout if the baby's foot is in?" Boxer: "You are the one making these statements." SaRtorum: "We are trying to draw a line here." Boxer: ·· 1am not answe ring these questions! I am not answering these questions. " Adult ambivalence is hardly hon. orable when you are a U.S. Senatof. Give a fourth-grader the same evi~ dence and there will be no questioR about this being a baby. Man's inhu: ·manity to man ts clearly evident in the arrogance and violence against the most innocent among us. If we accept this as a constitutional right. why should we be upset with other forms of arrogance and violence such as road rage or rape? Are these not expressions of mefirst egotism... umy" importance, "my" preferences, "my" desires over that of others and responding in a violent manner? We all know why the picture of the inutero surgery was banned. It would not fit the agenda of the media elite and just might give some compassion to the powers that be in this country. Until then. America's children will continue to suffer. (Robert Weedy Ia a columnist for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.) Here's an idea: give credit to the winner. By CHRIS MATTHEWS WASHINGTON _ Two months from now, New Hampshire voters once again get first pick of the presidential candidates. The rest of us will once again be asked to watch what happens Feb. I, then wait our lowly turns when that same batch of fussed-over suits arrives at our local Filene's Basement. The problem with thts system is that not all the candidates get markeddown_ or marked-up _ fairly. Our favorite wins in New Hampshire only to have it intoned by the media that he "failed to meet expectations." By the time our primary comes around - in California on March 7, for example _he's lost his electoral market value. Rather than play this unfair game once more, let me suggest a new political pricing system: The guy who wins New Hampshire's "first in the nation " primary gels credit for winning. Let me present the case for this provocative new score keeping. Arizona senator John McCain now leads Texas governor George W. Bush 37 percent to 35 percent 10 the CNNmme poll. That positions Bush, the heavy favorite in national polls, as the local underdog. It marks McCain, the underdog in nation-wide surveys, as the slight favorite in New Hampshire. So if Bush wins, let's agree that he didn't "finish first as expected," did, n't " narrowly escape emliar.tassnlent,"butthathequitesimply won the darri thing. · RACINE - Gladys Mae Shtelds, 91 , Elm Street, Racine. died Saturday, Dec. 4. 1999 in the extended care unit of Veterans Memonal Hospttal. .

The lost firefighters ranged in age from 30 to 50, and had served as firefighters from three years to more than 25 years, Dio said. As firefighters battled the flames , a steady stream of people came by the scene to see if family or friends were among the mi ssing. Among them was Kathy Perry, sister of uninjured district fire chief McNamee. "I keep thinking, there are mothers or wives out there thinking, 'Is it my husband, is it my son?"' Perry said.

He said investigators were working with the Mexican Consulate to identify the occupants. The Mexican Consulate did not tmmediately return a telephone message left at its Albuquerque office by The Associated Press. The crash occ urred about 2 am. on straight stretch of Interstate 40, about 3S miles cast of Albuquerque .

The president funher refined what it means to succeed in welfare reform, saying next year's contest also will reward states that get medical benefits and food stamps to lowincome families . He said states will be rewarded, too, when more children live in two-parent families. In his weekly radio addJess, Clinton again trumpeted tumbling welfare rolls, announcing that the number ot people collecting monthly checks is now less than half that of 1994. Fewer than 6.9 million people - about 2.5 million famili es- collected aid in June. The welfare bonus contest, created by th~ 1996 welfare overhaul. rewards states that move the most welfare recipients into jobs, whether or not they leave the system 's rolls. Stales also arc rewarded when client s kept jobs for at least three mont h; and receive higher wages. "Most of the people who get jobs are keeping them .

Each wmner·s share of the $200 milhon this year is determined by the size of the state's annual we lfare appropnalton from Washington . The money is added to other welfare fu nds and is subject to the same restnctwns None of the bonus money can be used to cut taxes or build stadiums, for instance, but can pav for child~are or vans to take people to jobs. The amount given to each slate was not immediately-available. But wtth 27 wmners, the average bonus will be about $7.4 million. The awards range from $500,000 for South Dakota to $45 million for California. The money goes to the top I 0 states in four categories, based on data from 1998. Indiana was No. I in placi ng the most people into jobs. Minnesota had the most people keep jobs and increase earnings, called "job success." Washmgton state had the most improvement m job placement from 1997 to 1998. Florida showed the most improvement in job success . State repons show that nationally, 1.3 million people on welfare went to work in 1998, with 80 percent still working three months later. On average, quarterl y wages increased from $2,088 to $2,57 1, still short of the poveny line but more than they were getting from welfare. These families also are eligible for the earned income tax credit that helps millions of working f!lmilies move out of poverty. , Backers of the new welfare rule s, whtch requtre rcctpients to work and limit the time people can collect assistance. have pointed to fallin g welfare rolls as proof of the new law 's success. Opponents fear many of the people leaving welfare may be slipping through the cracks and getting nothing. . The contest rules were the admtnistration 's attempt to define success as moving into jobs and succeeding in them. Many states with large caseload declines did not win the bonus. Of the 20 states with the biggest caseload declines in 1998, just nine were bonus winners. Some of the states with large declines over the past several years, such as Wisconsin, failed to win. That may be panly because some of these states already had large drops in earlier years, meaning the "population being measured in 1998 was disproportionately disadvantaged. Also, states like Wisconsin brag that their programs try to help fami lies avoid welfare m the first place, meaning those most likely to work were not in the pool to begin with.

The camp, at a recent meeting, passed a resolution charging that the corps showed "inappropriate bias and violation of federal regulations in granting a permit." According to a report from the group, the members unanimously voted to ask U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland and U.S. Sen. Michael DeWine to support the action, along with U.S . Sen. Robert Byrd and U.S. Sen. John D. Rockefeller of West Virginia, both of whom have shown interest in preserving the battlefield. ll was decided that no request will be made of Sen. George Voinovich, who has not expressed support for the preservation efforts. In celebration of President Lincoln's ftrst declaration of Thanksgiv ing as a national holiday and the "Gettysburg Address" anniversary, Robert Erwin of Jackson , a Lincoln Impersonator, was given a military escort and introduced after the playing of "Hail to the Chier' on Civil War fife. He then entertained the 25 members and guests ·with a ftrst person impression of Abraham Lincoln, talking about the presidency, of instituting the position of lieutenant general given to Ulysses S.

"There is nothing to negotiate, there is nothing to discuss in any court or any other forum, " Ricardo Alarcon said in an interview on government-controlled television. "No one can question that a father is the person who has the right to his minor children." The boy, Eliari Gonzalez, was found on Thanksgiving Day, clinging to an inner tube in the waters off Fort Lauderdale. Two other people also were rescued, but 10 people died including Elian's mother and stepfather- in the deadly boating accident that U.S. authorities called a case of illegal immigrant smuggling. The child's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, 31, has demanded that his son be returned to Cuba and has asked the Cuban Foreig.n Ministry to help. U.S . authorities have turned the child over to his paternal great-aunt and great-uncle in Miami and have said that the case is for the Florida state co~rts. Cuban authorities say they do not trust the judges to be impartial in · Florida, home to a large anti-communist Cuban exile community. Alarcon called the boy's case "a crime of kidnapping.''

Rocheville and Longworth, who is on death row, had both worked for the chain that owned the theater.

A short time later, Rocheville and Lorlgwonh allegedly forced Green to open a safe and stole · about $3,000.

The spacecraft was to capture the sounds of Mars, analyze the atmosphere and gather samples of the frosty soil, searching for signs of water and other conditions necessary for life. . The Polar Lander was at the end of an 11-month journey to Mars. It was supposed to cut tluough Mars' atmosphere at precisely the right angle, separate from its heal shield, deploy a parac~ute and fire a dozen thl"usters before setting down. The spacecraft was programmed to slow from 15,400 mph to 5 mph just before touchdown, which was to have been at 12:01 p.m. PST on Friday. If everything had worlced perfectly, the signal confirming touchdown would have arrived back at Earth at 12:39 p.m. · Instead, scientists and engineers at JPL stood around or sat looking at computer screens as crowds of oth~r officials looked on worriedly. The Polar Lander, 3-1/2 f~t tall and 12 feet wide, was to set down in a never-explored region close to the south pole, where the average temperature is expected to be minus-73 degrees . Little is known aBout the region, especially the consistency of the soiL . "It could be the stuff we're sitting on could be quite soft- it could be like baby powder," said David Crisp, a mission scientist. "It could very well be that the lander landed and just broke through the crust at the top and resettled." Two microprobes called Deep Space 2 also rode to Mars with the lander and were to slam into the planet at 400 mph in a test of untried technologies. N.o signals from those probes were heard, either. ,.. Dockers Eng. Comp. I "'llng. Comp II 228 Human Physiology 315 Group Comm 103 (Inter) Twentieth Con World 282 Int.

Mtsston controllers had no contact Friday with the lander after it began 1ts fiery descent toward Mars - raising worries that the craft might become the se~ond embarrassing failure for a NASA project in recent months. Sctentists remamed cautiou.s - but co)lfident of eventual success. "I think we h~ve ~ long way to go before we stan being concerned," spa~ecr~ft operations manager Richard Cook said late Friday, after the day s wmdows to hear from the lander had passed. He described his mood as "upbeat." Still, the first signals were supposed to arrive at 12:39 p.m. PST Friday, 31:1 mmutes after the craft landed. Another contact opportunity opened at 2:~ P-~· but al~o closed uneventfully. . Fnday ,s final w_mdow passed at 9:30p.m., again with no cheers inside the lander s operatiOns center at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lal,>oratory. Engineers were to try again Saturday night and Sunday. . The loss of Polar Lander after an 1I-month journey would be espectally d1fficult. for NASA and JPL, which less than three months ago .lost the spacecraft s stbhng probe, the $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter as it started to circle the Red Planet. ''' The orb!te~'s loss was blamed on an embarrassing failure to convert data l~to metrtc umts for a key navigation file, and some observers wondered tf the space agency is capable of exploring the heavens with tight budgets and reduced staff. · Even before the lander began its descent, mission managers had ~arned that contact might not be established on the first, second or third tries. They stressed that it did not necessarily mean something catastrophi~ happened 157 million milenway. ·. , The antenna could be mispointed or an unfamiliar condition could have caused its computer to enter fault mode - two possibilities that siiould not tmmedtately be dismissed, engineers said. ·-· "We identified that this was a possibility before landing and ,went through a long effort to design a series of steps," Cook said. "And we 're just barely into this." But mission controllers can't say for sure thai the spacecraft was not destro~ed during the risky entry, descent and landing maneuvers. It also ts posstble that the probe landed 31 the wrong angle or even sank into the ground near the Martian south pole. ' "The likelihood of a major problem?

Heading mto play th1s weekend, Kolcun was Rio Grllllde's number two scorer, averaging I2.3 points per game. and was leading the Redwomen, and the Amencan Mideast Conference, in three-point field goal percentage, shooting 55.2 percent from outside the arc. The talented s·en,·or's ,,·neon the Redwomen's stat sheet includes 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Additionally, she is shooting 58.9 percent from the field overall and has made all four free throws she's attempted so far. No wonder Rio Grande 1s 6: I and riding a six-game winning streak. Slats, however, are JUSt the t1p of iceberg for admission into the AC Sports Hall of Fame. Not just anybody with big numbers enters the hall. And stats are certainly just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Kolcun and what she has accomplished at Rio Grande. Since graduating from the GalliaAcademy Blue Angel program in 1995, Kolcun has played a major role m R10 Grande's success. At the time Kolcuft jo!ned the Redwomen, the team was fairly thin at the four and five spots, forcmg her mto a role w1th wh1ch she was unfamiliar. Nevertheless, Kolcun made the move to the power forward slot without , complamt and w1th the same dnve and determination that made her a top player at the _prep _level. Though she did not amass big numbers, she pitched m roughly s1x pomts and five rebounds per game along with two or three steals and three asmts per outmg, she provided Rio Grande with a steady force at both ends of the floor. This season, Kolcun has been able to move back to the more familiar sm~ll forward and shooting guard positions and, as the slats bear witness, is thrmng . . ·Kolcun has been a key member of two Red women ball clubs that advanced to the NAJA Di vision I national tournament. If the Red women can advance to the NAJA's big dance this year, she will become the first Redwomen player ever to see action in three national tournaments . .In addition to her prowess on the court, Kolcun has been equally aggres' s1ve m the classroom, where she excels. It has been my distinct privilege to see nearly every Redwomen game ov.er the prev10us four seasoqs and to watch Kolcun carry herself with honor a~d d1gmty on the floor: To see her lead by example and to give 100 percent of herself, both rn pract1ce and in games.

"Life is a balance of things," commented Collins, "and we need to trust the wisdom. of joy, li~t taking either the good days or the p.ad days • too seriously. ' . Money - never enough for most families - is a big concern; and Becky Baer, Meigs Extension agent, gave tips on bow to redu~ the cost of Christmas and enter th~, new year with manageable debt. She said a recent survey showed that one third of Americans overspend during the Christmas season, that one in seven is still paying in )une, and that one-foutlh do not even know when they will get their holiday bills paid. The stress this creates and the year" when wrapping papo:r is marked down after Christmas. She also proposed "year-round Christmas shopping" as well !IS comparison shopping in season. "Gifts from the heart" was also suggested - such things as treasured pictures to family members, coupons for babysitting or other personal service to neighbors and friends, a tray of homemade cookies and candies, a craft created especially for the recipient. As for food, there are lots of ways to cut the . cost of a dinner. Home preparation is, of course, the least expensive. Did you know that buying that relish or fruit tray instead of making it at home will cost you almost twice as much. Since the closer it gets to Christmas, the more hectic things get, Baer suggested making cookies and other goodies weeks ahead and freezing them. The "battle of the holiday bulge" ·was addressed by Meigs nutritionist Linda King who had several tips on how to win. These included planning ahead by eating lighter on days when you're eating out or going to a party, and limiting yourself to special holiday fare once there. • Remembering that the "first bite tastes the best" King suggested sampling lots of things as a solution to overeating. Staying healthy through the holidays was the emphasis of Martha Davis' comments. The Gallia nutri tion aide cautioned of the danger of decorative dishes which can leach lead into food. "If a bowl is marked ··for decorative use only' don't put food in it." Saving time using "master mixes" was discussed by local nUtri tion educator Sharon Smith. She gave a recipe for a master mix which can be made weeks before the holiday and then used for making cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes and breads. Cindy Oliveri, South Central District specialist, had tips on entertaining with ease - planning ahead, being creative with centerpieces and serving style, and selecting a menu that can be prepared in advance . To be sure surviving the demands of the season while keeping th e magic in Christmas is a chall enge. But remember, th e "magic" is not about elaborate parties or ex pensive gifts, but rather about genuine sharing and caring for each other and acknowledging the reason for the season. Merry Christmas.

For many of the years from 1888 to the 1920s, Gallipolis had twO wharfboats • one at the end of Grape Street and one below the City Park. The photo is. from the colleciton of the Cincinnati Public Library. :.'' :CS. ~o M.P. Wells, Cricket, Tacoma, Greenwood, Valley Belle, and Leroy. Prior to Greene's purchase of the Shepard wharf, most of the Greene boats stopped at the City Wharf below the Public Square. Greene's boats amounted to about half of the wharf fees at the City Wharf. Hence revenues at the City Wharf went down. Eventually Gordon Greene also bought the City Wharf. Briefly Greene ran two wharfboats here. Greene moved the wharfboat on the river between State and Court (City Wharf) to Cincinnati. About 1910 the city moved a new wharf there that was not controlled by Greene. In general ,wharfboats were a part of Gallipolis history from the 1840s until the 1930s. The purpose of the wharfboat was to allow the steamboats to dock in deeper water, thus reducrng the chances of l~e boat getting grounded. The wharfboat also offered shelter for ongoing_ passengers and freight. While the wharfboats were usually owned by private parties, they were heavily taxed by the city, at ~east until the coming to Gallipo- • -LUCAS-PHILLIPS- FAC to offer ..

Shepard had concocted a sprayer to the back of a big water barrel. The tank, that held several hundred gallons of water, was set on a large wagon. Shepard had his workers spray the then all dirt streets daily, thus making shopping more dust free. The mill had a pair of 36 inch millstones which could grind corn, rye. and buckwheat. The capacity of the mill was 150 bushels of corn per day. The mill operated only a few years into the middle 1890 s. It was Shepard' s great dream to build a railroad that would run from Gallipolis to Proctorville, and be called the Indian Guy an Railroad . It was to fund this venture that in 1905 Shepard sold his incline, wharfboat and warehouse to Gordon Greene. When Gordon Greene bought the Shepard incline wharf and ware· house, the Greene Line Company operated at least 12 boats that regularly docked a! Gallipolis. Those boats were: Greenland, Kanawha.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Last Y.cat's Academy Awards were an ode 10 COiitumc pageantry and patriotism :4S two Elizabethan-period pieces ·I!Rd three World War II sagas domi-nated the Oscars. " This year is shaping up as a freefur-all with an assemblage as motley as lhe cast of "The Road Warrior." As last-minute entries prepare to hit theaters and studios pump up the volume on their Oscar buzz machin.es, here 's a samp.ling of eccentnc roles among the worthy wannabes: -A behemoth, childlike Death ·Row in male with magical powers, · ~nd a nice-guy Death Row guard :with a nasty urinary infection. - An ether-loking doctor who runs a combination orphanage-abortion mill, and a fired tobacco executive who smokes out the cigarellc industry on national TV. -A teen-ager in a nul house ., whose neuroses include fear that her :bones will flee her body, and her new best friend, the asylum's resident sociopal h. -A suburban chump with designs on his daughter 's cheerleadi!'g friend, and a couple of flaky moms with hearts of gold. . ' -A tyke who becomes therapist fpr the deceased , and a mule waif with a smile to die for. -A woman whose masquerade as a man ends in violence, and a drag queen who gives singing lessons to a gay-bashing stroke victim. Sounds like a party. . And we haven't even mentioned !he old man who takes a 300-mile road trip on a lawn mower. · For a year that was front-loaded with a lot of high-tech special effects films and raunchy comedy, it's wound up producing a far-flung field of dreamers for the awards show Man:h 26. Nominations will jle announced Feb. 15. · Last year, " Life Is Beautiful," a eomic drama set amid the Holoi:ausl, was the odd film out among a jlest-picture field of two war epics, ·"Saving Private Ryan " and "The Thin Red Line," and " Elizabeth" and " Shakespeare in Love," the winner, : This year's potential nominees are a murkier lot, dealing with sub~rban madness ("American Beauty "), the tobacco industry ("The Insider"), the supernatural (" The sunday, oecembers. 1999 Sixth Sensf'), dead comic Andy Kaufman ("Man on the Moon "), life in the menial ward ("Girl, Interrupted" ), Irish poverty ("Angela's Ashes") and sexual-identity crises (" Boys Don't Cry"). The best-picture prospects include a possible bailie of prison dramas ("The Hurricane" and "The Green Mile"). The acting categories arc so wide open the Academy might consider handing out an award to everyone who shows up. There 's plenty of the usual suspects, past winners and nominees including Susan Sarandon , Tom Hanks, Emily Watson, Denzel Washington and Winona Ryder. Some of the most captivating performances, though, are among the new and notables: - Hilary Swank for her compelling lake on a teen-age woman posing as a man in "Boys Don 't Cry," based on the true life-anddeath story of Teena Brandon. - Haley Joel Osment, who steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" as a · boy who talks with the dead. -Michael Clarke Duncan, best known lo audiences as the massive Bear from "Armageddon," who gives a surprisingly cherubic performance as a simple-minded, mysterious convict awaiting execution in "The Green Mile." -Samantha Morton as Sean Penn's mule, guileless girlfriend in Woody Allen's "Sweet and Lowdown," highlighted by her wallflowerish motions and dazzling facial expressions. -Philip Seymour Hoffman as an endearingly messed-up drag queen giving singing lessons to Robert De Niro, who plays a raging stroke vic. tim. - Angelina Jolie, co-starring opposite Ryder, for her vampiric turn as problem girl No. 1 at a mental institution in " Girl, Interrupted." Before moving on to the major categories, a footnote: the year's two most anticipated movies can sit this one out. "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace" can expect visual-effects and technical nominations and lillie more . Stanley Kubrick's finale, "Eyes Wide Shut," left too many people baffled, though Nicole Kidman may have an outside shot at an acting nomination. And another footnote: last year, "Shakespeare in Love " was on vir- tually no one's Oscar radar scope till it opened in late December. It's anyone guess what gems might catch fire amid the flurry of films opening in the next three weeks to qualify for Academy consideration. BEST PICTURE: "American Beauty," a funny and macabre tale of suburban dementia, was so widely acclaimed that a nomination seems likely. Dillo for " The Insider," a suspenseful look at tobacco whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand, who snitched on his exbosses on ' '60 Minutes." The prison possibles: " The Green Mile," adapted from Stephen King's serialized novel by director Frank Darabont, who also filmed King's "The Shawshank Redemption, " and "The Hurricane," about boxing champion Hurricane Carter, jailed on a trumped-up murder con- Edward Norton another nod . Sentiment might earn a nominalion for 83-year-old Kirk Douglas, who had a stroke in 1996 and who gives a brave performance as a stroke victim in "Diamonds," though it's an otherwise wea k movie. If Academy voters ' notoriously short memories can stretch back to last spring, Charles. S. Dutton may have a shot for "Cookie's Fonune. " Other strong competitors are Denzel Washington, " The Hurricane"; Russell Crowe and AI Pad no, "The Insider"; Robert De Niro, " Flawless"; Ralph Fiennes, "The End of the Affair"; Bob Hoskins, "Felicia's Journey'~·; and Sean Penn, usweet and Lowdown."

For all its bombast, "Fight Club" could land include Wes Benll ey and Chris Cooper for "American Beauty," Christopher Plummer for "The Insider, " Ving Rhames for "Bringing Out lhc Dead" and Max Von Sydow for " Snow Falling on Cedars ." Oscar winner Michael Caine is in the mix as the orphan patriarch and abortionist with a taste · for ether in "The Cider House Rules." The most intriguing prospect is John Malkovich, playing himself or at least a variation· of himself in " Being John Malkovich." SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Besides Jolie and Morton, worthy contestants are Chloe Sevigny for " Boys Don 'I Cry," Thora Birch for " American Beauty," Natalie Pori man for "Anywhere But Here," Catherine Keener for "Being John Malkovich, " Helena Bonham Carter for '' Fight Club " and Patricia Neal for "Cookie 's Fortune," again, with the disclaimer on Academy voters' short memories. A wild card movie for the previous two categories is "Cradle Will Rock ."

In March 1930, Hollywood adopted the Production Code, which prohibited filmmakers from using certain subject matter, including illegal drug use, excessive violence, nudity, profanity and suggestive dancing. But the code wasn't immediately enforced, so some filmmakers ignored it. This book examines the four-year period of "pre-Code" films, illustrated with 275 black; and-white stills.

Before investing, ask these questions of · your mvesbnent executive: ·~ • Is t•e fuod;slnYestment objective in line with my investment g;JS? · You c_an buy the best performing money market or bond fund, but it ~n't do you any good 1f you need growth. Conversely, if you get into a stockJiind thatsuddenly drops 20 percent and can't stand any loss of principal you've obvtously made a big mistake. ' • Is the lu~d too risky for me? . .. :~ . Before buymg a top-performing stock fund, look at how it perforrpc;d in penods when stock pnces fell. Don Phillips, publisher of Morningstar, l;uggests checking the fund's performance in the fourth quarter of 1987 ai!J the th1rd quarter of 1990. That. way, you know what a worst-case scenaril can look hke. }. · • Does the fund have the same investment style as others In my ort· folio? . . Fund analysts say most stock fund investors should own a diversifie<J.Rort· folio that includes large company stock funds, small company stock funds and fore1gn funds. To ensure you don't have too much money riding on one sector of the m:uket, you may want to choose several well-managed, top-performing funds With d1fferent mvestment styles. • How does the fund's record compare to others with similar invest· ment objectives? h's important to compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. For mstance, a particular health care mutual fund may have produced outstandmg results over a fixed period of time, well ahead of the average gain for d1vers1fied U.S. stock-mutual funds. But it is important to evaluate the fund by comparing its record with that of other health-care funds to determine if it is a good choice for your portfolio. • Has !he fund performed consistendy well? We're blowing away the competition with hot-hot-hot deals at this spectacular winter inventory event! ~~~~.-~~~~ Langsville firm nets honor as top dealer for 1999· Consistency of performance over longer periods is very important. Quarterly and annual comparisons are popular, but m,ay not be that meaningful . Different mvestment styles and asset classes can be in or out of favor over shorter time periods. Sometimes, the best performing funds one year end up laggmg the averages the next year. Look for good performance over time. Funds are required to publish th~ir returns for one, five and 10-year ti,mo frames; for newer funds , since inception. • Is the manager re•pon•ible for the record still around? _ When co~sidering a mutual fund for investment, it is important to do your homework l1rst. While a lund's performance is critical, it is equally important to research the lund's management. A particular fund may have a history of above-average performance under a particular manager 's guidance. If the manager IS responsible for this excellent performance is no longer overseemg the fund , the new manager may or may not be using the same management style as his or her predecessor. · · • Have the fu~d's gains come from income or capital gains? If you are a ret~ree looking to tap mutual funds for spending money, you may wam to constder stock funds _that make big income distributions each year. 11us often 1s the case with equity-income funds and growth-and-income funds. Mutual funds are sold with a prospectus, which outlines the fund's-investment objectives and risks, provides background on the fund manager and · details charges and expenses. Please be sure to read the prospectus carefully before mvestmg and keep it for future reference. · After reviewing the prospectus, if you still want more detail, you can request a copy of the fund's Statement of Additional Information. It includes such llems as the fund's audited financial statements, a list of the directors and off1cers of the fund, and anyone who owns five percent or more of the fund's shares. . Contact your investment executive to learn more about mutual fund investmg. or to obtam a prospectus on a fund of interest to you. (K.

AAA tour attended last sing of century (Editor's note: The following was submitted by Lola Breech of the Gallipolis AAA office.) .GALLIPOLIS- On Sept. 16, our motorcoach group headed to Loui sville, Ky., to enjoy the last Nattonal Gospel Quartet Convention of thi s century. We stayed three · nights at the Exec utive Inn, where we could walk to the Louisville Convention Center (Freedom Hall), or we could ride the motorcoach . Thi s gospel si ng is the largest of its kind in the nation. It is so excit· ing, uplifting and rewarding. We had great seating every night for all the si nging celebrations. Befmc the singing began the first night w e were there , we were thrilled wi th a firework display. This year's convention was centered around' the Cathderals '. retirement. Glen Payne, a longtime member of th is gruup, was unable to :mend o ~ he was in the hospital. He called during the evening's performance and sang 10 us from his hospi tal bed. He has since passed away and wlll be greatl y missed. , Some of our traveling gro up went to Freedom Hall each day as there were spec ial eve nts going on throughout the day. Released, a local gospel group, sang and had a great support group there. One or our enjoyable .times was a luncheon cruise on the Star or Louisville.

You ' ll save five grams of fa t for each egg-yolk/eggwhite substitution yo u make. • Reduce the sugar ,called for in cookie and quick-bread recipes by one-founh to one-third. Using threequarters of a cup of sugar instead of a full cup will decrease the calories in the batch by nearly 200.

This is an especially good idea for nut cookies, because wheat 2erm will add a nuttier, crunchier te~ture than you otherwise would get. A cup of wheat germ actually adds about 10 grams of fat to the recipe, but also adds more protein, fiber, manganese , folic acid, thiamin and plenty of other vitamins and minerals. Wheat germ is so nutrient-dense that nutritionists say it 's a good trade-off for the extra fat it contains. • Similarly, honey is more nutri ent-dense than sugar.
