'Beauty and the Beast' at Ariel this weekend GALLIPOLIS The Ariel Jr. Theatre is preparing to return the classic fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast" to the Ariel stage. One of the most beloved fairy tales of all time will be presented by a group of 10 youth actors Feb. 23-25. "Beauty and the Beast" was originally staged at the Ariel in 1991. Joseph Wright, executive director of The Ariel-Dater Hall .says, "It is amazing to see ·how much more advanced our curent production is from the one presented in 1991. Although. in many ways, we still operate on a shoestring budget, we now have much more elaborate settings, an electronic lighting system, special effects, and for this production, beautiful medieval costumes created by Cheryl Enyart." "Beauty and the Beast" is presented under the direction of veteran Ariel Jr. Theatre production director Kim Vanco. Cast members from Gallia and Mason counties have joined forces to bring this production to life. Performances are set for Friday, Feb. 23 and Saturday, PARKERSBURG.

Based on the classic Tales of the Arabia11 Nights, the production is a musical magic carpel ride through the colorful legend of the greatest storyteller of the ancient Arabian world. SchehentZade is called upon to use ller tale-spinning talents to save the women in her kingdom from certain destruction by the King. Her tales are underscored by captivating musical themes. Her enchanted stories transform royal counselors into powerful genies and change the King into his own worst enemy, a woman, and a victim of his own revengeful plot. As the King is entertained, he is also educated in morality and kindness by the wise Scheherazade, who becomes his Queen. The exquisi,te instrumental music heightens the magical and mysterious ambiance of the story. Cast and crew will be comprised of members of Guild Builders, the guild's youth theatre troupe. Each perfonnance will be preceded by a short original play entitled "Arabian Nightmare," written and produced by the Guild Builders Playwriting and Producing class.

The village is applying for a $25,000 grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation to assist in funding the project. a grant which may mean the difference between a basic skate park and a great one. The skate park the village hopes to build was picked out by local kids who attend the Southern Local Schools District when they met with Mayor J. Scott Hill. "We have kids skating all over the community in the roads ·and on the sidewalks and up and down church steps which is a dangerous mix for all involved," Spencer said.

Those blasts and a recent spate of attacks against helicopters have raised fears that insurgents are trying to develop new ways to confront U.S. and Iraqi forces. Any increase in chemical bombings could complicate the Baghdad security crackdown, now in its second week. Lt. Gen. Ray Odiemo. the No. 2 American commander in lrdq, said he did not think the attacks signaled a more capable insurgency. Instead, he said they were merely an attempt to provoke fear. "What they're trying to do is ... adapt in such ways where they can continue to create instability," Odierno said. The general also said at least two suspects have been arrested in the downing of eight helicopters since Jan. 20, but he gave no further details. The raid on the car bomb factory occurred late Tuesday in the volatile western province of Anbar, U.S. authorities said. U.S . troops discovered a pickup truck and three other .vehicles that were being prepared as car bombs, as well as detonation material in five buildings. "We also found in~redi­ ems to be used to devtse or enhance explosives, such as fertilizer and chlorine cylinders," Odierno told Pentagon reporters by video-link. Insurgents have detonated three trucks carrying chlorine canisters since late January. The most recent attack occurred Wednesday in Baghdad, killing five people and sending more than 55 to hospitals. On Tuesday, a bomb planted on a chlorine tanker left more than 150 villa~ers stricken north of the capttal. More than 60 were still under medical care Wednesday. A suicide bomber driving a dump truck filled with explosives and a chlorine tank also struck a quick reaction force and Iraqi police in the Sunni city of Ramadi on Jan. 28, killing 16 people. Jeremy Binnie, an analyst with Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center, noted that it is unclear how many in the attacks died from the explosions and how many were victims of the chlorine itself. . U.S. and Iraqi officials pledged to adapt to fight the evolving insurgent tactics. "What is obvious to us is that the terrorists are adopting new tactics to cause panic and as many casualties as they can among civilians," Iraqi military ~kesman, Brig. Gen. Qassim Moussawi, told reporters. "But our plans also are always changeable and flexible to face the enemies' new tactics." Although relatively few people have been killed or seriously injured in the chlorine blasts, such attacks are unnerving and can cause panic among a people suf, fering severe psychological strains after nearly four years of war. With low levels of exposure, chlorine, which was used as a weapon in World . War I. can cause breathing problems and irritate the skin. At high levels, it is fatal. Experts say chlorine is used as a disinfeculnt and is widely available in Iraq, which the U.N. long sus~ of trying to build a chemkal we3J!Ons arsenal. But foraner U.N . weapons inspector David Kay said U.N. experts paid little ' attention to •·garden variety" industrial-grade che mi , cals such as fertilizers and chlorine unless they were found in large quantities or near weapon s plants. Major cities such as Baghdad stocked chlorine for water treatment. The .discovery of the car bomb factory Tuesday took place in the town of Karmah, 50 miles west of the capital. ·Elsewhere Jn Anbar province, Sunm insurgents armed with rocket-pr<Jpelled grenades attacked U.S. troops in the volatile city of Ramadi. setting otT a six-hour firelight that killed at least 12 people, the U.S. military said Thursday. Iraqi authorities said the dead included women and children. The battle broke out Wednesday evening when insurgents opened lire on a U.S. patrol from nearby buildings. The Americans responded with '"precision guided munitions" that damaged several buildings and ended the fight. Marine spokesman I st Lt. Shawn Mercer said. There were no U.S. casualties, but 12 insurgents were killed and three were wounded, Mercer said. He said no civilian casualties were reported. However. Dr. Hafidh Ibrahim of the Ramadi Hospital said the bodies of 26 people, including four women and children, were pulled from the rubble of three houses damaged in the fighting. Photographs made avail· able to The Associated Press showed the bodies of two small boys wrapped in one Other photos blanket. showed four or five bodies covered by blankets, and several men clearing rubble. Firefights are not unusual in Ramadi, the Anbar provincial capital 75 miles west of Baghdad. The clashes underscore the challenges posed by Sunni insurgents in the area even as the U.S. seeks to quell Sunni-Shiite violence in the capital. President Bush ·is sending 21,500 more soldiers to Iraq - 4,000 of them to Anbar and the rest to Baghdad for the security plan. One U.S . soldier was killed and three others were wounded in a roadside bombing Thursday near the Shiite city of Diwaniyah, the U.S. command said. Nationwide, at least 19 people were killed or found dead Thursday, including 14 bullet-riddled bodies showing signs of torture that were found in Baghdad and two in .the southeastern city of Kut. Three others were .shot to death in the northern city of Mosul. Also Thursday, an Iraqi oflicial said four Iraqi soldiers were accused of raping a 50-year-old Sunni woman and the attempted rape of her two daughters - the second allegation of sexual assault leveled against Iraqi forces this week. Brig. Gen. Nijm Abdullah said the alleged attack took place about I0 days ago in the northern city of Tal Afar during a search for weapons and insurgents. A lieutenant and three enlisted men denied the charge but later confessed after they were confronted by the woman, a Turkoman, Abdullah said. He said a fifth soldier suspected something was wrong, burst into the house and forced the others at gunpoint to stop the assault. · A second rape allegation within a single week is likely , to undermine further the reputation of Iraq's security services, which the U.S. hopes can take over from coalition troops so the Americans and their allies can go home. The al-Qaida in Iraq leader, Abu Hamza alMuhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub ai-Masri. purportedly called on his followers to step up attacks on Iraqi security forces to avenge the alleged rapes.

Those blasts and a recent spate of attacks against helicopters have raised fears that insurgents are trying to develop new ways to confront U.S. and Iraqi forces. Any increase in chemical bombings could complicate the Baghdad security crackdown, now in its second week. Lt. Gen. Ray Odiemo. the No. 2 American commander in lrdq, said he did not think the attacks signaled a more capable insurgency. Instead, he said they were merely an attempt to provoke fear. "What they're trying to do is ... adapt in such ways where they can continue to create instability," Odierno said. The general also said at least two suspects have been arrested in the downing of eight helicopters since Jan. 20, but he gave no further details. The raid on the car bomb factory occurred late Tuesday in the volatile western province of Anbar, U.S. authorities said. U.S . troops discovered a pickup truck and three other .vehicles that were being prepared as car bombs, as well as detonation material in five buildings. "We also found in~redi­ ems to be used to devtse or enhance explosives, such as fertilizer and chlorine cylinders," Odierno told Pentagon reporters by video-link. Insurgents have detonated three trucks carrying chlorine canisters since late January. The most recent attack occurred Wednesday in Baghdad, killing five people and sending more than 55 to hospitals. On Tuesday, a bomb planted on a chlorine tanker left more than 150 villa~ers stricken north of the capttal. More than 60 were still under medical care Wednesday. A suicide bomber driving a dump truck filled with explosives and a chlorine tank also struck a quick reaction force and Iraqi police in the Sunni city of Ramadi on Jan. 28, killing 16 people. Jeremy Binnie, an analyst with Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center, noted that it is unclear how many in the attacks died from the explosions and how many were victims of the chlorine itself. . U.S. and Iraqi officials pledged to adapt to fight the evolving insurgent tactics. "What is obvious to us is that the terrorists are adopting new tactics to cause panic and as many casualties as they can among civilians," Iraqi military ~kesman, Brig. Gen. Qassim Moussawi, told reporters. "But our plans also are always changeable and flexible to face the enemies' new tactics." Although relatively few people have been killed or seriously injured in the chlorine blasts, such attacks are unnerving and can cause panic among a people suf, fering severe psychological strains after nearly four years of war. With low levels of exposure, chlorine, which was used as a weapon in World . War I. can cause breathing problems and irritate the skin. At high levels, it is fatal. Experts say chlorine is used as a disinfeculnt and is widely available in Iraq, which the U.N. long sus~ of trying to build a chemkal we3J!Ons arsenal. But foraner U.N . weapons inspector David Kay said U.N. experts paid little ' attention to •·garden variety" industrial-grade che mi , cals such as fertilizers and chlorine unless they were found in large quantities or near weapon s plants. Major cities such as Baghdad stocked chlorine for water treatment. The .discovery of the car bomb factory Tuesday took place in the town of Karmah, 50 miles west of the capital. ·Elsewhere Jn Anbar province, Sunm insurgents armed with rocket-pr<Jpelled grenades attacked U.S. troops in the volatile city of Ramadi. setting otT a six-hour firelight that killed at least 12 people, the U.S. military said Thursday. Iraqi authorities said the dead included women and children. The battle broke out Wednesday evening when insurgents opened lire on a U.S. patrol from nearby buildings. The Americans responded with '"precision guided munitions" that damaged several buildings and ended the fight. Marine spokesman I st Lt. Shawn Mercer said. There were no U.S. casualties, but 12 insurgents were killed and three were wounded, Mercer said. He said no civilian casualties were reported. However. Dr. Hafidh Ibrahim of the Ramadi Hospital said the bodies of 26 people, including four women and children, were pulled from the rubble of three houses damaged in the fighting. Photographs made avail· able to The Associated Press showed the bodies of two small boys wrapped in one Other photos blanket. showed four or five bodies covered by blankets, and several men clearing rubble. Firefights are not unusual in Ramadi, the Anbar provincial capital 75 miles west of Baghdad. The clashes underscore the challenges posed by Sunni insurgents in the area even as the U.S. seeks to quell Sunni-Shiite violence in the capital. President Bush ·is sending 21,500 more soldiers to Iraq - 4,000 of them to Anbar and the rest to Baghdad for the security plan. One U.S . soldier was killed and three others were wounded in a roadside bombing Thursday near the Shiite city of Diwaniyah, the U.S. command said. Nationwide, at least 19 people were killed or found dead Thursday, including 14 bullet-riddled bodies showing signs of torture that were found in Baghdad and two in .the southeastern city of Kut. Three others were .shot to death in the northern city of Mosul. Also Thursday, an Iraqi oflicial said four Iraqi soldiers were accused of raping a 50-year-old Sunni woman and the attempted rape of her two daughters - the second allegation of sexual assault leveled against Iraqi forces this week. Brig. Gen. Nijm Abdullah said the alleged attack took place about I0 days ago in the northern city of Tal Afar during a search for weapons and insurgents. A lieutenant and three enlisted men denied the charge but later confessed after they were confronted by the woman, a Turkoman, Abdullah said. He said a fifth soldier suspected something was wrong, burst into the house and forced the others at gunpoint to stop the assault. · A second rape allegation within a single week is likely , to undermine further the reputation of Iraq's security services, which the U.S. hopes can take over from coalition troops so the Americans and their allies can go home. The al-Qaida in Iraq leader, Abu Hamza alMuhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub ai-Masri. purportedly called on his followers to step up attacks on Iraqi security forces to avenge the alleged rapes.

In 1981, an attempted coup began in Spain as 200 members of the Civil Guard invaded the Parliament, taking lawmakers hostage. (However, the attempt collapsed 18 hours later.) Ten years ago: Scientists in Scotland announced they had succeeded in cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb named "Dolly." (Dolly, however, was later put down after a short life marred by premature aging and disease.) Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, a Palestinian teacher, opened frre on the 86th-floor observation deck of New York.'s Empire State Building, killing one person and wounding six others before shooting himself to death. In eastern India, nearly 200 people were k.illed when frre swept through a tent built for a rehgious festival. Five years ago: Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancoun was kidnapped by a rebel group; · the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. (She reportedly remains in captivity.) Penn State pole vaulter Kevin Dare died after landing on his head during the Big Ten indoor championships in Minneapolis. One year ago: The snow-covered roof of a Moscow mark.et collapsed, killing 66 people. A United Arab Emirates company volunteered to postpone its takeover of significant operations at six major U.S. seapons, giving the White House more time to convince skepticallawmak.ers the deal posed no increased risks from terrorism. Japan's Shizuka Arakawa stunned favorites Sasha Cohen of the United States and Irina Slutskaya of Russia to claim the women's figure skating gold medal at the Thrin Winter Olympics.

John Usle Uncia L Pridemore The Daily Sentinel ------------- William Rusher (thanks to human pollutants) over the Antarctic and threatened to increase hugely the amount of deadly interstellar radiation reaching the planet's surface, causing millions of fatal skin cancers. The subseql)ent news that the ozone hole was actually diminishing was lost in the gratifying burst of terror over the discovery of global warming. The second engine (which was also inlluential in the llaps over acid rain and the ozone llole) is the traditional liberal hatred of •• American corporations," which is mobilized whenever some new misfonune can be laid. however speciously. at their door. All sons of manufacturing operations emit carbon dioxide, which are thus responsible for some uncertain pan of the seven-tenths of one degree Celsius by which the earth's surface temperature rose in the 20th century. Actually, believe it or not, cows emit far more greenhouse gases (from their rear ends) than corporations do, but corporations are easier to hate than cows. So the ancient cry has gone up, "Stop the corporations!" The third and final engine is, as you might expect, money. Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars the United States paid "scientists" (mostly in universities) last year to study this or that aspect of global warming? They are raiding this El Dorado with both hands, and you can imagine their attitude toward any colleague who dares to doubt their warnmgs. The latest incitement to panic over global warming 1s the recent Iy released summary of a 1.400-page repon by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We won't get to see the actual report till May, but the IPCC's chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, says "I hope this repon will shock people." Given the media's hype . conceming the human causes of global warming, il undoubtedly will. But the actual figures, when com- . pared to those in the LPCC's last report in 2001. are downright encouraging. Christopher Monckton, a British analyst, points out that the new summary "more than halved its highend be~t estimate of the rise in sea level by 2100 from 3 feet to just 17 inches." (AI Gore predicts 20 to 30 feet.) Monckton adds that "The U.N. has cui its estimate of (the human) net effect on climate by more than a· third." Part of the problem is that the eanh's temperature is always in motion, up or down. At the moment, It is !rending slightly up ~ three-hundredths of a degree Celsius since 200 l. Before that, in the midyears of the 20th century, it was actually falling - providing grist for the media's hysterical predictions of a "new lee Age" back in the 1970s. Meanwhile, you can count on the liberals to demand savage cutbacks in the output of America's '"greedy" corporations (never mind what that does to the economy) and on the opponunistic hack.s in the science faculties of our universities tO carve still bigger grants fQ£ themselves out of the fede~­ al and state budgets to finance more justificat.ioo6 for the panic.

The tests were given in 2005. The government released the scores Thursday along with a report examining the high school transcripts of 2005 graduates. The transcript study shows high school students are earning more credits. taking more challenging courses and getting higher grade-point averages than in the past.

There are 311 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: · On Feb. 23, 1945, during World Wa:r II, U.S. Marines on lwo Jima captured Mount Suribachi, where they raised the American flag . (Actually, there were two flag-raisings that day _ the s_·ewnd was the one captured in the famous Associated Press photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal.) On this date: In 1633, English diarist Samuel Pepys was born 10 London. In 1836, the siege of the Alamo began in San.Antonio. · In 1847, U.S: troops under Gen. Zachary Taylor defeated Mexican General Santa Anna at the Battle of Buena V1sta in Mexico. In 1848. the sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams, died in Washington at age 80. In 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrived secretly in Washington to take office, an assassination plot having been foiled in Baltimore. In 1870, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union. 1n 1927, President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill creating the Federal Radio Commission, forerunner of the Federal Communications Commission. In 1965, Stan Laurel - the "skinny" half of the Laun:l and Hardy comedy team - died in Santa Monica, Calif. In 1981, an attempted coup began in Spain as 200 members of the Civil Guard invaded the Parliament, taking lawmakers hostage. (However, the attempt collapsed 18 hours later.) Ten years ago: Scientists in Scotland announced they had succeeded in cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb named "Dolly." (Dolly, however, was later put down after a short life marred by premature aging and disease.) Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, a Palestinian teacher, opened frre on the 86th-floor observation deck of New York.'s Empire State Building, killing one person and wounding six others before shooting himself to death. In eastern India, nearly 200 people were k.illed when frre swept through a tent built for a rehgious festival. Five years ago: Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancoun was kidnapped by a rebel group; · the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. (She reportedly remains in captivity.) Penn State pole vaulter Kevin Dare died after landing on his head during the Big Ten indoor championships in Minneapolis. One year ago: The snow-covered roof of a Moscow mark.et collapsed, killing 66 people. A United Arab Emirates company volunteered to postpone its takeover of significant operations at six major U.S. seapons, giving the White House more time to convince skepticallawmak.ers the deal posed no increased risks from terrorism. Japan's Shizuka Arakawa stunned favorites Sasha Cohen of the United States and Irina Slutskaya of Russia to claim the women's figure skating gold medal at the Thrin Winter Olympics. Thought for Today: "Lovin~ a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love h1m is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult." - Nadia Boulanger, French composer and teacher ( 1887-1979).

John Usle Uncia L Pridemore The Daily Sentinel ------------- William Rusher (thanks to human pollutants) over the Antarctic and threatened to increase hugely the amount of deadly interstellar radiation reaching the planet's surface, causing millions of fatal skin cancers. The subseql)ent news that the ozone hole was actually diminishing was lost in the gratifying burst of terror over the discovery of global warming. The second engine (which was also inlluential in the llaps over acid rain and the ozone llole) is the traditional liberal hatred of •• American corporations," which is mobilized whenever some new misfonune can be laid. however speciously. at their door. All sons of manufacturing operations emit carbon dioxide, which are thus responsible for some uncertain pan of the seven-tenths of one degree Celsius by which the earth's surface temperature rose in the 20th century. Actually, believe it or not, cows emit far more greenhouse gases (from their rear ends) than corporations do, but corporations are easier to hate than cows. So the ancient cry has gone up, "Stop the corporations!" The third and final engine is, as you might expect, money. Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars the United States paid "scientists" (mostly in universities) last year to study this or that aspect of global warming? They are raiding this El Dorado with both hands, and you can imagine their attitude toward any colleague who dares to doubt their warnmgs. The latest incitement to panic over global warming 1s the recent Iy released summary of a 1.400-page repon by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We won't get to see the actual report till May, but the IPCC's chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, says "I hope this repon will shock people." Given the media's hype . conceming the human causes of global warming, il undoubtedly will. But the actual figures, when com- . pared to those in the LPCC's last report in 2001. are downright encouraging. Christopher Monckton, a British analyst, points out that the new summary "more than halved its highend be~t estimate of the rise in sea level by 2100 from 3 feet to just 17 inches." (AI Gore predicts 20 to 30 feet.) Monckton adds that "The U.N. has cui its estimate of (the human) net effect on climate by more than a· third." Part of the problem is that the eanh's temperature is always in motion, up or down. At the moment, It is !rending slightly up ~ three-hundredths of a degree Celsius since 200 l. Before that, in the midyears of the 20th century, it was actually falling - providing grist for the media's hysterical predictions of a "new lee Age" back in the 1970s. Meanwhile, you can count on the liberals to demand savage cutbacks in the output of America's '"greedy" corporations (never mind what that does to the economy) and on the opponunistic hack.s in the science faculties of our universities tO carve still bigger grants fQ£ themselves out of the fede~­ al and state budgets to finance more justificat.ioo6 for the panic.

The government said it could not compare the malh results with the previous scores because the latest test was significantly different. The National Assessn1ent of Educational Progress often called the nation 's repon card - is viewed as the best way to compare students across the country because it's the only uniform national yardstick for how well students are learning. The tests were given in 2005. The government released the scores Thursday along with a report examining the high school transcripts of 2005 graduates. The transcript study shows high school students are earning more credits. taking more challenging courses and getting higher grade-point averages than in the past. In 2005. high school graduates had an overall gradepoint average just shy of .Hl - or about a B. That has gone up from a grade-point average of about:. .7 in 1990.

Seek your happiness m the LORD. and he wit! give you your heart\ desire. Give yourself to the LORD. Trust in him and he will help you. (Psalm 37.3a. 4-5. GNTJ It really is amazing how important trust is to pra~tical. everyday living when you stop to think abuut ju,;t how much you really do exercise trust. For instance. when vou drop mail off at the otlil.:e you trust the postal service w get each piece to its proper destination. When ~ou look at a map you trust us accuracy enough to plan your nip by it. When we go out to eat in a restaurant we typically do not fret and worry over whether or not the food is poisoned. There is trust involved. When a friend gives us a gift we acl·ept it as being ours, fully belonging to us. In other words, we trust that it really and truly is a gift. And. come to think about it, could you really have friend~hip without trusl"1 As Christians we believe that God the Creator is thoroughly involved in sustaining the whole of the created order, and we almost intuitively trust Him to manage the universe quite capably and proficiently. But here is precisely where many of us begin to run into problems. While we trust Him to manage the universe. we do not trust Him to manage our lives. We trust God to save our souls for all eternity. but otien times do not trust Him to save us today. We trust the Lord to save us from the conseq_uences of sin but not from Its power over our lives. We trust the Almighty One to sit upon the throne of heaven but do not trust Him with the throne of our heart . What is more astounding is to think how often we trust sinful human being' in so many important areas of life yet fail to trust God even in relatively insignificant matters. When we put our chi!- Po'' Rev. Jonathan Noble PASTOR. TRINITY CHURCH dren on the school bus each weekday morning we trust their lives into the hands of a bus driver, whose name we may not even know. and hardly ever think twice about it. But when God says thm if we honour Him with our substance "and with the first fruits of all" that we have we ""will be filled with plenty," we otkn tend to horde our money and material possessions instead of giving and giving generously. (See Proverbs 3.9-10) Why ? The only explanation must be we do not really trust the Lord to keep His Word. God tells us He is our "stronghold" and the "rock"' of our ""refuge," and He (and He alone) promises to "repay" those who do us wrong. {See Psalm 95.~ 1-23) He tells us never to avenge ourselve,;. for "'vengeance is mine, l will repay, says the Lord." {See Romans 12.19) Do we really trust Him' Then why do we so often seek our own revenge? Why do we become so angry, stay angry and start plotting ways to get back at "old so-and-so." The answer must be that we really do not trust God or. perhaps. we simply do not believe He is capable. (Or worse. we think He might not see things our way and so decide we really do not need to be avenged for anything! Consequently. we take the matter into our own hands, trusting our own judgement of things more than His.) God says ""do not worry about anything. but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of <Jod, which surpasses all understanding, wi II guard your heans and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4.6-7) He mvites us to "cast air, of our ""anxiety on him because he cares for us."' This is an assurance, a precious promise "to accomplish abundant ly more" than all we could "ask or imagine." (See Ephesians 3.20) Do we trust Him to keep His Word? Then why do we so often fret and worry? Why is it we offer the Lord some problem or concern in prayer, lay it at His feet, but then pick it right back up before we even get up off our knees? Do you do this' I am sorry to say I have and still do, ·but this only indicates lack of trust ... lack of trust in the One who is most worthy of our unbridled trust and confidence. Our Lord Jesus said. "Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread wiil give a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish will give a snake1 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7.9- ll) Do we trust Him? Do we real!~ believe what Jesus says. Do we really trust Him to fill our lives with love, when we ask for love? To bring us into positive, and uplifting healthy friendships when we ask for good friendsry To lead us into productive and gainful employment when we are looking for a job? If we have placed in the hands of God our eternal souls. then we ought to make certain the whole of our everyday life rests there as well ... to say with the Psalmist, "In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust. .. " (Psalm 56. l 0-ll a) In God we trust? May it be so. Amen. · with Mohamed Sayed Tantawi, grand sheik at the Al-A zhar Mosque. and e.xt~ nded the invitation. It "Wtl' accepted wit h satisfaction," the Vatic·an said Tuesday. No date was announced for the visit. Benedict has been trying to improve Christian relations with the Muslim world, i ·r r r r 1 particularly after a speech he gave Sept. 12 at Regensburg university in Germany that touched off violent Muslim protests. The pontiff had quoted a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith." ' ' ~ • r A "Christian"' who does not put into practice the truth of God as the Holy Spirit works invisibly inside htm. reminds me a lot of tl)e · chick of the cowbird , which, my children have informed me, is a "brood parasite" (a lot like the European Cuckoo). With great indignation. my children described to me how this little villain of the avian world (its scientific name being "Molothrus ater") mooches off of other birds by sneaking into nests in which eggs have been laid. Unlike most birds, the cowbird can lay an egg in lightning speed and be gone before the owners return from finding food . The cowbird is so cunning that it will even push out one or more of the original eggs in order to increase the likelihood of success. The egg will hatch and the cowbird chick will live with the other chicks eating their food, and frequently becoming so aggressive that it will starve the others by eating their share. Indeed, they will even kick out other eggs or young birds in order to be the only one benefiting from the parent birds' care! And when they grow uf, do they have any sense o loyalty to the birds which raised them? No. they fly away to fmd others of their own kind, eventually laying eggs of their own m other btrds · nests. The counterpart that we could find in the Christian world are those who like being a part of a society of Christians (who are, after all, commanded to be loving). but have no intention of being fruitful parts of their respective corners of the Kingdom of God. Don't miss the point that people who generall~ fall into this category don t regard themselves as doing so. You and I must understand that as God invests in us His forgiveness and promises of grace, that we are not redeemed to serve ourselves but to be agents of devotion to our God. God, Who did not spare us His Own Son, intends our priorities, our passions, and our li;ves to be beacons of hope for those who are spiritually perishing. If you and I are living selfishly, what can be done? How can I turn the light of Christ from being merely a benefit to myself towards driving away the darkness spun by tendrils of pride, lust, hate, envy, greed, and despair? ' , · 1 1 Pastor Thom Mollohan '"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy ;o that in me. the worst of sinners. Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life . Now to the King eternal, immonal . invisible, the only God. be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen"' (I Timothy l : 15-17 NIV). The truth of God has the enormous capac ity to change your life! Consider the potential for spiritual fruit and kin~dom growth if the meat ol your trust in Christ is fleshed out in experience' For one. who lives his or her life with the conviction that God is in loving and gracious control, the future holds little power for terror! Even if it seems in doubt due to illness , financial instability, relationship breakdowns, or those pivotal moments when we stand at crossroads wherein our next decision sets the course of the rest of our lives and possibly the lives of others, that which will yet come to pass can only ultimately end in blessing! So let us be cautious in how we handle such merdes as they are rained down upon us! It is entirely ~os­ sible to "miss the point· of the grace of God and continue to live our lives in self-l·entered abandonment. It is even possible to actively participate in "'religious"' acliv_ities, si~honi~1g otT the prov1s1ons of God s mercies as though we were spiritual chicks of the ~owbird. keeping the promises of God for our,;elves and not permitting them to fulfill their purposes within us by failing to channel such blessings through us into the liVt',; of others 1 What a shame when those who are called "Christian" never see a harvest of the fruit of the Kingdom of God in their lives, '" ... having a form of godliness but deny- r · r 1 r 1 r r The sponsors of this church page do so with pride in our community Ch=i "'Jau c~ ~,....

Seek your happiness m the LORD. and he wit! give you your heart\ desire. Give yourself to the LORD. Trust in him and he will help you. (Psalm 37.3a. 4-5. GNTJ It really is amazing how important trust is to pra~tical. everyday living when you stop to think abuut ju,;t how much you really do exercise trust. For instance. when vou drop mail off at the otlil.:e you trust the postal service w get each piece to its proper destination. When ~ou look at a map you trust us accuracy enough to plan your nip by it. When we go out to eat in a restaurant we typically do not fret and worry over whether or not the food is poisoned. There is trust involved. When a friend gives us a gift we acl·ept it as being ours, fully belonging to us. In other words, we trust that it really and truly is a gift. And. come to think about it, could you really have friend~hip without trusl"1 As Christians we believe that God the Creator is thoroughly involved in sustaining the whole of the created order, and we almost intuitively trust Him to manage the universe quite capably and proficiently. But here is precisely where many of us begin to run into problems. While we trust Him to manage the universe. we do not trust Him to manage our lives. We trust God to save our souls for all eternity. but otien times do not trust Him to save us today. We trust the Lord to save us from the conseq_uences of sin but not from Its power over our lives. We trust the Almighty One to sit upon the throne of heaven but do not trust Him with the throne of our heart . What is more astounding is to think how often we trust sinful human being' in so many important areas of life yet fail to trust God even in relatively insignificant matters. When we put our chi!- Po'' Rev. Jonathan Noble PASTOR. TRINITY CHURCH dren on the school bus each weekday morning we trust their lives into the hands of a bus driver, whose name we may not even know. and hardly ever think twice about it. But when God says thm if we honour Him with our substance "and with the first fruits of all" that we have we ""will be filled with plenty," we otkn tend to horde our money and material possessions instead of giving and giving generously. (See Proverbs 3.9-10) Why ? The only explanation must be we do not really trust the Lord to keep His Word. God tells us He is our "stronghold" and the "rock"' of our ""refuge," and He (and He alone) promises to "repay" those who do us wrong. {See Psalm 95.~ 1-23) He tells us never to avenge ourselve,;. for "'vengeance is mine, l will repay, says the Lord." {See Romans 12.19) Do we really trust Him' Then why do we so often seek our own revenge? Why do we become so angry, stay angry and start plotting ways to get back at "old so-and-so." The answer must be that we really do not trust God or. perhaps. we simply do not believe He is capable. (Or worse. we think He might not see things our way and so decide we really do not need to be avenged for anything! Consequently. we take the matter into our own hands, trusting our own judgement of things more than His.) God says ""do not worry about anything. but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of <Jod, which surpasses all understanding, wi II guard your heans and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4.6-7) He mvites us to "cast air, of our ""anxiety on him because he cares for us."' This is an assurance, a precious promise "to accomplish abundant ly more" than all we could "ask or imagine." (See Ephesians 3.20) Do we trust Him to keep His Word? Then why do we so often fret and worry? Why is it we offer the Lord some problem or concern in prayer, lay it at His feet, but then pick it right back up before we even get up off our knees? Do you do this' I am sorry to say I have and still do, ·but this only indicates lack of trust ... lack of trust in the One who is most worthy of our unbridled trust and confidence. Our Lord Jesus said. "Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread wiil give a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish will give a snake1 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7.9- ll) Do we trust Him? Do we real!~ believe what Jesus says. Do we really trust Him to fill our lives with love, when we ask for love? To bring us into positive, and uplifting healthy friendships when we ask for good friendsry To lead us into productive and gainful employment when we are looking for a job? If we have placed in the hands of God our eternal souls. then we ought to make certain the whole of our everyday life rests there as well ... to say with the Psalmist, "In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust. .. " (Psalm 56. l 0-ll a) In God we trust? May it be so. Amen. · with Mohamed Sayed Tantawi, grand sheik at the Al-A zhar Mosque. and e.xt~ nded the invitation.

Benedict has been trying to improve Christian relations with the Muslim world, i ·r r r r 1 particularly after a speech he gave Sept. 12 at Regensburg university in Germany that touched off violent Muslim protests. The pontiff had quoted a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith." ' ' ~ • r A "Christian"' who does not put into practice the truth of God as the Holy Spirit works invisibly inside htm. reminds me a lot of tl)e · chick of the cowbird , which, my children have informed me, is a "brood parasite" (a lot like the European Cuckoo). With great indignation. my children described to me how this little villain of the avian world (its scientific name being "Molothrus ater") mooches off of other birds by sneaking into nests in which eggs have been laid. Unlike most birds, the cowbird can lay an egg in lightning speed and be gone before the owners return from finding food . The cowbird is so cunning that it will even push out one or more of the original eggs in order to increase the likelihood of success. The egg will hatch and the cowbird chick will live with the other chicks eating their food, and frequently becoming so aggressive that it will starve the others by eating their share. Indeed, they will even kick out other eggs or young birds in order to be the only one benefiting from the parent birds' care! And when they grow uf, do they have any sense o loyalty to the birds which raised them? No. they fly away to fmd others of their own kind, eventually laying eggs of their own m other btrds · nests. The counterpart that we could find in the Christian world are those who like being a part of a society of Christians (who are, after all, commanded to be loving). but have no intention of being fruitful parts of their respective corners of the Kingdom of God. Don't miss the point that people who generall~ fall into this category don t regard themselves as doing so. You and I must understand that as God invests in us His forgiveness and promises of grace, that we are not redeemed to serve ourselves but to be agents of devotion to our God. God, Who did not spare us His Own Son, intends our priorities, our passions, and our li;ves to be beacons of hope for those who are spiritually perishing. If you and I are living selfishly, what can be done? How can I turn the light of Christ from being merely a benefit to myself towards driving away the darkness spun by tendrils of pride, lust, hate, envy, greed, and despair? ' , · 1 1 Pastor Thom Mollohan '"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy ;o that in me. the worst of sinners. Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life . Now to the King eternal, immonal . invisible, the only God. be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen"' (I Timothy l : 15-17 NIV). The truth of God has the enormous capac ity to change your life! Consider the potential for spiritual fruit and kin~dom growth if the meat ol your trust in Christ is fleshed out in experience' For one. who lives his or her life with the conviction that God is in loving and gracious control, the future holds little power for terror! Even if it seems in doubt due to illness , financial instability, relationship breakdowns, or those pivotal moments when we stand at crossroads wherein our next decision sets the course of the rest of our lives and possibly the lives of others, that which will yet come to pass can only ultimately end in blessing! So let us be cautious in how we handle such merdes as they are rained down upon us! It is entirely ~os­ sible to "miss the point· of the grace of God and continue to live our lives in self-l·entered abandonment. It is even possible to actively participate in "'religious"' acliv_ities, si~honi~1g otT the prov1s1ons of God s mercies as though we were spiritual chicks of the ~owbird. keeping the promises of God for our,;elves and not permitting them to fulfill their purposes within us by failing to channel such blessings through us into the liVt',; of others 1 What a shame when those who are called "Christian" never see a harvest of the fruit of the Kingdom of God in their lives, '" ... having a form of godliness but deny- r · r 1 r 1 r r The sponsors of this church page do so with pride in our community Ch=i "'Jau c~ ~,....

WrEstl:in;J With God : Jaccb and Job ln the 32nd chapter of Gene!ois. there is an intriguing accounl of a wrestling match between Jacob and God. ur possibly an angel of God. Jacob wre.<tles with God all night long. and al dawn. Jacob is tokllhat he shall beoceforth be called Israel. for ""you ha.\'e striven wlth God and with many men, and have prevailed'" (Genesis 32.28).

Ringland sentenced Liz Carroll to 54 years to life in prison for causing the death of her 3-year-old developmentally''disabled foster son by leaving him bound cocoonli ke in a closet. c , ·..... Carroll, who stood beside him dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, was a good mother who loved ;;hildren, dragged down by a bullying husband and his live-in lover. He said she was an honor student. an athlete and student body leader in Westford, Massachusem before moving to Ohio. 'This is not a monster standing here ne~t to me," Cohen said. "This is a wellliked, well -loved, wo man who made a horrendous error in judgment." Carroll again pointed t<r Amy Baker, who lived with the Carrolls and was the state's key witness against her. 'T m sorry for the lies and I hope that someday that the truth can come out. because Amy Baker does not speak the truth," .Jihe said. Breyer scoffed at claims that Carroll was a good mother, saying neighbors told authorities she often left children unsupervised, jumping on a trampoli ne or roaming the neighborhood. .ad._._ ly ~"hool s. Passage of the combined issues would pmvide an extra $4.3 million a year for Brunswick, East said. The levy has been endorsed by all the county 's districts . East believes that will make the sales job to voters easier. "One thing about this sales tax is it's in Medina County for Medina County students," East said. 'This required the unilication of the school districts. We just had to iron out how to do it." Another mystery for districts is what passage of the statewide amendment would accomplish. Leaders of the Republi;;an-controlled Legislature, Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and a few big-city mayors have complained the language is too vague. The amendment doesn't defme a high-quality education and places no price tag on its implementation. Advocates of the amendment say it's up to policymakers and lawmakers to decide how to make the amendment work. "I think some (district ollicials) have talked about. it," said Scott Ebrig ht, spokesman for the Ohio School Boards Association. 'The need is there at the local level. Not enough is known about how this amendment will be affecting their districts." The Heath City Schools district in central Ohio also will field a May ballot issue, Treasurer Brddley Hall said. The unknown effects of the statewide issue's passage played into district ofticials' decision to return to the ballot. A similar levy, whi;;h would generate about $2 million a year. failed in November. "I don't know that much about that (statewide) ballot issue," Hall said.

Carroll, who stood beside him dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, was a good mother who loved ;;hildren, dragged down by a bullying husband and his live-in lover.

"This is a wellliked, well -loved, wo man who made a horrendous error in judgment." Carroll again pointed t<r Amy Baker, who lived with the Carrolls and was the state's key witness against her. 'T m sorry for the lies and I hope that someday that the truth can come out. because Amy Baker does not speak the truth," .Jihe said. Breyer scoffed at claims that Carroll was a good mother, saying neighbors told authorities she often left children unsupervised, jumping on a trampoli ne or roaming the neighborhood. .ad._._ ly ~"hool s. Passage of the combined issues would pmvide an extra $4.3 million a year for Brunswick, East said. The levy has been endorsed by all the county 's districts . East believes that will make the sales job to voters easier. "One thing about this sales tax is it's in Medina County for Medina County students," East said. 'This required the unilication of the school districts. We just had to iron out how to do it." Another mystery for districts is what passage of the statewide amendment would accomplish. Leaders of the Republi;;an-controlled Legislature, Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and a few big-city mayors have complained the language is too vague. The amendment doesn't defme a high-quality education and places no price tag on its implementation. Advocates of the amendment say it's up to policymakers and lawmakers to decide how to make the amendment work. "I think some (district ollicials) have talked about. it," said Scott Ebrig ht, spokesman for the Ohio School Boards Association. 'The need is there at the local level. Not enough is known about how this amendment will be affecting their districts." The Heath City Schools district in central Ohio also will field a May ballot issue, Treasurer Brddley Hall said. The unknown effects of the statewide issue's passage played into district ofticials' decision to return to the ballot. A similar levy, whi;;h would generate about $2 million a year. failed in November. "I don't know that much about that (statewide) ballot issue," Hall said.

Smith's game winning shot provided Wahama with its only lead of the night as coach James Toth 's cagers fought an uphill battle throughout the 32 minute contest.

Neither team shot the ball particularly well from the noor or from the free throw stripe with Wahama gaining its margin of victory from beyond the three point line where they held a 5-3 edge over Calhoun County.

Redwomen shocked in AMC toumamen~ Wahama BY MARK WH I '*MS SPEC'~!. TO THE SENTINEl RIO GRANDE - Oh what a difference a few days make . It is difficult to beat a team three times in a season. Cliches abounded as it was Rio Grande and Tiffin for the third time this season on Wednesday evening at the Newt Oliver Arena in the first round of the women's American Mideast Qualifying Tournament. This time the stakes were very high in the world of survive and advance and Tiffin was able to score the upset and move to the next round with a 75-66 win in overtime. Rio Grande (20-11) fell behind 8-0 but overcame the early jitters and played toe, to-toe with the Dragons after that. .The Redwomen fmally gained the lead at 21-20 at the 4:30 mark of the first half on a three-pointer from senior forward Lauren Fox . Tiffin (14-14) was not able to capitalize on some easy looks in the paint early in the game, missing numerous chances that would have given them a cushion to play with. Rio also missed plenty of shots in the paint in the first half as well. Tiffin led at the half, 30-26 thanks to a pair of late three's from Kylene Spiegel. Neither team shot well in the opening half as Rio converted only 9-of-28 shots (32.1 percent) and Tiffin went 12-of-31 (38.7 percent ) from the field. The Dragons exploded to begin the second half, jumping out to a 44-32 lead with just a little over 14 minutes to play. Rio battled back to within six points at 50-44 after Fox drilled a trifecta from the left comer with II minutes to play. The Redwomen contin11ed the comeback closing the gap to one point at 5554. The second half proved to be a half of spurts for both teams. Tiffin went up 61-54 with 3:38 to play only to see Rio claw back to tie the game at 61-61 with 30 seconds remaining. The two teams would be tied at 61 at the end of regulation. Tiffin made the last run of the game and it proved to be fatal for the Redwomen as tbe visitors outscored Rio Grande 14-5 in overtime to get the win and advance to the semifinal round. Rio placed four players in double figures led by Fox with 14 points. Fox went 4of-11 from three-point land. Senior point guard Carlesha Chambers added 12 points, six rebounds and five assists. Junior guard Britney Walker added II points and pulled down eight range.

Morrison begins comeback bid with knockout CHESTER, W.Va. (AP) - That left hook still works all these years later for Tommy Morrison. The former WBO heavyweight champion stopped John Castle in the second round Thursday night in his return to the ring II years after testing positive for the virus that causes AIDS . The 38-year-old Morrison, who claims he has no trace of the AIDS virus after taking several HIV tests, dropped Castle with a left hook to the head midway through the second of the scheduled fourround fight at Mountaineer Racetrack and Gaming Resort. about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. The bearded Castle slowly got up and referee Dave Johnson counted to eight before stopping the match. Morrison (47-3-1}, who until that point had landed few punches, fell to his knees afterward and raised his arms skyward. "I'm satisfied with my performance. I still have a lot of improving to do," Morrison said. "For the first fight in II years, with a win under my be)t, I'm pretty happy. "As lime goes on, as I spend more time in the j!ym, I'm goi~,g to improve m every area. Castle hadn't fought in nearly two years but said he wasn't going to fight Morrison until he personally reviewed Morrison's medical records. He got the chance to do so about four hours before the fight.

Morrison was clearly outpointed in the first round, taking two solid punches to the head. "I was a little apprehensive, a lillie jiuery, which I think is to be expected," said Morrison. sporting a bruise under his right eye. "I think I got a little lazy with a couple of right hands but I think I was able to come ' back from it. It knocked me off balance. but I wasn't in trouble . But hey, it was my first fight in II years . My defense is going to improve as time goes on." . Morri son said he has been improving on his right hand coordination, "but when you· re between a rock and a hard place, you go back to- what works." That came late in the second round. and Castle said he never saw the left hook that ended the match. "With a guy who was 42, I should never have gotten to (fight ) him at all," Castle said. Morrison won the WBO title in 1993 by outpointing George Foreman. He lo>t it later that year. Morrison, who was featured in the movie " Rocky V," also served a couple of years in an Arkansas prison on drug and weapons charges. "Tough times never last, but tough people do," Morrison said. In February 1996, Morrison tested HIV positive just before a scheduled fight against Stormy Weathers. At ·the time, Morrison said he likely contracted the disease through a promiscuous sex life. Morrison said earlier this week he has taken several HIV tests while preparing for his comeback and all have been negative_ West Virginia Athletic commissioner Steve Allred approved Morrison's participation after reviewing medical records and consulting with the Association of Boxing Commissions' medical review commiuee. Morrison. who didn ' t address the tests after the fight, said he plans two more bouts in March. "When the timing comes back, everything else sharpens up as well ," Morrison said. In another fight, heavyweight Joe Mesi stopped George Linberger in the first round. Mesi also is making a comeback.

For Qne of the few tinu~s since he changed teams, so was he. Wallace scored 14 points with 19 rebounds, a seasonhigh seven blocks and two huge free throws in the final minutes to lead the Chicago Bulls to an 84-78 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on thursday night. . Wallace, playing one of his best all-around games since sjgning as a free agent with the Bulls, dominated inside as Chicago snapped a six-game losing streak in Cleveland and improved to H- 2 in the Central. "He was outstanding," Bulls coach Scott Skiles said of Wallace, who also had five assists in 44 minutes. "When lie plays with that kind of effort, he can put up those kind of numbers. He was on from the beginning. We left him out there and he made big plays." Luol Deng scored 18 points, Ben Gordon 16 and Kirk Hinrich II for the Bulls. who overcame foul trouble and 24 turnovers. Tr.tiling by three with less than seven minutes left, Chicago put away the Cavaliers with a 145 burst. The Bulls, who had an uneven first half of the seaS!)n, were playing their first of four games in five days against some of the Easu~m Conference· s top teams. On Friday. they'll host Washington before traveling to Detroit - Wallace's former stomping ground - on Sunday and hosting Orlando on Monday_ "We really needed this one, especially with our record (10-18) on the road," Deng said. "We need to start stepping it up a little bit." LeBron James scored 29 points and Larry Hughes had 20 for Cleveland, but the Cavaliers, the NBA's wurst free-throw shooting team, were just 8-of-16 from the line. Chicago, meanwhile, was 12-of-12 from the stripe. But the Cavaliers' biggest problem was that they couldn't handle Wallace. He didn't have to contend with Zydrunas llgauskas. and by being active on the lJoan!s, Wallace was able to foul out .._nderson Varejao. · "He played inspired ball ," James said.

Deng scored again to make it 82-73 before James hit a 3pointer and scored on a follow to pull the Cavaliers within R2-78. However, Gordon made two more free throws with 13.7 seconds leti to seal it. The Cavaliers played their fourth strdight game without llgauskas, who 1s attending to personal family health matters and may not rejoin the club until this weekend. Cleveland was also missing guard Sasha Pavlovic (tlu) and guard Damon Jones (strep throat). "We had three of our top eight guys inactive," James satd. "It's goin~ to be tough for us to wm wuh those guys out. We didn't have that spunk we usually have with those ~uys coming off the bench.' The Cays overcame a 16point deticit in the third quarter and took a 71-68 lead with 6:56 remaining on Donyell Marshall's 3-pointer. But Deng took advantage of a mismatch and· scored over rookie Dimiel Gibson before hitting two free throws to out Chicago up 72-71. Tile Cavs mistired on their next two possessions, and the Bulls made them pay as Wallace scored twice underneath to give Chicago a 76-71 lead with 3:39 leti. "We did a great job of moving the ball around," Wallace satd. "Everybody was playing together. When we play together like that and keep the game simple, good things usually happen for us." The Bulls, who held Atlanta without a field goal for the entire third quaner in a win on Tuesday, limited Cleveland to 4-of-19 shooting, nine points and just one shot per possession in the second quarter. ''That killed us," James said. Chicago's Andres Nocioni returned after missing ~even games with plantar fasciitis and scored five points in 15 minutes.

I was hoping he was going West.'' he cracked. stavs, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jason Kidd and Vince Carter stayed put. Same with Pau Gasol and Mike Bibby. Trade deadline day in the NBA was all talk, almost no action. There were three minor deals Thursday involving four players, and even the guys who were expected to make moves were surprised so little happened. "There was so much speculation. so many things going on regarding some pretty high profile players , for none of it to n11ne to fruition is a little st1rprisi ng for me." New Jersey president Rod Thorn said. "But historically, 98 percent that might be t<tlked about of a serious nature never gets done at this time of year. for whatever reason ." Thorn held on to AllStars Kidd and Curter, who were frequently mentioned in tn1de speculation. The slumping Los Angeles Lakers were trying to land Kidd . who sounded resigned ·to a deal in the last few days. Instead, the Nets will hope to get healthy - they confirmed Thursday that Kidd has a cracked rib along with the sore back that knocked him out of the All-Star game - before in the !52-pound weight class. Phillip Allen abo moved on in the 112-pound weight class when he pinned T.J. Thompson of Independence in just 3:08. Anthony letTers, another favorite to make it to the state finals in the 160pound class. scored a pinfall m just I :04 over his first round opponent Josh Zirkle of Phillip Barbour. Also claiming first round wins were Jared Searls in the 119-pound class. who defeated Pat Neis of Wheelin g Central in a major decision, Eric Veith, who won 5-4 over Cliff White of Lincoln in the 140-pound class, Tre Pyles. who pinned Todd Sullivan of Richwood in I :08 in the 145pound class and Colby McCoy who won by decision over Cullen Grover of Tyler Consolidated in the 189-pound division. Still, just making it to the state tournament is quite 'Y' accomplishment and the competitors making first round exits can still hang their heads high on a great season . Caleb Duong fell by a 4-1 ~ecision to Derek Hovermale of Berkely Springs in the IOJ-pound class.

"It probably was an option that they considered." Colangelo made the only trade that involved multipic NBA players. sending guard Fred Jones to Portland for guard Juan Dixon. Jones, who played at Oregon and lives in the Portland area, had fallen out of the Raptors' rotation. The Dallas Mavericks dealt backup point guard Anthony Johnson to Atlanta for a second-round pick, and Philadelphia sent veteran Alan Henderson to Utah it~ another deal where picks were involved. So where were the big trades'' "It sounded like there were deals that were on the table as late as noon today," Colangelo said. "Why they didn't happen, I can't tell you." Cleveland was hoping to make one, talking to Sacramento about acquiring point guard Mike Bibby. But the Cavaliers weren't interested in including any of their younger core. so decided to · keep what they have sur- rounding LeBron James. "My job is to look at how we can have sustainable success to go for it this year, but have sustainable success," Cavs GM Danny Ferry said. "Putting all that together, the deals that were hrought to us, I didn't think they made sense. And ultimately we couldn't find a good partner." The Cavs may not need a deal. anyway. They entered Thursday with the secondbes(record in the East, and are one of a number of teams who have to like their chances better now that the Miami Heat could be without Dwyane Wade for a while. . "I didn't get involved in any trade talks and none of my teammates did either. Whatever happened, happened," James said. "As professionals we move on, but we're very excited that we ' re all together still. ... At the end of the day. we're happy that we . have some stability and guys are ready to move on and play the second half of the season." Wade 's InJury Wednesday night may have made a team such as New Jersey thi11k twice about making a move . He went down with a dislocated left shoulder, an injury that could leave the Heat without the NBA finals MVP for quite some time. Miami is eighth in the East. with no guarantee of a playoff spot "if Wade has an extended absence. "You look at the landscape and it is exactly where it was yesterday with one big exception: I think Miami is probably reeling after the injury 10 Dwyane," Colangelo said. "You hate to see that. but it will affect the playoff race. Everyone else is largely the same." There's also the lure of a strong draft class that could be highlighted by freshmen Greg Oden of Ohio State and Kevin Durant of Texas. The Memphi s Grizzlie s have been looking for a deal for Gasol for some time, but realized they may have better options by waiting for the summer. after they know where they land in the draft lottery. ·So, the big deals will have to wait until the summer. "There's alway s much more rhetoric at this time of year from people," Thorn said , •·and seldom does anything of substance get done."

Redwomen shocked in AMC toumamen~ Wahama BY MARK WH I '*MS SPEC'~!. TO THE SENTINEl RIO GRANDE - Oh what a difference a few days make . It is difficult to beat a team three times in a season. Cliches abounded as it was Rio Grande and Tiffin for the third time this season on Wednesday evening at the Newt Oliver Arena in the first round of the women's American Mideast Qualifying Tournament. This time the stakes were very high in the world of survive and advance and Tiffin was able to score the upset and move to the next round with a 75-66 win in overtime. Rio Grande (20-11) fell behind 8-0 but overcame the early jitters and played toe, to-toe with the Dragons after that. .The Redwomen fmally gained the lead at 21-20 at the 4:30 mark of the first half on a three-pointer from senior forward Lauren Fox . Tiffin (14-14) was not able to capitalize on some easy looks in the paint early in the game, missing numerous chances that would have given them a cushion to play with. Rio also missed plenty of shots in the paint in the first half as well. Tiffin led at the half, 30-26 thanks to a pair of late three's from Kylene Spiegel. Neither team shot well in the opening half as Rio converted only 9-of-28 shots (32.1 percent) and Tiffin went 12-of-31 (38.7 percent ) from the field. The Dragons exploded to begin the second half, jumping out to a 44-32 lead with just a little over 14 minutes to play. Rio battled back to within six points at 50-44 after Fox drilled a trifecta from the left comer with II minutes to play. The Redwomen contin11ed the comeback closing the gap to one point at 5554. The second half proved to be a half of spurts for both teams. Tiffin went up 61-54 with 3:38 to play only to see Rio claw back to tie the game at 61-61 with 30 seconds remaining. The two teams would be tied at 61 at the end of regulation. Tiffin made the last run of the game and it proved to be fatal for the Redwomen as tbe visitors outscored Rio Grande 14-5 in overtime to get the win and advance to the semifinal round. Rio placed four players in double figures led by Fox with 14 points. Fox went 4of-11 from three-point land. Senior point guard Carlesha Chambers added 12 points, six rebounds and five assists. Junior guard Britney Walker added II points and pulled down eight range.

Morrison begins comeback bid with knockout CHESTER, W.Va. (AP) - That left hook still works all these years later for Tommy Morrison. The former WBO heavyweight champion stopped John Castle in the second round Thursday night in his return to the ring II years after testing positive for the virus that causes AIDS . The 38-year-old Morrison, who claims he has no trace of the AIDS virus after taking several HIV tests, dropped Castle with a left hook to the head midway through the second of the scheduled fourround fight at Mountaineer Racetrack and Gaming Resort. about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. The bearded Castle slowly got up and referee Dave Johnson counted to eight before stopping the match. Morrison (47-3-1}, who until that point had landed few punches, fell to his knees afterward and raised his arms skyward. "I'm satisfied with my performance. I still have a lot of improving to do," Morrison said. "For the first fight in II years, with a win under my be)t, I'm pretty happy. "As lime goes on, as I spend more time in the j!ym, I'm goi~,g to improve m every area. Castle hadn't fought in nearly two years but said he wasn't going to fight Morrison until he personally reviewed Morrison's medical records. He got the chance to do so about four hours before the fight.

Morrison stopped Castle in the second round Thursday night in his return to the ring 11 years after testing positive for the virus that causes AIDS. received a solid ovation from the crowd. Morrison was clearly outpointed in the first round, taking two solid punches to the head. "I was a little apprehensive, a lillie jiuery, which I think is to be expected," said Morrison. sporting a bruise under his right eye. "I think I got a little lazy with a couple of right hands but I think I was able to come ' back from it. It knocked me off balance. but I wasn't in trouble . But hey, it was my first fight in II years . My defense is going to improve as time goes on." . Morri son said he has been improving on his right hand coordination, "but when you· re between a rock and a hard place, you go back to- what works." That came late in the second round. and Castle said he never saw the left hook that ended the match. "With a guy who was 42, I should never have gotten to (fight ) him at all," Castle said. Morrison won the WBO title in 1993 by outpointing George Foreman. He lo>t it later that year. Morrison, who was featured in the movie " Rocky V," also served a couple of years in an Arkansas prison on drug and weapons charges. "Tough times never last, but tough people do," Morrison said. In February 1996, Morrison tested HIV positive just before a scheduled fight against Stormy Weathers. At ·the time, Morrison said he likely contracted the disease through a promiscuous sex life. Morrison said earlier this week he has taken several HIV tests while preparing for his comeback and all have been negative_ West Virginia Athletic commissioner Steve Allred approved Morrison's participation after reviewing medical records and consulting with the Association of Boxing Commissions' medical review commiuee. Morrison. who didn ' t address the tests after the fight, said he plans two more bouts in March. "When the timing comes back, everything else sharpens up as well ," Morrison said. In another fight, heavyweight Joe Mesi stopped George Linberger in the first round. Mesi also is making a comeback. He suffered a serious head injury in 2004 in winning a unanimous decision over Vassiliy Jirov at Las Vegas. Gibbs from Page Bl a splitter and a silder that sill needs work.

For Qne of the few tinu~s since he changed teams, so was he. Wallace scored 14 points with 19 rebounds, a seasonhigh seven blocks and two huge free throws in the final minutes to lead the Chicago Bulls to an 84-78 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on thursday night. . Wallace, playing one of his best all-around games since sjgning as a free agent with the Bulls, dominated inside as Chicago snapped a six-game losing streak in Cleveland and improved to H- 2 in the Central. "He was outstanding," Bulls coach Scott Skiles said of Wallace, who also had five assists in 44 minutes. "When lie plays with that kind of effort, he can put up those kind of numbers. He was on from the beginning. We left him out there and he made big plays." Luol Deng scored 18 points, Ben Gordon 16 and Kirk Hinrich II for the Bulls. who overcame foul trouble and 24 turnovers. Tr.tiling by three with less than seven minutes left, Chicago put away the Cavaliers with a 145 burst. The Bulls, who had an uneven first half of the seaS!)n, were playing their first of four games in five days against some of the Easu~m Conference· s top teams. On Friday. they'll host Washington before traveling to Detroit - Wallace's former stomping ground - on Sunday and hosting Orlando on Monday_ "We really needed this one, especially with our record (10-18) on the road," Deng said. "We need to start stepping it up a little bit." LeBron James scored 29 points and Larry Hughes had 20 for Cleveland, but the Cavaliers, the NBA's wurst free-throw shooting team, were just 8-of-16 from the line. Chicago, meanwhile, was 12-of-12 from the stripe. But the Cavaliers' biggest problem was that they couldn't handle Wallace. He didn't have to contend with Zydrunas llgauskas. and by being active on the lJoan!s, Wallace was able to foul out .._nderson Varejao. · "He played inspired ball ," James said.

Deng scored again to make it 82-73 before James hit a 3pointer and scored on a follow to pull the Cavaliers within R2-78. However, Gordon made two more free throws with 13.7 seconds leti to seal it. The Cavaliers played their fourth strdight game without llgauskas, who 1s attending to personal family health matters and may not rejoin the club until this weekend. Cleveland was also missing guard Sasha Pavlovic (tlu) and guard Damon Jones (strep throat). "We had three of our top eight guys inactive," James satd. "It's goin~ to be tough for us to wm wuh those guys out. We didn't have that spunk we usually have with those ~uys coming off the bench.' The Cays overcame a 16point deticit in the third quarter and took a 71-68 lead with 6:56 remaining on Donyell Marshall's 3-pointer. But Deng took advantage of a mismatch and· scored over rookie Dimiel Gibson before hitting two free throws to out Chicago up 72-71. Tile Cavs mistired on their next two possessions, and the Bulls made them pay as Wallace scored twice underneath to give Chicago a 76-71 lead with 3:39 leti. "We did a great job of moving the ball around," Wallace satd. "Everybody was playing together. When we play together like that and keep the game simple, good things usually happen for us." The Bulls, who held Atlanta without a field goal for the entire third quaner in a win on Tuesday, limited Cleveland to 4-of-19 shooting, nine points and just one shot per possession in the second quarter. ''That killed us," James said. Chicago's Andres Nocioni returned after missing ~even games with plantar fasciitis and scored five points in 15 minutes. Notes: A moment of silence was observed before the game for Dennis Johnson, a former star guard who died Thursday. "He was a difficult player to play against,'' Skiles 'd "It'ssad" sat. ....

Cavs GM Danny Ferry was r<:lieved Jason Kidd stayed with New Jersey and wasn 't dealt to another Eastern Conference club. "If Jason Kidd was going to get traded. I was hoping he was going West.'' he cracked. stavs, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jason Kidd and Vince Carter stayed put. Same with Pau Gasol and Mike Bibby. Trade deadline day in the NBA was all talk, almost no action. There were three minor deals Thursday involving four players, and even the guys who were expected to make moves were surprised so little happened. "There was so much speculation. so many things going on regarding some pretty high profile players , for none of it to n11ne to fruition is a little st1rprisi ng for me." New Jersey president Rod Thorn said. "But historically, 98 percent that might be t<tlked about of a serious nature never gets done at this time of year. for whatever reason ." Thorn held on to AllStars Kidd and Curter, who were frequently mentioned in tn1de speculation. The slumping Los Angeles Lakers were trying to land Kidd . who sounded resigned ·to a deal in the last few days. Instead, the Nets will hope to get healthy - they confirmed Thursday that Kidd has a cracked rib along with the sore back that knocked him out of the All-Star game - before in the !52-pound weight class. Phillip Allen abo moved on in the 112-pound weight class when he pinned T.J. Thompson of Independence in just 3:08. Anthony letTers, another favorite to make it to the state finals in the 160pound class. scored a pinfall m just I :04 over his first round opponent Josh Zirkle of Phillip Barbour. Also claiming first round wins were Jared Searls in the 119-pound class. who defeated Pat Neis of Wheelin g Central in a major decision, Eric Veith, who won 5-4 over Cliff White of Lincoln in the 140-pound class, Tre Pyles. who pinned Todd Sullivan of Richwood in I :08 in the 145pound class and Colby McCoy who won by decision over Cullen Grover of Tyler Consolidated in the 189-pound division. Still, just making it to the state tournament is quite 'Y' accomplishment and the competitors making first round exits can still hang their heads high on a great season . Caleb Duong fell by a 4-1 ~ecision to Derek Hovermale of Berkely Springs in the IOJ-pound class. Tommy Stark of Keyser pinned Matt McCormick in 2:54 in the 125-pound class, Chris McDennin fell in a 3- 1 decision tu Cody' Maci ver of Williamstown in the 135pound dass and Bemon Shirley was pirined by James Smith of Gilbert in I :43 in the heavyweight di vision .

Friday's wrestling action at the state tournament being at II :30 a.m. with quarterfinal action in the championship bracket and t1rst and second round action in the consolation bracket. Championship semitinals and third round consolation matches will begin around 7:30p.m. The tournament wraps up Saturday with consolation semifinals and consolation finals for third and fifth place beginning at II a.m. and championship tinals for both Class AAA and Class AA-A will begin around 6 p.m. so do the end of the season and try to make a run in the weak Eastern Conference . , "Knowing the compctitive spirit that Rod Thorn has, he was never going to go into fire sale mode," Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo said .. "It probably was an option that they considered." Colangelo made the only trade that involved multipic NBA players. sending guard Fred Jones to Portland for guard Juan Dixon. Jones, who played at Oregon and lives in the Portland area, had fallen out of the Raptors' rotation. The Dallas Mavericks dealt backup point guard Anthony Johnson to Atlanta for a second-round pick, and Philadelphia sent veteran Alan Henderson to Utah it~ another deal where picks were involved. So where were the big trades'' "It sounded like there were deals that were on the table as late as noon today," Colangelo said. "Why they didn't happen, I can't tell you." Cleveland was hoping to make one, talking to Sacramento about acquiring point guard Mike Bibby. But the Cavaliers weren't interested in including any of their younger core. so decided to · keep what they have sur- rounding LeBron James. "My job is to look at how we can have sustainable success to go for it this year, but have sustainable success," Cavs GM Danny Ferry said. "Putting all that together, the deals that were hrought to us, I didn't think they made sense. And ultimately we couldn't find a good partner." The Cavs may not need a deal. anyway. They entered Thursday with the secondbes(record in the East, and are one of a number of teams who have to like their chances better now that the Miami Heat could be without Dwyane Wade for a while. . "I didn't get involved in any trade talks and none of my teammates did either. Whatever happened, happened," James said. "As professionals we move on, but we're very excited that we ' re all together still. ... At the end of the day. we're happy that we . have some stability and guys are ready to move on and play the second half of the season." Wade 's InJury Wednesday night may have made a team such as New Jersey thi11k twice about making a move . He went down with a dislocated left shoulder, an injury that could leave the Heat without the NBA finals MVP for quite some time. Miami is eighth in the East. with no guarantee of a playoff spot "if Wade has an extended absence. "You look at the landscape and it is exactly where it was yesterday with one big exception: I think Miami is probably reeling after the injury 10 Dwyane," Colangelo said. "You hate to see that. but it will affect the playoff race. Everyone else is largely the same." There's also the lure of a strong draft class that could be highlighted by freshmen Greg Oden of Ohio State and Kevin Durant of Texas. The Memphi s Grizzlie s have been looking for a deal for Gasol for some time, but realized they may have better options by waiting for the summer. after they know where they land in the draft lottery. ·So, the big deals will have to wait until the summer. "There's alway s much more rhetoric at this time of year from people," Thorn said , •·and seldom does anything of substance get done."

NASCAR tu...... lnto~·comedy routiM Marlin's new team includes veterans Nemechek, Martin By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Sterling Marlin has always had a knack for racing at Daytona and Talladega, as evidenced by the fact that he is one of only three drivers ever lo win the Daytona 500 in consecutive years. Marlin hopes new ownership will breathe new life into his fortunes. Formerly MB2, the team is now known as Ginn Racing, and it is NASCAR's bastion of veteran drivers. Marlin and Joe Nemechek are the fulltime drivers, while Mark Martin who nearly won this year's Daytona 500 - is sharing the team's No. 01 Chevrolet with young Regan Smith. "When Bobby (Ginn) purchased the team last year, it was like he lifted a cloud that had been hanging over the organization," said Marlin. "He came in and talked about the future and his five-year plan about becoming a successful team and really brought some excitement and confidence to everyone at the shop." Marlin, from Columbia, Tenn., has won 10 races at NASCAR's top level, the most recent occurring in 2002 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. He won the Daytona 500 in 1994 and 1995. All he had to show for the 2006 season, however,·was a single top-10 finish. "We didn't get the results we hoped for, but I think we made a lot of progress in our performances, especially toward the end of the season," said Marlin. "The last few races after 'Slugger' (crew chief Richard Labbe) came on board, things really improved. We didn't have much luck in the final10 races, but the car ran a lot better."

NASCAR tu...... lnto~·comedy routiM Marlin's new team includes veterans Nemechek, Martin By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Sterling Marlin has always had a knack for racing at Daytona and Talladega, as evidenced by the fact that he is one of only three drivers ever lo win the Daytona 500 in consecutive years. Marlin hopes new ownership will breathe new life into his fortunes. Formerly MB2, the team is now known as Ginn Racing, and it is NASCAR's bastion of veteran drivers. Marlin and Joe Nemechek are the fulltime drivers, while Mark Martin who nearly won this year's Daytona 500 - is sharing the team's No. 01 Chevrolet with young Regan Smith. "When Bobby (Ginn) purchased the team last year, it was like he lifted a cloud that had been hanging over the organization," said Marlin. "He came in and talked about the future and his five-year plan about becoming a successful team and really brought some excitement and confidence to everyone at the shop." Marlin, from Columbia, Tenn., has won 10 races at NASCAR's top level, the most recent occurring in 2002 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. He won the Daytona 500 in 1994 and 1995. All he had to show for the 2006 season, however,·was a single top-10 finish. "We didn't get the results we hoped for, but I think we made a lot of progress in our performances, especially toward the end of the season," said Marlin. "The last few races after 'Slugger' (crew chief Richard Labbe) came on board, things really improved. We didn't have much luck in the final10 races, but the car ran a lot better." The Daytona 500 was the 7J21h start of Marlin's career. "I think I'm lucky to have seen this sport from where it came from and have also gotten to see where it's gone," he said. "The transition over the years has been amazing, and I'm honored to have been a part of it." Marlin, 49, is a lifelong fan of the Tennessee Volunteers, and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning is a friend . "He's one of the greats," said Marlin of Manning.

At this time for everyone; you'll have to weight a variety of factors, including your other sources of income, your age at retirement and your expected life span. Keep in mind that, although you can start taking Social Security at age 62, your monthly checks will be larger if you wait until your full retirement age, which can be anywhere from 65 to 67. For every year past your normal retirement age that you delay collecting benefits, you 'II get "bonus" payments, which can be substantial. Once you reach 70, you'll have earned the largest monthly payment you're going to get. Your financial professional can help you determine the appropnate strategies for drawing on your investment income and retirement plans.

'Do it yourself' estate planning BY a lfW' ILtiWt Today, with the Internet, it is possible to gather the information necessary to attempt your own estate plan. However, I would compare it to walkin~ in a mine field. Estate planning 1s not for the novice. I see so-called "professional" estate planners, investment advisors and insurance agents claiming to be estate planners making costly mistakes every day. There are too many people giving inappropriate adv1ce today. Legitimate estate plans and techniques that are constantly monitored and designed to adapt to changes, can't be learned by osmosis. Some common mistakes I see are wills and trusts done prior to Sept. 12, 1981 , that are likely to contain language that does not allow for a couple to take full advantage of the unlimited marital deduction. This may result in unnecessary estate taxation at the ftrst death. Most people don't have a power of attorney, a cheap and easy toel that plays an increasingly important role in estate plans as Americans live longer, 1ncreasing the risk that a courtordered guardianship or nursing home stay may be necessary. This expensive and cumbersome process can be avoided with proper powers of alto~>: in place for health care dec1s1ons and financial management. These documents allow a person or persons of your choice to step into your shoes and make decisions for you regarding your health, such as what care you will receive, who will provide it, wbere you will be treated, and how it will ·be paid foe.._ . A power of attmney1'or financial matters will allow your attorney-in-fact to make. pro~rty management and dispos1t1on decisions for you, access your retirement accounts for living expenses, file your tax returns and make future estate ~g decisions, includin~ gifts and fonnatioos of trusts, if necessary.

Yet most people don't know much more about it than that. Here's a short list of interesting facts about Social Security. (I) Social Security benefits do not automatically start coming in the mail the frrst day of Normal Retirement Age. They must be applied for. The easiest way is to set up an appointment with the local Social Security office or call 1-800-772-1213. (2) To get an official statement of all the earnings recorded in your Social Security account, an estimate of your current disability and death benefits, and an estimate of future retirement benefits, fill out a Form #7004 Request for Social Security . Statement, obtainable at your local office . (3) If you do not find and correct errors in your Social Security record within three years, they become part of your permanent record. Therefore, you might want to check on them every three years or so. (4) You can work during retirement, but if you earn too much it will reduce the size of the benefit~ you are receiving from age 62 up to your Normal Retirement Age. The limits on such earnings are currently $12,960 for 2007. Benefits are reduced by $1 for every $2 that you earn over this amount. After you attain your Normal Retirement Age, you may work as much as you want with no reduction in benefits, although they may become taxable if you earn too much. (5) You.can increase the size of your retirement benefit by delaying collecting your benefits and by remaining on the job past full retirement age. This higher benefit comes from extra earnings toward your account and a credit awarded for this patience, nmging from 3 percent to 8 percent of your benefit depending on your date of birth. (6) For people born after 1937, Normal Retirement Age will increase. For example, if you were born in 1940, full retirement age is 65 and 6 months; born in 1950, it is 66. AnybodY. born in 1960 or later will be eligtble at age 67. (7) Social Security disability benefits do not continue past Normal Retirement Age. The month before you attain normal retirement age the disability benefits are automatically converted to retirement benefit~. ........ Sodll s.a.tt,. .... 15 I HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT ..

At this time for everyone; you'll have to weight a variety of factors, including your other sources of income, your age at retirement and your expected life span. Keep in mind that, although you can start taking Social Security at age 62, your monthly checks will be larger if you wait until your full retirement age, which can be anywhere from 65 to 67. For every year past your normal retirement age that you delay collecting benefits, you 'II get "bonus" payments, which can be substantial. Once you reach 70, you'll have earned the largest monthly payment you're going to get. Your financial professional can help you determine the appropnate strategies for drawing on your investment income and retirement plans.

'Do it yourself' estate planning BY a lfW' ILtiWt Today, with the Internet, it is possible to gather the information necessary to attempt your own estate plan. However, I would compare it to walkin~ in a mine field. Estate planning 1s not for the novice. I see so-called "professional" estate planners, investment advisors and insurance agents claiming to be estate planners making costly mistakes every day. There are too many people giving inappropriate adv1ce today. Legitimate estate plans and techniques that are constantly monitored and designed to adapt to changes, can't be learned by osmosis. Some common mistakes I see are wills and trusts done prior to Sept. 12, 1981 , that are likely to contain language that does not allow for a couple to take full advantage of the unlimited marital deduction. This may result in unnecessary estate taxation at the ftrst death. Most people don't have a power of attorney, a cheap and easy toel that plays an increasingly important role in estate plans as Americans live longer, 1ncreasing the risk that a courtordered guardianship or nursing home stay may be necessary. This expensive and cumbersome process can be avoided with proper powers of alto~>: in place for health care dec1s1ons and financial management. These documents allow a person or persons of your choice to step into your shoes and make decisions for you regarding your health, such as what care you will receive, who will provide it, wbere you will be treated, and how it will ·be paid foe.._ . A power of attmney1'or financial matters will allow your attorney-in-fact to make. pro~rty management and dispos1t1on decisions for you, access your retirement accounts for living expenses, file your tax returns and make future estate ~g decisions, includin~ gifts and fonnatioos of trusts, if necessary. Improper beneficiary desl~­ tions for life insurance, annu1ties and retirement accounts can tum an estate plan upside down. For ........ ~ .... 14 2007 Retirement Edition Friday, February 23, l007 • Page 3 10 things you may not have known about Social Security Social Security is a lot like the ozone layer - we all know it's there now and we count on it being there in the future . Yet most people don't know much more about it than that. Here's a short list of interesting facts about Social Security. (I) Social Security benefits do not automatically start coming in the mail the frrst day of Normal Retirement Age. They must be applied for. The easiest way is to set up an appointment with the local Social Security office or call 1-800-772-1213. (2) To get an official statement of all the earnings recorded in your Social Security account, an estimate of your current disability and death benefits, and an estimate of future retirement benefits, fill out a Form #7004 Request for Social Security . Statement, obtainable at your local office . (3) If you do not find and correct errors in your Social Security record within three years, they become part of your permanent record. Therefore, you might want to check on them every three years or so. (4) You can work during retirement, but if you earn too much it will reduce the size of the benefit~ you are receiving from age 62 up to your Normal Retirement Age. The limits on such earnings are currently $12,960 for 2007. Benefits are reduced by $1 for every $2 that you earn over this amount. After you attain your Normal Retirement Age, you may work as much as you want with no reduction in benefits, although they may become taxable if you earn too much. (5) You.can increase the size of your retirement benefit by delaying collecting your benefits and by remaining on the job past full retirement age. This higher benefit comes from extra earnings toward your account and a credit awarded for this patience, nmging from 3 percent to 8 percent of your benefit depending on your date of birth. (6) For people born after 1937, Normal Retirement Age will increase. For example, if you were born in 1940, full retirement age is 65 and 6 months; born in 1950, it is 66. AnybodY. born in 1960 or later will be eligtble at age 67. (7) Social Security disability benefits do not continue past Normal Retirement Age. The month before you attain normal retirement age the disability benefits are automatically converted to retirement benefit~. ........ Sodll s.a.tt,. .... 15 I HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT ..

"Lifeline is a unique personal emergency response system that provides people of all ages with around-the-clock access to emergency assistance, simply at the press of a button.

Republicans, in announcing their intent to dismantle the estate tax last week, insist that it discourages people from living here. Former Gov. Bob Taft, a Republican, successfully used a similar argument two years ago to cut personal income taxes and restructure business taxes. But when it comes to the estate tax , many economic studies in other states have not found strong evidence tllat it causes families to pick up and leave, argues Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal-leaning think tank. Ohio requires the tax on estates worth more than $338,333 before distribution to heirs or other beneficiaries. If the estate is transferred to a spouse, no tax is due . It's true tllat warm-weatller states that attract people age 65 and older - Nevada, Arizona, Aorida and Texas - don't collect estate taxes, McNichol said. But most people choose to retire based on factors such as closeness to family members, climate and access to quality health care and transportation services , she said. Kathy Keller, a spokeswoman for the AARP in Ohio, said those kinds of quality-of-life issues play a greater role in retirement planning than the estate tax . "It's not something that our average member brings up ," Keller said. How much people pay depends on their wealth .

Each option offers a uniquely different experience, depending on the individual's needs . Retirement community These are often age-restricted, so younger retirees looking for a place to rest their head during weeks when they 're not out jetsetting around the world might not qualify. Typically, retirement communities are limited to people ages 55 and over, or ages 62 and over. The former communities are open to residents under the minimum age as long as they live with someone who meets the requirement. The latter communities, however, often require all residents meet the minimum age standard. Retirement communities are also more attuned to active senior citizens, who prefer activities, which are typically offered by the community. Laws used to mandate such activities be offered, but that's no longer the case. Still, most communities have maintained the practice, making these places one of the more ideal options for seniors looking to lessen some of their 9'Cl,u J£ ... e/Vcls'&ou... responsibility but maintain an active lifestyle. Congregate housing Congregate housing is similar to senior apartments . Seniors live in separate apartments that they can either rent or purchase. Congregate housing typically offers programs for recreation and other opportunities for seniors to get to know their neighbors. Oftentimes, seniors who choose to live in such communities do so within a relatively small proximity to where they owned their home, meaning they 're more likely to sec familiar faces. In addition to recreation, congregate housing also typically offers additional services. such as Alzheimer's care,assisted living and even nursing in separate residences on the premise. Planned meals. trips, and even regular religious services (be they on-premises or organized as trips) are also typical of these living situations.

Each option offers a uniquely different experience, depending on the individual's needs . Retirement community These are often age-restricted, so younger retirees looking for a place to rest their head during weeks when they 're not out jetsetting around the world might not qualify. Typically, retirement communities are limited to people ages 55 and over, or ages 62 and over. The former communities are open to residents under the minimum age as long as they live with someone who meets the requirement. The latter communities, however, often require all residents meet the minimum age standard. Retirement communities are also more attuned to active senior citizens, who prefer activities, which are typically offered by the community. Laws used to mandate such activities be offered, but that's no longer the case. Still, most communities have maintained the practice, making these places one of the more ideal options for seniors looking to lessen some of their 9'Cl,u J£ ... e/Vcls'&ou... responsibility but maintain an active lifestyle. Congregate housing Congregate housing is similar to senior apartments . Seniors live in separate apartments that they can either rent or purchase. Congregate housing typically offers programs for recreation and other opportunities for seniors to get to know their neighbors. Oftentimes, seniors who choose to live in such communities do so within a relatively small proximity to where they owned their home, meaning they 're more likely to sec familiar faces. In addition to recreation, congregate housing also typically offers additional services. such as Alzheimer's care,assisted living and even nursing in separate residences on the premise. Planned meals. trips, and even regular religious services (be they on-premises or organized as trips) are also typical of these living situations.

Not knowing what to expect, where to go or whether you 'II be able to balance everything can certainly fill your stomach with nervous butterflies. But as daunting a task as reentering the world of academia can seem, there must be a reason you've decided to do just that.

"They look at Ohio versus some place like Florida and say, 'OK. What's this ~oing to cost me if I stay here?'' Latta said. Latta said it's not just the wealthy who get hit by Ohio's estate tax. "For middle-class families who have a house and other assets, it doesn't take long to get to $338.000," he said . Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland opposes the plan by Republicans who control the Legislature. He said cutting Ohio's estate tax now would be inappropriate because overall growth m tax revenues will not meet expectations, leaving budget planners with $1 billion to $1.5 billion less than projected to spend on government programs. Michigan Gov. · Jennifer Granholm, also a Democrat, called on lawmakers this month Friday, February 13,200'7 to reinstate an estate tax to fix a budget shortfall in her state. Nancy Sponseller, an attorney and estate planner in suburban Columbus, said Ohio's estate tax is a concern for some wealthy clients. But she sees another trend: Retirees moving to Florida or Texas only to return to Ohio when they begin to have health problems. "I see it all the time," Sponseller said . "Seniors get sick and they want to come back to Ohio to be with their families . So they end up dying a resident of Ohio." There are ways for people to avoid or reduce the estate tax, such as setting up trusts or making tax-free gifts to charities, Sponseller said. Supporters of Ohio's estate tax, which began in 1968, say it encourages charitable giving, prevents wealth from being concentrated in the hands of a few and taxes some accumulated capital that was never taxed in the first place. example, if a spouse dies leaving an old 401(k) plan or companysponsored group term life msurance to an ex-spouse, his estate will be taxed for the transfer and the tax in most cases will be paid from the current spouse's inheritance. Another common error occurs when an insurance agent or broker simply names someone's estate as the beneticiary of a retirement plan resulting in the immediate mcursion of applicable income taxes that might have been deferred by an individual beneficiary. These are just a few of the many pitfalls you need to avoid. The best advice is to consult with a professional estate planner before you lose your options.

'311- �2007 Retirement Mtion Page 14 • GOP Estate - .. ____ SUMMER IS JUST AROUND THE ,. from Page2 from PageS proves the estate tax is driving Ohioans out of state, but he's had numerous complaints from constituents planning their retirements. "They look at Ohio versus some place like Florida and say, 'OK. What's this ~oing to cost me if I stay here?'' Latta said. Latta said it's not just the wealthy who get hit by Ohio's estate tax. "For middle-class families who have a house and other assets, it doesn't take long to get to $338.000," he said . Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland opposes the plan by Republicans who control the Legislature. He said cutting Ohio's estate tax now would be inappropriate because overall growth m tax revenues will not meet expectations, leaving budget planners with $1 billion to $1.5 billion less than projected to spend on government programs. Michigan Gov. · Jennifer Granholm, also a Democrat, called on lawmakers this month Friday, February 13,200'7 to reinstate an estate tax to fix a budget shortfall in her state. Nancy Sponseller, an attorney and estate planner in suburban Columbus, said Ohio's estate tax is a concern for some wealthy clients. But she sees another trend: Retirees moving to Florida or Texas only to return to Ohio when they begin to have health problems. "I see it all the time," Sponseller said . "Seniors get sick and they want to come back to Ohio to be with their families . So they end up dying a resident of Ohio." There are ways for people to avoid or reduce the estate tax, such as setting up trusts or making tax-free gifts to charities, Sponseller said. Supporters of Ohio's estate tax, which began in 1968, say it encourages charitable giving, prevents wealth from being concentrated in the hands of a few and taxes some accumulated capital that was never taxed in the first place. example, if a spouse dies leaving an old 401(k) plan or companysponsored group term life msurance to an ex-spouse, his estate will be taxed for the transfer and the tax in most cases will be paid from the current spouse's inheritance. Another common error occurs when an insurance agent or broker simply names someone's estate as the beneticiary of a retirement plan resulting in the immediate mcursion of applicable income taxes that might have been deferred by an individual beneficiary. These are just a few of the many pitfalls you need to avoid. The best advice is to consult with a professional estate planner before you lose your options.

REED BREED@MYOAILYS ENT INEL .CO M POMEROY Five Republican candidates for village offices in Middleport and Pomeroy will advance to the November general election without a May primary. Mike Gerlach is the sole candidate for mayor in Middleport. A second candidate, Craig Wehrung. withdrew his petition as a Republi<:an <:andidate fur mayor and said Thursday he will file. instead. as an inde- pendent candidate before the May I filing deadline. No partisan candidates filed for the two open council seats in Middleport. Shawn A. Rice filed as an independent candidate. Pomeroy . Mayor John as a Musser filed Republican candidate for re-election, as did <:ouncil members Ruth Spaun and Shawn Amott. Victor Young Ill withdrew his petition as a Republican candidate for Pomeroy mayor and said he, too, plans to file as an independent candidate, instead. Young and Wehrung said they withdrew their peti tions after learning a contested primary race would cost their respective villages between $3,000 and $4.000. Young said he also feels it will be better to give voters a choice of candidates in the ge neral election. Villages, townships and school boards are assessed the cost of elections held in odd-numbered years. Although the political subdivisions will still be responsible for election costs in November, those costs will be divided among all 27 precincts in the county and the political subdivisions in each precinct with races and issues on the ballm. Jane Frymyer. deputy director of the Meigs County Board of Elections. said the cost of the November general election will run approximately $27,000. That cost will be divided among the voting precincts, and then 'among the political subdivisions in that precinct based on the costs of running the elec- tions there, and deducted from the real estate tax settlements paid to them. A 3-mill levy for operating expenses proposed b>: Middleport Village Counctl will also appear on the November ballot , rather than in May. The levy was withdrawn by Middleport Councilman Ferman Moore. acting on behalf of Fiscal Officer Susan Baker, in order to save the costs of the primary election, according to Frymyer.
