(AP) - Matt Kenseth put the disappointment of Daytona well behind him Sunday, driving away with his second victory of the weekend and second NASCAR at Nextel Cup win California Speedway. Kenseth. who got caught up in the last-lap melee the previou., 1\eck at the Daytona 500 and wound up 27th after starting that lap in third, stayed away from trouble Sunday in the Auto Club 500. He got the lead for good with a fast pit stop during a caution period just 23 laps from the tmish. The victory, his 15th in Cup, came with engineer Chip Bolin sitting in for suspended crew chief Robbie Reiser, sent home for four races after the team was caught cheating at the beginning of Daytona's Speedweek~ And it came less than 24 hours after the 2003 Cup champion won the Busch Series races on the same 2-mile oval. " It's a special one," said Kenseth. who broke the transmission on his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford as he spun his tires in a postrace celebration. "It's not without Robbie though. He spent the week at home while we were at Daytona bui !ding this car. Robbie built this team."· Kevin Harvick. who swept the Busch and Cup races at Daytona, came out of the tina) pit stop in second and was making up ground up Kenseth until rookie David Reutimann and former series champion Bobby Labonte crashed on lap 243 of the 250-lap event. NASCAR red-flagged the race to give safety ofticials time to clean up the debris from the wreck. Once the cars were restarted, Harvil:k found he had a deflating left front tire and had to pit. Three-time California winner Jeff Gordon. the only other multiple Cup race winner here, jumped past Jetf Burton into second on the restart with four laps to go, but couldn't get clnse to challenge enough Kenseth the rest of the way. Defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who tinished 39th at Daytona, also bounced back with a thirdplace finish Sunday, followed by Burton.

Reformers and conservatives said such tough talk only inflames the West as it considers further sanctions. The criticism came even as new signs have arisen that Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is growin~ discontented with Ahmadmejad, whom he is believed to have supported in 2005 presidential elections. Last week, Khamenei voiced rare criticism of the domestic performance of governAhmadinejad's ment. and the president was notably absent when a group of Cabinet members and vice presidents met with Khamenei, who has the final word in .all political affairs in Iran, including the nuclear issue. The increasing criticism reflects public worries about the course of the country's confrontation with the United States and the West. Washington has taken a more aggressive stance toward· Iran. building up the U.S . military presence in the Gulf and accusing Tehran of backing militants in Iraq. That has heightened fears among Iranians of possible U.S. ·military action. On Monday. the U.S., the four other permanent members of the Security Council and Germany began work .on a new U.N. resolution that could impose funher sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program after U.N. Tehran rejected .demands it stop enriching ·uranium. · In December, the U.N. Security Council imposed limited sanctions on Iran over its refusal to suspend enrichment l!,lld gave it a 60-day grace period to stop. That deadline expired last Wednesday. Enriched to a low level. uranium is used to produce nuclear fuel but highly enriched uranium can be used in · an atomic bomb. However, sharp differences appear to remain between the tough U.S. position and what Russia and China, veto-holding council members with close ties to Iran, are willing to accept. In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the diplomats would hold a telephone conference Thursday to continue talks on the specific elements of the document. On the eve of the gathering, Ahmadinejad struck a defiant tone. He told a group of clerics that Iran's nuclear ambitions were unstoppable. "The train of the Iranian nation is without brakes and a rear gear ... We dismantled the reverse gear and brakes of the train and · threw them away some time ago," he said. Those comments brought a hail of condemnations in Iran on Monday. not only from reformists who have long opposed Ahmadinejad, but also from conservatives who once backed him bm now see his fiery rhetoric as needlessly provoking the West. "Why are you speaking a language that causes a per- son to be ashamed"" wrote the reformist daily Etemade-Melli. or N.ational Confidence. " A train's brakes are needed to reach its destination safely." it said. "You represent the voters of the great Iranian nation. Speak equal to the name and dignity uf this nation." The conservative daily Resalat chided Ahmadinejad. saying ··neither weakness nor unnecessarily offensive language is acceptable in foreign policy." Libby trial jury finishes 4th day without verdict, minus 1 juror BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - After the judge dismissed one of it s members. the jury tinished a fourth day of deliberations Monday without a verdict in the. perjury trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Most of the morning was consumed by deciding what to do about an art historian on the jury who saw or read something over the weekend about the trial. After interviewing her in private along with lawyers in the case, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ruled that " what she had exposure to obviously disqualifies her." The judge let the jurors continue deliberating with just II members after the defense endorsed that option. He overruled prosecutors who asked htm to seat one of two alternate jurors who heard the trial and remain on standby. Walton said he didn't want to "throw away two and a half days" of discussions the jury has had since getting the case at midday last Wednesday. If an alternate had been seated, the jury would have been required to begin its deliberations over from the beginning. The jury returns Tuesday. Libby. who was chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. is accused of obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, whose husband was a prominent Iraq war critic Walton never disclosed ... what the juror had seen. but he concluded the exposure was not intentional and resulted from a misunderstanding of his orders. He has ordered jurors to avoid media coverage of the case • Parcel post, 5 pounds, and to stay off the Internet. $5.67. up from $4.36. Postal Commission backs 'forever' stamp,.2-cent hike in letter rate Bv RANDOLPH · E. SCHMID ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - Say goodbye to those pesky land 2-cent stamps that used to clutter up desks and purses every time the price of mailing a letter went up. A new "forever" stamp good for mailing a letter no matter how much rates rise was recommended Monday by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. The panel also called for a 2-<:ent increase in ftrst-class rates to 41 cents, a penny less than the post office had sought. In addition, the changes would sharp!y scale back the price of heavier letters. "Adoption of this proposal is good for the Postal Service, postal customers and our postal system," commission chairman Dan G. Blair said at a briefing. A forever stamp would not cairy a denomination, but would sell for whatever the tirst-class rate was at the time. For example, if the 41-cent rate takes effect. forever stamps would sell for 41 cents. If rates later climbed to 45 cents or more, the price of the forever stamp would also go up at the counter or machine; but those purcffitsed before the change would still be valid to mail a letter. So there would be no need to buy small-denomination stamps to add to envelopes. Currently. first-class mail costs 39 cents for the frrst ounce and 24 cents for each additioru~ ounce. While the first ounce would rise to 41 cents under the proposal, it would cost just· 17 cents for each additional ounce. That means the price of sending a two-ounre letter would actually decrease from 63 cents to 58 cents. 1lle proposal also recommended a 2-cent boost, lo 26 cents, in the cost of mailing a post card. also a penny less than the Postal .. Service had sought. Blair said the rate proposals were scaled bock because the higher mtes the post office proposed would have raised mo~ income than llC(essaTy for the service to break even in 2008.

Reformers and conservatives said such tough talk only inflames the West as it considers further sanctions. The criticism came even as new signs have arisen that Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is growin~ discontented with Ahmadmejad, whom he is believed to have supported in 2005 presidential elections. Last week, Khamenei voiced rare criticism of the domestic performance of governAhmadinejad's ment. and the president was notably absent when a group of Cabinet members and vice presidents met with Khamenei, who has the final word in .all political affairs in Iran, including the nuclear issue. The increasing criticism reflects public worries about the course of the country's confrontation with the United States and the West. Washington has taken a more aggressive stance toward· Iran. building up the U.S . military presence in the Gulf and accusing Tehran of backing militants in Iraq. That has heightened fears among Iranians of possible U.S. ·military action. On Monday. the U.S., the four other permanent members of the Security Council and Germany began work .on a new U.N. resolution that could impose funher sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program after U.N. Tehran rejected .demands it stop enriching ·uranium. · In December, the U.N. Security Council imposed limited sanctions on Iran over its refusal to suspend enrichment l!,lld gave it a 60-day grace period to stop. That deadline expired last Wednesday. Enriched to a low level. uranium is used to produce nuclear fuel but highly enriched uranium can be used in · an atomic bomb. However, sharp differences appear to remain between the tough U.S. position and what Russia and China, veto-holding council members with close ties to Iran, are willing to accept. In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the diplomats would hold a telephone conference Thursday to continue talks on the specific elements of the document. On the eve of the gathering, Ahmadinejad struck a defiant tone. He told a group of clerics that Iran's nuclear ambitions were unstoppable. "The train of the Iranian nation is without brakes and a rear gear ... We dismantled the reverse gear and brakes of the train and · threw them away some time ago," he said. Those comments brought a hail of condemnations in Iran on Monday. not only from reformists who have long opposed Ahmadinejad, but also from conservatives who once backed him bm now see his fiery rhetoric as needlessly provoking the West. "Why are you speaking a language that causes a per- son to be ashamed"" wrote the reformist daily Etemade-Melli. or N.ational Confidence. " A train's brakes are needed to reach its destination safely." it said. "You represent the voters of the great Iranian nation. Speak equal to the name and dignity uf this nation." The conservative daily Resalat chided Ahmadinejad. saying ··neither weakness nor unnecessarily offensive language is acceptable in foreign policy." Libby trial jury finishes 4th day without verdict, minus 1 juror BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - After the judge dismissed one of it s members. the jury tinished a fourth day of deliberations Monday without a verdict in the. perjury trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Most of the morning was consumed by deciding what to do about an art historian on the jury who saw or read something over the weekend about the trial. After interviewing her in private along with lawyers in the case, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ruled that " what she had exposure to obviously disqualifies her." The judge let the jurors continue deliberating with just II members after the defense endorsed that option. He overruled prosecutors who asked htm to seat one of two alternate jurors who heard the trial and remain on standby. Walton said he didn't want to "throw away two and a half days" of discussions the jury has had since getting the case at midday last Wednesday. If an alternate had been seated, the jury would have been required to begin its deliberations over from the beginning. The jury returns Tuesday. Libby. who was chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. is accused of obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, whose husband was a prominent Iraq war critic Walton never disclosed ... what the juror had seen. but he concluded the exposure was not intentional and resulted from a misunderstanding of his orders.

Postal Commission backs 'forever' stamp,.2-cent hike in letter rate Bv RANDOLPH · E. SCHMID ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - Say goodbye to those pesky land 2-cent stamps that used to clutter up desks and purses every time the price of mailing a letter went up. A new "forever" stamp good for mailing a letter no matter how much rates rise was recommended Monday by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. The panel also called for a 2-<:ent increase in ftrst-class rates to 41 cents, a penny less than the post office had sought. In addition, the changes would sharp!y scale back the price of heavier letters. "Adoption of this proposal is good for the Postal Service, postal customers and our postal system," commission chairman Dan G. Blair said at a briefing. A forever stamp would not cairy a denomination, but would sell for whatever the tirst-class rate was at the time. For example, if the 41-cent rate takes effect. forever stamps would sell for 41 cents. If rates later climbed to 45 cents or more, the price of the forever stamp would also go up at the counter or machine; but those purcffitsed before the change would still be valid to mail a letter. So there would be no need to buy small-denomination stamps to add to envelopes. Currently. first-class mail costs 39 cents for the frrst ounce and 24 cents for each additioru~ ounce. While the first ounce would rise to 41 cents under the proposal, it would cost just· 17 cents for each additional ounce. That means the price of sending a two-ounre letter would actually decrease from 63 cents to 58 cents. 1lle proposal also recommended a 2-cent boost, lo 26 cents, in the cost of mailing a post card. also a penny less than the Postal .. Service had sought. Blair said the rate proposals were scaled bock because the higher mtes the post office proposed would have raised mo~ income than llC(essaTy for the service to break even in 2008. The proposal also suggested changes in a variety of other rdtes including a 17cent surcharge on "oddshaped" mail that cannot be processed using letter-sorting machines.

On this date: In 180 I, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congre5'. In 1922, the Supreme Court. in Leser v. Garnett. unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution that guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1933. Geqnany's parliament building. the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. The Nazis, blaming the Communists. used the lire as justification for suspending civil liberties. In 1939, the Supreme Court outlawed sit-down strikes.

A mob of Muslims set fire to a train carry ing hundreds of Hindu nationalists in Godhra, India; some 60 people died.

One year ago: "The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown was accused in Britain's High Court of taking material for his blockbuster conspiracy thriller from a 19~2 book about the Holy Grail.

Thought for Today: "He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coal of mail thai none can pierce." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). As Uangerous as President Bush's record on Iraq may be to Republican presidential candidates in 2008, Democrats also are risking revival of fears that their party is weak on foreign policy. If Democratic candidates embrace the strategy of Rep. John Murtha, DPa.. to cut off funds for U.S. troops in Iraq. they deserve to be compared to the losers of the past George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Waller Mondale. Michael Dukakis and Sen. John Kerry. D-Mass. All lost presidential dec lions - often by landslides - mainly because voters perceived them as being unreliable in protecting the country from foreign adversaries . This year, as in the past, the force-averse liberal base of the party is demanding ever-stronger larger military, a better intelligem:e service and funding during. at·tual war operations.

He called the results disappointing but said it's still possible garlic might improve cholesterol when eaten in bigger doses or by people with more severe chole sterol problems. Also, garlic could have characteristics other than influencing cholesterol that might benelit the heart, he said. The study appears in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine. An Archives editorial agreed and said "the jury is still out" on whether garlic might prevent cardiovascular disease. The study involved 192 adults aged about 50 on average with moderately elevated levels of LDL cholesterol , the bad kind that . contributes to heart disease. The average LDL level was 140 milligrams per deciliter of blood, or in the border- line-high range. Below I00 is considered ideal. Participants were randomly assigned to eat the equivalent of an average clove of garlic in either raw form or garlic pills. or dummy pills. six days weekly for six-months . Raw garlic was mixed into salsa, fat-free mayonnaise or other condiments spread on portobello mushroom sandwiches, chicken quesadillas and other specialty sandwiches. Participants in the garlic pill and dummy ~!ill groups also got sandwrches, but without garlic. Bad breath and body odor were reponed by more than half the ·raw garlic eaters, and a handful of people in the supplement groups reported tlatulence, but there were no major side effects . There also was virtually no effect on cholesterol levels in any of the groups. Healthy as medically under served in whole or in part. A survey showed that more often than not, individuals allow their chronic disease conditions to become acute which then results in a hospitalization which could have been prevented. The five top chronic conditions (disease processes) thai result in preventable hospitalizations in this area are asthma, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and hypertension. Because of the high incident of chronic diseases in Ohio, the state was awarded a grant from the Administration on A~ing and the National Councrl on Aging in the amount of $850,000 over a three year period to implement health promotion. The Ohio Department of Aging, the Ohio Department of Health. and six Ohio Area Agencies on Aging will implement and evaluate programs dealing with self-management of chronic diseases.

AP MEDICAl WRITER CHICAGO Garlic doesn't do much ' for the breath and it stinks for lowenng cholesterol. Thai's the conclusion of. the most rigorous. head-to-head st udy of raw garlic and popular garlic supplements, despite promoters' claims to the contrary. Whether it was eaten raw in heart-healthy sandwiches, or in pills made of powdered or aged garlic, the strongsmelling herb had no effect on cholesterol in people whose levels were already elevated, the governmentfunded study found. "If garlic was going to have a chance to work, it would have worked in this study." said researcher Christopher Gardner. But it didn't. Garlic is a longtime folk remedy for a variety of ills. including heart disease, cancer. infections and even mosquito bites. Scientific research on its purported benefits has had cOnflicting results. Some previous studies suggested garlic might help lower risks for digestive and prostate cancers, or might reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels; others found no benelil. Health benefits have been thought to come from a sulfur-containing substance called allicin thai is released when raw garlic is chopped or crushed. In lab tests, it can be applied directly to cells and has been shown to prevent cholesterol production. But any direct beneftts to the body from allicin may be diluted when garlic is eaten, said Gardner, ao assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University: Still, Gardner, a garlic lover. was optimistic when BRADENTON.

Thought for Today: "He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coal of mail thai none can pierce." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). As Uangerous as President Bush's record on Iraq may be to Republican presidential candidates in 2008, Democrats also are risking revival of fears that their party is weak on foreign policy.

He called the results disappointing but said it's still possible garlic might improve cholesterol when eaten in bigger doses or by people with more severe chole sterol problems. Also, garlic could have characteristics other than influencing cholesterol that might benelit the heart, he said. The study appears in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine. An Archives editorial agreed and said "the jury is still out" on whether garlic might prevent cardiovascular disease. The study involved 192 adults aged about 50 on average with moderately elevated levels of LDL cholesterol , the bad kind that . contributes to heart disease. The average LDL level was 140 milligrams per deciliter of blood, or in the border- line-high range. Below I00 is considered ideal. Participants were randomly assigned to eat the equivalent of an average clove of garlic in either raw form or garlic pills. or dummy pills. six days weekly for six-months . Raw garlic was mixed into salsa, fat-free mayonnaise or other condiments spread on portobello mushroom sandwiches, chicken quesadillas and other specialty sandwiches. Participants in the garlic pill and dummy ~!ill groups also got sandwrches, but without garlic. Bad breath and body odor were reponed by more than half the ·raw garlic eaters, and a handful of people in the supplement groups reported tlatulence, but there were no major side effects . There also was virtually no effect on cholesterol levels in any of the groups. Healthy as medically under served in whole or in part. A survey showed that more often than not, individuals allow their chronic disease conditions to become acute which then results in a hospitalization which could have been prevented. The five top chronic conditions (disease processes) thai result in preventable hospitalizations in this area are asthma, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and hypertension. Because of the high incident of chronic diseases in Ohio, the state was awarded a grant from the Administration on A~ing and the National Councrl on Aging in the amount of $850,000 over a three year period to implement health promotion. The Ohio Department of Aging, the Ohio Department of Health. and six Ohio Area Agencies on Aging will implement and evaluate programs dealing with self-management of chronic diseases.

AP MEDICAl WRITER CHICAGO Garlic doesn't do much ' for the breath and it stinks for lowenng cholesterol. Thai's the conclusion of. the most rigorous. head-to-head st udy of raw garlic and popular garlic supplements, despite promoters' claims to the contrary. Whether it was eaten raw in heart-healthy sandwiches, or in pills made of powdered or aged garlic, the strongsmelling herb had no effect on cholesterol in people whose levels were already elevated, the governmentfunded study found. "If garlic was going to have a chance to work, it would have worked in this study." said researcher Christopher Gardner. But it didn't. Garlic is a longtime folk remedy for a variety of ills. including heart disease, cancer. infections and even mosquito bites. Scientific research on its purported benefits has had cOnflicting results. Some previous studies suggested garlic might help lower risks for digestive and prostate cancers, or might reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels; others found no benelil. Health benefits have been thought to come from a sulfur-containing substance called allicin thai is released when raw garlic is chopped or crushed. In lab tests, it can be applied directly to cells and has been shown to prevent cholesterol production. But any direct beneftts to the body from allicin may be diluted when garlic is eaten, said Gardner, ao assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University: Still, Gardner, a garlic lover. was optimistic when BRADENTON.

Enher way, the Boston Red Sox finally have him in camp. The New York Yankees, meanwhile, will be without Bobbv Abreu for at least two weeks because uf a strained muscle on his right side. The right fielder got injured during batting practice Monday in Tampa, Fla., but New York manager Joe Torre and GM Brian Cashman said that won't prompt the team to make a new push for Bernie Williams to come to camp. "It's not an option we're looking at," Cashman said. "Bobby is coming back . The question is when." The Yankees still hope Abreu will be ready for opening day on April 2. "He had a significant oblique strain." Cashman said. 'Til probably say three weeks, but we'll see. Worst case, it's one .of those lengthy ones that gives him too short a period of time to get ready. But it's really premature to be guessing." The Yankees received encouraging news on pitcher Carl Pavano 's left foot. An MRI exam and X-rays taken Sunday showed a bone bruise. Pavano was hit on the instep by a liner during batting practice Saturday. " I wasn't too concerned, with the progress I've made.'' Pavano said . "I was Spring Training Roundup able to do all my activity today in the weight room. It 's considerably hett er every day." Pavano is still scheduled to make his first spring training start Sundar. "Obviously, 1f he doesn't throw enough to work into that day, we'll make adjustments," Torre said . Center . fielder Johnny Damon rejoined the Yankees after a two-day excused absence to tend to a pe>sonal matte!' at home with his familv in the Orlando area. ·.. Everything is great, .. Damon said. "I feel a lot better today than a couple days ago. Somethi{lg was worrying me and I took care of it." Nobody at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers , Fla .. sounded particularly annoyed by Ramirez's delayed arrival. The unpredictable slugger drove UJ? in a large. gray sedan With tinted windows four days after the team staged its first full- squad workout but three day s before the date the Red Sox gave him permission to show up because his mother had a health problem. "I think we all would be very naive to think that if Manny wasn't the extraordinary hitter he was, that he·d get a little more leeway than the next guy." Bostori third baseman Mike Lowell said . ''I think if you reach a point that you cross a line of integrity with your teammates, it will be felt. Four days into spring training. I don't really see it as that big a deal." Not surprisingly, the enigmatic Ramire1. had a little trouble findin g his way around. He took a wrong turn on his way to calisthenics and walked right into a crowd of tims by accident. No problem for the happygo-lucky hitter. Ramirez laughed and simply turned around, headed to the path he should have taken and joined his teammates on one of the practice fields. "Manny reported early because he was ready to go. He's excited to be here in spring training." said his agent, Greg Genske. "I do know that (Onelcida Ramirez) had very. very serious medical issues this offseason and that was the · reason why Manny is reporting when he is." Ramirez. who rarely talks with reporters, refused several requests to do so. At Jupiter. Fla .. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and third baseman Scott Rolen are talking again, and both agree the rift that began during the 2006 postseason is over.

Pavano was hit on the instep by a liner during batting practice Saturday. " I wasn't too concerned, with the progress I've made.'' Pavano said . "I was Spring Training Roundup able to do all my activity today in the weight room. It 's considerably hett er every day." Pavano is still scheduled to make his first spring training start Sundar. "Obviously, 1f he doesn't throw enough to work into that day, we'll make adjustments," Torre said . Center . fielder Johnny Damon rejoined the Yankees after a two-day excused absence to tend to a pe>sonal matte!' at home with his familv in the Orlando area. ·.. Everything is great, .. Damon said. "I feel a lot better today than a couple days ago. Somethi{lg was worrying me and I took care of it." Nobody at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers , Fla .. sounded particularly annoyed by Ramirez's delayed arrival. The unpredictable slugger drove UJ? in a large. gray sedan With tinted windows four days after the team staged its first full- squad workout but three day s before the date the Red Sox gave him permission to show up because his mother had a health problem. "I think we all would be very naive to think that if Manny wasn't the extraordinary hitter he was, that he·d get a little more leeway than the next guy." Bostori third baseman Mike Lowell said . ''I think if you reach a point that you cross a line of integrity with your teammates, it will be felt. Four days into spring training. I don't really see it as that big a deal." Not surprisingly, the enigmatic Ramire1. had a little trouble findin g his way around. He took a wrong turn on his way to calisthenics and walked right into a crowd of tims by accident. No problem for the happygo-lucky hitter. Ramirez laughed and simply turned around, headed to the path he should have taken and joined his teammates on one of the practice fields. "Manny reported early because he was ready to go. He's excited to be here in spring training." said his agent, Greg Genske. "I do know that (Onelcida Ramirez) had very. very serious medical issues this offseason and that was the · reason why Manny is reporting when he is." Ramirez. who rarely talks with reporters, refused several requests to do so. At Jupiter. Fla .. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and third baseman Scott Rolen are talking again, and both agree the rift that began during the 2006 postseason is over. The two shook hands last week outside La Russa's office at St. Louis' spring training complex.. They had not spoken since the disagreement began. "It's a dead issue," Rolen. said Monday.

Brian J. Reed/photo• Awooden sign advertising New Royal Sewing Machines, pictured with a set of old gotf ctubs, is one of the items unearthed in the Middleport Department Store by Auctioneer Bilty Goble. Old advertising pieces tlke this are expected to draw a big crowd to this weekend's auction at the store. . .. .. - .. DEPARJMmr STORE NOOKS HOIDJiu:ASliRE TROVE BY BRIAN J. REED BREEOOMVDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT - For Auctioneer Billy Goble, unearthing finds in · the Middleport Department Store has been akin to exploring King Tut's tomb. Goble has been contracted ·by the store's owners. Tom Dooley and Bruce Fisher, to sell inventory, store fixtures and the store building itself in an auction coming up this weekend. What Goble has found as he catalogs the building's contents has been exciting for someone who knows and appreciates both the munetary and historical value of old things . . Remaining store inventory from the department store, including clothing and gift items, will be sold along with antiques from Sue's Selectables, owned by Dooley's former business partner, Sue Stone. But most fascinating are the old adverti sing pieces, fixtures and bits of ''dead" inventory remaining from the store's thriving early days . Venerable brands like Coats and Clark, Anvil work wear and Fruit of the Loom are represented in signage and fixtures discovered throughout the store's spacious sales tloors, but some of the most interesting and valuable items were complete surprises ,' discovered by Goble as he poked around an attic crawl space in the massive building . Two loy riding horses with cloth seats are estimated to be at least I00 years old. They were found in the attic. A wooden New Royal Sewing Machine sign is likely to be from the same era, and was found in the same location. Why they were stashed in the attic is a mystery. but · those two find s are probably the most collectable and most valuable of anything else in the store, Goble said. They could bring many hundreds of dollars, each. Other items of interest were found in the store 's basement, which was once a bustling sale s area but was later sealed off from customers and accessed only by a ladder. Advertising pieces have been "hot" item s for collectors for the past several years, and vintage items like those found at the Middleport Department Store will likely bring a high price . Goble said he has advertised the auction in news papers throughout . Ohio and on the internet. For anyone with an interest in retailing, there are also hat boxes from a bygone retailing era, mannequ'i ns, vintage cash registers, massive glass di splay cases, antique toy s. and furniture , What was the most unusual discove ry ? Fur Goble, it 's a pair of britches - Wrangler jeans, measuring well over six feet long. The mammoth jeans were used as a promotional display. The customer who guessed the number of Auctioneer Bilty Gobte is pictured with two rocking horses found in an attic crawl space at the Middleport Department Store. He expects these Circa-1900 toys to bring top dotlar at this weekend's auction of department store fixtures and inventory. stitches in the pants won a prize . Fisher said he and Dooley have been just as surprised · and . deli ghted with the unexpected discoveries as their auctioneer. ·' We didn't eve n know that attic was there," Fisher said . "We ass umed it was a trap door leading to the roof. so the things that were found the re hav e just amazed us." The store, which first opened as Rathburn' s Departme nt Store in the earliest day s of the 20th century, was closed in January . In its heyday. it operated on three sales floors and a full basemen!. The sale will be gi n with inv entory from Sue's Selectables and th ~ Department Store, if time permits, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday. Store fixtures and other items will be included in the Saturday auction, which begi ns at I 0 a.m. The building will be sold at auction on Saturday. as well. ooo • '· • ' MIDDLEPORT Middleport Village Council President Stephen Houchins said the village solicitor will review a councilman's decision to withdraw a proposed ta x levy from the May primary. Houchins pre sided at Monday evening 's regular meeting of village council in the absence of Mayor Sandy lannarelli, who was out of lown . He said lunnarelli instructed him to collect statements about the removal of the ballot issue from the May primary. Houchins did not indicate whether Solicitor Jennifer Sheets of Pomeroy would review the case for possible litigation or to investigate any recourse through the elections system. He only said his "boss," lannarelli, had instructed him to refer the matter to Sheets for revtew. In January, council authorized Fiscal Officer Susan Baker to seek projected revenue ligures for one. two and three- mill levies to replace a levy voters rejected in November. At the Feb. 12 meeting of council, a threemill levy was aulhorized for the May ballot. Councilman Ferman Moore said he delivered the necessary paperwork to the Board of Elections before the Feb. 22 tiling deadline. but discussed the matter with two other council members and tried to contact Houchins and other members of council before making the decision to remove the matter from the May ballot , in order to save the cost of the primary. Moore said he hoped his decision would allow councit "a second chance" to review the matter and possi. bly hold a spec ial meeting to rescind its decision to place the lny on the May balloi. In a written statement to council members he di stribuled Monday eve ning, Moore said "time was run nin g out anu I felt that some acti'on must be taken."
