Their front-yard kitchen gardens, with everything from vegetables to herbs and salad greens, are a source of food, a topic of conversation with the neighbors and a political statement. Leigh Anders, who tore up about half her front lawn four years ago and planted vegetables, said her garden sends. a message that anyone can grow at least some of their food.. That task should shift from agribusiness back to individuals and their communiti~s. said And,crs, of. Viroqua, Wise. "This movement can start with simply one tomato plant growing in one's yard," she said. While people have been growing food in their backyards forever, front-yard vegetable gardens are a growing outlet for people whose backyards are too shady or too small, as well as those who want to spread their beliefs one tomato at a time. Many hope their gardens will revive the notion of victory gardens, which by some estimates provided 40 percent of America's ve g• etables during World War II. The topic has gotten more buzz nal!onally as bloggers chronicle their experiences and environmentalists have SCI'J.Itinized the effects of chemicals and water used to grow lawns. A book called "Food Not Lawns," published last year, inspired several offshooi groups . . ; l! ' I .

Some even have their own built-in lift systems so that they can easily be reached from ground level. Pull the car out of the garage l)lld there it is: easy-access Fritz Haeg, an artist and architect, has done yards in Kansas, California and New Jersey as P.art of a project called "Edtble Estates." Haeg, who is working on a book, due out in 2008, called "Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn," says he's been overwhelmed by the response. He gets hundreds of e-mails every month from people who want to be next. "People are obsessed with their homes, creating these coooons that isolate them," he said. "Titis project is about reaching out, getting them connected to their streets." Some of the neighbors are less than thrilled. Sonic municipal codes limit the percentage of a yard that can be planted with anything other than trees and grass. "Especially in the first three years, I got a lot of code violations," said Bob Waldrop of Oldalioma City. He planted his corner lot almost entirely with fruit trees, berry bushes and vegetables. "Now that the plantings have matured, it's pretty," ne said. "It wasn't so pretty the first couple years.' Shannon McBride, 47, of Huntsvill.e, Alabama, kept grass borders around her front-yard vegeta~le beds. "We promised our neighbor we wouldn't grow com, because that looks kind of tacky," she said. The neighbor also thought tomatoes looked "untidy," so McBride and her husband are growing bell peppers, carrots, chives, herbs, two kinds of beans, beets, okra, lettuce and . cucumbers. Her corn is off to the side of the house. An anonymous complaint about Karen Baumann's in front-yard garden storage as never before. • Don't store garden tools and equipment in the garage if you can possibly avoid it. Use an outbuilding instead. Gardening items do well in such storage. Why muddy up the garage? Free it up for clean storage. • Sell your wooden ladder to someone who has the available weatherproof storage and buy an aluminum one that can be kept outside. Aluminum ladders do really well mounted on an exterior wall with hooks made for the task. Sacramento, Calif. led to a fight by local gardeners against the city's· landscaping code, which stated that gardens could take up no more than 30 percent of the front yard. After a public hearing where Baumann's 11-yearold twin sons testified, dressed as a carrot and a tomato, the city changed the law. "I'm always asked, 'What will it look like in ·the winter?'" said Rosalind Creasy, a landscape designer who has been writing about edi· ble landscal'ing for 25 years. "If you destgn it well and it has an herb garden, it will look fme. One of the dumb- . est things I see is dead lawns in the winter. They're brown for six months of the year. How beautiful is that?" Some front-yard gardeners say that ripping out the sod and · putting in vegetables gave the neighbors their firstever excuse to speak to them. "It's kind of like having a dog," said Nat Zappia, 32, a graduate student. "No one talked to us until we had a dog.'' Zappia turned the front yard of the home he and his wife rent in Santa Manica, Calif. into a vegetable garden, with his landlord's permission. He estimates it supplies 35 to 40 percent of the food they eat. Zappia took a master gar. dening class at the East Los An~eles University of Cahfomia extension program that was focused on growing food. Other gardeners were inspired by books they've read, such as "Gaia's Garden: A Guide to HomeScale Permaculture" and · "The Year l Ate My Yard:" The gardens don't cost much to plant. Zappia estimates he spent about $100 on the garden and says he and his wife save about' $200 to $300 a year on their food costs. Waldrop, in Oklahoma City, said the garden's organic fruit allowed him to eat in a way he could never afford if he bought eV'e~t~ thing at the grocery storei , "It's like money: ~wing ', in your yard," he srud. . Creasy has a l,OQO .square- . foot edible garden that surrounds her Los 'Altos;·Calif. home. Among the things she grows: , Wheat, sesame, paprika peppers and alpine strawberries. ' Every July 4, as part of her neighborhood block party, she harvests wheat, lays it · down on a tarp on her driveway, covers it with a cloth and has all the neighbors do what she calls, "the tennis shoe twist" to thresh it. Next, she puts it in a deep ,~heelbarrow and blows off the chaff with an electric leaf blower: Then she grinds it with an attachment for her .mi:~ter, bakes bread and serves it to the neighbors, warm from the oven. "U's like a sacrament," she said. Creasy also keeps eight hens and one rooster in her • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :;o CL:'\11 S • \ 'ol. :;~. :-,: 0 , :l SPORTS • Post 128 headed to state.

Pomeroy Chief of Police Mark E. Proffitt said his department has two persons of interest in the case who have allegedly been caught on the 'store's surveillance camera when they entered the. store, asking for change. Proffitt said a man and woman entered the store and first asked the clerk to make change for a large bill but the clerkoouldn't make the change due to the store's policy of not keeping large bills in the register.· The suspects then approached the Miller Lite driver while in the store who gave the couple change. "The suspects were fishing for money," Proffitt said about the scam to ask the clerk and driver for change. The couple then exited the store and the male allegedly took the driver's cash bag rest!!J.li11Si~ tile truck's which Proffitt said had an · Widder· mihed amount of cash and several checks from ven&rs. Wmters with the Pomeroy Street Department did not observe the man get into the truck thoul',h they saw him running fromthe truck and getting into a light blue, older niodel . Chevrolet Cavalier which the female was driving. Witnesses describe the Cavalier as being almost a sky blue or primer gray with a left fender which is lighter than the rest of the car. . ''This case remains under investigation and we feel it will be solved soon, it's only a matter of time," Proffitt said "If there is a way to defraud someone, crooks will find it." Proffitt added he hopes local retails will be on the lookout for this type of "casing" behavior and criminals "fishing" for money in a similar matter.

Despite the setbacks with the power plant, Bowen said Iraq's electricity supply still rose to 4,230 megawatts, compared with 3,900 megawatts during the previous quarter and 3,800 before that. But that is still below the prewar level of 4,500 megawatts, he said. Just two years ago, Iraq's electricity supply was more than 5,000 megawatts. "Projects are getting done," Bowen said.

That has left U.S. officials to tum over the projects to local officials or to commit more money to keep them running. Even when the Iraqi government has accepted rebuilt projects, it has let them languish. The two units at the Dora power plant, for example, are not worldng despite a $90 million effort to repair them. The plant's Trnqi operators cannibalized equipment from one of the units as it neared functioning status to repair the second, after it had failed because of. improper maintenance and operation.

"It's been gradual," said Bill Washington on a summer afternoon as Alana snacked on grapes, low-fat crackers and low-fat cheese. "I've noticed her willingness to participate and be active in healthy decisions." Alana misses doughnuts, but concedes that she enjoys much of the healthier fare her family has been eating. She prefers baked Cheetos to the regular ones, loves diet Mountain Dew and has even developed a love for snow peas. .The three-month program -· called Dean Foods LEAN (Lifestyle, Exercise and Nutrition) Families Program offered at Children's Medical Center Dallas focuses on making fitness and nutrition changes for the whole family. .

Also crippling the efforts are anemic capital spending by Iraq's central government ministries and its provinces; continued challenges faced by contractors in fulfilling the terms of their contracts; and endemic C<J11Uption. Such theft, frnud, skimming and other conuption amount to a "second insurgency," the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, · Stuart Bowen Jr., wrote in his quarterly report, being released Monday. "It's another enemy that 1raq has to fight. Secunty is the paramount challenge that the Iraqi government has to solve, but right behind that is conuption, particularly involving oil smuggling," Bowen told The Associated Press in an interview Sunday. "This report presents a mixed picture," he said. "But it's too early to say whether we are going to render effective, enduring results. There are signs of progress this year." Among those signs, Bowen said, is Iraq's production of 2.1 million bairefs of oil a day in the latest quarter, compared with 1.9 million the previous quarter and 1.8 million barrels ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER AP photo Sue Washington, left, works with her daughter Alana Washington, 9, to make a popcOrn snack on Wednesday, in Dallas.

Despite the setbacks with the power plant, Bowen said Iraq's electricity supply still rose to 4,230 megawatts, compared with 3,900 megawatts during the previous quarter and 3,800 before that. But that is still below the prewar level of 4,500 megawatts, he said. Just two years ago, Iraq's electricity supply was more than 5,000 megawatts. "Projects are getting done," Bowen said.

Thesday about the · latest report. ·In an audit issued last week, the inspector getieral found the Iraqi government has refused to take control of more than 2,000 U.S.-funded reconstructi6n projects since Jlllle 2006. That has left U.S. officials to tum over the projects to local officials or to commit more money to keep them running. Even when the Iraqi government has accepted rebuilt projects, it has let them languish. The two units at the Dora power plant, for example, are not worldng despite a $90 million effort to repair them. The plant's Trnqi operators cannibalized equipment from one of the units as it neared functioning status to repair the second, after it had failed because of. improper maintenance and operation.

Easy to use, well-balanced Monday, July 30; 2007 ANNIE'S MAILBOX l' 1[ PageA3 BY THE BEND The Daily Sentinel Dear Annie: I have been friends with "Sherry" for seven years. We worked together but stayed in touch when we left that job, as we are in similar fields . Sherry is very well-connected and has helped me, but she often tells office stories that smack of high drama. A "very good friend" of hers recently returned from maternity leave mildly depressed and shared the information with Sherry. Soon, Sherry was telling me she was afraid of this woman's demeanor and would have to discuss it with Human Resources. I could not talk her out of it. The woman soon left the job. However, this same woman happens to be a key professional contact for me. If I ever need to use her as a reference, I pray this door will not be slammed in my face because of my association with Sherry. So, I've learned my friend is a backstabber and very unsympathetic. The issue now is that I find myself questioning her actions. Last week, she invited me to lunch at a place we've never been. She was really excited that we both had the day off and said she wanted to have a drink with lunch. This, too, is unusual. We never drink at lunch . It was especially odd in that instead of phoning m ~. she put an of this in an e-mail. After we got to the restaurant, I ordered a beer, but Sherry couldn't seem to make up her mind .

Past coun cases ha14.e held that, except by reaching the age of majority, a child can become emancipated only through marriage ot entry into the military service. Moreover, there is no action that may be filed to permit the child to legally move out of his or her home without a legal custodian and to relieve parents from parental responsibility or liability for the actions of the child.

Bridge construction delays on Ohio Atlantic tropical storms more than doubled in a century in 2 sharp steps River lead to higher costs 't ·j., t !. COLUMBUS (AP) High river levels, safetyrelated redesigns and missing parts have contributed to budget-busting expenses and delays on the state's two Ohio River bridge building projects, a newspaper reported. Because most of the Ohio River belongs to Kentucky and West Virginia, those states have been responsible for building most bridges across the river. Ohio is a relative newcomer, having awarded its f1rst contract in 200 I to a central·Ohio contractor. That project was finished in October - more than two years after its scheduled completion. The 2, 155-foot U.S. Grant Bridge between Ponsmouth, Ohio and South Shore, Ky., was supposed to cost the state $28.4 million, but the final bill on the two-lane bridge was $38 million, officials said. The state's second project, also awarded by the Ohio Department of Transportation to C.J. Mahan Construction Co. of subur- ban Grove City, is also facing delays and cost overruns, The Columbus Dispatch reported on Sunday. Work began in 2003 on the 1,848-foot span between Mason, W.Va., and Pomeroy, Ohio, but construction has been on hold for nine months while the builder waits for an important piece of equipment, the newspaper said. State officials had planned to open the two-lane bridge a year ago, but completion isn't expected until November 2008, and the project's total cost is now estimated to be $60 million, nearly one-third more than the original $45.8 million contract. By comparison, a larger Ohio River bridge project that is being managed by the West Vrrginia Depanment of Transponation is close to being finished, almost on budget and almost on time. The four-lane, 4,009-foot Blennerhassett Bridge will carry a rerouted U.S. Rou~ 50 between Belpre, Ohio and Parkersburg, W. Va. Tbe project was originally bid at $119.9 million and West Vtrginia planners had said it would be completed by .September. It wil cost about $122 million and i's expected to OJ?Cn in late November, offictals said. "We've had a ~ood contractor," Cliff Esstg, a West Vrrginia state bridge engineer, said of Walsh Construction of Chicago. "Things have gone well." Ohio's first project, the U.S. Grant Bridge, was delayed by high river levels and design Changes, state officials said. At one point, angry Portsmouth merchants demanded - unsuccessfully - that ODOT pay damages for the delay. . The project in Pomeroy is on hold while workers wait for a safety-related redesign of a device that supports the bridge's deck as concrete is poured, ODOT spokeswoman Stephanie Filson said. · Mahan would rather wait than risk workers' safety by having them work with a device similar to one that fell on another project, company .vice president Gary Yancer said.

WASHINGTON -The number of t~Vpical storms developing annually in the Atlanuc Ocean more than doubled over the past century, with the increase taking place in two jumps, researchers say. The increases coincided. with rising sea surface temperature, largely the byproduct of human-induced climate warming, researchers Greg J. Holland and Peter J. Webster concluded. Their findings were being published online Sunday by Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. An official at .the Nationa! Hurricane Center called the research "siQppy science" and said technological improvements in observing storms accounted for the mcrease. From . 1905 to 1930, the Atlantic-Gulf Coast area averaged six tropical cyclones per year, with four of those storms growing into become huqicanes. The annual • average jumped to 10 tropical storms and five hurricanes from 1931 to 1994. From 1995 to 2005, the average was 15 tropical storms and eight hurricanes annually. Even in 2006, widely reported as a mild year, there were 10 tropical storms. "We are currently in an upward swing in frequency of named storms and hurricanes that has not stabilized," said Holland, director of mesoscale and microscale meteorology at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. "I really do not know how · much further, if any, that it will go, but my sense is that we shall see a stabilization in frequencies for a while, followed by potentially another upward swing if global warmin_g continues unabated," Holland said.

Holland said about half the U.S. population and "a large slice" of business are "directly Vlllnerable" to hurricanes. "Our urban and industrial planning and building codes are based on past history," he said. If the future is different, "then we run the very real risk of these being found -inadequate, as was so graphically displayed by (Hurricane) Katrina in New Orleans." . Hurricanes derive their energy from warm ocean water. North Atlantic surface temperature increased about 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit during the 100-year period studied. Other researchers have calculated that at least twothirds of that warming can be attributed to human and industrial activities. Some expens have sought to blame cllanges in the sun. But a recent study by British and Swiss experts concluded that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the sun that could have had an. influence oil the Earth's climate have .been in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise in global mean temperatures." , As the sea surface temperatures warm , they cause changes in atmospheric wind fields and circulations, and these changes are responsible for the changes in storm frequency, Holland said. $10DOWN $10 MONTH O%APR FOR 1 Chris Landsea, science and operations officer . at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center, said the study is inconsistent in its use of data. The work, he said, is "slopPY science that ne(!lects the fact that better momtoring by satellites allows us to observe storms and hurricanes that were simply missed earlier. The doubhng in the number of storms and hurricanes in I oo·· years that they found in their paper is just an artifact of technology, not climate change." But Kerry Emanuel, a hurricane expen at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the study was significant. "It refutes recent suggestions that the upward trend in Atlantic hurricane activity is an artifact of changing measurement systems," said Emanuel, who was not part of the research team.

Bridge construction delays on Ohio Atlantic tropical storms more than doubled in a century in 2 sharp steps River lead to higher costs 't ·j., t !. COLUMBUS (AP) High river levels, safetyrelated redesigns and missing parts have contributed to budget-busting expenses and delays on the state's two Ohio River bridge building projects, a newspaper reported. Because most of the Ohio River belongs to Kentucky and West Virginia, those states have been responsible for building most bridges across the river. Ohio is a relative newcomer, having awarded its f1rst contract in 200 I to a central·Ohio contractor. That project was finished in October - more than two years after its scheduled completion. The 2, 155-foot U.S. Grant Bridge between Ponsmouth, Ohio and South Shore, Ky., was supposed to cost the state $28.4 million, but the final bill on the two-lane bridge was $38 million, officials said. The state's second project, also awarded by the Ohio Department of Transportation to C.J. Mahan Construction Co. of subur- ban Grove City, is also facing delays and cost overruns, The Columbus Dispatch reported on Sunday. Work began in 2003 on the 1,848-foot span between Mason, W.Va., and Pomeroy, Ohio, but construction has been on hold for nine months while the builder waits for an important piece of equipment, the newspaper said. State officials had planned to open the two-lane bridge a year ago, but completion isn't expected until November 2008, and the project's total cost is now estimated to be $60 million, nearly one-third more than the original $45.8 million contract. By comparison, a larger Ohio River bridge project that is being managed by the West Vrrginia Depanment of Transponation is close to being finished, almost on budget and almost on time. The four-lane, 4,009-foot Blennerhassett Bridge will carry a rerouted U.S. Rou~ 50 between Belpre, Ohio and Parkersburg, W. Va. Tbe project was originally bid at $119.9 million and West Vtrginia planners had said it would be completed by .September. It wil cost about $122 million and i's expected to OJ?Cn in late November, offictals said. "We've had a ~ood contractor," Cliff Esstg, a West Vrrginia state bridge engineer, said of Walsh Construction of Chicago. "Things have gone well." Ohio's first project, the U.S. Grant Bridge, was delayed by high river levels and design Changes, state officials said. At one point, angry Portsmouth merchants demanded - unsuccessfully - that ODOT pay damages for the delay. . The project in Pomeroy is on hold while workers wait for a safety-related redesign of a device that supports the bridge's deck as concrete is poured, ODOT spokeswoman Stephanie Filson said. · Mahan would rather wait than risk workers' safety by having them work with a device similar to one that fell on another project, company .vice president Gary Yancer said.

WASHINGTON -The number of t~Vpical storms developing annually in the Atlanuc Ocean more than doubled over the past century, with the increase taking place in two jumps, researchers say. The increases coincided. with rising sea surface temperature, largely the byproduct of human-induced climate warming, researchers Greg J. Holland and Peter J. Webster concluded. Their findings were being published online Sunday by Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. An official at .the Nationa! Hurricane Center called the research "siQppy science" and said technological improvements in observing storms accounted for the mcrease. From . 1905 to 1930, the Atlantic-Gulf Coast area averaged six tropical cyclones per year, with four of those storms growing into become huqicanes. The annual • average jumped to 10 tropical storms and five hurricanes from 1931 to 1994. From 1995 to 2005, the average was 15 tropical storms and eight hurricanes annually. Even in 2006, widely reported as a mild year, there were 10 tropical storms. "We are currently in an upward swing in frequency of named storms and hurricanes that has not stabilized," said Holland, director of mesoscale and microscale meteorology at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. "I really do not know how · much further, if any, that it will go, but my sense is that we shall see a stabilization in frequencies for a while, followed by potentially another upward swing if global warmin_g continues unabated," Holland said.

Holland said about half the U.S. population and "a large slice" of business are "directly Vlllnerable" to hurricanes. "Our urban and industrial planning and building codes are based on past history," he said. If the future is different, "then we run the very real risk of these being found -inadequate, as was so graphically displayed by (Hurricane) Katrina in New Orleans." . Hurricanes derive their energy from warm ocean water. North Atlantic surface temperature increased about 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit during the 100-year period studied. Other researchers have calculated that at least twothirds of that warming can be attributed to human and industrial activities. Some expens have sought to blame cllanges in the sun. But a recent study by British and Swiss experts concluded that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the sun that could have had an. influence oil the Earth's climate have .been in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise in global mean temperatures." , As the sea surface temperatures warm , they cause changes in atmospheric wind fields and circulations, and these changes are responsible for the changes in storm frequency, Holland said. $10DOWN $10 MONTH O%APR FOR 1 Chris Landsea, science and operations officer . at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center, said the study is inconsistent in its use of data. The work, he said, is "slopPY science that ne(!lects the fact that better momtoring by satellites allows us to observe storms and hurricanes that were simply missed earlier. The doubhng in the number of storms and hurricanes in I oo·· years that they found in their paper is just an artifact of technology, not climate change." But Kerry Emanuel, a hurricane expen at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the study was significant. "It refutes recent suggestions that the upward trend in Atlantic hurricane activity is an artifact of changing measurement systems," said Emanuel, who was not part of the research team.

The book, titled "Protecting Pensions for Dummies," goes on sale Monday. It was written by Robert Gary and Jori Bloom Naegele, both local attoroeys who specialize in pension plans. ' During decades in practice, they have recovered more than $100 million for pensioners, they said. . The 'book explains how pensions work and resources available to help when things go wrong, the authors said. "You wouldn't go to Las Vegas, put your money down on the blackjack table and not know if you won or lost and depend on the house to tell you.

Contador cap~res doping-tainted Tour I I I I!• I PARIS (AP) - Alberto Contador won the dopingscarred Tour. de France on Sunday, a new, young and unlikely winner for the three-week race shaken to its core by scandals. The 24-year-old rider for the Discovery Channel team . was the youngest champion since Jan Ullrich of Germany in 1997. He was the first Spaniard to stand on the winner's podium since the last of Miguel Indurain's five titles in 1995. His margin of victory .just 23 seconds ahead of Cadel Evans of Australia was the second-narrowest in the Tour's 104-year history, even after 2,200 miles of racing through Britain, BelgiUill; Spain and France. "I think we've seen the future of Spanish cycling and perhaps international cycling," seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong said. · Contador had seemed destined for second place until the Tour was hit by a bombshell just five days from the finish: the ouster of race leader Michael Rasmussen. His Rabobank team accused the Dane of having lied about his whereabouts before the Tour to evade doping controls. Rasmussen's departure catapulted Contador mto the race lead, Evans to the runner-up spot, and U.S. rider Levi Le1pheimer into third. Those standings held through the closing four days -including a thrilling . time trial Saturday that Leipheimer won and the 91- Stewart ' I fromPageBl Brickyard winner, was third followed by Kyle Busch, pole-sitter Reed Sorenson and Mark Martin. Harvick faded all the way to seventh after Stewart's race-winning pass. Jeff Burton, Dave Blaney and Matt Kenseth rounded out the top 10. The victory made Stewart, the two-time series champion,_the favorite for a third title. Six of the past nine Indy winners went on to win the Cup, including the last two, and Stewart himself did it in 2005. Now he appears poised to ri~ off one of his trademark wmning streaks. He won five of six races during the summer of 2005, closed last year with three wins in the final eight, and now has two in a row. Stewart had a frustrating start to the season, losing at least four races he should have won, and didn't reach Victory Lane until the July 15 event in Chicago. He then took his momentum with him on an overdue vacation during NASCAR's final off weekend of the season, then reported to Indianapolis relaxed and mile final ride Sunday to Paris' fan-lined ChampsElysees from Marcoussis, west of the capital. The stage was won by Daniele Bennati of Italy. Contador high-fived and hugged his teammates after crossing the line. His original goal was to · take the white jersey for the best young rider. In the end, he jlOt both white and yellow Jerseys. Contador was a new star for a race that has been searching for a successor to Armstrong, who retired _in 2005, and which is struggling to repair its credibility after two straight years marred by doping. The 2006 winner, Floyd Landis, did not defend his crown because of doping charges hanging over him. This Tour turned into a circus after it emerged that Rasmussen was competing despite missing doping controls in May and June, and after Kazakh star Alexandre Vinokourov - a pre-race favorite - and Cristian Moreni of Italy failed doping tests. They and their teams left the race, . and police raided their hotels, searching for doping products. Instead of putting the doping cloud left by Landis behind them, Tour organizers again found themselves having to contend daily with the issue. The feel-good factor generated by the race's July 7' start m London, England - watched by millions of fans - quickly faded. · ready to race for his second Indy win in three seasons. It's a marked change from his first seven visits to the track, when Stewart would arrive irritable and on edge in his pursuit of the elusive victory. A native of nearby Colombus, Stewart came to Indy as a kid and dreamed of someday winning an Indianapolis 500. He never did during a · short but successful openwheel career, then made a full-time switch to NASCAR and focu~i!:d on winning the stock-car race at Indy. But he had his heart broken over and over here, including a 2002 near-miss that devastated him. In his anger after exiting the car, he punched a photographer and had to beg boss Joe Gibbs not to fire him . His desire to kiss the bricks never faded, and he often said he'd trade every win and every trophy for just one win at Indy. So when he finally did it in . 2005, his celebration was an emotional release. It freed him from the stress, and made for a playful, causal Stewart all weekend. He was funny and engaging, a big difference from the "Tony the · Terrible" who normally patrolled this garage. SPORTS WRITER COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn took their place in baseball's shrine Sunday, saluted as l)luch for their Hall of Fame careers as their character off the field. Commissioner Bud Selig and a record crowd carne to cheer them and all that was good about the game. A continent away, a different scene played out. Barry Bonds failed to tie the home run record, a chase tainted by his surly nature and a steroids investigation. · Ripken and Gwynn sensed that poignant counterpoint on their induction day. "This da~ shouldn't be all about us,' Ripken said. "Today is about celebrating the best that baseball has be~n and the best it can be. This is a symbol it's alive, por,utar." ' Whethc;r you like it or not, as big leaguers, we are role models," he said. ''The only question is, will it be positive or will it be negative?" · · Gwynn offered the same sentiment. · "I think the fans felt comfortable enough in us, they could trust us and how we played the game, especially m this era of negativity," he said. "I don't think there's a~~ question about. that." When you sign your name on the dotted line, it's more than just playing the game of baseball," he said. "You've got to be responsible and make decisions. and show people how things are supposed to be done." . Boosted by busloads from Maryland, an estimated 75,000 fans turned the vast field facing the podium into a sea of black, orange and brown. Ripken spent his entire career in Baltimore, making his mark by playing 2,632 consecutive games and breaking Lou Gehrig's record of 2, 130. Among the 53 Hall of Famers on stage behind Ripken were forni.er Orioles Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver, Eddie Murray and Jim Palmer.

Seven of Watson's · eight major triumphs in Britain have been on Scottish links courses. Watson broke away from Ginn after a two-hole swing at the lith. Watson rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt at a time when the Australian, who failed to make the. green in two, was on a fivehole run of bogeys. Ginn ended up with a 4-over 75 for a total of 285, tied with O'Meara who·finished with a 72. Watson made up for his back-nine collapse at the U.S. Senior Open at Whistling Straits three weeks ago, when he blew a three-shot lead after 10 holes of the final round to finish fourth behind Brad Bryant.

According . to·the sheriff's office, Baker's body was in the vehicle and has been transported to a local funeral home. Around eight people witnessed the event while sitting on private property next to the Pool People store at ·what's.. known as the Bridge Hill Hangout in Pomeroy, Several o~ the witnesse.s said. they Witnessed the sdvet sedan drive by them.· at a normal rate of speed but th.at changed once it turned ~nto the new Ohio · ramp. Witness Arnold Priddy said the car. then began traveling at a hiah rate of speed, w)t)lout stopping, ana he next heard what . was described as "boards bre8king" shortly before the car e11iting the ramp into the air. · Witnesses lbeo said the car appeared to go 40 feet out over the ·water, turned slightly to the right at)d hit the Ohio River, causing a tremendous splash. Larry Young, a witness to the . event, said he.and friend Danny Folmer rart over to the river bank in a matter of minutes to attempt to help the victim. Young dove into the water a few times. but the car had already sunk. . "In a small town you don't .think you'll see things like that and don't want to see it again, because there was a life involved," Kathy Dailey, one of the witnesses said. Stephanie Filson, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Transportation, said there was no damage to the new bridge where Baker allegedly hit an exit pole and left what was described as a "glancing blow." Filson said it also appears Baker allegedly hit a step ladder and then a concrete barrier that weighs 4,300 pounds, hitting it with such force that it toppled into the water with his vehicle. "All of the safety precautions were in · place in the event a motorist would be on the new bridge," Filson said. "Never ·in our wildest dreams would we ever expect this to happen." · · · Although work on the bridge was initially delayed due to the nature of' the ' investigation, work now continues at the construction site. . Many of the witnesses remained shaken, saytng they were unable to get much sleep and kept turning the scene over in their heads as if watching a movie. Many expressed their condolences for the family of the young man as well, saying they and Baker were in their prayers. As if it was the last thing they could do, Young and Folmer stepped out into the road yesterday afternoon, directing traffic to pull over as Pomeroy's Squad One drove past with Baker's remains.
