Quartelhack James Casto, a senior playing in his final football game "a t Point Pleasant, had by fl!f his best game of the season with 112 yards and three touchdowns on a very efficient 6-for-10 passing, while running back Tyler Grant, only a sophomore representing the new era at Point Pleasant, went wild with 123 yards rushing and four rotal t~chdowns - two on the ground and two receiving. "I think James and Tyler probably had their best performances as far as playmakers," said Safford. "James has had an outstanding year and Tyler continues to grow, people sometimes forget he is just a sophomore. But if he works hard at it he can be one of the better ones out there."

And while it seemed even a 27 point lead was still not safe with the season Point Pleasant has had, it proved more than enough .as both sides of the ball worked together in the second half to assure the win. Up by four scores, g~eat clock control and defensive stops by the Big' Blacks limited Sissonville to just four total second half pos: sessions , leaving it quite difficult to make l!" attempt at a comeback .

"Everybody knew who he was, so tt was kind of like he · was my hera, growing up. He still is," Winslow said. . "I didn't know he played football when I was younger, but when I found out, that's all I wanted to do." He's finally doing it -well, but his mouth might have gotten him in trouble. Winslow is playing in his first full season after .a motorcycle accident and multiple injuries .. He leads all tight ends with 40 receplions, for 393 yards . and three touchdowns. Gates, a two-time All-Pro who's played in the last two Pro Bowls, is third with 32 catches, 384 yards and four TDs.

He missed all of last season after tearing up a knee in a motorcycle accident. . He said he's still not 100 percent, but he did learn a lesson. "Pretty much don' t get on a motorcycle and don't do anything to put your career in jeopardy," Winslow said.

"Really, it doesn't affect it that much because all of the players on their defense are good football players," Crennel said. Merriman ha\1 nearly onethird of San Diego's 26 sacks. · "So rather than put three guys on Shawne, maybe now we only have to put two on his replacement," Crennel said. Sixth-year pro Carlos Polk will make his first career start in place of Merriman. Polk, who missed most of -the last two seasons with injuries, has one career sack. If Phillips can't go, Marques Harris will make his second straight start. "I know I have some big shoes to fill," Polk said . "This is a tremendous opportunity for me. It' s been six years on and off for me to get on the field, so ·to have the challenge of a starting role is huge. I've got to go out there and make plays and show w~at I can do." San Diego' s Marty Schonenheimer, who coached the Browns from mid way through the 1984 season through 1988, said the big task for the Chargers is managing ..jl rotation at linebacker so Polk and Harri s can still contribute on speci al teams. "We don 't have anybody them," to replace Schottenheimer said. Chargers' star running back LaDainian Tomlinson, meanwhile, has come up huge against the Browns in his career, averaging 137.7 yards, with four touchdowns 10 three games. He had one of his four career 200-yard games against Cleveland, in 2003. The Browns allow an average of 136 yards rushing, fifth worst in the NFL. In-Between Jobs?

"There's no doubt I could still go out there and drive. I think if you are going to do it, you need to either get in or out," Labonte said. "This was a limited deal and I really like it a lot, but it was a littie harder than I thought it was going-to be. I think we'd be lot better if we ran every weekend just because l can't really tell the guys ori my' · team how to fix my car.

" But even though Labonte a has not had. the runs he had hoped he would have in his final two years of competition, his presence on the track does not go unnoticed.

It is shaping up to be a twoman show between Kenseth and Johnson for the Nextel' Cup Championship. . ,. .,"'. . i Kenseth and Johnson locked in heated battle for Nextel Cup ' { I • ., ~~ BY JENNA FRYER c ~~tt ~ ., ..

What looked to be a wideopen Chase for the championship last week might actually ol)ly be a two-man fl!CC to the IItle. It would be fining if it indee4 comes down to a race between Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson, because they were the best of the field during the regular season. The two combined to hold down the top spot in the standings for the entire 26 weeks before the Chase for the championship startod. Now they head into the final three races of the year with iust · 26 points separating Kenseth from second-place Johnson. Although Denny Hamlin, Jeff Bunon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are all within strikin$ distance, the Nextel Cup 1s more than likely Kenseth's or Johnson's 10 lose. And, for the first time, Johnson likes his chances. "I had a great dream about being a champion. That's the · firsl time for me in my chwnpionship battles ... I bad the sensation of being a champi- me on," he said. "I dido 't have full visual of standing on the stage or anything, (but) every thought I have about it fills me up wtth excitement and happi' ness, where in the past, I almost had nightmares. "When I would think of the championship laying there before I'd go to sleep at night ... everything was kind o~ fearbased. 'nus year, everything as I doze off and go to sleep, I'm smiling and I'm like, 'Man, I can't wait to get to Texas and Phoenix and Homestead and race for this thing."' Kenseth, who won the 2003 championship under NASCAR's old system, ,isn't as wild about his chances as Johnson. After putting together a latesummer surge that cemented him as the driver to beat, Kenseth has been frustrated with his team's perfonnance through the first part of the Cluise. The dominance they'd shown earlier was gone, and tiny mistakes have been sabotaging their efforts, After a particularly lackluster. run in ~harlotte, he flatly said his team was "kiddin!l ourselves thinking we can wm a championship operating like (that)." So he refused to celebrate when he moved into the points lead two weeks ago, accepting that his top spot in the stan,dings was the result of the failure of others. But a fourthplace run last week in Atlanta buoyed his spirits, and Kenseth . isn't as pessimistic about his chances as just a few weeks ago. "We finally showed that we . can run with the leaders ajlain, and that was .encoU111gmg," Kenseth said. 'There's three more to go, and if we can continue to work like we did in Atlanta, then we'll have •a shot But we've got be on our gwne because (Johnson) is ~ d th · very an at team ·IS capab e of clicking off wins and running well."

And by the time it was over, the Cleveland Cavaliers got out of San Antonio with their first win in the Alamo City since 1988. James scored 35 points, hitting a ke~ layup and free throw late m the fourth to help snuff a San Antonio rally and lead the Cavaliers to an 88-81 victory Friday night. "I was 4 years old the last time we beat San Antonio," in the Spurs' hometown, James said. "I think for us to become one of the powerhouses which we've been preaching, we've got to go out there and walk the walk." But James' night wasn't as easy as it might have looked when · he powered over Duncan for the early slam and scored 15 points in the first quarter. The Spurs, one of the most dominant home court teams in the NBA, slashed a 13point deficit in · the fourth down to four and might have won if not for a dismal 18of-34 effort shooting free throws. "I wish I had a nickel for every time somebody asked me if free throws are a concern," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. They have "always been an Achilles' heel." Duncan finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds and scored 14 points in a fiveminute span to spark the rally. But he struggled badly from the line, going 9-of-19. "I've . shot a million· free throws over the summer," Duncan said. "But it's nothing like actually getting in a game, banging around and then haying to calm yourself 'down." . James, who missed five consecutive shots in the Spurs' rally, hit the layup then made one of two free th.rows for an 86-79 lead with 42 seconds left. His outlet pass for a dunk by · Larry Hughes, Who · had 18 points, finished it off. ''We showed 'poise down the stretch," James said. "They made a ·run and we were able to withstand it." James, who scored 44 points in a game against the Spurs last season, started strong Friday night against Spurs defensive specialist · Bruce Bowen. The Spurs managed to quiet James in the second · quarter, holding him to four points, but couldn't find an offensive rhythm to take the lead. Duncan and spark-plug · guard Tony Parker were mostly quiet , combining for 10 points. . James · finished the half with a highlight layup, again driving past Duncan for. an off-balance shot that he ijnished with a giddy-up dance in front of the Cavaliers' bench. "He was fant~stic, " Popovich said. "He's a physical specimen and that's the least of his attributes." Cleveland led 62-56 going into the fourth. James started the final period on the bench but sloppy play by the Spurs helped the Cavs streich the lead to 69-56 with free throws' and a 3-pointer by Hughes. When James started missing, the Spurs started their comeback when Dunc~n hit The Spurs lost to Dallas in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals last season. The Spurs, who beat Dallas in their season-open· er, are in the middle of four games in five days. · "It's kind of tough," guard Manu Ginobili said. "You're a little rusty and your legs are not the same as January or February." Notes: Before the game, Spurs F Robert Horry spoke a free throw and a dunk. James said he had known about the Cavaliers' long streak of frustration in San Antonio. "I think for the franchise, it's great to get that off your back," he; said. "This is a great win for us. The Spurs are the best team in the league."

The· 39-year-old coach's previous contract ran through the 2012 se~n, · "Thad Matta has an extraordinary gift," Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith Swulay, November 5, 2006 · ,Ofl.fElR.OY- For Curtis Spencer, it his great love of woodworking his passion for music that led him into thinking ·long and hard about designing electric guitars. · And if you have never seen or played a Spencer electric guitar, you c,an 't really appreciate the beauty and sound quality of the musical instruments made , right ·here in Meigs County. While he has always had an intc;:nse interest in music, the idea of designing and building guitars didn 't really come to him until he began working with wood while living in England. . After spending several years in the Air Force, 'Spencer took a British bride and then .lived in England for several years following his discharge in 1983. Some years later the couple came to the United States, and eventually moved back to Meigs County, where Curtis lived before his stint in the military. He and his wife, Teresa, and their 19year-old son; . Damien, reside at 368 E. Main St. in Pomeroy. But it was while he was in England that Cunis took up the woodworking trade after leaving the Air Force. He worked in an organ factory and played with several bands while there. He also did architectural work designing doors and windows and commercial cabinetry. He describes woodworking as a wellrespected legitimate trade in England. , It is in a small building behind the fami- . ly's home that Curtis' artistic talents are put to work. There you' II find large and small pieces of wood, all kinds, a variety of woodworking equipment, numerous t·ables on which instruments are put together, another padded one where .the fini~~- work takes place, and a variety of guitars in ihe process of being made or refinished hangmg around the two rooms of his shop. .. A gate in tall fencing around the backyard between the house and his workshop reads simply "S pencer," which incidentally marks every instrument made by the talented craftsman. Among the instruments hanging in the shop waiting to be n;fini'Shed is what Curtis describes an old Washburn belonging to his son who plays in a loc~l band, and a Flying V Gibson design from the late 1950s which Spencer says is !:mown for its "thick tone.'' For the guitars he makes from start to finish, ''it all starts out With a block of wood," he says, noting that he uses only local wood. "1- Jove the tone of cherry and it's readily available here ," he says displaying · an instrument in the making. Many of his guitars are solid body that 's where the instrument is made from a solid piece of wood, neck to body. And Spencer comments, "I'm electric, everything I do ." But Spencer also does acoustical guitars - that's where the body is hollowed out and has a glued on top: "That makes a different tone, more acoustic, resonates more and has h\:ner center tones, and it's lighter to handle," he adds. Besides lhe electric guitars, he's built some electric mandolins and even an electric dulcimer.. Spencer make one guitar which he jokingly calls the "R.P.G'' - for Republican Party Guitar - which he describes as a "conservative" style guitar. They are made from cherry, maple or walnut. His hope is that one of these days he will have the time to make four or five a month. But like many artists, Curtis now has to keep his day . job with Banks Construction. As for how long it takes him to build a guitar, 'he says "usually about 40 hours," although sometimes it takes many more hours, depending on the style and the finish. He says he has spent many more hours on some of his instruments including tl'fose of the "flame" design with the colored high · gloss lacquer finish. In fact he remembers on~ particular guitar which took him more than 300 hours to build and finish . After returning to Meigs County, Spencer opened a shop on Second Street in downtown Pomeroy for a time . Because hi s guitars are all handmade , they are more expensive than those mass produced in a factory, which cuts into demand in a small town. Curtis remains optimistic, however, and continues doing what he loves to do creating beautiful . musical instruments. He has received encouragement from many sources, including those who have purchased his electric guitars, as well as some blues and jazz musicians who have come to town to entertain at the Court Street GrilL Several area musicians including Phil Moms, Adam Tucker and Mary Moore perform in concert on Spencer guitars. While the flame-designed guitars with the colored high gloss lacquer finish are rhe most popular of his creations - and he has several beautiful ones on hand - he also makes a variety of other styles, like the Gibson, the Brazil doubleneck, and, of course, the "R.P.G" conservative, several of which are displayed in a studio setting in the .Spencer home. Cunis is also a guitar collector of what he· refers to as "old relics." They line one wall of the st udio where he also displays his "one-of-the-kind prototype." the electric dulcimer, along with an electric lap steel guitar which he made for himself and plays with a slide. As for performance, Spencer says he has no interest.

Since 1835, a large brick house, essentially a mansion in its time and place, has stood sentinel on the banks of the Ohio River. It is the home of the Jenkins ·family, the most notable of whom was General Albert Gallatin Jenkins, C.S.A. His family owned more than 4,000 acres and maintained a successful plantation at Green Bottom, m what was then western Virginia. In an area where both Union and Confederate sympathies were strongly held, Jenkins was a figure who was either despised or admired. His Border Rangers made · bold raids into the . enemy territory of Ohio." The above appears on the . Web site for the West · Virginia Division of Culture and History regarding the Jenkins Plantation Museum in Green Bottom, which is about 15 miles north of Huntington on W.Va. 2. The father of Albert and the builder of the above mentioned · mansion, William Jenkins, was a frequent visitor to Gallipolis, having at one time business interests here. It is also said that Albert recruited a number of his Border Ranger~ from amon~ the student body ·Of Galha Academy. and Harvard Law School. He had his law practice in Charleston from about 1850 to 1859, when he went home to take over the family plantation, which by then had ·so slaves. He was also a congressman for two terms, resign- . ing from Congress in early 1861 to return to Green Bottom to organize a company of rangers. This group later formed a part of the 8th Virginia Cavalry C.S.A. In 186~, Jenkins was a del- · egate to the First Confederate Congress. In the fall of 1862, Jenkins led a raid that actually temporarily took over Racine, Ohio, makin~ it perhaps the first incurston mto the north by organized Confederate troops. Jenkins led another raid in early 1863 that inclu'ded on its agenda, Point Pleasant. He was at the battle of Gettysburg, where he was wounded. In early 1864, Jenkins organized a large cavalry force which on May 9, 1864, met George Crook's army at the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain.

GODFREY FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This may seem like a funny question, but have you talked with your children lately about their financial goals? They don't have to be lofty, but your k.ids should have some goals !hat require them to take a longer view when it comes to money. It doesn't matter whether they' re saving for an iPod, a car or a college education, the impo)1ant thing is that they're thinking about the future. The first step in helping your .youngsters achieve their financial objectiv~s is to explain what a goal 1s..A child's definition of a money · goal is gathering enough to buy something they want. Ask your children to think about the things they want that cost money. If they brainstorm long enough, they'll probably come up with quil!l a list! . Try to separate short-term and long-term goals. Ask your kids to make a list of short-term goals - things that can . be accomplished within about six months . They should think carefully about how much they can realistically save within that time period. Have your k.ids add up how much they have coming in, including allowance and gifts. Suppose this averages out to about $10 per week, and they agree to save 40 percent of their income for future goals. You may need to help them with the math. Let's say their goal is to buy an iPod that costs about $100. If they make $10 per week, 40 percent of that is $4. Now they can calculate that it would take about six months to reach their goal. Consider variations on the savings plan. How long would it take to save for that iPod. if they set aside just 10 percent of their income each week? What if they saved half their allowance? What if they earned extra 'money by doing odd jobs? This will teach them important lessons about saving, and the value of earning extra money. Another interesting exercise is to let your children , interview you about your own shon-term and long- . term goals. This will open · up a dialogue about how you think about the future. Begin by telling them what it was like when you were y_oung. Did you have a lo~g­ term goal you were savmJ1; for, such as college or a car'/ . Back then, my goal was saving for college. Tell them how much rour goal cost you at that lime. When I went to college, tuition cost $1,500 per semester. Be sure to tell them how much you earned at that time, too. For rne, the minimum wage had not yet hlt $1 an hour l I earned 50 cents an hour for baby-sitting. Alone, meek voice of reason, Bob Newhart covers his life, career and comedy in a new book BY FRAZIER MOORE N' TELEVISION WRITER NEW YORK Bob Newhart has SQme lessons for us about comedy. Comedians are sadistic, he writes in his new book. Also self-absorbed, perverse, thinskinned and prone to exhibit multiple pers_on;llities. Newhart doesn't bother to excuse himself from these blanket pronouncements. But anyone who reads his charming memoir, "I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This (and Other Things That Strike Me as Funny)" (Hyperion), will come away only more sure of what they already knew: After nearly a half-century making us laugh, Newhart remains what set him apart from other comedians in the fli'St place ... an ordinary man befuddled by the world around him. A guy like us. Just much shrewder and funnier. Through the years, he has had a half-dozen TV series - two of them highly successful, and oile, "The Bob - Newhart Show," a classic that granted his comic sensibility the perfect outlet: a discomfited psychologist with a loopy clientele. He has also been in numer· ous films, including the hit "Elf' as the diminutive dad of adopted fu11-size son Will Ferrell. In a guest role on "Desperate Housey;ives" last Season he played the sadsack ex-husband of Teri Hatcher's dishy mom. And at age 77 he continues as a standup with the same refreshing insight that, in his 20s, made this Chicago.oom ex-accountant the hottest comedian in the land. "I've always likened what I do to the man who is convinced that he is the lastsane man on Earth," Newhart writes, "... the Paul Revere of psychotics running through the town and yelling 'This is crazy.' But no one pays .attention to him." . Except Newhart has never, ever yelled. (His is the meek, though persistent, voice of reason further mitigated by his signature stammer.) Also: His audience hangs on his every word. He was launched into stardom with the 1960 release of "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart," an instant best-seller that won him the Grarnmy for record of the year. · Among the routines on that album, Newhart imagined the flak the Wrig])t Brothers must have met with when marketing their invention: "It's going to cut our time to the coast," their salesman warns, "if we have to land every I 05 feet.'' Newhart could also embody a security guard at the Empire State Building who, his ftrst night on the job, ha~ to phone his supervisor to ask what to do about a giant ape: "I doubt very much if he signed the book downstairs." And he was able to penetrate the pinched brain of a railroad dispatcher who does nothing to stop a headon collision because he doesn 't have the proper form: "I can't touch these levers until I get a D-07." Newhart zeroed in on stupid rules; by-the-book policies and bureaucratic muck, as well as the rest of humanity's SOP: all those things we do that don't make sense. "Being a comedian," he writes. "means you are antiauthority at heart." And .not only was Newhart rebellious with the tar~ets he chose, but also in h1s "button-down" delivery, itself a rebellion against the typical style pf standup at the time: a rapidfire, "take-my-wifeplease" onslaught of jokes. Funny, but Newhart doesn't fit the picture of a revolutionary. Nonhen . And not recently during an interview, this easygoing guy in gray slacks and blue blazer who looks like an affable retired accountant. (Which , of course, he sort of is.)

If ~ou have a gas line already, tt must be connected to the cook top. Beware deals that seem too good to be true JAMES A_ND MORRIS CAREY BY FOR THE ASSOCIATED W P~ESS e recen~ly came . across a newspaper advertisement inviting readers to take advantage of an "unbelievable" kitchen remodeling "package" for just under $10,000! The display showed a photo of a lovely kitchen. and even offered to throw in a . free sink with prest;:ntation of the ad. Upon closer examination, we noticed a small asterisk next to the price that refer-. enced some very fine print at the bottom of the ad. It said the special "base package" included: removal and disposal of existing cabinets and countertops; installation of up to 12 cabinets; two 8foot slap granite countertops with a bullnose edge and 4-inch backsplash (choice of' three colo,rs); cutouts in 'the slab for a sink and faucet; and installation of a sink and faucet. Sounds pretty good, right? Wrong! , What stood out to us as veteran remodelers and consumer advocates were ail the ·missing details. There·s no way a consumer could end up with a completely remod- elcd kitchen for the price being offered. Less-thanrespectable contractors use such ads to get their foot in your door, and then c;m bury you .with change orders that can double. triple or even quadruple the price. Sadly for the unknowing consumer, the small print at the bonom of the ad didn 't include many item's or details that typically accompany a. kitchen remodel new appliances, for · example . What could be -more wonderful than having a brand new kitchen with beautiful cabinets and cotmte.rtops with your old coppertone. harvest. gold or olive greep appliances'1 lsn 't that what y.Ju were expecting?

Any kitchen designer will tell you that lighting is one of the most imponant elements of a remodeling project. Beyond improving . the space's aesthetics, good lighting makes working in the kitchen safer and easier. Although the ''s pecial package" did mention install ation of a si nk and faucet, and offered a "free" sink. there ' was no mention of a new faucet. How great is that? New cabinets. new granite counters, a new sink (quality questionable) .and your old mineral-deposit_covered faucet that has been leaking for years! Now let 's look at plumbin ~. Wouldij 't it be nice to have a more powerful , qui eter garbage disposal? An in>tant hot-water dispcn;er or sink-mounted soap dispe1ber'? Does your refrigerator ha\'c an icemaker and, if so. has the water supply beeri run? Have you dreamed of cooking' with gas and chucking your old electric cook top? That could be a problem unless you , have a gas line installed. And if you do, the gas must be connected to the cook top, and a more powerful range hood' dueled to the exterior.' Whew' . Plumbers, like electricians, aren't ·cheap. Your budget could easily triple with these few considerations- and that's only if nothing goes wrong. And in remodeling something always goes wrong. A good contractor expects it and knows how to deal with it. · Other glaring oveFSights in this "kitchen special" include flooring. Are you prepared to li \•e with your '70s brick-pattern worn vinyl floor, or did you have visions of new hardwood ·o r c,eramic tile? · More often than not, ·kitchen flooring continues into adjoining rooms, so a flooring budget can be sizable.

About 600 utility-sponsored programs around the country ask customers to pay a premium on their rates to support development of renewable energy sources, Costello said. ·In many such programs, customers are told their power is coming from some combination of wind turbines, hydroelectric dams or other renewable sources. But there's less specificity about the sources of that. power than there is with the CVPS program, he said. "One of the reasons we did cow power as opposed to wind or just plain renew" abies is the homegrown nature of it and its connec_. tion to Vermont," he said. Customers can "drive by the f311D and see where their energy is coming from and stop by for a visit if they . want to."

Green Mountain College is seizing the power of cow dung. The 760-student school, located along the VermontNew York line, started Thursday to get half of its electricity from farms that run generators powered by methane gas extracted from cow manure. The college will pay an extra $48,000 on its $250,000-a-year electricity bill for the privilege, which will help it reduce its reliance on non-renewable energy that pollutes the environment. "It's a perfect fit ," said college President John F. Brennan. "We' re an envi ronmental college. We're dedicated to environmental applications and renewable energy.'; College and utilitY officials gathered at Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, 35 miles north of campus, to announce the agreement.
