Bv THOMAS WAGNER BY SELLO MOTSETA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOBATSE, Botswana Botswana's High Court ruled Wednesday that the country's Bushmen are entitled to live and hunt on their anceslrallands in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a decision hailed as a victory for indigenous peoples. The Basarwa tribesmen had accused the government of evicting them - in many cases at gunpoint to exploit. the diamond anti mineral potential of a reserve the size of Switzerland. The government claimed the tribe agreed to move as part of efforts to protect the reserve, that it had already owned the mineral rights, and that the tribe had been compensated for the land. "I feel only happiness and confidence that I can go back," said Junanda Gakelevone of the First People of the Kalahari, a group representing the Basarwa. "!'want to go back home now," he said amid singing and dancing by some two dozen fellow tribesmen, many wearing traditional clothes and horns. There was no comment from the government. The parties have six weeks to appeal. For over 20,000 years, clans of hunter-gathers have survived in central Botswana' s stark. desert plains. They were the original inhabitants of a vast area stretching from the tip of South Africa to the Zambezi valley in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Their rock paintin$s, knowledge of native wildlife and ability to survive in one of the harshest environments on Earth have fascinated scholars. They were the subject of a hit movie: ''The Gods Must Be Crazy." The Basarwa, who are also known as Bushmen or San, were driven to near extinction by Bantu tribes who started pushing south from central Africa about I ,500 years ago and the Europeans who followed 350 years ago. The settlers took the most fertile land and the Bushmen retreated into the arid and semi-arid lands of the Kalahari desert. Only an estimated I 00,000 are left today, most living in poverty on society 's fringes. By a vote of 2-1, the judges found that the Bushmen were "forcibly and AP photo Women celebrate outside court in Lobatse. Botswana, Wednesday after t he High Court ruled that the country's last re maining tribe of hunter-gatherers was entitled to live and hunt on ancestral lands in a game reserve. wrongly deprived of their possessions,'-' by the government: Gordon Bennett, a lawyer for tribesmen, sai<l that referred to the land. By a similar vote, the court ruled the refusal to allow the Bushmen into the game reserve without a permit was unconstitutionaL It also said the state's refusal to issue specia! game licenses to allow the tribesmen to hunt violated Botswana's constitution. The three-judge panel, in a unanimous decision, said the Basarwa were legally living on their land before 2002. The court also ruled, however, that the government was not obliged to provide basic services like water to anyone returning. to the reserve . And the court said the decision to cut off the services in the first place was neither "unlawful nor unconstitutional." Bennett said the Bushmen did not consider water and other basic services a big issue, and would now focus on negotiating with the govemment on an orderly return. Some 2,000 of the Bushmen have moved to two new settlements, leaving a handful · of holdouts. Government authorities say their living conditions have improved, with the provision of drinking water, schools and medical facilities. But Bushmen representarives argue that they have suffered from the disruption to their traditional way of · life and have fallen victim to alcoholism and AIDS . At least 12 percent of the original 239 Bushmen involved in the lawsuit died in government resettlement camps, according to Britishbased aid group Survival . International, which supported the tribe's suit. This year, 135 asked to be added to the original petition. Botswana is regarded as a model of democracy and good management in Africa, a continent plagued by corruption and poverty. The dispute over the reserve and support for the Basarwa cause from notables like Nobel laureate Desmond Thtu - was an embarrassment to the government. The southern African nation is the world's largest producer of diamonds. The Bushmen have appealed for help from actor Leonardo DiCaprio, whose new film "Blood Diamond" shows how diamonds financed civil war in Sierra Leone in the 1990s. . British colonial authorities established the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in 1961 to protect an area rich in wildlife. Botswana supported lraditional communities after independence in 1966, provi ding . water, food and mobile clinics in the reserve. With time, however, Basarwa families started building pemianent settlements, raising goats and planting crops. Instead of hunti~ on foot, with arrows tipped m poison, they began usmg horses and fourwheel-drive vehicles, drying and selling excess meat to outsiders. By 1985, wildlife officials were worried about environ mental damage, and local administrators complained about the cost of providing services · to remote settlements. Basarwa leaders said the government's arguments failed to take into account their traditions, such as the need to be buried near their ancestors. "Today is the happiest day for us Bushmen," said one of their leaders, Roy Sesana. "We have been crying for so long, but today we are crying with happiness. Finally we have been set free." Shiite-dorllinated security forces protect all sides. "I mean, that 's another set of eyes that tbe Iraqi leadership can count on to ensure that their security forces are perfom1ing in a nonsectarian manner out there on the street," he told reporters . The New York Times ftrst reported the pi~ Wedne~y. citing lraq1 Nattonal Secunty Adviser Mouwafak a) Rubaie. as saying it called for puUing back most American trOOpS from cenlral Baghdad and redefining their mission so they concentrate primarily on fighting al-Qaida and Sunni extremists. A close aide to Prime Minister · Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press that the proposal for the Iraqi army to take over security in Baghdad and other cities was first proposed to Bush by al-Maliki at their Nov. 30 summit< "I can tell you that by next June, our forces will take over the security of the country," al-Maliki was quoted as saying then. · , This plan was drafted by a joint committee made up of Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq; U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad; and Iraq's defense and interior ministers and its national security adviser, the aide said.

The electricity-generating solar (\!Tay served as a temporary power source aboard the orbiting outpost. NASA needed to rnove it out of the way so that a new, permanent pair of solar wings could rotate in the direction of the sun ·and generate power for the space station.

"We want to have an institution here that preserves the heritage of this place ," said Don Sullenger, a retired employee of the Mound nuclear weapons plant and past president of the Mound Museum. "There was a high level of technological skill here, and they accomplished some amazing things." The Mound plant, built in 1947, was situated on a 306acre site in this city 10 miles south of Dayton. The workers, who numbered more than 2,000 at the height of production, made plutonium detonators for .nuclear weapons. Their work was highly sttretive. The plant had · a small • army of security guards and was ringed by chain-link fencing and razor wire. When the Cold War ende<:l, the plant di scontinued the detonator work but continued to make generators for space probes.

BY , NICOLE fiELDS NRELDS@MYOAILVREGISTER.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - This tsn't your average light show. In fact, with a reindeer fishing in the lake and gingerbread men turning cartwheels along a 40-foot path, there 's •a good possi bility that this year's Christmas Fantasy Light Show at Krodel Park will feature something new and unusual for everyone. That's the opinion · of Charles Humphreys, director of the Matn Street Point Pleasant organization, who said that, as the annual show gears up for its busiest weekends with several new displays, more and more people are coming out for the fun. The show, which is hosted each year by Main Street and the City of Point Pleasant, has been open since mid-November and already has seen more traffic this year than it had at the midway point in 2005. Even more new displays are up, including the show's tallest display, a 24-foot gingerbread man jumping on a trampoline, and Humphreys said that by the end of the show's run on Dec. 31, nearly 175 displays will be spread thn;mghout the park. He called this year's show the "biggest and best yet," and said it's an experience that should not be missed. "It's growing each year and becoming a better show each year," Humphreys said. "(Visitors) will see a lot of Nicole Fleldl/plloto Community work crew Inmates from the Lakin Correctional Center check lighted displays for the Christmas Fantasy Light Show at Krodel Park.

We' d like to see every kid from Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties come out and see it." Volunteers and city workers continue to put their time in, CPnstantly repairing displays and checking lights for the show. They recently put the finishing touches on several new displays, and more displays, including animated ones, will be added as the show goes on, creating a differenl experience each week. Humphreys said that between 30,000 and 40.,000 people visited the show last year, and so far this year, people have not been disappointed. "Everybody says the colors are much brighter, and they like the new displays. We're still looking good, and we get better each day," he added. The Christmas Fantasy Light Show is open 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. daily and runs through the , end ' of December. The show is free, but donations will be accepted, and Humphreys said that all the money raised will be used for the revitalization and economic development of the community.

Jimo Adams was one of 75 people killed in the Marshall University plane crash. Patty Smith never knew her father. And for more than 30 years, she didn~ t know her roots, or at least her father's , were dug deep m north central Oh10. Smtth was adopted by Andy and Vicky Smtih two weeks after her b1rth On June 28, 2002, the suburban Washington, D.C., res1dent, who searched for her natural parents on and off over a penod of years, was standing in hne at a Starbucks when her cell phone rang In a couple of sentences, she found and lost her father forever M1llie Mam, a soctal worker at the AdoptiOn Resource Center of the Children's Home Society m Charleston, W.Va., helped Smtth scale her natural family tree. " It was a very bizarre feehng," says Smith, who hves wtth her husband, Paul, and three small daughters "Outstde of the btrth of my chtldren and bemg with my (adopted) father when he dted, tl was one of the most intense moments in my hfe. "When they said he was no longer living, instantaneously I had an endmg to thts story. It's hard to explain It was very excttmg and very sad " Adams was a 5-foot-10, 21 0-pound senior at Marshall U m verslly at the time hts daughter was The 21-year-old born worked mto acllon as a long snapper and backup pulhng guard for the Thundenng Herd football team. The team was returning from a heartbreakmg 17-14 loss at East Carohna when tts plane crashed on Nov 14, 1970 It was, and sull IS, constdered the worst au Wahama fromPageBl Area team since transferring from Meigs High School. Smith's huge offensive outing mcluded I 0 twopomt field goals, a pau of treys ,and one of two from the hne to pace the WHS attack Semor Brenton Clark contributed 16 pomts on the day and converted a patr of clutch free throws in the final seconds to preserve the Falcons comeback rally. Wahama, after getting 12 players into the scoring column during a season opemng wm over Ohw Newt from PageBl The h1gh school games begm at 5 p.m on Saturday wnh L1berty Umon playmg Rtver Valley Western Latham and West Jefferson are scheduled to tip-off at 6 45 and the mghtcap pits Oak Htll agamst Wellston.

Cavaliers from PageBl Ca vs allowed the Bobcats easy baskets m a 15-5 run Gerald Wallace 's bucket got Charlotte wnhm 70-69 before Cleveland closed the penod wnh a I 0-4 spurt special educallon. H1s summer job was at the steel mill in Mansfteld, and he volunteered at a spec1al education school m Huntington while m college. "He loved to be around kids," Selman remembers. Jtmo was a member of P1 Kappa Alpha and had a steady girlfnend. In the spring of hts JUntor year, he found out she was pregnant. "He came home and told us he got the girl m trouble," Selman says "He said he wanted to marry her but her parents wouldn't let her. "We tried to go through a lawyer to contact them. We didn't want it to turn into a btg fight, but they didn't want anythmg to do w1th II "When J1mo dted, we d1dn ' t know anythmg about the baby We d1dn't know 1f It was a boy or a gtrl, 1f she'd had an abortion, if she'd given ll up for adoption, we didn't know anything." Patty Smith was that baby, and she says her btrth 1s one of the many 1romes m her life. "It's surreal how that all unfolded 36 years ago," Smtth says. "Neuber party knowmg what was' happening wtth the other There are family members that know parts of the story. but not all of lt. ,, Patty sttll hasn't made contact w1th her biOlogical mother - per the natural mother's choice. " But that's OK I'm cool wtth it right now," Smith says. "I don't thmk that chapter of the book has closed yet." Smtih came to Man sfteld m September of 2002 to meet the Selmans She's returned a couple of ltmes since "It's fun for me to go places there, I hke to go to Cny News," she says of the downtown busmess. "The woman who owns that place knew Jimo It seems ltke everywhere we go Hysen wtll pomt out someone to me, that's one of your cousms, that was one of h1s fnends "For the longest ume I didn't have any idea who I was, and now I have all these new relationships." boss knew so meone at (Mansfield Lahm Atrport) and they called me They got through to the auport m Huntington and they sa1d there were no survivors "When Georgene got home she couldn't figure out why everyone was callmg She came into the house and sat down Telhng her was the hardest thmg I've ever had to do in my hfe." She never got over it. "Every year, I hated to see Nov. 14 come - and March I, J1mo's btrthday," Selman says Kym Adams was 3 at the ume She has only a few spotty memones of the event "I remember mom was running around here packmg bags all over the place They took (my half-stster and me) to Mansfteld and we stayed wtth my grandparents while they drove down to Huntmgton, " Adams says "That was my dad's only son It was JUSt devastating for him. He would JUSt shut down in November and March He was just a bear to live wllh dunng those times." The death of a child at such a young age would parent dec1mate any J1mo's exuberant personaltty, JOte de vtvre and hts sudden tragtc death , made It even more d1fftcult on h1s parents "I just have a couple of very vtvtd memones of h1m," Kym Adams says. "He would dnve up here m hts two-seater sports car, and he was JUSt huge "He had such a wonderful heart and he was such a canng and gtvmg person " A popular stud ent and teammate m htgh school, Jimo lettered in wresth ng and track, but he really excelled m football He was a second-team UPI All-Ohw defen>tVe tackle and a f1rst-team AP AllNorthwest D1stnct offenstve tackle for the !ygers He played m the 1967 North-South All-Star football game m Canton To th1 s day, Mansf1eld Senior's football program annually awards a trophy m his name to the most ded1cated offenstv~ hneman "He was older than me, I was JUSt a kid, but he made me feel hke one of the guys," Mansfield Senior athlettc duector Dick Wmdbtgler satd "From what I know of htm, he was a wonderful ktd, a very mce guy" J1mo was gmng to attend college and play football in M1ssoun at a small college wllh classmate and friend Jeff Koroknay Then, JUSt a few weeks before he was to leave, J1mo was contacted by Marshall asststant coach Red Dawson, played by Fox m the movie "Red Dawson saw h1m that summer at Mansfield Semor and came by the house (to recruit him) Jtmo asked us what he should do," Selman remembers "We JUSt said he should do whatever he wanted to do, so he went to West Vtrgima " Iromcally, Dawson was on a recrullmg trip and was one of the few members of the program not on the flight. For J1mo, bemg at Marshall was a challenge The Thundenng Herd were m a constant rebutldmg mode, and Adams played for a couple of different coaches m four years. He was m and out of the starling lineup and the team was 3-6 after the loss to East Carohna. "When he first got there Charlie Snyder was the coach. But 11 seemed to Jimo hke (head coach Rtck) Tolley would do everything to get those ktds to leave the team," Selman remembers of his stepson's ftnal autumn. "J1mo went mto Tolley ' s office and asked what he had to do to stay on the team. He just satd to keep workmg hard, pracucmg hard and playmg hard and Jimo did. " Hysen and Georgene would drive to Huntington to attend a couple of games every yea1, and made a spec tal pomt of bemg there for Parent 's Day James Adams, a bncklayer for 45 years, watched hts son when Marshall traveled north to challenge Toledo or Bowhng Green. Off the field, Selman says Jtmo was on track to graduate wtth a degree m Valley Chnsuan on Tuesday, placed only four scorers m the books agamst !ygarts Valley with Casey Hamson and Kevm Wasonga netllng six pomts apiece in addition to the offense from Smnh and Clark. The While Falcons did, however, receive some outstandmg defenstve efforts from Gabe Roush and Keith Pearson in holdmg the Bulldogs 6-foot-9 center and 6-6 forward m check for most of the day. "We played a nice game and beat a quality opponent that returned four starters from a 16 wm team a year ago," Toth sa1d followmg the satlsfymg hardwood victory "Jordan Smith had a breakthrough game for us and Brenton Clark btl a couple of clutch free throws down the stretch.

"She thought she was Irish, and we blew that. she's German," · Here Hysen Selman says "You look at her and you can see some of Jtmo's tratts. The eyes and the nose. They both had kind of the same ·swayback walk " Unfortunately, Kym . Adams says James Adams • d1ed never knowmg of Patty's ex1stence "Right before he d1ed my dad said, 'I could have another grandchild out : there and not even know . about 11,"' It's yet another tWISt in a . story filled with them. Still, Kym called Patty ear her this month m hopes · of touching base with her mece. "This whole thing is hke the circle of hfe," Kym Adams says. "Even on the day of Jimo's death, a p1ece from his hfe was just begmning " Patty wasn't able to attend the movie premiere. However, she hopes to watch the movie wnh Hysen "I have m1xed emotwns io see n. Just watchmg some of the tra1lers on the Internet, and the scenes of the crash, it's difficult for me to watch. When the f1re ' sweeps through the plane, I get ch0ked up just to talk about 11," she says. "I'd hke to see 11 at the theater and maybe Hysen can gmde me through 11." Patty plans to return to Mansfield m February. She' II make the acceptance speech when Jimo is mducted mto the Mansfield Senior Hall of Fame " I've read h1s yearbook, and just from what was , wntten in 1t you get a sense -of hts personality," Patty ' says "Everything that's · happened has been beyond , my wtldest expectations ' "I bave gotten letters from fnends and people who went to school with him, (they) wtll contact me and tell me stories about my father "I think that speaks a lot about him ." disaster m Amencan sports history Tuesday, a special prenuere of "We Are Marshall," starnng Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Fox and Ian McShane, was bemg conducted m Huntington for famIly members .and friends. The movie opens nationwide Dec. 22 . . Mansfield's Hysen Selman, J1mo's stepfather, and Oak Harbor's Kym Adams, Jimo's half-sister, were m attendance along w1th an assortment of famIly members and fnends. Jtmo's mother, Georgene Selman, and father, James Adams, divorced when he was a youngster. Both parL ents remarned and James Adams moved to Oak Harbor. Jimo grew up w1th his mother and stepfather in Mansfield. Both James Adams and · Georgene Selman died in 2004. "I'm lookmg for the movie to be a heahng thing, maybe to bring some closure for some of the families," says Kym Adams, an Oak Harbor resident "It's just too bad they couldn't have made th1s mov1e a couple"of years ago, when my dad could ' ve seen tt." The Warner Bros production casts a national spotlight on a subject Hysen Selman can never forget. The proprietor of the Wagon Wheel restaurant m Mansfteld quivers upon mentwn of that day.

Wednesday. . Cowher to deeide his · future after the season ne BY DAVID GtNS8URII ASSOCIATED PRESS OWINGS MILLS , Md. - His numbers aren't as gaudy as those of LaDainian Tomlinson or Drew Brees, yet Steve McNair probably de serves consideration when it comes time to select the 2006 NFL MVP. The Baltimore Ravens went 6-10 last year. This season they' re I 0-3. The turnaround can be attributed largely to McNair, wbo has taken control of an offense that never realized its potential with Kyle · Boller or Anthony Wright at quarterback. "McNair has been outstanding. I saw tremendous lift from Day I," Ravens minority owner Art Modell said Wednesday. "There's something very positive about the man . He 's under control, and the team reflects that. I think he's responsible for our success. Not alone, but he's been a good part of our success offensively this year." Although McNair ranks 13th in the NFL with an 83. l passer rating, he has thrown 13 touchdown passes compared to nine interceptions and has led Baltimore to six win& in seven games. He hasn' t thrown an interception in four consecutive games, a string of 142 passes that represents the best streak in his career. Good stuff, but that doesn't begin to address his value to the team. "It's not about statistics. It's more about a mind-set that we get in when we're out there, and he's a big part of that," tight end Todd Heap said. "He days til Christmas deserves a lot of credit for ble MVP? what's going on." "You're asking the McNair enjoyed a fine wrong guy," Ravens coach 11-year run with the Brian Billick said.

Today. all three fourth gmde classrooms (around 56 kids) will be walking the streets of Racine, homemade cookies, candies and a present in hand for around a dozen special people in their community that may have trouble getting out to enjoy the holiday season. The children will also be visiting Home National Bank and the Racine Post Office, spreading holiday cheer downtown. .Spreading that holiday cheer includes singing Christmas carols with the help of Southern Elementary Music- Teacher Chad Dodson who will be accompanying his students on guitar. . Also accompanying the students will be Santa Claus who will be passing out a present to the special people that receive a visit from the fourth graders who may be shut in for whatever reason for the Christmas season. The gift was provided by the Southern K-8 PTO. The teachers and students provided the ingredients and made the cookies and candy at school yesterday with the help of the school's concession stand oven and even the oven of former principal Mickey Kucsma who lives across . the street from the school. · Yesterday students were busy stirring icing and decor;uing cookies, overwhelming any visitors to their classroom ' with the sweet smell of sugar. . . So why do this? "This was a way we could reach out to the community," said Mrs. Barr, who along with the classrooms of Mrs.Pape and. Mrs . VanMeter ' prepared the goodies. Of course those goodies were also helped along by countless Southern K-8 PTO volunteers. PTO. Volunteer Jennifer Hoback said just from Mrs. Barr's classroom alone over 25 dozen cookies had been prepared as well as special candies called "smoothies." POMEROY Preliminary figures collected from the sale of Ohio hunting licenses indicate that more young people are joining the hunttng ranks, the Ohio Division of Wildlife reported. Sales of youth hunting licenses are up 45 percent from last year's record total . . So far, 52,952 youth hunting licenses and 7,666 appren~ tice youth hunting licenses have been sold. The number of 60,628 far surpasses last year's total of 41,850. In 1992, 29,571 were sold. Youth deer permit sales are up 53 percent, youth spring turkey permit sales are up 31 percent and youth fur takers rose 59 percent. "Involving more young hunters,. anglers, and trappers has been an important mitiative for the Division of Wildlife in the last several years," said Steven A. Gray, chief of the division. "More ·and more families are experiencing the variety of Ohio hunting opportunities." Many young hunters have taken advanta~e of Ohio's new apprenuce hunting license. This allows new hunters, both adults and youth, to sample the experience of huntmg under the mentorship of a licensed adult, prior to completion of a hunter education course. It was developed as part of a nationwide effort called "Families Afield," designed to remove barriers that prevent hunters from passing along the hunting heritage. Four special youth-only hunting seasons are offered for wild turkey, deer, pheasant and rabbit and waterfowl. Youth hunters pay half the general hunting license fee that adult hunters pay, $12.
