Morrison Elementary School: Live nativity to be presented Nigeria Anglicans form pact with two U.S. groups outside Anglican Communion PITTSBURGH (AP) During a rally of U.S. conservatives, the head of the Anglican Church of Nigeria announced formation of a "covenant union" with the Reformed Episcopal Church and Anglican Province of America, two small conservative denominations that broke from the Episcopal Church. It was the latest instance of conservative Anglicans overseas forming ties with former Episcopalians within the United States. Nigeria's Archbishop Peter Akinola is head of the second- i' largest branch of the international Anglican Conununion but the two denominations it allied with are not recognized by the Anglican spiritual leader, Archbishop of Cant~rbury Rowan Williams . The accord pledges cooperation between the Nigenans and Americans in mission work and in the sharing of bishops and priests. The three churches said they are committed to belief "based on the. irrevocable Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the final authority for faith and life." ·r i' i' ·i' -r ·r In September, the Nigerian church also authorized a Convocation for Anglicans in North America to provide bishops and pastoral care for people who are "alienated by the actions ·or· the Episcopal Church.

As what appear to be tiny pinpoints of flame twinkle down fro m the vault of heaven arching across the endless sky, we know indeed that each is actually a blazing ball of flame and fi re. And though we may also know that such light and heat is the result of colossal explosions and fu sions and that one bla~ ing furnace in the sky functions similarly to each of the others, still the glory of any one star that we behold is inconceivable whether we spin about it in orbit or are merely observing· its light from millions of light-years away. Each star is uniquely created with unique position and unique purpose in the sky through which it sails in apparent perpetual journey. No two stars are identical whether we're discussing the actual mass and breadth of said stars or we're considering those objects upon which its light and warmth shine. "And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to sep. arate the day from the· night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the eanh.' And it was so. God made two great lights - the greater. light to govern the. day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to g1ve light on the eanh, to .govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from darkness. And God saw that it was good" (Genesis 1:14-18 NIV) . And just as these• cosmic lampposts are each fashioned by the Divine Hand and appointed their own stellar duties, so each man and woman, boy and girl is uniquely created and positioned in this more temporal existence by that same Hand. And since we know that "He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name" (Psalm 147:4 NIV), we .can also know that our li.ves are not accidental and that our ·place and purpose in this world are not incidentaL "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which r ·r r i' i' Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Ship found 137 years after sinking in Lake Erie· CLEVELAND (AP) Divers have located the most coveted of all Lake Erie shipwrecks. The Cortland was only a year old when it sank on June 20, 1868. The 173-foot, three-masted bark was one of the largest sailing vessels on the Great Lakes. ' It was carryin~ iron ore in the dark and dnzzle off the shore of Lorain, on course to pass the passenger steamer Morning Star. · Around midnight, a crewman on the Cortland told the first mate to clean the dimming green oil lantern so the approaching steamer would see them. The mate took down the lantern. Twenty minutes passed, and still the lantern was not returned. The crewman saw the Morning Star· heading for them and ran to the bell. His warning· came too late. The ships collided, sinking both and killing 38 people. Bodies washed ashore for weeks. Only the Morning Star was recovered. "We are thrilled that they have found thi-s wreck," said. Georgann Wachter, a diver from Avon Lake. She and her . husband, Michael, have writ· ten three books about Lake Erie shipwrecks. Hannibal Locks and Dam reopens after barge accident NEW MARTINSVILLE, W.Va. (AP)- The Hannibal Locks and Dam on the Ohio River reopened Thursday morning after being shut down overnight by a barge accident. A tug boat pushing nine coal -laden barges lost power Wednesday night and several barges crashed into a wall at the locks . The accident caused only minor cosmetic damage, U.S . Army Corps of Engineers spokeswoman Karen Auer said Thursday. Six men aboard the tug boat, owned by Mon River Towing from Belle Vernon, Pa., were not injured: Auer said. ' The main lock reopened at about 7 a.m. Thursday. The smaller- lock was being used to store the tug boat and the barges until the corps could examine them and Mon River Towing could retrieve them, Auer said. No boats or barges were waiting to go through the locks when the main lock reopened, she said. The locks, located about 126 miles down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, were closed for several days in November when a load-bearing seal on the main lock gate failed . The Hannibal locks average about 5,000 commercial lockages annually. More than 52 million tons of cargo, primarily coal, is shipped through the "facility every year. chi~lor ci lhe)'fllfiiJ')K VP WV (~in'['aclic S..x·~ti)" ~ ~ mt:~D iRJ.il\1111\D. ~~1'\';B'RJI¥~~1).

'· DEAR ABBY: My wife, " Myra." and I have been married more than 50 years. and a.Jl she does is watch soap operas every afternoon. I hav~ invited her to lunch and other outings only to be told, "OK. but I gotta be home by noon to watch my shows. " If the mailman or UPS arrives with a package between noon and 4 and I' m not there, Myra ignores the bell. We have three · adult children. If any of them call during that time. she'll refuse to talk to them even if it's an emergency. Once, it was our older daughter calling to say our son had been taken to the hospital with a major heart attack. Myra's sister died of a stroke one afternoon two years ago. My wife didn ' t learn about it until the to!lowing morning. On weekends, Myra is always in a bad mood because she says. ,;My soaps aren't on today." (The housecleaning doesn' t get done then. either, unless I db it.) What's wrong with people like her'! It's not the housework, Abby.

OVCS fourth ·graders experience 'Colonial Days' allows students an opportuni. ty to try some of the things that colonial children may have experienced," said Mrs. Gina Tillis, fourth grade teacher. "Students try their hand at several activities, such. as breadmaking and colonial candle wi c k1 ng/ embroidery, as well as role-playing colonial occupations in the classroom." At the beginning of the unit, students are assigned an occupation/identy to explore. For the three-week unit, they research their occupations such as blacksmith, cobbler, candlemaker, miller, etc., and prepare their pretend stores for "Market Day" where they barter their wares to other students. Students create ,;storefronts" on the colonial village bulletin board and prepare mini die-cut colonial people to represent themselves on the bulletin board. "Students love the roleplay, especially when we have special journal topic days. As I introduce some-thing new into the village, they write about their part in it and their reaction to it. The creative writing process allows students an opportunity to explore their American heritage," said Tillis. Fourth graders also .experienced their own ;'election day," as ·they had four candidates run for colonial governor. After hearing the campaign speeches and viewing . election student-made posters, students set up special polling places in the classroom to vote for governor. Students even made "I voted today" stickers to wear after their election. Connie Massie of the Gallia County OSU Extension Office, presented a program on colonial breadmaking. During the special course, students were given a taste of colonial history, which included making cornbread/journeycakes, griddlecakes and finally a loaf of homemade colonial bread for each student to take home. Students enjoyed a special colonial dre ss-up day and visited the Our Hou se Museum in Gallipolis. The private tour included viewing of many colonial exhibits at the museum. a special colonial "school" session, a tour of the outside kitchen, and a special craft and talk on the ·an of fanmaking . "Colonial Week is det:initely one of the . highlights of our fourth grade year," Mrs . Tillis said. "It makes hi story come alive tor students. and they often talk about it for a long time after the unit."

She emphasized that in creating arrangements, expensive containers are not essential. She further exemplified this idea by utilizing P. VC. pipe .in her synergistic design. She said that she has frequently improvised containers by gluing discarded metal food cqntainers together and spray painting them in bright colors. She also looks for materials from nature that she can use, such as the sea grape leaves that she found alo.ng the ocean on a vacation trip to Florida. When creating an arrangement, try to think of a way to make it exemplify the title of the class, she emphasized. In this case, the class title was "A Caroling We Will Go," so Bolin suggested . various means to use materials in the design to suggest caroling, such as ting-ting to suggest movement to or musical notes on the container. Use only three different materials in a creative arrangement: one line material. one kind of foliage, and one kind of flower. A minimum of three containers must . be used in this design, · but five or seven can be used.

"We are doing nothing wrong," senior executive vice president Pete Ward told the Indianapolis Star. "We've got the loudest stadium in the league, with the fans naturally providing that sound." Any crowd noise enhancement would be a violation of NFL rules, but NFL spokesman Steve Alic said the league is not investigating whether the Colts tried to make it difficult for the Steelers' offensive players to hear the snap counts. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the crowd noise during the unbeaten Colts' 26-7 victqry was so loud that center Jeff Hartings couldn't hear the play calls. Steelers right ~uard Kendall Simmons JUmped offsides three times because he couldn't hear the snap count. . "The crowd noise killed us, no question," running back Jerome Bettis said. "It killed us. You can never say what it means. how valuable it is. The sound is valuable. It's tough for you to do anything. Offensively, I! was tough for us to get going." Colts president Bill Polian raved about the fans in his weekly question-and-answer column posted Thursday on the team's Web site. "They were into it. They affected the outcome of the game," Polian said. "They bothered the Steelers. Their snap count was fouled up. They caused numerous penalties. That's the home · field advantage and that's . what you have in the National Football League." NFL rules permit supplemental noise until the offense breaks the huddle. At least one NFL team, the Redskins in 2000, has been · fined for supplementing the ·crowd noise. The Redskins . were tined $20,000 for pip- · ing noise from their cheerleaders through the public address system during a , game against Tampa Bay. Whether the Colts supplemen ted the crowd noise · came into question when Ed Werder, an ESPN reporter who covered the SteelersColts game, said on a Dallas radio show he heard the bass nmse comrng through the · stadium's speakers. The Steelers had no comment Thursday on the report. The Cavaliers reeled off eight straight wins rn November and ended the month with 10 wins for the first time since 1977-78. Last season, James was twice named the East's player of the month. Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers was named the We.stern Conference's best player in November. The Cavs open a three: game West Coast trip in Seattle on Friday. maJortty of the scoring for Eastern, Ryan Davis added two points and Jessica Hupp tacked . on one point in the loss. Despite the large deficit, the Lady Eagles showed signs of life, playing strong with the defendin'g cochamps until a late surge put them away. .

Everyone from chief Kevin Weiberg to the receptronist ligures to have so many, fingers and toes crossed that it would take a contortionist to get the receiver off the hook. The reason they· re all tied up in knots is simple: They need a clear-cut No. I and No. 2 in the national championship game to keep the mob howling for a playoff outside the gates - for at least one more year. For that to happen, heavily favored USC must beat Pac10 rival UCLA, and heavrly favored Texas must beat Big 12 rival Colorado. After some I ,250 Division 1-A games this season, only those two must fall favorably for the Rose Bowl to host the nation's only two undefeated teams. After years of trial an'd plenty of errors, the BCS has learned not to promise more than that. "It would be great rf we tinish the season without a lot of questions about whether we have the right two teams in the championship game," Weiberg sard during a teleconference earlier this week. How great the Big .l2 commissioner didn't want to say, but you can hardly blame him. Werberg is in the 11nal weeks of a two-year term as BCS coordinator, a job (read: uleer) that rotates among the six major conference commissioners. He 's endured as many hits as near-misses during that time and learned to be prepared for either. "We~ ve seen every year produce some surprises," Weiberg added, "so I'm not banking on that we won't see some surprises this year." It won't be any more effective than the BCS fingercrossing, but advocates of a playoff should be begging for a repeat of the final weekend of -1998. That's when unbeaten No. 2 UCLA was tripped up by Miami and unbeaten No. 3 Kansas State lost to Texas A&M in double-overtime, precipitating the greatest free-fallrn BCS history. In the span of one play, Kansas State went from facing Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl for the national champronship to meeting Purdue in the Alamo Bowl - and taking home $11 million less in the bargain. Which made Bobby Bowden's comment priceless. He was sitting in his living room on that fateful Saturday, doing nothing more strenuous than clicking the remote and watchrng the BCS waters part. The next day, after learnrng he and his No. 4 Seminoles were being ush -ered into the suddenly vacant Fiesta Bowl slot alongside Tennessee, Bowden chuckled, "[ have never accomplished so much doing nothing, just sitting on the couch." This · year's lucky couch potato could turn out to be Penn State coach Joe Paterno. Hi s Nmany Lions, ranked No. 3 in the BCS, are 10-1 and done with their regular season. Fourth-ranked LSU. also 10-1, could still be shoehorned into the national championship picture, too, but the fourth-ranked Tigers will frrst have to beat Georgia in the Southeastern Conference title game Saturday. Who else? There's too many scenarios to go into here if USC or Texas, m both, lose. But suffice it to say if that happens , the people at BCS headquarters will have plenty to do with those digits the second they're uncrossed. One possibility rs using them to immediately plug their ears, since there's gorng to be a few unhappy coaches on the line . Speaking of that, it 's been unusually quiet at the BCS the past few weeks, even as this season's injustices come into sharper focus. Assuming everything goes according to form, Oregon , at 10-1, looks to be· this yea(s most likely victim. The Ducks lost only to USC and want an at-large brd to the Fiesta Bowl. Unfortunately, the Fresta Bowl folks want two-loss Notre Dame and Ohio State teams instead. Something about snowbirds and Arizona at that time of year. That Oregon has done precious little squealing about rts fate this time around t~lls you how much a part of the college postseason fabrrc the BCS has become. Last week, a few high-ranking officials from the school reportedly dr-opped in on Fiesta Bowl executive director John Junker and pleaded their case over lunch And that was it. Five years ago, when the Ducks were passed over for a deserved shut at the title game because of some BCS machinations. coach Mike Bellotti infamously said, "!liken the BCS to a bad disease: hke cancer." But it's nothing like that. The BCS is just a conflict-ridden monopoly set up to make sure rich college programs and the chambers of commerce in a few select towns get rrcher. It rewards friends and ignores just about everybody else. It's like a lot of businesses. And let's be-clear: it playoff would be an equally maybe even more- lucrative bu siness . for anyone lucky enough to get their arms around it. It would also remove most of the guesswork from the equation, open up the field to a few more outsiders, and spread the money around. But then , what would all those people back at BCS headquarters do? Hobbled Dilfer practices with Browns BEREA (AP) - Browns starting quarterback Trent Dilfer, slowed by sore knees, participated in team drills during practice on Thursday and remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dilfer took some snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense. On Wednesday, Dilfer watched as rookie backup Charlie Frye worked exclusively with the starters.

The frightening collision also may have played a role in the horse's early retirement. Alleet Alex was retired Thursday because of a new injury discovered before the horse was shipped to Gulfstream Park in Florida this week. Another ankle injury had already sidelined Alleet Alex since his June II victory in the Belmont. "This injury probably started with that Preakness and, unfortunaiely, it 's been something we haven 't seen." trainer Tim Ritchey said .. "It's going to take too long to heal and he has io go on to another career where he· II be safe and happy." . Ritchey believes the recently discovered injury started as a bone bruise at the Preakness and caused the fracture in the colt's left front ankle. The fracture has healed. The other injury is basically brittle bone that was once badly brui sed, and has slowly lost its blood supply. "It will heal , bm you're looking at six to eight months," Ritchey said. "And with a horse of his value and his credentials, . he just needs to be retired and go to stud." Alleet Alex 'retires with eight win s in 12 starts and earn ings of $2,765,800 fo r the Cash Is King Stable, and nearly became the sport 's 12th Triple Crown winnec He finished third in the Kentucky Derby by a length, won the Preakness after nearly being knocked down by Scrappy Tin the turn fur horne and won the Belmont by seven length s.

First, you must put up dummy's club king at trick one. If instead you lake 1he trick wl1h your club quean, you will eithar have to win tha neKI eight tricKs or find clubs 44. If East takas dummy's club k>ng vith the ace and·returns a club, you will duck, win the third club, and work to keep Wes\ oH the lead. He<e, though , tha club king wins \he lnck.

You need to make an avoidance play to try lo insure lhat East never wins an early trick. At trick two, play a low spade to your nine. West wins wnh his 10, but he cannot hurt you.

The Zips (7-5) overcome a national conference championship-game record 270 ya.rds and two touchdowns by Huskie s tailback Garrett Wolfe to earn the first title in school history and a berth in the Motor City BowL Akron 's winning drive started on its own 19 with 1:41 left and no timeouts. The Zips drove into Northern Illinois (7-5) territory an·d Hiiwn beat Adriel Hansbro down the middle of the field and grabbed Getsy 's pass deep in the end zone. The Zips had never won a football title in any conference, dating to joining the Ohio Athletic Conference in 1915. Wolfe had 42 carries and easily broke the previous MAC title-game record of 188 yards, set by Toledo's Chester Taylor in 200 I , and the 2-year-old national record of 235 yanb. set by Kansas State's Darren Sproles. · The score was ti ed at 10 >~I halftime. Wolfe raced 62 yards to the Zips 20 midway through · the third, then scored his second touchdown on a 12yard burst. After a fumble, the Huskies made it 24-10 when Dan Nicholson hit Sam Hurd at the goal line with a 19-yard st<)ring pass. The Zips rallied and cut the margin to 24-17 on a 3yard run by Brett Biggs with 13:53 remaining. Chris Nendick pushed Northern Illinois' lead back to 10 points with a championship game-record 52-yard field goal. But Getsy countered with a 7-yard draw for 8 touchdown that pulled the Zips within 27-24 . Nendick's third field goal, a 46-yarder, made it a sixpoint game with 3:28 to go. Akron drove to the Northern Illinois 33, before Getsy's pass bounced off the hands of Dennis Kennedy and was intercepted by linebacker Phil Brown. Northern Illinois went three-and-out, forcing Akron to use all three timeouts, but the Zips got possessio·n and Getsy drove for the winning score. Getsy was 30-of-50 for 413 yards, and Hixon had eight catches for 144 yards. The game was as wild as the teams' first meeting, which Akron won 48-42 in overtime on Sept . 24. Akron took a 3-0 lead on their first possession on Jason Swiger's 47-yard field · goal, the longest in MAC title-game history until Nendick's kick three quarters later. The teams · then traded short rushing touchdowns, . as Kennedy put Akron up 10-0 with a 3-yard run. Wolfe made it 10-7 with a!yard dive. · Swiger narrowly missed a 46-yard field goal attempt.

SPORTS • aves falls in title game. See PageB1 TtM REYNOLDS' . ORLANDO, Fla. - Less than three months ago , Central Florida was mired ·in the nation's longest losing streak and expected to finish at the bottom of Conference USA. Now, UCF is bowl bound for the first time . And George O'Leary's infamous resume is better than ever. . There's a reason Notre Dame hired him four years ago - 0' Leary kr]ows how to coach. He's proved that again at UCF, which he's transformed over the last few weeks from a punch Jine to a postseason team - one that will host the Conference USA championship game on Saturday against Tulsa. For. the Golden Knights , it's been a breakthrough. . For O'Leary, it's been. a rejuvenation. "There's nothing I can do about what happened at Notre Dame," O'Leary said. "A mistake was made. I ·p aid a dear price for it. But, as my mom used to always say, God doesn't close one ·door, he opens another. I think this was a door that opened and I'm making the most of it." lJCF is 8-3 and 7-1 in league play. The school is in the midst. of the secondbiggest one-season turnaround in NCAA football history. Only Hawaii's 1999 team, which improved 8 1/2 games over its 1998 record, has exceeded what the Golden Knights have done this year under O'Leary- a national coach of the year candidate. He got his dream job at Notre Dame in 2001, only to ·resign a week later after admitting to falsifying his academic and athletic credentials on hi s resume for decades. His claims of having a master's degree in education and being a three-year college player at New Hampshire were ultimately lJroved untrue . But UCF had . no reservations about giving 0' Leary a five-year contract in 2003. . Now, school officials feel like geniuses for putting their program in his hands. · "We didn ' t hire him because of how many letters he had at New Hampshire as a football player or whether he had a master 's degree or not," said UCF athletic director Steve Orsini , a captain on Notre Dame 's 1977 national championship team. "And · he 's more motivated than ever, both for him self to clear his record profess ional ly, and to turn this program around ." That process has advanced faster. than anyone O ' Leary included - could imagine. Most preseason magazines ranked UCF near the very bottom of all the 119' teams in Division 1-A football. The team 's media guide offered probably the most positive outlook, saying the Golden Knights "enter 2005 hopeful to continue . to lay the groundwork for a successful football program." Hardly a ringing endorsement. And 0' Leary's goal for the season? Six wins. " I got a lot of twisted eyes looking at me when I said that," O'Leary said. · The Golden Knights opened with a respectable 24-15 loss at South Carolina, then lo:;t by 17 to South Florida. The program went exactly 700 days without a victory, and it seemed even longer to the players. "After the USF game, I know a lot of guys were thinking, ' Here we go again,"' said senior defensive end Pa'u! Carrington, a tricaptain. "But the fortunate thing about seasons is, it's not how you start' them, it' s how you finish them. ·And again, that's something Coach O'Leary has alwar,s stressed and instilled in us. ' UCF's 17-game losing streak ended with a win over Marshall, starting a run of eight wins in nine games for the Go lden Knights, who have only I 0 seasons of Division 1-A football history and ·are in their inaugural Conference USA campmgn. "It wasn't just a win, it was breaking a lot of bad records we had ai the time," O' Leary said. "Continuous losses in the country. The first win with this staff, a new staff that was here. I told the kids, we're going to throw all that in the garbage pail, throw the lid on and keep it on." UCF hasn ' t exactly outclassed its opponents. But if there 's any positive to glean from an eptc losing streak, it 's resiliency: And the Golden Knights have clearly shown that. .Only one of their wins was by more than I 0 points. They've · won five straight games and trailed in every one , including a 12-point halftime deficit last week at Rice, and an !!-point deficit the previous week at UAB. "It's definitely surreal, how everything 's worked out for us," Carrington said. Until now, UCF's biggest football accomplishment was the exploits of Daunte Culpepper, who threw and ran for 12,432 yards from 1995-98. The school is planning a 45,000-seat on-campus stadium and has indicated that it will do whatever is necessary to keep O ' Leary if any other program comes to woo the man who was 2000's national' coach of the year at Georgia Tech. "We're ~oing 'to do the right thing,' Orsini said . " He has earned us to step up now, too. He has done his job. It's time for us to do our job and do the right thing for him. He and hi s staff have earned· thai. He ha s a chance to create the program, the next big Division I pr<)gram in the state of Florida." Whether 0 ' Leary stays or goes, the Golden Knights could have an extremely bright future. Most of the team is composed of freshmen and sophomores, with only a handful of seniors in key roles. $1.50 • Vol. :JIJ, No. -l;) Bridge replacement getting back on track STAFF REPORT POMEROY .
