NASCA_R This Week's Monte Dutton gives his take: ·tmag1ne the Second place is perhaps a bit too familiar to Jimmie Johnson. He finished second last year in . the points standings behind Matt Kenseth, and that's the same spot he curre ntl y occupies in the Nextel Cup championship race behind Dale Earnhardt Jr. Johnson, 28, is one of racing's most consistent, stable personalities. He has finished in the top 10 in five consecutive races. TheEl Cajon, Calif., native_was runner:up to Ryan Newman in the 2002 Raybestos Rookie of the Year race, but he fintshed higher than Newman in the points standings in each of his two previous seasons . One of Johnson 's great advantages is his friendship with teammate Jeff Gordon , a four-time champ. Gordon is curr~ntly third in the championship race. ."He's been one of the major reasons why I've been able to step into the top division of our sport, be competitive on the track and know how to handle things off the track like the business side, the fans and the mental aspects," said Johnson of Gordon. "When you have somebody who is as humble and good as Jeff Gordon to pull from and learn from, tt 's been one of the biggest assets I could have ever hoped f01; on top of the fact of driving for Hendrick Motorsports . "There are a lot of mental things that take place. I know I can go to Jeff and get a straight answer from him, even if it's a competitive a.Jvantage that might re sult in my beating him in the race. He's completely open and honest• with me about what he's doing with the race car. I reciprocate with the same things. It's a unique teammate situation in NASCAR. I don 't think the re are many teams that work as closely together, where literally our teams are in the sa me shop. It's been a huge asset" ' Bemg a major player on theN ASCAR stage carries with it certain obligations and commitments. No one has adjusted better to changes in lifestyle than Johnson. "Ir depends on how you use it," he said. "I'm so lu cky to be where I am today ... to be racing as a career. It started off as a hobby for me . With my personality <~nd the people tha-t I'm around in my environment, I'm just going to have fun with it, and hopefully co ntinue to win races, smile through it all and not have any fru strations . through it.

The National Moment of Remembrance is not a ceremony. It does not replace traditional Memorial Day ·events. It's an act of conscience and heart , respect and appreciation. It can be a simple gesture - such as placing your hand over your heart or ringing a bell. Thi s year. the White Hou se Commission on Remembrance , with the support · of the National for Music Association Education. Bugles Across America and the Getzen Instrument Co. , are inviting trumpet pl~yers across th e country to play "Taps" at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day for the Moment" s "Ec hoes of Remembrance " throughout America. (Visit www.remember. gov for more information .) The goal is to put ·'memorial" back into Memorial Day. because a1Gallup poll indicated that only 28 percent of American citizens realize the true meaning of this holiday. - CARMELLA LA SPADA, DIRECTOR .

Many ag economists expect to see custom harvesting prices go up in order to cover fuel costs. If your farm machinery isn't properly tuned you cou ld be wasting fueL When prices are this high. it 's probably a problem worth fixing . Fuel efficiency or economy is measured in horsepowe·rhours per gallon (hp-hr/gal). much as automobile fuel 'elficiency is measured in miles per gallon, say Roben Grisso. exten~ion engineer and Steven Melvin, extension educator with University of Nebraska's IANR, in a fact sheet called Five Strategies for Extending Machinery Life. Here's how they calculate the efticiency of a tractor: • Determine the gallons of fuel used in one hou r. For example, a diesel tractor producing I 55 hp and using 5.5 gallon s in 30 minutes, .would use I I gallons in an hour. Divide the 155 horsepower by I I gal/hr. which gives a fuel efficiency of 14 hp· hr/gaL • · Compare this figure to University · of Nebraska Tractor Test data during the PTO tests at rated horsepower. If the current efficiency is 5-10 percent less than original, there may be a problem that needs correction. the Nebraska expert> say. . "If an engi,ne is showing a 5-percent reduction in fuel efficiency, it is wasting about 5 percent of the fueL In a !55 horsepower tractor burning 11 gal/hr. this adds. up to 0.55 gallons of fuel wasted every hour or 275 gallons wasted every 500 hours of use," Grisso and Melvin say. With diesel at $1.76 per gallon. that tractor wou ld be wasting nearly $1 for every hour it runs. · Proper ballasting and tire intlation can save mon ey. too. · A tractor's fuel efficiency also il)creases with its "tractive eiJiciency," which can be improved by making sure tires are properly inflated and proper ballasting . . Tractive efficiency- measures how well a tractor uses the power available at the ax le to pull an implement through the soil.

Mari Hulman George always yells, ;'Gentlemen. start your engines!" The celebration in Victory Lane always includes milk. And the Indianapoli s 500 alw ays starts at II a.m. local time . That might be changing. however. In a bid to improve lagging ratings for the Indy _500, ABC is trying to get the track to change one of its revered traditions. Weather permitting. the race has started at II a.m. every year since 1963. "We' re trying to balance tradition with reality." said Loren Matthews, senior vice president of programming for AB(. Sports. On Tuesday, the network announced an extension of its TV deal with the Indy Racing League through 2009. As part of the deal. serious discussions will be held on the possibility of a later stan time. . "There 's nothing detinite:· said Ken Ungar, senior vice president of business affairs for the IRL. "But it's beyondjuo;t an idea." Another television-friendly idea was met with less enthusiasm from Indy officials: running the 500 at night. That would require a massive lighting project that track officials aren't yet ready to tackle or pay for. "Sure, we would love the opportunity to do the Indy 500 in prime time:· Matthews said. "But they o;ay it's not reaJislic at this 'point In time." The ratings for last year's race were less than half of what they were in 1995. the tina! year before a nasty split in open-wheel racing led to the formation of the IRL and a boycott by Championship Auto Raci ng . Teams (CART). which 'had most of the top drivers and teams at the time. ABC believes it could stem the ratings slide if the race started in the afternoon. luring in more viewers especially from the Mountain anLl Pacific time zones. " It 's no secret that home usage ofTVs grows the later . you get in the day." Matthews said: One clear drawback to starting the race in the afternoon: NASCAR drivers such as Robby Gordon and Tony Stewart would no longer have time to attempt "The Double," ru nning both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in North Carolina on Sunday night. Meanwhile. teammate s Kosuke Matsuura and Adrian Fernandez put up the fastest times during the two-hour "Carburetion Day" practice-· the only time between the end of qualifying and the race in which the cars are allowed on the 2 1/2- rnile oval. The Fernandez Racin g duo has been among the fastest n early every day since practice began. That was the case again Thursday. when the 33 cars had one final chance to make sure all the bolts were tightened. all the hoses connected. "It _was a very. very good test." said Matsuura, a rookie who turned the quickest lap of 219.226 mph. "The car is very fast and, for drafting, the car has a very good balance. Everything is per- feet. I am very confiden t." Fernandez. the team owner who is racing at .Indy for the first time si nce 1995, was next at 218.066. The last time Fernandez raced at Indy, the race drew a 9.4 rating and 29 share. The numbers dipped significantly the following year - when CART teams staged a protest race in Michigan - and have largely continued to fall. earning a 4 ..6 rating and 14 share last year. Sti II, ABC and cable partner ESPN are sticking with open-wheel racing through 2009, highlighted by coverage of the 500. ABC will televise the race for the 40th consecutive year on Sunday. making it one of the network's oldest staples of programming. "The Indianapolis 500 on ABC is certainly one of our crown jewels," Matthews said. "It's been on longer than college football, longer than the British Open, several years longer than Monday Night Football." As for the idea of putting up lights at the 2.5-mile speedway, Ungar said ."there' s a huge logi stical hurdle to overcome.'' A number of major events are now held at night, including NASCAR 's summer race at Daytona International Speedway, but Indianapolis is unique. The track, which held its first 500 in 1911 , has low grandstands that stretch the length of the front straightaway. Another large stand is located behind the pits, creating a tunnel effect along the straight. . ''There would be shadows from the lights,'' Ungar said. "If you're doing 200 mph , it's like going into a tunnel Without lights." Turnaround season for Indy pole-winner BY MIKE HARRIS Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS - Don' t forget Buddy Rice. His name doesl)' t exactly top the list of fa~orites at the Indianapolis 500. but he's determined to •swig from the milk bottle in Victory Circle. "lt's funny how many people say we're underneath the radar," said Rice, who will start from the pole Sunday. "But if you actually watch any of our times and watch what we did, we were in contention for the front row from the start of the month. "We're detinitely contenders in the race." · That sure wasn't the case last year. when he finished in the top I0 only four times in 13 stans and never higher than ninth. Three races from the end of the season, Rice lost his ride with Red Bull Cheever Racing. ' · "It never clicked," team owner Eddie Cheever .Jr. said. Cheever. who also had a-contentious parting of ways in 2002 with Tomas Scheckter, another young speedster, acknowledged he can be a tough taskmaster. "I've been with · teams in Formula One, CART and the IRL and it's tough to pull anything on me," Cheever said. " I tend to be blunt.'' In December, Bobby Rahal came calling, seeking a temporary replacement for injured Kenny Brack, and gave Rice a chance to drive. Now, Rice has a new look - his spiky hair and soul patch that drew so much criticism last season are gone .and heading into SundaY:s race had tinishes of seventh. ninth and sixth for Rahal Letterman Racing. He was also tied with Tora Takagi for seventh in the IRL season points. "I don 't really know what his baggage was," Rahal said. "Last year. a lot of people criticized him for his look . But that was what hi s sponsors wanted him to do. The first thing we told him was he had to turn his hat around. and he didn't argue for a second. " I never doubted his pace," Rahal added. "I think the issue was just his persona, and I think his persona is per- feel. He 's not a big talker. He's not a showboater. He just gets out there and works hard and he 's a good racer." Rice had served an apprenticeship with Rahal in 2001, although he didn't · race for the 1985 Indy winner. "He just ·came to the Faces and was around in case we needed him ,'' Rahal said. "I just looked at it as an investment for us, that if we ever did get together, he'd know how we did things and it. would pay off." Before the race ·last month in Japan, Rahal Jet Rice know he had a ride for . the rest of the year, no matter when Brack returns. · "Any race driver, if you're in the right situation you can really blossom ," Rahal said. "We thought that Buddyjust needed a chance in a team that was going to help him every step of the way and not get in his way." Now Rice is on the pole for the Indy 500. Don 't bet against him on race day. · "If a win happens here for me, it won' t be a life-altering experience. I' ll go with it, if it comes," he said. "But this place would sure be a great one to put under my belt." Bartrum and Brown camp date set STAFF REPORT sports@ mydailytribune.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va.

Gri_ ffey pulls even with Gehrig; Reds beat Expos MONTREAL (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. pulled even with Hall of Farner Lou Gehrig on the career home run list, the last mart between him and the 500 homer club. Griffey hit his 493rd homer and Sean Casey went 4-for-5 with three RBl s as the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 7-6 win over the Montreal Expos on Friday night. Griffey hit a two-run shot off Claudio Vargas (4-2) following Casey's RBI double in the fifth to tie Gehrig for 20th on the career list. · " It's just one of those things that I'll take one day at a time and see what happens - I'm still a few away" Griffey said. "My main objective is to win ballgames and see what happens from there.'' The homer capped Cincinnati's second three-run outburst and increased its lead to 6-2. Three of Casey's hits were for extra bases, including a double in the first and a tworun homer in the third, hi s seventh of the season. He singled off Jeremy Fikac in the sixth. . " It's just a matter of having quality at-bats." said Casey. who raised hi s NL-leading average to .390. "I've swung the bat like this before so I have had some stretches where I've done this, so for me it's really not looking at the numbers so much but just trying to lock in on every at-bat, every pitch and having good at-bats. " Cory Lidle (4-4) allowed five hits and five runs in 6 2-3 innings. He pitched his NLIeading third wmplete game in his last outing, a six-hitter for hi s third career shutout in a 7-0 win over Houston on Sunday. Jose Vidro had an RBI grounder and Tony Batista homered in the first for Montreal. which saw its NLworst record drop to 15-32. Lidle also allowed a solo homer to Brad Wilkerson . whose leadoff shot in the sixth cut the lead to 6-3. The Reds startt;r contributed an RBI single in the seventh off Luis Ayala to make it 7-3. "Ayala just didn't do the job and at the time in the dugout we said. 'that's a big run_ ... Expos manager Frank Robinson said. "And I meant that sincerely. it was a big run because he gave it up to a nonoffensive player and that huns." The hit proved to be the difference as ·the Expos scored three in the bottom half to close to within one. Orlando Cabrera and Carl Evereit led off the inning with consecutive double-; to . draw the Expos to within 7-4. ·Everett advanced to third on Nick Johnson's grounder and · scored on Brian Schneider's sacritice fly. which brought Montreal to within two. Pinch hitter Matt Cepicky homered off left-hander Mike Matthews to make it a one-run game. " It felt good to see them battle back and get back in the ball game. and at least give ourselves an opportunity to win it.'' Robin son said. "But there·, still that mystery where we can go inning after inning after inning of doing noth ing. You look at it as wasted innings. but it certainly wets refreshing to see the ballclub keep fighting and battle back and get them selves back in the ballgame.'' Vargas, who left after Griffey's homer. allowed nine hits and four runs in four-plus innings. He struck out six and walked one. "I didn't feel 100 percent today;· Vargas said . "I felt a little bif down today. I didn 't feel strong but I missed a lot of pitches in the middle of the plate and they hit a couple of good pitches. too. They've got a -lot of good hitters ... Blake shot gives Tribe 1-0 win CLEVELAND (AP) Casey Blake hit the third pitch by reliever Jim Mecir into the left-field bleachers to give the Cleveland Indians· a 1-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. Blake lined a 1- 1 pitch from Mecir (0-4) for hi s sixth homer - and second game-winning shot this season at Jacobs Field to end a struggle in futility by both teams. Jose Jimenez ( 1-3) pitched a o;coreless ninth for hi s first American League wirl. Oakland starter Barry Zito pitched -eight scoreless innings. allowing three hits and five walks while striking out seven. The only Cleveland players to reach second base in the first seven innings did so on a botched pickoff, a wild pitch and a balk. Cleveland's Victor Martinez, with 28 RBi s in iVle his previous 21 games as a cleanup hitter. struck out o'n a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth against Zito. The two team s were a combined 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts with runners in scoring position. The hit. :a scratch infield single by Oakland's Eric Byrne s in the seventh. didn't even advance the runner. Oakland left 14 runnets stranded, including the bases loaded in the seventh when reliever Rafael Betancourt got Jermaine Dye looking. Jimenez got Scott Hattcberg to foul · out with runners on first and third in the ninth . The A.thletics twice put runners on second and third in the first two innings. But Cleveland starter Cliff Lee struck out Hatteberg to end the first and fanned Byrnes to -;top the second. orial Day Special Tlils Weekena Only BAUM LUMBER, INC.

Not a flaw to be found. And that's why just about everyone believes this smaJIish, red chestnut colt is poised to give thoroughbred racing its first Triple Crown winner in 26 years, since Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in I 978. "He's a phenomenon," says Penny Chenery, who owned the spon's greatest champion - I973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat. "There's an exuberance about him. He 's having fun, he's into it.

Woody is part of the self-proclaimed ''Track Cluh," a small group of regulars that watches the first-place Alley Cats from the elevated tracks, along with teen,agers passing through and fans looking for a change of pace. Even season-ticket holders 'have ventured out for a pregame tailgate party.

"1 like to come up here because it's more fun to hang out, laugh and talk with everybody." · . CSX would prefer they take theit party somewhere else. "They are trespassing," said CSX spokeswoman Meg Scheu in Jacksonville, Ra. "Railroad tracks are a dangerous place to be." Scheu said local law enforcement are encouraged to ask people to keep off the tracks, but Alley Cats' management doesn't police the area. Up to a dozen fans watch from the tracks each game. 'We don't have a stance on it one way or the other," said Chad Hodson, the Alley Cats' director of ticketing and operations. "Of course we'd really rather have people come through the gates. · "But ir adds something to the ballpark and to the uniqueness of the experience."

"It's been a Jove story since the beginning," the amiable Brazilian said. "1 came here in bad shape, playing bad. But every time I go on the court. it seems something speciul happens with the Jove and passion l have for the tournament . That brings the best out in me." Two other former champions advanced on the women's side : No. 2-seeded Serena Williams and No. 7 Jenniter Cap1iati. No.4 Venus Williams eliminated 2000 champion Mary Pierce 6-3. 6- 1.

(AP) - Mr. lntlexible dusted off Mr. Forgotten. and the Indiana Pacers evened the Eastern Conference finals with their best all :around effot1 of the series. Austin Croshere made his fir't start in more than two y~ars and scored 14 points Friday night, providing the Pacers with a much-needed extra offensive option in an 8368 victory over the Detroi! Piston s. "It was a little bit of a gamble · because defensively you don't get the same type of activity that you do with (left) Foster, but Austin changed tl1e game," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "[just thought it was a gamble wonh taking . lt's certainly not a cure-all." Getting off to a rare good start and sustaining a respectable shooting percentage, the Pacers evened the series at two games apiece, avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season and regained the homecoun advantage for what's now a best-ofthree series. Carlisi~ pulled a surprise by turning to Croshere in place of Foster - a move even more stunning because it was made by a coach whose resistance to change has been cited as one of his negative personality quirks. "Rick likes to pretty much keep it simple. He ·s not one of those guys that likes to change his lineup or change the style his team plays from game to game, but tonight was definitely a change for the better," · Pacers guard Anthony Johnson said. Croshere, who averaged only five points this season his sixth in the league - hadn't contributed much of anything since the 2000 NBA Finals when he scored a career-high 24 points against the Lakers and was rewarded with a seven-year, $5 I million contract. Croshere, whose scoring average dropped from I0.1 to 6.8 to 5.1 in his first three seasons after signing the big contract, didn 't even play in three of the Pacers ' tirst 13 playoff games. "To get the opportunity to step ur in a game like this, it., great,' said Croshere, whose six points and five rebounds in the fourth quarter of Game 3 prompted Carlisle to make the change. "We wanted to take advantage of the way they were collapsing OJ) our big guys," Croshere said. "If Jermaine beat someone, there was another shot blocker there. But with me being on the perimeter, it really spread the floor and made them have to be honest with me ."

Bobby Labonte enjoys coming to Lowe's Motor Speedway for all the obvious reasons - it's close to home; the facilities are second to none and no one has more recent success at the track . Since getting his first Nextel Cup victory there in 1995, Labonte has continued to run up front. His average finish of 4.7 over the past I 0 races at the track is by far the best ; well ahead of Mark Martin's 9.4. He added a second win in October 2000, and he has three poles since joining Joe Gibbs Racing . Labonle 's record at Atlanta Motor ~peedway , which has a similar design to Lowe's, also is · stellar: six victories and an - average finish of 6.6. • "Over the course of the years, it just seems those tracks are more to my liking;" Labonte said Wednesday. "There's no rhyme or reason to it, other than I like both of them and . it seems to favor our tech• nique as far as setups go and ~ also my driving style." That history at Lowe's hardly helped last weekend, when Labonte finished 15th tn the Nextel ·All-Star : Challenge. He struggled . throughout the night and : was the final car on the lead " lap. , Not only was the handling . 9f his car off, but a vibration · forced his crew to adjust the - drive shaft after the first of : three segment~. Normally, a ~hange like that only hap. pens during practice or test- BY KEITH PARSONS Associated Press Charlotte Coca-Cola 600 Uneup last fall . In that span, he has led 414 laps, a total that trails only Labonte and Jeff Burton. Finding the reason for the team's good runs is a.bout the only thing that' slows down Stewart and Labonte. "There ' s just something about Atlanta and Charlotte that we both like," Stewart said. " It's nothing about the track in particular. It's just something the crew chiefs have found with the package , and we seem to get around these two tracks pretty well." Those crew chiefs, Michael "Fatback" McSwain for Labonte and Greg Zipadelli for Stewart, work under team manager Jimmy Makar, who has been with Gibbs since the beginning. · Makar was the crew chief when the team got its first victory at Lowe's in 1994 with Dale Jarrett. ''We ;ve been able to adjust over the years from what they had then," Labonte said. "We've made it work, and maybe I was able to give Jimmy and the guys beiter feedback than I do at other tracks ." . The strange thing about the success of Labonte and Stewart is they rarely experience it in the same race. "It's kind of been feast or famine for us," Stewart said. "Normally, both of us aren't really good here at the same time. But it's been that way at Atlanta, too." ~ng.

Matt Kenseth, who won the Nextel All -Star Challenge at Lowe's last week, ended up 37th, and points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. was lOth. · · Burton wound up 34th. What makes his descent over the pasl couple of seasons even more striking is the success of his teammates, Kenseth and Ku11 Busch. . Kenseth won the Nextel Cup title last season, using t~ conSistent run that mcluded a senes-hest 25 top- I 0 fiti1shes . Busch had four victories - a total second only lo Ryan Newman - and wound up one spot ahead of Burton in the standings in lith. . Even roo.kie Greg Biffle won a race, using fuel mileage to pull off a btl of an upset in July at Daytona. Only Burton and Mark Martin went winless with Roush . " We just didn't have what the other cars had," Burton said. "Not that it wasn't available to us, but we didn't use what they did. Hopefully, we can use that infonmation and get our · stuff better." His brother, Ward, understands the frustration. He went nearly five years between victories earlier in his career, so he appreciates how tough it is. "People don't understand how hard it is to win." Ward Burton said. " A few years ago, Jeff was finishing in the top five, the top 10 every week. I' m sure it's got to be hard on him, but I haven't noticed that he's gotten down on himself." Not yet. Jeff Burton startec! this season without a full-time sponsor, leading to rampant rumors that team owner Jack Roush planned to pull the No. 99 off the track. ln the past couple of mces, Roundup lawn and garden products has supported the team, and Burton is hopeful an announcement wtll be made soon about the rest of the season. Until then, he and his crew members likely will face more garage gossip about the situation. The most persistent of this talk has him joining Richard Childress Racing. "It's bad to hear that," Jeff Burton said. " People forget that this is what me and these guys do for a living. It's what they support their families with. It's hard to hear all this talk about the demise of our team. It's frustrating." Ward Burton acknowledges his younger brother probablY. has a tough decision t<;> make "in the next few months." Unul then, all Jeff can do is try to rid himself of a string of poor runs. " I don't believe in luck," Jetr Burton said. "Certainly, there's times in your career where you can do no wrong, and other times where you can't do anything right. " But we've got everything in place here to tum this around. We've just got to do it." NASCAR • "I just figured, we weren't joing to fix whatever our problems were, we might as ~ well see if we could stop the " vibration," Labonte said. "It ~ wasn't that big of a deal." : Maybe he got his bad luck Ol!t of the way in time for ·Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. Qualifying is scheduled for .Thursday night. • "We screwed up, we just · missed it· a little bit," -Labonte said. "If there was a · time to learn anything, I'd -rather it be last weekend." . While Labonte was plodding along in the all-star _- tace, Gibbs teammate Tony Stewart was running awa)i' Vfith a victory in the opening :40 laps.

' Odd practice schedule brings complaints from drivers BY KEITH PARSONS Associated Press CONCORD, N.C. - Ryan Newman and ihe re st of the drivers get 3 1/2 hours of practice for the Coca-Cola 600. all of it during the day. Yet NASCAR'S longest race is run almost entirely after the sun goes down. a discrepancy not lost on Newman. "It's the crew chief's call and 1'1 I do what he says. but it is prelty crazy to be practicing when we ' re prac,ticing." he said. "We· d be better off not practi cing." The surface at Lowe's Motor Speedway also is.notoriously fickle when the temperature changes, adding another wrinkle for the teams. In qualifying Thursday night, ·Newman went out fourth , while Jim.mie Johnson was the last of 52 drivers to try. Predictably, the track had cooled about 20 degrees, leading to better grip for Johnson. He set a track record of 187.052 mph, only sl ightly better than Newman. Jeff Gordon, who also went out late, gained nearly a se<.:ond from hi s best lap in pra<.:tice and ended up third, and he attributed most of the improvement to the temperature. '·It's amazing how much this track picks up and how . much grip 11 has when the sun · goes down,'' Gordoh said. ''I wasn' t expecting it, that's for sure." The Nextel Cup drivers had an off day Friday. with the only track acti vity coming from the Busch Serie s. Practice for the 600 resumes Saturday morning. when the teams will have their best chance to simu late race conditions. " We're definitely going to have to base a lot of stuff on our notes from the past," said Johnson's crew chief. Chad Knaus. "We'll practice at 9:30 a.m. on SaiUrday. and the track will he somewhat cool. That ' ll give us some indication.'' . Last weekend, all practice for the non-points Nexte l All Star Chnllenge was during the day, even though the race started about 9: 30 p.m. The handful of the drivers· in that event got some track time under the ligl1ts. but the strategy was much different. Instead of a series of short sprints - the all-star race is 90 laps, split into three segments Sunday's race is ·essentially a test or endurance for the car. the driver and the team. " You see a big difference in that extra hundred miles ," said rookie Brian Vickers. who qualified lifth. "Not just guys falling out of the seat tired but just trying to stay focused for that length of time. • " The cars are built to go 400 to 500 miles every week, and we get all we can out of 2004 NASCAR Busch . them. Once a· year. we expect them to go 600 miles." Until recently, Nextel Cup qualifying at the track was held on Wedne sday. with Thursday night reserved for practice. NASCAR altered that s.:hedule to · give the· teams an extra day away from the track. and that extra time at night wa> lost in th e process. If Gordon has his way. that' II change. " The only disappointing thing I' ve seen' from last week and this week is that the practices are absolute ly ridiculous," he said. "I don ' t gel it. I ' m definit ely in favor of try ing to have practice sessions -especially for the races -. at a much closer time to when we're going to race.'' The lack of preparation sometimes leads to a less competitive race. If one or two team s hit on the setup. they have an adv<tntage that others can't possibly make up during the race. And the ones with the most >uccess in the past just keep running up front. "I feel like it would be beneticial for everybody and the race would be that much better if we would practice when we race." Vickers said. "That takes a lot of guess work out. Instead of having two or three really fast cars. you'll have five or I 0 really good cars, because they can actually work in the conditions they will be racing in ." 2004 NASCAR Craftsman schedule Truck schedule .

His discharge papers also stand as a reminder that he made it through the war in one piece. (Stephanie Jenkins/ photo). Lane was also ·involved in military battles in places such as the Kwaja lein Islands. as well as Saipan, both in locations near Guam. The Allied and Axis powers foul'ht heavily in that region dunng the war. Lane also remembers when lwo Jima and Hiroshima were bombed. and how he was sent back to Hawaii during that time. He was di scharged shortly after. "I don't think I sh\)uld be honored," said Lane. "I didn't do anything special. but I did accompli sh some things.

Your 40 I (k) plan is an excellent retirement-savings vehicle - so don' t let it "stall out." How can you help keep your 40 I(k) moving forward? For starters, make sure you periodically "rebalance" the investments within your plan . Fortunately. you ' II lind that you'll have plenty of opponunities to do JUSt that. In recent years, 40 I (k) plan s have begun offering participants an increasing number of investment choices. Al so, most plans allow you . to make changes frequently - in fact. you may even be able to make adjustments every day. Of course, you may not requ ire this degree of !lexibility- but it's nice to know it exists. Unfonunatcl y. many people make 40l(k) changes only when one or more qf their investments has lost value. To compensate. they often switch some of their . money into the more conservative choices available to them. This could be a mistake . Remember. your40 1(k) is designed .to help you bui ld resources for retirement. so you will want ymir money to have the opportunity to grow - which means yo u will need a good percentage of your 40 I(k) holdings to be in those accounts made up of stocks. When should you make changes? How often shou ld you review your 40 I(k)'' At least once a year - and every time you experi ence a significant life event. For example. Bv JAMEs SANDS The Gallipoli s Daily Tribune reported of Memorial Day serv ices here in 1950: "A scattered few Gallia Countians turned out Tuesday for the formal observances. of Memorial Day." The day in Gallipolis began at the Municipal building at 8:45 a.m. when various veterans groups began the march to the city park where wreaths were laid at the doughboy statue. Participating in that activity were Edwin Higgins, A. C. Safford, Etta Williams, Sally Elliott and Sandra Elliott. The group then marched to Pine Street Cemetery. It was in 1950 that Gallipolis VFW Post 4464 took over the project of placing new headstone grave markers in the soldiers plot of Pine Street Cemetery. Some 164 headstones can be found there with about 72 of those being for unidentified sol- · diers. All of these men were buried during the Civil War. They had been brought to the U.S. Arrriy Ho spital at Gallipolis from various pan of the W~:st Virginia battlefields with wounds received in combat. Most of the 164 were buried here bet ween 1862 and 1864. Part of the Memorial bay services at Pine Street Cemetery involved the dedication of those stories led by Elmer E. Caldwell, then the chaplain . of the VFW. The parade . from the city park arrived at Pine Street Cemetery about I0 a.m .. The parade was led by Herbert 0 . Pepper's uni fonmed Gallia Academy High has peace and tranquility, and whic h I hope is great. " II is our right to be here. but also our obligat ion. The day was set aside because of these men and for no other reason. '·I do hope you will remember two thin gs. One. because these war heroes are go ne, having paid the supreme sacrifice for us , I was ·ab le to return . Two, the war dead cannot be paid except that we keep the traditions for which they died. If their sacrifices are in vain, you and I are to blame, not they." Within a few days of the Rev. Wilson's Memorial Day address, the U.S. was at war aga in , this time in Korea. Wilson himself left Gallipolis on Dec. 30, 195 I to return to active military . duty when the 37th Division was called up. By 1952, Wilson was serving as a chaplain in Korea. On January 31. 1953. word reached Gallipolis that Chaplain Wilson had been killed in Korea earlier that week. At the memorial communion held at St. Peter's church the Sunday following Wilson 's death , the onl y hymn played was Wilson's favorite, " Lead Kindly Light." . "Lead Ki'ndly Light. amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on! The night is dark. and I am fa r from home; lead thou me on!

The speaker for the day in · 1950 was Major K.C. Wilson of the 37th Division, Ohio National Guard. Major Wilson was also at that time rector at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Gallipolis. Wilson had served as a chaplain since 1936 when he graduated from Bexley Theological School at Kenyon College. He served in the military throughout World War II, three years of which were in the southern Pacitic.

Melvin, who was tired of 'eeing people who looked like him depicted in subservient pos itions. "Soul Plane" director Jessy Terrero embraces the bling and the booty shaking with an enthu siasm that could be descri':>ed as gidd y, if only the smoke fro m Snoop Dogg's ever-presen t blunt didn't sugges t a mellowe r vi be. Snoop co-stars as a pilot in the movie - which first-ti me director Terrero. who is black. describes in the press notes with all sin cerity as "an urban take on ' Airplai1e 1' " though the rapper esse ntially · is playing himself. The only difference here is that he's sitting in a cockpit instead of a tricked-out ' 64 Impala. The idea of Snoop tl yi ng a commercial airplane is funny in itself: "Soul Plane" consists of many other amusing concepts and little else. The airline is called NWA, though not in honor of the rap group. It's named for Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart), who wins a $ 100 million set· tlement· after a traumatic flight on another airline and uses the money to form his own. Nashawn 's no-good cousin, 'Muggsy (Method Man), would be considered hi s right-hand man if he ac tually accomplished anything. NWA's flights leave Los Angeles lnternational 'Airport from Terminal Malcolm X, where travelers can kill time by playing pickup basketball or enjoying a meal at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

High "school students Sam (Jake GyllenhaaJ) and Laura (Emmy Rossum) fall in lo ve while trying to avoid freezing t.o death in the New York Public Library (though we know they can't possibly die, because they 're too good-looking). Sam's estranged parents, Professor Jack Hall (De nni s Quaid) . and Dr. Lucy Hall (Se la Ward), seem likely to reconcile, \llanks to the pouring rain and driving snow. A homeless man (Glenn Plummer), with his trusty border col lie in tow, teaches a rich kid from Manhattan's Upper East Side (Austin Nichols) how to keep warm using paper. And most important of all, the vice president of the United States, who just happens to resemble Dick Cheney, realizes only in the aftermath of mass destruction that. er. maybe he should . have listened to warnings about the dangers of global warming.

OH MICI~est The deck of the future is here now Someday all decks will be built this way. I don't · mean with gazebos and hot tubs and grills galore. That· s all good. A great deck has all that stuff. I mean with material s ultra well-suited for what a deck ough1 to be : a place of relaxation and enjoyment that doesn't consume every free minute with maintenance. What's right about today 's deck choices is this: composite malerials made to last longer than you will live in your house . Materials made of recycled plastic and . wood chips that both look the pan but have starring roles as simply hassle free and worry .free. A nole of candor: my family lives in . the upper Midwest. We love a deck in the months we can venture outside. Bu1 ice, snow. thaws. refreezing. sun and humidity have their way with wood. The real thing warps , cracks , rots and peels. I've sealed and resealed our venerable wood deck just short of lamination. Wood still works in many climates. but if weather in your neck of the woo~ is problematic, i1 's worth a look at alternatives. · It 's the look of wood. however. you can' t do without. The grain and texture are hard to copy, . But that doesn't mean nonwood manufacturers don:t try. My wife and I tore off our old deck (and safely disposed of the remnants) and plotted our new and improved version. We wem on over to our local Lowe 's and checked ou1 our non-wood options. It' s important to note some essential differences between cqmposites and wood. Some are structural, others aesthetic . For one, you can't simply rip off the old wood and slap down composites atop old joists. Most decks are bu i11 on what are called 16-inch centers. That means the gap peiween support joists is 16 inches. No way will that ·work for composites. Once you hft an)l length of composite, you'll see why. Composites are heavy. I'm no math wizard, but my guess is composite Black locust is a wonderful 1ree. but not one that everyone should planL The se 1rees look ni..: ~"' !..:ro\\·in!J in £!roves nr - e,pecially as they age - lining long. country driveways or roads . No1 many people have the space for a locust grove or a driveway long and rustic enough 10 do justice to a row of 1hese 1rees. If you did want 10 s1an a locus1 grove, all you need to do is plant one tree. nr per-. haps a few trees. then 'land back . The trees grow 4uickly and soon make new plants from both seeds and root sprouts. , Locu st. native to the eastern United Sta(es. tolerates all sons of growing conditions. Road salt does 1he tree no harm , nor does winler cold . Because it's a legume. along with beans and peas. locust can use atmospheric nitrogen. so it grow s well even in infenile soi ls. A locus1 grove can be a real asset as it ages. Just stay away when the 1rees are you ng, becau se they are armed with long and sharp spines . Once the trunks are a few inches in diameter. the spine s are no longer a problem, and you can stan thinning ou1 excess trees . The wood is both hard and durabl e, excellent for fer\ce posts, arbors, and pilings. The 1ree 's small leaflets filler sunlight to crea1e pleasant dappled shade.
