Bob Taft began his second term early Monday by acknow !edging that balancing the next budget will be tougher than any in the past 50 years. But Taft, a Republican, said he is more prepared than he would have been if similar economic difficulties had existed when he first took office four years ago. "I am a little more calm and comfortable with what is happening," Taft, 61, said after he and Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley were sworn in at midnight in a brief ceremony at the governor 's residence in suburban Columbus. "I have got my feet on the ground," he said. "I have got a Ohio EPA says coke plant caused extreme cancer risk NEW BOSTON (AP) People who I ived near the New Boston Coke plant during the 1990s are more at risk for cancer than almost anyone else in the world, state officials said. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one of every 5.00 people exposed to airborne benzene and other chemicals from the plant has a higher-than-normal risk of developing cancer. By contrast, the cancer risk in most urban areas is between one case per I 00,000 people and one per I million. . .. '111at wa~ a record," EPA taxi- . etllo~ist Paul kovai siliil in a story pubhshed Sunday . in The Columbus Dispatch. "We were hard-pressed to find any other place in the country, or even the world, with levels that high." The EPA won a. $2.6 million court judgment against New Boston Coke last month, which until last spring operated the processor in this Ohio River villa~e of 2,340 people about 85 miles south of Columbus. Mayor Jim Warren said nobody in town knew how bad the pollution was or the risks it posed. "We thought everything was under control," Warren said. "Then again, we live in a river valley lined with steel mills and chemical plants. We're ~etting it from all sides every day.' A ruling issued in December by Scioto County Common Pleas Judge Howard Harcha said New Boston Coke never complied with pennits that required it to limit air pollutio9 from 1ts battery of ovens, which baked coal into coke for fueling blast furnaces in Midwestern steel mills.

Taft was sworn in among friends and family members in front of the frreplace in the living room and signed the document at his dining room table. The swearing-in, conducted by Chief Justice Thomas Moyer of the Ohio Supreme Court, was to be repeated in a ceremonial event open to tho: public later Monday morning. Taft said completing the Third Frontier high-tech project will be one of his top goals. Taft wants to spend $1.6 billion to improve hightech research in such areas as biomedical science to retain and attract higher-paying jobs. Bradley, 50. a bank vice president and Columbus city councilwoman, became the nation's first black woman to serve as lieutenant governor. She was also appointed director of the Ohio Department of Commerce. Bradley said the significance of being elected the first black woman lieutenant governor started to hit her after she was sworn in. "It's awe inspiring," she said. "I'm very proud that I'm representing the state of Ohio. It's a shining star in our nation." Monday's inaugural ceremonies were to last through the day but were scaled back from four years J. Ohio's power supply to grow with four plants COLUMBUS (AP) - The electricity shortages that were a problem in Ohio a few years ago will be much less likely after four new electric power plants open in the state this year. The mostly gas-fired plants will provide a maximum 3,440 megawatts of electricity by summer's end. That is equal to threefourths of all the new power added in Ohio from 1999 to 2002 - record years in themselves when 4,310 megawatts came online. Before that, only two plants REED Staff writer MIDDLEPORT Maggie Biggs wears a lot of hats as the secreta11.:of Rejoicing Life Church and Mid-Valley Christian School, but it's in her work with the church's local missions programs that she finds the most satisfaction. Biggs, who lives at Hemlock Grove with her husband, Denver, has worked as the church's secretary since 1997, but she began her work there as coordinator of the congregation's food pantry, a responsibility she continues to enjoy. "I started working in the food pantry in the early 1990's, and it 's grown so much since then that coordinating it could be a full-time job in itself," Biggs said. "But that's been our desire, all along." Biggs' work in the food pantry doesn't end with distributing dooated food items. She also helps those who need assistance in paying utility and prescription bills. Several pharmaceutical companies help lowincome people by providing free medications, Biggs explained. "I always try to help anyone who comes in with a need. Sometimes ~·we can get help for them, and sometimes we can't," Biggs said.

Guard callups affect police agencies statewide COLUMBUS (AP) National Guard units being called up for a possible war with Iraq could have an effect on law enforcement in Ohio . Law enforcement professionals say the nation's police forces have a disproportionate .n umber of employees serving in the re se rves , so those agencies suffer di sproportionate staffing shortages in ti1.11es of national emergency. · " Both professions tend to attract the same type of person ," said Bill Johnson, exec utiv e director of the National Association· of Po li ce Organizations.

Five State Highway Patrol troopers already are on active military duty. An additional 76 could be called to action with their branch of the military. Military callups also would cause problems for the state's prison system, said Peter Wray of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association. The union, which represents Ohio's 7,500 prison guards, said many of its members already are working double shifts to make up for vacancies caused by state budget cutbacks. Smaller law-enforcement agencies tend to be most affected when reservists leave, said Nick DiMarco, president of the state chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police. He said the absence of one officer can cause a noticeable strain. Felons bann~d from working beyond airport's checkpoints CLEVELAND (AP) - At least 24 people with criminal records have lost their jobs at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport because of a federal security order that bars felons from working beyond passenger-screening checkpoints, The Plain Dealer reported Saturday. U.S. Transportation Security Administmtion officials say the order is part of an effort to improve aviation security and is mandated by federal law. At the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, officials either denied or revoked the right of access of about 30 employees to the airport's ramps after background checks. That privilege allows the workers access to airplanes at the airport in northern Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Airport spokesman Ted Bushelman said it is up to individual companies to decide whether to retain workers that have lost ramp access. Port Columbus International Airport said at the end of December \hat it didn't find any workers with inappropriate Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 Monday, January 13, 2003 All about politics Ohio weather Monday, January 13, 2003 criminal backgrounds during its checks. Port Control Director John Mok told Cleveland City Council's aviation committee that the new, federnl rule is unnecessarily restrictive. Councilman Jay Westbrook, chairman of the aviation panel, asked Mok to help drnft a resolution regarding the plight of the displaced workers. He also asked Mok to help the workers fmd jobs in nonsecure areas of the airport. ' There's fairness involved," Westbrook told The Plain Dealer. "I don't see why someone who has paid their debt to society can't clean the toilets, shine shoes or sell trinkets." Most of the workers who were ftred at Hopkins held lowpaying jobs serving sodas, sellmg magazines or shining shoes. Dan Cecil, 28, who has a theft conviction, lost a job unloading trucks at the !ilijiort that he held for nearly two Christmas. Jamal Hill, 24, shined shoes at the airport for 18 months and felt as if he was getting his life together aftet a rough childhood and a prison sentence for manslaughter. He is enrolled at Cuyahoga Community College and looking for a job to support himself and his fiancee, who is five months pregnant. "I don't think it's right for my job to be taken from me," he said. "I've been doing so good." The dismissed workers had disclosed their felony convictions when they were hired by airport concessionaires. All had to pass through the passenger screening checkpoints on their way to work every day. None had access to secured doors that lead to the airtield or the planes. Security Transportation Administration spokesman Nico Melendez said the agency wants to ensure that people who work in secure areas "are of the utmost character." He said that: s especially important because the agency will soon end searches of travelers at boarding gates. Mok said Mayor Jane Campbell has written to the Transportation Security Administration's boss, Adm. James Loy, urging a change in the agency's position, but he said it might take an act of Congress to change the rule. U.S. Rep. Stephanie Thbbs Jones said she will push for a rule change or legislation that would allow people already working at airports to keep their jobs despite their criminal records. years. He's giving up his apartment and moving in with a friend while he hunts for a job. "I'm looking, but I can't find anything," said Cecil. who was dismissed two days after 1040.

Departing lawmakers increase staffers' pay· AKRON (AP) - Former congressmen Tom Sawyer and James A. Traficant gave their staffers generous pay raises last year after it became clear they would not return to office, The Plain Dealer reported Monday. Sawyer of Akron increased his payroll by 47 percent after he lost in the May primary. Traficant of Youngstown increased payroll 28 percent as he faced expulsion from the House because of a corruption conviction. Sawyer said the raises, which ranged from 23 percent to 139 percent per employee, were appropriate. He said they compensated staffers for doing the jobs of Local Caring: HOLZER CLINIC STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - Sen. Joseph Lieberman, freed of his self-imposed pledge to defer to AI Gore, has decided to run for president in 2004, according to an advance copy of a. speech. The senator, the Democmts' vice presidential norrrineein2000, wasrrullting the announcement Monday morning at his former high School. An advance copy of his speech was provided to The Associated Press by a source close to Lieberman. "1\vo years ago, we were promised a better America, but that promise has not been kept," the speech announcing his candidacy said. He was to tell students at Stamford High School that the nation can "renew the American dream. ... if our leaders are ready to lead, willing to fight for what's right for the American people and able to rise above partisan politics to put our country first." Lieberman had stressed since 2000 that if Gore ran again, ' he would not. Then Gore announced in December that he would not run. The next day, Lieberman thanked the former vice president for his leadership and said he would take the next several weeks to "very seriously consider the awesome opportunity that I now have." He joins a crowded field. Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and North Carolina Sen. John Edwards are running. Among the others considering a bid are Connecticut's senior senator, Christopher Dodd; Sens. Bob Graham of Aorida and Joseph Biden of Delaware: former Sen. Gary Hl\11 of Colomdo; and the Rev. . AI Sharpton, a civil rights activist. The first Jew on a major- party presidential ticket, Lieberman was known, but not well-known, before Gore picked him to be his running mate in 2000. Lieberman, a centrist, had long campaigned against violent images in the media and was a strong supporter of the Gulf War. He also drew national attention when he criticized President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky from the Senate floor. As the vice presidential candidate, Lieberman introduced America to the habits of an Orthodox Jew. He refused to campaign on Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath, although he would work or cast votes if necessary. . Lieberman said he would not favor Israel over the United States. He also earned the respect of Christian activists, embracing issues such as family, mornlity and reverence. Australian doctor says he will build suicide machine in United States SAN DIEGO (AP) - A doctor whose prototype suicide machine was seized as he left his native Australia to attend a euthanasia conference says his U.S. supporters will help him rebuild the device. Dr. Philip Nitschke said that Australian customs agents in Sydney seized his COGen machine Thursday. He had planned to unveil the device, which lets people kill themselves with carbon monoxide, before a national meeting of the Hemlock Society in San Diego. "They were waiting for me. It' s clear," he said. "We'd been quite public about bringing the machine to the U.S . to demonstrate it. .. Nitschke, 55, told conference participants Sunday that he intends to challenge the Australian law banning the exportation of any instrument that could be used to assist in suicide. He said another suicide machine would be built in the United States. Because his invention can be operated single-handedly, it ~oes not break U.S. laws barring assisted suicide, Nitschke said. It consists of a coffee-can-sized canister, an intravenous drip bag and nasal prongs. Chemicals are combined in the canister to produce carbon monoxide, which is then inhaled. Although it has not been tested, Nitschke estimated it would render a person unconscious within minutes and cause death in 30 minutes to an hour. More than $11,000 was spent to develop the patented device, but Nitschke said he hoped to make it available for free to pro-euthanasia groups. "It has all the essential elements of being simple, transportable and the patients use it themselves," said Hemlock Society founder Derek Humphry. "This type of machine cuts out the legal risk." American euthanasia advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who is serving a I 0- to 25-year prison sentence for the I 998 death by injection of a Lou Gehrig's disease patient, also used a device that employed carbon monoxide. Kevorkian's machine relied on a compressed version of the toxic gas, which is hard to obtain and transport. Nitschke said his machine produces carbon monoxide itself.

News, on Venezuela and U.S. energy policy: Venezuela' s political problems and the res ulting work stoppage at its oil monopoly underscore the threat posed to America by its unsound energy policy. Venezuela is just one example of how exposed this country re mains to stoppages of foreign oil. A bit tess than half of our oil imports come from OPEC nations, including Ve nezuela, and a bit less than half of the OPEC imports come from the Persian Gulf. With war in Iraq looming, questions necessaril ~ arise as to the continued reliability of that source . All of which points to the need for this country to reduce its reliance on foreign oil, which makes up more than 60 percent of our consumption. And the best way to do that is to embark on a reasonable conservation program , including better standards for mileage. The Bush administration' s disproportionate reliance on productiM may be good news for the oil interests that support President Bush and Vice President Cheney, but it's bad news for the country. This administration seems to abhor the notion of conservation. Regardless of how the s ituation in Venezuela plays out, it's just one more example of why the United States needs to make conservation and research into renewable technologies a serious part of its energy policy.

HENTOFF ' S VIEW Demand to quit Boy Scouts mocks the Constitution In California·, bar associations in San Franci sco, Los Angeles and Santa Clara have ur~ed that state's Supreme Court to prohtbit California's 1,600 judges from being members of the Boy Scouts of America because th&t organization discriminates against gays. California's high court is seriously considering this proposal. California judges are already forbid den to join organizations that discriminate based on sexual orientations, but there is an exemption for nonprofit youth organizations, and that includes the Boy Scouts. Says Angela Bradstreet outgoing president of the Bar Association of San Francisco - in the Los Angeles Daily Journal: "Ending the Boy Scouts' exemption is a matter of preserving a fundamental perception of fairness within our court system. It's absolutely no different from judges being excluded from sporting groups and other organizations that exclude women, African-Americans or other minorities." If the Supreme Court of California agrees with Bradstreet, its decision will collide with a June 28, 2000, decision by the U.S. Supreme Coun in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale. The case inv.olved James Dale, an assistant Boy Scout scoutmaster who had publicly proclaimed his homosexuality. He was e xpelled from the Boy Scouts for violattng one of its basic principles of membership. In its majority decision , the U.S. Supreme Court said that "we are not, as we must not be, guided by our own view s of whether the Boy Scout s' teachings with respect to homosexual conduct are right or wrong." What cannot be justified, said the court, is "the state's etfort to compel the organization to accept members where such acceptance would derogate from the organization 's expressive message . .. . The fact that an idea may be embraced and Nat Hentoff COLUMNIST '' The High Court emphasized that "this right is crucial in preventing the majority from imposing its views on : groups that would rather express other, ' perhaps unpopular. ideas . ... Forcing a group to accept certain members may , impair the ability of the group to : express those views, and only those : views, that it intends to express." · In the weekly Washington-based Legal Times, professor Thomas Baker ' - who holds Drake University's James Madison Chair in Constitutional Law - distilled the essence of the First Amendment right to asso.ciate: "We i cannot limit the Boy Scouts' First Amendment rights ... without limiting everyone's First Amendme.nt righ\s,".. .. , I hope the California Supreme Court will make that constitutional point dear.. ; to the bar associations of San Francisco, Los Angeles ahd Santa Clara . Those lawyers should have learned this basic principle in Jaw school. But. as in many colleges and universities, political correctness often ; triumphs over the fundamental diversi- : ty of beliefs that the First Amendment ·· protects, for associations as well as • mdividuals. The Boy Scouts have already lost · support from certain municipalities, · including public schools and some pri- . vate chanties, for winning this U.S. : Supreme Court decision. But to force • judges to publicly scorn the First Amendment rights of the Boy Scouts will set a precedent that could enable ' public opinion in other states to violate ' legitimate free-association rights of gay and lesbian organizations, too. Individual California judges clearly . have the right to resign from the Boy : Scouts on principle, but to compel the entire judiciary to make pariahs of the Boy Scouts mocks the Constitution. advocated by increasing numbers of people is all the more reason tofrotect the First Amendment rights o those who wish to voice·a different opinion." Freedom of association is one of the core rights ·embodied in the First Amendment. In an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, the Boy Scouts emphasized that "a society in which every organization must be equally diverse is a society which has destroyed diversi ty... Would these organizations of lawyers in California insist that the NAACP must admit as members, particularly in leadership positions equivalent to assistant scoutmaster, those blacks who thoroughly oppose affirmati vc action ahd who believe in the crucial need for publicly financed vouchers to religious schools? Should gay and lesbian org aniz,~tions be compelled to admit as members and leaders those who are convinced that active homosexuality violates reli~ iou s commandments and that its practitioners must be converted to a heterosexual life? In Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, the U.S . Supreme Court affirmed the First Amendment "right to associate with others in pursuit of a wide variety of (Nat Hentoff is a nationally political. social , economic, education- renowned authority on rhe First : al, religious '!nd cultural ends."

ALL BUSINESS Tax cut plan won't translate into better dividends BY RACHEL BECK NEW YORK - Even if a new economic stimulus plan wipes out taxes on dividends for investors, don't count on companies rushing to boost their payouts as a way to woo people to buy their stocks. h isn't going to happen, at lea:'! not in these tough economic times. Many compa nies right now can ' t afford to simultaneously boost divi dends payments and plunge money into investment spending on new factories, equi pment and techno logy. So they will have to make a choice. And chances are, they' ll decide to improve operations, and thus help boost future profits, before they stan giving money to shareholders. · A stock dividend is a portion of a company's earnings paid in cash to share holders. ge nerally every quarte r. Those reli able payments have made divide nd-paying companies increasing popular recently among investors battered by the bear market. The renewed attraction of these stocks is evide nt in the ir returns over the last three ye!trs. The 35 I divide nd-payers in the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index rose 0 .8 perce nt, on average, from 2000 to 2002. The ove ra ll S& P inde x fe ll 40 percent during the ' arne period . . There's a go od chance th at these stocks will get even more of a lift, thanks to a dividend-tax rel'ief pl an that President Bush wants to include in the government's initiative to rec harge the economy. • That's because investors, who will likely see dividend taxes get cut, will start buying more divide nd -paying stocks. It won' t just be the guaranteed payme nts attracting them to these tssues, but the tax breaks, too. Still, investors need to kee p expectations in check when they put money into these stocks. They may pay less in taxes, but they can' t count on companies to start raising their di vidends just because of the increased interest in these stocks. " It is interesting that some investors believe that there wi ll be an imminent investment spending cycle and a wave of inc reases to di vi dends paid by corporations as a result of changes to tax laws and be tter credit conditions in the economy, .. Ri chard Bernstei n, chief U.S. strate gist at Merri ll Lynch, wrote in a recent report. "It seems to us that there can onl y be so ma ny demands on corporate cash llow." he sa id. As the econom y has weakened, so have earni ngs for corporate America. So companies are hard- pre ssed for money to build or revamp their busi - nesses. That's where their earnings are likely to go, at least those not already , committed to dividends. For the last three years, companies , have held back on makin~ drastic improvements in their facihties and ' technology. ' In fact, the Commerce Department in its gross domestic product report last ' month said that business investment on ' warehouses and factories fell at a 2 1.4 percent annual rate in the third quarter. Spending on equipment and soft ware. · has been up slightly in the last two quar- : ters, after six quarters of declines, but it is still far below what it was a few years ago. Companies reali ze that it is an impor- . tant time to increase this spending, and : update and improve the efficiency of : the ir bu si nesses . The ir goal is to · increase future profi tability, which : would benefit shareholders with hig her dividends over the long run. So w hen it comes to div ide nds, what you "see is what you ' II probably get for now. ' After all the losses o.r Wall Street . over the last th ree years, that might be · enough.

BY ScoTT WoLFE Sports correspondent Oakland Raiders' Rich Gannon throws a pass in the tt\i[d quarter during the Raiders versus New Vorl< Jets At=C Divisional Playoff game Sunday in tilkland, Calif. (AP) Raiders top Jets OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders have been down this road before. That they can stay at home to travel it has them feeling super. · In blowing out the mistake-riddled New York Jets 30-1 0 Sunday, the Raiders advanced to the AFC title game against Tennessee next weekend. Counting the AFL, it is the 14th time the Raiders have gotten this far. They plan to go further, and they are using history as a catalyst. "This is our home," linebacker Eric Barton said of the notorious Black Hole, the Oakland Coliseum. "This is where we make our Iiving. We fought hard all year to make sure we pia~ the playoffs here . And we re going to make the best of it." They certainly did that against New York, which had four turnovers, a handful of dropped passes , some careless penaltie s and nothing worth remembering from the second half, when the Raiders. ·outscored the Jets 20-0. But the last time the Raiders hosted the AFC championship game, a mere two years ago, they lost 16-3 to Baltimore. The Ravens went on to win the Su~,>er Bowl , something the Ratders have not done since· the 1983 season. And a year ago, Oakland was forced to play at night in the snow at New England, where it lost thanks to the infamous tuck rule play. The Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl. "We remember," 15-year veteran receiver Tim Brown said . "Two years ago, the Ravens came in here and whipped us. Last year ... " Brown shook his head at that unhappy thought. " Obviou sly, we have home-field advantage for a reason. We 're a pretty good football team," he added. "I have a better feeling about the AFC championship e;ame thi s. time , which wtll be the third time for me. We lost 51-3 (at Buffalo in the 1990 season) and we lost at home one time." They didn ' t come close to losing Sunday. After a I 0- 10 halftime tie, the Raiders rattled Chad Pennington, the league' s mos t efficient and seemingly unflappable quarterback. And they got big plays from league MVP Rich Gannon throwing to Jerry Porter and Jerry Rice . Porter caught a 29-yard touchdown pass and set up Ric e's 9-yard score with a 50-yard reception as the Raiders made it a clean sweep fo r the home team s thi s weekend . Gannon began goi ng downfield in the second half after a I 010 tie, and it paid off. "The offen se was a little stale in th e first half," said Please see Ralden, B:Z 49ers fall to Bucs TAMPA , Fla. (AP) - With their quarterback on a roll and their coach disdainfully dismissing past playoff collapses, these are not the same old Tampa Bay Buccanners. At least that's what the Bucs contend. On Sunday, they'll get a chance to prove it. Brad Johnson threw for two touchd own passes and Tampa Bay forced five turnovers to rout San Francisco 3 1-6 Sunday in an NFC divisional playoff game. The victory advanced the Bucs to the conference champions hip game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, where their season ended the past two years. "We ' re ~oing to get on the plane and go," first-year Bucs coach Jon Gruden said. "Whether it be the Vet or Walt Whitmao Bridge, we're going to be there." Against the 49ers, Tampa Bay (13-4) looked like a team that will be tough to stop. John son directed touchdown drives of 74, 77, and 52 yards on consecutive possessions, converting nine third-down situations in a row, and the Bucs' characteri stically dominant defense did the rest. A week earlier, the 49ers ( 11 -7) rallied from a 24-point deficit to beat the New York Giants. This time they fell behind 28-6, then were shut out in the second half.

The Tornadoes (6-3) placed four players in double figures. Southern was led by another great outing from sophomore guard Craig Randolph who hit his average of 25 points, including a Falcon-killing spree of five 3-poif\tel"ll. Jordan Hill added 17 points from the point, while Curtis Neigler let fly four treys for 12 points, and senior Curt Crouch II . Justin Connolly had a great floor game and hit for nine points, Josh Smith six, Wes Burrows four, and Jake Nease three. Heath Rickard had a good inside-outside game to tie for game-high honors with 25 points, Gabe Lambert added 12, Aaron Faulk II , Chris Johnson tive, R.T. Roush four, Aaron Davis three, and two each from Stephen Roach, and Anthony Mitchell two. Southern ruffled the feathers of the White Falcons early forcing them to 15 frrst half turnovers, many of which came in the frrst period. Randolph led the charge with a pair of three pointers and Jordan Hill added another. Southern went into a full co urt offensive blitz that tired the fans as well as the White Falcons. The Tornadoes pressed and went right at the heart of the White Falcons. SHS drove inside on the break and picked up several fouls where Hill hit 6-6 at the line as SHS widened its lead. Wahama continued to cough up the ball on the press, then Southern got some good quality play from Josh Smith and Curtis Neigler off the bench. Neigler drilled a pair of three's and Smith hit two inside goals, that helped push SHS to a 28-6 first period. In the second round, Coach James Toth in just his second game as interim coach, made some adjustments and groo med the Falcon tail feathers for a comeback. The White Falcons even outscored the hosts in the second period as Southern lost some intensity, and the West Virginians regrouped.

"We looked at it all season that it was going to be between us and Philadelphia," Johnson said. "We're looking forward to it. If you're going to have to beat them, it might as well be up there." Johnson 's fine play since late October gives the Bucs reason to believe they may finally have enough offense to reach the Super Bowl. After missing the final two games of the regular season because of a bruised back, the 34-year-old quarterback was in fine form agai nst the 49ers, helping Tampa Bay control the ball for nearly 37 minutes. Even a gash over the right eye that required half a dozen stitches couldn't stop Johnson, who threw for touchdowns covering 20 yards to Joe Jurevicius and 12 yards to Rickey Dudley. "Brad is going to throw to the guy who's open," Gruden said. "That's what makes him a special player." Mike Alstott scored the other touchdowns on a J?air of 2-yard runs, each time finding room behind AllPro defensive tackle Warren Sapp. moonlighting as u tight end.

The Tornadoes also become somewhat tentative. Wahama came up with several steals out front and drove them in for scores. Two such plays were old fashioned three point plays from Rickard driver's that at one point cut the lead to 50-39 Southern. Another factor in that frame was that SHS was unable to get into its press, because it was not scoring like it had been in the early going. Thus the WHS turnovers slipped from double digits to just four in the frame. Southern rebounded to lead 53-39, then turned up the wick for a potent finale, that saw much of the game played at ei ther foul line. Southern we nt on to the 88-64 win.

San Franc is co failed to score a touchdown in a postseason game for the first time since a 49-3 loss to the New York Giants in the 1986 playoffs. Coach Steve Mariucci, whose job could be in jeopardy despite four trips to t~ playoffs in six seasons with San Francisco, said injuries finally caught up with his team. "We ran out of healthy bodies," he said. "And that's what we needed to play against such a great defense." Johnson's health was briefly a concern early in the third quarter. The cut over his eye forced him to leave the field on a cart , one hand holding a towel to his bloodied face, the other punching the air in defiance as fans roared. He was back for the next series, proof he has learned how to absorb a shot in the postseason. Johnson's previous playoff record was unimpressive: one win, three losses, two touchdown passes and nine interceptions. He exorcised those demons, leaving others for the Bucs to address in Philadelphia. "It has been rough going up there and losing," Alston said. "But this is a different ballclub, a different frame of mind, a different offense. So it's a totally different situation for us."

Tory James and Barton had interceptions matching Pennington's pickoff total of the previous I 0 games and Pennington was charged with two fumbles. Pennington, in his first season as a starter, had a I 04 .2 rating. B ul against Oakland, he was 21-of-47 for 183 yards and a 44.9 rating. "It's one of those days," Pennington said. "I can't explain it. That's why it's so frustrating. I didn't feel like I was myself out there and I don ' t know why." The Raiders were a big reason why. They got a substantial pass rush, ending up with four sacks, two by Rod Coleman. Their secondary delivered some big hits, particularly on receiver Wayne Chrebet, who had an awful day. "When you play a .good team and you turn the ball over," receiver Santana Moss said, "it's almost a given that you will nor come away with a victory." Oakland- came away with its eighth victory in nine getting Zack games, Crockett's !-yard TD run after Pennington's first fumble; Gannon's two touchdown passes; and three field goals (29, 34 and 31 yards) from Sebastian Janikowski.

"I'm just grateful for the chance to contribute," the third-year wideout said. "Any nuggets Jerry and Tim want to drop my way ... " Oakland stopped the Jets on a fourth-and-3 when Chrebet slipped on his pattern. Gannon then connected with Porter over the middle for 50 yards. It took three more plays for Gannon to hit Rice in the back of the end zone. Rice's catch was his 2lsr postseason touchdown, tying an NFL record. The 40-year-old receiver also set a record for yards in the playoffs with 2,133 in an 18-year career. "I feel just like a rookie. I'm having a ball," Rice "said. "I was so excited this week, I couldn't sleep. I was up all night long last night." Maybe it's the Titans who need to stay up all night this week preparing for the Raiders, who routed them 52-25 here in September. The Jets were a hot team coming in and Oakland rapidly cooled them off. Now comes Tennessee (125), which has won II of its last 12.

Lakers win fourth straight Ernie Els follows his drive from the first tee of the Plantation Course during the final round of the Mercedes Championships Sunday in Kapalua, Hawaii . (AP) A.perfect start to the year for Ernie Els KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) - Ernie Els, caught up in the whirlwind created by Tiger Woods, decided to quit changing his game to try to catch the world's No. I player and simply let his own enormous taJent take care of the results. The plan is working to near perfecuon. He captured the British Open last summer, his third major championship. He finished the season with an eightsbuke victory in the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa. And in the season-opening Mercedes Championships, Els crushed his competition and set the PGA Tour scoring record in relation to par Sunday, closing with a 6under 67 to finish the tournament at 31-under par and win by eight strokes. Would it have been even sweeter had Woods been in the field? "No, I don't miss him," Els said with a laugh. "He can take another month off." Woods is recovering from knee surgery and will miss at least the tirst five weeks of the season. It might not have mat- 14. Shepard added II.

Meigs held a 34-24 rebounding edge. Meigs won the JV game 54-40 led by Eric 15 points. Vanmeter 's Jeremy Blackston scored II, Eric Cullums II and Dustin Vaughan 10.

Calcavecchia set the record for lowest score at 256, a number Els might have threatened - even though the Plantation Course at Kapalua is a par 73 -had it not been for two double bogeys earlier in the week and a couple of silly mistakes Sunday. No matter. After two close calls at the winners-only Mercedes one of them a showdown with Woods that took two playoff holes and a miracle birdie by Woods to settle - Els was thrilled to have a lei around his neck, $1 million in the bank and a ticket back to Kapalua. "I didn't think . anything owed me," he said. "But it certainly gave me back this week." It also made a statement about his game, and established him again as perhaps the chief rival to Woods.

Where did LeBron James get the SUV? The high school sensation is <(riving a Hummer, a popular sports utility vehicle, which his mother reportedly gave him for his 18th birthday. Now high school officials are concerned James may have broken eligibility rules. (AP) LeBron's new ride raises eyebrows ' CLEVELAND (AP) LeBron James is traveling like a professional player these days. And not just on the court. James, the nation's most hyped player and expected No. I pick in this year's NBA draft, is driving a Hummer H2, a sports utility vehicle popular with many pro athletes, around Akron . James' ride - .with a base retail price of nearly $50,000 - has state high school officials wondering if the 18-year-old has jeopardized his amateur standing. "We have some concerns," said Clair Muscaro, commissioner of the Ohio High School · Athletic Association . "The thing I'm concerned about is that it was gift from the outside .... When our schools see something like that, it throws up a red flag. It's different than a parent buying their son or daughter a small vehicle." The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that James, a senior at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School was given· the vehicle as an 18th birthday present by his mother, Gloria. The SUV is outfitted with three televisions and a hookup for computer games. Gloria James obtained a bank loan to finance the purchase, the paper said quoting anonymous sources close to the team. Gloria James declined to comment Sunday after her son scored 30 points to lead the top-ranked Fighting Iri sh to a 76-41 win over 18th-ranked Detroit Redford at the Cleveland Convocation Center. "!' Ye got nothing to say about that, " she said. Muscaro said the athletic association is interested in hearing what the 600-student private Catholic school has to say about the young superstar's vehicle. "We have not yet talked to the school," Muscaro said. "We plan to follow up with a phone call. We ' ll see if they know anything about it. We would like to find out what they know. I think it is important for our member schools · to know what's going on." According to an athletic association bylaw, an athlete forfeits his or her amateur status by "capitalizing on athletic fame by receiving money or gifts of monetary value." "If he has violated any of the· rules , he would have to give up his amateur eligibility from the time the car was delivered," Muscaro said. St. Vincent-St. Mary athletic director Grant lnnocenzi said the school plans to comply with the athletic association's inquiry. "Our school officials will fully cooperate and expect our coaches , as well as the family, to act similarly," he said. If ordered by the athletic association, limocenzi said the school would provide documentation on how the di was purchased. "If they said they wanted it to prove his eligibility, would do that," we lnnocenzi sa id before Sunday's game . lnnocenzi said he has not seen James ' SUV, and he would not comment on whether he was concerned that James had jeopardized his amateur status. James' coach refused to answer questions about the situation. "We're just talking basketball," Dru Joyce said. "I' m a basketball coach, and he's a basketball play- er." But not just any basketball player, which is why his choice of personal transportation has caused an uproar with some of the athletic association's 823 members. Muscaro said he has received phone calls, letters and e-mails since the beginning of the season from parents and coaches questioning the St. Vincent-St. Mary 's travel to out-ofstate games and ticket prices for James' games. " It has been one thing after another," Muscaro said. Because of James' popularity, he and his teammates have played in 10,000-plus seat arenas around the country and many of the school's games are available on television for a fee in northeast Ohio. "I've l)eard from parents who have had to pay $12 to $15 to see their son play just because they were playing against St. VincentSt. Mary," Muscaro said. "They're used to paying only $3 or $4, and now it's . like they're going to see a big-time college. Is that fair?"' Muscaro said St. VincentSt. Mary has cooperated with previous OHSAA inquires about James. LOS ANGELES (AP) Now the Los Angeles Lakers need to prove they can beat teams with winning records. The Lakers beat Miami I06-81 on Sunday night to extend their season-best winning streak to four games and move within three games of .500 (17-20), the closest they' ve been since Nov. 15. Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, and Samaki Walker had a season-high 16 rebounds as the Lakers took command in the third quarter. O'Neal added 15 points, Rick Fox scored 12 and rookie Kareem Rush had a career-high II for the Lakers, who shot 51.3 percent and outscored the Heat 56-31 in the second half. Yet, even the three-time defending champions know they still have a long way to go before they begin thmking about a fourth. The Lakers have beaten only five teams - Portland, Dallas, Utah, Orlando and Phoenix - with winning records. And they have a miserable 4-14 road record. Their next two games are at New Orleans (20-19) on Wednesday night and at Houston (20-15) on Friday night. "We have to play with a different presence," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We wouldn't be happy with a loss on this trip." In other NBA games, it was: Toronto I05, Minnesota 91; Dallas 96, Los Angeles Clippers 90; San Antonio 81, Boston 80; Orlando I 07, Philadelphia 105; Phoenix 107, Utah 99; Sacramento I06, Memphis 98; and Cleveland 87, Seattle 79. Miami was outmanned from the start, with leading scorer Eddie Jones missing his fifth game because of a sprained right ankle. The Heat shot52.8 percent in the first half and 30.8 percent in the second in losi ng their sixth game in a row a season high. "Nobody likes to lose ," said Miami coach Pat Riley, who coached the Lakers to four NBA championships in the 1980s. "We're going through a real hard period right now, our best players are hurt. "I hope getting back to Miami, we can regroup, reenergize." The Lakers put the game 'away by outscoring the Heat 30-11 in the third quarter for an 80-61 lead. Los Angeles shot 11-of-17 and Miami 5of-19 in the period. The Lakers scored 13 straight points at one stage late in the third quarter to go ahead by 21 points. Miami wasn't closer than 15 points after that. Raptors 105 T-wolves 91 At Toronto, Morris Peterson scored 20 points, and Rafer Alston had 12 points, eight assists and six rebounds in his second game with Toronto as the Raptors ended a 12-game losing streak. Jerome Williams added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Raptors, who won despite the absence of AllStar Vince Carter, who missed his 17th straight game with a strained right knee. Kevin Garnett had 26 points and just three rebounds for the Timberwolves. Mavericks 96 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)Ohio State coach Jim Tressel presented the national championship trophy to the university's president on Saturday night, then showed once again that he was already thinking abo ut the Buckeyes' chief rival. Tressel, most of his coaching staff and around 35 players were introduced at halftime ol" Ohio State's men's basketball game against No. 15 Indiana at Value City Arena. They received a rousing standing ovation that lasted for several minutes. After presenting the crystal football emblematic of the national championship to Ohio State President Karen Holbrook, Tressel said to a sellout crowd, "Let's remember: We need all of you in 315 days to head to Ann Arbor!" Tressel had said similar words two years ago on the day he was hired as Ohio State's coach after John Cooper was ftred.

That means I am alone and depressed most of the time because I miss him and have nothing to do. I never get to see him in school because our class schedule's are different. and on weekends we both have to work. It feels like I hang out with his best friend more, and he agrees that Justin needs to pay me a little more attention. Yes, I have told Justin how I feel, but his only reply was that he agreed he was being a jerk, he realizes he hasn't seen me and he 's sorry. The next day he was back at it, messing around with the wires and speakers. Please help me. What can I say to him to fix this problem?- MISS LONELY IN CONNECTICUT DEAR MISS LONELY: Tell him loud and clear you think ·the two of you should spend more time together or your romance is history. In the meantime, explore your own special interests. Do not totally depend upon · others for your entertainment and sense of worth. DEAR ABBY: My nephew was married six months ago. I I Dear Abby ADVICE gave him and his bride a beautiful wedding gift. To date, not one member of the groom's family or friends has received 1r thank -you note. The bride has written to all of her family and friends, but she has refused to acknowledge any from the groom's side. She told someone that it is HIS responsibility to write his own notes, and she is not going to "enable him." In my opinion, the bride is self-centered and has no feelings or interest in the groom's family. I see it as a slap in the face. In my 75 years here on Earth I have never seen a groom write a thank-you note. What do _you think? ANGRY AUNT IN AKRON DEAR ANGRY AUNT: In the words of Bob Dylan, "The times they are a-changing." In today 's world, most couples are both employed and share household and social duties . Please don't blame the bride. You're aiming your anger at the wrong target. DEAR ABBY: My 78-yearold mother ·has a shopping problem. It's been going on for as long as I can remember. I used to organize yard sales once or twice a ~ear to clear out some of the JUnk for her. We always had a huge turnout because Mom always had a nice selection of new stuff for sale. Now that I have moved away, my sister is left with the mess, and there have been no more yard sales. Isn't "binge shopping" considered addictive behavior? Our mother is hooked on the Home Shopping Network, as well as the sales racks at her local stores. We have pleaded with Mom to stop, but she always replies, "You mijlht as well dig a hole and suck me in it now!" That shuts us up in a hurry, because we were ·always taught to respect our elders. Have you any suggestions for us , Abby? TIRED OF THE MESS IN MONTANA DEAR TIRED OF THE MESS: Not unless your mother is willing to face the fact tl\at she has a problem. There are self-help groups for spend-a-holies, and anti- defeat cavs, 6 39 Florentine depressant and anti-anxiety medications that can help sufferers cope with the compulsion to spend. One rule is that if you're going to stop a negative ·behavior it must be replaced with a positive one. But all this is beside the point if your mother has the financial resources and doesn't believe she needs help.

There were 19,724 individual meals served to youths last year - a great undertaking considering the cooks and servers have no official kitchen to use until the Pomeroy Elementary School will be made available later this year. If this outpouring of care wasn' t enough, more than 222 toys were given to children over a five-day period during the holidays. There were many churches, organizational groups, businesses and individuals who either adopted families or donated toward these noble ends. But these numbers are nothing compared to the 28,000 pounds of ~iveaway items that were distnbuted Dec. 14 at Syracuse Elementary School.

The program is called JOG (Jobs for Ohio's Graduates), an educational program designed to reach young people 18 to 21 who do not have a high school diploma or a GED, said Pat Neece, a JOG career specialist and instructor.

Please see Pf'OII'am, J Season. Dee Rader, coordinator of ministries for God's NET. praised the many volunteers who gave up their early mornings and vacation time during a particularly cold December. "These people put in a lot of work," she said. "We do it each year because it meets the needs of people and this serves the community." Rader said a lot of peoplt: whom this ministry serves felt they had to earn their supper by helping distribute the food and other items donated by the community. These individuals' sense of self worth made these donated necessities a "handup" instead of "hand-out." Rader said the ministry does not seek to merely provide hand-outs, but something more that everyone in Meigs Couniy shares. "We do this becauSe of love of community, not as charity," she said. The new year is still young, but the charitable spirit of the last should continue as the seasons change. Rader said that recent economic trends have allowed poverty to continue to stalk many in the county. "There is still tremendous need in this community," she said.
