I became pregnant immediately. · What I thought would make us both happy and bring us closer actually did the opposite. I had a miserable pregnancy and felt abandoned. Jeff grew emotionally distant and stopped communicating almost completely except for our constant battles. Our son is now 16 months old and the apple of my eye. Jeff has a new JOb with a good .future. We bought a house and ·Jive in a great neighborhood, but he is still distant and picks fights constantly. He agrees counseling might help, but refuses to go. I have tried to improve our relationship, including private counseling, but it's not working. Jeff is a great father but a lousy husband . We both changed with my pregnancy - he went from a helpful, happy husband to a miserable, frustrated man. Divorce is expensive - financially and emotionally - and a battle will most likely ensue over our son. Where can I go from here? - UNHAPPY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR UNHAPPY: With Dear Abby ADVICE no input from your husband about what is wrong, it's difficult to say. However, one line in your letter, "What I thought would make us both happy actually did the opposite," makes me wonder if your husband felt trapped by the pregnancy - and his subsequent behavior is the result of feeling pushed into fatherhood he didn't feel ready for. Where you go · from here depends upon how much longer you're prepared to tolerate your living situation. One thing is certain, nothing will change until you BOTH have laid your cards on the table. If your husband refuses to go to counseling, perhaps your next step should be to consult a lawyer about what your options are. There are worse things than divorce. A contentious marriage like yours is one of them. DEAR ABBY: I am an lith-grade girl. Our student handbOok states that "public display of affection is discouraged at school and could result in disciplinary action." If this is true, shouldn't a student also get in trouble for sexual harassment? A guy in one of my classes has been touching, grabbing and pinchin~ me. I told some of my girlfnends, and two of them said he does the same thing to them. We hadn 't wanted to tell each other, but now we're glad we did. We went to the assistant principal's office with our complaint. He gave the boy one day of detention. After that, things got worse. The creep is sti II picking on us, and our school isn't doing anything to make him stop. What do we do now, Abby? Were we wrong to tell? If not, how come nobody is doing anything to protect us? School is supposed to be a safe place, right? Please help us. THREE GIRLS FROM ZANESVILLE, OHIO DEAR GIRLS: Document each instance - date, time and place- in order to establish a record. Tell your parents what's going on. It's time for your parents to discuss this matter with the school principal . If that does not stop the harassment, take it up with the board of education. They need to know what's going on before it's necessary to take legal action. Readers, here is a gem. It was submitted by Tom Berilla of Silver Spring, Md.: DEAR ABBY: My daughter, Claire, told my 3-year-old granddaughter, Hanna, "We plan to remodel the kitchen and dining room, and move the walls from ' here to there."' Trying to include her little girl m the project, she asked, "And what would Hanna like?" Hanna's reply: ''Take away the time-out corner!"

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - The National Prostate Cancer Coalition reveals that the incidence of prostate cancer in West Virginia is nearly one-fourth higher than previously believed, making it the fourth largest jump in prostate cancer prevalence in the United States. The NPCC says that other states with high rates of prostate cancer are explained by pointing to a large population of African-Americans, a that is at a particular risk for the disease. ~Q~Y};r~ We~t Yirg~i!..Jl.P<;Jio.. n mold, lively small African-Americans. The West Virginia Cancer Registry said that age is the most significant risk factor, and that dietary fat may also be a risk factor, although two local prostate cancer survivors say that they eat diets low in fat. Jack Fowler of Point Pleasant, who i.s instrumental in the opening of the river museum, said that he was diagnosed almost eight years ago with cancer and had surgery. He has been cancer-free since then. Fowler said that he has always eaten a low-fat diet, although he said he consumes meat with most of his meals. , "I have always cut the fat off my meat. My brothers and dad used to tease me about it when I was young," said Fowler. Jack Sturgeon, another prostate cancer sur" vivor, said that his diet, too, was low in fat. "My wife and I have tried to watch our choles-. terol for years, so we eat lots of vegetables an~ don't eat fried or fatty foods," said Sturgeon. : The WVCR cites that cancer of the prostate iri West Virginia was the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men during 1995 t<i 1999. The registry also said that ha~ng a father or brother with prosta~ cancer doubles a man'~ risk for this disease.

' Hammond, a Wheeling native with 25 years experience in environmental testing, opened he business in July 1999 after purchasing equipment owned by her fanner employer which went out of business. She said she located GreenScape in Ravenswood because the City of Ravenswood was already a client and because she saw a need to provide environmental services to the area. While GreenScape's clients have to date been large coal companies, Hammond said GreenScape has broadened the services it offers to include wastewater analysis in an attempt to better serve the area. She said the ability for GreenScape to test and analyze samples locally gives the company an advantage over other environmental consulting finns.

At Friday night's meeting of J;>omeroy Village Council, it was unanimously agreed that the $295 ,000 to be borrowed would come from Leasing 2 in Tampa, Fla., the company offering the lowest interest rate. For the I0 year period over which the fire truck will be financed, the rate will be 3.82 percent. Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Departmen,t,_ Chief Rick Blaettnar met with council' and explained that a representative of I ~ • * Local·News Leasing 2 had indicated there would be no problem if the village decides to make additional payments to reduce the length of the loan. That had been a question raised by council in an earlier meeting. Blaettnar also said that while the loan papers will have to be rewritten in the event of extra payments, the company indicated the original interest rate would be locked in. Council President Victor Young, who at the last meeting had stated his preference for keeping the business locally despite the fact that the next lowest bid would have cost the village $25,000 more in tax dollars - said he had changed his mind and would vote for accepting financing from the low bidder. Young said he had talked with a local banker whose bank offered a significandy higher interest rate, and the banker had recommended that council · do "what is best for the village and the fire department." All six council members voted in favor of financing the truck through Leasing 2. Blaettnar reported that the truck would be delivered 330 days after the . order is placed. Council also approved $1, I00 for two firemen to attend a FDIC firemen's training course in Indianapolis later this month. In other action, first readings were given to ordinances providing for 2 percent salary increases for salaried nonelected supervisory employees and salaried non-supervisory employees.

NATIONAL VIEW Doing duty Guard call-up brings home the impact oftwrld events • Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal, 011 the deployment of the National Guard to active duty : Seeing members of a Pensacola- based National Guard unit leavmg for active duty - and potential war with Iraq - brings home the impact of world events. It also underscores the pride all of us hold for our fighting men and women. And reminds us of the vital stake we all have in the foreign policy of our nation. Perhaps Saddam Hussei n will do the right thing and step down before the United States' military is forced to remove him . Given his track record, we doubt it. But he should not doubt the resolve of the people coming after him, including Company B of the Third Battalion of the !24th Infantry Regiment from the Pensacola National Guard Armory. Calling up the National Guard to active duty is the sign that events are coming to a climax. It shows a nation committed to action, and it is a serious thing . ... In part the deployment is one link of a long chain that began on Sept. II , 2001, in New York City and Washington, D.C. Anyone here who thinks that what happens so far away doesn't have an impact on them had only to be at the National Guard Armory Sunday to watch the buses, filled with troops from Northwest Florida and South Alabama, pull out. We all wish them a safe journey and a quick return. ·But we know that they will do their duty and uphold the long and honorable tradition of the American civilian soldier and patriot. And when they return, we'll know the job has been done. TODAY IN HISTORY . BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS :Today is Sunday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2003. There are 346 days left in the year.

Thought for Today : "Truth is not a diet but a condiment." Chri , to pher Darli ngton Morley, American journalist ( 18901957) -~·· --~ -..... ---......, ·· ,.,~ ~ ~ ------------------------------------~--------------------------- • BARRY'S WORLD Corraling the iguanas while visiting:the Virgins In these times of international tension, real news professionals disregard their ~ersonal safety and head for the world s trouble spots. Thus it was that recently I traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where I faced the very real danger that, as a journalist in the field, many of my expenses would he taxdeductible. The Virgin Islands are located in the Caribbean, which gets its name from the Indian words "Cari," meaning " body of water," and "bhean," meaning "that makes you really glad your computer has a spell checker." The Virgin Islands were discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, who wisely elected to remain on the ship during the discovery process so as to avoid being turned into Purina Shark Chow by the people who already Jived there. Before sailing briskly away, Columbus named the islands "the Virgins" because he thought they looked like reclining women, which tells you how long HE had been on a non-coeducational ship. Although the islands were originally claimed by Spain, over the years they belonged to Holland, France, England, Denmark, Poland, Wales, Nigeria and the New York Yankees farm organization, before they were finally purchased by the U.S. government for $25 million, which is coincidentally the exact amount that I spent down there on drinks with names like "Drambuie Kablooey." This is pretty much how everybody passes the time in the Virgin Islands: You lie in the sun, listening to the soothing sounds of the wind and the surf and the precancerous lesions forming on your skin. The only remotely alarming thing I saw during my visit occurred at a small outdoor bar at a place called Sapphire Beach, where a wedding reception was going on, and the bride's falling into the water like a sack ur ~ gravel. . . I estimate that I got up on the surfboard, and immediately fell back off, 50· . times, in the pr&es~ traveling forward a : total of II feet. ; I was the source of much 'entertain- . ment for the people on the beacli.

Friends may call at the funeral home from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday, January Millie Blackburn PUBLISHER'S VIEW Just the mention of the word itself strikes fear deep in the hearts and souls of many a man, woman and child. Change. Exactly two more letters than the fo ur-lettered ones your mom used to wash your mouth out with soap for saying. Change. An evil word. Or is it? Be it positive or negative, change is often greeted like a blast of arctic wind - not warmly at all. We can try as hard as humanly possible lo resist change, but change is as . inevitable as our bodies' natural aging process. It is nearly impossible to find a person, a business or a product that has not changed significantly, especially within the last decade. Think back to when most convenience stores were open 24n and you went inside to pay for your gas, then purchase an impulse item or two at the counter. Now, you pay at the pump and dash away. The convenience store industry made it faster for drivers who want to fuel and go, but it also appears to have sacrificed a lot of in-store traffic and impulse sales. Nationwide, .the sale of newspapers at convemence stores has decreased significantly over the years, perhaps, in part, due to pay-at-thepump. But, the convenience store industry made a conscious business decision to change for well thought-out reasons. Grocery stores are the ones now open 2417, and have as many inedible items as food items. The larger stores even have pharmacies that can fill yo ur prescriptt on while you grocery shop . All of the changes were made to retain customers while attracting new customers. The drug stores today seem 10 be smaller versions of grocery stores, and also carry toys and other general merchandise items- all to retain exi sting customers and to attract new ones. · It would be hard . to come up with a business segment that has changed Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV I, ' Check out all of your . area games in the Sports section of the iunbap Wimes ·ientinel Deaths Local Briefs Don E.

The new addition was named for long-time library trustee Charles Blakeslee , and includes a unique open plan, new furnishings and a panoramic view of the Ohio River from its bank of expansive windows. The $674,000 renovation project was paid for through the library board's building fund, said Library Director Kristi Eblin. The year-long undertaking also involved a reconfiguration of the existing library space. A new circulation area, office space and genealogy research room have been flying colors and has shown ·no signs of cancer since then. Sturgeon was diagnosed with prostate cancer after his doctor found a lump on his prostate during a regular . exam. The doctor discovered cancer after two biopsies. Because of his age, 70, the surgeon and radiologist at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore suggested that he undergo recommended radiol ogy and hormone therapy instead of surgery. He. received 42 treatments over a 60:daY period, after no detectable levels of antigens were found in his blood. He gets a checkup every six months to be sure that he remains cancer free, though. All three men agree that it is important for men over the age of 50 to get a yearly exam that checks for prostate problems. Sturgeon says that he didn't fit the profile for the disease and recommends men become educated on the topic. "Just because you don't fit the statistics doesn't mean you' re not susceptible to it. Anyone over 50 should have a digital exam and have their PSA levels checked annually. If you catch it early, there is a good chance of recovery," said Sturgeon. "If you find out that you have prostate cancer, get intelligent about the disease," he added. "A good patient will learn about it so they can effectively communicate with their doctor." constructed. Crews from the Sandyville, W. Va.-based contracting fliTD will soon begin a complete renovation of the ground floor. That phase of the renovation will include construction of two new conference rooms and rest room facilities. "When patrons return to the library on 1\Jesday, they will be able to enjoy all asp<?cts of our new library," satd Eblin. "Some of our shelving has yet to arrive, so some materials will not be in their final location, but our staff will be able to locate anything our patrons need." Library patrons will also have access to eight additional parkin~ spaces in the rear of the hbrary, Eblin said, which will help alleviate an ongoing employee and patron parking problem. .

With the threat of war a possibility, a local woman 1s working to prepare troops to move into position when the time comes. And that time may be sooner than people think. Lt. Col. Amanda Del Villan Clark of New Haven is battalion commander of more than 700 soldiers in the 332nd Ordinance Batialion (AMMO) of the U.S. Army Reserve, based in Kenova. She said that some of her troops are being deployed to Missouri early Sunday morning, where they will pause briefly before being deployed to Kuwait. Clark said that the call came as no surprise. "The men have been waiting for over two months, and I think they are actually relieved. Morale is . good, and they are ready to go," said Clark. Clark's job is to make sure that the four companies of soldiers under her command are trained, both individually and collectively, to be battle-ready and able carry out the duties that they are assigned to at the drop of a hat. One job that her men will perform will be to move ammunition across the theater they are serving in. They must be able to move tractor-trailers across country, cutting through forests and laying bridges as they go, getting ammunition and equipment to the troops. Clark is also in charge of a military police unit that do rear battle, protecting built up cities, defending the base and keeping order. They also keep charge of POW camps, making sure that everything runs smoothly. . Clark has been in the military since 19'77, ftrst in the regular Army, then in the Army Reserve.

She feels that the role of leaders is very important. "Our job as leaders is to plan and train properly. We use past battles to learn what not to do," said Clark. She said that a lot of people are under the impression that the reserves are inferior to the regular Army. but it just isn't true. "The reserve augments and rounds out the active duty Army. Many of the reserves are professionals, such as drivers, medical personnel and engineers. I have seen the reserves fall on top many times in training exercises," said Clark. "They do everything that active duty does, except they train on weekends and during the summer. Many of them work 40 to 50 hours a week and on weekends learn and keep up their soldier duties," she added.

VANCLEVE, Ky. (AP) A small Appalachian Bible college is fighting to change its telephone number because the 666 prefix is disturbing to Christians who recognize it as the biblical mark of the·beast. "People say, .'You're a Bible college and you have 666 in your phone number?"' said Carlene Light, an office worker at Kentucky Mountain Bible College. "It's the connotation. No one wants to be part of the mark of the beast." · The conservative, nondenominational Christian college on a hillside in eastern Kentucky has been trying for months to persuade a telephone company to change the Funds from PageA1 That particular decision is made on a case-by-case basis and if the qualifying applicant has not utilized the Heating Energy Assistance number. Rob Roy MacGregor, the college's vice president for business affairs, said staff and students want the number changed to a second prefix, 693, that recently was added after all the 666 numbers were taken. In the biblical book of Revelation, "666" is stamped by Satan into the foreheads or hands of those marked for eternal damnation during the last days.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Emotion was running high in the Ohio Valley Christian School gymnasium in a tough, physical game between the OVC Defenders and the South Gallia Rebels. · In a game where players bodies were flying everywhere and no lead could ever be considered safe, South Gallia pulled away in the fourth quarter to escape OVC with a 55-47 win. The. game was decidedly up tempo and fea~ured playe~s streaking through the lane for lay ups and short JUmpers. Thts · worked to the advantage of both teams but in the end, it was South Gallia's depth that helped them pull away for good in .the fourth quarter. The game started with both teams trading baskets back and forth. The Defenders depended on the looming inside presence of Scott Frans to carry OVC through the first quarter. Frans had OVC's first four points and helped open up the outside by . drawing the Rebels defenders. The Rebels started the game by flying around on both sides of the ball. With a pressure defense, South Gallia was able .to repeatedly steal the ball and race down the court for easy lay ups. This forced the Defenders into many early fouls that would come back to haunt them · later on. In the first quarter, neither team · Merrick could maintain an offensive rhythm. Even with both teams playing hard, the shots weren't dropping. At the end of a relatively low scoring first quarter the score was tied at eight apiece. South Gallia came out determined to dis- . tance themselves from the Defenders in the · second quarter. This determination culminated in a five point lead at half time that the Rebels worked both ends of the court to get. South Gallia got balanced scoring from the guards with two three pointers coming from . J. WaUih Zach Lee and Ja~n Merrick. Lee was also pivotal for the Solfth Gallia defense. · The defense held the Defenders to only eight points. Dustin · Lewis scored six of his 12 points in the first half and drained . a two pointer with 47 seconds left to give South Gallia a 21161ead. · The Defenders came out in the second half ready to erase South Gallia's five point lead. OVC started drawing fouls by being aggressive and letting Nathan Bowman drive to the basket and attract Rebel defenders. • Three of Bowman's five third quarter points came from the line and put South Gallia in foul trouble. Bowman's scoring allowed Frans to get back into the game and steamrolled his way- to four more points in the third quarter. This assault on the Rebels defense slowly chipped away at the South Gallia lead until, with 2:05 remaining in the third quarter, a lay up by Bowman had erased the lead and evened · the score at 25 apiece. . South Gallia responded by replacing all five players on the floor for some fresh legs and a much needed boost. The move worked as the Rebels made a 11-4 run that established the fourth quarter lead that South Gallia refused to relinquish. The fourth quarter started with the game tied at 29 and the lead up for grabs. South Gallia grabbed on frrst and refused to let go. Points were tough to come by in the fourth quarter as both defense became very aggressive and refused to give an inch. The moderate foul trouble that both teams were in, exploded in the fourth quarter and ensured that the winner of thts game would do it with free throws. · The Rebels shot 26 free throws in the fourth quarter and converted 18 of them. This helped them maintain their lead, but at the same time the Defenders were given chances of their own. The Defenders shot 14 free throws in the fourth quarter · and made 9. OVC was led by J.P. Lindeman who was 4-5 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. BranJon Caldwell's nine points for South Gallia made a huge difference for the Rebels down the stretch. Seven of Caldwell's nine points came froim the free throw · line on clutch shots that kept the Defenders from getting any · closer. The Defenders narrowed the South Gallia lead to three points with 48 seconds left in the game but could get no closer. South Gallia hit 8-10 from the free throw line in the last minute and this sealed the victory for the Rebels. In JV action, South Gallia ran away from OVC and handed the Defenders a 51-18 loss.

The Lady Rebels used a suffocating defense combined with the sure shooting of Sarah 'wright and Julia Gwinn to defeat the Lali,y Defenders. SOuth Gallia started the game out-hustling and out-playing the Lady defenders on both ends of the floor. The Lady Rebels used a balanced offensive attack that propelled them to a 11-2 lead after the first quarter. Joanie Fellure, Sarah Wright, Tosha Pelfrey, Heather Temple, and Jessie Cantrell all contributed to the first quarter lead and this team play was equally evident on the defensive side of the ball.

All had excellent seasons, as well, but found themsel ves part of one of the more surprising Pro Bowl snubs in NFL hi sto ry. Heck, the expansion Houston Texa ns sent two guys and, yes, even the 2-14 Ci ncinnati Bengals will be sending one player, fullback Lorenzo Neal, to Hawaii. The Titans? They ' ll be sitting at home. Last month, when the news had just been delivered, Tennessee took it out on Jacksonville (with one Pro Bowler) with a 28- 10 victory, one of its most thorough performances of the season. The Titans wrapped up the AFC South title that day, as well. · Afterward, Bulluck told the world how his teammates felt : "For this team to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and for no one to go to represent Tennessee in Honolulu is absurd. People are just going to have to feel the wrath." While the Titans keep searching for respect, the Raiders are dealing with almost the opposite emotion. They practically have too many stars to NOT make the Super Bowl. Joining Gannon in Hawaii will be Jerry Rice, Lincoln Kennedy and Rod Woodson. Gannon led the lea~ue with 4,689 yards passing. Kennedy 1s one of the best tackles in the game. The other two will be in the Hall of Fame when they retire. With so much talent come expectations and the pressure to perform. Asked a question with the words "Super Bowl" in it Thursday, Kennedy interrupted the reporter. "You're getting way too far ahead now," he said. "I've got other concerns on my mind right now." As he should. The Titans are Il - l since Oct. 13 and are turning into much more than the ball -control and field -position team they were during their fir st Super Bowl run in 1999. Last week, Tennessee went to a noback offense and McNair threw for 334 yards in a 34-31 playoff win over Pittsburgh. He ran the same offense in a rally from 12 points down against the Giants last month. On defense, the Titans have proven they' re much more than just Jevon Kearse, the fourth-year defensive end who had 14.5 sacks his rookie seaSQjl when the Titans went to the Super Bowl. "I've got concerns across the board about him," Kennedy said . "Part of it is because we don ' t have a lot of film on him." Indeed, Kearse has been dealing with a foot injury all season and has barely played. Playing in Kearse' s place, Carlos Hall has eight sacks this season. Kevin Carter leads the team with I 0. Meanwhile, only one runner, Corey Dillon, surpassed the I 00-yard mark on · the Titans all season . All that, again, begs the question: Could a team this good, a team one win away from the Super Bowl, really not have a single all-star? "That's totally irrelevant at this point," George said. "We understand that some guys felt they should have been there. But that's how it goes. And, Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair (9 ) throw again s t ; hey, all we can do now is pull for each the Pittsburgh Steelers during the AFC divisional playoff gam e -~ other and try to win." it;l Nashville, Tenn. Jan . 11. {AP) ' , , ., ' Tunney says don't throw a flag at NFL officiating Bv HAL BocK Associated Press :For 31 years, Jim Tunney pulled on a striped shirt, scuffed a pen alt~ tlag in his pocket and officiated NFL games. He might have missed a call or two along the way, but tl)ere weren ' t many complaints, certainly nothing like the uproar created in the first tWo weeks of the playoffs. :Tunney watched from home as back judge Scott Green blew a call at the end of the s·an Francisco-New York Giants game imd referee Ron Blum followed him on the hot seat in the Pitts bur~h ­ 'Il:nnessee game the followmg week. :" It's a lot easier to officiate from my couch than standing in the middle of all those maniacs yelling at me," the ex -ref said. The yelling is understandable . These are the playoffs. Losses are aggravating in any situation, but they are particularly galling when it's one and done , and the outcome turns on an offi cial's call. :So there was Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher, running halfway across the field at Tennessee with veins and eyes bulgi ng, making a beeline for Blum. It was not to wish the ref a ·pleasant offseason. Tunney wasn' t about to sharpshoot Green and Blum. l-ie knows tirsthand just how tough a situation they were in, fOrced to react instantly to plays that then get shown over and over fro m a variety of angles in super slow motion on TV. So he tried to be ge ntle about a volatile issue. 'These guys have a 96, maybe '97 percent rate of getti ng call s right," he said. "That's pretty good. "There have been some mistakes in commun ication. There was confusion, and they didn 't take the time to sort it out. I thi nk hudd les help. You go man -by-man and say, Tell me what you saw.' I don't thi nk any dialogue went on tnere. That's ·the key. They have to talk to each other. "When the Giants' No. 69 (g uard Rich Seubert) reported as an eligible receiver, everybody hm, to know. You go around the horn. all the officia ls and the defen,ive captain. too. That \ where it broke down. Why, I don't know. It's "'ystem that needs to be revisited and im proved.'' • The league agreed, issuing a r~e public apology to the Giants for the missed call and ordering all field officials to confer on ·COntrQversial, game- . deciding calls. In the game at Tennessee, Blum got in trouble twice. First, he admitted to a.stadium full of people and national TV audience that he didn't know if a play was reviewable. Then he gave Titans kicker Joe Nedney a third chance at the winning field goal by calling the Steelers for ·running into the kicker on a missed attempt. Tunney thought Blum did the right thing on the review . call . · "It was honest for him to say, ' I don't know but I'll find out,"' he s;~id . "That was courageous. The bottom line is he got it right. That's the essence of officiating." The Steelers' penalty for running into Nedney sent Cowher sprinting after Blum. Two days later, the coach had cooled off. "I think the officiating is for the most rart very, verj solid," he said. " have nothing but the utmost respect for the guys that are out there doing a very difficult job. I think there has been too much emphasis and publicity being put on the negative part of it." In both cases, the Steelers and Giants lost games they might have won. And although those calls at the end stuck out, the fact is that plenty went on before that in both games that led to those losses. Tunney said making officials full-time employees would not solve any of the problems. "Baseball has full -time umpi res, and they make mistakes," he said. "Full time doesn' t mean perfection. Better communication is better than full -time officials." The best offi cials are in visi· ble. Dick Hantak ended a distinguished 25-year officiating careeer with the playoff game last week between the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets. There was some pregame trash talk but no other controversy and no screaming for his scalp at the end. Tunney once was asked about fans and the abuse they heap on officials. "He'll scream fro m the 60th row of bleachers that you missed a margi nal call in the center of the interior line," the ex-ref said of a heckler. "And then he won 't be able to find his car in the parking lot." BS • National Football League BY ~uttbap ~imes -~rntinel • Page Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant .

Despite bitter cold temperatures, thousands of Buckeyes fans piled on layers of scarlet and gray clothing and went to Ohio Stadium for a celebration honoring Ohio State's national championship. Between 50,000 and 60,000 people attended the 50-minute event, according to Ohio State officials. The sunsplashed day did nothing to make the frigid air · I 0 degrees with a minus 3 wind chill - more tolerable, but fans didn't seem to care. Not when it comes to honoring the 'Buckeyes. . "We couldn't make it to Tempe, but we're happy to be here," said Ahmad Sinno, a sleeping bag draped over his shoulders. "We're happy to be here to be able to celebrate with the team." Fans stood and cheered as Ohio State players wearing their home jerseys walked out of the tunnel and onto a stage that had been set up on the center of the snow-covered field. University President Karen Holbrook, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman and Gov. Bob Taft thanked the players and coaches for their effort and the fans for their support. Coleman unveiled a street sign that renamed nearby _Lane Avenue, on~ of the camp11s' mam drags, Champ10ns Lane. "We know this is the best team in the nation, at the best university i": the nation in the best city in the natiOn," Colem'an trumpeted as fans applauded. "We are No. !." Coach Jim Tressel heaped praise on his players, coaches and fans . "You folks, right here, are the greatest," he said. "We couldn't have done it when he told her she couldn' t come. "We've got everything and we' re still cold," said Sinno, a 1992 Ohio State . graduate who lives in the Columbus suburb of Westerville. , Several hours before the pep rally began at 1 p.m., fans wearing hats, gloves, scarfs a nd even blankets crowded outside the stadium's gates and chanted "0-H-I-0." Once inside, they watched a replay of the Fiesta Bowl on the stadium scoreboard and cheered play after pia~ of Ohio State's victory over Miam1 on Jan. 3 in Tempe,' Ariz., as if the game was being played live. The Buckeyes ended up beating the Hurricanes 31-24 in double overtime, clinching an undefeated 14-0 season and their first national title since the 1969 Rose Bowl. The 15-day span between the Fiesta Bowl and the celebration - along with cold temperatures - didn ' t dampen fans' enthusiasm.

The senior guard has scored 20, 25 and 30 points in the last three games, turning into the Bearcats' only reli able scorer. He has emerged since a talk with coach Bob Huggins, who urged the reserved senior to become more asserti ve on the floor. Until the last few games, Stokes has played as if he was more worried about making a mistake rath er than looking to lead. Tulane (7-9, 0-3) dropped its eighth in a row against Cincinnati because it couldn't stop Stokes, even when the Green Wave knew he was going to get the ball and shoot. Wisconsin 53, Ohio St. 52 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - With a game hanging in the balance, Wisconsin relied on a wily senior to score on offense and a freshman to make a defensive stop.

Wildlife biologists point out that bird feeders are primarily for people, ·since there is no evidence that they contribute significantly to the survival of wild bird populations. They also note that there is no harm associated with the practice, so long as the feeders are away from areas where domesticated cats or other animals might ambush the birds. The data suggest that your backyard feeders are opportunistic - they will use any available source of food. Wildlife biologists say that food is only one component in the habitat formula. Birds in the wild also need water, shelter and space. But once the . backyard buffet is set, don't be surprised if an uninvited guest or two decides to raid the banquet. Helen Matthews has been feeding the birds from a half dozen feeders in the back yard of her Fostoria home for more than 30 years. Awhile back, a fresh suet block disappeared from her lilac tree one night, and as soon as she replaced it, the next one was gone just as quickly. A little investigation and a fresh snowfall that revealed incriminating tracks led to a possum that had taken up residence in the rows of firewood behind the garage. It was helping itself to a high· calorie snack by simply climbing the tree and chewing through the rope that held the suspended suet bag. Some wire took care of that proplem, and the birds were soon back in the feeding business. In winter, they make Ohio's backyards a popular stop.

"I killed a decent little buck with my bow back at the end of October and had a chance at another pretty good one, but my arrow slipped off the arrow rest and spooked the deer," he said. Love said he passed up a lot of deer last fall, too, and spent time trying to help his 16-year-old son J.D. fill tags. After bow season, Love said he was fired up for gun season, but the first week went slower than he bad hoped. "I went through the first week of gun season and didn't see a decent buck all week. There was a spike that showed up, but I didn't shoot it," he said. The second week of gun season, Love changed hunting areas - which led to a change of luck. "The second Monday, I killed my first gun-season buck that came in right behind a doe. It was a 14pointer," he said. "The buck has nine big tines with an IS-inch spread · and a number of sticker points. It had been kind of depressing the first week with things going so slow. But that buck made up for it."

One of the proposed changes would make the legal hunting hours for rabbit, pheasant and quail from sunrise to sunset, for both public and private land. Also, the early mid-August squirrel season may be a thing of the past as September. I would be the opening day of squirrel season - to coincide with the opening of several other .seasons, most notably mourning dove season. From the hunters I've spoken with, it seems the early squirrel season simpl7. failed to catch on. It certainly isn t because of a shortage of squirrels; I saw a multitude of squirrels during the deer gun and muzzleloading seasons. Perhaps it's time to break out the .22 for a little late season hunting. Young hunters may ~et additional turkey hunting opportumties. One proposal will modify youth hunting hours during the spring wild turkey season to one-half hour before suntise to sunset. This change is intended to make spring turkey hunting competitive with the numerous recreational opportunities our youth have' available to them today. I think it would be a good idea to expand the turkey hunting hours for hunters of all ages . Open house forums will be held on March 2 in each wildlife district to give the public opportunities to view and discuss l?roposed hunting and trapping regulations . A statewide meeting will be held March 13 in Columbus, the wildlife council will vote on the proposed rules and season dates on April 9. • FREE PINE SEEDLINGS AVAILABLE - Free pine seedlings are available for planting in the state's southern 49 counties as a result of cooperative efforts between the ODNR and the Ohio operations of Inside: Inventory Sunday, January 19, 2003 Jeanette Howdyshell tries on a bonnet, one of 188 items made from feedsacks in the Chester Courthouse exhibit.

What's the difference between being ''overweight" or being "obese?" Actually, there are a few different ways to figure that. One is called the body mass index, or BMI. To figure out where you fit, you'll have to get a calculator - yep, this requires' math. BMI is an estimate of your body fat by using your weight and height. The official way to do this is to take your body weight in kilograms and divide it by your height in meters squared. If the metric system stops you cold, here's another way : Take your body weight In pounds and multiply by 703.1. Then divide that by your height in inches, and divide by your height in inches again to get your BMI. Health risks from excess body fat begin with a BMI of 25. Those with BMis of 30 to 39 have increased risks, those at 40 and above have major health risks. People with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered "overweight," and those with BMis of 30 and above, "obese." One caveat: Even the experts admit that BMI can he a crude measure. Even if your BMI lands in the healthy range, you might have lots of fat and little muscle, putting you at some health risk. On the other hand, muscle weighs more than fat, so people who are muscular but lean could have a higher BMI and not encounter any weight-related health risks. OK, let's say your height is 5 feet, 4 inches, and you weigh 175 pounds: First, 175 times 703.1 equals 123,042.5. Divide that by your height in inches - 64. That equals 1,922.54. Divide by 64 again, and you've got a Becky Collins COLUMNIST body mass index of 30.04 just at the "obesity" threshold. If you take off 35 pounds and do the math again, your BMI goes down to 24. Still another way to calculate BMI is to use an online calculator, like the one provided by the National Institutes of Health at http:/fnhlbisupport.comlbmil bmicalc. <http:/fnhlbisupport.com/bmilbrnicalc.htm> h t m <http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi lbrntcalc.htrn> . That makes it easy. There are other ways to measure a healthy weight, too. One is the "pounds per inch of height' method. While generally less accurate than the BMI method, it can give you a tough idea of what ~~r healthy weight might For women, allow 100 pounds of body weight for · the first 5 feet of your height, then add five pounds for every inch above 5. feet. For men, allow 106 pounds for the ftrst 5 feet, then add 6 pounds for each additional mch. According to this mea- · sure, 5-foot-4-inch woman should weigh 120 pounds, which calculates to a BMI of 20.6.

Super chilies offer tasty nutrition, with or without meat and.beans WASHINGTON (AP) The following three partysized chili recipes have a winning strate11y: robust flavor and sohd nutrition, minus excess calories and fat. Chili is "a great cold· weather comfort food and crowd-pleaser," says Melanie Polk, director of nutrition education at the American Institute for Cancer Research. It's also basically a healthful dish, although through the years, its meat and fat content have been supersized. .These recipes offer alternatives. "To address America's rising health problems, like excess weight, cancer, diabetes and heart disease," she says, "AICR has revamped the classic chili to emphasize flavor and pump up its health-protective features." The reworked chilies feature a healthier balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Polk points out that chili peppers and other spices, considered the hallmark ingredients in chili, offer important health bene· fits, and beans, too, are rich in protein and fiber. "Many Americans," Polk says, "think of chili as a beef dish, but numerous versions, including meatless chilies, have been developed." Chili's popularity first took hold m Texas, in the late 1800s. Some Texans totally reject the idea of chili with beans; others think of beans as an essential ingredient. As chili's _popularity has expanded dunng the last I 00 years, variations have multiplied. Some Southwestern chilies call for rattlesnake or armadillo meat. Cincinnati chili contains spaghetti; Hawaiian versions have used the fish mahi mahi, and one Asian-style version includes adzuki, a sweet red hean. The following meatless chili tastes better eaten a day or two aftcr it's made, testers say, and even dyed-in-thewool meat-eaters may find they enjoy it. The baking chocolate it .calls for can be omitted but it does provide a rich, deep flavor that acts as a kind of substitute for the flavor of meat. (If you don't tell them, those who eat it may not guess it contains chocolate.) The recipe makes nine servings, but it can be extended for a large crowd b,Y serving it over hot cooked nee, preferably brown. Leftover cooked meat, like diced turkey or chicken, can also be added.

Perhaps you don't have to look closely to know they are covered with scratches. Even one or two scratches will get in the way of good vision. It seems no matter how hard you try, you end up with scratched glasses. Some of you may even have tried using glass rather than plastic, but the weight makes them uncomfortable. Glass lenses are also not suitable or safe for children. Instead try a scratch resistant coating. These coatings do just as their name suggests. They resist scratches; they don't prevent them. With consistent rough handling, the lenses may scratch. Do your part to avoid lens blemishes. Never place your glasses on a hard surface with the lenses facing down. Ideally, your glasses should be kept in a case when they're not on your face. Scratch resistant coatings are one of the least expensive, yet most effective treatments you can get to keep your lenses in good condition. Remember that when you purchase your new glasses. · . • ~ 'I ' ,'·1 - o• 7ie • .~. Next to Wai' Mart • 446·3~83 Gallipolis, Ohig .

The purpose of the two-year grant is to help local oommunities respond to poten" tial threats of bioterrorism, outb(eaks of infectious diseases, and other public health emergencies. Gallia County received $91 ,141 for equipment and training to increase Gallia County's ability to respond to these threats. In addition, Cathy Clark was as Infrastructure hired Coordinator to carry out planning, training, and coordination with other organizations. Clark has experience in disaster response and planning gained with volunteer work with the American Red Cross. Within days of completing three core disaster response courses offered last April by the Gallia County Red Cross, Clark and other volunteers were called upon·for the May 8 tornado, helping to prepare and distribute food to victims and responders. Over the summer, she assisted in updating the Gallia County Emergency Plan, in regards to the Red Cross functions of mass care and sheltering. Previous to accepting the Infrastructure position, Clark was employed by the University of Rio Grande as Assistant Professor of Management and most recently as Director of lilstitutional Research. As a result of the Public Health Infrastructure Grant, the Gallia County Health Departrnentrecentlysubrrrilted a local Bioterrorism Plan to the Ohio Department of Health. This plan details how the Health Department will work together with the Gallia County Emergency Management Agency, law enforcement, medical providers, and other local, state and federal agencies. Part of the plan includes setting up smallpox vaccination clinics, should that become necessary. Planning ahead of time will ~low better response in the unlikely event that terrorists release a disease that threatens to spread to Gallia County. Health Department staff will be trained in the role they will play to protect the health of county residents, should such an event occur. Simulations involving other agencies in the ·county and region are also planned. Although the. grant particularly !flfgets bioterrorism response, the day-to-day Health Department functions will also · benefit from the planning, training, and purchasing of · equipment, as welL Part of this benefit comes from new cooperative agreements between the Gallia Health Department and other Cathy Clark GUEST COLUMNIST hea1th departments in a sixcounty area. Plans are to work together as a region to make the most of human and material resources which may not be available to the individual health departments serving the rural counties of Gallia, Jackson, Vinton, Hocking, Athens and Meigs. For instance, there is now a regional epidemiology and vaccination team. This team is available to help local health departments set up ways of identifying, tracking, and protecting against possible outbreaks of any serious disease. An example of the benefit of future cooperation might be if another disease outbreak like West Nile VITUs occurred. This unfamiliar, mosquito-borne disease began in the northeastem states and now is found in many states. Cooperation from health departments across the New England region and then the rest of the cou\}try led to early detection of the spread to new areas, determination of the cause of symptoms, spraying of standing water to prevent new cases, and public education about how to avoid being infected. Local public health agencies are likely to be the first to be aware of unusual occurrences of health threats. Their abilit)' to quickly detect and then effectively respond to a bioterrorist attack can mean the difference between containing the spread of the disease, and seeing · widespread effects that bring panic and instability. A public health infrastructure of trained and equipped people from many organizations is our best defense against any disease outbreak, whether naturally occurring or intentionally caused. ' · Future grant ' activities include refining bioterrorism response plans, building disease incidence monitoring systems, training with disaster simulations, and creating cooperative agreements with local and regional partners involved in biological emergency responses. As a result of participation in this grant, Gallia County has become more able to coordinate medical, environmental and health conununication responses to natural and intentional public health emergencies. (Cathy Clark is Public Health Infrastructure Coordinator for the Gallia County Health Department.)

Columnist WASHINGTON - Citing safety concerns, the nation's two largest health care unions want a delay in smallpox vaccinations. But the Bush adrrrinistration said Thursday · it will move ahead as planned, with inocula· lions to begin next week. The unions argued that there are not enough safeguards in place to make sure people at higher risk of injury are not vac· cinated. And they complain there is nothing in place to ade· quately compensate people who are hurt by the vaccine. "Health care workers across the cquntry want to be prepared if a smallpox outbreak occurs," Andrew L. Stem, president of Service Employees the lntemational Union, which represents 750,000 health care workers, wrote President Bush on Thursday. "But it is wrong to a5k them, their patients and their families to put their health at risk while you have been unwilling to niake the plan as safe as possi.' ble." Similar concerns were registered by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents 350,000 health care workers. On Friday, the Institute of Medicine plans to release a report advising the administration on implementation of its plan. When they met last month, several members of that panel, mostly academics from schools of medicine and public health, were also critical of the Bush plan. fearing it was being put in place too quickly. Despite the critiques, the admirustration is ready to move ahead, said Jerry Hauer, assistant secretary for public health · preparedness at the Department of Health and Hwnan Services. He said the administration was working to address the unions' concerns, though he disrrrissed the Institute of Medicine as one of many voices. "I didn't pay much attention to the 10M's comments on this," Hauer said in an interview Thursday.

When he announced the vaccination plan, Bush said it was needed to steal the nation against a bioterror attack, though he said there is no imminent threat that smallpox, last seen in 1977, will return. The first wave of vaccinations are recommended, though not required, for health care workers and people on special smallpox response teams - those most likely to encounter a contagious patient. Because it is so risky, the vaccine is not recommended for the general public. Experts estimate that between 15 and 43 out of every million people being vaccinated for the first time will face serious complications, and one or two will die. The vaccine is particularly risky for pregnant women and those with a history of skin problems or comprorrrised immune systems, including people with HIV, cancer and organ transplant ra;ipients. · -- · · · · · · · · · · - - .- -·~· ~· 4 __ ,, - · '-'«llipolif llailp ttrtbunt Joi,nt Jltafant 1\eat•ter The Dail Galllpoljs Lions Club member Jeff Fowler recently donated money to the Gallla County sheriff's office Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team to buy equipment.

The yearly event starts Thursday. (AP) Sundance serves up far-ranging menu of independent films PARK CITY. Utah .(AP) Documentaries on Fidel Castro and Thpac Shakur, a Thai epic about a manyred 16th century queen, and a ftlm-noir musical starring Robert Downey Jr. are among highlights at this year's Sundance Film Festival. America's top showcase for independent movies, the festival that opened Thursday has rounded up some unusual suspects for its 11-<lay run. · "It's as eclectic and as differentiated a program as we've ever had," festival director Geoffrey Gilmore said of the 124 feature-length and 90 short films. Castro is the subject of "Comandante," an HBO documentary prem1enng at Sundance that was culled ·from three days of intimate conversations the Cuban president did with director Oliver Stone. The life of slain rapper Shakur is recounted in another documentary, ''Tupac: Resurrection," while "Legend of Suriyothai" is a Thai-lanlluage epic about a queen slain m battle against Bunnese invaders in 1548. Holly Hunter, to be honored with the festival's independentvision award, appears in two Sundance films, including "Levity," the opening-night feature that co-stars Billy Bob Thornton, Morgan Freeman and Kirsten Dunst. Dustin Hoffman appears in · the mob tale "Confidence," while Bob Dylan pla~s a cull music star in the sauric "Masked and Anonymous," co-starring Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange, John Goodman and Penelope Cruz. Downey ha~ the title role in ''The Sin~ing Detective," his first mov1e since completing rehabilitation and probatiein after years of drug and alcohol problems. Adapted from Dennis Potter's novel, "The Singing Detective" is among the hot prospects for ftlm buyers prowling Sundance. It co-stars Robin Wright Penn, Katie Holmes and Mel Gibson, whose production company made the film. Distributors have picked up such critical and commercial · successes as "The Blair Witch Project," "In the Bedroom" and "You · Can Count on Me" at Sundance in recent years. Just as often, though, hot Sundance acquisitions tank at the box office, amo~ them last year's "Tadpole." Hollywood types joke that distributors can lcise perspective in the thin rnountam air and embark on bidding wars that have pushed some ftlm prices into the $10 million range, beyond the box-office potential of most indie movies. Ftlmrnakers hope to land their movie with a company that will market it to the right audience. "You really want to get that distributor that isn't just going to go, 'This movie's got Mel and Roben in it,"' said ..The Singing Detective" director Keith Gordon, wbo carne to Sundance three years ago with "Waking the Dead." "You want that person who loves the movie and thinks they know how to tum it into the next 'Being John Malkovich.' You want somebody going, 'We know how to sell this movie."' Organized by Roben Redford's Sundance Institute, the festival has grown into a hybrid as a ftlm market, a spot for stars to pitch upcorrung flicks and a showcase for talent working outside ·the studio system.

And many of the residents of Twin River Tower Apartments have found that their hearts have made their apartments just that - their home. · Dr. Ellie Smith is one of over 100 individuals who reside at the Tower. Smith is originally from Hazard, Ky., but hasn't lived there since she graduated from high school. She went on to college and earned two bachelor of arts degrees, a master's degree and a doctorate degree in English and Cultural Studies from the prestigious Oxford University in England. And while earning her post-graduate degrees, she was a full-time college professor. She has written two books of poetry and a non-fiction book -- all have been published. Smtth moved to Point Pleasant last year from Phoenix, Ariz. One of her sons lived in Arizona until the Air Force required him to move to Alaska. Smith lived alone following her husband's death and when her son moved, she really did not want to stay in Phoenix, so she decided to move to Point Pleasant where her sister lives and where her parents · spent their fmal years - the Tower. Smith enjoys living at the Tower and the small-town atmosphere in·Point Pleasant. "I enjoy the people here," she satd. "There's always something to do in the building when you tire of sitting in your room. And I Jove beinj! close to the river. I often stt and watch the boats go by and just reflect on things. It's nice to be back in a small town after living most of my life.in big cities. And I have a connection to this area and to Appalachia, being from Kentucky, so I don't feel like a fish out of water." Smith spends her spare time crocheting, reading and writing. . "I am planning to write my autobiography," she said. "I spend a lot llme researching my family history. The key to being a good wnter is to read and to gather facts." Mary Wheeler, 81, originally from Ohio, is one of the first Tower occupants. She moved into the Tower Feb. 8, 1981, following the death of her husband. "I said that when I moved in here I wouldn't be here a month," said Wheeler. "I've been here ever since. I've seen a lot of people move in and out and some who've died. We're on our fourth manager, too. This .one (Libby) is OK," she said jokingly. "There are Jots of things to do here," said one resident. "Some people just choose to sit in their rooms and feel sorry for themselves." Tower residents can choose to participate in a number of functions or activities. There is a room set aside for working on jigsaw puzzles and a craft room complete with a loom. And someone is usually working on a quilt, too. A TV room is located on the sixth floor, complete with a big-screen television. A birthday dinner is held once a month and the residents contribute by bringing a covered dish and everyone is invited regardless of whether they have a birthday that particular month. Thanksgiving and Christmas yield wonderful dinners. Residents, along with their families, can participate in an Easter egg hunt. There are also outdoor barbecues when the weather is appropriate. And- on snow days, many of the grandparents with families in the local area get a special opportunity to visit with their grandchildren who have working parents. Smith isn't sore how long she will reside at the Tower. "I don't know what the future holds," she said. "But for now, I am very content here."

There was no time left for learning the "girlie" things. I left that to my older sister. Now that I'm an "adult," I've become a huge fan of television shows like "Trading Spaces" on The Learning Channel and "Changing Rooms" on BBC America. For anyone who has lived in a cave for the past few years, these shows give couples the opportunity to switch homes with their neighbors for a weekend. The couples are teamed up with a designer and completely remodel a room on a budget of $1,000.

(l:lavarro County about ~0 NEW YORK (AP)- By making Dick Parsons its chairman as well as chief executive, AOL Time Warner is banking that his consensus-building skills can save the media empire created by merger two years ago. Problems have plagued the c<;>mpany almost since America Online and Time Warner joined, and on Thursday its board of directors unanimously elected Parsons to replace Steve Case, co-foun4er of America Online, who is departing in May. Parsons was chosen, analysts say, because of his ability to juggle multiple divisions and his hands-on approach to solving problems. AOL Time Warner is facing , most notably, a more than 60 percent decline in the stock price that has enraged investors. "It's a company that needs some healing and they needed somebody who plays well with others, and Dick has shown that he does that," said Jonathan Gaw, a research manager at IDC Inc., a technology market research firm.

Superior Court Judge Larrie Brainard ruled Sunday, January 19, 200~ • Getting back to my 'girlie' years When I wa~ growing up, I loved to read. I'd read anything I could get my hands on. Of course, living on a farm with no kids my own age within miles meant having plenty of free time to do this. Of all the books that I read, my favorites were the books in the Laura Ingalls Wilder series· which featured "Little House on the Prairie." I was fascinated by the way peopled lived off the land, producing much of what they used themselves and wasting very little. I was inspired. I wanted to be just like Laura. I wanted to work in the fields - to cook and to sew. · Well, the extent of my domestic endeavors was nothing short of spectacular. My Barbie dolls (yes, I played with dolls) received an entirely new wardrobe from scraps of fabric found in my mother's closet. Granted, they were no Bob Mackie creations, but I was extremely proud, nonetheless. As I got older, I soon grew tired of sewing. My free time was quickly consumed Page D3 ' The institute, which holds seminars for print and broadcast journalists, owns the newspaper. During Dunlap:s tenure as dean, she strengthened the faculty by hiring more practicing journalists. She also helped build the school's prognuns for newsroom leaders and news organization owners, the institute said. "Karen Dunlap is a remarkable combination of teaching skill, journalistic expertise and admi.nistrative talent," said Andrew Barnes, chainnan of the institute and chainnan and CEO of the Times. "Poynter will continue to blossom uoder her leadership." Dunlap said she wants to expand the institute's sources of income, strengthen its staff, and expand programs. She also said she wants to remind journalists "now important they are to society." Dunlap has worked · in reporting, writing, and editing positions at the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner and the Macon (Ga.) News and the St. Petersburg Times. She earned a bachelor's degree from Miclligan State University, a master's degree . from Tennessee State University and a doctorate in mass communications from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

Yel, these folks arc afraid to commit to an installation because they perceive a skylight as a rai n foiest in a frame - a source of condensation and a leak hazard. Fact is. in some cases. such fear is for good reason ~ espe· cially in today' s modern homes where every nook and cranny is completely sealed und airtight. An airtight condition cnuses less air movement in the home. This mean s more condensation on windows (moving air absorbs moisture). Condensation that gathers on windows can gather on a skylight in lhe same way In One Week With Us REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE and for the same reason. The diff5rence is. that on a window the condensation runs down the sur- face of the glass lo lhe window sill where it puddles and can be- come a scie nce experiment. Wilh •kyli~hts, the conrlensa· lion also dnps downward, but toward the floor , where you could be standing, or where you might have an expensive piece of furniture. If your windows condense, there is a good chance lhat a skylight will too. When air doesn' t move properly al window level. it probably won't circulate well at skylight level either. Having said that. we still love sky li~hts and the aspect .of the outdoors lhal they bnng into our hom es. A skylight doesn't have to be a rain-generating device at all. If properly installed, a skylighl"can be a bonus to a room, withee only a remote chance uf condensing or leaking. · Here is the list of pitfalls you will need to be careful about when adding a roof window or skylight: • If your roof is badly worn or close to shot, don't try adding a skylight. The al(ead!l poor condition of the roof wilt be exacerbated by the adllition of a skylight. Wait until you replace your roof. Skylights are best installed when the roilf i& being •e-· placed .. Roofing is cheapest in the spnng. Roofers see!ll to run out of work right after the snow melt, and .slow times mean lower prices. • If your skylight has 10 be tunneled from roof to ceiling. be sure the sidewalls are well msu· lated. This is not the place to get ventilation to the skylight lhat will reduce or elimmate condensalion. In fact. thi s is the worst place to let air into the home . During the summer. your attic can get hot enough to meh candles. Not insulating thi s area can result in heat loss in the winter (energy waste) and heat gain in the summer (more "energy waSie).

County Commissioner James Sheets is realistic about fundin~ levels in the county. He said many departments have had to make tough decisions and cutbacks in order to face up to the budget short· falls facing everyone. "You can ask for whatever you want, but if you hadn't got it ... " he said. "If you talk .with every other department, everyone got cut and they have learned to live with it." Trussell counters that his department does not work a 9 to 5 day, but is staffed around the clock. Fourteen people, which includes nine deputies, staff the sheriff's department during two 10-hour shifts seven days a week. This num: ber of law enforcement officers is down from 18,.because two full-time and two part- . time people were laid off last year. · "How can you operate like this'" Trussell asked. Last year, the sheriff's department narrowly averted more lay-offs and a shutdown in December. Since funding has been cut from last year's levels, the sheriff pre: diets even more hardship this year. He said he has approximately $262,000 to run his department for the remainder of the year. This money has lfeen appropriated into salaries, but can be generally spent on other essentials as well. Earlier this year, the commissioners approved the transfer of $74,200 from Trussell's payroll budget into other budgetary line items. All of Trussell's transfer requests cited the need to pay past bills from 2002. Bv TH!

MILES POMEROY Meigs County Sheriff Ralph Trussell has filed suit with the Fourth Appellate Ohio District Court against the Meigs County Commissioners demanding financial relief. Trussell is asking for a writ of mandamus, which is an order from the court demanding that the county commissioners provide. reasonable funding to operate the sheriff's department. In the suit, which was filed with the Meigs County Clerk of Courts, Trussell claims that he has a constitutional right to funding which is mandated by statute. According to Trussell, his office is in danger of shut· ting down by mid-year because there is not enough money to adequately staff and operate the sheriff's department. Due to changing economic times, the county commissioners have had to cut county budgets. On average, every department's budgets, including the sheriff's department, has been cut approximately t9BB Ford Mustang 4 cytin· dar. $t,OOO.

With Steve McGhee as master of ceremonies, 84 students from Buckeye Hills Career Center, Gallia Academr High School, Meigs H1gh School, Oak Hill High School, Point Pleasant High School, River Valley High School and South Gallia High School came together to walk down the runway sporting fashions from Brittany's. Edna Whitely, Ariel board member, said the runway, built by Saxon Construction, has drawn more attention and participants to the review. She said attendance to the show has been up and more students are interested in partici- pating. There are notably fewer boys participating than girls in the show. "The guys always get laughs," she said.
