Overprotective father may be shielding his abuse DEAR ABBY: Please tell "Caught in the Middle," the mother of 15-year-old "Becky," that she needs to step in for her daughter's sake. The girl's overprotective father has gone off the deep end. I was also rdised by hyperprotective parents. When I was finally allowed to spread my wings. I went a little crazy. I wanted to catch up with my tiiends and see what I had been missing. The result was·! became a mother at 18. - SMALL TOWN IN ILLINOIS DEAR S.'f.: When I published that letter, the roof caved in. I received more than a thou sand letters and emails. Read on for a sample : DEAR ABBY: The only time I was let out of the house was to go to school. I wasn 't allowed to have friends call me or even attend my own seni or prom. The one time a boy did call. I got the silent treatment from my stepdad for a week. I finally joined the Army to get away. I had my first date when I was 18. The only difference between "Becky" and me is my stepfather was physically. emotionally and sexually abusing me. I am now 43 and have ne\·er married. I ha ve a hard time trusting men. I can't stress enough how detrimental this situation can be for a Dear Abby ADVICE yo ung person. I'm living TRYING TO proof. TRUST AGAIN DEAR TRYING: Thank you for an important letter. I'm sorry to say that at least one-third of those who wrote to comment on that letter had stories similar to yours. DEAR ABBY: I spent several years in law enforcement and had the opportunity to in vestigate cases of incest among family members. One of the signs we noted , time and time again. was extreme "oyerprotectiveness" by the fathers who had abused their daughters. (Their motive was jealousy and paranoia that the child might reveal to their friends what was happening at home.) It might be advisable for that mother.to look deeper into this. - CONCERNED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONCERNED: I agree. DEAR ABBY: I am a ,... \\'cdnesday.

In the words of C. Knight Aldrich, M.D.. professor emeritus of psychiatry and family medicine at the Uni versity of Virginia School of Medicirrl!: "One should not think that only fathers who are sexually abusing their daughters are overprotective. Sometimes overly conscientious parents are, too. The problem is, if parents are too rigid, their worst fears can tum into a self-fulfilling pmphecy."

POMEROY Two Racine men received prison sentences Monday in connection with burglaries in Pomeroy and Racine. Kevin R. Roush, 33, and Jamie Terzopplous, 23, both of Racine, appeared before Meigs County Common Pleas Judge Fred W. Crow III on charges filed in a bill of information earlier this year. Roush was accused in the burglary of two private residences in Pomeroy and Racine , and Terzopplous in the Pomeroy incident . Roush was sentenced to two I 8-month sentences, to be served consecutively, and Terzopplous to one ISmonth term. Both were ordered to pay joint restitution to victims in the inci- dents. According to Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt, Terzopplous and Roush entered the residence of art elderly Pomeroy woman, and demanded that she issue them checks from her personal bank account. · Proffitt said the woman, intimidated, issued checks to Terzopplous and Wal-Mart for $360 each, and to Roush for $160. The unarmed men also ransacked the woman's home , and removed additional cash and collectible coins, Proffitt said. The victim, who did not know the burglars, called the police immediately after they left her home.

AS and Service, 204 Condor St POMEROY With spring just six weeks away, members of the Pomeroy Merchants Association discussed plantings as a part of Pomeroy's downtown beautification program. In keeping with the bicentennial theme, it was proposed that red, white and blue flowers be dominant in the areas between Main Stree! and the parking lot. Bobbie Karr J?roposed changing the vaneties of flowers to vinka, which can be obtained in the patriotic colors, and is relatively maintenance free . She also suggested that each bed be planted in one color rather than several for better visual appeal. The plants would also be used in the half-barrels at the corners of Main and Second streets and in the pots which line the streets. The red bicentennial banners, while faded, will continue to be used on the peri- od lampposts in the village this year and then replaced with new banners, It was decided. It was reported that . order for ornaments featurin~ a picture of the new bndge ts pending receipt of an updated picture from the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Erma le~and .. spoke on the Arts group, boycotters settle suits ~ CINCINNATI (AP) Lawsuits between the Cincinnati Arts Association and the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati over boycott issues have been settled. The agreement announced Tuesday dismisses the arts association's lawsuit in the 1st Ohio District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati and the coalition's lawsuit in . U.S. District Court in Cincinnati. Under the settlement, the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati - one of the groups calling for an economic boycott of the city over racial justice issues - will be allowed free use of Memorial Hall to hold a series of four public forums next ~ear. The arts association also agreed to hold more edu· cation and arts-related programs and performances at schools and other sites in poorer communities. The coalition did! not agree to stop ask· ing entertainers to avoid performing in Cincinnati, and no financial payments will be made to either side. Lucian Bernard, the attorney who represented the coalition, said both sides were looking for ways to solve the legal disputes. Steve Loftin, president and executive director of the arts asssociation, said continuing the lawsuits didn't serve the best inter· ests of either group. The arts association, w)lich oversees the Aronoff Center for the Arts, Music Hall and Memorial Hall, sued the coalition in March for $86,000 dollars in lost ticket sales. The arts group charged that the coalition's persuaded performers to honor the boycott and interfered with legal contracts between the association and the performers.

Today 's Highlight in History: On Feb. 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was born in present-day Larue County, Ky. On this date: In 1733, English colonists led by James Oglethorpe founded Savannah, Ga. · In 1870, women in the Utah Territory gained the right to vote. In 1892, President Lincoln's birthday was declared a national holiday. In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded. In 1924, George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" premiered in New York. In 1968, "Soul on Ice" by Eldridge Cleaver was first published. In 1999, the Senate voted to acquit President Clinton of perjury and obstruction of justice. Ten years ago: In a crime that shocked Britons, two I0year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, lured 2year-old James Bulger from his mother at a shopping mall near Liverpool, England, then beat him to death. (After eight years in a reformatory, Thompson and Venables were released after a parole board found they no longer posed a danger to the public.) Five years ago: A federal judge threw out President Clinton's new line-item veto authority. At Nagano, Norwegian Bjorn Daehlie became the first man to win six Winter Olympic gold medals, as he placed first in the I 0kilometer classical cross-country race. One year ago: Former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay expressed ''profound sadness" about the collapse of the energy giant, but refu sed to testify at a Senate hearing. Former Yugoslav pre sident Slobodan Milosevic went on trial in The Hague, accused of war crimes. Pakistan charged three men in connection with the kidnapping of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Karachi (they and a fourth man were later convicted of Pearl's murder). An Iranian passenger jet crashed, killing all I I9 on board. The International Skatin~ Union announced it would conduct an "internal assessment' of the Ol ympic judging that gave the Russians the pairs figure skating go ld medal over the Canadians. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" received 13 Academy Award nominations; tied for second with eight nods were "A Beauti ful Mind" and "Moulin Rouge."

That includes the judge who last week reinstated the youngster to his high school team, to officials at his high sohool and to all those greedy firms, salesmen and wouldbe agents who look at this supremely talented Akron teenager and only see dollar signs. The Ohio High School Athletic Association declared the Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary star ineligible after he accepted two sports jerseys from a Cleveland store. That's a violation of an OHSAA rule prohibiting amateur athletes from capitalizing on their fame by taking money or gifts of monetary value. It's a good rule and it's in place for a good reason. But Summit County Judge James Williams reinstated James. Though the player will have to sit out one more game later -he also didn't play last week against Canton McKinley · - the judge's temporary restraining order clears the way for James to play three final regular- season games. A Feb. 19 court hearing will make a final determination. Given the storm that swirls around them, it's a wonder the young man and his teammates can concentrate at all on the basketball court.

A budget for these times calls for a strong defense It is no inconsequential matter that President Bush submitt!!d a budget to Congress proposing a $307 billion deficit for 2004. For much of the past I 0 .years there has been biparusan agreement on Capital Hill that the federal government balance its books. Yet hardly anyone would dispute that these are unique )imes in which President Bush 1s asked to decide the nation's fiscal priorities. America is still recovering from the worst terror attack in its history; it is girding for a possible war with Iraq; and the nation's economy remains mired, stubbornly so, in the sluggish state in which Bush founcl it when he moved into the White House. As Bush said, his 2004 budget "meets the challenges posed by three national priorities - winning the war against terrorism, securing the homeland and generating long-term economic growth." To that he might have added a fourth priority: Further strengthening national defense. For the $15.3 billion increase in defe11se spending the president is seeking 1 represents half of the $30 billion he is proposing in new money for the operation of all federal agencies. Of course, the president's budget was greeted with no small measure of criticism by Democrats in Congress, who suggest that Bush bears blame for the disappearance of the federal surplus and for the return of yearly budget deficits. "Today's budget confirms that President Bush is leading the most fiscally irresponsible administration in history," Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said in a statement. He suggested that the $307 billion deficit the president's budget projects for 2004, the more than $1 trillion in red ink the budget projects over the next five years, Joseph Perkins COLUMNIST are attributable to the president's tax cuts. Which. as Daschle and his fellow Democrats remind us, is a giveaway to the "rich" at the expense of the poor and middle class. Bush sees it differently. "A recession and a war we did hot choose have led to the return of deficits," he said, in his budget message. And he refused to allow the party of Daschle to make debt reduction tlie standard by which his presidency will be judged. · ' , ' "Limiting and reducing the federal. debt remain's a priority for this administration," according to the president's budget summary. "But it is not the sole or eyen the top priority. Ahead of it come national security and economic security - protecting the nation from aggression and protecting the financial futures of America's families." Bush remains convinced that the best way to restore the government's fiscal health is to stimulate robust economic growth by reducing the government's claim on worker payc)1ecks. Which makes economic sense· inasmuch as consumer spending accounts for twothirds of economic activity in this country. If consumers have more money to , spend, by way of tax cuts, it stands to ' reason they will generate that much • more economic activity. Meanwhile, • even with the tax cuts, the president's , $2.2 trillion budget represents a spend- • ing increase of little more than 4 percent from the current budget year. That , includes not only the nearly $380 bile : lion Bush is seeking for the Pentagon, ! but also the $36 billion for the new ' Department of Homeland Defense and the $15.47 billion for the National i Aeronautic and Space Administration, • $700 million of which is an increase In · spending on the shuttle program that was proposed even before the recent l fatal accident. And while much ado is being made of : the Bush tax cuts and their effect on the • federal budget, and slightly less is being , made of his other spendmg priorities, i the fact is that the tax cuts and the other ·· discretionary spending the president : proposes are dwarfed by automatic · spending beyond his control. Inde~d 'ridil•discretionary spending on such federal benefit pro.grams as ,.S~cil\!: Secunty, Medicare " lind ' ' MMrcmo account for two-thirds of the entire federal budget. Were these nor)llal times, were the ' United States not trying to recover from . a terror attack and preparing for a possi~ ; ble war while also tying to rejuvenate. ~ its sluggish economy, then it would be untenable for the president to propose . $307 billion in deficit spending. But , these are not normal times. So it is unreasonable to expect that the presi· dent would propose a balanced budget. , (Joseph Perkins is a columnist for, The San Diego Union-Tribune and can ; be reached at , Joseph. Perkins@ UnionTrib.com.) RUSHER'S VIEW Candor will make Bush sbig gamble pay qff Let me declare my own sympathies first. I have been, and still am, I 00 percenl behind President Bush in his determination to disarm Iraq before Saddam Hussein succeeds in acquiring nuclear capability. I cannot imagine anything more idiotic than waiting around until he acquires it, on the theory that onlr, then will the threat be "imminent' enough to warrant action. And I cannot see stretching out the "inspection" process for another few weeks or months as anything but a futile and highly dangerous stall. That said, I think the Bush administration's management of the long debate over whether or not to take military action against Iraq has been staggeringly inept, unless - and it is a huge "unless"- it is ready to win that debate at the last minute by coming forth with more explicit and persuasive evidence than it has yet provided concerning Hussein's current nuclear program. It needn 't be overwhelming evidence. Bush has plenty of enemies, at home anc\ abroad, who wouldn't be convinced by a photograph of Hussein with an atom bomb under each arm. And I recognize the importance of protecting our intelligence sources. But the American people, and the world at large, are not unreasonable - when·facing war - to ask for more evidence of Saddam's current nuclear activities than gauzy assurances that "every nation with a competent intelligence service knows they exi st," or legalistic arguments that "it isn't up to us to prove that he 's doing these things - it's up to him to prove ihat he isn' t." By sticking to such evasions thro ugh '· William ·Rusher COWMNIST thick and thin for seven months, the Bush forces have allowed their enemies to mobilize an impressive display of opposition, from mass demonstrations in a dozen cities worldwide to noisy objections by the foreign ministries of such major nations as France, Germany, Russia and China. Even worse, North Korea's Kim Jong II has seized the opportunity to push his own ugly nuclear agenda. Hitherto, I have assumed that Bush was simply saving the crucial eyidence until it was really needed, rather than giving his op~onents months in which to pooh-pooh tt. This is being written in advance of his State of the Union address, and it may well be that in that speech he will offer additional information that people of good will can accept as making h1s case. But unless he does so, either then or very soon thereafter, he will lead America into this necessary war with Iraq with far less domestic support, and far fewer major allies, than would otherwise be the case. Ironically, even then Bush would probably win the argument in the long run. America's military superiority to Iraq is so overwhelming that the war is . likely to be brief and (insofar as any war , can ever be) relatively painless. Once It is over - indeed, once it has begun - ' the cheap international opportunists like the current government of France are very likely to line up in belate!] support of it, if only to make sure that they get their share of Iraqi oil in the peace set· tlement that follows. But if anything goes wrong - and wars are famous as places where things go wrong - Bush, .. by failing to make the case for war tha$ is there to be made, will have insured that he will have the maximum number of foreign and domestic critics. Among other things, that would be the end of · his high ratings in the polls. Let me repeat: There is no need for Bush to produce the famous "smoking · 15un." (What would constitute a "smokmg gun" anyway?) But surely there is at · least one knowledgeable participant in, · or observer of, the Iraqi nuclear effort , ready to testify to its broad outlines. Or there are other, technical means of ferreting out enough of the truth to be convincing to reasonabl!! people. Bush has the confidence of the great majority of the Americ mpeople. Most of them will follow him into war with Iraq, if it comes to that, even without such evidence. But they - all of us - . will feel far more comfortable if treated with the candor owed to a nation that is beinl5 asked to lay its soldiers' lives on the hne.

While a significant percer:rtage of information technology employees provide support for computer and data processing serv1ces, the need for information technology workers cuts across nearly all industries, including manufacturing. finance, insurance, real estate, agriculture, health care, and government. Information technology is here to stay! Yet, in Ohio and throughout the nation, there is a serious shortage of skilled IT workers. Under the direction of the State Department of Education, Meigs Career and Technical Center as a member of the Washington/Morgan/Meigs consortium has made great strides to develop three areas of IT concentration: Information Support Services, Network Systems -A+ & Net+, and Interactive Media. The A+ course offers students knowledge of personal computers. Course topics include basic structure, basic programming, troubleshooting, upgrading, and repairing Windows conflicts. By the end of the junior year, each student has been taught all the necessary knowledge to become A+ certified. After completion of the A+ course, students enroll in the Network+ course. This program teaches how to make computers communicate with each other. This is a very useful tool in the industry today. It also has a certification level. These two programs combined give a person the ability to work in most computer settings around the United States. IT-Information Support Services A major area of study offered in Information Technology is Information Support Services. In addition to courses such as English, chemistry and math, students may also choose from a wide variety of technology courses including Word Processing, Spreadsheet and Database Management, Accounting, Introduction to the Internet, Entrepreneurship, and Desktop Publishing. Upon graduation, students are equipped with skills in general computer usage, information management, networking, basic programming, basic software development, basic PC troubleshooting, and business management. With these skills, students will be well on their way to preparing themselves for ~pllege or technical school and to entering orie of the highly demanded IT professions. or·• C11reer Meigs Eastern High School High School IT- Interactive Media IT- Interactive Media students become competent users of both Windows and iMac operating platforms.

Five-car crash in practice sends driveFS to backups· NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Teresa Phillips' first game as coach of Tennessee State's men's basketball team will be one for the record books. Phillips, the school's athletic director, will become the fll'st woman to coach a men's Division I college basketball team when the Tigers pia~ at Austin Peay in Clarksville, Tenn., on Thursday ni~ht. Phillips suspended mterim coach Hosea Lewis for one game Tuesday and announced she would coach the team a day after 19 players were ejected followmg a brawl between Tennessee State and Eastern Kentucky. It's believed to be the ftrst time that a woman will coach male players in a major team sport. There ·.are plenty of men coaching women's college basketball teams . Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma has won three NCAA titles and two out of the last three. But the only women to ever serve as coaches for a men's Division I team were assistants: Mary Fenlon at Georgetown and Bernadette Locke at Kentucky. Phillips was not immediately available for cominent Tuesday. The Vanderbilt graduate coached the Tennessee State women to a 212-·189 record from 19892000. She took over a program that had been 2-25 and went 12-14 in her first season. The Tennessee State men are in an even worse state of affai~ than.. Phillips'· -ear!y teams. The Tigers are 2-20 and 0-11 in the Ohio Valley Conference and previously dealt with coaching turmoil this season. Nolan Richardson Ill, the son of former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson, resigned Jan. 8, two weeks after Phillips suspended him indefinitely for bringing a gun into the school's gym. Richardson admitted he got the gun out of his car during an argument with Lewis, who was then his assistant. Phillips hired Lewis as interim coach upon Richardson's resignation. Monday night's brawl broke out with 8:13 to play in the Tigers' 89-72 loss at Eastern Kentucky. Eastern's Shawn Fields had the ball when a hard foul was called on TSU's Cedric Bryson, prompting players from both benches to run onto the floor. Fields, Bryson and Eastern's Kenyatta Dix and Champ Slaughter were ejected for fighting, while nine players from both teams were ejected for leaving the bench. The rest of the. players who were in when the fight started also were ejected. The game resumed with only four players on each side; Tennessee State finished with three players after one fouled out. The conference is investigating the brawl, but Phillips didn't wait to take action. "Monday night's altercation is certainly not indicative of the outstanding athletic spirit of the OVC or Tennessee State University," Phillips said in a statement. "We look forward to completing our season on a positive note." IT-Network Systems Southern High School NASCAR • ... J~) ~-...- DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Jeff Burton jumped out of his car after the first big wreck of Speedweeks, then walked over to see if Elliott Sadler was OK. When Sadler also climbed out unscathed Tuesday, Burton angrily described the crash to Sadler with his hands, ramming them together to show how the two cars made contact. Also involved were Jack Sprague, Mike Skinner and Steve Park were able to drive their cars back to the garage, where many hours of repairs were waiting. "I don' I know what happened," Sadler said. "I just wish people would use their heads more." Ah, welcome to Daytona. With about five minutes left in Red men dominate Shawnee bec:ause Park kind of ran us out of room," Sprague said. "I'm pretty confident in the fact that I was where I needed to be," was · Park' s response. Either way, the end result was th~ same. Sprague veered sharply to the left, nudging Skinner's Pontiac in t~e right rear. That turned Skinner back across the track, and when he lost control, Sadler and Burton had nowhere to go. It's the second straight year Sadler and Burton will have to use backup cars in the Daytona 500. Both were involved in practice wrecks in 2002.

About 15 cars were running in a tight pack, running two- and three-wide for several laps. Skinner, who had just returned to the track, was a bit off the pace of the bottom, trying to blend in with the draft. Park and Sprague already were side-by-side, jockeying for position as they crossed the finish hne and approached Skinner.

"Takeo has a problem with the past," head coach Marvin Lewis said, after the Bengals disappointed the linebacker on Thesday by applying their transition tag to him. The first-round draft pick from 1998 has spent five seasons in Cincinnati, but has little to show for it. He has led the team in tackles four times, but has yet to have a winning record or a Pro Bowl appearance. He wanted the NFL's worst team to let him leave as a free agent, but may not get. his wish. By using their transition tag, the Bengals gave themselves the leverage to keep him for another season, They could still allow him to ~o, or they could keep him by matchmg any offer he gets from another team.

Jeff Fraley, who's been the biggest threat from the perimeter for the Bears this season with 82 3-point goals going into Thesday night, was held to eight points, including just one 3-pointer. Keeping those two shut down was a big difference. "They're probably not going to win very many games when those two get held to those numbers," said Thomas.

(AP) - Bob Ferguson thinks the odds are stacked against anyone trying to succeed in the NFL as a coach and general manager at the same time even Mike Holmgren. "I'm a little prejudiced obviously, but it's very difficult nowadays because of the demands you have contractually with the players if you're in that seat," said Ferguson, who was introduced Monday as the Seattle Seahawks' new GM. Holmgren relinquished his title as Seattle's general manager - a job he held for four seasons - on Dec. 31, but will remain as the Seahawks' coach. "Coaches have to make certain decisions on those contracts and it's really difficult for them to go out and make some decisions on those players as far as the team goes," Ferguson said. Holmgren, who has compiled a disappointing 31-33 record in four seasons with the Seahawks, did not attend the news conference. Team president Bob Whitsitt made the decision to hire Ferguson, who was ftred as general manager of the Arizona Cardinals after last season. It was unclear which man, . Holmgren or Ferguson, would have more clout with Whitsitt and Seahawks owner Paul Allen. But it's also clear there is pressure on Holmgren to get the Seahawks back to the playoffs and fill the team's new downtown st!ldium next season. The Seahawks have missed the playoffs three consecutive seasons. "I think he's going to be a great fit for the organization," Whitsitt said of the 51-yearold Ferguson, who is a native of Enumclaw in south King County and went to high school in Federal Way. ·"Bob's a very good personnel man," Whitsitt said. ,"If you can get a good personnel person in your organization, you get him. I like his experience." Whitsitt doesn' t expect there to be any problems between Ferguson and Holmgren, who has four seasons left on the $32 million, the eight-year contract Seahawks gave him to lure him away from Green Bay Bob Ferguson . talks about his new duties as the Seattle Seahawks new general manager at the Seahawks headquarters Monday in Kirkland, Wash, as Seawhawks' President Bob Whitsitt looks on.

(AP) - Dennis Erickson has been hired by the San Francisco 49ers to replace Steve Mariucci as coach, a team source said Tuesday. The Oregon State coach will be introduced this week, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Oregon State sports information department also said Erickson will join the 49ers. Mariucci, who was fired on Jan. 15, has taken the coaching job with the Detroit Lions. Erickson is · a surprising choice for San Francisco, which had concentrated its search on NFL defensive coaches during the 3 112 weeks since owner John York fired Mariucci. New York Jets defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell, Chicago defensive coordinator Greg Blache and San Francisco defensive coordinator Jim Mora interviewed for the job last week. Erickson coached the Seattle Seahawks from 199598, going 31-33. His greatest success has come in college, where he has turned four schools into winners. He went 31-17 in four seasons at Oregon State . Erickson won national titles · at the University of Miami in 1989 and 1991, going 63-9 over six seasons. He also has coached at Idaho and Washington State. Mariucci was fired despite leading the 49ers to four playoff appearances in six sea· sons, with a remarkably brief rebuilding period in between. York had a difference in philosophy with Mariucci , who led the 49ers to a I 0-6 record, the NFC West title and' a playoff victory over the New York Giants this past season. Erickson is just the 49ers' fourth coach since 1979, following Bill Walsh, George Seifert and Mariucci. Walsh and Seifert both won Super Bowls. Last week, Mariucci signed a five-year contract to coach the Lions. Bengals to play Jets, Titans, Lions and Colts in preseason games CINCINNATI (AP) Marvin Lewis' first game as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals will be at the New York Jets in the preseason opener in August The Bengals follow that at home against Tennessee on Aug . 16, at home against Detroit on Aug. 23 and end the preseason at Indianapolis. The dates and times of the two road games will be announced by the host teams. "We've been presented with a nice challenge," Lewis said. "We're playing three playoff teams, plus a team (Detroit) with a new coach (Steve Mariucci) who consistently h~d San Francisco in the playoffs. "Our defense will be facing some of the hottest quarterbacks from the end of last season, and there's a couple of top I0 defenses (Tennessee and Indianapolis) for our offense to face . It will be our job to be ready.'' This season, for the first time, the NFL is setting the preseason schedule, rather than having teams arrange their own matchups. Home teams set the time and date, and the Bengals have chosen 7:30 p.m. on Saturday for both home games. The Jets game would be sometime between Aug . 7-11, and the Colts game Aug. 2831.

'' books. David Sandstrum , director of ticket operations at Iowa, said the sc hool saves money by counting paid attendance rather than the number of people in the seats at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. "To actually count physical bodie s we would have to have a turnstile system, which is a signif= icant investment we chose not to make," Sandstrum said. · ' Penn State's box scores include paip attendance , but the school also keeps a separate count of people In the Bryce Jordan Center to determine the number of security and emergency medical personnel needed, said Randy Press, women's basketball sports information director. Even if a personal seat license holder at Ohio State doe sn't use the free women's basketball tickets, PSLs still impact atten~ dance. One-time perso nal se11t license charges at Value City Arena are divided into three groups - $4,000, $7,500 and $15,000. The two most expensive groups don't get women 's basketball tickets in their dea-ls because that could leave ioo many courtside seats vacant, said Bill Jones, the director of premium seating at OSU. "We don't want to give away seats down low when we know we're going to sell them.'' he said. A lot of them were sold Jan. 26, when Ohio State beat Iowa 74-59 before · a season-high 6,389 fans .

(Charlene Hoeflich) Valentine's Day: A big , event -through the years BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY - Valentines can express a from romantic to range of feelingsfriendly to something in between. And there are thousands out there from which to select just the right one for your significant other or your elderly mother. Just a visit to any card shop with their well-filled shelves is proof enough -of the popularity of Valentine's Day. Greeting card companies expect more than 950 million Valentines to be exchanged Jhis year, not just between lovers .as they were centuries ago, but by family and friends who want to show their affection for one another. Not all, however, will be sentimental and sweet, or even contemporary chic. Some will be humorous, poking fun at the sender, the recipient or love itself. There will even be a few which carry a bit of sarcasm or a slight insult- a more subtle version of the "vinegar" valentines. the "rudes and crudes" and the "penny dreadfuls" of a century ago. Most, however, will convey a message of "looking at the world tbrou!lh the eyes of love," expressed through a pnnted verse in a beautiful card decorated with "bits of ribbon, bits of lace, hearts and flowers all in place." While it may be the "thought that counts" when senc\ing most holiday cards, for Valentines it's the verse. No old rhymes like "roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you", but real words of affection like "we've been together all this time, and still I hope you know, your love has meant much more to me, than I could ever show." The exact origin of Valentine's Day is still somewhat in question, but perhaps the most popular version gives credit to a young priest · behind bars in Rome in 270 A. D. The story goes that the young man was beheaded tor refusing to honor a pagan god but not before he fell in love with the jailer's blind daughter, healed her, and sent her a message signed "From your Valentine." His name was Valentinus. A less known legend about Valentine' s Day dates back to the ancient Roman festival known as the Feast of Lupercalia. Celebrated on Feb. 14, the day that birds were thought to mate, the feast honored the pagan god Lupercus. The celebration included a "love lottery" in which young maidens would write their names on fancy cards and place them in a large urn in the public square. The unmarried men would each in turn select a woman's card from the urn and would then court her for a year. It doesn't really matter which version of the origin of Valentine's Day is true. What does matter is that Valentine's Day provides a wonderful opportunity to express feelings of affection, to show appreciation for support from family, to renew and culti vale friendships, to connect with others. And all it takes is a Valentine card. POMEROY - The Ohio Department of Transportation continues to review bids for construction of the new Pomeroy/Mason Bridge, but a department spokesman said Wednesday the bridge contract will likely be awarded before the end of the month. Last month, ODOT named C.J. Mahan CoHstruction Co., Grove City, and National Engineering and Contracting Co., Stron~sville, the apparent low btdders for the project. But, they said a bid will not be awarded until a thorough review of the bids and specifications is completed. Stephanie Filson, public information officer for ODOT's District ·10 at Marietta, said Wednesday the bids are still under rev1ew. "I don't think the department will wait until the first of March to award the bid," Filson said. "I think a bid will be awarded before the end of this month." The firms' base bid of $45.8 million is $3 million less than ODOT engineers predicted. ODOT's original bid date was Dec. 6, but the depaJ1ment determined through the pre-bid process that it would be beneficial to the highway department and potential coytractors to postpone that d:te until January. Once a bid is awarded, construction on the cablestay span could begin as soon as warm weather arrives, Filson said. The new bridge is similar in design to the 13th Street Brid~e in Huntington, W.Va. It wtll be built just down river from the existing bridge. ' Gallia County man~ faces attempted murder charge Bv TONY M.
