A few weeks ago, we gave his parents our house key so they could let a plumber in to fix a water leak. Without asking, they copied our house key for themselves. Although we didn't like it, my husband did not make a big thing out of it. Yesterday, when we returned home from work, it was apparent that someone had been in our bedroom. The computer was left on. We have learned my husband's parents gave our key to my husband 's brother, "Joe," who used our computer to go online to access pornographic sites. My husband has expressed his "disappointment" to all of them - but I am livid. I feel violated, Abby. What should I do? - OUTRAGED IN OHIO DEAR OUTRAGED: Change the locks on your doors and change the password on your computer. And next time your faucet leaks, ask someone else to let the plumber in. DEAR ABBY: While driving home from school with my 13- year-old daughter and her best friend, "Cammy," in the car, Cammy suddenly .burst into tears and said, "I Dear Abby ADVICE feel like killing myself." The minute we got home I held separate, private conversations with my daft@hter and her friend . It seems Cammy fells neglected by her parents (they are divorced with shared custody), and she's upset because they both abuse alcohol. Cammy said she has tried to talk to her mom and dad about her feelings, but they "just yell at her." Abby, I know this family very well. I find it hard to beheve that things are as bad as Cammy says. However, a child crying out - either for help or attention - deserves both. How should I handle this? - CONCERNED IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS DEAR CONCERNED: Let Cammy know she is always welcome to come to you at any time . Then, in a nonaccusatory way, let her parents know that Cammy is seriously depressed, and needs them now more than ever. The face that a family presents publicly can be very different from the dynamics going on in private. Whether or not they drink too much, Cammy is feeling emotionally isolated, and that can be considered a form of child abuse. Alateen might be helpful for her.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are separated. During the holidays, he had our 17year-old son with him, and they went out of town for the weekend with a 15-year-old girl. Abby, the ~irl's mother had never met either of us until my husband picked up her daughter and chatted with the woman for a few minutes. I am appalled! What kind of mother would allow her teenage daughter to go away for the weekend with a boy and his father for three nights? READER IN PORTLAND, ORE. DEAR READER: A mother who needs her head examined.

No. 1 Winter storm warning for tri-county area BY ANDREW CARTER News editor Emergency officials in Gallia and Meigs counties declared a Level II snow emergency Saturday following ·another dumping of frozen precipita" tion on the region late Friday night and Saturday. According to reports from local emergency officials in the tri-county area, anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of snow and sleet fell Friday night with outlying areas possibly receiving greater amounts. The National Weather Service has issued a wint~r storm warning for Gallia, Mason and Meigs counties. The warning is in effect until Monday morning. Weather service officials said driving conditions could become hazardous with the possible accumulation of snow and/or ice in the area and urge residents to use caution when traveling under such conditions. The system that dumped snow on the tri-county was much more severe in areas north of the Ohio River. Western and central Ohio residents awoke to a dumping of 4 to 7 inches of snow. At least six inches of snow fell in Athens County Friday night, prompting officials there to issue a Level II emergency. Similar emergencies were issued in surrounding counties. Weather service officials in West Virginia say the Mountain State is facing its worst weather of the season with what's being called "major snowfall" expected in northern counties, while flooding is in the forecast for the southern part of the state. "This is, by far, the biggest of the season and potentially very much more hazardous," said John Victory, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Charleston. He said 18 to 30 inches of snow could fall in the northern mountains near Elkins by Sunday evening. Other northern areas could see 6 to 14 inches. A flood watch was in effect for most of southern West Virginia on Saturday, including McDowell County, which was hit hard by floods in 2001 and 2002. Officials expec1 weather to clear up by Monday. . • NWS is reporting that as much l}s six inches of frozen precipitatiot! could fall in the region by Sunday evening with more possible Sunday night.

Reed) Old Racine school lives on in 'Teddy Tornado' BY CHARLENE HOEFUCH News editor a RACINE, Ohio Everybody wants a little bit of history of their school and the "Teddy Tornadoes" being made from the sta e . g curta1~s taken from ~he demolished Sut~on-Racme ~tgh School gives them JUStthat. . Befo~e the_auction of the furmshmgs m the school a month or so ago,. Mickey Kucsma, Sout~ern Elementary School pnnc1pal , an alumm and later teach_er at th~ school, came up wtth the Idea of maktng mementos from the stage curtains. She contacted some community volunteers she thought might' be interested in working on the project, and it was no time at all until they had removed the velveteen curtains from the stage rail, and were in the process of getting the material ready to .sew. Since the curtains had hung there for many years, the first thmg they had to " do was wash them. When cut, the material frayed so badly that the volunteers brought out their sewing machines and did a zigzag stitch around the edges before Jaundering the pieces. Kucsma, describing herself as a "sentimental slob," said she already had in mind what was going to be made from the material. She put Alice Wolfe in charge of the project and dedicated a classroom for use by the volunteers in carrying out the project. Wolfe designed a pattern to be used in creating primitive bears from the purple and gold velveteen and about 25 volunteers came out to help with the project of creating Teddy Tornado. They worked three days last week, one day this week, and need another day to fini sh the project. The principal estimates that the volunteers will have put in over 300 hours when the project is finished. The goal is to make 234 bears. Most will be purple velveteen with gold neck ribbons and a gold heart attached. A few will be of the gold velveteen with purple accessories . Each one will have a tag with a little bit of school history Please see Teddy, AS Teddy Tornado bears are in the making at Southern Elementary School from the stage curtains of the old Sutton-Racine High School. About 25 volunteers are involved in creating the primitive bears from the purple and gold velveteen.

TODAY IN HISTORY Local Briefs City Commission meeting set Ohio Valley Publishing Co. • The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind., on welfare reform: Forget the idea that we've seen the end of welfare as we know it. The president's latest proposal undermines rather than improves on efforts to overhaul public assistance. The 1996 welfare reform law rested heavily on programs designed to remove obstacles that kept the poor from leaving welfare for work. But President Bush announced a plan last month that clearly kicks the legs ·out from under those struggling to replace government assistance with a paycheck. In freezing financing for the next five years- with no adjustment for inflation - the federal government will effectively cut support for child care and job training, leaving more low-income Americans without a job or a safety net. If Congress can afford $670 billion in tax cuts heavily favoring the wealthiest households, it can't af[ord not to approve a welfare reauthorization bill that doesn't stop reform dead in its tracks.

Going ·to whatever lengths to ensure ,our survival I' m old enough - I reluctantly admit - to remember the days that when if an alarm went' off in elementary school, it was not a fire drill . where we all marched single-file outside. Instead, we dove under our desks or leaned face first into our hallway lockers with our arms around our heads. Those were the days of the Cold War; the days when the threat of nuclear war actually loomed. When people were building bomb shelters to protect them from the devastating effects of radioactive fallout. Of course, the so~called bomb shelters could only hold enough food and water for a few weeks, and radiation can contaminate the atmosphere for decades, but, what the heck. It was a minor detail when faced with 'the threat of being incinerated, or a long, agonizing death caused by radiation poisoning. I was reminded of those days this week when hardware stores across the country reported jumps in duct tape and plastic wrap sales with the threat of a terrorist attack using biological weaponry. TV news reported a couple of days ago that there is Bette Pearce actually some man somewhere (I didn't catch the location) who was wrapping his entire house in plastic . I asked myself, if plastic wrap didn't keep my leftovers in ·the refrigerator from turning green and fuzzy, how niu~h .Protection could it possibly offer against an airborne virus? I'm not sure what this guy's plan is after he sucks up all the oxygen in his house, but, again, a minor detail. Quite honestly, I'd rather face a nuclear bomb than a germ, or virus - the differences of which I could never quite grasp. At least if an Abomb hits, you'd probably never know it. Po of!

After all, we're only human. (Bette Pearce is managing editor of Ohio Valley Publishing Co.) All you want to know about socks, but cifraid to ask I have here a shocking letter from a person named "Julia," who openly admits to being a woman. It concerns laundry. As you men know, laundry is a key area in which we have long enjoyed a tactical advantage over women, thanks to the fact that, through a combination of genetics, evolution, instinct and plain old good fortune, we are pigs. A man can live happily in a confined space with a mass of unwashed garments so funky that his shirts wrap their sleeves around his ankles as he walks past, hoping he will drag them to a laundromat; and his undershorts, which have developed primitive bacterial feet, crawl around and arrange themselves on the floor to form the words FOR GOD'S SAKE WASH US. Every year, thousands of pedestrians collapse while walking past male-occupied college dormitories, overcome by sock fumes. So in most relationships, women wind up doing the laundry. To com pensate, we men assume full respon sibility for more masculine, but equally necessary, ho,usehold tasks, such as making sure that the TV channel is changed regularly. Unfortunately, the traditi onal division of labor is now . threatened by this avowed woman, Julia. In her letter, she reveals that she has developed a shocki ng tactic - a tactic that threatens to undermine the very fabric that underlies the foundation for the infrastructure of our way of life as we know it in terms of metaphors. This tactic is so di sg ustin g that , to prevent young readers from being exposed to it, I am going to use a secret code to tell you how "Julia" gets her husband to do laundry: She uses S-E-X. Dave Barry "I tell him it gets me hot," she writes . "EverY. time I need laundry done, I put my arms around him and tell him how excited I get just watching him. I tell him if he folds it and puts it away, I am beside myself. I make love to him right by the washing machine . I have found that he folds laundry better than I do." Men, we must ask ourselves: What if other women start using their wiles this way? Would it work? Are we, as a gender, so easily manipulated , so mindlessly lust-crazed? We most certainly are. A man will do pretty much any idiot thing if he thinks it gives him a shot at a woman's wiles. I am not proud of thi s, but once , in my younger days. at a party, 1 leaped, fully clothed, from a house roof into a swimming pool that was not really all that close to the house, riskin g serious injury or death~ because I truly believed that a specific woman at the party would be impressed and therefore want to bear my child'ren .

PLEASANT VALLEY HOSPITAL ' �. .. . -. . -· . . . Sunday, February 16, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, • Point Pleasant Times-Sentinel correspondent POMEROY, Ohio - A management plan to identify sources . of water-quality problems and help develop strategies to improve and maintain water quality in Leading Creek the Watershed will be developed by Cynthia Bauers, new Leading Creek Watershed coordinator for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District. A watershed is the land area that drains or seeps rain and snowmelt into a creek, river or other body of water. Bauers will write two plans intended to improve water quality of the Leading Creek and its tributaries: a comprehensive management plan and an acid mine drainage and abatement (AMDAT) plan, specifically addressing streams affected by coal mine drainage. She will make recommendations to improve water quality in those streams. "The planning process will be dtrected by the concerns of residents living in the watershed and by watershed monitoring," Bauers said. · "Input from watershed residents will be crucial in helping us identify and prioritize problem areas and develop solutions to overcome these problems." Throughout the planning process, watershed residents will be encouraged to participate in public meetmgs and activities, fill out questionnaires, and help develop goals for the conservation of restoration of the streams, she said. "If you are concerned about water quality issues like acid mine drainage, litter in the streams and erosion problems in the Leading Creek watershed, or just wan! to learn more about the development of the management plan, there will be an upcoming public meeting somewhere close to where you live," Bauers · said. The first meeting will be held Feb. 27 at 6:30p.m. at the Rutland Fire Station. The public is encouraged to attend. Leading Creek The watershed consists of slightly more than 150 square miles and comprises most of the western half of Meigs County and small portions of Athens and Gallia counties. Leading Creek drains land stretching from the Ohio University Airport in Athens County and U.S. 32 in western Meigs County, to the Meigs County Fairgrounds and the lower end of Middleport where the creek empties into the Ohio River. Approximately 12,400 c Watershed coordinator hired by MSWCD Staff report POMEROY, Ohio - The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District, in partnership with several state agencies, recently hired Cynthia Bauers as Leading Creek Watershed Coordinator. She will be responsible for organizing watershed planning, educatin\l residents on watershed pnnciples, and carrying out strategies to restore and protect streams in the Leading Creek watershed . In 1985 ;' a 26-county assessment of mining related impacts was conducted in 30 Ohio watersheds. This survey ranked Leading Creek as fol- lows: first in total erosion and erosion rate; first in total sediment damage and acreage of deposition; third in total loss of useful land; tenth in the chemical impact to the stream; eighth m the physical impact to the stream. Bauers will direct and write two plans intended to improve the water quality of Leading Creek and its tributaries: a comprehensive management plan and an acid · mine drainage and abatement (AMDAT) plan. Bauers is a 1998 graduate of Southern High School and has a bachelor's degree in wildlife biology from Ohio University. She is currently completing her master's degree in environmental studies at OU.

In addition, Middleport, Pomeroy, Albany (in Athens County) and Pageville are all partially located within the watershed. The Leading Creek Watershed Coordinator's position was made possible through a grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division t' Soil and Water Com.ervatiun in partnership with the Division of Mineral Resource Management and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The Meigs SWCD has already been active in the Leading Creek watershed working with landowners on the Leading Creek Improvement Program, a separate program which is funded with money obtained from a settlement between American Electric Power and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The settlement stems from the 1993 pumping of a flooded coal mine into the stream which killed practically all aquatic life downstream of the discharge point. Although Bauers' plans and strategies will be designed to benefit the entire watershed, the Leading Creek Improvement Program excludes the portion of the watershed drained by Thomas Fork. So far, funding from the program has been used on four conservation projects comprising nearly 57 acres of streamside property, LCIP coordinator Jim Freeman noted. In addition, 50 acres of streamside woodland and grassland are under contract to be planted this spring under varipus conservation programs. Planning is also underway to reclaim areas of strip mining that continue to affect Leading Creek, he added. · The district also purchased a John Deere no-till drill and a Forester tree planter. Numerous farmers and landowners in the Leading Creek watershed are utilizing the John Deere no-till drill, also purchased with Leading Creek funds, to encourage conservationfriendly agriculture. No-till agriculture greatly reduces the amount of topsoil erosion when compared to traditional plowing and planting practices. Almost a thousand acres have been planted with the no-till drill since 2000, and ·approximately 15,000 trees have been planted using the tree planter. iunbap lime• ·itntintl College basketball, Page 82 NASCAR weekend, Page B4 Outdoors, Page B5 MaJor League Ba.seball notes, Page 86 Broker ordered to use Soil and Water home equity to pay District tackles back money she stole stream water quality BY JIM FREEMAN Inside: Michigan thumps OSU Big Blacks grab second place in SEOAL ANN ARBOR, Mich.

I feel I can be ~ood at it, not just plug a hole. ' Bob Boone was a catcher. Bret developed into one of the majors ' top second basemen during h1s five seasons ill Cincinnati, so he was the natural one to turn to for actvice. Bret set a major league record for second basemen by committing only two errors with the Reds in 1997. :lSJunbav lrimrs ·:lSlrntinrl • Page 83 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant .Prep Scoreboard College basketball NASCAR Sunday, February 16,2003 third victory in his last four Busch starts. He was the series champion in 1998 and 1998 before moving up to the Winston Cup series. It also was his first win as a team owner with his stepmother Teresa. The team was formed over the winter. With the late crash shaking up the. top I0, Mike Wallace wound up fourth, followed by Jamie McMurray, Bodine, Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Kasey Kahne. Greet\ was subbing for polewinner Joe Nemechek, who sat out the race with the flu. Harvick passed him on the start and Green never led. Green's race ·ended when Scott Riggs bumped him from behind and sent his car spinning into the wall. Michael Waltrip, who won this race last year, also was a victim of someone else's mistake. Vasser, riding at the top of a three-wide draft, bounced off the wall and hit Randy Lajoie, who slammed into Waltrip and sent him hard into the wall. Stacy Compton had the most spectacular crash of the day. He banged the outside wall coming off tum four and the en~ine compartment and unders1de of his car burst into flame. The fire continued to roar and the smoke bellow out until Compton got the car stopped in the infield grass nearly halfway down the back straightaway. All the drivers except Keller were checked and refeased in the infield medical center. Keller was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital to be checked for a possible concussion. He won the Gold Glove a year later, then was traded to Atlanta. He .spent one year with the Braves, was traded to San Diego, then signed with Seattle as a free agent. Before joining the Mariners for spring training in Arizona, Bret spent three days tutoring his younger brother at the Reds' complex. "I told my dad to just throw him out there at second base every day during sprin$ training and see," Bret srud. "In three days, he is better than I thought he would be at this point. . "Of course, it is easy ri~ht now. You aren't at the pomt where it is the ninth inning of a major league game and you have to turn a big double play with a guy trying not onfy to take you out of the play, but kill you. All that comes with experience." Aaron, who is 6-foot-2, also worked out for one day in the offseason with former mejor league second baseman Bobb,Y Grieb, "because he was a btg guy playing second base and I wanted that perspective." Bret was surprised at how quickly. ~is brother adapted to the pos1tton. "When I first heard about it, I said, 'No chance,"' Bret said. "But I could see right off that he has a good attitude about it. He is a tough kid and he handles things well." arch14 DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS •••• • Hardware • Furniture • Appliances • Paint • Carpet • Electrical • Construction • Wallpaper . • Plumbing • Banks •Insurance • And More ...

Racing agai n after missing the final seven events last year with a fractured vertebra. there's not a whole lot that can get Marlin out of the car again. "We don't kid Sterling too much about getting out of the car to .fix the fender anymore," crew chief Lee McCall said. " It was funny for a while, but after he got hurt and couldn' t drive anymore, we stopped talking about stuff like that." Last year was a season of near misses for Marlin . He was in prime position for his third Daytona 500 victory, lead ing late in the race, only to make contact with Jeff Gordon and crumple the fender on his No. 40 Dodge. The sheet metal certainly would have blown out his tire if not pulled back, so Marlin jumped out of the car during a red-flag stop to repair it. NASCAR penalized him for playing mechanic and what seemed like certain victory was gone. He always had a good laugh over it, even though fans at first thought he had foolishly give n the race away. ''What was NASCAR going to do ? Put you in jaiP We knew we were going to .have to pit anyway, so we thought we ' d ju st try to call their bluff and get out there and try to pull it off and get back in the car," he said. Marlin rebounded the next two weeks, finishing second at Rockingham and winning in Las Vegas to emerge as the top driver in the series. He led the points for 25 consecuti ve weeks, and after years and years of driving for midlevel teams, the 45-year-old Marlin was making a run at his first Winston Cup title. One hard hit took it all away. When he crashed his car into the wall at Kan sas on Sept. 29. he cracked avertebra in his neck. Even tou~h it didn' t hurt - he was out workmg on his Tennessee farm the very next day - Xrays showed the break and doctors ended his season. It was a crushing blow for his Chip Ganassi Racing crew, which had worked so hard to put the team on the cusp of a championship in less than two years. Only Marlin's "aw-shucks" attitude and good nature kept them going. In a time when the driver spends little time · at the shop and sees the crew mostly at the race track, Marlin remains true to old-school days of being part of the · gang. The crew worked hard on the cars, he worked hard on healing and no one dW.elled on the mi sfortune of last season. "If you can ' t have a good time, you might as well stay home," he said. " I feel real good, the guys are glad to be DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. _ As a crew chief, Kirk Shelmerdine was king of the Winston Cup garage, NASCAR Winston Cup Series drivers Ricky Craven, left, and Sterling Marlin chat between practice runs Feb . 8 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Aa. (AP) back, they' ve got a lot of good cars built up and we' re ready to make another run it." Now the No. 40 Dodge is back at Daytona with its pilot back behind the wheel. His car has been strong all week - he was ninth fastest in the first quaJifying session and the car was stout in drafting practices - and he's considered one of the dark horses to win the event on Sunday. "I think we're showing that we picked up where we left off in Kansas,' team manager Tony Glover said. "We worked hard all winter to make sure Sterling can come right back and make another run at this." There's no denying this is the best team Marlin has ever been with, and he's determined to get the most out of it. In his first 18 years of full-time Winston Cup racing, he rarely sniffed the Top 10 in points. He didn ' t win his first race until 1994 and had just six victories when Chip Ganassi bought into Felix Sabates' team and kept Marlin on as the driver. . Marlin has won four races since then, tied his career-best finish of third in the standings last season and proved he was one of the best in 2002. " It took me a long time to get the best equipment I've ever had to get in a drive," he said. "When I came along there were fiv e to eight good rides and you had 20 drivers looking for cars. It just took so long to get a good ride." So Marlin has no intention of getting out of it again any time soon. Retirement is not in his vocabulary and injuries are in the past. · "I was bored to death last year when I had to sit out," he said, "I just didn ' t know what to do with myself. I am not tired of racing and I am not even thinking about quitting . I am having too good of a time." State seeks.hunter education instructors • lap of 180.668 mph.

I've also noticed that it isn't J·ust for boys and kids; a good percentage of students in hunter education are girls and moms, or older adults wanting to hunt out-of-state who need to take a hunter education class. Although first-time hunters in Ohio have to take the 10-hour hunter education course to buy their first huntinf license, the classes are free and a1 materials are provided. The problem is that there just aren't very many instructors around, and classes are ontr. offered a few times a year, so don t wait until the week before 'deer gun season to find a class. To become certified to teach hunter education in Ohio, you must be at least 21 years of age, attend a volunteer instructor-training academy and pass a criminal background check.

(AP) - Steve Skeens and his father Carl have one thing in common that keeps them close, and probably always will. They 'both love fishing and have become experts at catching big fish. · Recentlr. both men found what they had been chasmg for years - a couple of monsters from the deep. • Steve's catch was a state-record walleye weighing 17.82 pounds and measuring 32 inches. It outweighed a fish many anglers didn't think could be beaten - the 17 .22-pound, 33inch Gauley River weight-record walleye .caught by Billy Ray of St Albans in 1990. Carl Skeens netted that world-class walleye for Ray, who was fishing with Skeens the day he caught the trophy. Just a few days after Steve Skeens broke the walleye record, 70-year-old Carl Skeens landed his most memorable trophy- a 35 1/2-pound, 49-inch muskie. Both huge catches came from public land at a scenic spot considered one of the most.beautiful places in West Vtrginia. Kanawha Falls has a reputation for producin¥ more recordclass fish than any other place m the state, and it's produced a lot of big fish for Steve and Carl over the decades. Ask Steve today how good the fishing is and he'll tell you it's the best anywhere. "There are plenty of big fish here to be caught," he said, echoing what his father said in an interview more than a decade ago. "There are state-record fish, world-record .fish out there," Carl Skeens said back in 1990, the year Ray's Gauley River ftSh established the mark that has been set aside by Steve Skeens' catch.

Soak in some of the sights. Relax on the road. But once Wedge got behind the wheel last weekend, it was Winter Haven or bust. Other than stopping to refuel his SUV or his .stomach, the Cleveland Indians' first-year manager floored it - all the way to Florida. "I got on a roll and didn't want to stop," Wedge said from his office at Chain 0' Lakes Park. And on Monday morning, days before Cleveland's pitchers and catchers were due to report, Wedge was in uniform at his desk ready to greet his players. "I'm ready to get on the field, man," he said. For the first time in nearly a decade, the Indians are heading into spring training unsure of what their starting hneup will look like on opening day. The 35-year old Wedge - baseball's youngest manager - will try to get the Indians back into contention after one of the AL's perennial powers slipped to 74-88 and third-place in the Central Division last season. "We've got a lot of questions," Wedge said. "Now it's time to start getting some answers." Cleveland's pitchers and catchers reported Friday and will have their first workout on Sunday. Position players are due in camp next Wednesday and will have their first fullsquad practice on Feb. 21. The Indians will open their exhibition season on Feb. 28 with a pair of split-squad games. "This is going to be a lot of fun," said Wedge, who managed Cleveland's Triple-A Buffalo affiliate the past two seasons before getting the Indians' JOb in October. "! can't wait to get start.ed." The Indians are entering their first full season since being dismantled by general manager Mark Shapiro, who has traded Roberto Alomar, Bartolo Colon and a few other veterans as part of the club's rebuilding process. Shapiro thinks the Indians can be a contender by 2005. That's not soon enough for Wedge. "We're done rebuilding," said Wedge. "I'm not going to use rebuilding as an excuse. It's time for us to establish ourselves as a ballclub. It's time to get this thing going." There will be competition at nearly every position this spring. But not at shortstop where Omar Vizquel will go after another Gold Glove and try to duplicate his offensive output - careerhighs in homers (14) and RBis (74)- of a year ago. Josh Bard inherited the starting catcher's job when Shapiro traded Einar Diaz to Texas, and the 24-year-old switch-hitter will be behind the plate until Victor Martinez moves him aside. Travis Hafner, acquired in the Diaz deal, will compete with Ben Broussard at first, a spot vacated when Jim Thome signed as a free agent in Philadelphia. · John McDonald and Brandon Phillips will fight to be the starter at second. McDonald batted a respectable .250 last season, but Phillips is a ~otential superstar, who if he hits well this spnng, could make the 25-man roster. " . "We don't want to rush things with Brandon or any of our young players," Wedge said. "That doesn't mean they can't win jobs, though ." Casey Blake appears to be the front-runner at third, but Bill Selby and Greg LaRocca will get a shot. Ricky Gutitorrez is coming off major neck surgery and can't be counted on yet. Matt Lawton, Milton Bradley and Karim Garcia will likely break camp as the starting outfield with speedy Coco Crisp battling Bradley to play center and bat leadoff. Wedge is blessed with a talented group of young pitchers. Now he has 10 figure out which ones are ready. C.C. Sabathia, Jason Bere and Brian Anderson are the only certainties in the rotation, with the two other spots coming from a group of six - including pre-camp favorites " Ricardo Rodriguez and Jason Davis. Left-bander Cliff Lee had two strong September starts la st season and should make the squad. Danys Baez is now the closer, but that's one of the few things known about an overhauled bullpen. Wedge will have plenty of arms to choose from, however. "We've got some big decisions to make. No doubt," Wedge said. "We need to make good ones with our younger players." Wilson, 30, was on his way to stardom before injuries derailed him. The New York Mets made Wilson the first pick overall in the 1994 draft. A year later, Wilson had a combined 11-6 record with a 2.41 ERA at Double- and Triple-A. In 1996, he made the Mets' rotation out of spring training and went 5-12 with a 5.38 ERA. That's when shoulder problems surfaced. Wilson spent five weeks on the disabled list and had shoulder surgery after the 1996 season. He was limited to five rehab starts in 1997 and continued to struggle with the shoulder in 1998. In 1999, Wilson underwent surgery on his elbow. In 2000, the Mets traded him to Tampa Bay, where he was 15-25 with a 4.35 ERA m three years. The Reds were impressed that he pitched 193 2-3 innings last year. "After all the injuries, he's proven very durable," Boone sa1d. "He has command all over the strike zone. He has decent stuff. And he has a very high ceiling." That's code for lots of potential. After what Wilson has been through, he doesn't worry about putting up numbers . "I just want to do what I can to help the team win," he said. "If you make all your starts, the · numbers .will take care of them- · selves." Wilson was at Ed Smith Complex on Thursday, getting in some work on the day pitchers and catchers reported. Friday was devoted to physicals; with the first workout set for Saturday. Sunday, February 16, 2003 • r1 Program provides advantages for youth .15'/• ga.

(AP) - Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Scott Sauerbeck's left shoulder is healthy heading into spring training. One month a~o. he dido 't know if he could make that claun. Sauerbeck, a 3l·year-old left-bander, experienced shoulder discomfort in the winter and didn't begin throwing off a mound until minicamp in mid-January. That raised guestions about Sauerbeck's health entering spnng training, which begins Saturday with the first workout for the Pirates' pitchers and catchers. But Sauerbeck threw 35 pitches Friday afternoon while working out on his own, and will throw again Stmday. "I don't have any P.ain and ll!at's good," Sauerbeck said. "I don t know if I'm throwing well, but I'm not throwin~ with any pain." Sauerbeck may have pmd the price for making 78 appearances last season, a club record for games pitched by a left-bander. "When I started playing catch in midNovember, my shoulder was more stiff than normal," he said. Doctors diagnosed Sauerbeck with weakness in his rotator cuff. Sauerbeck spent the next two months in a physical therapy clinic and away from the pitching mound. "I was on a table for two hours every day," he said. "I never did arm exercises a day in my life. I just went out there and threw. I'm lucky they caught it before anything serious happened." It remains 10 be seen whether Sauerbeck will be able to carry a heavy workload this spring. Last spring, he pitched the same amount of innings as a starter to build up his stamina. The result was arguably the best of Sa· tibeck's four major-lea~ue seasons. He waM with a 2.30 ERA while striking out 70 batters in 62.~ innings. He led all National League left-banders in appearances and had the second-most strikeouts of any left-handed reliever. This spring, because of his injury and all the pitchers competing for jobs, Sauerbeck wonders if he will be able to duplicate his workload. -- -, ---- - Cook of the Week, Page C2 Celebrations, Page C5 Page Cl Reds counting ·on newcomer Paul Wilson for starting rotation· SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - The newest member of the Cincinnati Reds' starting rotation lost twice as many games as he won last year, but manager Bob Boone says records can be deceiving. "We were lucky to get him," Boone said of right-hander Paul Wilson. "A lot of clubs were interested. They were ticked when we signed him. I heard that from a lot of baseball people I know." The Reds and others saw something beyond Wilson's numbers- he was 6-12 with a 4.83 ERA for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Boone saw stability. "You try to eliminate as many 'ifs' as possible," Boone said. "The difference between looking for one starter instead of two is gigantic." The Reds expect Wilson to be in the rotation with Jimmy Haynes, Danny Graves and Ryan Dempster. They were able to sign him by back-loadin¥ much of his salary. He will make $500,000 th1s year and $3.5 million in 2004. Beyond the money, Wilson found the Reds a good fit. "They've got a great young ballclub," Wilson said. "From the .short time I've been here, I've met a lot of good guys. They're also going into a brand-new ballpark. That's something I've never experienced." And there's the Gullett factor. Pitchers looking to tum things around often jump at the chance to work with Reds pitching coach Don Gullett. "That's a big reason," Wilson said. ''I'v~ heard he's one of the best in the business. I really look forward to working with him."

Hamm won t admit that she is a good cook, but good friends, Virginia Sanders and Jean Roush said that she is just being modest. Sanders and Roush both recommended their friend for Cook of the Week, extolling her cooking skills. Hamm said that she had so many people asking her for recipes that she decided to compile them into a cookbook. In 1999, she had 100 copies printed. She gave them away to family and friends, and eventually sold them after people start asking to buy· them. She sold out long ago ·and has just one copy left that she uses for herself. "I had a jumble of recipes everywhere before I published my cookbook. Now I have them all together," said Hamm. . Hamm said that most of the recipes were her own originals, but she had collected some from family and friends, .as well. . "My book is more than a c90kbook. It hasfamily history, scriptures and little lessons on how to make you a Christian," said better Hamm. Hamm said that she never used a recipe until about four years after she got married. "I learned how to cook watching my mother and my grandmother. I made bread, pies- everything- without a recipe," said Hamm. Hamm said that she was very young when she began to cook. "I had to stand on a chair to reach the stove when I ftrSt began. I had my own little roaster that I woul(l cook chicken legs in and little pie and cake pans. I even made my own httle biscuits," said ijamm. Hamm said that she relJlembers making two pies when her mom was gone one day. "I made a cherry pie and put meringue on top and made an apple pie and glazed it like donuts. They tasted pretty good," said Hamm. Others_noticed her cooking skills at an early age, too. "When I was 17, I worked in a restaurant. One day when the baker quit, they asked me to bake for them, after finding out that I knew how. I ended up baking for them all summer until they were able to find a new baker. I made 20 pies and a large sheet cake every morning," said Hamm. Coming from a big family, Hamm learned to cook in large quantities, and even though only she and her husband are at home now, Hamm still cooks large quantities. "I learned to cook for a large family. There were five children, two l'arents and two grandparents m our house. I sti ll cook a lot, but now I freeze part of it and have it at another meal," said Hamm. Hamm said that she also cans and freezes most of the produce from the garden that her husband puts out each year. She "puts up" com, green beans, tomato juice, pickles, relish, greens, chili, spaghetti sauce, soup and apples, among other thmgs. Lentil soup with porcini mushrooms NEW YORK (AP) Dried porcini mushrooms add intense, earthy flavor to this easy low-fat lentil soup that's hearty and nutritious . enough for a main dish. Food writer Judith Barrett says she likes to use small, green French lentils for it, because they give the soup an interesting texture. However, "the larger brown lentils work just as well," she writes in the winter 2003 issue of Eating Well magazine, in her feature on homemade soups. Small lentils tend to cook more quickly, so the timing will depend on which lentils you choose, she points out. Barrett, author of "Saved By Soup" (Morrow, 1999), is clearly a soup fan. Making soup helped her get through a kitchen renova: tion, she recalls, but whatever condition your kitchen's in, "soups make for some of the easiest, most enjoyable of winter meals." The lentil soup may be made ahead of time: 11 will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to two days or in the freezer for up to three months. Reheat on the stovetop, adding enough broth or water to achieve desired consistency.

I would'guess somewhere between 150-200 quarts," said Hamm. Hamm said that breads and desserts are her favorites to make. "I make bread ·several times a week and I made a three-tiered fancy cake with roses and beads on it for my husband's and my 50th wedding · anniversary," said Hamm. Hamm said that she cooks so much that she has worn out her stove. "I love my stove, but its over 30 years old. I guess it's time to replace it," said Hamm. Hamm said that she has no plans to make more copies of her cookbook. She is afraid that she will be stuck with the leftover copies. But she said that she has thought about writing a new one. A few years back, she wrote to cooks all over West Vrrginia to get their favorite recipes and then wrote a short story about each one. "I guess if I could find someone to type it, I might consider making it into a new cookbook. I think people might like it," said Hamm.

" Are you beginning to get just a touch of "cabin fever" because of staying in during the cold weather? Have you ever considered moving to a small island? In "The Lobster Chronicles: Life on a Very Small Island," Linda Greenlaw moves back to her parents' home on Isle Au Haul, off the coast of Maine near Bar Harbor. Ms. Greenlaw makes no bones about wanting to settle down, get married and have a family, and stay on the island. There are only about forty permanent restdents (those who spend the winter on the island). There are three single men - two of them gay, and the third one is her cousin. Nearly everyone on the island is a lobsterman, doing the backbreaking and tiresome work of setting the traps, checking them every day, keeping boats and equipment in good condition. This particular year the lobsters are few and tile frustration is great. The author's father helps as her stemman, though she hires a gorgeous hunk she calls "Stem-Fabio." He proves to be totally unreliable, even "borrows" her truck] Greenlaw explains the politics of the island, the bickering and sometimes heated arguments about fighting the outside world for their fishing territory. She truly loves the place and describes it with tender care and admiration. There is only a single store, which d cabin fever: ' this novel is endearing and believabil Alice .is practically a newlywed when her husband goes off to war, to tight for. the Union Army._,She goes to help her widowed mother-m-law on the farm in Iowa.

Known' as the Morgenthau Plan, it sparked a long-running debate within the Roosevelt administration and the Big Three. Most Treasury secretaries wouldn't be key players in determining military strategy, unless it involved finding a way to pay for it. But Roosevelt never followed the lines written on any organizational chart. Instead, FOR excelled at playing his advisers against each other while juggling their competing interests to develop policy. That worked for most of Roosevelt's 12 years in office, as he adroitly kept dozens of balls aloft simultaneously. As the war continued, however, Roosevelt's energy and skills began to erode. By 1944, many associates were convinced he would die soon; these concerns led Democratic Party leaders to push to add Harry Truman to the 1944 ticket.

An important requirement, considering there were 369 separate septic s yste ms designed and approved by the health department in the past two years . Unfortunately, some sy'lltems were installed without the oversight of the health department. Generally, these ~ ystems fail because of poor design or do not meet the requirements of the household sewage disposal rules enacted by the legislation in July I , 1974. These rules were written by the Ohio Department of Health and set the standard for design, installation , and operation for all residential septic systems in Ohio. Today, the Gallia County Health Department uses these rules to fairly govern any residential sewage treatment issues in Gallia County. The effectiveness and approval of a sewage system is mainly determined by the location of system. For example, the topography of the land may allow only a certain area for the septic system. If this area is damaged or made unavailable by the location of the house then the system is either placed in a less effective area or is not able to be installed. The Ohio Department of Health realized this importance when requiring a san· itarian to inspect a site before excavation or construction. If this site is not inspected it can complicate the design and installation . Complications of this nature usually increase the cost of the system because . additional components are needed to overcome the site restrictions.

COLUMBUS - As the population of people living with heart disease increases to overwhelming proportions, doctors who specialize .in treating the disease are asking some serious questions about how current medical and surgical therapies are utilized. The answer may lie in ·a massive revamping of the criteria health care professionals have used for years to assign patients to appropriate treatments. Several institutions around the country, includin!l The Ohio State University Heart Center, are embarking on a multimillion-dollar study to evaluate and compare today's medical and surgical treatments, and establish guidelines for their use. While most people with heart failu~e successfully managed with drug therapy, surge!}' or both, doctors are sometimes hampered in making the best choice for their patients by the shortage of updated research on the topic. Much data is from the 1970s and 1980s, and rendered obsolete in today's world of high-tech therapies. With the number of heart failure patients expected to double to 10 million in the next five years, effective first-line treatments will become more important for keeping hospitalizations and rising health care costs in check. "In a way, we're the victims of our own successes," says Dr. Robert Michler, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at the OSU Heart Center. "Improved education and modern technology are helping to reduce the death rates of heart attacks, but the survivors are coming back to us years later as heart failure patients." Michler, principal investigator at Ohio State for a of National Institutes Health-funded study on heart failure therapies, says specially engineered drugs and implantable devices are improving and prolonging lives of people with heart failure. "In addition, we're successfully operating on patients who 10 years ago would have been deemed too high of a risk to survive surgery," he said. Over three years, 2,800 patients with ischemic heart failure will be recruited for the national study. Patients will be evaluated and randomly assigned to receive drug therapy or surgery, or a of both. combination Patients eligible for surgical intervention will receive bypass sur¥ery, with or without surgtcal ventricular reconstruction, a procedure recently introduced at Ohio State where the heart's left ventricle is "remodeled" to achieve a better pumping efficiency. Progress of participants in the study will be documented for at least five years. Dr. William Abraham , director of the division of cardiovascular diseases at the OSU Heart Center and co-investigator of the study, says researchers are looking at treatments that can not only extend survival, but also extend the length of time patients can stay out of the hospital. "Congestive heart failure is the leading caJ,Jse of hospitalization in Americans over the age of 65, and the number of diagnosed patients, and the costs for treating them, are going up," said Abraham. "This trial should give us a final answer on how best to treat patients with the disease." Heart specialists at the OSU Heart Center have pioneered the development of many cardiovascular procedures used today in medicine. They also lead the nation in the research and · testing of several heart fail- ure medications now con si d- . erect standard therapy in hos- · pitals across the country, and they continue to investi gate · agents and procedures to · improve failing heart func- " tion. : OSU Medical Center is ~ among a small group of academic medical centers that have successfully melded cardiovascular research ·with · clinical care to form free- • standing heart programs.

"Some peo~le don't know what you re talking about, but most people do." The concept of the "boys' band" apparently came from the North Iowa Band Festival, now going into its 65th year (girls are included), said festival coordinator Vance Baird. About 20 bands, mostly from Iowa and Minnesota, parade through Mason City once a year. "I think that he just saw the outpouring of the goodness of the people, how the people supported the music programs and the youth ," said Baird, who has been involved with the festival since 1947.

There's also a music museum, recording studio and practice rooms. "Music has been as much a part of this community as atltletics," said Carl Miller, a streetscape organizer. The streetscape was built next to Willson's boyhood home. Willson wrote several musicals, including "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," · but his best-known - · and the one perhaps nearest to his heart - was "The Music Man," which debuted on Broadway in 1957 and was a smash htt, starring Robert Preston.

With this soft- . ware the health department can better assist homeowners with proper maintenance of the septic system. Also, prospective homebuyers interested in the septic system of a home will have access to any information regarding that system.

Residents will find a spot for the stranded traveler in the community hall or their own homes, said Helvetia native Sandy Burky, 44. The holiday, which in Switzerland dates back at least to the 1300s, is traditionally the last big party before the deprivatiOns of Lent. It also heralds the coming of spring. And in a mountain town that hasn't seen the ground since the beginning of January, resident Eleanor Mailloux voices the sentiments of many toward winter: "Let's get rid of it." But a journey to Helvetia, loved both for its charm and remoteness, is not for the faint of heart. For the last II miles, the bblck ribbon of snow-lined Tarmac dives and twists past f\)5CSI$ ice-covered trees an(Hhododendron. When the wilderness gives way to a .or view of the town, it seems as if the Emerald City itself has appeared. At the center of the town is Mailloux's Swiss restaurant, The Hutte, the anchor and unofficial meeting place of the community. Mailloux returned to her hometown with her five chi!dren in 1963 after traveling the world with the American Red Cross. "I wouldn't want to live anywhere else," said Mailloux as she warmed herself beside the wood-burning stove in the cozy kitchen of her restaurant. , Throughout the day visitors trail in and out and the stove stays on, warming the air and infusing clothes with its smoky fragrance. As Mailloux and residents Burky and Bruce Betler talked about the town and its traditions, the ghoulish, empty-eyed faces of Mailloux's old Fasnacht masks watched from the adjoining room. Helvetia, which has been on the National Register of Historical Places for 25 years, was settled in 1869 by a group of German-speaking Roman Catholic and Protestant Swiss from Brooklyn, N.Y. With too few of each denomination to hold separate festivals, said Mailloux, the settlers combined preLenten Catholic celebrauons and the Protestant tradition of Winterfest to form the distinct local incarnation of Fasnacht. Literally translating to Fast Night, Fasnacht falls each year in Helvetia on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday. It begins with coqking of traditional pastries, such as Hozablatz and rosettes, and doughnuts deep-fried in the lard forbidden during the 40 days 0 f Le nt ' After filling up on sweets, everyone gathers in their handmade costumes and parades With caper lanterns to the local ha I where revelers dance and drink beer under a 7"foot effi~ of Old Man Winter dang ing from theThceiling.

During the evening the costumes are judged and awards given out based on categories created on the spot, said Betler. The prize IS a little Swiss flag. But no matter how inspired a costume, after its debut there are no repeat performances. "Otherwise you'd be laughed at. You'd be scorned!" said Betler with a smile. Costumes are also created with the utmost secrecy, said Betler. Questions about what might be expected this year will only elicit stunned silence and a good-natured change of subject. The high drama of the evening comes at midnight, when Old Man Winter, made of newspapers, old clothes and firecrackers, is cut down, dragged out into the snow, beaten up and thrown in a massive bonfire to shouts and hoots from the crowd. As winter fades into the embers, the party continues until everyone's too tired to go on. Burky said Fasnacht did not become popular with outsiders until PBS aired a documentary about Helvetia a decade ago. She said the new visitors have nicely upped lhe ante on costume creativity and also brought positive attention to the remote vil!age. And more and more outsiders are becoming smitten with the town where, Mailloux says, "they can just let down their hair." Maggie Hinkel, 38, and her 3 ... .,. M...., Everett J .

"It's no longer just going to a literature rack in a high school and picking up a brochure," said Paul Kotakis, a spokesman at the U.S. Army Cadet Command at Fort Monroe, Va. ROTC units at the University of Akron, Colorado State University, the University of Northern Colorado, Indiana University, Brigham Young University and Pen~sylvania State University are among those reporting higher enrollment or interest. At Kansas State University, the Army ROTC program has 130 cadets compared with 67 three years ago. "It's been steady, it's been significant and . it's been deliberate," said Lt. Col. Arthur DeGroat, who gave the program a "tune up" to lure the best and brightest students. It worked, and now DeGroat says the unit is so popular that he may have to consider limiting enrollment. "I could have a lot more if I decreased the quality of my program, but I'm just unwillmg to do that." Enrollment at the Air Force ROTC pw~ram at Miami University tn Oxford is at 120, a 30-year high after tripling since the 2000-2001 school year. Lt. Col.

The living·room of the Whiteley home features a IindaU addition. In the corner sits a penny-farthing bicycle, right, and an old oil street-lamp, not pictured, which once stood .on a street in Jackson, Ohio. · Whiteley home a product of much thought, planning Bv AGNES Staff.writer I HAPKA t's evident that Dan and Edna Whiteley are family-oriented. Almost everything in their house, located just north of GalliJ?olis, has a story behind it connected w1th their family or with their life together. A penny-farthing bicyle sits in a corner of the living room - "We've always liked them."- and an old oil street-lamp which used to stand on a street in Jackson, Ohio. "That was at one of the Ariel Theatre's flea markets," said Dan. "We didn't realize we really wanted it until we noticed a couple seriously thinking about buying it. That ·was when we decided to buy it. "And I'm glad we did." In the garden room is Edna's shovel collection, which. Dan jokes, must say something sinister about her personality. Edna says she ~gan the collection because she didn't want to get rid of the little shovels the girl s used when they were small. So, she explained, she found several more in various antique shops to keep them company. A wagon wheel that Dan had in his room as a child has been made into a kind of window between the dining room and the living area. The Whiteleys bought the house in 1973 after Dan had finished his residency, and raised three daughters there. "The house originally belonged to Emerson E. Evans and was named 'Triple E Ranch.' He planned to live out here but he and his wife decided they would rather live in town ," said Dan. "It was a lot more isolated then. In those days, most of the houses r,ou can see from the window weren't there, ' added Edna. However, the open SJ?<iCe . served their ~rowing family well , With three girls all mterested in horses. "They loved the horses we bought when we first moved out here," Dan said. "But we bought them with the understanding that Edna and I would not be the horses' caretakers. "And it worked out really well. I made a feeding system with a sort of funnel so they could go down to the barn before school and feed the horses without having to go into the stalls and mess up their school clothes," he added. Edna said Dan has always been good at building and making things. "Dan is a craftsman, so you '11 see things around the house that he designed and buillt," Edna said. "He has an eye for design that I don't have; he can take a space and envision what should go where without physically moving the objects around. "I'm getting better at decorating. I didn't have much chance to decorate until we moved here. Before, while Dan was going through his residency, we didn't have anythin~ to decorate with," Edna explained. "I m developing the ability to see what colors should go where, but !l's very much an individual thing," she added, "No two people will completely agree on what looks right in a room.' · While manr couples think seriously about 'down-sizin~ after the children leave, the Whiteleys d1d the opposite. "A big house is good for a marriage," joked Dan. "We felt compressed; the kitchen felt like a cave. We raised the ceilings.in a lot of the rooms." The Whiteleys planned and discussed the possibility of an addition for a long time before making the project a reality. "We talked about it for 20 years," said Edna. "I think that's one instance in which procrastination is a good thin~ . You come up with lots of ideas that you thmk are great at the time but later you're glad you didn't go through with them," one thing was for sure, Dan and Edna both felt large windows were important; the house fronts a beautiful view of rolling hills and woods. "We always wlmted to take advantage of the view that the house has," Dan said. Ple•ns•Ho-, D2 .. . I The "garden room· is airy and allows lots of light to come Into the house.

These represent some of the cutting edge ideas that owe their origins to a range of new technologies and materials that may be changin~ the way people live and think about decorative furnishings. While some of the ideas are purely experimental, others, mcluding those noted are real, working products. In large part, new ideas in design are a tribute to advances in biotechnology, said Ellen Lupton, author of "Skin: Surface, Substance & Desi$n" (Princeton Architectural Press, $35 hardcover). Developments such as the creation of artificial skin and the successful mapping of the human genome have influenced some designers to rethink decorative furnishings. "Living skin is now a manufactured product, while objects and buildings have come to resemble natural organisms," she said. Lupton, a professor of design at Maryland Institute ~ollege of Art in Baltimore and a curator at CooperRewitt, National Design Museum, in New York, has found approximately 200 different products and materials that conform to her idea of tile breakdown of barriers between nature and technology. The book pictures and describes many of these finds. (They are also on display at an exhibition through Sept. 15 at the CooperHewitt.) . Taken together, the prodI!Cts and ideas point to new themes in home design: responsiveness, lightness, Jlortability, flexibility and the c:apabili ty of multiple functions. "Increasingly we want products that are intelligent m some way and that give us (eedback, such as lights that ·turn on automatically when someone walks int6 a room or furniture that is responsive and doesn't just lie there." Lupton said. : Confirming the connection between the body and the built environment, designers have found new materials for home furnishings in the health care industry. As an example, in 1999 the designer Werner Aisslinger used TechnoGel, a polyurethane gel for wound dressings developed in the 1970s for the medical industry, to ereate an outdoor chaise. The gel, which is clear with a bluish cast, protects the user's body from supporting straps while also creating an ele~ant look. The piece, wh1ch is manufactured by the Italian company Zanotta, was recently displayed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an example Qf excellent cutting edge mod!rn design. Or how about heat-sensi· live furniture? Designer Karim Rashid applied a heat· sensitive polymer to tabletops so that the tabletop records the pattern of an object placed on it. The patterns vary depending on the temperature of the object. "If you have poor cii·~ulation you won't get as strong a handprint so it's a kind of mood ring of how hot your body temperature is," said Lupton. As an example of lightweight portable ob;ects, ' there's a flexible computer keyboard manufactured by ElectroTextiles of England. The keyboard, which weighs next to nothing, can be rolled f t b · th lik th · up e e piece 0 a nc at · it is. "If I' 'th you are trave mg WI a laptop computer or palm pilot, you can take this along and have a full-sized keyboard on which to work," said Lupton. Responding to a general trend towards objects that can do two or more things at the same time, Lupton found a variety of apparel items that can become a kind of movable furniture. Some exampies include that niincoat that becomes a seat, a pair of Bermuda shorts and a backpack all of which inflate to beco~e impromptu portable stools. Sheila Kennedy's experimental plywood desktop 1s an example of doing more with less. An ultra-thin layer of polymer film inserted between the layers of wood allows the desktop to conduct electricity, information and light. There's provision to . plu~ in a portable personal digital. assistant (PDA) as well as embedded digital tools that are activated by touch. The ultimate goal is a very light and deceptively simple-looking desktop that has many different functions built into it. Where to see cutting edge design? Aside from museums such as the Cooper-Hewitt in New York, check out shows like the annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York. That' s where Chicago designer Critz Campbell this spring displayed easy chairs that span the past and present. His "Eudora' chair is a fiberglass form upholstered in vintage fabrics and encased in resin. Then the chairs are lighted so they glow from within. A chair is $2,800 with the customer's choice of vintage fabric. Campbell also brought to the fair the "Luna" dress that lights up in places. The technology is a battery-powered electrically charged phosphorescent cable. Campbell said he is working on furniture that incorporate a similar glowing light. "The 20th century was about plastics, but the 21st 'II be b century WI a out hybrids," said Richard Lundell of Airframe Advanced Materials of Darien, Conn. The company was exhibiting clear and translucent panels with bubbles or other patterns mystei'iously embedded within. The materials include polyester aluminum core, Kevlar with polycarbonate core, and linen phenolic aluminum • core. Until recently, composite panels like these were sold mainly to · aerospace and marine manufacturers who prize the designed-to-order panels' special features such as soundproofing or fire retardancy or unusual · s~ngth and lighl!le.ss. Now, as pnces come . down and designers become familiar with them, they are being chosen for their looks," Lundell said. Fiberglass reinforced epoxy, typically used for surfboards and boats, can be used for outdoor furniture and as a substitute for glass. A translucent panel might sell for about $8 a square foot. "Carbon fiber laminate sheets are cool, black and indestructible, and to me better looking than granite for countertops and wall surfacing" said Lundell. Pricing is about $18 a square foot. NEW YORK (AP) Books make splendid building blocks for the house of your dreams: - "Patterns of Home: Ten Essentials of Enduring Design" (The Taunton Press, $34.95 hardcover, September), by architects Max Jacobson, Murray Silverstein, and Barbara Winslow, is an updated, distilled version of the groundbreaking "A Pattern Language," written in 1977 by Jacobson and Silverstein. The authors delineate classic considerations - · site, light, proportion, flow, privacy and commonalty, refuge and outlook, transitional spaces, and materials - that can make your house a home, not just a place to hang out. The original version of this work, which delineated about 250 patterns that relate to the way people use their homeS, was one of the inspirations for architect Sarah Susanka, author of ''The Not So Big House." one of the most popular shelter books of recent years. "As you'll see from the pages that follow, none of this is r,articularly complicated,' she writes in the foreword to the new edition. "It simply results from careful observation of what our senses tell us about the places we inhabit." - And Susanka herself debuts the third title of her series with "Not So Bi~ Solutions for Your Home· (The Taunton Press, $22.95 paperback, September), a collection of practical design ideas, large and small. It's a compilation of her columns originally appearing in Fine Homebuilding magazine. - Also coming from Taunton is a new series, "Updatin~ Classic · America,' with the frrst title, "Bungalows" ($29.95 hardcover), scheduled for October publication. Authors M. Caren Connolly and Louis Wasserman assess the revival of these simple one-story houses and suggest ways of renewing and updating them. -The success of New York designer Vicente Wolf owes much to his ability to subtract elements and remove clutter from the home's visual landscape. His frrst book, "Learning to See" (Artisan, $40 hardcover, October), he exelains how to apply this philosophy for rooms with a unified look. He offers practical advice about such matters as creatin~ ·floor plans, arranging furniture, hanging pictures and mirrors. • "The Inner Harmony of the Japanese House" (Kodansha, $25 paperback), by Atsushi Ueda, is the English version of his bestselling Japanese edition, which first a!'P.Cared in 1974. Ueda doesn t romanticize the traditional Japanese house; he says in fact that in the name of aesthetics it has sacrificed comfort, variety and structural development. But readers interested in this type of housing will learn about the historic·and central reasons behind ~illars, walls, windows, tatanu mats, earthen floors and rnany other elements. · - Yoshihiro Takishita has a very narrow specialty: saving old Japanese farmhouses. It all started in 1967, when he learned that a venerable 250-year-old farmhouse (minka) would be submerged in a reservoir project. He had the house moved, log by log, to a site in Kamakura, Japan, where it was resurrected as a home for his American foster father, the veteran foreign corres~ndent John Rodenck. Takishita tells about this and subsequent salvage projects in "Japanese Country Style: Putting New Life into Old Houses" (Kodansha, $45 hardcover, August). - Also from Kodansha are titles of interest to connoisseurs of oriental art and furnishings: "Japanese Accents in Western Interiors" (Shu fu notomol Japan Publications, $26 paperback), by Peggy Llutders and Jean Mahoney, and "Traditional Korean Furniture" ($65 hardcover), by Edward Reynolds Wright and Man Sill Pai. - The ubiquitous Martha Stewart presides over "Good Things from Tag Sales and Flea Markets" (Clarkson Potter, $22 paperback), the latest in "The Best of Martha Stewart Living" series. The book illustrates some of the interestin' ways to use those unappreciated, seemingly ragtag bargains you will run across at the sales, such as old baking pans and molds shined up and doing duty as wall sconces, or china platters used as frames for vanity mirrors. - If you've never painted, you probably think it's something simple between the brush and the paint can. ~ut !letting a good, enduring and mteresting paint job is more complicated, and the techniques are laid out in "The Home Depot Decorative Painting 1-2-3" (Meredith Books, $24.95 hardcover), edited by John P.

(AP) - If you're the proud owner of an 8-room, 2,200-squarefoot dream home in San Home from Page01 Francisco, you've probably got less financial wiggle room than your friends who own a similar house in San Antonio, Texas. The San Francisco family with its $768, I 00 home spends almost two-thirds, or 62.9 percent, of its total living costs on housing-related expenses, says Runzheimer International, the consulting fum that analyzes living, travel, relocation and similar costs. At the other end of the scale is a San Antonio family, living in a similar but less costly house ($124,800), which will spend only 27 percent of its total living expenses on housing costs. Runzheilner sees the average housin§-to-living cost ratio in . • Standard City, U.S.A." at 35.6 percent. The fum has included mortgage payments, maintenance, homeowners insurance, utilities and real estate taxes in its calculation of housing costs. "One way to avoid high, ongoing housing-related expenses is to make a huge down payment on the home at tilne of purchase," says Art Balicki, Runzhein:ter's director of client operaffii'ns and a cost-of-living expert. "Another strategy is to downsize. Buy a smaller horne, pay less, and assume a smaller mortgage." "Dan's brother decided to build a lindall cottage, and that's where the inspiration for our addition came from," said Edna. ''We thought, 'there's no reason why just ·a part of a house can't have that design.' So we used the idea in an extension of the living extension. The steps are where the old front door used to be - a new one has been put in on tile side of the addi· lion. "We thought we needed a front door we could use," said Dan, "We had a front door already, but you couldn't get to it. Now we have one that we can use, but we never use it. I don't even how how to open it. "Our friends know to come to the back door. We're just not front door people." ':There were windows along t!Jat wall, but they didn't do it justice."

But most of them are perplexed that this happens only upstairs and not downstairs. They also seem surprised that the gap is as wide as a quarter inch._Do you know what is goin~ on? More importantly , do' you know how l can fix it'! .A<;.)Y.hat you describe is a classt·c case 'of seasonal expansion and contraction. The problem stems from excessive dampness due to poor attic ventilation· and-or a poorly insulated attic. The moisture content of the framing members (rafters and ceiling joist) in the attic (above the second floor) increase s during the damp season and, thus, they expand . This expansion callses the roof-ceiling fram ing to pull away from the wall framing resulting in the gap between your walls and ceifings. The problem will disappear when the weather warms and the framing dries out. The reason that it is occurrin g on the second floor and not on the ground floor is because the attic area is subject to moisture and condensation more readily than the urea between floors . Moreover. the condition is manifesting itself at the interior walls rather than the perimeter for a cou·pie of reasons: attic ve ntila· lion is usually most prevalem at the perimeter which would prevent condensation and. hence, expansion . Anothe r possible reason is that interio r walls are usually not ·in suluted. The heat i~ your home is, therefore, allowed to escape through the walls into the cool attic. Consequentl y, con~ensation gcc;ur!i_hal-. lhq , ceiling joist causing t em to expand. You can _solve the problen t by taking the following .,~le ps: • Make sure that your alli c is well ventilated.

Q&A: Closing that drywall gap Right improvements boost value BY DIIVIO BRIIOLEY plastic hose can' t dama ge your shower like a metal one can. Finally. plastic hoses hold liP better than metal ones do. • A hand shower can replace your existing shower head or it can be used in tandem with it. Although most folks replace, tl)ere are diverter valves that can be installed directly onto the shower arm that allow a hand shower to be installed while the ex isting shower head remains. The diverter allows water to flow through either the existing shower head or the hand shower. depending on the position of the control lever. • There are two kinds of valves: I. The push-pull type. 2. The conventiOnal dial type. . , The pu sh-pull type can be difficult to operate - especially if you have an arthntic condition. A substan tial amount of force is tequired to reposition so me push-pull valves. Test the valve to find out how hard it is to operate before purchasing it. Remember that water valves are more difficult to operate when th ey are insU1IIed.and under pressure. As w e mentioned earlier, hand- showers can be purchased in kit form . When pu r· chased thi s way. a mountin g bracket is included in the box. But not all hand showers come in kits. and a handshower cradle that connects to the shower ann is not the only option available . Fancier mounting bars also are available. They look like vertically mounted towel bars. With this kind of mount, the cradle that holds the hand-held is adjust~ble and slides up and down the full length of the bar.
