BY BRIAN REED Staff writer POMEROY Preliminary estimates of infrastructure damage due to last month's snow and ice storms are in excess of $2 million. Meigs Emergency Management Agency Director Robert Byer said Monday the county, townships and villages continue to calculate the cost of equipment, debris removal and damage to roads and bridges folhwing last week's meeting ~ith Ohio and federal Emergency Mana~ement Agency representatives. Gov. Bob Taft declared a state of emergency in Me.igs County and several other southern Ohio counties on Feb. 17. Now· waiting for a federal disaster declaration from President Bush, Byer said he continues to work with local governments to gather cost estimates in hopes of receiving at least 50 percent reimbursement through the state's disaster funds. If Bush makes the disaster declaration, the reimbursement rates would likely be higher, B~er said. Byer sa1d effons are also underway to determine the . scope of damage to private property, but said it is unhkely that Meigs County will meet the numbers needed for state or federal grant fund.s for pnvate property repair. "There's been a lot of damage to private property," Byer said. "I know of at least four cases of private proper- ty damage, but I don ' t think that overall we'll be able to meet the figures. " Most of that property damage involved barns or sheds . wh~ch co~lapsed under the weight of ICe and snow, damaging tractors and other farming equipment stored inside, Byer said. In order to qualify for grant funds for private prop. h eny repau, I e county must show proof of maJor damage or total destructiOn of at least 25 homes, Byer said. ·Astrograph Tuesday, March 4. 2003 BY BERNICE BEDE 0sOL In the year ahead there is a strong possibility that you're going to be far more enterprising than you have been in the past.

REED Staff wriiBr POMEROY - Dedicated local volunteers were the key to the county's recovery from the Feb. I7 snow and ice storm, and help is still needed, Meigs Emergency Management . Agency Director Bob Byer said. While the Civilian Conservation Corps assisted the county, townships and villages with debris removal in the storm's aftermath, Byer said many residents, most of them elderly or disjibled, need assistance with the removal of trees and debris from their private property. · "There are still a lot of people with a lot of problems out there in the county," Byer said Monday. "The biggest problem we're facing now is how to get these trees and tree limbs off roofs and out of driveways." Byer said a crew of volunleers from the Southern Baptist Convention in Columbus was in the county last week, armed with chainsaws and other tools for debris removal. "They were a big help, but of course they can' t stay for- ever," I Byer said. "We ' re looking for volunteer chainsaw crew s who can help these folks out." Byer said local volunteers were vital to the county 's recovery last month. "If it hadn' t been for these dedicated people who were willing to lend their skills and their time, we would have been in trouble," Byer said. . "These were strictly local people. and they provided a lot of services in a lot of areas . They served food, they manned the emergency shel ters and they helped with communications. "The American Red Cross arrived too late with too little," Byer said . "There's still a lot of work to be done, and I don 't know how it's going to be done without the help of local volunteers ." vlfLf,, SPF.ING If tl~llE •·· Ttl~ CANl>IPATES A~e f£.YING NO~Ttl TO N~yl ~AMPStii~E. ffi .,.t UK£/>., 1-oliC.C, 51G C.U~ Of riJ COfFC:C: II'< il\e MOF:.I<ING, TO g G>IVC ME: 1\ PIC.Kt'IC UP 0Cf011.t.

Post, on AIDS in Florida and the Urtited States: New research suggests that after a decade of relative containment, the AIDS epidemic may be growing again in the United States. Worse, public health officials worry that human behavior is to blame. Dr. Ronald Valdiserri, deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 's AIDS division, says that the incidence of new HIV infections diagnosed among gay men climbed 14 percent between 1999 and 200 I, compared with the 8 percent increase among the overall U.S. population. Studies have identified two behavioral factors. One is the use of Internet chat rooms that promote high-risk sexual encounters. The Bush administration's commendable proposal to spend billions more than previously budgeted to fight AIDS in Africa and elsewhere would seem to have little chance of success without a significant campaign to influence behavior. Money devoted only to abstinence promotion won't be any ·more effective in Nigeria than in New Jersey. The admini stration should change its emphasis from persistent warnings about the shortcomings of condoms to acknowledgment of the critical role they can play in preventing the spread of di sease. Health officials hope the nation's I percent increase last year in diagnosed AIDS cases is a short-term aberration. Unfortunately, reckless behavior seems here to stay. Government never can cure that, but the right kind. of education could help. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Tuesday, March 4, the 63rd day of 2003. There are 302 days left in the year. Today 's Highlight in History : On March 4, 1933, Franklin D.

Thought for Today: "I do not understand the world, but I watc h its progress.'' - Kat herine An ne Porter, American author ( 1894-1980). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ . lfAl Qaeda strikes, will the nation unite? If terrorists set off a dirty bomb in New York harbor or poison the Midwest's milk supply, killing thousands, will Democrats and Republicans in Washington respond by pulling together as they did on Sept. II , 2001? Or will Democrats start pointing fingers at the Bush administration, accusing it of short-changing homeland security. And will' Republicans blame Democrats for playing politics in a national crisis? There's reason· to fear disunity - and that prospect ought to cause leaders of both· parties to resolve to face the nation's enemies together and to work to fortify homeland defenses so well that neither side has reason to blame the other · De.mocrats certainly are oarnmering President Bush on the homeland security issue partly out of justifiable concern that he is not doing and spending enough, partly to get to his right on a national security issue, and partly out of rage at the way the GOP used the issue to defeat Democrats in November. In late January, for instance, Sen. Hillary Rodharn Clinton (D-N.Y.) declared, "When people ask, 'Are we safer than we were on the morning of Sept. II, 200 I?' the answer is, only marginally, because somewhere along the line we lost our edge. We let our guard down." She also said, "Truth is we · are not prepared, we are not supporting our ftrst responders and our approach to securing our nation is haphazard at best. We have relied on a myth of homeland security - a myth written in rhetoric, inadequate resources and a new bureaucracy, instead of relying on good old fashioned American Morton Kondracke ingenuity, might and muscle." On Tuesday, right-wing radio talk-meister Rush Limbaugh said of Clinton and other Democrats, "I'm not saymg they wa~t, us to be attacked. But II s almost as tho.ugh the Democ111.tS can:t Watt for another attack. If tt happens, they're prepared to unleash an assault on the president the likes of which we haven't ~n from them in a long tune. He went on to blame D~~ocrats f?r "~utti~g the mthtary. cuttmg mtelhgen~e fundmg, adoptm~ the ACLU s approach on nauonal secunty and law enforcement.'' And, he concluded, Democrats hear FBI and CIA warnings of a terrorist attack "and they start s~~vating.

Colin Powell meets the teen-age press Few Americans are busier than the Secretary of State; fewer still. are burdened with formidable decisions. Yet, at II o'clock on the morning of Dec. 12, Colin Powell took time to meet with three teenage journalists from Teen Ink, a national magazine with 4.5 million readers, which is distributed to thousands of schools and available online. Published · monthly from September to June by the nonprofit Young Authors foundation, Teen Ink is written entirely br teens for teens, encompassmg politics, poetry, dating, depressiOn, movie reviews, music, books and community service. There are also four Teen Ink books of the best writing and photos in the mall· azine since its founding m 1989. Though Powell scheduled' 15 minutes for these enterprising journalists, their questions intrigued him for twice that allotted time. For instance, asked whether "poverty could be something terrorists use to manipulate and recruit disadvantagM teens," Powell while recognizin~ that a child "without the baste necessities of life" could grow up with a propensity for violence made a very pertinent point: "Osama bin Laden ," he noted, "grew up rich," and all the terrorists who came here from Sept. II "were middleclass, educated people who had nothing to do with pover- The Daily Sentinel • Page AS Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio Nat Hentoff his decisions, Powell said: "I was trained in the military that no matter what's going on, get your rest, because you're the one who has to have a clear head." He added that he ''usually takes holl)e several hours of work, but I go home to a wife who's been ·there forh 40 , years. ... No matter w at s . · th ffi h gomg on m e o 1ce, w at · · ts · under way, who IS · call • cnsts ing me all kinds of names ... I go .home to an environment that ... is a safe place." Another Teen Ink reporter asked Powell about the wave of "zero tolerance" policies in schools that, for example, have resulted in kindergarteners being suspended for using theu fin~ers a.~ guns to play mak~;believe cops and robbers. The reporter told Powell that a teen-age friend, participaling in a school play, ' brought lD a plastic meal' cleaver as a prop .. and was suspended f~r several days. . Powell satd that there are· mstances when zero tolerance "crosses the line of reas<?nableness ... so I tend to avotd zero ty." tolerance, zero anything." He Asked how he slept at night, prefers putting "leaders _in knowing . so many people in schools and other commurnty this world will be affected by act1v1hes who have a sense of balance and . perspec~'l'~· and are not runrnng afraid till the time." A teen·a¥er told Powell that homophobta was m,ore of a problem in her school than racism and religious intolerance. Since helping to institute the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military, Powell said, he has been accused "of supportio~ homophobia. But 1 think tt's a different matter with respect to the military, because you're essentially told who you're going to live with, who you're going to sleep next to." But, he emphasized, "out of a military environment, in a school, I think an~ct that suggests someone s uld be discriminated aD"ainst or in some " way sti!lniatized because of therr racial background, ethnic background or sexual preference is not appropriate. "Here the State 10 Department, sexual preference makes no difference; we have gay ambassadors and employees throughout the department. I don't know who they are and it's none of my business; as long as they do their jobs." Powell was told that the . teen-ager's friends are worried about being vulnerable to terrorist acts. What can teenagers do "to prevent these things from happening?" "Teen-agers,' he said, "should be on the lookout for young people who seem to be havi n~ the kinds of problems that, tf addressed now could avoid real problems. (But) I don't like to think that teenagers in America are walking .. " '. around afraid; they're more likely to get killed in a car acci- ·' dent than by ierrorists. ' "We are going to live with ·: terrorism," he told the young " journalists. "We've had it " before, we'll have to liVe with '' it in a new way for many years ·· to come, and we should protect '., ourselves and be alert, but we cannot walk around afraid." '" He left the teen-agers with '·.· this: "I find too many young '' people don't fail often enough, " and therefore, they're not learning, they're not experi- encing something you .have to experience early in life to be successful later.... Maybe we don't put our young J>C9ple in situations often enough where they're allowed to fail. When ·" you fail, that's how you gain , , experience, and hopefully with , , enough experience, you don't ~ fail as often, although I haven't , proven that point yet." ,, That remark, according to the transcript on , www.Teenlnk.com, was Collowed by laughter. After Ieaving, one of the teen-agers said she took that time with Colin Powell "to the comer of my. mind where memories are never forgotten." My reaction, as before I can across this interview, is that ~·m glad Colin Powell is our Secretary of State. I wish he had been the principal at my high school.

Inmates are expected tO testify this week as a hearing continues in their legal challenge over conditions at the Ohio State Penitentiary. They contend that the state is ignoring a judge's year-old ruling to create a clear process for determining when inmates should be transferred in and out of the prison. U.S. District Judge James Gwin last March ordered the state to issue new rules for prisoner transfers, saying the state had violated the rights of inmates at the prison near Youngstown. The state appealed and lawyers for the prisoners want a new order from Gwin to enforce his original rulings. The state contends it is following the judge's orders but that prison officials need more leeway in handling the most dangerous prisoners. Two unidentified inmates were in court Monday wearing orange jumpsuits with their hands and feet shackled, listening as warden Todd Ishee acknowledged that more than half of the 250 inmates would be qualified to transfer to a lower security prison but chose to stay. He wouldn't say why. Mark Landes, an attorney representing the state, said Monday that inmates may be choosing to stay in the 23-houra-day isolation to guarantee their own safety. An attorney for the prisoners. Staughton Lynd, said some have elderly relatives in the area or are afraid to return to the maximum-security Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucas ville. If they had other choices, the prisoners probably would not want to remain at the "supermax" prison, he said. Ohio opened the Ohio State Penitentiary in 1998, at a cost of $85 million, in response to the deadly inmate riot in 1993 at the prison in Lucasville. It was intended to house inmates who have a record of violent behavior against other prisoners. . The cells have solid doors instead of bars, and the warden has installed steel flaps over the cracks in the doors to prevent prisoners from communicating or passing th.ings out of their cells. The "supermax" has no outdoor recreation area, but during the litiga_tion, the state agreed to build one. Ishee said the prison last week began letting some of the lower-security prisoners eat their meals outside of their cells and spend several hours a day · · in common areas. The state now classifies the strictest security as "Level 5"; maximum security as "Level 4A"; and maximum security with punishment as "Level 4B." Lynd argued that by creating the new system, prison officials essentially skirted the judge's orders for reviewing the security classification of prisoners. · Lynd said that once a prisorrer is shifted to one of the maxi- · mum-security designations, the state presumes that Gwin 's order no longer applies, even though the inmate remains ar the "supermax" prison. "They just move them down : . the hall to ano identical cell,'' said Jules Lobel, an attorney · · with New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights. Mardi Gras revelers brush off concern ODOT director fires over sour economy, prospect of war top assistant over NEW ORLEANS (AP) The last day before Lent meant it was time to party across New Orleans, where Mardi Gras revelers brushed off anxiety over the threat of war with Iraq and a lagging national economy. Mardi Grns is the annual festival of highbrow pomp, elaborate parades and street parties that takes hold of New Orleans, Mobile and other Gulf Coast cities before the period between Ash Wednesdar and Easter observed by Christians as a season of fasting and penitence. "It's party as usual in New Orleans, that's the consensus," said Jeanette Bonura, 52, who df?ve in _)Nith two friends from ne1ghboring Covmgton a day before Carnival season reached its climactic Fat Thesday. Bonura wore a purple wig and .a yellow feather boa and sipped from a Bloody Mary as she danced to Zydeco music efuanating from an outdoor stage alon~ the banks of the Misstssippi River. Along historic St. Charles Avenue, a relatively light crowd endured a chilly drizzle Monday night to see parades which were scaled down primarily to floats, witlj many of the high school marching bands and torch-flame carriers opting out. The route is typically packed ·early Tuesday morning as well, as family~ friends set up barbecues and await a series of floats, from which masked riders hurl plastic beads, coins called doubloons and a variety of other trinkets to the cheering crowds. While the city does not officially release crowd estimates until after Mardi Gras ends, . many longtime residents said traffic appeared to be down this year. . . . Antorn 'rsatsoulis, 26, satd he has spent Mardi Grns at his family's cafe for about the past 20 years and could not recall smaller crowds. "Whatever business we did last year, it had to be about twice as much as this year," he said. Balcony space on Bourbon Street, usually booked about a year in advance, was available in spots right up through driveway investigation .

Mary Ellen Kimberlin, 44, one of three assistant directors at the agency, was fired by Director Gordon Proctor on Sunday, one day before the release of a state inspector ~n­ eral's repon on the invesn~a­ tlon, OOOT spokesman Bnan Cunningham said. Kimberlin oversaw contract sales, construction projects and all hi,ghway operations. Kimberlin, of Hebron, made $103,708 a year in the job she had held since September 1999. Kimberlin worked from 1982-84 as an OOOT engineer and returned in 1996 as a deputy director. Inspector General Tom Charles said Kimberlin asked an official with the Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete Association . on July 25 to recommend a contractor to install the driveway. The association official made arrangements for a staff : engineer who also installs driveways to take the job and told Kimberlin he was offering nothing for free, the report said. Another contractor the staff engineer recommended eventually did the job, the report said. The contractor charged $14,000 but offered a $500 dis- · count if Kimberlin paid in cash. which she did, the report said. Kimberlin also received an $830 reimbursement after she complained about the price. Kimberlin also took calls, attended meetings and made transactions .involving the driveway at her OOOT oftice, the · repott said. Kimberlin has an unlisted phone number and could not be reached for comment. A message was left Thesday evening . at the association 's office. Nearly nine m• n women suffer from heart disease.

(AP) Defending champion Andre Agassi was upset in the first round of the Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic by wild ard Thomas Enqvist 67 (6), 6-4, 6-1. The defeat snapped Agassi 's 12-0 start this year after winning the Australian Open and in San Jose. It was his best start since winning his first 15 matches in 1995. Enqvist, who is 5-4 in his career against Agassi, snapped that run as well, winning in three sets in Philadelphia. 81 st lditarod starts in Alaska FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) Sixty-four dog teams pushed off on the frozen Chena River, launching the 31st lditarod Trail Sled Dog Race along a new route drawn up because of Alaska's unusually warm winter. Mushers and dogs lining up for the "restart" were enjoying snow, something they didn 't have for Saturday's ceremonial start in Anchomge. Amid the din of barking dogs, several thousand fans turned out to witness the lditarod 's first appearance in Fairbanks. An unusually warm season and lack of snow has created the oddest Iditarod since the I, I 00-mile race to Nome began in 1973. It's ihe first time the race has started so far north and with a revised route that extends the trail by 70 miles and leaves· a lot of unknowns, even for veteran mushers.

Bl Baseball ·Rose to again meet with baseball official NEW YORK (AP) - Pete Rose will meet with a top major league official before the end of spring training to discuss the stringent resbictiotis under which he would be allowed to return to baseball, the New York Daily News reponed Thesday. Rose will meet with baseball chief executive office Bob DuPuy, possibly within the next two weeks, an unidentified high-ranking official at Major League Baseball told the paper. Rose's application for reinstatement appeared to be slowed by recent reports that he was seen in a Las Vegas casino and sports book and that he owes the IRS more than $150,000 in back taxes. 'The length and conditions of (his probation) will change, but has he disqualified himself? No," an official told the paper. Asked Monday about Rose's situation, Selig said there was nothing new to report. . 'There are strong feelings on both sides," Selig said durin~ an exhibition game in Tempe, Ariz. · Before meeting with Rose, DuPuy will conclude a yearlong investigation of his recent activities. Accordin~ to the newspaper, that investigation will reveal that Rose has not bet on baseball since his ban in August 1989 but has bet legally on other sports. Rose Rose agreed to a pennanent ban following a probe of his gambling. While baseball investigator John Dowd detailed 412 baseball wagers in 1987, including 52 on Cincinnati to win, Rose has repeatedly denied he bet on baseball. Baseball officials have said Rose must admit he bet on baseball if he is ever to gain reinstatement. As long as he is banned, he is ineligible for the Hall of Fame . ATHENS - Behind a solid pace from start to finish and a well-balanced. offensive attack, the Eastern EaJilles of Coach Howie Caldwell claimed a 60-49 Dtvision IV District Semi-final victory over the Leesburg Fairfield Lions Monday night at Ohio University's Convocation Center in Athens. Clutch foul shooting going down the stretch sealed the victory for the Eagles, who went 10-for10 at the line in the last six minutes of the game. Eastern, 16-5, now advances to the District Finals to be played this Thursday at the Convo at 8: 15 p.m. where Trimble faces the Eagles for the Southeast championship. Whiteoak will meet Manchester in the upper bracket finals at 6:15. · Eastern was led in scoring by freshman point guard Nathan Cozart who had three assists and 17 points, while knocking down three crucial three's. Cozart showed much poise in his first District call at the Convo, playing like a veteran and leading the Eagle floor game. Alex Simpson added 13 points and a good tloor game with seven rebounds, while Brent Buckley. added II points, Nathan Lee Grubb seven points and three 'assists, Cody Dill eight points and I 0 rebounds, and two points each tium Brandon Werry and Robert Cross. Eastern was playing without the services of senior guard Jason Kimes, who was reportedly ill. Leesburg was led in scoring by Wes Robertson with 16 points, Steven Dugger 15, Nick Jones six, Ben Morgan five, Anthony Zink five, and Sean Cline two. A Ben Morgan trey and two inside baseline jumpers from Wes Robertson gave Leesburg an initial 7-41cad wrapped around a pair of Cody Dill and Nathan Cozart jumpers. Eastern began to pic~ up the pace and ran its offense to perfection. Soaring mto championship form, Eastern's Nathan Grubb and Cody Dill spiraled their way to buckets, then Cozart drilled a tri-fecta to give EHS an 11-9 advantage. . . : Grubb, Buckley, and Dill added other buckets; while Dill had a good defensive stand inside to go along with a dominant effort on the boards. The result was a 17-12 first period advantage for the Eagles. For the half, Eastern shot a fairly warm percentage (12-22), but went through petiods of inconsistency and missed shots that allowed Leesburg to stay in the game. At one point in the first half, Eastern led by ten points at 29-19, but Leesburg made it 29-21 at the half. . Alex Simpson started to make his mark both offensively and defensively with several key goals and rebounds, while Cody Dill had two blocks in the frame and a field goal. Cozart, Grubb, Buckley, and Robert Cross put in some good minutes, while Cross had a tip in and rebound that helped spark an Eastern scoring drive. Eastern twice led by ten points early in the third round, but Leeburg made its run with a series of pass and cut drivers down the lane, and a trey by Wes Robertson that tied the score at 34-34. Both clubs tmded three possessions on turnovers and premature shooting that missed its mark. Cozart broke the ice and hammered home what may have been the biggest momentum builder of the game. Cozart double pumped to get his defender out of position and nailed a three from the left wing, the score 37-34. Dill added a goal and Simpson hit several tallies that allowed Eastern to pull to a 41-36 advantage. Cozart and Buckley hit goals and Brandon Werry rounded out the scoring with a baseline jumper to give EHS a 43-39 advantage after three rounds. Starting at the 6: 16 mark, Eastern free throw shooting proved to be its salvation. Goin~ 4-8 earlier at the line, Eastern went I 0-10 at the hoe gomg down the stretch. Nathan Grubb made the score 51-44, foUowed by a pair of Buckley safeties at the I :45 mark, the score 53-44. Simpson added a pair at the I :0 I segment of the game, then Buckley and Cozart added free throws to complete the 10-for10 run at the line and 60-49 EHS triumph. Eastern hit 21-46 overall, hitting 17-35 two's, and 4-11 three's with 14-18 at the line.

They raided the Philadelphia Eagles' highly ranked unit. The Ch1efs, who finished last in defensive rankings' in 2002, signed free agent linebacker Shawn Barber away from the Eagles. on Monday. Kansas City also is interested in Eagles Pro Bowl defens1ve end ~ugh Douglas. Bartx:r s1gned a s~ven-year . d_e~l w1th the Ch1~fs, who ftmshed 8-8 with the leag,.e's mos~ prolific o.ffense (467 pomts), but a s1~ve of a defense.

"He has played with one of the top defenses in the NFL in Philadel hia," · Chiefs president carf Peterson said. "We look for him to bring that experience with him to our defense." Earlier in free agency, the Chiefs re-signed linebacker Mike Maslowski, one of the few Kansas City defenders other coveted. Theteams Eagles lost another key player, kick returner Bnan Mitchell, who signed with NFC East rival New York on Monday. The Giants gave Mitchell , 34, $3.55 million over four years, with $1 .255 million m the first year, including a $500,000 signing bonus. The Giants have been weak on kick teams for several years. Mitchell, who trails only Jerry Rice on the NFL' s career combined yardage list, averaged 12.3 yards on punt returns last year and 27' on kickoff runbacks. "It 's a great ofportunity for me," Mitchel said. "I hope I can bring the same thing I've been doing. I hope I can bring my tenacity on the field and keep making right decisions." The Eagles did gain a player Monday, acquirin~ reserve linebacker Mark Stmoneau from Atlanta for a sixth· round draft choice this year and a fourth-round pick in 2004. Simoneau had just 10 tackles last season, but blocked a punt that led to a touchdown in the Falcons' playoff victory at Green Bay. Washington, by far the busiest team since free agency opened Friday, brought in two more players: guards Lennie Friedman and Tre Johnson. The Skins also released guard Brendan Stai M d on on ~y and .swapped d~af: cho1ces With New E g and. . .

P1ller s agent, Drew Charleston dominates Nitro CHARLESTON, W.Va (AP) :- After helping South -Charleston dispose of Nitro, Alexis Hornbuckle auto:gt-aphed $1 bills for young fans }It courtside at the Charleston -Civic Center. : Who knows if that money :will be a collector's item some ;day, but Hornbuckle certainly :has paid immediate dividends .for South Charleston's state :Champion hip hopes. : The Black Eagles, who had :won four games in the previous four seasons combined, are now 1ust three victories away from :their ftrst Class AAA title, :thanks in large part to one of the :C<!Untry's top college prospects. · -Top-ranked South Charleston :got balanced scoring from Hornbuckle and two other play:ers, and the 5·foot-IO junior led ;a solid defensive display in a :67-57 victory over No. 2 Nitro ln their Region 7 final Monday ;night. ' "Just her presence on the :floor. ... Those kids know that if :she 's in there, we've got a :chance," said South Charleston .roach Gerald Burgy. "She can :take it to the hole 6r she can dish the ball. When you have a player like that, good things 'happen." · . J:Iombuckle, averaging 23 pomts per game, chose to spread the offensive wealth I among her teammates, knowing her defense was needed against a Nitro team that scores 88 points per game. "Alexis is always a factoroffensively, defensively," said Nitro's Megan Withrow. "Just her being out there creates problems for anyone who's going up against her." Hornbuckle had 16 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, five steals and four blocked shots. Teammates Renee Montgori'lery scored 18 points and Rebecca Charles had 17. 1be largest crowd to see a girls game in the state this season - 5,646 - saw the third meeting of the season between the state's two girls powerlmuses. 1be last two were won by South Charleston. "I definitely think it met the hype," Burgy said "I think they got their money's worth." South Charleston (23-1) returns to the same floor on Mareh 12 for a state tournament quarterfinal = a against the' winner of y's regional game between Nicholas County and Elkins. Many observers believe South Charleston now cim coast to the title. Not so, says H~buckle, who won titles at Capital the previous two seasons before transferring to South Charleston last spring. "The states are never a breeze," Hornbuckle said. "It will be a challenge. We just have to go work on our fundamenials and the small things." For Nitro, (22·2), it marked the third straight year it had been eliininated from championship contention by a Hombuckle-led team. For the first two months of the season, the Wtldcats were a unanimous No. I pick in The Associated Press Class AAA poll. Nitro's world started to unravel after coach Scott Tmsley was suspended for one ~arne last month for an altercanon with St Albans fans following a boys game at Nitro. A week later, Nitro lost to South Charleston in the Mountain State Athletic Conference championship game at the Civic Center. On Monday night, Nitro couldn't regain the lead after the start of the second quarter. The Wtldcats had trouble with the Black Eagles' full-court pressure, were sloppy on the fast break and often settled for shots while being closely guarded "They're the ones that won the game that counted. They just wanted it," said Withrow, who led Nitro with 18 points 12 below her average. ' Rosenhaus, said the $21.2 million deal with Tennessee includes a $4 million signing bonus and $1.5 million in incentives. "We felt strongly about Zach from the beginning," Titans general manager Floyd Reese said. "He's a little bit unique in that he has a chance to be a Pro Bowltype player. We think he's got that kind of talent, and although he hasn't · gotten there yet, we believe he can get there. It's hard to fmd those guys, whether they're yours or somebody else's.'' Atlanta signed Cory Hall, who spent the last four seasons with the Bengals. He had one interception and two sacks in 2002 before needing surgery on his left shoulder to repair tom cartilage. Dallas signed punter Toby Gowin, a fonner Cowboy (1997-99) who' was with New Orleans since 2000. Last year, Gowin finished sixth in the NFC with a 41.9yard gross average and a 36.9 net average. His deal is worth nearly $4 million, including a $500,000 signing bonus. The New York Jets resigned fullback Jerald Sowell, who probably will become their starter at that position. He's also a special teams leader. rrlt%l~%l~:~::~::!:xl:n:n;~;;;;;;;;;~~~~;:;~~~tl ~ • WIN • 2 flEE nc.,rr. • • -•• SPRI-IIllEY CINElli 1 FIND YOUR NAME IN TOOAY'S CLASSIFIED SECTION AND WINI •••l•••~~xxxxxxxx;,xxJlxn:xn~~~~~~ Spring training Pro basketball Cy Young winners square off Horn~ts scrape' by CII ppers Associated Press , five RBis in three spring trainmg games.

It's a controversial subject that needed airing. Thank you, too, for your dir~ct and sup· portive reply in which you confirmed that (a) people with disabilities DO have sexual feelings; (b) healthy relationships build self-esteem; (c) projecting personal moral values on an adult who is dependent is wrong; and (d) people with disabilities shq,uld be encouraged to live lifefas fully as possible. My brother became a para·ptegtc at 17. Thts Apnl he turns 47. For the last seven years he has been happily married. I know there were times following his accident when, as a single man, he cc:1t:Jctcd escort services, and I supported his choice. It not only countered major depression, but restored self-confidence, and also confirmed that while his life had dramatically changed, he was still LIVING. - TOM IN SAN . DIEGO DEAR TOM: The letter from "Vic" touched me so deeply I knew it had to be printed, and the reply came from my heart. The mail I Dear Abby ADVICE have received regarding that letter has been both moving and educational. People with disabilities have rights human rights and legal rights - to live life as fully as possible. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I speak as a retired Christian pastor who has seen the hun that "traditional values" unfairly inflict on people like "Kent" and "Vic." Our society has failed miserably to understand the emotional and sex.ual needs of people with disabilities. Since we have no institutionally sanctioned means of responding to such needs, I believe "Vic" took the next best alternative. I hope you will initiate vigorous dialogue on this subject and raise new awareness. Thank you for your sensitive and caring statement. CONCERNED CLERIC IN FLORIDA DEAR CONCERNED CLERIC:· Thank you for speakin~ out although if my matl is any indication, many other Christians do not share your view. DEAR ABBY: I know the pain "Kent" is feeling. I have been paralyzed fcir four years. Women ignore me completely now that I am in a chair. I am lonely and yearn for female attention. People don't realize how noimal people in wheelchairs are. I am the same as they are. I just cannot move. For "Kent's" parents to be so narrow-minded is terrible. He shouldn't be locked up and isolated. Fonunately, my own parents are more understandmg. but it is still difficult for them to understand how important female companionship is to me. - BEEN SOUTH THERE IN DAKOTA DEAR BEEN THERE: Bless them for putting your happiness first. DEAR ABBY: I am an adult protective services worker. Providing .care for il person does not confer the right to control. In Oregon, isolatin~ adults who are physically dtsabled for this or any other reason is a violation of their ri~hts and state law. "Vic' should call the local disability services office and speak to an adult protective services screener or investigator. The goal is not to "call in the law" on "Kent's" parents or punish them, but to help them gain a clear understanding of the rights' of adults no matter what their physical condition or care requirements. -AN APS WORKERIN OREGON DEAR APS WORKER: Obviously, "Kent's" parents need to gain insight. Education is the answer. More on this important subject tomorrow. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips. and was founded by her· mother; Pa11line Phillips.

He said that it takes at least 25 damaged homes in a county in onier to qualify for "individual assistance" through a state or federal agency. Right now that many residents have not reponed damaged homes. "So unless we have 25 homes with damage, we don't qualify. That's why it is so important to call the Red Cross to report damage," he added. The number is 1-866-438-4636. Byer said that as far as he knows, all of the damage assessments were done by the Red Cross. He said that he provided a list of places for the Red Cross to look at but since some of the damage could not easily be seen by driving by, he thought places had been missed. "Somehow I feel not a very thorough job was done because I keep getting calls," said the EMA director. Byer explained that there is just an "outside chance" that any help will be available for private property damage. The state is now trying to get a presidential major disaster declaration which might prove helpful in .getting some money in to help those who had considerable damage, he reported.
