Point Pleasant ponders zoning: changes BY KEVIN KELLY POMEROY, Ohio - Meigs County Sheriff Ralph .Trussell Friday advised local residents to be aware of a telephone scam. Trussell said calls, allegedly from Canada, were made to Meigs County residents Frida;r. asking them to wire _cash, vta Western Union, in exchange for larger sums of money. Trussell said those calling advised residents that a $2,500 or $3,500 wire tr.msfer would cover transportation costs, by Wells-Fargo, for delivery of checks for as much as $250,000. Calls to a local pharmacy, which processes Western Union transfers, revealed that at least one tr.msfer had already been completed in Pomeroy, and that Western Union stopped the transfer when it was recognized as a scam, Trussell said. Trusseli said it is not necessary to report such calls to his department, but said those who receive them should disregard them.

Mayor Ed Woomer hopes several . ordinance changes he and other city officials have worked on for the past two years will become a reality before he le aves office on July I. A public hearing on the proposed changes will be held prior to City Council giving third and final reading to action addpting the changes, Woomer said. The changes have undergone two readings and the hearing will be adverti sed, he added. "We . changed so me permitting within !he city on housing and added different businesses to the ordinances that fall under the · B- 1, B-2 and B-3 classifications," Woomer said. A B-1 area, is zoned for · the central downtown, B-2 a neighborhood and B-3, major highway businesses. "We're also working on an ordinance for unregistered vehicles, a new commercial/residential sign ordinance , fencing and a planted material ordinance," Woomer said. Anq,ther · acti.on dealing with dangerous animals is also ln the works , and specfically, . anolher ordinance to deal with stray cats. The cha.nges have been made to keep up with the times , Woomer said. The la st time zonin~ got an overhaul was 111 1972, although some areas have been since updated, he added. As an example, Woomer cited the proposed fencing ordinance. Fencing is currently allowed a 3-foot height for a front yard. The proposed revision allows a 4-foot height, with exceptions . "There are some changes that will be an improvement for the citizens, such as in obtaining permits . without going through the committees," Woomer said. · Woomer said he began working on the update~ while he was city inspec ~ tor, in collaboration with the city's planning commis sion, which updates zoning ordinances. comJiission Current members are Char1es W. "Bill" Rhodes , Jack Juniper. Bruce Dennis and Barrett Woomer. As mayor, Ed Woomer serves on the commission, as does Councilman and mayor-elect Jim Wilson. Woomer said it's his hope cbuncil will approve the changes before the change in administration this summer. "That 's what we're shooting for," h.e said. Wilson said he expects a review of zoning ordinances will continue when he becomes mayor to help create a more user"friendly atmosphere ajld eliminate delays in permitting. " I think we need to," said Wilson , who, served 12 years on the city's zoning board, who said one reason for the current revisions is to make them easier to use . "Some of this was just wording so we cduld get to · what the (zoning) book said in the early 1970s," he said. "We're trying to make it easier to be business-friendly."

NATIONAL VIEW Caution Uilrning from attack in Saudi Arabia · • Chillicothe Gazette, on arrack in Middle Easr: "All the doors came in, the external doors, the internal doors, all the windows. and the next thing I knew I was lying on my back in shattered glass." ' Those could have been the words of any of the victims of the Sept . II. 2001, terrorist attaGks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon . Yet they were the words of a Scottish man who fell vic· tim to an attack in Saudi Arabia. As of this writing, 34 people, eight Americans included, had been confirmed dead with more than 200 wounded. There was no official claim of responsibility. If the aiQuaida connection is confirmed, it would show the terrorist network is still capable of mounting coordinated attacks, even in one of the world's most tightly policed countries. How should we feel? Cautious. ' T.ODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, May 25, the !45th day of 2003. There are 220 days left in the year.

(AP) BoSox beat up Tribe BY JtMMY GOLEN Associated Press BOSTON - Nomar (Jarciaparra homered to extend his hitting streak to 24 games. and Manny Ramirez was 3-for-3 with a homer as the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 12-3 Saturday. Garciaparra, Bill Mueller and David Ortiz also had three hits as the Red Sox, for the second day in a row, scored at least five runs in the •.first inning to beat Cleveland. John Burkett (3-2) left after five innings, having allowed two runs on two hits and a walk, striking out two. Brian Anderson (2-5) took the loss despite two Cleveland errors that accounted for all five frrst-inning runs. He is winless in his last seven starts, giving up ei'ght runs on Saturday - just three earned - on eight hits in five innings. With one out in the first, Mueller singled and Garciaparra reached when his grounder went through third baseman )ohn McDonald's legs. Ramirez was intentionally walked, then right fielder Shane Spencer dropped Kevin Millar's sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. Ortiz followed with a three-run homer. Josh Bard hit a sacrifice !ly and McDonald doubled in the second to cut the Boston lead to 6-2 . Garciaparra homered to lead off the third, then Boston made it 8"2 when Mueller and Ramirez singled and scored on Millar's double. Matt Lawton homered to lead off the sixth for Cleveland to make it 8-3. But Boston got two in the seventh on Ramirez's homer, then added two in the eighth. Boston third baseman Shea Hillenbrand picked up a throwing error in the sixth after a ground ball pulled him to. the foul side of the bag. When he saw he'd been charged with an error, he threw his glove in the air, put his hands up and made a signal to indicate he thought the official scorer, retired Boston Herald writer Joe Giuliotti, was crazy. INDIANAPOLIS- A.J. Foyt IV knows he will always be measured by his grandfather's standards. He's not worried about matching A.J.

All Foyt IV wants is a chance to prove he can drive, too. "People expect you to do so much more than you can because you ' ve rot the Foyt name," Foyt IV said. "He tells one to do what I m capable of doing and not to overqJ£nd myself." Some think the Indy Racing League rookie, who will tum 19 on Sunday when he drives in his tirst 500-mile race, already is doing too much. The youngest-known qualifier in Indy history has been getting a crash course in the speedway's dangers.

Foyt IV has proven he can drive well in difficult circumstances. During his first qualifying attempt May II , a wind gust nearly sent him into the wall in Turn 2 of the famed 2 112-m ile oval.

On the next qualifying attempt, the wind seht the former fndy polesitter into th~ Tum '2 wall . . Foyt IV saved his car and qualified ·later in the day at 224.177 mph, making him the third-slowest starter in the 33-car field. He always has had to face his grandfather's unforgiving temperament and high standards. "I don 't know about warm and fuzzy," the younger Foyt said with1 a laugh. "He's still nice or mean. He's been that way since I can remember." Anthony Foyt didn't always want to drive, though. He spent much of his early childhood working with the horses trained by his father, Tony Foyt, and A.J. expected his grandson .to become a jockey. ' As Foyt IV grew. though, it became apparent that he would be too tall -and he finally realized automobile racing was in his blood. At age 9, his uncle, Jerry, and a friend, · Mike Cockayne, helped Foyt IV purchase · a junior dragster. Two national titles later, Foyt IV moved to go-carts- and the .comparisons became inevitable. I ' . LeBron Mania,S'-'Veeps . over shocked Cleveland BY ToM WiTHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND - Gund Arena, home of the dreadful Cavaliers, wasn' t the same place Friday. LeBron James had changed it, but nobody was complaining. Office phones rang .off lheir hooks. A convoy of•TV news trucks were parked bumper-tobumper on the streets. Fans waited on line in the lobby studying season ticket brochures, hoping that good seats were still available. . In less lhan 24 hours, James transfonned the nonnally serene Gund - one of the NBA's emptiest and quietest arenas - into the hottest spot in town. LeBron Mania arrived Friday to a city still in shock.

' BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ga. - It 's a warm, spring night at Golden Park, an idyllic little ballyard along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Deborah Wright and Kathy Jarrett settle in to prime seats directly behind home plate, ready to root, root, root for the home team. · There's plenty of room to stretch out -· the two Columbus women have a section all to themselves as the South Georgia Waves take the field. · "You can come right in and get the seat of your choice,'' Jarrett says. Welcome to Columbl!s, home to the minor-league version of the Montreal Expos. Crowds (using the term very loosely) are measured in the hundreds -· or fewer. The players would rather play on the road than at home. What about next year? No one has any idea where this team will be playing in 2004. "I don't think anyone in Columbus particularly knows we are here," Waves general manager Jim White admitted. This is the dreary underside to all those much-publicized success stories from . the bush leagues, which are !lush with new stadiums and fans turned on ·by the notion of attending a game without having to take out a loan. ln Columbus, the concept had been met with a collective yawn. The Waves, who play in the Class A South Atlantic League, have averaged 324 fans for lheir first 19 homes games - worst in the minor leagues, even though the numbers appear a bit inllated. For instance, a recent game drew an announced crowd of 455. In reality, there appeared to be fewer than 50 people in the park. "There's no one in the stands," manag~r Dann Bilardello said, relaxing in his office after a recent game. "I feel sorry for the kids. I don't really care. But I know for the kids, it's ·not a fun atmosphere to come play in." The team's first two home games were rained out. When the Waves finally took the field, the usual opening day festivities - such as having the team line up along the basepaths as the lineup was announced - seemed rather useless. "It was a cold, miserable day, and there were like 35 people in the stands," Bilardello sald. "They asked if we wanted them to introduce the players, and I told them no. It was embarrassing. So we. still haven't had an opening night. Maybe later, 1f the crowds pick up." For the season, the Waves have drawn a grand total of 6,159 fans - which is fewer than another Sally Lea~ue team, the attendance-leadmg Lakewood BlueCiaws, can get on a sin¥1e night. Then agam, I here' s some extenu~ting circumstances that explain how this franchise got in such a mess. Start with the nickname. Why is Columbus - hundreds of miles from the ocean - known as the Waves? That can be traced to its previous home in Wilmington, a coastal city in North Carolina. Shortly before the 2002 season, the Waves moved to Albany, a landlocked city in southwest Georgia. The team didn't have time to come up with an appropriate moniker, but planned to hold a namethe-team contest· that would take effect this season. Problem was, hardly anyone in Albany seemed to care what the team ·was called or bothered to show up for the games. So, owner David Heller worked out a deal to move his-franchi'se to a new stadium in Evansville, Ind. Problem was, the stadium wouldn't be ready before the 2004 season. Even so, Heller didn't care to spend one more minute in Albany, so he look his team to Columbus, about 80 miles away. The move took place less than three weeks before opening day and was intended to be a one-year stopover. "We didn't have a batting cage. We didn't have a tarp. We didn't have any field maintenance equipment," White said. He scrambled to acquire the necessary tools, hire a staff and put a team on the field for its first game. The players, who were at spring training in Florida, got word they would be playing in Columbus instead oi Albany. "Halfway through spring training , we still thought we would be playing in Albany," said mfielder Jesse Hoorelbeke , who's in his first season with the Waves. "Right before we let"l, we heard it was going to be here. We really dido 't have much time to plan." Here 's the k'icker: The Evansville deal has fallen through, the mayor deciding it would be 100 expensive to build a new park. The Waves have been left with a most uncertain future. "It was a shock to us," Heller said. "Forty-five days ago, we were planning to go to Evansville. Now, we've got to come up with a new plan." Heller is so desperate that he would actually consider keeping the learn in Columbus, "if they show any interest in having a minorleague baseball team here." So far, there's not much evidence of thai. While Columbus is a hotbed of high school baseball - big games have been known to draw several thousand fans - the pros have struggled to get noticed. The city had a Sally League team known as ihe RedStixx. but they moved to Ohio after last season because of poor attendance. Given a second chance with the Waves, Columbus has barely jumped. ··our big problem is nobody in Columbus knew we were going to ·be here," White said, looking around the stadium during a game. ''The empty seats· speak lo the fact that no one knows we ' re here." The team has managed 10 sell between 50 and I00 season tickets, about half of the billboards that ring the outfield wall, and only three of the I0 suites. The corporate community has responded much like the fans. · "We hear two things more than anything: 'We didn't know you would be here,' and 'We don' t have you in our budget," ' White said. Golden Park was renovated before the 1996 Atlanta Games to host the first Olympic softball competition. Sellout crowds packed the place as the U.S. team won the gold medal. But that excitement didn't can'y over to the RedStixx, who drew ever-dwindling crowds in their new digs. These days, the Waves c.tn handle their demand dn game nighl s with one ticket window and one ticket-taker. The souvenir shop is usually empty - except for the occasional fan who pops in to take advantage of the air conditioning. There's little money in ihe budget for betweencinnings entertainment, which is mostly handled by · a furry .blue mascot named "Crash" '(a dead ringer for the Cookie Monster). Also, team workers reward those fans who do show up by giving out coozies to keep their beers cold. In the far-tlung Sally League, which stretches from New Jersey to Georgia, some teams let their teams tly on especially long road trips. Not so for the Waves, who don't have thai sort of money in the". budget. They've already endured a 17 -hour bus ride from Lakewood. "We spent our whole off day driving." outfielder Sean Pierce moaned. "But that's minor-league baseball. It's rough; but everyone's got to do it. Well , everyone except those teams that tly." Bilardello believes the trying conditions in Columbus will actually hfiP his young players develop. · "We like to play on the road," he said . "And if you ' re going to be successful in this business, you've got to learn to play on the road." Bifardello tells his players to remain focused on the field, not the stands. "You've got to play, whetherthere's one person in the stands or 3,000," he said. "Remember, that one person might be a scout."

"I think this just points out the obvious, that I'm not going to be out there playing every day. "Truth be told, I didn't expect to be doing that after this year, anyway." Larkin is in the final year of a three-year, $27 million deal. Nagging injuries have limited him all three years and prompted the Reds to trade for young shortstop Felipe Lopez in the offsea~on. Manager Bob Boone planned to play Larkin tive days a week during the season, g1ving Lope;? a chance to develop slowly as the backup. More leg problems have scuttled the plan. Larkin strained his left calf and went on the disabled list from April 15 to May 5. He returned and hil a gU!fle-endmg homer on his flfSt swing, the highlight of his season. . A few games later, he a~gravated the left calf, knocking him out of the lineup"temporarily. He strained the other calf Wednesday night while running the bases. Medical tests found no tear, but the Reds can't afford to keep carrying an injured infielder. Larkin, Boone and general manager Jim Bowden met late Thursday afternoon and decided the disabled list Was the best option. Doctors told Larkin he should be fully healed in two weeks. ''This js in Barry's best interest," Boone said. "If Barry wants to play in the future, he's got to show the world that he can still play. And when you're out there on one leg trying to do it, you're going to look like you can't play." Larkin has spent his 17-year cw·eer wilh the Reds, who made him their tlrst-round drafl pick in 1985. When Ozzie Smith's cru-eer wound down, Larkin became the National League\ premier shortstop, winning three Gold Gloves, nine Silver Slugger awards and the 1995 league MVP. He ha~n ' t been the same since Iewing groin muscles and developing a .hernia that requ ired surgery in 2001 , limiting him to 45 games. He played in 145 games last year, but hit only .245 because of a toe injury, strained rib cage muscles. spasms in his shoulder lmd neck. and a sore calf. Larkin has intensified his conditioning drills to prolong his run as a starter, bui hasn· ( been able to avoid muscle injuries. Fonner Reds outtielder and coach Ken Griffey -Sr. warned him }'Cttrs ago that he'd come to this point. "I remember Mr. Griffey would tellme:"You"t:e going to be old one day," Larkin saiu. ··You·re going to get there one day. and all of ihe little things will catch up with you. That\ what 1"111 going through now." The Reds called up infielder Ryan Freel from Class Triple-A Louisville 10 take Larktn·, place. Freel also filled in while Larkin was on the disabled list the fust time. Lopez will take over at shonstop. the jllhtti<111 he's expected to get on an everyday hasi .s next season. Larkin expects 10 share the position with Lopez. when he returns from the disabled li>t "I know I'm in a transition period. and that's fine," Larkin said. "I've accepted it alre:tJv I"m definitely not in the mode of going oul thci·c and trying to play seven days a week. It\ just "linething that I've had to accept, and I h;l\ e:· Larkin, who grew up in Cincinnati. wnuld like to stay with the Reds in a reserve role ne.\1 'cason. The series of injuries has made him WLHlder whether he should just retire. "There's been plenty of times when I've a' l--ed myself that question," Larkin said. "The day when I say I don't want 10 go through the rehab, that's the. day I stop playing. I haven't gotten there yet." �Page 84 • SS.unbap VtillltS -i»rntind Sunday, May 25, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant Sunday, May 25, 2003 T Indianapolis Tough tim~s for 'Greatest Indiana Spectacle in Racing' GELSTON Associated Press DAN INDIANAPOLIS Vendors hawking Indianapolis • 500 tickets outside the speedway share a common .frustration with the unemployed Indy drivers pitching their skills to owners.

The effects of carbon monoxide are cumulative, building in a driver's body each time he or she is exposed to it. Since last year, some drivers have been undergoing h,eavy oxygen treatments after races to decrease the effects of breathing .carbon monoxide. "We helped educate teams on preparing a vehicle in a fashion that would minimize any type of leaks involving carbon monoxide," Nelson said. "Finally, we had to locate the right component that effectively lowers the percentage of carbon monoxide that may enter the vehicle. " Meanwhile, NASCAR is also close to approving a design on an escape hatch that could lie installed in the roof of the cars to give drivers another 'exit route.

With 300 miles of trails nestled among 300,000 acres in the Monongahela National Forest in Pocahontas County, Slatyfork offers both technical single-track riding wide enough for one 'bicycle - and rails-to-trails adventures. Slatyfork also is home to the Fat Tire Festival from Aug. 7 to I 0. Another favorite on the WVMBA tour is the 9,300-acre Kanawha State Forest near Charleston.

The state's toughest venue, though, isn't on the·WVMBA schedule. The National Off-Road Bicycle Association will hold one of its five National Championship Series race at Snowshoe from June 12 to 15. Another race, the 24 Hours of Snowshoe, is scheduled for June 2829 at the Silver Creek Lodge. The race is aimed at the hard-core mountain biker, although competitors cqme from all backgrounds. "A lot of them are making in the six-figures and they spc:nd money when they travel. They re not BMX kids.

(AP) HOME IMPROVEMENT AGRICULTURE ' BY JOHN RABY Jim's Farm Equipment Associated Press www.jimsfarmequipmenlcom CHARL'~~ON. SOUTH W.Va. Mountain bike races go through woods, down mountains and even around-the· clock, yet West Virginia promoters need to keep their minds open to new ideas if they want to bring in more riders, a racing expert says. Rishi Grewal of Carbondale, Colo., has 110 career mountain bike wins. He now races in 24-hour events, including nine wins in II races last year. He finished second at the 24 Hours of Snowshoe last year. Grewal believes the future of mountain biking -should be about bringjn~ events to the people, removed from traditiOnal cros~­ country venues or in 24-hour events at remote locations. One suggestion is races with different components, such as canoeing or climbing. "People are looking for more of an adventure now," he said. "If I was •a promoter in West Virg\nia, I would say, let's make some nice long point-to-point loop or town-totown events that can bring some people into that town and tielp with the loca economy. "You can start out small and get 500 people for your event total -· 250 of those are actually racers. the rest are family and friends and support. You can grow that to 5,000 people. I think you cal) do that if you time it right with the right events." Some communities in West Virginia offer mountain biking as part of a triathlon, such as the Adventure· Pursuit Triathlon near Parkersburg on July 5. That event has kayaking, running and mountain biking. Clay Evans, · a West Virginia . Mountain Bike Association member who also races for the state for the Division .of Tourism, doesn't like the idea of a triathlon with a canoe or kayak because most races require · competitors to bring their own. . "Not only does a person have to have a bike to compete, but he has to have a $400· $500 kayak, so a lot of people steer clear of . those," Evans said. "A traditional tri is run· bike-swim. )t's less expense." Evans would like to see events spread out over an entire weekend rather than just one morning or afternoon. Some smaller venues have offered three types of racing-· a road race, a cross-country race, and a short loop event that lasts less than a half hour where spectators can see the entire race. Making races spectator-friendly would definitely be the way to go, he said. "If you establish a whole weekend, you're going to draw people from out of state," he said. "Now they're going to do all thre,e races, so they have to stay overnight, which makes everything go up ecorioJllywise." · INTERNET SERVICES AUTOMOTIVE BlueStarr Network www.bluestarr.net Norris Northup Dodge www.norrisnorthupdodge.com Turnpike Ford of Gallipolis MEDICAL www.tumpikeflm.com Holzer Medical Center www.holzer.org BUSINESS TRAINING Holzer Clinic www.holzerclinic.com Gallipolis Career College ·www.gallipoliscareercollege.com Pleasant Valley Hospital www.pvalley.org COMMUNITY Yokeyes Birthwear www.yokeyes.com Meigs County Chamber of Commerce www.meigscountyohio.com EMPLOYMENT , 9 NEWSPAPERS Gallipolis Daily Tribune www.mydailytribune.com lnfoCision Management Corp.

Try these • iunbap ltmd -ientintl Sunday, May 25, 2003 I For many, if not most. area hunters and outdoorsmen, all-terrain. vehicles are the preferred method of outdoor transportation, and it is easy to see why all-terrain vehicles, usually called "ATVs" or just simply "4-wheelers," are popular: ·they are easily transportable in the bed of a pickup truck, go almost anywhere, enable the operator to carry heavy loads into and out of the wilderness, and are basitally a ton of fun. The problem with ATVs in Qallia and Meigs countie& is simply finding a place to drive them . Many people drive them with permission on private property, and that is all good and fine, but many others simply trespass on abandoned strip mines,' drive on township roads, or cruise state wildlife areas (where ATVs are banned). For many landowners, ATVs are !I plague; riders cross their property, ride down their fenc,es, litter, hunt and fish without permission , and just generally disrespect the private landowner.

One area is the Monday Creek ORV (off-road vehicle) area of the Wayne National Forest near Nelsonville . Casually referred to as "The Wayne," Wayne National Forest is more than just one area, though. There are three separate riding areas including Monday Creek, Pine Creek and Hanging Rock ORV trail systems. Pine Creek and Hanging Rock are farther south near the Ohio River. . The most popul11r and developed trailhead within Monday Creek is Dorr Run, located just off of U.S. 33 north of Nelsonville. Within the Monday ·Creek ORV area there are 70-plus miles of designated trails , with something for riders of every skill level, from beginners to experts. · That means you can literally ride all day without seeing seeing the same place twice, and to me that sounds like a lot more 'fun then trespassing on a 25-acre strip mine. . Dorr Run has five parking areas that often fill up quickly on weekends, so plan to arrive early. Also, if you play you pay: trail permits are $5 per day per· rider or $25 for the season, and are required whether you ride an ATV,motorcycle, bic~cle or even a horse (Hey, those mce trails don't take care of themselves). Riding season IS April 15 to Dec. 15. You can buy your trail permits and g~:lOd ma~ s at many gas stations · 10 Nelsonville. Ohio residents are required to title and register their ATVs. Richland Furnace State Forest in Vinton County offers seven miles of ORV trails and is located off State Route 327 north of Wellston. Pike State Forest in Pike County boasts 15 miles of ORV trails and is located off State Route 124 in western Pike Cou.nty. The trails wind through the hollows and ridge to~ s. offering the visitor a challengmg ride as well as so me beautiful scenery and breathtaking views.

In The Master Butchers Singing Club.' she looks back to her German roots. This novel spans two world wars , and is set in Argus, ND, ·, Fidelis Waldvogel returns from WWI as a German sniper to marry his best friend's pregnant widow who , soon has a son. His father was a butcher, so he packs up his knives in a fine case and heads for America. He stops in Argus and sets his butcher shop. His wife, Eva, is a wily busmess woman and bears him three additional sons. Life is good, and soon a fra, temal 'singing, club' is created by the men of the little town. The other primary character in the novel is Delphine Waizka, daughter of the town drunk, missing a mother she never met, currently tloing a vaudeville act with her homosexual and handsome panner, Cyprian Lazarre. Delphine returns to Argus to care for her father, meets Eva, , who immediately befriends her, and eventually nurses Eva through her cancer until she dies, The four sons of Eva come to depend ,on Delphine and so does their father, Fidel is. There is a mutual attraction between Fidelis and Delphine. The novel is filled with lush prose and cast of re markable , characters, including the pathetic drunken Roy. amj an odd, woman called Step-and-a-Half and Delphine's best Clarissa the undertaker.

Erdrich is a talented and detailed writer. In one passage, Roy, the alcoholic, tells his daughter, "I drink to fill the emptiness." She yells at him, "Hey, I've got news for you. Everyone does everything to fill the emptiness." The ending is a surprise and certainly does not !rave you empty. John Grisham's latest le¥al thriller 'The King of Torts, is a big disappointment I have enjoyed his other novels, especially 'The' Painted House,' 'The Client' and The Firm.' The hero, Clay Caner, has a thankless job 10 the Office of the Public Defender in DC. His clients are mostly poor, black and guilty. He makes little money and his social- climbing girlfriend and ·her parents accuse him of lacking , ambition, He is assigned the case of a young man charged with a random street shooting. As he begins to research the case, he discovers a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of a huge pharmaceutical company. A dangerous drug causing the patient to become violent has been loosed on the mtlrket and ran- · dom killings are happening , frequently: The enormous settlements possible ·in mass tort suits lead Clay to quit the OPD . and start his own law firrri specializing in such cases. He makes millions, which leads to a major life-style change. Meanwhile the girlfriend, Rebecca, has married a more successful lawyer. Tort is defined in Black's Law · Dictionary as ', .. an injury including action for bad faith .. .for which the court will provide a remedy in the form of action for damages.' These are the laws under which the huge tobacco verdicts have been rendered. The most recent TV blitz includes possible damages for auto to mechanics exposed asbestos in brake linings, I'm sure you have seen the ads. The toll-free number of a torts attorney is given. There is no single memonible character of this book. There is not much action, not even courtroom action. Skip this one and read one of , Grisham's earlier books: In my opinion, a real dud. No one would even bother with this one if it didn't carry Grisham's name on the cover. (Bever!)•Geitles is a retired schoolteacher and librarian living in Gallia County) Lehane's psychological thriller not what his fans ~xpected . Bv BRUCE DESILVA Associated Press At ' first, Teddy Daniels seems a heroic ftgure - a World War II , hero turned straight-arrow U.S. marshal. But soon, he is revealed,as a tormented soul, haunted by the evils he witnessed in war and by the murder of his wife. At first, it appears he has come to Shutter Island to track down a dangerous inmate who' has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane. But that may be a ruse. Perhaps his real mission is to expose the hospital's brutal · experimentation on human subjects. Then again, maybe he is there to find, and kill, the crazy man responsible for his wife's death, Or maybe, just, maybe, he 's there for something else, Dennis Lehane,, whose six previous novels were set on the working class streets of Boston. sets "Shutter Island" near them, yet a world apan, on a desolate , island in Boston's outer harbor. There, something horrible is happening. But what is it? Readers won't know for sure until three pages from the book's end. Lehane· is about as hot as an author can get. · His first five novels, featuring Boston private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, firmly established hJs place beside Ra,ymond Chandler as one of America's greatest crime novelists. In fact, it was hard to imagine a better crime novel than Lehane's "Darkness, Take My Hand" ~ until his sixth novel; "Mystic River," set a brilliant new standard for the genre. And, so, "Shutter Island" has been one of the most eagerly anticipated novels in years. Now that it's here, Lehane's fans will probably feel let down. It's not that Lehane has failed to top "Mystic River." It's that he hasn't tried to, For -- Lehane, "Shutter Island" is something entirely different. Where '-'Mystic River" was an epic story, "Shutter Island" is a small, claustrophobic one, Where Lehane's previous books were,"noir1' crime novels, "Shutter Island" is a creepy psychological horror story - the kind of book you could imagine Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe coming up with if they collaborated after dropping LSD. · Lehane is well aware that "Shutter Island" represents ·a risk for him, He predicted that it would not be well-reviewed - that it is simply too much of a departure from · what readers and reviewers expect of him. He is almost certainly right. . Read on its own terms, "Shutter Island" is a superbly written, unrelentlingly suspenseful page-turner. Those who have not read Lehane before will probably enjoy it. But this is not the book those who admire him have been waiting for.

Now, with his supple ,prose and eye for the revelatory detail, the American author has tackled the Big One in "Dark Star Safari." Pleasure? Near the end. he sums up the experience: " ... abused, terrified, stranded, harassed, cheated, bitten. flooded , insulted, exhausted, robbed, lied to, browbeaten, poiso ned, stunk up and starved.'' But that's only pan of it For this is the most passionate and exciting of Theroux's half-dozen major travel books, Bracketed by fascinating encounters with two of Africa's Nobel literature laureates, Naguib Mah fo uz in Egypt and Nadine Gordimer in South Africa, "Dark Star Safari" is the author's autumn-of-life return to the continent where he was a Peace Corps teacher in the 1960s. It is a rich, hilarious and deeply moving de scription oT nations surviving in the most awful adverSity, Theroux 's conclusion from his 5,000-mi,le journey from Cairo to Cape Town down the eastern side of the continent is that the Africa he knew as a young man livingjn Uganda and Malawi has in most respects become much worse. When it comes to Western aid agencies, his bile overflows . But the book is studded with idyllic moments, froin his sojourn among the littleknown pyramids of Nubia to his canoe voyage down the Zambezi. And there are ' uplifting moments too, like hts discovery, in the bowels ?f a ferry's engine room, of a young African studying a textbook about diesel engines - endeavoring, amid hellish heat, deafening noise and steam-spitting pipes, to make a better life for himself rather than take a handout from a Western aid agency. By ferry, bus, traill, even airliner - his most hated form of transport but unavoidable when the Sudan-Ethiopia border is closed - Africa poses the toughest challenge Theroux has faced. "Aren't you a little old for this?" his children ask, now that he is approaching 60.

"They do not want your , life, bwana:· the soldier assures him . ~: They want your shoes." That sums it up for Theroux : , "An epitaph of underdevelopment, desperation in a single sentence.

But your shoes - ah, they are a different matter, They are worth something, much more than your watch (t hey had the su n) or your pen (they were illiterate) or yo ur bag (they had nothing to put in it), These 11-ere men who needed footwear, for they were forever walking."

"Africans praying for a disaster so that they would be noticed seemed to me a sorry consequence of the way charities had concentrated people 's minds on mi sfortune.''

The standard card is valid for a maximum of two (2) years. However, the provider has the option ·.pf limiting that time to any length he/she feel s i's medically necessary, For c~ample, if during the urine screen, sugar was noted but .there is no history of diabetes or any symptoms, the provider may elect to giye a card valid for 1 month (g uidelines are avai lable at the website for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on variou s medical. cOndition s), allowin g t.he dri" ver to be evalu ated by their primary care provider for diabetes. Dri'vers may drive with a diagnosis of diabetes as long as they are controlled by diet or oral medicat ion , You cannot drive using insulin injections, Drivers with high blood , press ure under control have a card valid for one year, · (2) Are there any absolute contraindi cation s to obtaining a DOT card? A hi story of se izures or being a diabetic on insulin is automatically disqualifying. , (3) If you are feeling "good" when you go in for yo,ur DOT. what could still cause you problems? Blood pressure and vision are probably the two (2) biggest findings that cause ·trouble in a DOT exam. Blood pressure is th e most difficult because it "bounce s" around minute by minute, based on how yo u feel , what you ale, and inevitably - being in a doctor 's office! The provider should measure it at least two times, However, your best bet 'is to measure it yourself 10-15 times (Pharmacy, neighbor's monitor. local EMT/Fire station, etc) over the previous two weeks and ,bring that record with you to your DOT if you fee l your press ure will be high (BP should be< 160/90 to qualify) , Again, it is up to the provider how they will handle this situation, but the fact that you are taking it se riously and if your average is < 140/90 will carry weight. If you don ' t have any evidence to the contrary and your pressure on the day of the DOT is between 161 - 180 (systolic pressure or Dr. Popper top number) and/or between 91-104 (diastolic pressure or bottom ,number), you will receive a DOT coird valiJ fo r only three n\onths. · · This will allow you time to see your primary care provider (PCPJ and be evaluated for hi gh blood pressure (it take s multipl e blood pressure readings over several days to be diagnosed with high blood pre ss ure), If you do not have high blood pressure, a note from your provider back to the DOT pro~ider wi ll qualify you for a two (2) year ticket.

Medication has the potential to affect your motor coordination, reaction time, and your ability to think clearly. The first time you see a DOT provider after your PCP has placed you on a new medication it would be a good idea to have a note stating that you are having no side effects or list them (many side effects don't impact safety, i.e, dry mouth , rash, etc,).

Advice DEAR MARY: My wife and I are having a disagreement. I want to lease a new car now because ours is old and paying for repairs is like flushing money down the drain. She wants to keep it . until we can afford to buy a · bener .car. I hate car trouble and think peace of mind is something to be considered. I'm sure we can afford the payment, but she's not. What should we do? - ·James R., .Alabama . DEAR JAMES: I'd rather shove toothpicks under my . fingernails than lease a new car again, which is a story for another time. Here's my ad vice to you: Do whatever you must to keep the old car running. for now. Also. for the next 12 months live as though you are makirig $300 monthly lease payments - but make those payments to yourselves. Don' 1 even think about being late, just as if you were under a stem leasing contract. At the end qf a year you will have two ihings: A good idea of your comfort zone for big lease payments and $3,600 cash. Now you've got options . . You can sell tbe clunker and, with the .cash, buy a bener used car or put a down payment on a new car. To me, buying a car is far bener than jumping into a lease, where you will spend a fortune and have nothing, not even a car, to show at the end of the lease period. DEAR MARY: I'm so confused by laundry products, particularly detergents. Are powders better than liquid? Is tbe word "ultra" just hype? Cindy P., Pennsylvania DEAR CINDY: Here's the scoop on laundry detergent Typically, the word "ultra" means the product has been concentrated to fit into a smaller box. The problem is, unless you read tbe label and measure carefully to find tile least amount that works for .you, you'll probably dump in the amount you used in the past. Not good. · A product that has fabric softener added isn 't going to clean or soften as well, but is generally cheaper thai\ buying two different products. If a prodm;t says it has more stain fighters, it contains enzymes 1 to dissolve stains bener, but you'll still have to pretreat heavy stains. Detergents with enzymes usually cost more than those without. Typically, liquid detergents are more e:o;pensive and work bener on ·, greasy stains. but the cheaper powdered deter~ents are better on clay, din and mud stains. Both liquid detergent and liquid bleach will get a boost and work bener if you add one-half cup of baking soda to the wash cycle, which means you may be able to use less detergent. This is only cost effective when your soda products cost less per ounce than tbe detergent. And now for my superduper laundry detergent savings secret I buy whatever is · on sale that I can match with a coupon. That means I try them all and, quite franl(ly, if I'm careful to pretreat stains, whatever I'm using at the time produces great results. ...

SYRACUSE Everybody knows it as "The Old Brick" the house which the prominent Bridgeman family built in 1848 and sold in the mid-1960's to Paul and Shirl e y Huston on the €ond it ion t h e y would restore it, not destroy it. T h e Federal period house with four - brick thick walls sit-· ting on 16 ·acres Old-fashioned flowers surrounding a pond flanked by rocks enhance the back porch garden area and convey a feeling of yesteryear. in the middle of Syracuse was home to several generations of the affluent Bridgemans. But as the family members died or moved on, the owners rented the house to a friend who lived there in two rooms for many years. Deterioration of the stately structure continued year after year and it fell into what Shirley Huston described as a "deplorable condition." As the Hustons watched ·the decline of the historic property, they repeatedly - made known their interest in buying it to the owner, Myrtle Bridgeman Dunn of Seattle, Wash., granddaughter of the man who constructed it, Quartus Bridgeman II. Eventually they were able to purchase it for what Shirley describes as a "good price." Certain stipulations · came with the house. It could no.t be destroyed and the' family burial plot on the acreage had to be kept sacred and enc,losed. p I C • lure&. · For t h e Huston family it was a five y e a'r restoration oroject. ·~we didn 't have any money, we just had kids," quipped Shirley as she talked about her late husband working two jobs most of the time and then the two of them spending the rest of their time working on the house. "It was hard but rewarding," she said , noting that they completed 99 percent of the • work themselves . "In everything we did we tried to hold the authenticity of the house," she added. With the exception of installing heating and water systems and a "bump" at the top of the enclosed ' Stairway the house is much as it was in 1848 when it was constructed. The "bump", or small addition , was done so that there could be separate entrances to the bedrooms which originally required passing through one to get to another. While the house does not have as many rooms as one . Please see House. D1 Sh irley is a creative weaver. Sitting on an antique sofa in the .living room of "The Old Brick'' she finishes off a basket.

The past few weeks of wet weather has allowed the onslaught of newly hatched slugs the opportuni ty to find and riddle ripe strawberries. Slugs are easy to collect either in pans of Old beer aligned with the soil line or under 'boards set near the strawberry plants . Slugs will hide each night just before dawn under the boards. Remember to destroy (smas h between two bricks or use the heel pf your shoe) the slugs each morning. Wetness has also encouraged grey mold (Botrytis) to develop on the fruit. Improve drainage and airflow whereby . reducing standing wat!fr and wetness, by growing strawberries in crowned rai sed beds. In Ohio State addition, University studies have show n a direct correlation . between a large number of dead overwintered strawberry leaves and an increase in Botrytis disease. So remove withered, older strawberry leaves from the patch in late winter. Feeding by tarnish bugs causes the strawberry fruits to be deformed. Mowing around the strawberry patch throughout the year to red uce weeds is a nonchemical way to reduce bug numbers. Keep strawberry • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt.
