MILES lAYTON Sun.day Tim~·Sentinel . / Acconling to the minutes of the special commission meeting held Thesday morning, the city and FOP had until July 31 to call off future negotiations. Commissioners instructed City Manager Bob Gordon to infonn FOP of their decision. As of Friday, FOP - at the local and state level - had not received formal notification from the city. That lener is expected to be sent this week. The city commission's decision also has basis in the fact that Gallipolis no longer enjCJys city status since the population. according to the 2000 census, is below the 5,000-mark. In order to be recognized as a city by the State of Ohio. municipalities must have a population of 5.000 or more residents. Acconling to census ligures listed on the Ohio Department of Development Web site. the population of Gallipolis is 4, 180. The population following the 1990 census was 4,831. Technically. Gallipolis is now classified as a village. but can retain the name "city'" since the municipality is one of Ohio's charter cities. As a village.

According to the State Board of Education, there is a disproportionate number of children from low-income communities leaving school unprepared for the demands of the workplace or postsecondary education . In Ohio elementary schools, for every 10 percentage points the poverty level of the school increases, achievement in reading decreases by 5.6 percentage points. In the 2001 -02 school year, more than 25,(X)0 Ohio students dropped out of school. In 2000. onlv one in three graduates froi11 rural, high-poverty districts enrolled in college.

"Even though Ohio s educators are improving achievement in high sehoul reading, mathematics and other subject areas. too many students are still leaving school unprepared for the future," she said. ~Ohio's puhlic education system vary from district to district, building to building. and even from classroom to classroom. According to the task force "report. schools serving low income communities have tended to teach lower standards than other schools.

REGIONAL VIEW Prio State police must be supported The Register-Hera/J of Beckley: Carl White was the State Police's No 2 officer before he retired recently. after 25 years with the agency. He had a lot to say at his going-away party. White said the Legislature has not provided sufficient funding for salaries, equipment and technology. " We are supposed to be the premier law enforcement agency in the state and we are using junk," White said in an interview with The Intelligencer of Wheeling. The Legislature's lack of support has left the State Police undermanned, underequipped and saddled with unnecessary outposts created to satisfy political needs, he said. That's strong talk. But he's just getting started. Twenty-five years of having to keep a lock on it, you know. White said the State Police is ill-equipped to fight crime in the 21st century. "It's hard to believe in this day and age, but there are still detachments that have no Internet access." The agency is "critically short ofmanpower," with only the West Virginia Turnpike detachment manned 24 hours a day. Unnecessary detachments remain open due to public and ,political pressure . The agency keeps cars in service for up to 40,000 miles beyond their recommended lifespan because it cannot afford to replace them. Low salaries that lag behind neighboring states give troopers little incentive to remain on the force. A manpower shonage may have contributed to recent problems in the forensic lab. The lab was backed up and employees "cut comers to deal with the workload." · "Of course, the scandal hurt the credibility of the State Police. People thought we were above reproach." Public perception also has been tainted by young officers who are " not user-friendly." Young officers should spend more time in their communities letting residents know they are "real people, not just a uniform ... Too many young people at the academy today have the wrong attitude," Wow. Legislative leaders disagree, naturally. They say White has unfairly blamed them. White is right about much of what he said. However, the magic cure for most of the ills White mentioned is money. There's not enough of it around here, and we seem to squander much of what we do have. Times are tough for state taxpayers, and the economic fact of the matter is that West Virginia government - after ending waste and duplication of services - must set spending priorities . If and 'when that's ever done, the State Police must be near the top of the priority list. ••••• CluJrleston Daily Mail: Charleston Mayor Danny Jones was spokesman for the West Virgima Public Port Authority for two years. He spent those years arguing for a proposed new regional airport in Lincoln County. Now he says he believes the project is not viable - not capable~lifu . . q One of Kanawha County's representatives on the port authority, Mike Bright of Cross Lanes, agrees that the project is "maybe not dead, but certainly on life support." Then isn't it time to pull the plug - to stop spending state and federal money on a proposed airport that isn't viable and .sn•t needed?. 1 · . Citing a " diminishin'g political and public consensus for moving ahead" with the transpark project in Lincoln County, Bright said: "Without that consensus, you won't have this project." The Charleston-Huntington area has a "marginal population base to support the new. airport," Bright noted. " It gives us no margin o(e;:ror." • Indeed, that's been the problem all along. It's not clear that a new regional airport would attract enough passengers to pay for itself. Furthermore, a look at the connections available at both Yeager Airport in Charleston and Tri-State ·'Airport in Huntington now rai ses more questions than ever before about the need for a Aew facility. Yeager offers daily nonstop flights to Pittsburgh, Chicago, Washington , Charlotte, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Tri-State provides direct service to Atlanta. Pittsburgh and Charlotte- and it just picked up better service to Pittsburgh . Allegheny Airways, a subsidiary of USAirways, took over the Pittsburgh service from Colgan Air. Colgan used 'a 19seater; Allegheny Airways will use a 37 -seater. " We should increase our passenger numbers immediately," said Tri-State Airport Director Larry Salyers. These airports aren 't broken. Studies show that Yeager has the capacity to serve the region's needs for the foreseeable future. If air service· isn't broken. there's no need to fix it at great ~xpense. The " life support" for this project has been coming out of taxpayers. It's tim~ to stop bleeding them. Sunday, July 27,2003 BY 5HEJM. McCARTlO' The Washington Post It's harder to get into City Hall these days than it was a year and a half ago. A "isitor used to be able to come out of the subway, rum the corner, and saunter right up the steps and into the building. I n the lobby you'd be met by a friendly, laid- back police officer who seemed to understand that he held one of the best jobs on the force. He'd ask you your business, and politely direct you to where you needed to go. Only if you were headed toward the mayor's offi ce or the " Blue Room." where the mayor holds his news conferences, were you required to pass through yet another check-• point, where you had to show your ID and be buzzed through a gate. All that changed after Sept. II , 200 I . Now the whole block around City Hall is closed to the public. You have to enter through one of two gates, and go past a police officer in a small guardhouse, But she said the shooting where airport-style metal detectors screen both you and your bags. Only then are you allowed into the gated enclosure to walk up the City Hall steps. Wednesday, however, Councilman James Davis. a former cop who was wearing a gun in an ankle holster, and Othniel Askew. who was carrying a concealed silver semi;~utomatic handgun. were able to bypass these restrictions and gain entrance to City Hall. Mayor Michael Bloomberg later said the security restrictions were waived because Davis was a councilman and Askew was with him. Later, in the council's second floor inner sanctum, Askew, a former political opponent of Davis', fatally shot the councilman. That Davis was carrying a gun didn't surprise Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, who got to know him well after his election to the City Council in 200 I . She said it " was part of his attire." He even wore it to social events, she added. raised questions about how Comnu1ity e-Jalls Saturday, Aug. 2 VINTON - Breakfast at Vinton Masonic Lodge, 6-1 o a.m. VINTON - Flag raising ceremony 10 a.m. , Vinton Park.

He worked to stop stores from selling realistic toy guns, protested incidents of police brutality and denounced violent music lyrics. He also served on the Council's public safety committee and the committee on juvenile justice. This makes it more biurre that the councilman would bring a gun into the seat of city business. and that both he and a gun-c3JT)'ing companion were given a pass-through. As a former cop, perhaps Davis still considered himself a peace officer, and carried a weapon for that reason. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg later announced that from now on everyone, including himself, will have to go through the metal detector to enter City Hall. That impressive-looking security system turned out to be flawed. The city owes it to Davis' memory to make sure this doesn't happen again. the entrance policy is enforced and about how safe New Yorkers really are in a place where, until Wednesday. they felt secure in going about their business. " Typically when I go there. I don't get sti:Jpped," said Fields, whose office is directly across the street from City Hall. .. That has got to stop for all of us. This shows how it's got to be enforced across the board. We can never afford to let up." The mayor and his police commissioner agreed, belatedly. in a news conference that was broadcast internationally; Davis was described by his colleagues as a warm, but eccentric man who often butted heads with other politicians over issues he cared about, but was deeply committed to fighting violence in his own community.

According to Holcomb, the first documented bean dinner in Wilkesville occurred in 1890, while Rio Grande's first recorded dinner took place in 1891. According to unconfirmed reports, dinners were taking place in Wilkesville and Rio Grande as early as 1869 and 1870, respectively. Newcastle began having dinners in 1884, according to records.

(AP)Before GlassWorks-WV ended production last fall, a victim of dwindling markets and overseas competition, it took six skilled workers to complete every hand-blown wine glass. "Our product had two flaws," said Bob Gonze, the latest owner of the 77-yearold glass plant in Weston. "It was overpriced and it was old and boring." About 28 miles away, on the outskirts of Clarksburg, AFG Industries' plant, which produces flat glass f_9r . the automotive industry, is thriving. The plant is one long automated production line with little hand work involved, said Jeff Herholdt of the West Virginia Development Office. Whell Gonze and his partners purchased Weston's last mouth-blown glass operation in October 2000, the plant had 255 employees making 16,000 pieces of blown glass a day. Earlier this month, Gonze began selling off his remain· ing inventory and pieces of his factory to try to repay his creditors an estimated $3 million. Gonze blames the plant's demise on production costs, especially his labor costs. "Competing on price when a skilled Chinese glass work· er makes $50 to $7 5 a month compared to our people makmg $2,000 to $4,000 per month , plus benefits , just does not compl)te," Gonze said. · Dean Six, curator of the' West Virginia Museum of American Glass in Weston, disagreed. "Every time glass gets in trouble, like most industries, the first thing we yell is foreign competition," Six said. Six said Congress investigated similar complaints during the 1960s, when the first wave of imports hit. "They concluded that the problem wasn't foreign glass so much as the fact that we just weren' t buying glass at all," Six said. After World War II, Americans stopped sitting around a table to share fami· ly meals, he said. "By the 1960s and 1970s, we were building houses that dido 't even have dining rooms any more," he said. "We don't need two or three sets of glassware any more." By one hi storian 's estimate, Six said, at the turn of the last century the bars, hotels and restaurants of New York City broke an estimated 500,000 glass tumblers every day, tumblers that had to be replaced. "Glass was the di sposable paper of its day," Six said . "Plastic, Styrofoam. didn't exist 100 years ago." He said a serious move toward mechanizing the glass industry began in the 1920s. The AFG Industries plant is the result. "When they make window glass, one mali sits in an environmentally contro lled booth with dials and a computer screen," he said. "He controls the production of as much as all of those factories and all of those hundreds of employees did a. century earlier." The glass industry in what is now West Virginia began long before the Civil War and the state's break from Virginia. As early as 1813, glass was being made in Wellsburg, then known as Charles Town, Va. The industry thrived because of the fine quality of the silica available, ready transportation - the Ohio River and later railroads and reliable, inexpensive sources of fuel : first coal and then natural gas. By 1902 there were as many as 500 glass companies operating in West Virginia, employing tens of thousands of highly skilled workers. . The most recent economic census prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Census, in 1997, said there were 35 glass and glass product establishments in West Virginia, employing about 2, 700 workers, and two flat glass businesses. employing between 250 and 500 workers. Six and Herholdt said finding new products and new markets is whai will save the West Virginia glass industry from the fate of GlassWorksWV. Herholdt points to Marble King of Paden City, the last marble factory in West Virginia. While business manager Beri Fox still pursues traditional markets board games and marble,collectors - the, company also is branching out.

Staying steady on rain-slicked roads while his rival fell during a dramatic time trial Saturday. the 31-year-old Texan pretty much assured himself of a record-tying fifth straight title and a place in cycling's pantheon. Never quite satisfied, Armstrong already vowed that he'll be back next year to chase an unprecedented sixth win in the sport's most prestigious race. He finished 11 seconds ahead of challenger Jan Ullrich in Saturday's 19th and next-to-last stage, stretching his lead in the overdil standings to 1 minutes, 16 seconds - enough to assure victory, though by what wiU be his slimmest margin. Armstrong, who came back from cancer to win the 1999 Tour, called this "absolutely the most difficult year for many reasons: physically not super. tactically some mistakes made." "But this close one feels different and feels better than some of the others - or all of the others. It's very satisfying," he said. The race 's final stage Sunday in Paris is traditionally a ceremonial ride where no one challenges the overall leader. So barring disaster, Armstrong will match Miguel lndurain of Spain, Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault of France. and Eddy Merckx of Belgium as riders who have won five Tours since the race began in 1903. Only lndurain won them all in a row. "It sure feels nice when a guy like Bernard Hinault - as I stepped on the podium today - said, 'Welcome to the club,"' said Armstrong. "That's an incredible feeling." He smiled broadly and thrust a clenched right list into the air as he powered to the finish of Saturday's 30.4-mile time trial . The gesture, he said, was because of "relief to have made it through a time trial that was very dangerous at the end and relief to have gotten that much closer to win- Lance Armstrong. of Austin.

A warm slimmer's afternoon was meant for hitting the old cow hide, slapping the glove on the ball and running for home. But, that's changed. For high school kids, anyway.

Then, poof, two or three key players from ·that team are forced to f!Uit the team because, if they don't, they may not be able to play for their respective high school football teams. I've seen kids have to do this, even though football practices are held earlier in the day and end in plenty of time for baseball . Besides, one of the main reasons for the I 0-day drills is to get the kids in shape for football. Baseball does that anyway. And with the basketball open gyms, forget even playing summer baseball .

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. Outwardly. they couldn't have been more different: Eddie Murray. the silent slugger, and Gary Carter, the nonstop-talking and smiling "Kid." Yet their lives have been almost mirror images: Both were born in the Los Angeles area just two years apart; both were picked on the third round of the major league baseball draft: both played for the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers; and both played on one world champion. And on Sunday. both will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. "This is pretty awesome," said Murray, only the 38th player to be elected in his first year of eligibility. "This is the main place to be. I can' t wait.'' 1he Eddie Murray, the only switch-hitter with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits, and Gary Carter, an 11-time All-Star catcher, will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on Sunday. · Teams Baltimore Orioles (1977-88, 1996)) Los Angeles Dodgers (1989-91, 97) New York Mets (1992-93) Cleveland Indians (1994-96) Anaheim Angels (1997) -----------Honors---------All-Star (8): 1978, AII-Star(11): 1975, 1981-86, 1991 1979-88 1977 Rookie of the Year Gold Glove (3): 1980-82 Gold Glove (3): 1982-84 Montreal Expos (1974-84, 1992) New York Mets (1985-89) San Francisco Giants (1990) Los Angeles Dodgers (1991) Carter 's election in January came on his sixth try.

"I had a veteran (May) who had performed well for us. He was a good first baseman and great guy to have on the team . Maybe people got the wrong impression of Eddie right off the bat."

"I never feared embarrassing myself:' "When I came up, everyone was trying to say I was a home run-hitter. I didn't want to be labeled that. I wanted to be a bitter:' more home runs as a switch-hitter (536). While Murray was mauling American League pitchers, Carter was doing the same in the National League and developing into one of the finest catchers in major league history. Although Carter was a star quarterback· in high school in the Los Angeles suburb of Fullerton and signed a letter of intent to play football at UCLA, he chose baseball after being selected by the Montreal Expos on the third round of the 1972 free-ageill draft. Carter, nicknamed "'Kid" for his youthful exuberance, worked his way up the Expos minor-league ladder, playing catcher, outfield, first and third base, and made the big club for good in 1975 . As a rookie, Carter was named to his first All-Star team and finished the season with a .270 batting average. 17 home runs, and 68 RBi s in 144 gamCis . He became the Expos' full-tinte catcher in 1977 and developed in!o one of the game's best defensive catchers. In that first full season behind the plate, Carter led NL catchers in putouts. assists, total chances, and double plays. "All I ever wanted to do was play," said Carter. who had nine knee operations during his 19-year career. "I never feared embarrassing myself. If I am remembered, I hope it's most for giving it all I had and playing hard every day." In 1981 , Carter made his first All-Star start behind the plate and hit two home runs to win game MVP honors. He led the Expos to their first and only playoff berth. Despite winning his second AllStar MVP award, attaining career highs in hits ( 175) and batting average (.294), and leading the league with 106 RBls in 1984, Carter was traded to the New York Mets after the season. With the Mets in 1985, Carter hit a career-high 32 home runs, drove in I 00 runs, and batted .281 while handling a talented young pitching staff that included Dwight Gooden, Ron Darling and •Sid Fernandez. The next year, Carter drove in 105 runs and led the Mets to their stunning World Series victory over the Boston Red Sox, driving in II runs in the postseason. Although Carter hit 324 homers, his two-out single in the bottom of the lOth of Game 6 may have been the most important hit of his career. With the Mets trailing 5-3, after the scoreboard in left briefly flashed "Congratulations, Red Sox ," Carter lined a 2-1 pitch from Calvin Schiraldi to left to begin the dramatic three-run rally that gave the Mets their improbable victory and a life for Game 7. which they won. "We won over the city," said Carter, now a roving catching instructor for the Mets. "There were 2.5 million people at the parade going crazy. It was awesome.,. After single-season stints in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Carter returned to the Expos for one final campaign before retiring . He still holds the major-league career record for most putouts at catcher ( 11 ,785) and most chances accepted at catcher ( 12.988). Murray was elected on the day of hi s sister Tanja's funeral. Carter's dad, who was his Little League coach, died less than three weeks later. Sunday's induction promises to be a trying time for both. "The loss of my father will make it a sad time trying to get through that, when I talk about my father and how much he meant to me," Carter said. "It's mentally draining," added Murray. "There are times you look forward to it and times you wish it was over." . , ON. ·F I• ' ,_,-. -'17,7H co.

That was 198 1. the year that Ricky Rudd began a record string of consecutive Winston Cup starts that will Teach 700 Sunday in the Pennsy lvania 500 at Pocono International Raceway. Rudd, who doesn't seek the spotlight, is a bit surprised to find himself in thi s position. 'There are no guarantees that you can ever reach 700." he said. "You never know when you smack a wall if you're gonna break a body part that's not healable in a shan period of time. "When we started the season, I hated to kind of get too optimistic about it. but it looks like it's here." Rudd became NASCAR's reigning "Ironman" when he broke Terry Labonte's record of 655 consecutive starts in June 2002. Getting No. 700 means more to Rudd. "I think there 's somet hing a little bit magical about the number 700. It just sounds like a lot - 656 doesn't sound like a lot - but 700 in a row means a lot to me. "When I look back, I didn't realize the · slats because you're racing and looking forward , but what someone pointed out was that nearly 50 percent of those races were top-10 finishes. So I guess I'm kind of more proud of that than I am of the number 700." Rudd said building such a streak takes personal sacrifice . "When you get in this sport · it demands 120 percent of your time," he said. "There are some family get-togethers that I've had to miss - weddings, funerals, things of that nature - that you just simply can't do .... My son is 8 years old and I've missed a few of his elementary school plays and thing s of that nature that don 't seem huge but; to me, they're pretty big." He acknowledges that getting to thi s point also involves some luck. "There have been a few injuries along the way, but I was fortunate enough .that none were serious enough to the point that I couldn't get in the race car that particular weeke.nd," Rudd said. "On the days that I was injured, there wasn't really · any thought put to it about just getting in the car to keep this streak alive. "It was more about getting patched up and trying to win the race and, if we couldn't win the race, try to get as many Win ston Cup points as we could." Even with all that sacrifice and good fort une, No. 700 would not have come if Rudd had follow ed through after consideri ng retirement as he went through a, contentious season in 2002 with Robert Yates Racing. • But an offer to join the Wood Brothers - one of NASCAR's oldest and most respected teah1s - was too good an opportunity to pass up for the 46-year-old drtver. Eddie Wood, co-owner of the team, is happy to be part of another historic racing event, but Rudd has mostly played down the significance of the Pocono race around the team . "You'd like to have a big party and stuff for him, but he's kind of a low-key guy," Wood said . "He's not interested in having the rock star status; he just wants to drive race cars. To be honest with · you, I had not heard him mention the 700th race until today. He just wants to race." Along the way. there have certainly b'een hig~lights for i Bv R,icky Rudd races through the third turn during his qualifying run for the NASCAR Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond , Pa., Friday. Rudd's car is sporting a new color scheme designed by his 8-year-old son, Landon. lAP) Rudd. who has 23 career victories and won at least once each year from 1983 through 1998. "''d have to say probably that first Winston Cup win. which came in 1983 driving for Richard Childress," Rudd said. "That was hi s first win as an owner and my first as a driver. Then I remember winning the !ROC championship (in 1992), and then winning the Brickyard with our own car in 1997. And there are others that just don't come to mind right . now." For Rudd, who first raced a Winston Cup car in 1975. retirement is still a cloud off in the distance. "There have bt;e n a lot of guys that have come and gone that have been older than me, but it's nice having that niileage under you." he said. "I ' m definitely not the youngest kid on the block. but not the oldest either.'' Rudd doesn ' t have any specific plan for leaving the sport. ''I'm sure when it comes time to exit. it will probably be pretty quick - (hopefully) on a high note ." he said. " It would be great just to fin ish your last race and go out in Victory Lane and then leave the sport. That would be my d,ream . "It's probably unrealistic to have it happen that way. but my goal is to try to go out on top if it 's possible at the top of my game anyway."

W.Va. - If the recent Appalachian Archery Traditional Rendezvous is any indication. people will go to great lengths and spend large sums of money to make their sport simpler. How else could someone ex plain why 2.000 how hunters from throughout the United States would travel to a ski resort in southern . . . West Virgtnm 10 expenence the latest in prehistoric tech- The pendulum now appears to be swinging back the other wav. · ..·Traditional archers are the fastest-growing seg ment of the bowhunting public ." Thorne said. "A lot of us started out shooting traditional ·equipment and went to compounds. Now we're drifting back toward the traditional approm:h." Dave Mullins. an arder from Wintield. started out as a compound shooter and switched to a recurved bow five years ago. Now he considers himself a die-hard traditionalisl. 110102\'? Gclie Thorne, one of the event's organi zers. said it's hecause a 'g rowing cadre of archers has grown weary of the gadgetry associated with modern bowhunting and is ,eeking to explore archery's roots. "I think a big part of the anrm:tion associated with traditional archery has to do with the romance and history associated with the bow," said Thorne. a member of the' Princeton-based Traditional Bowhunters of Southern West Virginia. "The same equipmen! has been used for thousands of years. and people see m to want to reconnect with that." Until the 1970s, everyone a"ociated with archery was a "traditional " archer. Bows were made of wood or tiberglass . and sported straight or curved limbs. The advent of the modern cumpGUnd bow changed all that. Bows rigged with complex arrangements of cams and pulleys allowed archers to shoot farther and more accurate ly. Hunters bought compound bows by the millions. "The simplici ty is the thing." he said. "For example, I make my own wooden arro ws.·. The s,·Jiisfac tion nf seeing whatlmake hit the target brin gs me a joy that 's hard to describe. I guess I feel like I'm closer to archery 's 'enter." Even though his recurved bow isn't as fast or powerful as a compound, Mullins said he won 't go back . "I'd rather miss 100 deer with a recurve than ever harvest another deer with anything else,'' he said. Passion for the pastime seemed to be the norm among the archers who attended the rendezvous. "We could never get the knack of shooting compound bows," said Pam Henry of P.A.M.S. Archery. qne of the event's ex hibitors. "So my husband and I have been shooting traditional longbows for the past 25 years.'· Their love of archery gave rise to their bu siness, which specializes in old-fashioned wooden arrows and other traditional tackle. "P.A.M.S. stands for Pam's • Arrow Makin g Shop." she said. "Gatherings like thi s rendezvous are good business for us. because they expose us to loJs of people who have an interest in traditional equipment ." Since most archery shops ce nter their inventorie s on compound bows. carbon-tiber arrows and other space-age appurtenances. finding lra<litiunal gear can be ditiicult. Thorne. who was in charge of the rendez\'ou s · exhibitors. said the event provided the sort of one-stop shopping most archers can't find close to home. "You can't fmd supp.lie.s like we have here in sportinggoods stores ... he said. "For the most part. they're only a\ ailable by mail and over the Internet. This gathering allows people to try before they buy." In that regard . the archery rendezvous is strikingly similar to gatherings held by the mountain men of the American West between 1820 and 1840. "The mountain men, who were hunters and trappers by trade. would get together once a year to buy supplies. to engage in competitions and to have a good time." Thorne said. "Ours is simi lar. People can buy supplies. compete with nne another and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded folks."

"I think that's because compound-bow shoots seem to be so much more seriol1s. This is just the opposite .

"We're going to compete, but even if there wasn 't any competition. we'd st ill be here." she said. "This is our ' together' thing. We love getting out into the woods. shooting and being together.'' The family oriented approach appears to work: In the three years organizers have held the Appalachian on the rendezvous Winterplace Resort grounds. the event has grown from a small sideshow to one of the nation's largest traditional archery gatherings. '·We'reone of the top three . or four shoots in the United States now.'' Thorne said. "Right now. we ' re at 2.000 archers and 45 exhibitors from as far away as California. We're on the verge of challenging the two biggest shoots in the country." There's a lot to be said for simpli city. apparently inspecting for damage. Ullrich attributed his crash to bad conditions.

It stayed at the top of the charts for 4 months and was awarded song of the year for 1990. Since that time four Hopper releases have peaked at No. I. No Southern Gospel recording artist has enjoyed more No. I hits or more Top Five single releases than this Spring Hill Recording artist. In addition to enormous radio success. The Hoppers have enjoyed other national recognition . In 198 I. The Hoppers represented Southern Gospel Music at the Religious Inaugural Celebration for President Ronald Reagan . The Hoppers were also a part of the original Singing AI Sea Cruise, which tirst sailed in 1974. The group has been a part of that every year since. · In 1998, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta,Ga. They performed a song for, Bill Gaithers video entitled "Shouting Time." That would forever change their lives and ministry. They tour regularly with the Gaither Homecoming Tour that plays to over 900,000 people per year in most major sports arenas around the country. Like the State of Texas, Charlie Daniels is partly Western and partly Southern. His signature "bullrider" hat and belt buckle, his lifestyle on the Twin Pines Ranch (a boyhood dream come true), his love of horses, cowboy lore and the heroes of championship rodeo, Western movtes, and Louis L' Amour novels, identify him as a Westerner. The son of a lumberjack and a Southerner by birth, his music- rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel - is quintessentially Southern. In fact, even his bentJor all things Western is Southern, because his attire. his lifestyle and his interests are his.torically emblematic of Southern working class solidarity with the "lone cowboy" individualism of the American West. It hasn't been so much a sty le of music, but more the values consistently reflected in several styles that has connected Charlie Daniels with millions of fans. For decades, he has steadfastly refused 10 label hi s music as anything other than "CDB music." music that is now sung around the fire at 4-H Club and scout camps, helped elect an American President, and been popularized on a variety of radiq formats. Among his more notable sessions were the Bob Dylan albums of 1969-70 Nashville Skyline, New Morning, and Self Portrait. Daniels produced the Young bloods' albums of 1969-70 Elephant Mountain and Ride the Wind, toured Europe with Leonard Cohen and performed on records with artists as different as AI Kooper and Matty Robbins. Daniels' annual Volunteer Jam concerts, world-famous musical extravaganzas that served as a prototype for many of today's annual day-long music marathons, always featured a variety of current stars and heritage artists and are considered by historians as his most impressive contribution to Southern music. Among the artists "Jam Daddy" has hosted at 16 of these mega musical samplers are Roy Acuff, Don Henley, Tanya Thcker, Amy Grant, Leon Russell, Billy Ray Cyrus, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, James Brown, Duane Eddy, Pat Boone, The Outlaws, Dwight Yoakam, Steppenwolf, Bi)l Monroe, Exile, The Judds, Orleans, Willie Nelson, Carl Perkins. Vince Gill, George Thorogood, Emmylou Harris, Alabama, the Allman Brothers, Link Wray, Ted Nugent, Bill Joel, the Marshall Tucker Band, Solomon Burke, Little Richard, B. B. King. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eugene Fodor, Woody Herman. and Bobby Jones and the New Life Singers. When you hear a classic Charlie Daniels Band performance like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," you hear music that knows no clear genre. Is it a folk tale '! A southern boogie ? A country tiddle tune? An electric rock anthem? The answer is "yes" to all of that and more. And t~e same goes for "In America," "Uneasy Rider," "The South's Gonna Do It," "Long Haired Country Boy," "Sti ll in Saigon," "The Legend of Wooley Swamp," and the rest of a catalog that spans more than 35 years of record.making and represents more than 18 million in sales. · With an unerring instinct for the universal ties that bind people together and an equal abhorrence for the intqlerance and fear that do the opposite. Charlie Daniels has kept the specifics of his cultural heritage as the.soul of the CDB music that has impacted the lives of everyday people everywhere. "It's purely American music with something for everyone," Daniel s said. "At least that' s what I've hoped for in my 40-plus years in music." 4 --'---- Page Cl and minnow imitations.

I've seen this happen with my children. It's a great. low cost gift to give them. with high returns on your e'Tort. Here are my picks for a top notch introduction to the arts. Anything from Ernest Raboff in his series "Art for Children." These are picture studies of art by famous artists from the 15th through 19th centuries. Everything about it, including the author's own pencil sketches is brilliant. These books can serve to teach a child or an entire class about important historical and philosophical references to mark against their own place in history. Laurence Anholt, an artist in his own right. also provides an art series in story form about painters and sculptors. He too provides reprints of the originals with biographies of the artwork. Clearly, there was much more to Leonardo da Vinci than The Mona Lisa. A third. author and illustrator, Mike Venezia. has two series; "greatest anist" and "greatest composers. These biographies are cleverly presented, with humorous cartoons interspersed with photographs and art reprints. Roland Vernon offers the most historically, involved Compilation of events surrounding a particular composer. Rich with timelines, his books provide a wealth of ideas for engaging students in history. My kids just loved turning the acetate overlays in Scholastic "A First Discovery An Book" series. These are just plain fun and promote active learning from beginning to end. Their small size and spiral-bound construction are perfect for little hands. I promise, I'm almost done. My recommendations wouldn't be complete without mentioning ihe "Oxford First Book of Art", by Gillian Wolf; '.'Joy, How Artists See Feeling~," by Colleen Carroll and "Music in the Wood" ; the first two, excellent venues for an discussion and critique, great for all grade leyels; the last, a beautifully photographed expose on a master craftsman who constructs a baroque cello for a world renowne~ cellist-an accompanying CD of the cello played, completes the lesson . As you can see, there is so much that the arts can offer. So turn off the TV, unplug the computer and turn on your kids to the arts. The only thing it costs is your time. Next week, we ' ll talk about creative writing for kids. Keep your comments and questions coming. Kids are welcome to e-mai l or write me their book reviews. I'll be happy to include them in my column. Keep reading! (Diane Nader-Epling of Gallipo/i.l' worked for 20 years as a speech -language pathologist and is the mother of th ree.

HMMMMM! Beverly Gettles Office worker by day, creator of spacemen and superheroes by night LENEXA, Kan. (AP) By day, Jai Nitz works in an office. By night, he inhabits a ·world of spacemen and superheroes, mad scientists and talking monkeys. With his goatee and his taste for Hawaiian shirts, the 27-year-old Nitz hardly resembles the buttoned-up Clark Kent of Superman fame, but he 's rapidly making a name for himself in the world of comic books, writing stories for long-beloved icons as well as his own selfpublished creations. And the promising newcomer does it all from his home in Lawrence, about 50 miles west of Kansas City. " It used to be that you had to go to New York, Los Angeles - or Portland, Ore ., actually - . if you wanted to work in comics," Nitz said. "Now, you can work from anywhere. I never mail anything. lt's all e-mail." Working in Lenexa, a Kansas City suburb, hasn't proven to be a handicap for Nitz. who says he can't imagine it any other way. His self-published work from Jungle Boy Press more on that name later recently earned him a grant from the Xeric Foundation, established by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles creator Peter A. Laird. The $3,000 grant won't let Nitz quit his day job as a customer service troubleshooter for the payroll firm ADP. It will, however, help him publish the second installation of "Paper Museum," his homage with a twist- to the adventure comics of yesteryear. "I told the people at Xeric. 'With the grant or without it, I'm going to publish this. But it would be nice to have the money,"' Nitz said . "Now I can roll over, the money from this second issue into the next, roll that into the next, and so on." The second "Paper Museum," illustrated by various artists and due out in July, is the first with Nitz as sole writer. It follows on the heels of his first exercise in self-publishing: the "Novavolo" series, which has everything from insidejoke jabs at comics conventions to a segment called "Nosferatu Kennedy" in which a vampire runs for president on the platfOrm of banning sunlight and legalizing public bloodletting. But don't file Nitz in the "too hip for kids" category just yet. His ''Fantastic Four" installment for Marvel Comics' "Double Shot" series has scientist-superhero Reed Richards - the improbably stretchy Mr. Fantastic explaining his belief in God to his young son. It's by turns sardonic and sweet , referencing every thing from ancient religions to pivotal events in the Marvel universe to the beliefs held , by Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and Thomas Jefferson. And if that sounds like something a college profes- ' sor might say, Nitz · freely . admits that the atmosphere in Lawrence - home of the University of Kansas finds its way into hi s work.

Member FDIC PHILADELPHIA (AP) With a keen memory for names and faces, and many single friends and acquaintances, divorce lawyer Samantha Daniels became so successful at playing Cupid that she started running a dating service. And now ber experiences have inspired a TV show on NBC's fall lineup: "Miss Match."

Ryan O'Neal plays Fox's lather. Daniels. who says she's in her early 30s, founded her company, Samantha's Table, 3 1/2 years ago while practic ing law in New York. She noticed that people seemed fascinated by her career and came to believe !hal she could pitch a television show about a professional matchmaker. Then in late 200 I she met someone at a dinner party who set her up with an agent. The agent put her in rouch with Star, the TV writer-producer whose credits include "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Melrose Place."

Currently single and not dat· ing, Daniels says she's set up 39 couples - and counting who have gotten married, though Daniels is quick to dis· tance herself from the stereotypical image of a meddling matchmaker who goes door-to-door peddling love ahd marriage. A native of suburban Philadelphia, Daniels says that at any given time she is trying to arrange dates for 50 to 75 individuals in both New York and Los Angeles. The coml?any also has a database consrsting of about I0,000 eligible bachelors, who serve as potential dates for her clients. Daniels arranges the date after consulling with her clients; the two meet for a drink and the man pays. Like many dating services, Samantha's Table caters to a particular clientele - in this case, ,successful , well-heeled professionals.

(APJ -It's been said that mastering the ancient art of bonsai requires the eye of a painter, the technical skills of a horticulturist and· the hands of a "craftsman. Not to mention the patience and enlightenment of Buddha. Bonsai (bone-S!') is the technique of training trees to mi'niaturize and mimic nature. The carefully tended plants are considered "living sculpture," "harmonious dis· play" or "silent poetry." To the casual observer, bonsai calls to mind small, gnarled trees bowing gracefully from shallow trays. Perhaps they have some moss or gravel spread naturally around their sturdy trunks, which have been groomed to look wind-worn and ancient. Bonsai is all that and a great deal more. It's proportion and balance - sensing where to place each branch, particularly the primary branch, and "suggesting" what direction each should take. It's thickening the trunk, and aging the surface roots. It also is sizing, soil mixing, repotting, nipping buds. root thinning, watering, wiring, pruning and anchoring. Above · all, it's long-term devotion - many years of cooperation and compromise between plant and planter. "Bonsai trees are a lot like pets," says Elizabeth Stump, newsletter editor for the Yamato Bonsai . Club at Castro Valley, Calif., in the San Francisco Bay Area. "They need a great deal of care and feeding." Bonsai gardening got its start in China a couple of millennia ago. It began there as an indoor activity. The Japanese carried their trees outdoors when they adopted and adapted the art form several hundreds of years later. Americans generally chose the Japanese style of doing bonsai when exposed to it after World War II . ''Bonsai are outdoor plants," Stump says .. 'They're trees. The only bonsai plants that should be kept inside are the tropicals (like bougainvillea or ficus). Generally, you can plan on bringing your bonsai in for a day or two to show them off for company. but they need to be outdoors." Bonsai trees, like their fullsize counterparts, glory in the seasons. They go dormant in · winter, leaf out in spring, bloom in summer and produce colorful foliage in autumn . "Some trees flower. Some bear fruit. Each region and each tree is different," Stump says. "You have to go with your climate." Bonsai can be shaped from seeds or saplings sold at garden centers. specialty shops or via the Internet. Wild trees with promising personalities can be found growing in nearby woods. · Prices vary from the free transplants to tens of thousands of dollars. "There's a wide variety of bonsai out there," Stump says. "Everything from conifers to deciduous trees to tropical plants. The black pine is considered the king. The maple is the queen." Choose what suits you, tree or shrub, sized from just' a few inches to four feet tall. But choose long-lived native plants - cultivars that grow at least 50 years. And choose plants with naturally small leaves. In bonsai, scale is everything. You generally work with what each plant gives you. That could be a tree with a natural bend (called an ''informal upright"), a seedling with a definite lean ("windswept") or a plant with its trunk growing downward ("cascade"). That isn't to say you can't make a tree fit your own vision of reality, which usual- ly means doing some wiring. Most recommend waiting until the plant goes dormant before twisting a soft wire around the selected branches. anchoring them to the pot. You can leave wire attached anywhere from three to six months, but continue checking to ensure it doesn't scar the developing tree. Properly done, wtnng forces branches to bend lower. That creates an older look for what in reality may be a young tree. Most people get started in bonsai by reading books. Then they join clubs, attend garden shows or take a class. How-to information also is available on the Web. The really serious hobbyist might tra ve I to Japan to study under a sensei. or master. '·Everyone has a different reason for being involved in bonsai," Stump says. "For some. it's plant aesthetics. Others may be fascinated by Oriental art. For me, it's dealing with the science of nature in miniature." It isn't uncommon for bonsai trees to . be hundreds of years old and be passed along from generation to generation. "It 's an art form for the ages. Some (trees) have been chronicled in scrolls," Stump says. "Anicles describe how they set about retraining their trees . They took something in already good condition and worked to make it better." Probably the best way to learn is simply by doing. "If you're a novice, you usually end up killing a few (trees)," Stump says. But even a bonsai master never stops learning. "I compare it to the way the French approach cooking," Stump says. "The first year, they learn how to do the dishes. Many Japanese the tirst year simply learn how to water their trees properly. "Bonsai training is addictive."

Together, string trimmers and mowers are responsible for most of the trees that die after planting because of damage to the bark. Unfortunatel y, there aren't many produets for edging around individual trees, particularly ¥Ounger trees that have the most fragile bark. A new product, Arbor Edge, is a one-piece edging ~ystem for trees, shrubs and flagpoles that combines a circular plastic edge witlt. a weedproof basin that holds mulch or decorative rock. The system is designed to enable a mower wheel to ride over the plastic edge, eliminating the need for additional trimming. It is attmctive, inexpensive and easy to instan without trenching or staking. Most edging products are made by numerol!S manufacturers an<l are readily available in the lawn and garden deP.artments of Lowe's, Me'nards and other · major retailers.

Not only does this look terrible, but mowing over the loose edging becomes virtually impossible," Powers says. A variety of wood products . also offer mower-friendly options for edging if they are installed properly. However, even redwood and cedar lumber will rot over time where there is ground contact unless treated with a preservative. , "Green-treated lumber can look too industrial for some people," Powers says. Brick or stone can ruin a mower blade OF even the mower engine. So if it's used, make sure it is smooth on top and wide enough for the mower wheels to ride on.

However, it is work. that homeowners can avoid, mostly by choosing maintenance-free edging materials where a lawn borders trees, flower beds, fences and foundations. Choosing the proper edging materials can knock hours off the typical homeowner's yardwork. during the spring and summer months.

(AP} The Bauhaus was an avant-garde art and design schoo~ founded in Germany in 1919 by Walter Gropius. This school began with l! utopian definition: 'The building of the future was to combine all the arts in ideal unity." This required a new type of student, one who would work in a collaborative environment with other artists. Handcrafting was stressed, with alliances between artist and applied arts. The Bauhaus school dramatically influenced art, architecture, design, interior design and crafts. In 1933 the school was closed by the staff due to pressure from the Gennan State Secret Police. This modem cube-form house was influenced by the Modem Movement in architecture, which was largely fueled by the Bauhaus School in Gennany. This Modem Movement spread across the world in the f920s through the 1970s and has affect· ed almost every city in its wake. fuJiures of this house, Plan APWB-115, are simple geomet· ric forms, creative use of glass and wood, clean unomamented details, simple rich materials, and logical, functional space planning. air conditioning Hardwood floors Skylight at center stair Sloped glass skylights mttmacy and a connection with the outdoors." - Doug Wells, Wells Kastner Schipper ESTIMATED COST OF CONSTRUCTION (exludes lot) ARCHITECTURAL GLOSSARY Northeast $330,(XX) $360,(XX) Southeast $280.000-$320,tXXJ Midwest $290,tXXl-$330,000 Northwest $315,000-$345,000 .

Doors, windows, lights and a myriad of other items were damaged in the fire, according to Superintendent Bob Grueser. He s.aid the damage is cov.ered by insurance. The fire started around 4:51 a.m. in a closet in the hallway near the front entrance of the building where an ice machine and a vending machine are located. There were no injuries reported. Due to the nature of the concrete walls surrounding the ice machine and the tire doors that opened into the . closet, the · fire was somewhat contained to the immediate area. Light fixtures melted and nearby pictures on the ~ails were damaged, but the large trophy case near the front entrance of the high school was not damaged. The Racine Volunteer Fire Department and the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene. Grueser said the large amount of smoke made visibility difticult for tiretighters. He said they had to use a special I thermal-imaging camera to be able to find the source of the blaze before extinguishing it. County Fair tickets gq on sale "The fire departments did a tremendous job of containing the fire and limiting the amount of damage ," he said. Grueser said that while cause of the fire is still under investigation. he believes it may have been caused by an electrical short in the ice machine. While the fire was contained to the closet. Grueser said there was a lot of smoke damage. Water Ple•se see Fire, AS BY CHARLENE HotruCH hoeflich@ mydailysentineLcom POMEROY - Season and membership tickets for the 2003 Meigs County Fair.

They look stunning when they' re clean, but keeping them that way can be a mghtmare, unless you know this trick: First, sprinkle a thick layer of ·common table salt onto the copper. Next, use a spray bottle to apply a small amount of vinegar. The copper will brighten before your eyes. Getting rust stains out of porcelain and chiria plumbing fixtures is just about as easy. You' II need a ·pumice stick and a small container of turpentine. Not paint thinner turpentine. For gratifying results, just dip the pumice stick in the turpentine and rub the rusty area.

Melody Hauber, 46, has worked at the store since 1998 and has been the manager for four years. In the last few weeks, Reedsville has been plagued with numerous power outages. When the lights go out, the . store becomes very dark but people still stop into say hi to Hauber and to pick up a quick snack. Knowing that some customers may not know the landmark store by heart, Hauber is quick to direc-t people in and out of the aisles b y using a flashlight and a smile.

This is a dilemma many families face in their homes. A computer is a magnet for family activity together, but can also cause accumulation of papers, disks and junk. Placing the computer area out of sight by tucking it into its own room isn't the necessarily the answer because keeping an eye on young Web surfers is important to parents. This new computer center is a design option that can be incorporated into new homes or retrofitted into existing ones. Just find an open comer, preferably near the kitchen or family room. Add half-walls, columns, ceiling beams, countertops and an upper cabinet and voila - the 1deal spot. The area is large enough for kids to pull up a couple of kitchen chairs while surfing or gaming together, but not so , large as to take up the entire room.
