Route 35 through Mason and Putnam counties are seeking a larger forum for their cause and have attracted some major figures to a press conference slated for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the old Coast Guard station at Henderson.· U.S. Refs. Shelley Moore Capito o West Virginia's Second Congressional District, and Ted Strickland of Ohio's Sixth District that includes the Buckeye State's southeast end, will be featured at the media event. organized by the combined Route 35 Committee of Mason and Putnam. Capito and Strickland are expected to play an imponant role in cushing for inclusion of a $5 million per year for six years line item for 35 in the highway tntst fund bill Congress is expected to take up after the Labor Day recess. Capito, a Republican serving her second term in the House, has made the line item proposal for 35 the priority highway project in her district. "I think this is our shot," said Charles Lanham. Route 35 Mason County committee "Not that chairman. Con~resswoman Capito won t push for it every year. but a hne item assures us of funding for six years." Mason and Putnam 35 upgrade proponents proposed conducting the press conference at the Coast Guard site along the Kartawha River since it's at the end of the four-lane section of 35 leading into West Virginia. The two-lane stretch that extends for about 30 miles from there to Wintield has become symbolic of the traftic bottleneck along the highway. heavily used by cars and tractor-trailers every day. and the site of numerous fatal and injury accidents over the years. Lanham said a traftic count reveals the two-lane road is used on a daily average by 1.200 vehicles. 37 percent of the total representing tractortrailer rigs. "Of course. 35 is already overcrowded and increased traftic will continue to make it more dangerous." said Lanham. government relations officer at Ohio Valley Bank 's Point Pleasant oftice. Strickland's partidpat ion in the press confert:nc~ is critical for the support of Ohio's backers of completing 35 upgrade from a Henderson to 1-64 and opening up another route for tra vel and development for both states. Lanham said. The last portion of 35's improvement in Ohio. a new four-lane between Richmondale and Chillicothe. is scheduled for completion in 2()()4. ''The bottleneck we have here impedes travel to the · midwest." Lanham said. "Ohio wants to capture some of that. and it has a tremendous economic impact on West Vir~inia because completion of 35 will open up the Please see Committee, AS Episcopal minister offers no opinion on gay bishop's confirmation BY AGNES HAPKA ahapka @mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS The rel.'o:nt l'Onfini1ation in the Epsicopal Church of the Rev.

The bac.:khoe, being operated by fairgrounds employee Bryan McQuaid. slipped out of gear and went backward down the hill overlooking the campgrounds. Fellow .employee Vernon Davis was also on the backhoe. McQuaid tried to stop the vehicle, but to no avail. The backhoe turned sharply into the utility pole. Sparks flew from the electric lines, but McQuaid and Davis were able to escape the vehicle without injury. "I was seated," McQuaid said. The arcing from the downed electric line continued briefly, scorching a small spot of grass, and tripped a fuse, knocking out power for several hours to residences and businesses in the area. McQuaid and Davis were driving up the hill to move a dumpster on the hill when the accident occurred. "Equipment doesn't mean .

Bullets that killed three victims this week outside Kanawha County convenience stores were fired from ' the same caliber and class of weapon. police said Friday night, but they stopped shon of saying they were fired from the same gun. "All three balls had the same characteristics," Kanawha County Sheriff Dave Tucker said after getting ballistics results from a State Police crime lab. "But we can't say for sure it 's the same gun.'' Police warned residents not to. visit convenience stores alone and stepPed up patrols Friday, saying a single shooter could be responsible for the deaths of the three people in and around West Virginia's · capital. "We are now investigating into what could be a possible serial-type murder," Tucker said at an afternoon news conference in Charleston. Kanawha County Chief Deputy Phil Morris said he was concerned that the shootings resembled last year' s sniper shootings in the Washington. D.C., area. FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco ·and Firearms officials joined state and local authorities in the hunt for the shooter. A man and a woman were both fatallv shot late Thursday at -different stores outside Charleston. Another man was killed outside a third store on Charleston's west side on Sunday, and authorities are not ruling out a possible connection to a fatal shooting at a supermarket in the Kanawha City neighborhood of Charleston in March. Tucker did not discuss ballistics results from the March shooting. The sheriff said the bullets in the other three killings were from a "small caliber" weapon but declined to discuss details, citing possible harm to the investigation . . Residents were advised Friday not to travel alone to convenience stores and to keep their eyes open, Morris said. "I don ' t want people 'living in fear," Tucker said. Police identified the victims of Thursday's shootings as Jeanie Patton, 31 , of Campbells Creek, and Okey Meadows, 26, of Cedar Grove. Gary Carrier Jr., 34, of South Charleston. was shot in the head and killed Sunday night while using a pay telephone outside a Go· Mart on Charleston's. west side. Randall Burgess, 23. of Mink Shoals, was shot twice in the chest and killed outside a Kroger on March 20. "The investigation so far is that they did not know one another, but we are still looking into those possibilities," Tucker said.

NATIONAL VIEW ny our country? · The Home News Tribune, East Brunswick, N,J., on funding for AmeriCorps: The taxpayers are spending- almost $1 billion a week and sacrificing dozens, maybe hundreds of young hves to the JOb of building a democracy in Iraq. But there is little money at home to stabilize the social fabric and to give jobs to colleg~ students looking for ways to help their fellow Americans. The irony is growing distasteful. · Congress stands ready to slash funding to the AmeriCorps Program. the volunteer army started. in 1993 by_ ~sident Clinton as a way to sllmulate volunteensm m Amenca s youth and to bring much-needed man-power to some of the country's struggling nonprofits. Last year, it cost taxpayers a whopping $240 million. The budget this year has been cut to $175 million, 20 percent of what the llllhtary m Iraq spends m a week. ... The program is not perfect; a federal review found its management weak-- although if that were grounds for dissolution. most of the federal government's agencies and departments would cease to exist. ... Of C->urse conservatives are loath to spend money on social programs. But surely they must note the paradox; if a democracy in Iraq can not be erected without money for hospitals and schools and the like, how is a democracy to be sustained at home without adequate funding to keep society as whole and healthy as possible? Sunday, August 17, .2 003 Fair and bal£lnced In a few weeks the FOX News Channel will celebrate its seventh birthday awash in publici ty and success. From virtually nothing. the organization that employs me has risen up to become one of the most powert"ul news agencies in the country. This is a stunning achievement. but it's also one that has enge ndered bitterness and controversy. FOX has succeeded by mi"'ing a populist-traditional. _ pro-American editorial posture with lively debate that includes voices the traditional network news organ izations would never allow airtime . The accusa tion that FOX is a conservative network is pure propaganda as poll after poll has demonstrated that FNC's audience is across the board ideologically and demographically. The latest survey taken b\ Mediamark Research fino's that more ultra-consenative viewers watch CNN than FNC. But facts don't matter to the FOX haters who are. themselves. primarily ultra-liberal. The domiriance of FNC in the ca ble news world has shattered the stran2lehold the left had on TV~ news for decades. and th;u has caused Bill O'Reilly fear anJ loathing in some political l'irdes. Using liberal-leaning newspapers and publishing houses, the critics of FNC hare unkashed defamatory personal attacks on me and ''ther FOX news analvsts and have attempted to denigrate the entire netwo rk . If FOX News crashed and burned tomorrow. these people would toast marshmallows in the flames. Now. FOX News is striking back by putting the demoni zers on notice that they will be held responsible when they violate trademarks or launch defamatory personal attacks on FOX personnel. It is simply a sorry joke to see a political acti,·ist like AI Franken labeled a "satirist" by The New York Times . Attempting to smear and destroy the reputation s of those with whom you politi· call y disagree is not satire. If that were the case. Richard Nixon's Watergate plumbers would all · he writi ng for "Saturdav Nig ht Live." Hello. ·Donald Segretti. th anks for the satire. what a wit you are. FOX News has become the highest-rated news network on cable because we feature lively debate and all ho ne~t voices are welcome. We don t do drive-by l·haracter assassinations, and we don't denigrate opposing points of view by lau nching grat uitous personal attacks. FNC's presentation is in the tradition of the rauwus town meeti ng where passion and conviction is on display. We challenge .people of all politk;tl persuaswns . · It makes me sick to see intellectually dishonest individuals hide behind the First Amendment to spread propaganda. libel and slander. But this is a grow ing trend in Amer.ica. " where the exchange of ideas often degenerates into verbal mud wrestling with intent to rnjure. The poo-bahs at The New York Times know what a smear campaign is. but apparently. if it's directed at an enterprise the paper disapproves of, it's OK. I wonder how the Times' editorialists would react if their faces oraced a book cover accompanied by t~e word "liar." Oh, that's right. they'd consider it " sati~e. " _ This cou ntry IS a better place because FOX )'lews has succeeded. Now there rs a wider range of thought and expression available 2417. But the country is worse oft" because of the brutal repercussions of that success. A nation that prides itself on diversity of opinion and acceptance of ditlering political points of view is being subjected to an orgy of media defamation and sometimes outright hatred. And satire has nothing to do with it.

Today 's Highlight in History: On Aug. 17, 1807, Robert Fulton's North River Steam Boat began heading up New York's Hudson River on its successful round-trip to Albany. On this date: In 1863, Federal batteries and ships bombarded Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor during the Civil War. In 1896, a prospecting party discovered gold in Alaska, a finding that touched off the Klondike gold rush. In 1942, during World War II, U.S. 8th Air Force bombers attacked Rouen, France. In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina. In 1962, East German border guards shot and mortally wounde!-1 18-year-old Peter Fechter, who had attempted to cross the Berlin Wall into the western sector. In 1969, 248. people were killed as Hurricane "Camille" slammed into the Gulf Coast. In 1969. the Woodstock Music and Art Fair concluded Bethel. N.Y. In 1978. the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon fli ght ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman ianded their Double Eagle II outside Paris. · In 1987, Rudolf Hess, the last member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle, died at a Berlin hospital near Spandau Prison at age 93, having apparently committed suicide. In 1999, more than 17,000 people were killed when a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Turkey. " Ten years ago: A prosecutor in Wayne County, Mich. charged Dr. Jack Kevorkian ooder Michigan's 6-month-old 1 law against assisted suicide for aiding in the death of Thomas Hyde, who was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. A jury later acquitted Kevorkian. One year ago: In Krakow, Poland, tens of thousands of adoring Poles gave the ailing Pope John Paul II a joyous welcome home as began the ninth visit to his native country during his . · papacy. .

COVER'S Episcopal Teach your children good} er, well We have come to the time of year when we remove the video-game control s - by surgery, if necessary - from the hands of our children. and send them back to school. And if they complain that school is a boring waste of time. we smack them firmly yet lovingl y with a roofing timber and remind ~em of the words of our fir st presi dent, Benjamin Franklin , who said: '"There is nothing more valuable in life than an education. e"'cept of course money, or a nice car. .. Those words are every bit as true today as they were in 1935., when "Porgy and Bess'" was firs t performed. Knowledge is our nation's most precious reso urce. after agriculture and Ray Charles . Yet study after study shows that American children are not learning as well as .children from foreign countries ~u ch as Sweden and Hawaii . On standardized tests. most American 12th-graders are unable to correctly answer such basic academic questions as: I. When you wear a baseball-sty le cap. which part is supposed to go in the fronr! 2. What is the difference between "hip-hop" and " music"? 3. Who is Dick Cheney? (ANSWERS : I. The front part. 2.

Or maybe it\ time th at we parents stopped "passing the huc k" un educati on . Maybe instead ot' "point ing the finger" at everybody else. we shou ld t<tke a h;~rd look· at ourselves in the mirror. and place the blame fo r our chi ldren' s lousy test scores where it clearly ·belongs: on our children. They have a terrible attitude. I !1ave here a lett er. which I <tm not making up. from a teacher named Robin Walden of Kilgore. Tex .. who states: " I teach math to . eighthgrade students.. This is an unnece ssary task because they arc all going to be profe ssiona l basketball players , professional NASCAR racecar dri vers. professional bass fisher people. or marine hrologists who will never need to actually use math.'" This is a sad t•ommentary on the uhrealistic expecta· tions of todav·s students . Because the harsh statistical truth is that. in any given group of 10 young peo ple. only a thin] of them . or 22 percent. will actually succeed as professional bass fi shers. The rest will wind up in the "real world." where. li ke it or not. they will need <1 practical knowledg~ of math . For example. I recently found myse lf in a situat io n at a bank where suddenly, without warni ng. I had to <1dd up · four three-digit numhers by h<1nd . Fortunately. I went to eleme ntary sc hool in the 1950s. when we were in the Co ld War. and Amerk an children were forced to learn addition . because the Russians were making THEIR chi ldren learn additio n. Thanks to that training. I knew that. to get the correc t answer. I had to "carry" numbers . some Unfortunately. I rou ld not remember how to do this . For some reason I COULD rememher that "pi" is the ratio of circumference to diameter. hut that did not help me in thi s case. (To be honest. it has never helped tHe .) But ·addi tion had leaked out of my brain, along with subtract ion , mult ipl icat ion, long division. the "cosine." the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and most of the other things !learned in school. alt hough of course my brain has care fully preserved the follow ing jingle for Blylcreem hair ointment : " Brylcreem. a little ctab ' ll do ya Brylcreem. you ' II look so debonair But watch out. the ga ls" ll all pursue ya They 'll love to get their fin gers in your hair' " Which is a total lie: Touching Brylcree med hair is like sticking your hand into the nostril of a sick pig. But I di gress . My point is that I fin ally gave up on add ing my numbers and asked the bank teller. who added them with a c;llcu lator. which uses tiny computer chips, which were in vented during the Cold War. which we won . I am not saying thi s was TOTALLY because of my mathematics training: I am just sayi ng it was a f<~ctur. And that is why we must stress to our chi! • dre6 how import ant eduralion is. We must tell them: Study hard! Learn as much as you can' Because we. your parents. are getting stu pider by the day. We ' re experiencing massive Brain Leak<~gc . Soon even the commercial jingles will be gone. and our heads wi II actuall y implode.

If promises could purify, the federal government's Superfund pro~ram by now would have cleaned up every·haz;u-dous waste stte in the country, including two toxic hot spots in Clark County. . But only dollars can decontaminate earth and water made dangerous by decades of careless or criminal industrial prac· tices. 1\nd there are worrisome signs that Superfund may be getting shortchanged. A report issued last week by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group warns that the federal Environmental Protection Agency may be forced to slow cleanup or slacken oversight on 522 hazardous waste sites nationwide due to lack of fundin g .... . Superfund was created in 1980 under the premise that when the responsible polluter had gone bankrupt or skipped the country, cleanup would be financed by general taxes imposed on petroleum. chemicals and other contamination sources. However, those taxes have not been collected since 1995, and the fund 's $3.6 billion surplus has dwindled to almost nothing .... The Bush administration opposes reinstatement of taxes on polluting industries .... · . In effect, the administration is offering us a choice: subsidize polluters, or get used to cancer-causing chemicals in our water. That's not Superfund; it's just stupid.

"What normally happens is the retiring diocesan bishop has to call for a new election and the diocese forms a search committee," she said.

That is, all the other di ocesan bishops in the church.

Co a~:h Mike Tice 's cleverly titled plan to make Randy Moss feel want.--.,.---...., ed. a goal of throwing 40 percent of the. team's passes to his superstar wide receiver, was shelved midway through a trying 610 season. With the Vikings already going south in the standings, was arrested Moss Moss for bumping a traffic cop with his c·ur in late September. Without Cris Carter or uny other consistent pass-catching threat around to alleviate the double coveruge. Moss had to transform himself · into a possession receiver as well as a deep threat. He finished with a cureer-low seven tou<·hdowns despite 106 re~:eptions and struggled to fi!td a rhythm wllh 4uarterback Daunte Culpepper. who led the league with 32 turnovers. What's more. Moss wusn' t all that interested in the plan anyway. "I didn't really care mueh about the Randy Ratio when it was brought up," Moss said. "I just wanted to win.'' -· . ., . Moss, a native ofRanH, W.Va., and a former Marshall stm·, has mude as many headlines us anyone since he entered the NFL in 1998. He's as well-known for comments about playing hard when he feels like it and ofl'-thc-field ordeals as he is for an amuzing ability to separate from the secondary and haul in a 65-yard touchdown pass and leap high above the defense to make a tough catch in traflic. Something i ~ ditlerent this season, though. The Randy Ratio is in the Vikings ' rearview mirror, and so are - it seems - the other distractions that have accompanied Moss' neverdull t1rst live years in the league. Instead, everyone's talking about who's going to run the hall ·while Midmel Bennett is injured and whether the defense will be decenl enough to keep Minnesota competitive. "I c;m see the determination in everybody 's eyes, starting with the vetemns all the way down to the rookies,"--Moss saiJ . "We even have our owner tired up." \'es.

Kiesling, a 6~3 outside/middle hitter, showed some flashes of brilliance as a rookie in 65 games played. Fields said that Kiesling has also shown marked improvement during the off-season. "She's just improved tremendously, she's more aggressive and she's going after the ball better." The Redwomen have an outstanding group of freshman with loads of talent and potential that have the future looking bright for Rio volleyball. Jessica Veach (Jackson ), Melissa Doss (Eaton), Lindsay Urton (Cincinnati). Danielle Thomas (Wheelersburg) and Brittny Henry (Jackson) represent the future as well as an important part of the present. Henry, a 5-2 setter/outside hitter, a walk-on, has grabbed the attention of Fields. "She is a hustler," Fields said. "She's not going to let anything hit the floor and she's not a bad hitter, even though she's so small." Thomas will see time as a defensive player and back-up setter. "She is very, very scrappy," Fields noted. D~ss could be the ~rown jewel of the group. She ts a 6-2 true mtddle blocker, a position that has plagued the Redwomen in the recent past. "This is probably the first true middle that I can honestly say we have had," Fields said. "Most of the people we have brought as middle, did not understand middle, she understands the game and the position." "We ' re very impressed with her," she added. Lindsay Urton, a 5-11 outside hitter with tremendous leaping ability, is also beginning to come into her own . "She was a little backward at first, but lately is showing that she's got some talent," Fields said. Urton is a tremendous jumper hitting five feet. five inches in the high jump while a senior as Lockland High School. Veach could have the toughest chore of any of the newcomers. The 5-9 setter is in the unenviable position of replacing the departed Jessica Wheeler, who led the 2002 squad in games played ( 11 2), digs (323) and assists (4.2 apg.). "She's (Veach) another one that knows the game," Fields said. "She has super hands and understands what should be done." The non-conference schedule is once again, very tough, and the AMC slate will be as competitive as ever. The Red women open up, August 22-23, at the University of MichiganDearborn Early Bird Classic with two perennial NAIA powers, Taylor (Ind.) and Bellevue (Neb.). "They're strong teams," Fields said. ."But that's O.K., we need to start strong." There are four keys for the Redwomen to have the success this season, staying healthy, communication on the court, leadership and team chemistry. "We're in shape, we've gone hard (in practice), we've got kids that we can go hard with, Fields said. "If we can by injuries, if we can talk on the floor, we've ~ot to talk, because we are so young, we don t know one another and another key will be our leadership," Fields said. "I think the chemistry of. the team is great, they seem to be getting along well and that is always a key." The home opener for the Redwomen is 6 p.m. Sept. I 8 verses Mountain State.

Moss ' LOS ANGELES (AP) - Matt Leinart is ready to ,t~p in at Southern California. The same goes for Brock Berlin at Miami, Matt Kegel at Washington State and Chance Mo.:k at Texas . · Who are these guys? They' re the starting quarterbacks at their respecti ve schools entering the 2003 season. replacing a qu~trtet of standout signal-callers who manned the position wi th . excellence in recent years. "That's the fun part of coaching college football - you don 't have a Steve Young for 10 years." USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow said. "You have to have another guy ready." Whether or not Leinart, Berlin. Kegel and Mock can do the job will soon be know n. If not, someone else will get a shot. A third-year sophomore, Leinart succeeds Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer. The first pass Leinart throws Aug. 30 in the season-opener at Auburn will be the tirst of his career. "I've sat the last two years behind Carson- it\ finally my turn to step in there and fill his shoes:· said Leinart, who like Palmer is tall and rangy. 'The last two years were like a blessing in disguise." Berlin, a fourth-year junior, didn't play last season after transferring from Florida to Miami. He follows Keit Dorsey -third in the Heisman voting two years ago and fifth last year. · "I don't think it is realistic \.1) think that he'll come in and be Ken Dorsey," Miami coach Larry Coker said. "I think potentially he has tremendous upside . But Brock h.ts had 15 days of coaching in our offense: Ken had four years. That's a tremendous difference."

"Even last year when I met him, I thought he was very mature," said No. 2 receiver D'Wayne Bates. "This year he's definitely showed a lot of maturity. I think he's been a lot more quiet. Most of the stuff he does is on the field. Off the field, he kind of does his own thing. No one really sees him until practice and meetings." Moss made a big impression by faithfully attentling the Vikings· offseason strength and conditioning program , addin g about five pounds of muscle to his 6-foot-4. 205-pound frame and setting an example along the way as a legitimate leader.

Making the breakup even harder is the fact they must see each other for . another year. a much-too-visible reminder .that the good times are all but over. They're the teams that were lett behind the football-playing Big East Conference schools that are picking up the pieces of their shart!'red relationship with Mian1i and Virginia Tech. It wa.~ a union that brought much attention and consider· able riches to all. only to end when the .Hurric<mes and Hokies ran ofl' with a wealthier suitor from the South. After one more Big East season. the con· ference 's two .most successful football members will bolt for the Atlantic Coast · Conference. That will force Pittsburgh. Syracuse, Boston College; West Virginia, Rutgers and Connecticut to go murting. bur only after they decide whether to go through a breakup of their own. As he pondered the uncertainty and apprehension that faces the Big East at a key juncture of irs existence. ~oston College football coach Tom 0 Bnen summed up the feelings of those left behind. . " Are we going through marriage counseling''"' he asked at the recent Big East preseason gathering. "Or are we gmng to have a divorce')" Even as Miami is packing its bags. the lawsuit fi led against the school <md the . ACC by Connecticut. Pittsburgh. Rutgers and West Virginia is continuin~ through the discovery stage. The lawsuit aTleges Mmnu lied to the Big Ea~t schools about 1ts negotiations with the ACC and acted agaonst the best interests of the conference while still a member. No matter what happens with the lawsuit. the . Big East is res t ~ned to losong the Hurricanes and Hok1es and already 1s focusing on which schools will rcpla~e them. Before that decision is made. the conference that reshaped the college bas· ketball world in the 1980s wtth 1ts stm1eg1c alliance of Eastem superpowers may jettison some of the very schools that helped accelerate its mpid ascension.

While there aren't any Miamis to gmb, Long said, "We believe we will be able to . find some Virginia T~hs, schools that _w11l be taken into the conference and grow !rom within." Still, as Connf(;ticut athletic director Jeff Hathaway said, "There's not a mag1cal answer." The replacement schools must be chosen in a hurry because the BCS system w1ll be re-evaluated beginning a year from now, even though the current plan wil,l stay in place through 2005. The B1g East s pnma· ry task is to preserve its •tatus as one of the SIX conferences guaranteed of sending at least one school to a major bowl. The financial implications should the BCS c,lecide to replace a weakened Big East with the Mountain West Conference. tor example, would be staggering. Last year. the B1g East realized just ove_r $20•mlhon in bowl revenue, all but one-!Jfth ot 1t I rom Miami's $16.5 million payday in the Fiesta Bowl. By comparison. Conference USA. to which Louisville and Cmcmnatl now belong, received only $4.78 million in bowl revenue. Long, a fonner assistant athletic director at Oklahoma. is a relative newcomer to the East, but he cannot see the BCS abtmdon· ing some of the nation's largest TV markets by shunning the Big East. "I have a strong sen.~ the Bis E~~st will be a part of It m 2006, Long smd. About 50 percent of the population 1s 111 the Eastern time zone, and the highest concentration of TV homes is in the Northeast, It would be very difficult to have a BCS sys· tern that leaves out a signitlcant portion of the countty." . Economics are certain to shape many ot the Big East's decisions in th~ next year. and nut just because ABC and ES PN are all but certain to seek g1vebacks on the $15 million-a-season football rights contract that runs through 2007. The conference already is getting less TV money in basketbaiL The Big East was paid nearly $10 million by ESPN for its basketball nghts each ol the last two seasons, but the conference wiH get only $7 million this season - a loss of about $200,000 per schooL The lower rights reflect the sleep drop in regular-season mtings in the last decade.

Matt Kenseth brushes aside talk that his steadiest of seasons could lead to NASCAR changing the way it awards point's in the series standings. Kenseth, who has built a 258-point lead over Dale Earnhardt Jr. with 14 races left, seems a lock for the champi· onship. The 31-year-old driver "kind of expected" some chatter about points. "No matter what, they 've got to find something to talk about, I guess," he said . Kenseth's crew chief, Robbie Reiser, chuckled during lunch between test sessions at Darlington Raceway. No one, he said, discussed changing the system last year when the No. 17 Ford was col· lecting more trophies than anyone else. Only now has it come up, Reiser said, with Kenseth regularly extending his margin while others celebrate wins . "Either way, you can't win, I guess," Reiser said. · Unless you change your style, the way Kenseth did. He knew after last season that despite the victories, he didn't have enough high finishes to win the series crown. And he said sn when asked if his wins should have brought him closer to champion Tony Stewart in the final standings. "I said no," Kenseth said. "I said, 'We won five races. but this is a 36-race schedule and in the other races we didn't do a good enoug~_job to be conSistent enough. This year, no one has been more consistent as Kenseth's Roush Racing team. His one victory was the UAW-Daimler Chrysler 400 at Las Vegas on March · 3. Kenseth took the points lead the next week with a fourth at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He has had 14 top-10 finishes since then to cement a growing lead Kenseth's worst showing in that stretch was 22nd at Martinsville's Virginia 500 in April. Kenseth said the points system needs "to reward a team that makes its bad days a 15thplace finish and not its bad days a 40th-place finish.

Cl Ohio Outdoors Conservation groups worry about loss of wildlife habitat BY MATT MAIIKEY For the Associated Press NEW RIEGEL- About as long as anyone can remember, the right of way along Ohio's major routes, stale highways and county roads - that narrow swath of grassy area that separates the pavement from the corn field - has been kept cut short and trim like a Marine recruit's first haircut. The purpose of roadside mowing has always been twofold: to maintain a safe line of vision in areas wl!ere traffic converges · and to keep the roadsides neat, trimmed and well-kept. "Oncoming traffic, especially smaller cars, can be blocked from your vision by weed growth that is not trimmed," said Ron Kear, trailsportatioa administrator for Hancock: County in northwest Ohio. But more and more, conservation gtoups in Ohio are expressing their contention that most of this roadside mowing is · one ritual of summer that we could live without. Where visibility and safety is a concern, by all means mow. they say, but leave the other 99 percent of the roadsides alone. "What we have seen over the last 25 or 30 years is the disappearance of almost all of our fence rows and tree 1ines and other areas along our fields where wildlife could make a home," said Glenn Gillig of the Seneca County Chapter of P~easants Forever, an international conservation group. "A lot of times that 15-foot-wide strip between the edge of the road and the farmers field is all that wildlife has. "If we mow it, we destroy their nests, ;~nd a lot of times we destroy the wildlife, too." As farming methods ·have changed, most of the areas that Ohio's wildlife called home have disappeared. Corporate farming, the demands of the marketplace, the use of larger equipment and the bottom line of the business have all played a role in making much of farming a "road-to-road" operation. The idle stubble fields, the heavily wooded boundaries and the ribbons of cover that used to provide a haven for dozens of species of birds and small mammals have been removed to maximize the production on the land. As the fence rows and tree lines disappeared, the wildlife got squeezed into what little cover remained, often the grassy areas along the ditches and roadsides. Gillig said that when he was growing up on a farm in Seneca County, the endless miles of fence rows and other habitat were · more or less taken for granted. "There was cover everywhere, so the fact that roadsides were being mowed was not an issue 25 years ago," he said. "Today, that picture has changed completely." In some counties and townships, roadside mowing by government entities is held off until late June or early July to allow the nesting birds and aninials a chance to rear their young. Along secondary roads - the conn try roads mowing often is done by private parties just trying to keep the frontage area neat and presentable. "We will not mow the backsides of the roadside ditches until July 15 in order to give nesting birds a chance to raise their young," Kear said. "That is a part of our policy now. "But we hear complaints from the farmers that they want those ditches mowed to keep the noxious weeds controlled. So we get into a conflict here between the forces who want the mowing curtailed, and those that want to see us mow more.'' Conservation groups say they have long sought the voluntary cooperation of both government and private citizens. They expect to push the Legislature soon for mandatory restrictions. They say that as the state and local governments are struggling with budget problems and funding cuts, millions of dollars are being spent on equipment, fuel and work hours to conduct roadside mowing. "We are just fighting to change something that has been done a certain way for generations and that is very hard to do, no matter how much sense the change makes," Gillig said. · Step right up ·and listen to the folks who make the fair come alive ''I ju~t; started working one day. and /lik~d it.

"The road is not hard on a marriage if the wife takes the money," he said. Elaine Webb, 50, has made all sorts of · carnival food for at least 15 years. Her skill with elephant ears and funnel cake would rival the great chefs of Europe. Each day, she makes hundreds of cakes that satisfy the hunger of children of all ages eager for something sweet to eat. "Homemade sweet bread dough is the secret," said Webb as she carefully rolled out the dough. Webb works only during the summer for · extra money. During the rest of the year, she works for the Vinton County School system. Webb said she can make between $4,000 and $5,000 a summer at this job. "There can be goqd money at this, but it depends on how busy you are," she said. Webb travels with the carnival and is staying in a motel during the Meigs County Fair.

It would be difficult to imagine ANYONE waiting fifty years for their •·one true love" in this day and age' Dearh in Summer is another unappealing title for a good book. This is by William Trevor, who also wrote Tile Story of Lucy Gault. reviewed in an earlier column. I now want to read everything .this author has written! The story begins with the accidental death of young wife and mother. Leticia was hit by an automobile while out doing errands o n her bicycle. Thaddeus is left puzzled and bereft with a baby daughter, Georgina. He advertises for a nanny and gets several unsuitable appli- cants. His mother-in-law volunteers to come and care for the child. A parallel story tells of Albert, a retarded orphan caring for an invalid landlady and cleaning graffiti from the subway, and his friend, Pettie, who is an unbalanced young woman who gets crushes on unsuitable older men. Pettie is the last applicant for the baby-sitting job. She is turned down. but develops a crush on Thaddeus. She dreams of their being together, of how she will care for the baby, of how inadeq11ate the grandmother is for the task. Actually, three deaths occur during that unfortunate summer. This is a fascinating picture of tragic lives, how we never know how ours may intersect with someone we bare ly know. Some damaged children become damaged adults and suffering follows. coming sometimes to totally innocent people. Have you ever wondered how kidnappers and murderers and the mentally unbalanced become who they are? Trevor creates believable characters through superb writing. Short book, too, omly 2 14 pages. He says a lot with an economy of words, a rare feat these days, when it seems authors must get paid by the word, as Charles Dickens did.

(AP) Until a few years ago the thought of chilled soups sent shivers down my spine. Though I have no distinct memory of it. I assume my distaste developed following a particularly watery, tasteJ~ss gazpacho. Or it. could have been one of those oh-sochic pureed melon "dessert soups" with aJI the appeal of melted sorbet. Either way. I'd had enough and decided my soups should be steaming. . My conviction held until I joined a friend for lunch one hot day. This kindly elderly woman had gone to great effort to make a chilled carrot and ginger puree. Too polite to push it away. I tentatively tasted. What a revelation. While ..:ool and refreshing, it lacked that raw bite that can so easily ruin chilled soups made fro m otherwise good ingredients. My host shared her secret: While most chilled soups are made by chopping or pureeing raw ingredients, her dish is gently heated until the cartots are tender and the ginger permeates the broth. Wanting to test my theory that it was the rawness, not the temperature, that bothered me ab9\lt chilled soups, I made a batch of gazpacho that called for no cooking. As suspected, no cooking meant no taste. Then I ordered the same dish at a restaurant that simmers then chills its gazpacho. Heaven! The tomatoes and -onions had, tooth, but the heat had tempered their edge and allowed the seasonings and olive oil to blossom before the soup had been chilled . Puri sts may complain, arguing that true gazpacho involves no cooking. But there is no shame in preferring that your gazpacho make a pit stop at the stove on the way to the refrigerator. · Plus. the purists would be wrong, at least partly. In some areas of Spain during winter, gazpacho is served not only simmered, but hot. With t.he heat-flavor dilemma solved, I started searching for new soup recipes that use heat during preparation, but keep things cool for serving on hot summer evenings. Enter chilled zucchini soup with white truffle oil from the Thank You Norris Northup Dodge for buying my , 2003 Market Hog recent cookbook by Carolyn Wente and Kimball Jones, "The Casual Vineyard Table" (Ten Speed Press, 2003, $19.95). This thick, rich soup takes advantage of summer's zucchini abundance. It gets body from cream cheese, a bit of bite from wine and a nice mouth tee! and finish from white truffle oil. Macadamia nut oil can be used in place of white truffle oil with this recipe. For budget-minded cooks, olive oil is another option. This dish also is versatile. The recipe calls for simmering the zucchini in water before pureeing them with the other ingredients, but roasting or grilling would work nicely. .too (and would provide a smoky flavor). If you don't do dairy, soy margarine and soy cream cheese can be substituted, though they won't give the soup the same creamy consistency. Try adding extra oil to compensate.

Joa Associated Press C ombine a sports car with a convertible and what do you get? If it's Porsche's 911 Carrera Cabriolet, the answer is easy: Twice the driving enjoyment. You don't have to be a Porsche fan to enjoy thi s nimble, small, sporty car with a starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $79.165. Pan of Porsche's 911 line, the Cabriolet has a fully automatic power roof that convertible lovers can quickly come to appreciate. All a dnver has to do is push a button, and the side windows go down on their own, the top releases and folds back automatically, and even the boot, or cover, for the top slides briskly into place without any need for the driver to gel out of the car or fuss; • Putting the top up is merely the reverse process and, again, is done with one push of a button. If a driver is a sports car enthusiast, too, the Carrera Cabriolet offers a speedy ~i ' ''; 1\ ride, thanks to a 315-horsepower, 3.6-liter. double overhead cani, horizontallyopposed six cylinder that's at the back of the car.

A six-speed manual was the transmission in the Carrera Cnbrio tester, and its short throws and easy-to-find gears made shifting a pleasure. The clutch did require a good amount of effort, however, and this made congested, stop-and-go ttaflic u chore. Porsche also oilers a five speed automatic wit h Tiptronic. which lets drivers shift gears without using a cluich pedal. Jaguar's XKR is not offered with a manual transmission. The Acura NSX is available with six-speed manual or four-speed automalic with Sequential SportShift. There are seats fur four, sort of, inside the Carrera Cabrin. Basically, the back two are mini'-sized with very upright back cushions.
