(AP) Descendants of Daniel Boone are furious over Kentucky's decision to drop the frontiersman's name from a mountain highway and give that honor to the area's congressman. "This is a slap in the face to Daniel Boone and the, entire Boone family," said Rochelle Cochran, president of the Boone Society, a national group of descendants of the famous explorer. "You may as well melt down the Libeny BelL Do we not care about our history, about . our founding fathers?" Gov. Paul Patton's spokesman, Rusty Cheuvront, acknow !edged Friday that the changing of the Daniel Boone Parkway · to the Hal Rogers Parkway came at the governor's rec- · ommendation. And Kentucky 's transportation secretary only angered descendants further by saying it was about time the state started honoring some new heroes. "There are no bears to slay, nor gaps to discover on treks to the West, so the heroes of our time follow new paths to greatness," Transportation Secretary James Cadell Ill wrote in a letter to the Boone Society. He added: "As events unfold and the present becomes the history of tomorrow, it becomes appropriate to honor those persons who are the heroes of today." Rogers, a Republican from Somerset, has represented eastern Kentucky in Congress for 23 years and helped obtain the $13 million in federal funding that allowed the staie to eliminate tolls on the parkway. "Maybe Congressman Rogers is more well-known than I thought, but I had never heard of him before this came up," said Cochran, a resident of Hot Springs, Ark., who claims to be a distant niece in Boone's lineage. "If the congressman had it incomprehensible how this could happen in the state that Boone himself opened up to settlement. The rugged, buckskin-clad explorer's place in the history of Kentucky is · indeed legendary. Boone, who lived from 1734 to 1820, built his reputation as the model of the American frontierSman in the 1770s for hacking out the Wilderness Road, which led early settlers across the Appalachian Mountains to points west , and helping defend early encampments from Indians. I van Lancaster, a Boone descendant from Trafalgar, Ind., said Rogers is not the one at fault in this situation. even though he could· have de'clined the honor. "I kind of feel like he is a victim of this, too, in a way," Lancaster said. "The people who decided to honor Mr. Rogers were not thinking· straight. They did him a great disservice, and they certainly did a disservice to Daniel Boone." thought about it, it .would have been a smart political move to decline havin~ his name on the highway.' she said. "It would have made· him look so much more like a stiuesman, rather than just a politician who brought home the pork." A Rogers' spokesman said Friday that the congressman would have no further comment. His only public statement on the issue was that he was honored and humbled to have the highway for him. A named spokesman for Patton said he was traveling Friday and unavailable for comment. Since the decision was made in June, all the Daniel Boone signs along the 60mile, two-lane road through rugged mountain forest have been replaced with Hal Rogers signs. The Boone Society is hoping it's not too late to put it back the way it was. It has launched a public relations campaign and released a statement of its own calling .. :Sunny weather settles in Congressman's ·son : : By The Associated Press : : Today ...

State's DAYTON (AP) - City officials faced with tight finances are considering cutting hay and oats from their bottom line. Horse patrols are at risk of being eliminated or have been cut in cities across the country, despit~ their popularity. Some ClUes consider horse patrols a luxury, said Sgt. Alell Wynnyk, of the U.S. Park Police in Washington D.C., who trains mounted patrols. "Chiefs probably feel they can get more out of an officer for their dollars if they put guys in a cruiser or on a scooter,'' Wynnyk said. The fate of Dayton. Police Sgt. Scott Stimmel's six" horse unit that has been in operation since 1989 is uncertain as the City Council determines the best way to keep the budget balanced while increasing pay for city workers. The unit costs $19,000 a year, minus officer salaries. The city says disbanding the patrol would provide two more officers to patrol the streets. It takes the equivalent of two officers working fulltime to care and feed the horses, said city spokesman Tom Biedenham. . "They are obviously a pop- · ular attraction with the community. It is obviously a sensitive and difficult decision to make," Biedenharn said. Denver and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., officials also are considering cutting their horse patrols for budget reasons. And in the past two years. mounted patrols m Atlanta; Chattanooga, Tenn.: Aspen, Colo.; Crystal River. . Fla.; and Binningham, Mich., ' have been eliminated. : In .Fort Lauderdale, the · mounted unit used to control : crowds on the beach is facing elimination after 20 years of service. City Commissioner Carleton Moore said it costs . about $1 00,000 a year lo : maintain the horses and that : it is more cost efficient for : officers to patrol in cars. · "The issue is really how do : we balance the budget and get the most for our dollars?" · he said. City officials have been . bombarded with phone calls : and e-mails urging them to keep the mounted patrol. "I don 't think that is an :appropriate way to cut our : expenditures," said : Commissioner Dean • Trantalis. "We're a tourist :community, and we need to ~ make it a more inviting and • friendly place and not one that is going to tum people off." The commission plans to : make a decision in • September. · In Denver, artist William · Matthews started a campaign to save the horse patrol after :the mayor in June proposed · cutting it. · .

"We recognize th!U rdles of heroin use and addiction are going up," said Harvey Siegal, director of the Center for Interventions, . Treatment and Addictions Research at Wright State Univer.;ity's School of Medicine. The state is reviewing reports of wai ting lists of heroin addicts at methadone clinics to determine whether to expand treatment." said · Stacey Frohnapfel Hasson. spokeswmnan for the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services . "One of the options may be the possibility of expansion," said Hasson. Hasson said the agency ha' sent teams to the state's nine methadone clinics to evaluate the need. She said the visits will be completed by Sept. 3 and the results discussed with at G!lfY Tester, who was appointed agency director last month. l'<lken daily, n-ethirl:n: cmnically blocks an ~·s cravings frr l'l!fOin, rruphine am ck.er ~· In Columbus, there is a twoyear waiting list for methadone treatment. The Columbus Dispatch reported last month . that some addicts have resorted to paying $50 for a dose on the street - medication a clinic can dispense of for about $8 a day. Hasson said that if a decision is made to expand the amount of methadone made available, it would involve a reallocation of the agency's funds - not increased furxling. Nationally. the num ber of people seeking treatment for heroin addiction has nearly doubled in the past decade, according to federal statistics. · Critics say methadone treatment enables addicts to trade one drug for another. Ideally. methadone doses are gradua 1ly reduced until the palienl is drug-free. But this can often take years, and some addicts never break free of their dependence on methadone. In the past two years, 28 people in Fnmklin County have died of methadone overdoses. Tester said these developments lend some urgency to his desire for a broad review of treatment approaches. -8:00PM • 216 West Main Dayton mounted police officer Dave Klosterman patrols downtown Dayton on his horse. Jake, Thursday, July, 31. The city's mounted patrol may soon be history. Due to falling tax revenues, city officials are thinking of disbanding the six-hqrse unit. (AP Photo) created a Web site ur~ing residents to lobby city officials. "There's a whole grassroots effort to save our unit," said Sgt. Troy Zimmerman, supervisor of mounted patrol. "But it's not looking good for us." The city is facing a $47 million deficit this year. Stimmel previously worked in the Dayton department's drug and violent crime units and he said worl<ing the mounted unit adds another element to policing. "It rejuvenated me when l came out on the street and got to see the people from this aspect," he said. "Instead of dealing with all of the criminals and the rogues all the time, I got to do this." Stimmel said that unlike cruisers, horses promote interaction with the public as people come to pet the animals. In addition. they are an asset in crowd control. Officers have greater visibility sitting on top of horses and can skirt around traffic and get through narrow spaces. he said. Jerry Hauer, who has put a water trough for the horses outside hi s downtown music store, has written Dayton officials urging them not to abolish the horse patrol. He said he would be willing to raise the money to feed and care for the horses if it would save the unit. '' It 's worth every penny they spend on it," Hauer said. "It 's a great image for downtown. You don't find horse patrol s out at the malls." Biedenharn said that if the horse patrol is disbanded, the horses would be returned to lhe people who donated them or given away. Sgt. Leo Scully, superintendent of a two-year-old mounted patrol unit in Washington D.C., said cities should reconsider plans to eliminate horse patrols. He said his unit initially was a tough sell to many Washington . officials who were concerned about the expense. But , "they underestimated how the citizens would embrace thi s unit," Scully said. "The police are almost getting too lechnical. We're making it impersonal. The horses keep it personal." 6allip.Qlls ta ~a~rr rnJ!e9te · 'Careersclose7o RO'me" -1:40PM Maklthl CIUid c•an11 Yourlllll Web Address: .,.,...\o•l_o.... www.galtipoliscareercollege.com \ ' ! ~ 1 ·~ ~ Ema1l: gcc@ga lllpollscareercoll egB com 'IVl'INGI ACCOUHTIMG II POLISCt SprlnQ Valley Plaza • Gallipolis, Ohio • • Visit McDonald's of Pomeroy's New Treats Counter concept, featuring a treat counter separate from the restaurants main front counter area.

We must now take the opponunity to oom:ct some issues that were misstated. · The F.O.P. contract was ~igned in November 1998. Two months later, in January of 1999, a two-year elltension was granted to the current contract. Its date of expiration is October 2003. The extension, as you can see, did not take place after we decided not to negotiate with AFSCME in 2001. This elltension occurred with the knowledge of the Commission that was in office at the time. Mr. Moore and myself were not members at the time and it should be noted that we were still a "City." We hai:l yet to receive the results of the 2000 Census, which made us a "Village." We still remain a Charter City but by becoming a Vtllage our financial stability becomes jeopardized. Our City Employees are some of the finest people we know and work hard every day to bring services to our citizens. : Tough decisions had to be made in order to keep these services at a functional level. All of thoSe who voted not to recogpize the AFSCME union had over 70 years of union membership. This decision was not to win a popularity contest or to get elect· ed but to ensure that our hard-working employl!es have jobs and are able to put food on the table for their families. : Our employees have a voice jn the work place and have rarely ever complained about benefits or how they have been treated. The .reality of the si~tion is this, we are now a "Village" and as such we have lost thouands of dollars in funding from the State of Ohio. . A commissioner's duty and responsibility is to maintain as high a level of services as possible and spend our lalt dollars wisely. Here is some of the rationale used in our decision not to recognize the Unions in our CityNtllage.. I. As a Village we are no longer covered under Ohio's Public Sector Collective Bargaining Law. This means that there is no Legal duty to bargain. 2. Without Revised Code4ll7, there is no State Agency to oversee the bargaining process: There is no dispute resolution. If we have a strike, there is no way to use 4117.04 to end the strike. ' for 3. Without 4117.04, the "Vtllage" has no authority to contract binding arbitration. • 4. The "Village" could not legally contract with a union unless it can certify funds to be sufficient to cover ALL contractual expenses, Revised Code 5705.41. Should we guess what those costs are? 5. As a "Village" we could not negotiate salaraies because that power is reserved to the City Commission under Section 33 of the Charter. As the status of the City, changed we made the determination that we needed to address the financial issJJes sooner than later. Mr. Clarke initiated cost savings before he left office and with the hard wort of Mr. Gordon and Ms. Landers, staff and depanment heads, we balanced our budget for the first time in recent history. Please continue to question the motives of your commissioners, they at times are contrary to what you elected them to do, to be ~nancially responsible. Just look around and see how devastating this economy has been to other local communities. There are many more reasons for having made the decision that we made not to recognize the unions in our City. Please call me at any time and I will be happy to discuss this issue with you. We would also be glad , to speak with any organiUllion relating to this matter or any other issue within the City. : (Ga ry Fenderbosch is president of' the Gallipolis City Commission.

Sunday,August24,2003 ~allj(ornia "And Califomia dreami11' is becomin~ ·a rea/in·." · The Mamas and the Papas It is truly pathetic to see Democrats and Republicans alike try to spin the blackout and the California Recall . The truth is that neither party has embraced energy conservation, and both have sold out to special interests. The GOP has allowed energy deregulation pirates to maximize profits at the expense of the folks . For example. deregulators laid off about 800 workers at the Mohawk plant in upstate New York. leaving the workforce there as thin as a fiber optic line. And, oh. yeah. don't mention any high-tech gizmos to the deregulators who prefer to run power plants the old· fashioned way: with tinfoil. The Democrats. on the other hand. have bowed before the greens, who want to go back to candlelight and stagecoaches. No drilling. no fossil fuel. no nuclear plants. no anything. and don 't you dare disturb , the caribou! Then. when the lights go out. Hillary Clinton and her pals are runnin g around pointing lingers. Is anybody besides Sean Penn buyi ng that c ha· rude? · , Out in California, the spin is even more dizzying. Gray Davis has now thought up an eltcuse for bankrupting the state: The people passed so many ta x-and-spend initia- Bill O'Reilly ti ves that he had no room to maneuver. So why is it that four years ago. California had a $1O-bi Ilion surplus. Governor'? Those same ini tiatives were in place. Next. Davis will be telling us California had to pay for invading Iraq. The reason Californians · passed so many initiatives in the tirst place is that the peopie can't trust the politicians to do the right thi1Jg . Looting the treasury is now a parlor ga me in Sacramento with elected officials buying as many votes as they can. and the folks be damned. Just listen to this: Califomia spends an astou nding $6 billion a year on K-li public education. There are approximately six million kids in the system, That's about $ 10.000 per studt;nt. And the Los Angeles school system still can't stop social promotion. Ten grand a kid . and hund reds of thousands of them can't pass. The solution : more money. of course. California is the first state to collapse under the weight lessons of political correctness run wild. If you are an illegal alien in the Golden State. the authorities will not report you to the federal government but will spend more than $100 million giving you food. If you earn less than $40.000 a year. there's a good chance the state will pay health insurance for your kids. That perk costs the taxpayers another $~ 00 million. I could go on and on. but the point is that the working people of Cali fornia cannot provide the monev for all of the spending: it's · as simple as that. Many Americans are Cali fornia dreamers believing that public money can heal all ill s. Most entitlement programs have noble intentions, but with private hous. ing and other costs out of sight. the working folk s just can't keep up . More than 800.000 people left Cali fornia ·last year. and it's not because they didn't like the weather. Some clueless Democrats are still running around promising to so lve everyone's problems with cas h. This is a lie . It cannot be done. On the other side. Republicans say the "trickle· down" approach will revive the ecooomy. This is deb<llable . but at least the Bush administration is giving back some money to the fo lks. Once the economy rev1ves. the Bu sh people know tax revenues will rise. so that's why they are pushing the tax cut "for the rich." The polls show that even many poor people aren't buying the class warfare stuff anymore. We are all in this together. When the power we nt off eve rybod y got hosed. and when AI Qaeda strikes it doesn't matter what vour tax bracket is. · As with most things in life. we ha·ve now been warned. The collapse of California's political system, the blackout and 9-1 1 before that ha ve all been signals sent. We Americans better wise up and start electing people who have a sense of urgency about protecting us and solving problems. For Americans remaining in the dark is simply not an option anymore. Let there be light.

In what was the closest game of the series thus far, Eastern escaped Rebel Field with a nail biting 14-6 victory, it's fifth straight, over South Gallia. The game saw five combined fumbles and ISO yards worth of penalties, but Frid:iy's season opener was ullimately decided inside the South Gallia red zone. Out of five visits, the Rebels came away with just six points. Twice South Gallia fumbled the ball away and was twice turned away on downs. "That's definitely what happened to us tonight - missed opportunities,' said a disappointed South Gallia coach Justy Burleson. "We have to eliminate mistakes, we have to hold on to the football. Fumbles will kill you." But the errors were not unforced . The Eastern defense had much to do with the South Gallia red zone woes. Eastern's T}'ler Winebrenner stripped away the football inside the I0-yard line in the first quarter and Ken Amsbary forced another South Gallia fumble inside the five, that one corning with around four minutes remaining in the fourth. Eastern coach Pat Newland was pleased with the way his defense responded and protected the lead. "I can really tell a difference this year, when they get the ball inside the 20, the I 0 it doesn't matter, these kids rise to the occasion," he said. "A lot of people made big plays that helped us win the game tonight. There were a lot of mistakes made, but those were the same kids that came back and made big plays."

Workman ended the game as the leading Rebel rusher with 20yards. The Rebels advanced the ball to inside the Eagle I0, and had a ftrst and .goal from the eight. However, the drive stalled thanks in large pan to a holding call and a seven-yard loss on a toss play gone bad. "(There were) a lot of missed assi~nments,. I think part of that ts due to the fact that we have a lot of new faces," said Burleson. "There's a wond of difference between a scrimmage where you have 50 or I00 people watching and (tonight) where you had several hundred watching you. Sometimes their brain cells don't react they way coaches would like them to," South Gallia attempted a field goal, but a problem with the exchange between the snapper and holder resulted in a busted play. . After failing to register a ftrst down on it's initial possession, Eastern put together a I 0play, 83-yard drive that ate up half of the second quarter to draw first blood.

COLUMBUS - Ohio State was 3-0 withoui Maurice Clarett during the Buckeyes run to the national championship last year. Now they' ll have to play without him again . Clarett was suspended from the te am for "multiple games" on Frid:~J for his role in an exaggerated theft report. Yet with the suspension Clarett was· allowed to begin practicing with the team. He was held out of the team 's first 23 preseason practices because of eligibility question s. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and athletic director both declined to be specific when asked how lon g a "multiple-game suspension" was . "I don 't know the exact definition of multiple," Tressel said. Asked if the suspension could be for tl)e whole season, he said, "I don ' t know that. I suppose." Geiger said, :·Multiple means multiple." Told that the word multiple was vague, he said, "We used a good word then." Clarett, who rushed for an Ohio State freshman record 1,237 yards last year, helped lead .the Buckeyes to the national championship. He scored the winning touchdown in Ohio State's 31-24 doubleovertime victory over defending champion Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan . 3. There were no guarantees that Clarett might even be buck for another bowl trip. Asked if he had been assured that Clarett would return at some point this season, Tressel said, "I haven't been assured of any thing." The university received several pages of allegations from the NCAA against Clarett on Thursday and discussed them with the sophomore on Friday. Clarett smiled and waved as he left almost three-hour long meeting at Ohio State's St. John Arena, accompanied by hi s grim-faced mother, Miechell e. and three attorneys . Clarett wore shorts , running shoes, a backwards San Diego Padres cap and a Bob Marley T-shirt that said, "No More Trouble" on the back . Clarett later watched the Buckeyes scrimmage at Ohio Stadium. The NCAA and Ohio State had been investigating Clarett's acknowledged overstatement of the value of items stolen in April from a vehide he borrowed from a loc al ~:ar dealership. In a police report, he said he lost items totaling more than $10,000 when thieves broke into the 200 I Chevrolet Monte Curio . The suspension was nnly fur non-academic ullegations, A I0-pcrson university panel probing charges of academic fraud involving Clurett is a completely separate and distinct investigation from that which led to his suspen sion on Friday. , "O ur next step is to mak e a reconHnendation to the NCAA wncerning the length of Maurice's suspension ," Geiger said. "Then, we wait for their repl(' Claret! was not avatlable to comment. "I'm just excited to see hi s face and to see him smile a little bit and to see how anxious Maurice is to be back with his guy s," Tressel said . ' O)lio State's action allows a suspended Clarett to return to the (eam and practice, even though he was not permitted to practice with the team when he was eligible and not suspended. He missed Ohio State's first 23 days of preseason practice. The second-ranked Buckeyes open the season Aug . 30 against No . 17 Washington . Kay Hawes, an NCAA spokeswoman, said the NCAA doesn' t have the authority to suspend Clarett and it is up to Ohio State to determine his eligibility. Clareu remains on scholarship. Classes resume Sept. 24 . Telephone messages were left seeking comment Friday at the Young,stown home of Clarett's mother and th e office . of his Columbus attorney, Scott Schiff. Geiger said he felt Clareu would be on the field for the Buckeyes again. Aske~ if he thought he would return thi s year, Geiger said. "I don't know that." After the NCAA begun looking into the exaggerated theft report from April, Tressel and Geiger said they would hold Clarett out of team activities "until and unless" hi s eligibility matters were resolved . Geiger said Ohio State was not in jeopardy of losing its national championship. He said no institutional penalties or sanctions were being discussed . Tressel said he felt a sense of guilt that one of his players had made mistakes . "A bsolutely," he said. "Anyone who feels strongly about what they do, when it doesn't go as well as they would like it . if you don't fee l bad about it then shame on you." 8Y BUTCH COOPER bcooper@ mydaitytribune .com GALLIPOLIS - A goal with I :29 left on the clock by Bryce Taylor . lifted Ohio Valley Christian to a 3-2 win over cross-town rival Gallia Academy Saturday in high school soccer action .

Questions and answers on the Clarett suspension BY RUSTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS Some questions and answers about the suspension of Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett: • Can he practice with the team? Yes. Even though he is suspended and cannot play in at least the Buckeyes' tirst two games, he is permitted to practice with the team. Previously, he had been held out of 23 days of preseason practice even though he was eligible and was not suspended. • How many games will he miss? Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger was purposely vague on the topic of how many games Clarett would miss. During Friday's news conference, Geiger said at one point that the process of ap~aling Clarett 's suspension m1ght take I0 days - meaning early in the week before the Buckeyes' second game . At another point, he said he could- n't say for sure if the sophomore would play for Ohio State this season. • Will Clarell be in uniform for the opener against Washington on Aug. 30'! Head coach Jim Tressel said he did not know because he had not had time to think about it. • Did Tressel read the NCAA's "several pages" of allegations against Clarett? He said he read bits and pieces. "Not really. poim by poim:. No. 1. can't say that we have. he smd. • Who will start in Clarett 's pla.:e ?

Last season. the Falcons and Browns ·were up, the Bears and Rams down. In 2003. the trend might end, simply because there were few teams bad enough in 2002 to make a shocking upward move.

Since the Pittsburgh Steelers' run of four titles in six years ended with a Super Bowl victory after the 1979 season, only three teams have won back-to-back titles: San Francisco in 198889; Dallas in 1992-93; and Denver in 1997-98, Jchn Elway's last two seasons.

As for new players. the biggest offseason tlurry was Was h'mgton •s rat"d on t he New York Jets . The Redskins, who have spent freely with little to show for 11 since Daniel Snyder bought the team in 1999, signed wide receiver Laveranues Coles, guard Randy Thomas. return man Chad Morton and kicker John Hall from New , York. The Jets could have retained Morton and Coles , their leading receiver last year. but didn't match . the otTers .. Other free agents of note to move were defen sive end Hugh Douglas from Philadelphia to Jacksonville; quarterback Jake Plummer from Arizona 10 Denver; wide receivers David Boston and Frank Sanders fo the Chargers and Colts, respectively, and veteran return man Brian Mitchell from the ·Eagles to the Giants. The Packers are one of those teams that prove the importance of scheduling in the second season of the new format of eight four-team divisions. They were an overinflated 12-4 in an NFC North where the other three teams, Detroit, Chicago and Minnesota, combined to win just 13 of their 48 games. Conversely, a strong divi st"on can be trouble for anyone who wants a wild-card berth - there are just two in each conference. Last year, for example, all four AFC East teams were .500 or better and so was the entire AFC West. In the East, the New York Jets , Miami and New England were at 9-7 and Buffalo at 8-8. The Jets won the division in a tiebreaker on the final day of the regular season and the Dolphins and Patriots missed the playoffs. In the West, Oakland fin ished 11-5 and made it all the way to the Super Bowl, where it lost 48-2 1 to the Bucs. Denver was 9-7 ·and Kansas City and San Diego were 8-8 and none made the postseason, One reason to like ·the Rams this year is that their non-division games are against the NFC and AFC North, two of the leag ue 's weakest divi sion s on paper. Two other NFC favorite s, the Gi ants and Eagles of the NFC East, play the NFC South and A~C East, two of the strongest. "Yes," a smiling Martz says. "That is. ve·ry~ much in our favor.

For the first time. every Sunday ni ght and Monday night will be in high -defini tion, plus a weekly CBS Sunday game in ·selected m.arkets. · Most playoff gtimes on ABC, CBS and ESPN are expected to be in HDTV. Why the rapid expansion, only a year after not a single NFL regular season game was in high-definition? Simple. Just as the driving force in real estate is location. location. location, in the TV indu stry it's picture, picture, picture. HDTV is the first technological breakthrough since the color set that has spurred millions to buy new TYs. "NFL games are such unscri pted drama, with a backdrop of stadiums filled with vibrant colors and enthusiastic fan s, it 's a touchdown for HDTV," said 'Brian McCarthy. the NFL's director of corporate communication s. ··Jt 's very intense and it's very crisp." It 's also very startling for those who haven"t previously watched a ga me in highdefi nition. The picture is six times more detailed than those on traditional analog sets and lacks the scan lines so vi sible when a viewer stands close to an analog TV. Tiny blemi shes invisible on normal screens are very evident in HDTV. lt"s a perfect picture. but never before will so many of the NFL's imperfections be seen by its fan s. , "Since HDTV gives you a wider shot of the field, you are able to see mo.re action," said Scott Kemper, an HDTV set owner in Lawrence, Kansas. "You can choose to watch the wide receiver lock up with the defensive back as they tight for position down the field. Or you can watch the safety adjust as the quarterback barks out the play at the line of scrimmage .... It make s watching football more realistic." It 's not just the picture that is better. but the sound, too: the technology also accommodates digital surround sound. a format familiar to moviegoers. As Rob MacKenzie of Alexandria, Va., said. "You are surrounded by the noise of the crowd, the action on the field, the PA announcements." Even in a society where changes in technology and popular culture that once took years now take only mohths. the rapid move to HDTV for NFL telecasts is a dramatic metamorphosis for America's most popular TV sport. Last season, only three playoff games and the Super Bowl were in HDTV. This season, there will be 60-plus HDTV games even before the playoffs, not counting lm:al productions such as the Eagles-Steelers game that was shown on Pittsburgh station KDKA's digital channel. "We think the high-detinition games will further drive consumer acceptance of the technology, just as the NFL has a long standing tradition of doing so." McCarthy said. "In the '60s, it was expanding the game nationally with the networks. In the 1970s, it was 'Monday Night Football." In the 1980s, it was the NFL on cable on ESPN. In the 1990s, it was DirecTV and satellite.

Marlin 's luck ran out almost a year ago, when a broken vertebra snapped his shot at hi s fir st .Winston Cup title. · Since then it's been a string of blown motors, broken parts, tire troubles and bad timing that have . prevented Marlin from repeating his near-dream season. A year ago, he led the series ·points .standings for 25 consecutive : weeks, only to miss the final seven : races of the season after breaking a : vertebra in two hard wrecks' At the ' time he was sidelined, he had two : wins and 14 top-10 finishes. : ·Fast-forward to his comeback ; year, and Marlin has yet to make it · to Victory Lane.

"Last year, we did: n't wreck but two or three times ... : but we stayed out of trouble for the 1 most part. : "This year, we've had all kinds :of trouble." . It started at the season-opener :when Marlin was black-flagged for :driving below the yellow line at :Daytona.

It's been bad enough to demoralize the entire team, which probably didn't think things could ever be as bad as they were that tearful day last October when informed that ·Marlin was done for the year. "Sometimes it's hard to k_eep the guys up because we led the points 25 weeks last year and had won two races -by now and bu1'] t up a ton of momentum," McCall said. "But you 've got to keep everybody focu sed and motivated, because everybody is here to win races not to sit around and dwell on what has happened " . So they're now looking 'forward to a typically strong stretch qf the season for Marlin. He heads to his horne track in Bristol, Tenn., this ., D . wee kend, t hen II s on to ar 1mgton and Richmond, where he's always strong. Marlin particularly has his eye on the next two weeks.

If it's not there, McCall is confident he and Marlin will visit Victory Lane somewhere sometime soon "Woe go ·mt o every race knowmg · we are going to win," McCall said. "Otherwise, why show up?

" · ,l~ ·Ryan Newman, who said he ~a s · punc]led in the face while he sat in a Busch Series car a few years ago by Elton Sawyer and had a helmet tossed at him last year by Elliott Sadler, thinks there's still a place off the track where on-track incidents can be settled. "There's always a saying you can wait until afterward ' and follow the guy to the McDonald's drive-thru and take care of him there if you've got that big of a problem with him," Newman said. More and more drivers are thinking that way, following an example set by Winston · Cup champion Tony Stewart. Up until this year, Stewart was the baddest of NASCAR's current bad boy s. He threw his heat shields at Kenny Irwin after a wreck hi s rookie year, then reached into Irwin's car as it passed by under the ensuing ca ution flag and took a swing at him. Stewart also has gotten into a shoving match with Robby Gordon , slapped a reporter's tape recorder away, charged after a Winston Cup official and - perhaps the final straw - punched a photographer last year at Indianapolis. All of it led to numerous fines and several stints on probation, but never a suspension. But perhaps th t; worst penalty of all was the mu zzle Stewart feels he now needs to wear to keep his emotions, thou ghts and feelings in chec k. · "It's not worth it," he 's said. "It's a whole lot easier just to keep my mouth shut." NASCAR isn't saying why the sudden crackdown after years of letting bad behavior slide or be punished with .only a slap on the wrist. NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter did not return a telephone call Wednesday. In a sense, feud s like the one involving Spencer and Busch draw the mainstream atte nti on NASCAR seeks. For proof, look back to last year's awards ceremony, when NASCA R repeatedly showed cl ips , of Wallace and Jeff Gordon bumping and banging. . But NASCAR also wants to be considered a major league sport, and punches thrown in the NFL, NBA or major league baseball almost always leads to strict pe nalties. So the current competitors are sitting tight, unsure if it 's still acceptable to throw a helmet or toss a few nasty words ·at a competitor. "We've all been in a position where .we wished we could just go handle it in our own way because we didn ' t fee l like the sanctioning body was taking care of it - now they have taken care of it," said Dale Jarrett.

The decision to trade reliever Scott Sullivan for another prospect lert the Cincinnati Reds' clubhouse full of anger and tears. The Reds have made six trades since they fired general manager Jim Bowden and manager Bob Boone on JuIy 28, writing off the rest of their inaugural season at Great American Ball Park. The latest trade was one of the most painful for the players. Sullivan was a secondround draft pick in 1993. He developed mto one of the most dependable relievers in the majors and one of the leaders in the clubhouse. During a 9-3 loss in Arizona on Thursday night, the Reds <hipped Sullivan to the Ch1cago White Sox, along with some cash, for a player to be named. Starter Danny Graves heard about it on the bench when he came out for a pinch-hitter in .the sixth and got sick to his stomach. "1 heard Barry (Larkin) ask somebody who he got traded for, and I about threw up," said Graves, who sobbed in the clubhouse afterward. "Sully has been my best friend in Cincinnati since we have been here. I don't know how to think of it." Sullivan, 32, was a leader of the team's chapel services on Sunday mornings and one of the most respected veterans on the team. Several players ~ pproached reporters after the game to make sure their feelmgs were known. "It's a joke," pitcher Chris Reitsma said. "Sully is the kind of guy you keep around. It makes me sick.

But Holzer Clinic seems to have found a way to ease the ahxiety for youngsters and ipeir parents. : Meet Benny, the official ~':spokesbear" for Holzer Chnic, who has become a focal part of tbe clinic's advertising campaign for its pediatric services. · According to clinic offiCials, Benny has become a por,ular figure in the region. : ' We have been very pleased with how well the patients and media in our serv1ce area !iave reacted to Benny, .our pediatric patients especialh'," said Stephan R. Elberfeld, i:lirector of marketing for llolzer Clinic. "We have had all kinds of requests for l'!enny to appear at festivals, social events and parades. : ''Our objective with creating the Benny concept was to show it warm fun character when Sometimes doctor visits can make people nervous and apprehensive. We intend to contmue with Benny as part of the 'S kesbear for Holzer Clinic."' · benny is the creation of professional puppeteer Rick Lyon, who designed and manipulated the jolly· blue ~ bruin. Lyon is also the voice of Benny. · The concept for Benny originated w1th Salter and Associated of Parkersburg, W.Va., and the clinic's marketing department. Lyon, a native of ~ochester. N.Y., is a veritable "king of critters" as it pertains to puppets. Early in his career, he worked w1th the lengendary Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets and founder of Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Lyon, now ·based in the New Ymt City area. has created numerous characters television, til~ and other mediums. His '1\ody of work includes Comedy Central's hit show "Crank Yankers," PBS stalwan "Sesame Street." and Disney's "Bear in the Big Blue House" and 'The Book of Pooh." The talented puppet master has also been involved in feature films, including "Men in Black" and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles II and III," as well as television commercials for Carvel, Footlocker and Nickelodeon. ·· Most recently, the talented "Having choices is great. That is, unless you're really indecisive." ECHL players go on strike made after a conference call Wednesday between the players' association and player representatives. ECHL commissioner Brian McKenna was informed of the strike following the call, but expects that a deal will be struck, and the season will open on time Oct. 17.

According to "The Wall Stteet Journal," "Avenue Q" is a satire of "Sesame Street" performed by a cast of singing puppets. Lyon said Salter and Holzer representatives knew they wanted to use a puppet for the campaign, but kicked around several ideas before agreeing to use a bear as the character. ''They had a bird; they had a rabbit; they had all sorts of · other things before they sort of hit on the bear and decided that's they way they wanted to go," Lyon said; 4oosaidBemyis~anmg allthedaa:tbshe'screa:d · "Benny is not any other character," he said. "In fact, that was one of the difficulties was sort of coming with what kind of voice characaterization and so forth. I sent them demo tapes of characters I had done before and they said, 'Well, I kind of like this, but not quite, Could you make it a little more gruff or whatever?' And so we went back and forth. Benny was completely original." According to Holzer Clinic officials, the "Benny Campaign" was filmed ·in April 2003 at Horizons Companies in Columbus under the direction of Mark Rigsby. Tim Courlas directed the cinematography for the commercials. "At first, I must admit I was a little uncertain about the idea of promoting health care with a puppet," Rigsby said in an intervtew that was posted the Horizons Companies Web site. "But it all came together brilliantly, and I feel veer. confident that these spots w11l produce a lot of positive marketing energy for the clinic." "I see Benny as having the potential to achieve instant, almost cult-like popularity," Courlas said. "He certainly had that effect here at f1orizons during the shoot."

Building a children' s library is not complicated. It doesn't require an architect's blueprints. No building codes to follow. No arguments with contractors. No great demands on your time. What it will require from you is a love for books- good books. Whether you are · lucky enough to have an entire room to devote to assembling a library, or like most of us, a small comer awaits, size matters not. What matters is that you develop, over time, good books which will beg you to return to them agam and again. I define good books as those which "teach" about character - good and bad. We understand how teaching life lessons helps to form children's charac.ters which enable them to choose behaviors of admirable qualities. Life is replete with choices. Many of us stray, from time to time. Returning to good books can provide much needed instruction and solace, reminding us that choices made will lead, inevitably, to rewards positive or destructive. Choosing good books can be a bit daunting. Let your conscience be your guide. Choose those which give you a sense of emotional attachment to the content, but which also leave you to ponder about the story afterwards Iring afterwards. Your children will have favorites, I'm sure. But the kinds of books I'm referring to are those which are or resemble the classics. The term is used for good reason. These classics endure throughout generations, linking us to both our past and future .

The hero, if he can be called that, is simply "The Kid", a teenager from Tennessee who joins the disreputable band and is one of its survivors. the Judge, a seven-foot bald man with no hair on head, body, brows, or lashes, is a Satan who seems to know all things. The showdown between The Kid and The Judge takes · place many years after Glanton has himself been killed and the gang eliminated. The reality of the taming of the West is harsh, according to history. One critic says America was never innocent. Neither the whites nor the Native Americans are shown to be morally superior. Actually, there is a lack of moral judgment in this book. The characters all seem beyond redemption. The Judge says, "If war is not holy, man is nothing but antic clay." He also describes war as the ultimate game of survivor, the most significant game because life itself is at stake. He says, "War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone.

It brings up an important dilemma. How can we tell the story of our country truthfully without including violence? how much of that violence do we impart to our children? will they feel misled, even lied to, if we do not tell the horrible truths about the treatment of Native Americans and lflacks in our society? Someone said that thos(! who do not know history are condemned to repeat it. Can we acknowledge our own history truthfully and learn from it?

You may ask, 'How can that be?'The book is ' Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy, an e11:cellent writer, a.uthor of the Border trilogy, which begins with 'All the Pretty Horses.' Harold Bloom, probably the foremost literary critic of this generation, says this is one of the best books by a contemporary author, but admits he flinched from the carnage and overwhelming violence. The book owes much to the influences of Melville and Faulkner. It is not for the faint-hearted or weak of stomach. There is unremmitting violence of nearly every kind. This nov.el is based on the Glanton gang, Jed by John Joel Glanton; during the border wars between Me11:ico and Texas in 1849-50. Glanton was a soldier offortune, outlaw and notorious bounty-hunter and murderer. He was hired to fight and scalp Indians on the frontier. He gathered about him a cadre of unprincipled me11. Perhaps the title comes from the 98th meridian, identified by historian Frederick Jackson Thrner as the boundary between the frontier and the wilderness. McCarthy rapidly dissolves our myth of innocence on the frontier and romantic notionspreviously entertained. He questions the concept of " Manifest Destiny" as a selfserving nationalistic idea. Conquering the West was not a pretty sight.

NEW YORK (AP)- For filmmaker R.J . tutler, 2003 so far has been a busy, if upand-down, year. "Freshman Diaries," a fol his much low-up to acclaimed documentary series "American High," tracks a group of new arrivals at the University of Texas in Austin. Taped during the 2002-03 class year, it will air as a 10-week Showtime series premiering Aug. 31 at II p.m. Cutler also produced a different kirid of reality television, ABC's "The Real Roseanne Show," a behindthe-scenes look at Roseanne Barr as she . developed a lifestyle-cooking series set to premiere next month on cable 's ABC Family. But this show, "Do mestic Goddess," which Cutler also · would have produced, was she! ved on Monday because of hysterectomy Barr was due to undergo this week . This led ABC to cancel · "The Real Roseanne." which, drawing a minuscule audience in its Wednesday time slot, premiered Aug. 6 to pave the way for .;Domestic Goddess." But Cutler is looking ahead to yet another project. In fact , he 's campaigning for 2004 and an innovative series that might breathe new life into next year's presidential race by ushering in 18 new contenders. In that race, "American Candidate" may prove to be a nonstarter. But three months after FX network bailed out of the project, citing cost concerns, Cutler remains hopeful that another network wi II elect to give it a shot. "I'm very confident we're going to have an announcement to make very soon," he said last week while offering a no other details. "Americans yearn for real leadership, and they're looking everywhere for it," he went on, outlining the platform for· his series. "There's a desperate hunger for fresh ideas and real leaders, and people are so eager to invest their hope and future in the right one. •·we want to engage a lot of people who are ready to eiller the 2004 election cycle feeling disengaged and di senfranchised." As the man who made 'The War Room." a documentary about Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Cutler has logged miles in the fast lane of the campaign trail. ''I" m a fan of the drama of politics ," says Cutler, an Emmy- and Peabody-winning tilmmaker who lives . for !'a good story. well told." · Many good stories would surely emerge from "American Candidate," Cutler told himself a year ago when he hatched the ide;1: a real , unscripted parallel campaign to the usual one. De signed to identify a viewer-endorsed potential president . "American Candidate" would invite qualified citizens to apply for the chance to mount their own campaigns, with guaranteed coverage by a weekly prime-time series. Early on, a panel Cutler specifies as "blue ribbon" (which presumably rules out Lorenzo Lamas or Paula Abdul) would choose 18 finalists . Then, during the series· run, the viewing audience would narrow these con tenders to two opponents.- Next summer. a "people's convention" would select one of them as the American candidate who then, if he or she chose, could accept the nomination . and continue campaigning to Election Day. A traditionalist might blast this idea as little more than a TV-managed suint. It might also.trigger unsavory associations with the circuslike recall election in California .. But Cutler argues that, on the contrary, "American Candidate" would add a measure of substance to the race by supplementing it with valuable new contenders. . "The 18 people on our show won't be mainstream Republiaans, as Republican thinking is currently defined, or mainstream Democrats, as Democratic thinking is currently defined," explains Cutler: "They will represent alterna~ tive points of views. New ideas. Fresh ideas. We want to find new voices for leadership in America - in an entertaining, compelling, dramatic way." And it's worth remember• ing that. even without winnin g in November ·2004, the chosen "American Candidate" could wield significant intluence - in the major parties· platforms• even in .the administration that occupies the White House. If voters like what they hear · from this candidate. the mainstream candidutes will surely hear it too. "This isn ' t 'Fear Factor'; this is a serious endeavor," Cutler sums up . "I don't begrudge any of those shows their success, but this show is about something different: to celebrate the democratic process anq engage more people in it." Will it happen for Campaign '04? Will a TV network throw its support behind "American Candidate"? · ' just do his thing," he said, Studdard said it's been difficult juggling the schedules of his producers with his . own. But he said he wasn't worried about the delay. Studdard narrowly beat out Aiken in M;;ty to win the "American . Idol" contest. Since · then, the 24-year-old Aiken has gotten plenty of attention. He got a Rolling Stone cover before Studdard, and his first sin· gle, 'This Is the Night," sold more copies than Studdard's "Flying Without Wings." Both songs were released in June. And ABC television announced Wednesday that Aiken will sing his signature song at "the "Miss America" pageant in Atlantic City, N.J., on Sept. 20. Studdard downplayed the competition with .Aiken, whom he called his friend. "When you think about it, both of us have sold upward of 900,000 (copies of) singles. Should I be upset that I sold 951,000 singles, and he sold 961,000 singles?" Studdard said. Studdard is working with hit-makers such as .R. Kelly and Mi ssy Elliot on hi s disc, which also will include guest appearances by rapper Fat Joe and gospel star Fred Hammond. It will be released on J Records, while Aiken' s will be released on RCA Records. Both are par) of the conglomerate BMG .

Some paeans to soup are rnore fonhright, such as that c>f food luminary M.F.K. Fisher: "It is impossible to th ink of any good meal, on matter how plain or elegant, without soup or bread in it." If chicken soup can soothe vou in the winter months, it seems a chilled soup can calm the most feverish August day. "To me they conjure up the same feelings of summer as when I think of lemonade on a porch or eating homemade ice cream under a big shade · tree," says Sue Spitler, editor of "I ,001 Low-Fat Soups & Stews" (Surrey Books, 2000, $1 9.95 paperback). "Chilled summer soups are comfon food, cool and refreshing on the tongue." Gazpacho, a summer staple that originated in the AndaJusia region of. Spain, is vibrant mix of tomatoes and peppers that packs a vitamin C -rich wallop in tackling a nasty summer cold. And, apart from its reponed health benefits, it's a crowd-pleaser. 'This is a dish frequently requested by guests, and in the su mmer there are so many beautiful and delicious lorna- I toes, especially heirloom tomatoes, that featuring them in the summer is imponant," chef Douglas Dodd of Los Angeles' Hotel Bel-Air says. · Dodd suggests a crab and avocado salad as the perfect complement to a chilled summer soup li'ke gazpacho. "Although being 'a summer dish, any salad would do, particularly a marinated vegetable (beet) salad with goat cheese and a light vinaigrette," he says. Gazpacho, avocado soup and cauliflower soup are summer favorites, but fruit soups are the true symbol of the season. "I can't think of any fruit soup one would serve appropriately in another season , and certainly not warm! Fruit soups are truly a bonus of summer," Spitler says. Fruit soups should be made with more sugar than seems necessary, since cold tends to dull flavor. The same goes for vegetable soups - they will need a little more salt than a soup that is served hot.

POMEROY - For those parents who opt to pack school lunches for their kids, the beginning of the new school year creates a quandry: ~ow to pack a lunch the kids will eat and enjoy, while maintaining both nutritional value and value for the hard-earned dollar. Although !ublic .schools offer free an reduced-priced lunches, the oplion of. a brown-bagged lunch from home is still the lunch of choice for many families, and . according to the staff at the Meigs County Extension Office, some good, homemade lunches can be made for as little as 45 cents per day. . "We encourage parents, to read the NationaJ School Lunch Program form that kids will bring home from . school," said Extension Agent Becky Baer. "The program can save a family a lot of money, but many children are left out because their families think they make too . much money." . According to Baer, a family of four with a household income of $22,945 or less per year can receive free meals, while a family of four making between $22,945 and $32,653 ~an qualify for reduced-priced meals. While most school lunches cost around $1.75, packing a homemade lunch with inexpensive sanwiches of turkey, tuna, egg salad and peanut butter sandwiches can greatly reduce the cost Those sandwiches cost approximately I 0 to 30 cents .e ach to make, and when added to a thermos filled with soup or a rewanned casserole or chili, can make up a satisfying and economical lunch. Some additional and inexpensive items can be added to the brown bag or lunchbox to round off the soup and sandwich, Baer said. Vegetable sticks, popcorn, canned fruit, traillmx, crack. ers, fresh fruit, bread sticks, applesauce, and homemade pudding, gelatin and cookies oan all add to the appeal of the homemade lunch, for mere pennies· per serving. '• Older children, like Cody Williams, can help choose the con· tents of their lunch,' and help prepare them, too. (Brian J.

"Using different breads, like whole wheat bread, or banana or raisin bread, can make the"Iunchtime sandwich more appealing," Baer said. Baer also recommends cutting sandwiches into shapes, like triangles, rectangles or small strips, or using cookie cutters for even more interesting shapes. .

Some 600 people in the United States already have, according to Subaru, which sells the company's road rally-inspired, 2004 Impreza WRX STi. On sale since June with a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $31,545, the STi is a rare sedan and not just because there's no radio in the dashboard and floor mats ' ate a $'75 option. An all-wheel-driver with the most powerful engipe ever offered in a Subaru in this country, the STI is the closest an American car buyer can get to owning a Subaru road rally car. In fact, STi stands for . Subaru Tecflica International, the high-performance and motorsports development division of Subaru 's parent company in Japan which helped craft the STi car. Subaru has a long, successful history in rally racing, which is popular• overseas and in video games that young Americans play. · While rally racing has yet to catch on here the way NASCAR and open-wheel racing has. Subaru officials saw in the STI an opportunity to launch a new halo car for the brand that has become known more for its value attributes and Outback crossover vehicle than for excitement and sponiness. Trust me, one ride in the STi dispels that old notion. First order of businesss: ·Climb into the car' s racing seats. Gosh, I half expected to see racing seat belts here, too, as the form-fitting front buckets of the STi curved around my shoulders and thorax and thighs to hold me in place. But no, all five riders in the STi gel regular, threepoint belts. Note the climb . inside is down into the seats, as the STi, based on Subaru's Impreza WRX, has a body that's lowered nearly a half inch . The ignition key of the STi is unusual, too. It's a thick, metallic thing that looks more like an emergency turnoff key than a car's ignition key. Then, there's the light, quick-response steering and the STi's 300-horsepower, 2.5-Iiter, turbocharged and intercooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder. A driver gets an idea of what this means just by looking at the speedometer, which goes to I 60 mph and is illuminated all the time in a bright orange-red color. The tachometer goes to 9,000 rpm, but the needle is likely to get close to that only with engine modifications. Otherwise, the redline is 7,000 rpm. . I noticed there was no turbo boost gauge in the .test car. The gauge is an. option for those who want it and will help prove that a full 14.5 psi of boost is available also is the explanation for no radio and floor mats. It seems a little odd. though , that these items would be left off while cruise control is included as standard in a driver's car like the STi.

Studies also show that students who do not eat breakfast have higher absenteeis m rates, trouble with concentration, and more behavior problems.

Wipe up the excess paste. flood the area with fresh water, and towel dry. If this doesn't work, there are two altematives: Replacement of the shower pan, or refinishing the existing pan in place. The. disadvantage of the first alternative is that the shower walls generally must be removed with the pan. This can be expensive and, when the walls are in excellent condition, a waste of money. If a remodel is not in the budget. we suggest you go with the second alternative. Consult with a licensed con- and fixture refinishing.
