John Clark/NASCAR This Week Winning the 2002 Daytona 500 has been the highlight of Ward Burton's career, as Burton (center) celebrates with family, friends and Bill Davis Racing teammates In victory lane. Ward ·restarts career Burton parts ways with Bill Davis Racing, off to drive No. 0 Pontiac By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week . F or Ward Burton, it's time to start over ' again. Since the final nine races of the 1995 season, Burton has been driving the cars - first Pontiacs and then Dodges- of Bill Davis Racing. In Davis' familiar No. 22, Burton has won five. times: at Rockingham , N.C., in 1995; at Darlington, S.C. , in 2000 and 2001 ; at Daytona Beach, Fla., in 2002; and at Loudon, N.H., in 2002. But the relationship between Burton, the older of racing brothers from South Boston, Va., and Davis grew old this year. Over the weekend , Davis announced that Scott Wimmer will be taking over the driving ·duties in his Caterpillar-sponsored Intrepid af· ter Sunday's race in Martinsville, Va. Burton, who will tum 42 on Oct. 25, wiU move to the No. 0 NetZero Pontiac of Haas CNC Racing, in the Valley race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Oct. 26. · "When I went there (to Davis' team), it was a relatively new team ," Burton said. "We worked together, put together a successful program.and won some races. But sometimes . circumstances present themselves that you don't have control over. There comes a point where it's time to move on." Burton's 2002 victory in the Daytona 500 was the highlight of his career. Even though he won again later in the season , consistency was a problem. Burton finished only 25th in the Winston Cup points standings. This year has been a tough one for all involved . Only four times has Burton finished in the top 10. His best finish to date was a sixth at Watkins Glen, N.Y., in August. "I'm looking toward the future, not the past," Burton said. Everything's not fine I recently read a letter from one of you r re aders aski ng wher e the money goe s that is collected from fines. I was ve ry disappointed to hear that the money was given back to the drivers by how they finish in the points standings. Why doesn 't NASCAR stdrt a foundation - like the Make-A-Wish Foundat ion - and he lp terminally il l chil dren or adults experience a oncein-a-li fetime experience of going to a race or meeting their favorite drivers? If NA SCAR is truly the No . 1 spectat or sport, then a foundation of this sorris worth looking into.

Area residents may think of it mainly as a library for college students and ac:Jdemic purposes, but the Davis Library offers a wide array of programs and serv ices for area -residents as well. That is one message that the new Friends of the Library organization at Rio Grande is trying to publicize. "We're not just catering to the college.

First of all, many people think that because the Davis Library is on a college campus, it only has books and materials that are used for research and academic purposes. While the Rio Grande library is a great reso urce for students, it also h11s children's books, tiction and non-fiction books for adults. books and magazines, and a .vide variety of reading options. If a visitor to the library wants a book that the Rio Grande library does not have on its shelves, the library ·usually can get that book through the OhioLINK program. This program gtves libraries the opportunity to get books from virtually any other college and university library in Ohio. Visitors to the Davis Library can request items from any OhioLlNK library and receive materials in just a lew days. 'Our patrons have access to matenals from libraries all over Ohio," Wilson said. The Rio Grande library also has a large selection of computer materials for its patrons. Area residents can look up information on a ----~--------------~ wide variety of topics in the computer materials. In addition to making books and materials avail able to area residents. the library is also offering se veral programs of interest to people of all ages. · A Friends of the Library dinner is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8. For additional information , call Amy Wilson , reference outreach specialist. The Friends of the Library are also offering a lecture series that will bring speakers on subjects of local mterest, and a movie series covering different themes or coinciding with special events in the community. In the future, activities such as the "Haunted Library," which will highlight some of the spookier characters of literature such as the Headless Horseman, Dracula, Frankenstein and even · the witches in "Macbeth," will provide both entertainment and education. The Friends of the Library group wants to help promote and support these events. Area residents and Rio Grande students can join the Friends of the Library for a small membership fee and get involved in the numerous services the library provides. In addition. area residents who just want to learn more about the library, or see how the library 's services could benefit their class, workplace or organization, can visit the Davis Library on the Rio Grande campus or call the Davis Library at 245-7005 for the circulation desk or 245-7344 or 245· 7382 for the reference desk. The Dav is Library is under the leadership of Director J, David Mauer and other friendly employees ready to help library visitors.

The Holzer School of Nursing at Rio Grande is . filled every year with student nurses. The nurses find no shortage of work in the region due to the excellence of the program and the strong demand for nurses here and across the country. More and more health care agencies are looking for RN s today, and Rio Grande is considering ofl'ering an on-line course to help LPNs get the training they need to become RN s. Currently, Rio Grande officials are 'gauging the interest in the community for such a program, but they hope it can be another way for the university and the Holzer School of Nursing to provide a service to the people of the region.

Represent the best interests of the people of the city. 6. Reduce wasteful spending. 7. Expand city services within in the city. 8. Develop our riverfront into a civic asset.

I ask you vote to make these good things happen in our town . Bill O'Reilly very personal but also designed to advance the farleft agenda. Item: When my new book 'Who's Looking Out for You?' hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list, it was described as an 'attack ' vehicle. In reality the book is a primer for everyday Americans on how to achieve success and stability. In the past ten 'years only two people have had three number one non-fiction best. sellers on the Times list: Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and your humble correspondent. Yet somehow the Times has not gotten around to reviewing any of my books while tomes by the liberal 'satirists' are given major exposure. Item: People Magazine assigned a man who loathes me (I know, I know it's hard to believe) to review 'Who's Looking Out for You?' Newsflash -he didn't like it. Item: A National Public Radio interviewer insisted on reading that People Magazine review on the air during her chat with me . When I strongly suggested she read the very positive review in Publisher's Weekly magazine as well. she refused : Item: Matt Lauer on The Today Show sat th~re smirking as one of the far-left 'satirists' defamed me. When my publicist called The Today Show asking for a chance to respond , the program turned me down. To be fair Barbara Walters gave me fair play on 'The View' and did challenge the 'satirist' so there is not a leftwing monolith in play here. But there is no question that scores of left-winger press people have now emerged from the closet and are out for blood, the same way hard right-wing ideologues "" were during the Clinton administration. However, the nard right did not have access to the elite media and that' s a key however. The assault from the left is directly because of the unprecedented success of the Fox Newschannel. Perceived by the 'progressive' community to be conservative, the network drives the· far-left absolutely crazy. That politically correct bastion, CNN , has been decimaled in the ratings by FNC, and traditionalists finally have a place on television to put forth their points of view. Of course, liberal voices are given. the same opportunity on Fox but it doesn't matter to the far-left ideologues. For decades, they controlled the agenda on TV news. , Now that's over. All voices are heard . So the far-left is counterattacking and God help you if you're in their sights. My name is no Ionge~ Bill O'Reilly, it's 'gasbag,' 'bully,' 'liar,' and 'blowhard.' Those descriptions are not confined to opinion pieces but are routinely used in hard news stories as well. The far-left media has loaded up on sticks and stones and is eager to hurl them. There is some good news, though. Never again can many news organizations claim any kind of fairness or non-partisanship. They have been flushed out of the weeds for all to see. Excuse me for a moment, something just went whizzing by my head.

A title I am very proud of. . My son's name is James Bartley. He was born on Jan. I , 1966. He was a special child ad I was entrusted with his care. Jim was never expected to talk and possibly not be able to walk. There was lots of ear surgery, fever, convulsions, signing classes, etc. : When he was four, I was contacted about putting him in a ·special school. This school was a 169 program and the name of this school was called 'Guiding Hand.' What a wonderful surprise - a school for my special son. It was like a heavy burden was lifted from my heart. Jimmy was in the program from four years of age until he was 22. Jim loved going to school. He was accepted by his 'peers and never made to feel different. There were many pro·grams - speech therapy, physical therapy, gym class, and academic reading, writing, math, self help, social outings and Special Olympics. Now Jim is 37. He understands what you are saying, talks constantly, plays basketball, runs track, can throw a softball over 65 meters, rides .a bike and works at a sheltered work· shop. He has also worked at jobs outside the workshop part Jime. : My son has accomplished . all these things because of the ·169 programs . .He is very personable, social and outgoing. Please make these things possible for all the special children by supporting the levy for Guiding Hand and Gallco. Remember the 169 programs service these special people from bi1th until death. : God bless all the people or'the 169 program for giving Jim :such good care and the ability to become all he can be. I still ·get lots of hugs and '!love you , Mom.' AROUND TOWN Ottmef ·&entintl Gallia County Calendar Media bias A recent Gallup Poll says nearly half the country believes the media is biased left and this poll proves one thing: The people who told the pollsters that are smarter than I am. For most of my journalistic career, I did not believe there was institutional bias on the part of the media. I felt there was an exclusionary bias. That is certain opinions and issues simply were simply ignored by the major media. For example, I worked for two network new s organizations and the only time you'd hear a prolife opinion would be if some nut blew up an abortion clinic. But I've now learned the hard Y(ay that liberal bias is a way of life for many media organizations. Over the past few months I have been slimed, smeared, and pilloried primarily by lefti sts who do not approve· of my commentary. I am not whining. I'm reporting. And to put things . into 'perspective, what, actors Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger have recently suffered at the hands of the left-wing press makes my situation look like an episode of 'Happy Days.' These guys have been viciously attacked and even their own fathers have been used as bludgeons against them. Awful doesn't even begin to describe it.

Clubs and Organizations Taking a byte out of the vampire myth Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowperson are starting to appear in the store displays at the mall, and you know what that means! It means · it's almost Halloween. Halloween is that very special night when your children head out for a few hours of fun, while you stay home with a Buick-sized cache of miniature Snickers, listening for the doorbell. There it is! You open the door and Surprise ! It's some neighborhood children, costumed as police officers! No, wait, those· are REAL police officers, informing you that they have your children in custody. Something about a municipal sewage station and a grenade launcher. Ha ha! Those little pranksters! Yes, Halloween is a lot of fun for the older kids. But it can be a scary time for the , younger ones, who hear stories about spooky creatures ghosts, goblins, Yoko Ono and can develop serious anxieties. That's why the president of the American Academy of Child Psychologists, Dr. Karl A. Fronkleman, offers this Halloween advice for parents of young children: 'Sit the child down in a familiar, non-threatening place, such as the child's bedroom, and explain to the child that Halloween is 'just pretend,' and that there are no Dave Barry such things as witches, or ghosts , or werewolves, or vampires, or demon slimeeels of death that can ooze under your door at night and bore right through your eyeballs and SUCK OUT YOUR BRAINS LIKE JELLY HAHAHAHAHAHA.' That is sound P.rofessional advice. Our children have enough real things to worry about, without being needlessly scared by silly legends. A human being cannot turn into a wolf! Although I have a friend, Buzz Burger, who once turned into an alligator for several hours. But that was New Year's Eve . · . . Also I should note here, in the interest of accuracy, that · vampires are real. I found them, needless to say. on the Internet, where they have a number of sites. An excellent one is the Vampire Church ( http :I I w w w. vamp ire church.com/) which is very serious, and which describes itself as 'an online community where others may find and contact other real vampires.' It offers a number of resources for the vampire community, including a section called (really) 'Dark Fonts,' where you can download computer fonts with names like 'Frankenstein' and 'Bloody Stump.' Picture the scene: A dark night in Transylvania, a castle bedroom, a beautiful young woman in bed, sleeping, defenseless. The windows are open ; the curtains flutter; a bat t1ies in. There's a swirl of fog, and the bat turns into Dracula! He approaches the bed. He opens his mouth; his canines are the length of Bic pens. He leans over the sleeping girl, his glowing red eyes riveted on her slim, vulnerable neck. He leans toward her and Whips out his laptop computer! He boots it up! (This takes 17 minutes , because Dracula has Windows XP.) Finally, the woman, sensing an evil presence in the room, wakes up and to her horror finds herself face to face with the word 'BOO' in Gothic Leaf, 18-point, boldface! AIEEEEEE. In all fairness, I should point out that the whole uracula thing is a stereotype th~t is offensive ·to the vampire con\munity. If you read the messages on the Vampire Church message board, you · discover that vampires are a very sensitive group of peopie (or whatever) who feel they. are misunderstood by society. To be honest, I was . disappointed by this attitude: I wanted to post a message that said: 'Stop this self-pitying victim-group whining! You're VAMPIRES, darn it! Get out there and BITE SOMEBODY!' But apparently real vampires don't go around biting people. It's a stereotype! Some vampires, however, .DO drink blood, to judge from these messages, which I am not making up: - 'I have recently lost my only donor. She is my girlfriend, put she moved back to the states - I haven't fed in nearly 2 we.eks and I grow weak and tiresome.' - 'I didn't know anyone like me until I met one of my coworkers. He told me that he is a blood drinker like me. And so we started ·talking about it. And now I don't feel alone.' Good for you, Mr. Rather! No, seriously, it is not a laughing matter, this vicious stereotyping of the . vampire community. So, parents, when you talk to your small children about Halloween, remind them that the world is full of many · different kind·s of people, and just because a person drinks human blood, that does NOT mean this person can be warded off with garlic. I mean, get REAL. (Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald. Write to him c/o The' Miami Herald, One Herald ' Plaza, Miami, FL 33132. ) ' Sunday, Oct. 19 .

'f 'I �Mason County Prep Football Wahama remains unbeaten White Falcons blank St. Marys to improve to 8.0 BY G"RY CLARK Sports correspondent ST. MARY S, W.Va. - The big play capabil iti es of the Wahama y.'hite Falcons offse t seven fumbles on a rain soaked St. Mary 's turf Friday evening as coach Ed Cromley 's, Class A No. 4, Falcons turned away the Blue Devils upset bid with a 31 -0 win to remain unbeaten on the 2003 grid campaign . Johnn y Barton , the White Falcons rapidly emerging star running back, ran fo r 174 yards and three touchdowns to lead a trio of 100-yard outings by WHS runners in the Class A co ntest between two ranked football opponents. Barton tallied scOI'ing runs of 97 , 36 and 15 ya rds in addition to adding a two-point conversion for the White Falcon s as WHS claimed its 24th consecuti ve regular season victory. Jeshu a Branch tacked on a 58 yard scoring jaunt and added a two point PAT while Chad Zerkle scored on a con ve rsion attempt. Anthony Mitchell capped the Mason County teams scoring with a pointafter kick as Wahama pitched it s third shutout of the current season . Brandon Gagnon and Jeshua Branch joined Barton with I 00-yard efforts on the ground with Gagnon finishing the evening with I09 yards in I 0 carries with Branch totaling I06 ru shing yards in II tries. Barton netted his game high 174 yards in only nine attempts for the local eleven . Waham a turned the ball over five times in the conte st which kept the Falcons well below its season scoring· average of 50 points per contest. "We turned the ball over on far too many occasions," veteran WHS coach Ed Cromley stated. " I really don 't know how to explain it but I would like to think maybe the reason for our flat performance was that we we re looking ahead to next weeks showdown with Parkersburg Catholic. I' m not satisfied with our p lay the past three weeks. Hopefully we' re saving up for a big game next week." Wahama got off on the wron g foot from the game s opening kick after losing possession of the football follow ing the first of seven WHS fumbles on the day. In fact, Wahama gave St. Mary 's good field position throughout the en\ ire first half due to its inability to hold onto the football. St. Mary' s · capitalized on a short Wahama punt to start a senes on the WHS 17. Two plays later the Blue Devil s t~reatened to take an early lead after ptcktng up a fusl down at the Falcon one but a determmed goal line stand led by Jason Young, RT Roush, Aaron Faulk and Anthony Mitchell turned St. Mary 's away empty handed to set the tone for the remainder of the game. Follo~ing the big defensive charg·e the Whtte Falcons took the lead for good when Barton broke loose down the far sideline for a 97 -yard scoring gallop . Branch ran the point after to g1ve WHS an 8-0 advantage with II: 12 remaining in the opening half. The Mason Count.Y team continued to struggle offensively throughout most of the second quarter before Branch broke free on a nifty weaving run through the middle of the Blue Devil defense on the final play of the half. Chad Zerkle connected with Barton on the PAT conversiOn to gtve Wahama a 16-0 half-time edge . A 36 yard Barton scamper on the Bend Area teams first possession of the third period increased the locals lead to 22-0. Barton's run capped a 49 yard , four play drive and Zerkle ran the ext ra point to give Wahama some breathing room with a 24-0 lead. Barton iced· ihe conte st on the openin g play of the fourth quarter with a 15 ~ ard burst with Anthony Mitchell bootmg the PAT to give the Fal cons it s 310 margin of vic tory. Wahama turned the ball over on fum bles two more .times during the final II minutes to prevent any further scoring activity but the Whi te Falcons three long scoring opportunitie s and the Bend Area teams staunch defensive effort proved to be more than enough to give the Bend Area team its eighth win of the season . On the Falcons first offensive play of the game Gagnon busted free on a 39 yard run that Cromley thought may have given hi s team a false since of security against the Blue Devils. "We broke that long run on our first pl ay of the game and I think our players might have thought this was going to be an easy victory but our inability to hold onto the football kept it from being anything but," said Cromley. "We were fortunate to come out flat and still com e away with a win but we've still got a lot of work to accomplish." WHS totaled 431 yards in total offense with 414 yards coming on the ground . The locals defen sive unit limited St. Marys (4-4) to 81 yards On the ground and. 20 yards through the air with Josh Burns leading the way with 63 yards in IS carries. The Blue Devils lost two of three fumbles on the night and punted nine times in the contest. . Now comes what looms as what passtbly could be the biggest game in Wahama history when the White Falcons welcome second rated Parkersburg Catholic to the Bend Area for a huge Class A showdown between two unbeaten teams if the Crusaders can defeat Wirt County tonight. .Big Blacks blast Warren, 46-7 Sunday, October 19. Suncfay, October 19. 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis National Football League Rice, SMU and Tulsa leaving WAC for Conference USA HOUSTO N (AP) - Rice, Southern Methodist and Tulsa will leave the Western Athletic Conference to join Conference USA , presidents from two of the schools said Friday. In a statement, Rice president Malcolm Gillis said the school's board of trustees gave him permission to sign the membership agreement with Conference USA. Tulsa president Bob Lawless satd in a statement that the school's Board of Trustees "has authorized this proposed change in conference membership. We anticipate having a formal announcement with Conference USA regarding its membership realignment in fhe near future." Gillis said in the league's new expected configuraRice, Southern tion, Methodist and Tulsa would join current members Texas · Christian , Houston and Tulane to form a western divi sion of Conference USA. "This configuration will allow for very substantial savings in travel cost s," Gilli s said . "Even more importantly, the proximity of these schools will benefit our men and women athletic teams through ·large reductions in time away from class." Conference USA is repositioning itself as it braces for the expected departure Big East-bound of Loui sville, Cincinnati , Marquette and DePaul.

There was Ray Lewis, treating the ball carrier like a rag doll. There was Peter Boul ware , tu rning the quarterback into kindling. There were the Baltimore Ra vens, winn ing with defense. Their former defen sive coordinator wa~ched their game tape s la~t week, trymg to find some flaw s. In stead, he found himself blinking back emotions. "You almost want to tear up because they 're fun to watch," the Cincinnati Bengals' first-year head coach said. "They' re guy s that mean a lot to me . "When you 're in a room with those guys as much as you are for so lo ng, and all the young guys we drafted ~ to see what they' re doing now - it 's fun. But now it's time to go to work and beat them ." That will depend to a large degree on whether Lewis can ove rcome the defense he helped create. The Ravens (3 -2) have moved atop the AFC North by winning game s with a running game, special te ams and defense - the combination that was so successful in their 2000 Super Bowl championship season. Lewis was their defensive coordinator then, before moving on to Washington and Cincinnati ( 1-4 ). The Ravens' schemes have changed since he left - defensive coordinator Mike Nolan switched to three down linemen instead of four - but many of the players are the same . "Marvin know s everybody 's strength s and weakne sse s," Ray Lewis said. "It's going to be interesting, their game plan coming out.'' Normally. the two teams would have a similar plan: Give the ball to the guy whb set an NFL single-game rushing record. Cincinnati 's Corey Dillon set the record in 2000, when ht; ran for 278 yards against Denver at Paul Brown Stadium. Baltimore's Jamal Lewi s topped him by running for 295 yards ' j tinue our effons in the days and weeks ahead to complete the conference's future membership plans. We are very excited about the potential of fhese relationships and anticipate being able to make a more definitive statement about fhese matters in the near future ." SMU athletic director Brad Sutton had no immediate comment Friday. WAC commissioner Karl Benson said he was disappointed the schools were leaving but understood why. "The central time zone division was important to Rice, SMU and Tulsa and it was something that I was hoping to be able to accomplish under the WAC banner," he told KRIV-TV in Houston. "Obviously the WAC was not successful in doing that." Marshall officials said Wednesday they were t;Xpecting an invitation to join '::onference USA, which loses Army as a football member after this season. The other Conference USA members are Southern Mississippi, AUB, Memphis, Soufh Florida and East Carolina. Rice, SMU, TCU and Hou ston were members of the Southwest Conference when the league disbanded in 1996. Rice, SMU and TCU joined the WAC, wifh TCU eventually joining Houston in Conference USA.

Really, they've been "off' all season . · Browns defensive end Kenard Lang isn't takin g any chances, however. He spent the week warning his teammate s not to overlook the Chargers, the NFL's lone winless team . Cleveland's defensive end can appreciate what it's like to be on a squad hungry for its first victory. Not long ago, Lang was on one. In 200 I, he played in Washington for Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer, who got off to a similarly horrid start during his one - and only season coaching the Red skins. "When I was with Marty, we started off 0-5 ," Lang said, "and then we won like six straight games. I know he 'll have them ready. We have to be ready for them ." Following their bye week, the Chargers (0-5) are more than ready for a win after losing nine straight and 12 of 14 dating to their secondhalf collapse last season. "It's an embarrassment," running back LaDainian Tomlinson said. "This team is too good to be 0 -andWh!ltever. It is just unacceptable and we understand that ." Diego's players San returned from the time off rested and resolved to end their skid. They're now all alone as the league's only 0-for-2003 team following the New York Jets' win over Buffalo last week. Tomlinson said It's time to join the winners' club. "Guys are really desperate to get a win," he said. "It's somewhat surprising that . ;: ......... ,. . " ......... ··~ -.

Kenneth Black well UT coach tackles antique· fishing lure collecting BY MAn MARKEY For the Associated Press TOLEDO - Tom Amstutz is a bear of a man who looks every bit the col· lege foo tball coach - big and burly, wit h a gruff bark in hi s voice and a military sty le buzz haircut. But Amstutz. head coach at the University of Toledo , confesses to being a bit of a nerd when it comes to researching and studying the history of hi s second-favorite subject : the out· doors. " I' ve always loved hunting and fish ing, and I had a natural curiosity for it," sard Amstutz, who has taken the Rocket s to two Mid· American Conference championship games and two bowl games 10 hi s first two seasons as boss of the program . "So I got some books that told abo ut some of the history of these sports and a lot of the details abo ut it." That affi nit y for the outdoors has led Amstutz to an alter nati ve passion once his football mailers are in order. The To ledo native anti former Rockets player - who spent 21 years as an ass istan t coac h at UT before landi ng the top job -collects early 20th ceo· tury fis hing lures. , " I like the an tiques associated,. with huntin g and fishing , the o ld ~ u ck decoys , and old fishing lures, all of that old stuff. " Amstut z said . "Om:e I learned a liule about it . I had to find out a lot more. " Almo.,l 20 years ago. while visiting a footbal l rec ruit in Michigan. Amstutz stopped al a curio sho p and found a collectron of anti4ue fi shing lures. He has been hooked on the , hobby ever since. " I found it really amazing. becaus ~ some of these things 1vere close to 100 years old at the time, and a lot of them looked like they could st ill catch fis h,'" he said. " I was impre ssed by the tngenurty behtnd such lures. and by the crafts· manship it took to make th em at that time The stores are full of mass· pro· duced lures now. but every one of the se lures was hand -c rafted." Amstutz soon became one of the 5,000 or so members of the National Fishing Lure Co ll ectors Club . He attends the group 's convention each summer and other trade show s durin g the football off-season·. "The club is another interesttng col· lection - a col lection of a wide variety of guys , everyt hi ng from lawyers to garbage men and one football coach ," Amstu tz said . "It\ a real fu n bunch of guys to .ge t to know, and we share thrs serious interest in old fishing lures." Amstutz collects main ly lure s tha t v.ere made by small Michigan compa." nie ' from about 1904- 1920 and is paf, ticul arl y Interested in those still iO their origi nal boxes. · He has about 500 lure s. with names includin g the Evans Weed Queen. Lockhart 's Wagtail Witch , The: Vermilion Meadow Mouse and the Eureka Wrggler. While some antique lures can fetch upward of $50 , 0~. Amstutz said the average val ue of ht~ lure s is about $50 . · ""They ca n bring a lot more than l pard for any of them. but a lot of col-: lectors don ·t do thrs trying to ger rich.

Dressed in hi s best Elvis outfit - a shimmering white jumpsuit - We sley Sanford lovingly slipped a matc hing Elvi s Tshirt on hi s favonte raccoon-huntin g dog . That was Sanford's way of celebrating their win in a preliminary rou nd in the 2003 Profess ional Kennel Club's Super Stakes for young dogs. "Everybod y's got to make a fool out of himself once in awhile," he said. For raccoon hunters, it' s the love of dog s and the thrill of a hunt that sends them into the woods ni ght after night with lamps attached to their heads chasing after raccoo ns. The 10-day event. which started Thursday ni ght, is the top hunt for members of the Professional Kennel Club. The ultimate winner for the world hunt earns $30.000. The top 2-year· old dog earns $ 17,500 and $ 12,000 is given for the best !-year-old in the Super Stakes. The competition is more addictive than any stimulant , said Todd Drake, a poultry farmer and fath er of two who dro ve in from Monroe, N.C. , to com· pete. "It's worse than runnin g around with women," Drake said . Outside the indoor tenni s center that serves as the hunt headquarters. the six breed s of hunting dogs th at participate barked from hillside s where they were tied to trees and staked in the ground. Some slept with their head 10 their paw s. In ail , 3,000 dogs are expected to partictpate. Vendors sold everything from deep· fried Oreo cook ies to "coon hunter"s wife" T-shirts . The event is estimated to bring $2.5 million to $5 million to the area economy from hunters buying meals, gas and hotel rooms. After meeting in Aurora, the hunters are dispersed to wooded areas within 60 mil es in Kentucky, Tennessee a nd Illinoi s to hunt. Partici pants come primanly from states bordering the Mississippi Ri ver or from the eastern half of the country. Most have blue-collar roJt s. but do come from a variety of profes sions.

Young, articulate and good looking, Kahne has qualities that far outweigh his modest NASCAR credentials. Ford Racing recognizes his potential and has made it clear that any rival car owners looking for the next superstar will have a hard time getting Kahne out of its camp or his contract. Kahne, a 23·year-old Busch Series regular, has been hotly rumored to be headed to Evernham Motorsports to drive a Dodge in NASCAR's top series. The talk has infuriated Ford, which has invested heavily in Kahne 's future and made a point last weekend to announce it to the NASCAR community. : "It 's said in ·this sport that rumors are just unconfirmed facts," said Greg Spec ht, manager of Ford Racing. "There's no question other teams have talked to Kasey, but the fact of the matter is Ford has a multiyear contract with him that we intend to honor." The potential fight over Kahne has opened a debate in NASCAR over exactly how iron clad contracts are. Although contracts are not openly discussed, there are few secrets in the NASCAR garage. Owners know when drivers arc becoming available and what kind of buyout options they have. In the race to sign the biggest names its become common practice for owners to approac h drivers still under con· tract. "A contract is not what it used to be," car owner Richard Childress said. "It used to be that a handshake got the deal done. But the pressure in this series is so great, I'm not sure what a contract mean s anymore." Despite being a year away from free agency, Tony Stewart was heavily coUrted earlier this season by Chip Qanassi Racing. He ultimately resigned with car owner Joe Gibbs, a full f6 months before his current deal even expired. Ju st last week, Dale Earnhardt Jr. signed the firs( contract of his career after lengthy negotiations with his late father' s race te<lm . Any team could have tried to sign him away during the 1 process . The manufacturers are taking contracts quite seriously, proven earlier this year when Dodge terminated its deaJ ·with Bill Davis Racing because it claimed the car owner was working with Toyota. And earlier this month, Ford parted ways with Jasper Motorsports because the team showed up at Talladega with a Dodge Intrepid for driver Dave Blaney to compete in. By tearing up the paperwork, both manufacturers showed how cutthroat the business has become. "We expect anyone we enter into business with to live up to their end of the deal, just as we promise to live up to our end of the deal," said Bob Wildberger, senior manager of Dodge Motorsports. . That's all Ford is asking of Kahne, who so far is winless in two seasons in the Busch Series. But he's been part of Ford's driver development program since 2000 for an automaker that has taken great pains to lock in its talent; Mark Martin's 11-year-old so n, Matt, has a Ford deal. · Keeping its talent is a serious issue with Ford, which· still shudders over losing Jeff Gordon to Chevrolet early in his career. After a two-year developmental deal with Ford in the Busch Series, Gordon fled to Hendrick Motorsports and its fleet of Chevrolets. He's si nce won four Winston Cup titles in a Chevy. Ford lost Ryan Newman when car owner Roger Penske swi tched to Dodge, and Newman has won eight races this year in an Intrepid. And Kyle Busch, the 18-year-old brother of Ford driver Kurt Busch, had a deal to drive a Taurus for Roush Racing, only to find an out that now has him with Hendrick . Ford wants to make sure the same thing doesn't happen with Kahne, who is on his second contract 'll,)th the manufacturer; II runs through 2005 . Ford tested him in both open-wheel and stock cars so Kahne could decide whic)1 racing route he wanted to take . He's received financial support to help him· get to and from sprmt-car races when they fell on the same weekend as a Bu.;ch race . And when Ford helped him get hi s current Busch ride with Akin s Motorsports, the manufacturer beefed up its technical and financial support for the No. 38 Ford to ensure it was competitive. "Kasey has told us in the past that Ford.has deli vere'd on every promise it has made to him," Specht said. " We intend on continuing with that by ensuring he remains in competitive equipmen ith an eye toward becoming a future mpion." So Ford want. Kahne to race for the Busch champion hip next season and is adamant there is no clause in his deal that would allow him out if anoth· er team offered a Nextel Cup ride. Kahne, reserved and quiet by nature, seems somew hat overwhelmed by all me-sudden attention. "It makes you feel good that Ford has come out and said all this," he said. "I'm still just racing the Busch deal , and all that stuff will come together in the next few weeks." When pressed if Ford 's protective stance made him feel good, he said yes. "I feel. a lot more wanted now than I did last week," he said before closing · the subject. To Ford, the subject is far from over. Wher~ .it ends could ultimately set a precedent in a sport ungoverned by a sanctioning body when it comes to driver and team contracts. NASCAR views all of its teams as independents, the drivers as contracted workers hired by each team. Any disputes are worked out among each other, with NASCAR having no influence in the results. So if Kahne or another team tries to press the issue with Ford, there's a real possibility it could be resolved in a courtroom. "We have built a certain amount df equity in Kasey and taken pains to make him recognizable with the blue oval," Specht said. "We take that very seriously." 1003 ,.,.nston Cup Sch~ule and-Standings I Sunday,Cktober19,2003 The 2003 NASCAR Winston Aug. 10 - Sirius ·at The Cup schedule and stendlngs, Glen, Watkins Glen, N.Y. with winners in parentheses: 1Robby Gordon) Feb. 16 - Daytona 500, Aug. 17 - Michigan 400, Daytona Beach, Fla.

LIPOLISis Halloween, e Noe family has a new family member at t'he dinner table, alt'hough his appetite may be hard to satis· fy. Still, Count Dracula seems quite at home among all the ghosts, ghouls and dancing skeletons in the house. Jane Noe said she has always loved Halloween;and has become more and more enthusiastic about decking out the house each year since she started doing it. "My mom always decorated, and everyone tells me I'JD just a chip off the old block," Noe laughed. Although she grew up in Gallia County; Noe lived in Columbus for several years before moving back to the area last year. The Noes now live on Third A\lenue in Gallipoiis. "The people in our neighborhood in Columbus used to look for our stuff every year," she said. Anyone who loves Halloween is bound to don a costume on Trick or Treat nigh~ and Noe said she'U be dressing UJ? as 'something crazy' on the rught, but her husband is always the scary one. "Jimmy'll go out in a mask or something, and try to scare people," she said. Noe's daughter Amy is II and is in the sixth grade at Washington Elementary. "She's going to be Spiderella," Noe said. "Some kind of witch I think. "I just see, Halloween as a fun holiday," said Noe. Forrest . and Sue Ramey. who live on Second Avenue in Gallipolis also love to decomte for Halloween. "We used to have the whole inside and outside done up with spider> and everything," said Sue. "But it scared the children: they wouldn 't come up to house on 'trick or treat ' night. So we toned it down ." In front of the house. the Rameys have a friendly-looking stuffed scarecrow. propped up on haybales and surrounded by pumpkin head,. "I call him my little man. said Sue. "I bring him out every) .:ar." Sue said people see m to like het "little man." "People will stop and look at him: he seems to ·be popu· lar," she said.

Here are some key points you mu st keep in mind when shopping on-line. Shop at a secure site. A secure site is one that accepts your credit card for payment, then "encrypts" or scrambles the information so that no one but that site can read it. Most web browser software will pr.ovide a "pop up" box that will alert you about a potential securi ty risk at these shopping ~i tes . You should also check the browser for the sec urity lock icon on the tool bar or at the bottom of your screen in the status line. If the lock is closed, this indicates a secure web site.

If you order something, some companies will sell your e-mail address and other personal information. Thi s opens you up to getting "spammed ," the electronic version of junk mail. Remember the saying, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." This is just as true with the Internet as it is with a door-to-door salesperson or a telephone soli citor.

You can check with the Better Bu siness Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission (http://www.ftc.gov/) if you are suspic ious. Don 't be worried about shopping on- line.

But Martin l;leclined to return this year, citing other commitments, such as promoting his novel, ''The Pleasure of My Company." Mystery writer Walter Mosley will replace him. Drama won't be limited to the competitive categories. Horror writer Stephen King will receive a medal for contributions to publishing, an award given in the past to Philip Roth, Arthur Miller and others with more literary reputations. Critic Harold Bloom has strongly criticized the choice, although most in publishing believe King's storytelling skills and history of support for other writers make him a worthy winner. King himse lf has attacked snobbery in the industry. A feature? columnist ,for Entertamment Weekly, he complained recently that publishers have a weakness for the "dull 'serious fiction"' of such "overpraised" writers as Paul Auster and the late William Gaddis, a National Book Award winner. The awards are sponsored by the National Book Foundation, a nonprofit organization that runs educational outreach programs. Winners receive $10,000, finalists $1 ,000. "ARE YOU A - - - - - - - ·?"

If there's any doubt, the r.roof can be found in 'Everything Was Possible: The Birth of the Musical 'Follies."' It's the inside story of how the legendary musical created by Harold Prince, Stephen Sundheim, James Goldman and Michael Bennett was born. "Inside" could not be more correct. From the first full rehearsal to the out-oftown tryout in Boston and then back to New York for opening night, the show's journey has been chronicled by someone who was there. "Everything Was Possible" was written by Ted Chapin, now head of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, which licenses, among oth- . ers, such R&H shows as "Oklahoma!" and "The Sound of Music." But back in 1971, Chapin was a gangly, 20-year-old Connecticut College student who was sorting out what he wanted.to do with his life. One thing· was · certain. He wanted to work in the theater. What better way than to observe many of the same people who had startled Broadway the previous season with "Company." So he kept a journal, and received college credit for it. "There was something about 'Company ' that was so new and so contemporary that it blew me away," Chapin says now of the landmark mus1cal that had Prince as producer and director, Sundheim as composer and Bennett as choreographer. The three, along with Goldman, were embarking on an ambitious new show. "Follies" was about much more. As Chapin recalls , Prince told the cast at that first full rehearsal, "What we intend to do with this show is to · take somewhat of a trip, sort of a group nervous breakdown. Part of its sty le is in being big and brazen ." And Chapin couldn't have picked a more controversial show to watch. "Follies.'' which eventually opened at New York's Wmter Garden Theatre inApril197l. has divided critics and audiences ever since. The four lead characters - originally played by Alexis Smith, John McMartin. Dorothy Collins and Gene Nelson - are unhappy. not particularly likable and married to the wrong people. It 's a rueful story of dreams not only deferred but shattered by time and wrong choices. played out against the memaries of America's golden ·• age of musical comedy. .,. ....... -- - ~.~ ' . ......... · Diane Nader-f:pling •nirkeJ for 20 rflln us a spe ec lr-langua ~e pa th olo gist.

Is it Sally or Jane or Susan? Susan? Yeah, that works."' It might work great for Sofer, 34. after years of jobs that never quite launched her: a short stay on "Just Shoot Me"; six epi sodes on "Ed"; at least one pilot that didn't get picked up; the final season of "Melrose Place"; "Oh Grow Up," a Fox sitcom that quickly bit the dust in 1999. She was a regular on the daytime drama "Loving," then spent six years on "General Hospital" (where she met co-star Wally Kurth, who became her first husband and the father of her daughter, now Hers is a lengthy list- of credits for a New Jersey school girl who strayed into show business because "I had absolutely no direction."

Even so, she caught the eye of a modeling scout while hanging out with friends at a shop in Greenwich Village. Sofer concluded after two weeks that modeling didn' t suit her. Then she decided to give acting a whirl. Why not? Her only other option: "My dad said, 'There 's good money in speech pathology and that's what you should be .' And all I could think was, ' Dear God, I don't even know what a speech pathologist IS t"' Her father gave his blessing to her show-biz quest. "He thought it would help me build confidence," she n explains. And he must have been right. Though Sofer didn' t land a role right away, "interest in me was huge," she says proudly. "I would get callbacks. I'd be testing for soap operas." But even then, she was no ham. Instead, she was hooked on what she saw as a game of chance with increasingly favorable odds.

Another competitor, the slightly larger, 2004 Buick LeSabre, starts at $26,470. But it, too, has cloth seats, manual air conditioning, 15inch tires, four-speed automatic and a front-passenger seat that's manually adjustable.

But the XG350L, which was Hyundai 's first car with a price approaching $25,000 . when introduced as a 200 I model, goes , a step beyond with its palpable luxury sense. 1 The ride is impressively smooth, even on uneven pavement, where my passellgers and I barely felt a vibra'lion.

The XG350L's powerassisted, rack-and-pinion steering felt a bit too loose for my taste. The ride inside the XG350L teste r was quite quiet, save for some wind noi se that emanated from the leading edge of the closed 11\oonroof. Thankfully, the ceiling shade that covered the moonroof area inside helped lessen the noise. All five passengers have decent room and don' t feel hemmed in. Note the front legroom is a sizable 43.3 inches, which is great for tall, long-legged drivers and compares better than 41.7 inches in the Avalon and 42.4 inches in the LeSabre. Maximum rear legroom in the XG350L is measured as 37.2 inches vs. 40.1 inches in the Avalon and the LeSabre 's 39.9 inches. But with the front seat up a ways on its track. I could practically stretch my legs while sitting in the back seat. Rear windows are large and go down nearl y all the way. I hadn't expected the ti res to squeal in this big sedan. which they did more than once. This happened from an engine that produces 194 horsepower and 216 foot-pounds of torque at 3.500 rpm, ratings that are less than Avalon's and LeSabre 's powerplants. Avalon's 3- liter V6 engine with variable valve timing generates 210 horsepowe r and 220 foot-pounds at 4.400 rpm. LeSabre's 3.8- liter, overhead valve V6 generates 205 horses and 230 footpounds at 4,000 rpm . Howe ver, the 3.j-li tl!r, double overhead cam V6 that's in the XG350 and XG350L works competently with its modern, five-speed transmissian and provides · ready power at a wide variety of rpm ranges.

Stereo sounds were strong, but I might like something even more upscale in a car like thi s. And my back and thighs needed more support than they found in the XG's driver and fron t-passenger seat. I did notice that even while extremely well-appointed, the XG350L lacks a few features, such as dual-zone climate conirol, XM radio offering anq a navigation system. They're not offered, even as factory options. Also, there's no six-seat model. which Buick offers in the LeSabre. Still. the XG350L surprises anyone not familiar with Hyundai and its recent products.

Hearing is one of the five senses give n to us. Like the others (v tston, smell, taste, touch), it can be diminished by accidents or j ust plain abu se. · Recreational ac tLvities have the potential to damage your hearing without proper protection; hunting and plinking (i.e., "target" shoot ing) being prime ex amples. Doing thmgs around the house and yard may also intlict damage - like mowing the yard and using other pawer equipment. On top of this is the daily work routine. Business is getting better at identifying work areas where the noise level is hazardous and providing proper protection and surveillance. They had better because job-related hearing loss is a disorder that currently costs the economy about $1 billion every year. It is estimated that more than 30 million l:J .S. workers are exposed to hazardous noise, and an additional 9 million are at risk from exposures th at may damage hearing , such as heat and certain chemical s. Surveillance is a process where. the workplace noise environment is monitored over time as well as indi vid- · ual hearing changes. The workplace noise environment can change due to equipment aging, new equipment, poor maintenance, or a rearrangement of machinery. This next section wi II be a little technical, but sound and hearing are best described with numbers. And, as you all know. numbers are your friends!_ Sound is measured in decibels (dB) which is a logarithmic scale (based :m powers of I0), not a linear one. This allows compression of the scale to include all the sounds that the ear can respond to. Compression is needed because the threshold of pain is ten trillion (that's 10.000,000,000,000) times the intensity of the standard threshold of hearing. A useful general reference is that the "just noticeable difference" in sound intensity for the human ear is about I decibel. Since decibel is a measure of sound intensity ............. • Sunday, October 19, 2003 Pomeroy Sunday, October 19, 2003 rati os. this equates to a ratio where one sound needs to be 1.25 times large r than the other to be notited as ditie rent. One figure for the th reshold of pain is 130 decibels, but th at which may be considered pain ful for one may be welcomed as entertain ment by others. Ge nerally, younger persons are more tolerant' of loud sounds than older persons because their protective mechani sms are more effecti ve. Thi s tolerance DOES NOT MAK E THEM IMMU NE TO TH E DAMAG E that loud sounds can produce. To give a feel for this scale; I deci bel (dB ) is the weakest sound we can hear, normal conversation is 60 dB . manual machining is 80 dB . · a power saw is II 0 dB , pain begin s at 130 dB , a shotgun blast (to the shooter) is 140 dB, and being in the vicinity of a jet pl ane taking off (or a ritle blast ') is I 55 dB . Noise exposure can produce hearing loss depending on the: (I) sound intensity; (2) duration of exposure; (3) frequency composition ; (4) total duration of noise exposure during an expected work life : and (5) individual susceptibility. Hearing loss is an interference with the understanding of speech. This is not to be confused with "selective hearing" which is not actually a hearing Joss but rather·a complex psychological phenomenon typicall y afflicting only the male in the married state. Normal hearing detection ranges from 16 to 20,000 Hz. The understanding of speech ranges from 500 to 2.000 Hz and Joss of hearing generally occurs at 4.000 Hz. Interestingly, hearing loss usually begins at higher tones regardless of the frequency of the offe n din~ noise. Early, signs of heann g loss are : (I J difficulty it1 understand ing spoken words in a noisy environment: (2) need to be near or look at the person speaking to help understand words; (3) famili ar sounds are mufll ed: (4 ) complaints that penpie do not spe ak clearly ; and (5) ringing noises in the ear. The National Institute of Occupation al Safety and Healih (NIOSH) standing recommendation is that a Dr. Stephen Popper worker's average noise exposure over an eight-hour work day should not exceed 85 decibels, A-weighted (dBA). That level is equivalent to 1he noise heard three feet away from an electric drill going into a piece of wood. At 85 dBA , two people standing only three feet from each other would have to shout to hold a conversation. A-weighting refers to a scale on a sound-measurement meter that approximates human hearing. The current permi ssible limit (OSHA) for exposure is 90 dBA. Hearing Joss may be temporary. A temporary threshold shift (TIS) results from REVERSIBLE injury to the inner ear which may last for several hours after exposure lo loud noises. Permanent threshold shift (PTS) is irreversible damage to the inner ear which may be due to brief exposure to extremely high intensity sounds but is more commonly due to prolonged repetitive exposure to lower levels of noise. Because TIS may mimic PTS , hearing tests should be given to individual s only after a "recovery" period of 12-24 hours fol!owmg exposure to hazardous levels ·of nmse . Final thoughts: (I) There are many non"occupational sources of hearing Joss: diabct~s . thyroid dysfunction, aging. ttunnr. vascular compromise. Mcniere 's disease, and even hereditary; (2) Wear hearing protection in BOTH your home and work environment if you need it: and (3) if routinely exposed to a noisy environment. see your physician and have periodic hearing screens.

William Roudebush, one of th e researchers, said th e effect was most pronounced for obese men , those with a body mass index greater than 30. A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight. The body mass index is a measurement of wei ght compared to height. Someone who is 5 feet, 5 inches tall who weighs 150 pounds would have a BMI of 25 . At a weight of ISO pounds, this person's BMI would be 30. Roudebush said his clinic often advises heavier couples with fertility trouble to lose weight before trying an assisted reproduction procedure. Dr. Larry Lipshultz, a male fertility specialist at Baylor University' s College of Medicine in Houston, says it's been known for some time that women who are excessively overweight or underwei ght can have trouble getting pregnant.

President Dwight Eisenhower was a proponent of the plan, under wh ich major interstate routes were given one- or two-digit numbers, and connecting routes and city beltways were assigned three digits. All routes heading from north to south were given odd numbers, which typically increase as you .drive from west to east. All east-west hi ghways have been assigned even numbers, which rise as you drive from south to north. BULLETIN BOARD COURTSIDE Bar & Grill HALLOWEEN Costume Party Friday, October 31st ~.

Research by the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the number of children living in mixed-race families ·has been increasing during the past two decades. There are an estimated 700,000 multicultural families and almost 5 million multicultural children in the United States, according to statistics from the Ohio State University Family and Consumer Sciences program. Such diversity can have many benefits for children who experience two cultures in their own home; however, most parents have strong feelings about how they want to raise their children and how thei r children should behave - a fact which can create stressful situations for parents who come from different backgrou nds. "[Remember that] your spouse or paren ting partner has a cultural background, too, and may have different traditions," says Jane Kostek , child developm ent specialist at Parents as Teac hers National Cen ter, an ea rly childhood paren t education program based in St. Louis. "Blending cultural perspect ives to nurture your ch ild is an important part of becoming a family," she says. Enrich children's lives with cultural traditions. Th ese traditions are what bo nd a family to their heritage by refle cti ng ethnic, racial or national backgrounds. According to Parents as Teachers, lea rnin g about your fami ly's cultural heritage can give children a sen se of identity that extends beyond the immediate family by helping them to realize that they are part of a larger community. And helping children understand th eir own heritage is the first step to teaching tolerance for others. "Traditional celebrations provide an opportunity and a context for making those cultural connections," Kostek says. It is esse ntial that your children understand both parents' traditions, so it's important to make an effort to bring both cultures into the home. A simple way to incorporate two sets of traditions in your child's life is to read folk tales from both cultures and talk about what you learn ed from each story. Connecting with grandparents or older relatives is another great way to promote your child' s social and emotional development. Also, look to opportunities for children to take part in the traditions of other cultu r.es within the community and ' discuss about how the celebrations differ. Holidays are a great time to find cultural activities in the community, but remember that cultural learning can occur at any time of th e year. Blending cultural perspectives can be tricky, but practicing both parents' traditions will open your child's world and provide her with lifelong memori es.
