Annstead a Redskin BY liiE ASSOCIATED PRESS . . Like many of Baltimore's starten fiom last season, Elvis Grbac is no longer a Raven. But Jessie Armstead !u.s a new team a day after being released by the Giants _ the Washington Redskins l:riday was the tint day of free agency in the NFL and there were more cuts than signings _ other than by Washington, which also signed wide receiver Redial Anthony fiom Tampa Bay. Grbac, a major disappointment after being signed , last year to upgrade ·the Ravens' offense, was let go Friday after declining to renegotiate the $30 million, five-year deal he signed a year ago after Baltimore won the Super Bowl. "We're disappointed for us and for Elvis, • coach Brian Billick said. "We thought a new contract would not only give us obvious help with our salary cap, but benefit Elvis, too. We were looking forward to facing the challenges of next season, when we believed he would play at a higher level for us." Chicago quar1erback Jim Miller, an unrestricted free agent, agreed to a fiveyear contract Friday night. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "I'm excited," Miller said. "This is the place I've wanted to be all along. Both sides all along were very confident that we would get this done and both sides are very happy.~ Another veteran quarterback, Jeff Blake, was released by New Orleans. And . with team officials and agents tied up at the NFL sco11ting combine, most teams had no time to work out free agents let alone sign them. . . But not Washington, which grabbed up Armstead, the five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, released Thursday by New York. The move harkens back to two seasons ago, when owner Daniel Snyder snapped up big-name free agents Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders and Jeff George and still finished 8-8. • There were several re-signings. Running back Antowain Smith, a major factor in New England's run to the NFL title last season, re-signed with the Patriots for a reported $21 million over five years. He signed last season ·after being released by Buffalo for $1 .I million, $600,000 of it in incentives, and gained 1,157 yards rushing. Strong safery Darren Woodson of the Cowboys and fullback William Hendeeson of the Packers, both ?f unrestricted free agents, also were re-signed by the~r teams. • . ~'?ebac~er Donnae Edwards, Kansas · C1ry s leadmg tackler, was released by the Chiefs after failing to reach agreement on a new deal. And St. Louis released starting right offensive tackle Ryan Tucker to clear S2 million in salary cap space. Grbac's release was not unexpected after a season in which his 71 .1 quarterback rating ranked 24th in the NFL. He had 15 touchdown passes and 18 inter~ ceptions. On Tuesday, the Ravens suggested he would have to renegotiate to stay with the team. In the past week, the Ravens have released tight end Shannon Sharpe, safery Rod Woodson, defensive end Rob Burnett and wide receiver Qadry Ismail among others. Two weeks ago, they lost linebacker Jamie Sharper and wide receiver-kick returner Jermaine Lewis to Houston in the expansion draft. Grbac would have been due for a $6 milli~n bonus if he was on the team's roster at 4 p.m. on Friday. The move leaves the Ravens with just two quarterbacks _ 39-year-old Randall Cunningham, who also is a free agent and third-year-man Chris Redman, who has throw!Yihree passes in two NFL seasons. Armstead's signing by the Redskins to a three-year, $4.5 million deal, comes after he made the Pro Bowl despite a subpar season _ his first as a starter in which he did not lead the Giants in tackles. But Snyder, who has assumed more responsibiliryfor personnel after giving it last season to now departed coach Marry Schottenheimer, apparently couldn't resist getting another big name, especially fiom a division rival. And Anthony gives new coach Steve Spurrier a player who played for him at Florida. Blake, signed by the Saints as their starter before the 2000 season, threw for 2,025 yards, 13 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in leading the Saints to a 73 record before he broke his left foot. Aaron Brooks took over and the Saints went to 10-6 for the year and got the first playoff victory in team history. B rooks go t th e JO · b back th.IS season, making Blake ·expendable.

"I'm made to have a star on my hel'met," said Woodson, who is 59 tackles away frOm passing Lee Roy Jordan as the team's career leader. "It shows they've been loyal to me and I'm loyal to them also. 11 , • Henderson, drafted by the Packers in the third round of the 1995 draft, elected to stay with the team he's played with his · entire career.

Ben Howard debuts .with Padres after accident BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS . .. .' ... ... T I. I I ..1 Ben Howard was lucky just to take the field. Howard made his San Diego Padres debut Friday, pitching two weeks after surviving an auto accident that killed teammate Mike Darr and one of Darr's friends. ':Everybody has come to see how I'm doing," said Howard, who won't talk about the crash that killed Darr and Duane Johnson on Feb. 15. "That's helped me out a lot. They haven't let me just sit in my locker by myself with my thoughts. I ·give them a lot of credit." Howard pitched 1 2-3 innings of a 6- I loss to the Colorado Rockies in Tucson, Ariz. Terry Shumpert hit a grand slam and Denny Neagle pitched two shutout. innings for Colorado. Howard came on with one out in the fourth inning and promptly struck out Todd Helton and Todd Zeile. In the fifth, Howard allowed a walk to Benny Agbayani but did not · allow a hit or run . "I'm still trying to recover," Howard said. "My ribs are still pretry sore. But . I think it's corning back pretry well. My arm. feels good." Curt Schilling picked up where he left off for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The coMVP of last year's World Series threw three shutout innings as Arizona beat the Chicago White Sox 13-6 in Tucson. Schilling, a career-best 22-6 last season and runner-up to teammate Randy Johnson for the Cy Young Award, struck out three, walked none and allowed two hits in his 33pitch outing. "I tried to show up at the park like this was opening day 'of the regular season," he said. "The night before I visualize going out there and being on the mound. It's one of the few places . in the world where I really feel like I belong, and getting back out there is a very comfortable feeling." In one of the odditi~s of spring baseball, Arizona's Rod Barajas, pinch-hitting for reliever Mike M yen, homered in the eighth, then Myers came back to pitch to two batters in the ninth inning. Chicago manager Jerry Manuel agreed to allow Myers to retum to the game. Elsewhere at spring training, Sammy Sosa will miss 2-to-3 days because of a strained right ankle. Sosa, who· hit 64 home runs and drove in 160 runs last year, was injureil during in the Cubs' exhibition game Thurs~ day. X-rays Friday were negative. "Its nothing to be alarmed about," Cubs manager Don Baylor said in Mesa, Ariz. "He can put a little weight on it, but not much. It shouldn't be any longer than a couple of days."

Their names are Cindy, JoAnn, Loretta and Katie, among others, and they are shouldering shotguns and taking to Ohio to introduce others to the sport of shootil'lg, along with taking the name of" litde Annie sure shot," Annie Oakley. The Annie Oakley Women's Shooting Association recently held its organizational .meeting, electing officers, voting qn bylaws and setting a monthly schedule fhr sporting clay shoots around the state. ; Sixteen women attended the organizational meeting, all quick to say despite the name, membership is open t<• men. . " If not for husbands and partners, we copld not put on our shoots," said Vice President JoArin Mizer. · Sporting clay shooting is best described aS combining golf with trap shooting. Shoote~ work through "stations," each presentihg a clay target in a variety of angles and $izes. · The group aligns with various sporting and gun.clubs around the state to sponsor monthly shoots in March through O ctober. Bess Edwards, great niece of Annie Oakley, spoke to the group at its Febru ~ ary meeting. Edwards also is president of the Annie Oakley Foundation based in Greenville, where Oakley was born and is buried. Edwards is traveling the state making presentations about the life of her sharpshooting great aunt, whose real name was Pheobe Ann Mo1ey. . Last year, the group operated as the Annie Oakley Chapter of the Women's Shooting Sports Foundatio n. When the foundation was absorbed by the National Wild Turkey Foundation, the. local chapter declined to go along despite losing name recognition and funding. "We were concerned about the lack of emphasis on competition shooting so we decided to go out on our own," Mizer said.· The women needed a name and President Sharon Davidson said continuing to. honor Ohio's famous female shooter from Darke County was a unanimous choice. "Annie Oakley was from Ohio and is our most famous female shooter. She was a lady shooter who had grace and digtiity, so we felt it natural to keep an association with her name," Davidson said. The group now has 134 people on its mailing list and is looking to grow. Last year, up to 35 women regularly attended shoo ts and 39 couples participated in the Memorial D ay and Labor Day couples tournaments. The group's two holiday tournaments are the biggest undertaking with the Memorial Day shoot hel.d at Elk Horn Shooting Club in Bucyrus and Labor Day scheduled for the Scioto River Sportsman's Club in Roundhead. Both of these shoots are a couples shoot and all proceeds go to the 4-H Shooting Sports, a 10-year- old program that teaches life skills through shooting sports.With almost 400 certified shooting instructors, the program had more than 9,000 youth involved in the year 2000. The schedule for the shooting association: March 16, couples shoot at Hog C reek Gun Club, Ada; April, couples shoot at an undecided site; May 25- 26, Annie Oakley Ladies Shpot at Elk Horn Gun Club, Bucyrus; June 29, couples shoot at Rush Creek Gun Club, Belle Center; July, couples shoot at an undecided site; Aug. 31 -Sept. 1, Annie Oakley Ladies Shoot at Scioto River Gun Club, Roundhead; and O ctober, membership ·banquet/ league shoot/ couples shoot at Clark County Sportsman's Club, Springfield.

"To me; enforcing the rule just became pairs figure skating at the Olympics. It all comes down to NASCAR's judgment," he said • The inconsistencies in Winston Cup racing have not reached the level of scandal ·seen in Salt Lake City, but NASChR has not been without its share of credibility problems through the first two races of the season. From a · discrepancy over when to red-flag a race to penalizing drivers under the yellow-line rule, nothing has been consistent. Questions have been raised before · about spotty enforcement of NASCAR's rules. In fact, it can be difficult even to get a copy of the series' official rule book. "I think NASCAR is always subject to criticism for any number of reasons, whether it's a subjective call that makes one side happy or one side mad, or a kind of ball and strike call;' said spokesman Jim Hunter. "But overall, I think our credibility hangs on whether ·or not we do the right thing more times than not "It's very difficult to get every single thing right in our sport because things happen so fast and because special cir- cumstances arise so often." penalized.

My cu,rrent husband, "Austin," and I have a gOod marriage. He is wonderful to me. I have three chil<!r'en from a previous ~r­ riage. My ex-husband, "Chet," and I are great friends. I have never stopped loving him. That is my problem. I dream of Chet every night. I think of him all day. I don't know how to get him out of my mind and heart. Abby, I am committed to my marriage and take my vows seriously, but it's ~ost like I am emotionally cheating on Austin. I have even considered leaving him because I feel so guilty about the way I feel. I know I could never be reunited with Chet, but I don't think I love Austin the way a wife should. Is it wrong to have feelings about your children's father? . CONFLICTED IN .COLORADO DEAR CONFLICTED: No. Chet may have been a poor hus)!~nq, bu.tthe attraction ,ypu felt for him is · still powerful. I call , it moth-tothe•flame syndrome. Even 'though the moth may get singed to obliyion, the attraction is still there. " What wo~ld be wrong wpu)d be to ACT on those (etlings. Consider this: The objects we . dream about are usually symbolic. Counseling could help you to figure out what Chet symbolizes in your dreams and fantasies. If may not be what you think. DEAR A.{JBY: Our elementary school second-grade class had an assembly conducted by the local fire d'epartment. The firemen demonstrated their equipment, let the children try on helmets and protective clothing, and talked to them about fire safety. One thing they did was show the children how to crawl out of a room or house ~hat was on fire. One child in the class is in a wheelchair. He cannot walk or crawl or maneuver his manual chair by himself, This student's one-on-one aide thought the boy should learn what HE should do if he was ever in a fire. She decided that ' he could yell for help so the firemen could find him. Now when she brings him to my office for toileting, she puts him · on the toile't and then )eaves the room to give him some privacy. When he's ready to get back in his chair, he is to yell loudly. His normal speaking voice is very soft, so he had to be trained to yell loudly. Some people in the school have been frightened when they heard him yell, "Help! I'm in h~re!" from ·the bathroom - but it just 'may save his life one day. TUCSON, ARIZ., EDU'cATOR DEAR EDUCATOR: I am all for a child .being prepared in case of an emergency.

In other words, 6.1ten affect what we hear and say, and most importantly how we interpret,. the conversation. How we feel, what we think, what goes on around us, and our own personal experiences all influence how we "hear" what is said.

Parent Awareness for Student Success (P.A.S.S.) was designed to make parents and students more aware of the state-mandated proficiency tests. The evening began with a· general meeting and Introduction Jed by Principal David Moore . Afterward, the pare~J,ts went to hometyoms to get a sample of what the proficiency test is like. Fifth and sixth grade students and their parents were introduced to information on the Sixth Grade Proficiency · ..!fest. Seventh-grade students and their parents were 'introduced to the Ohio Graduation Test. Eighth-grade students were given information . on the Ninth Grade Proficiency Test. Sample proficien- . cy questions were gicen to the parents. They were permitted to use their son or daughter as a resource. A helpful hints packet was diistributed to all participants. In the computer lab, participants were educated on how to access information for the proficiency on teh Ohio Department of Education website. A question and · ranswer session wrapped up the workshop. Most par~nt• had their eyes opened ·about the proficiency testing in Ohio. Many said that they were "overwhelmed" by the information. The K.C.M .S. P.T.O. supplied refreshments foUowing this. event.

"I think the most impressive bust was September of 2001 when Trooper 1 Jim Hannon had a vehicle _ptopped on U.S. 35 approximately 1- 112 miles west of the Silver Bridge. "Trooper Hannon noticed that the driver of the car was · acting very suspiciously · and found that he had a criminal history .for trafficking in narcotics. We wer~ called to perform a vehicle sniff and Virago alerted us to a duffel bag in passenger side floorboard which contained 4.84 pounds of co.caine." The cocaine that Virago found had an estimated. 'street value of $500,000. And, although Gallia County Sherilf's Deputy Aaron -t1etzler and his partner Jese, a female German Shepherd, have only been on the road a short time, they too are amassing an impressive record. "We're like rookies coming out on the street," Metzler said. "But I think that she is probably one of the best drug dogs in the state. In the last three months we have stopped 90 plus cars, retrieving over one pound of. marijuana, one gram of hash, 1-2 grams of cocaine, and a great deal of drug paraphernalia. 1 'Jese has also been responsible for two criminal apprehensions through tracking and has found vital evidence on a burglary scene," he .added. Jese and Virago are both dual purpose dogs. They do drug searches, building searches, article searches, track criminals, kids and Alzh~imer's patients, and are used for handler protection . ,. I,.' •( ' ( I "Virago would willingly take a bullet or take on a man with a knife to protect Matt. That's his job;' Brandeberry s:iid. "But woe unto anyone who hurts that dog, he has won the hearts of everyone on this department." Metzler and Gallia County Sheriff David Martin think the same way. . "Everyone in the department, as well as in the community, has responded really well to Jese;' he said. So, is there any competition between the dogs? Absolutely not, their handlers say. ."Jese and Virago get along great together," Metzler said. "They make a great team." The dogs train together every other Wednesday with other K.:9-- units in the area, and both also play the role as family pet when not working, but one thing is for sure, Jese and Virago know the difference between work and home. "At home, he's just a regular dog;' Champlin s:iid. "Very protective of me and my family." Jese, who was purchased with money from drug seizures, drug fines and donations from businesses and the community, came to the department to. deal with the growing concealment drug problem, Martin said. "She is able to detect drugs that we can't see. We also wanted a dog to assist 'i n the schools and on searches," he added. Martin hopes to raise enough funds to purchase another K-9 unit in the near future, providing even more coverage for the county. Both dogs also have bulletproof vests and their own badges. Virago's was purchased by a donation from the Gallipolis Emblem' Club and Jese's was purchased through of th'e , 11~U· nd-ral· Sl, ng· e"'ortS 11• Gall' c A .mal ~ If: re Ja ounty nt e a Officer Carol LemJey.
