While the American commander, Army Gen. Tommy Franks, has made no decision yet on the use of ground troops, it is clear he will move U.S. forces closer to key targets in Afghanistan in case anti-Taliban forces cannot finish the job. Those opposition efforts may have gotten a boost in the search for information leading to the Taliban and al-Qaida leadership. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity. said Thursday there were credible reports that Taliban intelligence chief Qari Amadullah had defected to northern alliance rebels. A defense official said Ahmadulla was still negotiating for his surrender in Kandahar, the southern Taliban stronghold that tribal and northern alliance forces have been fighting to capture.

Military tribunals can hold closed-door trials and afford fewer rights for the accused than civilian U.S. courts. For example, two-thirds of a jury can convict in a military court, as opposed to the unanimous civilian court verdicts. Bush, citing precedent from Worldi War II and the Civil War, signed an order to authorize the courts and give himself power to decide who would be tried before them. Aides say it could be weeks or months before the first tribunal is formed, if ever. Vice President Dick Cheney indicated Ahmed Abdel-Rahman, identified hy some U.S. officials as a ranking al-Qaida official, could face trial before such a tribunal. Abdel-Rahman, son of an Egyptian sheik convicted of conspiring to destroy New York City landmarks, is being held by the northern alliance in Mghanistan, Cheney said. In an interview with ABC News, Cheney was asked about the prospects of sending Abdel-Rahman before a tribunal. "The president will make a decision on each case, but clearly a high-ranking al'Qaida official captured in Afghanistan who's been involved in the organization is exactly the kind ofindividual the tribunals were established · for," the vice president Said. • TEMPO SPORTS INSIDE Firefighter enters 4th decade, Cl MarshaH 1oses MAC title, 81 Pomeroy woman collects dolls, Al Franks wants to squeeze the city with selective U.S. bombing and growing pressure from anti-Taliban forces.

Dailey kept that promise, and Friday after 27 yeats on the job, the hospital's administtator and director of nursing said goodbye. She will assume the position of director of nursing at Holzer Medical Center in Jackson next week. Dailey began her career at Veterans Memorial, as many do, in a candystriper uniform. A 1970 graduate of Southern High School, Dailey used the $500 auxiliary scholarship to complete her four-year nursing degree at Ohio State University, arid returned to the hospital on July 2,1974, as a staff nurse. That job was the start of an odyssey of sorts, for Dailey later found herself as director of nursing for the hospital's fledgling long-term care facility, as a qualjty assurance director, and an inservice educator.

When my wife and I went shopping at the Charleston ·mall on Nov. 2, we were amazed and rather depressed as well - to be greeted by giant Christmas ---decorations, along with Christmas music playing over the speaker system. Certainly this worldly season is attempting to overtake, in people's hearts, the Christian Christmas Se.Son. (Do you remember the "12 Days of Christmas" from Christmas Eve through Jan. 6, the Epiphany of the Lord?) With this in mind, I think more and more people, especially our children, are getting impatient until the day (or eve) of Christmas comes, so they can open their presents and "get it over with." Children can't wait to open up their presents - after all, they've been seeing aU the commercials on TV and radio, and flyen in the newspapers advertising aU these Christmas "goOdies!" Many people put up their Christmas trees, lights and decorations during Thanksgiving week, oftentimes wanting to be !he first to take them down the day after Christmas. The purpose of this article is not to condone the world's celebration of the Christmas 'shopping season, which begins some time in November and ends on Christmas Eve. My purpose is to invite aU of us to celebrate a Holy Advent to prepare to celebrate spiritually the Eve and Day of Christmas, as well as the 12 days following. Traditionally, the season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day (usually the last Sunday of November or the first Sunday .in December - this year on 'Dec. 2). It lasts until the GOP fails to reach budget compromise • •• Free shots thursday evening of Dec. 24. The four Sundays, of Advent symbolize the more than 4,000 years the . Chosen People of the Old Testament waited for the Messiah. A key to understanding the ' meaning ofAdvent today is the significance of waiting, while not rushing the inevitable. Why, with aU of our preChristmas hype, do we tell our children to wait until Christmas to open up their presents? Why can't they open them up NOW? Why do many churches celebrate Christmas Eve and Day services, while a few people want to "get it over with" the Sunday before? The answer is that it isn't Christmas yet! . The Season of Advent calls each of us who are Christian to prepare spiritually for the 12 Days of Christmas, and more importandy, for Jesw' Second Coming at the end of time. For instance, during this period, many take more time to pray th:in they normally do. Some will engage in special acts of liiscipline,like giving up desserts or giving to a charitable cause.

(Bryan Long photo) Cuts fmmPapA1 has begun preparing fo~ its four-year service plan, and has begun gathering input from seniors and local leaders for that plan. Graham also urges residents to contact· state legislators to discourage further budget cuts. The state cut funding for seniors' services by 1 percent last year, and is considering additional cuts for the next fiscal year. Significant cuts in funding will affect federal dollars from the Older Americans Act, and would likely create funding shortages on the regional and local levels, Graham said. "The area agency, mental health service agencies and other departments have been able to absorb cuts for now, but won't likely be able to do so if additional cuts are made." Programs which provide inhome services, designed to help older residents stay at home and out of nursing facilities, could be among those hardest hit, Graham said. "It's important that legislators be made aware that funding these programs at present levels will help keep seniors in their own homes, and save the state . funding for nursing home costs," Graham said. "In the long run, it will ·be less expensive - the state will · save money - and it's important that those of us who provide these services make the legislators aware." The nursing home industry packs a powerful lobbying influence, Graham said, but public agencies have countered with their own attempts at grass roots lobbying. · The Beatles wave after arriving at the San Francisco airport in this Aug. 18, 1964, file photo, to begin an American tour.

And NASCAR also took steps toward becoming a more open organization, holding three meetings in which all drivers were invited to sit down with officials to discuss rules and safety issues. "It always takes a unique happening for things to change," driver Brett Bodine said. "Just like our nation had to endure a major tragedy on Sept. II to change its policies, NASCAR had to look in the mirror and say, 'We're not doing enough of our job right for it (Earnhardt's death) to happen in our industry.' "What happened in Daytona changed the whole motorsports world. It made us all aware that no one in motorsporu is not at risk, and we needed to do things to lessen the risks." NASCAR did that again in October, quickly searching for an answers after a t 6-car accident on the final lap of the EA Sports 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. When angry drivers confronted Helton about the current racing conditions at Daytona and TaHadega, NASCAR's biggest and fastest tracks, the sanctioning body responded with a brainstorming session attended by drivers, crew chiefs and car owners.

NASCAR slowed the pit road speeds and widened thdane, as well as discussing making helmets mandatory for those who go over the wall on stops. Many teams donned the helmets themselves, showing once again that safety has risen to a new level in NASCAR. While the fallout from the Earnhardt's death was a season-long process off the track, the drivers did their best on the track to go forward - even· after the schedule was extended to run the New Hampshire race on the day after Thanksgiving following its postponement from Sept. t 5 due to the terrorist attacks. The season was punctuated by five first-time winners, including Harvick and Elliott Sadler, two young drivers who have joined Earnhardt Jr. to bring an MTV crowd into the sport with conservative southern roots. .

(AP) Patriots receiver Terry Glenn says he'll appeal his latest suspension after missing practice in a dispute with ·coach Bill Belichick over a hamstring injury. Glenn told the Boston Globe he was willing to drop all his grievances against the Patriots if he can go to another team. "I don't need a big contraer;· said Glenn, whose five grievances include one to regain the sigoing bonus the team withheld. "I'd rather be happy than make a lot of money. I'm not happy here." Glenn, who missed the pall six games with the injury, was suspended Thursday for one game by Belichick. The two "had words" on the practice field Wednesday, Glenn told the Globe. For the first time in seven .weeks, the Patriots upgraded Glenn to probable on their injury report, meaning the team felt he had a 75 percent chance of playing Sunday at the New York Jets. "It's been six weeks since the injury," Belichick said Thursday. "It's gotten better." Glenn said it wasn't good enough. Doctors and trainers never told him he was cleared to practice, and he never reported that he was ready, he told the Globe.' "The only one I heard it from was Belichick," said !Glenn, who has played in one of New England's 11 games. "I guess he's a doctor now." Glenn was not available Friday for comment. The Patriots did not return a call seeking reaction. On Wednesday, Belichick uid Glenn's suspension was a disciplinary matter that wasn't injury- related. He said it was team policy not to provide details. Glenn said he planned to rerum to the team Monday after his suspension ends. He also said he didn't empty his locker, which was missing his nameplate and had ·only an ankle brace inside Thursday. Glenn missed the first four games of the season serving an NFL suspension for vialating its substance abuse policy. Belichick's attempt to suspend him for the season for leaving training camp was overturned by an arbitrator. Thursday's suspension is "the latest in a long list of thing> they try· to accuse me of. It never ends. Why keep it lingering like this year after year? Let's just move · on," Glenn told the Globe. "It's never going to end until we part our separate ways." Belichick said Thursday, "I'm not trying to make any determination on the future right now. We're just dealing with the situation· as it is." It's been a chaotic year for the fourth-leading receiver in Patriots history. Next Tuesday, he has a hearing in Wrentham District Court to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery on the mother of his son. A felony charge of intimidating a witness was dismissed earlier.

Glenn made an immediate contribution in a 29- 26 win over San Diego, catching seven passes for 110 yards and a touchdown. Glenn complained of leg soreness after that game and hasn't played since. In an interview last Sunday night on WBZ-TV after New England's 34- 17 win over New Orleans, Glenn implied that his injury was rdated to the team's decision to withhold $8.5 million of his S11 million signing bonus. "I'm bothered by a hamstring right now, and I'm not getting paid," he told WBZ. "You do the math." The comment wos interpreted by some to mean he faked the injury, but Glenn denied that. "I did not say that I wasn't playing because I wasn't getting paid," Glenn sa:id. "I don't care how people interpret it. I didn't say it, because that's not true.

It's been almost 30 years now, and Melvin Hicks doesn't regret a single minute yet. Hicks, a 74-year- old firefighting veteran getting ready to see Valley Volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Services roll into its 30th year as a chartered facility, said g.etting Valley chartered and movmg was not an easy task. But being involved from day one has had many rewards, he said. "I started out with five other guys having meeting> at different places, differe.nt people's houses, until we finally started getting the county involved," Hicks said. "It I veteran Valley volunteer riflects' .on three decades of service . ti helped some that I had a brother.l in-law working at the courthouse to help get us started with everything and in the right direction." · What eventually became Valley Volunteer began with Hicks and those five men and an old army truck donated by the civil service department they had rigged up :r.' , water tank and l>Ump on. Jackel$ · and other equipment were obtained through borrowed money from banks and donations ---- ---------- -' ·-·- from people in the community. It wasn't until 1973 that the county commission purchased an actual fire truck for Valley. "For a while there we had just that truck and we were out on calls fighting fire s in our own clothes," he said, "and since there were only a few of us, we had to call in help sometimes from other stations." Another drawback at the time · was there was no single place for people to call to report a fire or ~-----"---- accident since there was no actual station yet, so Hicks said there was one phone number that rang at all six of their residences when something.happened. "Sometime. people don't realize just how expensive it is to operate a fire and rescue station," Hicks said. "Even , simple things like phone service 'has to be paid for ~omehow." Other utilities were hard-fought for, also, Hicks said. Valley had had an ongoing battle for many years with the water company that supplie. water to the Apple Grove area.Val• ley fills trucks from twO different hydrants, one of them being located at the old Sunnyside Elementary School location. Hicks said that at one time the water was being shut off at that hydrant for several months at a time - usually in the summer because the water company didn't want Valley using the hydrant. So · Hicks said they ended up telling people in the community about the problem and it evenrually has gotten much better. PIMM ...

BY MORRIS AND JAMES CAREY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Got a door that was trimmed off and rehung without getting repainted? Wood doors must be painted on all six sides (front, back, top, bottom and on both edges) because unpainted ·tops and bottoms - especially on exterior doors allow moisture to be absorbed, which causes cracking, warping and paint failure. Bottom edges commonly are left exposed when new carpeting is installed or Jhen a new threshold is put in place, and the door is trimmed for greater clear1 ance. If the bottom wasn't painted before the door was rehung, you might be able to paint it while it's in place. First cover the floor with a plastic drop clbth. Even a large plastic trash bag will do.

Willie moves to England, where he pursues the life of a writer. Unlike Naipaul, however, he does so without conviction. When asked in passing what he Wants to do, he decides suddenly, "I want to write~" As the product of a colonized society, Willie compounds the identity crisis that colonization provokes by trying to become fully assimilated into the ascendant culture. He complicates his struggle further by trying to be an artist. He understands implicitly the power that writing confers on the writer.

Jones gets personal, but doesn't waste much time answering critics. He lightly dismisses disapproval of his string of interra cial marriages by some in the black community. In Seattle, where Jones lived for a while, the pickings among sisters were few, he says, so he learned to "expand his criteria."

(AP photo) NEW YORK (AP) Carol Burnett always ended her show by singing "I'm so glad we had this time together," and riow CBS is glad it put Burnett back together with her former co-stars. "The Carol Burnett Show: Show Stoppers" drew almost 30 million viewers Monday night, one of the ' biggest tune-ins this season. "We expected it to do well," CBS chief Leslie Moonves said Wednesday, ubut w~ wefe very, very ·pleasantly surprised by how well it did." · The retrospective featured vintage outtakes as well as newly taped reminiscences by . ,Burnett, Harvey Korman, . Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence. The original com~dy-variety series ran on <;:BS from 1967 to '78, when such shows were becc;>ming extinct. "It was a return to good, old-fashioned comedy," said Moonves. "It was like welcoming old friends back into your house." . That welcome was extended even by younger viewers, which the Burnett special also won in its time slot. It scored a robust 23 percent share of- the 18-to-49-yearold audience. "Our biggest surprise was the 18-to-49 number," Moonves said. "We were very pleased by how they reacted, that they knew about the show, that they grew u11 watching the show in syndication." The Burnett show ranks as TV's fourth-biggest audience-grabber so far this season, behind only the bro~d­ cast of the World Series' seventh game and two episodes of NBC's "Friends." . "Now that we're dealing with lower household numbers, the 18-to-49 ·numbers are, quite frankly, not what we had hoped them to be," Braun said. · It's probably the single greatest factor behind ABC's slide this yea( to a distant third behind NBC and CBS. Fox has also been doing · better lately among young audiences, and all of ABC's competitors are considered to have a stronger group of scripted shows.

"It gets too hard to quit." Hicks said most of the younger crew members start out in high school as junior · firefighters, which means they can report to a fire with the. crew, but they can't actually help fight the flames. Once they turn 18 and get some state-taught classes under dleir belt, they become senior firemen and are able to work side-by-side with the others. Most of the training at the classes, Hicks said, is mainly common sense, but the junior firemen still have to be certified by the state. ' "We don't let anyone drive any of the trUcks, though, until they've turned 21,and then it's also dependent on how they drive their own vehicle," Hicks said. Hicks said that although he does go out on calls with th.e crew, he stopped driving any of the fire true~ several years ,ago when it became too hard for him to see the rear end and get the trucks backed out of areas.

This annual show is designed to give professional and advanced amateur photographers a look at the latest products in the everchanging field of imaging. This year, digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras were a "hot" topic. Ranging in price from $3,000 to $7,000, these cameras are not designed for the snapshooter. Rather, 'they are geared for pro(essionals who demand high-quality images, and for advanced amateurs who like to play professional photographer on weekends and when they travel. In addition to image quality, professional digital SLRs accept a wide range oflenses, from wide-angle to telephoto, to meet the needs of photographers involved in many aspects of photography. They also accept more powerful add-on flash units, which are useful . when photographing subjects from a distance. What's more, they feature either a high-resolution viewing screen on the camera back or a magnifyil).g feature for enlarging part of tlie displayed picture. So. users can see immediately whether they have the shot. Here's a look at the pro SLRs that were shown. Canon unveiled its EOS1D, a 4 · megapixel camera capable of shooting eight frames per second. Fuji demonstrated its Fine Pix S1 Pro, a 3.4 megapixel came"i' that has a 1.1 inch Super CCD sensor for high-resolution files . Kodak showed its new DCS 760, a 6 million pixel camera based on the Nikon FS camera body. Nikon had its two top models on display - the D1H for high-speed photography and the DlX, a 5.4 megapixel camera that's an updated version of the company's Dl. Along with high-image quality comes high-file size. Some of these cameras can Ranging in price from $3,000 to $7,000, these cameras are not designed for the snapshooter. produce a per-image file of around 18 megabytes, which is why the quality il so high. (Smaller files, at lower quality settings, can also be produced.) So, if you were to take 36 pictures at the 18 MB set,ting, they would take up about 648 megabytes of file space. To solve the picture storage challenge, IBM offers a I GB (gigabyte) micro drive (actually a tiny hard drive that spins around) and SanDisk offers a 1GB CompactFlash Type-1 memory card - each of which fits into the CompactFlash 'JYpe-1 memory card slot in a digital cam= (not all digital cameras have this size slot). The IBM micro drive sells for about $500, and the SanDisk memory card sells for less than $800. If you don't need a professional SLR but still. want some of the benefits that digital SLR photography offers, Minolta has its 5 megapixel Dimage-7 and Olympus offers its 4 megapixel D-40. These cameras sell for less than $1,000 and feature a built-in zoom lens. No matter which camera you use, remember the old photo adage: "Cameras don't take pictures, people do."

Thr., odor of pine, spruce or fir helps many people get into , the spirit of the holidays; however, practicality needs to be looked into. Ask yourself the following questions. How long will the tree be decorated? How much weight can you carry? Do you have other uses for the tree after the holiday season? · Can you use more than one tree in the house? Do you like to care for a plant on a daily basis? Planting a balled and burlapped Christmas tree each year is great way to teach your children about and backyard plants improvement. Buy early for the best selection, but remember to leave the tree outside in :i protected area (north or east side of the house).

Artifictal Christmas trees are used by many homeowners due to their overall light weight and ease of setup (some are more difficult than others).

Dl -Saying forewellr·' · Gallia County GALLIPOLIS Dear Gallia County Community: Those of you who are loyal readers know that this will be my last article as an agriculture agent, as I have accepted a position with the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation (SOACDF) as a field representative for Gallia and the surrounding southeastern Ohio tobacco counties. Primarily, I will be working with tobacco producers and quota owners who wish to secure funds from the foundation to start new enterprises and enhance existing agri-businesses. Although I )"ill be responsible for several counties, Gallia is the largest tobacco county among them, thus it stands to reason that a significant part of my. work will be concentrated here at home. Over the past five years, I have had the pleasure of writing to the community each Sunday and although many of these articles did not come easy, this one was by far the most difficult to write. Because I came to Gallipolis just three weeks out of college with only academic experiences on Virginia Tech's teaching farm, the agricultural community and Extension pledged an unprecedented amount of time and energy to my training and establishment in the counry To say thank you to the community for the lessons and mentoring is simply not enough, and my gratitude makes it very difficult to leave this position. It was the extraordinary level of commitment by the community and Extension that has motivated me professionally and sustained me personally, both of which brought peace of mind to my family Jennifer Byrnes GUEST VIEW in Virginia. Clearly, the agriculture program is only as strong as the community that supports it. I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to the coworkers, hiring committee members, commodity group leaders, 4-H organizations and individual producers who for the past five years have sacrificed family and work time, energy, and resources assisting me behind the scenes so that I could have a field day, write an article, conduct research, or simply understand a concept or solve a production problem. You opened your homes and farms to me and served as mothers, fathers, mentors, and friends, making life away from home much easier. ·I ·especially want to thank tbe women and wives for their friendship and support. So often it was you who greeted me at the door, befriended me on a bus trip, or made reassuring eye contact during a program. I found allies in all of you, and it has made all the difference in my life here. It has been a privilege to write to you each week, to celebrate your triumphs, and "to be a part of your lives and those of your children. I feel very fortunate to have been able to start my career here.

(AP) - ~ Babymoon Cafe has wimessed an unhapt · miracle of sorts: The rec ' -i on has turn.d wine imo water.

Over time, an individual can contribute up to the maximum set by each state's plan. Currently, the highest maximum is $246,000. In some states, residents receive a state income. tax deduction for contributing. In short, the new plan : allows for more flexible col: lege savings by permitting _individuals to make larger ' contributions than what has been allowed in the past, while also providing estate and tax planning benefits. : Two parties are involved in · every 529 savmgs plan account the donor, or account owner, and the beneficiMy, or future college student. Contributions made by the donor are treated as gifts for taX purposes, which means they qualifY for the Sl 0,000 annual tax gift exclusion. ., Moreover, as long as no ·additional gifts are made · to , that beneficiary for a five-year .period, the donor can con.tribute up to $50,000 - or ,$100,000 per couple - per ;beneficiary, without federal ;:Sift-taX consequences. This . means that larger contribu' tions can be invested sooner :and will begin growing taxdeferred. In addition, the account is not considered part of the account owner's taxable estate. Let's look at one set of grandparents who have a $1 million estate and six grandchildren. Under current estate tax laws, $675,000 would be exempt from estate taxes with the remaining $325,000 subject to taxation. With the 529 savings plan as an option, $50,000 could be contributed to a 529 savings plan in i single year for each of the six grandchildren, thus sheltering $300,000 from taxation. Clearly, there are several advantages to funding ihis type of account for the donor. Yet there are also-tremendous benefits when it's time to begin using the money as the student enters coll~ge, Let's consider another example. A mother has set up a 529 savings plan account for her son, Johnny When the grilled vegetable sandwiches on focacru and less of the S17.95 filet mignon whiskey tarragon. " Like some of these people that worked for the dot""'oms or what-have-you last year, they would come in here for lunch, and four guys would spend he says. "Where now, first of all, you don't see those four sso;· time comes, Johnny can use the account for qualified expenses at any accredited institution of higher education for the United States and in some foreign insritutions. This includes colleges, universities and graduate schools, as well as most community colleges and vocational-technical schools, whether public or private. Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for enrollment or attendance. Furthermore, Johnny has the abiliry to claim tax deductions on his tuition. As money is taken from the 529 savings plan to pay for qualified expenses, equal portions of principal and earnings are taken tax-free. In addition, under the provisions of the 529 savings plan, if Johnny quits after a week of school - or if he decides not to attend college at all - his mother would assume complete control of the money. In other words , when Johnny turns the age of majori"ty, ~e does not have access to the money like he would have had in a UTMAIUGMA account. Furthermore, Johnny's mother can change the beneficiary of the account to another member of the family. She can also take the money out of the account, although a 10 percent penalty _would apply for doing so and earnings would be taxed at her income taX rate. The 529 savings plan can be a powerful, flexible, cax-free way to save for higher educa(ion and shelter !J,ard-earned dollars from estate taxation.

"One of the big pluses of this fabric - it will take any form or shape that you want it to," Simpson said. "It doesn't take · its final form until it's laminated in epoxy." The Japanese used the mat""ial to reinforce buildings against seismic activiry. In the United States, engineers quickly identified carbon fiber as a possible fix for aging bridges. "This material is totally flexible," Ganjehlou said. "It is very thin sheets of carbon, like a fabric. It goes over any shape, any curve. Just imagine putting wallpaper on the wall. It's that easy to apply." That was the case with the Kentucky bridge, Harik said. The carbon fiber was glued in place with epoxy, then coated with an additional layer of epoxy. "The state would have had to repair the entire superstructure in the neKt three to four years;' Harik said. "Cracks were growing at a fast rate. Now, we are confident that it will last at least 50 years." Glenn Givan, chief bridge en~ineer . in the State Transportation ·Cabinet, said the Grayson span was the first in Kentucky to receive the treatment. It will be closely monitored, but· Givan said the method already has been proven in other states as a viable option for bridge repam. The cost of repairing the Grayson bridge was less than $100,000, Harik said . To replace the bridge in three to four years would have cost $300,000 to $400,000. "The cost is not only the bridge replacement. It's also inconvenient to motorists. In order to replace that bridge, the road would have to be · dosed. With this repair, we did not stop any traf!i c." Harik said many people can't believe that a bridge can be repair.d with a thin fabric. "But when I teU them the strength ofit, then they reconsider their opinion;· he said. A carbon fiber thinner than a human hair will break at approximately 1 million pounds of pressure per square inch, Ganjehlou said. In comparison, steel used in reinforcing bridges, he said, breaks at about 90,000 pounds per square inch. A number of states, including California, Ne~ York and Aorida, have begun using the material on bridges. Ganjehlou said the material has become the option of choice for repairing steel and conc~ete pillars damaged when struck by trucks beneath overpas>es. In eastern Kentucky.
