Unfortunately, the no-brainer politically is just plain nobrainer if the government moves too fast in an area still too little understood by politicians and the public. In July, the House voted to ban all human cloning, whether it -was aimed at replicating individual human beings or at harvesting embryonic seem cells to treat disease. That is the work recently announced by a company, Advanced CeO Technology, that has provoked .calls from the 'president and others to move the anti-cloning bill in the Senate.... One sensible approach is for the president and the Department of Health and Human Services to tl)OVe quickly to appoint members to the newly formed President's Council on Bioerhics, which will be headed by a respected conservative, Leon Kass of the University of Chicago. The council should urgently review these issues before the Senate moves precipitously.

Chris Matthews WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Internet ·undermines stock market WASHINGTON -A new wave of white-collar crime is sweeping Am~rica, made possible by the Internet and justi~ fied by the First Amendment. It is "pseudonym ctime:' in which people use fictiti_ous names to spew out all sorts of venom. The concept of anonymous advocacy, however, is rooted in American tradition. When the Articles of Confederation failed to create a stable govetnmeAt, the Constitution was written, but it needed to be confirmed by at least nine states. This requirement led to the publication of the Federalist Papers, 85 articles written by constitutional advocates including future President James Madison, future Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, and future Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay, who used the pseudonym Publius. The sinister form of Internet anonymity plays on that venerable example and works like this: A company or individual wants ' to undermine a competitor, so he goes into the Internet chat rooms to tell the public the inside scoop on the other company. But because the disseminators of this information believe their identities are hidden, the temptation to play fast and loose with the truth is significant, and many of them cross over the line. Crossing over the line takes on various forms. It can be libel, an offense that can inal damage continue•, and that damage is immediate and significant.

"Going from practices to scrimmages to games, you're not sure how it's gonna translate, especially in the first game," said Gallia mentor Jim Osborne.

"I was very surprised that CJ. had the ' ability to play as well as she did,"Wright . continued. "She seems to be very focused on scoring even though at times she still plays with a small limp from where the knee is a little tender."

"I don't know what kind :of a percentage they shot, : but I know it was very : high," said Layton. "I know a : couple of kids seemed like : they didn't miss tonight." That was especially true in . the first quarter where freshman Michaer Hill scored 12 of his 21 points, including a pair of three-point goals. · · "(Hill) didn't play like a freshman out there tonight," said McClung. "He can just do that on his own. He's head-and-shoulders above the other freshmen, and even some of our varsity. He has .a nice shot. He's been a leader." .

She also led her team in scor: ing. rebounding and shooting percentage. "The only thing that surprises us is how so many teams want to challenge her," said her coach, Lynn Ullom.

Since then, it's been nothing but niliery. Instead of playing for fint place ·Sunday at Paul Brown Sladium, the two fast starten are just trying to finiJh in one piece. Last place is on the line for the Jaguars (3-8) and the Bengals (4-7), who are scrounging for motiwtion to keep going - and a win to keep them from going over the edge. "We hear it all the time aro\tiid here: Why?" Jaguan quarterback Mark Brunell said. "Why is this happening?" In the Jaguan' case, it's a matter of injuries and salary cap cutbacks adding up to a second straight losing season. The poster boys for quick success as an expansion team have sunk to the depths of their inaugura! season. Jacksonville haS gone 3-8 only one other time, in its introductory season of 1995. The Jaguars then ran off four straight winning seasons, including reaching an AFC championship game in 1999, before sliding to 7-9last year. That was a prelude to this season's meltdown, which includes eight losses in the last nine games and worries that further ~alary cap problems could gut the team even more in the offieason. The distractions make it a . little tough to concentrate. "Guys are wondering where they're going to play next year," BruneU said. "It's a little upsetting, because I don't think anybody is exempt from that possibility with our salary cap situation. "You've just got to try to look past it, but I know in the back of a lot of guy1' minds, they're wondering, 'How long am I going to be a Jaguar?' That's not easy." Try being a Bengal. Meaningless late-season games are nothing new for this franchise, which has lost more games than any other' in' the NFL since 1991. Cmcinnati has gone 10 seasons without a winning record. A loss Sunday would extend that streak of futility to 11 seasons. The players change, not the outlook or the lament: This team just doesn't seem driven to win. . "Lack of a sense of urgency." first-year quarterback Jon Kima summed up. "That's what I'm saying. When SUY'· decide that it is enough, that we've lost enough, then it will become important to them." MotiYlltion, not a ~d field, could determine this matchup of sti'U(lgling teams . When the Jaguars showed up at Paul Brown Sladium last Dec. 17, they found a surface that looked more like a turned-over cornfield. The Bengals had left the field uncovered, and snow and an ovmtight freeze left it a mess. It was 9 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill of minus-25, making it the coldest game in Jaguan history. That was bad. The field wos wo'n e. Rather than resod their first-year field, the Bengals kept playing on it until it was essentially a sandbox.

That~ why. until a few weeks ago, he wanted to be anywhere but Pittsburgh. Once seen as the game-breaking receiver the Steelen j!ad long lacked, Edwatds, a former Biletnikoff aw.ud winner and first-round draft piclc, saw his pliying time diminish greatly after he caught 61 passes as a rookie in 1999. The addition of first-rounder Plaxico Bumss a year ago gave more depth to what was a talent-thin group of receivers. Hines Ward's unexpected eme~nce as an excellent possession receiver and a skilled blocker also lessened Edwards' role.

"I must give good speeches on the road" But, of coune, none of those games was in Pittsburgh. The Steelers (9-2) ha...., won nine of 10, a~~: tied for the NFI:s best ~rd and can open a ~ game leod over idle Baltimore (8.4) in the AFC Centnl by winning. Despite aUowing 674 yards passing the last two weeks, the defense remains top-ranked in the league, which can\ be of much comfort to a Jets offense that has produced 'six touchdowns in five games - and only one il) lu last 17 possessions. Coach Bill Cowher isn't letting his Steelers relax, either, even though theit next victory seemingly would assure them of making the playoffi ,for the 4-1, Cowher is putting on a big push to secure the AFC's best record and home-field advantage throughout the conference playojE. "This is like a qualifYing race we're in;' Cowher said. "The best times get put in the middle lanes. I want to be in the middle lanes looking in, not on the outside looking in:' The Steders won't be able to race theit Bus, though, at least not this week as Jerome Bettis (hip, groin) is expecsed to miss only his fourth game in nine seasons. He wiD be replaced by the equaUy large Chris Fuamatu-M2'afala, who isn't as quick as Bettis, but is jwt as big at 255 pounds. Jets star Curtis Martin leads Bettis by 10 yards (1,082-1,072) for the NFL rushing lead. Martin was looking forW2rd to the game-within-a-game matchup with Bettis, but wiD haVe "I haven't been there since my rookie ~·so I am looking forward to it;' said Martin. who was held to 59 yards in a 20-3 Steelen victory last season. Edwards was criticized for being too conservative and too eager to get the baD into Martin's hands as the Jeu wasted a 13-0 lead in their 17-16 loss to New England last weelc, but says he's not about to change. Especially not ag;oinst a defense such as Pittsburgh's. "He1 going to touch the ball at least 30 times a game;' Edwards said. "If you have a good player, then )'OU gi"" him the baD:' The Jets will be without cornerback Aaron Glenn (sprained knee), a potentially big loss now that Pittsburgh's passing game, led by comeback quartelback KordeU Stewart, seems to be getting better every week. Wide receiver Hines Ward said the aU. "Now, I'm not trying to go anywhere;· Edwards said. "I've got two years left ·On my contract and I'm trying · to stay here. I'm not ttying to go anywhere ..People got the wrong idea when I said I was thinking about other teams. "I was thinking about other teams because I was seefog receivers that I went to the scouting combine with and they have 80 catches, and I don't think they're bet- ter than me." Edwards' attitude began to change as the Steelers said."Comingoutof coDege, you're avernging 10, 12, 13 touches a game. Then you get to the Steele" and you might touch it once or twice. It's totally different and you can't do it CM:rnight. Plax had to adopt to it. He was a superstar in college and he didn't get the baD his first year. "Hines adapted to it. His firsr year, I think Hines had 10, 11 catches. So everybody has to adapt to it." Edwards has gtaduaUy grown to like playing special · teatru, if only because they allow players with. ~~:ckless­ ness and speed to make plays. "To be on special teams, you've got to be kind of crazy because it's really dangerous;' he said. "I keep teUing people to go for the baD. That's why it felt good (to fon:e the fumble). That showed I'm playing for the team and a lot of people will be on my side for that:' Edwards understands Ward's season-long strong play and Burress' recent emergence make it difficult for him to lobby to be a starter. He doesn't doubt he can be a starting receiver - and a star- but now is not the time to disrupt a team that is tied for the best record (9-2) in the NFL. "Hines and Plaxico are playing weD, and I'm not askingfor any special thin~ for me;'Edwards said.''l'mjust doing what I'm supposed to do. ... Give me a (Super ka.

The game before that, he threw a key block on Jaguars safety Marlon McCree on a Ward touchdown catch. The block so excited coach Bill Cowher that he ran onto the field, hoisted Edw:uds and nearly carried him back to the bench. "I'm proud of him and happy for him because he's been worlring his tail off;' Cowher said of Edwards, whose kick-returning role may be expanded Sunday against the New York Jea.

I, 2001 Sunct.y, December 9, 1001 sPrep On Nov. 29, the Meigs County sporting community lost one of its ' finest members. John V. Hetzer, 82, Reedsville, died · following a brief illness. His wife, Phyllis. preceded him in death. John was a master of trapping, woods craft and herb lore. For many years he was a common sight at youth activities including the annual National Hunting and Fishing Day obserwnce at the Meig; County Ikes Club. Like many outdoorsrnen, he also served his country and God, and then worked to pass along his knowledge to younger generations. • I don't think I'll ever forget watching him patiently teaching kids about animals, how to set traps, and teaching them about medicinal herbs. Sometimes he'd snap his finger in a trap, to demonstrate that they didn't cause excruciating pain to the animal. John was a true naturalist. & far as I could tell, he knew just about everything there was to know about the woods. I also remember him saying that if more kids spent 'time in the woods. they wouldn't be spending time doing drugs and getting in trouble. A few years ago. I contributed to a newspaper story about John, a story with pictures that honored his contributions to Meig. and Atheru county youths. Well, the animal rights people went totally nuts over that one- a positive story about trapping is one thing the antis will not tolerate. For quite a while, he received threatening letters fiom so-ailed animal lovers; obviously, they didn't bother to get to know john before lashing out. If they had, they would have learned more about nature than they could ever imagine. Those who knew John knew him as a gentle soul, a patient man willing to pass along his knowledge, so it was with sadness that I read of his passing. The loss of john is a loss to all who Jove the outdoors; people with his knowledge of nature are becoming harder to find in this world. Jim Freeman IN THE OPEN ••• It just didn't seem like deer gun season to me. Maybe it was because of the weath~ er; I mean, deer season is supposed to be cold - or at least somewhat cool. The week after _Thanksgiving seemed more like March, for crying out loud. According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, a few more deer were killed this year compared to las~ year. Locally, that trend worked in rever.;e. In Meig; County, 2,729 deer were killed during the week of deer gun season last year; this year, 2,685 were whacked during the week ~ The local hunters I have spoken with indicate the weather definitely played a part in keeping the harvest a littie lower. The deer didn't move around a whole lot, probably because hunters weren't too inspired to move outdoors. Monday was fine, and that fact was proven out by plenty of hanging venison, but the weather quickly deteriorated for the rest of the week. Tuesday morning, hunters in my neighborhood were greeted by a predawq, thunderstorm that struck just about the time they were getting on stand. A few braved the weather, while othen went inside to wait it out. Unfortunately, "waiting it out" actually meant stoying inside until around friday afternoon, when the rain finally came to a stop. Even during the occasional times it wasn't raining, the weather was somewhat warm and a lirde sticky, at leasr by November standards. Buds and leaves were actually forming on our backyard Wac. One thing the weather didn't dampen, however, was the sense of fellowship and shared experiences enjoyed by the hunters. If you dicln't tag a deer during the deer gun season, don't despair, there's sriU plenty of good deer hunting lefi:, along with plenty of deer. Archery season continues, and muzzleloader season is coming up.lf you don't have a muzzleloader, don't panic, if you have been good (and I know you have been) .Santa may be kind and get you a new one. Even if the Christmas elves leave you little cash, there are plenty oflow-priced, enrry-level muzzleloaders out there, including some under $100. I examined one inline muzzleloader during the deer gun season that the hunter's father had purchased for around $90! The gun, a CVA Eclipse, certainly seemed functional and had what I considered to be several valuable features including a rubber recoil pad, shotgun primer ignition, and a safety that engaged automatically when the bolt was cocked. This guy spent a few extra dollars and installed a scope for good measure. This particular gun was used by a young hunter shooting a relatively light-recoiling I 00-grain load of noncorrosive Cleanshot pellets pushing a 180-grain saboted bullet. I say "relatively" light recoiling because that particular model is rated .for a 150-grain load pushing a much heavier bullet. He didn't get a deer this season, but the muzzleloader season beckons, and I'm certain his hardware - while not fancy - is up to the task. In any event, it was refreshing to see another youngster introduced to the great outdoors. Jim Frmnan is IM wildl!fo sp«Wiistfor IM Meigs Soil and l%ter Omsermriot1 Distria.

"Warm weather keeps bears active when they othe~­ wiSe would be hibernating." Warner says the current tern. perate spell almost certainly is . keeping bean up past their bed· times. . "It's great for the bears:· he says. "It gives them an opportu-· :nity to keep feeding and put on •extra fat before they begin hibernation." Even so, Warner says most hunters probably would prefer temperatures to be just a few degrees cooler. A little rain .wouldn't hurt, either. . "Most hunters don't like to run their bear dogs when temperatures are in the 60- to 70degree range;' he explains. "It's rough on the dogs, and it's ·rough on the people rrying to keep up with them. Most guys who hunt with dogs prefer for :it to be cool, and for the woods to be a little damp. Apparently bear scent doesn't linger as well ' over dry, crunchy leaves."

We did not shoot foul shots very well or rebound very well, but we won by 17 points, so we must have done something right.

The overall plan as 'l'toposed by the Community Health Co,re steering committee calls for establislling a health care center, then reopening Veterans Memorial Hospital as a critical access facility with an emergency room. A public meeting where the plan will be explained and citizens wiU have an opportunity to make comments and ask questions has bten set for Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Center. I hope you'll attend. This is an important issue not only to residents who need and want better local health care, but to the economic health of the COUI]ty. . After all, good medical and educational facilities, along with highways, are what companies look for when they consider locating in an area. For the past several months the steering committee chaired by Commissioner Mick Davenport has been trying to get a · "feel" for what Meigs councians want in the way of local health care, as well as exploring what outside financial assistance is available. In a random telephone survey conducted by a team of Ohio University students last summer, the message came through loud and clear: Residents want a local emergency room. But you can't just "open" an emergency room without having in place the support services (X-ray, lab, referral system etc.) of a community health center or hospital. That makes establishing a health care center a logical first step iD the process of rebuilding the local health care system. A critical access hospital with an emergency room would be a second phase.

In fact, some are reporting the best Christmas season ever. That's good news for Meigs County. Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe said last week what's good for the merchant is good for the community in general. "When a doHar is spent in the local community, it turns over seven times,"· Varnadoe said. "So if you buy some. thing at Hartwen House or Locker 219, tlat merchant, in turn, spends a doHar at another local business, until it has been spent at least seven times. "It's even more important to remember that every doHar spent outside of the local community is also spent seven-fold in that community, so the effect of spending a dollar outside of the community is clear: It's a loss of $7 instead of $1." Merchants in Pomeroy and Middleport have joined to sponsor promotions, including gift drawings, in order to entice residents to spend their Christmas shopping cash in their hometown. Purveyors of cl~thing, jewelry, high-end gifts and oth'er local lnerchants say trade in their ;tores has been above average, and others have cited this season, to date, as their best ever. "My customers are spirited and shopping early," said Susan Clark of Clark's Jewelry Store. "I think we're very blessed as independent merchants to be in communities where people are proud of their downtowns and support their local merchants." Tom Dooley, owner of Middleport Department Store, said he thinks merchants' "shop locally" campaigns have been effective, and a spirit of cooperation among merchants makes shoppers feel appreciated. "lt seems that when there is talk about a recession or a bad retail econ- Don't be fooled ... .winter is coming omy, people tend to do more shopping in the community;" Dooley said. "But I think maybe the years and years of constant drilling about the importance of spending money in the local community are beginning to pay off. "When small, independently owned businesses - and I emphasize independently owned businesses - work t:Qgether to promote their products, , there is a great impact.. , . • ''If a shopper comes into my store . looking for something I don't have, I send him down the street to Dan's. In years past, retailers would have never done anything to help their fellow merchants, but now, we do what we can to help our customers and to help each other." Varnadoe said shopping opportunities abound in MeiSS County. "It's not just Pomeroy and Middle~ port that offer a selection of quality gift ideas," Varnadoe said. "There are so many places close to home where one can shop. Rutland, Racine, Syracuse and all of the outlying communities throughout the county have great stores."
