Monday morning Meigs County Commissioners Tom Anderson, Mike Bartrum. and Mick Davenport, met \Vith County Juvenile Judge Scott PowelL Countv Court Judge Steve Story, and Meigs Economic Director Perry Varnadoe to discuss providing additional space to accommodate the two courts. The proposal is for buildmg a two-story structure between the Courthouse and the sheriff's office with space of 2,000 to 3,000 square feet on each floor. As a first step. at the suggestion of Varnadoe, it was decided to bring in an architect to review the needs. the suitability of the proposed site and what is buildable there, a preliminary design. and cost estimates of construction. After that. according to the Commissioners, funding options will be explored. Both of'the judges talked about the inadequate judicial facilities for their respective courts and the lack of space which requires off-site storag~ of records.

Senate skeptico,; appear to be in no hurTy. On Monday. the Obama administration pointed to environmental gains made during the fir. t week of the program. which gives rebates of as much as $4.500 to motorists who trade in gas guzzlers for more fuel-efficient vehicles. As many as The White House also highlighted recm ery news from Ford ~1otor Co .. which reported its first U.S. sales increase in nearly two years. "It's good for consumers. It's good for dealers and auto manufacturers," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "It's good for our energy s·ecurity and our environment." · Gibbs said if the Senate failed to provide the extra money. ''it's unlikely that we 'II make it to the weekend with a program that can continue." He estimated the additional $2 billion would allow consumers to take ad\'antage of the incentives through September. In .the Senate. Democrats remained concerned about lining up enough support for the plan, which the House approved last week before heading home for the August recess. ''I'd like to see the program exteneed," said Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate\ second-ranking Democrat. "I hope we can get it done." ~ While the House approved the funding by a nearly 3-to-1 margin last Friday. the clunkers program faces strong headwinds from conservatives who \ iew it as another taxpayer bailout for the auto industry and environmentalists who complain that it ought to wrii1g out more fuel efficiency.

Public passions are rising on health care overhaul BY KIMBERLY HEFLING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Booed, jeered and occasionally cheered in a raucous session with the public, a Democratic senator said Monday that other lawmakers can expect the same as they face voters on the divisive issue of overhauling health care. : "I wouldn't be surprised if that's the harbinger of things to come," Pennsylvania's Sen. Arlen Specter said a day after facing the rowdy crowd in Philadelphia. A House member who was surroundM by protesters shouting •·Just say no!" to Democrats· health plans in 'Texas over the weekend .accused Republicans of 'Organizing the opposition. • "This mob ... did not come just to be heard. but to 1leny others the right to be :heard.

"What could be more appropriate !or the 'party of no' than having its stalwarts tlruwuing out the voices of their neighbors by screaming 'Just sav no!'" With- Congress' monthlong recess looming, lawmakers are encountering growing public doubts about President Barack Obama's push to remake the system (or providing medical care, evident in polls that find confidence in the president's handling of the issue has fallen since January. The White House is determined to frame the debate on its terms this month and .counter fears about govern}llent-run insurance plans. a growing federal deficit, the impact on small businesses. abortion and end-of-life provisions - all issues that have dominated the health care debate. Political parties :and special interest groups will add to the cacophony by spending millions of dollars on competing ads. For lawmakers such as Specter and Doggett, the weekend events captured the public mood and the obstacles for the Obama administration. At Specter's forum Sunday in Philadelphia. some chanted Obama 's "Yes we can" campaign slogan, while others carried signs that said, ''Tell Washington no." Specter and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius faced an antagomsttc. standingroom-only crowd at the National Constitution Center. Specter said he thought political organizations orchestrated some of the commotion, but individuals with serious concerns - some in dire medical conditions - were there as well. ''I do think there's a big concern in America," Specter said in an interview Monday. "We heard it yesterday about the growing deficit and national debt.'' Specter is a recent Republkan-turned-Democrat who indicated earlier this year that he's open to a government health insurance plan that would compete with private insurers. an idea backed by Obama and many Democrats. Four of five congressional committees have approved versions of health care bills. but lawmakers fell short of Obama's deadline for the House and Senate to vote on bills before their August recess. That sets up a September showdown on the legislation and all sides have moved into high gear. The House has begun its recess. with the Senate to follow on Friday, a~ lawmakers continue to work on bipartisan legislation. Frustrated with the pace of those talks, Democratic leaders promised to push a sweeping health care bill through the Senate whether they get Republican support or not. Sen. Chuck Schumer. ON .Y.. the third-ranking Senate Democrat, raised the prospect of the leadership crafting a bill to Democratic specifications and using a rare legislative procedure to expedite it. "We will have contingencies in place." Schumer told reporters on a conference call. ''These plans will likel) be considered as a last resort, but they are on the table.'' He would not elaborate. After numerous delays. three Democrats and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee are facing a Sept. 15 deadline to wrap up secretive talks and come up with a plan . "If we cannot produce a bipartisan solution by then, you have to wonder if the Republicans will ever to be willing to agree to anything," Schumer said. However. one of the negotiators - Republican Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming - said M~nday he did not recognize such a deadline, and another, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. said: ··y don't like deadlines:· · After those objections were voiced, Finance Chairman Max Baucus. DMont .. said that senators were looking at a target date internally but "the main thing is we got to get it right." Baucus said a draft bill would be ready by the end of this week. Senators have plenty of action on the Senate floor this week. including a vote on Judge Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination. but health care is still a focus. Senate Democrats are lunching at the White House Tuesday and will hear fro·m White House adviser David Axelrod and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina at a closed-door session Thursday. Schumer said Democratic leaders continue to look at invoking a procedural maneuver that would allow them to pass the health bill with 51 votes instead of 60. That route is viewed as a last resort, in part because it would probably limit the breadth of policy initiatives. .On the same call. Sen. Robert Menendez. D-N.J., accused Republican leaders of trying to hinder bipartisan progress to deny Obama a political victory. Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. R-Ky., scoffed at the. complaint~. He noted that Schumer himself hasn ·t committed to supporting whatever the Finance Committee negotiators produce and that other Democrats have also ctiticized the plan that's taking shape. "Serious!). how can any Democrat who doestT't support what the bipartisan group of Finance members is working on complain about there not being a bipartisan approach?" Stewart asked. "Has Sen. Schumer or anyone in the Democrat leadership offered a bipartisan bill?" Schumer and many other liberals favor a strong new government-run insurance plan that would compete with private insurers. and all the plans approved so far have included that. But Republicans nearly uniformly oppose a new p4blic plan, saying it would drive private insurers out of business. so the Finance negotiators are looking at a system of nonprofit health coops instead. Schumer said negotiations on the Finance bill were continuing. ''No one's drawing an} lines in the sand right now, but I feel very strongly we need a public option and that fight is continuing." he said. sion's Web site. www.prc.gov Some of the offices could be closed while others could have some of their functions consolidated with other offices. t-or example. in some cases preparing mail for delivery may be shifted from Office A to nearby Office B. but the first office might still offer such services as selling stamps and mailing parcels and letters.

We have been married 17 years and have two boys, one 20 and the other 14. One night, my wife admitted that when she was in high school, she had sex with a teacher. This teacher married one of his students, although when he was later fired for reportedly taking advantage of his female students, she divorced him. Eight years have passed since then, and this man is now a teacher at the same school where my wife works. Two friends independently told me they saw my wife kissing this man and watched the two of them walk into the washroom together. When I confronted my wife, she confessed to the kissing but said they never had sex. I find that hard to believe. I no longer trust my wife and get very angry when I'm near her. I want a divorce, but I grew up without a father and would hate to leave my 14-yearold because I worry what will happen to him. My wife insists there is nothing going on, yet refuses to transfer to another school. She doesn't want a divorce. Please give me some advice. Saskatchewan, Canada Dear Canada: Get counseling immediately, and tell your wife if she wants to save the marriage, she must go with you. She is behaving foolishly and disrespectfully and either doesn't recognize how damaging that is or doesn't care. We are astonished this man was given another teaching position, and if their affair (or whatever it is) becomes known to the administration, they could both be fired. One of them has to leave the school or your marriage is over. Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I just bought our first home. It's the first time we will be living independently since college. We'd like to have a housewarming party, but I don't want our friends or family members to feel obligated to bring gifts when we just want to celebrate our new home with them. However, knowing our friends, some of them will insist on bringing gifts anyway. My boyfriend and I work at a well-known retail chain and get sizable discounts. Is there a polite way to suggest that if th~y ins~st on bringing somethmg, g1ft cards to our store would be New appreciated? Homeowners Dear New: Yes and no. You cannot put it in an invitation. If someone asks, you can reiterate that no gift is necessary or expected, but if they insist, you can recommend the gift cards. You also can inform or one or two close friends family members of 4 your preference, and they can pass the word.

O'Bleness protects patients against identity theft ATHENS - As a result of congressional legislation, {) 'Bleness .rviemorial Hospital has instituted new procedures to help prevent and detect identify theft, a -growing problem across the nation . Patients are now asked for additional verification to insure that valid information is captured; that a stolen identify is ·not used to obtain hospital and medical seres; and that patients' pera!, medical and financial ormation is protected. All patients registering at the hospital and its affiliates will be asked to present a driver's license or other photo identification; a current health insurance card; and .proof of address such as a utility bill if the photo ID does not show the patient's current address. These proce.dures will ensure that services are provided to the same persons whose personal t . and medical information has been provided to O'Bleness, and that charges for services are billed to the insurance carrier or responsible party for the same persons who actually received services. Requiring_ these additional identification items will guard against unauthorized access to medical records that could cause potential treatment errors, impersonation to obtain services without payment and unauthorized access to another's credit. In addition to new procedures to prevent and detect identify theft, O'Bleness has developed procedures to r-espond to occurrences. If identify theft is detected, every effort will be made to contact persons who have been impersonated. The legislation creating the need for new identity procedures will be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. /Jackson Health System in Miami, Florida.

In practically every speech he gives or town hall he hosts, there\ a slam at insurance profits and methods and no recognition of the role its lobby, America's Health Insurance Plans, has taken to advance reform. AHIP CEO Karen lgna~ni. a former AFL-CIO offictal and Democratic Senate staffer, has departed utterly from the role that the insumnce industry played in sinking health reform during the CJrnton administr..ttion. I AHIP's predecessor organization, the" Health Insurance Industry Association. mounted the famous "Harry and Louise" TV ads that undermined public support for Clintoncare. But in this round. within days of the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006, lgnagni convened a conference of 350 health experts to caJJ for universal coverage. Though critics, including Obama, accuse the insurance industry and the Republican Party of being welded together, Ignagni promoted expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program against fierce opposition from the Bush administration and Republicans in Congress. All during the 2008 presidential campaign. as Obama and other Democratic candidates pummeled the insur- il~st4rarzce as ene111y of riform Thic; week. at an AARP event, he said.

The fact is - unack edged by Obama AHIP's own proposal would eliminate pre-existing conditions, cherry-picking and denial of covemge when a person becomes unemployed. Obama, along with liberal groups also on the attack, ha\'e been advocating a public plan as part of health reform· "to keep the in:.urance companies hone:.t'' or drive them out of business. AHIP has been adamantly opposed to public plans modeled on Medicare, asserting their lower reimbursement rates and premiums will mean the end of private insurance. Up to now. Obama has been just as adamantly in favor of a public plan, although as the Senate Finance Committee produces a bill without one. he may be wavering. With liberab favoring a strong public plan and m. erates and conservati opposed. it's likely to be up to Obama to broker a deal. The question arises: Can somebody so personally hostile to insurance companies accept a solution that regulates the industry - as it now favors - or is he reallv out to destrov it'!

Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., for resisting that administration's penchant for degrading the Constitution. But on July 16, he proudly watched as the Senate passed his "hate crimes" bill (the Matthew Shepard Act) that is the biggest expansion of federal hate-crimes laws since 1968 - providing extra prison time to committers of violent acts perceived to be based on sexual orientation, gender identity or disability (adding to the previous classifications of race, color, religion or national origin). On the Senate f1oor, John McCain, R-Ariz., cut to the unconstitutionul core of this bill and all such "hate crime" legislation. Leahy's bill. as of this writing, the president is eager to sign. Said McCain: "Our legal system is based on identifying. capturing and punishing criminals, and not on using the power of government to try to divine biases." In opposing what James Madison condemned as "thought crimes,'' McCain added: ''Crimes motivated by hate deserve vigorous prosecution, but so do crimes moti· vated by absolute wanton disregard for life of any kind." No matter against whom. Leahy's bill, like the counterpart "hate crimes" measure of House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, D· Mich., that passed in the House this past April. violates the I4th Amendment's equal protection under the .taws for individual Americans by setting up a special collective class of victims whose assailants. when convicted, will be given extra punishment for Trying to avoid criticism he chain;.

LaHood today announced $393,234 in American Recove and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds for transit improvements in Marietta. "The Recovery Act was put in .place quickly to rescue the economy from the worst recession since the Great Depression and rebuild it for a stronger future," said Secretary LaHood. "Rebuilding the nation's infrastructure is a key part of that prescription for strength. It creates jobs today and builds a better, more sustainable economy moving forward." "By. quickly moving federal dollars to the cities and towns across the country. we are ensuring that our nation will have reliable and efficient transit systems for generations to come,'' he added. Washington County will use the funds to assist with a project. in collaboration with the City of Marietta, to convert the former Ohio National Guard Armory into an Intermodal Center that will provide citizens and tourists with access to all modes of transportation available in Marietta. Since President Obama signed ARRA into law on Feb. 17 grants totaling more than $4 billion have been made available for transit improvements throughout the nation. ''These funds are creating jobs now while investing in the future of our transit systems." said Administrator Peter Rogoff of the Federal Transit Administration (FfA).. "The public's demand for transit service continues to grow. and these dollars will help meet that need." The U.S. Department of Transpottation has made $48.1 billion available for highway, road, transit. bridge, and - · port construction and repairs nationwide.

County: Ohio water park needs more lifeguards SANDUSKY (AP) - A water park where a 3-yearold boy drowned Sunday should have more than the minimum number of lifeguards on duty in the future, county inspectors recommended Monday. Kalahari Resorts, which bills itself as the nation's largest water park, had said staffing levels exceeded compliance on Sunday when Hassan ltani of Dearborn, Mich., drowned in 3-foot-deep water. Kalahari spokeswoman Carrie Leum said 67 lifeguards were at the water park on Sunday, including five in the outdoor area. The private resort on Lake Erie said lifeguards had spotted the boy in the shallow end of the out- · door lagoon pool by the time his mother began searching. But inspectors found that at times on Monday, the pool area, which is part of the outdoor area, should have had another lifeguard in addition to the. minimum of two who were on duty. said Erie County Director of Environmental Health Bob England. A report from the inspectors said the park should have more than two lifeguards on duty to allow for sudden increases in the number of people in the water. Kalahari has agreed to staff the area with three lifeguards in the future. At Kalahari. at least three lifeguards are required in areas where there fire 51 to 150 bathers. The county was unsure how many bathers were in the pool area Sunday. According to the report. the resort said two lifeguard:- were on duty in the area Sunday. England said it's the park's responsibility to monitor the number of b<:thers. He said he has in the past seen Kalahari lifeguards take a quick head count and restrict bathers . from certain areas when numbers get too high. The county found 119 life- guard violations during prior inspections. But the state .has disciplined Kalahari at' least four times since the resort opened in 2005. At least two violations were for no guards or not enough guards on duty. Earlier this year. the park paid a $29.500 fine to settle a complaint from 2008 that included allegations of eight water rides operating without sufficient guards and two guards without valid cettification. The 173 .000-square-foot park in Sandusky features rides such as the Elephant Trunk and the Rippling Rhino.

Ohio elections chief, Dems offer elections changes Bv STEPHEN MAJORS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS Ohio voters would be able to vote early at more locations but for a shorter time - and would encounter simpler voter identification requirements under legislation House Democrats plan to introduce Tuesday. The wide-ranging elections bill is the culmination of months of discussions following the 2008 presidential election. which largely went smoothly but was still marked by partisan bickering. A measure with some of the same provisions introduced by Republican lawmakers at the end of 2008 was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Ted Strickl<)nd, who said it was pushed with haste. In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said early voting would begin 20 days before Election Day and end the weekend prior so local officials have time to prepare. Voters in each county would have the option of choosing from as many a~ four early high validation rate. voting sites instead of one.

Republicans criticized Brunner in the November election for not releasing the names of voters whose registration information did not match data from the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration. Brunner said most of the discrepancies were typographical errors, and that federal law didn't require state officials to use the information to question voters' ability to cast a ballot. The new legislation would bling Ohio law in line with federal law. Brunner said, and redesign the voter registration database so that there are fewer discrepancies. Maggie Ostrowski. spokeswoman for GOP Senate President Bill Harris, said Harris wants to see how the Democrats' bill differs from the GOP elections bill vetoed by Strickland. "As they bring the it; proposals to the table, he hopes the Democrats will be more open to working with Senate Republicans on our ideas to improve the overall operation of elections." Ostrowksi said.

(AP)- The Bengals sustained their first significant injury of training camp Monday when tight end Reggie Kelly ruptured his Achilles tendon. a notable setback to an offense that finished last in the NFL. Kelly hurt his left leg during a morning practice and will have surgery on Wednesday. He is expected to be sidelined for at least six months. It is the first maJor injury for Kelly, an 11-year veteran who has spent six seasons with Cincinnati. Kelly tinished third on the team in receiving last season wtth 31 catches for 207 yards. The injury opens the \\·ay for Ben Utecht to take a larger role. Utecht was hurt fo~ much.of last sea-;on. when he caught only 16 passes. Kelly ts ~onstdered the better run blocker. and the Bengals are committed to rest?ri~g th~ir rl!nning att~ck this season.

Reds Burress from Page Bl ered questions. it \Vas clear to us that they understood that Mr. Pierce acted as any citizen under extraordinary circumstances would have . acted." Burress was at the Latin Quaxter nightclub Nov. 29 when a gun tucked into his waistband slipped down his leg and fired. shooting him in the right thigh. Prosecutors said Monday that after taking Burress to the hospital, Pierce drove the gun to his own home in New Jersey not to Burress' home, as was orig•inally reported. The) said he later arranged for it to be taken to Burress' home. Assistant District Attorney John Wolfstacttcr said the bullet that hit Burress narrowly missed a nightclub security guard who was standing inches away. The bullet lodged in the floor and was recovered by a bartender. Morgcnthau said. "He wanted it as a souvenir but we told hi111. he had to turn it over." he said. The gun was not licensed in New York or in New Jersey, where Burres~ lived, prosecutors said. ButTe::.s' license to cany a concealed weapon in the state of Florida had expired m May 2008. The charges Burress was indicted on carry a mandatory mimmum sentence of 3 1/2 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty to weapons charges earlier this year and is free on $100,000 bail. The grand jury indictment comes after plea bargain negotiations broke down. apparently because Morgenthau was insisting that Burress serve at least two years in prison under any plea agreement. Assistant District Attorney Mark Dwyer said it is standard policy to request a two-year sentence as part of a plea bargain on such serious charges. Burress. who caught the winnmg touchdown for the Giants over the i\ew England Patriots in the final minute of the 2008 Super Bowl, also could face disciplinary action by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell's office announced in June that the league already had started its <!xamination of the shooting. and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday's indictment "will be considered as part of that review." The Giants released Burress in April and he has yet to sign with another team. www .m ydailysentinel.com Tuesday,August4, 2009 Nevada Supreme Court considers releasing Simpson LAS VEGAS (AP) - A trio of l'\cvada Supreme Court justices focused ;\londay on whether O.J. Simp:mn and a former golfing huddy recch ed a fair trial in a gunpoint hotel room heist and whcthcr the case was so unique that the l wo mcn should he freed from prison while their appeals arc wnsidcn.:d. "This is post-conviction. That's what coJH.:crns me." Justice Michael Cherry declared dur ng rare oral arguments by lawyers about \Vhether thc former football star and co-defendant Clarence "C ..1 :· Stewart :-.hould be allowed to post bond while their appeals arc pending. Cherry, the chainnan of the three-judge panel con sidering the bond re4uest. d1dn't sa) how long he and justices Mark Gibbons and Nanc) Saitta might take to decide. It appeared unlikely a ruling would come before an Aug. 12 deadline for Clark Count) District Attorney David Roger to file a written answer to Simpson's appeal. Roger, whl) prosecuted Simpson and Stewart. argued Monday the men got a fair trial, a Nevada jury had spoken. and the pair should continue to serve their sentences for kidnappmg and armed robbery. lt is unusual for the Nevada Supreme Court, the • state's only appeals court, to I hear oral arguments about bond and it would be even more' unusual for Simpson or Stewart to be released. 1The last such high-profile appellant to get such a chance in ~evada skipped town after po~ting $100.000 in 1978. The justices are weighing whether Simpson or Stewart might flee, whether they pose a danger to the community, and if they have a good chance of winning their Pocono · from Page Bl fifth. "Things ha\en't been going our way all year long so it feels good to have something swmg our way," Bow)er said. Three-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson battled an unruly car all day, falling three laps down and needing a carburetor change with 60 laps left before rebounding \Vith a solid 13th place finish. Johnson was scheduled to visit with Pre:-.ident Barack Obama on Monday in honor of his 200H Sprint Cup title. Tony Stewart. who won Pocono in June. finished lOth and increased his points lead to 197 over appeals. The question of their possible success was the key point of the hearing, and inquiries from the justices shed light on the issue-. they're considering. The justices asked each of the defense attorneys what was different about this case to warrant bail on convictions that carried mandatory prison time with no optioi1 of probation. . ''I've been waiting for you to use the word severance!'' Cheny declared, interrupting Stewart lawyer Brent Bryson when he said his client ··should have never been tried with Mr. Simpson." Bryson a-.ked the court to consider the many times before and during trial when he asked Clark Countv District Court Judge Jackie Glass to separate :<;tewart's trial from Simpson ·s. response was. ·'Her 'Severance is dead,'" Bryson said. "I .was waiting for you to come up to the Supreme Court with that," said Cherry, who wrote a benchmark high court opinion several years ago on the issue. Bryson. his voice rising, recalled Glass' responses as, "'Denied." 'Sit down." 'We're going forward,"' and "'You're not going to get a separate trial."'' He told the court he believed he couldn't divert his efforts to defend Stewart during trial to continue to fight Glass· rulings. ~ ''In the history of jurisprudence who else could we possibly imagine would be more prejudicial?" Bryson asked rhetorically about his client being tried with Simpson. "Charlie Manson. maybe? Dahmer? Hitler? Satan? Who else sitting next to someone they have on trial? It was extremely prejudicial.'' Johnson. Montoya rebounded nicely after the crushing disappointment of losing a victory last week at Indianapolis because of a pit road speeding penalty. Montoya insisted when he got to Pocono that he had moved on and kept his e~ e solely on the points standings. He went from lOth to eighth in the '>landings and r<; in !!OOd shape to make the Chase for the first time. Montoya used the same No. 42 C'Ievrolet as last week. "We brought it because it just ran good last week," he said '"We thought, just bring it back.'' Bowyer. who wasn't won in 47 races. moved up to 15th in the Chase standings. There are five races left before the 12-driver field is set for the 10-race sprint for AP photo This is a Dec. 5, 2008, file photo showing O.J. Simpson in court during his sentencing hearing at the Clark County Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas. Simpson. 62. was acquitted on murder charges in the 1994 slaying of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. After the sensational criminal trial he was found liable for the deaths in civil COUit. Simpson is serving nine to 33 years for kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon in the September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Stewatt. 55. is serving 7 1/2 to 27 years. Neither '"'as in the courtroom in Las Vegas on Monday while their attorneys argued neither had received a fair trial. Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter insisted that Simpson would abide by any conditions· the· comt set for his release. and that the NFL hall-of-farner. actor and celebrity criminal defendant couldn't possibly disappear. Galanter also spoke of ~imps?n 's . u~iqueness • · Amencan JUnsprudence. "He is probably the one individual on the planet who's got no place to go and no place to hide,'' Galanter said. Galanter. who told the court he had been making arrangements for Simpson tO live in Nevada and seek state residencv. said afterward that he \vas optimistic the court would free Simpson pending his appeal. "The trial. in all due respect to Judge Glass. was eJTOneous and just a sham;· Galanter said. "If ever there's someone who deserves release it's O .J . Simpson and C.J. Stewart." the title . Hamlin had a rare poor outing in the June race at Pocono because of a fuel pump problem that sent him to the garage after only two laps. He returned and finished 38th, but has been one of the hottest drivers over the last seven races. Hamlin recorded four top five~ over that span and did all he could to mo,·e up the standings - except \Vin. ··1 feel like \\.e're the best car other than the Hendrick cars," Hamlin said. The Hendrick car~ were mostly out of the picture over the final laps, leaving a pack of drivers who haven't contended for many checkered flags this year going for the w':in. "' ~ Montoya. Bowyer and Hornish arc all winless. and Kahne has one victory. Hamlin led 91 laps. but had fallen to II th. He bumped David Reutimann \\ ith 25 laps left to bring out a caution.

Hamlin couldn't keep his emotions in check. "Every lap. Every single lap it comes out," Hamlin said. "When I I!Ot behind. it really started getting frustrating from my standpoint. I thought I was going to let it slip away \\ ith 50 to go." 1\.Jot this time. Not when he was driving for his family. "I felt like this weekend I \vas going to haw help in a lot of different places," Hamlin :-aid. .

'fhey get to hang out on the field of the Alamodome for about an hour. dwarfed by all the huge guys and loving every second. "It's a non-paying position." Williams says. smiling. "but you've got first dibs on getting an autograph.'' Although Williams did the same thing in Detroit, continuing the tradition here shows how comfortable he is in his new role as the 1'-:o. 1 receiver. It's a good sign for the Cowboys considering how much they are relying on him now that T.O. is gone. Team owner Jerry Jones pointed out again at the start of camp that ' 1thc decision to move on without Terrell was almost totally made" to get more out of Williams. There were other reasons T.O. had to go, but Jones is right. The Cowboys sent first-. third- and sixth-round picks to Detroit for Williams last October. then gave him a $45 million. fi\c-year contract extension. In return. he proYided a measly 19 catches for 198 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Owens had 213 yards in a single game last season. "Everybody thinks I (stink)." Williams said. "I just ha,·c something to prove. It's not to pro\C that I don't (stink). It's just to be a consistent ballplayer." At 6-foot-3. 209 pounds. Williams is a little taller and a little thinner than Owens. He's eight years younger, too. Williams ma~ not be as fast, but the difference is not dramatic. . "I don't sec a drop-off," tight end Jason Witten said. The difference is results. Williams' best vear (82 catchc!'., 1.310 yards) would be about fifth-best for Owens. The starkest stat is touchdowns: Williams has 30 over his five-vear career; Owens scored 38 O\Cr three years in Dallas. Then again, remember that few receivers in NPL history can match 0\•.:ens · stats. Williams also has been hurt by playing on Detroit teams w1th few other offensive weapons . "Roy is one of those players that feeds off momentum." said Jon Kitna, Williams' quarterback in his breakout season with the Lions and now his teammate again in Dallas. "When he geb a couple of catches and gets into the game early. he can become a real dangerous receiver. one that I've seen intimidate defenses. That's going to be a key. Hov,· can we get him comfortable? What are the routes he likes. that he's go in~ to win I 00 percent of the time?" The Cov. boys never figured those questions out last year. Tony Romo was hurt when Williams arrived, then Williams was hurting once Romo was healthy. And. of course, there was T.O .'s looming presence and whatever behind-the-scenes trouble that wa~ causin{!. Whatever the rea\on. Romo hardly ever looked Williams· wav. In fact, his lone TD catch was thrown by Brad Johnson. It doesn't matter whether the blame goes to Romo. Williams or offensne coordinator Jason Garrett. All three know thev need to make this relatJOllship work. Romo and Williams started throwing together four weeks before the team's summer practices. A week into trainmg camp, they arc still figuring each other out. Another lesson came Monday when Romo threw a slant to Williams in the end zone, the ball arriving ' AP photo Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams (4) and defender Terence Newman (41) compete for a pass during the team's NFL football training camp in San Antonio on Sunday. at the same 1\me as cornerback Orlando s~.·andrick. A collision followed, with Williams' helmet flying off, although he insists that was only becau~c he docsn 't ever snap his chin strap for practice. "(Romo) coaches me and I coach him and we're get· ting a good feel for each other." Williams ~aid. '·I don't think we can go out and play a game right now, but J think that in two weeks, three weeks. we'll be ready to go." One comforting thing for the Cowboy!'. is that Williams understands. accepts anti e'en embraces his challenge. Besides tl1e kid-from-thecrowd trick, he's introduced a $10 fi nc for a II passes dropped by rcceiYers: they are tallied up in rilm ses- sions. with the money going toward a meal at the end of camp.

SAN DII!GO (AP) They might as well call it the Kellen Winslow Classic. Twenty-two year~ after catching hi:- last pass for the Chargers, Hall of Farner Kellen Winslow ts bringing the Central State Marauders of Wilberforce. Ohio, to face thc Stillman College Tigers of Tuscaloosa, Ala .. in the San Diego Football Cla~sic on Sept. 19. Winslow, enterii1g his sec! ond year as athletic director at Central State, is one of the big reason!'. the historically black schools are coming all the way to San Diego. Winslow <;aid he got a call a. wh1le back that the Tiger~ were looking for an opponent. "It just happened to be 111 San Diego, and of course the rc~t came with the fact that, oh, I used to play in San Diego,'' sa1d Wm:-low. a star tight end for the Chargers from 1979-87. "That wa!'. one of the thing::. that \Ve really felt good about. hecausc obviously having a Hall of Fame, marquee name such as Kellen here brings credibility," promoter Dwayne McAfee said. "We thought that \Vas important.'' McAfee said he wouldn't . be surprised if Central State makec; a return trip or t\('o. That would be fine with Winslo\\. the Chargers' fir~t­ round draft pick in 1979 and the father of Tampa Bay tight end Kellen Wmslow. ''If they want to sign a five-year contract With Central State to come back and play, I'd be more than happy to do that:· he said. "I'm the guy they can talk to." Thc game will be played at Devore Stadium at Southwestern College in suburban Chula Vista. A previous series of games betwt.!en historically black colleges. called the Gold Coa!'.t Clas!'.ic, was played at Qualcomm Stadtum from 1997-2004. Those games drew small crowds to the big stadium where Winslow played as a pro. t-.1cAfce s~id playing at Devore Stad1um. which has a capacity of about 14,0 makes more sense. .. We \\anted an intim stadium," he said. "T think that will allow us an opportunity to be successful. We don't have to measure our success by numbers. We don't have that overhead, which really would be overwhelming."' • Winslow and the two coaches involved. Stillman's L.C. Cole and Central State ·s E.J. Junior, have an interesting history. Winslov. was only too happy to recall that hi-.; Mis~ouri Tigers upset Cole's 1'-:ebraska Cornhuskers in 1978. "They ended up playing Oklahoma again in the Orange Bowl, vs. playing Penn State for the national championship. so they've never forgiven us for that," Winslow said. When it was his turn at the podium during a news co. ference. Winslow looked Cole. who played defensive end, and said: ''L.C., good to see you. Can 1 get my jersey back? They had tear-away jerseys back in that day. .\ly jersey was all tom up." Said Cole: ''I think he beat Ul> one time and it co~t us the national championship."' Junior was a linebacker on the Alabama team that beat Penn State in the Sugar Bowl to win the 11ational championship that season. Earlier that season, Alabama beat Nebraska and Missouri. and Junior had big plays in both games. "There's a lot of history tied up in the participants of this game," Junior said. ''It's amazing how our paths crossed." Dan Rooney missing first Steelers camp since late 1930s LATROBE. Pa. (AP) There hasn't been a Steelers training camp like thi~ since the year Max Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis, "Gone with the Wind" was published and Jesse Owens won four Olympic gold medals in Adolf Hitler-controlled Germany. There's no Dan Rooney around The Steelers players reside in Rooney Hall during their three weeks at Saint Vincent College. an hour's drrve cast of Pittsburgh. A Rooney. remams in charge of the Steelers, the only six-time Super Bowl winner. Only it's not Dan Rooney. who is now the lJ.S. ambassador to Ireland, a full-time position that allows him little time for football and none for training camp. Time enough, however. to place a weekend phone call to find out how his football team is doing. ''Burt (Lauten, a team publicist) told me he called and asked how things arc going," defensive end Brett Keisel said Monday. "It's different not having him here. We're missing him." · Dan Rooney, one of the most successful and influential team owners in American pro sports history. has been part of a football family almost since the day he was born in 1932. His father, Art, founded the Steclers a few months later and began taking the olde~t of his five sons to camp when Dan was 5. Some of Dan Rooney's earliest memories arc of catching gingerly thrown passes from one of his father's employees. A Steclcrs training camp without Dan Rooney. who first began negotiating player contracts for his father while attending Duque~ne Unirersity. seemed unimagtnablc - at least until this summer, Rooney had attended every camp for n remarkable 71 consecuth e years starting in 1937. Several players said it hit them that the Pro Football Hall of Fame owner wouldn't be around when they sat down for their annual startof-camp team meeting on Friday and Dan Rooney didn't address them. Instead. Art Rooney II. Dan's son and the team president for six years, gave the talk. "Mr. Rooney's such a big personality who's really encouraging to e\erybody." safety Troy Polamalu said. "For him to not give us a speech, that was different." It was the first time since the Steelers were founded dunng a time when pro football badh· trailed college football- in popularity that their players haven't begun a season being greeted by either Art Rooney. who died in 1988. or his son. Dan Roorrey calls himself the NFL's last throwback, the only remaining link to the days when NFL ownership was essentially a momand-pop business and even a few hundred tickets sold might mean a profitable weekend. Now that Dan Rooney is effectively retired and his title has been changed to chairman emeritus, ~even those days are gone - although he hopes to attend the Titans-Steelers opener on Sept. 10. "I'm missing him, but I'm sure he·::. missing us a little more." coach Mike Tomlin said. Jeff Reed knew one or two bad games might end his Steelers kicking ~areer after he \Vas signed midv. ay through the 2002 season. He was understandably wonied even during practice. but he said Dan Rooney helped him get over his nervousness. ·'Nobody else hears it because they're practicing," Reed said. "The stuff he said to me. I don't remember his exact line or anYthing. but his pre::.encc made me feel like, 'Man, this is the owner saying this stuff to me.' I'm sure every- body jokes around to an extent. but he'<; really personable. I usee\ to get nervous havmg the head'> of the organizatiOn around, but once you real11c hm\ much of ct people person they are, you come hack down to carth."' Numerous generations of Stcckrs players have felt the same way. Dan Rooney wa:- then! as a ball ooy in the 1940s, v. hen his friendly training camp throwing sessions helped develop him into a second-team Catholic allcity quarterb.tck (Johnny Unitas, coincidental!). \\as the first teamer).

The I 990s brought Bill Cowher and another er« of winning that has carried into the 2000s, which has brought two mor~ Lombardi trophies to go v. ith .the four won in the '70s.
