I CHARLESTON. W.Va. (AP) - A season opener in which Independence coach Scotty Cuthbert was simply trying to get some younger pfayers valuable game experience ended up being one of the greatest comebacks in his 31 years as a coach. With little to play for as the clock ticked down the final minutes of the fourth quarter of what looked like a resounding defeat, Independence scored 22 points in about 2 minutes to pull out a 28-27 win over Midland Trail. "It was amazing. It was one of the weirdest games I've been in," Cuthbert said Monday. "What did Yogi (Berra) sa7, 'it ain't over 'til it's over." What made it more daz, zling was how Independence pulled it off with mostly mexperienced players. Both coaches had already . pulled their starters and Cuthbert was still looking for a takecharge quarterback after the departure of his son, Mark, who liad started 38 straight games. "We were basically trying to feel our way through and some of the young kids stepped up," Scotty Cuthbert said. ~ With 2: 17 left, Corey Cheek scored on a 2-yard run and Independence tacked on what seemed like a meaningless two-point conversion to make it 27-14. "It sti ll looked a little dismal at that time," Cuthbert said. Brothers Ricky and Ben Cadle then combined for a 37 -yard TO pass with 49 seconds left to cut the defiCit to 27-20. Cheek, a sophomore who stood on the sidelines the entire first half, then recovered an onside kick at the Midland Trail 40. Richard Hampton eventually threw a 10-yard pass to Jonathan Hunt in the left comer of the end zone with .nine seconds remaining. Independence lined up to kick the extra point, but freshman Adam Whitt took the ball toward the outside and scored the decisive points. "I'd rather get beat trying to win it," Cuthbert said. And in doing so, even the victors can learn lessons. "We always tell them try to play 48 minutes," Cuthbert said. "We want to have 100 percent out of each .kid." TOP-RANKED SCARE Parkersburg's ~:omeback wasn't as stunning, but the top-ranked team in Class AAA was facing a 10-point de licit with II minutes left at home after Cabell Midland scored 22 unanswered points. It took Matt Lindamood' s monster effort to turn things around. He scored twice in the fourth quarter with runs of 28 and I yards, the latter with I :35 remaining, and Parkersburg prevailed 47-41. Lindamood finished with 287 rushing yards and five TDs to earn honors as The Associated Press state high school player of the week. His other scoring runs were 63, 14 and 61 yards. Lindamood shares the statewide honors with J\eyser's Matt Wilmer and Nitro's Michael Scott. Wilmer ran- for 335 yards, had six touchdowns rushing and one receiving in a 49-10 win over Musselman. Scott completed 16-of-25 passes for 426 yards and three TDs in ·a 48-33 comeback win over Poca.

PageA2 ,, Wednesdayj August 29, 2007 White House eyes 5 potential nominees to replace Gonzales as attorney general BY LARA JAKES JORDAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WR1TER .. WASHINGTON Moving quickly to replace Attorney General A lberto Gonzales, White House officials are considering five names that "have kind of emerged" as possible candidates to take over the beleaguered Justice Department, according to a senior Bush administration official. The oft\cial who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to speak more openly about the process declined to identify the five contenders who were being looked at "pretty seriously;'' White House officials have consulted more than 20 members of Congress Democrats and Republicans alike - about possible successors to Gonzales,' who announced Monday that is leaving office on Sept. 17. Interviews with current and · former Just ice Department officials, congressional aides, attorneys and other legal experts yielded as many as 24 names of possible, i~ highly speculative candidates for the attorney general's job. When contacted Tuesday, several contenders asked to remain anonymous and flatly said they did not want the job. Others declined to comment. · "I love the Department of Justice - it's the most wonderful professional experience I'-ve had in my life," said Ted Olson, a former solicitor general for the Bush administration who declined to say whether he has discussed the attorney general's job with the White House or whether he would accept the post if offered. Similarly, · Geqrge Terwilliger, a ·deputy attorney general under former President George H.W. Bush who has emerged as an often-men- tioned contender, declined to comment. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who formerly chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, once said he would take the job if offered. When asked if he would take the job of running the Justice Department, former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson sen~ word through a spokeswoman that "he's very happy in this role" as general counsel at PepsiCo. . Solicitor General Paul Clement could remain acting attorney general for an indefinite time aftor Gonzales leaves. White House officials said Tuesday it was unlikely that a successor would be named before Bush returns Sept. 9 from a state visit to Australia and meetings with world leaders at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. He leaves Washington next Monday. Sen. John . Cornyn, RTexas, predicted it will be tough for the White House to find Gonzales' successor. "I think it's going to be very challenging to find somebody who would be willing to accept that nomination," Cornyn said. "It 's going to be a very tough' partisan environment. Anybody in their right mind would have to be extremely thoughtful about whether they want to subject" themselves to the kind of environment Gonzales endured. Gonzales announced his resignation Monday after seven months of criticism that began will) a congressional investigation into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys. The inquiry led to Republicans and Democrats alike questioning Gonzales' honesty on a range of topics - including the administration's domestic terrorism spying program. Average SAT scores dip again after a record number of students take the college entrance e:xam Bv JUSTIN POPE AP EDUCATION WR ITER ' 'I. .combined math and reading SAT scores for the high school class of 2007 were the lowest in eight years a trend the College Board attributed largely to the good news that a more diverse pool of students is taking the exam. Last spring's seniors scored on average 502 out of a possible 800 points on the ·critical reading section of the country 's most popular college entrance exam, dqwn from 503 for the class of 2006. Math scores fell three points from 518 to 515. Scores also fell three points on the writing section, which is sti ll in an experimental stage, from 497 to 494. Last year, after the College Board lengthened and redesigned the exam, scores took an unusually steep stumblt; . of seven points. This year 's further drop could renew questions about whether scores on the new exam are compatible with the old one, as the College Board assured educators would be the case. Scores on the rival ACT exam, reported earlier this month, rose this year. But the College Board, the nonprofit membership group that owns the exam, insisted Tuesday that the declines were within normal historical fluctuations and not significant. Officials offered several explanations, but returnea repeatedly to the broadening pool of SAT test-takers and subtl y characterizi ng their exam as the more populist of the two tests. The overall number taking the SAT rose only slightly from last year, to about 1.5 million . But the College Board was eager to emphasize the exam 's growth beyond its traditional base of students who have been groomed their whole lives to prepare for college. Twentyfour percent of test-takers had a first language other than English, up · from 17 percent a decade ago. Thirty-five percent -of this year's SAT-takers would be the first in their families to attend colle~e. Some ctties such as Pittsburgh are encouraging more students who aren't on the traditional college ladder to take the exam. Maine now requires all students to take the SAT. The percentage of test-takers there rose from 73 percent to I00 percent, but that caused math aild reading scores to fall a combined 71 points, by far the largest decline of any state. "They have taken a very progressive stand in trying to get more and more students to go to college," College Board President Gaston Caperton said of Maine at a news conference Tuesday in Washington. "The larger the population you get to take an examination, it obviously knocks down the scores." The number of black students taking the SAT rose 6 percent, and the number of test-takers calling themselves "Other Hispanic, Latino or Latin American" (a group that does not include Puerto Ricans or Mexican Americans) rose 27 percent. The College Board noted that by some measures, the gap between some test-takers .and the overall cohort has narrowed. But it remains large , and there were only mixed improvements among different racial groups,. Combined readin g and math scores for blacks slipped one point to 862, scores in the . cate~ory "Mexican or Mex1can American:· rose two points to 92 1 and scores for Asians rose four points to I092. .

Bv LT. DICK GRAU GALUPOUS POST, OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATR9L The most dangerous drivers are considered "habitual" offenders, who have received five or more impaired driving convictions in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 33,000 habitual offenders in Ohio. Previou s research conducted by Harvard University . economists found that every weekday night from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., one in seven motori sts had been drinking, with the peak hours for drinking and driving occurring between I:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., when the rate changes to one in four drivers. · It has been well documented that Labor Day is traditionally a dangerou s holiday period on Ohio roads, particularly for impaired driving crashes. Last Labor Day holiday in Ohio was no different seven of the 14 people killed were involved in alcohol-related crashes. For a second consecutive year, the general public and media can go to the Highway Patrol's Web site over the Lahor Day weekend fqr a daily tally of impaired driver arrests made by state troopers, as well as alcohol- \nvolved crashes. Our Web site is www.statepatrol .ohio.gov I want to encourage the public to continue using 1877-7-PATROL to report dangerous dri vers or stranded motori sts, or 1-800GRAB DUI to report impaired drivers. So in closing, I want to go back to the question I asked at the beginning of this column - why are state troopers goi ng to be working extra hard during the upcoming Labor Day weekend to arrest impaired drivers? Because over two million miles are driven by impaired motorists every day. and their poor choices severely threaten the wellbeing of every citizen in this state. Because fatalities caused by impaired drivers are indeed an Ohio and national tragedy - and that makes them a potential tragedy for each of us. ' And finally, because we want those who choose to drive impaired, and put innocent people in danger this weekend, to know Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, and literally thousands of other Ohio law enforcement officers along with our safety partners, are committed to making this a safe hoiiday for Ohio families, and those who are safely using our public roadways.

PageA2 ,, Wednesdayj August 29, 2007 White House eyes 5 potential nominees to replace Gonzales as attorney general BY LARA JAKES JORDAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WR1TER .. WASHINGTON Moving quickly to replace Attorney General A lberto Gonzales, White House officials are considering five names that "have kind of emerged" as possible candidates to take over the beleaguered Justice Department, according to a senior Bush administration official. The oft\cial who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to speak more openly about the process declined to identify the five contenders who were being looked at "pretty seriously;'' White House officials have consulted more than 20 members of Congress Democrats and Republicans alike - about possible successors to Gonzales,' who announced Monday that is leaving office on Sept. 17. Interviews with current and · former Just ice Department officials, congressional aides, attorneys and other legal experts yielded as many as 24 names of possible, i~ highly speculative candidates for the attorney general's job. When contacted Tuesday, several contenders asked to remain anonymous and flatly said they did not want the job. Others declined to comment. · "I love the Department of Justice - it's the most wonderful professional experience I'-ve had in my life," said Ted Olson, a former solicitor general for the Bush administration who declined to say whether he has discussed the attorney general's job with the White House or whether he would accept the post if offered. Similarly, · Geqrge Terwilliger, a ·deputy attorney general under former President George H.W. Bush who has emerged as an often-men- tioned contender, declined to comment. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who formerly chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, once said he would take the job if offered. When asked if he would take the job of running the Justice Department, former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson sen~ word through a spokeswoman that "he's very happy in this role" as general counsel at PepsiCo. . Solicitor General Paul Clement could remain acting attorney general for an indefinite time aftor Gonzales leaves. White House officials said Tuesday it was unlikely that a successor would be named before Bush returns Sept. 9 from a state visit to Australia and meetings with world leaders at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. He leaves Washington next Monday. Sen. John . Cornyn, RTexas, predicted it will be tough for the White House to find Gonzales' successor. "I think it's going to be very challenging to find somebody who would be willing to accept that nomination," Cornyn said. "It 's going to be a very tough' partisan environment. Anybody in their right mind would have to be extremely thoughtful about whether they want to subject" themselves to the kind of environment Gonzales endured. Gonzales announced his resignation Monday after seven months of criticism that began will) a congressional investigation into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys. The inquiry led to Republicans and Democrats alike questioning Gonzales' honesty on a range of topics - including the administration's domestic terrorism spying program. Average SAT scores dip again after a record number of students take the college entrance e:xam Bv JUSTIN POPE AP EDUCATION WR ITER ' 'I. .combined math and reading SAT scores for the high school class of 2007 were the lowest in eight years a trend the College Board attributed largely to the good news that a more diverse pool of students is taking the exam. Last spring's seniors scored on average 502 out of a possible 800 points on the ·critical reading section of the country 's most popular college entrance exam, dqwn from 503 for the class of 2006. Math scores fell three points from 518 to 515. Scores also fell three points on the writing section, which is sti ll in an experimental stage, from 497 to 494. Last year, after the College Board lengthened and redesigned the exam, scores took an unusually steep stumblt; . of seven points. This year 's further drop could renew questions about whether scores on the new exam are compatible with the old one, as the College Board assured educators would be the case. Scores on the rival ACT exam, reported earlier this month, rose this year. But the College Board, the nonprofit membership group that owns the exam, insisted Tuesday that the declines were within normal historical fluctuations and not significant. Officials offered several explanations, but returnea repeatedly to the broadening pool of SAT test-takers and subtl y characterizi ng their exam as the more populist of the two tests. The overall number taking the SAT rose only slightly from last year, to about 1.5 million . But the College Board was eager to emphasize the exam 's growth beyond its traditional base of students who have been groomed their whole lives to prepare for college. Twentyfour percent of test-takers had a first language other than English, up · from 17 percent a decade ago. Thirty-five percent -of this year's SAT-takers would be the first in their families to attend colle~e. Some ctties such as Pittsburgh are encouraging more students who aren't on the traditional college ladder to take the exam. Maine now requires all students to take the SAT. The percentage of test-takers there rose from 73 percent to I00 percent, but that caused math aild reading scores to fall a combined 71 points, by far the largest decline of any state. "They have taken a very progressive stand in trying to get more and more students to go to college," College Board President Gaston Caperton said of Maine at a news conference Tuesday in Washington. "The larger the population you get to take an examination, it obviously knocks down the scores." The number of black students taking the SAT rose 6 percent, and the number of test-takers calling themselves "Other Hispanic, Latino or Latin American" (a group that does not include Puerto Ricans or Mexican Americans) rose 27 percent. The College Board noted that by some measures, the gap between some test-takers .and the overall cohort has narrowed. But it remains large , and there were only mixed improvements among different racial groups,. Combined readin g and math scores for blacks slipped one point to 862, scores in the . cate~ory "Mexican or Mex1can American:· rose two points to 92 1 and scores for Asians rose four points to I092. .

Bv LT. DICK GRAU GALUPOUS POST, OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATR9L The most dangerous drivers are considered "habitual" offenders, who have received five or more impaired driving convictions in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 33,000 habitual offenders in Ohio. Previou s research conducted by Harvard University . economists found that every weekday night from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., one in seven motori sts had been drinking, with the peak hours for drinking and driving occurring between I:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., when the rate changes to one in four drivers. · It has been well documented that Labor Day is traditionally a dangerou s holiday period on Ohio roads, particularly for impaired driving crashes. Last Labor Day holiday in Ohio was no different seven of the 14 people killed were involved in alcohol-related crashes. For a second consecutive year, the general public and media can go to the Highway Patrol's Web site over the Lahor Day weekend fqr a daily tally of impaired driver arrests made by state troopers, as well as alcohol- \nvolved crashes. Our Web site is www.statepatrol .ohio.gov I want to encourage the public to continue using 1877-7-PATROL to report dangerous dri vers or stranded motori sts, or 1-800GRAB DUI to report impaired drivers. So in closing, I want to go back to the question I asked at the beginning of this column - why are state troopers goi ng to be working extra hard during the upcoming Labor Day weekend to arrest impaired drivers? Because over two million miles are driven by impaired motorists every day. and their poor choices severely threaten the wellbeing of every citizen in this state. Because fatalities caused by impaired drivers are indeed an Ohio and national tragedy - and that makes them a potential tragedy for each of us. ' And finally, because we want those who choose to drive impaired, and put innocent people in danger this weekend, to know Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, and literally thousands of other Ohio law enforcement officers along with our safety partners, are committed to making this a safe hoiiday for Ohio families, and those who are safely using our public roadways.

Thought for Today: "The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time." - Willem de Koomng, Dutchborn artist (1904-1997). · 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio TODAY IN HISTORY Kathryn Lopez conservative, Catholic traditionalist magazine - in the 1990s as a young convert from Hinduism. The Indian-American Jindal was writing about religion for a Catholic audience, addressing religious topics, some of relatively parochial concern. And· the Louisiana Democrats'. reading of the articles is completely disin· genuous: For instance, they accuse Jindal of having stat-. ed that non-Catholics are "utterly d~praved ." Patricia .Schroeder had it all wrong when she recently stated that Republicans don't read: It is apparently Louisiana Dems who ·can't · read. Jindal did, in fact, use the words "utterly depraved" - but in quotation marks, quoting John Calvin, a Protestant, who argued that all men are born "utterly depraved." (Jindal. disagreed with the contention.) Furthermore, Jindal wrote that "the Catholic Church must live up to her name by incorporating the many Spirit-led movements found outside her walls.... "I am thrilled by the recent ecumenical discussions that have resulted in Catholics and Evangelicals discovering what they have in common, in terms of both theology and morality, and as exemplified by joining to oppose abortion and other fruits of an increasingly secular society, but I do not want our Evangelical friends to overlook those beliefs that .make Catholicism unique. The challenge is for all Christians to follow Jesus wherever He leads; one significant part of that challenge is to consider serious!y the claims of the Catholic Church." How is any of that even remotely anti-Protestant? It's not, of course. But the temptation to string a few lies together to play on long-simmering hostilities and bigotries is apparently too tempting for Louisiana Democrats to resist. Louisiana, just two years after Katrina, has much more important things to worry about than articles a gubernatorial candidate wrote more than ·a decade ago. But priorities and appropriateness seem not to 'be the concerns of the Party in Democratic Louisiana. Politically, though, is the party's strategy smart? Can it work? If Romney becomes the Republican nominee for president, would hitting Mormonism be a smart strategy for Hillary clinton (who, unless AI Gore enters at the last minute, will be the .nominee)? Philip Jenkins, author of The New Anti-Catholicism, :·~ worries it might be. He predicts: "I hate to say it but ... in touisiana, that large territory located just south of the United States, these ads could be much more effec· tive than someone living elsewhere might suspect. ... ' What prevents appropriate . anger about the Jindal ads is '' that most Americans don't , realize how uniquely bitter .. religious relations still are . in Louisiana, and why such .; rhetoric is so poisonous." , ., And as for the presidential . ,, race, Jenkins - who is no . ideological ally of Romney , - worries: . "Mormons are still fair game, usually because most Americans, even those of benevolent ·~ disposition, don't have real, breathing Mormon neighbors against whom they can test the charges. Historically, what defused anti-Semitism was the sense . of 'But that can't be true. Just think of the Cohens ~: down the road."' o Jenkins says, ominously, that watching "the· outright denunciations of Mormonism" he's seen aimed at Roinney, "takes us right back to the halcyon days of 1840s anti- '" Catholicism."

A marvelous blend of hydrogen and oxygen A few years ago, there was a news story about a guy who started selling bot· tied water for dogs. I told my friends that dogs loved it because the water probably came from his toilet. They say man is the only animal that can laugh. I say man is the only animal that won' I drink out of a toilet, unless that man is pledging a fraternity. Actually, the only animals I know for sure that like lo drink from toilets are cats and dogs, but I'm sure it goes for lots of animals. And lots of pledges. Now we find out that most of the billions . of dollars we humans spent on bottled water last year was for plain, old tap water that we could have gotten free from th'e kitchen sink. Apparently a lot of people find tap water tastes better after they put it in a plastic bottle, put a picture of a mountain on it, fly it half way across the world and charge you a $1.29 for it. It's not plain, old tap water then. It's imported, stickerect tap water. You know it's good because it comes it, filtered it, boiled it again and then dropped a few iodine tablets into it. Yummy.

FAMILY MEDICINE Prevention best treatment for MRSA and other Staph infections Question:' School has started again lions imd bloodstream infections. Of overcrowding and poor hygiene. As :md ili,ere is ~ncern about getting skin mfectlons W\th MRSA at my school. They had some problems last year. Now, every kid with a pimple is getting sent home from school. That is quite a few in middle school. Is my school going overboard with this? Answer: I am not ~re if I can answer questions about your school's policies, but I can give you information about MRSA. First, this abbreviation stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. What this means in plain English is that infections with this type of Staph bacteria are resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin, which is no lon@er used .clinically, as well as amoxicillin, oxacillin and penicillin. Staphylococcus aureus is a very common bacterium, anc;l it lives on the skin and in the noses of over 25 percent of the population.

Thought for Today: "The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time." - Willem de Koomng, Dutchborn artist (1904-1997). · 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio TODAY IN HISTORY Kathryn Lopez conservative, Catholic traditionalist magazine - in the 1990s as a young convert from Hinduism. The Indian-American Jindal was writing about religion for a Catholic audience, addressing religious topics, some of relatively parochial concern. And· the Louisiana Democrats'. reading of the articles is completely disin· genuous: For instance, they accuse Jindal of having stat-. ed that non-Catholics are "utterly d~praved ." Patricia .Schroeder had it all wrong when she recently stated that Republicans don't read: It is apparently Louisiana Dems who ·can't · read. Jindal did, in fact, use the words "utterly depraved" - but in quotation marks, quoting John Calvin, a Protestant, who argued that all men are born "utterly depraved." (Jindal. disagreed with the contention.) Furthermore, Jindal wrote that "the Catholic Church must live up to her name by incorporating the many Spirit-led movements found outside her walls.... "I am thrilled by the recent ecumenical discussions that have resulted in Catholics and Evangelicals discovering what they have in common, in terms of both theology and morality, and as exemplified by joining to oppose abortion and other fruits of an increasingly secular society, but I do not want our Evangelical friends to overlook those beliefs that .make Catholicism unique. The challenge is for all Christians to follow Jesus wherever He leads; one significant part of that challenge is to consider serious!y the claims of the Catholic Church." How is any of that even remotely anti-Protestant? It's not, of course. But the temptation to string a few lies together to play on long-simmering hostilities and bigotries is apparently too tempting for Louisiana Democrats to resist. Louisiana, just two years after Katrina, has much more important things to worry about than articles a gubernatorial candidate wrote more than ·a decade ago. But priorities and appropriateness seem not to 'be the concerns of the Party in Democratic Louisiana. Politically, though, is the party's strategy smart? Can it work? If Romney becomes the Republican nominee for president, would hitting Mormonism be a smart strategy for Hillary clinton (who, unless AI Gore enters at the last minute, will be the .nominee)? Philip Jenkins, author of The New Anti-Catholicism, :·~ worries it might be. He predicts: "I hate to say it but ... in touisiana, that large territory located just south of the United States, these ads could be much more effec· tive than someone living elsewhere might suspect. ... ' What prevents appropriate . anger about the Jindal ads is '' that most Americans don't , realize how uniquely bitter .. religious relations still are . in Louisiana, and why such .; rhetoric is so poisonous." , ., And as for the presidential . ,, race, Jenkins - who is no . ideological ally of Romney , - worries: . "Mormons are still fair game, usually because most Americans, even those of benevolent ·~ disposition, don't have real, breathing Mormon neighbors against whom they can test the charges. Historically, what defused anti-Semitism was the sense . of 'But that can't be true. Just think of the Cohens ~: down the road."' o Jenkins says, ominously, that watching "the· outright denunciations of Mormonism" he's seen aimed at Roinney, "takes us right back to the halcyon days of 1840s anti- '" Catholicism."

A marvelous blend of hydrogen and oxygen A few years ago, there was a news story about a guy who started selling bot· tied water for dogs. I told my friends that dogs loved it because the water probably came from his toilet. They say man is the only animal that can laugh. I say man is the only animal that won' I drink out of a toilet, unless that man is pledging a fraternity. Actually, the only animals I know for sure that like lo drink from toilets are cats and dogs, but I'm sure it goes for lots of animals. And lots of pledges. Now we find out that most of the billions . of dollars we humans spent on bottled water last year was for plain, old tap water that we could have gotten free from th'e kitchen sink. Apparently a lot of people find tap water tastes better after they put it in a plastic bottle, put a picture of a mountain on it, fly it half way across the world and charge you a $1.29 for it. It's not plain, old tap water then. It's imported, stickerect tap water. You know it's good because it comes it, filtered it, boiled it again and then dropped a few iodine tablets into it. Yummy.

A.: If a child is born to a woman who is married, the husband is presumed to be· the father. This presumption may be overcome, however, in an administrative proceeding and/or a lawsuit to determine the father-child relationship, either as part of a divorce action or by a separate action in juvenile coun. When there are conflicting presumptions (e.g., a genetic test finding), the court must detennine paternity. If the mother is unmarried when the child is born, paternity must be determined through a Child Enforcement Support Agency or a juvenile court action, although the administrative proceeding must be started first. Both administrative and judicial proceedings provide ways to obtain genetic -testing that may eventually result in court orders for child support. The parents also may acknowledge paternity on the 8 1/2" X 14" "brown" form available through their Sufport local Child Enforcement Agency i they want to avoid genetic testing or coun involvement.

A.: If a child is born to a woman who is married, the husband is presumed to be· the father. This presumption may be overcome, however, in an administrative proceeding and/or a lawsuit to determine the father-child relationship, either as part of a divorce action or by a separate action in juvenile coun. When there are conflicting presumptions (e.g., a genetic test finding), the court must detennine paternity. If the mother is unmarried when the child is born, paternity must be determined through a Child Enforcement Support Agency or a juvenile court action, although the administrative proceeding must be started first. Both administrative and judicial proceedings provide ways to obtain genetic -testing that may eventually result in court orders for child support. The parents also may acknowledge paternity on the 8 1/2" X 14" "brown" form available through their Sufport local Child Enforcement Agency i they want to avoid genetic testing or coun involvement.

IV' SPORTS W RITER BLACKSBURG, Va. - · The doors that lead to the large auditorium where Virginia Tech's football team meets are kept propped open these days , giving passers-by a clear view to what once appeared to be the Hokies' iimer sanctum . Outside, the words "Michael Vick Hall" on the wide open wooden doors are hardly detectable, and have been for weeks since his legal troubles became increasingly apparent. While the goal of minimizing Vick's. impact at Virginia Tech seems clear; in the offices where coach Frank Beamer and his assistants are preparing for their season opener on Saturday against East Carolina, the support for the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is unwavering. " I thought Michael Vick took a big step yesterday," Beamer said Tuesday, speaking of Vick's statemen! of apology and regret that came minutes after he pleaded guilty· to a federal do~fighting conspiracy charge in Rtchmond, posstbly ending his career. "I thought he was extremely sincere. I'm pulling for Michael Vick. I know how I know him, like him , think about him. I'm pulling for Michael Vick." Beamer, who coached Vick for three seasons and whose team rode his dazzling skills to the Sugar Bowl national championship game in 2000, met with Vick at the NFL Draft in April, around the same time Vick met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank . Vick admittedly lied to Goodell and Blank about the case. "We'll keep· the conversation and what was said between us," Beamer said when asked if Vick also had lied to him at their meeting in New York. Beamer said he hasn't spoken with Vick since, and it's clear Vick's problems is not a favorite topic. The Hokies already are in the midst of an intense week, preparing for the first game since a gunman killed 32 people and himself on the Virginia Tech campus. The shootings happened nine days before local offic1als in Surry County raided a home Vick owned as part of a drug investigation , setting off what evolved into the dogfightittg probe that has seen Vick and three associates plead guilty .. · Each faces as much as five years in prison when sentenced later this · year. The NFL has suspended Vick indefinitely without pay . The Falcons intend to pursue the $22 million in bonus money he already received in a $130 million contract signed in 2004. Several Hokies players saw the AP photo Atlanta Falcens quarterback Michael Vick apologized, but it may not be enough to overcome the gambling aspect of federal dogfighting charges. former Virginia Tech star on television Monday, either on his way into the federal courthouse greeted br protesters and supporters, on h1s way out to the same reception or struggling to express his sorrow on a podiull) later. Linebacker Vince Hall said it was a scene players could learn from . "You've always got to make the right decisions, and if you do wrong , you're going to pay for it and all you can do is serve rour time for it and change," he sa1d. Vick 's somber apology was a good and convincing beginning, Hall added. "For him to come out and talk about it .and (say) 'Yes, I did it and I'm sorry' and to apologize to the kids, that's the main thing," he . said. "It's the kids that look up to him and once you· say sorry to them , there's not much you can say after that." _ Tailback Branden Ore, who spent a semester working in a warehouse when he was slacking academically and was told by his coaches to' go home and evaluate how much football meant to him, has met Vick a few times and found him to be a good guy. The lesson Vick is learning , though, came through loud and clear. "I think anybody that's in that kind of position knows that just as quick as you get built up, they'II break you down . You've just got to be careful of what you 're doing and who you are hanging with ," the starting tailback said. But, he added , he agreed Vick already has made a first step toward redemption. "From the impression that I got, the speech was sincere. He didn't have it written down. That was · straight from the heart, so I would ·say America is a forgiving country once you show people that you are really sincere about the mistakes that you made." The lesson, wide receiver Justin Harper said, was much like the one the Hokies have been highlighting each day since the April 16 shootings brought tragedy to campus. "You 've got to value each day," he said. BY BRIAN M~ONEY IV' BASKETBALL WRITER LAS VEGAS The Americans made Athens look like ancient history.

The Americans also got back reserve forward Tayshaun Prince after he missed Monday's victory over -Mexij:o with a sprained left ankle. Larry Ayuso scored 13 points for Puerto Rico, which plays Venezuela on Wednesday. NEW YORK (AP) Maria Sharapova shanked a backhand wide, prompting her opponent to leap in the air and pump bet fist and smile as though she 'd won the match - or, indeed, the U.S. Open championship itself. Uh , not quite. That little celebration by 51 st-ranked Roberta Vinci of Italy was for winning one . game Tuesday night, allowing her to narrow Sharapova's lead to 6-0, 5-1. "1 win one game , I' m happy," Vinci said. "6-love, 6-love? No . 6-love , 6-1? OK ." A few minutes and. one hold of serve later, Sharapova's 50-minute day was done, and she was into the second round at the tournament where she produced her second Grand Slam title a year ago. "There's no way to get rid of the memories when I walk on the court and feel the vibe," the second-seeded Russian said, 600 crystals on her red dress sparkling in the Arthur Ashe Stad1um lights . "Every comer I turn here , I get goose bumps." She compiled ' l5 winners before Vmci hit her first and finished with a 30-3 edge in th'at category during the 6-0. 6-1 victory .,... part of a mini-parade of past champions in first-round action, That included victories for Martina Hingis , Svetlana Kuznetsova and Lleyton Hewitt , with Andy Roddick still to play later. Sharapova's good feelings from her U.S. Open title are still fresh, but it's been a decade since Hingis won the tournament. This . year, I PITTSBURGH (AP) The Cincinnati Reds' August burst was beginning to cau se a stir in the NL Central. What may have been overlooked was their NL Central rival , the Pittsburgh Pirates, ·have been nearly as hot . Freddy Sanchez kept his sizzling August going with a grand slam and five RBis, and the Pirates ended the Reds' six -game winning streak with a 6-4 victory Tuesday in a doubleheader opener. Tom Gorzelanny · (I 3-7) gave up four runs in six innings but still got his fourth victory in five starts as Pittsburgh won for the ninth time in 12 games. xorzelann~ ;enth4- l in ugust an as t e most ;ins by a P;ates le~t- haler swce <... enny , eag e was 14-6 in 1996. "We don 't want to lose any games , but it's bound to happen ," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said . "We were seemingly listless at the beginning , but it always looks that way when you're not getting hits or runs, especially with a guy like Gorzelanny . But we got right back in it." Gorzelanny was lifted during a two-run seventh in which John Grabow came in to get the final two outs . Matt Capps pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunit.ies, striking out pmch-h1tter Adam Dunn to end the game with runners at the comers . "We told him there , with onlr David Ross left on the1r bench , to throw 0and-2 pitches from the getgo ," Pirates manager Jim Tracy said , meaning that ' "You don't expect a grand slam from Freddy to dead center. I know he can tum on a ball , but he got into that one pretty well." The Reds had made up I 0 1/2 games in the standmg s since July • 2 under Mackanin , closing within 6 1/2 games of the NL Central-le'ading Chicago going into the doubleheader: Maybe they took some inspiration from the 1973 I\ lets who, on the same date 34 years before , were in last place with a near-identical record to the Reds' 6071 but went on to win the AP photo division and the NLCS Pittsburgh Pirates' Jason Bay rounds third after hitting a beating heavily favored fifth-inni~g. solo home run off Cincinnati Reds' Ellzardo Cincinnati - and reach Ramirez during baseball action in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Others winning Tuesday included a man many consider a likely future Grand Slam champion, No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic, and No. 6 James Blake. The day 's biggest early surprise came when No. 9 Daniela Hantuchova, a past U.S. Open quarterfi nalist, was eliminated by 50th-ranked Julia Vakulenko of Ukraine 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.

"Everybody was watcl\ing her," the 22-year-old Johansson said. Hingis returned to the circuit full-time in 2006,reaching two major quarterfinals. But her htp came out of alignment a few months ago, and that and back prob!ems limited Hingis to a 4-4 record from the start of April until arriving in New York.

IV' SPORTS W RITER BLACKSBURG, Va. - · The doors that lead to the large auditorium where Virginia Tech's football team meets are kept propped open these days , giving passers-by a clear view to what once appeared to be the Hokies' iimer sanctum . Outside, the words "Michael Vick Hall" on the wide open wooden doors are hardly detectable, and have been for weeks since his legal troubles became increasingly apparent. While the goal of minimizing Vick's. impact at Virginia Tech seems clear; in the offices where coach Frank Beamer and his assistants are preparing for their season opener on Saturday against East Carolina, the support for the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is unwavering. " I thought Michael Vick took a big step yesterday," Beamer said Tuesday, speaking of Vick's statemen! of apology and regret that came minutes after he pleaded guilty· to a federal do~fighting conspiracy charge in Rtchmond, posstbly ending his career. "I thought he was extremely sincere. I'm pulling for Michael Vick. I know how I know him, like him , think about him. I'm pulling for Michael Vick." Beamer, who coached Vick for three seasons and whose team rode his dazzling skills to the Sugar Bowl national championship game in 2000, met with Vick at the NFL Draft in April, around the same time Vick met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank . Vick admittedly lied to Goodell and Blank about the case. "We'll keep· the conversation and what was said between us," Beamer said when asked if Vick also had lied to him at their meeting in New York. Beamer said he hasn't spoken with Vick since, and it's clear Vick's problems is not a favorite topic. The Hokies already are in the midst of an intense week, preparing for the first game since a gunman killed 32 people and himself on the Virginia Tech campus. The shootings happened nine days before local offic1als in Surry County raided a home Vick owned as part of a drug investigation , setting off what evolved into the dogfightittg probe that has seen Vick and three associates plead guilty .. · Each faces as much as five years in prison when sentenced later this · year. The NFL has suspended Vick indefinitely without pay . The Falcons intend to pursue the $22 million in bonus money he already received in a $130 million contract signed in 2004. Several Hokies players saw the AP photo Atlanta Falcens quarterback Michael Vick apologized, but it may not be enough to overcome the gambling aspect of federal dogfighting charges. former Virginia Tech star on television Monday, either on his way into the federal courthouse greeted br protesters and supporters, on h1s way out to the same reception or struggling to express his sorrow on a podiull) later. Linebacker Vince Hall said it was a scene players could learn from . "You've always got to make the right decisions, and if you do wrong , you're going to pay for it and all you can do is serve rour time for it and change," he sa1d. Vick 's somber apology was a good and convincing beginning, Hall added. "For him to come out and talk about it .and (say) 'Yes, I did it and I'm sorry' and to apologize to the kids, that's the main thing," he . said. "It's the kids that look up to him and once you· say sorry to them , there's not much you can say after that." _ Tailback Branden Ore, who spent a semester working in a warehouse when he was slacking academically and was told by his coaches to' go home and evaluate how much football meant to him, has met Vick a few times and found him to be a good guy. The lesson Vick is learning , though, came through loud and clear. "I think anybody that's in that kind of position knows that just as quick as you get built up, they'II break you down . You've just got to be careful of what you 're doing and who you are hanging with ," the starting tailback said. But, he added , he agreed Vick already has made a first step toward redemption. "From the impression that I got, the speech was sincere. He didn't have it written down. That was · straight from the heart, so I would ·say America is a forgiving country once you show people that you are really sincere about the mistakes that you made." The lesson, wide receiver Justin Harper said, was much like the one the Hokies have been highlighting each day since the April 16 shootings brought tragedy to campus. "You 've got to value each day," he said. BY BRIAN M~ONEY IV' BASKETBALL WRITER LAS VEGAS The Americans made Athens look like ancient history.

What may have been overlooked was their NL Central rival , the Pittsburgh Pirates, ·have been nearly as hot . Freddy Sanchez kept his sizzling August going with a grand slam and five RBis, and the Pirates ended the Reds' six -game winning streak with a 6-4 victory Tuesday in a doubleheader opener. Tom Gorzelanny · (I 3-7) gave up four runs in six innings but still got his fourth victory in five starts as Pittsburgh won for the ninth time in 12 games. xorzelann~ ;enth4- l in ugust an as t e most ;ins by a P;ates le~t- haler swce <... enny , eag e was 14-6 in 1996. "We don 't want to lose any games , but it's bound to happen ," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said . "We were seemingly listless at the beginning , but it always looks that way when you're not getting hits or runs, especially with a guy like Gorzelanny . But we got right back in it." Gorzelanny was lifted during a two-run seventh in which John Grabow came in to get the final two outs . Matt Capps pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunit.ies, striking out pmch-h1tter Adam Dunn to end the game with runners at the comers . "We told him there , with onlr David Ross left on the1r bench , to throw 0and-2 pitches from the getgo ," Pirates manager Jim Tracy said , meaning that ' "You don't expect a grand slam from Freddy to dead center.

Open anc ez s s ~carries rates past e s, · Hingis took a stroll around the new workout room and simply had to smile while scanning the enlarged photos decorating the walls. · Hingis was willing to reminisce a bit after beating Mathilde Johansson of France 6-0, 6-3 . Others winning Tuesday included a man many consider a likely future Grand Slam champion, No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic, and No. 6 James Blake. The day 's biggest early surprise came when No. 9 Daniela Hantuchova, a past U.S. Open quarterfi nalist, was eliminated by 50th-ranked Julia Vakulenko of Ukraine 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. Hingis might face Kuznetsova , in the fourth round, b1.1t that's a little far to look ahead these days for the 26-year-old who used' to be called "The Swiss Miss" - in the long-ago days. when she' was atop the rankings and won five Slams. The days before she missed three years' worth of majors because of foot and leg injuries. The days when Thesday 's opponent would· see Hingis on TV. "Everybody was watcl\ing her," the 22-year-old Johansson said. Hingis returned to the circuit full-time in 2006,reaching two major quarterfinals. But her htp came out of alignment a few months ago, and that and back prob!ems limited Hingis to a 4-4 record from the start of April until arriving in New York. "I used to recover faster when 1 was younger," she said, then compared her old self to the Energizer Bunny, before adding: "It's not like that anymore." ijtrtbune - Sentinel - l\e Publlehlng reeervea United States routs Puerto Rico 117-78, clinches berth in FIBA Americas semifinals •• www.mydallysentinel.com _..,;:.. __ ,. ,~ ······- -··.. trator at (740)992-6472.

Reisman winner's Documents ~ Tim Couch to doping regimed .m. replacement at QB will be Boeckman BY THE ASSO<;IATED PRESS COLUMBUS (AP) - To the surprise of no one, Todd Boeckman will start at quarterback when No. II Ohio State hosts 1-AA Youngstown State on Sarurday in its !18th season-opener. "Todd Boeckman is the guy that's going to have the first chance to go out there and be nervous and have some fun," coach·Jim Tressel said Tuesday. "He's been waiting so long for this opportunitY.. He's been studying hard, paying close attention. He knows who we are and what we want to do." Boeckman takes over for Troy Smith, who won the Heisinan Trophy last season while the Buckeyes rolled to a 12-0 start before losing 4114 in the national championship game. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Boeckman was listed No. 1 on the depth chart coming into sprin~ practice, then solidified his position this fall over contenders Rob Schoenhoft, Antonio Henton and Joe Bauserman. "What gives Todd the nod over Robbie and Antonio and Joe, I think, is his understanding-of the whole system and ali that goes into it," Tressel said. "He's just got so much experience." . Boeckman may have more experience than the others in practice, but certainly not in g~es. He has thrown only ~!J,, passes in six mop-up appearances since coming to ·campus in 2004. A fourthyear junior, he's 23. He's never taken a snap · with a game hanging in the balance. "It's an honor to be named the starting quarterback at Ohio State," he said after Tuesday's practice. "It's pretty much a dreain come true for me. But I h~ve to go out there and stay focuSed and do what I need to do and. lead this team." Boeckman comes from St. Henry, Ohio, the same burg that provided former Buckeyes quarterback Bobby Hoying. 'Boeckman said it took him a while to feel comfortable enough to take over Smith's spot. "At first I was a little too tense, a little overly excited - I just wanted to do the right thing at all times," he said. "As I started to get out there, I started to relax, stay focused and just prepare myself, take it easy, take it one step at a time, and try not to be too overwhelmed." Offensive tackle Kirk Barton said Boeckman gradually asserted himself more and more. "He definitely progressed. He had a couple of good scrimma~es and some §ood practices,' Barton said. 'The biggest thing is no mistakes, no turnovers. That's the big thing with all of our skill guys. As long as we don't tum the ball over, we always have a good shot at winning." Tressel said Schoenhoft also a jumbo-sized junior at 6-6 and 240 - will play against ; the Pengu~·; ~ Henton is listed as third team, while Bauserman, a· touied high school quarter,· ' back prqspect before playing three years of minor-league baseball, is regaining his footing ' after being away from the game. Fullback Dionte ·Johnson said Boeckman was tentative in the spring but has settled' in this summer and taken over the spot as if he were an old pro. "His confidence · really shot up. He was leaps and bounds more comfortable," Johnson said. "Not to say that he was more comfortable than the other quarterbacks, but just between being in the huddle now and in the spring, you can tell now that he has control over what he'S' doing. Now he understands the defenses, he understands the looks." The Buckeyes went 8-4 in 2004 the last time they had to break in a new frrst-year starting quarterback. Two years before that, rookie starter Craig Krenzel led Ohio State to its (mt national championship in 34 years. Boeckman acknowledges that he's just the starter for the opener. It's up to him to keep the job. · "None of us really has game experience," he said. "It's going to be a great deciding factor of who can be the starting quarterback the rest of the season." 1 Former No. 1 NFL draft pick Tun Couch had doping regimens that called for anabolic steroids and human growth hormone, according to documents obtained by Yahoo.com. Couch, the former Cleveland Browns_ quarterback who was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this month, told Yahoo.com · he used HGH for about a week, under a doctor's care, in hopes it would help him recover from shoulder surgery. He denied using steroids or any other barmed drugs and said he had never seen the documents. Yahoo.com reported Tuesday it had obtainea documents from an anonymous source . with Couch's name printed across the top that called for extensive use of drugs barmed by the league. The Web site identified the source as a former associate of Brian Yusem, a nutritionist in Boca Raton, Aa., who Yahoo.com said has worked with Couch since January 2006. "Just because somebody prints something and says Ibis is the protocol I would suggest qoesn 't mean somebody has the obligation to do it or did it," Yusem told the Web site, calling the documents "worthless." Couch's a~ent, Tom Conddn, didn t· return a phone call from The Associated. Press, and the NFL had no comment. The documents detail three regimens - 72-day, 80-day and 55-day programs dated Jan. 26,2006, SeQ!. 18, 2006 and Nov. 27, · 2006, acconling to Yahoo.com. .

SeePageB1 BY CHARLENE HOEFUCH HOEFliCH~DAILYSENTINELCOM POMEROY - A oneyear extension of the negotiated agreement with the Meigs Local Teachers Association to provide for salary increases and participation changes in the health benefit program and prescription drug plan, has been was ratitied by the Meigs Local Board of Education. The negotiated agreement . now in its second year was .changed to give teachers a four (4) percent pay increase, to increase the employees' share of insurance cost by one (I) percent and to eliminate contract wording to permit drug prescriptions with generic instea(j of brand name drugs when available. Superintendent William · Buckley said that the prescription drug change could conceivably save the district about $400,000 a year. from Buckley in which he asked that further consideration· to the retire/rehire option he requested earlier be discontinued. The letter stated reasons for withdrawing his earlier request. some pertaining to accumulated sick and vacation. He concluded with the statement that he will continue to give a full measure of service to the district for the three years remammg on his contract. As for how the teachers' contract adjustment compared with that the non-certified employees which was ratified earlier, Buckley said it was very similar. He explained that while OAPSE's increase was not quite as large, neither did they pick up any addition payment on the insurance. Both contracts have one year reopening clauses. In other business, the Board was given a letter Mark Rhonemus, treasurer, reponed on the reviSed temporary appropriations of $27,350.340 for the 200708 year noli ng that the figure is 2 1/2 million higher than what was approved in July. He said that the increase comes by way of several items including the cost of insurance. In other action. the board approved admission prices Pluse 1ee Contracb. AS BY BRIAN J.

This year's 12th annual trail ride, otherwise known as "Fun Day at the Dill Farm" begins at noon on Saturday, Sept. IS at ihe WEATHER Dill Farm at 34843 Beech Grove Road in Rutland. Trailers and campers will take over the hayfields along Beech Grove Road in preparation for the ride which will include a hog roast and bean dinner afterwards. The ride, like the food, is free and although donations are appreciated to St. Jude, they are not required to attend the event and neither is prior registration. The day of the ride, riders are invited to come early to sign in and sign up for drawings. The way the ride works for those who wish to raise money for St. Jude is to get a sponsorship sheet from Isabel. On the sheet the rider lists names of people who sponsor that rider to participate in the trail ride for various amounts of money and Isabel says those sheets can be obtained by calling her at 742-2849 or can be picked up the day of the ride. This year in addition to the sponsorship sheets·, money is alsO' being raised by having a drawing for that two-year old registered quarter horse gelding. The horse was donated by Brett and Connie Carl of Darwin whom Isabel said wished to do something extra for the trail ride this year. The horse is currently being trained for its new home and owner. "The colt is wonderful," Isabel said. " He will 'make an excellent 4-H horse and is very calm. " Tickets for the colt are $2 each or eight tickt!ts for $10 and can be purchased by coniacting Isabel at 7422849 or Joyce Frye at 7422081. The ladies are also BY BETit SERGENT .

POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council recently approved the tirst reading of . an ordinance to r.aise villa.ge sewer rates to comply wnh regulations set forth by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA). The OEPA is requiring the village raise the rates for sanitary sewage services to a minimum of approximately two percent of tbe median household income·. If Pomeroy doesn't comply the OEPA can lesson the number of years (20) it requires for the village to eliminate its two combined sewer overtlows (CSO's). The elimination of those CSO's is the other reason the village is considering raising rates. CSO's are a' source of stream pollution in older ctttes and are outlets that dump eXCeSS Water (SUCh as after a large rainfall) from the sewers into streams and rivers, keeping sewers from backing up into homes, businesses and_ streets. Village Administrator John Anderson said this EPA mandate comes al the federal level and effects CSO's across the country, including the 1,340 across the state ~f Ohio. The federal mandate does not include federal funding. So how much will this cost Pomeroy residents? The ordinance actually proposes three rate increases over a period of two years which are described as a "worst case scenario" by Anderson and Mayor John Musser. What that means is if the viiIage cannot secure any grants or additional money to eliminate the CSO's the rate increases would likely remain the same. Right now sewer customers pay $4.50 tor the first 2,000 gallons used while they pay $1.50 tor every I ,000 gallons used in addition to that first 2,000. If the ordinance passes, beginning on Oct. 10, customers would then pay $6.50 for the first 2,000 gallons and $3.50 for ever I ,000 gallons used in addition to that first 2,000 gallons. The next rate increase would be on Sept. I0, 2008 with a minimum charge of $7.50 forth~ first 2,000 gallons and $4.50 per 1,000 gallons used in addition to the 2,000 gallon minimum . Then on Sept. 10, 2009, the rate wou ld go to $8 for the first 2,000 gallons and $5 per I ,000 gallons used in addition to the minimum. Also, starting with the , ,, POMEROY- Six candidates for local office were eliminated from the ballot Tuesday when the Meigs County Board of Elections met to certify petitions of candidacy. The bo<!.fd deemed petitions of the following candidates invalid: Jeff Birchfield, Albany, candidate for • Columbia Township Trustee; Keith White. Racine, candidate for Letart Township Trustee; Sari E. PutmanSuttle, Long Bottom, candidate for Olive Township Fiscal Officer: Karen A. Ridenour, Pomeroy, candidate for Scipio Township Fiscal Officer; and Charles 0. Weber, Reedsville, candidate for Eastern Local Board of Education. The petitions were deemed invalid due to insufficient signatures or other issues, according to Deputy Director Becky Johnston. The candidates hi!Ve until Sept. 5 to file petitions as wnte-in candidates, if they choose to do so. The following petitions were certified: Township offices billing cycle on Oct. 10, the tap fee for a sanitary sewer connection will be $350 plus the actual costs of the labor and materials incurred or contracted by the village to complete the work. Ander-son emphasized both the OEPA's mandate on the CSO's and raising the rate to two percent of the median income, in addition to the village being able to pay for "inflated operating expenses incurred over the last 30 years" were all reasons why the increases are even being considered . He added no one wants to raise the rates but the village has to comply with the law "like everybody else." Although it hasn't been approved yet, Anderson has submitted a long term control plan to the OEPA on how to Bedford Trustee: John Dean, Pomeroy; Bedford Fiscal· Officer,,.
