The meeting, held by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and attended by just under 150 people, was meant to inform the public of its role in the permitting process and to take testimony on AMP-Ohio's permit-to-install. A PTI must be obtained by the OEPA before an air pollution source is constructed in Ohio. Members · of the OEPA stated AMP-Ohio's permit is "not a done deal" and that the agency is neither for or against the plant. Bureaucracy aside, there were several people at the meeting who were not afraid to give testimony for and- against the facility proposed for Letart Falls. · The OEPA invited elected officials to speak first and Meigs County Commissioner Mick Davenport began the actual hearing process by voicing his support . for the plant. Davenport also presented the OEPA with letters of support from the mayors of the county's five municipalities and all elected county officials, including support from the trustees of Letart Township.

' ' �Page.A2 FAt1'H. • VALUES The Daily Sentinel ' Friday, October 26; 2007 Friday, October 26, 2007 Beggars and choosers - - - A Hunger For More- -Last night was "Trick-orTreat" Night in Racine and other communities in Meigs County. Hundreds of children took to the streets dressed up in costumes and went from door-to-door expecting to receive candy. "Trick . or Treat'" they shouted. Adults smiled, admired their costumes and threw a couple of fun-sized chocolate bars or sugary sweets into their bags. Then the kids raced off to the next house to repeat the ritual. Again and again. Until they come home at the end of the evening with bags almost as heavy as they are! What fun! Begzing for. candy - and getiing it!! During their quest, kids don't care what kind of candy they receive. The fun is in the pursuit of a full bag- it's only later that they become choosy at what they actually eat. (Actually, it may be the parents who are choosy as to what they actually eat!) My wife and I would always go .through the candy after our kids came home from trick-or-treat night. Part of the sorting, obviously, was to make sure the candy was safe to eat. I haven' t heard as much lately, but when I was growing up, there were all kinds of stories of unsafe and dangerous items bei,ng planted in the candy to hurt or poison unsuspecting children. Rumors Qf razor blades embedded in apples and p<Jpcorn balls ineant the end of homemade or healthy treats. Now we're left with prepackaged ·candy, none of which is really good for us. But beyond making sure the candy is safe, we also separate out the chocolate from the sugary stuff. You see, I am very choosy when it comes to the candy that I · consume! What I want is chocolate with nuts, such as Snickers, Mr. Goodbar, or Reece.'s. My kids on the other hand, like Smarties, Tootsie Pops, and SourTarts, as well as chocolate. But theydon't like nuts! I think all this begging and choosing about candy is similar to what we do when it comes to Jesus Christ. We come to Jesus as beggars. We have nothing of value to give him. Even if I have all the wealth of the world, I cannot buy a relationship with Christ. God doesn't care about what I have, God cares about who I am. So the only way to have a relationship is to come as a beggar, begging for forgiveness and a fresh start in life. Pastor Kerry Wood And just as on trick-ortreilt nights are bags are tilled with candy, so are our liv.es filled with Jesus Christ when we come to him. Often in the eu~horia of that new relationship, we don't care what Jesus is doing in us. We're just excited that now we have found something of true value. But then something strange happens. We start to become choosy about what Jesus wants to do with us. Some things about us, we are ready for him to change; but other places are definitely off-limits! · When pastors start to touch on those off limit places, they get accused of "meddlin'," and people don't like it. Sometimes pastors are meddling in things, but more often than not they are simply preaching the uncomfortable truth that we cannot choose to ignore without eternal consequences. We cannot say, 'Til take Jesus - hold the nuts!" We either get all of Jesus, or none of Jesus. In Luke chapter 9, Jesus said to a man, "follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." Jesus said to him, "let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the .kingdom of God." Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and sar, goodbye to my family. ' Jesus replied, "no one who puts his hand to the plow looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Jesus was not trying to be. unreasonable With these men, but he was insisting that they follow him with· out reservation. He makes the same demands upon us today. We can beg· for forgiveness and ask for salvation, but we cannot be choosy as to how God responds. You can trust that when you say "trick-ortreat" to Jesus, there will be no tricks -just treats! As my family and I were driving to worship last Sunday morning, I commented to my passengers how beautiful the fall leaves were. In spite of the harsh, dry weather, the trees have not disappointed me, truly demonstrating the artistic flair of God. My wife echoed my sentiments and our chjldren were soon p<Jinting out which clusters of leaves they especially enjoyed. "Lool$. at that red!" "I like the orange best!" ''Those yellow over there are really bright!" So we continued to drive for the next couple of miles while they continued to "ooh'' and .. ah, over the arboreal fireworks. Then the voice of our youngest son rang out, "Look at THOSE leaves! They're brown! They're dead!" I glanced at him quickly in the rear-view mirror and wondered at how quickly our conversation had turned from the wonder over the beauty surrounding us to the grim acknowledgement that, yes, there were also the portents of death. "Well, yes," I began as I thought hard about how to respond. "Of course, you know that they're just getting ready to make room for the new leaves that will come in the spring." He and the others didn't reply but · grew silent as they considered what I had said. I also continued to consider it, realizing that there was a significant parallel for how with immortality.

Marjaneh Seirafi-Pour, a Muslim and chairwoman of the governor's council, said she received a call from Duncan wondering whether state money was used to buy the books. She said members of the Muslim community paid for the copies. "We are not trying to force anything on anyone," she said. She estimated there are 30,000 to 50,000 Muslims in Oklahoma.

There are 66 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 26, 1881, the "Gunfight at the 0 .K. Corral" took place in Tombstone, ·Ariz., as Wyatt Earp, his two brothers and "Doc" Holliday confronted Ike Clanton's gang. Three members of Clanton's group were killed; Earp's brothers and Holliday were wounded. On this date: In 1774, the First Continental Congress adjourned in Philadelphia. · . . In 1825, the Erie Canal opened in upstate New York, connecting Lake Erie and the Hudson River. In 1942, Japanese planes badly damaged the U.S. ship Hornet in the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands during World War II. (The Hornet sank early the next morning.) · In 1957, the Soviet Union announced that defense minister Marshal Georgi Zhukov had been relieved of his duties . In 1967, the Shah of Iran crowned himself and his queen after 26 years on the Peacock Throne. In 1972, national security adviser Henry Kissinger declared, "Peace is at hand" in Vietnam. In 1979, South Korean President Park Chung-hee was shot to death by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Jae-kyu. . · . In 1984, "Baby Fae," a newborn with a severe heart defect, was given the heart of a baboon in an experimental transplant in Lorna Linda, Calif. (Baby Fae lived 21 days with the animal heart.) In 1994, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Prime Minister Abdel Salam Majali of Jordan signed a peace treaty during a ceremony at the Israeli-Jordanian border attended by President Bill Clinton. In 200 I, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act, giving authorities unprecedented ability to search, seize, detain or eavesdrop in their pursuit of possible terrorists. Ten years ago: The Florida Marlins became the youngest franchise to win the World Series with a 3-2 victory in the lith inning over the Cleveland Indians in the seventh and final game. Chinese leader Jiang Zemin arrived in Honolulu en route to a White House summit with President Clinton. Five years ago: The hostage siege by Chechen rebels at a Moscow theater ended with 129 of the 800-plus captives dead, most from a knockout gas used by Russian special forces who stormed the theater. Tens of thousands of antiwar protesters circled the White House after Jesse Jackson and other speakers denounced the Bush administration's Iraq policies. The Ana~eim Angels defeated the San Francisco Giants 6-5 in G~me 6 of the World Series, forcing a seventh and final showdown. One year ago: A wildfire in Southern California. killed five firefighters (investigators later determined the cause was arson).

'214.21 "Friday, October 26, 2007 Entertainment versus religious messages The idea for the movie began with a vision of three fake pirates fallin g frop the sky into the ocean, transported in a magical rowboai back to the 17th century. It helps to know that Elliot, Sedgewick and George have, in their previous dramatic lives. ' been known as Larry the Cucumber. Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape - key characters in the successfu l VeggieTales products created by Big Idea Inc. Now they ' re headed back to theaters in "The Pirates Who Don ' t Do Anything ," a feature film distributed by Universal Pictures that is scheduled for release Jan. 1·1. Thi s time around , the vegetables don't quote scripture and their adventure doesn 't turn into a funny vers ion of a Bible story. Still, the artist also known as Bob the Tomato stressed that Veggie fan s don 't have to worry that these pirates ha ve abandoned the faith. " "You can do a story like this one of two ways," said Phil Vischer, who· created Big Idea and continues to work as a writer and performer for the company. "You can say, 'Let's start with a Bible story and then we ' ll fi gure out where our characters fit into it.' When you do this, you know that you already have a story and some charac ters and · Terry Mattingly there is a biblical message in there. The chall enge is figurin g out how to make it VeggieTales story. You have lo find the humor. " Thi s is what happened with "Jonah," the tirst feature-length · VeggieTales production, which cost $ 16 million to make and took in about $25 million at the box office back in 2002. That was a lot of money for an openly Christian movie in the days before "The Passio,n of the Christ" and 'The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." However, "Jonah" was a high-stakes gamble for Vischer and hi s Big Idea team. part of a complicated legal and fin ancial train wreck that led to the sale of the co mpany to Classic Medi a. The VeggieTales franchi se, which has· sold more I han 50 million DVDs and other video products, is now part of the Entertainment Right s, a British company. The VeggieTales stars have also been a hit on Saturday mornings for NBC , but with some of their more explicit God references trimmed for general consumption. The big question for the Big Idea people is wheth er softening the religious language in their stories is a plus or a minus, when it comes to reaching a wider audience. This is not a new question. Vischer noted that the VeggieTale s team has been using a second, less explicitly religiou s, way of telling stories since the very beginning. If the first approach to · telling stories starts with the Bible and then blends in humor, the second begins with a funny story and then tries to blend in some faith. Th at's what happened in 2003 when Vischer had his · rowboat vision and wrote the script for "The Pirates Who Don 't Do Anything ." "You can do it either way. This time, we just started out with the slacker pirates and we went from there." he said. "When you go this route, someone always .has to ask, 'So what 's the lesson here?' I usually have to .say, 'I don 't know right now, but we'll dig around until we find one.' "So the new mo vie's message is biblical, even if it doesn't openly quote the Bible. Christian .parents who take their children to see the film will recognize that it's a parable about God helping the heroes conquer their fears and weaknesses, said Terry Pefanis, the chief operating officer at Big Idea. Many other viewers will think that it's a silly, posi tive, wholesome story for children - period. Studio executives know that, to be a mainstream hit, thi s kind of faith-friendly product has to appeal to both of these audiences. It has to please the people from the pews while reaching out to as many other viewers as possible. · "There is a Christian market out there," said Pefanis, after a test screening of an unfinished version of the movie last week in Nashville. "Hollywood is starting to realize that. now. "There are people who want to ' ee good entertainmen! that has some Christian content. But it has to be good. You can't just put something in · a Christian box and expect people to love it. There has to be a real story in there."

PageA4 At first glance, the heav ~ "· ens would seem to be beam- · ing on AI Gore . The former vice president, who actually received more votes than George W. Bush in 2000 but . lost the presidency because they were maldistributed in the . Electoral College. has been on a spectacular roll. With more governmental experience than anyone else mentioned as a possibl e nominee of either party, he has spent the last few years reinventing himself as a man deeply concerned for the future of humanity, and par, ticularly for the threat supposedly posed lo it by global warming. He has traveled the globe making speeches in which he warns "against the peril. He has written a whole book about the subject, entitled "An Inconvenient Truth ." He has generated attentiongetting warnings in variou s media, winning an Emmy and an Oscar in the proce ~s. And now the Nobel Peace Prize - surely one of the world 's most distingui shed honors - has been conferred on him, apparently on the theory that calling attention to \he risks of glohal warming cnn tri butes some' how to the cause of world peace. (There is <Ill alterna- b William · Rusher live theory that the Nobel Prize Committee has, in recent years, for all practical purposes sold out to the left, and now makes its awards with that in mind; but let us accept the more charitable interpretation.) It is true that Gore's asser"tions on the dangers of global warming have not go ne t}nchallenged, and probably don 't deserve to. He is on record as predicting worstcase scenarios in whic h the melting of Greenland and Antarctica cou ld raise mean sea level by as much as 20 feet, whereas the scientific consensus is not much more th an I foot. But to quarrd wit h rhe detail s of Gore's li.>recasl is simply irrelevant. The poi nt is that the man dearly cares. and is working furiuus ly to avert what he si ncerely believes is a looming disaster. How can one criticize a man so manifestl y hent ' on · savi ng the human race? , There would seem only one honor left for him to receive . What else could so perfectly crown this lifetime of public service as ... · the presidency of the United States? You can bet your bottom dollar that he wants the job - wants it so much his chest aches. After all, he has pursued it all his life. And now the .stars seem aligned m a way that points inexorably toward that one glittering goal. There is, in fact, only one serious obstacle. And there she sits, like the Rock of Chickamauga: Hillary Clinton . · In recent weeks, Sen. CUnton has been steadily lengthening her lead over the other declared candidates for the Democratic nomination - notably Sen. Barack Obama and .'former Sen. John Edwards, not to mention lesser lights. One after another, leading Democratic politicians have pub Iicly endorsed her, which is the surest possible sign that they believe she has the nomination wrapped up. Up to now, Gore has played a waiting game, refusing ' to an nou nce his candidacy. Pretty clearly, he felt that his ' chance would come only if Clinton "slumbled" in some way, and he was probably right. But what has ratcheted up the torment of his situation is the worldwide acclaim that has resulted from his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. This has, in pure publicrelations terms, seemed so obviously the penultimate achievement of his life one to be topped, but somehow almost inevitably topped, by the presidency. Alas, it is not to be. I have already seen op-ed pieces · arguing that Gore would be a far ·stronger Democratic candidate than Clinton - . . vastly more experienced, just for one thing. And no doubt there will be all sorts of Draft Gore petitions and Draft Gore rallies. But the Clinton Express is coming down the track, and its aura of inevitability is more than powerful enough to sweep away all rational arguments against it. Besides (it will be argued), say what you will, AI Gore had his . chance. Hillary deserves hers. It's as simple as that.

The emission of carbondioxide has been cited as being a cause of global warming which Fiske called ''the moral issue of our generation." "Saying the plant is clean is like saying the sky is green," Fiske said. "It simply isn't true." Local . environmentalist Catherine Cutcher of Rutland felt the county was faced with a conflicting choice of jobs versus the environment. Cutcher, who has an organic farm in the Rutland area urged the . OEPA to deny the permit and raised questiqns about the Powerspan technology which she said had never been used on a plant the size AMP-Ohio is proposing. Powerspan produces ammonium sulfate fertilizer and is said to reduce landfill waste due to the fact gypsum is not produced in the process of the multi-pollutant emissions control technology. On the flip side, supporters of the plant praised AMP-Ohio's use of Powerspan when it came to · emission control. The use of Powerspan and the fertilizer byproduct is also said to contribute more jobs to the area. Greg Sheets of Pomeroy responded to the environmentalists' concerns by sayc Linda Montgomery, Carson Crow, Janet Bolin, Alice Wolfe, and Allison Barnett.

' • ThC Lima News photos Maybe Tressel's best team didn't win it all COLUMBUS- It's much too early to include this year's Ohio State football team in the debate about which one has been Jim Tressel's best team. There is much to accomplish before this team can get into that discussion. Any of the next four regular-season games or the bowl game could knock the unbeaten and topranked Buckeyes down a few spots on the Tressel's best list. The obvious choice for the · best team in the Tressel era is for the national title game. But you could also make a Jim strong argument for the 2005 team as the best in Tressel's Naveau eight seasons at Ohio State. The Uma News That team was pegged as a jnaveau@limanews.com national title contender until 419-993·2087 it lost its second game 25-22 to eventual national chamthe 2002 team.

It finished the season national championship. 10-2 and looked so.strong Last year's team could have down the stretch that Ohio made a good case for itself if it State was the cleal' preseason had remembered to show up favorite in 2006. How good were the 200.5 Buckeyes? They had almost every significant player the2006 team had, plus AJ. Hawk, Santonio Holmes, Nick Mangold, Dante Whitner, Rob Sims, Anthony Schlegel, Bobby Carpenter, Nate Salley, Josh Huston and Ashton Youboty. The big "What if?" for the 2005 Buckeyes was Troy Smith '.s situation. He was suspended for the opener for taking money from a booster and didn't start the Texas game. Smith's struggles continued for two games beyond Texas. He completed only 55 percent of his passes and threw just one more touchdown pasil than interception in his first four games. In his last eight games, he hit 67 percent of his passes and had 13 TDs and two int.ereeptions. Without the distraction of Smith mistaking a booster for · an,automated teller machine, this year's OSU team might be chasing a third national title under Tressel.

I • Friday, October 26, 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B3 Big Ten coaches, players dispute critics Bv RusTY MtUER AP SPORTS WRITER The Big Ten's coaches and players are fed up With betng punchlines. Open JUSt about any magazine or newspaper, glance at a Web page or tum on the TV and odds are you 'II encounter someone making fun of the "Little Ten." The root of much of the derision is Ohio State's lopsided 41 - 14 loss to Florida in last year's BCS title game and Michigan's 32-18 beatdown at the hands of Southern California in the Rose Bowl . . "Not only did that change people's perspective of us, it changed people's vtew of the Big Ten," said current Buckeyes cornerback Malcolm Jenkins. "A lot of people don't really respect the Big Ten anymore." . Adding to that lack of respect were htgh-profile losses this fall to low-profile teams such as Appalachian State (Michigan), Duke (Northwestern) and Florida Atlantic and North Dakota State (Minnesota). Ohio State is No. I in the country, but critics quickly point out that the Buckeyes have yet to beat a team that doesn't have at least three losses. "I don't know if you really ever satisfy them because even if you go and win it all I'm sure they'll say, ' Well, blahblahblah LS U played so-and-so and Ohio State played in a Big Ten Conference that everyone &ays is weak,"' said Buckeyes tight end Rory Nichol. "They're crazy though. The Big Ten isn't weak." Joe Tiller, Purdue's coach for the past 11 years, says the conference race ts hardly a pillowfight. "It's more competitive than at. any time since we've been here," he said. "We've never been in this position this late in the season with this many teams capable of being bowl eligible. I think there's ~eat balance in this league." · Micht~an, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsm and Ohio State already have had their tickets punched for the postseason. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State and Northwestern each need just one more win to earn a bowl trip. Ohio State's players are holding their breath that all the negative talk about the Big Ten won' t be enough to so mehow allow a one- loss team to slip past them in the BCS ra nkings, even if they stay perfect. "When it's all said and done, we can only do what we have control ove r, .which is winning our games," Jenkins said. CORNER KING: Justin King's reputation as a shutdown CB f)lay have taken a hit last week when he matched up most of the game with Indiana's 6foot-7 receiver James Hardy, who had 14 catches for 142 yards and two TDs. "Everyone keeps talking about last week being a bad game," the Penn State junior said. "He got 10 (receptions) under eight yards (each). It's kind of fru strating to hear it was a bad game for me when I don't feel like that. u King had nine tackles and three pass breakups against Indiana - and · Penn State walked oil with a 36-31 win. "Justin King has played very, very well," coach Joe Paterno said. "You' ve got to realize he takes on the best guy the other team has got. He 's hung in there." · WANT A SWIG? Back in 1903, coach Fielding Yost wasn' t sure his Michigan Wolverines would be provided with fresh water on the road against Minnesota so he sent manager Tommy Roberts to buy a jug. When the Gophers rallied to tie the score late in the game, their fans rushed the field and the officials called the game. Michigan dido 't pack the jug and Yost later sent a letter to the Gophers, asking for it back. "He didn ' t call. He didn't text message," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr joked. "They said, 'If you want it, come and"get it - come and pl;,ty for it."' The Wolverines are 64-22-2 with it on the line, but they lost it two year' ago when Minnesota ended a 16-game winning streak at Michigan Stadium. "W hen you lose it , it 's a miserable experience," Carr said. "When yo u win it, you get to keep th at jug where it belongs. 1 mean, we bought that jug." • Carr alid hi s players, however, don ' t seem to be interested in dri nking from it. "No, I don' t think I would want to," Carr said with a grin . BOWL TENSION: Indiana has n' t gone to a bowl game since 1993 and is so close it can almost book a !light . The Hoosiers (5-3) need only one more win to extend their season. the same situation they were in last year heading into November when they finished with three losses. Over the last two years, Indi ana has had fiv e chances to win No. 6 and lost all fi ve times. " It almost sounds like a curse." QB Kellen Lewis said after Saturdav·s 3631 loss to Penn State. " I don 't feel like it 's making us any tighter or any worse ." HAWKEYES BOOST: Injury-riddled Iowa 's scuffling offen se ranks ahead of only Notre Dame an d Florida International in points per game. The Hawkeyes might get a boost if star TE Tony Moeaki returns after mi ssing fo ur games with a broken hand and a dislo· cated elbow. Moeaki has been cleared to practice; but his status for Saturday's home date with Michigan State is up in the air. Coach Kirk Ferentz isn 't holding hi s breath.

"The eighth and ninth holes were removed so we could begin construction of tile new driving range," said Roush. "We've had the idea of a driving range for some time now," added Roush. "We felt that it would really add a new dimension to our facility and give our clientele an exc~ llent opportunity to practice their golf swin& . whenever they want.' Accordin g to the elder Rou ~h . the new driving range will consist of 20 individual hitting platforms and several target greens to help golfers hone both di stance and accuracy. "The greens wi II be strategically positioned at various distances throughout the range so golfers will have a more real is tic target to aim at," he said . In addit.oli to being a practi ce area, Roush said the new range will also be the site of many equipment demonstrations offered by some of the golf industry's leading manufacturers. "Basically, these demo days will allow people to examine and test the newest golf equipment on the market," said Rou sh.

It's time to look ahead to next year. Sadler and Carpentier have meshed well as they prepare for the future. The Canadian driver is one of several so-called international stars to make the move to stock-car racing. Sadler, whose entire career has been in NASCAR, welcomes Carpentier's addition.

A bridge hand is strong 1f it has four-card support lor partner's major suit and a six- or seven-bagger on the side as a sweet source of tr1cks What do you think oJ the auction and opening lead? How shou ld declarer play 1n four hearts after West leads the diamond five? Many tournament players sitting East would make a takeout double ove r one diamond. This is theorelically unsound, but here would get Wesl to bid four spades, which is dawn one, a good sacrifice against a making four hearts. (Yes, k>ur hearts Is defealed if West leads a club, but that is difficult - impossible? -lo find.) After South responded one heart, West tollowed the "bid spades at all costs" pol· icy a little far, Now North had two rebid choices: four clubs (a splinter bid), or lour diamonds, which would describe 4-6 or 4·7 in hearts and diamonds. Because the dia· mends were not that strong, North showed his club shortage. East strange· ly did not bid four spades. I do not like to lead the f1rst sw1 b1d by the dummy. I, would have led a spade (not that it beats the contract if declarer works out what to do}. After !he diamond lead , declarer won with dummy's ace and led another diamond, EaSt winning and shifting Ia a club. South ruffed on the board, trumped a diamond high In his hand, drew trumps ending on the board, and ran the d1amonds.

Slaton vs. Rice: Battle for the best in Big East Georgetown, Louisvill~ favorites in Big East; :~ Hibbert top.player ·.~:• BY JOHN RABY ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGANTOWN , W.Va. - If Greg Schiano had been a flashier salesman. Steve Slaton might have been Ray Rice's backfield mate. While the Rutgers coach was trying to woo Slaton out of a high school 35 miles away in Levittown, Pa. , along came West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez to snatch Slaton away. "We recruited Steve Slaton. Obviously, it was not well enough," Schiano said. "I did svch a great job of swaying him that he went right down · to West Virginia and committed." Slaton and Rice blossomed on their own instead uf fighting for carries on the same team . The yardage could be piling up for the juniors on Saturday when No.6 West Virginia (6-1, 1- I Big East) visits No. 25 Rutgers (5-2, 2-1). Slaton, who got hi s first-ever start against Rutgers two years ago. will be going for his third straight 100-yard game against the Scarlet Knights. Rice already is Rutgers' career rushing leader and is looking to become the first player in school history to post three straight I ,000-yard seasons.
