The transition from middle school to high school can tre difficult. Meigs High School makes this transition easier by introducing this year's freshman class to the atmosphere the students will share for the next four years. Principal Dennis Eichinger said that out of a freshmen class of 144 students, more than 70 freshmen, parents and at least 20 teachers attended an orientation session held at the high school Tuesday night. "Studt!nts have less anxiety about coming.to school." he said. "The acclimation process can be very stressful and this orientation session makes things easier for the students." Eichinger said the orienlation session gave students a chance to interact with teachers and to understand some of I he academic demands that wi II be expected of them. Student interaction with parents and educators is stressed to foster successful academic achievement. "I think we make a difference by doing this," he said.

"The rain has slowed us down, but we should still be done by December," said Greg Huffman, project engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation. Huffman said 40 or more highway construction workers are trying to complete phase t.wo and phase three of the project. Phase two involves paving four miles of highway between Five Points and Morning Star near Racine, at a cost of $15.4 million. Phase three involves paving from Morning Star to Portland Road nearly five miles away, at a cost of $13 million. Phase one of the project, which is six and 1!2 miles, from the bridge to the junction of Coumy Road 36 (Portland Road) and SR 124 near Racine at a cost of $22.23 million has been completed. Once completed, the Ravenswood Connector will be designated US 33 and existing US 33 from the junction of the Connector mto Pomeroy will become part of SR 124. At least 78,000 cubic yards of concrete will make the nine mile connector a reality for Meigs County. Concrete is being used instead 'of asphalt because it lasts longer, according to highway workers.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) Ohio Republicans are promoting several plans to change the lines that shape congressional districts in the Cleveland and Akron area. A bill hasn't yet been introduced at the Ohio Statehouse, but Rep. Jim Trakas, a Cleveland-area Republican, says party officials in his area are upset with their congressional representation and want a change. "I don't think of it as redistricting. it's finishing the job that should have been done two years ago after the census," said Trakas, who also is chairman of the Cuyahoga County GOP Party. Ohio Democrats say the push for redistricting is a White House ploy to increase the Republican majority in the U.S. House, which currently includes 229 Republicans. 205 Democrats and one independent. "This is a blatant partisan stunt that would set a terrible precedent," said state Rep. Chris Redfern of Catawba Island in northern Ohio, the Democratic leader in the House.

Tom DeLay, the U.S. House GOP leader, and presidential adviser Karl Rove for pushing the plans. "It"s clear that this is all being driven from the White House," said U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Lorain. "There just is no public policy justification for it." White House spokesman Jim Morrell said the Bush administration is not involved in Ohio redistricting plans. He declined to say whether Rove is talking to Ohio GOP leaders about it. "This is a state matter that should be decided by state officials," Morrell said. Republicans controlled the redrawing of Ohio's congressional districts when the state's delegation shrunk from 19 to 18, but they needed Democrat sup~ort to get the plan passed m time to hold the primary election as scheduled. They also wanted appease Brown, who threatened to run agmnst Republican Gov. Bob Taft if his district was drastically changed. . . The resulting map ehmt· nated one Democratic lawmaker. Still, Republicans complained that the GOP didn't gain enough. . "Republican mayors tn northeast Ohio were livid when the districts came out," Trakas said. "So this is something that we've been frustrated with for a couple of years." The complaints center on Brown and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland, a Democratic presidential contender. Republicans want to mesh Brown's and Kucinich's districts into two different plot s one Democrat leaning and one Republican leaning.

Luken called the board the "strongest collection of talent ever assembled'" for city development efforts. George Schaefer, chief executive of Fifth Third. will lead the finance division of the board. Calvin Buford, partner at tile law ftrm Dinsmore & Shohl, will head the governance division and Margaret Buchanan, publisher of The Cincinnati Enquirer, will lead strategic planning and marketing. Boarrl members also included Cincinnati Reds owner Carl Lindner, James .Zimmerman; chairman of Federated Department Stores, and Cinergy's Corp. Chairman James Rogers. ' - ·~---· ·· , . ' ·~ "There are some grassroots movements out there to look at changing the lines," said Jason Mauk, a spokesman for the state Republican party. "We have had a lot of feedback from Republicans in northeast Ohio who are not happy." Tmkas' plan would combine downtown Cleveland and Akron into a barbellshaped distric! that would be Democrat leaning and form a second district around it of the suburbs that would be Republican leaning. "That would give the Democrats in this district the opportunity to be represented by a Democrat and the Republicans and ticket spliners the chance to have thetr own congressman,'" Trakas said.

Diane K. Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor GUEST VIEW A seat belt can scfe your ljfe . The use of safety belts saves liyes every day. The use of safety belts reduces injuries every day. These two irrefutable facts are witnessed every day by Ohio State Hi ghway Patrol troopers, ·emergency medical workers, and traffic safety experts throughout the United States, and are supported by statistics and the testimony of those saved. Choosing to wear a safety belt is a personal decision, but it is a dec ision that affects others. The affected may be those in the car with you as you are ejected in a side impact collision. Possibly. it will be other drivers approaching as you are slung to the passenger side o[ the car when you swerve to miss a deer on the roadway. More assuredly, it will be all of us who must endure higher insurance and medical costs as a result of your injuries or death in a motor vehicle crash. Absolutely it will be those who must live with your debilitating injuries or the painful memory of what could have been. Personal decisions in a civilized society cannot be made in a selfish vacuum. Ohio's safety belt compliance rate affects. all of us. Few people argue that crack cocaine possession and use, or tax evasion should be legal. These are choices which are available to be made, but as a society we agree that the cost is too high to allow these choices to be made. I rea li ze those are extreme examples, but I am using them to starkly illustrate that there are many choices available to us, but we should not have the freedom to make all of them. The cost of these choices far outweighs whatever benefit some people might tbink they are getting from making them. On the opposite side of the coin, other, more dangerous choice> are not prohibited; Riding a motorcycle is fairly dangerous and claims many lives. Mountain climbing, parachuting, and hang gliding are dangerous and kill quite a number of people too. So. what is the difference between the freedom .to engage in these activities and not wearing a safety belt? The answer 'leads to anot her question - what benefit is there to not wearing a safety belt·. Is it exciting? Is it an exercise? Is it an adventure'' Is it a learning experience? Is it a means to any end? No, there is absol utely no benefit at all to not wearing a safety belt. There is a price, however, and tbat price is not solely paid by the unbuckled person killed in a crash. To some extent, we all pay. Some pay dearly - ask someone who has lost a spouse or child to a traffic crash. Is it really right that such a petty freedom bear such a cost? No. The cost far outweighs the benefit. The motorist who does not buckle up is not some free spirit exercising his God-given right to liberty. That person is simply somebody who does not care to protect himself, his family, and the rest of us by performing the simple task of buckling a safety- belt. As we enter the third quarter of 2003, Ohio is considerably below the traffic number as compared to the same time last year. In order to continue this positive trend, it is imperative safety belts continue to be worn by drivers and passengers al ike. Still , 100 many of the fatalities on Ohio roads this year .could have been prevented if the victim simply would have .been wearing a safety belt at tbe time of the crash. Safety belts save li ves, reduce injuries, and save millions of dollars. On top of all that, safety belts can save the life of someone you know. or maybe even you. Make the safe ctJeice and buckle up. Dispatcher Rick Weaver Ga!lict-Meigs Post Oltio State Highway Patro./ TODAY IN HIS-TORY Today is Thursday, Aug. 21, the 233rd day of 2003.

PageA4 OPINION Thursday, August 21, 2003 Bush srnshion back again It's no mystery that signs of a recovering economy have boosted President Bush's latest job approval rating. Last week's Gallup Poll showed Bush's ratings at 60 percent, having crept up from July's high 50s. SimultwJeously. the Washington Post reported that Bush's numbers have "stabilized" from their decline over the summ~r. with 59 percent of those polled by the newspaper approving of Bush's ovemll job performance - a strong position for the president to be in less than five months before the official start of the 2004 election year. Contributing to this rise. as I've predicted in past columns, is pocketbook evidence that Americans are feelin g more confident about their own financial future. Fueled in part by the child tax credit refund checks that are going out to 25 million families, retail sales, according to th e Commerce Department, shot up by a much-higher-than-expected 1.4 percent in July, the biggest rise since March . I attribute .this to taxpayers spending the roughly $400 they are getting back for each child, which is ringing cash registers and boosting profits. Increased take-home pay of course. a result of the Bush income tax cuts - is also boosting consumer discretionary income. Increased purchasing power and higher retail sales can only help boost inventories Morton Kondracke (and factory orders). Even before this bump in the recent economic indicators. the Commerce Department reported that factory orders rose 1.7 percent in June. Eager to p'romote signs that hi s tax cuts are breathing new life into the economy, Bush seized on the growth numbers last week at a meeting with his top economic advisers at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. Not surprisingly. he said. his $ 1.7 trillion in total tax cuts are "going to have a very positive effect on economic growth and vitality." Unemployment is slightly above 6 percent. but the White House is forecasting that overall economic growth will rise to 3.7 percent by the end of the year - a level that Bush advisers believe will begin reducing the jobless rate. Throw in the five -monthlong modest bull rally on Wall Street, which has improved 40 I (k) worker accounts and other retirement stock portfolios, and it's easy to see why Bush 's approval scores are rising so early. in this election cycle. ARE And despite questions abo ut Bush's justification for goi ng to ww· in Iraq and the postwar problems, 56 percent of those surveyed by the Post approve of the way he has handled the Iraq situation. ,')ix in I0 say that the war was necessary and worth lighting. Nevertheless. Iraq remains a pohu·izing issue. The Post's. poll showed that about two out of three Democrats are unhappy with the way things are goi ng in Iraq, versus 86 percent of Republicans who approve. And whil e Bu sh (a nd through him. the Republican Party) seems to be ri.ding on a new high toward re-election. Democrats are not doing too well. The national news media frenzy over the Republicanled recall effort 10 remove California Gov. Gray Davis has al l but ecl ipsed the Democratic presidential primary campaign and blotted out its message. The nine-member pack of candidates continues to perform at_yarious party forums. but their traveling road show is getting little news attention - while Bush continues to make full use of his bully pulpit to promote the economic recovery and his war on terrorism. Democrats are as divided as ever over who should be their nominee, with some party leaders so turned off by the top contenders' attacks on one another that they are calling Former New York Gov. Mario Cuvmo complained bitterly last wee k that he heard nothing but incoherent ·'babble'' from his party's candidates and openly called on Gore to pick up the mantle of leadership again. Even Gore's form er campaign manager, Donna Brazile, suggested that -there was a huge presidential leadership vac uum in the party's top ranks. "There's a hunger in the Democratic Party fo r' a leader." she told the Boston Globe. adding that Gore was "head and shoulders above the rest." Meantime. Gore's former vice presidential running mate·. Connecti cut Sen. Joe Lieberman. has been lecturing his chief rivals at every debate that they cannot beat Bush ne xt year by being against or ambivalem about the war in Iraq, or by fa vorin g tax increases on the middle class. But at this juncture. former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean , an anti-war liberal who opposed goi ng to war 1o toppl e Saddam Hu ssein and wants to raise taxes hy repealing the tax cuts, was leading in both Iowa and New Hampshire. No wo nder Bush was smiling so much at last week's ne'Ws conference on the ccononw. No wonder his chief stn;tegi st Karl Rove never misses an opportunity tn say "go Dean ... HAVEN'T BEEN READY? Have we shrugged l?ff nature's touch? The room looks like a mad scientist's lair: Rows and ' rows of looming metal shelves crammed with clear jars of varying size s. each filled with a form aldehydelike liquid to preserve the long-dead creatures inside. Taped to- the end of each long shelf is a typewritten sign indicating the ran ge of reptiles ' and amphibians to be found in the row. "You see where we fit into the whole evolution of life on the planet ," notes Michelle Koo, ex pl aining why she spends her days among dead frogs and iguanas. "You get to see what' s possible . I'm always amazed at the kind of nove l characteri sti cs thai can occur to adapt a species to its environment." Koo is one of the herpctol ogists at the California Academy o f Science s in Golden Gate Park. She studies specimens th at ha ve been collected from around the world since the late- 19th century and stored here. She climbs a ladder and gingerly hauls down a jar the size of a small keg of beer. Inside, she say s. is a tuatora, a creature. she calls a living fossil. lt is a l arg~ lizard found in New Zealand that belongs to a group th at walked among the Joan Ryan dinosaurs. The tu atora. unlike nearl y all other reptiles. can tolerate extremely cold temperatures, perhaP.S a factor in its remarkabl e surviva!. The visit to the herpetol 'ogy department was inspired by my 13-year-old son, who wants lo be a herpetologist. He owns a boa constrictor, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko and a crotchety lizard any of us has ye t to identify. My son. however, too k one look at the rows of dead ani mals and spent the rest of th e visit in the hall , having concluded he didn 't want to be that kind of herpetologist. I. however. got to thinking abo ul adaptation. Ken Howell , the assi, tant curator at the Steinhart Aq.ua·ri um at the Academy, had earlier in the day shown my son and me a bug that emits a vinegar smell to ward off predators. He told us that the brilli an t colors of the coral reefs are pigments that protect the coral from ultraviolet rav s. The giant clams. stuck· in one place , grow al gae on their frilly tlesh. producing 80 to R5 percent of all the food they need. " Different habitats drive evolution." Howell said in explaining why half of all the species of fish can be found in freshwater. even thou gh fres hwater makes up onl y 1/ IOOth of I percem of the Earth's water. Lakes, ponds and rivers ha ve much more varied environment s than oceans. All thi s had me wo ndering about humans . We make, the environment adapt to us rather than the oth~r way around. If the cli mate is too hot, we tlip on the air-conditioner. Too cold, and we· fire up the heater. We tu rn deserts into lu sh landscapes. We fix what Mothe r Nature is too slow to fix. We have growth hormones if we' re trio short ; steroids if we're too weak; glasses to correct our vision: a: tificial hi p., and knees and hearts to replace worn -out joints. We have in-vitro fertili zation to enhance procreation, and contraception to th wart it. I wondered . if we have become like the creatures in _the jars, forever unchanged. As evolu tion imperceptibly smoothes the skull of a South American .salamander or thickens the hide o f an African rhino . · we seem 10 ha ve shru gged off nature 's deli cate tou ch <tnd taken matters into our own hand s. Won' t our artificial tinkerin g eventually interfere with the natural course ot· human evolution? "Being able to alter the envi ro nment and adar t throu gh beha vior don't rea lly run 'counter' to evolution ," savs David DeGusta at the Laboratory for Human Evoluti onary Studies at UC Berkel ey. "Those ab i Iit ies are just, themselves . evolu(ionary adaptations. " Greg N iemeycr, a professor of art. technology and culture at UC Berke ley. concurs. ·'Evolution is no longe r lim ited to nature," he say., " II has to include technological adaptati on." In other words , our techno!O'g ical adaptation is nat ure, driven by the pri mal inst incts shared by tuatoras and coral and every li vi ng thi iig : To endure and '· to pu sh the boundaries of possibility.

THEY MY D.C. \/ACATfON Thursday, August BOSTON (AP) Opponents of a proposed power-generating wind farm in Nantucket Sound were deal! a legal setback when a federal j udge ruled that tbe state had no authority to stop construction of a test tower currently operating there. Opponents of the proposed $700 million wind farm had til ed suit against the developers, claiming the company needed a state permit to build the 197-foot tower, which measures environmental conditions. The tower, which has been operat io nal since the spring, was built in federa l waters more than three miles from shore. Blll the plaintiffs argued that because the state was granted control over Na ntucket Sound fisheries more than two decades ago, a state permit was needed because of the potential harm to fisheries . Judge Joseph L. Tauro ruled that nothing in the law "s upports the proposition that regulating non-fishing activities simply for the protection of fish fall s under the Commonwealth 's jurisdiction." Plai ntiffs· attorney John W. Spillane said he would app!!al. The proposal ca lls for 130 wind turbines - each more than 420-feet ' hi gh - about five miles off Cape Cod. The turbines would ge nerate 420 megawatts of energy at peak times. Supporters say the fa rm would suppl y nearly threequarte rs of the electricity used on the cape and island s. Opponents, including U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Walter Cron kite and hi storian David McC ull ough. say it would damage wildlife, destroy views and harm the fis hi rtg and boating indu stries. Turbines i1long We st Virginia's windy and scenic highlands also h ~ve been a thorny issue. Current projects and proposed projects would place more than iOO wintl turbines on ridge tops within a ISmile radius of the West Virginia-Maryland border. ..

Based on eyew itness accounts, investigators are looking for a dark-colored, two-tone Ford F-150 extended cab pickup that was seen at two of three recent sniperstyle shootings in the area . Authorities said they were investigating a fourth possible shooting at a Go-Mart late Wednesday in Dunbar, about 6 miles from Charleston. Charle ston Police Lt.

Police The Dunbar Department is being advised by an interdepartmental task force set up 10 investi gate the sniper-like shootings in the Valley, said Kanawha Captain R.L. Gillespie. Charleston Police Chief Jerry Pauley said Thursday "there hasn 't been any phy sical evidence to support that there actual! y was a shot fired. " "We're still interviewing witnesses," Pauley said. "Some of them said they heard what they thought was a shot. One 16-year old girl told them that she thought she heard a bullet whi z pa~t her head. And there are other~ that didn' t hear anything." Police were investigating to see if a shot w·as fired or if witnesses beard a car backfire. Pauley said . "People are a little bit anxious anyway," Pauley added. "You might mistake it for a shot. .. Some witnesses also reported. seeing an older model black pickup truck in the area of the Dunbar GoMart around the time of the possible shooting, Pauley said. He added thai the darkcolored pickup truck police are searching for in their investigation of last week's fatal shootings is a newer model. Curtis Sullivan, 16, of South Charleston said he was parked nearby the store when .he heard at least one shoJ and saw peopl e in the parl<ing lot scaner. Sullivan drove the teen and two of her companions to a nearby grocery store for safety. The girl's mother, who did not want her name or her dau ghter's name used for safety reasons, said the shooting must be random beniUse her dau ghter and fri ends are not involved with drugs. A short time after that shooting was reported, a deputy pursued and then lost a pickup truck he saw speed·ing down U.S. Route 60, a dispatcher said.

SALISBURY, Md. (AP)Prorlucing poultry costs more Qn the eastern shore region of Oelaware, Maryland and Yirginia because of pricey gr,ain, high chicken mortality tp.tes and expensive electricit~, an industry insider says.

The Poultry Issues Action Team has met on a weekly basis with state officials, representatives from the environmental community and executives from Perdue Farms Inc ., Mountaire Farms Inc., Allen Family Foods and Tyson Foods Inc. The executives have said the loss of productive farmland on the lower Eastern Shore is a concern. Local farmers provide the corporations with grain at costs 60 to 70 cents cheaper a bushel than the variety transported from the Midwest. For the poultry companies, the cost of importing grain translated into an extra $5.6 million in expenditures in 200 I. State Assembly rejects · pollution- controlling legislation SACRAMENTO (AP) Legislation to impose California 's air pollution controls on farm equipment has been rejected by a state Assembly committee. · The bill is opposed by agriculture groups and is controversial in· the farm-belt area. The Environmental Protection Agency has ordered the state to end the longtime exemption for farms and California could lose $2 billion in federal transportation money and other businesses could face higher pollution fee s if the bill doesn't pass. said the bill's author. Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter. He said he would seek another vote next week. Florez said Wednesday that Democratic leaders didn't want the t>ill to reach the Assembly tloor because it might hurt the re-election prospects of Assemblywoman Nicole Parra, D-Hanford. who won her seat last year by only 266 votes. Florez and Parra represent the farm-belt area. "It's caught in the political quagmire of leadership," Florez said after the bill failed Wednesday on a 8-6 vote, live short of the bare majority needed to clear the 24-member Appropriations Committee. But Patricia Soto, a spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, DCulver . City. said Florez's statements were untrue. "The speaker left no instructions one way or the other on this bill." Parm said she has been "very public about not supporting the bill without amendments" and hadn't asked anyone to intervene for her. Crop insurance programs for livestock, organic farmers expanded WASHINGTON (AP) More farmers will be able to get federal crop insurance coverage to guard against losses from drought and lloods. The board of directors that oversees the Agriculture Department's crop insurance program agreed Monday to offer coverage to hog farmers in nine states - Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, ~ebra s ka, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. the program still covers farmers in Iowa. It protects pork proIIHcers from falling hog prices if the value for hogs arops below the selected covc!mge price. ' Sales of the insurance will $tart in November. Department officials said the board also voted to provide insurance to farmers who rai se livestock, grow organic tood and have small or medium-sized operations in Connecticut, Delaware. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire , New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. Farmers in some counties in West Virginia, New York and Maryland also will qualify. They can begin buying the insurance in December. In addiiion , hlueberry and pecan growers in certain areas will be able to buy insurance at the beginning of next year as part of a pilot project, the department said.

Fall webworms hatch from eggs laid by moths during late summer. The webworm encloses leaves and small branches in their ne sts. unlike the spring eastern tent caterpillars which crawl along limbs to feed on plant leaves from smaller overnight accommodating webs in the crotches of trees. Over 85 tree species are known host plants , in particular, pecan, walnut . American elm, hickory, ffllit trees, maples, persimmon and sweet gum. The basic life cycle of this pest is that it overwinters in its pupa (transitional) stage and appears in late May through July as an adult moth. The adults mate ;md the female lays several hundred eggs which hatch in a week's time. The webworm feeds for six weeks and then drop to the ground where they go into a dormancy stage called the pupa stage to overwinter.

OPEN Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday - Closed CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Fast-growing blazes in central Oregon are serving as a backdrop for President Bush's plan to thin forests of trees and underbrush - and as fuel for environmentalists who oppose the plan. Bush leaves his Texas ranch on Thursday bound for Deschutes National Forest, launching a two-day trip to the Pacific Northwest to polish his environmental record. After speaking at a $2,000-aticket fund-raiser in Portland, Bush is to visit Camp Sherman, Ore., near where hundreds of firefighters are battling the flames. Bush has been pushing his forest-thinning initiative for months - in southeastern Arizona last week, on the radio Saturday, in the Rose Garden in May. The House has passed the administration's proposal. A Senate version has cleared committee and could be addressed by the full chamber as early as next month. Environmental groups, including some expected to protest his visit, say the president's forest policy allows timber companies to log large trees in the interest of thinning. They also are wary of streamlined environmental studies and limited appeals on proposed work to cut trees and brush on as. many as 20 million acres of forest land. The Wilderness Society says the administration's proposal falls far short of pro· tecting communities near forests. The society argues that the Bush proposal focuses on federal lands while studies show that 85 percent of the land that surrounds coriimunities most at risk from wildfires is private, state or tribal land - not federal.

(AP) - Gov. Gray Davis, heading into a 10-day stretch that could determine the fate of his political career, is seeking inspiration from a tested campaign strategist: Bill Clinton. On Wednesday, the embattled governor . launched a series of town hall meetings like those the former president - now a key Davis adviser - used so effectively. Aides say showing the governor in an informal setting is just what voters want. For Davis, the planhad better work, and fast. National Democratic leaders are carefully monitoring reaction to the town hall meetings, having warned the twoterm governor he has until Labor Day to improve his standing in polls or face the prospect of party resources going elsewhere before the Oct. 7 recall election. While town hall meetings magnified Clinton's charis- · rna, it is the way they once helped AI Gore shed his wooden image that may serve as the more telling parallel. Davis similarly suffers from a stiff public persona, and aides hope a bit of spontaneity will endear him to the electorate. Several members of Davis' team - including campaign spokesman Peter Ragone and his fornier spokesman Roger Salazar - also worked with Gore, and they will be bringing their experience to the governor's campaign. Advisers acknowledge Davis will never work a room with Clintonesque ease, but they say research shows voters are willing to give Davis another chance if he tells his side' of the story. At Wednesday's meeting before 50 people in Hollywood, Davis derided Arnold Schwarzenegger's statement earlier in the day that he would avoid tax hikes while declining to specify where he would make budget cuts. "It's fun for Arnold to say no new taxes. You just ask him, 'Where are the cuts, Arnold?"' Davis said at Raleigh Studios. Some analysts contend Davis has little choice but to take a risk with town hall meetings because his poll ratings remain low and he is having a hard time raising money. "He's got to do anything to show that he's still alive in this campaign because a lot of people have written him off," said Raphael Sonenshein, a orofessor of political science at California State University, Fullerton. After raising more than $70 million for his re-election campaign just last year, few contributors are giving so easily tbis year. That appears to be one of the leadin~ factors prompting Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe to dispatch longtime Democratic strategist Ann Lewis to help beat the recall. Lewis, who served as Clinton's communications director during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, said she'll be limited "to helping out" Davis initially. But she has not ruled out a wider role, saying beating .the recall is of nationalnarty significance. "I'm not heading up anything - I'm going out to see how I can help," Lewis said. Thursday, August 21,2003 -FirstEnergy.had previous outages: blamed on outdated equipment · "There are a lot of smart and thoughtful people in California who've been doing this a long time." Democrats are united against the recall; but split on whether to back an alternative to Davis. Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante is the only prominent Democrat on the ballot. · A senior. party official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Davis has until shortly after Labor Day to shore up support. Otherwise, the official said. Democratic leaders will begin endorsing Bustamante. In other developments Wednesday, the election steamed toward an Oct. 7 vote after a federal judge rejected a delay over punchcard voting, while GOP candidates Schwarzenegger and former baseball commissioner Pete Ueberroth outlined their economic plans. Schwarzenegger announced his ideas after meeting with aides. saying he did not want to raise taxes and would identify .areas to cut after a special audit of the state's books. Ueberroth said he would cut state spending across the board by 5 percent and create a one-time tax amnesty that would bring in $6 billion. Meanwhile, a poll Thursday by the Public Policy Institute of California showed that 58 percent of likely voters would recall the · Democratic governor if the vote were held today, while 36 percent were opposed. If he's removed, 23 percent would replace him with Schwarzenegger and 18 percent with Bustamante. None of the other 133 candidates topped 5 percent. CLEVELAND (APl Before it came under international scrutiny for its role in last week's blackout, beleaguered utility FirstEnergy had staggered through a storm of recent technical glitches. . One saw a computer worm hobble the network monitoring its nuclear plant. Another doused lights on the 4th of July weekend on the Jersey Shore. In June, FirstEnergy was the subject of a Cleveland suburb's complaint s for power outages blamed on outdated equipment and trees_ too close to power lines - some of the same problems cited in last week's massive outages. Now, some experts say the trigger for last Thursday 's blackout may stem from FirstEnergy's borrowing a large amount of power from other Midwest utilities. The system may have collapsed when a FirstEnergy generating plant and several power transmission lines failed , snuffing lights from Detroit to Toronto to New York City, the experts said. Tom Kraynak, manager of operations and resources for the Canton. Ohio-based East Central Area Reliability Council, said that scenario is one among many that investigators are considering. The practice of one utility siphomng away electricity from another to meet demands · "could crash the system," Kraynak said. "It's possible if it's done with a big enough amount." In · Detroit, U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham met with his Canadian counterpart for the first time Wednesday to discuss their joint investigation of the blackout. Herb Dhaliwal, the minister of natural resources, said: "We are committed to · working to make sure we have some of those answers as quickly as possible."

A year and a half ago, Rove briefed dozens of political appointees at the Interior Department about diverting water in the Klamath to help farmers, a key group of GOP supporters. Environmentalists want a fuller explanation of the briefing, which the White House says was routine. The Interior Department increased the water supply to drought-stricken farmland several months later despite complaints from environmentalists who argued that diverting the water would kill threatened fish. After irrigation was restored in 2002, 33,000 chinook salmon died while swimming up the Klamath. The White House has said that Bush has set up a Cabinet-level group on the Klamath, which is committed to balancing the needs of farmers, people who need jobs, the quality of water and fish populations. homes and communities," said society spokesman Chris Mehl. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the president's event in Oregon will "highlight the importance of conservation and the importance of personal stew· ardship, while making sure that we protect jobs at the same time." "I think that the environment is too important to be made into a divisive partisan issue," he said Wednesday. There are political reasons for visiting the two states that Bush failed to win in 2000. The Bush campaign is eyeing Oregon, which the president lost to AI Gore by only about 6,700 votes. Poll numbers show Democrats with a 2-1 advantage over Bush when people were asked whom they trust to do the best job on the environment. Gore won Washington with 50.2 percent of the vote, compared with Bush's 44.6 percent. Bush 's schedule on Friday includes another fundraiser and a speech on saving salmon in neighboring Washington.

"I wanted to be loyal to myself, the franchise and the fans by : finishing my career with the Pacers and pursue our goal of winning a championship." Miller said in a statement. The Pacers did not release tenns of the deal with the unrestricted free agent, and a message left with Miller's agent, Am Tellem. wasn't returned. Tellem said last month that he hoped to complete a deal with the Pacers that would keep Miller in place for the rest of his career. Pacers coach Jsiah Thomas said in a telephone interview from Puerto Rico there was no timetable how much longer Miller would play. "I think Reggie will try and play as long as he possibly can," Thomas said. "Only he knows the answer to that." Miller's salary last seasc;>n was $12 million, and he was expected to take a hefty pay cut to keep the Pacers under the luxury tax threshold. The 37-year-old Miller, who holds the NBA's record for most 3-pointers. bruised his right ankle bone during an exhibition game before the World Championships last summer. The injury bothered him all season and he averaged only 12.6 points. He's also coming off the worst playoff series of his 16-year career, averaging 9.2 points on 28 percent shooting in a sixgame loss to Boston. Miller had ankle surgery on May 19 and is expected to make a complete recovery. "I think he feels rejuvenated," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said Wednesday. "He got the ankle fixed and he feels good about that." Miller is the Pacers' all-time leader in nine categories. His 23,505 career points are easily the most by any player in Pacers history. (Rik Smits is second with 12,871.) Thomas. who spent his entire career with the Detroit Pistons, appreciated Miller's commitment to one team. "Anytime you have an opportunity to finish your career in one place and be part of an organization you help get off the ground is great," Thomas said. f 178 t58 Larobi's Pizza Tom's Auto Smith Buick t43 G&M Fuel t42 saturdey'• Game• Sunday'• O.mea Chicago at MetroStars, 4 p.m .

The ruling Wednesday by the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. out of · Ci n~ inna ti . overturned a federal judge's decision in July that denied a request by the NCAA to delay a decision overturning the rule. The NCAA was pleased with the decision. "This decision provides stability until the Sixth Circuit ultimately rules on the appeal," said NCAA general counsel Elsa Cole. The suit was brought by Cincinnatibased Worldwide Basketball, Sports Tours Inc., Dorna Sports Promotions and the Gazelle Group. Those groups have organized or promoted such preseason tournaments as the Las Vegas Class ic, the San Juan Shootout. the Coaches vs. Cancer evept and the National Association of Basketball Coaches Classic. They said that if high-profile teams such as Duke. Kansas and Arizona can play in only two such events in a four-year period, spots in tournaments must be filled by teams that at( ract less fan .interest. Other exempt events include the Great Alaska Shootout, Maui Invitational and Preseason NIT The "two in four rule" forced II of 28 exempt tournaments to be canceled last season because there wasn' t an appropriate mix of teams. Each Division I school is limited to ' \ltribune -·Sentinel - l\egister CLASSIFJED 28 regular-season games. A team can appear in more games by playmg 111 exempt tournaments.

Underwood and graduated wide-receiver Chris Vance. Tressel said Wednesday that he knew of no inquiries by the NCAA about Gamble, Underwood or Vance. McGill went to The New York Times with her concerns and a story based on her accusations was published in July. She declined to meet with the Ohio State panel formed to investigate charges in the article. In the article, Pierce said of Claret!, ''I don't think, at one point in the class, he was trying. When I started working more closely with Maurice, and paying more attention to him. he started to learn more:· Clarett could not be reached for comment Wednesday because he has an unlisted phone number.. Ohio State spokeswoman Elizabeth Conlisk said the university was conducting the '"most thorough investigation possible. We established a committee of highly regmded and ethical faculty expressly for that purpose." The NCAA also is investigating Clarett \ finances. including a police report he tiled claiming stereo equipment, ,.a,h. clothing and COs valued at more than $ 10.000 were stolen from a car he had on loan from a local dealership. Clarett later admitted he had exaggerated the value of what was stolen. The so phomore-to-be from Youngstown has apologized for embarrassing Ohio State. McGill said she was hoping her role in the controversy was over. although the NCAAtold her they would remain in contact with her. · 'Tm tired of the story," she said. Associated Press - LEXINGTON. Ky. - A former Ohio l>tate teaching assistant who charged that ltar tailback Maurice Clarett received preferential academic treatment met Wednesday for more than two hours with NCAA officials and a university committee. . "They were concerned about test scores, ubout cheating in the classroom, things like ihat," said Norma C. McGill, a teaching l!ssistant in Clarett's African-American and /'l.frican Studies class last fall. During the meeting. McGill was shown test scores from the class, which she said had been altered since she left the school. , The meeting took place at a downtown hotel in Lexington, McGill's hometown, where she returned after leaving Ohio State tluring the week of final exams last fall. Later in the day, coach Jim Tressel said Claret! probably wouldn't play in the season opener Aug. 30 against Washington because he hadn't been practicing with the team . Clarett. considered by many to be an early candidate for the Heisman Troph~, has been held out of all of Ohio States team functions. including 'preseason practices. until questions about his eligibility are resolved. He has appeared at several Ohio State practices. running sprints by himself or watching from the sidelines. "I would doubt it.'' Tressel said after a kicking scrimmage when asked if Clarett would be in the opening-game lineup. '"We· ve had what, 19 or 20 practices? There will be some guys, along with Maurice, perhaps we may not have" available for the opener. "I hope it will heat up," McGill said of the investigation.

McGill and the academics at OSU would be investigated, that a panel would be set up and they would see what departments are actually assisting students and student-athletes in getting their grades, not just the AfricanAmerican Studies Department." Claret! set Ohio State freshman records with I ,237 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns last year as Ohio State went 14-0 and won its ftrst national championship in 34 years. Mark Jones, the NCAA's director of enforcement, did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday. Jones, 'two ,other NCAA officials. members of Ohio State's investigative panel and a university lawyer met with McGill. McGill has charged that Clarett walked out of a midterm exam last fall and ended up passing the entry-level course after professor Paulette Pierce provided him with an oral exam. McGill said that Clareu was the only person of the more than 90 students taking the class who received an oral exam.

Cowher. unhappy not only with his team's pl ay in the preseason but also with how it is practicing, also benched tight end Mark Bruener and said cornerback Deshea Townsend will play more with the startin g defense. Amos Zereoue. who replaced an injured Bett is at the end of each of the last two seasons. will start the Sept. 7 opener against Baltimore. Jay Riemersma. signed away from the Bills during the offseason, replaces Bruener and either Chad Scott or Dewayne Washington will take otf some series to accommodate Townsend's increased play ing time. Cowher announced the mo ves now because he doesn' t want any di stractions the week of the opener. "We want the focus to be on B•tltimore and not on who's playing for us:· Cowher said. "That' s the reason why l made the decision . so there's no more speculat ion." Benis. the second-leading ru sher in Steelers· history to Franco Harris and seemingly a ce11ain Pro Football Hall of Famer. did not a'cept the news well. Cowher said. "He 's disappointed but he acce pted it.'' said Cowher. who called the mo ve a gut deci sion by him. "I don ' tthink one player has outperformed the other player:· Bettis was una vailable for comment Wednesday as the Steelers wrapped up training camp. The moves came as the Steel ers wind up perhaps the worst of their 12 training camps under Cowher. Not only are they 0-2 going into Thursday night's exhibition game against the Cowboys. their training camp was con stantl y disrupted by injurie s. rain , lightning and field problems. Cowher was so unhappy with the li nal full -scale prauice of camp Tuesday night that he called off the show ruokies traditionally perform for veterans at the end of camp. "I didn 't feel like we're focu sed on this game.'' Cowl1er said . today! Senior Discount· on your home delivered 'subscription!

Juan Castro had an RBI double for the Reds, who hadn't won in Phoenix since May 7, 2001. The loss kept the Diamondbacks from making up ground on Philadelphia in the National League wild-card race. They remained 3 1/2 games behind the Phillies, who lost to Milwaukee 10-1, with their fifth loss in seven games. Harang (3-0) remained perfect as a starter for the Reds, who acquired him anc;l two other pitchers from OakJand for outfielder Jose Guillen on July 30. _The right-hander, who improved to 43 in his career, held the Diamondbacks to four hits and no walks in seven scoreless innings. Last Thursday, he beat Arizona 3-2 in Cincinnati. Harang pitched a 1-~-3 first innin~. allowed a leadoff smgle to LUis Gonzalez in the second and then retired I r in a row before Junior Spivey singled with two outs in the fifth . Spivey also stole second, but Harang got Chad Moeller, the next batter, on a grounder. Ryan Wagner gave up a hit in the eighth and Chris Reitsma gave up a double to Alex Citnron in the ninth to complete the six-hitter. Reitsma struck out Shea Hillenbrand · with runners on first and third for his thlt'd save in eight chances. ·'-. Craig Counsell and Raul Mondesi smgled in the sixth and seventh, respectively, but both attempts to rally ended when the Reds turned double plays. Johnson (3-6) lasted six innings, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk, and striking out six. He fell to 2-4 in seven starts since !ipending 12 weeks on the disabled list after right-knee surgery. The Reds could have scored another ru n in the second inning but Kelly Stinnett fell rounding third. Stinnett hit a one-out double off the center-lield wall and should have scored nn Ruben Mateo's bloop single tl18t dropped in front of Luis Gonzalez in left. But Stinnett, a former Diamondback who used to catch Johnson instead of hit against him, tripped after rounding third and was out Associated Press Cincinnati Reds second baseman D'Angelo Jimenez, bottom, looks to first after tag. ging out Arizona Diamondbacks runner Raul Mondesi, top, on a double play in the seventh inning Wednesday. (AP) on a 7-2-5 play. Mateo, who took second on the putout, scored on Castro's double. Freel, recalled from Triple-A Louisville before the game as the roster replacement for injured third baseman Brandon Larson, made it 2-0 in the third when he lined a one-out solo shot into the left field seats. It came in Freel's 66th at-bat, 44th in four stints with the Reds this year. The 27·year-old rookie began his career in the Toronto organization and saw all his previous big league action in 200 I. Mondesi was ejected in the ninth after he struck out and threw a bat in the direction of homeplate umpire Mike DiMuro from the dugout. Twins continue rise in Central BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND - Enraged by the umpire's safe call, Tim Laker got himself thrown out. The Indians catcher then tossed his mask, glove, the ball and a stool. For whatever reason, the Minnesota Twins have been seeing a lot of that lately. They've also done some catching up. The Twins slid closer to the top of the AL Central when Torii Hunter scored on a sacrifice fly that barely reached the outfield grass in the seventh inning Wednesday night, lifting Minnesota to a 4-3 win over Cleveland. Hunter 's daring dash helped the Twins move within one-half game of firstplace Chicago and Kansas City. ·The Royals open a four-game series in Minnesota on ·Thursday against the defending division champions, who haven't been this close since July I. "This is serious," Hunter said. "I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood, I'm on you." Hunter attack's on home plate in the seventh came after he and A.J. Pierzynski - singled off Brian Anderson (9- LO) and Dustan Mohr sacrificed. With Cleveland's infield playing in, Cristian Guzman hit a popup to the shortstop side of second that was caught on the run by John McDonald. Hunter said . he saw the second baseman stumble and broke for the plate. "I thought I would take a chance," Hunter said. J us," Shapiro said. "But I'm not going to sit here and sulk about it." Shapiro is going to Buffalo on Thursday to get a firsthand look at Phillips' progress. "He has to turn it around," Shapiro said. "The guy is going to have to produce." • CLOSING DOOR ON BAEZ?: Shapiro hasn't given up on Danys Baez being a closer some day, but he doesn't see the right-hander ever returning to the starting rotation. "Not going to happen," Shapiro said of the chances of Baey. getting out of the bullpen. Baez was a starter for much of last season. The Indians tried to make him their closer for 2003 before giving the job to David Riske last week. Baez has blown seven saves and many of his outings have been adventures as he tried to get three outs . With Bob Wickman returning from elbow surgery next year, Baez probably will return to his role as a set-up man, but at what price? The Indians hold a $5 million club option on Baez, who signed a $14.5 million deal with the club in 1999. Shapiro said the pitcher is iii the team's budget for 2004, but does that mean he's in the Indians' plans? Shapiro wouldn't admit the club overpaid for Baez, who defected from Cuba just before signing with Cleveland. He said the Indians' one mistake was thinking Baez would make it to the majors more quickly. "The only thing that has been disappointing is that our scouts thought he would be here in a half a year, and not a year and a half," he said. Shapiro also said that if Riske proves to be the team's best closer, he won't be shifted from that role. "If Riske takes over the job, then it's his job," he said. BY TOM WITHRS McDonald seemed to be caught by surprise, and took several steps before getting off his throw, which was high and allowed Hunter to avoid the tag. Laker didn ' t think so. After blocked the plate perfectly with his right leg, he raced back and tagged Hunter despite plate umpire Scott Nelson's call on the close play. "I thought he was out," Laker said. "Even after watching the replay, I thought he was out. I didn' t get him as he went by, but r don't think he touched the plate." Laker was_ immediately ejected for arguing, and as he was being escorted back to the dugout, he threw his stuff toward Nelson before grabbing a bat boy's stool and flinging it, too. "I was just so mad at that point," Laker said. It was the second time on Minnesota' s trip that an opposing catcher went ballistic - also on a play involving Hunter. In Kansas City, Royals catcher Mike DiFelice tossed coolers and a trash can on the field . "That's the second catcher we've gotten launched who· throw stuff on the field," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I think he was safe, but I'm biased. It was a heck of a play." McDonald said Hunter didn't surprise him by tagging up. "I was only surprised I didn't make a better thro\v," he said. Brad Radke (9-10) recovered after giving up three runs and four hits in the first to pitch seven solid innings. J .C. Romero and LaTroy Hawkins got through the eighth and Eddie Guardado _____________ __ worked the ninth for hi s 28th save. Ryan Ludwick homered for the Indians. Anderson has been drawing interest from playoff contenders before the Aug. 31 trading deadline, and the left-bander deserved better than another loss. He allowed four runs one earned - and five hits in seven innings. Opponents have scored a major leagueleading 27 unearned runs . against him. . "He should have had a shutout," Laker said. "We let more than a few get away from us." CLEVELAND Brandon Phillips· rising star appears to have lost some of its luster with the Cleveland Indians. Phillips, who began the season as the Indians' starting second baseman before being demoted at the All-Star break, has continued to struggle at Class Triple-A Buffalo. He entered Wednesday night batting .169 (21-for124) in 36 games with the Bisons. · Indians general mana~er Mark Shapiro remams confident Phillips will tum himself around, but he said Wednesday for the first time that he's not sure if the 22-year-old will leave spring training next year on Cleveland's roste.r. "We can't be certain he'll start the season here," Shapiro said before the Indians played the Minnesota Twins . "We're not ~oing to hand him the job.' In essence, that's what the Indians did before this season when they said with two weeks left in spring training that Phillips would be their starter at second. Phillips beat out John McDonald for the starting job and appeared poised to have a solid first year in the big leagues. But almost from opening day, he struggled at the plate and gave the Indians little choice but to send him down to work on his swing. Shapiro said Phillips also is struggling to deal with things mentally. "It's a guy dealing with failure for the first time," Shapiro said. ''He hasn't struggled much in his life. The guy is going to be fine. The talent is real. But adjustments have to be mad~ .' ' He said there is continuing debate on whether the Indians waited too long before sending Phillips to the minors. But Shapiro insists the club was correct in thinkin~ he was ready for the maJors.
