That work ethic has also instilled a deep-seated confidence in the Eastern team collectively and individually. "These kids aren't cocky, but they are very confident in their abilities," Caldwell said. "They don't go and strut around, but they know what kind of club they are. They honestly do believe that they can play with anyone around. And when they want to play, I believe they can, also."

REED SENTINEL NEWS STAFF POMEROY - It has been 10 years in the works, but Tuesday's opening of bids for the first of three phases of the Ravenswood Connector project marks a milestone for local devel- · opment leaders. Pomeroy attorney Steven L. Story recalls that it will be 10 years ago next month that he and three other members of the fledgling Meigs County Chamber of Commerce visited ODOT's th~n­ Deputy Director, John Dowler, to inquire about the department's progress on constructing the longawaited construction project. Story, who chairs the Southeastern Ohio Regional Council's U.S. Route 33 Highway Committee, has been an active lobbyist for local highway projects, and has enlisted the support of officials from other counties along the "Capital Corridor'.' the highway which will ultimately link Columbus and Charleston, WVa. Story, along with Meigs County's first economic development director, Elizabeth Schaad, and Lenny Eliasdn, then owner of WMPO Radio and president of the chamber of commerce, niet with ODOT's District 10 Deputy Director John Dowler · early in the Voinovich administration, only to find out that plans for the project, which had been discussed for 15 years, were vi'rtually non-existent. "At the time we became involved, we had heard promises for several years that construction would begin soon," 1story said, "but it turned out that the environmental study was so old that it coullin't be used, and that there were no concrete plans for construction." "Essentially, 'Ravenswood Connector' was little more than the name cif a long-forgotten project," he added. The Athens-to-Darwin project, the first phase of which is scheduled to sell later this year, had also languished on ODOT's back burner for years·.

COLUMBUS (AP) -A Senate committee on Tuesday approved Gov. Bob Taft's plan to help low-income Ohioans pay their winter heating bills under legislation that also allows communities to buy natural gas in bulk. The unanimous vote by the Senate Ways & Means Committee came after majority Republicans accepted a Democratic amendment that gives customers the chance to pay a past-due balance attached to a single bill. . The bill now goes to the full Senate, which is expected to consider it on Wednesday. The centerpiece of the bill is Taft's Project THAW, or Temporary Heating Assistance for · Warmth. It would allow families making up to 200 percent of the federa l poverty level to apply for a one-time payment to help pay their energy bills. A family of four with an Income of about $37,000 or less would qualify. The plan would pay for half of the family's energy bill, up to $250. The state is using $20 million from its federal welfare surplus, and the bill would provide another $20 million in state money because the federal money can only go to families. Taft introduced the proposal . in his State of the State speech. The Democrats' amendment replaced language that limited the help to a single month's bill. The program 'Ylll allow customers behmd on their gas bill to collect half of the overall amount, as long as the total is on one bill. Democrats on the committee complained last week that Republicans were working against the intent of the bill. The Department ofJob and Fan1ily Services, which is administering the Project THAW program, already counts those past-due payments as eligible for state aid. "We kept to the way the program was promoted. That's all we were saying: honor what you said;' said Sen. Greg DiDonato, a New Philadelphia Democrat and the amendment's sponsor. The committee also appropriated another $20 million in federal money for the Home Energy Assistance Program, a federal energy aid plan. It will allow more low-income Ohioans to receive the federal ·help.

Ohio's sex offense law, passed in the 1970s, is good legislation but outdated, said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jim Hughes, a Columbus Republican.

The bill is aimed mainly at child pornography, said Hughes , a former Franklin County prosecutor. In Ohio's sex offense law, the word "material" includes books, magazines, newspapers, prints, pictures, images, motion picture films and phonographic records. The proposed law would add images appearing on a computer monitor, TV screen or liquid crystal display, any image transmitted through the Internet, and any image recorded on a computer hard drive or floppy disk. The Motion Picture Association of America is concerned that the bill could unintentionally outlaw images on the Internet that are constitutionally protected for adults.

Chief Justice Thomas M'Oyer wants a commission of lawmaker!;iabor and business leaders , civic groups, lawyers and a governor's representative to recon1mend a new . method- by early next year. Ohio elects all of its judges, from municipal to Supreme Court, and Ohio voters have twice rejected a proposal to change that system. Moyer has long argued that Ohio should move to a different system - such as voting whether to retain an appointed judge or electing 1 judges to a single, long term - to help take politics out of the judicial system. "During the past three months, I have discussed with a number ofleaders the need for change," Moyer said during his annual State of the Judiciary address Tuesday. "I am very encouraged." He said he found a willingness to discuss the issue among labor leaders, political parties, Gov. Bob Taft and top lawmakers. After his speech, Moyer said the change should stare first with the selection of Ohio's seven Supreme Court justices. "That's where the big money 1S spent; and that's where all the so-called big important issues finally arrive, with all of the interest groups that are interested in those issues, all having poured money into those campaigns," said Moyer; elected chief justice in 1986. David Leland, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, said he's willing ~o discuss the issue but still beliews it's better to elect judges. "It is clear from the U.S. Supre1\!e Court's partisan selection of Bush as president that you cannot take politics out of the judiciary," Leland said in a statement. · Moyer also said he supports pending legislation that would clarify when contributors to political ca~paigns must be identified. • .. - Push Bids from Page AI ing the Lancaster Bypass project, which was awarded yesterday as well.

Tha.t could include another interest rate cut before the Fed'~ next meeting in two months. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues slashed a key interest rate again Tutsday, the third half-point reduction this year, in an effort to keep the ailing economy afloat. In doing so, the Fed worried about "substantial risks" o(prolonged economic weakness. Specifically i~ said production cuts . by manufacturers could continue for some rin1e and that weak economies around the world could become a further drag on U.S. growth. Economists believe the remarks hinted at the possibility of a fourth interest rate cut before the Fed's next scheduled meeting May 15, perhaps in a few weekS. "The statement not only left the door open for another intermeeting rate cut, it almost seemed to anticipate the need for one," said David Orr, chief economist at First Union. Mark Zandi, chief economist with Economy.com, believes the economy needs another booster shot before May. "There's no way they can wait eight weeks to move," he said. "I fully anticipate an intermeeting ra.te cut." Fed policy-makers pledged to keep a close eye on the economy between now and then.

COMMUNITY NEWS & NOTES We'll need it until balanced energy policy is in place President Bush's assertion that an energy crisis will be worse than we had in the. 1970s looms is being dismissed lby some folks as a kneejerk reaction to California's power woes, and worse, political grandstanding for the administration's agenda. There may be some truth behind what the scoffers are say· ing, but the basic idea expressed by the president shouldn't be laughed off so easily. We have seen indications of electricity shortages in the region as each summer gets progressively warmer, and while gas prices have leveled off, OPEC's decision 10 cut production by a ~·Ilion barrels or so doesn't bode well for the motoring public In t e Ohio Valley, we have come to believe we're secure from t e effects of the energy crunch, except maybe for high gas prices and the even higher cost of heating this winter. Problem is, what happens around the country tends to have a ripple effect. The ripple may be pretty muted by the time it gets to us, but its influence still makes itself known. The president wasn't being an alarmist for the sake of scaring us, but rather issued a warning that until we can get some kind of energy policy in effect, we can expect difficulties with ·the sourte of what moves the economy and our lives. Developing that policy will be a time-consuming process. Don't look for it to happen this week. In the interim, portions of the U.S. with high energy demands have to learn how 10 cope with shortages. That's a little hard to tell Californians now as warm weather returns, but some patience on their part will be necessary if they're to survive the present crisis. There are numerous items on the administration's domestic agenda that need addressed,.but our faltering economy means we have to look at one of the root causes behind the decline, and that's the increasing cost of energy. It's not coincidental that the economy started going sour after gas prices spiked last June. So heed what George W. is telling us. Forewarned is forearmed, and the better prepared we are, the less rude of a shock may be in store. Bend Old friend seeks larger relationship with married woman The Daily Sentinel Charles W.

Howeve< their rhetoric may disguise it, it boil~ down to this: If you are black, we will give you benefits not accorded to any other minority. They will include government subsidies (such as the hideously misconceived Aid to Families With Dependent Children, which all but destroyed the black family) and thinly disguised quotas to assure black participation in all sorts of social enterprises beyond anything justifiable on grounds of merit (at the price of excluding more highly qualified members of other groups). Upward of 90 percent ofillack voters, it is clear, have accepted the Democrats' Faustian bargain - including, sadly. even the great majority of successful blacks. In vain can the Republican party- or the small minority of blacks who reject the bargain - protest that black Am~jcans have sold themselves back into slavery (in this case in the form of the Democratic party), trading their political and economic freedom for the tawdry com· forts · of a disguised ,iole. For presiding over this arrangement is an elite bloc of black Democratic politicians whose job is to keep it in force, while of course feathering their own nests at a far higher level of luxury. Say what you will about the Democratic policy, it is at least a policy. Perhaps it is the price our country must pay in perpetuity for the great wrong committed three centuries ago. But I am not sorry I belong to a parry that asks more of America's blacks than that.

During the hearing Tuesday, Cmdr. Scott Waddle was by rums apologetic and defensive. "As commanding officer, I am solely responsible for this truly tragic accident, and for the rest of my life I will live with the horrible consequences of my decisions and accions that resulted in the loss of the Ehime Maru ," he said. But he also told the admirals:" ! was trying my best to do the job that I was assigned." Waddle's sworn 'testimony came as a surprist:. His attorney had indiCated he wouldn't testify without immunity to p1n- teet him against furure charges based solely on what he said. The Navy rejected the request. Waddle's attorney on Tuesday implored the three admirals presiding over the hearing not to recommend court-martial for Waddle, one of three officers under investigation in the deadly crash. "Commander Waddle exercised · his judgment, and he did his level best;' attorney Charles Gittins said. "He may have fallen short on that day, but it wasn't crim- . a!". 111 Lt. C mdr. Brent Filbert, represennng Lt. j .g. Michael Coen, the officer of the deck, told the co urt of inquiry that Wa~dle had "rushed himself and rushed his crew." The -admirals were expected to take three weeks to recommend possible punishment for Waddle, Coen and the submarine's execu tive officer, Lt: Cmdr. Gerald Pfeifer. The head of the U.S. Pacifi c Fleet, Adm. Thomas Fargo, will have 30 days to decide what punishment, if any, the officers should face. Nine people died when the Greeneville crashed into the Ehime Maru while the sub crew was demonstrating a rapid-surfacing drill for a group of civilians. -"The inquiry is over, but we cannot put this behind us unless Navy officials make clear the causes and responsibility for the accident;' said Ryosuke Terata, whose 17year-old son was among the victims.

(AP) Right-hander Seth Etherton will be out for four to six months fpllowing arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove bone spurs from his shoulder and repair a torn labrum. .Etherton, 2-;1, carne to the Reds in a Dec. 10 trade that sent infielder Wilrny Caceres to the Anaheim Angels. He was one of several candidates for the starting rotation, but weakness in his right shoulder sidelined him early in spring training. He appeared in only two games, faced 10 batters and gave up five hits, an indication something was wrong. Dr. Timothy Kremchek performed the surgery in Cincinnati. Etherton planned to return to Sarasota on Wednesday to start rehabilitation. Etherton went 5-1 with a 5.52 ERA in 11 starts as a rookie last year until tendinitis in hinight shoulder forced him to finish the season on the disabled list. Reds general manager Jim Bowden said he had no qualms about making the trade for Etherton, even if he had shoulder problems. Bowden compared Etherton. to closer Danny qraves, who underwent shoulder surgery about two months after he carne to the Reds in the July 1997 trade that sent starter John Smiley to Cleveland. "Grave& was probably hurt when we got him; Etherton was ptobably hurt when we got him," Bowden said. "But . hopefully, Etherto)l will make the same type of comeback that Danny did."

If you're looking for basketball pedigree in a family, look no further than the Simpson family, Eastern assistant coarh Tim and sons Matt and Alex, who have enjoyed their fair share of success over the years. This is the second trip to the OHSM state tournament for the Simpson family, who made an appearance in 1993 when the elder Simpson was an assistant to Joe Garrett at Belpre and oldest son Jim was a player for the Golden Eagles. Eastern's victory in the regionals last week gave the Simpson family its fourth regional appearance and second regional title. The elder Simpson saw action in a regional tournament himself while in high school at Canal Winchester, but his passion for the game was kindled much earlier. "When I was younger, in the eighth grade, my father was a bus driver in the school system, and the head basketball coach, Coach Miller, gave dad and I two tickets to go up and watch the state tour- nament at St. John Arena," Simpson said. "That was the first time I'd ever been to a. state basketball tournament, and we sat clear in the top of St. John's Arena. I grew up watching John Havlecek, Jerry Lucas, Dobby Knight and a lot of great players at Ohio State. I was just in awe sitting there where those great players had played.

(AP) -The Orlando Sentinel will get a chance to air its concerns that a NASCAR medical expert viewed Dale Earnhardt autopsy photos while the newspaper didn't get the same chance. "Do you think we would have been as accommodating had we known that NASCAR had an opportunity for its own expert to .review them?" Sentinel attorney David Bralow asked Tuesday. "As far as I'm concerned, when something is private, it's private." The Sentinel tried to have its medical expert review the images, but a deal reached last week with Earnhardt's widow limits access to the photos, which are public records under Florida law. lawyers for the Sentinel and Mrs. Earnhardt have scheduled a mediation session for Thursday in Daytona Beach to discuss the latest developments. Under the agreement, an independent medical expert will look at the photos and then submit a report to the newspaper and the Earnhardt family on the cause of death and an explanation of cert>in head injuries. The photos then will be permanently sealed, as requested by Teresa Earnhardt Thom Rumberger, an . Earnhardt attorney, said the Sentinel should think twice before trying to get out of the agreement, which he added couldn't be changed . "As far as I'ni con cerned, the Sentinel has pledged their honor, their faith and their fortunes to th•t agreement;' Rumberger said. The meeting will take place Thursday before mediator John Upchurch.

After his playing days were ove r, Simpso n kept close to the game as a coach, and in 1993, his dream of reaching a sta te tournament was realized. "It took 25 years to get there," Sim~son .aid. " My older son, Jim, at that time , was a freshman on that tean1, and Matt and Alex were ball boys. The foll owing season in '94, we went to the regional . and lost to Bishop Hartley, who had a very good player, Esteban Weaver, playing at that time." And it's no fluke that the Simpson family has achieved this level of success, as dad Tim states . . "It's jusi kind of how things go," Simpson added. "My sons have all been gym rats, and my older son played in the regional and I got a chance to play in the regional, and now Matt and Alex have both been to a regional and won the regional championship and have the chance to play in the state semifinals. "One of the boys over >t Wahama asked me 'why IS Matt so good?" Simpson said. "Th e answer .1s: . h' e s spent a lot time in the gym. All my boys have spent hours in the gym.

It's just been in their blood." Conversely, the athletic pedigree on Mrs. Simpson's side of the family is strictly gridiron. Cathy Simpson's father was a football player at the Univer1ity of Pittsburgh and later played a few years in the NFL. "A lot of her uncles have been football players . and coaches," Simpson said. " Her dad, when they played Notre Dame at South Bend, he moved to fullback and he ran it in for a touchdown and kicked a field goal to beat Notre Dame at South Bend. "Sports has been a real important part of our family. And my wife has been really great. She's almost lik~ a widow for about six months during the season while we're out playing ball." Matt Simpson got his first taste of big time basketball on the state level when Belpre played Coldwater in the state semifinals in 1993, serving as a towel boy and getting the chance to sit right underneath the basket at St. John Arena. "I can't help but think that that didn~t help motivate Matt to work hard and get to this point," said the older Simpson. "And . we have a really great micelus of players around who have helped build this team." The younger Simpson agreed whole-heartedly with ,. _ ~ ~-· . ... . . ~· - .... ~---... . ...
