The deadline for repiy briefs in · the proceedmg was due on Feb. 8 though intervenor groups the Natural Resources Defense Ohio Council, Environmental Council and Sierra Club filed a reply brief for Feb. 11, three days past the deadline. Shana .Eiselstein of the PUCO said it wasn't clear why the motion was filed past the dead Iine or if it would be accepted, though that would be up to the adll]inistrative law judges in the case. These same administrative law judges which ran the hearing will present the OPSB with the materials it will require to make its decision. The OPSB is responsible for reviewing and approving plans for the construction of new energy facilities in Ohio. Before any company can l;>uild a major utility facility like a new power plant, or an electric transmission line', or a gas transmission pipeline, the OPSB is supposed to assure that it benefits Ohio's citizens, promotes the state's economic interests; and protects the environment and land use.

Teens can visit various stations to play Guitar Hero II and III, Dance Dance Revolution and Rock Band and Dance Revolution. Emily Sanders, coordinator for children's services at MCDPL, said there will also be free chips, pop and pizza for the teens who attenp. The gaming nights are financially , made possible by the Friends of the Library. Sanders said video game (light for teens has already been held at the Racine Library where 30 teens participated and at the Eastern Library where 50 teens showed up. This is the first time gaming night will visit Pomeroy and Sanders hopes it won't be the last. · Sanders said the video games might not be the traditional reason teens visit the library but it is a .reason and provides a social, constructive alternative to just "hanging out." "Hopefully by using game night it gets teens into the library and shows them there's more services they can utilize at the library," Sanders added.

In a surprise move, officials bypassed younger candidates to name a 77-year-old revolutionary leader, Jose Ramon Machado, to Cuba's No. 2 spot - apparently assuring the old guard that no significant political changes will be made soon. The retirement of the ailing 81-yearold president caps a career in which he · frustrated efforts by 10 U.S. presidents to oust him. Raul Castro stressed that his brother remains "commander in chief' even if he is not president and proposed to consult with Fidel on all major decisions of state- a motion approved by acclamation. Though the succession was not likely to bring a major shift in the commu- . nist government policies that have put Cuba at odds with the United States. many Cubans were hoping it would open the door to modest economic refonns that might improve their daily lives. · · In his fll'St speech as president, Raul Castro suggested that the Communist Party as a whole would take over the role long held by Fidel, who fonnally remains its leader.

Machado, the new No. 2, fought alongside the Castro brothers in the Sierra Maestra during the late 1950s and is a key Communist Party ideologue. · . Cuba's young guard apparently will have to wait a little longer. Cabinet secretary Carlos Lage, 56, who is associated with the modest economic reforms of the 1990s, had been among the most visible Cuban officials since Fidel Castro fell ill and was considered a strong candidate to replace Raul as fll'St vice president. Machado and Lage were joined by four other vice · presidents: Juan Almeida Bosque, 80, a historic revolutionary leader; Interior Minister Abelardo Colome Ibarra. 68; Esteban Lazo Hernandez, .63, a longtime Communist Party leader. and Gen.

As the names of the new National Assembly's members were read aloud, mention of the absent Castro drew a standing ovation. Parliament gave another standing ovation to Raul. The session closed with shouts of "Viva . · Fidel!" In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez reaffiiTJled his economic and political support of Cuba when he took a telephone call from Raul Castro after the session. Chavez also sent a message to his ally Fidel, whom he visited numerous times during his illness. "Fidel, comrade," Chavez said, "I send you a hug. You continue to be El Comandante." . · Earlier Sunday, Chavez scoffed at the idea of a transition in Cuba, saying "the transition occurred 49 years ago," from U.S.-dominated capitalism to socialism.

Terrorists are plottipg attacks "at this very moment," Bush. said in his weekly radio a\ldress. He again urged the House to act on Senate-passed legislation needed to renew the intelligence law that ellpired last weekend. . The Senate bill provides retroactive protection for telecommunications companies that wiretapped U.S. phone and computer lines at the government's , request, but without the permission of a secret ,court created 30 years ago to oversee such activities. The House version does not provide such immunity a~ainst lawsuits. The Jusuce Department and Office of National Intelligence said Saturday that telecommuJ)ication companies are now complying with e)(isting surveillance warrants. The agencies' statement reversed their declaration !lite Friday that some companies had refused to initiate wiretaps . against people ·covered by orders issued under the e)(pired law. The statement said new surveillance activities under existing warrants will resume "for now," but that the delay "impaired our ability to cover foreign intelligence targets, which resulted in missed intelligence infonnation." . The statement also said companies may resist orders in the future . if Congress does not pass a law with retroactive immunity. · National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell predicted last week that the government's surveillance of terrorists would be harmed if the Ia~ were allowed to expire. He and Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that prediction had come true. Later Friday, the companies - whom administration officials refused to name - reversed their opposition to expanding existing orders to cover new surveillance activities.

In a surprise move, officials bypassed younger candidates to name a 77-year-old revolutionary leader, Jose Ramon Machado, to Cuba's No. 2 spot - apparently assuring the old guard that no significant political changes will be made soon. The retirement of the ailing 81-yearold president caps a career in which he · frustrated efforts by 10 U.S. presidents to oust him. Raul Castro stressed that his brother remains "commander in chief' even if he is not president and proposed to consult with Fidel on all major decisions of state- a motion approved by acclamation. Though the succession was not likely to bring a major shift in the commu- . nist government policies that have put Cuba at odds with the United States. many Cubans were hoping it would open the door to modest economic refonns that might improve their daily lives. · · In his fll'St speech as president, Raul Castro suggested that the Communist Party as a whole would take over the role long held by Fidel, who fonnally remains its leader. The new president said the nation's sole legal party "is the AP photo directing and superior force of society Cuba's acting President Raul Castro flashes the victory sign dur)ng a sesand the state." sion of Cuba's National Assembly in Havana, Sunday.

Machado, the new No. 2, fought alongside the Castro brothers in the Sierra Maestra during the late 1950s and is a key Communist Party ideologue. · . Cuba's young guard apparently will have to wait a little longer. Cabinet secretary Carlos Lage, 56, who is associated with the modest economic reforms of the 1990s, had been among the most visible Cuban officials since Fidel Castro fell ill and was considered a strong candidate to replace Raul as fll'St vice president. Machado and Lage were joined by four other vice · presidents: Juan Almeida Bosque, 80, a historic revolutionary leader; Interior Minister Abelardo Colome Ibarra. 68; Esteban Lazo Hernandez, .63, a longtime Communist Party leader. and Gen.

Fidel waS among the 614 members of parliament elected on Jan. 20 but his seat was empty at Sunday's gathering. As the names of the new National Assembly's members were read aloud, mention of the absent Castro drew a standing ovation. Parliament gave another standing ovation to Raul. The session closed with shouts of "Viva . · Fidel!" In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez reaffiiTJled his economic and political support of Cuba when he took a telephone call from Raul Castro after the session. Chavez also sent a message to his ally Fidel, whom he visited numerous times during his illness. "Fidel, comrade," Chavez said, "I send you a hug. You continue to be El Comandante." . · Earlier Sunday, Chavez scoffed at the idea of a transition in Cuba, saying "the transition occurred 49 years ago," from U.S.-dominated capitalism to socialism.

Leaders of coal-rich states say clean-coal technology is a must. Governors from states ' without coal want more evidence the technology works. . "There's no doubt there's a tension and there's no doubt there is very rapidly growing public opposition to coal ," said Gov. Jim Doyle, D-Wis . His state relies heavily on coal for power although Wisconsin is not a coal producer. Energy tops the agenda at the governors' annual winter meeting. The group's ·new clean energy initial! ve seeks to promote renewable ' fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "Next-generation coal is going to need lo continue to be part of our energy future for this country," said GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, chairman of the National Governors Associatiqn. "It is abundant, it is available, it is Americanized in the sense that we control the supply," he said Saturday. "We would be incomplete and doing a disservice to the debate and the ultimate policy direCtion that we're going to take if we don't envision coal being part of that." . Next-generation coal typically refers to capturing and somehow sequestering or storing the ,carbon that coal produces. It also envisions reducing or eliminating emissions as coal is burned. Pawlenty has embraced .renewable fuels such . as corn-based ethanol and conservation, but he also promotes clean-coal technology. Such technology is a rallying cry for many cqal-producing states. They say it is possible to continue relying on the fossil fuel while minimizing its impact on the environment. Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., envisions an economic turnaround if clean-coal technology takes off. "Coal states would be back in business big time and the economies would flourish ," said Rendell , the association's vice chairman. Presidents of two of the country ~ s big ge~t power compames urged governors not to dismiss coal, calling it the country's most abundant energy resource. "We cannot ignore coal, we cannot demonize coal," said Thomas Farrell, chairman of Richmond, Va.based Dominion Resources Inc. Michael Morris, chairman of Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power Co., said ·"the whole notion of delegitimizing coal is something we should all be frightened of." In Ohio, facing a budget shortfall of at least $733 million by June _..2009, Democratic Gov. Tee! Strickland has proposed a stimulus package that includes spendin~ $250 million on alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and clean coal. Gov. John Baldacci, DMaine, needs to' hear more before he · would include clean -coal technology among the · promising energy ideas for the country. His state promotes renewable energy produced . through wind, solar and even tides. "You have to deal with ihe coal states, but I don 't think you want them doing more of what they' re doing until they change what they 're doing and make it truly the next generation," he said in an interview. "Not just say clean-coal technology, but really do clean-coal technology." · Proponents say all energy sources have their problems. The key, says Gov. Brian Schweitzer, D-Mont. , is a national energy policy with many options and sources. That is important because electricity demand will increase in the future . For instance, Schweitzer predicted that I 0 years from now a significant number of cars will be plug-in hybrid vehicles, which will require . more power plants , not fewer. C:oal "has a C02 problem, wind has a reliability problem, solar has a price problem, nukes have a price and radiation ·problem," Schweitzer said. "So all of tliDse technologies have opportunities. but they all have problems - coal's no different.'' He added, "What I can say about coal, is we have it. We have it in a greater supply than anyplace else on ·the planet." Doyle , the Wi scon sin governor, said the emerging consensus is a mix of approaches.- He said the state's reliance on coal for electricity will decline but definitely not disappear. . ·-- --------·-·-- - - -- - - - - · - · - -.._ _._ _;,_____________ _...:..._ ______.--. --T"·• .,, . . . . .,. 0 ' Monday, February 25, 2008 Obituaries Dolulhy Louise Long The Daily Sentinel • Page As ;www.mydailySentinel.com For the Record . ; ~MEROY - Dorothy Louise Long, 93, of Pomeroy, OhiO passed away on Feb. 23, 2008 at Overbrook Nursing and Rehabtlttatton Center m Middleport, Ohio.

Ulll.ll'Y TO BUilD COAL-FIRED PLANT AS OHIO PUSHES ALTERNATIVES BY JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The ftrSt coal-burning power plant in decades is scheduled to begin construction next year and start producing electricity in 2013, even as Gov. Ted Strickland and lawmakers are about to begin pressing the use of alternatives such as wind and nuclear power. American Municipal Power-Ohio wants to put the 1,000-megawatt plant in economically strapped Meigs County in southern Ohio. AMP-Ohio 'members include 81 cities and villages 10 Ohio, 27 in Pennsylvania, seven in Michigan, five in Virginia, two in West Virginia · and one in Kentucky. While backers insist the plant will operate more cleanly than any coal-ftred plant m Ohio, detractors say tt's old technolo~ that will create a generation's worth of nasty pollutarits just as the state is poised to write a new, more environmentally conscious en~y policy. AMP-Ohio says It intends to shut down a smaller coalpower plant near Marietta once the new plant goes on line. AMP-Ohio utilities buy most of their power on the open market and the price volatility of the market shows the need for AMPOhio members to draw power from a more economIcally stable source, spokesman Kent Carson said. Cities and villages will save millions of dollars with the new plant, coupled with alternative power sources at other sites, such as wind, water and the gas emitted from decaying trash in landfills. The plant's 1,000 megawatts would provide enough power to serve about I million homes. "What we're attempting to do is to put all these projects together," Carson said. '"'be goal would be to significaritJy reduce market reliance." Cdnstruction of the plant, to be built in Letart Falls, about 38 miles south of Athens along the Ohio River, originally was projected to ~t $1.3 .billion. However, mcreases m construction costs and other factors have ballooned the price to an estimated $2.9 billion, with warnings from AMPOhio that cost could go,still . higher. Critics say that now isn't the time to be building new plants that run on coal, with the alternative technoloay that's available today. While ·the new plant may burn cleaner than those built up to 60 years ago, it still will bum high-sulfur coal. The utility should ftrSt look at energy efficiency programs and alternative fuels instead of rushing back into coal technology, said Josh Mogerman, srkesman of the Nationa Resources Defense Council. ''They're starting from the standpoint that we need a new plant. There's limitedto-no exploration of energy efficiency· r,rograms," · Mogerman said._ 'Let's look at the capacity that's there. Let's look at some other technologies before starting at the bottom of the barrel." Carson notes that AMPOhio operates the state's only ,Pc?wer-producing commereta! windmilf farm in Wood County. Some communities aren't . buying into the coal plant program. The cities of Yellow Springs, Oberlin and Westerville have opted out while the Cleveland City Council plans to vote on · whether to withdraw on Monday. · Cleveland and Westerville, a Columbus suburb, are the biggest cities AMP-Ohio serves.

Leaders of coal-rich states say clean-coal technology is a must. Governors from states ' without coal want more evidence the technology works. . "There's no doubt there's a tension and there's no doubt there is very rapidly growing public opposition to coal ," said Gov. Jim Doyle, D-Wis . His state relies heavily on coal for power although Wisconsin is not a coal producer. Energy tops the agenda at the governors' annual winter meeting. The group's ·new clean energy initial! ve seeks to promote renewable ' fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "Next-generation coal is going to need lo continue to be part of our energy future for this country," said GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, chairman of the National Governors Associatiqn. "It is abundant, it is available, it is Americanized in the sense that we control the supply," he said Saturday. "We would be incomplete and doing a disservice to the debate and the ultimate policy direCtion that we're going to take if we don't envision coal being part of that." . Next-generation coal typically refers to capturing and somehow sequestering or storing the ,carbon that coal produces. It also envisions reducing or eliminating emissions as coal is burned. Pawlenty has embraced .renewable fuels such . as corn-based ethanol and conservation, but he also promotes clean-coal technology. Such technology is a rallying cry for many cqal-producing states. They say it is possible to continue relying on the fossil fuel while minimizing its impact on the environment. Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., envisions an economic turnaround if clean-coal technology takes off. "Coal states would be back in business big time and the economies would flourish ," said Rendell , the association's vice chairman. Presidents of two of the country ~ s big ge~t power compames urged governors not to dismiss coal, calling it the country's most abundant energy resource. "We cannot ignore coal, we cannot demonize coal," said Thomas Farrell, chairman of Richmond, Va.based Dominion Resources Inc. Michael Morris, chairman of Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power Co., said ·"the whole notion of delegitimizing coal is something we should all be frightened of." In Ohio, facing a budget shortfall of at least $733 million by June _..2009, Democratic Gov. Tee! Strickland has proposed a stimulus package that includes spendin~ $250 million on alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and clean coal. Gov. John Baldacci, DMaine, needs to' hear more before he · would include clean -coal technology among the · promising energy ideas for the country. His state promotes renewable energy produced . through wind, solar and even tides. "You have to deal with ihe coal states, but I don 't think you want them doing more of what they' re doing until they change what they 're doing and make it truly the next generation," he said in an interview. "Not just say clean-coal technology, but really do clean-coal technology." · Proponents say all energy sources have their problems. The key, says Gov. Brian Schweitzer, D-Mont. , is a national energy policy with many options and sources. That is important because electricity demand will increase in the future . For instance, Schweitzer predicted that I 0 years from now a significant number of cars will be plug-in hybrid vehicles, which will require . more power plants , not fewer. C:oal "has a C02 problem, wind has a reliability problem, solar has a price problem, nukes have a price and radiation ·problem," Schweitzer said. "So all of tliDse technologies have opportunities. but they all have problems - coal's no different.'' He added, "What I can say about coal, is we have it. We have it in a greater supply than anyplace else on ·the planet." Doyle , the Wi scon sin governor, said the emerging consensus is a mix of approaches.- He said the state's reliance on coal for electricity will decline but definitely not disappear. . ·-- --------·-·-- - - -- - - - - · - · - -.._ _._ _;,_____________ _...:..._ ______.--. --T"·• .,, . . . . .,. 0 ' Monday, February 25, 2008 Obituaries Dolulhy Louise Long The Daily Sentinel • Page As ;www.mydailySentinel.com For the Record . ; ~MEROY - Dorothy Louise Long, 93, of Pomeroy, OhiO passed away on Feb. 23, 2008 at Overbrook Nursing and Rehabtlttatton Center m Middleport, Ohio.

Ulll.ll'Y TO BUilD COAL-FIRED PLANT AS OHIO PUSHES ALTERNATIVES BY JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The ftrSt coal-burning power plant in decades is scheduled to begin construction next year and start producing electricity in 2013, even as Gov. Ted Strickland and lawmakers are about to begin pressing the use of alternatives such as wind and nuclear power. American Municipal Power-Ohio wants to put the 1,000-megawatt plant in economically strapped Meigs County in southern Ohio. AMP-Ohio 'members include 81 cities and villages 10 Ohio, 27 in Pennsylvania, seven in Michigan, five in Virginia, two in West Virginia · and one in Kentucky. While backers insist the plant will operate more cleanly than any coal-ftred plant m Ohio, detractors say tt's old technolo~ that will create a generation's worth of nasty pollutarits just as the state is poised to write a new, more environmentally conscious en~y policy. AMP-Ohio says It intends to shut down a smaller coalpower plant near Marietta once the new plant goes on line. AMP-Ohio utilities buy most of their power on the open market and the price volatility of the market shows the need for AMPOhio members to draw power from a more economIcally stable source, spokesman Kent Carson said. Cities and villages will save millions of dollars with the new plant, coupled with alternative power sources at other sites, such as wind, water and the gas emitted from decaying trash in landfills. The plant's 1,000 megawatts would provide enough power to serve about I million homes. "What we're attempting to do is to put all these projects together," Carson said. '"'be goal would be to significaritJy reduce market reliance." Cdnstruction of the plant, to be built in Letart Falls, about 38 miles south of Athens along the Ohio River, originally was projected to ~t $1.3 .billion. However, mcreases m construction costs and other factors have ballooned the price to an estimated $2.9 billion, with warnings from AMPOhio that cost could go,still . higher. Critics say that now isn't the time to be building new plants that run on coal, with the alternative technoloay that's available today. While ·the new plant may burn cleaner than those built up to 60 years ago, it still will bum high-sulfur coal. The utility should ftrSt look at energy efficiency programs and alternative fuels instead of rushing back into coal technology, said Josh Mogerman, srkesman of the Nationa Resources Defense Council. ''They're starting from the standpoint that we need a new plant. There's limitedto-no exploration of energy efficiency· r,rograms," · Mogerman said._ 'Let's look at the capacity that's there. Let's look at some other technologies before starting at the bottom of the barrel." Carson notes that AMPOhio operates the state's only ,Pc?wer-producing commereta! windmilf farm in Wood County. Some communities aren't . buying into the coal plant program.

P<vt of that was due to the young Buckeyes' shot selection, but most of it was Wisconsin's physical , stifling defense, which allows just 55.4 points a game, second best m the nation. ''On defense, !hey locked up and we locked up,'' Wisconsin's Brian Butch said. "It was a typical Big Ten finish. We JUSt happened to make a few more plays on the defensive end.
