The accounting firm Balestra. Harr & Scherer of Piketoh completed the audits of villalle funds under contract with the village. The two audit reports were released as public record by the Ohio Auditor of State on Dec. 26. · The last audit of the vi 1lage's books, released two years ago, found a number of irregularities and a finding for recovery against a former water dep·artment employee, Christy Williams. That finding, for $1.300.87 , has never been recovered, according to the 2004 audit released Dec. 26. That audit round that pay- ments made by utility customers in 200 I were not posted to their respective accounts, based on an investigation by the Auditor of State and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Williams was found responsible for the cash shortages. and the case was turned over to the prosecuting attorney. "The village has made no attempt to recover the missing funds," the audit report issued last week said. The 2002-2003 audit also stated that the village had misrepresented the use of a bank loan, had spent monie' in excess of the original appropriations and had not adequately reconciled bank statements. Three other findings from the '02/'03 audits also remain uncorrected and were re-issued or repeated as findings in the 2004 audit released last week.

Blige, Mariah Carey, Sidney Po it ier and Chris Tuck~r. were asked to bring a per-· sonally inscribed book for the library, which included everything from self-help books to Harry Potter. Winfrey, who is called "Mam Oprah" by the girls. said she came with a celebrity posse for a reason. 'These people have the power to do things. They have voices which can be heard in the U.S . and across the world," she said. Lee, who attended with his family, said it was a "testimony • to Oprah's power to see all these people showed up to support her." "Oprah is one of the most amazing women in the world. It is amazing to see what she can do when she puts her mind to it. It is an honor to be here," said · Carey. Africa has drawn attention from a number of celebrities. Madonna adopted a Malawian boy and set up programs for others orphaned by AIDS in that southern African country. while actor George Clooney has lobbied to stop the violence in Sudan's Darfur region. Other , stars have acted as U.N . goodwill ambassadors. Nelson Mandcla; whom Winfrey credited with inspiring her to build the school , interrupted his vacation for the ceremony. Mandela, 88, looked frail as he was helped to the stage AP photo U.S. talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, centre , and students cut the ribbon during the opening of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in the small town of Henley-on-Kiip, South Africa, Tuesday_ Winfrey opened a school Tuesday for disadvantaged girls, fulfilling a promi se she made to former President Nelson Mandel a six years ago and giving more than 150 students a chance for a better future . by his wife Graca Machel and Winfrey. The anti-apartheid leader, who became South Africa's first democratically eleCted president in 1994, beamed as he told Winfrey: "This is not a di stant donation but a project that clearly lies close to your heart." The girls sat attentively on stage in green-and-white uniforms as the poignant stories of some were told in a documentary shown to gue,ts . A few students greeted guests and media with Winfrey, clutching at her long pmk dress and holding her hand. Maphefo Leputu, 12, of Soweto, who used to share a bed with her cousins, said she was overwhelmed at the prospect of her own room and bathroom - and the chance to one day become a lawyer. "I would have had a completely different life if this hadn 't happened to me," said 13-year-old Lesego Tlhabanyane, whose mother abandoned her when she was 4. "Now I get a life where I get to be treated like a movie star." Earlier Winfrey said at a news conference that educatin~ girls could have farreachtng benefits. ''Girls who are educated are less likely to get H[V/AIDS. and in this country, which has such a pandemic, we have to begin to change the pandemic," she said. Many of the girls come from families affected by the disease, which has infected 5.4 million of South Africa's 48 million population and hit women disproportionately hard. Winfrey referred repeatedly to her own impoverished childhood and said she was grateful she had a good education . "l was a poor girl who grew up with my grandmother, like so many of these girls. with no water and electricity," she said. She promised to continue to support the girls so they could attend any university in the world . The idea for the school was born in 2000 at a meeting between Winfrey and Mandela. Built on 52 acres, the 28building campus resembles a lu1tury hotel, with stateof-the-art classrooms, computer and science labs and a library, theater and wellness center. Each girl lives in a two-bedroom suite. Winfrey said she chose "every brick tile, sheet and spoon," because "if you are surrounded by beautiful things and wonderful teachers who inspire you, that beauty brings out the beauty in you." · Some South Africans called the school elitist and a waste of money wl1ich could have been used to educate more children. But others applauded Winfrey. "Any initiative which .. . enhances the quality of which education and enhances the possibility of a young person realizing their dream to do better is a welcome opportunity," Education Mimster Naledi Pandor said. "Girls' education in Africa may be the highest returning investment in the world right now," said Gene Sperling. director of the Center for Universal Education at the Council on Foreign Relations. "There's never a CNN camera showing a child dying from lack of education, but children die from lack of education every day." As for those who criticized Winfrey for creating a lavish retreat for a small number of girls, Ken Walker, the Africa press officer in Johannesburg for CARE. said: "You make leaders by treating them as elite." Despite government efforts to improve the school system, the education department said last week that two-thirds of the I ,667,000 South African children who started. school 12 years ago dropped out, and only ~ percent did well enough to be eligible to go to a university. State-funded schools, especially in the townships that sprang up under while racist rule, are plagued by gang violence, drugs and a high rate of teen pregnancy. Winfrey selected the lito 12-year-old girls from 3,500 applicants. To qualify, they had to show both academic and leadership potential and have a household income of no more than $787 a month. Winfrey said she was building a home for herself on the campus to spend time with the girls and to be involved in their education. "I love these girls with every part of my being," she saJd. "I didn't know you could feel this way about other people 's children.', Relatives anguished after report that missing Indonesian plane was found proves false Bv ZAKKI HAKIM ASSOCIATED 'PRESS WRITER MAKASSAR.

The true stars, though, were Sade and Megan , whose father killed their mother and then himself; Zodwa, whose mother died of AIDS , and some 150 other girls who ' Winfre y said had a "light so bright" that it shone through their deprivation and helped their dream' come true. The $40 miflion Oprah Winfre y Leadership Academy for Girl s in the town of Henley-on- Kiip , south of Johannesburg, plucked the girl s from poverty to be groomed for power. Winfrey said she planned to open another school for boys and girl s this month in eastern K waZulu-Natal provmce , Gu ests on Tuesday, includin g Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Sidney Po it ier and Chris Tuck~r. were asked to bring a per-· sonally inscribed book for the library, which included everything from self-help books to Harry Potter. Winfrey, who is called "Mam Oprah" by the girls. said she came with a celebrity posse for a reason. 'These people have the power to do things. They have voices which can be heard in the U.S . and across the world," she said. Lee, who attended with his family, said it was a "testimony • to Oprah's power to see all these people showed up to support her." "Oprah is one of the most amazing women in the world. It is amazing to see what she can do when she puts her mind to it. It is an honor to be here," said · Carey. Africa has drawn attention from a number of celebrities. Madonna adopted a Malawian boy and set up programs for others orphaned by AIDS in that southern African country. while actor George Clooney has lobbied to stop the violence in Sudan's Darfur region. Other , stars have acted as U.N . goodwill ambassadors. Nelson Mandcla; whom Winfrey credited with inspiring her to build the school , interrupted his vacation for the ceremony. Mandela, 88, looked frail as he was helped to the stage AP photo U.S. talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, centre , and students cut the ribbon during the opening of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in the small town of Henley-on-Kiip, South Africa, Tuesday_ Winfrey opened a school Tuesday for disadvantaged girls, fulfilling a promi se she made to former President Nelson Mandel a six years ago and giving more than 150 students a chance for a better future . by his wife Graca Machel and Winfrey. The anti-apartheid leader, who became South Africa's first democratically eleCted president in 1994, beamed as he told Winfrey: "This is not a di stant donation but a project that clearly lies close to your heart." The girls sat attentively on stage in green-and-white uniforms as the poignant stories of some were told in a documentary shown to gue,ts . A few students greeted guests and media with Winfrey, clutching at her long pmk dress and holding her hand. Maphefo Leputu, 12, of Soweto, who used to share a bed with her cousins, said she was overwhelmed at the prospect of her own room and bathroom - and the chance to one day become a lawyer. "I would have had a completely different life if this hadn 't happened to me," said 13-year-old Lesego Tlhabanyane, whose mother abandoned her when she was 4. "Now I get a life where I get to be treated like a movie star." Earlier Winfrey said at a news conference that educatin~ girls could have farreachtng benefits. ''Girls who are educated are less likely to get H[V/AIDS. and in this country, which has such a pandemic, we have to begin to change the pandemic," she said. Many of the girls come from families affected by the disease, which has infected 5.4 million of South Africa's 48 million population and hit women disproportionately hard. Winfrey referred repeatedly to her own impoverished childhood and said she was grateful she had a good education . "l was a poor girl who grew up with my grandmother, like so many of these girls. with no water and electricity," she said. She promised to continue to support the girls so they could attend any university in the world . The idea for the school was born in 2000 at a meeting between Winfrey and Mandela. Built on 52 acres, the 28building campus resembles a lu1tury hotel, with stateof-the-art classrooms, computer and science labs and a library, theater and wellness center. Each girl lives in a two-bedroom suite. Winfrey said she chose "every brick tile, sheet and spoon," because "if you are surrounded by beautiful things and wonderful teachers who inspire you, that beauty brings out the beauty in you." · Some South Africans called the school elitist and a waste of money wl1ich could have been used to educate more children. But others applauded Winfrey. "Any initiative which .. . enhances the quality of which education and enhances the possibility of a young person realizing their dream to do better is a welcome opportunity," Education Mimster Naledi Pandor said. "Girls' education in Africa may be the highest returning investment in the world right now," said Gene Sperling. director of the Center for Universal Education at the Council on Foreign Relations. "There's never a CNN camera showing a child dying from lack of education, but children die from lack of education every day." As for those who criticized Winfrey for creating a lavish retreat for a small number of girls, Ken Walker, the Africa press officer in Johannesburg for CARE. said: "You make leaders by treating them as elite." Despite government efforts to improve the school system, the education department said last week that two-thirds of the I ,667,000 South African children who started. school 12 years ago dropped out, and only ~ percent did well enough to be eligible to go to a university. State-funded schools, especially in the townships that sprang up under while racist rule, are plagued by gang violence, drugs and a high rate of teen pregnancy. Winfrey selected the lito 12-year-old girls from 3,500 applicants. To qualify, they had to show both academic and leadership potential and have a household income of no more than $787 a month. Winfrey said she was building a home for herself on the campus to spend time with the girls and to be involved in their education. "I love these girls with every part of my being," she saJd.

No public money appeared to go to the forprofit companies, the audit concluded; and auditors did not determine any of the payments over the three~nd-a-half-year period to be Improper. . Montgomery! citing .the mcomplete mformauon, referred her findings to the Ohio Ethics Commission, the Ohio Attorney General's office, and the Internal Revenue S.ervice to see whether eth1cs or nonprofit Jaws have been broken: . Onana House officials said the transactions were a standard part of doing business as a nonprofit, and dented blockmg access to pe.~inent records. . She had access to I 00 percent of all transactions between Oriana House and its subsidiaries," said Bernie Rochford, executive vice president. America. and America found a man whose character and leadership would bring calm and healing to one of the most divisive moments in our nation's history," President Bush said in his eulogy. Bush's father, the first President Bush, called Fonl a "Norman Rockwell painting come to life" and pierced the solemnity of the occasion by cracking gentle jokes about Ford's reputation as an errant golfer. He said Fonl knew his golf game was getting better when he began hitting fewer spectators. ·Ford's athletic interest was honored, too, in the capital and in Michigan. At the Grand Rapids airpon that bears Fonl's name, the Michigan band played the school's famous fight song, "The Victors," as Ford's flag-draped casket was transferred to a hearse. He had played center for the Wolverines in their undefeated, national championship seasons in 1932 and 1933 and tumed down several pro football offers to go to law school at Yale instead. Jimmy Carter, the Democrat who defeated Fonl in 1976 and became his .friend, not only attended the Washington service with the two other living ex-presidents, the elder Bush and Bill Clinton, but came to Grand Rapids on the plane wi.th Fonl's family and his remams. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, delivering one of the most emotional tributes of the day, spoke as if addressing from PageA1 Ford directly, in remarks at the museum. "You were a para- 18 months in prison on the doxical gift of remarkable liafecracking charge and one intellect and achievement year on the theft charge, and wrapped in a plain brown that the sentences be served wrapper," said Granholm, a consecutively.

Burglary Aging regretted eliminating the PASSPORT program which serves homebound seniors, Shaver explained that it was a financial drain taking away from other programs and one which could be handled without interruption through another area agency. The program operated under a contract with the Area Agency on Aging with no promise of increased reimbursement for services provided. With that done. the director · with assistance from employees embarked on an ambitious fundraising plan to stabilize the anticipated increased costs of rroviding services. A goal .o $25.000 was set for last year. The employees donated over 700 hours ·and the result was that they not only met the goal but exceeded it by $10,000. "All of those dollars went directly into services." said Shaver.

"Despite the increase in gasoline prices, our meals went out as usual and our transportation services occurred as scheduled," said . Shaver. Other steps taken included action to reduce the Bureau , of Worker's Compensation premium. The agency initiated a drug free workplace and a I 0 step safety program which resulted in a BWC group rate providing an 82 percent savings which will become efl'ective in July. Participation in Center activities continues to increase, according ·to the director. Congregate meals have increased as the nutrition staff have improved meals and offered alternate menu choice.

The business structure is standard in the industry he said. ' Operators of Oriana House waged a three-year legal war against the state audit, arguing that their business and personal financia! records should not be opened to the state just because they entered a contract to run a public entity. Montgomery scored a pivoral victory in the Ohio Supreme Coun in April, when justices ruled unanimously that she had a rjght to Onana House financial records because the state needed the ability to follow the money trail to potential conflicts of interest. The coun stopped shan of allowing the state access to personal financial reconls of James Lawrence, Oriana House president and CEO. Four lawsuits filed by Lawrence since September 2003 have cost the state $1.80,000, MontgomefY swd. "I regret that Ohio taxpayers had to bear the cost· of Oriana House and its director's legal attempts to prevent this audit from happening," Montgome.ry said in a statement.

Wilson remains free on bond pending sentencing. Proffitt said he expects the Searls case to go to triaL years. It is difficult to mcrease these services due to financial constraints. Taking the dollars allotted to these services and stretching them to serve as many people as possible is vital. That ts the reason our employees work so hard at fundraising. It is impgrtant to us to see ~~at we meet as many needs as we can," commented the director. "In 2007 we don't anticipate any increases in program dollars so we will again pursue additional funds through fundraising and exploring any potential new revenues to suppon our mission of servin~ the older population of Me1gs County." In conclusion Shaver said she is excited about the new ventures for 2007 to be done in addition to the regular services that occur every day. "Our dedication to seeing that the agency and services continue to meet the needs of our consumers remains the driving force behind each employee. We have a wonderful and committed staff who together with the Board of Trustees and volunteers see that the center continues to thrive and prosper.

America. and America found a man whose character and leadership would bring calm and healing to one of the most divisive moments in our nation's history," President Bush said in his eulogy. Bush's father, the first President Bush, called Fonl a "Norman Rockwell painting come to life" and pierced the solemnity of the occasion by cracking gentle jokes about Ford's reputation as an errant golfer. He said Fonl knew his golf game was getting better when he began hitting fewer spectators. ·Ford's athletic interest was honored, too, in the capital and in Michigan. At the Grand Rapids airpon that bears Fonl's name, the Michigan band played the school's famous fight song, "The Victors," as Ford's flag-draped casket was transferred to a hearse. He had played center for the Wolverines in their undefeated, national championship seasons in 1932 and 1933 and tumed down several pro football offers to go to law school at Yale instead. Jimmy Carter, the Democrat who defeated Fonl in 1976 and became his .friend, not only attended the Washington service with the two other living ex-presidents, the elder Bush and Bill Clinton, but came to Grand Rapids on the plane wi.th Fonl's family and his remams. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, delivering one of the most emotional tributes of the day, spoke as if addressing from PageA1 Ford directly, in remarks at the museum. "You were a para- 18 months in prison on the doxical gift of remarkable liafecracking charge and one intellect and achievement year on the theft charge, and wrapped in a plain brown that the sentences be served wrapper," said Granholm, a consecutively.

Burglary Aging regretted eliminating the PASSPORT program which serves homebound seniors, Shaver explained that it was a financial drain taking away from other programs and one which could be handled without interruption through another area agency. The program operated under a contract with the Area Agency on Aging with no promise of increased reimbursement for services provided. With that done. the director · with assistance from employees embarked on an ambitious fundraising plan to stabilize the anticipated increased costs of rroviding services. A goal .o $25.000 was set for last year. The employees donated over 700 hours ·and the result was that they not only met the goal but exceeded it by $10,000. "All of those dollars went directly into services." said Shaver.

"Despite the increase in gasoline prices, our meals went out as usual and our transportation services occurred as scheduled," said . Shaver. Other steps taken included action to reduce the Bureau , of Worker's Compensation premium. The agency initiated a drug free workplace and a I 0 step safety program which resulted in a BWC group rate providing an 82 percent savings which will become efl'ective in July. Participation in Center activities continues to increase, according ·to the director. Congregate meals have increased as the nutrition staff have improved meals and offered alternate menu choice.

The business structure is standard in the industry he said. ' Operators of Oriana House waged a three-year legal war against the state audit, arguing that their business and personal financia! records should not be opened to the state just because they entered a contract to run a public entity. Montgomery scored a pivoral victory in the Ohio Supreme Coun in April, when justices ruled unanimously that she had a rjght to Onana House financial records because the state needed the ability to follow the money trail to potential conflicts of interest. The coun stopped shan of allowing the state access to personal financial reconls of James Lawrence, Oriana House president and CEO. Four lawsuits filed by Lawrence since September 2003 have cost the state $1.80,000, MontgomefY swd. "I regret that Ohio taxpayers had to bear the cost· of Oriana House and its director's legal attempts to prevent this audit from happening," Montgome.ry said in a statement.

Wilson remains free on bond pending sentencing. Proffitt said he expects the Searls case to go to triaL years. It is difficult to mcrease these services due to financial constraints. Taking the dollars allotted to these services and stretching them to serve as many people as possible is vital. That ts the reason our employees work so hard at fundraising. It is impgrtant to us to see ~~at we meet as many needs as we can," commented the director. "In 2007 we don't anticipate any increases in program dollars so we will again pursue additional funds through fundraising and exploring any potential new revenues to suppon our mission of servin~ the older population of Me1gs County." In conclusion Shaver said she is excited about the new ventures for 2007 to be done in addition to the regular services that occur every day. "Our dedication to seeing that the agency and services continue to meet the needs of our consumers remains the driving force behind each employee. We have a wonderful and committed staff who together with the Board of Trustees and volunteers see that the center continues to thrive and prosper.

The 8(}.mile waterway that cuts through centml Ohio is home to 37 rare and endangered species of mussels and fish. The company that wants to build the farm with 5,400 cows said the river would be protected and the manure would not leak ilito the water. "I think this is a very great opportunity to show .farms can be environmentally sound in sensitive watersheds," said Tom Menke, a consultant for Orleton Farms LLC. The increasing number of large-scale farm operations in the state and concerns • over odors and pollution have pitted.neighbors against neighbors in some communities. Conservationists think the manure cows produce could pollute the Big Darby· s tri butaries and threaten the federally endangered . clubshell mussel, which lives downstream in Little Darby Creek, said Anthony Sa~son. freshwater conservation coordinator for the 0)1io Nature Conservancy. "It's dwindling in popula~ tion compared to just a few decades ago." Sasson said. "We need to protect them." There has been much auention on protecting the Big Darby Creek from development and pollution. The state has focused on tougher limits for new housing developments and sewage plants. But taking action against farms isn't as simple. State agriculture officials and environmental officials 1nust show waste from a large livestock farm is actually polluting a stream before they can set limits on how much is allowable. The Ohio Department of Agriculture must approve the company 's plans to operate the dairy, a process that could take up to a year. The proposed dairy farm won't release any wastes to a Little Darby tributary, · Menke said. The farm would collect and treat animal waste instead of storing it in ponds. Treated sludge would then be spread on farm fields. John Tetzloff, president of the ' Darby Creek Association, said he thinks the farm will leak wastes.

The 8(}.mile waterway that cuts through centml Ohio is home to 37 rare and endangered species of mussels and fish. The company that wants to build the farm with 5,400 cows said the river would be protected and the manure would not leak ilito the water. "I think this is a very great opportunity to show .farms can be environmentally sound in sensitive watersheds," said Tom Menke, a consultant for Orleton Farms LLC. The increasing number of large-scale farm operations in the state and concerns • over odors and pollution have pitted.neighbors against neighbors in some communities. Conservationists think the manure cows produce could pollute the Big Darby· s tri butaries and threaten the federally endangered . clubshell mussel, which lives downstream in Little Darby Creek, said Anthony Sa~son. freshwater conservation coordinator for the 0)1io Nature Conservancy. "It's dwindling in popula~ tion compared to just a few decades ago." Sasson said. "We need to protect them." There has been much auention on protecting the Big Darby Creek from development and pollution. The state has focused on tougher limits for new housing developments and sewage plants. But taking action against farms isn't as simple. State agriculture officials and environmental officials 1nust show waste from a large livestock farm is actually polluting a stream before they can set limits on how much is allowable. The Ohio Department of Agriculture must approve the company 's plans to operate the dairy, a process that could take up to a year. The proposed dairy farm won't release any wastes to a Little Darby tributary, · Menke said. The farm would collect and treat animal waste instead of storing it in ponds. Treated sludge would then be spread on farm fields. John Tetzloff, president of the ' Darby Creek Association, said he thinks the farm will leak wastes.

Hughes hit three 3-pointers in the fou rth and Damon Jones scored eight points in the ruml I:35 as the Cavs, who have struggled on the road, improved to 14-3 at home and beal the Spurs for the second time this season. They did so by harassing San Antonio all 94 teet, holding the NBA's second-most accumte shooting team to just 38 percent from the lield, a season-low 28 field goals and only 10 points in the third quarter.' After scoring just 44 points in the first three periods, the ' Cavaliers scored 38 in the linal 12 minutes. "Somehow, someway, we stayed with it," said Cleveland coach Mike Brown, a defensive guru who learned about stops and schemes as an assistant under San Antonio's Gregg Popovich. ," We all showed grit. We wo~ . the gaiue the right way." Jones scored all II of his poiiHs in the fourth, and Anderson Varejao added seven rebounds, including four on the offensive end when he outhustled and outmuscled San Antonio's big men under the ba~ker.Tony Parker led the Spurs with 26 points - 14 in the fo urth - and Tim Duncan had 18 points . and 15 rebounds. San Antonio played the fi nal six minutes without Popovich, who was assessed two technical fouls and ejected following a wild sequence that began with Duncan com- plai ning about contact. Assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo ran the club down the stretch. "I felt there was an inconsistent whistle," said Duncan, who finished 6-of-15. 'They got more points at a ti me which calls and shots were starting to go their way." Despite shooting just 36 percent from the floor, the Cavaliers won their third straight over the Spurs, the first time they've done that since 1988. CLASSIFIED ''It's big for us," Hughes said.

ARLO & JANIS �Page 86 • The Daily Sentinel LotJisville wins Orange Bowl BY STEVEN WINE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI - For much of the Orange Bowl, the highpowered Loui svi lle Cardinals were stalled in neutral. They blew a field goal, lost two fumbles and dropped a potential touchdown pass. But despite the rash of mistake s, there was no stopping the Cardinals from Jheir first major-bowl victory in 15 years. Anthony Allen scored two touchdowns, one on a trick play, and Brian· Brahm threw for 311 yards to lead Louisville past F.orest 24-13 Wake Tuesday night. The Cardinals averaged 39 points and ranked second in the nation in total offense this season, but fell behind 13-JO . in the final period before their offense went into h-igh gear. Touchdown drives of RI and 71 yards on consecutive possessions sealed their first win in a major bowl since the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. No. 5 Louisville finished 12-1 to ensure the highest final ranking in school history. "This is a big win for our program," said Harry Douglas, who made 10 catches for 165 yards. "We're becoming a national power. It had to start with this game." The No. 15 Demon Deacons slipped to 11 -3, still their best season. "Looki ng back o.n our season, you definitely have to be happy with what we did," linebacker Jon Abbate said. "We turned the corner for Wake Forest football." For three quarters, squandered opportunities plagued the Cardinals. They lost two fumbles in Wake Forest territory, Mario Urrutia dropped a potential 62-yard touchdown pass, and Art Carmody - the Lou Groza Award winner - was wide right on a 32-yard field goal attempt, only his fourth miss this season. "We weren't holding onto ·the ball," center Eric Wood said. "We weren't helping ourselves out." Alphonso Smith nearly blocked Carmody's errant kick and also harried Louisville 's punter into a 14-yard boot that set up a 44-yard field goal by Sam Swank of Wake Forest. Like Louisville . the Demon Deacons failed to convert several scoring chances. They committed three turnovers in Cardinal territory, and after moving 36 yards in the final minute of the first half, Swank • Notebook PRACTICE, PRAC· TICE, PRACTICE: The Buckeyes started bowl week," Gators coach Urban workouts on Dec. 2 and had Meyer said.
