Representatives of Robert W. Baird & Co ., of Columbus met Tuesday night with the Meigs Local Board of Education to review refunding on a ponion of the bonds sold in 2000 and the sale of new bonds at a lesser interest rate . It was reported that the transaction resulted in a reduction in the interest rate on bonds with dates beyond 2010 from 5.73 percent to 4:06 percent creating a gross savings of what is projected to be $312,000. The total amount of bonds refunded was $3,654,995, a ponion of the original principal amount of $5,726,000, according to the Baird representatives David J. Conle~. manajling director, and Dtane Chtme, financial anal~st. Mark Rhonemus. Meigs Local treasurer, who worked with the Baird rep- · resentatives on the project. compared the bond refunding proce ss to "someone refinancing their home" in order to get a reduction in imerest rate. Rhonemus explained that if property values stay the same and delinquency rates do not increase. then tax payers of the district could see a minor reduction. He estimated a savings district wide of approximately 24,000 a year. He further noted that the district can only collect enough taxes each year needed to pay the required amount on the bond retire · ment - which to date has averaged about $525,000 a year. Therefore since the district has now sold new bonds at a lower rate, it means that less tax dollars have to be collected to make the required payment toward the bond retirement . The county auditor makes that adjustment.

The rumor has become so pervasive it came up at this week's session of Pomeroy Village Council and resulted in ODOT receiving a phone call from Mason, W.Va. Mayor Mindy Kearns about the situation. There is even an untrue rumor ·floating around that ODOT would be providing a ferry during the "so called" closure. "We have no intention of closing the bridge in March or any other plans .to close that bridge at this point in time," said Stephanie Filson, ODOT's public information officer for district 10. Filson went on to say if a structure as large as the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge, a heavily traveled route, were to close for an extended period of time the public would be notified through the media well in advance, not to mention public meetings would likely be held to discuss alternate routes. Filson said unless there was some unforeseen emergency that resulted in a temporary closure there is "no way" anyone would just arrive at the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge to find it "arbitrarily closed." The bridge was recently closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Jan. 31 - Feb. I to complete annual maintenance repairs. Filson said the repair' were not key to the structural integrity of the bridge in any way. "The main reason we even closed the bridge at that time was to ·protect work crews on the site," she added. Filson said in addition to the existing bridge's annual "in-depth" insr:ction, two years ago spec1al sensors to STAFf REPORT NEWS@M'iDAil'iSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - A onevehicle accident that killed a Meigs County man remains under investigation by the Gallia·Meigs Post of the State Highway Patrol.

AS �The Daily Sentinel LOCAL • STATE Attorney General Marc Denn s;peaks at a news conference Wednesday in Columbus. Dann outlined his response to a Republican challenge of a veto by Gov. Ted Strickland. a fellow Democrat. Republican lawmakers have asked the Ohio Supreme Court to throw out the veto of the consumer protection oi II because it was completed during the last legislative session and under former Gov. Boo Taft. AP photo Ohio attorney general says GOP wrong to challenge governor's veto BY MATT LEINGANG ASSOCIATED PRE SS WRITER COLUMBUS Republican lawmakers had no legal authori ly to ask the Ohio Supreme Court to out a veto throw Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland carried out on his first day in oftice, the state's top lawyer said Wednesday. · Attorney General Marc Dann filed a request to dismiss the lawsuit, which he called an extraordinary attempt by the GOP-controlled Legislature to draw the state's highest court into a political dispute. The lawsuit ''threatens the values of separation of powers and judicial restraint," • said Dann. a Democrat who, • along with Strickland, took office in January. Senate President Bill Harris and House Speaker Jon Husted argue that Strickland'.s veto of a wide. ranging bill placing limits on consumer fraud lawsuits · is invalid because the bill was adopted in December during the last legislative session. The . bill would place a $~.000 limit on certain court damages and create new protections for companies that once sold PageA2 paint with lead in it. Strickland and his legal advisers contend that he was able to veto the bill because former Gov. Bob Taft. a Republican. had decided to let it become law without signing it and a deadline for it to become law had not yet passed. In their lawsuit, Republican legislative leaders say the I0-day countdown for the bill to become law without Taft's signature passed before Strickland was inaugurated. They lay the legal blame for the dispute with Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, saying she violated her constitutional duties by sending it back to Strickland's office instead of. recording the bill and making it part of state law. Brunner, who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, had no constitutional authority to deny the governor's request, Dann said. Dann also said Republican leaders have no legal rillht - called standing - to sue on behalf of the legislators who decided the bill before they adjourned on Dec. 26. A new session with new lawmakers began in January. The new Legislature has no legal claim over a bill it did not pass, Dann said. Republicans also are trying to usurp the court system by filing their complaint directly with the Supreme Court instead of first seeking a lower court ruling, Dann said. "We think we have better legal arguments, and we'll find out when the case goes to court," said Karen Tabor, a spokeswoman for the House speaker. Republican leaders have 10 days to file a response with the court. Tabor said the court battle isn't likely to damage the Legislature's relationship with the new goyernor, who is drafting his first budget proposal. "There are always going to be points of disagreements. This just happens to be one that we disagree on," she said. Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said the governor stands by his decision to veto the bill, which he believed damaged the rights of consumers. The bill said paint manufac turers can't be sued under public nuisances laws. which some U.S. cities have used to try to force companies to help pay for the removal of leadbased paint in older homes. The federal government banned lead• paint in 1978 after studies showed that children who eat or breathe flaking paint or dust could suffer potentially severe health problems, including brain damage. A provision in the bill also capped a consumer's noneconomic damages - such as pain and suffering, mental distress and emotional distress - at $5,000. The provision was aimed at consumers who sue any kind of company for unfair or deceptive sales practices. A coalition of business groups - including the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Manufacturers' Association - supported the bill. Thursday, March Produce may be linked to chemical in residents near DuPont plant Bv RACHEL HOAG ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITE R COLUMBUS Consuming high amounts of locally grown produce was among the factors that caused higher levels of a chemical used to make Teflon in the blood of residents living in a southeastern Ohio water district, a researcher said Wednesday. Residents participating in a study to measure levels of ammonium perfluorooctannate, also known as PFOA and CH, live in Washington County's Little Hocking Water Association . The area is across the Ohio River from DuPont Inc.'s Washington Works Plant ncar Parkersburg. W.Va. , which uses C8. The first round of research indicated people who ate more garden vegetables or fruits had elevated levels of C8 in their blood, but other factors. notably the amount of water consumed and the subject's age, had a greater impact, said Dr. Edward Emmett of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, who is conducting the study . with a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Studies. "(Produce) was much less important than those other factors, but we could see it," he said. "It's more difficult however to know what it means because there are a number of possible e~plana­ tions as to why we would have seen that." The study reviewed blood samples taken from 378 residents of the water association, which serves about 12,000 people and is in March on charges ot'falsificat ion and tampering with records. A special prosecutor said McGuire lied on his application and resume about his rank, position, duties, responsibilities and salary in three of his previous jobs. McGuire was hired as chief of this northwest Ohio city a year ago. The union that represents Fostoria police officers and dispatchers fi led a lawsuit challenging McGuire's hiring. Murray said asking that the police dog, Rocko, show up m court at an evidence hearing is a key to discrediting McGuire, who took part in a traffic stop and search in October that resulted in drug possession charges against Clifford Green of Fostoria. Both McGuire and Rocko. who is listed as John I. Rocko on his diploma, are graduates of Concordia College and University, according to copies of diplomas that are part of Murray's motion. The court filing did not say how the attorney knows that diploma is for the dog or how Rocko allegedly managed to enroll in the college. "My client had absolutely nothing to do with any animal getting a degree from an institution of hi~her learning," said McGutre's attorney, Dean Henry. "The whole thing is bizarre." He said the dog was with the department before McGuire began working there. Seneca County Prosecutor Ken Egbert said he will ask the judge to deny the request and limit the hearing to matters that are relevant. • of Arizona, and Cindy and Rick Clayton of Arizona.

We really are ideal for each other. We are in love, and it all seems too gooJ to be true . The problem is that I'm the first person Bonnie has dated since she separmed from her husband six ye.ars ago. She caters to her kids. and they are e~tremely spoiled. Her 16-year, old daughter refuses· to make her own food or clean her room. She won't even gel herself a drink of water. She'll call out to her mother, and Bonnie will get her the water just so she'll stop complaining. The 13-yearold is a mama's boy. Neither child will accept me, even though we' ve never formally met. They refuse to allow their mother to be happy and want her home w11h them . Bonnie has met my kids, and they like and respect her. Do I let her children's immaturity ruin our relationship. or do I stick it out'! People tell me . it's just that the kids are teenagers. but I don't think so. My children are exactly the same ages and don' t behave that way. What do I do?- Lo.~t in New York Dear Lost: Unless Bonnie demands some respect and consideration from her children, she will not get it and neither will you. Bonnie may believe such coddling is a form of love, but in reality, she is being a lazy parent. It's hard work to properly discipline children and teach them how to be independent, mature, responsible adults, and it's so much easier to ~ive in and give up, but she ts doing them no favors. If you want to stick it out, that's up to you, but it will be an uphill battle withoill Bonnie's cooperation.

Thought for Today: "No man ever made a great speech on a mean subject." - Attributed to Eugene V. Debs, American socialist leader (1855-1926). BY RACHEL BECK NEW YORK - A bullish complacency among investors worldwide carne to a sudden halt this week after Alan Greenspan spoiled the fun by warning of a ~ible U.S. economic recesston later this year. In a matter of hours, his forecast wreaked havoc on global share prices. Chinese stocks plunged 9 percent from record levels in their worst session in a decade and U.S. markets suffered their biggest declines in years. Some of what spooked inyestors was the former Federal Reserve chairman's change in tone. Until recently, he had been adding some froth to the big gains in stocks by giving an upbeat econom- · ic outlook and downplaying the risks from declining growth. That positive view seems to be histocy - unless he flipflops agam. It has been lllOI'e than a year since Greenspan left the helm of the Fed after an I 8year tenure. and he now runs a consulting fmn that bears his name. But that doesn't mean he has shied away from the spotlight. He still publicly voices his views on economic trends, and what he says certainly carries weight in financial markets. That was clear this week when Greenspan warned that the current six-year economic expansion is in danger of ---· -·... .. - ex!?,iring by year's end. 'When you get this far away from a recession, invariably forces build up for the next recession. and indeed we are beginning to see that sign," Greenspan said via satellite link to a business conference in Hong Kong. "For example in the U.S., profit margms ... have begun to stabilize, which is an early sign we are in the later stages of a cycle." Investors weren't expecting such a bearish view from Greenspan, who has stressed in recent months that strong profit margins and capital spending are signs of good times to come. He also has repeatedly noted that the "woot is behind us" in the economic impact of the housing market slump. Greenspan also has downplayed the recessionary link to the invened yield cwve, which happens when interest rates on longer-term U.S. Treasury notes fall below those of the overnight federal funds rate and shon-term Treasury bills. Even though major financial troubles have historically followed such inversions. many economists now have brushed off ties between the two around even though the cwve has been invened for months. But this week. Greenspan sang a new tune - "recession"- and that was enough to send some investors running for the first time in a long while. There hasn't been anything in recent months that could ranle stocks significantly. Investors have chosen to focus on the mergers and acquisition boom. the pu]Jback in oil jrices that have somewhat tempered intlationary risks and some healthy economic data - and discounted mos1 everything else. And as the rally in U.S. markets that be~an last July has shown no Sign of slowing, lllOI'e investors wanted to take pan. Before Thesday's sell-off, the Dow Jones industrial average had soared 19 percent in the last eight months to a reconl high. while the broader-martel Standard & Poor's 500 index had jumped 18 percent to six-year highs since July. Now many market-players are taking a step back, at least for a moment. Stocks on Thesday had their worst day of trading since markets reopened after the Sept. II, 2001 , terrorist attacks. Greenspan's remarl<s also panicked global investors, who worry about a cooling of both the U.S. and Chinese economies. A day after sending Shanghai's Composite Index to a record, the benchmark index tumbled 8.8 percent for its largest decline since Feb. 18. 1997. But there may be something positive in Oreene:t:r's warning. Investor.; a bit of an attitude adjustment, and he jump-started the process. It's not that the outlook ahead is all gloom. but since many market participants have gotten caught up in their buying spree, they've overlooked some potential concerns. While the U.S. economy grew at a surprisingly strong 3.5 percent annual rate in the founh quarter of 2006, a survey released Monday by the National Association for Business Economics showed. that expens predict economic growth of 2.7 percent this year, the slowest rate since a 1.6 percent rise in 2002. The Commerce Department on Tuesday reported demand for big-ticket manufactured goods fell by a sharper-than-expected 7.8 percent in January, the biggest drop in three months. And the housing market remains in a tough spot. especially given the recent implosion in subprime mongages, with a realty group reponing that average selling prices for existing homes fell last month. Investors might not see it this way now, but Greenspan's warning might actually belp them in the end. That could happen if it gives his successor, current Fed Chairman Ben Bemanke, the opponunity to save the day.by cutting interest rates to offset potential weakness. While that wasn't the direction the Fed has seemed to be leaning, it surely is what investors want. DOES THE 'FOREVER' STAMP SUGGEST 'WHENEVER' DEUVERY?

Exactly as Cheney. unconstrained by mature leadership in the Oval Office, has subverted U.S. foreign policy to his own Machiavellian ends. Remember when they assured us of Cheney's "gravitas," and told us the adults were in charge? The PlametW'ilson affair dramatizes the whole sick process in miniature: twisting intelligence to manufacture a nonexistent threat, leaking it to gullible repooers themselves preoccupied with insider starus. · then, as the scheme threatened to unravel, turning the same apparatus against a whistleblower and his wife for revenge.. .

Maybe we'd be better off rotating the nation's capital at intervals among the 50 states. Let Piem:, SD.. take a tum, or Montpelier, Vt Did Cheney commit a crime by ordering Plarne 's coven identity leaked, supposedly to embarrass her husband? Maybe not. The vice president's authorized to declassify secrets. But that won't protect him from the civil lawsuit the couple has flied. Did Cheney obstruct justice by participating in the alleged cover-up? There were tantalizing hints prosecutors may think so. But that will have to await the jury's verdict. Meanwhile, America's Crazy Uncle Dick ranged the wide world. putting the full scope of his upside-down, paranoid world-view on display. How do you suppose China liked being lectured about its unseemly military buildup? The United States currently spends more on weapons than the rest of the world, combined. China •s military budget is a tiny fraction of ours. How about the chief architect of the Iraq disaster chastising other countries for insufficient dedication to the cause? From Australia, Cheney scolded Democrats. "What happens if we withdraw from Iraq?" be asked "... AI Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will 'That's their fundamental underlying stralegy. that if they can kill e:; ·n chaos in Iraq, then we quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of AI Qaeda." In reality, as James Fallows pointed out in Atl;mtic Monthly: ·~Documents captured after 9111 showed that bin Laden hoped to provoke the United States into an invasion and occupation that would entail all the complications that have arisen in Iraq. His only error was to think that the place where Americans would get stuck would be Afghanistan. "Bin Laden also hoped that such an entrapment would drain the United States financially. Many AI Qaeda 'documents refer to the imponance of sapping American economic strength as a step toward reducing America's ability to throw its weight around in the Middle East." Perennially anxious about proving their "toughness," Cheney and the lle(X,'Ons live in a world of illusion. Now comes word via Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker that in an effon to counter the intluence of Shiite Iran - itself empowered by U.S. removal of its enemies Saddam Hussein and the Taliban - the administration's secretly arming Sunni militias friendly to AI Qaeda in Lebanon and elsewhere. The folly and incoherence of this scheme simply cannot be overstated. Needless to say, Hersh repons. it's all coordinated out of Qleoey's olftce. · (ArfdH.!w lkmocmtGazette columnist Gene Lyons is a national magazine award winner wrd co-author of "T/uo Huming of the President'' (St. Martin's Press. 2000).

W.Va. - Ever wanted to experience lite down on the fann? Visitors to Mason County will have that chance this year when the local tourism board begins otl'ering tours dedicated to promoting the area's rich agricultural heritage. · During the Feb. 15 meeting of the Mason County Convention and Visitors Bureau, members were updated on the expansion of this summer's tours, which will be offered to guests of the riverboats and buses that annually visit the area during the sum mer and fall months. According to Denny Bellamy. CVB chairman, the new tour will be the county's official leap into agricultural tourism. or agritourism, and visitors in the past always have expressed interest in seeing working farms up close. This summer, they' II get their first chance. Billed as an opportunity to see "Life on the Farms," visitors will see the West Virginia State Farm Museum and Old Town Valley Farm as part of a 31/2 hour tour designed to introduce guests to the area's agricultural heritage. Bellamy said although farming is a natural way of life for many people in Mason County. people from out of town rarely have the opportunity to experience life down on the farm. Although visitors in the past have received tours of the farm museum, the tour will be expanded this year to include the Old Town Valley Farm, which is located just outside Point Ple.a~a.nt and is owned by Paul and Agnes Simon. The farm is the original homestead of the family of Col. Charles Lewis, who died during the Battle of Point· Pleasant, and is one of the oldest farms in the Ohio Valley. The farm derived its name from the Shawnee village that predated it, and a replica of the village stands near the original settlement. For generations, the farm was the largest dairy farm in the state, and Bellamy said visitors to the farm now will see a historical and fully functioning cattle farm specializing in registered Black Angus. The farm also includes the Lewis Mansion , which was erected in 1866 and is home to many historical artifacts of the Lewis family. Bellamy added that public tours of the farm are not yet available. RIO GRANDE - A new exhibit at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College features the work of an oUt!itanding photographer and artist from the region. The display. which features the photographic work of Raymond Lane of Athens, is open to the public through March II. Lane is a talented photographer who took a unique path on his road to becoming an artist. "He taught physics at Ohio University for his whole career," said Jim Allen, chair of the School of Fine and Performing Arts at Rio Grande. "He wanted to explore the right side of his brain, so he got into photography and really loved it." Not only did Lane love photography, but he found that people enjoy his .work. The show currently on display in the Greer Museum is "Maturity Celebrated." Many of the images in the exhibit feature Lane's wife. "They are all black and white and they are all figure studies," Allen explained. : The images are very interesting to look at, and they provide depth and meanin~ . They images show Lane s work and dedication, as well has his artistic talent. " I was really impressed with his work," Allen added, He also is pleased to find an artist of Lane's caliber living nearby. Rio Grande has a long. positive relationship with Ohio University, and Allen said he was pleased to bring the. artistic work of an OU professor to Rio Grande. "La't year he visited a · photography class at Rio Grande and spoke with them," Allen said. "I really enjoy Raymond Lane and his work." Lane's show followed the Rio Grande Faculty Show in the Greer Museum, which featured the work of Alien and Rio Grande faculty members Kevin Lyles and Benjamin Davis. That show is now being exhibited at Shawnee State University. The next exhibit for the Greer Museum will feature the work of artist Annette Gaspers. Her show, which will open on March 19, will feature print and fabric hangings. Gasper is an OU graduate student studying printmaking and she also teaches part-time at Rio Grande. After the Gaspers show concludes, the senior an students at Rio Grande will present the annual senior class show. Finally. the last two weeks of the semester will the feature the annual student show in the Greer Museum. This exhibit will showcase the artwork that Rio Grande students complete throughout the year. The Greer Museum is open from I to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, and admission is free.

(AP) - Adam Dunn got to see up close what all the excitement is about. "Right out of the chute, 1 have to face Homer Bailey," the Reds outlielder said jokingly after facing the club's star pitching prospect in an intrasquad game Wednesday. Bailey was pitching to batters for the first time out of the batting cages in the Reds spring training camp. The scrimmage was won 1-0 by "Ed's Reds" over "Russell's Muscles." At age 20, Bailey has raised Reds' hopes high for a future in their starting rotation. The club's lirst draft choice in 2004, he was 7-1 with a 1.59 ERA last year at Double-A Chattanooga after being promoted from Class-A Sarasota in June . The Reds say they won't rush him, and want him to develop and command his curve and changeup. " I rushed a little bit with my fastball and got it up ." said Bailey, who allowed one htt and walked Dunn in one shutout inning. "l think all of my offspeed pitches were either hit or were strikes." Bailey can throw fastballs in the upper 90s. 'T mas curious as anyone to see how he does," Dunn said. ''I'm impressed. He' s so smooth. 1 fouled a ball off, and the last half of the pitch got on me so fast. "He threw a good changeup. He looked good." Dunn said, adding: ''I'm on the ljandwagon." Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo lead the Reds' rotation. also likely to include Eric Milton and Kyle Lohse. Bailey is expected to stan the season in Triple-A Louisville. but that could change if the 6-4 right-hander has an exceptional spring that shows he has mastered his offspeed pitches.

BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS Edg,c;_rrin James left Indianapolis last spring and signed with Arizona, presumably a big blow to the Colts and a big lift for the Cardinals . So Indy won the Super Bow 1 and Arizona linished at its normal 5-ll. James averaged 3.4 yards a carry and rookie Joseph Addai combined with Dominic Rhodes to run for 1, 722 yards for the Colts, 98 more than James and Rhodes had combined in 2005.

"That's the decision that was made." The Bills are a bit unique and their reluctance to pay Clements - believed to be asking for about $18 million guaranteed - is a sign of the high revenue/low rev enue split in the NFL. Buffalo is at the bottom of that divide and Levy says it would have to budget for Clements upfront money for one season instead of amortizing it over six. years the way almost every one else will do.

Wainwright , who closed out the St. Louis Cardinals' World Serie s win . in October, opened his bid for a job in his team 's rebuilt rotation with three hitless innings Wednesduy in a 6-3 victory over the Florida Marlins. Wainwright earned the win on .the first day of ex hibition play between major league teams. He walked one and fell behind several other batters at Jupiter, Fla. But he still needed only 30 pitches - 15 strikes - to get through the first three innings, facing I0 batters. "I did some things well to get some first-pitch outs, .but I did a lot of things I'll need to improve on," he said. "A ll in all it was a good first time." Manager Tony La Russa agreed. "I thought he was great," La Russa said. "He was impressive, just the way he has been since the first day he started throwing down here. I mean, he wants that job." Wainwright will likely be a starter this season, unless closer Jason lsringhausen has a setback in his rehabilitation from hip surgery. Wainwright filled in for an injured lsringhausen last October, allowed no earned run in 9 2-3 postseason innings and saved the clinching games against the New York Mets in the NL championship series and the Detroit Tigers in the World Series. "It feels like three days away," Wainwright said. "No offseason - I spent a lot of time with these guys. But at the same time, my thinking was it was a mil· lion years away. I'm really trying to forget about that. " I feel I haven't proved anything yet. I have to prove myself all over again as a starteL Hopefully I can pers uade some of these guys I'm going to do all right."

(AP)- It's easy to see why Cleveland Indians pitching coach Carl Willis has <1 smile on his face these days. When Willis walks the sun ·drenched lields at the team's spring training complex, he sees staff ace C.C. Sabathia, who has won 81 games in six major lea~ue seasons, throwing battmg practice . Standing_ nearby waiting his turn to throw is Jeremy Sowers, who went 74 and threw two shutouts last season after being called up from the minors in late June . On another lield throwing to hitters is Jake Westbrook. 44-34 the last three seasons. Throwing bullpen sessions. a few steps away are Cliff Lee, who has 46 wins the last three years, and Paul Byrd, a steady veteran with an 82-73 career record. The Indians head into the 2007 season with questions about their bullpen, defense and tough competition in the AL Central. Unlike many teams, however, the Indians aren't worried about their rotation. "It"s a tremendous situation for us," Willis said. "'We're really excited. I believe our No. I asset is our starting pitching." Cleveland's starters compiled the third best ERA (4.31) in the league last season and had a 62-5 7 record. The starters tinbhed second with 1,000 2-3 innings pitched. "'We have a good mix here,"' said Westbrook., 1510 with a 4. 17 ERA last sea- Thursday, March 1, 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com son. "We have guys who can move the ball around, throw strikes and who know how to pitch. Each guy will bring something different. We also have three left-banders (Sahathia, Lee and Sowers). That's always a big plus." While many teams spend spring training scrambling to 1111 out their rotation, the Indians can already arrange things for the regular season. Sabathia, 12-1 1 with a 3.22 ERA in 2006, will pitch the season in opener in Chicago on April 2. Westbrook said he' ll pitch the second game of the season. The rotation is a blend of youth and experience. At 36, Byrd is the only starter over 30. Sabathia, in the majors since 200 I. is just 26> Westbrook and Lee are 29 and 28. respectively, while Sowers, 24, is in his third year of pro ball. "The veterans here have been a big help to me," said Sowers, who had a 3.57 ERA last f season. ''I've learned a lJt from them." Durability has been another key to the rotation's success. The five returnees made 85 percent of the team's starts last season Lee (33), Westbrook (32 ), Byrd (31 ), Sahathia (28), and Sowers ( 14). Veteran Jason Johnson, traded when Sowers was called up, also made 14. Sabathia has been the only starter to miss time the last two seasons . He missed most of last April with a pulled muscle in his side. Should there be an injury, the Indians have depth in the minors. Right-banders Fausto Carmona and Adam Miller, the top two pitching prospects in the organization, will begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo. 0 Ll on the :- numberof Bingo Cords can 'Pro Athletes Gone Wild?' Not exactly BY JtM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS If you read nothing but the spurts pages, it's easy to believe there \ a crime spree in progre'S. Nine players from one NFL team, the Cincinnati Bengals, arrested since the stan pf the 2005 season. One player. the . Broncos' D~rrent Williams, ~illed in a drive-by shooting on New Year's Eve leaving a nightclub in downtown Denver. Another, Titans cornerba~k Adam "Pacman" · Jones, questioned about a triple shooting - as a witness, his attorney insisted, not a sus'pect - at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA\ AllStar weekend. And yet another, the Falcons Jonathan Babineaux, charged with felony animal cruelty in the death of his girlfriend's dug. Not to be outdone, NBA 'players union chief Billy Hunter surveyed the wreckage left behind by the league's All-Star weekend 400-plus arrests, though the lion's share were for prostitution - and wondered aloud the other night whether New Orleans had the stomach and enough cops to play host to the same show next year. Las Vegas. after all. reportedly beefed up the number of otlicers who work overtime for special events from 150 to 1,000 to deal with the crush of posses and wannabes attmcted by the NBA circus, and barely managed to hold its own. "I'm wondering, how will New Orleans accommodate all these people if they elect to come to New Orleans?" Hunter told Newsday. "They'll shut the city down." Everybody, take a deep breath. Relax . There's no need to hide the women and children next time a fro team comes to town. I it's any comfort, you're still three times more likely to get mugged, offered drugs or solicited hy somebody living within a few miles of home than anybody who plays in the NFL or NBA. Not to be glib about it, but that's the way Richard Lapchick views the reported crime spree, and he knows a thing or two about athletes. As director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at University of Central Florida, he's been crunching numbers regarding professional and college players since the mid-1990s. "What we've seen since then is about I00 athletes a year, on average, arrested for violence against a woman and 75 for some form of recreational drugs. So roughly three times a week, you pick up a paper or watch TV, see something like that, and it creates an impression in peo- pie's minds that there', a pattern. "It's just not true," Lapchick s_aid. He concedes exact comparisons are.hard to come by, be<:ause the institute tracks only a handful of crimes by athletes . But Lapchick is confident the ratio of 3-to-1 , hased largely on the number of athletes arrested on domestic violence and drug charg~s versus those in the general population, is a reliab le rule of thumb . The amount of publicity generated by the athletes' arrests, ronversely, is 10-to-1 or 100to- 1. " I don't mean to diminish the scnousness of any crimes, but the way I'd frame it is this: There are some athletes who definitely have a problem: but athletes are nut THE problem." You wouldn't know that, though, from all the public hand-wringing of late. Last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, players as~ociation chief Gene Upshaw, two owners, two league otlicials, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis and 10 players met at the scouting combine in Indianapolis and discussed a '"three strikes and you're out" policy that would ban players for life after a third conviction. 'The percentage of players involved in this is very, very low," Upshaw said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. ·'But there's a perception out there and the problems are real." The encouraging thing is that it's the players who talked about putting teeth in the league's personal-conduct policy instead of the higher-ups. The truth is Goodell has talked long and loud about disciplinary problems. but the fines and sus· pensions meted out hy the clubs and the league have varied from case to case. Some clubs have tried to protect themselves by not handing out big signing bOnuses to draft choices who arrive trailing a rap sheet from their college days; the Titans probably wish they'd thought of that with Pacman Jones. But even Upshaw conceded every team treats its stars dillerent from the backups. The Bears' 1'ank Johnson, for example, was arrested late last season on gun-possession charges, his third arrest in 18 months . Then two days later, Johnson went to a nightclub, · whery his bodyguard was shot and killed. His punishment: a one-game suspension. So standardizing the crime-and-punishment policy would be a good first step, especially since the players would have input. But it's important for the leagues to do that in a deliberate way, with a realistic grasp of the problem, instead of simply slapping something together to get the critics off their backs. N BA commissioner David Stem is resisting the temptation to do just that. A day after Hunter threatened to sue the league if he felt his players' safety would be jeopardized in New Orleans, Stem made sure the league and the players union reiterated their commitment to the city. He knows the dollars that AllStar weekend pours into a beleaguered town will help fight way more crime than his players, behaving at their worst, could possibly cause. "'The reports we have received about other major events and conventions recently held in New Orleans have been very positive," the commissioner said in a statement, "and we fully expect All-Star 2008 to be a great success." · With H&R Block, you have more than a company behind you.
