Humidity and wind conditions kept the pollution from dispersing, but the air during the four-day drill would have been much worse without the vehicle restrictions, said Du Shaozhong, the deputy director of the Chinese capital's Environmental Protection Bureau. "The test was successful. These four days the wind speed was slow, while the humidity and temperature were high," Du told reporters, noting that a gray sky doesn't necessarily mean pollution is bad. . Air pollution has emerged as a key problem for Beijing as ir gears up for the Olympics, to be held Aug. 8-24, 2008. Jammed traffic and the possibility of political protests by critics of the communist regime are also concerns, although venue construction is firmly on schedule. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge warned during. a visit this month that the competition schedule might have to be juggled on days when pollution was particularly bad. . The government's own statistics showed that the air quality during the test rated among the top 10 Reds fromPageBl The Braves have gone only 19-18 since the AllStar break and lost four games . in the standings . . They lead the NL in road battmg average, but weren't able to make another big night by the offense hold up. Phillips had three hits, and Jorge Cantu drove in three runs with a double and single, helping the Reds overcome deficits of 3-0 and 7-5. Cantu was traded to the Reds from Tampa Bay on July 19 and was called up from the minors on Monday after Jeff Conine was traded to the Mets. "'I'm starting over," Cantu said. "The past is the past. Let's leave it like that. A fresh start is always a good thing. I even told my dad when I got traded, I feel like I'm breathing better. Now, here we go." Tribe from PageBl with that pitch was pretty special stuff," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. Carmona (14-8) gave up only three hits in eight innings. He struck out five and walked none. "What gets lost in this game is Carmona was fantastic," .Leyland said. "The guys were remarking that his stuff was tremendous." Zumaya also was pretty good, pttching for the first time since May I. He threw in the high 90s and retired the only batter he faced. He had been on the disabled list with a ruptured tendon in his ri~ht mtddle finger. "It's mce to see that name in the lineup card," Leyland said. "I wanted to get him in and out. It was perfect." Fernando Rodney pitched a hitless eighth and Todd Jones worked a perfect ninth for his 32nd save in 37 chances. Detroit' s defense helped Jurrjens all night. Second baseman Placido Polanco, who missed the P.revious six games with an •Illness, wa·s in perfect position - shallow right field - to catch Travis Hafner's liner in the second inning.

The traffic ban removed 1.3 million private vehicles from the capital's perpetually gridlocked streets each day. Additional buses and subways were added !\S residents turned '' to public transportation, car pools and taxis. Cars with even-numbered license plates were ordered off roads Friday and Sunday, and vehicles with odd-numbered plates were banned Saturday and Monday. Emergency vehicles, taxis, buses and other public-service vehicles were exempt. Organizers of the Beijing games bave not said exactly what they will do to reduce traffic and emissions during the 2008 Olympics , but they are expected to employ something similar to the scheme just tested. Vehicle restrictions are expected to be more . elaborate, with special bus lanes are to be set up for athletes and officials. Beijing had an air pollution index of between 93 and 95 during the test days, the city's environmental protection bureau said on its Web site. According to the State Environmental Protection Agenpy, an index below I 00 indicates excellent or good condi·tions. "As the air quality during these four days reached the national standard, it was fit for all activities, including sports ;" Du said . the index hit 116 Tuesday after the test and was II~ on Aug. 16- the day before the trial began, surname as Li.

Brian McCann led the Braves with a two-run homer off starter Bobby Livingston, who gave up seven runs in only 4 2-3 innings. McCann had a grand slam in the opening game of the series at Great American Ball Park, where he is 15-for-32 career with five homers. There were plenty of hits to go around in this one. Mark Teixeira singled home a run in the first inning to get it going , extending his tear since he joined the Braves in a seven-player swap with Texas on July 31. The first baseman has driven in a run in 14 of his 19 games with Atlanta, piling up 26 RB!s overall. Braves left-bander Jo-Jo Reyes, called up from Triple-A to start the game, tasted only 2 2-3 innings. The Reds scored five times in the third, when Reyes walked three batters to set the rally in motion. Cantu 's two-run double made it 5-3. Reyes implied that plate umpire Gerry Davis had a small strike zone that contributed to his problems. ·"I felt good out there today," Reyes said. "I threw the pitches I wanted to thro~.

Phillips hit a solo homer off Ron Matlay in the fifth, and Cantu singled home another run to tie it at 7 later in the inning. Phillips broke the tie an inning later with his single to right field - Jeff Francoeur threw Jeff Keppinger out at the plate as he tried to score from .deep into the shortstop hole to make a backhand stop and rob Blake of a hit with an off-balance throw after Kenny Lofton walked and stole a base. "That was a great baseball ~me," Leyland said. "I guess it's easy for me to say that because we won."

ANNIE'S MAILBOX Sensitive son needs male role model BY KATHY MncHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am a divorced 45-year-old woman ~th · a 12,year-old ,son."· "J?hilip" gets straight Ns and is· involved in sports and niusic, but I don't want Philip td 'gi'OW up to be a "mama's b(ly." I've noticed he's very sensitive (which I think he's lmed by observing me). It's OK for a girl to be that way, bui not so much a boy. I would really like him to become more thick-skinned. :A kid pushed him on the b~seball field, and when r told him he had a right to defend himself, he stated that the other kids wouldn't Jet him. He then ran to the car in tears. I'm assuming it WJI.S frustration. :1 contacted his father and informed; him that Philip nee\ls a good male inlluence iti his life. My ex, however, is restricted from seeing our son due to a history of violt:nce toward us. And Philip informed me that his father was recently arrested for DUI. AnY.I'iay, I told my ex that I'd ltke him to treat his son with respect - no ver· bal. mental, emotional or pbysical abuse. He said he would. Our current agreement is for Philip to spend orie-on-one time with his f~ther for a couple of hours ea,ch week dunng the day (Iiefore the drinking starts), so our son has adult male companionship. .[ have no male friends I can trust to take on this responsibility, nor are there any Big Brother groups in my small town . Family members live ·six hours away. My church is four states &vyay. I don't want my son to be so sensitive in such a tough world. What other options are out there? - Perplexed Single Mom Dear ferplexed: Having a sensitive son is not a bad thing, and we wouldn't push Philip too hard to be tough. With a father who has modeled abusive behavior, that approach could backfire. Instead, encourage whaijlver talents he has. You might be able to find a m* mentor for Philip through his school. your job, the local civic organizations or the library. Consider joining a church closer to home.

Dear Annie: I recently held a birthday party for my son on a local train. The invitation indicated I would pick up· the cost of the train ride for the invitees, and although the children's par· ents were welcome to join, they would have to pay their own way. I requested an RSVP 10 days prior to the party date, as I needed an exact count and had to put up a 50 percent deposit. One family RSVP' d that botb their children would be atte,pding, as well as the father. On the day of the party. they did not show up, nor did they bother to call. We held up the train while I phoned to see if they were coming, and was told one son had gotten scared about riding the train and didn't want tO go. The train did not allow refunds for no-shows. Is it wrong to ask for my out-of-pocket expense for their tickets? - Miffed in Michigan Dear Miffed: This was rude. but not intentionally so. The father should offer to reimburse you for the extra expense, but planning extravaganzas for children's parties is always risky, and you must allow for the cost of no-shows. Sorry. Dear Annie: Losing your hair is difficult. Having to wear a wig is a challenge. Having people ask if you are wearing a wig is insulting. I am going through chemotherapy and have chosen to keep it private. I can still do my job and don't want my career to suffer. Losing my hair is a pretty good trade-off for the alternative. Why would anyone feel the need to ask if I am wearing a wig? Please tell your readers that this shows poor manners. -Wigged One Dear Wigged One: If your wig is quite different in color and style from your natural hair, that' may be what is provoking the questions. Still; it doesn't make it less rude, and you are not obligated to respond. Annie's Mailbox is writ· ten by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

I've noticed he's very sensitive (which I think he's lmed by observing me). It's OK for a girl to be that way, bui not so much a boy. I would really like him to become more thick-skinned. :A kid pushed him on the b~seball field, and when r told him he had a right to defend himself, he stated that the other kids wouldn't Jet him.

My ex, however, is restricted from seeing our son due to a history of violt:nce toward us. And Philip informed me that his father was recently arrested for DUI. AnY.I'iay, I told my ex that I'd ltke him to treat his son with respect - no ver· bal. mental, emotional or pbysical abuse. He said he would. Our current agreement is for Philip to spend orie-on-one time with his f~ther for a couple of hours ea,ch week dunng the day (Iiefore the drinking starts), so our son has adult male companionship. .[ have no male friends I can trust to take on this responsibility, nor are there any Big Brother groups in my small town .

What other options are out there? - Perplexed Single Mom Dear ferplexed: Having a sensitive son is not a bad thing, and we wouldn't push Philip too hard to be tough. With a father who has modeled abusive behavior, that approach could backfire. Instead, encourage whaijlver talents he has. You might be able to find a m* mentor for Philip through his school. your job, the local civic organizations or the library. Consider joining a church closer to home.

Dear Annie: I recently held a birthday party for my son on a local train. The invitation indicated I would pick up· the cost of the train ride for the invitees, and although the children's par· ents were welcome to join, they would have to pay their own way. I requested an RSVP 10 days prior to the party date, as I needed an exact count and had to put up a 50 percent deposit. One family RSVP' d that botb their children would be atte,pding, as well as the father. On the day of the party. they did not show up, nor did they bother to call. We held up the train while I phoned to see if they were coming, and was told one son had gotten scared about riding the train and didn't want tO go. The train did not allow refunds for no-shows. Is it wrong to ask for my out-of-pocket expense for their tickets? - Miffed in Michigan Dear Miffed: This was rude. but not intentionally so. The father should offer to reimburse you for the extra expense, but planning extravaganzas for children's parties is always risky, and you must allow for the cost of no-shows. Sorry. Dear Annie: Losing your hair is difficult. Having to wear a wig is a challenge. Having people ask if you are wearing a wig is insulting. I am going through chemotherapy and have chosen to keep it private. I can still do my job and don't want my career to suffer. Losing my hair is a pretty good trade-off for the alternative. Why would anyone feel the need to ask if I am wearing a wig? Please tell your readers that this shows poor manners. -Wigged One Dear Wigged One: If your wig is quite different in color and style from your natural hair, that' may be what is provoking the questions. Still; it doesn't make it less rude, and you are not obligated to respond. Annie's Mailbox is writ· ten by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Today's Higlilight in History: On Aug. 23, 1927, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Banolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. (Fifty years later, on this date in 1977, Mass. Gov. Michael S. Dukakis proclaimed that "any stigma and disgrace should be forever removed" from their names.) On this date: In 1754, France's King Louis the XVI was born at Versailles. In 1775, Britain's King George lli proclaimed the American colonies in a state of "open and avowed rebellion." In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World Warl. · In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in Moscow. In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein U died in Doylestown, Pa., at age 65. In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostage standoff began in Stockholm, Sweden; by the time the crisis ended, the four hostages had come to empathize with their captors, an occurrence that came to be known as "Stockholm S)'ndrome." · In 1982, Lebanon's parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.) In 1989, in a case that inflamed racial tensions in New York City, Yusuf Hawkins, a 16-year-old black youth, was shot dead after he and his friends were coufronted by white · youths ·in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Ten years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Bill Clinton said he would ask Congress to renew his authority for speedy negotiation of trade. agreements, saying the "fast track" approach was needed to make U.S. companies more competitive worldwide. Five years ago: North Korean leader Ki·m Jong II made his second visit to Russia in a year, meeting with President Vladimir Putin in VladivoStok. New York publicist Lizzie Grubman pleaded guilty in a hit-and-run crash that injured 16 people outside a Hamptons nightclub. (Grubman ended up serving 37 days of a 60-day sentence at the Suffolk County, N.Y., jail, with time off for good behavior.)' One year ago: A previously unknown militant group released the frrst video of two kidnapped Fox Ne\\!S journalists. (Correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman O)afWiig were later freed.) The Citadel released the results of a survey in which almost 20 percent of female cadets reported being sexually assaulted since enrolling at the South Carolina military colle~e. Jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson died in Ventura, Calif., at age 78. Thought for Today: "All life is a concatenation of ephemeralities."- Alfred Kahn, American economist. BY ALAN FRAM AND TREVOR TOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS WASHINGTON Today 's young people have a comphcated relationship with money, dismissing it as a paramount source of happiness yet conceding its power over them. Money is nowhere near the top of the list when they are asked what makes them happiest. Friends and family are their chief pleasures, followed b~ God, pets and pastimes hke listening to music. But money can certainly help, accordmg to an extensive poll by The Associated Press and MTV. And a lack of it - and the pressures it can cause - can sure make their lives unhappy, The survey of the nation's young people found only I percent name money as the thing ~hat gives them the most JOy. Twenty percent name spending time with family, and 15 percent cited friends. Yet financial issues are among several J.>roblems atop the pile of thmgs they say make them most unhappy. And while a majority are happy with the amount of money they and their families have, money ranks as their founh-highe st source of stress, and 55 percent say there are many things they can't afford. "Our son wasn' t planned, · and we ' ve basically been scrambling since I got !.regnant," said Wendy Hil , 25, an employment coordinator from Worthington, Ohio, where ·she lives with her husband and son.

"If I don't get riCh I won't complain, but it's always nice to have money," · Further underscoring young people 's ambiguity, 49 percent say they would be happier if they had more money, but the exact same amount say additional money would leave them about as happy as they THIS MORNING'S' TRAFFIC REPORT FINDS A MAJOR &ACKUP ALONG 1-71, • dent from Lilburn, Ga. "I want a family and I want to make sure they can have whatever they need. I think about it a lot." Males are also likelier than females to say they want to be rich. Researchers h,ave long observed that money tends to mean more to men than women. ·"Traditionally, men ·are supposed LO be the breadwinner," said Jerald Bachman, a social psychology professor at the University of Michigan's Social Institute for Research. "For women that's not as central a part of the self-image. This breadwinner thing dies hard." Young people from the Nonheast seem the most pressured by financial uncertainty. They are likeliest to list it as their chief reason for being unhappy and their main source of stress. The least financially stressed are those from the West and Midwest. Young people from the highest-income families seem happier with life overall.

They are also likelier than lower-earning people to list it as their chief source of stress. Money worries increase with age in the survey, with four in 10 of those aged 21 to 24 cite it as their major problem - 20 times more than those aged 13 to 15.

There were no reports of deaths or serious injuries. State aid will be available, said Strickland, who viewed Findlay from a heli copter and saw entire sections of the city covered with water. "It' s devastating," he said. About five feet of water swamped stores downtown, the city 's hardest hit area. "This is the most widespread it's ever been," said Mayor Tony lriti. Four blocks from the . river, milk jugs, garbage bags and soda cans floated in the murky brown water. Water poured into basements and lapped at the foundations and porches. Tom Woods brought his 8-foot fishing boat from nearby Ri singsun to help float out stranded friends in the neighborhood. "Once we got here everybody asked us to rescue more people," he said.

Today's Higlilight in History: On Aug. 23, 1927, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Banolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. (Fifty years later, on this date in 1977, Mass. Gov. Michael S. Dukakis proclaimed that "any stigma and disgrace should be forever removed" from their names.) On this date: In 1754, France's King Louis the XVI was born at Versailles. In 1775, Britain's King George lli proclaimed the American colonies in a state of "open and avowed rebellion." In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World Warl. · In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in Moscow. In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein U died in Doylestown, Pa., at age 65. In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostage standoff began in Stockholm, Sweden; by the time the crisis ended, the four hostages had come to empathize with their captors, an occurrence that came to be known as "Stockholm S)'ndrome." · In 1982, Lebanon's parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.) In 1989, in a case that inflamed racial tensions in New York City, Yusuf Hawkins, a 16-year-old black youth, was shot dead after he and his friends were coufronted by white · youths ·in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Ten years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Bill Clinton said he would ask Congress to renew his authority for speedy negotiation of trade. agreements, saying the "fast track" approach was needed to make U.S. companies more competitive worldwide. Five years ago: North Korean leader Ki·m Jong II made his second visit to Russia in a year, meeting with President Vladimir Putin in VladivoStok. New York publicist Lizzie Grubman pleaded guilty in a hit-and-run crash that injured 16 people outside a Hamptons nightclub. (Grubman ended up serving 37 days of a 60-day sentence at the Suffolk County, N.Y., jail, with time off for good behavior.)' One year ago: A previously unknown militant group released the frrst video of two kidnapped Fox Ne\\!S journalists. (Correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman O)afWiig were later freed.) The Citadel released the results of a survey in which almost 20 percent of female cadets reported being sexually assaulted since enrolling at the South Carolina military colle~e. Jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson died in Ventura, Calif., at age 78. Thought for Today: "All life is a concatenation of ephemeralities."- Alfred Kahn, American economist. BY ALAN FRAM AND TREVOR TOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS WASHINGTON Today 's young people have a comphcated relationship with money, dismissing it as a paramount source of happiness yet conceding its power over them. Money is nowhere near the top of the list when they are asked what makes them happiest. Friends and family are their chief pleasures, followed b~ God, pets and pastimes hke listening to music. But money can certainly help, accordmg to an extensive poll by The Associated Press and MTV. And a lack of it - and the pressures it can cause - can sure make their lives unhappy, The survey of the nation's young people found only I percent name money as the thing ~hat gives them the most JOy. Twenty percent name spending time with family, and 15 percent cited friends. Yet financial issues are among several J.>roblems atop the pile of thmgs they say make them most unhappy. And while a majority are happy with the amount of money they and their families have, money ranks as their founh-highe st source of stress, and 55 percent say there are many things they can't afford. "Our son wasn' t planned, · and we ' ve basically been scrambling since I got !.regnant," said Wendy Hil , 25, an employment coordinator from Worthington, Ohio, where ·she lives with her husband and son. "It's very frustratin~ and causes a lot of strain.' · Many sense that down the road, money will have a telling impact on their lives, Asked to describe their ideal vision of happiness, · the most frequent responses are having no financial worries and a good family, each mentioned by one in five, "I want to have a family when I grow up and be able to support it," said IS-yearold Theresa Paoletti of Spencerport, N.Y., a college student battling money problems since getting a car two years ago. "If I don't get riCh I won't complain, but it's always nice to have money," · Further underscoring young people 's ambiguity, 49 percent say they would be happier if they had more money, but the exact same amount say additional money would leave them about as happy as they THIS MORNING'S' TRAFFIC REPORT FINDS A MAJOR &ACKUP ALONG 1-71, • dent from Lilburn, Ga. "I want a family and I want to make sure they can have whatever they need. I think about it a lot." Males are also likelier than females to say they want to be rich. Researchers h,ave long observed that money tends to mean more to men than women. ·"Traditionally, men ·are supposed LO be the breadwinner," said Jerald Bachman, a social psychology professor at the University of Michigan's Social Institute for Research. "For women that's not as central a part of the self-image. This breadwinner thing dies hard." Young people from the Nonheast seem the most pressured by financial uncertainty. They are likeliest to list it as their chief reason for being unhappy and their main source of stress. The least financially stressed are those from the West and Midwest. Young people from the highest-income families seem happier with life overall.

Wahama opens season with visiting Waterford BY GARY CLARK SPORTS CORRESPONDENT MASON, W.Va. - As the Wahama White Falcons prepare for its season opening football contest 7:30 p.m. Friday against visiting Waterford, a cloud of mystery surrounds a young Bend Area grid team. Graduation took a heavy toll on the Mason County team and as a result several new faces will be thrust into battle for the season opener. As many as five new faces are expected to get their first starting assignments with possibly another four players returning to their regular roles in the WHS lineup. A new quarterback, runningback and three linemen must be replaced in the White Falcons' list of regulars as veteran head coach Ed Cromley begins his 13th season at the Bend Area school. Seniors Derek Veazey (5- 2 foot-S, 170 pounds), Gabe Roush (6-1 , 170), Brent Jones (5-10, 190) anu Caleb Roach (5-7, 220) all return to c6mprise the nucleuS' of the 2007 edition of Wahama football with sophomore Micaiah Branch (5-8, 160) and junior Garrett Underwood (5-10, 160) adding to the list of returning regulars. Senior Josh Pauley (5-9, 170) and junior Trey Anderson (5-9, 170) also figure to be in the mix with remaining staners likely to come from a number of potential candidates. The season opening contest with Waterford will be the fourth meeting between the two schools with Wahama capturing the first two outings before the Wildcats handed the Bend Area team a stunning 12-0 defeat last year. .

Wahama opens season with visiting Waterford BY GARY CLARK SPORTS CORRESPONDENT MASON, W.Va. - As the Wahama White Falcons prepare for its season opening football contest 7:30 p.m. Friday against visiting Waterford, a cloud of mystery surrounds a young Bend Area grid team. Graduation took a heavy toll on the Mason County team and as a result several new faces will be thrust into battle for the season opener. As many as five new faces are expected to get their first starting assignments with possibly another four players returning to their regular roles in the WHS lineup. A new quarterback, runningback and three linemen must be replaced in the White Falcons' list of regulars as veteran head coach Ed Cromley begins his 13th season at the Bend Area school. Seniors Derek Veazey (5- 2 foot-S, 170 pounds), Gabe Roush (6-1 , 170), Brent Jones (5-10, 190) anu Caleb Roach (5-7, 220) all return to c6mprise the nucleuS' of the 2007 edition of Wahama football with sophomore Micaiah Branch (5-8, 160) and junior Garrett Underwood (5-10, 160) adding to the list of returning regulars. Senior Josh Pauley (5-9, 170) and junior Trey Anderson (5-9, 170) also figure to be in the mix with remaining staners likely to come from a number of potential candidates. The season opening contest with Waterford will be the fourth meeting between the two schools with Wahama capturing the first two outings before the Wildcats handed the Bend Area team a stunning 12-0 defeat last year. .

BY BRAD SHERMAN BSHERMAN@MVDAILVTRIBUNE.COM Brad Sherman/photo River Valley coach Gregg Deel watches .his linemen execute a blocking drill during the team's practice on Monday In Cheshire. Deel's Raiders play host to Southeastern Friday to kick-off the 2007 high school football season. .River Valley looks for another good start against Southeastern 8v BRAD SHERMAN straight in the series. A sixth straight would provide an all-important boost to start the season. "This is a team we've had success against · in the past and we need that 9uick start," admitted Dee!. ' (Our kids) have paid their dues, they've lined up as freshmen and sophomores and· we've had to play them whenever they should have been playing on Monday ni§hts. . 'And they've taken their lumps, they've stayed positive and they've worked hard for us. I told them this is a payday for them this Friday. It's a very, very imoortant football game for BSHERMAI'IOMVOAILVTRIBUNE.COM CHESHIRE - This has been River Valley's lone victory the past two season~. Hopefully for the Raiders, it s just the ftrst of many in 2007, which is supposed to be a turnaround season fQr the struggling program. The Southeastern Panthers, who· have had struggles of their own over the past few years, come to town on Friday as the new high school football season officially gets underway. Kick-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. For River Valley, its kids who were forced to play early as freshman . and sophomores are now upperclassmen, and coach Gregg Deel thinks this is the season that it will all start to come together for his club. The Raiders' journey starts Friday against a Southeastern team that they've had much success against - winning five us.'\'- It will be River Valley's ball-control, run heavy offense versus a Southeastern attack that utilizes the big play to move the football and score points. Deel's to~ priority is stopping those btg plays, as his club doesn't possess great speed. "Those kids have made big plays in both of their scrimmages, and that's probably the biggest concern for us. In our two scrimmages so far, we've given up the bjg play," he said. The two players to watch for Southeastern are quarterback Jordan Elam and running back Justin Hoffman. River Valley does own . a huge size advantage 'on the offensive and defensive lines. "I think, as . far as the match-up goes, if we're not able to successfully line up and move the football on the ground, then we're probably going to have some trouble," admitted Dee!. "If we can do that successfully, and don't give up the big play on defense, we'll be OK." River Valley is 2-18 over the past two years with both those wins coming at the expense of the Panthers. Southeastern has won just one.game over the last three .years. GALLIPOLIS - You'll see Shawn Thompson, Kruize Wandling and even Chris McCoy taking snaps .at quarterback for the Gallia Academy Blue Devils on Friday mght. But you won't see Jeff Golden. That's because the senior All-State signal caller injured his knee in a scrimmage with Portsmouth West last week, and he is likely lost for the entire 2007 high school football season. Golden is scheduled to meet with specialists today, when he should get a more definitive answer on the status of his injury. . What is certain, thpu~h , is that his Blue Devils wtll be without him tomorrow night when a tough Sheridan Generals team visits Memorial Field as the brand new season gets underway. Kick-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. Thompson, a senior, will get the start although coach Matt Bokovitz said that the sophomore Wandling will also get into the game in certain circumstances, and he may even . use tailback McCoy in some direct snap play ~. "We're going to mix it up ... it wiU be by committee a little bit," Bokovitz said. "Our kids know that they have to pick up the slack for US tO be as good as We Wanted to be in the beginning of the season. I think with the maturity level that we have on our team, I think we'll get that." · Gallia Academy was one of the preseason favorites to compete for the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League title, and the Blue Devils will be seeking their third straight playoff appearance. If the' Devils indeed have to go the entire season without their team captain, getling off to a good start on Friday because all the )llore imperative . Bokovitz has a lot of confidence in the seniors and juniors who have played a lot of football for him thus far, and he knows they'll meet the challenge. · . "Our kids will come out figtlting - I think I know them pretty well and they'll come out getting right after them," he said. "Are we going to make some mis. takes? Probably. But we're going to live with them and we're going to try and tum up the volume and play as hard as we can r,ossibly play for 48 minutes. ' . Sheridan has l)'lany of the same faces back from last year's meeting, a game the Blue Devils won 30-13. "They are a good first game football team, you talk about a good test, this is it," LAS VEGAS (AP) Once Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant warmed up, there was no way Venezuela could keep up. Anthony scored 17 points, Bryant added 14, and the Umted States rolled to a 112-69 victory Wednesday night in its opening game of the FIBA Americas tournament. Michael Redd also had 17 points, Amare Stoudemire scored 16 and Dwight Howard 12 for the Americans, who improved to 27-0 in the regional Olympic qualifier. The Amencans face the U.S. Virgin Islands in the final game Thursday night. Bryant was making his long-awaited international debut, while Anthony was the leading American scorer last year at the world championships. They needed a little more than a quarter to show they could be a . formidable duo. Jason Kidd and Howard started along with LeBron · Bryant and James, Anthony, the three starters coach Mike Krzyzewski had already. named. All 12 players saw action in the first quarter, which ended with the Americans up 21-8 after some shaky shooting. Bryant' was scoreless and Anthony had only four points in the opening period, but they didn't stay quiet for lon~. Both scored seven points m a I 6-6 spurt early in the second quarter that brok:e open the game and extended the lead to 39-16 on Bryant's 3-pointer with 5:23 left in the first half. Both players were involved in the highlight play of the ga:me. Kidd leaped to keep a high pass from going out of bounds along the sideline, quickly tossing it back to Anthony. He fired it to a cutting James, who passed behind his back to Bryant for a dunk, drawing a roar from what was otherwise a fairly quiet crowd in a Thomas & Mack Center that appeared less than half full. The Amerie'ans led 54-34 at halftime, and the advantage ballooned into the 30s after the starters outscored Venezuela 14-2 to open the third quarter. James' steal and breakaway dunk made it 68-36. Greivis Vasquez scored 12 points for Ver.ezuela, which will face Canada on Thursday. The Americans were forced to play in the quali1 game in the NL wild card. Mike Stanton and Jared Burton pitched 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief before David Weathers pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 32 opportunities. Lance Cormier (0-4) retired the first nine batters he faced before Hamilton hit the first pitch of the fourth inning over the center field wall for his 16th homer of the season. Keppinger followed with his third homer to give Cincinnati a 2-1 lead. Arroyo gave himself some breathing room in the fifth by driving in Javier Valentin from 'second base with a single to left field. Edwin Encarnacion went from first - - --' --- - - - - - ---·-··.

BY BRAD SHERMAN BSHERMAN@MVDAILVTRIBUNE.COM Brad Sherman/photo River Valley coach Gregg Deel watches .his linemen execute a blocking drill during the team's practice on Monday In Cheshire. Deel's Raiders play host to Southeastern Friday to kick-off the 2007 high school football season. .River Valley looks for another good start against Southeastern 8v BRAD SHERMAN straight in the series. A sixth straight would provide an all-important boost to start the season. "This is a team we've had success against · in the past and we need that 9uick start," admitted Dee!. ' (Our kids) have paid their dues, they've lined up as freshmen and sophomores and· we've had to play them whenever they should have been playing on Monday ni§hts. . 'And they've taken their lumps, they've stayed positive and they've worked hard for us. I told them this is a payday for them this Friday. It's a very, very imoortant football game for BSHERMAI'IOMVOAILVTRIBUNE.COM CHESHIRE - This has been River Valley's lone victory the past two season~. Hopefully for the Raiders, it s just the ftrst of many in 2007, which is supposed to be a turnaround season fQr the struggling program. The Southeastern Panthers, who· have had struggles of their own over the past few years, come to town on Friday as the new high school football season officially gets underway. Kick-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. For River Valley, its kids who were forced to play early as freshman . and sophomores are now upperclassmen, and coach Gregg Deel thinks this is the season that it will all start to come together for his club. The Raiders' journey starts Friday against a Southeastern team that they've had much success against - winning five us.'\'- It will be River Valley's ball-control, run heavy offense versus a Southeastern attack that utilizes the big play to move the football and score points. Deel's to~ priority is stopping those btg plays, as his club doesn't possess great speed. "Those kids have made big plays in both of their scrimmages, and that's probably the biggest concern for us. In our two scrimmages so far, we've given up the bjg play," he said. The two players to watch for Southeastern are quarterback Jordan Elam and running back Justin Hoffman. River Valley does own . a huge size advantage 'on the offensive and defensive lines. "I think, as . far as the match-up goes, if we're not able to successfully line up and move the football on the ground, then we're probably going to have some trouble," admitted Dee!. "If we can do that successfully, and don't give up the big play on defense, we'll be OK." River Valley is 2-18 over the past two years with both those wins coming at the expense of the Panthers. Southeastern has won just one.game over the last three .years. GALLIPOLIS - You'll see Shawn Thompson, Kruize Wandling and even Chris McCoy taking snaps .at quarterback for the Gallia Academy Blue Devils on Friday mght. But you won't see Jeff Golden. That's because the senior All-State signal caller injured his knee in a scrimmage with Portsmouth West last week, and he is likely lost for the entire 2007 high school football season. Golden is scheduled to meet with specialists today, when he should get a more definitive answer on the status of his injury. . What is certain, thpu~h , is that his Blue Devils wtll be without him tomorrow night when a tough Sheridan Generals team visits Memorial Field as the brand new season gets underway. Kick-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. Thompson, a senior, will get the start although coach Matt Bokovitz said that the sophomore Wandling will also get into the game in certain circumstances, and he may even . use tailback McCoy in some direct snap play ~. "We're going to mix it up ... it wiU be by committee a little bit," Bokovitz said. "Our kids know that they have to pick up the slack for US tO be as good as We Wanted to be in the beginning of the season. I think with the maturity level that we have on our team, I think we'll get that." · Gallia Academy was one of the preseason favorites to compete for the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League title, and the Blue Devils will be seeking their third straight playoff appearance. If the' Devils indeed have to go the entire season without their team captain, getling off to a good start on Friday because all the )llore imperative . Bokovitz has a lot of confidence in the seniors and juniors who have played a lot of football for him thus far, and he knows they'll meet the challenge. · . "Our kids will come out figtlting - I think I know them pretty well and they'll come out getting right after them," he said. "Are we going to make some mis. takes? Probably. But we're going to live with them and we're going to try and tum up the volume and play as hard as we can r,ossibly play for 48 minutes. ' . Sheridan has l)'lany of the same faces back from last year's meeting, a game the Blue Devils won 30-13. "They are a good first game football team, you talk about a good test, this is it," LAS VEGAS (AP) Once Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant warmed up, there was no way Venezuela could keep up. Anthony scored 17 points, Bryant added 14, and the Umted States rolled to a 112-69 victory Wednesday night in its opening game of the FIBA Americas tournament. Michael Redd also had 17 points, Amare Stoudemire scored 16 and Dwight Howard 12 for the Americans, who improved to 27-0 in the regional Olympic qualifier. The Amencans face the U.S. Virgin Islands in the final game Thursday night. Bryant was making his long-awaited international debut, while Anthony was the leading American scorer last year at the world championships. They needed a little more than a quarter to show they could be a . formidable duo. Jason Kidd and Howard started along with LeBron · Bryant and James, Anthony, the three starters coach Mike Krzyzewski had already. named. All 12 players saw action in the first quarter, which ended with the Americans up 21-8 after some shaky shooting. Bryant' was scoreless and Anthony had only four points in the opening period, but they didn't stay quiet for lon~. Both scored seven points m a I 6-6 spurt early in the second quarter that brok:e open the game and extended the lead to 39-16 on Bryant's 3-pointer with 5:23 left in the first half. Both players were involved in the highlight play of the ga:me. Kidd leaped to keep a high pass from going out of bounds along the sideline, quickly tossing it back to Anthony. He fired it to a cutting James, who passed behind his back to Bryant for a dunk, drawing a roar from what was otherwise a fairly quiet crowd in a Thomas & Mack Center that appeared less than half full. The Amerie'ans led 54-34 at halftime, and the advantage ballooned into the 30s after the starters outscored Venezuela 14-2 to open the third quarter. James' steal and breakaway dunk made it 68-36. Greivis Vasquez scored 12 points for Ver.ezuela, which will face Canada on Thursday. The Americans were forced to play in the quali1 game in the NL wild card. Mike Stanton and Jared Burton pitched 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief before David Weathers pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 32 opportunities. Lance Cormier (0-4) retired the first nine batters he faced before Hamilton hit the first pitch of the fourth inning over the center field wall for his 16th homer of the season. Keppinger followed with his third homer to give Cincinnati a 2-1 lead. Arroyo gave himself some breathing room in the fifth by driving in Javier Valentin from 'second base with a single to left field. Edwin Encarnacion went from first - - --' --- - - - - - ---·-··.

The Rangers became the lirst team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Trailing 3-0 in the opener of a doubleheader, Texas scored five runs in the fourth inning, nine in the sillth, 10 in the eighth and six in the ninth. It was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, the first since the Chicago Colts set the major league markjn a 36-7 rout of Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897, according to the Elias Spons Bureau. "When you're on this end of it," said Marlon Byrd, who hit one of two Texas grand slams, "you don't want to be the one to make the out. You feel like you have to get a hit every time up." Hours after announcing manager Da"e Trembley would return for the 2008 season, the Orio.les absorbed the most lopsided loss in franchise history · and set a team record for hits allowed in.a game (29). The Rangers had totaled 28 runs in their previous nine games, including two runs on seven hits in their last two. "I knew we'd get the bats going, but I never expected anything like this," Texas managc;r Ron Washington said. "When the faucet is on, you want it to stay on. You never want to cut it off." The Rangers set a team record for runs scored in a doubleheader - before the second game even started. ''This is Something freaky. You won't see anything like this again for a long, long time. I am glad I was on this end of it," Byrd said. Travis Metcalf also hit a grand slam for the Rangers. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each homered twice and finished with seven RBis. "That was ridiculous. I have never been in anything like that in my life," said Saltalamacchia, who went 4for-6 with a walk and scored five runs. He carne in batting .179 and finished at .262. David Murphy had five of the Rangers' 29 hits, the most by a major league team since Milwaukee had 31 in a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, according to Elias. "It was AMAZING in capital letters," said Metcalf, who was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma earlier in the day. Tellas had 57 at-bats, tying the AL record for a nineinning game set by Milwaukee in its 1992 rout of Toronto. The Rangers added five points to their team batting average, raising it to .258. They finished with more runs than.outs made (27). Baltimore went from seventh in the AL with a 4.39 ERA to II th at 4.60. Asked how to handle such a devastating defeat, Trembley replied, "You have a real shon memory and you let it go." Kason Gabbard (6-1) allowed three runs and seven hits over six innings. He is 21 in six stans since Texas acquired him from Boston on July 31. Even with the one-sided score, there was a save. Wes Littleton earned his second career sav~ and first this season by pitching three scoreless innings. The game was a bit of redemption in an awful season for the Rangers. "We set a record for something on the good side of baseball," Washington said. Texas erased a 3-0 deficit by batting around in a fiverun fourth. A walk to Byrd and .an infield hit by Jason Botts preceded a two-run single by Saltalarnacchia. After a vistt from pitching coach Leo Mazzone, Daniel Cabrera (9-13) gave up a goahead, three-run homer to Vazquez. Tellas made it 14-3 by scoring nine runs on 10 hits in the sixth. The I 0 hits matched a club record for one inning and were three more than the Rangers totaled in their previous two games. Cabrera left after serving up a home run to Saltalarnacchia. Brian Burres yielded two singles and a walk before Byrd hit his third career slam. Saltalamacchia, Vazquez, Frank Catalanotto and Ian Kinsler added RBI singles. Texas got seven hits in the eighth.

Jack Wilson, Xavier Nady, Jason Bay and Freddy Sanchez also homered for the Pirates, · who had hit 112 home runs as a team coming into Wednesday's game. It was McLouth's first multihomer game and the third time he has had three hits in a game. Pi Its burgh starter Tom Gorzelanny ( 12-7) went six innings, surrendering one earned run and sl.fikinll out five to get his thiid win m his last four starts. Three of the Pirates' home runs led off an inning Nady in the third, McLouth in the fourth and Bay in the fifth. Sanchez had four hits for the fourth time this season, and Jose Bautista had three hits for Pittsburgh, which won for the fourth time in the last five games. The Pirates scored twice in the first and four times in the . second, three on Wilson's seventh homer of the season. One batter later, McLouth hit the first of his two homers to make it 6-0. The Pirates scored at least one run in each of the first sill innings. Colorado starter Josh Fogg (7-9) struggled from the outset, giving up eight hits to the frrst 12 batters he faced. He tied a season high with eight earned runs allowed and left after giving up McLouth's leadoff homer m the founh, his lOth of the year. Reliever Ramon Ortiz gave up a solo homer to Bay and a two-run homer to Sanchez in the sixth. · The Rockies scored their runs in the fourth. Troy Ttllowitzki doubled and scored on Ryan Spilborghs' si ngle, Geronimo Gil was safe on an error, and Ortiz drove in Spilborghs to make it 8-2. Herd fans asked to recycle HUNTINGTON (AP) Marshall University spons fans are being· asked to take their love of green a step further this year. In addition to wearing the school color at sporting events, they'll be reminded to go green for the environment. ' Staning with the Thundering Herd's home football opener on Sept. 8, fans will see large recycling bins placed throughout the stadium. And people who park in paid lots for the game will receive large green plas-, tic bags to use to recycle' their plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Greg Adolfson with the state Department of Environmental Protection said sports fans can do a lot to help reduce the impact on the environment. The recycling program, coordinated by DEP's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan, will also be conducted at men's and women's basketball' games. The program mirrors one started last year at West Virginia University that resulted in the recycling of more than 180,000 cans and b9ttles. The proceeds, about $2,000, went to WVU Children 's Hospital. Proceeds from Marshall's recycling program will go to 1 Goodwill. ~'J - i\ . ' I �..

Herd fans asked to recycle HUNTINGTON (AP) Marshall University spons fans are being· asked to take their love of green a step further this year. In addition to wearing the school color at sporting events, they'll be reminded to go green for the environment. ' Staning with the Thundering Herd's home football opener on Sept. 8, fans will see large recycling bins placed throughout the stadium. And people who park in paid lots for the game will receive large green plas-, tic bags to use to recycle' their plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Greg Adolfson with the state Department of Environmental Protection said sports fans can do a lot to help reduce the impact on the environment. The recycling program, coordinated by DEP's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan, will also be conducted at men's and women's basketball' games. The program mirrors one started last year at West Virginia University that resulted in the recycling of more than 180,000 cans and b9ttles. The proceeds, about $2,000, went to WVU Children 's Hospital. Proceeds from Marshall's recycling program will go to 1 Goodwill. ~'J - i\ .

Since the earliest day$ of history, time has shown that possessing the larger army when headed into battle can mean a significant difference between victory and defeat. Eastern football found out the hard way last season what a limited band of warriors meant on the gridiron, finishing 2006 with just 18 on the varsity roster en route to a winless 0-10 campaign that saw the Eagles surrender 380 points overall . Combine with that the fact that EHS went 1-9 in 2005 while allowing 370 total points, and one begins to see why the Green and White are under new leadership for the third time in as many seasons. n r ·.,.,, 2007 Eastern Football It &« 3 5 6 9 10 Cliui M1U Johnson* So Darin R«K Kyle Gordon* Josh Collins* Sr Sr Sr Acnon Faec~r 11 Jordan K1mes 12 KeUy Winebrenner* 12 Josh Loscar Jr Jr So IT t3 Afn: Kuhn* Sr 15 Drayden Pntt 16 Akx Bui'1UIIj!iu IT s. fill QB-S QB-S QB-CU SE-CB RB-SS SE-S SE-S SE-CB RB-LB QB-ss RB-CB 1:11 6-2 5-10 S-10 6-3 S-10 S-!0 6-0 5-11 6-0 5- 10 .6-0 lMl .It &« 160' 145 145 175 22 Derek Griffin* 26 Kun Connery ISO ISO ISO 32 130 185 140 ISO 30 8"" Stone 31 Devin Rigp* Kyt~ ~lawson* 33 Ryan Amos ., 36 kyle Connery •• Cod Williams Larry Uc:ss 45 Tyl., Hendrix 46 Devon Baum c.. Jr IT IT So Sr IT IT Jr Sr IT IT Enter Kevin Welsh,' who has been the front-man at both Frontier (3 years) and Warren high schools in the recent past. As Welsh embarks on his fifth season overall as a head coach, he has been nothing but energetic and positive in trying to get the ship turned around at Eastern . And so far, he appears to be headed in the right direction . The ~agles have 43 players on the varsity roster for 2007, including 30 from the top three grades and a dozen seniors alone. Add to the mix that Eastern lost -only three players Derek Young, Chadd Whitlatch and Cody Gerlach - to graduation, and one again sees why things just might be a little brighter at East Shade River Stadium this upcoming fall .

And the soldiers are falling in. "We aren't Jetting the kids be negative. We want them being optimistic so that they can think positively and believe in what they want," he commented. "The new coaching staff has been pleased with their attitudes. They've had to learn a new offense and a new defense, and they've also had to learn to trust us and believe in what we are doing. "They have been working very hard for us early on and the trust is definitely there: We have really molded into one cohesive group in trying to turn this thing around, and we feel we can have some success because of that." 12 Seniors I 0 Juniors 8 Sophomores 13 Freshmen So So So Sr Jr Jr lMl 5- 10 5-10 6-2 210 165 175 200 210 6-0 230 S-10 5- 10 6- t 175 5-11 6-0 230 200 220 6-0 185 It .,..,._~ - Of course, the 18 experienced returnees an(j a major roster increase should also play key roles in getting the Eagles back to respectability. "We are fortunate to have 12 seniors that are all a good group of leaders. They all have the desire to want to win and succeed. A lot of our underclassmen also have experience, which should help us this year as well ," Welsh said. "The . other good thing has been our · turnout.

Since the earliest day$ of history, time has shown that possessing the larger army when headed into battle can mean a significant difference between victory and defeat. Eastern football found out the hard way last season what a limited band of warriors meant on the gridiron, finishing 2006 with just 18 on the varsity roster en route to a winless 0-10 campaign that saw the Eagles surrender 380 points overall . Combine with that the fact that EHS went 1-9 in 2005 while allowing 370 total points, and one begins to see why the Green and White are under new leadership for the third time in as many seasons. n r ·.,.,, 2007 Eastern Football It &« 3 5 6 9 10 Cliui M1U Johnson* So Darin R«K Kyle Gordon* Josh Collins* Sr Sr Sr Acnon Faec~r 11 Jordan K1mes 12 KeUy Winebrenner* 12 Josh Loscar Jr Jr So IT t3 Afn: Kuhn* Sr 15 Drayden Pntt 16 Akx Bui'1UIIj!iu IT s. fill QB-S QB-S QB-CU SE-CB RB-SS SE-S SE-S SE-CB RB-LB QB-ss RB-CB 1:11 6-2 5-10 S-10 6-3 S-10 S-!0 6-0 5-11 6-0 5- 10 .6-0 lMl .It &« 160' 145 145 175 22 Derek Griffin* 26 Kun Connery ISO ISO ISO 32 130 185 140 ISO 30 8"" Stone 31 Devin Rigp* Kyt~ ~lawson* 33 Ryan Amos ., 36 kyle Connery •• Cod Williams Larry Uc:ss 45 Tyl., Hendrix 46 Devon Baum c..

As Welsh embarks on his fifth season overall as a head coach, he has been nothing but energetic and positive in trying to get the ship turned around at Eastern . And so far, he appears to be headed in the right direction . The ~agles have 43 players on the varsity roster for 2007, including 30 from the top three grades and a dozen seniors alone.

The Green and White set an unbreak ·'lie state record last fall , winning 60 consecutive regular season games en route to an undefeated 20-0 record, a school-best 21-1 overall mark, a I Oth straight Tri- Valley Conference Hocking Division title and the program's fourth di strict championship in a span of five years. Five players were lost from that squad to graduation, including four starters and four multi-year AII ~TVC performers . Gone from the mix are the reigning TVC Hocking Player of the Year Erin Weber and Di strict 13 MVP Darcy Winebrenner, both key components to Eastern 's lethal net attack in 2006. Also gone are all-league setter Brittany Bissell and AIITVC defensive specialist Jillian Brannon , not to mention two-time varsity letterw,i nner Georgana Koblentz. Obviously, there are some major hol es that need to be filled . However, with six returnees, six seniors and a few key newcomers to the 12player roster, there is still good reason to believe th at the Lady Eagles will be dangerously explosive. EHS coach Howie Caldwell , who enters his sixth season in charge of the program, knows improving on last season would be a hard challenge for any ball club , but he also feels that this group is eager · and prepared to take a shot at it. "I have always had the philosophy that you go as far as your seniors will take you , and last year 's juniors are ready to step up and be seniors," he commented.

The Green and White set an unbreak ·'lie state record last fall , winning 60 consecutive regular season games en route to an undefeated 20-0 record, a school-best 21-1 overall mark, a I Oth straight Tri- Valley Conference Hocking Division title and the program's fourth di strict championship in a span of five years. Five players were lost from that squad to graduation, including four starters and four multi-year AII ~TVC performers . Gone from the mix are the reigning TVC Hocking Player of the Year Erin Weber and Di strict 13 MVP Darcy Winebrenner, both key components to Eastern 's lethal net attack in 2006. Also gone are all-league setter Brittany Bissell and AIITVC defensive specialist Jillian Brannon , not to mention two-time varsity letterw,i nner Georgana Koblentz. Obviously, there are some major hol es that need to be filled . However, with six returnees, six seniors and a few key newcomers to the 12player roster, there is still good reason to believe th at the Lady Eagles will be dangerously explosive. EHS coach Howie Caldwell , who enters his sixth season in charge of the program, knows improving on last season would be a hard challenge for any ball club , but he also feels that this group is eager · and prepared to take a shot at it. "I have always had the philosophy that you go as far as your seniors will take you , and last year 's juniors are ready to step up and be seniors," he commented.

MHS also ran away with the 2005 title after winning 8-of- 10 Ohio Division contests for a 47-37 title over the Golden Eagles . With nine returnees back from a year ago, including three of their top four to lead the way, the Marauders ate primed and poised for another defense of their links crown. "We are looking 'to try and defend our TVC title," commented second-year Meigs coach Tony Dugan.

PLAINS - The course for success is going to be a little harder for the Eastern golf team this season tha.n in years past. . . Not exactly what a new coach wants to 6ear · about his ·team during a rookie campaign. · Brad Quillen becomes the third EHS golf coach in as many seasons, replacing Gary Fields after just one stint with the Eagles. Quillen ; who inherits a~ro­ gram that has finished rhir the previous two years in the TriValley Conference Hocking Division, also takes over a squad that returns seven players from last fall, including four of the six varsity competitors from 2006. . The one problem with that statistic, the two starters lost to graduation just happen to be the top-two scorers from a year ago . Gone from the. mix are Michael Owen and Jacob Warner, the No.4 and No·. ll scorers in ·the TVC Hocking during 2006. Owen was a threetime All-TVC performer with the Green and White, while Warner earned AII-TVC. accolades once as ajunior. The loss of that consistent one-two punch at the top, not to mention their experience and leadership, will definitely be the main area of concern that the Eagles need to address this season. ~Luckily for Quillen, and for EHS, there are eight athletes ready to give it their best shot. "We have a strong core of seniors that show leadership and have a great d~!al of experience, and we are looking to them to provide some guidance to our younger players," he. commented. "Our main goal is to develop consistency as individuals and improve our team scores match by match."

That's the adage that Meigs golf hopes rings true this 2007 fall season as the Marauders give chase to a third consecutive Tri- Valley Conference Ohio Division championship. The Maroon and Gold needed the entire 2006 season to catch and eventually surpass Belpre, . winning their second consecutive TVC Ohio crown by a 4342 overall count in the last match of the year. MHS also ran away with the 2005 title after winning 8-of- 10 Ohio Division contests for a 47-37 title over the Golden Eagles . With nine returnees back from a year ago, including three of their top four to lead the way, the Marauders ate primed and poised for another defense of their links crown. "We are looking 'to try and defend our TVC title," commented second-year Meigs coach Tony Dugan.

PLAINS - The course for success is going to be a little harder for the Eastern golf team this season tha.n in years past. . . Not exactly what a new coach wants to 6ear · about his ·team during a rookie campaign. · Brad Quillen becomes the third EHS golf coach in as many seasons, replacing Gary Fields after just one stint with the Eagles. Quillen ; who inherits a~ro­ gram that has finished rhir the previous two years in the TriValley Conference Hocking Division, also takes over a squad that returns seven players from last fall, including four of the six varsity competitors from 2006. . The one problem with that statistic, the two starters lost to graduation just happen to be the top-two scorers from a year ago . Gone from the. mix are Michael Owen and Jacob Warner, the No.4 and No·. ll scorers in ·the TVC Hocking during 2006. Owen was a threetime All-TVC performer with the Green and White, while Warner earned AII-TVC. accolades once as ajunior. The loss of that consistent one-two punch at the top, not to mention their experience and leadership, will definitely be the main area of concern that the Eagles need to address this season. ~Luckily for Quillen, and for EHS, there are eight athletes ready to give it their best shot. "We have a strong core of seniors that show leadership and have a great d~!al of experience, and we are looking to them to provide some guidance to our younger players," he. commented. "Our main goal is to develop consistency as individuals and improve our team scores match by match."

"The girls are quite capable of winning the Tri-Valley Conference championship and possibly making it to regionals as a team, wh_ile the boys are still looking to make gradual improvement from a year ago. l' d like to see them finish third or higher at league," he commented.

"The girls are quite capable of winning the Tri-Valley Conference championship and possibly making it to regionals as a team, wh_ile the boys are still looking to make gradual improvement from a year ago. l' d like to see them finish third or higher at league," he commented. "We are looking forward to this season, but we really just want each individual to go farther and faster than last year.

Myldeby recently purchased a fully electric car made by Chrysler which looks like something straight out of "The Jetsons." However, the car, which is roughly the size of a golf can, is completely street legal and completely handy for Mykleby who has health problems which limit his mobility. · For years, Mykleby who is 86 and likes to stay active, has used a golf can to help him do yard work and trim the hedges while .sitting in the can. He also uses the can to go to the post office, the bank or Wagner's Hardware which he refers to as "the mall" because of their varied inventory selection. However, Mykleby wanted his 1ransportation around town to be "street legal" so he purchased the electric car which now has Ohio tags on it. The car has no doors (though they can be ordered) which allows Mykleby to get in and out of the vehicle easier. The car will go 30 miles on a single charge and plugs into a common, 120volt electric outlet. It's 99 inches in length, 70 inches in height, 55 inches wide and weighs 730 pounds. It reaches a top speed of around 25 miles per hour. It has a cargo box (similar to a trunk) that can hold I 00 pounds, has 12-inch tires and is front wheel drive. The car was made in Nonh Dakota at Global Electric Motorcars, a subsidiaF)' of Chrysler, and let's just say if you want one it costs more than. $5,000 but less than $10,000. Being one of, if not the only person to own a fully electfic car in Meigs County, goes along with Myldeby's personality of collecting gadgets. This habit stems back to his time as a fighter pilot in World War U and the kliow-how it takes to read and fly those huge bombers straight out of "The History Channel." Please 5H Electric.
