Byer-Hill reminds senior citizens that the deadline for the new homestead exemption is fast approaching for those wlio want. !he tax reduction to apply to their tax bill in 2008. "Applications must be submitted to the Auditor's Office by Oct. 1," said Byer, who again noted that "every senior citizen or permanently disabled homeowner can receive a $25,000 exemption off the appraised value of their home from property taxes on a single family residence; ,, BY BRIAN '""""')<Liih"·tllim·l.<·olll regardless of their income;" The income limits under the former program ha"e been eliminated, added Byer. According to the auditor, residents can apply for homestead exemption in the year they tum 65 as long as they own and occupy the house as of Jan. I of the year in which they file. She pointed out that homeowners who are currently receiving the homestead reduction will automatically be iricluded in t!J.e expanded program and do not need to file another application. Byer invites residents with questions about the program to call the auditor's office (992-2698) or visit the office located on the second fl09r of the . Meigs County Courthouse in Pomeroy. .. Applying for the homestead exemption is free, and' the applications which can be obtained at county auditor offices are free. Ohio Tax Conunissioner Richard A. Levin has wil!ned against seniors of contacts being made offering to mail applicatipns to seniors for a $9.95 fee, while others are offering to assist with filling it out for a $60 fee . , According to Levin, taxayers needing help may contact their local county auditor or call the Ohio Department of Taxation's hotline for individual assistance. The expansion and overhaul of Ohio's homestead exemption was a key component of the two-year state budget bill sig ned into law by Governor Ted Strickland on June 30. "All senior citizen homeowners and all permanently and totally disabled homeowners, regardless of income, may now use the exemption to shield $25,000 of the market value of their home from property taxes," said Levin. "However, the deadline to sign up for the Qew homestead exemption in time to get . the reduction on tax bills payable next year is Oct. I, 2007 ." J.

"These low precipitation levels, along with recent hot weather in August and early September, have created a condition of very high risk for wildfires," said David Lytle, chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. "Many local fire departments in southern Ohio have been working hard to safely sup· press wildfires in their communities." "We ask all Ohioans to use extreme caution under these volatile conditions. Improper or careless burning of debris and yard waste can lead to wildfires, threat"ning not only forests and grasslands, but also people, property, and wildlife" Lytle said.

All Venezuelan schools, both public and private, must submit to state inspectors enforcing the new educational system. Those that refuse will be closed and nationalized, Chavez said. A new curriculum will be phased in during this school year, and new textbooks are being developed to help educate "the new citizen," added Chavez's brother and education minister Adan Chavez in their televised ceremony on the first day of classes.

Attorney Assistant General Peter Keisler will serve as acting attorney general during Mukasey's confirmation process.

Mukasey, a partner at New York-based J'aw flfDI Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, is also a close friend to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican.

"He was always prepared and he knew the · issues. So he didn't need a , lot of the background, a lot of the fluff that you often get in arguments." Still, Mukasey may have some le~rning to do in Washington. "The big question is whether he can successfully • make the transition from ' a judicial mind-set to .a political one," said Brad Berenson, a lawyer who for- , merly worked in the counsel's office of the Bush :.

In addition, Geauga County Engineer Robert L. Phillips worked to lower the speed limit on the road from 45 mpll to 40 mph. The Amish "have figured out they need to 'be part of the process, instead of out of the loop, to get things done," Phillips said. ODNR from PageA1 be available nearby.

The gift includes $33,000 from a statewide fund drive for an Eagles auxiliary member who died from complications of diabetes.

'!We are indeed very appreciative to the Eagles, its . members and everyone who suppOrted them in this very successful fund drive," said Souba. "This donation will give our scientists the ability to continue -- and in many cases expand -- their research into areas that show considerable promise in the prevention and treatment of some very devastating diseases and injuries."

Attorney Assistant General Peter Keisler will serve as acting attorney general during Mukasey's confirmation process.

Mukasey, a partner at New York-based J'aw flfDI Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, is also a close friend to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican.

Still, Mukasey may have some le~rning to do in Washington. "The big question is whether he can successfully • make the transition from ' a judicial mind-set to .a political one," said Brad Berenson, a lawyer who for- , merly worked in the counsel's office of the Bush :.

In addition, Geauga County Engineer Robert L. Phillips worked to lower the speed limit on the road from 45 mpll to 40 mph. The Amish "have figured out they need to 'be part of the process, instead of out of the loop, to get things done," Phillips said. ODNR from PageA1 be available nearby.

Eagles-donation helps expand research at Ohio State COLUMBUS The Ohio Fraternal Order of Eagles recently donated $245,000 to the Ohio State University Medical Center for support of research in cardiovascular disease, cervical cancer, diabetes and spinal cord injuries. The gift includes $33,000 from a statewide fund drive for an Eagles auxiliary member who died from complications of diabetes. Another $25,000, benefiting Alzheimer's disease research, was given to IIJe Medical Center in honor of former OSU football coach Earle Bruce who was the keynote speaker at the Eagle's annual meeting. Dr. Wiley "Chip" Souba Jr., dean . of Ohio State's College of Medicine- and interim senior vice president and executive dean for Health Sciences and CEO of the Medical Center, said the -.. gift from the Eagles will help accelerate discoveries in the laboratories and at the bedside. '!We are indeed very appreciative to the Eagles, its . members and everyone who suppOrted them in this very successful fund drive," said Souba. "This donation will give our scientists the ability to continue -- and in many cases expand -- their research into areas that show considerable promise in the prevention and treatment of some very devastating diseases and injuries."

THE CINCINNAn ENQUIRER BY JUUE CARR SMYllt N' STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS - Ohio's embattled public- schools .,were confronted with a new lawsuit Monday challenging whether students within each district being treated equally. Ironically dubbed Brown v. Board of Education -like the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision that outlawtlf racial segregation in public schools - the action strikes llhe heart of the state's school funding dispute. The Ohio Supreme Court bas reJ,JeUtedly declared the state's school funding system unconstitutional, saying a heavy reliance on the lOCal tax base created inequality between districts because a poor district can't raise as much money as a wealthy one. Monday's lawsuit argues that two buildings within one school district can also be uneqnal. "We made a tremendous mistake thinking we could just fix a system on a district-to-district basis," said Republican mayoral challenger Bill Todd, who filed the lawsuit in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. "The question for the 21st century is how do we get the resources to the individnal student to compete in a global economy." Todd filed his lawsuit against the state and the Columbus City Schools Board of Education 9n behalf of Columbus resident Willis Brown and four other taxpayers. Todd is an underdog challenger to the city's popular Democratic mayor, Michael Coleman. He has sought before during the campaign to link Coleman to Columbus' struggling school district, though it operates independently of city government. A Columbus schools spokesman declined comment while district lawyers reviewed the complaint. The Ohio Department of Education said it does not comment on pending lawsuits. Coleman defended his record on education, meanwhile. He touted $7 million the city has spent on education-related initiatives since 2001, including after-school learning centers; repair of school sidewalks and establishment of a mayor's Office of Education to coordinate education initiatives around the city. Coleman has also held a series ofeducation summits. "For the past eight years, Mayor Coleman has worked with elected officials in Columbus an(! throughout Ohio to fundamentally change the way education is supported. in Columbus," campaign spokesman Bryan Clark S3ld in a statement. To build his case, Todd used the state's own perfonnance barometer, the State Repon Card, against them. He looked at money spent on schools the state has labeled to be failing compared to spending on non-failing schools, and says he found - with the help of research from the conservative Buckeye Institute and the nonpartisan Education Trust - that the failing schools are getting less state money. Todd said he believes in public schools, but also advocates parents' ability to shop for private or charter schools that better meet their needs. "This whole thing is about public schools, and about mak. ing sure they work as efficiently as possible," he said. "What I'm about is I like to rethink systems from the ground up." d;L_.

Simple, sage advice from Clarence Clemons one warm evening, on how to sit in the saddle. He then ambles off on a brown and white-faced gelding named Chico~ down a winding wooded trail where cicadas sing like a giant, shaking tambourine. With a novice rider aboard, Zen, a handsome gray horse, obediently tags along. Even apprehensive greenhorns feel easy with Clemons in the lead - the way he gently guides Chico around bushes and fallen trees, how the horse seems to anticipate his cluck-cluck commands. Surely, this comes with experience. Clemons has been caring for and riding horses much of his 50 years. "I've just always liked horses," says Clemon~, who lives in the northern Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming. "I've always thought it was special how they are stronger than us, yet they submit to us." This love and respect is why he came home from New York this spring to open his 16-acre, I 2-horse Muddy Water Equestrian Park, where he offers rides, lessons and horse-care clin;ics. But Clemons has more planned for his home on the range. He believes horses can help kids find the right path in life - and he has experience.to back that up.

THE CINCINNAn ENQUIRER BY JUUE CARR SMYllt N' STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS - Ohio's embattled public- schools .,were confronted with a new lawsuit Monday challenging whether students within each district being treated equally. Ironically dubbed Brown v. Board of Education -like the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision that outlawtlf racial segregation in public schools - the action strikes llhe heart of the state's school funding dispute. The Ohio Supreme Court bas reJ,JeUtedly declared the state's school funding system unconstitutional, saying a heavy reliance on the lOCal tax base created inequality between districts because a poor district can't raise as much money as a wealthy one. Monday's lawsuit argues that two buildings within one school district can also be uneqnal. "We made a tremendous mistake thinking we could just fix a system on a district-to-district basis," said Republican mayoral challenger Bill Todd, who filed the lawsuit in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. "The question for the 21st century is how do we get the resources to the individnal student to compete in a global economy." Todd filed his lawsuit against the state and the Columbus City Schools Board of Education 9n behalf of Columbus resident Willis Brown and four other taxpayers. Todd is an underdog challenger to the city's popular Democratic mayor, Michael Coleman. He has sought before during the campaign to link Coleman to Columbus' struggling school district, though it operates independently of city government. A Columbus schools spokesman declined comment while district lawyers reviewed the complaint. The Ohio Department of Education said it does not comment on pending lawsuits. Coleman defended his record on education, meanwhile. He touted $7 million the city has spent on education-related initiatives since 2001, including after-school learning centers; repair of school sidewalks and establishment of a mayor's Office of Education to coordinate education initiatives around the city. Coleman has also held a series ofeducation summits. "For the past eight years, Mayor Coleman has worked with elected officials in Columbus an(! throughout Ohio to fundamentally change the way education is supported. in Columbus," campaign spokesman Bryan Clark S3ld in a statement. To build his case, Todd used the state's own perfonnance barometer, the State Repon Card, against them. He looked at money spent on schools the state has labeled to be failing compared to spending on non-failing schools, and says he found - with the help of research from the conservative Buckeye Institute and the nonpartisan Education Trust - that the failing schools are getting less state money. Todd said he believes in public schools, but also advocates parents' ability to shop for private or charter schools that better meet their needs. "This whole thing is about public schools, and about mak. ing sure they work as efficiently as possible," he said. "What I'm about is I like to rethink systems from the ground up." d;L_.

Simple, sage advice from Clarence Clemons one warm evening, on how to sit in the saddle. He then ambles off on a brown and white-faced gelding named Chico~ down a winding wooded trail where cicadas sing like a giant, shaking tambourine. With a novice rider aboard, Zen, a handsome gray horse, obediently tags along. Even apprehensive greenhorns feel easy with Clemons in the lead - the way he gently guides Chico around bushes and fallen trees, how the horse seems to anticipate his cluck-cluck commands. Surely, this comes with experience. Clemons has been caring for and riding horses much of his 50 years. "I've just always liked horses," says Clemon~, who lives in the northern Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming. "I've always thought it was special how they are stronger than us, yet they submit to us." This love and respect is why he came home from New York this spring to open his 16-acre, I 2-horse Muddy Water Equestrian Park, where he offers rides, lessons and horse-care clin;ics. But Clemons has more planned for his home on the range. He believes horses can help kids find the right path in life - and he has experience.to back that up.

What a difference a week makes. After an improbable 51' 45 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the only controversy in Cleveland is how far the Browns' stunning turnaround can take them. "A win like that definite!~ helps the team psyche,' coach Romeo Crennel said Monday. The Browns scored the fourth most points in team history, more than in their last five games combined. They put up 554 yards of offense behind · Derek ·Anderson, who lost the preseason competition to Charlie Frye. Anderson's five-touchdown performance ensured that at least a week will go by without anyone questioning the Browns' swift trade of Frye to Seattle last week or whether rookie Brady Quinn shou'p .be the starter. ·... : The Win marked-! career pays for Anderson,.

The highlights - Jamal Lewis chugging down the field . for 216 . yards, Edwards diving for one ·of his two touchdown grabs and Anderson throwing dart after dart- have aired over and over again: Crennel, who gave game balls to the entire offense, hopes his players don't watch them too many times. ".What's going 'to happen now is that a lot of these guys will be told they are · the best thing since sliced bread - they can run for 200 yards in a game and throw for 500 yards, get five touchdown passes and put 51 points on the board," Crennel said. "The thing we have to do is, we have to get these guys to understand that nothing has changed." The message seems to have gotten through to the players, who parroted his words in the locker room. Browns tight end Kellen Winslow, who reached 100 yards receiving for the first time, quietly told reporters Monday that it was just one win. He nitpicked the offense like a coordinator reviewing game film. "There was still a lot of plays out there to·be made. We can improve on a couple things," he said. "We could have got ·more yards for. Jamal." . On the other side of the locker room, center Hank Fraley was repeating the "one win" mantra. . "One win's not going to get us to the Super Bowl ," Fraley said. "We've got to do this a lot more than one time. We've got to string a few together. Who knows, string 'em all together." The Browns haven't won two straight games since Butch Davis was the coach. · They' II look to do it behind Anderson, who notched his first victory as a starter. He threw for 328 yards, tied a team record for TD passes and now bears the weight of lofty expectations. Crennel knows those kind of numbers won't come again soon. ''The thirig that we 'have to fight is to expect that there is going · to be 51 (304) 675-1333 points every week, becausE: that doesn't happen in the NFL," Crennel said. "Fifty, one points happens very seldom in an NFL game." ; The Browns also have te take a long look at theYdefense, which has surrendered 10 passing TDs iti two games - six to Carson Palmer and four to Bell Roethlis~erger. : For the defensive-minded Crennel , whose . record against AFC North oppo.nents improved to 2-1 ~ that's all the more reaso11 not to look at Sunday 'i; game as anything more thafi a single victory. "It's the second game of the year. We are 1- l. I don'l know if this is the turning point or not," he saiq, "Usually on turning point:t, what you have to do is wheit the season is over yo.u cail look back and pinpoint ll game that you think is 11 turning point game:· If we win the rest of them, I can s,ay lhis i$ a turning point game." • Notes: DB Bradney Poot who suffered a concussio11 on his collision with Wi Glenn Holt was to be re:evaluated Tuesday. ... f' Dave Zastudil (back) was still sore and listed as day to day. · Monday thru Friday :00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m AP photo Washington Redskins' Clinton Portis, center, goes over Philadelphia Eagles' Sheldon Brown (24) in the second half of their football game Monday in Philadelphia. Redskins scalp Eagles, 20-12 ' f.. r . ·; .. -' PHILADELPHIA (AP)If Jason Campbell becomes a star in the NFL, he might pinpoint Monday night's win as the start of sometlling great. . · Showing the poise of a veteran, the third-year quarterback in his ninth pro start converted several big plays and got plel)ty of help from Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley jind an opportunistic defense in Washmgton's 20-12 victory over the Eagles. The surprising Redskins, coming off a 5-11 season, are 2-0 and tied with Dallas atop the NFC East, which Philadelphia was expected to dominate . . · But the Eagles are 0-2 and their offense, other than the dynamic Brian Westbrook, has been far too spotty. Portis and Cooley each scored touchdowns and Shaun Suisham 'made two field goals. Washington's defense stymied every Eagle except Westbrook, who rushed for 96 yards and caught eight passes for another 66 yards . Westbrook's work wasn't enough to get Philadelphia into the end zone, however, as ao array of blitzes and some hard hitting by the Redskins' secondary kept Donovan McNabb off-balance much of the night. McNabb has lost six of his last seven starts and is 9-12 since the Eagles lost the Super Bowl to New England in January 2005. Campbell didn 't have gaudy staiistics, either, but he kept the Redskins on the move when it counted with sharp passes and timely third-down conversions. After Suisham's third field goal, a 37-yarder, put Washington on top 13-6, David Akers mat_ched it with a 26-yarder later in the third quarter. Then Washington's mas- tery on third down - it went 8-for- 15 - helped it to the winning score, a 6-yand run by Portis early in the fourth period. Campbell calmly found Cooley for 9 yards on third-and-8, and hit Todd Yoder, Cooley's backup, for 18 on third-and-! 0. Philly lost safety Brian Dawkins, its defensive leader, with a neck injury on the play that moved the ball to the Philadelphia 6. Then Porti s swept left for the decisive points. Portis wound up with 69 yards rushing and Campbell added 39 to ~o with his 209 passing , but It was his maturity in tight situations that stood out. As did Washington's hardhitting defense, led by safeties Sean Taylor and rookie LaRon Landry, and a pass rush that · got to McNabb three times and pressured him all game. The biggest cheer of the night by the 67,726 fans might have been in the first quarter, which ended 3-0 Tor the Redskins. It came when recently re-signed Reno Mahe caught a punt. The Eagles lost their opener at Green Bay in great part because Greg Lewis and J. R. Reed fumbl ed attempting to field punts . That cost Philadelphia I 0 point s and prompted the Eagles tu bring hack Mahe, their regular punt returner in recent years. He had no trouble catching the ball Monday night. Suisham 's 35-yard field goal as thl! first period ended gave Washington th_e lead, but the Eagles came back for two tleld goals by Akers, from 24 and 39 yards . Westbrook set up the first by gai nin g 42 yards on two runs , and William James' interception at the Washington 39 led to the other kick. \\\41 1 \t I \ I I \I" Down I apiece.

' CINCINNATI · (AP) Where to start wiih this one? Maybe with tho~e 51 .points by a p~eviou'sly inept offense: .Qi the 554 yards by a team that had ,just traded its ' starting ' quarterback. That average 'gain of 8.8 yards for every Cleveland Browns play sure grabs the attention. All those big numbers add up to one big -and enduring - problem for the Cincinnati . Bengals. Their defense is dragging them down again. . Not even six touchdown passes by Carson Palmer were enough to get a victory Sunday in Cleveland, where the Browns' offense did anything it wanted in a 5145 victory that showed why the Bengals (1-1) are nothing more than a break-even team. The defense is still broken. "You don't expect that to happen," defensive captain John · Thornton said Monday. "That's why it's so shocking." Shouldn't be. After their third 8-8 finish in-coach Marvin Lewis' four seasons, the Bengals revamped their defense, adding speed to the sec" ondary and depth to the line.

What a difference a week makes. After an improbable 51' 45 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the only controversy in Cleveland is how far the Browns' stunning turnaround can take them. "A win like that definite!~ helps the team psyche,' coach Romeo Crennel said Monday. The Browns scored the fourth most points in team history, more than in their last five games combined. They put up 554 yards of offense behind · Derek ·Anderson, who lost the preseason competition to Charlie Frye. Anderson's five-touchdown performance ensured that at least a week will go by without anyone questioning the Browns' swift trade of Frye to Seattle last week or whether rookie Brady Quinn shou'p .be the starter. ·... : The Win marked-! career pays for Anderson,. Brayion . Edwards, ·Ke I Ie n Win s I ow and the guys. in the Dawg P ou nd Notebook w h o dumped beer on Ben gals · wide receiver Chad Johnson. The highlights - Jamal Lewis chugging down the field . for 216 . yards, Edwards diving for one ·of his two touchdown grabs and Anderson throwing dart after dart- have aired over and over again: Crennel, who gave game balls to the entire offense, hopes his players don't watch them too many times. ".What's going 'to happen now is that a lot of these guys will be told they are · the best thing since sliced bread - they can run for 200 yards in a game and throw for 500 yards, get five touchdown passes and put 51 points on the board," Crennel said. "The thing we have to do is, we have to get these guys to understand that nothing has changed." The message seems to have gotten through to the players, who parroted his words in the locker room. Browns tight end Kellen Winslow, who reached 100 yards receiving for the first time, quietly told reporters Monday that it was just one win. He nitpicked the offense like a coordinator reviewing game film. "There was still a lot of plays out there to·be made. We can improve on a couple things," he said. "We could have got ·more yards for. Jamal." . On the other side of the locker room, center Hank Fraley was repeating the "one win" mantra. . "One win's not going to get us to the Super Bowl ," Fraley said. "We've got to do this a lot more than one time. We've got to string a few together. Who knows, string 'em all together." The Browns haven't won two straight games since Butch Davis was the coach. · They' II look to do it behind Anderson, who notched his first victory as a starter. He threw for 328 yards, tied a team record for TD passes and now bears the weight of lofty expectations. Crennel knows those kind of numbers won't come again soon. ''The thirig that we 'have to fight is to expect that there is going · to be 51 (304) 675-1333 points every week, becausE: that doesn't happen in the NFL," Crennel said. "Fifty, one points happens very seldom in an NFL game." ; The Browns also have te take a long look at theYdefense, which has surrendered 10 passing TDs iti two games - six to Carson Palmer and four to Bell Roethlis~erger. : For the defensive-minded Crennel , whose . record against AFC North oppo.nents improved to 2-1 ~ that's all the more reaso11 not to look at Sunday 'i; game as anything more thafi a single victory. "It's the second game of the year. We are 1- l. I don'l know if this is the turning point or not," he saiq, "Usually on turning point:t, what you have to do is wheit the season is over yo.u cail look back and pinpoint ll game that you think is 11 turning point game:· If we win the rest of them, I can s,ay lhis i$ a turning point game." • Notes: DB Bradney Poot who suffered a concussio11 on his collision with Wi Glenn Holt was to be re:evaluated Tuesday. ... f' Dave Zastudil (back) was still sore and listed as day to day. · Monday thru Friday :00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m AP photo Washington Redskins' Clinton Portis, center, goes over Philadelphia Eagles' Sheldon Brown (24) in the second half of their football game Monday in Philadelphia. Redskins scalp Eagles, 20-12 ' f.. r . ·; .. -' PHILADELPHIA (AP)If Jason Campbell becomes a star in the NFL, he might pinpoint Monday night's win as the start of sometlling great. . · Showing the poise of a veteran, the third-year quarterback in his ninth pro start converted several big plays and got plel)ty of help from Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley jind an opportunistic defense in Washmgton's 20-12 victory over the Eagles. The surprising Redskins, coming off a 5-11 season, are 2-0 and tied with Dallas atop the NFC East, which Philadelphia was expected to dominate . . · But the Eagles are 0-2 and their offense, other than the dynamic Brian Westbrook, has been far too spotty. Portis and Cooley each scored touchdowns and Shaun Suisham 'made two field goals. Washington's defense stymied every Eagle except Westbrook, who rushed for 96 yards and caught eight passes for another 66 yards . Westbrook's work wasn't enough to get Philadelphia into the end zone, however, as ao array of blitzes and some hard hitting by the Redskins' secondary kept Donovan McNabb off-balance much of the night. McNabb has lost six of his last seven starts and is 9-12 since the Eagles lost the Super Bowl to New England in January 2005. Campbell didn 't have gaudy staiistics, either, but he kept the Redskins on the move when it counted with sharp passes and timely third-down conversions. After Suisham's third field goal, a 37-yarder, put Washington on top 13-6, David Akers mat_ched it with a 26-yarder later in the third quarter. Then Washington's mas- tery on third down - it went 8-for- 15 - helped it to the winning score, a 6-yand run by Portis early in the fourth period. Campbell calmly found Cooley for 9 yards on third-and-8, and hit Todd Yoder, Cooley's backup, for 18 on third-and-! 0. Philly lost safety Brian Dawkins, its defensive leader, with a neck injury on the play that moved the ball to the Philadelphia 6. Then Porti s swept left for the decisive points. Portis wound up with 69 yards rushing and Campbell added 39 to ~o with his 209 passing , but It was his maturity in tight situations that stood out. As did Washington's hardhitting defense, led by safeties Sean Taylor and rookie LaRon Landry, and a pass rush that · got to McNabb three times and pressured him all game. The biggest cheer of the night by the 67,726 fans might have been in the first quarter, which ended 3-0 Tor the Redskins. It came when recently re-signed Reno Mahe caught a punt. The Eagles lost their opener at Green Bay in great part because Greg Lewis and J. R. Reed fumbl ed attempting to field punts . That cost Philadelphia I 0 point s and prompted the Eagles tu bring hack Mahe, their regular punt returner in recent years. He had no trouble catching the ball Monday night. Suisham 's 35-yard field goal as thl! first period ended gave Washington th_e lead, but the Eagles came back for two tleld goals by Akers, from 24 and 39 yards . Westbrook set up the first by gai nin g 42 yards on two runs , and William James' interception at the Washington 39 led to the other kick. \\\41 1 \t I \ I I \I" Down I apiece.

' CINCINNATI · (AP) Where to start wiih this one? Maybe with tho~e 51 .points by a p~eviou'sly inept offense: .Qi the 554 yards by a team that had ,just traded its ' starting ' quarterback. That average 'gain of 8.8 yards for every Cleveland Browns play sure grabs the attention. All those big numbers add up to one big -and enduring - problem for the Cincinnati . Bengals. Their defense is dragging them down again. . Not even six touchdown passes by Carson Palmer were enough to get a victory Sunday in Cleveland, where the Browns' offense did anything it wanted in a 5145 victory that showed why the Bengals (1-1) are nothing more than a break-even team. The defense is still broken. "You don't expect that to happen," defensive captain John · Thornton said Monday. "That's why it's so shocking." Shouldn't be. After their third 8-8 finish in-coach Marvin Lewis' four seasons, the Bengals revamped their defense, adding speed to the sec" ondary and depth to the line.

The new complex would include a new 3,000-seat football stadium, and an eight-lane track at the current Meigs High School and is estimated to cost at least $2 million. "Ecstatic," was the word Michael Bartrum of the MLEF used to describe receiving the donation. ''This is more than a football stadium or a running track, it's about bringing a community together." Bartrum said he hopes the complex will also be used for events such as Special Olympics, Relay for Life, concerts, band competitions and simply a place for the community to gather as well as utilize in the form of exercising around the walking track. Rose Fife of AEP's River Operations worked on applying for the donation and she along with coworker Bruce Darst recently presented the MLEF with the $10,000 check. Darst said AEP River Operations alone has around 40 employees from Meigs County. "We have a lot of employees from Meigs County who work on the river," Darst said. "We felt like we could do more for the area." Objectives of the MLEF's project is to develoP. a multi-purpose complex that w1ll: Create or.portunities for enhanced educationa , extra-curricular, and community programs; modernize extra-curricular facilities to address existing cost, safety, and liability concerns, as well as to meet the increased demands resulting PIIIH 111 loo1t.
