(AP) - Spending 150 days a year traveling the state, Richard Sowash's lifestyle somewhat resembles those of the itinerant Ohio fronti ersmen he brings to life. A spreader like Ohio 's Johnny Applcsecd, Sowash delivers sc hoolchildren the lore of famous Ohioans like aviation pioneers the Wright brothers _ and not so famous _ like their sister, Katherine. who made some of their work possible by running the bicy cle store while they were away. Sowash popped up rece ntly at Wilcox Elementary School in this community about 20 miles west of Cleveland for a talk on the Wrights and John Chapman _ better known as Johnny Appleseed. He · began his project in 1996 out of fear that that chil· dren today were missing out on the stories of his child· hood. He would take trips by car to different communities with his grandfather to hear about the state's past. " I would get into the back seat of the car and go to sleep." Sowash said. "When I woke up, I was in a new town and would listen to all those great stories." In " North Ridgeville, Sowash stood before the students assembled in their audi· torium, musing how great it would be to talk to some of the state 's .heroes and hear their stories. On cue, students ponraying each of the hero appeared on stage one by one. Each wore an appropriate costume and was coached on Ohio history by Sowash. Nine-year-old Laurel Kennett dressed as Orville Wright and memorized facts about the Wright brothers and their sister, Katherine. Sowash makes sure to include the sister in his presentation for her behind-thescenes role supporting her brothers' experiments. Later, Laurel's schoolmate James Firar took the stage as Johnny Appleseed to talk to Sowash about how the pioneer provided not only fresh fruit for thousands of hungry settlers. but also apple vinegar to preserve the food they had. Several hundred children in first through fifth grade listened to the presentation tli.at included students portraying 23 of the state 's historical fig· ure s. Sowash has written three children's books about the Buckeye state: " Heroes of Ohio," "Critters, Flitters and Spillers" and "Ripsnorting Whoppers." In person, the natural story· teller uses his smooth and rich voice to recount stories about the state and the men and women who shaped it. When Sowash is not traveling or working on his books, he pursues his first love, writ· ing American classical music. CLEVELAND (AP) College campuses in Ohio are among those making sure that parents do not get left behind while their sons and daughters are away. Miami University staned a biweekly electronic newsletter this fall for parents of freshmen. "I really view parents as partners in education," said Susan Mosley Howard, dean of students at Miami and the mother of two daughters at coHege. · "We are parenting in a way that we've been much more involved in the academic and social experiences of our children." A national group, Administrators Promoting Parent Involvement, has · WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -While the rest of the country focuses on Christmas shopping and NBA slugfests, Ohio still is trying to decide who was elected president. Two major challenges are expected to unfold Monday even as the secretary of state was ready to cenify the final results. First. lawye rs representing voters upset about problems at the ballot Election Day plan to contest the results with the Ohio Supreme Court. They will cite documented cases of long lines, a shortage of machines and a pattern of problems in pre· dom inantly black neighborhoods. In addition , th ird party candidates. bolstered by a favorable federal court rul ing. plan to file requests for a recount i~ each of Ohio's 88 counties. Observers don't give either effort much hope. " It 's an incredib le long shot," said Steven Huefner, an Ohio State Unive rsity law profe'lor. "Courts are just incredibly reluctant to overturn the resu lts of·an election absent a really strong showing thai something happened that affected the outcome." The election hung on· Ohio, a battleground state prized for its 20 electoral votes. Not until the morning after the election did John Kerry. pre·sented with the state's results, finally concede . President Bush ·s 2 percentage point win over Kerry in Ohio was closer than unofficial electio n night tota ls showed. hut the change in the final vote count was not enough lo trigger .an automatic recount. according to count y-by-county results provided to The A" ociated Pre" on Friday. About 400 people rallied at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus on Saturday to demand a recount begin immediately and to point out Election Night irregularities they claim could have cost Kerry the election. On Sunday, Democrats trained coordinators to participate in recounts expected to begin later in the month . "We should verify the acc uracy of the vote and the process by which the vote was achieved," said Cliff Arnebeck . a Columbus lawyer . working for the Ma ss achusett s- based Alliance for Democracy. "Even if it's several million dollars. it's a minuscule inve stment to ensure the integrity of the p~cess ." Arnebeck wants Chief Ju stice Thomas Moyer of the state Supreme Court to review evidence of election irregularities , an option allowed under state law. A ruling in favor of .the challenge could lead to a recount or even having the results set aside . Moyer. a suburban Columbus Republican, oversaw the last time the law was used statewide, a 1990 challenge by Paul Pfeifer of Lee Fisher's I ,234-votc victory in the attorney ge neral 's race. Pfeifer, a Republican now on the Supreme Court, argued that irregul arities discrepancies such , as between the number of ballots and the number of signatures in poll books could have cost him the election. The six members of the coun who ruled on the case disagreed and Fisher won. "The process· was very smooth ." Moyer re cal led. :·We set up a schedule, we had good lawyers. everyone did the work ." A ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus Friday rejected Delaware grown since its founding in 1998 to include more · than 80 colleges and· universities. But there can be too much of a good thing, . according to Helen Johnson, who managed parem programs at Cornell Un~vers~ty and the Umv~rs1ty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She said some parents "can't let go." Johnson is now a consultant on parent relations and the co-author of a book on the subject. The wave of Baby Boomers seems particularly susceptible to hyper· involvement, perhaps in part because many started families relatively late in life and they tend to have fewer children where they can focus their attention, Johnson said. Johnson said such parents are savvy consumers who want the most for their· money. Some feel that the world is more dangerous than when they were young.

County's attempt to stop a recount, avoiding a legal precedent that could have stopped other recounts. Green and Libenarian party candidates have already raised the required $113,600. Republican s say the challenges won ' t work. While voters may prove there were problems Election Day, they' II be hard pressed to show they resulted in a different outcome, said Mark Weaver, an attorney representing the Ohio Republican Party. ~ There' s simply nothing in the ~lection process that could possibly meet that standard, so the contest will fail like all the other legal maneuverings that failed," he said. · When the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against Pfeifer 14 years ago, it was divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans control the court 6-1 today, but that shouldn 't make a difference , said Jonathan . Entin, a Case Western University law profe ssor. "If judges on the Ohio cannot Supreme Court decide political or electionrelated cases because they're selected through the political process, then how are we going to solve these problems''" he said. In Noble County in south- · ern Ohio. where Bush won by about 3,800 votes to Kerry's 2.600, election board director Donna Moore hopes any recount goes quickly. "I have a reservation for the lOth through 14th to fl y to Rhode Island to be with my preg nant daughter." Moore ·said .

Some Meigs Countia,ns currently are the ninth generation to be in the county since it was first settled in the late 1700's. Ashley said there is no requirement to be a member of the society in order to participate in ibis project, nor is there a cost.

Mucking out the media barn The Daily Sentinel 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio PageA4 Taking a break from reading 676-page "I Am Charlotte Simmon s" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2004), Tom Wolfe's primal scream of a public service announcement that . depicts coll ege as more Hefner mansion than ivory tower, I happened to scan an article abollt a new trend in architectural preservation.

How will they ever sweep away the dirt of the a Diana West sordid, subhuman life they lead at hi s novel's Dupont College '! This isn't to say that Wolfe's book about sex and the college kid is a shock , exactly. You would have to live somewhere over the rainbow. beyond the range of the satellite dish, not to be familiar with the pulsating. orgiastic media sac in whi ch parents set their teens to gestate. where they suck up the noxious currents of scatologically idiotic Hollywood and sexuall y berserk MTV until society deems them fit for four vears of "higher education. '' This is the point at whi ch we meet them in the book. What follows the phenomenon of "hook ing up" and related degradations described in this investigation of the decline of a freshman woman - is not what's new. Bul in the Wolfeian accumulation of detail, much of it clinical. and the torrential rain of expletives, there is an unavoidable tsunami of rev elation, all of it crushingly depressing. College as we know it becomes something to rethink. particularly at $40,000 per annum .

Supporters signed up by the thousands to monitor balloting and ensure a fair vote. "We are witnessing a struggle between forces of good and forces of evil," Yushchenko told throngs of chanting supporters gathered at Kiev 's main square and waving his campaign's orange flags. "The entire world is applauding our victory. The entire world is proud of Ukraine." While thousands of pro-Yushchenko demonstrators marked two weeks of a round-the-clock vigil in downtown Kiev, supporters of his rival, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, were largely out of sight in eastern regions near Russia Yanukovych's stronghold. The Moscow-backed Yanukovych has not been seen in public since Friday's Supreme Court ruling canceling his Nov. 21 runoff victory over Yushchenko because of fraud. On Sunday, campaign representatives did not answer repeated phone calls. The Western-leaning Yushchenko said little about his cam: paign proposals, but he repeated accusations that outgoing President Leonid Kuchma had blocked key electoral changes· through his loyalists in this former Soviet republic's parliament. He urged demonstrators to maintain their blockade of official · buildings. "We insist that the parliament comes back from recess and considers the issues that must ensure a fair, transparent and democratic vote on Dec. 26," Yushchenko said. The election has led to a tug-of-war between Moscow and the West, which bristled at Russian President Vladimir Putin's heavy-handed support for Yanukovych . Moscow, which considers this nation of 48 million people part of its sphere of influence and a buffer between it and NATO's eastern flank, fears Ukraine will tilt furtlfer to the West under Yushchenko. On Saturday, the parliament, Verkhovna Rada, adjourned for 10 days after pro-government factions blocked oppositiondemanded changes. Yushchenko said the changes must ban voting by absentee ballot and at home, which he said was used by Yanukovych supporters to rig the Nov. 21 runoff. The changes also must ensure opposition supporters are represented on election commissions across the nation, he told the mlly. Yushchenko 's fiery ally, Yulia Tymoshenko, said the public protests that have swept Ukrain.e have had an impact on tlte government, leaving less room for ofticial fraud. "Something has changed, thanks to the people," she said. Thousands of protesters clad in Yushchenko's campaign color of orange- many grimy after living for two weeks mthe sprawling tent camp on a Kiev street- have vowed to remain until new election laws are passed. "We can stay here until the end," said Yaroslav Bileko, 19, crawling out of his tent and slipping into an ankle-length black wool coat. "Even though we are tired physically and emotionally, the thought of democracy warms our souls." Demonstrators filled out questionnaires Sunday-to sign up for jobs as campaigners, monitors or election commission members. Thousands volunteered to work as monitors and activists in the Yanukovych stronghold region of Donetsk, said Yushchenko campaigner Mykola Moskovsky. Western observers have documented evidence of vote-rigging in the east in Yanukovych's favor, including multiple voting, falsification of voter lists and abuse of absentee ballots. Yanukovych's camp claims it has evidence of voting irregularities in Kiev and some western regions. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said it will deploy a full-fledged observer mission for this month's rerun . More than 1,000 people plan to arrive from Canada, home to many people of Ukrainian origin, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress said. In parliament, a loose coalition of communists, socialists and pro-government lawmakers said they would back electoral changes only in exchange for the opposition's vote on a constitutional reform transferring some presidential powers to parliament. Yushchenko accused government foes of trying to trim presidential powers because they feared he would win the rerun. · Kuchma, in turn, blamed the opposition for reneging on a European-brokered compromise calling for parliament to vote for the electoral and constitutional changes all at once. Kuchma, who supported Yanukovych, has called for a new round of talks involving Europe,an sponsors, but they appeared increasingly unlikely. . Tymoshenko warned that Yushchenko would face a tough task of hvmg up to expectauons alter the excitement of roundthe-clock vi~ils. "It's a temble responsibility, and 1 believe Yushchenko feels it- not to let die that orange flame which has burnt so brightly here," she said. · • Irs Beginning to Look a Lot; Like • .

Did it had enough gas left in the tank for South Gallia following an emotional 70-61 overtime victory against TVC Hocking-rival and defending champion Trimble just 24 hours earlier? The Eagles' answer was a tirst half surge that left no doubt en route a successful 73-41 debut in front of the home crowd. as a 26-4 first quarter run turned into a 38-8 halftime advantage and allowed EHS to glide to its third straight overall win of the young season.

"1 thought our guards ru shed them into so me shots (from the outside) and when they got so mething in the middle, our big guys were there waiting on them. They can be intimidating defen sively."

So the Tigers will have to senle for a Sugar Bowl benh against Virginia Tech on Jan. 3.

USC finished with .9770 in the standings. and Oklahoma had .9681. Auburn, third much of the season, had .933 1. Oklahoma's strong computer rankings kept the Sooners ahead of the Tigers in the BCS standings, while USC held on to first place thanks to its strong showing in the polls. Last season, USC was left out of the BCS title game, despite bei ng No. I in both the AP ami coaches polls at the end of the regular season.

OXFORD (AP) - Miami of Ohio wide receiver Michael Larkin and two other students were stabbed early Sunday in a dispute over a car being blocked in a parking lot, the university said. · Another student suffered an eye injury in the dispute that happened about 4 a.m. behind an on-campus fraternity house. Larkin, a 22-year-old senior from Cincinnati, was in stable condition Sunday night at McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital, the nursing supervisor said. University spokesman Richard Little and sports information director Mike Harris said they could not release details of Larkin's injury. . The other students, none of whom are Miami athletes, also had to be treated ·at hospitals. Their injuries were not life threatening, the university said. No charges have been filed. Police have had trouble piecing together what happened because the victims have been uncooperative, the university said. Larkin had 55 catches for 8.13 yards and eight touchdowns this season, helping the RedHawks post an 8-4 record and earn a bid Sunday to the Independence Bowl. Harris said it hasn't been determined if Larkin, who has caught at least one pass in an NCAA record 49 consecutive games, will be able to play in the Dec. 28 bowl game against Iowa State in Shreveport, La. Larkin could face disciplinary action from campus police, the university or football coach Terry Hoeppner, Little said.

The venerable coach also thought the strong start allowed more opponunity to develop some depth for this season and later down the road. "You don't get experience sittihg on the bench . We were able -to get some of our younger players in and get them some good time at this level," said Caldwell.

Tyler Duncan paced the Rebels with seven markers. When all the bowls were finished, LSU won the BCS championship, and. USC was No. I in the final AP poll. In an attempt to avoid a repeat, the BCS scaled back its formula this season, making it far more reliant on the human poll s. But another problem arose. of course: For the first time since the BCS was implemented in 1998, there were more than two unbeaten teams from major conferences. At least Auburn is in a top bowl. California was left out altogether after Texas passed the Golden Bears and moved into fourth in the final BCS standings. The Longhorns ( 101) will play Big Ten co-champion Michigan (9-2) in the Rose Bowl. Utah ( 11-0) officially became the first team from a non-BCS conference to receive a bid to one of the four $ 14 million bowl games, earning a spot in the Fiesta Bowl against Big East representative Pittsburgh (8-3). . The U'tes, from the Mountain West Conference, will play their last game under coach Urban Meyer on Jan. I in Tempe, Ariz. Meyer is headed to Florida. The Trojans and Sooners went wire-to-wire atop both polls; it's the first time Nos. I and 2 stayed the same from the AP preseason Top 25 through the final regular season poll, though the Sooners shared second with Auburn for one week. So Sunday's Orange Bowl announcement was not' surprisi ng. i~ter CLASSIFIED Auburn, Oklahoma and USC all finished their regular seasons with wins Saturday, making it extremely unlikely that there would be any change at the top of the BCS . Texas' move past Cal might have caught so me people off guard, however. It looked like the Bears controlled their BCS destiny a few weeks ago and simply needed. to win out to reach the Rose Bow I for the first time since 1959. But Texas began gaining grou nd in the polls, especiall y with the coaches, as Longhorns coach Mack Brown lobbied for vote s. Texas' first BCS bid also means the Rose Bowl won't have its traditional Big Ten vs. Pac-1 0 matchup.
