Cranberry Bread Medley gets one-y~ar suspension from bench Bv .TIM MALONEY TMALONEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS The Supreme Court of Ohio has suspended Gallia County Juvenile and Probate Court Judge WilliamS. Medley for a year. effective immediately. In a 5-2 opinion written by Chief Justice Thomas J. Move r "nd released on Wednesday. the court found that Medley was guilty of three counts of professional misconduct committed while he was judge of the Gallipolis Municipal Court. Medley had been scheduled to hear four contested matters on Wednesday, all of which were cance led, as were the remaining cases for the week. Common Pleas Court Judge D. Dean Evans signed off on an emergency custody case, and said he would fill in for Medley on a limited basis. "I can take care of emergency-type things that come up," Evans said, "but for me to take all of ITlY time away from here and take care of both courts. it's ju,st not practical.'' Evans said the Supreme Court has two options for filling Medley's position while he is suspended. He said the court could either appoint a retired judge to serve full-time. or bring in Judge L Scott Powell from Meigs County and Judge Stephen Michael from Jachon County to take turns serving part-time. ''The citizens of Gallia County are not going to go without a probate-juvenile judge. whether it be me or·by assigning a retired judge, which I think they're going to do:· Evans said. Med ley said he intends to return to his elected position as probate and juvenile judge as soon as his suspension is over. , He has to vacate his ofllce on the third tloor of the Gallia County Courthouse, but said "s ince I'll be back· in a year, I'm not taking down the stuff on the walls. "I have to be careful w)lat I say... he said. "I'm not going to get myself in any deeper trouble than r ve managed to get myself into already. There's nothing I ca n do or say at this point . It' s done.'' Medley wa' appointed to fill a vacancy on the municipal court bench in January 1993 by then -Gov. George Voinovich. He served as municipal judge until 2003, William S. f o II owing his election Medley as probatejuvenile judge. ln the opinion written by Moyer, the court found that Medley violated multiple provisions of the Code of Professional Responsibility and Code of Judicial Conduct when he: • Improperly negotiated and accepted a plea agreement and proceeded to convict and pass sentence on a defendant charged with carrying a concealed weapon, driving under theinfluenceandotheroffenses without the consent or participation of the county prosecutor. • Engaged in ex-parte communications, made misleading entries in his court journal and failed to notify opposing parties or counsel prior to vacating two default judgments and removing a $6,300 judgment lien agai nst Roger Watson, then-executive committee chairman of the Galli a County Republican Party; of which Medley is a member. Medley's actions contributed to a delay of more than five years in Holzer Medical Center's attempts to collect a judgment debt from Watson, the court said. • Engaged in a pattern of improper conduct and abused his court's powers by having small claims judgment debtors a~d and forcing them to pay'otr their creditors in order to get outofjail by setting their release bond at .the same amount owed to the creditor. Justice Paul E. Pfeiffer said Medley had a well thoughtthrough plan to essentially revive debtors' prisons. "No citizen of any county can expect to have people jailed for failing to immediateIy pay their small-claims judgments." Pfeiffer said.

The instructors pointed out that decorating in a Williamsburg fashion is achieved through choosing natural materials available where we live .

It needs to remind Americans that, unlike the tobacco and gun indu~tries. it is producing life-saving products, not lethal ones. Beyond PR, though, drugmakers need to take action to lower costs - and to convince the public and Congress that they are not putting profits ahead of the nation's health. Poll s show that public attitudes toward drug compames have cratered and. despite the fact that Republicans gained strength in the last election, chances are greater than ever that Congress wi II pass a law permitting mass importation of U.S. drugs from abroad. One indication of trouble : USA Today reported last week that Republican Billy Tauzin HI, a candidate for his father's Congressional seat in Louisiana, favored importation. Tauzin's father, Rep. Billy Tauzin, R·La., former chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. is widely expected to be the new president of Pharmaceutical Research of and Manufacturers America (PhRMA). In other words, political pressures are such that the top-lobbyist-in-waiting for the brand-name drug industry can't even convince hi s own son to oppose the industry's top threat. President Bush indicated Morton Kondracke in a presidential debate with Sen. John Kerry. D-Mass .. that he might support importation if it can be done safely. USA Today quoted Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. as flatly predicting that importation would pass. The administration is conducting a new study. due out this week, on whether importation ~an be done safely. The report's conclusions are said to depend as much on political judgments as medical ones. In reality, despite overwhelming suppo11 in polls. importation is a terrible idea. Drug costs are lower in other coun tries because they 1mpose price controls, so importation amounts to · imposing price controls in the United States. Foreign countries ~on­ tribute little or nothing to the huge costs of researching new drugs - estimated to be $800 million per product - and they produce few medical breakthroughs. Price controls would slow down medical progress here, too. And Canada, the first co untry of choice for importation, can't handle a major upsurge in demand from the Uniled States. Its drug market is only 10 percent the SIZe of ours, so prices there would skyrocket if milliohs of Americans started buying.

Once operational , the plant will be the cleanest fossil fuel power plant in the world . The project will be supported by the energy department conjunction with a private-sector consortium called the FutureGen Alliance . The Alliance is composed of some of the nation's larger electric utilities, including American Electric Power and Cinergy, and coal companies, which will be contributing approximately 25 percent of the project funding. "If selected by the energy department and the Alliance, Meigs County will reap economic benefits from the influx of worldclass researchers and industry officials who will tap local supplies, housing and services while living and working in Athens," said Mark R. Shanahan, executive director of OAQDA . "It also could lead to additional economic development opportunities." The FutureGen initiative will be designed as a "living lab" that produces electricity and hydrogen from coal. It also will utilize innovative carbon separation and sequestration technologies, which will set it apart from other electric power plants. Team McDish .

It will pioneer technologies that . effic iently and cost-effe(;ti vely capture and sequester carbon dioxide deep underground. It also will produce hydrogen, which can be used to power gas turbines or fuel cells to generate clean electricity. After undergoing a multiyear decision-making process, the energy department in partnership with a private-sector consorti um, will determine potential site s, which will be honed as more project detail s are fleshed out. The research project will require I0 years to complete: Five to design, permit and build the plant and five to conduct operational research.

Teaford joined the patrol in 1986 as a cadet dispatcher and served at the Jackson District headquarters and Gallipolis Post. He entered the Academy in March, 1988 as a member of the I 17th class and received hi s commission that September and was assigned to the Jackson Post. In February, 1991, he transferred to the Gallipolis Po st where he received Post Trooper of the Year honors in 199 I.

Also, place the plant away from hot or cold drafts and protect it from cold winds. Do not sit the plant next to heaters or on top of televisions as thi s shortens their life span. Another mistake people make is keeping the poinsettia too wet. The Dursts recommend watering the plant in the sink to allow the water ' to drain out of the bottom. This year Ed's Greenhouse has grown nearly I 0,000 poinsettias within 1,600 square feet of greenhouses. Colors range from the . traditional red, to white, pink, marble, burgundy and a winter rose bloom. Some of the plants are sprinkled with gold glitter to make them even · more festive. When picking out the perfect poinsettia. look for a plant with small, tightly clustered buds in the center. Make sure the foliage is crisp and undam- aged. Avoid plants di splayed in drJfty crowded areas. One of the biggest misconceptions about the poinsettia is that it is poisonous. In fact scientific research at the Ohio State University proved the plant to be non-toxic to humans and pets. All parts of the plant were tested including the leaves and sap. According to the research a child would have to ingest 500 to 600 leaves to exceed the experimental doses that found no toxicity. "The plant itself is not poisonous," said Mr. Durst, who personally delivers truckload s from Columbus to points south . Ed's Greenhouse sells retail, wholesale and have recently started supplying plarits for fundraisers which keep Mr. and Mrs. Durst as well as their four part-time employees busy. "We grow quality plants that I would buy myself," Beth Sargent/ photo said M~. Durst.. After the poinsettias are Ed Durst stands in one of his six greenhouses surrounded by varieties of poinsettias.

The Sept. I I commission, in its July report. said disharmony among intelli gence agencies contributed to the inability of government officials to stop the attacks. The government failed to recognize the danger posed by al-Qaida and was ill-prepared to respond to the terrorist threat, the report concluded. In response. the legislation establi shes a new director of national intelligence to oversee the nation's 15 military and ci vi Iian spy agencies and ma.ke sure they w0 rk together to forestall future attacks. The bipartisan commission sai d that didn ' r happen before terrorists tlew airliners into the World Trade Centet' and the Pentagon. The intelligence director will not be part of the president's Cabinet but is to l1ave the same access as the defense secre tary and the secretary of state. He will have authority to move intelligence assets around the globe to keep an eye on terrorist groups like al-Qaida _ as well as nation's like North Korea and Libya. Bush has not yet decided . whom to nominate to be the first intelligence director. spokesman Scott McClellan said . "We will move as quickly as we can. obviously, to . implement the provisions and move forward on the steps it calls for in this legislation," he said.

"My dog ahsolutely loves the menorah," said Barb Gutthoff- Volk. buyer for the gift shop at Temple Israel on the East Side. The shop is umong a handful of central Ohio locati ons selling Hunukkah toys for pets, including a stuffed nine-candle menorah or hanukkiah . The holiday symbol recalls a revolt by the Muccabees, Jewish freedom fighters, against their Syrian-Greek oppressors in 165 B.C. Tradition says the lamps at the Temple in Jerusalem had only a one-day supply of oil. but it miraculously lasted eight days. The menorah thus has eight candles. plus one more to light them. Modern Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights. Although it is not a major religious observance, it has come to emphasize family celebrations and gift-giving. Rabbi Howard Apothaker, spiritual leader at Temple Beth Shalom in suburban New Albany. says giving gifts to pets for holidays is a logical extension of the Jewish obligation of kevod habriut or "honoring creatures ." "Jewish law require s that when you· re eating a meal you feed your pet before you eat," he said. Gutthoff-Volk's Shih Tzu, Chane!, gets eight gifts. one for each day of Hanukkah. Gutthoff- Volk discovered a line of Jewish pet toys three years ago at a gi!'t show in New York. Stuffed toys for cats cost about $5 and for dogs. $7 to S 13. Dog bones wrapped 111 clear plastic and other gift items, including the Chewish Toys brand. proved irresistible. Some of the item' bear 'hapes and sy mbols that are fitting any time of the year. but others are pegged to spec ific seasons, such as th e stu ffed matw bull 'uggestive of the unleavened hread ea ten during Passover. The bread symbolit.es the haste with which the Israelites fled Egypt. Joni Sucan. receptionist at the temple, has a small grm1p of friends who have exchanged Hanukkah gifts for their pets the past ·decade . When they became aware of the specialty toys with Jewish symbols. they gobbled them tip. In Sucan's case. so did her cat. Mookic. and dog, Meisha.

It's likely that hundreds of pups and kitties will be swiping paws at the boinging springy toy. Among them will be Emily. the 6-yearold mixed-breed dog of Elaine Tenenbaum. executive c)irector at Temple Israel. The shop's goods are among $4 billion worth of pet toys expected to be sold thi s holiday season. according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association , based in Connecticut. '' Kosher" cows and menorahs are the topselling Jewish pet toys at Posh Pets just north of downtown. manager Logan Kendrick said. Such items rake up only a small part of the space devoted to holiday pet toys at the shop, but interest is building, he said. Whereas many of the Jewish toys pay at least marginal attention to the religious part of Hanukkah , all of the Christmas toys retlected only that holiday's secular side. Jo Johnson. owner of Posh Pets, said she' s never seen Christmas pet toys with religious emphasis and couldn't explain why they're not on the market. She learned about the Jewi sh line of pet toys from a friend and sought them out at a trade show in Chicago in 2002. "The first season it was insanity, because people had never really seen any of the products directed toward that particular religion." she said. "Everything was much more so for Christmas. You had squeaky Santas and bears and moose that you see in general advertisements for the Christmas holidays." Adding Jewi sh products not only helped her reach our to a more diverse customer base, but also heighiened her awareness about Judaism . "It really opened my mind up to a cu lture and religion that I really didn:t know anything about.·· Keep fl check on your local weather Thursday, December 9 MomiiiJ: (7 a.m.-Noo11) It will be a cloudy morning.

LeBron James scored 19 points on 5of-15 shooting, and Cleveland shot just 36.3 percent overall. Playing their second game in a.' many nights, the Cavaliers were never in the game.

' �Page B2 • Thursday, December 9, 2004 www .mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Players' association offer could hold key to NHL season BY IRA PODELL Associated Press TORONTO- Any hope of saving the NHL season hinges on whether the next proposa l by the players' association stirs serious negotiatin¥· All the last offer yielded was three months of silence and hundreds of canceled games. When NHL officials and union leaders return to the bargaining table Thursday, it will mark their first talks since Sept. 9. That"s when the players' association put forth a luxury tax-based system that was rejected by the league because it didn"t provide the cmt ce rtainty the NHL see b. Commissioner Gary Bellman imposed a lockout a week later that has already wiped out 382 games - and forced the cancelation of ·the All-Star game. A two-day window is blocked out for ta lks. but if things don't go well Thursday. there will be no need for anot her session Friday. "T m very hopeful." Detroit forward Rrendan Shanahan said Wednesday. following a rules summit that he convened. "'Th is is the third work stoppage in my career in the last 12 years.'' . Wi th the se ason slipping away, the NHLPA invited the league back to the table and promised to be armed with a new proposal in an effort to keep the NHL from becoming the first rnajor North American league to lose a fu ll season. "We are looking forward to the meet· ing and are very confident that our proposal will provide a basis to end the owners' lockout and resume NHL hockey with a new CBA that can work for both owners and players." Vancouver forw ard Trevor Linden, the NHLPA preside nt, said m a statement Wednesday. Arenas have been given the go-ahead by the league to free up dates previously reserved for hockey on a 45-day rolling basis, which as of now means there won 't be any NHL game s before the middle of January. The league is committed to getting a deal that provides a lin!< between player costs and team revenues. The players' association contends that the league will only be satisfied with a salary cap, something the union says it won't ever accept. But the league and the union have different definitions of what constitutes a salary cap. So until there can be some basic understanding, it seems, there will be an impasse. · "I think our position s are very clear and I don't think it would be constructive to thi s process to either attempt to bargain publicly or to engage in speculation as to what the offer may or may not be," Bellman said. The previous plan put forth by the NHLPA included a 5 percent rollback on current contracts. a luxury tax framework that would target the spending of specific teams, and a revenue-sharing system. Players also offered changes to the entry level system they say will generate $60 million in savings to c.lubs. That proposal came after a series of negotiating sessions in which the union rejected six concepts put forth by the league and took a three-day sidestep in talks to examine each of the 30 teams' finances. Details of the new proposal have not been released, but that might be because it was still being formulated this week. "We're not big proponents of the lux~ry tax. But having said that, we are looking for a proposal that's meant to move the process along," said Bill Daly, Following tight, high school basketball players suspended the NHL's chief legal officer.

"In our league it 's crucial that you win the right games," he said . The Falcons beat Kansas and Missouri in 2002 and won nine games but didn't get a bowl bid because they didn' t win the MAC title. A year ago, a loss to Miami in the conference title game could have shut out Bowling Green again. Instead. they were invited to the Motor City Bowl. "I was really sweating it.'" Brandon said. This season, two of Bowling Green's three losses were to teams in the MAC West. In past years, that would have knocked them out of a bowl spot. But now the Falcons (~-3) will play Memphis in the GMAC Bowl. Toledo (9-3) won the MAC title game over Miami and will play Connecticut in the Motor City Bowl, one of two bowls the conference is· partnered with along with the GMAC Bowl. In the other games.

Bv JoE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI They were co llege roommates with little in common. : T.J. Houshmandzadeh got lhe attention with his ponytail :lind tongue-twistine; last name. Chad Johnson tried his best to blend in - no boasts, 'no breast beating. Neither one drew much attention when they showed up at Oregon State and shared .a room for road games. It ::;eemed that neither one of the physical education majors had what it takes to make it to the NFL. Nn one is overlooking them now. . The Bengals ' fourth-year :receivers .are starting to :emerge as one of the league's best tandems. Each had I 0 catches Sunday in a comeback victory over Baltimore _that put them in the team's -record books. . "I've taken a long road to :get here," Houshmandzadeh 'Said. " It's weird because Chad's si tuation is similar to mine a little bit. I don 't think he had hopes of getting to the NFL. either." · All it took was one big game to make them an item. They combined for 20 catches and 332 yards in the 27-26 victory over the Ravens. the most catches and yards by any two Ben~al s in franchi se hi story. Housh mandzadeh (pronounced HOOSH ' -mahn· ZAH'-deh) had career highs with I 0 catches for 171 yards. and Johnson had 10 catches for a career-high 161 yards. It wasn ' t a one-time thing. A week earlier, Houshmandzadeh had 79 yards and two touchdown catches to go with Johnson 's Thursday, December 9, www.mydailysentinel.com 111 yards in a 58-48 win over Cleveland. · Everyone already knew what Johnson could do. He led the AFC in yards last season, made his first Pro Bowl and drew attention to himself with his guarantees and boasts. His partner couldn't even get on the field. Houshmandzadeh led the team in receiving during preseason, then severely hurt a hamstring and missed virtually all of the 2003 season. He came to ·training camp last summer frustrated by h1s low rank in the pecking order no better than third. As a kid, Houshmandzadeh never dreamed of a career in the NFL - he played only one year of football in high school. After getting only a one-year contract from the Bengals last April, he knew he 'd have to do something fast or his career might be over. There was a difference from the first day. "It's been the new T.J. Hou shmandzadeh," coach Marvin Lewis said. "He's ~ new guy. He's got a new life, a new spirit about him." He started taking his profe ssion a linle more seriously. "In years past in training camp after the morning practice, I'd take a shower and go eat, play (video games), go to sleep or something," Houshmandzadeh said. "This year, I wouldn't even eat lunch sometimes because I would si t in the weight room, I would stretch , I would do this or that. I was just trying to take care of myself because what I was doing before wasn't working." He got hi s opportunity to emerge when Peter Warrick cracked a bone in his lower leg and went on injured reserve Nov. 5. With teams ~o ncentrating their coverage on . Johnson, Houshmandzadeh has become the main option on many plays. His 32-yard catch and run started the drive to Shayne Graham's winning field goal in Baltimore, the biggest play in the Bengals' most meaningful road victory since 1990. : They're going to have to produce another big game this Sunday in New England in order for the Bengals (6-6) to get back into the thick of playoff contention. "It's been awesome havin g T.J. kind of come out of the woodwork and fill in for Peter," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "I think he's slowly, week by week, gotten more confident in himself and what he's doing. I know my confidence in him has grown tremendously. He has given us another go-to guy." The rest of the league is taking notice. "It's no one-game wonder," New England coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday. "I showed some of the plays to the team today. It's not like the coverage isn't good. The coverage, at times, looks really good. In fac t, you might even say, ' l'.m not sure he should throw that balL ' The receivers just go up and take it away from them ." The Bengals thought the two of them could develop into a reliable tandem in 200 1, when they drafted Johnson in the second round and Houshmandzadeh in the seventh. It's taken awhile for it to work out that way. "I felt like I could do this all along, but you can on ly talk so much until you go and do it," Houshmandzadeh said. "I feel like it's been a long time coming. It's just crazy the way things happen .'' Thursday, December 9, 2004 • Ohio High School Girls Basketball Wednesdey 's Retults Akr.

Hi s relationship wi th the Browns doe sn' t appear to be much better. Although Garcia is listed as probable on the injury report and interim coac h Terry Robiskie says the QB is "YO percent healthy", rook ie Luke McCown will make hi s second career start Sunday when the Browns face the Buffalo Bill s. Garcia was informed of 'the coaching staff's decision on Wed nesday. "We told him that we thought Luke went out thi s weekend (again st New .England) and did a pretty ·decent job," Robiskie said. ."We wanted to give Luke another week. He (Jeff) said he v.as fine with it." Based on Garcia's · previ ous comments, that 's hard to believe. Garcia, who inj ured his rotator cuff ~gai n st the New York Jets last month , hasn't missed a chance to voice hi s opinion si nce joining the Browns. Smce the exhibi· tion season, Garcia has 'seem in gly had· a problem with one thing or another. He complained that he didn 't play enough during the preseason. He criticized the Browns' play calling under Robiskie, the team's offe nsive coordi nator before ta king over as head coach last week. Garcia also bemoaned the team's lack of di scipline, calling out Browns guards for jumping offsides. Robi skie said Garcia didn' t come to the team's training facility on Tuesday for treatment on his shoulder, perhaps another sign of hi s di scontent. Garcia was not available fo r comment on Wedne sday. There is further reason to think Garcia may be at odds with the Browns. During Robi skie 's first team meeting after taking over for Butch Davi s, he asked the team's leaders to stand and come to the front of the room. Curiously, in a video of the meeting which was shown on local television, Garcia remained seated while both McCown and Kelly Holcomb stood. Robiskie was asked if he found that unusual. "I don't have any reaction to it at all," Robiskie said. "When I came into the meeting, I expected four or five guy s to stand up and I was totally shocked when I looked up and saw 22 ~uys standing. It floored me.' But wasn't he surpri sed that after being so outspoken this season, that Garcia, who has started I 0 games for the Browns , wasn't one of them? "The fact that he stepped up and has been vocal and made a couple statements doesn't necessarily mean that he's a leader or may not feel that he is," Robiskie said. Obviously, Garcia's first season with the Browns hasn't gone the way he or the club envisioned when they E-mail us your local sports news: sports@mydailysentinel.com •• Dally In-Column: 1:00 p . m .

Garcia's future in Cleveland could depend on who the team eventually hires as its next coach. Robi sk ie was asked if brining Garcia il) was a mi stake. "That's a to ugh call ," said Rob iskie. "We felt like we wanted to go in · ano ther direction with the quarterback. We looked at a number of g!Jys but when · all ·was said and done we felt like Jeff Garcia was the right guy. If it has been good or bad, I can't answer that." Earlier thi s season, McCown drove to Buffalo to see his brother, Josh , play against the Bills. On Sunday, he ' ll face them himself. McCown had some nice moments last week when he passed for 277 yards and two touchdowns again st the Patriots. There were a few he 'd like back, too. "I had three or four sacks and two of them for sure scrambled out and the protection wasn 't that ])ad. So I just need to quiet my feet, settle down and mak e throws." McCown was surpri sed the Browns decided to start him agai n this week, but he's grateful for the opportunity since he won 't be the only McCown under center on Sunday. Josh was resinserted as Arizona's starter earlier thi s week. " It 's going to be a bi g week in the McCown fami ly," he said .

They decided very quickly that Ron Zook would be a good rit for their team. Turns out athletic direclor Ron Guenther agree.d. Zook became Illinois' 22nd head football coach Tuesday, and promised to turn around a program that has struggled to just four victories in the past two seasons. "Once we heard the name Ron Zook, he was, I think, the players' choice," defensive tackle Ryan Matha said. "He's the guy that all the players wanled to come in here. I know Mr. Guenther probably didn't know that, but it all worked out well." Running back E.B. Halsey said he spent some time watching Zook's video highlights. "You could just see that energy that he 's going to bring to the sideline," Halsey said. " I saw (in) one clip he had to chest bump one of the players. Everybody's excited for that." Zook, 50,' takes over a program that Guenther decided had "reached a point of no return" in the recruiting department. The lllini have won only five Big Tuesday.

See Page 81 BY BRIAN GAINESVILLE. Fla. When Urban Meyer moved from Notre Dame to Bowling Green to Utah in five vears, he explained the relocations to his three children by telling them he was like a mountain climber trying to get to the top. After accepting the Florida job last week, his 6-year-old son simply asked. "Daddy, are you there yet'r Meyer smiled and responded, '·Yes. this is the top." · Few would disagree. The former Utah coach was formally introduced at Florida on Tuesday, getting a campus tour and meetmg hts new team for the tirst time since agreeing to a seven-year, $14 million contract. He said all the right things, too. He talked about winnino championships. praised coach Steve Spunier and said he has no aspirations to coach in the NFL. He even took shots at Florida State and Tennessee. recalling famed Spunier lines about ·'Free Shoes University" and "You can 't spell Citrus with UT." · 'This is a place you can put your feet down hopefully for a long time," he said. Although Meyer will coach the fitih-ranked Utes against No. 19 Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl. he alreadv has started working for the Gators. He called recruits over the weekend and began what will be a difficult month of transition from one program to the other. He spent the weekend celebrating his team's Bowl Championship Series berth. had dinner with Aorida athletic director Jeremy Foley on Monday and flew to Gainesville on a private jet with hi s wife and three children Tuesday morning. Then he got a complete tour, capped by a visit to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. His eyes widened as he walked into "The Swamp;' and noticed references to the six Southeastern Conference ti ties, the two Heisman Trophy winners and the 1996 national championship. He also .saw an altered photo of himself wearing an orange and blue Gators jacket - on both scoreboards along with a welcome message. He already knew expecta-· tions would be high, but his trip into the recently renovated stadium made it a reality. "Is it the toughest conference in the country? Absolutely.
