REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM REEDSVILLE - Those who fish for bass at Forked Run State Park or catfish from the Ohio River should limit their consumption of the !ish they catch there because of chemical contamination , according to an advisory from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA has up<.lated its advisories for consumption of fish from Ohio waters. easing its restricti on on Ohio Ri ver catfish and tightenin g the recommendation on largemouth bass from Forked Run Lake. The state park is one of th ree Ohio fishing locations where consumption warnings are more restrictive than a statewide advisory. A statewide limit of one weekly meal of sport fish caught frotn Ohio waters remains in place, but Forked Run and Lake Hope and Wakatomika Creek -. also in southeastern Ohio - are subject to a one-meal-per-month restriction. The state previously had recommended limitin g consumption of bass from Forked Run to once per week. The state also has modified its restriction for Ohio River catfish, recommending consumption once every two mon.ths instead of not at all. "The reason different species are included in the advisory is that certain fish are bottom fee<.lers. and fish who eat from the bottom of the body of water can ingest more of the chemical in que,tion ... said Linda Fee Oros of the EPA. "Thme bottom feeders -like catfish - can have more of the chemical in their ti"ue ." '·Larger fi sh tend to be included in a more stringent advisory hecau'e of their place in the food chain," Oros Please see EPA. AS OBITUARIES Page AS • Rodney M. Pierce • Rev. Paul E.

Kofi Annan, must be sacked, says many a Republican on Capitol Hill. Conservat1 ves everywhere are m high dudgeon over the UN. oil-for-food scandal. And certainly. the tale of how Saddam Hussetn evaded and explmted U.N. sanctions to reap more than $21 b1lhon in illegal profits from 1990 to 2003 is tawdry and venal. But tt's also not qutte as stmple as Fox News clatms. Pinnmg blame tsn't easy. Here's a gmde to a few key players and their roles: Saddam Hussem After Saddam mvaded Kuwait in 1990, the United Nations barred him from protltmg from sales of Iraq 's vast oil supplies The ban was meant to keep him from rebUilding hiS military and pursu ing a nuclear weapons program. But it also depnved the Iraqi economy of its mam export, lead•ng to hunger and depri vat JOn among his people - a condition Saddam hoth exacerbated (by hoardmg what wealth his country did possess) and pubhcized to wm international sympathy Support for the sanctions gradually eroded, and m 1996 the United Nat1ons created the otl-for-food program, through which Iraq could resume ml sales to pay for humamtanan goods such as food and med1cine Saddam exploited the renewed oil tlow m three ways. First, he simply 1gnored the sanctiOns and illegally sold o1i to Syna. Turkey, Jordan and other countnes. wuh no U N supervision. According to a Senate subcommittee investtgat•on, Saddam reaped about $ 13.6 billion - his biggest source of tlilcu mcome . Second, Saddam and ill s mmions used tricky pncmg schemes, surcharges and kickbacks to m1lk another $7 bilhon or more fro m oli buyers and sellers of human• tartan supphes. These schemes were poss1ble because Saddam had successfu lly argued at the United Nations that as a soveretgn nation. Iraq should be allowed to negotiate contracts d~rectly. Leg1ttmate Iraqi 011 prutits went to a U.N.-controlled escrow account, but kickbacks were secretly routed by comphclt companies to hidden regime bank accounts Saddam also rece1ved kickbacks tram goods Iraq purchased with 011 money. Third, Saddam bnbed foretgn officials and others. He oversaw a hst of people who were given vouchers to buy iraqi oli at below -mark et pnce - essentmlly. multJbuy-otts . mlilion-dollar The1r appatent purpose was to wi11 Saddam defenders 111 his fight to lift U.N. sanctions Koft Annan The Ghanatan diplomat (who took over the Umted Nations 111 early 1997) hurt hnnself by re spo nding slowly as new details about oilfor-food corruption emerged from Iraqi Iiles that were dtscovered after the war and from reg1me officials who were captured. And he's not granting Senate investi gators full access to U.N. documents and personnel. But Annan has made efforts to get to the bottom of things In April , he appomted for- mer ,U.S Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to mount an lntemal U.N invesugallon. Indeed, both Prestdent Busl1 and Britain's Pnme Mtmster Tony Blmr have s1gnaled their support for Annan, '" has the U N General A"embly Kojo Annan Annan -bashing spiked after it s urfaced that Cotecna. a S wt ss trad e in spec tJOn company th.tt won <1 $4 8 million contracl under the o1 l-for-food program. was making payments to Kotl's son, Kojo Kojo worked lor Cotecna from 1996 to 1998, the year the company was contracted to monttor o1l-tor-food shipme llls into Iraq U.N. otTtcmls had prevtou,Jy sa1d that paym ent s to Kojo ended soon alter he lett Cotecna . But last month Kof1 Annan, calling Jumself "very dtsappointed and surpnsed." admitted that Kojo recetved monthly payments ol $2.500 untll at leelst last February. No one has unpl•cated Kofi Annan 111 the award mg ul Cotecna's co ntract. however.

Ohio and its 20 electoral votes determined the outcome of the election, tipping the race to Bush when Democrat John Kerry conceded the next morning. The state declared Bush the winner by 119,000 votes, and counties are in the middle of the recount. which the Kerry campaign supports. Prosecutor: No evidence of election tampering seen from computer repair LOGAN (AP) Prosecutors and local police found no evidence of election tampering when they watched Monday as a technician repeated a repair to a tallying computer that led a congressman to request an FBI investigation. Observers including Green Party representatives who requested a presidential recount agreed the procedure did not alter the hard drive where data are stored, Hocking County Prosecutor Larry Beal said. ··Everybody felt better:· he said. · A deputy elections director in the southeast Ohio co unty had said in a sworn statement that a technician with the county's computer vendor took apart the compu ter attached to the main punchcard ballot tabulator. The repair worried her because the computer· needed to be working before last week\ recount. Ohio and its 20 el~ctoral votes determined the outcome of the election. tipping the race to Bush when Democrat John Kerry conceded the next morning. The state declared Bush the winner by I I 9.000 votes, and counties are in the middle of the recount, which the Kerry campaign supports. Activists challenging President Bush ·s election win in Ohio used the deputy elections directors statement Friday in asking the Ohio Supreme Court for an emergency order for elections boards to impound all data and vote tabulatin g eq uipment. The court hasn "t acted on the request. And U.S. Rep. John Conyers. a Michigan Democrat compiling examples of voting irregularities in Ohio. asked the FBI to con liseate the computer and investigate "'l ikely illegal election tampering.'' The agency hadn't yet decided whether to open an investigation. said agen t Michael Brooks, FBI spokesman in Cinci nnati . '"We welcomed the challenge because we knew nothing was going to be found wrong,'" countv elections director Lisa Schwitrtze said Monday after the demonstration. Elections ofticials. a Green Party representative. prosecutors and the Logan patrolman who investigates computer crimes were among the observers as the same technician repeated the repair and answered questions. He had to do it twice because only half the group could fit in the room. Bt1'lt Rapp. president of Xenia. Ohio-ba.<;ed elections vendor TRIAD Governmental Systems Inc., explained that the 14-year-old qJmputer's inteiTil~ battery needoo tor rebooting was low. The technician swapped the hllnJ drive to a newer machine to read the information needed for rel:xxlt before reinstalling it in the original. 'The actual votes are stored on the punch-card ballots,'" Rapp !iaid. "''The machine simply counts the votes. During this \vhole process, the bl~lots were locked up.'" Messages seeking-comment were left Monday with Conyers' Washington office. Cliff Arnebeck, the lead attorney .challenging the Bush win, said he wasn't satisfied because the entire vote counting system "'is subject to hacking.'1 "People are turning functions over to computer techni cians and basically trusting them not to manipulate the system in an improper way," he said. Hocking completed its recount last week- Bush and Kerry each gained one vote, preserving Bush's 762-vote win in the county. Green Party representatives told Schwartze on Monday they would challenge the recount because the cou nty did not use a truly random procedure in selecting 3 percent of ballots for a hand count as required under state law. The co unty picked from only the five precincts that each had enough ballots to equal 3 percent, instead of randomly picking from all precincts until there were enough to equal 440 ballots. With 76 of Ohio's 88 counties reporting final recounts to The Associated Press as of Monday, including the large urban counties of Cuyahoga. Hamilton and Franklin, Bush had gained 425 votes and Kerry has gained 570 votes. The running tally accounts for 4. 8 mi II ion votes cast, or about 86 percent of the total certified vote from the Nov. 2 election.

There were so man)' empty seats at Cavaliers games that th.: thenowner threatened to move the team. Multimillionaire businessman and Cleveland native Gordon Gund swooped in with $20 million to buv the Cavaliers. something he-later football and baseball in this country make taking on an NBA fran.:hise risky. experts said. But having the league's , reigning Rookie of the Year LeBron James on the squad makes the Cavaliers more attractive for a potential bll)'er. Noll and other sports marketing experts said. "A11y sale or value of a franchi;e is based on the net revenue value of future revenue streams, and the team f seemingly is poised or a pretty healthy future." said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon . Swangard s:lid Monday thm plusses for the Cavs, at least for now, include "the re-emereence of the franchise in Cleveland . with obviously. said was more than a good deal -it was also a chance to help keep the NBA in his hometown . Two decades and one superstar player later, Gund appears ready to be rewarded for his investment. He's in negouatwns to se ll the Cleveland team at a reported price tag of $375 million. LeBron James spearheading That's not a bad return for that. .. Gund at . a time when some . 0\'er the past year. the other teams are struggling Cavaliers signed 21 new corfinancially. said Roger Noll, porate spo nsorships and now an econom1cs professor at have more than 60. creating Stanford University whose newl y generated revenue in specialties include sports the millions. Season ticket busine ss. sales have gone up and merFear of a lockout next sea- chandise sales went from the son, the high-profile c011tro- bottom to the top of the versy over this year's brawl in lea~ue . Detroit and uncertainty about "It just shows you what a the financial future of a sport difference success can make ." that still isn' t as popular or Swangard said. But while James may be a profitable as profess ional golden investment today, keeping him and other soonto-be free agents such as center Zydrunas llgauskas could be a challenge new owner inherits. " It could be a blessing and curse. The team has just seen an amazing transformation with LeBron sort of being the lightening rod for that, and yeL we still live in a sports environment where very few athletes stay in the same market through the course of their t·areers." Swangard said. "You don't just want them (fans) tied to one player, you want th em tied to the Cavaliers brand.'' Noll. who has consulted for some pro-teams, said Gund is among a group of business people who have turn ed big profits with the time-tested rule: buy low, sell high. "Since about 1970, sports franchises have been appreciating much more rapidly than most other business assets. and nearly all teams that are held more than five years sell for su bstantially more than they cost,'' Noll said. The Cavs turn around hasn't just filled Gund's pockets. The city of Cleveland, which has laid off police officers. firefighters and teachers because of a budget deficit. said it's also benefiting since il gets a portion of ticket sales a at Gund Arena. which was built with >Dille taxpayer money. ··1 don't have an exact number. but with more people buying tickets, the city gets more money," said David Fitz. spokesman for Mayor Jane Campbell. That windfall means the city got a bit nervous when Gund announced two weeks ago that he was in serious talks to sell the team. Gund met with Campbell and promised that any deal would include a vow - in writing - from the new owner to stay put, Fitz said. "Mr. Gund said he would not sell it to someone who would move the Cavs out of the city," Fitz said. " He wants the Cavs in Cleveland." Neither Gund or Cavaliers otlicials will talk in detail about the proposed sale or the team bu siness. Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken L-oans. is reportedly the potential buyer who also would get the operating rights to Cleveland's downt.own arena that draws concerts and other events. Swangard said that type of arrangement "is such a key ingredient for a modem franchise, the ability to tap into other revenue streams that aren't necessarily basketball driven.'' ~ at Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :;n t I '\ '" • \ ol. .> -~ · '\11 . H.-, CLEVELAND Eric Snow's suspension wasn't as tough as having to explain to hi s 6-year-old son why daddy wasn't at work. The Cavaliers guard apologized on Monday for his part in a heated exchange with Cleveland coach Paul Silas. who suspended the well-respected Snow for one game without pay fol lowing their clash in Detroit last week. ''He's the coach.'' Snow said. ''Everybody gets upse't when they come out of the game, but there' s no need to show frustration ... The Snow-Silas tonfrontation began when Cleveland' s second -year coach pulled Snow from the game following an eightsecond violation. Silas was upset that Snow hadn ' t taken control of the floor and sent in Jeff Mcinnis to replace him . On his way off the floor. Snow cursed in Silas' direction as he walked toward Cleveland's bench. Silas didn't stand for it, angrily confronting a seated Snow before ordering him to the locker room for the remain der of the first half. Snow returned to the bench after halftime hut did not play. On Saturday, Silas suspended Snow for one game, docking · him one game's paycheck - about $54.000 - and endin g his streak 248 consecutive games played. Snow. re garded as one of the NBA\ model players. sa id he and . Silas have patched up their differences. '' \\'e're moving on," Snow said after practice. "Things happen , unfortunately. I apologize to coach . I apologize to the fan s and the team so there is no need to dwell on it. It 's an unfortunate incident. It was a misundersta nding. bur he's still the coach and he's still allowed to make the deci sions that he wants to make and players got to live with it." While Snow was remorseful. Silas. who suspended forward Ira Newble last seaso n. said he has no regrets for the way he handled the.' situation . "If you look at any man agement-employee relationship. put yourself in that situation. Would you curse at your boss''" he said. " I posed that question to a player and he said .. 'I would hope he would only suspend me.· I could not see myself going to (ow ner) Gordon Gund and sayi ng anything like that .'' Making thin gs more regrettable for Snow was that the altercation came during a network TV game, and the incident received added national exposure because of Silas' 'memorable postgame tirade when he refused to comment. ask ing a reporter. "A m I speaking Chinese1" Snow was also troubled by having to tell hi s son, E.J .. who wondered why his fat her wasn't playing Saturday night. "I told him. ' Daddy had a di sag reement with the coach and that he respects the coach and liSien s to the coac h,''' Snow said. "And he said . 'Oh, OK daddy."' Snow. acquired by the Cavs in a July trade from Philadelphia, was informed of the suspension when he arrived for shootarmmd at Gund Arena and he mi ssed Saturday's game against the Bo ston Celtics. who beat Cleveland 114-107 in over; time. The 31-year-old Snow wa s one of five players nominated last year for the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, given for outstanding community service . Silas said his relationship with Snow won't be affected by the ir quarrel. ·'He 's one of my players and I love all of my players." he said. "I look at them as my kids and in any family rt'lationship you're going to have problems . You deal with them. you get them over with and you go on.

AP LOS ANGELES - .Rick Majeru s took a long look in the mirror and didn't see a guy ready to become the Southern California coach. Majeru s apologized Monday for backing out of the Trojans· basketball job le ss than a week after accepting it. saying he realized his health wouldn't allow him to put in the marathon work days he has in the past. "( made a mistake. I was blinded by this opportunity. But I' d be doing them a disservice and myself a disservice. Ri ght now I just can't bring it." a glum Majerus said at a news conference. "I looked at myself and thought that I was a phony. "I realiZed they weren't getting the guy they hired. I'm not fit enough for this job for my standards.'' Majerus sai d he didn't think he was being fa ir to the pi ayers or athlet ie director Mike Garrett. "They weren't going to get th e guy who puts .in 18hour days,'' Majeru s said. Majerus . 56. has had heart problems and an ongoing battle with his weight, which has been ' around 370 pounds He cited heallti concerns when he retired .as Utah's coach la st January after 15 seasons . He has been working as an analyst for ESPN. "I have a fitne ss issue. It all relates directly to my weight,'' he said. "I've got a problem. I know I need to do something. And I'm going to try hard to do something about it. .. . I don't want to have a Rick Majerus memorial game." "I think my health is good for probabl y anything other than to be an astronaut or a coach. I swam a mile and a quarter thi s morning just because I wa; so anxietyridden." Assistant Jim Saia. made the interim head coach after Henry Bibby was fired four games into the season, will remain' in the post for the rest of this season. Garrett said. Majerus was not scheduled -to take· over until April I. although he was go ing to work on recruiting until then. Garrett said the search for a coach will res ume. although he has set no timetable . He was disappointed that Majerus chan ge d his mind. but was still impressed after spending tim e with him. ''This is the shortest-lived head coaching job, I think. in th e history of NCAA ba sketball." Garrett said. "It 's a tremendou s loss for USC. He's the be st." Majeru s apologized several time s during the news conference held in the same room where his hiring was anooun ced last Wednesday. "My selfishness in wanti ng this job <llld then my stupidity in thinking that I could undertake this , put Mike Garrett and (assistant AD) Daryl Gros! in an untenable position. My apologies," Majerus said. "No one's hurt here_ They're going to get a great ~oach. get a coach better than I am. probably." Majerus , who plans to return to his ESPN job, guided Utah ttl the NCAA title game in 1998, losing to Kentuckv. one of the Utes' I0 NCAA tQur_n ament appearances during hi' tenure .
