Marshall hopes to Brewers edge Reds eliminate turnovers against Tennessee BY JOHN RABY Associated Press • HUNTINGTON. W.Va. - Five turnovers were only a temporary slowdown for Marshall in a season-opening vtctory over Dtvtsmn 1AA Hofslra. Doing the same thing Saturday at Tennessee wou ld be devastating. . · Marshall knows it must be close to pertect against the 12th-ranked Volunteers at I 04,079-seat Neyland Stadium in what will be the largest crowd ever to see the Thundenng Herd play. . . . .. ''We've got a chore 111 front of us. coach Bob Pruett said Tuesday. "The llliiiUte you show a weakness, they're going to stomp you. There's no other way to put it - we're in a war. "We ·have to go down there and certain ly d iminate turnovers. We've got to be able to protect the passer." ,. Junior quarterback Stan Hill fumbled the ball away twice and threw three mtercepttons in last Saturday's 45-2 1 win. ''They were my fault. and it just happens. I guess," Hill said. ''I've got to hold on!o the. ball a little tighter and be more prote(.·uve ot the football." Two of Hill's interceptions glanced otT receivers' hands on sl ightly high throws . One of those off the hands of Tremel Gmllory resulted in a 94-yard interception return. The. other tipped interception was off the hands ot Brad Bates. Overall. Pruett was pleased with the performance of Hill. who threw for a career-high 344 yards. ''He gets the ball up high every now and then. He's just got to get the ball down a Ill! I~ hit. He was on target there prelty much. Pruett said. "He had five drops and three interceptions out of 35 passes. He completed 25. That's really a pretty good da{' To have a good day agamst Tennessee.

He certainly did Tuesday night, hitting . a double and two singles and .dnvmg 111 two nms. httmg the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. · . "Eddie's defense is always top-notch," Milwauk~e manager Ned Yost smd. But he has a knack for coming up with the big hit, too." After the Brewers s4uandered a 3-0 lead. Perez hit a tiebreaking double off Danny Graves (4- 15) in the eighth. driving in Wes Helms from first on a hit-and-run. Reliever Luis Vizcaino (43) pitched a peri'ect eighth. - Dan Kolb pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to eam his 15th straight save. tying the cluh's best since entering the National League in 1998. Bob Wickman had 15 straight saves in 1999. · Milwaukee has won 13 of 15. and 3 of 4 since having Marshall receivers will have to minimize dropped passes - the Herd had five against Hofstra. They ' ll also have to assist top threats Darius Watts and Josh Davis. who combined for 14 catches and 210 yards Saturday. No other receiver had more than twn t:atches.. . "They're goi ng to be keying on Josh and Darius . It will be good f(lf us Ill have a btg game and help out the offense.'' said tight end Jason Rader. Bates. who missed half of last season with a knee injury. wasn't satisfied w.ith.gelting just two cat.:hes for four vards 111 hts ltrst start. "This is a lot more serious than Hofstra," Bates said. "It was good getting my feet ":et, hut I've ~ot T~mtessee up thts week. So we ve llot to ~et mor~ focust"d. " . " Marshall also must have success on the "round. The Thundering Herd ran .for 26 1 yards against Hofstra. but Pruett knows that won't happen on Saturday. "I don't know the last time anybody had 250 yards against Tennessee." Pruett said . Fresno State was held to minus- I yard on 24 rushing attempts in a 24-6 loss to the . Volumcers last SaiUrday. Marshall will seek its first win against a teani ranked in The Associated Press Top 25.

"We've going to have to eliminate pretty much all the mistakes. We can 't even make hitie mistakes." Watts said. "It's going to be a precise game." BY ELIZABETH A. DAVIS Associated Press KNOXVILLE. Tenn . Casey Clausen was so upset about throwing an interception Fresno State returned 81 yards for a touchdo~n he apo lo~ized to the detenstve coordmator for blowing the shutout. Even though the Vols won the season opener 24-6, it was not the finest performance for Tennessee's senior quarterback .. His mediocre throwing and two interceptions didn't he.lp win over fans who sttll haven't jumped on the C lausen bandwagon and believe he doesn't measure up to his predecessors, Tee Manin and Peyton Manning. Clausen hopes to be better when the 12th-ra nked Vols ( 1-0) host Marshall (1-0) on Saturday. "I wasn ' t as sharp as I should have been . The biggest thing is we won the game, but I want to play well," Clausen said Tuesday. "There were a lot of things I could have done better." 'Coach Phillip Fulmer blamed Clausen's mediocre game on Fresno State's shifty defense and Tennessee's new receivers. Offensive coordinator Randy Sanders said the ball was slippery from the center's sweatmg. "Casey has played better and will play better in the future . He did manage the ga me very well," Fulmer said . But Clausen didn't offer excuses. He said the<offense adjusted to Fresno State 's defense at halftime, the receivers were mostly where . they were supposed to be and that a wet ball wasn't a problcni. \'If I play well, we did . gobd. I don ' t play well, I'll take the heat," he said. "It's part of it. If you can't take the heat, you shouldn't play quarterback ." Quarterbacks usually get the most scrutiny. But c ·lausen had the additional burden of following Martin, who led the Vols to the 1998 national championship, and the revered Peyton Manning, who holds most Tennessee passing records. Clausen. of Northridge. Calif., won the starting job five games into his freshman year and led th': Vols to SIX straight wins betore a loss 111 the Cottoo Bowl to Kansas State. Entering his senior year. Clausen is second behind only Mannmg 111 Tennessee record books in six career categories. And he did the one thing Manning couldn't: beat Florida. But to many Vols fans. Clausen. isn't in the same league . "It's big shoes to fill when you come in an\) you're the next quarterhack alter two guys who ' ve had streets named after them:· said Sanders. a former Tennessee quarterback. "For a competitor like Casey, it's a situation he wants to be in." " In . a lot of ways , Tennessee fans are spoi led by what we ' ve been able to get from our quarterback position in the past." Clausen and the Vols .looked good at the stan of the game, opening with . an eight-p lay, 76-yard dnve capped by a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Banks. Clausen went 4-@f-6 in the series. • from Page 81 rowed from a local dealership. Claret! laler said he exaggerated the value of the items sto len.

For ·the Parish which ministers to the disadvantaged in Meigs County, it was a long-awaited victory. Several times during the conslruction of the new Meigs Elementary School that resulted in vacating the Pomeroy building, Keith Rader. Parish director, had met with the Meigs Local Board of Education to discuss plans on how it could be used to benefit the community.

Leasing W<ts dismissed us an option, mtd buying the building at auction became a viable solution. The Meigs Local Board of Education already considering an auction for the Harrisonv ille school decided to do the same with the Pomeroy building. Both auctions were held last night. The winning bid of $26,000 on the Hanisortville school came from Rex Vance of Rutland. The property Vance bough! includes the building and 3 1/2 acres around it. Earlier the Board of Educalion had given 3 1/2 acres including the balltields and adjacent land around the building to the s;fpporters· of the Meigs Cooperative Parish 's effort to purchase the old Pomeroy school for Scipio Township trustees expansion of family assistance and youth programs were ecs~atic when the auction was over for recreational purposes. and the Parish came out the winner.

The Amish do not believe in modern conveniences such as electricity and automobiles. Steven L.

The most serious wounds were to his lungs and left Uppt'r chamber of his heart. No arrest has been made . Keirn was born into an Amish family. but his family left the Amish church and became Mennonites. ~ aid Yoder. who knew Keirn. "He was a real outgoing person, always willing to help you." Yoder said. Mennonites share similar beliefs with the Amish. but drive cars and utilize more · modern conveniences. Keim was with about 10 other members of the Amish community. ages 15 to 23. who told the sheriff's of!ke that they were throwing tomatoes and tiring paintball guns at passing vehicles. The crime scene is marked hy tmmpled corn stalks that interrupt an otherwise uni form stretd1 of 7-foot high roadside · corn. About eight rows into the corntield. well hidden from the road, sit two huckets cotitaining rotting tomatoes covered with llies. According to the sheritT's department. the driver of a Lincoln or Cadillac stopped. got out and threatened to shoot whoever threw the tomatoes Monday night. The vehicle turned around and drove past the cornfie ld again. The car was struck with tomatoes a second time. About 25 minutes l;tter the vehicle tmveled past the cornfield two more times. On a third pass. the driver stopped and challenged the group to throw more tomatoes. then fired three to five rounds into the cornfield. The sheriff's department did not have a suspect. only a vague description of a middleaged male of medium height. Demas Mast. 79, said he has faith that the sheriff's depanment will arrest the shooter. "People won't be resting too good until they know who it is at least," said Ivan Miller. 41. "He should be punished. The guy lost it.;. Yoder. who is Amish. said that his son was among the group hiding in the cornfield and is thankful that he was not injured. ''It's not just the Amish." Yoder said.'The English.. Mennonites ;uv all involved in it." Yoder. 44. said he committed his share of pranks when he w:ts you ng. As an adult. he's been on the receiving end of a few thrown tomatoes. but he said the only sensible thing to do is keep traveling and report it later. "They shouldn' t have been thrt1wing tomatoes. but if pt'Ople start shooting people for throwing tomatoes, this country's in bad shape." said Wayne Miller, an Amish man from nearby Kidron.

"Very often their popula· lion is students who bave not had success in traditional classrooms," J.C. Benton, an Education Department spokesman, said Wednesday. "Also. we recognize that many children enter community schools two to three years behind their peers in traditional schools or dist~icts so there's a steeper learning curve that needs to take place." Opponents of charter schools say the schools aren't living up to their promtse tu prov1de a competitive alternative to traditional schools. "I' ll grant they've got kids mostly not doing well and struggling," said Tom Mooney, president Of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, a teachers union that claims in a lawsuit that charter schools violate the Ohio constitution. "We should expect to see improvement, and we're not seeing it." Thirty additional charter schools that received report cards did not get a ranking . Either the schools didn ' t have enough grades to qualify or taught such a small number of children that test scores could have been connected to actual students . Benton said. Of six Hope Academy schools run by Akron-based White Hat Management, a for profit business, four were in academic emergency and one in academic watch. A sixth received no rating, meaning its classes were likely too small to qualify. "Charter schools continue to serve students who have been disenfranchised from local public schools and are coming into charter schools at all grade levels significantly behind academically." said Mark Thimmig, president of White Hat Ventures. which runs the Hope academies. "It's not going to be a surprise to me what happens when we provide proficiency tests to these people." For example. 31 percent of fourth graders at the Hope Academy-Brown Street Campus in Akron passed the reading proficiency test. up from 14 percent the year before. The state standard is 75 percent. In southern Ohio, the Community Sciotoville School received a ranking of continuous improvement, the middle of five academic ratings. The 7-12 school of about 350 students was created two ye\trs ago after Portsmouth city schools closed its Sciotoville high school. "We surrounded ourselves with experienced teachers, an experienced business manager. an experienced administrator," Principal Dennis DeCamp said Wednesday. "We are veteran educators of the public sehoul system - we have a vision of what it takes to manage the books as well as ·produce an instructional curriculum to meet the needs of our kids."

Diane K. Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor ' VIEW 40 Hours A work swndard taken for granted Tile Herald-Dispatcl1 of Huntinglo11: The 40-hour work week - established by federal law in \938 - is something most American workers take for granted. But now. the Bush administration and some Repi.!blicans in Congress are pushing changes that would significantly erode that familiar standard . The law now requires that most workers must be paid time and a half for any hours they put in over and above the 40hour week. A number of proposed changes would dramatically alter that. The U.S. Department of Labor wants to dramatically expand provisions in the Fair Labor Standards Act exempting white-collar workers from overtime protection. The result would eliminate an estimated 650,000workers from collecting overtime. Republican-sponsored legislation in the House would substitute compensatory time off - so-called "comp time" - for overtime pay for millions of workers. Of cpurse, employers, not employees, would decide when and if that comp time was taken. Meanwhile. a GOP-backed bill in the Senate would abolish the 40-hour work week entirely. Under it. employees would not be required to give workers any extra compensation - in either time or money - unless they worked more than 80 hours in two weeks or 50 hours in one week. If this legislation is enacted, warns Sen. iay Rockefeller. DW. Va .. "workers will end up working lol'lller hours for less money, employers will be free to schedule more overtime work and ultimately families will have less income and less family time together." The 40- hour week has stood the test of time. We see no excuse for tampering with it. The Democrats· chances of beating President Bush in 2004 were. sharply reduced last week by one closelywatched economic number. The Commerce Department".s report that the economy was exparnling at a 3. 1 percent annual rate in the second quarter must have sent a pall of gloom over the Democratic National Committee headquarters here. not to mention the campaign offices of the Democratic presidential contenders. Barring some catastrophic setback in the war on terrorism. next year's presidential election is going to be decided by the state of the econo" my. Who says so? Why, all of the Democratic candi(jates. That single issue is at the core of their campaign agendas, such as they are. But last wee.k 's strong. upward revision in the nation's gross domestic product - which measures all the goods and services America produces and sells - dealt a sharp blow to the Democrats' chief domestic issue. It's virtually impossible to overstate both the economic and political importance of the elevated GDP growth rate. The rate announced in early August was 2.4 percent, much higher than the anemic 1.4 percent rate of the previous six months. There was cheering in the White House when the revised estimate ·came out Thursday morning, showing much stronger consumer demand and business investment, as well as an upsurge in manufacturing for durable-goods orders. Part of the growth surge was due to increases in defense spending in the war on terrorism. but a lot of it is also due to the administration's $350 billion tax-cut package. which is working its way into the economy. Income tax withholding rates are down in worker paychecks, about $30 billion in child tax-credit refund checks have gone out to 25 million families this summer. and business tax credits are being implemented to buy equipment for future expansion. While Bush's Democratic opponents have pounded his $1.7 trillion in tax cuts over the past three years. the fact is that it has resulted in higher after-tax incomes for most households. The total economic stimuIus from this year's steppedup tax cuts won't be known until the third-quarter GDP number~ are out in November. That's when we will see the full impact of the child tax-credit refund checks sent out in July and August. We have already seen incremental numbers this summer that bode well for the rest of .the year and beyond. Retail sales jumped by 1.4 percent in July and will likely rise higher as a result of back-to-sehoul buying. In June. U.S. factory orders saw their biggest increase in three months . Home sales have been spec· tacular, too. due to lower interest rates, though mortgage rates have crept upward lately and housing sales have slowed- though they are still in record territory. But the most breathtaking number in the revised second quarter GDP figures was consumer spending. which shot up by 3.8 percent -nearly twice as fast as the 2 percent rate between January and March. Rising corporate earnings have also been a big story thi s summer, driving stock values higher and boosting worker pensions and other stock portfolios . Bush's tax cuts on stock dividends ( 15 percent) are also fueling the bull market. Nearly 800 companies have announced dividend increa~­ es this year - up from 550 dividend hikes announced at this point last year. All of thi s is raising the economy's growth rate to highs that few would have predicted just a few months ago. Bush's econom ic advis- ers have boosted their esti ~ mates to 3.5 percent or more by year's end , and into the 4 percent range in 2004 . Other economists are even more optimistic about future growth. Sung Won Sohn , chief economist at Wells Fargo & Co .. says economi'c growth will run at close to 5' percent in the last six months of this year. Predictably. at least for the time being. none of this' good news seems to have changed the Democrats' persistent attacks on the Bush economy. Their campaign rhetoric remains frozen in a 2001-2002 recession time warp. The day that Commerce. officials released their revised 3.1 pen:ent GDP number. Sen . John Kerry was condemning the Bush: economy. saying that he "hasn't lifted a finger" to strengthen it. Political reporters continue to write ahout "the sluggish economy." But the economy is clear~ ly growing at a very rapid. pace and will likely acceler·· ate in the mon.ths to come.: My predictions: the GDP at' nearly 4 percent. the Dow at I 0.000. and unemployment in a steep decline by year's end. · Danny Staats Board to meet ( Was!ting ton invesri garive' reporter Donald Lanibro Is the author of "Far City: How Was!tingtorl Wastes Your Taxes " ( Regenry.)

A coal-burning power plant was already out and a nuclear reactor was struggling to get enough electricity. "We have no clue," an engineer at the FirstEnergy Corp. control center in Ohio responded when a regional grid monitor asked what was happening. During the 35 minutes before the nation's worst blackout raced across eight states from Michigan to New' York, there was a sense of confusion, uncertainty and anxiety among technicians trying to maintain control of the Ohio power system owned by FirstEnergy, according to transcripts ·released late Wednesday. The company and its opera· tion of the grid system south of Cleveland have been at the center of the investigation into the blackout, although FirstEnergy officials have said there were problems on other systems across the Midwest that afternoon, not · just in its service area. Members of the House {'inergy and Commerce Committee were expected to closely question FirstEnergy officials about its power line problems during the hour before the blackout and how its technicians responded when It resumed a second day of hearings into the blackout Thursday. The transcripts, copies of which were released by the committee, were expected to be a focus. On Wednesday, Energy Secretary Spencer Abr.iliam. who is heading the government's investigation into the outage, told the House panel that it was too early to conclude what precisely caused the blackout. "We won't jump to conclusions," he said. Separately, the head of an industry-sponsored power grid reliability watchdog said that last year the industry had 444 tr.msmission operating violations nationwide, including some that had a potential of causing a cascading system failure. Michehl Gent. president of the North American Electric Reliability Council, said it was "premature" to say whether the type of violations reported in 2002 might have played a role in the blackout. Compliance with NERC's rules is voluntary and carry no penalties. In all, the House panel released 650 pages of transcripts of telephone communi- cations provided by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, including exchanges between MISO grid monitors and FirstEnergy, during the afternoon of Aug. 14.

More Ohioans continuing education through GED .

The GED is the equivalent of a high school diploma. designed for those who did not gruduute from high school in four years. GED certification provides people with added opportunities in the job market and allows many workers to become eligible for promotion in their current jobs. Census data from the year 2000 show that more Ohioans than ever be!()l'e are gettin~ the GED. Locally, the Gallta-Jackson- Vinton JVSD. Adult Basic and Literacy Education program offers classes for those who wish to study for the GED exam. For many, getting a GED signifies a return to education, becoming a stepping-stone to post-secondary schooling.

On the other end, there's Southern (0-2) which has struggled this season to an 02 start by a combined score of 91-6. On Friday, the two teams will meet at Rebel Field. South Gallia head coach Justy Burleson is pleased with hi s team's overall offensive performance last week, not simply because of the points pul on the board, but the lack of turnovers . "We really didn't do a whole lot of things different than we did in week one (a 14-6 loss to Eastern)," said Burleson. "It was just we eliminated a lot of mistakes. We really didn't play that ~ood of a tirst half. In actualIty, when you look a1 the film, we were terrible.

Instead, even though the Buckeyes can almost eliminate Clarett from thetr plans for the 2003 season, he remains a gigantic distraction. : '" We'll have to let the days play out," :Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger said Tuesday nighi as he indicated Clarett may not return thi s season. "There are I00-some other players and coaches involved in this program and we're now Eagles from Page B1 the year was Fort Frye and this week the most important game is going to be Wahama." Last week against Fort Frye, Eastern used a strong performance from the offensive line and the Eagle running backs.l Eastern tailback Bryan Minear, who rushed for two touchdowns in the week two win, will be the focus of the Wahama defensive effort. Their tai lback is probably their big player, and I feel like if we stop, him, that could help things a lot,' said Marauders from Page B1 road at Athens (2-0). "They played two extremely good football teams, two the better teams in this area," commented Dee I. "The record really doesn't show what type of team they are. We played a couple of teams that are good, but they played a couple of excellent football teams." River Valley opened with a win over Southeastern and defeated NelsonvilleYork 20-6 last week, both those teams are sti II winless entering week three. Despite the rough start for Meigs, head coach Mike Chancey is happy with the team's work ethic believes his Marauders wi ll only get better. "We fiave a Jot of good kids and obviou s!~ they are not happy about getting beat.' he said. "They have c·ame back and worked hard in practice ,md I believe they're going to stick togeth- in _the midst of playing games. We are really anxious to get this thing behind us." Claret! is caught between the life of being a student and a student-athlete. He has been suspended from the team for breaching the NCAA's rules of amateurism and for misleading investi ~ator s looking into hi s off-the-tield behavtor. The sophomore, who set Ohio State freshman records of 1,237 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns last year, remains on scholarship but cannot practice with the Buckeyes. His future w1th the team is as cloudy as Ohio skies the past few weeks. Ohio State, which beat Washington 289 without Claret! on Saturday in its openWahama coach Ed Cromley. "In one of the scrimmages we saw, they were all spread out trying to throw the ball a lot. They ' ve went away from that, and back to Eastern football - smashmouth Power"I - and that is what I think they wi ll try to do against us." . Newland said that he does indeed intend to run the pigskin, but may have to try some different things because of the white Falcons' tremendous team speed on defense. "We're going to run the ball obviously, that 's what we do the best," explained Newland. "I think this week, we' re going to have to pass the ball a little bit. 'They are really fast (on defense). I know they have some really good players on the defensive side of the ball . er and continue to improve with every week." As for this week's contest, Chancey expects another tough gridiron battle, which has become the norm in recent years. ''I think it's going to be a heck of a football game," Chancey said. "Their kids execute and play hard. In order to win the football game, were goi ng to have to make su~ we're ready to play physically and mentally for four quarters of football." Last week at Athens, Meigs was outgained 429 to 11 2 in total yards from scrimmage. "We haven't had success offensively, part of that we've stopped ourselves With turnovers in part of it we've played two very good football teams," Chancey explained. River Valley was also outgained by a sizable margin in the yardage department, but the outcome was much different. "Last week, Nelsonville out gained us 330 yards to 179. and we were still able to win by two touchuowns," said Deel.

Rrver Valley looked as if it was going to walk to an easy win, but then , something happened. ·"We had some seniors take leadership," said Knight. "Tessa Haggerty took the ball in her hands and hit it perfect and (Whitney) Williams played super defense and hit the ball well too . I just think our seniors stepped up tonight, I'm really proud of them be~ause we need that leadership." GA HS pulled to within four of the lead at 14-l 0, but River Valley was able to hold off the late charge and take game one. However. the momentum gained by the Angel s carried over to games two and three. "We had things going our way, then all of a sudden things started shifting and we just kind of detlated," commented , ·Vannoy. "Momentum switched totally, we got too conservative, we kept trying to tip the ball." GAHS went on to games two and three by back-toback score s of 15-4. Haggerty and Williams each contributed 13 points each at the service line for the winners and also added 15 and four kills respectively. Godwin had River Valley team highs in points with 10 and assists with ·15. .

The tr.msfer is.the first step in the village's plans to save the buildings from the wrecking ball and to develop the buildings for public use. The village plans to convert the elementary building into a municipal hall and jail facility, but while architectural plans for the new facility have been completed, no funding for the conversion has been secured. The plans call for new construction of the jail facility on the back portion of the 40 year-old elementary school, and for the conversion of existing classroom space into offices for the public works and tax departments and mayor. A new council · chamber is also included in those plans. The fate of the high school and central buildings are less certain. A citizens committee is now considering use of the high school building as a multi-purpose community center.
