V.'ith Central Michigan\ Ch ri s Kaman in the NBA and Kent State two years removed from its unexpected charge through the NCAA tournament, there's no cleqr favorite to win tl1e MAC "I think this year wi th a lot of teams returning a lot of players it's wide open," Kent State coach Jim Christi an said. " If you ask all 13 coaches. they might give you a dilferent team that they think cou ld win it ." If th ere is a team to beat. it's Northern Ill inois. which was picked to win the MAC in a preseason media poll . Northern Ill inois coach Rob Judson said his team was like ly selected because forward Marcus Small wood is the only returning all-MAC tirst-team player. Smallwood averaged a double-df!uble as a junior last season with 13.3 poults and I0. 1 rebounds. The Huski es, coming off their best record in the MAC since they rejoined the league in 1997, al so return guard P.J Smith , who along wi th Smallwood was nalned to the preseason all -MAC team after averaging 14.7 points last season. Miami. which averaged less than 59 points per game last season. is the media's pick to wi n the East di vision. "We need to score more points." Miami coach Charlie Co les ~aid. "I hope we can score 70 points a game this year. I think we could have a great year if we did that." The fact that the RedHawks return more than 90 percent of their scoring shou ld help. They bring back four starters, including guard Juby Johnson. who led the team wi th a 14.8 scori ng average. "I' m the same leader. but it's my last go-ro und, so I want it more." Johnson said. " I delinitely believe we have a lot ol firepower and our defense is getting better, which will also help us put more points on the board."

Rounding out the East is Marshall, which will have a new look with coach Ron Jirsa taking over, and Buffalo, which looks to climb out of bottom of the di vision behind guard Turner Battle. preseason all-MAC selection. Bowling Green will give Northern Illi nois a run in the West Division with its returning top scorer, 6-foot-10 center Kevin Netter. Falcons coach Dan Dakich said although the league has lost some key players, he's never seen so many returning starters. "Unless somebody reall y emerges as a great player, the story is going to be who can win. all these close games," Dakich said. Western Mkhigan was picked by the media to finish third in the West followed by Ball Stale. Toledo, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan. Western Michigan will be led by new coach Steve Hawkins and for ward Anthony Kann. "Every year I've been here, we've been getting consistently better." Kann said. ·'We've got a lot of good players coming back. I'm pretty excited for the year." Ball Stale returns four starters, including forward Cameron Echols. and Toledo brings back Keith Tripleu, who led the Rockets ~ith 16.8 points per game. Central Michigan appears due for a rebuilding year after dominating the MAC and reaching t,he second round of the NCAA tournament last season. The Chippewas have lost their four top scorers, including Kaman, who skipped his senior season and was taken sixth in the NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Kann said he wanted to defeat Central Michigan when Kaman was there. But that doesn 't mean he wishes Kaman was still in the MAC. "Now that he's gone, maybe it's not such a bad thing," Kann said. The rest of the league might agree. Chasi ng Miami will be Akron, Kent State. Marshall. Ohio and Buffalo. Akron returns tive-starters and has been working to improve a de fense that allowed almost 79 points per game against MAC opponents. The Zips will con ti nue· to score with a backcourt of sen iors Derrick Tarver and Johnny Hollingswo rth, who together averaged 38 poi nts per game last season. The guards make Akron the only team besides Northern Illinois lo have two preseason al l-MAC selecti ons. "We know we can score with anybody," Tarver said . "Ir we can play defense and rebound, we can put ourselves in a better sit uation to win .·· Kent State's season has already su ffe red a blow with the loss of junior center Nate Gerw ig follow ing surgery on his right knee. Ohio has lost its three leading scorers from last season: Brandon Hunter. Steve Esterkamp and Sonny Johnson.

CORRECTION Due to an oversight of The Daily Sentinel. not the Meigs County Treasurer's office. the following names were published as delinquent taxes but were adually over Clippers CLEVELAND (AP) Ricky Davis has a strange .way of controlling his temper. The volatile Cleveland guard kicked the ball into the stands after a hard foul by Corey Maggette while the Los Angeles Clippers were making a third-quarter run Tuesday night. "Just trying to stay calm," Davis explained. Davis and the Cavaliers stayed cool enough to hold off the Clippers 103-95 and end Los Angeles' four-game winning streak. LeBron James shot poorly . tium the outside but tinished with 14 points, seven rebounds and eight assists as the Cavaliers won their fourth straight home game. Maggerte downplayed his fo ul on Davis,. who had 27 points and four steals. "I didn ' t mean anything personal. I just tried to stop him from scoring and then held him up so nobody got hurt," Maggette said. Maggette fouled Davis on a fastbreak, wrapping hi s arms around him wtth Davis landing on Maggette's lap up against the post. Davis was called for a technical for booting the ball. After Maggette made a free throw and Davis made his two shot~ , Davis stole the ball from Maggette and slammed it home. Chris Mihm added a career-high 21 points for Cleveland. He shot 10-for-14 with nine rebounds in 36 minutes while filling in for Carlos Boozer, who left alter spraining his right ankle late in the tirst quarter. "Not just tonight, but for the last couple of weeks he ha> been playing great and giving us the support off the bench that we need to wm games," James said. Predrag Drobnjak had a season-high 20 points and. a career·high 13 rebounds to lead the Clippers. · "He was the spark that got us back into it," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "He didn't do real well in the ftrst half - none of us did." The Clippers shot just 21 percent in the ftrst half and played little defense. The Cavaliers led by as many as 28 and took a 58-361ead into halftime. "I just don't think we were ready to play," Quentin Richardson said. ''We knew we could get back into the . game, but we ran out of ga~ . You can't afford to give anybody in the NBA those kinds of leads to start off like that." The Clippers pulled within six points several times in the fourth quarter. With two min· utes left Drobnjak got a basket underneath, then Chris Wilcox got a steal and made a free throw lo pull the Clippers to 91-85. .. But Mihm hiJ, a baseline jumper · and Kevin Ollie scored on a drive on the next possession to. put Los Angeles away. Drobnjak led a second-half charge with 12 points in the third quarter to help spark a 14-2 run that got the Clippers back in it. Maggette had 19 points, and Richardson 17 for Los Angeles. Zydrunas llgauskas had 13 points and I0 rebounds for the Cavaliers. James shot 6-for-16 with nearly all of his points coming from point-blank range.

A high school and middle school had been bui It on the property that previously was a World War II Arm y depot where wastes and solvents were dumped and burned. State and federal agencies started investigating the site six years ago after parents became concerned about a high incidence of leukemia amon g high school graduates. While toxic chemicals were found in the soil, investigators could not link the cancers to the school site. Still, with the help of the government, the schools were relocated and opened this year. The Corps of Engineers plans to remove and dispose of about 19,700 cubic feet of soil from the site and prepare it for future commercial or industrial use. The Corps already has spent $ I 5 million on River Valley school re locations and about · $10 million for the ongoing environmental investigation. "I think we have made a lot of progress, and I think the comnumity will be pleased when we are tinished with the cleanup," said Corps spokeswoman Kimberlee Turner. COLUMBUS , (AP) Gov. Bob Taft is threatening to veto concealed carry legislation unless it requires the state to dis-close the names of those who are issued permits. In a letter to House and Senate leaders dated Tue sday, Taft said people have the right to know whether their friends , enemies or neighbors have a license to carry a concealed weapon . "It's also important for the public and, on behalf of the public, the news media to have access to basic information about the permit process itself," Taft wrote, "information to determine, for example, how many permits get issued and where they are issued." The governor's veto threat comes as legislators try to resolve differences between House- and Senate-passed versions of the bill. Both versions call for exempting permit in for- mation from public scrutiny. Taft asked lllwmakers "to : require a licensee's name, dale of birth and county of residence to be pub Iic; and shield from disclosure information about an applicant's mental competency. drug abuse or alcoholi sm. House Speaker Larry Householder dismissed Taft's request. ''The whole idea of concealed carry is criminals don't know if you're armed," Householder spokesman Dwight Crum said. Taft spokesman Ores! Holubec said the governor grew concerned about the disclosure provisions after newspapers began calling attention to them. Holubec said last week that the govemor ex pressed concern about the privacy requirement, but he had stopped short of sayingraft wou ld veto the bill.

In Florida and other states. newspapers have expose u tlaws in gun -permitting laws by showing that felons and people confined to mental hospitals were accidentally issued permits. Re cently enacted gun laws, including ones in Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota and New Mexico, bar the public identi· fication of perm it holders. The gun lobby is attempting to close permit records in some states where they are now open. They argue that if criminals can determine which homeowners have a permit , they mjght be more inclined to target unarmed households. The Legislature has been unable to pass a concealed weapons bills for the pa st ei ght years. Law You Can Use Ask Questions When Using Title Insurance Agencies Q.: Where I live in Ohio, real estate tran sactions usual ly seem to close at title insurance agencies. Why is that? A.: The answer is mostly a matter of economics. It costs banks big money to maintain closing staff and to commit space just for closings (space that might be used for other purposes). Years ago, title insllr· ance companies and their agents, who were doing the courthouse work anyway, offered to take on the closingresponsibilities, as well, and that tradition continues today, Generally, it works well enough. Also, there are those lenders who don't have a local · presence, but who do their busi- Keeping Meigs informed ENTERTAINMENT Subscribe today • 992-2155 Pleasant Valley Hospital www.pvalley.org THEY'RE HERE!!!

Thursday, November 20 , 2003 WAS HI NGTON (AP) - A computer malfunction at an Ohio ut ili ty played a major role in th e nation 's worst blackout, but a U.S.-Canad ian task force said power grid operators still should ha ve prevented the Aug. 14 outage fro m spreadi ng throu gh eig ht states and Canada. "Things go wrong. But it is the res ponsibility of the people who operate the system to keep the small ·problems from ge tting bigger," Energy Sec retary Spencer Abraham said Wednesday.

German author ( 1875- 1955 ). WHEN I WAS ONLY HADA 5" GIGA'?,YTE Morton Kondracke McKinley : provide enough troops and allow local commanders enou gh autonomy to ta ilor their tactics to local circ umstances. Another Was hington foreign poli cy scholar, Geoffrey Kemp of the Nixon Center. agrees that the United States can win in Iraq. but he draw s parallels to the costly British victory in the Boer War in South Africa that occurred simultaneously wilh the Philippine insurge ncy. ' Britain was at'the height of its imperi al power and co ntemptuous of everyone else,' Kemp told me. 'The whole world chee red everv · time the Boers (Dutch-speaking coloniali sts) won a victo· ry and hu miliated the Brit ish. At the end of it, Britain won, but it had to abandon its spl endid isolati on.' Th e difference is, of co urse, that the United State s is not fighting to contro l Iraq or even to stay there. Moreover, while much of the world may re sent U.S. power, it has to qu ake at the prospect of a victory by followers of Saddam Hu ssein and Osama bin Laden. So, th e question i,, how to win ' In an intervi ew, Donnelly sa id the United Stales needs more troops in Iraq than il prese nt.ly ha s there - 'but they have 10 be the ri ght kind of troops. They need to be dismounted , out of their tanks, walking arou nd and getting 10 know lhe locals.' In the article he wrote with AE I resea rcher Vance Serchuk, Donnelly argued that 'the first lesson of coun· te rinsurge ncy ... is to encour· age innovative . adapti ve mil· itary leadership at the local level: rather tlmn try ing 10 mi cromanage the conflict from afar.' In th e Philippine s, .the insurge ncy was concentrated in so uthwest Luzo n, much as it is concentrat ed in the Sunni heartland of Iraq arou nd Bag hdad. ' Pacifying' an area. he told me. involve s ' bringing in overwhelm ing force so that the pri ce of striking by lhe enemy is very hi gh, then bringing 'in the Iraqi s to help police the area m]l1 quickly slamming in civili an and economic reconstruction to make things better fo r the population~ 'Once you've throw n a wet blanket onlo th e fire in one pl ace. you go on to th e next,' he said. In the Philippine s, the U.S. cause was. aided b\' the emergence of a nation· wide political movement. the Federalist Party, which favored modernizati on along American lines. In Iraq, no pro-U .S. party has em erged. The Bush admini stration hopes to build support by givi ng more power to the Iraqi Governing Co un cil. Fonner Cl inton administration diplomat Marc Gin sberg, just back from Iraq . says a key to winning political support is simpl y 'buying it ' with more money. Until recently, local n11h · tary commanders were spending funds from the $800 million in cash that Hussein had hoard ed, but that money is gone and has not yet been replaced with flows from the $87 billion appropriation just passed by Congress. Accordin g to Donnelly, 'the real strategic center of gravity.' both in the Philippine s and Iraq, was and is ·u.s. public opi nion .' 4.200 Even though American s. were kill ed in the Philippine s and insurge nt s stepped up their attacks in 1900 in hopes of affecting the outcome of the U.S. elec· lion s, 'the American publ ic rallied aro und the flag and returned McKinley to the White House \vith th e largest electoral majority in ne arl y 30 years.' Citing other ex perts, Donnell y co ntends that Americans are fundamentally more 'defeat ·phobic· than 'casualty-phobic' - more wor· ri ed about losing a war than los· ing soldiers to win a war. 'It is critical for the Bu sh admini stration to continue to articu late th e importance of the U.S. mi ssion in Iraq and explain the nature of the progress we are makin g there,' he wrote. In the process, th e admini s· tration needs to educate the public that Vietnam is not the ,o nly guerrilla war America has ever fought and that we can win thi s one beca use we've done it be fore .

Thursday, November :w, As a white Southern male, I'd like ·to explain my views about Howard Dean and the Confederate fl ag. Here are my credentials. I've lived in Arkansas since 1972, drive a pickup and cur· rentl y own fo ur hunting dogs, two horses and three shotguns. I've hunted deer and ducks, consider fried cat· fi sh a delicacy ami have n't missed a Razorback game in years .

Because it's also true that I'm of Iris h Catholic.. descent, was horn and raised in New Jersey - state motto: 'Oh yeah, who says 0 ' - and hardl y knew where Arkansas was until I followed my wife home from grad school at the University of Virginia.

You acce j:it Arkansas, Arkansas pretty much accepts you . Little Rock's . nothmg like Ri chmond , or Charleston, S.C. There's linle talk about the glorie s of th e pre-C ivil War South . 'Arkansas, ari stocrat ' is a phrase that won 't work . Indeed, 'Thank God for Mi ss issippi ' is sometime s said to be the state motto, as our neighbor to the east often makes Arkansas look, well. so enlightened by contrast. Anyhow, I've been on the lookout for Confederate flag s over th e past week, but ha ve n't actually see n any. Not even at the feed store or th e biker bar out on the old Conway hi ghway. The old boy at the saddle shop .had some baseball caps with a Rebel fl ag motif, but didn't appear to have sold many. They looked ou1 of place with the boots and bridles and cowboy hats. Wearing one would pretty much be the equivalem of going around with your middle fin· ger stuck in the air. People who acl like \hat don't vote anyway. Even if they did, Howard Dean could win the su pport of every Rebel fla gwaving redneck in Arkan sas and still lose badly - which I'm persuaded he'd do if he got the Democratic nomination. in th e proc~ss losing the presidential election. But enough about one small Southern state, albeit one whose electoral votes could easily turn the 2004 election. My larger point .is that the South is a hig, complicated place. Racial melodrama simply doesn't domi nate public debate <icross the region anymore, as Sei1 . John Eclwards of Notth Carolina did his opportunistic best to point out dur ing the recent Democratic debate. 'The people th at I gre w up with, the vast majority of them, they don 't drive around wilh Confederat e fla gs on pickup trucks,' he said. 'The last thing we need in the South,' he told Dean , 'is somebody like you coming down and telling us what we need to do.' Sigh. See , in my view, the whole pojnt of America and the Democratic Party is that thi s kind of identity politi c~; is a dead end. Dean made his point a lot more effectively when I heard him at a Little Rock appearance earli er this year. What he planned to ask Southern white men, the former Vermont governor sa id, was ' You've been voting Republican for 30 years, ever since Nixon . What have you got to show for it 0 Better school s? Beller jobs? Reliable health insurance'" Bringi ng a potentially divi· sive symbol like the Rebel fla g into it wasn 't the smartest thin g Dean's done in an otherwi se cleverly innovati ve campai gn, but hi s rivals' make- believe outrage made them look ridiculous . Does anybody really think that AI Sharpton and Sen. John Kerry were personally offended? What hurts Democrats most in such charades is the absurd ritual of forcing somebody like Dean to apologize for a r.em ark eve rybody know s wasn't offensive in the lirst place. It feeds the perception lhallhey're fakers and pandere rs to trumped-up , phony grievances in a party domi nated by sissies and snobs. th at It's an image Republican s have become unpleasantly clever at manip· ul ating . See, it's not race that sets the South apan th ese days as much as religion; spec1f1cally. a suburbanized bra.nd of Protestant fundamentalism that comforts people uneasy with rapid social a~ d technological change by otfenng ng1d moral certitude and positing modernity and cosmopolitanism· as the enemy. If White House pol it· ical guru Karl Rove gets hi s way. from Arlington, Va., to El Paso. Texas, the 2004 election will turn not on Iraq or the dubious glories of the Bu sh economy, but on liberal judges, partial-birth abortion and gay marriage. Given · President Bu sh' s manifest failures , Arkansas is not the only Southern accented state that the right Democrat could win in 2004. But Dean's vulnerability on the culturaVreligious issues, I fear, could doom hi s candi· dacy across the region.

(AP) - A Logan County area will be the subject of new soil, sediment and water tests to determine if lead and dioxin pollution pose a health risk, federal environmental officials say. U.S . Environmental Protection Agency investigators hope the additional tests will help determine if Chauncey residents have been exposed to dangerous levels of the contaminants. "We ' re looking for more information to properly characterize that site," said Pat Boyle, a spokesman for the EPA regional office in Philadelphia. EPA investigator Bob Kelly is scheduled next Tuesday to . visit Chauncey, south of Logan on Island Creek, to collect 20 to 30 samples of soil; sediment and water. Kelly in previous . tests fou nd dangerous levels of dioxin and lead at seve ral spots in the area, but EPA officials said those tests didn't determine whether residents were exposed to the contamination. EPA started its investigation in January after residents compiled a list of suspected cancer-related deaths over the past 15 years. In early Februaey, The Logan Banner newspaper reported that 56 people in the area had ~ied of cancer since 1987. Residents worried that the illnesses were connected to the alleged dumping of various waste materials. Last month the EPA told residents in a newsletter that its initial tests showed no signs of any'threat to puhlic health. But in a formal report the agency said otherwise, outlining What started out as a series of line failures caused by power lines sagging into too-tall trees in northeast Ohio, became the blackout when two high-voltage line failures affected a third line that ran from FirstEnergy's Sanimis power plaAt near Steubenville to the Star distribution station near Akron, the report said. "Loss of the Sammis-Star line marked the turning point at which system problems in northeast Ohio initi ated a cascading blackout across the northeast United State s ·and Ontario ," the U.S. -Ca nadian task force studying the blackout said. The loss of the line was important because the failure of high-voltage lines led to instability in lines and transmission stations throughout northeast Ohio. According to the report:. The collapse of FirstEnergy's transmission system sent electricity uncontrollably across northern Ohio. - Power then surged eastward from Indiana and western Ohio on one side, and from Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario along the northern shore of Lake Erie. Transmission lines, however, were already loaded with normal power loads and some of them began to automatically shut down. Within seven minutes, that instability led to outages at more than 263 power plants across the Midwest, Ontario and the Northeast. "Whenever you have a ~ failure of a line, electricity see ks the path of least resistance," Schriber said. "The first line that went down was operating at lit tle more than half its capacity. That went to a seco nd line, clicked off and jumped over to Sammis-Star. "It all could have been contained had FirstEnergy control operators been able to detect it and do something about it." FirstEnergy spokesman Ralph DiNicola said a software flaw in one of its computers kept operators froni learning about the problem until just before SammisStar was hit. "The day after the Aug. 14 outage we issued a news release that discussed the functionality problems that we were having with our computer system that day," DiNicola said. "We analyzed our computer system, and we've reported all this to the task force." David Meyer, a senior · adviser at the U.S. Energy Department for the office of electric transmission and distribution, said it was unclear whether FirstEnergy could have stopped the blackout if the company had shed power from its overloaded lines. "As the lines went down, their situation clearly became more difficult, ... but they were not aware that their lines had gone down," Meyer said. "It was that unawareness that was one of the fundamental difficulties in the situation." 50°/o OFF ' Reg.$3400 ' t4k best...setllng., \ n·- -klace :.:~nkfet ·.· ' "" , bracelet '-"""' SQOJo OFF Right hand diamond rings 30°/o OFF ,' Revolving Loan Fund may be the tool to help you grow and expand your business. • Our loans work with your bank to provide gap financing to help your business ex.pand or help a business with start up needs .

Bu~e Hills- Hocking Valley Regulator says voluntary compliance d~~T~R~!~e~ightyshOU'I#'I be mandatory ,u·•es II IU COLUMBUS, (A P) The task force studying factors contributing to the Aug. 14 blackout that affected 50 million people from Connecticut to Michigan isn 't ready to make recommendations to prevent another one. But one of its members knows what he wants. The U.S.-Canadian task force on Wednesday relea ~ed an interim report that focused on what caused the blackout. It is ex.pected to make its recommendations in a final report before the end of the year. It found that FirstEnergy Corp., an Akron-based utility holding company, had lllolated four industry standards for running its transmission lines. The problem for task force member Alan Schriber is that compliance with the standards is not mandatory. "The energy bill before Congress w_ill make mandatory these rules on transmtsston reliability. It's my belief that at that point they n~ed to be enforced. I've argued the states can do that," said Schriber, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Jim Owen of the Edison Eiectric Institute. a utility industry trade group, agreed that reliability is a primary concern. His group is urging passage of the energy bill. "Our industry is very aware of the crucial importance of reinforcing our system of reliability," Owen said. "We are committed to getting that fixed."

The Golden Knights' only touchdown came on a 55-yard run by freshman quarterback Steve Moffett i.n the fourth quarter, and they were held to just 170 yards of offense. "Obviously we were conservative for a reason," said Gooch, whose team dropped to 3-8 overall and 2-5 in the MAC. "We had a true freshman at quarterback and you don't want him to make any mistakes. We had to play this game close to the vest so we could have a chance at the end." The Thundering Herd dominated throughout the first half, but couldn't sustain a drive and needed a 70-yard punt return from Chris Royal to set up their first score. Royal sliced through the middle of the punt coverage team and appeared to be on his way to a 77-yard return for a touchdown when punter Matt . Prater dragged him down at the 7-yard line. Wallace ran over right tackle on the next play and scored easily to make it 7-0 with I :43 left in the first quarter. ''That's nut the way we usually win, but we challenged our guys to run it and they were successful," said Marshall coach Bob Pruett, whose team improved to 7-4 overall and 5-2 in the MAC.

Mandich experi enced the most-humiliating moment of his career - and the best at Michigan in 1968 and 1969. Ohio State beat the Wolverines 50-14 in 1968.

Krenzel 's parents said his dream to play college football began at Henry Ford II H1gh School. Once he started working with coach Terry Copacia in the ninth grade, Debbie Krenzel said her son gained a new perspective on the game. ·· " He buckled down, really took it seriously and really learned from the man,'' she said. ' Copacia, then a first-year coach, said Krenzel was a gangly freshman with raw talent when they first met. · "He had that quick release, nice feet and he had the height factor, that's what played out early," Copacia said. "His intelligence factor started to play a big role. He became a student of the game at a real early age." The turning pain!, according to Copacia, was m a game against Brighton High and junior quarterback Drew Henson. Krenzel, a sophomore at the time, entered the game with seven minutes remaining, threw two touchdowns and came within a field goal of winning the game. · "Some of the thing~ he did in that setting showed.~e that th1s kid m1ght be something speetal, Copacta satd. "I thought this was the blue chip kid I was hoping to have someday." · Copacia made a short highlight reel of Krenzel's best plays and sent it to 20 schools. He got verbal offers from Ohio State, Stanford, Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, as well as Michigan and · Michigan State , Allen Krenzel said. " At that point, I was kind of debating between Ohio State , M,ichigan and Michigan State. I liked all three schools."

He said he was looking for a school not too close to home with a rich football tradition and a good pre-med program . But his family thinks it was a drive down to Columbus with older brother Brian who was living in North Carolina at the tit~e. to watch spring practice. " It was an unofficial vtstt. We kind of wandered around and met some of the coaches. It just kind of all clicked that day," Debbie Krenzel said. . Brian Krenzel, who played football at Duke, stood quietly in the background, watching the atmosphere. Debbie Krenzel said she remembers him saying to Craig "This is what college football is all about.': The Krenzels say Copacia was instrumental in their son's maturation at quarterback, working with him on Saturdays, often while grading papers. "He ' ll never say it. He's too humble of a guy. But there's no doubt the only reason I am where I am today is because l was fortunate to be coached by Terry Copacia," Kren2el said. " He's a guy who knows the position just as well if not better than anyone I've ever been coached by." Copacia said he talks once a week over the. phone with his former protege, giving encouragement and constructive criticisms. "I' m still his coach as far as I' m concerned," Copacia said. " I' m still telling him what he' s doing wrong when I see him on TV." . Tucked in the corner of the Krenzel fam ily room are reminders of son Craig's accomplishments during hi s collegiate career. Hanging on the wall is an Associated Press photo of his touchdown dive against Illinois, two framed Sports Illustrated cov· ers and other items. "We have to be cautious with our other children.

Not much else is ordinary about this 1.4-year-old phenom. Sure, he loves to listen to rappers Eminem and 50 Cent, has posters of David Beckham and Maradona in his room and lists "Lord of the Rings" as his favorite movie. But no other teenage soccer player will make hundreds of thousands of dollars in the United States and has been called everything from the next Pele to the LeBron James of MLS. "If you' re good enough, you're old enough," Adu said Wednesday, a day after signing with Major League Soccer. "If you feel like you're ready to go, hey, give it a shot." He'll start his career with DC United, hoping to earn a place in the starting lineup and play his way onto the U.S. team for the 2006 World Cup, which stalls a week after his 17th birthday. "I like to think of myself as having a pretty good chance," he said. .Already, MLS is ready for Freddy. His new team's opener on April 3 will be televi sed nationally by ABC. What viewers could see is a boy showing rare speed and skill against men. At 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds, Adu looks too small to be a pro, but there's time for him to till out. "He's a very graceful athlete. His first touch and his vision are outstanding for a player of his age," U.S. national team coach Bruce Thursday, November 20,2003 www .mydailysentinel.com Page B8 • The Daily Sentinel Arena said. Adu, who left Ghana in 1997 and became a U.S. citizen in February, was introduced by MLS at Madison Square Garden, where the soccer world gathered 12 years earlier for the preliminary draw for the 1994 World Cup. He sounds far more mature than most 14-year-olds; he' s scheduled to finish high school in March. But when you're regarded as the top soccer prospect in America the world, according to MLS deputy commi ssioner Ivan Gazidis - it's tough to be just another teenager. "It's been pretty hard, I guess, but I have fun with it," Adu said. "Sometimes you go out, you want to have fun with your friends and stuff, but you go out, people recognize you and just swarm you, and you've got to start 10 give autographs." Manchester United, Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven tried to sign him, according to his agent, Richard Motzkin. But if he had gone to Europe, soccer's complicated rules probably would have limited him to a youth team rather than a top club until 2007, when he turns 18. In MLS, he can play as soon as DC United thinks he's ready. It also allows him to stay at home. "It just gixes me chance to be me, really, be with my family and just be a normal kid," he said. "Everyone is like, 'Oh, could you have signed with European teams?' I could have, but I decided not to because I have a long way to• go, and I want to mature and be at home for a linle bit. And when the right time comes, I get the opportunity to go." MLS gave him a four-year Redmen advance to quarterfinals, Bt No. 1 UConn beats Nevada at Preseason NIT STORRS , Conn.

The win moved the Husktes (2-0) mto the semifinals of the Preseason NIT. contract with a two-year league option. While no details were disclosed, league officials say that for "special" players, there are marketing agreements that give them more than the maximum salary, $280,000. If he gets on the field with DC United next season, Adu would become the youngest player for a major American team since 14-year-old Fred Chapman debuted for Philadelphia of major league baseball's American Association in 1887, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. In a way, Adu's life will be more normal starting next year. He' s mostly been away from his Maryland home since early 2002 to take part in the U.S. Under-17 team's in residency program Bradenton, Fla. He looks forward to returning home. His neighborhood is far different than his surroundings growing up in Tema, Ghana. Adu st rted kicking a ball when he about 2 1/2 and learned to pia in bare feet on t1elds littered ith rocks and broken bottles, he said. He came t the United States after his mother, "Emelia, won a State Department visa lot , hoping to improve the ed ation of her two boys. Adu as a 12-year-old brother, Fro. · At first , he tried other sports. "I was hooked on basketball for a while," he said. At other times he thought it had been a mistake to move from Ghana, where soccer is king. "It got to a point where I was just like, 'Oh, God, I'm never going to get a chance to play and have fun like I used to,"' he said. "But you know what, I was wrong about that." They'll play the winner of Thursday 's Georgia Tech-Hofstra second-round game. . The semifinal s are at Madtson Square Garden in New York on Nov. 26.
