No direct Federal Emergency Management Agency or Ohio cash grants are expected for flood losses, said Ted Jacobson of the Athens C.ounty Emer11ency Operations Center. The state did not give a reason for its decision, but Jacobson said he suspects there was not severe enough damage over a large enough area even though certain areas were hit hard. Parts of Athens County reported up to seven inches of rain on the weekend of Aug. 16- 17 after the Hocking River and its tributaries flooded. The county ha$ received a Small Business Administration disaster declaration, which allows homeowners, renters and businesses to apply for low-interest. disaster recovery loans. The declaration also applies to Hocking, Vinton and Perry Counties, the Red Cross .said. Local application centers arc being established. To assist area residents and businesses in reviewing their flood recovery options, preliminary Small Business Association loan fact sheets are available at the Athens County commissioners office and by calling the emergency operations center at 5942261. Jacobson said those ·dealing with flood losses should photograph darnage before beginning repairs and keep all original receipts for cleanup expenses. duced within U.S. borders, marks a substantial change from a month-old estimate showing the economy expanding at a sedate 2.2 percent rate in the second quarter. The revision, the largest in 3-112 years, nearly wipes out what economists had viewed as a welcome, inflation-calming respite from the rapid 4.9 percent growth rate in the first three months of the year. Separately, the Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell to 323,000 last week, a larger-than-ex{'Ccted drop of 16,000. Most of the GOP revision was attributed· to faster-than-previously estimated growth in exports and a larger buildup in inventories at wholesalers.

Meigs man gets jail time for KC power plant scheme Court orders Bell to repay amount to parent firm GALLIPOLIS- A Meigs County man has been sentenced to 5-15 years in the Orient Correctional Facility for.his involvement in a phony invoicing scheme that defrauded an area power plant of more than $260,000. Donald R. Bell, Letart, was indicted by the Gallia County grand jury in March 1996 for his connection in a phony invoicing scheme directed at the Kyger Creek Power Plant. Bell. a former store supervisor at Kyger Creek, allegedly embezzled funds as he assisted in the approval process for payment of items from various vendors that were not ·used at the Cheshire based pJ'ant. It was further ordered by the Gallia . County Common Pleas Court that he pay restitution in the amount of $130,251.04 to the Ohio Valley Electric Corp. The court will hold another hearing concerning additional restitution to be paid. Larry E. Miller of Gallipolis, an independent marketer of BP bulk fuel was acquitted by a jury last month on charges that he was also involved in the scam.

Cooper said that even if Walter makes mistakes, he ,won't pull him out of the lineup. Young players need time to learn, he said. That's a sentiment that has been expressed to Walter. "The coaches aren't expecting me to be Orlando Pace," he said. "They're thinking of me as n normal player." · Walter said that Pace, who also finished fourth in the Heisman bal; loting before signing a seven-year contract with the St. J,.ouis Rams, set a standard that is out of touch. "Dominating. He is so good, he dominates everyone he plays against," Walter said. "From an oiTensivc lineman's perspecti~e. he was awc~ inspiring." Pace isn't the only Buckeye missingfrom Ohio State's ol'fensive line. Tight end D.J.

' "He is a preny entertaining 'guy both on and off the court," Britain's Tim Henman said after upsetting the fifth-seeded Muster 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 4: 6, 6-4 Wednesday in the opening round of the year's final Grand Slam tournament.

OU to host Kent in .MACopener tonight By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer Two new teams, a new divisional setup and a lot of new faces will be featured as 10 of the 12 MidAmerican Conference teams take the field for the league's 52nd season starting tonight. The first new/old school to jump back into the MAC wars is Northern Illinois, which is anxious to get things going by hosting Central Michigan tonight. "I've been bere for a year and a half and we've been waiting for this day for a year and a half," lluskies coach Joe Novak said. Northern Illinois drifted aimless; ly last year as an independent, going 1-10 while outscored by an average of 36-14. Former MAC member Marshall g~s out of the conference but not far from home to play at cross-state rival West Virginia on Saturday. The Thundering Herd last played in the conference in 1968. "We're excited about getting into the MAC and getting into Division I-A," Marshall coach Bob Pruett said of the jump from Division 1-AA. "Now we'll see how far we have to go." The inaugural season of MAC divisional play gets under way with Kent at Ohio tonight in the East. "I think everybody's excited about the new divisional setup," said Ohio coach Jim Grobe, who guided the Bobcats from ninth place in the MAC two years ago to fourth place last year. "The fans are tired up and the players are excited." Kent hopes to improve defensively to counterbalance one of the league's most potent offenses, featu'ring tailback Astron Whatley, who has more than 3;000 career yards. "I think it's going to he high energy down there," Kent coach Jim Corrigan said. In a non-conference game tonight, Western Michigan introduces new coach Gary Darnell when it hosts Temple. . Asked about his biggest concern, Darnell said, "It's rhe unknown." The only game between MAC members Saturday . features Ball State at Miami of Ohio in what the league calls a "cross divisional game." Nonleague games· include Bowling Green at Louisiana Tech, Marshall at West Virginia and Akron at Nebraska. ·A $450,000 payday lured Akron into its game · with sixth-ranked Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. The Zips are 56-point underdogs against the Big Red, and that spread may not be enough. A" year ago, the Cornhuskers rolled to a 55- 14 victory in their home opener. That victim was one of the better teams in the Big Ten Conference - bowl-bound Michigan State. "We can't go to Lincoln and play the tradition and the pageahtry and mystique of Nebraska. We'll get killed," Akron ctiach Lee Owens· said. The Zips must play Oawless football, even though they averaged almost three turnovers a game while going 4-7 last year. They also must hope for a lot of help from Nebraska, which is looking for redemption for.two stunning defeats a year ago in an 11 -2 campaign. Ball State and Miami have met early in the season inoeach of the last two years. In 1995, Ball State won and Miami ended up ahead of the Cardinals in the standings. Last year, Miami won but Ball State was the MAC champion. "The lasttwo years we' ve played early and they were tough, hardnosed, physical games," said Cardinals coach Bill Lynch, who must replace live starters on offense and seven on defense from last year's 84 team. "I'm expecting the same thing again." Miami was picked as the team to beat in the preseason, but coach Randy Walker said, "I don't put a whole lot of stock in that:" Regardless of who wins, Walker said both teams won't sink too far in the standings. "I expect both of us to be in the hunt at the end again," he said. Eastern Michigan and Toledo arc idle until Sept. 6.

Wilkens knew it was only a matter of time before some of that money started flowing his way. After all, he 's the winningest coach in NBA history. · "A lot of people were saying, 'Hey, that must bother you,"' Wilkens said. "It didn 't bother me. I was happy to see it because 'I knew it was only going to help me."' Wilkens, the only coach to win more than 1.000' games in the NBA, finalized Wednesday a four-year contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks that's worth a reported $20 million . • "You want a ~ood contract," Wilk.cns said. "I think I do have the respect of my peers. My record speaks for itself, what I've been able · to accomplish. I think those arc important things. A good contract just goes with it." · Wilkens' contract is the latest indication that the salary bar for NBA coaches has been raised significantly during this offseason. The Boston Ccltics signed Pitino to a $50 million, IO.ycur contract as coach and president, and Larry Brown received about $25 million for-five years to"'oach the Philadcl· phia 76ers. To replace Brown, the ·Indiana Pacers hired Bird, who had never coached at any level, for between $4 million and $4.5 million per ·year. Phil Jackson agreed to stay one more year with rhc NBA champion Chicago Bulls for $6 million, and Chuck Daly was lured out of retirement by a $15 million. three-year offcrfrom the Orlando Magic. · .. There's a heavy emphasis on the importance of coaches right now," said Lonnie Cooper, Wilkens' agent. While Wilkens and team officials declined to reveal financial details of the contract, the figure of $~0 million was widely reported during ncgoti· ations, and no one disputed it at Wednesday's news conference. Team president Stan Kasten said the contract wa.• set up so that most of the money would be paid over the final three years of the new contract, after the Hawks move into their new . $200 million downtown arena.

After graduating from Yale in' 1970, Tartilcoff took a jo.b l"ith a Connecticut advertising agency. He was diagnosed as ·having Hodgkin's disease at age 23 during a routine physical examination. . That same year, he became director o.f advertising and promotion for W1NH-1V, the ABC affiliate in New Haven. In 1973, he landed a similar job at WLS-1V, the ABCowned station in Chicago. In January 1976, he attracted attention at WLS when he substantially boosted ratings for .the station's late afternoon movie by taking a handful of low-budget horror movies and packaging tl)em as "Not' fo.r the Weak Week." Tartikoff also touted "Gorilla My Dreams" and "Thrilla Gorilla" weeks, featuring King Kong and other "ape" movies. Tartikoff published a memoir, "The Last Great Ride," in 1992.

Okla. Nigh's office said he was unavailable for comment, and prosecutors declined to say anything about the change. McVeigh, 29, was sentenced \odie for the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people and injured more than 500 others. After he was convicted in June, McVeigh wrote to U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch, saying he would prefer that Nigh, Richard Burr and Randall Coyne handle his appeal. All three were part of the defense team led by Jones. Co-defendant Terry Nichols is scheduled to stand tri~l Sept. 29 on identical charges of murder 'and con- spiracy. His lawyer, Michael ligar, filed another motion in U.S. District Court seeking to remove U.S. Attorney Patrick Ryan of western Oklahoma from the Nichols' case. On Aug. 14, the day after Matsch refused to remove Ryan from the case, Tigar said Ryan hired atlorney Randal Sengel of Norman, Okla., from "<J?rivate law firm that has been involved in representing bombing victims and planning memorial activities. ligar requested a new hearing on the motion. U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch was to hold a hearing today to consider whether prosecutors may seek the death penalty against Nichols. Matsch has twice denied Tigar's requests to prohibit the death penalty. ' •• r Comfortable Hush Puppies· shoes fit and feel like only Hush Puppies shoes can.

For example, where does (he name Buenos Aires come from? In many sports, when you did somelhing that worked out well bul might have backfired badly, it can be said 1hat you had a favorable wind behind you. Here, South was in four spades. . Weslled the diamond eight. East won with 1he queen. cashed the ace. and continued with the king, which West ruffed with the spade jack. A heart to East's ace gave the defenders the lirsr four 1ricks. Did East defend perfecl· ly, or did be have a warm wind waft· ing behind him? Nonh's advance of three spades invited· game. This interpretation is ou1 of favor in the modem tourna· mem game, where three spades would be pre-emptive and Nonh would have to cue-bid two diamonds to invite game in spades. Yet this deal was played · some 20 years ago in Anaheim .... East was lucky. Suppose Soulh has the spade jack and West 1he heart king. Then, declarer ruffs the third diamond in · the dummy, draws 1rumps, and runs the clubs, claiming an overtrick. At trick three, East should cash tbe heart ace and watch West's signal. If West has lhe king, he plays a high hean, asking for a continuation. Bul with the given layout, West drops his lowest heart. East reverts to diamonds 10 defeat the contract. Buenos Aires · isn't so-named because it is full of good ·airs. When the first Spaniards arrived, they paid lribute to the palron saint of seamen, Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires (Saint Mary of the Good Winds I, by naming 1he area for her. 8f A CA>o1 Cac And Cllt<A 0... tho tho C/ouif"" l«tion. s....,. .. !THURSDAY Full line of auao bod~ panels, · paints and aupptiea, alao Olall.

He iust missed 1.000 yards last season as he finished with 961 in 180 carries (5.3). Meigs played only nine games last season, thus hurting his cnaces for a second straig_hl 1,000-yatd season. For his career he has four 200 yard games to his credit. Early in the season, teams were keying on Williams, but when Roush exploded on the scene it opened things up for Williams. . Roush exploded on the varstty scene in a big way by rushing for 1.086yards in only ISOcanies (7.2). He gained over I00 yards in seven of the Marauders nine games and picked up 209 yards against Alexander. Like Williams, he has the special blend of speed and power. Calling the signals forthe maroon and gold will be 5'9", 160-pound senior Brad Davenpon. . Davenport was the staner last season and improved with every contest. On the vear he comoleted 30 of 67 passes for 393 yards and only four interceplions. ·. AI wing back for Meigs will be 5'9", 170-pound junior Jeremiah ·(.475).

The winner of that game comes back in the inaugliral Ford Motor City Bowl on the day after Christmas in the Pontiac Silvenlome against an at-large opponent. · Marshall and Northern Illinois, both past members of the MAC, have rejoined the conference. It now stretches across five states and two time zones and will get media auention in Chicago, ~troi~ Indianapolis. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and all of West Virginia. "I don't think there's any question it's the right thing to do," Toledo coach ·Gary Pinkel said of the restyled MAC. "To have 8 championship game and a bowl game, it's nothing but 110Sitive. It'll help us from 8 national standpoint." Still, a couple of holdover schools were selected as the teams to beat in preseason balloting by media covering the MAC. In the East, MIAMI (6-5 overall, 6-2 and tied for second in the MAC last year) returns seven startcn on offense including quarterback Sam Ricketts and six more from a defense that held seven opponents to 14 or fewer points. Now known as the RedHawks, they're "comfortable with being picked No. I in their division. "We've got a target on our heads every year," Ricketts said. "We get everybody's best game." MARSHALL went 15-0 last year and rolled to the NCAA Division 1AA national championship. Balancing the return of mercurial wide.receiver Randy Moss is the loss of 13 starters. . Moving up in class to 1-A. the Thundering Herd don't know what to 'expect. "We've got a major challenge in from of us.'' coach Bob Pruett said. "We've got to come back and earn !heir respect." · OHIO went from 0- II to 2-8-1 to 6-6 a year ago. More good things are expected since eight starters are back on a defense that posted three shutouts. But the offensive line was devastated by graduation, which might make things more difficult for, Bobcat quarterback and league MVP .Kareem Wilson. "We're hoping the next step is just more positive things,, line- backer Andre Jackson said. Four straight superlative seasons have been followed by back-to-back subpar' ones at BOWLING GREEN (4-7, 3-5 MAC). But the Falcons welcome 15 starters back in hopes of turning back the clock - and improving an offense that was dead last in the league. · AKRON (4-7, '3-5) made strides and is banking on a defense flush with nine returnees to climb higher. Astron Whatley of KENT (2-9. 1-7) needs 1.349 ·yards to become the MAC 's all-time leading rusher, but his effon will likely get lost in another bad season. The Flashes haven't won more than two games in any of the last eight years. In the West Division, TOLEDO (7-4, 6-2) will not have 1995 league MVP Wasean Tait (still recoverin2 from a blown-out knee) or· multithreat quarterback Ryan Huzjak (graduation). But the Rockets do have eight starters back from a defense thai came within a 24-141oss at Ball State from winning the MAC title. . The top two running backs (Justin Wooley and Kevin Kidd} and split end Brock Kreitzburg should help the transition on offense. Cornerback Clarence Love, linebacker Marcus Matthews and tackle Jason Richanls are as good as !hey get on' defens,c.· EASTERN MICHIGAN will go as far as quarterback Cbarlie Batch takes it. The Eagles went6-S in 1995 with Batch putting up huge numbers in coach Rick Rasnick's pass-happy offense. Then Batch went down in the second game of the ·year, and so did EMU (3-8, 3-5). "Some people on the team, it seemed when I went down, they went down.'.' said Batch, who will be supported by eight holdovers on offense and seven more on defense. Proving that quarterback is a linchpin . position, · CENTRAL MICHIGAN has everything in place for a title run - if1im Crowley OJ By TOM KUBAT - lafsystte Journsl and Courier Penn State definitely has helped produce new respect for Big Ten Conference football since the Nittany Lions began competing for the le!lgue championship in 1993. . Coach Joe Paterno's tradition· rich program has not finished lower than third in its first four seasons. In 1994, the Nittany Lions wrapped up a 12-0 season with a Rose Bowl victory but lost out to Nebraska in !he voting for the national championship. · Is Paterno and Penn State primed for a similar season in 1997? The experts seem to think so. Not . only has the Midwest media voted the Nittany Lions as ihe preseason ·Big Ten favoriles, they' re also considered a national champion contender. To which Paterno responds, . "That ·doesn't impress me. That ·doesn't make me despondent. I just . don't think anyone can say, when there are at least six or seven teams that can win it." And. he said he was talking about the Big Ten tide, not the national championship. Paterno has 12 starters back from last year's 11-2 .team that finished the season with a 38-15 whipping of Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. The Nittany Lions will be led by a number of all-American candidates - tailback Cunis Enis, wide ·receiver J.oe Jurevicius, guanl Phil ·Ostrowski and, of course, lineback. ers Aaron Collins, Jim Nelson and Brandon Short. After all •. this is Linebacker U. .' If the Nittany Lions have a con:cern, it's starting the season with a ''relatively inexperienced quarterback, with senior Mike McQueary Jeff Davis can step in to replace the graduated Chad Darnell. Regardless .of how they perfonn, the Chippewas (5-6. 4-4) should be vastly improved because of the presence of nine defensive starters and eight on Qffense from 1996. . Defending champion BALL STATE (8-4, 7-1) must rebuild on defense, where seven frontline players are absent, and also on offense, where the Cardinals will be without quarterback Brent Baldwin, the leading rusher and top t!JIIO receivers. WESTERN MICHIGAN (2-9, 26) has a new coach - former Texas. Florida and Notre Dame assistant Gary Darnell- anil requires a new attitude on offense. The Broncos were last in the MAC in rushing at 9S net yards a game- less than two individuals averaged in the league. While Marshall enters the MAC on a high, NORTHERN ILLINOIS rejoins the league at its low point. During last year's 1-10 death mari:h.

One (Steve Mariucci in San Francisco) came from college, where he was 6-6 at California. 11te other three (Parcells, Dan Reeves in Atlanta and Bobby Ross in Detroit) switched teams. 11te NFL has gone through all kinds of coaching trends, from men who also owned their teams (Paul Brown, George Halas) to hiring bigname college coaches (Bud Wilkinson, John Robinson, Frank Kush) to promoting assistants (Shula. · Chuck Noll, Torn Landry). Now, the trend is, well, no trend. Except impatience. That's a dangerous sign, accordi~g to one of the most successful coaches at any level, Jimmy Johnson. "I wouldn't want to be a 28-yearold or 30-year-old head coach in this league for the first time," says the Dolphins. "A younger guy's got to prove himself. A younger guy might be learning on the job and it might take a little longer. That doesn't say that he won't get it done, but it might take him a year or two longer. I don't know if people are going to be patient with a younger guy." Carroll is an excellent example of the panic mode at work. 11te Jets go through so many coaches people might think George Steinbrenner owns them.

The most successful approach to coaching in the '90s is exemplified by Mike Holmgren in Green Bay, Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh, Marty Schottenheimer in Kansas City and Levy in Buffalo. .

"They have different personalities, different philosophies, different offenses, different defenses," said Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles, a Hall of Fame coach who stepped down in 1976 at age 51. "But deep down; they're all the same. They lead. Kids play ·for them." There are similarities among the four beyond their on-the-field suecess, be~inning with a gravitation to leadershtp roles as players. Paterno, Bowden and Osborne were college quarterbacks. Edwards, destined to become an influential proponent of the passing game, was an exception: a center and linebacker at Utah State. In an increasingly transient profession - almost half the current coaches in the NCAA's Division 1-A are in only their third year on the job, and the average tenure is 5 112 years - the Big Four have stayed put. Paterno, Osborne and Edwards will end their careers where they started. Bowden moved early from Samford, his alma mater, to West Virginia and finally to Florida State, where be's in his 22nd season. -•- . Three of the four inherited programs ranged from mtddhng (Penn State) to mediocre (BYU) to godawful (FSIJ). Nebruka posed a different challenge. · Bob Devaney had won 1.01 games, eight Big Eight championships and two national titles in II years before hand-picking Osborne from his staff to succeed him in 1973. "Bob is the guy that turned it around," he said. "And the guy that turns it . around always has a place in people's hearts \hat a caretaker will never have." Weighing the odds,. he said he "doubted I would last five years, (or) more than five. I just know there's an ebb and flow to athletics, and we'd had a pretty gond string."

"That's not being any caretaker," · longtime defensive coordinator Charlie McBride sniffed. "That's just flat being good." It is Paterno, among the four coaches, who seems to hawe burrowed the deepest into the nation 's football-loving heart, projecting oldfashioned ,simplicity and sincerity, winning without so much as a squiggle on Penn State's jerseys and he Imets and almost completely without scandal. He is St. Joe.

"If we beat Michigan either one of the last two years, we're national title contenders," Cooper said. "In the second half of last year's game, we probably tiied to make big plays too often. You don't do ,that against good teams." Last year, before a home crowd of 94,676 - sixth largest in Ohio Stadium history - Coop's offense fell apart. The Buckeyes entered the game averaging 42.6 points and came away with thtee field goals. · Cooper claims that if cornerback Shawn Springs , doesn't slip, Michigan doesn't score on ·. a 69-yard pass. Then he says that if his quarterback doesn't overthrow a tight end who has a linebacker covering him, his team scores a touchdown. Results, not excuses ate what Buckeye fans desperately want on the fourth Saturday in . November. And until that happens, Cooper will go down as a good coach who couldn't win the big ooe. Maybe Cooper took the first step in the Rose Bowl, a 21-17 win over Arizona State that he's calling "the highlight of my career." • . The victory left Cooper and the Buckeye faithful optimistic about this season, even though several stars have gone to the NFL. The 1997 media guide indicates the impor- . lance of the win- the tops of ncarly all 272 pages deelare: "1997 Rose Bowl Champs." Cooper, who enters his 21st year as a head coach; .is anxious for the season to begin. He has only three starters returning on defense, in.cluding all-American linebacker Andy Katzen moyer, and a good nucleus on offense, with the two-quarterback system · of Jackson-Germaine still intact. You can bet Cooper will be well prepared. "We can throw the football, we've had a No. I draft choice at nearly every position and I think we have the best conditioned program in college football. Recruiting? We've got the best offensive lineman out of Florida, the best wide receiver out of · California the besi player in Missouri. "If you're going to compete for the national championship, you've got to·go nationwide in recruiling." And beat Michigan.
