REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RIO GRANDE — Ken Moore, director of the Holzer Center for Cancer Care, will be the guest speaker for the next Man to Man cancer support group meeting. The group is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 9 in the board room located in the Davis University Center on the campus of the University of Rio Grande. For information, contact James Allen at (740) 7096214, or Jim Cozza (740) 441-1647. POMEROY — “We can’t print money, and we can’t make the money come in when we need it most.” That, said County Commissioner Mick Davenport Thursday, presents the county government with a cash flow dilemma that has some county departments concerned. The Board of Elections, with an election coming up, is faced with mounting unpaid bills totaling over $8,000. Some vendors, if not paid, might not fulfill orders for elections supplies and other necessities to the November election, Director Rita Smith told commissioners Wednesday. However, the election will go on, board members and commissioners said Thursday, regardless of how the bills are paid. The election board’s predicament is one being felt by departments within county government at this time of the year, and Davenport said the situation is worse than commissioners anticipated early in the year. The cash carryover into the new year was down by $100,000, primarily because of the cost of three murder cases and a week-long murder trial in 2009. The second-half real estate settlement finalized earlier this week is also $100,000 below what it was last year. Some departments, such as the elections board, are necessarily spending more money year-to- date than they did last year, which affects cash flow even more. “When you decrease carryover, you reduce cash flow for the year,” Davenport said. “I didn’t think we would be in a cash flow problem in August, but it will only get worse for counties in this economy.” Smith, Board Chairman John Ihle, Rita Slavin, Ed Durst and David Warner, and Deputy Director Becky Johnston met with commissioners yesterday. The first $5,000 payment for a new Ballot on Demand machine, which will cost the county $25,000 when paid for, is now late, and penalties and interest are due. Commissioners agreed to pay that first installment, but a check has not yet been cut. (See related story on the new machine, Page A1.) Smith said the board also owes for ballots and other materials from the August special election in the Southern Local School District, and if those bills are not paid soon, the companies might hold off on printing and services. That concerns board members because election deadlines are set. “We cannot halt an elections cycle because we do not have money to pay for the costs,” Smith told commissioners, outlining bills unpaid to The Daily Sentinel, printing companies and the firm that performs the ballot layout, along with utility companies and local vendors.

WEBER & MICHAEL KUNZELMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — BP took some of the blame for the Gulf oil disaster in an internal report issued Wednesday, acknowledging among other things that it misinterpreted a key pressure test of the well. But in a possible preview of its legal strategy, it also pointed the finger at its partners on the doomed rig. The highly technical, 193-page report attributes the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history and the rig explosion that set it off to a complex chain of failures both human and mechanical. Some of those problems have been made public over the past 4-1/2 months, such as the failure of the blowout preventer to clamp the well shut. The report is far from the definitive ruling on the cause of the catastrophe. For one thing, government investigators have not yet begun to fully analyze the blowout preventer, which was raised from the bottom of the sea over Labor Day weekend. But it provides an early look at the company’s probable legal strategy — spreading the blame among itself, rig owner Transocean, and cement contractor Halliburton — as it deals with hundreds of lawsuits, billions of dollars in claims and possible criminal charges in the coming months and years. Critics of BP called the report self-serving. “This report is not BP’s mea culpa,” said Rep. Edward J. Markey, DMass., a member of a congressional panel investigating the spill. “Of their own eight key findings, they only explicitly take responsibility for half of one. BP is happy to slice up blame as long as they get the smallest piece.” The report’s conclusions stand in contrast to a widely seen BP ad campaign in which the company casts no blame for the explosion and vows to clean up and restore the Gulf Coast. “BP blaming others for the Gulf oil disaster is like Bernie Madoff blaming his accountant,” said Robert Gordon, an attorney for fishermen, hotels and restaurants affected by the spill. Another plaintiff’s lawyer, W. Mark Lanier, scoffed: “This is like the ringleader of a lynch mob saying, ‘Well, I didn’t bring the rope; he did.’” The disaster began when the Deepwater Horizon exploded off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, killing 11 workers. BP’s well spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf before a temporary cap stopped it in mid-July. Members of Congress, industry experts and workers who survived the blast have accused BP’s engineers of cutting corners to save time and money on a project that was 43 days and more than $20 million behind schedule at the time of the blast. Nearly 24 hours before the explosion, Halliburton was using cement to seal the gap between the well casing and the hole drilled in the seafloor. It was also cementing the bottom of the well shut until the day BP was ready to begin extracting oil and gas from it. In its report, BP said that it was a bad cementing job that contributed to the blowout and that the design of the well was probably not to blame. It also said “more thorough review and testing by Halliburton” and “stronger quality assurance” by BP’s well team might have identified weaknesses in the plan for cementing. The report acknowledged, as investigators have previously suggested, that BP’s engineers and employees of Transocean misinterpreted a pressure test of the well’s integrity before the explosion. “The Transocean rig crew and BP well site leaders reached the incorrect view that the test was successful and that well integrity had been established,” the investigators said. They also blamed employees on the rig from both companies for failing to respond to other warning signs that the well was in danger of blowing out. The words “blame” and “mistake” never appear in the report. “Fault” shows up 20 times, but only once in the same sentence as the company’s name. “The team did not identify any single action or inaction that caused this accident,” the investigators said. “Rather, a complex and interlinked series of mechanical failures, human judgments, engineering design, operational implementation and team interfaces came together to allow the initiation and escalation of the accident. Multiple companies, work teams and circumstances were involved over time.” Mark Bly, who as BP’s safety chief led the internal investigation, said the report was a reconstruction of what happened on the rig based on the company’s data and interviews with mostly BP employees and was not meant to focus on assigning blame. The six-person investigating panel had access to only a few workers from other companies, and samples of the actual cement used in the well were not released to BP. Transocean blasted the report as a self-serving attempt to conceal what it called the real cause of the explosion — “BP’s fatally flawed well design.” Halliburton said it found a number of omissions and inaccuracies in the report and is confident the work it completed on the well met BP’s specifications. “Contractors do not specify well design or make decisions regarding testing procedures as that responsibility lies with the well owner,” the company said. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs noted “there is an active investigation into what went wrong” and said the administration’s job is to find out what happened and hold those responsible accountable. Federal prosecutors are among those investigating. In Wednesday trading in New York, BP stock rose $1.18, or 3.2 percent, to close at $38.37. Investigators know the explosion was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that shot up the drill column and ignited. But they don’t know exactly how and why the gas escaped. And they don’t know for certain why the blowout preventer didn’t work. But in its report, BP said the blowout preventer didn’t do its job because it was damaged in the explosion and because it had a bad valve and weak batteries. Transocean, which was responsible for maintaining the blowout preventer, has insisted the batteries were in working order. BP also said: • Its use of six centralizers during the cementing, instead of the 21 recommended by Halliburton, probably did not contribute to the cement’s failure. Centralizers make sure the casing is running down the center of the well bore. If the casing is cemented off-center, there is a risk of an imperfect seal that could allow oil and gas to escape. • Just before the blast, the flammable gas leaking from the well was directed onto the rig instead of being vented overboard. The rig’s ventilation system may have allowed the gas to enter the engine rooms, where it may have ignited. • Recommendations should be considered to improve offshore drilling practices. It suggested, among other things, that standards for reporting and investigating incidents be clarified and strengthened. Separately on Wednesday, the Obama administration said it sent a sixth bill, for $128.5 million, to BP and others for costs associated with the spill. The first five bills, totaling $389.9 million, have been paid in full by BP, the government said. The disaster has already cost BP roughly $8 billion, not including a $20 billion victims’ compensation fund it has agreed to set up. Florida minister determined to hold 9/11 Quran burning BY MITCH STACY ASSOCIATED PRESS GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The leader of a small Florida church that espouses anti-Islam philosophy said Wednesday he was determined to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, despite pressure from the White House, religious leaders and others to call it off. Pastor Terry Jones said at a press conference that he has received a lot of encouragement, with supporters mailing copies of the Islamic holy text to his Gainesville church of about 50 followers. He proclaimed in July that he would stage “International Burn-a-Quran Day” to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11. “As of right now, we are not convinced that backing down is the right thing,” said Jones, who took no questions. Jones said he has received more than 100 death threats and has started carrying a .40-caliber pistol since announcing his plan to burn the book Muslims consider the word of God and insist be treated with the utmost respect. Jones, 58, was flanked by an armed escort Wednesday. Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Kabul, took the rare step of a military leader taking a position on a domestic matter when he warned in an e-mail to The Associated Press that “images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence.” Petraeus spoke Wednesday with Afghan President Karzai about the matter, according to a military spokesman Col. Erik Gunhus. “They both agreed that burning of a Quran would undermine our effort in Afghanistan, jeopardize the safety of coalition troopers and civilians,” Gunhus said, and would “create problems for our Afghan partners ... as it likely would be Afghan police and soldiers who would have to deal with any large demonstrations.” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that the pastor’s plans were outrageous, and along with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, urged Jones to cancel the event. “It is regrettable that a pastor in Gainesville, Florida, with a church of no more than 50 people can make this outrageous and distrustful, disgraceful plan and get the world’s attention, but that’s the world we live in right now,” Clinton said in remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations. Jones gained some local notoriety last year when he posted signs in front of his church declaring “Islam is of the Devil.” But his Quran-burning idea attracted wider attention. It drew rebukes from Muslim nations and at home as an emotional debate was taking shape over the proposed Islamic center near the ground zero site of the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York. Actress Angelina Jolie, in her capacity as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.’s refugee agency, condemned the protest during a trip to Pakistan to raise awareness about the floods in the largely Muslim country. Jones’ actions likely would be protected by the First Amendment’s right to free speech. The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that speech deemed offensive to many people, even the majority of people, cannot be suppressed by the government unless it is clearly directed to intimidate someone or amounts to an incitement to violence, legal experts said. The Vatican denounced the protest and a religious watchdog group, Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said it would send a copy of the Quran to the Afghan National Army for every one that might be burned. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder during a meeting Tuesday with religious leaders to discuss recent attacks on Muslims and mosques around the U.S. called the planned burning idiotic and dangerous, according to a Justice Department official. The official requested anonymity because the meeting was private. In Afghanistan, Jones’ planned burning continued to provoke outrage. “It is the duty of Muslims to react,” said Mohammad Mukhtar, a cleric and candidate for the Afghan parliament in the Sept. 18 election. “When their holy book Quran gets burned in public, then there is nothing left. If this happens, I think the first and most important reaction will be that wherever Americans are seen, they will be killed. No matter where they will be in the world they will be killed.” Muslims consider the Quran along with any printed material containing its verses or the name of Allah or the Prophet Muhammad to be sacred. Any intentional damage or show of disrespect Quran is deeply offensive. Jones’ Dove Outreach Center is independent of any denomination. It follows the Pentecostal tradition, which teaches that the Holy Spirit can manifest itself in the modern day. Pentecostals often view themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against satanic forces. The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Would you like 1 hump or 2 with your dinosaur? BY SETH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The weird world of dinosaurs has just gotten a tad more bizarre. Scientists found a nearly complete fossil of a new dinosaur that sports a noticeable hump, maybe as possible advertising. The hump on the dinosaur’s back, which was at least 16 inches tall, may have been used to help this meat-eating theropod communicate among its own species, scientists theorize. Discoverer Francisco Ortega of Spain named it Concavenator corcovatus which means “the hunchback hunter from Cuenca.” Ortega said the hump could have been used to store fat or regulate body temperature, but there is also the distinct possibility that it was used by concavenators to somehow differentiate themselves or communicate with each other. But with only one of these dinos, it’s only speculation and is hard to figure out what the humps were meant to convey if they were tools of communication, he said. Paleontologist Paul Sereno at the University of Chicago, who wasn’t part of the study, thinks the only conceivable explanation is “an advertising role” because it follows similar pointy fins on other dinosaurs. “It is an ornamental crest that helps to distin- guish the individual,” Sereno said in an e-mail. “Perhaps it was brightly colored, perhaps it would have been well maintained and large in strong, healthy individuals.” If that’s the case, the hump could easily have been spotted from afar, Ortega said. “It’s really big,” Ortega said Wednesday. “It’s very, very impressive.” The 20-foot-long, twofooted dinosaur was from about 125 million years ago and was found in Spain, The discovery is reported in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. It is the most complete skeleton of a meat-eater yet, scientists say. Sereno called it “a spectacular specimen, a very great discovery.” This is the only fossil of its type, but Ortega said it’s unlikely to be an individual deformity and more likely to be a new type of dinosaur. And the hump is not the only strange feature of concavenator. On its arms it has knobs that seem like proto-feathers, giving more evidence of the connection between early theropods and birds, Ortega said. Because of the lack of scales and likelihood of feathers, Sereno said he would put this creature “at the base of the theropod (meat-eating) branch of the dinosaur family tree.” Grange contest winners recognized POMEROY — Project judging results which took place at the recent Pomona Grange meeting were announced at this week’s meeting of Hemlock Grange. The winners from Hemlock were Rosalie Story, first place in comfort toy; Ann Lambert, For the Table, embroidery, and lounge pants; Nina Craddock, plastic canvas; Roy Grueser, wooden ornament and wooden toy; Margaret Haning, crib quilt; Sara Cullums, quilt by a group and quilt by an individual; Opal Grueser, counted cross stitch and first in classes A,B,D and E in photography. At the meeting conducted by Rosalie Story, the installation of officers was held. A thank you note was sent to King Ace Hardware and officers were installed. Members were commended for the fair exhibit which took a second place in the judging. The group extended the use of the hall to the Boy Scout troop. Janice Weber, deaf chairman, had the program on hearing. She reported that hearing loss is the third most chronic condition in adults. There are two types of loss she said, conductive and sensorineural. A questionnaire was handed out to score oneself on hearing loss. She also talked about hearing aids on the market and suggested an audiologist can help determine what is needed. The October meeting will be preceded by a kabalsa and kraut dinner.

MSWCD to hold annual meeting STAFF REPORT POMEROY — The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District will hold its annual meeting, banquet and election 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 28, at Meigs High School with the election beginning at 6 p.m. Guest speaker will be Craig Hicks, wildlife disease biologist for the National Wildlife Disease and Emergency Response Program of USDA, Wildlife Services, who will give a presentation on feral swine in Ohio. In his current position, he conducts disease surveillance and management in a number of wildlife species in Ohio and responds to emergency outbreaks in other states. One of his primary responsibilities is coordinating feral swine disease surveillance activities throughout the state. Wild boars, or feral swine, have been reported in every county surrounding Meigs County, but there are no documented sightings in Meigs County. In addition, attendees of the banquet and meeting will elect one board member to the Meigs SWCD Board of Supervisors to serve a three-year term commencing Jan. 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2013. Candidates are Bill Baer of Racine, and John Tillis of Pageville. Baer is a retired teacher and principal who raises and sells alfalfa hay to area horse farms and for his own horses. “It has been a pleasure serving as supervisor with the Soil and Water Conservation District for the past nine years. It is very rewarding to see Meigs County residents qualify for government projects through the assistance of our office that are funded from state and federal monies,” Baer said. "As a retired principal and teacher, I have enjoyed leadership and being a team member to get work done. I can lead and serve my community as a Soil and Water Conservation District board member. I am looking forward to the continuing development of the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District Conservation Area on New Lima Road. Many school children have experienced a learning adventure on this area and we look forward to many more.” Tillis is retired from the Navy, worked in several businesses and now owns and operates Tillis Highland Farm in Scipio Township along with his wife, Pat. “Pat and I bought 88 acres of undeveloped land on routes 681 and 692 in Scipio Township in 2001. There were no fences, roads, utilities or buildings on the property. Half of the acreage was woods and half was cleared. Half of the cleared land was reclaimed mine land,” he said. Since then he has started a goat herd which has grown to 162 animals, planted 300 blueberry bushes and installed bird netting, developed a forestry plan and began to eliminate invasive species. This year the Tillises have sold 600 quarts of blueberries and have started a herd of grass-fed beef, raised without hormones or routine antibiotics. They make and sell Highlands food products at the Athens Farmers Market, Rocky Boots and Athens Kroger, making use of their wild berries along with cultivated berries and vegetables. "We hope to finish our farm development programs in the next year. Soil and Water has helped us and now I have time to give back by the serving the agency if elected and helping others to reach their goals,” Tillis said.

Page A3 Thursday, September 9, 2010 A S K D R . B R OT H E R S Her son always needs to be told Dear Dr. Brothers: We are at the end of our rope with our 14-year-old boy. You would think that he’s old enough to realize when things like mowing the lawn or taking out the trash need doing, but we always have to tell him. Repeatedly. Over the course of several days! My husband and I are sick to death of being drill sergeants all the time. At what age does it occur to kids to pitch in every once in a while for their free room and board? — L.J. Dear L.J.: Perhaps part of the problem is the free room and board! Not that you want to start collecting rent from a 14-yearold, but at this juncture he should begin to have some appreciation of what things cost and what they are worth. Ask him to help with the grocery shopping once in a while when he wants his favorite meal. Ask him to be responsible for some of his own chores, like taking care of his room, taking out his trash and washing his clothes. Perhaps he will be more willing if he is asked just to pull his own weight, not to do things for the whole family. Teenagers tend to be very dramatic and complain that they are being used as slaves when they would rather be out having fun with their friends or practicing sports, etc. One way to stop being drill sergeants is to set up a bulletin board with all the family chores on it and the days assigned to everyone for particular tasks. That will remove you from being the bad guys, and will make the calendar the culprit. Give your son the flexibility to trade with other family members or to be paid for certain odious tasks. This will allow him to feel more in control, and he may even pick something creative, like cooking, or practical, like painting or bicycle care, that can help him become a more capable and competent adult. Dear Dr. Brothers: I can’t believe I’m writing this. Our never-a-dullmoment 18-year-old daughter has saved up enough money to buy her- Dr. Joyce Brothers self a present: She wants to get new breasts! I was mortified when she told my husband and me — but he’s OK with it! I don’t know who I’m more mad at. I thought I raised my daughter with a whole “beauty lies within” philosophy, and I thought my husband was on the same page. What the heck can I do to put a stop to this? — G.O. Dear G.O.: I think you need to probe a bit to see why your daughter is thinking this way. Does she have a bunch of wellendowed friends who are making her feel less than pretty? Is she seeking approval from a boyfriend, or aiming her sights on a career in the adult-entertainment industry — or even looking to work at a certain restaurant chain known for large-breasted women? Does she feel unfeminine or not sexy because of her body type? There are many possible concerns, and I don’t blame you for being upset. To give your husband the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he is just filing this idea under “Whatever my baby girl wants is fine with me.” Perhaps it is not too late to talk to both of them about the downsides of this type of procedure. Better yet, you should have a trusted family physician do the honors. There may be implications later for infections, multiple surgeries, difficulty breastfeeding and many other unpleasant outcomes of breast enhancement. Perhaps after your husband hears about these, he will not be so willing to give your daughter the go-ahead.

Yes, good, clean water is a blessing and Middleport is fortunate to have an excellent supply. I don’t understand Mr. Miller’s premise of the 2,000 gallon “allotment per resident.” Residents are neither allotted, nor limited to, a certain amount of water usage. Water used to nourish the hanging baskets along our streets is provided by our good neighbor, Bob’s Market of Mason, W.Va. The water contains fertilizer and other nutrients so the flowers remain healthy and vibrant throughout the summer. Thanks to Mr. Miller for providing us the opportunity to share a few important facts about water usage in Middleport. H. Craig Wehrung Council Member Middleport Respecting Sunday Dear Editor: As members of the Meigs County Ministerial Association and the Middleport Ministerial Association, we commend the Meigs Local School District on recognizing and respecting Sunday as a day of rest. We appreciate the effort to avoid scheduling events on Sunday. Although not always possible with an ever growing list of activities for the young people of our community, we believe Meigs Local does their best to schedule events on the other six days of the week, leaving Sundays open for the choice of worship and other family activities. Placing an emphasis on learning and encouraging extracurricular activities, as well as not negating the value of developing a healthy, spiritual well-being, creates well-rounded individuals and a caring community. As leaders of churches in Meigs County, we believe in a holistic approach to meeting the needs of people. This includes developing individuals physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Building into the week opportunities to develop in all areas of life creates strong families and strong communities. Again, we want to show our appreciation to the Meigs Local School Board for placing an emphasis in these shared values to provide a healthy environment for the overall development of children and youth in this school district.

Time has all but run out for President Barack Obama and his party, which had hoped for a big economic turnaround by the homestretch of the midterm elections. But with just two months left in the campaign, the Labor Department reported Friday that the nation’s unemployment rate rose to 9.6 percent in August — inching up for the first time in four months as the economy shed 54,000 jobs and more than a halfmillion Americans resumed their work searches. “We’re moving in the right direction. We just have to speed it up,” Obama insisted, focusing on the 67,000 jobs that private business added last month. He struck both realistic and optimistic tones, saying: “There’s no quick fix” and, yet, “There are better days ahead.” For the country, maybe so. For Democrats, probably not. “It’s the economy, stupid,” was the oft-repeated message of Bill Clinton’s winning presidential campaign in 1992. The point: Don’t bother overmuch with other issues; elections are won or lost on how people are feeling about their own economic well-being. Now, the traditional Labor Day start of the fall campaign has arrived. And “Recovery Summer” — as the White House dubbed it earlier this year — is still among the missing. Making matters worse for the Democrats, early voting gets under way shortly in many states, including several with doubledigit joblessness that’s worse than the national average. Given all that, Democrats who have controlled Congress since 2006 — and during the near-economic meltdown of late 2008 — are bracing for a heavy dose of blame from frustrated voters. Obama, too. He inherited an economy in tatters from President George W. Bush, but he owns it now, in the second year of his presidency and following attempts to jump-start American business and industry. Those efforts included the much-heralded $814 billion stimulus plan that Republicans, and some voters, claim didn’t work. The president’s not on the ballot, but he’s got a lot on the line. Using the Democrats’ economic record against them, Republicans are pushing to gain control of the House and, perhaps, the Senate as well as a number of governorships. The outcome will shape the remainder of Obama’s first term and his likely re-election bid in 2012. Mindful of all that, Obama on Friday acknowledged that his administration must do more to create jobs and accelerate growth. He urged Congress to take up a small-business jobs bill and castigated Senate Republicans for blocking it. He plans to discuss a jobs package next week and travel to Wisconsin and Ohio to promote his administration’s economic work. There are signs, to be sure, that the economy is recovering; credit has loosened up, and industrial production has increased. Recent reports on housing, manufacturing and private sector hiring indicate slow growth. But it’s hard to feel like the economy is improving if you’re unemployed and can’t find work. And a Commerce Department report caused heartburn last week by showing the gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the economy’s output — grew at an annual rate of just 1.6 percent in the spring, more sluggishly than at the start of the year. Republicans used the latest economic news to pummel Democrats anew. “A year that began with Americans bracing for a jobless recovery has instead turned into a full-blown search for both jobs and a recovery,” House GOP Leader John Boehner said. Added Rep. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican: “The policies being pursued by the White House and Democrat leaders in Washington continue to create uncertainty and fear that is inhibiting productivity, innovation and job creation.” With those kinds of attacks and nothing good to say on jobs, Democrats have few options but to intensify their efforts to stoke fears of Republican economic policies — and try to make GOP candidates unacceptable. Nationwide, Democrats have been arguing that Republicans are cozy with Wall Street and would make a tough situation even worse by returning to a Bush-era economic approach that, they say, sent the country reeling. "He voted for all the Bush policies that got us into this mess, like tax breaks to ship jobs to China,” says an ad by Senate Democratic hopeful Alexi Giannoulias against Republican Mark Kirk in Illinois. “Then, after six straight months of job loss, Kirk voted against extending unemployment benefits, saying unemployment isn’t a big issue.” But in a sign they know how difficult a sell they have on the economy, Democrats also have been trying to shift the debate by warning voters that Republicans will privatize Social Security and decimate Medicare — perhaps an effort to scare seniors and get them to vote Democratic. Republicans, meanwhile, crow that the Democrats’ economic fixes have failed to create jobs. They ignore a report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that shows the stimulus plan increased the number of employed people by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million. And the GOP hasn’t yet offered a jobs plan of its own. That hasn’t stopped Republicans from going after Democrats on jobs, most notably in Nevada where the Senate Democratic leader is trying to fend off tea party-backed Sharron Angle. She recently rolled out a TV ad saying: “On Harry Reid’s watch Nevada’s unemployment rate has shot past 14 percent. Highest in the country. Our foreclosure rate is highest in the nation. Home values have dropped almost 50 percent. Those aren’t just numbers. They’re people who’ve lost their jobs. Families who’ve lost their homes ... and he wants to call me an extremist?” Elsewhere, a GOP-aligned outside group is running ads in Ohio promoting Republican Senate candidate Rob Portman’s jobs plan. Another one hits Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado for voting for the “failed stimulus program” and “over 100,000 Colorado jobs lost.” But for all the talk, neither Democrats nor Republicans have the power to create jobs between now and November. On Election Day, voters will sort through the campaign clutter to determine whom they trust the most on the two top issues of this campaign — fixing the economy and creating jobs. �Thursday, September 9, 2010 Veterans from Page A1 be honored. A special service of appreciation has also been included in the program in remembrance of the first responders and those who lost their lives in the attack on the Twin Towers, Sept. 11, 2001. The recognition and remembrance service is hosted by the Drew Webster Post 128, American Legion, with many other area patriotic organizations participating. Grand Marshall for the parade will be the Pomeroy Post’s 55-year member Mickey Williams, a past Post commander, past 8th District Commander and a delegate to state and national conventions for many years. Several bands will participate in the parade which will also include patriotic floats, and walking units. The parade will form near the ball field on Main Street, and move downtown beginning at 10 a.m. and on to the stage area where flag presentation ceremonies will take place and the program will be held. Displays of equipment from the National Guard and the Coast Guard will be on display on the parking lot, an information booth for veterans will be in place, and several concessionaires will be providing food. Tom Anderson, commander of the host unit, will extend the welcome Paving from Page A1 were on the Syracuse side of Pine Grove Road, Rose said. The Shelly Company has until June 30, 2011 to complete the entire job. Back in June, Rose said this year in Meigs County ODOT is involved with managing projects worth $12 million though he said some of those projects are county projects where ODOT has assisted with some but not all financing - in some cases counties are required to provide a 20 percent match. He added ODOT is basically the middle man, receiving federal dollars and then dispersing them to districts and counties for various projects. Some of the major projects which add up to this $12 million investment, besides the paving on Ohio 124 are: Improvements to Star Mill Park, walk path and sidewalk placement in Racine for just under $800,000. Much of this work has already been completed, including parking lot resurfacing, walking track lighting, park entrance upgrade, track maintenance, sidewalk construction and drainage upgrades. Intersection improvement at Elm Street in Racine with work including widening and construction of a turn lane as well as sidewalk improvements. The completion date is 2011 with an estimated cost of $400,000. Landslide repair using drilled shaft along Ohio 124 north of Barr Hollow Road with Alan Stone Company as the contractor at an estimated cost of $783,159. Replacement of three bridges along Ohio 681 beginning .04 miles east of Goose Creek Road with contractor Tom Mayle & Sons Construction Company at an estimated cost of $893,000. Two mile relocation of Ohio 124 in Long Bottom at an estimated cost of $7.5 million with a completion date of October. Commission from Page A1 “We do not want to spend unless it is necessary, but deadlines apply to elections and some of our necessary orders might not be fulfilled.” Many of the bills the board referred to yesterday were among those included in the edit list of bills commissioners approved for payment, totaling $121,082.20 for all departments. Vice President Michael Bartrum, who presided at the meeting in the absence of President Tom Anderson, said commissioners and the elections office will communicate better on budget matters to ensure that necessary materials are available and bills are paid. Also attending were Clerk Gloria Kloes and Mike Struble representing the Ohio Secretary of State. Ballots from Page A1 a significant cost to the county, not only because it is a costly process, but because state law required the county to print ballots sufficient for 101 percent of its registered voters, Smith said. Now, the law has changed, and fewer ballots must be ordered. The new system will reduce that number even more. Rita Slavin, board member, said the old requirements created much waste, in that only a relative few of the ballots printed were actually cast. That left the board with stacks of expensive but useless ballots. Only 8,000 ballots will be printed for this general election, Smith said. The new Ballot on Demand machine will cost $25,000, and has been financed through a leasing company. The county board will pay $5,000 per year until it is paid off, but Smith said the cost of the machine will easily be realized by the reduced printing costs. As to why the device is so expensive, Smith said it is necessary to print ballots to set standards. They are numbered and stubbed, so a standard computer program and printer are not sufficient to meet elections standards and voter fraud prevention standards. The system also allows the board to access its voter registration records in combination with the printer. Voters may begin casting their absentee ballots on Sept. 28.

Singling out House GOP leader John Boehner in his home state, Obama delivered a searing attack on Republicans for advocating “the same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place: cut more taxes for millionaires and cut more rules for corporations.” Obama rolled out a trio of new plans to help spur job growth and invigorate the sluggish national economic recovery. They would expand and permanently extend a research and development tax credit that lapsed in 2009, allow businesses to write off 100 percent of their investments in equipment and plants through 2011 and pump $50 billion into highway, rail, airport and other infrastructure projects. The package was assembled by the president’s economic team after it became clear that the recovery was running out of steam. There was a political component, too: With Democrats in danger of losing control of the House in November, Obama is under heavy pressure to show voters that he and his party are ready to do more to get the economy moving and get millions of jobless Americans back to work. However, none of Wednesday’s proposals, nor Obama’s call for allowing tax rates to rise for the wealthiest Americans, seems likely to be acted on by Congress before the elections, reflecting the battering Obama and congressional Democrats have taken in public opinion polls. Obama made one of his strongest appeals yet to allow the tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush — in 2001 and 2003 — to expire at the end of the year on schedule, but just for individuals earning more than $200,000 annually or joint filers earning over $250,000. The changes would affect dividend and capital gains rates and various other tax benefits as well as income from wages and salaries. The president’s strategy — pushing for legislation to save some tax cuts but not all — carries its own risks. Since all the tax breaks would expire automatically at the end of the year if Congress failed to act, that could result in sweeping increases for taxpayers at every income level — a major blow to recovery hopes and a colossal dose of blame for voters to parcel out to lawmakers and the White House. Some influential Democrats, and Obama’s own former budget director, Peter Orszag, have suggested a compromise might be necessary — one to temporarily extend all the tax cuts, perhaps for a year or two — given the current election-year animosity between the two parties. But in his remarks in Cleveland, Obama strongly signaled he wasn’t about to sign off on any such deal. “Let me be clear to Mr. Boehner and everyone else. We should not hold middle class tax cuts hostage any longer,” the president said. The administration “is ready this week to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less,” he said. It was a slight misstatement of his own position, since the $250,000 would apply to household income. The threshold for individuals would be $200,000 White House officials said Cleveland was picked as the speech site expressly because Boehner, who probably would become House speaker if Republicans take back control of the chamber in November, laid out his party’s economic agenda here in a fiery Aug. 24 speech. At that time, the Ohio Republican called for Obama to fire key economic advisers and to support an extension of all the Bush tax cuts. Boehner kept up the attack on Wednesday. “If the president is really serious about focusing on jobs, a good start would be taking the advice of his recently departed budget director and freezing all tax rates, coupled with cutting of federal spending to where it was before all the bailouts, government takeovers and ‘stimulus’ spending sprees,” he said after Obama spoke. Earlier, Boehner was even more specific on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” saying Congress should freeze all tax rates for two years and pare back federal spending to 2008 levels. The deep recession began in December 2007. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs noted that keeping the Bush tax cuts in effect just for two more years would represent a change from past calls by Boehner to keep them in place permanently. “My question for him is: Are they abandoning the permanent or are they going with the two-year P&G plans global Olay expansion BY DAN SEWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Procter & Gamble Co. sees its Olay skin cream brand as a major source of future growth, including with men. A P&G executive told investors Wednesday at a Barclays Capital conference in Boston that it is launching Olay in 15 new markets this year — including Brazil, a huge and rapidly expanding economy. It plans to increase its global presence from 69 to 100 markets in two years. Ed Shirley, vice chair of Global Beauty and Grooming. said P&G also sees good opportunities in Asian countries for male skin care products. P&G already has launched its new Olay Men Solutions in China. “Skin care will be one of the biggest growth drivers in our total portfolio,” he said. He noted that the Gillette brand has been adding new skin care products for men. Consumer products rival Unilever has also been rolling out men’s skin care items under its Dove and Vaseline brands. Shirley, a Gillette executive who joined P&G in its 2005 acquisition of the Boston-based razor maker, said the premium-priced Fusion ProGlide that made its U.S. debut in June became the best-selling razor after a week. It went to market at a suggested price of $10.99 for a handle and shaving head, 10 percent more than the previous Fusion. “When guys place sharpened steel on their face at 5 o’clock in the morning, they can tell the difference, trust me,” Shirley said. “Even at a premium, even in a challenging economic environment, guys trust the Gillette brand.” Shirley also said the new Gain dishwashing liquid, spun off from the laundry detergent brand, had shipments in its August launch month that were three times expectations.

Local leaders hope a new agreement could save some of the 214 jobs at the plant in North Baltimore, Ohio. Continental Structural Plastics announced plans last month to shut down the northwest Ohio plant and move into a closed factory in northeast Indiana. Union and company officials haven’t said whether the contract vote could change any of those plans.

The teen arrested Friday is charged with 11 juvenile delinquency counts, including rape and kidnapping, involving girls now 14 to 16 years old. Court records show the boy lives in Pataskala, about 17 miles east of Columbus. The assaults occurred from April 2008 through late May 2010, according to the court complaint.

Indiana activist to head federal anti-carp campaign BY JOHN FLESHER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — John Goss, an environmental activist and former state official from Indiana, was appointed Wednesday as the Obama administration’s point man in the fight to prevent Asian carp from gaining a foothold in the Great Lakes. Goss will oversee efforts by federal, state and local agencies to halt the advance of bighead and silver carp, which are on the verge of invading Lake Michigan through Chicago-area waterways. Scientists say if the prolific carp become established in the lakes, they could damage the food web and a $7 billion regional fishing industry. For four years, Goss has served as executive director of the National Wildlife Federation’s Indiana affiliate. Previously, he was director of the state Department of Natural Resources and also served as vice chairman of the Great Lakes Commission, an agency representing the region’s eight states. Goss “will help to ensure coordination among government agencies and the most effective response across all levels of government to this threat,” said Nancy Sutley, head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. He also will be Sutley’s primary adviser on the carp problem and be in charge of carrying out a $78.5 million federal strategy announced in February. It calls for a series of technological and infrastructure upgrades such as strengthening an electronic barrier on the man-made waterway linking Lake Michigan with the Illinois River. Critics say the plan lacks clear goals and timetables and is weak because it does not endorse closing navigational locks and gates in Chicago that could give the carp an opening to the lake — an issue that has sharply divided the region. Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylvania have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to shut down the locks and permanently sever the link between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds. A hearing on the case was continuing Wednesday. Illinois officials say closing the locks wouldn’t necessarily keep the carp from getting through, but would devastate Chicago-area barge and tour boat operators and drive up costs for businesses that depend on waterborne cargo shipments.

Sen. Michael Bennet, DColo., engaged in a tight re-election battle, said he “would not support additional spending in a second stimulus package” and that any new initiatives such as Obama’s infrastructure package should be paid for with leftover funds in the $814 billion stimulus package passed last year. Still other embattled Democrats, wary of alienating middle-class voters, are siding with Obama. In central Ohio, for example, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy has said the tax cuts for higher earners should be repealed but middle-income people should see no tax increases. Obama acknowledged recovery had slowed noticeably, with unemployment hovering just under 10 percent. “The middle class is still treading water, while those aspiring to reach the middle class are doing everything they can to keep from drowning,” he said. Polls have shown a steady slippage in Obama’s approval ratings and an accompanying rise in Republican prospects for winning House and Senate seats in November. That has chipped away at Obama’s leverage to get things done in Congress. $ LORDSTOWN (AP) — General Motors Co. has launched its Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan at its factory near Youngstown with a parade of red, white and blue models. Ohio and union officials were on hand along with employees for Wednesday’s event in Lordstown. GM North America President Mark Reuss arrived in a red Cruze with Gov. Ted Strickland, telling the crowd that “the rebirth of the American economy starts right here at Lordstown with a worldclass, high-volume car built in the heartland of America.” The Cruze goes on sale this month in U.S. showrooms, with a starting price of $16,995. The car is about the size of a Ford Focus or Honda Civic and replaces the Chevrolet Cobalt. It is expected to achieve up to 40 mpg on the highway thanks to a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. plan? I’ve seen him saying permanent so many times that I tend to believe that,” Gibbs told reporters aboard Air Force One. “That’s his plan and I think that continues to be his plan.” Republicans, and some Democrats, argue that the fragile state of the economy makes this a poor time to raise taxes on anyone — and that increases could stifle wealthier people’s appetite for spending. Obama argued that the rich are more likely to save additional money than spend it. And he said the struggling U.S. economy can’t afford to spend $700 billion to keep lower tax rates in place for the nation’s highest earners. That $700 billion is what the nonpartisan congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates it would cost the Treasury to continue tax cuts for top earners over 10 years. What Obama wants to do would cost just over $3 trillion over the same period, the panel estimates. The debate over the Bush tax cuts is an unwelcome one for dozens of vulnerable Democratic incumbents just weeks before Election Day.

The Lady Knights (26) found themselves scoreless and tied through 40 minutes of action, but some late heroics ultimately allowed PPHS to break through in the win column. With just minutes left in the second half and the score still tied at zero, Miranda Thompson uncorked a shot that hit the bottom of the cross bar. The ball caromed off the bar back into the field of play, where Meghan Bowles was waiting for the rebound. Bowles netted the rebound opportunity, which allowed the Lady Knights to ultimately score the game-winning goal. Point Pleasant outshot the hosts by a 23-2 margin, with Ashley Burns making successful saves on both CLCS shot attempts. Cross Lanes Christian fell to 2-2 overall with the setback.

Never in the history of Gallia Academy High School had there ever been a true home meet, as the Gallipolis Invitational had traditionally been held on the campus of the University of Rio Grande. But that streak came to an end on Tuesday night during the first annual Gallia Coaches’ Corner Invitational, which was held on the grounds of the new GAHS in Gallia County. A total of 166 competitors and 16 schools took part in the history-making event, which resulted in several fine performances by local runners within the Ohio Valley Publishing area. Gallia Academy won the team competition on the girls side, while Fairland came away with top honors in the boys division. Those two programs also had the first-ever champions on Gallia Academy soil, as Tanner Mattie of FHS won the boys race and Peyton Adkins of GAHS captured the girls title. Starting in the girls division, there were a total of 80 runners and eight teams in the event. The Blue Angels captured top honors with a team score of 37, followed by Chillicothe with 53 and Fairland with 60.

NFL. The Palmers are the only brothers to play quarterback together during the Super Bowl era. They’re only the second set of quarterback brothers on the same team — Ty and Koy Detmer were with the Eagles in 1997, though Koy missed the season with an injury. Carson Palmer won the Heisman at Southern California and was the first overall pick in the 2003 draft, taking over Cincinnati’s offense a year later. Jordan, who is four years younger, set passing records at TexasEl Paso, was drafted by the Redskins in the sixth round in 2007, played in one preseason game and was waived. He signed with the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League and was packing for Phoenix when the Bengals called with an offer to be their No. 3 quarterback. His progress over the last two seasons made them confident enough to release J.T. O’Sullivan and elevate him to No. 2 at the end of preseason. Jordan Palmer didn’t see it coming. “It’s definitely a boost of confidence to know there’s an organization MARAUDERS FALL TO WELLSTON behind me as opposed to just my wife and my mom,” he said, smiling. “That was good. At the same time, I think I’m ready to make the step. I’ve been preparing like a starter the last two years. The things that Carson does to get ready for the games, I try to do myself.” His main responsibility will be helping his older brother get ready during the week, reminding him of changes in the game plan and helping him see things on the field. “It is great having somebody that will keep things in check for you,” Carson Palmer said Wednesday. “Jordan will tell me like it is.

Chase Hayes led MHS with a 47, followed by Treay McKinney with a 48. Paul Gibbs and Braden Spencer also had respective efforts of 53 and 57 to round out the team score.

The White Falcons — with a team score of 181 — defeated the Tornadoes (222) by 41 strokes in league play. WHS also defeated the Rebels — who are not yet officially members of the TVC Hocking golf league — by 10 strokes. Kevin Black led the White Falcons with a low round of 39 for medalist honors, while Matt Arnold followed with a 46. Morgan Nottingham and Samuel Gordon posted matching 48s to round out the team score, while Dakota Sisk and Michael Hendricks added respective efforts of 51 and 56.

Seth Jarrell and Gus Slone both added matching 51s, while Cory Haner fired a 55. Adam Pape led the Tornadoes with a 51, followed by matching 57s from Andrew Roseberry, Cole Graham and Trenton Cook. Brandon Marcinko and Dyllan Roush also had respective rounds of 60 and 61. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Games from Page B1 Wahama will meet for the first time as members of the TVC Hocking. Wahama is coming off its first league victory, a 14-6 win over Trimble in Glouster, Ohio. The victory snapped the Tomcats 13-game league winning streak and opened the door for other TVC Hocking teams to win the league title. Eastern, who lost in week one at Alexander, defeated TVC Hocking opponent Miller last Friday by a score of 32-0. Eagle starting quarter back Brayden Pratt did not play in the week two victory. The White Falcons had 296 yards of total offense in last week’s win, while Eastern had 153 yards in week one and 366 yards in week two. Eastern’s Klint Connery has four touchdowns for the 2010 season. Wahama has had scores from Isaac Lee and Ryan Lee. A win by either team would improve its league record to 2-0, increasing the title chances. MEIGS AT RIVER VALLEY CHESHIRE, Ohio — It will be a matchup of 11 teams on Friday evening as the River Valley Raiders host the Meigs Marauders at Raider Field. For River Valley this will be the first home game of the season, with Meigs making its first road appearance of 2010. River Valley and Meigs have faced each other each year this decade, with the Marauders winning eight of the previous nine contests. The Raiders last defeated Meigs in 2003 by a score of 14-12. Meigs is coming off a 13-6 victory over Fairland, after dropping a week one game to Coal Grove. The Raiders were victorious in week one at Federal Hocking by a score of 27-6, and fell to Symmes Valley last week. The Marauders had 144 yards of offense in the week one loss and had 270 yards — 211 rushing — in last week’s win. River Valley had 291 yards in the week one victory and was held to 143 yards last week. WELLSTON AT GALLIA ACADEMY The Blue Devils haven’t been 2-0 to start a season since 2008, which coincidentally was the last time that the Blue and White had won consecutive games in a season before last Friday. After averaging 40 points a game in their first two outings, the Blue Devils will face a gritty Wellston team looking to bounce back from a tough 23-21 setback to Minford last weekend. The Golden Rockets (1-1) are under first-year coach Chris Hutchinson, who has already accomplished more in two weeks as WHS coach than any of his predecessors in the past 21 seasons. Hutchinson guided Wellston to a convincing 33-13 victory over Jackson in the season opener — which ended a 19-game losing streak against JHS. The Rockets have averaged 27 points per game offensively in two contests while allowing 18 points on the defensive side. Quarterback Jaylen Prater has been the key to the WHS attack, rushing for 188 yards and five touchdowns on 28 carries. Prater has also thrown for 218 yards on 17-of-29 passing, which has yielded one TD and one interception. Austin Osborne — who joined Prater with over 100 yards rushing in the Jackson game — has amassed 145 yards on 41 www.mydailysentinel.com totes, while Brad Miller and Timmy Ervin both have a rushing TD this season. Osborne is also the leading receiver for the Rockets, hauling in nine passes for 137 yards and a TD. Miller is second with three catches for 52 yards. Gallia Academy has outscored opponents 376 in the first half of two victories this year. Wellston will be making its first road trip of the season. SOUTHERN AT BELPRE Two teams in search of their first win of the 2010 season will square off Friday night when Southern travels to Belpre for a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Washington County. Neither the Tornadoes (0-2, 0-1 TVC Hocking) nor the Golden Eagles (0-2) have met in a headto-head matchup since the turn of the millennium, so Friday’s matchup will be a relatively new thing for both programs. Belpre — after years of playing in the TVC Ohio — will be making its Hocking Division debut while also trying to end a program-worst 14-game losing skid. Southern will be aiming to end its current losing skid of four straight, which dates back to the 2009 campaign. The Golden Eagles have losses to Warren (42-12) and Shenandoah (42-20) over the last two weeks, with running back Erik Waderker leading the BHS offense with four of the team’s five touchdowns this season. Quarterback Clay Ullman has the other score for Belpre. The Tornadoes are coming off a heartbreaking 8-6 setback to South Gallia last weekend in their home opener. SHS also lost a 39-13 decision to Symmes Valley in the opener. TRIMBLE AT SOUTH GALLIA M E R C E RV I L L E , Ohio — Fresh off its first win of 2010 and first TVC Hocking victory, the South Gallia Rebels will host defending TVC Hocking Champion Trimble on Friday evening. The Rebels and Tomcats have not faced each other prior to this Friday.

The Tomcats have lost both games this season by final scores of 14-6. The Rebels had 145 yards of total offense in the week two victory and 135 yards in the week one loss. Cory Haner and Danny Matney have connected on both touchdowns this season. Trimble had 242 yards of offense last week in the loss with Tyler Dyla scoring the only touchdown. SISSONVILLE AT POINT PLEASANT Two teams in search of their first win of the 2010 season will square off Saturday night when Point Pleasant makes its home debut against Sissonville in a Cardinal Conference matchup in Mason County. The Big Blacks (0-1, 01 Cardinal) had a rough go of things in their opener at Tolsia, which resulted in a shocking 28-21 loss. Point Pleasant will also be honoring its fourth Hall of Fame induction class during the contest. The Indians (0-2, 0-1), on the other hand, have failed to stay within double digits in either of their two setbacks. SHS lost 45-6 in the opener against Chapmanville, then suffered a 34-19 loss last week against Liberty Raleigh. Sissonville — which has amassed only 438 yards of total offense in two weeks — has allowed a whopping 788 yards defensively. Quarterback Austin Crawford has been the catalyst for the Indians, scoring in each of the two setbacks this season. PPHS head coach Dave Darst is 1-2 against the Indians in three seasons, including last year’s 17-6 loss. The home team has won the last three meetings. GREEN AT HANNAN If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. After having its losing streak extended to 14 consecutive games last week at home against Meadow Bridge, the Hannan Wildcats will look to get back in the win column Saturday night when they host Green in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Wildcats (0-2) — who are averaging 21 points per game offensively — have allowed over 40 points defensively in each of their two losses. HHS lost to Williamson 41-26 in the opener, then fell 46-16 last week against MBHS. The Bobcats (1-1), on the other hand, won their season opener against Manchester by a 40-6 count, then suffered a 47-8 loss last weekend to Fort Frye. Running backs Cody Bruce and Tyler Hughes both have a pair of rushing TDs this season, while quarterback Steve Blanton had thrown for 57 yards and zero touchdowns. Blanton, Robbie Applegate and Chad Lewis also have a rushing TD apiece this season for the Bobcats.

Delhomme brought the well-worn equipment with him to Cleveland after seven seasons in Carolina. He wears them during training camp because they’re much lighter than new ones, and any break from the summer’s heat helps. Veteran move. Delhomme laughs. “When I’m done, I’m going to give them to Colt,” Delhomme said Wednesday, referring to Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy. “They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.” The same could be said of Delhomme. Like his used shoulder protection, the 35-yearold quarterback has seen better days but can still get the job done. On Sunday in Tampa Bay, he’ll begin a new chapter — and maybe the final one — of an NFL career that peaked with a Super Bowl trip and bottomed out last season amid a flurry interceptions with the Panthers, who waived Delhomme when it ended. He’s got a fresh start, and so far it has gone better than Delhomme or the Browns could have imagined. “It has gone somewhat smoothly,” he said before practice, as if almost surprised. It’s been better than that. Delhomme played exceptionally well during the preseason. So well, in fact, that skeptical Browns fans, who wondered what the team’s new front office was doing when it signed Delhomme to a 2year deal, have become cautiously optimistic that the franchise’s dark era is history. Badly needing a proven leader at QB, Delhomme has filled that role, and in essence, taken control of the Browns. His teammates selected him a captain for the upcoming season, which kicks off against the Buccaneers, a team Delhomme is 9-2 against as a starter. “That’s always an honor,” Delhomme said of his selection as an offensive captain along with tackle Joe Thomas. “To be elected captain means more to me than almost anything else because it’s voted on by the people who know you best. It’s special.” Even more so because he was chosen before playing his first game in an orange helmet. But since the day he arrived, Delhomme has exuded confidence and commitment. Excited by the opportunity to jump-start both his career and the Browns, he has blended in effortlessly. It’s as if he and the Browns were made for each other. A perfect fit. “It’s a fresh start for me,” Delhomme said for the umpteenth time. “It’s new. It’s exciting. I enjoy the guys. I enjoy the locker room. I enjoy coming to work. This atmosphere doesn’t happen at all places like this.” He got kicked out of his last place. After a horrid 2009, the Panthers passed on Delhomme. Shaken by a six-turnover performance against Arizona in the 2008 playoffs, Delhomme threw a career-high 18 interceptions last season. Whenever he made a mistake, he tried too hard to make up for it and made another one. His bad football snowballed. Looking back, Delhomme, who has thrown 23 interceptions in his last 12 games, believes he knows what he did wrong and won’t do it again. “I’m just going to go out there and have fun,” he said. Delhomme could have re-signed with the homestate Saints — his first pro team — to back up Drew Brees. But he still wanted to play, and Cleveland provided him with a chance to step into the starting lineup right away. It’s up to him how long he stays. Before signing with the Browns, Delhomme did some investigative work. He had heard stories about coach Eric Mangini being overly demanding and difficult. Delhomme didn’t want to have any regrets if things didn’t work out in Cleveland. The opposite has been true so far. “I came here with an open mind,” he said. “I asked a lot of questions. I didn’t want to have my behind kissed. I wanted to come to a place where I could be a part of helping turn something around.” Mangini grinned when told Delhomme checked up on him. Backup from the facility,” he said. “When we come in here, it’s business. We come in here, we’re teammates, co-workers, colleagues. He’s not any easier on me because he’s my brother. He’s not any harder on me because he’s my brother.” The Bengals filled their No. 3 quarterback spot by claiming quarterback Dan LeFevour off waivers from Chicago. LeFevour was a sixthround pick from Central Michigan, where he threw for more than 12,000 yards and ran for more than 2,500 during his career. LeFevour’s coach at Central Michigan was Butch Jones, who is in his first season at the University of Cincinnati. “Coach Jones and I are very close,” LeFevour said Wednesday. “I’ve already stopped by there once. It’s good to be in town and know somebody.” LeFevour won’t be ready to run the offense for some time. In Central Michigan’s spread offense, he rarely took a snap under center and ran the ball frequently. He won’t get to run nearly as much in the NFL, something he doesn’t mind. “When you see the speed on defense, I’m OK with that,” he said. from Page B1 n’t sugarcoat things. He tells me when I am wrong and doesn’t tell me when I am right. I think that is what is most important. He helps me out tremendously.” So far, Jordan Palmer’s playing career has been limited to a dozen passes in 2008, when Carson missed most of the season with an elbow injury. Their faces and voices are alike, sometimes leading fans to mistake them. “When he was first here, it was funny because of how similar they are and how often people mix them up,” offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth said. “For Jordan to finally get a chance to show his maturity this year, it’s good. We’ve seen it not just in the games, but in practice moreso. You see him helping people out, doing more than just calling plays. That shows you the way he’s progressed since he’s been here.” Jordan Palmer said his relationship with Carson hasn’t been an issue with teammates. The brothers keep all family talk out of the locker room. “That stuff’s away COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2010 Ohio State Buckeyes ... BUCKEYES BUZZ: One of the real art forms of coaching is coming up with a way to familiarize your team with and prepare for the other team’s schemes and players. For instance, Ohio State’s scout team must try to simulate Miami QB Jacory Harris and the ‘Canes’ wide-open attack. Just how does the coaching staff replicate a junior Heisman Trophy candidate and the way he likes to play? Coach Jim Tressel was asked that question this week during preparations for Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium. “You do as well as you can with your personnel,” Tressel said. Third-team QB Kenny Guiton leads the scout team offense. Last week, he was Marshall ball-control QB Brian Anderson, who threw a lot of short, quick routes and never ran the ball. This week, he plays the role of Miami’s Jacory Harris, a strongarmed 6-foot-4 QB who would prefer to throw the bomb than flip a pass to a safety valve in the flat. It’s not an easy job. “A week ago he was the scout team player of the week and gave us a great look,” Tressel said. “He needs to do the same (this week).” QUOTE OF THE DAY: C Mike Brewster has been tutored by OL coach Jim Bollman for the last three years and now catches himself mirroring the same thoughts as his mentor: “It’s kind of scary but I think me and Bolls are thinking alike right now.” IN AND OUT: Miami DTs Micanor Regis and Curtis Porter are expected to return to the lineup after missing the 45-0 victory over Florida A&M due to undisclosed injuries. TB Graig Cooper is not expected to play after stand. Because it’s a ‘Cane thing. You simply wouldn’t understand it. Go ‘Canes!” He closes by making a “U’’ with both hands. NO GIMMES: Ohio State AD Gene Smith doesn’t take credit for scheduling games against the likes of Miami, USC and Texas, or the matchups in the next decade against Cal, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma and Tennessee. “We’ve kind of always been that way,” he said of the school’s willingness to take on all comers. “When I came here in ‘05, I looked at the future schedules and I just wanted to continue on with the philosophy I inherited. Jim (Tressel) and I talked about it a long time. He and (former AD) Andy (Geiger) were on that same page. I think it’s important to do. We just kept scheduling (like that) out to ‘19. It’s always been a philosophy of ours.” injuring an ankle in the opener. DT Jeremy Lewis was also hurt against FAMU and his availability has not yet been decided. “U’’ TUBE: Columbus TV stations have been stirring up Buckeyes fans by showing excerpts of a video posted on YouTube starring former Miami DT, ex-pro wrestler and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Here’s what “The Rock,” wearing a black Miami tank top, says in the brief clip: “Now this week we’ve got a big challenge coming up: Ohio State. So you know what that means to all you Buckeyes out there.
