"I am anxious to start programming drug and alcohol abuse preventions in our student population, and I excited to see us providing outreach to the community through the Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) in all of our districts in Meigs Co\lnty," Superintendent Tony Deem said. "The grant gave us the resources to help all students in Meigs County. I felt expanding CMCA to the other schools was important and was money that was better spent. If it helps the county, it also helps Southern. Mr. Buckley and Mr. Edwlu'ds were very receptive of the idea, and I appreciate their efforts to work together in serving all students of the county." The grant is administered from the Federal Department of Education and this summer Deem and Southern Administrative Assistant Scott Wolfe traveled to Washington, DC for four days to attend an orientation meeting on the grant which is formally known as the Southern Alcohol Prevention Initiative (SAPI). One teacher and three prevention specialists will also be hired through the grant. Raberta Hill has been hired as the Project SAPI Coordinator, while Wolfe serves as grant administrator and project director. "I am honored this opportunity arose for me," Hill said. "It is always great for a person to be able to go back to his alma-matre and serve its youth. This will be a personal challenge for me , and a great opportunity for our students." Southern ·will also initiate the "Reconnecting Youth" (RY) program which will begin in January for youth in grades nine-12 who are atrisk or exhibit multiple behavior challenges. It uses a partnership model in volving peers, school personnel, and parents to deliver interventions · that address decreased drug and alcohol involvement, increased school performance. and decreased· emotional distress. The class will be given for credit and will be by invitation only. The third program Southern will imtiate is "Class Action" which will combine li fe-skills, alcohol and drug prevention, and social studtes. The course will present accounts of the . legal system. and actually engage students in mock· trial activities. Project director Wolfe noted, "This may be one of the biggest opportunities that our school district has ever seen. It provides a time for all types of "life's little lessons" that often don't get taught today, either at school because we are teaching solely to the standards or at home because of our fast paced life styles." · Wolfe added the grant is significant not only in monetary terms but its ability to provide five new jobs and to Pl1ase see Grant.

Tourists flee as Hurricane Felix nears Honduras' Miskito Coastwith category-4 winds ·-1417--- ' BY ESTEBAN FEUX ASSOCIATED PR.ESS WRITER SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras - Planes shuttled tourists fro.m island resorts in a desperate airlift Monday as Hurricane Felix bore down on Honduras and Belize. But thousands of Miskito Indians were stranded along a swampy coastline where the Category 4 storm was expected to make landfall. Grupo Taca Airlines proviped special free nights to th~ mainland, quickly touchinr down and taking off aga.in to scoop up more tounsts. Some I ,000 people were evacuated from the Honduran island of Roatan, popular for its pristine reefs and diving resorts. Another I ,000 were removed from low-lying coastal areas and smaller islands. Felix's top ·winds weak~ned slight! y to 135 mph as 11 headed west, but forecasters warned that it could strengthen again before landfall along the Miskito Coast early Tuesday. From there, it was projected to rake northern Honduras, slam into southern Belize on Wednesday and then cut across northern Guatemala and southern Mexico, well south of Texas. A storm surge of more than 18 feet above normal tides could devastate Indian commumt1es along the Miskito Coast, a swampy, isolated region straddling the Honduras-Nicaragua border where thou sa nds live in wooden shacks, get around on canoes and subsist on fish, beans, rice, cassava and plantains. "There's nowhere to go here," said teacher Sodeida Rodriguez. 26, who was hunkering down in a concrete shelter. The only path to safety is up rivers and across lakes Ihal are too shallow for regular boats. but many lack gasoline for long journeys. Provincial hea lth official Efrain Burgos said shelters ' were being prepared, and medicine and sanitation kits were being brought in, but that 18,000 people must find their own way to higher ground. "We're asking the people "who are on the coasts to find a way to safer areas, because we don't have the capability to transport so many people," he said. ''The houses are made of wood. They're going to be completely swept away. They're · not safe." The storm was following the same path as 1998's Hurricane Mitch, a sluggish storm that stalled for a week over Central America, killing nearly II ,000 people. But Felix was expected to maintain a much more rapid pace. By Monday afternoon, crashing waves reached 15 feet higher than normal on Honduras' coast, but there was no rain yet. "We are ready to face an eventual tragedy," said Roatan fire chief Douglas Fajardo. Most tourists took the free flights out, but locals prepared to ride out the storm. "We know it's a tremendous hurricane that's coming," said real estate worker Estella Marazzito. The U.S. National HurriCane Center said Felix could dump up to 12 inches of rain in isolated areas. In the hi ghl and capital of Tegucigalpa, more than 100 miles inland, authorities cleared vendors from markets prone to nooding. Across the border in Belize City, skies grew increasingly c loudy and winds kicked up as residents boarded windows and lined up for gas. Touri sts competed for the last seats on flights to Atlama and Miami . Police went door-to:door forcin g evacuations. Liquor sales were banned, and stores were running out supplies.

Grupo Taca Airlines proviped special free nights to th~ mainland, quickly touchinr down and taking off aga.in to scoop up more tounsts. Some I ,000 people were evacuated from the Honduran island of Roatan, popular for its pristine reefs and diving resorts. Another I ,000 were removed from low-lying coastal areas and smaller islands. Felix's top ·winds weak~ned slight! y to 135 mph as 11 headed west, but forecasters warned that it could strengthen again before landfall along the Miskito Coast early Tuesday. From there, it was projected to rake northern Honduras, slam into southern Belize on Wednesday and then cut across northern Guatemala and southern Mexico, well south of Texas. A storm surge of more than 18 feet above normal tides could devastate Indian commumt1es along the Miskito Coast, a swampy, isolated region straddling the Honduras-Nicaragua border where thou sa nds live in wooden shacks, get around on canoes and subsist on fish, beans, rice, cassava and plantains. "There's nowhere to go here," said teacher Sodeida Rodriguez. 26, who was hunkering down in a concrete shelter. The only path to safety is up rivers and across lakes Ihal are too shallow for regular boats. but many lack gasoline for long journeys. Provincial hea lth official Efrain Burgos said shelters ' were being prepared, and medicine and sanitation kits were being brought in, but that 18,000 people must find their own way to higher ground. "We're asking the people "who are on the coasts to find a way to safer areas, because we don't have the capability to transport so many people," he said. ''The houses are made of wood. They're going to be completely swept away. They're · not safe." The storm was following the same path as 1998's Hurricane Mitch, a sluggish storm that stalled for a week over Central America, killing nearly II ,000 people. But Felix was expected to maintain a much more rapid pace. By Monday afternoon, crashing waves reached 15 feet higher than normal on Honduras' coast, but there was no rain yet. "We are ready to face an eventual tragedy," said Roatan fire chief Douglas Fajardo. Most tourists took the free flights out, but locals prepared to ride out the storm. "We know it's a tremendous hurricane that's coming," said real estate worker Estella Marazzito. The U.S. National HurriCane Center said Felix could dump up to 12 inches of rain in isolated areas. In the hi ghl and capital of Tegucigalpa, more than 100 miles inland, authorities cleared vendors from markets prone to nooding. Across the border in Belize City, skies grew increasingly c loudy and winds kicked up as residents boarded windows and lined up for gas. Touri sts competed for the last seats on flights to Atlama and Miami . Police went door-to:door forcin g evacuations. Liquor sales were banned, and stores were running out supplies. "I ju st wish they had more airplanes to take care of everyone who has to leave," said Atlanta, Georgia, · resident Mitzi Carr, 48, who cut short her weeklong vacation on Hatchet Caye.

There are 118 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Sept. 4, 1957. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School . in Little Rock. (The situation escalated in the coming ,weeks, with President Dwight D. Eisenhower finally ordering U.S. Army troops to escort the black students into the school and protect them. ) On this date: In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers. In 1888, George Eastman received a patent for his rollfilm box camera, and registered his trademark: "Kodak." In 1893, English author Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a "picture letter" to Noel Moore, the son of Potter's former governess. .. In 1907, 100 years ago, composer Edvard Grieg died in Bergen, Norway, at age 64. . In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities .during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital In 1957, Ford Motor Co. began selling its ill-fated Edsel. In 1967, Detroit TV station WKBD aired an interview with Michigan Gov. George Romney in which the Republican presidential hopeful attributed his previous support for the war in Vietnam to a "brainwashing" he' d· received from U.S. officials there during a I965 visit - a comment that damaged his White House bid. In 1987, a Soviet court convicted West German pilot Mathias Rust of charges stemming from his daring tlight to Moscow's Red Square, and sentenced him to four years in a labor camp. (Rust served about 14 months.) · Five years ago: President Bush promised to seek congressional approval for "whatever is necessary" to oust Saddam Hussein, including using military force. Secretary of State Colin Powell was heckled by dozens of activists on the closing day of the World Summit in South Africa. Texas cocktail waitress and aspiring pop star Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first "American Idol" on Fox Television. One year ago: "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, 44, died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest. Two U.S. warplanes accidentally strafed allied forces in southern Afghanistan, killing one Canadian soldier. A gunman opened fire on tourists in Amman, Jordan, killing a British man (a suspect was later convicted and sentenced to death). The Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger jet, took off from Toulouse, France, with a full load of passengers for the first time. . Thought for Today: "One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of priso~, but anything that goes beyond ~his is voluntary sub011ssmn to an unnecessary tyranny, and rs likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways." - Bertrand Russell, English mathematician-philosopher (1872-1970). OPINION However much the Bush administration warits {a ·say that America's economic "fundamentals" are "sound," for the long run. they definitely are not. It's true that the latest federal budget deficit projection is down; the second-quarter gross domestic product growth rate was bigger than expected; and poverty rates fell in 2006. It may or may not be the case that "the panic of 2007 ," induced by the col· lapse of the sub-prime lending market, was sue: cessfully contained by the swift action of the Federal Reserve. Regardless of the shortterm condition of the U.S. economy, the long-term condition has to be considered perilous - and both the current Congress and 2008 candidates should be required to address it. Specifically, this summer's collapse of the subprime mortgage market and the attendant plunge in credit availability and the stock market ought to serve as a double wake-up call about unregulated hedge funds and the extent to which the whole of the American economy is overleveraged - 'that is, in . debt. Also, the latest Census Bureau report on incomes and poverty showed modest improvements, but also warnings dramatic mcreases in the number of Americans lacking health msurance and continued stagnant wages. And the Congressional Budget Office's downward revision in the current year's federal budget estimate diverts attention from the fact that the long-term fiscal situation is, as the experts say, "unsustainable." The four principals of the bipartisan : Concord Coalition declared in a paper last month that the U.S. economy is "headed for crisis," warning that '· ' I ~ Another way of saying attract wider investments this is that the whole coun- -from pension funds, for try is over-borrowing, example putting a, over.consuming and greater share of the public,'" putting itself into debt. at risk.

As president, what will you do to restore our respect in other· democracies during this war of ideas as well as force? This administration has repeatedly invoked the "state secrets" privilege to prevent a court from conducting due-process hearings on cases brought by victims of CIA "renditions" and by American citi zens claiming standing to object to this administration's warrantless sur vei Han ce and databasing (recently expanded by Congressional approval). Justice Department lawyers claim they cannot explain, in any way, what these "state secrets" are that make it impossible for our courts to function in these cases.

In their debates, the Democratic presidential contenders have - with only a very few exceptions, and then only glancingly expressed concern about a growing uneasiness among Americans across the political spectrum that was distilled recently by U.S. District Judge John Coughenour in Seattle, Wash. : "If we render our Constitution obsolete out of fear, the terrorists wi)l have won." Furthermore, in this war against homicidal terrorists, which, as Donald Rumsfeld, among others, has said will last for decades, what can a new president do to regencrate Americans ' understanding of, and faith in, our Constitution? In 1944, speaking at an "I Am an American Day" in NeW•• York. Judge Learned Hand focu sed on "The Spirit of Liberty" at a time, he said , when "our young men are at this moment fighting and dying; in that spirit of liberty." He gave a warning of how eroded that spirit can become in this nation founded on that spirit. His words during that war are acutely contemporary no matter which political party next controls the White House and the Congress: " Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Newly released courts-martial documents show pattern of disregard by troops for rules of war Bv RYAN LENZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Newly released documents · regarding crimes committed by U.S. soldiers against civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan detail a troubling pattern of troops failing to understand and follow the rules that govern interrogations and deadly actions. The documents, released Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union ahead of lawsuit, total nearly I 0,000 pages of courts-martial summaries, transcripts and military investigative reports about 22 incid,ents. They sho..y repeated examples of soldiers believing they were within the law when they killed local citizens. The killings include the drowning of a man soldiers pushed from a bridge into the Tigris River as punishment for breaking curfew, and the suffocation during interrogation of a former Iraqi general believed to be helping insurgents . In the suffocation, soldiers ·covered the man 's head with a sleeping bag, then wrapped his neck with an electncal cord for a "stress position" they insisted was an approved technique.

Diaz also was convicted of mistreating a teenage detainee when he forced the youth to hold a smoke grenade with the pin pulled as Diaz questioned him at gunpoint. - A suspected insurgent in Iraq by Staff Sgt. Shane Werst, who said the man appeared to be reacbing for a weapon. Werst was acquitted of murder despite acknowledging he had fired and then planted a chrome Iraqi pistol on the suspect to make his claim of self defense more believable. In a previously unreported case, Pfc. James Combs was convicted of involuntary mansl<1ughter for shooting im Iraqi woman from a guard tower in what he claimed was an accident, though court documents and testimony indi· cate his weapon was set to fire multiple shots despite a regulation advising against such a setting. Another previously undi sclosed case involved Sgt. Ricky Burke, who was charged with murder for killing a wounded man alongside the road following a firefight. Staff Sgt. Timothy Nein. a member of Burke's military police ·company, testified he heard Burke say before the shooting, "It's payback time." Burke, a member of the Kentucky National Guard, was found not guilty of the charges that stemmed from the same battle that led to the first woman since World War II being awarded the Silver Star. In closing arguments, Burke 's attorneys asked the jury to recommend that soldiers be trained better for handling detainees. "They are not trained to standard," said an attorney not identified in the transcript. The attorneys also insisted that the rules of engagement are clear and in favor of soldiers, contending that the perception of hostility merits deadly action. Michael Pheneger, a retired Army intelligence colonel who reviewed the materials for the ACLU, said the documents suggest many allegations of war crimes in Iraq are not being made public. "Wars are messy by their very nature. These are dangerous circumstances, and the fog of war is out there," said ·Pheneger, who served in Vietnam. "But it's perfectly obvious that there is no rule of engagement that would authorize someone to kill someone in custody." PERSPECTIVE: Appalachian Records: Death sentence governor remembers his coal roots chances slim in slain BY JUUE CARR SMYTH N' STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS - At first blush, Gov. Ted Strickland's commitment to clean energy last week sounded even better than environmentalists had dreamed ·· One fourth -yes, a full 25 percent - of all the electricity Ohio produces should. be made using alternative energy sources by 2025. Even Environment Ohio, the most vocal renewable energy proponents in the state, had asked only for 20 percent by 2020. Then came the catch: Only half of the target the Democratic governor laid out in his new energy policy will be required to come from renewable energy - . that is, water, solar, wind or biofuel made from combustible farm products. The remainder could take. the form of advanced nuclear .or clean coal technologies - in other words, variations on the technologies dominating the electric market now. The operable phrase had changed from "renewable energy" to "renewable and advanced energy." Strickland, a former congressman from Appalachia, is well aware of the facts: The number of coal mining jobs in America has fallen from 335,000 in the 1950s to just 79,000 today. Three thousand of those jobs are in Ohio, mostly · in the state's south- eastern section where Strickland grew up. . It was highly unlikely that Ohio's fJtSt governor in a gel\· eration to hail from that part of Ohio would have carved the coal industry out of his. administration's . most significant energy policy statement. Still, a 12.5-peroent target for renewables had Environment Ohio exec~~tive director Erin Bower crying foul. ·She noted that 87 percent of the state's electricity comes from burning coal, compared with a national average of 53 percent. Ohio is ranked fourth nationally in its contributions to the country's carbon dioxide emissions problem, Bower said. Ohio ranks second nationally in the amount of those emissions coming from coal-ftred power plants. "The important dting.is that the Legislature and our governor really listen to Ohioans across the state who are clam- . oring for alternatives to being so dependent on fossil fuels, · which are putting Ohio at the . top of the list for mercury pollution and smog and soot pollution," she said. To qualify under Strickland's plan, a clean coal plant must conttol or prevent 80 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions that would come from a traditional plant. Knowing Strickland would faoe this policy battle if elected, energy interests lined his campaign coffers generously of Panich, Noel and Associates for Administration Building/Heart of the Valley from PageA1 Head Start HVAC project, at a cost of $5,039.50. • Approved an auction on Harton, William Harton, Timothy Knopp, Sept. 29 for the disposal of Christopher Yeater, Alisha district propert~ and inventory no longer m use.

Thousands of· SoCal homes still without power as ·heat wave stretches into 7th day LOS ANGELES (AP) Parts of Southern California sweltered in triple-digit tern· peratures Monday as a heat wave stretched into the seventh day and contributed to power outages that left thousands without air conditionmg. Temperatures soared in the San Fernando Valle~ with Woodland Hills reportmg I02 degrees and Van Nuys at 99, according to the NatioiiJ!} Weather Service. Downtown Los Angeles also was expected to see temperatures dirnb above 100. Southern California Edison said 20,000 customers in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties had no electricity, spokesman Steve Conroy said. · San Diego Gas and Electric Co., which serves San Diego County and southern Orange County, declared a power emergency and began preparing for potential rolling blackouts as demand hit a record. About · 30,000 of its customers experienced outages Monday, but electricity was restored to 22,000 of them by the afternoon, spokesman Peter Hidalgo said. "We need immediate energy conservation, or else there will he rolling blackouts," Hidalgo said. About 3,500 customers in scattered parts of Los Angeles also were .without power, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power spokeswoman Mary Anne Piersen said. "Probably more than 90 percent of them are due to stress on the system due to the heat," she said. "Different pieces of equipment get fatigued and blow out, so they · have to be replaced."

St. Louis has the nation's highest rate for large cities, at II ,748 crimes per 100,000 residents. Property crimes include larceny-theft such as bike thefts and shoplifting, as well as burglaries and car thefts. While they don't grab as . much attention as murders and bank robberies, property crimes are considered a quality-of-life issue that causes people to consider whether or not to continue living in a neighborhood.

There are 118 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Sept. 4, 1957. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School . in Little Rock. (The situation escalated in the coming ,weeks, with President Dwight D. Eisenhower finally ordering U.S. Army troops to escort the black students into the school and protect them. ) On this date: In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers. In 1888, George Eastman received a patent for his rollfilm box camera, and registered his trademark: "Kodak." In 1893, English author Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a "picture letter" to Noel Moore, the son of Potter's former governess. .. In 1907, 100 years ago, composer Edvard Grieg died in Bergen, Norway, at age 64. . In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities .during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital In 1957, Ford Motor Co. began selling its ill-fated Edsel. In 1967, Detroit TV station WKBD aired an interview with Michigan Gov. George Romney in which the Republican presidential hopeful attributed his previous support for the war in Vietnam to a "brainwashing" he' d· received from U.S. officials there during a I965 visit - a comment that damaged his White House bid. In 1987, a Soviet court convicted West German pilot Mathias Rust of charges stemming from his daring tlight to Moscow's Red Square, and sentenced him to four years in a labor camp. (Rust served about 14 months.) · Five years ago: President Bush promised to seek congressional approval for "whatever is necessary" to oust Saddam Hussein, including using military force. Secretary of State Colin Powell was heckled by dozens of activists on the closing day of the World Summit in South Africa. Texas cocktail waitress and aspiring pop star Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first "American Idol" on Fox Television. One year ago: "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, 44, died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest. Two U.S. warplanes accidentally strafed allied forces in southern Afghanistan, killing one Canadian soldier. A gunman opened fire on tourists in Amman, Jordan, killing a British man (a suspect was later convicted and sentenced to death). The Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger jet, took off from Toulouse, France, with a full load of passengers for the first time. . Thought for Today: "One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of priso~, but anything that goes beyond ~his is voluntary sub011ssmn to an unnecessary tyranny, and rs likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways." - Bertrand Russell, English mathematician-philosopher (1872-1970). OPINION However much the Bush administration warits {a ·say that America's economic "fundamentals" are "sound," for the long run. they definitely are not. It's true that the latest federal budget deficit projection is down; the second-quarter gross domestic product growth rate was bigger than expected; and poverty rates fell in 2006. It may or may not be the case that "the panic of 2007 ," induced by the col· lapse of the sub-prime lending market, was sue: cessfully contained by the swift action of the Federal Reserve. Regardless of the shortterm condition of the U.S. economy, the long-term condition has to be considered perilous - and both the current Congress and 2008 candidates should be required to address it. Specifically, this summer's collapse of the subprime mortgage market and the attendant plunge in credit availability and the stock market ought to serve as a double wake-up call about unregulated hedge funds and the extent to which the whole of the American economy is overleveraged - 'that is, in . debt. Also, the latest Census Bureau report on incomes and poverty showed modest improvements, but also warnings dramatic mcreases in the number of Americans lacking health msurance and continued stagnant wages. And the Congressional Budget Office's downward revision in the current year's federal budget estimate diverts attention from the fact that the long-term fiscal situation is, as the experts say, "unsustainable." The four principals of the bipartisan : Concord Coalition declared in a paper last month that the U.S. economy is "headed for crisis," warning that '· ' I ~ Another way of saying attract wider investments this is that the whole coun- -from pension funds, for try is over-borrowing, example putting a, over.consuming and greater share of the public,'" putting itself into debt. at risk.

As president, what will you do to restore our respect in other· democracies during this war of ideas as well as force? This administration has repeatedly invoked the "state secrets" privilege to prevent a court from conducting due-process hearings on cases brought by victims of CIA "renditions" and by American citi zens claiming standing to object to this administration's warrantless sur vei Han ce and databasing (recently expanded by Congressional approval). Justice Department lawyers claim they cannot explain, in any way, what these "state secrets" are that make it impossible for our courts to function in these cases.

In their debates, the Democratic presidential contenders have - with only a very few exceptions, and then only glancingly expressed concern about a growing uneasiness among Americans across the political spectrum that was distilled recently by U.S. District Judge John Coughenour in Seattle, Wash. : "If we render our Constitution obsolete out of fear, the terrorists wi)l have won."

Newly released courts-martial documents show pattern of disregard by troops for rules of war Bv RYAN LENZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Newly released documents · regarding crimes committed by U.S. soldiers against civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan detail a troubling pattern of troops failing to understand and follow the rules that govern interrogations and deadly actions. The documents, released Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union ahead of lawsuit, total nearly I 0,000 pages of courts-martial summaries, transcripts and military investigative reports about 22 incid,ents. They sho..y repeated examples of soldiers believing they were within the law when they killed local citizens. The killings include the drowning of a man soldiers pushed from a bridge into the Tigris River as punishment for breaking curfew, and the suffocation during interrogation of a former Iraqi general believed to be helping insurgents . In the suffocation, soldiers ·covered the man 's head with a sleeping bag, then wrapped his neck with an electncal cord for a "stress position" they insisted was an approved technique.

Diaz also was convicted of mistreating a teenage detainee when he forced the youth to hold a smoke grenade with the pin pulled as Diaz questioned him at gunpoint. - A suspected insurgent in Iraq by Staff Sgt. Shane Werst, who said the man appeared to be reacbing for a weapon. Werst was acquitted of murder despite acknowledging he had fired and then planted a chrome Iraqi pistol on the suspect to make his claim of self defense more believable. In a previously unreported case, Pfc. James Combs was convicted of involuntary mansl<1ughter for shooting im Iraqi woman from a guard tower in what he claimed was an accident, though court documents and testimony indi· cate his weapon was set to fire multiple shots despite a regulation advising against such a setting. Another previously undi sclosed case involved Sgt. Ricky Burke, who was charged with murder for killing a wounded man alongside the road following a firefight. Staff Sgt. Timothy Nein. a member of Burke's military police ·company, testified he heard Burke say before the shooting, "It's payback time." Burke, a member of the Kentucky National Guard, was found not guilty of the charges that stemmed from the same battle that led to the first woman since World War II being awarded the Silver Star. In closing arguments, Burke 's attorneys asked the jury to recommend that soldiers be trained better for handling detainees. "They are not trained to standard," said an attorney not identified in the transcript. The attorneys also insisted that the rules of engagement are clear and in favor of soldiers, contending that the perception of hostility merits deadly action. Michael Pheneger, a retired Army intelligence colonel who reviewed the materials for the ACLU, said the documents suggest many allegations of war crimes in Iraq are not being made public. "Wars are messy by their very nature. These are dangerous circumstances, and the fog of war is out there," said ·Pheneger, who served in Vietnam. "But it's perfectly obvious that there is no rule of engagement that would authorize someone to kill someone in custody." PERSPECTIVE: Appalachian Records: Death sentence governor remembers his coal roots chances slim in slain BY JUUE CARR SMYTH N' STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS - At first blush, Gov. Ted Strickland's commitment to clean energy last week sounded even better than environmentalists had dreamed ·· One fourth -yes, a full 25 percent - of all the electricity Ohio produces should. be made using alternative energy sources by 2025. Even Environment Ohio, the most vocal renewable energy proponents in the state, had asked only for 20 percent by 2020. Then came the catch: Only half of the target the Democratic governor laid out in his new energy policy will be required to come from renewable energy - . that is, water, solar, wind or biofuel made from combustible farm products. The remainder could take. the form of advanced nuclear .or clean coal technologies - in other words, variations on the technologies dominating the electric market now. The operable phrase had changed from "renewable energy" to "renewable and advanced energy." Strickland, a former congressman from Appalachia, is well aware of the facts: The number of coal mining jobs in America has fallen from 335,000 in the 1950s to just 79,000 today. Three thousand of those jobs are in Ohio, mostly · in the state's south- eastern section where Strickland grew up. . It was highly unlikely that Ohio's fJtSt governor in a gel\· eration to hail from that part of Ohio would have carved the coal industry out of his. administration's . most significant energy policy statement. Still, a 12.5-peroent target for renewables had Environment Ohio exec~~tive director Erin Bower crying foul. ·She noted that 87 percent of the state's electricity comes from burning coal, compared with a national average of 53 percent. Ohio is ranked fourth nationally in its contributions to the country's carbon dioxide emissions problem, Bower said. Ohio ranks second nationally in the amount of those emissions coming from coal-ftred power plants. "The important dting.is that the Legislature and our governor really listen to Ohioans across the state who are clam- . oring for alternatives to being so dependent on fossil fuels, · which are putting Ohio at the . top of the list for mercury pollution and smog and soot pollution," she said. To qualify under Strickland's plan, a clean coal plant must conttol or prevent 80 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions that would come from a traditional plant. Knowing Strickland would faoe this policy battle if elected, energy interests lined his campaign coffers generously of Panich, Noel and Associates for Administration Building/Heart of the Valley from PageA1 Head Start HVAC project, at a cost of $5,039.50. • Approved an auction on Harton, William Harton, Timothy Knopp, Sept. 29 for the disposal of Christopher Yeater, Alisha district propert~ and inventory no longer m use.

MEMBER EXCHANGE BY MIKE BOYER THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER ! ! I MASON - Nearly two years after losing his job at the former UBE Automotive plant here, pan Sponaugle is starting a new career as a paralegal with the help of a littleknown federal program that helps manufacturing workers who lose their jobs because of international trade. · Over 'the last 12 years more than 71.242 Ohio workers like Sponaugle have been approved for assistance under the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance, a 33-year-old U.S. Department of Labor program that pays for up to. two ye_ars of training, extended unemployment compensauo~ dunng training, and other assistance for workers whose JObs are outsourced overseas or lost to foreign competition. "It's been a godsend," said Sponaugle, 38, who graduated in mid-August from Sinclair C_ommunity College with an associate's degree in paralegal studies and has a job with a Dayton employment law firm. "It's been a struggle, but we couldn't have done it without TAA." Sponaugle lives with his wife, Julie, and daughter Jamilee. While he has gone to school full time, the family's gotten by on extended unemployment benefits and his wife's job at a pizza parlor. TAA funding expires Sept. 30, and there's an effort in Congress to increase funding and expand its benefits for the first time to include service workers. Advocates say the program is critical for industrial states such as Ohio, which has lost more than 240,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, many as result of foreign competi·tion, and is experiencing a new wave of job cuts. For example, Ford Motor Co. is slashing thousands of jobs and closmg locations, including the Batavia transmission plant. Among several proposals to extend TAA, the most comprehensive, say advocates, is a bill sponsored by U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, which would double _the training services budget from $220 million to $440 million. The bill would specifically extend TAA to service workers - such as those in telephone call centers - whose jobs are increasingly moving overseas. That could have made the difference for about I 70 workers at Avon Products call center in_Springdale who were denied TAA certification in May after the beauty products maker announced it was scaling back operations, according to the nonprofit Policy Matters Ohio. "I don't think we've reached the low point in terms of job losses (in Ohio and Michigan)" said Rick McHugh, Midwest coordinator for the National Employment Law Project, another nonprofit that helps workers with unemployment and retrainmg issues. · "TAA is potentially the best tool we' ve got, if we want to give people a shot at maintaining a middle-class lifestyle." Spqnaugle was one of about 300 workers who lost their jobs in October 2005 when JapaJ!Slse-based UBE Automotive closed its plant. UBE pr6duced aluminum wheels for General Motors, Ford and other automakers. UBE, which said the Mason plant lost about $70 million in the two years before closing, moved production to a sister facility in Ontario that had an adjacent chrome plating operation, said Sponaugle, former president of United Auto Workers Local 2332 at the plant. "We can compete (in world markets), but there needs to be fair trade instead of free trade," he said. There's been no strong opposition to extending and expanding TAA, but advocates· say some observers want any extension to be tied to an extension of the president's authority to negotiate new trade agreements. That would be a mistake, said Jon Honeck, research analyst with Policy Matters Ohio. "TAA reauthorization should stand on its own merits and should not be held hostage to future or pending trade deals," said Honeck, who blames U.S. trade policies for many of Ohio's manufacturing job losses, After working 14 years as a die-cast machine operator at UBE, Sponaugle said he wanted to get out of manufacturing. · "We made good money if you factored in all the overtime," he said, but his skills were limited to operating a diecast machine Local stocks · AEP (NYSE) - 44.48 Akzo (NASDAQ)- 79.00 Ashland Inc.

PLEASANT VALLEY HOSPITAL n, raMI~,, p~.,l("" --- ---- ----------------- �-. MEMBER EXCHANGE BY MIKE BOYER THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER ! ! I MASON - Nearly two years after losing his job at the former UBE Automotive plant here, pan Sponaugle is starting a new career as a paralegal with the help of a littleknown federal program that helps manufacturing workers who lose their jobs because of international trade. · Over 'the last 12 years more than 71.242 Ohio workers like Sponaugle have been approved for assistance under the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance, a 33-year-old U.S. Department of Labor program that pays for up to. two ye_ars of training, extended unemployment compensauo~ dunng training, and other assistance for workers whose JObs are outsourced overseas or lost to foreign competition. "It's been a godsend," said Sponaugle, 38, who graduated in mid-August from Sinclair C_ommunity College with an associate's degree in paralegal studies and has a job with a Dayton employment law firm. "It's been a struggle, but we couldn't have done it without TAA." Sponaugle lives with his wife, Julie, and daughter Jamilee. While he has gone to school full time, the family's gotten by on extended unemployment benefits and his wife's job at a pizza parlor. TAA funding expires Sept. 30, and there's an effort in Congress to increase funding and expand its benefits for the first time to include service workers. Advocates say the program is critical for industrial states such as Ohio, which has lost more than 240,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, many as result of foreign competi·tion, and is experiencing a new wave of job cuts. For example, Ford Motor Co. is slashing thousands of jobs and closmg locations, including the Batavia transmission plant. Among several proposals to extend TAA, the most comprehensive, say advocates, is a bill sponsored by U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, which would double _the training services budget from $220 million to $440 million. The bill would specifically extend TAA to service workers - such as those in telephone call centers - whose jobs are increasingly moving overseas. That could have made the difference for about I 70 workers at Avon Products call center in_Springdale who were denied TAA certification in May after the beauty products maker announced it was scaling back operations, according to the nonprofit Policy Matters Ohio. "I don't think we've reached the low point in terms of job losses (in Ohio and Michigan)" said Rick McHugh, Midwest coordinator for the National Employment Law Project, another nonprofit that helps workers with unemployment and retrainmg issues. · "TAA is potentially the best tool we' ve got, if we want to give people a shot at maintaining a middle-class lifestyle." Spqnaugle was one of about 300 workers who lost their jobs in October 2005 when JapaJ!Slse-based UBE Automotive closed its plant. UBE pr6duced aluminum wheels for General Motors, Ford and other automakers. UBE, which said the Mason plant lost about $70 million in the two years before closing, moved production to a sister facility in Ontario that had an adjacent chrome plating operation, said Sponaugle, former president of United Auto Workers Local 2332 at the plant. "We can compete (in world markets), but there needs to be fair trade instead of free trade," he said. There's been no strong opposition to extending and expanding TAA, but advocates· say some observers want any extension to be tied to an extension of the president's authority to negotiate new trade agreements. That would be a mistake, said Jon Honeck, research analyst with Policy Matters Ohio. "TAA reauthorization should stand on its own merits and should not be held hostage to future or pending trade deals," said Honeck, who blames U.S. trade policies for many of Ohio's manufacturing job losses, After working 14 years as a die-cast machine operator at UBE, Sponaugle said he wanted to get out of manufacturing. · "We made good money if you factored in all the overtime," he said, but his skills were limited to operating a diecast machine Local stocks · AEP (NYSE) - 44.48 Akzo (NASDAQ)- 79.00 Ashland Inc.

You make sacrifices and those sacrifices end up helping your game out." Coach Romeo Crennel ·said Monday the posiiion will be evaluated on a weekly basis. "It doesn't do me any good to say a guy 's the starter for the whole year," he said. "Every posttion, I've told CoNTACfUS them, is not set in stone. OVP ScoreLine (5 p,m,·1 o.m.J Roles change."

There never was much doubt about the outcome. The real questions involve next summer. For starters, who is the favorite in Beijing? "Obviously us," U.S. star Carmelo Anthony said. "I guess us right now." Maybe so, but it won't be easy - cenainly not as easy as the Olympic qualifier.

"Fortunately for us, we had our .guy out there who is also one of the best in the game."

The next one clocked in at · 82. Then, 83 mph. This is a comeback? After a couple of those very tentative ftrst hies, Martinez go~ back to ·doing what he's Illways been'able to do so well for so long - get batters out no matter what he's got on any given day. Taking the mound II . months after major shoulder surgery, the 35-year-old pitcher was the amazing Met. He squeezed five innings out of his shoulder on Monday, got his 3,000th career strikeout and led the New York Mets to a 10-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. ''Today was another one of . those days when he amazes you," manager Willie Randolph said. The mind-bog11ling part? He's still rusty, still gettmg a feel for his fastball, and still limited by a pitch count that makes it tough to win a game. He won anyway, giving up three runs and five hits in five innings. "Indescribable," the threetime Cy Young winner said. "So far, so ~ood. It was good enough. I dad what I was supposed to do. I got 75 pitches 10 I gave my team an opportunity. I felt I settled down after the first inning and got everything in control again." With Martinez back on the mound, the Mets appear to have regained control of the NL East. The)' moved six games ahead of Philadelphia with their fourth straight victory, which ties their season high. A swoon last week cut the Mets' lead to only two games over the PhiJiies. Fretting over their slide, the Mets decided to put Martinez back in the rotation after only four minor league rehabilitatiol) appearances. Too soon? Sure looked that way at the start. Especially when those frrst few pitches made the radar gun put up the kind of numbers that used to signify his change-up. '.'In that ftrst' inning, he was feeling everything out," catcher Paul Lo Duca said.

There never was much doubt about the outcome. The real questions involve next summer. For starters, who is the favorite in Beijing? "Obviously us," U.S. star Carmelo Anthony said. "I guess us right now." Maybe so, but it won't be easy - cenainly not as easy as the Olympic qualifier.

C. C. Sabathia threw eight shutout innings, and the Indians topped Santana and the Twins once more with a 5-0 victory on Monday that extended their lead over the defending division champs to 10 1/2 games. Cleveland is 12-4 against Minnesota and 5-0 against the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner this year. "He's a great pitcher, one of the best in the game," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "Fortunately for us, we had our .guy out there who is also one of the best in the game." The last time a Twins pitcher went 0-5 in one season against the same opponent was 1974, when Joe Decker lost five straight to the Oakland Athletics.

The next one clocked in at · 82. Then, 83 mph. This is a comeback? After a couple of those very tentative ftrst hies, Martinez go~ back to ·doing what he's Illways been'able to do so well for so long - get batters out no matter what he's got on any given day. Taking the mound II . months after major shoulder surgery, the 35-year-old pitcher was the amazing Met. He squeezed five innings out of his shoulder on Monday, got his 3,000th career strikeout and led the New York Mets to a 10-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. ''Today was another one of . those days when he amazes you," manager Willie Randolph said. The mind-bog11ling part? He's still rusty, still gettmg a feel for his fastball, and still limited by a pitch count that makes it tough to win a game. He won anyway, giving up three runs and five hits in five innings. "Indescribable," the threetime Cy Young winner said. "So far, so ~ood. It was good enough. I dad what I was supposed to do. I got 75 pitches 10 I gave my team an opportunity. I felt I settled down after the first inning and got everything in control again." With Martinez back on the mound, the Mets appear to have regained control of the NL East. The)' moved six games ahead of Philadelphia with their fourth straight victory, which ties their season high. A swoon last week cut the Mets' lead to only two games over the PhiJiies. Fretting over their slide, the Mets decided to put Martinez back in the rotation after only four minor league rehabilitatiol) appearances. Too soon? Sure looked that way at the start. Especially when those frrst few pitches made the radar gun put up the kind of numbers that used to signify his change-up. '.'In that ftrst' inning, he was feeling everything out," catcher Paul Lo Duca said.
