"Higher education tends to be the balancing well in state budgets, and that is continuing to some extent" After losing hundreds of millions of dollars in spending cuts during the past two years, public colleges and universllies received an increase of less than I percent - or $2.44 billion - in the budget year that began Tuesday and less· than 2 per- cent - or $2.48 billion the following year. The budget also limits tuition increases to 6.percent; but allows another 3. 9 percent boost if that money goes to technology upgrades or scholarships for needy stu· dents. Lawmakers said higher education was one of the few areas that saw gains in the budget. "We're now positioned to come out of the next two years with a continued focus · for higher education in the future," said Sen. Jeff Jacobson , a Dayton-area Republican who helped put together the budget. Lawmakers also said the state is making investments in higher education outside of the stale operating budget. "When the dollars aren' t there, there are other creative ways of showin~ our support," said Rep. Jtm Hughes, a Republican from Columbus who leads the House higher education subcommittee. He said that much of the capital budget is dedicated to lhe state's colleges and universities and that the state has begun awarding research and development grants for Gov. Bob Taft's Third Frontier program. · Petrick said the system is trying to cope with a marginal budget increase while anticipating an additional Please see Tuition, AS Ohjo Harmonica --dJ.~ ~·-Ctiampionship returning to Chester Stewart serves congregati9n NICE PRIVATE PRICING www.mydaily<entinel rom MONDAY .

M-IDDLEPORT A church pastor .on a HarleyDavidson motorcycle, wearing shorts and sandals, may not be the typical image of a small-town minister, but that's all right with Chris Stewart, who is leading a different kind of church in Middleport arid Athens. Stewart is a Middleport native, the son of Mike and Sharon Stewart, and after spending several years as a youth pastor in Waverly, St. Louis, Mo., and Wauseon, returned to Southeastern Ohio - on a mission. ''While in St. Louis, my wife, April, and I decided we wanted to plant churches," Stewart said. "But we knew we wanted to start a different kind of church." The church the Stewarts envisioned was "casual, laid back, and comfortable." But it wasn't until a trip home to Meigs County for family Christmas that Stewart decided to return here to start that church. In Wauseon, he pastored at the Oasis Christian Fellowship, a modern house of worship which emphasizes contemporary music, and he gave his new Athens church the same name. Now, two years later, a second congregation is thriving in his old fiometown of Middleport. The congregations meet separately during the week (the Middleport congregation meets in his parents' home, the Athens group in another private home). On Sundays, the congregations join together at the Legion Annex in Middleport. To supplement the family income. Stewart taught language arts in the Ea~tern Local School District last year, but won't be returning this year, choosing instead to serve, a~ain, as a full-time pastor to hts growing congregation. "I have no regrets aboul coming back home," Stewart said. "A burden has been lift· ed off my shoulders and I think there are great things to come for our churcl\ here." Chris Stewart, pastor of·Oasis Christian Fellowship, doesn"t fit the image of the run-of-the-mill min ister - and that's OK with him. Stewart's chu rch emphas ises worship services in a casual, comfortable setting. ~ 2003 Ohio Valley PublishinJ Co. BREMEN BANK v. .. Attention Cancer Survivors!

The Legislature recessed for the summer on June 25 without passing a resolution to authorize voters to decide whether to put slots at Ohio race tracks or completing a bill that would allow Ohioans to carry hidden guns. The slots issue died in the face of growing opposition from Republicans. They didn't want a prescription drug discount plan tied to the proposal and Kevin Coughlin, chairman of the Senate State and Local Government Committee, became impati~nt with Democrats who wanted the drug plan and college scholarships in the resolution.

Fifty to 60 people at a trail· er park in Rockford in Mercer Couniy were evacuated early Monday. About 30 of them spent the night at an emergency shelter in Celina. "The water was really coming in fast," said Wanda Dicke, deputy director of the Mercer County Emergency Management Agency. Three to 5 inches of rain soaked the western Ohio county on Sunday, the most rainfall as a third straight day of thun· derstorms hit the state, the National Weather Service said. Residents in Montezuma were piling sandbags to protect homes next to the ri sing water of Grand Lake St. Mary, Dicke said.

Lane, a member of the speech team, band and National Honor Society at Point Pleasant High School, said the courses he's chosen to take at the academy are literature and forensic engineering. He said he chose literature to "help me prepare for college" and forensic engineering from his interest in "knowing how things work." Lane said he may be returning to Marshall a year from now to begin a career in medicine. He said he's considering medicine after the death of an uncle from cancer and "not wanting to see anyone else die from it." more bad weather. Don Hughes, a meteorologist with the Weather Service in Wilmington, said showers and thunderstorms were possible through Tuesday. Some of the storms "could be severe just because we have so much moisture and instability around," he said Sunday night. A heavy afternoon downpour swelled the normally calm Chagrin River in north~ast Ohio. Four people who were wading in about a foot of water had to be rescued after they were overwhelmed by a surge about four feet high, the Willoughby Fire Department said. The waders were not hurt.

Here, he said he got the opportunity to explore medicine a little bit in studying biotechnology with a concentration on . gene therapy in addition to other courses like philosophy and West Virginia history. Lane said the past two weeks for him haven't been all work and no play. }Ie said the school took participants to the Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre in Wytheville, Va., their last night and the academy has allotted time for socializing with course work.

But don't count on either issue to go away. Backers of the slots proposal are cbnsidering a constitutional amendment to put on the ballot next year. They would be required to collect 322,899 signatures of Ohio voters to get it on the ballot. If the signatures cannot be gathered and certified by Aug. 6, the deadline for the Nov. 4 eJection, backers would have to either turn · again to the Legislature or collect signauues for the November 2004 election. The Ohio Constitution does not permit citizen petitions on the primary ballot, but the Legislature could get it on the March ballot. "The tracks and some other people are serious about getting signatures and putting it on the ballot," said Sen. Louis Blessing, a Cincinnati Republican who has promoted the idea for years. "They don't have a choice. It's expanded all around them." Blessing and other backers say that Ohioans already are gambling, only in states such as Michigan, West Virginia and Indiana.

Charlene Hoeflich General manager and news editor NATIONAL VIEW Bust US birthrate hits a record low The Washingtm1 Post on National Statistics report: . " Honey, I shrunk the kids" might well have been the tule of last month's National Vital Statistics report, whtch shows that the U.S. birthrate has hit a record low. The U.S , population isn't shrinking--yet. But if current trends continue. the country will grow increasingly reliant on immigration to bolster the ranks of its working-age population. Thankfully, the shrunken birthrate is largely a result of falling numbers of teen pregnancies, which have steadily declined si nce the 1990s, thanks in par\ to public awareness campaigns. Also, the graying of the population has contributed to the lower birthrate, as more people hve longer past the traditional years of fertility. Nevertheless, a larger trend is unmistakable : Birthrates for women in their peak reproductive years are down. Women are waiting longer before having children and are having fewer when they finally do. As a result, the U.S. birthrate has been dropping and is now just below replacement level. That it remains among the highest in the developed world is not much consolation: Most of the rich nations of Europe. as well as Japan, are facing a demographic crisis because of low birthrates. A village in Spain is now giving a pig to each set of new parents as an inducement, and throughout Europe other nations are resorting to such wacky and desperate measures to encourage childbirth . If current trends persist, many nations are a few decades away from an untenable paradigm of fewer and fewer working-age people supporting the rapidly growing elderly popu· lation. · Fortunately, the United States is still far removed from a problem of that scale. But countries with shrinking populations may stagnate economically, intellectually and militarily. If future generations are to carry on the American vibrancy and dynamism, the country p1ust be prepared to embrace more babies, and more adults from around the world. The rain was coming down and traffic was the usual aggravating slog. At the California Tortilla restaurant in Rockville, Md., on a patio boasting a view of a suburban pal'king lot, near! y 70 people gathered around cafe tables with strangers, writing letters to people they didn't know. A Howard Dean " meetuP." is part Jane Austen, part Btll Gates. Across the country Wednesday night, thousands . of people drawn together · through the power of the Internet dusted off their epistolary skills, hand-writing letters to Iowa Democrats urging them to support the former Vermont governor. " I am not some wild-eyed radical or someone who usually gets this involved, but I really, really feel that I need to be a part of a grass-roots effort to put Howard Dean in the White House," Richard Lutz, a 52-year:o[d Silver Spring, Md.,linguist, wrote to Anna Houdek of Spillville, Iowa. " We must defeat George · Bush before even more damage is done to the America that I know and that I love." Many of the people behind '' people-powered Howard" came to Dean through his stance against the war, but they have stuck around for the rest of the message. For them, Howard Dean holds much the same attniction as Howard Beale: They are mad as hell. Their anger,-and as the Rockville event shows, you don't have to go too far outside Washington to tap into it-is aimed at Bush (they're angry after Florida, even angner after Iraq) and · at establishment Democrats for their perceived failure to stand up to the president. ' 'I'm blaming Bush for the fact that I'm working in a department store rather than domg something that uses my degree in business," said David Mayer-Somrner, a 23year-old Ithaca College graduate, The party establishment may s~ Dean .as a general election disaster in the making (motto: Dukakis 11--just when you thought it was safe to go back to a New England governor), but these folks are convinced that their support for Dean is no mere s~mbolic protest vote. " What I m lookmg for is who can beat Bush, really," said Joann Langston, 60, a Rockville lawyer. If the Rockville event is any guide, the meet-uppers skew in two demografhic directions: fresh out o college or heading toward 60; if not already past. (Of course, Dean supporters in between were probably stuck at home getting the kids to bed.) There was a smattering of anti-globalization protester types, a share of McGovern retreads. Nearly everyone was white. But one of the most striking things was the number of thot without a history in ele t~ politics--people such as angston, whose only previous political foray involved lobbying for more county dog ·parlq;, or John Monagle, 42, the kind of guy who watches New Hampshire hause parties on C-SPAN but had never before turned out for a candidate. Wednesday marked his fourth monthly Dean meetup. They reflect the ~me yearning for authenticit in politics that helped fuel hn McCain's candidacy and hobbled AI Gore's in 2000--and that this time around seems to be dragging down much of the Democratic field. "He's not afraid to be a Demoerat. He's not trying to hew to the center to please everybody and be Republican-lite," said Internet consultant Patricia Martin, 66. " Dean comes across as a real person," said Joe Corbett, 60, of Olney, Md. " He's taking a position, whereas the other guys are 'which way is the wind blowing?' " Much of that criticism is aimed at Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, particularly K~rry's pretzel-like--he would say nuanced--position on Iraq. Kerry was " trying to have it both ways," Monagle said. " His attitude is not ·sharp, it's a little too rounded, he doesn't deal with the issue head on." For opposition researchers of both parties, Dean is like a newly discovered gold mine whose gleaming potential has barely begun to be tapped. Flip-flops'! Try Dean's change of heart on the death penalty (con to . pro--sort of). Third rail? His support--albeit no longer; see fltp-flops, above-for raising the Social Security retirement age. Responsible governing? Amendmg the Constitution to require a balanced budget is .. not great public policy," but " we may have to have it anyway." Where political professionals spy fodder for attack ads, though , the meetup crowd sees welcome candor; where the professionals see sharp elbows and a quick tongue that could cause problems down the road, the meet- · uppers see stmight talk. " I · respect that he's not a hypocrite," said Mariam Gregorian, 23, a violinist. Dean's ability to pull in money through the Internet-he topped the Democratic field last quarter with more . than $7.5 million--cemented his plaee in the top tier,· but there are ripple effects yet to be felt . Because so much of . his take was in small dona- . tions, Dean stands to reap far more in federal matching funds (the federal govern- · ment matches the first $250 of any primary donation) than rivals who were more heavily reliant on big checks. And while candidates who collected much of their money in · increments--think · $2,000 North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and his trial lawyers--can't return to that well because those donors have " maxed out," Dean has a group that can keep on giv· ing. · Dean was such a long shot when he started campaigning for the Democratic nomination that his own mother told New York magazine that she " thought it was preposterous, · the silliest thing I'd ever heard." In Rockville, :.mid the peach salsa burritos and the cream-colored stationery, she might not have been quite so dismissive. ' WHAT'S AN ARABIC \\ORD FOR VIETIVAM? 'Speak Out!'

Obituaries The people powering Howard COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The 76-year-old woman, who had befriended a paraplegic neighbor chatted and laughed with one of his cousins inside her Cleveland duplex. on a January evening in 1983, By the time the cousin, Lewis Williams Jr., had left, prosec utors , . say Leoma Chmielewski was dead, her body beaten and ·blood seeping from the bullet hole in her head. When police arrived, they said they saw Chmiele:.vski's small poodle, Tinker, cower• ing in a corner. A trail of coins led out the front door from her overturned purse on the bedroom tloor. Empty bank envelopes, wet from snow, littered the sidewalk outside. Her wallet was gone. Two decades later, the 44year-old Williams was supposed to be put to death on June 24 for Chmielewski's murder. But . the Ohi_o Supreme Court delayed hts execution for the second time this year so a Cuyahoga County judge could deter" mine whether he was mentally retarded, which would make him ineligible for the death penalty. .. Judge Janet Burnstde rejected Williams' mental retardation claim, but the state cannot yet. go forward with the . executmri. Bumstde still hasn't ruled on · another request that Williams . has filed - in neatly h~ndwntten documents - askmg for a new trial. 'The claims he's making now aren't all that new.

That's what seems to be happening," said Stephen Ferre~l, the assistant state public defender who has represented Williams for nine years. ""'-."It's been a roller coaster for everybody," Ferrell said of the past 20 years. Dorothy Beverly, Chmielewski's stepdaughter, is furious that the case has dragged on this long. · "I'm just totally outraged that our state would allow something like this to go on for 20 112 years," she said, holding back tears after a LONG BOTTOM - Lucy B.

We are not opposed to trea\ing certain ai-Qaida prisoners as enemy combatants. The laws of war recognize that governments capture enemy fighters during wartime and keep them locked up--though the Geneva Conventions mandate procedures that the administration has unwisely failed to follow strictly. The dangers--both to national security and to civil liberties-of trying some al-Qaida suspeels in federal court are sufficient that some may have to be removed to military custody, as we have urged in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui. But there has to be some principle that guides these decisions--other than what move best serves the government's interests at any given moment. Otherwise the taw becomes a mere instrument of arbitrary state power, not. a predictable system of ordered. liberty. Among other dangers, the threat of designation as an " enemy .combatant"--and the consequent indefinite detenlion--can too easily become a club to threaten defendants ,who wi ll not plead guilty or cooperate. More broadly, there has to be some publicly defined process for handling enemy combatants, so that the status is not simply a legal black hole. In a conventional ·war, enemy fighters are held until the combatant states negotiate a peace, at' which point they . are repatriated. But this war : may never end, and if it does, : it will not be with a peace treaty between the United States and al-Qaida. The laws of war provide an incomplete framework for handling the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the administration is going to have to fill in the gaps. Yet even after being spurr~;:d on by <.-omplaints from allied governments, it has sent home only about 40 detainees, it has charged none before tribunals and it has not begun to specify what it will" do in the long run with those it does not charge but deems too dangerous to repatriate. President Bush last week designated Sill unnamed detainees as eligible for trial before tribunals, and this is a positive sign. But the administration needs to develop clear standards governing both the legal designation of detainees and what happens to those placed 'beyond the ·reach of conventional American law.

Chmielewski, described by family members as a very religious person who was always helping people , worked two and three jobs at a time to support her two sons and Beverly. Her paraplegic neighbor, Kevin Samuels, testified at Williams' trial. that he had helped out Chmielewski with chores before he was paralyzed in a shooting, arid she· returned the 'favor after he became confined to a wheelchair. "She did a lot of things that you wouldn't expect an elderly woman to do, like shoveled snow and stuff like that," Samuels testified. "She usually knew what was going on in that neighborhood. She was kind of like always hanging out." In court records, relatives describe Williams as a difficult child who was brought up in a broken home, began using cocaine and alcohol at age !3, and was a loner. His mother, Bonnie Williams, said in affidavits that Williams was "emotionall~ troubled since he · was a very small child." "Lewis Jr. was always doing something for attention and did nasty things to his brothers and sisters. Lewis was quieter than other children. I also felt Lewis was !litter and angry inside and felt he was never loved." By age 24, Williams had amassed a lengthy criminal record, and his mother said he was attracted to guns. She described him as "a walking time bomb" when released from prison on an armed robbery · charge seven months before he was accused of Chmielewski's death. During William s' trial, Samuels testified that he saw Williams •go into Chmi!!lewski 's house with her on tl\at January night, the door closing behind them. About 30 minutes later, Samuels said he returned from a brief hospital visit and noticed that Chmielewski's door was wide open, which he said was unusual. Samuels testified that he sent another cousin, Brent Nicholson, over to the duplex to check on Chmielewski, and called police after an agitated Nicholson reported that the woman was laying on the tloor of the house. Prosecutors used that testimony, a shoe print on Chmielewski's nightgown and a lead particle found on Williams' sleeve that was consistent with a gun being fired to link him to the crime. One of Williams' relatives. Navarro Brooks, testified at trial that Williams admitted to killing Chmielewski arid said he planned to beat the charge by "playing crazy." Williams initially pleaded innocent by reason of insani ty, but changed that plea latei. He was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to death. He claimed in a Nov. 17. 1987, affidavit to an appeals court that he never spoke with Brooks about the charges against him , and that hi s court-appointed atto rn eys during his tri al were ineffective. "I was suspicious of their intentions and never believed that they had my best interest s in mind," he wrote. Williams' family members !"iled several affidavits over the years statin g that his lawyers barely spoke with them. Because of his lack of tru st in lawyers, Williams often would circumvent public defenders assigned to his case by filing hi s own meticulou sly handwritten and typed appeals. "It's very important to Lewis that he keeps fightin g for himself. It keeps him optimistic," Ferrell said. Mo st recently, Williams asked Burnside to grant him a new trial, arguing that he has had poor legal representation that prevented him from presenting evidence that could clear' him. He told Burnside in court that: "I've been fighting against lawyers since the beginning of this circum, stances." Williams has declined all interview requests from the media. B umside has not yet decided whether to hold a hearing on : the appeal, but plans to apP.eint new lawyers for Wtlliams at hi s request.

The voluntary evacuation notice of the homes in Ventana Canyon came Sunday after strong winds pushed the fire downhill faster than expected, fire officials said. Some 300 homes have already been destroyed. The fire, which started June 17 and has burned at least 70,000 acres, skirted fire lines last week and burned six cabins between Friday night and early Saturday. The flames came about a half-mile from the nearest homes Sunday. Fire officials expressed confidence that the homes would be safe, at least partly because many are made of stone or brick. The area is a high desert enclave in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. It includes upscale homes and the 400-room Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, said George Heaney, a bureau chief with the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

A hotel spokeswoman didn't return a message seeking the number of guests on Sunday. Lines created by burnouts, clearing brush and thinning trees continued to hold Sunday around dozens of other homes and cabins, several youth camps, an observatory and communications towers operated by organizations including the Federal Aviation Administration. As the situation on top of the mountain looked better, the fire kept creeping down the mountatn face toward the foothills. Officials said they could snuff it with helicopter water .drops and backburns and th;.~t th1n desert vegetation in the foothills would make the fire easy · to fight if it approached homes.

Tracy, making his 200th career start in a CART race, took advantage of Bourdais' inexperience on the course and snatched the lead at the start with a smooth move. . Starting on the outside of the front row, Tracy took a wide angle into the first comer before dipping inside just as ·aourdais was finding his line into the curve. On the final lap, Bourdais took the proper angle and prevented Tracy from getting him again.

The Reds wasted a solid P«rformance by Paul Wilson, who pitched seven strong innings against his former team. The Mets' top pick in the 1994 amateur draft gave up four hits, including solo homers by Perez and .reromy Bumitz, oefore turning a 5-2 lead over to the bullpen. Todd Van Pop~! gave up an RBI single to Perez in the eighth and Wigginton tied it wtth his double off Williamson, who blew a save for the fourth time in 24 chances. "It's the midpoint of the season," Williamson said. "We've got to get going. We got some great pitching from Paul Wilson. You hate to see a loss after that." Adam Dunn and Sean Casey hit solo homers as the least added a small diversion to the inevitable. The winner of last year's PGA Championship opened the back nine with three birdies and an eagle in his first five holes to pull within five shots of Woods. Beem couldn't take advantage, of his last par-5, thollgh, endmg whatever slim chances he might have had of catching Woods. Jim Furyk, back in Chicago for the first time since winning the U.S. Qp<::n three weeks ago, finished seven shots behind Woods in a three-way tie for third. Mike Weir anil defending champion · Jerry Kelly also finished at 274. But, really, what chance did anyone have of catching Woods? This victory was almost a gimme even before he teed off. Of the 31 tournaments he's led after 54 holes, he's won all but two of them. Plus with a six-stroke cushion to start, all he had to do was play it safe, and the victory •not to mention the $8 10,000 Rafael Furcal, Andruw Jones, Paul Lo Duca, Mike Lowell, Richie Sexson, Jose Vidro and Preston Wilson. Kevin Brown, Shawn Chacon, Prior, Woody Williams and Jason Schmidt were elected as staning pitchers, and John Smoltz, Eric Gagne and Billy Wagner were elected as relievers. AL players elected reserves were Garret Anderson, Hank Blalock, Bret Boone, Nomar Garciaparra, Ramon Hernandez, Melvin Mora, Mike Sweeney and Wells. Esteban Loaiza, Roy Halladay, · Moyer~ Mark Mulder and Barry Lito were elected as AL starting_pitchers, and Brendan Donne1jy, Keith Foulke and Eddie Guardado were elected as relievers. • "I still don't believe I've been chosen," Moyer said. "It's because of a lot of hard work that -I've been able to be competitive at the age of 40 and beyond." Loaiza begal) the year a.s a no~-roster mvttee to spnng trammg. . "I'm gtill in shock," he said after his Chicago White Sox P.layed Tampa Bay.. "During ihe.game, I was telhng some of tlie !!,UY.S: 'I don't believe it. I don t believe it.'"

Perez staned the game with the Mets' first leacfoff homer of the season and his second overall. Bumitz hit his 17th homer in ihe third inning. Ken Griffey Jr. was out of the Reds lineup for the entire series. He was dizz)l on Saturday, the result of ilehydration) and was still feeling bad berore the final game. Griffey, in the founh year of a $116.5 million, nine-year contract, has missed 4 7 starts because of a dislocated shoulder, a sore groin, a sore hip, a virus and ilehydration. He's hitting .245 with eight paycheck - was his. He did better than tllat, though. The first II holes at Cog "Hill's Dubsdread course are as birdie friendly as an aviary, and Woods took advantage. He had five birdies and only one bogey through II , and needed JUSt 13 putts. Even with his closest rivals so far back they may as well have been on a different round, he didn't let up. He was clearly irked when he pushed his drive left and into deep !'ough off the par-4 No. 7. He sttll had a clear shot at the green, though, and he made a oeautiful recovery, !JUtting the ball pin-high on the edge of the green, about 18 feet from the hole. The ball curled around the edge of the cup and finally dropped in, drawing a !ist pump from Woods anil cheers !rom the crowd. He wore a wide grin as he turned around to acknowledge the crowd. He added another birdie on the eighth hole . About I 0 feet homers and 20 RBis. Dunn led off the second with his 24th homer, only his second RBI in the last 17 games. Thirty-eight of Dunn's 47 RBis have come off homers. Notes: .Perez also hit ;,a leadoff homer June 20 last season off Montreal's Javier Vazquez ....

He had surgery to repair a tom labrum last Sept. 18, and has been on the dtsabled list since the Reds got him from Los Angeles in ihe win1er meeting draft. from the pin, he curved the ball up and around toward the hole. It looked as if it wouldn't break enough to drop, and Woods leaned forward on one le_g, as if willing the ball togo m. It did, getting him to 22 under. Another birdie on the lOth got him to 23 under, I0 strokes ahead of Beem and Roben Allenby, one of his playing Jlanners. Then the rain came. There were two delays totaling more than three hours, and interruptions seemed to disrupt Woods' rhythm. He made pars on his first two holes, then struggled on the par-3 14th. With aoout six inc~es for par. his putt skirted the edge of the hole and he had to settle for bogey - his first since the founh hole. After the second delay, his 12-foot birdie putt on the 15th skidded along the hole but ran long, forcmp, him to settle for par. As the ball passed the liole, Woods' body sagged in disbelief.

"It's been a long road," Reyna said. "Everytliing went well. it was the first of many more steps to keep improving and gelling better. For a first game, it was great." Reyna, wl10 last year became the first Amencan selected Jor the World Cup All-Star team, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Oct. 26 while playing for Sunderland in England's Premier League. He received a standing ovation when he replaced Bobby Convey in the 6lst minute, his first appearance for the national team since the World Cup quarterfinal loss to Germany on June 21 last year. "It was nice to get out there. Once I was able to run the field, I got a nice reception ," Reyna said. "It put me at ease and calmed me down a bit" Reyna played as an attacking midfielder - his presence was missed in France last month when the Americans went 0-2-1 and were eliminated in the first round of the Confederations Cug. · ' Getting Reyna back on the fielcf was big," said coach Bruce Arena, who welcomed back several veterans. "I told the team after the game we were much better - how we played for each other - today than in any of the three ,games we played in France.' Goalkeeper Kasey Keller also returned after a long absence. Keller, the starter for the Americans at ·the 1998 World Cup and the backup to Brad Friedel at last year's tournament, had not played for the national team since a 2-0 exhibition loss to the Netherlands on May 19 last year. He improved to 15-0-4 in internattonal play since 1998. "I treated this as preseason," said Keller, who starts for Tottenham Hotspur in London. "The guys played very well in front of me. I was happy with their performance. It was a pleasure to play out there today." .

In the past, the village has · given leak credit f.or those· water bills caused by broken pipes but this has led to problems of fairness. Due lo Circumstances related to the,prob- !em, some people may have received more leak credit than others. Leak credit is no longer available. "We could no longer find an equitable way of helping people on leak credits," said John Anderson, village administrator. · Pomeroy water customers have had the opportunity to purchase leak insurance to help cover the cost of a leak since July of 2002. The customer is required to notify the water department when a leak is discovered and when repairs are completed. This would ensure that the correct time fnune is being used to calculate the loss. The customer would pay their average usage, which is based on the last 14 months, and the balance of the bill would be paid by leak insurance. · The $25 fee is due by July I 0 of each year. The insurance runs one year from July 10 to July 10 next year. Leak insurance will pay up to $300 maximum per year, per customer. After the maximum is reached, the customer would be responsible for any addi- tiona! costs for the remainder of the year. Anderson said without any leak credits to eliminate costly water bills, ·property owners would be more motivated to make repairs to water pipes. The fund cannot be used for filling swimming pools or other uses not considered leaks. Anderson said seveml peopie have purchased the insurance which has saved them "from a lot of nasty water bills." While any Pomeroy water customer can purchase the insurance, the ones that would most likely benefit are people with older homes. Anderson said these people are . more at risk than anyone living in newer homes because their water pipes are older and more inclined to breaking. People that have long water pipes extending from the street to their homes may also benefit from leak insumnce. "We feel it is very helpful," said Anderson.

(J. Miles Layton) Volunteers make difference through community service. BY J,. MILES LAYTON Staff writer POMEROY- People serve humanity in their own unique ways and volunteering to help the needy is paying homage to God, said the Rev. Bob Robinson of Middleport who spent last week with a work group from Kettering . Six teenagers and two adults from the Church of the Cross United Methodist Church in Kettering came to Meigs County to volunteer afew days of thetr summer to making the world a better place for the less fortunate. The group is part of the Jackson Area Ministries, directed by the Rev. Bob Davis. The organization seeks to connect volunteer groups statewide to the places where they are needed most. "It is really important to help people because it is what God wants you to do," said Bethany Spieth, a 12-year-old who has never been to Meigs County before. "Maybe He wants us to help other people because some people are not well off and by helping them, we do God's wilL" During,their four day visit in Meigs County, the group of young people repaired a garage, stuffed potatoes in bags for the less fortunate, and entertained the congregation at Forest Run United Methodist Church. The volunteers did ·yard work, cleaned gutters and did several other household things for Myron Duflield, 71 , who is recovering from open heart surgery. Duffield said he is not allowed to lift more than five pounds and would not have been much good finishing the necessary projects he started before his surgery. "There's not enough words to describe how much good these kids have done," he said. "They did a fantastic job. They were really a great help to me." Later the young group of "apprentice" carpenters picked up hammers, nails and shingles for the first time to repair the garage roof at the Pome,roy United Methodist parsonage. Robinson said the money saved by repairing the garage roof tor the church can now be use<) to serve the community through other church projects. Chri sti Salchak, 40, is a youth counselor with the group. Her 12-year-old daughter, Carrie, is volunteeri~g for the first time away from home. The two enjoy spending time with each other and Salchak said this will be a learning experience for her daughter. ."As a mom, my kids live a really blessed life,'.' she said. "It's nice for them to have a chance to help out somebody, but one of my focuses is teaching my children about people. I want my kids 10 meet other peapie and I wanl them to know about other people's circumstances and that we always share common ground. Service . isn't just what they are learning ' through work, ·but through t1u: people."· Salchak said the young peapie are learning more than just how to hammer a nail <1r replace roof shingles. "They are learning to love people for who they are, as they are, and where they are," she said. "No matler what situation God plops you in, we all have something in common that we can share." Michael Wbittaker, 13, said Meigs County is a lot different from Kettering. He said he feels a lot safer in Pomeroy than he does in his hometown. Whittaker, the son ofa preacher, said everyone seems to know everyone else in Pomeroy. He enjoys lhe han! work involved with nailing on shingles or cleaning rain gutters . "'Work doesn't have to be · hard, it can be fun," he said. AHention· Cancer Survivors! ~ -- -- CC: II. \JEN.1f\i L.NC.
