Joseph Cedar Point boat show begins today "I'd say this is right up there with our Cleveland show," he said. "It's one of our better shows for It gives visitors a chance to look for a few fall price breaks as well as check out the 2004 models coming out, he added. Their stock varied from some used boats priced from $16,000 to some newer lines, including the new 2004 Rinker 390 model, which runs about $300,000. John McCarthy, vice president of Lakeside Marine, agreed that people will be noticing some of the new vessels available. "It's positive, we've had a strong year with a lot of interest in the products, and now there are new products in 2004 creating interest," he said as he, too, orchestrated his crew.

Marinas from all over northern Ohio and southern Michigan were busily preparing for today's opening at noon, scrubbing the outsides of boats, vacuuming floors and polishing windows. "We started last Thursday and we'll be done (today) at noon," said Harman, who added the outdoor shows tend to be more preparation because of the elements. "Obviously they don't stay very clean very long it takes a lot more to set them up." For McCarthy, however, there is one thing that makes it a bit easier than, say, the Cleveland show at the I-X Center. "It's much easier in the water, they naturally float better than they go down the road," he said. For Laura Roth of Vermilion, though, they're all the same she's a contractor who decorates the boats for FreemanEckley yacht sales in Vermilion.

The dealership had three Mainship powerboats and eight sailboats at the show that required decorating with flowers, rugs and greenery all of which was scattered about the dock Tuesday while Roth worked. "It's a huge production, a lot goes into it," she said with excitement. "It takes a full week to put together a boat show." Demand grows for regional transmission monitors Associated Press WASHINGTON Congress is under pressure to create regional groups to enforce quality standards and monitor electric transmission lines as lawmakers work to prevent another massive electricity blackout like the one last month that darkened homes from Ohio to New York. Deputy Energy Secretary Kyle McSlarrow was set to testify Wednesday before the first Senate hearing into the Aug. 14 blackout.

He wasn't expected to pinpoint the cause of the outage, which also hit parts of Canada. The U.S.-Canada task force investigation is still in the beginning stage of its inquiry. Pat Wood, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and several existing transmission monitoring groups were to call on lawmakers to establish a system of mandatory reliability rules that would be enforced by the regional groups. "Such entities would improve reliability because they have a broader perspective on electrioperations than individual utilities," Wood said in testimony prepared for the Senate Governmental Affairs' oversight of government management subcommittee. Supporters say since regional transmission organizations, called RTOs, don't own power generation and transmission, they would be independent of Continued from Al Source: Edward Jones 40! 40! 40! 40! 40!

Officials from two regional transmission monitors, the Midwest Independent System Operator and PJM Interconnection, told congressional investigators that agreements to share data, such as one they reached just before the blackout that has not yet been approved, would improve reliability.

"All the regional entities involved have an appreciation today that communication between reliability coordinators and other entities has to be raised to a higher level than has been required or practiced in the James Torgerson, president of Midwest ISO, said in prepared remarks. Craig Glazer, vice president of PJM, and William Museler, president of New York ISO, were to testify in favor of having all utilities join regional transmission monitoring groups such as theirs. Currently, the decision to create such regional groups to monitor the grid is voluntary and rests with state utility commissions. Alan Schriber, who is chairman of the Public Utility Commission of Ohio, was to testify in favor of the plan while James Kerr, commissioner of the North Carolina Utilities Commission, planned to tell lawmakers that such regional groups "are certainly not the answer." Opponents say the formation of such groups won't add additional transmission capacity but will cost millions to implement. Kerr has said such monitors aren't needed in the south, which escaped the recent blackout and enjoys rates that are among the lowest in the country.
