Although it could ' ve been "Authority," my memory is a bit Andrew Carter fuzzy. Anyway. local business leaders like iack Fruth, Charles Lanham an~ Gerry Gust were just a few of the names that I remember being associated with that group. They were committed to promoting economic development. They had good ideas. Unfortunately, the group dissolved after a few years. Since that time. business leaders in each of our three counties have worked hard in the hope Of attracting business and industry to the tricounty area. There has been some lim!ted collaboration between development leaders, but as we move forward into this second decade of the 21st Century, we still find our three counties, collectively and individually. struggling. Maybe it's time to revive the idea of a regional economic development entity. pool our resources to attract business and industry and form business partnerships with other counties. A new business that creates jobs in any one of · our three counties is good for all of our counties. . Bottom line: Our people need jobs - badly. We need to put aside any provincialism that would prevent companies from coming in and bringing new jobs with them. There is a light on the horizon with American Municipal Power's plan to locate a gas-fired power plant in Meigs County. The company stated'in September that it hopes to have the plant operational by 2014. That project is expected to generate about 500 jobs related to the construction of the plant and 30 permanent jobs once it's completed. That's a good start. to be sure. and kudos to the Meigs County economic development team for its work. Hopefully. the AMP plant project will be the jump-start for significant development in our area that will lead to the creation of jobs that pay a good wage.

Senate passes aid package for 9/11 responders WASHINGTON (AP) - After a last-minute compromise, the Senate passed legislation Wednesday to provide up to $4.2 billion in new aid to survivors of the September 2001 terrorism attack on the World Trade Center and responders who became ill working in its ruins. A House vote was expected on the bill within hours as lawmakers raced to wrap up their work for the year before Christmas. President Obama has said he looks forward to signing the measure, though some supporters of the bill have cnticized him for not getting more involved in the fight. The measure was a product of a compromise involving Democratic Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. "The Christmas miracle we've been looking for has arrived," Schumer and Gillibrand said in a joint statement. The 9/11 legislation provides money for monitoring and treating illnesses related to Ground Zero and reopens a victims' compensation fund for another five years to cover wage and other economic losses of sickened workers and nearby residents. Schumer and Gillibrand had sought $6.2 billion and keeping the compensation fund open for I 0 years. "Every American recognizes the heroism of the 9/11 first responders, but it is not compassionate to help one group while robbing future generation of opportunity," said Coburn, who led a GOP blockade against the bill. ''This agreement strikes a fair balance." The bill gained momentum with help from cable TV personaHties. Among the biggest champions of the package were Fox News anchor Shepard Smith and comedian and activist Jon Stewart, who championed the bill and lashed its GOP foes on his Comedy Central TV program "The Daily Show." New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised Congress for finally hammering out a bill. "As we look forward to the 1Oth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I am encouraged that our elected representatives in Washington came together and stood by those who were there for America in its hour of greatest need," Bloomberg said. The compromise was reached after Democrats scheduled a showdown test vote for Wednesday afternoon and Republicans countered by threatening to run a 30hour clock before allowlog final Senate and House votes on the bill. That would have required keeping both the Senate and House in session for votes on Christmas Eve. Backers worried that the bill would face a much tougher fight in the new, more fiscally conservative Congress where Republicans will have a stronger hand. . "Any single senator can hold this up way past Christmas and we know that can kill the bill," Schumer said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program Wednesday. Nearly 16,000 responders and 2,700 people living near ground zero are currently sick and receiving treatment, supporters of the bill said. More than 40,000 responders are in medical monitoring, backers said. The bill would be paid for with a fee on some foreign flmls that get U.S. government procurement contracts. The bill also calls for extending fees on certain ftrms that rely on H-1B and L-1 visas. Researchers have found that people exposed to the thick clouds of pulverized building materials at the trade center site have high rates of asthma and sinus problems. Many firefighters also suffered a reduction in lung power. • Ohio's Center of Excellence in Joint Replacement MCrry Christmas & Many Thanks!

"We have to be realistic," Bennett said. ··can we really take the Democrats down to three seats in Ohio·~" It might mak.e more sense, he said, to eliminate· one Democratic and one Republican district while also shoring up GOP-held districts that are typically tossups. "My fear is that we try to do too much:· Bennett said. "If we do it right. we can minimize those future loss- es." The Census Bureau will release population and race breakdowns early next year so that states can begin redrawing congressional boundaries. Among the Otiio Democrats in Congress who could face losing their districts are Cleveland's Dennis Kucinich and Betty Sutton, who represents suburban Cleveland and the Akron area. Both are in areas that have lost population or had slow growth in the last decade. Merry Christmas ".... "J "•'. ::.. ., ..

Obama signs 'don't ask, ·don't tell' repeal BY PAULINE JELINEK ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON President Barack Obama signed a landmark law Wednesday repealing the ban on gay men and women serving openly in the military, fulfilling one of his major campaign pledges and casting the issue as a matter of civil rights long denied. ''No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie, or look over their shoulder in order to serve the country that they love," Obarna said. A beaming Obama signed the bill at the Interior Department. a location chosen to accommodate a larger than normal audience that cheered, chanted and applauded throughout the ceremony. "This is a good day,'' Obama told the crowd. ·'This is a very good day." The new law ends the 17-year-old "don't ask. don't tell" policy that forced gays to hide their sexual orientation or face dismissal. More than 13,500 people were discharged under the policy. Its repeal comes as the American public has become more toler- ant on such issues as gay marriage and gay rights in geneFal. "I say to all Americans, gay or straight. who want nothing more than to defend this country in uniform, your country needs you, your <.:ountry wants you, and we will be honored to welcome you into the ranks of the finest military the world has ever known," Obarna said. Pentagon officials must first complete implernen~ation plans before lifting the old policy - and the president, defense secretary and chairman of the joint chiefs must certify to lawmakers that it won't damage combat readiness., as critics charge. Opponents of the repeal also had said it would harm unit cohesion; could prompt some to leave the services or not to sign up in the first place; and be a distraction at a time when the armed forces are fighting two wars all issues the Pentagon ts treading carefully as it tries to come up with an implementation plan. But Obama said: "We are not going to be dragging .our feet to get this done." The signing ceremony was a breakthrough moment for the nation's gay community, the military and for Obarna himself. The president vowed during his 2008 campaign to repeal the law and faced pressure from liberals who complained he was not acting swiftly enough. For Obarna. it was the second high-profile bill signing ceremony within a week. Oq. Friday, he signed into a law a tax package he negotiated with Republicans that extended Bush-era tax rates for two more years, cut payroll taxes and ensured jobless benefits to the unemployed for another year. The two events. however, could not have been more different in tone. The tax deal divided Democrats and forced Obarna to accept extensions of tax cuts for the wealthiest, a step he had promised to not take. With Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell at his side during that bill signing. Obama seemed dutiful and subdued. By contrast, the emotion of Wednesday's ceremony defined it: even the president himself said he was "overwhelmed'' by the moment. The gay S. Korea holds massive neW drills after North attack SEOUL South Korea (AP) - South Korea vowed Wednesday to "completely punish" North Korea if it attacks again. and mobilized hundreds of troops. tanks and helicopters for a massive military exer!..tse prompted by high tensions on the peninsula. The firing drills planned for Thursday near the Koreas' heavily armed land border signaled that South Korea is willing to risk further escalating tensions with North Korea, which shelled a southern island off the western coast on Nov. 23 and stirred up a war-like atmosphere. The attack. which killed four people, was portrayed by Pyongyang as a retaliation for southern military exercises on Yeonpyeong island that day. South Korea has conducted 47 similar military drills this year, and it scheduled one more exercise for Thursday in response to the North Korean attack, an army officer said on condition of anonymity citing department . rules. Thursday's drill will be the biggest-ever wintertime joint firing exercise that South Korea's army and air force have staged, an army statement said. "We will completely punish the enemy if it provokes us again like the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island,'' Brig. Gen. Ju Eun-sik, chief of the army's 1st armored brigade, said separately. South Korean forces are on high alert even though the North backed down from its threat to again retaliate over a separate firing drill the South held Monday on Yeonpyeong in disputed western waters. The two Koreas remain technically at war since their 1950s conflict ended in a cease-fire. not a peace treaty. The past month's military tension, however. has been. the worst in several years. The North has made conciliatory remarks in recent days - telling a visiting U.S. governor it might allo~ internatio_nal insRect1on:s of 1ts nuclear programs - but Seoul is mindful of past surprise attacks and still is bracing for possible aggression. South Korea's navy also began annual fourday firing and anti-subexercises marine Wednesday off the country's eastern coast. That area has been less tense recently but in the past, the North has used eastern waters as a submarine route for communist agents to infiltrate South Korea. The Koreas' recent military skirmishes, including last month's artillery bombardment, have been in the tense western waters, where Pyongyang does not recognize the U.N.-drawn border. Thursday's air force and army drills will involve 800 troops. FISK and KF-16 jet fighters, K-1 tanks. AH-lS attack helicopters and K9 self-propelled guns. They will take place in Pocheon, about 30 miles (45 kilometers) north of Seoul and about 21 miles (33 kilometers) south of the North Korean border. Seoul has relocated more artillery on Yeonpyeong island following last month's shelling and plans to deploy Israeli-made Spike missiles there soon, Yonhap news agency reported, Citing an unidentified military official. The Jomt Chiefs of Staff declined to <.:onfirm the report. . North Korea, meanwhile, indicated to visiting New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that it was prepared to consider ways to work with the South on restoring security along the border. Richardson praised Pyongyang for refrain- ing from retaliation and said his visit to the North provided an opening for a resumption of negotiations aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear program.

He's been heckled at campaign appearances over AIDS funding and the failure to end the military service ban. Obama countered that as commander in chief, he had to ensure the ban's end is carefully prepared for. That's just what the bill from Congress mandates. "The implementation and certification process will not happen immediately; it will take time,'' Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz warned in an e-mail that went out right after Saturday's Senate vote. ''Meanwhile, the current law remains m effect. All Air Force members should conduct thet selves accordingly."

Born 17 years ago as a compromise between President Bill Clinton and a resistant Pentagon, the ''don't ask, don't tell" policy became for gay rights campaigners a notorious roadblock on the way to full acceptance. 1~~ N 2nd Avenue Middleport.

Thirteen Republicans broke with their top two leaders and joined 56 Democrats and two independents in providing the necessary nvo-thirds vote to approve the treaty. The vote was 71-26, with Sen. Ron Wyden. D-Ore.. showing up just two days after cancer surgery. The accord, which still must be approved by Russia. would restart onsite weapons inspections as successors to President Ronald Reagan have embraced his edict of "trust, qut verify." Russian ign Minister Sergey rov said Moscow wel• ed the vote but still needed to study the accompanying Senate resolution. Vice President Joe Biden presided over the Senate , and announced the vote. Secretary of State Hillary Rodharn Clinton observed the vote from the Senate floor. Both former senators had lobbied furiously for the treaty's approval. ''The question is whether we move the world a little out of the dark shadow of nuclear nightmare," Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry said to his colleagues moments before the historic tally. Kerry. D-Mass., said the vote was appropriate "in a season that celebrates and summons us to the ideal of peace on earth." Calling the treaty a nationa'!. security imperative, Obarna had pressed fur its approval before a new, more Republican Congress assumes power in January. In recent days, he had telephoned a handful of wavering Republicans, eventually locking in their votes The Obama admimstration has argued that the United States must show credibility in its improved relations with its former Cold War foe, and the treaty was critical to any rapprochement. The White House is counting on Russia to help pressure Iran over its nuclear ambitions. "A responsible partnership between the world's two largest nuclear powers that limits our nuclear arsenals while maintaining strategic stability is imperative to promoting global security," Clinton said in a statement applauding the vote. The New START treaty. signed by Obama and Russian President Dmitry · Medvedev in April, would limit each country's strategic nuclear warheads to 1.550. down from the current ceiling of 2,200. It also would establish a system for monitoring and verification. U.S. weapons inspections ended last year with the expiration of a 1991 treaty. "START" stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Obama overcame the opposition the Senate's top two Republicans Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, the GOP point man on the treaty. Peeved by the Democrats· interruption of the eight days of treaty debate for other legislation, McConnell accused the White House of politicizing the process. McConnell said national security was the main concern, "not some politician's desire to declare a political victory and hold a press conference before the first of the year." The ratification was a turnaround for a treaty whose fate was uncertain just a month ago. Conservatives railed that .the pact would limit U.S. options on missile defense, lacked sufficient procedures to verify Russia's adherence and deserved more time for consideration than the abbreviated postelection session. Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, who won Obarna's Senate seat, dismissed the treaty for imposing "marginal reductions in the Russian ru::.enal'' The fierce opposition diminished quickly as former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, six former Republican secretaries of state and much of the nation's military and foreign policy experts called for the treaty's ratification. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of State Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen pressed for approval, with Mullen simply telling senators earlier this week, "the sooner, the better." Weeks after Republicans routed Democrats at the polls seizing control of the House and strengthening their numbers in the Senate - Obarna has prevailed in securing overwhelming bipartisan approval of a tax deal with Republicans, getting repeal of the 17 -year-old ban on openly gay military members and winning approval of the treaty. The treaty capped a hefty yearlong record of legislation for the Democratic-controlled Congress and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. - a massive overhaul of the nealth care system, new financial regulations and a food safety bill as well as the postelection measures. The treaty vote exposed divisions within the Republican Party that could stretch into the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Obama got the treaty with the help of several GOP Senate moderates who split with possible White House hopefuls. some of the fiercest critics of the accord. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney opposed the pact; Sen. Scott Brown. R-Mass., who faces re-election in 2012, voted for it. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said the treaty was not in the country's interest; Sen. Lisa Murkowski. RAlaska, backed it. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described it as an ·'obsolete approach that's a holdover from the Cold War;·· Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., !;upported it.

Va. (AP) Level Coppage burst through the line, saw all in front of him and he could turn his third-and-6 carry a championship. That's not all he was· thinking. "Am I going fast, one? Two, should I zig-zag? And three. is anybody behind me?'' Coppage said after sealing Wisconsin-Whitewater's third NCAA Division III national championship in four years with a 75yard touchdown run Saturday in the Warhawks' 31-21 victory over Mount Union. Coppage ran for 299 yards, an Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl record. and three touchdowns and Wisconsin-Whitewater forced five turnovers and shut out Mount Union in the second half. The Warhawks completed their second Atraight 15-0 season. W'mproved to 57-3 in Lance Leipold's four years as coach and have supplanted the Purple Raiders as D-Ill kings. "It's unreal," said senior defensive back Matt McCulloch, who had two of the Warhawks' four interceptions in the game and a team-best eight tackles. "I'm happy for the seniors. We deserve it. You can't even describe how it feels. It's unreal. It's awesome." Coppage, the game's most outstanding player for the second year in a row, made it look easy at times. He scored on runs of 54, 11 and 75 yards, the latter with 2:34 to play. "As the game went on, Rally fromPageBl four points. Kitchen had I0 rebounds to lead Wahama, followed by Isaac Lee and Gibbs with six each. Arnold had seven assists and Ryan Lee had four. Tyler Allen led Buffalo with 22 points, Alex Ferrari had 17 points, Levi Jordan scored 12 points. Jared Taylor added eight. Caleb Dunn had three, Cameron Jones had two, and Jarrett Smith had one. Wahama will host they were really condensing the holes," he said, a champions cap perched on his head. He said the Purple Raiders· strategy caused him to start running outside, Like on his 11-yard TO. "After I did that. the inside started opening up for me." The Purple Raiders came in with the nation's top defense, allowing less than 200 yards per game, and with every intention of slowing down the 5-foot-8, 170pound tailback. "He's a patient runner and he'll wait until he sees a gap in the defense," Mount Union coach Larry Kehres. whose team lost for the fourth time in 14 Stagg Bowls, said. "He can start and accelerate so tremendously in the first 5, 6 yards, and then 'POOF!' he's gone." · Coppage carried 39 times and went over 2,000 yards for the season with 25 TDs. The Purple Raiders ( 14-1) did all their scoring in less than 4 minutes in the second quarter, with the help of two turnovers, but otherwise couldn't solve the Warhawks' defense. "They're kind of ticking me off," Kehres said of the Warhawks, with a wink, "and I might have to kick myself in gear a little bit to get ready to win three out of the next four.'' The teams set a record by each appearing in the championship game for the sixth consecutive season. They had shared the mark with fellow Division III member Augustana College (Ill.), which played in five straight 1982 to 1986. winning the last four games. After a high scoring first half, the defense tightened in the second half With both teams using backup quarterbacks because of injuries, three series ended on interceptions in the third quarter, and when Mount Union put quarterback-turnedreceiver Cecil Shorts behind center for more mobility in the fourth quarter, he fumbled the ball away on one possession and got sacked for a 9-yard loss by Luke Hibner on another key play. The latter came sh01tly before Coppage's long touchdown run sealed it. The first half was completely different. Coppage gave the Warhawks the lead when he broke through the line and outran three defenders to the end zone from 54 yards away. After a 25-yard punt by Brandon Mathie went out of bounds at the Purple Raiders 28 late in the first quarter, the Warhawks drove to the Mount Umon 13, and Eric Kindler's 30-yard goal gave field Whitewater a 10-0 advantage. Three touchdowns in less than 4 minutes gave Mount Union the lead. "We were excited when we scored the 21 points. and how fast we did it," said backup quarterback Matt Piloto, who started because of an mJury to Neal Seaman last week. "But we knew that we were going to have to keep on going because they have South Gallia on Thursday in a TVC Hocking contest at 6 p.m. 13, Matt Arnold 8 6·10 23. Trenton Gibbs 1 1·4 4.

Coppage was stripped of the ball by Nick Driskill and Charles Diesuel recovered for Mount Union at the Warhawks 40. On the second play, after a !yard run by Jeremy Murray, Piloto hit Kyle Miller for a 39-yard touchdown play down the right sideline. Whitewater's backup quarterback Lee Brekki. who played throughout the playoffs after starter Matt Blanchard was hurt in the regular-season finale, then threw right to lineman Lambert Budzinski, and he returned it to the Warhawks 4. Two plays later, Murray took it in from the 1, his 21st touchdown, and Mount Union had its first lead of the game at 14-13. The Purple Raiders made it 21-10 after a three-and-out for the Warhawks when Piloto found Shorts behind the secondary and hit him in stride. a 58-yard connection 6:50 before halftime. But the Warhawks responded, going 65 yards on their ensuing possession. Coppage went wide around the left side and lunged for the touchdown from 11 yards out with 2:46 to play. They got the ball back with 1:56 to play, and a 30-yard pass from Brekki to Adam Brandes highlighted a seven-play drive to Brekke's 31yard TO pass to Tyler Huber on third-and-9.
