RACINE -The Racine
skatepark is officially under
construction this week after
council recently awarded
the bid to Skatopia owner
Brewce Martin.
Martin's company, CIA
LLC, was the sole bidder on
the project at $45,000 for a
concrete park as opposed to
a prefabncated park.
The bid was first reviewed
by council and the village
solicitor before the project
moved forward into an official contract with major dirt
work being done this week.
Work crews were hoping to ·
get started on placing special French drains at the
piuk this week to help
accommodate the park's
lpcation in the flood plain.
Martin's work experience
includes building custom
skating ramps of both wood
and concrete at his facility,
Skatopia, outside of Rutland,
and most recently working
·for the contractor who built·
the Athens skatepark.
Martin hopes to pour con&lt;;rete by Nov. I and ha11e the
park done by election day,
weather permitting.
When speaking to council
Martin sa1d his primary goal
would be to create a park
that was small enough for
kids to learn but versatile
enough for older kids to
develop their skills. Martin
himself has skated .the pro
circuit and Skatopia has
drawn high-profile visitors
such as MTV's Bam
Marjera and pro-skater
champion Tony Hawk.

that ended the Korean War.
The pledge came a day after
the North made its firmest
commitment yet to nuclear
· disarmament.
North Korean leader Kim
Jong ll and South Korean
President Roh Moo-hyun
also promised to boost economic ties -opening regular cargo railway service
along restored tracks crossing their heavily armed border and creating a joint fish ing zone on their disputed
sea frontier.
The two leaders signed the
wide-ranging
agreement
promising cooperation for
peace after three days of summit meetings in Pyongyang,
the second such meeting
between the countries.
Under a separate multina"
lion agreement reached in
February, Pyongyang was
required to shut down and
seal its sole operating reac tor at its main nuclear complex, which it did in July
after the U.S. reversed ,its
hard-line policy against the
regime. The second phase
required it to disable the
reactor and provide a full
descr:iption of all its nuclear
program s.
Wednesday's
agreement at talks in Chma
called for that to happen by
the end of the year. ·
The North said it would

allow the U.S. to lead a group
of ex.perts to Pyongyang
within two weeks "to prepare
for disablement" of its
nuclear facilities, Chinese
Vice Foreign Minister Wu
Dawei said in Beijing. The
U.S. wants the dismantling
process to be so thorough that
a nuclear facility could not be
made operational 'for at least
12 months.
President Bush hailed the
nuclear deal and said it
reflected the "common
commitment" of the talks to
· shut down North Korea's
atomic weapons program.
But the - United States was
secretive about what it
promised in return. ·
The U.S. has agreed to
lead disablement activities
and provide the initial fund ing for them. Washington
also reiterated its willingness to remove North Korea
from a list of countries that
sponsor terrorism, a key
demand of Pyongyang.
No timetable was set for
thi s action, but a joint statement said it will happen "in
parallel with" the North
Korean government following through on its commitment.
"The two sides will
increase bilateral exchanges
and enhance mutual trust,"
the statement says.
·
Besides the U.S. and
China, three other countries
- Russia, South Korea and
Japan..,_ participated in the .
talks with the North.
The five countries reiterated a commitment t.o deliver aid under the February
disarmament deal granting
the North the equivalent of
I million tons of fuel oil. On
Friday, in anticipation of the
new agreement, the United
States also announced it
would spend up to $25 million to pay for 50,000 tons
of heavy fuel oil for North
Korea.

Dear Annie: I've been in
a long-di stance rel ationship
for a few months. I love
being with " Duke ," but
when he's back in his hometown, my mind goes crazy. I
think about the worst possible situation and worry
myself sick. I have this trust
issue, and it drives me nuts.
My suspicions started
when I found out Duke had
a MySpace page but never
told me about it. He shares
a lot with me, so that
seemed strange. He finally
let me see it, and I realized
he has pictures of himself
with his ex still posted
there, and he states that hi s
status rs "single."
I understand that he and
his ex are still friends, and
that doesn't bother me, but
he told me once that he 'd
like to forget about her. So
why does he keep the pictures up? He also has told
me that his ex calls him
every so often.
I don't want him to think
he has to hide stuff from
me. Am I just over-thinking
the whole situation? Should

· Dear Stressed: If your
instincts are telling you that
Duke is hiding things, he
probably is. It 's possible
Duke hadn't updated his
MySpace page and knew
you'd be upset to see the
pictures of the ex, so he
postponed showing them to
you. Has he since removed
them and changed his status? If not, he is giving you
information about his level
of commitment - and you
may indeed have something
to worry about.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Thursday, Oct. 4, the 277th day of 2007. There
are 88 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
Fifty years ago, on Oct. 4, 1957, the Space Age began as
the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, the first 'artificial
satellite, into orbit.
On this date:
In 1777, George Washington's troops launched an assault
on the British at ·Germantown, Pa., resulting in heavy
American casualties.
. In 1822, the 19th president of the United States,
Rutherford B. Hayes, was born in Delaware, Ohio..
In 1940, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini conferred at
Brenner Pass in the Alps, where the Nazi leader sought
Italy's help in fighting. the British.
In 1957, Jimmy Hoff11 was elected president of the
Teamsters Union.
In 1957, the situation comedy "Leave It to Beaver'' pre·
miered on CBS-TV.
In 1965, Pope Paul VI became the frrst pope to visit the
Western Hemisphere as he addressed the U.N. General
Assembly.
In 1970, rock singer Janis Joplin, 27, was found dead in
her Hollywood hotel room.
In 1976, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz resigned in the
wake of a controversy over a joke he'd made about blacks.
In 1978, a funeral mass was held at the Vatican for Pope
John Paull.
In 1980, some 520 people were forced to abandon the
cruise ship Prinsendarn in the Gulf of Alaska after the
Dutch luxury liner caught flre; no deaths or serious injury
resulted.
'
Ten years ago: Hundreds of thousands of men attended a
Promise Keepers rally on the mall in Washington, D.C.
Five years ago: John Walker Lindh, the so-called
"American Taliban," received a 20-year sentence after a
' sobbing, halting plea for forgiveness before a federal judge
in Alexandria, Va. In a federal court in Boston, Richard
Reid pleaded guilty with a laugh to trying to blow up a
trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes as
he declared his hatred for America and his loyalty to Osarna
bin Laden.
One year ago: Ousted Hewlett-Packard Chairwoman
Patricia Dunn, a company officer and three investigators
were charged with violating California privacy laws in a
corporate spying scandal. (The charges were later dropped,
with a judge calling their conduct a "betrayal of trust and
honor'' that nonetheless did not rise to the level of criminal
activity.) American Roger D. Kornberg won the Nobel
Prize in chemistry. New York Times correspondent R.W.
· Apple Jr. died in Washington at age 71.
Thought for Today: "Trying to determine what is going
on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell
the time by watching the second hand of a clock." - Ben
Hecht, American screenwriter (1894-1964).

"However, even if you are

GALLIPOLIS - With
Halloween
quickly
approaching parents will
begin thinking about safety issues including properly fitting masks, contents
of candy and now lead
content.
Dr. Jeff Weidenhamer, a ·
professor
at
Ashland
University recently pulled
22 Halloween items from
the she! ves of several
stores in Ashland and tested them for lead at U.S.
Sen. Sherrod Brown's
request.
Three of those items, a
Frankenstein Cup, a witch
candy bucket and skull
candy bucket, were found to
contain high levels of lead.
The witch candy bucket was
purchased from Family
Dollar and the skull candy
bucket and. Fmnkenstein
cup were purchased at
Dollar Store.
A complaint regarding the
products was submitted on
Friday to the Consumer
Product Safety Commission
(CPSC).
Brown said he hopes the
CPSC will respond to
Weidenhamer's complaint.
"I'm
hopeful · (the
CPSC), instead of just
reacting, they will respohd
10 him, but then they will
be more aggressive to protecting the public," said
Brown. "The CPSC 's purpose is to· protect the public, especially protecting
children and families and
they ' re not doing their
jobs. They ' re not doing
their jobs partly because
the philosophy of the Bush
administration is to weaken consumer protection
and environme ntal stan dards. They ' ve done that
for six years. And the phi 1osophy of the Chine se
companies is to se ll things
here cheaply or the philosophy of Ameri can compames is to cut' costs when
they outso urce jobs to
China. Tha t' s a pre tty
lethal combina~ion. "
With the recent massi ve
recall of children 's toys also
found to contain lead,
Brown blames it on the current trade poli cies ..
"Safety standa rds are no
better than the weakest link
in our global ·chain,'' said
Brown durin g a phone conferen ce session regarding
the iss ue.

Point travels to Poca Winless Hannan.heads to winless Gilmer County
BY lARRY CRUM
LCRUM@MYDAILYREGISTER .COM

POCA. W.Va . - The
time to make a move is now
and Point Pleasant is ready
to strike.
After lo.,ing a heartbreaker two ll'eeks ago to
Winfield, the Big Blacks
responded last week with a
tough home stand against
the defending Class AA
state
champions
and
Cardinal Conference leading Wayne in a battle that
saw PPHS hold a narrow
lead through most of the
game.
Although Wayne did
manage to turn a-few PPHS
mistakes into points and an
eventual victory. the Big
Blacks did show that they
are not going to lie down to
anyo ne.
Point Pleasant (1-4. ·0-3
Cardinal) flexed its defensive muscle in .the contest.
holding the h~gh powered
Pioneer attack to just three
touchdowns while outgaining Wayne in total yardage,
but simply couldn't punch
it into the endzone.
. And even though Point
Pleasant's offensive woes
continued, with the team
averaging just 7.8 points
per game and a high of 16
points coming against
Meigs in a week three victory, its defense continues
.to be among the best on the
conference and that squad
will be tested once . again
when the Big Blacks travel
to face Poca (3-3. 2-1
Cardinal) Friday night.
The Big Blacks come into
the contest with just one
win, a week three victory
over Meigs (16-14), and
has suffered four losses to
Sissonville (40-7). Gallia
Academy (28-0), Winfield
(17-13) and Wayne (22-3).
Poca h.as traded wins and
loses each week and the Big
Blacks hope that trend continues as the Dots come into
Friday's game riding a 28-0
victory
over
winle~s
Herbert Hoover. The team
also has wins over
Chapmanville (28-14) and
Ravenswood (35-28) and
has suffered losses to Nitro
(48-33), Logan (28-12) and
Buffalo (32-21 ).
. Several injuries have
plagued the Dots in their
losses including their surprising setback to Buffalo
1wo weeks ago.
Poca comes into Friday's
contest second in the conference in points at 26 per
game just behind Wayne
and looks to try to keep that
offensive firepower going
against Point Pleasant.
B~t it won't be easy.
Aside from a week one
blowout, Point Pleasant has
limited its last four opponents to 81 points and Iittle
yardage and PPHS hopes to
oo the same this week
against Poca . .
However the Dots are no
pushover on defense either.
Poca has given up almost
as many points as it has
scored, but had a standout
performance last week
against Herbert Hoover,
holding the Huskies to I05
total yards and 66 yards on
the ground in the shutout.
Conversely the Dots ravished the Husky defense,
rushing for 233 yards on 43
carries led by senjor running back Derek McClure
who churned out 130. yar.ds
and a pair of touchdowns.
_He and runninll back Caleb
Arthur, who IS averaging
nearly I 0 yards per carry
this season, have· led the
Dots to a .500 record as
they continue to keep alive

in the Class
AA' playoff
race sitting
at No. 20 in
the ratings.
Hovering
POJH J around midpack,
the
Dots will desperately be
seeking a win this week
against the Big Blacks to
help keep their playoff
hopes alive.
Poca has also received a
lot of help from quarterback
Seth 'Martin, who passed
for 95 yards and a pair of
scores last week. With a
dangerous rushing attack
and a quarterback that can
make things happen when
needed, Point Pleasant will
have to bring its best
against the Dots.
But a talented rushing
attack doesn't intimidate
Point Pleasant.
Along with shutting down
Wayne last week, the Big
Blacks also stopped one of
the top rushers in the region
during their week three victory over Meigs, holding
Cornelius English , who
came into the game averaging over 200 yards per
game. unde~ I00 in the win
- the only time he has
rushed for under I00 yards
this season.
But · while · Point
Pleasant's defense has stole
the headlines, th~ offense
has slowly been com ing
together after a slow start.
Led by senior Tyler Grant,
who had rushed for over
I00 yards in two straight
games before being held to
just I8 yards last week, the
Big Blacks rushing attack
has really begun to click.
But even with the strong
play of the backfield, the
Red and Black will have a
.major obstacle to overcome
this week in replacing
quarterback B.J. Lloyd.
Lloyd, who injured his
wrist during last week' s
game, will mi ss the rest of
the season and his backup,

lost for the season after an
ankle injury.
Without an experienced
quarterback, Point Pleasant
will look to a recent breakout player to fill that role as
speedy freshman Allan
Wasonga steps in under
center.
Wasonga was
moved up from the freshme·n team two weeks ago
and immediately made his
.presence felt, rushing for a
touchdown on his first
carry.
He was worked more into ·
the offensive scheme 'last
week and it showed as he
led the team in rushing in .
hi s first full game with 79
yards on eight carries. With
the loss of Lloyd, who had
been improving each week,
Wasonga wi II lead the
potent rushing attack with
Grant. Caleb Wasonga and
Derek Mitchell helping
form a very dangerous
combo.
Overall Grant has rushed
for 362 yards and two
touchdowns this season
with Mitchell just behind at
221 yards and Caleb
Was6nga at 141 yards on
the year in the balanced
attack.
Lloyd had moved into the
top five in the Conference
in passing with 322 yards
before getting hurt.

GLENVILLE, w. Va. _
Finally Hannan has something to look forward to.
After facing a brutal. early
season schedule, the second
half of the year begins this
week and with it brings new
hope to a Hannan program
ravished with,injuries.
Along with playing teams
closer in -size to, the
Wildcats, Hannan hopes
more than anything else that
the second half of the year
will give the team a chance
to heal early wounds and
hopefully start playing the
kind of ball it knows it can.
And that all starts this
Friday.
Hannan (0-5) will make a
nearly three hour trip to
Gll!nville to take on fellow

winless squad Gilmer
County (0-6) who the
Wildcats beat for one of its
two wins last season. And
Friday 's game, which is
scheduled to begin at 7:30
p.m., will go a long way
toward the rest of the season for whoever manages to
pull out the win.
"I am very optimistic
about Friday night . I think
this is a team that we can
play with and have a good
showing against and win,
lose or draw I want the kids
to see that they can play
football with a team and
hopefully that will get them
up for the second half of the
year," said Hannan head
coach Keith Taylor.
And while the second half
of the year may be manageable, the first half wa&amp;
almost unbearable.
. The first five games saw

Hannan against teams a

RACINE -. Though agreeing in theory
with a new sexual predator law in Racine, village council -passed on pt,ming one on place
after consulting with its village solicitor.
Racine had been considering an ordinance
which would prohibit convicted sexual
predators ffom being within I,000 feet of village owned properties such as Star Mill Park
with its playground and ballfields. There is
already a law in the Ohio Revised Code
which prevents convicted sexual predators
from being within I,000 feet of a school.
Racine Police Marshal Curtis Jone s
worked up a draft ordinance and sent it to
Village Solicitor Doug Little to revieYI.
In writing. Little informed council that a
consulting attorney for the Ohio Muncipal
League strongly believed the passing of such
an ordinance in the village of Racine would
invite litigation. Little also said, after consulting with the OML attorney, the village's ordinance was more restrictive than the . Ohio·
Revised Code section prJhibiting convicted
sex offenders from school property, in part
because of,the 1.000 feet restriction from vii, Iage owned property. This restriction may ·
effectively preclude any sex offender from
· residing almost anywhere in the village would
. may pose a serious legal issue for Racine .
Little said he hin)self was not prepared to
rende r an opinion on the likelihood of a successful chall enge, in court, or the ordinance .'·
Council agreed Marshal Jones had tried to
do 11 good thing and protect the children but
