' They say the best thing to . do after the death of a laved one is to talk about it and let it all out. And after this weekend's loss - no ·- loss is not a strong enough word, debacle is probably the best wo rd to use in this situation. After No. 2 West Virginia's 13-9 de bac le agains t Pitt sburgh Saturday night, I feel like I am mourning the loss of my beloved Mountaineers. Everyone knows I am a Marshall graduate and I will admit that, even though it took me a while, I eventual · ly grew to love the Herd. But fro m the time I was born and my dad put me in a WV U hat and t-shirt, I have bled blue and gold. Some of my earliest memories are watching the 'Eers play on Saturday afternoons with my dad and I will ne ver forget the first time I got to see them in person - 1998 against Virginia Tech - and the last, having to chose sides in Huntington (I stood on each sideline when I was taking pictures, just to be fair). Now, after years of watching my team ~rt with greatness only to, well. choke with it all on the line, thi s weekend truly broke my heart. You wouldn 't have found a bigger fan of the Blue and Gold over the past week, proudlY. sporting my WVU gear, even in hostile Ohio State country, and making my case for why they deserve a national title shoi. But you also wouldn 't have found another fan as nervous as I either. Three weeks ago I said that the game against Connecticut would be a walk in the park, I truly felt the Huskies were highly overrated. As for Pittsburgh, I have watched the Panthers ruin many a party in Morgantown. And knowing this week· end was, not only a rivalry game, but another No. 2 Lany Crum ra nked team playing for it all - and we all know how that has turned out this season I went into Saturday nights game more nervous than most WVU fans felt I should be. After all. they were a 28· point favorite, why worry? All day I nervously watched the ,clock, knowing that each second gone was either getting closer to one of the happiest nights of my life, or the last few moments of a national title dream. And after the clock struck midnight on yet another Cinderella season, those dreams quickly became · . nightmares. Proud! y wearing my Pat White jersey, I watched every moment of the game in what seemed like slow motion. A missed field goal, a Fumble, ·an injury, some more negative yards - what was happening to the team that put up over 500 yards rushing and 60+ points against UConn a week ago. This wasn't my Mountaineers playing out there. What I did see was West Virginia' s defense playing like champions. What I didn't see was the most dangerous offense in all of college football doing much of anything. Yes White got hurt, but that just didn't seem to matter. · WVU was simply out· played in every aspect of the game. This team has the weapons to score a measly 14 points, an amount that would have sent them to the national title game. Instead all they .could come up with is a single touchdown. When it ended I sat in disbelief of what I just saw. Did I just see the college football version of the old Boston Red . Sox? With a· national title . game wrapped and waiting with a bow on top, did West Virj!inia really just lose to 4· 7 Pitt? And most importantly, will they ever be m a position like this again in my lifetime? WVU already holds the prestigious record of the most wins in all of college football without a national title, now how do much longer Mountaineer fans have to wait for another shot? With a sickness in my stomach, I headed back home and spent the night hinging on SportsCenter highlights, hoptng that at some point I would wake up and see the real score. I kept waiting for: WVU 35, Pittsburgh 7 to scroll across the bottom of the screen. It never happened. When I finally fell asleep, the next morning brought with it even ~~:~ore sadness. Diehard WVU fans coming to church dressed in all black- .it really was like a funeral. Now I know that WVU is not dead, in fact they are far from it. West Virginia is still playing in a BCS game against a quality Oklahoma team, they will probably have Pat White, Steve Slaton and others · returning for another season and they still have Rich Rodriguez so there is always next year. But while a BCS bid is what most teams dream of, it just seenis like a consolation prize for this year's Mountaineer team. After the craziest year in college football history, filled with one monumental upset after another, I know I shouldn 't be surprised with what happened. And when it is all said and done, an Ohio .State-LSU matchup for the national title probably puts two of the best teams playing for it all. But that still doe's n't diminish the pain for, the Blue and Gold faithful. A year in which they needed half a dozen other upsets to even get this far after the loss to South Florida, the stars just seemed to perfectly . align. This was their year. But Pitt made sure that the IDOth ~peetin g betwe.en the two schools was the most memorable game of them all. And even though I swore off college football and the Mountaineers in disgust Saturday night, I know that I will be right there cheering them on next year when they do this all over again. That is what being a fan is all about - the highs and the lows. · And although Saturday night was probably as low as it can get, life goes on and West Virgina still has another game to play. . So as the regular season comes to an end, I congratulate Ohio State and LSU for being the only teams to sur· vive this crazy year and I am still geared up for WVU to get another chance to make a statement in the Fiesta BowL And although I know from time to time my mind will still wonder what if, eventu~ ally . those . thoughts will become oothing more than a bad dream. I just wish I could wake up now. Children's choir toperfonn Sunday,A6 0«421 PLEASANT VALLEY HOS,PJTAL days til Christmas Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :; o Cl ·.:'l; IS • \ 'ol. .)- .

Despite the suspension of its weapons program, it may be difficult to ultimately dissuade Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb because Iran believes such a weapon would give it international prestige and leverage to achieve its national security and foreign policy goals, the assessment concluded. "The bottom line is this: For that strategy to succeed, the international community has to turn up the pressure on Iran with diplomatic isolation, United Nations sanctions, and with other financial pressure and Iran has to decide it wants to negotiate a solution," Hadley said. The intelligence officials said they do not know all the reasons why Iran halted its weapons program, or what might trigger its resumption. They said they are confident that diplomatic and political pressure played a key role , but said the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Libya's termination of its nuclear program and the implosion of · the illegal nuclear smuggling network run by Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan might also have influenced Tehran. To develop a nuclear weapon, Iran needs to design and engineer a war.head, obtain enough fissile material, and build a delivery vehicle such as a missile. The intelligence agencies now believe 'Iran halted warhead engineering four years ago and as of mid2007 had Rot restarted it. But Iran is still enriching ur_a nium for its civilian nuclear reactors that produce electricity. That leaves open the possibility .t hat fissile material could be diverted to covert nuclear sites to .pro- 2007 duce highly enriched uranium for a warhead. Engineers have known the design for a nuclear weapon for 60 years. The countdown to a nuclear weapon is determined more by the availability of fissile material · than anything else; the officials said. Even if the country went all out with present enrichment capabihty, it is unlikely to have enough until late 2009 or 20 I 0 at the earliest, the officials said. The State Departme.nt 's Intelligence and Re searc h otfice believes the earliest · Jikely time it would have enough highly enriched uranium would be 2013. But all agencies concede Iran may not have sufficient enriched uranium until after 2015. Iran would not be able to technically produce and reprocess enough plutonium for- a weapon before about 2015, the report says.- But ultimately it has the technical and industrial capacity to build a bomb, "if it decides to do so," the intelligence agencies found.

The finding is part of a National Intelligence Estimate on Iran that also cautions that Tehran continues to enrich uranium and still could develop a bomb between 2010 and 20 IS' if it decided to do so.

Despite the suspension of its weapons program, it may be difficult to ultimately dissuade Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb because Iran believes such a weapon would give it international prestige and leverage to achieve its national security and foreign policy goals, the assessment concluded. "The bottom line is this: For that strategy to succeed, the international community has to turn up the pressure on Iran with diplomatic isolation, United Nations sanctions, and with other financial pressure and Iran has to decide it wants to negotiate a solution," Hadley said. The intelligence officials said they do not know all the reasons why Iran halted its weapons program, or what might trigger its resumption. They said they are confident that diplomatic and political pressure played a key role , but said the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Libya's termination of its nuclear program and the implosion of · the illegal nuclear smuggling network run by Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan might also have influenced Tehran. To develop a nuclear weapon, Iran needs to design and engineer a war.head, obtain enough fissile material, and build a delivery vehicle such as a missile. The intelligence agencies now believe 'Iran halted warhead engineering four years ago and as of mid2007 had Rot restarted it. But Iran is still enriching ur_a nium for its civilian nuclear reactors that produce electricity. That leaves open the possibility .t hat fissile material could be diverted to covert nuclear sites to .pro- 2007 duce highly enriched uranium for a warhead. Engineers have known the design for a nuclear weapon for 60 years. The countdown to a nuclear weapon is determined more by the availability of fissile material · than anything else; the officials said. Even if the country went all out with present enrichment capabihty, it is unlikely to have enough until late 2009 or 20 I 0 at the earliest, the officials said. The State Departme.nt 's Intelligence and Re searc h otfice believes the earliest · Jikely time it would have enough highly enriched uranium would be 2013. But all agencies concede Iran may not have sufficient enriched uranium until after 2015. Iran would not be able to technically produce and reprocess enough plutonium for- a weapon before about 2015, the report says.- But ultimately it has the technical and industrial capacity to build a bomb, "if it decides to do so," the intelligence agencies found. They said Iran's immediate intentions are a mystery. Internet HOLIDAY SPECIAL! Unimi!ld Ho!Q ....

The ABC/Washington Post poll indicated that among Iowa Democrats, Climon's points of advantage - "strength and expe 7 rience" - are far less. important. than Obama's "new direction and new ideas" by a margin of more than 20 percent. If caucus-goers between now and January decide that they need to support the candidate best able to win the presidency in November and best qualified to govern , they' ll pick Clinton, much as they dropped Howard Dean for Sen. John Kerry (Massachusetts) in 2004. If they primarily want someone who says what he t.hinks and understands the problems of peopte iri Iowa, it will be Edwards. If they opt for trying to change Washington, it will be Obama- according to current polls. It's hard to see how Edwards goes on to win the nomination even if he wins in Iowa. He's running a distant third in New Hampshire and everywhere . else. But then, Hart didn't even win Iowa in 1984 he got 17 percent to Mondale's 49 percent. - · and almost caught the frontrunner. Obama is more likely io defeat Clinton for the nomination - especially if an Iowa victory makes him the top story of the night and excites Independents in New . Hampshire to vote in the Democratic primary. More than 40 percent of registered voters in t.he state are Independents eligible to vote in either party's primary. A poll this summer indicated that nearly 70 percent of them might vote in the Democratic primary. Clinton currently leads Obama in New Hampshire, 36 percent to 23 percent, according to ReaiCiearPolitics averages. But an Obama victory in Iowa could change that. On the Republican side, Romney is losing his early Iowa advantage to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: If Romney doesn't win Iowa, it's a blow to his strategy of collecting a nm of early victories that would propel him past Giuliani, the national and late-stat.e frontrunner. Romney still has a significant lead in New Hampshire - 33 percent to 18 percent for Giuliani and 16 percent for McCai n but Giuliani is challenging. And Giuliani also 'is catching up to Romney in Michigan, is ahead in Nevada and tied in South · Carolina. In Florida, Giuliani leads by. 17 points and in Feb. 5 states like California and New Jersey, by nearly 30 points. It 's hard to see .how Huckabee could capitalize on an Iowa victory, though he mighi attract some Independents in New Hampshire, or how McCain could convert a New Hampshire victory to capture the nomination . Former Sen. Fred Thompson (Tennessee) seems to · be catching fire nowhere. In the latest Gallup polls for the general election, Clinton is leading Giuliani by just five points, McCain by six and Romney by 16. Obama is tied with Giuliani, leads McCain by just three and beats Romney by 17. In other words, if Giuliani (or McCain) wins the GOP nomination, the general election outcome could be very close , with the GOP challenging the Democrat on national security. taxes and the size of government. Romney, by the time he won the nomination, would close the present gap and . challenge on the basis of executive experience as · well as.issues. So, bottoni line, Clinton still has an edge, but it's nothing to bet much money O(t. If you're inclined to do so, though, Ladbrokes of London puts the odds on Clinton at 1-2. Giuliani at 72, Romney ar 11 -2, Obama ·at 8-1 and Edwards at 25- 1. (Morton Kondracke is exewtive editor of Roll Call, the 11ewspaper of Capitol Hill.) United Nations and Africa disgrace themselves The American draft of the resoh.ltion before the U.N. General Assembly could not have been :my clearer or more vital, especi ally since an in creasing number of governments and their murderous militias are using rape as a political weapon. As reported in The New York Times (Nov. 17), America intended to condemn "rape used by governments and armed groups to achieve political and military ends." , But, as often happens at the spineless, rampantly disingenuous United Nations, the final resolution - after itself being savaged by marry self-protecting revisions - stated that, in general, rape is not acceptable, but stripped qut rape as an "instrument to achieve political objectives." There was no mention left of government ''soldiers and militia members." Instead, the United Nations weakly says that rape should not be used "in conflict and related situations.'' Who crippled the original American draft language? Not surprisingly, it was the 43-nation African Group Coalition. Said South African ambassador Dumisnai ·Kumalo, America had created two ·categories of rape and the African delegates wanted "to balance the text by making certain that there was no politicization of rape." Huh? . By leaving out rape sponsored by an individual state and its armed militia, the sovereign criminal nation of Sudan was tliereby not embarrassed, let alone the Belgian Congo. At first, there was a U.S. objection from Grover Joseph Rees Nat HentoH Ill, · our human-right s ambassador, saying that we would have preferred the oFiginallanguage about "the particularly outrageous situation in which a state condones the use of systematic mass rape by its own forces or surrogate militias in order to advance their military or political objectives." But Rees, a team player, added that the United States does welcome the final agreement by good old consensus. That way, delegates, though disagreeing, can still have a companionable lunch. If only John Bolton were still our man at the United Nations. After a critical New York Times editorial on the U.S.abetted consensus, the U.S. pennanent representative to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, was heard from in a Nov. 21 letter to the news· paper: ''The United States did not fail. ... We are partieuiarly pleased that the_resoJut ion requests the secretary general to report on situations in which rape is 'calcu· lated to humiliate, instill fear in, disperse and/or forcibly relocate' members of opposition groups." To which nations might he be referring? Does Sudan simply . "cafculate" rape as a primary . weapon in its genocide of black Muslims in Darfur? And is the world to take heart that U.N . SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon who has become the Alberto Gonzales of that organization - is the authority to .whom these reports are to · be made ? There are certainly committed and brave humanrights activists in Africa, but the conti·nent 's leaders steadil y fail to excoriate the mon strous Robert Mugabe, the terrorizer and starver of hi s people in Zimbabwe. (And why has the revered Nelson Mand.eia continued to be so silent about Mugabe? There are many victims of that brutalizer who would welcome words · of encouragement from the . extraordinary leader who liberated South Africa.) At the next summit meeting of African leaders, I do not expect a resolution on the agenda to ask for accountability for heads of states or their armed opponents who have committed systematic crimes against the humanity of the people on that continent. For one example, on Nov. I, Amnesty International reported:' "Six years after the end of war in Sierra Leone, tens of thousands of women and girls who survived mass rapes, sexual slavery, forced pregna~cy -and other crimes of sexual violence continue to suffer as so-called 'reb.el wives,' targeted for discrimination and denied access to health care, jobs and schools. .. . The government has an obligation under internationa I law to bring to justice those responsible for mass and gang rapes,.sexual slavery and sexual violence. which are considered war m mes." . There is no mention of Sierra Leone in the new U.N. resolution on rape. But Africa, of course, is not unique ifl the world as a haven for rape as a political weapon. On Dec. 8, 2004, in a report including rape as weapon of war, "Lives Blown Apart," Amnesty ' Internation al reveale<;l , "a sys,tematic pattern of abuse (of women) repeating itself in contlicts all over the world from Colombia, Iraq, Sudan, Chechnya, Nepal to Afghanistan and in 30 other ongoing contlicts. Despite promises, treaties and legal mechanisms, governments have failed to protect women and girls from violence ." Have there been any substantive changes for better or worse in this global pattern? The General Assembly of the United . Nations or its Security Council are no more . likely to seriously address itself to the conduct of those of its sovereign member nations committing these atrocities t~an they are likely to force Sudan's leader, Gen . Omar al-Bashir, to disband his Janjaweed militia, serious contenders for the world championship of mass raping. · Says a villager in Darfur recently on PBS 's "Frontline" · ("On Our Watch"), "I was carrying my little baby ·on my back, and they shot him dead . After the child died, 'they pulled him away and raped me." I don' t think this kept U.N. member al-Bashir awake that night.

"IGCC wasn't a right fit for us," Carson said. explaining one -of the reason for thi s is the concern that IGCC plants need to operate at a constant level. at ali times, inc)uding times during off-peak seasons such as spring ami fall.

The ABC/Washington Post poll indicated that among Iowa Democrats, Climon's points of advantage - "strength and expe 7 rience" - are far less. important. than Obama's "new direction and new ideas" by a margin of more than 20 percent. If caucus-goers between now and January decide that they need to support the candidate best able to win the presidency in November and best qualified to govern , they' ll pick Clinton, much as they dropped Howard Dean for Sen. John Kerry (Massachusetts) in 2004. If they primarily want someone who says what he t.hinks and understands the problems of peopte iri Iowa, it will be Edwards. If they opt for trying to change Washington, it will be Obama- according to current polls. It's hard to see how Edwards goes on to win the nomination even if he wins in Iowa. He's running a distant third in New Hampshire and everywhere . else. But then, Hart didn't even win Iowa in 1984 he got 17 percent to Mondale's 49 percent. - · and almost caught the frontrunner. Obama is more likely io defeat Clinton for the nomination - especially if an Iowa victory makes him the top story of the night and excites Independents in New . Hampshire to vote in the Democratic primary. More than 40 percent of registered voters in t.he state are Independents eligible to vote in either party's primary. A poll this summer indicated that nearly 70 percent of them might vote in the Democratic primary. Clinton currently leads Obama in New Hampshire, 36 percent to 23 percent, according to ReaiCiearPolitics averages. But an Obama victory in Iowa could change that. On the Republican side, Romney is losing his early Iowa advantage to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: If Romney doesn't win Iowa, it's a blow to his strategy of collecting a nm of early victories that would propel him past Giuliani, the national and late-stat.e frontrunner. Romney still has a significant lead in New Hampshire - 33 percent to 18 percent for Giuliani and 16 percent for McCai n but Giuliani is challenging. And Giuliani also 'is catching up to Romney in Michigan, is ahead in Nevada and tied in South · Carolina. In Florida, Giuliani leads by. 17 points and in Feb. 5 states like California and New Jersey, by nearly 30 points. It 's hard to see .how Huckabee could capitalize on an Iowa victory, though he mighi attract some Independents in New Hampshire, or how McCain could convert a New Hampshire victory to capture the nomination . Former Sen. Fred Thompson (Tennessee) seems to · be catching fire nowhere. In the latest Gallup polls for the general election, Clinton is leading Giuliani by just five points, McCain by six and Romney by 16. Obama is tied with Giuliani, leads McCain by just three and beats Romney by 17. In other words, if Giuliani (or McCain) wins the GOP nomination, the general election outcome could be very close , with the GOP challenging the Democrat on national security. taxes and the size of government. Romney, by the time he won the nomination, would close the present gap and . challenge on the basis of executive experience as · well as.issues. So, bottoni line, Clinton still has an edge, but it's nothing to bet much money O(t. If you're inclined to do so, though, Ladbrokes of London puts the odds on Clinton at 1-2. Giuliani at 72, Romney ar 11 -2, Obama ·at 8-1 and Edwards at 25- 1. (Morton Kondracke is exewtive editor of Roll Call, the 11ewspaper of Capitol Hill.) United Nations and Africa disgrace themselves The American draft of the resoh.ltion before the U.N. General Assembly could not have been :my clearer or more vital, especi ally since an in creasing number of governments and their murderous militias are using rape as a political weapon. As reported in The New York Times (Nov. 17), America intended to condemn "rape used by governments and armed groups to achieve political and military ends." , But, as often happens at the spineless, rampantly disingenuous United Nations, the final resolution - after itself being savaged by marry self-protecting revisions - stated that, in general, rape is not acceptable, but stripped qut rape as an "instrument to achieve political objectives." There was no mention left of government ''soldiers and militia members." Instead, the United Nations weakly says that rape should not be used "in conflict and related situations.'' Who crippled the original American draft language? Not surprisingly, it was the 43-nation African Group Coalition. Said South African ambassador Dumisnai ·Kumalo, America had created two ·categories of rape and the African delegates wanted "to balance the text by making certain that there was no politicization of rape." Huh? . By leaving out rape sponsored by an individual state and its armed militia, the sovereign criminal nation of Sudan was tliereby not embarrassed, let alone the Belgian Congo. At first, there was a U.S. objection from Grover Joseph Rees Nat HentoH Ill, · our human-right s ambassador, saying that we would have preferred the oFiginallanguage about "the particularly outrageous situation in which a state condones the use of systematic mass rape by its own forces or surrogate militias in order to advance their military or political objectives." But Rees, a team player, added that the United States does welcome the final agreement by good old consensus. That way, delegates, though disagreeing, can still have a companionable lunch. If only John Bolton were still our man at the United Nations. After a critical New York Times editorial on the U.S.abetted consensus, the U.S. pennanent representative to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, was heard from in a Nov. 21 letter to the news· paper: ''The United States did not fail. ... We are partieuiarly pleased that the_resoJut ion requests the secretary general to report on situations in which rape is 'calcu· lated to humiliate, instill fear in, disperse and/or forcibly relocate' members of opposition groups." To which nations might he be referring? Does Sudan simply . "cafculate" rape as a primary . weapon in its genocide of black Muslims in Darfur? And is the world to take heart that U.N . SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon who has become the Alberto Gonzales of that organization - is the authority to .whom these reports are to · be made ? There are certainly committed and brave humanrights activists in Africa, but the conti·nent 's leaders steadil y fail to excoriate the mon strous Robert Mugabe, the terrorizer and starver of hi s people in Zimbabwe. (And why has the revered Nelson Mand.eia continued to be so silent about Mugabe? There are many victims of that brutalizer who would welcome words · of encouragement from the . extraordinary leader who liberated South Africa.) At the next summit meeting of African leaders, I do not expect a resolution on the agenda to ask for accountability for heads of states or their armed opponents who have committed systematic crimes against the humanity of the people on that continent. For one example, on Nov. I, Amnesty International reported:' "Six years after the end of war in Sierra Leone, tens of thousands of women and girls who survived mass rapes, sexual slavery, forced pregna~cy -and other crimes of sexual violence continue to suffer as so-called 'reb.el wives,' targeted for discrimination and denied access to health care, jobs and schools. .. . The government has an obligation under internationa I law to bring to justice those responsible for mass and gang rapes,.sexual slavery and sexual violence. which are considered war m mes." . There is no mention of Sierra Leone in the new U.N. resolution on rape. But Africa, of course, is not unique ifl the world as a haven for rape as a political weapon. On Dec. 8, 2004, in a report including rape as weapon of war, "Lives Blown Apart," Amnesty ' Internation al reveale<;l , "a sys,tematic pattern of abuse (of women) repeating itself in contlicts all over the world from Colombia, Iraq, Sudan, Chechnya, Nepal to Afghanistan and in 30 other ongoing contlicts. Despite promises, treaties and legal mechanisms, governments have failed to protect women and girls from violence ." Have there been any substantive changes for better or worse in this global pattern? The General Assembly of the United . Nations or its Security Council are no more . likely to seriously address itself to the conduct of those of its sovereign member nations committing these atrocities t~an they are likely to force Sudan's leader, Gen . Omar al-Bashir, to disband his Janjaweed militia, serious contenders for the world championship of mass raping. · Says a villager in Darfur recently on PBS 's "Frontline" · ("On Our Watch"), "I was carrying my little baby ·on my back, and they shot him dead . After the child died, 'they pulled him away and raped me." I don' t think this kept U.N. member al-Bashir awake that night.

As for the OEC' s contention that AMP didn' t give IGCC adequate consideration as its means for producing electricity, Carson called it "ridiculous," saying AMP's board and staff toured IGCC plant s to examine the pros· and cons, as well as did other research . into facilities operating with the technology. "IGCC wasn't a right fit for us," Carson said. explaining one -of the reason for thi s is the concern that IGCC plants need to operate at a constant level. at ali times, inc)uding times during off-peak seasons such as spring ami fall. " We need to be able to ramp up and ramp down production at our plant depending nn the load."

POMEROY Both Meigs and Gallia Counties are including in a listing of counties where residents are eligible to apply for low interest emergency loan s from United States Department of Agriculture 's Farm Service Agency (FSA). Seventy -three counties were desi~nated as primary natural d1saster areas due to damages and · losses caused by _drought and extreme heat, conditions that occurred from April 15 and are continuing, according to the FSA. The counties, along with several adjacent ones, were designated natural . disaster areas on Nov. 26, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low-interest emergency loans from USDA's FSA, provided eligibility requirements are met. To qualify, farmers must be unable to obtain credit from commercial sources. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part or all of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. rt was noted that FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the emergency loan program, to help eligible farmc;rs recover from adversity. USDA has also made other programs available to assist farmers, including the Emergency Conservation Program, Federal Crop Insurance and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assi stance Program. Interested farmers should contact their local USDAFSA county office for further information on 'eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.
