GENEROUS DONATION TO OPEN ANO'I'HER AREA TOURIST SPOT BY TIM MALONEY TMALONEY~YDAILYREGISTER.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - It's one good thing foilowing another in the rapid development of downtown Point Pleasant. Art Hartley Sr. and his sons Vitus Ray, Greg and Art E. Jr., who own of City Ice and Fuel, have purchased the Kincaid house at 105 Third St. and donated it to the Main Street program. Economic development director Charles Humphreys said ~tans are to pursue roughly $500,000 m grants to renovate the historic home and then open it for tours. · "The Hartleys did a Nreat thing for Mason County here, Humphreys said. "It was a very generous thing to do, and this will be here for generations to come." The brick home was built between 1890 and 1900 for A.F. Kisar, a jeweler. It has hand-carved woodworks, an abundance of ornate tile imported from England and a l;lrick wine cellar _in..the basement. Wayne and Margaret Kincaid purchased the house in 1962. After several years of extensive repairs were complete, they moved .in and made it their home. For many years, the Kiilcaids operate!~ a family-run grocery store on Main Street just a few yards from the house. Hartley Sr. said the family acquired the home about 90 days ago with the e)\!Jress purpose of donating it to the Maih Street program. He said the donation adds to what the family has done in the past to assist the River Museum and Pleasant Valley Hospital. Eventually, ownership of the house will be turned over to the city, which could not be more appreciative, said Mayor Jim Wilson. · "We' te just thrilled that this is going to happen," Wilson said. "It adds to what Members of the Hartley family pose for a picture to commemmorate their donation of the Kincaid house to Point Pleasant.

Hartley Jr., Vitus Ray Hartley and Greg Hartley. we're trying to do with tourism downtown, and you could not find better community citizens than the Hartleys." Humphreys said the Hartleys' decision to purchase the home came just in time, effectively saving it from being dismantled. He said the previous owners intended .to remove the ornate mantles and have them sold at auction in Columbus. "If the Hartleys had not been so generous, this would have been gone," Humphreys said. "They saved it just in time." An architect will be brought to examine the house in January and recommend what needs to be done to restore it. An' immediate need is to replace the roof, which is leaking and creating .something of an emergency situation with water damage. "In a couple of years, this will all be beautiful, just like the River Museum," Humphreys said. • NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS (NOIIRROF) TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS; •· AGENCIES, AND/OR GROUPS: Local Stocks Adult C8 Health Project Participants: the CS Science Panel Needs You!

It makes for a perilous future. President Bush bet his presidency and America's world leadership - on the war in Iraq. Tragically, it looks as though he bit off more than the American people were willing to chew. The United States is fail. ing in Iraq. Bush's policy was repudiated by the American people in the last election. And now America's enemies and rivals are pressing their advantage, including Iran, Syria, the Taliban, Sudan, Russia and Venezuela. We have yet to hear from AI Qaeda. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman had it right this week in saying that America has two choices in Iraq - a I 0-month strategy of withdrawal or a 10-year strategy of "reinvasion" and rebuilding the country from the ground up, probably requiring 150,000 additional U.S. troops. Along with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the editors of the Weekly Standard and some formerly antiwar retired generals, I favor the latter option, but it's obvious that the American people don't. Conceivably, they could be persuaded to support a true "victory" strategy if President Bush made a strong case for more troops, more money aitd more time. But he is not doing so. On Nov. 7, the public rejected h_is old strategy, based on a limited U.S. "footprint" and training for Iraqt forces - a strategy that has not worked .to produce a stable lraq. To the· contrary, the savage enemies of stability and democracy .- . Sunni insurgents, Al Qaeda terrorists, Shiite militiamen and plain old criminals have turned Iraq into a slaughterhouse. The Iraqi government is either unable or unwilling to stop what's become a low-grade civil war. Bush " reiterated more Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

'-·--- Moltou KCI!ll*a:te than once this week that he will "not leave until the job is done." but his only change in tactics seems to be to shift some troops to Baghdad and hasten a transfer of security responsibilities to the inept Iraqi government. Next week, the Iraq Study Group headed by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-lnd., will issue a report that is likely to weaken Bush's hand even further. Advance indications are that it will call for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops, without a timetable, as well as regional negotiations involving Syria and Iran countries that have been doing their utmost to destroy America's position in the Middle East. . As evidence mounts that Bush and America are in a weakened posttton, America's enemies are on the advance. With maximum chutzpah, · Iran's radical president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, -went so far as to write an open letter to the American people this week seeking to undermine Bush's domestic position by denouncing "the many wars and calamities caused by , the U.S. administration." That won't have much effect, but the fact is that Iran is winning its struggle against the United States. In Iraq, I ran's Revolutionary Guards are equipping the Mahdi Army of anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr, which is gaining strength amid the sectarian warfare. Iran continues working on a nuclear ' arsenal, protected from international sanctions by Russia and China and Bush's international weakness. Along with its ally. Syria, Iran is financing and arming the radical group Hezbollah, which is seeking to bring down the government of Lebanon. Leba11on's expulsion of Syrian forces in 2005, following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, was·one of the high points of U.S. influence in the Mideast. Also in 2005, nearly 75 percent of eligible Iraqis including Sunnis voted for a new constitu· lion and then a new government. anothe( high point for Bush and his drive to bring democracy to the Middle East. progress was Iraq ' s stopped by the destruction of the al-Askari Mosque in Samarra on Feb. 22, 2006, apparently by Sunni jihadists, which set off the sectarian strife that is now spinning out of control. Prog~ss was also stopped by the failure of Iraqi politicians to form a strong government. Lebanon's progress was halted this summer by Hezbollah 's capture and killing . of Israeli· soldiers, which led to massive Israeli bombing raids that shook the ~ountry's democratic government. Now, Lebanon is in grave danger as Hezbollah tries to block a U.N . inquiry into the Hariri killing which would surely implicate Syria and to gain control of the Lebanese government. · In the prpcess, someone presumably Syria, · maybe Hezbollah - this month assassinated antiSyria . Minister Pierre Gemayel, possibly presag- . ing a civil war in Lebanon. That would be another victory for the forces of chaos. Meanwhile, Iran and S;yria's radical . ally, Hamas, dominates the government in Palestine and rejects Israel's right to exist. Ahmadinejad rejects it, too, and tried in his letter to split Americans from Israel. America's once-defeated enemy. the Taliban, is regaining ground in Afghanistan, and a politically weakened Bush has not been able . to get many NATO countries to help {ight the movement. Sudan's radical Islamic regime feels emboldened to reject an enhanced United Nations· African Union peacekeeping force to stop genocide in Darfur, another impending defeat for the forces of peace and order. Whether or not Russian President Vladimir Putin personally . ordered the assassination of his critic Alexander Litvinenko, there is no question that he is pressuring former-Soviet countries- and U.S. allies - such as the Ukraine and Georgia to knuckle under to Russian dominance. And in Latin America, just as Cuba's Fidel Castro is fading away, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is spreading anti-U.S. populism to one country after another. The Bu.sh administration is too pre-occupied with the Middle East to counter him. • Whether by choice or inability, AI Qaeda has not hit the United States since 2001. But it's always been Osama bin Laden's view that Americans don't have the stomach for lengthy conflict. That seems to be proving true in Iraq. It would be surprising if he did not try to take advan~ tage of America's evident weakness .. , I heard recently that one of America's most distinguished historians had played a little game with a presidential candidate, asking him which five years were the most perilous in American history. --When the candidate offered the first years of the Republic, the. Civil War, World War II or the Cold War, the historian supposedly said, "No, the neltt five years." The historian told me through an aide that the story wasn't true ;,tnd that he doesn't believe that the next five years are America's most perilous. That's good to hear, but I don't agree .

Director Marilyn Wilcox conducts choir members of the Middleport .Church of Christ who will perform during the church's Christmas play. Play from PageA1 such as "Blessed Be The Child" and "Go And Worship Medley" featuring "Go Tell It .On The Mountain I Get All Excited I 0 Come, All Ye Faithful." In addition to these many other songs will be featured during the play. "Last year we went with a more modern Christmas play and this year we're going back to the traditional Christmas story," church member and play co-organizer · Terri . Hockman said. CINCINNATI The U.S. Supreme Court on ·Monday rejected the state's request to lift a stay of execution for a man who had been scheduled to die by injection · Tuesday in the stabbing and beating death of a woman in 1985. The Supreme Court did not explain its decision, which left in place an emergency stay granted by a panel of 6th U.S. Circuit Court judges blocking the execution of Jerome Henderson. The appeals court earlier Monday refused the state's request for a hear.ing by the full court. "We're quite thrilled with it," Henderson 's attorney, David Stebbins, said of the .Supreme Court ruling. Stebbins said, based .on the 6th Circuit rulings , he thought it would have been unusual for the Supreme Court to overturn the stay. Bob . Beasley, spokesman for the Ohio attorney general's office, said the panel's ruling seems inconsistent with the appeals court's decision in a similar death penalty case several weeks ago. In that case, the court reversed a lower court order that would have delayed an execution. Henderson was informed Monday night of the Supreme Court decision, but prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said she was not aware of his reaction. a Prior to the ruling, the state had · proceeded Monday with preparations for the execution, moving Henderson to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, where execulions are carried out. Dean said Henderson will remain in Lucasville until Tuesday morning, although he will be moved from the !Ieath house ·into another area of the -prison. He then will be taken back to the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown, which houses Ohio's death row. · Henderson had spent Monday writin~ letters and watching televtsion, Dean said. Henderson also received his requested special meal, which included barbecued pork and chick- en, macaroni and cheese, collard greens and com bread with butter. · Henderson, 47, was convicted in July 1985 of ·aggravated murder, aggra- · vated burglary and attempted rape in the death,of Mary Acoff, 26, in her Cincinnati apartment earlier that year. Stebbins and Beasley both said the next step in the case will depend on the outcome of a .constitutional challenge of lethal inJection that Henderson has JOined. Ar~uments in that case, whtch claims the method is cruel and unusual, . are scheduled to ·be made in the 6th Circuit on Thursday. "The stay is in place as long as the lethal mjection lawsuit is pending, I guess," Stebbins said.

Those were the main reasons cited Monday by ma.ny poll voters for jumping Florida over Michigan on their final ballots, setting up a Gators-Buckeyes matchup in the BCS national title game Jan. 8. . . "If you beat a team ·one time, why do they get the national championship if they win the second time?'' said Earle Bruce, the former Ohio State coach who votes in the Hams Interactive poll and moved Florida ahead of Michigan. "I mean, they've already played one time and lost." The Gators (12-1 ), who beat Arkansas to win the "Southeastern Conference title on Saturday, moved from fourth to second in the final BCS standings Sunday. The Wolverines ( 11-1 ), who lost to the Buckeyes 42-39 on Nov. 18, remained third, while USC dropped to fifth from second after losing to UCLA.

Tom Luicci, a Harris voter who· bumped Florida up to. second, said he made his assessment bas~ on Florida's body of work - not one game. "Michigan has quality wins over Wisconsin, which played no one, and Notre Dame, which won the Commander's-inChief trophy (a reference to wins over the service academies) which I don't consider a . major coup." .., As for Florida. ·Luicci noted its weak nonconference schedule "but that doesn't matter when you pi!IY every good team in the SEC and have quality road wins, too." Florida played 10 bowl teams and beat nine, including road wins against Tennessee and Florida State, neutral site wins against Georgia and Arkansas and home victories against LSU and Alabama. The Gators lone loss? At Auburn, 27-17. "Michigan had its shot," said Harris voter Joe Biddle of The Tennessean .. "If you replayed · that game it would be nothing more than a Big Ten championship·-. and I don 't think you get mulligans in college football. ·" If there's a viable altemative, I stay away from a rematch and I think Florida gives them a viable altemative." Jerry Palm, lm independent BCS analyst, estimates that 40 of the 113 voters in the Harris poll and 25 of the 62 in the USA Today coaches' poll IQOVed the Gators past the Wolverines. The teams were tied in the computer ratings, the third component of the BCS standings. The Associated Press media poll is not used in the BCS rankings, but 25 of the 65 voters moved Florida ahead of Michigan. . lllinois coach Ron loOk, who used to coach Florida, was among the voters in the coaches' poll who elevated the Gators. He was also the only Bi$ Ten coach to vote Florida ahead of Michtgan . "Believe me, it's no slight to Michigan at all," loOk said. "I thought you were supposed to vote the way you feel. One vote wasn't going to make the difference. A bunch of people tl!med and flipped and voted Florida ahead of Michigan. lfor me, it was the fact that they played a 13th game." That game, for the conference title, was one that Michigan didn't have to play. And because it was played two weeks after Michigan's season-ending loss, it meant a big Gators win was more fresh in voters' minds. APpoll voter Michael Vega of The Boston Globe said he wasn't against a .rematch but found it hard to justify one this time. "I had to reconcile a fundamental problem with giving Michigan a chance to win the national championship when it didn 't even win a conference championship," he said. AP voter Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News said a rematch was appealing, but Florida deserves a title shot. based on strength of schedule. · "Beating Arkansas, a I 0-win team on a neutral field in December gave Florida that extra push," said Wilner.

The original form traveler that was to be used in the construction, of the new Pomeroy-Mason Bridge was recently used on a a bridge in Puerto Rico where work was temporarily halted because the form traveler failed. The form traveler, which is used by work crews, was described by ODOT . as a safety issue for the contractor not the public. Last month ODOT made a decision to scrap the old form traveler design and move forward with a new design. The form traveler is not assembled on site and may take around six months to assemble which would put it arriving on the job site· when winter weather begins to break, presenting a need for a full work crew. "There is still a lot of work being done right now, it's just work that's being done behind the scenes and because of the form .traveler refabrication the contractor has reduced their on site crew," said ODOT Public Information Officer for District I0 .
