SeePage 81 BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY Meigs County's investment program, overseen by Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank, has generated an additional .$7,000 over last year's income. That interest income is an imponant source of revenue for the county's general fund, and helps create a car- ryover balance that allows the county to operate in the first weeks of the new year, Frank said Tuesday. According to Frank, interest on inactive funds deposted in local ban"s generated $188,887.82 this year, com· pared to $181,611.80 last year. Tbe increa$e in interest on those funds, Frank said, is the result of an increase in delinquent tax collections in 2005, an increase in hanks' interest rates, and higher real estate valuations as the result of a re-evaluation process completed for the 2006 tax year. Because of those factors, "there was more money to invest · this year than there has been in the past," Frank said. Frank is able to invest funds not needed immediately for expenses in interest-bearing accounts, close- ly monitors interest rates. The interest rate from one local bank· has increased from 2.5 percent in January to 4.25 percent ·now. By comparison, Frank's investment · program generated $152,500 in 2004, $142,200 in 2003, $196,500 in 2002, and $317,400 in 200 I, the last year the Southern Ohio Coal Company operated mining equipment in the county.

Motorcycle accident victim released .from .hospital BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYQAILYSENTINR.COM POMEROY -William Arnott of Syracuse who sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident last Friday is expected to be released today from St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington, W.Va. Arnott's son Shawn said he thought his father might be released .today from the hospital after initially being transponed by medical helicopter from Pleasant Valley Hospital in Point Pleasant, W.Va. to St. Mary's Hospital after some internal . bleeding was suspected. Shawn said Amott's conditioned remained stable throUghout his hospital stay which included time spent in intensive care. Amott did not lose consciousness after the accident. Pomeroy Chief of Police Mark E. Proffitt said Amott, who was riding a Harley Davidson Dyna Glide motorcycle, hit a guard rail in front of Bun's Pany Bam on Friday afternoon. There were no other vehicles or victims involved in the accident which Proffitt said was likely cmosed "in his ,opinion" by mechanical failure, specifically the bike's throttle be<;oming stuck. Shawn added that his dad ·said he felt the bike lurch forward before the crash. "I commend Mr. Amott for wearing his helmet at ·the time of the accident," Proffitt said.

Military chiefs harbor doubts about proposal to 'surge' troops to Iraq BY ROBERT BURNS • • AP MILITARY WRITER . WASHINGTON A White House laboring to find a new approach in Iraq · said Tuesday- tt is considering sending more U:S. • troops, an option that wor- . ries top generals because of its questionable payoff and potential bac)<:lash. President Bush said he is ready to boost the overall si1..e of an American military overstretched by its efforts against worldwide terrorism. The military's caution on shipping thousands of additiona! troops temporarily to Iraq is based on a fear that the move could be ineffective without bold new pol it- . ical and economic steps. Commanders also worry ~hat the already stretched Army and Marine Corps would be even thinner once the short-term surge ended. Bush's newly expressed interest in making the military larger would have little impact on that worry because. it will take much longer to add substantially to the size of the military. . Generals also question whether sending · more troops to Iraq would feed a perception that the strife in Iraq is mainly a military · problem; in their view it .is largely political, fed by economic distress.

Is Schoenfeld nuts? No. That's a word that more accurately describes the meeting he was talking about, which featured people like David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan "Grand Wizard" who dream& of being president of the United States, and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the nuclearminded lunatic who was holding the conference in shooting distance of Israel (the country he wants to wipe off the map). The Holocaust conference - and subsequent David Duke appearances on CNN - came in the wake of the recent James Baker/Lee Hamilton-chaired Iraq Study Group Report, advising the White House on what to do about Iraq. Baker, who is not known for his friendliness to Israel, recommends that the United States talk with Iran and Syria more; he pins hlame for the region's problems on Israel. The report also came shortly after the release of an Israel-bashing bopk, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" (Simon & Schuster), by former president of the United States, Jimmy Carter. to what Contrary Ahmadinejad may assert, the Holocaust did happen, and 6 million Jews were murdered. And - contrary to what "useful idiot" David Duke announced in Tehran - that gas chambers were never used on Jews. As crazy as Ahmadinejad & Co.'s contentions are, they do matter. James Robbins, a professor at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C .. recently wrote: "The Lenins, the Maos, the Pol Pots . . . al-e no differei1t than the types collected in Tehran. It is a mistake not to take such , people seriously, and not to accept that they · believe what they say they believe. The liberal impulse to discount the extremist, to rationali'ze his views, to refuse to take his threats literally, especially when he is in power, is itself a form of denial." Being hostile to Israel isn't necessarily a sign of anti-Semi6ism; but continually blaming Israel first might very well be. It's an instinct we see way too much of, and it reinforces true and dangerous antiSemites. Denial IS dangerous. The West has already learned that lesson haven't we?

He is being treated, and the rest of his immediate family was given antibiotics as well. I thought whooping cough was rare today because the vaccine is included in the childhood o,:accines. My sister says there are a number of cases in her area. · Is whooping COU!Jh making a comeback? Is II dangerous when a teenager gets it?. Answer: Whooping cough is known as pertussis in the medical field , because · it's caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. This infection was first described in the 1500's and remains a common childhood illness to this day. In 2002, there were 8;296 cases of pertussis reported in the United States. The incidence has been increasing steadily since the 1980's, perhaps because not enough people · g«;>t . timely· bposters. Pertussis, a highly contagious but vaccination-preventable illness, can last for several weeks. I.t gets its name from the characteristic "whooping" type of cough that it produces. This illness usually starts with a runny nose, low fever aiJd mild cough. When these symptoms first appear - a period known as the catarrhal stage - it is easy to confuse whooping cough with the common cold. In the second stage, the patient begins to have bursts of rapid coughing. There · .can by 10 or 15 of these in rapid succession, which doesn't allow time to take a breath. When the burst is finally over and a breath is . taken, it produ-ees the telltale high-pitched whoop. Violent coughing spells can last for $everal minutes, and. even cause the patient to tum blue. Sometimes the coughing leads to vomiting. This stage can last for several weeks, peaking in the .second or third week. The convalescent stage is when the cough becomes less frequent ·.and severe.

While most people make a full recovery from pertussis, it's more likely to have severe complications for small children who have smaller and less developed airways . . Seizures and inflammation of the brain encephalitis - can result from lack of oxygen to the brain due to the long bouts of coughing. Pneumonia can develop as well. These complications can lead to death, particularl y in infants under six months of age. . Once pertussis · is diagnosed, the treatment is to give antibioti cs to the patient and all close contacts. as your nephew's physician did. If any of my other. readers have children who have not been fully immunized, I'd suggest that you consult your family physician or pediatrician about completing their immunizations. There is a new immunization for adults and adolescents that is tetanus/diphtheria booster with an "acellular" pertussis vaccine added . This type of vaccine uses ortly the immunity stimula!ing parts of the bacterium and is less likely to · cause side effects. · The newest recommenda-. tion is to have this booster once in place of the usual tetanus/diphtheria vaccine.

He was sentenced to community ser: vice in 1997 and all charges were dropped against him five years later. Then there was the neverreleased rap album, whi~h drew criticism from civil rights groups and got Iverson a reprimand from NBA commissioner David Stern because of its offensive lyrics. "Don't get me wrong, there's some bad stories out there," Karl acknowledged. "As I told 'Melo when I got here, there's · some stories about me out there , too. There's a lot of positives. "One thing I hear on a consistent basis, his teammates love him. I think we need better chemistry on my basketball team. I think we need more leadership. I think we need more emotional maturity, I think we need some mental toughness, some intensity, an every game, every possession mentality. I think everything I said there, Allen Iverson has."

Your partner leads the heart ace, promising the king behind it. In what direction woutd you anticipate the defense proceeding? North's response of two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, promising at least four-card spade support and game..going values. South's four·spade rebid showed a minimum with no sidesuit singleton or vokt. When partner leads lhe ace from aceking and you ha~e 8! doubleton, .it is nor" .mal to play high-low. And most 'defend· ers would do that almost on ·autopilot. Watch what happens. West cashes lhe heart king and gives you a heart ruff, but that is the end ot the defense. South wins ·your club shift, draws trumPs. and discards his diamond loser on dummy's fourth club. You should see that ttle heart ruff wilt come at the cost of your natural trump trick. And a diamond shift by West at trick two must be good business. So. play your heart three under the ace. With luck, · partner wilt get the message and shift to a diamond. It declarer takes lhe diamond finesse, you win with your king and return the heart Bight. But South would probably win the diamond with dummy's ace, draw two rounds ot trumps, and start on the clubs. You trump the third club, cash your diamond king, and lead the heart eight. Your side gels one spade, two hearts and one diamond. AstroGraph 'lbur~: ' Thur&day.

Strike when the notion first hits you SAGITIARIUS (Nov. 23-0ec. 21)- Your reputation could be on ttle line concerning what and who you are. Don't promise more than you can deliver in an effort to make yourselt momentarily look larger than life. CAPRICORN (Oec. 22-Jan. 19) - Sell· dOubts and feelings of inadequacy could override those great abaities you have, causing you to behave In ways thai would generate a disregard for your obligations and duties. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Take . care not to be drawn· into an argument . with a friend over something that IS meaningless. You're easily· angered at this time and could quickly misinterpret what's being said. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Making a commitment before yoo've had a -chance to think it !hrough could work to your detriment Be careful no! to lOCk yourself in a box that has no key. ARIES (March 21-April ,9) - Usually. you're a rather industrious person, but you could be too scatterbrained to accomplish much of anything. If you focus on one thing, you'll be able to see things through. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)- Be careful · with whom you hang out. If you choose someone who is a loose cannon, be prepared tor a barrage of artillery to be aimed at ·you in response to your companion's tire.

Unfort'unately, you could be all thurrbs with yours being placed right under tne hammer. LEO (July 23-Aug . 22) - If you make a fau)( pas concerning your romantic affairs, things could quickly turn sour. That blt1er taste that inhabits your rrfouth will be the direct re sult of your own gatte. VIRGO (Aug. 23·:Sept. 22)- Any hint of someone attempting to place restraints on you is likely to result in an eKplosion upon the entire family. You 're not likely 1o be able to hold back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) - Your cus· tomary glib personality will not get you out of trouble but only put you in deeper. Further loquaciousness could come off as being condescending and pompous. SCORPIO (Oct . 24-Nov. 22) - AdOpling an unreasonable outlook on your financial picture could cause you to spend erratically and frivolously.

SAN DIEGO (AP.) -The most excitin~ ballcarrier on the field, at limes, was TCU quarterback Jeff Ballard. It certainly wasn't Northern Illinois' Garrett Wolfe. who ended his career looking more like a thirdstringer than the national rushing leader. Penned in by a hunch of tough Horned Frogs, Wolfe was held to 28 yards and No. 25 TCU won a Poinsettia Bowl mismatch against Northern lllinois 37· 7 on tuesday night. "We stopped him .. before he got started," said TCU end Tommy Blake, the lead~r of one of the nation's best defenses. ' The Horn~d Frogs stopped Garrett cold · and TCU 's offense" kept· honing back onto the tield. Ballard ran for three touchdowns and threw for another. Ballard' looked more like a running back as he scored on runs of 10. I and 6 yards. He NIU had terrible field position most of the night, and TCU brought its safeties close to the line to stuff the box against Garrett. "We did what we could but they were all over the place," Garrett said. "It gets frustrating but with the type of mind-set I have, the next play could be a big play. The opportunities came far and .threw a 6·yard TD pass to tight · end Brent Hecht and finished with 258 passing yards. There was a I00-yard rusher TCU's Lonta Hobbs, who had I09 yards and one TD on 18 carries. "You know, Garrett is a great back," NIU coach Joe Novak said. "But I don't care if you're S11perman, if you're nol getting them blocked, you're not going anywhere. We ~idn't block them well enough to give Garrett a chance." . Wolfe, a senior from Chicago, came in leading the nation with an average of 1583 ' yards rushing and 178.9 all·purpose yards. The Horned Frogs, though. were fourth nationally in run defense after allowing only 67.6 yards per game. TCU kept alive its string of not allowing a 100-yard. rusher, one of only feur teams to do so this year. Blake had two of TCU's five sacks. Friday.
