She's the woman who has been dating a married man for seven years and hopes he will leav.e his wife for her, despite the fact that he told her he won't because of his children. She asked if she should "sit tight and wait." She has already wasted seven years of her life. I hope she doesn't waste any more. She needs to get her act together and dump that bum. If she ever is unlucky enough to marry him, he will turn around, meet another woman and tell her the same lies. He's using his kids as an excuse. I bet when they find out what he's up to, they'll be glad to get rid of him, too.

The last increase raised rates from 45 to 50 cents. Council President Victor Young ill supports the rate increase because the revenue will be used to operate the new water treatment facility after it is built. If the ordinance fails, the village would have to pay for any additional expenditures involved in operating the facility. .

MU~T POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council member Todd Norton is undecided which way he will vote when a proposed water rate increase comes before council tonight. It would be the second rate increase in two years. As part of the loosely held majonty of four out of the six council members, Norton's vote may have added wei~ht. "I'm the swing vote,' he said. Norton said he has spent a lot of time listening to people in the past couple weeks. He · said a rate increase could be detrimental to many people living on fixed incomes in the community. "!' m worried about people scrounging around to pay their bills," he said. "I'm for the little man. That other dollar might go to the electric bill ." Council member Bryan Shank has consistently voted against a rate increase. For him, it is a matter of economics. 0 Using an example of a household that uses 4,100 gallons a month, a customer will pay $12 for the ftrSt 2,000 gallons plus 50 cenl~ per 100 gallons extra (2, 100 gallons). Add the additional $10.50 for the remaining 2,000 gallons and the total comes to $22.50. This figure does not include sewer costs, which are figured separately. Using the proposed rates, water costs $13 for the first 2,000 gallons and 55 cents for each I 00 gallons extra, Shank said.

"True, it is just a couple of dollars a month but the kicker is this - it is also a 9.1 percent increase in rates." Shank countered his critics who say that because Pomeroy has the lowest water rates in the area that an increase would just keep pace with the times. "If that is in fact true, I offer my congratulations to our water department employees and our village administrator and village clerk. But just because we have lower rates than communities in surrounding areas is not cause enough to justify raising them." "It would seem to me that perhaps we should slow down spending on projects instead of raising rates to cover them," he said. MILEs LAYTON Sandy larinarelli, as mayor of Middleport, signs a contract with Haynes Construction to replace the old slate roof on the freight station in Diles Park with a reproduction slate shingle one, the first phase of restoration. With lannarelli is Mary Wise of the citizens' group handling the project. (Charlene Hoeflich) Freight station restoration begins BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor MIDDLEPORT Preparations to start work on replacing the old slate roof on the century-old freight station in Diles Park with a reproduc· lion slate shingle one got underway Tuesday. Mayor Sandy lannarelli signed a contract with Haynes Construction at Monday night's meetin~ of Middleport Village Counc1l for $7,433.64 for the removal of the slate, doing the necessary structural repairs, and putting on the new roof. Workers were at the site Tuesday putting up scaffolding. The village purchased the station, built in 1899 by the Hocking Valley Railroad and later owned by the C&O Railroad, along with the area surrounding it in 1985. It has been maintained as a park. Please see Freight. AS Kmart spares Gallipolis store from closing, for now Index ; ~ :;;.: Currently, Pomeroy water rates are the lowest in the county. Customers tn Middleport pay approximately $8.14 for up to 2,000 gallons and $12.31 for sewage service. Senior citizens pay approximately $7.33 for up to 2,000 gallons and $11.08 for sewage service. Each customer also pays a $5 water improvement charge. On average, each customer pays at least $25.45 each month for water and sewage service. Senior citizens pay at least $23.41 each month. Young said that even with a simple rate increase, Pomeroy residents will pay less per month than those in Middleport by several doUars. "Nobody likes to pay more money for bills," Young said. "But, if you want something better for the community and the town, it's not going to be free."

Kmart employees pationally were informed Tuesday through a satellite broadcast which 326 stores in the chain will close as it struggles to regain its Share of the market in discount goods. Gallipolis store manager Roger Buck could not elaborate further on the announce· ment, and referred all inquiries to a corporate phone number for comment. "I can teU you we're not closing, but beyond that, I can't comment," he said. But employee Elsie Long of Crown City mirrored the relief of her fellow workers as she worked with customers at the service desk. "I' m definitely happy," she said as she fielded phone calls from the public about the store's fate. Long noted she and other employees were nervous about the closing announcement.

(AP)- From where he stands, Mike Wokaly cannot see how things have gotten any better over the past year in this bleak little Appalachian town of 700. Few new jobs are coming into this corner of southwestern Pennsylvania, where the unemployment rate is way over the national average and where many of the coal mines have shut down over the years. People sometimes pay for groceries with pocket change, or wha1ever they can scrounge up to feed their families. Federal funding for Fayette City could be cut this year because Washington no longer classifies them as distressed. "This area has not had any growth in five years. None," said Wokaly, a 70year-old retired teacher, truck driver and veteran who lives off his Social Security. "It's bad. Here, we have no economy. How they can cut subsidies to this valley is beyond me: Way beyond me." Thirty-two counties in the Appalachian region will be upgraded from distressed starus to transitional in the 2004 fiscal 'year, which begins Oct. I. The decisiori was t.nade by the Appalachian · Region'lll Commission, a federal-state panel created in 19Q'5 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, 'who declared his War on Poverty from the porch of a Kenrucky &hanty. Only .two-Appalachian counties will be downgraded from transitional to distressed status. The ARC provides money for projects such as job training, health clinics, roads, sewer lines and high-speed Intewet access. By law, half of all ARC funding must go to distressed areas. This year, ARC handed out $66 million to the 410 counties that make up the swath of Appalaehla that stretches from New John Ricker, right, owner of Ricker's Mart in Fayette City, Pa., listens to a cus· tamer.

RUSHER'S VIEW North Korea complicates W4Shington 5 anti-terrorplan There is no question that Kim Jong 11, by openly repudmtmg h1s commitments and proclaiming his intention to make North Korea a full-fledged nuclear power, has seriously complicated the Bush administration's attempt to defend this country against the threat of small but intensely hostile nations obtaining the power to inflict unacceptable damage on us. Bush has identified three such nations (the "Axis of Evil") - Iraq, North Korea and Iran - and chose Iraq to be the first to be disarmed by force tf necessary. Kim Jong 11, not unreasonably, suspects that North Korea will be the second. So he has chosen the present moment, wllen the United States is preoccupied with preparing an overwhelmmg attack on Iraq, to seek to increase t~e number of nuclear weapons under h1s control (he is already thoughi to have one or two). He is not believed to have the capacity, yet, to deliver these aga1~st the U.S. mainland, but he could certamly drop one (or more) on Japan which the United States would regard a~ equally intolerable. Even if the coming attack on Iraq did not. complicate the picture, Bush's options for dealing w1th North Korea would be unpleasantly few. We might conceivably be able to knock out North Korea's fragile nuclear capability by a pre-emptive strike, but only at the cost . of seemg South Korea invaded and ··Seoul occupied, by North K~rean forces.

The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, January 15, 2003 what way will we be better off when there are two such nations, rather than · one? Under the circumstances Bush ·is doing the only thing he can do: seeking to mobilize diplomatic pressures (meaning largely China and Russia) to slow down North Korea's drive to enhance its nuclear. capability. He has, however, nghtly relused to '~nego,tiate" w1th North Korea, as Kim Jong ll has demanded, insisting instead that North !<orea must live up to the commitments It has made. We are not going to let them sell that rug to us twice. Meanwhile, more American troops ~e '!loved into ·the Middle .East, and the; mev1table attack on Iraq draws closer. Presumably Washington will wait until the U.N. inspectors make their next report to the Security Council on Jan. 27. After that, tbmgs wlll move with greater speed. If the inspe,ctors report that they have found nothing, other efforts to persuade the Security Council ~f Saddam Hussein 's deception are likely. In due course, the council will decide whether a military response is warranted or not. Whatever it decides one will be forthcoming. ' Once Iraq is rid of Saddam and his re11ime, the problem of North Korea will be up for urgent consideration. W1th the example of Saddam to contemplate, Kim Jong ll may think the better of defiance, even if he has a few nukes to bargain with . ••• Trustees to meet Wholesale prices flat in December WASHINGTON (AP) Wholesal~, prices were flat in December as falling prices for . cars and computers offset higher prices for gasoline and other energy products, further evidence that inflation isn't a problem for the economy. The flat reading in the . Producer Price Index came after wholesale prices fell by 0.4 percent in November, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. The latest snapshot of wholesale prices continued to show that inflation is not a danger to the nation's economy, which is struggling to get back to full health after being knocked out by the 200 I recession. The fact that inflation has remained under control is one of the reasons the Federal Reserve has been able to keep short-tenn interest rates at low levels in an effort to spur economic growth. "Inflation is dead and · buried," said economist Clifford Waldmari, president of Waldman Associates. Wednesday's PPI figures surprised economists. Many were forecasting wholesale prices to go up by OJ percent m December from the previous month. Excluding energy and food prices, which can swing widely from month to month, "core" wholesale prices dipped by 0.3 percent in December for the second straight month. That reading also was better than the small 0.1 percent rise that analysts had predicted. On Wall Street, stocks feU on mixed earnings news from Intel.

In Kentucky, a striker was killed by a police car. Union officials said about 20,000 members of the International Union of Electronic Workers/ Communications Workers of America and the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America were participating in the strike, which began at 12:0 I a.m. Tuesday. GE spokesman Gary Sheffer said at company headquarters in Fairfield, Conn. , that about 17,500 employees were involved in the strike, which he said was affecting operations at plants across the nation.

The De seret News and MediaNews-owned Salt Lake Tribune, which coexist in the same market and have shared a joint operating agreement for five decades, had been handcuffed by a legal challenge from the McCarthey family, the Tribune's former owners.

The McCarthey family's plan to repurchase the Tribune was blocked last summer by the Deseret News, which vetoed the sale and instead allowed MediaNews Group to buy the paper. The McCartheys challenged that veto power, but Stewart ruled against them.

(AP) - About 300 students were denied access to their dormitories on Penn State University's main campus this week because they didn't comply with a new state law requiring meningitis vaccinations. The law, passed last summer, requires that students who live on campus be vaccinated or sign a waiver saying they understand the risks and choose not to be vaccinated. Several other states have similar laws. The students who were denied access had been told of the requirement several times last semester but didn ' t return their form s before dorms opened Sunday for the spring semester, said Kathy Krink s, assistant director of assignment operations for Penn State Universitv Housing.

RACINE - Behind a 45 point second half effort and a strong defensive stand the fir st half, the Southern Tornadoes rolled to a 76-48 non-league win over the South Gallia Rebels Tuesday night in Southern's Hayman Gymnasium. Southern · is now 7-3 on the season. Southern was led in scoring by dual 17 -point efforts from senior post Justin Connolly and sophomore guard Craig Randolph. Both had equally dazzling games, along with senior guard Jordan Hill who notched I5 points in another good floor game with eight assists. All of Connolly's points came in the second half. Curtis Neigler became the fourth Tornado to hit double fi~ures with II points, dnlling three three-pointers along the way. Other Southern scorers were Curt Crouch with six, Wes Burrows four, Jake Nease four, and Jamie Coleman two. South Gallia was led in scoring by Jason Merrick with 15 points and Curtis Waugh with 13. Hayes Lester added seven, Brandon Caldwell six, David Bayless four, Josh Waugh two. and Zach Lee one. Southern used a trapping full-court and half-court defense to force nine first period turnovers from the Rebels. Southern went up 72 and 11-4 prompting Rebel coach Mitch Meadows to burn to early time outs to keep his club on the right track. Southern's defense maintained its intensity, but its offense went flat at the end of the frame. Still, SHS behind a 6, 5, 4 scoring effort from Randolph, Hill, and Crouch respectively raced to a 15-4 first penod lead. Caldwell and Merrick were the lone SGHS scorers. In the second canto, Southern continued its great defense as South Gallia ended the half with 12 turnovers, down somewhat from the first frame, but still staggering for one half of play. Despite the SHS pressure, South Gallia did not quit and hung around to make a run in the second half. Randolph hit an old-fash- ioned 3-pointer, then drained a three to give SHS some breathing room and Hill drove the lane for a runner. Neigler then ignited new life in the Tornadoes with a pair of consecutive threes. Rebel standout Merrick hit a couple inside jumpers and a follow-up jumper for six points, while Caldwell added four. Southern raced to a 30- I 5 lead at the half, prompting Southern coach Jonathan Rees to praise his club's defensive effort. "That's our best defensive effort of the year. This is a team that scored in the 70's against us the first time around and we held them to IS at the half. Our defense is starting to win us games," said Rees. The decisive blow in the gatrte came when Southern hammered home 21 points in the third period. Connolly nailed down II points in the frame, while Jamie Coleman, Randolph, Hill, and Crouch contributed. Curtis 1Waugh and Josh Waugh went 4-4 and 2-2 from the line, while Merrick canned a three for South Please see Southern. Bl Pro football Lewis gets long-awaited job·with NFL:s worst team CINCINNATI (AP) Marvin Lewis pulled out of consideration at Michigan State last month because he desperately wanted a head coaching job in the NFL. He's getting the one that breaks careers. Lewis was hired as the Cincinnati Bengals' ninth head coach on Tuesday, ending two years of waiting for a top job. Now, the architect of one of the NFL's greatest defenses will try to revive its worst team. Four coaches have failed to produce even one winning record during the Bengals' term as the league's most pitiful franchise, dating to 199 I. Dick LeBeau was fired after a 2-14 season, the worst in team history. "Before you win, you have to learn how to win," Lewis said Tuesday night "Or · more importantly, you have to learn not to lose.'

"It 's tough to project, when he's never played in this , league before," Torre said. : " He's going to have to get • :adj usted.· Robb1e Alomar had : trouble last year switching : teams in the same country." : • Matsui isn't just a player, he's a symbol o( Japanese baseball . Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani sent him a handwritten note welcoming him to the city, and he appeared on David Letterman ' I,} ' to read the "Top 10" list for Tuesday night's show. The news conference was televised li-ve in the United States on the Yankees' YES Network and beamed back to Japan, where it was 2 a.m. Wednesday. Yoshihiro Nishida, Japan's counsel general in New York, was on the podium. In all, 12 people sat alongside Matsui oo the dais - four more than the Yankees' current total of starting pitchers. "Spend a lot of money," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told him. "Goodness, we need the sales-tax revenue. If -oeorge is ever going to get a new stadium, you 'II have to spend a lot." Bloomberg, who grew up a fan of the Boston Red Sox, mispronounced the new star's name, calling him "HiDEEK-i" rather than "HiDECK-i" and also stumbled over the name of Matsui's former team, the Yomiuri Giants. Matsui, speaking ttlrough a tmnslator, said he would learn English. For now, his best buddy on the Yankees will be second baseman Alfonso Soriano, a Dominican who played in Japan as a teenager and learned the language. "I would like to try as hard as possible to be one of the team members of the New York Yankees and to be accepted in the city," Matsui that has produced a .304 career average with 332 homers and 889 RB!s in I ,268 games. He has hit .300 or more in four straight seasons, with at least 36 homers and 95 Rats. He's walked 100 or more times in four of the last five years, and his addition makes it likely New York will lead the major leagues in ruris once again. The Yankees' clubhouses in Tampa, Fla., and the Bronx figure to be even more crowded, with dozens of Japanese reporters recording Godzilla's every move while Torre figures out how to make eight starting pitchers fit into fiVe slots. With his left-handed swing and Yankee Stadium's short porch, he could become as big a star as Jeter, Soriano, Jason Giambi , Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera and all those starting pitchers. But Matsui wants to be more than a ballplayer. "If I could somehow act as an ambassador between the two countries in terms of baseball," he said, "I would really be honored." Torre looks at Matsui and Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki - the 200 I AL MVP - and says the influx of talent from Japan is improving the level of play. "The game got better in 1947, too, when a guy named Jackie Robinson started changing things," he said. said. Matsui arrived Thursday from Japan to get a physical and complete details of the contract, and he planned to return home Wednesday. One of the first things he did in New York was to visit the World Trade Center site. "I still can't believe something like that happened," he said. "It does hurt my heart." On hi s first day in pinstripes, he gave all the right answers. "Today has been one of the happiest days of my life," he said. "To be able to come to this beautiful city, New York, and to be able to play for tl\e Yankees, the most beloved team in the city, I am really happy to be here. I want to do everything I can to help the Yankees win the World Series championship." Torre took a redeye flight from Maui to St. Louis, then caught a connection to White Plains, went home for a shower, shave and a change into coat and tie, and went straight to J ,he news conference. The manager heads right back to Hawaii on Friday for two more weeks of sun and golf. "I thought it was important," Torre said when asked why he came home for the day.

It's only mid(AP) January, yet Pittsbur~h's dominance of West Virgmia left Mountaineer coach John Beilein wondering how far the Panthers can go in the postseason. No. 3 Pittsburgh held West Virginia to a season-low 40 percent shooting Tuesday in beating the night Mountaineers 80-61. "I'm not going to put a hex on them or predict anything, but they show lot of qualities that I've seen in some of the teams that went a long way in March," Beilein said . "Their defense is just beauti· ful." Before any trophies are handed out, Pittsburgh (13-1, 3-0 Big East) will be pressed just to win the conference championship. Last year it also started the season 13-1 but eventually lost in the title game to Connecticut in dou ble overtime. With all five starters back from last year, no one is surprised by the Panthers' success so far. "We have a veteran team, a a PITTSBURGH (AP) Jerome Bettis' future with the Pittsburgh Steelers is in doubt following a second straight injury-interrupted season. In a surprising development only three days after their season ended, coach Bill Cowher said Tuesday that the Steelers are weighing their options not just with benched quarterback Kardell Stewart but with Bettis as well. The Steelers have been expected to trade or release Stewart since he lost his starting job to Tommy Maddox three months ago. But there had been no previous indication that they were considerin~ a similar move with Bett1s, the lOth leading rusher in NFL history. "We are going to have to talk about the direction and the options we have in regards to those players," Cowher said. "We have to sit down and look at the direction we are going, as it relates to our roster and caP.. That is something that w11I be taking place in the upcoming weeks." Bettis will have arthroscopic surgery Jan. 27 to repair tom cartilage in his left knee. The Steelers previously said Bettis only had a mild tear of the medial collateral ligament. Bettis injured the knee early in the second half Oct. 21 against Indianapolis. He missed four games because of the injury and did not have a I00-yard game after gettin!f hurt. Bettis' 666 yards were the second lowest total of his career, and he had only 5 yards on four carries in two playoff games, including Saturday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Titans. He was limited to one I00-yard game all season , gaining 109 against Cincinnati on Oct. 13. "I was nowhere near I00 percent," Bettis said. "It was just a matter of how much pain I could endure. I'm on one leg." If tlie Steelers decide they cannot risk paying Bettis $2.75 million next season because of health issues, it would be the second time in four years they cut one of their signature players. They released longtime Pro Bowl center Dermontti Dawson after the 2000 sea- season. "In order for us to stay in the game, we had to be efficient and we weren't in any way," Beilein said. Pittsburgh shot 63 percent from the floor - including I 0-of-18 from 3-point range - and held a double-digit lead throughout the second half to win its fourth straight since losing at Georgia on Dec. 31. team that's been there before, a team that understands how to win on the road ," said Pittsburgh coach Ben Howland.

Meanwhile, second-seeded Venus Williams returned to form Wednesday, regularly unleashing winners off her backhand to earn a 6-3. 6-0 victory over 21 -year-old Ansley Cargill. Venus, who lost the final s at the French, Wimbledon and U.S. Open to younger sister Serena last year, started slowly in her opening round at Melbourne Park. But against Cargill, ranked No. 118, she was never in trouble.

But he has spent significant time on the sidelines the last two seasons with groin (2001) and knee (2002) .problems. Bettis signed a $30 million, six-year contract in 2001 that included a $6.5 million signing bonus. If the Steelers cut Bettis, they must count .the remaining $4.4 million of his prorated signing bonus under the ca£. 'There are a lot of questions that people ha·ve in regard to not JUSt whether they (Bettis and Stewart) will come back, but the roles they will play," Cowher said. Bettis said he didn't have surgery immediately after getting hurt because the Steelers had only one healthy and experienced running back, Amos Zereoue. "It was one of those situations where you had to gut it out for the team," Bettis said. "That wasn't a problem. I did that. I' II have that cleaned up and I' II be ready." Bettis is lOth in NFL history with II ,542 yards rushing, with 8,451 yards coming with Pittsburgh. Zereoue took advantage of Bettis' absence to lead the team with 762 yards, plus 122 in two playoff games. Bettis gained 340 rards in I 0 games after gettmg hurt, and has only 13 yards in three playotf games the last two seasons . "I've never expected to come in and assume the job was mine," Bettis said. "I've always told the guys behind me to take my job. That's always been the attitude I' ve taken. If someone outworks me, they should get it." Cowher urged Bettis during the coach's annual season-ending meetings with his 'players Monday to get healthy and come into camp in shape. By season 's end, Bettis appeared to weigh more than hi s listed 255 pounds, possibly because he practiced only sporadically after getting hurt.

AEP, state reach Old schools expected to accord on Gavin be vacated by mid-summer BY KEVIN KELLY POMEROY- Plans for transfel'fhtg ownership or demolishing school buildings to be abandoned when the new Meigs Middle and Elementary schools are completed this summer were made at Wednesday night's meeting of the Meigs Local School Board. The schools will be vacated at the end of the school year, and it is anticipated that the ownership transfers will be complet, ed by mid-summer. The board adopted a resolution of intent setting forth terms of the transfers as follows: Meigs Middle and Middleport Elementary Schools will go to Middleport Village; Bradbury Elementary School to the AthensMeigs Educational Service Center; Harrisonville Elementary Pomeroy and the Elementary schools to the Meigs County commissioners; and Salem Center Elementary to the landowner, Richard D. Macomber of Langsville, accordinjl to a provision of the anginal deed. The Rutland Elementary School is the oi'lly'school which -»111 tie demolished . The land will then be transferred to the Rutland Volunteer Fire Department. The Salisbury building will be retained by the school district and used for administrative offices and storage. The plan is to completely renovate the building before moving in. Superintendent William Buckley said that one rea" son for having the school board adopt the resolu· lion of intent to transfer the buildings is to be sure "the Ohio School Facilities Commission and the district are on the same page insofar as demolition money is concerned." "This will allow us to pretty much get etched in stone with the OSFC what's going to happen to the buildings.

The middle school building will be turned over to a citizens group and the Middleport Planning Commisswn , which are now working on ways to attract an institution of higher learning into the community. The two buildings which the Meigs County commissioners will accept from the board also have designated purposes.

James M. Gavin Power Plant AEP will pay the state $40,000 as part of the agreement, which AEP officials noted includes no admission of violations or liability by the Columbus-based utility giant Following inspections by OEPA and citizen complaints, the agency documented more than 60 reported and unreported leaks from Gavin's fly ash handling system over 47 separate days between August 200 I and June 2002. On some days, the agency said, more than one leak occurred. AEP said the leaks were caused by wear in components of the fly ash handling system. The system includes five miles of piping in trenches on Gavin property. The system pneumatically delivers fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal, from Gavin's boiler operations to storage silos on plant property. AEP said in a news release Wednesday the leaks "at no time .presented any environmental or health risk to employees or community residents." The company has since oorrected the leaks, Gavin Manager Greg Massey said. "Once the problem was identified, we put together an expanded, aggressive preventative maintenance plan, which was submitted to the Ohio EPA for review and concordance, to address the problem," said Massey. "We continued to work with the agency and are pleased that our cooperative plan appears to have successfully addressed~ problems we were experiencmg," he added. 'The fly ash handling system has been oper, ating normally since June 2002, and no further corrective actions have been ordered by the Ohio EPA." In its announcement of the settlement, OEPA said the company's actions "appear to have successfully addressed the leaks from the system." Paul Stinson, president of Citizens Against Pollution, a group of Cheshire-area residents living near Gavin seeking tighter environmental enforcement on it and other coal-burning power plants, found .fly ash leakage the least of the problems associated with plant Pleese IH AEP, A5 Reedsville man ... pleads guilty to .:· seooK budget c:n4tflil· vehicular homicide . for new bus ga~ag~~:;;/ I. · B:v CHARLINE HOIFUCH News editor · '1 POMEROY _ A b'l,ldget of $600,000 for ... construction of a bus garage behind the new Meigs Local Elementary School was approved by the Meig·s Local School Board · Wednesday ·night.
