I remarried one year ago and couldn't wait to have my new husband:s first baby. My problem IS, I am not as excited about having this child as I was my first. Don't get me wrong, I love this baby, but I expected to be more ''thrilled" - and I' rn not. I also feel I am all alone in this ~reg~an9. Although he hasn I satd 11, I suspect my husbimd is repulsed by the am<;~unt of weight I have .g ained. (I am in my seventh . month.) I am embarrassed to talk to my doctor about this fpr fear he will think I am a f!ad person. Is there something wrong with me? Help! - WOR· RIED MOM IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR WORRIED MOM: Needing support is not being a bad person. Your problem is thai you have clammed up at the very time you should be speaking out. It iS normal for a pre~nant woman to have insecuriues. It also is not uncommon for someone who has already had one pregnancy to feel less excited about her second. You should discuss these feelings Dear Abby ADVICE with both your husband and your doctor. Please don't worry. You will love your children in different ways- but equally. DEAR ABBY: ..ham 25 and a registered nurse.' For three years I've been in a live-in relationship with "Herb." He is 10 years my senior. I have a history of depression, anxiety and binge drinking. I turned to alcohol when I got depressed over my father's death from a massive heart attack five years ago. I also drink because of lack of love and compassion from my mate. Herb is unemployed and spends most of his time in front of the computer. If I have so much as a cocktail to wind down after a 12-hour shift, he withholds affection. I feel isolated. I'm afraid he will become angry if I stop for a drink with my ·colleagues after work. Herb never asks me how my day was. I know I have probk rns, but it would be nice to feel supported. He has been physicall~ abusive .on multiple occasmns. Is there any hope for me, Abby? DOWN IN THE DEPTHS IN COLORADO DEAR DOWN IN THE DEPTHS: Yes, there is. But first you must accept that you have a drinking problem and seek other avenues for resolving your depression. Speak to your doctor and get a referral for treatment. That said, your drinking is no excuse for Herb to abuse you. Your life will improve as soon as you rid yourself of him. DEAR ABBY: I am 21 and recently had a baby with "Danny," a guy I've never exactly dated, yet we continue to sleep together. He's gone through two girlfriends since I've known him, but he always comes back to me. I love Danny, but I know the feeling is not mutual. Should I try to get over him and move on, or should I hang in with the man I love? - WISHING AND HOP· lNG IN DELAWARE DEAR WISHING AND HOPING: Please see a counselor. You need to explore you have allowed yoursel to be treated so poorly. Since Danny has never given you any reason to think you are anything more than a nocturnal convenience, it is best that you move on. However, before you do so, consult a lawyer about establishing child support and visitation because Danny does not appear to be a person who will shoulder his obligations willingly. CONFIDENTIAL TO "GUILTY AND ASHAMED": Please stop punishing yourself over a relationship that ended 50 years ago. Appreciate the fine husband you have and those who love you. If you can't let go, get counseling so you can fully enjoy the reality you have - instead of grieving over a 1950s teenage fantasy.

Police Chief Mark Proffitt said at least three people have been victimized by phone calls from persons falsely claiming to be Pomeroy police offic.ers. ~ On Sunday, ,an individual received a phone calf with a disturbing message from someone claiming to be the Pomeroy chief of police. The caller told the person who answered about a terrible accident involving a loved one. The caller described the accident scene where the vic· tim's mother was found dead, a bullet wound to the head, and then asked that a family member come and identify the mother's body. Proffitt Proffitt said the person receiving the phone call was frantic as anyone would be. It department took time to find out it was a hoax. "Playing with people 's emotions is a vicious crime," he said. T h e police chief said his would never inform a relative by phone about an accident of this nature. Either he or another officer would personally visit the home with news of this magnitude. Not satisfied with only one victim's misery, the perpitrator then called an unsuspect· ing mother and father later Sunday -and told them about an accident involving their daughter.

The company has appealed the order to the Environmental Review Appeals Commission, which set a hearing for Tuesday on a request to stop the ~hutdown during the appeal. "Never in the history of the U.S. has there been a shutdown of this magnitude," said Charlie Olentine, editor of "Egg Industry" magazine. Disposal would likely require composting, burial or incineration, said Don Bell, a retired poultry specialist with the University of California Extension service. "That's an enormously big problem for that number of birds," he said. Disease outbreaks in the 1970s and 1980s forced the destruction of up to 12 mil- lion hens in California and 17 million in Pennsylvania, but never from one farm. according to Bell and the federal Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. "One barn every two weeks fits into our normal cycle," Doyle said. The state · order is for two barns in a week - four times as fast. That would require the slaughter of about 350,000 chickens weekjy in che company"s northwest Ohio barns, which must be emptied first, and about 200,000 weekly at smaller barns at company headquarters in Croton, Doyle said. . Buckeye Egg already has stopped replenishing barns with new chicks, but its usual processors of dead birds say they can't take the excess on such shon notice, Doyle said. "If we had no other custamers, we could take them all," said Gus Wintzer, president ofG.A. Wintzer and Son Co., a livestock rendering the eggs, which came from chickens injected with antibodies. · Kaminski said his role in Ovlmmune Inc. was ceremonial and chat he did not draw a salary. When shown a $10,000 Ov Immune cneck that. was made out to him, Kaminski said it was for expenses. Cassandra Lira testified Wednesday that she bought some egg powder from Coleman and it helped improve the memory and responsiveness of her husband who had Alzheimer's disease. His memory worsened when he stopped using the egg powder, Lira said. The Federal Drug Administration ordered Ovimmune to stop selling the powder last year. The indictment charges Coleman with selling plastic bags of the pale yellow powder to undercover officers. One bought $200 wonh for his rheumatoid arthritis and the other $25 worth to treat his wife's toenail fungus. Coleman, 57, and Kaminski Cooking areas are usually not as clean or sanitary as they would be if the food was being cooked inside the home, and handwashing facilities may not be available. To help combat these problems, clean and sanitize cooking areas and grill grids thoroughly. Use anti-bacterial soaps and cleaning products or cover grids with foil. Always wash hands after going to the bathroom, changing a diaper, blowing your nose, or handling ani· mals by using anti-bacterial · soaps or pre-moistened towelettes. Use.spoons or tongs to serve chips and pretzels from a common bowl. Be especially careful to avoid cross-contamination of foods. Wrap raw meats tightly to avoid juices from coming in contact with cooked foods. Place these foods in the bottom of the cooler'. Never use the same plate or utensils for cooked food that you used for uncooked food without first washing them in hot soapy water. Using a marinade as a basting sauce can also cause crosscontamination. If you want to intensify the flavor of the tenderized meat, reserve some of the marinade BEFORE putting the meat in it. Always marinate in the refrigerator II is a good idea to have two insula1ed coolers, one for drinks and the other for chilled food. That way the chilled food cooler won't be susceptible to frequent openings, causing the temperature in the cooler to rise above 40 degrees. Wash cans, bottles. fresh fruits and vegetables · thoroughly before packing. Chill cold foods before putting them in che cooler. Start packing the cooler with BY BECKY BAER Contributor company in Wapakoneta. "These other customers are regular customers; we'd have to take them first." Another option- advocaled in a leteer to the Agriculture Department from People for .the Ethical Treatment of Animals - is enclosing the birds and suffoeating them with nonpoisonous gases. Sandy Rowland, director of the Humane Society of the United States' Great Lakes office in Bowling Green said there's no way to humanely euthanize millions of animals. Another possible way to stop the closure is for a sale to go through. The permit application by Ohio Fresh Eggs to take over the Croton barns remains incomplete, Abbott said. Once a completed permit goes through technical review, which has no set timeframe, approval usually takes three more months, she said. · · It's picnic time! What can you do ensure an outdoor meal free of food poisoning? Keep these recommendations in mind: · Always have the slogan ·"Keep hot foods hot, cold .foods cold" foremost in your mind. Never leave hot or cold . foods out at room temperature for more than two hours. If che temperature is above 90 .degrees, one hour is the maxi.mum length of time. Why is this so important? Bacteria that is present in naeure - in the soil, air, water and on bodies - grow faster in the "Danger Zone," che range of -temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Since baC1eria also need moisture to multiply, the hot, humid days of summer are ideal for this microbial growth. Improper temperatures also _pose problems in other ways. One concern is that food is being prepared in surround'ings that don't have adequate refrigeration or air-conditioning. Another issue is that it can be difficult to maintain proper, consistent temperatures with outdoor grills and campfires. To prevent some of these situations from spoiling yQur picnic, check inter· nal temperatures of the food often with thermometers to make sure they stay out of the :"Danger Zone." Never par· .tially cook a food, then take it .to the campsite or picnic area to finish cooking. This lapse in high temperatures encour,ages rapid bacterial growth. .If there is any doubt about how long a cold or hot food has been left out, throw it out. Cleanliness is another con· cern for outdoor meals. Surgeon accused of deceptively selling powdered-egg product as.disease cure testifies COLUMBUS (AP) - A plastic surgeon accused of illegally ascribing healing powers to his company's powdered eggs said he "stretched it" by connecting his product to the recovery of a tuberculosis patient, but said he never attempted ·to mislead consumers or the government. Dr. Mitchell Kaminski testi· tied Wednesday in U.S. DistriC1 Court that he did not perfonn any drug s~dies on the eggs, and that the eggs were market· ed as a food supplement. Prosecutors have said that Marilyn Coleman and Kaminski told people the egg powders could cure and prevent disease, including treating yeast infections, autism, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS. The defendants ignored federal rules that .consider food supplements to be drugs - and thus subject to a rigorous approval process - when they are advenised as treating a disease, prosecutors said. Kaminski and Coleman are accused of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and to distribute an unapproved and misbranded drug with intent to defraud. ·· On Wednesday, Prosecutor Deborah Solove questioned Kaminski about a statement· written by him saying the product helped a man overcome his tuberculosis and regain his appetite. Kaminski said the 'claim was about one case, which did not amount to a study. Studies are required for drug approval. Kaminski said he should not have included the isolat· ed case in information about formed Ovlmmune i"fn 1993. She has said she sou,;ht legal advice from the FDA on what she needed to do legally to market her product. After receiving no response, she relied on a 1998 letter from the . U.S. Department of Agriculture that the egg powder was a ,nutritional supplement, not' a drug.

Insulated plastic coolers will keep food colder than ones made of styrofoam. Don't keep the cooler in the trunk of the car. Place it in a sleeping bag or wrap it in newspaper. then move it to the shade. Replenish the ice often. If you are hiking, be certain you can keep enough ice in the cooler to keep the foods cold until they are ready to be cooked and/or served. If this cannot be guaranteed, choose foods that don't require refrigeration - canned stews, soups, or dried meals, peanut butter, cereal, trail mixes, or fresh fruits and vegetables. Chill insulated jugs before adding cold foods. If the jug is going to be used to keep foods hot, rinse it first with boiling water. Never drink or cook with water that isn't known to be safe. Use bottled water instead. Fish will perish quickly, so clean and wash the fish, then cook it immediately for dinner. If the fish isn't going to be eaten right away, it should be wrapped tightly and kept in a cooler filled with ice for no more than 24 hours.

POMEROY- Homeowners, ~you having problems ridding your property of organic material? Try composting the weeds. sticks, plant clippings and leaves you collect from your land~cape. Compostin~ is a natural way of converting organic yard wastes using soil organisms and microbes into organic matter. Many homeowners try a thn;e-bin compost method. Each bin should be between three to five feet high and wide. This allows sufficient volume, so oxygen and moisture level s may be retained. Bins may be made from hog wire, cement block, pallets or snow fencing. Initially the yard waste is chopped into small (less than 2 inch square pieces) and layered into the first bin, alternating organic material with a thin layer of previously composted material or good soil with plenty of micro-organisms. If yard waste is dry, add water to the bin. Yard waste composting depends on proper moi sture, air temperature, particle size and amounts of various organic waste levels. Too much or' insufficient moisture may kill off the aerobic organisms breaking down the organic material. Large quantities of oxygen are needed by the microbe organisms to break down the waste products into their components. Insufficient air will kill off the microbes. The compost bin works better with outside air tempera- tures between 50 and 80 field edges, but also dee~r in degrees F.

(AP) - Larry Lexvold doesn't have a bald head. rippling muscles or a hoop earring. Still, he's Mr. Clean. The dairy farmer continually sweeps the stalls of his barn • . removes excrement soon after it hits the floor and constantly reapplies sawdust bedding for his herd. Lex void's diligence in fighting an invisible foe, somatic cells, earned him an additional $9,000 last year. Many of Minnesota's other dairy farmers, who already struggle with low prices, would do well to learn from Lexvold. They lose an estimated $53 million annually due to high somatic cell counts - a quality indicator tha~ dairy processors use 10 set price - in their cows' milk. The problem is so acute Minne sota has the worst sec average among the nation's top I0 dairy states - that state agriculture' officials are launching a campaign to improve milk quality and, in turn, fatten farmer's wallets. Somatic cell counts are the measure of dead white blood cells in milk. High concentrations affect shelf life and the quality of milk products, especially cheese. Higher counts equal lower prices, sometimes by as much as $2 per hundred pounds of milk. Cows with high counts also produce less milk. With prices near a 30-year low, state Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson says farmers need to look anywhere and everywhere to earn extra money. "Farmers themselves can't necessarily control the price they get for milk, but, on the other hand, there are things they can do that affect their bottom line," Hugoson says. "Certainly you don't want to get any deductions from what you possibly could get." State inspectors and processors plan to distribute about 6,500 packets explain;ng to farmers the effects of high somatic cell counts and how to prevent , them . Officials also plan semmars throughout July. "There 's a perception there that our milk is bad,:' says Hugoson, who emphasizes somatic cells pose no health risk to humans. '1n reality, there's no bad milk that gets to consumers, but there is certainly a quality issue that affects our efficiency. ... It really affects perception at the consumer level that our farmers aren't doing perhaps what they could be doing." Experts say likely explanations for Minnesota's woes include poor sanitation, poor p~e-milking preparation, and retention of high-SCC cows that should be culled. Dirty cows tend to get sick more and their immune systems create more white blood cells. Improving hygiene, experts say, is as simple as diligently cleaning equipment, housing and the cows themselves. "It comes down to attention to detail," says Gabe Gieske. who works for the Minnesota Dairy Herd Improvement Association in Buffalo. "No matter what size dairy you are, you have to be willing to pay attention to detail." Of course, lowering SCC is just one way farmers can ·improve price. Farmers cim focus on raising butter fat, protein levels or other solids for a better price. But University of Minnesota animal sciences professor Jeff Reneau says lowering sec is the easiest and sometimes most costeffective method because it also increases production. Lex void says he's heen fixated on hygiene since he started his Goodhue farm in 1976. He aggressively cleans, shelters his herd from the summer heat and - as regular as changing oil in a car - conducts checkups on all of his milking equipment. The result: Lexvold's 60 cows each yield about 30,000 pounds of milk a year with a somatic cell count usually around 100,000 per milliliter. Minnesota's average cow produces 17,300 pounds and has a 384,000 averag~. Lexvold figures that earned him an extra $9,000 last year. He says: "It isn't that lucrative a business that we can be lax." Court rejects California farmers' Wheat bounty helps drought- petition to delay pollution rules plagued town begin recovery · TRIBUNE, Kan. (AP) On a day when his equipment broke down three times as he tried to work a just-harvested wheat field, Dan Braddock still had plenty to be happy about. After two years of drought left him with land that would bare! y grow weeds, this summer is a different story on Braddock's western Kansas farm.

Downtown is bustling with tralfic as a steady stream of grain trucks wind their way to the elevators . .Restaurants are full of custom harvesters.

Even the farmers' trips to town to repair broken equip-' ment is good news for implement dealers. who grew used io seeing tractors and farm trucks idled during three years of withering drought. : . :'The whole of the economy is going to get a big boost from this harvest," said Joe Horton, manager at the Farmco grain elevator. "We live by the trickle-down theo• ry: if the fanners don't make any money, they get extremely tightfisted." Nationally, the biggest drought problem remains in the western United States. And even in states where the picture is improving mcluding Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota- recovery will take years, said Dr. Donald Wilhite, director of the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb. In Kansas' Greeley County, farmers planted about 282,000 acres of wheat, 'far above the 175,000 typical in non-drought years, because they needed a cover crop to keep barren topsoil from blowing away in the state's harsh winter wind. Almost all of those acres minus about I0 percent damaged by hail - are expected to be harvested in the coming days. The grain already coming in is of good quality, almost all of it averaging above the benchmark of 60 pounds a bushel. In a single day, the .Farmco elevator in nearby Seikirk took in 35,000 bushels - more wheat than it took in during the entire harvest last year, Horton said. For Bingo Pl11yers 'l"'la18dar July 1'1111 Pomeroy To survive the long drought, Farmco cut work hours and left nine jobs. unfilled -about a quarter of its workforce - when people quit or retired. The company's convenience store employs a dozen people, down from 22. In January this year, losses at the elevator were $731 ,000, he said. It will take two to three years to recover, Horton said. The only thing that save~ farmers from going under was crop insurance. Some $20 million in crop insurance .was paid out last year in Greeley County alone, said Gus Rowe, vice president of the Tribune bank and a farmer himself. But that didn't help Main Street. Cash-strapped farmers didn't buy fertilizer or fuel for failed crops, nor did they spend much in town. SAN FRANCISCO (AP)A federal appeals court on Tuesday denied a petition filed by California farmers seeking to deJa~ federal rules regulating agnbusiliess air pollution. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the attempt by the California Farm Bureau to seek a the U.S. review of Environmental Protection Agency's regulations. Until Tuesday's ruling,. California farmers have heen exempt from needing pollution permits and having to control fumes from fuel-powered irrigation pumps and methane gas from animal waste. "This decision just confirms the message from EPA that California must remove its agricultural exemption," said Anne Harper, a staff attorney with Oaklandbased Earthjustice. The environmental law group joined the litigation on the side of the EPA after the farm bureau sued the federal agency last October. Harper said farmers will need to upgrade their equipment to comply with the stiffer standards. She added that there are many sources of funding available to farmers to help them offset increased costs. But Craig Pedersen, who grows cotton, corn, alfalfa and wheat in Lemoore, about 30 miles south of Fresno, said the decision only adds I another costly layer to agricultural regulations. The California Farm Bureau did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The EPA has demanded compliance in a settlement with environmentalists that would regulate California agribusiness as it does industrial smokestacks.

Prosecutor wants clergy abuse records sealed CLEVELAND (AP) - A prosecutor who directed a grand jury investigation of alleged clergy sexual abuse in the Cleveland Roman Catholic Diocese has changed his position an(j wants investigative records kept secret. The ·investigation led to indictments against one priest and six church employees. Allegations against I 45 priests were reviewed, but some i:ases were too old to pursue under the statute of limitations. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill · Mason, who had advocated the public release of documents in the case, recently asked Common Pleas Judge Brian Corrigap to keep over 50,000 · investigative documents secret. He said exceptions should be limited document releases to the diocese and appropriate public service agencies, like child protection agencies. Adecision fium Corrigan isn't expected for several months. Assistant Prosecutors Robert Coury and Timothy Miller said the prosecutor's offic~; reversed its position after reassessing Ohio's law barring public disclosure of grand jury investigative materials . . "As we got further into our investigation, it became pretty clear to us that the law provides a total ban on our ability to release these records," Coury said Wednesday. "If we don't give the judge the opportunity for limited disclosure, he may not have the opportunity for any disclosure." Mason's seven-month investigation ended in December. He initially said he thought the public had a right to know whether priests or lay people accused of sexual abuse continued to have access to children, and said he was inclined to disclose the documents. Miller said the latest filing would meet Mason's goal of protecting children by providing the names of accused offenders to ·agencies such as the Department of Children and Family Services, police departments and community block-watch groups. "Our interest is in getting this information out to as many agencies as possible for the sake. of protecting children," Miller said. Lawyers for the diocese have argued in court documents that the investigative files should remain sealed. Kansas library employee says she was told at work to stop talking about gay rights TOPEKA. Kan. (AP) -A public library emi?loyee says she was reprimanded after she talked openly at work about gay rights following last month's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down anti-sodomy laws. Bonnie Cuevas, a board member of the Kansas Unity and Pride Alliance and mother of a gay man, said two administrators at the TopekaShawnee County Library verbally reprimanded her for talking about the case and told her she was prohibited from discussing gay rights at work. They cited a complaint from a co-worker who felt the subject was creating a hostile work environment. Cuevas had discussed the case on the phone and with a co-worker. The American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the library Wednesday, asking officials to reconsider their prohibition on Cuevas' ability to discuss the case, without the group resorting to legal action. David Leamon, director of the library, said he recently returned from vacation and was not aware of the situation. If anything, he said, Cuevas would have , been told not to use the telephone for personal matters and that the library doesn't take sides on issues. "The subject is not an issue at all," Leamon said. Leamon said the staff complained that Cuevas, 54, was being disruptive because of the frequent: impassione(j telephone calls. "We never issue gag orders," Leamon said. "The library is on neutral ground and we don't take positions on issues." Following the high court's decision, Cuevas, an events coordinator for the library, spoke by telephone to friends and reporters about the decision and how it affects her family. She also . talked about the decision to a · co-worker who approached her for information about the decision, she said. Ken Choe, staff attorney for the ACLU in New York, said he was optimistic the library would remove the restriction. "If. there was a concern · about spending too much 'time on the phone for personal reasons, that's one thing," Choe said. "All Mrs. Cuevas is seeking to do is talk about this landmark Supreme Court decision as any employee has the right to talk about matters of public concern." Cuevas was quoted in · USA Today the day after the information so that the stores could save money. Attorneys for Marc' s. Christopher Fagan and Joseph Dreher, could not be reached for comment. Amessage seeking comment was left at their law office after regular business hours Wednesday night. Mid-Michigan said it handied the computer needs of Marc's pharmacies from 1987-2000. Mid-Michigan first handled four stores and later took on 43. Mid-Michigan attorneys Michael Grace and Annah Kim said Marc's officials stole one of its computers in 2000. The computer was loaded with the confidential phannacy software, including file systems and codes. Grace said Marc's officials arranged to have the infermation taken from the computer and later chose a new software firm. MidMichigan claimed that Marc's officials ordered the hacking so that Marc 's would be able to convert to the new vendor.

Pomeroy has by far the most types but there are pieces from Middleport, Racine, Rutland, Syracuse, Minersville, Long Bottom, Letart and Harrisonville in his collection and samples from several towns are in the local display. An ultra-rare stenciled pitcher; Long Bottom pottery types of E. E. Roberts, Roberts' great-great. uncle; a brown glazed jug "marked "Good Old Rye Pomeroy, Ohio," brown and reddish glazed pieces dating from the late 1870s; two cream glazed pieces, one a miniature whiskey jug from Middleport, and another a Franze back-bar piece are on exhibit. Stenciled stoneware mugs and jugs were produced for Meigs County merchants into the first few years of the 20th century, according to Roberts. He thinks one of the latest jugs produced here was for the "White' House,': a local bar on Ohio Route 124 near the intersection of Route 33 .sometime after 1903 and possibly as late as the onset of prohibition. Phonies from PageA1 immediately called the Pomeroy Police Department to report what occurred. The man said the caller sounded like a young male in his early 20s or 30s. The caller would take details made by the victims during the phone conversation · to prey upon their worst fears. "Victimizing the people of Pomeroy will not be tolerated," said Proffitt who has several hot leads as to the identity of the criminal. Proffitt said he has already begun to subpoena phone records and cell phone accounts. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Meigs County Prosecutor's Office have been notified. Proffitt said the Pomeroy Police Department is very motivated to solve this case. "Since this sick individual is using our name, my name, we are very motivated to get out there and make a bust," · he said. "I will suggest the highest sentence possible when, not if, but when we get this person." Proffitt said impersonating a police officer is a felony that would almost assuredly get a conviction with major jail time. He advises people who receive a similar call that seems suspicious to get the number of the person calling and then to hang up and call the appropriate authorities to verify any information.

' . e • e1 the president that the CIA's concerns were backed by the State Department's conclusian that " the claims of Iraqi pursuit of natural uranium in Africa are highly dubious." For her part, Rice has tried to fend 9ff .controversy by claiming ignorance. On " Meet the Press" in June, Rice claimed, "We did not know at the time-- no one knew at the time, in our circles--maybe someone knew down in the bowels of the agency, but no one in our circles knew that .there were doubts and suspicions that this might be a forgery." On Friday, Rice admitted that she had known the State Department intelligence unit " was the one that within the ~all intelligence esti mate nad objected to that sentence" and that Secretary of State Colin Powell had refused to use the Niger document in his presentation t.o the United Nations because of what she described as long-standing concerns about its credibility. But Rice also knew the case for bypassing U.N. inspections and invading Iraq required demonstrating an imminent threat. The terrifying charge that Iraq was hellbent on developing nuclear weapons would do the trick nicely. However, with the disc~­ iting of the Niger buy and tiJ.e equally dubious citation of a purchase of aluminum tube,s (which turned out to be mappropriate for the productior of enriched uranium), one can imagine the disappointmi:f!t at the White House. There was no evidence for painting Saddam Hussein as a nuclei!f threat The. proper reaction shoul~ have been to support the U.N. inspectors in doing their work in an efficient and timely fashion. We now know, and perhaps the White House knew then, that the inspectors eventually would come up empty-handed because no weapons-of-mass-destruction program existed--not even a stray vial of chemical and biological weapons has been discovered. However, that would have obviated the administration's key rationale for an invasion, so lies substituted for facts .that didn't exist. And there, dear readers, exists the firm basis for bringing a charge of impeachment against the president who employed lies to lead us into war (and how these people avoided it.

(APl - Authorities were investigating why an 86-year-old man's car plowed throu~ a crowded fanners market, killing nine and injuring up to 45 others - : and whether the driver was competent to be behind the wheel in the first place. : Police said Russell Weller !old them he may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brake Wednesday, hurling victims into the air as his car careened down a street closed to traffic. · "Mr. Weller and his family want to express their deepest sympathies to the victims and their families of the tragic accident earlier today," Weller family attorney Jim Bianco said in a statement Wednesday. "This was an unintentional and unfortunate accident" . Eight victims were pronounced dead at the scene and a ninth, a 50-year-old man, died later at a St. John's Hospital, spokeswoman Barbara Bishop sa!d. Fourteen others were cntically injured. Weller was not arrested, but authorities were considering whether the case was "manslaughter of some type" and investigating whether he was qualified to drive, said Police Chief James T. Butts Jr. "There may be some negligence as to his capacity to drive safely," Butts said, although he added that Weller, of Santa Monica, has a valid driver's license. : Weller was taken to a hos~i­ tal for a blood test and initial results found no traces of ;il9ohol or psychoactive drugs such as antidepressants and hallucinogens. _ : Mary Roney, who has lived two doors down from Weller and his wife for 30 years, said he has never had any trouble driving and she did not know of any health problems. "A more careful, gentle, loving person you 'II never find," said Roney, who , described him as active in the community, including serying on a library board and tutoring students at Santa Monica High School. Buns said he did not have an estimate of the car's speed. Witnesses said Weller's 1992 Buick was moving very fast down the three downtown blocks of Arizona Avenue that were closed for the street market. "Sixty miles per hour and it wasn't slowing down. It was flying. And then people down, dead and everything," said David Lang, manager of a shoe store along the market route. .

The market, which takes and place Wednesdays Saturdays, bisects oceanside Santa Monica's popular Third Street pedestrian promenade and is near the famous Santa Monica Pier. It draws thousands of shoppers and was slated to close just as the incident occurred at 2 p.m. The nine .dead - five women, three men and a 3rear-old girl - were not Identified. Police said 20 to 30 people had moderate or light injuries. They were taken to four hospitals by a fleet of ambulances and rescue helicopters. A witness, Bahram Manahedgi, 50, said one person was on the hood of the car when it ftoally came to rest after the incident. A woman's body was crushed beneath the vehicle. Manahedgi said that when he went to pull the driver out, "His eyes were open and he was alive. I said, 'Do you know what the hell you did?' He said, 'No.' I just opened the door, I pulled him out."

"Things are changing by the moment," said agent Mark Bartelstein, Miller's representative. Miller, an Eastern Conference All-Star last season, made $5.3 million in 200203 and is in position to get a healthy raise. Indiana would likely be willing to . give him a starting salary around $7 million, but other height-deprived teams · might be willing to go higher. · The Utah Jazz; Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards are the only teams with. enough remaining salary cap space to make a higher offer to Miller. San Antonio, however, ·has already signed center Rasho Nesterovic, and Washington has been pursuing Golden State free agent guard ·Gilbert Arenas. There are at least two other teams "Memphis ;~nd New York - that have been trying in vain to acquire one of the · available free agent centers. · With Michael Olowokandi and Rasho · Nesterovic already signed, Miller is the best remaining choice from a free agent market that includes Philadelphia's Derrick Coleman, Seattle's Elden Campbell and Orhlndo's Andrew Declercq. "Lots of people are trying to pursue him. That's the best I can say," Bartelstein said of Miller, a 7-footer: who has played for Charlotte, Chicago and Indi~a during his five NBA seasons. Pacers president Larry Bird .said the team wants to retain both Brad Miller and R~ggie Miller. . "It is going to be tough. Our main concern wa's to get Jermaine (O'Neal) signed. Obviously, both Millers we'd like to get done. It's just going to take time to sit down and look at the numbers and see what we can do. · "There's always options, but we need to get him back here," Bird said. The best remaining free agent power forward came off the market when the Miami Heat signed Elton Brand of the Clippers to a six-'year offer sheet beheved to be worth $84.2 million. Los Angeles now has 15 days to decide whether to match the offer to Brand, as well as the offer sheets signed by Andre Miller with Denver and Corey Maggene with Utah. · "This organization has always been committed to winning," Heat coach Pat Riley said in a statement. This offer sheet for Elton Brand is a continuance of that commitment to try to win and put the best possible players O<l the floor for our fans to enjoy." Brand, who has averaged 19.2 points and 10.7 rebounds in his four NBA seasons, would fill Miami's need for an inside scoring presence. The Heat were the NBA's second-lowest scoring team last season. Brand spent his first two NBA seasons with Chicago and the last two with the Clippers. He was an All-Star in 2002, the first Clippers player to be selected for that game since Danny Manning in. 1994. The offer sheets to Brand and Miller were believed to be structured in such a way as to force Clippers owner Donald Sterling to make huge immediate lump sum payments - up to $28 million in Brand's case alone - if he decides to match. "Today, we have received offer sheets from Elton Brand, Corey Maggette and Andre Miller. We will evaluate these offers during the 15-day period before announcing our decision," Clippers executive vice president Andy Roeser. "As · we have repeatedly said, it is ·our intention to match any and all offers as we see fit, with a goal of maintaining the nucleus of our team.

Allan shot a 74 and now Stands at 2-over 144.

Of the 144 players who \Vere scheduled to ·Start, only lbree broke par in the <,>ening round and just two in the second. The avemge score was 78.56 - roughly a shot per round under what it was during the first round. : Paramore began the day with a one-shot lead over buke senior-to-be David French of Upper Arlington. Paramore opened with a 68. Allan, who shot a 70, was alone in third. . Defending champion Kevin Kornowa of Sylvania was tied for third with Logan's Jason Gerken and Matt Marino of North Ridgeville - all of them two shots back of Allan. A light rain wet the course on Tuesday night but gusting winds dried out the greens and made them slick, fust and hard in the second round. Those who misclubbed on their approach shots usually found themselves facing 30 foot putts coming back down the sloping greens - sometimes with a sidehill contour like those found on the local puttputt course. Wind has also worked against the elite field. On many holes, the wind direction shifted 180 degrees between rounds. Allan is playing in his first Ohio Amateur. His biggest career victory was a win in the Cincinnati Met two years ago. . The 23-year-old golf-course worker - who plans .to turn pro later this summer gmbbed the lead with a birdie on the 18th hole. He received no recruiting lettc:;rs after graduating frnm Mariemoqt High School and ended up at Division III DePauw (Ind.). He developed his giune to become an AllAmerican his junior year, addinjl academic AliAmencan honors his final season. Paramore was hired as the University of Ashland's women's golf coach just weeks ago and is playing his frrst tournament since returning from · his honeymoon. His bride, Kerre, is his caddie this week: After his opening 68, the former Florida Southern golfer was 2-under through 10 holes but then had bogeys at Nos. 12 and 16 and a double-bogey at 15. Kornowa won the amateur on the first hole of sudden death a year ago, gaining the playoff with a stirring backnme surge. This year the former University of Toledo golfer who will remain an amateur while working as an accountant - continued to play consistently well. After a 72, he shot a 74 in the serond round. Gerken, the 200 I state juniors champion, will be a sophomore at Princeton this fall. He reversed Kornowa's numbers, stacking up a 72 after an opening 74. Three-time state high school . medalist Jason Kokrak of Warren, who now plays at Xavier, was joined at 5-over 147 by Cincinnati's Brad Marsh and Sandusky's Justin Bertsch. Bertsch plays at Toledo, while Marsh is a former University of Cindnnati golfer who is now a marketing researcher. Sixty-seven players made the cut of 157, including 1974 Ohio Amateur champion Kim Heisler of the host club (at 152) and former Ohio State quarterback Greg Frey (157). Assoelated Press SANDWICH , England' - No other major championship requires as much good fortune as the British Open. On no other links is that more true than at Royal St. Geo'lle's. Robert Allenby hit two tee shots on the 17th hole during a practice round, both drawing gently tow;ud the middle of the fairway .and landing in the same spot. He found one of them iii the left rough, the*lther in the right rough. "Not even the best players in the world can keep it on every fairway no chance," Allenby said. "You need a lot of luck. And I hope I'm the one who gets lucky." Kenny Perry posed over a 5-iron struck to the center of the 12th green, then watched it take a hard hop to the left and roll toward a pot bunker. "Oh, my gosh," Perry said. "That's not fair, is it?" Colin Montgomerie read in the newspaper Wednesday that Greg Norman predicted only 20 percent of the players would be able to keep the ball in the first fairway.. Having played the previous afternoon, Monty could relate. " I hit a shot down the left side with a bit of fade , which normally works," he said. "It missed the fairway qn the right side. And the marshal said that was one of the good ones." Three days of practice on the links just north of the English Channel are filled with tales of seemingly good shots taking turns for the worse as soon as they land on the brown, brittle turf of Royal St. George's. Those shots stan counting Thursday, when Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and the rest of the field tee off' in golf's oldest championship. "Of all the Open courses, this could be the most penal," said Mark O'Meara, who has played all the British Open links in the modern rotation, and is one of only eight men to have competed three times at Royal St. George 's. "If the weather gets nasty, this course is brutal." for once, the two most popular words at a major are not Ti~er and Woods. They have been replaced by "moon"used to describe the lunarlike links and "bounces," which will test the ·resolve of the world's best players. "Not too often do hit the ball down the middle an end up in the bunker or the rough," . Woods s aid. "That's just the way it is. You understand you're hitting good. shots, you're going to get bad bounces: hit marginal lou ~rthune CLASSIFIED shots and get great bounces. "You have to be very patient because . of that." Woods remains the betting favorite - same as every major championship since he turned professional in 1996even though he arrived at this British Open without a major trophy for the first time since the 1999 PGA Championship. · · He ts coming off a five-stroke victory in the Western Open, his fourth win of the year. His practice rounds have been efficient, easy to do because he tees off before 6:30 a.m. each day and is gone by the time fans line up for a lunch of jellied eel or fisb and chips. A victory would allow Woods to join Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win the career Grand Slam at least twice. Woods won the British Open three years ago at St. Andrews, where it was so dry and warm that the fairways were faster than the greens. He didn't hit into a single bunker on the Old Course, a feat that will be difficult to repeat on a links with blind shots and warped fairy~ays. St. Andrews has subtle humps. Royal St. George's has crevtces. "I thought I was on the moon," Perry said after playing the course for the first time. "I felt like I was on another planet -which I am."

"In today 's environment of expanding viewer options, having the All-Star game increase its total audience for the first time in five years is a tremendous achievement, especially when you see what's happened to most recent major sports events," Fox Sports president Ed Goren said.

REED breed@ mydailysentinel.com POMEROY -Meigs County Commissioners have approved a tentative 2004 general fund budget reflecting a $265,000 decline in revenue when compared to 200: Meeting Thursday, commis· sioners approved a preliminary budget to be subrrnUed to the state later this month. The pre· liminary budget is based largely on 2003 expenditures and appropnauons, according to Board President Jeff Thornton. The commissioners' estimates include projected revenue in the amount of $3,350,286.22, and projected expenditures 'in the amount of $3,486,726.66. The county's actual working budget will not be approved until early in 2004, when appropriations are m:,Jde into county departmental budgets. The decline in revenue is blamed on several factors, according to Thornton, including declining assistance from the state in the form of local government assistance funds, declining sales tax revenue, and lower interest on long-term investment of inactive county funds. In 200 I , the county operated . on revenues in el\cess of $4 million. Conunissioner Jim Sheets said yesterday the projected revenue is probably less than the county will actually receive, but was under-estimated to avoid an under cer· tification of funds nex:t year. "Some counties have found themselves this year with an insufficient certification of revenue because they did not fully consider the effect of the cuts from the state," Sheets said. . So far this year, Thornton said, the county has received $12,000 less in monthly local govern· ment assistance payments, and that deficit figure is expected to reach $16,000 by year's end. Other business Commissioners also: • Awarded a bid to Shelly Company, Thornville, for a Community Development Block Grant Formula paving project in Middleport, in the amount of $33,053.32; • Approved appropriations adjustments for the county engineer, grants administration , juvenile and probate courts, MRIDD, auditor, law library and coroner; • Approved payment of bills in the amount ·of $132,187.99.

Joy Bentley, instructor, leads an eclectic group of people every Monday through the paces of a workout designed to strengthen and increase flexibility. She ~as been doing yoga for 15 years. A spinal accident slowed Bentley down a few years ago, but it inspired her to get her body in better shape. She decided to get back into yoga as a means of strengthening her back. "I feel completely .J1!juvenated after dmng yoga," she. said. "I have been doing it for stress reduction and rehabilitation for my back. For me, yoga has been very good." Anywhere from half a dozen to more than 20 students show up for her class. Bentley said anyone can par· ticipate and the class has people at all skill levels. Beginners start slow, maybe by doing something thai will get them loose like lying on their back and lifting their feet straight in the air- ideally at · a 90 degree angle. "I think it is a healthy form of exercise and working out," said Vicki Hanson. "It is for everybody, all ages. Whether you are healthy or not, it helps you. II is rejuvenating."

POMEROY - Pomeroy "voters will decide on renewals of two; five-year levies when they go to the polls in November. · The ftrst levy is for 1.9 mills and it will raise approximately $32,541 a year during its ftve-year term. The money generated from this levy is primarily used for general expenses, specifically to pay for street lights in the village. The second levy is for I mill and it will raise approJcimately $17,127 a year during its five- year term. The money gener• ated is used for general expenses of the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department. The decision to put the levies on the ballot this fall was made by unanimous vote of council at Wednesday night's meeting. . Clerk-treasurer Kllthy Hysell said the money gener~ ated from these levies is necessary for the village especially in light of state budget cuts and dwindling tax revenues. Governor Taft imposed a 2.5 percent across-the-board cut to the funding the state provides to local governments. In addition to state cuts, the village is receiving less in tax revenue due to the Southern Ohio Coal Company and several other business closings. As a result, Hysell said council approved a smaller operating budget for the following budget year. Hysell said next year's budget, which is more than $1.4 million, is less than lasl year's budget of more which was $1.5 m,illion. "We are going to have to watch our spending next year," she said. Spending decisions this year will be affected by several events ranging from the February ice storm to the fire that destroyed the village gamge. Hysell said the village has not yet received the $40,000 the Federal Emergency Management Agency promised for assistance for the February ice storms. Spending on salt and overtime for workers during the stonn put a strain on the budget for the street deJl3fh:I:lent. The village IS still working out the details involved in the insurance covernge and settle· ment involved with the damages from a fire in June that damaged the village garage and some vehicles from the Street Please see VIllage, AS BY BRIAN J. REED breed@mydailysenlinel.com MIDDLEPORT An anonymous donation of more than $8,000 will keep the Middleport Pool open for the ·remainder of the summer. Earlier this week, Middleport Village Council discussed the possibility ol closing the pool .Friday because there appeared to be insufficient funds in the vi,llage's recreation fund to pay lifeguards' salaries and other operating expenses. Pool admission receipts have been disappointing this year, and Bob Pooler, chair· man of the Recreation Committee, said Monday the low attendance is probably due, in part, to a late pool opening. The opening was delayed until mid-June because of needed mainte· nance and repair. The village has paid $11,000 in operating costs since the pool's opening, and has taken in, on average, less than $100 a day in admission fees, according to Village Clerk Susie French. Since il opened, the pool has only 1 taken in $5 ,710 from gate admissions and concession sales, as well as another pri· vate donation that paid for the needed repairs. . .
