POMEROY,

Ohio

Meigs County's sales tax
collection deficit for 2003
continues to grow as commissioners grapple with the
2004 general fund budget.
On Friday, the county
received $86,891.29 from
the state, representing the
county's . one-percent sales
tax collected in May. The
figure represents a $10,000
shortfall from the tax collecled in May 2002, and
nearly $20,000 less than
that collected in May 2000.
This latest tal\ payment

puts the county's sales tax
collection
deficit
at
$16,423.47 for the year to
date.
The dramatic two-year
decline is monthly sales tax
payments is just one factor
affecting revenue for county
general fund operations.
and shows no signs of
reversing. An additional
one-percent
sales
tax
imposed earlier this month
will benefit only the state's
budget crisis.
County commtsstoners
estimate a decline in rev enue next year in excess of
a quarter-million dollars,
due not only to the decline

The 16-year-old male was
the driver of an ATV that hit
a deer, then hit a mailbox at
9 p.m. Thursday, according

years ago.
Although West Virginia

Thought for Today: " An optimi st sees opportunity in every
calamity. A pessimist sees calamity in every opportunity." Anonymous.

It is almost impossible to
know what really goes on
behind the scenes at a place
as secretive as the Vatican.
Running the worldwide
Roman Catholic Church with
its more than one billion
members is obviously an
enormous undertaking, and
the . important decisions are
made by a few powerful clerics headed, of course, by
Pope John Paul II. But the
Pontiff is 83 years old and
not in good hea lth . For
Americans concerned about
the declining image of the
Church in this country. the
question of the Pope's competency is crucial.
With that in mind. I
recently traveled to Vatican
City and sal in the third row
at John Paul's weekly audience. I watched him closely
for 90 minutes and can tell
yo u that although he can no
longer walk, he was mentally
alert. Hi s eyes were clear,
and his voice retai ned some
power. But it was clear that
the Pope's endurance is limited.
Few ever get to question the
Pope, and I have just one
query for him : Why, Your
Holiness, have you not acted
more aggressively in combat,
ing the priest-sex ual abuse
scandal in America, a. country
that provides about half of
your financing? Although the
Pope is beyond my reach, I
was able to put that question to
a number of Vatican insiders
and have come up with what I
believe is a cogent answer.

\

Pope John Paul II was
furious when to ld that the
scandals in the Boston
Archdiocese had reached a
flashpoint. According to
someone in the room with
him when he received the
news that Cardinal Law was
to be deposed, he slammed
his hand on his desk and
yelled to his ass istants: "You
told me this situation would
be taken care of the right
way '" The Pope was vi sibly
angry and, shortl y afterward.
retreated into prayer.
And that is what the Pope
mostly does these days: pray.
He delegates almost all other
duties to a variety of underlings. none of whom ha ve the
power or the insight to deal
· wi th a scandal as withering
as this priest-sex abuse thin g.
According to four sources
who often deal with the
Vatican, the bureaucracy at
St. Peter's is so thick and
entre nched that quick action
on anything is impossihle.
With the person in charge,
John Paul, spending most of
hi s time on spiritual relleclion, there is simply no one in
the Vatican hierarchy in place

bodies and sou ls of your
neighbors. Anything that
diminishes the human (or .
fetal) condition is questioned
and sometimes condemned.
But that moral authority is
now diminished. Thanks to a
few corrupt Catholic clergy
and a paralyzed leadership in
Rome, a reasonable, collecti vc voice th at promotes
humanistic conduct has been
put on the defensive and, in
certain quarters, is even dismissed as irrelevant.
I believe Pope John Paul
II is a good man -- a person
of dignity and compassion.
But he has lost control of a
situation that is causing societal damage far beyond the
confine s of the Catholic
Church. We should all dearly
hope that the Pope's prayers
are answered. For the
American Catholic Church
right now, the only solution
on the horizon is divine
intervention.

~nconvenient facts
BY HAROLD MEYERSON
The Washington Post

Moderately Confused

Bill
O'F!eilly

to help the
tottering
American Church.
This is tragic,. because for
two centuries the Cathohc
Church in the USA has been
a powerful moral voice . It
champions the poor, promotes respect for li fe and
genera ll y acts as counterweight to the secular philosophy that challenges any judgments about personal behavior. In America today there is
an increasing tolerance for all
kinds of action s that the
country · once
deemed
"immoral." For example,
some peopl~ now consider
heroin dealing to be a "nonviolent crime." Partial -birth
abortion is embraced by a
variety of groups. including
the National Organization for
Women. Drug legali zers· have
hired
lobbvists
in
Washington . as 'have homosexuals who want gay marriage to become sanctioned
by the states.
Nearly anyth ing goes in a
secular society. and a quick
trip to Europe will prove that.
Show up 'in Amsterdam,
Netherlands, and you can see
entire neighborhoods devoted to legali zed prostitution
and drug buying. You can
watch drug addicts shoot up
and smoke has h in the train
station. Great for the kids,
right?
The Catholic Church at
one time could authoritatively speak out against that kind
of degeneracy. The Church
believes th at your body is to
be respected, along with the

/

There are no stubborn facts
in the ·Bush White House,
just stubborn men. This is an
admini strati on that will not
be cowed by the truth.
After all , it's not as if the
president's baseless assertion
in hi s State of the Union
address that Iraq had sought
to acquire " yellowcake" uranium from Niger was the last
we heard of this claim. To be
sure, Colin Powell consciously excised it from the
bill of indictment he del ivered to the U.N. Security
Council in early February. (It
had been included in the first
draft of hi s speech, which
was prepared, according to
U.S. News and World
Report, .by the National
Security Cou ncil and Vi ce
President Dick Cheney's
office.) But it popped tlp
again a:f late as March 16,
Cheney
himse l.f
when
appeared on " Meet The
Press" to make one more case
for going to war.
By then, the International
Atomic Energy Agency had
publicly reported that the
documents
purportedly
recording the Iraq-Niger
transaction were forgeries--a
conclusion, we now know,
that the CIA and the State
Department shared. Indeed,
when ·the State Department
turned over the documents to
the IAEA on Feb. 4, it sent
along a note stating, " We
cannot confirm these teports

and have questions regarding
some specific claims."
But when " Meet The
Press" host Tim Russert
asked the vice president
about the IA EA's conclusions. Cheney bulled ahead
with a certitude born of-well , of the political necessity for certitude . He disagreed
with the IAEA, he said.
adding, wrongly, " You'll
tind that the CIA. for exampie . and other key parts of
our intelligence community
disagree."
As for Saddam, he said,
" We believe he has, in fact,
reconstituted
nuclear
weapons. I think Mr.
(Mohamed) EIBaradei (the
IA EA director), fra nkl y, is
wrong. And I think if you
look at the track record of the
lnternational Atomic Energy
Agency (on) this kind of
issue, especiall y where Iraq's
concerned, they have consistentl y underest imateu or
mi ssed what it was Saddam
Hussein was doing."
The point is not that an
apo logy is in order, though
it plainly is. The point is
that even after the IAEA 's
revelation that the forged
agreement

He did not, however, refute

becomes clear by a close
reading of the cover story in
the Jul y-August issue of
Foreign
Policy--Newt
Gi ngrich's attack o n the State
Department for its refusal to
implement George W. Bush's
foreign policy. Gingrich's
screed has been widely condemned for its bizarre allegations of Foggy Bottom di sloyally. But its most stunning
passage--an attack on the
very idea of unbiased intelli ge nce--has been overlooked.
Gingrich notes that on
April 28, Bush told a group
of Iraqi Americans in
Dearborn, Mich., " I ha ve
confidence in the future of a
free Iraq. The Iraqi people
are fu ll y capable of self-government." Then the New tster
continues:
" Contrast that vision with
a recent classified report by
the
State Department's
Bureau of Intelli gence and
Researc h titled ' Iraq, the
Middle East and Change: No
Dominoe s.' which was
leaked in March 2003 to the
• Los Ange les Times. As
reported by that newspaper,
the document stated tl!at ' libera! democracy would be
difficult to achieve (in
Iraq) .... Electoral democracy,
were it to emerge, could well
be subject to exploitation by
anti-American elements.' "
Gingrich goes on to list other
Foggy Bottom low points
and concludes: " Can anyon~
imagine a State Department
more out of sync with Bush's

views and objectives?"
It's okay if you want to go
back and read that again.
Gingrich has just criticized
an intell igence assessment of
what Iraq is for being out of
sync with Bush's views on
what Iraq should be. Those
of us who've called for
investigations of whether the
admini stration slanted its
intelli gence
should
be
abashed. What's to investigate'' Here 's a member of the
Defense
administration's
Policy Board who argues in
print that the very purpose of
intellige nce is to confirm the
president's vision of a proper
planet. In the mind of Newt
Gingrich , where synapses
must misfire at close to the
speed of light, the descriptive and the normative are as
one.

'

It's fashionable to dismiss
Gingrich today as a kind of
crazy uncle with whom the
Republicans are saddled. But
no one made Don Rum1rfeld
appoint to his policy board a
guy who does.n't unde rstand
the
most
rudimentary
premise of intelligence . And
the appointment does help
explam why Rumsfeld set up
his. own intelligence assessment office inside the
Penta~on in the very image
of Gmgrich 's intelligence
cookery.
My friends on the left fear
the administration's budding
imperialism . I'm more concern~d . by its raging antiempmcJsm.

NEW YORK (AP) Shane Spencer's career
with
the
Cleveland
Indians came to a quick
eni.l after a half-season
when he was dealt with
right-hander
Ricardo
Rodriguez to the Texas
Rangers for outfielder
Ryan Ludwick on Friday
ni ght .

Ludwick, 25,
was
recalled from the minors
July 3 and has hit .154 (4for-26) in eight games. He
hit .303 this season for
Triple-A Oklahoma with
I7 homers and 63 RBIs in
81 games.
·"John Hart and I, obviously, talk on a fairly regular basis," Indians general manager Mark Shapiro
said of the Texas GM, his
former boss in Cleveland.
"He had a surplus of
young corner position
players and · we felt like
our position of strength is
young starting pitching."
LHst year, Ludwick batted .235 for Texas with
one homer and nine RBls
before he fractured a hip
on Aug. 22, an injury that
ended his season.
Texas itcquired him
from Oakland in January
2002 as part of a six -player trade in which Carlos
· Pena went to the Athletics.
··we've got an athletic
guy who comes to play
every day and has righthanded pop," Shapiro
said.
"Right-handed
power is one of the hardest commodities to tind.
He can hit 25 to 35
homers. He' s a gamer,
plays hard every day, is a
good outfielder with a
good arm, too."

'True friend' hoping to play

DEAR ABBY: I met
"Racquel" at work and we
quickly became close friends.
We go out, talk on the phone
and. share our feelings daily. I
have fallen in love with her,
and tell her often how much
she means to me. I feel ready
to tale the next step and offi~ially become girlfriend and
boyfriend. ·
Racquel tells me she "isn't
sure" where our friendship
will lead, and that she is still
getting over her ex. (Their
relationship ended more than
a year ago.)
Last week, she Went to her
ex's house and they had sex.
She told me after it bappened
and said she knew right away
she had made a mistake and realized what a true friend
I am.
Abby, we cried together.
Should I forgive her and hang
onto the hope she will now
want to have a serious relationship with me? - SO IN
LOVE IT HURTS
DEAR SO IN LOVE:
Forgive he~. but realize that
when she confided what hapned, she told you exactly
ow she feels about you. She
considers you to be a ''true

not going to have the romantic relationship with her that
you would like.
· DEAR
ABBY:
Last
Saturday afternoon, I attended
a cousin's baby shower hosted
by our "Aunt Flo." It was held
at a local restaurant, and Flo
provided the cake and decorations. The guests were expected to pay for their own meals
and drinks.
The invitation revealed
nothing about this arran~ement. Those of us attendmg
didn't find out until we called
to RSVP. It seems unfair to
burden guests with this cost,
when they are also paying for
a baby gift - not to mention
travel expenses for those who
came from out of town.
Not wanting to disappoint
the mom-to-be, I attended even though the afternoon
ended up being a big strain on
my budget. What do you think

about this, Abby?- INDIG- years, and she has finally quit

ORTLAND, Ohio (1863) - A skirmish between
Confederate and Union armies occurred at 10 a.m.
Saturday at the Harris farm near the crossing to
Buffington Island.
.
Confederate Gen. John Morgan had come to the end of his
rope and was forced to make a last stand on some elevated
ground a few hundred yards from escape across the Ohio
River.
Two Confederate artillery pieces were set up on a slil\ht
ridge overlooking a long field bordered by trees on one s1de
and a cornfield on the other. Major James Eplin, CSA, said
after a long march that brought the Confederates to the river
crossing Friday night, Morgan let his men rest, confident
they would not be harassed the next morning.
Eplin said he knew he was being pursued by Union forces,

"That first guy that fell , he hasn't
moved a muscle," several audience members commented later on
as the battle progressed.

The dead were determined al

instance, anyone born in March
would be doomed to meet the grim
reaper.
Several re-enactors, who arrived

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio Local law
enforcement officers have been busy over
the weekend responding to several vehicle
break-ins and even an alleged man with a
gun.
Gallipolis City police ofticers were called
to Wai-Marl just before I0:30 p.m. Friday
after Gallia County 911 received an anonymous report that a man was in \the store
threatening a woman with a handgun.
According to oflicers, no evidence was
found to support the claim, but they will
continue to investigate the incident. WaiMart employees interviewed said they were
unaware of the alleged incident.
At 5:30 a.m. Friday, police officers were
called to the Super 8 Motel to investigate
the theft of items from several cars in the
motel's parking lot.
Gallia County sheriff's deputies investigated break-ins of several vehicles in the
parking lot of the Budget Inn on Jackson
Pike just before 6 a.m. Friday, and were
called the College Hill Motel in Rio Grande
around 7:15a.m. to 1nvestigate the theft of
some items from a vehicle parked there.
,Pet. Chad Walla~e f1&lt;-uJ the GallU..
County Sheriffs Office said the increase in
m1mber of calls has put a strain on local
lawmen.
"We have all been working very hard to
handle the increase in volume of calls for
both violent crimes and property crimes,"
Wallace said. "Our officers are being
stretched to the limit."
Wallace said the initial investigation
reveals thai some of the incidents may be
related.
"I do want to stress that anyone who has
electronic devices located in their homes or
vehicles needs to record the make, model
and serial numbers of those products," he
said. "Doing that will not only make our
jobs easier, but makes 'it easier for us to
return those items after they are recovered."
