MIDDLEPORT ·
George Hoflinan is Middleport's new clerk/treasurer.
During
Wednesday
evening's regula~ meeting,
Village Council approved
Mayor Sandy Iannarelli's
appointment of Hoflinan 'to
replace Bryan Swan'l• who
submitted his resignation
Wednesday.
Swann's resignation was
effective at the end of la.&lt;t
night's meeting. He will
assume a position with the
Athens/Meigs Educational
Service Center, and had
. ~ amwunced liis plans to
resign from the village position earlier this year.
(n submitting his resignation, Swann noted significant
strides in improving the village's financial condition, but
warned of tough times
ahead.
Because of the state's elimination of the estate tax,
which benefited townships
and villages, and because of
the upcoming consolidation
of the Meigs Local School
Districts, "things are going to
get tight again," Swann said.
Last year, the village

office. Swann said, and
$15.000 is expected in losses
in income tax revenue from
school district employees
once Meigs Middle School
and Middleporr Elementary
School are vacated.
lannarelli said the village's
plans to use those buildings
for other purposes could
help offiet the village's losses .

Village moves to eliminate BPA
'
BY BRIAN .J. REED
SENTINEL NEWS STAFF

MIDDLEPORT- Middleport Village Council took
its first steps to eliminate the
Board of Public Affairs
Wednesday evening.
The first of three r~)ldings
of an ordinance proposed by
Councilman Bob Robinson
was approved by a 4-2 vote
during council's regular
meeting. The ordinance
eliminates the elected board
in favor of a village administrator hired and controlled
by council.
Council members Robinson, Roger Manley, Stephen
Houchins and Kathy Scott
voted in favor of the proposal, while Rae Gwiazdowsky
and Bob Pooler voted
against.

Mayor Sandy Iannarelli
al;o opposes the proposal,
because, she has said, of the
accomplishments in improvit~f, water and sewer infrastructure since the BPA was
reinstated.
The BPA was reinstated in
1999, after a citizens' group
shed light on administrative
fail~res and potlmtjal health
haza{ds withi'l the village's
wa~
· and ·seW\lta"ge systems.
A- ) million sewer lift station ' mprovement and construcdon project is now
under way, and the BPA has
begun to consider new well
field sites in light of a problem with volatile organic
compounds in the village
water supply,
The level of trichlorethyl-

ene in the water has now
subsided.
The issue was first brought
to the council table last
month, · as the village began
advertising for a replacement
for former Village Supervisor Brent Manley.
At the heart of the proposal is the supervision of water
and street employees, but
control of village equipment
is also an issue for council
members in favor of the
elimination of the BPA.
"We need a supervisor for
our employees," Councilman
Roger Manl l'y ,i d, "but the
village can't exist with those
two boards 11 1 dispute."

- The last time President

Tex:Js home Wednesday faced
with decisions that make last
summer seem like a simpler
time.
Even before he landed in
Texas, Bush was working the

confront a crisis. With the
economy skidding toward
collapse in Argentina, Bush
caYed the leaders of three
Latin American countries Mexico, Chile and Uruguay
to discuss the matter.
Once on the ranch, he took a
_happy-holidays call from
Russian President Vladimir
Putin.
. The president must consider the next t~rget in the war
on terrorism, the fate of
.American Taliban fighter
John Walker Lindh and how
to jump-start the economy.

The president plans to keep

day, but plans few public

adviser Karen Hughes said.
He is likely to make an outof-state trip in early January.

WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Colin Powell
is urging Pakistani and Indian
leaders to pull back from confrontation, saying neither side
could gain frOm a conflict.
India and Pakis~n have
fought three wan in a halfcentury and are nucleararmed. Their armies have traded artillery fire in disputed
Kashmir and have stepped up
their military presence along ·
their long border. .
·
Powell made two telephone
calls Wednesday to Pakistani
President Pervez Musharraf
and two to Indian Foreign
Minister Jaswant Singh urging
re•traint. These followed earlier
calls Monday and Tuesday by
Powell to Musharraf.
He also has spoken three
times to British Foreign Secre- .
tary Jack Straw.
In a separate action, Powell
designated two Pakistan-based
groups accused by India of ,a
bloody suicide attack Dec. 13
on the Indian parliament as
foreign terrorist organizations.
Fourteen people died in the ·
assault.

• Amarillo (Texas) Globe-News, on john Wttlker, the
American Taliban: John Philip Walker appean to be a
troubled young man. He also appears to be a traitor who
took up arms with an enemy force with whom the
nation of his birth is at war.
So, why the apparent angst among some !unericam
over what to do about this young man?
Walker, 20, was captured the other day by U.S. forces
fighting. in Afghanistan. Several years ago, he converted
· to Islam and then joined the Taliban ....
· · Walker suffered serious shrapnel wounds during a
fierce firelight at a prison holding Taliban fighters. He
· now is in U.S. custody and is recovering from his
wounds.
What should happen to him? He should be returned
· to the .United States and tried in the federal courts on a
charge of treason. He deserves only the consideration to
which he is entitled as a U.S. citizen, namely a fair and
public trial.
If the court convicts him, then he deserves the sentence that the court deems warranted. If that sentence is
death, then the government is obligated to carry it out.
However, let us not waste time wondering - and
worrying - about how this young man could turn on

the students handed me the paJ"'rs
and left, they seemed more relaxed.
That weekend, I wrote the name
of each student on a separ.ate sh~t
of paper and lined what the students
had said about that individual. On
Monday, I gave each nudent his or
her list. Before long, everyone was
smiling. "Really?" I heard one whi&gt;per. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone." "I didn't know
anyone liked me that much!"
The assignment was never mentioned again, but it didn't matter,
because the exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students felt
better about themselves and each
other.

WEST'S VIEW

Neutrality first casualty when nation is under attack
Recovered from the rubble of Sept. 11
is an age-old truth: There is nothing
intrinsically fair about beirig even-handed. Thit is, there may well be two sides
to every story, but one of them is uswlly wrong.
Thu point of view, long considered
overly simplistic (if not insufficiendy
complex), snapped into focus even
before the dwt of the terrorin attacks
had cleared. Americans, burying · thejr
dead, knew with unshakable certainty
that Owna bin Laden and hu global
gang were "evildoers:' as President Bush
almost chivalrously dubbed them, anp
failed to flinch when U.S. officials spoke
with antique bluntness of"rooting them
out" and even "killing" them. As President Bwh said, "You're either with or
you're against us"- and that's been fine
by us.
Maybe this change isn't so remarkable.
After aU, neutrality has got to be the first
casualty in an attack. (Unless, of course,
you're a Brit journalist oftl).e loquacious
left, like the Independent's Robert Fisk,
who needed 2,500 words to describe his
own very bloody, very near-death experience at the hands of an Afghan mob as .
a well-deserved act of retribution against
the West. But his, so far, is an exception.)
What's more astonishing in our age of
cultural relativism and reflexive political
correction is that this newfound perspective has not only held steady, but it
has grown sharper and more widespread.
A clarity now extends to such blurry
bastions of moral equivalence as the
State Department and the European
Union, taking in not only the war in
Mghanistan, but, mirabile dictu, the war
in the Middle East. No more (at least for
die time being) do State Department
spokesmen try to erase the indelible paraUels between Israel's war on Hamas and
America's war on AI Qaeda - whose

accepted his Nobel Peace Prize - so
richly merited, given the peace busting
out aU over - he chose to portray the ·
world as a blur of gray. Even as .people
the world over are divided by things as
basic as the meaning of terrorism, Annan
went on about the "indivisibilitY of
humanity"- an impressive, if meaningless, mouthful. As countries struggle in
the aftermath of Sept. 11 with urgent,
new questions about the demands and
responsibilities of nationhood and .citizenship, Annan nattered on about
"today's real borders 'being not between
nations, but between powerful and powerless, free and fettered, privileged and
humiliated."
He went on to say:"New th~ats make
no distinction between races, nations or
regions." Oh yeah? Try that one out on
people who live in New York or
Jerusalem. Maybe such blather is a leftover luxury of peacetime. Wartime
demands the kind of consistent clarity
George W. Bush has projected - and
thank goodness - to inspire people to
do what's right and stick with it. It's hard
to imagine someone as completely
uncentered as Bill Clinton as having
been up to the task.
What happened to that late-20th-century ideal of life in a detached bubble of
supposedly perfect objectivity? Looks. as
if it's been popped by the prick of a
lapel-pin flag. Good guys and bad guys
have returned, neatly side-stepping the
swampy limbo of gray for the resolute
action: of black and white. While the
future is uncertain, moral , equivalence
seems to have gone the way of the busde, if not the burka - at least for a little
while.

abandoned caves at 1bra Bora, for what
it's worth, are decorated with pin-ups of
Palestinian militanll, not Betty Grable in
a burka.And no longer (for the moment,
anyway) does the European Union tilt
toward the Palestinians. Just last week,
after the Israeli government declared
that the Palestinian Authority is a "terrorist-supporting entity" amid the worst
terrorist attacks in Israeli history. the
European Union leaned very publicly
and very heavily onYasser Arafat. For the
first time, the Europeans called on the
Palestinian Authoriry to dismande
"Hanus' and Islamic Jihad's terrorist networks" and make "a public appeal in
Arabic for an end to the armed intifada."
This demand is big stuff'. While the
European Union also repeated its calls
on Israel to halt military actions, settlement activity and restrictions on the
Palestinians, the onus of this dramatic
declaration was on Arafat. Diplomatic
bromides to the contrary, the Europe~n
Union has effectively taken sides. As the
leading backer of the Palestinian
Authority, forking over $160 million
annually, the European Union isn't just
another bunch of bureaucrats. Its words
might not be cheap:

LAMBRO'S VIEW

Bush slegislative aaotnplishemts nearly miraculous
BY DoNALD LAMIRO

WASHINGTON - President Bush
is nearing the end of'his first year in
office with an extraordinary record of
legislative accomplishments to his credit.
Indeed, his victories on Capitol Hill
are nothing short of a miracle for someone who lost the popular vote in a disputed election, who had no real mandate to speak of, and who saw his party
lose majority control of the Senate
barely four months into his term.
While Bush did not get everything he
wanted, his legislative scorecard shows
that he passed the bulk of his campaign
agenda, overcoming lower expectations
and every obstacle that his opponents
could throw in his way.
Consider this: Congress has given
Bush his across-the-board tax cuts,
totaling $1.3 trillion over 10 years, a
bipartisan education reform bill, all of
the $8.3 billion he wanted for anii-missile defense, and higher military spending for pay, benefits and improved readiness.
Tax cuts, missile defense, education
reform and a beefed-up military were
among the biggest proposals on his
agenda, and he has bagged aU four.
"You really have to say that on the
legisl~tive front, those are tremendous
achievements, which are quite remarkable when you think the Congress is.

evenly divided, and there was no great
mandate for his agenda," said Marshall
Wittmann, policy analyst for the Hudson Institute here.
"And you have to view this in terms
of the truncated legislative schedule
because everything became frozen in
place after Sept. 11," he told me. ·
There were disappointments and failures, but even here he can point to
unexpected advances late in the session
that will most likely lead to victories
early next year.
Bush did not get all he hap sought in
his education plan, especially his schoolvoucher proposal to get inner-city kids
out of failing schools. And he had to
agree to more spending than he wanted
to buy o.ffSenate Democrats. But he got
the periodic testing he proposed to
identify problem schools and to raise ·
student achievement, and thus he inoculated himself from future attacks on a
traditionally Democratic issue.
He did not get his faith-based grants
for religious institutions that help the
needy, which was picked apart by
Republicans and Democrats alike earlier this year. But White House officials
tell me that he is getting much of what
he wanted anyway by encouraging
departments and agencies to approve
grant requests from faith-based groups
running social welfare programs.
Throughout this year's legislative

wars, the House has been Bush's safety
valve, passing administration bills that
were not going anywhere under the
tyranny of Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle, D-S. D. After Daschle took
control, Republican legislation required
60 votes for passage to break Democratic filibusters, instead of a simple Constitutional majority.
Even when Bush's bills were approved
by Democratic-controlled Senate committees, Daschle blocked or killed those .
too.
Daschle flatly refused last week to take
up the House's modified recovery bill,
which would have won a narrow vote
in the Senate, saying that it had to first
win a two-thirds majority of the Democratic caucus before he would bring it
up for a vote. Thus, in another political
abuse of his parliamentary authority, he
gave his party's most liberal lawmakers
veto power over the right of the Senate
to consider legislation.
But for now, I think it is fair to say
that the pundits in this town were spectacularly wrong when they confiden tly
predicted in January that Bush was
going to have a hard time getting his
agenda through Congress.
He not only exceeded all of their
expectations, he did it with flying cqlors.

Question: I have a friend
who thinks she can drink
more than the average person
and not be drunk. She even
"thinks that she can actually
drive better after having a
few drinks. Of course I know
. this isn't. true. She is coming
to our New Year's Eve party
this year, and from past experience I know she will be
reluctant to use a designated
driver. What can I do?
Answer: The consumption
of alcohol is acceptable in our
society, when done within
the legal guidelines. From
your description, I'm concerned that your friend may
have a sefious alcohol problem whether she recognizes it
or not. The abuse of alcohol
could be a topic for its own
column, so I'll just focus on
the New Year's party issues
for now.
It takes the average person
one to two hours to eliminate the typical alcoholic
drink, such as an ounce of
distilled liquor, a bottle of
beer or a glass of wine .Therefore, a good "rule of thumb"
is that if you have had more
than one drink for each two
hours that you have been at a
party, regardless of how you
feel, you shouldn't drive.
Regular consumption of
alcohol doesn't change the
effect of this drug; however,
the frequent drinker does
develop a sense that he or she

Enron donation prompts investigation
WASHINGTON (AP) - A week
before filmg for bankruptcy protecnon,
Enron Corp contr1bured SIOO,OOO to
Democrats after gtvmg nearly all tts pnor
donanons thiS year to Republicans
The money went to the orgamzatton
that atds Senate Democncc candtdates,
but a recently htred attorney for Enron
msosted the donations were unrelated to
congressional mvesttgatwns
Attorney Robert Dennett, who represented former Prestdent Chnton and
other htgh-profile clients, saJd the money
was pledged months befo..., Enron's collapse prompted the congresstonal
mqumes Rather, he S3ld, the sh1ft reflected the Democrats taking control of the
Senate this year
"Donations of thts type reOect certun
political reahttes which are followed by all
maJor corporations," Bennett satd
Wednesday about Enron's $50,000 checks
on Nov. 25 and Nov 26 to the Democratic Senatorial Campa•gn Committee

Th1s week, Democrats on the Senate
Commerce Conuruttee demanded that
the Federal Trade Comrmsston tnvesbgate
why company execunves were allowed to
cash out thetr stock while other employees were prevented from sellmg the company's smking shares m thetr recrement

Bennett utd tl would be "very unfair to
draw any tmproper mottve based on these
contnbuttons While the money was
given m November, a large pomon of II
had been comnutted as far back as Sep-

tember"
Before the contnbuttons to the
Democrats, Enron thiS year had contnbuted 5173,000 to candidates and parces, With aJmost 90 percent gomg to

Stacie Watson put up big numbers

"We got into foul trouble early in

Brannon, "You can't play nearly as

Nebraska's·
get chance at redem~on
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The usually formidable
Nebraska defense has had nearly five weeks to think
about the 62-point, 582-yard barrage delivered by
Colorado in the Cornhu.,kers' last game.
At least two senior starters are just happy they get a
chance at redemption in the Rose Bowl.
"I've never been embarrassed to be a part of this program, part of the Blackshirt tradition here. That day, I
was," linebacker Jamie Burrow said Wednesday, as the
Cornhuskers prepared for the national championship
game against Miami on Jan. 3.
"It was depressing, we knew we got whupped," cornerback Keyuo Craver said. "I was out there and I didn't know what was going on. They were killing us, they
just shoved it down our throats. We learned from that."
The Cornhuskers better hope so, because the Hurricanes (11-0) averaged more than 43 points this season.
Nebraska (11-1) entered the Nov. 23 game at Colorado unbeaten thanks in great part to a defense that

had allowed 127 points (11.5-point average) to rank
second in the country in scoring defense.
But it was obvious early on that the Cornhuskers
were in big trouble.
"Colorado was just clicking on all cylinders," Burrow
said. "We didn't execute. Probably nine of our 11
starters had their worst game of the season. We had to

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
- In a year he began 0-for21 at the plate, Barry Bonds
)Oouldn 't have done much
better for himself.
The 73 homers. · An
unprecedented fourth MVP
award. A rec(&gt;rd .863 slugging
percentage. And now voted
The Associated Press Male
Athlete of the Year.
: Bonds won the honor
Wednesday by edging threetime Tour de France winner
Lance Armstrong. Tiger
.Woods, who won in 1999
and 2000, tied for third.
Besides smashing Mark
McGwire's 3-year-old home
run record, the San Francisco
Giants' slugger broke a pair of
Babe Ruth's records with
177 walks and the gaudy
slugging percentage. Bonds
hit .328 with 137 RB!s while
moving from 17th place to
seventh on the career jist
with 567 homers.
Bonds received 33 firstplace votes and 136 points
from
sportswriters
and
broadcasters to edge Armstrong, who finished second
in the voting for the second
straight year. Armstrong had
26 first-place votes and 127
points.
American League MVP
Ichiro Suzuki and Woods tied
for third with 43 points,
though Suzuki had seven
first-place votes and Woods,
who also won the AP honor
in 1997, had two. Randy
Johnson was fifth and Allen
Iverson was sixth. Points
were awarded on a 3-2- 1
basis.
The 37-year-old Bonds is
the 24th baseball player to
win the AP award. Pepper
Martin won the first award in
1931 and other baseball winners have included Bonds'

godfather, Willie Mays, who
won as a member of the New
York Giants in 1954. MeGwire won in 1998 when he
hit his record-breaking 70
homers.
After briefly testing the
free-agent market, Bonds
accepted the Giants' offer of
salary arbitration last week
and will be back in San Francisco for at least one more
season. Bonds said he's
already preparing for the
2002 season and trying to
figure out how he can
become an even better player.
"My grandfather told me,
'The day that dog doesn't
learn trick, it's the d;ty that
dog is dead,"' Bonds said. "If!
get satisfied now, I might as
well retire."
At first, this seemed unlikely to be a historic year for
Bonds, who was hitless in his
first 21 at-bats of the season.
But then he homered in a
career-high
SIX
straight
games, including his SOOth
home run on April 17. That
homer. which splashed into
McCovey Cove beyond the
right-field fence at Pacific
Bell Park, made him the 17th
major leaguer to reach ~he
milestone.
He had another six-game
homer streak m mid-May,
setting an NL record with
nine home runs in that span.
He also tied a record by
homering in four straight
official at-bats.
He connected twice on
May 30, becoming the most
prolific left..:handed homerun hitter in NL history with
No. 522. That moved him
past Hall of Famers Willie
McCovey and Ted Williams.
Bonds had a major league
record 17 home runs in May,

and stayed just as hot iii early
June. H" got halfway to
McGwir~ ", mark by hitting
his 35th and 36th homers in
" win over the neighboring
Oakland Athletics in midJune. ·
Then came a 13-game
drought, but Bonds still
headed into the All-Star
break with an unprecedented
39 homers.
Bonds hit his 41st and
42nd ho~e runs on July 18,
matching Mickey Mantic on
the career list with 531\. He
became the oldest player to
hit 50 when he homered at
Chicago's Wrigley Field on
Aug. II.
Nation~! excitement surrounding Bonds' chase for
the home run record grew
after he hit three homers on
Sept. 9 at Colorado's Coors
Field, giving him 63 for the
season. But he did not play
for the next week, as baseball
shut aown after the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks.
Bonds struggled a bit when
baseball returned, with many
teams pitching arou1id hitn.
But he tied McGwire's
·record in Houston on Oct. 4,
and broke the record with
two homers the next night at
home against Los Angeles.
No. 73 came on the last day
of the season, off Dodgers

Despite all the records,
Bonds said his most meaningful homer of 2001 was his
68th - because it came as he

on the bench after the

life," Bonds said.

Bettis doesn't want to go into the
playoffs after sitting out fiVe games and
a bye week.
"You don't want to do it unless you

thing you want to do. You want to just
get the speed of the game back, get a

Joining Betti s on the sidel ine Wednesday were linebackers Earl Holm es

running back Amos Zereoue (shoulder),
All three players are listed as probable
on the Steelers' injury report.
The Bengals are 4-10 and· coming off
of a 16-0 loss in Baltimore, where players squabbled during and after the
game.
The Steelers don.'t expect the Ben gals
to go through the n'lotions on Sunday.
"The Bengals are not like that. I've

Kimo von Oelhoffen said. "The coac hes they've got over there will not quit,

AUDIT

Report

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barry Russo's
new hometown of Rye, N.H., looks nothing
like the northem New Jersey suburb he retired
from. Rush-hour traffic doesn't exist. A weekend 'trip to the bank means a 10-minute ride
on rural roads instead ·of a half-hour trip down
busy boulevards.
With the latest Census Bureau estimates
showing New Hampshire as one of the country's fastest-growing states, Russo hopes Rye
doesn't lose its tranquility.
New Hampshire was the only state among
the 10 fastest-growing between April!, 2000,
and July 1, 2001, that wasn't located in the
South or West. Nevada, Arizona and Colorado
topped that list, surpassing the national 1.2 percent growth rate during that time.
"It's definitely a more rural feel," said Russo,
who moved to Rye from Ridgewood, N.J.,
three ~rs ago and now wants to help local
planners. "If! could prevent the 'Jerseyfication'
of it, I'd like to be aware of it."
Overall, the country's population increased
from 281.4 million counted in the April 1,
2000, census, to 284.8 million this past July 1,
according to bureau estimates released Friday.
North Dakota and West Virginia had the
steepest declines, as slower economies continued to chase residents out of the states while
failing to attract enough newcom~rs to take
their place.
