During the busi ness session, a bid in the amount of $8,800 was reviewed for the sale of the old fire truck from the Democrat Building Fund. Council agreed to sell the truck to the DBF. Also, bids for cleaning of the municipal 'building were reviewed and tabled for further discussion. Meeting with council was Robert Wingett, grants administrator. He reported the entire grant application through Issue 2 funds was approved to pave College Road, Sixth and Fourth streets. Larry Ebersbach, member of the board of public affairs, met with council to disc uss the purchase of a generator for the water department. No action followed. In other business: • It was noted there had been inquiries from a resident of upper Minersville as to annexing that area into the village of Syracuse. It was noted that a study of the proposal would have to be made. • It was reported that a water leak was found on the Home Creek Development. . • Councilman Eber Pickens Jr. suggested counci l purchase radios for the water department in the village. Councilman Mony Wood suggested the radios be high-band. Plans are to purchase two mobile radios and two hand-held radios and Wood was designated to make the purchases, ·not to exceed $1 ,500. • Councilman Bill Roush suggested a safety deposit box be purchased at the bank; however, it was noted council has fireproof cabinets that will suffice. · • Wood made a motion to carpe~ repaint the walls and replace the ceiling til es at the municipal building. That motion was approved. • Lavender reported cinders had been delivered and suggested a tarp be purchased to cover them . That request was also approved. • On a motion made by Councilwoman Donna Peterson, $100 Christmas bonuses were awarded to Police Chief Tim Gillilan, Mike Ralston, Bob Moore and Richard Wamsley. • Sharon Cottrill, the new clerk-treasurer, noted the fire levy and the current expense levy are expiring and can be placed on the March levy.

The result left first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton breathless: I ,010 pounds of decadent ..:onfecti on, complete with sugary snow, candy trees and, in the case of the Washington Monument. a blinking red li ght to wam of low -llying planes. "When l saw thi s creation, my breath was literally taken away. " Mrs. Clinton said Monday . .. Anyone who is a chocoholic. as I from time to tirne am, can just imagine li ving in a place whose walls are held together by chocolate." Gingerbread versions of the White House, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument and Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate in the Virginia suburbs, rellect this year's theme, "Holiday Treas ures at the White House." highlighting America's landmarks. people and historical events. "We really wanted to have the treasured memories that so many of us have frum the holiday season brought back to life in an old-fas hioned Christmas," Mrs. Clinton said. "All through the house. there are memories of holiday treasures from years past. " Mrs. Clinton described the holiday trimmings for an oversized throng of"media, clearly a byproduct of her anticipated Senate campaign in New York. ·' I don' t think we've ever had such a crowd," she noted. In the East Wing lobby. there's a tree devoted to hi storic buildings that the first lady is seeking to restore through the Save America's Treasures partnership between the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Histuric Preservati o n. Among the red glass ornaments and ve lvet bows are miniature rcpli · cas of a Revoluti onary War gunboat lost in Lake Champlain in 1776; ValKill Cottage in l;lyde Park, Eleanor Roosevelt's home; ~nd the Washington Monument, with four lions seated around its base. In the Blue Room, an 18-foot noble fir is covered with I 0,500 lights, 300 tin icicles, 725 glass balls and 51 co lorful ornaments from each state and the District of Columbia. Eighty handmade dolls represent luminaries from American hi story. Sacajawea is there, cuddling a baby. Others in the collection are Eleanor Roosevelt , Benjamin Franklin, Rosa Parks, three Harriet Tuhmans. two Albert Einstei ns and a flying Amelia Earhart . The tree, donated by Ed and Cindy Hedlund of Elma, .Wash., is wrapped at the base in a handmade green velvet tree skirt, also stitched with designs from each state and territory. "Where's New York?" asked a reporter, craning her neck in a concentrated search. "Prominently displayed somewhere," replied Capri cia Marshall, the White House's soc ial secretary. Some of the tree ornaments have more personal than historical significance, Mrs. Clinton said. A tree in the East Room contains icicle orn aments that decorated many a Rodham family Chri stmas tree during her childhood.

In traditional angioplasty, a tiny balloon is inflated inside the artery, compressing the fatty buildup on the vessel wall. It is one of the most common medical procedures done today, but about 40 percent later fail when the artery clogs up again. The metal coils, implanted into the blockage site of . arteries through a balloon, are used today in about 1 million people a year- 75 percent of all angioplasty operations. Doctors have embraced the devices, known as· stents, over the last five years mostly because they reduce the need for a repeat angio·plasty operation. But that advantage has been eonsidered a tradeoff against the uncertainty of their long-term ben_efits and safety. · There had been no evidence that ·they improved survival and a study last year showed they could increase the likelihood of a heart attack in the month following insertion. In fact, Dr. Eric Topol, leader of ·the latest study, _published in this week's edition of The Lancet' med· 'ical journal, had been a critic of .stents. He conducted last year's :heart attaek study. "I've changed my mind. At that time we dido 't have the findings on "We found a remarkable syn· ergy between the device and the drug.

VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT: www.tompeden.com NEW YORK (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton today , said she doesn't support th e "don't ask, don't tell" poli cy intended to make it easier for gays and lesbians to serve in the military. " I don't believe it's the policy we should have in our military," she said at a news conference in Manhattan. adding: " I believe Americans wi lling · to serve their country should be allowed to do so. They should be able to do so without discrimin ation and harassme nt. I believe fitness to serve in the military should be based oll conduct, not sexual orientation." The first lady said she was not Clinton uncomfortable staking out a position that put her at odds with President Clinton. ''I'm going to lie a ca ndidate for the Senate of New York ," she said. " I' m going to be staling my positions th at will be from time to time different from the White House." Mrs. Clinton first made her views on th e subject known at a private, Manhattan fund- raiser sponsored by the Empire State Pride Agenda on Tuesday, say ing that if elected to the U.S. Senate she would work to overturn the controversial policy, put in place by her husband during his first term in office. The group supports eq ual rights for gays. · Her position was first reported in today's New York Times, which learned of Mrs. Clinton's comments from participants at the fund-raiser. " Gays and lesbians already serve with distinction in our nation's armed forces and should not face discrimination," Mrs. Clinton said in a statement her office later issued to the Times confirming her comments at the fundraiser. "Fitness to serve should be based on an individual's conduct, not their sexual orieniation. " Although she sai d she didn 't expect Congress to approve such legislation now, Mrs. Clinton said the Pentagon should take steps to reduce the instances of gays being discharged from the military, the Times said. It is the second time in recent months that Mrs. Clinton has broken away from White House policy. In September, she opposed the president's pardon of members of a Puerto Rican terrori st group. While her position puts her at odds with an administration policy, she is in line with the views of her likely Republica n Senate rival, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Aides to the mayor say Giuliani has been critical of the "don 't ask, don 't tel l policy" from the beginning. Mrs. Clinton's statem ent also put her in line with Democratic presidential candidate Bill Bradley. Bradley's opponent, Vice President AI Gore, whom Mrs'. Clinton has endorsed, supports "don' t ask, don' t tell," but says it should be enforced more compassionately.

Middleport, Ohio Page 10 • The Dally Sentinel Ohio Senate rejects House version of tobacco plan COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - House and Senate lawmakers must sit down in the next month to craft a • compromise tobacco spending plan after the Senate, which wants to spend the money overl2 years, rejected a 26-year blueprint approved by the House. In voting 18-8 Thursday night against the House bill, Senate Republicans also said the y objected to a House-approved provision to spend some of the tobacco money on prescription drugs for the poor and elder· ly. By a 78-10 vote earlier Thursday, th e House approved a 26-year spending plan for the $10.1 billion tobacco settlement, including a proposal to review spending priorities after 12, 18, and 24 years. That review process, however, "was not sufficient as far as my members were concerned," said Senate President Richard Finan, a Cincinnati Republica n. Of equal concern to Senate Republicans was the proposal by Rep. Jerry Krupinski, D-Steubenville to spend 5 percent of the $1 billion set aside in the plan's Public Health Trust Fund to help poor peopl e and senior citizens pay for prescription drugs and oxygen needed for respiratory ailments. " I do not want the state to be involved in prescription drugs," Finan said. " If we start down I hal path we do not have enough money in the stale budget to handle that problem." Finan said he' ll talk to House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, R-Reynoldsburg, next week about setting up a conference committee that will explore compromises between the 26-year House plan passed Thursday and the 12-year plan passed by the Senate last month . , Senate Minority Leader Ben Espy, D-Columbus, said he hopes the committee will keep most of what Gov. Bob Taft's Tobacco Task Force recommended in October. The prescription drug proposal "is a slight deviation from what the task force recommended, but I think it's worth it," he said. He also signaled that Democrats might be open to a shorter plan if more money was spent in the early years on public health. " If you change the years, at least you got to look at the numbers again, too, " Espy said. Davidson· said she hoped a Hmise-Senate confer- ence committee could resolve the differences in the two versions by early January. Many lawmakers will pe busy with their political cam paigns for the March 7 primary, which is two months earlier than the last Ohio House elections. " I would hope they have a conference report when we come back. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic." she said. Taft praised the House bill, saying it gives the tob acco spending plan stability and allows the money to be spent where it can do the most good : on public health, schools and biotechnology. Rep. Peter Lawson Jones, D-Shaker Heights and the ranking Democrat on the House Finance Co mmittee. said he got most of what he wanted in the final version of the bill, although it still didn ' t contain enough money for health programs. " I still troubles me that we haven't done more to meet the health care needs of Ohioans," Jones said. The House plan approved Thursday also bans smoking in three new Ohio prisons and restricts smok· ing in other Ohio prisons, according to a change proposed by Rep. Rex Damschroder, R-Fremonl. In addition, it extends a provisio n allowing public hospitals to receive money for uncompensated care to private hospitals. House Finance Chairman Robert Corbin, R-Dayton, said legislators made a good plan better. Taft's task force " did an excellent job of providing a blueprint," Corbin said. "We're making it better by improving money for schools and public health ." Rep. Gene Krebs, R-Camden, echoing concerns that 26 years is too long a time period for setting spending priorities, said the 26-year plan was " insulting to legislators who ' ll serve here in the future." Lawmakers indefinitely postponed a proposal by Rep. James Jordan, R-Urbana, to use the entire $10.1 billion for a tax cut. Rep. Rose Vesper, a New Richmond Republican and a tobacco farmer, voted for the bill but said including tobacco 'farmers in criticism of the tobacco indusfry was unfair given how little was known about the dangers of smoking in years' past. " We cannot hold individuals responsible for what they did not know was harmful ," she said.

But it appears one more big push of support for the project is needed, and we are asking all governmental entities, civic organizations and citizens of the county to attend this public hearing an,d demonstrate to the State of Ohio that there is an united front of Meigs County residents whb are determined to see this highway completed and Meigs County be given the opportunity to grow economically with the rest of the State.

The upgrading of ,this section of highway will make the completion of the Capitol Corridor linki!l.J! with the Ravenswood connector. This is a key to bringing economic development to Meigs County. This highway will play a significant part in enticing new business and the expansion of existing business, bringing job opportunities to the residents of Meigs County. This project is absolutely essential for the future improvement in the quality of life for Meigs County residents. In addition to the impact on the economy of the county,it is essential that US 33 between Athens and Darwin be upgraded to alleviate the safety hazards to the public when traveling the existing, narrow, winding road from Darwin to Athens. ./ Bearwallo"· Ridge Church or Ctlrlst Pastor:Tcrry Stcw<tr t Sund ay School-9:30a.m. w ~m h ip - 10:30 u.m., 6:30p.m. Wednesda y Services · 6:30p.m. Pomeroy First Baptist East Main St. Sunday School · 9:30a.m. Worship · 10:30 a.m. t'irst Baptist Church REIDER SURVEY of jogger Assembly of God Maranatha Baptist Church Burlingham · 14Z- 7606 Pastor: John Swanson Sunday School - 10:00 a. m.

Stanislav Gusev. desc ribed by U.S. agents as a 54ye,u·-old employee of the technical sec ti on of Moscow's SVR spy age ncy. has bee n ordered out of the ~...:ou nt ry. No w hundreds of State DepartIJlCnt and other U.S. offi cial s are hcing interviewed in an attempt to find out how and when the bug was planted. " We don't have a suspect," according to this government official, who described the hi gh)y secret investigation Thursday night on condition of anonymity. "We' re looking at and haven't eliminated any possibility." Other agents are interviewing all the participants in 50 to I00 meetings that occurred in the bugged conference room while Gusev was outside. Their goal is to determine e.actly what he might have heard. Still other agents are briefing the security officers of other federal buildings around Washington, because "we don't imagine the Russians would take this e•tremely sophisticated device and usc it for the fi rst time on such a hard target as the State D~partme nt," the government offi cial said. "This is as aggressive as you get," the offi cial said. "This was a very hold move." In vestigators doubt Gusev. who arri ved in this country in March, plan ted the bug because there is no record he ever entered the building. The Ru ssian bug was disgui sed so it would not be easily recognized, thi s offi cial said. In vestigators are tryi ng to determine whether the Ru ssians . "Someone would have had to come into the room to survey it, take measurements and probably photos and come back for the installation ... he said . The bug was a rad io transmitter that could broadcast conversati ons .from the room, but the first detectors U.S. agents used were not sensitive enough to pick up the signal. "This is obviously a very serious breach," Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters Thursday. But the earliest assessments of damage were cautiousl y mild, the government offi cial said later, because " there are other, more sensitive locations in the State Department that would have been of more value to Russian intelligence." Dave Carpenter, the State Department 's top diplomatic security official, told reponers the device was not planted in the offices of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright or any other senior official. Although Gusev was detained on a day President Clinton visited the building to hold a news conference, Assistant FBI Director Neil Gallagher told reporters there was no evidence the Russian diplomat was able to time his visits to coincide with important meetings. Based solely on the topi cs listed on State Department logs of the meetings Gusev allegedly monitored, the government official said, "The initial reaction is that he didn't gather a lot of sensiti ve infonnation, but as we catalogue what went on in those meetings, that assessment could chan ge." He added that U.S. agents did nol usc the room to stage phony conversations for Guscv's benefit. Of particul ar interest to the Russians would be anv information about American plans io amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty to pennit deve lopment of a U.S. mi ss ile defense system. The United States says it needs the system to protect against potential nuclear threats from Iraq and North Korea, but Russian military ofll cials believe the real target is Russia. At times, the strain s in relations between the counlries are reminiscent of the Cold War era, which ended almost I0 years ago. Last week, Russia ordered the expulsion of a U.S. diplomat in Moscow, Cheri Leberknight, after accusing her of attempting to obtain secret military information from a Russian citizen. Holder denied the U.S. move was retaliation for that. U.N. eyes weapons inspection plan UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Britain has formally introduced a broad new 'I proposal to return weapons inspectors to Iraq while offering Baghdad the possibility of suspending sanctions, capping a yearlong debate that still divides the Security Council. The draft resolution was being finali zed overnight and was expected to be di sc ~ssed further today, after the Security Council votes on a six-month extension to the U.N . humanitarian program in the country. Council members on Thursday reached agreement to extend the oil-forfood program , which allows Iraq to sell $5.2 billion in oil over six months to buy food and medicine for its people. Baghdad halted oil exports Nov. 22 after the council approved a two-week, then a one-week extension - stopgap measures pushed by the United States in a bid to speed along negotiations on the comprehe ns iv~ resolution. Iraq has since said it would resume pumping. Britain's comprehensive resolution would return weapons inspectors to Iraq, improve the functioning of the oil -for-foOd program and offer to suspend sanctions if Baghdad cooperates full y with inspectors and shows progress toward answering their remaining questions about its programs to build weapons of mass destruction. , The arms experts left last December ahead of airstrikes launched by the United States and Britain for what they said was Iraq's failure to cooperate with inspectors. Iraq has barred them from returning until the Security Council lifts the economic sanctions it imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwai t. used to pay for grassroots organiZinjl. voter idcntilkation, get -out-the- vote drives and i<suc ads, though there may he less of a focus on national TV ads than in I'.196.

After meeting with sherifrs Sgt. Howard Mullins, whe serves as Crown. City's marshal, and Deputy Chad Wallace, about a dozen citizens agreed that · forming patrols in the area to detect and report suspicious activity to the sherifrs office was the best way to stem crime. Wallace, who serves as the sheriffs liaison with a simile,l crime watch program for Greeno field and Walnut townships, advised citizens that it can form patrols to become activel:f involved in the reportinf process, or take a reactive stance by meeting with deputies anlj discussing their problems.
