"The big tent used for the Civil War balJ alone cost the group $1 ,800," said Powell. "We can really use that $2,000." State grants are awarded through a competitive process, explained PowelJ, noting that Ohio Arts Council grants tike the one received by the Association this week are given on a matchinll basis. That means orgaruzations which receive OAC funds are required to match state tax dollars with additional pubtic and private funds.

Bill Young, Anne Chapman and Bill Kitchen discussed the fate of the old Pomeroy Junior High with Pomeroy Mayor Victor Young Ill and village council Wednesday. After listening to pros and cons of what to do with the building, village council unanimously decided to demolish the building. (J. Miles Layton) ·council votes to demolish school BY J. MtLES LAYTON jlayton@ mydailysentinel.com POMEROY By a unanimous vote of Pomeroy Village Council Wednesday, the old Pomeroy Junior High building wilJ be demolished. "I'm disappointed," said Anne Chapman, who wanted the building restored. ''I think they made a mistake.'' Chapman made an impassioned plea to village council to keep the building where she went to junior high standing. She said there.i,_s not a building of that size or quality in the village. If the building was to be restored, it could have provided space for small conventions, government offices, a sports complex or a place to hold festivals indoors when the weather is bad . Bill Young, a former Pomeroy Village Council member, said the junior high could have been used as a county jail or for housing for senior citizens. Young, Who was once an engineer with a fire protection company, said the junior high is an asset to village because it is a Class A fire rated building making it very safe from fires. Mayor Victor Young III said the building should be demolished as a matter of economics. He said the village needs to take advantage of the money the insur· ance policy is providing, which he estimates to be $200,000 - part of which would cover !he cost for demolishing the building. Based on his discussions with Jeffers Excavation. Young estimates the cost for demoli shing the building would be approximately $35,000. Young said if the building remains, the village might never have the money again to demolish the structure. "We don't even have the money <o take down old and burned ou< houses in the village," he said. "We are struggling to keep our heads above water without taking on another project." Young said once the property is cleared, the vil>lage could sell the valuable river front land for at least $100,000. part of which could be used to repay the $22,000 loan it still owes on the property. Since there is not a lot of space for business in the village, the mayor said · removing the building w.ould altract new business and create jobs. Chapman said the old junior high could have been made economically viable for the community. Space in the building could have been ren<ed out. As a con-. vention or civic center, it would nave attracted tourists to the village. The mayor countered that the village will have trouble tlnding people to rent the second floor of village hall. which was once Pomeroy High School, when tl1e Meigs Local school district offices relocate. Council member Ruth Spaun said she surveyed 50 people for their opinion on whether or not to demolish the school. The survey reported that 48 people want the building torn down. and two people did· n't care either way. Spaun sa id that while many citizens are nostalgic about the junior high, they feel that it is time to demolish it. . Chapman said state and feder.U grants could be available to pay for restoring the building. Mayor Young countered that grant money is drying up everywhere. Chapman tried to convince council that the building is structurally sound and could be restored with a little bil of_ work.

The drug makers' and coalition's program would provide discounts of 25 percent to 40 percent off retail prices for seniors and lowmcome Ohioans, said Dale Butland, spokesman for the Coalition for Affordable Prescription Drugs. The group represents unions, AARP/Ohio, the Ohio Council of Churches, the Ohio Nurses' Association and the League of Women Voters. Butland and Jenny Camper, spokeswoman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of American, or PhRMA, provided few details. Butland said AFLCIO leaders would release them at a news conference on Thursday. The coalition will drop its attempt to put the issue before voters if the Legislature implements the plan as approved by the two groups, Butland said. Backers had collected enough signatures to get it on the Nov. 4 ballot, but PhRMA challenged the certi- fication of thousands of them. , Sen. Robert Hagan, a Youngstown Democrat, has introduced bill similar to the coalition's plan each of the last two sesswns. Republicans have blocked votes by the full Senate on both bills. He said he was pleased the tentative agree· ment had been reached. "I think the compromise they reached is one that was born out of the fact that the threat of a ballot issue was enough to bring them to the table," Hagan said. "We need something this significant to reduce the price of prescnption drugs.'' · Senate President Doug White and House Speaker Larry Householder said they needed more details before decidin~ how to proceed with legislation. But y.'htte, .a Manchester Republican, satd it was important that lawmake~ stick closely to the agreement or the whole deal could be called off. "Our goal is to pass without changes," White said. "If we go and get off in other waters, ... then we 're back to the mud and mire of poli tics again and we end up with nothing." Sen. Lynn Wachtmann, a Napoleon Republi can and chairman of the Senate Health, Human Services and Aging Committee, held up Taft's prescription drug plan for more than a year after pharmacies complained they would not be guaranteed a fee from rebates drug manufacturers were expected to offer. He said it was his understanding that major pharmacy chains did not object to the tentative agreement. but he said lawmakers should be cautious putting the plan into place. "If government uses its sources to artificially lower the price of pharmaceuticals, is it going to do it to the extent that it diminishes their ability to do research on new dru gs~·· Wachtmann said. " I guess I have a lot of questions.'' Travelers take detours, change plans to avoid Isabel CLEVELAND (AP) Even as Hurricane Isabel swirled closer to shore, Ed Stewart of Ohio had dreams of sun, surf and seafood. Nevermind that he and his wife, both retired, postponed a trip they had planned with two other couples to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Stewart said he hopes the damage won't be bad. "We'll wait a week or so and see what happened after the storm and try to reschedule," said Stewart. "The later it gets in the season, the easier it gets to reschedule." Many travelers around the country .changed their plans or canceled their trips altogether to stay out of the path of the hurricane. Isabel appeared to be on a course to hit the North Carolina coast on Thursday and move up through Virginia and into the Great Lakes.

They had planned to stay until Saturday. "It was our dream vacation to spend a whole week at the beach . Normally we have only been able to spend a couple of days at a time," said Susan Hustace. "And here it was cut short by the hurricane. It was very disappointing." Arizona Gov. · Janet Napolitano on Wednesday postponed a trip to North Carolina to learn about that state's early childhood education programs . "We decided that the most prudent thing would be to postpone the trip," spokeswoman Kris Mayes satd.

"We' re going to have a dinner that we can' t afford," McGreary said. "We just like to get away. When you're 45 years married and you're our age, you have to look at reality. It might be the last chance we get to do something like this.'' The hurricane has kept Albany, N.Y., travel agent Rosanna Aiuppa busy dealing with callers worried about flight delays.

But he likes what he's heard so far about the prescription drug discount program. Taft and legislative leaders were eager to learn more details of the drug plan but had to wait until the governing boards of the two groups decided whether to approve it. Their approval was expected Thursday. Taft and legislative leaders were briefed on the plan's outline on Tuesday. "From what I understand so far, it's very encouraging, very promising and we look forward to reviewing it in detail ," Taft said Wednesday. "We certainly need to do everything we possibly can to help our seniors and our lowincome c.itizens.''

County julige on Wednesday ruled tha~ a man jailed on child pornography charges should be released after an appeals court overturned his conviction. Judge David Cain of Franklin County Common Pleas Court said in a court filing that Brian Dalton has already been in jail 18 months and so has no further time left io serve. First Amendment lawyers believe Dalton is the first person in the United States suecess fully prosecuted for child pornography that involved writings, not images. Cain cited the July decision by the I Oth Ohio District Court of Appeals to dismiss the case against Dalton because Dalton got bad advice from his attorney at trial. The appeals court ruled 3-0 to send Dalton's case back to Franklin County Common Pleas Court. Dalton remained in Southeastern Correctional Institution in Lancaster Wednesday but was expected to be released Thursday, said · Benson Wolman, a new attorney. day's transactions, provided by Smith Partners at Advest Gallipolis. Wolman and a team of American Civil Liberties Union lawyers have argued that Dalton, 24, was wrong· fully imprisoned for what should have been constitutionally protected free speech or, in this case, writings. Dalton, of Columbus, pleaded guilty in July 200 I to pandering obscenity involvmg a minor, which falls under Ohio's pornography law. He later asked to withdraw the plea so he could fight the constitutionality of the law, but Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Nodine . Miller refused. ACLU attar· neys then appealed. . Dalton had argued that hi s former trial lawyer didn't inform him of the legal implications of a guilty plea or ask for an immediate dtsmissal on First Amendment grounds.

Others attending were Jim and Cole Durst Proposed fishing limits upset ·some charter boat captains TOLEDO (AP) - Charter captain Paul Pacholski is always out fishing when the weather .cooperates on Lake Erie. He understands the need to protect the prized walleye c oveted · by anglers, but he doesn't like how the state is proposing to do it ''I'm in it for the longterm ," he said. "This is what l do for a living. I'd like to do it for the rest of my life.'' Some charter captains are worried that proposed limits on walleye catches during the spring will cut deeply into their business. The Ohio Divis ion of Wildlife wants to reduce the daily limit of the number of walleye people can keep from four to three during March and ApriL The limit for other times would remain unchanged at six. The state says the change is needed to protect walleye during the spawning season and to revive the dwindling .popul ation of the popular sport fish . The final hearing on the proposal is Thursday in Columbus. The Ohio Wildlife Council is expected to vote on the changes in October. The state al so wants to impose a year-round 15-inch minimum size requirement for walleye that people are allowed to keep. Currently, there is no minimum length. But that's not what has some charter captains upset. Pacholski said he already has lost a couple of trips for April after some out-of-state customers canceled. "Word of it is getting out," he said. But he said he believes the state is trying to do the right thing and that he 'II accept the changes if it gets everyone on the same page of conservatton. Mike Matta thinks the proposed limits for March and April would cost him about half his business in those months. He normally makes about 18 trips early in the year and nearly all of his customers come from Indiana and Wisconsin . "Obviously some people won't want to come up because of that," he said. "They won't stay in the hotels so you'll have a rippl~ dow~ effect in the economy. Not all charter captains are bothered, though. The changes will have the greatest impact in western Lake Erie where walleye fishing is vital to business and brings in thou sands of tourists. "Guys in the Cleveland area don't care. They have steelhead and perch to fish for," said Bob Collins, president of the Lake Erie Charter Boat Association. Some in the fishing business think the state should do more to protect the fish popu- lation - even going as far as shutting down the walleye catch during spawning. There also have been suggestions that instead of reducing the catch limit in April and May, the state should cut the limit from six to four from September through March. Doing so would spread the impact across the lake, Collins said. "If the stated goal is to pro- . teet a certain amount of fish, what's the difference if I protect that fish in September or April," Collins said. The charter association sup· ports the wildlife division in their management goals and agrees with all of the proposed changes except reducing the limit in March and April, Collins said. Last year anglers caught about 700,000 walleye on the Ohio waters of Lake Erie, down from the 200 l catch of 1.2 million. Gary Hopp , who runs a charter operation near Port Clinton, said reducing the limits in the fall may make more sen se because that's when anglers are more likely to catch females . "Most of the fish that get caught in the spring aren't the big spawning females," he said. "Most females that are on the reefs aren't there to feed. They're there to spawn .''

However, since our daughter arrived, Mickey calls her names, avoids holding ·her, and yells at her to "shut up." I don't know what to do . !' ve tried talking to him about his behavior and have even offered to go to parenting class with him, but he refuses. He says he's already a parent and doesn't need "classes.'' As a last resort, I told him that if he continues 10 yell at her, I' m pack'mg up and he 'll never see us again. Mickey' s father was very abusive, and I'm afraid that history will repeat itself. Please help. - SINGLE MOM IN LINCOLN, NEB.

Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor NATIONAL VIEW Raise Is it not enough money in their pockets? The Shawnee (Okla.) Ne><·s-Star, on the congressional pay raise: Even though the economy remains sluggish. billions are being spent on the war in Iraq and the national debt will set a record for red ink. members of Congress are close to approving a pay raise for themselves. As though they don't earn enough already. House members have approved a hike that wi ll increase their pay to $158 .000 in 2004. That's up from the S15-l. 700 thev make now. Of course. ·the Senate must go along with the House members· ,·ote and the bill needs the signature of President Bush. A Senate Appropriations Committee already has approved a congressional pay raise as well in its version of a bill that will increase pay for all federal civilian and military employees. Congressional pay has risen from $136.700 in 1999 to more than the S 154.000 members of Congress receive today. That"s a pretty hefty hike considering that the nation's economy has been in a downward spiral for about three of those years now. · Although the nation's unemployment rate edged a bit lower last month. 93.000 jobs reportedly were slashed when analySIS thought that 12.000 would be added. This underlines how fragile the \!COnomy remains and that the recovery remains weak. Why. then. do members of Congress continue to pad their own pockets 0 About the only answer we seem to come up with is because they have the votes to do it and President Bush · most likely will go along with it as he has since he took office. . Thursday; September 18, 2003 GOP could make 2004 campaign nastiest ever Democrat s are already making this into one ·of the nastiest presidential campaigns ever. It could get much worse if Republicans again play the '·patriotism" card. Democratic presidential candidates haYe accused President Bush of being a "liar." a "phony" and a "cowbov" who "deceiYed" the country into war and now is "failing to protect American troops." According to \'arious Democrats. he is also "the most fiscally irresponsi ble president in American histo· ry" and runs the goYemment to benefit his "campaign mntributors." And. some of them sav. Bush got to be president in the first place becaus..: his puny "disenfranchised" black YOters in Florida and "stole" the 1000 election. Depending on .e wnts. the Iraq war could produce some very bitter campaign ads. showin2 Bush I andin~ in his llight suit aboard tile uss Abraham Lincoln with its sign "Mi ssion Accomplished" and then counting U.S. combat losses since then. Or. ads showing Bush and Vice President Chenev claiming that Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons. was working on nuclear weapons and had AI Qaeda links. then alleging that Bush "lied us into war... Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie calls what the Democrats are saying "political hate speech:· but he also has implied what we may hear from the GOP side. "While President Bush is attacking the terrorists .. the Democrats are attacking President Bush.'' he said . He made the \'alid anal ytical Morton Kondracke point that "in their effon to appeal to their hard-core anti· war and anti-president base in their party. (the Democrats ) are adopting a weak and vacillating foreign policy that wi II hurt them with the broader electorate ... But. the GOP proved itself capable in the ~002 campaign of savagely accusing Democruts of harming the war on terrorism by oprosing Bush. They could well do it again. 'Most notorious was the ad run by now-Sen . SaxbY Ch ambliss. R-Ga.. against then-Sen. Max Cleland. DGa .. who lost an ann and both legs lighting in the Vietnam \Var. ' ' The ad showed pictures of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hu ssein. Then a narrator dedared.' .. As America faces terrorists and extremist dictators. Max Cleland runs television ads claiming he has the courage to lead. He says he supports President Bush at every opportunity. but that 's not the truth . Since July. Max Cleland voted against President Bush's \'ita! homeland security efforts II times." Similar ads were run against other Democrats: it was pan of a concerted GOP strate gy. In late September last vear. Sen. Bill Frist. RTenri.. then chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 10ld me that he personally approved all his candidates· ads. And. he said that while the Iraq war itself was not a fit subject for anti-Democrattc ads. "gridlock on homeland security drives it home what (Democratic Senators) are not getting done and directs attention to issues we are. stronger on - defense. patriotism. suppon for the military ... Cleland. a war hero. was made out to be aiding America's enemies by joining other Democrats in tryiijg to protect the union rights of federal workers. One can onlv ima~ine what Republicans could do if. as seems certain. the Democratic nominee either opposed the Iraq war in the tlrst place or Bush's conuucl of it since. So far. the GOP has done little negatiw campaigning. Bush is out telling voters and fellow Republi cans what he's done and tried to do. But. in Senate testimony in late 200 I. Attorney General John Ashcroft said that "to those ... who scare peace-loving people with phantom> of lost libeny. my message IS this: Your tactics onlv aid terrorists. for they erode our national unitv and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enem1es and pause to America 's friends. TheY encourage people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil." Ashcroft now savs that debate about his anti :terrorist methods is healthy. but some Democrats have bitter!,· attacked Ashcroft. and the GOP might well exploit the ir criticism bv. accusing' them of "aiding terrorists." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said last week that "to the extent that the terrorists are given reason to believe that they might prevail in some way and they take heart from that and it leads to more money going into these activities or that leads to more recruits or that leads to more encouragement or more staying power on the part of the terronsts, obviouslY it makes our task more difficu lt .·· He added. "That does not mean there should not be debate ... as long as it's elevated and reasonably civil," but GOP operatives could well take a narrow view of what's "civil." In fact. some Democratic criticism isn't very civil. Bush himself has raised the stake s in the Iraq strugg le very high. Of the violence occurri ng there. he sa1d last Sunday ni ght. ''The terrorists haYe a strategic goal. They want us to leave Iraq before our work is done. They want to shake the will of the civilized world." Fortunately, in their Congressional · · Black Caucus/Fox News debate last week in Baltimore, the leadin!! Democratic candidates erased the impression that they want an early pullout from Iraq . They said they want to .. \\lin. '· But the GOP has shown it is not above using policy disagreement to accuse opponents of aiding the enemy.

WASHINGTON (AP) Top steel executives confidently predicted Wednesday that the Bush administration will keep steep tariffs on foreign-made steel in place for the entire length of the threeyear program. But a Democratic lawmaker from a key steel state warned that the president's re-election campaign appears to be the only hope for keeping the tariffs ,on track. Otherwise, lhe tariffs are "in a lot of trouble," said Sen. fohn D. "Jay" Rockefeller, DW.Va., who supports the tariffs Fiut fears they will be elimlnated unless politics prevails. · The tumult comes as the U.S. International Trade Commission readies two reports, to be released Friday, that are believed to hold the key to the tariffs' fate . Bush could decide, at any time after the lTC review, whether to keep or dump the tariffs. "We will review the lTC report, based on its merits, when we receive it," said White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan. The president enacted the tariffs, from 8 percent to 30 percent on certain kinds of foreign-made steel, in March 2002 to help the battered domestic steel producing industry regroup in the wake Thursday, September 18, of at least 35 bankruptcies and 50.000 furloughed workers since 1998. The tariffs are set to expire March 6, 2005. "The program has worked exactly as intended," said Thomas J. Usher, president and chief executive officer of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, noting that a handful of domestic steel companies have since consolidated with other producers to become more competitive with foreign imports. "We have done what we said we would do, we've done it under the expectation of this being a three-year plan. and we expect the president to continue that," Usher said. "I'm very confident" the tariffs will remain in place, echoed United Steelworkers of America President Leo W. Gerard. Bush's political and economic advisers are locking horns on whether to keep the tariffs, which could help him win votes in steel-making states including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinoiscrucial to his re-election. But the tariffs violate global trade laws, and, according to critics, have driven up steel prices and, in turn, forced small consuming companies to close. Lew Leibowitz, an attorney for the Consuming Industries Trade Action Coalition, said Bush has little to gain politically from keeping the tariffs. He noted that the Steelworkers, for example, have already endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Dick Gephardt in the 2004 race. • "So, politically, I think the situation is very different," said Leibowitz, who refused to forecast what the Bush administration will ultimately decide. "And then, economically, it's a no-brainer. Nobody who isn't being paid by the domestic steel producers thinks these tariffs are a good idea, economically." The Steelworkers labor union will hold rallies this weekend . in Pittsburgh, Detroit and Gary, Ind .. to gin public support for the tariffs. Steel consumers, meanwhile, will rally against the tariffs Friday in Minnesota. U.S. Commerce Secretary Don Evans, on a visit this week to Pittsburgh, said "there's probably merits on both sides" of the debate, according to Rep. Melissa Hart, R-Pa., who accompanied him around the Steel City. "He was noncommittal, but very open-minded," said Hart, a member of the Congressional Steel Caucus who wants the tariffs to remain in place. Harless seeks showdown on state lottery CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Jackson County lawyer Larry Harless believes that only a statewide ballot issue will allow West Virginia to include video machines among its lottery games. Harless said the Supreme Court petition he filed on behalf of two antigambling groups should set the stage :for a vote on the issue. : "Our short-term goal is to win :this lawsuit, but our ultimate goal is to put this before the J>eople," 1-l,arless said Wednesday. "If the people want these ·aut here, at every crossroad and every village, so be it." Harless' petition alleges the state constitution does not allow the casino-style video games that the Legislature and Gov. Bob Wise added to the lottery system in 200 I or the racetrack-based slot machines adopted in ·1995. But his court filing also contends that the state's traditional lottery games, including tickets, scratch cards and the online multistate Powerball game, are operating illegally. "A legal ticket lottery can still be illegally operated," Harless said. "These tickettype lotteries still have to follow the law." Harless' petition asks the justices to unplug the • video machines and require "the complete shutdown of any and all legal bona fide lottery games until ~uch time a~ they are in and remain in full compliance with such legal requirements." Harless alleges the Lottery Commission has failed to ensure that retailers offering either video or traditional games post the odds of winning, payout percentages, game rules, warnings about gambling addiction and other notices required by law. "! ' m also talking about the ticket lotteries," Harless said. "However, I'm not sure without taking more evidence." Powerball administrators discounted the legal threat Wednesday. "I can't imagine the court taking that action," said Charles Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association. "At this point, we would not treat it as a serious issue.,, The governor's general counsel, Alex Macia, noted that Harless' petition focuses almost entirely on video machines. Macia believes that should bar Harless from attacking the traditional lottery, but said the state isn't taking any chances. "We treat all lawsuits that could severely impair the state's finances as serious and substantial," he said. "We will defend aggressively the continuing operation of the state lottery system, both video and tradi tiona!." The traditional games grossed $192 million in the budget year that ended June 30, while racetrack slot machines collected $717 million and the newer casinostyle video machines grossed $172 million . Lottery revenue funds such things as the PROMISE college scholarship program, the School Building Authority, senior services and the general budget. Money from video lottery machines adopted in 2001, meanwhile, is earmarked for financing bonds meant to fund awards from the Economic Development Grant Committee. The $225 million in grants approved by the committee remain on hold pending a case consolidated by lhe Supreme Court last week. The justices combined a petition from grant winners seeking their funds with one filed by Harless on behalf of two taxpayers. Because that consolidated case includes the legality of video lottery among its topics, the Supreme Coun could add to it the petition Harless filed on behalf of the antigambling groups. Supreme Court spokeswoman Michelle Mensore said Wednesday the justices want the Lottery Commission to respond to Harless' latest lawsuit by Monday. The court may discuss the case at a conference next week, Mensore said .. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Residents of West Virginia's easternmost counties dug in for Hurricane Isabel Thursday, preparing for heavy rains expected to arrive late in the evening . Isabel was a strong Category 2 storm with sustained winds near 105 mph early Thursday, with her projected path cutting straight across Morgan County and bringing as much as a foot of rain. Gov. Bob Wise declared a state of emergency for all of West Virginia, effective Thursday. "This is a precautionary measure," Wise said after a briefing from emergency officials at the Capitol in Charleston. "It gives us the tools we need to respond to anything that takes place." Wise ordered Division of Highways crews and special liaison teams from the state National Guard to areas most in danger from Isabel. The Red Cross, meanwhile, planned to set up shelters in 28 counties. Like Wise, utility companies were taking precautions. Some contracted with tree trimming businesses to tty to minimize storm damage such as fallen limbs that can snap power lines. A convoy of orange trucks from Asplundh Tree Expert Co., based in Willow Grove. Pa., headed east on Interstate 68 on Wednesday. with drivers responding to a variety of utility requests from across the East Coast. "It's like going to war," said Steven Asplundh, the company 's storm coondinator. With the ground already saturated fj"om recent storms, Morgan County Emergency Services Director Dave Michael was :·very fearful" of severe flooding when the rain begins to fall after sunset Thursday. Anywhere from 4 to 12 inches is projected, and Michael said that could set the rural county of 15,000 up for its worst disaster since hurricane-driven flooding in 1985 that ravaged 29 counties and killed 47 people. Michael planned to recommend that schools be shut dowri Friday, and he was preparing a shelter at Warm Springs Middle School just outside Berkeley Springs. Heavy rain and flooding west of Morgan County would fill the Potomac Ri ver basin, and that would dramatically affect Paw Paw. ·Michae l said . "Otherwise. it 's more of a local tlooding problem with s01aller streams," he said. Berkeley Sprin gs, whi ch sits in the Warm Springs Run watershed , is protected by eight fl ood control dam s upstream. ''but if we get over 3 inches of rain , any add itiona! water will come over the dam and flood the town," he said ..:We' re very worried about that." Greg Stewart, owner ofThe - Inn and Spa at Berkeley Springs, said his staff has filled sandbags to keep water from rushing in the doors to the historic l)ed and breakfast. "We' re concerned becau se we've al ready had so much rain this year," said Stewart, whose property sits beside Warm Springs Run . "We have seen it rise fairly high already. It's right there ready to bubble over." The inn was getting cancellations Wednesday, but Stewart said it also had unexpected guests - those headed home from washed-out trips to resort towns farther south. The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for Thursday night through Saturday morning for Morgan and the other Eastern Panhandle counties of Pendleton. Hardy, Jefferson, Hampshire , Berkeley, Mineral and Grant. Another 21 counties were under tlood watches Thursday nighl through Friday night: Barbour, Braxton, Brooke, Fayette, Hancock, Harrison , Lewis, Marion, Marshall , Monongalia, Nicholas, Ohio, Pocahontas, Preston, Raleigh , Randolph, Taylor. Tucker. Upshur, Webster and Wetzel. In Hampshire County, Emergency Services Director Mike Crouse said workers were stocking shelters and bracing for the triple threat of tlooding from the · Cacapon River and the North and South branches of the Potomac. It was "very likely" schools there would be closed Friday as well, he said. "Through the entire Eastern Panhandle, runoff is imminent," Crouse said. ·At Harpers Ferry National Historical Park , which sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah 2003 Extension Corner I Preparing for lady beetle invasion BY HAL KNEEN ri vers in Jefferson County. employees began packi'ng thou sands of exhibits and artifacts into boxes Wednesday afternoon .

Many homeowners are calling to receive a.dvice about pruning trees and shrubs around their yards, This is not the time to be pruning, as plants are preparing .to slow down their leaf and twig growth in anticipation of the upcoming winter months. Late summer and fall pruning encourages further new growth development which in cold years will cause twig die back. Most trees and shrubs like to be pruned in early spring or just after flowering.

SYRACUSE -"Cooking with Herbs" was the program topic presented by Joy Bentley at a recent meting of the Wildwood Garden Club held at the home of Chris Chapman. Bentley brought several . herb specimens from her garden for members to identify and share how they use them in dishes. Among the herb specimens were basil, garlic and onion chives, marjoram, sage, tarragon, thyme, lemon balm and spearmint. The most popular use of basil is with tomato dishes, while chives are commonly used on baked potatoes.

(AP) - The outer rings of a weakened but still potent Hurricane Isabel be$an lashing the North Carohna coast early Thursday with gusting winds, while already rainsoaked areas as far away as Pennsylvania prepared for possillly ruinous flooding, The Category 2 storm was expected to slam into the Outer Banks early Thursday with 105 mph winds and storm surges of up to 11 feet. But forecasters were worried that, as with Aoyd in 1999; the worst damage would come from flooding far inland. Most of the barrier islands were nearly empty by late Wednesday when the first squalls from Isabel buffeted the coast. More than 300,000 people in North Carolina and Virginia were urged to move to higher ground. Even seasoned storm veterans succumbed to the five days of warnings that started when Isabel was a Category 5 leviathan with 160 mph winds. But a few thousand hardy - or foolhardy - souls i~nored mandatory evacuation orders and remained to see if Isabel would shatter North Carolina's "Crystal Coast." " I'm a Vietnam veteran," said attorney Wally Courie, who was toughing it out in his home just off Sportsman's Pier in Atlantic Beach. "I've got PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). It's called a flaftening effect. I've been throu~h so much ... hardly anythmg gets to me anymore." A hurricane warning was in effect from Cape Fear in southern North Carolina to the Virginia-Maryland line, and tropical storm warnings extended from South Carolina to New Jersey. At 5 a.m. EDT, Isabel was about !55 miles southeast of North Carolina~s Cape Hatteras. It had picked up speed, moving northwest at around ! -l mph. It's expected to stay at a si milar strength as it moves closer to land and could .spawn isolated tornadoes 10 eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia. Forecasters said Isabel's remnants could hit Quebec by Saturday. AccuWeather Inc. said Wednesday that the storm's northwest track, hitting North Carolina's angled coastline with a directfunch, will have the effect o pushing water toward the mainland, producing 12-foot storm surges and waves up to 40 feet high off the Virginia capes. "This is probably going to ram right into the coast headon," said Kerry Schwindenhammer, a meteorologist with the State College, Pa.-based forecasting firm. "It's not a case of a glancing blow." In the nation's capital, federal and district offices were ordered closed, and Congress canceled votes so members could return home.

When asked what hobbies he had, Sang was fond of replying: "Just football. It's kept me busy and interested and the only time I worry is the time between the last game of the season and first practice the next summer."

(AP ) and penaltie s. On Monday. Hol co mb informed reporters that he wasn 't doirig any interview s. Coach Butch Davis then made excuses for hi s QB . saying his quarterback had played well but was undone by the Browns ' inability to gain positive yards on first down , self-destructive penalties and the inability of Cleveland's receivers to get open. Davi s also said he wasn't switching to Couch . Two days later. Holcomb took one for the team . "It' s all on me because I brought it on myself," he said. "I haven 't played good fo r two weeks . I put the team in bad situations, and I've got to fess up to it." Holcomb made just fo ur career starts in seve n years before th e se ason opener against Indianapoli s. He didn't ex pect to come in and pass for 400 ya rd s every game. but he didn 't think he would struggle this badly. "I knew it wasn't go ing to be easy,'' he said. "Thi s is not an easy game. It's not an easy leag ue . But it comes down to winnin g and losing. Up to thi s point. it has n't be'en good on my part ." Wid e rece iver Kevi n John so n figured Hokomb would take his lumps. Stepping in as a starter is far different from coming in off the bench. Expectations are hi gher. So is the pressure. "Everybody know s this is hi s first time as a starter, let's be hone st about thi s," said Johnson . "It' s easy to come in as the backup and make pl ays. You co me in the building on Monday morning as the starting quarterback. it's a different responsibility. Everyon e thought it was goi ng to be easy. It 's a tough job ." Davis. who went on a "g ut feeling" when he named Holcomb his starter, wasn't surprised to he ~tr that hi s 4uarterback had owned up to hi s shaky start. 'Th at's the kind of leader he is," Davi s said. "He's tough on him self because he has high expectations . He has played well in the past. and wants to pl ay well agam . Holcomb' s poor swrt can be traced ro him trying to be too perfec t. Instead of takin g advantage of what defe nses are giving him. Holco mb has been forcin g the issue. He needs to relax . but until he gets that first win. that's going to be hard to do. "I think everyone has been in the pressing mode ," he said. " You have to go the speed limit sometimes. You ltave to go 55 (mph). You can't go 90 or 100 and that 's what I' ve been trying to do. I' ve been tryi ng to go I00 when 55 is bette r." Espe~:ially when you're a No. I.

The Cherry Ridge Band evolved from a group of friends getting together to share their common hobby and love of music . The group would get to¥ether and play on Fnday nights. Friends would stop by and soon requests for the group to play at various functions started to roll in. The group plays bluegrass and older classic country music, as well as much requested gospel music programs. Cherry Ridge has appeared at many· local churches as well as the bean dinners , and many Bob Evans Farms functions, Senior Citizen Center, andat many other gatherings, reunions, etc, through! the area. The group consists of Seaford Jordan on Guitar and many of the lead and harmony vocals . Seaford is also an outstanding pedal steel guitar player and when the program leans more toward a country music flavor he switches to that instrument. Seaford is joined on the vocals by his wife Bonnie and Linda Turner, who also sings many of the lead and harmony parts and plays several instruments. · Randy Callihan plays banjo as well as guitar and is beginni,ng to learn the steel guitar. · The newest member of the group is Orlen Brumfield who is a very , accomplished -bass player who played for many years in the Columbus area . Rounding out the C group is Stuart Me omas, a very fine bluegrass mandolin player. Stuart also performs with another group , but rejoins Cherry Ridge regularly schedule permitting. Most of the group started playing in their teens, which means collectively there . is between 150 to 200 years of pickin' . and singing experience within the group · The glue that holds the group together is the common love of music, and the appreciation the community has shown by allowing them to share their hobby. Cherry Ridge is frequently joined by close friends, Donnie Boggs and Rick Saunders on some of the country music programs.
