New Haven Christmas 1tings' fans sing praises of trilogy's final installment Christmas a.m. "Thi s one was better, more fai thful to the original story than the first two," said Davis. Stacy Prassas, a 41-yearold computer programmer who was leaving the same theater as it let out just after Church. 5:30a.m., said she was coming back later in the morning to see it again . "No one seeing the movie at 2 a.m. is going to tell that they're not impressed," said Prassas. "I thought it covered all the points in the book .... The truth of the matter is, it's a terrific film . I was very excited." On Tuesday, 99 theaters across the nation showed all three film s in the trilogy back-to-hack, with "King" debuting midnight Wednesday. Numerous treats were arranged for the diehard fans, with some theaters selling up buffets for the between-movie breaks. The trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Vi ggo Elijah Wood, Mortensen, Ian McKellen and Sean Astin, began with the "The Fellowship of the Ring" in 2001. "The Two Towers" fo llowed in 2002. Moviegoers said Jackson's fin al stroke was well worth the wait, enrapturing even seat-weary fans, many of whom showed up dressed as their favorite characters. "The crowd was cheerin g and clapping at certai n point s," said Joe Kings haw, who attended a marathon screening in Baltimore. '"The crowd got dead silent during some other really serious moments." Fans who endured roughly nine hours in a seat at Loews Theatres Metron in San Francisco emerged into darkness at about I :30 a.m. local time Wednesday - also with high praise for the tri logy's conclusion.

The Ohw Department of Transportation is conducting a lO-day test on the lights by keeping them on 24 hours a day to determine if there are any electrical problems with the lighting before the job is finished. Young said three or four lights are not working properly now and ODOT is trying to determine where the problem is along the electrical lines. There are 55 lights, each 13 feet high, along the six-foot wide , 7.500 foot walkway.

Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager: News Editor READER'S PageA4 VIEW Thanks A sign qfhope Dear Editor: Last wee k seemed to start as most do. I was a man of many worries ami com plaints. Among other things. I worried about my famil y. dreaded the upcoming work week. thought the Friday, Decembe r 19, 2003. Getting the facts straight about Christmas One of my you ng correspondents has sent me this question: ·some of my teachers say the star that appeared at the time Jes us was born was just a bright light whi ch shone in the heavens when Ju piter. Mars and Saturn came close together in the sky. I always thought God put the star there to lead the Wise Men. Can you tell me 0 ' - Sarah. DEA R SA RAH : Yo ur teac hers are probably rig ht. But th is does not mean th at you are wro ng. Ast rologers 111 ancient times believed that importalll events were ann oun ced in the heavens. They we re acqu ai nt ed wi th Hebrew lore. which said a star would be a sign of th e birth of the Mess iah .

By dra gg in~ Saddam Hu ssein out of ht s hidey-hole in a farm hut south of Tikrit, the 4th lnfantrv Division has inflicted a severe blow to the Democrats' thesis that everything is going badly in Iraq. Counting the number of schools that have reopened has never been a very convincing response to the almost daily reports of one or two American soldiers killed by tenorists. But the capture of Saddam is a devastating blow to the whole concept of resistance to the American occupation of Iraq, and here at home it will force the Democrats to fall back on less vulnerable ways of criti cizing 'President Bush. · One way, which the Democrats have been te stin g gingerly in . recent weeks, is to charge that Bush simply· tricked America into attacking Iraq . Rob Reiner. th e ho1sil y liberal actor, put it succinctly in introducing ' to a Howard Dean Democratic audience in Iowa recentl y: ' George Bush said we had lo .go into Iraq becau se it had weapons of mass destruction. He lied.' . Reiner is peddling the the- ,, " William Rusher ory that Iraq never had ·any weapons of mass destruction, or had destroyed them before the American attack in March, and that Bush knew it. Since no caches of such . weapons have yet been found, the charge has at least a superficial plausibility. All we need to do, to make it mesh with the known facts, is assume that Bush is a liar. · But before Democratic orators follow Reiner down that seductive path, they had better look over their shoulder and , notice what prominent Democrats were sayiflg, according to media sources, , just a few years ago: . ' We want to seri o usly diminish the threat posed by Ira q' s weapon s of ma ss destruciion pro gram, ' President Clinton , .. . . ·-- ····--- ·- ·-~- ·--·-· .. Feb . 17 , 1998.

Tom Daschle, Carl Levin, John Kerry and others, Oct. 9, 19.98. ·We ha ve known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapon s of mass destruction.' Sen. Ted Kennedy, fall , 2002 . ' We know (Saddam) has stored secre t suppli es of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country,' AI Gore, Sept. 23. 2002.

Bob Gra.ham (chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee), Dec. 8. 2002. Now, when President Bush made exactly the sam~ charges in justifying our attack on Iraq, there were just three possibilities. Either (I) the above Democrats wen! conscious liars, and Bu slr was just a belated joiner of U1eir conspiracy, or (2) they' were mi sled by faulty intelh-~ gence, and there is no reasott to suppose Bush wasn't just as misled as they were, or (3}, the y were, and still are, righi about Iraq's weapon s of mass destruction (as, on thi s theory, time will in due cours~ demonstrate) , · and so was· and i s, President Bush. ~ In short, whatever theory the Democrats adopt to juslli fy the above-quoted state• ments of their highest and best-mformed leaders will serve equally well to ju stif~ B~h. · · How about it,' ladies an~ gentl emen, What's youF choice ? !

"What was reall y impres· sive to me is it came out the 'first five minutes of the game and it went as every· one talked about : Oklahoma scored, it' s 7-0," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said in a businessas-usual tone. Th en Tres sel' s eye s widened and hi s voice raised. "Boom! From that moment on they took over. That 's impressive," Tressel said, shaking hi s head . "When you're behind 7-0 to the team that 's supposed to beat you, yet from that moment on it was all Kan sas State."

REED breed@ mydailysentine.Lcom POMEROY Meigs County officials will never know the amount to be lost in sales tax revenue due to the clos· ing last week of the Pomeroy Kroger slore, but some losses in tax receipts can be measured Meigs County Auditor Nancy Parker Grueser said Friday the Ohio Department of Taxation has refused to disclose 10 tl:te county government what the Pomeroy store paid in sales tax.. Meigs County collects one percent sales tax in addition to the state tax, and will need to estimate the loss when determining how much money the county has for operations next year. The county also collects per- sonal property taxes on slore fix· tures and equipment, and aa:ording to public records in Grue...er's ofhce, Kroger paid , $8,291.89 in personal property tax this year. Much of that equipment is expected to be relTIOved from the store in coming weeks, but Kroger wiU be liable for payment of tax on all property left in the store on Dec. 31. One Holding, Inc., the Roanoke, Va.-based company which holds title to the West Main Street store pays over $16,000 in real estate tax to the county each year, and will continue to be responsible for those property taxes until the building is sold. John Musser. who will a=me the Pomeroy mayor's office next week, estimates the 'ass of village income tax revenue from Kroger employees at between $7,OOJ and S8.(XX) per year, but said the loss will likely be offset by the new Fruth Pharmacy ston:, which opened earlier thi.\ month just across the Pomeroy corporation line from its old Middleport location. That new store is exJ:eC!ed to genemte upproximately $6,(XXJ per year in local income tax, Musser said, so will fiDbably make up mo;;t of the loss in sales tax crealed by the Kroger dosing. MuS§Cr said income laX payments from server> and other employees at the Wild Horse Cafe, which opened la11 fall, will also help off..et the Kroger loss. Meanwhile . there is no way fo r the county to make up the loss Kroger has paid in one-percent sales tax or personal property taxes, without another business opening in Kroger 's place . .NATIVITY SC .E NE Have a healthy, jolly Chri~mas The snow was coming down Friday but little Patrick Evans didn't seem to mind.
