BY HOPE ROUSH
HROUSH@MYOAILYREGISTER.COM

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va.- U.S. 35 is well
on its way to being complete despite much debate
over how the remaining
14.6 miles of highway
will be funded.
Regardless of public
outcry and a vote by the
Mason
County
Commission rescinding
their suppo1t of tolling the

highway, it was decided
that tolls will fund the
completion of U.S. 35.
Earlier this month, the
West Virginia Supreme
Court justices ruled that
the
West
Virginia
Parkways Authority could
proceed with their public
ht::arings fur lht: Lull project and appealed he commission's rescinded vote.
The public hearing for
Mason County residents
regarding the highway is

scheduled for Monday,
Dec. 27 from 4-8:30 p.m.
in the courtroom of the
Mason
County
Courthouse. During the 46 p.m. portion of the meeting, those in attendance
will be able to visit stations regarding different
aspect of U.S. 35. A public comment period then
will take place from 68:30 p.m.
Commissioner
Rick

to attend the upcoming
hearing.

Feds want reporting for high-powered rifle sales
BY ALICIA A. CALDWELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON
Moving to crack down on
gun smugglers, the federal agency that monitors
weapons sales is asking
the White House for
emergency authority to
require that dealers near
the Mexican border report
multiple purchases of
high powered rifles.
According to a notice
published Friday in the
Federal Register, the
Bureau
of Alcohol,
Tobacco. Firearms and
Explosives has asked the
White House to approve a
requirement tha! border-

area gun dealers report
the '&gt;ales of two or more
rifles to the same customer within a five-day
period.
.
The move by ATF.
intended to help Mexican
authorities in their campaign against violent drug
gangs, is likely to face
stiff opposition from gun
rights advocates.
"This is nothing more
than a political policy that
seems to be based more
on Mexico blaming the
United
states
for
Mexico's problems," said
Chris Cox, the NRA's
chief lobbyist. "To focus
the efforts on law abiding
gun owners is not a seri-

ous approach. It won't do
anything to disrupt a
multibillion dollar criminal enterprise."
The proposal was first
by
the
reported
Washington Post.
Scot Thomasson, ATF's
chief spokesman. said the
agency expects to the plan
to be approved and implemented. ATF wants the
White House Office of
Management and Budget
to sign off on its request
by Jan. 5.
High-powered
rifles
have become the weapon
of choice for Mexico's
warring drug cartels.
More than 30,000 people
have been killed in

Mexico's drug war since
President Felipe Calderon
launched an offensive
against the powerful drug
gangs shortly after taking
office in late 2006.
Officials on both sides
of the border have said
these types of weapons
are routinely bought
legally in the United
States and then smuggled
Mexico,
where
into
firearms sales are highly
restricted. The propo$ed
reporting
requirement
would apply to sales of
two or more semi-automatic guns more powerful
than .22-caliber rifles tbat
use a detachable magazine.

ATF tracks weapons
found in Mexico and has
tied tens of thousands of
recovered guns to U.S.
dealers, but the agency
has been criticized for not
doing enough to curb the
flow of guns.
The new reporting
requirement, which mirrors one already in place
for
handguns
and
revolvers, would be the
"greatest investigative
tool to identify firearms
traffickers," T homasson
said.
Last month, a report by
the Justice Department's
inspector general criticized
the
agency's
Operation Gunrunner as

being narrowly focused
on individual gun buyers
and not larger smuggling
organizations believed
responsible for significant numbers of guns
being shipped across the .
border.
The.proposed reporting
requirement on multiple
sales was among several
recommendations made
by the inspector general,
Thomasson said.
If approved by the
White House, the new
requirement would affect
nearly 8,500 border-area
gun dealers in Arizona,
California, New Mexico
and Texas and be in place
for 180 days.

U.S. gas demand should fall for good after '06 peak
Bv JoNATHAN FAHEY
ASSOOATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The
world's biggest gas-guzzling nation has limits after
all.
After seven decades of
mostly
uninterrupted
growth, U.S. gasoline
demand is at the start of a
long-term decline. By
2030, Americans will bum
at least 20 percent less
gasoline
than
today,
experts say. even as millions of more cars clog the
roads.
The country's thirst for
gasoline is shrinking as
cars and trucks become
more fuel-efficient, the
government mandates the
use of more ethanol and
people drive less.
"A combination of
demographic change and
policy change means the
heady days of gasoline
growing in the U.S. are
over," says Daniel Yergin,
chairman
of
IHS
Cambridge
Energy
Research Associates and
author of a Pulitzer Prizewinning history of the oil
industry.
This isn't the first time in
U.S. history that gasoline
demand has fallen, at least

temporarily. Drivers typically cut back during
recessions, then hit the
road again when the economy picks up. Indeed, the
Great Recession was the
chief reason demand fell
sharply in 2008.
But this time looks different. Government and
industry
officials
including the CEO of
Exxon Mobil- say U.S.
gasoline demand has
peaked for good. It has
declined four years in a
row and will not reach the
2006 level again, even
when the economy fully
recovers.
In fact, the ground was
shifting before the recession. The 2001 terrorist
attacks. the war in Iraq,
Hun·icane Katrina and
pwnp prices rising to a
nationwide average of $3 a
gallon for the first time in a
generation reignited public
debates about the political
and economic effects of oil
imports
and
climate
change. Also, the popularity of SUVs began to wane,
and the government started
requiring refiners to blend
com-based ethanol into
every gallon of gasoline.
Americans are burning
an average of 8.2 million

barrels - 344 million gallons - of gasoline per day
in 2010, a figure that
excludes the ethanol
blended into gasoline.
That's 8 percent less than
at the 2006 peak, according to government data.
The decline is expected
to accelerate for several
reasons.
• Starting with the 2012
model year, cars will have
to hit a higher fuel economy target for the first time
since 1990. Each carmaker's fleet must average 30.1
mpg, up from 27.5. By the
2016 model year, that
nwnber must rise to 35.5
mpg. And, starting next
year, SUVs and minivans,
once classified as trucks.
will count toward passenger vehicle targets.
• The auto industry is
introducing cars that run
partially or entirely on
electricity, and the federal
government is providing
billions of dollars in subsidies to increase production
and spur sales.
• By 2022, the country's
fuel mix must include 36
billion gallons of ethanol
and other biofuels, up from
14 billion gallons in 2011.
Put another way, biofuels
will account for roughly

one of every four gallons
sold at the pwnp.
• Gasoline prices are
forecast to stay high as
developing economies in
Asia and the Middle East
use more oil.
There are demographic
factors at work, too. Baby
boomers will drive less as
they age. The surge of
women entering the work
force and commuting in
recent decades has leveled
off. And the era of
Americans
commuting
ever farther distances
appears to be over. One
measure of this, vehicle
miles traveled per licensed
driver, began to flatten in
the middle of the last
decade after years of sharp
growth.
"People wildly underestimate the effect that all
this is going to have" on
gasoline demand, says
Paul Sankey, an analyst at
Deutsche Bank. Sankey
predicts by 2030 America
will use just 5.4 million
parrels a day, the same as
in 1969. Aaron Brady, an
analyst at CERA, predicts
a more modest drop, to 6.6
million barrels a day.
As a result, families will
spend less on fuel, the
country's dependence on

foreign oil will wane and
heat-trapping emissions of
carbon dioxide will grow
more slowly.
The shift from SUVs
began in 2004 and has
saved Americans $15 billion on gasoline this year,
according to the National
Resources
Defense
Council.
By
2020,
improved fuel economy is
expected to lower annual
carbon dioxide emissions
by 400 billion pounds, the
equivalent of taking 32
million cars off the road.
In reality, there will be'
27 million more cars on
the road - a total of 254
million - a decade from
now. according to government projections.
Environmentalists are
looking at the trend with a
mixture of disbelief and
delight. A decade ago they
thought demand would
continue to grow 1-2 percent a year far into the
future.
"Now you look and,
wow, we've actually bent
the curve," says Roland
Hwang,
transportation
director at the Natural
Resources
Defense
Council.
There are scenarios that,
while unlikely, could tern-

porarily upend the longterm trend. If the U.S.
economy booms and
global oil prices fall.
demand for gasoline could
rise.
"Sometimes what we
think is a structural shift is.
really just a temporary
phase," says Antoine
Halff, an analyst at the
brokerage firm Newedge.
"U.S.
demand
has
rebounded
with
a
vengeance before.''
To be sure, America will
continue to burn more
gasoline than any other
country. in total and per
capita, for decades to
come. China is second in
total consumption, but,
despite its explosive
growth, still uses just half
of what the U.S. uses.
Canada is second in consumption per capita but is
on its own path toward a
more fuel-efficient economy.
While America's diminishing demand will temper global demand, it will
be more than offset by
rapidly growing demand
in China, India, the
Middle East and Africa.•
As a result, declining U.S
gasoline demand will not
bting lower pump prices.

New govs take office amid historic budget crisis

NEW YORK - New

Andrew

of at least $9 billion when
he takes office in January.'

$8 billion.

Gene Zopp of Gallipolis
Ferry, who has been very
vocal against the tolls, also
encouraged other residents
to attend the meeting and
voice their concerns.
Zopp, like many Mason
Countians, wants to see
the completion of U.S. 35
become a reality, however.
he believes tolling is not
the way to fund the
· remaining 14.6 miles of
highway. He said that he
sees three possibilities in
stopping the tolls.
"The West Virginia
Legislature can step in and
enforce the intent of SB
427 for the people to be
able to say "no" and deny
(Parkways Authority) the
toll proposal. Will our legislatures stand up for the
people who elected them'?
I don't know. 1 have personally written each legislature
making
that
request,'' Zopp said. 'The
voices of Mason County
residents in the Dec. 27
public hearing civilly saying. 'no' to Parkways
Authority (could stop the

rich 1970s and '80s will have to figure out this
time how to close a budget
gap projected at more than
$25 billion.
Twenty-six states elected new governors last
month - 17 Republicans,
eight Democrats and one
independent - and now
they are going to have to
reconcile their principles
and campaign promises
with some harsh fiscal
realities: This is the worst
budget climate for the
states in at least a generation.
Cumulatively, . the states
face budget shortfalls of
nearly $140 billion next
year, according to the
Center on Budget and
Policy
Priorities,
a

Washington think tank. To
make matters worse, billions in aid to states from
the federal government's
$800 billion stimulus plan
is set to dry up early next
year.
The incoming governors
face some paint;ul and
politically unpopular decisions, with the easy fixes
long gone. Among the
unsavory alternatives: tax
increases or deep cuts in
programs voters hold dear,
such as education, public
safety and health care.
''I think we have to be
realistic with the people of
South Carolina: This is
gonna
hurt,"
said
Republican Nikki Haley,
South Carolina's incoming
governor. She has ruled

out raising taxes or
increasing fees for such
things as hunting, fishing
and drivers' licenses.
Bob Williams of the
conservative think tank
State Budget Solutions
said new governors will be
able to take a fresh look at
the proper role of state
government.
"You have to redesign
and refocus state governments around what are the
real functions of state government. If it's not a core
function, don't do it," he
said.
But even that prescription doesn't give governors much room to
maneuver.
A study by the Pew
Center on the States and

the Public Policy Institute
of California of five fiscally troubled states
found voters believe education and health care are
the core functions of government and should not
be cut, even though they
eat up a majority of most
state budgets - in some
cases up to two-thirds of
all spendmg.
At least nine incoming
governors have pledged
not to raise taxes to close
their states' budget gaps.
All but Cuomo are
Republicans.
Nick Johnson, director
of state and local programs for the Center on
Budget
and
Policy
Priorities, said they may
have to reconsider that

pledge when campaigning gives way to governing.
''You saw a lot of candidates promising deep cuts
in spending, but few of
them were very specific in
what they would cut,'' he
said. "The key is to put
everything on the table,
and that includes the revenue side."
That's the message
Connecticut's incoming
Democratic
governor,
Dan Malloy, is conveying.
The former Stamford
mayor said he will have to
raise taxes and cut services to. close a projected
$3.5 billion shortfall, one
of the largest of any state A
as a percentage of itsW
overall budget.

tolls). I encourage our residents to attend and sign
up to make a public statement. That portion of the
hearing begins at 6 p.m. at
the courthouse, but you
need to sign up to be heard
and/or you can put your
comment in writing and
submit it.
"Residents need to be
pointed, plain and fum.
Remember, we are a
Christian people; the use
of shouting or expletives
or uncontrolled anger will
only hurt our cause," Zopp
added. "Charleston is trying to paint us as rude and
bullies. However, I feel we
are the ones being bullied
to just shut up and roll over
on this issue. I also feel we
have been vocal. but civil
in opposing this travesty."
Zopp also said that civil
action could be taken in
circuit court by charging
the parkways authority
with •·fraudulent inducement."
"It is worth the effort
and expense to try to have
the vote declared "null and
void" to the parkways
authority and force them to
come to our county commissioners for approval or
denial again after the

required public hearings
and full disclosure regarding tolling this road. The
West Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals has
denied us the right to a
rescinded re-vote, but they
have not denied us the
right to have the first vote
nullified based on fraudulent inducement," he
added.
While many are upset
with the tolls, some residents are pleased that U.S.
35 is now closer to completion. Following the
supreme court's decision
to allow the parkways
authority to continue with
the U.S. 35 public hearings, Charles Lanham,
member of the local U.S.
35 Advisory Council, said
that he was happy to see
plans for the highway
move forward.
"I won't speak for the
U.S. 35 committee, but I
am pleased that we were
able to get a decision and
direction that we can go on
to get Rte. 35 to be a fourthat's
lane highway always been our goal,"
Lanham said.

Home for the Holidays
BY PAMELA K. MATURA
AREA AGENCY ON AGING DISTRICT 7

"Oh, t~ere's no ~lace like home fo~ the holidays."
There 1s somethmg about the holiday season that
takes our hea1t and mind to thoughts of home and
memories of Christmases past. Maybe it's a special
meal, the scent· of Christmas cookies bakincr in the
oven, or a holiday tradition that makes yo~ smile.
No matter the memory, the holidays often lead us
home to connect with family and friends.
As baby boomers, going home often means reconnecting with aging parents and relatives. Maybe we
haven't had a c~ance to visit often throughout the year
due to our hectic schedules or because we live out of
town. Maybe we see our family quite often but have
more time to "just visit" during the holiday season.
E!t~er way, a~ult children may find that when they
VlSlt, they notice that Mom or Dad's health mi.crht be
declining. and they become concerned and sen;e that
their relative could use some assistance in maintaining their safety and quality of life in their own home.
Some signs to watch for that may indicate your
loved one needs some assistance to remain in their
home safely:
• A decline in personal hygiene. Your loved one
may not feel up. to completing daily hygiene or may
seem to be unaware of hygiene needs.
. • Dif~kulty man_aging medications. You may notice
p1Ils lymg around 111 unusual places, unfilled prescriptions or empty pill bottles.
• Falls or near falls, with or without injury.
• Increased clutter in the home or a general Jack of
cleanliness of the living environment.
• Outdated and spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Difficulty cooking or preparing meals. This can
include problems following recipes or directions,
burned food, lack of awareness of whether they have
eaten, lack of appetite, or reliance on "junk food" that
requires no preparation.
• Difficulty keeping track of personal schedules,
especially missing medical appointments.
• Difficulty managing finances. You may notice
bills piled up but unpaid, overdue bills, overdrawn
checking accounts, lack of budgeting.
• Decreased interest in previous hobbies and friendships.
• A general decline in physical health. They may
have lost weight and appear more frail. You may
notice bruising or other injuries, increased forgetfulness, or less stamina for daily activities.
If you decide that help is needed, the Area Acrency
on Aging District 7 is here to help. Our staff is ~vail­
able to provide information and answer questions
about a number of care needs and options that are
available. After speaking with a specially trained
nurse or social worker concerning your family member's needs, an in-home consultation to assess your
loved one's situation will be provided at no cost to
identify risks and determine what assistance or preventive measures could improve their quality of life.
So, as you return "home for the holidays," we
encourage you to spend quality time with your aging
loved ones. Take the time to share special memories
over a cup of tea or cocoa. Offer to take them for a
ride to view the Christmas lights or attend a
Christmas conce1t. As you enjoy your time together,
be alert for the warning signs listed above and call our
Agency at (800) 582-7277 if we can be of assistance.

Christmas at_ Katyn
BY

PAUL KENGOR

The people of Poland got an
early Christmas present this year.
It's bittersweet but long awaited,
and indeed a gift of sorts - and
from an unlikely source: Russia.
In Moscow, the State Duma,
Russia's legislature, passed a
statement conceding Soviet
responsibility for the Katyn
Woods massacre, one of the 20th
century's worst war crimes.
The roots of this atrocity date to
September 1939, when the Nazis
and Bolsheviks jointly invaded,
annihilated, and
partitioned
Poland. The Soviets seized thousands of Polish military officers
as prisoners. Their fate was sealed
on March 5, 1940 when Stalin
signed their death warrant, condemning 21.857 of them to '"the
supreme penalty: shooting.'' This
we now know conclusively
through the surviving NVKD
document.
The officers were taken to three
execution sites, the most infamous of which bears the namesake of the crime: the Katyn
Forest, 12 miles west of
Smolensk, Russia. There, these
Polish men were slaughtered. The
Bolsheviks covered their crime
with a layer of ditt.
The apology from the Duma
was something Poles waited
decades to hear. It was something
many of us who have studied and
written about this incident have
waited to hear. And it is too bad
that Franklin Delano Roosevelt is
not around to hear it.
FDR '? Yes, FDR. Let me
explain.
The Katyn massacre was first
exposed by the Nazis in April
1943. By then, the Nazis had
betrayed the Hitler-Stalin "NonAggression" Pact. They discovered the mass graves, and immediately converted the atrocity into
a propaganda coup to split the Big
Three Allies. The Soviets, in turn,
claimed the Nazis had done the
crime. Stalin and his goons

attempted to pin the massacre on
Hitler and his goons. Stuck in
between was the civilized world,
which sought to determine which
devil did the deed.
FDR was among those stuck in
between. Where would he stand?
Truth be told, FDR, who was
terrific in stopping Hitler, was terribly naive in assessing Stalin. He
was often inclined to give ''Uncle
Joe" the benefit of the doubt.
Nonetheless, he realized the need
to take a .close look. Thus, he dispatched George Earle, former
Democratic
governor
of
Pennsylvania, and a war hero, as
special emissary to investigate
Katyn.
Tn short order, Earle discerned
the obvious, which was not what
FDR wanted to hear. Not only had
the president made it a habit to
turn a blind eye toward things
anti-Russian and anti-Stalin, but
he needed Russia and Stalin to
help vanquish the Nazis. This
killing field created by America's
wartime ally would not look good
to the American public.
Earle made his case: "About
this Katyn massacre. Mr.
President. I just cannot believe
that the American president and
so many people still think it is a
mystery or have any doubt about
it. Here are these pictures. Here
are these affidavits and here is the
invitation uf llu:: Gt:nuau guvt:rument to let the neutral Red Cross
go in there and make their examination. What greater proof could
you have?"
FDR was wont to disagree:
"George, the Germans could have
rigged things up."
Earle was frustrated. As he later
put
it,
including
in
a
Congressional inquiry, Roosevelt
was adamant that the claims were
"entirely Gennan propaganda and
a German plot.'' The president
said to his emissary: "I'm
absolutely convinced that the
Russians didn't do this." An
amazed Earle responded: "Mr.
President I think this evidence is
overwhelming.'' lt was.

•

It was also no surprise. The ,
Soviets had been shipping captured Poles into Russian territory •
since 1939. Tltis was hardly a ,
secret and was reported in •
sources like the New York Times .
(April 15, 1940).
But FOR refused to believe
Earle. Even then, the debate wasn't over. Earle saw FDR 's denial
of Katyn as a microcosm of a
more dangerous denial of the
overall "Russian situation,'' and
how the USSR "deceived" too ·
many Americans, including in the •
White House, which was being
duped by ''Uncle Joe" and his
cromes.
.
FDR was getting annoyed with '
Earle. "George,'' the president .
lectured, "you have been worried
about Russia ever since 194.
Now let me tell you. I am an ole
man than you and I have had a Io
of experience." The Democratic
governor again pressed the evidence, but to no avail.
George Earle later expressed his
exasperation, saying he felt
"hopeless."
Alas, hope springs eternal. And
for the Polish people, a people of
unwavering faith, they never lost
hope that the truth about their
loved ones would be told. even
while denied by quarters as high
as the Oval Office. With the
action of the Russian Duma, their
faith and hope was finally rewarded, not by America's wartime
president but by the nation that
perpetrated this heinous act.
At this season of faith and hope.
may the souls of Katyn rest in
peace.

Cough
From PageA1
whooping cough and ODH has an electronic monitoring system to track the disease should it begin to travel
south. Wilcox said she's noticed no whooping cough
cases in the surrounding counties though she encourages the booster especially for caregivers of young
infants who can't be vaccinated against it until they're
a few months old.
Though most adults have had the vaccines at one
time or another, it wears off over time. The CDC is
presently recommending a pertussis booster at age 11
or 12, as research has found that the immunity from
the five original vaccinations declines by that age.
Ohio is one of 20 states that permits parents to refuse
immunizations based upon some form of strong personal belief. It is unclear at this time if lack of immunizations is playing a part in the outbreak. according to
ODH.
Like the CDC, Wilcox recommends the tetan!JS,
diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) booster shot for adults
or caregivers of infants or those who share a home
with an infant. In Franklin County. the Columbus
Public Health has been encouraging the same group to
obtain booster vaccinations as well as adolescents and
adults to slow the spread which is affecting practically
all age groups.
According to the CDC, whooping cough- (technically known as pertussis) is most severe for babies, who
often catch the illness from a family member or other
caregiver. More than half of infants less than one year
of age who get the disease must be hospitalized. .
Pertussis usually starts
with cold-like symptoms,
and maybe mild cough,
but not every runny nose
is pertussis. Pertussis is
often not suspected or
diagnosed until a persistent cough with spasms
sets in after 1-2 weeks.
Boosters for whooping
cough are available at the
MCHD at no charge
though donations are
appreciated.
