Member SIPC. ' the potential sales - when sales go out of the community - a leakage is defined.· Sales figures used in the study were based on information provided by InfoUSA, a private research company which uses information of public record to determine sales. The study also has identified demographic details · that could assist the economic developmen.t office , retail business owners and · potential entrepreneurs in planning business. According to Davis, the Pomeroy/Middleport's market area is expected to see a decrease in population, an increase in the average age of the residents, a projected increase in median home values, a higher . rate of home ownership, and ~ lower level of education. The study is not, Davis said, designed to serve as· a prescription for retail suecess or a plan of action. It merely presents raw data for analysis and understanding. Perhaps the most significant statistic presented i.n the analysis relates to the county's total retail shopping leakage. The study shows that $78 million dollars that could be spent on products sold locally is spent, instead, in other communities. · "That should be signifi. cant to everyone who lives, works and shops in Meigs County," Varnadoe said. "It puts a dollar value on the importance of supporting local retailers and shopping in the local community." scoRING 'Jf\LLEY , I +I '' .. • ' I '1 I ' I~ I • II '" 7 ·~' (Editor 's Note: Specific .results of the Retail A:farket Analysis will be included in a story to appear in the Sunday Times-Sentinel.)

' the potential sales - when sales go out of the community - a leakage is defined.· Sales figures used in the study were based on information provided by InfoUSA, a private research company which uses information of public record to determine sales. The study also has identified demographic details · that could assist the economic developmen.t office , retail business owners and · potential entrepreneurs in planning business. According to Davis, the Pomeroy/Middleport's market area is expected to see a decrease in population, an increase in the average age of the residents, a projected increase in median home values, a higher . rate of home ownership, and ~ lower level of education. The study is not, Davis said, designed to serve as· a prescription for retail suecess or a plan of action. It merely presents raw data for analysis and understanding. Perhaps the most significant statistic presented i.n the analysis relates to the county's total retail shopping leakage. The study shows that $78 million dollars that could be spent on products sold locally is spent, instead, in other communities. · "That should be signifi. cant to everyone who lives, works and shops in Meigs County," Varnadoe said. "It puts a dollar value on the importance of supporting local retailers and shopping in the local community." scoRING 'Jf\LLEY , I +I '' .. • ' I '1 I ' I~ I • II '" 7 ·~' (Editor 's Note: Specific .results of the Retail A:farket Analysis will be included in a story to appear in the Sunday Times-Sentinel.)

Worst of all. many people seem to consider them a single big ball of wax, sharing the characteristics of both the party and the movement. For the sake of clarity, let us analyze them and distinguish them from one another. ·· The Republican Party is the much older of the two, having been founded in 1854' and fi~lded presidential and lesser candidates in every election since.

There had been earlier manifestations of conservative opinions in American politics right from the start. but they rarely added up to a coherent body of related !houghts, and none managed to survive over a significant period of time . The Democratic Party, of course, was even older, having emerged from the congeries of political alliances that characterized the nation's. tirst quarter-century or so. And ther~ have been leftist movements of one sort or another in American politics almost from the swrt. By the end of the !'9th century. those of a socialist stripe were most prominent, and they have remained so ever smce.

D'ALESSIO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER , AP photo Riot pollee officers protect themselves with shields as rioters throw stones at them in Belgrade, Serbia Thursday. Serb rioters set fire to an office inside the U.S. Embassy Thursday anCl police clashed with protesters outside other embassy buildings after a large 'demonstration against Kosovo's declaration of independence. Kosovo Bv SLOBODAN LEKtc ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BELGRADE, Serbia Angry Serbs broke into the U.S. Embassy and set fire to an office Thu,rsday night as rioters rampaged through Belgrade's streets, putting an exclamation point of violence to a day of mass protest against Western support for an independent Kosovo. At least 150,000 people rallied in Belgrade, waving Serbian flags and signs proclaiming "Stop USA terror," to denounce the bid by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority to create their own state out of what Serbs consider the ancient heartland of their culture. . The United States strongly criticized the violence and the Serb response. White House spokesman Dana Perino said . the embassy "was attacked by thugs" and Serb police did. n't do enough to stop it. State Department Sean spokesman McCormack said the U.S. warned Serbian Prime 'Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic that it would hold them personally responsible for further damage. Protesters burned American flags and the mob that attacked the embassy tore down the U.S. flag there. Crowds also ransacked a McDonald's, looted stores and fought with police in ' front of other diplomatic compounds in a display of the resentment seething in Serbia over the secession of what has been .its southernmost province. A charred body was found in the U.S. Embassy after the ftre was put out, but all staff were accounted for, embassy spokeswoman Rian Harris said. Belgrade's Pink TV said the body appeared io be that of a rioter. At the mass rally earlier, Kostunica attacked the U.S. and others for supporting Kosovo's independence. "Is there any oth~r nation on Earth from whom (the great powers) are demandiltg that they give up their identity, to give up · our brothers in Kosovo?" he told the crowd. · Coming after smaller outbursts of violence in Belgrade as well as attacks on a United Nations building and police checkpoints in Kosovo, the surge of rioting underlined the determi. nation .of Serbs not to give up Kosovo quietly. The Serbian government has said it won't resort to military force, but the street violence could be a tactic to slow moves by more countries to follow the U.S., Britain, ....Germany ;.and. France in quickly recognizing Kosovo's independence. Russia and China lead the states Sftlftd!ng witll"Serbia, worrying that Kosovo' s example could encourage separatist sentiment elsewliere. The Kremlin has underlined its displeasure by hinting it might back · separatists in pro-Western nations such as the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Serbian officials dismissed violence earlier in the week as "insignificant," and no police were guardin~ the U.S. Embassy compound even though it had been targeted ,previously. American officials said the offices had been closed at midday because of security concerns. . • Miloraa Veljovic, a .top Interior Ministry official, said that security forces had the situation under control and that mobs had been bro' ken up. . · Masked men smashed their way inside the compound's consular building, tore down the U.S. flag and tried to throw furniture from an office.

The death of Kathleen Savio four years ago was initially ruled an accident. She was found dead in her bathtub shortly before her · divorce with Drew Peterson was finalized. Savio's body was exhumed late last year after he was named a person of interest in the disappear. ance of his fourth wife, Stacy. He has said Stacy Peterson ran off with anothe man, but her relatives deny any affair and say she would not have willingly left her two youn~ children. "We have been mvestigat. ing this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year," Will County State's "Attorney James Glas~ow said. "We now have a sctentific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such." Peterson, 54, ha& denied any involvement in either case and he has not been charged with wrongdoing. He was a sergeant and 29year veteran in the Bolingbrook, Ill., police department when he resigned after coming under suspicion in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Authorities are no\ pre- . pared to name a suspect in Savio's death, but police and a grand jury are actively investigating both cases, said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman ·.for Glasgow's office. Peterson's attorney did not immediately return a telephone call Thursday from The Associated Press. Savio's family members said Thursday they always believed she had been killed and the confirmation was welcome. "But it could have prevented if people would have listened to her before she was killed." her niece Melissa Doman said. Savio, 40, had filed an order of protection in 2002 · after Peterson alle~edly knocked her down, npped off a necklace and left marks on her body. She wrote in the order that she feared Peterson could kill her. Doman declined to say who she thou~ht was responsible for Savto's death. She said .she did not want to interfere with any current investigations or leads that authorities may have. Peterson's second wife, Vicki Connolly, has said that durin~ their marriage, an increasmgly controlling Peterson hit her and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. Connolly said police sometimes came to the house when the couple were having problems, but she said the officers were friends of theirs and no reports ever were tiled. Peterson's first two marriages ended in divorce. .

D'ALESSIO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER , AP photo Riot pollee officers protect themselves with shields as rioters throw stones at them in Belgrade, Serbia Thursday. Serb rioters set fire to an office inside the U.S. Embassy Thursday anCl police clashed with protesters outside other embassy buildings after a large 'demonstration against Kosovo's declaration of independence. Kosovo Bv SLOBODAN LEKtc ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BELGRADE, Serbia Angry Serbs broke into the U.S. Embassy and set fire to an office Thu,rsday night as rioters rampaged through Belgrade's streets, putting an exclamation point of violence to a day of mass protest against Western support for an independent Kosovo. At least 150,000 people rallied in Belgrade, waving Serbian flags and signs proclaiming "Stop USA terror," to denounce the bid by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority to create their own state out of what Serbs consider the ancient heartland of their culture. . The United States strongly criticized the violence and the Serb response. White House spokesman Dana Perino said . the embassy "was attacked by thugs" and Serb police did. n't do enough to stop it. State Department Sean spokesman McCormack said the U.S. warned Serbian Prime 'Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic that it would hold them personally responsible for further damage. Protesters burned American flags and the mob that attacked the embassy tore down the U.S. flag there. Crowds also ransacked a McDonald's, looted stores and fought with police in ' front of other diplomatic compounds in a display of the resentment seething in Serbia over the secession of what has been .its southernmost province. A charred body was found in the U.S. Embassy after the ftre was put out, but all staff were accounted for, embassy spokeswoman Rian Harris said. Belgrade's Pink TV said the body appeared io be that of a rioter. At the mass rally earlier, Kostunica attacked the U.S. and others for supporting Kosovo's independence. "Is there any oth~r nation on Earth from whom (the great powers) are demandiltg that they give up their identity, to give up · our brothers in Kosovo?" he told the crowd. · Coming after smaller outbursts of violence in Belgrade as well as attacks on a United Nations building and police checkpoints in Kosovo, the surge of rioting underlined the determi. nation .of Serbs not to give up Kosovo quietly. The Serbian government has said it won't resort to military force, but the street violence could be a tactic to slow moves by more countries to follow the U.S., Britain, ....Germany ;.and.

The Kremlin has underlined its displeasure by hinting it might back · separatists in pro-Western nations such as the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Serbian officials dismissed violence earlier in the week as "insignificant," and no police were guardin~ the U.S. Embassy compound even though it had been targeted ,previously. American officials said the offices had been closed at midday because of security concerns. . • Miloraa Veljovic, a .top Interior Ministry official, said that security forces had the situation under control and that mobs had been bro' ken up. . · Masked men smashed their way inside the compound's consular building, tore down the U.S. flag and tried to throw furniture from an office. They set fire to the office and flames shot up the side of the building.

The death of Kathleen Savio four years ago was initially ruled an accident. She was found dead in her bathtub shortly before her · divorce with Drew Peterson was finalized. Savio's body was exhumed late last year after he was named a person of interest in the disappear. ance of his fourth wife, Stacy. He has said Stacy Peterson ran off with anothe man, but her relatives deny any affair and say she would not have willingly left her two youn~ children. "We have been mvestigat. ing this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year," Will County State's "Attorney James Glas~ow said. "We now have a sctentific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such." Peterson, 54, ha& denied any involvement in either case and he has not been charged with wrongdoing. He was a sergeant and 29year veteran in the Bolingbrook, Ill., police department when he resigned after coming under suspicion in Stacy Peterson's disappearance. Peterson told· the (Joliet) Herald-News that the ruling · in Savio's death shocked him. "You're kid- , ding me .

Authorities are no\ pre- . pared to name a suspect in Savio's death, but police and a grand jury are actively investigating both cases, said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman ·.for Glasgow's office. Peterson's attorney did not immediately return a telephone call Thursday from The Associated Press. Savio's family members said Thursday they always believed she had been killed and the confirmation was welcome. "But it could have prevented if people would have listened to her before she was killed." her niece Melissa Doman said. Savio, 40, had filed an order of protection in 2002 · after Peterson alle~edly knocked her down, npped off a necklace and left marks on her body. She wrote in the order that she feared Peterson could kill her. Doman declined to say who she thou~ht was responsible for Savto's death. She said .she did not want to interfere with any current investigations or leads that authorities may have. Peterson's second wife, Vicki Connolly, has said that durin~ their marriage, an increasmgly controlling Peterson hit her and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. Connolly said police sometimes came to the house when the couple were having problems, but she said the officers were friends of theirs and no reports ever were tiled. Peterson's first two marriages ended in divorce. .

Following the comeback season, Lewis said he liked Cleveland and wanted to remain with the Br.owns, who won a club record seven home games and were kept out of the AFC playoffs only by a tiebreaker.

West never found a spot in Seattle's rota.tion. Nagging foot injuries shuffled him farther down the bench, and when coach P.J . Carlesimo finally settled on a rotation, West was often the odd man out. West played in just 35 games. starting only five, and averaged 6.8 points in almosl . 21 minute s. He played 30 or more minutes just four times all season, afler starting 118 games the previous two seasons in Boston. He could develop imo the point g!lard the .Cavaliers have lacked since James arrived.

She also was followed by ,her entourage that included her enthustasttc parents, swtng coach Davtd Leadbetter and' two handlers from the W1lltam Morns Agency "Today was obviOusly a conftdence booster." Wie satd "Ltke l satd, my goal ts Just to slowly get back mto 11. Today was a very post!Jve round for me, and I'm just gomg to keep staymg tn the present, not gettmg too far ahead." In Wle Or as Wte put 11, JUSt, "groove along " The Stanford freshman was in the first group off the I Oth tee and made her move after the turn. She birdied four of five holes to take the lead at 4 under. Wie split the fairway with a booming drive on par-5 first, just one of six fairways she htt all day. She then hit a wedge to .2 feet to set up a btrdte. She enthusiaStically shook her f1rst after droppmg a 4-footer for another btrdte on the next hole. Wie made a difficult downhtll putt from !5 feet for b1rd1e on her 13th hole and missed an eagle try from 25 feet from the 'tringe on the tollowmg hole. Wie got into a little trouble in the sand late, finishing bogey-par-birdiebogey. Wtth one foot in the sand and the other on the grass, her shot out of the bunker on the par-4 sixth sailed across the green, 25 yards from the pin. She made a I 0- footer for bogey. On her final hole, she drove left into the bunker and her second shot fell way short of the green, Circled by fans packed five deep. She JUSt mi'ssed a !0foot par putt. On Tuesday, Wie said she has accepted that her injured wrists will never be I 00 percent agam but are as" good as they can be. Both wrists were inJured last year but Wie kept playing, and struggling. She made only three cuts. In nine starts, she wtthdrew twice and only broke par twice in 19 rounds agamst women. Wte has played well at Ko Ohna, m1ssmg a playoff by a shot in the inaugural event in 2006. She remembers that tournament clearly. But 2007 is out of her mind. "!don't really want to ... remember last year," she satd. "I felt like moving forward from today." , She is starting the season agamst the women for the first t1me m ftve years. She previOusly opened at the PGA Tour's Sony Open where she nearly made the cut as a 14-year-old when she shot a 68.

Showing no signs of the wrist injuries that plagued her last year, Wie broke 70 for the first time since the Evian Ladies Masters m July 2006, a tournament where she tied for second and earned her largest LPGA Tour check. "You know, l don't really feel ltke I have to prove myself to anyone," she satd "! JUSt was really proud of myself today that 1 dtdn't think about anythtng but JUSt playmg. l JUSt played today" Creamer shot a 6-under 66, birdietng the last three holes for a S-under 3! on the back mne. Annika Sorenstam, trying to complete a Hawaiian sweep after winning at Turtle Bay for her 70th LPG A Tour title, opened with a 70. The wide-open layout at Ko Olina was defenseless for most of the day Wie took advantage of her early morm ng round. "It felt a lot better out there l felt hke l accompltsbed my goal of staying 111 the present," she said. The 18'-year-old Wie looked relaxed and seemed to gain more confidence with each shot, playing on her home island of Oahu m front of a famtliar gallery that ballooned as she moved up the leaderboard. She demonstrated a soltd short game, putting JUSt 23 times, and was still a ltttle shaky off the tees. She used her driver just twtce on her front stde, on the pat 5s. She pulled tl out f1 ve tllnes on the back nine. The crowd cheered every b1rdte and offered encouragmg words at every hole. "! basically knew like half of the gallery members," said Wie, who hasn't been back smce graduating from htgh school last May. "It's nice to play in front of your friends and family." She also was followed by ,her entourage that included her enthustasttc parents, swtng coach Davtd Leadbetter and' two handlers from the W1lltam Morns Agency "Today was obviOusly a conftdence booster." Wie satd "Ltke l satd, my goal ts Just to slowly get back mto 11. Today was a very post!Jve round for me, and I'm just gomg to keep staymg tn the present, not gettmg too far ahead." In Wle Or as Wte put 11, JUSt, "groove along " The Stanford freshman was in the first group off the I Oth tee and made her move after the turn. She birdied four of five holes to take the lead at 4 under. Wie split the fairway with a booming drive on par-5 first, just one of six fairways she htt all day. She then hit a wedge to .2 feet to set up a btrdte. She enthusiaStically shook her f1rst after droppmg a 4-footer for another btrdte on the next hole. Wie made a difficult downhtll putt from !5 feet for b1rd1e on her 13th hole and missed an eagle try from 25 feet from the 'tringe on the tollowmg hole. Wie got into a little trouble in the sand late, finishing bogey-par-birdiebogey. Wtth one foot in the sand and the other on the grass, her shot out of the bunker on the par-4 sixth sailed across the green, 25 yards from the pin. She made a I 0- footer for bogey. On her final hole, she drove left into the bunker and her second shot fell way short of the green, Circled by fans packed five deep. She JUSt mi'ssed a !0foot par putt. On Tuesday, Wie said she has accepted that her injured wrists will never be I 00 percent agam but are as" good as they can be. Both wrists were inJured last year but Wie kept playing, and struggling. She made only three cuts. In nine starts, she wtthdrew twice and only broke par twice in 19 rounds agamst women. Wte has played well at Ko Ohna, m1ssmg a playoff by a shot in the inaugural event in 2006. She remembers that tournament clearly. But 2007 is out of her mind. "!don't really want to ... remember last year," she satd. "I felt like moving forward from today." , She is starting the season agamst the women for the first t1me m ftve years.

In fact, rates are now as low as they've been in 40 years -so what's an investor to do? Actually, you have some pretty good choices.

You also may want to consider investing in high-quality stocks and mutual funds that have consistently increased divide~. Let's take a look at both these techniques: . • 8tn1ding a "bond ladder'' If all your bonds mature at the same time, you could be at a disadvantage if market interest rates are low. Where will you put your money to gain a reasonable income stream? One possibility is, to create a bond ladder. By owning a group of bonds tl,lat mature at different times, you can help protect yourself from the effects of fluctuating interest rates. If rates are low when some of the bonds in your ladder mature, yoo'll still have some higher-yielding "rungs" working for you. And when rates are high, you can obviously reinvest your bond proceeds at a more favorable rate. • Buying stocks and mutual funds tbal consistently inaeaw dividends -Years ago, mocks generally paid out more dividends than they do today.

"These two research groups are finding adverse effects on the aging brain at low levels of lead exposure. More work needs to be done, but these studies are raising important questions." In any case, scientists still face some basic mysteries about the delayed effects of lead. When does it actually harm the brain? -Does a high level in the shinbone merely identify those who. were the most harmed by chronic exposure decades ago? Or does lead in the bone continue to do its dirty work over a lifetime, leaching into the bloodstream and continuously hammering the brain? "I think that both things .are happening," Schwartz said, though he suspects most of the damage occurred in the past, during rears of higher exposure. Hu s suspicions are similar. Just how lead impairs brainpow~r is still a mystery. · And so IS the question of whether anyth.ing can ~e done to help people who ·have absorbed a lot of lead over a lifetime. A medical procedure called chelation can remove lead from the body, but it wouldn't help in this case, said experts, who had few suggestions . For younger people, prevention is a <;learer strategy, Hu said. He called for tougher federal standards on lead exposure in the workplace. And plenty of low-income neighborhoods could use a strong effort to remove lead from old houses, many of which still have lead paint, Rowland said. "It's there on the walls, it's on the radiators, it's underneath the top layers of paint. In places where the paint is crumbling, there's still exposure going on," he said~ Yet another question: Who really has to worry about long-ago lead affectmg their brainpower? What about people born after the high lead levels of the 1970s were history? Schwartz noted that most Americans younger than 30 have gotten much less lead from the environment than the men in his study did . And .Hu hopes that the lead effect will peter out in the future. Hu points out that there's still lead in the environment, and exp<?sure remains espe- . cially high in many developmg countJ:ies. And citmg evidence that lead can cross the placenta, he says women who grew up in the 1970s· might dose their fetuses with the metal. "Kids who grew up · in the 21st century have a lot less to worry abot~t" than their elders, Hu said. But "it's hard for me to be totally ·optimistic the current generation is completely scotfree." •PageS Cattle auctions, tractor pulls standard fare on ru.ral TV network .

"I think that both things .are happening," Schwartz said, though he suspects most of the damage occurred in the past, during rears of higher exposure. Hu s suspicions are similar. Just how lead impairs brainpow~r is still a mystery. · And so IS the question of whether anyth.ing can ~e done to help people who ·have absorbed a lot of lead over a lifetime. A medical procedure called chelation can remove lead from the body, but it wouldn't help in this case, said experts, who had few suggestions . For younger people, prevention is a <;learer strategy, Hu said. He called for tougher federal standards on lead exposure in the workplace. And plenty of low-income neighborhoods could use a strong effort to remove lead from old houses, many of which still have lead paint, Rowland said. "It's there on the walls, it's on the radiators, it's underneath the top layers of paint. In places where the paint is crumbling, there's still exposure going on," he said~ Yet another question: Who really has to worry about long-ago lead affectmg their brainpower? What about people born after the high lead levels of the 1970s were history? Schwartz noted that most Americans younger than 30 have gotten much less lead from the environment than the men in his study did . And .Hu hopes that the lead effect will peter out in the future. Hu points out that there's still lead in the environment, and exp<?sure remains espe- . cially high in many developmg countJ:ies. And citmg evidence that lead can cross the placenta, he says women who grew up in the 1970s· might dose their fetuses with the metal. "Kids who grew up · in the 21st century have a lot less to worry abot~t" than their elders, Hu said. But "it's hard for me to be totally ·optimistic the current generation is completely scotfree." •PageS Cattle auctions, tractor pulls standard fare on ru.ral TV network . NASHVILLE, Tenn. - On this cable TV channel, there are no political pundits, no reality shows, no poker games. There are livestock auctions, polka music and tractor pulls. CNN it's not. Or MTV. Or ESPN. It's RFD-TV, which bills itself as "rural America's most important network." Says country music queen Reba McEntire, who talked about her.years in 4-H Club and as a rodeo competitor during a recent live interview on RFD: "We need a channel like this;" RFD-TV has been on the air since December 2000 and now is on 800 cable systems plus satellite services, distributed to more than 30 million homes. Remember ABC's "Wide World of Sports"? RFD has "Wide World of Hor5es." Like to cook?

Supermarket chains are trying out paperless, or digital, coupons, to help the thriftyminded save time while saving money. Shoppers load the online discounts onto their store loyalty cards, receiving the credit at the checkout. Grocers see the innovation as a way to build customer loyalty, drawing consumers who are increasingly spendin~ time online to their Web sttes and ultimately, their stores. The move could increase coupon use by attracting shoppers who don't bother with paper coupons, and reduce shippmg and other handling costs of paper coupons, as well as cutting paper use. Kroger Co., the nation's largest traditional grocery chain, and Procter & Gamble Co., the largest consumer products company, are partners in a digital coupon tnal that began last month. Other supermarket companies around the country ·have been trying out ways to offer digital discounts in addition. to the traditional clip-outs from newspapers and mailings. Although online coupons for ordering everything from DVDs to laptops on the Internet have been around for several years, couponing, .especially for groceries, is still dominated by paper. Digital use by companies with the combined reach of Cincinnati-based P&G and Kroger could help transform habits. . Some early users like the convenience of paperless coupons. "You don't have to wa8te your time going through all those little pieces of paper in your purse," said Carol Hoffman, a Covington, Ky., woman who's been usipg digital coupons on her Kroger card. "It's really nice, because I always forget to bring m~ coupons along ... and I don t have to organize them," said Therese Sangermano, a Cincinnati mother of three who's been using the paperless coupons to save on P&G p~­ ucts such as Pampers dia~rs and Dawn dishwashing liqutd.

Ohio Public · Perry Varnadoe, econm;nBY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MVDAILVSENTINELCOM v ,,' POMEROY - · Hardware · stores, llrocery stotes and gas stations in Middleport and Pomeroy have . the greatest sales "surpluses," according to a Retail Market Analysis completed by Ohio Siate University. · Books and office sup· plies, recreational ·vehicle dealers, app~l and accessories stores and stores selling electron,ics, mu'sic and videos have the highest sales losses when compared to purchases local residents make outside the immediate · retail community. The good news, according to the analysis, is that the .local retail community is, doing better than raw data would predict, based on income and population of the community. Still, nearly $80 million is spent each year outside the local retail economy when it could be . spent right here at home. · Greg Davis, an Extension specialist in commumty development, presented a· draft of the analysis at a meeting in Pomeroy Thursday. The-Meigs County Economic Development Office commissioned the study, which examines local and regional shopping trends in 32 different retatl sectors. The analysis determines retail sales surpluses . and leakages in those 32 sectors, comparing the actual retail sales in the sector to , the potential sales, which are estimated by comparing the population of the market area and the percapita income of the residents in that area. According to Davis, potential sales are the annual sales that a market area could achieve if all residents purchased products from those sectors locally. A surplus is identified if acto- · al sales are greater than poteqtial sales, and a leakage results if actual sales are less thao the potential sales. The 32 sectors range from clothing, shoe and drug stores to auto dealerships, groceries ·and gift shops. Service industries, such as inns and motels, banks and insurance firms, are not included in the study. Th€ Pomeroy/Middleport market area also includes Mason, W.Va., and its Wal-Mart store, whose sales are included in the analysis. Therefore, the analysis does not identify how much business locallyowned stores lose to the nation's largest retailer.
