After five years of collections deficits due to the loss of retail business and other economic trends, the county's retail economy appears to be on the mend, if the ta)( collection is any indicator. County Meigs Commissioners see the increase as just that - a sign that people are spending more money in local businesses . The most recent payment to the county representing proceeds from its one-percent sales tax was $97,525 , representing sales ta" collected in October. That is down from last October's payment of $112,656, but the county's collections are still $38,757 more than they were' a year ago to date. "We're obviously very pleased that the collections still up," said are Commissiorfer Mick Davenport, "not only because of the positive economic implications, but because the sales tax is such. an imponant source of revenue for local government." . Last year, the county took in $1 , 137 ,807 from the ta". The cou'iuy's general fund budget was $3.6 million in total revenue, including sales tax proceeds, real estate tax income, and local government revenue paid to counties by the state. "The sales tax now represents about a third of the county 's annual budget in terms of its general fund, so it's obvious how imponant it is to encourage people to spend their motfey here in the community." · At its lowest point, the sales tax generated $1,088,139 in annual revenue for the county.

POMEROY - Meigs County Commissioners will request anticipated revenue from the County Auditor for a proposed renewal and increase in a levy to benefit ·programs at the Meigs County Council on Aging. At Thursday's regular meeting, commissioners considered a resolution authorizing the placement of a one-mill renewal and one-tenth mill additional levy for the council, which operates the Meigs Multipurpose Senior Center and provides in-home services, home-delivered meals and other programs for the county's older population . The levy as proposed by the council's board of trustees would appear on the March 6 primary election. The levy as proposed would be a five' year levy, with collection to begin in January, 2009. · Commissioners will consider the resolution at next week's meeting after receiving a cenificate of anticipated revenue from the levy from the county auditor. The deadline for filing tax issues for the March primary is Dec. 20 . Pluse see Levy. AS J. year, retail sales were strongest in June. Commissioners said there are several factors that might contribute to the upward trend, such as the success of Mark Porter's auto dealership, visits by tourists to the Wild Horse Cafe, and the high price of gasoline , which might keep shopping money at home. "We just hope that, whatever the explanation might be, it continues and the revenue keeps going up," Davenport said.

Thought for Today: "There are no warlike peoples -just warlike leaders." - Ralph Bunche, Nobel Peace laureate (1904-1971). TODAY IN HISTORY Byrclell J. Forth Sr. American Christians are wbrshipping in pews that have , to one degree or another. been touched by what is happening in all four camps. At the &arne time, each of the quadrants includes churches - perhaps 40 percent of this picture - that are determined to defend their unique traditions no matter what. The truly "emerging churches" are the ones that are opening their doors at the heart of this changing matrix . she said. Their leaders are determined not to be sucked into what they call "inherited church" life and the institutional ties that bind . They are willing to shed dogma and rethink doctrine in an attempt to tell the Christian story in a new way. "These emergent folks are enthusiastically steering toward the middle and embracing the whole post' denominational world," said Tickle. "We could end up with something like a . new form of PanProtestantism. .. . It's all kind of exciting and scary at the same time, but we can take some comfort in knowing that Christianity has been through this before."

Lynch; Office of Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell. Kent Carson, communications director with AMPOhio, said the letter was not unexpected and called it part of the legal process in other states. Carson also reiteraied that AMP is not ignoring carbon and he pointed to the company's commitment to the use of. Powerspan technology to reduce those emissions. Powerspan recently received its US patent and uses an ammonia-based solution and a post-combustion, regenerative process to change carbon dioxide captured from flue gas into a form that can be safely transported and permanently geologically stored. However, Powerspan technology does not appear in the draft permit. Carson also reiterated the permit did not require the use of Powerspan be listed on the permit. Carson previously thou,gh said even · Powers pan wasn't listed in the permit in temts of a pro- · posed technology for emission controls, the OEPA doesn 't dictate which technologies the · plant will. use to meet the agency's limits on pollutants. The Ohio Environmental Council and the Natural Resources Defense Council firmly disagree with this, stating the OEPA is required to examine the best available control technologies under the law. The OEC, NRDC and the Attorneys General listed on the letterhead all support lntegr~ted Gasification Combined Cycle as an alternative to "traditional coal burning technology." The Jetter goes on to say: 'The· proposed plant is projected to emit roughly eight million tons of carbon dioxide per year, thereby seriously undermining the concentrated efforts being undertaken by multiple states to address global warming." As for IGCC. AMP has said it did in-depth research on this process but "wasn't the right fit." One of the reasons for this imperfect fit is was the concern that IGCC plants need to operate at a constant level at all times, including times during offpeak seasons such as spring and fall .. AMP has said it needs to be able to ramp up and ramp down production at the plant depending on the load. The Jetter goes on to address one of the main .- from PageA1 The resolution requires commissioners to request the informatiol) from . the county auditor before approving the ·levy's place- . ment on the ballot. although the Council on Aging has estimated the levy will generate approximately $295,000 per year.

See how all the starry hosts were forced to give way to the one whose light outshone with brilliance and glory all their efforts? See how the light of this special star was seen and discerned so that these eastern spirittial seekers could be brought to the Truth (see John 14:6)? Of all the stars that they could have followed , of all the signs that these wise men might have heeded, only one was worthy of the great trek that they took upon themselves. Only one was sufficient for the sacrifices of leaving family, friends, and important duties. Only one could lead them the right way. But stars fill the skies of our lives today also. Twinkling all around us are lights that beckon us to follow. It seems that the whole landscape of our . vision is exploding with :flickering invitations promising to lead us to health, wealth and happiness but lead to nothing in the end but disappointment , disillusionment and spiritual death. But, just as in the day of the Magi, there is one Light that can actually lead us the right Way and bring us to the Truth. ' Only One is worthy of our devotion as it insists that we each ru·isc from our life of personal pursuits ~md pursue the will of our Creator. When I gaze into the night skies, I am humbled to think that in all of this wide and wonderful universe, there is one hurtling sphere especially dear to the Lord's heart, so dear in fact that He Himself descended to it and dwelt thereon . And upon that hurtling sphere lives and breathes humanity, lost and adrift in the swirling cosmos. reaching for stars but reaping sJust. But how the heart of God yearns for a harvest of hope in our lives! He still beckons us to come to Him . to search for Him, and to leave all to follow Him (see Luke 9:23). He still says to us that , while there are countless stars in our li ves to which we · could give our lives, only One is worthy of the great trek that we must take upon ourselves . Onlv One cah lead us the right Way. Only One can bring us to the Truth. "When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him . Then they opened thei r treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense' and of myrrh" (Matthew 2: 10-11 NJV) . And if we too will follow the Light which leads us to God's Truth, then we too may enter joyfully into His presence, worship Him, ani! offer Him such gi tis as we have.

During the present!\tion program, Barbara Green representing the Grange commented, "Our purpose is 10 provide third grade students in the community with their own personal dictionary. The dictionary is for the children to keep. so they can take it with them into the fourth grade and use it throughout their school career." ··we expanded our project to Ohio because of the help the "Hot Spot" convenience store (near Portland) gave us during our JOaster Egg campaign. They sold our eggs and helped the Grange raise a good deal of money. We appreciate their effort and they directed us to Southern Elementary," said Green. A few weeks ago Green approached school administrators Shawn Bush and Wolfe about implementing the project at Southern. In response to receiving the dictionaries, Bush said how much .the school appreciates the gifts of the Grange. "It's good for the kids to see that others outside of school are interested in what they do, and are willing to help them with their education."

The Grange itself was established in 1867 as a way for farmers to unite and promote their products and to. improve the economic and social position of rural citizens. Today, local Granges focus a great deal of their resources on community service. As part of the presentation of the dictionaries, Green had !be students in each class look up the word "Grange", and then look up words of their own choosing. When presented their own personal dictionary, one Southern student said "Wow, enthusiastically, these are ours to keep! I'm taking this home to help me with my homework." 'That's what is satisfying ," said GC<tnge representative Shirley Ables . "To see the kids get excited about something they can use for their education." The Silverton Grange has education high on its list, said Green, noting that the organization's main fundraiser is making Easter eggs each year and selling them at area businesses.like Meigs County's Hot Spot. ln addition to the Dictionary Project. the local grange gave Southern Local over 60 new children's tol;loggans in various colors an11 sizes.

Only days removed from burying a teammate, and without the' benefit of a full practice, the Washington Red skins· managed to win thanks to a backup quarterback who last completed a pass in 2004.

"It seems like it's been forever since we won a game," Washington coach Joe Gibbs said. "This team's I overcome so much. ... It's been an emotional roller coaster for us." In a rough-and-tumble game befitting two teams that entered· on the very fringe of the playoff chase in the so-so NFC, both starting quarterbacks left in the first half. Campbell departed in the second quarter with a dislocated left kneecap a few plays after hurting his throwing elbow, and Rex Grossman never. returned from a left knee injury on Chicago's second possession. Grossman's replacement, Brian Griese, threw interceptions on consecutive passes in the second quarter, both picked off by Shawn Springs.'

Who knows, maybe Dan Marino could still help the team with which he earned his Hall of Fame credentials. The Dolphins are. after all, 0-12 and could be headed for the first 0- 16 season in NFL history. Marino acknowledges the Miami mess is worse than anything he ever imagined his former team could go thro~gh . He offe'rs this advice to anyone who cares the Dolphin s: about patience. "You have to be patient when it gets like this," Marino said. "You always need hope. You 're lighting for something positive to come out of a really bad year. What you look for is a sign of hope that the future will get better. "Hey," he adds with a shrug. "the only way they can go is up." If you consider the Dolphins haven't won, that's true. But considering how poorly the team has drafted and how so many free agents have not clicked in Miami since, well , since Marino retired after the 1999 season, it's possible the franchise could founder for _quite a while. That doesn't mean Marino expects the die-hards to abandon the Dolphins even if they do surpass the 1976 Buccaneers, an expansion club that lost all 14 games -. and the first 12 of 1977, to boot. .· "If you're a loyal fan, you're a loyal fan." said the great passer who has seen Brett Favre and Peyton Manning recently surpass some of his most impressive records. "I know a lot of them are frustrated and they wonder if Cam (Cameron) goes 0-16, ·is this going to happen again next year. But I'd never say they will give up on the team. "They have always had a loyal fan base of SO,OOO or so, but it's not like Pittsburgh or Buffalo or Cincinnati, where there are people who have been fans for life and they grew up there with their teams . Miami is such an international city and there is not that same dynamic. Heck, you can have people who have lived in Miami for a long time and are New York Jets fans." After being blown out last Sunday by the Jets, now '\-9, the realization seemed to hit just about eYerywhere in the NFL that these Dolphins just might be the most futile team the league has see n, There's almost as much talk about whether Miami will go 0-for-2007 as there is about the Patriots being perfeet. And the odds ap,pear just as good for the Dolphins to complete their flop as for the Pats to go unbeaten. Of course, Cameron is playing . ungsters everywhere, trying to gauge what they might offer in the future - if the coach indeed has a future with the team. "Cam is in a tough spot, a first-year head coach in the league with no wins," Marino noted. "He has to play some guys and find out if they" ll be able to be significant contributors. "You've got to change the whole mentality of the organization there, but I don ' I know if it's fair to judge (Cameron) after one year. Over the years, the Dolphins have not been in a position where their draft picks gel on the team. They've drafted almost no players still on the team. Players who should be a part of the heart of the team from the draft, wtio should be in their fifth or sixlh or seventh .years in the league, they aren't there. That's the first thing you have to look at." Marino also. believes it's harder to get free agents to look at Miami when they can go elsewhere and have a chance to win more quickly. In 2004, Marino joined the front office tor three weeks as senior vice president of football operations. But he quit after three weeks, saying he wasn't ready for a "lifestyle change." The Dolphins have ':lion 19 games since- none this year. "It.didn't feel right at the. time for me to take that step in my life," he said. "I had young kids, important family obligations. It had nothing to do with the organization, it was more personal . "You always think you want to do that, be back with a· learn and in the competi live field and working toward a common goal just like when you are playing. It's special when you ex perience that as a player and it never leaves you. So you think about getting back in it." Instead, Marino co- hosts HBO' s "In side the NFL," and appears on CBS' pregame show. too. He rarely pulls punches on the HBO program, but it's clear the truth hurts a bit when he looks at the Dolphins. "Still , with all that 's going on." he said. "you've got to give the fans some hope. But if they go 0·16, well, that 's a difficult situation no one has been in before." -r , , Guillen and Gibbons suspended; nothing for Matthews, Ankiel, Glaus and Schoeneweis BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons were ~uspended Thursday for the first IS days of next season for violating baseball 's drug policy, an indication how the sport might treat any players named in the Mitchell steroids investigation. . Guillen and Gibbons were accused in media reports of receiving human growth hormone after January 2005, when it was banned by baseball G~ Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus and Scott • Schoeneweis also were linked to HGH, but baseball decided there wa~ "insufficient evidence" to determine they committed a doping violation. They were accused of receiving performanceenhancing drugs before 2005. Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell was hired by baseball commissioner Bud Selig in March 2006 to investigate drugs in baseball, and his report is to be released by the end of the month. Guillen instructed the players' association to file a grievance, which would be decided by an arbitrator. Gibbons will noi challenge his penalty. Earlier in the day, Guillen imd Kansas City finalized .their $36 million. three-year contract. GibbOns accepted respon- sibility and apologized. The IS-day penalties match what a second offense would have drawn under 2003-04 rules. Current rules call for a 50-game suspension for a first offense, a I 00game . penalty for a second and a lifetime ban for a third. Cleveland pitcher Paul Byrd was linked. by the San . Francisco Chronicle to purchases of HGH between August 2002 and January 200S.
