Six-way arms talks hosted by China have been on hold since North Korea pulled out last year and ' later declared that it had already built at least one nuclear weapon. None of the countries talking to North Korea has declared the diplomatic process dead, but Rice discu ssed that possibility during visits to Japan, South Korea and China this past week .

Visiting the two countries back to back, Rice faced palpable worries that the United States either ignored their security or territorial concerns or favored the other nation. Meeting Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Rice had the uncomfortable task of embracing an important ally in the battle against terrorism who' has also reneged on a promise sought by ' the United States to give up hi s command of the armed forces. Rice celebrated democratic successes in Afghanistan three years after the fall of the hard-line Tali ban regime .. She rewarded Japan, which has a largely untroubled relationship with Washington. with a clear endorsement of that country's bid for a permanent seat on the Security Council. She was unable , however, to get a commitment from Japanese leaders . to quickly end a costly ban · .on the import of U.S. beef. Rice encountered scauered protesters along her motorcade route in Seoul, including one with a banner that read, "Go Home." The traditionally sound U.S,-){orean relationship has been strained in recent years by resentment over heavy U.S. military presence five decades after, ac.tive hostilities ended in the Korean War. _l <;-' ·f '--....J WE HAUE AWINNER!!

Which is why, in Scales' view, Rum sfeld should upgrade America 's tactical capabilitie s, with more · combat troops and equipment such as new · combat vehicles, aircraft to carry them and unmanned drone · plane s to provide pictures of the combat environment, even in -cities. 'Combat troops also need hetter communications and body armor, a new infantry weapon and munitions that will det onate above hidden enemy fighters and knock down the walls they hide behind. But just as important , Scales says , soldiers need better training, both military and cultural. As demon strated by the recent mistake n shooting of an Itali an journalist at a Baghdad checkpoi nt , he said, "tactical decisions made by sergeants and lieutenant s ca n have as much strategic importance as those made by general s and admirals. .:Every American soldier should receive cultural and language in struction," he said. "Not to make him a lingui st, but to rnak ~ him a diplomat in uniform" who can deal with· civ ilians and gather intelligence.

While campaigning for an upcoming election, the President of the United States usually asks voters the question , "are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Keeping that in mind, consider the following. Just two years ago the village of Porl)eroy saw old, abandoned houses being torn down and cleaned up and sidewalks and street curbs clean from dirt and debris. The police a'nd fire departments were supplied the means to efficiently do their job which is to protect · the people of our town . Unfonunately, today our police officers are l.eaving for positions in neighboring towns which offer better pay. After all, the employees of the village have not been offered a pay raise for two years. It appears to me that the well being of the citizens of Pomeroy is definitely not the main priority of the current city council. I personally had one of the biggest "eye sores" of our town (the old Pomeroy High School} scheduled to be removed by Jeffers Construction in January of 2004 for the amount of $35,000 and pay off a loan in ,the neighborhood of $35,000 that was made years ago for this structure. An additional. $90,000 would and did go to purchase a newer garage, facility, and land for the city street department to relocate into. Before I left office, the council calculated these expenses to be paid for with the $160,000, which I spent three mont-hs fighting with insurance adjusters to acquire from a claim involving fire damage previously done to the .building. In addition, buyers were prepared to purchase the vacant lot for $75,000 in order to begin a new business opportunity for the village. Because they thought they could get more money out of the building and land , the council stalled the removal process. As yoU-can see by driving through our now deteriorating town, the building has not been taken down yet. The stall caused the business interested in the site to go else where which eliminated : employment opportunities and additional tax revenue for the city. Furthermore, the state of Ohio is now requesting that the town spend a lot of money on testing the site. Because of this, the eye sore will most likely remain standing for many years to come ~ The current council members allowed the citizens of Pomeroy to take a back seat to greed. · Four years ago I .fixed the playground equipment and added picnic tables in a park on Mechanic Street. The last day I worked on this park there was a half dozen kids waiting for · me to leave so they could take advantage and play in this park. The council now agreed to take it completely out in order to make it better. The key phrase is, "in order to make it: better". Now nothing but an unusable mud field exits where the park used to stand two years . · ago. The kids in this area lost on this decision. As -far as the sidewalks on East and West Main Street I asked a council member if they were ever going to be .cleaned. She informed me that the "word was" the homeowners of . Pomeroy are responsible for this task. I'm beginning to think that the council believes the citizens1 should do it all; clean sidewalks and street curbs, fix parks; patch pot holes, cut brush along the walking path, check on the lire, police, and street departments, .tear down . condemned houses next to our own homes, etc. This would make one believe that the · council members think they are above the citizens of Pomeroy and their duties entail nothing but sitting in their council seats twice a month talking about what needs to be done, but never doing anything. My questions is, if the citizens should take care of the majority of the problems in the .town what use do we have for a city council? This November, five council seats are up for grabs .. When considering whether to vote : these members back into their positions, one needs to ask themselves, are things better off · today ~han they were four years ago or even two years ago? I say no. Citizens, in order to : make things better for our town and our people, the city council seats need to be filled with · five new faces. Individuals that are willing to work and do what the people of Pomeroy wants . done rather than what the council members feel the people needs done. After all, 1think us citizens deserve a say in the manner of how this village will be run. We are tax payers, most of us own our homes, l'l,e llave families in this area, children in the schools, and don't forget the one percent city tax tl'l'ilt we are required to pay. What are we getting return? No respect. I know the current members of the city council will probably be so f[lad at what I am saying they won't be able to see straight. Then again; the articles I have submitted to the paper in the past has had much of the same effect on them. The way I look at it, I don't owe the council members explanations for my opinion. I have served in one of those seats for a period of four years (2000·2003) and none of the current members couldn't match the things I did accomplish for the citizens and this village.

Today, we will examine another inco rrect statement I haVe heard several tim es from students: "! had to rebid my five-card suit to tell partner it wasn 't a short club." One doesn't . rebid in a . five.card suit · unless one has absolutely nothing else to do. Instead, one tries to show another suit, oi- bid in no-trump, or raise partner - as in loday's deal. Nor1h should rebid two spades, not .two clubs. Then, South will go straight to four spades. II North does rebid two cl ubs, South might jumprebid three no-trump. This co ntract can be made double-dummy ( ~nowing wh ere all 52 cards lie~ , but wou ld probably fail il West leads the heart.three, wh1ch is his likely choice - one normally leads an unbid majOr, not an unbid minor. (North could retre at to four spades, but.that risks finding South with only four sp~des. ) Four spades needs a little care. If declarer win s the first trick with his heart ace, draws trumps, aQd takes the club fi nesse. he should fail. East can return a heart, condemn ing South to lose two hearts, one diamond and one club. Instead, the simplest Hne is to run the club 10 at .trick two. Even if East ducks and declare r repeals the finesse, he is still safe. Probably, lhough, East will lake his club king and sh1ft to a diamond . bu1 Soulli just puts up his king (or queen) and cannot lose more than one trick in each side suit : BIG 'NATE, Barns · Insured Pass ?? . •· • Decks • Porches • Carpons • Garages Estimates 1• Pas s There wi ll be more tom orrow - •~ • Siding • Windows 740-992,6971 I ; All Your Home Improvement Needs David Lewis I YOU~~? ~ ConllrucUoa ,25.Years Experience TO L..ENG.\\-\E.~ ~NY r''t-J()~i;:,tr\Y ~ WO~I 1-\0U>Tl-\\!> ~ TO ~(~\:> \i .1 Closed 1 MA'r'BE 1M SUPPOSED TO MAIL IT IN .. Wedne.day, March 23, .2005 By Bernice B8de Oeot Your greatest successes In the year ahead are like ly to come from situs · tions which offer steady but slow growth . Alluring but risky get-ric'nquick schemes anni't likely to do anything but get you broke.

Keep the trouble makers a\ bay. GEMINI (May 2 1-June 20) - People use all types of methods to best ttiem selves against another. Today an associate may try to push yo\.J around a bit if this person thinks he or she can get away with it. Don't be intimidated. C.ANCEA (June 21-July 22) - Unless yoU' make a list of all th e things you wi sh to a ccomplish today, it isn't likely you'll reac h your goal. Chances are other th ings will get you perm~hen ll y off course. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - II someone tries to Interest you today in a norabrained scheme that requ ires f110ney, list en not and leap not. Hasty decisions are apt to cost you , not that per· ' son.

AEP announced Friday it had filed an application with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio · seeking authority to recover costs associated with building and operating a new clean-coal technology power plant in Lebanon Township.

AEP considered sites in II states. and Walker said yesterday the Meigs County sile was deemed the secondc besl site among those considered. Only a site in Mason County, W.Va. was deemed more desirable by AEP engineers considering possible locations, and AEP's Appalachian Power has filed a similar cost recovery plan with the West ·Virginia Public Services Commission for that site, located adjacent to the Mountaineer , Plant at New Haven, W.Va.
