READER'S • VIEW Dedicated ' Gallia CIC working on jobs Dear Editor: In respo!1se to the leuer from Kathryn White.sed, the Bo;u:d of the Community Improvement CorporatiOn of ·Galha County is also very disappointed the community is losing JoAnn Fabrics. I know this was a popular retailer, because my wife and several of her friends were regular customers. Jo-Ann Fabrics' parent company, Jo-Ann Stores, is a fairly J~e retailer operating 851 stores in 47 states, according to thetr Web site. My understanding is (although not verified by a source with the company), this particular store will close because of inadequate sales and profits. These decisions are made at the corporation's headquarters, and based on management's assessment of this one particular store's performance with the overall performance of the company. While the Community Improvement Corporation would )ike every business in Gallia County to be successful, it is impossible for us to revive and sustain a business. We do not have large amounts of money to loan, but we can assist busi·ness enterprises to obtain loans, sometimes at more favorable (ales. We are. willing to help the management of a business ·whenever we are asked. ,. Also·, we strive to encourage existing local businesses to 'grow and attract new businesses to locate in Gallia County. Our focus is on manufacturing f!Jid service industries who tyP,. ically ·employ more people and at higher wages 'than retatl. T.his is a very competitive and difficult process, as most communities are trying to accomplish the very same thing. We have had some success, as reflected in Gallia County's unemployment rate for October 2005 of 5.4 percent, which is lower -:-: in some instances, considerably lower - than most coon~ · ties in southeastern Ohio. However, most of the credit for this . goes to the actual owners, who face the daily risks and rewards of operating their own business: With that said, we understand there is much work to do. .Please know the CIC is composed of a dedicated group of men and women who want to convince t)le business community, Gallia County is a great place to live and work. : James E. Moms·on · , ; Board president, ·· Gallia County Community Improvement Corporation Lieberman's posllton on Iraq is born out of his vast knowledge of the situation in Israel. The Senator realizes that any show of weakness in the .face of international terrorism will lead to more attacks. If the USA and Britain bail on the new Iraqi government before it can defend the country, the terrorisis will likely have a new playground to replace the o.ne they lost in Afghanistan. And this theme park would be much more dangerous because Iran would control the southern part of Iraq, arming and financing al Qaeda's worldwide operations. · Of course, Howard Dean and his minions, people like Jack Murtha and Nancy Pelosi, are clueless when it comes to terror strategy but no one is shouting them down. In fact, it's important for Americans to hear what the Iraq defeatists have to say because it is so shortsighted. Here's the essential question: Do you think Osama bin Laden is rooting for Joseph Lieberman's point of view, or Hqward Dean's? The Bush administration has made too many mistakes in the Iraq campaign. That i~ quite clear' to any fair-mind~ ed observer. But those mistakes can and must be over• come by determination: negotiation and courage. Howard Dean, Nancy Pelost and Jack Murtha do noiknow how to protect . America against the. terrorist jihad. The far left is actuanx helping terrorists worldwide by failing to acknowledge the danger and having no idea as to how to deal with it.' In addition, their tactics in' this great debate are often anti-democratic and embarrassing. Someone should remind the insane left that the USA isn't Munich ij;} 1928. ' Senator Joseph Lieberman h~s reminded America that politicians can be courageous. He is standing up for what he thinks is besl for his country. We need more . Liebermans and fewer ideo~ logical zealots on both sides · of the political spectrum. Although the radical left ·would shout him down if they could, t~e · rest of l!S should also let our voices be heard. Let's hear it for Lieberman. GOOD THING THE PATRIOTACT .

No, sorry, wrong rype of supermarket-checkout publi·cation. The ones with the holiday craft ideas are the homemaker magazines, which are filled with articles like "50 Fun Holiday Crafts You Can Make With Your Saliva."

For example, I have here a Family Circle article on 25 do-it-yoursd( holiday gifts; in the instructions for making a "Yuletide Shelf," it says that step one is to "gesso an unfinished wooden shelf." Call me a big fat holiday dope if you want, but I have no idea what "gesso" means. It sounds like dialogue in a bad western movie: FIRST COWBOY: Yew fixin' tuh wrangle them heifers?

Jury convicts gunman in deadly university shooting BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER I CLEVELAND The same jury which convicted a fonner graduate student in a deadly campus shooting rampage must return Jan . 17 to decide whether to recom, · mend the death penalty. The· jury convicted Biswanath Halder, 65, on Friday of · all 196 counts, including killing one student, at Case Western Reserve University on May 9, 2003. Judge Peggy Foley Jones cautioned jurors to avoid discussing the case or paying attention to news repons. She ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys to withhold all comment pending the sentencing phase in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Coun. During that phase, the defense will have a chance to detail any circumstances which might help save Halder's life. The prosec utor will get a chance to make its case for the death penalty. Halder, who sat impassively while the verdicts were read over 2 112 hours, broke into the Case business school with more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition. He believed a sehoul computer lab employee hacked into his Web site devoted to helping fellow India natives form businesses. Halder, originally from Calcutta. India. was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder, aggravated burglary and kidnapping. Earlier in the trial, the judge dismissed a terrorism charge.

Keeping Gallia, ; Meigs & Mason informed· · I Sunday Times-Sentiiiel I There is perhaps no finan- · . cia! produCt 1110re confusing today than equity-index . annuities or EIAs. On the sur. face, EJAs are somewhat simple. Like most annuities, E!As are nothing more than a . contract between you and an Insurance ~ornpany in which · the company promises to · make penodic payments ot a · lump-sum paymeni to you, starting immediately or at some future time, according to the NASD. . But EIAs are more complex than traditional fixed annuities or variable annuIties. As with fixed annuities, they provide a guaranteed minimum return, typically 90 percent of the premium paid at a 3 percent annual interest tate. However, EIAs also typically provide a potential upside amount tied to an equity index, similar to vanable annuities. . Herein lies much of the confusion. EIAs give you more risk but more potential return than fixed annuities but less risk and less potential return than variable annu-. jties. How so? According to the Securities and Exchange · Commission (SEC}, EIAs ~ork as follows: During the accumulation period- when · . you make either a lurny-surn · payment or a series o pay: rnents - the insurance corn. pany "credits" you with a return that is based on j:hanges in an equity index, such as . the S&P 500 . Composite · Stock Price · Index, but nQt necessarily : equal to the full total return Gallia • '446-2342 J. Mark Curry . of the index. The variations in insur~ ance company crediting procedures add much to the complexity of EIAs. These deviations from a uniform standard often contain several features. that can · affect your return. And you should fully understand how an EIA computes its index-linked crediting rate before you buy such a product. EIAs typically include one or several of the following three · common features used to compute the return: . • Participation rates. The participation. rate determines how much of the index's increase will be used to compute the index-linked interest rate. For example, if the participation rate is 90 ·percent and the index increases 5Jercent, the return credite to your annuity would be 4.5 percent. • Crediting rate caps. Some EIAs set a maxi.rnum rate that the equity-indexed annuity can be credited in a year. If a contract has upper limit, or cap, of 7 percent and the index linked to the annuity gained 7.2 percent, only 7 percent would be an credited to the annuity. • Margin/spread/administrative fee. The indexlinked rtturn for some EIAs is determined by subtractillg . a percentage from any gain in the index. This fee is sometimes _called the "margin," "spread," or "administrative fee." In the case of an EIA · with a "spread" of 3 percent, if the index gained 9 percent, the return credited to the annuity would be 6 percent (9-3 = 6). Another feature that can affect an EIA's return is its "indexing method," which identifies how the amount of change in the relevant index is detertnined .to calculate the crediting rate. According to the SEC and NASD, common indexing methods, which may apply annually or only at the end of a set number of years, include: • Point-to-point. This · method credits an indexlinked return according to any increase in index value from the beginning to the end of the contract's term. • Monthly averaging. This method determines the amount of return to credit based on the average value of the index over a period of months (typically calculated over 12-rnonth ·periods, on the contract anniversary date). • High water mark. This method credits an index" linked return according to any increase in index value from the index level at the beginning of the contract's term to. the highest index value at variou's points during the contract's term, oflen annual anniversaries of when the EIAwas purchased. EIAs can also be confusing because of other potentially pricey features. If you surrender your EIA early, you may have to pay a significant surrender charge to the insurance company, plus a 10 percent tax penalty on earmngs to the IRS if you are below 59-1/2 years of age. The SEC also says · you can still lose money if your guarantee is based on an amount that's less than the full amount of your purchase payments. Aild, in some cases, the-SEC says insurance companies may not credit you with index-linked interest if you do · not hold your contract to maturity, foregoing all of your credited returns over the years to instead re€eive only · the minimum guarantee. In short, do your homework befare you purchase an EIA. Understand -'how it works, what factors to consider in making your decision, and how you can avoid common problems. It may be possible, less expensive and less complicated to accomplish ·the same investment goal with a combination of a noload equity index mutual funds and zero-coupon bonds.

Sunday, December 18, 2005 AP TELEVISION WRITER LOS ANGELES - For Carol Burnett, once around with "Once Upon a Mattress" was far from enough. . Before Burnett estabhshed herself as one of television's great comedians, she made a sparkling Broadway debut in the 1959 musical. She revisited .it in a 1964 black-andwhite TV >pecial and in, another broadcast version in '1974. But her fondness for the tale, a peppy spoof of the tale of the princess and .the pea. remained undiminished . So Burnett is taking a fourth crack at it. with a twist: she's g(aduated from the role of princess to that of queen, as well as executive producer. The new version atrs 7-9 p.m. EDT Sunday on ABC's "The Wonderful World of . Disney," with Burnett in fine form as the overbearing Queen Aggravain. With overblown motherly devotion. she has contrived to keep her son, Prince Dauntless, from marrying and living happily ever after. "It's been kind of toiling around in my mind for· 10 years now, redoing it, playing the queen, having a part in the production," Burnett said. "I felt a lot of people now watching televi sion have never seen 'Mattress.' There have been two or three new generations." Spanish Panic, a madcap.

AP MOVIE WRITER LOS ANGELES - "King Kong," Peter Jackson's remake about the giant ape in love, took in $9.8 million domestically in its first day, solid for a Wednesday debut but far below the king-size premieres of other action epics. Distri butor Universal called it a good beginning that will generate audience word-of-mouth on top of ste llar reviews for "King Kong." "My little monkey's doing great," said Nikki . Rocco, Universal's head of distribution. "We're convinced with all the information we have that this is the big guy, and he's going to be around for a long time." , The first of Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" films , "The Fellowship of the Ring," opened on · a Wednesday in December 2001 with $18.2 million, nearly double the take of "King Kong." · The second installment, "The Two Towers," debuted on a Wednesday a year later with $26.2 milhon, while the final chapter,' "The Return of the King," opened with $34.5 million the next year, a record for a Wednesday debut until "Spider-Man 2" broke·it six months later with $40.4 million. "The Lord of the Rings~· !licks opened closer to Christmas, when college students generally were off for winter break and free to hit the theaters. . The $9.8 million gross puts "King Kong" at No. 21 on the all-time list of best Wednesday debuts, just behind "Catch Me If You Can" and ahead of · "Armageddon." Most other films ranking abo.ve it were summer blockbusters or franchise films such as "The Matrix Revolutions." Still, expectations have been huge for "King Kong," though analysts say it could follow the long-haul pattern of 'Titanic," which had a comparatively modest $28.6 million opening weekend but stayed atloat to become the biggest-grossing modern film at $600 million domestically and $1.8 billion worldwide. "I think the thought is that this movie would have opened bigger, because it's 'King Kong' and it's Peter Jackson," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "But l think this is a movie that's going to perform well this weekend and be in this for the long term, because it's a really good movie, and that will hold it in good stead and generate great audience reaction," Dergarabedian said. "So this is just the beginning for this film." Besides its domestic gross, "King Kong" debuted with a total of $8 million in 36 other countries Wednesday. According to Universal, "King Kong" had the biggest Wednesday opening ever in Jacks9n's home turf of New Zealand and outgrossed the ftrst days of "The Lord of the Rings" movies in Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Don't get me sta~ed: Praying for voice mail ROBERT W, PAWELEK OSU EXTENSION GALLIA COUNTY As regular readers 'of this column, my relative s and even some people not related to me know, I'm not a big fan of the telephone. Word that is written, typed or even better -· spoken face to face wins out any day for me over the ringing device attached to my desk. It might be related to my dislike of drive-thrus, but I can't really explain it. The voice behind the speaker always Jeminds me of Charlie Brown's teacher. I'm one of those people who prays for voice mail. That way, I can leave my message and get out - no awkward small talk or attempts to get away from people with whom I don't ·have the inclination to chat. Here 's a tip for those of you who like using the phone to .get people like me to call :you back: If I don't know :you, leave .your name, numper and the reason why you called and/or what you need from me. I don't want your life story, but I'm not going on a wild goose chase :either. : I got a call the other day l'rom someone who left her name and number and a message that "I need. to talk to you." Well, duh, I would hope you weren't calling to :waste my time and yours. -However, I don't kQQW you :and I don't know '\why you -would need to talk to me, so a call back is not )ligh on my list of priorities. If it is on yours, you would be better off calling me again. I .get a lot of wrong numbers, -so I don't even know ' that you were calling me specif·ically. since you didn't mention my name or tell me what you needed ..

See Page 81 BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM BY BEnt SERGENT POMEROY-. A recent bill passed by the Ohio House of Representatives is being widely supported by hunting and firearms groups across the state who wish to increase participation of young people irt hunting, though the bill is not without opposition. House Bill296 is known as the Apprentice Hunting License Bill which wi)l allow a new or apprentice hunter to hunt under the guidance and mentoring of a licensed adult prior, to the completion of an Ohio Hunter Education or Trapper 'Education Course. This adult mentor must be 21 years of age or older and possess a valid Ohio hunting license. The mentor must be with 1he apprentice hunter at all times. Apprentice licenses · ,are limited to three purchases. After that the Ohio Hunler Education or Trapper Education Course is required for the apprentice hunter to receive a youth hunting licensy. One thing both supporters and opponents of the bill agree upon is that it is designed to recruit yo.~ng hunters. Buckeye Firearms· Association supports the bill, citing studies that indicate a decline in the participation in hunting and trapping by young people. The Buckeye Firearms Association believe.\ that par~ ents should make 1he decision as to when a young person is mature enough to participate in hunting as oppl1sed to a minimum age restriction ·enforced by state government. The Humane Society of the United States opposes 'the bill because under · an apprentice hunting license, a person who has not completed the required hunter safety course would still be allowed to hunt as lon g as they are accompanied by a licensed adult hunter. · On their website The Humane Society . of · the United States urges Ohiu rcsidents to email their representatives wi th cnncerns abuu\ ap rent ice hunters hunting wit~ · ut first completing safe~ ty cou : ·s.
