DeWine says intelligence failure
shows need to .do more · · ·
Bv MALIA RULON
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON "'7 Ohio
Sen. · Mike DeWine said
Friday he 's not sure whether
Congress would have voted
to approve war in Iraq had
lawmakers known intelligence indicating Iraq had
weapons of mass destruction
was based on second hand
and unreliable information .
A report released Friday by
the
Senate Intelligence
Committee said the CIA kept
key ·information from its own
and other agencies' analysts,
engaged in "group think" by
" failing to challenge the
assumption that Iraq had
weapons of mass destruction
and allowed President Bustt
and Secretary of "State Colin
Powell to make false statements.
"We relied on indirect evidence, w~at turned out to be
unreliable evidence," said
DeWine,
member of the
committee.
DeWine said lawmakers
who were told that Saddam
Hussein had , biological
weapons should have asked
more question s about what
that conclusion "was based on ,
and intelligence analysts
should have been more forthright a1:5out ·what they knew
and didn 't know.
"Instead, they extrapolated,
they made assumptions that
were reasonable , but they
didn't reall y have direct hard
evidence," DeWine said.
As they sc rutinized Iraq
. before the war, intelligence

analysts either ignored or discounted contlicting information because of their assumpc
tions 'that Iraq had weapons
of mass destruction , the
report said . Analysts also •
concluded ' that Iraq had a
mobile biological weapons
. program based mainly on the
si·nce-discredited claims of
one Iraqi defector, it said.
. "I don' t know if we know
how this thing would have
come out if these facts would
have been presented to us and
the president and the
Congress," De Wine said.
"The bottom line was that

the intelligence didn'l fundamentally change from what .
(former Pre sident) Clinton
was getting to what Bush was
gettin g," he' said.
DeWine said the failure
shows the need for more people collecting intelligence,
something the Republican
·senator has spoken for
before.
''We're looking at not just
an analytical failure. it's also
a
collection
problem,"
DeWine said: "When you re
relying on defectors and second hand information, it's
just never good ~nough."

nails but had a heart of gold."
After his sllnt in the
Na.vy, Bill re turned to

investing in service stations , a parking lot and,
eventually,

Bill's dnve-m restaurant
began featuring a certain

after a touring pressure
cooking demonstration by
Colonel Sanders htmself.
In 1962, the Kentucky

opportunities. Bill then
packed his bags and traveled
to Louisville, Ky., where on a
handshake, he left with a
KFC franchise. Bill &lt;1nd the
Colonel developed a close,
personal fnendship that lasted for many years.
One of Bill's most proud
moments
came
when
Colonel Sanders visited
West Virginia and the twosome took a helicopter ride
to Holly R1ver. Th1s adventure was the Colonel's very
first helicopter ride. Upon
arrival at tlieir destinauon ,
·they were greeted by nearly
3,000 hungry 4-H members. Serving was a science
to Bill, and his KFC
employees took care of the
crowd handily within the
hour.
That same day, Bill presented the Colonel with a
beautiful velvet pillow and
throw made by Appalachian
artisans. After that, th11
Colonel always traveled with
these items on his fhghts

tern grew, Bill played an
integral part in establishmg

· One ot the greatest expenses
for beef and sheep producers
Is Winter feed costs. Brood
unimal ptofitability is dependent on low feed costs One
way to lower these costs is to
tleld stockpile torages for fall
and wmter graztng.
- Tall fescue is the most desirable grass to stockpile for late
fall and w1nter grazing
Dunng the tall , thts grass pro\14ces h1gher yields of stockpiled forage of&lt;supenor quality compared to most other
temperate grasses. The fall~aved forage is very palatable
and htgh in digestibi lity (high
in soluble sugars). Forage
quahty losses from leaf deterioration after frost are lower for
'tall fescue compared to most
other forages. Tall fescue wtll
stay green and may even grow
a httle during warm winter
days. Tall fescue forms a
strong sod that is tolerant. of
trampling damage, which 1s
common on wet pasture soils
during the winter. Winter grazing has. minimal influence on
~ield or quality of this grass
the followmg season. Tall fes~ue has a bad reputation
.among many pr~ducers
_because animals do not graze
it readily dunng the summer
·months. Some of this reduced
summer palatability is associl'lted with the presence of a
fungus in the plant (endophyte) The fungal endophyte
produces alkaloids that are
tox1c to ammals and cat~se various animal health prdblems.
Many existing fescue stands
are endophyte-infected, but
the level of mfectmn varies
',;onsiderably Ammal health
problems associated with
endophyte-infected stands
'occur pnmanly in the summer
when ammals are under heat
'stress. Adverse health effects
are less common 9n mfected
fescue pastures in the fall and
~wmter. The toxin produced by
,the fungal endophyte is less
concentrated in leaf tissue
than il1' the seedheads and
~tems. so the amount of toxin
consumed in the fall is less
_than in the spring and early
'summer. The cooler tempera~ures in the fall and winter
,r:educe the heat stress problems assocmted wtth endotJlhyte-infected fescue.
, Two components to COJlsider when planning to stockpile
tall fescue are the destred level
of forage quality and yield.
'Each producer should consider feed requirements and
determine whether there is a
lleed for htgh quahty forage

A

subcomnuttee that deals with
tobacco farming and helped
draft the $Y.6 btlhon fa rmer
buyout that was &lt;tpproved by
the Hot1se last month as part
of broad corporate tax bill
The proposal would pay
farmers to exit the federal
system that sets price and
production controls on U.S
leaf. Farmers would have to
gt~e up thetr tobacco allotments. which limit how much
they can sell each year.
Rep. Bob Ethendge. DN.C. also pushed to get the
buyout included in the tax
btl!. He would get about
$30.900 under the buyout.
accordtng to the data
"I grew up on a farm ,

smd. "It's sort of like a part of
our hentage." He added that
he saw no reason why he
should have dtvested himself
of hi s tobacco interest.

A ''Lifeline' for Ohio.'s seniors Gypsies,·hobo.es among vivitors
·Older adults in Ohio can
call upon a non-profit organization known as "Pro
Seniors, fnc." to g~ a~i\wers
to their legal ahd lollg-tettn
care questions.
Pro Seniors offers Ohio
residents age 60 and older the
-advice and information from
attorneys who are well versed
irt elder law issues.
Many calls from seniors
revolve around health-related
problems. Typical, questions
will
concern Medicare,
Medicaid and Medicaid
E,stat'e Recovery, Social
Security, living wills, and·
durable powers of attorney.
Seniors can call the Hotline
Monday t'hrough Friday, 8:30
a.rn.-4:30 p.m. , to schedule
an appointment to speak with
an ·attorney . over the telephone regarding their legal
tssue.
The Hotline 's · "'lttorneys
are trained to spot issues and offer solution - that are
not familiar to · many of
Ohio's seniors.
,
The staff attorneys will
often be able to resolve the
senior 's issues by providing
them with relevant information. If not, the attorney will
most likely be able to refer
the senior to an alternative
source of assistance. Hotline
attorneys are regularly

subjects, and can sometimes
offer solutions to problems
that are presented as- a consumer issue by ide.ntifying a
connection ·to another issue

There were several kinds
of gypsies _in Gallia County

"gypsy" relates to a group of
people known as Roma,
who left India and settled in
Romania. This ethnic group
then spread over Europe and
eventually to the U.S. There
are reportedly 200,000 of
the "official gypsies" living
in the U.S. today.
' However, many of the
gypsies that came to Gallia

Will Ferrell stars as anchorman Ron Burgundy in DreamWorks Pictures ' comedy "Anchorman :
The Legend of Ron Burgundy. " (AP Photo/Frank Masi)

What's in your salad bar
could kill you .. , but first, this
film review.
That's not so far off from
the wor:il television news
writing, just like the star of
"Anchorman: The Legend of
Ron Burgundy" isn't so dif-.
feren: from some of the
dweebiest, most self-serious
guys who come into your living rooms every night at 5, 6
and 11.
Observant comedy with a
sharp (yet affectionate) eye
for detail is just part of·what
makes this movie work. The
top story · is Will Ferrell,
flinging his entire body with
typical reckless abandon into
the role of Ron B1,1rgundy,
while at the same time infus.. ing the character with a subtle sense of loneliness.
Yes, this parody of TV
news sometimes feels like an
extended "Saturday Night
Live" skit. Ferrell, an alum of
the show, wrote the script
with former "SNL" head
writer Adam McKay, who
also makes his debut directing a feature film. And really,
Chevy Chase was Ron
Burgundy long before Ron
Burgundy was, as the anchor
of "Weekend Update."
As you'd expect from a
mQvie like this, t11e jokes can
be hit and missoften stupid,
aren't egregious. But there's
just a goofy, fearless energy
about "Anchorman" that
sucks you in and carries you
along, similar to Ferrell's last .
two comedies, "Old School"
and "Elf.''

had the idea of an all-concrete house almost a century
ago. Though he worked on it
for years and spent a loi of
money, ihe idea never caught
on.
Today's conerete buildings
have skeletons of steel, but
Moeller said that could
become o(lsolete with . the
development of a recently
invented
self-reinforcing
concrete; though that may be
many years otl'.
The Lafarge GI'Qup, a French
finn that says it is the world's
largest producer of concrete,
sponsored the exhibit and is
showing off a recent variety
called "Ductal" that does not
need steel reinforcement. The.
exhibit shows how a light' rail
tenninal has been built • in
Calgary, Alberta, almost entirely of Ductal, with concrete
arches spanning 20 feet and the
concrete only a quarter-inch
thick.
A smooth-textured, tubular
sample is shown in the exhib·
it. Know[\ to the museum
staff as "the pretzel," it looks
like a long and hopelessly
tangled garden hose.
Moeller said old-fashioned
concrete has ro give at all,
but synthetic fibers added to
the mix give some flexibility
without losing strength.
Lancelot Coor, an artisL architect and engineer in Washingron,
is working on tbe.use of fabric as
reinforcement since it's more
flexible than steel. The sample in
the exhibit shows how it could
give designers more freedom in
using curved fonns in collCrete.
"Liquid Stone" will be on
view though Jan. 23.
Admission is free .

POMEROY - . For those who· may be interesting in trying for . a position on the Meigs Soil and . Water
Conservation District (SWCD) Board of Supervisors, the
way to get on the ballot just got easier.
There are now two methods of doing that. Residents can
either be nominated by the SWCD nominating committee,
as has been the 9ase in the past, or they can stop by the
office at 33 I0 I Hiland Road and pick up a petition and file
it themselves.
•
· According to Opal Dyer, SWCD program administrator,
recent changes to the rules governing special elections to
select supervisors are now in.effect.
.
(
She satd that any resident 18 years of age o older who
resides or owns land i~~o the county can seek election to the
SWCD board of · supervisors, and can get their names
·
·.
placed on the ballot using either method.
Dyer said that potential candidates need to get 10 signa·
tures on the petition from residents and/or landowners ·in
the county and &gt;ubmit the petition to the disrtrict by the '
close of business on Aug. 23. Candidates meeting the eligibility requirements and deadline viti! be listed on the ballot ·
for the special election which will take place on Sept. 28 at ·

Pomeroy village employees began work Friday on unclogging a sewer line on Court Street
wh'ich for many months has caused water and sewage to back up into the basements of two
buildings on the street. The re peated earlier efforts of street department workers to flush
out the drain were futile. lt ·wasn't until a firm was brought in to insert a camera into the
sewer tines that the clogged area was located. (J Miles Layton)
