CHARLENE HOEFLICH POMEROY When Anthony Subuota o f Plum Street ·complained to Pomeroy Village Council last week about a dilapi(lated garage in an alley ·adjacent to his .home. Mayor John Musser could offer little help. "UnfortUnately, we have anumber of buildings that · need to be removed in Pomeroy. but we lack the funds to do that," Musser said. · But perhaps not for long. Musser has received per· mission from village counci I to pursue up to $300,000 in grant funds to remove dilapidated ·structures. Pomeroy will have to hold . three public meetings to qualify for the grant. The fm;t will be held in October. "The more input we have from the public, the more poims we score and the better chance we have at the !JIOney," Musser said. If the grant money were in place, it would be a huge relief to residents like Subuota who live near the dilapidated struc tures. He showed a picture to counci I members of the garage. "I wish you'd do me a favor and tear it down," he said. " It's just a skeleton, and it's a nuisance." Musse.: said the . grant application will take time . and is not the immediate so lution that everyone would like, but is a solution nonetheless. "It could be a two-year project, but it's the only way I see to get the grant money to demolish some of these properties," he said . On a related note, the village has sent its first certified letter involving the new ordinance against · high weeds and grass. The homeowner responded, although the weeds have yet to be cut at the property in question. In other city business last week, councll heard another complaint about city work· ers resting when they're supposed to be working. Kenny Klein, of Young's Carpentry Service. said he observed three vi II age employees four separate times during ·a 90-minute span, and saw very lillie work being done. · Kl ein sa id . the on ly attempt he 1saw ·at work was by a young man who was trying to cut growth along the riverbank with - the wrung tool for the job. · "What you ought to do is , cut the village workforce in half. and take that money and hire someone to get the grass cut." Klein said. Klein said the village invested a lot of money into its wa:Jking trail, and is let· ting the grass grow alongside it. By Friday, however. the grass along the trail was being cut by a five-man crew. Musser said the village had cut back on mainte· nance of the grass along the Pleue-Rue,AS POMEROY - TI1e usual silence of the Rock Spring' Fairgrounds has been broken and the sounds of country music, roaring engines and bleating animals wi ll soon till the air for a week as ihe I 41 st Meigs Courity Fair plays host to thousands of visitors. · Mixed in with these famil- iar sounds will pe the dazzling lights of the midway rides and the wafting aroma of cotton candy and other fair-foods·.

But J\MD blurs the sharp, central vtsion needed for "straightahead" activities, like reading; sewing and driving. There are two forms of AMD: wei and dry. Wet AMD is the more serious form. It's caused by new blood vessels that grow at the. back ·o f the eye and then bleed. Usually the tirst symptom is when straight lines begin to look wavy. If you have dry AMD, the most · common symptom is a slight blurnng. You might also have trouble recognizing faces, and you may need brighter hght to read or perform other· tasks. The good news is, recent clinical trials show that a .combination of high-dose vitamins and minerals can slow AMD and vision loss. Many advances in technology are also providing effective solutions to AMD and. other age- Meigs County calendar related vision problems.

How about . that Republican propaganda about how many jobs have been created - how many jobs were lost to begin with? The . national unemployment rate has increased steadily since 2000. In 2000, 64.4% of the population was employed. Presently, 62.3% of the population hold a job. The Republican party is indeed for the working man, if he i:s a man who earns a yearly salary in excess of $100,000. Any tax cuts that were give~ to the middle class were offset by the 1\ighest gas prices in this country's history. And as for welfare dependency, the "No Child 4ft Behind" initiative will most likely increase the number of high school dropouts, setting them up for failure. I am sure that !he majority of !hem will become self-supporting citizens who are not ~ependent on welfare. · : D~mocrats do not want to give to people who do not want to work, they want to focus on making these people employ. able. Most people who are totally dependent on !he welfare system have been failed by our government in one way or another. There are not any jobs to be had by them, or they do bot have an education that allows them to earn an income sufij£ient to support themselves. • I will most definitely think about my children and !heir future this November. 1 hope that others will do the same.

Tracy Walburn Atricia Lane Raze·· Fannie Frances Haner Timothy "Junior' McOellancl · Dear Editor: $5Junlla!' [;unrs -$5Jenltnrl • Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis ' Obituaries Embryonic stem-cell reseatrh is a sluun Dear Editor: John Kerry and Ron Reagan have garnered cheers and head~ lines recently for criticizing the Bush administration for its limits on federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research. Those cheers and headlines, howeyer, have been built on misinformation. The tr,llth is. not one human being has been treated with embryonic stem cells- not for lack of funding, bui.because such cells have been known to create malignant tumors in lab animals. ' But there is a kind of stem-cell research that could prove revolutionary - a kind John Kerry and Ron Reagan and the media haven't even bothered to tell us about. It involves socalled "adult" stem cells- those harvested from such sources as umbilical cord blood.and bone marrow. They have shown great promise in the treatment of more than 70 diseases and · conditions. Being unwilling to use taxpayers' money to kill human embryos in the name of questionable science does not make conservatives anti-stem-cell research. It makes us committed to the type of stem-cell research most ·likely to yieHI the results millions hope for. Doug Cox Gallipolis Sunday, August ts, 2004 · Also.

Brandeberry said. Brandeberry added that he expects several more arrests and charges to be filed as evidence was reviewed and as they continue to follow up on addi · tiona! leads. Friday's raid wa~ a good case for the department, Brandeberry said, striking a blow to a group that brings significant quantities of crack cocaine into the community. "We have been investigat· ing a group of individuals •Who have been transporting crack cocaine into our community and selling it out of motels in our area for several weeks," Brandeberry said. "In preparation for this case, we actually had two officers attend a class in Hotel and Motel Drug Interdiction . ''There has been a trend in drug dealers using motel s because they believe it makes it harde r for us to tihd them." he added . "We are now utilizing some tactics and techni4ues that remove that advantage. "Search warrant s are one ·of the mosl aggressive and dangerous things we can do in law en,forcement.'' Brandeberry .said. "There were a number of things that escal~ted the danger factor in this case. We were relieved that no one was injured. " Brandeberry also thanked the Mason County, W.Va., Sheriff's Department and the staff at the Super 8 motel. "ll has really been mutual· ly benefici al, and, in thi s case, the Masor County Sheriff's Depanment developed some valuable information for us," Brandeberry said. "The Super 8 staff was also great, they have no desire to see this activity take place at their business and were really COO!fra!ive." PROUD TO BE APART OF YOUR LIFE. Tax from PageA1 Perry Varnadoe said in June the increase in tax revenue is likely the sign of an improving national economy, · but also a sign of an increase in visitors to the county and a new awareness of the importance of shopping with local vendors, particularly in light of the. November closing of the Pomeroy Kroger store. The loss in sales tax collections, al~ng with a freeze in state anil local government revenue and the collection of personal property tax from the Southern Ohio Coal · Company's .Meigs · Mines, which closed in 2000, forced . commissioners to impose two across-the-board cuts in annual appropriations to county offices. . County Commissioner Jeff Thornton said earlier this year that the commissioners might consider increasing the annual appropriations to some county offices if the collection of sale.s taX continues to show an increase for the remainder of the year.

A.THENS . 2 0 0 4 U.S. women-'s soccer.team blanks Brazil THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) - Run ragged and thoroughly outplayed for most of the game. the U.S. women's soccer team escaped with a victory that set off a few warning bells' in its quest for the gold. · A ,fortuitous foul set up Mia Hamm's .penalty kick in the 58th minute, and Abby Wan1bach scored· on a thrilling run in the 77th Saturday to give the United States a 2-0 victory over Brazil on a day when most of the speed, energy and creativity belonged to the Brazilians. The victory secures a U.S. berth i~ the quarterfinalli, although that's hardly an achievement given that 10 in the Olympic tournament will advance. The Americans can clinch their group - and the high seeding that goes along with it - witp a win or a tie against Australia in their final firstround matcll Tuesilay. · However, Wambach- who has scored an incredible 16 goals in 17 games- won't be allowed to play against the Aussies. Wambach received a yellow card for a foul on Elaine in the 49th minute, giving the U.S. forward two yellow cards in the first round and triggering an automatic one-game suspension. Brazil, meanwpile, was left to rue eigh~of the the fact that it couldn't finish its numerous scoring chances throughout the first two-thirds.of the game. Dynamic stars Marta and Rosana left the Americans flat-footed, stealing the ball from defenders seemingly at will and moving effonlessly toward the net. But the goals never materialized. Formiga 'hit the crossbar with a 25- ' yard volley. Cristiane's sliding attempt from point-blank range nailed the right post. Matta launched a free kick that forced a jtJggling ~ave by busy goalkeeper Briana Scurry. And that was just the first half. The Americans, weary from chas- ing the ball in the 94-degree heat, finally got the break they needed when Wambach, chas) ng a pass from Julie Foudy, was tripped by Monica in ihe corner of the penalty area, some 20 yards from the goaL Czech referee Dagmar Damkova awarded the penalty, .which Hamm stroked into the ix)ttom right corner of the_ net for her 153rd career' goal. the The goal energized Americans, who played on par with the Brazilians for the rest of the match.

W.Va. - Rick' Larsen P.ulled back the accelerator on the .Miss 'M' Rocks, and traded waves or greeting with the occupant of a riverkide camp as the jet boat settled down 9ft its cruising . plane . on the New River above Hawks Nest State Park. ! " It's going to be a great day today:· r~ yelled at the camper, who nodded Jn agreement. · In the Miss ' M' Rocks' wake, th'e New River Gorge Bridge faded out of itiliw as the IS-passenger excursion bO:llt coasted around a bend recently, }'lhile ,ahead, a line of tlutfy white ~loud s drifted over the lush summer greenery draping the canyon walls. : . " I like this job better than most I've !Utd," said Larsen. as he steered the bpat under a railroad bridge and into its. mooring at a new dock at the base l>f: the Hawks Nest tramway. There, his English-born wife, Sue, was PJ"eparing to $ive a safety briefing to a· ·newly arnved tour group from 'foledo, Ohio . : '.'She's been· here for years, but she still can't say y'all,'" Larsen said in inock disgust. "She's not even close. It shouldn't be that hard for someone . from southern England." The former Tennessee whitewater guide has been the skipper at New ~iver Jetboats since it began operatmg trom Hawks Nest' 10 years ago. Six -mile. round-trip . rides are offered daily except Mondays on a first -come, first-served basis until September, when a weekends-only schedule goes into effect. Daily service resumes in October, when foliage is usually at its peak. The rides go from Hawks Nest Dam to the base of the New Ri ver Gorge· Bridge and the tailwaters of Old Nasty. the New River 's final rapid, . before the ~Iteam enters the pool formed by Hawks Nest Dam. New River Jetboats and tne Miss M' Rocks initiall y operated on a stretch of river in Summers Co unty between sce nic Sandstone Falls and the Interstate 64 bridge ove r the New River at the commun ity of Sandstone. '"It was a . beautiful place, but · we were unable to have a permanent office there. and·our launch area •was a little hard to find," said Cindy Dragan of Thurmond, ow ner . and founder of New River Jetboats. · At Hawks Nest, the state park staff handles ticket sales, and thejet boat operation has a · riverside office, a dock and a steady supply of drop- in tourists. .. , think we're good for th\l park, too," said Drugan. "We give them another attraction and another reason for people to visit.'" The 35-40 mi nute rides "give people with rime limitations or physkal limitations a way to experience the New River and see the bridge from its best vantage point the river," Dragan said. The New River Gorge Bridge 's image on the West Virginia version of the quarter has enhanced its role as a touri st attraction, ' accordi ng to Dragan , who also works with the C hambe r of Fayette Cou nty Commerce.

Oliver and Company F of the 7th Ohio Division • BY JAMES SANDS • SPECIAL TO THE TIME5-SENTINEL I I . : John Oliver was theyoungest - · member of Gallipolis' Company F of the 7th Ohio Divtsion· of the l"/ational Guard when it was ealled into active duty in 1917 with the United States' entry into World War I. Oliver, born in September 1899, had joined the Guard at (lge 16. He was 17 when he was promoted to corporal. Some four months later, while still17, Oliver was made sergeant. - John Oliver had a brilliant fnirid, which he put to great {lse as a campaign speaker. By about age 14, Oliver was regular1y making campaign ~peeches for the Republican · party all over Ohio and West Yuginia, It was expected that b-e waS headed for a great eareer in politics. : When the 7th was sent to ~amp Sheridan in Alabama, Oliver was made the corre~ndent of the group for the Vallipolis Bulletin newspa· ver. His letters back home are quite interesting to read. In Qne of his first letters, he told &f how the boys from Gallia County had been broken apart. Some of . them, like Oliver, had been assigned to Company F, !47th Re~iment. "Our 16 weeks of traimng has been c~t down to only 8 weeks in order · that we may , be sent to France sooner than they first intended. It seems that American troops are needed over there more than ever on account of the Italian retreat and the revolutionary troubles in Russia. This week's program consisted of bayonet drill, shelter tent pitching and signaling. The bayonet drill is entirely offensive. Parries and back steps are done away with." In his December 1917 letter, Oliver told about the cold, about practicing trench warfare, about bayonet practice and ·about gas masks. In one letter, Oliver tells that the cooks for his company were both from Gallipolis, Sam Jolly and Enos Luc](adoo. He said both are well liked by the unit. Another letter told how Conw.essman Switzer and other digruties from Old Gallia had visited the camp. They brought Shanz' stogies with them. Oliver says it was good to get a good cigar made it) Gallipolis. _ Once in Frat;~ce, Oliver's let- ters stopped. Other men· were designated to write of the activities of the regiment. One Gallia soldier ti;llked about tJw hardships and the fact that Bibles given to every man were getting used a lot more. It was some time in late August or early September that the 147th -was moved to the front. The soldiers dug trenches somewhere near Iviory, France and were under constant German fire. An Austrian 88,. knowti as a "Whiz-Bang" struck in the trench one day and hit where Ben Stormont and Leo Carter, former members of Company F, were. Carter was hit in the throat and the way blood was flowing, his comrades though that he had been hit in the jugular vein. Ben was struck in the back. He never lost consciousness, never grimaced in •' ' pain and smoked a cigarette all the time they were moving him. Stormont's injuries were n.QJ il?, sever and he survived that episooe oU't?Carter died. 1'wo other Gallians were killed in the trench near. Caner and Stormont. They were Stephen Heinis and Merle Vance. Amid the rain, mud, shell holes, gas and millions of bul· Jets flying around, the 147th went over the top, out of the trenches ad on the offensive in the drive towards Metz. It was in this offensive that John Oliver was killed by machine gun ftre. Both of his feet were shot off at the ankles. He was buried near Avicourt, France but his body was returned to Gallipolis in 1921. It is said that the reason the Doughboy sllltUe sits where. it does in the Gallipolis City Park is becansci · tluit IS whefe Oliver's tent was when Company F went into camp in rnid-1917. The compa· ny did about a month of training in the City Park before going on to Alabama. Stormont, by the way, who had survived the trench explosion was killed in the same offensive that took Oliver's life, receiving multiple machine gun wounds. , All of former Company Fin various units went over the top in this great offensive thl\t led to the end of WWI. The boys fought for some 52 hours straight without rest. Together, We Lost 885 POUNDS!
