That means I am alone and depressed most of the time because I miss him and have nothing to do. I never get to see him in school because our class schedule's are different. and on weekends we both have to work. It feels like I hang out with his best friend more, and he agrees that Justin needs to pay me a little more attention. Yes, I have told Justin how I feel, but his only reply was that he agreed he was being a jerk, he realizes he hasn't seen me and he 's sorry. The next day he was back at it, messing around with the wires and speakers. Please help me. What can I say to him to fix this problem?- MISS LONELY IN CONNECTICUT DEAR MISS LONELY: Tell him loud and clear you think ·the two of you should spend more time together or your romance is history. In the meantime, explore your own special interests. Do not totally depend upon · others for your entertainment and sense of worth. DEAR ABBY: My nephew was married six months ago. I I Dear Abby ADVICE gave him and his bride a beautiful wedding gift. To date, not one member of the groom's family or friends has received 1r thank -you note. The bride has written to all of her family and friends, but she has refused to acknowledge any from the groom's side. She told someone that it is HIS responsibility to write his own notes, and she is not going to "enable him." In my opinion, the bride is self-centered and has no feelings or interest in the groom's family. I see it as a slap in the face. In my 75 years here on Earth I have never seen a groom write a thank-you note. What do _you think? ANGRY AUNT IN AKRON DEAR ANGRY AUNT: In the words of Bob Dylan, "The times they are a-changing." In today 's world, most couples are both employed and share household and social duties . Please don't blame the bride. You're aiming your anger at the wrong target. DEAR ABBY: My 78-yearold mother ·has a shopping problem. It's been going on for as long as I can remember. I used to organize yard sales once or twice a ~ear to clear out some of the JUnk for her. We always had a huge turnout because Mom always had a nice selection of new stuff for sale. Now that I have moved away, my sister is left with the mess, and there have been no more yard sales. Isn't "binge shopping" considered addictive behavior? Our mother is hooked on the Home Shopping Network, as well as the sales racks at her local stores. We have pleaded with Mom to stop, but she always replies, "You mijlht as well dig a hole and suck me in it now!" That shuts us up in a hurry, because we were ·always taught to respect our elders. Have you any suggestions for us , Abby? TIRED OF THE MESS IN MONTANA DEAR TIRED OF THE MESS: Not unless your mother is willing to face the fact tl\at she has a problem. There are self-help groups for spend-a-holies, and anti- defeat cavs, 6 39 Florentine depressant and anti-anxiety medications that can help sufferers cope with the compulsion to spend. One rule is that if you're going to stop a negative ·behavior it must be replaced with a positive one. But all this is beside the point if your mother has the financial resources and doesn't believe she needs help.

"These people put in a lot of work," she said. "We do it each year because it meets the needs of people and this serves the community." Rader said a lot of peoplt: whom this ministry serves felt they had to earn their supper by helping distribute the food and other items donated by the community. These individuals' sense of self worth made these donated necessities a "handup" instead of "hand-out." Rader said the ministry does not seek to merely provide hand-outs, but something more that everyone in Meigs Couniy shares. "We do this becauSe of love of community, not as charity," she said. The new year is still young, but the charitable spirit of the last should continue as the seasons change. Rader said that recent economic trends have allowed poverty to continue to stalk many in the county. "There is still tremendous need in this community," she said.

Impersonator to .perform at SHS NRC reviewing staff recommendations CLEVELAND (AP) - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is reviewing nearly 50 staff recommendations on ways to improve oversight of the nation's nuclear reactors. The commission has scheduled a "Lessons Learned" meeting Tuesday in Rockville, Md., on issues related to reactor vessel head degradation at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in northern Ohio. The NRC is investigating the structural integrity of reactor vessel heads at 69 pressurized water reactors. A report on recommended reforms could be released at the meeting and was obtained in advance by The Plain Dealer, which reported Tuesday that it calls for tougher inspection regimens, better assurance that problems get fixed and ql,licker intervention. · NRC Inspector General Hubert 'f. Bell issued a report recently that said NRC officials put profits ahead of safety by allowing the plant's owner, FirstEnergy Corp., to waitmOf!l than a month before shutting the ~!ant down for refueling and safety inspecl!oos. During the shutdown, inspectors found last March that boric acid had nearly eaten into a 6-inch steel cap on the reactor vessel. The plant in Oak Harbor, neat Toledo, has been closed since then as costly repairs are made. NRC Executive Director William Travers has ordered his staff to come up with an "action plan" by Feb. 2& to implement oversight changes. The recommendations, some of which already are being acted upon and others that depend on budget and staff increases, grew out of an NRC task force's DavisBesso review. : The NRC has accepted a large share 'of the blame for allowing corrosion to feste( unnoticed for years at the Davis-Be~se reactor.

But that operation was abolished on the 20-year anniversary of the event as part of cost-saving and a revamp to make the agency's regulatory approach less burdensome to the nuclear industry. The changes are "not only obvious but grossly overdue," said Paul Gunter, of the nuclear watchdog group Nuclear Information and Resource Service.

Governor says four Former Supreme drug makers could .Court justice missing face ~ntitrust probe COLUMBUS (AP) Gov. Bob Taft has warned four top drug makers they could face an antitrust investigation if they do not honor commitments to provide discounts of Ohio's prescription drug program for seniors. Taft will ask the Ohio attorney general to examine whether the companies formed an illegal group boycott of the program if they back out, he told the drug makers Monday in a letter attained by The Associated Press. The four companies AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals , GlaxoSmithKiine, Pfizer and Merck & Co. - represent 65 percent of drug makers that offer rebates in Ohio, according to MemberHealth, the northeast Ohio company managing the program for the state. Without the drug companies' participation, the program won't work, said Greg Moody, Taft's executive assistant for health and human services. The state already decided to delay the program's, planned late January start for at least six weeks while it tries to persuade more pharmacies to par1icipate. Only about 65 percent of pharmacies in the state had enrolled at the beginning of January. Under the program, the state would buy drugs in bulk and negotiate rebates with drug makers. Senior citizens who cannot get a better price through health insurance can use their Golden Buckeye cards to get discounts when they fill prescriptions. Should the drug companies balk at Taft's demand, the governor said he would "have no choice but to seek . relief for our senior citizens by supporting the public Prescription Drug Fai~ Pricing Act or a similar alternative," the letter said.

NATIONAL VIEW IS BEINART'S VIEW Ambition trumps Bill Prist's record of compassion 8Y PETER BEINART The strange circumstances of Bill Frist's ascension have forced him to answer a question Republican senators don 't often face: What has he done for black people? Luckily for the GOP, the incoming Senate majOI;ity leader has an answer. And that answer is his work in Africa. I don't mean his medical work. Prist's dramatic, self-piloted journeys to perform surgery in war-torn African hospitals feature prominently in virtually every proftle of the Tennessee senator. But they testify to his decency and courage as a person, not his decency and courage as a senator. Frist's more politically relevant work stems from his two-year chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs. And, in this obscure comer of Congress, the Tennessee senator has amassed a record that hints at his likely performance in his new, far more public role. It is a record of decency, but, unfortunately, not of courage. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Frist's chairmanship is that he requested it at all, asking then-Sen. John Ashcroft to cede him the gavel of a subcommittee that attracts few cameras and distributes no pork. Frist has used his chairmanship to tackle three key issues. First, and most admirable, is his work on Zimbabwe. In July 200 I, with President Robert Mugabe using mob violence to bludgeon white farmers and black political opponents into submission in the runup to elections, the Senate passed Frist' s Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 200 I ..Jhe bill called on President Bush to stiffen U.S. sanctions against Mugabe's thug government, and that alone would have represented a fitting sequel to America's boycott of apartheid South Africa in the 1980s. But Prist's legislation went further, doubling U.S. aid for democracy promotion in Zimbabwe and thus assisbng the country's beleaguered opposition - something Washington never did for Nelson Mandela's African National Congress. And, perhaps most impressive of all, Frist's bill allocated $20 million for land reform in Zimbabwe to be spent when democracy is restored. By recognizing the plight of Zimbabwe's landless black masses, Frist's bill brilliantly undercut the far left's claim that America's real concern in Zimbabwe isn't democracy but white privilege. If I ran the Republican National Committee, I'd buy ads publicizing Frist's work · on Zimbabwe on every African-American radio station in the United States. But on Zimbabwe, Frist faced no serious opposition inside the GOP. The same can't be said of his two other major African initiatives: Sudan and AIDS. And it is these two initiatives that provide the truest picture of the political character of the next Senate majority leader. In June 200 I, the House overwhelmingly passed a bill containing Frist's capi· tal market sanctions. But, with the legisla· tion gathering momentum, Wall Street and its K Street friends rose up in opposi · Lion. The White House made it clear that it wanted the capital-market sanctions removed from any Senate bill . And so Frist, already the Bush administration's closest Senate ally, had to choose between his political allegiances and his moral ones. Had Frist forced the issue, he might have won. The Christian right cares deeply about Sudan's brutalized Christians, and Bush couldn't have easily vetoed a bill imposing tough new sanctions on their oppressors. But Frist let the White House off the hook. "The senator has fallen strangely silent," noted an August 2001 op-ed in The Washington Post. And, with Frist's acquiescence, capital-market sanctions were stripped from .. the Senate bill. On AIDS, the story is similar. In a dramatic March 2002 op-ed in The , Washington Post, longtime foreign-aid ~ nemesis Jesse Helms announced that he • and Frist would propose increasing .. America's international anti-AIDS budget . by $500 million. This "much-needed increase in funding," Frist said at the time, . would "demonstrate our continued resolve to be a compassionate nation, ;, which refuses to simply look the other : way." As spring ~ave way to summer, . Helms's deteriorabng health left Frist as . the initiative's chief backer. But, in June, with tbe AIDS increase about to go to a · Senate vote, Prist suddenly announced he .. was scaling it back to only $200 million. Frist's office told The Washin~on Post that he was responding to a White House veto threat. But as a Post editorial noted, It is worth noting, in both the Sudan and : AIDS fights, that Frist's instincts were right. He placed his concern for Africa's suffering people above the free-market ! fundamentalism and anti-foreign-aid dogmatism that inhibit many other conservatives from pursuing truly compassionate policies toward the world's poorest continent. If left to his own devices, Frist would have enacted policies that would have saved African lives. But Frist wasn't left alone. He confront- • ed a White House with far less noble pri- : orities, and, by making those priorities his • own, he preserved the political alliance : : that has now made him the most powerful ;; Republican in the U.S. Senate. Some !• recent Frist profiles have wondered whether this heart and lung surgeon, used to the independence and control of the . operating room, can master the deal-male"'·· ing, morally compromised, hyper-politi- .• cal world of the U.S. Senate. The answer, sadly, is that he already has. · (Peter Beinart is a columnist for The New Republic.) KONDRACKE'S VIEW .

The only other presidential contender to comment on the situation was Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who also blamed Bush. · . He charged on Dec. 27 that North Korea's moves to restart its plutonium plant wa~ "predictable and totally anticipated based on this administration's complete avoidance of a responsible approach to North Korea over a year and a half." It's true that the Bush administration held back from dealing with North Korea, but any Democrat who's honest should be at least equally critical of the Clinton administration for its fecklessness. After considering war to stop plutoniurn production, Clinton was diverted toward diplomacy by former President Jimmy Carter and then concluded the 1994 deal, which North Korea soon breached while the Clinton administration ignored intelligence reports on its cheating. Democrats also need to explain how if at all ~ they would handle other players in the North Korean equation China, South Korea, Ja~an, Russia and the U.N. Security Counc11. If they favor direct talks, cutting out other nations, they will have to explain why they are abandoning the usual Democratic penchant for multilateral action. the course that Bush is now taking. Most of all, the Democrats need to say whattheirendgameis-tobuyoffNorth Korea with massive aid, as Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has suggested, or to force denuclearization, as proposed by former Clinton aides Sandy Berger and Robert Gallucci. And they have to say what they'd do if, as seems entirely possible, North Korea rejects both pressure and promises and goes ahead building nuclear bombs. The danger is that Kim Jongll will sell them. The world terrorist network is surely buying. .

She asked if she should "sit tight and wait." She has already wasted seven years of her life. I hope she doesn't waste any more. She needs to get her act together and dump that bum. If she ever is unlucky enough to marry him, he will turn around, meet another woman and tell her the same lies. He's using his kids as an excuse.

The last increase raised rates from 45 to 50 cents. Council President Victor Young ill supports the rate increase because the revenue will be used to operate the new water treatment facility after it is built. If the ordinance fails, the village would have to pay for any additional expenditures involved in operating the facility. .

MU~T POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council member Todd Norton is undecided which way he will vote when a proposed water rate increase comes before council tonight. It would be the second rate increase in two years. As part of the loosely held majonty of four out of the six council members, Norton's vote may have added wei~ht. "I'm the swing vote,' he said. Norton said he has spent a lot of time listening to people in the past couple weeks. He · said a rate increase could be detrimental to many people living on fixed incomes in the community. "!' m worried about people scrounging around to pay their bills," he said. "I'm for the little man. That other dollar might go to the electric bill ." Council member Bryan Shank has consistently voted against a rate increase. For him, it is a matter of economics. 0 Using an example of a household that uses 4,100 gallons a month, a customer will pay $12 for the ftrSt 2,000 gallons plus 50 cenl~ per 100 gallons extra (2, 100 gallons). Add the additional $10.50 for the remaining 2,000 gallons and the total comes to $22.50. This figure does not include sewer costs, which are figured separately. Using the proposed rates, water costs $13 for the first 2,000 gallons and 55 cents for each I 00 gallons extra, Shank said.

"True, it is just a couple of dollars a month but the kicker is this - it is also a 9.1 percent increase in rates." Shank countered his critics who say that because Pomeroy has the lowest water rates in the area that an increase would just keep pace with the times. "If that is in fact true, I offer my congratulations to our water department employees and our village administrator and village clerk. But just because we have lower rates than communities in surrounding areas is not cause enough to justify raising them." "It would seem to me that perhaps we should slow down spending on projects instead of raising rates to cover them," he said. MILEs LAYTON Sandy larinarelli, as mayor of Middleport, signs a contract with Haynes Construction to replace the old slate roof on the freight station in Diles Park with a reproduction slate shingle one, the first phase of restoration. With lannarelli is Mary Wise of the citizens' group handling the project. (Charlene Hoeflich) Freight station restoration begins BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor MIDDLEPORT Preparations to start work on replacing the old slate roof on the century-old freight station in Diles Park with a reproduc· lion slate shingle one got underway Tuesday. Mayor Sandy lannarelli signed a contract with Haynes Construction at Monday night's meetin~ of Middleport Village Counc1l for $7,433.64 for the removal of the slate, doing the necessary structural repairs, and putting on the new roof. Workers were at the site Tuesday putting up scaffolding. The village purchased the station, built in 1899 by the Hocking Valley Railroad and later owned by the C&O Railroad, along with the area surrounding it in 1985. It has been maintained as a park. Please see Freight. AS Kmart spares Gallipolis store from closing, for now Index ; ~ :;;.: Currently, Pomeroy water rates are the lowest in the county. Customers tn Middleport pay approximately $8.14 for up to 2,000 gallons and $12.31 for sewage service. Senior citizens pay approximately $7.33 for up to 2,000 gallons and $11.08 for sewage service. Each customer also pays a $5 water improvement charge. On average, each customer pays at least $25.45 each month for water and sewage service. Senior citizens pay at least $23.41 each month. Young said that even with a simple rate increase, Pomeroy residents will pay less per month than those in Middleport by several doUars. "Nobody likes to pay more money for bills," Young said. "But, if you want something better for the community and the town, it's not going to be free."
