POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - While new housing starts on single-dwelling homes in Point Pleasant are not as high as the national level, Steve Williamson, city building inspector for Point Pleasant, said that there is a reason for the low numbers. "Because Point Pleasant is an old town, there are few emptY. lots that are available to build on, therefore there are few new houses being built within the city," said Williamson. While there is speculation on the number of houses being built outside the city limits, there are not verifiable records to show the number of houses being built within the county. Jeff Fowler, Registered Sanitarian for Mason County, said builders are required to have their sewage systems inspected, but no records are kept of the inspections . County Clerk Diana Cromley said a building permit is not required if a home is built outside the city limits, but people are required to check with the county commis.sion t\>. ~JII.I~sh.ey. are not buitding in a flooawall. County Commissioner Rick Handley said the only records that are kept are those who have· to file a floodplain permit if they are bui Iding in an ar~a that is P.rone to flooding. Mario Liberatore, Senior Vice President of Ohio Valley Bank, said the winter months had been slow for new housing loans, but lately they have been getting lots of calls. "It looks as though the trend for new housing might be a little higher than last year," said Liberatore. Vice Judy Holland, President of City National Bank, said if interest loans have anything to do with it, it will be a good year for new home construction. "Interest rates are a factor in the housing market and the interest rates on new home loans is lower than I have ever seen it in the 33 years I've been here," said Holland.

Byer said that FEMA representatives will be returning to assist local officials in completing the necessary paperwork. In talking about the amount of assistance, Byer said that he feels the preliminary estimate of $2 million in damage is probably low and that the figure will go higher. "A lot of roads are just not there now. We really got a lot of damatle from the ice. I believe that figure ·wtll go higher than we first estimated," he said. Byer explained that with the federal declaration, all eligible projects will have a reimbursement of 75 percent from the federal government and 12'/, percent from the state. That leaves local governments having to make up the other 12~, percent. He added that there is a 3 percent administrative amount that is allowable and that could cut down the overall expense to the county, villages and townships of 9), percent.

Cloudy POMEROY, Ohio - Meigs County could qualify for more than $2 million in federal and state assistance for the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged public facilities as a result of the .snow and ice storm in mid-February. President Bush on Friday declared several counties in Ohio, including Meigs and Gallia, as disaster areas as a result of the Feb. 14 winter storm. That declaration .triggered the release of federal funds to help communities recover, according to Bob B yer, Meigs County's Emergency Management Agency (EMA) director. B yer said that neither county was designated for individual or household assistance, although he indicated he plans to continue working on that aspect for Meigs County. "I haven't given up on that yet," he commented. Byer explained that being eligible for "public assistance" means help with repairing infrastructure work including county, village and township roads and bridges along with debris removal. In anticipation of the federal designation officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and a representative of the state EMA were in Pomeroy Thursday for a meeting with township and village officials and independent fire departments to explain what qualifies for assistance and to distribute packets of paper work nee- GOBA tour registration underway 0 - • ' HOEFLICH Recreation ~ ~- •• ., ' Disaster relief funds available News editor Pl.

I ~COOLO YOO?\ REGIONAL VIEW Bring it up Effirt to bring pay scale to national average worthwhile • Exponent-Telegram of Clarksburg, W.Va.: A recent report compiled by the U.S . Department of Labor showed average annual pay in West Virginia rising but still lagging behind most of the country. In other words, the report shows we are still struggling to catch up with the rest of the nation in yet another category. West Virginians· average annual pay was $27,982 in 200 I, a 4.1 percent increase over the previous year. Nationally, the average pay was $36,214, a 2.5 percent increase. So if there's any silver lining to the report, it was West Virginia's faster growth rate as compared to the national average. Yet the discrepancy in averages is startling. West Virginians still have a long way to go to catch up in average pay. Only Idaho. Arkansas, Mississippi. North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Washington, D.C. , had lower average pay than West Virginia workers. So next time you hear a teacher complain about being underpaid or a doctor vent about high malpractice rates, think about many of your fellow citizens who are having to make do with even fewer dollars. Everyone wants to cam a decent paycheck, but the cold, stark reality is that everyone won ' t. Inequities have always been built into the labor market. It's the nature of the beast. But if you want a good-paying job in West Virginia, the utility industry is the sector to be employed in. Other high-paying jobs include mining, management of companies and enterprises, manufacturing and wholesale trade. What can our state guvemment do to raise average annual pay in West Virginia? There is no consensus on how to attack this problem, but our state is making an attempt by encouraging more students to attend college and securing more manufacturing and high-tech jobs. And although everyone can 't bring home big bucks, more can be done to bring our pay scale nearer to the national average. We think our leaders should redouble their efforts to draw better jobs to the Mountain State - now that it is no longer so isolated by bad roads and lack of infrastructure . West Virginians have always been an industrious people, contrary to an old stereotype. We need to hook them up with jobs that pay decent wages.

Thought for Today: "Sometimes it"s worse to win a tight than to lose." - Billie Holiday, American singer ( I91 5-1959). Does the Pope believe Saddam will listen? It is fairly easy to understand why France, Germany, China and Russia oppose removing Saddam Hussein by force; all of those countries are doing profitable business with Saddam, and all of them would like to see American power diminished. But Pope John Paul II is another matter. His opposition to military action is understandable in theory but troubling in practice. · John Paul has sent his emissary, Cardinal Pio Laghi , to tell President Bush that attacking Iraq would be "unjust" and '"immoral." That's like sending Sister Mary Theresa to tell Eminem to stop cursing. The president is firmly convinced that Saddam is an evil man with murder on his mind . Short of Jesus appearing in the Oval Office with an opposing point of view. Mr. Bush is not going to change hi s opinion. The Catholic Church embraces the tradition of "just war." That is. any use of force must be accompanied by clear and convincing evideuce that only force will solve a situation that is both Bill O'Reilly threatening and immoral. And since there is the poS!ioibility that U.N. weapons inspectors might be able to restrain Saddam, the Pope believes there are still options to war. The problem with this argument is faith, pardon the pun. The Pope is putting his faith in .a system of inspections that very well might fail. If that happens and even a portion of Saddam's unaccounted for 8,500 liters of anthrax are used against peopie. a worldwide catastrophe would ensue. The Pope does not answer questions, so it is impossible to know what he thinks about that possibility. We also don't know how John Paul squares keeping Saddam in power considering hi s murderous past. It 's one thing for the to condemn Vatican Saddam's gas·sing of the Kurds, mass murder and rape in Kuwait, and funding of suicide bombing expeditions, it is quite another to prevent those things. So what are America's 65 million Catholics supposed to do? Theologically, the Pope is on firm ground. Humanistically; he is· one of the many Saddam enablers. If the nations of the · world would unite against evil things like Saddam. and the insanity of countries like North Korea, deadly situation s would be solved and the world would be a better, safer place. But the world wi II not unite against evil, and the Pope does not call for that practical unification. Instead. he calls for peace. Does he really believe Saddam and Kim lung II are listening? The Catholic Church teaches "tranquillitas ordinis," the peace of order which is supposed to be imposed by legal and political means. But as the world has seen, Osama Bin Laden, Adolph Hitler and, yes, Saddam Hussein · has not been real bullish on "the peace of order." Instead, they have embraced the practice of '"violent chaos." As a loyal Catholic, I am glad the Pope is praying for America and for peace. I pray his prayers will work a miracle and Saddam will be removed from power without bloodshed. But if that miracle is not forthcoming, this Catholic does not have faith tbat Saddam will not use .his outlawed anthrax somewhere down the line. And so to prevent the mass death · that took place in Europe and Asia while another pope was praying 60 years ago, I support the moral quest of removing a dangerous killer from power. God forgive me.

We have been under renovation for the past few weeks and the Grill was in complete disarray at the time of the inspection. There are inherent difficulties with operating a restaurant in a 100-year old building, but we feel the beauty and the history of the Iron · Gate are well worth the 'effort. We are proud to be a part of Main Street in Point Pleasant and proud to be the only fine dining experience in the area. This letter is in no way intended to discredit Mr. Fowler - who was only doing his duty as inspector - or the Point Pleasant Regi ster for doing its duty to in form the public, but is to correct a mi sunderstanding. We would like to sincerely thank dur customers for being patient through the renovation and would be proud to show anyone who comes to dine with us through our newly remodeled kitchen .

Oh io State's Brent Darby drives on Wisconsin's Alando Tucker in the second half of OSU's 58-50 win in a quarterfinal game at the Big Ten tournament in Chicago Friday. (AP) Badgers! We don't need no stinking Badgers! ·Buckeyes upset No. 18 Wisconsin, 58-50 BY NANCY ARMOUR Associated Press CHICAGO - Two weeks ago, Ohio State was barely abo ve .500, and the NCAA tournament was far from the Buckeyes· minds. Now they' re on a roll, two victories away from an improbable spot in the field. Led by a gritty defense and Sean Connolly's stron g shooting, Ohio State stunned No. 18 Wisconsin 58-50 Friday in the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes ( 1613), winners of three of their last four games, will pl ay the winner of the Michigan State-Purdue game in Saturday's semifinals. "Winning the tournament, the main thing is just about desire," said Brent Darby, who . ... made four free throw s in the final 39 seconds to seal the victory. "So we just want to take each game one by one and not look past anybody. "We can't afford to do that, anyway.'' Connolly fini shed with 2 1 points on 8-of12 shooting, including 5-of-7 from 3-point range. Darby had 16 points, six assists and just one turnover. Ohio State shot 46 percent from the tloor while holding Wisconsin to 34 percent. The Badgers also had II turnovers, including two very costly ones in the final 45 sec· onds. Kirk Penney led the Badgers with 14 points, and Alando Tucker had 13. Devin Harris was j ust 2-of- 11 from the tloor with three ass ists and three turnovers. With the loss, the Badgers (22-7) became the third top seed - and the second from the state of Wisconsin - .to fall in the opening game of a conference tournament. Please see Buckeyes, 7 Junior Seau appears to be on his way out of San Diego after more than a decade as the heart of the Chargers' defense. The 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker, a stalwart since his rookie year in 1990, has been given permission to seek a trade. If that doesn't materialize, he probably will be released. 4 We approached it on middle ground, where we'd involve Junior in the process of exploring a trade," coach Marty Chargers Schottenheimer said. "We sought to try to address what was in the best interests of both parties, to keer. our options ~pen. It's a dtfficult sttuatton. The 34-year-old Seau was voted to the Pro Bowl last season but missed the game after surgery for an ankle injury that bothered him for most of the season. He missed three games and part of another. The Pro Bowl selection was a surprise to many, especially since he wasn't as dominant as he had been in previous seasons, and he was ·only the team's third-leading tackler. In other moves Friday: • Two-lime Pro Bowl running back Stephen Davis si~ned a five-year deal, $15.5 mtllion with the Carolina Panthers. The contract includes a $2.5 million signing bonus, with another $500,000 bonus for reporting to training camp. Davis' agent announced the deal Thursday. • Quarterback Shane Matthews signed with Tampa Bay as the backup to Brad Johnson. Matthews replaces Rob Johnson, who signed with Washington last week, taking Matthews' old backup spot there. • Philadelphia signed linebacker Nate Wayne, who was released las t Monday by Green Bay. He will replace Shawn Barber, signed as a free agent by Kansas City. • Pittsburgh re-signed quarterback Charlie Batch, the former starter in Detroit.

CHI CAGO (AP) - A day after Indiana head coach Mike Davis complimented the crew of officials working the Hoosiers' game at the Big Ten tournament, Purdue head coach Ge ne Keady and guard Willie Deane critiqued them.. Deane said the way officials called Friday's game threw the Boilermakers off during a 54-42 loss to Michigan State in which Purdue scored just 12 first-half points. "They are under the microscope and they are going to call a close game becau se they are trying to make it to postseason refereeing as well ," Deane said . "A ll those illegal screens that were called agai nst us and th ings li ke that really di dn 't allow us to get our traiNlion buckets like we norm ally ge t.'' Deane said. Keady was issued a technical after argui n~ with officia ls over the foul di, parit y m the fi rst half. " I said I' m goi ng to pull my team oil the tl oor. Th is is ri dic ulous. I want to pl ay basketball, grabbing and al l the (garbage) goi ng on," said Keady. 'They had six ca lls in a row against us, it's like let's pl ay some basketbal l. Keady said he also tried to moti vate hi s team by gett ing the techni cal. Buckeyes "Coach did a great job of gett ing us back into the game." Darby said. " He just bas ically let us know. if we ' re nol go ing to step up. we' re going to lose this game. Those we ren' t hi s exac t words, but that was the me"agc that we got. " Wi scon sin had a chance to make it interesting after Connoll y\ JUmpe r gave Ohi o State a 51 -45 lead with 2:53 to play.

Harris drew a quick fou l and made both shot s. cutting Ohio State's lead tn 53-50 with 55 seconds left. Connoll y then missed the front end of a one-and one and the Badgers got the rebound . But Harris lost control of the ball under the basket. and the Badge rs were forc ed to foul. Darby made both , and then the Badgers committed yet anoth er turnover, thi s one when Owens tossed the ball away. Ohio State's inbounds pass hit the basket and landed in Wiscon sin guard Clayton Han son's hands, but he missed a long 3-pointer. The Badgers fouled Darby again, and he made both shots. "We were in the game at the end," Penney said. "We j ust didn 't do the job." from PageS Girls .JL----,-------------------------------l Arizona, the No. I team in the country, was upset by UCLA in the Pac-10, while Marquette was embarrassed by UAB in the Conference USA tourn ament. "It's very difficult to get things done when you're shooting a percentage like that," Wisconsin coach Bo Ry an said. "Teams that stay alive right now are the teams that can knock some shots down. "The amazing thing is, it was a oneor two-posse ss ion game and we weren't making shots." Wisconsin hadn 't rlayed in eight days but it started wei , making five 3pointers to open the game. But Ohio State abandoned its zone defense and went to man-to-man, and the Badgers couldn't get past it. They finally found a way to get inside at the start of the second half, opening with an Il - l run to take a 3631 lead. Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien called a timeout and chasti sed his team . "I got on them pretty good," O' Brien said, laughing. "I thought we came out lethargic in the second half, and I just really challenged them. We just were not guardins. We just needed to get focused agam and pick it up like we finished the first half." That's just what the Buckeyes did. They held Wisconsin scorele ss for the next 4 1/2 minutes while they went on a 9-0 run to take the lead for good . , '' lSD.&. 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT ·•0 • A4fomatlc, V~ Ram AirPower Power, Windows, Keyless Entry, Cruise Control, CO System $~~ , W ,'' ,, ·.

I would have been married last month to "Barbara," whom I met back home three years ago. However, Barbara broke up with me because she thought our engagement was too long, and she was tired of waiting. After Barb broke our enga~ement, she started hangmg out with a rough crowd • drinking, smoking dope, etc. The last time I was home on furlough, she confessed that two weeks after our engagement was called off, she had sex with a guy she dido 't even know. Barb knows she made a terrible mistake. . After much soul-searching I forgave her - and we are once again talking marriage. My problem is, I feel a strong urge to cheat on her before we tie the knot. I was up-front with Barb about my feelings. I argued that it took II months before she'd sleep with me, and it took her only two weeks to find a total stranger to have sex with. Every time I think about the fact that Barbara had sex with someone else, it makes Dear Abby ADVICE me want to retaliate. Should I act on it, Abby? -SOUL· SEARCHING IN SEOUL DEAR SOUL-SEARCHlNG: Please RE-consider everything you are considering. Having sex with someone in order to punish a third party is a poor reason to have sex. I urge you to resist the impulse. Frankly, I think neither of you is ready to marry anyone at this time. DEAR ABBY: I am curious about baby shower etiqueue. I'm 27 and pregnant with my second child. My son from a previous relationship will be 8 years old this month. I am now married, and this will be my husband's first child. I had a shower before my son was born, but as the years passed I've given away most of his baby things. A few of my closest friends want to give me a r shower, but my sister is telling everyone that it's 'not appropriate. It's not so much the 11i fts I want, but the celebratiOn of this new life growing inside me. If you c'an offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciat- · ed. SECOND-TIME MOM IN LOUISIANA DEAR SECOND-TIME MOM: I see nothing inappropriate about a shower for the new baby, for the good reasons you have given. Please don't let your sister spoil a happy occasion. DEAR ABBY: I am a recovering alcoholic with 20 years of sobriet:t- My daughter is in the midst of planning her weddin~. I am going to pay for It, which . I'm happy to do. My dilemma: I feel reluctant to pay for the alcohol. My daughter and her fiance explained the situation to his parents and asked them to pitch in. They refused. I have no objection to liquor being served, but as a matter of principle, I don't want to foot the bill. Please advise. - FATHER OF THE BRIDE IN OHIO DEAR FATHER OF THE BRJDE: Do not feel guilty for standing by your convictions. Under the cir- cumstances, your position is understandable. Since the groom's parents refuse to pitch in, arrange for a variety. of nonalcoholic beverages to be served - and don't apologize. If your daughter wants to serve alcohol, tell her that she and her fiance are welcome to pay for it.

Please see Meigs, AS Speaker Bob Kiss, 0-Raleigh, referred to as an Hamazing session," was highlighted by budget issues, workers' compensation, and medical malpractice which pushed education issues into the background. However, Parsons applauded the Legislature for staying out of the school calendar issue and committing the topic to a study group for this term. Mason County has lost 10 days already this school year due to an unusually messy winter. "Every time there's a diffi cult winter, people kinda run with a counter-punch or knee-jerk reaction, 'What are we gonna do about this lost time?'" said Parsons . "When teachers are pressed, we find other ways to curtail some of the enrichment things and get back to the basics, and we make it work fairly well." Parsons noted that he dido 't think that extending the school year was a beneficial idea, noting that summer benefits family time and gives students a chance to participate in activities like fairs and 4H. Summertime is also when younger educators work on their continuing education requirements. One positive change Parsons noted was that educators will now be given live full faculty senate days with two of those outside the school term.

"There has been a letdown (without full-day faculty senate) this year in truly being able to truly concentrate with the staff on the things they need to learn to better work with the children," said Parsons. He also noted that Senate Bill 522, which addresses board reforms, was a positive one . "Boards will have to annually scrutinize themselves and evaluate themselves, as well as the superintendents," said Parsons. One House budget proposal featured a $17 million cut in educational technology spending from the proposed Senate version of the budget. Parsons found that possibility a negative one. "The modem movement of education is on the backs of technology," he said. "Cutting in that area seems to me like one of those cutting off your nose to spite your face kind of issues." Parsons said that previous administrations have made efforts to improve the technology of West Virginia's schools. "I certainly don't think now is the time to take the investment away," he said. The current budget pinch directed by Gov. Bob Wise kept issues Like educational salaries from being addressed.
