SMITH Staff writer POINT PLEASANT, W.Va . - City officials say they ' re planning to return a sign at the foot of the .Bartow Jones Bridge alerting people to a local farmer' s market after they get approyal from the state Division of Highways. Bill Reebel, market master for Mason County Farmer's Market, came before Point Pleasant City Council in February wanting to know why the sign was removed. He said the sign, which had been at the foot of the bridge since 1999. was taken down without notification sometime last November or December. "I wasn't called," Reebel said. ''They went and did that on their own." During the council meeting, Mayor Ed Woomer said it was his understanding that under the lease the city signed with the highway d~partment for the touri sm center/water office. no signs could be on the property. Reebel, however, said he had an agreement with the highway department, giving him permission to place the sign on the sliver of property on which it was located. " It wasn 't in the way," Reebel said. No decision was made on the sig n during the meeting. Woomer and the council members said they would research the matter. Woomer said the city plans to seek approval from the highway department to place sign s once landscaping is completed around the property in May. Woomer also said he 's hot*f ing to combine the farmer's The Point Pleasant Wal~lng Club Will have its kickoff event at 10 a.m .

Ohio - The two remaining sections of the Ravenswood· Connector project in Meigs County will be compleled six months early, if · progress continues on schedule. According to Stephanie Filson from the Ohio Department of Transportation , the two remaining sec tions, considered to be the second and third phases of the new hi·ghway, were originally scheduled for completion in June 2004, but are now expected to be finish~d in Dece.mber of this year. ·"The two projects have been expedited and will probably be completed by December," Fil son said Friday. The two projects. totaling nearly $30 million, began in 2001. and include four miles of Super-Two highway between Five Poinls and Morning Star and 4.5 miles between Morning Star and Portland Road. A third seclion of the high. way neare st the bridge to Ravenswood. W.Va.. was completed last year. Fil son said Meigs County 's s.econd large highway project, two sections of new highwa)' between Darwin and Athens, ¥e "right on schedule," and are approximately halfway fmished . The two phases of highway construction will cost the state approximately $72 million to complete . .and are scheduled to be finished in mid-2004, Fil>6n said. The Athens-to-Darwin proJect ano the Ravenswood Connector are considered part of a larger "corridor" project linking Colunibus. Ohio, and Charleston, W.Va. That corridor project also includes a bypass of Lancaster, which is now underway, and a planned bypass of Nelsonville, which is on the ODOT drawing board. Filson &aid motorists traveling along the new Ravenswood Connector, especially in construction · areas, should be careful of temporary stop signs. The signs, she said, were erecled this winter before construction began , bul should now be carefully observed. 50 CENTS • Vol . 1 , No. 34 LocathMs .

CINC INNATI (AP) - The NAACP urged Gov. Bob Tafi on Friday to stop an execution scheduled May 14, citing an article published l ast week that called into question the inmate's murder conviction. Arthur Slater, l eader of the National Association for the Advancement o f Colored People, said questions about the conviction in 1989 of Jerome Campbell should be investigated. To go ahead with the execution would be "a gross miscarriage of j ustice," Slater said at a news conference. An article in the weekly Ci ndnn ati C it yBeat questioned the reliability of eyewitness ident ification and the testimony of mma tes. The articl e said DNA test s Campbell requested last year showed that blood on Campbell 's tennis shoes was his blood, not that of the victim, Henry Turn er. 78. wa s found stabbed to death in his Cincinnati apartment building in 1988.

NATIONAL VIEW . c Lynch family in no hurry for book, TV deals · • The Exponent-Telegram of Clarksburg, W.Va.: It was ·inevitable, perhaps. The story of Pfc . Jessica Lynch, which has captured the hearts and minds of the nation and the world, is bemg fought over by TV and movie producers and book publishers. Her family, though. is having none ef it- at least not right now. . The story of the Wirt County native is one of courage and triumph and drama. The aspiring school teacher has made her country and her state very proud. . . Jessica's parent~, Greg and Deadra, who were reumted with their famous daughter recently, are not in any hurry to benefit financially. "The way we've got this pictured, if they are offering movies, if they are offering books, put that on the back burn. er," said Greg Lynch Sr. . To a cenain extent, we can understand why producers and publishers want to secure the tights to the story. It's going to' make some network or book company a lot of money. But Ne also understand and applaud the Lynch's response. They have other priorities right now, none more important than to help their daughter get well and get on with her life. Someday, when all the dust has settled, we're sure Jessica will sit down with an author and tell her story. But not now.

On Sunday night of the ice storm and power outage, Pastor Mike and another church member were out in a borrowed four-wheel drive vehicle, going from door to door check on the senior citizens of the church and surrounding area. He called on the phone and if he could not get an answer, he went to their homes to make sure . they were all right. When he got no answer at my home, they suspected that I was at my daughter's house Oar Bass and came there to make sure Syracuse, Ohio I was all right and taken care of.
