I did not get pregnant on purpose. I had my son because I could not bring myself to get an abortion or give up my baby. It has not been an easy • Dear Abby ADVICE road. I married my baby 's father, even though he was only one month out of high school. and I dropped out of my first year of college. The first 10 years of our marriage were spent struggling to make ends meet. He worked. making $6.25 an hour as a roofer's apprentice. I waited tables at night. sometimes until 2 or 3 a.m .. then I would get up at 6:30 a.m. to feed the baby. There was no money to go out with friends or for new clothes, and we lived in a tiny house in a bad neighborhood. Lack of money caused most of our marital problems. Abby, as much as I loved my son, . I also resented him because all my' dreams were put on permanent hold and I had to live the way I did. I spent days, weeks and months cryin~ hours at a time in despatr. This was not the life I had envisioned.

As POMEROY lhe Federal Emergency Management Agency has arrived in Pomeroy to assess damage from the Mother's Day flood, which caused damage to a number of homes in the area of Mulberry Avenue. · Meigs Emergency Management Director Robert Byer s,aid he joined an inspection team TIJ.esday in visiting homes which sustained water and mud damage as the result of Saturday's fla sh flooding on Mulberry and Union avenues and Wright Street. "There 's a lot of damage in that neighborhood," Byer said . "A lot of basement damage has been reported, and there's been a lot of damage to furnaces in the area from water getting into basements." Byer said the county highw ay department and Engineer Eu~ene Triplett are now worktng on as sessing damage to county infrasctructure, includin g bridges aqd cui verts. Most of th at damage, Byer said, occurred . on <;:ounty Road 7A, formerly Ohio 7, between Pomeroy and Five Points , where. Harrisonville Elementary to be sold at auction Bv CHARLENE HoEFLICH News editor POMEROY The Harrisonville Elementary School building and its contents when abandoned by the Meigs Local School District in June will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder. The Board of Education made that decision at a meeting Tuesday night after again listening to proposals from Harold Graham and Les Hayman. Hayman wanted the building to use for a ministry and a Bible college. Graham wan\' ed it for private development 'and community use . Both had been 10 previous meetings and expressed their interest. At last night's meeting, Graham again offered $20,000 for the building and detailed his plans for its use . He said the ups!airs would be converted into apartments, and the downstairs rooms would be used for a discount food store, a tutoring room and library, an alumni center, a senior center and fitness center, and the gym for community use. · Robert Butcher, a Scipio Township trustee, also was at www.mydaily•entinei .<Dm the meeting to talk about' a need for keeping the Harrisonville ball fields for use by community youth. Meigs Commissioners Jim Sheets and Mick Davenport were there at the request of the school board because an earlier proposal had been to sell the building for $1 to the Commissioners who had agreed to accept it for possible transfer or leasing to Hayman . Davenport explained that according to an opinion from the office of Ohio's attorney general the commissioners "cannot just give away property, but it has to go up for bid or be le!lsed except when it is being used for special purppses, like a senior center, hospital, or historical society." He said the cummissioners are still waiting for further clariti. cation on.how to handle property transferred 10 the county. Superintendent William Buckley stressed that the board just wants to do what is in the best interest of the district. He raised a question of what would happen if the building is sold for $1 to the commissioners who lease it to a group which falters. then it reverts back to the commis- sioners who might look to selling it. "If the property is to be sold then the proper entity to sell it is the school district." Buckley said. "And therein enters a controversy," he added. He emphasized that he is just looking to ·the interest of the district, that the district doesn't want to own the building. He then suggested that the best solution might be to sell it. At that time Hayman agreed to withdraw his proposal contingent on the preservation of the ball fields for youth programs. The board moved into executive session and several minutes later went back into the regular meeting and voted unanimously to divide the property into two parcels. · T.he-- first parcel is to be transferred to the Scipio Township trustees for the "continued use ·of the citizens of Scipio Township and the youth in particular" and is to include a sewage easement from the second parcel which is the building and contents, to be offered to the highest bidder, water traditionall)i covers the roadway at D a r k Hollow during flash flood periods .. . "I' m still waiting to Byer hear back from the county aboui the extent of the damage to their infrastructure, but there has definitely been damage in that area. " Byer said he and a FEMA representative met Tuesday with homeowners in the affeCted Mulberry Avenue area , and with Pomeroy Village Administrator John Street Anderson and Superintendent Jack Krautter, to begin assessing the extent of property damage . Meigs County received four inche s of rain in three hours on Saturday, resulting in run-off water which overflowed storm sewer drains in the area. At Colonial Park Apartments on Mulberry Avenue, members of 14 households were evacuated to the Meigs Motel, where they remained at presstime today. Those basementapartment residents were provided with food vouchers from the American Red Cross, and will ' likely be displaced for an indefinite period of time, according to a complex spokesman .

And, today, a clear majority of the Senate has said that it is time for us to fix it." - Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) "Campaign finance reform will end the corrosive influence of special interest money." - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (DCalif.) Boy, it sure didn't take long for the less-avaricious-thanthou Democrats to reveal their hypocrisy. No sooner did a three-judge federal panel strike down several provisions qf the McCainFeingold campaign finance law, including its ban of soft money, than did the party of Daschle and Pelosi kicked off a new "soft money" campaign. Of course. Daschle and Pelosi were among the Democratic leaders who declared soft money - the unlimited donations from corporations, unions and wealth)! mdi vi duals - a particular ev1l of the campaign finance sys. tern. That is why, SUIJiiiOSedly, they supported the ban on such donations, as did the overwhelming majority of their fellow Democrats who voted for McCain-Feingold. Yet, in the wake of last week's rulipg by the judicial panel, which may, or may not be upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, in whole or pan, the Dems couldn't wait to reopen the soft money spigot. The Washington Post reports that the Dems' strategy "in"Q!ves creating two groups unmistakably aligned with the Democratic Party's longstanding campaign organizations for the House and Senate." Indeed, House Minority Leader Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) were headliners at a fund-raiser this week for a new outfit called the New House PAC. The two House Democratic leaders helped the group raise · Joseph Perkins "hard money," the limited, regulated category of donation that lawmakers can lawfully solicit. But the group plans to ask donors for soft money later this year, according to the' Post, and serve as sort of "shadow committee" for the Democrat Party. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Daschle and Minority Whip Harry Reid (D-Nev.) are slated . to headline a hard money fund-raiser next week for another new group, the Democratic Senate Majority Fund. The group's literature boasts that it provides a means to funnel soft money through a "critical, and indeed, unique" ven-. ture to elect Democrats to the Senate. The Post informed that the group "intends to operate as the all-but-official stand-in for Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee," which raised and spent millions of dollars ·in soft money in past years. The executive director of the new fund-raising group doesn't even attempt to hide its intentions, as the Post attested. "Can I go to Microsoft," said Marc Farinella, "and say Daschle, Reid and other senators are committed to this organization" and ask the company for soft money? "Yes, l think I can have that con versalion." And Daschle and Reid apparently are fine with such an end run around McCainFeingold. Despite their professed aversion to soft money. Such duplicity_on campaign · finance reform ts par for the course for the buckraking Democrats. While they accuse . Republicans of being captive to "special interest money,'' while they made political hay for themselves by seemingly backing McCain-Feingold, they have done everything they can to circumvent both the letter and the spirit of the law. And in a party of campaign finance hypocrites, none are bigger than New York Sen. Charles Schumer and North Carolina Seri. John Edwards . . The New York Post reported last month that Schumer, one of the loudest advocates of campaign finance reform, accepted nearly $50,000 .in . donations earlier this year from Guardsmark, a private security fmn. The contributions came in the form $1,000, S I ,500 and $2.000 checks from Guardsmark employees around the country, all ''blkldied" together. As a thank you for their generosity. Schumer became a cosponsor of legislation that would give security firms like Guardsmark access to the FBI's criminal database. Of course, the lawmaker insisted there was no quid pro quo. Then there's Edwards, the erstwhile trial lawyer, who hopes to be his party's presidential nominee next year. The Justice Department's criminal division is mvestigating contribut ions to the Democrat's campaign by employees of a Little Rock law fmn. Justice is especially interested in $2,000 contributions the Edwards campaign accepted from four legal assistants at Thmer & Associates, a frrm specializing in personal injury litigation. One of those legal assistants, Michelle Abu-Halmeh, told The Washington Post that her boss, Tab Turner, the fmn's principal lawyer, promised he would reimburse her for her donation. Of course, Tumer denied, denied denied that he broke campaign finance law on behalf of fellow trial lawyer Edwards. to whose political committee, Ne,w American · Optimists, Turner's fim1 contributed $200,000 in sof.t money last year. And the Edwards campaign said it was shocked to learn of the illegal fund raising. And tq show how committed it is to "abiding by the highest ethical standards," it retumed $10,000 to the clerks and paralegals at Turner & Associates. Yet, questions remain about many of the donations Edwards has not returned. The Hill , a newspaper that covers the doings of Congress, reports that the Democrat's campaign finance documents show a pattern of giving by low-level employees at law firms, a number of whom appear to have limited financial resources and no prior record of political donations. Indeed, it is hard to believe that so many paralegals earning an average pre-tax salary of $44.416, according to the Legal Assistant Management Association -. have so much extra cash lying around that they are able to cut the Edwards campaign $2,000 checks, the maximum allowed under McCain-Feingold. It' s not quite on a par with the $1,000 checks the · Buddhist nuns donated to AI Gore back in 1996. But it's close. The party of Daschle and Pelosi, Reid and Hoyer, and Schumer and Edwards feigns , commitment to McCainFeingold, to campaign finance reform. But when the Dems are presented opportunities to demonstrate that commitment, they surreptitiously raise soft money, they accept campaign contributions from interests for whom they carry legislation, and they shake down legal assistants for dubious campaign contributions. (Joseph Perkim i~ a columnist for 7he San Diego Union-7rihure and can be reached at JasephPerkins@UnionTrib.mn) Don't fenre me in We speni a week at a beach Fesort last summer - one house, one condo, one vacation home after another for miles. ·The houses were jammed together butt to butt, each one with a fence separating them. House, fence, house, fence, house, fence, house, fence, house, fence as far as the eye could see. The cheapest house cost half a million dollars. most of them much, much more. So here's my question. What are the fences for? To keep the thieving millionaires next door from coming over and stealing your TV set in the middle of the night? Most people will say the fences are for privacy. Well , I'm all for privacy. That's why we have curtains, that's why we have doors. But a fence? What are you doing '1n that million-dollar beach house that needs that much privacy? -Grilling hamburgers? Reading the latest Stephen King novel? Dririking fruit smoothies? God forbid someone should see you doing that Without the privacy fence you might have to wave to your neighbor, you might have to say ''Good morning." Wouldn't that just be the end Jim Mullen of the world'' Let's see.~ you rented the beach house so you could walk down a public beach halfnaked in a bathing suit that covers practically nothing and you're wonied about privacy? I don'teven know what')Jrivate" means anymore. Sue and I went to our favorite restaurant the other night and there was a little sign out front that said "Closed Tonight: Private Function." They had rented the place .ou! for a wedding reception. It -was so private they invited 300 people. On a normal night there's only 50 people in the restaurant. Wouldn 't that have been more private? If 300 people is private, what's. public? Would the happy couple really have noticed if we ate dinner there? Would it have spoiled all their fun? Could I ., . ' really be anymore of an embarrassment to them than their drunken Uncle Gmbby Pants? And, unlike their own relatives, we would have paid for our own dinner. If the bride and groom are all that concerned about their privacy maybe they should have eloped. And rented a beach house with a great big privacy fence. Will _Rog,rs said "Good ·fences make good neighbors," but I say good neighbors make good neighbors. Whenever I see a neat, new row of 2-foottall spruce trees next to a house here in the CO!Jntry, l know some · city person has just bought themselves a weekend house. They can't stop themselves from putting up some kind of fence. As iJ the farmer on the left who owns 400 acres and the guy on the right who owns 600 acres are going to get together and scam the city guy out of his measly 5 little acres if he doesn't mark it off. Of course all it does is alert the local delinquents that weekenders live in ihis house and that it's a safe bet that no one's going to ·- be home this Wednesday night. When the : row of 2-foot-tall trees grows they'll end up cutting most of them down because all they do is block the view they paid so much to see. The view of all the land they don't own. There is a cult of fences. Fenced-in gated communities are a big thing for developers. No one can get in unless they have a tag on their car, or unless someone in the commu-' nity gives them pennission to come in. You can walk down the streets in absolute ·safety. You' ll never feel so safe in your lite. Incredibly safe. And · bored to death. As if any tence could keep out life's real tragedies. Your parents wi II still die, your divorce will still be final , your kids will still make stupid mis-, takes. Getting mugged ? There are wors~ things that could happen to you. Having to spend the rest of your life behind a 6-toot concrete wall· would be one of them . (Jim Mullen is the author oj: " It Takes A Village Idiot: A. Memoir of Life After the City."

Austin Kearns and Adan1 Dunn supplied much of the offense with two-run homers in the first inning that led the Reds to a 7-2 victory over the Cardinals on Thesday night. But as Griffey came back, Barry Larkin got hurt. The Cincinnati shortstop reinjured his left calf while running the ba~es in the second inning and Was removed for a pinch-runner. The Reds said he strained the calf and wjll be evaluated Wednesday. An injury to the same calf put Larkin on the d.i);abled list from April 14 to May 5.

Man jailed With buddy's killer is trying to forgive DEAR ABBY: I am a 22year-old inmate. Two years ago, one of my best fnends was killed by a drunk driver. When I was sentenced for theft and incarcerated here, I .learned ·that the guy who killed my buddy is also doing time in this correction center. For the longest time, I hated the guy who killed ,my pal. But after a while I start6d feeling bad for him. He has to live for the rest of his life with the fact that he killed someone because he g.ot behind the wheel when he was wasted. .At first, all I wanted to know was what happened that night. But after time went by, I ended up wanting to forgive him. When I told my friend's wife, "Trisha," that I was getting to know this guy, she got really angry. I understand how Trisha feels, but she's not the only one whose life was wrecked that night. I lost a good buddy and I'm trying to forgive the man who's responsible.

That was ftve weeks ago. Tuesday, · Samuel Thompson, Betty Farrdl' and Pat Thompson, trustees, and Rod King, the head bartender, went to the Senior Cenl\lr and presented a check for $2,500 to Oliver for the Meals on Wheels program. They announced that another $2,000 would be coming from the Grand Aeries of Eagles in Columbus. It was the group's first time to donate to the program which last year delivered 52,000 meals to the elderly and disabled across the county in three hotshot trucks. "As long as we can help we want to give to this program," said .Samuel Thompson who noted that evecyliody helped raise the money. A spaghetti dinner was served, tickets on various products were sold, and personal donations were made, according to Pat Thompson, president-elect of the Auxiliary. "We all worked," she said. Oliver described the program as a "lifeline" for many elderly residents who live alone and have the driver delivering the meal as their only contact on some days. "It means so much for them to stay in their own homes. H,aving meals delivered to them. .contributes to making that P.<JSSible, and contributions ltke this really help us to be able to do that." said Oliver. 81·3 A2 Publ~hing C~. · .sLA.P t1E FI'IE. ~ OJl. · r~ I MME !»>l"1E SKI N ': pilrk manager enue," Wachter said.

Rick Butcher, head of the Elks Veteran's Committee, said 100minute AT & T phone cards will be donated to active servicemen and women serving in the Middle East. Butcher is asking that family members send the names and mailing addresses of their loved ones to P.O. Box 303, Gallipolis, OH 4563 J, so cards can be mailed to them. "We need this response from family members because we are unable to obtain a list of the names ourselves," Butcher said. He added that convenience was a major factor in why the committee chose to send phone cards. "We think phone calls make the · troops feel a little closer to home, . and they' re easy to send. "We have Elks members who have sent rackages since the beginning o the conflict and the troops have not received the ftrst package," Butcher said. 'They are receiving letters,' though, and phone cards are small enough to be sent with a letter." Butcher said AT & T phone cards are able to be activated anywhere in the world. · ·"We just wanted to do a little something that would show the troops how much we appreciate what' they ·are doing," he said. · "If they have to be far away from their families, at least they can feel a little closer with a phone www.mydaily•entinei.<Om New mayor says he won't contest two appointments BY MILLISSIA RUSSELL •' @@@(9@@® THURSDAY• MAY 15 • 2003 Staff writer • VJCW, • Elks help soldiers stay in touch Assimilate food 42 Gets paid 43 Curly·lalled dog 45 Quick look 47 Tolstoy et al. 48 Decline 36 Astrograplt Thursday.
