Mark Norman. owner and proprietor of 1st Class Trash Removal, met with council to request permission to operate a 29,000-pound Ford L8000 compactor garbage truck on Union Avenue, Butternut Avenue and 13rick Street; all of which are under th e village's cu rrent 24,000-pound weight limit. "It is my belief that these streets arc structurally sound and able to bear the weight of our vehicle," said Norman. "Currently, th ese streets are being used by school buses and fire trucks, both of which are heavier than our garbage truck." "I .am aware of the difficulties the village has previously had with other trash removal providers over this issue and 1st Class Trash Removal wams to comply with all street limitations." he added. "We only request leniency for Union and Butternut avenues and Brick Street.As a resident of Pomeroy, the condition of our streets is an important concern to me," Norman said. After meeting in a brief executive session , council denied Norman's reqt•est, citing the weight limit ordinance as a safety measure to ensure the durability and longevity of the villages streets: However, council agreed that Norman would be allowed to pick up a dumpster at Pomeroy Cliff Apartments on Union Avenue du ring various tim es of the year.

However, a new poll sug- gests Americans are more su~picious of congressional Democrats than of Bush. In the USA Today/CNN/Gallup survey, 29 percent said Bush believed he would owe Enron executives special policy treatment in return for campaign contributions; 55 percent believe congressional Democrats felt that way. The pitch for good corporate citizenship, a staple. of Bush's presidential campaign, is' part of his State of the Union push for pension law revamping and the disclosure of more corporate financial . information, said aides who spoke on condition of anonymity. As part of a broad call for community activism, Bush also plans to propose expanding a national service program statted by former President di~ton, and open it to churches and other faith-based institutions, aides said. , Bush rehearsed . the speech ·in the White House theater on BY BRIAN ..

The plan, suggested by the company and approved by the Public Utilities Coll1Jl$sion of Ohio in October, allowed the utility to distribute some of the money it had accumulated in its depreciation fund because it underestimated the life span of its facilities and equipment.

WASHINGTON (AI') In the absence of a Medicare prescription benefit for seni9rs, state governments that had been picking up the slack say their drug subsidy programs are now imperiled by the recession. About. half the 'states have some form of a prescription drug benefit program in place for low-income seniors. The. programs, many of which were born out of frustration with slow progress ori the federal level, generally require seniors to make some small payment - like a $6 copayment in Pennsylvania- to get ·prescriptions filled . But snags have developed in this lifeline for many of the nation's elderly. "A storm is brewing for prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries," said . 'Copter aash injures 14 WASHINGTON (AP)- Fourteen soldiers from the !OJ stAirborne Division were injured Monday in the crash of an Army helicopter in eastern. Afghanistan. There were. no fatalities, officials said. Army C<:>l. Frank Wiercinski, speaking for ·the !Olst jn Kandahar,Mghanistan, said ~4 soldiers were aboard the helicopter and 10 escaped injury. He said none of the injured was in danger of dying. The injured were flown to a medical facility at Baghrarn airport north.of Kabul, the Afghan capital.

Red lights flicker on every horizon, airplanes be" ware; cars flash by, more lights." What city was he describing? · At the bridge table, it is usually obvious to win a trick with the cheapest c~rd possible. · You are in three no-trump. West leads his fourth - highest h~art two away from the jack. How would you continue? Did West have a more successful lead? The best, the purest way to play in a notrump contract is to start by counting your top tricks : those you could, take innnediately that the opponents can do nothing about. Here, you I have seven: two spades~ three hearts and two clubs. To get two more tricks, your best chance is to hope that West. has the dia - · mond jack. llut . as 'you might need to lead diamonds three times from your nand, you should win trick one with the heart 10. Then play a diamond to dummy's eight. Let's assume East wins with the king and returns a heart. Win with your queen, play a diamond to dummy's nine, overtake the heart king with. your ·ace, and lead a third diamond. Here, the signs most satisfyingly proclaim that you made the contract. (If East has the courage to duck the first diamond, play a heart to your queen, and lead a diamond to dummy's nine.) A black-suit lead defeats the . contract because it denies declarer. the vital third entry to hand. But who would find that?

As a part of the Ohio Bicentennial observance, commemorative bell castingS will take place on site in each of Ohio's 88 counties as a signature event of the bicentennial year. Nicola Moretti, south~ east coordinator for the Ohio Bicentennial Commission, Was in Pomeroy on Tuesday_ to announce the date and place for the two-day event which will culminate with the ringing • ·'JU· o£ Meigs County's bell. .· . She said that the Bicentennial bells p·rovide a thematic tribute to the state's manufacturing and industrial roots, just as Bicentennial barns. a hallmark of the celebration, honor Ohio's agrarian heritage. . Bells were cast in seven counties in 2001, 41 more are scheduled for ihis year, and the final 40 in 2003. . The Cincinnati-based Verdin Compariy. in business since 1842 and the world's largest bell company, has provided bells and ringing equipment to more than 30,000 churches. The company is perhaps best known for creating arid casting the 33-ton, 12-foot-tall World Peace Bell for the millennium celebration. Verdin commissions include the famed "Big Ben" bell in London and the ·1804 San Juan Capistrano mission bells. According to Moretti, the commemorative bells are being- molded in the style of the Liberty Bell and. personalized with the county name, forging date, the Great Seal of Ohio and the Bicentennial logo. For use in creating the bells on site, Verdin has · assembled a "foundry on ~.~.· .· --v wheels'' consisting of 12,000 pounds of equipr ment moun.ted on a 40foot trailer. The production of each bell is ·an out-in-the-open, public event. Moretti said that an .area on the parking lot along Main Street across from The Fabric Shop has been designated for production of Meigs County's 250-pound, two-foot high, bell. A stage will be erected nearby for entert.1inment and speakers, she said. .......... Bell• .u CRASH INVESTIGATED - A GMC Jimmy driven by. Raymond F.
