(AP) - If the West Virginia Public Port Authority and a host ·of other advocates have their way, air travel in the most populous part of the state will become a different world in the next decade. After more than 10 years of discussions and study, the authority voted Wednesday to build a $330 million regional airport between Huntington and Charleston. The planned airport is designed to be a key economic development tool for a rural state plagued by declining population and a slumping economy. It also would mean a much smaller role for existing airports in those cities. Although the authority's vote finally gets the project rolling, even supporters acknowledge the work is just beginning. "We're not building an airport tomorrow," said LoweU Johnson, assistant secretary of ports and the head of the project. "We're not building it next year." Supporters argue the new airport would .

Huffy disposing scooter stock Justices side with paper COLUMBUS (AP) - The Ohio Supreme Court on Wtdnesday ordered Hamilton County and contractors to release documents to a newspaper about ct"t overruns during the sales tax-funded construction of the Cincinnati Bengals' football stadium. The ruling upholds the 1st Ohio District Court of Appeals' decision that the documents are public record because they involve a large public expense even though they might be in the hands of the private companies Hamilton County hired to build Pap! Brown Stadium. "Governmental entities cannot conceal information concerning public duties by delegating these duties to a private entity," the court wrote in its opinion. "The public had a legitimat~ need to know whether the publicly funded project was proceeding as planned and the reasons for cost overruns, if any. in the project." The 6-0 decision means the county must give the records to The Cincinnati Enquirer and reimburse the newspaper for nearly $10,000 in legal fees. Justice Alice Robie Resnick did not participate. She did not say why.

Bush is clearly right on this issue: The ABM Treaty is a relic of the Cold War and a MAD relationship with the Soviet Union. It iS obsolete. He is also right in saying that the United States should be able to protect itself against missile attacks by "rogue states" such as Iraq, Iran and North Korea.

WASHINGTON TODAY Iraqi difector looks for help in changing his homeland BY GEORGE 0EDDA WASHINGTON - Najib al-Salhi is not prone co ambiguities when he talks about Saddam Hussein. "Saddam is Cf?.ZY," the former Iraqi Army genernl said the other day as he discussed his 23year quest to depose the Iraqi president. For 17 of those years he did so clandestincly, from within the military inside Iraq. For the past five years he has operated from the outside, fim in Jordan, now in a Virginia suhurb ofWashington. During the interview, ai-Salhi spoke matter-of-factly about mass ' graves outside Baghdad where he said remains of Saddam's suspected opponents lie. He also recalled the poison gas used agaimt an Iraqi Kurdish village in 1988; the tanks that he said were sent in to crush remains of those killed as anti-Saddam uprisings were suppressed. Beyond that, he said, Saddam terrorizes military officets into obedience by having agents kidnap and rape relatives, then sending videotapes of the attacks back to the officers. Torture of officers' fathers and mothers is not unusual, he says. AI-Salhi, 49, has no doubt his - own family in Iraq has been subjected to such treatment. "I try nqt to think about it," h~ said, speaking through an interpreter. "I don't want to create obstacles to my work. We have to mJke sacri.tict-s to get to our goals," . Al-Salhi, who held the rank of statr general before deserting and who boasts a string of degrees, is founder and general secretary of the Movement of Free Offi~ers, which he said maintains clandestine contacts with dissident officers inside Iraq. The goal is to bring political change in Iraq and explore possibilities for a coup d'etat. The group also publishes articles in anti-Saddam journals outside Iraq and · keeps in touch with a range of Iraqi dissident groups. · A book al-Salhi wrote about Saddam's repression of Shiites in, southern Iraq was translated to English by the State Department. He 100ntended the death toll from that campaign is in the 250,000 range. To the delight of ai-Salhi and his allies, the constituency in _the United States for raking action against Iraq oppcars to be stronger now than at any time since the end of the GulfWar more than 10 years ago. It has been stimularcd in large measure by the success of U.S. forces in blosting the Taliban regime in Afghanistan om of power. Referring to Iraq, President Bush said recently that countries that develop weapons of mass destruction intended for terrorist purposes "will he held accountable." A bipartisan group ofl l'adi n~ l ll l'!llh~·r, of Congress urged llush two wc·cb .tgo ' . to take decisive action against Iraq because the threat tram that country "cannot be permanently contained." Skeptics warn that the Afghanistan model cannot be dupijcated easily in Iraq. They point out that there is no equivalent in Iraq to Afghanistan's northern alliance, a vi tal element in the defeat the Taliban. The Iraqi military also is much larger and better equipped than th e Taliban tmliti a. Beyond that, if the United States takes ·on Iraq, it would not have nearly the international support it has enjoyed in the Afghan campaign. Retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni, former commander of the U.S. Central Command and now a Middle East envoy, is another skeptic. He wrote shortly before his retireiilent last yearthat the $97 million in military support that Congress has appropriated for use by Iraqi rebels won't get the job done. "What-will we have?" he asked. "A Bay of Goats, 11101t likely." Al-Salhi said the naysayers fail to consider the vlllnerobili ty of the Iraqi regime after decades of unabated repression. "My work ·is to convince U.S. officials we have to get this job done," he said. "Th e lr.tq i pm pl c are waiting for U.S. dli11 h to ~~'-'I nd of S:1ddam."

(AP) - Millie Benson's desk doesn't stand out from any others in the newsroom. Tucked away in a .corner, it's cluttered with ;papers an·d books. : The original author of the :Nancy Drew mystery books, :now at age 96, is still writing ' - now a weekly column about everyday life and older •:folks for The Blade newspaper. • "Writing is a way of life for !me;' she said. "It's like getting :up and having breakfast." Benson has written more :han 130 books and countless jhort stories and newspaper )irticles. She is best known for ~ringing to life a young sleuth )lamed Nancy Drew who )nspired and captivated gener:ttions of girls. She wrote 23 of the 30 original Nancy Drew stories ousing the pseudonym Carolyn Keene, launching a series that iis still in print and has sold ever 200 million books in 17 ~anguages. , "I always knew the series !would be successful," Benson b;aid. ! "I just never expected it to :he the blockbuster that it has l\Jeen;· she said. ''I'm glad that I jhad that much influence on jpeople." j Edward Stratrmeyer, the tfamed book publisher behind •Nancy Drew, the Bobbsey hwins and Hardy Boys, askl!d lB_enson in 1930 to write the !Nancy Drew books based on ltwo- page plot outlines he had lwritten. ! She already wrote three :books for his publishing syn:dicate. • That year sh'e wrote "The !secret of the Old Clock," in !which Nancy stops a gang of !thieves and discovers an inher:itance. in an antique clock. "It's pretty much fair to say she created the character of Nancy Drew," said Carolyn Dyer, a University of Iowa journalism professor who wrote a book about the series. The world never knew Benson was the.writer behind the early stories until 1980 when she testified in a court case involving Nancy Drew's publisher and the rights to the series and other books. Benson had signed a secrecy contract and was paid Sl25 per book. She's never collected royalties from the books, movies and board games. "I make no profit liom anything in ·connection with it," Benson said. "And I didn't make anything when I wrote." Still, she is not bitter. "It was my contribution to the children of America," she said. Benson began writing while growing up in Ladora, Iowa. "I always wanted to be a· writer from the time I could walk," she ;aid. "I had no'other thought except that I wanted to write." She wrote children's stories when she was in grade school. Her first story sold for $2.50 to a religiou• magazine. And she was the first person to receive a master's degree in journalism at the University of Iowa, according to the school. "I wrote steadily aU my life from the time I was 14 years of age;' she said. "I wrote books from the time' I was in early college." From 1930 to 1953 she turned out 130 books for Young people, including the Penny Parker mystery series. "Writing is hard work," she said. "I don't have any favorite type writing. It's what you do for work." She's engaging and witty and admittedly opinionated. She's. a passionate worker and has only taken three or four sick days during her 56-year newspaper career. "She has built a reputation as an outstanding journalist as well as an author," said Ron Royhab, The Blade's executive editor. "Millie has a work ethic that would be a stanJard for anybody." The slight, white-haired writer said she's been interviewed countless times, sighing that she tires of the same questions. "There isn't anything that isn't known about me," Benson said. She would rather avoid aU the attention. She still receives fan mail eaclt day. Collectors send boxes of bOoks for her. to sign. But she can't reply personally and sends a 'form letter thanking them for writing. "Mostly they want autographs," she said. "They're autograph mad. They all say the same thing: 'I loved your stories and I read almost every book."' Benson said she remembers receiving only two or three critical notes. "The ones who hated it probably didn't write to me;' she said. In a way, she's a lot like the character she made . famous. And her passions, have not been limited to writing. She loved swimming and diving years ago - especially high-diving. She remembers jumping from bridges into the Iowa River during her college days. " I almost hit a log once," she said with a laugh. 1iltJerJJ LAST 4 DAYS! TIME IS RUN I G0 PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) Pakistani forces on Thursday battled escaped Mghan war prisoners, most' ly Arabs from the al-Qaida network, who overpowered their guards and . sprinted for freedom. At least six , guards and as many as 12 fighters •· were dead in the two-day insurrec; tion. ' Residents of the town of Parachi~ nar said Pakistani security officers clashed early Thursday with 20 , escaped Arabs, killing two of them. The reports could not be in4epen- dently verified because police blocked all roads to Parachinar. Government officials in the remote tribal region and in the capital, Islamabad, refused to comment Thursday. The government said prisoners commandeered a bus that was transferring them to a larger prison in Peshawar on Wednesday, but lost control and overturned the vehicle. Seven Arabs died in the struggle, and all six guards we"' killed, it said. Three more Arabs later died of their wounds, the Pakistani news ~gency WASHINGTON (AP) '• Lying in a hospital bed, ' cringing. from the pain of a ; gunshot wound, American • Tali ban John Walker Lindh said he had served with a , group of Arab fighters financed by Osama bin 1 Laden. · , He also said he had attend~ ed a training camp run by bin : Laden, the wealthy Saudi• born fugitive accused of mas' terminding the September attacks on the United States. Lindh told his story in an interview done Dec. 2 by a CNN reporter, just after Lindh was captured. It was aired in its entirety for 'the first time Wednesday. Lindh, from San Anselmo, Calif., said leaders of the Afghanistan's once~dominant Taliban militia organized fighters in branches based on ethnic groups. At first, Lindh stayed with Taliban fighters from Pakistan, where he had been studying Islam. He then was put with the group of Arab fighters - the Ansarwho were 'paid- for by - bin Laden. Lindh can speak Arabic. "Originally I came with Pakistanis," Lindh said. "They sent me to the Arabs." What Lindh did while traveling with Taliban fighters in Afghanistan could play a key role in the charges he might face in the United States. In the TV interview, Lindh, 20, defended the Tali ban, who took power in Afghanistan in 1995 after a bloody civil war tions. WASHINGTON (AP) The anthrax investigation is focused on fewer than a dozen laboratories that have worked with the deadly bacteria, federal officials say, and investigators are working to identify the genetic fingerprints of the anthrax held at each of them. The goal is to match the anthrax used in the attacks with the anthrax on hand at each lab in hopes of finding the lab that produced it. But scientists '-'Y they don't yet know enough about the genetic makeup of anthrax to distinguish one sample from the next. "It's a race against time to get enough genetic information to make these matches precisely." said Jill Trewhella, bioscience division leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is assisting in the genetic fingerprinting.

They were driven out of cave hide-outs in the Tora Bora region after weeks of unrelenting U.S. bombing and ground attacks by tribal Afghan fighters backed by U.S. and British special forces.

An insurance industry study being released Thursday says mch tactics make drivers more likely to wear seat belts. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety wants more automakers to install such reminders. • For the study, people were observed driving into Ford dealerships for service. Seventy-six percent of drivers in vehicles with the system wore a seat belt, compared with 71 l'ercent in those without it. A 5 percent difference in seat belt usage - expanded to include the entire U.S. driving population - would save about 700 lives a year, according to Alan Williams, the chief scientist at the institute and author of the study. · WHEATON, Ill. {AP) - A mother who fed her three children drug-laced peanut butter then smothered them in their•beds now faces the death penalty after a jury convicted her of first-degree murper., Marilyn Lemak's lawyers were unsuccessful in convincing the)ury that she was insane when she committed the 1999. slayings.

With the Bengah (4-9) getting ready for their rematch Sunday in Baltimore, Spikes said he's expecting another big game against the Super Bowl champions. "The last I checked, we're 1-0 against the Baltimore Ravens;• Spikes said. Spikes didn't say much last week when he was indirectly drawn into a controversy between the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis, who suggested that Spikes is as good as Lewis. Lewis was enraged and Sharpe belittled Spikes, who is ,one of his offieason workout partners. "That's like saying, 'Dude, Where's My Car?' is just as good as 'Titanic.' At some point in time, you've got to be realistic," Sharpe said. "I don't mean no disrespect to Takeo because Takeo Spikes is a great football player, but he's not Ray Lewis. Let's not fool ourselves.'' Spikes said Wednesday that he doesn't have anything against Lewis, but he considered Sharpe's remark to be an insult . "T~e thing that really got me going was his sidekick, Shannon Sharpe," Spikes said. "He's nothing but a cheer- leader. That's what he does best - he cheerlead&.'' The exchange between the Steelers and the Ravens set the tone for Pittsburgh's 26-21 victory Sunday night that clinched the AFC Central title for the Steelers. Spikes quietly fumed about ihe Ravens' comment>- until Wednesday. "They were making statements about Jerome must have been insane when he said that, that he must have had a concussion or something," Spikes said. "But we're ·1-0 (against Baltimore). They must be insane. They've got a lot to prove." The Bengals usually don't get involved in pregame trash talking - as the NFL's worst team since 1991, they don't have much room to boast. But something about the Ravens (8-5) brings it out of them. Quarterback Jon Kitna had face-toface exchanges with the Ravens on the field during the game in Cincinnati on Sept. 23. Spikes rubbed it in afterward, saying that quarterback Elvis Grbac signed with Baltimore instead of Cincinnati in the offseason because he thought he had a better chance of winning there. Asked Wednesday whether he was looking forward to another game against Grbac, Spikes smiled and said, "Oh, yeah, absolutely. Elvis is my man." Bengals linebacker Brian Simmons said it's understandable that Spikes was upset by the Ravens' comments. "As far as Takeo, ifl was him, I would have taken it as an insult, too," Simmons said.

Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett met with the county commissioner< during their regular meeting Thur<day to discuss the project. Bids will be sought for the project and construction could begin as early as January, Triplett said. The 5200,000 project involves the replacement of the existing bridge on Coun- ty Road 24 near Ohio 7 with a new single-span concretebeam structure. It will be paid for through the Issue II program. Traffic will be re-routed across several nearby county and township roads, Triplett · said. Triplett also recomme.nded vacating two county roads in Scipio and Rutland townships. Public viewings and hearings on the vacating of a half mile of Pageville Road in Scipio and four-tenths of a mile of Hutton Road in Rutland will be held on Dec. 27.

WASHINGTON (AP) Dozens of cities and towns contend the Census Bureau counted people in prisons and college dormitories at wrong addresses - sometimes miles away- and shortchanged the communities of government dollar< ·doled out on the basis of population. About 85 communities across the country have challenged their 2000 census counts, claiming discrepancies over"group quarter<" housing - buildings such as prisons and nur<ing homes that house large populations. Most demographers say government headcounters indeed tallied the right number of people at these loca-. tions, but placed them at the wrong addresses. For instance, about 1,000 ·inmates housed at a Marquette, Mich ., prison were incorreccly placed by the census into another facility 10 miles away, said Ken Darga, the Michigan state demographer. Because Michigan state taX revenue sharing formulas depend on population counts, the mistake could cost the city about $120,000 a year if it's not fixed, city manager Gerald Peter<on said Thur<day. "If there's one group of people you better know where trey are, it is prisoners," Peterson said. Many of the complaints canting into the bureau's "Count Question Resolution Program" are simpler in nature, said program head Robert Rinaldi. For example, a dormitory that sits on one side of a street that se~ as a boundary between two towns may have been mistakenly counted on the opposite side.
