"Men will little nole nor long remember what we say here ... " That quote from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.should have been given to each of our Congressmen ancl Congresswomen before the impeachment proceedings in Washington. Regardless of your individual feelings _about the process, there seems to be something very disturbing about the media circus that was billed as "our government in action." . For twelve long hours, members of both political Parties marched to their microphones to justify their impending votes on impeachment. A floor manager for each oppOsing view timed the oratorical discourse and then doled out (sorry Bcb!) fractional segments ofa minule as ifthey were precious <!iscoveries in a diamond mine. Speakers rose to the pinnacle of Shakespearean performance as they hurled insults back and forth across the House Chamber like hand grenades In a war zone. At times the subject at hand was o~ured by claims of upholding the "rule of law" or harassing the defendant "like a Salem witch hunter." I appreciate the strong f~elings that our representatives conveyed during this historic day (and night). I .also understand the vast differences of opin. ion that Mi. Qinton's conduct has generated; however, the Washington debate resembled an afternoon soap opera that was poorly written and directed. Speakers tantcd an raved about the country's future hanging in the balance and the nation watching for resolution to this SQrted tale of sleaze and infidelity. If you watched you saw fewer than 20 Congress persons in the building. What really seemed to be the object of the marathon speech eontest was a fleeting 30-60 minutes of fame on C-span for polit.icians who had been in Washington for centuries~ done little else to·gain notice. ~me piously claimed that the soldiers and sailors in the Iraq war zone wanted them to prove that our government was working for them (my guess is they were more worri«t about an airplane or a missile working for them at that particular moment.) The ghosts of American history probably shuddered as they were quoted by both sides of the heated debate. Some parts of he drama sounded like sermons, some like coronations, some like eulogies 11lt"5pme just sounded bad. • · Th'. overriding sentiment that came across my television was one of bitterness and even hatied in a strong· partisan fashion (from both "sides). We worry about kids watching bad thingS on TV. I guess we're lucky Congress w<;>rks weekdays. Now the process moves to the Senate where things can 'I get any worse (there are only one-fourth liS many to give a speech!). Sometimes in a weaker moment I dream of being rich and at the least making my bill collectors happy. Those are the times a lottery ticket appears to be very enticing. After watching the infamous debate, I think I' ll just buy a Congressman for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth and solve my financilll woes.

Russia, its superpower status gone, is showing signs. of a similar inferiority complex. • '' (Mexico) yoted against us . on many U.N. General Assembly resolutions that came along, and that 's what's going to h~ppen ·now with Russia in the_Security Coun- , cil," Baker id, " ... like pulling their . ambassador bac and all that., I think it's covering their politt backside domestically." · · In taking on the United States, Russia has fpund a freqilent ally in the Chinese, another . Security . Council member who loves to float wishes. France also · finds itself supporting Russia on issues like Iraq, where companies are eagerto· peddle arms in exchange for a . chunk of Saddam HusseiQ.;s massive oil reserves. The United States could hope that tlie membership of the . five-nation Security Coun~l might change, but our sources view that as highly unlikely. Fifty years ago, the five victorious powers o( World War II formed · the United Nations and invested in themselves veto power on any of the actions proposed by other countries of the world. The United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and China bec8rrtc the "Permanent · Five" members of the Security Council, which is also the only body that can initiate sanctions or military action like the Korean and Gulf wars. The two big losers, Germany and Japan, want a place at that table -- and might vote ·with the United States more often than anyone except Great Britain. But both countries are severaf years away from gaining permanent status. There are a dozen reasons )l'hy, but three stand out: . -, Beth Germany and Japan, having lost the war they initiated a half-century . ago, have stron~ anti -militarist traditions since then. Joining the Permanent Five would force them to 'participate in peac~keeping missions-- which, like those in il>snia; have _lhe potential to turn violent. . -- flleither France nor Britain would go without a struggle. Both countries have seen their economic and military influence wane greatly since World War II. They now represent the two most anachronistic seats.on the Council, and are seen as the most endangered. One plan making the rounds at the Unit- . ed Nations is to have one European Community (Eq seat; which c_ould be QCcupled by Germany, or two seats -- a German and an EC seat. That's galling to the Gaullists, who couldn 'I bear having either Germany or ~ Britain speak for them at the Security Councit. . -- No U.N. official or diplomat could foresee Including only Germany and Jaijan as new permanent members. It would mean amending the U.N. Charter, whi ch would cause other nations to push for permanent · status as well. India, Brazil and Nigeria all have •their hearts set on permanent status, and all come with heavy baggage. Pakistan would throw a fit if India were invited; Argentina wouldn't be happy about Brazil's inclusion; and most Africans wouldn't want ~ . Nigerian voice speaking for the entire continent. More likely is a compromise solution thatwould add a new tier to the Security Cooncit. The Permanent Five would remain· . u~changed, followed by a second tier of permanent members who would enjoy all the . rights of the first group except for veto power. Either way, i,! will be a long time before America on~ again has th'e allies on the Security Council to bplance an increasingly-·. belligerent -Russia. Copyright 1999,' United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

It Wll{l a remarkable year in athlet · ~ but certain players, coaches and teams stood · ~ve the rest of the pack. · r: There were many considerations for the best le].m of the year. In baseball the New York Yankees 4ohieved remarkable heights by winning 125 games and a world cham pi· . t;niship. Hockey gave us a second curtain call by the Detroit Red Wings. · Five basketball teams continued their dominance during the 1998 season. 'f!lese included the Chicago Bulls, the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, the Ken-· tiK:ky Wildcats, the Columbus Quest of the now defunct ABL, and the ~BA's Houston Comets. All of these tea.ms continued their champiohship • nlns by repeating as the best in their leagues. : In soccer, the French victory in the World Cup must also get some con· ~ideration-ln NASCAR, the Hendricks Racing Team conlinued to dominate . the racing circuit with its fourth consecutive Winston Cup championship, : It was a difficult choice, but I gave the team of the year to the Tennessee ~ l-ady Vols. They repeated as champions in the college game, and went unde· ~eated in the process. No other champion can make such a claim. , : For athlete of the year it was an easier task. Yes, there were many deserv(ng candidates. Brazil's Ronalda Luiz Nazario Je Lima was FILA's soccer • player of the year for the second consecutive season. · · ; Tennessee's Chamique Holdsclaw, Chicago's Michael Jordan, Chicago Cubs' outfielder Sammy Sosa, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, and Denver-'s . Terrell Davis all were deserving of the title of the top athlete of '98. , : The award must go to Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals. ~though he did not win the National League MVP in baseball, Big Mac has t>een chosen everyone's athlete of the year. His pursuit of the home run record captivated the nation. He established a new mark of 70 home runs in ;single season to break the record of 61 set by Roger Maris in 1961. : · His race with Sammy Sosa brought out the best in athletic competition. : : Choosing the coach of the year was an easier task than choosing the top athlete. Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman was considered along with Indiana Pacers coach Larry Bird. · • · The coach of the year must go to Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Sum.

That way. you preserve your . · abi lity to' roll your distribution (your : Rollover IRA ) into a new cqmpany · plan at a later date. · • Any non-cash assets thai are part · of the distribution can l>e put direct- : ly into an IRA Rollover account. For · example. if you receive shares of : your employer's stock, you don'l : have 10 se ll them in order to put thein · into an IRA Rollover. · · • You may take distril;lutions from · an IRA Rollover account at any · time. However, withdrawal s before · age 59- I/2 are subjecl to a premature distribution penalty, aside from a few exceptions (death. di sability, periodic payme nt s defined by ahe IRS, certain medical and medical insurance expenses, and qualified coll ege expenses.). . ·(Continued on 06) �\ _, - I I Pomeroy • MiddlePort • Galllpolla, OH • Point Pleaaant, WV • .J ~omeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Point Pleaaant, wv Sunday, January 3, 1999 Sunday, Jenu.ry 3, 1919 80 ANNOLm CFr,1UH'i and Homes Q & A: weal(ened: support spurs floor's sag Pallo 39'6' X 14' r ' T IH' Two-Story Living 20' X 17'2" Roxbu t y Gueat Suite 12' X 14'4' On Garage 22'8' X 4011" #:10- 1117 Open 'io Great Room ·- Malter Suite 14'2'x18'6' 0 Bonua Room 25'6" X 19' Dn Bedroom 14'4' X 13' Despite colonial exterior, _ R oxbury -interior is clearly contemporary Symmetry, columns, 'and key- throogh twin skylights, this e><pansive stone-accented arched windows give space is also exceptionally bright. the Roxbury •a distinctly colonial fla- The gas fireplace provides warmth vor_ But inside, this estate-size home and color when the weather ·turns is clearly contemporary. dark and cold.

"It was too much of an unknown with respect to how long you could operate." Last April, Detruit Edison, in a long,range decision, announced it would close its Fermi ll nuclear plant in 2025. when the 40-year license to operate the plant expires. The utility estimates that it will spend S3 ~illion in 2025 dollars to decommissi9n the plant it o,penc:;d in 1985. But more recently, some utilities and energy companies have decided to gamble that nuclear energy can survive - and flourish - under state deregulation and calls for environmental laws to counteract global ' warming. Most state ~regulation laws allow utilities to recover their huge investment in nuclear power - so called "stranded costs" - thus for9ing · rate payers to·continue paying for the plants in a tradeoff for lower electric rates. Public interest groups argue that rate reductions would he greater if stranded cost recovery were disal- . lowed. Two Ohio watchdog groups estimated stranded costs in just 11 states to be as much as $12 billion. But voters in California and Massachusetts, which were among the surveyed states, last month rejected .efforts to change deregulation laws. • So far, Baltimore Gas & Electric and Duke Energy of North Carolina are the onlr two companies to ask the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for 20-year extensions on their nuclear plant licenses. But others ar~ expected to follow. Forty-.<even ·l't"cent of utility executives in the -Unit~d States and nuclear power licenses will be renewed. compared to 30 percent who thought so last year, says a report, to be published Jan. 6 by the Washington International EneriJy Group, a forecasting firm. Meanwhile, two big energy companies ~ Philadelphia-based Peco Energy Co: and Entergy of New Orleans- are looking to buy nuclear plan.ts that investor-owned utilities want to unload . . Last July, Peco and its British part· ner bought a Three Mile Island reactor that wasn't damaged in the infamous 1978 accident. Last month, Entergy announced it . W!\5 buying Boston Edison's Pilgrim plant, a reacttr built in the early 1970s. Other candidates for purchase include Illinois Power's Clinton plant and Niagaia-Mohawk's Nine Mile Point plant in New Yorfc, say industry observers. · . " Peco and Entergy have said they think they can make money on those plants that are being sold essentially at cost ..- almost zero book value," said Roger Gale, president of Wash: ington International. In Illinois, Commonwealth Edison is selling its six coal-fired plants to raise $2 billion to $3 billion to repair its nuclear facilities. Six of CornEd's 12 nuclear reactors were shut down because of safety problems when Kingsley was hired in November of 1997 to turn things around, as he had done for. the Tennessee Valley Authority's nuclear plants the previous deca~~· TVA's plants are now among the hest in the country. · "There is no quest,ion that if operated well, nuclear power can compete," Kingsley said in an interview. , has made a good start on his vow to take CornEd's nuclear operation from the ba.~ment of the industry to a "world class performer." "If they ever had a chance to get better, this is it," said energy foreeasier Gale. But Gale believes CornEd will ,get out of the nuclear power business once the plants beconie saleable. Kingsley cites public statements by CornEd chairman John Rowe that the utility won't operate nuclear plants if it can't do so "well and economically." At · Zion, the thorny issues of decommissioning nuclear plants are evident. Inside the command center, where as many as six operators once monitored production, jUSf one now watches over the storage of high-level radioaclive fuel sublnerged in a huge pool of water. The DOE proposed If years ago to bury the nation's spent fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, but legislation approving the site became .a political hot potato in the West and died in Congress. DOE now says it can't implement its plan until 2010, though nuclear plants have contributed $15 million to a federal cleanup fund. Without a national disposal site, · radioactive waste will have to remain · at Zion and· other decommissioned plants. for some time.

White .House officials insist the program could be created without touching a dime of the federal budget surplus, which Clinfon has pledged to reserve for · shoring up Social Security. The tax credits will not overburden spending limits in the budget, White House budget director Jack Lew said Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition." "This year's budget will be consistent with l~t year's," Lew said, and all tax cuts would be accounted for when the overall plan is completed in several weeks. The five-year, $S.S billion cost of the tax credit would be covered by closing "corporate 'welfare" loopholes in the existing tax code, a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said earlier. The other three prongs are meant to be worked· into the fisc~! 2000 budget within existing ·discretionary spending limits. "The president has to make choices about his priorities, and this is one of them. It will not come our of the surplus," the official said.

That population is growing as the baby boom generation nears retirement. . • By 2030, the number of Americans age 8S and older - nearly. half of whom need assistance with . daily activities·- will jump from 4 million to 8.4 million. · . .
