I,

Oliver D. Kingsley. Jr., CornEd's
nuclear power chief. "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 &amp; 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-.&lt;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.
Meanwhile, the Zion plant musi

tration will ·need to persuade a Republican-controlled
Congress, with its own ideas for tax cuts and. health
reform, to approve the long-term care programs as
well as the money to pay for them .
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.
According to White House estimates, the $1,000

c~re\

tax Ct:$dit, which phases out at Sq,o,ooo for upper•
income couples and at $75,000 for unmarried taxpay.
crs, will be available to about 2 million Americans:
The grant program is expected to serve some 250,000
families pationwide. ,
More than 5 million Americans need long-term care
due to chronic or serious illness, disability or sim~le
old age. 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.
· .
.
Health polic~ experts have long advocated' govern- ·
ment help for stressed-out family caregivers' as a way
of avoiding expensive nursing homes.
Even before the formal announcement, Clinton'~
proposal was endorsed by the Alzheimer's Associalion, which said the plan "gives powerful recognition
to the role that family caregivers play in providing
long-term care in this country."
'
-,
Family members provide at least 70 percent of the&gt;
care to patients wjth Alzheimer's, a memory-robbing,
fatal disease, said Stephen McConnell, the assocj,a~

British consulate
··in Cleveland to close

'

CLEVELAND (AP)- It won't be as dramatic as their departure from
India - or even Hong Kong- but one day m 1999 or early 2000, British
diplomats wilt lower the Un1on Jack a linalttme and quietly leave ... Oeveland.
The United Kingdom plans to close its six-person consulate in downtown
Cleveland sometime between Apnl 1999 and April 2000 and move Jts operations to Chicago, according to the Bntish Foreign and Commonwealth
Office.
~
.&amp;
•
When the British close their only diplomatic office in Ohio, 11 will mark
the first time since 1909 that the Umted Kmgdom has not mamtamed an
official presence here.
The consulate, whtch covers both Ohio and Michigan, helps fac1htate
connections for British compames domg business here and also provides
visa services and promotes Bntish culture. About 30 British companies
employ roughly 7,600 workers in the Cleveland area, according to the World
Trade Center Cleveland
The announcement of the move has rankled some local congressional
representatives, who have asked that the British government appomt an honorary consular for Cleveland who could work part-t1me to mamta1n ties
between Bntam and local businesses.
"At a time when Cleveland and northeast Oh10 are gomg through an ceo' nom1c revitalization, Britam and its economy stand to grow as fast as Cleveland's economy grows," sa1d U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from
nearby Loram. "It doesn't make sense for Britain to sever its mrun business
and cultural IJe with the Cleveland community."
Cleveland's office JS the vJctim of a worldwide reshuffling of the
Britain's foreign dtplomatic posts, according to Foreign Office spokeswoman in London. The spokeswoman refused to gJV.e her name for publication, saymg it was against Foreign Offioe pohcy.
Oeveland is one of five cities around the globe where Bntish consulates
,
\ are slated for closure. Among the other CJti.es on the hst are Sev11le, Spam,
"
; and Pusan, Siluth Korea
_ Meanwhile, Bntain plpns to open eight new offices in China, Japan, west
Afnca, the Canbbean and Pac1f1c regtons.
· "The critena for closure mcludes a range of factors - polttJcal, eco"nomtc, commerctal and consular- but the key to all of that JS how we can
most effectively spend our mane)&lt;." the Foietgn Office s~keswoman sa1d
" Where Oeveland is conoerned, It's more cost-effective to cover from
· remforced post JD Chtcago rather than mamtaJQ the two posts." •
A specific date for closure of the Oeveland office hasn't been set but it
will be m Bntain's fiscal 1999-2000 year
Brown spoke with S1t Chnstopher Meyer, the British ambassador to the
· United States, earlier in December to ask tha\ an honorary consular be
appointed for Cleveland He and mne other members of Congress also
"mailed a letter to Meyer makmg the same request.
Brown said 24 other countries have honorary consulars in Cleveland. So
far, there's been no answer from the British government.
"An honorary consular would keep an important resource for business
·• people m Cleveland and the region," he sat d. II would also keep the Umon
, Jack flying in Ohio.

Monica aside

The Clinton legacy
By Nllt Henton
As the House passed the
two articles of impeachment,
the criers of "Coup d'etat! "
and "Sexual McCarthyism!"
somehow failed to mention
that Wilham Jefferson Dinton is, in addition, a senal
violator of the Bill of Rights,
among other parts of the Con·
stJtution
•
These other attacks on the Constitution are not
impeach-hie offenses because the Framers could
not have imagined them.
For example, the president has not been so distracted by the exposure of his cover-up of the
Lewinsky matter as to forgo a raid
on the Fourth Amendment
~
, On 0ct. 20, 1998, he stgned~he
Intelligence AuthorizatiOn Act for
Fiscal Year 1999, which has a revision for roving wiretaps A law
permitting rovmg wiretaps has
been the ardent desire of FBI director Louis Frech and the prestdent,
but, the rovi ng-wiretap language
did not appear in either version of
the Intelligence Authorization btU
that passed the House aod Senate.
That language was quietly
shpped mto the conference report
by Rep. Bfll McCollum (R-Fia ) It
has become the law of the land
wJthout hearmgs or public debate.
So much for the people's democratic process -- a mantra mtoned
these days by the president's protectors.
The Fourth Amendment came
mto being because the Framers
were still smarting from the abuse
of the general search warrants used .
by British customs officers to
search Colonial homes and businesses at wtll. And that's why the
Fourth Amendment requires lawenforcement agents to get a warrant, based on probable cause of
,
crimmal activ1ty, that must " partlculatly describe
the place to .be searched or the persons or thmgs
to be set zed."
A Wltetap JS a search and seizure of communications on a targeted phone. Since 1986, a very
limited multipomt wiretap has been permitted 1f
the target shows a clear intent to evade a conventional wiretap. Under the new Ointon law, a spectfic intent is no longer required. Now the person
subJect to a rovmg wiretap will be followed, and
ALL telephones to which he is " reasonably proximate" will be tapped.

The ACLU, which led the fight against this
offense to the Constitution, points out that this
includes telephones in the private restdences of a
subject's friends, neighbors and business associ·
ates.
Under the new law, the FBI may listen to a
phone even if the owner of the phone or his farn·
ily -- and not the target of the investigation -- is
using 11.
In t997,~ach time a federal or state electron·
ic-surveillance operation was perfomied, an average of 2,081 conversations by I 97 persons were
mtercepted (as cited by the administrative office
of the United State Court).
The president's attack on the Fourth Amendment is the latest episode in the long history of his

History offers a path out of this

knew great ideals and values define

WASHINGTON - J C. Watts

years on this earth.
When he was growing up m
Eufala, Okla., he had to sit in the
balcony of the locat movie house
with the other black kids, so wh1te
childrJ=n could occupy the good
seats below. He coull,ln't swim in the
pubhc swimming pool because 11
didn't adm1t his kind. Not long after
his election to Congress two years
ago, he was rousted by a half-dozen
cops in Norman, Okla., because they
were suspicious of a black guy dtJving a nice car in broad daylight
Yet of all the msults he has borne,
none annoys Watts more than the
charge that Republicans used h1m as

Here is the most elementary rea·
son for ducking at trick one.
In three no-(rump, South receives
the heart:king lead from West.
Declarer has six top tricks: two
spades, one heart and three diamonds; The other three triclr.s. will ..
have to come from clulis. Yet there is
a locust in the lubricant. The defend·
ers have struck at South's weakest
ptlint: h~arts. Once the heart ace is
out of the way, when the defenders
get in with the club ace, they may
cash a fatal number of heart tricks.
As you can see, that will happen
if South wins either the first heart
trick or the second. But if he holds up
until the third round, when East
takes a trick with his club ace, he
doesn'Lhave. another heart to lead.
Declarer gel&lt; home with an overtrick.

·Meigs County Cojnmis(on attempts
to hammer out county's 1999 budget
Meigs County's ~ hree Democratic county
commissioners spent their regular meeting time
crunching figures on Mond'ay.

The board, meeting for. the first time with
Mick Davenport seated at the table, expected td'•

. bEfore the end of the day, but were stil_l checking
figures at presstime today.
• The budget process involves ,appropriating
nearly $3.5 mi!Uon of general fund revenue into
the budgejs of county ·offices, including the
sheri(f's office, courthouse · offices, and other
basic county operations.

..
County Commissioner Jcffr.-y Thornton said
that the board began their work with a projected
deficit of $200,000, half of what was requeitcd .
by county officeholders and department heads in
Olid-1998.

to the board yesterday. .
That figure represents $100,000 in proceeds
from the county's investment program, which
Frank earlier urged the board to usc for debt
retirement, an additional $30,000 in anticipated
sales tax proceeds (from· the county's existing
sales tax) and S-22,000 in anticipated proceeds
from taxes collected by the county auto title
office.
A remaining $48,000 was Ic(t for the board
to shave from the budgets of individual coun'ty
offices.

Thornton said that the commissioners based
,their departmental appropriations on last year's
expenpitures in each office, rather than the
requests of office holders and department
heads.

Jeffrey Crisler of the FPA-met with Middleport
Village Council 10 discuss the existence of tricholoroethylcne and the danger to village residents.
At the time, Crisler said that· there was no need
for alarm, but said that the existence of any VOCs
in a public water system was cause for concern.
The maximum allowable level of trichloroethyelene is 5 ml/g, and drinking water showing that a
level of 5 ml/g or higher is deemed hazardous,
Crisler said Monday that he is "very surprised"
that the level of trichlorotheylcne had decreased.so
significantly, saying that VOCs generally remain in
a water supply indefinitely, although gradual
reduttions or increases are not uncommon.
'I'm smprised that the test shows that (trichlorocthylene) is not there, but it's possible that the levels have
dissipated," Crisler said. "I hope it's accurate."
Oisler said that while "anything is possible," he
would be less surprised to see a level ()f 2 ml/g, or
even 1 ml/g, rather than l}le undetectable level

shown inTCCI's report
Crisler said that he plans a trip to Middleport thi~
week_to perform a drinking water survey, and thai
he will look more closely at the methods used to
collect the sample that TCCI tested.
The method of collection is a "very important
consideration," Crisler said, because any errol'!l:

According to the Ohio EPA, water samples
should be_collected directly from the well, while it ·
is pumping. A TCCI spokesman said Monday that
the firm's . route. driver collected tbe sample at the
well, but did not have other details available.
· A spokespel'!lon for the Middleport Water
Department said Tuesday that Village Supervisor
Brent Manley ' had supervised the collection.of the
water sample tested by TCCI, and thai the TCCI test
results confirmed results of !CSts performed by a second Independent laboratory and the EPA. All three
tests were performed within days of e&lt;K;h other, the
spokesperson said:
