"We have to look at a multitude of causes and their interactions," Wessely said. The researchers also found that hazards of war- rimgin'g from using pestic ides and seeing dead bodies 10 getting diesel fuel on your skin - were linked to more symptoms, regardless of whether the men had served' in the Gulf or somewhere else. . ·Auoc:tatecl Prell Wrltllr LONDON - Persian Gulf War veterans have a rate of general ill health :at least twice as high as forces who stayed home or were sent to Bosnia, :according to a new study of British troops. · The Lancet, a British medical journal, published a study this week that :confirms what previously has been reported in studies of U.S. and Canadi;an veterans- that while no definable disease could be found, going to the .Persian Gulf in 1991 affected troops' health. : The study of 8,195 soldiers. sailors and pilots- the first to compare Gulf :war veterans with troops who served in another hazardous conflict around :the same time ~ is the largest of symptoms to date. . · The men, half of whom had retired from the military, filled out ques· : tionnaires about their current health. . They all reported a variety of 59 ailments, including chronic fatigue, hair ·loss, rashes, headaches, joint pain, memory loss, heart-problems and nervous :system disorders. . There was hardly anydifference between the Bosnia troops and men who ·served at the time of the Gulf War but were not deployed. · 'Regardless of the ailment, however, vets who served in the .Persian Gulf The study did find a slight increase in ill health in those who had vaccines against biological threats such as anthrax or plague.

"We feel we can fly to a number of destinations safely," WFP ' country representative Francesco Streppoli said. The first flights left the capital, Luanda, on Wednesday. He said the United Nations Humanitarian Assistance Unit was in "active negotiations" with the government and rebels to ensure the safety of aid flights. "Our distribution plan is known (by both sides). Our flight plans too, " Streppoli told reporters. Two cargo' planes chartered by the United Nations crashed, possibly after being fired on, shortly . after they took off from the central highland city of Huambo on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2. The United Nations had given the flight plans of the planes 10 both sides. Twenty-three people were on board the aircraft and no survivors have been found. The WFP said it has no immediate plans to fly to Huainbo, 300 miles southeast of Luanda, or to other. central highland cities that have been a focus of fighting. Today, government ar.my troops battled UNITA rebels in Huarnbo's perimeter, aiming to secure their grip on the key city where thousands of displaced people have poured in from rural villages. The private Radio Eclesia reported that 17 people were killed and 16 were wounded when their truck hit a mine near Gorigoayinga, abo.ut ro miles from Huambo. Thousands of people have fled to inland cities to escape intense fighting between the government . and UNITA rebels who returned to war last month, shattering 1he U.N.-brokered 1994 peace accord. Streppoli said there were m.ore than 700,000 newly displaced people in the country. Planes flew food and WFP staff from Luanda to six cities in eastern and northeastern Angola .on Wednesday, he said, No fightinz was reported in those cities and the operations went smoothly. Food stocks in some war-battered cities have "dwindled to dangerously low . levels," said Streppoli. · Civil war first broke out in Angola after its 1975 independence from PortugaL A 1991 peace deal collapsed the following year an~ a new accord was signed three years later. \ costs;. choice 1fhether they want dairy prod- : ucts from cows that were not inject- :· ed with the hormone, he said.. :; Robert Cropp, an assistant pro- ; fessor of the University of Wisconsin_: Extension, said the Canadian acuon · might prompt legis.lative efforts to ' restrict BGH use. · .

The minutes of the meeting state the following: ·"Harold Montgomery entertained a motion to approve the following agreement with all local grocery stores to provide Christmas turkeys for all County Employees for 1998."

MEARS AP S]11CI81 Correaponctant - WASHif\!GT()N (AP) - As always, President Clinton's own line of impeachment defense was that he is doing the job he was elected to do, and that the Senate irial won't dis· tract him from it. But Hou'!" prosecutors argue he can't perform effectively, questioning whether anybody can believe anything he says. That argument is political, not one of constitutional standards, precedents or legalities. And polls show Americans are ·on Clinton's side, as they have been for a scan· dal·woni year. His job approval rat· ings are still 60 percent and up, even as opening arguments begin in his impeachment trial. The aim of the Republican prose· cutors is to counter the claim that their perjury and obstruction of jus· tice case is about ·the private, per· sonal misbehavior of the president, not cOnduct affecting his office. That was repeated in the trial brief the White House filed on Wednesday, denying the charges Clinton's lawyers said would in any event not warrant impeachment. " If the Senate removes this president for a wrongful relationship he hoped to keep private, for what will the House lllik the Senate to remove the next president and the next?" the inextricably bound to the w~lfare of the people of the United States," the defense preview said.

One of the village's earliest · brick buildings was the spacious three-story structure which dominated the corner of Sycamore and Main Streets for more than eight decades . It was built there by' Dr. Richard Owen in the 1890's not long after he came to Pomeroy to practice medicine. Members of his\tamily lived in the building for more than 7 5 years. , In 1971 it, was purcha sed by Mr. and Mrs. William Witte , later sold to Jay Hall , and soon after that torn down . ·or. Owen, a native of North Wales, developed a busy :medical practice in Pomeroy. • He also gained promin'e nce as the Peacock Coal Mine doctor and as medical e~aminer for the Western and Southern Life Insurance Co. and the National Frater1 • nal Union, both of Cincinnati. The doctor and his wife, Uda Sarah Spenc.er Owen, were the parents qf Maude Owen Crow and grandparents of the late Fred Crow, who practiced law in Pomeroy for many years. In material written by Fred Crow many years ago, he· said that from 1915 to 1971 when hi s mother died, some member of the Crow family had always tesided in the building.

GALLIPOLIS · After months of collecting, soliciting, and giving, the Gallia Academy Key Club's Toy Town "Plus" project is complete. The community servive project car· ried out by I 05 members and one advisor, distributed used clothing, toys, gloves, books, and food baskets to over 2,500 Gallia County residents. 'The clothing drive which took place on December 4 and 5, distributed over 5,000 articles of used clothing to 217 families throughout the county. Leftover articles of clothing were donated to Goodwi II. the Veterans of Foreign Wars donated the use of their building for the club to use as headquaners for the community service project Earlier in December, the club held a "WARM FUZZY:' drive in which classrooms brought in new gloves, mittens, or .toboggans. The classroom bringing in the most number of items was awarded .a breakfapt of donuts and mtlk. In addtllon, radio station New Magic 101 did a live broadcast in the winning classroom. On the first day of distri)?ution, Key Club members handed out a total of 917-toys and 409 food baskets. In addition to the toys and food · baskets, club members distributed new gloves, mittens, or toboggans to children .and adults, and books to individuals. On the second day two of distribution, the Key Club distributed 346 toys and 198 food baskets. The total number of people receiving· ,help from the club was 2831. The club provided a total of 1263 toys and Montgomery Ward closes 39 stores and slashes about 4,000 jobs nationwide NEW YORK (APJ- Montgomery Ward & Co.

The Chicago-based company said late Friday it will also close 17 Auto Express locations, but the stores adjacent to them will remain open. Ward 's plans additional layoffs of administrative staff at its headquarters in the next few weeks. The layoffs represent about 9 per_cent of its work force of 45 ,000. Ward's will have 252 stores after the closings. The 127-year-o)d. privatelyowned retailer has been operating under Chapter II bankruptcy reorganization since July 1997. The closings, which are nationwide and are e~pected to be completed by May 31, are subject to bankruptcy court approvaL It has lost business to disco unt chains, including Wai-Man, Target and Kman, which attract consumers with their wide range of merchandise at affordable prices.

In addition to these foOd baskets, food pantries were replenished at the Nazarene Church, Children's Home , and Senior Citizen's Center. Baskets were. also given to 25 bus families attending the Nazarene Church. Tbe club obtained over 38,000 pounds of food for their . drive , thanks to the effors of Rockwell Automation. All employees at the plant held numerous money making activities thai raised a total of over $1 0,300 .. The money was used to purchase the food for the drive. The food was picked up by Key Club · members on DccembeJ I 0, and delivered in three sem.i trailer load s, donated by CC CaldwelL Food was also collected from area 'elementary schools for the food drive. The Key Club rewarded each winning classroom from the three city elementary schools collecting the mo'st food with a pizza pany. The club received more than $13,000 in contributions to buy the amount of presents requested by less fortunate families of Gallia County. The club spent every evening for one week purchasing the toys, books, and numerous other items. Club members, \vith _the additional help of parents, Rockwell employees, Kiwanians, Vete<ans and ladies from the Auxiliary, took three evenings to wrap the 1200 plus pre-' sents. Money left over froin the toy! was used to purchase extra gloves and mittens; pajamas and gowns for senior citizens, and additional food items that were needed.

The impeachment trial for William Jefferson Clinton is underway ; the stock market is bouncing about a little too much; the nonlly zone over Iraq continues to keep our armed forces involved. ' All major events. But what has been getting our attention? The weather, of course. The weather channel on television has been gettin g a lot of wear and tear as we glue ours~ lves to the set to fin.d out just what Mother Nature has lined up for us. Not that it does any good to know probably but on the other hand , we need to take a tip from the Boy Sco uts who have "be prepared'' as their motto. · However, it does seem to me that one maybe ought to be a near rocket scientist these days to follow those sophisticated televised weather predictions. They show us all those maps with all of those colors. And aren't the colors .great- various shades of pinks, reds, gree ns, yellows, blue s and then there 's white . I'm still trying to figure out if that is indicative of clouds or snow. Ii would be helpful to know just what the colors indicate. I know there is a color coded chart at the top of the screen but being slow on the trigger I'm lost by the time I get a co lor selected from the map and t,ry to pin down its meaning. The colors keep moving and the picture keeps changin g. And I for the most part am confused, However, that 's nothin ' new for me , Of course, the weather predictions and maps deal primarily with the major cities and that we "ain 't" so the procedure seems to be in finding a happy medium between what's .cooking in Columbus and Charl eston and coming up with an estimate on what to expect in our · locality. · At any rate no matter how elaborate , the weather presentations become it won' t change the fact that weather is something everyone talks about but no one does anything about it Although the past week or so hasn't been ex.actly ideal for picnicking, we in Meigs County have fared well since 1999 arrived with its bag of snow, ice, and cold. Compared to places like.Buffalo and Albany, N. Y., and even the Columbus area, we've been fortunate. I guess you might say that we've enjoyed moderation. It's an ill wind so if you ' re one of those people who have this strong need to c'lear out the clutter at the start of a new year, the weather has been ideal for that. I mean if you're confined to your home what better way to make use of the time than to go· through a lot ofyour "stuff' and decide what to get rld of so that you will have space for the new accumulation in 1999. And there will be new "stuff' even though right now you may feel that you don ' t need one more material object in your life. If all goes as predicted, we 're now going to enjoy a "heat wave" at least for a few days. Even if it doesn 't last, it will give us a chance to get our "second wind". I know I'm not alone in my feeling that an early spring might be nice. There are ways to avoid the experiences of the past week or so. Florida is one of them- the sunshine state. ·That wouldn't work for me, however. Why should I go there when, indeed, "You are my sunshine" and you're here? I'll just hang on here and encourage you to keep smiling . Associated Press Writer . WASHINGTON (AP) - Jason Carter loves speaking Zulu and living as the only white man in a rural ~outh African neighborhood , but things have changed· since "Miss Lillian" had a similar role in India three decades ago. " It's not my great-grandmother's Peate Corps," he says. The 23-year-old volunteer has running water and communicates regularly with grandpa Jimmy Caner by e-mail. That is something Lillian Carter could not do when she joined the Peace Corps in 1966 as her son was losing a race for ·G eorgia governor. The former pre~ident and hi s Peace Corps grandson s hared a Washington stage Thursday night in a. conversation across generations. At 74, Carter says he and Jason have a commo n bond: They both are from "outcast generati ons" in a world run by the middle-aged. Jason says most of hi s South African friends do not know he is the grandson of a U.S . president, but he has a higher profile than the average vol unteer. His grandfather visited during his -in-country training a year ago and introduced him to South African Pres ident Nelson Mandel a.

With their images J>rojected onto giant TV screens at the Global MeetiAg of Generations....,- a forum aimed · at getting old and young gener~tions together to address world problems .,.- the two Carters chatted about the environment, learning from other countries, the gap between rich and poor and declining U.S . foreign aid. "I've been president of this country, and I'm responsible partially," Carter said, for what he called "probably the stingiesi country in the world," with per capita foreign aid one-twentieth that of Norway. The elder Carter acknowledged that he never really worried about what. his four children thought of him but he is eager to have his grandchildren approve of him. "I approve." Jason said, crediting his grand father for teaching him " never to stop taki'ng advantage of your opportunities." But the younger Carter said he feels that hi s generation has no 'romantic cau se eq ual to the civ il rights or anti ' war movements of his father 's generation.

Ohio and in ba~king out hit .a pier on the outer back wall of Dam 19. In a matter of three minutes the boat Oipped over in the Ohio River. Ten people were killed , one of whom was from Gallipoli~ : . There were ·]I people from Gallipolis who worked on this boat. There were 5 deckhands from here: Lawrence West, John Alren, John Fulton, Char le s '"(hompson, and Robert Pickey; 4 callin boys: Henry Davis, Herman ~arris, Ed Robem and Lincoln Washington; I mate: Millard Burdeite and a steward. Lloyd Gee. :: )'.1r. Gee drowned trying to saYe Mrs. Alma Campbell , a a hambermaid on the boat. William Burdette and Mrs. Millard Burdet!e of Gallipolis were ~assengcrs that day. The two cooks: Tom Sanns and George Roiis were from Pt.. Pleasant. Lloyd Gee was born in 1850, the son of John Gee. In 1864 Lloyd went to work on the river. He served on boats that traveled the Ohio, Mississippi , Missouri and Red Rivers. At his death he was in his 52nd year of steamboat service. h was said that Mr. Gee was a strict disciplinarian as. head steward . Gee insisted that(hose working under him treat the traveling public the same as _they were treated in the "heyday" of river boats. In the obituary in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune of January 13, 1916, Mr. Gee was listed as a grandson of President Wm. H. Harrison . Capt. Berry of the Kanawha stated of the accident: "We were backing out of Little Hocking when the wind storm hit us . We caught the pier. The light was out · and we co uld not see. I tried to hold the b0 at in her true chamlel, · but th e wind drove her against the pier and she struck . on the starboard side. The boat sunk in three minutes after hittin g the pier. I ordere'd every person to the upper decks and we got oui the lifeboats .. I did not see anyone drown, nor hear anyone calling. I stayed with the boat till everyone was off and was rescued by pilot, Dan Patchell. The night was so black I could not see my hand before me. I rode the ~om of the vessel. Orice I reached under th~ pilot house and felt the hair of a woman and reaching down, discovered a woman was in the water up to her arms. The en·gine man helped me rescue her." The second engineer remembered: "I was sleeping as I was off duty. Before I had gotten dressed, the light! went out and this told me we were sinking rapidly. Then the boat began to list and seemed to go over in a hurry. I grabbed a door, lifted it free and jumped. When I came up, I made for the boat which was turning over and crawled ·up on · its 'Side. There were 15 or 20 of us on the side of the boat. As the boat kept turning, 'we crawled up toward the hull and when it finally turned turtle, we crawled up on the bottom of the hull. we·drifted on down the river, until we were taken off by one of the life boats and were rowed ashore. h was so dark that we could not see any thing , and all abo ut us was the roar of the water, the screams of frightened women and the calls of men. It · was an experience never to be forgotten ." Among the dead were Bert Wolfe of Rockland, Ohio. Wolfe was head clerk of the Kanawha. He had gone to the boat's office to get the cash qnd important papers. He entered the office just as the boat turned over and was therefore trapped underneath the boat. Of the passengers killed were: Mr. and Mrs . W.L. Hoblitzell and their five month old baby. This family was from Washington D.C. , Sadly it was five days before · crews were allowed to go to the boat. Rescuers were afraid that if thl' boat was Oipped back over, dead bodies would be washed down river. · As it turns out most of the dead bodies had alread.Y floated away from the boat. It would be several weeks before all the bodies were recovered. In the days after the accid.ent, the Gallipolis Daily Tribune reported: "Hundreds of pleasuresee kers boarded 'excursion boats and train s and visited the scene of the catastrophe at Lamp's land·ing .

A wonhy, 'hree-part PBS program ex~mines what many observers see as society's growing · incivility and coarseness at ~very level, from daily life to politics .to popular culture. Some of the conclusions, however, may prompt Bronx cheers. Part of PBS' "Natiomil Desk" public affairs series, the program opened Friday night with "We the (rude) People," in which political qommentator ·and journalist Morton Kondracke examines the roots of rudeness. ; "Life, Liberty aD!Ilhe Pu·rsuit of !!leaze: Media and Politics," airs Friday, Jan. 22, with Mara Liasso~. The National Public Radio corre~pondent looks at how the ambitions qf journalists and _politicians clash with the public's right to fairness and accuracy• The concluding chapter is "The Popular Culture: Who's to Blame?'' with CO!Dedian David Steinberg, who dissects the Jerry Springer Era of trash entertainment and more wonhy, boundary-breaking fare. It · airs Friday, J;m. 29. . Although the first episode overr¢ac~es in its attempt to target the qau Ses of AmeriCa's soci3fdeteriora:. tion, the series offers a convincing portrait of a country confused, at best, about modem etiquette. It's not n1erely a drawing-room topic: One 1996 study found 91 percent of Americans believe the decline ofciviljty contributes to viqlent behavior. A ' caution: The series makes points about changing standards of behavior with graphic examples of profanity, nudity and violence. Kondracke 's segment, which takes on the thorny job of figuring out why Americans seem increasingly inclined to cuss, lean on car horns and slam doors in each others' faces, is the most provocative. The causes are varied, the program suggests, and include technqlogical advancements like the Internet that depersonalize interaction and value speed over politeness.

The best-selling author-physician Oliver Sacks proyi<led the siory in his book "An Anthropologist on Mars." Sacks has gained a reputation for uncovering u)lusual medical cases.

Despite its good intentions, the rest of "At First Sight" seems strangely unmoving. The characters and events of Steve Levitt's sereenplay ,have an air of predictability, and Irwin Winkler's direction lacks excitement. John ~ale's cinematography contrasting the mountain greenery and the bold colors of Manhattan is a vital asset.

" But we've since woiiced beyond that ooh-la-la stuff." "Homicide" took Sheppard a giant step past ooh-Ja-la with the story arc that began last week. "We said, Jet's see what happens if she is doing her job effectively, efficiently, and gets caught in a very brutal beat-down," says Michele, clearly savoring the dramatic consequences. "Then, after she gets out of the hospital, we get to see what happens to her psychologically back in the squad room, when those same men who were oohing and aahing see a woman who has been'physically.altered, at least for a little while." That, she says, "is why I fought so hard to be on 'Homicide.'" The drama premiered in January 1993, and ever since, Michele says, '"Homicide' has been my shining · star. 'I gotta get on it,' I kept telling myself." She knew it was the ideal showcase for the kind of acting she wanted to do. . Maybe that's because "Homicide" defies assumptions.

A look at what happened in business this past week: · The latest chapter A currency is devalued, central bank officials resign and stock markets around the .world tumble.

Schrempp's comments came last week during the opening session of the Automotive News World Con- gress, an annual gathering of auto executives that coincides with the start of the North-American In\emationaI Auto ~how. In 1998, Daimler and· Chrysler together spent $16.5 billion on research and development. Schrempp noted that amounts to $45 million a day. .

"Only superior, innovative products deliver t~e comPI'tittve edge to provide above-average margins. Schrempp and co-chairman Robert J.

In a ietter Sunday, Republican leaders told the president they will be listening closely to what he says about tax cuts, defense spending, expanding local control over cdlicati?n .dollars and overhauling Social Security "without tax maeases or benefit cuts." Senate Majority Leader Trent loll, R-Miss., and House Speaker Dennis Hasten, R-Ill. invited a in ton 11t submit a Social Security proposal be~ March I, the date they said they have Scheduled a joint House-Senate commiUee meeting to receive it.

The proposed child care credit would bCnefit an cstimated l. 7 million families. That would mean a family earning $30,000 per year with one working parent would be able to claim $500 in child care expenses, rather than the $250 they are allowed under current law. The amount of the credit declines as tamily income increases. The administration official declined to reveal how the tax credit would be funded, other than to say it would be financed through "a host of pptions" being exercised in Qinton's budget and would not be tied to a tobacCo- tax increase. ._Extra Clean, Just Traded, V-6, Well equipped.
