REED Sentinel t4ews Staff Money left in a special revolving loan fund will be distributed to other village departments now that it has been released from the Ohio Department of Development. The Department of Development has authorized lhe transfer of $26,600, which has languished in the revolving loan fund, to other activities, including a . tree planting program, road improvemenls,'-sewer work and pool improvements. . ·The transfer was allowed, in part, because lhe community is deemed S7 percent low and moderate income, and beCause lhe revolving loan program has been discontinued. The loan fund was established. to help small businesses in Middleport, but its use was discon· tinued with lhe closing of the village economic development operation · several years ago. The money has remained in a special economic development fund since then, butlhc village has not had the authority to sj,end the money for other purposes until the state authorized the transfer on May 7. The possibility of.spending lhc funds was first considered Ibis winter when village grant write,r Pat Custer suggested using part of the·funds to pay for half the east of afeasibility study for a bike and walking path joihing Pomeroy and Middleport, but council voted down the proposal. Pomeroy will proceed on its own with that project, seeking grant funds from the state to construct the path, while · Middleport will use the ·newly-released funds for several public works projects. Jean Craig, president of the Board of Public Affairs, which oversees the water and sewage systerns in MiddlepOrt; said Friday that ~unci! approved using $14,000 of the RLF funds to pur-· chase a second-hand 300-gallon jetter, a specialized piece of equipment which uses high-pressure jets of water to clean storm sewer and sanitary sewer lines. Middleport, in lhc past, has rented a 300-gallon jetter from the village of Pomeroy to clean the lines, which clog with sediment, roots and other debris. Craig said that once all the sewer lines in the , village arc cleaned initially, the village will be "sectioned off" and routine cleaning will be scheduled. Craig said that the jetter will also help to elim- inale problems with the sewer system's dry wealher overflows, which have been deemed inadequate by lhe village's engineering firm, floyd Browne Associates. Delivery of the jetter is expected to take place on Tuesday, Craig said. The village also committed $5,000 of RLF funds to assist in planting new trees in the downtown business district. Myron Duffield of the Middieport Community Association req~ested tha'.'he village reappoint a tree authority and appropnale funds for the. purchase and planting of the new trees, which will replace trees which were removed.from the area last year. Those trees were removed because of disease; and Duffield said last week that the new tree authority and the community association will work closely with the Ohio Department of Natura1 Resources to· choose appropriate trees and to help maintain them during the first year they are planted. · Another $7,600 of RLF money was used lo pave the roadway at Riverview' Cemetery, and $1,800 went to retire debt incurred for pool improve!1Jents and to purchase needed pool supplies for the summer swimming season.

By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst , NEW YORK (AP) - Amidst the galaxy of inJeracting forces that make up the economic universe there is a black hole, unseen for the most part but powerfully affecting everything else. It is productivity. " We can't see it but we know it's there by how it affects other 'celestial bodies' like inflation, profits and wage gains," says economist William Dunkelberg, a Temple Unive~ity professor. While eluding efforts at precise measurement, productivity nevertheless is more responsible than anything else in explaining recent improvements in living standards. · Absent productivity gains, material living standards only creep ahead, and to a great degree one group's improved fortune may be at the expense of another. But when productivity grows, all benefit. Reverting to a more mundane analogy, productivity is what bakes the economic pie. And when it 'rises, as it has of late, everyone can have a big· ger slice \llithout denying their neighbor. . ·. Perhaps overly simplified, productivity is output per hour of work. In that · regard, it is relatively easy to measure, for example, the production of cars, · telephones and light bulbs and fixtures. However, to do so - and we oflen do so - is hardly a measure of improved living conditions. Quality improvements enhance our lives and lower our costs, features ignored by merely counting items. In fact, since item prices tend to rise they distort the issue because they disguise improvements in quality while giving the impression of inflation. The opposite is true, and for this reason: A car is not a hors~ and wagon, a telephone is not a megaphone, a light bulb is not a candle. To measure only price is to ign6re the improvements. . , .In tl\eir research papers, W. Michael Cox of the Dallas Federal Reserve, and Richard Nm, a writer, express it well. We buy transportation, communication and light, not cars, phones and bulbs. Willam Nordhaus of Yale University offers an illustration, pointing out '· that while the price of light bulbs and fixtures has risen ever since their invention, the cost of light has fallen from 40 cents per 1,000 lumens in 1800 ' to one-tenth of a cent today. . · · · During the first three months of the year, productivity shot up at an ailnu· · al 4 percent rate, following a 4.3 percent gain in the final quarter of 1998. That is, as best we can measure. It permitted higher wages to be paid and greater profits to be made while • inflation remained constrained. In real Jerms, the economy grew. It meant a . bigger piece of economic pie for everyone. Not long ago that wasn't so. After having risen at a healthy 3 percent annual rate during the 1950s and 1960s, U.S. productivity stagnaled at about t percent from 1973 into the 1990s. Compared to today, those faller years were economically drab, even painful. Inflation, recessions and unemploymeni. In real terms, wages of many Americans actually fell for a decade. In the past few years, w"ages, profits and lifestyles all have improved. To the surprise of lllany, inflation has not risen as unemployment fell. And the stock market has soared. , There's a long line, headed by political parties and elected officials·, who are taking bows for the scintillating performance. . But in truth, they've been stagehands for the performers, who are the American people themselves, with creative minds that invent computers, . electronic wonders and better processes. They're the ones creating the pressures that affect all other economic statistics. They 're what's creating the big stir in the black hole. Today In History : By The Aeeoclsted Press ' Today is Tuesday, May 18, the !38th day of 1999. There are 227 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in <History: • On May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court endorsed the concept of."separate but equal" racial segregation with its "Plessy v. Ferguson " decision, a rul('ng that was ovenurned 58 years later in the case of " Brown v. Board of Education." • On this date: : In 1642, the Canadian city ·of Montreal was founded. : In 1804, the French Senate proclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte emperor. · In 1897, a public reading of Bram Stoker's new novel, "Dracula, or, The Un-dead," was staged in London. ; In 1899, the First Hague Peace Conference opened in the Netherlands. · In 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished while visiting a &each in Venice, Calif.; she reappeared a month later, claiming to have been By Morton Kond ..cke It took six and a half months and a stained blue dress for President Clinton to retract his finger· waggi ng deni al of sexual rela· tions with Monica Lewinsky. How long will it take him to correct for his China-spying deni al on March 19? · "To the best of my knowledge," Ointon said that day, " no one has said anything to me about any espionage that occurred by the Cltinese against the labs during my presi· dency.n Well, Ointon left himself more wiggle room on March 19 than he did in his Jan. 26, 1998, Monica denial. ''To the bes t of my knowledge" gives him the out of,faulty memory. But published facts, even if they are not quite as reliable as DNA on a dress, rebut the basic accuracy of the denial : Chinese espionage did occur during his presidency and Clinton almost certainly was informed about it. In July 1997, Department of Energy intelligence chief Notra Trulock briefed Wbite House National Secb rity Advisee Sandy Berger about it. White House aides acknowledge that Berger briefed Clinton "within a day or two." Energy Secretary Bill Richardson confirmed last Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that China engaged in unspecified espionage activities during the Clinton years. Then, The New York limes on Monday revealed a speci fie instance: the 1997 transfer of data on radars used to track submarines by a scientist, Peter Lee, who later spent lime in custody for revealing laser secrets in 1985. The question ·begging an answer is: Why did Clinton misstate -- or lie? There are three theories around: (I) conspiratorial, (2) innocent and (3) worth checking. To adversaries prone to believe the worst about Clinton, the March 19 claim was a lie meant to conceal a corrupt (if not treasonous) sna~epit of call)paign contribu. lions from the Chinese government and U.S. busi· nesses doing· business there, "appeasement" of China at the policy level and winking ·at espi onage. New York Times columnist Bill Safire, the Wall Street Journal editorial page ·and some Republicans believe the dots can be connecJed and want a special prosecutor or congressional committee to do i~ contending that the Justice Department is' part of the plot · Indeed, on lop of Attorney General Janel Reno's persistent refusal to appoint' an indepen· dent counsel to investigate the campaign contri • bution mess -- and Justice's apparent fail'ure to even interview top fund-raiser John Huang .. disturbing evidence has emerged of FBI mishandling of espionage cases. The worst is the agency 's fai lure until recently to check the compuler of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee, who is suspected of giving away programs for simulating nuclear tests. Department of Energy official.& had their sights on Lee as early as 1995,1\nd the FBI took over the case of nuclear lab security breaches in 1996. It required no court order to check his computer, but it wasn' t done . Moreover, the Senate; Intelligence CommitJee and The New York Times have uncovered evi· dence of tardy FBI handling of mysterious bank transfers from China to the United States totaling $92 million. .

The only· ; thin g we could see in thi s boy was ; that he was well-built and good- look ing. ' "Genevieve" was always popular · and never lacked for boyfriends. My husband and I could not figure out why she was so crazy about this immature "boy loy." She could have had any guy she wanted. After we mel "Bruno,"' we ta lked to Genev ieve about being careful and n01 gening 100 involved with someone so young. We didn 't mention that he didn' t appear to have any common sense and that no one in the family liked him. Genevieve listened to our advice and agreed that Bruno might not be right for her. Shonly afterward , she broke off the relationship. Unfortunately, she then found om she was pregnant. Genevieve gave birth loa beautil'ul baby boy a few weeks ago. We have opened our home to our daughter and her child. bul we have no imention of lening Bruno back into her life.

Not only is he irresponsible, he is rude, poU!S, whines and leaves a mess in the house. He doesn't know how to · handle the baby and is often unintentionally rough. Genevieve is trying to leach him how to hold the child , but Bruno is like a clumsy ox.. I cringe when I see him in the house. Our daughter is trying hard to make the relationship work because she thinks it is best for the baby but I'm afraid she will agree to marry Bruno and be stuck forever with this ignorant, arrogant je.rk.

Don't attempt to· prevent heat stroke by shaving the animal, however. Not all dogs have to be shaved because the hair coat can also keep the dog cool by trapping cool air ne•t to the ani mal's sk.in .and reducing the amount of heat transferred from the environment.

Matted hair can cause skin irritation . Here are some other tips 10 keep your dog cool this summer: • Keep dogs indoors, in air co nd itioning, if at all possible on very hot days. • Do not leave dog i·n· a car during the su mmer.

The file on George "Machine Gun" Kelly is missing key documents. Records on " Birdman ol Alcatraz" Roben Stroud are all photoco~ies. There al so are gaps in inmate files on escapes and virtually nothing on Capone. 1 "The records have ei ther been ' purged, cu lled or stolen for people's personal gains. I'd say all of the above.

''You've got hundreds of researchers who needed these things over the years, " says Linda McGregor Scott. a Memphis, Tenn., author who is writing a hook on " Machine Gun " Kelly. " AII of this. is American history that helongs to the citizens of this country. and it's just not fai r," she adds. " It tlabl)ergasts me that they would JUSt let someone lceep original documents for 15 years." Scutt was so exasperated that she wrote to Janet Reno and lawmakers, including U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein ; urging them 10 look into the mailer. A Feinstein aide' called Scott to tell her they would investigate. In 1996, Ward began to gradually return the documents to the Bureau of Prisons, which in turn sent them to the arch ives in Northern California. Ol"fi cials beli eve the government now has most of the papers. but can't he sure. Wnrd claims if it wasn't for him there wouldn 't even .be· an Alcatraz collection.

Clarence Lyons of the National Archives headqu arters in College Park, Md .. would only say that the records "should not have been outside of federal custody." 'Bureau of Prisons officials did not return phone calls. . Historians say there's no way to know if the missing papers wi ll ever resurface. Of the 50 or so pages in Capone's fi le, only one relates to Alcmraz - a copy of a typed Western Union message of an exchange between Mae Capone to warden James A. Johnston , about her hosband, who was going insane from syphilis. · "Due to the rumors (I) would I ike to leave at once so I could be near my husband if anything should happen ," Mrs. Capone wrote on Feb. 9, 1938, from her Florida home. Johnston wrote back that the gangster; imprisoned for tax evasion, was "quiet, communicative, cooperative" and "apparently comprehends .hi s condition." He advised Mrs. Capone to wait for further notice. Joel Gazis-Sax, who runs an Alca.traz Web site from his Palo Alto home, says the Wes tern Union docu ment isn't·as informati ve as it seems. " It 's important. but it's second- · rate." Gazis-Sax says. " It doesn't reveal any new inrormation on AI Capone. And it's. not even the origi nal document ; it's a typed copy." What's mi ssing , Gazis-Sax says, are mug shots, original signatures, leiters, neuropsychiatric reports and warden's notebook s that would reveal the overall scope ofCapo n~ · s life as seen through the eyes of hi s jailers. The document s - · however incomplete - offer a window· into Alcatraz. Every inmate had a file that incl uded court documents, n\edieal , parole and disci pimary records. No detail relating to prison life was deemed too insignifi cant to preserve; the archives even include a memo fro m a warden giving his permiss ion to orde r small er softballs at the prisoners' request. " It was that arcane, " says Babyak. " Wh~n you see that that's the level of·minutiae, you begin to realize that when they don 't ,have any escape files, something' s happened to them." . . As for his complaining colleagues, Ward says: "They.don:t know how lucky they are to have a collection as intact as thi s is.

OhiO Volume 49 NumbN 24/ Smgle Copy- 35 Cents Mining at Civil War battlefiel~ may begin this summer Mining could begin as · early as this · summer on . Ohio's only Civil War battlefield, located here in Meigs County, which will ·be turned mostly into gravel pits under an agreement that was signed Tuesday by a mining company and federal and state officials: According to an article in The Columbus Dispatch, the Meigs County Historical Society and the Ohio Sons of Union Veterans. of the Civil War refused to sign the agreement, which would allow mining on the Buffing- · ton Island Balllefield at Poriland, saying that the historic land would be desecrated. The agreement was signed in Columbus by 'Shelly, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. Shelly Materials of Thornville want to mine gravel · on more than 400 acres · of land associated with the Buffington Island battlefield; the site. of a July, 1863, bailie. in which Conftderale raiders under Gen. John Hunt Morgan were routed by Union 1troops and gun· boats. · . Morgan's men were hrassed by . Union troops anll local militia·during their trek across Meigs County. The battlefield, located near the head of Buffington Island, is where Morgan made a failed attempt to cross the Ohio River into West Virginia. Under the agreement, Shelly will set aside the 40 acres known as the Bloody Ground, where some of the heaviest fighting reput.edly occurred, and give it to Ohio for preservation. But that could be 30 years down the road because Shelly will haul gravel to barges over those 4() acres. "We're very unhappy;" Margaret Parker, director of the Meigs County Historical Society, told the Dispatch. "It looks as if they arc going to· save 40 acres and destroy the rest of the battlefield.'.' . Parker said she i's upset that a detailed archaeological study of the entire battlefield has not bee it conduct~ ed with metal detectors. . Without such a study, there is no proof that the 40 acres to be turned over to the state are any more sig· nificanl than other parts of the battlefield, she said. She also fears that heavy equipment will destroy "the lay of the land" of the 40 acres. In addition, Jhe maintains the 40 acres was never going to be mhl'ed since that is where the gravel plant will be located. "My vision of the future of Buffington Island is acres of gravel pits filled wiih water," said allqmey William Barton of Jackson, who represetiled the Meigs County Historical Society during negotiations. Keith Ashley ~f Rock Springs, representing the Ohio Sons of Union Veterans, also refused to sign the . agreement. The SUV and other groups including the Sons Qf Confederate Veterans have expressed concerns over unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers at the si te. · The agreeme.nt now goes to the Advisory Council' on Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C. for its consideration. However, even if the council objects, the Corps of Engineers can issue a permit allowing Shelly to build an Ohio River barge-loading facility. The company has also applied for a mining permit with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and has ,agreed to do the mining in stages. "This will give proponents of preservation the opportunity to seek funding to purchase parts of the property that will not be mined for m~rli," said Amos Loveday, the state's historic preservation officer. In the agreement, the company agreed to pay for an archaeological study of the property before mining begins. · An archaeologist from Heidelberg College in'Tiffin has been funded by a private foundation to study parts of the battlefield ·outside the Shelly property. · Tt]e agreement also calls for the company to give · $100,000 to be matched by the state for educational purposes - such as historical markers - on the battlefield. But the company can lise up to $60,000 of the money to defend itself from lawsuits if it is sued. The Meigs County Historical Society has said it 'Viii contest the mining permits . Paul D, Rice, an attorney for Shelly, said mining could begin as early as this summer. "I think it.needs to be understood that the company recognized the concerns (of preservationists) and tried to negotiate a just settleme nt," he said. Loveday said the agreement culminated more than two years of arduous negotiations. "The plan is not perfect, n he said. "Some will be dissatisfi~d. but given the federal regulations, it's the best agreement that could be arrived at. "It's never good to lose a historic site." · Meanwhile, the Meigs County Historical Society is continuing to appeal the gravel mining ,permit. "We might as well go down fighting," said Parker. · "We WQ,n't lose anything by holding out." She -hid she feels betrayed by the stale of Ohio since it did not do more to protect the battlefield.

"But," commented Dingess, "band is .more than learning to plax instruments well and winning trophies." . · "ll's abO-ui learning to work together for a common goal, it's about dedication, it's about hard work, it's about lifting up the banner and carrying it well."
