Christians set out on religious pilgrimages to visit holy sites so that they might gain a deeper understanding of their faith. Today, as the new millennium approaches, the Catholic Church has proclaimed this time Jubilee 2000- a year long period of spec ial activities designed to bring the faithful closer to God. As part of the Jubilee 2000 cele bration, various churches and sites have been declared places of pilgrimages. While many of these designated locations, such as the Holy Land, Rome or Lourdes, France. will draw worshipers from throughout the world, locally Christians can take a pilgrimage to St. Louis Cat holic Ch urch in Gallipolis. According to Bishop Gilbert I. Sheldon. uf the Diocese of Steubenville. the church is one of II local locations se l c~.:ted in a region that includes Stuebe nvi lle , Athens and St. Clairsv ille. that will welcome Christians throughout the Jubilee Year. At the Vatican , a spec ial door that has been sealed since the last Jubilee 25 years ago, will once again be opened so that symbolically the faith' ful might walk through and into a deeper understanding of their fatth . After the jubilee year ends, the door will be resealed until the ne•tjubliee .. Monsignor William Myers sees the symbolic passage through the door as an opportunity for Christian growth. "We don't have a door to seal up and open. but we are decorating one to make people aware that.this is a journey of faith, to deep one's belief. Just like putting a ring on your finger doesn't make you married, walking through the door doesn't have any special ability. A change of heart is what is necessary." According to Pope John Paul II in his Bull of Indiction of the Great PREPARING FOR PILGRIMAGE - Steven Cornett, a parishioner at St. Louis Catholic Church in Gallipolis, decorated the door that will serve as the symbolic entry way during the pilgrimage planned for St. Louis and Catholic churches in Meigs and Mason counties in 2000. Jubilee of the Year 2000, "In the · course of its history, the institution of the Jubilee has been enriched by signs which \attest to the faith and foster the devotion of the Christian ' people. Among these, the first is the notion of the pilgrimage.•· Father Myers reminds his parish members that a pilgrimage is to be taken with a se rious and prayerful mind set. And, as the Pope has issued in his decree, it ts a time for vigils. fasting and prayer to prepare the Christian to accept a greater understanding of grace. Father Myers sees the pilgrimage as time to exam one's life and draw closer to Christ. "It enhances one's ability to sec God working in one's life through grace and favor." It is also a time for the faithful to reconnect with their spiritual roots as they stud y the Bible for examples of pilgrimages such as the Exodus. Mary and Joseph llccing out of Egypt and the JOUrneys of the discip les and Paul. Father Myers also notes that Gallipolis .will play host to visitors dunng the year as Christians come from throughou t region to worship at Saml Louis. "We have a great to chance to weicome man y visitors who arc coming to our city and we arc excited about the opportunity help them grow in their Chri st inan walk," said Father Myers. One of the special times for the pil)lrimagc will be at the vigil mass at 5:30p.m., Christmas Eve and the midnight mass on Christmas Eve .

(AP) Industry spews less pollution into the air in Vennont than any other state in the Northeast and yet thousands of trees are dying and many lakes and streams no longer support fish . The only possible explanation for the ecological destruction in a state with air as clean as Vennrinl's, Attorney General William Sorrell and Natural Resources Secretary John Kassel argued Tuesday, has to be coal-burning power plants far to the west. So they announced Tuesday that Vermont was asking a federal judge in Columbus, Ohio, for pennission to intervene in a lawsuit in which the U.S Environmental Protection Agency alleges that American Electric Power plants are violating the Clean Air Act. "We have virtually no (sulfur dioxide) sources in this.state," Kassel said at a news conference. "We have acid rain because it is coming from (the Midwest). I think we ' re in a position to make that argument more compellingly than anyone else." But it' s an argument that Midwest electricity generators will hotly conlest.

' The Daily Sent~~! • Sports Thursday, December 9, 1999 By RICKGANO CHICAGO (AP) - Is Cincinnati good or what? The Bearcats have an outside game to go with their typically grabby defense, their abi lity to run the floor, the1r trademark rough play on the inside and their hard-to-please coach. "That's the difference," forward Pete Mickcal said. "Last year, we were like, 'We're gonna beat you up.' Now we can shoot, too. We just go out and do what we have to do ." Cincinnati put all its talents on display Wednesday mght, showing why it's No. I while beating No. 7 North Carolina 77-68 in the Great Eight. "The thing is , we can get so much better.'" said coach Bob Huggins, showing his usual sidelme antics pacing, grimacing, berati ng and comp lammg - throughout the game. SatiSfying Huggin s, it seems, is as difficult as beating other ranked teams. Perhaps it also explains why the Bearcab are so good. ·· You can win by 40 and other ~o aches will tell you how well you d1d .·· M1ckeal said . "'When the man (Huggms) comes in. it's another story. · ··You got to love a guy that won "t Jet you think you ' re good, that he JUSt wants the best for you. When he recruited me, the first thing he told me is that! can't wait to ye ll at you ." Kenyon Martin cleaned up in st de with nine rebounds, four blocks and 16 points. Mickeal scored 21 points, and 6-foot-9 fre shman DerMarr Johnson had 14. And when Carolma closed within two in the second half after the Bearcats led by 12 at the half. Cincinnati didn't falte r. Even though they had on ly one licld goal in the final live m1nutes a three-point play by Mickeal wl!h I:26 left - the Bearcats were I l-oll 5 from foul line to lmally heat Carolina for the first time Cincinnati (6-0) had lost all seven previous meetings with North Carolina, three m the 1990s. includIng an ove rtime game in the 1993 NCAA regional finals. " I thought before the game that Cincinnati was one of the bes t teams I've seen in the last scvc1al yeats. and nothing m the course of the game changed my mind:· Caro lma coach Bill Guthridge said. "They've got a lot of guys who can run up and down the lloor and guards who can find them, .. North Carolma guard Ed Cota sa 1d "And they ' ve got guys who IC.II Iy go after it on the boards and on the defensive end ...

Carrard said six IOC members have been questioned by the FBI so far and that a seventh was still to be interviewed. He said there was no indication that any of the members were under investigation. Carrard declined to identify the members who have met with the FBI. But it is known that they include Canadian members Dick Pound and Carol Anne Letheren, Jean-Claude Killy of France and Marc Hodler of Switzerland. Killy and Hodler were questioned during an official trip to Sail Lake City earlier this year. The Justice Department investigation has led to charges against two people so far. Utah businessman David Simmons pleaded gui lty Aug. 3 to a federal misdemeanor tax charge. He said he helped create a sham job for John Kim, son of powerful South Korean IOC executive board member Kim Un-Yong, with the understanding tbat the Sail Lake City bid committee would pay the son's salary and then deduct the salary from his taxes. John Kim was indicted m September on federal charges that he lied to investigators and entered the United Stales with a fraudulently obtained green card.

She demonstrated such toys as the dancing wooden man and the do- nothing, allowing the children to expenment and play with the games. Cullen explained that most of the toys were wooden because wood was easy 10 frnd and toys could be cheaply hand-made. She also noted that children from the colonral era drd not have electricity or batteries to power modern toys. Coonen, dubbed "Dame Sarah" for the purpose of the !our, taught the children about the first schools. She noted one-room school houses, low teacher salaries· (67 cents per week) and punishment procedures. Coonen also explained that each school house was heated by a wood fire, the wood being donated by students' fathers. She added that those students whose fathers donated wood were rewarded with a seat close to the fire. Layne concluded the tour with stories of old-time gifts. She showed the students how families created gtfts for each other instead of buying them. Layne displayed a number of gifts, all naturally made. She explained that most children The danger posed by phthalates is disputed by scientists. European studies conducted on rats linked the chemicals to liver and kidney ail111ents. Subsequent studies in the United States have found that the level of exposure required to trigger health problems far exceed the amount children are likely to ingest by sucking or chewing on toys. Toys with the highest concentrations of'phtllalates as a percentage total weight, according to the study, were Playskool's Barney's Twinken squeeze toy, 57 percent; Pooh Bathtub Pal, 47 percent; and Mega Bloks' Teletubby squeeze toy, 54 percent. The study acknowledged that most major toymakers, including Mauel, had removed phthalates from teething rings and soft rattles. In seeking alternatives, the toy industry is respondrng to increasmg pressure from activists, toy retailers and the European Commission, the administrative arm of the European Union. On Tuesday, the commissron announced a three-month ban on the sale of rattles, teething rings and other " mouthing" toys with the additive. T~e commission said legislation for a pennanent ban is being developed. The move was made despite opposition by the Toy Industries of Europe, whrch maintains the products pose no health risk to children.

Martm Luther King Jr. final ly has what it has sought for years - a JUry verdict saying the civtl rights leader was ihe victim of a murder conspiracy, not the lone gunman. "I'm Just so happy to see that the people have spoken. This is what we've always asked for," King 's son, Dexter, satd Wednesday after a jury ruled in hts family's favor on a wrongful death lawsuit. The Kings had sued Loyd Jowers, a retired Mempht s businessman who claimed six years ago that he patd some one other than confessed killer James Earl Ray to ktll Kmg The tnal, whtch began Nov. 15, for the first time gave a JUry the opportunity to hear theories of a murder conspiracy 111 the 1968 assassinJtion at a Memphts motel. Ray pleaded gUilty to the murder in 1969, so he did not go to trial. He tned for 30 years to take back the gutlty plea and dted tn pnson of liver dt sease last year. Hts plea was upheld etght ltmes by state and federal courts The six blacks and SIX whites dn the Chancery Court jury deliberated only about three hours before returnmg Wednesday's 'crdict and awarding the Kings $1 DO m damages. , The Kings has asked for mmtmal damages. saymg they were more mterested 111 a verdict that would support thetr belief of a wnsptracy.

He told jurors they could rewrite htstory with a consptracy vetdtct. " We ' re asking you to send a message ... to all of those in power that you cannot get away wnh ll," Pepper satd dumlg closing arguments. Juror Robert Tucler said the assassinatiOn was too complex for one person to handle. He noted Pepper's assertions that King's police guard was pulled back shortly before the murder and that Anny agents had King under surveillance at the time he was felled by a single rifle shot. "All of those things added up, it wasn 't just one guy acting alone," Tucker said A U.S. House committee concluded in 1978 thai Ray was the killer but may have had help before or after the assassinauon. The committee did not find any government involvement in the murder. Jowers owned a small restaurant, lim's Grill, across the street from The Lorraine Motel, where King was killed. On the day of the murder, Ray, a prison escapee from Mtssoun, rented a room under an assumed name in a rooming house above Jim's Grill. In 1993, Jowers said on ABC- TV that he hired King's killer as a favor to an underworld figure who was a friend. He did not identify the purported killer, but said n wasn't Ray. .PICTURE YOUR C.._. . . _.._,.£.1 ·AMONG THE .. . I Our special page(s) i .

This program is not funded by the school in any way. It i~· program destgned for any denomination. So far there have been three people who lake turns leading the meetings. They are Rev.

The purpose of the FCS Program is to get fellow Christians together to give thetr views and opinions on the Bible. There arc about I0 to 13 students who attend the meeting each week.

Bill Bradley said dryly, "I voted to require them. I thought you should know that. " To the older man worried about Social Security, Bradley uuered the dreaded words "reduce benefits." What pundits call Bradley's bluntness- and voters such as New Hampshire's Ed Boutin laud as authenticity - Vice President AI Gore is trying to turn into Bradley 's political suicide. But Bradley, in an interview with The Associated Press , said he is counting on a fair and favorable hearing from voters fed up with impeachmentera politics. "They've been through the last two years of intense nega(ivity," Bradley said. " I think they' re looking for something that's different. They're looking for a fresh start . Honesty and truth are what they want." He's giving them a different approach , at least. At town hall meetings, Bradley regularly gets a laugh when he starts the question and answer session with voters by warning, "If I don 't know the answer or think it's a stupid question, I'll go like this (dismissive wave of the hand) , you stt down and I'll call on the next one." Boutin got that treatment in a Bradley forum in Derry, N.H.. last week. "Instead of canned answers, he sounds like someone who's actually used ,to thinking," Boutin remarked afterward. Gore, however, pounced after Bradley mused during that same forum about a bipartisan solution for shoring up Social Security for the next 75 years . Republicans and Democrats will have to pick among tough options, includ- ' get surplus is most un'Certaln. · , . . · "He's not afraid take on a big problem and secondly. he s wtlhng ,lo say solving this problem inay not be a free lunch," said Reischaucr, a Brookings Institution fellow not allied with any campaign. . Sen. Paul Wellstone , D-Minn .. who campaigned for Bradley tn New Hampshire last week , said some voters asked about Gore's charges but they didn't appear to have done lasting damage. . . "Is it politically naive to think that you can treat people m thts country with intelligence and win' " Wellstone asked. "I pray not As soon ~~ Btll starts turning on a political calculator, that's when he gets m trouble. Bradley said his near loss in his 1990 New Jersey Senate re-electiOn campaign "freed me to share what was in my gut as well as in my mind.:'Then, Bradley refused to speak out against Gov. Jim Florio's unpopular tax tncreases. later auributing the silence to his loyalty to Florio, a friend and fello'ol( Democrat. · He has been criticized in this campaign for being too slow to rebut Gore's charges, and Bradley saw his lead in New Hampshire polls disappear during the weeks he left Gore unanswered. . Bradley told AP that, on the campaign trail, he picks up "a good sens~ that people arc reacting negatively to Gore's efforts to divide Democrats .." That was true. at least, for some workers at the Quaker Oats cereal mtll Bradley visited thi s week. _: " I think this is all part of the political game for Gore to go to the Whtt~ House and get leverage on Bradley," Quaker employee Dick Hanson satd.

The report by Rand, a policy think tank based in Santa Monica, Calif.. is harshly critical of the NTSB, an independent federal agency that investigates civil aviation accidents in the United States. It claims the agency's. investigative techniques have not kept pace with the complex designs and intricate workings of modern aircraft, . which makes probing an accident more like an "applied research project than police detective work." It says its 400-member staff is stretched too thin and is not adequately equipped . And the report says the NTSB's · practice of letting airline s. aircraft or _ component makers involved io accidents assist with investigations could compromi se its independence. It urged the agency to seck additional technical expertise from government Bryan Reeves CHRISTMAS TREES BRADFORD'S · • Cellular Jeff Warner Ins.

' Tbe Child Care Resource Network provides comprehensive child care information ranging from child care training to provider lists for parents. CCRN, which opened Oct. 11, is one of nine state· funded agencies created by the passage of IUJ. 155. This pliSSage resulted in about $2.5 million in federal child care grant funds. R-om these monies, the state Depannient of Human Services awarded $500 000 to the Corporation for Ohio Appdachian Developmen~ .which led Iii the creation of C.CRN.

"This servtce has been available for 5ome time in some large metropolilllli areas, but this is the first time . t~ been.done in an area this large and this rural," program director Leslie Moss-Pesek said. "With our above average unemployment rate, this service is critical for many families. Without reliable child care, many find it difficult to hold jobs and stay off of public assistance." Parents and child care providers can call CCRN's toll-free number (800-577-2276) to obtain information from the general to the specific. CCRN's computerized database can provide lists of licensed day care centers, certified child care homes and other registered child care providers as well as answers to gener· aJ questions. · , CCRN also provides technical assistance and training for child care providers. , • To get information on what child care providers are in your area, what questions to ask when interviewing child care providers, written information on child development or to talk to an expert about child development call the toll-free number (800) 5772276, " Bridge construction underway Good Afternoon!

SYRACUSE- Mayor George Connolly was honored Thursday night at his last official meeting as mayor of Syracuse by members of the Village Council. Connolly has served as mayor for the past four years and chose not to run for the post due to conflicting hours with his employment. Presenting Connolly with a plaque was newly elected Mayor Larry Lavender. Refreshments also were served. During the busi ness session, a bid in the amount of $8,800 was reviewed for the sale of the old fire truck from the Democrat Building Fund. Council agreed to sell the truck to the DBF. Also, bids for cleaning of the municipal 'building were reviewed and tabled for further discussion. Meeting with council was Robert Wingett, grants administrator. He reported the entire grant application through Issue 2 funds was approved to pave College Road, Sixth and Fourth streets. Larry Ebersbach, member of the board of public affairs, met with council to disc uss the purchase of a generator for the water department. No action followed. In other business: • It was noted there had been inquiries from a resident of upper Minersville as to annexing that area into the village of Syracuse. It was noted that a study of the proposal would have to be made. • It was reported that a water leak was found on the Home Creek Development. . • Councilman Eber Pickens Jr. suggested counci l purchase radios for the water department in the village. Councilman Mony Wood suggested the radios be high-band. Plans are to purchase two mobile radios and two hand-held radios and Wood was designated to make the purchases, ·not to exceed $1 ,500. • Councilman Bill Roush suggested a safety deposit box be purchased at the bank; however, it was noted council has fireproof cabinets that will suffice. · • Wood made a motion to carpe~ repaint the walls and replace the ceiling til es at the municipal building. That motion was approved. • Lavender reported cinders had been delivered and suggested a tarp be purchased to cover them . That request was also approved. • On a motion made by Councilwoman Donna Peterson, $100 Christmas bonuses were awarded to Police Chief Tim Gillilan, Mike Ralston, Bob Moore and Richard Wamsley. • Sharon Cottrill, the new clerk-treasurer, noted the fire levy and the current expense levy are expiring and can be placed on the March levy. Council approved placing a 1mill replacement levy for the fire department and a 1.8-mill replacement levy for current expenses (street lighting) on the March ballot. She also reported complaints concerning trash on the lot across from the post office and at the end of Carroll Stre~ Cottrill also said the auditors will be in to conduct an audit sometime in January or February. • Pickens reported the foll owing were elected officers of the tire department: Fire Chief Eber Pickens Sr., Asst. Chief Eber Pickens Jr., Captain Jack Peterson, lieutenants Brent Shuler, Doug Lavender and Jeff Sable. • The mayor's report of $822 was approved, and Gillilan reported issuing II citations.
