LETART FALLS - The old saying ''a bird in the hand b worth two in the bush" is once again applicable when it comes to last week's collapse· of American Municipal Power's (AMP) coal-fired power plant proposed for southern Me1gs County.

Reed I became a Christian as a young person, but because I failed to study God's Word, I fell back into sin. to a place I stopped loving and started fearing some people. I discovered life to be very miserable. Realizing a past Christian characteristic I once possessed, I made up my mind to love and trust all mankind. As I did so. I felt the bondage of that dreadful sin disappear. During that same day, God poured out his Spirit upon my entire body of flesh. beginning at the top of my head, and flowing down to the soles of my feet. This was the most rewarding experience of my life. and proving God is real. and did what He would perform in these last days. Just a few days later, God punished me. This was a hardship situation to have gone through, and after it was completed, l was a changed person, receiving additional faith and knowledge. A few years later, I was in a serious accident.lcaving me \Vith feeble knees and a lame condition. These conditions God's punished son should possess. Let us not judge anything before its time, for \\e all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive in our bodies that in which we have done. either good or bad. ··Love thy neighbor as thyself' means all mankind on the face of the Earth. Jesus tells us as we help the needs of the poor. we are also helping Him. also the difficulty of the rich to be saved: Whosoever tum their fear from the cr) of the poor, God will tum his ears from our cries . If you desire to become a Christian, you may do so anywhere and any time. by kneeling. if possible, praying to God, confessing your sins. and asking God to forgive you and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. then stating "'Amen!" God forgives us all of our past si ns. but holds us accountable for those sins we choose to live with. Jesus says if we love Him. keep His commandments. God desires all Christians to be bapt ized if possible. by having our bodies placed under water by a minister. who should say. ··I baptize thee in the name of the Father, Son and Hoi) Ghost. Let us work out our salvation with trembling fear. I am satisfied that mine has been. The question is: Has yours? May we meet in Heaven is my desire. In Jesw(name.

But anyway. my friend is great. except I have found out twice in recent weeks that she has told others things I have asked her to keep a secret. I forgiYe her. but should I trust her again? A.S. Dear A.S.: I think you can say you trust her all you want, but confiding secrets is something else. Just saying that you forgive her and trust her not to tell a third time is really a roll of the dice. It could be that she is just not the kind who can keep a secret - and this isn't to excuse her behavior. but to explain it. Some people simply are not suitable secret- keepers! Has she apologized for leaking the information to others? By what actions has she earned )OUr forgiveness? If you are ~etting her get away with this - twice - without anv sign of an apology from her. you are only encouraging her to cross those boundaries again and again. You must let her know that another breach of the friendship could help it end. If your friend is truly remorseful. you could test her with a small, unimportant confidence before telling her anything too eatth-shattering. It is important to be frank with her. though. Let her know that you were very hurt and disappointed to find out that she hadn't respected the confidences. and that your trust in her has been affected. Then make everv attempt to find out if :-he really is your friend, or just someone who should be a more casual acquaintance. She may not really be best friend material. as much as you would like her to be. Point out hO\v you have kept your lips zipped. and tell her you expect her to do the same now. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My Meigs County calendar Public meetings Monday, Nov. 30 GREAT BEND Lebanon Township Trustees, regular meeting. 7 ., township building.

In my day. \Ve spent hours on the phone with our friends. ~1). teenagers used to pul together enough e-mails it) one day to overload everyone's mailbox . Now, it seemo., my younger kids ar~ into text-messaging or instant messaging onlme. Should we oldsters try to learn how to do this to keep up with the trends? Or should we just give up, at this point? Your point of view is appreciated . ..- J .C. Dear J .C.: J think that as lam! as there are technical experts and people who want to communicate. the dizzying pace at ~hich technology has held u~ together is not likely to slo~ very soon. So you might as well try to keep up with the trends so that you aren't left in the dust and left out of family conversattons. :\o ~ingle way to communicate is inherently only for the young qr the old. So you can rest assured that while you don't want to monopolize everyone's time on their cell phone or computer. a little expertise in the techie trend of the day is a good thing to acquire. Right now. the textine. crate is the most important one for you to concentrate on. and talking with your kids about what level of communication is comfortable for everyone is key. lt would be all too easy to completely opt out of the texting craze, but you might do so at your peril. For young teens. a few \veilplaced text messages asking their whereabouts or telling them you are coming to pick them up may help you keep in touch much better than se\'eral nagging phone calls that will embarrass them in front of their friends. They even can he1p you learn some of the lingo and abbreviation~ that will take '>ome of the sv.·eat out of composing a message. A family is much more likely to May in touch if the method is easy. private and quick. So stat1 typing with your thumbs and see how quickly you can become cell-phone-keyboard I iterate. Then ask your kids to help you send and receh e - they'll most likely feel super competent. and so will you. (c) 2009 by King Feature., Syndicate ~uy r]{usse(( Stover.

Times-Call, on consequences of reducing federal withholding rates: When the federal government was bailing out the banks. the auto industry and Wall Street. it also included a token item for most workers: a rollback in federal income tax withholding rates. The intent was to put more money into the economy to forestall an even deeper economic collapse. Many Americans are finding out now. however. that their stimulus comes with mighty large strings attached. The government nO\\ estimates that 15.4 million taxpayers had their withholdings reduced by too much. meaning they will have to pay a htgher tax bill come April 15. About 1.2 mi Ilion could technically face a penalty. according to t~e Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administratiOn. The people most likely to be affected are those who have two jobs and couples in which both spouses work. Others include those who work but also collect Social Security benefits. Of course. the Internal Revenue . Service is downplaying the potential from this misstep. It said far fewer people could face a penalty for having too little withheld, and those who do get penalized should be able to get a waiver because of the problem. The agency also said most people will merely see a smaller tax refund rather than have to cough up the extra money. Though that may be true, the underlying premise is that the government and its legion~> of tax accountants and tax lawyers did not foresee that about one in I 0 tax pay- ers would be affected adversely by the withholding scheme. The adage still proves correct: Beware a deal that seems too good to be true -even when it comes from the federal government. ••• Nov. 23, 2009 - The TimesPicayune, New Orleans, on wrong numbers on stimulus: Giving citizens information on how federal stimulus money is being spent is a good idea. but only if the information itself is accurate, and therein lies the problem with the Web site Recovery.gov. President Barack Obama promised to create the site "so that every American can find out how and where their money is being spent." But the Web site depends on selfreporting by recipients of money from that $787 billion stimulus package. Apparently. some of the people filling out the forms don't have a clue what their congressional district is. And instead of finding out, they've simply picked a number out of the air and put it on their report. That's why the site reports that $5 million has gone to Louisiana ·s 8th Congressional District and $2.8 million to the 22nd Congressional District. even though Louisiana only has seven districts. The Wep site mentions amounts that went to the 12th. 14th. 26th. 32nd and. most puuling of all. the 00 district. The problem isn't limited to Louisiana. Other states have phantom districts on the site. too .... But this self-reporting approach seems like a recipe for bad information. and fixing something with so many reports will be a challenge. If the congressional district number is wrong. other information could be wrong. too. Without better quality control. the Web site is an embarrassment for the administration that doesn't rel)ult in a better informed public and doesn't inspire ' confidence in government. ••• Nov. 25, 2009 - The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, on 9/11 terrorist's American-soil trials: The five terrorists that will be put on trial in an American courtroom' plan to use the event to spread their' virulent views, one of their attorneys admits. We love that the attorney is being so open and honest about it. But as courtroom blockbuster surprises go, this is hardly one of them. The terrorists· plot to use the unwarranted mouthpiece of an American courtr room to spread their bile is so pat. ly obvious that you have to ask: just what the Obama administration wants? Does the Obama administration have that dim a view of America and how it has protected itself against Islamic terrorists that it wants to give five of them a soapbox? Do they hate the Bush-Cheney team so much that they're willing to use terror trials and terrorists to indict the former administration in a pu~lic courtroom? Otherwise. what could possibly be the point of trying enemy combat-. ants in a civilian courtroom? The administration even admits that acquittals won't set the suspected tetTorists free. Again. what is the point? ... It's as if the president of the United States and his attorney generaL Eric Holder. were sympathetic to the terrorists· cause and want to give them a pulpit from which to attack America. �Sunday, November 29, 2009 Obituaries Gallia Co. grand jury indicts 17 .

Bv PAUL BoGGS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES.SENTINEL WELLSTON With Wahama and South Gallia both joining the Tri-VaHey Conference. it's been quite the involvement on the part of Wellston Hi~h School and its athletic d1rector Jeff Hendershott. Wellston High has played a key role in the voting process on league expansion. voting to abstain on one major move while castin!! one of three no-votes on the acceptance of Wahama. In a span of three regular monthly meetings. the TVC voted to accept South Gallia as its 14th member at its June gathering, while also officially welcoming Wahama as the 15th member at it~ September session. In addition, at the same June meeting. the league approved the realignment of Belpre from the Ohio Division of the conference to that of the Hocking Division. All three moves take effect at the outset of the next academic year (20 102011). Those moves also affect the league's ~cheduling. of which Hendershott is the schedule-maker for all sports in all divisions. He was asked by The Jackson County TimesJournal about Wellston's votes. which included accepting South Gallia, abstaining on Belpre. and dem·ing Wahama. The ~three schools join current TVC-Hocking members Federal Hocking, Trimble, .Miller, Eastern, Southern and Waterford for a nine-school division. With Belpre's move to the Hocking, the Ohio Division will have just six ~chools in 2010 - Athens, Alexander, ~elsonville- York. .Meigs, Wellston and Vinton County. The actual membership votes are cast by the league high school principals, of which Wellston's is Mr. Paul Domo. Belpre. a charter member of the TVC '>ince the conference's formation in 1969, is the smallest of the Ohio Division schools in terms of enrollment. Whenever discussion arose of an Ohio Division school dropping down to the Hocking. ~elpre was the first one mentioned. Belpre was approved to join the Hocking Division bv a \Ote of 10-2-1, with Tnmble and Eastern casting the dissenting \Ole~. Hendershott explained whv \Vellston abstamed on the-Belpre ballot. '"The school principals I make up the TVC Board of Control and it is their vote that decide~ membership.'' he said. "From what I remember, the South Gallia and Belpre situation was rushed to a vote, unlike the Jackson and Wahama votes. I had not had a chance to talk with Mr. Domo about it vet. and then he was on ~:acation in ,\1exico. and I 1 could not get in contact "'ith him for hi~ opinion so I abstained." But, he did approve of tho!)e moves. Hendershott said South Gallia's inclu~ion and Belpre·~ S\\ itching divisions made his job as TVC schedule-maker much easier. '"Really, South Gallia's l addition and Belpre·~ move is good for us because it eli1ninates our (Wellston) week eight bye in football. and it also cl iminatcs our furthest TVC-Ohio road trip.'' he said. "This move was done to really eliminate the odd number of teams in the Ohio Division for the football schedule.

But Scott watched the end of the game from the sideline, leaning on crutches, after injuring his ankle late in the rout1h quarter. Temple played \\ ithout star freshman running back Bernard Pierce (shoulder) and struggled to get a passing . game going. Quarterbacks Chester Stewart and Vince Charlton combined to go II of 34 with three interceptions. Matt Brown rushed for 172 yards on 25 carries. including a 9-yard touchdown run in the second ·'They made explosive plays and we did not." Owls coach AI Golden said . "We didn't convert enough on third downs and in the red zone and they did. That was the difference in the ball game: it's as simple as that.'' His first intrastate NFL game has some other personal significance. For the first time. he'll be opposing his best friend. Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe befriended him during a French class in junior high. They teamed up as yuarterback and receiver in high school, then both went to Notre Dame. They talk once a week and planned to go out to dinner the night before the game. Then, Ndukwe will spend 60 minutes trying to pick him off or knock him down. '·We've got to make sure that we do what we've been doing to qumterbacks all season. which is keep them in the pocket and get the pressure on him." Ndukwe said. Cnlike Quinn, the firstplace Bengals know exactly -what their future holds. Cincinnati is a game ahead of Pittsburgh and two ahead of Baltimore. The Bengals hold the head-tohead tiebreakers with both. so they've got the equivalent of a two-game lead with only six to play. The only way they don't make the playoffs is if they selfdestruct. They did exactly that last Sunday in Oakland, fumbling three times and collapsing in the closing min- . utes of a 20-17 defeat that has stuck with them. ''This team hasn't been this frustrated and this mad since I've been here, after wha,t happened last week," said quarterback Carson Palmer. who is 7-2 against Cleveland. "We have a lot of energy right now. We're excited about a chance to pia). And nothing gets that nasty feeling out of the pit of your stomach like getting a chance to play at home against a division team and going 6-0 in the division and all these things that are added onto this game." The game at Oakland was the first of three in a row against struggling teams. which represented a chance for Cincinnati to put it away. After Cleveland. the Bengals host the Lions. Instead of opening up more ground last week. the Bengals ended up running in place. "We still haven't reached that offepse of consistency that we need to make that run at the playoffs,'' Ochocinco said. "We're not there yet. We're just getting by. Good teams beat the teams they're supposed to. When they say you're supposed to win a certam game. the good teams win them. "And we need ~o get on that page."

Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday outside his Florida mansion. and a local police chief said his wife used a golf club to smash out the back window and help get the world's No. I golfer out of the SUV. Woods was treated and released from a hospital in good condition, his spokesman said. The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods' vehicle hit a fire hydrant and a tree in his neighbor's yard as he pulled out of his driveway at 2:25 a.m . Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor told The Associated Press that officers found the 33-year-old PGA star laying in the street with his wife, Elin. hovering over him. She told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and ~·came out and broke the back window with a golf club." Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips, and he had blood in his mouth, Saylor said. The chief said Woods was in and out of consciousness when his two officers rurived. He said the officers held Woods to the ground and "when he woke up, he tried to get up and lost consciousness." He said officers treated Woods for 10 minutes until an ambulance arrived. The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was alone in his 2009 Cadillac when he pulled out of his driveway from his mansion at lsleworth, a gated waterfront community just outside Orlando. The patrol reported Woods' injuries as serious, although Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan issued a statement that Woods was treated and released. The patrol said alcohol was not involved. although the accident remains under inve&tigation and charges could be filed. Left unanswered was where Woods was going at that hour. Greenspan and agent Mark Steinberg said there would be no comment beyond the short .statement of the accident on Woods' Web site. Woods, coming off a t..A week trip to China Jff'-. Australia earlier this month. is host of the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks. Calif., which starts Thursday. He is scheduled to have his press conference Tuesday afternoon at Sherwood Country Club. Steinberg said he did not know if Woods planned to play next week. The accident report was not released until nearly 12 hours after Woods was injured. Patrol spokesman, Kim Montes said the accident did not meet the criteria of a serious crash. and the FHP only put out a pres!i release because of inquiries from local media. Montes said the patrol reports injuries as serious if they require more than minor medical attention. Air bags in the SUV did not deploy. Investigators still have . had a chance to speak Woods, but when they do, "we will ask him everything," Montes said. ''We just haven't had a chance to do so because he was being medically treated." Montes said charges could be filed if there was a clear traffic violation, although troopers still do not know what caused Woods' SUV to hit the hydrant and the tree. The Orlando Sentinel reported that an orange and white barricade sat on top of a hole in front of Woods' home. About 10 feet away, there was a tire track near an oak tree in his neighbor's yard. The tree had a few scuff marks but was largely unscathed. We remember those who have passed away and are especially dear to us.

Detroit won 38·37. This is nothing like the pits and you guys know what I refer to. I have seen the baddest of the bad." Edwards was traded to the Jets from Cleveland earlier this season, and none of his former teammates wanted to be drawn into a war of words. ··sorry to hear that," linebacker David Bowens said. ''Braylon's not here no more. If that's how he feels. then that's how he feels. There are far worse places than here." Cleveland's defense has given up more yards than any team. It ranks 26th against the pass. 29th against the run and is 28th in points allowed. Through 10 games, the defense has allowed 45 plays of 20 yards or more. including six in the loss last week to Detroit. It's concerning again this week, because 11 of Ochocinco 's 50 catches have gone for at least 20 yards. Ryan blames the bulk of the big plays on a lack of tackling. "You have to be able to get a guy down." Ryan said. ·'You don't have to knock his mouth guard out, but you need to get him on the ground." · The Browns claimed linebacker Matt Roth off waivers from Miami bulk up the defense. Roth said he is happy to be out of Miami after what he termed a falling out with the Dolphins. He totaled 158 tackles and 12 1/2 sacks in five seasons in Miami. He sta11ed a career-high 14 games last season. three years after the Dolphins selected hirn in the second round of the draft. Roth said he and the Dolphins parted on bad terms. The tt:am said it was strictly a football decision, but Roth said Friday the Dolphins questioned whether he was really hun after he missed all of training camp with a groin injury.

Ryan said he was surprised a player of Roth's caliber was available on waivers this late in the season.

W.Va. (AP) - Noel Devine rushed for 134 yards and Tyler Bitancurt kicked four field goals. including a 43-yarder as time expired to lift West Virginia to a 19-1 6 win over No. 8 Pittsburgh on Friday night. West Virginia (8-3, 4-2 Big East) halted Pittsburgh's five-game winning streak and got a small measure of revenge for the last Backyard Brawl played in Morgantown. Back in 2007, the Mountaineers were a win away from playing for a national title when a sub-.500 Pitt team upset Pat White and Co. in Rich Rodriguez's last game as West Virginia coach. This loss was not nearly as damaging for the Panthers (9-2. 5-1), who can still earn the conference's Bowl Championship Series berth with a win at home next week against No. 5 Cincinnati. The Bearcats beat Illinois 49-36 earlier Friday. Pittsburgh was held out of the end zone on five drives inside the West Virginia 30 until Bill Stull found Jonathan Baldwin with a 50yard TD toss with 2:541eft to tie the score at 16-16. That gave Jarrett Brown enough time to move West Virginia 42 yards into position for the winning field goal. Dion Lewis ran for 155 yards and Dan Hutchins kicked three field goals for the Panthers. Lewis. the nation's fourth-best rusher, surpassed 100 yards for the sixth straight game. It marked the fourth straight game that West Virginia's defense had allowed a I 00yard rusher. West Virginia earned its first win over a top-1 0 team since beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl following the 2007 season. The Mountaineers also completed TVC fromPageBl 2010." Startins next season. the TVC-Oh10 schedule - no longer with league byes from week four on - starts the second half of the year. It is a return to the former format, which began with the 1993 season and ertded after 2007. The TVC split into the Ohio and Hocking Divisions beginning with the 1993-94 academic year, and with Waterford's acceptance into the TVCHocking in 1997 for an even-numbered dozen schools, Alexander moved up to the Ohio Division. The TVC-Ohio football byes were brought about by the addition of Athens in 2008. It was learned in midMay that South Gallia had applied for the TVC. On June 9, all 13 of the league schools voted to accept it. South Gallia. which first formed in the fall of 1996, is the consolidation of the Hannan Trace and Southwestern school districts. It has competed as an independent program since its inception. The Rebels have explored joining small-school leagues before, and have played most of the current Hocking Division schools on a regular basis in nonleague competition. ' Wahama - a fellow independent program and located in Mason, W.Va.- then formerly asked to join the TVC during the league's August meeting. and was approved for entry at the meeting in September. The addition means the Hocking, and the conference as a whole. will have an odd number of teams. ''That was the chief question," Federal Hocking athletic director John Murphy told The Athens Messen~er in a Sept. 18 article. 'Is Wahama joining the league worth the headache that will come with scheduling for an odd number of teams?" The bulk of the TVC thought it was. Only three schools voting - Belpre, Wellston an<.l Waterford - voted against the measure, and South Gallia could not vote because it was not yet a fulltime member.

West Virginia ran seven halftime. 35 yards to set up Bitancurt's Hendershott explained that the scheduling prob. !ems initially fixed by Belpre switching divisions became broken again by the league accepting Wahama. ''Wahama was invited to our August TVC meeting to petition for membership this after all we went through to even up the divisions to shore up the football schedules. Adding Wahama meant that the Hocking would be uneven and then they would take on a bye week in footbalL" he said. "I explained to them in meetings that you don't want th1s. and it would be a bad move for the conference. It's nothing at all against Wahama. they're a fine school. But we did all this work to get things even. and now all the Hocking schedules would have to be redone again. The Hocking (Division schools) listened to the O~io complain for at least two years about how difficult it can be to find a week seven, eight. nine or 10 opponent when most schools are in league play. That's why Wellston voted no." Hendershott's Hocking headache had just begun. Each football team will have eight league games. a non-league game m week one, and then a second nonleague game sometime during the rest of the season. When that second nonleague game will fall will rotate yearly. "In making up the 'new' Hocking football schedule with Wahama, I had many requests from schools about when they wanted their bye week. No school volunteered for weeks six, seven, eight or nine. South Gallia and Wahama volunteered for Week 10.'' he said. "This was a very complex schedule to complete because of the odd number of teams. bye weeks. the already set home and away rotation between schools that had to be considered and the new set week 10 rivalries that were established.'' Those regular-season finale rivalries include Federal ' Hocking and Trimble of .Athens County, Belpre and Waterford of Washington County and Southern and Eastern of Meigs County. W1th the addition of South Gallia and Wahama, the 15 members mark the most in the 40-year history of the conference. Federal Hocking, Vinton County and Warren were the other 'charter members, and Nelsonville-York was admitted a year later. With the admissions of Alexander (1973). Trimble (1978). Wellston (1982). Meigs ( 1983) and Miller ( 1983), the league reached double digits in the number of schools before Warren withdrew membership in 1986. .

Pike's fifth touchdown pass put Cincinnati up 4220 in the third quarter and tied the school record set by Gino Guidugli - the older brother of the tight end. who watched from the stands as his record fell. ··He was happy because I was part of it," Ben Guidugli said. "I don't think he has any ba<.l feelings about it." Illinois also got its starting quarterback back from injury. Juice Williams missed most of the last two games with an injured left ankle. He threw for three touchdowns and ran for another. but couldn't match Cincinnati's breakneck scoring pace.

(On the Web: . www.rio.edu) Robotic hamsters are holidays' unlikely new craze BY MAE ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - When· Lori Fowlkes first saw robotic Zhu Zhu Pets toy hamsters in September, she remembers her kids started jumping up and down and ~ saying "Please! Please! Can we buy them?" Seeing a fully stocked shelf. she decided to hold off until Christmas. That was ··before I knew • that the hamsters would ~ soon be off the she! ves and more scarce than an H 1N I vaccine," said Fowlkes, 32. Now she can't find them anywhere. Zhu Zhu Pets, which • retatl for about $10. are tliis year's bona fide must• ha-ve toy. following in the footsteps of past crazes for Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch Kids. On • resale Web s-if'es like eBay · and Craigslist, they fetch . $40 or more. Vital acces• sories as the hamster car : and funhouse are sold separately. By many counts. the toy is an unlikely hit. They're 111 a field crowded with toy : pets. The hamsters. which :scurry around, make nois• es and drive cars don't always work the way you expect and have a limited range of action. : "Honestly. I don't really ·get it." said BMO Capital :Markets analyst Gerrick • John~on. "But I don't need ·to get it for a toy to be hot." : The toys do have several 'factors that make them com• pclling. Johnson said: fun : accessories and scarcity :sometimes when something • j, hard to ontain it makes -people want it more. f\nd they have one big thing going for them in tough economic times: They're cheap. 'The last couple of years the robotic pet has been very popular. but those have been very expensive," like Hasbro's $250 robotic dinosaur Kota the Triceratops, he said. '·But here's a version of a robotic pet that only costs $10 .'' Hasbro's line of lowerpriced Furrepl Friends robotic animals have not hit the same chord, perhaps because they still cost more. are immobile and don't have any accessories. Zhu Zhu Pets, aimed at 3to 10-year-olds, have rushed in to fill the void. But unlike past ''It" toys made by large manufacturers like Mattei's Tickle Me Elmo and Tiger Electronic's Furby, Zhu Zhu Pets are made by tiny Cepia Inc. of St. Louis. with just 16 employees in the U.S. and 30 in China, making their success even more unlikely. CREATION OF A CRAZE Just six years old, Cepia previously worked on an electronic dispensing device for consumer products before turning to toys and its only other product. a line of light-up bears called Glo-E Bears. The company was started by toy industry \'et Russ Hornsby, 56. The success of Zhu Zhu Pets wasn't entirely accidental. After being inspired by classic robotic toys. like the barking puppy dog who flips, Hornsby created a prototype. Stores in Phoenix were ·used as a test bed in May. The company got the word out with a savvy mix of local cable ads and parties thrown by "mommy bloggers ." Hornsby said he was hoping to sell three to four pets per store per week, but was secretly hoping for eight. The result, Hornsby said, was exponentially higher. though he wouldn't say how much. "The rate was so astonishing everybody had to go back and pinch themselves," Hornsby said. Toys R Us pulled all of the test data to make sure it wasn't being manipulated, Hornsby said. That gave a running start to Cepia's national rollout in August. Ads on cable stations Nickelodeon. Cartoon Network and Disney XD have proved to be catnip to kids. ·'My daughter saw a commercial for them on Nickelodeon or one of the kid channels and instantly wanted it.'' said Tara Purdy Callender, 21. Her daughter's 6th birthday is on Nov. 25 and "all she wants is Zhu pets.'' lamented Zhu Callender, whose search has been fruitless so far. KEEPING UP WITH DEMAND For parents, the hamster hunt is intense. A Facebook fan site tracks parent's search for the toys. Hornsby said he recently got a call at 4 a.m. on his cell phone from a mom asking for hamsters. Calls have also been received at the store's Chinese base from parents trying to go straight to the source . "They're calling because they're upset and they feel we're not doing a good enough job getting merchandise on the shelves," Hornsby said. But with retailers being extra cautious with orders this year following the dismal holiday season last year, the maker has had to scramble to make enough to ~atch up to demand. Toy analyst Jim Silver at Timetoplaymag.com said it was late fall by the time Cepia and retailers realized how popular the toys were. and by that time it was difficult to increase production. "You can't just go to China and flip a switch.'' he said. But in the past three months, the company has added three more factories in China. ··we're all working so hard right now to try to fulfill this." Hornsby said. "Retailers are airlifting in millions of products.'' a rare and expensive move for stores. Even if the product remains impossible to tind for the holidays, the craze sets Cepia up for a strong 20 I0. Hornsby estimates the company will sell $100 million in Zhu Zhu Pets by the end of the year. It's always hard to tell how long a toy will stay hot. but based on bookings. he says that \Viii grow to $350 million to $400 million by the end of next year as production ramps up. BMO analyst Johnson agreed 2010 will be big for Zhu Zhu Pets. "I don't know what Chinese New Year is coming up. but as far as toys are concerned next year will be the year of the hamster." SANDS From 1915 to 1935. West Virginia Wesleyan College played an ambitious football schedule that included the . likes of West Virginia, Navy, Syracuse, NYU and others. In 1924. the Wesleyan Bobcats beat SMC' in the Dixie Bowl held in Dallas. Texas. They· had also beaten Navy, Kentucky and Syracuse. A number of professional players came out of Wesleyan in this era. including Pete Calac, Greasy Neale and Cliff Battles. Also coming to Wesleyan in that era were the four Bachtel brothers, all of whom are now members of the Wesleyan Hall of Fame. The Bachtels and Cliff Battles all played at Akron Kenmore High School. Battles later played for the Redskins in the NFL. first in Boston and later in Washington. In 1933 and 1937, Battles led the NFL in rushing. At the end of the 1937 season, the owner, intent on signing Sammy Baugh, refused to negotiate with Battles until Baugh was signed . Battles got mad and quit. He joined Lou Little's coaching staff at Columbia University and made more money than he made with the Redskins, even though before Baugh came Battles was the star of the team. Battles later coached the Brooklyn team in the AllAmerican Conference before en~ering the business world around Washington. where he was buried in 1981. Pallbearers at his funeral inclu<.led U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron ''Whiz7.er'' White and former Redskins quarterbacks Sonny Jurgenson and Ralph Gugliemi. Battles, a Phi Beta Kappa at Wesleyan, was later elected to the College Football Hall of Fame and . Pro Football Hall of Fame. Forrest Bachtel, who graduated from Wesleyan in 1930, was also a Phi Beta Kappa. In fact, Bachtel graduated first in both his high school and college classes. Bachtel later became prominent in Meigs and Mason counties as a coach and educator. Bachtel. who was named Honorable Mention AllAmerica in 1929, started his teaching career in Chester, W.Va. Soon he moved to Wahama High School where he served as principal, coach and superintenaent. The football field at Wahama High was later named in his honor. In 1943. Bachtel became the coach at Pomeroy High School, but in 1944 he moved to\ Middleport. Ironically, both the 1943 and 1944 Thanksgiving Day football games between the schools ended in ties. Bachtel's football teams at Middleport won the SEOAL in 1945 and again in 1949. Bachtel's basketball and baseball teams also won championships. In 1949, Forrest Bachtel was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Some 60 years ago this month he announced his retirement as a coach since he could barely walk. His last game was on Thanksgiving Day against Pomeroy. The game ended in a 13-13 tie. At the football banquet that year, Bachtel stated, "Never have I eworked at a plac~ where I heard Jess criticism, and a place where my family enjoyed the treatment we ha've received from Middlepmt. The people have been marvelous to us and we want to sta.•· here a long time. Coaching is not an ea~y racket, but ~ certainly has given me a lot of things to be thankful for and a lot of kicks in the pants.'' Bachtel continued his teaching career at Middleport. eventually having to teach his math courses from a wheelchair. It was said that in time Bachtel memorized the textbooks on Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus. During his years in Middleport, Bachtel also served as a Sunday school teacher and Sunday school superintendent at what is now called Heath United Methodist Church . In the mid 1950s, Bachtel had to ~ive up teaching in the school. but he tutored students m his home. From 1957 until his death on Nov. 9, 1967, Bachtel was a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. With an erector set and eraser mounted on a doctor's headband, he taught himself to type. This .was how he communicated. People said that Bachtel lived and died with dignity. He never complained. Bachtel was largely forgotten by many local residents, th~t is until 2004 when Dr. Harry Kreig established a $500,000 scholarship in Forrest Bachtel's name. Kreig, a Vietnam War veteran and once a student under Bachtel, had a successful medical career in Nebraska, but in 2003 died of a brain tumor. The scholarship is administered by the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, which is based in Nelsonville. • Breakfast with Santa., Craft Sale & Tour of Houses ~~ ·~ .& ~~ Guarding Angels Childcare Center is hosting a Breakfast with Santa, Craft Sale & Tour of Houses for the Christmas Season.

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. - Struggling to pair wine with your Thanksgiving spread? Consider looking to that jiggling cylinder of cranberry sauce - or even your horn of plenty centerpiece - for inspiration. Wines made from truits other than grapes - long considered overly sweet plonk - are taking a sophisticated tum as more small vintners experiment with wines crafted from pears. peaches, apples, cherries. blueberries. black cmTants and cranbenies. "People are surprised, and surprised is often good." says Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation. a trade group . "The whole secret is, does it smell and taste like the fruit that it's made from? "I don't think it has a reputation problem to surmoun~. maybe an awareness problem," he says. Long popular with home winemakers. fruit wines are more numerous in cooler climates. such as the Northeast and Upper Midwest. but offerings pop up from China and the Czech Republic to Florida, where Trezise has judged competitions featuring star fruit, kiwi and grapefruit wines. At least 50 of New York's 273 wineries are branching into fruit wines, a tiny but growing segment of the U.S. wine industry. And the quality now is good enough that last year the New York Wine & Food Classic, the state's top wine contest, added a fruit wine category. While fruit wines often are assumed to be sweet or onedimensional. "the best ones are medium dry and very pleasant.'' says Trezise. ''A perfectly ripe apple is medium dry. The sugar gives the nice sen~ation of fruit and the acid gives you the tart. That's what a good fruit wine is like, it's very much in balance." Bill Mat1in switched from commercial beekeeping to makin!! fruit and honey wines a decade ago. opening Montezuma Winery next door to a namesake national wildlife refuge outside Seneca Falls in west-central New York's Finger Lakes wine country. His prizewinning Cranberry Bog "starts sweet because it's very high in residual sugar," Mahin said. "But it's high in acid, too. So it balances out quickly and has this distinctive tart finish. which pairs very well with food." In Montezuma's tasting room, Celeste Brianne Satie. 52. of Cincinnati, a disccming wine drinker who favors rich cabemets and merlots, was reluctant to check out the cranberry wine. "I have a problem with anything flavored which, to me, tastes artificial.'' she said. "I thought. 'I'm not going to like this.' And then once that sweetness went away, it had the perfect flavor of crunching a sharp. tangy cranberry in my mouth. This one hit it right on the head." ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) - Fifty year'S from now, if 14year-old Bronson Bush looks back on a show business career, he won't mind a bit saying he got his start with a bit part in a cartoon. · "Just as long as I get my start," he said. "The whole business is being in the right place at the right time, with the right people and singing the right song." ~The bi!! break seemingly came Saturday morning. At a time when most kids his age are tucking into their second bowl of froot Loops. Bush was sitting on the stage of the Paramount Arts Center with an assemblage of Hollywood talent. preparing for the premiere of an animated feat. called "Elf Sparkle Meets Christmas the Horse." \ His part is minor, voicing one of Santa's helper elves singing one of the cartoon's musical numbers. But it was enough to bring the premiere and some of the principal actors to Ashland an·d the Paramount. The premiere kicked off on the first day of the Paramount's Festival of Trees and Trains. with introduc~ tions of some of the actors to polite applause. The clapping kicked up a notch when Bush. clad in black tux, red vest and red tie, stepped through the curtain and sang his cartoon number, "Christmas in Our Village:· · He got his part in the cartoon when Nashville. Tenn., vocal coach Jessica Ford suggested him to Beth Roose. the producer and screenwriter. Roose. who originally is from Owensboro, said Bush was right for the part. "He's so full of energy, and heaps. loads and bounds of talent." she said. Roose developed the plot from stories she created as a volunteer for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in not1hem Ohio, which recreates "The Polar Express'' at Christmastime. A ranger in the national park where it operates suggested she compile her stories and make them into cartoons. ''Thus the series was born," she said. In casting, she looked for actors with "wholesome family appeal." Among them are Jon Provost, whom readers of a certain age will remember as Timmy. rescued from certain death on a weekly basis by Lassie; Margaret O'Brien, an Academy Award winner who appeared in the Judy Garland classic "Meet Me in St. Louis;" and John • Lancie, whom Trekkies will recognize for his portrayal the quirky "Q" in "Star Trek, the Next Generation.'' Provost and de Lancie didn't make it to Ashland but sent video greetings for the premiere. One who did make the trip was Edward Faulkner, whose name may not be immediately recognizable but whose face is, at least to anyone who had the TV. on just about anytime in the 1960s or 1970s. lOWELL HARDWARE Rt. 160 Bidwell!.

Controversy erupted over newly-adopted school textbooks. School buildings were hit by dynamite. buses were riddled with bullets. jpurnalists \vere beaten, and surrounding coal mines were shut down by protest ing miners. Textbook supporters thought they would introduce students to new ideas about literature and multiculturalism. Opponents felt the books undermined traditional American values. The controversy extended \VCII beyond the Kanawha Valley. and the newly-formed Heritage Foundation found a cause to rally an emerging national Christian conservative movement. To commemorate the 35th niversary of this controver-' • sial issue. the Kanawha Valley Historical and Preservation Society offers a traveling exhibit which will be on display at Bossard Library from Dec. L7 through noon on Dec. 30. The display consists of four panels: • Books and Beliefs: presents the chronological account of the controversy, primarily from April 11 to Debbie Saunders Nov. 21. 1974. • II. and Ill: What the Textbook Supporters Believed and What the Textbook Protesters Believed • History in the Making: Why the.Controversy Matters Many of the photos used in the exhibit have not been published or displayed since 1974. There will also be a 22-minute loop of archival news that will feature most of the major participants in the controversy, as well as national and regional news reports reflecting the impact outside the Kanawha Valley.

B Y MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS "American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonio Scalia'' (Sarah Crichton Books, 448 pages. $28), by Joan Biskupic: The last time veteran Supreme Court reporter Joan Biskupic wrote a biography of a justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, she promptly retired. Safe to say, Biskupic has little to worry about this time around with the publication of her balanced look at 73-year-old Justice Antonin Scalia. who could serve another decade with good health. ··American Original'' the title is a play on Scalia's method of interpreting the Constitution as it was originally understood - traces Scalia's life from his begi.'1nings as the precocious only child of Italian immigrants to his role as the adored (by the right), outspoken bulwark of the court's conservative bloc. Scalia is more frequently in the majority now than at any point in his 23 years on the court and seemingly at the peak of his influence. His most important opinion so far was last year's decision establishing an individual's right to keep and bear arms for self defense. which struck down he strict District of Columbia gun control law and could end up causing such laws to be rewritten elsewhere. Biskupic rightly attributes Scalia's greater prominence to the changed, more con- In 'this book cover image released by Sarah Crichton Books, "American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia" by Joan Biskupic is shown.

When O'Connor retired and was replaced by Justice Samuel Alito in 2006, Scalia gained a reliable ally and a crucial fifth vote in cases involving abortion, race and campaign finance restrictions that simply wasn't available before then. Biskupic also makes quite a strong case that among Scalia's biggest fans is the justice himself. ''It takes courage not to be politically correct,'' he said. "If you're a coward, that's your fault." On this score, Biskupic has plenty of material to work with, a seemingly unending list of greatest hits of sharp words and outright insults including the infamous Sicilian chin flick - that he has doled out over the years to other justices, reporters, lawyers and members of the public whose questions rub him the wrong way. A recent case in point: A 20-year-old college student at an event in Florida to promote Scalia's book on advocacy asked why justices refuse to open their courtroom to cameras even as they take to the road to sell books. "That's a nasty. impolite question," he snapped. Explaining his reaction to Biskupic later. Scalia was unapologetic. ''I'm doing her a favor to answer her question," he said. "I shouldn't have to put up with her abuse." Such episodes lead the ATTENTION CONTRACTORS & HOME OWNERS Avoid a 50% penalty each year Building Notice (!)p etP/7lOu,ye ,J(rltll•tlqy.

Don't be put off by how long it takes: Unless you are interested in flowering or fruiting. you can expect plenty of shoot growth from most young trees and shrubs. And even if years are required, shouldn't some aspects of gardening be a long-term proposition? VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF ... See~-gro~n pla~ts. l:lnlike cuttings and grafts, are not genetiC replicas of thetr parents, so each new plant is a gen~tic individual: just like each child in a human family. Wtth some spec1es. such as green ash, each seedling may be noticeably different from the others in form or leaf color. At the other extreme is Amur honeysuckle, all seedlings of which appear almost identical to each other, superficially at least, and to their parents. You can buy tree and shrub seeds mail-order or collect them yourself. In the case of a tree or shrub with a wide natural range, increase the likelihood that the seedlings will be adapted to your backyard by choosing seeds from plants growing under similar weather and soil conditions as those in your yard. OVERCOMING INHIBITIONS · Obtaining seed is just the first step in growing a tree or shrub. Most seeds need pretreatment before they will sprout and grow. Seeds that ripen in autumn generally just sit after planting until they experience enough cold that they feel winter is over. If they grew immediately, the tender young seedlings would be killed by the first frosty night. You can fool such seeds into sprouting by giving them an artificial winter. Pack them into plastic bags along with slightly moist potting soil, then put the bags in a refrigerator for a couple of months. Of course, you also could give the seeds a real winter, sowing them directly in the ground outside, but that exposes them to squirrels, birds, flooding and other natural hazards. Another common roadblock to germination is a hard ~eedcoat that's impervious to water. Make such seeds permeable to water by nicking them with a file, or soften them by packing them into plastic bags with potting soil for two or three months at room temperature. Some seeds - honeylocust, locust and Kentucky coffeetree, for example- sprout right after this treatment. Others, such as redbud, juniper and hophornbeam, need the cool, moist treatment after their seedcoats are made permeable. • ;And then there are those tree and shrub seeds that sprout wtthout any pretreatment at all. Catalpa and sycamore ripen in autumn. but sprout almost as soon as they touch ground - which may not happen under natural conditions until $pring. Seeds that ripen in the spring, such as silver maple and red maple. also need no treatments. PLANT WITH FORETHOUGHT Once seeds are ready for planting, perhaps already sprouting, they are ready to plant outside. If outdoor weather is still too cold, hold back growth by keeping the seeds refrigerated, or pot them up in containers in potting soil. Keep growing plants in containers in a cool room exposed to as much light as possible. When it comes time to move a potted tree or shrub outdoors, acclimate the plant gradually, with increasing exposure to sun, wind and cold, just as you would with tomato seedlings. Before planting a seedling tree or shrub in its permanent !<?cation, t~y to picture the plant 30 years hence. That spectal affectiOn you can develop for a woody plant raised from seed makes it especially hard to cut down, even if it is in the wrong place. "Tall oaks from little acorns grow." Likewise for maples, sycamores , junipers and others. New York apple growers leaving more fruit on trees BY CAROLYN THOMPSON ASSbCfATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y.- New York's apple orchards are being carpeted with red as unpicked apples drop to the ground. With the best of the crop off to market, growers say this year it's cheaper to leave leftovers on the trees than to pick and sell them for juice. While that's happened before, it's a far cry from last year when growers stripped branches bare and collected top dollar. "There wasn't an apple left in western New York last year," said Bruce Kirby, who runs a small orchard in Orleans County. Even the lowly ''drops" - apples that fall on their own -: were in demand. This year, growers can't give those away. One reason is an abundant crop, not only in New York but in neighboring Pennsylvania and nearby Michigan, which has produced more second-tier fruit than juice and applesauce makers need and driven down market prices. When labor and transportation costs are factored in, selling anything but the cream of the crop for the supermarket c~ become a losing proposition. · "In some cases it's not worth the bother of picking them off the tree," said Peter Gregg, spokesman for the New York Apple Association. The difference in prices is the biggest one-year swing some have ever seen. Last year, growers hurt by severe hailstorms were getting an above-average 12-18 cents per pound for processing apples, those sold for sauce and slices. The price is about 5-8 cents this year. Juice apples, including drops, brought 7 or 8 cents a pound last year, compared with 3 or 4 cents this year, and there are so many of them that juicers aren't even buying drops, Kirby said. "' "The market and the prices were very strong last year, strong~r than average," said Diane Kurrle. a U.S. Apple Association spokeswoman, "and they're below average this year." Kirby estimates he left 1,000 bushels in his 40-acre orchard. · "I would venture to say every single grower who has an orchard in this state left something," he said. • It happens all the time in Washington, the only. state that produces more apples than New York, said Todd Fryhover, president of the Washington Apple Commission. There, a higher percentage of apples are grown strictly for eating with less attention to processing. A small percentage of growers in Michigan, the No.3 apple sta!e, are leaving apples in the fields, with those who grow more for the processing market feeling the biggest strain. said Apple Committee Executive Director Denise Donohue. Pennsylvania growers, too, say low prices have hurt, but they still picked almost all of this season's fruit, according to Karen Rodriguez of the state's Apple Marketing Program. Much of it will feed the steady demand of Knouse Foods. a large, grower-owned co-op which produces Lucky Leaf and Musselman products. "I don't know of anyone that left apples on the trees." Rodriguez said. . Olive~ . . AP photo ready to be mechanically harvested for.ohve oil are shown at California Olive Ranch in Artois, Tuesday, Nov. 17.1n the d1stance are the new hedgerow-style plantmgs that allow for mechanical harvesting. Olives can be picked and crushed inside of 90 minutes. In 10 years California officials say the 12,500 acres of olives for oil planted in hedgerow style w. grow to 100,000 acres. New olive planting method prompts Calif. oil boom BY TRACIE CONE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTOIS, Calif. -An oil boom is under way in California's agricultural heartland, as evolving tastes and a trend toward healthy fare have transformed a profession as old as civilization: olive production for the extra virgin market. Gnarly trees picked by hand are being supplanted. This year, California's olive oil production will top 1 million gallons for the first time, the lion's share from 8-foot trees planted in hedgerows and mechanically harvested, then pressed into oil within 90 minutes. Growers have invested millions laying the groundwork to become a player in the global olive oil market, now controlled by Spain, Italy and Greece. In the past 10 years, roughly 7.5 million trees have been tightly planted on 12.500 acres, an experiment growers hope will make California olive oil cheaper and fresher than that of their competitors. State officials estimate that in another decade there will be lOO ,000 acres of hedgerow trees producing 20 million gallons of oil to help sate Americans' 75 million gallons-a-year thirst - 99.99 percent of it now imported. "There's a promising future ahead for this crop." says Dan Flynn, head of the Olive Research Center at "With the UC-Davis. growth in olive plantings. California could emerge as a world leader in a relatively short period of time. It might take 20 years. but that's how long it took with the other crops." The "other crops" are almonds and canning tomatoes, once the domain of Spain and Italy but now controlled by California growers, who have the economic advantage of producing on large-scale farms. California's oil boom results from a convergence of events that coincided with the new plantings: a chronic drought prompting farmers to seek water-sipping crops, consumers' shift toward fresh foods, their focus on heart-healthy oils, and recent findings that some oil imported as "extra virgin" might be of a lesser quality - if it's olive oil at all. "A lot of people believe that what is being sold as 'extra virgin olive oil' doesn't make the grade," says Flynn. A lack of government regulators allows importers to take advantage of Americans' less-discerning palates, he says. "The best oil stays in Europe," says Claude S. WeiHer of California Olive Ranch. "because Europeans, who use a lot more oil per capita than we do, are more demanding." Californians have grown olives since the mission padres planted them along their route north. Boutique crushers create limited amounts of prized oil from century-old trees, and Lindsay near Fresno is the capital of the black canned olive market. But until the past decade, there hasn't been a move to build the oil equivalent of wine's Gallo to satisfv the U.S. massmarket demand. "Everyone makes it the boutique way and it doesn't scale," WeiHer says. "They make great oil, but not great oil available to ,300 million Americans, so the industry has been kind of stuck:· In 2003, planting took off after years of tests showed hedgerows that cram 600 trees to an acre, instead of 150, produce olives just as flavorful. In 2007, the value of olives in California increased by 378 percent over 2006, and olives jumped from 66 to 43 on the list of California's top 400 commodities. Of the three Central Valley processors planting hedgerows. the largest is California Olive Ranch, with headquarters in Oroville and a 1 million gallon crushing plant here in Artois. In each of the past three years. the company. with 10,000 acres and counting, has doubled its production. This month food lovers· esteemed Cook's Illustrated magazine rated their "nutty. fruity" oil, which sells in half-liter bottles online for $13.97. just a fraction of a point under their testkitchen favorite Columela from Spain. which retails for $22.95 at Sur Ia Table. The company's oils are distributed in California, but officials hope for nationwide distribution as productiCUl ramps up. "Over time, we will be producing oil at a cost lower than our competitors,'' says Weiller. vice president of sales and marketing. '·If they don't change their production methods, we have a leg up. If they do, we have a thre. to-four year advantage." . or email your favorite recipe to the Gallipolis Daily T· or The Daily Sentinel to be included in our "Taste of the Tri County'' holiday cookbook.
