Today's Highlight in History: On Dec. 19, 1843, "A Christmas Carol." by Charles Dickens, was first published in England. On this date: In 1777 , Gen. George Washington led his army of about 11,000 men to Valley Forge, Pa.; to camp for the winter. In 1907, 239 workers died in a coal mine explosion in . Jacobs Creek. Pa. In 1946', war broke out in Indochina as troops under Ho Chi Minh launched widespread attacks against the French. In 1972 , Apollo 17 splashed down in the Pacific, winding up the Apollo program of manned lunar landings. In 1974,Nelson A. Rockefeller was sworn in as the 41st vice president of the United States. Thought for Today: " Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them." - Paul Valery, French poet and critic (1871-1945).

Today's Highlight in History: On Dec. 19, 1843, "A Christmas Carol." by Charles Dickens, was first published in England. On this date: In 1777 , Gen. George Washington led his army of about 11,000 men to Valley Forge, Pa.; to camp for the winter. In 1907, 239 workers died in a coal mine explosion in . Jacobs Creek. Pa. In 1946', war broke out in Indochina as troops under Ho Chi Minh launched widespread attacks against the French. In 1972 , Apollo 17 splashed down in the Pacific, winding up the Apollo program of manned lunar landings. In 1974,Nelson A. Rockefeller was sworn in as the 41st vice president of the United States. Thought for Today: " Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them." - Paul Valery, French poet and critic (1871-1945).

Unexpected generosity is A·Hunger For More ___,·;: evergreen: The Christmas tree The Daily Sentinel My mother claimed victory over cancer 25 years ago by going home to be with her Lord Jesu.~ Christ. If I have any talent in writing, it ·comes .from her. I shared this story last year at Chrisrmas, and I think I will ·make it my annual Chrisrmas tradition - the slulring of "The Christmas Tree ." Merry Christmas! They were young; they were poor; and it was almost Christmas . Joe and Mary had experienced more than their share of difficulties that year. Because of Mary's illness, the doctor bills were eating into their small salary with preciou s little left over for the necessities - much less the luxuries like · Christmas . But there was the child to consider: little Joey was only three, yet surely he deserved some sort of Christmas. Mary scrimped on the grocery budget and managed to save a tiny sum. Together she and Joe went downtown to the variety store. It was filled to overflowing .with dolls, games, trucks and cars. Little Joey's eyes sparkled as they pushed him up and down the aisles. Then he saw it the item that captured his heart. It was a small red cowboy hat. Mary's own heart leaped for joy! It only cost 98 cents. They could afford the hat, plus a set of toy guns. and still have two dollars left to buy a tree. After all, a little boy needs a tree even if he is only two. Joe and Mary hurried over to the Christmas tree lot. Silently Mary prayed, "Please God, let us find a tree for only two dollars." Even back then, that wasn't very much money with . . which to buy a tree. It was nearly Christmas Eve, so they knew the trees would be pretty well picked over. When the family arrived at the tree lot. they discovered only five trees Friday, December 19,2008 Pastor Kerry Wood were left. Still. when there are five trees - four must be eliminated . Alone on the lot , they spent as much time picking out their tree as they would have if a dozen trees were under .examination. Finally they chose one of the trees · that everyone ·else had rejected . Joe 's heart . was in his throat as he approached the tent to pay for the tree . He had looked everywhere for a price tag , but found nothing. In fact, there wasn't a sign anywhere on the Christmas tree lot telling the prices of the trees. Joe looked in the tent, but it was empty. Because it was such a cold day, he thought perhaps the salesman had gone to the drugstore across the street for a cup of coffee. "Mary. you and Joey wait . in the car while I run across the street and pay for the tree," Joe said. And with those words he was off. It's hard not to be excited at Christmas when Y"ll 're young , even when you're poor. So Mary and Joey sang Christmas carols and discussed Santa Claus while they waited. · It didn't take long for Joe to return. He opened the tmnk of the car and placed the scrawny little tree inside .' .He got into the car. Mary looked at him expectantly. "How much did the tree cost, Joe?" Slowly a tear slid down Joe'srough cheek. "Mary, it was free! The man who owns the lot leaves the last few trees each year for those who .can't afford ,to buy one. Our tree didn't cost us ·anything'" Suddenly - they weren't poor anymore. They had gifts for Joey. They had a Christmas tree. They had two dollars . And they had each other. That night, after the tree was decorated with their small supply of hand-medown ornaments. the family admired their handiwork . Joey's eyes were nearly as bright as the star on .top of the tree. The red, bl uc. green and yellow lights created a soft glow. · Joe and Mary thought their hearts would · burst with joy. They reached to one another and gently touched hands. Before long . Joey - being a typical little boy - sat down in the middle bctwe.en them : They knelt, held hands and bowed their heads while Joe said a prayer. "Dear God, thank you for Mary and Joey. Thank you for our beautiful Christmas tree. thank you that you love us and take care of this little family .. Thank you for sending Jesus. whose birthday we are cel~brating." ••• Years have come and gone. Other children joined the family, and money was never quite so scarce.

' Bv RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Most teams triumphantly unveil a new ace. The New York Yankees presented a pa1r. The sign board outside old Yankee Stadium beamed with an unusu a l message Thursday for a ballpark that already has seen its final ga me : "LET'S PLAY TWO," read the top line. "CC & AJ I PM TODAY," said th e lower. For $243.5 million, a lot 1n most places bul a trifle in a city where a fmancier is accused of swi ndlmg billions, the Yankees Signed two pitchers they hope will restore the franchise's glory when it moves across the street to the new $1 .3 billion Yankee Stad1um next year. There was a Christmas tree on the mound of the old ballpark, Yog1 Berra was walking around and down in the cramped Stadium Club , II people were seated on chairs be s ide the podium . Manager Joe Girardi's 9year-old daughter. Serena. presented roses to the wives of CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. Yankees president Randy Levine called the news conference "one last hurrah" for the 85-year-old stadium, scheduled for demolition starting next summer. Brian Cashman said the teddy beari sh Sabathia "lights up a room when he walks in." " I hope he lights up a c1ty ," the general manager said. Disappowted. dismayed and dissed after their streak of 13 consecutive postseason appearances came to an end, the Yankees reversed course after a one-year expenment w1th young starters and exercised their economic might by finalizing huge contracts Thursday for the two highly pursued pitchers. Sabathta 's $161 million, seven-year deal IS the high est for a pitcher. Burnett 's $82.5 million, five-year agreement would be the highest on many teams. "We learned last year that injuries can happen acruss the board," Yankees cochairman Hal Steinbrenner said. "There 's no doubt pitching is a bit more worrisome, but you've got to live year by year and we're focused on 2009." New York has used 51 starting pitchers since It s last World Senes ti tie m 2000, according to the Elias Sporls Bureau, !i r d for sixth m the majors and third in the AL. Kevin Brown . Javier Vazquez, Jeff Weaver, Randy John son and Carl Pavano have all come and gone. Many of them were Introduced with similar hoopla. "You can't stop swinging for the fences," Cashman sa td , proudly v.earing a World Senes ring . "We've been here. We' ve done this before How many times , right? And I've got this on my finger from the time s where thing s have worked out. And I've got tread on my back from where I've been hit by a bu s when 1t didn't worK out."

' Bv RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Most teams triumphantly unveil a new ace. The New York Yankees presented a pa1r. The sign board outside old Yankee Stadium beamed with an unusu a l message Thursday for a ballpark that already has seen its final ga me : "LET'S PLAY TWO," read the top line. "CC & AJ I PM TODAY," said th e lower. For $243.5 million, a lot 1n most places bul a trifle in a city where a fmancier is accused of swi ndlmg billions, the Yankees Signed two pitchers they hope will restore the franchise's glory when it moves across the street to the new $1 .3 billion Yankee Stad1um next year. There was a Christmas tree on the mound of the old ballpark, Yog1 Berra was walking around and down in the cramped Stadium Club , II people were seated on chairs be s ide the podium . Manager Joe Girardi's 9year-old daughter. Serena. presented roses to the wives of CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. Yankees president Randy Levine called the news conference "one last hurrah" for the 85-year-old stadium, scheduled for demolition starting next summer. Brian Cashman said the teddy beari sh Sabathia "lights up a room when he walks in." " I hope he lights up a c1ty ," the general manager said. Disappowted. dismayed and dissed after their streak of 13 consecutive postseason appearances came to an end, the Yankees reversed course after a one-year expenment w1th young starters and exercised their economic might by finalizing huge contracts Thursday for the two highly pursued pitchers. Sabathta 's $161 million, seven-year deal IS the high est for a pitcher. Burnett 's $82.5 million, five-year agreement would be the highest on many teams. "We learned last year that injuries can happen acruss the board," Yankees cochairman Hal Steinbrenner said. "There 's no doubt pitching is a bit more worrisome, but you've got to live year by year and we're focused on 2009." New York has used 51 starting pitchers since It s last World Senes ti tie m 2000, according to the Elias Sporls Bureau, !i r d for sixth m the majors and third in the AL. Kevin Brown . Javier Vazquez, Jeff Weaver, Randy John son and Carl Pavano have all come and gone. Many of them were Introduced with similar hoopla. "You can't stop swinging for the fences," Cashman sa td , proudly v.earing a World Senes ring . "We've been here. We' ve done this before How many times , right? And I've got this on my finger from the time s where thing s have worked out. And I've got tread on my back from where I've been hit by a bu s when 1t didn't worK out." Sabathia, wearing two large diamond earrings and more bling on his arm, slipped a large jersey with No. 52 over his dress shirt and Burnett put a trimmer No. 34 top over hi s. At 6foot -7, about 300 pounds and with stze 15 s hoes Sabathta carnes big expec: lations to go with hts btg body. 'T m not the best physique - looking guy," Sabathia satd. To reel him in , the Yankees dazzled the 28year-old left- hander with fellow Californian Reggie Jackson, tales of how they !)ad coveted him for more than a year and a provision that allows the 2007 AL Cy Young Award winner totermmate his contract after three years. Derek Jeter made a recruiting call. and Cashman traveled · to Sabathia's home in Vallejo, Calif., last week during the winter meetings to assure ~ribune CLASSIFIED ANKEE STAD I'U1\1 -----= Galli a County OH E-mail classified@ mydail)'lribune.com To Place l\egister Sentinel \!Cribune Your Ad, (740) 446-23.42 (740) 992-2156 (304) 675-'1333 Call TOday... or Fax To (740) 446·3008 or Fax To 992-2157 Or Fax To (304) 675·5234 /}ecultir~ Word Ads GET YOUR CLASSIFIED LINE AD NOTICED Now you can have borders and graphics lL..l addedtoyourclassifiedads (.~ Jm Borders$3.00/perad ~ Graphics 50¢ for small $1 .00 for large DaiiV'fn-Column; !1;00 a.m. Monday-Friday for ln•ertlon J:n Next Day's Paper Sundily In-Column: St:OO a.m. frlclay For Sundays Paper Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. .

So was the .chance to win. "Of course, money had something to do with it," he added. "How often do you get the chance to put on pinstripes? I mean , wl;tether you want to admit that you love them or hate them, everybody wants to be a Yankee." Burnett was lookmg forward to picking out his locker in the oval club- house of the new ballpark, where the pair went to polie for pictures after the news conference.

Then you, with 19 high~card Points, must jump to game. Do not think about a slam. With your balanced hand. six spades must be out of reach unless partner has a pertect hand and you get very lucky. You must lose one diamond and one club, so you can afford only one ·trump loser. . After taking the first or second round ot clubs, play a spade to your ace. When the queen drops from West, don't be tempted to play tor the doubleton queen· jack. Instead, continue with a tow spade to dummy's 10. In a moment, when in dummy w~h the diamond ace, you can 'play a spade .to your Bight, lineSsing East out 01 his nine, draw Easl's last trump, and claim. ooq Note that if you cash the spade king at trick three, you go down, losing two spade tricks. And in case you are curi· ous, you have an 82 percent chance of playing this suit lor only one loser. As Alexander Pope nearly wrote, •A little learning is a dangerous thing .

Then you, with 19 high~card Points, must jump to game. Do not think about a slam. With your balanced hand. six spades must be out of reach unless partner has a pertect hand and you get very lucky. You must lose one diamond and one club, so you can afford only one ·trump loser. . After taking the first or second round ot clubs, play a spade to your ace. When the queen drops from West, don't be tempted to play tor the doubleton queen· jack. Instead, continue with a tow spade to dummy's 10. In a moment, when in dummy w~h the diamond ace, you can 'play a spade .to your Bight, lineSsing East out 01 his nine, draw Easl's last trump, and claim. ooq Note that if you cash the spade king at trick three, you go down, losing two spade tricks. And in case you are curi· ous, you have an 82 percent chance of playing this suit lor only one loser. As Alexander Pope nearly wrote, •A little learning is a dangerous thing .
