"I believe those of us who are fortunate to have Mitchell touch our. lives are truly blessed ," he added. · Harbrecht's teachers also play a vital role in his everyday activities. He spends two days each week at Wahama with teacher Mike Wolfe and three days each week at the career center, where his teacher is Jenny Huffman and his aide is Sandy · Mullins, who his motheJ said has become an integral pait of Harbrecht's life over the past six years.

"We 've left everything up to Him, and He's seen us through. "We've had a lot of hills and valleys, but they've been worth it," she added.

Among them is David Graham, principal at Wahama High School, who described Harbrecht as a wonderful siudent. "Mitchell is one of those individuals who makes us aware of what being a human being is all about," Graham said. "He loves people because they are people and therefore should be loved. He brings happiness io those around him Page¥ ing, and he always completes tasks assigned in. the classroom. "He loves to socialize," Huffman continued. "There isn't a girl that he doesn't like to speak to." Other key people in Harbrecht's life are Betty and Joe Roush and the late William Roush, who babysat the youngster for many years. They also have harness race horses, one of which they registered in Harbrecht's honor with the name of "Mitch's Filly." She soon became one of the fastest they owned. Jim and Vickie Taylor of Old Glory Auction House in Middleport, also are fundamental role models in Har~recht 's life and credit him as being the light and sunshine of .many of their weekly events, and Pastor Jason Simpkins and his wife Hollie ·at Soul Harvest Church in Mason are two people Harbrecht thoroughly enjoys being with. Of course, as Spencer pointed out, the family has · helped tremendously, and she credits her husband, Steve Spencer, and her parents, Eileen Fields and the late Leonard Fields, as providing the constant support and devotion they need.

He can identify 25 models of cars and is quick to rattle off the name of a song when it plays on the radio. In addition, he likes litlending footbait, basketball and hockey games and enjoys racing cats at Ona Speedway. In many aspects, Harbrecht is like any other person his age who enjoys socializing . and being around friends. But his mother, a devoted country music fan, said she thinks of her son when she hears the song "Angels Among Us," adding that Mitchell is her angel.

He can sit by himself, pour drinks and complete other tasks by using his upper body stre)'lgth. She srud physical therapy has proved to be a big help, and Harbrecht will resume extensive therapy at the beginning of the year in an effort to begin walking again with the aid of a walker. The journey, as Spencer acknowledged, has . been one completely guided by God. . "We do our part, and it's simply by being himself. "I believe those of us who are fortunate to have Mitchell touch our. lives are truly blessed ," he added. · Harbrecht's teachers also play a vital role in his everyday activities. He spends two days each week at Wahama with teacher Mike Wolfe and three days each week at the career center, where his teacher is Jenny Huffman and his aide is Sandy · Mullins, who his motheJ said has become an integral pait of Harbrecht's life over the past six years. Huffman said Harbrecht is especially ht\lpful when it up to God what is meant to . comes to sorting and fold" be. We have to keep the faith and trust. in the Lord," she said. "We 've left everything up to Him, and He's seen us through. "We've had a lot of hills and valleys, but they've been worth it," she added. Those hills and valleys also have been maneuvered with · the help of a superb support system comprised of family members and friends who have the teen's best interest at heart . Among them is David Graham, principal at Wahama High School, who described Harbrecht as a wonderful siudent. "Mitchell is one of those individuals who makes us aware of what being a human being is all about," Graham said. "He loves people because they are people and therefore should be loved. He brings happiness io those around him Page¥ ing, and he always completes tasks assigned in. the classroom. "He loves to socialize," Huffman continued. "There isn't a girl that he doesn't like to speak to." Other key people in Harbrecht's life are Betty and Joe Roush and the late William Roush, who babysat the youngster for many years. They also have harness race horses, one of which they registered in Harbrecht's honor with the name of "Mitch's Filly." She soon became one of the fastest they owned. Jim and Vickie Taylor of Old Glory Auction House in Middleport, also are fundamental role models in Har~recht 's life and credit him as being the light and sunshine of .many of their weekly events, and Pastor Jason Simpkins and his wife Hollie ·at Soul Harvest Church in Mason are two people Harbrecht thoroughly enjoys being with. Of course, as Spencer pointed out, the family has · helped tremendously, and she credits her husband, Steve Spencer, and her parents, Eileen Fields and the late Leonard Fields, as providing the constant support and devotion they need. She also said that Harbrecht's aunt Judy, father and stepmother Jeff and Dee and grandma Sharon McCallister play increasinglY. vital roles in the teen's hfe: . lllU'brecht' .~ who .will cel~brate his 20th birthday Dec. 23 - also is an admitted Elvis Presley fan and enjoys attending concerts featuring Elvis tribute artist Dwight Icenhower. He can identify 25 models of cars and is quick to rattle off the name of a song when it plays on the radio. In addition, he likes litlending footbait, basketball and hockey games and enjoys racing cats at Ona Speedway. In many aspects, Harbrecht is like any other person his age who enjoys socializing . and being around friends. But his mother, a devoted country music fan, said she thinks of her son when she hears the song "Angels Among Us," adding that Mitchell is her angel. "His smile and bear hugs make the world so bright. We are truly blessed," she said. Dec. 31 will be as usual. Trash pickup scheduled for Thursday. Jan. I will be picked up Friday, Jan . 2.

"It's not their fault ," Lief said, "but how do you handle 70,000 people?" The Browns hire Tenable Protective Services, which employs about I 00 off-duty officers, including undercover officers dressed as "Every Fan,""to police a venue with a population the size of Lorain . In addition, 220 ushers carry pagers to dispatch police, housekeeping , medIcal staff or a supervisor. A blue-jacketed team of 75 roving security staff known as the "Dawg Squad"' roams the stadium to resr.ond as needed. And the bmldmg is equippeq with 80 cameras, inside and out. Security detail for a I p.m. kickoff begins even before bomb-sniffing dogs sweep the field, locker rooms and even Gatorade jugs at around 8 a.m. and doesn't end until hours after the stadium has emptied. In such a dismal season, the home portion of which ends against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, season ticket-holders are more inclined to give their seats away or just stay home. That can mean a house more populated with frustrated fans and football amateurs more intent on partying than following the action on the field. The v1sibly intoxicated are supposed to be stopped at the gates. where fans are patted down and checked for bot· ties, weapons and other con· traband before proceeding past Dawg Squa.~ members, ticket·takers and vendors hawking $7 beers. In an operations rooll) on the press and VIP level , dispatchers fielded calls and directed ' them to the proper supervisor, depending on the ISSUe. Smoking and swearing? Send the Dawg Squad. Someone threw up in the seat in front of him? Dispatch housekeeping. A fight? Get officers on that. Drunkenness is out of hand? A call can be made to shut down alcohol sales earlier than normal. which is typi· cally after the third quarter. Seated next to a fire mar· shal and emergency medical supervisor, three police officers maqeuvered camera monitors with joy sticks, zeroing in on sections, seats and even fans' faces. What fans do before · the game requires attention as well. Cleveland Police usually staff 14 officers, plus a lieu· tenant and sergeant in charge and a prisoner van, at the Municipal Lot near the stadium where tailgaters gather earl:~: on game day. More officers are on duty for rival games and night games, where some fans start partying 12 hours before kickoff. Police statistics on game· day arrests, tickets and inci· dents 'in the Muni Lot for each of the last five years were incomplete. So it's dif· ficult to gauge how vigilant the city actually is in addressing problems there. "] used to think tailgating was team spirit." said Lief, the longtime season ticket· holder.

If they're ~ood, they get the gift of hts infinite generosity: a break on their debts, a httle extra time to get their affairs in order and IJCrhaps something even more lifealtering if he deems them especially fit. (Giving away much more would deplete the film of its supposed poignancy.) But Smith's demeanor is so eerily detached and even robotic at times, he makes you wonder whether Ben is functioning as a force of benevolence or evil - for all of two seconds, that is . Come on, this is Will Smith we're talking about here. Although he · has acting cho!ls that transcend his lt:ading-man good looks and superstar charisma, he's neve~ played anyone truly, deeply flawed - not even as a misanthropic superhero been onto something here, except the script seems so intentionally confusing, it's hard to feel engaged. Nieporte 's story initiates and drops various subplot threads when it should have focused more on the unlikely relationship between Smith and Rosario Dawson. ·As one of the chief beneficiaries of Ben's kindness, Dawson's Emily Posa literally has a broken heart that he has plans to fix. Dawson is effortlessly lovely as always, and the warm scenes she shares with Smith suggest the kind of classic , tragic weepy film "Seven Pounds" could have been if it had shed its pretensiOns and stopped trying so hard to wow us with its complexity. Muccino and Co. aspire to the kind of seismic "a-ha" you'd discover ·in an 0. Henry short story.

(Giving away much more would deplete the film of its supposed poignancy.) But Smith's demeanor is so eerily detached and even robotic at times, he makes you wonder whether Ben is functioning as a force of benevolence or evil - for all of two seconds, that is . Come on, this is Will Smith we're talking about here. Although he · has acting cho!ls that transcend his lt:ading-man good looks and superstar charisma, he's neve~ played anyone truly, deeply flawed - not even as a misanthropic superhero been onto something here, except the script seems so intentionally confusing, it's hard to feel engaged. Nieporte 's story initiates and drops various subplot threads when it should have focused more on the unlikely relationship between Smith and Rosario Dawson. ·As one of the chief beneficiaries of Ben's kindness, Dawson's Emily Posa literally has a broken heart that he has plans to fix. Dawson is effortlessly lovely as always, and the warm scenes she shares with Smith suggest the kind of classic , tragic weepy film "Seven Pounds" could have been if it had shed its pretensiOns and stopped trying so hard to wow us with its complexity. Muccino and Co. aspire to the kind of seismic "a-ha" you'd discover ·in an 0. Henry short story. Instead, "Seven Pounds" feels closer • .TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY DROP COOKIES Start to tlnlsh: 1 hour (35 minutes active) • Makes 30 cookies AP A Chocolate Chip Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie is seen in this Sunday, Oct. 19 photo.

The difficulty of cracking the nut, and perhaps its somewhat small size, does admittedly limit its appeaL Nonetheless, in 1773, American naturalist John Bartram came uv.on a Native American vtllage where hickories were being cultivated for their nuts. .

Shellbark hickory is a lowland tree and shagbark hickory is an upland tree, but if you want to easily tell these two beauties apart, wait until their branches are again clothed in leaves , then count the leaflets. Shellbark hickory usually has seven leaflets per leaf; shagbark has five leaflets, with little hairs at the tips of the teeth. So with its regal. upright form, fall color and interesting shaggy bark,, why haven't you seen hickory trees for sale at nurseries? Because they can be difficult to transplant. In its first season, a seedling hickory typically sends a taproot 2 to 3 feet deep . into the soiL Still, if anyone really wanted a hickory tree,cutling a seedli ng' s taproot early on stops its downward plunge and induces branch roots to grow instead; then, the tree is more easily transplanted.
