In autumn; the four-part h'usks open up like a child.'s toy to release pale brown nuts, each about the size of an acorn and with a sharp point at one end. Inside 1s a richly flavored, delectable nutmeat - no wonder, since hickory is closely related to ·pecan. · Although a hard nut to crack, hickory nuts are relished by · both humans and animals, especially squirrels. 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. . Subsequent naturalists pointed out that breeding or selectin~ better types, then culttvating them under good conditions, could lead to more productive hickories that bore nuts that were tasty and easier to crack . This led to , such varieties as Weschcke, Wilcox, Davis, Clark, Berger, and Fox, which are offered by some for.,, your lnwranct needs/" or $t,ooo,A3 ••• THE BEAUTY OF HICKORY Few homeowners plant hickories, yet there's no reason that we, as gardeners, cannot appreciate these trees as part of the landscape. And not just· as part of the general backdrop greenery. The fall . color of hickory leaves .is a rich yellow, toasted even warmer with hints of brown . And for the next few months, there's hickory's interesting bark to consider. Besides white birches, hickories are the easiest · trees to id'entify in winter. Shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) is well named , for the long strips of bark with ends curling away from the trunk do give it a truly shaggy Shellbark appe.arance. htckory (C. laciniosa) has a similar though less rumpled look . 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.

Dear Annie: A year ago.l my daughter, visited "Cindy," her husband, her two sons from her first marriage and their new baby daughter. Things were (ine except for the way her husband treats those two boys. Abusive is putting it mildly, And Cindy, by the way, seems to sanction 1his behavior. Before leaving. I gave my phone number and address to my oldest grandson and asked him to have his father contact me when I got home. I felt Cindy's ex-husband was the best one to confront her about this. But Cindy learned I had tried to contact her ex and she blew up at me. We haven't spoken since, and she won 'I let the children talk to me, either. She told me I will never see my granddaughter · again. When they were living in another state, her husband was twice reported to Child Protective Services. My husband urged me to call CPS; but I didn't, and now wonder whether I shQuld have . This past summer, Cindy came to my area and visited everyone in the family except me. I'm sure her .major motivation was to throw it in my face. She has pulled this sort of thing in the past when I didn't please her, and I always ended up begging forgiveness in order to have contact with my ~randchildren: But this time 1s different. I refuse to deny what her husband is doing. Musil wait for my gram)children to grow up before I see them again1 The oldest one called me from his . father's home a few times , but that stopped when Cindy found out and punished him. What can 1 do? - Brokenhearted Nana Dear Nana: Sad to say, there are some misguided women who put a relationship with a man above the welfare of their children. If you are in contact with the father, ask what he is doing about this situation. These are his sons and he should be investigating and reporting any abuse. Also call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4A-CHILD (1-800~4224453) and ask what else you can do to protect those boys. In the meantime, keep track of them through their father. Dear Annie: I am a .sin~ gle · mom. I have a life insurance policy on which my 18-yea r-old daughter. my only c.:hild. is Ji,ted as the beneficiary. My current boyfriend and 1 have been discussing marriage. He insists that hi s name also be listed on this policy after we are married . He also claims that after we are married he will get the money anyway because ~e would be my surv1vmg spous..:. I am very uncomfonable discussing th is with him funher. Do l need to consult a Ia wyer to be sure that money goes ro my daughter? Should l be worried about my boyfriend\ attitude? - Confused Dear Confused: We don ' I trust anyone whose first concern is your life insurance money . Your boyfriend should und erstand your wish 10 >el aside funds for your daughter. and he most likely is nor entitled to any claim on a preexisting policy. He could. however, get the rest of your property unless you have specifically designated oth erwise, in writing. We' d think twice about this m~rriage , and if you decide to go ahead, talk to a lawyer first. · Dear Annie: l read your column daily and it is always informative. Alas. I have one complaint. When you recommend emotional help to someone. you always suggest lhey go 10 their church. What is the matter with recommending they go to a temple? Rabbis are as cap<tble as priests and preachers to help these people. - Marcia Dear Marcia: Most of the time we suggest people talk to their clergyperson - that includes rabbis. priests. imams and anyone else. But' you are righl that we often say "c.:hurch" to indicate any place of worship. when we ought to be more specifically inclusive.

Dear Annie: A year ago.l my daughter, visited "Cindy," her husband, her two sons from her first marriage and their new baby daughter. Things were (ine except for the way her husband treats those two boys. Abusive is putting it mildly, And Cindy, by the way, seems to sanction 1his behavior. Before leaving. I gave my phone number and address to my oldest grandson and asked him to have his father contact me when I got home. I felt Cindy's ex-husband was the best one to confront her about this. But Cindy learned I had tried to contact her ex and she blew up at me. We haven't spoken since, and she won 'I let the children talk to me, either. She told me I will never see my granddaughter · again. When they were living in another state, her husband was twice reported to Child Protective Services. My husband urged me to call CPS; but I didn't, and now wonder whether I shQuld have . This past summer, Cindy came to my area and visited everyone in the family except me. I'm sure her .major motivation was to throw it in my face. She has pulled this sort of thing in the past when I didn't please her, and I always ended up begging forgiveness in order to have contact with my ~randchildren: But this time 1s different. I refuse to deny what her husband is doing. Musil wait for my gram)children to grow up before I see them again1 The oldest one called me from his . father's home a few times , but that stopped when Cindy found out and punished him. What can 1 do? - Brokenhearted Nana Dear Nana: Sad to say, there are some misguided women who put a relationship with a man above the welfare of their children. If you are in contact with the father, ask what he is doing about this situation. These are his sons and he should be investigating and reporting any abuse. Also call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4A-CHILD (1-800~4224453) and ask what else you can do to protect those boys. In the meantime, keep track of them through their father. Dear Annie: I am a .sin~ gle · mom. I have a life insurance policy on which my 18-yea r-old daughter. my only c.:hild. is Ji,ted as the beneficiary. My current boyfriend and 1 have been discussing marriage. He insists that hi s name also be listed on this policy after we are married . He also claims that after we are married he will get the money anyway because ~e would be my surv1vmg spous..:. I am very uncomfonable discussing th is with him funher. Do l need to consult a Ia wyer to be sure that money goes ro my daughter? Should l be worried about my boyfriend\ attitude? - Confused Dear Confused: We don ' I trust anyone whose first concern is your life insurance money . Your boyfriend should und erstand your wish 10 >el aside funds for your daughter. and he most likely is nor entitled to any claim on a preexisting policy. He could. however, get the rest of your property unless you have specifically designated oth erwise, in writing. We' d think twice about this m~rriage , and if you decide to go ahead, talk to a lawyer first. · Dear Annie: l read your column daily and it is always informative. Alas. I have one complaint. When you recommend emotional help to someone. you always suggest lhey go 10 their church. What is the matter with recommending they go to a temple? Rabbis are as cap<tble as priests and preachers to help these people. - Marcia Dear Marcia: Most of the time we suggest people talk to their clergyperson - that includes rabbis. priests. imams and anyone else. But' you are righl that we often say "c.:hurch" to indicate any place of worship. when we ought to be more specifically inclusive. On that note. we 'd like to wish all our Jewish readers a happy Chanukah . Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime edi~ tors of the Ann Landers column.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Barack President -elect Obama, relatively young and inexperienced, is facing a rapidly growing list ·of monumental challenges as he prepares to take the reins of a nation .in tllrmoi I. "I do not underestimate the enorrnity of the task that lies ahead." Obama said after his historic election a little more than.a inontb ago. It was a sobering assessment at the time, but the country 's problems have only worsened since then. Now, Obama sounds dire, particularly as he talks about the economy: "We're .m an emergency. " . He spoke during a week in which Congress killed a bailout of the failing auto industry , the government reported that jobless claims spiked to their highest levels in more than a quarter-century, and the Treasury Depanment said the nation registered a record fedeml budget deficit for November. With woes foreign and domestic on more fronts than even Franklin Delano Roo seve It encountered when he took office in the midst of ·the Great Depression. Obama will be sworn in as the country's 44th president in January. His leadership will be tested immediately and in many ways. His perfonnance from the outset could well set the tone (or his presidency. Not only is Obama saddled with lingering wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that he is inheriting from President George W. Bush, but he also must deal with: • a deepening recession in the U.S. and a spreading global economic crisis. • an automotive industry. on the brink.of collapse and soaring national debt. • increasing unemployment and its ripple effects. • the threat of terrorism amid a historic transfer of power. At the same time , Obama may be drawn into an unfoldin~ political scandal over Illtnois Gov. . Rod Blagojevich's alleged efforts to· trade the president-elect's fonner Senate seat for personal gain. The ongoing fedenil investigation could ensnare some of his top advisers and taint the self-styled reformer who has tried to steer clear of notorious Chicago politics. The president-elect says he 's ''absolutely confident" his aides did not try to cut deals with Blagojevicl1, but at the very least, the scandal is a distraction for a leader facing the magnitude of problems on .Obama 's plate. Obama also has promised an ambitious foreign and domestic policy agenda that includes withdrawing most U.S. combat troops from iraq, cleaning up government, overhauling the health care system, fighting global warmmg and developing alternative energy sources. Some priorities may fall to the waysrde or be done piecemeal. But, so far, he has sig, naled an intent to move forward on much if not all of those plans. The question is how quickly he can accomplish his goals, while simultaneously confronting the growing list of major problems. "There's a lot of ground giving under him. It's a terrific challenge," said Fred Greenstein. a · Princeton University l?rofessor emeri" Ius of politJcs and a presidential historian.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Barack President -elect Obama, relatively young and inexperienced, is facing a rapidly growing list ·of monumental challenges as he prepares to take the reins of a nation .in tllrmoi I. "I do not underestimate the enorrnity of the task that lies ahead." Obama said after his historic election a little more than.a inontb ago. It was a sobering assessment at the time, but the country 's problems have only worsened since then. Now, Obama sounds dire, particularly as he talks about the economy: "We're .m an emergency. " . He spoke during a week in which Congress killed a bailout of the failing auto industry , the government reported that jobless claims spiked to their highest levels in more than a quarter-century, and the Treasury Depanment said the nation registered a record fedeml budget deficit for November. With woes foreign and domestic on more fronts than even Franklin Delano Roo seve It encountered when he took office in the midst of ·the Great Depression. Obama will be sworn in as the country's 44th president in January. His leadership will be tested immediately and in many ways. His perfonnance from the outset could well set the tone (or his presidency. Not only is Obama saddled with lingering wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that he is inheriting from President George W. Bush, but he also must deal with: • a deepening recession in the U.S. and a spreading global economic crisis. • an automotive industry. on the brink.of collapse and soaring national debt. • increasing unemployment and its ripple effects. • the threat of terrorism amid a historic transfer of power. At the same time , Obama may be drawn into an unfoldin~ political scandal over Illtnois Gov. . Rod Blagojevich's alleged efforts to· trade the president-elect's fonner Senate seat for personal gain. The ongoing fedenil investigation could ensnare some of his top advisers and taint the self-styled reformer who has tried to steer clear of notorious Chicago politics. The president-elect says he 's ''absolutely confident" his aides did not try to cut deals with Blagojevicl1, but at the very least, the scandal is a distraction for a leader facing the magnitude of problems on .Obama 's plate. Obama also has promised an ambitious foreign and domestic policy agenda that includes withdrawing most U.S. combat troops from iraq, cleaning up government, overhauling the health care system, fighting global warmmg and developing alternative energy sources. Some priorities may fall to the waysrde or be done piecemeal. But, so far, he has sig, naled an intent to move forward on much if not all of those plans. The question is how quickly he can accomplish his goals, while simultaneously confronting the growing list of major problems. "There's a lot of ground giving under him. It's a terrific challenge," said Fred Greenstein. a · Princeton University l?rofessor emeri" Ius of politJcs and a presidential historian.

"I've got phone books as a pillow," said Greyhound passeqger Phillip Barton. having given up hope of reaching his home in Ketchikan. Alaska, by Christmas. A weekend stonn dumped about 5 inches of- snow around Seattle by Sunday morning, and it snowed anew all afternoon, with the National Weatl)er Service predicting up to 4 inches more by Monday morning. Storms in the Northeast and Midwest also produced travel headaches for those trying to get home by road, rail and air. Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, one of the world's bustest, canceled about 150 flights Sunday. · Some flights arrived two to three hours late Sunday ai New York's Kennedy Airport and Boston's Logan Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, though delays diminished later in the evening. Even fair- weather airports weren't immune from tieups. Georoe Bush lntercontinentaf Airport in Houston had delays averaging about five hours, and flights from Atlanta to Boston and New York were also delayed.

(AP) -Greg Micheli threw two touch· down passes to Cecil Shorts as Mount Union regained its spot atop Division III foot, ball Saturday, beating defending champion Wisconsin· Whitewater 3126 in the Stagg Bowl. The Purple Raiders (15-0) won their I Oth Division III title - all coming in the past 16 seasons. Mount Union and Wisconsin-Whitewater have played each other for the championship in each of the last four years. The Raiders also won the 2005 and 2006 matchups. Nate Kmic''s first-quarter touchdown was his 16th of the playoffs, a Division III record. He also became the first player in any NCAA division to rush for 8,000 career yards. His 88 yards Saturday ~ave the senior 8,074 for h1s career. .But it was Micheli who made the Purple Raiders· offense roll thts time. The senior completed 12 of 19 passes for 262 yards and the two TD passes to Shorts, He also rushed for 56 yards. On Thursday, he received the Gagliardi Award given to Division III's outstanding player. Wisconsin · Whitewater (13-2) couldn't overcome a 21 -7 first-half deficit. The Warhawks outgained the Purple Raiders 455-40 I, but several mistakes cost them dearly .. Kicker Jeff Sehebler missed tield goal attempts late in the first half and again on the Warhawks' first drive of the second half. Whitewater quarterback Jeff Donovan was also intercept· . ed by Mount Union's Drew McClain on a tipped pass early in the fourth quarter, which McClain returned 78 yards to make the score 3113. The Warhawks scored two touchdowns in the last seven minutes, but the comeback ran out of time. Mount Union, which never led in the 2007 title game, needed under two minutes to pull ahead this time. Four plays into the game, Micheli found a wide-open Shorts, who had beaten Whitewater's Troney Shumpert down the middle of the field, for a· 55-yard touchdown pass. Following a three-and-out by Whitewater, Micheli and Shorts doubled Mount Union's advantage on a similar pass play - this one going 41 yards. With 9:15 still left in the first quarter, the Purple Raiders were up 14-0. . . With the help of a 55-yard kickoff return .by Aaron Samplawski, the Warhawks got back into the game with the help of a four-play drive that took less than 1:30 and was capped by a !-yard run by Antwan Anderson, cutting Mount Union's lead to 14-7. But it didn't take long for the Purple Raiders to regain their two-touchdown cushion. A 75-yard drive was capJ!Cd by a 2-yard run by Kmtc to make the score 21-7.

(AP) -Greg Micheli threw two touch· down passes to Cecil Shorts as Mount Union regained its spot atop Division III foot, ball Saturday, beating defending champion Wisconsin· Whitewater 3126 in the Stagg Bowl. The Purple Raiders (15-0) won their I Oth Division III title - all coming in the past 16 seasons. Mount Union and Wisconsin-Whitewater have played each other for the championship in each of the last four years. The Raiders also won the 2005 and 2006 matchups. Nate Kmic''s first-quarter touchdown was his 16th of the playoffs, a Division III record. He also became the first player in any NCAA division to rush for 8,000 career yards. His 88 yards Saturday ~ave the senior 8,074 for h1s career. .But it was Micheli who made the Purple Raiders· offense roll thts time. The senior completed 12 of 19 passes for 262 yards and the two TD passes to Shorts, He also rushed for 56 yards. On Thursday, he received the Gagliardi Award given to Division III's outstanding player. Wisconsin · Whitewater (13-2) couldn't overcome a 21 -7 first-half deficit. The Warhawks outgained the Purple Raiders 455-40 I, but several mistakes cost them dearly .. Kicker Jeff Sehebler missed tield goal attempts late in the first half and again on the Warhawks' first drive of the second half. Whitewater quarterback Jeff Donovan was also intercept· . ed by Mount Union's Drew McClain on a tipped pass early in the fourth quarter, which McClain returned 78 yards to make the score 3113. The Warhawks scored two touchdowns in the last seven minutes, but the comeback ran out of time. Mount Union, which never led in the 2007 title game, needed under two minutes to pull ahead this time. Four plays into the game, Micheli found a wide-open Shorts, who had beaten Whitewater's Troney Shumpert down the middle of the field, for a· 55-yard touchdown pass. Following a three-and-out by Whitewater, Micheli and Shorts doubled Mount Union's advantage on a similar pass play - this one going 41 yards. With 9:15 still left in the first quarter, the Purple Raiders were up 14-0. . . With the help of a 55-yard kickoff return .by Aaron Samplawski, the Warhawks got back into the game with the help of a four-play drive that took less than 1:30 and was capped by a !-yard run by Antwan Anderson, cutting Mount Union's lead to 14-7. But it didn't take long for the Purple Raiders to regain their two-touchdown cushion. A 75-yard drive was capJ!Cd by a 2-yard run by Kmtc to make the score 21-7.

Earlier gran!s totaled $9 ,I 00 and another grant received just last month added another $7,319 for the project. The village is required to provide a 25 percent match. · "For now everything is stopped. We 've been told where we had to end our project because of infringin!l on their right-of-way. There 's a possibility of moving gas lines, but that's way down the road," said Musser, "All I can say now is this is a big disappoint, ment to' me as mayor. village council , and Jim Smith who has worked so hard to get this·project going ."
