Sister-in-law may have issues Dear Annie: I am manied to a wonderful man whose family despises me-because of a fight I had with his twin sister. His twin, "Kari," is a hateful person who attacked me and my daughter (a defenseless 6--year-old). I am now an outcast because I refuse to forgiveherandresumecontactas · if the incident never happened. · My in-laws have made numerous attempts to reunite my children with their aunt and are currently furious with me for not allowing them to attend a birthday party at which Kari will be present. I am not willing to subject my young children to her vicious temper tantrums anymore, but I also don't want to cause a full-blown feud with my husband's family. Is there any way to mend this without conceding defeat and pretending it never happenect? - Outcast Dear Outcast: This isn't a contest about who wins or loses, and rest assured, it won't be forgotten. We worry about anyone who attacks a young child - physically or verbally - and we're not sure exactly what happened. Since you are looking for a way to mend fences with your husband's parents, tell your in-laws you are willing to forgive Kari, but you have an obligation to keep your children safe. );le sincere about this. ()pen your heart to Kari in the hope that she will get help. Your sister-in-law sounds unstable and could, benefit from talking to her doctor. And you should pay close attention to Kari' s anger · problems, since she is your husband's twin and your children could inherit any mental health problems in the family. This does not mean you have to allow your children to be · around their aunt, but if you express this with genuine sadness instead of anger, your inlaws are more likely to understand. Dear Annie: My husband and our family have vacationed at the same rental home . for nearly 20· years and have invited some of our close friends to be our guests. One of the couples that have joined us · multiple times decided to rent this same home recently. Much to our surprise and disappointment, we learned they invited a whole different set of friends and didn't reciprocate our m<my invitations by asking us to join them for even a day or two. Yet they requested the use of many of our things for their vacation. Had they gone anywhere ·else, I guess it wouldn't have bothered me much, but I felt insulted and hurt. Am I mJZy or' was this very inconsiderate on their part? Hurt F~ling.s in Florida Dear Hurt: This was insensitive, but we don 't believe it was intentional. Your friends probably assumed you would have no interest. since you have been to this rental home often and don't need an in vitalion to sample its charms. They apparently have had such a good lime With xou that they want to share 11 With others. We do hope, however, they have reciprocated. in other waxs. _If not, y~u m1~ht want to hrrut your lime With this couple sin~e the tiiendsh1p IS so one-sided.

This is an opportunity for M~m to · demonstmte to her children how to hilfldle m1sfortune with dignity -. a lesson they wdl need therr whole hves. If she crumbles over it and shows them bitterness and anger, they are learning the wrong 1esson. Will Dad be sorry? It depends on how selfish he is and whether he continues to justify loving his own pleasure more than his family.

Sister-in-law may have issues Dear Annie: I am manied to a wonderful man whose family despises me-because of a fight I had with his twin sister. His twin, "Kari," is a hateful person who attacked me and my daughter (a defenseless 6--year-old). I am now an outcast because I refuse to forgiveherandresumecontactas · if the incident never happened. · My in-laws have made numerous attempts to reunite my children with their aunt and are currently furious with me for not allowing them to attend a birthday party at which Kari will be present. I am not willing to subject my young children to her vicious temper tantrums anymore, but I also don't want to cause a full-blown feud with my husband's family. Is there any way to mend this without conceding defeat and pretending it never happenect? - Outcast Dear Outcast: This isn't a contest about who wins or loses, and rest assured, it won't be forgotten. We worry about anyone who attacks a young child - physically or verbally - and we're not sure exactly what happened. Since you are looking for a way to mend fences with your husband's parents, tell your in-laws you are willing to forgive Kari, but you have an obligation to keep your children safe. );le sincere about this. ()pen your heart to Kari in the hope that she will get help. Your sister-in-law sounds unstable and could, benefit from talking to her doctor. And you should pay close attention to Kari' s anger · problems, since she is your husband's twin and your children could inherit any mental health problems in the family. This does not mean you have to allow your children to be · around their aunt, but if you express this with genuine sadness instead of anger, your inlaws are more likely to understand. Dear Annie: My husband and our family have vacationed at the same rental home . for nearly 20· years and have invited some of our close friends to be our guests. One of the couples that have joined us · multiple times decided to rent this same home recently. Much to our surprise and disappointment, we learned they invited a whole different set of friends and didn't reciprocate our m<my invitations by asking us to join them for even a day or two. Yet they requested the use of many of our things for their vacation. Had they gone anywhere ·else, I guess it wouldn't have bothered me much, but I felt insulted and hurt. Am I mJZy or' was this very inconsiderate on their part? Hurt F~ling.s in Florida Dear Hurt: This was insensitive, but we don 't believe it was intentional. Your friends probably assumed you would have no interest. since you have been to this rental home often and don't need an in vitalion to sample its charms. They apparently have had such a good lime With xou that they want to share 11 With others. We do hope, however, they have reciprocated. in other waxs. _If not, y~u m1~ht want to hrrut your lime With this couple sin~e the tiiendsh1p IS so one-sided. Dear Annie: 'The First Wi!¢'s" husband is kidding him~lf if he thinks the kids won t be hurt by a divorce. This is an opportunity for M~m to · demonstmte to her children how to hilfldle m1sfortune with dignity -. a lesson they wdl need therr whole hves. If she crumbles over it and shows them bitterness and anger, they are learning the wrong 1esson. Will Dad be sorry? It depends on how selfish he is and whether he continues to justify loving his own pleasure more than his family. I can only speak from the ex-wife's point of view and testify that it took at lea't five _years tor the kids to forgive him .

'21 4.21 Now that the holiday sea. son has arrived, many Americans will be preoccupied with festivities and cele.brations. Meanwhile, more than 200,000 of our fellow · citizens are serving overseas in the r:nilitary, preoccupied with surviving. So what do we Americans owe these people? First of all, the U.S. government owes them an effective war plan. After years of strategic chaos, the so-called "surge" in Iraq has finally allowed the military to carry the fight to the terrorists. The Iraqi civilian population saw this and began to cooperate with the good guys, Americans, by informing on the bad guys, terrorists. Thus, things are improving on the ground in Iraq. · The Democratic leadership, of course, opposed the surge. So while .the Bush administration has made big errors in Iraq. the Democrats have now joined the mistake zone. Have they not? _ In Afghanistan. more folly. Brave U.S. and Bill O'Reilly NATO forces have the Taliban on the run. but unfortunately, they have a safe place to · run to: Pakistan . · If the new budget passes, U.S. taxpayers will provide an astounding $785 million to the Musharraf government next year. And what do we get for all that cash? Taliban sanctuaries, that's what . Completely unacceptable. The Bush administration owes it to our brave men and women in the Afghan theater to stop the nonsense. Either Pakistani armed force s cooperate with NATO to hunt down these . terrorists, or no money. Period. Back home, the United Service Organizations (USO) has sent very few famous people to visit the troops in Afghanistan. Again, completely unacceptable. As a few readers of this column have stated: More American celebrities have visited the tyrant Hugo Chavez in Venezuela have. gone to than Afghanistan. The yearly budget for the USO is a whopping $ 150 mi II ion, so money is not at issue; motivation is. Where is the modern day Bob Hope?

Are you telling me famous people won't go to Afghanistan and Iraq to say thanks to the troops 1 USO CEO Ned Powell told me he hopes to . improve thi s dismal situation , and all' Americans should encourage him to do so. Our troops in the field need to know we appreciate their sac rifice, even if some disagree with the war on terror strategy.

Our lead frog hails..from West Virginia, where it was the subject of a news story in The Charleston Daily Mail, written by Evadna Bartlett and sent in by alert reader Jeremy Scott. The headline states: ·Putnam woman finds frog inside . her frozen dinner. The story - which is one of the most th\)rough frog-related stories we've ever seen -. quotes the woman, Emily Stover, as stating that she had eaten.about three-quarters of a Healthy Choice Chicken Cantonese frozen dinner, and was about to eat the broccoli ("her favorite vegetable," the story states) when she came across what she at first thought was a piece of asparagus. Upon closer examination, however, she discovered, to her horror, that it was a frog. "I love frogs," she is quoted as saying, "but I don't want them in my food." The Daily Mail published a colot photograph ·of a . concerned-looking Stover holding a small green object, identified as the frog in question, next to a Healthy Choice box. The story states that Stover notified the company that makes Healthy Choice, ConAgra Foods, which sent a representative out to pick up the frog, pack it in dry ice and send it to Omaha, Neb., "for laboratory analysis." The ironic thing is that some people actually eat frogs' legs on purpose. It is pie's food. And any lawenforcement expert will tell you . that, because of the shame experienced by the vicri ms, the vast majority of these cases are never Dave reported to the authorities.

'21 4.21 Now that the holiday sea. son has arrived, many Americans will be preoccupied with festivities and cele.brations. Meanwhile, more than 200,000 of our fellow · citizens are serving overseas in the r:nilitary, preoccupied with surviving. So what do we Americans owe these people? First of all, the U.S. government owes them an effective war plan. After years of strategic chaos, the so-called "surge" in Iraq has finally allowed the military to carry the fight to the terrorists. The Iraqi civilian population saw this and began to cooperate with the good guys, Americans, by informing on the bad guys, terrorists. Thus, things are improving on the ground in Iraq. · The Democratic leadership, of course, opposed the surge. So while .the Bush administration has made big errors in Iraq. the Democrats have now joined the mistake zone. Have they not? _ In Afghanistan. more folly. Brave U.S. and Bill O'Reilly NATO forces have the Taliban on the run. but unfortunately, they have a safe place to · run to: Pakistan . · If the new budget passes, U.S. taxpayers will provide an astounding $785 million to the Musharraf government next year. And what do we get for all that cash? Taliban sanctuaries, that's what . Completely unacceptable. The Bush administration owes it to our brave men and women in the Afghan theater to stop the nonsense. Either Pakistani armed force s cooperate with NATO to hunt down these . terrorists, or no money. Period. Back home, the United Service Organizations (USO) has sent very few famous people to visit the troops in Afghanistan. Again, completely unacceptable. As a few readers of this column have stated: More American celebrities have visited the tyrant Hugo Chavez in Venezuela have. gone to than Afghanistan. The yearly budget for the USO is a whopping $ 150 mi II ion, so money is not at issue; motivation is. Where is the modern day Bob Hope? Where .are American entertainment, sports and music celebrities when they are needed? Are you telling me famous people won't go to Afghanistan and Iraq to say thanks to the troops 1 USO CEO Ned Powell told me he hopes to . improve thi s dismal situation , and all' Americans should encourage him to do so. Our troops in the field need to know we appreciate their sac rifice, even if some disagree with the war on terror strategy.

Our lead frog hails..from West Virginia, where it was the subject of a news story in The Charleston Daily Mail, written by Evadna Bartlett and sent in by alert reader Jeremy Scott. The headline states: ·Putnam woman finds frog inside . her frozen dinner. The story - which is one of the most th\)rough frog-related stories we've ever seen -. quotes the woman, Emily Stover, as stating that she had eaten.about three-quarters of a Healthy Choice Chicken Cantonese frozen dinner, and was about to eat the broccoli ("her favorite vegetable," the story states) when she came across what she at first thought was a piece of asparagus. Upon closer examination, however, she discovered, to her horror, that it was a frog. "I love frogs," she is quoted as saying, "but I don't want them in my food." The Daily Mail published a colot photograph ·of a . concerned-looking Stover holding a small green object, identified as the frog in question, next to a Healthy Choice box. The story states that Stover notified the company that makes Healthy Choice, ConAgra Foods, which sent a representative out to pick up the frog, pack it in dry ice and send it to Omaha, Neb., "for laboratory analysis." The ironic thing is that some people actually eat frogs' legs on purpose. It is pie's food.

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Vatican removed from the priesthood two men who faced credible complaints of sexual abuse of children, the Cleveland Catholic Diocese said Friday. Gary Benhiaume, who was suspended from active ministry in 2002, and J. Brendan McNulty, who was suspended in . 2003, had asked to be removed from the clerical state, the diocese said. Benhiaume transferred to Cleveland after serving six months in a Michigan jail on a sex abuse charge in the·l970s, diocese spokesman Bob Polomsky said. More allegations surfaced when he worked in Cleveland. McNulty was suspended while serving as pastor of Saint~ Phi lip and James Church in Cleveland. The allegations involved sexual abuse of boys from a large churchgoing familv in the 1970s. ·''We are deeply sorry of the pain suffered by survivors of abuse due to action of some members of the clergy, as nothing is more imponant than protecting children," the diocese said in announcing the Vatican move. No phone listing could be found for Benhiaume or McNulty and they could not be reached for. comment. Polomsky said he didn't have contact information on Berthiaume, who no longer lives in Ohio, or McNulty, who still lives in the Cleveland LocAL Set fl\j)\JJ.,JI, G.AU.IPOLIS - A SChedule o/ ~ing college and high school lllnity sporting events ~teams from G ~ll iB and M,eigs ~ies.

Va. (AP)A federal judge made clear his disdain for animal cruelty when he sentenced two of Michael Vick's dogfightin g cohorts to 18 months and 21 months in prison Friday. "You may have thought this was sporting, but it was very callous and cruel," Judge Henry Hudson told Quanis Phillips of Atlanta, who received the longer sentence . The prison terms for Phillips and Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach are a little longer than prosecutors recommended, but less than the five-year maximum Hu£!son could have imposed. · Vick, the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback, also faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 10 for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that operated on his 15-acre property in southeastern Virginia from 200 I until last summer. "It's good new s for Michael Vick because it shows the j~d!)e is willing 1?, sentence wtthm -rhe range, said Steven Benjamin of Richmond, secretary of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Federal sentencing guidelines called for prison terms $19,911 $13,501 of a year to 18 months for Peace and 18 months to two years for Phillips, who has · 10 prior mi sdemeanor convictions. Prosec utors recommended se ntences at the low end of those ranges because of the co-defendants' cooperation in the government's investigation. But Hudson, who owns a bichon frise dog, said he believed slightly tougher sentences were appropriate. Peace's sentence is at the top of the guideline range, Phillips' in the middle. And Benjamin said Vick still could · get a sentence above the negotiated range in his case - a year to 18 months - if Hudson concludes 27-year-old Vick is more culpable than the others because he admitting bankrollin~ the operation and provtding gambling money. According to court papers, Vick not only financed the "Bad Newz Kennels" but also participated in executing several underperforming .dogs by drowning, hanging and other means . Vick publicly apologized for his role in the dogfighting enterprise and turned himself in Nov. 19 to begin serving his pri son term early. He is bemg held in a state jail in Warsaw, Va. -. Vick 's attorney, Lawrence Woodward, attended Friday's proceedings and declined to comment as he left the courtroom. John Goodwin, manager of animal fighting issues for the Humane Society of the United States, also attended and said he was satisfied With the sentences. "The judge sent a pretty strong and clear message that dogfighting is a deadend activity, and it carries some meaningful consequences," Goodwin said. · Peace; Phillips and Tony Taylor of Hampton pleaded guilty last summer and agreed to testify against Vick, prompting the former Virgima Tech football star to enter his own plea agree- · ment a few days later. The 35-year-old Taylor · will be sentenced Dec. 14. . In addition to P.rison time, Peace and Phtllips were fined $250 each and will be placed on three years' probation after their release . Hudson said he was "disturbed" to read in a pre-se ntencing report that Peace told the court he saw nothing wrong with dogfighting and believed "it's natural for dogs to light" ......

"You may have thought this was sporting, but it was very callous and cruel," Judge Henry Hudson told Quanis Phillips of Atlanta, who received the longer sentence . The prison terms for Phillips and Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach are a little longer than prosecutors recommended, but less than the five-year maximum Hu£!son could have imposed. · Vick, the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback, also faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 10 for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that operated on his 15-acre property in southeastern Virginia from 200 I until last summer.

Federal sentencing guidelines called for prison terms $19,911 $13,501 of a year to 18 months for Peace and 18 months to two years for Phillips, who has · 10 prior mi sdemeanor convictions. Prosec utors recommended se ntences at the low end of those ranges because of the co-defendants' cooperation in the government's investigation. But Hudson, who owns a bichon frise dog, said he believed slightly tougher sentences were appropriate. Peace's sentence is at the top of the guideline range, Phillips' in the middle. And Benjamin said Vick still could · get a sentence above the negotiated range in his case - a year to 18 months - if Hudson concludes 27-year-old Vick is more culpable than the others because he admitting bankrollin~ the operation and provtding gambling money. According to court papers, Vick not only financed the "Bad Newz Kennels" but also participated in executing several underperforming .dogs by drowning, hanging and other means . Vick publicly apologized for his role in the dogfighting enterprise and turned himself in Nov. 19 to begin serving his pri son term early. He is bemg held in a state jail in Warsaw, Va. -. Vick 's attorney, Lawrence Woodward, attended Friday's proceedings and declined to comment as he left the courtroom. John Goodwin, manager of animal fighting issues for the Humane Society of the United States, also attended and said he was satisfied With the sentences. "The judge sent a pretty strong and clear message that dogfighting is a deadend activity, and it carries some meaningful consequences," Goodwin said. · Peace; Phillips and Tony Taylor of Hampton pleaded guilty last summer and agreed to testify against Vick, prompting the former Virgima Tech football star to enter his own plea agree- · ment a few days later. The 35-year-old Taylor · will be sentenced Dec. 14. . In addition to P.rison time, Peace and Phtllips were fined $250 each and will be placed on three years' probation after their release .

According to Connie's research of census records, in 1930 he was living in Meigs County with his father, Arthur H. Wise, and grandmother, Ella T. Wise. Her thought is that {here might still be some family living here . Connie got her initial information about the remains being found from the OHMEIGS mailing list, a posting by Harold Davis, 40th Infantry Division, who served in Korea in 1952-53. In the posting he noted that Wise gave his home of record as Meigs County. In Ohio there are 51 families that have not been located. In Meigs County it is only the family of Mr. Wise that has not been found. Davis noted that since DNA has been perfected remain s found can be identified and the government has an obligation to return tho se remains to the proper family. He said his role is to assist in finding the families and then simply refer them to the proper agency.

The system allows access to only those individuals who have proper identification upon entering the Maternity and Family Unit, Pediatrics, Radiology (X-Ray) and the Emergency Department. Those who do not have proper identification on the Maternity and Family and Pediatric Units l)lay ring a special door bell that aUows staff on the unit to view the individual on a camera. If the individual is deemed appropriate for enlrJilce to the unit, staff can remotely allow access .. As each department that is included in the security upgrade has many entrances, multiple security devices have been installed so that all entrances to the involved departments are included. "This upgmde in security is to protect both staff and patients," said Terri Brown, MSN, RNC, patient care manager of the Maternity and Family Center and Pediatrics Department at HMC. "We would like our patients, families and visitors to feet safe in our care and for our staff to havt; the op[iortunity to perform their jobs without fear. This is a new process and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding that the salety of our staff and customers is of utmost importance."

According to Connie's research of census records, in 1930 he was living in Meigs County with his father, Arthur H. Wise, and grandmother, Ella T. Wise. Her thought is that {here might still be some family living here . Connie got her initial information about the remains being found from the OHMEIGS mailing list, a posting by Harold Davis, 40th Infantry Division, who served in Korea in 1952-53. In the posting he noted that Wise gave his home of record as Meigs County. In Ohio there are 51 families that have not been located. In Meigs County it is only the family of Mr. Wise that has not been found. Davis noted that since DNA has been perfected remain s found can be identified and the government has an obligation to return tho se remains to the proper family.

The system allows access to only those individuals who have proper identification upon entering the Maternity and Family Unit, Pediatrics, Radiology (X-Ray) and the Emergency Department. Those who do not have proper identification on the Maternity and Family and Pediatric Units l)lay ring a special door bell that aUows staff on the unit to view the individual on a camera. If the individual is deemed appropriate for enlrJilce to the unit, staff can remotely allow access .. As each department that is included in the security upgrade has many entrances, multiple security devices have been installed so that all entrances to the involved departments are included. "This upgmde in security is to protect both staff and patients," said Terri Brown, MSN, RNC, patient care manager of the Maternity and Family Center and Pediatrics Department at HMC. "We would like our patients, families and visitors to feet safe in our care and for our staff to havt; the op[iortunity to perform their jobs without fear.

The track is one of four that Underwood co-wrote, a step up from her one cowrite on the debut. In fact, she had a larger hand in the whole proj.ect because there was much more time compared to the tight schedule after her "American Idol" win in 2005. "I was in the studio whether we were recording or not. If Mark (producer Mark Bright) was doing something I'd come by and listen to the background vocals that were being put down, and if I found something I didn't like maybe I'd tell the background vocalists that I think it would sound better if we did it like this ," she says.

He reportedly developed the delicacy in its current form at the Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel in Brit ain's lake district it'l 1960. "He made it really hi s trademark kind of pudding," she says.

"Tradition all y, it would come to the table lit," says Irish food hi storia n Regina Sexton. "You get that lovely blue tl ame from burning alcohol." Unlike sticky toffee pudding, Christmas pudding has a traceable history dating to the Middle Ages. It was predated by a porridge of meat , · vegetables and fruit s that evolved into pudding as cooking styles and technology advanced. The meat and vegetables gradu all y disappeared though many Chri stmas puddings still call for bee f suet - as people focused more on luxury ingredients. such as dried fruit. Sexton said the popularity of the pudding as a Christmas dish soared during the 19th century, when holiday festivitie s became more defined by popular culture influences, such as the novel s of Charle s Dickens. Many famili es still use recipe s from that era , handed down from ·generation to generation . And despite the availability of comm ercially produced puddings, Sexton says families still feel drawn to make their own Chri stmas pudding . The baking process also is reassuringly old-fas hioned. After the batter - eggs. butter. sugar, ll our. bread·crumbs, liquor, fru its and spices - is m1xed. it is boiled for up to·'eight hours, then hung in a sack to marinate for weeks. "I try to make them as early as I possibly can so the tlavors will develop," says Kay Lanigan- Ryan, the pastry chef at the Killarney Park Hotel in KiBarney, Co . Kerry. The pudding then is boiled for anoth er hour before se rving. and it is lopped with a brandy sm1ce . Some people still include coin s or trinkets in the served pudding , a centuriesold tradition meant to bring luck to the diners who discover them . Another good-fortun e custom centers around the llli Xlll g . Relatives would take turns stirring the mixture, making a wish with each turn.

The track is one of four that Underwood co-wrote, a step up from her one cowrite on the debut. In fact, she had a larger hand in the whole proj.ect because there was much more time compared to the tight schedule after her "American Idol" win in 2005. "I was in the studio whether we were recording or not. If Mark (producer Mark Bright) was doing something I'd come by and listen to the background vocals that were being put down, and if I found something I didn't like maybe I'd tell the background vocalists that I think it would sound better if we did it like this ," she says. "Mark was super open because it's my voice and my album, and in the end I'm the one who ~h~uld be most pleased with business where people are gone the next year. She's not one of those people." A petite blonde of 24, Underwood was friendly . and talkative during a recent interview at her management oflice - in sharp contrast to a "nervous one she gave AP just before her first album.

But gorgeous holiday decorations can be more than just a checkout line-fantasy. Many ideas require little more' than a trip to the grocer and a bit of experimenting. ''The first thing to do is relax," says Diana McMillen, senior food editor at Midwest Living magazine. "And keep it simple. After all, the meal yqu are eating and companionship you are sharing . are the most important things." . So, if time is precious, skip the handcrafted gingerbread village. Instead, try a variety of vases brimming with candy canes or red and green mint candies. Add some lights and greenery, and you' ve got a photo-worthy centerpiece. "In a· way, you are just adding something to tl\e meal that makes' it a little more fun ," says McMillen. "Think of centerpieces as entertainment, not a measure of your being the host or hostess." The same is true for decorations throughout the house, whether it's a trio of jars filled with sugar-coated gumdrops, stained glass cookies hung on the tree or a garland of popcorn and cranberries. All are inexpensive and easy to master. There's another benefit too: a chance to pass along a holiAP photos day family tradition. A vase filled with candy is seen in this Sunday, Nov. 25 photo.

Pas ton-Williams credits chef Francis Coulson, however, for the pudding's current popularity. He reportedly developed the delicacy in its current form at the Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel in Brit ain's lake district it'l 1960. "He made it really hi s trademark kind of pudding," she says.

"Tradition all y, it would come to the table lit," says Irish food hi storia n Regina Sexton. "You get that lovely blue tl ame from burning alcohol." Unlike sticky toffee pudding, Christmas pudding has a traceable history dating to the Middle Ages. It was predated by a porridge of meat , · vegetables and fruit s that evolved into pudding as cooking styles and technology advanced. The meat and vegetables gradu all y disappeared though many Chri stmas puddings still call for bee f suet - as people focused more on luxury ingredients. such as dried fruit. Sexton said the popularity of the pudding as a Christmas dish soared during the 19th century, when holiday festivitie s became more defined by popular culture influences, such as the novel s of Charle s Dickens. Many famili es still use recipe s from that era , handed down from ·generation to generation . And despite the availability of comm ercially produced puddings, Sexton says families still feel drawn to make their own Chri stmas pudding . The baking process also is reassuringly old-fas hioned. After the batter - eggs. butter. sugar, ll our. bread·crumbs, liquor, fru its and spices - is m1xed. it is boiled for up to·'eight hours, then hung in a sack to marinate for weeks. "I try to make them as early as I possibly can so the tlavors will develop," says Kay Lanigan- Ryan, the pastry chef at the Killarney Park Hotel in KiBarney, Co . Kerry. The pudding then is boiled for anoth er hour before se rving. and it is lopped with a brandy sm1ce . Some people still include coin s or trinkets in the served pudding , a centuriesold tradition meant to bring luck to the diners who discover them . Another good-fortun e custom centers around the llli Xlll g . Relatives would take turns stirring the mixture, making a wish with each turn.

Com Belt farmers enjoy record harvests as favorable weather ushers higher yields BY JIM SUHR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ST. LOUIS Earl Williams has heard the joke about how farmers always find a reason to complain. But . like many Midwest farmers, the northern Illinois grower of corn and soybeans has no gripes this year. "It's probably the best corn crop I've ever had ,'' Williams, 57, said from his farm near Rockford, Ill., where yields in some fields al'most doubled over last year. Friendly weather that included 14 inches of cropquenching August rain propelled Williams' farm to banner yields - · 140 to 205 bushels of corn per acre, complemented by yields of 38 to 61 bushels of soybeans per acre.

Illinois corn growers reaped 2.31 billion bushels, 27 percent more than last year, said John Hawkins of the Illinois Farm Bureau.

Soybean prices remain strong, sometimes approaching $10 a bushel. lllinois soybean growers turned out nearly 361 million bushels, down 25 percent from a year ago, Hawkins said. Nationwide, farmers brought in 2.6 billion bushels of soybeans. When it came to pricing, "it was a very good yearfor all grains," said Rick Tolman, the National Corn Growers Association's chief · executive.

Farmers now can get $3.40 to $3.60 a bushel, largely because of the demand for ethanol fuel, Tolman said. But farmers agree that challenges loom, notably when it comes to absorbing rising costs of fertilizer, diesel fuel , chemicals and seed.

Com Belt farmers enjoy record harvests as favorable weather ushers higher yields BY JIM SUHR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ST. LOUIS Earl Williams has heard the joke about how farmers always find a reason to complain. But . like many Midwest farmers, the northern Illinois grower of corn and soybeans has no gripes this year. "It's probably the best corn crop I've ever had ,'' Williams, 57, said from his farm near Rockford, Ill., where yields in some fields al'most doubled over last year. Friendly weather that included 14 inches of cropquenching August rain propelled Williams' farm to banner yields - · 140 to 205 bushels of corn per acre, complemented by yields of 38 to 61 bushels of soybeans per acre. Such te stimonials , are common throughout the Com Belt, where farmers who converted soybean acreage into cornfields to meet expected demand from ethanol plants were reward· ed with bountiful harvests lind relatively high prices. Illinois corn growers reaped 2.31 billion bushels, 27 percent more than last year, said John Hawkins of the Illinois Farm Bureau. They planted more than 13 million ac res, nearly 2 million acres more than 2006. The average yie ld of 178 bushels' per acre is the sec- AP photo Central Ill inois farmer John Lyons unloads a truck full of harvested corn at the ~armers Elevator Company in Auburn, Ill ., on Sept. 127.

Some are piling it up outside bins and grain elevators. Ohio fariJlers expect to harvest a record 541.5 million bushels this year, a 15 percent increase over 2006. Overall soybean . production fell, however, largely because of farmers' shift to corn and the lack of rainfall at key· times during the · growing season. Soybean prices remain strong, sometimes approaching $10 a bushel. lllinois soybean growers turned out nearly 361 million bushels, down 25 percent from a year ago, Hawkins said. Nationwide, farmers brought in 2.6 billion bushels of soybeans. When it came to pricing, "it was a very good yearfor all grains," said Rick Tolman, the National Corn Growers Association's chief · executive. "It's one of those rare times when most of (farmers') options looked very good ." Corn growers earned $2.20 to $2.40 a bushel this time lust year - depressed prices . lingering from the record crop of 2004. Farmers now can get $3.40 to $3.60 a bushel, largely because of the demand for ethanol fuel, Tolman said. But farmers agree that challenges loom, notably when it comes to absorbing rising costs of fertilizer, diesel fuel , chemicals and seed. Meigs County, 0 1-1 Gall ia directions and ideas to make wreaths and swags. Are you looking for ways to decorate your home for the holiday season? Look around your home in the landscape area and for some, in their woodlot. Make a list of the available greenery, twigs and seed pods that you find. Evergreen boughs of white pine, scotch pine, false cypress and fir cut be.cut for both indoor and outdoor use. Evergreen boughs of juniper, arborvitae, holly, boxwood, southern magnolia and rhododendron can be used for a few days indoor or several weeks outdoors as swags, wreaths, or just cut branches. · If you add candles to evergreen arrangements, make sure to enclose the candle in a glass chimney to minimize the risk of fire . Never leave home with a lit candle still burning. Branches of deciduous shrubs like red stemmed dogwood, flowering dogwood, burning bush, and sweet gum !ied together and inserted in sand filled cont;tiners make a quick decorative feature.Add lights, shiny baubles or ribbon for · a more festive feeling.

There's just one problem with that act of conserva.tion : It's restricted or outlawed in many areas. "We're using our bathwater and shower water to flush toilets. We were using it to water our· trees but we stopped doing that because we learned it was basically against the law," said Stacy Murphy of Durham. N.C. "The trees have gone dormant , anyway." "Gray water" is the discharge from a kitchen sink, laundry, dishwasher, bathtub or shower stall. It's not clean enough to drink, but it contains less nitrogen and patho~ens than fewer "black .water' or toilet waste. Still , it is capable of carrying enough bacteria to trigger typhoid fever, dysentery, hepatitis and other gastrointestinal or viral problems. Laura Leonard, a . spokeswoman for the North Carolina Division of Environmental Health, said gray water can have about the same amount of fecal coliform bacteria as whole wastewater. Gray water is often banned for irrigation for public health reasons. B.ut some have questioned the ban on plant watering for ornamental gardens. "When the laws were drawn up some decades ago, it was more out of public health concerns. B.ut cholera epidemics are almost a thing of the past," says Murphy, who has already cut corners as much .wvc11 as possible. She . and her husband don't wash their cars and have cut back on washing their bed linens. And now they've stopped watering their plants. Gray water does little harm if it isn't sprayed directly on edible plants and foliage, said Kim Coder, an extension forester with the University of Georgia. " It's hard to find a down side at all when you spray it on ornamental trees and shrubs - especially if you know what went into it," he said. "If you're simply washing your hands or using dishwasher detergent, the impurities become pretty diluted by the time they flow from the house." Coder participated in a pre-Thanksgiving Day meeting called to determine if Georgia's gray water policies should be relaxed in the midst of a lingering drought. While public safety trumps conservation, he said officials should find ways to reduce risk and still conserve. "If it's a matter of losing a few begonias by not watering, that's not a big deal. You can always reflace them:" he said. "But i you lose"a sizable tree from your front yard, it will be three generations before you see its like again. · "That kind of thing might make it worth taking another look at our half-centuryold regulations to see if gray water can be used (for irrigation)." Chec,k your local ordinances to see if gray water can be used in your area. The City of Gilroy, Calif., has .published these safety guidelines for gray water use during prolonged dry periods: • Do not connect your gray water drainage pifles to any part of your intenor or exterior plumbinjl system. ·This could result 111 danger- ous gray water backflow into your drinking water supply. • Gray water should not be used on root crops and such low-growing food crops as carrots, radishes, onions, lettuce and strawberries. Gray water may safely be used for taller non-root crops including bean s, corn and tomatoes if edible portions of the plant" aren't targeted. Gray water alsq may be used for turf grass, tree. and shrub irrigation. • Ensure that any gray water used for irrig-ation soaks quickly into the ground. Avoid creating ponds or generating runoff. • Do not irrigate with gray water if it was used for laundering diapers or clothing AP photo and bedding coming from .

GRAND OPENING of their Comfllunity Health Center in Pomeroy December 3rd at 113 E. Memorial Drive Pomeroy, Ohio 740-992-0540 Accepting new patients Most insurances dtctpted including Tri~Care Provider Beverly Phillips, CNP-N_urst · NEW MARKET, Va. There is nothing better than rainwater when watering plants. That's assuming, of course, you don't live in an area besieged by · drought. Rainwater is soft. water, without the salts, minerals and chlorine carried by water from residential wells or municipal systems. With the proper permitting, it can be used indoors for pets, flushing toilets and soaking plants. Outdoors, it can be used for irrigating lawns and gardens. Rainwater also isn ' t as cold as water taken from the tap or a hose, so its spray won 't shock plants and vegetables. And then there '·s the clincher: The price is certainly right. "Aside from installing rain gutters and adding containers, rainwater· is free," said Reagan Waskom, director of the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute. Just be sure to test acidity and purity levels if you plan to drink it. Rain in industrialized areas begins collecting impurities in . the atmosphere. But pollutants really begin to accumulate once rain strikes the ground or roof. Rain gathers up • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ~~~~~ll \\ .
