Bear runs with dead deer! Worms slow tram' In newspapers that strive to have the most up-to-date information regarding politics, crime and corruption, stories such as these take a back seat or are simply ignored. Not the case for The Budget. The weekly newspaper, produced in this city about 70 miles south of Cleveland, caters to about 20,000 "Plain People;• or Mennonites and Amish who traditionally shun modern conveniences such as electricity, telephones and cars. "When you pick up other papers, usually the first things you read are about the bad things in the world," said Elsie Sommers, a C INCINNATI (AP) - The state asked a federal appeals court on Friday to reconsider its decision striking down Cleveland's school voucher program. The Ohio attorney general's office asked the entire 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case. The 12-judge panel will dccid'c whether to gram the rehearing. The voucher program will remain in effect while the court considers the state's request. A three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled on Dec. 11 that the voucher program is unconstitutional because it uses tax money to send students to religious schools. By a 2-1 vote, the panel upheld a federal judge's finding that the program favors religious schools. Of the 56 schools that receive voucher money, 46 have a reli- HOURS: Closed Christmas Day Open; Monday thru Saturday 9 am - 6 pm Closed Sundays thru Winter ~----------------~--------~ . atives." The Budget jncludes local and national news and looks like a typical weekly except for its inside sections, which are mailed to a wider circulation. Those seccions have no photos and contain stories about everyday life in Amish communiries. The paper was founded as The Sugar Creek Budget in 1890 by John C. Miller, a farmer from nearby Walnut Creek. He printed letters from friends and relatives as a way of keeping readers in touch with other Anlish communities. S.A. Smith, who was not Amish, later bought the paper and maintained that practice. George R. Smith took over The Budget in 1936 when his father was named postmaster of Sugarcreek, just east of Holmes County - the world's largest -settlement of Amish. He served as national editor for 7 4 years, until •hartly before his death in October at age 93. The Budget is now published by Albert Spector. George R. Smith began working in the print room at age 13. The Dudgct buildingnamed after him - was the only place of employment he knew, said Fannie Erb-Miller, his successor as national editor. gious affiliation . The divided ruling led Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery to ask the entire appeals court for a hearing. "The attorney general, after consulting with the governor and legislators, decided the issue is of high enough importance to go forward," spokesman Joe Case said. Both sides expect the case to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which passed up opportunities to consider sinlilar cases frmn Wisconsin and Maine. The U.S. Supreme Court let a voucher program stand that includes religious schools in Milwaukee, and did not take up a challenge to a 1999 federal appeals court ruling allowing Maine to subsidize children who attend nonreligious private schools.

Not the case for The Budget. The weekly newspaper, produced in this city about 70 miles south of Cleveland, caters to about 20,000 "Plain People;• or Mennonites and Amish who traditionally shun modern conveniences such as electricity, telephones and cars.

The Ohio attorney general's office asked the entire 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case. The 12-judge panel will dccid'c whether to gram the rehearing. The voucher program will remain in effect while the court considers the state's request. A three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled on Dec. 11 that the voucher program is unconstitutional because it uses tax money to send students to religious schools. By a 2-1 vote, the panel upheld a federal judge's finding that the program favors religious schools.

The Budget jncludes local and national news and looks like a typical weekly except for its inside sections, which are mailed to a wider circulation. Those seccions have no photos and contain stories about everyday life in Amish communiries. The paper was founded as The Sugar Creek Budget in 1890 by John C. Miller, a farmer from nearby Walnut Creek. He printed letters from friends and relatives as a way of keeping readers in touch with other Anlish communities. S.A. Smith, who was not Amish, later bought the paper and maintained that practice. George R. Smith took over The Budget in 1936 when his father was named postmaster of Sugarcreek, just east of Holmes County - the world's largest -settlement of Amish. He served as national editor for 7 4 years, until •hartly before his death in October at age 93. The Budget is now published by Albert Spector. George R.

The divided ruling led Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery to ask the entire appeals court for a hearing. "The attorney general, after consulting with the governor and legislators, decided the issue is of high enough importance to go forward," spokesman Joe Case said. Both sides expect the case to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which passed up opportunities to consider sinlilar cases frmn Wisconsin and Maine. The U.S. Supreme Court let a voucher program stand that includes religious schools in Milwaukee, and did not take up a challenge to a 1999 federal appeals court ruling allowing Maine to subsidize children who attend nonreligious private schools.

Renewal, charity top list at holiday time As Christmas approaches, we are ofteJi reri1inded the day isn't ~bout gift-givmg. Indeed, the meanings of Christmas arc varied, but tire overriding reason is to celebrate is the birth of Jesus Christ. Within that meaning are others, not the least of which is a sense of personal renewal. Usually that's left for New Year, when resolutions an~ nude to be a better person in the cmning year. But Christmas is as good a time as any for us to take stock of our situation, see if improvement is needed and then act on that motivation. One of the enduring reasons why Charles Dickens"'A Christmas Carol" has been a holiday favorite is its message of reformation aild salvation. Dickens' Scrooge, through supernatural intervention, was made to realize that he had the power to make a difference in people's lives, qther than exploit them. The joy he experiences after his night with t})e three ghosts has caused him to see the error of his ways jumps off the page as gleefully now as it did when the tale was first published in 1843. · Not all of us face Scrooge's predicament. But the simultaneous celehration of the Christ child's birth and the approaching new year make an excellent time for us to comnut to treating our fellow man with more charity. Bob Cratchit, Scrooge's downrrodden clerk, voJCes this sentiment aptly when tells his wife how Tiny Tim understood people's embarrassment and pity at his lameness. Rather than be resentful, the boy instead tries to put them at ease. :charity is of course one of the hallmarks of this season, and all around us examples of the needy getting gifts, food, warmth and ·companionship abound. But that kind of feeling toward people isn't something we should indulge only once a year. True, the need is greater at this time of celebration, but the fact there is a need all year long tells us the same spirit of charity should also be evident every day. That's a message we hear often now, but it has a point. The people staging dinners, stocking food pantries, donating clothing and doing other acts of kindness carry that spirit with them all the time. It's not forgotten oryce Dec. 25 is ove r. As we open presents or sit down to our holi,Jay dinner, we should indeed be thankful that through caring, Christmas is available to anyone in our communities who wants to participa[e. On that note, let us wish you all a safe :~nd merry Christmas. Vidim reflects on incident OUR READERS' VIEWS Saying ·thank you ' Editor: Dear On behalf of the 70-plus attendees; Capt.

For that was when it all came together, and Jt was possible - all too briefly - to visualize vic..:tory at last. For weeks his spokesmen, and their allies in the media, had been drunnmng into the public consc iousness a gross and cynical falsehood: that there existed, in various Democratic strongholds around the state, 14,000 ballots that had, for some obscure re ason , never been counted at all. These were, in fact, the so-called "undervotes" - ballots on which the voters had voted for other offices, but not for the presidency. They had, in truth, all been counted indeed, cou nted twice: once ln [he original machine count and again during the autq matic machine recount. In both cases, the machine had reported that no vote had been cast for president. But now the Gore forces demanded that they be counted a third tune, by hand, in a desperate effort to find on them some indication of the voter's supposed "rL·a l" in'tent- a clue that the machine had m"sed: a "dimple" on a chad, a scratch of some sort.

Weirton Steel to lay off Judge orders Charleston 1,080 during next week ·to settle 20-year-old suit WEIRTON, W.Va. (AP) Weirton Steel Corp. announced Friday it will lay off25 percent of its hourly and management employees during Christmas week. The company blamed the decision on steel imports and the need to control costs. Next Week, 1,080 of the steel maker's 4,300 employees will be off work. At least 200 will not be immediately called back in January because one of the company's bla_st furnaces will rem.1in offline. "This is fairly consistent with the rest of the industry," company spokesman Gregg Warren said Friday. The action was' anticipated as the company announced Thursday that it expected fourth-quarter earnings would show a $52.5 nullion loss. The loss will translate to about $1.35 per share. Production is expect~d to increase early next year as orders for tin plate, which represents 40 percent of the null's production and revenue, are up, officials said. Mark Glyptis, president of the Independent Steelworkes Union, said although the layoffi were anticipated, "it's still a hardship and there's a great deal of pain here during Christmas time.~' The latest layoffi come as the company struggles . with low prices and imports, said Weirton Steel President John Walker. "The reality, given marketplace conditions, is that decisions on operations and employment can be made only on a week-byweek basis,"Walker said in a statement. "Until Washington provides substantial relief to the import crisis, this is the way the industry has to operate." Weirton St.eel laid off 2,800 during the week of Thanksgiving. Workers were recalled after 10 days. Nearby Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. announced it would lay off another 280 workers and reduce management incentives. . Many Northern Panhandle residents dependent on the n;Ulls blame the Clinton administration for failing to protect the nation's steel industry fi:om imports. President-elect Bush said little about trade policy during the campaign, but Vice Presidentelect Dick Cheney told Weirton Steel workers in October that "if our trading partners violate trade laws, we will respond swiftly and firmly." Chairman Dave Hardy said. "I have no idea where that money would come fiom." The 22-year police department veteran was fired in [ 97 8 after he was accused of violating police procedures. The dismissal came after David Scarberry, 16, said he saw Goff and Sharon Knight ''making out" in the cruiser. He accused Goff qf leaving the car, punching him and knocking him to the ground.

Renewal, charity top list at holiday time As Christmas approaches, we are ofteJi reri1inded the day isn't ~bout gift-givmg. Indeed, the meanings of Christmas arc varied, but tire overriding reason is to celebrate is the birth of Jesus Christ. Within that meaning are others, not the least of which is a sense of personal renewal. Usually that's left for New Year, when resolutions an~ nude to be a better person in the cmning year. But Christmas is as good a time as any for us to take stock of our situation, see if improvement is needed and then act on that motivation. One of the enduring reasons why Charles Dickens"'A Christmas Carol" has been a holiday favorite is its message of reformation aild salvation. Dickens' Scrooge, through supernatural intervention, was made to realize that he had the power to make a difference in people's lives, qther than exploit them. The joy he experiences after his night with t})e three ghosts has caused him to see the error of his ways jumps off the page as gleefully now as it did when the tale was first published in 1843. · Not all of us face Scrooge's predicament. But the simultaneous celehration of the Christ child's birth and the approaching new year make an excellent time for us to comnut to treating our fellow man with more charity. Bob Cratchit, Scrooge's downrrodden clerk, voJCes this sentiment aptly when tells his wife how Tiny Tim understood people's embarrassment and pity at his lameness. Rather than be resentful, the boy instead tries to put them at ease. :charity is of course one of the hallmarks of this season, and all around us examples of the needy getting gifts, food, warmth and ·companionship abound. But that kind of feeling toward people isn't something we should indulge only once a year. True, the need is greater at this time of celebration, but the fact there is a need all year long tells us the same spirit of charity should also be evident every day. That's a message we hear often now, but it has a point. The people staging dinners, stocking food pantries, donating clothing and doing other acts of kindness carry that spirit with them all the time. It's not forgotten oryce Dec. 25 is ove r. As we open presents or sit down to our holi,Jay dinner, we should indeed be thankful that through caring, Christmas is available to anyone in our communities who wants to participa[e. On that note, let us wish you all a safe :~nd merry Christmas. Vidim reflects on incident OUR READERS' VIEWS Saying ·thank you ' Editor: Dear On behalf of the 70-plus attendees; Capt.

For that was when it all came together, and Jt was possible - all too briefly - to visualize vic..:tory at last. For weeks his spokesmen, and their allies in the media, had been drunnmng into the public consc iousness a gross and cynical falsehood: that there existed, in various Democratic strongholds around the state, 14,000 ballots that had, for some obscure re ason , never been counted at all. These were, in fact, the so-called "undervotes" - ballots on which the voters had voted for other offices, but not for the presidency. They had, in truth, all been counted indeed, cou nted twice: once ln [he original machine count and again during the autq matic machine recount. In both cases, the machine had reported that no vote had been cast for president. But now the Gore forces demanded that they be counted a third tune, by hand, in a desperate effort to find on them some indication of the voter's supposed "rL·a l" in'tent- a clue that the machine had m"sed: a "dimple" on a chad, a scratch of some sort. "l et the votes bt: countedH we11t the lll<Hltr.l, and wllar sounds more reasonable than that?

Wells infeded MARTINSBURG (AP)- Up to 60 percent of water wells in portions of Berkeley County may be con~1minated by E. coli and other bacteria, shows a study presented to the county commission. · "I think when you take this home and read it, you will be shocked,'' Dan Dirting told commissioners Thursday when delivering the study. , The study w.~s conducted by the Potomac Headwaters Resource Conservation and Development Council. It was based on water sam. ples taken in June from 50 county wells. [n addition to E. coli, tl1e study found levels of fecal coliform, clostridimll and giardia in the water samples. Drinking water contaminated by the bacteria can cause ~ness. It was not clear how many . county residents depend on wells for drinking water.

Weirton Steel to lay off Judge orders Charleston 1,080 during next week ·to settle 20-year-old suit WEIRTON, W.Va. (AP) Weirton Steel Corp. announced Friday it will lay off25 percent of its hourly and management employees during Christmas week. The company blamed the decision on steel imports and the need to control costs. Next Week, 1,080 of the steel maker's 4,300 employees will be off work. At least 200 will not be immediately called back in January because one of the company's bla_st furnaces will rem.1in offline. "This is fairly consistent with the rest of the industry," company spokesman Gregg Warren said Friday. The action was' anticipated as the company announced Thursday that it expected fourth-quarter earnings would show a $52.5 nullion loss. The loss will translate to about $1.35 per share. Production is expect~d to increase early next year as orders for tin plate, which represents 40 percent of the null's production and revenue, are up, officials said. Mark Glyptis, president of the Independent Steelworkes Union, said although the layoffi were anticipated, "it's still a hardship and there's a great deal of pain here during Christmas time.~' The latest layoffi come as the company struggles . with low prices and imports, said Weirton Steel President John Walker. "The reality, given marketplace conditions, is that decisions on operations and employment can be made only on a week-byweek basis,"Walker said in a statement. "Until Washington provides substantial relief to the import crisis, this is the way the industry has to operate." Weirton St.eel laid off 2,800 during the week of Thanksgiving. Workers were recalled after 10 days. Nearby Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. announced it would lay off another 280 workers and reduce management incentives. . Many Northern Panhandle residents dependent on the n;Ulls blame the Clinton administration for failing to protect the nation's steel industry fi:om imports. President-elect Bush said little about trade policy during the campaign, but Vice Presidentelect Dick Cheney told Weirton Steel workers in October that "if our trading partners violate trade laws, we will respond swiftly and firmly." Chairman Dave Hardy said. "I have no idea where that money would come fiom." The 22-year police department veteran was fired in [ 97 8 after he was accused of violating police procedures. The dismissal came after David Scarberry, 16, said he saw Goff and Sharon Knight ''making out" in the cruiser. He accused Goff qf leaving the car, punching him and knocking him to the ground.

NEW YORK (AP) Once Hillary Rodham Clinton begins . her $8 million memoirs, she might follow any number of paths. She could write a confessional book, like Berry Ford's "The Times of My Life." She could settle . scores, like Nancy Reagan or Edith Bolt Wilson. She could tell a comprehensive story, like R 'osalynn Carter's "Fmt Lady From Plains," or attempt a serious, instructive memoir, like "The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt." Whatever she does, Mrs. Clinton will continue a genre few could have imagined a century ago. First ladies were once expected to keep their stories to themselves. Now, their memoirs are so popular tile}' often outsell their husbands'. "Until the 20th century, there was a certain degree of ambivalence about whether first ladies should reveal th eir roles in the administration and the degree they exercised power," said Carl Sferrazza Anthony, whose books include "America's First Families'' and a two-volume history on first ladies. "But now their memoirs are greatly valued for at least two reasons. They're probably the most revealing published documents on the personalities and characterS of the presidents. Secondly, they give you the fullest perspective on the president in the context of a fami1y." Since Betty Ford, every first lady has told her story. Mrs. Clinton's inunediate predecessors, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan, each reportedly got $2 million advances and their memoirs sold better than any book by their husbands. Julia Dent Grant, widow of the 18th president, is believed to be the first presidential spouse to attempt a memoir. But her price proved far too high. Inspired by the great conm1ercial success of Ulysses Grant's autobiography, she wanted $125,000, a figure too rich even for her friend Andrew Carnegie.

NEW YORK (AP) Once Hillary Rodham Clinton begins . her $8 million memoirs, she might follow any number of paths. She could write a confessional book, like Berry Ford's "The Times of My Life." She could settle . scores, like Nancy Reagan or Edith Bolt Wilson. She could tell a comprehensive story, like R 'osalynn Carter's "Fmt Lady From Plains," or attempt a serious, instructive memoir, like "The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt." Whatever she does, Mrs. Clinton will continue a genre few could have imagined a century ago. First ladies were once expected to keep their stories to themselves. Now, their memoirs are so popular tile}' often outsell their husbands'. "Until the 20th century, there was a certain degree of ambivalence about whether first ladies should reveal th eir roles in the administration and the degree they exercised power," said Carl Sferrazza Anthony, whose books include "America's First Families'' and a two-volume history on first ladies. "But now their memoirs are greatly valued for at least two reasons. They're probably the most revealing published documents on the personalities and characterS of the presidents. Secondly, they give you the fullest perspective on the president in the context of a fami1y." Since Betty Ford, every first lady has told her story. Mrs. Clinton's inunediate predecessors, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan, each reportedly got $2 million advances and their memoirs sold better than any book by their husbands. Julia Dent Grant, widow of the 18th president, is believed to be the first presidential spouse to attempt a memoir. But her price proved far too high. Inspired by the great conm1ercial success of Ulysses Grant's autobiography, she wanted $125,000, a figure too rich even for her friend Andrew Carnegie.

His lov<; is manifested in the second person of the Blessed Trinity becoming one of us called the incarnation, God becommg man. Why would God do such a thing? Love - He loves everything He .created, but most of all He loves mankind. He has gifted us with an intellect and free will. God will not force us to return his love only invite us to do so. The love He gives freely, He wishes us to return freely. Christmas reminds us of the love God has shown to us in the person of Jesus Christ and at this very special time of the year invites us to return that love. How do we do that? Don't allow the material trappings of the seaons keep you from serious reflection. Get beyond the shopping, decorating, parties, etc. to say thank you to the greatest act of love the world has ever known. Make time to reflect on the real meaning of Chri~t­ mas, to teach our children that the true meaning of gift giving is to remind us. of the greatest gift of all given to us by an all-loving God. So this Christmas, take the time, make the time, give the time that is necessary to say a prayer of thanksgiving to God the father, for creating you, God the Son, for redeeming you, and God the Holy Spirit for sanctifying you.

The season 1s a much richer experience when we can find a place at our table for both. My family combines Christmas festivities .and feasting with family remembrance in the creation and lighting of a Memory Candle. A large white pillar candle is. passed around to family and friends who have gathered and each guest writes, with a silver or gold paint pen, the nan1e of some~ one they wish to remember. This is done in a very informal way, while people are mingling and visiting and the pming of the candle tends_ to spark wonderful and heartfelt conversations about Holiday> P"st and those who are missed. It is a wonderful way to bring those loved ones back into our homes . for the younger generations to meet. Just before dinner is served, the candle is lit and is allowed to burn throughollt the remainder of our evening together. My own grandfather died j ust before I was born and so I never had the opportunity to know him personally. But, I did grow up with a very strong sense of the man he had been. I relived, through my parents, many of his adventures and tales. I have always felt I ki1ew this stocky Italian man who worked the railroad and played bealltiful music on his mandolin. He I• 1 been a lover of traditional Italian opera aqd so had my f.1ther -- a passion they have passed on to me. This is how my grandfather lives on -- through tradition and the telling of his story.The name Salvatore always has a prominent place . on our Memory Candle. If we search our family history, we will find a wealth of tradition and lore. Perhaps we stem from German lineage, where the ~ustom of bringing an evergreen into the home and decorating it with garlands first began. We may be of Welsh decent and continue the ancient tradition of decoratmg and burning a Yule log and hanging spri~ of holly. near the entrance to our homes. Through these connec- Reed _ from Page Cl ly be in keeping with the spirit of the day. It's not that I wasn 't interested in the play. I looked fotward to it, not only as a fun experience in and of itself, but as a part of the whole 1980s Christm"s experience. I liked going to practice, since my friend< were there, and there were usually refreshments "fterward. But le"rning lines was not a priority. I would whip out my script on the school bus, or in study hall, but I, like most adolescents, was easily distracted. By the time I made the realization that it was, finally, now or never, the dull gnawing in the pit of my stomach made concentration difficult. · To make a long story shorter, I learned most of my lines, and, with - tions to our own personal histori~ we can make sense of our Jives. ~ can und er-;~1nd them more fully express our experiences mq,re deeply. We can pass the glea~d wisdom on to our childten. TheU: is no better ttme th"n now II> begin sharing the past.

The purpose of this su rvey wi ll be to el'aluate the organ izat ion' s inqumnve eyebrow at his hasty response seems funny now. But I didn't. My mother and I walked on--just a little slower. Soon my father caught up with us, slightly out of breath but brandishing his small black pocket comb. He had found it. (and he had certainly been gone long enough, I thought.) We w:llked, star gazed and talked about which direction Santa might fly in from . I watched very carefitUy. No Santa and no reindeer. But as I am sure you have guessed, he had somehow managed to slip into my house while we were gone and leave gifts beneath our tree. Each year my father would become more and n1ore inventive abouc sneaking Santa into our home. We all have little stories like that from . childhood ~- moments, events that stand out to us and beg to be told. Now that I have my own family, I have continued the tradition of Christmas Eve celebration -- feasting and gift exchanges. With Pomeroy being a little too cold for Christmas Eve strolls, ! ' would take my boys out in the car to view the Christmas lights of our community -- my hwband would always want to stay home and "do some W<l;fk 11 • Find some time today -- now that the rush of shopping a~d preparation is past -- to sit back and reflect on those mditions and rituals that linger from your own childh ood Which still hold some m~aning fo r you' Which would you like to relive with your children or grandchildren?

However, it ts important to remember that this is only true if we pause and allow it to be so. Like most lt"lian-American children, I grew up in a home where Santa visited on the Eve of Christmas rather than in the morning. I always felt a little privileged by this earlier-than- usual VISit. But, because Santa would' visit our hoiue during the evening, it became, as I grew older, more challenging for him to deliver gifts with secrecy. I remember one Eve most vividly.We lived in a small seaside community in Florida, where evening walks in December were always a welcome distraction. I remember my father, a gentle and· generous man, suggesting we take a walk to look for Santa in the night sky. My mother, who was ofWelsh descent and more accustomed to the briskness of a northern winter, pulled a light sweater over my shoulders and led me, by hand, down the walk and onto our wellworn path. We h"dn 't been walking long when my father stopp ed and, seemingly upset that he had forgotten something,. turned back toward our hom e. When I "sked him whe re he w"s gomg, he quickly responded that he had forgotten his comb. I must admit I was wounded by his lack of interest in S"nt"·scarching, but I took his excuse at f.1ce value.

The season 1s a much richer experience when we can find a place at our table for both. My family combines Christmas festivities .and feasting with family remembrance in the creation and lighting of a Memory Candle. A large white pillar candle is. passed around to family and friends who have gathered and each guest writes, with a silver or gold paint pen, the nan1e of some~ one they wish to remember. This is done in a very informal way, while people are mingling and visiting and the pming of the candle tends_ to spark wonderful and heartfelt conversations about Holiday> P"st and those who are missed. It is a wonderful way to bring those loved ones back into our homes . for the younger generations to meet. Just before dinner is served, the candle is lit and is allowed to burn throughollt the remainder of our evening together. My own grandfather died j ust before I was born and so I never had the opportunity to know him personally. But, I did grow up with a very strong sense of the man he had been. I relived, through my parents, many of his adventures and tales. I have always felt I ki1ew this stocky Italian man who worked the railroad and played bealltiful music on his mandolin. He I• 1 been a lover of traditional Italian opera aqd so had my f.1ther -- a passion they have passed on to me. This is how my grandfather lives on -- through tradition and the telling of his story.The name Salvatore always has a prominent place . on our Memory Candle. If we search our family history, we will find a wealth of tradition and lore. Perhaps we stem from German lineage, where the ~ustom of bringing an evergreen into the home and decorating it with garlands first began. We may be of Welsh decent and continue the ancient tradition of decoratmg and burning a Yule log and hanging spri~ of holly. near the entrance to our homes. Through these connec- Reed _ from Page Cl ly be in keeping with the spirit of the day. It's not that I wasn 't interested in the play. I looked fotward to it, not only as a fun experience in and of itself, but as a part of the whole 1980s Christm"s experience. I liked going to practice, since my friend< were there, and there were usually refreshments "fterward. But le"rning lines was not a priority. I would whip out my script on the school bus, or in study hall, but I, like most adolescents, was easily distracted. By the time I made the realization that it was, finally, now or never, the dull gnawing in the pit of my stomach made concentration difficult. · To make a long story shorter, I learned most of my lines, and, with - tions to our own personal histori~ we can make sense of our Jives. ~ can und er-;~1nd them more fully express our experiences mq,re deeply. We can pass the glea~d wisdom on to our childten. TheU: is no better ttme th"n now II> begin sharing the past. So tim what has gone will not be forgotten, but allowed to live on throu gh the eyes of new genrr.ttions.

The purpose of this su rvey wi ll be to el'aluate the organ izat ion' s inqumnve eyebrow at his hasty response seems funny now. But I didn't. My mother and I walked on--just a little slower. Soon my father caught up with us, slightly out of breath but brandishing his small black pocket comb. He had found it. (and he had certainly been gone long enough, I thought.) We w:llked, star gazed and talked about which direction Santa might fly in from . I watched very carefitUy. No Santa and no reindeer. But as I am sure you have guessed, he had somehow managed to slip into my house while we were gone and leave gifts beneath our tree. Each year my father would become more and n1ore inventive abouc sneaking Santa into our home. We all have little stories like that from . childhood ~- moments, events that stand out to us and beg to be told. Now that I have my own family, I have continued the tradition of Christmas Eve celebration -- feasting and gift exchanges. With Pomeroy being a little too cold for Christmas Eve strolls, ! ' would take my boys out in the car to view the Christmas lights of our community -- my hwband would always want to stay home and "do some W<l;fk 11 • Find some time today -- now that the rush of shopping a~d preparation is past -- to sit back and reflect on those mditions and rituals that linger from your own childh ood Which still hold some m~aning fo r you' Which would you like to relive with your children or grandchildren?

However, it ts important to remember that this is only true if we pause and allow it to be so. Like most lt"lian-American children, I grew up in a home where Santa visited on the Eve of Christmas rather than in the morning. I always felt a little privileged by this earlier-than- usual VISit. But, because Santa would' visit our hoiue during the evening, it became, as I grew older, more challenging for him to deliver gifts with secrecy. I remember one Eve most vividly.We lived in a small seaside community in Florida, where evening walks in December were always a welcome distraction. I remember my father, a gentle and· generous man, suggesting we take a walk to look for Santa in the night sky. My mother, who was ofWelsh descent and more accustomed to the briskness of a northern winter, pulled a light sweater over my shoulders and led me, by hand, down the walk and onto our wellworn path. We h"dn 't been walking long when my father stopp ed and, seemingly upset that he had forgotten something,. turned back toward our hom e. When I "sked him whe re he w"s gomg, he quickly responded that he had forgotten his comb. I must admit I was wounded by his lack of interest in S"nt"·scarching, but I took his excuse at f.1ce value.

Few people are able to realize their dream, but Julia Messick feels blessed because not only was she able to fulfill her w ishes of ownin g a business, but· she was able to buy .the type of business she wanted - a Christian book store. Messick is celebrating her first year of owning Will~ Bible Bo,okstore located on Main Street in !'oint Pleasant. Although she is new at the helm of the business, the store has been a mainstay in Point Pleasant for more than 18 years. In addition to Bibles, the bookstore carries a variery of goods, including inspirational gifts, religious books, music and accompaniment tracks,' cards, children's Christian prod- ucts and dothing. The store also carries supplies for Sunday schools and Vacation Bible School. Messick said the store se rvices more than 50 c hurches in th e area, including those in Mason, Gallia and Meigs counties, as well as ~ome churches in Jac kson and Putnam counties in West Virginia. Special orders aren't a problem for the store either. Messick said if a product is carried in the store, she can order products for customers without a long wait for the product to arrive. In addition to the special ordering, if a client wants to customize a gift, such as adding a name to a Bible, the imprinting can be done at the store the same day. In addition to Messick and her husband, Bob, who also works at the store, she employs two full-time staffers and on part time employee.

In addition to Bibles, the bookstore carries a variery of goods, including inspirational gifts, religious books, music and accompaniment tracks,' cards, children's Christian prod- ucts and dothing. The store also carries supplies for Sunday schools and Vacation Bible School. Messick said the store se rvices more than 50 c hurches in th e area, including those in Mason, Gallia and Meigs counties, as well as ~ome churches in Jac kson and Putnam counties in West Virginia. Special orders aren't a problem for the store either. Messick said if a product is carried in the store, she can order products for customers without a long wait for the product to arrive. In addition to the special ordering, if a client wants to customize a gift, such as adding a name to a Bible, the imprinting can be done at the store the same day.
