WEATHER Charlene Hoeflichlphoto Peoples Bank employee Samantha Lavender looks over the supply of coats yet to be distributed in the Coats for Kids program. Program supplies more than 100 kids with winter coats BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH llOEFLICI-@MYDAILYSENT!NELCOM POMEROY - Brrrr. it's cold outside. But today more than a hundred kids without coats now have one to keep them warm, thanks to the employees at Peoples Bank and contributions from the community. The Coats for Kids program was started in 1984 by employees of Bank One and later taken over by Peoples Bank employees. It began as the result of a concern expressed by some ,teachers who noticed that many children were coming to school on cold days either not wearing a coat at all or one too small or too large. Over the past 26 years more than 3,000 coats have been distributed to children in the three school districts of Meigs County. As of Friday more than 100 had been given out to children this year. More hang in the bank storage room available to any child in need of a coat. Every year parents contribute good coats outgrown by their own children. bank employees hold fund raisers, and some individuals and organizations contribute money to the project. The whole process of getting the coats to the kids whO' need them begins in the schools. Letters and forms are sent to the teachers who are asked to "observe the need." The forms with numbers and sizes noted are returned and then the bank personnel begins the process of matching coats to kids. Money donated or raised by the bank is used to purchase coats where the right size isn't available in those donated. This year coats have been given to children at Carleton School in addition to those in the elementary and intermediate grades of Meigs Local, Southern Local and Eastern Local Schools. And today because of a community which •cares, more than a hundred children have a nice coat to keep them warm on cold winter days. Pass the salt, plows: Meigs Co. road crews gear up for winter BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINELCOM High: 32 Low: 18 INDEX 4 SECTIONS- 24 PAGES A\found Town • celebrations Classifieds Comics Editorials B Section Sports © 2010 Ohio Vallt-y Publishing Co. llllii!I!IJIJIII! 1!1! I!Ill II I POMEROY - The first snow of winter has hit Meigs County causing local officials to take stock on road salt, cinders and plows but just how ready are' they? C.T. Chapman of the Meigs County Highway Department said the county is prepared and stocked with excess tons of salt and cinders left over from last winter. In addition, Chapman said the county has been approved to purchase 750 tons of road salt this year from Morton Salt. Morton has guaranteed the county that 750 ton of salt at $64.28 per ton a far cry from the $1 06.90 per ton the county (along with many others) paid during the 2008-09 winter when a salt shortage happened throughout Ohio. Chapman said the county is responsible for maintaining 260 total miles of road and has nine tandem trucks as well as three singleaxle tn1cks to treat and plow those roads. Operating these vehicles are 22 union employees. Pomeroy, the county seat, has around 75l 00 tons of road salt on hand and left over from last winter, according to Clerk Treasurer Kathy Hysell. Hysell said though Street Superintendent Jack Krautter has asked to order more salt for this winter, the village hasn't had the money to do so as of late. Last fall the village ordered 100 ton of salt which arrived last November at a cost of $62 per ton plus freight. In contrast, Racine Village doesn't use road salt. Clerk Treasurer David Spencer said the The Ohio Department of Transportation website reports its Meigs garage has 2,268 tons of salt on hand and 1,994 of aggregate to treat the roads. Last year, ODOT said its Meigs garage used 2,862 tons of salt and 2,769 tons of aggregate to get through the winter. village feels salt does more harm than good to the roads - roads which have recently been repaved. Instead, the street department uses cinders and sand to treat roads as well as a snow plow.

Last year, ODOT said its Meigs garage used 2.862 tons of salt and 2,769 tons of aggreg~te to get through the winter. Of the nine counties which make up ODOT's District LO, a total of 32,574 tons of salt and 31,859 tons of aggregate were used to treat roads last winter. ODOT reports District 10 currently has a total of 40.022 tons of salt and 13,848 tons of aggregate on hand to treat roads.

While the snow can bring excitement, it als0 can create unsafe driving conditions. According to AAA. drivers take risks every time they get behind the wheel, however, those risks are elevated when coupled with ice and snow. "Be aware of your surroundings and listen to weather and traffic conditions in places that you will be traveling to," Terri Anthony, AAA safety advisor said in a news release. "Make sure you leave yourself enough time so that you will not feel hurried or take unnecessary chances. Avoid driving in icy conditions." Although residents are encouraged to avoid driving on snowy or roads, many must brave the zardous conditions in order to • fulfill job and other commitments. AAA encourages motorists who must drive in unsafe winter weather to adhere to the following tips: • Make sure windows are free of dirt and grime. Also. be sure to keep the windshield wiper reservoir full at all times. · • Clean headlights to ensure proper visibility. • Clean snow off the vehicle prior to driving. Ice and snow can interfere with vision and can become dangerous projectiles that damage other vehicles and affect the visibility of other drivers. • Jnflate vehicle tires to the manufacturer's specifications. Also make sure that the tires have plenty of tread for proper traction. • Sit at least 10 inches away from the steering wheel so that there is plenty of room for emergency steering maneuvers and also to giv~ the airbag room to inflate. • Wear a seat belt low across the hips and on the shoulders. • Keep an emergency kit in the vehicle at all times. The kit should contain an ice scraper; cloth or roll of paper towels; battery starter cables; blanket; warning devices, such as flares or triangles; window washing solvent; flashlight; traction mats; snow brush; snow shovel; tire chains; and a small bag of abrasive material. such as sand. salt or kitty litter for traction. • When driving in snow or ice, increase the fo1lowing distance to ensure that there is plenty of room to maneuver the vehicle if an emergency occurs. • If unable to stop in time to avoid hitting something, steer around it. At 45 miles per hour it takes less than half the time to steer than to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. • When driving on ice, do not make any quick changes in speed or direction. If the vehicle starts to skid, let off the brake or gas pedal. Just before the wheels stop skidding. counter steer until the vehicle is moving in the desired direction.

Live nativity Friday at Cornerstone Academy BY DELYSSA HUFFMAN DHUFFMAN@MYDAILYREGISTERCOM HARTFORD, W.Va. - Cornerstone Academy in Hartford will be performing a live nativity next ·' Friday at the school, and this week, students are busily preparing to·make the event a special one. "Because of the secularization of Christmas and · because there are many people who don't know the real meaning of Christmas, we decided to perform a live nativity as an outreach to our local community," Lisa Bumgarner, administrator for the school said. The live performance also will include a narra- . tion of the Biblical Christmas Story from the book of St. Luke and singing of the traditional faithbased Cluistmas carols. And the students won't be the only ones involved. "We also will have live animals, including -goats. sheep and chickens." Bumgarner said. The entire school, grades K-7 are participating, and according to Bumgarner, "the children are very excited." They are currently practicing twice a day to prepare for their big debut. • The live nativity begins at 6:30p.m., Dec. 10 at the school. Refreshments will be served inside. "This is a community outreach, so we urge people to bring their unsaved friends," Bumgarner added.

Yet investors have and less interbeen ace , just as they est· on their were improv · would if fin of other omi- nous signs. Some voters in San Diego are pushing the city to file for bankruptcy to get out from under $3.5 billion in unfunded pension and health care costs for workers. The possibility of bankruptcy has been looming over Detroit's school system for nearly two years. The city council of Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, recently voted to hire a bankruptcy adviser. "Do we cut salaries or operate fewer buses - or do we pay all the interest'' on our bonds? says Michael Aronstein. chief investment officer of Oscar Gruss & Sons Inc.. a research and brokerage firm. "All these are possibilities when the numbers no longer work.'' The numbers stopped working for Vallejo, Calif.. 2112 years ago. Faced with rising bills for its public workers and falling property taxes. the city of 20,000 filed for bankruptcy. Though it has promised to make good on its debt eventually, it isn't paying full interest on all its bonds. Whether there will be many more Vallejos JS anyone's guess, but the history of munis is not completely reassuring. In the Great Depression. governments defaulted on 11 percent of munis, notes James Grant in a recent issue of Grant's Interest Rate Observer. The lesson: In times of crisis. moral compunctions about reneging on promises to investors are forgotten. The $114 billion budget shortfall confronting U.S. states is down from $191 billion in fiscal 20 I 0, according to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. States tapped special federal aid to plug one-third of last year's record gap. Most of that aid runs out this summer. Another looming problem: woefully underfunded pensions. To make good' on promises to current workers, state and local governments need to inject $3.6 trillion into the funds, according to a study by Joshua Rauh of Northwestern University and Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Rochester. For now, states are considering more spending cuts and tax hikes and tapping their rainy-day funds a~ain. For investors in municipal bonds. meanwhile. there arc other troubles to think about. Half of municipal bonds are in mutual funds that buy and sell constantly. This means even if defaults remain low. investors can lose money if their fund managers overreact to the fear that defaults will rise. Those who prefer to own individual bonds instead of investing in funds face risks. too. Many munis owned directly are barely traded. so sellers sometimes can find few or no buyers. That's not the case with U.S. Treasury bonds or stocks of big companies like General Electric or Microsoft, which enjoy liquid markets and the services of deep· pocketed firms charged by regulators with buying if no one else will. Muni sellers are basically on their own, and prices can fall fast. In 2008. investors pulled $15 billion out of muni funds in four months while prices were tumbling. To raise cash for investors wanting their money back, fund managers had to sell munis even if they didn't want to. The average fund lost 5.5 percent, accord~ ing to Morningstar Inc. In 1994, a I~ similar cycle sent bond down, too. The ave fund lost 5.8 percent. Something similar is h now.

Jayson Keller and Magnolia's suffocating defense combined to end a 46-year title drought for the Blue Eagles. Fox and Keller scored two touchdowns apiece as Magnolia toppled topseeded Ravenswood 2813 in the Class AA championship game Friday night. Second-seeded Magnolia ( 14-0) won its first Class AA title since 1964. The Blue Eagles lost in the championship .game five times in between, including in 2008 to Grafton. Magnolia jumped to a 28 0 halftime lead. The Blue Eagles limited the powerful Ravenswood offense to just 24 yards in the first half. Ravenswood quarterback Cole Starcher. who rushed for a game-high R~venswood 136 yards, led two second-half scoring drives, but the Red Devils ( 13-1) were denied their first championship smce 1976. Starcher also threw for 121 yards but was intercepted five times by Magnolia, tying a AA championship game record. The stout Magnolia defense, which recorded seven shutouts this season, held Ravenswood well below its average of 38 points per game. The Blue Eagles converted six Ravenswood turnovers into 21 points. Magnolia jumped on top \Vith a pair of Keller rushmg touchdowns in the opening five minutes. Keller ran four times for 70 yards on the Blue Eagles' opening possession, opening up a quick 7-0 lead with a 3-yard plunge. _Followin~ an exch_ange ol mterceptiOns. for Class AA title Ravenswood's Chad Small muffed a punt snap to give Magnolia the ball in prime position. Keller struck again from 19 yards on the first play of the resulting drive. pushing the lead to 14-0 with 7:28 to go in the first quarter. Keller was tackled awkwardly midway through the second quarter and left the game with an injured leg. but Fox kept the Magnolia offense humming three plays later with a 1-yard TD sneak. With Ravenswood desperate for offense in the linal minute of the half. Fox took advantage on the defensive side of the ball. The versatile senior, who plays quarterback, cornerback. punter and kicker, raised the Magnolia lead to 28-0 when he intercepted Starcher and returned it 35 yards for a score. Fox, who was named player of the game, completed I 0-for-13 passes for I 0 I yards. kicked four extra points and averaged 41 yards on three punts.

Facing third-and-16 near midfield, Fox bought time with his scrambling ability and hit Cameron Benson on the right sideline for a key first down. Magnolia eventually turned the ball over on do" ns. but the Blue Eagles defense snuffed out two late Ravenswood drives'. Prep football case passed to W.Va. Supreme Court CHARLESTON. W.Va. (AP)- The West Vtrgmia Secondary School Activities Commission asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to decide who will play for the state Class AAA high school football championship. The SSAC filed a petition asking the high court to block enforcement of a Kanawha County Circuit Court judge's rulings over the eligibility of four South Charleston players. 'The justices set a noon Monday deadline for parties to respond or seek to join the case. "Hopefully the Supreme Court will take it up then," said Ben Sa Iango, the players' attorney. "I would anticipate that their decision would be made on the briefs.'' The justices can decline to consider the case, request oral arguments or review the court briefs and make a decision. The filing by SSAC lawyer Bill Wooton requests that a hearing be held "as quickly as the parties might reasonably be acwmmodated." The SSAC has already postponed Saturday's title contest. Martinsburg ( 130) is already qualified for the title game. The eligibility question stemmed from a midfield brawl that occurred in the final seconds of South Charleston's Nov. 19 quarterfinal win over Hurricane at Charleston's Laidley Pield. South Charleston players Tyler Harris. Pierria Henry. Emerson Gagnon ano Trevand Reese played in last weekend's 29-28 semifinal win over Brooke after winning a court order allowing them to play. The SSAC and Brooke want the players suspended and South Charleston to forfeit. On Tuesday, Ohio County Circuit Judge Arthur Recht ruled the Class AAA title game couldn't be played until the players' eligibility question was resolved in Kanawha County. Brooke County school officials sought that mling after Webster ruled Tuesday the players could participate in the championship. Salango has claimed the players initially were unproperly suspended. In circuit court he questioned the game officials· decisions about the ejections. their timeliness and rules concerning such misconduct. including rules requiring the ejections be announced and for the captains of each team to be notitied. ''In this instance. there were no captains to be notified," Wooton said in a telephone interview after the petition filing. "The coaches and law enforcement had directed the teams to retum to the locker room." Wooton said the high court needs to focus on the "big picture" - that players were involved in unsportsmanlike conduct. "The rules are clear,'' he said. "1f you were involved, you're suspended for the balance of that game and the next game. Rather than focus on the substance of whether players were involved, we're focused on technicalities.'' Salango has maintained any suspension that should be applied to the next regular season game. not the playoffs. Super Six officials in Wheeling are concerned about a long delay in the Class AAA game.. in part due to the weather. In addition, some football players also play on winter sports teams such as basketball. With his tean1's fate in the balance, coach John ~1essinger, who has Jed South Chmlt:ston to the state championship the past two seasons. said his players remain upbeat, conlidcnt and undeterred during practice. ''We· re not going to let this thing get us dO\vn:· he said Thursday. "This is a great bunch of kids. "It has gone to the legal system and they're going to be the one to ultimately control the fate of these 42 young men. They'll never take away from what they've accomplished. not just this year, but for the last four years."

Sund ay, Decembers, 2010 Ohio deer gun seasons by the nt-tln~ers Jf by some chance you were unsuccessful during last week's Ohio deer gun season. you still get another shot at North America's favorite big game animal on Dec. 1819. In Meigs County, hunters tagged 717 deer this opening day compared to 569 last ) ear; in Gallia County the numbers were 607 and 455. respectively. Statewide, 37.805 deer were harvested Monday. to put that number into perspccti ve. that's more deer than were killed in Ohio's tirst 15 "modem" deer hunting seasons ... combined. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources· Division of Wildlife. over 400.000 hunters armed with shotguns. muzzleloaders and handguns were expected to take to Ohio's woods and tlelds in search of America's most popular big-game animal, the whitetail deer. As of October. the Division of Wildlife estimated there were 750.000 deer in the state. Last year. hunters killed 114.633 deer during the week-long gun season plus an additional 19,900 deer during tbe extra two days later ~in December. Locally during those two days last year there were 255 and 169 deer killed in ~1 eigs and Gallia counties. respectively. Of course, the total numbers for this past week and the ''bonus season" will not be known until after Dec. 19. It's a far cry from Ohio's first "modern'' deer season in 1943 \vhen 168 deer were taken (out of 8,500 permits) in Adams. Ross and Scioto counties. Ohio was closed to deer hunting from 190 1-1942 and the first statewide deer season wasn't until 1956 when 3.911 deer were harvested.

"Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good," Boucher said. "It got tipped but the play still got made." The RedHawks 18-4) have been both. They won the MAC for the first time since 2003 and their conference-best 15th title overall a season after they finished 1-11. Chandler Hamish threw three touchdowns for the Huskies (10-3). who had won eight in a row. "Thev made a few more ptays than we did and that's what got us in the end." Northern Illinois Coach Jerry Kill said. "The balls bounced their way tonight.'' Boucher, a freshman making his third start of the season, finished the game 29 for 46 for 333 yards. The decisive touchdown came six plays after the RedHawks forced Northern Illinois to punt from its end zone.

Part of the AAATs mission is also keeping citil.ens informed of programs that support safe and independent living for citizens in the 10 counties served by the AAA7 which includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike. Ross, Scioto and Vmton. The AAA7 wishes to pass along to the community infom1ation from The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) and the Office of the Ohio Consumers' · Cow1sel (OCC). With support from Gov. Ted Strickland. these two organizations are reminding low-income families that they can stay connected to local resources <md emergency services through telephone a<;si'ltance program;. "Ohio recognizes there are many families struggling to make .ends meet these days." PUCO Chairman Alan R. Schriber stated. "Lifeline Telephone Assistance, offered by Ohio's telecommtmications providers, can help these consumers stay connected to essential emergency services, business necessities. and friend<; and fan1ilies."

She's 76 and lives quite nicely in a retirement community. She has a new hobby scrapbooking. I thought that this was all well and good until she showed my two daughters what she's been memorializing. It seems that she not only has made an entire book commemorating all her past boyfriends, but that she has naked ·pictures of all of them. Is this a first sign of Alzheimer's?- C.C. . Dear C.C.: Unless your mother fears that she is losing her memory and wants to remember all her former boyfriends in case she can't put a name to a face or other body part much longer, I wouldn't assume that she is suffering from a specific memory-related malady. It is possible, though, that she is beginning to find her judgment a bit cloudy, or is starting to fall into a period when she becomes somewhat eccentric as a part of aging. which may or may not be normal for her. I t woui.d not be a bad idea to accompany her to a trusted physician for an evaluation of her mental and emotional state. as the scrapbooking seems so out of character. The fact that she showed it to the two children is a bit alarming, and you need to let them know that Grandmother has some issues, should •any be found, but that she is still a loving member of the Dr. Joyce Brothers family. On the brighter side, there may be absolutely nothing wrong with your mother other than a lapse of judgment when it came to showing your daughters some of her old beaus. Maybe all her friends are putting together similar albums and having a lot of fun in the process. Talk to her about this. and try to tind out just what has prompted this unusual hobby. It could be that she sees her youth and sexuality slipping away and is merely trying to capture those memories for her own enjoyment. Putting the album in a "safe place" might be a good idea. too, if she agrees. Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband and I have been together for three years now. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that I liked him better before we were married. The pre-wedding years were much happier than the past married one. I don't know what to do! He's become more comfortable in his habits and just seems to have changed for the worse. Does it get any better than this, or am I doomed to spend the rest of my life w ith a schlub?- J .T. Dear J.T.: I'm sure you·ve heard of the concept of people growing and changing at different rates and in different ways, and it seems you are right up against it in your marriage. You didn't envision the part where the honeymoon is over and you settle into a dull routine where you take one another for granted and don't lind the idea of a lifetime together so exciting anymore Or you may think that sort of thing would be OK, if you were 60 or · 70! I can sec how it seems like you don't have much to look forward to if things don't change. Many people in your position find that it b a good time to start a family. There is nothing like a baby, toddler and child to awaken the old spirit of adventure in a couple. But you need to be very sure you have a strong marriage to begin with, or things could go from bad to v.·orse. A baby can serve as a jump sta11 or a dead end for a marriage. The problem • might be that your husband works very hard and doesn't feel he has the energy to maintain an exciting relationship. Or he may like the safe and predictable routine and habits you find so upsetting. He is probably very satisfied with the maniage, if that's the case. So you need to give him a wake-up call that includes discussing your mutual goals and vision of the future. If you find you are on the same page after all, it will give you motivation to move forward. Wake him up!

HAAPAZ ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - It's a Christmastime tradition for shoppers, New Yorkers and tourists alike: eking out store wins decorated for the • holidays. Many of this year's windows use hightech displays to showcase traditional stories and symbols of the season. At Saks Fifth Avenue, at Fifth Avenue near 49th Street. digital projectors beam images of translucent white snowflakes and bubbles onto the store's facade. The images interact with the architecture in a magical two and a-half minute light show that takes place every 10 minutes from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. nightly. With a musical score playing in the background, the visual effects include snow gathering on ledges. bubbles emerging from windows, and the building exterior appearing to freeze over. Macy's windows. on Broadway between 34th and 35th streets, are also a mix of high-tech media and traditional holiday themes, taking spectators on a journey through the eyes of 8-year-old Virginia 0' l;lanlon, who wrote to a newspaper in 1897 asking for proof of Santa Claus and got the famous response. "Yes, Virginia. there is a Santa Claus.'' Each window hosts a mini-theatrical show with scene changes, lighting, video and voiceover. The animation in the windows consists of digital video of intricate figures made from paper, and in each set, a small screen shows a scene within a scene, filled with Christmas trees, Santas and other symbols of the holiday. "It has that old-fashioned feel, but there's a lot of technology in it as well." said Macy's director of windows, Paul Olszewski. The use of paper and the bright colors give the display a ·'storybook feel," but the windows are also "highly theatrical. each one offering its own little show," he said. Windows at Lord & Taylor. at Fifth Avenue near 38th Street, offer 12 mechanical tableaus illustrating Christmas scenes set in New York City, inspired by favorite memories that customers shared with the store. The theme of the display is "Share the Joy," and the displays include candy canes, wrapped gifts, snowy streets, snowmen, wreath-bedecked homes, Santa's sleigh with reindeer and decorated trees. The windows at Bergdorf Goodman, Fifth Avenue and 58th Street, were inspired by fantasy travel to farflung places and are titled "Wish You Were Here." David Hoey, Bergdorf Goodman senior director of visual presentation and window design, describes the windows as a mash-up of unexpected arrivals and departures, drawing on influences as varied as Roman mythology and the movies. In one scene featuring a mannequin in an Oscar de la Renta gown, an antique caboose pulls out of a station; in another, a ship rolls on the sea while a figure in a striped outfit keeps company with miniature sailors. A tbird window offers a glittery lunar dreamscape inspired by a 1902 science fiction silent movie, while the fourth features air travel by winged horse. The final window has a Victorianstyle flying machine, part bicycle, part carriage, part balloon. The windows at Henri Bendel, Fifth Avenue and 56th Street, were inspired by 'The Nutcracker" with a fun, high-fashion twist. The New York City Ballet partnered with the store on the display, which shows a 6-foot-tall female nutcracker and mannequins posed to look like ballerinas from the classic Christmas story. Inside the store, figures in tutus are suspended from the ceiling. Finally, at Bloomingdale's, · at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue, a mosaic of computer-generated animation on 100 · digital screens depicts a dreamy winter landscape.

"The food is simple, pure and succulent and has many pure flavors. That is why we decided that this restaurant can - or must - come into the guide," said Philippe Limbourg, editor of the Belgian edition of the GaultMillau guide. Owner Josef Chacham never sought culinary recognition beyond good business but knew he was onto something special when local chefs kept coming back after their shifts for more. ''They understand. For me, that is the proof that we are doing good things," Chacham said. Even the best of cooks understand the winds of change - especially as they are often first in line when the captains of industry and other rich patrons get a bit stingier on their budgets. Geert Van Heeke, one of Belgium's only two Michelin three-star chefs, remembers the days when he was an understudy at the once famous Villa Lorraine and saw the Rolls Royces roll up for lunch and dinner, every day. "Luxury restaurants still have clients but not like 35 years ago," he said. On top of running his three-star Karmeliet restaurant in the heart of historic Bruges, Van Heeke has also come to rely heavily on his adjacent Refter, which was named 2010 Michelin brasserie of the year. It shows in his kitchen. Next to the gleaming white 9-kilo (20-pound) halibut waiting to be filleted for marinading as a key starter in a ? 190 Karmeliet menu, simple coffee cookies for the Refter were. cooling down. A three course menu there goes for ?35. "'People just have another idea about food. The stars come in handy but to a lesser extent than the brasseries," he said. Beyond Van Heeke's success with the Refter, it is a comforting thought for any cook to be able to count on·some 120 seatings a day when the going gets rough in the fine dining section. Even disregarding the financial crisis, Van Heeke said top restaurants relying heavily on fancy food work only had themselves to blame for underestimating customers' attachment to simple pure ingredients. Take oysters, said Van Heeke. "In many major restaurants now, they get oysters infused with 35 products, including 20 Japanese vinegars," he said. "It is a major reason why the top restaurants are having less turnover, because they don't serve the real product anymore." Fed up with overly fancy cooking, several chefs m France and some in Belgium have opted out of the Michelin rating system in recent years, complaining that it costs too much to maintain stars and no longer gives them the sheer joy of cooking with simple ingredients. Customers, and guides, increasingly understand them. Van Heeke too - and he has no objections to Finjan's sudden fame either. "Today, everything goes and why not? I have no problems with that," he said, as long as the products are outstanding. So far, pita restaurants have been bottomdwellers, often charmless grease emporiums bathed in eye-blinding lights serving strips of cork dry meat smothered in factory-made sauces. Finjan is changing that and stands out even in Antwerp's trendy 't Zuid neighborhood. GaultMillau caught on when they discovered by chance that chefs from nearby restaurants often ended up at Finjan - it stays open until 4 A.M. on weekdays, 5 A.M. on weekends - after work is done and they're ready for a lamb kebab. An Israeli with family roots going back to Iraq, owner Chacham is overwhelmed by his listing in the GaultMillau - a guide he had never even heard of before. "For me this means appreciation, recognition of the work I did all those years. A good pita is good quality. It is not junk fund. It is not fast food." : ' .

Thousands of men grow mustaches for cancer effo'\ Bv MEGHAN BARR ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND - The scraggly patch of blond hair on Zak MacDonald's upper lip is a source of mockery among his coworkers in this testosterone-laden office. where the art of growing a mu~­ tache has become a fullblown competition. Scanning the cubicles. there are several handlebars and respectably bushy mustaches. The most prominent even rival the collage of fam()us 'staches displayed on the wall, including Tom Selleck's iconic facial hair. Much to his chagrin. though, MacDonald's is not among them. "As you can tell. we're 22 days in and there's not a wh~le lot happening up in the 'stache area." he admitted, rubbing a hand over his lip. "But you know, God knows J'm uying.'' These men are among the more than 500,000 eager ·participants in "Movember," which inspired men all over the world to grow mustaches last month to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer. Since it was founded by a bunch of beer-drinking Australians in 2005. Movembcr has raised more than S100 million, with men collecting sponsorships and earning more money as those mustaches grow.

It all got stru1ed when a bunch of guys were sitting ru·ound drinking beer-; in Australia and decided to grow some mustaches just for fun.
