Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins reported to the commission that 20 IQ has been an extremely busy year for his office. "This is going to probably be the busiest year we've ever had. We had 13 jury trials this year and we are at 288 cases," Adkins said. "We have one more grand jury left and that is going to put us over 300 for the first OHIO VALLEY BANK. time. I think, ever for felony cases." Adkins repo1ted that this increase in court activity is reflected in the number of supplies and other materials his office has used this year. . Adkins also reported that oneo position in his office was abolished in the past year and the current employees are taking on more work. "They spent a lot of time training different people," Adkins said. "It's a pretty specialized job up there and there are just not a lot of people around here that can catch on to what we do up there. These guys have been here for 20 or 30 years.'' Adkins also reported that salaries in his office will remain essentially the same in the upcoming year. Probate/Juvenile Court Judge Thomas S. Moulton, Jr. reported that his agency saw a $45.000 cut in grant funding this year and he has requested that the county fund their chief probation officer because of the lack of grant funding. "That is something that has been funded in the past by the county and we believe it is to be funded by the county.'' Moulton said. "We've been using grant monies to do that." Probate/Juvenile Court Director Greg Shrader reported that his office ends up taking much less funding from the county because of the grant funding that they have relied upon in past years.

Currently, county employees receive health care through Medical Mutual of Ohio (MMO) and during a county commission meeting in November, Melinda Jeffers of MMO presented a renewal for the county's current .plan that must be renewed in · Feb. 2011. Jeffers reported that her company projected tbe county renewal premium to be $4.145,312 and this is a 37.04 percent increase from the previous year. According to Jeffers, this increase is directly based upon the county's claims experience. Reportedly, the county paid approximately $2.9 million in premiums in the previous year. however, there were approximately $3.9 million in employee claims. In light of this increase. the county is looking at other options and other insurance carriers to provide health insurance to county employees. A representative from United Health Care (UHC) was present during the county commission meeting on Thursday to present an alternative health care plan with a renewal of approximately 19 percent to the county. The county's independent insurance agent John Saunders of Saunders Insurance Agency was also present and described the differences in the plans. According to the information provided, the current MMO employer deductible is $4.000 for an individual and $8,000 for a family, while the employee deductible is $200 and $400, for individuals and families, respectively. With UHC. the proposed employer deductible would be $1.000 and $2.000 and the employee deductible would be $1,000 and $2.000. The coinsurance level for MMO is $800 for individuals and $1,600 for families. With UHC, the coinsurance rate is $2.000 for individuals and $4,000 for families. After negotiations, MMO dropped their renewal rate slightly and their renewal medical and dntg premium rates for the county would total $603.70 for individuals and $1,660.03 for families per plan per month under the renewal. With UHC: !he premiums would total $526.16 for fam1hes and $1,446.94 for families.

"I guess it's because we've got to become so dependent on the grants in the past. They are not actually drying up but our funding mechanism is based t:pon the number of adjudications, felonies, that we get." Shrader reported that over the past I 0 years approximately 20 felony cases have come through the court and in this fiscal year only two felony cases have come before the COUI1. "We've done really well, ever over the past 10 years, we've brought $2 million worth of grants in, averaging $100,000 a year," Shrader said. Moulton and Shrader also reported that BY JIM FREEMAN TIMES·SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT ALBANY - Whitetail deer bucks have been known to get their antlers locked together during battle, and there are photos and rep01ts of hunters harvesting locked deer. or of people finding their carcasses. But these events are exceptionally rare. and generally involve two deer. So it was a total surprise when three antlerlocked whitetail deer were found floating in a stream in westem Meigs County. and these weren't ordinary gardenvariety bucks. they were trophy-class deer - a • 122-inch seven-point ~ith a broke.n tine, a 140mch I 0-pomter, and a 169-inch ll-pointer. A private forester from McA1thur. Jason Good, was cruising timber on the property of Brien Burke along the headwaters of Leading Creek when he came across the three deer floating in the creek, Burke said. "He was really excited." Burke said. "There is no cell phone reception down there so he had to go somewhere he could call. "He called my father, who didn't believe him," he added. In fairness though, you had to see it to believe it, he explained. adding that they tried to detennine the size of the antlers on the bucks, but one of them was floating in a position that made it nearly impossible to see the antlers. Burke called a friend who works for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Wildlife who wisely advised him to leave the bucks where they were and contacted Meigs County Wildlife Officer Josh Shields. The deer were found on Friday. Nov. 12 and Shields was unable to respond to the scene until Monday. Nov. 15, which amounted to three suspenseful days for Burke and his friends. "He handled the situation pe1t'ectly as far as the legal aspects of it were concerned," Shield said. "I didn't realize how special of a deal it was until it was all done. It's pretty rare. "I have been told there are only five cases in the country of three locked bucks." he said. "Two of those are from Ohio, counting this one." After investigating the scene. Shields detennined the deer died of natural albeit highly unusual causes and wrote the lahdowner several receipts for the carcasses (one for each individual deer and another for the three combined) similar to those used for roadkilled deer. allowing Burke to keep the deer. Then crune the question of how to remove the bucks from their watery grave; Burke said he had discussed borrowing a backhoe to pluck them out of the creek and then Shields suggested they cut off two of the heads. leavino one attached, and the pull them out of the creek that way. Another friend, Chris Davis of Athens, got into the creek with waders and trapping gloves, secured the antlers with zip ties (to ensure they remained inte11wined precisely as they were found) and removed the heads allowing the remaining carcass and attached antlers to be extracted. There were no witnesses to this epic whitetail battle, but it is almost certain the three deer were tighting over a doe in heat. "I imagine there was a hot doe in the area and two of the bucks were fighting," Shields said. "A third one joined in the battle which progre~scd , Magistrate Linda Warner has greatly impacted their agency. ''For years we've been way behind on child support and custody issues .• because of the timelines involved with getting them in," Shrader said. ''Linda Warner has been able to get us up to where we are current. .. Commission President Joe Foster told the officials that the commission would take their requests into consideration and is well aware of the job the court has been doing to maintain services through grants. "We understand that you guys have done a great job in the grant arena and that is very well understood and very much appreciated.'' Foster stated. Submitted photo These three antler-locked whitetail bucks are shown as discovered in Leading Creek in western Meigs County. on Nov. 12 by private forester Jason Good of McArthur. Cases of a'ltler-loc~ed bucks are unusual and cases of three antlerlocked bucks are practically unheard of. RSVP fromPageAl became a spare time at home project. Since there were more scarves then Head Start children. Diana Coates, RSVP director for the Meigs County Council on Aging, said the rest will go to the Meigs Cooperative Parish and to Peoples Bank to be given out with coats to school children next year. Friday morning one class of Head Start children from the Bradbury Center were brought to Peoples Bank. They each had on a pretty scarf made by an RSVP volunteer. Seated around the Christmas tree. they listened to the story of ''The Mitten" read by. Rosanna Manley. The children sang several songs concluding with ''We Wish You a Merry Christmas.'' Each one was given a candy cane before boarding the bus to return to ~he Bradbury Center. Among those knitting scarves were Hope Peck, Susie Stewart. Debbie Carder. Lorna Seth. Margaret Grossnickle, Rosanna Manley, Ruth Smith. Sylvia Webb, Judy Wise, Jewell Derrick, Julia Fitzgerald. Minnie Rizer, Mary McAngus and Diane Young. Submitted photo From left, Jason Good. McArthur, landowner Brien Burke, Meigs County Wildlife Officer Josh Shields and Chris Davis, Athens, and logger Bobby Thompson, standing, pose with trio of antler-locked whitetail bucks fished out of Leading Creek on Nov. 15. Due to the highly unusual nature of the find, photos of the deer and the associated story have circulated widely on the internet. down into the creek. "They got in the pool and couldn't get out." Burke said the fight started about 30 yards away from the creek on a bank sloping down to the water's ed~e. ''One fell and pulled them all in," he sugges~ed. One can barely imagine the intensity of the fight that must have et1sued when the three champions of the woods arrived at the scene to battle for superiority. Whitetail deer are not considered particularly ferocious, in fact. any ,of the three bucks would have fled in fear from perhaps the smallest human child, but facing off· against each other there was no timidity The ferocity and noise must have been something, the scars and marks visible in the photographs tell the tale, and eventually the deer tumbled into the creek. Nature it seems. while often cmel and violent. is not without a twisted sense of humor; ' the weapons the animals bore ultimately locked them together. with the creek finally deciding the outcome of the battle by claimin~ all three of the combatants. Shields speculated that the battle ended quickly once they fell into the creek. Looking at the photos it is hard to determine where one deer's antlers stop and another's begins, they are that closely intertwined. However, the antlers. as green-scored by official scorer Jack Satterfield. Danville. measured 431 combined inches of whitetail buck. So what happens to the deer now? Although rumors have circulated that the antlers have been sold to Bass Pro Shop or Cabela ·s. Burke said no decisions have been made. although he would like to have several sets of replica antlers made for his friends that were involved in the amazin~ discovery. Burke owns the land on both sides of the creek so there are no ownership disputes surrounding the find. Meanwhile. the photos of the deer have gone viral on bowhunting and deer hunting websites and discussion boards. and are also available for view at www.petersenshunting.com where it tops their list of most popular articles. "It's just one of those freak-of-nature things,'· Shields said. ''As a deer hunter you feel kind of sad; it saddens you that nobody got to hunt those deer. You hate to see any animal die that way."

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Stock sales help government offset bailout ·losses BY MARTIN CRUTSINGE~ ASSOCIATED PRESS Stock sales are helping the government offset projected losses from its $7{)0 billion rescue of the financial system. The Treasury Department has brought in $35 billion in revenue over two years, boosted by ongoing sales of Citigroup stock, new data show. But the Congressional Budget Office projects taxpayers will still lose $25 billion for bailing out the financial sector and U.S. automakers. The new total for revenu·e generated by the Troubled Asset Relief Program is up from the nearly $30 billion in income shown in the previous report covering the program's finances through October. Much of the additional income came from the sale of Citigroup common stack. The Treasury s<;>ld off the last of its stake in the banking giant Tuesday, ending up with receipts of $12 billion above the government's investment of $45 billion. Smaller amounts of income in November came from dividend payments from other banks that received support from the bailout fund. and also from dividends from the support provided to the former financing arm of General Motors. The estimates of the government's total losses from the program have been declining. The CBO's estimate of $25 billion in losses were made in a report in No'.'ember. That's down from August, when the CBO projected the government would lose $66 billion, and March, when the forecast for losses was $109 billion. The CBO said the lower estimates resulted from two factors. One is the continued repurchases of preferred stock by banks that received the bailout funds. The other is a lower estimated cost for assistance to insurance giant American International Group and Chrysler and GM. TARP was developed by the previous Bush , administration and passed by Congress at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008. It became widely unpopular with the public. Republicans used voter unhappiness with the bailout and soaring federal budget deficits to help pick up six Senate seats in the November elections and take control of the House.

Nearly as many - 79 percent - say the U.S. economy would improve if all Americans had at least a two-year college degree, according to an Associated Press-Stanford University poll. Yet when it comes to financing public school improvements. people tilt slightly against raising taxes to do so. with 47 percent opposing and 42 percent in support. The findings underscore the tensions confronting federal and local officials across the country balancing the competing pressures of strengthening education while not overburdening taxpayers at a time of economic weakness and huge federal and state budget deficits. ''Education is vitally important to our country today." said Ronald Bmtlett. 66, of Marshall, Texas. who works at a mechanic's shop. But when it comes to higher taxes for schools he says no, adding. "We're continually pouring money into the government supposedly to improve education,and it's not improving. Too much,government control is not good. The consensus about education's impact on the country's economy differs little by gender. age, race or levels of education and income. The responses were similar to when the same questions were asked in a June 2008 AP-Knowledge Networks poll, though the number s,aying the economy would get a very large boost from better education has grown somewhat. "Obviously. the public is getting the message that colleges give you a better shot at a good and 64 have a two-yem college job, and that's going up because degree or more, atconJing to' of the economy," said Michael Census Bureau data.

Bossard Memorial Library in Gallipolis. Following a successful election campaign which resulted in the passage of a 1 mill continuing levy on Nov. 2, Director Debbie Saunders said the staff at Bossard is anxious to expand its hours of operation and restore services and staff positions that had to be eliminated due to budget cuts at the stat~ level in the recent past. Saunders said she met with the Gallia County District Library Board of Trustees this past week and a plan of action has been approved. She declined to release any details at this point because she has not met with the library staff to outline plans for the new ·year. Saunders said she will meet with the library staff on Monday to give them an update. Saunders was able to release the new hours of operation, however. She said the library will be open according to the following schedule: Sunday, 15 p.m.; Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The new hours will go into effect on Feb. 22, 2011, Saunders said. Robert E. Jenkins, president of the Gallia County District Library Board of Trustees, spoke for the board when he expressed his appreciation to the residents of Gallia County for supporting the levy. He said library funding has been a hot-button issue at the state level over the past few years. "As many citizens are aware, the State of Ohio significantly reduced downturn. The PLF is the main fundlibrary funding in 2009," he said. ing source for Bossard, supplying ''This funding cut resulted in reduc- about 77 percent of the library's budtions in library hours, services and get. staffing, not only at our own library, The Bossard Memorial Library . but throughout Ohio, the nation's levy is a continuing levy of 1 mill leader in terms of public library hours, each dollar of valuation, amounting to services, programs and resources." 10 cents for each $100 of valuation.

Blue Angels fall to Logan, 70·33 BY CRAIG DUNN SPECIAL TO THE TIMES.SENTINEL LOGAN. Ohio - As the Gallipolis Blue Angels took a qui~k 5-0 lead 80 seconds into their Ohio Southeastern Athl~tic League basketball game against the Logan Lady Chiefs Friday night in Jim Myers Gymnasium, don't think for a minute the Purple & White didn't have what happened to them last season on their collective minds. About 11 months ago, the Blue Angels stunned the Lady Chiefs 43-35 on a cold late-January Saturday morning that effectively knocked Logan out of the SEOAL title chase. But. as they say. that was then... and this ts now. Friday night, the Lady Chiefs overcame a slow start, outscored the An~els 30-8 the rest of the tlrst half and 59-17 through · early in the final quarter and wound up with a resounding 70-33 victory to remain undefeated. "We did get off to a slow start - and, yes, last year's game was men tioned before the game in the locker room," said Logan coach Pat Walsh, whose Lady Chiefs are now 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the ~EUAL. "But with this year's team, I don't get real excited when we get off to slow starts or if we're having trouble making buckets because I know we've got a lot of different girls who can step up and start making hoops. "We started playing well, got some steals and got some easy baskets, and then we started hitting shots in the half-court,'' he added. Once the Lady Chiefs put the pedal to the metal, so to speak, there wasn't much the Blue Angels (05, 0-2) could do to stop them. They applied fullcourt pressure and a threequarter-court trap to force Gallipolis into 15 turnovers in the first half alone, capitalizing upon many of them on the offensive end. Nine different Lady Chiefs scored and, just as importantly, II ditfercnt girls saw varsity action as Logan got back three of theu four injured players. Freshman Ashley Frasure, who missed last Saturday's victory at Jackson with a shoulder injury. came back to register a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double in just her second career varsity game. Logan also got back a pair of depth players, JUnior Damelle Collins and sophomore Abbie Hughes, who made a large impact in the reserve game after missing the first two games with injuries. "Ashley scores 14 points for u<:, and if we have (those 14) at Jackson, Bailey (Topt) doesn't have to hit a lastsecond shot to win it.'' Walsh said. "That's not saying (Frasure) would score 14 just because she walks on the floor. but she deflmtely helps us and gives us more depth. She's a girl who finishes shots, and we did a nice job getting the ball to her in the paint tonight." Only six Lad) Chiefs played in Logan's buzzerbeating 44-42 triumph at Jackson last Saturday, so Walsh was pleased to have a longer bench he could tum to if necessary. When the Blue Angels knocked off the Lady Chiefs last winter, it was primarily because Gallia Academy did a terrific job getting the ball to the low post, particularly to 5foot-11 center Morgan Daniels, who hit several key shots underneath. Daniels managed just three points Friday nioht, and Gallipolis made just five two-point baskets the entire game. Going into the fourth period, the Blue Angels made just one basket in the paint, that being a Daniels bucket with 6:40 left in the openino quarter that gave GAHS its early 5-0 lead. "That's saying somethin~ against a team like Galha," Walsh noted. "That Daniels girl, she's a player." Walsh noted that before the game, in going ~ver scouting reports and matchups, the Looan coaching staff decided to have 5-6 senior Stephanie Murphy battle Daniels down in the low post. "Murphy wanted to know why she was ~uarding her (instead of 5-10 senior Abbie Linton), and we told her it was because she (Murphy) is our best post defender and (Daniels is) their best player, so you're guarding her," Walsh noted. Murphy ''did a ~eat job, and we hel~d ner out a little bit (w1th) Linton on the back side where her height helped us a lot. "Daniels really hurt us last year," he added. "She kind of pushed us around. That didn't happen tonight, and that made a big difference." Senior Loryn Cassady, \vho had a terrific 16point. seven-steal. fourassist performance, put the Lady Chiefs on the board with a triple with 6:25 left in the opening period, but Logan missed eight of its first nine shots betore finishing the stanza with seven points in the last I :52. Cassady put the Lady Chiefs ahead to stay with the second of her four three-pointers on the night with I :30 left in the period. Gallipolis was still within striking distance, trailing just 14-9 following a triple by Tara Young (a team-high nine points, all on three-pointers) with 6:28 left in the fust half. but the Blue Angels wouldn't score another field goal until the 4:45 mark of the third quarter. In the meantime, the Lady Chiefs blew the game open. tinishing the fust haff on a 16-4 run, during which Cassady nailed two more trifectas, junior Brooke Simons (11 points, three assist5, three steals) converted a steal into a layup and Linton (eight pomts) fed Frasure with a nifty high-post-tolow-post lob for an easy lay-in. Leading 30-13 at the intermiss10n, the Lady Chiefs scored eightstraight points - six of them by Linton - in a littie over 90 seconds to open the third quarter for a 25-point lead. Logan extended that margin to 59-22 early in the fourth quarter before undercla._s. men Mackenzie Dicken (five P.oints), Hughes (four pomts) and Frasure helped Logan score II of ' the game's final 14 points. Abby Wiseman added point::. and seven Samantha Barnes scored five for the Blue Angels, who shot just 22.2 percent ( 10 of 45) from the field, making 5-of-14 from three-point range and Sof-31 from inside the arc. Gallia Academy dropped the junio{ varsity game 40-22 as Logan overcame an early 11-8 deficit with a 17-1 run. However, the game came to an abrupt end with I :28 remaining when Gallia Academy's Kacie Grate drew a charging foul from a Logan player and hit the back of her head on the floor. The game was stopped for more than 20 minutes as emergency personnel were summoned to Jim Myers Gymnasium to take her to Hockin~ Valley Community Hospttal as a precautionary measure, wheeling her out of the gym fastened down to a gurney. The game did not resume. Grate and Hannah Loveday led Gallia Academy (3-2 overall, I I SEOAL) with six and five points, respectively. Jaclyn McNeal scored II and Kayla Starlin 10 for Logan (l-2, 1-I). The Blue Angels host Fairland in a non-league game Monday. CHESAPEAKE, Ohio - General Custer had a better chance at Little Big Horn! The Chesapeake Panthers hounded ball pressure, denied every pass, challenged every shot and seemingly turned every Blue Devil mistake into a lay up drill in routing GAHS Friday evening on the Norm Persin Court at Chesapeake High School 77-22! It was the season opener for the Purple and White of coach Ryan Davis while the visiting Blue Devils fell to 1-2 on the young season with the loss. The last time Chesapeake took the gym floor was last March in the Final Four of the state basketball tournament at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. Coach Davis returns three starters from that historic 21-5 Panther squad, and this evening that trio alone nearly doubled the score on Gallia Academy, accounting for 42 of Chesapeake's 77 points. In all, the Lawrence Countians placed four in double figures. Austin McMaster poured in a game high 18 followed by Colin Kennedy's 17, and Patrick Hintz and Javon Thompson with 10 each. The Panthers slowly pulled away from a game Blue Devil squad that had trouble penetrating the host's defense to even get a shot off. The 17-"9 deficit GAHS faced after one quarter was the most Saunders Golden successful period they would have this night as Peake extended their lead to 18 at the half; 32-14. The second half frustration multiplied for the Gallians as the Panthers outscored them 22-7 in the third, and then put the finishing touches on the night in the fourth and final stanza with a 23-1 beat down. Nick Saunders and Jared Golden led the Blue Devil offense with five points each. Ethan Moore pumped in four, Austin Wilson three, Joe Jenkins and Tyler Campbell with two each, and Reid Eastman with one. A close look at the team statistics shows the Panthers were 30 of 66 from the field (.455) and 15 of 17 from the charity stripe (.882). They hault:d down 34 rebounds and only committed seven turnovers. GAHS was 8 of 31 from the field (.258) and 4 of 9 from the line (.444 ). They grabbed 16 rebounds (Golden 6) • turned the ball over times. In the N prelim, the Blue Imps of Coach Alex Penrod suffered their first loss of the year, 46-3 I. Justin Bailey Jed GAHS with a game and team high 15 markers, while Nick Duffield pace the Panthers with 12. . The Blue Devils returned to action for their home opener Saturday night with a triple header with the Athens Bulldogs.

While your family is ready to move on right away, you probably have been more involved with the cat through the years and are suffering more than the others right now. It would be a good idea to try to explain your feelings to them. so that they don't just think you are "mean." or that they will have to live in a home without animals for the rest of their lives.

"This is a time \Vhen people get to 'show out,' as my grandmother used to say," say' Angclou. poet, i11cmoirist and civil rights icon. "Moe is going to try to out cook Joe. It hecomes amusing and delightful." Angelou. whose second cookbook, "Great Food, All Day Long" (Random House. 20 I 0). features holiday-worthy dishes such as cnmn roast and prime rih. helped a generation understand why caged birds sing. But what ahout how to make prefect veal chops'? "I'm a cook. a serious cook:' she says. "I plan meals not only for their nutdtional value but for their beauty. I plan them around who ·s going to eat them and when. Ifs ceremoniaL for jubilation or commiserating over something." Which makes Angelou 's cooking very much like her writing. The 82-year-old Pulitzer winner approaches the kHchen with the same respect for ingredients that she gives her words. "You have to examine and be familiar with every element." she says. "So you should know a red pepper. what it will do in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil, how it will look. How if you give more heat what will happen to it. You know the materials well." Despite a fractured childhood shuttling between the families of her estranged parents. Angelou learned to cook much the way everyone wishes - at her gnmdmother's knee. "She would say 'Now sit down and watch me."' Angelou says. "I loved her so much that I followed her around. People would say. 'You got yow· shadow with you again: I watched her carefully." When Angelou lived with her mother as a teenager, she watched again. learning shortcuts like using a gas stove and making shortcake with store-bought cake. luxuries her grandmother in rural Arkansas dtdn't have. ''My grandmother didn't know anything about that," says Angelou, who was usually put in charge of the scrubbing and chopping of vegetables. "I learned both techniques." Cooking can be a gateway to creativity of all kinds, Angelou says. if you pay careful attention to the craft. "I ask folks to read poetry. to read it aloud. so they can hear the music. the melody of it." she says. "I would encourage a person who wants to cook to buy cookbooks." Angelou estimates her own cookbook collection at somewhere around 300 volumes. And at this time of year, she says, cooking for others takes on a deeper meaning. "When a person cooks for me, I like to think of the cooking itself as a gift." she say.s. ''I'm always glad and really so grateful to anyone who cooks for me. And I love to cook for others."

Martinez Daisy grating remembers' coconut by the hour with her sister for her mother's special version of this drink. These days, there's canned cream of coconut to be had in abundance " It's just as good and really time- and laborfriendly,'' point~ out Martinez. who hosts "Viva Daisy" on the Cooking Channel and has written several cookbooks, including the· recent, ''Daisy's Holiday Cooking." Then again. you could try a "Yard of Flannel," a recipe from colonial times included in Holly Arnold Kinney's cookbook, "Shin in' Times at the Fort," a collection of recipes from the family's landmark restaurant near Denver. Flannel relies on beer, not liquor, for its punch and, in fact. that's how the drink was initially made, says Kinney. noting that "nog" is an old English word for strong beer (noggin, meanwhile. was a small wooden cup used in taverns). Kinney's recipe calls for blending hot ale with other ingredients gently (so the eggs don't curdle) resulting in a mixture that is silky, or as ''soft as flannel." Coachmen would drive up to a tavern and call for a "yard of flannel,'' the drink served in a long, skinny glass. Handed up to the coach- man as he sat on his tall seat, it was a drink that would refresh and "warm the cockles of his heart." says Kinney. Over time, bourbon or rum. which were cheap and available, replaced beer. Kinney's southernborn mother used to make syllabub. a variation that uses wine. But she likes the idea of drinking something that harkens back to colonial days. "It's delicious." she says. However you like your eggnog, it's likely you've already picked up a carton or two. Dairies across the country have been producing eggnog since early November. "Over the years, it's moved up," says Neal Glaeser. president of Denali I ngreclients in New Berlin . Wis .. which makes eggnog base for dairies. "It's really become a wint.er drink. not necessarily a holiday drink." And even with the mass produced eggnogs, tastes vary from region to region. with dairies on the East Coast looking for spicier blends while those in the Midwest seem bigger on mm flavoring. Television cooking show host and author Paula Deen. ;1 nath e of Alban). Ga., has her own family recipe, "Mama's Eggnog." which combines bourbon. cream and other deliciou" things.

Yet it's free to download. So where rloes the money come from? Kelly Rummelhart of Gridley, Calif.. has part of the answer. Her 4-year-old son was using her iPad to play the game and racked up $66.88 in charges on her credit card without knowing what he was doing. Rummelhart had no idea that it was possible to buy things- buy them with real money - ins~de the game. In this case, her son bought one bushel and 1 I buckets of "Smurfberries," tokens that speed up gameplay. "Really, my biggest concern was them scratching the screen. Never in my wildest ~ s did I think they ·~d be charging things on it," the 36-year-old mother said. She counts herself lucky that her son didn't start tapping on another purchase button, like the "wheelbarrow" of Smurfberries for $59.99. Rummelhart joins a number of parents who have been horrified by purchases of Smurfberries and other virtual items in top App Store games. The 17 highest-rated comments on "The Smurfs' Village" in the App Store all com- · plain about the high cost of the Smurfberries, 'and two commenters call it a "scam." Apple introduced "inapp purchases" last year, letting developers use the iTunes billing system to <;ell items and add-ons in their games and applications. This year, developers have started to use the system in earnest as the main revenue stream for many games. Of the 10 highest-grossing apps in the App Store, six are games that are free to download but allow inapp purchases. Four of those are easy, childfriendly games. Two of them. "Tap Zoo'' and ''Bakery Story," have buttons for in-app purchases of $100 in just two taps. Capcom Entertainment Inc., the publisher of "The S murfs · Village," says inadvertent purchases by children are "lamentable." When it realized what was happening, it added a warning about the option of in-app purchases to the game's description in the App Store, and it's updating the game to include warnings inside it as well. The game has retreated to being the fourth-highestgrossing app in the App Store. the warnings may alert parents, but it's doubtful that they'd deter children who can't read and don't understand money. Also, the option to buy $59.99 worth of Smurfberries at a time remains. Capcom spokesman Michael Larson says "Smurfs'' is no different from other games in this regard, and the bulk purchasing option is useful to adult "power players." It's quite likely that most of the money pulled in by these games comes from addicted adults who want to quickly build their SmUif villages. bakeries, zoos and zombie farms. But there's a loophole in the in-app purchase process that chil- dren stick their fingers through. Usually, the purchases require the owner of the device to enter his or her iTunes password. But there is no password challenge if the owner has entered the password in the last 15 minutes for any reason. That means that if a user enters the password for a purchase or a free app upgrade, then hands the phone or iPad over to a kid, the child will not be stopped by a password prompt. Capcom and other game publishers have no control over the I 5minute password-free period, which is set by Apple. Apple defends its sysSpokeswoman tem. Trudy Muller says the password system is adequate and points out that parents can restrict in-app purchases. The parents contacted for the story received refunds from Apple after complaining, and praised the company's responsiveness. However, there's reason to believe that the password timeout doesn't always work. Andrew Butterworth of Brooklin, Ontario, was well aware of how in-app of Apple's rules and purchases work and of restrictions.

Right at Home: stylish gifts with animal motifs Bv KIM CooK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Save the blenders and dust busters for birthdays; holiday gifts should be about joy and surprise. This year, consider taking a walk on the wild side when choosing presents for the home. From beautiful animal graphics to imaginative plays on animal shapes. there are a lot of ways to add a bit of beast-ly style to living s. vid Dear's duckd mirror fits the bill, speak. The designer, known for whimsical takes on practical products. has placed an ovalshaped glass on pewter casts of duck feet - sublimely silly. yet oddly chic. For the hip yet disorganized people on your list, consider Urban Outfitters' owl-shaped I umbrella stand, or a Labrador's head wall hook, perfect for holaing scarves. At MollaSpace, Japanese designer lgenoki deconstructs the cuckoo clock with a striking parade of animal silhouettes. His colorful recycled leather trays, imprinted with images of butterflies, tigers, rabbits and deer, would be great for keys and change. Online retailer AllModem.com has Thai designer Supon Phornirunlit's collection of contemporary graphic Animal Instinct pillows, hand-silkscreened with images of polar bears, deer and a swirling serpent. Joe Ginsberg's pillow designs are always amazing. The Kingdom collection for Tempo features jungle and woodland animal photographs printed on shearling; they're soft and spectacular, worth the splurge for an animal-loving someone special. Dwel!Studio's Chinoiserie and Peacock pillows manage to look Old World and current at the same time. The bird artwork is painterly, the color accents - azure, citrine, mocha- are rignt on the minute. West Elm's got birds, squirrels and rabbits decked out in tiny metallic sequins; while they're meant as holiday decor, they'd make great tabletop accessories all year. A portion of sales goes to support St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Jason Polan's painted owl and penguin canape plates would be a lovely hostess gift. as would a set of small porcelain plates with winter animals etched in platinum. Animal-shaped lamps can often look kitschy, but these find a balance between whimsy and great style. Anthropologie has a squirrel and bunny lit from the inside- a fun fixture for a child's room, or an entry foyer. Naked Decor's Happy Hot Dog Lamp in black or white resin features a dutiful dachshund balancing the lampshade on his nose. And while he won't fetch your newspaper. he will hold your fruit; he's also available with a bowl attached to his back, Sherpa-style. Look for him on serving trays, coasters, napkin rings and even as a clock in this cleverly designed collection. Finally, designer Stephen Johnson takes us into Alice's Wonderland of animals with his collection of white and silver candlesticks cast from antique molds of rabbits, birds and horses. The creatures create a surreal balancing act, stacked upon other animals and objects before culminating in the candle holder. One or two of these would be a guaranteed dinner party conversation statter. and thus a perfect gift for entertainers.

I don't think that the Miami episode has altered his image one iota," Manzarek said. The pardon isn't enough for Patricia Kennealy Morrison, who says she married Morrison in a ceremony that was never made official. She wanted the convictions expunged and called the pardon "a complete cheap, cynical, political ploy.'' "I have a real problem with the semantics of a pardon. The pardon says that all his suffering and all that he went through during the ttial, everything both of us went through, was negated,'' she said. Kennealy Morrison says she exchanged vows with Morrison in a Celtic pagan ceremony. Morrison left his entire estate to another woman, Pamela Courson, a longtime girlfriend who was with him when he died. Courson died in 1974. Kennealy Morrison said Morrison's convictions led to his demise, and that of the band. She said he felt like he "had been made a scapegoat of the counterculture movement." "He cared about it. It affected him deeply. In fact. I think it was one of the contributory causes of his death. actually. ll certainly destroyed The Doors. pretty much. They didn't perform so much as a group after Miami. after the verdict came through," she said. Manzarek and Krieger said Morrison's main interest in appealing the case was avoiding jail time. "He wouldn't give a (expletive)" about a pardon. Krieger said. "He would think it was old news." 1 Here's what most people who were at the concert agree on: The Doors went on stage late. The auditorium was oversold and wasn't air conditioned. Morrison was dnmk and stopped in the middle of songs with an anti-authority. profanityriddled rant. A live latnb was brought on stage at one point and Morrison also grabbed a police officer's hat and threw it in the crowd. The singer took off his shirt and fiddled with his belt, and fans poured onto the stage. ''There were 100 photos offered in evidence at the trial. photos of everything -Jim with the lamb. Jim with the hat, on the stage collapsing, riot in the audience. Not one photo of Jim's magnificent member," said Manzarek. "It never actually happened. It was mass hypnosis." he said. Krieger added: "Nobody would like to • have that charge hanging over their head even if they are dead. r m sure his family would be happy to see that go. especially since it never happened."

Like many other holiday travelers. Fruzzetti wanted to connect with home in a way that was beloved and familiar as she spent the holiday in a foreign place. Christmas in a hot elimate "felt sun·eal," said Fruaetti. who traveled around the world with a backpack in 2008 and 2009. She found that giving Christma~ gifts to her dad in person - clothing and art she had purchased in Cambodia - made the holiday 111 St. Kilda. a suburb of Melbourne. seem more like the ones she remembered from her Philly childhood. despite all that was different.

Religious services arc also a p:u1 of Christmas for many travelers. "Christmas 2008 was tough'," said Corinne Dillon, who spent that holiday in Beijing alorte. "I found that going to Chri:-.tmas Mass - I'm Catholic - really helped a lot because it's pretty much identical to the service in my home pa.tish." Dillon. a New Jersey native who ts now 26. ended up meeting some migrant laborers at the service at the church. known as the South Church or Southern Cathedral in Beijing. and -.haring noodles with them afterward.

Kramer said church i~ the most important tie to Christmas her family found in their travels. "We find churches that arc similar to the one we are going to at home," Kramer said. "Although of ct~urse the people and location arc different, we really like finding people who believe the same as we do, and worshipping with them.'' Santa and a Christmas tree arc also very important. A guest at the Hotel Plata Athenee m New York City spent Sl.OOO to have a designer decorate a Christmas tree in her room. "We actually packaged it up afterwards and sent it hack to her home in Florida," said Karen Goldberg, the hotel's marketing director. Traditional foods can also be critical to enjoying Chrbtmas in a strange place.
