Defense Attorney James K~rsey did· 11 't contest that Petrie shot his parents, but insisted that the boy's youth and video game addiction made him less responsible. Prosecutors ·said Petrie planned to kill his . parents because he was angry that hi5 father would not allow him to play the video game "Halo 3," in which players shoot alien monsters that have taken over the Earth. Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said he'll announce his verdict Jan. 7. Petrie has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and other charges. If convicted , the maximum ·possible penalty is life in prison without parole. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Cillo described Petrie as a cold , calculating killer who plotted to murder his parents , Mark and Susan Petrie, and make it appear to be a mur· der-suicide by rutting the gun in his father s hand.

They're not old, yet they have an Old World look . · For collectors, however, there's nothing like owning l{uly vintage ornaments to evoke traditions and recall times past. It's getting ' harder to find those treasures . Antique ornament~ flooded the marketplace in the early days of eBay, providing · sellers with record prices, and delighting buyers with variety and availability. In the last decade, howeve~;, the glut began driving prices down. Now, says John Lightner, author of "Christmas Rarities," a self-published book about German glass ornaments, "You rarely see very large cQnections . (for sale) anymore. Those who have them usually keep them." Still, finds can be had the oldfashioned way - by prowling antiques shows, flea markets, and estate and tag sales - and, yes, even on the Internet.

And finalcy, : Rhoades describes what may be the Holy Grail for ormiment collectors: ~ "The rarest of all ornaments are called Sebnitzes," he says. "They were made from the material that was left over when sequins were punched out." None are longer than 4 inches and most are vehicles: cars, wagons, and baby buggies hold,ing inch-long w.ax infants. "They were adorned With Dresden trim, cotton or paper materials, and sometime glass.beading." Stories of lucrative finds abound in the collectors· world, . such as the German glass figural found in the trash that sold for $1 ,700. According to David S. Smith in Antiques and the Arts Online, one Dresden paper ornament - a stamped and painted train and mountain tunnel - sold for a record $11 ,000 at auction in 2005 in Vineland, N.J.

Page 6 • Platinum from Page 4 ties including Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Jenn:ifer Gamer, and Anne Hathaway, and discerning moo and women around the country," says O'Connor. In .addition to its ~pularity among the sliver screen elite, plat- . inurn's affordability .has also made it a favorite choice of women across the country. Aside il~m .fashionalJle jewelry, over 80 percent ·o f brides prefer Platinum. "Jessica A'lba, £va LQngoria and Bey~;~nce Knowles recently wed .in Platinum rings," adds O'Co.nnor. Why PlatinUm Platinum is the r:areSt precious metal - in fact, it's 30 times more rate than gold. To put that into perspective, if you take all the Platinum that has ever been mined, it would only fill one Olympicsized swimming pool to your ankles. Conversely. if you were to take all of the gold in the world, it would fill 3 such pools all the way to the ri'm. So, this makes a pair of diamond stud eru:rings or cuff links set in Platinum an even more special and valuable symbol of love. . Platinum also lasts forever, smce tt . loses no metal eyen during every day wear. Fifty years from now, you could take your· Platinum necklace to your local jeweler for a cleaning and it would loqk as beautiful as the day you received it. You can't say that about other jewelry metals. · ' Because Platinum is a naturally white metal, it will ma~timize the brilliance of · a diamond and other gemstones. No other metal will'make .you feel as confident and sophisticated. What most people don '·t know is that today, the high quality and value of Platinum jewelry is available at a variety of price p<)ints - starting at as low as $500 - so you can find the perfect, long lasting holiday gift for someone you love within your budget. . Trends "Charm bracelets, drop earrings and solitaire pendants set in Platinum are hot this holiday season. They transition easily from day to night, and will look fabulous on most women," .says O'Connor. For men, Platinum tie accents and lapel pins will brighten up a dark business suit without breaking the bank; adds O'Connor. For those looking to propose this holiday season, look for a Platinum engagement ring that speaks to her style. Whether it's a vintage ring with intricate embellishments or a modem eternity band, O'Connor recommends engraving the ring with a special mes~age to co~­ memorate the day. "She Will wear th1s ring every day for the rest of her li{e, so make sure to get her Platinum, since that's what she really wants ." .' . ' .. .. . .

In .addition to its ~pularity among the sliver screen elite, plat- . inurn's affordability .has also made it a favorite choice of women across the country. Aside il~m .fashionalJle jewelry, over 80 percent ·o f brides prefer Platinum. "Jessica A'lba, £va LQngoria and Bey~;~nce Knowles recently wed .in Platinum rings," adds O'Co.nnor. Why PlatinUm Platinum is the r:areSt precious metal - in fact, it's 30 times more rate than gold. To put that into perspective, if you take all the Platinum that has ever been mined, it would only fill one Olympicsized swimming pool to your ankles. Conversely. if you were to take all of the gold in the world, it would fill 3 such pools all the way to the ri'm. So, this makes a pair of diamond stud eru:rings or cuff links set in Platinum an even more special and valuable symbol of love. . Platinum also lasts forever, smce tt . loses no metal eyen during every day wear. Fifty years from now, you could take your· Platinum necklace to your local jeweler for a cleaning and it would loqk as beautiful as the day you received it. You can't say that about other jewelry metals. · ' Because Platinum is a naturally white metal, it will ma~timize the brilliance of · a diamond and other gemstones. No other metal will'make .you feel as confident and sophisticated. What most people don '·t know is that today, the high quality and value of Platinum jewelry is available at a variety of price p<)ints - starting at as low as $500 - so you can find the perfect, long lasting holiday gift for someone you love within your budget. . Trends "Charm bracelets, drop earrings and solitaire pendants set in Platinum are hot this holiday season. They transition easily from day to night, and will look fabulous on most women," .says O'Connor. For men, Platinum tie accents and lapel pins will brighten up a dark business suit without breaking the bank; adds O'Connor. For those looking to propose this holiday season, look for a Platinum engagement ring that speaks to her style. Whether it's a vintage ring with intricate embellishments or a modem eternity band, O'Connor recommends engraving the ring with a special mes~age to co~­ memorate the day. "She Will wear th1s ring every day for the rest of her li{e, so make sure to get her Platinum, since that's what she really wants ." .' . ' .. .. . .
