AZ �6unba~ lim~ -ientinel REGIONAL Point still benefits from legend of Mothman BY ToM B.REEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER POINT PLEASANT. W.Va. - A quick stroll up Mai n Street is enough to learn who this river town 's most famous resident is: His . name is on signs, in shop windows and restaurants, and there 's eyen a museum devoted to him. And the sculpture in the middle of town prominently. depicts his enormous wings and glowing red eyes. More than 40 years after the first reported sighting of the my stenous creature later dubbed "Mothman," residents here have embraced his legend, helping to turn the town into a destination for people in search of lm offbeat tourism experience. ·But while there 's no local consensus OJ\ the veracity of the stories, most agree that Mothman is good for business. "It's helped the town, it's actually helped with business recruitment," said Ruth Finley, who owns the 106year-old Lowe Hotel on Main Street along with her husband. "People come because of Mothman and they stay at the hotel, they go to the restaurants." Every September, Point Pleasant hosts the weekendlong Moth man Festival, which draws about 2,000 Bridge from PageA1 Thomas A.

Walking along Main Street, conventione&s can have their· picture taken near the statue, drink a Mothman Frappachino and drop into the Moth man Museum, whick convinci ngly bills itself as the world's only such institution. . Inside, they can look over everything from handwritten eyewitness accounts of Moth man sightings to voluminous newspaper clippings to props from the 2002 Richard Gere film "The Mothman Prophecies," which helped boost interest in the creature and Point Pleasant. Jeremy Pitchford, an employee at the 2-year-old museum, said it's a valuable repository for a side of Point Pleasllilt that few were willing . to even discuss until recently. 'This has been something that's been kind of suppressed, in a way," he said. "A lot of people never knew that Point Pleasant had anything like its own folklore." The first S·ighting was reported on Nov. 15, 1966, by a group of people in an area of town known as TNT, th~ site of a former World War II munitions plant. Others ·tater came forward to say they had seen a gray creature about 7 feet tall with bright red eyes and wings like a bird. The sightings ended abruptly on Dec. 15,. 1967 , the day of the collapse of the Silver Bridge, which linked Point Pleasant to Ohio. Forty six people .were killed, and ever since people have speculated on whether the sightings were connected to the tragedy. During the Mothman convention, tourists drive out to TNT hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature,•but · usually have to settle for a more prosaic version: . the Mothman pizza made at Village Pizza. A genuinely unique ereation, the $10 pie ~epicts the fearsome creature with eyes made of red and green peppers dotted by an olive pupil, mushroom wings and a pepperoni body. It's such a classic that Bill Ward knew he had to leave it on the menu when he bought the restaurant four years ago. "We sell a lot of them when the convention's in town," he said. Even when it's not convention time, the town has its share of Mothman visitors, including film crews. Recently, a crew shooting an episode for the new A&E series "Paranormal State" was in town, and the Lowe Hotel has hosted crews from as far away as Japa:n and Australia. Not everyone in Point Pleasant is thrilled with the attention. A town rich in hi story from the Revolutionary War to the era when steamboat traffic crowded the Ohio . and Kanawha rivers, some chafe at being so wellknown for reputed visits from a winged creature with glowing. eyes. "With all the history we have here, what do people come here for? That darn Mothman," said Jack Fowler, executive director of the Point Pleasant River Museum. .,Located a few blocks down Main Street from the Mothman statue, the river museum includes historical exhibits and archives on everything from the steamboat trade to the 1967 Silver Bridge disaster. With plans to expand and add an aquarium in partnership with Marshall University, Mothman is distinctly out of place here. Out of place, but not entirely absent: the river . museum sells copies of a book about Mothman. "I always said there would never be anything about Mothman· in this museum," sighed Fowler. "But When the convention's happening, so many people come in here and ask about it." Leo "Doc': Sanders of Point Pleasant; Ronald Sims of Gallipolis; Charles T.

Those whose bodies never were recovered were Kathy Byus of Point Pleasant and Maxine Turner of Point Pleasant. Just minutes after the collapse, a rescue effort like no other began. Employees from City Ice and Fuel were on the .scene within minutes and rescued five people from the frigid waters. Arriving within an hour of the collapse were various rescue units from Mason County as well as the surrounding area. National agencies also were on the scene. The days following ' the collapse were filled with visits from state officials, volunteers working around the clock in the rescue and recovery effort and families patieinly waiting for any word on whether their loved ones had survived. Later declared a national disaster by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, the tragedy is one that remains in most people's minds, especially family members of the victims and those living and working in the community today. Edward Nelson, 51 , said that althoul\h he had no immediate connection .~o the tragedy, it is an event · he remembers vividly. "I was only II in 1967 when this horrible disaster shocked the nation and much ·Of the civilized world," he said via e-mail. "I don't know why this subr ject still atfects me deeply, but it does. I still pray for the victims and their families. ; "I am pleased that there will be some special memorial observance for the 40th anniversary of the disaster," he added, referring to Saturday's pla4ue dedication at 4:55p.m. at the former site of the bridge near Sixth Street. "I know that I will be · observing a moment of silence at5 p.m, on Dec. 15." Remembering those who were lost is something that is on many people's minds, especially . today, as Point Pleasant Mayor Marilyn McDaniel pointed out. "This tragedy happened, and it broke our hearts, and we always grieve, especially on the anniversary," McDaniel said. ''But it's also about coming together, grieving together and growing together. "Everybody has somebody they lost, and we'll never forget them," she added. "There were some wonderful people lost, and we are still so sorrowful for them and their families, But we've turned around, and we've begun to grow." The fact that the community has been able 10 recover shows that the scar is just that - a scar. Although it will never completely disappear, the past 40 years have helped prove it will fade with time. Stories still will be shltred, tears still will be shed and people still will question "Why us? Why here?" But the community will continue to heal. The 2006 application was, denied because not enough participating merchants were members of County the Meigs Comll)unity Improvement Corporation , which filed that first application. Another application will be filed in the spring, according to Downtown Revitalization Coordinator and Mayor-e lect Michael Gerlach.

W.Va. - A quick stroll up Mai n Street is enough to learn who this river town 's most famous resident is: His . name is on signs, in shop windows and restaurants, and there 's eyen a museum devoted to him. And the sculpture in the middle of town prominently. depicts his enormous wings and glowing red eyes. More than 40 years after the first reported sighting of the my stenous creature later dubbed "Mothman," residents here have embraced his legend, helping to turn the town into a destination for people in search of lm offbeat tourism experience. ·But while there 's no local consensus OJ\ the veracity of the stories, most agree that Mothman is good for business. "It's helped the town, it's actually helped with business recruitment," said Ruth Finley, who owns the 106year-old Lowe Hotel on Main Street along with her husband. "People come because of Mothman and they stay at the hotel, they go to the restaurants." Every September, Point Pleasant hosts the weekendlong Moth man Festival, which draws about 2,000 Bridge from PageA1 Thomas A.

In addi tio.n to facade improvements to r livatelyowned buildings, the project also included sidewalk and curb replacement. removal of old street lights and installation of 30 new ones, and other streetscape elements, The Middleport Development Group, the lead organization in the project; was notified Friday that the application filed in October for Tier II downtown revitalization funding was denied by the Ohio Department of Development. The village 's first application was denied just a year ago, and the group has spent most of 2007 preparing a stronger application for this round . AMP , from Page A1 and if it needs to continue longer, it will ," Eiselstein. Eiselstein reiterated there was no way to really get an idea of how long tbe hearing will go on. The length of the hearing will depend on how long the testimony and cross examination takes as well as how much material · is presented. • peopk a year .to this town of roughly 4,500 at the contluence of the Kanawha and Ohio rivers. Walking along Main Street, conventione&s can have their· picture taken near the statue, drink a Mothman Frappachino and drop into the Moth man Museum, whick convinci ngly bills itself as the world's only such institution. . Inside, they can look over everything from handwritten eyewitness accounts of Moth man sightings to voluminous newspaper clippings to props from the 2002 Richard Gere film "The Mothman Prophecies," which helped boost interest in the creature and Point Pleasant. Jeremy Pitchford, an employee at the 2-year-old museum, said it's a valuable repository for a side of Point Pleasllilt that few were willing . to even discuss until recently. 'This has been something that's been kind of suppressed, in a way," he said. "A lot of people never knew that Point Pleasant had anything like its own folklore." The first S·ighting was reported on Nov. 15, 1966, by a group of people in an area of town known as TNT, th~ site of a former World War II munitions plant. Others ·tater came forward to say they had seen a gray creature about 7 feet tall with bright red eyes and wings like a bird. The sightings ended abruptly on Dec. 15,. 1967 , the day of the collapse of the Silver Bridge, which linked Point Pleasant to Ohio. Forty six people .were killed, and ever since people have speculated on whether the sightings were connected to the tragedy. During the Mothman convention, tourists drive out to TNT hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature,•but · usually have to settle for a more prosaic version: . the Mothman pizza made at Village Pizza. A genuinely unique ereation, the $10 pie ~epicts the fearsome creature with eyes made of red and green peppers dotted by an olive pupil, mushroom wings and a pepperoni body. It's such a classic that Bill Ward knew he had to leave it on the menu when he bought the restaurant four years ago. "We sell a lot of them when the convention's in town," he said. Even when it's not convention time, the town has its share of Mothman visitors, including film crews. Recently, a crew shooting an episode for the new A&E series "Paranormal State" was in town, and the Lowe Hotel has hosted crews from as far away as Japa:n and Australia. Not everyone in Point Pleasant is thrilled with the attention. A town rich in hi story from the Revolutionary War to the era when steamboat traffic crowded the Ohio . and Kanawha rivers, some chafe at being so wellknown for reputed visits from a winged creature with glowing. eyes. "With all the history we have here, what do people come here for? That darn Mothman," said Jack Fowler, executive director of the Point Pleasant River Museum. .,Located a few blocks down Main Street from the Mothman statue, the river museum includes historical exhibits and archives on everything from the steamboat trade to the 1967 Silver Bridge disaster. With plans to expand and add an aquarium in partnership with Marshall University, Mothman is distinctly out of place here. Out of place, but not entirely absent: the river . museum sells copies of a book about Mothman. "I always said there would never be anything about Mothman· in this museum," sighed Fowler. "But When the convention's happening, so many people come in here and ask about it." Leo "Doc': Sanders of Point Pleasant; Ronald Sims of Gallipolis; Charles T. Smith of Bidwell; Oma Smith of Bidwell; Maxine Sturgeon of Kanauga; Denzil Taylor of Point Pleasant; Glenna Mae Taylor of Point Pleasant; Robert Eugene To we of Can a, Va.; .

Those whose bodies never were recovered were Kathy Byus of Point Pleasant and Maxine Turner of Point Pleasant. Just minutes after the collapse, a rescue effort like no other began. Employees from City Ice and Fuel were on the .scene within minutes and rescued five people from the frigid waters. Arriving within an hour of the collapse were various rescue units from Mason County as well as the surrounding area. National agencies also were on the scene. The days following ' the collapse were filled with visits from state officials, volunteers working around the clock in the rescue and recovery effort and families patieinly waiting for any word on whether their loved ones had survived. Later declared a national disaster by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, the tragedy is one that remains in most people's minds, especially family members of the victims and those living and working in the community today. Edward Nelson, 51 , said that althoul\h he had no immediate connection .~o the tragedy, it is an event · he remembers vividly. "I was only II in 1967 when this horrible disaster shocked the nation and much ·Of the civilized world," he said via e-mail. "I don't know why this subr ject still atfects me deeply, but it does. I still pray for the victims and their families. ; "I am pleased that there will be some special memorial observance for the 40th anniversary of the disaster," he added, referring to Saturday's pla4ue dedication at 4:55p.m. at the former site of the bridge near Sixth Street. "I know that I will be · observing a moment of silence at5 p.m, on Dec. 15." Remembering those who were lost is something that is on many people's minds, especially . today, as Point Pleasant Mayor Marilyn McDaniel pointed out. "This tragedy happened, and it broke our hearts, and we always grieve, especially on the anniversary," McDaniel said. ''But it's also about coming together, grieving together and growing together. "Everybody has somebody they lost, and we'll never forget them," she added. "There were some wonderful people lost, and we are still so sorrowful for them and their families, But we've turned around, and we've begun to grow." The fact that the community has been able 10 recover shows that the scar is just that - a scar. Although it will never completely disappear, the past 40 years have helped prove it will fade with time. Stories still will be shltred, tears still will be shed and people still will question "Why us? Why here?" But the community will continue to heal. The 2006 application was, denied because not enough participating merchants were members of County the Meigs Comll)unity Improvement Corporation , which filed that first application. Another application will be filed in the spring, according to Downtown Revitalization Coordinator and Mayor-e lect Michael Gerlach. "We will meet . soon to find out what the weaknesses in the application are and re-submit in the spring," Gerlach said. "In the meantime, there are plenty of projects to benefit the downtown area that will keep us busy." · Gerlach said plans for the new river walk will still go forward next year, and funds !iet aside for the demolition of the Ervin building 01i North Second Avenue will be used for that purpose even thou gh the revitalization program is on Eiselstein said the entire proceeding will be transcribed by a court . reporter and be made available on the OPSB 's website after it concludes.

A $1.9 million review of nll ing· in the politically inlluemial state found that a magnet or a personal digital assistant cou ld corrupt res ult s in s0111e machines, :t nd Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner called on state ot1icials to revamp the mting system in time for the Nov6mber 2008 prestdential election. The report by corporate and academic scientists did· n't address the probability of an attack. Electronic voting machines have been purchased across the U.S. as part of a $3 billion conversion .laid out in the federal Help America Vote Act. In Ohio, 57 of the state' s 88 counties use a touchscreen voting system; the others use optical-scan machines, where .voters use a pen to fill out a ballot that is then scanned. Based in the report, Brunner is recommending that the state move away from touch-screens to opti· cal-scan systems, which may be more secure, said Patrick Gallaway, . a spokesman for the secretary .of state's office. Brunner, a Democrat, als9 proposed replacing current vottng locations with a smaller number of more centralized voting centers. Ballots also would be counted at these centralized locations, instead of at the precinct level. To prevent confusion and l~mg lines, she also recom~ mended allowing voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before 3,11 election. Brunner said she will not force Cuyahoga County Ohio's most populous county, and one plagued with electronic voting problems - to se lect optical-sc an machines for the March primary. In light of the study, though, she said she would be disappointed if elections officials there don't. House Speaker Jon Husted. a Republican from suburban Dayton, joined Brunner at a news conference to re.lea6e the report, sending a signal to Ohioans that there is bipartisan sup. port for studying the recommendations. Both he and Brunner Rodriguez mum on Michigan, Page B4 "We're pleased to offer this new web site as another service of the audilor's office," Betz said.

A $1.9 million review of nll ing· in the politically inlluemial state found that a magnet or a personal digital assistant cou ld corrupt res ult s in s0111e machines, :t nd Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner called on state ot1icials to revamp the mting system in time for the Nov6mber 2008 prestdential election. The report by corporate and academic scientists did· n't address the probability of an attack. Electronic voting machines have been purchased across the U.S. as part of a $3 billion conversion .laid out in the federal Help America Vote Act. In Ohio, 57 of the state' s 88 counties use a touchscreen voting system; the others use optical-scan machines, where .voters use a pen to fill out a ballot that is then scanned. Based in the report, Brunner is recommending that the state move away from touch-screens to opti· cal-scan systems, which may be more secure, said Patrick Gallaway, . a spokesman for the secretary .of state's office. Brunner, a Democrat, als9 proposed replacing current vottng locations with a smaller number of more centralized voting centers. Ballots also would be counted at these centralized locations, instead of at the precinct level. To prevent confusion and l~mg lines, she also recom~ mended allowing voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before 3,11 election. Brunner said she will not force Cuyahoga County Ohio's most populous county, and one plagued with electronic voting problems - to se lect optical-sc an machines for the March primary. In light of the study, though, she said she would be disappointed if elections officials there don't. House Speaker Jon Husted. a Republican from suburban Dayton, joined Brunner at a news conference to re.lea6e the report, sending a signal to Ohioans that there is bipartisan sup. port for studying the recommendations. Both he and Brunner Rodriguez mum on Michigan, Page B4 "We're pleased to offer this new web site as another service of the audilor's office," Betz said.

Sunday, December 16,.2007 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday, December 16,2007 Duke hires Cutcliffe as-football co~ch, Sumlin takes over at Houston DURHAM, N.C. (AP) David Cutclilfe, the former Mis'sissippi coach who spent the last two seasons as TennesSee's offensive coordi. nator, was hired by Duke on Friday. The Associated Press has learned. Cutcliffe will be introduced as· Duke's head coach Juring a news conference Saturday. a person familiar with the decision said on condit ion of anonymity because the announcement hadn 't yet been made. At Duke, he' ll have the i.liflicult iask of building the Blue Devils into. winners after the. team won just 22 games during the past 13 seasons. The decision to hire Cutcliffe apparently was reached dunng an evening meeting of Duke's search committee. The 53-year-olq coach said earlier in the day he had interviewed for the position, but denied receiving an offer. . With the hiring, Duke turned to the mentor of the Manning family of quarterbacks to shed its well-documented struggles. Cute liffe worked with Peyton Manning during the coach's ftrst stint at Tennessee, and later coached Eli Manning at Mississippi. The Blue Devils have endured three losing streaks of 15 or more gmnes during the last 13 seasons, have lost ·at least 10 games in three straight seasons and fired Ted Roof last month after a 1- 11 finish and a 6-45 overall.mark during four-plus seasons . Earlier Fnday night, Duke athletic director Joe Alleva dec! ined to say whether anyone had been offered the job, but as he left his oftice -at Cameron Indoor Stadium at about 7:30p.m. he expressed contidence that a hire was coming soon. "By the end of the weekend, we 'll be done," Alleva said. . Cutcliffe, one of six coaches known to have interviewed for the job, met both main criteria laid out nearly three weeks ago by Alleva, who wanted to replace Roof with an experienced head coach from the Bowl Subdivision who has an- offense-minded repuliltion. Cutcliffe has been on Phillip Fulmer's Tennessee stalf tor the past two seasons, orchestrating the offense and working with the Volunteers' quarterbacks, but has longed to become a head coach agam. "We all kind of have a desire to run a program that 's kind of why I got into it," Cutclitle said at Tennessee 's l)ledia day in advance of the Vols' Outback Bowl appearance. 'That really hasn't changed. I"m still fairly young ... but I just feel like there's a lot left out there to be done." It was not immediately -clear if Cutcliffe would remain for the bowl game. . One of the first. Tennessee players Cutcliffe groomed mto an NFL quarterback, Heath Shuler, prmsed the hiring of his former position coach because of his skills as a tactician. Shuler, now a Congressman -representing western North Carolina, blossomed under Cutcliffe and was p,icked third overall by the Washington Redskins in 1994. "He always talked to me about having a plan, and I took it in reference to football for so long - have a plan if the defense does this - but the real message he was sending to me was, have a plan for life," Shuler said. "There's no doubt that David Cutcliffe has il plan when it comes to being the head coach at Duke." Cutcliffe was 44-29 in six seasons at Mississippi, but in less than a year went !rom Cotton Bowl champion to the unemployment line. The only coach in Ole Miss history to win at least seven games in each of his first five seasons, Cutcliffe guided the Rebel s to four bowl berths, and clearly, his Eli Manningled 2003 team was his best. Ole Miss won I0 games, claimed a share of the SEC West title and beat Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl that season. But the following season, the Rebels had trouble replacing the first-round draft pick. and they slipped to a 47 linish. Sumlin agrees to 5-year deal with Cougars . HOUSTON (AP) Oklahoma assistant Kevin Sumlin was · introduced as Houston's new coach Friday atier agreeing to a live-year deal. Sumlin, the first black head coach in ·the 60-year history of the UH program, has been an Oklahoma assistant -for the past five seasons under Bob Stoops. He was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in 2006 and the Sooners nmked third nationally this season at 44 points a game. Houston put on quite a show to welcome the 43year-old Sumlin. The band struck up the fight song, cheerleaders danced , and players past and present applauded before Sumlin steP,pect to a podium. ' l ve always seen the University of Houston as a gold mine," said Sumlin, Houston 's . lith coach. "It's the largest city in a great football-playing state. There is a wealth of talent. Any time you have a university with that many players around it, you're goins to have a great chance to wm." The Houston area has produced players such as Vmce Young, Thurman Thomas and Cougars Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware. Houston athletics director Dave Maggard deolined to say how much the five-year deal was worth for Sumlin, who's taking his first head coaching position. Sumlin will continue to work for the Sooners ( 11 -2) through their Fiesta Bowl matchup with West Virginia ( 10-2). He planned to return to Norman later Friday. Houston assisiant Chris Thurmond was named the interim coach of the Cougars after Art Briles left for Baylor on Nov. 28. Thurmond will coach Houston (8-4) against TCU (7-5) in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 28. Briles turned the Cougars into a consistent winner, but Maggard wants the prowam in the national spotlight. Briles went 34-28 in five seasons, with only one losing season. Before ·his arrival, the Cougars had only two winning seasons in th~ previous 12 years. Briles also lost three bowl games, and while the highflying offense always ranked among the national leaders, 'the defense · typically struggled. "I felt ·the need to have someone that will set high el\pectations with us, will meet the high el\pectations we have here at the .University of Houston," Maggard said.. "The vision here is for us to reclaim our position in the national picture. "This guy is going to energize this program." Sumlin's hiring raises the total of black coaches at 119 major college programs back to six. The others are Buffalo's Turner Gill, Mississippi Statels Sylvester Croom, Washington's Tyrone Willingham, Kansas State's Ron Prince and Miami's Randy Shannon. Sumlin was an assistant lit Washington State, Wyoming, Minnesota, Purdue and Texas A&M before ~loops hired him before the 2003 season. He was the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach before he was promoied to co-offensive coordimitor, passing game coordinator and receivers coach in 2006. ·ruo women's soccer signs first recruit for 2008. .

Sunday, December 16,.2007 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday, December 16,2007 Duke hires Cutcliffe as-football co~ch, Sumlin takes over at Houston DURHAM, N.C. (AP) David Cutclilfe, the former Mis'sissippi coach who spent the last two seasons as TennesSee's offensive coordi. nator, was hired by Duke on Friday. The Associated Press has learned. Cutcliffe will be introduced as· Duke's head coach Juring a news conference Saturday. a person familiar with the decision said on condit ion of anonymity because the announcement hadn 't yet been made. At Duke, he' ll have the i.liflicult iask of building the Blue Devils into. winners after the. team won just 22 games during the past 13 seasons. The decision to hire Cutcliffe apparently was reached dunng an evening meeting of Duke's search committee. The 53-year-olq coach said earlier in the day he had interviewed for the position, but denied receiving an offer. . With the hiring, Duke turned to the mentor of the Manning family of quarterbacks to shed its well-documented struggles. Cute liffe worked with Peyton Manning during the coach's ftrst stint at Tennessee, and later coached Eli Manning at Mississippi. The Blue Devils have endured three losing streaks of 15 or more gmnes during the last 13 seasons, have lost ·at least 10 games in three straight seasons and fired Ted Roof last month after a 1- 11 finish and a 6-45 overall.mark during four-plus seasons . Earlier Fnday night, Duke athletic director Joe Alleva dec! ined to say whether anyone had been offered the job, but as he left his oftice -at Cameron Indoor Stadium at about 7:30p.m. he expressed contidence that a hire was coming soon. "By the end of the weekend, we 'll be done," Alleva said. . Cutcliffe, one of six coaches known to have interviewed for the job, met both main criteria laid out nearly three weeks ago by Alleva, who wanted to replace Roof with an experienced head coach from the Bowl Subdivision who has an- offense-minded repuliltion. Cutcliffe has been on Phillip Fulmer's Tennessee stalf tor the past two seasons, orchestrating the offense and working with the Volunteers' quarterbacks, but has longed to become a head coach agam. "We all kind of have a desire to run a program that 's kind of why I got into it," Cutclitle said at Tennessee 's l)ledia day in advance of the Vols' Outback Bowl appearance. 'That really hasn't changed. I"m still fairly young ... but I just feel like there's a lot left out there to be done." It was not immediately -clear if Cutcliffe would remain for the bowl game. . One of the first. Tennessee players Cutcliffe groomed mto an NFL quarterback, Heath Shuler, prmsed the hiring of his former position coach because of his skills as a tactician. Shuler, now a Congressman -representing western North Carolina, blossomed under Cutcliffe and was p,icked third overall by the Washington Redskins in 1994. "He always talked to me about having a plan, and I took it in reference to football for so long - have a plan if the defense does this - but the real message he was sending to me was, have a plan for life," Shuler said. "There's no doubt that David Cutcliffe has il plan when it comes to being the head coach at Duke." Cutcliffe was 44-29 in six seasons at Mississippi, but in less than a year went !rom Cotton Bowl champion to the unemployment line. The only coach in Ole Miss history to win at least seven games in each of his first five seasons, Cutcliffe guided the Rebel s to four bowl berths, and clearly, his Eli Manningled 2003 team was his best. Ole Miss won I0 games, claimed a share of the SEC West title and beat Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl that season. But the following season, the Rebels had trouble replacing the first-round draft pick. and they slipped to a 47 linish. Sumlin agrees to 5-year deal with Cougars . HOUSTON (AP) Oklahoma assistant Kevin Sumlin was · introduced as Houston's new coach Friday atier agreeing to a live-year deal. Sumlin, the first black head coach in ·the 60-year history of the UH program, has been an Oklahoma assistant -for the past five seasons under Bob Stoops. He was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in 2006 and the Sooners nmked third nationally this season at 44 points a game. Houston put on quite a show to welcome the 43year-old Sumlin. The band struck up the fight song, cheerleaders danced , and players past and present applauded before Sumlin steP,pect to a podium. ' l ve always seen the University of Houston as a gold mine," said Sumlin, Houston 's . lith coach. "It's the largest city in a great football-playing state. There is a wealth of talent. Any time you have a university with that many players around it, you're goins to have a great chance to wm." The Houston area has produced players such as Vmce Young, Thurman Thomas and Cougars Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware. Houston athletics director Dave Maggard deolined to say how much the five-year deal was worth for Sumlin, who's taking his first head coaching position. Sumlin will continue to work for the Sooners ( 11 -2) through their Fiesta Bowl matchup with West Virginia ( 10-2). He planned to return to Norman later Friday. Houston assisiant Chris Thurmond was named the interim coach of the Cougars after Art Briles left for Baylor on Nov. 28. Thurmond will coach Houston (8-4) against TCU (7-5) in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 28. Briles turned the Cougars into a consistent winner, but Maggard wants the prowam in the national spotlight. Briles went 34-28 in five seasons, with only one losing season. Before ·his arrival, the Cougars had only two winning seasons in th~ previous 12 years. Briles also lost three bowl games, and while the highflying offense always ranked among the national leaders, 'the defense · typically struggled. "I felt ·the need to have someone that will set high el\pectations with us, will meet the high el\pectations we have here at the .University of Houston," Maggard said.. "The vision here is for us to reclaim our position in the national picture. "This guy is going to energize this program." Sumlin's hiring raises the total of black coaches at 119 major college programs back to six. The others are Buffalo's Turner Gill, Mississippi Statels Sylvester Croom, Washington's Tyrone Willingham, Kansas State's Ron Prince and Miami's Randy Shannon. Sumlin was an assistant lit Washington State, Wyoming, Minnesota, Purdue and Texas A&M before ~loops hired him before the 2003 season. He was the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach before he was promoied to co-offensive coordimitor, passing game coordinator and receivers coach in 2006. ·ruo women's soccer signs first recruit for 2008. .

Perusing the Gallipolis newspapers for December 1937, one learns that retail trade was brisk and that all records for outgoing first class mail were smashed by tlie Gallipolis Post Office. Some tllought that perhaps America had turned the corner on the Great Depression: However, one notes a great demand for donations to help the poor. The Union Mission at 13 Mill Creek told how there was a very acute need for winter clothing. Some 98 food baskets just in the city were made by the Union Mission. There were 28 youngsters in the . Children's Home in 1937 and 30 residents .at the county home . Some 200 underprivileged children were given gifts at a big party held by the :Washington School PTA .. Some of the popular gifts in 1937 included Pacquin's lotion for hands, a 35,piece ceramic dinner set for $4.97 (made in the USA, · too). Children wanted Cradle Style Dial phones, etching ·sets and steel wagons. Luckoff's advertised children's snow suits for $1.98, printed children:s dresses for 97 cents, and dress shirts for 59 cents. Hungry shoppers could stop by the Hughes Drug Store and get a baked ham sandwich ~nd a malted milk shake for 23 cents. Entertainment in Gallipo lis, the week before Chri stmas, included performers from the Brown County JambOree, including Pa and Ma McCormick. ·Playing at the Gallipolis Theatre along with the above singers were such movies as "High Flyers" with Wheeler and Woolsey, and "Farewell Again" with Leslie Banks. An unusual wedding took place that week at Holzer Hospital when 68-year-old Harry Spencer (in the hospital with a crushed leg) married 39-year-old Mary Reapp. The ceremony was performed by Methodist pastor Scott Westerman , with Dr. Holzer and others looking on. · The Bapti st Church of Gallipolis presented the play "The Other Shepherd" about the faithful shepherd who put t,he welfare of his fellow shepherds tirst and thereby missed the vision that came to the other shepherds on the hillside.

At the central entrance to the City Park on Second Avenue, loud speakers were set up and various choirs and individuals sang carols twice a day for the week leading up to Christmas. And for those already wishing for winter to be over, the Greene Line Steamboat Co. was booking passage for· their annual Mardi · Gras trip from Cincinnati to New Orleans. The Greene Line was also booking excursions from Cincinnati to Cairo, Ill., for May and June 1938. (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Perusing the Gallipolis newspapers for December 1937, one learns that retail trade was brisk and that all records for outgoing first class mail were smashed by tlie Gallipolis Post Office. Some tllought that perhaps America had turned the corner on the Great Depression: However, one notes a great demand for donations to help the poor. The Union Mission at 13 Mill Creek told how there was a very acute need for winter clothing. Some 98 food baskets just in the city were made by the Union Mission. There were 28 youngsters in the . Children's Home in 1937 and 30 residents .at the county home . Some 200 underprivileged children were given gifts at a big party held by the :Washington School PTA .. Some of the popular gifts in 1937 included Pacquin's lotion for hands, a 35,piece ceramic dinner set for $4.97 (made in the USA, · too). Children wanted Cradle Style Dial phones, etching ·sets and steel wagons. Luckoff's advertised children's snow suits for $1.98, printed children:s dresses for 97 cents, and dress shirts for 59 cents. Hungry shoppers could stop by the Hughes Drug Store and get a baked ham sandwich ~nd a malted milk shake for 23 cents. Entertainment in Gallipo lis, the week before Chri stmas, included performers from the Brown County JambOree, including Pa and Ma McCormick. ·Playing at the Gallipolis Theatre along with the above singers were such movies as "High Flyers" with Wheeler and Woolsey, and "Farewell Again" with Leslie Banks. An unusual wedding took place that week at Holzer Hospital when 68-year-old Harry Spencer (in the hospital with a crushed leg) married 39-year-old Mary Reapp. The ceremony was performed by Methodist pastor Scott Westerman , with Dr. Holzer and others looking on. · The Bapti st Church of Gallipolis presented the play "The Other Shepherd" about the faithful shepherd who put t,he welfare of his fellow shepherds tirst and thereby missed the vision that came to the other shepherds on the hillside.

Ward. These are icons," said . Rick Goldschmidt, historian of the Rankin/Bass animation studio, who accompanied the puppets to the convention over Thanksgiving weekend. "They looked just like they did on TV," marveled Ruth Haines, 46, of Kirtland, Ohio, as she gazed into the glass display case. "I coul~n't believe what good condition they were in." But that was not the case two .years ago_ when the figures were acqmred by current owner Kevin Kriess. Santa's face was stained, there was mold under his beard and half his mustache was gone. Rudolph was missing the red light bulb from his nose, said Kriess, a longtime fan of the special whose Harmony, Pa.based business Tin;IeaudSpaceToys .com sells action figures· and other collectibles based on m!)vies and TV shows. Kriess, 44, said he bought his two treasures from a pers?n whose family had received them years ago from a relative who worked for Rankin/Bas~. For ·man)! years, the delicate wood, wire and fabric puppets had been treated casually: fust as toys and later as holiday decorations. "They had Rudolph in a candy dish . with candy all around him, just on a coffee table, and people would just The Joint Implant Center . Insurance A2ency reach in around Rudolph's body and pull OUt a Candy cane or SO!IIething," Kriess said. In the family's holiday photos, you· could spot Santa slumped under a tree in a corner, he said. Arthur Rankin Jr., who with producing partner Jules Bass created the "Rudolph" speci~l for original sponsor General Electric, said the figures were just going to be thrown out, so his secretary took them home and gave them to . family. No effort was made to preserve them, because no one imagined the show would become a hallowed classic. "You make a film and you don't know whether it's going to work or not, whether it will have an audience, etc., etc.," said Ra_nkin , 83, reached by phone in Bermuda, where he is now retired. "In the case of ' Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer,' it went beyond any expectations." The firm in Japan that animated the figures likely had a half-dozen replicas of each figurt;. Rankin said. But he beheves any other red-suit Sarltas and yearling Rudolphs were probably discarded, because the puppets tended to get worn out by the animators. The firm Used the "St?p ~ motion" method - startmg an~ stopping a c~mera .whde ariJIS ~nd ?lher parts are moved m tmy mcr~­ ments that appear as flmd movement in the final fil~.

He took the figur~s to Los Angeles stop-mouon am mation studio Screen Novelties International, which restored them. Anim&l hair was found to match the surviving half of Santa's mustache, and Rudolph's red nose . was rewired and now lights again. Kriess said the company did the work mostly as a labor of love and charged only $4,000 for expenses. A few puppets of other characters are still in the; possession of people who ":orke.d on the film, s,aid histonan Goldschmtdt, whose books include "The M~ng of the _ Rankin/Bass Hobday Class1c: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.' .

Specializing in total joint replacement ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CINCINNATI - As a fine arts graduate student in the early 1980s, Carol Tyler felt she had to hide her interest in cartoon drawing from teachers. An art form associated with comic books and comic strips wasn' t ·considered college material. Now a professional cartoonist and graphic novelist, Tyler began teaching the University of Cincinnati's fii'St comics art class last year: Other colleges also have started such classes as critical and academic respect for comics has ~rown. Courses that began m . 2005 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are starting to draw professional artists and public schoolteachers. Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., will start its first course this spring. Applications have increased by at least 50 percent at The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vt., which was founded two years ago and won state approval this year for a master in fine arts degree "Schools are now recognizin~ the creative and commercial value of comics," Tyler sai<! as she watched students outline their pencil drawings in ink, filling i[\ sections with black or gray tones. ''An interest in comics and cartooning doesn't have to be a secret any more." Some students hope to learn skills useful for advertising, film, video game or illustration careers. Some just enjoy comics, and others want to produce comics or graphic.novels . "I started drawing comics wllen I was about 12, but . . had sort of put it aside," said Mariana Young, 25 , of Cincinnati, who wants to be a professional cartoonist and produce a one-character series to be published quarterly. Tyler' s students learn graphic design, composition, lettering, layout and how to draw fi gures that convey emotion. She also tries to show them how ·to organize their thoughts to deliver clear and concise ideas. Story lines have included the impact of nannies on a student's life and recollections of a colotful grandfather. The director of the National Association of Comic Art Educators, Ben Towle, said it's too soon to have hard data on numbers or where· new classes are being taught. But the 5year-old association is fielding many more inquiries about starting classes. "There are a lot of scattershot courses as opposed to dedicated programs, but you wouldn' t even have seen that five years ago," he said. . Demand also is growing for established courses, and some s chools have waiting lists take classes. The number of freshmen in the cartooning major at the School of Visual Arts · in' New York more than doubled from 2002 to last year. The Savannah College of Art and Design offered comics art in 1992 as an elective to a handful of students. The school now has nearly 300 undergraduates and 50 graduate students pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees in comics art, also known as sequential art. A lot of the credit goes to the emergence in the l 980s of graph1c novels offering Pro~ider Beverly Phillips CNP·Certilied Nurse Pra<titioner Most insurance's accepted including Tri·Care Available for those who " more complex and complete story lines for more mature audience s. They typi call y are more durably bound and longer tt\an the floppy comic magazines that told the tales of Superman or the antics of small-town teenager Archie Andrews and friends. Even traditional superheroes gradually have shown a darker, more personal side appealing to older readers. Many of those series have been collected into more colorful book formats and marketed as graphic novels. But the young haven'tlost ·interest. More high school s and even grade schools are seeking advice on ways to foster student interest iii cartooning, said Michelle Ollie, managing director at the Vermont school. The center has had to add a second section to its pre-college workshops to accommodate demand. The graphic novel's increased critical acclaim and greater visibility in mainstream bookstores and libraries have contributed to the growing respect for comics art. Educators also cite the worldwide popularity and influence of Japanese comics known as manga written for children and adults - and the transformation of graphic novels such as "Ghost World" into Hollywood films. Schools have seen dramatic increases in the numher of female students, attributed largely to manga and graphic novel themes that include romance, historical drama, autobiography, fantasy and mystery. More schools also are studying comics as literature or creative writing in Engli~h departments. And although art educators and student s say academic prejudice still exists, there are more academic conferences on comics, and libraries are increasingly carry ing comic works. "With graphic nove ls and manga, librurians have seen an upsurge in llemand the last three to fi ve years and many say manga is their hi ghest circulation materi• al," Ann Kim. special projects and graphi c novels editor for t~ Library Journal, said. "There is definitely more res pectnow." The comic s publishing industry has grown with the broader range of comic types and outlets. Dark Horse Comics·· sales .were primarily through the comic book specialty market for years. but now about half of. sal es are through bookstores, Diana Schutz, a Dark Horse executive editor, said. John Lowe, chairman of Savannah 's sequential art department, th i nk~ budget concerns have kept some schools from moving' faster to add comics art courses. " But with schools beginning to realize that comics aren 't j'ust for juveniles and more students wanting this, l believe we'll see comics art classes opening up like wildfire in the next five years or so," Lowe said . University of Cincinnati student Danielle Mahar, 21, who is leaning toward a book illustration career, credits Tyler's class with winning her a job illustrating a children 's book . "People have grown up with comic>. but they don 't realize just how much work and time go into them," said Mahar. of Strongsville. Ohio.

Ward. These are icons," said . Rick Goldschmidt, historian of the Rankin/Bass animation studio, who accompanied the puppets to the convention over Thanksgiving weekend. "They looked just like they did on TV," marveled Ruth Haines, 46, of Kirtland, Ohio, as she gazed into the glass display case. "I coul~n't believe what good condition they were in." But that was not the case two .years ago_ when the figures were acqmred by current owner Kevin Kriess. Santa's face was stained, there was mold under his beard and half his mustache was gone. Rudolph was missing the red light bulb from his nose, said Kriess, a longtime fan of the special whose Harmony, Pa.based business Tin;IeaudSpaceToys .com sells action figures· and other collectibles based on m!)vies and TV shows. Kriess, 44, said he bought his two treasures from a pers?n whose family had received them years ago from a relative who worked for Rankin/Bas~. For ·man)! years, the delicate wood, wire and fabric puppets had been treated casually: fust as toys and later as holiday decorations. "They had Rudolph in a candy dish . with candy all around him, just on a coffee table, and people would just The Joint Implant Center .

In the family's holiday photos, you· could spot Santa slumped under a tree in a corner, he said. Arthur Rankin Jr., who with producing partner Jules Bass created the "Rudolph" speci~l for original sponsor General Electric, said the figures were just going to be thrown out, so his secretary took them home and gave them to . family. No effort was made to preserve them, because no one imagined the show would become a hallowed classic. "You make a film and you don't know whether it's going to work or not, whether it will have an audience, etc., etc.," said Ra_nkin , 83, reached by phone in Bermuda, where he is now retired. "In the case of ' Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer,' it went beyond any expectations." The firm in Japan that animated the figures likely had a half-dozen replicas of each figurt;. Rankin said. But he beheves any other red-suit Sarltas and yearling Rudolphs were probably discarded, because the puppets tended to get worn out by the animators.

Now a professional cartoonist and graphic novelist, Tyler began teaching the University of Cincinnati's fii'St comics art class last year: Other colleges also have started such classes as critical and academic respect for comics has ~rown. Courses that began m . 2005 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are starting to draw professional artists and public schoolteachers. Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., will start its first course this spring. Applications have increased by at least 50 percent at The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vt., which was founded two years ago and won state approval this year for a master in fine arts degree "Schools are now recognizin~ the creative and commercial value of comics," Tyler sai<! as she watched students outline their pencil drawings in ink, filling i[\ sections with black or gray tones. ''An interest in comics and cartooning doesn't have to be a secret any more." Some students hope to learn skills useful for advertising, film, video game or illustration careers. Some just enjoy comics, and others want to produce comics or graphic.novels . "I started drawing comics wllen I was about 12, but . . had sort of put it aside," said Mariana Young, 25 , of Cincinnati, who wants to be a professional cartoonist and produce a one-character series to be published quarterly. Tyler' s students learn graphic design, composition, lettering, layout and how to draw fi gures that convey emotion. She also tries to show them how ·to organize their thoughts to deliver clear and concise ideas. Story lines have included the impact of nannies on a student's life and recollections of a colotful grandfather. The director of the National Association of Comic Art Educators, Ben Towle, said it's too soon to have hard data on numbers or where· new classes are being taught. But the 5year-old association is fielding many more inquiries about starting classes. "There are a lot of scattershot courses as opposed to dedicated programs, but you wouldn' t even have seen that five years ago," he said. . Demand also is growing for established courses, and some s chools have waiting lists take classes. The number of freshmen in the cartooning major at the School of Visual Arts · in' New York more than doubled from 2002 to last year. The Savannah College of Art and Design offered comics art in 1992 as an elective to a handful of students. The school now has nearly 300 undergraduates and 50 graduate students pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees in comics art, also known as sequential art. A lot of the credit goes to the emergence in the l 980s of graph1c novels offering Pro~ider Beverly Phillips CNP·Certilied Nurse Pra<titioner Most insurance's accepted including Tri·Care Available for those who " more complex and complete story lines for more mature audience s. They typi call y are more durably bound and longer tt\an the floppy comic magazines that told the tales of Superman or the antics of small-town teenager Archie Andrews and friends. Even traditional superheroes gradually have shown a darker, more personal side appealing to older readers. Many of those series have been collected into more colorful book formats and marketed as graphic novels. But the young haven'tlost ·interest. More high school s and even grade schools are seeking advice on ways to foster student interest iii cartooning, said Michelle Ollie, managing director at the Vermont school. The center has had to add a second section to its pre-college workshops to accommodate demand. The graphic novel's increased critical acclaim and greater visibility in mainstream bookstores and libraries have contributed to the growing respect for comics art. Educators also cite the worldwide popularity and influence of Japanese comics known as manga written for children and adults - and the transformation of graphic novels such as "Ghost World" into Hollywood films. Schools have seen dramatic increases in the numher of female students, attributed largely to manga and graphic novel themes that include romance, historical drama, autobiography, fantasy and mystery. More schools also are studying comics as literature or creative writing in Engli~h departments. And although art educators and student s say academic prejudice still exists, there are more academic conferences on comics, and libraries are increasingly carry ing comic works. "With graphic nove ls and manga, librurians have seen an upsurge in llemand the last three to fi ve years and many say manga is their hi ghest circulation materi• al," Ann Kim. special projects and graphi c novels editor for t~ Library Journal, said. "There is definitely more res pectnow." The comic s publishing industry has grown with the broader range of comic types and outlets. Dark Horse Comics·· sales .were primarily through the comic book specialty market for years. but now about half of. sal es are through bookstores, Diana Schutz, a Dark Horse executive editor, said. John Lowe, chairman of Savannah 's sequential art department, th i nk~ budget concerns have kept some schools from moving' faster to add comics art courses. " But with schools beginning to realize that comics aren 't j'ust for juveniles and more students wanting this, l believe we'll see comics art classes opening up like wildfire in the next five years or so," Lowe said . University of Cincinnati student Danielle Mahar, 21, who is leaning toward a book illustration career, credits Tyler's class with winning her a job illustrating a children 's book . "People have grown up with comic>. but they don 't realize just how much work and time go into them," said Mahar. of Strongsville. Ohio.

Smith·celebrates Christmas with original songs, tour Bv JOHN GEROME AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER FRANKLIN, Tenn. Christmas ~arne early when Michael W. Smith was a kid. It started as soon as September. when his family broke out the holiday tunes by Frank Sinatra. Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand and Andy Williams. "The Andy Williams Christmas album is still \)De of my favorites. All of those records had big· orchestras on them," Smith recalled recently as he sat beside a large console at his recording studio. So when the contemporary gospel singer set out to make his own holiday album, he naturally went for that same lush sound, using a 67-piece orchestra and four choirs for "Michael W. Smith, It's a Wonderful Christmas. " Smith wrote or co-wrote I 0 of the II songs and recorded them at London •s Abbey Road Studios, best known for the Beatles albums · but also where dozens of orchestral film scores were recorded. The music is cinematic, building and swelling before dropping to a hush. Smith, who looks about 10 years younger than his age of 50, seems an eternally busy fellow. Besides his music, he acts and produces movies, writes in~pirational books, started a record label and a teen center, co-pastors a 400-member nondenominational church and does charity and mission work. · He and his wife, Debbie, have five children. "Michael does a great job multitasking," said fellow gospel singer Amy Grant, who helped him launch his solo career in the early '80s. "He's really an initiator, and I think that's why he 's involved in a lot of things. He has a lot .of creative ideas , and then because he' s done well he has the financial resources to start something." · Smith didn't plan to put out a collection of original holiday music in the album released this fall. He wanted to mix traditional carols like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" with some of his own tunes, but once he started writing he got on a roll. "I just kept "'riling things that I felt were really, really strong. Then I thought, 'Well, why not?" he said. This · is Smith's third Christmas album but the first where he's written most of the songs. "I'm such a big Christmas music fan. It's nostalgic for me. We . have a very, very close fa!)lily. It's all about family and.friends and food and people over- all these wonderful memories of my childhood." This month he's performin~ the new music on tour, usmg local orchestras at · each stop. Typically, he'll arrive in town and rehearse a courle of hours with the musictans, take a break and then do the show. Smiih is an old hand at this. Since his 1983 debut, he's sold about 15 million albums and had 31 No. I hits, occasionally crossing over to the . mainstream charts with pop songs like ·"Place in This World." He's become one of the most popular stars in contemporary gospel and made some high-profile friends along the way, such as both Presidents Bush he refers to them as "41" and "43" - and U2 's Bono, with whom he's worked to fight AIDS in Africa. His debut album, "The Michael W. Smith Project," was nominated for a Grammy award. He 's been nominated 12 more times - including this month for pop/contemporary gospel album for "Stand" - and won three. He's also won 40 Dove Awards, the annual honors from the Gospel Music Association. But despite his success in gospel, Smith worries he's not doing enough to influence mainstream culture. When he was reaching the pop charts in the ' 90s, he said, he loved it because he felt like he was "a light bulb in a dark room." "I think about it a lot. 'What am I doing with my life. and am I doing the right .thing?"' Smith says. He pauses a moment and adds, "I do feel like the success I' ve had has given me a platform to try to let people . know what's really impor: AP TELEVISION WRITER NEW YORK- The writers strike and all those extra reruns have freed up time for me to do things other than watch TV. Like think about TV. For instance, as a memory exercise, I've spent time mentally sorting out the rival "Sex and the City" offshoots premiering in the next few weeks: "Cashmere Mafia" starring Lucy Liu on ABC, and "Lipstick Jungle" starring Brooke Shields on NBC. Lipstick. Cashmere. Jungle. Mafia. Maybe actu. ally seeing both shows will help me keep everything straight. Maybe not. But more than thinking ahead, I've been looking back at this fall season, putting some thought to compiling a list of all the new shows I'm crazy about. I couldn't think of any.

He used a 67-piece orchestra and four choirs for "Michael W. Smith, It's a Wonderful Christmas." Meanwhile, networks have announced their retoole(l midseason schedules, a slurry of scripted series that were already in the can, plus lots of unscripted reality fare. But I'm not ready to focus on the future (even "Cashmere" this and "Lipstick" that. which for all I know could both be wonderful shows). I'm still 'mourning the premature passing of a season that never was. The Fall 2007 season will be remembered not for NBC's expected hit "Bionic Woman," which turned out to be a shrinking violet in the ratings. Despite those eye-popping visuals on ABC's "Pushing Daisies," the season's emblematic images have come • from somewhere els~: the picket lines, where wnters, .for once, are getting the spotli~ht. Further shakmg things up, the strike has triggered speculation about its longterm effect on the TV medium. Increased repeats, fewer episodes shot for certain senes, network lineups in appan:nt chaos - will all these potential annoyances this season chase viewers from network TV, or from TV altogether, never to return? Maybe so, some experts predict. Of course not, say others . Have the networks already lost their mojo? Why . were their new fall shows greeted with such viewer indifference? Why are their most-watched shows mostly older series like "CSI" (10 its 8th season), "NCIS" (5th), "TWo . and a Half Men" (5th), "House" (4th) ' and "Desperate Housewives" (4th)1 Nearly 21 million viewers watched the recent "Desperate Housewives" when a tornado slammed Wisteria Lane.

Emergency Service · Insurance Repair Specialist Thanks to a strike and viewer indifference, the fall TV season was over before it started BY FRAZIER MOORE Contemporary gospel singer . Michael W. Smith is shown in his Franklin, : Tenn., studio Dec. 3. When Smith set out to make his own holiday album, he chose the .same lush . sound he heard on Christmas albums as a child. He used a 67-piece orchestra and four choirs for "Michael W. Smith, It's a Wonderful Christmas." Meanwhile, networks have announced their retoole(l midseason schedules, a slurry of scripted series that were already in the can, plus lots of unscripted reality fare. But I'm not ready to focus on the future (even "Cashmere" this and "Lipstick" that. which for all I know could both be wonderful shows). I'm still 'mourning the premature passing of a season that never was. The Fall 2007 season will be remembered not for NBC's expected hit "Bionic Woman," which turned out to be a shrinking violet in the ratings. Despite those eye-popping visuals on ABC's "Pushing Daisies," the season's emblematic images have come • from somewhere els~: the picket lines, where wnters, .for once, are getting the spotli~ht. Further shakmg things up, the strike has triggered speculation about its longterm effect on the TV medium. Increased repeats, fewer episodes shot for certain senes, network lineups in appan:nt chaos - will all these potential annoyances this season chase viewers from network TV, or from TV altogether, never to return? Maybe so, some experts predict. Of course not, say others . Have the networks already lost their mojo? Why . were their new fall shows greeted with such viewer indifference? Why are their most-watched shows mostly older series like "CSI" (10 its 8th season), "NCIS" (5th), "TWo . and a Half Men" (5th), "House" (4th) ' and "Desperate Housewives" (4th)1 Nearly 21 million viewers watched the recent "Desperate Housewives" when a tornado slammed Wisteria Lane. It captured ·the spirit of the real upheaval in the TV industry. Writers are demanding a fair share of revenue from scripts they write that end up on the Web and other _ new media. Studios and networks are countering these new digital platforms aren 't demonstrated earners yet, so !here's no money to share. . favorite trick s: sprinkle the top with superti11c sugar and use a cook's Iorch to create a crun_chy creme brulee effect. Viola. Very French. Very toasty. Quiche and -other eggy breakfast pies There are as many egg pies as there are holiday traditions. And like strata, all · of them accommodate your family's favorite flavors and fillings. Among the easiest is quiche, a simple pie crust (use a purchased one for ease) filled 'with a mixture of eggs, milk and your fav.orite ingredients. Quiche cab be cooked the night before and warmed up while the festivities get going. If quiche seems too pedestrian, Degmm recommends sformatino, Italy's answer to souffle. Made by combining a bechamel base with eggs and flavorings, sforrnatino can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning. Degnan suggests coating buttered rarnekins with finely grated cheese or fresh, herbed bread crumbs. "It's a less fussy soQffle," Degnan says, suggesting flavorings from mild cheese to roasted peppers or nettles.

Va. This is prime growing season for the estimated 3 million gardeners who maintain green houses. Now is when hobbyists protect tender plants, gather seeds to start under lights or bring in incubators to hatch chicks. Chicks in a greenhouse? "Sure," ·said Michell e Moore. general manager of Sol ex x Greenhouses and Panels in Salem, Ore. "It's a little nontraditional, but some of my customers use them as brooder houses and aviaries." Greenhouses are emerging as more than protected growing spaces - they're al so incubators, sc ien ce classrooms and even therapy rooms. Think ef them as sunny lifestyle extensions.

That means heating the greenhouse to at least 65 degrees at night and at 70 degrees or more for at le·ast a few hours during the day. Add foggers and pumps to build humidity to a clinging mist.

Start with steel cut. oats for maximum t1avor and texture (the rolled kind will tum to mush). Cook them overnight on low in a slow cooker, or for even better texture, pour boiling water over the oats and let thein soak overnight. A quick stir over heat in the morning will make ihem ready to eat. Either way, have lots of luxurious garnishes on hand: warm, vanilla-laced heavy cream, pure maple ·syrup, gourmet honey, lots of fruits and nuts , and (for a unique holiday kick) really good egg nog. McLean pairs her oatmeal with a dried fruit compote full .of cranberries, cherries and apricots, spiked with a little cinnamon, star anise and Armagnac to milke it 'just a tiny bit adult." The compote can be made a week in advance . If you really want to go over the top, Degnan says get the torch out again: top a casserole dish of cooked oatmeal with bananas and superfine sugar and torch the top for that brulee effect. _, HOLZER CLINIC Pt.
