The justices were supposed to decide weeks ago whether or not to hear a blatant example of antiChristian bias in New Yorlc City. But still no decision. The case concerns a policy by the New York City public schools to allow displays of the Star and Crescent flag for Ramadan and the Menorah for Hanukkah, but to ban the Nativity scene at Christmas time. The decision makes no legal sense: as the federal courts have previously ruled that .socalled "religious" displays can appear on public property, as long as there is no preference given to one religion over another. As one of the .lead players in defending the traditions of Christmas in the · public arena, I must say that I am tired of it all. It's just so dumb.

TANLEY AUNDERS MONUMENTS II ' EdWiniSOftlrs I I ) IIlii .. )J/1/ Ill I Hou•bld BY MIKE BAKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER •· {' , '1/1/1 " v; " /.I I ; ' II/ I • /////,,,., I FlELP OF DREAMS,.u2.oo7 A mutant tree all aglow . 'Ti~ that special time of year, The Holiday Retail Purchasing Season, a time when we traditionally print heartwarming human-interest stories designed to make you feel better about running up a level of debt normally associated with Mexico. I have just such a heaJ;twarming story, which was published by The Times of London and sent in by alen reader John Nicholls. The story, which I am not making up, concerns a man named Neil from Devon, England, who discovered an owl nesting iii his garden. Each night, Neil would go outside and hoot to the owl. To his delight, he'd hear a hoot in reply; then he'd hoot some more. This went on night after night, month after month; . Neil even kept a log of his conversations with· the owl. Then one day, Neil's wife got to talking about this with a neighbor, who said that her husband, whose name is Fred, had also been going out every night to hoot to the owl. At this point, the women realized that their husbands had in fact spent an entire year hooting to each other. The owl was not involved at all. The owl was · probably inviting its owl friends over to drink owl beer and listen to these two hooting twits and laugh until they fell off the branch. I admit that this heartwarming story is not directly related to the holiday season, hut doesn't it make you feel better? You can Dave Barry say to yourself: "Maybe I will go broke this holiday season, and maybe I will wind up hospitalized with injuries sustained in handto-hand combat with other parents over who gets to buy the last Beanie Baby at the Toys Sure 'R' Expensive store, but at least I will not be spending my evenings . standing in some cold, damp English garden exchanging hoots with a man named Fred!." 'Yes, this is a time of year to . count our blessings. Here's another one: Thanks to science, we may soon have a new, mutant Christmas tree. I have here · an Associated Press article, sent in by many alen readers, about a plant scientist at the University of California at Davis who has isolated a certain gene from a fish .that glows in the dark. The scientist's idea is to put this gene into a Christmas tree, · which would result in-you guessed it-a Christmas tree that eats worms! No, seriously, it will be a Christmas tree that glows in the dark. lsn't that wonderful? No, it is not . I· speak on behalf of every person who has ever attempted to put a Christmas tree into a Christmas-tree stand, only to wind up on the floor, covered with sap and thousands of pine-needle stab marks. Because the Christmas tree is ·the most vicious predator in the entire tree kingdom. You know how sometimes hikers disappear in the forest, and their decomposed bodies are found months later, and the authorities blame it on "exposure"? Did you ever stop to ask yourself: Exposure to what? I'll lei! you what: Christmas trees. They travel in packs and can · strike like lightning with a variety of weapons. FIRST CORONER: What do we have here? SECOND CORONER: It appears to be another victim of "exposure." Take a look at this. FIRST CORONER: Wow! I've never seen a pine cone there before! But as dangerous as Christmas trees can be in the wild, they are far more deadly when you corner one in your house and try to put a tree stand on it. So here's what I want to know: If scienti sts are going to impart a new . quality to Christmas tree s, why would. that quality be the ability to glow in the dark1 What we consumers want in our Christmas trees is the quality of not poking us in the eye, combined with the quality of not always keeling over like fralernity brothers on Intravenous Vodka Night. I say if we're going to inject genes into Christmas trees, let's take these genes from some rigid, immobile organism, such as Roben Stack. Maybe what we're dealing with here is a scientific fad. I say this because of another AP st01y, also sent in by many alert readers, concerning scientists at Osaka University in Japan who have, using DNA · obtained from a jellyfish, managed to create - I am not making this up, either a glow-in-the-dark mouse. Why would they do this? Do they think regular mice are not already alanning enough? Do they think we want to come into our kitchen at 3 a.m. to enjoy a nutritious snack of congealed pizza, only to be confronted by glowing rodents .scuttling around like something out of "The X-Files"? And what will happen when - it's only a matter of time- some scientist has one too many glasses of sake and decides to put some jellyfish DNA into a Christmas tree? Good luck getting THAT thing into a tree stand! FIRST CORONER: Take a look at this. SECOND CORONER: Wow! Looks like that pine cone was inserted with ·some kind of tentacle' · I've run out of space here, so let me just close . this heartwarming holiday column by extending my smcerest generic wishes to each and every one of you, espectally Neil and Fred, to whom I say, from the bottom of my heart : Hoot. • "· .. COLUMBIA. S.C. - .The crowd packed every pew, every doorwuy and nearly every foot of floor space .inside the little chapel to hear from John Edwards, and it seemed like the perfect place for . the former senator and one-time presidential candidate to address his faithful. Because these days, the Nonh Carolina Democrat is not so much on the stump talking as he is in the pulptt preaching. "It is not too much to say that the future of the planet is at stake," Edwards told the crowd spilling out of Rutledge Chapel during a recent speech at the University of South Carol ina. Gone are the days of a rookie senator launching a long-shot bid for the White House by telllng the story of his childhood in the textile towns of the Carolinas . Edwards intends to run in 2008, with an announcement planned late this month in New Orleans, two Democratic officials sa!d Saturday. Edwards' spokesman would not confirm or dehy that Edwards was going to enter the race. The 2004 vke presidential nominee already has a retooled campaign agenda that is unabashedly progressive. Today, Edwards tosses · around phrases such as "universal health care" and "public campaign financing.' He criticizes the Bush administration 's "convergence of stupidity" on education and demands the immediate withdrawal of thousands of U.S. troops from Iraq. "What you're seeing now is a process that started in 2004. when he put on his own clothes, basically, and said, 'I'm going to win or lose as John Edwards,' " said his wife, Elizabeth, who is recovering from a recent bout with breast cancer. "In that case it was 'lose,' but that doesn't mean you can'l .rewrite the ending." That means moving on from the 2004 "'Two Americas" stuinp speech that highlighted what Edwards saw as vast eco: · nomic inequality. In its place is a bold li st of policies and solutions that Edwards believes will help build "One America." "Instead of just describing the problem, we need to focus on what we can do about it," he said . AP photo Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards speaks to Marg Stephens during a book signing in Columbia, S.C., Sunday, Nov. 19. Though he hasn't officially announced any White House intentions, the former North Carolina senator is campaign_ing all the same. Edwards has ditched a moderate health care overhaul in favor of a comprehensive health care plan to cover everyone in the United States - an approach considered ·politically taboo since President Clinton's failed attempt to create such a system early in his tirst term. Edwards also has joined Teamsters President James J-loffa on a Miami picket line and sided with other unions in their fight with Wai-Mart Stores Inc. He has campaigned actively for a higher minimum wage and complained about f~deral bankruptcy laws he says keep people in a cycle of debt. "Low-income families h;lVe been left the furthest behind ," Edwards said. "And nobody 's been their advocate." He has embraced proposals for a rigid public campaign-tinance system aimed at eliminating big money from elections and called for an education policy that removes "every financial barrier" for students who · want to go to college. "Edwards has identified a message area that will give him a niche," said Chris Lehane, a longtime Democratic strategist who has worked on several presidential campaigns. "The issue of poverty reminds people about Democrati c values. 1' Observers note that no one has won the White House by campaigning primarily against poverty and economic equality since Lyndon B. Johnson in I964. While it is an issue that resonates in some places. it has not translated into votes nationwide for decades. Unlike so me potemial rivals, Edwards lacks a $ 10million-plus Senate account he can use for a possible bid. Rather, he still has several hundred thousands of dollars of debt from his 2004 White House bid. It is not just the relooled agenda that make Edwards a different candidate today than he was in 2004. Then, he was four years into his Senate term- his first time in elected oft1ce after two decades a~ a trial lawyer. Only 2 percent of polled voters nationwide thought he should run for president. "This time around he . already has very high namP. recognition," said David Woodard, a political scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina, the one state Edwards won in the 2004 primaries. "And .. : since he hasn't been in the Congress and has a more 'outside-theBeltway' image, his popularity is undiminished." Edwards . has used his time outside of the Senate to focus on issues related to poverty while building the groundwork for a national campaign. He has cultivated friendships with political 'leaders - from state representatives to U.S. senators - by helping raise some $8.5 million for Democratic candidates. He has taken his ren.ewed liberal message to 39 states since Election Day 2004. spending much of that time in Republican territory. That includes rural Iowa, a state he has visited more than a dozen times, as well as Texas and Montana. Houn: Mon-Frt. 9:00 am to S:OO pm Custom designed & lettered for your loved ones, .

Construction also included at-grade intersections with PageA6 Ohio 775 and Kinley Avenue, where traffic signals are in operation. While the entire bypass project has been in development for more than three decades, the Chesapeake Bypass-Phase I B .was the continuation of previous work to<llelocate 7 in Union and Rome townships, and completion of the new roadway will help increase mobility and reduce congestion in the Proctorville area.

The first head-to-head comparison of the flu shot and the new FluMist inhalable vaccine found shots surprisingly more effective in adults. The study, involving about I ,250 Michigan adults, found that a needle in the arn1 was 67 percent to 77 percent successful at preventing the flu, depending on the measurement method . The nasal spray was 30 percent to 57 percent effective. · Flu shots contain killed · flu viruses. FluMist, approved in 2003, delivers weakened)ive viruses. "This study suggests that maybe it doesn't really offer any specific benefit beyond what you would get from just a regular flu shot, and under certain circumstances, it may not be quite a_s good." said Dr. John .

PageC6 ENTERTAINMENT Sunday, December 17, 2006 INSIDE Down on the Fann, Page D2 Gardening, Page 06 fit the mouies: 'The Holiday' a gorgeous, if overlong, homage to classic romanlic comedies BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC Like the gooiest, sweetest cup of eggnog, ·"The Holiday'' doesn't have a whole lot of nutritional value, and you'll probably hate yourself afterward for giving in to it, but it is rich and yummy and irresistible. Writer-director Nancy Meyers, who established· herself as the queen of the glossy chick flick with 200~'s "Something 's : Goua ' Give," offers another beautifully shot, flawlessly crafted film that's both an homage to and an u'pdate of the classy, classic romantic comedies of the 1940s. (t\nd like "Something's Goua Give," it's a little too long and it has its fair share of. hokey moments.) Everyone's witty and great-looking, with fashionable clothes (thanks to costume designer Marlene Stewart), fantastic cars and to-die-for homes. It's total female wish fulfillment as if an entire issue · of lnStyle magazine had been brought to the screen. So just sit back and try not to think too hard. Cameron1 Diaz and Kate Winslet star as bright, talented women simultaneously suffering from man troubles who swap homes for the holidays through a Web site to get away from it all. Diaz's Amanda Woods, whose company creates movie trailers (a very clever job to give a character), ends up in a cozy cottage o·utside London after discovering that her longtime live-in boyfrien11 (Edward Bums) has cheated on her. Winslet, as London Daily Telegraph wedding columnist Iris Simpkins, finds herself luxuriating in a . modern L.A. mansion after the colleague with whom she's had an on-again, off- · again romance (Rufus Sewell) announces his engagement to another woman. Cutting back and forth between their stories, Meyers reveals Amanda trudging through the snow and getting drunk by herself on red wine . when there's not~ing better to do, while Iris swims laps in the pool and soaks up the Southern California sunshine. (One aspect the director does depict realistically, with the help of veteran cinematographer Dean Cundey, is the wonderfully weird sensation of the Los Angeles Christmas: At a time when it's cold everywhere else, hot Santa Ana winds stir things up and spark an electricity in the air.) Diaz and Winslet encounter an unexpected new love interest in Jude Law and Jack Black, respectively. Diaz and Law, by the way, have got to be .the prettiest couple in the history of cinema - even more so than the two-h~ad, ed monster known as Brangelina. If you thought Law's book-editor character, Graham; seemed too good to be true when he's first introduced, wait until you hear his back story. (Bring Kleenex.) Conveniently, he also happens to be Iris' brother, who knocks on the cottage door drunk Swulay, December 17, 2006 AP photo · In this pheto provided by Warner Bros. 'Entertainment, Iris (Kate Winslet) swaps homes for the holiday, only to meet a local guy (Jack Black) and fall in love in "The Holiday. " after a long n,i ght at the nearby pub. Black, meanwhile, is a funny sweethean of a guy as film composer Miles, which gives Black a chance to sing and do his overly familiar Tenacious D rambling, which by t~is point he seriously needs to stop. (No less. than the prolific Hans Zimmer provided the score here.) Miles, a buddy of Amanda's ex, shows up at the door one day and befriends Iris but remains smitten by his actress girlfriend (Shannyn Sossamon), who he believes is out of his league. We can see from the beginning where this relationship is headed, of course -teasing us with the possibility of it is inherent to the genre. Iris also finds an unlikely friendship with Amanda's next-door neighbor, Anhur, an. aging screenwriter played with warmth; humor and substance by Eli . 'Medium' channels paranormal psychic . ·visions with very normal working marriage BY BRIDGET BYRNE FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesdays at- I 0 p.m. EST. "When I met the real Allison and she started to tell me about her life and the way she perceived the world, I found that fascinating," says Caron. "But when she told me her husband was a scientist, it seemed to fly in the face of everything she was . saying, and I thought, 'What happens when these two people crawl into bed at night? What must that pillow talk be like?"' MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. - There's a naked hush on tbe set of "Medium." The associate director has called for everyone to be especially quiet as Patricia Arquette and jake Weber. wait for the camera to roll. . The script instructions s..llfl .. read "snuggled together in the darkened Dubois bedOily room - both of them naked ............. ' t t l beneath the covers Allison staring at the ceiling, Joe staring at Allison." . • Unlimitod Houro, No Conti'Odl "Privacy garments" are • 10 E-moil Add,..... listed as a necessity on the • FIII!E Spom day 's call sheet, but whether the stars are wearing anything like that under the sheets can't be seen. "Well, I was wearing a pasty," Weber jokes in his customary low-key style as he pads around in track suit and bedroom slippers following the scene. "They have sex and after .. they have sex they have no clothes on," Weber adds. "It's not like we are walking around in the buff. This isn't a Steven Bochco show." No, it's a Glenn Gordon Caron show. "These are things you do to make ends meet," Caron laughs, teasing that not having to provide stars with clothing in all scenes keeps the budget down. In reality. this bit of stagecraft simply reflects that natural intimacy between a married couple that Caron has always tried to depict. One of the ' factors that drew the executive producer (whose credits include "Moonlighting" and "Now and Again") to the series was that within the framework of a psychic crime drama he could paint a vividly real portrait of a working marriage. The relationship between paranormal expen Allison Dubois (Arquette), who "sees what others can't." and husband Joe (Weber) is the hean and soul of the succes'- , ful NBC series, wl1icjl ilirs 59.95,.. Wallach. · The character allows Meyers to spell out unequivocally what she's aiming for here: Arthur assigns Iris a list of movies to watch, like "The Lady Eve" · from 1941, and explains to her the "meetcute," the screenwriting 1evice that throws the main characters together in a romantic comedy. The meetings aren't the only things that are cute in "The Holiday" - at times, the film is almost sickeningly idyllic. (As Iris herself tells Arthur at one point, "I like corny. I'm looking for corny in my life.") But it can also be undeniably charming, so you may as well just check your cynicism at the door and surrender. 1525 Eastern Ave Gallipolis, OH (Next to Pizza Hut) OHIO STATE LIQUOR STOR .

Va. Leftovers will be a treasured part of the holiday season as long as Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas goose continue to headline family menus. And return fare need not be confined to the dining room. Take potted poinsettias, for example. They can be restored from dormancy to vibrant color for many celebrations to come. Poinsettias are perennials, so they don't have to be discarded with the post-holiday litter. Restoring a dormant poinsettia to color. however, is labor-intensive work. It's easier to spend $10 and change for a fresh plant than it is to re-bloom that favorite on your mantle, said Rick Schoellhorn, director of new products for Proven Winners Inc ., an international plant marketing company with offices in Alachua, Fla. "Many people when they buy a plant want to keep it as long as possible," said Schoellhom. "There's a level of persima! involvement with over-wintering and a great deal of personal pride when you succeed. Poinsettias, like any plant, can be an emotional investment. Perhaps someone gave them to you . But for the average person, it's easier not to mess with them then it is trying to keep them going for another season." · If you do decide to carry over a poinsettia, understand that the process can vary from region to region. How you would treat such a plant in California differs from what you might do with it in Ontario. But generally: Start now by extending the bloom period. Most poinsettia varieties retain their peak colors for only a couple of weeks, but their shelf life can be extended well into the New Year provided they get sdme attention. If you've decked t~e halls with potted poinsettias, place them in a warm and brightly lit spot free of drafts. Avoid direct sun. Water when the Soil feels dry but don:t overdo it.

According to Hal Kneen, Meigs County Extension Educator, about !.16,000 have been grown by four local growers thi s year. Wholesalers Ed Durst and Norris Greenhouses ship out truckloads of thousands to other areas, while Hubbards and Meadows sell mostly retail locally. Growing poinsettias is not only big business here in Meigs County, but across the country. Kneen advises Detallo on Pop A& that in Ohio last year just under 3 million plants were produced by l 04 growers, while in the whole country, more than 60 million were grown for sale by I ,5 10 2 SECTIONS - 12 PAGFS producers.
