HERBS CAN ADD FLAVOR TO YOUR HOLIDAYS
BY

DEAN FOSDICK

FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

NEW MARKET. Va .
Homegrown herbs are a natural choice for adding a special flavor to your holiday s
- evcrylhing from giving
food a boost to providing
Christmas cheer when decorating. clearing the air or personalizing gift-gi~· ing.
Stuff some sage and rosemary into the Thanksgiving
turkey. Deck the nails and
stairwells with holly and ivy.
Steam up aromatic clouds of
lavender and lemon verbena.
Put
cork on bottles of
herbal vinegars, herbal
cooking oils. h~rbal bath
salts, herbal mustards, butters or teas.
That· not only demonstrates
the depth of your culinary
creativity but it also trims the
price of your presents.
"It depends upon whom
you talk to, but herbs are generally defined as any plant
that has a use by humans
other than (providing) food
or fiber," said Scott Aker, unit
leader, gardens, with the U.S.
National
Arboretum
in
Washington. 'They have
medicinal uses, industrial
uses, culinary uses, decorative uses.' '
Many herbs also have religious and holiday signifi "
cance.
"Roses·, for example," Aker
said. "Their petals once were
commonly used for making
rosary beads. It 's a laborious
process."
The Druids of ancient
Britain cherished holly for
its permanence. The deep
green of its leaves persist
even through the coldest and
darkest days of winter. ·
Others valued holly for its
decorative aspects whi le

a

so me atlached Christian
symbolism to th e tree 's
berries and blossoms.
Ivy symbolizes fri endship
while rosemary is calleu the
herb of remembrance.
"Lcg~nd has it the Virgin
Mary and Jose ph when fleeing Egypt stopped in the
desert under a rosemary
bush."' said James Blythe,
who owns 'and operates the
Golden Owl Herb Farm at
Sumerduck, Va. "Mary put
her· blue cloak over the bush .
to dry and lhe color of its ·
flowers changed forever from
white to blue."
Herbs can be annual,
perennial or woody. They
have been used to augment
flavors, add aromas and pro' ide colors since the days of
the Egyptian pharaohs, yet
they seem to have fallen from
favor in this country - at
least until recently.
"People now can go into
the supermarket and buy
whole plants that are packaged," ·said Aker. "A few
years ago, it was just dried
herbs. Beyond parsley, you
couldn't fond anything fresh.
Families ure cooking healthi-

mary, prefer being transplanted from pots or cuttings.
Many herbs are winter
hardy and will continue
growing after weathering a
few hard frosts. That includes
oregano. ·sage and rosemary,
among others . That trait also
makes them strong candi dates for holiday ttse .
Some, like basil, sweet bay
and scented geraniums,
require attention if they are to
be of any use Juring the cold
month s. You can dry them or
freeze them for later. Tie the
plants into compact bundles
and hang them tlpside down .
Or grind some of the culinary
varieties into a coarse powder
for usc in shakers by the
stove. Think thyme, rosemary, mint, oregano and
sage, among others.
You also can bring some
potted herbs inside to winter
over. Monitor temperatures,
however, when making them
over into houseplants.
"There are two key words
here : cool and bright," Aker
said. "If you have an unheated suoroom, that's perfect.
Most herbs like full sun but
cool nights. They also want
e~··
. to be
little dry between
waterings"
.

Lower your water heater
temperature: According to
the Department of Energy. a
temperature of 120 degrees
at the tap is adequate for
most household chores with
a minimal danger of scalding and maximum energy
efficiency.
.
However, that is the temperature anhe tap, not in the
tank. · Tank · temperature
should be not be less than
130 degrees to prevent bacte'
rial growth that can lead to
illnesses. The only appliance
that requires hotter water is
the dishwasher, with a recommended temperature of
140 degrees or higher for
proper disinfection and
cleaning.
Since . most dishwashers
pre-heat the water to the proper temperature, · lowering the
setting of your water heater
will have no effect. However,
if you have turned the preheating function of your dishwasher off, you should tum it
back on. Alternatively, it may
be time to retire your old gasguzzlinl;\ water heater and
replace tl with a new tank less
water heater. A tankless water
heater will cost more to purchase and install than a traditional tank type unit, but in
the long run will save lots of
energy and add immeasurably
to comfort and convenience.
Use your washer and dryer
at night: Many utility compa'.

Depending on where you live your home heating costs are expected
to rise this winter and that could make it even tougher on those
already struggling to make ends meet.

POINT PLEASANT More students and moJe clas&gt;es means there is a need h1r
more room at the Marshall
University Mid-Ohio Valley
Center in Point Pleasant.
And on Tuesday, the center
will be one step closer to taking care of that need as ground
is broken for the center's
expansion, which will include
new labs and student lounges.
The groundbreaking. scheduled to begin at II a.m. tomorrow is an event about which
officials at the center- are
extremely excited; including
MOYC Director Homer
Preece.
"This expansion is w.ay overdue. When we moved intn the
bui lding. we kn ew it was way
too small," he said, adding that
the center has gained students
· nearly every .emester in its 11 year hi story and should have
been ·expanded five years ago.
He suid new Jabs. including
state-of-the-art biology. chemistry and nursing labs. lounges
and storage are among the
highlights of the ex pansion,
which will be added to th e
buck of the building. The
. expansion does mean the loss
of 28 parking spaces behind
the center. but Preece said 50
new spaces will be added to
the newer parking lot IJC &gt;ide
the building.
In addition to adJing more
space. Preece said this ex pansion will help the ce nter better
cater to its students.
"This brings 10 the forefront

the opJJ011tmity .for (students)
to tak,e the upper-level chemistry and biology classes.'' he
said, adding that students now
will be able to -take chemistry
and physics at the center mther
than having to use labs and
equipment at Point Pleasant
High School or travel to
Huntington.
He added that 'everyone will
be welcome at the ceremony,
and a host of people have been
invited,
including
Corigresswoman
Shelley

University President Dr.
Stephen J. Kopp. several vice
presidents of the university,
elected legislative officials, and
state senators and delegates.
Located on Sand Hill Road,
the center tlrst opened its doors

Blizzards, accidents slow holiday travel
DENVER (AP) - The trip
home after Thanksgiving was
slow going for many travelers
Sunday as blizzard conditions

"It was an hour and a
half of climbing and five
minutes of work," he said.
Shirley Hall, his boss at
Hall Electronics, said she
is fascinated by Price's
climbing stories. His tales
include dea ling with falcons, high winds and rain.
"It 's interesting and scary
at the same time," she said.
Price said he takes precautions and always puts
safety first. For y~ars , he
did it all on his own. Now
he has an assistant.
He wears a harness, takes

" He doesn 't do anything

But with all hi s preparation, he doesn' t seem con cerned about what · might
be an important item - his

example, he wore sneakers.
" I don ' t think about

Father knows best
As many of you know, my
father and I inhabit different
ends of the political spectrum. I have found my geographic and ideological
home in the liberal San
Francisco Bay Area. He is a
lifelong Republican who
loved Agnew and was not
among the early waves of
supporters for civil -rights
and women's rights (he came
around). He is one of those
hardscrabble men from the
Irish parishes of the . Bronx
who Served in Korea, supported a wife and six children on his own sweat, never
got a handout and never
sought one. To him,
Democrats were the ivorytown elites who took increasing chunks of his paycheck
to support the lazy and the
irresponsible.
I wrote two columns last
year about his views of
President Bush. My father
has been something of a
political touchstone for me,
providing a glimpse of the
country beyond the rainbow
flags and peace marches of
San Franctsco, or at least a
glimpse of those parts populated by church-going, middle-class conservatives. In
the summer of 2004. to my
great surprise, he was so dis. illusioned with how Bush
had run up the debt and mis. managed the war that he said
he would not be voting
Republican for the first time
in his life.
Three months later, I wrote
a follow-up. He had decided
to vote for Bush after all.
"It's terrible that in this
country of so many good
people," my father had
explained, "how an election
can come down to the lesser
of two evils. You have to
vote this time for who will do
the least harm. Not the most
. good, but the least harm."
·-·' ~J .....

,•

.. .. .

"

"Why . wouldn't
the
Republicans keep going.with
that? Instead we got tax cuts
and the war in Iraq. Who's
going to pay for all that? It's
just irresponsible. I never
thought he was the brightest
guy in the world, but to go
from a .$300 billion surplus
to a $500 billion deficit, or
whatever it is, that's just stupt'd ." .
He doesn't blame Bush for
believing Saddam Hussein
had weapons of mass
destruction, but he says the
mismanagement in the aftermath of his capture is thind~ggling.
Nearly 2, I00
Americans have been killed
and more than 15,000 seriously injured. And my family now has a personal stake
in the wru;: His grandsonmy sister Barbara's son - is
serving in the Marines near
Fallujab.
"If something happens to
him, what will it be for?
(Bush) thought we'd go in
and - voila! - we'd get
democracy. If he just read a
book about the United States
trying to get its, democracy
he'd know it just doesn't
happen overnight."
Hurricane Katrina sealed
the deal for my father. As
someone who has weathered
many hurricanes in Florida.
he watched the president's
response to the devastation
with increasing horror and
bafflement.
' 'This guy's slow and he's
dimwitted," . he said . "He
said. 'I'm going to let
Louisiana take care of itself.'
You got that woman governor who doesn 't know her
ass from third base. You got
hi s friend at the head of
FEMA and the mayor of
New Orleans . who didn ' t
know anything . You had
Larry, Moe and Curly in
there, and he's just waiting.

I won't be with my family
in
Florida
for
the
Thanksgiving holiday this
year. I will miss my father
serving up his political views
along with the turkey and
creamed oitions. So I caught
up with him by phone the
other day as he was heading
out to Mass. I asked what he
was thinking about Bush
now, a year after his re-election.
He regrets changing his
mind about voting for him,
he said.
·
"The guy's stupid," he
said. "Such a disappointment. The worst administration I've . ever seen. He just
sounds confused. He doesn't
sound like he knows what
the hell he's doing."
I joked that maybe the
rumors are true that Bush
started drinking again.
"I think a lot of people
started drinking again," my
father said. "Why should he
be any different?"
As we spoke, his voice
rose in volume and intensity
in that way it did whenever
one of us kids did something
·. particularly moronic (like,
for example, when my sister
and I wanted to find out if
ki_tchen scissors could cut a
pearl in half and sent the
entire strand bouncing like
tiny rubber balls across my
parents' bedroom floor).
"I don't think . people,
myself included, were clear
on how good Clinton was
with the money," he said .

"She was really scared she

At a hearing Nov. 8, Hicks'

clemency.

said. "I know my brother

The Parole Board recommended that Gov. Bob Taft
not grant clemency.

pa1r of mtercepttons that put
Cmcmnat1 m control 34-0 m
the th1rd quarter At that
pomt, Boller was 4-of-15 for
37 yards, and the Ravens
hadn't crossed the Bengals'

"We stuck to our plan,"
sa1d Boller, who fm1shed 18of-32 for 211 yards w1th three
touchdowns "I settled down
a little We' re down 34-0, so
what's there to wo':l' about?"
Houshmandzadeh s fumble

In the year ahead. a new market tor your

able to use your talents and !J)(periences

the ticket you 'vs bsen waiting lor.
SAGITTA RIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec . 2 1) Whatever yo u do. do nol pass on information about another if you are uncertain of
the story or lhe facts. Uni nten tionally, you
could deeply hurt th is person , who doesn't
deserve II.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Today,
out ol we akness, you may once again
wa,ste money on !rivololJS items or ac tivi·
ties that you promised yourse lf you would
never repeat Try to lind the' strength to
stick to your resolve.
AQUA RIU S (Jan. 20-Feb: 19)- There's
something you've had your hea rt set on,
but apparenlly nol strong ly enough. Today.
it looks like you 'll be unwilling to make the
nec essary sacrifices required to attain it
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Don't
stoop to using Coy or cleve r methods today
in order to get othe rs to do your biddin·g .
Even il they succumb lo your craltihess,
the res ults will be hollow and meaningless.
ARIES (Ma rch 21·April 19) - There is a
b1g difference between pipe-dreaming and
being a visionary. Take care today to know
the difference and not confuse the two.
Leave wishful thinking out ol your com-

Big Ben eager to face Manning
BY MICHAEL MAROT
ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS ~ When
Ben Roethlisberger visits the
RCA Dome for the tirst time
Monday night, he ' ll sec
,Peyton Manning and try to
steal a few tips.
It' ll be one of the few times
in Roethlisberger 's I 1/2 NFL
seasons he's played the role
of fan .
''I'm excited to watch
Peyton in person. I think it
will be fun ,'' Roethlisberger
said.
How much Roethlisberger
enjoys the show .will depend
ori three things ~ how well
he plays after mi'5ing three
games, how weH Manning
performs and whether the
Steelers (7-3) can become the
first team to knock off the
unbeaten Indianapolis Colts
(10-0).

l

For the second straight
week, the Colts will get an
up-close look at one of the
league's emerging stars. Last
week, Bengals quarterback
Carson Palmer shredded the
Colts' defense for 338 yards
and two touchdowns ~ ami
they don' t want a repeat.
Meanwhile. the Colts
otfense seem&gt; nearly unstoppable.
Manning has regained his
two-time MVP form. He '&gt;
topped 300 yards in two of
the last three games, thrown
18 touchdowns in the last
seven ·games and rapidly has
' ascended the league-leading
charts in both touchdown

pa.,ses and passer rating.
The Colts also have the
AFC's top rusher in Edgerrin
James ( 1.116 yards). two of
the top three receivers and
have scored at least 31 points
in five straight games.
That kind of product ion
worries Pittsburgh coach Bill
Cowher. a defensive mastermind .
Roethlisberger has spent
the past month eagerly awaiting this chance.
He hasn't played since the
Stcclcrs' last Monday night
appearance, a 20-19 victory
over Baltimore on Oct. 31 .
After knee surgery on Nov. 3,
Cowher
held
out
Rocthlisberger for three
games and there was a noticeable difterence in the Steelers.
Pittsburgh struggled to win
at Green Bay, then lost In-13
in overtitlle at Baltimore last
weekend. snapping a · franchi se-record 11 -game road
winning streak.
Roelhlisberger has ~n 18-1
regular-season record as a
starter and has lost only two
games in his career ~ both to
New England. ·
He figures it wi II take some
time Monday to gel reacquainted to game speed,
although the Steelers can't
afford to wait long. Pittsburgh
needs a victory to stay in contention for . the AFC North
title and a tirst-round bye in
the rlayolfs, and it hasn'tlost
two stra ight since the middle
oi the 2003 season.
"We have to approach it
like it 's the biggest game of

the year, because that's what
it's goin!; to take to beat a
team ltke Indianapolis,"
Roethl is berger said.
The Colts are prepared for a
steady mix of running by
speedster Willie Parker and
power bucks Duce Staley and
Jerome Bet.tis. who have been
slowed much of the season by
injurie s, and Pittsburgh's
zone blitzes.
James will face the league's
No. 3 run defense. an intriguing matchup that could force
Manning lo .do more work.
Manning lost -28-10 at
Pittsburgh in 2002, his only
previous game against the
Steelers. Pittsburgh. Arizona
and Carolina are the only
teams Manning has not beaten in his eight-year NFL
career.

CLEVELAND ~ In the

the

to make a big shot. Instead,
they_got two of each.

Garnett's crucial basket with
56.9 second s remaimng .
'That's in our playbook, and·
we executed it perfectly."
LeBron James scored a
season-high 38 points, but
the Cavs shot only 32 percent
and lost for the first time in
seven games at home . Drew
Gooden had 12 points and 12
rebounds .for Cleveland,
which has dropped two
straight following an eightgame winning streak.
Garnett scored 26 points
and Troy Hudson 18 ~all in
the second half ~ for the
Timberwolves, who came in
0-4 away from home. Wally
Szczerbiak added 16 points
and Eddie Griffin had 12
rebounds for Minnesota.
"It feels really good to get
that off our back," Griffin
said of finally getting a road
victory. "Now we can j ust go
play."
James didn't gel much help
from his teammates, as Larry
Hughes (3-for-16), Zydrunas
llgauskas (2-for- 10) Don yell
Marshall (0-for-9), and
Damon Jones (0-for-6) ~ a
free-agent foursome that cost
the Cavs $151 million in
contracts this summer ~
shot a combined 5-for-41 and
scored 22 points.
"We missed shot after shot
after shot, wide open shots,"
James said. "There are going
to be nights like that."
Still, the score was tied at
82 when Garnett took an
inbounds pass off a designed
play with 2 seconds left on
the 24-second clock. He
casually stepped back and
dropped a h1gh-arcing 21 foot JUmper over Gooden.
"I ~ust knew the play all the
way. ' Garnett said. "I got it
up with some extra loft on it.
It was an easy shot."

three alternatives for the
project. ODOT's prop o~&lt;cd
