The Commerce Department said the record drop in retail sales followed a 6.4 percent upward surge in October, also a record. That big increase was caused by a huge jump in auto sales as Americans responded eagerly to the free financing offers that deale-rs used to get shoppers back into showrooms following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In more positive news Thursday, the Labor Department reported that the number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell by 86,000 last week. It was me biggest decline in weekly jobless claims in nine yean and provided reason to hope that the huge wave of layoffi that oeo:urred following the terrorist attacks may be abating. The big decline left total new claims at 394,000 last week. The country's first recession in a decade is keeping a lid on inflation. A third report sh~ed that wholesale prices fell for a second consecutive month, dropping 0.6 percent in November atier a bigger 1.6 percent plunge in October. The November decline was led by another big drop in energy prices, which offiet rising prices for autos and toba€co .

The retail sales repon showed that auto sales, which had surged 24.2 percent in October, fell 11.9 percent in November. Even without the wide swing in auto sales, retail sales would have been weak last month, dropping by 0.5 percent following a 0.8 percent rise excluding autos in October. Some analysts said the retail sales report was not as dismal as the overall decline would indicate. They noted that auto sales were expected to fall back atier a .record-setting month in October and some of the other weakness reflected price declines for gasoline, rather than falling sales. aves takes on The Mothman cometh, Cl Retail sales plunged a record 3.7 percent INSIDE SPORTS ai-Qaida starts Rose Hill, 81 to crumble, A8 • ., tmts NeVJSmaker s1.25 FREAKY FRIDAY Access road nea rea .

"These toys are better than any you can buy;• said Capt. Roy Williams of the Charleston Salvation Army. "They are made from scratch. The men take a lot of pride in them. They can last lifetimes. They can become heirlooms." The toys include handcrafted blocks made of walnut nestled inside maple wagons, rocking horses, rocking chairs, cradles, trucks, trains, cars, planes, jeeps, tanks, helicopters and other items.

That's not surprising since nationally, donations have been less due to the massive response effort to September's terrorist attack. · What's sad, though, is that this kind of news is surfacing during the holiday period, when t)te need, as one of the characters in the early portion ofDickens"'A Christmas Carol" observes, is most keenly felt. It's often said chariry begins at home, and dris is true of local campaigns to ensure that no one is lacking or suffering during one of the most joyous times of the year. There is little that comp~ to the desolation of being alone or hungry during a time when plenty seems available to everyone. Volunteers, all of them people you know or can call a . neighbor, donate their time to making those in need either have a hot meal, clothes, toys for their children. This is an expression of the best in people, and as a nation blessed with plenty of material resources, a demonstration that we're willing to share our bounty with the less fortunate. This area has come through in the past, and will continue to do so. We understand economic conditions are less palmy than they ~re. but even the donation of canned food or old but good clothing to the effort makes a difference. We encourage tri-counry residents to seek tlut the charitable programs in their conununitics and give what they can. At a time when national unity counts (or a lot, it can be one of the most patriotic things we can do by ensuring everyone is safe and healthy, especially now, when those things take on a bigger meaning.

I spoke of how the Christmas tree and Santa Claus are both symbols of the Christian faith and of our constitutional rights to display them on public property in the free exercise of religion. I add, all faiths have this constitutional right. Then one of the ciry commissionen informed me that the street sweeper had a cross on his sweeper truck, and the city removed it because a person callc;d in and complained that it bothered him. When is this going to stop? When are we citizens going to stand up to this kind of harassment and stop caving in to someone who is bothered by our faith and the expression of it, not only guaranteed by the constitution, but the freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights? What if he had a sticker on his sweeper that said "Go Bucks"? As a 'Iexas Aggie, it bothers me. Does that mean ifl complain, that he has to take it of!? I jest, but see my point? If he had had an obscene sign or, imagine, many other derogatory symbols, the ACLU would have been right there to defend him if he had resisted. How ridiculous it is that the ACLU led the movement to take the cross off of the Vinton County Courthouse, but defend the right of the KKK to put their cross on the Cincinnati Public Square. If I were Vinton Counry and Gallipolis, I would invite all faith groups to display their symbols of faith on their building and street sweepers, showing no partiality to any faith group; and I would certainly defend the right of anyone to express their belief. The city employee is simply saying what he believes, he is not advocating or imposing his belief on anyone. He has the same right to do this, as we have to have a Christmas · tree, nativity and Santa Claus in the Gal. lipolis Park. Ate we going to do away with Santa Claus and Christmas trees because they bother someone? · In my Christian life, 38 years of it being employed in some way as a "professional" in the faith, I have never apologized for my Chri!tian faith, or intentionally compromised it. I have ministered to and with people of all varieties of Christianity, Jews, Moslems, Hindu, Nativ~ American religions (incidentally, an Irishman in Bosnia of this faith), and who knows whoeve~ else. I have had good relationships with agnostics and atheists. To my knowledge, and I have inquired, I have never offended any of them. . The people who are offended are the avid non-i)elievers who want to force their own attitudes of non.belief on others, and I guess, really cannot ,cand the joy and peace we believers receive from our faith. .

Devils Br DAN AIIICIIII OVP SPORTS STAFF ASHTON, W.Va.- Fighting for 31 minutes of play, the Hannan Wildcau were neckand-neck with Van during mrdcourt action Friday night, but the Bulldogs pulled out all stops in the final minute and ran away with the win, 55-51. "I can't complain at all about tonight's game or performance," Hannan coach Wayne Richardson said. "This week I've seen these guys start working together as a team, improve their play, and put a lot more points on the scoreboard, so I'm very pleased tonight despite the loss." The final minute of play saw Van's Nick Bias hit three-of-four charity stripe throws resulting from the aggressive defense of Hannan. Bias finished with 11 points for the night. Van's Elijah Harper led all players with 21 points, including 4-6 from the line and three three-pointers. Hannan's Jason Powell led the Wildcats with 17 points, three of his also being threepoint shots. "I think the main thing that I have seen tonight is that these guys have gained a lot of confidence in themselves," Richardson said. · "They are beginning to hit their spots on the ·floor where they are supposed to and making these plays that we've worked on come to life." Still absent from the hardcourt was Hannan's Greg Collins, suffering from torn ankle ligaments. From the bench Collins said the ankle is beginning to feel better and the swelling has gone down some; however, Richardson said they are looking at at least three weeks on the bench for the sophomore. "I think part of the problem we had (against Wahama) was that the guys were used to Collins lealling the ·plays and putting things in motion," Richardson said, "but I think they're going to make the temporary adjustment and do much better. We're definitely beginning to see th<lt light at the end of the tunnel." Overall, Hannan was 9-of-20 from the field during the first half of play to Van's 11-of-40. The second half saw Hannan at 12-of-28 with the Bulldogs a.t 8-of-27. The first quarter saw neck-and-neck action, with Van hitting. the net .for l2 points behind three:point shots from Harper and Kyle Estep, while Bias also h<ld two from the field and weqt 2-of-3 from the charity stripe. HanlJan, finishing the lint quarter with 11, saw senior Bruno Barros find the net for four points, while Powell hit the first of his threepointers. Barros finished the game just behind Powell with fourteen points. The second quarter saw close action again as Van jumped to a small lead, 30-22.

The Vikings have played in the postseason in eight of nine seasons and are the only team in the league that has been in the playoff's the past five years. To have a chance to keep that run alive, they will have to finish with wins at Detroit, against Jacksonville at home and then at Green Bay and Baltimore.

In the first game, Stewart was 22-fur-37 for 236 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. "Kordell is definitely the key to the game;' Siragusa said. "If we can stop him and all the trick stuff' !hey do, we'll be fine. We're expecting maybe Bill Cowher to come out there and run a few plays."

' • WEST MILLGROVE (AP) -On some of the best days Ralph Reinhart has spent bow hunting for deer, he never even lifted his bow to take a shot. For Reinhart and many of the more than 155,000 Ohio hunters who choose to pursue deer with a bow, success is not measured by the amount of ""nison they bring home. They don't work with quotaS or someone elses expectations. There is no sense of urgency and therein lies a lot of the charm of this centuries-old hunting technique. "Hunting with a bow and arrow is a very old and simple way to pursue game, but a very difficult method, said Reinhart, a retired auto worker who lives in .rural Wood County. "You have to blend in with the surroundings and get very dose to a deer to have a safe shot. It presents a tremendous challenge. and success is not something you experience every day- far fiom it.You take pleasure in time spent in the woods, and in the chase, since it is man against a very clever animal:' too:' method, too. " !Wph-..11,- 0hio's bow-hunting season opens in =ly October and runs through the end of January. 'Bow hunters ltiUed 34,340 deer last -pi fiom an estimated herd of 500,000. Many bow hunters spend 100 or more hours in the field each year, content to patiently await those rare opportunities when a deer might get within I 5 to 20 yards for a clean, safe shot. Ron Kozina, who lives in Millbury near Toledo, has hunted in Ohio with a bow for more than 35 years, and now concentra.tes ·his efforts on the rolling hills of the Wayne National Forest area in southeast Ohio. · "Several seasons have gone by without me shooting a single arrow, but I don't have a problem with that," Kozina said. "When you hunt with a bow you have to be ready at all times, but you also have to be aware of the fact that nature doesn't always follow the ·o·oe11·s CaseD W.R.CASE&Soq C~TURYCo.

Three steps later, an eight-point buck jumped up and moved toward the trees. Once in the woods, Brinker used the tools of bow hunters to a:y and get another look at that eight-pointer. He rattled two pieces of ander together, recreating the sound of a territorial battle, and puffed on a call truit mimics the grunts and snorts of a buck protecting his harem. A while later, a doe was lured dose by the sounds, and what follo""d her was a 20-point monster of a buck that field dressed at 230 pounds after Brinker put an arrow in it broadside fiom 22 yards away "The quiet, the closeness, the challenge, it brings you back to the way people hunted for centuries;• Brinker said. "You have to be able to observe everything around you.You have to be able to replicate the sounds deer make to attract them close enough, and you have to be able to maintain your cool and presence of mind when a deer is so dose, you can hear them breathing." Many bow hunters prefer the soli- cary nature of the sport. Gun hunters often work in groups and attempt to push or drive deer, but bow hunters go it alone and like it that way. "When you are sitting in the woo<ls in a tree stand, you are always working. You don't have someone running detr in on you;• Reinhart said. "You are trying to become part of the woods, and that is not easy The more time you spend out there, the more you figure out how deer mOYe, how they act, and how they react to their surroundings. If you aren't const=tly learning. you aren't paying attention." · Bow hunters extensively scout before the season opens and set their ·stands in areas where they have observed deer activity They will often use places where trails converge or deer enter the wood< fiom feeding areas to set up a st=d. "If you don't oo your homework, don't expect to ever take a deer with a bow;• Kozina said. "Putting an arrow on target is just a small part of the total challenge. Getting dose enough to have a good shot is so tough.The hunt itself is' the challenge. If you happen to get a deer, then that is just icing on the cake." Indians acquire Gutierrez from cubs ST.

The Indians have been shopping for a second baseman since trading Alomar in . an eight-player deal Tuesday. Gutierrez, 31, last played second base in 1997, when rules.There is a high degree of unpredictability involved, since a bow hunter has to be so close, so quiet, and basically become part of tl)e surroundings.

"For me, I much prefer bow hunting for that reason, the high degree of difficulty," Kozina said. A trophy deer taken with a bow and arrow comes anything but easily.

HOI vegas, crime pay for 'CSI' series creator LOS ANGELES (AP) - Anthony Zuiktr, creator of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation;· may not have suffered for his art. But he'• been really, really scared in its service. NEW VIEW - Yarko, 13, an Israeli boy, and Faraj, 14, a Palestinian, meet for the first time during filming of "Promises • outside Jerusalem in 1998. The charming and heartbreaking documentary will air on PBS stations at 9 p.m., EST, Thursday, Dec. 13. 2001, as part of the "P.O. V. • series. (AP Photo/PBS, Meagan Lar!J Shapiro) Film takes children 5 eyeview of Middle East conflict I LOS ANGELES (AP) Two boys - one Israeli, one Palestinian, both clearly imps - meet on a Jerusalem street and break the ice by engaging in a burping. contest. Giggle< .Jensue. The scene in "Promises" is at once charming and heartbreaking, making clear how narrow the gUlf between these childien of conflict could be while reminding us how wide it is. Airing on PBS, the documentary is a compassionate, even-handed look at the lives of Middle Eastern children shaped by their region's anguish. It puts a young and vulnerable face on IsraeliPalestinian violence that, even in an America now touched by its own sudden violence, can seem distant and imper-i;onal. Meet the appealing,-articulate Faraj, a Palestinian trapped in a ·refugee camp, or the equally handsome and. candid :Israeli twins Yarko and Daniel, · and try to be detached or dismissive or cling to stereotypes. These youngsters are trying to make sense of their tortured world, even if it seems adults cannot. "You're dogmatic. You have to understand their thinking;' one Palestinian boy says to another who is reluctant to 'befriend lstaeli children. "You . have to understand their thinking, then respond." ' High-level politics and policy are not the point here. Fihnmakers Justine Shapiro, B.Z. Goldberg and Carlos Bolado wanted to hear what children had to say about war and see how it affects them. They began work on the '1>roject in the mid-1990s, during the relative calm following the Oslo peace accord. The current, dispiriting wave of violence is not included in the film, which airs as part of PBS' "P.O.V:" nonfiction series (9 p.m. EST Thursday; check local listings). It's encouraging to see the youngsters in "Promises" try 1o think independently. It's disheartening to see how heavily the fights and fears of parents and grandparents weigh on them. Anger and bitterness are passed along like family heirlooms, bestowed like the house key that Faraj is given by his grandmother. The house itself was destroyed in the 1948 establishment of Israel. In an interview, Shapiro said she was prompted to consider a children 's-eyeview film by a personal encounter with prejudice. In 1995, while visiting with young cousins in Israel, "I very naively asked if any of them had Palestinian friends. They looked at me like I was from another planet. They thought it was the most insane question. "And when I asked if any of them or their friends had Palestinian boyfriends, they looked like they were going to be sick;' dismissing Palestini- ans as "terrorists" who can't be trusted, she said. Shapiro, host of the traveladventure series "Lon!'if Planet" on Discovery Channel, talked with Goldberg about working together on a documentary. Goldberg had reservations. "I had a sense that it would be a big undertaking and i~ would be painful;' said Goldberg, who grew up in Israel. "It would mean inunersing ourselves in something that is full of suffering and very intransigent." "As lstaelis, we have survival mechanismS, and the mechanisms include fixed opinions about the conflict and the Palestinians," he added. "I knew if we made this film that I.would have to change." The filmmakers shot footage of the children between 1997 and summer 2000, paying separate visits to Palestinians and Israelis. They did not intend to bring them together, feeling it would seem contrived. But curiosity got the better of some of the children and they pressed for a chance to meet. Goldberg and Shapiro agreed: With their parena' reluctant permissioh, twins Yarko and Daniel took a short but unfamiliar drive to the Deheishe refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. "We let them run the day," Shapiro said. The Palestinian kids organized both work and play, showing their visitors sites of clashes and bullet-riddled walls before stopping for lunch and conversation.

SANTA WILL BE ARRIVING ON (AP) - Kiss someone under the mistletoe and you're doing what the Druids did centuries ago. That's all that remains from the many mistletoe legends ofEuropean peoples of centuries ago. A sprig of mistletoe wasn't always so innocent. Mistletoe was regarded by the anci~na as having supernatural powers, sometimes good and sometimes evil. Two thousand years ago, mistletoe was known by some as a beneficial medicinal herb. In Scandinavian mythology, however, mistletoe was responsible for the destruction of the sun god Baldur the Beautiful. Mistletoe is only a small wisp of a plant, so why would the ancients credit it with such awesoine powers as healing or overpowering gods? The reason is because mistletoes are capable of killing large trees, even the massive oaks venerated by the Druids. Mistletoes are parasitic --\>!ants. They nestle into the branches of host trees, then penetrate the bark to sap nutrients and water. This weakens and, in some cases, · kills the tree. As the ancients gazed up into tree branches, they recognized that the tufts of mistletoe, though intimately associated with the tree, were nonetheless different loothe your body.

Our word "mistletoe" is a cleriv2tion of the Saxon word "mistl-tan;' meaning "dift'erent twig." European legends were based on their native mi!l:letoe, known as true mistletoe. As the Ameri~ were colonized, European customs were carried across the Atlantic and applied to one of the native mistletoe!, called Christmas mi!l:letoe or true American mDdetoe. Christmas mistletoe is relativdy rare, occurring in isolated pockets south of New Jeney, and then west to New Mexico. It lives on junipers and deciduous· trees, but usU311y is not lifethreatening to the host tree. In fact, Christmas mistletoe could be considered an agri~ultural crop, as it suppom· a Christtnastime industry. Not all native American misdetoes are · innocuous. Another species, dwarf mistletoe, can devastate whole stands of forest trees. Notice the white berries of mistletoe. Within the berries are sticky seeds, just right for sticking to the bark cif a. tree. Birds and other animals carry the seeds from tree to tree. In the case of dwarf mistletoe, the ripe seeds are shot out of the berries, often as far as 50 feet.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' real legacy was words. So said Onassis' daughter, Caroline Kennedy, during a reading Wednesday from her new bo!>k, "The- Best-Loved Poems of ·Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis." ·" She really did believe in the power of words," Kennedy told 120 listeners, many of them junior high and high school students, at the Countee Cullen Regional Library in Harlem.

Camera: Mom, too, can be the official photographer (AP) I'm the official photographer in my family. Buf my wife, Susan, is quickly becoming a shutterbug, due in part to the good results she gets with her point-and-shoot digital camera. Susan is not the only mom I know who is having fun with her camera. It seems more · and more moms are sharing the title of official family photographer with dad. Recently, I met a gifted mom, Lisa Bearnson, who has made it a point to turn her snapshots into great shots. Bearnson is founding editor of Creating Keepsakes, a scrapbook magazine, and author of" Mom's Little Book of Photo Tips." In her book, Bearnson offen advice for almost every scenario that moms encounter when photographing their kids - from playtime to the first day of school. Bearnson uses simple terms to explain t~e technical aspects of photography in a way any mom can understand. She wrote the · book with the idea that most readers will be using point-andshoot cameras, but the techniques can be applied to SLR (single lens reflex) cameras, as well. "Women are very practical photographers," says Beamson. "They want to capture the moment, the emotion. When they're taking pictures of their kids, they're just not interested in messing around with complicated equipment. They simply want to get the shot." Here are a few of Beamson's tips from her book that I think moms will find useful : • Use natural light indoors . In most cases, natural light photos are more pleasing than flash photos because the light is softer on the subject. Try to use window light as your main light source. To take indoor natural light pictures, use an ISO 400 or 800 fUm Qr set your digital camera to the highest ISO setting. When you use black-and-white film , and when you set your digital camera to the black-andwhite mode, you don't have to worry about getting a picture with poor color, which can happen when you mix natural light with the light from household !ight bulbs. • Document a pastime. Document the hours a child spends engaged in a favorite activity by taking candid shots of the child involved in his or · her hobby. Take dose-ups and wide-angle pictures of your child. Also take a close-up of a favorite toy (which might be fun for the child to see in future years). 411i Jockoon Plko, Sullo D .. • St. Louis Catholic Church 85 State Street Gallipolis~ Ohio Rectory (740) 4'16·0669 The replica of St. Louis Catholic Church is now available.
