(AP) - It's not just a case of nostalgia distorting one's childhood memories - for many Americans, white Chrisrmases reaDy were more common back when they were kids. A study of four decades of Dec. 25 statistics in 16 U.S. cities found that Christmas Day snows of at least an inch have declined since the 1960s. Altogether, the number of white Christmases per decade dropped fiom 78 in the 1960s to 39 in the 1990s, according to researchers at the Oak 'Ridge National Laboratory. Oak Ridge meteorologist Dale Kaiser said the findings confirm what many people probably suspected. "If we think back to Christmas mornings through our lives, I wouldn't be surprised ·if a lot ofus. didn't say, 'Gee, I don't remember white Christmases since I was a kid,"' Kaiser said. "Yes, we are experiencing fewer white Christmases than we did 40 years ago." , Kaiser, who ordinarily spends his . time studYing climate- ·change ov~r the United States, Russia and China, cautioned against reading too much into .the survey. He said global warming might be a factor, but 'the survey did not look for causes or consider longer-term trends.

The Common Pleas Court jury on Oct. 16 convicted former county deputy coroner Dr. Jonathan Tobias, 31, of two counts of abuse of a corpse and photographer Thomas Condon, 29 of eight counts of abuse of a corpse.

From the time Lilly was diagnosed at 18 months, she underwent fuur surgeries, was anesthetizal 29 times and had nine months of chemotherapy. "Th~ tumors had entwined her spine, so doctors didn't want to do too much surgery for fear they might paralyze Lilly.

Mlmy businesses and property owners will no longer be insured against terrorist attacks on that date. That's because companies that reinsure property and casualty insurers - allowing the insurers to lay off some of their risks- have announced they will no longer provide terrorism coverage. Some 70 percent of those reinsurance policies expire at year's end. Without coverage, banks won't lend money to big new real estate projects and owners of everything from hotels to shopping malls to factories will find themselves exposed. This is no small thing. This is a risk of economic paralysis .... The solution is for the federal government to act temporarily as insurer of last resort for losses from terrorism. The insurance industry should be responsible for damages from terrorist attacks up to a defined amount for a temporary period. Beyond that amount, the government should step in and assume liability.... The government is being asked to manage a crisis, not to bail out an industry. That's what should guide the deci. sion-rnaking. . But it's time to .make a decision. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Dec. 23, the 357th day of 2001.

It has been confirmed that the anthrax is U.S weapons grade -. America's finest.

Val Rahamut, RN Rio Grande Area Inspiring program Dear Editor: Earlier this month I attended the Ch.ristmas program at Carleton School and was very impressed by the inspired hard work the teachers, helpers and children put forth to entertain us in the audience. A well practiced, well planned program was enjoyed by all. The children and young adu)ts knew their parts and places. They knew the songs in sign language, and those who could not sign due to physical diffi.cultics, the teachers stood behind them to help. · I could see that the teachers and helpers, as well as the parents, were proud of these children. The love, care and concern surfaced as the teachers and helpers guided these wonderful children and young adults through the program. Where were our Meigs County leaders? How will levies ever be passed for the school if our leaders' presence and support is not shown? Our county will never be blessed when we, the taxpayers, keep refusing to pass levies needed to help children and young adults with developmental disabilities. There . is hope, help, and training at Carleton School for children and young adults that most of Meigs County does not know about.

"Some people may have gotten rich off of it, but none that I know . of," he said.

It was "one of the most extraordinary sessions of Congress," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. The first year of the I 07th Congress saw lawmakers give the new president several important victories: They agreed to a 10-year,' S1.35 trillion taX cut - the biggest in two decades and in the final days passed a major education bill giving schools incentives to improve achievement. Congress responded tQ the Sept. ll terrorist attacks with an unprecedented level of unity. Within days, it passed a $40 billion emergency relief package and authorized President Bush to use force against those behind the attacks. A few days later it approved a $15 billion package to help the airline industry survive the economic consequences of the attacks. Over the next two montl!s. Congress sent Bush two other far- reaching antiterrorism bills, one giving law enforcement ~weeping new surveillance and wiretapping powers and the other expanding airport and airline security.

While the decision won't be announced until .Sunday morning, editors at Time had to weigh several considerations in making their selection this week - including the likelihood of a strong reader backlash. · Choosing bin Laden would undoubtedly anger some and could even lead to canceled subscriptions. At the heart of their decision, though, must be the criteria set out by Time founder Henry Luce: "the person or persons who most affected the news of our lives, for good or ill, this year:' Time spokeswoman Debra Richman declined to specify this year's list of candidates, but she did say that the selection would in usome way" reflect the events of Sept. 11.

Johnson anxious to back on the track in 2 B'f'.._FimR II' SPORTS WRITER CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Tired of the frozen smile that had been plastered to his face over the course of a two-day pholo shoot, Jimmie Johnson was in need of some real comic relief. He got it when his boss walked in and headed str.light to the makeup artist. What's so funny about that? There's nothing like watching four-time Winston Cup champion jeff Gordon stop for a little powder and blush. "Looking good, boss," Johnson yelled across the room. "Not as good as you do," Gordon replied, taking care not to disrupt the primping process. The 2002 season is two months away, but Gordon has Johnson hard at work preparing for it. Aside from the coundess photo shoots, which will be used for everything from press kits to print ads,Johnson is hanging out at the sprawling new Hendrick Motorsports complex that houses his and Gordon's nee teams; and getting to know new crew chief Chad Knaus. The work schedule left Johnson time for two brief vacations, one to Mexico and one to Jamaica. Then it was back to North Carolina to prepare for his ·first Winston Cup season. It might seem like not much of an offseason. His time in his Busch car ended in November, and he heads to Florida at the beginning of February to prepare for the season-opening Daytona 500. But johnson doesn't care. He kriows that when you sign on to drive for Gordon and Rick Hendrick, you better be ready for the challenges. "I don't mind not having much time off,"Johnson said. "This might not be the popular opinion of any other drivers or crews, but I'm ready for the season to start.

"Guys just better be ready," Sharper said, recalling a game against Dallas in 1999 after the Cowboys claimed Akins off the Packers' practice squad. "And he played a heck of a game on special teams that day. So, I'm expecting Chris to come out and play extremely hard," Sharper said. "I just tell our guys on special teams to watch out for him, because if your back's turned, he might try to come· get you." And Akins had better watch out, too, Sharper said.

AT THE MOVIES ,. BY DAVID GERMAIN STOREWI 20%-10%00 AP MOVIE WRITER : You go in pulling for "Ali" \o be, if not the greatest of fight films, at least among the great. Muhammad Ali is such a fabled figure, his life on the l>ig screen should sizzle with s.ion and put viewers on the motional ropes as. the boxer es fiom center ring to exile and back again. I But director Michael Mann's story of "The Great...JCSI" is merely good. Instead of passion, there's an oddly clinical passivity about the production, a remoteness that portrays Ali's moves and attitudes but fails to get inside his skin. The film delivers broad strokes about Ali's rise to the championship, the friendship with Malcolm X, his time in the wasteland as a Vietnam draft resister, his str,uggles with Muslim chauvinism in relation to the women in his life and his eventual comeback in the ri'ng. Yet, the fUm imparts few insights into the man himself. Mann presents Ali as a champ who is who he is, no explana1 tions needed or rendered, who acts out based on principles that required ·greater explication to bring the character to life. That said, "Ali" still may have a shot to contend for some top Oscar nominations. As Ali, Will Smith makes a decent showing in his first major gambit at serious acting. Jon Voight, unrecognizably made-up as sportscaster Howard Cosell, is a candidate for a supporting-actor nod, as is Jamie Foxx in a surprisingly rich turn as troubled Ali aide Drew ''Bundini" Brown. "Ali" focuses on the boxer's prime, from his Cassim Clay days in 1964 when he win s the heavyweight crown from Sonny Liston, through his return to glory 10 years later . as he reclaims the championship from George Foreman at the "Rumble in'the Jungle" December 26-31 111 Sales are Fi ~ ALl - Drew "Bundlni" Brown (Jamie Foxx) embraces Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) in the Columbia .Pictures Presentation, "Ali" ..

"They've got to figure out a way to bring businesses in;' said Melinda's owner Bill Gibbs. "I don't know what the real plan is, but they need to get something in here to fill these stores up. "They don't seem like they want to do anything down here. You hear about all these plans and then nothing happens;• he added. Many small towns across the country have faced the same dilemma; how to rebuild and recharge the local economy. And as many have discovered, tourism dollars can be the key. "We need to try and work off the history of the town to bring people in," Roach said. "Once you do that, businesses will follow because they want to be where the people are." With the Ohlo and Kanawha rivers and Tu-Endie-Wei State Park leading the way, Mason County boasts a rich past that_ if packaged correctly, can ·draw tourist -and businesses from near and afar. "The little guy can't compete with the big guys but we're determined to make it," Gibbs said about the local economy. "You hope and pray you make it, but you know you won't be the only one in the boat if it does go down."

We have our own office, which " uve owned for the last seven y=-s. :"'"years ago, we built a !tome and took a second mongage out to P"Y off our student loans.

Please keep in mind that we are in practice together with no other source of income: B.M. and R.M., via e-mail DEAR DOCTORS B. and R.: For )'lUng people to borrow cheap money to invest is a wise idea. However, I would not encourage you to gO out and get secondary financing or worse, since you will pay a high premium for the privilege. Even if it is Bruce Williams ~MONEY available, the interest would eat you ali>1!. Furthermore, given the fact that you took out :,uur mortgage a couple of years ago, the OlleiWhelming likelihood i$ thar you can get a substantial reduction in the Interest rate on that mo~ by refinancing.

'Cted al=dy has a pee in first cbss :&lL one in coach; therefore my dog will have to ride in th~ baggage area of the plane. What is the thinking here? Are they afraid of a fight? - LP., Terre Haute, Ind. DEAR L.P.: As one who has occasion to travel back and forth with Mr. Pistol, my Boston terrier, I can sympathize with your situation. It~ not just one dog that the airlines allow, but one pet, whether it's a paralkeet, a cat or a dog in each cbss, only two to ·a Oight. I guess they are concerned about a cat and dog sitting next to each other. Because they are all in oontalners. I don't see why this should be a problem. What ....l.ly aggravates me is that I have to pay $75 to put my dog under the scat when someone can sit next to me with a crying child in need of a dUper change. and the Oight attendant will warm up his or her bonle. In short, the child requires a lot of attention and rides for nothing. The pet gets absolutely nothing, not even a coach meal or snack, and I stiU have to pay the $75. · DEAR BRUCE: I write very few checks. As a matter of fact, it seems that I haven't replaced the checks for years. I know that when I opened the account, the bank gave me the checks without charge. Now they are going to charge me $22 to print my checks. As I understood it, that was a service that they provided so ~Pat :,uu would open an account in their bank. When I asked the bank •about it, they said that the fee would never be waived. and if I wanted to continue using the account, I had to pay for the checks. u this just my bank, or are all banks charging? - T.S., via e-mail DEAR T.S.: It could be that when Mea 1y Chrisbatas from Ohio Valley Publishing Co.! you had these checks printed, they didn't have electronic numbers on the bottom, and that was a long time ago.

The restrained spending in the final stretch before Christmas cast a further paU on the shopping season, already expected to be the worst in at least a dec~de.

"I think it was even softer than Thanksgiving weekend."
