While top luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue cohtinue to do well, merchants that cater to middle and lower income shoppers have suffered as consumers struggle with higher gas and food . prices as well as a slumpmg housing market. There are no new, musthave holiday items like Apple Inc.'s iPod, though certain prOducts ·are doing well. At toy stores, Smart Cycle, from Mattei's Fisher-Price, and Jakks Pacific's EyeClops, a handheld device that magnifies objects, are among the earl'y hits, though sales have been stymied by concerns over Chinese-made toys. At clothing stores, dresses have been a strong seller, according to Dana Telsey, CEO of Telsey Advisory Group, an independent research ftrm. In electronics, there are no new game consoles, of though shortages Nintendo's Wii, which made its debut a year ago, have kept shopeers alert to whatever has dnbbled in. Pam Batts, of Raleigh.

"Now what do I do?" · Batts asked. "I've Rot just a month to find one.' · While Black Friday is expected by some analysts to be the busiest day of the · season, it's not a predictor of how retailers will fare in the season overall . In fact, the weekend only accounts for about 10 percent of overall holiday salesc But it does set the tone since what consumers see that day influences where they will shop for the rest of the year. Last year, retailers had a good start during the Thanksgiving weekend, but many stores struggled in December and a shopping surge just before and after Christmas wasn't enough to make up for lost sales. This year, analysts expect sales gains to be the weakest in five years. Washington-based National Retail Federation predicted that total holiday sales will be up 4 percent for the combined November and · December period, the slowest growth since a 1.3 percent rise in 2002. Holiday sales rose 4.6 percent in 2006 and growth has averaged 4.8 percent over the last decade.

Tonight Au stin <.:arne to my wife and me and said, "Momma, Zoe cut my hair.'' We looked at him and his hangs were mi ssing a big patch right in the middle . Zoe said she didn ' t do it and Au stin says she did . But lately, Au stin has been doing a lot ·of stuff to get his siste r into trouble, so we don ' t know which child to believe. I work 14 hours a day and don't spend as much time as I should with my family. This creates some fighting between my wife and me, and Austin won't listen to either one of us . We can't get him to take timeouts, and spankings don't do any good, either. We take away things he likes and he resists with violence. He hit~ and kicks my wife. How do I get my son under control?- Need Help in Kentucky · Dear Kentucky: Your very perceptive son is tattling on his sister in order to get attention. At that age. kids don ' t much care if it's positive or negative - they simply want ,their parents ' complete focus. You don't want Austin to discover that negative attention is the more reliable way to get it. It's important that you and your wife present a united front and stop arguing in front of the children. That undermines their sense of security and causes all sorts of acting out. Enlist your wife's help to tind a way to give both your children some individual time, even if it's only enough for a bedtime story or a short weekend excursion to the park. Talk to your pediatrician about parenting classes. Your state or county may offer them and you can find good tips online. There also are · books available at your local library. Please make time for this now or you'll have years to wish you had. Dear Annie: My friend · " Marianna" won't give me breathing room and cannot stop talking. She is constantly hanging on my arm, literally and figura tively. She is very emotionally clingy, calling as many as three times a day after spending six hours with me in school. I. don't like talking on the phone and have hinted as much, but the hour-long ~onver­ sations persist. She will also grab my hand and twist my fingers. tap my leg repeatedly with her foot , lean on me . etc. It' s exhausting an'd ~ annoy in g. I don'.t want to hurt her feelings or end the friendship because she's usually a lot of fun. But I am sick of her constant chatter and lack of re spect for my personal space. When I politely ask her to give me back my hand, she curtly says things like. "Fine. Sorry." I don't want to offend her, but I'm tired. How can I politely give her the message to back off? - Annoyed in California Dear Annoyed: The phone calls are easy - after you ' ve had enough. say, "I have to get off the phone now. I'll talk to you later," and hang up. You also have the option of letting her calls go to voicemail. If she twists your fingers, yell "ouch" loudly. The re st requires kindne~s and lirmness. It's OK to tell Marianna that you treasure the friendship but are uncomfortable with so much physical contact and remind her when she is grabby. A real friend cares about your feelings; too. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "In Mary's Shadow," who was constantly hearing about how wonderful the first wife was. She said.

While top luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue cohtinue to do well, merchants that cater to middle and lower income shoppers have suffered as consumers struggle with higher gas and food . prices as well as a slumpmg housing market. There are no new, musthave holiday items like Apple Inc.'s iPod, though certain prOducts ·are doing well. At toy stores, Smart Cycle, from Mattei's Fisher-Price, and Jakks Pacific's EyeClops, a handheld device that magnifies objects, are among the earl'y hits, though sales have been stymied by concerns over Chinese-made toys. At clothing stores, dresses have been a strong seller, according to Dana Telsey, CEO of Telsey Advisory Group, an independent research ftrm. In electronics, there are no new game consoles, of though shortages Nintendo's Wii, which made its debut a year ago, have kept shopeers alert to whatever has dnbbled in. Pam Batts, of Raleigh.

"I've Rot just a month to find one.' · While Black Friday is expected by some analysts to be the busiest day of the · season, it's not a predictor of how retailers will fare in the season overall . In fact, the weekend only accounts for about 10 percent of overall holiday salesc But it does set the tone since what consumers see that day influences where they will shop for the rest of the year. Last year, retailers had a good start during the Thanksgiving weekend, but many stores struggled in December and a shopping surge just before and after Christmas wasn't enough to make up for lost sales. This year, analysts expect sales gains to be the weakest in five years. Washington-based National Retail Federation predicted that total holiday sales will be up 4 percent for the combined November and · December period, the slowest growth since a 1.3 percent rise in 2002. Holiday sales rose 4.6 percent in 2006 and growth has averaged 4.8 percent over the last decade.

Tonight Au stin <.:arne to my wife and me and said, "Momma, Zoe cut my hair.'' We looked at him and his hangs were mi ssing a big patch right in the middle . Zoe said she didn ' t do it and Au stin says she did . But lately, Au stin has been doing a lot ·of stuff to get his siste r into trouble, so we don ' t know which child to believe. I work 14 hours a day and don't spend as much time as I should with my family. This creates some fighting between my wife and me, and Austin won't listen to either one of us . We can't get him to take timeouts, and spankings don't do any good, either. We take away things he likes and he resists with violence. He hit~ and kicks my wife. How do I get my son under control?- Need Help in Kentucky · Dear Kentucky: Your very perceptive son is tattling on his sister in order to get attention. At that age. kids don ' t much care if it's positive or negative - they simply want ,their parents ' complete focus. You don't want Austin to discover that negative attention is the more reliable way to get it. It's important that you and your wife present a united front and stop arguing in front of the children. That undermines their sense of security and causes all sorts of acting out. Enlist your wife's help to tind a way to give both your children some individual time, even if it's only enough for a bedtime story or a short weekend excursion to the park. Talk to your pediatrician about parenting classes. Your state or county may offer them and you can find good tips online. There also are · books available at your local library. Please make time for this now or you'll have years to wish you had. Dear Annie: My friend · " Marianna" won't give me breathing room and cannot stop talking. She is constantly hanging on my arm, literally and figura tively. She is very emotionally clingy, calling as many as three times a day after spending six hours with me in school. I. don't like talking on the phone and have hinted as much, but the hour-long ~onver­ sations persist. She will also grab my hand and twist my fingers. tap my leg repeatedly with her foot , lean on me . etc. It' s exhausting an'd ~ annoy in g. I don'.t want to hurt her feelings or end the friendship because she's usually a lot of fun. But I am sick of her constant chatter and lack of re spect for my personal space. When I politely ask her to give me back my hand, she curtly says things like. "Fine. Sorry." I don't want to offend her, but I'm tired. How can I politely give her the message to back off? - Annoyed in California Dear Annoyed: The phone calls are easy - after you ' ve had enough. say, "I have to get off the phone now. I'll talk to you later," and hang up. You also have the option of letting her calls go to voicemail. If she twists your fingers, yell "ouch" loudly. The re st requires kindne~s and lirmness. It's OK to tell Marianna that you treasure the friendship but are uncomfortable with so much physical contact and remind her when she is grabby. A real friend cares about your feelings; too. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "In Mary's Shadow," who was constantly hearing about how wonderful the first wife was. She said. "I on ce watched the video of the fun eral, and even I cried, wishing I had known her." I about fell oil my chair after reading this . .

But the looming specter of a painful death should in no way dampen the festivi· ty of your Thanksgiving dinner: Just make sure the food is prepared in accordance with federal guidelines (" STEP ONE : Lighting The Blowtorch"). And before you eat, don't forget to bow your head for the traditional prayer of ' Dave Barry thanks ("We thank Thee for this bountiful meal and ask Thine forgiveness for the fact that we hath ordered pizza").

This year, I'm pleased to report, the department has outdone itself: For the first time ever, the department has · officially advised Americans not to stuff their turkeys. Many alert readers sent in an Associated Press item in ·which the manager of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Meat and Poultry Hot Line - whose name is (I am not making this up) Bessie Berry - is quoted as saying': "Improperly cooked stuffing Cl!n cause serious iJ.Iness or even death."

SECOND BANK TELLER : Do .as he says' He 's holding improperly cooked stuffing! But the looming specter of a painful death should in no way dampen the festivi· ty of your Thanksgiving dinner: Just make sure the food is prepared in accordance with federal guidelines (" STEP ONE : Lighting The Blowtorch"). And before you eat, don't forget to bow your head for the traditional prayer of ' Dave Barry thanks ("We thank Thee for this bountiful meal and ask Thine forgiveness for the fact that we hath ordered pizza"). Another traditional thing you should do is teach your kids the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Union Savings Bank has balked at fixing up two properties it acquired through foreclosures northeast of the city's downtown. The criminal case alleges the bank failed to adequateiy barricade a vacant building . It orders the bank to repair or block off the entrance steps, cut weeds and remove trash and falling plaster. The squabble is indicative of the tension building between banks and cities over the thousands of properties banks have through foreclosure as .the subprime mortgage problem continues to escalate. · "Needless to say, the criminal complaint distresses the bank," attorney Brian E. Chapman wrote in an Oct. 9letter to City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. "If the lending institutions are faced with serious financial loss or criminal complaints related to building code violations, they will simply cease providing the capital, and the properties will further deteriorate without any hope of rehabilitation." Dohoney said building inspectors treat banks like they would any other property owner. In a written response to Union Savings, Dohoney said the bank "has made a bad business decision and ignored its obligation to maintain the real estate it owns." -~---~-----_., _.,_.,-/'"""''_,_...... ~ For the Record Highway Patrol \ CHESTER - Denise L.

"We're very proud of them and we hope they continue to do well.' · David Pyles, coach of the Women's Softball Team, sa1d tha:t the team had a grade point average of 3.68 last year. He explained that he requires all of his freshmen players to take part in study tables. . . ''I think it's a tremendous help to boost them along for the fir5t year," Pyles said. He also requires any of his student-athletes with a grade point average under 3.0 to take part in study tables. Student-athletes have to balance their academics and the time they spend in atltletics, and Pyles said they have to manage their time effec· tively. "What I try to tell them is that maybe they don't have as much spare time as the average college student," Pyles said. His softball players have been dedicated and put in a lot of hard work in order to excel in their classes, and they are also obviously very intelligent. It's a great honor to achieve the highest ranking in the country once, and BY DAVE HARRIS . SPORTS CORRESPONDENT even more impressive to do this two ye~s m a row.

This is Pyles' seventh season at Rio Grande, and he has seen his former players graduate and move into suecessful careers. The alumni are working in careers such as education and business, and many have gone onto graduate programs.

He also requires any of his student-athletes with a grade point average under 3.0 to take part in study tables. Student-athletes have to balance their academics and the time they spend in atltletics, and Pyles said they have to manage their time effec· tively. "What I try to tell them is that maybe they don't have as much spare time as the average college student," Pyles said. His softball players have been dedicated and put in a lot of hard work in order to excel in their classes, and they are also obviously very intelligent.

This is Pyles' seventh season at Rio Grande, and he has seen his former players graduate and move into suecessful careers. The alumni are working in careers such as education and business, and many have gone onto graduate programs.

You can use pretty much anything to plug the' shotgun's magazine, a pencil, a stick, whatever, as long as you can't remove it without removing the barrel or magazine cap. A little advice: double check before you head out, make sure the magazine will hold no more than two shells.

GALLIA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT tackles the problem of sex education m the public schools. Ruth Ramsey is a "human sexuality" teacher, a divorced mother of two daughters. She comes under public scrutiny for a comment made m her ninth grade sex education class. The admini stration then demands she use an "abstinence only" approach . Meanwhile, she falls for her dauglite( s soccer coach, a recovering alcoholic and drug addi~t. who is married to an agreeable to-the-point of nausea younger woman. He is a member of a local evangelical church, and he initiates a prayer at the end of hard-fought match. The community 1s divided along secular and religious lines. The sex education issue is no small matter. The news frequently reports nasty squabbles in communities dealing with this. Nothing · inflames a parent more, than someone foisting their religious beliefs on their children. While the issue is important, this book is trite . - seems like an excuse to explore the characters' sex lives. Despite its place on a bestseller list, I personally feel this novel is riding on the coattails of the author's previous work. Skip this one! · I eagerly anticipated Alice Sebold's second novel because I liked The Lovely Bones so much. ·Bones was a story about a murdered child looking down from heaven on her parents, her murderer and her community. Tastefully done, touchingly haunting, this little girl's story seemed to speak for all abducted children and the horrors of a life lost far too early. The second novel, The Almost Moon, begins with a fascinating first line .- Beverly Gettles "When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily," Helen Knightly and her mother, Claire, were locked in a poisonous relationship. The mother had dementia. The father killed himself. Here is another divorced woman with two daughters . Helen, the killer, narrates the story of the 24 hours following the death, and her bizarre actions and memories 'make up the entire book. This one is so strange and repulsive I couldn't even read the entire thing. Just read the first few chapters, then skipped to the end to see what happened, something I NEVER, ever do. Save your time - read A ChristltWs Carol or something uplifting, not this piece of drivel. They have ·made films of a couple of my favorite reads - The Kite Runner 'and No Coumry for Old Men. The· first should be uplifting, the .. second depressmg. Hosseini and McCarthy are two of our best living writers: The release date of The Kite Runner has been pushed back until December so the children who are in the .film can be gotten out of Afghanistan to prevent reprisal. No Country for Old Men is about the drug trade. Though it is set on the Texas-Mexico border, it has relevance for nearly every community in our country. Thi& is an evil business, lucrative to the point of obscenity, attracting the very worst and most heartless of the criminal element. It's filled with blood . and gore, not for the weak of stomach or ·heart, but great story-tcilling. McCarthy granted his sole i'nterview to (who else?) Oprah. He is the most reclusive author since J.D. Salinger, but his books speak for him. .

'"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam: "Be it ever so . humble there's no place.like home! " On more than one occasion during the Civil War, those words- from the prewar hit "Home, Sweet Home" brought the two sides together, an impromptu and peaceful battle of the bands, if only for a few minutes. For the bored and lonely men trying to while away the evenings, military bands provided much-needed comfort and entertainment. Now several dozen bands around the country perform music from the Civil War era - often on authentic instruments and in period attire - but not just to entertain. By telling stories that go with the music, they also provide a lesson in history, a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and their families as they fought to define the nation 's future . "We read from the actual diaries of musicians, so you can hear in their own words how they felt about what they were doing at that time," siiid Jari Villanueva, an e'lpert on music from the era who co. founded a band ·in Bllltimore that lias both Union and Confederate uniforms. · The band, whose members range in age from 16 to 58, plays Union music as the Federal City Brass Band and Confederate music as the 26th North Carolina Regimental Band. "When you play music from a given time period, you can really look into what a society was all about at that time," said Villanueva, who has pored over hundreds of the diaries at the Library of Congress in Washington.

GALLIA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT tackles the problem of sex education m the public schools. Ruth Ramsey is a "human sexuality" teacher, a divorced mother of two daughters. She comes under public scrutiny for a comment made m her ninth grade sex education class. The admini stration then demands she use an "abstinence only" approach . Meanwhile, she falls for her dauglite( s soccer coach, a recovering alcoholic and drug addi~t. who is married to an agreeable to-the-point of nausea younger woman. He is a member of a local evangelical church, and he initiates a prayer at the end of hard-fought match. The community 1s divided along secular and religious lines. The sex education issue is no small matter. The news frequently reports nasty squabbles in communities dealing with this. Nothing · inflames a parent more, than someone foisting their religious beliefs on their children. While the issue is important, this book is trite . - seems like an excuse to explore the characters' sex lives. Despite its place on a bestseller list, I personally feel this novel is riding on the coattails of the author's previous work. Skip this one! · I eagerly anticipated Alice Sebold's second novel because I liked The Lovely Bones so much. ·Bones was a story about a murdered child looking down from heaven on her parents, her murderer and her community. Tastefully done, touchingly haunting, this little girl's story seemed to speak for all abducted children and the horrors of a life lost far too early. The second novel, The Almost Moon, begins with a fascinating first line .- Beverly Gettles "When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily," Helen Knightly and her mother, Claire, were locked in a poisonous relationship. The mother had dementia. The father killed himself. Here is another divorced woman with two daughters . Helen, the killer, narrates the story of the 24 hours following the death, and her bizarre actions and memories 'make up the entire book. This one is so strange and repulsive I couldn't even read the entire thing. Just read the first few chapters, then skipped to the end to see what happened, something I NEVER, ever do. Save your time - read A ChristltWs Carol or something uplifting, not this piece of drivel. They have ·made films of a couple of my favorite reads - The Kite Runner 'and No Coumry for Old Men. The· first should be uplifting, the .. second depressmg. Hosseini and McCarthy are two of our best living writers: The release date of The Kite Runner has been pushed back until December so the children who are in the .film can be gotten out of Afghanistan to prevent reprisal. No Country for Old Men is about the drug trade. Though it is set on the Texas-Mexico border, it has relevance for nearly every community in our country. Thi& is an evil business, lucrative to the point of obscenity, attracting the very worst and most heartless of the criminal element. It's filled with blood . and gore, not for the weak of stomach or ·heart, but great story-tcilling. McCarthy granted his sole i'nterview to (who else?) Oprah. He is the most reclusive author since J.D. Salinger, but his books speak for him. .

'"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam: "Be it ever so . humble there's no place.like home! " On more than one occasion during the Civil War, those words- from the prewar hit "Home, Sweet Home" brought the two sides together, an impromptu and peaceful battle of the bands, if only for a few minutes. For the bored and lonely men trying to while away the evenings, military bands provided much-needed comfort and entertainment. Now several dozen bands around the country perform music from the Civil War era - often on authentic instruments and in period attire - but not just to entertain. By telling stories that go with the music, they also provide a lesson in history, a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and their families as they fought to define the nation 's future . "We read from the actual diaries of musicians, so you can hear in their own words how they felt about what they were doing at that time," siiid Jari Villanueva, an e'lpert on music from the era who co. founded a band ·in Bllltimore that lias both Union and Confederate uniforms. · The band, whose members range in age from 16 to 58, plays Union music as the Federal City Brass Band and Confederate music as the 26th North Carolina Regimental Band. "When you play music from a given time period, you can really look into what a society was all about at that time," said Villanueva, who has pored over hundreds of the diaries at the Library of Congress in Washington.

The farmers say .ihe DEA's failure to approve their applications thwarted ' their plans to get a hemp crop in the ground last sprin~. The government says tt was not reasonable for the farmers to expect a quick decision, and that the farmers should wait for a · DEA decision before suing. .Hovland was skeptical that the DEA will ever approve the farmers' application. "I think we can all sit here and agree it ain't gonna happen," he said. Monson called the DEA's inaction on the applications "a de facto denial," saying the government can simply wait to rule until it is too late for farmers to plant a crop. Ertme( and Sandler agreed with Hovland that a change in federal law might be the best method of dealing with the issue of industrial hemp cultivation. Hovland said legislation has in been introduced Congress to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana. Adam Eidinger, a spokesman for Vote Hemp, a nonprofit lobbying group that is funding the farmers' lawsuit, said hearings on that bill are not expected until next spring. He said many members of Congress want to wait on legislation until the North Dakota legal case is resolved. "Really, North Dakota is a test case," Eidinger said. "If we succeed, we'll be able to see if farmers can grow the crop. If we fail, it puts more pressure on Congress to act." puzzle answer Is sponsored by ARBORS .AT GALLIPOLIS SkUied Nursing and RehabllttaUon Center 70 Pinecrest Dr. Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 740.446•7112 f![ENDI~ l\egtster To Place (304) 675-1333 Or Fax To (304) 675-5234 ETYOURCLASSIFIEDLINEAD NOTICED Wgrd Ads Now you con hove bor.ders ond graphics ~ oddedtoyourclassifledods (.~ ,.,.., Borders $3.00/per ad l!,iilll Graphics 50¢ for small $1.00 for Iorge .- pjsglay Ads Dally In-Column : 1:00 p.m. Monday-Friday for Insertion In Next Day•s Paper · In-Column : 1:00 p.m. For Sundays Paper Monday thru Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m • Riverbend Animal Clinic wins Gallia 4-H Clover Award trace amounts of the mind- is what Hauge and Monson altering chemical tetrahydro- plan to produce .

The government says tt was not reasonable for the farmers to expect a quick decision, and that the farmers should wait for a · DEA decision before suing. .Hovland was skeptical that the DEA will ever approve the farmers' application. "I think we can all sit here and agree it ain't gonna happen," he said. Monson called the DEA's inaction on the applications "a de facto denial," saying the government can simply wait to rule until it is too late for farmers to plant a crop. Ertme( and Sandler agreed with Hovland that a change in federal law might be the best method of dealing with the issue of industrial hemp cultivation. Hovland said legislation has in been introduced Congress to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana. Adam Eidinger, a spokesman for Vote Hemp, a nonprofit lobbying group that is funding the farmers' lawsuit, said hearings on that bill are not expected until next spring. He said many members of Congress want to wait on legislation until the North Dakota legal case is resolved. "Really, North Dakota is a test case," Eidinger said. "If we succeed, we'll be able to see if farmers can grow the crop. If we fail, it puts more pressure on Congress to act." puzzle answer Is sponsored by ARBORS .AT GALLIPOLIS SkUied Nursing and RehabllttaUon Center 70 Pinecrest Dr. Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 740.446•7112 f![ENDI~ l\egtster To Place (304) 675-1333 Or Fax To (304) 675-5234 ETYOURCLASSIFIEDLINEAD NOTICED Wgrd Ads Now you con hove bor.ders ond graphics ~ oddedtoyourclassifledods (.~ ,.,.., Borders $3.00/per ad l!,iilll Graphics 50¢ for small $1.00 for Iorge .- pjsglay Ads Dally In-Column : 1:00 p.m. Monday-Friday for Insertion In Next Day•s Paper · In-Column : 1:00 p.m. For Sundays Paper Monday thru Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m • Riverbend Animal Clinic wins Gallia 4-H Clover Award trace amounts of the mind- is what Hauge and Monson altering chemical tetrahydro- plan to produce .
