A new book called "Who Really Cares" Bill by Syracuse University O'Reilly professor Arthur Brooks is not going to please the Howard Dean crowd. The book states flat-out that · · religious Americans who . tion and giving said assets vote Republican are far to the less well-off through more likely to be generous entitlements like subsito the downtrodden than dized health care, housing, secular-progressives. educational scholarships The big question, of and the like. The left is also course, is why? Liberal big on imposed "economic philosophy is all about justice," things like guaran"nurturing" people who teed wages and lifetime job need. help.

The cor- charity than Americans nerstone of liberal econom- who do not, according to ic thought is "income redis- Dr. Brooks. That is a stuntribution;" that is, big gov- ning differential. I believe this is a reliernment taking assets from the affluent through taxa- gious thing. Secular-pro- gressives believe in individual gratification, and that often takes money. Buying that jazzy new SUV and that vacation home can deplete disposable cash fast. If it's all about you, then you .are thinking about you, not about poor Dave· down the street. But devout Christians, Jews, and Muslims are compelled to help the poor by their beliefs. Personal gratification is not a big theme in scripture. Jesus was a huge "help your neighbor" guy. For J.C., it is all about Dave down the street, not the latest material possession. The statistics say that . religious Americans ·give four times as much money to charity each year than secular people, and are 23 times more likely to volunteer to help people . than folks who never attend church . And here's another crushing stat: If liberals donated blood at the rate conservatives do, the nation's blood supply would rise 45%. So in this season of giving, Christmas, a word some liberals don' t like to say, it might be worth pondering just who is really looking out for the havenots. The leftist media often portrays coriservati ves as mean, cruel and insensitive. to the plight of the downtrodden. But, as the tax returns of multimillionaires Dick Cheney a ,d AI Gore prove, the media image is false. The Vice President gives millions to charity, Mr. Gore ' very little. So the next time you hear .a big government liberal bloviate about helping the poor, please trot out the statistics mentioned in this column. And then tell that person that in America today, giving money to charity seems to be . the right thing. What's left is not even close. Jack L Vance Jack L.

OK, high school students: I want you to stop piercing your noses for a moment and listen to me, because I'm going to talk to you about a topic that is more important to your future than anything else except flossing - your SATs . . It is very unfortunate that these tests cause some of · you to experience great stress - or, as you say i.n your own teenage lingo, "make a cow." You believe that if you get a low SAT score, you're a dope and you'll have to attend some third-rate college where the classrooms have wheels and the athletic teams have a nickname like "The Fighting Tarpaulins," and you'll wind up in some boring, dead-end-loser job . such as ragpicker or leech · monger or · Whitewater investigator. This is incorrect, young people! A low SAT score does not automatically mean failure! Remember 'lhat Charles Lindbergh got only 240 on his verba l. and he went on to invent the phonograph. And if that's not inspirational enough, let me tell you a little story about a young man who took his first SAT and did very poorly.

Center cheers the lonely at Christmas Christmas is about many things, not the least among which is remembering those less fortunate, and there seem to be plenty in ·the Bend area. There is always ·concern for the · elderly who are no longer able to work, who barely survive on a monthly Social Security check, and many times have few friends remaining or relatives living close by to give them a helping hand. It is for those seniors with genuine needs who may have no one to remember them for Christmas that prompts the staff at the Senior Citizens Center to carry out an "angel tree project." This year, there were 25 names put on the tree, and of late last week all but one name had been·taken. In addition to the gifts from the person who selects an "angel'' from the tree, each one will receive a box of personal care items, canned goods and some household. supplies to .be delivered to therr home just before Christmas. As Debbie Jones, who chairs the project commented, "They are so appreciative, it makes tears come to my eyes." Something new added to the angel tree this year are envelopes for contributing Charlene Hoeflich to home delivered meals $2 for one meal. $10 for five, and $20 for 10 meals. The special meals usually go to seniors who live alone or- are unable to get out. ••• · Costumed animals entered in Pomeroy's Christmas parade were judged and the winners were Ashley Johnson with ·her dog "Fe be" for the best costume, Mary Rankin with her dog "Coco" for the most unusual costume. and the Sc henkelberg fami Iy with their ferrets, costumed as the t)lree wise men, .for the cutest.

Many here will remember the talents of Sarah Witte (no longer Fisher) who operated an antique shop on Main Street for several years and was always going about creating beautiful things. For a few years now she has been in Parkersburg and of course, after leaving here, it didn't take her long to get involved there. Sarah is involved in fundraising for the Children's Home Society of West Virginia and works with its clothing room, which serves over 400 families. To rais ~ money for the society, Sarah has pl.anned a "Christmas Wonderland" open house for Dec. 9 from 2 to 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 10 from 2 to 6 p.m. at her home. 1101 West Virginia Ave. The suggested donation is $5 and all of the money will go to assist children and families in the Parkersburg area. Now many of you may remember how extensively . Sarah decorated her honie when she lived in the Rock Springs community .every room had a Christmas tree, every nook and cranny featured something unique, the stairway was a masterpiece, and then there were the refreshments. It didn't get any better than that.

ATHENS- Although it's trading Hollywood for science centers and museums, the new NASA film "Footprints" is a smash hit in its own right. And Ohio University Professor of Music Andre Gribou is one of the many behind-thescenes people who helped bring this new cinematic experience to viewers. · Gribou wrote the score to "Footprints," the first fully produced film made for the Science on a Sphere platform, which was named one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions 2006. Developed by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Sphere uses four projectors to show full-motion films on a globe-shaped screen. This format allows viewers to see the films images as if they have a seat aboard the space shuttle. For example, viewers can watch Hurricane Katrina swirling its way toward Entrepeneur ·buys retirement complex WELLSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - An assisted living and retirement complex that includes an 1890s mansion has been sold for $1.2 million. Gene C. Valentine announced his acquisition of the Catholic Knights of America Assisted Living and Retirement Center on 'friday. The 495-acre property, which Valentine · renamed as Aspen Manor. is located outside Wellsburg. Valentine is co-chairman and chief executive officer of Financial West Investment Group Inc. in Westlake Village, Calif. He also is .the owner .and developer of · Peace Point Equestrian Center in Bethany. , He said he· plans to invest up to $2 million for renova- . tions. He said the facility, which currently has 45 resi · dents, will expand its ser, vices to include indepen- . dent living options for older people. New Orleans. When the film segment featuring Katrina begins, the accompanying music starts with a walking bass line and moves into a straight-ahead jazz thing, Gribou says. The music, of course, reflects the musical traditions ' of New Orleans. "The role of a score is to !!lake more of what already exists. It's an emotional reinforcement of what's taking place," Gribou says of his craft. He describes the score for "Footprints" which features live-action satellite images of earth and other planets as well as atmospheric and other weather phenomena as eclectic in musical styles, including tangos, jazz. solo piano and minimalist orchestra segments. Gribou wrote the score for the 16-minute film over a period of six days last April.

The RSVP program matches senior citizens in the three counties with a , variety of projects through' out the year. Many of the programs are held during the school year, as the seniors often work with students in the local schools. The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College helps support the RSVP program, and provides space for the program on the Rio Grande campus. The program also has a central office in Jackson. Susan.Rogers, director of the local RSVP, explained that one of the most popular programs RSVP is involved in is the Grandpa! s program.

Instead, they're facing seemingly endless rows of the bare-bellied Bratz and their imitators on everything from plastic dolls to bedspreads to videos. This year, however, there are some alternatives. 1\vo characters from generations past have been resurrected, updated and packaged as hip yet wholesome little girls. They are Holly Hobbie, · who in 1980 was the No. I licensed character in the United States, and Eloise, the girl who turned Manhattan's luxurious Plaza Hotel into her personal playground in a series of books that thrived from the 1950s through the 1970s. · "We saw an opportunity with Holly Hobbie, not as part of an '80s revival, but there's still a lot of equity with the name Holly Hobbie," says Tamra Knepfer, · senior VIce president of AG ptoperties at .American Greetings, "She'.s associated with 'wholesome' and 'friendship,' pure attributes that resonate with kids today and with the moms." Actress Lynn Redgrave, who provides the voice of Nanny, caregiver to that precocioush~!.guest,inthenew DVD "Eloise: Little Miss Christmas," says that she was eager to work on something her grandchildren will enjoy. She has fond memories of her children .and their Eloise moments when they lived in New Yock in the 1970s. "We had the book, we did the Plaza," Redgrave says. "They'd go in and say, 'Where is Eloise?'" Country music star LeAnn Rimes lends her voice to the new animated Holly Hobbie DVDs, including "Christmas Wishes." "Holly Hobbie was before my time, but some of my fnends in their mid-30s knew who she was and clued me in,'' says Rimes, 24. "As I found out more, I just really wanted to get involved and bring her to life." Rimes sees a bit of herself in Holly: They both have a pretty clean public image and are considered role models. Plus, each is sort of . tomboyish. . "She's a really cool giii, and I respected what she stlJod for as a character," Rimes says. "I don't have children of my own yet, but I feel like I'm · laying the groundwork so I'll have positive messages to send my kids. I look at what's out there and I'm just blown away about what kids are subjected to." Moms - or, in Rimes' case, would-be moms, - do seem to be the key to these old characters gettmg a new life. Some 90 percent of mothers believe there are not enough wholesome role mod· els, celebrities, characters and brands for young girls to emulate, according to a survey of 1,010 moms with ·daughters 4 to 9 years old. It was conducted by market researcher Synovate on behalf of American Greetings. Sunday, December 3, 2006 .'

"Our volunteers provided the initial staffing for the .first month that it was open," Rogers said. The exhibit is a traveling display that is ·being taken across the country.
