Q 'l ft 1~ Holidays a time,ofbigger crowds and opportunities for churches BY JAY UNDSAY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BOSTON - To describe his feelings at the pulpit during a jam-packed Christmas worship service, the Rev. Paul McPheeters talks "Monday Night Football." The excitement of speak· ing in front of a big holiday crowd is like a player's during the prime -time game, he says. So many worshippers attend only on the holidays, and every preacher wants the service to be memorable and moving. The result. says McPheeters , of Forestdale Community Church. is that when he stands in the pulpit he's just "a little more jacked up about it" than on a typical Sunday. So are many of hi s colleagues . Around the country, ministers in churches big and smal l are preparing to welcome the annual rush of visitors who attend just on Christmas or Easter. These '' Holiday Christians," as some call them, come for many reasons whether they're dragged by family members or attracted to a hopeful message during what can be a time of loneliness. Pastors and priests say they strive to be friendly, inspirational and clear about the Christmas message of God coming to eanh to redeem humanity. But whether it's music. drama or homilie s, church leade rs know that whatever they do must be done exceptionally well, said the Rev. Daniel Benedict, director of worship resources at The United Methodist Church General Board of Discipleship. "Culturall y, the expectations are extremely high for Christmas," he said. "Worship services that don't meet the high expectations are doomed to failure for everyone , but particularly for the guests that are there infrequently." Despite its commercialization, Christmas remains a time of personal and spiritual ret1ection. and that makes people open to the Christian message, said Gerald Mann of the Riverbend Church in Austin, Texas. "This is the time of year to shine the light on all the dark places in your head," Mann said. "I th ink it's God's declaration that no matter how secular soc iety gets, you can't kill God." Pastors say they don ' t wan t holiday visitors to feel guilty because of th eir infrequent attendance or embarrassed because they 're unfamiliar with Some church rituals. churches don ' t take offer· ings, so visitors won't feel the church is just after their money. Others remove reli· gious readings that vi~itors might be un familiar with, or make sure to exp lain them in church bulletins. "We don't want people sin· gled out or feeling awkward ," said the Rev. Gordon Hugenberger, pastor the historic Park Street Church in Boston. "We 're thrilled they're here." Churches offer' a variety of ways to tell the Christmas story, from simple candlelight services to elaborate musical presentations. For instance, the "Chri stmas Bursts Into Beauty" presentation at Washington Cathedral in Redmond, Wash., features a live manger scene, soloists and harpists. · Involving children is a way to grab the attention of visiting parents and grandparents who come to watch them . It also emphasizes how God came to earth as a child, said the Rev. Erwin Lutzer of The Moody Chu rch in Chicago. He gat hers his congregation's children around him to tell the Chri stmas story during his service. And, yes, he and other pastors get nervous when they look out at the congregation. "I think that there's extm excitef11ent at Christmas time. There's a certain mood," Lutzer said. "We all want to do well. We want to make Jesus look good, if I can put it that way." The Rev. Joseph Juknialis, associate pastor at St. Peter and Paul Parish in Milwaukee, said Christmas is one of those times "when you really wish you could preach well." "What happens is that's usually when you're least satisfied, " said Juknialis, also the director of The Preaching Institute at Saint Francis Seminary. McPheeters said that, for the first live of his 20 years in ministry, his main thought before the Christmas service was ''Lord, get me out of here." But as years have passed, he's learned to rely on God to work through him, he said. Benedict of the Methodist board said that kind of thinking can help. "Perhaps that is what unbinds the tension in this," he said. Pastors interviewed said they don't do much to follow up with Christmas visitors, apan from routine steps such as sending letters to those who sign a guest book . Tim White, of Washington Cathedral , said he relies on the Christmas story to draw people back. "The Christmas message itself is inspiring to people who come from an unchurched background," White sa id . " If it' s an inspiring experience for people ... that takes down a lot of barriers ."

REED The jail has been closed since 200 I, and since that time, Sheriff Ralph Trussell has contracted with other facilities, particularly Washington County Jail and Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, to house local inmates. "Even though the commissioners are responsib le for the cost of housing prisoners, the funds ultimately come from the sheriff's budget," Beegle said Wednesday. " I think it 's important to keep that money m the county and save on transportation expenses. "Having our own lockup in the county again wi ll save the county considerable money.

Children everywhere hold their breath, their hearts pumping and their eyes shining as they wait for all the glory of Chri stmas morning to be unveiled! In an instant, presents under the tree will be seized and their wrappings and·trappings shredded. In an instant, all those things hidden beneath will be revealed for.what they are , received and enjoyed inasmuch as they are desirable to their recipients. Childhood is the learninglab for most of wh at we come to expect in our spiritual lives. Oh , that we would wait as ea'gerly for the unwrapping of all the gifts of God's love in our everyday living! The work of Jesus on the Cross opened up to us all the riches of heaven, clearing the way for an overabundance of God's bles sings in everyday life' "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And th~ll is what we are!" (1 John J:'Ia). Be ready then to receive the good things of God .. . namely, forgivene ss of sin as we repent and turn in faith to Christ Jesu s; peace as we cease to fret and fume over our troubles and circumstances; joy as we celebrate new life and open · access to the Father through Jesus Christ; and hope as we believe that our God. Who is forever faithful and true, is ruling all thing s in Creation to their appointed end according to Hi s ultimate will . " ... Be encouraged in heart and united in love so that you may have the full riches . of complete understanding, in order that you may know the mystery of God , namely, Christ, in Whom are hidden Church of Christ Emmuuel Aposrollc labenulde IM.

Indeed you are if you have placed your faith for salvation in Chri st. It may seem that so many of the gifts of God in your life are still wrapped and under the tree (so to speak) but in His time He' ll have you unwrap them as He reveals in new ways His love, protection and providence for your life. Ultimately, when He calls His children home, those who've placed their faith i11 Christ, there will be a great "unwrapping" "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him. for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself. just as He is pure'' (1 John 3:2-3). This Chri stmas season, a, you busily unwrap or watch others unwrap their Christmas gifts. carefully and with wonder "unwrap" the gift of each new day by trusting that there is a gift of great value within it for you from God.

'200.20 Christmas is over and the Wise Men who followed the light of a bright star in order to witness a great miracle are on the way back to their own country. (Man. 2: 12) But it would not.be true to say that the world ever returned to normal after the night of. wonder in Bethlehem . People still talk about it 2·,000 years later. I have told some of you the story of the sixth-grade girl who wrote to me a few years ago to ask about the Christmas star. One of her teachers, she said, had told the class that it wasn't a star at all that appeared at the time of Jesus' birth. It was just a bright light in the sky that was the result of the conjunction of three planets Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. "I always thought God put the star there to lead the Wise Men to Bethlehem," my young correspondent said. She wondered what I thought. I told her, "Your teacher is probably right. But this does not mean that you are wrong ." I told her that astrologers in ancient times believed that important events 'were announced in the heavens. They were acquainted with Hebrew lore that said a star George Plagenz would be a sign of the birth of the Messiah. So when Jupiter, representing the highest of the gods and the ruler of the universe, approached Saturn (regarded by the ancients as the defender of Palestine) astrologers believed it meant that a divine and cosmic ruler was to appear in Palestine. The appearance of the bright planet Mars in the sky at this time close to Jupiter and Saturn would have produced a quite spectacular celestial light. Perhaps it looked like one tremendously bright star. Was it just an accident that the birth of Jesus the Messiah occurred at the time when this astrological sign appeared in the heavens? Or had God arranged it that way? That is what my· little pen pal was asking me. Perhaps, I said, we can say that Jesus' binh was an event of such magnitude that not only did people from al) over the Ea11h - rich kings and poor shepherds - make their way to Bethlehem, but even the stars in the heavens "looked in" and added their brightness to his coming. And as wise men of old followed that heavenly light (which looked very much like a bright star). so wise men (and women) follow that star's gleam today. Christmasti me is an invitation for all of us to look up and see a star - something we may not have seen in a long time. When the lights went out one night in Las Vegas. perhaps the most garishly lit city in the world, some residents said they saw the stars for the first time in their memory. They could not believe what thev had been ' ' . m1ssmg . Thomas Carlyle. Scottish author and historian, said the tragedy of life was not so much what men suffer but what they mi ss. The late Dean Emerson, an Episcopal cleric, mu st have had that in mind when he said, "The Christmas season brings back for a brief hour what once we had and failed to appreciate. "Ears that have been dulled by the din of things are made sensitive at ' Friday, December 24, Obituaries Diana Kay Roberts Christmastime to the rustle of wings . Eyes that have been blinded by the dust of things are opened to the vision of a star." Stars have always been a reminder of "the heavens that lay behind the blue curtain of the sky whence night . by night God hung out his silver lamps to shine upon the Earth." · But they do more than tell us that heaven is still there above the din and dust. They recall to us in our hour> of trouble and grief that "Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. " "Days will come," said Dean Emerson, "when we will plod on leaden feet and sigh for wings. Nights will come when the star will not shine and when' the angels' · song will be hushed." Then he added, "When such times come, they who have walked for a little while in the light of the Christmas Star will know that, above the encircling gloom and arourid it. shines the light of God's love in the face of Christ, and they will know that love is al the heart of all good things - of God and man and the world."

For at least four decades, we conservatives have complained loudly that the major media in this country are biased in favor of the liberals. With the sole exception of the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal (its news pages are another _matter), virtually every major source of information available to the American people has religiously followed the liberal line . The New York Times, The Washington Post, all three major televi sion networks, and both newsmagazines (Time and New sweek) have fought conservative presidents. politicians and ideas tooth and claw - all while professing a positively sublime objectivity.. Or so we · charged.

The clashes raged as nearly I ,000 residents returned to the devastated city for the first time since U.S. troops drove out most of the militants last month. At least three Marines were killed in combat that underlined how far the city and surrounding area are from being tamed as the United States and its iraqi allies try to bring quiet before national elections Jan. 30. American troops have also faced growing violence in the northern city of Mosul, where a blast ripped through a mess tent at a military base Tuesday, killing 22 peoplemost of them Americans. The suicide bomber believed to have carried out the attack was probably wearing an Iraqi military uniform, a U.S. general said Thursday. The FBI has joined the investigation into the blast as the military reassesses security at bases across Iraq in light of the bomber's success in apparently slipping into the camp and entering a tent crowded with soldiers eating lunch. In the center of Fallujah, F-18s dropped several bombs, sending up plumes of smoke. Tank and machine gun fire cou ld be heard to the south, while howitzers at Beegle from Page A1 Beegle said he will not likely hire a full-time jail cook, as past sheriffs have done, but will, instead, examine the possibility of contracting with a local agency, Camp Fallujah southeast of the city boomed throughout the day. The guns fired illu mination rounds after dark to help Marines on the ground spot attackers. The military would not give specific figures for casualties in Fallujah , saying only that three Marines were killed in action Thursday in Anbar province, which surrounds the city. But a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the three deaths occurred in the Fallujah clashes. While the fighting raged, hundreds of Fallujans spent hours lined up at a checkpoint northwest of the city, one of four entry points where people had to prove they lived in the Andalus di strict, a mostly commercial area in the heart of Fallujah that was the first neighborhood opened to residents. Iraqi National Guardsmen hung small. colorful posters on concrete barriers that showed a crying girl and the words in Arabic , "Zarqawi killed her parents," a reference to Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab ai-Zarqawi. who was believed to have been in Fallujah before the U.S. attack.

Corian tiles can CLEVELAND (AP) Mark Shapiro finally got to negotiate a contract without having to worry about his payroll. Cleveland's general manager, who has rebuilt the mid· market Indian s into a contender without having much money to spend, received a two-year contract extension Wednesday through the 2007 season. The Indians went 80-82 last season , a . 12-game improvement from 2003 . and expect to challenge · for the AL Central title in 2005. Cleveland was within one game of first-place Minnesota on Aug. I before losing eight straight. "I fully expect us to contend from the start - and longer," Shapiro said. "That means contending for the playoffs." Shapiro's contract was due to expire after next season. But the Indians never intended to let him leave and began working on the extension in February. Shapiro deserves much of the credit for Cleveland's ascent, and now he 's looking forward to getting the Indians back among the league's elite on the tield. Under Shapiro, Cleveland has replenished its minor leagues, which was stripped of prospects in trades during the team 's run of six division titles and two AL pennants from 1995-200 I. But through trades and signings by Shapiro. the Indians have quality players throughout one of baseball's premier farm systems. Shapiro's biggest challenge has been trying to keep the Indians competitive while working under the constraints of a payroll that dropped from $90 million in 200 l to $35 million last season. Because of Cleveland's inability to spend, Shapiro hasn't signed any upper-echelon free agents, including his own.

Akron, Columbus mayors won't run against each other for governor AKRbN (AP) The mayors of Columbus and Akron have spoken about becoming Democratic candidates for governor in 2006 but don 't plan to run against each other, Akron's Mayor Don Plusquellic said. Plusquellic said during a news conference there was no reason for Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman and him to compete. "It doesn't make sense for us to run against each other and we won't," Plusquellic said Wednesday, saying he 'd talked to Coleman about the race. 55, told Plusquellic, reporters that he didn't have any major announcements and also said he hadn't considered running for statewide office in the past but now Ohio "is 111 such bad con(lition" he is Bl The Daily S~ntinel INSIDE ' Cross-River.Rivals Due to early deadlines Thursday, the Wahama at Meigs, as well as the Gallia Academy at Point Pleasant boys basketball games will appear In the Saturday Point Pleasant Register and the Sunday Times Sentinel, provided the games are played.

NEW YORK - Where the Bowl Championship Series goes from here remains to be seen - but it's definitelv not going away. ' "We 're not heading toward a playoff." Big East commissioner Mike Tranghe'e said. The Associated Press has told the BCS to stop using its poll to determine which teams play for a national title. The BCS appears to be willing to move on without the AP poll. Coordinator and Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg has said the BCS hopes to have a new formula ready by April. So for the second straight season and the fifth time since the system was implemented in 1998. the BCS will be change the way it com-· putes its standings . ''I wasn't surprised by the AP's decision ." Tranghese said. "I don't think it's a neg· ative issue . We're juM going to have to put our heads together and come up with an alternative way of picking the teams fur the t-2 game." This season . the BCS streamlined its formula and put heavy emphasi s on the AP and ESPN/USA Todav coaches poll . The goal was to make it more likely that Nos. I and 2 in the polls played in the national title uame. unlike last season when Southern California was a consensus No. I bur left out of the BCS championship. Without the AP pull. the BCS's current formula is left with the coaches poll and six computer ran kings. The BCS could just stick with those two and change the weighting system. Or it could add more computers. Or mavbe it could even revive the strength of schedule component. which was eliminated b~<.:ause it was deemed redundant. "We certainlv have other option s on how· to select and rank the teams." Pac- t 0 commissioner Tom Hansen said. Please see 8CS, 8:1 Yoi!

When the BCS added its fifth game earlier this year, the idea was t1oated to have t.he tup two teams after the Fiesta, Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowl play in t.he new game for lhe championship.

"O'Neal's previous conduct in t.he NBA is vastly different from Artest's," Kaplan wrote. "He is the recipient of a couple of awards attesting to his character, community involvement and citizenship. His one punch of a spectator, while excessive, was clearly out of character." Indiana has lost nine of 14 games since the brawl , using pat.chwork lineups in an effort to make up for the loss of three of the team's five leading scorers. O'Neal, a three-time AllSt.ar and eight-year veteran , served the 15th game of hi s suspension Wednesday night when the . Pacers played Philadelphia. "It 's good news," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. " ll would have been great to get some good news on the other two - Stephen and Ron - but that didn ' t happen. . But again, Jermaine 's situation is far from resolved and we know th at. We ' II just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. The NBA has already filed a lawsuit in U.S . Di strict Court challenging Kaplan 's authority to hear the grievance, a complaint that remains pending before U.S. Dist.rict Judge George B. Daniels. At Thursday 's hearing. the union is expected to ask the judge to issue an order granting immediate enforcement of Kaplan 's ruling, thereby makin g 0 ' Neal eligible for Saturday's game. Each of the players testi fied before Kaplan during the arbitration hearing , and union attorneys submitted t.hree line~ of argument. on the issue of jurisdiction. The union cit.ed a 1995 modification to the collect.ive bargaining agreement allowing for appeals in cases where the financial penalty to the disciplined played exceeds $25 ,000. The union also argued t.he definitions of what const.itutes "reasonable" punish ment. and "on-court. behav ior.'' The arbitrator also reviewed videotape of the entire 12-minute brawl. in which Artest sprinted into the stands and confronted a fan he believed had thrown a drink at him. Jackson also went into the stands and exchanged punches . with fans, while O'Neal and Johnson punched fans who came onto t.he court "What happened here was conduct. that. occurred in the stands and not ' on the play ing court,"' Kaplan wrote . "A literal reading of those word s would not encompass any activity which occurred in the stands."

With families gathering for their Christmas celebrations, residential power demand will be high. There is no shortage of power; however, consumer rates can increase if demand sets a new record. Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative . urges its members to help the system avoid a peak demand situation by following a few simple energy conservation practices: Steven R. Noel Boyfriend • Please limit your use of hot water whenever possible. Electric water heater thermostats can be set back a few degrees to save energy consumption. • Turn back the thermostat of electric heaters/furnaces a few degrees. • Use only one major electrical appliance at a time. • Reduce lighting: Tum off lights in rooms not being occupied. Unplug Christmas lighting at bedtime. • Block cracks around window frames or under outside doors to prevent infiltration of cold air. • If you don't have storm windows or doors, cover frames with plastic sheeting. 5/7/83- 12/12/2004 The days we shared were sweet.

II you find the best line in today's deal, you will land your three-no-trump contract. West leads the club queen. South's sequence, an artificial and forcing two clubs followed by three no-trump, shows a balanced 25--27 points. South starts with eight top tricks: The ninth must come from one of those major· suit queens. So, after winning with the club king, South might be te mpted to cross to dummy with a low diamond to the 10, then to finesse , say, in spades . West wins with the ki ng and continues with the club 10 to declarer's ace. Now South overtakes his diamond jack ...tith dummy's queen and finesses the heart queen. But West has that king too and cashes three club winners to defeat the contract. That was a good line that ended unhappily. However, there is better. Alter winning the first trick, declarer should cash his second top club. If East discards, South must take his four diamond tricks ending on the board, then guess what to do. But when East follows suit, declarer takes three diamond tricks. retaining a dummy entry, then eKits' with a club. If East wins this trick , South will take both major-suit finesses. Here, though, West rakes in his winners , but, at trick nine , must lead a major into one of happy South's ace-queen tenaces. 2 36 "Punnv 6 i •• •• i . • l i Whaley's Auto S HE • ; • ~=-=-..~~!Lb~ ~~ Parts St. Rt.68!

It's also made them the leaders in Pro Bowl players. Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens were among nine Philadelphia players chosen for the game, the most representatives voted in for one team since 1998. The Steelers had six Pro Bowlers in results released Wednesday. Joining quarterback McNabb and wide receiver Owens, who had ankle surgery Wednesday and is out for the rest of the regular season and perhaps the playoffs, were tackle Tra Thomas, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, placekicker David Akers, special teamer Ike Reese, and three of four secondary starters: cornerback Lito Sheppard and safeties Michael Lewis and Brian Dawkins. "You just try to encourage all the guys," McNabb said. "It's good to see that Lito. Mike and Ike have made it and get an opportunity to get over there and get a good feel of All-Star play and to say that they've been a Pro Bowler. It says a lot for this organization, it says a lot for those players and it says a lot for this team. "We're going to continue this thing on and continue to open up eyes." The Eagles already clinched home-field advantage for the NFC playoffs. Pittsburgh owns the AFC North crown and had the next-most selections in balloting by players, coaches and fans. The Steelers had six: linebackers Joey Porter and James Farrior, safety Troy Polamalu, center Jeff Hartings, guard Alan Faneca and wide receiver Hines Ward. That led the AFC, ahead of Baltimore and Kansas City with five each, while Indianapolis and New England had four apiece. "We do have a good team and our individual success is a direct reflection of our team," Farrior said. Green Bay, Atlanta and Dallas had four each in the NFC for the game in Honolulu on Feb. 13. There were 25 first-time selections. For only the third time, a set of brothers made the same Pro Bowl. Cornerback Ronde Barber of Tampa Bay and running back Tiki Barber of the Giants were selected for the NFC roster - the first twins to make it. The other brothers were Bruce and Clay Matthews in 1989 and 1990. Sterling and Shannon Sharpe from 1993-95. Peyton Manning set a record in the fan voting and was a runaway choice for AFC quarterback, along with the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Chargers' Drew Brees. "I certainly appreciate it," said Manning, one touchdown pass short of Dan Marino's record of 48 in a season. "I know it's voted on by my peers, by the coaches and the fans, and I'm proud to represent the Colts there." The other Colts on the AFC roster were wide receiver Marvin Harrison, running back Edgerrin James and defensive end Dwight Freeney, the league· s sacks leader with 15. On becoming first Colts defender since end John Dutton from 1975-77 to make it in two straight years, Freeney said, "You want to make it a consistent thing." Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks made it for the eighth consecutive time, joining four others Jack Lambert, Lawrence Taylor, Mike Singletary and Reggie White - who have won a Super Bowl, Defensive Player of the Year and eight straight trips to Hawaii. 'You take it in stride," Brooks said. "We're in a different position. You always want to be humble by the selection, don't want it to take away from the goal at hand.... r m still at the top of my game. I appreciate the league recognizes that." Two consistent Pro Bowlers, Vikings wideout Randy Moss and Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, did not make it, most- Price ...... 5111C Fla..ce u-ace 22ot 4 Cylldlrll;lt. Air Call. . .
