This is tuntsual, Bilancini seid, because by this point, for the police lo arrest the defendant and the prosecutor to pursue the case, there's generally enough evidence to prove probable cause. Felony cases end up going before a grand jury in the Lorain County Common Pleas Court, wliere the jury tvill produce an indictment against the defendant on ttte charges or decicle there isn't enotlgh evidence to pursue the case. Jury trials in the municipal court are rare, Bilancini said, as they are expensive for the parties involved. Most settle or make a plea bargain. Drunken driving offenses, known as an OVI (operating a vehicle while impaired) offense in Ohio law, are misdemeanors initially, but a fourtlt OVI charge in six years or a sixth OVI charge in 20 years becornes a felony. There are also rnandatory driver's license AVON LAKE By Bryan Wroten Avon Lake Municipal Court Juclge Darrell Bilancini isn't the type to tllrow the book at you. Instead, if this is your first time in court, he'll give you a pamphlet. The court, which hes jurisdiction over Avon Lake along with Avon and Sheffield Village, handles misdomeanor cases and small civil claims. Bilancini, who was recently re-elected to his second six-year term as a parl-time judge, holds court Tuesdays and 1'hursdays with the very rere Wednesday trial. Many of the people who come to court are there for the first time, Bilancini said, and they're usuaily confused about their rights and what they need lo do. That's where the pampltlet comes in. "My job is to make sure they know what's going on, they know what they're doing and tlley make an irtformed plea," he said. Speeding, failing to stop at a stop sign, disorderly conduct and some local building and housing cocies are examples of misdemeanor violations. Tlre ones he sees most often are driving with a suspended license, drunken driving and theft. "There's more domestic violence than I thought when I was going into this six years ago," he said. Felonies go to the Lorain County Court of Common Ploas, but sometimes they begin in the municipal court. If a burglar is caught and charged, the case may come nrst to the municipal court where Bilancini will determine if there's probable cause for the clrarge and to set the defendant's bond, wlriclt would be a personal bond, a surety bond provided by a bortdsman or caslt bond. suspensions for OVI chargos, not just convictiorts. Recently, Bilancini had a 59-year old retiree come into his court for a first-time drunken driving charge. The man had gone out, liad a few too many beers ancl then drove ltome. Jn the course of driving home, ttre dofendant drove his BMW off the road and got it stuck. The rnan then walked Ilte last two blocks to his lrouse. The next morning, police came to his house. Tlte defe::d.ant had no atlorney and pleaded guilty, as the evidence was all tliere. The first OVI conviction carries a three-day mandatory stay in jail, but Bilancini instead sent hirn to 72 hours at a driving inlervention program, at the defendant's expense, as an alternative for jail linJe. Bilancini also gave the nlan some driving privileges to drive to thu pharmar.y for medication and for medical appC)tlltnlents. "Ho was kind of the ideal first offense DUI," Bilancini sairl, reforring to tlio defendanl's deJneanor. The conditions for a second OVI offense are slricter, as they carry 10 days of mandatory jail tinie and require an assassmenl lo determine if the person has an alcohol or drug problem. The person's lic:ense can be suspenrlecl for one to times, even while lhe person is driving. The court also uses an anklo-monitoring device, vvhiclt is required for a third OVJ offense, or earlier if the court believes the defendant Iras a problem, and in domeslic violence cases where alcohol appears to be a contributing factor. The monitor measures alcohol levels in tho wearer's sweat, records the measurement and then transmits the rendings to a computer set up at tlte person's home, which then sends the readings to a monitoring company. "The likelihood of a person (wearing an ankle monitor) drinking is not that great," Bilancini said. "Tlley know they're going to get caught," Sentenc.ing sonleone for drunken driving can be difficult, he said. On one hand, someone drinking and driving is putting other people's lives at risk and should be sentertced accordingly. On the olher hand, if a person is sent to jail, he said, lre considers if tlrat person nlay lose a job and if a family depends on him or her. "I'm a trusting person," Bilancini said. "I give them the benefit of the doubt. For the most part, it works out." Following our tirne witlr Bilancini, our class graduated from tlte academy. We have no new powers to arrest, detain or questionyou — tlrotrgh J will still ask plenty of questions — so don't worry about that. In fact, tlle only thing you have to worry about is running into one of us and Iraving your ear talked off about how great an experience this was an(I how you should sign up for next year's academy. '1'he Commttnity Police Academy was fun, from the 1'iring range to driving the police cruiser, and incredibiv informative, like our sessions on the detectives bureau, cirugs and the county coroner.

Ever since the Civil War, Ohioans have supported a state plan to thank military veterans for their service througli a cash borms progrant. Ohio voters in 2009 approved a statowide bond issue. It authorized tlte stale to sell bonds to raise $200 million for a special round of bonuses for veterans. The bonuses are for distribution lo veterans of the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan ivar eras. Many efforts have been made to alerl veterans to the bonus prograni. To date, it appears that nearly 90,000 veterans have yet to receive the bonuses that Ohioans want them to have. The bonuses include $100 per month, up to $1,000, for service in any of the three war zones; also, $50 per month, up to $500, for service anywbere else in the world for the X.jV~ EYE ON COLUMBUS By Matt Lundy State Representative sanre period of time.

Agenda leads to nation's decline To the Editor; Atlieistic/agnostic agenda failure I would like to say to Mr. Bliss and others who have like-minded beliefs, you are entitled to your opinions as well as your constitutional right to ex- press those opinions, but history tells us the negative consequences of your agenda, and yottr actions to suppress our constitutional right to express our religious beliefs publicly. Despite the advancernent of our country's status since our nation was fouuded, your agenda is one of the major contributions to the decline of our nation economically, socially and spiritttally; as evident with the rising crime rate, abortions, lack of moral values, higher unemployment, greed (not just corporate greed), rising lack of respect among some of our young people, and so on. This has become nrore prevalent in the last 50 year (whicli started with taking prayer out of schools). Another thing is schools (especially colleges) only give one perspeclive (the liberal perspective) witlrout giving the opposite perspective, An example of this fact is schools only teaclh evoltction and neglect intelligent design (tlre ACLU is actively lrying to prevent this perspective). Allaiv tlte studeuts to examine botlr perspectives and decide for themselves anci really learn. Tlre same can be said about the true history of our nation. The ttltintale goal of the atheistic/agnostic agencia is to elitninate God from all areas of our countrv, anci when that happens we all understand what the consequences will be to our nation. It's time for Christians (of all denominations) and Jews to speak ttp/stand up to this agenda publicly (wriling letters to newspapers) and pray fervently for our nation. Tony Cardillo Avon Lake One nation under the Constitution To the Editor: An open letter to Tony Cardillo Mr. Cardillo, you need some Itelp understanding what the language of the First Amendnrent really meai~ s. My first suggestion to you is to consult witlt a constitutional attorney to find oul wlrat establishing religion in [he Frist Amercdment is all abaut. Someone once said a long time ago that "as long as there are examinations, there will be prayer in schools." But it will be "in secret," as is nrentioned in Christian scripture. No government employee can preach, pray or proselytize tho public in government buildings. A possibin exception could be in the building is rented out for the group's own speaker and audience. Yes, a 2004 data collection by CIA.org does sey 2.4 percenl of U.S. citizens (2.4 percenl is quite a bit higher than your "a little over 2 percent) are atheists. Taken out of context, niany unchurched poople prefor to be identified as "nonbelievers" or "agnostic' rather than the word that many believers have referred to consistently in a very negative liglrt. CIA.org also reports that 70 percent of Japan is athelst, wliich could go a long way toward understanding why Japan lias outperformed the U.S. in math and science. American Humanist Association, American Atlteists, Center For Inquirer, Humanist Perspectives (Canadians), and others consistently report about 15 percent of the U.S. are alheist, with that trend on the rise. Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Antericans United for Separation of Churcli and State, is an excellent source of information on this topic. And yes, Rev. Lymi is an ordained Christian nrinister. The Pledge of Allegiance was fine witlr its sec:ular wording. However, we are not, and nover liave been, "one nation under God." We have altvays been "one nation under the conslitulion! ° George O. Bliss Avon Zilka maintains good working relationships To the Editor: The voters in Avon Lake recognize that Greg Zilka is a man of honesty and integrity, sinc:e they Itave seen fit to reelect liim to Avon Lake Citv Council for over 25 vears. Greg has dentonstreted leadership and fiscal responsibility and ltas certainly earned our respect and support. He has maintained a good working relationship with other members on council and, as a result, the city has been running smoothly for many years. Please join us on Dec. 0 in supporting an outstanding individual by electing Greg Zilka mayor of Avon Lake, Eileen and Dotr Wozniak Avon Lake Vote Zilka on Dec. 6 To The Editor: On Dec. 6, there will be a runoff election for mayor of Avon Lako between lhe incumbent mayor, K.C. Zuber and the cttrrent City Council president, Greg Zilka. Each candidale has done a good job in presenting their respective credentials to Avon Lake voters. In deciding wliom to vote for, we voters have to consider those credentials, as well as wlrat the future holds and-who is besl prepared to deal with that future. The next two years will be extremely challenging in terms of the city dealing witlt significant cutbacks in state fiutding and eliminalion of the estate tax. Greg Zilka has served on city council for 26 years, 14 of those years as city r.ouncil president. He has been instrrmientel during that entire period in balancing city budgets during good times and bad timos. Dealing wftlt the financial challenges facing the city over the next two years and beyond requires complete cooperalion between the mayor and city council. Greg Zilka ltas an excellent relationship with his fellow council members that will carry over into liis role as mayor. Mr. Zuber has a spotty and sometimes contentious relationship witlr various members of City Council. I believe that it is extremely iniportant to elect the candidate who is the most likely to conduct the city's business rvith minimal friction with city council. That candidate is Greg Zilka, and I ask Avon Lake voters to join with me in electing Greg Zilka as the next mayor of Avon Lake, Tim Maloney Avon Lake Fabulous Learvrood event To the Editor: On Nov. 14, the fabulous staff and students at Learwood Middle Sclrool hosted their annual Tribute to Veterans.

Rescued wornan confesses setting Trade Winds apartment fire SHEFFIEL-D LAKE Bv John Edwards The fire that started in apartment 10-B of the Trade Winds apart,-nents at 890 Harris Road on Nov. 41eft families and occupants of 12 apartments in need of a place to stay while the estimated $100,000 in damages to the building are repaired, and tho woman tvho was rescued by ffrefighters using a ladder is in county jail after admitting to police that sho started the fire in an attenipt to ltarm herself. Jessica Wargo, the wotnan who was rescued and subsequently transported to Mercy Regional Medical Center, and then life-flighted lo MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland for treatment of severe scnoke inhalation, was in Lorain Municipal Courl Thursday. Sheffield Leke Prosecutor David Graves said Wargo, who waived a preliminary hearing and was bounci over to the Lorain County Grand Jury on a feloity charge of aggravated arson, also had her $100,000 casli or surety bond reduced to $50,000. At about 9:40 a.m. on Nov. 4, the Sheffield Lake poJice and fire departments (plus several neighboring fire departments that automatically give mutual aid for apartment fires) responded to a fire at the Trade Winds. Sheffield Lake patrolman Jason Molda was following up on a report of a burglary in Apartment B-9 at the'IYade Winds when he heard a sntoke detector alarm in Apartment B-10, then noticed smoke seeping ottt bolotv tlie door. Melda left the building, saw smoke coming from a window of the lhird-floor apartrnent B-10 and immediately radioed the dispatcher to alert the Sheffield Lake Firo Departmeut (SLFD) and otlier officers tvlto tvere on station. The Slieffield Lake Police Depertmenl (SLPD) and Slieffield Lake fire station are jttst across and dotan Ihe street from the Trade Winds at 009 Harris Road, Police Chief Larry Shepherd and palroltnan Jared Grenn came to the scene and helped Melda evacuate residents froni tho 12 apartments in building B, bul Wargo, 27, remained inside and cotdd be seen looking ottt a bedroom wincfotv of Apt. 10-B. SLPD Capt. Tony Campo reporled thal Braclley Norton, a Trade Winds maintenance employee rvho lives in Apl. 10-B and said he tvas Wargo's boyfriend, slaled that slre was still inside 10-B and gave Itis kny to Shepherd and Green. Wargo had been in Itis sisler's aparltnenl. C19, as she was tlie live-in manager nnd he tvas about to begin work for the day. Sltepltord and Green went back inside and unlocked the door. Sheplterd noted that upon opening the door lte saw flames on or near a sofa in the living room just inside the door. The flames then quicklv engrdfed the room and Shepherd and Green were forced oulside. 1Nhile the SLFD crew enterecl the bttilding to clouse the fire, the Sheffield Villege Fire Dopartmenl arrived al 9:49 a.cn, and immediately pul a ladder up to the smoking tvinclow cvhere Melda had lasl been seen. Melda was rentoved front tho window via the ladcler at 9:53 a.m. and transported to Mercy. Tlre fire was put out by 9:55 a.m., and firefighters left the scene at 10:48 a.m. after cltecking for extensions of the fire in other parts of tlie building. Campo, SLFD Ll. Bill Langin and Stete Pire Marshal erson investigalor Jeffry Koehn then began to investigate the cause of the blaze. Campo's report says the metal veneer on the door of 10-B tvas partially melled from the inlense heat; tlte cottch was completely gulted, tvith only the ntetal frame surviving. Campo roported that Langin and Koehn determined Ihe fire had begun on, or near, the couch and Koehn observed what appeared to be a"pour pattern of somo type of accelerant" on the living room r.arpet ancl renioved carpet samples to be tested for accelerant. They also fottnd a nearly empty can of lighter fluid on top of a refrigerator iu the kitchen. Campo interviewed Norlon later that afternoon at the SLPD station and asked Norton aboul the lighter fluid. Norton said lie had filled Itis Zippo before leaving tlie apartment and ltad left the can almost half full. Norlon denied any knotvledge of or involvement in the fire in his apartment and stated that IVargo haci talked of coniniitling suicide in the past but lie ltacin't thoughl she was serious. Norton told Campo lhal his relationship wiltt 1Vargo "tvas not wurking out" and that be had asked her to ntove out. Norlon reportedly seid lie thought Wargo had been pac:king her things in the apartment after he left to start tvork. In a rec:orded interview, Wargo is reporled to have told Campo that she had slarted the fire by placing a lit lighter into a laundrv baskel bec:ause "she tvanted to end it all," but denied using any lighter t7uid or other accelorant. Sho told Campo that after lighting the I'ire slle just tboughl eboul lier two children, tvhom she had left in custodv ot their falher in the Lisbon, Dltio, area when she moved lo Sheffield Lake.

"As more homes have been built and businesses opened in Avon, the millage rate was decreased (by the county auditor) so that the levies would still only bring in $2.5 million: • According to Zeman's estimation, a combined levy renewal rate would be approximately 3.2 mills. "So each homeowner is paying less for these levies than they did when the levies were originallypassed, by almost 26 mills,"Zeman said. Tho $1 million levy expires in 2012 whilo the one lhat collecls $1.5 million expires in 2014. If residents were to approve of the combined levy renewal, Zeman said the levy due to expire in 2012 wotild only collect for 10 years, not 11. "(We are) foregoing a year of collection (by combining the levies)," he said. "As the district grow, there was a need for incrementel levies," Board President Kevin Romanchok said of the frequency of levy requests in the past years. "Taxpayers are paying less on these (levies) than when they originally passed," Zeman edded. 1'he combinecl levy would be approximately 3.2 tnills, which residents are alreacly payiug, according lo Zotnau's estimations. "That probably c:ould be lower," Zeman said, noting the auditor's determination could be different. Ultimately, tlte baard approved the resoltrtion to have the auclitor certify the ntillage for the combined levv. Boerd members will need to decide whetlter to place the combined levy request on the March 0 ballot sourt. The cleadline to place the request ott the ballot is Dec. 7. The next regular board moeting is sehedulecl for Dec:. 13.

Here's a breakdown of the different types of assistance dogs amd what they can help with. Service dogs: These dogs are specially trained to help people with physical disabllllies due to multiple sclerosis, spinal corcl injuries, Parkinson's ciisease, chronicarthritis and many olher disabling conditions. They help by pedorming tasks their owler cannot do or has trouble cloing, like carrying or retrieving itenls, picking up dropped items, opening and closing doors, turning lights on ENI®R Dear Savvy Senior, Can assistance dogs help seniors with physicallimitations? My mother, who's 60, has progressive mulfiple sc/erosis and I'm tvondering if an assistance dog could help make her life a little easier. — Dog Loving Linda Dear Linda For people with disabilities and certain medical conditions, assistant clogs can be fantastic help, not lo mention they provide great conlpanionshipandan invaluable sense of security. Here's what you should know. Assistance Dogs While most people are familianvith guide dogs that help people wllo are blind or visually impaired, there are also a variety of assis- andoff, assisting with chessingand undressing, helping with balance, household chores ancl more. Hearing dogs: For those who are cleaf or hearing impaired, hearing clogs can alert their owner to specific sounds such as ringing telephones, doorbells, alarm clocks, microwave or oven limers, sn oke alarms, approaching sirens, crying babies or when someone calls out their nanle. Seizure aled and responsedogs: For people with epilepsy ur olher seizure disorders, these dogs c'an recognize the signs that their owner is going to have a seiztlre, and provicle Ihenl wilh aclvance warning, so he or she can get to a safe place or take nledication lo prevent the seizure or lessen its severity. They are also trained to retrieve nledications and use a pre-programnled phone lo call for help. These dogs can also be trained to help people with diabetes, panic attacks and various other conclitions. Finding a Dog To get an assistance dog, your mom will need to show proof of her disability which her physician can provide, and she'II have to complete an application and go through an interview process. She will also need to go and stay at the training facility for a week or two so she can get fanliliar with her dog and get Iraining on how to handle it. It's also important to understand that assistance clogs are not for everybody. They require tinle, nloney, and care.

And if you're fortunate, you can look around your Thanksgiving table and see several generations of your family. Of course, as you know, many types of cohesiveness are involved in knitting a family together. But one connection that frequently gets ignored, at least in terms of family dialogue, is the financial linkage between parents and their children on one hand, and these same parents and their parents on the other. So ifyou find yourself in this "sandwicli" group, it may be worth considering your financial position. If your children are very young, you might want to start by emphasizing the importance of three separate concepts: saving, spending and sharing. If you give them an allowance, or if you pay them to do some minor tasks around the household, you can encourage them to put the money in three separate containers. The "spending" jar is for them to use as they choose, the "saving" jar is to be put in some type of savings or investment account, and the "sharing" jar is to be used for contributions to charitable causes. You can extend the spending, saving and sharing themes by encouraging your kids to spend f•1;1: 1,'11 ~' Y~ ,` • ~-rC ~-t ~ t ..° ~ II9rI ~i~ ,. ap~~ ~ hanke,avi ~f~~ .. `r•'~;'~, . , F'~~•~r~~i~ ri in- •.t>,IIImllIn'.f ~ completed at least 75 real estate transactions for their clients. The typical full tin7e agent will need about three to five years of experience to complete 75 or more successful sales transactions. Less than 3 percent of Realtors have earned the CRSt The E-PRO is a training progranl presented entirefy "on-line" to certify that the real estate agent as an Internet Professional. This course stresses tfie ability of a Realtor to properly communicate on line with buyers and sellers. There are very few local agents who have earned the e-PRO designation. The SRES designation shows that a Realtor has taken the time to learn niore about the special needs of senior citizens. The purpose is to recognize the special needs of niaturing citizens wfien deciding how to handle what is probably their largest financial assee. SRES agents have taken the tinie to learn to be a senior's real estate specialistand counselor. There is only one team whom has earned all five of these designations who specify our market area as a priniary niarket of interest. Call the Kodger Team to understand why these designations have resulted in superior customer satisfaction.

Now that is abotlt two months of work for an experienced Realtor, but at least you would know that the agent with the ABA is not brand newt The GRI designation is held by a number of agents. These agents have had special training in residential real estate principles and practices beyoncl the minimuni State required courses. The CRS designation is considered the highest designation that can be earned by a residential Realtor. Courses covered jndude marketing, listing strategies to n ore effective pricing, prornotion and negotiating. Conipletion of this designation generally requires the completion of four two-day courses and having successfully /. x these issues with your children. It's unfortunate, but true: People are sensitive about money and often don't want . to talk about it. You rnay find that you need to be persistent, especially if your parents are getting on in years. Perhaps you encourage them to consider their current position, and what planning might need to be considered. Do they have accounts in a local bank? Where are their investments held? Do they have a financial adviser? Have they worked with legal professionals on any arrangements? If your parents liave expressed interest in leaving a legacy or passing assets to family members, you n7ight consider encouraging them to seek assistance from the appropriate professionals. After all, if something were to happen to your parents without thenl having made the proper arrangements, their wishes may not be carried out. So this Thanksgiving, as you think about the value of yourfamily, you niight take some time toconsider issues that need to be addressed. It may take time and diligence, but when it comes to your loved one's wishes and well-being, it's probably worth the effort. This is a paid advertisement by Bob Brooks of Edward /ones. ~.~~li .,.->' / . ,x' ~i1 I./; f Later, when your kids are older, and can earn money by babysitting, mowing lawns or working part-time, you can further encourage good financial habits by offering to match their contributions to a Roth IRA. And be sure to discuss the different types of investments available; they niay enjoy learning about the ways in which they can participate in the financial markets. Above all else, talk to them about the importance of developing good financial skills, and how these skills will play a part in yourfamily's overall well being. Now, let's turn to your parents. If they're elderly, you may find that talking to the,m about financial issues may be considerably more challenging than talking about wisely, watch how their savings grow and feel pride in the work done by the charitable groups their dollars support. We all know that one of the top pieces of information that consumers would like to have in order to decide which agent to use isto know each agent's real estate history. It is not a simple issue because Realtors come and go in our business and all have different previous career histories. It is not easy to become a Realtor as that step alone reqtlires significant study and a passing grade on the Ohio real estate agent test. Once the state of Ohio recognizes an individual as an agent, that person becomes a Realtor(r) by joining the National Association of Realtors. There are about 500 Realtors who have desigriated our market area as their primary service area. Each of these Realtors is required to take 30 hours of continuing education every three years to maintain their Ohio license to practice the real estate profession of assisting buyers and sellers. Some of these agents have taken additional time out of theirschedules and spent the effort to obtain advanced real estate training and education in order to better serve their real estate clients. When you decide it is time to hire a Realtor, you would do well to understand the meaning of the following clesignations. The ABR designation is held by nearly 120 agents. It is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council to those who have completed a 16-hour course and fiave ~ t ',sWC "~r :~ ~ >~. ~I~'4'~`,`&.. .}, g~ ; r l,h ,r :r. h rly I r.II .tul. ,11 I dr r•. ,, i , :•.. u• o r rs ,r,rt :n r:, u ii nv.

Nearly everyone has a last nrinute holiclay shopping horror story to te.11. Bo it a late-season grab for a clriltl's must-have gifl or fighting fellow procrestinators for a parking spot corne t.lte waning days of lhe season, veteran shoppers have experienced it all. Whilo those vvith tnore experience rnigltt know the tricks of the late soason sliopping lrade, novice procrastinators ntiglit need a few of the following tips to make il tlrrottgh the season tivithout a horror story of their otvn. • Consider online retailers. Shopping online might not be for everyone, but those witlrout niuclt time might want to consider online retailers, many of which guarantee delivery of the item bv Christrnas Day.for orders placed as late as December 20. In addition, sotne retailers even guaranlee delivery if the order is placed by llocember 22, but suclt guarantees often require consumers to choose overnight delivery, ivhich can be costly. Wlren slropping online, if no gifls stand out, consider buying an electronic gift certificate instead. Such certificates can often be deliverod direclly to a loved one's e-mail inbox, and it only takes a cnatter of seconds for the delivery to be made. Though some find this impersonal, nowadays many people would prefer a gift card instead of anotlrer sweater. • Go the food-and-beverage route. One of the worst things about last minnte holidey shopping is dealing with felloiv procrastinators at the local mall. Last minute slhoppers tend to be as short on patience as they are on time. To avoid the malls, last rninute shoppers can give the gift of food or drink for those friends or family members you will be seeing during the hol- ~'~ " 9_: '• ..: ""K,- µg,~ rv ~ ' r•.3I;:. '' ~~ .. iday season. A nice bottle of wine or a collection of gourmat cheeses make tltoughtful gifts, and last tninute shoppers don't need to visit the mall to get tliem. • Consider a monthly giR. As a nice bottle of wine or a package of gourmet cheeses proves, nol all great gifts need to be picked up at tlro niall. A monthly gift like a magazine sttbscription or a cnembership to a monthly club (i.o., "Pastry of the Montli") are gifts that keep on giving all-yoar. Late-season shoppers will find lhese options especially appealing as they can almost always be ordered in just a few minutes, whetlrer it's over the phone or via tlte Internet. • Don't abandon the mall entirely. Tliough procrastinators are in no danger of becoming extinct, most people do get their Iroliday shopping done well in advence of Christmas Day. As a result, truly last rninute shoppers tnig}tt find ttre mall isn't so crowded on Christmas Eve. Wbile the pickings might be slim for shoppers who wait until December 24, the lines may not be as long and the parking lot probably won't be as packed. But keep in mind it will be impossible for a gift purclrased on Christmas Eve to find its way under a tree unless you personally bring it to a loved one. If you can't give the gift in person on Christmas, don't wait until Cliristmas Eve to buy it. • Donate in a loved one's name. If a specific charity is near and dear to a loved one's heart, make a donation in their name. Charities are among the niany organizations that are struggling to survive in the current economy, and your donation migltt go a long way to helping a ceuse your loved one truly supports. , .Jk;~t ~ a' `~ y ~„'"l ... ...

In a reporl on the probability of a wltite Christmas in tho United States by meteorologists.Neal Lott, Tom Ross and Matthew Sittel of the National Cliniatic Data Center (NCDC), five locations had a perfect track record with respecl to providizig tho wltito stuff on Decomber 25. Tho'study exaniined climate normals I'rom 1961 to 1990. Over that period, the cities of Marquette micl Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, Hibbing and International Falls in Nlinnesota, and Stampedo Pass in Washington all produced a white Cliristmas every year. Not sttrprisingly, those who live further north have a much greater chanco of experiencing a tvhile Cliristmas, but not as muclt as one might think. for exatnple, fihns are fond of depicting New York City as a place that frequently sees a white Christmas. I-lowever, according to the aforementioned study, Now York has just a 10 percenl chance of a wltite Christmas. To put tltat into better perspective, the city of Richniond, Virginia, has a 7 percent chance of having a white Cltristmas. Despite the fact that Richmond fs in the soutltern United States, its chrinces of having a wltite Christmas are not al l that much different from Necv York's. What's moro, Ricltmond and Seallle share the same probability, despite Ihe fact that Seattle is located in the Pacific Northwest, a region many are quick to associate witlt winterv weatlter. Perhaps niost surprising vvas the likelihood of I+lagstaff, Arizona, hoving a wlxite Cltrisimas.

Family reunions and holiday parties make the end of the year a favorile for people across lhe globe. One sometimes unfortunate element to the holiday season, ltowever, is travel.

Sltoppers can even visil contmercial airlines' otvn Web sites to see if there are any specials available or any added incentives, such as free lravel miles or upgrados. •• ➢ ook as early as possible, The longer travelers wait to book flighls, hotels or car rentals for the holidays the more likely they are to pay ntore and get loss. As the holidays approach, prices often increase, particularly on flights. What's moru, waiting to book a hotel room could force travelers to stay in less desirable accommodations, while procrastinating on a vehicle rental reservation could find travelers driving cars no other renters wanted. Whenever possible, book travel plans far in advance of the holidays and enjoy the fruits of your early aclions. • Think outside lhe box. During ttie busy ltoliday season, it can pay lo think outside the box. When looking for fliglhts, consider an alternate airport and allow room for flexibility during your search.

In the montlrs leading up to Christmas, one toy always seems to grab kids' attention and become a must-have itom. These could be quirky digital-voiced anfmals or video game consoles. Naturally, children put these gifts on their letters to Santa or wish lists. But as the days wind down to Christmas, manufacturers often cannot nteet the demand for tlre season's most popular item. It's then left to parents to find the toys and gedgels by whatever means necessary. Certain toys tlirouglroul hislorv have caused a frenr.y that results in desperate parents sr.ouring wiped-out toy stores or making Llack-market deals to land lhemselves a hot toy.

'I'herefore. "Larly 13ird Cerlificate" votu:hors wora sold and the aclion rigure ~; Ivere shipperl out a few moulhs lator. 'I'hese ac:tiun figures can still tlnill, with eBay auctiuus bringing in S1,200 and up for figures Ihat once retailed f'or jtrst a fetv dollars. • Cabbage patch Kids (14)8n): lVhtll littlegirl in lho mid-19ttOs clirlu't wnnt a r.hubby-facoci Cabbage 1'atch Kid lo adopl as her very own7'I'he demnnrl for this facl doll becante so l eatud Ihat adults fought oeer them aud price gouging ensued. • 'I'eddy Ruxpin (1985): If kicls vverou't seeking a Cabbage Patch cloll, they rney have ber.n hoping to find a Teddy Ruxpin dnll unrler their tree. 'Fedrly Kuxpin was an anfmatronic bear who interacted with the c:hild an[t lolcl stories. It was based on the animoted figures kids wou!d see at theme parks or nt llteir locnl play areas. Shortages around Ihe hulidays played into frenzied behavior.'1'he doll wns expensive for ils day, r.oming in at aruunc! $68. • 'I'ickle hlo Elnro (1996): "Sesarne Street" fans fell right inlo the hype offered by'fyco 1'uys and Children's 'I'olovision Workshop. Stampedes occ:urred in toy stores, people were injured and reports of extreme price gouging ensued, nll in an el'fort for people to gettheir hends on the giggling, red furhall. • Furby (1998): This creattire reminiscenl of tlhe popular 1980s film "Gremlins" came oul ol' lhe box speaking its own language and slowly learned Gng- lislt over lirne.

Gifts fr®m bad t® worst Great gifts are great for a multitude of reasons, but bad gifts tend lo have s lot in common. 1'he worst gifts are not only a poor fit tvitli the recipient's pur- sonality, lifestyle or interests, but also send a negative or critic:al message. Just plain bad gifts tend to fall into three categories: The useless, the thoughtless and the tasteless. And wlrile the lists of awful itenis for men and tvommr ntay be different, they nevertheless fall into one• of Ihese, diagnostic calegories. If you're considering purchasing gifts in any of thc following four c:ategories for the nran or mon in yaur life, [hinkagain. Clothing:4Vhile this souncls innoc:ent enough, wlion Ihc clothes don't malch a man's style, it c:an he c:onstrued as a suggestian that you don't like what lte wears or want him to up his fashion game. If you don't have a c:lue about whal the n on in your life eclually like and will wear, make anotlier c:hoice, Iiouseholcl bric-a-bracor decorntive e!ements: Ilents in this category inc:ludoevervlbing lrotn ,t ninw clitih rer.k lo arlsy dec:ot' items. Sueh iterns mighl srnd a negative ntessage similar lo new clothes, and many men ure ~ Ir.rri- torial trbotrt tlteir home,s nnd resist oul- side (i.e., feniale) advice on decorrtting. So unless yuu know eN- acily what he wants or needs, go back to thc rirataing board. Sentinienlal itenis: lVhat a it-oman might call "sweet," a mau migltl ccaut to slore in the trash can. If _vou're lernpled to get your husband or bovfriencl that r.ute teddy bear tltat reminds cou of' him, ur f!anuel pajarnas prinlnd with those same leddy bears, forgel it. And forgot the book of sl ~ rupy love poetrc• romaulic: mov ies or T-shirts with sappy sayings. Ile'll be glad you dirl. 1'sy chology or self-he!p rnaterials in any forn or formaU 7'his is perhaps the bigge,l no-no of them all and sands llre biggest "You're not okey" message. So if you're tenipted to bup your guy a buok about improving comntunir.ation skills, 1'irncling a bettcr job or making beltur ttsc of time, don't. Gnouglt said. 1Vhen gifting tronten, we shotrld also avoicl r.c;rtain gills. Appliances: For mosl tvomen, household appliances fall under thc heading of "need" rather Ihan "want," un!ess it is a specialty ilem thal you're c.er!ain she has been yearning for, Lingerie: The principle here is sintilar lo wliy clothes are a bed idea for gu ~ •s, bul can lead to fm more clisastrotrs outcomes. Many tnnn dou't realize that a gil'I of' lingnrie is often accompanied hy an unintended mes- snge. 11 it's too srnall, sho neecJs to lose iveighl. If it's too big, you lhink she's fat. If it's too racy, you don't think slhe's sexy. And if it's too plein, you don't tlrink she's sexy. Simply stated, unless you know the exac:t size and type of lingerie sthe favors or want to ruin any chances of peace on earth during your lioliday season, move on. Jewelry: Here again, unless you know exactly ivhat the wotnan in your life wants, skip it. Not only is jewelry sornetlting that tvomen prefer to c:hoose f'or themselves, it can send a rnessage (i.e., overly romantic or not romantic enough) that men don't realize they're sending. Gym mernbership/fituess equipment: 1'hc big no-no. Under no circmnstances is it wise to present the woman in vour life with a gift whose underlying niessage is "Lose weight" or "Sliepe up." The all-time ivorsl gift for women? A bathroom scale.
