VIEW Eledion commercials The Florida Times·Union, jacksonville, 011 President Bush's campaign commercials: If the TV commercials that..llebuted last week are any indication. Americans can expect George W. Bush to run the most positive. Llplifting president.ial campaign since Ronald Reagan . sought a second term 20 years ago. In one ad. Bush assures listeners he understands the nation's entrepreneurial spirit. then adds, "Americans are hardworking, decem. generous people. I'm optimistic about America because I believe in the people of America." Another~ays: "An economy in recession. A stock market decline. A dot-com boom ... gone bust. Then ... a day of tragedy. A test for all Americans. Today, America is turning the comer. Rising to the challenge. Safer, stronger. President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change." ... . Bush may be accused of cheerleading for the nation, but a few cheers are due. The terroris.ts have been beaten back so o decisively that most Americans say national security no longer is one of their primary concerns. The economic slump, which began a year before he took office, has been reversed • and expansion is under way. Bush 's commercials stand i-n stark contrast to John Kerry 's relen:less attack ads. One, for example, recently insisted Bush had removed 200,000 veterans from health care. No veteran benefits have been ended under Bush. In fact, spending for veterans benefits has increased by 27 percent. The ho no mo' I got ta go .. .' · ·Number one with a buflet . on Felony 97 FM. · If you think I'm exaggerating , you're wrong.

"WIC is a win-win program for our moms, children and taxpayers because everyone benefits when moms and children get a better nutritional start in life ." "We have many reasons to celebrate this 30th anniversary because we know WIC works," said Corey Hamilton, chief, Bureau of Nutrition Services.

WIC helps to ensure children's normal growth. reduces levels of anemia , increases immunization rates, and improves diets." Schor and Hamilton agreed that staff working in WIC believes in WIC!

The di splay at S~ecial Effects, a video and pnnri"ng store in thi s vilhige, shows empty beer cans on the floor near an overturned table below dangling legs meant to look like a person who hanged himself. On a nearby table is a shoit, scrawled suicide letter on a piece of notebook paper and another note that's lengthy and printed in a professional manner. . A sign reads, "Contemplating suicide? Let Special Effects give your suicide note that professional look." The head of the state agency in charge of suicide prevention said the display goes too far. "l111s ts Ill temble taste. We have to hope it reflects ignorance." said Michael F Hogan, director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health. ''When suicide takes almost I ,000 lives every year in Ohio - more· than murder or 1-1 IV-AIDS - and when 20 percent of high school students think about stiicide every year, we need messages encouraging life, not death," Hogan said.

She said she never intended for the window to hurt anyone. ·· Goran said she would keep the display up but may add a sign with a suicide prevention hot line phone number.

Standing in waist-deep water in the Maumee River on a rainy day . with dozens of other anglers, the pair caught their share in about four hours Wednesday.

Adoptions take place in the Probate Division of the Court of Common Pleas in the county where: I) the child re sides; or 2) the person seeking the adoption resides; or 3) the natural parent re sides. The first step for step-parents wishing to adopt is the tiling of a Petition for Adoption . The petition requires that information about the identi- . ty and circumstances of the adoption be provided. Normal,ly. the Petiti<Jn for Adoption mu st be served upon the step-child's "other" natural parent. For the adop- · tion to take place. both natura! parents must consent to the adoption in writing. If the "other" natural parent refuses to consent, the adoption cannot take place. There are, however, two exceptions to the rule that the "other'' natural parent must consent to the adoption. If the "other" natural parent has failed, . without justification, to I) communicate with the child, or 2) financially support the child, tor a period of one year _before the .filing uf the adoption pet ition. that parent's consent is not required and the adoption will be permitted to proceed.

We have taken a couple of "road trips" recently, so I took adv;intage of Bossard Library's collection of Talking Books. I read The Beans of Egypt, Maine by Carolyn Chute several years ago. It is about poor and ignorant families living in rural Maine. It seems there are tolks like this in every state and region of the country - uneducated, unwashed, gening by. There has probably been no more authentic voice tor the poor since Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. The Beans are inhred . dirty, and sud. The children dig holes in the yard with spoons; the men bear scars from fighting; ' the women endure. One "tall woman" with "silver feet" ha s ten children with no husband in sight. Neighbor Earlene (not a Bean) becomes involved with two Bean men during her life. Rated "R" for obvious reasons.

The island kitchen allows ease of movement to the nearby dining room. You can relax by the morning-room fireplace with a cup of tea and a newspaper. Opposite the kitchen is a living room warmed by another fireplace. Note the adjoining covered porch. Upstairs are three bedrooms, the smallest of which could serve as a home office or craft center.
