Nearly 2,800 systems employees including 700 programmers have been involved in preparing for the year 2000 since 1989.

CINCINNATI (AP) - A city councilman believes gun locks may help prevent accidental shootings and suicides by children and possibly reduce the number of handguns that are stolen and used in crimes. . .. Counctlman Charles ·Wmburn IS proposing that the city give away 5,000 gun locks in a plan modeled after similar programs in at least 10 other cities.

The locks would be given away to gun owners and provided to gun dealers. If a corporati?n will provide $60,000 for the program, the c1ty would provide a matching amount under Winburn's proposaL The idea came about after one of Winburn's friends told him about his gun being stolen at a party and later used in a crime.

People who own property will need three kinds of property insurance: fire, theft and lial~ility insurance. The fire insurance protects the home, possessions and outbuildings against fire, lightning and the srlloke and water damage associated .with them. Even people who rent or do not owri their own homes still need to have insurance on their personal belongings in case of fire or theft. ' Theft insurance ts to protect your property and personal effects in your home, or items with you tf you are away from home, m the event that they are stolen. The third type of essential property insurance is liability insurance. It takes care of losses when someone sues you because of an injury or damaged property in which you are the responsible party - medical payments are included in this type of insurance. It is less expensive to buy these three insurances together under one homeowners policy than it is to buy them separately. Basic homeowners coverage may ·include fire , lightning, windstorm. hail. explosion. riot, aircraft, vehtcles, smoke, vandalism, theft and glass breakage. Broad coverage will also include falling objects, weight oNce and snow, collapse of building, damage caused by a hot water heater or furnace and plumbing and electr.ical wiring. Flood, earthquake and crime insurance must be purchased separately. They are not included in a regular homeowners policy. Everyone's needs are different, so talk with ypur insurance agent to , determine what should be includ~d in your policy. Homeowners insurance rates vary depending on several factors. Your insurance agent will ask these questions to help determine the type of policy and tls premium. What ts the fire-fighting ability in your neighborhood? What is your home made of? What is the length of lime for your policy'? · • How large is your deduct1ble ? (When you make a clatm agamst the fire insurance company, they will requtre that you pay a deductible. Thts means that you must pay the fir st an10unt of the • claim - usually $250. You will also have to pay a coinsurance whtch is a cenam percentage of the rematmng amount - probably 20%,) Whatts the replacement value of the home? How much coverage do you have ? Do you have burglar alarms, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire extingui shers located throughout the house? Your rate may also be calculated based upon the number of claims that the insurance company has paid out recently. · ,. It is important that you have an updated inventory of your house and its contents. A detailed listin g of when items were bought and the purchase price wtll give insurance adjusters a log of items that will need to be replaced. Don'{ rely on your memory to gi ve you a complete list of your possessions after such a traumatic event as ·a house fire. A video tape scanning each roo m or pictures of each·room should be kept in a bank safe deposit box or at another place outside of your home along with the inventory. They wtll serve as proof of what you own in case you need to make a clatm. ---Community Calendar--TUESDAY REEDSVILLE - Eastern Elementary P10 wiII meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the cafetorium.

OCW~ONS ~ll€01!:-..::..-~-o- , South West Norda Eut Pass Pan Pus 2• 3 NT By Phillip Alder Glancing at a magazine promoting walking as the way to los~ weight, I noticed two recommendations: Make the intensity of your walking enough to get your heart pumping, and keep your abs firm, but not so tight that you cannot breathe. So, start with your heart stationary, and be careful not to asphyxiate! Well, let's see if you can stop your partner froni gagging ·or having a heart attack with your play of this deal. Against three no-trump, West leads the diamond jack, East pulling on ·the king. Walk over to the South seat and take charge. North should add one point for his good five-card suit, so he is worth game opposite 15-17 or 16-18. His sequence, a transfer bid followed by three no-trump, offers a choice of games. With only two hearts, South passes, of course. You start with seven top tricks: two spades, one heart, two diamonds (given trick one) and two c lubs. You need . to get the heart suit going, but dummy is shon on side-suit e.ntries. And a 4-2 heart split is more likely than 3-3. So, you should grl\b lhe first Irick (for fear of a spade switch from East) and duck a heart. Let's assume West switches to a spade. Win in hand with the ace, !hen lead your second heart, planning to take the finesse. However, when the king appears·, win with .dummy's ace, cash the queen, and play an01her round to establish your ninth trick. When you must lose a trick while establishing a suit, it is usually bet· ter to lose it as quickly as possible. THAT SHOULD H!\VE BEEN .. v- · '(OUR ~ TOO DESPERI\TE.

Last year's " heat wave" drove up the average daily temperature in Barrow to 17 degrees - remarkably mild for Alaska's arctic fringe, but nowhere near warm enough to melt, or 11ven soften, a pint-of Rocky Road iCe cream. What made the mildness remark~ble was not that it.surpassed a mark for annual warmth which had stood since 1940, but rather by how much - the old record fell by 3 degrees, and the 30-year temperature average was shattered by 7 1/2 degrees. . "To break a yearly record by that amount is really phenomenal," Rick Thoman, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Fairbanks, said Saturday. Average temperature is calculated by averag in g each day 's high aild low readi ng across the entire year.
