I gaze out the sliding gas doors and remember another day a few winters ago. The blustery wind caused the dry powdery snow to drift across our Ion~ winding lane. We were snowbound on this beautiful cold winter day. Outside the kitchen window, snow lazily draped over the caves. My husband, Wayne, looked like a living snowman as he pushed the small electric snow blower back and forth across the deck. When he finished, he leaned into the wind and headed fu r the bam Our old contrary SN Ford tractor refused to start. Frustrated, Wayne looked toward the snowcovered blade that rested under the big cedar tree. A beautiful doe . caught his eye as she gracefully sauntered along'the fence line· then another and another until I0 deer disappeared into the woods by the pond. As he excitedly told me about the deer, -I could tell the tranquil winter sce ne ·helped to soothe his frustration .. In the house, I could tell th~ tranquil winter sce ne had helped to soothe h1s frustration . · In the house , I read the many Bible verses about snow. My favorite was Isaiah I: 18 (NIV), "Come now, let us reason together," S<I)IS the Lord. "Though your si ns are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." As the beautiful white snow covered the ugly brown weeds and stubhle, the shed blood of Jesus covers our si n when we accept Him as Savior. When we .are si n-bound, His forgiveness brings a ca lm tranquility to our lives. Father, thank You for Jesus, who died on the Cross to cleanse us from sin and make us "white as snow." Amen.

Lynn Olman, R-Maumee, carrying with it support from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The TRAC is an independent panel responsible for overseeing ODOT's criteria-based selection process.

And what a supporting cast. At one point, Jackson asks Col. Richard Johnson to play peacemaker, a curious choice. Johnson claimed to have killed Shawnee tribal chief Tecumseh in the War of 1812. Later, Johnson was vice president and also "cohabitated," as Marszalek puts it, with a black woman and tried to introduce one of his "mixed-race daughters to society." Despite the salacious aspects, Marszalek has written a sober, detailed history that leaves any contemporary comparisons to readers. But having attracted 'the class's attention Professor Marszalek could have dra~'" a fuller ponrait of what life was like back then, in and·out of the White House. More touches of irony and bemusement also would help. (Nicholas Biddle, president of the Bank of the United States, one of Jackson 's targets, is mentioned, but not even a1'ootnote recalls one of his descendants, Syaney Biddle Barrows, the Mayflower Madam .) But the story. as Marszalek sees it, is not so much about sex.

"It (s vital that our region's voice be heard when future highway funding decisions are made," Hollister said. Strickland weighed in again this week with a letter urging Gov. George Voinovich to lend his support to Olman 's biU and correct the "glaring omission" in TRAC's membership. "Qualified individuals from Appalachian Ohio ... need to be appointed to the council to balance the cur- rent membership from metropolitan areas in the state such as Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Youngstown," Strickland wrote. "Our region has significant unmet transportation needs, which, if fulfilled, would attract new businesses to the area, expand job opportunities, improve the safety of travel in the area, and lead to economic growth," the congressman said. Warm winter a mixed blessing Area lawmakers split along party lines on for area highway maintenance Clinton's classroom reduction proposal By KEVIN KELLY Times-Sentinel Staff GALLIPOLIS - El Nino-influenced winter in southern Ohio has saved the Gallia County Highway Department time and money on snow and ice removal, but has still cteated its own share of work.

AFL-CIO leaders craft labor's agenda for 1998 WASHINGTON (AP)- Setting labor's agenda lor 1998, the AFLCIO executive council wrapped up a two-day meeting Friday with plans to urge Congress to broaden health care coverage, increase the minimum wage and strengthen retirement security. The labor federation also intends lo play an aggres.~ive role in the November elections, but first mu~ tight initiatives in several states that would limit political spending by unions. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said those initiatives were an auempllo silence workers' voic· es when unions are increasing orga· nizing activities and reassening their political clout. " We're ready to tight back." he said. "We'll draw energy from these auacks to enlist even more workers and more families" The leaders of the 13 millionmember labor. federation's affiliated unions also held a closed-doors sessian on the Teamsters election scandal to discuss the alleged involve-. menl of the AFL-CIO's No. 2 officer. Labor's $35. million political campaign in 1996 helped trim the Republican maj~rity in the House and drew Candidate Cremeans Continued from page A1 wasn ' I ruling that out. " I have a great line of credit if I want to press that into service., " he said. The first lime he ran for Congress, Cremeans kick-started his campaign with $600,000 of his own money, carried on the books as a loan that was later repaid through political donations. · Hollister, meanwhile, filed a dis~ closure repon showing that she also got off to a slow fund-raising start, but was in better shape than Cremeans. Her campaign had $58,252 in the bank as the year began, and she released a statement saying her total campaign income, which was at $86,000 at year 's end, was now around $100,000. . the ire of business leaders and the .GOP. Last year, labor helped to block President Clinton's request for fast-track authority to negotiate trade deals. Now Sweeney said labor would go to Capitol Hill with proposals to require all business with 50 or more employees to provide health insuran~e for their workers and pay 75 _percent of the premiums. The proposal, which Sweeney said would be sponsored by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass .. would add health coverage for 20 million workero;. Union leaders also will oppose any attempt to privatize Social Security and will work to better educate their members about the retirement system and proposals to change it. At the same time, Sweeney said fabor would support plans to shore up pensions and make them more portable. As for the minimum wage, while most unionized workers already earn well above it. the issue lets labor appeal to unorganized laborers and it will press for another raise this eleclion year. just as it did during the 1996 campaign year. The 1996 minimum wage increa~e was passed by Congress over the objections of Republican leaders, and the federation used the issue during the November elections to criticize GOP lawmakers who had opposed it. . . Labor tilled the airwaves with issue ads critical of Republicans and tmined hundreds of organizers to help gel the vote out for Democrats, and the federation plans a comparable campaign this year. Sunday, February 1, 1998~ · A.fter 'frenzied' wee·k, Lewinsky going back to California for visit By PETE YOST Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON- With no deal for Monica Lewinsky's cooperation in sight, her lawyer said Saturday they would head back to California in the coming week. Prosecutor Kenneth Starr said he was "moving forward trying to gather the facts." Ms. Lewinsky's auomey, William Ginsburg. said he was "not trying to send any messages" to Starr with their impending departure. " We're all tired" from a frenzied week in Washington. he said, pledging to remain active in the case. Ginsburg said Lewinsky wanted to spend time with her father in California and that there was "no strategy" to leaving, planned for sometime next week. " It's just a young lady who wants to see her father," he said. "Every 24year-old girl needs to have a break. " Starr went to his office for another weekend of work and said he was "moving forward trying to gather the facts ... Beyond that, he declined ·to give details. Ginsburg said that absent a deal between Ms. Lewinsky and prosecutors.

WASHINGTON (AP)- Republicans warned Saturday that President • t Melgs res areas Contlnued from page A1 · suggested. Not all primitive roadside rests are on the list to be closed, she explained, adding lhat the targeted roadside rests are generally located in refl)ote areas, have other problems, including frequent vandalism, or cannot be easily upgraded lo comparatively modern flush -type facilities. "People just tear things up," she said. A series of open 'house public meetings are being held oonceming the proposed closings. A meeting on the state Route 7 roadside rest in Crown City, Gallia County, will be held Thursday, 4-6 p.m. at the ODOT garage near Gallipolis. The first public meeting was held last Thursday in Marietta concerning the picnic area on stale Route 60 between Marietta and Devola. That site has no restroom facilities. · "None of these are cast in stone," she said. At one· time Ohio had 270 rest . areas, she explained, observing that the number has been whittled down over the years. The ·state currently maintains 61 primitives at a cost of more than $1.5' million per year. The roadside rests on slate Route 7 at Kanagua and on U.S. 35 near Bidwell are not targeted for closure, she said. The passage of H.B. 210, ODOT's biennial budget bill, gave the department direction to study and develop a four-year action plan to maximize the efficiency of tax dollars spent on the slate's rest area program. As a result of the study and in an effon to conserve funds, ODOT proposes closing or transferring ownership of 45 of its 61 primitive rest areas around the state. Clinton's forthcoming 1999 budget and its $100 billion in new domestic programs would reignite a push toward big government just as federal surpluses are in sight. Hoping to counter that argument, officials familiar with Clinton's spending plan said Saturday it would reduce the government's civilian workforce next year to I ,824.000 employees. That is 315,000 workers fewer than when Clinton took offic.e in 1993 and the lowest level in · almost four decades. Clinton was ready to unveil his · $1.7 trillion spending blueprint Monday, a plan that claims the first balanced budget in 30 years. The president says his proposals to ease access to Medicare and child care and boost eilucation. biomedical research and other programs are all paid for. The plan claims a $9.5 billion surplus next year and a huge $218.7 billion in surpluses through 2003. according ·1o Democrats who spoke on condition of anonymity. . Even so, Republicans said they believed Clinton and congressional Democrats would end up spending the extra money - a theme they are likely to emphasize all year. "They see a surplus and it burns a hole in their pocket ... Jim Nicholson. chairman of the Rep~blican National Commiuee. told conservatives Saturday at a conference in Arlington, Va. "We see a surplus, and we want to give it back with a down payment on .the debt and with tax cuts for American families." In Saturday's GOPradio.response to Clinton's weekly broadcast address, Rep.

The While House refuses to release logs showing the various occasions Ms. Lewinsky went to the White House and who authorized her entry. The New York Times and The ·Washington Post have reported that she was inside the White House on Dec. 28 and mel with the president. The White House refuses to con: firm or deny those reports. Ginsburg declined to comment on Ms. Lewin· sky's reported Dec. 28 visit to the ·While House. Ginsburg played down the signif· icance of items Ms. Lewinsky received from the president, telling ABC "they're ashtrays, they're a sleeve of golf balls, they're things that just don't add up even if you think there are a lot of them." He also referred 10 a souvenir h•t purchased in Martha's Vineyard. Asked whether Ms. Lewinsky had received a dress from Clinton, Ginsburg replied, "Unless you consider a long T-shirt a dtess. the answer is no." Ginsburg cast doubt on the truthfulness of Linda Tripp. a onetime friend of Ms. Lewinsky who secretly taped their conversations. The lawyer denied Tripp's 'assertion that she had ol(erheard Ms. Lewinsky in a 2 a.m. phone call with the president in November. · Ginsbu'tg's comments infuriated New York book agent Lucianne Goldberg, a friend of Tripp who threatened to release audiotapes of her own September conversations with Tripp about Ms. Lewinsky's alleged affair with Clinton.

If you buy a 500 gallon tank from our competition at $1,200 and that is what they charge for the tank, that means you own the tank. If someday a valve QOE!S bad·on that tank, it will cost you several hundred dollars to have the tank pumped out and a new valve put in. The owner of the tank will bear these expenses. If you have a tank leased from Rutland Bottle Gas, these repairs are free, up to and including replacement of the tank if necessary at no cost to you, the customer. Call our competition and verify what we say about the tank if you own it If you buy propane for one year from our competitor at 59.9e and pay $1,200 to buy the tank (which is required to get the price of 59.9e) you will have $1,559.40 in your propane for the first year if you use 600 gallons. This equals to paying over $2.59 a gallon for your l?ropane instead of 59¢. , If you use 900 gallons of propane under the same program, you would have spent $1,740 which equals $1.93 per gallon.

The Raiders' 54-44 victory gave them their first three-game win streak of the season. It also gave them their tirst sea,on series sweep of the Ironmen si nce the clubs began playing each other in 1992. The Raiders concentrated on tak. ing the ball to the hoop to the degree that 32 of their 54 field-goal attempts - nearly three out of live - were taken within a si•-foot radius of the basket. Their 46.9% shooting at point -blank range resulted in 30 points.

Super Bowl hype. For two weeks, I turned off any, show which auempled to cover any aspect of the game. Whenever I heard the words Packers, Broncos, Elway or Favre, I would quickly turn to the History Channel. After all, that's where th.ey only discuss the past. I fmally turned to the game when it was time for the coin toss. I guess I missed all the important questions. You know, did Favre really cry after watching lhe movie "Rudy"? His answer has a great deal to with reading a zone defense. Of course, how about what kind of tree John Elway would be if he were a tree? Just I few of the pertinent questions I missed by turning the channels. The coverage wasn't this b~J(l years ago. Thday, however, it is redundant to the point of absurdity with these new sports channels. Fox, ESPN and CNNSI all trying to beat the other on ludicrous and useless information. To be honest, I was bored to distraction with the over-exposure given to this game. I am happy to say that the game was great. I found that refreshing when I consider the other Super Bowls the Broncos have attempted to win. It took awhile, but they finally gave us a good one. I found it hard to believe that the Broncos were an 11-1/2 point underdog at ganie time, After all, these two teams had been the best in their conferences over the past two years. A Jacksonville upset prevented this matchup last year. Did anyone else notice that Denver had been running the ball all year .behind Oavis? Did anyone remember that the Colts were one of the teams to beat the Packers? They also scored over 40 points again~! the Packers' defense. But nothing warms my heart more than seeing all the experts so off with their predictions. I always wonder how they can put these teams under a microscope for two weeks and still be so wrong about the outcome. It seems that football is far more predictable than baseball. Who would have predicted the Indians in the World Series last October? Everyone assumed the Packers would be in the Super Bowl. Some Green Bay fans even figured they would go .undefeated this season. That's wbat makes this upset even sweeter. · Denver's game plan was superb. It was also nice to finally see the AFC win again. The Broncos' victory means the AFC has bragging rights as the best conference in football until next January. That must really drive NFC players and fans nuts. NFC players will probably take the Pro Bowl seriously for the first time in years. Change is good! Denver 's win is the best thing that could happen to football in a long time. I can't wait to hear the excuses of ESPN 's Sports Reporters on why they failed to predict a Broncos win, or how they did, but we weren 't listening. For those of you who weren't around for Super Bowls III and IV, the world felt the same way when the Jets defeated the Colts and the Chiefs embarrassed the Vikings. These wins helped put an end to the old AFL. The Broncos ~in isn't that dramatic, but its effect will be far greater than a Packers win could ever be. 'II · All of you are aware of my love for basketball, so I thought I would ask if any of you would like to join my History of Sports class on a field trip.

First to understand heart disease, the coalition explained that both heart disease and a stroke are considered cardiovascular diseases. Accoroirig to a published report on heart disease by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, coronary heart disease is a disease of the blood vessels of the heart that causes heart attacks. A heart attack happens when an artery becomes blocked, preventing oxygen and nutrients from gelling to the heart. A stroke occurs when not enough blood gets to the brain, or in some cases, from. bleeding in the brain. Some 9ther ~rdiovascular diseases are high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and rheumatic heart disease. The report also states.that there are risk factors also known as habits or traits that make a person more · likely to develop a disease. The risk factors that can be ~ttributed to heart disease are cigarette sm<?king, high blood pressure, hi~h blood cholesterol, overweight, physical inactivity, and diabetes. · Smokers are two to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nQn-smokers. The risk of dying in this manner increases with \he number of cigarettes smoked by an individual each day. Smoking also increases the risk of having a stroke. When a smoker quits the risk of heart disease goes down. Three years after quitting, a smoker who used to smoke a pack a day has the same chance of not developing heart disease as those who never smoked.

Heart Health of Galli a County started iii 'this county as a way to get information to residents about the alarming amou.ni of deaths in the county due to lack of heart health. The Ohio Department of Health began providing certain counties in the state the opportunity to apply for grant funds that could help educatepJunties on coronary heart disease. · . Sin_so;.6allia County is one of the high risk counties for dCaths related to the heart, they were eligible for the grant starting in 1997. Gallia County received their first cardio-vascular risk reduction grant starting in 1997 and again received the grant for this year. . · The mission statement for the Heart Health Coalition of Gallia County is to provid.e a coordinated network of cardiovascular reduction services and education throughout Gallia County. The group would like to coor,dinate a cqunty-wide, community-based heart health ·program to !educe the cardiovascular disease risk in the gepcrallidult population while emphasizing population'-based intervention. Population-based interventions are those that are meant to have long-term effects on, the:llelll,tb.of.a, large segment of the population, not just an individual or small segment of the pQpulatlon.t<·' ~''v~;,>(\. The $30,000 grant that Heart Health of Gallia County received last year went for educational presentations on nutritional health and healt~y holiday eating, an after work fun walk, and a coi!IJI.Iunity assessment su~ey. •... The educational presentations held in August and November of 1997 invited people who wanted to receive knowledge on nutrition and healthy eating to attend a presentation. The presentations allowed more than 90 people to learn how to be a little healthier in their eating habits. A fun walk held in June showed people that walking just a little each day can help in preventing heart disease. Over 130 participants· walked along the Rails to Trails and were encouraged to continue this activity. A community assessment survey distributed during the Gallia County Fair showed that 73.4 percent of the 382 survey participants considered themselves very concerned and conscientious about health and the well being of their family. The survey also concluded that there is an interest in receiving additional services in this county such as weight management, stress management and .fitness/exercisedm. .

Following these prevention techniques will decrease the possibility of death from heart disease and stroke. ' A high blood cholesterol level increases a person's chance at developing heart disease . High blood cholesterol can cause diseases because a buildup of cholesterol gets trapped in the walls of the arteries that sup, ply blood to the heart causing them to harden. This buildup then causes the artery to narrow, slowing or even blocking the flow of blood to the heart. The heart receives less oxygen, weakens the heart muscle therefore causing chest pains. If a blood clot forms in the artery, a heart attack follows possibly resulting in death. Several factors are attributed to the blood cholesterol level - heredity, diet, weight , physical activit y, age and sex. A heart healthy diet that emphasizes eating foods low in saturated fat , total fat, and cholesterol to help lower blood cholesterol is suggested. Figures ~y the Ohio Department of Health show that ·one out of three Americans adults is overweight (over 30 percent over average weight) which increases their risk at developing heart disease, diabetes, hfgh blood pressure, stroke and some form s of cancer. A diet of low-calorie, nutritious foods can help reduce the risks . · Those persons who are physicall y inactive need to get physically active. This means an average of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least fi ve days a week. This physical activity can include walking the dog, doing yard work, actively doing housework, or washing the car. A 15 minute run also has the same effect or a 45 minute volleyball game in reducing the risk of getting heart disease. Diabetes, or high blood sugar, raises the risk of developing coronary heart disease. There is no cure for this-disorder but losing weight and becoming more physically active earlier in life may either preve nt or postpone the effects. To avoid the risks of developing coronary heart disease, the Heart Health of Gallia County encourages people to get educated on heart disease, see th ei r doctor regularly for bi\)Od pressure, cholesterol and dietary check-ups and before starting any diet plans consult with a physician. "A lot has been done in the pas! 20 years but we still need to do more," said Vallee. lnfbrmalion on coronary heart disease is ava ilable thro'ugh the Gallia County Health Department, which can be reached at 446-461 2, through a physician or by reading up on the subject in a loca l library. .. �' ' ' . ., ' ~ ' I .

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McCloud James Murdock used to be a total geek "I had problems with the oppo· site sex, how to attract their allen· tion," he says. "There was a lot of pain and frustration. I thought, ·1 can't be the on ly guy out there e<pe• riencing this."' Four y<ars later, men are actually paying htm to teach his secrets of seduction. Men who are just like he was. "Women had nothing to do with me, and l couldn 't. understand why," he says. "So I went out and looked at successes. I watched others and adopteddheir methods . I real1zed it was entirely different from the way I had be~n doing things." Murdock. of the Brun<. teaches up to 50 New York City men a month in his introductory class. "How to Seduce a Woman ." His methods arc the haute <uisine of a sing les bistro. and Murdock is its . Wolfgang Puck . He docs not meddle with silliness like llirting and pick· up lines. The February issue of Marie Clai·rc magazine relays these tips that Murdock has offered his stu· dents: "Look at everything from the ne~k up, to make her feel comfort· able. Soften your gaze (don't stare). Stand at least 6 feet apart from her - 8 is even better. Let the femal e close the gap. Never touch her." Outside su~h s~icntiftcs. Mur· dock 's message is not dissimilar to that of John Gray, author of the best· se ller " Men , Are From M~rs, ·women Are Prom Venus" (Harper· . I Collins): Men and women commu nicate differently and must under· stand, each other to· eoeKist happily. The key for men, Murdock says, is understanding that women don·, need to be deceived into a relationship .. "Men's behavior is inferior. They think that women are stupid , that they have to trick t6cm into sex. lltc modern woman is hrghly intelli gent.' "' Perhaps so is chivalry. Murdock says he can talk women out of an ythin,e:. even wanting an engagement ring , which is just a "reflex ." And he doesn't end any re lation· ships either. " If she wants a greatcr commitment from me, and I respond by choosing not to offer it , and she docsn ' t communi~ate with me after that. then. by definition , she ha, ended the relationship ..

There were brickmakers, carpenters, farmers, mechanics and so fonh. Following the Civil War there were black doctors and lawyers. one of whom graduated from Yale. There were black owned groceries, barber shops and restaurants as well as stove makers, steamboat · engineers and plumbers. For a time in the late 19th century there was an African-American watchmaker and ~unsmith. " However by the early 1900's many of the highly skilled AfricanAmericans in the city had moved on to larger communities like Cincinnati and Columbus. One could still find here by 1920 quite a number of black owned pusinesscs. There were two hlacksm ith shops- Jesse a~d Andrew Arnold's and the one belonging to Andrew Harris: The finn known as Dills and Viney did plastering, an an fonn that was dominated by blacks in the 1800's. ' There were several black barber shops including those belonging to Misters Hill, Robinson, Holmes and Borden. There were two enterprising young black women ·who opened up before I ~·20 the first beauty shops in Gallipoh.;. They were Jeanette Emerson and Sadie Cousins. Mrs . Cousins' first place of business was in the Ohio Valley Bank building. In 1932 she located her beauty shop in her home at 76 Pine Street and remained in business until sh.only before her death in 1954. Sadie's husband was long time mail carrier William Cousins. Both were highly respected members of the town as was Jeanette Emerson who later became the town's first chiropodist. Her place of b~<siness in the early years was at Second and Locust. In the 1930's she moved to the 700 block of Third Avenue . Surprisingly though there were at least six black owned food relate~ businesses in 1910.

Black owned restaurants in 1920 were run by Levi Campbell, George Hall, Bev Pan· · nell , and Clarence Hammonds. The Alexander family ran a cDotbination restaurant and grocery. In the early 1900's there had been two black owned groceries, Alexander's and one owned by a Joint Stock Company. At the time the Joint Stock Corn· pany was opened, organi zers told the Gallipolis Daily Tribune that black citizens were spend ing too much money on groceries at white owned stores. They felt blacks needed to keep more of their money in the black community. At least 3 generations of the Alexander fami ly were in the food business. h started with Henry in the early 1900's. He was followed by Harry and then by Vernon . The Alexander family built the Masonic buildmg ncar the corner of Third and Pine St reets in 1962.

The continuation of an allied, auack upon a strongly-de fended hili required the establishment of an outpost (OP) in the vicinity. Pfc. Alexander volunteered as the observer for OP where he remained during the resumption of the enemy auack. including heavy mortar and artillery fire and performed liaison tasks. The OP position itself was constantly subjected to extre mely hostile small arms artillery, mortar. machine gun, rille , and gre nade fire . Pfc. Alexander stayed at his post in spite of hazardous enemy fire and without thought for h1s personal safety success[ully accomplished his mission." Clarence Hammonds who had a business on Third Avenue from about 1910 to about 1946, was well known th roughout town. The Gallipolis Daily Tribune said of him: "He will be remembered as the man who never wore a coat. hat or ti c. He always wore ca nvas tennis shoes and usually was carrying chickens.

Davis ' Sunday, February.1, 1998 Sunday, February 1, 1998 Black History Revisited by Sara J. Johnson Sow . By CHARLENE C. GIANNETTI and MARGARET SAGARESE The world of teen-agers has its own sel of rules, and many of these ritual s are a mystery to parents. If you find yourself in frequent power struggles with your teen , the following list may be of help. It suggests 10 ways parent s can unwittingly antagomzc teens. I. Criticize their friends . It 's difficult not to be judgmental when your daughter's latest best friend looks like Morttcia Addams, but try to refrain From negative comments. Instead, make observations. "Marilyn is so preny. she doesn't need to wear so much makeup. What me ssage do you think she is trying to send?" Sue~ statements will get your teen thinking without feeling her choices are being criticized. 2. Invade their privacy. Teen· agers arc notoriously secretive. Many parents, unable to tolerate the cold shoulder, resort to snooping. such as rining through backpacks, eavesdropping on telephone conversations. opening mail. even reading diaries. Spying is unethical and will severely damage your relationship with your teen . If you suspect a· problem. use other methods to get the information. 3. Violate their protocol. These arc the years when your presence can be embarrassing to your child. You can be the chauffeur. chaperone or cook. just keep a low profi le. 4. Ask too many questions. More than one query will be interpreted us the "third dcgrc~." Back ofT and wait for your teen to talk to yo u. 5. Fight over the car radio. You want to listen to Wu- Tang as much as your teen longs for Barry Manilow. View the situation as an opportunity to listen to your teen's musical choices. Another strategy: Turn off the radio and talk . 6. Treat them like bahics. ' 'Comb your hair' " "Sit up straight~" ''Elbows off the table' ' . A younger ch ild will respond to your command. but a teen will rebel. purticularly if you bark out the order in front of his or her friends. 7. Give away their childhood stuff to younger siblings . Tc~ns have one foot in adu lthood and one in childhood. Often they have difficulty giving up childhood things. Nothing will anger a teen more than to have a favorite doll or special game Party on' By BILLIE RAE BATES "The Fun Book" ts published by The Detroit News Simon & Schuster and costs $14.95. h makes so much se nse that Melina Gerosa was a tee n when ' Cyndi · Laupcr sang about g1rls JUSt wanting tp have fun.

So much has been wrinen about cyberporn and dangers on the net that parents are anxious about the~r teens being online . Draw up a list of safety rules for your teen, then trust him or her to follow them. One way to avoid the problem is to keep the computer in the family room where the screen is visible to everyone. 9. Comment on their appearance . Teens are phobic about how they look. An innocuous statement· about clothe s, hair, weight or complexion could be.misintcrpretcd.

Compared to other soil and water conservation or management practices. a spring development requires little detailed engineering design and usually small or simple m~chinery will suffice for construction. A spring development is a very dependable means to insure a water supply, if properly ' constructed. Unlike ponds, which are always a risk as a water supply. very seldom does a spring fail to collect water and store il in a reservoir. However, problems can and do arise at times. Occasionally. a landowner will complain that water will run into the reservoir during wet times. but in mid-summer, the water will stop running to the reservoir. This is a typical problem of sp.ings from a weak water vein or a "wet weather" or intenmittent spring. In this case all that can be done is to insure that no water is escaping the collectiQn system. A spring development can•t make the water vein produce more - but. it can insure that most of the water from the vein is collected and used. Another problem that can occur is an airlock in the transport pipeline. This is a reasonably common problem when a spring is developed with little fall to the reservoir. The problem is compounded when plastic, rather than gaiYanized pipe is used . Plastic line is easily installed. economical and more eas1ly obtained. However. in instances where the spring and reservoir are on nearly the same elevation or in cases where an "even ditch" can't be constructed, the galvanized line is a good bet. By an even ditch. I mean a ditch bottom that doesn't have waves in it. Bumps and low pockets in the ditch will greatly increase a chance of failure in the spring's de~~!opment.

Spring is only 47 days away. however homeowners have calh;,d .!Dy office quite concerned as they see the sprouts ·of spring bulbs pushing through the soil. There is little the homeowner can do except let Mother Nature do her thing. · Most spring bulbous plants can take cold temperatures especially if the flower buds are beneath the soil. When the buds are exposed gradually cooling and warming will pennit later blooming to occur. Quick temperature drops from the thinies or forties to zero degrees or below, without insulating snow cover, may cause plant cell bursting. Flower buds and tips of leaves would have a good chance of dying. Nonmally only one year's bloom is affected. as leaves continue to grow later into the Spring and store food for next year's bulb. Many early daffod1l varieties. "February Gold" & "Jack Snipe" are bred for their February blooms, If we do receive sufficient freezing weather to refreeze the ground three or four inches. homeowners may cover exposed bloom buds with a light covering of mulch or straw.

Spring is just 47 days away 0 tracking the theology of evil of tense excitement, especially in the opening and closing segments. Washington stars as hom1cid e detective John Hobbes who's recently earned kudos for the capture of a demonic serial killer (Elias Koteas). As, the film opens, Hohbes is among the witnesses at the killer's execution. The killer goes to his death unrepentant - and leaves behind a vague but ominous threat. It seems the killer is , indeed, possessed by Satan; just before he dies he passes on the spirit by touching a prison guard. As the film progresses, t~e spirit is passed on and on, each time a character touches another. Thus the vengeful spirit can stalk Hobbes in the guise of literally any one, from a little girl to a fellow cop to a passing stranger. And the only indication of his presence is a penchant. for singing a favorite song - the Rolling Stones' " Time Is on My Side." Well, actually, Hobbes first becomes aware that the evil spirit is alive because additional murders are discovered that copy the methods emploved by the executed murderer. junb~ ., .

By JIM FREEMAN . Sentinel News Staff Along with a new police chief comes a new look for the Pomeroy Police Department. Officers of the department recently began sporting distinctive , black campaign-style hats, of the type associated with military drill sergeants and highway patrol troopers. Police Chief Jeff Miller said the officers preferred that style of hal - sturdy, with kind of a drill sergeant effect "It's amazing the difference the hats have made, the officers are looking beuer. We've gotten a lot of comments ... the officers look better and more professional. It's more of a unifonn-lype of thing," he .sai.d, adding that even bar patrons are complimenting the early mom· ing foot patrol officers. Before now, head gear for Pomeroy police officers usually consisted of a black baseball cap -if anything. Everybody. it seems, wears ball. caps but. as anyone who has been through Army or Marine basic training can attest, the wide. flatbrimmed hal simply demands · attention and respect for the wearer, projecting a "don't-mess-withme" altitude. Miller said the officers like wearing the n<:w hats and like the responses they get from the public.
