Mistkto. al Christnw By STACY WARDEN If you were kissed under the mistletoe this Christmas season and wondered how that custom staned, the following information may answer your questions. There are many stories, but these seem 1<! be the most popular: One legend about mistletoe is that of the Norsemen. There was once a goddess of love named Frigga. Her son, Balder, was the god of light. He often dreamed of .death. To protect ·. her son, Frigga talked to every living thing and creature, including air. fire, water, and earth, and asked them , n01 10 harm her son. But she had overlooked the tiny mistletoe. ~~-' '~ Loki, god of evil. was jealoUs of ,~,;~ Balder so -he made an arrow;liJhofi! ' '~ mistletoe and gave it to Hoder, the blind . god of winter. Hoder shot it, striking Balder. Balder was dead' All the gods and goddesses mourned. They all tried to bring him back to life . With the power of love, Frigga succeeded. The rears of Frigga turned into berries on the mistletoe. She was so happy that everyone who passed beneath the mistletoe received a token of her love ..:.. a kiss. · When Christianity came and replaced pagan religio.ils, many faiths did not allow mistletoe in their churches. ll was not until later that it became a part of Christmas. Mistletoe today is a symbo! of · Christmas joy. It is unlucky to let it • • fall on the ground. A girl beneath the . ' mistletoe cannot rofuse io be kissed. One who goes unkissed cannot . expect to get dates during the new year. Superstiiions like these, whether . believed or not, add to the fun of Christmas. 20 Y.rs. EKp. • Ins.

More than I00 players toured cafe quarter, as it's called. They played at eight bistros, the boards remaining stationary while the players moved. Lunch and tea were included in the enlry fee, so the cafes made money; and as it was warm and sunny, all play took place outdoors. First prize went to Tony Disley and Rob Charlesworth. (Disley and I were occasional partners while al Newport High School, just up the road from Cardiff. ) On this deal, West made a disciplined .. if somcwhal old-fashioned -- initial pass. But over Di slcy's IWO· spade cue-bid. which showed at least 5-5 in diamonds and anolhcr suit (an unusu al method). West jumped to . game. We ' ll never know if East would have, guessed lo drop I he singleton spade king. because Dislcy sacrificed in five clubs. The defense hc~ an with the spade queen lo East" s ace and another spade. which declarer ruffed. Disley continued with his sole heart. Correctly, West won with lhc ace . Then. thinking it couldn 't hurt. she exited wilh a heart 10 dummy·s king . A grateful declarer ran the club 10, played a club lo the king and ace, returned to dummy with a trump. and picked up the diamond king for his contract. If ~est had exiled with a spade at trick four, stranding declarer in his ban<!, she and her partner would have been first, not second. 'Qle·biggest winner of the day was Bol!llth Cymru, a charity that treats children with cerebral palsy. It .

Spewing out a majority of the mercury found m Ohio s air the state's coal-burning power plants are likely the cause of recent fish consumption warnings issued by state officials, according to a report released yesterday. . According to the report from the National Wildlife FederatiOn (NWF), 55 percent of the mercury r~leased into Ohi?'s air cornc:s from ~e state.'s coal-burning power plants mcludmg Arnencan Elecmc Power s Gavm and Kyger Creek plants. "What this means is that Ohio's coal-burning power plants are among the worst polluters in the Great Lakes region," said Tim Eder, one of the report authors and manager of NWF's Great Lakes Water Quality. . He linked the ~t~ercury coming from the plants to a rece~t s1atew1de he01lth advisory warning women of childbearing age and ch1ldren to not eat more than one meal per week of fish from any Ohio body o~ water because of mercury and other IOfins present in waterways. "The fact that it (the fish advisory) applies everywhere tells us the problem is likely coming from the atmosphere," he said. While NWF officials admitted that no studies have been done in Ohio of mercury-related health risks, other studies have shown exposure to the toxic chemical to cause irreparable harm to nervous systems and brain development. , To curb those health risks, the report proposes that Ohio polluters slash .mercu_ry emissions by 25 percent within five years and 50 percent with· in 10 years ..Eder said that different types of smokestack scrubbers than currently in use and activated carbon filter beds could be utilized to reach . greatly reduced mercury levels. Rob Reash; senior biologist for American Electric Power. which operates a handful of coal-fired power plants across Ohio, called the report "irresponsible nag,waving ...

He said the state's fish warning was based on outdates data and that women and children can safely ingest f1ve times more mercury than the standard used by the state when issuing their fishconsumption warning. If lower mercury limits were imposed on power plants. it would mean increased utility rates to the public, Reash said. "We don 't know what the costs would be. but they would be significant." · Eder disagreed with that cost assessment. "I don'tthink it's a fore, gone conclusion that electric rates would rise to the point where it would be unreasonable," he said. He said that new technologies would limit the cost to less than a five percent rise in rate costs. . . According to the report, other sources of mercury pollution include burning of coal and oil by businesses, industry and homes ( 13 percent) diffuse sources includin2 vehicles {13 percent), production of chlorine (ten percent), mljljufacturing (five percent) and incinerators (four percent). --Wrapped and ready-- COLUMBUS (AP) ..:.
