The gift for all seasons. In each of the last several years,. I have gone through at least one roll ~f duct tape to winterize' my old kep. Duct tape serves nicely to seal ·off the vehicle's soft top and to plug ~arious "pneumonia holes." Several strips of the sticky substance cover the ever-expanding rusted spots on the lloor. Sometimes the brunt of redneck jokes. duct tape is nevertheless a very handy household and automotive item. A few years ago, my old dried· out rubber hunting boots finally gave up the ghost and cracked the first day of the deer gun season. The fix? Two small strips of duct tape. Although the booiS were ruined, the expedient fix enabled them to last the remainder of the hunting season. And now , as an added bonus, duct tape is available in many colors. Some people think U.S. military might is based on technology. They . couldn't be more wrong. The real secret to America's military prowess• You guessed it; duct tape. ~ Show me the most technological. ly advanced item of megabuck mili:1ary hardware and I'll bet that some- where, something on that item is secured by "90-mile-an-hour" tape, the Army's olive-green version of good ol' duct tape. . "I used duct tape to hold my. lrunk down on my car when I was moving ' piece of furniture from Athens to Racine," said one of my coworkers. The same person also reported using duct tape to hold a pair a shoes together. . "I've seen it holding up a fender· well," he said. Sometimes referred to as "West Virginia chrome," duct tape can be used to patch up bumpers and can work in various ways to hold y9ur car together. Truckers in particular are big adherents of the substance, which has many applications in the trucking indusuy. (Examine any big truck and I'll warrant there's a roll of duct tape somewhere inside.) Duct tape comes in handy for securing loose cords or wiring. Last year at Th~ Daily Selllinel, I used strips of duct tape .to secure an extension cord leading to a Christmas tree in front of the office. One person commented having used duct tape to repair a ripped pair of blue jeans while another has even seen the tape used to temporarily repair a damaged wall.

By: - In 1917 the three islands in the Ohi() River (Gallipolis, Eight Mile, and Raccoon) that have been associated with Gallia County hist<1ry encompassed some I 73 acres Qf ground. Raccoon was the latgest island in 1917 with some tOO acres. Eight Mile Island consisted of43 acres and Gallipolis Island had about 30 acres. All three islands were created from sand and gtavel deposits. In the early pan of the 20th century these islands became important resources for sand and gtavel. What little land was left when commercial mining of the two resources above ended)was further reduced by the Army Corps of Engineers' efforts to keep a good channel in the river for navigation. Eight Mile Island, near Cheshire, was first owned under a patent from the Ccn1111011we.a!tb of \lirainia in 1796 by Thomu Lewis. In due couno the island wa purclwed by Bob l'lltenon, John Hall and later by James Kaight. Ia one transactioa in the late 19th century the whole island. then about SO acres. sold for $1.41. When Patterson owned the island in the W. W.l era, he farmed about 32 acres of.it, producing mostly veaetables and fnlits. In the lasI century Raccoon Island was owned by Lewis Cook and Jack Sbepherd. Cook was a great hunter and trapper. It was recorded that in one year in the 1870's Cook trapped or shot 200 foxes, many of them being taken on the island or near it. In 1881 it was recorded that Cook was growing watermelons on Raccoon Island that had an average weight of 40 pounds. These melons were of the Excelsior variety that were first grown in Massachusetts. In fact Cook bought his seeds from the company that developed the seed. That same year Cook got 17 watermelons from one vine. In the early par\ of this ·century Jack Sbepbeld railed tom8IOII on Raccoon ~sand. He brouaf!t them to Oallipolis where he owned a 10111110 cannery.

Sl\llrt says Cameron understands actors and knows how to !•II them what he wants- and gets tt, as horror master Whale once did. But Ford was another story.

Even !hough her role is more formula than Scott's, this should help her cause. She's a woman who can own the screen.

Entertainment Roddenberry's back, this time Earth-is the final ·frontier PegeCI·# # I' By TED ANTHONY AP Ndonail Wrltv NEW YORK (AP) - As far as "Star Trek" fans are concerned, she 'II forever be Lwaxana Troi, Daugbter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed and an all-around , imposing presence. These days, though, Majel Barren Roddenberry spends most of her time as herself- faithful Holder of the Sacred Chalice of the Genius of Gene Roddenberry. Sbe 's still an imposing presence, even sitting in a Manhattan hotel room nursing a cold and watching, of all things, ueolumbo'' reruns. But still, as always, she is discussing ber late husband's legacy. It is her mission. She never forgets it; it even overrides her own beliefs. "I'm not a big believer in space people, but there has to be something up there. Otherwise, it's a whole big waste of space," says Mrs. Roddenberry, whose late busband courted her on the set of the original "Star Trek" series he created. In il, she played Nurse Christine Chapel, forever in unrequited Jove with the emotionally stunted Mr. Spock. Mrs. Roddenberry is positively bristling with enthusiasm for her latest effort, "Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict," developed from that most coveted of proper-· tics: a freshly discovered Roddenberry script. "When the show was shopped around, they said they wanted a Gene Roddenberry show," Mrs. Roddenberry says. "But wliat is a Gene Roddenberry show? We've all had to bring it back to - what does Gene represent?" Though Roddenberry bit big the biggest - with "Star Trek," he certainly belched forth lemons now and then. Consider "Genesis II," a short-lived 1973 effort that featured Mariette Hartley with two bellybuttons. But "Earth: Final Conflict" has a premise and an intensity that just might serve it well. It features a near-future cop, William Boone (Kevin Kilner), who has lost his ex· wife to a conspiracy, plus an an entire line-up of shady characters, some earthly, some not. Most prominent are the "com· panions," telepathically powerful · ·aliens who call themselves Taelon. They profess pure benevolence but may not be what they say. To gauge by early performances and plot lines, it could be a Jot of fun. Then again, it could unfold poorly: What happens when the questions about the aliens are answered? Should we expect a 1990s version of "V" or a retooled "Alien Nation"? It's hard to tell, and Mrs. Roddenberry's no help. She loves the idea of an entire series unfolding . like a mystery novel, and she's promising only a couple things: Not too much violence and not too much seriousness. '"As you keep watching, you're going to find that it's getting lighter and lighter. There's just no way in the world that Gene could write-anything dark," she says. And indeed, some of Roddenberry's final battles involving "Star Trek: Tlic Next Generation" involved its drift from his nco-utopianism into more murky conflicts. And. violence, that Roddenberry bugaboo- well, let's just say there won 'I be any Terminator-style violence. Not hardly. "When someone would pull out a gun to sh.oot someone, I'd say, 'Do we really need to do this?'" says Mrs. Roddenberry, who is a coexecutive producer and appears sporadically as Dr. Belman, a resistance sympathizer. "I'm not saying ·thai we're not going to kill anybody. But if we do, we're going to talk about the futility and ridiculousness of it." That'a vinllge ltoddenberry. The man'a envisioned a bright future. Yet be wu savvy enough about the here and now to call network suits "a bunch or ad execs who failed upward." With the "Star Trek" unive(SC, he made 1p1ce and sci-fi accessible to many viewem by using veiled ~metimes thinly veiled - allegories to exprorc- such issues as racism; the Vietnam War and, in "The Next Generation," AIDS and sexual orientation. "It's the minor up to nature -so that we can be forced to look at ourselves," Mrs. Roddenbeny says. And . she adds that "Earth: Final Conflict" is taking up that mantle, tackling such issues as capital punIshment and televangelism. "What you 'rc going~to sec in that show," sbe says, "is yourself."

Roddenllcrry's certain the show will prove Motley Crue making Its way back By JAN CAHIR The Sen Bernardino County Sun Tommy Lee says he's seen all or this before. · Motley Crue's drummer bemoans the current state of popular music as boring and "pathetic." If that seems hanh, Lee may have a right to say whatever he likes about the business. He, singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars have been together for the better pan of 17 years. "We've been ·doing ·this long enough that I've seen it all at least once," he says. Now, with Neil back with the band after a two-year separation, Motley Crue has a new album. But the Crue isn't the same band that released "Shout at the Devil" in 1982. Or is it? "I listen to the new album, and in a lot of ways it's different than our · older stuff," Lee says.

Newer varieties - Freedom series, Red Sails (red), Marcn (pink) and the Nutcracker series - offer intense color with large bract size.

However, with the currenL low prices for a potted plant thai gives four to six weeks of enjoyment, you may be further ahead to purchase a new one, each year. Provide the poinsettia plant with warm 65-70 degree temperatures, I0 to 12 hours of sunlight or artificial light. and a minimal amount of water (don't overwater). Provide the necessary plant nutrients by fertilizing once a month with a water soluble plant food at label rates.

'The grain sorghum is one of the most winter-hardy plants listed.

Buckwheat won't last long into the winter. but gives:an abundance of seeds early in the fall. These seeds don't require elubo· rate seeding equipment. All can be hand•seeded in areas tilled even to a minimum degree.

This means that you should board up damaged doors and windows, arrange to cover a. leaky roof with tarps or plastic sheeting, remove debris and take salvaged items to a safe place until the insuranee claims adjuster can see them. Because cleaning up fire damage differs from regular cleaning, it's often best to hire a fire restoration contractor. (To locate one, check the Yellow Pages). Here are some other tips: -- To prevent pipes from bursting in cold weather, have a plumber drain the main water system. Or at least heat the house with a portable stove. Pour antifreezeinto all drains and toilets. -- Have the electrical system and all electronic equipment checked and certified safe before using it. · -- Send gannents and draperies to a dry cleaner who has an ozone chamber.
