Tune~ Loa Anaeki Synd.cau: ud c~ llt'll-. Synd.c•~ By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: The two women in Washington, D.C., who were conned by the story about a stolen wallet are not alone. Con games have spread from large cities to small towns, and the stories are as varied as the storytellers. I was approached in a grocery store parking lot by a man who said his battery was dead and he needed taxi money to get his ice cream home for his daughter's birthday party. I trapped him by asking where his car · was parked: He wouldn't show me . Another time, a man knocked on my door near midnight, claiming he was house-sitting for his grandmother down the block. He had just gotten home to find that his sister had wrecked his truck and asked if I would lend him $20 to have it towed. He offered to give me his grandmother's name and phone number so he could repay me in the morning. When he could not walk me to his grandmother's house and open the door, I suggested he try some other approach. There is a sad change in the United States these days. America used to be a country of trusting, generous people. Then, some scum realized they could take advantage of our trust and generosity by making up sad tales. These days, there are too many fakers on the streets who could win an Academy Award. Those of us who used to be glad to help now won't· give strangers the time of day. I wish I had a solution, but I hope those who are really in need will understand when I turn away without listening to their story. I've been burned too often. -- Disillusioned in Durham, N.C.

Celia, with a tip from another visitor, posted herself by a fence after she was told that President Clinton would dismount from the train' nearby. Celia hung on for three and onehalf hours and she had been correctly informed. President Clinton and daughter, Chelsea, got off of the train about 15 feet from her location. All three got to shake the President's hand, but Andrea who had tried to work her way through the crowd didn't get to the spot in time to shake hands with Chelsea.

By JIM FREEMAN Times-Sentinel Staff RACINE - Ground was broken Friday morning in the village of Racine for construction of a new branch of the Meigs County Pubhc Library. In conjunction with the ground brct!lting ceremony, attended by library and community representatives, workers began cJsaring trees at the slte where the library will be situated. The new library will incorporate an old carriage house located on the silt acre~ of the former Betsy Tyrl!e Pickens property at Tyree Boulevard and Fifth Streets. Plans call to renovate the carriage house and add two wings, one to the south and one to the west, for additional space. In addition, a kllch· enette, meeting room, and rest rooms have been included in the design of the library to provide approximately 3,000 square feet. . Greg Bailey, owner of Horne Creek Enterprises of Pomeroy, the project's contractor, swd workers will begin cleaning the mside of the carriage house with the priority being getting the structures under roof so work can continue during the winter. Home Creek Enterprises was selected as the contractor after the library board accepted its low bid of $287,800. Work should be completed early next year at .which time the branch will operate as a full-time library, fully staffed, with both daytime and evening hours, according to library board President Pat Holter. Construction of the Racine branch has long been a goal of the library board, but location and other problems delayed the construction, she explained. Money for the construction comes from a building fund established several years ago by the county library trustees. That fund represents monies received from the state in excess of that needed to operate the main library at Pomeroy, the branch in Middleport , and the bookmobtle. The Racine branch will be the fourth maJor expansion in library services to Meigs Countians in the past six years, all made poss1blc by the Continued on page A2 Stations agree to Cremeans-Strlckland debates GALLIPOLIS - Several radio stations agreed Friday to help with possible debates ·~tween the candidates for the 6th Congressional District seat.

Oh, and if one of the top 10 is from your state, don 't bother calling either.

When the Cuba 1ssue came up before the Organization of American States mJune, the United States cas t the lone vote tn suppon of the sanctions.

The measure would permn Amencans to sue in U.S . couns foreign compames domg bus mess m Cuba on properties confiscated from Americans by the Cuban revolution. It also would bar U.S. entry to senior executives and majOr shareholders. E1zenstat and hi s delegatiOn were told repeatedly the law was an unacceptable attempt to extend U.S. JUnsdtction beyond American shores. 1be legtslatJon. says Mexican PreSident Ernesto Zedillo, "is stmply a violation of mternatwnal law." Mex1co was a parttcularly dtfficult challenge for Etzenstat, and he ran into a bnck wall when he visited there late last month. Mexico customarily flaunts its fnendslup wnh Cuba.

" It depends on what happens from here to November," Menendez says Scnsmg that Chnton may be more flex1ble after the election, the European Umon dec1ded last week to hold off on retaliatory action until then.

Lewis•swd Clinton's • ads are simply straightforward recita- tions of the facts, and 1f the Dole campaign doesn't like them, it's because the truth huns. ''Tile Dole campaign has a serious problem, but it is with their candidate's record," Lew1s said. "Bob Dole is a candidate who led the campaign against family leave - twtce. ... This family and medical leave law has become a signature achievement of this administratton .... It is a clear difference between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole." Lewis said she believed Dole's aides are merely trying to lay the groundwork for Republican attacks on Clinton's character in October. There is little doubt the campai11n will get nastier before it's over, but there is doubt inside Dole's inner circle about how hard to hit Clinton on character. Some believe the issue of rising drug use among teen-agers is a relevant way to get at Clinton's sometimes light-hearted treatment of drug use among his own gene.ration, starting with the "I didn't inhale" elip from 1992 and a subsequent ;MTV interview in which Clinton s~uest· , ed he'd inhale had he to do it again.

Being world's policeman carries hug·e cost By JOHN OMICINSKI Gannett Nlwa Service WASHINGTON- Events in Iraq and Bosnia underline the realities of the Clinton administration's post· modern foreign policy. . Despite grand explanations, it has boiled itself down to two real missions -'- to keep oil cheap and to keep world trouble off the TV screen and the front page. While ordering 44 Tomahawk strikes agwnst radars and missile sites in the southern zone nearest the desert oil fields, President Clinton abandoned U.S. friends in nllnhem Kurdistan to Saddam Hussein's ttn· · der mercies. Though Clinton's Central Intelligence Agency enlisted Iraqi Kurds to destabilize and ovenhrow Saddam 's regime, U.S . forces made no attempt to protect them from what is lik~ly to be a vicious campaign of vengeance by Saddam.

Reed So~e GOP hopefuls back off from. party line By CHUCK RAASCH GNS PoiHical Writer WASHINGTON - Some Republican strategtsts are urging GOP candidates to more aggressively defend the about-to-adjourn 104th Congress this fall and model their campaigns after this summer's re-election victory by Russian President Boris Yeltsin. "He was down, they swd," said Greg Mueller, a confidant of Pat Buchanan who also advises Republicans on congressional campaign strategy. "But he reminded people what it was like" under the Communists. "We've got to be more aggresstve in remindmg people about the atrocities of 35 years of a Democratic Congress," Mueller swd. "There is no reason to be defensive about trying to balance the budget or welfare reform." Some GOP operatives are urging their candtdates to challenge · polls that show the Republican Congress in disfavor and defy Democratic charges of "extremism." Instead, they should more aggressively assert that until Republicans took control of Congress m I994, Democrats did not get senous about the threats to Medicare's financial security, the deficit or welfare reform. For Democrats to campwgn as moderate deficit hawks "is all phony baloney," Mueller sa1d.

(AP)Judge Lance Ito would often resort to a well-worn joke when O.J. Simpson's criminal trial bogged down in repetition. "It seems," he would say, "like deja vu all over again:: 1be same could be said of the civil case against Simpson, about to unfold in a Santa Monica courtroom. The facts are the same - Simpson is accused ofkilhng htsex-wife. Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman . But there are some crttical differences. Ito is absent, the rilles have changed, the setting JS different and the jury composition is likely to be dramatically altered. Notably, there will be no cameras in the courtroom, no live TV coverage to keep the world riveted on the case and no celebrity lawyers holding fonh in public. The trial is scheduled to start tuesday. Attorneys and all other participants m the trial have been gagged by Superior Court Judge Hiroshi FujJsak.i in a move aimed at squelching publicity. The order has been appealed by the news media. "The gag doesn't make any difference . It's too late. The horse IS out of the bam," said celebrity lawyer Leslie Abramson, wbo was involved in a retrial of the Menendez brothers -a case with more than passing stmilarities to the Simpson affair. The first Menendez trial was televised; the second was not. Lawyers were allowed to speak outside coun in the first trial but were gagged tn the second one. Heavy media coverage of the first trial abated the second time around. And Lyle and Erik Mell~dez, whose juries deadlocked m therr first trtal, were convtcted of first-degree murder in the retrial. "It's going to be a much, much tougher road for 0.1. Stmpson," Abramson said of the impending civil trial. "You only need nine jurors for a civil verdict, and the second jury will know what happened to the first jury. Most citizens don't want to be ridiculed. They don't want to be called fools." With the trial held in the upscale seastde town of Santa Momca rather than the urban environs of downtown Los Angeles, the jury makeup m a case where race became an 1ssue could be very different. Tile criminal trial jury was predominantly black with a few whites and Hisp1nics. But more tmponapt than race, say experts, is the attitude jurors will bring to this second trial. "The real danger m the ctvil trial is there will be jurors who want to serve in order to rectify what they see as an injustice done in the cnminal trial," said UCLA Law Professor Peter Aranella. "Most people in th1s country feel that Simpson was guilty and got away with murder. These people could slip through the cracks of Jury selection. It will be important to do intensive jury selection." Loyola University Law School Dean Laune Levenson predicted it will be impossible to find jurors who know nothmg about the w1dcly publicized case. "You either have to say, 'We're going for the only people oh the planet who didn't pay attention to thJS,' or you have to be realistic and realize that is not feasible," she said.

Yet the revolutionary program has been quietly but indefinitely benched. As a result, taxpayers will have to wait much longer before they can use it to file income taxes directly v1a home computer. And while the IRS claims its untested star will eventually live up to advance billing, critics are already lampooning the project as a major-league bust. The problem? IRS programmers failed to include even basic security precautions. Private financial information that taxpayers gtve to the IRS would have been vulnerable to the prying eyes of computer hackers. 1be project was so badly bungled, investigators say, that IRS officials even failed to properly mstall the door lock to the room where the Cyberfile computers were located. "It really fell shon, to tell you the truth," says Leonard Baptiste, a congressional mvesttgator who looked into the project. "We found 49 weaknesses (in the security structure). It was a no-hope situation." Politicians, for whom the IRS is often an easy target, are pihng on. Rep. Jim Ross Lightfoot, R-Iowa, who chairs the House subcommittee that controls the agency's purse strings, calls the Cyberfile venture a fiasco. And Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., chair of the newly formed IRS Restructuring CommissiOn, says IRS modernization effons have been a "signiftcant disappomtment" with "very senous problems." That's bad news for the IRS, which had pl(lllned to debut Cyberfile on a limited, test-run basis last February. The program was the crown jewel of a much-publicized effort to streamline and modernize the tax-collecting agency. Cyberfile promised to end the chaos of tax season by replacing tedious paperwork with the relaxed strokes of a computer keyboard.

(AP) - Prosecutors said Friday they want the trial of Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski to begin on March 31, 1997, just under a year from the day agents arrested him at hts secluded Montana cabin. Federal defender Quin Denvir, who is leading Kaczynski's defense team. said he doesn't thmk the trial will begin that soon. "I think that's unrealistic," Denvir said. " I don'tthink we can possibly have all our motions fil ed, fully briefed and decided by then and be fully prepared for a trial. " In vestigators have been gathering evidence for 17 years, while the defense team has only had the case for a few months. Denvor was appointed to defend Kaczynski in early June. But U.S. Auorney Charles Stevens said the case deserve s no spec ial treatment and is no more complex than others, no mauer how much evidence the lengthy investigation turned up . " There could be 2 trillion pounds of evidence but if it's absolutely irrelevant as it relates to other suspects. it 's absolutely meaningless in terms of what a reasonable limelme is for the case " Stevens said. ' Kaczynski 's lawyers plan to challenge the legality of evidence obtained from the search of his cahm . and will likely file a motion to change the venue from Sacramento. according to a status report filed hy the defense.

" With that quarterback and his ability to scramble, it doesn't surprise me," Nehlen said. "I think (Logan) thought that was his best shot, with the ball on the three-yard line." Logan said he decided last spring that he would go for two points in· such situations this season. West Virignia is 3-0; East Carolina 1-1. Nehlen credits his defense for bailing out the offense and a poor kicking game. "I've been here a long time," said Nehlen, in his 17th year, " I thought that's the best defensive performance we've had. That team would not have gotten on the board if not for our kicking game." . The Mountaineers (3-0) had two punts blocked and they missed two field goals. West Virginia intercepted three passes and two of them accounted for the Mountaineers' points. Linebacker Jason Williams' interception sqt up Jay Taylor's 20-yard field goal that tied the score in the third quarter. Two plays later, Crandell over- threw a receiver and Charles Emanuel intercepted at the Pirates' 12 after a personal foul was tacked on. Amos Zereoue took Chad Johnston 's one-yard throw for a I0-0 lead. Mike Logan also had two key plays for West Virginia. He stripped · the ball away from Larry Shannon inside West Virginia 's 10 with 5:35 left: preserving a 10-3 lead. And in the first half, he stopped an East Carolina drive at the West Virginia 26 by picking off a poorly thrown pass by Crandell. West Virginia allowed 281 yards, including 59 rushing. That overshadowed excellent play by East Carolina's defense, which held the Mountaineers to 267 yards. Linebacker Carlos Brown had 19 tackles. West Virginia had two punts blocked for the second straight game. The latter, with 5:45 remaining, gave East Carolina ( 1-1) the ball at the West Virginia 22. But Logan took the ball from Shannon on the next play. Taylor, a freshman, also missed two field goals, including a 44yarder with 8: II left.

The latest report includes findings of laboratory tests, lists of medications taken by Clinton and statements from medical specialists testifying tb the president's good health. While the White House had been reluctant to provide more details until Friday, McCurry said Clinton's attitude was " tell them what they need to know." Some details, though. were withheld. For example, McCurry said he could see no reason to release photographs of Clinton's inflamed vocal chords. "That's the kind of thing, preserving the dignity of the office, we elect not to provide," he said.

In Top 25 college football, White House -grudgingly surrenders medical records WASHINGTON (AP) - In a political tit for tal, the White House says it now has provided more details about President Clinton 's medical history than Bob Dole has disclosed from hi s own health records. "This is as complete as it gets, " White House press secretary Mike McCurry said Friday, releasing a 11page medical statement about Clinton's health under pressure from the Dole camp. Many of the details had been disclosed previously, though the report provided more infonnation about test results. Clinton has no history of high blood pressure, diabetes, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted disease, cancer, stroke or heart disease, the report said. As revealed during the 1992 can1paign, Clinton underwent an HN test for insurance purposes in 1990 and the results were negative, the repott added. McCurry said Clinton's own physician, Dr. E. Connie Mariano, determined that the White House report went beyond the infonnation that Dole, 73, has provided about hi s own medical history.

"Charlie has pitched well enough, I think, to be considered," Indians manager Mike Hargrove said. "I don't know that he will be." Nagy, though, isn't politicking for the award, which Hershi ser won with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988. "I only have 16 wins with two starts to go," Nagy said. "That stuff is out of my control, anyway." Mark McGwire hit his major league-leading 49th home run for Oakland.

On that play, Raider halfback Jeremiah Triplett ran a sweep that resulted in his being taken down for a four-yard loss by Meigs defensive back Jeremiah Bentley. Meigs, taking over at its own 10, saw Roush use that play to run between the guards, break into the clear and outrace the younger Triplett to the end zone for his second score. A little more than four minutes later, Roush visited the promised land again, but this time from 10 yards out, to end the scoring.

They moved tt to their 20 in three plays before punting. The Marauders, who saw Jeremiah Bentley's fair catch of Jerry Brammer's punt put them on the Raiders' 47, needed five plays tQ get them to the River Valley 30. From there, Roush used the second down-and-eight situation to run up the middle and into the end zone. "I'm pretty sure it was (senior guard) B.J. Nicholson," said Roush of the hole he used to score that touchdown. "The hol e was pretty huge. !just had to hit it." Quarterback Brad Davenport's two-point co nversion pass fell incomplete, and Meigs had to settle for a 6-0 lead. River Valley used up the most of the last three minutes of act three and the ftrst three minutes of prime time in a drive that started at its own 35.

It's admirable' Such excitement and devotion is worthy of the word fanatic . You fans do make a difference. One problem I have with high school football is the playoff system . It seems to be designed to exclude teams instead of allowing them to enjoy the atmosphere of high school athletics. For instance, if a local team loses one game they are virtualAn open will. ly eliminated from any possibil teams lila opportunity . .,.~Y ity of going to the big dance . When Gallia Academv lost to the excl~t ~i'e~T*i Coal Grove, I am s~re there . playofft<ioiiHIII;Aifi,j;fli4ttn'lM were fans who felt they had lost what high achool foatbtllits sUpany chance of making it to the . . postseason. . pOHd to be llflllbout? What I find incredulous is that some teams have gone undefeated and still not made the playoffs. Please tell me what more can be expected from a team than to win all its games> How can a team do all it is asked to do and still not merit postseason play > I don't buy the arguments regarding strength of schedule. You must play those teams in your conference. This system, used throughout the country, is set up for local rivalries. limited travel time and greater fan interesi. It's highly successful. Such a system. however. leaves litUe time and space available to schedule other opponents. There arc eight teams in the SEOAL. If a team plays 10 games a year, that leaves only three open dates for non-conference games. To satisfy the present system, local teams would have to schedule rated ones years in advance and hope that both teams are still highly rated when they play. Please consider that such games would also entail greater expenses, travel and sacriftce for our players and fans. Our schools would have to do the traveling until they earned the respect and reputation that would make other schools want to play them . Teams from Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland would not be willing to make the trip here when they have plenty of competition in their own neighborhoods. In other words, southeast Ohio must be willing to pay a higher price than schools in those areas just to make the playoffs. i believe every team should make the postseason regardless of their record. The regular season should be used for positioning and determining horne field advantage. If Jackson wins the conference, they would have a home field advantage and play the last place team. Such a system would add a .:ouple weeks to the playoff format and guarantee at least one local team wo~ld advance to the regional playoff. Some may say that an open system rewards mediocrity. Not true! How far du you think bad teams will advance? There are always upsets, but a team with a losing record will have a far more difficult time winning games against winning teams with home field advantage. More important, those teams which lose an early game, or are victimized by a late season upset, will not be penalized with total exclusion from the playoffs. An open system will allow all teams the opportunity to enjoy the excitement and pageantry of playoff football. After all, isn't that what high school football is supposed to be all about? It's just a. shame to see some local fans and playm lose hope after only r:he second Friday in September. Sam Wilson, Ph.D. Ia an aaaoclate professor of hlatory at tho University of Rio Grande.

(AP) - Bobby Labonte went a little slower than he had hoped, but so did the rest of the field as the warmth of the afternoon sun spoiled management's hope for the fastest lap ever at Dover Downs International Speedway. Labonte qualified his Chevrolet on Friday at 155.086 mph to win the pole for Sunday's running of the $1.4 million MBNA 500. That easily broke the record of 154.784, set last spring by Jeff Gordon. Dover Downs had predicted that another mark - Bobby Unser's 1969 speed of 155.561 - would fall . But thut run , established in qualifying for the only Indy-car race ever at the Monster Mile , remains the track standard . "The sun came out, but it was a good lap," said Labonte, who collected the fuurth pole of his Winston Cup career. He was among those who had run faster speeds in practice, before the sun broke through the overcast and made the treacherous oval slower. Labonte hopes his first po le of the year will translate into hi s first vic- tory. The 32-year-old Texan won three times in 1995, his breakthrough season on the Winston Cup circuit. " We haven't been contending for a win, so maybe lhis is our week," he said. "But we've had some good races lately." A qualifying session that was supposed to be a battle among defending race and Winston Cup champion Gordon, Labonte's points-leading brothers Terry and Ernie levan, produced another surprise up front Rick Mast put his Pontiac on the oustide of the front row with a lap ol 154.328. After that, order was restored, with Hendrick Motorsports teammates Gordon and Terry Labonte taking the second row in their Chevys. Gordon, hoping to become just the third driver to win three straight Dover races, was third at 154.011. Terry Labonte, leading his te.unmate by just four points in the lucrative Winston Cup title race, was next at 153.840. "I hit the apron and didn 't mess it up like I usually do, " Bobby Iverson signs two-year contract with Sixers By ERICH SMITH PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Allen Iverson, the NBA's top draft pick. officially became a Philadelphia 76er Friday with a stroke of a quill pen and a promise to he lp shepherd in better days for one of the league 's worst teams . Iverson said he felt good about the upcoming season, even though the '76ers finished 18-64 last season. "All my life I've been put in tough situations, and this is just another one of them, " he said. The 6-foot guard reportedly will receive the maximum allowed under the rookie salary cap- $9.38 million over three years. Iverson averaged 23 points per game during his career at Georgetown. He left the Hoyas after his sophomore season. The Sixers expect to move Iverson to point guard, where he would typically feed the ball to shooting guard Jerry Stackhouse and power forward Derrick Coleman rather than keep it himself, a tactic he favored in college. After signing the contract with a quill pen handed to him by an actor portraying Benjamin Franklin, Iverson said he was happy to be with the 76ers and hoped to learn from his teammates. " I'd like to thank my mom ... the fans and most of all my teammates," he said. "Without them, this day would have never happened." Teamwork continued to come up m Iverson's remarks. The Sixers have been asked frequently if their new rook.ie would easily give up his shooting role for the job of point guard. Iverson insisted he wants to "just try to learn from my teammates and get a feel for the game" as played in the NBA . Iverson predicted the 76ers, under new coach Johnny Davis, would need Iittle time to become a winning team . . :· 1 know my attitude, this organizatton, my coach's attitude," he said. "My teammates have a great attttude. These guys want to win ... and I want to contribute to that." Iverson is looking forward to working with Stackhouse. . "We can compete with any backcoun '" the league offensively " he said. · ' What he wants to do now Iverson said, is get to training camp' with his te811Jmates . .::Every time I meet up ~ith them, I get more excited," he said. Labonte said of his run . "The car worked good. and that made my job easier." Labonte said the car is the one he drove to a sixth-place finish at Dar· lington, not the one he had originally chosel' but wrecked in August at Bristol. But it made no difference . " It felt good coming off the truck, and only got better in practice, so we felt good about it, " Labonte said. "Then the sun carne out, but it was the same for everybody." Mast was ansry with himself for tinkering too much with his car.

He does remember the day he read that his odds of getting there were I ,000-to-1. "So I quick called Vegas," he joked. His perseverance is about to pay off. Overcoming injuries that forced him to miss 592 games during his 19 seasons, Molitor has moved close to a mark reached by just 20 other players. Molitor had 2,993 hits through Wednesday, putting him in position to reach the milestone only a few miles from his hometown of St. Paul. The Minnesota Twins play at home this weekend against Seattle. At age 40, the Twins designated hitter is on the verge of playing all 162 games for the first time in his career.

I think I was like I,000-to·l - just because of injuries and I was older. "I don't know how many hits have come in the last five years, but it seems like it's been heavily weighted to the back side." Unlike so many players who labored to reach statistical plateaus late in their careers, Molitor is swinging his way into history in style. He dido 't get to 2,000 hits until a single off Bret Saberhagen on July 30, 1991. But Molitor went into Thursday night's game against Oakland with I,123 hits in his last six year, a stretch that has included three of his four 200-hit seasons.

Shooters at the Tuesday evening event were temporarily interrupted by AMP-Ohi o contractors marking the right-of-way in preparation for clearing. The work is expected to claim at least two of the club's tree stands used in the shooting events. I gue.ss that's JUSt one of the prices of progre ss. For the uninitiated, 3-D targets are dense foam , approximately lifesized replicas of deer, bear, turkey and other species including wild pigs and coyotes. The idea behind 3-D shoots is to create a nearly realistic situation, similar to that encountered during actual hunting. The target can be far away or extremely close, partially obscured by trees or other obstacles, or presented at difficult shooting angles. In competition, archers shoot one arrow at each target (Realism, remember?) and calculate the score indicated by inconspicuous rings on the actual target. It's probably the best practice available to any bowhunter. The club holds its shoots Sunday with registration from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and archers pay $7 to compete in five different classes or $4 just to practice. Registration for Tuesday shoots is from 5-7 p.m. at $5 to compete or $2 to practice. Shooting time on Tuesday is from about 5 p.m. until "can'l see." There are three compound bow classes based on arrow speed, a long/recurve bow class and a cross- - -- - - bow class. All bowhuntcrs arc welcome, not just club members. Anyone who has ever priced a 3D target knows they are quite expensive. It kinda makes spending a few dollars to shoot at someone else's targets seem like a pretty good bargain. It's almost time for the Ohio Valley Publishing Company's fourthannual Fall Huntmg Guide to come out next month. Plans call to make the annual tabloid more magazine-like, possibly with a full-color front page and more local hunting stories. What I need now are good color photos showing a typical hunting scene from last year, or perhaps that big buck that didn't get away, with the best picture being used for the cover. I'm afraid I can't afford to pay anything for this, but the photographer will .get a little recognition for his or her great shooting skills. I will probably need to use some photos for the inside pages as well and, of course, you can get your pictures back. Send photos to Jim Freeman at The Daily Sentinel, Ill Coun Street, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769. There's still plenty of time to register for the Ohio River Sauger/Walleye Fall Fishing Classic to be held Oct. 26 at the Pomeroy Levee. Members of the winning teams will get money and plaques but, like the commercials say, "Wait, there's more!"

Women's outdoor workshop scheduled for early October Sports deadlines The Gallipolis Daily Tribune, The Daily Sentinel and the Sunday Times-Sentinel value the contributions their readers make to the sport-S sections of these papers, and they will continue to be published. However, certain deadlines for submissions will be observed. The deadline for submissions of local baseball- and softball-related photos and related articles, from Tball to the majors, as well as other spring and summer sports, is the day of the last game of the World Series. The deadline for photos and related articles for football and other fall sports is the Saturday before the Super Bowl. The deadline for photos and related articles for basketball (summer basketball and related camps fall under the summer sports deadline) and other winter sports is the last day of the NBA finals. These deadlines are in place to allow contributors the time they need to acquire their photos from the photography studio/develo~r of choice and to give the staffs the chance to publish these items in the appropriate season for those sports. promoting opportunities for women who want to learn how they can experience the outdoors in new ways.

Having no family locally, he had become a : ward of the county. The laws in 1884 . stated that a county Medical Society could claim the body of any person buried at county expense. Staggs . died on a Friday. By Monday the Medical Society had made no claim and so the infirmary director ordered undertaker Skees to bury the body at the infirmary ( then located where the GDC is now located). The following Saturday the Medical Society made a request for Staggs' hody, which hy law the infirmary dire<:tor had to accept even though Stoggs had hccn huricd . The Medical So<:icty hired two men of somewhat questionable character to disinter the body. This pair needed first to rent a wagon and a team. On that particular day all the wagons in town were out. The one man yelled: "Oh, a sled with a board on it; anything will do." One witness said that the man was acting like he was getting ready to pull a hog. The two men were so loud that word spread quic~ly about this plan to dig up a body. Finally the two men did secure a wagon and about midnight on that Saturday they dug up Stoggs. The two men neglected to fill in th~ hole where Staggs had been burled and so the next day all kinds of wild rumors made the rounds of the infirmary. The Medical Society in 1884 rented a building that stood where the Board of Education ~uildin& now is located (old Carnegie Library). It was in this building that experiments and dissections were done . The Medical Society felt this an unsafe spot ~nd so they rented the third noor of the Robinson building ( 17 Coun Street). But after the owner of the bui'tding learned that CONTROVERSIAL BURIAL- The -'en mill factory that stood at Second and Spruce was the scaM In 1884 of • grNt controversy surrounding the body of Lewis Stoggs, an African-American coal miner who had died et the Galli• County Infirmary. the two men hired by the Medical Society had been boasting around town about diggi,ng up a body, the owner begged the Medical Society to go somewhere else. Finally the old Woolen Mill prop- eny was secured. The mill was a vacant building from about 1882 to 188S. It was estimated that no one had even entered the building for nearly a year. But on that Sunday Joseph Donnell had gone there to look for some scral pieces of tin. It was he who discovered the body. Word spread quickly about murder in the woolen mill. Authorities quickly identified the body as that of Staggs and that the body had been legally given to the Medical Society. The next rumor to hit the town was that undenaker Skees had been paid by the county to bury Stoggs and then he had dug up the body and sold it to the Medical Society. Skees had once taken county money for buryinp a wooden dummy that someone had laid in the Public Square (City Park). Monday morning the doctors of the Medical Society gathered at the old woolen mill to begin dissection of the body. The Infinnary Trustees. knowing it was an election year and that too many rumors had already spread, gave orders to Skees, the undertaker,- to ta}C'c charge of the body. A large crowd followed Skees to the woolen mill, and they waiched. as the doctors refused to give over the body until they had finished their experiments. A group of lawyers were gathered outside pouring over the law books. The mayor sided with the trustees. The fact that Stoggs was an African-American and that the black vote had allowed the mayor to win by the narrowest of margins may have influenced his decision. Black citizens were outraged and within a few weeks an organir.ation called the Independent Colored Voters Association was formed to make two doc'tors who were also on the City Council pay for their part in the ugly event. As it turns out the doctors prevailed. They retained the body and conducted dissection of it on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday morning the doctors paid W.C. Hayward to bury Stoggs back at the infirmary. But debate on the justice what was done continued into the election of 1884. Jemea Sands Is • special correspondent of the Sunday nmea-Sentlnel.

A total eclipse occurs whenever Earth, at the time of a full moon, moves directly between the moon and the sun, and Earth's shadow falls across the moon. "The big questions at this eclipse are how dark the moon is going to gel and what colors it's going , to show," said Alan Mac Robert, an editor at Cambridge-based Sky & Telescope magazine.

George and I were out on the deck enjoying the early evening, when we observed a large, skinny snake swimming downriver about eight feet from shore. Whether it was · a black snake or "what," I'm not sure, but it was about five or six feet long, and ugly, ooh. It bobbed under occasionally and then surfaced. The last time it went under, we lost it in the path of the setting sun on the river (we look west into West Virginia.). I couldn't help but remark to George, "I don't think I want to water ski this summer." He laughed and said, "I knew you were thinking that." We never saw the s11ake again but I had visions of happily skiing along and having the skis run over the snake, causing the snake to wrap itself around my ankles. Yes, I may take a hiatus from water skiing this year. Recently while George was busy building steps over the river bank, I observed a carcass of some fish or animal along the shoreline of the neighbor's property. I wem closer to investigate and saw what appeared to be a beaver's tail. As we had observed a beaver working along the bank here, my heart sank; I was afraid someone had shot the beaver and the pelt had rotted off. However, on the other end of the unidentified carcass was what appeared to be a fishtail. Closer observation revealed a fish about 40 inches long (including the strange 12-inch paddle in front), with the head just.behind the paddle. Clearly, I had never previously seen anything like it. I cilled George over to gawk with me. He didn't know what it was either. The neighbor's aid was enlisted in discovering the name of the strange fish. After a phone call, the neighbor said it was a paddlefish. Yes, it was in our wildlife book. According to our book, paddlefish are a prized food fish and generally live in large, turbid rivers all over the eastern United States. The beaver we've seen has been a delight to watch. I first saw two swimming . down river, along the · shoreline, early in the spring. I thought I must have been seeing things and the animals had to be "big" muskrats. However, the neighbor said he had seen a beaver, and it that survived extinction, and/or· evolved into mutant strains much larger than the origina\1 species.: After aU, creatures are continuously ' being reported that were previouSly thought extinct. Maybe there is a' Loeb Ness monster or a, giant catfish just waiting for its chance to nibble ' on an Ohio River water-skier.

He likes to nibble on the willow branches hanging over the river.

Not only is the Los Angeles-based band's first single, "6th Avenue Heartache," from their new album, "Bringing Down the Horse," getting airplay on almost every rock radio format, but the video is an MTV "Buzz Clip." Fans have even set up an "almost-official" home page for them on the World Wide Web.

("I haven't seen so many fine sisters since the premiere of 'Waiting to E<hale, '" he cracked from Chicago.) The 30-year-old. Brooklyn-born comic first joked his way through local comedy clubs until the "lifealtering " event when Lorne Michaels plucked h1m from relati ve obscurity. Last year, he snagged a CableAce Award for his comedy special on HBO. Hollywood, naturally, beckoned. He appeared in 1991 's smash " New Jack City" as Pookie the crack addict. A year later. the Rockster shared a screen with his hero, Eddie Murphy, in "Boomerang, " then co· wrote and starred in "CB4," the "rapumentary" of three guys desperate for their show-business break. On the small screen - between hawking collcct ·phone call rates Rock supplies the irritating voice of Lil' Penny, the pint-size alter ego of Orlando Magic ' point guard Penny Hardaway in Nike spots. The irrev· erent "Politically Incorrect" host Bill Maher sent Rock on the prima· ry trail and to both conventions. . I I. How do you describe your sense of humor? Rock: It's kind of in-your-face. It's kinda like rap. Look at guys raised on different music. Cosby's obviously jazz. He's mellow and he's sitting down. Eddie Murphy obviously came up through that big Philadel· phia '70s thing. And I came up through rap. I'm like RunDMC. 2. Your f' , comedy also ~,. has an edge. Where does 11 come from? Rock: Y'know, I'm just not trying to get a gig. Does that make any sense?

How was your SNL experi· Rock: Well, I wanted to be a comedy writer when I was a kid until I saw Eddie Murphy. Then I wanted to do THAT. He's definitely the reason I got into stand-up come· dy. He's just the best, he's really, really funny and giving. I just hope I get to' work with him again. That's like my biggest dream, touring with Ed.

I came out with a lot more than I came in with. I went in living in a studio. I came out living in a house. Got there. on the A train, left there 'in a Corvette. I'm just a very lucky guy. There were eight ... movies that I didn't get and then I got "New Jack City." This is how lucky I am: I got turned down to be an MTV VJ and then got "Saturday Night Live"!

Several samples that have been sent in have tested nitrate-nitrogen levels at 0.6--0.7 percent. The toxic level is considered to be equal to or greater than 0.34 percent.

INDIAN CREEK ~ GOLF I ' ' Indian Creek range meets need for region's golf fans CENTERVILLE - Golfers looking to sharpen their game or . even just learn about the sport now have a place to start at the Indian Creek Golf Range. The range opened in April and owner Steve Betz has already seen how it·meets the need for golfing devotees. He noted that his clien· tele is currently coming from Galli a and Jackson counties, and from West Virginia. . "This is my niche in life. I don't work very well inside," said Betz, who said he has always had an interest in outdoor recreation. Located on Raccoon Township Road 444 (Wayne Lane), off Buck· eye Hills Road between Centerville and Rio Grande, the Indian Creek range sits on six acres of a farm Betz purchased when he returned to Gallia County last year follow· ing a sojourn in the south.

And, as they gain ~reater monetary power, . many are man· aging their own finances by becoming active , educated investors. Investing important for everyone - women men. there are a number of that require a '(I'Oima~,·s close attention as she navi· the path to investment success. Burgeoning ·financial power isn't only reason that women are more active investors . ~hances are good that nearly all 'JYOmen will be the sole guardian of their family 's finances sometime in 4leir life. In addition, women often ~ce financial situations that are speqific to their gender. · . • Women live an average of five to seven years longer than men. • Half of all women older than 65 outlive their husbands by 15 years. • The average age of "widow· hood" is 65. • Seventeen million women are divorced, and divorce rates are run.· ning as high as 50 percent for new marriages. Many women are at a distinct disadvantage in teims of their retirement savings. Because women tend to live longer than men, their retirement assets must last longer. How· ever, women historically have spent less time in the work force and therefore have fewer retirement resources. They also typically earn less than their male counterparts, which translates into fewer dollars allocated toward retirement. Unfortunately, women tend to delay saving for retirement; studies show that only 30 percent of women ~tween the ~ges of 45 and 64 are saving for retiremeni. Meeting the challenges • U.S. I asked myself, 'how can I capitalire on this?'" he said. Indian Creek is currently set up as a driving range, but Betz also sells clubs, new and used, regrips clubs, sells balls and has a ball dis· penser available for patrons. The range is open from daylight until dark, and an attendant is on hand from 2 p.m. until closing. During the season, the range is closed only on Thursday mornings for mainte· nance, Betz said. Betz views the range as an opportunity for golfers to work on their game and a chance for chil· dren to get involved with a ganne that he said is "fun, challenging and environmentally safe."

For AP Special Features Shuffling pans and buckets around in the attic to catch dripping Willer on a stormy night can be a nighunare. Fonunately, this doesn't happen often anymore because the materials used to cover roofs today can withstand most kinds of abuse from nature. Eventually, though, a roof will wear out. Asphalt shingles, which cover about 80 percent of all roofs in the United States and Canada, steadily break down and fail. The remaining 20 percent of roofs are covered with cedar shingles or shakes, tiles or metal. Many of the causes of leaks in asphalt roofs apply to those types, too. Sun trouble Rain, snow, ice and cold weather hardly affect asphalt shingle roofs. Instead, the primary enemy of an asphalt roof is, surprisingly, the sun. You might notice tiny colored granules as you clean out your gutter.;. Or perhaps you 'll see some shingle edges turned upward or downward. These are indications that the sun's high-energy ultraviolet rays have finally succeeded in breaking down the asphalt, <;ausing the shingles to become brittle, shrink and crack. To resist breakdown, manufacturers cover the asphalt with small, hard mineral granules tllat block the sun's rays (and make roofs more colorful). The thickness of the asphalt used in shingles also affects thetr durability. Thinner shingles may last for only 15 to 20 years compared 10 30 to 40 years for thicker grades. By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Features Q: We are trying to tighten up our home for the winter and are tracking down and eliminating sources of drafts. The doors and windows were no problem, but we policed a bad draft coming from our clothes dryer vent. What's the best way to handle this situation? A: An open dryer vent leading to the outside of the house can be a significant source of drafts in winter and windy weather. If yours is an electric dryer, check with a heating expert about the possibility of connecting the dryer vent to the furnace return duel, thus saving the heat generated by the dryer which is otherwise wasted out of the vent. Do not vent the dryer directly into the laundry area, as.dryer air is damp and yOitlrisk an indoor condensation problem. Gas dryers should remain vented to the outdoors. To seal off the dryer vent permanently or for occasional use, merely disconnect the flexible dryer exhaust pipt; from the wall opening and pack the opening with fiberglass insulation. Enclose tile insulation in a small muslin sack if it is to be removed often. Remove the insula- ' tion and reconnect the pipe each time you use the dryer. Q: We had to trim the bottom of our hollow-core door so that it would clear new carpeting we had installed. We tried not to damage the veneer on the door as we first scored the cut line with a sharp utility knife guided by a straightedge. In spite of this we did break away some of the surface. What's the best way to fix this? A: To fix the splintered area of the veneer, you'll need to first lift the D BED AM. ~· ---======---.. Homes Q & A: best way to plug drafts : and leaks will begin soon after. Flashing repair is slow. tedious work that has to be done just so. Roofers, who are usual I)~>paid by how many shingles they lay, have little incentive to install the flashing carefully unless you insist and are will· ing to pay the price. Heat distress It is not only the sun 's ultraviolet rays that damages shingles, heal also destroys roofs. In most. areas of the country, roofs can hit 160 degrees Fahrenheit or .higher several times each summer. This breaks down shingles by softening the asphalt and drying them out so that they hecome more briulc after the' ve cooled. So make sure your anic is well ventilated. In a typical house. vents in the soffits on the underside of the eaves allow cool air to enter, cool the roof and exit as hot air through vents near the peak of the roof. Allie fans and ridge vents ensure even betler air flow. Even worse,. warm humid air rising from the house below may condense on the underside of the roof as white frost When it melts, it will eventually cause the roof to rot from the inside. Good attic ventilation should stop the problem. Nail trouble Leaks can also be caused by old nails poking through the roof sheathing. At night, they become cold and gather frost from warmer humid air in the attk . When tile roof heats up during the day, the frost melts and drips down onto the ceilings below. broken w9od away from the door with a putty knife, and then apply glue to resecure the veneer. Use a small tube of white carpenter's glue, or buy a glue injector with a needle applicator at a wallcovering store.

Gillelte Co., the toiletry powerhouse of razors, deodorant, pens and toothbrushes, is buying Energizer batteey rival Duracell International for about $7.3 billion in stock. The deal represents Boston-based Gilleue 's biggest move to expand and will make batteries the company's second-biggest product behind shavers. For Duracell, the combination will increase its ability to sell batteries abroad because of Gillette's widespread distribution system. That's a threat to Energizer, the world's leading battery seller, owned by St. Louis-based Ralston Purina Group and fonnerly known as Eveready. The deal also is a lucrative coup for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., the investment firm that purchased Duracell and later reduced its stake to about one-third. Based on the value of the Gilleue deal,' KKR's stake is worth about $2.5 billion - much more than tile $1.8 billion it paid for the whole company.

The welcome revelation that new stock fund investments soared to $19 billion in August after slumping to $5.8 billion a month earlier might be a major reasoll why the Dow Jones industrial average has more than erased all of tile July 's fretful plunge despite some largely similar circumstances. "There's money on the sidelines coming into mutual funds and other areas that has to be put to work, and it's creating a positive aunosphere," said Ricky Harrington, technical analyst at Interstate-Johnson Lane in Charlotte, N.C. "The strength of the market can be traced more to technical factors than to fundamentals." The tame inflation readings of recent days certainly helped vault the Dow to a new high for the first time since May. But the blue-chip average and several broader stock measures had already managed most of their rapid rebounds amid a somewhat murkier backdrop. The economy's healthy glow has produced tbe lowest unemployment rate swee 1989, but in so doing, continues to generate worrisome increases in payroll costs that could mean higher prices down the road. Interest rates, meanwhile, remain at troubling levels in the bond market even though the latest inflation data has built confidence that the Federal Reserve may hold off on a longexpected increase in its lending rates. Even with Friday's bond rally, the widely watched interest rate on the 30-year Treasury - a key influence on company and consumer borrow· ing costs - remains near 7 percent. That's the upper end of its range for the past 12 months and about I per· centage point above early January's levels. All this just as the market begins its head-first dive into that often frightful period before earnings season when companies with disappointing results try to soften the blow with an advance warning. Earlier this past week, in fact, the market was treated to a grim reminder of that period when Motorola, which helped set off July's tumble with a poor earnings. repon, warned of another disappointing quarter. But th~ market held its col· lective head high this time, as if there was nowhere to go but up. With all that gloom and doom in tlie air, why have so many individual investors decided that that the stock market is a safe bet after all? Many investors chose to ride out the market's re~ent gyrations with nary a "buy" or "sell ." That sort of stoicism may have helped avert a steeper drop in July. But the accompanying slowdown in new stock fund investments - a key driving force behind the bull market of this year and last - may have worried money managers more than any inflationary storm cloud. "The bears were convinced the little guy would get scared and stuff it in the mattress," said William M. Lefevre, senior market analyst at Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum. "There was enough stuff going on in July to scare anybody. But they didn't sell so much as step over to the sidelines and - 5 In Stock .... Flashing Generally, however, the inain cause of a leaky roof is inadequate flashing. Flashing is sheet metal , heavy asphalt or other flexible but waterproof material that roofers put in the valleys between two roof sec· lions and in the areas where shingles meet donners, chimneys and plumbing vent pipes. Chimney flashing causes most problems. Since the chimney has its own foundation , it settles and moves independently of the house. This can cause flashing to stretch and tear open. Restoring inadequate flashing is a job that few roofers like to do, and often a homeowner doesn't want 10 pay for a first-class job. The cheap. quick solution is to fill any gaps with plastic roof cement But the cement will harden and crack in a few years List '6995 I ' ~ I s4995 ' , I I 1 I 1 j Hauling large loads Is a breeze lor the Raptor.

I THE AAP"TOR UTILITY VIEHICLE ONLY has affected milk, which in some areas is flirting with $3 a gallon. Some economists believe dairy prices could rise 12 percent this year. To some extent, poor weather in the heartland is the cause for pricier milk. The high cost of hay has stressed dairy farmers, already pressured bz a decade of low milk prices. As a result they have reduced their herds, which means less milk. Whiners/losers Winners: Investors who bought the stock market at its July lows, when fears of higher inflation, rising interest rates and lower corporate profits spooked Wall Street Since then the market has roared back and on Friday it hit record levels, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average past 5,800 for the first time. Losers: Managers at' Prudential Insurance Co. of America, which lost a contract valued at $4.5 billion annually from the American Association of Retired Persons. The loss is the latest setback for. the company, which has been struggling to cut an oversized bureaucracy and contend with customer allegations of sleazy sales practices. In Between: Computer chipmakers, who have been expecting weaker earnings due to lower sales but got a boost from a key monthly report thai showed a surprising rise in orders in August. Ticker: Time Warner Inc. received final government approval to buy Thrner Broadcasting System Inc. for $6.8 billion, preserving its status as the world's biggest media-entertainment company. t. r•u••- · - ...,.,. o•- See answer on page 88 ' ....-----------.... ·-- ~ ~~---..::........__~---..---------- ,....... �--- -- - -------:_,...._..-----:-----------...................._ ..._ _ _~~....II!I!IJI!• 90 Wanted to Buy Top an li quea, furn•tura, glass. t:h1na, clocks, gold, silver, COinS, WI!Chel, 81l8181, Old SlOne J&rs, old blue & wl"lne dishes. old wood boxes, mtlk bollles, Metgs County Adverusement, Osby Marnn. 614-992·7441 .

"It doesn't make any difference to me, " retiree Alice Cross said Friday while she waited for a bus in Des Moines as the Dow Jones industrial average was rising to new heights. Asked if she owns stocks, she replied, "Are you kidding' Wlty do you think I'm riding the bus?" · But manv Americans do own · stock ~ eith~r assembling their own portfolio, or leaving the investment decisions to mutual funds or retirement plans. In fact, one in three U.S . families has money in the stock market. And some are thrilled with market's stunning rebound from its July sell off. "We've been doing great the past two years," said Maryanne Shamoun, 31, of Kennesaw, Ga. The market's renewed vigor is important to the mother of two and her husband , a cryogenic engineer. "We invest 17 percent of my husband's income in the stock market. I think that will show you the effect it would have on our li ves," she said during a visit to Atlanta with her parents and children . And with the new optimism on Wall Street, she said she's ready to take even more risks on stocks. "Ninety-five percent of our stocks are high-risk, maybe 5 percent medium risk," Shamoun said. Asked if she's ready to call her broker and invest anew, she replied, "We would probably dump the lower-ris k stocks and buy more higher-risk ones." The rally is important to her parents, who have a much different investing outlook. " We're rather conservative, but being a retiree, I .think it will affect me in the future, " said Ms. Shamoun 's father, Harold Hughes of Fort Pierce. Fla. "I depend on my investments for a great deal of my income ." But stocks are not•that big a deal for lots of Americans, as interviews around the country made clear: Saturday's college football game between Iowa and Iowa State dominated conversation Friday, even as Des Moines stock brokerage signs flashed the news of the latest market surge. "I don't follow it," said Jsiah McKinney, a retiree who said he neither owns stocks nor regrets missing the rally that has lifted the Dow Jones average more than 14 percent this year after a 33.45 percent rise in 1995. "I've got my Army. pension," McKinney said. Scott Hansen, 45, who owns a gas station near Interstate 44 in Oklahoma City, said he was vaguely aware of the market 's climb but prefers to plow his scarce extra money back into his business. Despite the market's strong performance, Hansen sees it as a game for rich people who can afford to lose money. "That's all the stock market is. it's a gamble."

The "Elizabethan Age of Literature" became a spendid period of poems and plays written and performed by Shakeliiieihwlffij · 1· f · · ·-· ··~:"·'·~ . . . . . . . .. . speare, a qua aty o wnung never •·. ·. ·· ... · •' • · · .. .. to be surpassed in English literature. Elizabeth even knew how to turn shortcomings to her advantage. The royal treasury at her time was woeOilly lacking. so Elizabeth took to frequent traveling and visiting her nobility'for periods of time, thus supplementing the shortages of her household funds and gaining popularity by personal contacts. Even if she did have her half-sister beheaded, she didn't practice religious persecutions and thus earned the name of "Good Q11een Bess". Elizabeth I, without a doubt, was the best ruler from the Tudor House and was a hard act to follow. Elizabeth also brought the popularity of gardening to England and she deepened the knowledge and understanding of herb lore. She added the Roman writings of Mediterranean herbals and the newly discovered Oriental wisdom of medical herbs from China and India. King James I, who succeeded Elizabeth I at her death in 1603, gave the world the translation of the bible that came to be known as the "King James Version" and that influenced the English style for the following 300 years. He brought 47 scholars together for seven years in three different locations to work on this translation. He also got quite upset with the new colonists when their representative, John Smith, reponed to him that the gardens in Virginia were neglected. Virginians let the gardens go in favor of the new cash crop of tobacco, taken over from Indians with their practice of smoking. King James himself wrote a pamphlet in . 1604, "Counterblast to Tobacco." In this pamphlet. he claamed that tobacco was a filthy· weed, the smoking of which was injurious to the lungs. Doesn 'I that make you wonder about our advanced age of today? I had a friend troubled with a bee sting which was quite painful. She wanted to know what the herb garden offers as first aid. . Do remember that unless you are medically qualified, never treat anythang but mmor aliments at home; but, even minor ailments that fail to respond should have professional treatment. Secondly, never use any herb for medicinal purposes unless you have identified it correctly. Know your simples! ' . A good way to start is to have a looseleaf notebook. Use a page for a smgle herb and add pages as needed. Anytime something about a certain herb gets your attention, mark irdown - and then compare your notes for further study. flow isn't interrupted," said John Challenger of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, a national outplacement firm. "Nowadays it's a rare person that stays in one job or even one field for his or her entire career." Steve Dickinson, owner of Practical Quality Services Inc., a management services company on Merritt Island, was the Central Florida area manager of Florida Power & Light when the company began a series of layoffs in 1991. Because he felt his job would eventually be in danger, he started his own company while still employed with FPL. "I saw the writing on the wall and J wanted to get my company going before J lost my job," said Dickinson,. who took a voluntary layoff from FPL in October.
