Ann'>ll with a drive~s license, your child is about to experience a new found .freedom that can free you up as well, but your excitement is tainted by the knowledge that, statistically, teenage drivers are at a greater risk for motor vehicle crashes. Indeed, the statistics are alarming. Every year, more than 5,(XX) teenagers bf dnvmg age die in crashes; slightly more than half are dnvers. 1\vo-thirds of teen passenger deaths occur in vehicles driven by other teens. According to the National Safety OJuncil, drivers between 16 and 17 are three times more likely to be killed in a traffic crash than people between the . ages of 25 and 64. You can improve your child's odds of staying safe on the road with these tips. · Make sure your child has plenty of supervised practiCe before he/she drives solo. Many slates issue driving pemnits that require a minimum of six months of supervised driving before a teen can obtain a drive~s license. · . Seat be!t use should be mandatory. Actually, the earlier you instill this habit m your children: the better. As soon as they are old enough to ride without a car seat, your children should team to buckle up every time they ride in a vehicle. ~ · ; ~Whenever ~lble, have your chil.dren drive cars equipped with air bags and anti-lock brakes. Generally; larger Cars are also safer than compacts. Don't hesitate to enforce strict driving rules that address issues such as speeding and drinking and driving. Keeping Insurance ~. Down.

However, Delmar Baum, long-time Chester· resident and a retired businessman, tells an unusual story on the work of the late Dr. L. G. Gribble. Pomeroy, way back in 1918. Delmar's sister, Mil~red, was bonr in February that year. In September she became ill with diphtheria. Dr. Gribble made many house calls to the Baum residence on Oak Hill in the Chester area treating the baby..Mildred's conditioned worsened and finally she was unable to swallow and so there was no nourishment. Dr. Gribble went to the home and through the use of a hot water bottle, attempt¢ to feed Mildred milk via the rectum through that process. It worked and Mildred recovered. · Later Delmar's father visited -Dr. Gribble in Pomeroy to pay for the many trips the doctor had made to the home during Mildred's illness: Dr, Gribble refused. payment commenting that saving the baby 's life was wonh more money thart both he or Mr. Baum had. Incidentally: Mildred gr~w to adulthood and it is believed she is the first Meigs County woman to become a WAC during World War II. As for Delmar, he 's been having heahh problems and is scheduled for extensive surgery next Tuesday at a Parkersburg hospital. Know you wish him well.

One of ~he researchers, Dr. Dennis 'Selkoe, a neurologist at Brigham and Women 's Hospital in Boston, said scientists are "very much on the road" to a treatment He said drugs designed to black !he enzyme could · enter clinical trials within three years. ' But some scientists questioned wherher the research team had identified the actual enzyme or one that simply works in concert with it "the ease is far from nailed either way," said-John Hardy of the Mayo Clinic.

She was outraged because 17 guests who had replied "yes" never bothered to come, and four people showed up w·ho had not been invited at all. My eyes immediately skipped to the signature line, and just as I -sus' peeled, the wedding was a Southern California affair. Ann, please warn your readers that an RSVP from a Southern California resident means nothing. When I lived in New York, I gave fr~quent formal dinner parties. I never once had a guest respond "yes" and then fail lo show up. Here in Los Angeles, I cooked for a week for a big holiday pany, and seve11 of my 12 dinner guests -- all of whom had RSVP'd "yes" -- left me stranded up that well known creek. One guest "di~n't feel like driving," another ·"had to go to the movies" with her mother, a third said she had to do laundry, and others simply failed to show up and qever bothered calling in their regrets. New Yorkers have a reputation for ·being hard-boiled, but at least they ha·ve decent manners an<l keep lheir word. ·The inhabitants of Southern California are slobs. - HAD IT IN L.

Physicians sometimes even order too few cancer screening tests, the report said. Take breast cancer, where early detection and treatment is wellknown to be lifesaving.

Part of the problem may be fin an' cial : 7 percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients lack insurance, tne report said. . Another problem is poor paiO treatment, especiall y in terminal patients.

The National Cancer Policy Board was created by the Institute of Medicine and the National Research 1 Council, independent organizations that advise the government.

" This is a complex and probably formidable task, but we intend to pursue this with · vigor," said Si mone. Wby the difficulty?

Mrs. Atkins and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Rice were hosts for the party. Valenti ne were presented to the patie nts a nd refreshments were served . Several members attended the 90th birthday celebration of Marcia Dennison on Feb. 24. Mrs. Atkins reported on the Wildwood Garden Club 's 60th anniversary observance. The traveling prize furnished by Mrs. Atkins was won by Clotine Blackwood who will furnish it for the April meeting. The program was on spring planting with Atkins talking on pansies. She said they were de veloped in the ·early 1800s by an EngI ish gardener. Original pansies, she said, .come only in white, purpose and yello w, but today there are 400 varieties. They are grown as annu- . als, biennials, or short-lived peren· l~,~.s , support nial s depending n the · variety, Atkins noted , and reach heights of six to nine inches with a spread of 9 to 12 in ches. She said pansies have long bee n associated with love, are edible, a good source of vitamins A and C, and make a pretty yard flower. "Nuts for Peanuts" was the topic of Marjorie Ri ce's papec: She described peanuts are legumes since they grown underground rike potatoes. She gave tips on growing peanuts, and said that after harvesting they should be allowed to dry in the sun several days before being picked off and stored in a dry location. The three types· most family are valencia, Virginia , and Spanish Runners, Rice said, noting that they contain niacin , thiamine, Vit· am ins E and, fiber,' carbohydrates, minerals, and are cholesterol free .

Willard Duncan Vandiver, in a speech at a naval banquet in Philadelphia in 1899,' said, "I come from a state that raise5 com and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from ... " Where? Successful defense 1s rarely flamboyant, or frothy. It is usually undramatiC. Take the West cards m the diagram. Against four spades, you lead the heart king: three, seven, four What now? While deciding, what would you respond with that North hand? The 'eight high-card points might lead you to believe that two spades is suffi. cient. However, the singleton club and the known nine-card fit make it "'' worth a hmit raise of three spades. Yet if you still use the old-fashioned forcing raise (say it isn 't so'), taking a shot at four spades is better than set· tling for a single raise. You might not make it, but at least you pressure the opponents, and you're paid a game bonus for success When the deal occurred in Springfield, Mo., West continued with the heart jack. Declarer won with dummy's ace and conceded a club trick . In a moment, South raked in I0 tricks via five spades, one heart, one diamond and three club ruffs in the dum· my . Dummy's singleton club should have been like a proverbial red rag . Anticipating declarer's ruffing club losers, West should have switched to his trump. When declarer gives up the club trick, East returns a second trump. Now South gets only two ruffs in the dummy and nine tricks in total. As you've protiablv ~uessed Cor knew), Vandiver was from Missouri. . 1883 Truckl for Sale Ford '250 Automatic .

Here are some opinions expressed ,at-Southern High School by students when asked, "Should NATO be bombing Kosovo?" "I think we should atlack Yugoslavia. tf·we do not, Ilia! MiloseviC guy has a chan~e to be~ome worse than Hitler," said Chris Randolph. . Jam1e Baker, a JUniOr whose lather has served in the military, also gives hiS support to t~e bombing. "yes, I think the U.S. should be bombing Kosovo. If they don t keep ~ace, then all heck will break loose. So, yes I do. " Lee Wiihams also g1ves.thumbs-up to the bombing and states, "We nee.d 10 stop them _ before they kill all the ethnic Albanians.

When students go to alternative school they take ·all of their books. and all of their assignments, and. are made to do them in ·alternative school. When they return, all their lessons are given to their principal who then gives them to the appropriate teachers." · Also contacted to get her views on· the alternative school. was Kelly Thomas, one of the school's teachers ~ Here is what she had 10 say about the school and its students: Do you think it has had a positive outcome with the discipl,ine or the students' "Yes, we have only had approximately a 19 percent rate." • Have you had any repeat students? "We have very few. I would say that out of about 260 students, around 45 have returned." Approximately how many . students attend the alternative school? ''Anywhere from five to 20." D? you have any comments about . the school? "I think it is a plus, and has worked out very well, and will con-' tinue to do so." Some 'rules for students attending the Meigs County Alternative School are 'as follows : I. No book bags are pennitted on the premises. . .. · 2. You are expecied to 1Je on time for class at 8:30a.m. (No tardiness). Rule violations will be ·dealt with accordingly. 3. There will be no talking without permission. 4. You must stay in 'your assigned seat. 5. You will have three restroom breaks: a.m., lunch, p.m. (Unless accompanie~ by a doctor's excuse.) 6. You are not pennitted to have food, drinks, or gum while class is being held. You are required to bring your own lunch. · 7. No electrical devices, pagers. stereos, CO's, etc. are permiited in the Meigs County's There are also those students who feel the United Slates should not bom b. Here is an opinion from Amber Maynard with a different concept: "I think we should stop what we are doing and get out of there. It isn't our busi ness. They are not doing anything to us. It's a civil war •• nothing we sh'ould be messing with. Russia is behind (Serbia) 100 percent and the last thing we need IS Russia mad at us. If we keep the bombing up, there is a great chance we will be starting World War III." . Heather Dailey ·has a different notion on the war. "I don't think w.,e should bomb, because I am wondering if they would turn around and bomb us?" Whi!e opinions are varied at Southern High School, its students do have convictiOns @nd strongly voice them. As tomorrow's leaders, perhaps everyone should be listening. · 8. You arc not permiued to sleep in class. , 9. Tobacco, alcohol, or other ille~ gal substances or materials are not permiued. . · 10. Hats and picks are not per· mitted on the premises. II.

Recently, a few Southern High School students as well as a few members ~,f the Southern staff completed .a questionnaire penaining to "Spring Fever.,' Th~ questiOns ranged from g1vmg a personal.definition of "Spring Fever , to hsu~g a few personal-favorne spring-time activities. Webster's Dictionary defines "Spring Fever" as listlessness or restlessness often felt in early spring. The Southern staff and students had basically the same 1dea, although they expressed ii with .a linle "SHS1'wist". Mr..Ryan Lemley, CWA, gov~~ment, geography, and psychology teacher at Southern, expressed hiS defmnwn of spring fever like this, "It is the time when people are ready lo go wild because they have been indoors all winter." . Bridget Cros~, SHS ·senior, said, "I feel spring fever is when you can not Sit still and you JUSt can not wait to get outside." Am_ber ~aynard, SHS junior, gave ~et another definition of spring fever by saymg, Just as when Its finally genmg warm, you're gelling energy back and_geUmg more mouvated. It's a better environment and it just puts you in a slightly hyper mood. Plus it's getting closer to summer vacation." .'· .When speaking of "Spring Fever", you have to know more than just what . I! IS, you .h~ve to know its signs, or so-called symptoms too. Some of the symptoms h_sted by the students and staff were: excessive cleaning, hyperness, lazmess, wildn~ss, the tenden~y to daydream, constant happiness, developmg a care-free attnude, and losmg the ability to sit still. . · When most people think of spring, they think of certain activities, mainIJ'.oul'$td!'11Cl1VIt,~s, lliat llley en)Oy:1'lie SHS stuaents ana stal'i1iaa plenty of Ideas for fun thmgs to do In the sprmg. The activities listed-ranged from ~po~s ~~ch ~s.~olf, baseball, softball and fishing, to what you might call less acuve ~C!IVIlies such as takmg a nice walk, cruising town with the windows_down, suq bathing, washmg cars, planting flowers , shopping or even planting a garden . ' . When SHS teachers Mr. Lemley and Mr. Don Dudding, were asked if and ~ow they felt "Spriqg Fever'' affected their students, Mr. Duddiqg said, "It Increa~es •,pathy by ~!)out a factor of 12". Mr. Lemley more or less agree<J by saymg, They begm to get lazy and do not want to work. Behavior begins to get wild" As you can well see, most of the staff and student body at SHS are affected m some way ~y "Spring Fever". They .have the symptoms and admit to being affected.

REED Sentinel Nawl Statr Local school superinlendents are emphasizing their dis· ·tricts' improvj:ments, mther'than their shortcomings ·in light of the'release of district report cards from the Ohio Depart· rnent of Education.· The report cards were prepared as a "trial run," in prepa· ration for 2lXXl, when the repons ·become a mandated roquirernent of Senate Bill 55, and examine proficiency lest results, allcndance figures, and graduation rates from lhe 1997-1998 school year. The Eastern Local and Southern Local districts showed improvement over the 1996-l997 evaluations, increasing their numbers of standards met by ooe each. The Meigs Local District maintained its score of five standards met Eastern Local met six standards and SOuthern Local mell 0. Deryl Well, Superintendent of the Eastern Local School District. said WedQesday that he was pleased that the district was promoted from 1111 "academic emergency" status lo "acadcmlc watch." Well referred to the ratings Jiven by the state based on the number of standards met by each district. Southern Local placed out of the "academic watch" cal· C80fY into a "continuous improvement" rating, while Meigs Local remains i~ an "academic emergency" status. wu \\1:11 said that the figures for his district are still unacceptable to him, but said that he felt the slandards are hard· er for some districts to meet than others. .Acconding to Well, the IXllllparison of local school dis· tricts to districts of simi.lar size in other areas of the state is unfair, and makes it dif!icull'for local districts to make the grade. "It's still apples to oranges," Well said. "When you go ·nto districts near Columbus and other lar&e subwban areas, you see school districts spending around $10,1XXJ per stu· den~ while ·we can only spend around $5,300per student" Acconding to the Ohio Depa11ment of Education, district size, poveny levels, property wealth and socioecooomic considerations, such as family inwme, eduCJIOOn levels and professional trends are used to compare districts with one another. Meigs Local and Southern Local were grouped with Vin· ton CountY Local, Peny Local, Alexan!ler Local, Gallipolis City and Nelsonville· York City districts, among others. ' Bill Buckley, superintendent of the Meigs LocaT District; agreed with Well that some IXllllparisons among sc:hool dis· lricts are unfair, and pointed, as an example, to the fact that Southern Local was in the Mei19' Local district's comparison group, despite the variance in student population' and By JIM FREEMAN sta;te Highway . warns underage prom night drinking As the prom season·approaches, Ohio State Higi)way Patrol troopers are cautioning area youth against drinking and driving.
