Tara Fisher, a freshman at Eastern High School, was diagnosed with the cancer in the spring after battling with persistent fevers and itchy legs - a symptom of the cancer - said her mother, Deanna Shepard.

At first I was alarmed, and reached for the call light to get a nurse. "But then I remembered Henry Bahr tell one day in Sunday School about when he had a very painful back problem and someone prayed for him, and his body felt all warm and then his pain was gone. I just watched Tara and prayed that God was healing her right then and there." "After Tara had been through one round of treat· ment, we had prayer for her during the special Spiritual Renewal services at our church. The speaker was Pastor Quentin Smith~ He asked Tara to come forward for prayer. Pastor Quentin, the elders of the church and Pastor Rob laid hands on Tara and she was slain in the spirit. "Pastor Quentin told her this whole experience was going to be a fond memory. She didn't under· stand how this could be. I told her she was seeing how much she was loved, and this would be some· thing she would always remember. "A week or so later Tara had X-rays taken and the mass was gone! Although the doctors want her to continue the trealments, we believe God has healed her; we just have to wait until the doctors confirm it." Although she hoped to complete her Ireatment by her Oct. 23 birthday, she actually finished just before Thanksgiving, her mother said. Now she takes a weekly antibiotic.

Even on his one day off customers came knocking - because !hey knew where to find him. Would he sell them some mousetraps, three for a d1me? Born in 1960, his grandson Dave Rovner rides the computer revolulion, opening a laptop easily on his kit~hen table, taking a cell phone call whtle oul wllh hiS kids, checking email while on vacation. During this hard-working century, when productivtty grew an average 2 percenl a year, Americans increasingly tot led outside !he home: on factory assembly lines, steelyards, m office cubicles. At the century 's start and fintsh, workers such as the Rovners earned their keep from home, steps from their familie s. blurring the line between home and work and somelimes paymg a price for doing so.

Ltttle by liule, lines are bemg drawn " People are creating more boundanes, not without difficulty," says Ellen Galinsky, prestdenl of !he Famtlies and Work Institute. "You have to invent it yourself." In colonialumes, work and home were one. Mostly farmers or craftsmen, men and women workod as full partners in supporting the family and raising children. Married women were called yoke-mates By the 1830s, "boss" had become a commonly used word.ln I 800, JUSt 12 percent of people had one, bul that figure was 40 percent by 1860. As this century opened, a majority of people depended on wage labor for the firs! time. By the end of World War I, as tndustry churned out goods propelled by a new gospel of effiCiency, 87 percent of wage earners worked for corporattons. Even so, homes were still workplaces.

"'My mother and father both worked, and still, if you wanted to have a fairly decent life- at least have some clothesthis IS the way it had to be." It took bloody strikes, lethal accidents and muckraking journalism lo galvanize reform . In 1906, Upton Sinclair's landmark book, "The Jungle," exposed !he abuses ofthe meatpacking industi-y. In 1911, some 146 women died in a fire in New York's Triangl6 Shirtwaist factory, some because doors had been locked to keep them on the job. A patchwork of worker protections was born, first aimed al women and children States enacted workers ' compensation, restncuons on child labor and an eight-hour day 111 some industries. It wasn't until the late 1930s, however, that reforms became nattonal and applicable to all.

If you 've never heard of a stretch IRA -- or stretchout IRA, as it is also called-- you ' re not alone. Smce the introduction of IRAs m 1974, folks have been well-informed about what individual retirement accounts are, who they are for, why to use them, and how to mvest in them. And that education has paid off: For instance, at year-end 1998, mutual funds accounted for $934 btllion of !he estimated $2.1 trillion IRA market, according to 1\teInvestment Company Institute, the trade association of the mutual fund industry. But little has been done to teach folks about how lo get the most out of their individual retirement accounts once il comes lime to pass on those bucks to !heir heirs. "'In the pas!, we've all been welleducated about !he benefits of accumulating assets tall-deferred m our IRAs," says Christine Fahlund, senior financial planner at T.Rowe Pncc. " But people haven '! really understood how much more money they could have to pass on tf they had created a stretch IRA opportunity for Passmg on moneys lo your henefictaries -- whether they be friend , non-spous,e, blood relative, child or any combination thereof -- is whal stretch IRAs are all about.'!iometimes tt's beneficial for spouses •.too. "The 'stretchout' is stretching out the tax deferral, and it can go on for years," says Fahlund. "You can do tl with ROTH IRAs or reg ular IRAs." While the subject is complicated one, turning an existing -- or new -IRA or a ROTH IRA into a stretchout begins with educating yourself. To start that process, give the IRS a call (800 829-3676) and request a copy the IRS Publication No. 590, titled "Individual Retirement Arrange- ments." The next step is finding out whether or not the fund family your IRAs are he1d at are stretchout savvy. Many are not If that's~ case, you'll have to call various fund lamilies and ask to speak with their retirement experts to see if stretchouts are part of their bailiwick. After finding a fum!. family to work wittl, you ' ll' need a concrete plan regarding the individual -- or individuals, -· yod' d like to have named as; beJleficiary(ies) on the account. ~~ "The end of the year IS a good lime for people to revtew whal they've done and do some future planning," says Julie Hendnckson, president of Sentinel Financial Services, a Montpelier, Vt., fund family thai's been teachmg people about stretchouts via the Sentinel Super IRA Legacy Plan for the pas! five years. " Not everyone remembers who they 've listed as thetr benefi ciary, and some may like to make some addnions or changes." Hendnckson says that if stretch IRAs are sel up properly, they can allow the anginal owner to pass on wealth and keep the IRA intact, with tls assets growing, tax deferred, for years to come. Bul, she adds, they also are intricate financia l-planning tools. So to get Ihe mosl out of them, beneficiaries need to be named before the owner starts takin~ the mmimumrequired distributions from his or her IRA. If you like the notion of a stretchout and the control from the grave that it can give you, Fahluqd says that !he ROTH IRA is the way to go. "It's the ultimate, premier vehicle for !his, because no minimum-reqUired distributions are ever required from the original owner of the account. So,,taking distributions out by age 70,1/2 goes by the boards.

At !hat time, the beneficiary(ies) must begin taking dtstrtbutions by Dec_31 of the year after !he account owner's death. A spouse who ts named beneficiary isn 't subject to !hat Dec. 31 rule. Yes, !here are down sides to stretchouts -- figuring out how they really work being the first. And choosing an institution as !he account beneficiary is a no-no. (They don '! have life expectancies, so they 're out.) Bul if you take the ttme, and if you have more money in your retirement account than you 'll ever need in thi s lifeume, slretchouts are one mexpensive way to share your wealth with those you care for. At Sentinel, annual maintenance fees on their Super IRA currently run $15 a year, and at T.Rowe Price, the maxtmum is $10 per fund.

ROSENBERG AP Business Writer NEW YORK - It's hard to believe Wall Street could outdo itself after propelling the Dow Jones indus· trial average from 10,000 to 11.000 in just over a month this past spring. But the Nasdaq co mposite index turned in its own rapid, I,OOO·point rise an~ this past week hurtled past 4,000 for the first time. It took the Nasdaq seven weeks to make the climb to its latest milestone, a lillie longer than the Dow required. But in that time, the Nasdaq rose a phenomenal 33 percent. more than triple the 10 percent advance the Dow enjoyed in its last I.OOO· point trek. A confluence of factors is be hi nd the surge in the technology.Jominal· cd Nasdaq. Most notorious is the in vesti ng public's hunger for Internet stocks. .but technical factors such as a limit· ed number of available shares for fit: Friday, December 24, 1 Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio A 8 • The Dally Sentinel role. And underpinning it all are some fundamental shifts in the U.S. ccon· nmy. "The whole economy is moving fro m the manufacturing-extrac tive industries into in fo nnation process- ing and de livery and most of these (Nasdaq) stm:ks lie " in those growing sectors. sai d Rohc- rt Sttwall. the president of Stovai i/Twc nty· First Ad\' i s ~ rs .

Those companies " basically reside in the Nasdaq ," he sai d. Moore noted that until the past decade. small companies that went public would stan out on the Nasdaq - or the over·the·counler market, as some Nasdaq companies also have a it was once known -and then move Clinton may not seek repayment WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Clinton says he mi ght be entitled to government rei mbursement for his lega l expenses. but " hi s instinct" is not to seek it. · Cl inton addressed a report last weekend in The Washington Post that he and Hillary Rodham Clinton were strongly considering requesting tax payer rei mbursement of several million doll ar~ in legal costs. '' I may be entitled to it. But my instinct is not to do it. But I've never really had a discussion about it." he said in an interview on CN N's 'Larry King Li ve" that was taped Wednesday for broadcast today. CNN made avail· able a transcript of the interview after the taping Wednesday. "I' ve been ve ry fortunate, I' ve had this legal defense fund. People have helped pay for my legal fees." The president's lawyer David Kendall , has called the report "entirely premature" because there still was an independent counsel, and said it was hoped the legal defense fund " will be suflicicnt. " to the New York Stoc k Exchange when they grew larger. But many of the most prominent names in high·tech and Internet stocks - Microsoft , Intel, Cisco, · Yahoo!, Amazon.com among man y, many others'- have remained on the Nasdaq which has helped the market grow in stature, and helped its index surge higher. · The Nasdaq has also been helped by the law of supply and demand. Many companies li sted on the Nas· daq market tend to have fewer puh· licl y traded shares, simply because they arc young and smalL But that means that when invc~ t ors are anx- iou s to huy the shares, they're will· ing to bid more and more money to get them. Thi s past week. Juno Oniine Ser· vices rose 77 percent Monday, and more than I 00 percent Tuesday after announcing it would launch a free Internet access service. With onl y 2.4 milli on Juno shares on the market, investors had to bid high to get them. Sim ilarly, CMGI shot up 22 per· cent Wednesday; it has just over 95 milli on shares. By comparison. Wal· Man has nearly 4.5 hill ion shares out· standin g. and IBM has I.H billion. Both arc on the NY SE. That 's not to say that the Nasdaq heav ywe ights :lren't pulling their wei ght.

"The largc·eap companies are drivin g it as we ll as the reall y newer companoes," said Rao Chalasani, chief investment strategist at Fi rst Union Securi ties m Chicago. Another factor in the Nasdaq advance is timing - it's the end of the year, and many people with yearend bonuses are pulling them into the market. Nasdaq issues are drawing a lot of that money. The Nasdaq reached 4,001.63 Thursday be fore slipping back to cl ose at 3.969.44. a gai n of 32. 14 on the day and 216.38 on the week. Thursday gave the Nasdaq its 13th record close this month; the index is up 81 percent for the year to dale.

His mother had just died, and he lay on )tis bed, lost in a world that at age I0 he couldn ' I comprehend. Earlier. before being sent to Barium Springs Home, 40 miles north of Charlolle, N.C., he had been a street urchin in Raleigh, unable to live with hi s alcoholic father. The streets were what he knew. Ahead lay long hours of work on the farm , a school schedule from · which he couldn 't escape, discipline, minule·by·minule supervision. Oth- . er kids had Christmas visions; in his, it was raining. Tod ay, McKenzie, parent, esteemed economist, University ofCalifor- : nia professor and prolific author, supports such homes. At Christmas,. he · can grow wistful for the good old days. • - •· This is an economic story, or at least one that has bearing on the econ- · omy. It's a story also of economic and personal success. , During the holidays it's a tradition, a natural impulse of soc iety, per· haps a religious imperative to contrast one 's good fortune with the dis· advantaged. McKenzie, a low· keyed, genial, comfortable, middle·agcr doesn't feel he was disadvantaged. "!feel I've had a set of life experiences others haven' t," he said frqm hi s Irvine, Calif., office this week. He feels others have missed out q11 a good thing. And he sees today 's kids, in fact all society, bein g denied some of the lessons he learned at Barium Springs. His explanmion lies in responses to a survey among 1,600 alumni of· nme boy's homes (ei ght privately supported, on e public), and described in his book, "Rethinking Orphanages for the 21 sl Century." . He asked graduates, for instance, what manered to them most in gro~: . in g up. First named was the work experience, including life skills apd :· teamwork. Then came the sense of responsibility. Then values, the reli· · gi ous and moral structure, the internal guidance. • On all social and economic measurements, McKenzie found - on edu· cation, income and altitude toward life - the alumni outranked their CQ\lll - : terpans in the ge neral population . " - junbq ~imtt· Section jeutiutl ' Y2K Bug • • puz~les Amish j: I • l • By AMY ~ETH GRAVES Asaoclllted Pre.. Writer KIDRON - Eli Miller will have his kerosene lamps lighted, his fam· ily crowded around him and a loaded shotgun nearby on New Year's Eve. Miller isn't a survivalist who feara the Y2K l;lug will wreck havoc all over the world. He's an Am ish man simply celebrating the start of a new year. " I prdbably shouldn 't say this but after midni,ght, I 'II take my shotgun and unload," Miller sai.d, eKplaining his version of fireworks. And, he admits he'll probably sneak a . pee~. at his non· Amish neighbdt's·'house to see if the lightS are on.

They live like We put our their forefathers did centuries ago hands with by using God." kerosene lamps for light, hqrliCdrawn buggies for transportation and wood stoves for heat. "There's this talk that when it turns 2000, computers will go back to 1900. How can they go back to the horse and buggy days when computers weren't even around then?" a perplexed Miller asked, tugging on his long beard. Allee Raber, an Amish business· man in this rural area about 50 miles south of Cleveland, has given some thought to the practical problems the ~ Y2K bug might present. The 52' ; • • yoar-old-cJiplllined-cthe ~bility"ofY2K troubles in a newsleller for the 30 people who work at his two businesses, Raber's Greenhouse and Berlin Gardens and Gazebos. Any serious problems would affect not only Raber 's businesses but the entire Amish community in Holmes County, home to about 17,000 Amish in a county of about 38,000 people. Many Amish families have strong financial ties to the nonAmish, whom they call "English.': They sell their wares to the English;, , work in their shops and rely on them for diesel to run equipment on their farms and in their houses. Natural gas cuns the hot water tank and · refrigerator at Miller's home. "The Amish are ultimately dependent. upon our economy. The perception of their sclf·sufficiency is not necessaril y accurate," said Conrad Kanagy, an associate professor of sociology at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa. But the Amish brush aside any concerns that their lives will be affected by the new year, saying God will take care of them, Kanagy said. That sentiment is echoed in a Y2K awareness brochure found at Berlin Bulk Food Store, which is staffed by many Amish wotkers. It advises readers that the future is secure for those who believe in Jesus Christ. "It's more curiosity than worry. Worry is not part of the scenario," Raber said. " We put our hands with God." The Amish find it a bit humorous that the English are afraid of living without electricity and doing thinp the otd.fashioned way. A cartoon that hangs in several Holmes County businesses shows an Amish man holding a pitchfork on his farm with " Y2K Ready" written across his chest. "It's ainazing how you can get that dependent on something that we have lived without," Raber said. The Amish man said he can't understand why so many pebple are Oocking to Lehman's hardware store to buy non-electrical· 'items. The store, which has catered to the · Amish silli;C 1955,. saw ill business double this year and no.w Y2K survivalists outnumber Amish cus-· tamers nine to one, said owner Jay. Lehman. The hottest items ar~ kerosene lamps, water pumJ!s, wood burning stoves and grain mills. "People have ·been buying wood burning stoves in case they're with·· I. out elecqicity. Why not put that ener~ gy toward fixing the problem instead?'' Raber said. "If you've gOt a: leak, y9u don 'I just )lUI a buckel • ~'If£ '! / ( . '~ I .. ·• ... I ~\ ..

Residents of.the small fishing eommu· , nity of Point Pleasant; N.J., plan on dropping Mo, a replica of an Atlantic bail fish covered with 1,500 Mylar scales, down-a 40-foot scaffold outside of their bowling alley, after being taken a mile out to sea aboard a fishing boat, returned to land and paraded through the streets. Although no one in the Ohio Valley is planning on parading a 10-foot wooden fish -to our knowledge, that is - most are planning to forget about the Y2K hype and use Dec. 31 as just another eKcuse to party, and busine~ such as the Holiday Inn in Gallipolis, which tripled .its alcohol order for the occasion, ate banking on it. "We arc eKpecting approKimately 175 or more people in the party, and at least 200 at the buffet," said Becky Bickle, Hoi· iday Inn guest service manager,"which is about average for a New Year's Eve party here." For $10 per person, party goers.will get party favots •11<1 a free glass of chamJlilgne at midnig~t. · A cover baild from the Cincinnati area will begin playing at 8:30 p.m., and doors will open at 8 p.m. Reservations are not required, but arc certainly advised. The Lowe Hotel in Point Pleasant, W.Va. will have its first New Yea(s Eve party, but owner Ruth Finley said it is "more of a family get·together." "It feels great to have the place come to life again," Finley said: "We are eKpecting anywhere from 100 to 150 people, and ••., '• Morgan Grandparents: Mary Kay a George Blanks •rio P•ren&•• a Holl7 Crow CJ••nd •ren&aa Zach a Tray Coates PerentSI Peyton Marie Humphreys ol•y a Bailey Parent•• Tl"' May•• a \~· PaPents•· Candace MllleP I Par'en&a• Heether Humphreys •·.,,. ,, .

"Tony Tenaglia, a guitarist from Columbus, will be coming down to play, and everybody at .the party will receive a free bottle of champagne." Mike Marchi of Marchi's Carryoul in Gallipolis claims he is "stocked and ready to go" for the rush of last-minute party goers. "We have not been able to get in a lot of the different champagnes this year . because only certain amounts are made, and they have already gone to the bigger cities." Marchi said. If you're looking for a more family-ori · ented affair, you need not look far. Grace United Methodist Church at Second and Cedar streets in Gallipolis is planning a party, beginning at 8:30 p.m., and everybody is welcome. "We just wanted to give people in the . area a nice place to spend quality time with their family." said Barb Kemper, a church representative. "The church is really a place that a lot of·people want to be tbis New Years." Y'ood and games ·start at 8:30 p.m., a New Year's Eve service is scheduled for 11:30 p.m., and a prayer for the new mil · :lennium will be offered at 1.2:05 a.m. And for the projected 6Q percent of · folks who plan to stay at home, don't worry if you waited until the last minute and couldn't find a baby-sitter. Spending ' th'is New Year's with your kids d~sn 't have to be a drag. By spending a little extra time preparing, your New Y~ar's bash can be kid friendly. Provide a fesdve sptice and meal area jUS\·for your younpters with colorful tableware and decorate it with a special theme such as "Star Wars" or Barbie.

I have trouble breathing and must use oxygen at )east 20 hours a day. My doctors say that nothing can be done. Would surgery be an option? : DEAR READER: Quite possibly, ;-cs. " Part of the breathlessness associ:;ued with emphysema and rel ated pulmonary disorders stems from overinflation of lung tissue. Parts of lhe lungs fill with large amounts of ~ tale air that cannot be ~xpelled and replenished. These spaces, which resemble balloons, compress surrounding normal pulmonary tissue and greatly increase the work of breathing. : Many medical centers now offer a procedure called lung volume reduclion surgery, during which stretched ~nd dilated portions of lung are removed to allow improved function of remaining pulmonary tissue . Proponents claim miraculous improvetnent; opponents challenge such findings. Recently, in the journal Thorax tl999; vol. 54), British investigators teviewed the literature on lung volume reduction surgery. They concluded that "LVRS appears to repre~eill a promising option in the man. ~gement ·of patients with severe endstage emphysema." : If you wish to consider such ther~py, ask your doctors to refer you to a major medical center where LVRS ls performed. You may well be a suitable candidate for the procedure. Let yne know how this works out.

Lipoid pneumonia continued to be a ~eahh problem until the 1950s; now it is a rarity. The most common cause of lipoid pneumonia these days is the aspiration of minerai , vegetable or animal oil-- or the use of nasal petroleum jelly, The condition has also been seen in people who use excessive quantities of lip balm. It has been reported in a pilot who sealed his high-altitude oxygen mask with petroleum jelly, in a singer who lubricated his vocal cords with mineral oil, in an elderly woman who sprayed household lubricant on het; ski n to relieve stiff joints, and in tobacco chewers in Guyana (where tobacco leaves are coated with petroleum jelly to moisturize them and enhance their flavor). Lipoid pneumonia causes cough and fever. The most successful treatment is surgical resection of the inflamed area.

JOHNSON Associated Press Writer Ever wonder if your doctor should be referring you to a specialist for treatment of a serious health problem ? Such nagging doubts might be justified: One in four front-line doctors worry they are treating complex conditions better left to specialists, according to a study published in today 's New England Journal of Medicine. The 1996-97 survey of 12,107 doctors found that 24 percent of primary care physici ans- family doctors , internists and pediatricians think the scope of care they are now expected to provide is too big. Among spec.ialists, 38 percent believe patients' conditions are too severe or complex by the time primary care doctors refer them for further treatment. ' Managed care and governmentfunded health plans, seek ing to rem in medical costs, increasingly use primary care physicians as gatekeepers to limit patients' access to high-priced specia li sts. HMOs sometimes offer gatekeepers finan cial incentives , such stayed the same to report concern. as bonuses for low referral rates. Primary care doctors were more "Our study shows thai has put likely to report excessive demands on some pressure on primary care physi- them if they had at least some t: ians to fu rther expand serv ices they patients in gatekeep1ng arrangements arc providing,.. said Dr. Robert St. Peter. who led the study at the Washington-hosed Center for Studying Health Systcm Cha nge. He said the study suggests that closer attention should be paid to the quality of care. St. Peter and other doctors also said that better residency training and continuing med ical educat ion arc cr'ucial . And the president of the American Medical Association, Dr. Thoma' R. Reardon. said the findings show the need for a national Patients Bill of Rights that would enable patients to sec a spec ialist more eas ily. According to the survey, 30 percent of primary care doctors and 50 percent of specialists said the scope of care primary doctors provide had expanded over the previous two years. Not surprisingly, primary care doctors whose scope of care had increased were 25 times more likely th,an those whose scope shrank or or derived some income from capi· tat ion -a Oat monthly payment per patient, from which costs of specialists' services may be deducted. The researchers did not examine patient records to determine whether any patients got poor care from over· burdened doctors. "I don 't think there 's anything in this that a patient should worry about," said Dr. Larry A. Green , who directs the policy center at the American Academy or Family Physic ians in Washington . He noted that?! percent of primary care doctors said the scope of care they give is about righ\.

Jay Jarvis Poinsettia hybrids catch on this year PmSBURGH (AP)- Twilight, Cortez Cherry, Sonora Jingle and Cranberry Punch are the exotic names growers are bestowing on new breeds of poinsettia, designed to offer a wider array of colors than the traditional bright red. More than three-fourths of some 60 million poinsettias sold last year had the Christmas-card style red leaves. But over the past decade, growers have been tinkering with hybrid plants to produce some uncon- . ventional colors. Hothouse.Floral Co. in Washingtoil County, Pa., offers 64 hybrid poinsettias. The eKplosion·in new colors has come in the past five years, said Gene Hudak, owner of Hothouse Floral. "And some are so new they don 't even have names yet," he ·said. Poinsettias are the top-selling potted plant, and most new varieties have been developed in the past decade. Supermarkets and discount chain stores are likely to stick with the traditional poinsettia because it sells best. Still, Hudak and other growers continue to expe.riment with new varieties that are produced with the help of the Penn State Cooperative E.xtension. These plants arc very different from the native Central American shrub that can grow up to 16 feet tall. Last year, for example. demand for the Winter Rose Dark Red, a poinsettia whose leaves are round and rose colored, was " phenomenal," Hudak said . , BuyA I QUEEN Size ' Set For A full Size • I PriCI. i-------------..o.. . . . . . . . . . . . .,. ,. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;. ; ; ; ;. . .,....;;;;;;;..;;;iij NOW OPEN EY CHIRO Clinic and Rehabilitation Center , HAVE HEARD THE NEWS!

Does a music born of the rural American experience have a place in a world connected by satellite television and the Internet, where a kid in Iowa might idolize an urban icon like Puff Daddy? It's hard to tell these days. Sales of traditional country music have dipped while some country artists, including Shania Twain, have found huge ' uccess crossing over to pop. " I truthfully don't believe that country is gaining more fans because of this (crossover) music," said Evelyn Shriver, president of the country division of Asylum Records. "What we're doing is we 're giving away the music to other formats and we' re frustrating the fans of our own for- Twain. "Ten years ago, we had what they called the class of 1989 (Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Clint Black) develop and spearhead a growth phase of country music that we enjoyed until the middle of the decade. We' ve got a couple more developed here lately, but we need another probably half-a-dozen to make it healthy again." · While Nashville searches for more stars, ominous signs abound. ~The Nashville Network, for years the home of country music on cable television, canceled several music-themed series.

DEAR DR. BLONZ: What is the relation between havmg a cold sore and havmg a cold? Is there something that can be done dietariiy to help pre· vent cold sores?- J.B. DEAR J.B.: It may be called a cold sore, but the connectton with actual colds ts mintmal. A virus is responsible for both, but tt"s not the same virus . The cold sore IS brought on by the activities of a spectfic vtrus: herpes simplex virus I (HSV I), while the common cold is caused by any of a (different) family of viral organisms. Most of us get over a cold m about a week and the cold virus 1s history. A cold sore may disappear tn the same amount of time, but the HSV I tends to hang around, lymg dormant in our nerve cells while 11 awaits the next opportumty to attack. There may be a correlation between havmg a cold sore and havmg a cold, but 11 would most likely be due to the fact that the 1mmune system IS taxed by the ongomg cold, providmg an InVItation for the herpes virus to come out and play. Other !actors that can provoke an outbreak 1f cold sores include stress, fever, excessiVe cold, sun or wmd exposure or an mjury to the lips or mouth There does appear to be a dtetary them.

Then there's the 's!!cular humanist magazine Free Inquiry, . which ended the millennium with the cover . story, "Of Myth & Men: Digging Up Dirt on · Jesus, Moses, Muhammad & Buddha." By coincidence, its author is also named ' ''Price: Robert M.

The criterion for the No. I spot was the "person who, for better or worse, most influenced the course of history over the past 100 years." Jesus would have seemed to qualify, since he influenced some of the century's great events. further explaining the omission of Jesus, Time said its choice was "a secular judgment.

"Ours is a poll that attempts to judge the works of mere men, the acts in which men render unto Caesar, and it does not try to measu re expressions of faith ." Time's Web site also' stated that only " living persons" were included .. The devout would naturally obje ct thatJesus is a " living person." What the magazi ne really wanted was " persons who lived on earth," which put various religious figure s among the contenders. Time's top 100 of the century included Graham, Pope John Paul II, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and Bill Wilson of Alcoholics Anonymous. Notable omissions included Pope John XXIII, Albert Schweitzer and the Dalai Lama. Several of the 100 were personally reli gious people chosen for secular reasons, among them: Philo Farnsworth, a Mormon who more or less invented television; Muslim convert and boxer Muhammad Ali; Hindu politician Mohandas Gandhi; and two Protestants, retailer Sam Walton, and Rosa Parks, who sparked the civil rights cause. The two Jew ish choices, David BenGurion and Anne Frank, are inspirational figures but not exactly rel igious ones. .Important anti-religious personalities also loomed large in Time's 20th ce ntury hall of fame: Freud, Hitler, Ho Chi Minh, Lenin and Mao Tse-tung. But as our troubled century ended, the irreligious leaders seem to have less lasting impact than the religious ones. - AP Religion Writer Richard N. Ostling formerly covered religion for Time. "I saw it was a fabulous vehicle to explore anything I wanted to explore thematically. It was a skeleton on which I could hang as much or as little as I wanted to hang."

To complete the cycle, as baseball commentators like to say, here is a wonderful piece of declarer-play. It was produced by Dick Budd of M aine during the Summer National s in San Anlonio. How would you try to make four spades? West leads what you know to be a singleton heart. Apparently West doubled like a man who was confident of the outcome. (That' s bard to do at a Nation· als, because the auction. proceeds silently, via biddin g boxes. You place your bid on the table, using cards.) South won with the heart ace. then led the spade queen. (If you had led the ace and another spade, you would have gone down. West takes his two trump tricks, then exits with the club king. Even if you win with dummy's ace, di scarding your heart loser, and play a diamond to your king, West · has two winning defenses; duck, or · win and exit with the club quee n..) West returned the club king. However, Budd ruffed i n hand, cashed the spade ace. and put West on play with his spade winner. What could West do now? If he tries a low club, declarer would call for dummy's jack and throw both his low red-suit losers on the club winners. If West leads a low diamond, dummfs 10 wins lhc trick. and South's heart lose r evaporates on the club ace. So, West cashed the di amond ace, but Budd was ready -- he unblocked the king' This cndplaycd West again. He had to give two tricks to the dummy, on which Soulh 's' losers disappeared.

Law enforcement agencies throughout the region reported several weather-related wrecks causing vehicle and property damage but no significant injuries. Road crews began treating main thoroughfares overnight Thursday; however, side roads and neighborhood streets remained dangerous as ice was hidden underneath the thin layer of snow that coated the roads. The one to two inches of snow was early .Christmas present for the Ohio Valley, but as of 7 a. in. Friday, forecasters did not expect the snow to be around by the time Santa Claus visits the area. The Christmas Day forecast calls for sunny skies with highs in the mid-30s and lows in the mid-20s. Sunday is expected to be part· ly cloudy with the high temperature reaching into the 40s, with a low around 30. Elsewhere in the Buckeye State, a batch of lake effect squalls caused wintery weather throughout northeast Ohio's "snow.. belt." The storms brought heavy snow to the area east of Oeveland toward Ashtabula Thursday. About 20 inches of snow fell in Madison Township in Lake County. The National Weather Service said intense snow showers and squalls would result in an additional four to eight inch~ of snow overnight and into today in eastern Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties. Part of Interstate 90 is in the heart of the heavy snowfall area .. The weather service warned travelers there to expect poor visi· bility and icy roads. Lake-effect snow occurs. when cold air carryiils· moisture blo.ws inland off Lake·Erie, causing bad weather along the Jake's eastern shores. · Little snow was recorded Thursday in downtown Cleveland and .west of the city.

REED Times-Sentinel Staff UTLAND - When Duane Weber used to look at his family's vintage sleigh, he could almost hear the bells jingling, and feel the biting wind on his face. A year ago, Weber's "one-horse open sleigh" was in no condition to ride, an~ sat in the front yard as part of his family's Christmas decoration. The sleigh is still being used for decoration, but now sits in the living room, gleaming from a restoration project which took several months to complete. From runner to seat, from whip to shaft, the sleigh, which dates back to the earliest part of the century, was restored by Weber for a love of sleighs and as a remembrance of his parents and grandparents. "As a kid, I was always fascinated with sleighs and sleigh rides," Weber said. "Since I've been grown, I've talked about restoring it." Weber traces the sleigh, a Portland Cutter, back to his· maternal great-grandfather, William "Poppy" Plumber, but he doesn't know where it came from originally. Pictures from the family album show Weber's mother, Margaret Milhoan Weber, riding in the sleigh in the 1940s, and as a child, he remembers the sleigh in the front yard of the family's Rut· land home at Christmas time. In March of this year, Weber loaded up the sleigh and took it to Mount Hope, where Ivan Burkholder of Woodlyn Carriages began to dis- mantle the sleigh, removing wooden pieces which were in poor shape, and replacing them with new birch panels. Other panels which were deemed salvageable were left on the sleigh. Once Burkholder finished his 80 hours of work on the sleigh, Weber brought the sleigh back home, and began the arduous task of sanding and repainting. Using acrylic enamel automotive paint (at nearly $150 a gallon), Weber painted the sleigh a rich red color. But the work was only just beginning for Weber, who spent many summer nights in the garage on the project. After the sleigh's body was in tip-top shape, he disassembled all of the metal "-I - Pleaae see Sleigh, A2 PleaaeaeeY2K,A2 Feds: Suspected terrorist ~rained in Afghani~tan Good !Homing DIRECTORS By LARRY MARGASAK Aaaoclated Preaa Writer Farmers Bank & Savings Company Farmers Bancshares, Inc.

Richard Shelby, 'hairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in an interview Thursday. Shelby, R·Aia, said a U.S. military attack "would be in order" if any terrorist group makes the "terrible mistake" of attacking Americans. He said U.S. intelligence is relent· Jessly pursuing bin Laden and "sooner or later, I believe our search and our diligence will pay off." Shelby's Democratic counterpart· on the intelligence panel, Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebras· ka, cautioned that American officials risked "making a wider war" if they arc· not careful when publicly identifying possible terrorists. · "We take sides in regional conflicts, we are forward deployed, we arc a very successful liberal democracy that tends to breed jealousy if not outright animosity," he said. Since Ressam's arrest last week, the gov· · ernment has stepped up security at border crossings, federal buildings and airports. It also has urged caution for Americans worldwide during year-end celebrations, and the FBI warned again Thursday that Americans should watch for P<>tential mail bombs. U.S. officials said late Thursday they were pursuing numerous leads in many cities but had not substantiated any specific threats against any domestic sites. Nonetheless, the Energy Department was taking extra security precautions at its nuclear weapons facilities and other sites, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said. The U.S. attorney's office in Vermont said ·American intelligence has connected Lucia Garofalo, the Canadian woman arrested Sun· day at a remote border outpost in that state, to the Algerian Islamic League. Auth<lrilics traced Garofalo's cellular phone and car to an Algerian man living in Can!~'~.; Brahim Mahdi, who authorities said was a member of the Algerian Islamic League. Pederal prosecutors in Vermont said the group's founder was Mourad Dhina, whom they described as an arms trafficker for terrorists. Mahdi, in an interview in Montreal on Thursday, said he had no connection with terrorism. Ohina, a scientist living in GenevB, !!lid the claims being made about him were "cor.n· pletely surreal." The allegations were leveled during a hearing in federal court on whether-to keep Ms. Garofalo, 35, and the Algerian man aoconipanying her, Bouabide Chamchi, 20, in jail. U.S. authorities first had said traces of cxplosivei were detected in the car they were driving, But later said further checks had turned up nothins. -~· '• .. .
