The majority of Y2K "experts" are asktng people to prepare for the event as they would for a wtnter storm. That's always good advtce this time of year.

So whtle a few people are busy ol' fashioned stocktng up supplies for an extendwinter storm, ed Y2K-related emergency, most satisfied with a few days of Y2K should be are canned food and some form of a snap. alternative heat - and that should be sufficient. Public safety officials say to have enough food, water, flashlights and batteries, candles and matches to last for 72 hours. If you have a wood-burning stove or kerosene heater, have some fuel stocked away - this way, you 'II also be ready for most anything Y2K or Mother Nature can dish out. It also would be wise to reacquaint yourself with your neighbors- just in case the Y2K Bug bites. We believe this to be a prudent move wtth or without Y2K. Folks need to return to those friendly days of yesteryear when we all knew who lived next door. That step might solve a lot of the problems facing our communities today. Although winters here in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia are usually fairly mtld, most of us are no strangers to the occasional winter storm. Although recent winters have been unusually mtld, that's no reason to be lured into complacency. Most people in the Gallia-Mason-Meigs area can well recall the storm 9f January 1994, whic~ dropped more than two feet of snow and the following days of sub-zero weather which effectively shut down much of the area Some residents were without electricity and heat for the better part of a week, and then had to contend with frozen and cracked water ptpes. Furthermore, as a testimony to the hardiness of the local residents, most people were able to remain at home. We made it through that disaster, and we 'll make it through Y2K. Frankly, compared to a good ol' fashioned winter storm, Y2K should be a snap. The Dally Sentinel • Page A3 Pomeroy, Middleport, Oh1o ...

So far, only M1chigan has taken advantage of that provision. Since October, welfare applicants have been requtred to take a urine test in three parts of the state, mcludmg Detroit There need not be even a susp1cion that a particular apphcant uses drugs Anyone who tests positive must enroll in a substance abuse treatment plan. Refusal to subm1t to the testmg or to enter treatment result~ m famthes with children under 18 losing monthly cash payments This mcome support ts called a "fam1ly independence benefit" by the state Michigan welfare officials claim thts program wtll help prepare apphcants for work and keep !amilies together Adults who need mcome assistance but have no children do not have to be tested because they arc not eligible for welfare in Mich1gan- as dec1ded by ~epubhcan governor John Engler lDn Sept 30, the American Civ1l Liberties Umon of Michigan filed a lawsuit on behalf of all Michigan welfare applicants, claiming " mandatory drug testing of a broad swath of the adult population has never m our nat1on 's h1 story been enacted by a state govern men~ much less approved by a court. " Actually, Louisiana did pass such a law in 1997, but dec1ded mstead to requ1re applicants to answer a questionnaire about drug use. Courts have approved mandatory testing of narrow sectors of the population - such as ratlroad engmeers, who hold dangerous JObs, or student athletes. But not yet all welfare applicants. Among the named plaintiffs are Tanya March winski and Terri Konieczny, both single mothers eligible for welfare assistance. The ACLU says Marchwinski has a kidney disorder and a degenerattve dtsc dtsease that requ1res medtcatton She does have a JOb, paying $5 2~ an hour, but wtlhout welfare assistance, she >ays, she would not be able to pay for necessities for her children. On Nov. 10, U.S Distnct Court judge V1ctoria Roberts provtstonally ended M1chtgan's drug testmg of welfare applicants by grantmg a temporary restraming order on the ground that requiring such tests - without individualized reasonable susplcton- is "likely unconstitutional. While 11 is clearly tn the pubhc interest," she says, " to have all members of soctety drug-free and workmg 1 these goals cannot be pursued at the expense of the Constitution." Judge Roberts noted the state had not disclosed any "spectal need" for lhts dragnet testing-- especially after the state revealed the results of the five weeks of testmg before it was stopped Of 268 people tested, only 21 - 8 percenttested positive for drugs. All but three had used mar1juana. The 8 percent, the ACLU says, is conSistent w1th drug use 10 the general population Judge Roberts has scheduled additional hearings on whether she should issue a permanent injunction, and, if so, whether to grant the ACLU's request that this become a class-action suit, covertng all wei fare apphcants 10 the stale In tts court papers, the M1ch1gan ACLU emphasized "ea.h of the plaintiffs are stigmatized and dis: cnminated against" because Michigan "does not require random drug testing as a conditton for . receiving other state financial benefits, such ~ : those provided to students, corporations and tu, payers." • Michtgan's drug-testmg program, says the ACLU, "brands recipients as innately infenor to other recipients of state financial assistance." In the 1970 Goldberg vs. Kelly case, Justice William Brennan held, for the first time, that 11 was unconstttuttonal to cut off welfare payments without first gtving the rec1p1ents nottce and a hearmg. The core of his decision relates to Michigan's case: · "From its founding," Brennan wrote, "~~ : Nat1on 's basic commibnent has been to foster tiW ; dignity and well being of all persons within its bOf~ ders We have come to recogmze that forces not w1thm the control of the poor contribute to their : poverty." · '"' Quoting the prologue of the Constitution, Bre~; ~ : nan contmued. "Public assistance, then, is not mere~ chanty, but a means to 'promote the General Wet- , fare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Postenty. "' But, as Kary Moss of the ACLU charges, Michi· gan is nonetheless "saying that if you want for food and shelter, you have to give up the Amendment rights that others have."

I thmk My w1le and I had been planmng an Rex needs tn he told in nn uncertain even mg oul. and my in - law~ offered Digital cameras offer travelers options By RICK SAMMON For AP Special Features • ·For years . photographer~ traveled With in stan t cam eras for a good reason : they wanted to c· reatc a rcla.<cd at mosphere by showmg people how thev look in a photograph. This technique worked especial ly well when photographing subjects in small towns and villages where cameras were a no\'elty. .... After sharing the instant p1cture. the photographer could then switch to hi s or her "good" 35m m camera to take a high-quality picture. " Today, photographers are using consumer digital cameras ($500 to $1,000} with picture-di splay panels to show subjects how they look. Again, thi s technique generates good feelings . . But digital photographers with a 2-megapixcl (or higher) zoom lens camera don't have to swi tch 10 a "·good" camera, because, in most cases. the image quality from the megapixel image sensor is acceptable for pnnts up to 8 by 10 inches. . Difilal cameras offer another advantage fo r travel photo[raphers: Pictures can be deleted at the touch of a button. Therefore, you can reserve space on your e-film (inemory cards and disks) for your very best pictures. Yet another advantage of taking travel pictures with a digital camera is the ease and speed of gelling your pictures into your computer (via card readers. cables or disks) for sharing, printing and enhancement. :u you are thinking of using a digital camera for travel Jlhotography, here are some things to consider: ;-Battery Power. Picture display screens (technically called liquid crystal displays or LCDs) "eat" ballery power very, very quickly. For example, the power from th4 camera's batteries may last for less than 20 minutes . if rou have the screen on all the lime. •Your options: Cut down on screen time, carry lots of . . rechargeable liaueries (many digital cameras are shipped with rechargeable ballerics and chargers), or use an c.<ternal bauery pack which will last many limes longer than your in-l:amera batteries. . - Memory. Most cameras offer a choice of picturequality senings: good, beller and best. Some even offer an ultra selling for the ultimate in image capture . As _the quality of your picture (file size) increases. so does the rate at which your e-li lm 's memory is used . If you want to make high-quality prints on your printcr. you need to shoot at the memory-hungry high or ultra selling. But if you want to e-mai l your pictures only to family and friends, then using the good, less memoryeating selling is adequate. · As the memory capability (number of storable pictures) of your e-film increases, so does the cost. For e.<ample. a 160 MB (megabyte card) may cost about $700, while a 48 MB card may only cost about $225. There are three reasons why it 's advisable to travel with several memory cards or disks and swap them from time to time: -One, it's not a good idea to have all your pictures in one place, just in case your camera is stolen. -Two, as you are deleting pictures, you might accidentally press the "delete all" bullon and erase all your memories on one card or disk. - Three, in haste, you might try to remove your efilm while the camera is on, which may result in data loss. · , One more thought on deleting pictures.

Fortunately, it is treatabl e. Ut:(fortunately, most people s u~ferm~ from 11 are not gettmg the treatmc.nt they need. People do not gel trC:Jitment for mental illness for a vll!iety of reasons, one of which is the stigma society allac hes. Too oft&n, people who exhibit symptoms of':mental tllness are ndtculed ~r fe~red. Many people. JUSt don I u~erstand that mental Illnesses arc bnjin d1seases and are JUS! as senous as physical illnesses. Common menta!_:~lhiesses include depression and aiUiety-related diSorders. . 'Pepression is. a medical illness hk~ dtabetes or h1gh blood pressure. P~ple don't choose to be depressed. It affects about 17 pe rcent of people. m the U.S. at some ttme m then hves ant! is twice as common in women as In men. Symptoms of depression m~lude the following: ~ Feeling sad most of the day, nearly every day, for two weeks or longer ~ Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy :• Lack of energy • Sleep and appetite disturbances • Weight changes • Feelings of hopelessness. helplessness and worthlessness • Not being able to make dccis1ons • Thoughts of death and suicide The exact cause of depression is not known. Doctors think it may be caused by a chemical imbal ance in the brain. The imbal ance could be caused by your genes or by events in your li fe. Some times there aren·, enough chemical messengers (called neurotransmitters ) in the brain. These neurotransmillers carry messages (nerve impul ses) from one nerve cell to another. When there are n't enough of these messengers, certain messages don 't get carried to some areas of the brain . Two primary messengers, serotonin and norepincphrine, are responsible for your moods. Depression can be treated with med icines and counseling. This combination helps most people by encouraging a positive change in one's view of himself while treating physical symptoms. Panic disorder is a common condition in which a person has uncomfortable episodes of fear or anxiety that occur suddenly (often without warning). The auacks, called panic auacks. can last from minutes to hours. They may occur only seldomly, or quite frequently . The cause for lncse allacks may not be obvious. Panic auacks are often associated with physical symptoms such as shaking , heart palpitations, sweat· ing, chest pain , shortness of breath, a fee ling of choking, and headache. A person may also have an extreme fear of dying, losing control or going crazy during a panic attack. Often. just the fear of having the symptoms of a panic attack is enough to trigger the symptoms. This is the basis for agoraphobia. With agoraphobia. a person find s it difficult to leave home or another safe area because of the fear of having a panic attack in public or of not having an easy way to escape if symptoms start. Many of the symptoms that occur during a panic attack are the same as the symptoms of disease of the heart, lung, intestine or nervous systern. The similarities of panic disorder to other diseuses may add to the person 's fear and anxiety during and after a panic attack. Because of embarrassment or the fear of taking medicine, many persons who have panic allacks do not seek medical care. these people avoid the simple treatments that can help control their problem. If you have panic attacks, it is very important to seek medical care and discuss your problem with your doctor. After you have been evaluated thoroughly, your doctor will be able to tell you if the panic auacks are related to panic disorder or caused by another problem.

Africa, Asia main spots of. concern ByDAVIDHO Associated Preas Writer WASHINGTON - Peace Corps volunteers m nearly a dozen nations are moving from assigned posts to safer locations in their host countries because of potential disruptions caused by the Y2K computer bug. Most of the 7,000 volunteers in 78 countries will remain where they live and work, which often are rural locations far from potential disruphons. But in some nations, more severe problems cou ld cut off volunteers in the field from vital supplies, transportation or contact with their local beadquarters. In those countries, th e Peace Corps has e~couraged volunteers to vacation back in the United States, ~aid spokesman Brendan Daly. To avoid the risk of those remaining oecoming completely iso lated, 111any will travel to central meeting places, often in their host country's capital. · By New Year's Eve, volunt eers are expected to ·have moved in Belize, Madagascar, Moldova, Mon· golia, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Slovakia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The corps will use some of the Y2K gatherings for training workshops or New Year's parties. Roslyn Docktor, the Peace Corps Y2K director, said each country's headquarters prep~res its own response, determining if rural or urban locatio.ns present greater risks ·and ensuring they can contact all volunteers. Plans may chang~ up until the last minute, as in Benin, Jamaica, Ne(lal and Papua New Guinea, where volu'nteers may also relocate, she said. In Zambia, a Texll'·size country in south-central Afnca, about 60 volunteers will travel to the capital in Lusaka, said Brian Cavanagh, the Peace Corps country director. "We're fee ling more confident that there won't be a calamitous transition," he said in an interview from Lusaka. Cavanagh said scheduled training classes and medical exams were . scheduled to coincide with the new year,liringing most volunteers to the capitaL This · leaves enough resources to transport the 35 people remaining out in the field if necessary. . Elsewhere in Africa, there have been concerns that computer problems with banks could keep 'people from being paid, resulting in civil unrest, Daly said. While U.S. officials say America is mostly prepared, Y2K readiness varies around the world, especially in a handful of African and Eastern European countries. "Over· the past year, the Peace Corps has planned extensively for Y2K, adopting precautionary mea- . sures and developing contingency plans to minimize potential risks to · ensure the safety of its volunteers," Docktor said. She said Peace Corps offices around the world have emergency generators and two kinds of satellite telephones for backup communications. A few have stockpiled food, water and fuel, and some volunteers · will receive sleeping bags, .flashlights and medical supplies. "We're more accustomed to .. ', • ..•' -·.· The VICA students~!

" He hit that three with a hand in his face and there's nothing you can do when those shots go down,". Cavaliers coach Randy Wittman said after his team's seventh straight loss. Said Bob Sura, who scored 20 points to share Cleveland scoring honors with Lamond Murray: "We' re fru strated. Seven straight losses and we have no answers, really." Sura made two free tl1rows with ,44.5-seconds left to make it 91 -90.

That pretty much summed up the sentiment in the Ravens' locker room. Even though Baltimore played one of its best games of the season, the prevailing feeling was that the effort was for naught. " It 's sweet but it's bittersweet because we found that Buffalo beat New England today, which axed our chances," defensive tackle Rob Burnett said. " We ' re happy and we' re satisfied with today 's work, but as far as the season is. concerned I'm disappointed." Matt Stover kicked five field goals for the Ra~e ns , who will be shooting for a wmnmg season . next week in the finale at New England. "We're going to play our heans out. We want to finish up on a good note," Woodson said. The Ben gals (4-11 ), vying for their first four-game winning streak since 1989, never had a chance. Cincinnati , which averaged 36 points over its previous four games, fell behind 16-0 at halftime and suffered its first shutout on the road since dropping a 20-0 decision to Pittsburgh in 1992. . "We've been averaging 35 points a game and we score zero. No, we didn ' t play worth a dat:nn. " Cincinnati coach Bruce Coslet sa1d . "We didn't play quite up to our standards, let's put it that way." Pro Bowl-bound Corey Dillon, coming off three straight I00-yard games. was held to 27 yards on 10 carries before leavmg m the. thtrd quarter with· a left knee sp rain. Baltim ore has ye t to allow a I00yard rusher this season. . Jeff Blake threw two mterccptions in the pi votal first half and tinished 20-for-37 for 187 yards. He was sacked seven times, three by Michael McCrary. . Down 16-0, the Bengals moved from their 4 to the Baltimore two in a 20-p\ay drive that consumed 9:44. But Keith Washington blocked Doug Pelfrey's field goal try with 13:20 left, and the Ravens moved 68 yards before Stover connected from 30 yards. " I don't know if it sums up the season, but you've got to get it in the ~nd zone," Cos let said. "At the very least, kick a field goal. Their kicker kicked (five) field goals; our kicker missed. " Baltimore's Tony Banks threw a touchdown pass to Erricl Rhcll and completed 15 or 33 passes for 187 yards and one inten:eption . He has II touchdown passes and four interceptions during the four-game streak . With no playoffs to look forward to: the Ravens arc already peeking ahead to next year. "ll 's a great season to bui ld a foundation on. Hopefull y we can get the guys signed next year that need to be signed and bring the other guys back," defensive tackle Tony Siragusa said.
