│ HeadLine: Concerned About Your Hair? │
│ Story: A man was sentenced today to three years in prison for caring too │
│ much about his hair. No, it isn't what it sounds like. He was │
│ arrested for shop lifting items from his local supermarket. All │
│ items shoplifted were items for the hair. The evidence against him│

│ HeadLine: Thieves Became Seasick │
│ Story: Coast Guard crew saved two boys today who had stolen a yacht. The │
│ boys became seasick after taking a 40 foot yacht, taking a cruise │
│ across the bay to the Atlantic Ocean. They were caught five miles │
│ out to sea when they stopped the yacht, having become so seasick │
│ they couldn't go any further. │
│ │
│ HeadLine: This Is A Burglar? │
│ Story: Police still can't find an explanation for the "burglar" who broke │
│ into a house, took the old curtains and replaced them with new. │
│ He also removed the trash, made the bed, put dirty clothing laying │
│ on the floor into a clothes hamper. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't │
│ call this a burglar, more likely a maid. │

│ Phrase Craze! Page 17 │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ * Skeleton in the closet: to hide something, generally a deep dark secret │
│ of a family. No one is certain how this phrase came about. The first │
│ known written form of the phrase was in 1845 in The Oxford English │
│ Dictionary. The first time it appeared in any story was in William │
│ Makepeace Thackeray when he used it in a story submitted and printed in │
│ a magazine called Punch. │
│ * Johnny-come-lately: someone who arrives late or someone who is not very │
│ experienced, or a newcomer. The usage of this phrase first appeared in │
│ 1839 when journalist Charles F. Briggs wrote it in "The Adventures of │
│ Harry Franco." It was used originally when identifying a new sailor on │
│ board a ship; generally called a Johnny Newcome, it soon was converted │
│ to our current phrase of today. │
│ * Betting on a dark horse: of course this term comes to us from the rac- │
│ ing world. But the meaning may be surprising to you. It was originally │
│ used to describe a horse that had been kept under-wraps and his qualities│
│ a secret. The phrase was first used by Benjamin Disraeli in "The Young │
│ Duke" in 1831. It has come to mean something else entirely today. The │
│ phrase has now come to mean someone or anything that was not counted up- │
│ on. In political worlds it has come to mean the candidate that isn't │
│ likely to win. │

│ To the dedicated readers of the Chatterbox BBS! We received this week a │
│ message from your SysOp regarding the delay in getting Eeeek BITS! The │
│ comments he left were these: │
│ ".....so why can't you get the thing on time?" │
│ Don't blame your SysOp. We have had a series of odd things happen lately │
│ in our private lives and the result has been to delay the magazine. Sorry │
│ it has happened, but these things do happen from time to time. │
│ "......Can you find the mag on another system?" │
│ Sorry, nope! We create the magazine and your SysOp picks it up directly │
│ from us. It isn't any place else until it is on our BBS system. │
│ ".....How come the computer is down or you say the phone doesn't answer." │
│ Well when we know we are going to be delayed with the magazine, we take │
│ our system down in hopes we save SysOps calling long distance those addi- │
│ tional costs of calling and not getting the most recent issue. │
│ We are happy you are dedicated to our magazine. We hope you will under- │
│ stand that besides doing the magazine weekly we also work 40 hours a week, │
│ have families to take care of and on occasion we must tend to the family │
│ needs first. We try our best to be on time for you each and every week. │
│ We always hope to bring you the best we are capable of presenting. We do │
│ promise one thing, we will not put out an inferior magazine to save time. │

├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ It is getting near again. Better start getting ready! They are in the │
│ stores already, on display, reminding you that you must take some action. │
│ What is it? Why it is a Valentine's Card. This custom comes to us from │
│ two customs that were combined. The Romans celebrated the festival of │
│ the Lupercalia on February 15th and they also believed that on February │
│ 14th was the first day of spring and the mating season for birds. The │
│ latter promoted people to begin selecting mates on the 14th and having a │
│ festive celebration of their choice on the 15th. Over several years this │
│ remained the custom. Finally the two days were combined and Valentine's │
│ Day was born officially. │
│ The first Valentine was designed and developed by one Charles, Duke of │
│ Orleans in 1415. Charles was held prisoner during the war and often times │
│ wrote romantic poems to his wife. Hence the writing of poetry to one's │
│ valentine. │
│ The actual printed Valentine was the invention of Frank Staff in the 17th │
│ century. By the 1780s the printed Valentine became quite common, gaining │
│ huge popularity in Germany especially, where they called them "friendship │
│ cards." │
│ So don't forget your Valentine on February 14th! Get that card early and │
│ maybe some flowers or candy. │

│ Martha Washington was a terrible speller, she spelled "Cat" with 2 "t"s. │
│ │
│ Ida McKinley suffered from seizures, probably epilepsy. The way she & │
│ her husband dealt with this during a State Dinner, was when a fit would │
│ begin, William would drop a hankie over her face. She would leave it on │

│ incense which hung in heavy folds on the stale air of the little chapel. │
│ Through eyes watering uncontrollably, the newest member of Team Eeeek │
│ squinted toward the altar and its seven high priestesses shrouded there │

│ Stella, Stella, Stella! │

│ The Krausmeyer drew his neck into his shirt collar - an instinctive │

│ │
│ But what - WHAT! - was that reason? │
│ │
│ "Purify our hearts, oh Prince, that when Thy time is at hand, Thy │

│ the chancel rail, the little man was accosted by a huge male acolyte. │

│ "Have you risen for the cleansing?" the gruff voice asked. │
│ │
│ Hymie shook his head and was waving the question away with a smile when │
│ the corner of his diverted eye inadvertently caught the scrutiny in the │
│ man's face. Oh, no, he thought; I'm in for grilling now! "All are welcome │
│ at the gate of light," the man said. "Present yourself to the healing." │
│ │
│ That's when the Krausmeyer noticed that the service was far from │
│ concluded; every aisle in the chapel had filled with waiting supplicants. │
│ Hymie glanced behind the rail and saw that the "Servants" had engaged in │
│ a sort of "laying on of the hands" with the congregation. As each member │
│ stepped forward, she was seated on a low stool and subjected to the │

│ beautiful seven "Servants" who had entered, turned up their noses and │
│ hastily retreated. Although he was in no mood for further rejection, he │
│ evidenced a certain fascination for the occult objects which adorned the │
│ darkened room. There were cauldrons and bottles and gemstones and amulets │
│ resting everywhere. │
│ │
│ "Most of the items housed here are centuries old," the woman said. "Some │
│ of them pre-date the time of Christ." When Hymie looked at her, she │
│ added, "We use them in our rituals." │

│ Hymie's curiosity had peaked enough that he wanted to ask questions - but │
│ of course he couldn't. The kind woman seemed to sense his impairment and │
│ spoke for him. │
│ │
│ "Mostly we do healing," she explained. "We believe in the power of the │
│ Spirit within and strive to help our aspirants release their own energy. │
│ We don't employ coercion and we ask for no financial obligation." Then │
│ she waited. │
│ │
│ The Krausmeyer's head dropped momentarily to his chest; then he slowly │
│ lifted his eyes imploringly into the woman's gaze. │
│ │
│ "You're wondering why the Seven rejected you?" she asked. "Do you really │
│ want to know?" │
│ │
│ Hymie nodded. │
│ │
│ "They were afraid of you. That is, they were afraid of your infirmities. │
│ They didn't believe they could help you." Hymie's eyes clouded with │
│ doubt. │

│ "All right," she said. "Your capacity for discernment is greater than I │
│ had imagined. It is rare that anyone doubts my occasional 'white lie.' │
│ But I hope you'll also discern that I only meant to spare you." Hymie │
│ nodded. For some reason he did trust this woman, her open expression, │
│ her tone of voice, her willingness to admit fault, & for the same reasons,│
│ he found himself liking her. │
│ │
│ "In our work, it is necessary to touch the supplicant. We do this to draw │
│ attention to a particular chakra in order that the supplicant stimulate │
│ the area with her attention. The reason the ladies didn't work with you │
│ is that they didn't want to place their hands on you," the woman admitted │
│ quietly. "They found your physique beyond their capacity to control their │
│ revulsion. I...I hope I haven't offended you too much." │
│ │
│ The Krausmeyer nodded sadly. Yes the woman's explanation rang with truth; │
│ he'd had such experiences throughout his life & could envision the disgust│
│ he'd engendered in the pretty young ladies. He pressed his lips firmly │
│ together, to contain his own self-revulsion, & batted the moisture from │
│ his eyes with a series of quick blinks. When he'd regained control, he │
│ started to leave; but the woman stopped him with her words. │

│ "I have some idea of rejection," she told him. "The only reason I'm │
│ tolerated as a Servant is that when I was a child, it was foretold that I │
│ would live to see the Coming of the Master. The young ones keep me around│
│ in hopes that they'll be present if the prophecy comes true. Other than │
│ that, I'm not of much use to anybody." Hymie peered into the woman's eyes│
│ - and found understanding. "I'm a good healer," the woman whispered. │
│ "Please... It would be my honor to be your Servant." │
│ │
│ The gangly, unattractive old woman held out her hands. Into them slipped │
│ the Krausmeyer. While the misshapened fingers probed the little man's │
│ skull, the 7 beautiful "Servants" filed in the room. "You're not TOUCHING │
│ him, are you?" one of them hissed. Another said, "We must remain clean! │
│ For the UnAnointed! Even one as...one who has contributed as much as you │
│ should attempt to remain undefiled!" │
│ │
│ "Undefiled?" the old woman echoed. "How can one become defiled in the │
│ Master's work?" Then she said to the Krausmeyer, "You've an abundance of │
│ spiritual energy, you should let it pass into the world where it would │
│ benefit all." Repositioning her hands, she said, "An eye for the blond, │
│ eh? She's not worthy of you. Besides...she's too tall." │

│ The seven "Servants" grew more agitated with each caress. "Mother!" one │
│ of them said. "Heal him if you must! But don't linger on the soiled! A │
│ man's true spirit is reflected in his body! And this unfortunate has │
│ obviously tainted his spirit with his choice of life!" │
│ │
│ The older woman, gaining more confidence with each pass along the │
│ Krausmeyer's skull, ignored the young woman's admonitions. "I see you're │
│ a friend of sister Stella's," she said to Hymie. "Please thank our sister │
│ for her perception and diligence. May I proceed along your Chakras?" │
│ Hymie, wondering how much of his life the big woman had seen and chosen │
│ not to announce, nodded and the ancient healer raised her large hands │
│ from his skull to place her fingertips on his forehead. She pressed down │
│ and drew her fingers along his face, released, then repeated the motion. │
│ │
│ "Your native intelligence is blocked, as our sister suggests, by a life- │
│ choice. This too can be released for the benefit of yourself and your │
│ fellows. Relax. Allow your natural powers free reign. They won't harm │
│ you." The big woman turned to her companions. "Sisters, would you send │
│ our new friend a small gift of your energy? He has come in quest and our │
│ obligation as healers is to assist him in every way that we are able." │

│ Shamed by the sincerity of their elder sister's words, the young │
│ "Servants" bowed into their task. Soon the seven were transmitting a │
│ collective energy flow into the sickly body of the Krausmeyer. │
│ │
│ The older woman touched Hymie's throat, pondered what she felt there, and │
│ said, "There is nothing wrong with your voice. You could speak if you │
│ willed to do so. Why do you choose to bind your energy in such a manner?" │
│ │
│ Embarrassed the Krausmeyer didn't answer. And with the seven "Servants" │
│ intent on opening the blockages in him, the old woman settled her hands │
│ on his heart. │
│ │
│ A rush, a forceful current, blew through the Krausmeyer, knocking the old │
│ woman to the floor. As she lay on her back at the feet of the little man, │
│ she struggled to stare up at him out of the confusion and disorientation │
│ of a power surge the like of which she had never known. │
│ │
│ "What happened?" shrieked one of the young women. │
│ │
│ "We sent him too much of our power," another answered. │

│ Joyce planned on contacting a local psychic as soon as possible. She │
│ knew this was over her head and Christine had no business being │
│ involved with it either. At least not without someone else being │
│ involved that knows more about these areas than either of them. │
│ │
│ Chris argued most of the way home with her mother about going back to │
│ the house. │
│ │
│ "Mom, we were just getting someplace and then you want to run off," │
│ Chris told her. │
│ │
│ "We don't know enough about this Christine. And we aren't going to do │
│ anything further until we get someone involved that does." Joyce said │
│ in her firmest motherly tone of voice. │
│ │
│ "But Mom, we don't need to know anything more than what we already do. │
│ We just need to learn what the truth is and what it is the lady wants │
│ us to do," Chris insisted. │
│ │
│ "We can and we will. You are not to go back to that house without me │

│ and or without someone else from the psychic institute there. Do you │
│ understand me?" │
│ │
│ "Yes Mom, but..." Christine protested. │
│ │
│ "There are no exceptions," Joyce stopped walking and held tightly onto │
│ Christine's arm. She looked directly into Chris's eyes, making sure │
│ her point was driven home. "I mean it! There are no exceptions." │
│ │
│ They walked back in silence. Chris was angry, but said nothing. She │
│ knew better than to argue with her mother. Even though she was only │
│ twelve she had learned enough wisdom to hold her tongue. But she fully │
│ intended to go back, regardless of what her mother said. Besides, │
│ Chris reasoned, how would she know anyway. │
│ │
│ Joyce knew, she knew Chris would think about doing just such a thing. │
│ But she knew she could curb that thought with a simple ultimatum being │
│ given. She wasn't certain it would stop Chris but it would make her │
│ think twice before taking off and going back to that house. │

│ "If you try to go back without my knowing it," Joyce said quietly to │
│ Chris, "I'll find out. You know I always find out! And you'll be │
│ grounded for six months." Joyce didn't expand any further upon what she │
│ was saying, she knew she didn't have to. │
│ │
│ Once they got back home, the rest of the evening turned into a party │
│ more than anything else. The next morning Joyce called the local │
│ psychic institute and spoke to someone in charge there. She scheduled │
│ an appointment for that afternoon for her and Christine. │
│ │
│ Joyce and Christine entered the office of Dr. Martha Franks. Dr. │
│ Franks asked them to explain what they had experienced and what they │
│ felt was going on in the house. She was acquainted with the old house. │
│ Though she had never actually been in the old house. │
│ │
│ "Do you have any ownership rights to this place?" Dr. Franks asked │
│ Joyce. │
│ │
│ "No, but my daughter and her friends just wondered in there one day and │
│ had all these things begin happening to them. I don't think anyone │

│ ago. But the city hasn't done anything with it. The historical │
│ society wanted to have a declared a historical monument but never │
│ pursued it any further because of the hauntings. That's about all I │
│ really know. Oh, yeah, I also know the stories, but have no proof of │
│ any of it, that a newly wed couple moved into the place and within │
│ three or four days after their wedding the man killed the woman. The │
│ story goes that the man was a cop. I understand that he committed │
│ suicide after killing his new wife; but I don't know if any of that is │
│ really true." │
│ │
│ "I've seen her," Christine broke in, "I've seen the woman the guy │
│ killed. I know it is true. But I'm not sure he committed suicide or │
│ not." │
│ │
│ "Ok, now let me tell you the real story. The house was owned by the │
│ young woman who married the police officer." Dr. Franks told Joyce and │
│ Christine. "The police officer was suspected of killing his wife of │
│ three days but he was never convicted of the crime. He did not commit │
│ suicide, though the story went out that he had. The truth is, he is │

│ alive and he is still working for the police force." │
│ │
│ "I don't understand," Christine questioned Dr. Franks, "what do you │
│ mean he was suspected of killing his wife but was never convicted?" │
│ │
│ "They couldn't get enough evidence to prove he had done the crime. He │
│ denied having done it. He said someone had to have broken into the │
│ house and killed her." │
│ │
│ "But I saw him," Christine interrupted again. "I saw him in his police │
│ uniform and he killed her. I watched him do it. I screamed at him to │
│ stop but he didn't." │
│ │
│ "I think we should get a team together and go in there and investigate │
│ things. Find out what really happened and if the police officer did │
│ kill her, try to bring him to trial. Set things right, so to speak." │
│ │
│ "This is what we need to do," Joyce responded, "the one thing the woman │
│ asked us to do was get the truth out. She would be released if the │
│ truth came out." │

│ "Alright then, we will get a team together as soon as possible and go │
│ back into the house and see if we can get to the truth," Dr. Franks │
│ said with conviction. "I'll find out who owns it, get permission to be │
│ in there from the owner and then we'll do it. Until then, I suggest │
│ you stay clear of the house for the time being and I will call you as │
│ soon as I have the date scheduled." │
│ │
│ "That's agreeable to us," Joyce told her. │
│ │
│ The next two days went by slowly. Joyce was very concerned that │
│ Christine would become impatient and go back to the house. Christine, │
│ on the other hand, was becoming overly anxious about going back to the │
│ house. She was convinced she could solve all the problems of the │
│ woman. │
│ │
│ Finally Dr. Franks called. The team was set, the investigation would │
│ begin the next evening. │
│ │
│ That night both Joyce and Christine were so excited about it all that │

│ into the kitchen or to the bathroom several times that night. Finally │
│ they both just gave in and went to the kitchen to have some hot cocoa. │
│ │
│ "Maybe this will help us both sleep," Joyce said as she poured the hot │
│ chocolate into a cup and handed it to Chris. │
│ │
│ "Mom, what do you think will happen tomorrow night?" Chris sipped from │
│ her cup as she asked the question. │
│ │
│ "Hopefully everything will come out and the truth can be told. Then │
│ the lady in white can be at peace." │
│ │
│ "I hope so," Christine said, "she shouldn't be tied to that house │
│ simply because some jerk killed her." │
│ │
│ "I know," Joyce said soothingly to her, "we'll try to bring out the │
│ truth. That's the best we can do." │
│ │
│ They both finished their cocoa and went back to bed, hoping to sleep. │

│ They both finally did get sleep for a time and the morning came very │
│ quickly. They both just sort of dragged through the day, which seemed │
│ to go on forever. Evening came, Joyce and Christine went to the house │
│ to meet the investigative crew. │
│ │
│ Once they arrived Dr. Franks introduced Joyce and Chris to everyone in │
│ the group. The psychic, Ann Murphy, asked Chris were she first saw the │
│ woman. Chris led her upstairs to the bedroom were she had first seen │
│ the lady in white. The psychic went into the room, while the others of │
│ the investigation team followed behind her. One of the members of the │
│ team held a camrecorder and videotaped the entire event. Christine │
│ walked into the room and stood right beside the psychic. │
│ │
│ "Some one is here now," Ann told them, "it is a woman. She is weeping. │
│ She says we need to know the truth." │
│ │
│ Before Ann could finish, Christine's face changed right before the │
│ entire teams eyes. She was clearly being taken over by the woman in │
│ white once again. │

│ he had found it and lets it drop out of his hand. He calls someone, │

│ didn't. I was murdered and Charles Parson is the one who killed me. │
│ Make his confess. He must confess to set me free." │
│ │
│ With that, Christine collapsed to the floor. She was not conscious. │
│ Ann assured Joyce, who had rushed to her daughter, that this was a │
│ normal reaction for a medium after being a channel. │
│ │
│ The next plan of action was to take the videotape and make a copy of it. │
│ Once having done so, Dr. Franks, Christine and Joyce went to pay a │
│ visit to Mr. Charles Parson. They asked him to view the tape and then │
│ they would discuss what really happened. Parson's watched the tape │
│ carefully and began to cry as the story unfolded in front of him. │
│ Christine's voice clearly changed in the tape and Parson's identified │

│ later a shot rang out in another part of the house. Dr. Franks rushed │

│ killed my wife and fabricated the evidence to make it look as though │
│ she had committed suicide. Now I take my life for I can hide it no │
│ longer," the note was signed by Parson. Dr. Franks reached for the │
│ phone on the table near the bed and called the police. The three of │
│ them waited for the police to arrive, showed them the tape and told │
│ them what happened after Parson's had viewed it. Once the police had │
│ finished questioning them, they were free to go. │

│ Dr. Franks, Joyce and Christine went back to the old house. Christine │
│ was excited, she wanted to release Fran so badly from her ghostly jail. │
│ "He told the truth Fran, Charles told the truth," Christine announced │
│ as they entered the room. │
│ │
│ "I know, he is here with me," came back a whispering voice and all knew │

│ The next day Christine and her friends took a walk to the cemetery │

│ MYTH: We read from left to right because the brain and visual system of │
│ the human works best reading from left to right. │
│ TRUTH: Truth is reading from left to right makes no difference to the brain│
│ at all. The human brain is quite capable of understanding and read-│
│ material regardless of the pattern in which it places. Many lang- │
│ uages are not written from left to right, some not even right to │
│ left. It is merely a tradition. Though the Greeks once established│

│ MYTH: "Chopsticks" is so named after the Chinese eating utensil. │
│ TRUTH: Truth is Chopsticks was so named because of the chopping motion of │
│ the hands. The musical piece "Chopsticks" was created by a sixteen │
│ year old girl from Great Britain. The full title of the musical │
│ piece is "The Celebrated Chopsticks Waltz." The original instruct- │
│ ions with this piece of music was that one must play "with both │

│ The house was quiet now. Probably for the first time all day. The movers │
│ had stomped in and out since early morning carrying in boxes, furniture, │
│ tools and a piano. The lady of the house, Anne, not her real name, settles│
│ down on the sofa next to her husband. She sips from the cup, her third │
│ cup of coffee for the day. The two look at each other as they both stretch│
│ their legs out, tired from the moving day. They begin talking about how │
│ they want to decorate the room in which they now sit. But when Anne sugg- │
│ ests to Bill that they remodel the two bedrooms and bath on the third floor│
│ the noise begins. At the top of the stairs, on the second floor, comes a │
│ loud banging sound, like a box of glassware has fallen and crashed to the │
│ floor. They look at one another, thoroughly perplexed by what they have │
│ heard, since both knew no glassware was on the second floor. │
│ Bill gets up to check, making certain no one else is in the house. Satis- │
│ fied that no one is on the first floor he starts up the stairs to the sec- │
│ ond floor. He expects to find a mess from the box falling. But instead │

│ The two of them go back to drinking their coffee and discussing the changes│
│ they want to make in the house. The more they wish to change the more │
│ noises they hear from the third floor. Bill, each time, gets up to check, │
│ and each time finds nothing. │
│ This was the way it began for them. The house is an old three story │
│ Victorian home on the east coast in Boston. The exact location can not be │
│ told since the owners wish to remain anonymous. The report given by the │
│ couple began just as stated. But the real trouble began when they decided │
│ to open up the two bedrooms on the third floor, making them into one large │
│ room. They wanted a study/craft room so they might pursue their hobbies. │
│ The bath on the third floor was upgraded with more modern equipment and │
│ they also placed a day bed in the room for overnight guests. │
│ The second floor had four bedrooms, two of which, at this point, were being│
│ used only as storage rooms. One they had as a guest room and third was │
│ the master bedroom. They had plans for this one as well. They intended │
│ opening the master bedroom into the second bedroom, making it larger and │
│ redoing the bathroom so they could have a double vanity and jacuzzi in the │
│ master bath, as well as an area for a sitting room. The remaining two │
│ bedroom would end up being the rooms for the children they planned on hav- │

│ ing. But right after having the third floor remodeled they were visited by│
│ Bill's brother and his wife. Anne pulled the bottom section of the day │
│ bed out, making it into a double bed, and gave them that area for their │
│ visit. The first night of their visit was rather peaceful, except for the │
│ occasional bang and bomb of what sounded like someone pounding on the │
│ walls with a hammer. When Bill's brother got up the next morning he made │
│ the comment to Bill that he must have been up late working. But Bill told │
│ his brother he had not been. Bill asked Bob what it was he heard and then │
│ told Bob that he had not been up working, that he and Anne had gone to bed │
│ at the same time Bob and Joyce had. │
│ The second night was not as peaceful nor as calm. Bill and Anne were also │

│ to the third floor room and found Bob and his wife huddled together on the │
│ day bed. Bill and Anne quickly moved over to Bob and Joyce. The four of │
│ them now were on the day bed. The sounds being made were almost deafening.│
│ Then it happened. In the corner of the room, across from them they could │
│ see clearly a man. He was fully luminous. Bill noted he could see direct-│

│ way out of the third floor room to the kitchen they all sat discussing what│
│ they had seen. Bill and Anne resolved to bring a psychic in to find out │
│ how to get rid of this man. │
│ The psychic came in with a crew of investigators. Bill had contacted a │
│ university in New York and had to wait for nearly a month. During that │
│ time Bill and Anne stayed clear of the third floor. │
│ The report on the investigation state that the spirit was upset with the │
│ remodeling of the house. It was his house and insisted that it be left │
│ alone. The psychic discussed the situation with the spirit and reportedly │
│ they came to some form of resolution to solve the problem of the current │
│ owners ideas and the former owners ideas about the house. │
│ After this, according to Bill and Anne, the spirit has been seen periodi- │
│ cally in the third floor room, but has not been disruptive in any manner. │
│ The history of the house is that it was built sometime in the 1880s. The │
│ original owners lived there throughout their lifetime, passing it on to the│
│ children that remained behind. There have been several people to live │
│ in the house since then, as it was rented out on a frequent bases. The │
│ report of the investigation indicates that the spirit living there is that │
│ of the original builder and owner. │

│ Planned Parenthood Welcomes CDC's New AIDS Definition Page 80 │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ NY, 1-1/US Newswire: The Centers for Disease Control's expanded │
│ definition of AIDS, which goes into effect today, was hailed as "a │
│ lifeline" to thousands of HIV-positive individuals by Planned Parenthood │
│ Federation of America (PPFA). CDC's new definition adds pulmonary │
│ tuberculosis, recurrent bacterial pneumonia, and invasive cervical cancer │
│ -- diseases common among women -- to the list of AIDS-defining │
│ infections. It also allows an AIDS diagnoses based on a drop in the │
│ level of the body's master immune cells, or T-cells, to 200 cells per │
│ milliliter. It is estimated that as many as 190,000 Americans with HIV │
│ have T-cell counts below 200, but most remain undiagnosed as having AIDS. │
│ "We are optimistic that this new policy will improve the accuracy of HIV │
│ surveillance, relieve some of the effects of past under-reporting, and │
│ increase the likelihood that HIV positive women and men will qualify for │
│ the program entitlement and other benefits necessary for their health │
│ care," Johnson said. In a Nov. 12, 1992, letter to the CDC commenting on │
│ the proposed changes, Planned Parenthood warned that women are the │
│ fastest growing group of people with HIV and urged the CDC to broaden the │
│ AIDS definition further by adding other conditions common to women with │
│ HIV to the list of defining infections. │

│ WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Justice │

│ the United States $1.8 million to settle claims that Panasonic │
│ Communications & Systems Co., an unincorporated division of MECA, │
│ overcharged the government for the purchase of Panasonic typewriters and │
│ copiers by failing to disclose certain pricing data in negotiating the │
│ contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA). Assistant │
│ Attorney General Stuart M. Gerson, head of the Civil Division, said the │
│ government alleged that MECA, headquartered in Secaucus, N.J., falsely │
│ certified that it had provided the federal government with the same │
│ discounts offered to state governments when in fact it did not and that │
│ the company failed to offer the government the same price reductions it │
│ extended to commercial customers for the five contracts. Under the Truth │
│ in Negotiations Act, Panasonic was required, during the negotiations, to │
│ provide the government with its most current, accurate, and complete │
│ data. By depriving the government of this accurate and complete discount │
│ pricing data, Panasonic obtained an inflated price for its products. The │
│ settlement was reached after GSA's Office of Inspector General conducted │

│ WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In its first court action brought │
│ to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Department of │
│ Justice today filed a complaint against a CA-based company charging it │
│ discriminated against students with hearing impairments enrolled in its │
│ CPA review courses. The complaint, filed in U.S.District Court for the │
│ District of Columbia, alleges that Becker CPA Review, a private company │
│ that offers review courses for accountants preparing to take the national │
│ certified public accountant exam, discriminated against those with hearing│
│ impairments in violation of the ADA by refusing to provide sign language │
│ interpreters or other appropriate auxiliary aids necessary for persons │
│ with hearing impairments to participate fully and equally in the course's │
│ classroom instruction. The complaint, based on violation of the ADA which │
│ prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, public │
│ accommodations, and public services, cites a specific instance in which │
│ Becker CPA Review refused to provide the necessary type of auxiliary aids │
│ to a person with a hearing impairment. The suit alleges that Becker CPA │
│ Review violated 2 separate provisions of the law. The ADA requires courses│
│ for certification be offered in a manner accessible to persons with dis- │
│ abilities & that private entities provide "auxiliary aids" when necessary │
│ to ensure effective communication. │

│ 10th anniversary of Virginia's Child Safety Seat Law on Monday, Jan. 4, │
│ 1993, at 11 a.m. in the CHKD Auditorium in Norfolk, Va. │
│ │
│ Guest speakers included Del. Thomas W. Moss, speaker of the House; Dr. │
│ John M. de Triquet of CHKD and Vince Burgess, DMV. Exhibits included │
│ various child safety seat demonstrations and safety seats that have been │
│ in crashes. The law, amended July 1, 1992, requires all children under │

│ According to observational studies, Virginia's child safety seat/safety │
│ belt use rate is 72 percent. It has been proven that if used correctly, │
│ child safety seats are 71 percent effective in preventing fatalities, 67 │
│ percent effective in reducing the need for hospitalization and 50 percent │
│ effective in preventing minor injury. │

│ WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Defenders of Wildlife and others │
│ including Green China, the International Three Gorges Coalition, Friends │
│ of the Earth and the Center for International Environmental Law today │
│ notified the commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation (bureau), U.S. │
│ Department of Interior, of the group's intention to sue the bureau │
│ because of its assistance to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in │
│ constructing the controversial Three Gorges Dam project. The groups │
│ charge that the bureau's and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' assistance is │
│ illegal because the two services have not consulted with the U.S. Fish │
│ and Wildlife Service (FWS). The Endangered Species Act requires all │
│ federal agencies to consult with FWS on any agency action that may affect │
│ an endangered or threatened species. The PRC has considered damming the │
│ Three Gorges region of the Yangtze River for over 40 years. Now, with │
│ the United States assistance, the PRC is moving toward its goal of │
│ building the world's largest dam that will cause major human hardship and │
│ ecological destruction to a site that has been compared to the U.S. Grand │
│ Canyon. The dam would disrupt feeding areas of the endangered Siberian │
│ crane, harm resting areas and food supplies of both the endangered │
│ Yangtze river dolphin and the endangered Chinese alligator, and could │
│ affect feeding areas of the endangered giant panda. │

│ WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 /U.S. Newswire: │
│ │
│ The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed the release of the first │
│ FBI statistics on hate crimes in the United States. The data was │
│ compiled by the FBI pursuant to the Hate Crime Satistics Act (HCSA), │
│ passed by Congress in 1990. "The data released today is an important │
│ step forward in improving the national response to the problem of hate │
│ violence," said Melvin Salberg, ADL's national chairman, and Abraham H. │
│ Foxman, ADL's national director. "While we can be quite certain that │
│ more than 4,558 hate crime incidents occurred in 1991, these first │
│ statistics -- and the fact that more than 2,700 law enforcement agencies │
│ across the country participated in the collection effort -- reflect well │
│ on the FBI's initial outreach and education efforts." Since the passage │
│ of the HCSA, ADL has served as a principal resource for the FBI and other │
│ law enforcement agencies in implementing the act. ADL and other groups │
│ with expertise in analyzing and responding to hate crimes have │
│ participated in a number of training seminars for state and local law │
│ enforcement authorities on how to identify, report, and respond to hate │
│ crimes. │
