Thai nastortofa bum mcr, but 1 lotJ Keith not to try lo go lo minimum tecurity until he went to the Board. Now he nould have to nail al least neekt before be could request a move change again. The day I moved, I had four bom packed sith bocks. t ping paper, t pc writer, clothes, hygcinc mate rials, mattress, the toholc works. I even had a chair which is considered contraband that 1 took with me. to WHEN I was approved, Lt. Devins said I was re- quired to maintain the rules and regulations and that any infraction would have me removed back to the block 1 just came from. Lt. Devins," I said, don't worry about a thing. I'll be like an angel over there." He sort of smiled and replied. See to it that the angel doesn't get into any more fiths while he is her either." I DIDN'T change my facial appearance, but in the back of my mind I knew there was snilch in the crowd aomewhere. I haven't the foggiest idea what you are talking about. I don't get in trouble, you know that. Don't try to snow me. I know all about what hap pened in the gym and 1 dont mind saying Sumpter didn't deserve what he got, but be careful in the future. You appear to be an intelligent person, and around here you'll have to use your brains more than you fists if you want to get ahead. Just remember that." He paused for a minute, then added, I like you Bill, but I can't be responsible for anything that happens to you. The only alternative is Protection, if you want me to. PROTECTION! For w hat? If you think Im going to spill my guts as to what happened and who was in volved, you are crazy! I'll get along in here just fine. Besides, 1 have plans for my future, and if I go to Protection, I'll never be able to accomplish what I want to do. Okay, have it your own way. Keep in mind what I said. Don't buck the inmates, and dont buck the system. Its a losing battle and you'll end up getting hurt in' the end or dead. I GOT up from my chair, walked over to the office door and without ever turning to face him I said, Devins, you watch your back and dont worry about mine. I knew the advice he gave me was solid and sound. Why 1 tried to play hard with him I dont know unless it is that one part about being an inmate and the image a man has to live up to, I dont know. But I didnt have any trouble for quite a long time. LATER THAT same day I was paged to go to the dental lab. This part I hated, for it meant I was to get my teeth pulled. I remembered about a week prior to this appointment, I went there for an examination and the dentist looked into my mouth and asked, Have you taken drugs in your life? I was taken aback by that saying, Wait a minute, check my medical records, youll find out I have never used any drug except alcohol, and most drugs that can be had only by prescription I cant take! Relax, if you havent been using drugs, you must be seventy years old and well preserved for your teeth look that old. WELL, ITS a combination of a lot of things Doc. One is Ive had bad teeth for as long as I can remember, and the other is I never took care of them the way I should. I want you back here in one week. Those teeth have got to come out. HERE I was again, back in the dental chair getting ready to have them all come out. Top and bottom alike. Say Doc. How long will it be before I get my de- ntures? HARD TO say. If everything goes right, after we wait for the swelling to go down, lets say 30 days, we can go ahead with impressions and after three or four of those, we can have you fitted and pretty well intact. Right now we are looking somewhere around May. I waited this long, I guess a few more months wont kill me. ABOUT THREE that afternoon, an hour after he started, my mouth was empty. He told me not to smoke for 24 hours, to stay with soft foods for the next three meals, and come back to let him check my gums. An hour later, I smoked about six cigarettes, ate pork chops for dinner that night, and never had any prob- lems. I WASNT on the block two weeks before a new order came from the adminstration office saying that all in- - w AliUkuf lowihf Hy tom turn! in turn LE B BUE ita ftHfvtwn mUEIDom Ttuiwfunud Ml Hf tMutei tofea lur J there i the E i retfrful, Ue lord ta qurt Him t rU! irounj la Bin. thrift and begin ta vqiicrf.

Be- I HADNT mentioned this before, but there is a womens facility at this prison, segregated of course. Six women come over to the main building to go to either ABE (Adult Basic Education) or high school. There is also a college program where two other women attend classes. Everytime they come over, the inmates rant and if there is such a thing. Still, I rave, shistle, and cat-ca- ll had the pleasure of meeting and knowing some of these ladies, and what knowledge I gained from them, made my days easier to live through. fore you get ready for the long run, you should have an ample reserve of water in your sys- tem, so have an adequate amount to drink the day fore. be- DONT DRINK anything with sugar in it for several hours before the race. The sugar triggers an insulin reaction, which may result in a temporary lowering of your blood sugar level. Premature exhaustion is likely to result. Two hours before the race, dont drink anything or you will be dashing for the woods to answer nature's call. It takes 60 to 90 minutes for the body to process excess liquid through the kidneys. HOWEVER, YOU can drink quite a lot (10 ounces or more) five minutes before the start. The kidneys shut down after you start exercising to pree serve fluid. A water station is a good service to runners. Y our body loses liquid much more rapidly that it can be absorbed into the system from the stomach, so you need to drink a lot to minimize the loss. Start drinking at the first water Dn Water-Relate- d Dirty easily understood. Here are a few ups on cold water involvement, not so well understood. The last thing a person suddenly immersed in cold water should do is remove layers of protective insulation. In almost every case, the mure clothing a person wears, the warmer he stays and the better he floats as king as he doesn't struggle. AIR 1 RAPPED in layered clothing or the toes of bools can support and insulate a person in the water if he holds still. Struggling, swimming or treading water forces Ihe air out and increases the body heat loss and the chances of swallowing cold water.

All the guys wanted to make a play on her and the funny thing was, she wanted nothing to do with them. In the school foyer, classes broke every hour for ten minutes where students would take their break, but Mary would stay in the classroom and daydream about being with her children. She missed them desperately, it was written all over her face. She never made excuses for why she did what she did, another point in her favor. I knew when Mary went to the Board she would get a date and be on her way before long. I had confidence in her because she had confidence in herself. iU Lt aJ s I ADOPTED two of the girls as my little sisters. One is Mary. She was at the prison for forgery and believe me to look at her you wouldn't know it. Eighteen, five foot, and some ways looked twelve. Then there was Seanna. Tall as me with short blonde hair. She was in for theft, but stayed only 90 days and was placed on probation.

Don't wait until you 'get dry. Drink more than you think you need. YOUR SYSTEM can absorb a full cup of liquid every IS to 20 minutes. Walk, if necessary to make certain you get all the fluid down. If you are like me, you can't drink on the run. The best drink is water. You don't need to replace the electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) during the run, since they are more concentrated during exercise. MORE WATER than electrolytes are removed during the run. Thus, as far as the cells are concerned, the body has an excess of electolytes. During prolonged periods of heavy sweating, the need to replace body water is greater than any immediate demands for electrolytes. If you .want to drink ERG, Gatorade or whatever, be sure it is diluted so that it is almost water. Remember that sugar has to be diluted in the sto mach in order to be absorbed. If it is too concentrated, the stomach gets water from the tissues, and you cant afford that on a hot day. Cold days are another story. FRUIT JUICES and colas are no, no's. Stay away from carbonated drinks during the run. Drink as soon as possible but not quite as much as your stomach can tolerate. The drink should be as cold as possible, since that will help the bodys cooling process. WHATEVER your choice of liquid, including water, you need to keep drinking to replace the large quantity of fluid your body will have lost. It is best to drink a little at a time over quite an extended period of time. Keep drinking until you have fairly clear urine. Your electrolytes will be replaced naturally through your diet of fresh fruits, cereals, vegetables, and milk products. Good luck! others it an effective defence against hpothermu. SHIMMING, treading wa ter. dow n proofing tor uri iv al swimming), which involve bobbing in the water, and or removing clothing are not only questionable practices in mosi cold water situations, but maybe lethal for poor or non swimmers. Incidentally, approximately 40 percent of heat is lost from the face, head, and neck, and a significant amount is also lost from the sides and the groin. Now you know why on Ihe recommendations. m I RECENTLY learned at our annual American College of Sports Medicine meetings that there are some dangers for pregnant women in extreme heat. There is danger of damaging the fetus if the mother runs too long in the heat, as is often done in some races. Maintain good water intake whenever running in the heat and stay out of hot tubs and saunas. All raise the body temperature to the danger point during pregnancy. WHILE WE are talking ab- out hot weather running, a couple of additional tips are in order. Avoid an excess of highly salted food (good advice anytime) and three or four days before long runs or races have a large intake of water. Finally, avoid high fiber foods a coupld of days prior to a race to revent runners diarrhea, caused largely by the fiber residue in the body. That means cutting back, temporarily, on vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products. ALL OF the good things like ding dongs, cakes, pies, ice cream, and sweet drinks are fair game to replace you glycogen. pre-rac- Who Knows? How long is the Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco? 2.

Lake City News -- Union Pacific Railroad has more than a billion dollar impact on the 13 states it serves, including more than $90 million paid in Utah for wages, taxes and local purchases. UTAH, ONE of the more important states for Union Pacific, has 3,046 employees. The railroad, depending on season- al demands and economic v.v.v. Vi Pacific Railroad Spends More Than $90 Million In Utah Union trends, employs nearly 30,000 people over its entire system. Utah ranks fourth in terms of number of employees among the 13 western states served by UP, topped only by Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho. Union Pacific people in Utah were paid $70,987,2 during 1979. That wage impact becomes even greater as those dollars begin circulating in the local communities. Those figures do not include any taxes paid individually by Union Pacific employees. AS FOR the railroad company itself, it paid Utah $3,964,267 in taxes during 1979. Union Pacific pays local taxes in 15 of Utah's 29 counties. Those figures include corporate income taxes, sales and use taxes, ad valorem taxes, property taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Salt Lake County, where Union Pacific has locomotive shops, a freight yard and dis trict offices, received $497,212 in taxes last vear. OTHER EXAMPLES of Union Pacifics tax bill in Utah counties include: Davis, $142,539; Weber, $82,130; Utah, $98,359; Millard. $192,744; Iron, $147,670. Summit, $180,281; Beaver. $81,267; and Cache, $71,991, By doing business locally for the goods and services necessary to make a railroad function. Union Pacific spent $15,218,876 in Utah last year. |
