Some wagging tongues will tell you those are the only times most people get their names in the newspaper. newspa-per. In the first and last instances, in-stances, the tongues continue, con-tinue, you just won't care. And when you get married, mar-ried, you have other things on your mind. So what's the difference? differ-ence? The difference is huge. Like a stopped clock, even wagging tongues are right a couple of times every day. Whether joyful or tragic, important junctures of everyday living make the papers. You probably did get your name published pub-lished when you were born and when you got married. You probably will again when you pass away. But today's newspapers do so much more than that. Newspapers cover your life - all your life, not just the beginning and the end. Along the way, newspapers news-papers will tell you things you need to know and occasionally oc-casionally tickle your fun-nybone fun-nybone or even make you mad. Hey, remember when your kid was the star of the big game? Remember the way the football kind of floated through the air until he reached up and pulled it in? Remember the way he took off for the end zone? How many papers did you buy that weekend? That's right. Some of them are still around and Grandpa Grand-pa still has the clipping on the wall above his desk, doesn't he? Well, maybe it wasn't the big game. It might have been the recital or the school play or Vacation Bible School graduation or a feature picture or a million, mil-lion, zillion other things that sneak "beneath the radar" ra-dar" in this go-go-go world of ours. Not all of them are in the paper but some are. Newspapers do cover the hard news but they also publish bis of features and pictures and little articles someone brought in.

In no way will these bonds cause an increase in property taxes, indicated indicat-ed the mayor and council memebers. The mayor and council are calling for a special meeting of interested citizens citi-zens to be held in the city council chambers on Tuesday Tues-day evening, October 26 to discuss the needs of these utilities. Following the long studies stud-ies and professional help about your life in our pages Most of the time, the stories will be written and the pictures taken by one of your neighbors who goes through the same things you do every day, who knows about the long lines at the grocery store and the prices at the gas station and who wonders why something isn't done about the same things you wonder about. If it's a local problem, something like that big pothole down the street, the reporter probably will ask somebody at City Hall and the newspaper again will be covering part of your life. With any luck, you and your newspaper will get that hole filled in. Even if you don't see your own name in the papers pa-pers too often (and lots of people like it that way), newspapers are still covering cover-ing your life because they are covering your times. That's where the hard news comes in. Hard news usually falls into two categories. There's institutional news such as what happens in Congress or at the courthouse, court-house, and breaking news, like when the airplane crashes or war breaks out. When big hard news happens, hap-pens, everybody's going to be telling you about it and it will be in your newspaper newspa-per as well. Newspapers may not be able to get it out first these days but they still can do it best, they still can fill in the details, they still can answer your questions and some of their people still write in a way that captures cap-tures a moment or stirs your soul. Just because it came out first somewhere else doesn't mean that newspaper story doesn't contain information you need and want to know. More often than not, it does, and sometimes it's the only place you can get the story straight. But you know what? Even though newspapers can do a great job on the big stories, they really excel ex-cel with "little" stories, everyday ev-eryday things in your town that are probably going to affect your life more than & Com Maze or to schedule a group 369-5273 IS". over the past two years the council would like to share what they have learned from these studies and professional advice with the city's rate payers and how they believe the utilities utili-ties can maintain service and pay off these bonds. It was also explained in the meeting that the council coun-cil wants to get the utilities updated before they decide to build new buildings for administration and library services and police buildings. build-ings. The council also plans to send out a special mailing to inform citizens of why anything halfway across the world or who's in the White House. Go to a local meeting, say your town zoning board or your city council coun-cil or maybe some kind of hearing in one of your courts. Is there a reporter there? Where is he or she from? That's right. Nine times out of ten, maybe more often, it's your local newspaper. Yes, TV gives you local lo-cal news but their people usually have to work on a broad canvas. They're covering lots of communities communi-ties in half-an-hour while there's probably one or more newspapers working hard just to cover yours.

To mark the event, Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) will appear Thursday at 6 p.m. in the courtyard, followed by a special presentation and ending with a candlelight vigil. The Clothesline Project began in 1990 in Cape Cod, MA as a way for women to express their emotions against any form of abuse they have experienced. The display features shirts decorated by survivors of abuse and friends of victims of abuse who wish to share their experience expe-rience with the public. The colors of the shirts each represent rep-resent a different form of abuse, such as battery, rape, incest and violent attacks. The display not only promotes awareness of the widespread problem of abuse, but also enables survivors of abuse to move on with their lives and gives support to those silently struggling with abuse. "The Clothesline Project is not a comforting, uplifting experience," said Peggy Pasin, coordinator for the Women's Wom-en's Resource Center. "Instead, it is moving and eye-opening. eye-opening. Informing the community about the problem is the first step toward ending the violence." UVSC's display consists solely of shirts decorated by male and female UVSC students and faculty. Materials Mate-rials and shirts will be available at Centre Stage in the Sorensen Center for those who would like to decorate a shirt for a friend or for themselves. Along with the display in the courtyard UVSC, has a permanent Clothesline Project on the Equity in Education Educa-tion Training and Resource Center's Web site, which can be viewed year-round at www.uvsc.educontedequity clothesline.html.

You're going to read about it in your local newspaper. Some newspaper somewhere some-where probably did carry a few words when you were born. There may have been two or three pictures and stories about your engagement and wedding. Newspapers did those things then and they do them now. But. newspapers don't stop there. This is National Newspaper Week and the theme for the week tells the whole story: "Newspapers "News-papers - We Cover Your life." It's a good slogan because be-cause it's true.
