Elton John, a king of another line, is fairly conventional now; but at hia height, his gimmick was sunglasses. We all knew that yes, but he had an average of 300 pair, none of them your basic averags frame variety. Ha had one pair with miniature winshield wipers. He paid anywhere from $50.00 to $500.00 for his shades, and you almost never saw him without a pair to hide behind. Along with a hat to hide the shine.. Now he has hair, and ordinary glasses.

My problem was that I sometimes got so involved in the show that I tended to forget I had a date, (there were a few that should have been forgotten), or My lady Barbara broke me of that habit, shortly after we started dating, but thats another story, (its also one of the reasons why riie will always be. my lady and light of my life).

Ifyoure a watcher of the night Deadlines: y v' ' half-truth- ticular occurrence may be examined and reexamined over the back fence while we wait to hear it from an official source. But an unusual transformation often takes place in that neighborly, informal discussion of details. Everyone loves to be the first to pass on an interesting tidbit that was previously unmentioned. Youve already figured us out. What originates as harmless passage of information can, quite unintentionally, become gossip. But the problem only begins there. When a public official or local institution is involved in an incident, and the details are unclear because few are u privy to those details, then the Phone ,f 9 facturing process takes over, and the story most citizens hear may be a far cry, and perhaps a much more colorful scene, than the factual circumstances. Because that individual or institution is in the public eye, s. But the many justify rumors or injustice thus perpetrated is still unjust, and the damage is already done. That brings us to the bottom line: When is an item news, and when is it just gossip? When does someones personal business become a public concern? News is both sides of an issue that the public needs to know, because it affects them directly. News isnt one persons or one groups opinions of the facts. If all the facts arent known, the story shouldnt be told. It isnt a matter of censarship, its a matter of common sense, compassion and fairness. Sometimes its better to leave well enough alone to prevent possible unjustified harm to an individual or entity. An author once wrote, Barnyard creatures have such a taste for blood. News or not news, lets rise above the barnyard mentality. And remember, to every issue, there is another side. fast-pace- d, 6469-000- . Gossip? No doubt we are all aware that life in a ruralsmall town setting such as ours is convastly different from the crete- lined lifestyle of the city. That very difference is why many residents are here. A wrinkle appears on the smooth fabric of our existence when unhappy incidents occur.
