Show Th Summit County Bm 2A Friday, March 15, 1996 EdlsTmkl Pae Pam's Place Well, it looks as though someone tried to show his lack of intelligent brain cells once again, or at least that is how it appears to me. Who, but someone lacking common sense, could walk into a school and begin to take the lives of innocent children and their lead- en? Dunblane, Scotland. A place which many of us have never even heard of until recent reports brought it to our attention, and what a horrible way to have to learn of its existence, At present, sixteen little ones and one adult were killed in the "slaughter" that took place. Watching the pandemonium which hit when news of the crime began to surface, those of us not directly involved had to have some "heartburn" strike within us, if we have any feelings at all. Whin horror the news must have been for the parents of all the children who attend the school, and what a relief it must have been for those who were able to take their children home with them. I, personally, cannot even imagine how the people of the town Summit County Calendar of Events March 15 & 16 (Fri. & Sat.)

Open to public and will bring representatives from federal and state agencies whose responsibilities include wildlife and wildlife related habitat management Tell Me About 15 Is This Bunkum, or What? by Leon Simister, Columnist (Lust part of a two-pa-rt article) Ova 175 years ago, Felix Walker, a congressman from Buncome County, North Carolina, during a speech to his constituents there, was accused of talking "gobbledegook.", because most of what he said made no sense. His political opponents immediately began referring to any such political drivel as "speaking to Buncome",- - often respelled as "bunkum". Through adroit and skillful manipulation - of a kind that only politicians administer with unparalleled skill - the word soon graduated to "hokum", a combination of hocus and bunkum, and was quickly abbreviated to just plain "bunk". As expected, the supply has become enormously plentiful as put to use by politicians during their daily routines. Even so, some political talk thought to be drivel should have been heeded. In fact history tells us that the Civil War could have been prevented if the bill to bar slavery from all future states admitted to the Union, and introduced by Thomas Jefferson while serving in congress, had not been defeated - by' a single vote! "A democracy... that is a government of all the people, by all the people; for all the people..." was written by Thomas Parker and given on July 4, 1858. You recognize this as part of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address delivered on Nov. 19, 1863. Records from days gone by seem to more accurately "tell it like it is" - or was. My what a difference in today's world when terms that were remarkably simple and definitive now almost require the services of an interpreter to clarify. Even the Bible has been in order to become totally The 1987 Revised New Testament of the new American Bible (Matt. 4:4) changer from "Not on bread alone is man to live" to "One does not live on bread alone." And in Matt. 16:23, "You are not judged by God's standards, but by man's," becomes instead, "You are thinking not is God does, but as human beings do." Hmmm...i few more "politically correct" changes, and well have enough alterations that anyone's interpretation of anything will qualify for complete compliance to everything. Steve Allen blames a lot of our change in vocabulary to the "...mindless programs... on TV", when he states, "People are beginning to know more and more about less and less until, finally, they will know practically nothing about almost everything. " We seem to outsmart ourselves. To continue with a few more P.Cs, "chemically inconvenienced" for drunk, "alternative dentation" for false teeth, "alternative lifestyle" for gay, and "differently hirsute" for bald. There were some real cuties spawned from the Vietnam War. "Pacification" replaced eradication, "strategic withdrawal" for retreat, "temporary cessation of hostilities for truce. "Sanitizing operation" stood for wholesale clearance, bombing the wrong target was explained with "accidental delivery of armaments", and political assassinations were handled by, "to terminate with extreme prejudice. " While hostages were defined, by President George Bush as "inconvenienced people who want to get out", the Iraqi Foreign Office called them "Foreign guests", and our own State Department referred to them as "restrictees" or "detainees. " The anguish of teachers of the language seems to be summarized in a statement by Novelist-criti- c Francine Du Plessix Gray (Gty of New who don't want to change the world "...We said, York) College anymore. We just want to teach one child to read properly, so that he can have something to hang onto, so that his center will hold." My hope would be that future generations will still be able to recognize history as being recorded accurately without the damaging changes inflicted by political correctness. "If you enhance the truth, then it ain't the truth no mote", words spoken by an ordinary citizen in protest of the very problems political correctness creates. Thought For The Day: "Beware of thinking that because you are bight and you therefore reason well. " Steve Allen (from his book "Dumbth") .

When it came time fa those "brave" souls participating to don their fire safety gear and actually go trailer, howeva, into the flash-ov- a it was time for me to emphatically decline their offer of "learning first hand what occurs inside." Realizing that there were plenty of personnel on hand to assist should "someone" need to receive "revival" techniques, I still declined, even though I was asked several times if I would like to participate. I have taken advantage of several learning experiences since I have been employed by The Bee, but the idea of this one, somehow just didn't "trip my trigger" so to speak. I did come away from die scene with a greata respect for those in the firefighting profession. .The trainers that day showed their enthusiasm for teaching the volunteers who came to lean and those present exhibited a desire to listen and participate in the program. It is always nice to know that we can depend on die volunteers in to be of service to us when they are the-are- needed.

Well, I certainly had an interest- I ing experience this week, leaned anotha meaning of the term "hot flash. Participating in a class-room setting fora time, and listenexplaining ing to those how "flash firft" occur and the damage they can do as very interesting. Watching film on what happened to three firemen, who eventually lost their lives to this problem, was indeed an experi- must have felt as the reality of their loss began to sink in, as it appears, that everyone in the small area knew at Inst several of the victims. As I look around me at the children I know who are this tender age in their life, I cant help but be sickened about what happened. Most children who have reached this point of time in their lives are happy little ones, with cherub looking faces, who wake each morning with excitement and wonder, knowing that in their world, the day will bring many new discoveries for them to learn about. Their ability to find joy in the small everyday things, which many of us take for granted, can be a real teaching tool for adults, as we listen to the wisdom their thoughts express to us. These can include taking a walk, and while older folks sometimes think about the prob-- . lems they may be feeing, little ones notice bugs happily crawling along the sidewalk, a bird chirping in the tree tops, fluffy clouds in the sky. Children of this age, are usually inquisitive about evoything, questioning "why" often? "Why" is the sky blue, "why" are things' done a certain way, "why" does a meal take so long to cook? Their natural zest for life can be a real teaching tool form if we but let it Attention: RenewaIs to Hie SummIt Countv Bee Al renewal: to The Summit County Bee ihould reach (he Corivie or Kamai Office by Itic third Friday at the month to keep your Bre from being canceled by die computer. we need your renewal by this dnw In order to get your name on die renewal 1st and keep you from being canceled.
