STILL WATERS

Heating costs begin toll
on local economy

By Mike Fak

[DEC. 27, 2000]  If John Steinbeck were still alive, I am certain he would not mind my using the title of one of his classics to categorize the series of articles I have embarked upon. The book I am talking about is "The Winter Of Our Discontent." If that isn't a perfect title for the fuel oil crisis that all of America is facing, I don't know what would be.

'How To Talk To Your Child

This statement from the book "How To Talk To Your Child About Sex" is the foundation for the message conveyed to the reader. Authors Linda and Richard Eyre have written a frank and open manual designed to help parents discuss with their children the important topic of sex.
