Wisniewski Named ChairmanOf Transportation CommitteeSTATE — Assemblyman

John S. Wisniewski has beenappointed Chairman of theAssembly TransportationCommittee for the 2002-03legislative session.

Assembly Speaker AlbioSires praised Wisniewski asthe perfect choice for the cov-eted committee chairmanship,citing his two stints of mem-bership on the TransportationCommittee during the 1996-97 and 2000-01 legislativesessions.

"John Wisniewski has beena leading voice on trans-portation policy for AssemblyDemocrats during his sixyears in the state Legislature,"said Sires (D-West NewYork). "As our new chairman,Assemblyman Wisniewski isgoing to be counted upon toimprove the state's transporta-tion system while safeguard-ing the interest of drivers onmatters such as the E-ZPasstoll collection system and the

Parsons auto inspections con-tract.

Wisniewski, 39, has servedon the Assembly Transporta-tion Committee, the AssemblyEducation Committee, the As-sembly Policy and RegulatoryOversight Committee, and theAssembly Hazardous andSolid Waste Committee sincefirst being elected to theLegislature in 1996.

"New Jersey is the mostcongested state in the countryand this presents enormouschallenges in terms of con-structing transportation poli-cy," said Wisniewski (D-Sayreville).

"In addition to the high-ways that need to be repavedand the bridges that need to berebuilt, we need to renew ourcommitment to mass trans-portation in our state

"New Jerseyans rely heavi-ly upon the state's transporta-tion network for their daily jobcommutes. To effectively ease

their lives, the Legislaturemust do everything in itspower to ensure that our trans-portation system is well-main-tained, professionally man-aged, and constantly improvedupon," said Wisniewski

During the legislative pro-cess, committees and theirchairpersons review and re-configure bills and take testi-mony from people and organi-zations that may be affectedby the legislation. Bills thatmake their way through diecommittee process can then beposted for floor votes by thefull Assembly

The Assembly Transpo •tation Committee is responsi-ble for monitoring all seg-ments o f state transportation,including bridge and highwayconstruction, motor vehicleinspections, expansion oflight-rail train systems, andmanagement of the toll roadauthorities

Wisniewski has sponsored

legislation to criminalize iden-tity theft, strength the state'sschool bus inspection system,provide income and propertytax exemptions for veterans,establish penalties for personsconvicted of committingcrimes while using firearms,and deregulate the gas andelectric industries.

Besides serving as chair-man of the Assembly Trans-portation Committee-, W\a-niewski also w\\ be a memberof the Assembly Telecom'munications and UtilitiesCommittee in the 2002-03 leg-islative session

That committee appointmentcoincides with the reputationWisniewski earned in recentyea's as the Assembly Demo-crats' leading voice on energyderegulation and telecommuni-cations policy matters.

Wisniewski is a partner inRonan, Tuzzio and Gianonne— a law firm with offices inTinton Falls and SayTeville.

Roosevelt Meets State's HighestCare Standards

MIDDLESEX COUNTY— Roosevelt Care Center hasachieved the State of NewJersey's "advisory standards"in terms of the care provided toRCC residents and in the waythe facility is run.

"Simply put, this means thatthe work of the stall at RCC isfar exceeding the Slaterequirements, and that we haveachieved a '.vcl of excellencethat places Roosevelt amongthe best long-term care facili-ties in New Jersey," saidRoosevelt Administrator andCOO Frank Damiani.

"This is the first time thatRCC has achieved this level ofexcellence," he said, notingthat less than ten percent of thelong-term care facilities inNew Jersey have achieved theadvisory standards.

Under state licensing regu-

lations, the standards for nurs-ing home care include bothmandatory requirements,which all facilities must meetand advisory standards, whichare optional and voluntary.

If a facility chooses to par-ticipate in the advisory stan-dards program, surveyors fromthe state Department of Healthand Senior Services evaluatethe nursing home's compliancewith 145 recommendations in21 areas of nursing home careand services during the courseof their annual inspection visit.

"It's the state's way of rec-ognizing nursing homes thatstrive to go beyond therequirements in terms of thecare they provide their resi-dents," said Leonard Roseman,the Chairman of the MiddlesexCounty ImprovementAuthority (MCIA), which

oversees the operation ofRCC.

He noted that facilitiesdeemed to have serious defi-ciencies in terms of their abili-ty to meet mandatory require-ments are not permitted to par-ticipate in the advisory stan-dards program.

"Naturally, everyone atRoosevelt is thrilled that oure(Torts have been recognized,but what makes us all evenhappier have been the statesurveyors' repeated commentsabout the positive attitude theynow saw throughout the build-ing," Damiani said.

"The surveyors sensed anoverall attitude of teamwork,optimism, cooperation andcaring, and said that eachdepartment had made a majorcontribution to this achieve-ment," he said.

Damiani said the surveyorscomplimented RCC on severalfacets of the facility operationincluding: The new recreationactivities that have been imple-

and the clean and well-main-tained building and grounds.

"The job that the RCC staffis doing is better than great, itis exemplary" he said. "I

mented, even for residentswho cannot leave their rooms,including the elegant dining,pet therapy and Snoozalen pro-grams; the level of clinical andpsychological care that RCCresidents receive; the facility'simproved record-keeping andother administrative changes;

would also like to thank theresidents and the family mem-bers who were interviewed bythe surveyors for their support.The state gives great consider-ation to their views, and theirpositive comments played alarge role in the outcome ofthis year's survey."

County Resident Erika Sosa Takes Teaching TripEDISON—Rider University

senior Erika Sosa of Edisonspent her winter break in theCaribbean teaching and gaininginsight from youngsters.

From Jan. 4 through Jan. 18,Sosa, a psychology major andsix other Rider students trav-eled in Jamaica, West Indies,working with children hailingfrom the island's most impov-erished areas. A Rider traditionsince 1990, the University'sinternational program engage?students in learning experi-ences foreign from what theyare accustomed. Using theskills and knowledge base theyhave acquired in their academ-ic majors, they are oriented to a

new culture, way of life, andnew perspectives.

The curriculum, designed byprogram co-ordinators, theRev. Nancy Schluter, Rider'sProtestant Chaplain, and DonBrown, director of Rider'sCenter for Multicultural Affairsand Community Service, placesspecial emphasis on servicelearning. Students are requiredto sign a written "learningcovenant1' with their assignedRider professors, many ofwhom serve as their advisers.

Not only are studentsrequired to complete readingassignments to better under-stand Jamaican culture andservice learning theory, they

must prepare for their experi-ence introspectively by attend-ing seminars prior to embark-ing on their trip as well as dur-ing the course of the semester.Keeping a personal journal,they must document and evalu-ate their experiences in a finalproject, usually a paper.

As in past years, the studentsvisited St. Mary's Parish andlater Ocho Rios. rn St. Mary'sParish, they worked in theclassrooms with residents ofPringle Home for Children. InOcho Rios, they worked withresidents of the lona School, aprivate children's institutionrun by the United Church ofJamaica.

Guests of noted Jamaicanauthor, Lewin Williams, thestudents also visited suchplaces as the Bob MarlcyMuseum in Kingston andDunns River Fall in Ocho Rios.For the first time this year, theyattended a barbecue hosted byhusband and wife duo andRider alumni Warren Scott '96,a business major; and KeyaChongasing Scott '95, a com-munication major.

Although Rider juniorNancy Capasso of Edison, aFrench major, made the trip lastJanuary, she still has vividmemories of the experience. Inlieu of writing a paper, she wasgranted permission to take pic-

tures featuring the children ofPringle Home in order to createa 2002 calendar. Capasso creat-ed the concept and design withassistance from Rider'sCollegiate Press. The calendar,which will be shown toislanders during this year's trip,is dedicated to The BrianPutman Foundation.

The Tamily of the late BrianPutman '99 established thefoundation during the summerof 2000. Putman, who traveledto Jamaica as a Rider student inJanuary ,'v99, was killed in anauto avxident in May of 2000.All foundation proceeds benefitthe children who reside at thePringle Home.

A Recipe For Savings In The KitchenSTATE—While you're pre-

paring your next gourmet dishat home, remember that youcan cook up real savings onyour energy bill by usingkitchen appliances wisely

Kitchen appliances repre-sent about 20 percent of theenergy consumed in the aver-age home. But there are waysto reduce the amount of energythese applications use and, inturn, reduce your electricityand natural gas bills.

"The kitchen holds many ofa household's major appli-ances and it's the place whereyou can make a real differenceon both your electricity andnatural gas bills," said FredAbbate, chairman of the NewJersey Utility I -.ducat ion Com-mittee, which conducts theNew Jersey Energy Choice

statewide consumer educationcampaign developed to informNew Jerseyans about thederegulated marketplace forelectricity and natural gas.

Following arc examples ofhow you can conserve energyand save money by makingsmall changes to the way youuse your kitchen appliances;

Ranges and Ovens: Theregular oven in your homeconsumes a great deal of ener-gy. Use a toaster oven ormicrowave for small-to-medi-um-sized-meals. Similarly, usea pressure cooker, rather thancooking with pots on therange. Use flat-bottom pansfor best contact with the heatand use tight fitting lids tokeep the steam in the pan.Preheat your oven only 5-8minutes when baking.

Peeking inside isn't a goodidea either. Inch time youopen the door, the oven tem-perature drops and energy thatyou arc paying for escapes.

Also, use the self-cleaningfeature on your oven onlywhen hand cleaning is impos-sible.

Refrigerator and Freezer:Do not put uncovered liquidsin the refrigerator. The liquids(i,ive off vapors that add to thecompressor workload. Allowhot food to cool slightly beforeputting it in the refrigerator. Afull freezer will perfonn betterthan a nearly empty one. And,defrost your freezer when iceor frost build-up is 1/4 inch orthicker.

Finally, check your refriger-ator/freezer door gasket peri-odically for signs of deteriora-

tion. Here is a handy way ofchecking condition of the gas-ket: place a dollar bill againstthe frame and close the door. Ifthe bill can be pulled out witha very gentle tug, the doorshould be adjusted or the gas-ket replaced.

Dishwasher: Always oper-ate a dishwasher with a fullload. Avoid using the heateddrying cycle. The "EnergySaver" option on most dish-washer does just that. If yourdishwasher doesn't have thisfeature, you can simply turnoff the machine and open thedoor once the washing cycle isfinished. The dishes will thensimply drip and air dry.Another tip is to avoid pre-rinsing dishes before putting(hem in the dishwasher.Scraping off iovd and empty-

ing liquids is all that is neededwith today's dishwashers.

This is another in a series of"Choose to Use EnergyWisely" tips from New JerseyEnergy Choice, the consumereducation program developedto inform New Jerseyans aboutthe deregulated marketplacefor electricity and natural gas.

The program providesinformal: . to consumersinterested in choosing newelectricity or natural gas sup-pliers and consumer guidancefor key decisions that are madeabout energy.

Consumers can learn moreby calling the New JerseyEnergy Choice hotline at 1-877-NJ5-5678 or by visitingthe New Jersey Energy ChoiceWeb Site at www.njenergy-choice. com.

Richard H. Ebnght, a proteinbiochemist at Rutgers'Waksman Institute of Micro-biology, told The New YorkTimes that agents tested everyphotocopier in Rutgers' micro-biology buildings on Jan. 11.That adds up to dozens ofmachines, including Ebright'sown.

'The authorities clearly stillare investigating possible uni-versity links," Ebright said.

Rutgers spokeswoman San-dra Lanman said last week thatshe did not know of any investi-gation involving Rutgers, but"the university's policy is not tocomment on investigations byoutside agencies."

No anthrax research is con-ducted at Rutgers, Lanman said.

FBI officials in Washingtonwould not comment on whethertests were conducted at othersites, but said the technique isstandard.

Experts say photocopiersleave subtle clues on paper thatcan narrow the search lor wherecopying was done. The makeup

Kessler Offers Tips On ProtectingYour Child From Computer Overuse Injury

AREA Whether typing aschool term paper or surfing theInternet, your child may hespending mam hours at the com-puter both at school and at homeAs a result, children are begin-ning to experience the same com-puter-related disorders that haveplagued their parents for yearsHowever, preventing these con-ditions is much easier than treat-ing them after they develop Bydesigning a child's computerworkstation in more economi-cally correct manner, you canhelp your children avoid thestresses associated with computeruse and thus prevent injury

"Too often, children are usingequipment that is not set up fortheir size putting them at posturalrisk," said Norma Glennon, OTR,CHT, Manager of OccupationalTherapy Services. Kessler Reha-bilitation Centers "Poor postureusually leads to discomfort in theneck, shoulders, back, arms andhands"

Repetitive stress injuries (RSI)are most commonly associatedwith computer over use RSI area group of conditions, such ascarpal tunnel syndrome, ten-

donitis. and cervical radimlopa-thv. generally, caused by placingtoo much stress on the muscles,tendons and nerves in a particularjoint

"When stress on a joint occursrepeatedly the body does nothave time to recover and there-fore becomes irritated," statedGlennon

Resulting symptoms caninclude tightness, soreness, orburning in the hands, wrists, fin-gers, forearms, and elbows, tin-gling, coldness, and numbness inthe hands, decreased strength andcoordination in the hands, painthat increases at night or withsleep, and, feeling a need to mas-sage hands, wnsts, and arms forrelief

To help reduce the possibilityof your child suffering from RSIor other compu*er-related in-juries, Kessler recommends thefollowing

• Proper computer place-ment. Position the computermonitor at or slightly below eyelevel, centered and approximate-ly 18" to 24" from the eyes "Anygreater distances may contributeto poor posture if the child needs

to lean forward or look up ordown to read the screen," notedGlennon

• Correct seating positionAccording to Glennon, properseating may be the most cnticalaspect in preventing computer-related injury Make sure yourchild is seated properly with themonitor eye level, feet flat on thefloor, and back supported If thechair is non-adjustable, you canimprovise Have the child sit on afirm pillou, old telephone bookor a ream of paper Or, use a tele-phone book or a backpack as afootrest Also, a rolled up towelcan be placed in the small of thechild's back for added back sup-port Adjustable armrests are alsorecommended for additional armsupport

• Encourage good postureSlouching forces shoulders downand forward and causes the chinto jut out and, thus, places con-siderable strain on the neck, backand entire upper body. "In fact,the pressure on the back is great-est when sitting in a slouchedposition," said Glennon Goodposture is demonstrated by thehead in a neutral position with

chin tucked in, back straight;shoulders relaxed; elbows at nghtangles to arms; and wristsaligned with the forearm "But,even 'perfect' posture can resultin problems," warns Glennon, "ifit is held too rigidly for long peri-ods of time"

• Teach proper typing tech-niques While typing, allow thearms to move the hands aroundinstead of resting the wrist andstretching the fingers to reach thekeys "Wrists pads should beused for rest onlyM statedGlennon Strike the keyboardgentlv and utilize both hands toperform double-key operationssuch as Ctrl-P Wrists shouldremain neutral without bendingsideways, up or down. If using amouse, grasp it lightly withoutsqueezing and keep it as close tothe keyboard as possible toreduce awkward movements.

• Emphasize breaks every15-20 minutes Encourage chil-dren to stand, walk around, andstretch "Stretch breaks helpreduce the muscle tension causedwhen the body remains in a fixedposition for too long," saidGlennon Stretches can include:tucking in the chin and slowlyturning the head to the right, holdfor 30 seconds, and repeat to theleft, shoulder shrugs and rolls;

making a fist and then spreadingfingers open, with hands behindthe head, pinching shoulderblades together; and while stand-ing, with knees slightly bent, tryany touch palms to the lloor

Most importantly, set a goodexample yourself when workingor playing at the computer andyour children will follow your er-gonomically correct lead.

A Smooth Ride While Sledding

STATE-OF-THE-ART SITE — helping to break ground for the newradiology pavilion at Bayshore Community Hospital are: (L-R)Henry West, chairperson, board of trustees, BayshoreCommunity Health Services, Alfred Casagrande, MD, member,board of trustees Bayshore Community Health Services;Thomas Goldman, president and CEO, Bayshore CommunityHealth Services, Arnold Derman, MD, chief of radiology,Bayshore Community Hospital, Holmdel Mayor Art Davey, andRaimonda Clark, vice president operations, BayshoreCommunity Hospital

AREA—Fast and fun, sled-ding is a winter activity thewhole family can enjoy. But,like most sports, there is apotential for senous injury Infact, more than approximately45,000 sledding injuries eachyear require emergency treat-ment most of which are pre-ventable

The majority of sleddinginjuries occur to childrenbetween the ages of 5-14 asthe result of collisions withother sledders or stationaryobstacles, loss of Control andinadequate supervision.

To keep sledding injury

As seen withjay Leno and

SallyRaphael

free, try to:* Find a safe environ-

ment-avoid icy conditions,rocky hills, steep terrain, poor-ly lit areas, and sledding intostreets, driveways or parkinglots The best hills will have along, empty space at the bot-tom for slowing down andstopping safely

* Use a wooden sled withsome kind of steering mecha-nism rather than an impromptusled, such as a piece of card-board, that can't be easily con-trolled. In addition, snow tubesand disks are more dangerousthan sleds because of their fastspeed and lack of control

* Always sit up or kneelwhen riding Sledding head-first can result in head andneck injuries, while toboggan-style sledding, head down with

feet first, often results in spinalcord injuries.

* Helmets should be wornto absorb head impact.Sledders should always wearlayers of clothing for protec-tion from cold Tuck in andsecure scarves, laces or gar-ments with drawstrings.

* Teach children how tostop by dragging their feet ormaking a sharp turn. If a sledcannot be stopped, teach themto roll off from the sled ontothe ground and let the sledcontinue on its way.

Above all, the best advice isto be there when children sledand educate them on safety.Better yet, get in on the funand sled with them!

2OO2 Tax Filing Season Begins; IRS Encourages E-FilingAREA - The Internal Rev-

enue Service kicked off the 2002tax filing season with new andexpanded services, features andcredits to help taxpayers Theagency also encouraged taxpayersand tax practitioners to considere-filing following a new studyspotlighting the program's grow-ing popularity with users

"More than 900,000 New Jer-seyans chose IRS e-file options in2001. We anticipate over I mil-lion New Jerseyans will elect to e-file in 2002," IRS spokespersonGregg Semanick said "We areworking hard to improve andexpand service to taxpayers. E-fil-ing is better than ever, and I high-ly recommend that taxpayers andpractitioners take advantage ofit," Semanick said.

Taxpayers are encouraged touse IRS e-fi Ie this year followinga new study showcasing the pro-gram as an example of high cus-tomer satisfaction among govern-ment agencies. The AmericanCustomer Satisfaction indexplaced the satisfaction rate forelectronic filers at 77, marking thethird year in a row taxpayersusing IRS e-fi Ie expressed in-creased satisfaction This elec-tronic score helped the IRS postan 11 percent increase in overallcustomer satisfaction among allindividual tax filers since 2000and a 22 percent increase since1999. The IRS had the largestfavorable gain out of the 30 gov-ernment agencies surveyed.

"The secret is getting out aboute-file," Semanick said "Peoplewho use it like it. It's fast, accu-rate and dependable and deliversrefunds in as little as 10 days."This year, there's even more to

like about e-filing In all, 29 moreforms and schedules have beenadded making e-fi I e virtuallyaccessible for all individual tax-payers.

41 An estimated 4 1 millionNew Jerseyans will be filingindividual tax returns and weare encouraging them to use thesafe, secure e-filing system,which delivers refunds in halfthe time of paper tax returns,"Semanick said

Taxpayers who file through acomputer or a telephone can lookfor these benefit*:

• Faster Refunds: Direct De-posit can speed refunds to e-filersin as few as 10 days. The averagee-ftle refund is issued in 14 days

• More Accurate Returns: IRScomputers quickly and automati-cally check for errors or othermissing information, making e-filed returns more accurate andreducing the chance of getting anerror letter from the IRS

• Quick Electronic Confirma-tion Computer e-filers receive anacknowledgement that the IRShas received their returns

• Delete the PaperworkThrough Electronic SignaturesTaxpayers can create their ownPersonal Identification Number(PIN) and file a completelypaperless return using their taxpreparation software or tax pro-fessional

• Easy Payment Options E-fil-ers with a balance due can sched-ule a safe and convenient elec-tronic funds withdrawal fromtheir bank account, or pay with acredit card.

• Federal/State e-filing: NewJerseyans can e-file their federaland state tax returns in one trans-

mission to the IRS The IRS for-wards the state data to the NJDivision of Taxation

Semanick encouraged taxpay-ers and tax practitioners whoalready use computers to considere-filing In New Jersey, about I 2million tax returns are preparedon computer but are still sent inon paper With little effort, thesereturns could be sent electronical-

iyOther highlights taxpayers

should watch for as they file taxreturns for 2001

• Higher child tax credit. Thisyear, eligible parents will get amaximum $600 tax credit perchild, a $100 increase from theprevious year.

• Easier problem solving. Anew feature on the 1040 formallows a taxpayer to designate atrusted family member, friend ortax professional to talk directly tothe IRS about any tax return pro-cessing questions

• Tax rate reductions Due tolower tax rates, most people re-ceived an Advance PaymentCheck last year and will not needto do anything on their 2001 taxreturns However, those who didnot get the maximum checkamount ($300, $500 or $600 de-pending on filing status) may beable to get the tax cut benefit ontheir 2001 returns

The IRS encourages taxpayersto call or go online for their taxassistance needs The IRS hasadded features to provide taxpay-ers and tax practitioners with bet-ter service The IRS has adjusted

the hours of service on its toll-freeline, 1-800-829-1040 (800-TAX-1040) to provide assistance dur-ing periods of heaviest use from 7am to 10 p.m. weekdays and 9a.m. to 5 p.m Saturdays Tax prac-titioners now have access to thenew Practitioner Priority Service,a nationwide, toll-free technicalsupport system for taxpayers

More information on thesefeatures and an an-ay of otherIRS changes is available as partof "News for You2002" Thefeature showcases 13 fact sheets

highlighting service improve-ments and changes affectingindividual and business taxpay-ers as well as tax practitioners.The latest updates of "News forYou 2002" as well as other help-ful information are posted onthe IRS web site at www irs.gov.

Semanick urged taxpayers toget an early start on their taxesand not wait until the last minute.'Our advice is simple," he said."Start early, take your time, try e-filing and remember we're here tohelp."

Keep Church And Slate Separateby Peter Book

Once again the time of yearhas come when I must delivermy jeremiad against MayorJoseph Vas because he delivershis State of the City Address inthe Cathedral. This is a blatantviolation of the time honoredseparation of Church <"id State.This address is governmentalfunction which should be givenat the City Hall or at a publicfacility. Not at a religious insti-tution or a private or commer-cial establishment. Each andevery citizen is entitled to knowhow his government is run in asafe and secure environmentfree of any religious trappings,

Hizzoner apparently is notsatisfied with being the Boss ofthis city. He now has aNepoleonic complex. WhenNapoleon was coronated, hetook the crown from the Pope

nd with his own handscrowned himself Emperor. Herestored the union of Churchand State. He later admittedthis was his worst mistake.Collier's Encyclopedia-Vol.

17, page 135). In a much small-er way Hizzoner is re-enactingthe scene with the Bishop ofMadison Avenue.

The good Bishop is equally

to blame for allowing his place

of worship to be used by politi-

cians. Would Jesus have stood

for this? The Gideon Bible,

which I picked up in some long

ago forgotten hotel room,

states, St. Matthew 21-31, page

871- "And said unto them it is

written, My house shall

called the house of worship; but

ye have made it a den of

thieves."

Mayor Vas also violates a

city ordinance when he paves

the sidewalks of a church ard

various businesses including

saloons. The ordinance plainly

states that each property owner

is responsible for his/her or its

own sidewalk. Every property

owner whose sidewalk has

been repaired or fixed by the

city should be made to pay for

it. Ordinance 386-14. The city

does not pay for the mainte-

nance of my sidewalk nor that

of any other church. Where is

that young-or not w

young- lawyer looking for a

cause? There *t is pick up the

ball and run it in to the end

zone. It is a shame that the good

works of Hizzoner are tar-

nished by these transgressions.

LINT FOR TIIK BRAIN .JY IlKNRY DAMEN

True BlueDid you know that Planned Parenthood in Roanoke, VA has a

drive-through window? Apparently, this is a new thing. Has noth-ing to do with fast food, and everything to do with being fast.

Anyway, these days you can drive right up and get red, whiteand blue condoms. AP reports that Planned Parenthood of theBlue Ridge is selling them to raise money for the 911 Fund creat-ed by New York Community Trust and the United Way of NewYork City.

David Nova, president and CMC) of the Planned Parenthoodoffice explains that "the incidence of unintended pregnancy risesdramatically in the weeks and months following a death or tragicloss." He says he hopes that offering "patriotic condoms," will"stem the increase of unintended pregnancies while lettingAmericans display their colors proudly.1'

Oh, please, I know a House subcommittee is planning to holdhearings on the use of disaster relief donations, but I don't care todig any deeper than this one.

Setf-RelionceThe spirit of scif-rcliance isn't dead in the United States, as

demonstrated by the passengers in an airliner flying over

Pennsylvania who apparently chose to resist their hijackers.Yes,

the plane crash-ed and killed all aboard, but I wish more people

understood that the actions of these citizens should be considered

a basic duty.

A generation of children raised on video games and television

may not understand that sometimes you have to do things that are

physically difficult, uncomfortable or even painful. Today, parents

must work to educate their children that hard work is its own

reward. I suggest that you take a hard look at the way your chil-

dren are being raised and that you find methods of putting them

into programs or situations where they can be challenged: Boy

Scouts, Outward Bound, NRA Whittington Center (which has

great programs for youngsters involving the outdoors and shoot-

ing), liven if you simply take your family hiking or camping when

the weather is bad, you will be teaching the kids that just because

something is difficult doesn't mean it is impossible.

Twe'ity years ago, I wrote a book about close calls with death

in the outdoors. In speaking with survivors, I heard whether they

were caught in a storm off the coast of South America, trapped by

a sudden snowstorm that killed other Colorado elk hunters or were

mauled by a grizzly. They each talked of the need for physical

strength and of the mental debate, the bargainings. "I'll walk a bit

farther, just to that big rock, then I'll lie down," they heard them-

selves say. Bargaining with death. It would be easier to give up

because to keep fighting just prolongs the misery.

Through my research, one fact stayed with me: Tolerance

increases with exposure. The more discomfort you have been

through, the more you can tolerate. Our soft lives do not prepare

us for the physical and mental demands of any true survival situ-

ation. Perhaps we should work on that.
