COOKS CORNER
By Hazel Shockey
I shared my recipe for half-whole wheat bread last week and
have a request to share one for white bread. This is for bread-
maker, and I have used it several times and it is very good.

LAUGHTER IS GOOD LIKE MEDICINE:
Some funny store signs:
On a desk in a reception room: We shoot every third salesman,
and the second one just left.
At the electric company: We would be de-lighted if you send
your bill. However, if you don’t, you will be.
Outside on a muffler shop: No appointment necessary, we
hear you coming.
Hope you have a good laugh just for the health of it. God
Bless.
OPINION IN BRIEF
“Which of these three options is more likely to prevent further
murderous rampages: a) making universities closed campuses
and increasing the police presence on campus (as the president of
[Northern Illinois University] has promised to do); b) making guns
much harder to obtain; or c) enabling specially trained students and
faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus? Because political
correctness has replaced wisdom at nearly all universities, colleges
are considering options a and b. But the only thing the first option
will accomplish is to reduce the quality of university life and ren-
der the campus a larger version of the contemporary airport. And
the second option will have no effect whatsoever since whoever
wishes to commit murder will be able to obtain guns illegally. But
if would-be murderers know that anywhere they go to kill students,
there is a real likelihood that one or two students will shoot them
first, and if in fact some would-be murderer is killed before he
can murder any, or at least many, students, we will see far fewer
such attempts made. Even though many of these murderers end
up killing themselves, they don’t want to die until they have first
murdered as many students and teachers as possible. Of course,
there is virtually no chance that the uniformly left-thinking indi-
viduals who run our universities will ever consider this option. To
do so would mean abandoning what is essentially a religious-like
conviction that guns are immoral rather than the people who use
them immorally.” —Dennis Prager

Do you ever wonder about your roots?
Who were your great-grandmother and grandfa-
ther? Who were their parents? Sometimes those ques-
tions are easily answered. Often the answers get lost.
Alex Haley decided to find those answers and more.
Alex Palmer Haley was bom in Ithaca, New York in
1921. He was the son of two teachers, Simon Haley
and Bertha Palmer Haley.
Shortly after Haley was bom, the family moved to
Henning, Tennessee where Alex's grandfather owned
the local lumber company. When his grandpa died,
his father took over the lumber business. His mom died
when he was 10 years old.
In Henning, Alex spent time with his grandmother,
Cynthia Palmer. She told him many stories about his
mother's family history. One story was about Alex's
great-great-great-great grandfather who was an Afri-
can called "Kin-tay". He was brought by slave-ship to
America and was renamed Toby.
School was not easy for Alex. He went to college at
age 15, but dropped out.
During World War II Haley joined the Coast Guard
as a mess boy. Haley started writing adventure stories
because he was bored. He was soon promoted to Chief
Journalist. He would help his fellow sailors write love
letters to send home to their wives or girlfriends.
He also submitted writings to magazines. It took
eight years and many rejection slips before he was fi-
nally published.
Haley .retired from the Coast Guard in 1959 and be-
came a full-time writer. He wrote for Reader's Digest
and other magazines.

Ala Haley, author of "Boob”
In 1965, Haley found the names of his maternal
great-grandparents in records at the National Archives
in Washington, D.C. He was soon off to the village of
Juffure, in Africa, to trace his ancestors. He met with a
griot (an oral historian) who could name Haley's own
ancestor, Kunta Kinte.
Haley used his research to write a novel titled
"Roots." In 1977 the book won the National Book
Award and a special Pulitzer Prize. It sold more than
a million copies in the first year.
"Roots" also became a television mini series. A sec-
ond series, "Roots: The Next Generations," ran in 1979.
Haley died of a heart attack on Feb. 10, 1992. He
was working on a book about his father's family at the
time. "Queen" was published after Haley's death.
Americans have observed Black History Month
since 1926. Dr. Carter Woodson founded the celebra-
tion to bring attention to the role of blacks in Ameri-
can history. He picked February because Abraham
Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois were
born in February. The 15th Amendment granting
blacks the right to vote was passed in February, and
the NAACP was founded in February.

pain:
It is estimated that 65 mil-
lion people in the U.S. suffer
from neck or back pain. Neck
and back pain can be caused
by many reasons; most com-
monly, it is caused by bulg-
ing, degenerative or herniated
discs. Until recently treatment
has been limited to medica-
tion, therapy and even surgery.
A new therapy is now avail-
able using FDA registered
equipment, called DTS-spinal
decompression therapy. DTS
therapy has shown excellent
results in clinical trials and is
becoming the leading non-sur-
gical alternative for treatment
of herniated, bulging of degen-
erative discs. DTS therapy gen-
tly decompresses the spine in a
safe and cert controlled manner
to greatly increase critical cir-
culation to the discs and joints
of the spine. The increased
circulation allows the discs and
joints to heal correctly and the
decreased pressure on the spine
provides significant pain re-
duction. For more information
or to schedule a free consulta-
tion and demonstration of DTS
therapy please call the office of
Dr. Dustin E. Ridgway, DC, at
527-3323.
