His son, also a Doug, wears Spock look-alike costume
that won a prize at the Star Trek convention in Philly.
His eyes glanced onee to
her, so swiftly only she
caught it. Kane’s attention
was fully locked on him.
“You are a fool, Kane,” he
snarled. “You will die for
this—and slowly.”
“It is you, Captain, who
will die in shame.”
The S’fali laughed.
Kane’s attention went to
her for one half-second. In
that heartbeat, Kosar drew
and fired his weapon,
swung it to the second and
third man before they could
react. One man could have
shot the Captain in that
blurring spin, but he was
abruptly without half a
hand. Before his scream
erupted, the other two
were writhing on the floor.
The S’fali straightened,
hands open. ‘‘More coming

Kosar held his gun
loosely. ‘‘The rest will have

The $3 million Commun-
ity Development Funding
pie hasn’t been cut yet, but
47 county projects have
been ‘‘tentatively’’ selected
from the 119 original
requests for money. If all
the tentatively approved
projects are finally approv-
ed, the county will get
$3,063,624; the original
requests summed to more
than $21 million.
These preliminary ap-
provals were selected by
the 70 people who sat on
the county Advisory Com-
mittees.
The next step in the
selection process is a series
of five public meetings, at
which citizens may com-
ment on the selection of
projects. This is not a
formality: if you have sug-
gestions for changing the
below-listed funding, go to
the local meeting, tonight,
March 8th, at Beahm
Junior High. The meeting
starts at 7:00 in the
cafeteria.
The county Redevelop-
ment Authority will formal-
ly approve the selection
later this month. After
more deliberation or paper-
shuffling in Washington,
the funds will arrive—most
likely in the fall.
Below is a list of projects
of local interest. The first
figure in each paragraph is
the number of dollars
asked for: The second is
the amount of money slated
to be given the requesting
group.

Flooding?
—Here’s what to do if
A flood may come yet,
according to experts; if a
sudden thaw or heavy rains
arrive to quickly, the
Susquehanna could wash
some of the township away
again.
While you can’t do much
to stop a flood, you can
take precautions. Get ready
by following some of these
tips:
1. Know the warning
system in your area.
2. Keep your car’s ‘tank
, full.
3. stockpile supplies—radio
(battery operated), 1st aid
gear, food, can opener,
light source, water, blan-
kets, water purification
tablets, toilet facilities.
4. Flood-proof your build-
ing by installing check
valves in sewer traps,
sealing wall and floor
cracks with hydraulic ce-
ment, screen low windows
to prevent breakage by
floating objects, and get
ready to protect moveable
appliances. Put your refri-
gerator, etc., on blocks.
Fire Hazard— fires are
actually more of a threat
during a flood. Before your
house is inundated, turn off
the main power switch; but
don’t turn it off while
standing in water, or you'll
zap yourself.

On behalf of the com-
munity, we wish to express
our sympathy to the R.
James Leonard family for
the ordeal they went
through last week, and our
joy that they are all safely
together again.
Mr. Leonard said in a
telephone interview that
‘““We appreciate everyone’s
thoughts, concern, and
prayers.”’ He said that his
girls are ‘‘feeling pretty
good,’’ but he hopes that
the affair will be forgotten
quickly for their sake.
