From there they went to a second home where the major portion of the recov- ered items were found. These items were from Riverview Elementary and Beahm Junior High School. Two 17-year-old juveniles will be charged with the series of burglaries, at- tempted arson and criminal mischief. A last look at Mt.

It’s not designed to please anyone but herself. Paulette worked hard to make the house exactly what she wanted it to be. With the occasional help of two fifteen year old boys she ripped out the existing staircase and built a new one, constructed new window mouldings, built doorways, hung doors, patched the plaster and built a lot of furniture. Photo shows Paulette in her kitchen.

(continued on page 16) 16 sites Tom Spangler’s new Marietta apartment is built into the attic of an old warehouse. “‘I wanted it to be earthy,’”’ says Tom. ‘““There’s no real theme to it.”’ To keep the appearance of the apartment down to earth, Tom used only one coat of paint of the ceiling boards, which surprised the carpenter who was helping Tom fix the place up. The attic was filled to the rooftree with old junk when Tom began rehabilitating the place. He solvage some barrels to make furniture, and used a Zink's Cigar Store sign to decorate a wall. The apartment is paneled with rough-cut spruce and features a loft that must be reached by ladder. An impressive-looking stereo system sits on the bar. Photo shows Tom .n his doorway.
