ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM THE FLU OR THE FLUE?
Carbon monoxide is an ill wind that blows no good. It's a deadly presence in homes where appliances like the furnace or water heater fail to burn fuel efficiently Or where clogged chimneys vent improperly.
And because carbon monoxide poisoning results from an invisible, odorless gas, its effects are often mistaken for fatigue or flu symptoms. A mistake that can be FATAL.
That's why it's important to have your heating and ventilation checked regularly. Also be wary of persistent nausea, headaches, ringing in the ears, and drowsiness. Especially where windows and doors are sealed shut.
In that event, the thing to do is to go outside and get some fresh air. Then if you don't improve, it could be a bug going around. At least you'll feel better knowing it's not the FLUE!
If you have any questions, please contact our office. CALL 843-7842

Family describes released hostage as an adventurer
The Associated Press
MALDEN, Mass. — Newly released hostage Frank Herbert Reed was an intelligent adventurer who got caught up in Middle East turbulence just as he was trying to escape from a region, friends and relatives said.
But they also said he had the Yanlee stolicism it takes to ride out even the storm of 3½ years of captivity in Lebanon.
"He would never give up, I hope it's a Reed trait. We certainly are self-made in what we do," his 70-year-old brother, Edward, said after he and other family members received news of the release.
Reed, 57, had traveled to the North Pole, the jungles of Brazil and the Australian outback. He was a teacher and school principal in New England and founded the Admiral Byrd Polar Club in Whitefield, N.H., which sponsored expeditions to Antarctica.
"It appealed to the adventurer in him," said Maryellen Cavan, a former New Hampshire colleague.
Later, he converted to Islam, the religion of his wife, Fahima Dalati, 39, a Syrian national who met him in when she was training to be a teacher.
But after making two trips to Lebanon, he left his post as school principal in New Hampshire to become director of elementary education at Beirut's International College in 1977.
When the International College was bombed, Reed founded the private Lebanese International School.
A nephew said Reed decided to stay on because he thought he could be of help, especially to young students. And one of his daughters, Martilyn Langston, said that education was important to him.
"He was pretty flamboyant and wouldn't show he was afraid," she said. "But it certainly unnerved him."
Though Reed came to realize that violence was a way of life around Beirut and learned to work around it, he was not injured to it. Cavan said.
Finally, even Reed decided to leave. At the time of his abduction, he was trying to make arrangements for his wife, known as Fifi, to come to the United States and had intentions of coming home, Edward Reed said.
The couple has a 9-year-old son, Tarek, and Reed has two grown daughters from a previous marriage.
Reed grew up in Malden, the youngest of three sons. His father was part owner of a leather wholesale firm.

"He was the baby in the family and whatever the baby wanted, he got," Edward Reed said.

"He had an impact on everybody who dealt with him in our community." Cavan said. "He's a unique individual."
Amogene Rolerson taught with Reed in the early 1960s in Islesboro, Maine, and said he was a person who liked a lot of action. "He liked to be doing and going. He was always in the thick of everything.
His 91-year-old mother, Leota Sprague, said she thought that her son could do anything and that during his captivity he might outsmart the people who kidnapped him and escape.
"I can't imagine him being cooped up all the time that he's been cooped up," she said.
Reed and his wife faced the objections of her parents because he was a U.S. citizen and Protestant.
"We had to try to convince them we wanted to get married." Fifi Reed said. "We were just the right people for each other. This is the time I remember. We just had a great time together. I used to say, 'It's too nice to be true,' and it was too nice to be true. It ended all of a sudden."
Reed's family called the espionage charge ridiculous, saying Reed had no interest in politics. "I don't even know if I ever voted," said newbuck Ken Reed.
She and her son have been living at her mother-in-law's Malden apartment for about a year. Almost all of Reed's immediately surviving relatives were at the apartment when news of his release came.
After Reed was abducted Sept. 9, 1986, a caller to a Western news agency claimed the American was a CIA svv.
A former Lebanese reporter, Tewfik Mishawi, now working at the Center for Foreign Journalists in Reston, Va., said Reed was apolitical and had friends all across the country.
I'm thrilled. I'm overjoyed. I'm everything. All of the above that describe happiness." Fiff Reed said.
Mishawi said Beirut's cycle of terror kept Reed's new school from flourishing. But Edward Reed said, "He thought it was a challenge to be there. He thought he was doing good there."
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush hailed the release yesterday of the second U.S. hostage in eight days in Afghanistan and said no resentful all hostages were free.
Bush lauds release of second hostage
"This is a joyous day," Bush said after Frank Reed was turned over in Beirut to Syrian officials after 43 months of captivity.
Reed gained his freedom as former hostage Robert Polhill, who was released April 22, prepared for a meeting with Bush at the White House. Polhill, who was held for 30 days in detention at Walter Reed Army Medical Center since he returned to the United States on Friday.
six U.S. citizens and 10 other Westerners still are being held hostage in Lebanon.
The White House reiterated its demand that all hostages be released before Bush redeems his pledge that goodwill be goodwill.
"The president said before . . . that normalization of relations depended upon the release of the hostages and there's been no change in that situation," said Marlin Fitzwater, presidential spokesman.
Bush said, "We urge all parties who either hold hostages or have any influence over the hostage takers to work for the expedition and unconditional release of the remaining hostages."
He publicly thanked Syria and Iran for helping arrange Reed's release. He also had credited them when Polhill was freed.
White House officials said that they had made no deals to win Reed's freedom but that Iran and Syria apparently were working to free the hostages in hopes of improving relations with Washington.
In a reference to the others still held, he said, "The predicant重量 on our mind and tempers the joy we feel today."
