"I try not to use (an air conditioner) until I just can't get by without it. I like to stay out on the porch with the wind," she said. "I try to get up early and do my work before it gets hot.

I don't turn the stove on. I just eat a sandwich." UM Volunteers will repair Mrs. Carter's porch steps, porch floor and ceiling and add a handrail this week. If time permits, the group plans to paint as well. Rozella Corprew, who has lived in her Paris home 22 years, thinks "it's wonderful" the UM Army volunteers are coming to her home.

The 86-year-old former Lubbock resident spends her days cooking, keeping a spotless house and taking care of five chickens, a rooster and her poodle of-17 years. Lady. When she finishes her daily work, she said she spends the rest of the day, "piddling around and looking at TV." Mrs. Corprew said it's hard to make ends meet and she's "glad (the UM Army, volunteers) think enough of (her) to come." The volunteers plan to paint both the exterior and interior of Mrs. Corprew's house and repair her porch rails and steps this week.

Of the group's arrival Mrs. Corprew said she won't know what to do, "I'll be shouting and hollering so." Ethel Minor said about the youth volunteers, she's glad to hear "some good instead of some bad all the time." Mrs. Minor, who has been living in her Paris home since 1951, said she needs a lot done because, "I haven't been getting things done like I used to."

Jet skis involved in majority boating accidents according to Texas officials Allai Nribard News Staff Writer According to Texas Parks and Wildlife officials, personal watercraft, or jet skis, are involved in the majority of boating accidents. "They either cause them or are involved somehow," Regional Lt Scott Haneysaid. Haney said 20 to 25 jet skis are sold for every boat sold in the region. Their small size and sporty action on wakes makes for individual or two- person fun and can even pull a skier, making them popular.

Some newer models include four passenger seating. Aggressive, long-term financing of the craft by dealers have made for increased sales by Offering low monthly payments. Prices range from $4,000 up to $10,000. "One time on a Sunday I counted 25 jet skis in the Sanders Cove area, all like bumblebees roaming in and out," game warden Greg Williford said of heavy traffic on Pat Mayse Lake. Some boaters have acknowledged both the limited visibility of the jet skis and the unsafe practices by some riders as causing danger and accidents locally.

Williford offered the following tips for jet ski safety: Operators under the age of 13 must have either com- pleted a boater safety course or be accompanied by someone over i7-years-old. Operators must have a kill switch connected to their person, such as to their wrist, so the craft is disabled if the rider falls. They must also wear a life jacket. The jet ski must remain at least 50 feet away from other watercraft, shorelines, docks and swimming areas unless at idle speed and must not recklessly jump the wake of another vessel. Jet skis must be off the lake between sunset and sunrise.

Only boats with.proper lighting can remain on the lake after dark. Death of Colorado inmate in Texas prison prompts request for review by ACLU DENVER An attorney says the local American Civil Liberties Union will ask an expert to take another look at medical facilities at a Texas prison in the wake of a Colorado inmate's recent death. Frank Mares, 62, who had a history of heart died last week of ah apparent heart attack. Fallow inmates said he was ordered back to his unit twice that day after seeking emergency treatment. "We are wondering if Mr.

Mares' death could have been prevented if he had adequate medical attention," attorney Nicole Morbach said Friday. She said her firm, Holland, and Hart, and Ihe Colorado ACLU plan to ask an expert to review the prison's medical facilities. "We're interested in constitutional issues, of course, but if there is a systemic problem there, it needs to be addressed," she said. Morbach's firm is working with the state ACLU chapter over inmates' complaints about conditions at the prison, located near San Antonio. Colorado inmates housed with Mares said that when he suffered his heart attack, he did not receive adequate emergency medical treatment and an ambulance took more than 40 minutes to arrive.

Liz McDoQough, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections, said the department is satisfied that Mares received ade- quate care. The facility apparently has one registered nurse and a doctor is available only once a week, Morbach sakL The attorney said it takes inmates as long as four weeks to see a doctor. Morbach said an air conditioning failure may have been a contributing factor in Mates' becoming 3L Temperatures at the prison have topped 110 degrees daily. "My understanding is they have been without for, about two weeks," she said. Because of overcrowding in Colorado, state prison officials contract with the Kames County Correctional Center in Texas to house some 300 inmates.
