One of the children committed suicide, but others have made it on their own. "We were a temporary holding place until things changed in their home," she said. When their son, Shawn, was just beginning school, the "couple were fosters to two sisters who, Linda said, "were just cute as a button." Both of the girls had emotional problems but Linda said they fit into their family quite well.

She added, "It was delightful." When the mother of the two girls agreed to let the Wis-chmeiers adopt them, Linda was thrilled "We were attached." The adoption which the Wis-chmeiers had with the two girls was an open adoption, which means that the birth parents are free to see the children. A history of The earliest Mother's Day celebration, according to www.holidays.net, can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea; the mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday." Celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, "Mothering Sunday," honored the mothers of England, -vr In the United States Moth-- er's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe held organized Mother's Day meetings in Boston every, year.

In 1907, Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a cam riday at about one-third. Friday was an early-release day for students to allow for teacher in-service, Events that led to Curl's arrest after he allegedly threatened "prep" students and occurred so rapidly that school officials had little time to relay information to parents and the community, Kidd told parents. "We talked on Thursday about making a public state? ment," Kidd said. "On Thursday we didn't intend to have the police here today, for example," he said. "Also on Thursday, we didn't want to escalate the rumors." The incident, however, picked up steam when police contacted school officials with information about their investigation on Thursday.

"Until then we just had rumors," Kidd said. After Curl's arrest, officers armed with a search warrant for his home found materials and pictures depicting anti-establishmentarianism, as well as how-to instructions for explosive devices and school revolution techniques. No explosive devices or weapons were found during the search, which began shortly after 1 ajn. Friday. School officials spent all day Thursday talking with students individually and during a convocation about the rumors, and the evening talking with concerned parents, McCormick said.

Students were asked not to spread rumors, but to report to an adult within the school any direct knowledge. Curl reportedly first came under suspicion on Monday when McCormick said he received a complaint from a parent. Curl's locker was searched, but nothing was found. Curl also had been wearing a duster-type black coat. The two gunmen in the Columbine High School incident at Littleton, that left 11 students, a teacher and the two gunmen dead, also wore duster-type coats.

While her children may have taken precedence over-attaining a degree, it is in part because of her children that she, finally has attained this important goal. At about the same time as her daughter -prepared to make the change from high to college campus, Blanton also found her own life at a crossroads. The thought of college Once more entered her mind, and her children urged her to give it a try. "It really was at their encouragement that I went," Blanton said.

As Hurley headed off to Butler University, Blanton began her own studies through the Indiana University Purdue University system.

Linda said of the girls who are now adults, "They have security with us." Their brother was recently married, and both girls were a part of the ceremony. The experiences the Wis-chmeiers had during their years as foster parents made their connection with children stronger and, Linda said, "It pulled us closer together." Although times were never easy for the Wischmeiers' being foster parents, Linda would recommend being a foster parent. I would like people to know that you're going to learn a lot and you must be prepared to love more than you ever thought you could," she said.

Motherls Day paign to establish a national Mother's Day. She persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, W.V. to celebrate Mother's Day on the-second anniversary of her mother's death, the second Sunday of May. Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessmen and politicians to establish a national Mother's Day.

It was successful, asby. 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holidays that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May. sented by Chosen Children Adoption Services Inc. and Adoption Center of Washington.

"And above everything, we want something in place that will make students feel they can talk with an adult. We want to ensure parents and our students that school officials are doing their very best to ensure that our schools are safe.

We believe the best course of action is not to give in to our fears. There is no absolute guarantee about anything. Although fear is under? standable, we must continue' to live our lives, including having school." There will most likely not be a police presence outside the school on Monday, McCormick said. He added parents uncomfortable' sending their children to school should probably not do so. Kidd said students not attending school will be counted absent unless they have permission from their parents.

That absence, however, would count against a student with perfect attendance, he added. The school has made no plans for a closed campus, which has been discussed at various times over the years, Kidd said. "It may- be something i we look at again," he added. McCormick plans to hold a public meeting with parents at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the school auditorium.
