In the process, they'll focus on two individual artists and a seven-person collective. The galleries are part of the arts renaissance of North Lansing. (Another example of the arts push is photographer Jane Rosemont, featured on Page ID.) Now all three will hold receptions from 1-5 p.m., to introduce shows that will continue throughout March. TWO DOORS DOWN, 1219 Turner, will feature Jim Lyman, an Okemos artist with southern roots. Lyman graduated from the University of Georgia in 1975, then picked up his Master of Fine Arts degree at Michigan State University in Now he has a studio at the Lansing Frame Shop, and he figures his work has been influenced by Lansings gloomy weather.

"My earlier work is characterized by its light and bright colors. Now my colors appear more subdued." THE 1984 GALLERY, 1217 Turner, will feature Bruce Thayer, who will also include a few. of his pieces in Lyman's show. Thayer graduated from Everett High and Central Michigan University, then got a master's degree at the Chicago Art Institute. He works at OldsmoDile and also creates graph prints at Studio Frame.

And in this show, we see the tribal influence is direct and startling.

Dear Ann Landers: I hope I can 'put my problem in language you will be able to print because there must be a lot of people out there who need -help, as I do. I am 58 years old and have had six children.

I look like the picture of and actually I am not ill, but my problem has caused me a lot of embarrassment and has ruined many a social occasion. To put it bluntly, I wet my pants when I sneeze or cough unexpectedly or when I laugh a lot. Sometimes I feel -that awful dampness (or worse yet, trickling) for no reason at all. Last week my husband and I went to the theater with another couple. I had heard it was a hilarious play so I packed myself with a sizable wad of paper tissues.

I felt safe until I stood jip to leave. The tissue was soaked and so was the back of my dress. Luckily for me I had brought a light along, but I felt so humiliated and hoped no one noticed my stockings. The last time I saw my doctor was three years ago. The problem was so slight I mentioned it only casually.

Ie called it urinary incontinence, and said it is not uncommon and to come back if it got to be a real nuisance. I hate going to doctors, which is crazy, I know, but that's the way I am. Please advise me, Ann. If you say i should go to the doctor, I will, but what other help is there for people like me? Mrs. In Oak Park, 111.

I have this need to know what kind of medications they use and also want to find out if they are better (or worse) housekeepers than I am. Am I nutty or do other people do this?
