Dear Yi: Having seen first-hand the suffering and trauma a young family has suffered because of the Makis Scosi mother's addiction to drugs, which began with too much medication for headaches over a long period of time, I'd like to share some advice our doctor gave us on how to prevent and cure headaches naturally. Medication for pain, he told us, will eventually dull or even destroy the brain's ability to produce its own pain-relieving en-rymes. These are some of his suggestions: Prevention is the best cure: Don't allow your bead, neck, and face muscles to freeze. If your work requires you to maintain a fixed position over long periods of time, take a five-minute break every two hours. Also vary your position often and massage the muscles to release tension and improve circulation.

If possible, when the headache first starts, fie down and force yourself to relax for at least a half hour with a small pillow under your neck and another under you knees. If you can't lie down, at least breathe deeply and concentrate on relaxing tense muscles. Apply heat or cold packs (whichever works best for you.) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Utah Supreme Court has upheld a jury's finding of liability in a 1982 malicious prosecution and wrongful termination case filed against Gibson Products Co. and a former store manager. The 23-page decision released Thursday also left in place the district court jury's award of $88,000 in damages to Shauna F.

Hodges. In September 1381, Hodges was accused by then Gibson's Discount Center manager Chad Cros grove and other officials of the Salt Lake County store of stealing an unspecified amount of store receipts. Store officials told Hodges, who insisted she was innocent, that they would not press charges if she resigned and repaid the money. After she refused, the store suspended Hodges and reported the alleged theft to police. In writing for the high court, Justice Daniel Stewart noted that the store did not investigate the possibility that Cros grove who also had access to the store's receipts may have stolen the money.

Hodges was arrested and at a May 12, 1382, preliminary hearing bound over for triaL Before the trial could proceed, a Gibson company audit discovered that Cros grove had embezzled about $9,000 in cash and goods during a period that included the loss blamed on Hodges, Stewart wrote. The justice added mat Gibson did not charge Crosgrove with theft, but allowed him to resign on condition he repay what was taken. Crosgrove resigned on March 14, 1982, seven weeks before Hodges' trial date. The high court found that Gibson officials did not inform the prose neckline Find the tender spots in your head, neck, and shoulders. Believe the tension by applying pressure with your finger bps.

The infant mortality rate fell to 9.1 deaths per 1,000 five births in 1990, down from from 9.7 deaths per 1,000 births the previous year. The New York Tunes reported Saturday. The 6 percent drop was more than twice the 2.5 percent average year-to-year decline in the last decade, according to figures obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics. The figures were to be released Monday, the newspaper said.

The reason for the strong decline was unclear, but government statisticians have cited fee importance of a new drug that helps prevent deaths of premature babies. The latest figures available, broken down by race, indicate that in 1983, the rate was 17.6 deaths for 1,000 live births among blacks, compared with 8 5 deaths for 1,000 live births for whites.

The prosecution immediately dismissed the theft charge against Hodges.

In May 1982, after eight months on suspension and despite dismissal of the charge against her, Gibson fired Hodges. The company alleged she had "failed to follow proper procedures." Hodges sued both Gibson and Crosgrove for malicious prosecution and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and Gibson alone for wrongful termination. A jury found both Gibson and Crosgrove liable for malicious prosecution, but not liable on the emotional distress complaint Gibson also was found liable for wrongful termination. the big loser, dropping 46 pounds to mm aown to 258 pounds.

Stump was accused of accepting from undercover police in- former, Joseph in exchange for promises to fix tickets and get people out of jail. Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley filed a motion Tuesday to remove Stephens as a defendant in the AzScam-related civil-" racketeering suit, but said he wanted to reserve the right to reinstate the suit against Stephens if new information is uncovered that warrants such action. Stephens, who has not been charged with any crime in the case, has asked the court to dismiss him permanently as a defendant and for more than $23,000 in attorney's fees.

In response to Stephens' motion. Deputy County Attorney Alan Da-vidon denied that the civil case against Stephens was based entirely on uncorroborated statements by Stedino. "A great deal of information was available to the state, prior to the filing of the complaint which could lead a reasonable person to believe that there was sufficient evidence to file a civil complaint against (Stephens)," Davidon said. He said that just because the state decided that "it is not appropriate at this time to proceed'' with the case against Stephens does not mean that it will not have reason to reinstate him as a defendant at a later date. call (602) 875 -2799 or extension 1221 The 33 firefighters who dieted all eight weeks lost 539 pounds.

Stanton also was quoted in the AP article as saying that he did not expect the Legislature to take any action to make sure cash contributions are properly reported. "We're just sweeping as much of this under the rug as we can," he was quoted as saying. Stanton told Hendricks that he was misquoted in that instance as well. "I said, if we base anything upon our experience in the political arena, we find that legislatures generally tend to deal with the high profile issues and sweep the rest of the things relative to these matters under the rug," he said in the deposition. Stanton declined in the AP interview to identify any of the lawmakers who received cash contributions at fundraisers he attended.

But be told Hendricks he remembered attending fundraisers for Stephens, D-Phoenix, and James Henderson, D-Window Rock, at which cash was given and that be was unable to tell by checking campaign-finance reports whether it was properly reported. He also said cash was contributed during a fundraiser he attended for Bobby Raymond, a former representative who resigned from the House after he was indicted in the AzScam political-corruption case. But, again, be said he was unable to determine whether or not Raymond properly reported the contributions. Suspended Tolleson Justice of the Peace Donald Stump, one of 13 We're not just another casino; We're the Southwest's Most Complete Resort! PHOENIX (AP) A lobbyist quoted as saying some lawmakers had taken cash contributions without reporting them has told Senate investigators that he was misquoted and that he knew of no unethical conduct on the part of any senator, according to a Senate Ethics Committee report released Friday. In other AzScam-related developments Friday, a Tolleson justice of the peace who pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy counts handed in his resignation, and the Maricopa County attorney's office responded to Senate Majority Leader Alan Stephens' request that he be permanently dismissed as a defendant in a civil racketeering suit and awarded attorney's fees.

Senate special counsel Ed Hendricks said in the report to the Ethics Committee that, based on his deposition of lobbyist Allan Stanton, he had "concluded that there is insufficient credible evidence that any sitting member of the Arizona Senate acted unethically." "Therefore, we recommend that the committee not pursue this matter further," Hendricks added. And Ethics Committee Chairman Jaime Gutierrez said it is his position "that this matter is closed." Stanton was quoted in an April 1 article by The Associated Press as saying be had been present at fund raisers of lawmakers where large amounts of cash were given and that he checked campaign-finance filings later to see whether the donations were properly reported. "I aw fairly large amounts of cash," Stanton was quoted as saying in tto article. "I didn't see any indicatkjrn of it ever being reported," Stanton no id In his interview with Hendrick, however, that he had stressed during an interview with the reporter who wrote the AP article ''that we were not talking about large amounts of cash." "And I specifically spoke to him after the fact the other morning and told him that he had not re- ported me accurately and challenged him in front of others to go to his cotes and show me where be had done it because he had clearly distorted our conversation with regard to the amount of money that I was talking about," Stanton said. "We never did talk about a dollar amount, but clearly, in my mind, if we did.

it was in the vicinity of several hundred dollars at the very most" he added. Stanton denied, in response to questions from Hendricks, that he ever used the words "large amounts of cash" or "fairly large amounts of cash." He acknowledged, however, that be had told the AP that be checked campaign-finance reports after attending fund raisers in which cash was contributed and could find no indication that the donations either were or were not properly reported.
