He launched the most successful program of its time and spoke in Washington, D.C. and other sites around the country during his career. Many facilities are mirrored on these beginnings. His first love for years was golf. which consumed much of his life.

After Nettye's death in 1980, he grew restless and resigned from the Work Release Program in 1984. He moved to Depot Bay, OR in 1990, where he lived before moving to Phoenix, AZ in 1999. Ray was a member of the Northwest Community Church in Phoenix, AZ. These last years he came to know the true peace that only comes in knowing Jesus. We spent these last years sharing the truth the Scriptures hold, the hope in being a believer.

We are blessed in knowing that he is with Jesus. He left a proud legacy. Today he wanted each of his children and their families to know how much he loved them. He wanted all of us to know the peace and the assurance that he is eternally resting in the joy of Heaven. Memorial contributions may be made to Northwest Community Church Benevolence Fund.

The National Parks Conservation Association again named Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas as well as five national parks: Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee; Joshua Tree in California; Shenandoah in Virginia; Everglades in Florida; and Yellowstone in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. The group said air pollution threatens many of the parks.

In addition, it said there: are problems with private land sales and potential oil and gas drilling in Big Thicket; development along park borders in Joshua Tree; non-native species damage in Shenandoah; management and funding questions in the Everglades; and lack of money and bison slaughters in Yellowstone. Thomas Kiernan, the association's president, said the main problem is the annual $600 million shortfall for operating needs in the National Park Service's $2.3 billion budget. Park Service spokeswoman Elaine Sevy said the association's interest in parks is appreciated. "We'll look at what they have to say, and see how it compares with what our research is showing, and with how we're addressing many of the issues they raise," she said. The group had three new places and one program on its list this year: Biscayne National Park in Florida, due to overfishing and water pollution.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona, from lack of money for protecting plants and wildlife. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Preserve in Alaska, because of land scarred from ATV use and potential road-building. National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program, cited for inadequate money for preserving the history of slavery and the civil rights movement. IN MEMORIAM Terryski Myers Palmer March 25, 1950 January 14, 1998 "Life is, in fact, a battle.

Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places; people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of night; we wake up to it again for ever and ever; we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it." -Henry James Your memory lives on forever and forever.

6. The trend in communication that this transit brings on is somewhat reserved. Don't expect anyone to spell out the instructions, introduce you to the chain of command, or tell you which channels you need to go through to make things happen. Remain observant, and you'll learn what to do. Aries (March 21-April 19).

You're quite intuitive, but being too judgmental is a danger. Try not to analyze every piece of information your imagination produces. The afternoon brings surprise phone calls and happy coincidental meetings. Taurus (April 20-May 20). You're bristling with bright ideas.

Write them down so you can develop them into something tangible enough to present. A Libra or Leo will help with this endeavor. A relationship may be going through a transformation, but don't worry. Gemini (May 21-June 21). When you say "no" to one project.

another one becomes even more lucrative. A puzzling romantic situation is more clear when you bounce some ideas off of friends. New love plays it low key but is truly crazy for you.

Once Dear Annie: Many of the women at my office were on edge when we read the letter from "Miserable in Boston," whose husband refused to help around the house or with the children. That column was the topic of the day. I lived with a man who did absolutely nothing for 13 years. After we divorced, he insisted he'd learned what I needed and asked for a second chance to rekindle our marriage. For six months things were great, but now, I am once again dealing with the "lazy husband." We both have full-time jobs, and on many occasions, I come home from work to find everyone waiting for me to cook and clean up.

Why are women expected to do everything? Come on, Annie, can't you give us a little more help than 1 that? The women in the office are Anxiously Awaiting Dear Anxious: Sorry if we let you down. We'll try again. A lot of men assume the women in their lives will do everything, and surprisingly, many women accommodate them, willingly or not. You have to tell your husband what you want and not expect him to read your mind. Some wives resent this.

They think Hubby should know what needs to be done and do it without being asked. This is unrealistic and impractical, and builds resentment. Here are other useful ideas: Dear Annie: As a retired Joe Brooks, 83, Fruita, died Jan. 12, 2004, in St. Mary's Hospital.

At his request, cremation has taken place and private family services will be held. Mr. Brooks was a retired warehouseman for Gary Refinery. Survivors include his wife, Pat; one son, Jack F.

Kohler was a retired mining engineer. Survivors include his wife, Marian one son, John W. of Grand Junction; one daughter, Mark K. Kohler-Crocker of Grand you've resolved the issues at hand, your mind is free to do some quick thinking that puts you miles ahead of the competition. Leo (July 23-Aug.

22). There's a fly in the ointment at work. Though others are gullible and perhaps not looking out for trouble, you cannot be fooled by even the most crafty individual. Just keep your powers of observation turned up. Today's birthday (January 14).

In this year of renewal, your old energy comes back, and when you combine that with your new sense of purpose, goals are quickly attained. Victory next month contributes greatly to your bottom line. Keep adding to your savings until a major purchase is possible. You'll be described as calm, mature and sexy on the hot list for more than one. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 22, 19, 53 and 17.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Enjoy duty if that's possible not taking it too seriously helps! Imaginative ideas make you want to go a little crazy with the spending stick to the budget. Children need time one on one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've got to spend it to make it, and this is a terrific day to stretch the dollar. Purchases are lucky, especially if related to transportation.

On the other hand, worrying about Annie's Mailbox ADVICE TO YOU professional counselor, I'd like to reply to "Miserable." She may not understand that men communicate differently from women, and some women are real sticklers for how they want things done (compulsive is a term that comes to mind). It might be that "Miserable" has inadvertently trained her husband to leave the housework alone. A good approach might be for her to ask lovingly if he would perform a specific chore. Say, "Sweetheart, I really could use a hand getting the kids ready for bed. Would you bathe them tonight, please?" Granted, her husband should not have to be reminded, but a reminder can be turned into sweet talk, and most men respond better to that.

Male Counselor in Louisiana Dear Annie: My husband was the only son of an adoring mother, raised during the days of stayat home moms. After years of nagging, I decided to take action. I work until 7 p.m., so I told him dinner was his responsibility. The next night, when he asked what was for dinner, I said, "I'm having oatmeal. You may have whatever you like." It was the beginning of a new partnership.

I no longer feel out of control, I don't nag, and I can give my husband affection without resentment.

21). It's been said that opportunities are never lost. Someone will take the ones you miss. This is true this morning, SO keep your eyes peeled. This evening, spend some time with one who has good influence over you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You accommodate the hard-toplease somebody. But this person may not really know how to be happy and may be throwing up obstacles for you just so he or she can stay in that comfortable state of misery.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A lackadaisical cloud casts fuzzy, diffused light that makes everyone look good in your eyes. You don't mind two discussions on silly topics, and you might even decide that these dalliances are super creative.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are too many cooks in the kitchen for sure. It's nice that your special project is so appealing that everyone wants to help, but delegating too much will rob you of the joy of doing it yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You say that you are flexible, but you must admit that part of you is fixed to your current path. If you ask for advice, you'll get it and won't be the least inclined to follow it. Stop looking for validation, and just do it your way.

mistake many years ago of trying to be Superwoman. I told him he didn't do the laundry right, so he quit doing it. I told him he didn't wash the dishes right, so he stopped washing. I have two solutions that might help: 1. Make a worksheet of all of the household chores (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually).

Have a column for each member of the family. Pass the worksheet to your husband and children, and let each person choose a chore until all chores are accounted for (don't let Hubby choose all the quarterly and annual ones you can get the oil changed, too). 2. This is my personal favorite. When your husband comes home from work after you, be in the middle of mopping the floor AND cleaning the bathroom.

Tell him you must finish both before making dinner, and ask him which one he wants to do so you can start cooking. Works every time!
