Fish.

Today's Feature
Festival
Puts in Full Twelve Hours.
The threat of rain and gusts of
wind caused a temporary delay of the 2nd Annual
Carthage Acoustic Music Festival last Saturday. A
little after six oclock in the evening the
event was moved off the square and into the
Woodshed, causing about a thirty minute delay in
the schedule. Approximately two hundred people
relocated to the indoor facility on the west side
of the Square.
Music restarted at about 7:30
and the schedule was completed about 10:30 that
night.
Nine acts performed beginning
at 1 p.m. and held a crowd of three to four
hundred people throughout the day. A variety of
Irish, country, bluegrass, and gospel music
filled the square beginning at 10 a.m. with an
open stage. Several dozen musicians jammed on the
Courthouse lawn and were still present when the
light rain began.
The festival was sponsored by
Main Street Carthage with funding from the Helen
S. Boylan Foundation. Other considerations were
provided by the Jasper County Commission, The
City of Carthage, and the Mornin Mail. The
Exchange Club provided the concession stand.

Talkin'
Mornin',
Last Saturday had ta be
pullin into second place after the
Maple Leaf for number of activities
goin on in Carthage.
The Street, Park, and
Police Departments all were managin
to provide excellent service to several
locations durin day. Muni Park,
Kellogg Lake, Fair Acres Sports Complex,
and the Square all had a good number of
folks in addition to the regular
everday traffic. As far as I know,
there were no major problems at any of
the locations which speaks well for the
preparation by organizers and City
personnel.
Those who attended the
Acoustic Festival left the Courthouse
lawn so that it was barely noticeable on
Sunday morning that the area was utilized
as a concert hall the day before. It was
indeed, good, clean fun.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

Weekly Column
TO YOUR
GOOD HEALTH
By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have been
dizzy for six months. Things spin around. I am on
a medicine for motion sickness. It works a little
but not enough. How would you approach this
problem? N.N.
ANSWER: I would approach it by
trying to find the cause of dizziness. It is also
called vertigo. There are a dizzying number of
causes more than 20. Some are common, and
it is those that merit first consideration.
At the top of the list of
causes is a condition with the name of benign
positional vertigo. When people with this problem
move their heads, they feel as though they are on
a runaway merry-go-round. The inner ear is our
compass, and it keeps us in balance. In this
situation, particles within the inner ear have
floated into positions where they should not be.
Repositioning those particles stops dizziness.
The repositioning can be accomplished by the
doctor performing a series of head maneuvers in
the doctors office.
Menieres (main-YARZ)
disease consists of episodes of three symptoms:
dizziness, loss of hearing and a ringing in the
ears. At first, the attacks are short-lived, and
the symptoms disappear. With the passage of time,
the symptoms stay longer and longer. Medicines
and limiting salt are some ways to help people
with Menieres. There are other treatments.
