You have the power not to kill yourself Dr. Don Dexter, dentist at thelHS Clinic, exercises for Improved health and physical fitness. The following letter recently appeared In "Dear Abby". It ii reprinted with permission. Dear Abby, I am enclosing a "paid notice" that appeared in The Raleigh (NC) Times. Perhaps you can use it in your column. My wife and I thought it was very moving and deserved nationwide exposure. We hope you agree. Message to teenage drivers from the parent! of a deceased teenage driver: You have a power that no one else on Earth possesses. Your teachers, the police, the governor, the president none of them have this power; only you have it. This "power" is the power not to kill yourself while behind the wheel of an automobile. This "power" is the power not to kill others with the car you're driving. This "power" is the power not to be a victim of the slaughter of teenage drivers on our roadways. You've all seen the stories in the newspapers. Many of you were friends of the teenagers killed. Maybe they were speeding or passed illegally or ignored a stop sign or tried to beat a red light. You cried for them, went to their funerals, participatred at memorial services held for them at school. And then got into your car and did the same thing because it could never happen to you. We want to tell you about another group that doesn't have your "power," and that's your parents. When you leave this Earth, your parents remain behind. They are left behind to grieve over your premature death. They are also left behind to grieve for the future that youH never experience for your selfyour high school graduation, your wedding, your first child. There will never be another vaca tion where the"whole"famiIy goes on a trip. On Christmas, your par ents will decorate a little tree to put ncxttoyourccmctayrnarkCT.Thesmika around the Thanksgiving table will never be as wide. Mother's Day... Father's Day.. .your birthday.. .the first warm day of spring will always cause your parents to think of what might have been. One year ago today, we buried our teenage son, Jack. Jack was killed in an automobile accident. The accident was a direct result of ignoring the posted speed limit. Jack was a great kid, and we could not have asked for a better son. However, a lew seconds ol bad judgment, whether caused by inex perience or a sense of "teenage immortality," or both, cost Jack his life. There is no pain on this Earth that's worse than losing a child. This tragedy will haunt us for the rest of our lives. And every week more parents must face the dreaded realization that they will never see their child again on this Earth never to kiss them, never to laugh with them, never to hold them close. Never again. Last month, three local teenag ers were killed in an accident; the two brothers are buried next to Jack. When we saw these three kids lying side by side in the cemetery on Valentine's Day, we knew we had to try to do something to stop this carnage. . How successful we are will de pends on you: that means each of you exercising your unique "power" and using peer pressure to convince your friends to do likewise. If we succeed, it will mean that all these teenagers, and our son Jack, haven't died in vain. Broadcast scholarship available The Thomas R.

The exhibition, titled "Patchwork of History," features historic and contemporary motifs from the colonial era of our nation's past through the present day. Quilting is an ancient craft found all over the world, but the patch work quilt is a purely American tradition, born of sheer necessity. The first settlers who arrived here from Europe had neither time nor the tools to weave their own cloth, so every scrap became a precious commodity to be saved, patched and pieced together over and over again to make it last. . 1 he pieces in the exhibition were made or finished by the Jackson ville Museum Quilters in Jackson ville, Oregon. The group, which meets twice weekly, lovingly and expertly recreates the historic mot ifs, carefully recording the patterns on paper or by making single blocks as their ancestors did years ago when paper was in short supply. "Patchwork in History" is circu lated by Visual Arts Resources of the University of Oregon Muesum of Art, which is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Orgon Arts Commission, the Friends of the Museum, the Uni versity of Oregon and private foundations. There is no charge for admission to the exhibition. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. by Saphronia Coochise Don Dexter was chosen exer ciser of the month for February. Dexter is currently taking part in running, basketball and tennis, participating six days a week, 8-10 hours. He has maintained this schedule for two years. Dexter stated, "IVc always en joyed participting in sports and being active, but the demands of dental school took a higher priority than exercise. Dexter believes that exercising is a perfect complement to his profes sion as a dentist. His work requires fine detailed work in a small work space. Exercise allows gross move ment and exertion and seems to open his "horizon." He feels it is more relaxing than reading or doing art work, which he enjoys but are too similar to his work. Dexter is looking forward to the Kah-Nee-Ta Mini-marathon, which is a goal he just recently set for himself. Like other athletes, he has "stumbling blocks" when it comes to exercising regularly, which involves the travel requirements that are associated with his work and often interferes with a routine exercise schedule. Dexter's "secret way" of handling his stumbling blocks is packing his running shoes when he travels and occasionally taking a tennis raquet if he knows he can play a game at his travel destination. Other activities that he enjoys is coaching kids baseball and softball. He prefers to exercise with oth ers because it seems to make it more enjoyable. His wife Daniele and children Nathan, Nicole and Doni also exercise but have no regular schedule or goals. His fam ily also enjoys hitting tennis balls, since they don't acturally play the game, and they go on family walks and swimming. If Dexter had no limitation whatsoever and could do anything he really wanted to do he would be a tennis bum and play on the red clay courts of Roland Garros Sta dium in the French Open. He has a few words of wisdom about exercise he wishes to share with others. He says, "Pick an activity that you enjoy, pick a time that doesn't interfere, and just do it."
