I didn't stop them, but now they burn it 6 inches in heigth, as opposed to 3 to 5 feet in heigth. Until I can figure out how to stop it altogether, I had to settle for this, Like you so far I haven't got what I want, but also like you I haven't gave up. Hang in there Cris, you never know what the FINAL outcome will be. Good Luck, and God Bless Jack E. Briles Sr. Po Box 444 New Albany, Floyd Co. In. 47151-0444 E-mail jb502000@aol.com

The BCGS wish to thank Holly Jenks, John & Micki Walters for helping to make our workshop a success. Many of the guests walked away happy with all the advise given. While Holly gave her presentation we passed around a sign up paper for those interested in helping start a county wide preservation group. A little over 20 people wrote down their names. Now we will take our second big step later this month and get this group started up. Cindy L.
