Robarson i Selecting America’s Stamps Have you ever wondcrcd how ihe lu^ihoat came to be I'ealurcd on a stamp? Or who decided what design the “Love” stamp would lake this year? And who chose the carouse) animal stamps, the most ptipular stamps in 1988. according to a survey in Linns magazine? The answx’r to all these questions is the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee.* Composed of 14 men and women. Ihe committee's sole purpt>se is to decide what subjects will grace postage stamps. A division of the U.S. Postal Service, the seldom-recognized committee reviews more than 30.000 stamp suggestions each year fwni Ihe Am^iiclin public. “The mission of Ihe committee is to select stamps that rellect Amer ican history, people, ideals and values." explained Jim Murphy, senior philatelic programs specialist with the Kisial Service's Stamp Informa tion Branch. When postage stamps originally appeaa'd in 1847. Benjamin l-rank- lin. the nation's first postmaster general, joined presidents and senators as the only stamp subjects selected by the postmaster general. By 1871. Ihe first commemorative stamps depicting Columbus' landing and the signing of the Declaration of Independence were rcleased. The Postal Service has been deluged by special requests ever since. A selection sys tem became necessar>’. and the committee finally was formed in 19.S7. The committee meets bimonthly to discuss suggestions received through the Stamp Information Branch, the liaison between the Postal Service and the committee. Each year, 35 to 40 new stamps evolve from these ideas, most of w hich are cominemoratives. Suggestions for new stamps range fmm the importance of earmuffs to wishing Australia a happy bicentennial. One recent recommendation was a stamp displaying a pretzel on one side w iih a beer-tasting glue on the other. Another was the historical significance of the outhouse in the American frontier. “Just about anything you can possibly imagine has been recom mended to us for a stamp,** said Kim Parks, a spokesperson for the Stamp Infomiation Branch. Who are these 14 people responsible for satiating the American appe tite for creative stamps? The current committee members include a graphic designer, a Texas schiKil superintendent, a new spaper editor and Digger Phelps, the head basketball coach of Nirtre Dame. They are of ficially appointed by the postmaster general to sen e indelinile tenns. The committee prides itself on diversity and considers each idea on its own merit, steering clear of lobbying efforts. There are. of course, some standard criteria. R>r example, people depicted on stamps must have been deceased at least 10 years. Former presidents, however, are an ex ception. All events and themes must have national significance. Once an idea is accepted by the committee, the developnrent pnKcss can take up to three years. The committee's list must be approved by the postmaster general and tlie artwork selected. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also must extend its seal of appmva) before finally cm^rdi- nating the stamp's release. This year's latest stamps?

C1999 PM Editorial Serv««s Bassin* with the pros Sometimes this fall or winter you're going to encounter what most bass anglers consider the worst of all possible conditions: cold, muddy water. It's a time when even the best pros in the business think about other things they'd rather do than be fishing. "Cold, muddy water can really be tough,* laughs Johnson Outboards Pro Staff angler Randy Dearman, a Lake Uvingston, Texas, fishing guide and tournament angler who ha^ seen his share of bad conditions. *rve seen a lot • of fishermen simply'give up, put'their bofiiU on the trailer and head home when they have to fish in cold, muddy water. The first thing I recommend fishermen do is try to find some dif ferent conditions, either clear water or warmer water. Look for natural springs where the water will be war mer, or fish around a power plant discharge area, because the water will be wanner there, too. "Even rain may acutally warm the wateralittle. Ifiti8raining,look for runoff areas.* Justa few degrees of temperature change can help make bass more ac tive, says Dearman. As you move ar ound a lake, check the temperature regularly, since it will not be con-| slant throughout the lake. The clearer the water, the more channel-oriented bass become,* adds the Johnson pro. "Bass may suspend, but they may be near the bottom if the water has been cold for a long time. "One of the key areas to look for bass is where different channels, such as a tributaiy creek and a lar ger river channel intersect. Even two rreek channels can be a good spot, especially if the channels are well-defined and offer a good breakline.* Among Dearman’s favorite lures for fishing under these conditions ere jigs, spoons, and spinnerbaits. He especially likes to slow-rpll a spinnerbait over the edge of a chan nel drop, letting the lure fall as deep as 20 feet at times. "For this type of fishing I use a one-ounce spinnerbait with a single size 6 blade and with a pork trailer,* explains Dearman. "1 use a six and one-half foot medium action rod, and 15 to 20-pound test 1 ine. The im- portant thing is to stay in contact with the lure as it falls. "Strikes will usually be light, and if you feel the blade stop turning, you need to set the hook.” They moved into the house with all the enthusiasm any young couple has for their first home. As they unpacked each box, they marveled again at how much house they purchased for such a small sum, and counted their blessings that they were lucky enough to get it when ithadcomeon the market again. They’d been told that many people had lived there, but for one reason or another had moved quickly along. Military personnel had occupied it the first two times. The third family moved away when their business failed, and the fourth was a single woman who went out of state to be nearer her ail ing mother. At least that’s what they were told. The first two months in their new home were heaven. Even the chores that accompanied the redecorating were a pleasure for them. But the new wallpaper had barely dried when strange events began to happen at 101 Grayson Street. At first they took it in stride, find ing plausible reasons for everything lhatoccured. Until, that is, the thing in the bedroom. They awoke one crisp, fall morning expecting to leap out of bed to a hardy breakfast and an arduous day of raking leaves. What they found, instead, was a glistening veil of tightly spun silvery threads that extended from the ceiling to the floor on all four sides of the bed^ entombing them there. The web was woven so thickly that they could not see beyond it to the corners of the room. Their frantic move ments were restricted to the square area that the mattress itsclfoc- cupied. No amount of strength could break the threads. In sheer ter ror, they clung to each other and screamed for help. But their screams were merely echoes that bounced back from the silky tent spun around the man and his wife, encasing them as living cocoons destined for a horrible death. As if their thoughts were being read, a dark, looming presence could suddenly be detected outside the web, casting its shadow with ferocity against the silver wires that held them as its captives. Never had they know such terror. Never had they felt so helpless, as tremendous shadow inched closer to its web. Within the tomb of webbed silver could be heard its scratchy, slug gish movements drawing nearer. With bodies taunt with fear and covered in sweat, they clung to each other. They jerked in surprised unity at what sounded like an overturned bucket rolling across the polished wood floor. Together, they waited for what lay behind the web. “GEJT UP YOU TWO!” came a shout from outside as someone rapped against the window. “THESE LEAVES DON’T SELF DE- STRUCT, YOU KNOW!” And the neighbors come to help, continued to shout playful words of criticism. Instantly, the web dissolved. Like a crystalized snowflake in a fire, it was gone, along with whatever had lurked behind it. Just as quickly, the young couple fled the room. They decided not to tell anyone. They decided it was just a bad dream...one of those rare ones some scientists now say can be shared by two people as close as they, of one mind and soul. So, they went about their day, engrossed in neighborly chatter that mixed pleasantly viri^h the leaf smoke curlirig through the crisp air. That night they returned to their bed, weary and worn, and ready for a good night’s sleep. They were so tired, in fact, that when they turned out the lamp, they never even noticed the overturned paint bucket far in the corner, or the way the moon light sparkled off the silver web that was caught up in the sticky debris spilled across the floor. A strong web. Of pure silk. That inched, even then, in silent journey towards the bed. BICE THE RUnS:! DRUCS/UiEil DEAD SID Partnci sliip for a Drug-Free America.
