I don't know what Puxatawny
Phil discovered on Groundhog Day
in Pennsylvania, but any of the lit-
tle critters who poked their noses
out of their nests in Kentucky on
February 2nd, definitely saw their
shadows. Legend has it, that means
we're in for at least another month
of winter weather. If legend proves
true, we could need lots of good
reading on hand. A little fast-paced
action and adventure might do the
trick.
If you enjoy winter weather,
you'll find lots more of it in Louis
L'Amour's Last of the Breed. It
takes you back to the 1980s and
Soviet Russia, where U.S. Air
Force Major Joseph "Joe Mack"
Makatozi, a Native American pilot,
is forced down, captured, and
escapes into the wilds of Siberia,
where he has to live by his wits, as
he makes his way toward the
"Bering Straights and finds a way
-home. The publishers say this book
"is a stunning appreciation of the
; unspoiled majesty and treachery of
;the Siberian land of the Native
• American character, who must tri-
i umph over it." My brother, a for-
mer Green Beret, and I both read
this one a few years ago and loved
it.
, Clive Cussler's Valhalla Rising
is a mix of myth, legend and pres-
: ent-day technology, with the action
set in 2003, when a luxury liner
sinks and Dirk Pitt is sent to rescue

surwvors and find out why. Seems
that he, and others, are in for some
eye-opening surprises, to say the
least.
Robert Ludlum is known for his
conspiracy-based action adven-
tures, among which is the story of
Jason Bourne, which starts with
The Bourne Identity and continues
with The Bourne Supremacy,
which is the one we'll deal with
here. Jason Bourne was an assassin
feared around the world. The thing
is, he wasn't real. He was made up
in order to find the real killer,
Carlos the Jackal. The Bourne
Supremacy begins with worldwide
consternation at Jason Bourne's
supposed return from the dead and
an expected impending reign of ter-
ror. Some powerful people know he
never existed, some are thoroughly
convinced that he did, but was sup-
posed to be dead, and now, nobody
knows what to think. The poor pro-
fessor who played the part of Jason,
is dragged back into the fray and
the action is pretty much non-stop
from there on.
Another author known for his
action adventures, though his are
more technical as a general rule, is
Tom Clancy. If you like series
adventures, but with books that
stand on their own, those that fea-
ture Jack Ryan can' be beat. He
shows up first in The Hunt for Red
_Q.c.Ig.E, was next seen in Patriot
Games, went on to the Cardinal of
the Kremlin...Clear and Present
...The Sum of All Fears...
Debt of Honor...and Executive
Orders. I've read all these and
enjoyed them, but I understand that
there are two newer than I haven't
read yet. Jack has another starring
role in The Be and the Dragon,
released in 2000, and a supporting
role in Red Rabbit, released in
2002, when he is younger. The
character of Jack has been played
on the silver screen by Harrison
Ford, Alec Baldwin and, more
recently, Ben Affieck.
If you prefer large print books,
check out Alton Gransky.'s
Vanished, in which retired Navy
Captain J.D. Stanton is called out
of retirement to investigate the dis-
appearance of the people of an
entire town. "Food on dinner
plates, gas nozzles still in cars at
filling stations...whatever happened
took these people completely by
surprise. But took them where?"
asks the publishers. You'll presum-
ably find out in this second J.D.
Stanton mystery.
Kids are not only being turned
on to reading by Harry Potter, there
are now Graphic novels, that are,
according to Children's Librarian
Ginger Kincaid, "The hottest thing
sweeping libraries across the
nation, and have increased circula-
tion of everything on library
shelves." Graphic novels (stand-
alone stories in comic form, pub-
lished as books), are pretty popular
with adults, too, since they are the
rown-up version of comic books.
mdn those you can find on Bath
County's shelves are The Very Best
of Spiderman. sci-fi action adven-
ture from Marvel Comics, and
BONE. Out From Boneville by Jeff

The National Association of In-
dustrial Technology (NAIT) issued
its letter for the program, December
6, granting re-accreditation status
through November 1,2008. The de-
cision was based on NAIT's site visit
to the Department of Industrial Edu:
cation and Technology in April, ac-
cording to Dr. Ahmad Zargari, de-
partment chair.
"To maintain our accreditation, is
an indication of high-quality pro-
grams," he said. "To even be accred-
ited in the first place, you have to
have quality programs, and it is due
to the collaboration of our faculty,
staff and administrators, that we have
earned this."
During the site visit, the depart-
ment had to meet 62 standards set by
NAIT, which is the premiere profes-
sional association and accrediting
agency of Industrial Technology pro-
grams in the U.S. Based in Ann Ar-
bor, Michigan, it is supported and
endorsed by the Council for Higher
Education Accreditation (CHEA)
and the Association for Specialized
Professional Accreditors (ASPA).
NAIT accredits 107 program options
in 51 educational institutions: Dr.
Zargari said ...... ; a lh;hl yh;:,
MSU's Industrial .Educal and
Technology Department currently
offers tbur technology options for
baccalaureate degree students: con-
struction/mining; electrical/electron-
ics; computer-aided graphic design
(formerly graphic communications
technology); and manufacturing/ro-
botics. Completing MSU's degree
requirements in this career area, rath-
er than at other institutions, saves
students a big step once they have
finished their studies, according to
Dr. Zargari.
"Because we are accredited, our
graduates automatically become
Certified Industrial Technologists
(CITs)," he said. "Ifa program is not
accredited, they have to take a sepa-
rate exam before being certified."

MSU's Industrial Technology pro-
grams is available by calling the de-
partment, at 1-606-783-2013.
