THE WEEK IN BRIEF:
Great Northern won't sell (yet)
d. cole jeweleps
Great Northern Nekooska Corp. has rejected a $3.18 billion
takeover bid made Oct. 30 by Georgia-Pacific Corp., which has
said it will continue to pursue Great Northern. Environmentalists
fear that Georgia-Pacific would sell off key parcels of Great
Northern's 2.1 million acres of Maine wilderness in order to
finance the deal. Great Northern's East Millinocket mill is a major
supplier of newsprint to New England publishers - including

Phone workers get insurance
Nearly 500 Portland phone workers who have been on strike
since August 6 may be back at work soon. They are among 60,000
NYNEX workers who struck over the regional phone company's
decision to stop providing cost-free heal th insurance. Bu t on Nov.
13, the company agreed to provide that insurance.
David Paul, president of Local 2327 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, said that Mainers still must address
some local issues such as work rules that govern day-to-day
operations. But Paul expects those issues to be ironed out soon and
for phone workers to be back by the end of November.

Pro-choice protestors marched along the Atlantic to Walker's Point.

Pro-choice forces readying for 1990
"Forty years ago, I walked down a dark hallway and up those dark stairs and into a dark room
where I had that abortion," said Polly Bergen to
2,500 women and men ga thered in Kennebunk on
Sunday, Nov. 12.
" ... and I was left sterile," concluded the actress.
The crowd of pro-choice activists were gathered at The First Parish Unitarian Church for a
sunrise candlelight vigil and march. The protest
was one of 150 "Mobilization Day" events held
across the nation in a day-long response to the
U.S. Supreme Court's July 3 "Webster v. Missouri" ruling, which broadened state control of
abortion rights.
"Here at dawn, we kindle our own thousand
points of light - to say that we will never again
accept the darkness of back alley despair, never
return to the dark ages of pain and abuse," said
Kate Michelman, executive director of the National Abortion Rights Action League.
Later that morning, about 2,000 protestors
marched the two and a half miles to President
Bush's summer home on Walker's Point as part of
a national "wake-up call" to the President.
"We're all here to tell George that he waffled on
the abortion issue and he's going to pay for it, "
explained Katherine Applegate, of Portland.
Outraged by Bush's move from the pro-choice to
anti-abortion contingent, Applegate carried a sign:
"One-Term George."
"We're here today to tell George Bush,hislarge
family and the Congressmen and state legislators
of Maine that if you are notin touch with the prochoice majority in November, you will be out of
office," said Betsy Sweet, spokesperson for the
Maine Choice Coalition.
Sally, a 69-year-old woman from Machias,
drove five hours south to carry her banner: "Pro
Choice means Equal Rights for Women." For
Sally, anti-abortion slogans are anti-woman
symbols. "To quote Mary Daly," she said, " 'If
men could conceive children, abortion would be
a sacrament. ' Women are peopIe." M Le C I

Water district splashed with fine
The City of Portland let David "Dogman"
Koplow off the hook but won't give up his dogs.
City officials said Koplow's dogs will be
adopted - but won't say where the dogs are now,
if they've been adopted yet or who might have
adopted them. A group of Portlanders thinks that
violates Maine's Freedom of Access to Information law (FOATI), which makes public records
available for public scrutiny.
City Attorney David Lourie thinks records
concerning the dogs should be kept from the
public because the Dogman or his supporters
would contact new owners of the dogs and try to
get the dogs back. "The Freedom of Access to
Information law was meant to be read liberally,"
Lourie said.
But Michael Parker,a Portland lawyer with the
Maine Civil Liberties Union, said that "exceptions to the FOATI law should be construed very
narrowly." Parker added that "I'm not aware of
any statute that says adoption to animals should
be excepted."
"David Lourie wants to conduct the city's
business behind closed doors," said Charles
Jacques, director of the Icarus Project, a prison
reform group that relies on the FOATI law to get
records revealing how prisoners are treated and
if they are moved from one facility to another.
'The FOATI act was passed to shed light on the
workings of the government," Jacques said, "and
to enable us to call them into question when they
are inappropriate."
Jacques wrote to Lourie on Nov. 3 demanding,
under the FOATI law, to know if and where the
dogs have been placed with new owners. Lourie
flatly refused Jacques request.
Then, on Nov. 9, Portland officials leashed the
Dogman. In Cumberland County Superior Court,
the city agreed to drop charges against Koplow if
he does not get arrested again for six months.
Those charges stem from the Oct. 1 seizure of
Koplow's dogs by Portland Police, during which
Koplow allegedly shoved a police officer. It was
the second time in two months the dogs had been
taken away after Koplow refused to obey the
leash law. The Nov. 9 deal was supported by
Lourie and Police Chief Michael Chitwood, both
of whom had shunned District Attorney Paul
Aranson for dropping similar charges against
Koplow in August.
Jacques said that leaning off the Dogrnan now
is a clever way for the city to keep information
about the dogs from the public because the Dogman's case will now be "pending" until May 9,
and information about pending cases isnot public
information. Jacques said he will again demand
information about the dogs on May 9.
But by that time the six dogs will likely be
settled into new homes, wagging the dogfight
between Koplow and the city to a draw. But
Lourie was not so sure: "I'm sure this saga has not
yet ended," he said.

The Portland Water District has agreed pay the state a $140,000
fine for releasing untreated sewage into Casco Bay. The district
won't have to pay $100,000 of the fine if it finishes $8 million of
improvements to it's wastewater treatment sy~tem by Mar~h ~1,
1991. For violating its wastewater dIscharge hcense, the dlstnct
also will have to kick in $25,000 to help the city build rest rooms
at East End Beach, where water samples have suggested that
sunbathers are taking more than just a dip in the water.

Snow to be dumped in Back Cove
Portland can continue dumping plowed snow into the Back
Cove but will have to test the environmental impact of doing it.
State and federal laws prohibit dumping snow into a river, lake,
or ocean unless there's no place else to put it. The city, which
claims there is no site in Portland that has room for all the snow
removed from city streets, has been dumping snow into the cove
since 1970.
•
Philip Garwood, an environmental specialist with the Department of Environmental Protection, said snow contains salt, lead,
litter, broken curbing, plastics,oil and grease which pollute water.
The DEP has required Portland to search for new snow-dump
sites on land. The city also must analyze the contents of plowed
snow and the relative impact on water quality in the cove and
report those findings to the DEP by Aug. 31, 1990.
Deeds Dude loses 008 election
Former Cumberland County Register of Deeds James J. Walsh
failed at his attempt to make a political comeback in Old Orchard
Beach on Nov. 7. Walsh was running for one of five seats on the
town council, but finished twelfth in the race. The only person
running who got fewer votes than Walsh was \'Yalter Membrino,
who had recently been arrested on sex charges. Walsh got the boot
from Cumberland County on Feb. 28 after he had not shown up
to work for nine months.
WEIRD NEWS:
orIn New York City, two men at a crowded movie complex in
the Bronx got into an argument over who was first in a popcorn
line. One of the men told the other he was going out to his car to
get a gun. The other man said go ahead, got his popcorn and went
into the movie theater. The first man returned to the theater, found
a seat, then spotted the second man and challenged him. Both men
stood up and started shooting at each other. The first man fired
one shot but missed.The second man fired twice, hitting the first
man in the head and killing him.
orThe Mesquite Lake Resource Recovery Project in California's
Imperial Valley is the world's first power plant fired by cow
manure. By recovering fuel from the 400,000 cattle in nearby
feedlots, the 1s-megawatt plant burns about 900 tons of manure
a day and saves about 300 barrels of oil a day. Ash from the plant
is sold as a concrete additive and an absorbent for toxic wastes.

Announcing
The Smith House
4-Week, Intensive, Non-Residential
Treatment Program for
CO-DEPENDENCY

that were addictive, abusive or dysfunctional in some way.
People with co-<iependency often have low self-esteem,
feel that they have "hit bottom" in their lives, and
experience relarionships in which their needs are nor met These patterns of living were caused by adapting to the
dysfunction in the family - the behavior becomes
unconscious and automatic.
Smith House can help: participants learn
about co-<iependency, and begin the lifelong process of
recovering from co-<iependency. They learn to replace
feelings of anger, depression and anxiety with feelings of
joy, well-being and contentment.
For more information or an appointment,
please call Smith House today.

CIRCDUTION MANAGER
Steve Addario
CIRCUUnON
Steve Addarlo Is a cake decorator at Uncle
Andy's In South Portland. Steve's forte Is
doing portraits of people In frosting. At the
Cumberland County Civic Center on Nov. 9,
Steve gave Kenny Rogers and Eddie Rabbit a
cake that had their portraits frosted on the
top.
Yes, I once taught art in Junior High School.
And I paint a little bit.
How did you get Into cakes?
In 1984 I was working in the Department of
Human Services and it was not a creative job at all.
I had decorated cakes for friends and they said the
decorating was good. I took this job because I
thought it would be a good way to use my creative
abilities and get some pleasure out of working.
This job is just about all creative.
Have you done the portraits In frosting
since you started?
No, I started out doing pretty much basic cakes
with the roses on them. Then I started doing scenes
taking little plastic figurines and putting them on
cakes. That was okay, but it was still just plastic on
cake.
But then I got into making cake sculptures. You
cut up a cake and put it back together in a certain
shape and frost over it. They're a lot of fun to do. I
didn't start doing the pictures until a year ago

How does It work?
I use an air brush - which is a little air compressor gun - to spray liquid coloring on the frosting .
By adjusting the pressure on the gun I can get
really heavy shading or fine lines.
Do you work from a photograph?
Yes, all the portraits are from photographs.
Could you do a cake from a live model?
I haven't attempted it yet, but it is something I
intend to do some day.

The details. There are steps to doing this where I

Bad boys,
Rod noise
and big
business.
(OYEI STOIY by Hilary McComb Nangle
Snow boarders are the bad boys of the ski
slopes. Or so some would tell you. But snowboarders and their fans argue that much of the
negative impression is due to misconception
and ignorance .a bout the sport - and they seem
to be proving their point.

Part of snowboarding's bad image is due to
the age group that's identified with the sport.
Paul Brown, Ski School Director at Sugarloaf /
USA, says the majority of snowboarders are
teenage boys. "I think it's an identity thing.
They don't feel like skiing with little sis, or
mom and dad. They're
searching for their identity
and want to be different,
wear wild clothes, hang
out. It's the current rage."
"I remember what it was
like to be 12, 13, 14 and
dropped off (at the ski
area)," says a Ski Patrol
Director, who, because he
works for a major New
England Resort, refused to
be named. "Skiing used to
be a sport of etiquette, like
tennis, where McEnroe is the bad boy because
his behavior is out of the realm of what's
accepted. Now there's too much freedom and
no respect. You shouldn't have to look over
your shoulder when you ski."
The perception that snowboarders are
reckless and out of control is a common one hence the Ski Patroler's worry about watching
his backside. In fact, a beginning or out-ofcontrol skier is much more dangerous than a
beginning or out-of-control snowboarder.
"When a snowboarder loses his balance he falls
down," says Brown. "When a skier loses his
balance, he's an unguided projectile." Most
agree that the hazards of the sport are self-inflicted - going too close to trees, catching air in
places that aren't safe. These are the same
hazards of skiing.
Another myth is that snowboarders scrape
off all the snow when turning. This one makes
Tony Lauritano, a snowboard instructor at
Sugarloaf/USA, laugh: "I can carve a tum as
well as any skier on the mountain. Granted
beginners do a lot of sliding around. So do
beginning skiers. Snow loss is 50/50 between
the two."
There is one negative aspect of the sport that
no one can argue with: the noise. It's disruptive
to skiers and can scare novices. "Snowboarding
took the quiet out of skiing," says the nameless
Ski Patrol Director. Skiers used to be able to
enjoy the fresh air, and hear the birds. Now all
you hear is the snowboards. You hear it from
the lifts, even from the parking lot. It's a
sentimental drawback. Listen the next time
you're out skjing, he says. You'll hear what I'm
saying. "
The other noise is the lingo. Not only are
snowboarders known for their brightly pat-
terned clothing and punk hairstyles, they also
seem to speak a different language. "Rad"
"Shred" "Rocket tweaking" "Method air" "Bail
out" and" Aggro" are all snowboard lingo.
But then, haven' t teenagers always had a
language of their own? Attitudes are what it's
all about with teenagers, says Pam Frothingham, a retailer in Stratton, Vt., "What they want
to ride and wear all comes from the next age
group up; it's just as trendy as the ski market."
These kids want to be perceived as "leading the
wave in owning co,ol equipment and appareL"
Rad boom
No one can argue with the growing popularity of the sport. Jake Burton, president of Burton
Snowboards and the founding father of the
sport, estimates that there will be between
110,000 and 140,000 snowboards sold in North
America during the 1989-1990 season. According to TransWorid Snowboarding Magazine,
there will be approximately 400,000 snowboarders this season, up from 250,000 last
season. The magazine cites a 100 percent annual
growth rate, calling snowboarding, "the fastest
growing segment of tJ:te winter sports industry." Paul Alden, president of the North American Snowboarding Association, says, 'The
number of participants has doubled every year
and shows absolutely no signs of slowing
down."
To the outsider, a snowboard appears to be
an elongated skateboard without the wheels.
Both feet are attached to the board with bindings that buckle around the ankles. These bindings are mounted on the boards at an angle, so
snowboarders resemble surfers when coming
down the slopes. The objective is to "shred"
(crisscross down the slope with speed and
precision) and "cop air" (jump into the air) off
the "winter waves" (moguls or bumps of
snow).
Because of snowboarding's resemblance to
skateboarding and surfing, that's where most of
the growth has come from. Says Burton, "50
percent of new people coming into the sport
\
Tara Eberhard "Catches Air" at Stratton
Mountain, Vermont.
Photo/Hubert Schriebl
have never skied; the other 50 percent are crossover skiers. Those who have skied before are
predominantly younger and have been skateboarders, surfboarders or bicycle motor-cross
riders."
According to Tony Lauritano, the 17-year old
Sugarloaf/USA instructor who competes in the
World Cup circuit, "Most skateboarders that
live in the vicinity of a mountain will try it at
least once in their life. The kids around here
(Farmington) are really getting into it this year.
They're buying boards, talking about it and
really getting excited."
But Lauritano feels that snowboarding's only
real similarity to skateboarding is the sideways
stance. After that the sport differs in two major
ways. First, the weighting and unweighting: if
you used the same technique in both sports,
you'd fall down a lot. Second, on a skateboard,
the technique is based upon using the wheels to
maneuver: on a snowboard, you use an edge.
Also, notes Lauritano, there isn't a binding on a
skateboard. Nothing prohibits you. It's a really
weird difference for first time cross-overs, he
says.
"First the 'skateboard rats' got into snowboarding," says Gil de la Roza, marketing
manager for International Snowboard Magazine. "Then came the surfers and now it's
skiers, patrollers, instructors and others who
consider themselves well-rounded winter
sports people."
New tune
And those new recruits are changing the
sport's image. Says Burton, "While the sport
still is most popular among teens from ages 1123, snowboarding is becoming more and more
attractive to people in their late 20s and 30s."
Recognizing the growing popularity of the
sport, the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) began certifying snowboarding
instructors last year. Even NAST AR races now
permit snowboarding.
And the number of females participating in
the sport is growing, rising from 15 percent in
1988 to 25 percent in 1989. Says Burton,
"Women are getting into snowboarding in
droves; strength is no longer the issue, technique is the key." Lauritano sees this as a real
benefit. It should lay to rest the negative image
of the 15- to 20-year-old reckless male.
But the growing acceptance of the sport by
the ski areas themselves is the major factor in its
improving image. Last season 400 out of 560 ski
resorts in the United States - 71 percent - welcomed snowboarders, according to International Snowboard Magazine. This is up from a
mere 40 areas in 1985. Most snowboarding
sources predict an acceptance rate of more than
80 percent this season. The holdouts are primarily smaller areas that don't have the space to
give up to the sport.
Sugarloaf began accepting the sport three
years ago. It's a family resort, and according to
Brown, the management recognized that
snowboarding helped families with teenagers
keep skiing together. From a resort operators
point of view, this is the biggest benefit of the
sport. "If we didn't permit snowboarding,
families would take their vacations elsewhere."
The 'Go crazy' a tti tude is disappearing as
snowboarding becomes more refined, like
skiing. Brown finds that, for the most part,
snowboarders are fairly courteous. He thinks
they realize that to be allowed to snowboard on
the ski slopes is a privilege. When Lauritano
and his friends receive nasty comments, they
just ignore them. They believe that more skiers
accept snowboarders than don' t. To return the
name-calling is just to stoop to the level of this
minOrity. What these people need is to be
educated about the sport.
As skiers began to recognize and accept
snowboarding on their slopes, more and more .
became curious about trying it. Says Paul
Johnston, vice president of Stratton Mountain in
Vermont, "This sport is maturing in every
way ... what we see now is that many of our
older skiers are getting into it. .. and more
guests are trying it every week." Sugarloaf was
overwhelmed at the interest in snowboarding
during last year's Christmas week. Brown
brought in seven snowboard instructors to deal
with the demand.
Europeans have especially embraced the
sport. The annual growth rate there is 120
percent, and, according to Brown, last year
snowboards and mono-skis outsold skis.
"Europeans got into snowboarding at a point
when the sport was beginning to mature," says
de la Roza. "They didn't go through the painful
beginnings like we did in the USA. As a result,
most ski areas in Europe let boarders use the
lifts from the beginning."
"There's less and less controversy surrounding the sport," concludes Brown. "It's not going
to die away. It's here to stay." The only question remaining is whether it will be allowed to
reach its full potential in the United States.
"We let the Europeans take away the sport of
sailboarding; the sport that was invented here,
had roots and a surf image," says Burton. "It
has many qualities that snowboarding has.
Snowboarding is a new sport; let's show the
world we can develop a new sport and keep it
where it was born."

snowboarding last winter and liked it. She wiU continue to

Charity events
The Maine Handicapped Ski-a-thon at
Sunday River in Newry, Maine, gives you the
opportunity to win valuable ski travel and
equipment prizes. This annual five person team
event is the largest single day fund raising event
in the state of Maine. Each team must raise a
minimum of $500 but, says program director
Paula Wheeler, "We ask them to set a goal of
$2500." Last year 300 participants raised
$149,000 to support the Maine Handicapped
Skiing program. Pledges are based on the
number of runs or vertical transport feet skied
in one day. The grand prize winning team
receives a week's ski vacation in Vail, Colorado.
Each team raising $2500 is eligible for a drawing for a ski trip to Mount Sainte Anne in
Quebec. Teams also vie for free weekends,
including lodging and lift tickets, at Sunday
River. Skis and bindings are awarded to the top
fundraiser in each category, i.e.: schools,
financial institutions, ski clubs, etc. Interested?

smoothly. Help is needed on the hill, at the
touring center, in hospitality, and in the
kitchen. "What we need most," says Nancy
Marshall at Sugarloaf, "is huggers to hug the
competitors as they cross the finish line." The
Maine Special Olympics are scheduled at
Sugarloaf January 28 to 30. (Contact: Sugarloaf
Ski Club 207-2:37-2457).
If you can donate at least one day every
week or two, than Maine Handicapped Skiing.
based at Sunday River, could use your help,
and will reward you with lift privileges. Maine
Handicapped Skiing teaches physically challenged people to ski. Volunteer instructors,
intermediate skiers or better, are needed
throughout the ten-week program. Instructors
take a two-day training program in December,
then teach one day every week, or whatever
their schedule allows. Volunteers are also
needed to drive snowmobiles, take photographs, and help in the office. You'll receive a
lift ticket on each day you volunteer, and
another one, fully transferable, for use another
time. (contact: Paula Wheeler: 207-824-2187).

John's old college friend Graham have one thing on their mind: sex. The
greatness behind the movie rests "?t
only in the film Itself, but more so In
what happens to those who view it after
they leave the theater. It enoourages
honest dialogue gently - without big
issues, gaudy special eHects or a cast
01 thousands.

MORE+
concerned with the gloomy, philosophical and suicidal. He feels
indebted to such artists as Edvard Munch and Fransisco Goya,
painters of the hidden, psychological and even grotesque.
"Raw Sewage," on the other hand, is a much brighter work
from 1979. About energy and vitality, it conveys life through
dance. Hultberg says is was inspired by Stravinky's "Rites of
S:,ring."
Hultberg's love for perspective and the figurative is easy to recognize in his work. But these ideas are not common to Abstract ExpressiOnism, and perhaps this is why he was never embraced by
that school. He enjoys pulling the viewer back into space via gridlike patterns. It is the figurative that Hultberg has never been able
to leave behind. He reworks his paintings to bring something out
of what isn't there, most often a human figure or an animal. For
this he admits to being heavily influenced by Surrealism and particularly Joan Miro and Andre Masson - although he calls these
figures "sculptures" and claims they are abou t gesture and human
tragedy.
"[ feel [ have something of my own," says Hultberg, whose
work has remained consistent during the past 40 years. "(Something) that r can continue with and make deeper. Instead of
moving horizontally with a different technique -like science - I
would go deep into it the wayan artist or composer would, the
way Beethoven would later in his life, rather than launch into
discovery. The great composers weren'tveryexperimentaI: Mozart,
Bach."
Hultberg is, however, entering a new phase in his career. Supplemental to the paintings in the exhibition, and included only by
chance, are several small watercolors done on sketch paper. They
are similar to the work he has done in the past - surrealistic meaning he is enjoying splashing paint onto the paper. Similar to
the Rorschach test used in psychoanalysis, they draw out figures
and the text to tell a story, but they are also quite lively and fun,
about discovery. Hultberg likes this new medium because it
allows him to work fast. He has done more than 200 of these
during the last month, and plans to keep doing more, making
them larger. Translating the watercolors to canvas he will rework
them as acrylic pieces. He finds that if he reworks a piece too long
it runs the risk of becoming static, but with watercolor this may
not be possible.
This new direction may take :-Iultberg, who has lived in Maine
since 1983, back to the world scene. He is reluctant to change the
style to which he owes his fame; but he isalsoa fighter- and these
new works in watercolor serve to add an energetiC dimension to
the artist's career.
John Hultberg calls "Hometown" above, the world's shortest
poem. His 1948 painting entitled "Fresno" is the earliest piece in
a 40-year retrospective of work from the artist's own collection,
now on view through December 14 at the Area Gallery at the
University of Southern Maine. Additional works by the artist are
on view at Gallery 127 on Middle Street, Portland.
Renowned asa painter, Hultberg finds poetry and music more
interesting than painting, which he says he undertook out of
laziness.
"I was going to go to Berkeley," he explains, "then I decided to
become an artist. 1 thought it would be an easier life than being a
scholar. 1 was feeling a little bit lazy in those years and [liked the
artist's life."
The artist's life came quickly to Hultberg. He began painting
seriously at the California School of Fine Arts after service in the
Navy during WWII. There he worked with Clyfford Still and
Mark Rothko in an abstract vein, as styles were moving away from
Social Realism toward avant-garde expressionism. In 1946, he
moved to New York to be at the center of contemporary art,
entering the ArtStudents League, He was thrust suddenly into the
public eye in 1955 when he won the Corcoran Biennial, and his
work has been exhibited internationally since then.
But his fame of the '50s and '60s has not lingered, and today his
name often goes unrecOgnized. It is both humorous and frustrating to him that he is cited in all the Who's Who in Art books, but
cannot obtain a credit card; that he receives grants forfunding, but
has a hard time selling his work.
His style may have been his downfall. Influenced by his time in
California and New York, Hultberg's work bears witness to the
influences of Surrealism and Abstract ExpresSionism. But his
work is unique and very much his own. It is a juxtaposition of
ideas representative of his life. He admits to being very confused.
He is fascinated and angry that the artist is an outsider in this
SOCiety.
These feelings are clear in his paintings. "Earthwoman," a
recent piece from 1986-89, is representative. The large (12 by 8
feet), dramatic painting was done with the intention of creating
pure energy in a world where everything is complex. The landscape is brought to life by the profiles of three naked women. Two
describe a mountain and the third isdisguised as a cloud floating
in the sky. Woven into the heap are several color spectrums to add
light and "pep up" the otherwise earthly scene. Critics were not
receptive to this work - they thought it too corny - but it describes
much of what Hultberg feels, is interested in, and is influenced by. Leslie Morison was trying to write the world's longest poem, but she decided
He likes art that takes a chance and is even silly, but he is also to write about painting out of laziness.

MAKETIIE
TEST!
Try a bottle or two of
Miche10b Dry and then
drink your favorite im-
L
ported beer. You
will find Michelob Dry is an exciting new drinking experience.
Of all the football
stadiums in America today, did you
ever
wonder
which one is the
oldest! ... Answer is
Harvard Stadium
which was the first
concrete football stadium built
in the United States .. .Itopened
in 1903. Michelob Dry is a
super-premium dry beer
with a unique new taste.
Can you imagine a football
team not being able to complete a touchdown pass all
season!. .. Did you know this
actually happened? .. .The
Pittsburgh Steelers of 1945
set this record by playing all
that year without
completing
a
touchdown pass!
That is why we
know - one taste
and you'll drink
it dry. Here's an
oddity ... Although
quarterbacks are
suppose to be the
smartest football
players, oddly
enough, of all the
head coaches in the National
Football League today, only
one played quarterback in
pro balJ ... The only former pro
football quarterback who
coaches in pro ball was Norm
Van Brocklin of Atlanta. Beer
is a good part of the good
life - drink responsiblyl
