Polish paper closes its doors in Philadelphia Associated Press PHILADELPHIA More content to have her father's creation die than see it exploited, the publisher of the Philadelphia area's only Polish-language newspaper has shut it down.

Gertrude Nowaczyk, 75, said she never considered selling the Polish Star, which her father, Stephen Nowaczyk, began publishing in 1902. She is single, with no heirs to carry on the family publishing tradition. "I didn't want the Star to become political, or be used by politicians to politically exploit Polish people," she said Thursday. "So I folded my newspaper. It's better this way." Nowaczyk said she is folding the paper in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section because of her ill health.

Every Thursday for the past 83 years, the Star known as "Gwiazda" in the Polish language has been written, edited, printed and distributed from the same three-story brick row building. "We never missed an edition, not even during World War II, when newsprint, like everything else, was rationed," Nowaczyk said.

Joel Myers was fascinated by the weather at age 5. At 11, he realized others were too and that's why today millions of Americans turn on their radios or television sets to hear: "Good Morning, this is Joe Sobel and here's the Accu-Weather forecast" or "This is Elliot Abrams with the Accu-Weather forecast." The private forecasting service Myers founded broadcasts over 1,000 forecasts a day across the United States and Canada. "One-hundred and forty million Americans know of Accu-Weather," Myers, 45, likes to say. But bankers in Moscow and traders in London also know of Accu-Weather. Through the more than 90 screens of text a day Accu-Weather forecasters feed to Reuters, the private British news agency, customers in 88 countries can access weather information that might affect the coffee-growing regions of Colombia, wheat areas of the Ukraine or North Sea conditions that could delay the arrival of an oil tanker to the Rotterdam port.

"The weather is probably the biggest factor in affecting agricultural commodities," Myers explains. The approximately 250 customers of Accu-Weather's special "snow warning service," including cities, school districts, utility companies, and at least one state transportation department, use their information to ready the plows for anticipated blizzards or as a guide when to close schools, or keep them open, because of the weather. Accu-Weather, which began with a "bread and butter" clientele of ski resorts in the mid 1960s, now claims a total of 700 different customers, from newspapers to nuclear power plants. Anyone with a home computer who subscribes to database information services, such as the Dow Jones Retrieval Service or The Source, can also receive Accu-Weather information. Forecasters, technicians, computer scientists and graphic artists 120 employees in all keep Accu-Weather churning out the predictions round-the-clock from the small, red-brick building near the Pennsylvania State University that looks more like a house from the outside than a weather empire.

Accu-Weather's staff meteorologists, almost all of whom hold degrees in the science, analyze weather information from the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, as well as the Canadian weather service and from 140 countries around the world. They engage in "consensus forecasting," gathering four times each day in the map room to discuss weather conditions, debate approaching patterns and decide on how the forecasts should read, or sound, for various regions. Though the hours are often crazy, for most of the 53 meteorologists the work is a passion, says Sobel. They are "totally in awe of the atmosphere and what it does." Myers received his Ph.D.

in meteorology from Pehn State, taught it for 19 years and was a practicing forecaster until two years ago. "I got interested in the weather when I was 5 yeiars old," Myers said in a recent interview. "I was fascinated by the snow in Philadelphia." 1 In his early teens, Myers recalls how he used up at 5:30 a.m. to listen to his weather-band radio and take in about 30 different broadcasts before school. He listened carefully to what was going on and reached the point where he could sometimes "out-forecast the government," he says.

Not much has changed. "There are many situations in which we differ with the National Weather Service and in the majority of those we're right," Myers says. Predictably, the government begs to differ. 1 The science of meterology is such that there, will "always be variances in the judgments Richard Wagoner, chief of the operations division 'of the National Weather Service in Washington, D. Those variances are "simple questions of meteorological judgment." Although a private company, Accu-Weather attempts to offer an alternative source of information to that put out by the National Weather Senyice-through its general forecasts, while still tailoring Jofe-' casts to the needs of its customers.

For the most part that's fine with the Natiqnal' Weather Service. -Itl "The only place we ever get into a problem iflv Accu-Weather is in the area of warnings," jayi Wagoner. "You cannot afford to have multiple sourcef-warnings in general because the public doesn't how to react to that," Wagoner said. Accu-Weather says it does not make weather warn-" ings, only weather statements, that it passes government's official warning while reserving the-right to comment on it, and that it will issue its owni statement when deemed necessary in the absence6f one from the national service.

New Jersey Trivia finds a following the American Red Cross.

Wh'ri i's she?" Answer: Bordentown native Clara Barton. The game also tells players that tomatoes are New Jersey's largest crop and that Thomas Edison is its most esteemed inventor. Several school districts are using the game to make learning about the state fun for students, said Kathy Gallaher of the New Jersey Education Association. "I don't know how widespread the use of the game is in schools, but I do know they're using it. It's a natural to get students interested in learning," she said.

"We knew some people would have a good time with it, but we really can't believe how popular it's been." Irwin and four members of her staff started out with a list of 100 questions. But the demand was so great for more little-known facts about New Jersey that the library prepared another 100. Currently, the society offers the typewritten package of 200 questions for $3 and is in the process of developing additional material.

The list includes such questions as: "What singer from Hoboken got his start on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour in 1936?" Answer: Frank Sinatra.

For New Jersey residents who don't know the Garden State's largest crop or its most famous inventor, the state Historical Society has the answers in its version of the new national pastime, Trivial Pursuit. Since the historical society developed New Jersey Trivia last year, schools have picked up the list of 200 questions as a teaching tool, and plans are in the works to publish the questions in a paperback book. Barbara Irwin, the society's library director, said the response to the game was unexpected.
