One example, he said, i8 boaters failing to use orange flags when a skier is down. Law enforcement has increased its presence on the lake, and Stine said that has been useful. That helps a lot he said. I really appreciate law enforcements effort to put time and effort into patrolling this water. In the end, it all boils down to the mentality of the operator, Stine said.

Before you take off and go boating, you need to know the laws, Stine said.

Its just like when you drive a car. Kids dont know those laws. Were putting a 14-year-old on something that goes 65 mph, and he doesn know any of the rules. Thats just not a safe situation. Stine described the bill as an education bill, and said that education never hurts.

The more educated you get a person on a jet ski, the better off were going to be. A major reason that Stine said there is a problem is that there is such a limited amount of water for so large a number of watercraft. This is one of the few places people can come, he said. We have nice sand beaches, and skiing is ideal. Accidents have been known to happen at the lakes, Stine said.

Most people are careless, he said. Theres been quite a few accidents. About two years ago, a jet ski hit a pickup parked on a WISH: Youth CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 queen of the race.

'Suggested retail pries Tbdays Newspaper I have lost that one, Chambers said. My war, such as it is, is with the governor and not my colleagues. Chambers had angry words for the governor shortly after the veto was announced, calling Johanns perfidious. Chambers had said earlier in the week he would not attend the final day of the legislative session. But.

after the governors veto, Chambers appeared Thursday saying he had changed his mind. In the end no vote was taken on the moratorium issue. The motion to override it was withdrawn. But the veto of another bill (LB76A), which provided the $160,000 for the study, was overridden on a 43-0 vote. Johanns, a first-term Republican governor and devout Catholic, said he did not let politics or religion play a role in his decision to veto the moratorium bill.

At a news conference after the Legislature adjourned, Johanns said he hopes the study will be unbiased. Miss Brackney, a 15-year-old freshman, said there are times when the horror of the massacre unexpectedly assails her. One month ago, I was wondering where my friend was. Its hard, but its getting better, she said. The lives of all four were turned upside down when students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold stormed Columbine with guns and bombs, fatally shooting 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves.

As the Columbine students marked the one-month anniversary, another school shooting in Conyers, reopened their wounds. The May 20 attack at Heritage High School injured six students. How could someone see all the tears and emotion and try to copycat this? asked freshman Katie Crona, 14. Tm angry someone else had to go through the same experience we did. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 Gov.

Mike Johanns on Wednesday vetoed the bill (LB76) that would have called for a study in conjunction with a moratorium. He called it poor public policy and possibly unconstitutional. Sen. Kermit Brashear of Omaha urged his colleagues to examine the issue over the summer and fall so a thoughtful discussion about the death penalty can occur in coming legislative sessions. I believe we have raised the issue in the consciousness of the people, Brashear said.

A conservative Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Brashear came up with the moratorium idea. He attached it to a bill introduced by Chambers that originally would have abolished the. death penalty. Chambers, an Independent and the most senior member of the Legislature, worked with Brashear to win approval for the moratori- umbill. I am not going to re-fight the moratorium issue because; LITTLETON, Colo.

(AP) Michael Shoels still cries before he goes to bed at night. Kacey Brackney has stopped looking for friends who are no longer alive. Vickie DeHoff just took up ironing again. Life is moving on, slowly, for the students and the families of those touched by the Columbine High School massacre. Its up and down, said Shoels, who lost his son, Isaiah, in the shooting.

Im not going to say Tm not hurting. Vickie DeHoff, whose sophomore daughter Krysti was one of the last students rescued, is trying to get life back on track. Last night, I laughed for the first time. Today, Im doing the ironing for the first time since the shooting, she said. For her 16-year-old daughter, the trauma has persisted.

Her mother said Miss DeHoff sat in a car for hours and could not easily go back to classes at a nearby high school after the April 20 attack Its never over. It never will be over, the teen said. 4 I In remembrance of the courageous men and women who gave their lives to defend our freedom, we take this opportunity to encourage you to join us in saluting these Great American Heroes this Memorial Day. raUKlQED At SKIAIPQD. 2170 N.
