GUEST COLUMNIST on living through sept. iith. in new vork ciTf W tm m R mm SEPTEMBER anniversary of terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. One-ye- : ' 2.v t- rcio - - Tower residents will observe three minutes of silence before an interfaith prayer at Daley Plaza. In New York, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was scheduled to lead a long line of people reading the victims' names in alphabetical order. Others include Secretary of State Colin Powell, actor Robert De Niro and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. A ceremony at the Pentagon, where 189 people were killed, including five hijackers, will begin at 9:30 a.m., and include a moment of silence, the Pledge of Allegiance and musical selections by military bands. Thousands were expected to gather Wednesday in the Pennsylvania field where the fourth hijacked plane crashed. Nearly 500 friends and relatives of victims of United Airlines Flight 93 privately shared their grief and memories at the crash site Tuesday. Wednesday's ceremony at 10:06 a.m., the time of the plane crash, will includes a moment of silence and a reading of the 40 victims' names as bells are tolled. Ceremonies nationwide were to rely on symbolism and historical references. Barbara Minervino, who lost her husband, is not going to New York City's ceremony but said keeping speeches out of the anniversary remembrances was a good idea. "There arc no words, really, that anyone can say, that would heal the heart, that would change the NKW YORK The nation will remember last Sept. n mostly in silence, with few sounds other than bells tolling, military jets roaring in tribute and the reading of victims" names. At the World Trade Center, felled by two of the four hijacked jetliners, family members and dignitaries will read the names of the 2,8oi dead and missrecitaing Wednesday morning, an tion to begin and end with moments of silence and include readings of the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address. The city's remembrance was to begin with a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., when the first plane hit the trade center and end just before 10:30 a.m., when the second tower collapsed. A wall etched with the names of the dead and missing was unveiled Tuesday at a new ground zero viewing stand. The wall will eventually extend around the perimeter of the trade center site. Cities across the country were to fall silent for moments in the morning and throughout the day. In Los Angeles, houses of worship were asked to ring bells at 5:46 a.m., followed by a moment of silence. A ceremony was planned at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which marks what had been the worst act of terrorism on American soil. In Chicago, home to the nation's tallest building the Sears hour-and-a-ha- C ci lf moment, so silence is probably best," Minervino said. But Mary Beth Norton, a professor of history at Cornell University, said: "Wordless ceremonies or repeating things written in the past strike me as a statement that we're almost not up to commemorating an event of this magnitude properly." President Bush will visit all three disaster sites Wednesday, traveling from the Pentagon to Pennsylvania to New York's ground zero. Bush will address the nation Wednesday night from Ellis Island, with another symbol the Statue of Liberty as his backdrop. He hopes it will remind "America ag"ain of our moral calling, our higher purpose as the beacon of liberty and freedom for people around the world," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. Anniversary planning came as the Bush administration on Tuesday raised the terror alert for the first time to code orange, signaling a high danger of attack. Officials said the alert was prompted by specific and credible threats to American embassies overseas. "We are not recommending that events be canceled," Attorney General John Ashcroft said. He said the government asks Americans to "mark the anniversary with heightened awareness of their environment and the activities occurring around them." wiXt Four Teens Die in Efforts to Paralyze Minority Office Al Qaeda Working Opens to Doubts Auto Accident LOGAN The trial for Cody Lynn Nielsen has been postponed for more than three months. A three week trial for Nielsen, charged with capital murder in the disappearance and death of Trisha Autry of Hyrum, was scheduled to start Oct. 8 in First District Judge Clint Jud-kiapproved a new starting date of Jan. 28, and moved the trial to Brigham City. Nielsen was walking with crutches. Defense attorney Shannon Demler told the judge his client has been suffering from an infection in his leg that required surgery, and he has been confined to the infirmary at the Utah State Prison. Demler argues his client's medical problem has made it difficult for him to meet with Nielsen.

Business Manager Accountant Sales Support The Agriculture Department opened a new office Tuesday to help minority farmers with their loans, but black farmers say the move fails to address their complaints that the agency discriminates against them. "This new office is just one of many examples of how this department is strengthening programs that serve these constituents," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said. The new office operates under the department's Farm Service Agency WASHINGTON and provides minority farmers with a e telephone number to call if have they questions about their loan applications. The department is shuffling money in its budget to fund the office. Gary Grant, president of the Black toll-fre- Farmers & Agriculturalists Associa- tion, groaned when he learned of the announcement and said the agency is pulling a political stunt to appear as though it's addressing black farmers' complaints. 17.0 Train Derailment Negligent Mother Has 80 Death Toll Gets 8 Years in Jail .

Plans to cut off financing of terrorist groups, begun by President Bush following last year's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, are making substantial progress, but more needs to be done, the department said in a report. "Our goal is to bankrupt their institutions and beggar their bombers," the report said. "We are off to a good start but it is a long obstacle-fille- d road ahead. We will not relent." While the report didn't spell out what those obstacles are, Treasury officials have said one of the challenges is trying to track money flowing through nontraditional financial channels, such as trading in diamonds or gold.

One car plunged 300 feet into a river and two others hung strucperilously from the colonial-er- a ture. The Rajdhani Express, a luxury air conditioned train, became a pile of twisted metal minutes after it derailed on the bridge in Bihar state Monday night. Besides the at least 80 confirmed deaths, authorities said more than 170 passengers were injured. K.K. Saxena, a top railway official in the region, told reporters one of the train cars remained to be searched and workers were using cutting torches to open it "My foot is trapped. I can't move it. Please take me out or I will die," a trapped passenger could be heard to plead as rescuers worked to open the car. am 1ST CALGARY, Alberta A woman who left her two young children to starve in an empty apartment while she partied with her boyfriend was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison. Rie Fujii, 24, pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this year. A Japanese citizen living illegally in Canada, Fujii was expected to be deported after serving her time. Fujii showed little emotion when Justice Peter Martin announced her sentence and never looked at her parents, who traveled from Japan to attend the hearing. Martin said Fujii was depressed and suffered from a personality disorder, enabling her to deceive herself that the children could manage without her. But he said that she was aware that leaving her children was dooming them to death. "These children had the sad misfortune to be born to a mother who could not care for them and a father who would not," Martin said.
