He said the show can be offensive if they aren't careful, so they have to be careful to watch with words they choose. Even with the mishaps, Goff said the students trans- fer ideas well. Some students are native Spanish speakers, some learned on missions and more learned in high school. The director speaks Portuguese. "It's amazing how easily the students transfer from English to Spanish because some of them, it's not their native language," Goff said. Because the students are working so far in advance and in so many countries, they can't get too local in their coverage or too new. "Because it's going internationally, we can't really do Provo weather," Goff said. Students try to create a link between BYU and the Latin American audience by providing BYU news, musical performances, interviews and Latin American cooking tips. "We figured everyone eats and even one's got to love international cuisine," Golf said, Saul Leal, the station manager for BYU Television International, said anions focus' groups, 1 lie show has been a hit.

Molina wants to work for the TV networks when he graduates and his work on "Vent ana al Mundo" is just the sort of work he did as an intern at "The Today Show." Goff said the show gives studgflfs an opportunity to "&tfthe shots and learn what it takes to really get a show off the ground. "I think they are learning everything from point A to point Z what it takes to put a show together," Goff said.: Utah Valley State College also has a Spanish newscast, airing on screens across its campus, on the UVSC channel (channel 17) and on Comcast OnDemand.

PUBLIC LOG I Ricin Beach, Calif., Reno, the San Diego area and a pickup truck camper near Salt Lake City. He moved in recent months to an extended stay motel several blocks off the Las Vegas Strip. A younger brother, Erich Bergendorff of Escondido, Calif., said hospital officials told him Wednesday that his brother was awake and had been told that his beloved dog, Angel, was euthanized after the Humane Society found her starving and without water in his motel room. Authorities suspect Bergendorff was exposed to ricin, and experts have said his symptoms appeared consistent with ricin exposure. The poison breaks down in the body within days, however, making it difficult to trace. Before Friday authorities had variously described gendorf f as comatose and unconscious. Family members said he was sedated when they visited him Feb. 23. Erich Bergendorff said Roger was moved Wednesday from intensive to intermediate care in the critical ward of Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center. Erich Bergendorff said his brother was receiving dialysis for failing kidneys, and might still be on a ventilator to help him breathe. While Roger Bergendorff had appeared down on his luck and deeply saddened by the death of his older brother in January, family members say he was not suicidal. Documents relating to two warrants, obtained Feb. 27 and Feb. 29, were made public when they were filed Wednesday with Las Vegas Justice Court. Police told a Las Vegas judge they were "still looking for any additional locations or devices in which the agent (ricin) could be made without detection." The only things police reported finding in Bergendorff's 1999 Buick Century were two pieces of mail addressed to him, two folders of compact discs and two pawn slips. ca," Leal said.

Wooley said he gave up his career as an engineer to chase his passion for the opals of his homeland. Called black mulga opals, they are not black at all but rather a brilliant array of yellow, red, blue, and green with occasional lines of glittering darkness. "Australian opals are the oldest known in the world and therefore the most stable," he said. "The black opal is the most sought after." Gas station owners have up to $1 million in LUST funds available to them for cleanup costs. About 80 percent of owners in Utah participate in the LUST fund, with the rest having some form of commercial insurance, said Therron Blatter of the DEQ. Last summer, 20,000 gallons of gasoline leaked underground from a Top Stop gas station in Gunnison, fouling parts of three city tanks and having a proposal ready by next month. Marx said there are precautions in place if leaking tanks are a threat to the area. He said if groundwater is contaminated, residents are immediately notified, even if it means going to tell them. Finding the leaking tanks takes watchful residents, devices called leak detectors and "honest" owners of underground storage tanks. Marx said the high price When tanks do leak, the state has its LUST leaking underground storage tank fund. Gasoline providers pay into it as a kind of insurance policy to help with cleanup costs when they are needed. The fund was created in the 1990s by the Utah Legislature. The state requires blocks. Two lawsuits have owners of leaking tanks to hire a consultant, clean up been filed in 6th District Court against Top Stop's the mess and then apply for LUST funds as a form of parent company, Wind River Petroleum. lost. door-to-do- I Associated Press writer Allison Hoffman in San Diego contributed to this report. . iy:M ter question about his display of Australian opals, "We own our own mines in Continued from Bl SE w :l III " WHiiiiHi stones.
