Show Page A4 - THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, Wednesday, October 24, 1990 Quake closes roads to Yosemite LEE VINING, Calif. (AP) Three of the four roads into -- Yo- semite National Park remained closed today after a strong earthquake triggered rockslides that blocked traffic lanes. No injuries were immediately reported. g The quake late Tuesday was felt from San Francisco to Nevada, shaking up casinos and hotels in South Lake Tahoe and Reno. The quake struck at 11:15 p.m. Tuesday and measured a preliminary 5.8 on the Richter scale, said Pat Jorgenson, spokeswoman for the U.S. Geological Survey. It was centered in this Sierra Nevada town of 400 people just east of Yosemite and about 190 miles northwest of San Francisco, Jorgenson said. "It was a rolling, strong jolt and wide-rangin- lasted about 25 seconds," said Robin Bergmann, a resident of Mante-c- a, about 120 miles from Lee Vin-ing. Two highways into Yosemite from the west and one highway the into the park from the east were closed by Tioga Pass road rockslides, said Darlene Hales, a park dispatcher. The park remained open, with access via a highway from the south. "We had lots of calls but no reports of injury," said Mono County Sheriff's Deputy Suzanne Sturdi-van- t, who said the quake lasted about 45 seconds. Elaine West, a telephone operator at Caesar's in South Lake Tahoe, said the quake left "a lot of frightened guests" at the hotel and casino.

Strep is frequently thought of as the cause of strep throat. But in rare cases it can cause extremely serious infections, such as the pneumonia that killed Muppets creator Jim Henson in biology May. Three years ago, researchers began to talk of toxic shock caused by strep, not the staph bacteria linked to tampon use. Toxic shock is characterized by low blood pressure, rash, peeling skin and multi-orga- n infections. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and in Pima County, Ariz., studied 128 cases of group-strep infections in 10 hospitals in the Tucson area from 1985 to 1990. None of the 54 cases from 1985 to 1987 resembled toxic shock syndrome. But six of the 74 infections studied from 1988 to 1990 did. A wins suit against Penthouse Ex-mod- el Penthouse NEW YORK (AP) Bob Guc-cion- e and magazine have been ordered to pay more than $4 million to a former Pet of the Year who said she was forced to perform hard-cor- e sex acts and sleep with two Guccione associates. "Sexual slavery was not part of her job description," Supreme Court Justice Elliott Wilk said in finding that the magazine publisher made sexual demands on Marjorie Thoreson as a condition of employment at Penthouse, where she worked from 1973 to 1980. His "cold and calculating ... use of sexual coercion forced her to safeguard her employment by sacrificing her body," the judge said Tuesday. Thoreson, 37, testified during the 1989 trial that Guccions forced her to perform hard-cor- e sex acts in a pornographic movie. Senate rejects change for spotted owl - A Senate WASHINGTON (AP) showdown over the threatened northern spotted owl turned into a debate over the future of the Pacific Northwest's oldest forests and a vote of confidence in the Endangered Species Act. "The owl is an indicator species. As it goes, so goes the forest," Sen. Albert Gore Jr., said Tuesday night. 4 On a vote, the Senate rejected an attempt to circumvent the Endangered Species Act so Northwest logging could continue 62-3- regardless of the impact on the rare bird. Republican senators in Oregon and Washington pushed the plan to help soften the economic blow on communities expected to be hit hard by dramatic reductions in timber harvests as a result of federally mandated protection of the owl. Gore and Senate Majority Leader led the George Mitchell, charge against Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood's amendment to the Interior appropriations bill. Prosecutor: Salcido methodical killer REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) -- prosecutor summarizing his case against accused murderer Ramon Salcido portrayed the winery worker as a methodical killer who bandaged his own finger while slashing his victims' throats. Salcido was lucid when he slashed the throats of his three daughters, left them to die at a dump, then pondered killing more of his family, prosecutor Peter Bumerts told the jury in final arguments Tuesday. "Before he even leaves the A dump, he's thinking about his next victims," Bumerts told the San Mateo Superior Court jury. Salcido, 29, has admitted killing seven people, including six family members, during the April 1989 wine country rampage. Defense attorney Marteen Miller argued that Salcido was incapacitated by mental problems, drugs and alcohol at the time of the slayings. Miller asked jurors to "have the courage" to convict Salcido of less e than murder. first-degre- Weather clinking around, and that's how the girls in the gift shop knew about it," she said.

Since then, Humphrey has been spotted in the ocean near San Francisco every August or September. Biologists identify him through tail markings that show a unique pattern, like a fingerprint. On Tuesday, he drew a crowd of thousands to a cove near Candlestick Park where he lay beached beside rocks bearing a sign. Marine biologists, veterinarians and Coast Guardsmen nudged splashed him with buckets of water, towed him with a harness and used an air compressor to suck mud from below him. "Essentially we were trying to tease him off that mud rock," said Frank Griffith of the Marine Mammal Center. "There's no amount of human beings that you could put out there to push him off like you'd push a car down the street. If he's stuck on the bottom by mud suction, you couldn't move him unless he puts some effort into moving himself."
