ROSENTHAL Coleman wins lawsuit By The Associated Press - SANTA MONICA, Calif. Former "Diffrent Strokes" child star Gary Coleman was awarded nearly $1.3 million by a judge who ruled Coleman's parents and business adviser skimmed some of his earnings. Coleman, 25, had sued his parents, Willie and Edmonia Coleman of Zion, 111., and his adviser Anita De Thomas in 1989. Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki ruled in his favor Tuesday. The former child star's disputes with his parents is far from over. His parents petitioned in 1989 to appoint a conservator over their son's financial and health needs. Coleman, who suffers from kidney problems that stunted his growth, won that case and sued them for malicious litigation. The elder Colemans and Ms. De Thomas countersued for defamation.

"I'm sure the end result will benefit the citizens tremendously." Holweg said she would like task force members to participate in meetings the council will have with the Utah League of Cities and Towns to learn more about the role of the council and the administration and how to keep them separate. Butler said the committee will try to conduct its study independently. "I think we can be more objective with our report back to you if we shy away from your input," Butler said.

It was an unexpected cost overflow, they say. At a congressional hearing into the expensive toilet Tuesday, one congressman likened NASA brass to the Marx Brothers and another asked why someone wasn't fired over the $15.2 million cost overrun. The toilet, a new design to accommodate shuttle passengers on the flights of the future, was flown for the first time in January on the shuttle Endeavour. It was a success, but the members of the House space subcommittee were unhappy that the $8.2 million original cost estimate nearly tripled. "Here we are looking down the drain of NASA's snazzy new space toilet and if you look closely down there, you see the hefty sum of long-durati- $23.4 million," said Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, the panel's ranking minority member. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, complained that "we've got a screw-u- p that cost the taxpayers millions and nobody got fired. " Officials of Rockwell International, the shuttle builder and contractor for the toilet, and Hamilton Standard, which built it on a subcontract, admitted they underestimated what the toilet would cost to that engineering analysis of the system was incomplete. "The original Hamilton dard system design was complex, consisting of more automation than was prudent," Minor said. "This 'toilet' has 4,000 parts, versus 85 in the toilet in my home. We anticipated 175 drawings would be required; the actual number was 500," said Frederick K. Morris, a Hamilton Standard vice president. rock-throwi- u, that in 1980, the Utah State Retirement System trust fund was worth SI billion. In 1989 it had grown to S4 billion, for a 400 percent increase in less than 10 years. He demonstrated how little of the retirement fund it would take to make the system equitable, saying the retirees are only asking for a small piece a fair share of that success. Other speakers at the rally were retired educator Ken Weight, Springville, and Blaine Kay, Bob Bowcn and Jim Riley, retired public employees. Several legislators also spoke to the group. Kay told the group their leaders would be at a legislative hearing the following morning on House Bill 253, which deals with the issue of equity in retirement benefits. establishes legislative intent to have equity in the retiree ment system, makes a state appropriation of SI. 5 million to fund phascd-i- n equity for the first year, and provides that additional funding will depend on interest earnings of the investments of the trust fund.
