Tony Polumbo, who serves a Harris County precinct, offers e offenders a break on their sentences if they cut their long teen-ag- locks. "The purpose is to give these kids a different mind-sor image, try to get them away from the subculture and into the mainstream again," Polumbo said. "About 80 percent accept my offer. ' ' with ';' In the case of a a pony tail, Polumbo fined him et $430 for assaulting a youth to get into a gang. The agreed to convert the fine to 80 hours of community service and then had 15 hours lopped off when he lopped off his ponytail. Other teens wouldn't part with their hair. "It looks better long this way," said a gang member sentenced to 144 community service hours for disorderly conduct at school. Polumbo left his job as a state representative after 16 years to beof the peace three come a justice years ago. He prides himself on being unconventional. "When you deal with youngsters, you can't deal with normal," he said. "Our goal is to connect. Most kids are used to being beat on and using their unfortunate situations to act ugly. I try something different." The haircuts aren't his only answer to crime among youths. Other unusual sentences include assigning teens who speed to attend five funerals and putting offenders on teen courts to see the other side of the justice system. Canadian distributors refuse to sell Detriot papers covering murder case A CanadiDETROIT (AP) an ban on coverage of a sensa- tional torture-murd- er case prompted at least three Canadian distributors to refuse to sell The Detroit News and Free Press, e which carried a story on the case. "It'll be suicide to sell it," said Tim Quinn of Lake Ontario Distributors, one of the indedistribupendent Ontario-base- d tors who refused to sell the Sunday edition of the News. "Niagara Falls, Ontario, police told me they'll be watching all night for trucks," he said. "They said they would confiscate the papers and arrest the front-pag- driver." But Detroit Newspapers, which oversees operations of The Detroit News and Free Press, said it sent papers over the border without trouble. Canadian distributors refused to sell them or removed the front section to avoid arrest, the News reported today. The case involves a couple accused of kidnapping teen-ag- e girls, performing sex acts and then torturing and killing them. The wife has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a pica bargain. Ontario Justice Francis Ko- - vacs has blocked the public and foreign media from his courtroom in St. Catharines, Ontario, under a law that allows judges to order a virtual blackout on trial coverage in an attempt to ensure a fair trial. He also has restricted the coverage of Canadian journalists. The News carried a Washington Post story on Karla Homol-ka'- s case and the upcoming murder trial of her husband, Paul Teale, 29. The story was based on interviews with people knowledgeable about what was said in court and on limited press reports. A Canadian edition of The Buffalo News didn't contain the Washington Post story, editor Murray Light said, but many Canadians went to Buffalo to buy the U.S. edition with the article. It was the same story in the Detroit area. "All these cars with Ontario plates were out (here when I pulled up this morning, waiting for me to open the door because of the article," said sales clerk Deborah Willis at Millendcr Center Pharmacy near tunnel. the Some Canadians trying to take the papers back home were stopped by police at the border. Detroit-Winds- or 1 clr clr clr clr "This media ban is a joke," Kevin Hodges of St. Catharines, Ontario, said after he was held for 40 minutes and forced to hand over three copies of the Buffalo News. Homolka, 23, was sentenced last summer to 12 years in prison on two counts of manslaughter for her role in deaths of two teenage girls. Her husband awaits trial on first-degr- ee murder charges in the slayings and on other charges, including the rapes of 1 7 other women. Homolka has filed for divorce and is expected to testify against her husband. As part of her plea bargain, prosecutors read a long statement of facts agreed to by the defense, but the litany of rapes and tortures can't be published until after a verdict in Tcale's case, the judge ruled. Christina Bradford, managing editor at The Detroit News, said the case was of interest because of Detroit's proximity to Canada. About 24,000 copies of the Sunday edition, which combines reports from Detroit's two major newspapers, are sold each week in Ontario. . "To deprive our readers of a story to satisfy the Canadian government's laws does not make sense," she said. to 1 inches mainly mountains. Lows in the 30s. Tuesday mostly cloudy. Rain likely.

Hubble family hopes for the best in shuttle mission to repair telescope By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -Don't blame the Hubbies for the Hubble Space Telescope's bad eyesight and other woes. Or the Hubbells, Hubbels, Hubels or Hu-ble- Most s. of all, don't blame Edwin P. Hubble, the astronomer for whom the telescope is named. He died 40 years ago. "That's like blaming George Washington if the Washington Monument started tilting," said Clifton Hubbell, president of the Hubbell Family Historical Society. Hubbell, 73, a sixth cousin of Edwin Hubble who lives in Downers Grove, 111., can't wait for the 500-memb- er Hubble Space Telescope to be fixed so he doesn't have to listen to any more Hubble jokes. Space shuttle Endeavour was scheduled to blast off at 4:57 a.m. EST Wednesday with seven astronauts and 1 1 telescope parts. The countdown for the 11 day repair mission began Sunday. NASA plans a record five space-walk- s to fix Hubble, seven if necessary. Four spacewalkers will go out in pairs to install corrective camera, lenses, a new wide-fiel- d new solar panels, new gyroscopes, -- new magnetometers, a new computer and more. That's what it takes to correct the $1.6 billion telescope's nearsightedness and replace failed or failing parts. The telescope has been in orbit Vh years and has 1 1 Vi years of work remaining. Nearly 200 family members of and of other various Hubble their distances, supporting the concept that the universe originated about IS billion years ago in a cosmic explosion known as the Big Bang. He died in 1953 at age 63. His closest living relative, sister Betsy Hubble, 88, of El Paso, is ailing but knows about the mission. So do many of the approximately 5,500 Hubbies, Hubbells, Hubbels, Hubels and Hubles in North America, who claim to be were spellings of the name present when space shuttle Discovery blasted off with the telescope in Endescendants of April 1990.
