The city of Thornton, Colo., is probably abashed at the changes apparently on its detailed Drought Management wrought by Plan While thoughts do not occur at regular, predictable intervals, they are inevitable, and in Colorado, thoughts are frequent events, says the report. Then, there is this alarming observation: A study done by the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University has shown that Colorado has had five severe statewide thoughts in the past century. The most recent one ended in 1978. This news goes a long way explaining the actions of the state Legislature. Fortunately, the report concludes, most thoughts do not affect the entire state at the same time. everything make sense - spell-chec- k Web-publish- Wild horses are getting too much action on the Wyoming Alontana border, reports the Billings Gazette. It seems that mares in the Pryor Mountains herd are having babies at too young an age, and the mothers are losing 20 percent of their foals.

The campaign in a town close to affluent Aspen has inflamed some people, though a letter to the Aspen Times sounded a soupgon too indignant. It asked What kind of despicable person would make fun of someones choice of a vehicle? Its our right to consume as much of the world's resources as we can get our hands on. And if we dont have our hands on it, then we should go into the wilderness and get our hands on it or send our young men and women in the military to conquer places that do have it.

The students are scheduled to arrive in Moab July 10. After taking a days rest on July 11, they will depart on July 12. Other stops in Utah after Moab include Blanding, Hite Campground, Capital Reef National Park, Escalante, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar City. Along the 4,000-mil- e route, 20 students from Johns Hopkins and five of their friends from other colleges will stop in several big cities and small towns to spread their message by volunteering their youthful energy to local community groups, nursing homes and churches. While offering a helping hand to these groups and making presentations about cancer prevention, students will be honoring their friends and loved ones affected by the disease. The rubber met the road Sunday, June 1, as the riders departed from the universitys Homewood campus in Baltimore. The ticket to ride is $3,000, which each of the students raised by soliciting donations. The money will be used to sustain the students throughout the trip, but will primarily be put toward their goal of giving $50,000 to the American Cancer Society. The group met its $50,000 goal last year and gave the money to the American Cancer Society. Major support for the Hopkins 4K for Cancer is also coming from the Ann E. McEnroe Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund at the Institute for Science and pubHealth, a St. Louis-baselic charity. The fund is providing the riders with apparel as well as logistical support, thanks to a d state-of-the-a- strategic-allianc- e rt with the Edward Jones Co. To publicize the riders arrival in St. Louis, of their journey the as well as the Gateway to the West, the fund will sponsored an outdoor health fair at Kiener Plaza in downtown St. Louis on June 17.

Here's what some of the riders have to say about their participation Joshua Robinson, 17, of Potomac, Md , will be a freshman at Johns Hopkins in the fall. This is one of the things that I must do before I can say that Ive truly lived my life It's going to be an unforgettable in towns along adventure. By taking this extraordinary journey, we may help cancer patients live to enjoy the ordinary, everyday experiences that we take for granted Travis Snow, 19, of New Hartford, Conn. I will be dedicating my ride this year to my mother, Gayle Snow, who recently found out she had breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment including chemotherapy. If there is a bright side to the story it is that her prognosis is very good because she caught it early, thanks to a self test kit she received from the American Cancer Society. Im so glad that I can honor my mom by doing the Hopkins 4K this summer. Babak Nazer, 21, of Bellevue, Wash. Hell attend Harvard Medical School in the fall. As an aspiring physician. I hope to do all I can to ease the burden for patients, and the rest of their families, all of whom are affected by the disease. However, only re- search can lead to a definitive cure. Hopefully, the money raised by Hopkins 4K and other programs that join us in the fight against cancer can help provide the valuable research funding which wall lead to a cure.
