Show Idaho House Kills Bill To Teach Creationism Dcnni I The Salt Lake Tribune, Hank ketehain Menace In Friday, February 7, 1986 ; A9 Hired Assassin? I By Quane Kenyon Associated Press Writer BOISE The heavily Republican Idaho House on Thursday defeated a bill to require public schools to teach creationism after a parade of lawmakers contended that the proposal was unconstitutional. The vote was against the legislation, with 36 Republicans joining all 17 of the chambers Democrats on the winning side. Last year, the bill had been defeated in committee. Religion is not involved. All we ask is an option," said the bills sponsor, Rep. Preston Brlmhall. "There are two theories on creation, and both ought to be given a hearing. Brimhall maintained that public school students are exposed only to the theory of evolution, and need to be informed about the theory that God created humankind. I dont consider that my children and grandchildren are descendants of apes or fish or any species except the human race, he said. disA dozen other lawmakers agreed, saying Brimhall's proposal violated constitutional provisions separating church and state, and would only draw the state into massive and costly lawsuits. Rep. Pam Bengson, who like Brim-ha- ll is a Republican, said the Idaho bill is nearly identical to a Louisiana statute struck down by federal courts. She said the Louisiana attorney generals office said that it cost taxpayers $600,000 in legal fees to defend the law, and that the plaintiffs fighting the law presented a claim for an 53-3- 1 . Bundys Appeals additional $1.2 million in legal fees. Rep. Jeanne Givens, a member of the Coeur dAlene Indian tribe, appeared on the House floor in a traditional Indian beaded dress. Just as my dress is different than yours today, so are my beliefs in creation," said Givens, a Democrat. She said that since many groups have different ideas on creation, it would be impossible to agree on how to teach the theory in public schools. It is a very sensitive, volatile issue that should be discussed in the home and not in the schools, she said. But Brimhall called the issue one of academic freedom. Our children have a right to hear it, he said. There is nothing wrong with using the word religion. There is no wall between church and state, said Brimhall. You cant separate church and state. .

U.S. District Judge Harold Ryan dismissed two-matbe panel until 9 a.m. MST Friday after it reportedly spent the afternoon reviewing videotapes that made up much of the prosecutions case alleging Cutler contracted for the ritual decapitation of a government informant. Closing arguments earlier Thursday centered on the question of whether Cutler willingly paid $2,000 to an undercover FBI agent for the murder of Thomas Martinez, or whether he was entrapped by federal officers and informants. This crime was a creature of the FBI and their sting operation, and in particular the d creature of this man Bob Bowyer," defense attorney David Nevin told jurors. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Howen said A March 4 death in Florida warrant has been signed for serial sex killer Ted Bundy, but a detective who investigated Bundy in a series of 1974 Washington slayings predicts delays. Bundy, who was raised in Tacoma, Wash., has been described by King County, Wash., police as the prime suspect in the unsolved 1974 slayings of eight young women at a time when he was living in the Puget Sound area.

I had hoped somewhere along the line we would get a chance to speak with him about what we suspect he has done up here, said Keppel. Maybe he cant talk to anyone at this point, but it would be important to us in learning what he has done and how he has beat us.
