Depam referred to the people m our community and by Jill Zuckman and Mike Lt the importance of being aware of their surroundings and any unusual activity that might need immediate attention from security or law enforcement agencies "For example," said Despain, "we had a tip on a vehicle that came into town When we located this vehicle, we found that there were illegal aliens m it When we dealt with the situation, we impounded the vehicle and got a notification from the INS that they were takmg over the case We and they asked why, was it because that explained it was a national security issue They didnt even communicate to us exactly what it was, so its important for the public to keep their eyes open When anyone sees something that doesnt look right, then they need to let us know," said Despam "Even if it turns up to mean nothing, it is better to know that it is nothing rather than finding out later that it was something," he added Both Sheriff Smith and Despam strongly advise the m Washington people the city of St and County George to take the word of Lt of Homeland Secretary Tom Ridge seriously Security Ridge has pomted out to the American public to be prepared m the event of a terrorist attack and to take simple steps to protect themselves and their families During his recent speech at the American Red Cross Chapter m Cincinnati, Ridge said, "The

suggested the club s owners were resistmg authorities' attempts to investigate the conditions that contributed to the conflagration At an evening news conference, Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch tersely indicated that club owners and Michael Jeffrey Derderian had failed to provide complete answers to investigators probing the fire "There are questions that all of us want answered," Lynch said There are outstanding questions that they have not " responded to The Derderians are engaged m a fierce public conflict with the band Great White about whether the club's management had approved a pyrotechnic display as part of the band's performance Thursday The fireworks blaze ignited the that killed 97 people and injured another 187 fast-movin- g The Derderians have vigorously demed that they had any advance knowledge of 'the pyrotechnic display and in the days following the blaze the managers of several clubs elsewhere in the country said the band also had used fireworks at performances without notifying the venues m advance But the band has adamantly maintained it received verbal approval from the club s management to use fireworks and a Boston band has asserted that the club permitted it to mclude a fireworks display at a performance last summer Pyrotechnic displays are not permitted without a permit m Rhode Island and local officials have said no such permit was ever issued to the Derderians' club, The Station Authorities m Rhode Island also have raised questions about whether the club was crowded beyond its capacity and about the soundproofing material used at the club The material appeared to ignite quickly m a video taken by a cameraman for a local television station who was m attendance Jeffrey Derderian, who is also a local television reporter, gave a tearful statement to the news media Saturday night denying any advance knowledge that fireworks would be used or any other reckless behavior by the club's management Lynch pomtedly contrasted

families made their pilgrimage, a team of medical examiners went on with the work of identifying the dead By noon, they had identified 31 bodies, m most cases using because the dental burned were

Saturday, addmg one more casualty to the list of victims that had been circulated Carcieri said that authorities hoped to identify "the vast majority" of the dead by Monday night Doctors m Boston also were able to ascertam the name of the last of the unidentified "Jane Does" among the injured The mother of the injured woman had spent much of her time during the past few days among the hundreds of relatives of missing club patrons gathered at a local hotel According to a Red Cross official, applause broke out among those gathered at the hotel when the woman announced that her daughter was alive
