Adopted child? The couple wouldn't say. She hasn't looked pregnant lately. Bechet (Bih-SHAY) Dumaine Allen is named after the swing-era jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet, papa confided. The parents were married Dec. 23, 1997, after Allen fell out with Mia Farrow, his longtime lover and Previn's adoptive mother.

England gets tunnel link MILLENNIUM TRAfSfWAUDN The sceptered isle was an isle no more in 1994, when England was linked by land to the European continent via a tunnel beneath the English Channel. There were proposals as early as 1802 to cut a passage through the chalky layers beneath the channel.

In the 1880s, a tunnel was dug from the English side until public outcry halted the project. The British feared a tunnel would be an easy invasion route. As Shakespeare noted, the sea served as a moat "against the envy of less hap- pier lands." Work begun in 1987-88 created a tunnel 31 miles long between Folkestone, England, and Sangatte, France. It's actually three parallel tunnels: two for highspeed train traffic, and a middle one for maintenance and security. With trains traveling up to 100 mph, the cross-channel trip takes 35 minutes.

In fact, a sheriffs deputy assigned full time to Columbine exchanged gunfire with the attackers early in the assault and radioed for backup. Piazza expects Front Sight's first phase training ranges and classrooms to be ready by year's end. New residents will be welcomed by the end of 2000, he said. For now, the community is just a maze of gravel and dust with tents for holding classes, which have drawn 2,000 students since they began in January.

The site, halfway between Death Valley and Las Vegas, as yet has neither water nor power. Piazza, 39, a former chiropractor, got interested in guns in 1988 after a shooting in his Aptos, neighborhood. After taking lessons, he opened Bakerfield's Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in 1996. He bought land here with proceeds. Piazza was also attracted to Nevada because of what he calls the state's "firearm-friendly laws." Nevada allows citizens to own Class 3 weapons, such as submachine guns.

California does not. Local government is treating Front Sight like any other new development. Nye County Planning Commissioner Tom Riley says his fellow officials "don't have any real concerns with it Instead of the 19th hole, they've got the bullet hole."

In the midst of simmering desert, in a town yet to be, Ignatius Piazza envisions a gated community that will offer residents not golf courses or pools, but 13 shooting ranges. Front Sight, a 550-acre planned community, will straddle two counties whose officials have already ap proved it. It will offer prospective buyers tl one-acre custom-home lots and 350 townhomes, and it will have its own community center, school and landing strip. "It's the Pebble Beach of firearms training," Piazza boasted. Piazza insists he and others in volved in the project are not affiliated with any militia.

He said most of the students who have taken his classes here or in Bakersfield, are professionals, law enforcement officers and homemakers. And he understands that the con cept of Front Sight will offend some people after Tuesday's massacre at a Littleton, school. He maintains, however, that a fa miliarity with guns, Front Sight's goal, could have reduced the Mondays and Tuesdays Are SENIOR DAYS Our Breakfast Buffet Is rz Breakfast Buffet Sened 6:00 am lo 10:00 am 'Seniors (60 Over) onl.
