Doggone knife In the left photo, Tony Strolfo of Brooksville, holds the 7-inch steak knife that Pixie, his 2- month-old bulldog-shepherd puppy swallowed nearly a week ago. The knife was surgically removed. The right photo shows an X-ray of the knife lodged inside the puppy's throat. Knife removed; puppy safe Associated Press BROOKSVILLE, Fla.

For a week, the owners of Pixie, a normally playful puppy, didn't know why she had slowed down and would whine anytime she was picked up. The answer came when a veterinarian removed the 7-inch long, serrated steak knife the dog had somehow swallowed. "If I had known a knife was in her, I would have freaked," said owner Tony Stroilo. National report The English bulldog-German shepherd mix was less than 2 months old and weighed just over 10 pounds when she wolfed down the knife, probably on Jan. 14.

The knife apparently fell on the floor during a meal and nobody noticed, Strollo's wife, Barbara, said. No one, that is, except Pixie. Teeth marks found later on the knife testify to the fact the puppy gnawed at it before she swallowed it. Dr. Jo Ann Helm, a veterinarian, who found and surgically removed the utensil Jan.

Replacing turbopumps may delay space shuttle launch until March Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASA said Saturday it probably will replace at least two of the three liquid oxygen turbopumps on Discovery's main engines, a move that could delay the shuttle's late February launch until March. A decision will be made before Discovery is rolled out to the launch pad, a move scheduled for Thursday, National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokeswoman Lisa Malone said "It is very likely we will pull at least two of the pumps," she said. Sources reported that replacing two pumps could mean a delay of 10 or more days in the planned Feb.

23 Jaunch. The problem stems from the December flight of shuttle Atlantis. Post-flight inspection of Atlantis' engines disclosed two tiny cracks in a bearing assembly in one of the turbopumps. Engineers determined they were caused by stress corrosion, apparently resulting from moisture that penetrated the metal during the curing process. Extensive analysis has not revealed the source of the moisture.

Because two of Discovery's pumps may have been processed in the same manner as the faulty Atlantis unit, NASA is leaning toward replacing them with new, carefully inspected pumps. The third pump may be removed as a precaution, Miss Malone said. Such engine work usually is done when the shuttle is in the horizontal position in a processing facility. But Discovery was mated last week with its booster rockets and external fuel tank, and the turbopump replacement would have to be done while the craft is in the vertical position. Technicians have been working on new procedures to do the work in that position.

Too long a delay in Discovery's launch could affect the subsequent Atlantis mission, which is to dispatch a probe to the planet Venus on April 28. Discovery would have to be off the only shuttle launch pad by about March if NASA is to maintain the April date. Officers scour Utah for burial sites Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY A police officer on Saturday scouted a central Utah site where serial killer Ted Bundy claimed, before his execution, that he buried one of his victims. However, Bountiful Police Chief Larry Higgins said that, as in the case of two unsuccessful forays Friday at other locations, a full- scale search for the remains of Debi Kent would have to wait until warmer weather. In confessions Sunday and early Tuesday at Florida State Prison, Bundy used maps and descriptions to target areas where he buried the bodies of three women killed during the mid-1970s while he studied law at the University of Utah.

Gri Friday, searchers seeking the remains of 15-year-old Sue Curtis were were frustrated by frozen ground and snow cover southeast of Price. Lawmen in Wayne County reported similar conditions near Capital Reef National Park, where Bundy said he buried the body of 17-year-old Nancy Wilcox. However, temperatures near Capital Reef, in south-central Utah, are generally warmer than the other two sites and Wayne matching Bundy's description, in the area in the mid-1970s, but didn't think to contact authorities until he heard of the execution. Higgins said his officer examined a stretch of U.S. 89 between Fairview and Mayfield in hopes of narrowing the scope of a later search for Kent's remains.

"All we're really doing is checking out the information provided to us by Bundy in regard to the location, to see if we can locate approximately the site," he said. Higgins said Bundy supplied a detailed description of the grave- site, but declined to discuss specifics. "We're going to have to wait until spring," he said. "But I think that we've got a pretty good chance for success, and we'll make every effort to find Debi Kent's remains." In the days before his execution last Tuesday, Bundy, 42, confessed to 23 killings, but investigators suspect he may have committed more than 100. He has been linked to slayings in Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Florida, Vermont, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Bundy acknowledged involvement in eight Utah killings and mentioned the names of Kent, last seen in a high school parking lot on Nov. 8, 1975, and Wilcox, who vanished from the Salt Lake City suburb of Holladay the previous October. Ted Bundy County Chief Deputy Leon Brinckerhoff said a search could begin within a week to 10 days if the weather cooperates. "If weather permits and the snow melts, we want to be right back in that area. If there's a body there, we'll find it," he said.

Brinckerhoff added that a rancher in the area remembered seeing a man wearing a suit and An Exceptional Staff Each member of our staff is conscientious. dedicated to upholding the highest professional standards and doin everything possible for each family we FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1902 1 FUNERAL HOME 3021 763-2475 FIRE UP ABOARD THE COLONEL Sunday, January 29 The best seat in the house for the FIREWORKS!
