Mong-iello dusted the coffin with incense and spoke about the death and resurrection of Christ. Mourners filed In two lines down the center isle to receive the host, or body of Christ The lines parted at the foot of the altar where McKenna's coffin rested.

It was closed and draped with a white cloth. The priest described McKenna, a participant in summer Christian athletic camps, as a happy person whose life had not ended, but changed. "He was a person who loved life." Mongiello said. "He is a person who still loves life." McKenna's coach, Joe Roles, paid tribute to the player who also was a devoted student and family member. In his speech, Roles made people laugh recalling the funny things McKenna did and said.

He made them cry when he said goodbye once and for all. "We lost a special person," Roles said. "But he's loving his people and he's praying hard for each of us. That's how I'll remember Tony McKenna." After the ceremony, the sad DEDESMITHNews-Press Family and friends of Tony McKenna tearfully exit St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Cape Coral Saturday morning after the funeral for the Mariner High School student.

They got into their cars to travel to Coral Ridge Cemetery. Their procession was more than a mile long, Griffin said.

From page 1A Rangers The Younts, owners of the damaged home, had just bought the house a few months ago and furnished it before heading to Chicago, said Wilkin. They were scheduled to move in Oct. 1. It took less than a minute for the funnel cloud to go from a "little bitty thing" to a big mass of wind and rain that came straight down, said Dennis Fredrickson. The Fredricksons managed to get off a few shots of the tornado with their instant camera before they were forced to seek shelter on the floor of their laundry room.

"Fortunately, Florida tornadoes are small," said Dennis Fredrickson. He estimated the tornado was between 100 to 150 feet wide. Veterans of Kansas tornadoes, the Fredricksons have experienced some that were of ten several miles wide. "When the season ended we had a meeting," said second baseman Paco Burgos. "Bobby said this (the playoffs) is a new season.

And wejust have to play hard. This is my first championship and I'm happy for everybody on this team, especially Jonesy." After Scruggs' sacrifice fly put the Rangers up 1-0 in the first inning, the rangers' happiness seemed secure. Starter and winner Mike Reit-zel didn't allow a anyone past first base for the first six innings. Mean-' while Charlotte constantly pecked at five Cardinal pitchers. Starter Rheal Cormier took the loss.

The Rangers made it 2-0 in the eighth on a RBI single to right by center fielder Travis Law. a third run came on the fifth on a suicide said. In Reitzel's six innings of work he gave up only three hits walked one and struck out. Alexander struck out three. "I'm numb.

Just numb," said Reitzel when asked to describe his feelings in the Rangers delirious clubhouse. He admitted to having butterflies two nights ago about this game. "All I could think about was how I was going to pitch to these guys," he said. Obviously, as he looked around at his teammates pouring champagne all over each other in celebration, his thoughtfulness had paid off. His return was being a member of the 1989 Florida State League Champion Charlotte Rangers.

squeeze bunt attempt by third baseman Luke Sable which turned into a single because nobody covered first base. But Cardinal designated Joey Fernandez led off the seventh by lining Reitzel's 1-2 offering over the right-field fence. Jones then pulled Reitzel in favor of relief ace Gerald Alexander. "I wanted to stay in there. I wasn't tired or anything," Reitzel said.

"But I realized that we needed somebody fresh in there, and I knew Gerald could do the job." Alexander didn't disappoint Reitzel as he set down the game's last nine hitters in a row for the save. "I knew I would get em' out if I could just throw strikes," Alexander late this afternoon with temperatures hovering in the low 90s. Saturday's tornadoes left pieces of red roof tiles strewn down Caleb Drive and nearby streets. The collapsed roof on Caleb Drive was the worst damage reported in the aftermath of the tornado, of icials said. Most of the reported damage in that area was limited to broken trees and torn window screens.

Warren Wilkin, a Caleb Drive resident, broke the bad news of the roof damage to his neighbors over the phone. The couple who just bought the de-roofed home are in Chicago visiting family, Wilkin said. "I called them two minutes after it happened," said Wilkin. Wilkin shook his head sympathetically Saturday as he surveyed the damage under the drizzling rain. "Everything's ruined," he said of the drenched furniture.

The Younts, owners of the damaged home, had just bought the house FromPa9e 1A touched down and was confronted with high winds. "Debris was flying everywhere I mean it was really flying," said Wilkin. The Fredricksons had just put some cornish hens on the grill Saturday evening when they too began to notice the wind picking up and trees start to bend, "We looked out and the white caps were high," said Mary Fre-drickson pointing to the canal behind their home. A few minutes later they spotted the funnel cloud forming in the sky just above and slightly behind The tornado dissipated as quickly as it formed, said Dennis Fredrickson. He and his wife donned gloves to pick up glass from a window broken when tiles from the Yount home crashed into their home and landeJ on their den floor.

The tiles also punched gaping holes into the Fre drickson's screened porch in the backyard. "I never thought I'd move from the Midwest to go through this here," said Mary Fredrickson. -'I "Every county has different definitions of disasters, and I'd say this was it. We have seven units (ambulances) on the road, and five were at this scene," Lundy said. Although Lee County's EMS helicopter could not respond because of surgical teams.

"I was calling, letting them know the world had come to an end and that they'd better call people in," Lundy said. Three of the wounded were sent to Englewood Community Hospital, and the other 11 were sent to St. Joseph Hospital and Fawcett Hospital, both in Port Charlotte. "And it definitely would have helped." Glasses belonging to the man who died in the van, were found imbedded in the windshield, Lundy said. As emergency workers rushed to the scene, Lundy was scrambling to notify local hospitals that the accident would require the attention of a few months ago and furnished it before heading to Chicago, said Wilkin.
