Debris from downed trees and ruined mobile homes is piled up wait' ingfor removal. "AD in all, I think it looks pretty good when you consider what it might have been," Mayor Alice Claggett said after touring the disaster areas late Sunday afternoon. "We've got an awful lot of piles of trees, but things are shaping up.

Omaha corps officials say they dont know how the changes will affect their operation of the dam because this is the first time such action has been taken against them. "We will draft a response to the letter," said Candy Gorton, a corps environmental expert "We haven't gone through this before, so I just dont know what will happen." In the meantime, negotiations between the Yankton Sioux and the1 corps continue. The tribe has asked the corps to1 consider building a dike that would keep the water away from the' remains, protecting them without' having to remove and rebury them Both sides are talking about plan-' ningathank-you" ceremony at the site later this month.

The two sides are discussing allowing the tribe to have its own consultants involved in evaluations, of the site. The tribe also is asking; the corps to allow it to be part of hiring any contractors, plus have a tribal designee at any work done at the White Swan site. "We're trying to work toaconsen- sus and working to resolve the issue independent of the letter," said David Vader, the corps' tribal liaison. Vader said the corps is dedicated to trying to handle the matter with'' sensitivity to the tribe. "There's some sincerity on sides," he said.

"I appreciate every- one's willingness to work together." Drapeau said she thinks the national council's action is forcing': the corps to admit that what it's done in the past is wrong. "They will have to listen," Dra- peau said. "That was only what our i people have asked."

Clark said no equipment was lost in the flood, although trash bins full of medical supplies had to be pitched because of possible contamination. "Obviously, that was our biggest concern.

We called our infectious control officer and the department of health first thing," Clark said, adding that he hoped to meet with the insurance adjusters today or Tuesday to get a better idea of damage. He said it could be six months or more before a final damage assessment is complete. While radiology was on track late Saturday, it wasn't until about 3 jn. Sunday that the hospital's lab got some of its computers back. "We dont have all of them, but we have enough," said Vicki Lehrman, the lab manager.

"We have about one-third of them back in operation, and that's enough to get us started." Dr. Bob Snortum, director of emergency services, said the flood challenged his staff ability to cope with a disaster. "It tests everybody's imagination, and I think everybody did quite nicely," he said. "You just have to make do with what you can and give people the best services that you can." With the exception of emergencies, Clark said patient services were not interrupted. In fact, he said, the 50 people who were hospitalized at the time of the storm probably wouldn't have been aware of the situation had it not been for the fire alarms.

For Sunday visitors to the hospital, the only visible signs of flood damage were a handful of blue fans set up in the main lobby to help dry soggy carpet.

Mayor Alice Claggett said the city's first task is simply to clean up and comfort those who suffered losses. AO in all, I think it looks pretty good when you consider what it might have been." Claggett said after touring the disaster areas late Sunday afternoon.

"We've got an awful lot of piles of trees, but things are shaping up. It'll be a long while, but we'll get most of the debris out, and then we'll go on from there." Among the businesses damaged was Trail King, which manufacturers truck trailers and employs about 500 people. Part of the roof and an entire wall came down during the storm. Claggett said the company plans to resume operations this morning. The way I understand it, they'll put up a wall so they can still work in there," she said.

Plant manager Jerry Thomsen couldnt be reached to discuss the company's plans in more detail The most serious flooding occurred at Avera Queen of Peace Hospital which had to move emergency room procedures to the clinic at Dakota Medical Specialists at 3 a.m. Saturday. The hospital resumed its emergency procedures a little more than 12 hours later, During that time, medical personnel treated 25 emergency cases at the clinic, said Patrick Clark, the hospital's senior vice president Between two and three feet of water poured into the emergency room when city storm drains backed up. From there, the water spread out across the main floor of the hospital and cascaded into the basement, shutting down the elevators, setting off the fire alarm system and forcing the laboratory and radiology departments to improvise around ever-rising water levels.

Six defendants are held in New York, three are held abroad and eight are fugitives, including bin Laden, who is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.

Extradition proceedings are under way for those jailed abroad, and a $5 million reward is offered for the capture and conviction of each fugitive. Convictions could bring life terms for all of them and death penalties for two. Defense complaints have come as recently as a pretrial hearing on Wednesday, when Mamdouh Mahmud Salim complained to U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand that he still did not understand the charges against him.

"In the indictment itself, I have not found anything that I have done against America," Salim said. "What is it that I did? And I will not accept a general term like 'conspiracy' to be applied to me. I would like to know what is it that I specifically did, only at least one thing." "Thrill of my life," she said.

She owns a motorcycle, "but I'm kind of scared to shift it, so I don't ride it.

I ride a mo-ped, though, which is strange enough, because I never even learned how to ride a bicycle." A lot of the people in Sturgis don't seem to ride a lot, either, first-time visitor Summersted noticed. "There's a lot more crowd than bikes," she said. "But the ones that do ride, where do they go? They always seems to be zipping somewhere." Some of them ride to the attractions in the Black Hills: Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse mountain, things like that. Some, like Joe Smith of Denver, the work of an international terror group. The government says the attacks that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, in Kenya and Tanzania were engineered by Osama bin Laden, a Saudi-born millionaire who has called for the killing of Americans.

Prosecutors allege that a decade ago, bin Laden formed a terrorist group, al Qaeda, Arabic for "the base," and that he issued a public declaration of war against the U.S. military in August 1996. In May 1998, prosecutors allege in court papers, bin Laden intensified his terrorism campaign by issuing a statement titled "The Nuclear Bomb of Islam," which said, "It is the duty of the Muslims to prepare as much force as possible to terrorize the enemies of God." Now, bin Laden is accused in an indictment along with 16 other Val Hoeppner Argus Leader "Well, maybe 111 just ride a ways way late," he said. "But that's OK. We miss some of the crowds, and you can really sit back and enjoy the ride out here." Others ride to one or another of the races, hill climbs, concerts and contests that fill the rally week schedule.

Sunday, for example, Kansas and America played in Deadwood, Joe ride to ride. He and a dozen other bikers stopped for snacks at Howes Corner early Sunday afternoon. They'd left Sturgis in the morning and headed west on Highway 34. They planned to follow Highway 73 north to Faith, maybe Lemmon, and gradually wind their way back to Sturgis.

$12.99 diverse Christian conference ever. But in doctrine the group was anything but diverse. A distinctly conservative "Amsterdam Declaration," written by a panel to reflect discussions here, was distributed to participants at the closing. It spurns all attempts to water down the old-time religion under assault of modern pluralism and relativism. Jesus is the "one and only Savior," it says, and the only path to salvation is belief in his death on the cross to overcome human sin; Hell and destruction await those outside Christ.

And the Bible is God's "totally true and trustworthy" revelation. Graham's son and designated successor, Franklin Graham, indicated in an interview he was dubious about the declaration. "I don't know why every time we have a meeting we have to have a document," he said. The Bible's the document, because we believe it word for word." By RICHARD N. OSTLING Associated Press AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -The biggest world conference for evangelical Protestant leaders ever concluded Sunday night with a Communion service, rousing songs by a multiracial youth choir from 50 nations and brief marching orders from its absent chairman, the Rev.

Billy Graham. Graham, looking reasonably fit but speaking in a husky voice, had prerecorded his remarks Saturday in Rochester, where he is recovering from surgery. "Let us light a fire of commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to the ends of the earth, using every resource at our command, and with every ounce of our strength," he said.

"The minimum of logic suggests the governor's new decision should be in my favor," Marszalek said by phone from Oswiecim, the Polish town where Auschwitz was erected.

Marszalek's project, which initially provided for a mini-mall, was meant to improve the ramshackle shops and warehouses that have stood for decades across the street from the camp site. Started in 1995, it quickly drew outrage from Jewish groups around the world, who argued it would desecrate the memory of the victims. By MONIKA SCISLOWSKA Associated Press WARSAW, Poland The Polish Interior Ministry has lifted a ban placed by local authorities on a visitors center, cafeteria and parking lot near the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, the developer said Sunday. Janusz Marszalek said the ministry ordered provincial governor RyszardMaslowski to reconsider his decision blockingthe project, saying it was based on the incorrect premise that a snack bar, shops and a parking lot already on the camp site would remain.
