He said the church is the people and not the building. "We're trying to look at the centuries ahead of us." The First Baptist congregation was formed in 1849, and its first building was dedicated on July 4, 1859, according to church documents. The church has been on College Avenue since the late 1800s.

Space was scarce through the early 1900s, and the congregation grew to more than 3,000 members in 1949. About that time, work began on the Duval Wing, and later on the Adams Wing. Now the church spans a city block, from College to Park avenues. Its main sanctuary seats 1,400. A four-story Christian Life Center houses a gym, aerobics room, outdoor swimming pool, racquetball courts, a sauna and a steam room.

Jim McGrath, 21, said the church is "like a second home." He was baptized there and has attended all of his life. His grandparents were members in the 1930s, he said. "It would be tough getting used to a new building," he said. McGrath said Florida State University students like the location because it's only a five- to 10-minute walk from campus. Some of those students, he said, probably wouldn't want to drive to a distant location.

Members who work downtown want the convenience of dropping kids off at the church's day care program, he said. And the aerobics room and gym are popular because they are close to members who work near COLD WARM STATIONARY E3 53 E3 WW lOHf 8HOWER8 HAH T-STOflMS RUflfitFS C1M1 Aocu-WMtlwr.

More than two weeks of testimony was broadcast daily on WMUR-TV in Manchester, hooking viewers in stores, beauty parlors and thousands of homes at least as far away as Boston.

The Boston Herald this week invited readers to "be the judge" by calling in their verdicts on a 900-number. They voted guilty, 543 to 101. Defense lawyer Paul Twomey blasted the newspaper's coverage as "barely above contemptible." The jury concluded its first full day of deliberations Thursday without reaching a verdict It has met for nine hours over two days. Gawkers had jammed the Rockingham County, Superior Court, some showing up as early as 1 a.m. and traveling as far as 100 miles round-trip to wait for one of the gallery's 30 seats.

"I only meant to come one day, but I became so interested I had to come back," said Esther Glennon, 70, of Concord. "It's like a real-life soap opera." High-school senior Mike Tilas saw it as something more. He called the courtroom spectacle "the most intriguing thing I have ever seen." "My parents let me come," he said. "My parents told me this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing." With no courtroom drama to watch, the corridors in the small courthouse were filled mainly with reporters. They moved in packs to various centers of attention, intently pursuing any scrap of information.

At one point, Twomey and downtown, McGrath said. Buddy Holmes, a Leon County deputy property appraiser, estimated the cost of the church's complex at a "rough, rough" $10 million. The land alone is worth about $3.1 million. "That's a beautiful building," he said. "It's part of downtown Sunday.

It would be odd not to see them (church members) there." Temperatures State Rn.

In addition, they said, helicopters do not cause as much damage as warplanes and are tougher to shoot down. Tensions grew, too, between Iran and Iraq. Iran's official news agency said the Teheran government had strongly protested Iraq's reported abduction of Grand Aya-tollah Abolqassen Al-Khoei, the foremost Shiite authority, who is over 90 years old. He was shown on Iraqi television Wednesday congratulating Saddam for stomping out sedition by the Shiites.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said rebels remained in control Thursday of large portions of the predominantly Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, including areas close to the cities of Kirkuk and Mosul. Also Thursday, an Iraqi delegation in the Saudi capital of Riyadh began talks with allied officials on speeding up the repatriation of Iraqi prisoners of war. Iraq freed 1,150 Kuwaitis on Thursday in compliance with cease-fire terms. In other developments Thursday: The U.N. Security Council's sanctions committee agreed Thursday to lift the food embargo on Iraq after Baghdad said it would allow the United Nations to distributed the foodstuffs, a senior West-em diplomat said.

Nearby, a third crowd formed around William Smart, the victim's father.

Smart was school-district media coordinator when she met William Flynn as one of his instructors in a self-awareness program at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton in late 1989. She worked in the program, which is intended to discourage drug and alcohol use, and also worked in, non-credit student video projects. She is not licensed as a teacher. Flynn, now 17, and two friends at the high school admit they killed Smart's husband Gregg, 24, last May 1 at the couple's Derry condominium. The teens pleaded to lesser charges in the murder in exchange for their testimony.

The victim's parents, William and Judith Smart, said their son's death has become secondary to interest in the teacher's love affair with a teen-ager. "No one's cried but our family for months and months," Judith Smart said. 5' i 0 Kidd LT Todd Bestor Age: 30 Branch of service: Navy Length of eervlce: 3 years School: Maryville University Siblings: Teresa and Tracy Bestor Name: Corp.

Central Command in Riyadh said. Rebels also said that Iraqi troops have tried to cut off supplies of food and medicine to areas held by the insurgents, and government warplanes and helicopters have set rebel-held oil fields ablaze. Williams, speaking to Pentagon reporters a day after a U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iraqi warplane, said the United States also regarded Iraqi combat helicopters as a threat to U.S. forces in occupied Iraq.

But Williams, sidestepping repeated questions about U.S. policy, declined to say whether U.S. forces would target helicopters as well as warplanes. being as forthcoming with you all as we have been with the Iraqis," he said. "Is our policy somewhat ambiguous? Yes." State Department and Pentagon officials said the helicopters were not being shot down for several reasons.

Sue Morgan, who lives near the lake, wanted to know why the south side of Tallahassee gets so much sewage from the north side anyway. "Why don't you put a station to treat the waste where it came from?" she asked, as the crowd applauded. Other citizens, some agitated and angry, said there are too many studies on the lake and not enough action. Most of the stormwater and sewage that ends up in Lake Mun-son drains from Tallahassee, which has caused conflicts between city and county officials over who should take responsibility for the lake.

Some in the audience said Tallahassee and Leon County commissioners should stop bickering and do something about the lake.
