"There is not much chance for mispronouncing Coke." The former Koch changed his name to "Coke Is It" on Nov. 19, according to documents at Vermont Superior Court In an appeal filed Dec. 21, Coca-Cola attorneys said the company registered the trademark "Coke Is It" oh Nov.

22, 1983. They asked the court to grant an injunction to prevent the former Koch from using the name until the appeal is heard, which might not be for a year. i No date has been set for the injunction v.i Bill Koch zipped across the finish line in first place at the 1982 World Cup Nordic competition. He is now living in Eugene, and designing courses for cross-country ski centers. His father, a St, Paul, native and Harvard University graduate, is well-known in Vermont for his unusual antics, which have included bailing strangers out of jail and offering to teach any willing youngster how to make maple syrup.

The former Koch said his family stm calls him Fred but he has received mail addressed to Coke Is It The new name appeared on a court file created when he appeared in Vermont District Court Thursday to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges of careless and negligent driving and disorderly conduct brought after police said he was following and harassing a truck driver in West Brattle-boro. He said his efforts to make the name change stick could pave the way for private citizens to wage successful battles against huge corporations. He said he is fighting not just to benefit fellow Americans but also the rest of the world. "Maybe there's a way to wise up the public on what's being done to them," he said. "To think they are doing this overseas to people who think they are drinking a bit of America.

That's an international crime." of BUI Koch, the first American to win a World Cup for Nordic said Saturday that he has changed his name legally to Coke Is It and will fight the Coca-Cola efforts to make his plan fizzle.

"Merry Christmas." "The mother feels this is the best Christmas present she could ever have," Plasha said. "It uplifted our spirits. Why she (Shanda) chose to talk when she did, we just don't know. They (therapists) really think its a miracle." Shanda will be at the hospital at least until May. "She does like to talk," Plasha said.

"What we are working on is to fine-tune her speech." He said this is the first time he has heard of such a quick recovery for Shanda's type of brain damage. Now that she is talking, the next goal is to get her out of her wheelchair. "We hope she will be able to walk," he said. "When she came in here at the end of July, we didn't expect her to ever talk again," said Michael Plasha, spokesman for the Lake Erie Institute for Rehabilitation. "The first real breakthrough was Dec.

17 during a therapy session," Plasha said. "She said 'momma' and they (therapists) began to experiment and got her to say which is more difficult than momma. 7 The next morning she greeted her therapist by saying, 7 'Hi Linda, Merry Plasha said the therapist grabbed the girl and went to the telephone to call Shanda's mother, whose name -also is Linda, in Mayville. "Hi, Mommy, I love you," Shanda said to her not spoken for nearly a year and whom doctors expected to remain speechless the rest of her life gave her mother a holiday gift by wishing her Merry Christmas." i Eleven-year-old Shanda Baldwin of Mayville, N.Y., was considered "a little chatterbox" before Feb. 28, when she was riding in a car trapped in deep snow.

The tailpipe became clogged, choking the passengers with deadly carbon monoxide, Two other children in the car died, and Shanda suffered severe brain damage that included oral apraxia, the inability to negotiate mouth movements. She is confined to a wheelchair.
