The event is Saturday, Feb. 17. oaiuiuay, reuiuoi iw, iwv 1960's rock great Del Shannon dies at 55 from apparent suicide SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) things that made him write those He said his friend had tough SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) Del Shannon, whose 1960s rock classics included "Runaway" and "Keep Searchin'," was found dead in his home from an apparently self- inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said Friday.

He was 55. Shannon's wife, LeAnne, found her husband's body about 11:25 p.m. Thursday, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Roger Horn. A rifle was found next to Shannon's body in the den of his home 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Horn said the death was being investigated as a possible suicide.

Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Bob Dambacher said an autopsy would be performed over the weekend. He said Shannon was shot once in the head. "It had to be impulsive," said his lifelong friend and personal manager, Dan Bourgoise. "In the end, he must have felt alone. All the paranoid things that made him write those songs he wrote, like I think he just ended up being that lonely guy." He said Shannon was nearing completion of a new album with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn and Mike Campbell, a member of Petty's group, the Heartbreakers.

"Everything was rolling along quite nicely," Bourgoise said. Bourgoise said Shannon had been depressed lately after a bout with the flu and his recent move into a new home, but had never discussed or threatened suicide. He said Shannon was upset because his other home was still unsold, and he was undecided about whether to go on tour. "He was disoriented and he was sick and he started to do all kinds of worse-case scenarios in his head," said Bourgoise, who said he and Shannon last talked on the telephone Wednesday. He said hid friend had fought drugs, depression and alcohoUan his career faltered, but had been sober since 1976.

Singer Bobby Vee said he talked with Shannon last weekend before the two performed in at an annual Buddy Holly memorial concert. Vee also said Shannon was despondent about going on a British tour and his recent move. It had been years since Shannon born Charles Westover in Coopersville, on Dec. a hit song or whirled around in the popularity frenzy that surrounded him in the 1960s. In the intervening years he toured, produced records, saw his material performed by other artists and made occasional comebacks, including a Petty produced 1982 LP "Drop Down and Get Me."

"But we're working to stay ahead of the curve." Booms had been placed across the entrances to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, the Santa Ana River and upper Newport Bay, and there were no reports of oil reaching those wildlife habitats. Coast Guard Rear Adm. William Kime said the soiled shoreline measured miles at Huntington and three-quarters of a mile at Newport. The slick stretched five miles by seven miles from Bolsa Chica State Beach to Newport Beach. There was concern the slick might drift south to Laguna Beach, a scenic art colony fronted by rocky tide pools.

Webster said a cleanup firm was on call there. The cleanup bill "has already reached the millions' of dollars," Kime told a news conference in Huntington Beach. He noted that results of federally mandated drug and alcohol tests of the ship's officers were negative. Cleanup costs were to be borne by the ship's owner, American Trading Transportation Co. Inc.

of New York, Webster said. British Petroleum said it had 390 cleanup workers along a 20- mile stretch of coast from Bolsa Chica to Laguna Beach. Eight skimmers were at work and five more were due by day's end. Home Continued from Page 1) Sunday. "There were rumors around here that people thought we were insane," Janice Morris said.

"I hope those who see it now won't be disappointed that it's entirely different than what they remember." Most of the original woodwork, a few light fixtures and two wind vanes atop the roof were salvaged from the old house. Everything else in this home that was once a landmark in the countryside is new. "We didn't start out to restore it," Janice said. "We knew we were going to make some big changes in it." Built in 1918, the house was said to be one of the finest of its tune. It is not known who built the house.

Over the years, it changed hands several times and, in recent years, it had fallen into disrepair. Janice Morris, 39, who was raised in the Falun area, had known of the house since childhood. Her husband first spotted the house in the summer of 1985 while they were visiting relatives here. He was soon to retire from the Army, and he knew the house was the kind of place he wanted to settle down in with his family upon retirement. "We wanted to live in the country in a place that we could fix up," said Glen Morris, who's an amateur carpenter.

In 1985 they decided to try to buy the house, even though they'd never seen its interior. They made their decision on the same day the space shuttle Challenger exploded, so they dubbed their effort, "Challenge East." "We knew it would be a big job, but thought it would be fun to do, and we needed a place to live," Glen Morris said. The couple spent two years negotiating the purchase from their California home via telephone calls and letters to the owners, who were in Sauna. In the meantime, Glen Morris and his sons made a'model of how they wanted their new home to look. Finally, with the paperwork squared away, they moved to the A "before" picture shows the Morrises' house before their work.

farm in August 1987. The first month was spent hauling trash and old fixtures and furniture out of the house. Then remodeling began. First Glen Morris and his sons pried the plaster off the walls and ceilings, and replaced it with gypsum wallboard. "It looked so easy I thought we could just nail the Sheetrock up," he said.

"But we had to add a lot of new corner studs." The most difficult task was rebuilding the front porch, adding two tall pillars and French doors with etched glass. Glen Morris spent days stripping and refinishing the woodwork. He made the hand-carved molding that trims the ceilings in the living room and foyer. He installed the home's electrical, plumbing and heating systems, too. Every room was remodeled, painted, wallpapered, carpeted.

New cabinets and counters were installed in the kitchen. "Most of it was just routine (remodeling) stuff," Glen said. He worked on the house full time the first year. He continued to work on the house in his free time this past year after taking a job at Payless Cashways in Salina. "I was always behind schedule," he said.

"But everything just sort of into place." While he and his sons did most of the hammering and sawing, Janice Morris got estimates on supplies and materials and picked them up. "I did most of the said Janice Morris, who works in the home improvement department at Sears Roebuck and Co. in Salina. The entire project cost about $39,000, Glen said. That doesn't include the cost of the property, which was purchased for about $27,000.

"We knew we were going to stay here forever, so we didn't mind putting the money into it," Glen said. The couple would like to see the house stay in the family for years to come. Under the front porch, behind a concrete block from the porch's original foundation, lies a time capsule Geiret and Travis made when the new porch was poured. It contains baseball. cards, toys, pennies, a copy of the Salina Journal and pictures of the original house and partially finished project.

The capsule is to be opened in 100 years, "It surpassed my expectations," Janice said. For your Information Hospital admissions Asbury- Brittany E. Beasley, 721 W. Cloud No. 26; Debra K.
