Friday, July 3, 1998 ELKO DAILY FREE PRESS, Elko, Nevada B5 ,7 0 Ann Landers hv the finances, maintained the household and attended evening classes at colleges in three states. (We moved a lot.) I finally bought her a diamond ring on our 50th wedding anniversary. We will soon celebrate our 63rd year of wedded bliss. She is an invalid now, but I am determined to care for her at home. No name, please.

Just A Doctor in N. Carolina Dear N. Carolina: Sixty-three yean with the woman of your dreams. You have been richly blessed. And so has she.

Dear Ann Landers: At the age of 26, I was a single mother with two boys, ages 2 years and 6 months. My mother decided that I was unable to make good choices when it came to men, so she managed that part of my life, with few results. The day after Mom died, my sister-in-law told me (at the funeral home) that she would be taking over where Mom left off. She asked if there was anyone I wanted to meet I looked down the hall and saw a man who took my breath away. I said, "I want that one!" My sister-in-law immediately arranged for me to meet "Joey." It was not easy to tell my father that I had picked up a man while arranging for my mother's funeral, but Dad said Mom would have approved.

I was surprised to learn that Joey was only 22. He was shocked to discover I had two children. It did not stop him from calling me, however. Not everyone was supportive of our relationship, so Joey and I learned to rely on each other. I was not able to have any more children and worried that Joey might have regrets about that, but he assured me it was not a problem.

We married two years after we met, and Joey adopted my boys. My older son said he got a dad as a birthday present. We just celebrated our 10th anniversary and couldn't be happier. Just Florida Dear Florida: Thanks on behalf of all the sentimentalists who read your story. It is beautiful.

Creators Syndicate, Inc. -f Dear Ann Landers: Please print this on July 4 Independence Day because I just got mine. I'm talking about independence. I don't know why it took me so long to dump a creep who lied, cheated, drank too much and was allergic to work. My message to all women who feel they aren't getting a fair deal: LEAVE.

Don't wait 14 years like I did. I am now Free, Self-Respecting and Happy in Fla. Dear Happy: Here's your letter, with thanks and fingers crossed that your future will be a lot happier and healthier than the past. I'm pulling for you.

KORBO Dear Ann Landers: In these days of expensive weddings, high-priced engagement jewelry and couples starting married life deep in debt, my how-we-met story might seem fictional, but it's true. When I was 19, 1 worked in a factory with a young woman who was also 19.

1 adored her from a distance, but she ignored me. Eventually, she moved to Chicago. Two years later, I traveled across America in a "Tin Lizzie" and made a special trip to Chicago to find that girl. By sheer luck, I succeeded. Apparently, she noticed a change in me, and we became engaged.

We corresponded While I was in medical school in Europe. I did my residency in a hospital near Baltimore (salary: $65 a month), and this brave woman left a good job in Chicago to marry me. The wedding took place on the porch of a justice of the peace. The ring I put on her finger cost $10. She raised our children, handled DRAWTY s.

A I 100 YEARS AGO July 2, 1898: Last Saturday evening, Joseph Marzen of Lovelock loaded a car with 21 blooded bulls. Among them were four Herefords, with the remainder being Shorthorns. They were sold to Altube Brothers for their 100,000 acre stock farm in Independence Valley near Tuscarora. Pedro Altube was in Lovelock to see to the shipment of the bulls. The animals brought $100 apiece.

They are as fine a lot of bulls as ever to have gone on a stock range. WHAT THE VILLAGE BECAME WHEN THE FKEWORK5 NOIMOD Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon. "FT" Answer here: A (Answers Monday) woman at Arnold, a railroad siding near Shafter, as the ones who robbed and ransacked the railroad section house there. The total number of people in the roving band was close to 100 but only five were identified as the thieves. Should the judge decide that the five be held for trial at the fall term of the court, it is entirely probable that Elko will be favored with the presence of the entire group until the fate of the other members of their tribe be known.

A hearing regarding the matter will not be concluded until later Jius afternoon. 50 YEARS AGO July 3, 1948: A surprise massacre occurred last night in Elko softball play.

25 YEARS AGO July 2, 1973: North American Basque Champions were declared during last weekend's Basque Festival. Jose Luis Arrieta of Emmett, Idaho, won his second title in the 250 lb. weight lifting category. For the 10th consecutive year, Joe Goi-coechea of. Elko, carrying 208 pounds, won the weight carrying contest.

Scott Carpenter, a recent graduate of Elko High School, took second and Benito Goitiandia placed third. Juan Vicandi, Juan Leniz and Jose Arrieta were the winners in the sheep-hooking category. In a new contest this year, Stewart Wilson won the men's bicycle race. Mike Alexander and Nick Fagoaga were second and third. Competing in the junior division were Joe McDaniel, Brad Vaughan and Paula Ormaza.

Also new this year was the granite ball lifting contest with each contestant lifting a 225-pound ball to their shoulders and circling it around their necks in a three-minute period. Juan Vicandi lifted the ball five times and Jose Arrieta, three. Home-grown eagle takes flight but it is believed that at 10 weeks it was blown out of the nest during a windy Memorial Day. This year, state park, Fish and Wildlife officials and the Nevada Department of Wildlife coordinated efforts to protect the latest offspring. One of the two eaglets is believed to have died in May, though wilflife experts say that is common.

Now, the adult bald eagles, which have a life span of about 45 years, are expected to continue using the same nest annually. Last Friday evening Harris Hall was filled to overflowing with relatives, friends and acquaintances of the graduates of Elko County High School. Upon the stage were seated the three graduates Misses Alice Lowe, Carrie Keith and Minnie Re-ckhart. After receiving their diplomas, congratulations were given by their many friends who wished them long, happy and prosperous careers. Earlier in the week, some students of the high school were recognized at Star Pupils, those who have been neither absent nor tardy and whose conduct has been first-class.

They are Zadie Wines, Lulu Phillips, Ella Chick, Effie Johnson, Paul Adams, Fern Gedney, Claud Schoer, Cora Taber, Addie Garrecht, Millie Wilson, Lena Miller, Bessie Keith, Lila Tremewan, Rosa Rifle, and Herbert Sproule. 75 YEARS AGO July 4, 1923: R.T. Evans, prominent North Fork cattleman, announced this morning that he had purchased one of the prize Hereford bulls from the Cazier herd at Wells. He is planning to transport the pedigreed animal to his ranch for breeding purposes. This is in line with his policy of bringing the standard of his cattle to the highest possible point.

SILVER SPRINGS (AP) Nevada's first documented native-born bald eagle in more than a century is quickly becoming a success story. The eaglet at Lahontan Reservoir is the first documented case of a bald eagle to be fledged in the Silver State for more than 120 years, according to Larry Neel, a regional non-game biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife. A weekly check on the eaglet that hatched in April on the Silver Springs Bay area of Lahontan Reservoir found the eaglet further from its nesting tree than ever before. "We know it has flown some distance," Neel said early Tuesday. Although the flying was not witnessed, he guessed it was about a 200-yard flight.

It won't grow its trademark white head and tail until it is 5 years old. Immature eaglets also have brown eyes and beak, unlike their adult counterparts whose beaks and eyes are yellow. Wildlife officials believe the Lahontan eaglet is a female because of the longer length of time it took it to fledge and the calmness it displayed in the nest. Buoys keep recreational vehicles and bird-watchers away. Even wildlife officials stay outside the buoys placed 175 yards from the nest, which probably was originally built by a great blue heron and then adapted to the, parent bald eagles' The fledgling is at a critical point where it will have to learn to fish and care for itself, Neel said.

The adult birds are likely giving their offspring flying lessons to become adept at swooping down on its prey. "It still has lots to learn," Neel said. It is obvious to wildlife officials that the parental protection instincts are dwindling as the young bird begins to fly. An adult bird protecting the fledgling stayed perched in a tree and allowed officials to get closer than ever before. The chance of survival looks good for this raptor, though it will face the same perils of other migratory birds, Neel said.

The eagles and offspring were first noticed in the tree last year after being spotted by a water biologist conducting an aerial survey. "We weren't expecting anything like this at all," Neel said. A baby chick was seen April 1997 Residents of Elko and Elko County can take their pick of many activities over the Fourth of July weekend.

IS NOT ENOUGH Crime victims rome to the realization soon enough that the fociiH of crimiqal eases is limited to punishing the offender, as well as deterring him or her from roinmitting further crimen. Even though victims of crimes may have lost time from work and endured pain and suffering while juiMuing justice in criminal cases, there is little or no concern for the victim's individual welfare. Thus, victims may pursue civil actions in efforts to gain compensation for the wrong perpetrated against them. Doing so moves victims from roles as mere witnesses in criminal cases to a position in which they are in control. As plaintiffs in civil cases, victims can make all the decisions that prosecutors could make in criminal cases.

ictims of crimes who hae losses they wish to lie compensated for may pursue a civil action whether or not the criminal case ended in a conviction. The liurden of proof in criminal rases is tougher to meet (guilt hcyond a reasonable doulit). than the standard in civil caes. in which plaintiffs must merely have the preponderance of evidence on their sides that is. just to lip the wale even slightly in their favor.

Drug sentence MINDEN (AP) A Zephyr Cove man was sentenced to one year in the Douglas County Jail for his part in a cocaine trafficking operation. Philip R. LeBerge, 49 owner of Ta-hoe Travelers, expressed remorse for his actions when sentenced on Monday. He pleaded guilty March 30, to one charge of sales of a controlled substance. "I'm sorry for everything I djd and I want to change my ways.

I will change my ways," LeBerge told District Court Judge Michael Gibbons. The judge also gave LeBerge a suspended, six-year prison term and five years probation. LeBerge was arrested a year ago after a narcotics investigation found about nine ounces of cocaine in a Federal Express package addressed to his business. He became a state's witness against Donald Evans Rose 34, of Tahoe Paradise, who is charged with cocaine trafficking and conspiracy. Rose pleaded not guilty to the charges and his trial is set for Sept 29.

Miss Nevada SPARKS (AP) A Mesquite woman will represent Nevada at this year's Miss America Pageant Miss Mesquite, Anna Carpenter, was crowned Miss Nevada 1998 following a week-long competition at the Nugget in Sparks that concluded on Sunday. Carpenter, a student at Willamette University in Salem, won a $10,000 scholarship and the chance to compete in the Miss America Pa three counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. Troy Allen Bacon, 33, told Douglas District Judge Michael Gibbons that that he wasn't trying to hit anyone when he opened fire in the parking lot of the Oxoby Mobile Home Court in Gardnerville on April 21. Instead, he said he hoped officers would fire back and kill him. The officers did fire back, but only one round struck Bacon in the lower right leg.

Bacon on Monday entered an Al-ford plea to the assault charges, meaning he acknowledged that pro secutors have enough evidence to convict him but did not admit guilt Sentencing was scheduled for Aug. 24. Storey schools VIRGINIA CITY A three-part ballot question intended to raise as much as $3.5 million to fix up schools and built new classrooms will be rewritten to make it easier to understand, officials said. Storey County school officials said the question as written contains too much legal jargon. "I've spent my career interpreting contracts, so I know about fegalese," said Storey School Board President Dan Lediard.

"I was dissatisfied with the bond question prepared by the bond consultant I wanted the bond question translated into plain English. "We have to be able to explain this to the guy who almost every day is deluged with junk mail," he said. Storey school officials will place a threepart ballot question on the November ballot asking voters if they would fund a $1.8 million bond. RENO (AP) A population boom of wild horses has prompted the Bureau of Land Management to offer pairs of mares and foals for adoption. "A lot of babies were born this year," said BLM spokesman Maxine Shane.

"The foals and their mothers need good homes, and those interested in adopting will have a large field to select from." In Nevada alone, about 300 mares at BLM facilities had foals. Most of those at the National Wild Horse and Burro Center at Palomino Valley north of Reno are between 3 and 5 months old. For health and safety reasons, Shane said the foals need to be kept with their mothers for a while longer. Fifty pairs Will be available for adoption at the Palomino Center on July 17 at a cost of $250. In addition to the pairs, 50 mares and 50 stallions will be ready for adoption on that date.

The adoption fee for single animals is $125. All adopters must be pre-approved. At least 120 pairs will be offered at sites in other states, including 40 in. Utah. The wild horse population at the Palomino Valley has surged to about 1,600 this year.

Shane attributed the growth to adverse weather during, the spring, which led to a dropoff in interest among people who might have considered adopting the animals.
