It is not something that can be taught, she said.

Teachers need to be excited about their subjects so they can interest students in the subject. Because of past budget cuts, some courses have been eliminated from the curriculum. Gifted programs in elementary schools have been scratched as have several vocational programs in the secondary school. The high schools construction technology course was canceled after the sales began to drop, Rohlfs. It was replaced with a similar course that simulates house construction and teaches the same skills.

The debate class also was canceled but still is offered as an extracurricular activity.

Through the program, students may take any freshman level course offered, according to Roland Kahnk, Midland's vice president of admissions and financial aide.

Murder From Page A1 Kreiger, Thurston County Attorney Stuart Mills, and Burt County Sheriff Leonard Car-narsky that he had met Anton at Arnolds Park at Lake Okoboji in Storm Lake, Iowa. Anton, a recent divorcee, had testified against her former husband in a drug-related court case just prior to her move to Lyons. At the time of the murder, some area residents speculated that her death may have been retribution for her testimony. Traces of blood were found in Antons apartment, Webbs apartment and in the hallway at the residence. There were no signs of struggle in either apartment.

According to Mills coroners report, Anton had been dead less than 24 hours when her body was found. Besides a career in law enforcement, Webbs background included a stint as a mercenary in Rhodesia in 1976-77. He had connections with Soldier of Fortune magazine, Carnarsky said. He admired that lifestyle but he didnt pursue it. The facts surrounding Webbs disappearance may be a clue to his location: On Dec.

29, 1986, the day before he left the area, Webb came to Fremont and traded in his 1971 red Mercury Cougar at Jalopy Johns. He purchased a 1975 Impala. While in Fremont, Webb went to AAA Travel Agency and inquired about passage to Central America, specifically about El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras. He asked questions about which countries he could carry a gun in. He had previously told friends of his that he would like to go to Central America, fly planes and stop the spread of communism.

While at AAA, Webb purchased an international driving license. Webb withdrew all of his savings from the bank the day before his disappearance. Webbs Impala was found by the Texas Department of Public Safety at an airport in Houston on Jan. 15, 1987.

Associated Press Batman and Me' out this fall for fans NEW YORK Batman creator Bob Kane got his start in New York by acting a little more like the Joker.

Id scribble on walls. On the subway, Id see an advertisement with the Colgate girl smiling with that beautiful set of ivory teeth, and Id start blacking the teeth out, Kane said in the July 31 issue of People magazine. Kane, the son of a printer at the Daily News, Kane invented Batman at age 18 and drew him for DC Comics from 1939 to 1966. Hes been lecturing and making television appearances since the release of the Batman movie. Kane will publish his autobiography, Batman and Me, this October.

Drummer cuts album at tender age of 23 BOSTON Terri Lyne Carrington, until recently the drummer on the Arsenio Hall talk show, seems too young at age 23 to already have an album out entitled Real Life Story. But then, Carrington has been playing with some of the giants in jazz since she was 10. Carrington grew up an only child in Medford, a working-class city outside Boston, where her father, saxophonist Sonny Carrington, introduced her to the sax when she was 5. Her decision to switch to drums at age 7 was borne of necessity. My teeth fell out, she explained during a recent interview.

By the age of 10, Carrington had begun to sit in with visiting musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson. She graduated from high school at 16 and in 1983 moved to New York and played with musicians such as Stan Getz, James Moody, Woody Shaw and Cassandra Wilson. Recently, she moved to Los Angeles. Carrington says her record, on which she sings three songs, is part of a plan to move from jazz prodigy to mainstream star. Weird Al a great kisser, says Jackson NEW YORK Saturday Night Live regular Victoria Jackson, showing she can kiss and tell with the best of them, discussed what it was like to kiss Weird Al Yankovic in their new movie, UHF.

We practiced for hours the night before. I loved every minute of it. Als a great kisser, she told People magazine for its July 31 issue. But Jackson was a little more critical of others. A lot of male actors think its a turn-on to show their tongue, and it grosses me out as an actress.

I dont know whos spreading the myth among these guys that its sexy to do that, she said. I just push it back out when they try that, and they get the hint." CLARIFICATION An article in Saturdays Fremont Tribune stated that Lori Smith played a supporting lead in a musical production at Fremont Senior High School. She attended Fremont High but performed in the Arlington High School play. The Fremont Tribune wants to correct all story errors.

St Ste Marie Seattle Shreveport Sioux Falls Lezlie Carlson, an employee of the Hiway Cafe, has a bit part as the waitress in the cafe scene. I didnt know what I was doing, I just poured coffee and asked if they wanted anything else, she said.

I came into work yesterday and my boss asked if anyone wanted to do this and I said that it sounded like fun. Carnasky said he wasnt nervous. Two years ago when this happened, the press was in all the time and I got used to all the cameras then. Pat and Trish Bell of Omaha had a camouflaged truck needed to shoot the bank scene. Ill tell you, all heads turned when we drove into town, Mrs.

Bell said. Getting to do this is worth more than money. Bell said. Im doing it for.thd excitement. So far though, my Ttids dont want my autograph.

Lyons resident George Fritts, who simply drives a tractor down the main street to give off a rural setting image, perhaps represents the attitude of the Lyons residents who were taking part in the production. There is nothing we can do to bring her back but justice should be done. He (Webb) is the only one that can answer the questions, Fritts said. The case lingers in the memories of Lyons residents and has taken on a mythical tone. Only one person has lived in the pink duplex where Webb and Anton had' separate apartments.

That person moved after a month or two. The faded pink house has Lyons From Page A1 It took more than an hour to tape the cafe scene. During this time, the actors put away a lot of coffee. My kidneys were getting pretty full from all that coffee. I never had brown eyes before but it wouldnt surprise me if they are now, Carnarsky said.

Another scene was shot at the First National Bank in Lyons. The scene focuses on the last time anyone saw Webb before he left town. Mary Piper, Lyons mayor, was the last person to see Webb. Mrs. Piper and Webb had exited the bank at the same time and were talking out in front when a camouflaged pickup drove by and flashed its brake lights.

Supposedly Webb hopped into his patrol car and followed the camouflaged pickup out of town, never to be seen again. The story about the camouflaged pickup has not been released publically before, but investigators think it may be a clue in Antons death. Some of the intimate details of the case have been pretty hush-hush, said Carnarsky. Some of the information, if it were released, might hamper the cage.4 Chip Clements, field producer of the segment, said that finding willing extras wasnt too difficult. We had plenty of people to choose from.

It looks like the whole town has shown up to see us work. Everyone is curious." stood vacant since Anton died and Webb disappeared. I live just north of the pink house, Carlson said. I wouldnt be surprised it they condemn that building. No one will live there and its not in very good shape now anymore.

Those involved with the investigation of the Anton murder hope that the T.V. segment may yield new clues as to Webbs location. We are at a standstill in the case, Carnarsky said. There is all kind of speculation as to Webbs location. He could be anywhere but I still think he is in the United States.

Webb is very intelligent and with his law enforcement experience he knows how we think. I just expect that someone, someplace, has seen him. After this segment there will be more eyes looking for him, Carnarsky said. Unsolved Mysteries with host Robert Stack has solved eight crimes since it premiered three years ago. The viewer is asked to call a telephone number if they have information about the crime that may lead to an arrest.

This is the second segment to be filmed in the Fremont area. The first segment filmed in Fremont was about William Curly Green, a former Schuyler man who died in 1978 with a $200,000 estate, no will and no known relatives. No date has been set for the airing of the Anton-Webb segment, but Clements said that it will be sometime this fall.
