LANCASTER, NEW ERA C-8 FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1908 it I Coaster Ephrata deaths -'i 1 Iii IRAS. ViAt 100.1 LASER SIGHT SPICIALISTS Police served a search warrant at Lancaster County Prison Thursday to obtain the clothes Chapman wore when he was arrested, sources said. Although Chapman, of 570 Cloverbrook Drive, Ephrata, told police Monday that he strangled Greth, his mother has said he has a learning disability and may not have understood his legal rights. No charges have been brought In connection with Bowers' death, Madenspacher said this morning. Greth, who lived in Womelsdorf, was found in the creek near the border of Ephrata Borough and Ephrata Township.

Bowers, an Ephrata High School graduate who lived at 15 Overlook Drive, Ephrata, was found dead several hundred yards upstream, near a bridge along Mohler Church Road.

Ile said police are looking for hip boots Bowers apparently wore when he waded into the creek while his dog was swimming. Madenspacher said investigators believe Bowers was wearing the boots, although they weren't on his body when it was recovered. "We definitely are looking for the waders," he said. "We found his sneakers along the bank of the creek, and the waders are missing from the house.

"We know he changed into the waders, went into the creek, and we know where his body was foundIn between that, that's the mystery," Madenspacher said. Madenspacher said no cord or rope was found at the scene. In his confession, Chapman said he strangled Greth with a cord.

There are unconfirmed reports that dozens of area residents are missing. Eighty percent of the homes in Aiquile and the neighboring village of Totora were destroyed by the quake, according to radio reports from the region. The effects of the quake were felt throughout the central part of the country. The last time a powerful earthquake hit Bolivia was on June 9, 1994, with a magnitude of 6.8.

It caused no damage, however, 'since the epicenter was located 550 miles below the surface. LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) A powerful earthquake shook a large part of Bolivia this morning, killing at least 16 people and destroying hundreds of homes. The San Calizto Observatory said the first quake hit at 36 minutes after midnight near the village of Aiquile, 350 miles east of La Paz, and had a magnitude of 5.9. A second quake hit the same region 13 minutes later with a magnitude of 6.8. Smaller tremors were felt throughout the morning.

The epicenter was located 55 miles below the surface. 1 fJo, "It's the first mainstream sedan from General Motors that is plainly better than its competition from Japan: Automobile Magazine Intrigue's chassis mimics the behavior and feel of the imports European imports at that.

Moments later, I was trapped in a black plastic chair, with a yellow harness settled around my shoulders like a life jacket. This is when panic set it.

It was much worse the second time than the first. On Run 2, only pride prevented me from screaming "Let me off. For the love of God, let me OFF!" in the moments before the ride started. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it and my eyes were darting about involuntarily. I was about to do like an animal in a trap and gnaw off my limbs, when the metal floor my feet had been on dropped out from under me, and the cars started moving.

Oh God. Here's what happened. The Climb. like every top-notch 1cOaster, The Bear starts with an agonizingly slow chug up a steep incline. People weren't screaming yet.

Instead, they kept repeating "Oh my God." OK. So I was too panicked to notice what anyone else was saying. All I can tell is what I was saying, and trust me, it was: "Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." When this torturous climb was over we were a stone's throw from the loop of the sooperdooperlooper, which I have since renamed "the sooperdoopergirly'rnanlooper" We were 120 feet up.

I had a thought: What if the track snaps and the cars drop one by one, like beads cascading off a necklace, to the concrete below? Then we dropped off into nothing, and the screaming began. The Long Drop into the Full Loop. We proceeded to drop 120 feet, right into a full loop. You will love the loop, and then you will hate it. For a brief beautiful moment, as you slide along the top of the loop, you see nothing but sky.

It's like you're in slow motion, and there is nothing NOTHING between you and the stars. You're just out there, flying. Then you come out of the loop, and your body is flung forward into the position you're supposed to assume when an airplane is crashing. That's not fun. I had a thought: What if my seat somehow snaps off and is launched so far I crash through the roof at the Chevrolet Country Grill at the other end of the park? Could I survive that? The Half-loop with a Partial Corkscrew.

Here, you basically just screech around a hairpin curve at breakneck speed. Right in the middle of the curve the track twists so you are flung sideways, then righted again, violently. Big deal. The First Full Corkscrew. The corkscrews, the most tern-- fying part of the ride, are difficult to describe because there is nothing in human experience to compare them to.

Picture a section of flat track in front of you. Now grab either end of the track and twist it completely around, so there's a corkscrew in the middle. This is what The Bear engineers did. The 'coaster cars ride the track like a snake winding around the branch of a tree. Your body is flipped in full circles around the track.

Picture a rabid dog that has a baby doll by its head. The dog is shaking the doll violently, swinging it in circles. The rabid dog was the 'coaster. The baby doll was me. That's what the corkscrew felt like.

The Second Full Corkscrew. I can't talk about the corkscrews anymore. The End. I did not throw up. The grilled chicken and asparagus stayed down, although the shaking and the waves of nausea didn't stop until more than an hour after I left the park.

When I came off the ride for the second time, my nausea was heightened by the bizarre, grotesque sight of circus clowns frolicking with Hersheypark's little candy mascots. The clowns were there because Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus is playing in Hershey. The real-life Reese's peanut butter cup and Symphony bar and Hershey's chocolate syrup jar were there because, my mom told me, they live at the park. Jane Holahan (another New Era reporter who came along because she is insane, and wanted to ride The Great Bear just for fun) turned to me and wondered aloud if we were trapped in a Fellini film.

Then as if things could get any weirder Coco, the mascot for the Hershey Bears ice hockey team, came up and draped his arms around our shoulders. Hey off! I hate hockey, and after last night, I hate Hershey, too. dell i (40.2m te Ailliii, 1 1 Perfoim as well on asphalt as it does on paper. The critics have discovered the Now it's your turn.
