Calvin and Hobbes PORTLAND (AP) A 24-year-old Portland dental student was "a fortunate guy" who came away with only minor injuries after a 200-foot fall and a night alone on Mount Hood, authorities said. Gerald Kennedy was held overnight for observation Sunday at Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital after being rescued Sunday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said. A 304th Aerospace Rescue Recovery Squadron helicopter plucked Kennedy from the Newton Clark glacier on the northeast side of the mountain about 12:10 p.m.

He had been stranded there since 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Doctors said his condition was good on arrival at Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital. Spokeswoman Lee Lewis Husk said Kennedy suffered back and ankle injuries and a broken tooth, but showed no signs of hypothermia after nearly 16 hours on the snowy mountain slope. A Hood River sheriff's dispatcher said Kennedy had been climbing with Mike Connell, 25, of Portland.

Cnnell went for help after Kennedy and reached the Mount Hood Meadows ski resort at 1:53 a.m., said dispatcher Jess Flem. Hood River Sheriff Richard usten moe. im: its mt soY ri figHty TWATS MY NeaVi? FAMORtTE leah? SWEVT for ih AHO Y0)HMNO WMJT IT I PI GUT TTi TKkCF i Jit Northwest Kelly said Kennedy and Connell were inexperienced climbers and had chosen a route above the headwall of Newton Clark Glacier that more experienced mountaineers would shy away from at this time of year. Connell told deputies they had completed their climb along the Cooper Spur Route on the mountain's northeast slope. They were looking for an easy descent because Kennedy had recently had knee surgery, Connell said.

The two men had little climbing hardware and were rappell-ing down a rocky slope when the accident occurred, he told deputies. After anchoring his rope, Connell said he rappelled out of the way of a rockfall. Kennedy was following when his rope suddenly came loose and he fell. Connell said Kennedy was conscious and sitting up when he reached him. He gave his partner extra clothes and placed an empty daypack under him before starting out for help.

Timberline Lodge spokesman Bill Conerly said Saturday night's low temperature reading on the mountain, located 60 miles east of Portland, was 36 degrees. The Air Force Reserve rescue unit spotted Kennedy at the 10,000 foot level at daybreak, Scott said. Efforts to reach Exxon officials in Anchorage, Alaska, were unsuccessful. The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State from Canada's Vancouver Island and links Puget Sound with the Pacific Ocean. Tankers, many carrying Alaska crude oil, travel the strait regularly to reach refineries along Puget Sound and the associated inland marine waters.

Another Exxon tanker, the Exxon Valdez, spilled about 11 million gallons of oil in Alaska's Prince William Sound when it struck a reef in March. It was the nation's worst oil spill. In April, the tanker Exxon Philadelphia lost power and was adrift off the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca with a load of 2.1 million gallons of Alaska crude. The vessel was towed to Port Angeles for repairs.

Lt. Cmdr. Richard Fitzpatrick of the Coast Guard's local marine safety office said repairs to correct a malfunction in the electronic components of the 810-foot Exxon San Francisco were completed Sunday in Port Angeles. The tanker lost power about 8:30 p.m. PDT Friday about 33 miles west of Port Angeles and five miles north of Slip Point near the west end of the strait.

The ship drifted for about an hour in the strait before regaining 40 percent maneuverability and was escorted to Port Angeles by the Coast Guard cutters Active, Point Bennett and Cut-tyhunk. A Coast Guard HH-65A Dolphin helicopter also was dispatched. Inventory Financing Available OAC Trimmers, SEATTLE Firefighters from around the region joined family and friends at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral to pay last respects to city fire Lt. Matthew Johnson, who died in an arson fire Sept.

9. Nearly 1,100 uniformed firefighters were among the 1,750 people who filled the Capitol Hill church Friday. Friends and co-workers described the firefighter as a big man with a big heart, of such a gentle nature that many close friends referred to him as "Matthew Bear." The 32-year-old Johnson, who was 6-foot-5, had been with the department for nine years. He was married and had a 14-month-old son. Johnson was one of the first firefighters on the scene the night of Sept.

9 when fire broke out at the old Blackstock Lumber Co. warehouse on Elliott Way. Johnson and another firefighter pulled a hose into the burning building. His partner managed to stagger out of the fire, but Johnson's body was found early Sunday beneath a pile of debris. Fire Department investigators determined the fire had been intentionally set, using a flammable substance.

Death to be investigated SALEM The director of the state Human Resources Department has ordered an investigation into the dehydration death of a 34-year-old retarded man at a Milwaukie care facility. David B. Bashaw died July 17, just a few weeks after being transferred from the Fairview Training Center in Salem. The Milwaukie facility's director, Fred Hutchinson, said Bashow suffered from a complicated array of medical problems, none of which kept him from getting water for himself. George Coleman, chief deputy medical examiner for Clackamas County, said several factors contributed to Bashaw's death.

While dehydration was among them, Coleman said that did not mean Bashaw had been neglected. Bashaw is among the 670 Fair-view residents who have been moved to smaller facilities during the past five years. Stones tickets sell fast VANCOUVER, British Columbia A second Rolling Stones concert for Vancouver was announced Saturday, and the tickets were a hot commodity. Mark Norman, vice president for Perryscope Concerts said the rock group would put on a second show at 7:30 p.m. Nov.

2, the evening after the first show. Both are set for B.C. Place Stadium. Tickets for the second show sold at a rate of about 12,000 every 30 minutes, Norman said. The first show's 42,000 tickets were gone in about 75 minutes, and people already in line were offered tickets for the second show, he said.

"The lines were so huge, we just kept them going," Norman said. He said concert tickets had never sold so quickly in Vancouver. "Our best ever was (the rock group) U2 in 1987, and that took two hours and 20 minutes to sell 40,000," he said. Norman said a third Stones concert was impossible because of concert commitments elsewhere.
