Sex and smoke: Kallienke case enters 10th day Bush shoots lame duck WASHINGTON (AP) — Lame duck or no, President Bush still has a cleskful of unfinished business, from approving a new definition of svetlands to deciding whether to let British Airways buy a major chunk of IJ,SAir, He served dramatic notice last Thursday that he's still in charge when his trade representative slapped punishing tariffs on white wine imports from Europe. That could trigger a transatlantic tariffs sN'ar — or it could force the European Community to curb farm subsidies and allow a breakthrough in stalled global talks. Although Bush became a caretaker the minute he lost the election, he retains his constitutional powers to command the military, make treaties, pardon miscreants, and appoint ainbassadors. I-le submits the next year's budget to Congress with the sure knowledge his successor will modify it.
Fido survives bullet, master

ST. THOMAS, N.D. (AP) -- When Fido was injured by a> car last summer, a neighbor shot the dog to put it out of its misery. B ut Fi do surv ived and the community rallied to help get him well. Now, the German shepherd mix has outlived his master and the same neighbors are trying to find Fido a new liotne. The dog's owner, 73year-old Lynn Wold, was buried Thursday, leaving Fido without a place to live. After all Fido's been through, "I just know that Lynn would be really upset to have the dog put to sleep," said neighbor Darla Siewert. She would take Fido herself but already has two dogs and six cats.

The trial of Jacqueline Latrice James, 16, accused in the early morning arson and death of University of Central Oklahoma German professor Gerhard Kallienke last April, enters its tenth day of testimony. The prosecution has brought forward witnesses to testify that James may have taken advantage of Kallienke's drinking problem and possibly used money for sex as a motive. Prior to their arrests, James and a co-defendant Shariell Brisby, 13, were suspects for the forging of two of Kallienke's personal checks after his death. "The checks appeared to be stolen and forged," Greg Eisheid, a detective with the Edmond police department said. As suspects to the stolen checks, a search warrant was issued for the inspection of Brisby and James' homes. Initially, only Brisby's home was searched where Eisheid found a list of phone numbers with Kallienke's name, a notebook which contained gang graffiti similar to that found on Kallienke's garage door and charcoal lighter fluid and charcoal briquettes from Kallienke's duplex. Before District Judge John Amick, last week jurors listened to an audiotaped questioning of James conducted by Eisheid after her arrest April 22. On the tape James admits to being at Kallienke's duplex the night of his death, but denies setting fire to the home and blames Brisby for the woes that took place.
"The lighter fluid was sitting on the floor (at Kallienke's home) by the door," James said during her taped questioning. She said Brisby wanted the fluid to barbecue with. James said she knew nothing about the fluid being spread around the house and added that when her and Brisby went home that Brisby carried the lighter fluid. Concerning their walk home James said, "I saw no smoke." During the taped interview, James explained the scenario of the night of the fire. "We got there around 9 p.m. and he (Kallienke) was drinking," James said. "We told him that we were there to clean his house and we made him two drinks. He poured himself some more and while he was watching television and smoking he fell asleep and dropped his cigarette in the chair," she said. James explains on tape that Kallienke repeatedly dozed that night with a cigarette in his hand and that the girls extinguished each fire with a glass of water. The taped questioning of James concerning the events at Kallienke's duplex prior to the fire include James' confession of spray painting 'Blood Lova Fool' on Kallienke's garage door and sexual exchanges for money. "Didn't Kallienke pay you $80 to $100 for sex," Eisheid asked James during the taped questioning. "Brisby told him (Kallienke) that oral sex would cost him more," James said. "But I didn't do nothing with him." James also admits to filling out the front of the forged checks and signing Kallienke's name.

Passages signal change State questions lead to classroom answers By Tami Watson
Staff Writer The elections are finally over, and with the passage of State Questions 649 and 650, it looks like a new classroom building is in store for the University of Central Oklahoma. Due to legalities involved in issuing the bonds, however, it may be some time before
students actually reap the benefits of the bond issue, said Jeanie Edney, communications director for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. "There are several steps involved in issuing the bonds," said Edney. "The money probably won't be available until next spring." The money is officially appropriated by the state legislature which doesn't.
convene until February, and as soon as the funds are appropriated, renovations can begin, said Edney. "Some schools will be able to start as soon as the funds are appropriated because they have already made extensive plans," she said. "Other schools will have to wait until they complete their plans." The bonds are supported by taxes on bingo and pull tabs, and
even if the taxes don't raise enough money to cover the bonds, the general public will not be taxed, said Edney. "It's a vote of confidence that gives us the ability, as well as the responsibility to do our best for the citizens of Oklahoma," she said. "At the same time we need to be looking at how to be more efficient with general funds."
