Con offended
by attention

NASHVILLE, Tennessee —-
After his conviction for drug
trafficking, Clemmie Jones
complained to a federal judge
that be was upset by the cu-
cumstances of his arrest

Jones, 35, had been the
object of a manhunt that sher-
iff's deputics grew so intense
about that they had T-shirts
made with photos of Jones on
the front and his wife on the
back, and were wearing them

.--- When they collared Jones

Said Jones to the judge, “I
felt as though I was being tar-
geted.”

During the summer, the
Institute for: Contemporary
Arts in London featured a
functioning toilet entitled
“The Great Flood” by the
highly-touted sculptor Sarah
Lucas. The piece sold for
about $20,000 fast year, and
the buyer loaned it to the ICA
under the proviso thar it be
plumbed to work.

Visitors are allowed to pull
the chain but not to use the
toilet (although two visitors
during a Berlin show did, in
what the ICA curator said was

“the ultimate involvement of

the audience”).

Rome Italy — On a hot,
summer frolic at the Piazza
Navona, Sebastiano Intili
jumped twice off of a beloved
statue into a fountain and acci-
dentally broke off a piece of a
dolphin’s tail that restoration
authorities said would cost
about $8,500 to fix.

Two days later, che 45-year-
old was sentenced to three
months in jail for trespassing,
but his lawyer immediately
announced that the fountain
was “in decrepit state,” that his
client jumped in at great per-
sonal risk, and that he would
sue the city for about $6,000.

Lexington, Kentucky —
Police were recently searching
for Delbert Buttrey, 47, who
they believe is the man who
kidnapped a transient couple
from Indiana, took them to an
isolated spot, and forced them
to perform oral sex on him

A recent Scientific
American reported on how
conservation biologist Joel
Berger ficld-studies moose,
which — are _ notoriously
unfriendly to humans.

The University of Nevada
at Reno professor needed to be
able to hurl fresh bear and wolf
dung accurately enough to
assure that a moose immedi-
ately smelled it, to see if it
made the moose fearful or
aggressive. To be able to get
that close to a moose, he
engaged a designer who
worked on the movie “Star
Wars” to make a moose suit,
which worked so well that
Berger said he spent much of
his time in the suit worrying
about being mounted.

NO time to stop. A tractor-trailer barrels up the Grouse Mountain access road at the top of Mountain Highway
earlier this week. The truck's cargo was giant sculptures carved from Douglas fir, part of the 16-sculpture
Tribute to the Forest display atop Grouse Mountain. World renowned carver Glenn Greensides has spent the
past two years working on the final 10 sculptures for the display.
