Dallas animal shelter styling potential pets Associated Press DALLAS — The city’s animal shelter has gone into the beauty business, cleaning up strays and even styling their coats in hopes of making them more adoptable. The $4,500 in beauty equipment was donated by a private estate, shel ter officials said, and they make use of a city-paid full-time groomer to make refugee pooches more cuddly. One dog named Cubby — part terrier, part poodle, part who knows what else — got the works recently: trim, bath, blow dry, another trim. Not much talking went on be tween client and stylist at the new beauty shop located in the city’s ani mal shelter in southeast Dallas. But city employees attending the grand opening of the grooming room kept the salon chit-chat going. “With her gray hair, don’t you think she’s more of a winner?” que ried Human Services employee Gail Cushing. “She’s naturally salt-and-pepper,” observed pound administrator Carol Steinmetz. “Definitely no dye job there.” Then the question of whether to add a bow to Cubby’s coif arose. “It depends on where she’s going,” said Steinmetz. “There’s a day look, and an evening look, you know. I think it makes a difference, don’t you?” Shelter officials told The Dallas Morning News they are banking on a yes from the the public. They also hope that, with the makeovers, more of the 35,000 dogs and cats picked up annually — 24,000 of which are euthanized — will find homes. Explosives lost along roadsides Associated Press SHERMAN — Several pounds of plastic explosives still litter the path of a high-speed police chase that left one man dead. Officials said Thursday that search crews will comb the roadsides into the weekend to find those ex plosives. Thomas Francis Woods, Jr., 40, of Roanoke, was shot to death Wednes day after he led authorities on a 45- minute, 100-mph chase through Grayson County north of Dallas, said Grayson County Sheriff Jack Driscoll. As police pursued him down Texas Highway 82, Woods fired shots and hurled about 15 bags of the explosive at police cars, Driscoll said. He said none exploded because they weren’t wired properly. Police have since recovered seven chunks of the white, jelly-like Tovex explosive. The rest hasn’t been found. Dris coll said it’s because the explosives blend in well with the remnants of last week’s snow storm. Although authorities think the re maining Tovex probably wasn’t wired to explode, Driscoll urged caution to anyone who might find it. Tovex is usually used for rock- quarry blasting or oil field seismic work and no permit is required to buy it. Police still have no explanation for why Woods was carrying more than 32 pounds of Tovex — most of which authorities destroyed Wednesday night. On Thursday, po lice were questioning a woman who was riding with Woods during the chase. Theresa Weiler, 25, who was slightly injured in the shootout after police sent Woods’ van careening off the road, was taken to the local jail after brief hospital treatment. Woods was pronounced dead at a site four miles east of here about 45 minutes after officials spotted his van, believed to be stolen, and gave chase about 10 a.m. Wednesday. Driscoll said an informant had led police to the Denison residence after tie told police Woods had explosives, narcotics, a machine gun and a sto len van. After Woods left the house, he realized he was being followed and began traveling at speeds of up to 105 mph, Driscoll said. “We gave him every opportunity to stop, and we didn’t even return fire when he threw those devices,” Driscoll said. “But when he opened on my men, I ordered them to open on him.” St UTEP fires dorm assistant dw start! ■nly 0. Friday esday Anytime SB 764-Q£ Associated Press EL PASO — A man who received free room and board at the Univer sity of Texas at El Paso for working as a dormitory assistant despite not being enrolled says he never in tended to deceive school officials. Jiipniy Legarreta said he was re lieved of his duties two weeks ago af ter the school conducted a grade check and learned he had not been enrolled for three semesters. Legarreta had been receiving free room and board and $200 a month for serving as a senior resident assis tant at a campus dormitory. Students must be enrolled full time and maintain at least a 2.0 grade-point average to work as resi dent assistants or senior resident as sistants in the university’s housing system. Senior resident assistants super vise resident assistants assigned to specific dormitory floors. They en force housing rules and regulations "They asked me for my grade slip. I told them I didn’t have one. I was not enrolled, so they asked me to leave. Jimmy Legar reta and generally assist students in ad justing to campus life. Legarreta told The El Paso Times Wednesday that when asked by school officials, he acknowledged he was not a student. ‘T hey asked me for my grade slip. I told them I didn’t have one,” he said. “I was not enrolled, so they asked me to leave. They were very fair about it.” Legarreta said he made a mistake, hut never intended to deceive the university about his academic status. “There was no maliciousness in this,” he said. “It never occurred to me to beat the system.” Legarreta said he was hired in 1983 as a resident assistant and later was promoted to senior resident as sistant. He was not enrolled in school when hired, he said. UTEP housing director Richard Hanke said the case is closed as far as the school is concerned. “I cannot talk about the specific person, since personnel records at the university are confidential,” he said. Hanke said the housing office conducted computer and grade checks on all its student employees to verify their work eligibhty. He said one senior resident assistant was dismissed. He added that his office had not made routine checks of the eligiblity of its student employees in two years.
