Dog’s life -

Crabs sidestep
A
United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ohio — For a
while, it was a dog’s life for Larry
Wagner, but the law finally caught
up with him and sent Lord Russell
back to the kennel where he be
longs.
down glory trail
Wagner, 40, pleaded guilty Fri
day to a charge of using his dog’s
name at work so he could collect
$644 in unemployment benefits
under his real name. Franklin
County Municipal Court Judge Wil
liam Boyland fined him $100 and
suspended a 60-day workhouse sen
tence on the condition that Wagner
pay back the benefits to the state.
INFLATION
Wagner collected the money
while he was working for a private
bus firm in February. He reversed
his dog’s name — Lord Russell —
and reported to work as Russelli

CRISFIELD, Md. —
Pennsylvania’s outstanding crab,
Susquehanna Sam, sidestepped
his way to victory Saturday in the
31st annual National Hard Crab
Derby.
Susquehanna Sam beat the
field with an official tinje of 30
seconds. The runner-up was
Stanley, owned by Rosie Higgins,
of Dover, N.H.
A native Maryland blue crab
placed third.
About 347 crabs — a record —
entered the annual Governor’s
Cup crawl down an 18-foot ramp
dampened with water to cap four
days of festivities in Crisfleld, a
watermen’s community on the
Chesapeake Bay.
A Maryland blue crab named
Hillbilly Two, ofPocomoke City,
was third.
Crabs representing 21 states
were among the entries.
Hawaii’s crab was flown to
Baltimore-Washington Interna
tional Airport on a commercial
airline, then by private plane to
Crisfield and delivered by a sky-
diver.
James Gundling, chairman of
the derby, said special precau
tions, including a special air sick
ness diet, were taken to safeguard
“Koho Mua,” because Hawaiian
crabs have been accident-prone.
But the precautions didn t
help. “Koho Mua” failed to place.

PADRE ISLAND NATIONAL
SEASHORE, Tex. — Legend has it
that eating Ridley turtle eggs can
enhance sexual prowess, and the
meat and hides also have been
popular. As a result, the species is
near extinction.

chief naturalist at Padre Island Na

“Then they will make their way
back to this particular spot to lay
their eggs. No one knows what
creates this imprint so they know to

But this year, the National Park
Service — in cooperation with the
Mexican government — started a
crash program to reverse the rapid
decline in the sea turtle population
in the Gulf of Mexico.
During the past two weeks, park
service employees have released
several batches of Ridley hatchlings,
carefully nurtured in temperature-
controlled styrofoam boxes, on a
Padre Island beach.
“We release them for a while hop
ing they will go through the process
Whistler said the tiny turtles have
been allowed to crawl into the Padre
Island surf for maximum imprinting
opportunity. Then, they have been
recaptured, carefully boxed and
shipped up the coast to Galveston.
At the National Oceanic and At
mospheric Administration’s Marine
Fisheries Institute, the turtles will
be raised in tanks for about nine
months. When full grown, they will
be tagged for observation and re
leased in the Gulf.
“Apparently they have a route,"
Whistler said. "If releasedcsM
