Wolf home threatened
United Press International
TENINO, Wash. — If the
financial drain at the 30-acre
sanctuary for wolves called Wolf
Haven gets any worse, the orga
nization may be in trouble.
Where once the non-profit
sanctuary accepted all wolves
without question, a lack of funds
is threatening the operation.
The 25 wolves at the sanctu
ary in mid-December came from
state agencies in Washington
and New York, an abandoned
private animal farm, individuals
and Cornell University.
said he is living off savings that
will soon be exhausted.
Food for the 25 wolves at the
sanctuary comes from neighbor
ing farms. Kuntz explained far
mers are more than willing to
donate dead cattle to the project.
“You’d be surprised how
many cows die around here,” he
said. “So far, feeding the wolves
has been the least of our prob
lems.”
Investigations following re
ported incidents have usually
found the culprit was a wolf-dog
or wolf-coyote cross, Kuntz said.
He said an ultimate goal of
Wolf Haven is to re-introduce
wolves into the wild where they
numbered in the millions dur
ing the early 1800s.
Now the total wolf population
in the lower 48 states is about
1,200, Kuntz said, with another
10,000 estimated in Canada and
Alaska.

Feeding and caring for the
animals, plus the monthly $500
rent for the sanctuary land are
draining the organization’s mea
ger treasury.
Stephen Kuntz, Wolf Haven
president, said all the help at
Wolf Haven is volunteer and
When asked why he got into
the wolf sanctuary business,
Kuntz said it was from love of
the animals. He said he always
has been fascinated by wolves
and once raised one in Col
orado.
Kuntz, who was a home buil
der before coming to Wolf
Haven, seethes at what he con
siders the undeserved bad repu
tation of wolves.

King remembered
55th birthday
CITY STATE.
’ lril! ‘ United Press International
anss .
ryhii One year before it becomes a
Kara lational holiday, the 55th birtli-
enl': jay of slain civil rights leader
rryit dartin Luther King Jr., was
ied! bmmemorated Sunday by his
I H# tidow and other Americans
*ho remembered King’s dream
esla if equality and peace,
ilyll* King, a Baptist minister who
onl ion the Nobel Peace Prize, was
ripj ssassinated April 4, 1968 in
Memphis, Tenn. He would have
i fro: ieen 55 Sunday,
icopi Coretta Scott King, who led
isias he fight for the federal holiday,
sira« yttended a concert of gospel
ory, ousic in the Newark, N.J. Sym-
i slij fhony Hall featuring speeches
iy civic leaders.
erji After King’s death she cre-
heni fed the Atlanta-based Martin
mltf ,uther King, Jr., Center for
iinsi ionviolent Social Change,
r am (hich has since served as the im-
isus !«us for national celebrations
if his birth.

chwi ibirthday cocktail party at the
veri |’ ran d Hyatt Hotel followed by
lerco in evening of music and poetry
iTioj n the I own Hall with readings
nerai !)' Coleen Dewhurst and Gloria
osier.
Civic leaders in Pittsburgh
also resurrected King’s words as
they renamed a Port Authority
Transit of Allegheny County
bus line that opened last Febru
ary the “Martin Luther King, Jr.
East Busway.”
The busway, which excludes
cars and trucks links the down
town with suburbs, “serves and
benefits neighborhood compris
ed of many lower-income fami
lies dependent largely on bus
transportation,” said slate Sena
tor James Romanelli.
In Hartford, Conn., the city’s
Revitalization Corps of Hart
ford hosted a memorial service
in King’s honor as the state pre
pared to celebrate a state holiday
dedicated to the slain civil rights
leader.
State Treasurer Henry Par
ker, the state’s highest elected
black official, said that through
King the nation will honor “the
achievements of all Americans
of all colors who seek the Amer
ica he dreamed of—an America
that lives out the true meaning
of its creed.”
King’s dreams have yet to be
realized. “As I look around . I’m
somewfiat discouraged,’’
Daniels said.
