For some people such activities are just a dream — to others they’re a reality. At a conference sponsored by the MSC Outdoor Recreation Committee, outdoor enthusiasts will bring their realities to those who only have dreamed about such adventure, those who also have experienced it and those who are just curious about it. The Outdoors Horizons Conference will be held today through Saturday and is open to the public. Mike Ritter, chair person of the conference, said some activities are geared for specific types of people, but others should appeal to just about anyone. “There are things anybody can enjoy,” he said. One such activity, he said, is Robert W. Craig’s presentation on his Mount Everest expedition. Craig, a veteran mountaineer, led a group of Americans to the top of Everest in 1983. “This guy is someone anyone would be interested in,” Ritter said. Another activity geared to ward a large audience is “I Saw the Wind,” a presentation by Mark Thompson and Bob Ja mieson. It combines Thomp son’s live music with Jamieson’s stories and photographs taken from their adventures in wil derness areas throughout North America. Ritter said Jamieson and Thompson performed in last year’s conference and over 300 people attended. Activities that are designed for more specific interests in clude a program dealing with problems faced by handicapped people in outdoor recreation, a wilderness first-aid program and a discussion on cave explo ration. The conference also includes two workshops: a river safety and rescue workshop and a rockclimbing workshop. A barbecue held near the end of the conference will give peo ple the chance to talk to the speakers and ask them ques tions, Ritter said. “It’s just a get-together more than anything else,” he said. For $10 one can attend all programs, except the barbecue, and one of the workshops. The programs can also be attended singly by paying fees ranging from 50 cents to $3, depending on the program. The barbecue costs $5. The money is used to help fund the conference. “It’s a break-even type of thing,” Ritter said. The conference will not in clude as many programs as the last two conferences, he said, but this year’s programs will be better. Residents armed in fear of convicts threats were received. Police said no bomb was found at the Dadeland store after the threat by an anonymous caller. Dozens of Cuban-Americans had phoned the department store saying they agree with anti-Fonda commentaries broadcast since Thursday by Salvador Lew, general manager of Spanish-language radio sta tion WRHC. Lew said Fonda, who built a huge physical fitness business with her exercise books and vi deotapes, is “a leftist commu nist,” a “poor patriot.” She said Fonda “betrayed her country’’ by visiting North Vietnam dur ing the Vietnam war. Callers to the department store asked that the appear ances be canceled and threat ened to return their charge cards. United Press International BRISTOL, Tenn. — Fearful residents kept their guns at their sides and grim troopers slogged through rain and snow in the hunt for two desperate convicts who killed a Sunday school teacher and fled into the mountains of East Tennessee. The FBI entered the search for Ronald Freeman, 41, and James Clegg, 30, concentrated in the mountains around Bris tol, where Clegg once lived. State troopers set up roadb locks and checked out dozens of possible sightings of the fugi tives, armed with a shotgun and at least four pistols. “There is a good possibility the convicts might be in the area,” Highway Patrol Lt. Jen nings Stroud said. “We’ve had one report that they were spotted in a wood shed and another that they were in a barn or a chicken house. We have nothing con crete at this time but some of these leads seem legitimate.” “If anybody rings my door bell my gun will be in my hand,” said Keith Venable, a retired Bristol police dispatcher. “I just hope my neighbor doesn’t come knocking on my door. This is the most hairy situation we’ve had in this area as far back as I can remember. These guys have nothing to lose.” “It’s dangerous to be out here,” Highway Patrol trooper Jack Combs said at a roadblock. “I saw one man earlier carrying an armload of wood in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Heavy snow and rain kept helicopters on the ground and limited visibility from patrol cars. A U.S. magistrate in Mem phis issued warrants charging the men with unlawful flight, al lowing the FBI to join in the hunt. Freeman, serving 198 years for killing his wife and step daughter, and Clegg, serving life as a habitual criminal, were among five prisoners who picked up pistols left for them in a work field and escaped from Fort Pillow Saturday. One of the fugitives was ar rested Sunday hitchhiking down a highway near Memphis; another surrendered after a an elderly woman fed him and talked to him of Jesus, and a third was believed to have tied the stale in a stolen car. But Freeman and Clegg, each armed with a pistol, climbed out of a hole where they had hidden for two days on Paul Windrow’s farm near Brownsville, Tenn., Tuesday and killed the 59-year-old re tired businessman and Sunday school teacher while he was gril ling steaks in his backyard. Fears that the convicts might be nearby led Windrow to tuck a .45 caliber pistol in his belt when he went outside. The con victs shot him when he pulled out the gun as they approached, officials said. They abducted his wife Eliza beth, 57, and drove 400 miles across the state, leaving her un harmed near Knoxville. They told Mrs. Windrow they would never be captured alive and got into a car officials believed was driven by a woman accomplice. A nationwide alert was issued and Deputy Safety Commis sioner Billy Jones said law en forcement agents were autho rized to shoot to kill. “I really hope we get them before they kill somebody else,” Trooper Byron Farmer said.
