(AP) — Chocolate from San Francisco, pe cans from Texas and a baking method from Switzerland go into chocolate-chip cookies that were inspired in the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion. Visiting die mansion kilchen when his father, U.S. Sen. Dale Bumpers, was chief executive in the early 1970s, Brent Bumpers watched long-time mansion cook Liza Ashley at her craft. The memory of those cookies stayed with Bumpers, 34, and he started talking about going into the cookie business with his childhood friend and college roommate, Sam DeWitt, 32. In the late 1970s, they became se rious about the project, experiment ing with ingredients and recipes, baking three times a week after hours at a sandwich shop in North Little Rock. The result: Brent & Sam’s Handmade Chocolate Chip Cookies. “We just talked about it kiddingiy, and finally, we started baking,” Bumpers said. “The more we baked, the more serious we got.” There were lots of cookies given away in those days at Bumpers’ law office and at Southwestern Bell where DeWitt worked. The first sales were at stands in the state and federal government of fice buildings near the state Capitol in Little Rock, and at the sandwich shop where they baked. They spent hours experimenting with different types of flour, choco late chips, pecans and baking meth ods. T he two have settled on a recipe that includes Ghirardelli chocolate chips from San Francisco and pecans from Comanche, Texas. The cookies are baked in a Swiss oven with rotat ing racks. The sales volume has grown from about four cases a week — 48 hags — to a couple of hundred cases a week, DeWitt said. Bumpers, an assistant U.S. attorney since 1981, declined to disclose sales figures, but said the company recently exceeded the break-even point. Bumpers and DeWitt were able to convince a Safeway manager to take a chance on the cookies. When they sold well, the doors were opened to other chain stores. fhey admit the price —i from $2.59 to S2.89 for a pound — turns off some people, “The price is high, but wed# have any more markup on iliu cookies than Keehler or Dnno Hines Soft Batch," DeWitt said, 1 labor-intensive.” Lac DeWitt cjnit his job in October work full-time for the cookie b| ness. In May 1986, they opa their own place, where DeWnt pervises cookie production in small rooms.

Biologi$t$ believe endangered fish may come off list ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A fish good for eating mosquitos and a fish good for eating were teetering on the brink of extinction 20 years ago when biologists in New r Mexico and Arizona came to their rescue. The Gila trout and the Gila top- minnow were the victims of habitat degradation and competition from wildly successful non-native fish. Both species were listed as endan gered on March 1 1, 1967. Now', after two decades of recov ery work by the U.S. Fish and Wild life Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Arizona Game and Fish Depart ment and the New Mexico Depart ment of Game and Fish, there is hope. T he two species will be proposed for removal from the federal endan gered species list and downgraded to the threatened category. “We will be proposing a downlist ing this year of both the Gila trout and the Gila topminnow,” said Jim Johnson, chief of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s endangered spe cies office in Albuquerque. “At this point, it seems unlikely that any catastrophy would com pletely extinct either species,” he said. Johnson said the downlisting process usually takes about two years to complete. “I know of no other species in the continental United States that have been downlisted or delisted because of concerted recovery efforts,” he said. Johnson said the downlisting shows the man on the street that en dangered species aren't just put on a list and forgotten. “We are working to recover the spec ies, and it’s nice to be able to sav we have a suctress story that we al most sweated blood over,” Johnson said. “We did sweat. We would carry trout from one stream to another by horseback or your back.” Despite the- success, biologists cau tion that the Gila trout and the Gila topminnow still must Ik* carefully monitored. “In essence, we have met some goals that have more to do with satis fying the bureaucracy than satisfy ing the needs of the fish,” said David Propst, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish endangered s|>ec ies biologist helping the Gila trout. Bean Hendrickson, native fish bi ologist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department, said that although federal criteria for downlisting the Gila topminnow have been met, “we at least have to stay on top of these and watch them very carefully.” The biologists are worried about the ef fect of fluctuations of wet and dry periods on the survival of both species. A wet cycle in New Mexico and Arizona the past eight years has helped the fish, but a drought could dry up streams now providing homes for them, the biologists said. The Gila trout once was wide spread throughout mountain streams in the Gila River Basin of southwestern New Mexico, plus a population introduced in southeast ern Arizona. The Gila topminnow once w'as the most abundant fish in Arizona, and some lived in New Mexico.

(AP) — So phie Weinbaum doesn’t attract much attention, whether she’s sweeping her porch or grocery shop ping in South Beach. Few would guess this nondescript woman in plain clothing and no makeup was a criminal judge in the Soviet Union. The 67-year-old Russian immi grant rarely tells strangers about her life. She never laughs, and seldom smiles. “Who would believe my story?” she asked, standing in the doorway of her modest home. volunteered, the work force came from the courts, she explained. “The trick was not to go to court,” she added. During World War II, there was no discrimination against Jews in Russia, she said. “Everyone was treated the same,” she said. Her position as a judge afforded her special privileges, however.

Born in Vinnitsa, Ukraine, she was educated in jurisprudence at Kiev University. After graduation in 1941, she was appointed a criminal judge in an appeals court in Do netsk. “There was a three-per son jury, but it did noth ing. It was for show pur poses, the same as elections.

For her, that meant the justice ministry. Trials she handled were predeter mined, she said. “There was a three-person jury, but it did nothing,” she said. “It was for show purposes, the same as elec tions. Everyone was already guilty.
