The chalice; the ciborium, which j holds the communion wafers; the flagon, which holds the wine; and the paten, a plate from which the bread is offered during Mass, were at smacks of " • commissioned by the Roman Catho lic Archdiocese of San Antonio. Shaped from silver and gold, the vessels also include Hill Country limestone from the Guadalupe River lulls!!» near Kerrville. The Rev. Greg Nevuld, in July i litigator wiih when announcing the project, said, inglon, Coke "We wanted to use native craftsmen lhal, saidshm and native elements to create these :n have not be hoellkopfs sec esn't involve In omfortablev: las women -male le clubs. ■ any women v: ess in Dallas ki t haven’t been; special pieces.

We wanted the things he used here to reflect Texas and the Southwest.” Avery, known for Christian- oriented jewelry designs, was ap proached by Nevuld on behalf of the archdiocese. Two of Avery’s senior “Each place he (the pope) visits in America will give him a different flavor of our country. We wanted the things he used here to reflect Texas and the Southwest. ” — The Rev. Greg Nevuld designers, Dennis Barecky and Tay lor, shepherded the project. Barecky, who did the major de sign work, said use of four interwo ven cords carved into the limestone represents the four corners of the Earth and Christianity being carried to them. The limestone rings the upper part of the stem of the chalice and is repeated in other parts of the cibo rium and flagon. Avery said of the pattern, “It’s continuous. There is no beginning, no end. It is a symbol of God’s one ness. “We wanted them to be significant in scale, but not to the point they’re cumbersome.” The chalice stands 9*/2 inches tall; the flagon, 9 s /4 inches; and the cibo rium, G'/a inches. The paten is 8 inches in diameter to hold the 5-inch diameter host the pope will use during the Mass, which is expected to draw 500,000 people. Cost to the archdiocese will be about $7,000, Avery said. With the 200 to 300 hours put into the pro ject, Avery valued the vessels at $20,000 to $25,000. “After they’re consecrated, they would be priceless,” Avery said. He said his company probably will cre ate a duplicate set from less precious metals for display, but not for sale. The original vessels will remain with the San Antonio Archdiocese after the Mass and will be placed on exhibit and possibly used for special occasions, Nevuld said. Barecky said he will suffer a de gree of anxiety about his creation until the Mass adjourns. “My biggest worry is that the pope would pick it up and the bottom would fall out,” he said. notner C' Controlled burning of forest ctafo continue through week 1 disagree with less is done, c inking ho was am( admitted to Club this laying, "Old tn: HUNTSVILLE (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service plans to continue the controlled burning of forest areas Idamaged by insect-infestations through the week, a spokesman said Monday. Forest officials on Sunday began burning about 100 facres of thick underbrush in the Four Notch area of |Sam Houston National Forest. The operation resumed Monday with plans to burn up to 1,000 more acres, ; weather permitting, spokesman Hal Classman said. A total of about 2,500 acres will be burned and the operation could last three to five more days, Classman said. The burning is part of a reforestation program and is intended to rid the area of underbrush and dead and dying vegetation. Following the burn, the area would be replanted, mosdy likely in January or later, Classman said. The first step, chopping damaged trees, began in April 1986 amid protests by environmentalists. Some protesters chained themselves to trees in a futile effort to stop a 52-ton machine from ripping down timber damaged in the early 1980s by Southern pine beetles. Only two activists turned out Sunday at a new confer ence in New Waverly, south of Huntsville, to protest the burning. Classman said he knew of no protests staged Monday morning. The length of the operation will depend on the amount of rain in the area, he said. Too much or too little moisture could hamper their efforts. “Conditions for prescribed burning are very scien tific — we need the rain, we need the ground mois ture,” he said. “If you burn and it’s too dry, it could get out of hand.” )le.
