Specific terms of the Dallas deal
were not disclosed, but Buzzetta
said, “A substantial amount of cash
and stock was involved in the trans
action.”
Buzzetta said DTH Media Inc.
will have a controlling interest while
MediaNews will retain a financial in
terest in the newspaper and will re
main a stockholder.
“The Dallas Times Herald is cur
rently showing a healthy annual op
erating profit,” Buzzetta said in a
statement.
“We’re buying a winner and we
intend to operate the Dallas Times
Herald in the proud tradition that
has kept it successful for more than
100 years,” he said.
Buzzetta said no layoffs are
planned in the Times Herald news
room.
In his statement, Buzzetta said he
would become publisher of the
newspaper and Art Wible, publisher
since 1985, had agreed to leave.
Singleton issued a statement say
ing, “The proposal was attractive
enough financially that it had to be
considered seriously.”
Earlier reports said Singleton was
negotiating to sell the paper for
$140 million.
Two weeks ago, the Dallas Morn
ing News and the Dallas Times
Herald agreed to drop lawsuits filed
against each other concerning paid
circulation figures.
Latest figures released through
the Audit Bureau of Circulation for
the six months ended Sept. 30, 1986,
showed the Times Herald’s daily cir
culation was 246,370 and the Morn
ing News’ was 390,987. On Sunday,
the Times Herald’s reported paid
circulation was 338,963, and the
Morning News reported 531,417.

■ GROVETON (AP) — The Rain
bow Family was opening additional
sjies for members planning a Fourth
of July peace gathering, but federal
officials Wednesday said the group
may be “playing games.”
B A Rainbow Family member
known as Alabama said two new sites
will hold an overflow as the back-to-
nature group arrives and a Groveton
camp was being prepared.
J U.S. Forest Service spokesman
Gay Ippolito said Forest Service per
sonnel continue to patrol the area on
Forest Road 583 in the Davy Crock
ett National Forest and are “mon
itoring the situation.”
I “We are monitoring things over
all,” Ippolito said. “If they move, we
will move too in order to administer
the site.
“Right now, we’re not sure what’s
going on” concerning the family’s
possible move.
H The group does not foresee any
problems with the Davy Crockett
forest area at Groveton, Alabama
said, and family members believe the
site will be able to accommodate the
annual Gathering of the Tribes.
The Forest Service placed a gate
across the north end of the forest
road, saying the barrier was put up
to protect an elderly woman who
owns property near the site.
The Rainbow Family reported
that two Groveton men pulled the
gate down Friday night and dragged
it a mile away.
Alabama said the group has the
support of Groveton merchants who
do not want the Forest Service “gov
ernment bureaucrats to hassle us.”
Trinity County officers said they
have not determined who pulled the
gate down, and no arrests were
made in the incident. Another gate
has been set up.
Deputies have made some arrests
for public intoxication and disor
derly conduct.
One Rainbow Family member was
arrested for public nudity Sunday.
Officers said ne will be extradited to
California where he is wanted on a
drug charge. Deputies arrested two
more family members for disorderly
conduct late Monday.
U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice’s ruling on the injunc
tion opened the way for the group to
meet “pretty much where they want
to,” Ippolito said.
But, she said, the ruling also
pointed out that the Forest Service
can enforce laws against disorderly
conduct, public intoxication and
public nudity, as well as other of
fenses.

AUSTIN (AP) — A Tarrant

A of Criminal Appeals,

According to court records, the
town, he said Fielders engaged in bondage and
st of the blast tdiscipline games during their three-
the main r year marriage. Judge Chuck Miller’s
majority opinion said evidence
showed Mrs. Fielder “initially con
sented” to the activities.
| “These games, however, even
tually crossed into the realm of what
ould clearly be, to the average per-
on, a nightmare of sado-masoch-
sm,” Miller said.

Evidence at the trial included
equipment such as handcuffs, whips
and other items used by the Fielders.
Testimony showed they had a closet,
which they called “the cave,” that
Fielder had equipped with equip
ment for bizarre sex acts.
Mrs. Fielder testified that, despite
the unusual sexual activity, she and
her husband had had a normal mar
riage for several years. Miller said
evidence showed the Fielders were
pursuing their careers and “socializ
ing with the country club set.”
Mrs. Fielder said she shot her hus
band in a scuffle that occurred after
they decided to divorce.
Miller said in his opinion that the
divorce was complicated because
Fielder did not want anyone to know
about his bizarre sexual tastes.
Prosecutors claimed Mrs. Fielder
killed Darwin because she found out
he was involved with another
woman. They also claimed Mrs.
Fielder willingly participated in the
unusual sexual activity with her hus
band.
The conviction was reversed be
cause the trial judge had barred
some testimony from Beatrice Math-
eeny, a marriage and family coun
selor called as a defense witness.
She was not allowed to offer an
opinion based solely on hypothetical
questions posed by the defense.

didn’t realize how much I was
I harming my body. When I looked
in the mirror, all I saw was fat. I didn’t
think there was anything wrong with what
I was doing. I just wanted to be thin and
beautiful.
I promised myself this would be my last
binge. Tomorrow I would stick to my diet.
But it kept happening again. And again.
No one knew the terrible game I was
playing with myself. Not my parents. Not
even my best friend.
Until Mom and Dad noticed how un
happy I was. Then they knew I had a
problem. They risked confronting me. I
denied I had a problem.
But I knew it was a lie.
I saw how my obsession had hurt my
relationships with my friends and my
family. I wasn’t close to anyone anymore. I
didn’t trust anyone. I felt so alone.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was tired
of spending my life constantly obsessed
with food.
That was the worst part. Discovering
the physical effects of what I’d been
doing. I never thought binging and
purging was doing such serious damage.
I’m lucky my family got me help.
If you or someone you know is in

cessively, or has other symptoms of an
eating disorder, call us.
You’re not alone.
