DENVER — Randy Rash's steer. Flipper, won the
grand champion award at the National Western
Stock Show and became the Texas youth's ticket to
p|lege.
Lombardi Bros., a meatpacker, and Paul's Place, a
restaurant, on Monday paid $30,500 for Flipper, a
1284-pound Maine Anjou steer, raised by Rash, an
18-year-old from Crockett, Texas.
; "I've raised market steers for eight years, but it's
toing to be hard to let go of Flipper, because he's the
tetl ever had," Rash said.
The $30,500 sale price is the second highest ever
paid for a grand champion steer at the Junior Live
stock Auction of Champions, one of the highlights of
ihe stock show.
The normal price would be about $1,027.
Rash donated $1,000 to the National Western
Scholarship Fund and plans to use the rest to go to
Texas A&M to study law and become a politician.
It marked the second straight year Lombardi Bros.,
aad Paul's Place made the high bid for the grand
champion steer.
Joaquin Crego of Fort Collins sold the grand
champion lamb for $5,500 to Gasamat, a perennial
buyer at the grand champion sale.
Jennifer Holt, owner of the Rattlesnake Ranch in
Wyoming, paid $5,300 for the grand champion hog,
owned by 17-year-old Jennifer Bullard of Elmore
City, Okla.
The auction is a popular way for businesses and
individuals to encourage and reward the efforts of
the next generation of stock raisers, and many buy
ers traditionally donate the animals back to the Na
tional Western Scholarship Fund.
"It is the kind of charity where you see where the
dollars are going," said Holt.
Results of the auctioning of reserve grand champi
ons:
— The reserve grand champion steer, owned by
Jon Wosje of Milford, Mich., sold for $7,000 to Col
orado Rockies baseball club.

NEW YORK - Memo to
moody adolescents: If you think
everything has been going
wrong lately, you may be on to
something. Researchers have
found new evidence that one rea
son life is so unhappy for many
young adolescents is that they
face a bumper crop of distressing
events.
What's more, adolescents
seem to be thrown more by a
pileup of bad events than
younger kids are. Evidence for
this double-whammy in early
adolescence is presented in Janu
ary's issue of the journal Devel
opmental Psychology by Reed
Larson of the University of Illi
nois in Urbana and Mark Ham of
the Human Development Center
in Duluth, Minn.
The work supports earlier
studies, commented child devel
opment expert Jeanne Brooks-
Gunn of Columbia University in
New York, adding that even pos
itive events may contribute to an
adolescent's emotional turmoil.
Puberty and the transition to
junior high also generally con
tribute, noted Dr. Daniel Offer,
director of adolescent research at
Northwestern Medical School.
He and Ham studied 483 stu
dents in fifth through ninth
grades. They were drawn from
four predominantly white neigh
borhoods in two Chicago sub
urbs that Larson declined to
identify. The students wore a
beeper for a week. When it
beeped at random times, they
recorded their moods on scales
ranging from happy to unhappy,
friendly to angry and cheerful to
irritable.
Negative events included
things like worsening relation
ships with parents and siblings,
being disciplined in school,
changing schools, breaking up
with a boyfriend or girlfriend
and falling out with a close
friend or group of friends.
