Texas judge holds
court proceedings
for Love Field case
FORT WORTH (AP) — A state
district judge has put on hold a sec
ond session of proceedings on Fort
Worth's lawsuit to block expanded
flights out of Dallas Love Field.
That's after former Texas
Supreme Court justice Ruby Kless
Sondock, appointed by District
Judge Bob McCoy as mediator, said
continuing talks between both par
ties to the lawsuit would be useless.
"To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under
the heaven... A time to keep silence
and a time to speak," McCoy wrote
Monday, quoting Ecclesiastes from
the Old Testament, in canceling
Thursday's session.
Paul Walter, an attorney for Leg
end Airlines, said an out-of-court
settlement would save taxpayers
thousands of dollars in legal bills.
"Judge McCoy, being the opti
mist he is, hopes the parties can
work out their difference outside of
court," he said.
Fort Worth and American Air
lines sued Dallas in October 1997 to
enforce a ban on all but short-haul
commercial passenger flights from
Dallas' in-town airport. The law
suit claimed Dallas violated a 30-
year agreement to build, promote
and protect DFW Airport.
Dee Kelly, lead attorney for Fort
Worth, said it would be difficult to
have any meaningful mediation.
Earlier this month, McCoy ex
tended a June 25 restraining order
that prevented Houston-based
Continental Airlines' long-haul
flights from Love Field. Continen
tal since has agreed to share its two
gates at Love with rival American.

Despite air conditioning, medical officials warn residents of possible heat doSv
realize the seriousness and takelk ^
HOUSTON (AP) — Hospital officials are
warning that sultry Houston could be in for
a deadly summer if residents don't start tak
ing the current heat wave more seriously.
"The heat is dangerous. More dangerous
than people realize," Dr. Janice Zimmerman,
emergency medicine director at Houston's
Ben Taub Hospital, said.
"Family members and friends need to be
checking on the elderly."
Two people have died at Ben Taub from
heat-related illness in the past month.
Four people have been officially listed as
heat-related fatalities so far this summer, but
that could actually be higher because it's not
always easy to tell if heat caused a death.
The statewide toll rose to 81 Monday when
the Dallas County medical examiner's office
ruled that Freddie Johnson, 67, and Constance
Grantors, 83, both found in their homes on
Sunday, had died of heat-related causes.
Twenty-two of the heat deaths have oc
curred in Dallas, where Monday's high hit
101 degrees — the 15th day of century-
mark readings or higher — and forecasters
expect more.
A heat advisory was posted for North
Texas as sheriff's deputies in both Dallas
and Fort Worth went door-to-door to check
on residents.
More than 40 of the deaths were illegal
immigrants who died while attempting to
traverse scorching stretches of South
Texas terrain.
Zimmerman said although Houston has
n't had as many fatalities as other areas, the
heat still should be taken seriously. The city's
humidity, she said, makes people even more
prone to heat illness.
She added that friends and family should
