Mudslides in Colorado
isolate residents insidtjp
DENVER (AP) — Heavy
rains sent full-grown trees, mas
sive boulders and rivers of mud
rushing across charred hillsides
in southwestern Colorado on
Wednesday, isolating hundreds
of residents in their homes for the
second time in less than a week.
No one was in immediate
danger but roads near Durango
were blocked by debris 10 feet
high and boulders weighing sev
eral tons apiece, said La Plata
County sheriff’s Lt. Dan Bender.
“What used to be a pine for
est next to an upscale home is
now a gaping hole and a boulder
field,” Bender said.
across several properties as the
mudslides literally changed the
course of creeks. Bender said.
Mudslides hit the same area
Saturday. At least five families
had to leave their homes
because of the damage, and
another 12 families had heavy
debris inside their homes.
The burned landscape is
espec tally susceptible to mud
slides because there is little
vegetation to hold the soil in
place.
Residents say the mudslides
are one more nightmare in a
summer marked by disaster.

hell.” said Shirley Andersen, who

Study shows that surgery
(AP) - For the first time, a study clearly shows
that surgery for early prostate cancer can reduce
the chance of dying from the disease, cutting the
risk almost in half.
The question of whether to remove cancerous
prostates in early-stage disease has been debated
because the cancer typically
grows slowly and strikes older
men. who may die of other caus
es before it spreads.
Moreover, removal of the
prostate — a doughnut-shaped prostatectomy tlittiinislu

gland which surrounds the male
urethra — can cause serious side
effects, including impotence and
incontinence.
In the latest study, conducted
on 695 men in Sweden. Finland
and Norway, the risk of dying
from prostate cancer fell from 9
percent to 5 percent during the
six years after surgery.
However, deaths from all causes were similar
between the men who got prostate surgery and
those who did not. The researchers said it could
have been a matter of chance that those who
escaped cancer death were somewhat more likely
to die of other things.
“We now have better evidence that radical
prostatectomy diminishes your risk of prostate
cancer recurrence. And so we have a possibility to
alter the natural course of the disease by radical
surgery,” said Dr. Lars Holmberg, lead author for
the paper.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Revels sued last month,
claiming she was forced to give
up her crown in July when a
former boyfriend told pageant
officials he had two topless
snapshots of her. Misty Clymer,
the first runner-up, then
assumed the title.
Fox said Wednesday he would
try to make a decision Thursday
afternoon, after closing argu
ments in Revels' case. The pag
eant ends Sept. 21.
George Bauer, interim presi
dent of the Miss America
Organization, said after the
hearing that Revels would not
be removed immediately,
despite the expiration of the
state order Wednesday night.
