(AP) - A man reported Wednesday that his dog found a small human skull in this rural area about 30 miles from where a nine-year- old Virginia girl disappeared last month, police said. Authorities — including a contingent from Henry County, Va., where officials have been hunting for Jennifer Short since Aug. 15 — quickly descended on the site. Dogs were brought in to look for the rest of the remains. The skull "appears to be from somebody young," said Jeannie Justice, a spokes woman for the Sheriff's Office in Rockingham County. Jennifer Short disappeared almost six weeks ago. Officials believe the girl was kidnapped after her parents were slain in their Bassett, Va. home. For days after Jennifer's dis appearance, authorities combed the rolling hills behind her parents' house on horse back and four-wheelers. Search dogs only picked up the girl's scent in the house and the neighboring convenience store, where the family regularly shopped. Drillin’ Volume Id IP BI ATO III • THE BATTALION At the woodshop in the Langford building, Melissa Campbell, senior environmental design major, uses a drill press to create holes in a metal plane for her ARCH 406 studio design class. The metal will be used as part of her final project. “Body piercing saved my life." Not a pierced ear, nose, navel or tongue ... but pierced hands and feet. And not as a fashion statement ... but as a sacrifice for you and me. Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was brutally nailed to a cross-crucified. Why did he suffer? Why did he die such a cruel death? So we wouldn’t have to. Because he loves us. “But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities; The punishment that brought us peace was upon him. And by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 (New International Version) And now here’s rhe real good news: he’s alive today! God is reaching out to people through His son. Jesus Christ.

(AP) — An Illinois fighter pilot contends in a letter that the government is trying to scapegoat him and his flight leader for an accidental bombing in Afghanistan that killed four Canadian soldiers and injured eight. The letter being circulated by supporters of Maj. Harry Schmidt says “many are responsible” for the April 17 bombing. Schmidt and Maj. William Umbach face charges of invol untary manslaughter and aggra vated battery stemming from a mission near Kandahar. Schmidt dropped a 500-pound bomb after seeing ground fire he said he thought was hostile and a danger to Umbach’s plane. It actually came from live-fire exercises by Canadian soldiers. The pilots are members of the 183rd Fighter Wing of: Illinois Air National Guard. Schmidt did not return phone call seeking elabora on the letter. His lawyer, Chat’ Gittins of Middletown declined comment. A spokeswoman at ° Force headquarters at Bar Air Force Base in LouisiJ denied that the men are unfairly targeted. Ifconvicte' all counts, each faces up years in prison. “We want to see what'- wrong. It can be painful. 11 be very emotional.
