NEWS IN BRIEF
U.S.-Russian-Dutch crew
begins two-day journey to
international space station
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP)— A Russian-
American-Dutch crew blasted into orbit
Monday aboard a Russian spacecraft en route
to the international space station on the third
manned mission since the U.S. shuttle pro
gram was halted.
American Michael Fincke, Russian command
er Gennady Padalka and Andre Kuipers of the
Netherlands, representing the European Space
Agency, waved farewell before boarding the
Soyuz TMA-4 spacecraft.
“Until we meet again,” Padalka shouted, giving
a V-for-Victory sign. Fincke flashed a thumbs up,
while Kuipers held up a clenched fist.
Relatives and friends, standing with Russian
and U.S. space officials at Russia’s Baikonur
launch pad in the desolate steppes of
Kazakhstan, craned their necks and squinted in
the sunshine to follow the rocket’s trajectory
after it took off.
The spacecraft was due to reach theiiflf
tional space station on Wednesday
Some fear school safety
getting less attention
DENVER (AP)— When 16-year-oWj
Fitzpatrick walked into his Spokane,!
high school last fall and fired a shot into a®
room wall, authorities quickly responded^
School officials evacuated 2,000 stu
within 15 minutes of the first 911 cal
team had contained the teenager^
chemistry lab.
Although the Spokane school was*
pared, experts warned as the five-year*
sary of the Columbine High School r
approached Tuesday that the focus (
security has declined.
Even in Colorado, some schools to
lowed up on recommendations, and t
prevention programs has diminished,
