It’s big, it’s
bronze and it’s
finished
CALIFORNIA, Pa. (AP) — Alan
Cottrill says he thinks big, lives big
and works big. He proved the latter
with a 40-foot sculpture unveiled
over the weekend at California
University of Pennsylvania.
The artwork, titled “The Ascent of
Humanity,” consists of 15 bronze and
polyester figures ranging from CroMagnon man to a woman astronaut.
The figures appear to be climbing a
network of vines that climb the wall
of a building on the university’s cam
pus in Washington County.
“It’s a reminder that we are in the
human-development business,” said
Angelo Armenti Jr., the university’s
president.
Cottrill used a blend of bronze
powder and polyester resin since a
solid bronze piece would have been
Ipo heavy and too expensive. The art
work weighs only about a ton, despite
its size.
Cottrill has worked full-time on
the sculpture for the last two years,
and put in seven-day weeks for the
last five months to finish the piece in
time for the university’s commence
ment over the weekend.
Now he’s looking ahead to new
challenges.
“Few artists have ever attempted
anything this size,” he said. “But I
can work bigger.”
Taxi etiquette

NEW YORK (AP) — Do forgive
the intrusion, Mr. Cab Driver, but
would you be so kind as to inform us
of your feelings with regard to the
city’s request that you and your
brethren learn to address customers
more politely?
“You riding, or talking?” demanded
one taxi driver, co rner^ at a traffic
light Monday.
Um, talking.
“Then I’m riding,” he replied, and
sped off in search of a paying cusJomer.
So maybe it’s not such a bad thing
that the Taxi and Limousine
Commission is asking New York
City’s cab drivers to learn 50 new, nice
things to say, such as: “Thank you for
hailing me,” “Please let me take your
bags” and “Is there any particular
route you would like today?”
Í' Of course, some New Yorkers,
accustomed to unmitigated rudeness
Jix)m their taxi drivers, are likely to
respond with some phrases of their
own, like “Hey, what are you — a
wiseguy or something?”
Barbara Schechter, the commis
sion’s director of licensing, said that
New York’s cabbies, despite their rep
utation, are not intentionally discour
teous; they just don’t know how to
speak English well.

WASHINGTON (AP) - William
E. Colby was a professional spy and
a man of contradictions. He was
denounced as a war criminal over
CIA assassinations in Vietnam. But
he was fired as CIA director after
advocating a retreat from cloak-anddagger operations.
The contradictions followed him
to the end. He was an avid outdoorsman but he died, apparently by
drowning, while canoeing on a
familiar river. He was 76.
Colby’s body was found washed
up Monday on a sandbar of the
Wicomico River not far from his
southern Maryland vacation home,
eight days afier his empty canoe was
found nearby. A state official said
there was no sign of foul play.
Colby was dismissed as CIA
director 20 years ago, after 3Vi years,
by President Ford. Since then, he had
promoted a nuclear freeze and big
cuts in the military budget.
“The Cold War is over, and the
m il i t ^ threat is now far less,” he
said in a 1992 ad. “It’s time to cut our
military budget by 50 percent and to
invest that money in our schools, our
health care and our economy.”
For the past week, while
searchers looked for him in the
Wicomico, near where it empties
VIRGINIA

William Colby’s
body found
AP/Wm. J. Castell
into the Potomac, his widow, Sally
Shelton-Colby, had refused to accept
the assumption that he had drowned.
After she identified the body on
Monday, she thanked the searchers
and said her husband had left the
world a better place.
“There wasn’t much that was left
undone for him,” she said. “He
fought fascism and communism and
lived to see democracy take hold in
the world.”
President Clinton said in a state
ment, “Through a quarter of a centu
ry at the CIA, William Colby played
a pivotal role in shaping our nation’s
intelligence community. ... He made
tough decisions when necessary —
and he was always guided by the
core values of the country he loved.”
CIA Director John Deutch said,
“He faced up to severe challenges
with openness and integrity.”
Former President Bush said, “My
friendship for Bill Colby goes back
many years; but it was in 1976, when
I followed him as director of central
intelligence, that I experienced his
thorough professionalism and gained
the utmost respect for his personal
courage.
Colby was perfectly cast as a spy:
colorless, soft-spoken, precise and
thin. He fit this published descrip
tion: “Mr. Colby never seems to have
a hair or an emotion out of place.”
Even Colby said, in his 1978
memoir, that he was “the traditional
gray man, so inconspicuous that he
can never catch the waiter’s eye in a
restaurant.”
But Colby was fired on Nov. 2,
1975, as head of the CIA after being
accused of talking too much. He was
said to have been too candid in testi
mony to congressional investigators;
he had long ago aroused the ire of the
agency’s old guard for trying to
channel more effort into the gadiering, evaluation and analysis of infor
mation and less into covert opera
tion.
Two months after the firing. Ford
honored Colby with the National
Security Medal, citing his “outstand
ing contribution in the field of intel
ligence.”
Colby was bom Jan. 4, 1920, in
St. Paul, Minn., the son of a career
Army officer. He moved from post to
post, eventually graduating from
Princeton University with a Phi Beta
Kappa key in 1940.
He enrolled in Columbia
University Law School but left after
a year to become an army para
chutist. He answered a call for
French-speaking volunteers and

SAYRE — “This is a happy and
momentous occasion,” said Reedes
Hurt, director of the Wilkes-Barre
Veterans Administration Medical
Clinic at the official ground-breaking
ceremony held Monday on Elmira
Street in Sayre for the construction of
a new veterans clinic.
“The Sayre Outpatient Clinic was
an overnight success and has had 12
years of support and acceptance from
the community at large, but we have
outgrown the Guthrie facility,” he
said.
He told gathered guests and digni
taries that the new clinic would
“enable us to take care of more veter
ans,” as well as offer more space for
the addition of more staff in the
future. “That’s the key,” he said.
Leonard Pallis, director of
Veterans Affairs in Wyoming County
for the last 20 years, said the new
facility would be much easier for
many veterans to get to.
“They are 75 years of age now and
getting pains and aches,” he said.
“The new clinic will be able to care
for more veterans when it’s complete.
Right now, Wilkes-Barre (clinic) han
dles 23 counties.”
In his talk. Dr. John Wilt, chief
medical officer for the Sayre Veterans

Towanda supports building project
BY RICK JENNINGS
News Editor
TOWANDA — Towanda Borough
last night pledged its support for a
proposed office building, which
would be constructed on the 700
block of Main Street here.
The Central Bradford County
Economic Development Authority
has proposed to state and federal
authorities the plan of constructing a
building to house government agen
cies.
The authority would procure loans
to finance the proposed $3.6 million
project. Borough manager Tom
Fairchild explained that the rent col
lected from the agencies would retire
the authority’s debt and pay for build
ing maintenance.
Towanda Borough and Wysox,
Towanda and North Towanda town
ships are members of the authority,
which would be the owner of the
building.
The borough council approved a
resolution amending the use of a
$175,000 state grant for the project.
The funds were previously procured
for a parking structure plan, which
won’t be implemented.
“The $175,00 is really an incen

SAYRE — If it hasn’t been one
thing, it’s been another lately in the
lives of Gerald and Ruth Thompson
and their daughter, Cindy, of Sayre.
An accident they were involved in
on Jan. 19 of this year left Gerald and
Cindy injured and put Ruth in the hos
pital with a broken collar bone.
“You just wonder what else could
go wrong,” Ruth fretted Monday
afternoon. She was standing with
Gerald and Cindy in front of a neigh
bor’s house three doors down from
their 307 Chemung St. address.
Just a few houses away smoke bil
lowed from her home, where Athens
and Sayre firemen, many of them
wearing breathing apparatus, hurried
in and out of her front door with
^uipm ent and across her lawn carry
ing ladders to set up against the side
of her house.
The Thompsons said they had
been at their residence visiting with
relatives who had stopped by when
they all began smelling smoke. After
discovering where it was coming
from, in a room off their kitchen
where their refrigerator and dryer are
located, they called the fire depart
ment.
“I don’t know what happened,”
Ruth said. “It seems to have started
around the dryer, which is next to the
refrigerator, but it wasn’t being used
at the time.”
“Good thing we was home,”
Gerald Thompson said quietly while
watching all the activity around him.
“Good thing.”
Firemen found smoke billowing
from the roof’s eaves and fire making
crackling sounds in the walls when
they arrived just minutes after the
Thompsons placed the 1:48 p.m. call.
Fire had worked its way to the
attic of the two-story structure, where
the firemen were forced to smash a
hole through the roof to ventilate the
smoke.
“The house, which was insured,
received extensive fire, smoke and
water damage,” said Assistant Fire
Chief Don Schrader of the Sayre Fire
Department.
He said that the cause of the fire
was undetermined and that the fire
marshal would be arriving Tuesday to
continue the investigation.
The Valley Chapter of the
American Red Cross was also called
in to the scene to help the family.
“Their bedroom was completely
destroyed,” said Linda Shoemaker
ftom the Valley chapter, located in
Waverly. “They are an elderly couple
and their daughter has special needs.”
She said that when she arrived to
see what could be dorre to help the
family, “Ruth kept repeating over and
over that she had lost her Santa Claus
collection. She had been collecting
them her whole life.”
The Red Cross arranged for the
family to spend the night at the
Guthrie Inn, located in Sayre. “We
also gave them vouchers for food,”
Ms. Shoemaker said.
Fire departments responding to
the scene were Sayre and Athens with
Athens Township covering the Valley
in its absence. The Greater Valley
Ambulance service also responded.
Sayre and Athens fire departments
were back in service by 4 p.m.
