March 7, 1999 WYOMING AND THE WEST Casper Star-Tribune B3 Roaming elk hopped up on malted barley By COLEMAN CORNELIUS Associated Press ESTES PARK, Colo. Addicts are wandering the streets of this mountain tourist town. But unlike most, these have four legs: They're elk. The critters are at the center of a town quarrel that's been fermenting for several years, ever since the Estes Park Brewery began allowing the wildlife to eat malted barley left over from its beer pro cess. The microbrewery dumps its waste grain into a trailer, attracting dozens of elk that munch it like eager cattle at a feed trough.

The mash is not alcoholic, but it's addictive to the game that winter in and around Estes Park, locals and wildlife officials said. "I haven't seen them staggering, but they're definitely hooked on it," said Rick Spowart, district wildlife manager for the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The situation elicits chuckles and jokes about drunk elk, but it's a serious problem, Spowart and others said. That's because feeding big game is illegal in Colorado. And the grain-crazed elk routinely cross U.S.

TECH (307) 234-9921 THE CORPORATION BRAUN LOS ANGELES (AP) Scientists fought to regain control of a NASA satellite Saturday that spun out of control after being launched. The Wide-Field Infrared Explorer, or Wire, has been spinning at a rate of once a second since its launch Thursday night apparently caused by the thruster-like action of hydrogen gas venting from a cryogenic system used to keep the satellite's telescope extremely cold. The cause of the problem was unknown, said Lynn Jenner, spokeswoman at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Ground controllers were in contact with the spacecraft and remained optimistic about saving the $67 million mission, which was designed to help scientists understand how and when galaxies formed, and the history of star formation.

"The subsystems are in good shape," Jim Watzin, a project manager in NASA's Small Ex- plorer program, said in a statement. "The solar arrays are geherating power and the battery is fully charged. We have plenty of power to effect a recovery. The 4-foot-long telescope was built by Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory. Ground controllers are a'ttempting to build a software program that would use the spacecraft's onboard altitude control system to "de-spin" the spacecraft, but it would take several days to develop, Watzin said.

Wire has no thrusters to control the way it points, instead using devices called magnetic torque rods, which operate much more gently. The torque rods were turned on Friday but were too weak to counteract the spinning, officials said. When the craft was launched, the hydrogen was frozen solid. The hydrogen was supposed to melt and vent gradually, keeping the telescope cold through a four-month mission. Utah criminal justice system criticized as racially biased CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) Utah's criminal justice system treats Indians and others from ethnic minorities as second class citizens, Iron County residents told a task force investigating the system's fairness.

The hearing was hosted Friday at the Paiute Tribal Office by The Utah Task Force on Racial and Ethnic Fairness in the Legal System. It was commissioned by the Judicial Council in 1996. Few escaped criticism as residents talked of bad treatment from public defenders, police and school officials. Those who addressed the task force said the lack of communication between minorities and the predominantly white population feed a cycle of misunderstandings, frustration and anger. The speakers were assigned numbers to protect their anonymity.

"We came from Nevada and we were friends with cops there but the school district here automatically stereotyped my son as a gangbanger just because we are from Nevada," said one woman. "I hate the school district here so much that I pulled my son out and sent him back to Nevada to finish school." One man said Indians are pegged as troublemakers. "There was one instance where everybody was slam dancing at the school, football players, cheerleaders and two Indian boys, they were all told to stop and didn't, but only the two Indian boys were taken out," the speaker continued. He also described what he considered harassment by the CARD OF THANKS The Family of NANCY T. WHITE wishes to express their sincerest thanks to everyone for their concern and support during her illness.

Thank you for your prayers, food visits and telephone calls, beautiful flowers, cards and memorials. A special thanks to all the doctors and their staffs who cared for Nancy, and to the staff of the 5th floor Wyoming Medical Center who were so kind and compassionate. To the nurses and volunteers of Central Wyoming Hospice Program, we truly appreciate all of your care and support. Nancy will be missed, but we will always cherish the memories she left behind. Bob and Cindy Utah Highway Patrol.

"One time they pulled me over and said they did because they had a report that a red car was passing people on the freeway. What kind of reason is that?" One woman described how an officer in Cedar City stopped her two days after she arrived in town from Las Vegas 13 years ago. "He pulled me over and asked what I was doing in town and I've had problems with him ever since," she said. Other speakers discussed problems they had with the court system and public defenders. One woman described poor communication.

"When my son was in trouble, they didn't take into consideration that he had a learning disability," she said. "There is no cultural representation for Native Americans. We need to get educated and get some kind of legal system here for our people." Dan Maldonado, the assistant director of the Division of Youth Corrections and a task force member, said the three points he heard most often were that police profile minorities, defense attorneys give poor representation and minorities need help understanding their Chris Martinez, president of Image de Utah, suggested regular forums so police officers, lawyers, judges and teachers can educate minorities on their rights. To our beloved mother "Maria Teresa Sialer de Arana (1918-1997) It has been two years since your departure to Heaven and although we still miss your laughter and joy, the wonderful memories of all the years we shared have given us the strength to remember your spirit in a very special way.
