Wednesday, April 21, 2004 4A Iowa City Press-Citizen RECORDS Obituaries Ducks Rape He said his friend left and he continued to kiss and cuddle the woman. He said the woman unzipped his pants but he ejaculated, preventing him from having intercourse. When her roommates arrived home, Christian said he did not leave right away. "I wanted them to wake (the woman) up so she could tell them who I was," he said. Christian faces a maximum 10 years in prison on the sex abuse charge and 25 years on the burglary, if convicted.

A Johnson County jury acquitted him on an unrelated rape case in December. to Mercy Hospital for treatment and evidence collectioa Semen, later matched to Christian, was found inside her underwear. Christian testified he saw the woman trip and fall on a curb outside her apartment complex as they walked south on Johnson Street Christian, who said he was with a friend, approached the woman and asked if she was OK At that point, he said, the woman invited them to her apartment where the three talked and watched TV in the living room The two continued talking then started kissing, Christian said. Firefighters investigate blaze Firefighters are investigating a suspicious fire that caused minimal damage to an Iowa City auto repair service early Tuesday. At 2:51 firefighters responded to Ed Harney Auto Service, 404 S.

Van Buren St Upon arrival, fire crews observed smoke coming from an outbuilding near the business' main structure. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire located on an exterior wall of the building. Damage was estimated at $500. There were no injuries. From 3A had interrupted, Staed said.

However, Staed said the woman did not have a boyfriend and was not known to bring men home. "We were really scared because something was obviously wrong," Staed said, adding that they later discovered the woman's pants were pulled down. Staed said the man left after trying to explain he was there to help the woman The woman went From 3A where they can find a secluded spot" Ducks will venture as fat as two miles away from their river habitat to nest Thompson said. Within 24 hours of hatching, the baby ducks will find their way back to the water, he said. The ducks line their 1-foot-wide nests with down feathers from mother ducks' chests to protect the cream-colored eggs, which are about the size of ax chicken egg.

Planter boxes are popular spots for such nests, but any private spot will do, Thompson said. "The strangest place I've ever seen a nest is at the Sinclair station at Riverside and Benton," he said. "There was a planter box a duck had made a nest in, and it kept quacking loudly because the babies were having a hard time getting in and out of that planter box" Federal regulations ban the harassment of ducks and any damage to nests, Thompson said Kulli Bloom, who lives on Calvin Court near West High, said this is the first year she has been aware that ducks travel so far from the river in the spring. "There's a group of families who sit in the courtyard of my apartment building and know all about the ducks. They track their movements and everything," Bloom said.

"They really look forward to this time of year." Reach Gigl Wood and Rebecca Schultze at 339-7360 or Lowell Holderness, 73 Funeral services for Lowell A.

Budget From 3A with reflective film window covers.

Mundy also gave Carlson a report he wrote that showed UI could save by reducing how much light the school and hospital uses. For example, if one fluorescent bulb from each of the 48 fixtures on the central floor of the Central Transcription department in University Hospitals was removed, UI could save about $1,000 a year, Mundys report shows. "It's the simplest thing to get a guy on a ladder and take out every other little bulb," Mundy said. "If it doesn't work, you can put in back in." Susan Palmer, who works with financial aid in the UI law school, did not offer many ways to cut spending. Instead, she said people should be told how programs like athletics, which could be affected by cuts, offer positive aspects other than revenue.

Success like winning this year's Outback Bowl causes a positive ripple effect, she said an increase in applications and donations, and a reputation boost "There are so many things like that on the surface but they have all these other things going into it" Palmer said. Carlson said the task force is trying not to be influenced by possible political consequences from closing some programs. Water From 1A costs of operation, maintenance, expansion and debt service. That increase followed rate jumps throughout the 1990s, including a 25-percent hike in 1991 and a 40-percent hike in Because costs to build the plant on a 230-acre site at 2551 N. Dubuque St were below the expected amount and funds needed to treat the water also gallons of water a month, which currently translates to about $27.02 per month for water only.

The new reduction will drop the total to $25.65, "This will probably be it" O'Malley said about the likelihood of additional rate reductions. "We will have to take a look at it every year." Should electric costs and the expense of providing sewer, refuse, and water service increase faster than the population, residents could experience rate increases for various services in the future. have been less than anticipated, officials were able to reverse some of the rate hikes. "Last year it looked like we could do a 10 percent reduction, so I said we would do 5 percent one year," O'Malley said, adding that if the plant continued to operate as planned, officials would further reduce the rates. "And now we can reduce it another 5 percent" If the proposed reduction gains final approval from the City Council, it will go into effect July 1.

O'Malley said an average household uses more than 5,000 Betty Kline, 69 Betty Jean Kline, 69, of Newton, Iowa and formerly of Coralville Iowa City, died unexpectedly Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at Skiff Medical Center in Newton, Iowa. Mass of Christian Burial will he held FYirlav mmm as C3Jllr.3: ddly for next days fssu Overtime From 1A training, computer system analysts, programmers and software engineers are generally exempt "The devil is in the details, and we just got the details," said Harkin, who led Senate opposition to the earlier version of the proposed regulations. But Labor Secretary Elaine Chao said "few, if any" workers would lose their overtime pay protections. Officials said legal challenges and case law show that those jobs aren't eligible for overtime pay anyway. Chao said that while about 107,000 white-collar workers earning $100,000 or more a year could lose their eligibility, that's fewer than in a draft proposal issued 13 months ago.

Also, about 1.3 million lower-wage, white-collar workers will be newly eligible for overtime, she said. "Workers will clearly know their rights and employers will clearly know their responsibilities," she said. The revisions, which do not need congressional approval, will take effect in 120 days. Lower-wage workers gaining overtime protections include lower-wage retail and restaurant managers. Middle-income workers such as office workers, cooks, inspectors, paralegals, licensed practical nurses and technicians "will have their rights better protected," the department said.

Police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians are identified as jobs that will not lose overtime protections in response to criticism from Democrats and labor unions, who said the initial plan was vague and could cut overtime pay for those "first responders." The revisions come at a time when jobs and pocketbook issues are among voters' chief concerns. President Bush has improved his standing in polls on domestic issues, but questions linger about the strength of the labor market and his plan to create jobs. When the overtime plan was issued in March 2003, the administration drew ferocious criticism from organized labor, Democrats and some Republicans over concern that millions of workers would lose overtime pay. It marked the first comprehensive revision of the 1938 Fair Labor Standard Act regulations on white-collar rules, in five decades. The guidelines were drawn up at the urging of businesses and employer groups battling mounting lawsuits from workers challenging their status.

"Employers have spent too many years trying to shoehorn modern jobs into regulations that haven't been updated since Elvis was a teenager. We've finally got regulations that will mean something in the 21st century workplace," said Katherine Lugar, the National Retail Federation's vice president for legislative and political affairs. hwaOty Press-Citizen tererfSAVER Advetfiser mi Schools From 1A next year, and for the junior high schools to be designated as "Schools in Need of Assistance." "We won't know that for sure until sometime in July," Ehly said. "We know we don't have 61 or 64 percent It's not even close to that" The junior high schools themselves would not be punished with any sanctions such as allowing students to transfer and paying for transportation for students on federal at-risk dollars, since they do not accept the at-risk funding, Ehly said. She said the district was meeting all other requirements for the law, including working to improve its staff development plan by training more reading teachers.

The No Child Left Behind Act has gained the ire of teachers and school administrators, as well as many parents. Tuyet Nguyen, who has a first-grade student at Wickham Elementary, said the federal funding of other areas such as homeland security and the war in Iraq has taken away from education. "I don't think it can work," Nguyen said. "When you're cutr ting funding to schools and giving them unfunded mandates, you're setting them up for failure."
