Oregon boys held after
parents found dead
1 DALLAS, Ore. — Two boys,
ages 17 and 13, were being held
Wednesday after their parents
were found shot to death.
Matthew Sexton, 17, and his
brother Brian, 13, were headed to
ward Falls City when they caught
the attention of a sheriffs deputy
between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m.,
said Sgt. Richard Manning, who
heads the department’s major
crime team.
The older boy was driving a
pickup, while the younger was dri
ving a Jeep Cherokee, Manning
said. Both were driving erratically.
When officers tried to notify
their parents, they found evidence
of violence in the family’s rural
home and in one of the vehicles
driven by the boys.
Stanley Sexton, 43, and his
wife, Elizabeth, 42, were found
late Wednesday morning in sepa
rate locations near Dallas.
Marv Albert rehired
as sports announcer
2 NEW YORK — An apologetic
Marv Albert, whose career col
lapsed 10 months ago because of a
sex scandal, was rehired Wednes
day by the Madison Square Gar
den Network to anchor a nightly
sports show and do radio play-by
play on New York Knicks games,
“What I did was wrong,” Albert
said at a news conference. He
apologized for his role in the scan
dal that cost him his job telecast
ing NBA basketball games and
NFL football for NBC.
Albert’s new job takes him full
circle; he began his career in the
1960s broadcasting New York
Knicks and Rangers games on the
radio and was the Knicks’ TV
voice for MSG before his downfall.
In addition to calling about half
the Knicks games on radio, Albert
will anchor “MSG Sports Desk,”
a half-hour nightly roundup of lo
cal sports. He debuts Sept. 14.
Southern heat wave
still not subsiding
3 DALLAS, Texas — Health de
partment phone lines were
jammed Wednesday with calls
from people worried about sur
viving the searing heat as Texas
had its 10th straight day of 100
degree temperatures.
The heat wave has been
blamed for nearly 50 deaths
throughout the South. Callers to
the Dallas County health depart
ment wanted to know how to
avoid becoming a statistic.
“People need to take this heat
seriously,” said Betty Culbreath,
director of Dallas County Health
and Human Services. “We just
don’t want to lose any more lives.”
The heat wave has stretched
from Arizona into Colorado and
east to Florida, but has been partic
ularly deadly across the South. It is
blamed for at least 25 deaths in
Texas, six in Oklahoma and at least
20 in Louisiana since mid-Mav.
Tribes hope to save slot machines
Leaders claim that
federal plans to seize the
casino machines are an
attack on sovereignty
By John K. Wiley
The Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — Colville
Confederated Tribes leaders plan
a rally and march in front of the
U.S. Courthouse in what they
hope will be a show of public op
position to federal efforts to re
move slot machines from reserva
tion casinos.
Meanwhile, a court hearing on a
government request to seize 1,814
slot machines, originally sched
uled Thursday, was postponed un
til next month. The slots are in six
casinos operated by the Colvilles
and Spokane Tribe of Indians.
The Colvilles’ “Save Our Sover
eignty” campaign was formed af
ter U.S. Attorney James Connelly
last month filed for civil forfeiture
of the slots, contending they are il
legal under both state and federal
laws, Colvilles spokeswoman
Sheila Whitelaw said.
The Colvilles operate 794 of the
gambling devices in three casinos,
while the Spokanes operate at
least another 1,020 slots at three
casinos. Neither tribe has negoti
ated compacts with the state al
lowing Nevada-style gambling, as
called for under the Indian Gam
ing Regulatory Act of 1988.
Both tribes contend the state ne
gotiated in bad faith and runs a lot
tery, so no compacts are neces
sary. Both contend that, as
sovereigns, they do not need state
permission to operate casinos.
“We want the general public to
know a bit more about sovereignty
and how extremely important it is
to the Colville Indian Nation,”
Whitelaw said from the tribes’
headquarters at Nespelem. “Sov
ereignty definitely is involved in
any attack on the way the tribe
does business ... from the Depart
ment of Justice to the state of
Washington, or anyone else. ”
Members of the 8,450-person
tribe — some wearing traditional
regalia — plan to walk past the
federal courthouse on Thursday in
a procession from Riverfront Park,
and then return to the park for a
rally, Whitelaw said.
The rally is the culmination of
the Colvilles’ public relations
campaign, which uses television
and radio commercials featuring
tribal leaders asking for the pub
lic’s support of reservation gam
bling and tribal sovereignty.
But assistant U.S. attorney
James Shively said the legality of
slot machines, not sovereignty, is
the only issue in dispute.
Similar forfeiture actions
against tribal casino slot machines
are being litigated in federal courts
in California.
“The tribes have only that de
gree of sovereignty that Congress
chooses to give diem," Shively
said. “Congress can strip it all
away if it wants to.”
The Colvilles campaign has pro
duced more than 7,000 supportive
letters from individuals and orga
nizations to President Clinton and
other administration and congres
sional officials, Whitelaw said.
Tribal leaders hope to sway
public opinion that Nevada-style
gambling brings prosperity not
only to Indians, but also to com
munities adjacent to the tribes’
1.4-million-acre reservation.
The Colvilles won’t release casi
no revenues, but have said the
gambling operations employ 650
people and pump nearly $7 mil
lion a year into tribal and local
economies.
