Since its roaring premier in mid-May, "Dino­
saurs!" has proven the most popular temporary
exhibit in the Oregon Zoo's 12 l-year history. Visi­
tors have a little longer to walk the prehistoric trail,
as the dino exhibit closes Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Since the exhibit's opening, more than a third of
zoo visitors have walked along the dinosaur trail.
Attendance for "Dinosaurs!" has easily outpaced
that of "Winged Wonders," previously the zoo's
most popular seasonal offering; the much-admired
butterfly exhibit.
"More than 150,(XX) visitors have come face-to-
face with our gigantic, prehistoric beasts,," said
Carmen Hannold, the zoo's deputy director of op­
erations.
Guests travel along an ancient rain-forest trail,
surrounded by more than 25 life-size animatronic
dinosaurs. Along the way, massive footprints sig­
nal the proximity of the most fearsome prehistoric
predator of all: Tyrannosaurus rex.
O ther favorites include m egalosaurus and
deinonychus, with their sharp teeth and ferocious
claws. The path also features activity stations with
fossil digs. Additional dino-themed attractions at
the zoo, such as the dino train and "Dino Island"

(AP) — LeRoi Moore is being
remembered as the versatile saxo­
phonist whose signature stac­
cato fused jazz and funk over­
tones helped make the eclectic
sound of the Dave Matthews
Band. Moore died Aug. 19 of
complications from injuries he
suffered in an all-terrain vehicle
accident. He was 46.
On June 30. Moore crashed his
ATV on his farm o u tsid e
Charlottesville, Va., but was dis­
charged and returned to his Los
Angeles home to begin physical
therapy. Complications forced
him back to the hospital on July
17, the band said.
Moore, who wore dark sun­

concerts, had classical training

Offers free album for
signing up voters
(AP) — Sheryl Crow is giving away
free music to inspire young people to
vote.
She will give a digital copy of her
album "Detours" to the first 50,(XX)
people who register three friends to
vote.
"I hope people wake up and em o­
tionally engage in issues," said Crow.
Crow's giveaway is a kickoff to Rock
the V ote's voter regi stration drive. She
is also offering a free download of her
politically charged song "Gasoline" to Sheryl Crow
anyone who logs onto the Rock the
Vote W ebsite or anyone on the group's mailing list.
Crow, 46. was one of the founding artists of
Rock the Vote 18 years ago. She said the "De­
tours" album fits perfectly into
the group's cause since the
lyrics touch on topics such
as adoption, breast cancer,
the war in Iraq, the environ­
ment and Hurricane Katrina.
"It's about the issues that
everyone's talking about, but
there's a lot of hope," Crow
said. "At this moment in my
life, writing about anything
else would be uninteresting
and impossible because I feel
such urgency.”
Rock the Vote aims to reg­
ister 2 million young people
to vote by November.
