Harvey K 1 -?* ?P tc.-*"*' . ?'?: 9 Harvey Keltel, Mekhl Phlfer and J Cats out i Associated Press LAVA HOT SPRINGS, Idaho ? The elementary school was closed and dozens of law enforcement officers scrambled to stop lions, tigers and crossbred cats today after they escaped from a private wild animal compound. "There's been 11 and possibly 12 (animals) killed and we know that three are still loose," said a Bannock County sheriffs dispatcher, who would not give her name. She said officials were hedging on the numbers because there were reports that "a few more" of the big cats had escaped today. She said the owners of the privately owned compound, called Ligertown, were attacked by at least one of the cats after they escaped about 9:30 p.m. WELC HI JJj m Brii Uni rea on < Gif Val: Mo Sat. use AHERFFJONESI Uniquely You...Distinctively V For a limited time, Herff Jones ol savings on our most popular code $30 Off 10K Gold $50 Off 14K Gold $1 See your Herff Jones represenlelive foi H HERFF JONES eitel chalk %-i 1|^^H|| ' ff ^;. ohn Turturro star In Spike Lee's latest of the bag Wednesday.

This movie is not for y( "Cockers," Spike Lee's newest f provides a look into life in the in city and challenges the viewer to tf about its implications on society on individuals. Based on a book by Richard Pi it is a story about Strike, a drug d er (or "docker") who is involved in murder of another dealer. The revolves around a homiride detecti relentless pursuit of the murderer Strike's relationshiD with other: !the street. Mekhi Phifer, who portrays street-smart Strike, does a magi cent job depicting the emotional mental anguish present in the in city. His performance is especially markable considering that Clocl is his first film experience. The movie brings up many turbing topics that will cause yo think more about social ills that pk our society. Perhaps the most ticeable to me was the attitude of police as portrayed by the movie, police, in general, are shown as 1 ing little desire to see justice ser and are generally held to be cruel sensitive and apathetic.
