Gov. stays pool-side
to miss mansion mold
When hazardous mold forced the
closure of the Governor’s Mansion
in June, the governor moved into
the pool house while his family
retreated to their private home on
the coast. But a new school year has
called the first family back to the
capital city, and Gov. Mark Sanford
has to share the one room with his
wife and four boys for at least a
month as work wraps up in the
16,400-square-foot mansion.
DeMint won’t stay
for entire convention
CHARLESTON — Like his
Democratic challenger for the
Senate, U.S. Rep. Jim DeMint
doesn’t plan to stay for all of his
party’s national convention. DeMint
and other Republicans criticized
opponent Inez Tenenbaum, saying
the education superintendent only
spent a few hours at the Democratic
convention because she wanted to
distance herself from her party and
its presidential nominee John Kerry.

2 men arrested in plot
to bomb New York
NEW YORK — A U.S. citizen and
a Pakistani national, were arrested
in an alleged plot to bomb a subway
station in midtown Manhattan and
possibly other locations around the
city, police said Saturday.
Police officials said the men
were not thought to be connected
to al Qaeda or any other
international terrorist organization.
The men never obtained
explosives, he said.
Anti-Bush protesters
rally day before RNC
NEW YORK — Demonstrators
took to the streets on Sunday to
protest President Bush’s foreign
and domestic policies as
Republican delegates gathered to
nominate the president for a
second term. A day ahead of the
start of the Republican National
Convention, up to 250,000
demonstrators were expected to
march up Seventh Ave. past the
Madison Square Garden
convention site in midtown
Manhattan. The protesters were
denied a permit to demonstrate in
Central Park, but many said they
would go there anyway.

Shiite militants battle
U.S. forces in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Shiite militants
and U.S. forces battled throughout
the Baghdad slum of Sadr City, and
a mortar barrage slammed into a
busy neighborhood in the capital in
a new wave of violence Saturday
that killed at least five people and
wounded dozens of others.
U.S. warplanes and tanks later
bombarded targets in Sunni
stronghold of Fallujah, and U.S.
forces exchanged gunfire with
insurgents along the city’s eastern
outskirts and the main highway
running to neighboring Jordan,
witnesses said. The fighting left at
least 14 people injured, hospital
officials said.
Traces of explosive
found on 2nd plane
MOSCOW — Russian
investigators found explosive
residue on the wreckage of the
second of two airliners that crashed
minutes apart, a security
spokesman said Saturday.
The high explosive hexogen was
found on the Tu-134 airliner that
went down Tuesday south of
Moscow, said a spokesman for the
Federal Security Service, Russia’s
domestic security agency.
Traces of the same explosive were
found on the Tu-154 jetliner that
crashed near Rostov in southwestern
Russia, officials said Friday. The two
planes took off from the same
terminal at Moscow’s Domodedovo
Airport and went off radar screens
within minutes of each other
hundreds of miles apart on different
routes.
Love says
court case
reflects
past self
LOS ANGELES — Rocker
Courtney Love said her well
publicized court hearings reflect
a life she led months ago — not
where she is now.
“The court cases are like a
lagging indicator in economics,”
Love told the Los Angeles
Times. “They show where I was,
not where I am. ... I’m doing
OK. I’m doing well, as a matter
of fact. It’s so stupid, but I even
enjoyed the martyrdom.”
In her latest court appearance
on Aug. 20, Love pleaded not
guilty to a felony assault charge
for allegedly attacking a woman
with a liquor bottle at her ex
boyfriend’s home in April.
In July, she was sentenced to
18 months in a drug
rehabilitation program after
pleading guilty to being under
the influence of a controlled
substance — a misdemeanor.
Love also faces a Sept. 30
trial on felony charges for illegal
possession of painkillers. And in
New York City, she faces
charges for allegedly striking a
fan with a microphone stand at a
club in March.
Love, the widow of Nirvana
singer Kurt Cobain, was
formerly the lead singer of the
band Hole. She had to delay a
concert tour with her new band
this year because of her legal
problems.
Joliet prison to star
in thriller ‘Derailed’
JOLIET, III. — It was featured
in movie classics such as “The
Sting” and “The Blues
Brothers,” and now another
major motion picture will film
scenes at the former Joliet
Correctional Center.
Portions of “Derailed,” a
thriller starring Clive Owen and
Jennifer Aniston, are scheduled
to be filmed this fall in Joliet,
located about 40 miles south of
Chicago. The movie is about an
advertising executive whose life
turns upside down after he
misses his train to work.
Owen, who recently starred
in “King Arthur,” will be in
town when a prison sequence is
filmed, said Joe Amari, senior
location scout for the Illinois
Film Office.
It is unlikely Aniston, of TV’s
“Friends,” will be in Joliet,
Amari said.
The Joliet prison closed in
2002 after 144 years. Film
officials say having the vacant'
prison cjose to Chicago could be
a good draw for other movies,
since many other empty jails are
either too decrepit or remote to
be practical.
“The moviemakers love it. It
has a prison look to it that they
really like, and they’re very
impressed with how flexible the
(Illinois) Department of
Corrections has been in
accommodating them,” said film
office director Brenda Sexton.

Actress wants film
memorabilia shown
LOS ANGELES — Actress
Jane Withers hopes to create a
museum to preserve her vast
collection of Hollywood
memorabilia, which is now
scattered among the living
rooms, garages, basements and
backyards of her friends.
“I love history, I respect
history and I love and respect
craftsmanship,” says Withers,
78, who starred opposite
Shirley Temple in “Bright
Eyes” and Gregory Peck in
“Captain Newman, M.D.”
Through the years, the star
of more than 50 films has
amassed dolls, costumes,
scripts and other Hollywood
mementos, an awe-inspiring
collection of more than
42,000 keepsakes that
included an autographed pair
of Fred .Astaire’s dancing shoes
and the movie set from “My
Fair Lady.”
After the warehouse storing
her collection raised the rent,
friends across the city agreed
to take the items. Now
Withers is trying to let go of
her collection and hopes to get
help from the Hollywood
community to establish a
museum and learning center.
“My dream has always been
to build a learning center for
children that would
incorporate the performing
arts,” she said.
Baseball goes to bat
for cancer research
BOSTON — New York Yankees
manager Joe Torre has reached
across one of baseball’s biggest
rivalries to donate $25,000 to the
Jimmy Fund, which raises money
for children with cancer and has
long been affiliated with the
Boston Red Sox.
•A telethon Friday at Fenway
Park raised more than $1.5
million.
Saturday Night Live cast
member Seth Meyers donated the
$100,000 he won on the
television show “Celebrity Poker
Showdown.” A group of Red Sox
owners gave $110,000 that
helped push the total over $1 '
million.
Jeremy Jacobs and Wyc
Grousbeck, the owners of the
Boston Bruins and Celtics,
respectively, gave $25,000
apiece, as did baseball
commissioner Bud Selig.
Last year’s telethon raised
$1.1 million. This year’s featured
a panel with the general
managers of Boston’s four
professional sports teams and an
auction of memorabilia.
The Jimmy Fund was
established in 1948 to support
cancer research at Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute. It has been the
primary charity for the Red Sox
since 1953, maintaining a close
tie with players from Ted
Williams to Trot Nixon.
