Statue of Liberty hosts party

100th anniversary celebration honors statue's French sculptor
NEW YORK — Merci beaucoup,
Frederic.
The Statue of Liberty hosted a party yesterday honoring its creator, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, for the 100th anniversary of his death.
The ceremony commemorating France's most famous gift to the United States also was a celebration of Franco-American friendship, which degenerated into name-calling and "freedom fries" after France declined to support the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
Richard Riehm, the deputy mayor of Colmar, the city in France's Alsace region where Bartholdi was born, said the Statue of Liberty reminds people of the United States' contribution to liberty worldwide.
"
"In the shadow of Miss Liberty," Riehm said, "we cannot forget what we owe to the American soldiers who gave us back our freedom on two occasions, 1917 and 1944. 60 years

progress. This statue before us became an icon of what we would wish ourselves to be. And it shamed us when our deeds fell so far short of our words."
Bartholdi was born on April 2, 1834, and died of tuberculosis in Paris on Oct. 4, 1904.
The ceremony took place on Liberty Island, where the statue was reopened to visitors two months ago after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks forced it to close.
ago."
"When the people of France made their magnificent gift to the United States, it was, in part, a recognition that we had finally abolished slavery," Mayor Joseph O'Neill said.
"But even as the Statue of Liberty was being erected, Jim Crow laws were being enacted to humiliate and disenfranchise the newly freed African slaves.
The mayor of Princeton, N.J., Colmar's sister city, noted that some of the founded fathers who enshrined liberty in the Constitution owned slaves.
"Liberty then was at most a hope, at best a work in progress. This statue before us became an icon of what we would wish ourselves to be. And it shamed us when our deeds fell so far short of our words."
Other Bartholdi works erected in the United States include the Bartholdi Fountain in Washington, D.C., the angelic trumpeters on the corners of the tower of the First Baptist Church in Boston and the Lafayette Statue and the Lafayette and Washington Monument in New York.
Thursday's Jayplay contained an error. The title of the gallery showing in "Finders Keepers," is "A Stranger, Wherever I See 'em."

Is it legal to fish at Potter Lake?
At its largest, it was 18 feet deep and covered 2 acres, and originally used for swimming and regatta boat races. Now it is a dump for the steam heating system on campus, and runs about 12 ft deep.
Yes, but you still have to follow state fishing laws, which basically means having a valid fishing permit. The pond has bluegill, catfish, bass and goldfish. However, we would not recommend eating the fish from Potter Lake.
ON CAMPUS
The Lions Club will have a meeting at 7 tonight at the Audio-Reader Network building behind KJHK.

Glen Campbell awarded Western Heritage Award
LOS ANGELES — Glen Campbell is joining a heavy list of Western heroes.
The Autry National Center is honoring Campbell with its Western Heritage Award for promoting the spirit and legacy of the American West. Past recipients include James Stewart, James Garner, Clint Eastwood, James Arness, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Robert Wagner, Clayton Moore and Gene Autry.
"I'm in some pretty heavy company," said Campbell, 68, noting, "Gene Autry was my hero. Dad would take us to see his movies. Gene Autry was just awesome.
"He was always the good guy, who didn't lie, steal or cheat. He was so considerate of other people. I was glad
to find out that Gene Autry was just like that off the screen."
Campbell served 10 nights in jail for extreme drunken driving earlier this year following an arrest near his posh Phoenix home. His string of hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."

Rolling Stones rocker defeats cancer, looks to future tours
LONDON — Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has won a battle with throat cancer, lead singer Mick Jagger said.
Watts, 63, was diagnosed with cancer four months ago and recently finished a successful six-week chemotherapy treatment at a London hospital.
"Charlie has had all his treatments and he's now been cleared and is free of any illness," Jagger told the Daily Mirror for Saturday's editions.
The chemotherapy left Watts weak, and he will spend time recovering with his wife, Shirley, before going back to work, the Mirror reported.
The drummer has recently split his time between the Stones and his jazz band, Tentet.
Jagger said he hoped to record new material and schedule a tour in the near future for the Stones.

Starting Jan. 26, his exhibition "The Triumph of Painting" will show the works of Martin Kippenberger, Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans, Jorg Immendorff and Hermann Nitsch — all established painters, although not well known outside contemporary art circles.
"For the last 10 years, only five of the 40 Turner Prize artists have been pure painters," Saatchi said Friday referring to Britain's prestigious art prize.
Saatchi, who married TV chef Nigella Lawson last year, has delighted and disgusted audiences throughout the world with his collection.
