creates a nuisance. Adams claims the area is populated with squirrels, anyway, and that she does not need to lure them. Neighbors' evidence included the fact that Adams posts "Squirrels Welcome" signs in her yard, but the judge said he found the signs unpersuasive in that he doubted that squirrels could read them.
— In December, a federal court in San Francisco ruled against former Doobie Brothers drummer John Hartman in his employment discrimination lawsuit over his firing form the Petaluma, Calif., police force. Hartman claimed that his drug use in the early 1970s made him "disabled" under the Americans With Disabilities Act, but the judge ruled that Hartman had not proved that he had done enough drugs to be disabled.
— In July, Ontario judge Lee Ferrier upheld the 1991 firing of Sharon Bagnall, 52, by Calvin Klein Canada, where she worked as a cologne demonstrator. The judge said he was persuaded by the company's witnesses, who testified that Bagnall had a "personal hygiene problem" and smelled like an "armpit."
PEOPLE UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT
— In July, University of California at San Francisco clinical psychiatrist Dean Freeman, 35, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after he reportedly attacked a patient with a knife and an axe,
inflicting at least 10 wounds.
—The Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance revealed in March that it had spent almost $50,000 in 1993 on fertility drugs for 260 people, including about 80 welfare mothers, two of whom already had eight children. —In a $20 million advertising campaign to shore up its tarnished image, Prudential Securities Inc. began running print media ads praising its agents' integrity, featuring its Beverly Hills broker Susan B. Gooding, who proclaims that her own father is a client. According to a news story in the Chicago Sun-Times in March, Gooding's father, who died in 1991, was never her client. —In July, Lisa Evans, 26, told reporters she had been fired from an adult entertainment club where she worked at a nude peep show "fantasy booth" in Edmonton, Alberta, and that she planned to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. Evans weighs 270 pounds, and management said customers said she was difficult to fantasize over.
— According to police in Calgary, Alberta, a local pizzeria contains a dungeon-like "trick pad" where teen-age girls are worked as prostitutes and whose catacomb of rooms is littered with sex magazines, liquor bottles and used condoms. However, health officials who inspected it in December refused to close it down. Dr. Paul Hasselback said, "There is no reason to be concerned about the food being served."
Hard work and talent propel country artists
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music hopefuls walk the streets of Music Row, knocking on doors and dropping off tapes, crashing industry parties and making contacts.
How did they do it?
David Ball and Chely Wright are two such artists who have bucked the odds, secured contracts and released fine albums. Ball just had a good ride on the charts with his clever "Thinkin' Problem," and Wright is looking for a hit with her debut, "The Woman in the Moon."
For Wright, it started early.
"I started planning this when I was 4," she said. "When I was 9, I did a Christmas list, and I wanted Legos, Barbie and to move to Nashville, 'cause I knew that was where I wanted to be."
Wright, 23, left high school a year early and moved to Nashville from Wellsville, Kan., 40 miles southwest of Kansas City.
She performed at the Opryland theme park, fetched coffee for songwriters and answered phones so she could hang out at the offices of music publishers.
"I don't claim to be the best singer in the world or the best writer or the prettiest or anything like that—but nobody's gonna outwork me." Wright said.
Ball, a 38-year-old honky-tonker from Rock Hill, S.C., has the more weathered outlook of someone who has a couple of decades of club experience and one failed go-around in Nashville.
His album is the work of a mature writer, a conceptual, hard-country cycle that explores the ins and outs of breaking up.
