Church Asks Court To
Block Priest’s Testimony
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)-The
Roman Catholic Diocese of Pro
vidence has asked the state Supreme
Court to block testimony of a priest,
concerning conversations he may
have had about a church pastor later
convicted of sexually molesting
young boys.
Bishop Louis E. Gelineau and Aux
iliary Bishop Kenneth A. Angell first
attempted to keep lawyers from ques
tioning the Rev. Richard C. Bucci on
a motion heard in Superior Court last
Monday.
Judge Americo Campanula denied
the motion but granted the men a
week to appeal to the Supreme Court,
which they did the next day. •
Gelineau and Angell do not want
lawyers for a Narragansett woman
and her son to question Father Bucci
under oath about what, if anything,
he told the bishops about former
Bristol pastor William C. O’Connell.
The woman and her son are suing
the diocese and the bishops for $12
million, arguing they failed to
Nmove O’Connell from his position
as pastor of St. Mary’s Church after
being informed of his sexual, involve
ment with boys.
O’Connell was arrested in 1985 on
charges of sexually assaulting three
pays. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to one year at the Adult
Correctional Institution.
Bucci, an assistant pastor at St.
Mary’s in 1964 and 1989, has not
publicly admitted to discussing
O'Connell’s behavior with diocesan
officials. But he did file statements
with police about O’Connell, and he
provided information to the Depart
ment for Children and Their
Families.
Diocesan lawyer Michael T. Mur
phy argued in Superior Court on Mon
day that any conversations between
Bucci and Gelineau and Angel! are
privileged and protected by a state
law prbhibiting a priest from testify
ing about “confidential communi
cation entrusted to him in his profes
sional capacity."
also argued for Bucci’s First
Amendment rights.
But Daniel Prentiss, lawyer for the
plaintiffs, argued the state law Mur
phy cited was intended only to protect
priests from divulging what they are
told in confesion
“I told the judge that 1 didn’t think
the state law applies in this case, and
the judge evidently agreed,” he said
last Tuesday.
Court officials said Tuesday that a
hearing on the bishops' motion would
be held later in the week by Supreme
Court Justice Florence K. Murray.

Extension Agent
Sees Steak Price
Increases Soon
Look for specials on steaks at the
supermarket during March and
stock up for summer barbecues,
says Rachel Kinlaw, extension
foods and nutrition specialist at
North Carolina State University.
“March will be the last call for lower
steak prices: once the demand goes
up, the price will also go up,” she
says.
Pork loins, sholders and picnic^
are good buys, but hams, both fresh
and processed, are higher in price
this year. The extension specialist
predicts that bacon and sausage
will continue to be reasonably
priced. “Unless you love a specific
brand of sausage, try different
brand*. You’ll find that fat content
does vary," Kinlaw says.
Poultry continues to be a good
value. Fryer prices are holding
their own, and turkeys are being
featured in some stone this month.
Fish and seafood demand con
tinued to keep the prices of these
.items up. Kinlaw suggests seafood
lovenon a tight budget consider the
lower cost alternatives, such as less
familiar species or the surimi-based
products lilke imitation crab and
imitation shrimp. Some stores will
offer Lenten specials on tuna and
canned pink salmon, but nd salmon
prices will nmain high.
Fresh firuit and vegetable prices
have been high lately, but they
should begin to drop as supplies in-,
crease. Present good buys include
apples, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce,
salad items, onops, grapefruit and
oranges. Fresh local turnip greens
should come on the market the end
of March, weather permitting.
“The average family spends
about 14 percent of their income on
food, lb make each dollar go as for
as possible, read labels, compare
prices and buy only what you will
use. Flan ahead so that you're in
control each time you shop. TVy not
to shop when you’re tired, hungry or
without a planned list,” Kinlaw
savS.
If your favorite pattern is BO
worn that it's beginning to fall
apart, press it onto fusible interfac
ing. There are several products on
the market for this purpose.

WHAT TO DO WITH SIN ’
“Thy word have I hid In my heart
that I might not sin against thee”
(Psalms 119:11).
What is sin? Sin is rebellion or
disobedience to God and His word.
j Sin breaks the heart of God because it
puts man directly out'of God’s will.
Sin causes man to miss the blessings
of God for his life.
One example of a silt which is
plaguing men is sexual sin.
Sexual sin, whether fornication,
adultery, homosexuality, or les
bianism, violates the laws of God. It
seems that the world is engrossed to
day with sex. Sex, not as an expres
sion of love, but sex as an end in itself.
Sex is used as an advertising gim
mick, a tool of exploitation and greed
and a means to gratify the flesh.
Sex u the snare tnat aaiau nas sued
to trap and destroy many politicians,
ministers and businessmen. Satan us
ed it to ensnare David, a man after
God’s own heait, who was taken down
by sexual sin. Sampson was a special
man of God who was tripped by sex
ual sin.
What does this mean? Must we all
throw up our hands and give in to the
desires of our flesh? God forbid that
we give up and give in. There is a way
out! However, we must fight.
“For all that is in the world, the lust
of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.” And the
worlg; passeth away, and the lust
thereof :but he that doeth the will of
God abideth forever.
Seek God and turn away from sin.
Milk Strengthens Bones, '
May Lower Blood Pressure .
By JOAN GOSPER
N.C. State University
That glass of milk you drink to
strengthen your bones may also be
protectingyoufrom high blood pres
sure. There is growing evidence
that links a low calcium diet to high
blood pressure, says Dr. Nadine
Tope, extension foods and nutrition
specialist at North Carolina State
University.
A diet low in calcium appears to
be an important risk factor in the
development of hypertension. The
average American adult does not
get the Recommended Dietary Al
lowance of calcium, which is 800
mg. Nutritionists recommend that
if you have high blood pressure or if
you have a family history of it, you
should at least meet the RDA for
calcium.
How can a mineral which |s
found in your boneB affect blood
pressure? One percent of your
body's calcium is found in your
body’s cells and fluids. “Although
this may not sound like much, this
one percent may play a very impor
tant role in regulating blood pres
sure,” Dr. Tope says. Calcium
causes blood vessels,to relax. >- ,.
Milk and other foods from the
milk group are the best sources of
calcium. They also provide your
body with potassium and mag
nesium, which may also help lower
blood pressure. Ah Bounce glass of
mil)t (whole, low-fat or skim) has
about 300 mg. of calcium. Twogles
aes of milk are. recommended. Get
the rest of your calcium from other
daily products and dark green leafy
vegetables, such as kale, collards
and broccoli, Dr. Tope says.
STEAMING
In a rush to get food on the table,
we often forget an easy and healthul
way to cook—steaming. Steaming
helps vegetables to retain good
color as long as they are not kept
covered for too long.
All you need is a steamer.
Steamers are little racks, hanging
mesh sacks or bamboo baskets that
hold the food off of the bottom of the
pot. There are also bamboo
steamers which can be used in your
wok, says Dr. Nadine Tope, exten
sion foods and nutrition specialist
atNCSU.
Steaming preserves vitamin C
and B-compiex vitamins which are
often washed away or destroyed by
other methods of cooking.
To steam food, put 1 to 1 1/2 in
ches of water in a sauce pan or skil
let; set the steamer in place, making
sure the food won't touch the
water. Heat the water to boiling.
Add the food, then cover and adjust
the heat to keep the water boiling
Vigorously. The pan should remain
filled with steam, but the cover
shouldn’t be on so tightly that the
pressure builds up. Check the water
level several times during cook
ing. If necessary, add more boiling
water.
Vegetables should be crisp but
tender, fish flaky and chicken
cooked through. Foods cooked too
long Iobo flavor and may become
soggy or stringy.
Take Care When Washing
Expensive Silk Garment
Although tho label may bay
“l^and washable," many people ate
reluctant to dunk an expensive ailk
garment into the eink. But clothing
made of thia beautiful fabric can be
successfully hand waahed if the care
label made hand washable.
Read the label and follow the
direction!. Waahable eUke ehould
be hand laundered with lukewarm
to cool water and a synthetic deter
gent made for wool, say* Dir. Harrfet
T. Jennings, extension clothing
specialist at North Carolina Skate
University.
When washing a silk garment,
do not rub the fabric. Squaose and
work it about in the suds. Rinse the
garment carefully in water of about
the time temperature, 'then
remove excess moisture by gently
squeezing and patting the garment
between dry towels.
Don’t wring the garment or
allow the silk to wrinkle unneces
sarily, because those wrinkles may
be difficult to get out. Silk should be
uniformly damp for pressing, so get
out the iron and go to work before
the article of clothing has complete
ly dried.
If the fabric is allowed to dry and
then sprinkled with water to damp
en, water spots may appear. If the
fabric is too wet when ironed, the
material will be stiffand papery.
