Help sought for families with cancer: Kris Hill; To help

Ralph Siraco's selections for Sunday's races at Santa Anita: 1st Race -- Another Star - Training at Hollypark, draws well for route opener, Eddie D. scales for trainer Matee. Storm Wreck - Flores aboard McAnally trainee, needs a good trip from outside post, well spotted for top try. Value Play -- Dig For It

Officer turns into an 'angel': Kris Hill; Early in his six-year career, Metro Police officer Darren Martine felt the emotional impact of the tough calls he went on, and he built up a mental wall so he could function.

Gore, Bush race is a tossup in Nevada: Nevada is normally an afterthought in presidential contests, but its four electoral votes will carry weight in Tuesday's general election, thanks to the cliff-hanger between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush.

Stuffee retires at museum: Kris Hill; After 10 years of service, Stuffee is retiring from the Lied Discovery Children's Museum.

Letter: Do we want religious right making rules?: You are absolutely correct! I am a retired obstetrician-gynecologist and certainly do not wish to see a return to the horrors of illegal abortions before Roe v. Wade.

Singing a New Tune: Lisa Ferguson; Lisa Ferguson is the Sun assistant features editor. Reach her at lisa@ lasvegassun.com or 259-4060.

Letter: Give Bush, Gore lie detector tests: If, while speaking live, the candidates were hooked up to lie detectors, with the results of truths and lies shown on screen, we might expect candor, integrity and nothing but the truth. We might.

Letter: Remember vets on their day: MARISA HARRIS

White Pine offering virtual school: Stacy J. Willis; Wanted: students.

Columnist Trude B. Feldman: Gore hopes to further peace in Middle East: Albert Gore Jr. was born six weeks before the modern State of Israel was established in May 1948. In 1998, when both Gore and Israel turned 50, the vice president was in the Jewish state for its golden jubilee. And throughout his professional life, Gore has shown unwavering concern for Israel's welfare.

Columnist Susan Snyder: A manic Monday at DMV: Granted, the Department of Motor Vehicles has had better days.

Columnist Sandy Thompson: Program provides lifeline for parents: Sandy Thompson; THE FIRST three years of a child's life are considered the most crucial time for intellectual, social and emotional development.

Letter: GOP ticket is anti-Nevada: One of these governors is Nevada's own Kenny Guinn. How can Guinn justify campaigning for a candidate who will definitely vote to dump the nuclear waste in our state? This should concern every resident in Nevada as it will affect all of us.

Columnist Kate Maddox: Troubled Aleman not producing: Kate Maddox; A little-known story regarding "Crazy Girls" and "La Cage" producer Norbert Aleman is that he's no longer producer of either show. Aleman, the subject of complaints by three female employees of the Riv, reportedly lost his ownership and producing rights of both shows in a divorce settlement four years ago.

Columnist Jon Ralston: Close races, confident predictions: IT'S NOT EVEN accurate to call what resides below predictions. That presupposes the outcomes of these races will be determined Tuesday when, thanks to the insanity of early voting, most of them are already over. By the time you read this more than 150,000 people will have cast early ballots in Clark County -- add in absentees and half of the Southern Nevada electorate already has cast ballots by now.

Rebels limp home after 38-16 loss at Utah: Steve Guiremand; SALT LAKE CITY --- No Jason Thomas, no chance.

Where I Stand -- Mike O'Callaghan: How soon some forget: THIS IS AN important American week with the election, Marine Corps birthday and Veterans Day all taking place.

Letter: Bush is more prepared than Clinton was: Clinton became president although he was only the governor of the small state of Arkansas. In his first race for governor of the big state of Texas, Bush went against an experienced and aggressive Democrat and won. Outside critics deride his Texas record, but who better to judge him than his constituents? In his re-election bid, he won overwhelmingly!

Letter: Freedom cry belies stance: Our only choice is to accept limitation or punishment. Only in Natural Law are we free, and Natural Law, obviously, chooses birth, not abortion.

Letter: A balance of power at stake: Given the unprecedented prosperity of the Clinton-Gore years, why would we risk our prosperity on an unknown quantity such as George W. Bush? Why would seniors risk Social Security and Medicare, which Bush has pledged to change? Why would women be willing to risk the fact that Bush would likely appoint two or three justices to the Supreme Court and take away the right of women for privacy of their own wombs?
