Grounded
rare whale
is dead
MONTEREY, Calif. (UPI) —
A rarely seen false killer whale
became grounded and died on a
sandy Monterey beach Sunday.
Scientists speculated the
1,500-pound, 13-foot long mam
mal beached herself and died of
old age.
Although not rare in num
bers, the false killer whale
usually roams in pods of 20 or
more far at sea and is seldom
sighted along the coast. Dr.
Victor Morejohn, a professor at
the Moss Landing Marine Lab,
said he believed it was the first
of its kind to become grounded
in California.
A Coast Guard cutter at
tached a rope to the leviathon’s
tail and dragged her from the
beach. The whale will be
examined at the Moss Landing
facility.

She used
to be a fatty
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI)
— Stephanie Dowdy was 60
pounds overweight two years
ago, and did not like herself.
Today she is competing for the
Miss America crown and has
an entirely new outlook.
“A year ago I never dreamed
I’d be here. I just watched the
Miss America Pageant on
television,” the 18-year-old Do
minion University freshman,
who is Miss Virginia, said in a
weekend interview.
“Two years ago I weighed 180
pounds. I didn’t like myself.
Now I have a new personality
and a new social life,” Miss
Dowdy said.
She said she decided to go on
diet when she went to a doctor.
The doctor gave her pills, but
Miss Dowdy threw them away
and planned her own diet.
“I didn’t want to become an
addict to pill popping. I cut out
bread and all the good things
and ate vegetables, fruit and
little meat,” she said.
She said she even stayed
away from pizza, which she
called her favorite.
When she won the state
contest, she said, she celebrat
ed by eating pizza.
Miss Dowdy will sing “I’ve
Got to be Me” on the pageant
night.
“That’s my philosophy. If you
remain yourself and don’t try
to be anyone else, people will
appreciate you,” she said.
