Wild fires burn near Everglades

MIAMI Smoke enveloped areas of western Miami- Dado County on Wednesday as wind worked against firelighters battling a 2,000-acre blaze at the edge of the Everglades. Late in the day. nearby residents were asked to stay indoors, keep windows and doors shut and turn on their air conditioning. That was “due to toxic fumes from the fire in the area,” according to an advi­ sory issued by Miami-Dade police department. The fire broke out Saturday, according to the Florida Division of Forestry, and a strong north­ westerly wind pushed it through an undevel­ oped. swampy area on Wednesday. No resi­ dences or businesses were threatened by fire, but smoke hampered visibility for drivers on nearby Tamiami Trail, Okeechobee Road and Florida's Turnpike, said David Utley, Everglades district manager for the state Division of Forestry.

Senior Retreat #3 (April 14-15) Sign-Up I find myself wanting to say something about Notre Dame and about what this Deadline to sign-up is April 12 place means to me and to so many. Not only because our seniors are inevitably con­ 103 Hesburgh Library sumed by thoughts of their imminent departure; but because I myself am preparing to leave Notre Dame at the end of this academic year. I have been given the blessing of my Freshmen Retreat #29 religious community, the Congregation of Holy Cross, to take my leave of this place and Friday-Saturday, April 7-8 to pursue doctoral studies in moral psychology. I don't need to tell the seniors that this St. Joe Hall leave-taking comes with mixed emotions. There is in me great excitement at being able to pursue that which I've long wanted to; but at the same time, there is more than a tinge RCIA: Rite of Reception Into Full Communion of sadness at the thought of leaving this place which I have of late called home. Sunday, April 9, 11:45 Mass What is it about this place that makes it so hard to leave? There are as many Basilica of the Sacred Heart answers to that question as there are people who've been faced with leaving here. There are undoubtedly some among us who won't find it difficult at all, a few who've looked Graduate Student Bible Study Group forward to this day for a long time. And then there are those who can't imagine life Wednesday, April 12, 8;00 p.m. beyond it. And then there are most of the rest of us who fall somewhere in the middle, t o Wilson Commons pained at the prospect, but excited, and grappling at the same time at making the best of these remaining days. Interfaith Christian Night Prayer I find myself reflecting a good deal personally on why this place might mean so Wednesday, April 12, 10:00-10:30 p.m. t o much to me. Clearly, it is the relationships with the many in this place who fill the Walsh Hall Chapel everyday of my life that I will most miss. There are numerous encounters each day which leave me a better man for each. There is also the sense of this place as being big­ ger than any one of us, and even bigger than the collective, a spirit which takes all of us t o beyond ourselves. There are circumstances lately that have brought this home to me more powerfully than I might otherwise have appreciated. The most obvious are the events surrounding Conor Murphy's relatively recent diagnosis with leukemia and the remarkable love and support that have been expressed for him. Clearly, the marrow donor drive, which garnered the participation of so many, was evidence enough of our collective willingness to stand together in times of adversity, and to support one another in a time of need. As a rector and a campus minister on this campus, I have most enjoyed the opportunity that it has provided me to enter into the lives and stories of so many fine people, young and old. I am humbled and honored to have walked with so many through some of the most important days of their lives. As I write, it is the anniversary of my ordination to priesthood. I suspect there is no other gift for which I am more thankful as I reflect on my days of ministry here at Notre Dame. There is a richness to our sacramental life and to our shared faith that leaves me speechless with gratitude before God. This evening I will offer a Mass at the Log Chapel to yet again give thanks for the many blessings that I, and all of us, have known in this place. Not long from now, I will miss being able to wander out in the middle of any night to spend some time at the Grotto; I will miss the ceaselessly joyful liturgies which grace our beautiful Basilica; I will miss many things, but most of all, I will miss the peo­ ple. I will miss the multitudes who make up this place, the people who challenge me every day to be more than I am, whether they be students, faculty, staff or administra­ tors. As I prepare to leave this place, I do not apologize for being sentimental about it; I am sad, I am excited, I am moved and I am grateful. There is simply a lot of sentiment in that! I want to close with a prayer that has meant much to me ever since my theology studies in Berkeley. They are the words of Teilhard de Chardin, but so much the thoughts of my heart in these days, for myself, and for you. His words might encourage us to be present to each moment, even as they are numbered.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way Fifth Sunday of Lent to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress Weekend Presiders that it is made by passing through Basilica of the Sacred Heart some stages of instability - and that it may take a very long time.

NFL Vikings still atop George’s wish list

Associated Press

!•]DEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Jeff George's agent said Wednesday that Minnesota There’s one great thing remains his client’s destination of choice despite flirta­ tions from the Washington Redskins and the Vikings’ dal­ liance with other quarterbacks. “There’s an impasse in negotiations, but we’re not going to willingly walk away from Minnesota,” agent ABOUT GOING FISHING HERE. Leigh Steinberg said. “One question that is troubling is what if Jeff George takes the Vikings to the Super Bowl?” Coach Dennis Green has said Dannie Culpepper will be his starting quarterback in 2001 and has insisted he There’s no l i m i t . won’t budge from his one-year offer to George, who was 9-3 for the Vikings last year. Redskins owner Dan Snyder bumped into Steinberg during last week’s NFL meetings in Balm Beach, Fla., and initiated talks about George. The Redskins reportedly are dangling a two-year offer for about $4 million for George to back up starter Brad Johnson. So. it comes down to this: Would George rather make more money to be a backup in Washington or swallow his pride and start again in Minnesota, knowing he’ll basically be shopping himself to other teams all next sea­ son? “Jeff’s preference is still Minnesota." Steinberg insisted. It's just a matter of finding common ground on the con­ tract. he said. A source close to negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity said the Vikings have offered George a $500,000 contract, slightly more than the league mini­ mum for a 10-year veteran, with S I million more avail­ able in incentives. George wants more than a one-year deal. George signed a one-year, $400,000 last year and made about $1.1 million in incentives after replacing Randall Cunningham and guiding the Vikings into the playoffs, where they beat Dallas and lost to St. Louis. George expected the Vikings to offer a multi-year deal, but Green instead offered the starting quarterback job back to Cunningham, who refused a massive pay cut and will likely be waived June 1. Green then offered the job to Dan Marino, who retired instead, and then insisted Culpepper would be his starter in 2000. Green then relented, saying George could sign a one- year deal for minimum money and start in 2000 while serving as a mentor to Culpepper, the I lift pick in last year’s draft. Either way, Green insists the job is Culpepper’s in 2001. “That’s the other troubling aspect. Let's suppose Jeff takes them to the Super Bowl next year. Who’s the quar­ terback for the year after?” Steinberg said. The Vikings are growing impatient with George’s fail­ ure to accept their hard-line offer and are pursuing other options such as Bubby Brister, who would be Culpepper’s backup. Steinberg said he believed the situation will be resolved T h e d e lic io u s BK B i g Fish® value meal. one way or another by week’s end.
