"This is the one where everybody pitches in," he said, gesturing about the lobby of Lewiston School, where dozens of volunteers, including members of the Lewiston Lions Club, were helping out with registration, T-shirt sales, concessions and preparation for the awards program that follows the race.

The weekend fund-raiser for cancer research and treatment also includes a spaghetti feed and auction. And those events also require lots of Lewistonites. There are 12 age divisions for the 8K race. Many of the trophies are given in memory of area cancer victims. But most people said that they came for the fun and to help a great cause.

"It's one of the first races of the year," said runner Lisa Puhl of Rochester, a five-year Elian From Page 1A pending court case. Justice has given the relatives until Tuesday to sign such a promise and has threatened to revoke the boy's permission to be in this country if they do not agree. That deadline has been extended twice already. Family members want to preserve their option to keep up the legal fight even if they lose their case in: federal court, which enforces immigration law. They also want a family court, which considers a child's best interests, to hear the case.

The Miami relatives have said they will surrender the boy if Immigration and Naturalization Service officers show up at their door and demand him. Federal officials hope to avoid that. All sides professed that the boy's welfare is their primary interest. Diaz said turning Elian over to his father would cause "further irreversible trauma." But John Podesta, the White House chief of staff, stressed that the Clinton administration believes Elian should be with his father, who wants him back in Cuba. "A child belongs with his natural parent unless that parent's unfit," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "We have no indication that Elian's father is an unfit parent." Still, attorney Linda Osberg-Braun continued to push that theory.

She said that the father told Elian on the phone that his mother was alive and waiting for him in Cuba when, in fact, his mother. died in the effort to reach the United States. Elian was left clinging to an inner tube until being rescued. Osberg-Braun speculated that Elian's father was under the influence of the Cuban government when he misled his son. "That's cruel, and we understand that that's because of the forces in Cuba coaching him and coercing him to say these horrible things to his son," she said on CBS.

"That needs to be discussed. It needs to be explored." Supportive members of Congress backed up the attorneys' theories. "They do take kids away from fathers and keep them away from them where there's child abuse or problems. We don't know what the situation is," Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) said on CNN.

"All the facts should come out in a family court. That's the only way to know for sure that this boy's going to be safe going back to Cuba with his father." Fool's Five veteran. "And they have great T-shirts." "There was a 60 mph wind back in 1997," said Doug Rau, also of Rochester. "You would be running and going nowhere heading west and just flying along when you turned east." Rau said he and five other colleagues at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Rochester office have made the early spring run an annual ritual. So has Betsy Olson of Edina and two of her friends.

"We kind of hang until last minute and watch the Weather Channel before deciding to come down," said Olson, noting that pledges are easy to come by, even at the last minute. "If it's windy or rainy, we still say, she said, toning up for the start of the race. "But if it's a snow storm, or like a real blizzard, well, we're not complete fools." School From Page 1A newspaper and drew about two dozen e-mail responses, most complaining about the amount of homework assigned. "It breaks a mother's heart to see her child in tears because they have so much homework that supper was their only break in the evening," one parent wrote. Another wrote: "You can forget ever doing anything as a.

family during the week." When Brendan and his three, siblings are all doing assignments from their private Chicago grade school, their mother finds herself serving as a taskmaster in addition to answering an endless stream of questions. Although Beth O'Neill agrees with her two younger boys that they sometimes get too. much homework, she believes the work will help prepare her children for high school and beyond. That may be true for older elementary school grades, but not for very young children, said Harris Cooper, a psychology professor at the University of Missouri. Cooper analyzed 120 studies on the effectiveness of homework and concluded that the younger the child, the less useful homework is in determining achievement.

Very young children need a small amount of homework to get them used to the drill, he said, but they don't have the attention span or study skills to benefit from more. "For young children, too much homework can be bad if it leads to frustration and boredom and if it crowds out other activities," Cooper said. The PTA recommends about 10 minutes of homework a night per grade level, meaning a first-grader should have 10 minutes and a sixthgrader an hour.
