Private wakes for frozen tots
YELLOW QUILL RESERVE, Sask. -- A Saskatchewan community is preparing to say goodbye to two little girls who froze to death earlier this week. But the Yellow Quill First Nation wants to do it without the media there. Chief Robert Whitehead said yesterday they banned the media at the request of the family and the band's elders, to allow people time to mourn. "A lot of times, our belief system's kind of overlooked when something like this happens. It's not respected, and therefore I think our young people are beginning to see that, nobody else respects it, why should we respect it?" RCMP say the two girls were taken outside by their father early Tuesday morning and ended up freezing to death in a field by their home. .

Today, the freelance television cameraman's mission, as at many previous Super Bowls, is to capture the key player of the victorious team in the frenzied seconds immediately after the clock has run out. Someday, if he were so inclined, his epitaph could echo the triumphant words he and his crew elicit from the day's hero: "I'm going to Disneyland!" In the commercial that will further immortalize the lucky player, an off-camera voice says, "(Player's name), you've just won the Super Bowl.
