Nun wins $13000 Geo Storm in school raffle
Sister Rebecca Berghoff, 65, principal of St. Joseph Marquette School in Yakima, won the $13,000 fire engine red sports car after buying 30 of 32,000 tickets. She plans to return the car to aid the school budget, noting it is not appropriate for a nun to drive such a car. In Charleston, West Virginia, the state supreme court upheld a law denying licenses to teenage school dropouts with procedural safeguards requiring hearings. The ruling centered on Michael Means, 16, who left school to support his family and work pumping gas.
