JOHN CAREY One of the most memorable occasions since I have been in the Ohio General Assembly was the address by Astronaut and retiring U.S. Senator John Glenn. Senator Glenn was welcomed as a hero at the State Cap1tol. He 1s both the first man to fly into space (it happened in 1962) and this year he became the oldest man to travel into space at the age of 77. Senalor Glenn is a member of the Democrat party. He spoke of the importance of spAce and learning and investing into research which as he pointed out is essential In his speech he also talked about public service and about Democracy. The New Concord, Ohio native stated, "I ·want to convince our young people that our democracy has no room for the cynicism and apathy that is so rampant now throughout our society." Senator Glenn is right; it is important that we have people who are interested in serving the public whether it . be for the school board, township trustees, Mayor, Governor or President. · Electe.: officials are often called politicians, I believe the media needs to : refer to elected officials as such or as legislators of Representatives or poli: cy makers. Most people are involved in public service to serve the' public. It : is a noble purpose that we as a nation should encourage not discourage. The • unfortunate events in Washington tend to paint all office holders with the 1 • : same brush. : I can tell you on first hand knowledge that most people in go~ernment at · all levels (local, state and federal) are honest and want to do their best for : their constituents and their communities. I worked for Congressman : Clarence Miller from 198110 1988. I was with him in Washington as well • as in his district in Ohio. He is a very down to earth, honest person who I : trust. In seven years of working for him, he never lied once to me or to any: one else. He was faithful to his family. He taught me much about public service. As a Republican, he like Senator Glenn had great respect for the two party system and for democracy. They both came from modest backgrounds • in southern Ohio and had the freedom to run for the offices in which they · : served the public. ' : In the Ohio Legislature there are many good people on both sides of the :: aisle whose only desire is public service. I am not advocating that ,those who -: choose lo seek to serve the community be immune from questioning and :: criticism. My point 'is that it is important we have people who are willing to :· serve their country in this mallner and that we should respect them unless ::: they do something to violate our trust. . Senator Glenn went on to say, "And I want our young people to know that :; while everyone need not run for political office or serve in public capacity, :· it is vital that everyone be willing to devote at least some of their talents and ·: a portion of their time to solving the many pressing problems that plague o"ur :com munities, our country and our world." He said, "If it gels down to fewer :· and fewer people, you wind up not with a democracy," "Everyone should be ; : involved whether in teaching kids to read or helping with a little league : team," he asserted. "Our freedoms will remain free as long as we have pol. itics and people who are willing to run for office. Like my friend Robert Kennedy. I sti ll regard public service as an honorable profession," said the elder statesman. Senator Glenn's speech was on target and timely. John Csrey, R· Wellston, repnJsents the Q4th Dlslrlcl In the Ohio By ROBERT WEEDY llow is it that busy Americans too busy to become informed about the basics of government are constantly given a carte blank · to decide major pohcy questiOA< for our country? · opt1on · was . never g1ven · Th1s to us by the founden; and framers of the Constitution In fact they were verv concerned · of a pure ' democracy.· They were about the dangers very concerned about the rule of momentary passion where facts may be pushed aside . That IS why . democracy. called a we have a representatiVe republic, where we send those from our d1stnct to represent us and vote on our place . In m•d December a poll revealed that 40 percent of Amencans thought that 1mpeachment was removal from office. Only 25 percent had •aid they were paying close anen110n to !he Judiciary Committee hearings. Yet 1 we were continuing to hear that Con· gress was not represent ing the v1cws of the public Was Jl not bad enough that we had a lady on the Judicoary Committee that apparently did not know the difference bt:twccn "censure" and "censor" . It is diff1cult enough for us to follow the debate when 1t 1s couch!:d m such divergent terms Wh~ is :,uch debate cast the way it 1s'' ·1he ansY. er comes from observing the techmquc of using focus groups. A cross section of people 1s asked to v1cw a video or li sten to an audio tape and, by using elcctromcs, md1cate what they approve of and like or indi cate what they don't i!pprove of or diSlike. This gives the strategist onformation that enables him lo cast an ossue in a way that w1ll be given favorable review for his side. We saw repeatedl y, ad nauseum, the idea advanced that the Clinton problem was about sex, that it was a pnvatc and not public matter, and therefore was between h1m , h1s farndy, and h1s (iod. As long as the revelations could be kept at !hat level in the mind of Legislators and the people, there was no sigmficant . per1alty' for lhc PreSident. Polling and focus groups had shown thiS to be the case. There are stJII many Amero cans to th 1s day who will tell you "11 IS all about sex ". This process is known as manipulation. Obviously we like for politicians to tell us what we want to hear. Isn't 1t then predictable that they fJrsl find out what we like to hear, and then cast their issue to suit our taste? Th1s not only was th e case in the mvestigat!on of the Presidenl, but in the last election also. J3mes Carville designed a plan to unseat meumbent governors in Alabama and South Caro!J na by pushing a state lollery for the bencf1t of "education". His 1dea was successful for most lolks want to see education improved. The two governors who opposed the lottery were defeated. But the manipulation did great disservice to the poor. Carville's party claims to be the champion of the . less fortunate, yet they spend two and one half times the money on tickets than do the richer · • folks. The greater bur den o f rund'mg •educat1on thus falls to the least able lo afford it. Manipula· works, sad to say. t1on Why is it that "doing what the American peopie want" was never consistent m Mr. Clinton's · ed out on Brea kagenda?

(AP) GM retirees become active force in their communities By JAMES HANNAH Associated Presa Writer DAYTON - Retired autoworker and union organizer Tom Stewart has packed a whole lot of work into his 83 years. He deserves a rest, but like' many fellow retirees. doesn' t seem to' .. . get much. : On this day. Stewan is presiding over a meeting of ahout 'IOO retirees from General Motors Corp.'s two a¢a brake plants. He announces the status .of fund-raising efforts for varioos charities. relates the plight of the f:imily of~ worker who wa.< struck by a ·car and killed, and discusses the g;oup's future outings. : ··we·re verv active," said Stewart.. : One reason is that rnany GM workers retire early and not all of them head for the Sun Belt. Enough r~main to be a noticeable force of ~ople with time · on their hands looki11g for something to do. : GM spokesman Jim Hagedon said t~ere are, at least 30.000 retired GM employees and their dependents living in the Dayton area. : "One of the b~nefits this ~ommu­ nity gets from GM is the availability of volunteers," he said. . And it may soon get many more. In October. the brake workers agreed to allow GM to offer half of the 3.400 current employees incentives to retire within two years a• part of a cost-cutting plan, a proposal .that must still be approved by the UAW International. In a June study sponsored by the American A~sociation of Retired Per- sons of 2.000 Americans ages 33 to 52. fewer than one in five said they expect retirement to be the end of their productive years. Four in five said they expect w c?nttnue work1ng at J ea~t parHime. e1ther ~or the income or enjoym'ent. Three 1n four al so said they plan to pursue hobbies and spend more time with their families. Dale Brickner, former head of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations , said retired GM workers do anything a cross-section of American blue-collar workers would do. However, Brickner said he knows of many who got their college degrees while working at 9M and after retiring got their graduate degrees so they could get professional jobs . . Others turned moonlighting operations during their GM days into fulltime jobs following retirement. Still others moved away from the cities and offered their services as professional hunters and fishermen. Dick Lee retired from GM last year after 35 years with !he automaker. Lee, 57, . of Centerville, had planned to do some part-time con' suiting work but latched onto a fulltime job as marketing director of the National Composite Center, which helps clients convert resins and fibers into products. "I really wanted to keep busy," said Lee. "I really did not want to sit home and puller." Gary Hill, president of Local696, sa id a retired friend once told him that · retirement is like it being Saturday every day. Hill hopes to retire in about five years •nd run· a charter fishing business on Lake Erie. However, some relirees look back on their jobs with a sense of longing: Henry Jeffers, 69, of Dayton, . retired seven years ago from GM. "I say I don't mi ss it. but at times I miss it," Jeffers said. Stewart's life after retirement seems only slightly less hectic than his working days. memories of which he gladly shares. Stewart began working at the brake plant in 1.936 and three years later helped found United Auto Workers Local 696. '"Whe n we started this union, we •. had .nothing." he recalled. " One of our first m~eting places was in a garage. The rats would eat up our • A minutes." In 1961, Stewart became a national organizer for the AFL-CIO. He walked the fields in California with Cesar Chavez to help organize farmworkers. "The companies, they'd ~all us Communists," he said. " We'd had cars destroyed, people beat'up." • By The Associated Press Lights and heat switched back on Saturday for many customef5 who had been shivering since an ice Slorm snapped power lines across the South. · Thousands more, however, still had no electricity since the pre-t:hristmas ice stonn pulled down power lines and snarled highway and airline travel. And even with some 2,000 utility workers laboring to reconnect broken power lines, some customers in Virginia may be in the dark until the middle of the .week. Virginia Power spokesman Jim Norvelle said. "ll's the combination of ioe and it forcing trees down into our power lines. Just a lot of hard.manual work," Norvelle said. An estimated 180,000 residential and business customers of Virginia Power still had no power on Saturday. Utilities said about 45,000 customers were still blacked out Saturday in , Mississippi, along with nearly 43,000 in Tennessee, more than 17,000 in Louisiana, and fewer than 4,000 in North Carolina "We're making good progress. Unfortunately, there will still be some out over the weekend," said Ron Stewart, vice-president of cooperative services for the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi . · In Manchester, Tenn., Jim and Jean Kennedy spent Christmas night in the Coffee County s'enior Center shelter. It was lheir third night there, and they ate Christmas dinner cooked by the staff at the jail next door. "This is by far the slrangest Christmas. I've had, " said Jim Kennedy. Nathan East of rural Bossier Parish in northwestern Louisiana was in the dark from Wednesday to Christml)fo, and then turned to helping out friends who still hadn't been reconnected. "We got 'em up some butane heaters and a little fish cooker to cook on and some oil lamps for lights," he said. "It's a lot like the old times but they're making out all right." · Virginia's Williamsburg area was among the hardest hit. Only one gas sta· tion was open in the city Friday night, and customers had to wait an hour for gasoline for cars and emergency generators. . ., Employees of Chambrel, a senior community in Williamsburg, had to evacuate 56 assisted-living clients and were directed to the Williamsburg Hospitality House, reportedly the only hotel in the city with heat and electricity. ' The hotel was already jammed and tbe senior citizens, many in wheelchairs, ended up sitting around tables in a hotel ballroom with nothing to eat but sandwiches. · The hotel also welcomed anyone else who came by to keep wanm by the fireplace in the lobby, which was stocked with urns of coffee. "I wish I could do more for these people," said hotel assistant general manager Keith Scott. · . . · ) . .. ' )/- 1' . * l . "'~ •· K •· • l ..

The surgery is still experimental, and people like Friedland can have it done only if they are willing to be studied for several years. The Food and Drug Administration will consider Friedland and others when it decides whelher to approve the procedure, which costs about $50,000. FDA approval, expected within two years, is often needed before insurance will cover new treatments. The FDA won 'I discuss such trials d~ring the approval process, citing proprietary concerns of manufacturers. But elsewhere, clinical results are encouraging . . Doctors in France and Canada reported good results in a two-year study published in the Oct. 15 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. That sludy showed the stimulation improves ali11Jotor manifestations of Parkinson's and significantly decreases the medication that patienls need. "The results are very dramatic," said Rezai, one of the first surgeons to perform the procedure in this country. "This is a very significant advance." Anything that helps advanced Parkinson's patients is welcome. Some I million people in the United States have the disease. Why Parkinson's begins to destroy brain cells is Ar•• ' not fully understood, and doctors can,do little but try to help patients function as the disease continues to destroy the brain. ,, The primary Parkinson's tre,lment is the drug dopamine, a chemical messenger \hal is created by healthy brains. The lack of dopamine causes frozen facial expressions, muscle tremors, slowed movements, stiff limbs and trouble walking and maintaining balance. By giving dopamine, doctors can reduce these effects. But over time, the drug becomes less and less effective. "I've had Parkinson's for IS years, and the first 10 were really a breeze, I must say," Friedland said. · "My medication controlled the shaking. But the 11th, 12th and 13th year, the medicine began to wane.''

Though the disease is most common ' in the elderly, it can strike younger people. Of those dia_gnosed with Parkinson's, 5 percent are under age 40, including actor Michael J. Fox, 37. He reveal~d , his Parkinson's'batlle last week. There is no cure for the disease, and doctors can't slOp it from destroying the brain. But scientific advancemenls in computer-aided medicine have helped surgeons find a ne": way 10 block the disease's confusing brain signals. Friedland is part of a clinical trial that is measuring the effectiveness of bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation, which doctors say is the biggest breakthrough in the Parkinson's fight in 40 years. It's young patienls like Fox who stand to benefit most from the procedure, said Abraham Lieberman, medical director of the National Parkinson Foundation. "For the younger patients, this will represent something dramatic," he said. "What is accomplished by stimulating this area is very remarkable." Using the most detailed computer-aided. brain imaging possible, Rezai,<of New York's Hospital for Joint Diseases, has positioned his probe in the neigh· borhood of Friedland's trouble. The neurosurgeon knows he's in the right spot when Friedland suddenly stops shaking. At that spot he implants a probe, connecls it to a pacemaker-like device in her chest and repeals the process on the other side. When turned on days later, these probes deliver bursts of energy that interfere with the diseased brain's chaotic signals. The result is dramatic: Friedland's hands are calm and her medicine works again. "To me, Dr. Rezai is a god," Friedland said. "The improvement is miraculous," said her friend and suppon-giver, Raseh Nagi. Others agree. "This looks very, very promising for people with Support group allows for sharing of .life-altering • expenence '· • wits' end," she said. The disease doesn't kill, so il often leaves people twisting at the end of their psychological rope for years after standard treatments have failed. "They have no life," said Andrea Smilh of the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York. "One · man who couldn 't use his arms said that when his wife left the house, he had to put his face down in a bowl and eat like a dog. He said after a while you just don't want logo on like that. A lot of them say they wish they would just die." Surgeons have tried to help,Parkinson 's patients over lhe years by intentionally damaging cells in other trouble areas. By damaging the brain tissue that carries chaotic signals, surgeons disrupt the disease's electrical activity. But these techniques, thalamotomy and pallidotomy, don't help all of the symptoms and can have major side effects. Surgeons also are transplanling fetal tissue into the brains of Parkinson's patients. This tissue often grows new, healthier brain cells, but progress can be slow and the side effecls of transplants can cause new problems for patients. None of those surgical procedures allows Parkinson's patients to reduce their medication levels dramatically. But doctors have found that by sending pulses of electricity into the olive-sized subthalamic region of the brain, they can disrupl Parkinson's wrath. The technique is based on a similar procedure called deep brain stimulation lhat was approved by the FDA in August 1997 to treat tremors. Using that procedure, doctors silence tremors by sending electric pulses into the thalamus. The technique goes deeper into the brain to an area where all of the motor problems caused by Parkinson's can be silenced. To get to the spot deep in Friedland's head, surgeons mapped a route that would cause the least amount of damage lo other paris of her brain . A hydraulic driver moves the probe at various speeds· fast through the top of her br~in and extremely slow as it approaches the target area. Thanks to extensive computer mapping and basic rules of navigation, the s~rgeons arrive right on target. They know they 're in the righl place because her brain tells them so. Because there are no pain sensors in the brain, Friedland has remained awake during he[ surgery, When the probe reaches the area of her brain that should drive her left arm, surgeons ask her to move it. A new noise fi lis the operating room as her arm moves. " We're lislening to each individual cell," Rezai said. "They each speak different languages. It's like going from one country to another." Patrick Kelly, a pioneering neurosurgeon, said l~e sou~ds are so dislinctive that it's as if the cells " have their names lallooed on their forehead." "I tell them , 'There is your brain talking to you,'" he said. But the most dramatic sign that they've found the right spot comes when surgeons reach an area of Friedland's brain that causes the tremors. Suddenly, 1 the shaking stops. "It's one of the most gratifying surgeries you can do," Kelly said. "You lake people who are in a living hell and in five minutes you change their life. There are very few surgeric!S where you get that kind of satisfaction.'' ,-' ., �. ...

For those who love his lyrical, eve n poetic VISions of tbc dicbotomy , betwee n man and nature, this film won't disappoint. II is like a tone poem of imagery. bringing seeming· ly inharmonious elements together in 'ways that strike sparks, particularly when you consider what those images seem to mean outside the confines of a story.

We see the nervous soldiers on a baUieship, being taken to an unnamed location, ncr· vously awaiting their fate.

The only ones who emerge as more than slick figures are Nolte's ambitious, hard-driving colonel; Sean Penn, as Cfor-Charlie's eyni· cal lop sergeant; Chaplin as a lovesick soldier pining for the wife he left behind; and Elias K.oteas, as Charlie's captain, who would like to win the battle without needlessly sacrificing lives. Woody Harrelson and John Cusack also shine in brief scenes as banle leaders. . Th.e film's most interesting character, Jim Cavieul as Private Will, is also one of its most unexplained.

Director Terrence Malick'$ first film in 20 years is a gorgeously photographed, badly scripted retelling of James Jones' novel of the banle for Guadalcanal.

'The first "Joe" offered ' lillie of the grandeur and spectacle ·of " Kong," though it was made by ~V· cral veterans of the "Kong" production team. It's greatest claim to fame is for launching the careers of special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen and the superb character actor Ben Johnson.

O i11 o Senators call for quick impeachment trial I jAMoclated Preee Writer . · WASHINGTON (AP) - The push for a speedy Senate impeachment trial is gaining momentum among k<y lawmakers from both parties. But Repub· .licans say censure should be considered only after those proceedings begin, and perhaps not before th<y conclude with an up-or-down vote on removing President Clinton. Talks about the logistics are expected to intensify this week as the t06th Congress prepares to convene Jan. 6. Senators such as Rick Santorum, R-Pa., and John Breaux, .D·Ut., are suggesting the trial begin by the next day. Several senators said on the Sunday television talk shmh that they want the matter concluded in the first two months of the year. One GOP senator said censure should not be discussed until after the Senate votes on the perjury and obstruction:of-justice impeachment articles approved Dec. 19 by the House. "We ought to vote on these articles of impeachment, and then that is the appropriate time to considera censure," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on "Fox News Sunday." · . "Assuming neither of those articles pass, which is what's widely expected will be the outcome ... you sit down and you negotiate the censure alternative," he said. Republicans and Democrats agreed thai any ·trial should be quick, given that many senators or both par• ties believe there is little chance that the Senate could muster the two-thirds majority to convict and remove~ Ointon. ' Internal surveys to see whether there actually is a two-thirds majority for conviction will not begin until aft<r the trial opens, said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin· Hatch, R-Utah. Without the 67 votes needed, Senate leaders then ·would "come up with the strongest censure resolution there is," Hatch said on CBS' "Face the Nation." Democrats are pushing for a strongly worded ceosure to punish Clinton for tryi 0g to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinsky, perhaps adding a fine and admission of perjury. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N. Y., said he is leading a bipartisan censure drafling effort. Senators of both parties agreed that they, like remainder.

But the timeliness or such a trial depends heavily on the definition of speed in a chamber that prides itself on careful, often lengthy, deliberations. Several senalOrs suggested that the trial conclude by March, the traditional starting time for the Senate's legisla· tive work. "Nothing happens in that first two months any· way," Moynihan said on NBC's "Meet the Press." A month-long, full-blown trial would "not really imped< . th< Senate," 'Santorum agreed on ABC's "This Week." But one or Clinton's harshest Senate critics said ·the trial should be quicker. "There's no reason for a long trial here. He deserves a speedy trial just like any other .citizen," Sen.

But he has said the chamber has a constitutional responsibilit~ to at , . , least open such proceedings. . What the Senate will consider, and how much of the graphic sexual evidence from the Lewinsky affair will be reviewed in public, 'is still foddei for fierce debate.

"It was our dream to go out and raise our kids on a farm," Wax said. · Once the old farmhouse with the sagging porch was refurbished, the couple's children easily gave up their suburban digs for farm life. · Wax began raising exotic animals just for fun. He names each animal, often with a human 'moniker. One of.the auburn-colored Highlanders is Reba. The buffalo are Cody and Calamity. The longhorns are Way ion and Willie.
