Earlier this month, the commiuee issued a written recommendation thru the commissioners expand services to those needing more specialized care, including psychiatric p;ilients and clients of the local MR!DD board. Prosecuting Attorney John Lentes said that such proposals are not in the county's best legal interests.

No one bothered to stop them, even though the blows, coming more slowly as the fight dragged on, might have done some fatal damage. And the men would not stop them· selves, despite heavy wheezing from age and far too many packs of cheap cigarettes. They were drunk. The winlry scene is not panicu· larly unusual in Russia .. neither in this heanland area, nor in Russia's more European cities funher west. It is the result of winter, of depression, and of the exploding national disease of alcoholism. One of the downsides of communism's. demise is that Russians are literally drinking themselves . to death. The strongest evidence of this carne at a Moscow demographic conference last September.

Those people are tobacco fanners. If it works as designed, the legislation before Congress will greatly reduce the demand for tobacco in this counlry. and that will put at least some tobacco farmers out of business. Some have proposed to cushion the impact on farmers by compensating them with government funds, and by maintain· ing governmenr-established quotas and price supports that until now have guaranteed tobacco farmers a comfortable living. That's really no answer, not in the long run. Government cannot protect farmers from the consequences of declining tobacco use. It can however, use the proposed financial settlement with the tobacco companies to make the tnnsition as painless as possible. The (Toledo) Blade, Dec. 24 The failure of the government's case against three former Libbey-OwensFord Co. executives and five other defendants should not dissuade federal prosecutors from diligently and agJ!'essively pursuing white collar crime.

But it is only recently that a serious problem hiS reached epidemic proportioaa. Since fottner Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev was forced Ill end his government campai~n against alcobolism in 1988,, per capita consumption has increased 600 percent. Then: are several reasons for this: -· One is a huge iucrease in black mulcet alcohol, often home-made from poisonous substances such as industrial ethyl solvent. Citizens here who Cannot afford Slate-marketed vodka take their chances buy· ing bottles of vodka from dozens of kiosks where the national brand labels are often counterfeit · ·- Russian customs have always contributed to excessive consumplion at one silting. Once a bottle of vodka is opened, it must be finished. A shot of vodka must be drunk in one gulp. Drinking a half-bottle of vodka in 30 minutes is considered "moderate" drinking here. (In 1993, the average Russian man drank the equiv~lent of a bottle of vodka every two days.) What is new, now, is the amount and constancy of "binge drinking" over the weekends. Researchers have confirmed there are more alcohol-induced hean attacks here on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays as a result of nonstop weekend binges than ·occurred years ago. - .Winter is always a serious contributing factor. Russians assume that since alcohol makes one feel warmer (whereas, in reality the body becomes colder) ~nd the winters arc so oppressive here, this season is the best one for drinking. "The children come out in the summer, and the drunks come out in winter," one resident wryly observed to our correspondent Dylan VanAtta, who routinely, with friends, walked drunks home on freezing winter evenings. But the service .is not enough: One recent morning, at the bottom of an !IPanment building steps, he came across the body of a Russian inebriate in his mid-30s who died before making it back home. .. Finally, a contributing factor to the increase in drinking has been the huge letdown from the PfOmise that perestroika and freedom once offered. Under communism, everyone in Saratov had a job .. usually in one of the huge defense in<\ustrial plants that manufactured everything from chemical weapons to airphuies. Many of those factories are closed. Effons to conven them to civilian manufacture has met with some dismal results. Saratov-lJtoduced televisions and video· recorders have been of poorer quali· ty and more expensive than the Japanese models that' fill even some of the poorest apanments in this city. As a result, Saratov has an Offi. cial unemployment rate of 25 per· cent In reality, it is much higher. Many "employed" Russians spend all day in the factQries, even though there is nothing for them to do and they haven't been paid in months. uDuring communism, everyo'ne had money from their jobs but there was nothing to buy," our corre.;pondent observed.

Berger is said to be the fa•orite beCause he's an old friend of Clin· ton's, has worked in the White House since 1993 and wouldn't need on-the-job training, has the confi· dence of the rest of the White House staff .. and knows foreign policy thoroughly, having been deputy national security adviser until this year. As writer Peter Grier observed in the Christian Science Monitor recently, "Washington's opposing teams traditionally have worn uniforms that read 'Democrats' or 'Republicans.' But in'recent months, another imponant ideological dilide ists. '" On the globalist team, along with Clinton, are House Speaker Newt Kondnlcke Gingrich, RGa., and Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll, R-Miss., Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D·S.D., and most of Amer· ica's corporate and financial leaders, educators and media moguls. Globalism has been America's slance smce FOR committed the United Slates (o end isolationism and help the British before World War II. Since then, the United Slates has led the world militarily, diplomatically, economically and, increasingly, cui· turally. The United States has sent troops abroad, won the Cold War, spon· sored free trade and sent its movies, fashions, music and slang out to dominate the world. But now that the Cold War is over, a rising group of nationalists - some liberal, some conservative .. is questioning whether the United States should be so involved. Mightn 'l it be better pull back and tend to domestic con- cerns'! Leaders of the nationalist team I include House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, 0-Mo., the AFLCIO, former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, indepen· dent candidate Ross Perot, consumer activist Ralph Nader and former Democratic candidate Jesse Jackson. In a key test last year, fast track trade authority, a majority of Repub- · licans in Congress supponed a continued U.S. policy of free trade, but a large enqugh minority joined with a huge majority of Democrats to bar passage of the measure. Somehow, Clinton next year is going to have to marshaL his forces better or he will lose a major keystone of his economic and foreign policy .. the ability to foster prosperity around the world by expanding trade. Clinton ought to be able Ill win the argument because government slati~tics show irrefutably that workers in industries involved in world trade make better pay than those in purely domestic industries .. but he's still got to fashion a political strategy to make the case. Trade isn't the only. issue in the globalist-nationalist fight Congress this year denied funds for the International Monetary .Fund and the United Nations. An immediate test in January will be whether Congress should replenish the $32 billion that the International Monetary Fund has spent shoring up endangered Asian economies. Natimialists, including some Republicans who are Clinton's allies on free trade, contend that the IMF imposes anti-growth restrictions on other countries, shields them from penalties they ought to pay for fi¢al mismanagement and forces t,t.S. taxpayers to bail out intemati<l!'al bankers. , Globalists point out .. eorrectl)t · that the IMF has seen numerqus countries through economic hard times and has served as a stabilitcr protecting the U.S. economy frtlm being buffeted by foreign crises like the current one in Asia. • Then there's Bosnia, where Ccild War-era military activists such ;as former Marine Lt. Col. Oliver NOJth (and Pat Buchanan) argue for a U.S. pullout and want European nations to bear sole responsibility for pieventing a bloodbath. · The big issue of the year, though, will be the treaty admitting Pola~d. Hungary and the C~ch Republic -to NATO, which will be up for Senate ratification. Nationalists. includiM both liberals and Buchananite conservatives, say that the United Sillies should leave Europe to the EaOO. peans. Globalists say that po1icy ·~s produced two world wars. The lnith is, American involvement has been good for the world and has kept·tile peace. Clinton needs to keep Ametica globalist, and Sandy Berger may help.

EMS units answer 12 calls RNC to test candidates on their abortion views WASHINGTON (AP) - Repub: lican National Committee delegates will be asked 10 approve an abortion . litmus test for candidates, a move that could weaken any "big tent" strategy !O embrace pany moderates. While some Republicans have feared such a test, the RNC national committeeman from Texas said he will propose denymg pany aid to candidates who rcf!'se to back the GOP position. RNC officials will be confronted w1th Tim Lambert's resolution when they conveoe in Palm Springs, Calif., Jan. 15, fortheir wmter meeting. The proposal would ban " suppon fman cially, or by in-kind contributions" to a cand1datc "who opposes measures to end' so-called partial-birth abortions ." Steven Hess, a scholar at the Brookings Institution thonk tank, said Tuesday the proposal would he "pretty bad preccdcn!. When you reach the national level. the national chainnen hkc to talk about their part1es as a big tent. They want people to come into the tent rather than have people pushed out of the tent. " Hess said Ihere 's a " lcnsion between people who have to run for office and rai se the moneyand those who in some ways are amateur JX>Iiti· cians- the ones who are more inter· ested in their own intellectual and ideological purity." To illustrate the dilemma, Republicans only need to review the New Jersey governor's race last November. Would party members have wanted to cut off financ1al support to Gov. Christie Todd Whitman, who vetoed a bill that would have banned the abortion procedure? She won reelection in November by less than 27,000 votes out of more than 2.3 mill ion cast Lamben, of Lubbock, is one of nine members of the resolutions comm111ee that would send the proposal to the full RNC membership. "Just because a person is a nominee of the party does not conclude they receive funding from the RNC," Lambert said in an interview. "Is the pany obligated lo support a nominee of the pany regardless of their posi, tion? I don't think that if we had a candidate who was really great but was a pedophile, we wouldn't be having thiS discussion.'" · Lamben cited as precedent the party 's refusal to suppon David Duke, a failed senatori al and gubernatorial candidate in Louismna who was a fonner Ku Klu• Klan member "ROUND THE CLOCK SERVICE" Our Emergency Center at Veterans Memorial Hospital continues to offer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Most multiline businesses also will be paying a higher subscriber line charge each month starting Jan. I. The charge varies, based upon where the business is located. BellSouth started charging a higher fee July I. In addition, multiple-line homes and businesses will pay a new charge that will come from replacing some access fees that are based on minutes of long-distance use with flat monthly rates .

"These guys can play both (manta-man and zone defense). and that's why they're effective," Hawaii coach Riley Wallace said. "We really count-ed on switching defenses every three or four times down the Hoor. but the zone was working well so we stayed with it. . "Kansas came in here shan-handed.

The average age for marriage in Japan has risen from 26.1 in 1970 to 28.7 in 1996. The average age for remarriage among women jumped from 33.2 to 37 in the same period. Arranged marriages have become less common as young people make their own choices. "If they make mistakes, they feel confident they can stan again," said Yoriko Meguro, a . professor at Tokyo's prestigious Sophia University. Okano's "Fresh Start Club" advises divorced men and women on how to deal with everything from single parenthood to the legal intricacies.of untying the knot. . Its 500 members get together· at "Batsu-ichi" panies to snap up canapes and sip cocktails while they chat aboot their children or jobs. "They rarely mull around com- ' plaining about their past spouses,"· Okano said. "The club is about taking a positive attitude to the future." The media also is propagating the divorced person's new image. One of the media sensations of 1997 was the divorce of Japanese pop-superstar Seiko Matsuda. Instead of ending her already fading career -it resurrected her popularity. . Also this year, a magazine called "Liz," inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, was launched to spread the new gospel that even after multiple divorces, you can still go on ·with a 'spring in your step. A popular TV drama even parodies the new openness and solidarity of the batsu-ichi.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Under pressure from environmentalists, the government has put on hold a policy that exempts land owners from the Endangered Species Act "if they voluntarily protect fish and wildlife. The Clinton administration agreed to stop issuing permits under the policy for two- months after missing a court-ordered deadline Monday in a lawsuit brought by eight environmental groups against the "no surprises" strategy. Interior Depanment spokeswoman Stephanie Hanna said existing protectio~ agreements would remain in place despite the moratorium on new pennits. · "It is a victory for us but it's only temporary," said Leona Klippstein, conservation dir~ctor for one of the · plaintiffs, the Spirit of the Sage based in Pasadena, Calif. The policy, informally in effect . since 1994, promises private land owners that if they meet cenain habitat conservation requirements, they won't be subject to more rigid prohibitions in the futur~ on land uses · such as logging, mining and livestock grazing. The policy has won President Clinton and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt rare praise from those industrio~ as well as private property defenders in Congress, and has emerged as a key element of Senate legislation that would rewrite the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Critics say, however, 1hat the voluntary agreements don't adequately protect endangered fish and wildlife from extinction, especially if circumstances change due to natural disasters or further loss of habitat.

Welcome to the Great Annual Winter Child-Care Challenge: Trying to get to the center on time, frequently in miserable weather. A stressful !'VeQing drive to the child-care center also can intensify the mixed feelings some parents have about using child care in the first place. "I have a lot of personal stress about JUst dropping my kids off and leaving them," says Lila Starr, of Des Moines, Iowa, whose two children are in' day care. · When the traffic turns out to he worse than expected, "I have to make a conscious decision to not let driving conditions get me upset," says Starr. "I have to work at it." Being late can also be expensive. Many centers charge late fees to cover the extra costs they incur and to discourage tardiness. Here arc some tips from parents, child care providers and Gary Fox, city traffic engineer for Des Moines, . Iowa, on making the winter drive to · a child-care center easier and safer: - Get your car in good shape, with sound tires that provide good traction. - Have a back-up plan - a · 'friend, relative or another parent · who uses the center and can pick up · your children in a pinch. - When there's bad weather, leave early from work if possible to give yourself more time to get to the center. This also can lighten the traffic for people who can't leave early, Fox says. - Alcr· your child-care provider . that you might be late. This helps calm their fears and your child's. You may opt to talk to your child briefly. "It helps us to know where they are and that they're on thCir way and not in a ditch somewhere," sars Tara Wirta, director of Country Club Child Care Center in West Des Moines. - Use your car cell phone with caution.

Given thai ldnd of economy, econ- . omists are confounded about why people aren't buying more. Announcements of layoffs by big employers such as Kodak and Levi Strauss might have something to do with it, ttiey say. So might fear of a stock market slide caused by volatility in Asia. Some experts opine that consumers are losing interest in individual gift giving, preferring to give to the family as a whole. Or they are socking away more in retirement accounts. No need to buy more • A simpler answer comes from graphic designer Jennifer Grasse, 29, of Milwaukee, who explains why she spent about the same for gifts this year as la!t year. '·I.'m doing tine, but not so much more wonderfully' than last year," says Grasse. . Stores, Grasse adds, have given her fewer reasons to buy more tha~ last year. On fashion, "nothing's really changed," she says. Leopard prints, shoes with chunky heels- all back for another year. ln<leed, shoppers may have been flush with cash, but they were talking like there wasn't much they wanted to buy. Consumers responding to a Gallup survey 'for the shopping center associatic:Jn said they spent an average of $216 during the seven days ended Dec. 2I, down 9 percent from the same period last . year. This,kind of weak interest is having an effect on prices. The kind of nanstop disco11nting that defined this year's holiday season is becoming a year-round factor. At Home Depot, the DeWalt cordless electric dri II that sold for$140 last year was selling for $129 this year. Retail piice increases have failed to keep up with inflation. But when . stuff gets cheaper, people buy more. Retailers' sale~ are boosted. "In real terms, it's not bad," says Mike Niemira, vice president at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New York, about diminished expectations for holiday sales. Altogether, retailers may have had a better holiday season than is readily apparent. "Why should retail sales increase more?" asks John Konarski, research director for the shopping center association. "Competition for the dollar is even more intensive. (Consumers) can use the money for so many things, and, even with those options, retail is managing to show an Stressful drive to the child-care center becomes worse in nasty weather By BETSY RUBINER The Des Moines Register Picture this: A young child with tears running down her checks, waiting at the window of a child-care center for Daddy. .

To lest yourself, cover die Wesl and South hands. South is.!n !~tree no!fUmp, having shown a balanl:ed 1214 p~ints with four hearts. You~ panner (Wesl) leads a fourth-highest club two: four, queen, ace. Declarer plays a heart to dummy's ace and another heart. You duck this round but must win the third after dummy releases a ·spade. Wbat now? . Sitting East was Gunnar Hallberg. He is a Swedish intemalional who spends most of his time playing rubber bndge at the TGR club in Lon· don. The joumalisl award· wenl to Robert Sheehan for his write-up in The Times. ·The key deduclion is thai declar· er mus1 have !he diamond ace. If he dido 't, he would have anacked thai suil immediately, while the he"\"' ace was s1i11 in the dummy as an entry. And if Soulh holds lhe diamond ace he already has eighl lricks in th~ . bank: IIRe·hearu, four diamonds and one club. Thus. if Easl returns a club, the p.lay many would make, il eslab· lishes dummy's jack as declarer·s nimh trick Hallberg also realized Soulh needed the spade queen for his opening btd, so leading thai suit was fruilless. lnslead, Hallberg switched lo.the dia, rnond l 0. It was such a hannless.l 1ooking play, but it destroyed declar· 1 er's communications. If South won in hand and played a club toward dummy's jack. he wpuld never score the fourth heart. And he couldn't cash the fourth heart firsl, because dummy didn't hllve a card to spare. Try it and · CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos · Celebrity CiCit*~ . .
