Ac~ording to Meigs County Sheriff James M. Soulsby, investi- ' gation into the incident is continuing. , By ANN LEVIN Associated Press Writer · The pilot of a medical helicopter donned a feindeer sui! to deliver presents to hoap~bound children · on a Christmas that saw thousands of Americans volunteer to work in soup kitchens and homeless ~hel­ ters. For the first time in si~ years, there were no Americans in capti vity in Lebanon, and several newly freed hostages enjoyed their freedom in private,celebrations with relatives. The mllitary was also formally at rest, but more !han 1,000 soldiers and Marines at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba kept busy overseeing the more than 6,000 Haitian refugees awaiting word on their immigration status. Meanwhile, the Christmas spirit expressed itself Wednesday in varying ways across the country. In Charlottesville, Va., the crew of the Pegasus amb~lance service delivered presents to sick children at the University of Virginia Hospital. "We see so many downside things, running people into the hospital, 1hat I thought it would be an upturn for morale to see how the patients are doing," said chief helicopter pilot Buck Carlton, who Paul Tsongas have sworn off PAC contributions. They say PACs give excessive influence to special interest groups at the expense of the individual voter. But Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, the two major Democratic candidates who take PAC money, say that's a meaningless and maybe even hypocritical position. ''At one time or another - in one life or another- they've all taken PAC money," H~rkin aide Lorraine Voles said. "It's a campaign coiwersion." A PAC can be formed by business, interest or labor groups, or others who want to influence the political process, as a vehicle for making campili'gn contributions. PACs can g1ve up to $5,000 per federal election to a candidate, five times the limit on individual contributions. The money-driven politiCI\1 system is the central theme of Brown's "mad-as-hell" campaign for the nomin~tion. The former California governor raised money for candi- · dates and received it himself before deciding he was disgusted with the entire process. Now he blames special interests for government grid " lock and castigates candidates who take their money. Clinton's 1990 campaign reports show he accepted at least $48,000 from 45 PACs in his. last gu~ernatorial race. His campai~n repons from the 1986 gubernatonal campaign also are dotted with PAC contributions. - - . reach past the Jewish community," said organizer Nancy Welber Barr. In Atlanta, the Rev.

MEARS AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON - With Mario Cuomo and Jesse Jackson both sidelined for 1992, the six Democratic candidates for the White House are heading in10 a New Year's sprint to find a frontrunner - and perhaps a consensus candidate. · An early decision on a nominee, so that Democrats can campai$n against President Bush instead of each other, is a goal of the party's ch:urman, Ronald H. Brown. That's one of the reasons he'd prodded Cuomo to get in or out · The New York governor's no-go decision, seven weeks after Jackson's, leaves the active candidates to test, and perhaps dispel, explanations and excuses for the Democratic defeats in five of the past six presidential elections. The explanation has been that to win nomination, Democratic campaigners have had to cater to the lef~ taking positions in the primary election season that proved disabling in the fall, when the Votes it U!lc.es to win are closer to the center. Pressures like those are less likely without Jackson, the black campaigner who laid claim to frontrunner status as a prospective candidate on the strength of his second-place showing in 1988. He'd sought and won concessions from successive Democratic nominees before endorsing them. . ' Now, he says, he's waiting to hear what the current candidates would do 10 deal with the plight of the underclass, the problems of the cities, and to reorder Ainerican economic priorities, before deciding which, if any, to back. . "This is no time to make a choice prematurely," he said. "we know the rhythm of the season. This is the pre-season." But not for long. After a holiday pause, the Democratic campaign will be intense, heading into a New Hampshire primary that will son the f1eld on Feb. 18. By the end of March, 26 states will make primary or caucus decisions. And Jackson the non-candidate won't have the leverage he had 1984, when he won nearly 3.3 miUion votes in the primaries, and in 1988, when he more ihan doubled that number; winning primaries and caucuses in 14 slates. • When Cuomo fmally opted out on Friday, the decision not only freed financial and political backers who, as he said, will now be looking for another horse. It also took a liberal landmark out of the field. Cuomo would have started with about30 percent of Democrats saying they preferred him, according to the pollsters, about three times the backillS any active candidate showed. - So other candidates looking for liberal voteslin the primaries would,. have had to distinguish their positions from his, probably edging to the left of the charismatic governor. "I think that you are going to have to earn the presidency by coming forward with an economic plan and other things that are real," Cuomo said as he stepped aside on Friday. "I don't believe we've done that yet" ·He said Sunday that a Democrat can beat Bush "with the proper message,'' and promised to suppon whoever wins the primaries. Until Cuomo decided he could not run because of the New York budget crisis and his stalemate with Republicans over set~ing it, the assumption was that be would dominate the liberal field and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, the centrist southern candidate, would be his chief rival. While it may yet be Clinton versus somebody as Democratic fmalists, the first poll of New Hampshire Democrats since Cuomo's decision gives the edge to Paul E. Tsongas, the former senator from Massachusetts. A survey commissioned by the Concord Monitor gives him 25 percent, Clinton 17, Nebraska Sen, Bob Kerrey 14, with Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, former Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. of California, and Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder trailing. . And there were more undecideds :- 2~~t- than any candidate got · . ·., • That unset~ed outlook, Bush's slump in the public opiniOn polls, and the shift in voter concerns to economic issues, all were unforeseen back in the ' Democrats' dropout summer, when prospective candidates took turns saymg no. , I• • .Cuomo said he was sorry he was to be tied down by the budget, and >aished he could run, or even wait -: An earlier dropout insists he has no regrets, despite the changed politicai landscape. · "You never get a little twinge, a lit~e tug?" that non-runner, Rep.

Let's put off the.boat ride .... Forec~asters One of the great ironies of my life is that while I was a cub newspaper reporter, with my heart still mired in the "back to the land" movement and dreaming of a cabin in the woods, the yuppie era dawned and my editor decided I would be the new "trends" columnist. I was plucked from the cab of my small pic.kup truck and slung head·ftrSt irlto"Uie unfamiliar world of Zinfandels, BMWs and American Express gold cards. As I trod gingerly through the dog droppings of licentious con· sumption, my most memorable feeling was, "Where was I when all !his was stattin~?" When did all these people get mterested in all these expensive foreign cars and fine wines and how did the vint· ners have 'the foresi~ht to mash enough grapes to sauate a whole generation about to throw thei( Budweisers into the salvage yards next to their American cars? I know how Rip Van Winkle must have felt when he woke up. But the dawning of the present superiors thought betier of the idea: NBC was notified when the arrests were made and was allowed to film that with their own erews. The footage· was originally scheduled to be used at length on the now-defunct show "Expose," but NBC ended up using only a shon segment on the NBC Nigh~y News on' June 21. It was enoush to give the defense lawyer~ legal fod, der. . · On Dec. 9, the judge in San Francisco ruled that NBC had acted as a government agent in an unprecedented drug investigation in which Customs "shared investigative data with NBC, transported NBC personnel, hauled NBC equipment ... and affirmatively called NBC on the scene at the time of the artest" NBC got a big scoop, Customs got five arrests and both got bundle of legal prob!ems. The harm done by Customs pales in comparison to the magnitude of the heroin haul, but the judge said the cozy amingement with the media showed poiential for "abuse and corruption." For example, the government could begin showing favoritism to certam news media, or could tailor its law enforcement activities to meet the demands of the cameras. All of that could mean that the defendant didn't get a fair shake. In the words of the defense lawyer, Customs' conduct was "nothing shon of reprehensible." Neither Customs nor NBC would comment on the pickle they are in. If NBC refuses to tum over its tapes on First Amendment grounds, the .judge's ruling could set the stage for a rare showdown between the Justice Department and one of the big three networks.

GM, Xerox, McDonnell Don· glas, Eastman Kodak and Westinghouse have announced big layoffs. More stunning, so bas IBM. State and local governments are pink· slipping. Unions are helpless. It's not just hittin~ the once-emP.Ioyed; many states, mcluding California, are rolling back welfare payments. Americans are justi\wbly glum and scared. Is it just another recession, or is it something else? Might there be a good side to it? As the designated hitter on the Hoora)l Team, I offer a broad thought about what's happening, and how we can best direct it · · It is the end of American-style Big-Daddyism. Welcome to 21stcentury American individualism. A job with IBM once implied a lifetime contnll:t; the pay was high and the benefits were out of sight So too a "job with the govern· ment"- any government- was regarded 'th as very s~ble, ·and also Ioaded WI benefi IS. umons promoted stability, wage D<><n, health plans and pension benefits. People recoi ving government benefits often got them because they were "entitled." lt was auto· matic and secure. It became a way of life, and a pretty good one. One reason it's said that "income hasn't gone up" is that so much value has come as "benefits," which don't count (statistically) as "income," except to recipients. Now, accelerating change. Foreign competition means businesses must run as taut ships; diminished tax revenues mean governments have to be business-like. The buzz words are "restructuring," "lean and mean," "downsizing" and "privatizing." That means layoffs. And that frays the cords of loyalty to corporation, government and union. An old American word has resurfaced: self-reliance. That need not be bad. In fact it can be fme, if it's worked out right It's certainly in a grand American tradition of "rugged individualism ." This is not .a cotton-candy country . We do best when we remember that People gelting laid off can be 8 catastrophe, but only an unhappy · . · b1 ar. mconvemence 1·cot hor f! available. So far, the evtdence is positive; 20 million new jobs came on line in the 1980s, during restructuring. The current unemployment rate is low by earlier recesslonary standards (under. 7 percent). Jobs are mostly churning, not evaporating. The pension system has bent to the new turbulence. Spurred by 1978Iegislation; most major corporations now offer "defmed contribution" plans. That means pensions are owned and run by mdividuals : They're portable and accommodate the churn in~. Proposed changes making Indtvidual Retirement Accounts (IRA) fully tax deductible are on target. Increasing the IRA ceiling would make sense. , M~ical care is another story. Corp6rate health plans don't help those laid off. If you want to switch jobs, you may have to pay higher rates because of pre-existing medical conditions . All that yields tragedy, or decreased labor mobility- neither a recipe for a new age of individualism. The best of t·he new medical reform proposals call for earmarked tax credits, or vouchers, to provide individualized health insurance for all, employed or not Americans are al10 doing it by theJI!S~Ives. Oovernment job retrammg programs help, but the surge in college auendance is coming from people in their middle years seeking personalized retraining on their own. Other ttends are feeding resurgent individualism: ' - -- - - telecommuting, llextime, outsourcing and self-employment.

Gorbachev, whose reforms freed tens of millions from authoritarian Communist rule and encouraged the end of the Cold War, said in his televised resignation speech that he had no choice but to follow the course of reform. He acknowledged that radically changing the habits of a people long stifled by a despotic bureaucracy and salvaging an economy "mutilated" by an "insane militarization" turned out far more complicated than he expected. "However, work of historic significance has been accomplished. The totalitarian system which deprived the country of an opponunity to become successful and prosperous long ago has been eliminated," he said. Gorbachev made clear he was withdrawing only from the government and said he would continue to play a role in the loosely formed commonwealth endorsed by II of 12 former Soviet republics on Sat· urday. After the speech , he signed a decree giving President Boris N. Yeltsin of Russia,.charge of the 27,000-warhead ~viet nuclear arsenal.

By DEBORAH SEWARD Associated Press Writer MOSCOW (AP) - Russia' s flag, symbol of the new order, flew alone over the Kremlin today. Its government has won the recognition of the United States and otller major powers now that Mikhail S. Gorbachev has stePJl!ld down. But the mood in Moscow is anything but ebullient: the ruble is nearly wonhless, shortages are widespread and residents are wondering how they will cope with the lifting of state-controlled price ceil· ings next week.

Russia, which has taken over the Soviet Union's miniS, started print· ing 500-ruble bank notes for the first time this week and had promised to distribute them throughout the former Soviet Union.

"This is a Christmas I'll remember all right," said oneevac. uee, 89-year-old Evelyn Shanklin. The Colorado River was expect· e.d to crest at 1 feet above flood stage. Flooding had originally been predicted for Wednesday, but the forecast was revised as up_stream farmland soaked up some of the water and slowed the river's rise. Mayor Garland Novasad warned that the delay doesn't mean the danger has passed. Weather officials said flood damage is likely throughout S041heast Tex:as over the next several days as rain· swollen rivers carry water to the Gulf of Mexico.

This new provision has ~r­ reaching consequences for current and future Medicare- beneficiaries, according to Ed Peterson, manager of the Athens Social Security office which serves Meigs County. Peterson said that the law guarantees that for six months immedi· ately following the effective date of Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance), persons aged 65 or older caimot be denied Medigap insqrance because of healtll problems. All Medigap policies sold after Nov. 5, 199l'are covered under this law.' "Because this open enrollment is available on a one-time limited basis, it is important that you understand what is involved and who may be affected," he said. First; if your Part B coverage becam.e effective after Nov. 1, you are entitled to tile guaranteed open enrollment period for six months from the effective date of your coverage. And, if your Part B coverage The Lydia Council of the Brad· ford Church of Christ met for a catered dinner at the church with Carolyn Nicholson offering grace. Following dinner, devotions were given by Becky Amberger, "Let' s Decorate the Wreath" and "Christmas is More." Secret sis1ers were revealed and new names drawn . An ornament and gift exchange was also held. A shOrt business meeting was conducted by outgoing president Karlita Stump.

I became effective from June 1 to No.v. 1, 199I, the guaranteed open · enrollment period ends six months, after the effective date of the coverage. If, for example, the Part B effective !late was SepL 1991, the open enrolhlient period extends through Match 1991. Bl)t, if your Medicare Part B coverage was effective bef!lte June 1,1991, you are not entitled to a guaranteed open enrollment period under the· new law. Of if you are under age 65, disabled, and enrolled in Medicare Parts A. and B, you are not eli· gible for the open enrollment peri· od guaranleCS. . Second, if you are eligible for Medicare Part B buttumed it down in the paSt, you can sign up for it anytime fr\)m January through March of each year. Once your Part B coverage is effective (in July of the year in which you enroll), you will have the regular six month guaranteed open enrollment period in which to select.a Medigap policy. Third, individuals who continue to work after age 65, and are covered by a company health insur· . ance plan and have decided to defer . e~l!fflent in Pan Bare protected.

"I think it's a very important observation,'' said Dr. Henry Lynch of Creighton University in. Omaha, Neb. " We have to be very cautious in all patients about undue exposure to radiation." . But Dr. John Boice of the National Cancer Institute said he was skeptical of the findings , in pan because the researchers could not precisely say how much radialion the women's chests had received. "One should be very cautious in interpreting these data,' ' Boice said. "They appear 10 be preliminary, based on small numbers, with very limited radiation exposure information." The study was based on 1,599 relatives of people with ataxiatelangiectasia. The doctors compared the subjects' can·cer ris~ with that of 821 of their spouSes. Nineteen women studied were diagnosed with breast cancer after the start of the six-year study. Their radiation exposure was compared with the exposure of 57 others who ;.,ere cancer-free. Half l.he ca.ncer patient.s had been exposed to X-rays, compared with about 20 percent·of the cancer-free patients. The researchers said X-ray exposure w.as aSSQciate4 with a sixfold increase in cancer risk in these women. The researchers counted only X· ,ray procedures that exposed women to moderate doses of radiation. These included up11er gastrointestinal series and barium· enemas. They did not countless in ten· sive exposure, such as mammo~ grams or dental X-rays. Mammograms are X-ray tests that .are routinely used. to spot breast cancer. In his report, Swift said that the risk of this lest might actually outweigh its advantages in women 'l'ho C81fY the AT gene. Lynch cautioned that the new report should not dissuade women from getting mammograms, since , early detection of the disecse is the single most important way of pre,venting breast cancer deaths.

He must try to ease trade friction with Japan 's most important ally without appearing to cave in to pressure from Washington. Some political observers are wondering whether Miyazawa is up to that challenge, pointing out that he has been stumbling along ever sin ce taking office last month. , Some commentators even suggest a poor perfonnance could lead to the collapse of his administration, . although that appears unlikely. "We can expect virtually nothing in the summit from someone who has failed so miserably to exercise leadership domestically, " said political commentator Minoru Morita. Indeed, the prime minister has seemed unable to conD'ol events in his brief tenurf. Opposition lawmakers took advantage of a special parliament session to pose tough questions about his involvement in the influence-peddling scandal that forced him to resign as finance minister in 1988. Outcries within his own party then forced his administration to withdraw a tax plan that would have created a $4 billion pool to use during future international crises like the Persian Gulf war.

Stuffed toys miss· Christmas CLEVELAND (AP) - There are 121,176 little Santa Bears that never made it into a Christmas stocking,this year. On July 2, the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission issued a warning letter declaring the Taiwan-made Santa Bears a "banned .hazardous substance" and ordered the 8-inch long fuzzy toys pulled from store shelves. The decision came after the commission subjected Santa Bears to tests in which their eyes and noses were ~ulled off and were determined to be potentia II y dangerous if swallowed by youngsters, according to coun documents. That was bad news for Solon, Ohio-based Maze! Co., which buys discontinued and overstocked merchandise fot resale to retail outlets. Six months before the Santa Bears were banned, Mazel paid $60,588 for several truck loads of the toys in preparation for the Christmas shopping seaSDn. On Monday, Maze] sued the company that imported the bears, Davtdcraft Corp., of Lincolnwood, IlL, seeking damages of $86,036.

Scherer has been a frequent contributor to Republican campaigns, including Rinehart's and Lashutka's, the Dispatch reported. He is a friend and business part· ncr of R.

State Budget Director Greg Browning blames the recession for a recent downward revision in tax revenue estimates that indicate a $275 million shortfall for the fiscal year endlng June 30. Brisker-than.. expected Christ· mas shopping may have eased the proble_m•..b~\ Bro'!Vning won't have December sales tax reports until early next month. He said the revenue drop, coupled with $165 million in mandatory Medicaid and other spending increases, means the state will have to raise $440 million through cuts, tax boosts or both to balance this year's budget. The Ohio Constitution requires the governor to ensure that the budget is balanced at the end of each fiscal year. The Legislature adopted the state's $27 billion two-year budget in August Voinovich outlined in general terms last week his ideas for solving the problem. They included spcndlng cuts of as much as 5 per· cent annually, mainly in non-essential programs. . He also proposed some '' revenue enhancements" which he said woulcl keep intact his campaign promise to hold the line on major taxes. The proposals included a 10cen t per package boost in the cigarette taX, the end of a 1.5 percent tax discount which retailers receive for collecting the sales tax, and the turning of state-run liquor stores over to private businesses in a move that would eliminate about 1,000 clerks' jobs. · Those proposals, which could generate about $200 million, were rejected during last year's budget deliberations. But aid es said Voinovich will insist that they be put pack on the table. Aronoff said the state almost surely will spend $100 million it has in a "rainy day fund." While refu sing to disclose his proposals for raising money, Aronoff indicated that some may have come from colleagues in other states with budget problems. He said his plans would raise money without raising taxes.

One of Pomeroy's oldest businesses, the Excelsior Salt Works, will close in early January. George Ebersbach, manager, cited the decreased demand for products sold by Excelsior and the economic pressures of staying in business as the reasons for closing the business. While the number of employees has decreased over the past several years, the company still has eight men and women on the pa yroiL Three of those employees have worked there for many years. Jim Jett started with the company in 1952, 39 years ago, and is the oldest employee in tenns of years of service. His wife, Carol Baker Jett, office manager, has worked there nearly as long as her husband, many years on a part-time basis, the past 15 years full time. It is the only job she has ever held. Charles Landers began work there in 1964. The coal con tracts held by Excelsior have already been turned over to Zuspan of West Columbia, and the stock is steadily being depleted in preparation for the closing. Ehersbach said that he plans to have an auction sometime after the first of the year to finish off the sale of equipment and merchandise. As for what will happen to the building, no decisions have been made yet, Ebersbach said The Salt Works was founded in' 1860 by Bernhart Koehler and opemted by that famil y until 1950 when the Ebersbach family purchased the business. Ohio River Salt was produced there until 1975 when the Environmental Protection Agency called for a shutdown due to the smoke created by the huge coal-fired furnaces necessary to provide the heat needed in the process of 1umirig brine into salt Thirty-five tons of coa l were used to produce 30 tons of sal t in a 24-hour day. The operation used locally mined coal. The salt was made from natural brine pumped from a 1200 foot well located on the upper side to the back of the present Excelsior Salt Works build,ing. When produ ction of sal t ceased in Meigs County, it marked the end of deep-well operations in Ohio. The business was hard hit when to meet the EPA standards of emission, salt was no longer produced at Excelsior. Salt, although produced someplace else, remained a primary product of the Salt Works and the company diversified , selling coal, wood, gardening materials and feed for animals. . But the demand for the products sold at Excelsior has continued to decline, and now Ebersbach, whose father and uncle bought the company 40 years ago, is closing its doors. • • • • • I Chr ler.
