It happened ... in Syracuse

20 YEARS AGO, JAN. 21,1970 Ernest and Ruby Poole of Ideal Beach, Lake Wawasee, left Friday by auto for San Diego, Calif., where they plan a vacation with friends. An aviation enthusiast, Big Ern plans to stop off at Cape Girardeau, Mo., to attend an airplane auction (something like a car auction) and perhaps buy a plane. They hail from Columbus, Ohio, where Ern is in the sandwich packaging business.

Girod seeks election

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer

Hoping to make the step from deputy prosecutor to the top spot in Kosciusko County, Warsaw resident Randall K. Girod announced his intention to run for prosecutor recently. “I’ve worked in the prosecutor’s office for four years and just loved working there,"' Girod said while announcing his decision last week. Working under current prosecutor Michael Miner, who decided not to seek re-election, Girod has performed many of the office functions, processing many criminal cases and handling several jury and bench trials. Deputy prosecutor since January 1985, the 30-year-old Republican received a bachelor of science degree in accounting from Indiana University, Bloomington, before graduating from Indiana University School of Law, Indianapolis, in 1984. Girod is a native of Fort Wayne, having moved to Warsaw in June, 1984. He served as a law clerk for the Indiana Supreme Court, Indianapolis, for one year and was a congressional intern for Congressman John Myers in 1980. “I just enjoy what I do. I’m really proud of the (prosecutor’s) office as it is now and want to continue that good record,” he said. While Girod anticipates few changes in the county post, he does expect it to return to a fulltime position. It had been a fulltime post from 1980 to 1987, before Miner changed it to a part-

Reducing risk of lead poisoning

For centuries lead has been a component of glazing material such as ceramic dishes, bowls and pitchers. Generally this is not a problem, but it can become one if the leaded glazes are not fired to high enough temperatures when they are manufactured. When this occurs, the lead can be dissolved by acid foods and contaminate food. Repeatedly consuming such lead can have devastating health effects on children and adults. To reduce the risk of lead poisoning from ceramic dinnerware, experts advise the following: — Avoid use of ceramic ware for storing food. Instead use glass or plastic containers, especially for storing orange, tomato and other fruit juice, wines, tomato sauces and vinegar. Acid in the food can increase Uieii/naant &f lead released into food. — Beware of ceramic products purchased in other countries, me safety of dinnerware can vary from country to country . — Don’t use antiques or collectibles to hold food or beverages. They may have been made before federal standards were imposed

I think he (Miner) found that the county workload demands a full-time prosecutor,” Girod said, adding, “We’ve had a lot of recent drug raids and the best is yet to come. ” Girod also hopes to see a victim/witness coordinator employed by the county with grant money. “I think there is some state grant money available and this person would help the victim through the court system — something that we don’t always have the time to do,” he said. Girod is the only attorney, thus far, to announce his intention to run for the post

Seven diverse Baltic nations combine dissent with optimism

I By NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSSERVICE

WASHINGTON - The Baltic Sea, a buffer zone between East and West since the days of the Vikings, remains on military alert today, its seven bordering nations grouped into three forces: NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with Denmark and West Germany; the Warsaw Pact, with East Germany, Poland, and the Soviet Union; and two skittish neutrals, Finland and Sweden. “The sea has become a chessboard for their maneuvers, patrols, provocative flight patterns, and electronic surveillance, with each side monitoring the other into a kind of half-cordial, grudging stalemate that wastes millions of dollars and thrives more on momentum than on crisis,” writes Priit J. Vesilind in the current National Geographic. But, he writes, “What I began last spring as a story of confrontation has turned into a story of optimism.” The optimism has a dual base: the political thaw in the eastern Baltic — the Soviet Union has declared that the cold war is over — and the common enemy, pollution of the sea, which promises to press the littoral nations into common cause. “These are heady, risky days on the eastern Baltic, front lines of the Soviet experiments in openjwssJ glasnost) qnd restructuring. (perestroika), writes Vesilincu Who was born in Estonia. '* : “What was closed is open. What was secret lies revealed. Palms sweat among those who have held power by fear or graft. Officials throw up their hands, unsure of new rules. Soviet society has never been on such display. Leningrad, Russia’s traditional window on the West, finds the world peering back in fascination.” Three of the Soviet Union’s 15 constituent republics are Baltic states; Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. There, Moscow has finally admitted its occupation of these nations by force in 1940, against the will of their people. All three states are experiencing an epidemic of new ideas, seductive and bordering on the seditious. Orthodox communism has collapsed. “Speech has become the new intoxicant,” writes Vesilind. "Once forbidden words, sentences, emotions, tumble over one another, leaving the population light-headed in disbelief.” But, he warns, the Baltic experiment plays with a deepsmoldering political fire: The Communist Party has been a party to the movements so far, but Moscow may have underestimated the impact of offering free speech to such longsuppressed people. The national flag of Estonia, banned as recently as last spring, now flies over farmhouses; Estonia," Vesilind writes. "Many fear a short spring, the rumble of tanks. Others sense the beginning of the disintegration of the Soviet Union as a colonial power." In the pollution crisis, 70 million people burden the Baltic with their massive industrial output. The sea is sluggish and virtually tideless, much like a lake. Its marine life depends on replenishment of its salinity by storms that force North Sea water through the Danish straits. But the Baltic has remained stagnant for a record 10 years. Humans have compounded the sea's own limitations by overloading it with chemicals

In 1974, the seven Baltic nations signed an extraordinary working agreement that established a permanent commission to protect the maring environment. The commission, chaired in turn by professionals from each nation, meets annually. Some progress is being made: decreased DDT and PCB levels, reduced mercury concentration in fish, the control of discharges and oil spills from ships. In

Handwriting analysis —

A powerful tool for many

Submitting someone’s handwriting for a handwriting may give more knowledge about them than they know about themselves — and it's legal to do it even without their permission. All that is neded is a small handwriting sample —a signature will do. More and more American businesses are using handwriting analysis as a tool when deciding who to hire and who to promote. Handwriting specialists claim they can come within about 80 to 95 percent accuracy in describing the personality of the writer. More^..than 2,000 American firms — including insurance companies, banks and manufacturers — currently employ the services of a graphologist. Graphology is handwriting analysis. According to Robert J. Murley. president of VMN, Inc. —a company specializing in confidential handwriting analysis — it is “the study of personalitythrough the interpretation of written strokes. The same brain functioning that dictates per sonality also commands the writing process, so that hand writing is actually ‘brainwriting’." Doctors use it to diagnose illness and to monitor the effects of drugs and therapy.

March 1988, the states agreed to cut by 50 percent their input of nutrients, heavy metals, and organic toxins by 1995. East-West cooperation doesn't end with fighting pollution.

Widely Used In Europe Murley says that in Europe, where handwriting analysis was developed, it is used regularly by some 85 percent of all corporations. It is taught at the Ph D. level at major universities in France and Germany and is a required subject for Swiss medical students. He says that, in the United States, there are no laws restricting the application of graphology and it has never been successfully challenged in the courts. More to the point, graphology is frequently accepted as court evidence. Handwriting analysis can not determine age, sex, or racb, making it completely nondiscriminatory.
