CAT'S NAME IS ALL WRON(-q Program to help return lost Alzheimer patients The Associated Press NEVADA, Iowa — At first, there was the memory loss so common to Alzheimer's patients. Myrtle Fitzgerald could no longer remember things that had been in grained in her since childhood, such as family recipes. Then came her wandering, even under the watchful eye of Don, her husband. "I lost her a couple of times. She was always on the go,” he said. Once, during a trip to the gro cery store, he didn't know what happened to her until he saw po lice in the parking lot. 'T noticed the police car and an officer talking to a lady. I figured that was a good place to start. ''This lady turned around and said, 'Is that her sitting in the front seat of my car?' I looked and sure enough, it was Myrtle sitting in there.” Some Alzheimer's patients aren't as lucky as Mrs. Fitzgerald, 73, who has been living at a care center in Story City since last Feb ruary. Some wander and aren't found. The national Alzheimer's Asso ciation is encouraging families to enroll loved ones in its new Safe Return Program. For a $25 one time fee, patients receive bracelets and necklaces inscribed with their name and a toll-free, 24-hour tele phone number linked to a nation wide network of 17,000 police agencies. The family also received labels that can be sewn into Alzheimer's patients' clothing and a wallet with an identification card. Memory loss, confusion and disorientation are some of the more recognizable symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, which afflicts four million Americans. Wandering "is a significant part of this disease,” said Carol Dingeldey, national coordinator for the association's Safe Return Program. “\ think every caregiver should keep in mind that even though a person with Alzheimer's disease has not exhibited wandering be havior and it may not be a prob lem behavior at any particular point, every individual who has the disease is at risk of wander ing,” she said. More than 2,100 people pa tients have been enrolled in the program since its inception last April, according to Lincla Robert son, a spokeswoman for the Alzheimer's Association in Chica go. To date, she said, the program has helpeoTind 38 missingpa- tients. "It's a program designed to help) the person with Alzheimer's but it also gives peace of mind for family members," Dingeldey said. Bobbitt's not alone: man's testicles cut off by wife in '92 The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — John Bobbitt is not the only man in America whose wife took a sharp instrument to his genitals. But Jaime Macias, whose testicles were cut off with scissors, has received far less notoriety. The attack occurred in the early hours of Sept. 20, 1992. Macias woke from a drunken stupor about 4 a.m. and felt a burning pain be tween his legs, both attorneys said. Deputy District Attorney Larry Longo con tends Macias' 34-year-old wife, Aurelia, was angry at her 36-year-old husband for dancing with other women at a neighbor's party and severed his testicles after he passed out. Los Angeles Police Officer Brad Rhodes re sponded to a family member's 911 call. Mrs. Macias, speaking in Spanish, told police "something to the effect that he was cheating on her and she wanted to keep him from cheating on her again,” Rhodes said. A bloody pair of 5-inch-long, chrome-plated scissors was found on the kitchen table. "She had that hate look in her eyes," Rhodes said of Mrs. Macias. "She wasn't emotionally upset." His maiming has remained relatively ob scure because, unlike Bobbitt, Macias refuses to talk about it. Also unlike Bobbitt, he has for given his wife and wishes nothing more than to resume their life together. "Mr. Macias wishes that the case would be over with so they can go on with their lives,' said Nan Whitfield, public defender for "He has forgiven his wife. He just wishes the D.A. would.” Grand jury to indict shooter in subway deaths The Associated Press MINEOLA, N.Y. — A grand jury will hand up an indictment Tuesday charging the man accused in a shooting rampage on a commuter train that left six people dead, a source told The Associated Press. The charges against Colin Ferguson were not disclosed by the source, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity. Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dil lon scheduled a news conference for Tuesday to discuss the indictment. Ferguson's court-appointed attorney, An thony Falanga, said he was tentatively told that Ferguson would be arraigned on any charges on Wednesday. "I don't know what the charges are, but we can only speculate that the indictment will cer tainly include murder, weapons charges and assault,” Falanga said. Six people were killed and 19 were injured in the Dec. 7 rampage on a crowded Long Is land Rail Road commuter train. Ferguson, 35, of New York City, has been held without bail on four murder charges in the shooting. A Nassau County judge ruled on Jan. 7 that Ferguson was competent to stand trial, clearing the way for the grand jury to be gin hearing evidence in the case. When he was arrested, Ferguson, who is black, carried handwritten papers in which he railed against what called injustices perpetrat ed by whites, Asians and "Uncle Tom'' blacks, authorities said. Falanga said he was considering pursuing an insanity defense. Somali warlords reach peace agreement The Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia - The warring clans of Mogadishu reached a peace agreement Sun day and promised to punish peo ple who violate it under harsh Is lamic laws. The two warlords who control the divided city, Gen. Mohamed Farrah Aidid and Ali Mahdi Mo hamed, did not attend the three- day conference, or appear to send any of their top aides to it. But it could put pressure on them because both belong to the clans that reached the agreement under the leadership of an influ ential clan elder. Imam Moham med Imam Omar. Aidid and Ali Mahdi's forces have fought many times along the cease-fire line separating northern and southern Mogadishu. And many people believe that Aidid — who recently escaped a harsh U.S. military crackdown and who wants all U.N. forces to leave the country — still hopes to take over Somalia and become its leader. The peace agreement also comes at a time when many clans reportedly are rearming and erect ing defenses in preparation for battle after the U.S. military fin ishes withdrawing by March 31. "I believe this meeting is fruit ful because the people are fed up with war and they want peace,” Omar told a news conference after the agreement was signed at a ho tel in northern Mogadishu. "Ali Mahdi and Aidid are clansmen, so they must follow the agreements reached by their clans,” he said, shortly after the conference ended with hundreds of clan members and delegates cheering, chanting and praying to Allah with their heads bowed. Neither warlord was immedi ately available for comment Sun day in a city where most people rush home as soon as the sun sets to avoid being robbed and shot by its many roving bandits. Italian Ambassador Mario Scialoja, who briefly visited Omar during Sunday's closing session, spoke to reporters: "This could produce a breakthrough in the po litical process of this city in a few weeks if it remains popular among the clans. ... That could happen even though Ali Mahdi and Aidid weren't here.” Although the United Nations reportedly paid for the delegates' accommodations and security at the hotel, its officials did not at tend the meeting. If they had, Ai did probably would have immedi ately rejected the agreement. Peace talks in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, in December collapsed and Aidid blamed the breakdown in part on U.N. interference. The peace agreement signed Sunday by elders from several clans, including Aidid's Habre Gedirs and Ali Mahdi's Agbals, says the clans will come together and live in peace in Mogadishu. It says the clansmen must for give each other for the 350,00(1 deaths and widespread destruc tion that occurred during the war fare and famine that followed the overthrow of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in January 1991. Peoplf who stole property during the mayhem must return it in accor dance with Islamic law. The peace agreement alsej urges Mogadishu's clans to cracl down on all bandits in the city even their own clansmen. <: -W'WsSWM &•?: ; v'.M i.:
