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.
