European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 6, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers letters dear Ann Landers recently you printed a letter about two Sisters who had not spoken to each other for 20 years. You were so Happy when they read something in your column that brought them together. Believe me Annil won t work for everyone. Take Riby sister please she called me up the Day before my birthday and announced that she never wanted to Sec me again. She gave no partic ular reason just said i was no Good and had caused her nothing but grief. I could t believe my ears. I have never done anything to Hurt her and there was absolutely no justification for her to land on me like that. I want to Tell you that these last six months without that temperamental Witch in my life have been heavenly. 1 no longer have to hear what an Esso b her Hus band is he is not and what an Angel her son is he in no nor do i shake when the phone rings for fear Hal she will be on the other end ready to rip me apart. So forgive me for saying this dear Ann your advice is terrific most of the time but in does t always work for everybody. I la sign this liberated in new York and Happy As a Clam dear new York Clam my advice is not nor was it Ever meant to be the one so that fits All variety. Circumstance Niter cases and your Case is certainly out of the Ordinary. Your sister sounds intensely hostile and she Nuy Well be a Bona fide wacko. When it is impossible to ret along with certain individuals your Besl bet is to ret along without them. Dear Ann Landers it a divorce. My sex husband i la temper l _ Rigac. After that left him. To get even he took off with All my belongings including my Toothbrush. For some Godforsaken reason i went Back to Mike when he resumed and promised that he would never hit me again. Within four months he gave me two Black eyes and fractured my Arm. I had him arrested for assault. He got a year s probation after soft soaping the judge. I am ashamed to Tell you that i look him Back Thyce months later. In a matter of weeks he attacked me with a baseball Bat. My family insisted Hal i get a divorce before he killed me. Shortly after the divorce i found out that Mike had been married to a woman in South Carolina and was supporting three children. During our marriage 1 could never figure out where All the Money was going. Now for the current trouble i am happily married to a wonderful Man. We have been together two years and our love grows stronger every Day. The problem Mike is constantly threatening us. We moved to anole or City 120 Miles away and got an unlisted phone num Ber. Us Mike found us. He wants me Back and says hell never give up. -. ,. 1 am afraid of the Lunatic and fear for my husband s safety. The police say there is nothing they can do unless he tries something. Sound familiar what can we do an terrified and praying dear terrified nobody should have to live in fear and that s Why we have Laws to protect Peop a Insl severely disturbed individuals like your sex husband. See a lawyer about a restraining order. The Mailer then goes to court and if the judge decides your complaint is valid Mike will be served with papers ordering him la sly Are a to Tam tend Loithi columnist Lindvi woj Coth your Zitnar.

History has shown hat prohibition Dot not work As you Point out both alcohol and tobacco products Are Legal substances. We a not want la legislate any individual s use of these products but we Are concerned and have established policies in Rej Tulane the effect of these substances on non users. For example except in designated areas smoking is not authorized where it can affect the health of other. Additionally rules and regulations prohibiting driving while intoxicated Del arc strictly enforced. If the army was tasked with prevention control and treatment of aids the Faircl action taken would be to subsidize Gay Bath houses. Next any intravenously injected narcotics would be legalized. Blood used for transfusions would be screened for the aids virus immediately after being Given to a Palicot. Finally a massive expensive system would be established for educating counselling and treating inc resultant aids victims. Of course if they still had aids after a month of counselling they would be chartered out of the human race. This May seem outlandish but it s precisely the Way the a w communal re couns Ellne centers is Early the army deals Wilh our two major Legal drugs alcohol identification and treatment. Alcoholism is a problem and nicotine. Alcoholics have the Community counsel ing Center As their last resort to cure an incurable disease. Heavy smokers can go to i quit classes at most Mcd Teal clinics or face the gradual health problems caused by heavy smoking at the very least making it More and More difficult to pass inc it test. These systems arc at Best Only partially successful. The irony is they treat problems fostered by government subsidized army programs. The class i store is a bad idea whose time has passed and inc same is True of cheap tobacco How Long Wilf the army keep sending soldiers the Brilliant message these things Are very bad for you but Well make them cheap and available if you want to a sgt. Isl class Robert s. Smith bin Laeh West Germany editor s note it. Col. Ronald a jut chief. Human resources division office of inc Dep Uty chief of staff personnel i1q Usa Reuh replies the army real i leg the potential negative health effects of both alcohol and tobacco products and pro thai huts for a lifetime and sobriety is maintained one Day at a time. However thousands of individual Sut Crins from alcoholism have in successfully rehabilitated. Due to an intensive Effort to educate members of the armed forces to the dancers of smoking and More importantly about the value of health promotion there Are fewer soldiers throughout . Army Europe who smoke today than in 1985. According to the annual Usa eur personnel opinion Survey 53.4 percent of Usa eur soldiers smoked in 1985, White Only 40.4 percent smoked in 1987, the most recent Survey year. This is a very positive army programs As you describe them Are not the reason for problems related to tobacco and alcohol use. Individual Choice to use or abuse is hit reason. The reason that the Cost of tobacco product and alcoholic beverages sold in . Forces facilities is less than in civilian facilities in the United states is because by Law no . Or Roc Jim lax is levied on these products when sold in military facilities. Thank the Opportunity to respond to your letter ii clearly Points Oul the complexity of dealing with issues involving individual rights and behaviour. Ii i i Reader feels base closings Long overdue this is in reference to he article about the possible closing of military bases in the Continental United states. The article states in part that not a single base has been closed since 1977. Voters if you can l Sec what s happening you need to Wake up and smell the what does the above Tell me just this people we arc not electing the kind of men and women to Public office who have inc guts and moral stamina to place the country s Good interests above their own self serv ing ones. I they re afraid thai if icy do close some bases Down that they la lose the next a action because some of their constituents will lose their jobs in the process. I differ with their opinion. I think trial a lot of the peo ple in their districts will recognize that this is an Over due measure. We have an enormous Federal deficit Hal is not going away. We have poor hungry and homeless pc. Pic in the thousands in our country who Aren t going away either. The billion to $5 billion saved from closing these obsolete bases could be used to address these two problem areas or others. Folks sometimes it lakes courage to do what s right let s Only Hope that our elected representatives show some. It s Long overdue. Sol. Joseph w. Stronger Darmstadt Wesl Germany writer comments on Marcos regime Well now let s All come Down on Ferdinand Marcos and his wife the big bad Crooks yes they May be thieves but Are they the Only ones with dirty hands Don t forget that the 20-year Marcos regime had the full support of the untied states government including billions of dollars i n Aid. It s unconscionable to think hat we gave Marcos All this Money for his use carte Blanche without full or at least reasonable accountability for it. Yes Marcos May be guilty but he s not solely to blame. Common sense says that there Are people in Pur own government who Are equally corrupt or at the least totally negligent and irresponsible but As usual Well never know who they Are As Long As we have a Good Scapegoat.
