European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 20, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11 Anh Landers dear Ann unders my wife and t have been mar ried 21 years and have a Good marriage. Our problem is a 17 year old daughter who became involved with drugs and alcohol four years ago. When Alice was 13 the was expelled from school. We got her into therapy but it did t help. She was kicked out of three schools within 10 months. Two years ago Alice came Home one night and assaulted her Mother while i was at work. My wife was hospitalized for six weeks with a Frac lured Skull. Right after that we moved to Michigan and bought a Home with a full basement. As a form of punishment we started to keep Alice in the basemen for 24 hours when she broke her curfew or if she came Home High on drugs or alcohol. The 24-hour punishment somehow stretched into several months. Our daughter has been chained to her bed Frame in our basement for three months now and we Are afraid to let her out Tor fear of getting Inlo trouble with the Law. We know what we re doing is wrong but we take care of our daughter s needs and at least we know where she is. Her Altitude Lias become very hostile since she has been locked in the basement. When we serve her meals she curses us and throws things. The other Day when i brought her upstairs for her once a week Shower she broke the bathroom window and Cut her Arm badly. We were Able to Slop the bleed ing but we Are afraid that her Arm is infected. The antibiotics we be been giving her Don t seem to be working. We Don t know How we can gel her medi Cal attention without arousing the suspicions of a Doc Tor. When Alice turns 1g, we plan to release her from the basement and allow her to be on her own. Please ask Odd to forgive us and Tell us what to do. Needing guidance in Detroit dear Detroit you must do several things in this order first unchain your daughter and take her to the emergency room of the nearest Hospital at once.

Happy holidays Mike Causey Worms West Germany writer s recycling question answered we lived in German housing for the first Ito years of our tour Here and enjoyed it. One difference from stateside life was that we were expected to sort our trash. Materials for recycling paper Metal Etc went into one Container and the real garbage food floor sweepings Etc went into the other. Though in first seemed inconvenient keeping two Irish cans soon be came routine. We were Happy to do our bit in helping Germany conserve. At the quarters where we now live and in other military housing areas i be seen All trash goes into the same dumpsters. There Are no provisions for sorting out male Jato the could be recycled. This lends me to of Jve that he. Us military has no adopted local standards for trash disposal. I realize that some military people Are unconcerned about the future of their trash. The american housing area where we live is conspicuously More littered than the surrounding German areas. It would be difficult to enforce a mandate on trash sorting when some people can t even gel it into one trash can. However others within the military Community do have a social conscience. For these people receptacles for recyclable material could be provided for use on a voluntary basis. Perhaps the Sale of aluminium and other materials would even help defray the Cost of the trash disposal service. -.,. With the current emphasis on re utilization within the military it would certainly be appropriate to encourage recycling. This is especially True Here where we re constantly reminded that Berlin is no place to be wasteful. I m sure our Host nation would appreciate any Effort. Is there some logical reason for the current trash disposal procedures and Are there any plans for change in the future Cene Lere l. Neb West Berlin editor s note m. Of Wandner chief utilities Dir Islon directorate of engineering and housing Berlin military Community replies during the past Lite Yean numerous attempts have been nude to initiate and a Conrace the collection of recyclable materials within the . Army housing areas in Berlin and in other areas. These attempt have not been successful became the containers us Hoob clearly marked were used for nil ends of nun. After continued efforts to educate housing and billets occupants and other users of trash receptacles All at tempts for recycling bully were discontinued. The writer should be informed that the turn in of recyclable materials such As Glass Metal paper and cardboard no longer offers any profit. Costs Lor recycling Hare Crown considerably. In would be economically n feast by for the firms id sort the materials in the containers. The entire procedure can Only function if there is no material in Hie containers except that for which they an labelled v it is very unfortunate that no other answer can be Giren to the writer because she has Mpr ased an opinion that is heard very Seldom. If Ahe belief is thai the old a for recycling should be reconsidered possibly in the area where she lives this organization will gladly offer advice and assistance.
