Police, church seek missing man By LOIS O'ROURKE The Daily Journal Ukiah police are investigating the mystcrious disappearance of a 63-year-old man last seen at church Aug. 7. George Smart was reported missing to police Sept.

4 by members of his church. He is a diabetic with a heart condition that requires medication. Detective Mariano Guzman said he does not suspect foul play, but he wants to know what happened to Smart. Delynne Rogers, a member of the United Methodist Church Smart attended in Ukiah, said his disappearance is unusual because his cat, a Siamese named Charlie, was found starving inside his Ukiah mobile home. Rogers said Charlie was Smart's prized possession and that he wouldn't leave the cat without providing food for it.

The only reason Charlie was able to survive was because a water faucet was drip- ly," ping and the cat was able to drink water, she said. Another member of the Methodist Church, Dexter Keehn, said Smart is retired from the Burcau of Land Management. He called him a steady, level-headed person who loves church. "His church is his family," said Keehn, who added Smart remained in contact with one member, Maggie McNeil. "She was busy with a new job and her daughter was getting married.

She hadn't had contact with him in awhile and finally realized he was missing in early September," Keehn said. He also agreed with Rogers that Smart would never leave his cat. "He's a member of this community, and he's vanished," Keehn said, adding that Smart would never take a vacation on a whim. Police said his car, a 1977 Volkswagen van, is also missing. It is described as having a white top with medium blue sides.

Its California license number is 3DJS825. Smart is described as white, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with hazel eyes and brown hair.

Jeanty said U.S. soldiers will not distinguish between soldiers and civilians when they attack. The United States has intensified its psychological warfare in recent weeks.

Washington has warned the military to get out and moved several warships ominously close to Haiti's shores. The White House said Tuesday that military action could come "very soon." "The intervention has already taken place. They just haven't begun to shoot at people yet," Evans Paul, the capital's elected mayor in hiding, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. National sovereignty, which the ruling army claims to be defending in its standoff with the United States, has been reduced to nothing since the coup three years ago because the international community has largely controlled Haiti, Paul said. "Our city is besieged, and the besieger has allowed our leaders no way out," said Carl Denis, a senior aide to the military-installed goverminent.

"We have no option but resistance." The country is completely isolated. Trade embargoes aimed at pressuring the army to leave have brought the already moribund economy to its knees.

Johnson, who described the Sunday morning attack in the resort town of Edwards, said it may have been a murder-for-hire.

"We have to look at the attack on Rita Quam from every angle," he said. KUSA-TV reported that Ms. Quam, 53, had recently gone through a bitter divorce, during which Smith had worked as a private investigator for her husband Howard, An autopsy showed Smith, 56, died of heart failure. The deputy who apprehended him, Sgt. Jeff Beavers, said the heart attack may have been triggered by fright and the thin air 7,500 feet up in the Rockies.

Johnson said the altitude has triggered other heart attacks in people not used to the thin Ms. Quam was in fair condition Tuesday after undergoing surgery Sunday at the Vail Valley Medical Center, where she was under police guard. would take all the county's garbage until it closes. In the years the landfills are open, the jurisdictions would be able to set aside money from landfill tipping fees to go toward closure costs. When the Willits landfill closes, the Ukiah landfill, which has lower fees than Willits' landfill, would charge a surcharge to former Willits landfill users and put the money aside for closure costs for both sites.

That would take care of a large portion of closure costs, Shoemaker said. "With the alternative plan, we'd work and earn it," rather than pay interest to a private company, he said. When it comes to actually building the facility, there are several options, including public financing. The Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved writing a letter of support for Shoemaker's proposal. The waste authority is supposed to have final say, but the cities have previously threatened to defect from the authority over the issue.

A key in the decision is getting enough garbage to the transfer station to make it pay for itself and the closure costs. Willits on its own does not have enough garbage. It needs either the county's entire waste stream or imported garbage from other counties for the project to be worthwhile. All the local news, weather sports in the Journal Continued from Page 1 assistance, but the administration concluded disaster aid was justified because of the continuing adverse effect of El Nino, a condition that causes warm water currents and hurts the fish catch, The declaration was expected but overdue in the view of area lawmakers. The Clinton administration in early August declared a similar disaster for 13 counties in Oregon and Washington.

Gov. Pete Wilson petitioned the Federal Emergency Management Agency to declare the California counties a disaster on May 25. But administration officials said the lack of proper information about the fishing industry from California officials caused them to delay. "The elected officials (of the affected counties) have been diligent in working with my office and the state to secure federal aid for our struggling North Coast fishing communities," Rep. Dan Hamburg, D-Ukiah, said in a statement.

"Working together, we have been able to provide immediate, shortterm relicf." Besides the unemployment assistance, Wilson also requested that FEMA approve mortgage and rental assistance for affected workers. The agency denied the request, however, according to Hamburg. Federal Emergency Management Agency Director James Lee Witt said the aid will supplement economic relief programs already being provided by other federal departments and agencies. The administration announced in May that it will provide $15.7 million for struggling fishing communities in Washington, Oregon and Northern California. The proposed aid includes $6 million for a habitat restoration employment program, $4 million to buy back salmon fishing permits, and $2 million for a data collection jobs program, The National Marine Fisheries Service predicted that the 1994 ocean salmon catch will amount to less than 290,000 chinook salmon, and no coho whatsoever.

The commercial salmon fishery off Washington and northern Oregon was closed this year, and remaining salmon fisherics off central and southern Oregon and Northern California are at record low levels, according to the Commerce Department. limited to $50 a month. More affluent Haitians with U.S. bank accounts can't get at their money, which was frozen in May. All commercial airline flights have been suspended.

In the northern port of CapHaitien last month, a warship drew a crowd of anti-invasion protesters to the pier. Warships were sighted Saturday along the coast north of Port-au-Prince. On Sunday, a warship and two patrol boats moved within two miles of shore, U.S. flags waving as several helicopters zipped around. An unidentified airplane flew over Port-au-Prince on Monday night.

"This was a very strong sign to the civilian and the military authorities of our determination to see this resolved as quickly as possible," U.S. Embassy spokesman Stanley Schrager said Tuesday. The strong probability (of an invasion) increases with each day the military remains in power." At this point, even if the military high command wanted to leave, they would have no way out and nowhere to go, said Denis, the government aide. U.S. warships are patrolling offshore and Pentagon officials are sending in two aircraft carriers to join them.

Along the 240-mile land border with the Dominican Republic, 2,000 Dominican soldiers are enforcing the U.N. trade sanctions. Argentina, Canada and the United States have sent the first 50 observers for a multinational group that eventually will include 88 monitors and 50 U.S. soldiers. because it would also get a $2-per-ton fee for allowing the facility to operate in the city.

But not everyone was so sure. Ukiah would have lost money if garbage flows it now gets went to Willits. And county supervisors worried about giving a monopoly, and future control of its landfills, to a company that many in the county fear because of its history of environmental and business violations. So Empire Waste Management sweetened the deal by offering to also pay the costs of closing the Ukiah landfill and monitoring it afterward, at an estimated cost of $4.1 million. While the deals look attractive, they'll end up costing county ratepayers a lot more money, according to both de Vall and Shoemaker.

Both noted that the of dollars in closure costs are going to be paid for by the fees people pay to have their garbage handled. And a private company is going to want to recoup the initial investment plus interest, de Vall said. He said that, assuming a simple 7 percent interest rate over the 30 years of the contract, it would add around $15 million to the initial $8 million payoff. "By the time ratepayers pay for this, they will pay three or more times the he said. Shoemaker agrees and has offered up an alternative plan.

Under his plan, the cities will keep their landfills open until they're full around three years for Willits and six for Ukiah.
