The Monitor from McAllen, Texas • 4

4A Monday, December 4, 1989 THE MONITOR, McAllen, Texas Worker comp lobbying intensifies cent over the last five years and are scheduled to go up another all year and is currently in a second special legislative session to deal with the workers' comp system, which has been criticized for high premiums and low benefits. The major differences in the House and Senate measures deal with calculating benefita for injured workers and resolving disputed workers' comp claims. Businesses claim huge jury awards and fraudulent claims have driven up the cost of employer-paid premiums, which have increased nearly 150 per 22 percent by Jan. 1. The House bill would limit an employees' access to a jury trial and establish a specific schedule for permanent injury benefits.

But trial lawyers and labor organizations blame greedy insurance companies and employers who subject their workers to unsafe conditions. The Senate bill would maintain the right to a jury trial and binding arbitration as an option in settling disputes. mam 10 PHI Triple murders probed HOUSTON (AP) Police today planned to visit Kash-mere High School with hopes of learning more about twin teen-age students who were brutally stabbed to death along with their mother. The bodies of Bonita Edwards, 38, and her 16-year-old daughter, Annette, were found near the door of their northeast Houston apartment after a maintenance man opened the locked door Saturday. The body of Bernette Edwards, also 16, was found in a back bedroom.

She had been gagged and sexually assaulted, authorities said. Both girls had their throats slashed in addition to several stab wounds. Ms. Edwards had been stabbed repeatedly in the chest near her heart, officers said. The two in the front were killed very rapidly," said homicide Lt.

Greg Neely. "It was the poor girl in the back that suffered the most." Neely said authorities believe all three were slain late Wednesday night a day after the twins celebrated their 16th birthday. Neighbors told police they heard nothing unusual on the evening of the attack. That's what's so strange," said an upstairs neighbor who asked not to be identi fied. "We didn't hear nothing." Autopsies are scheduled today by the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office, Neely said.

Police said the apartment showed no signs of forced entry and all of the windows were protected by burglar bars, leading authorities to believe the women knew their assailant. Fingerprints taken from the blood-spat tered apartment were being analyzed. Ms. Edwards remained unmarried after her husband's murder in 1973, the year the girls were born, Neely said. She was unemployed and supported the family with Social Security checks.

The bodies were found after Ms. Edwards' boyfriend grew concerned about not being able to reach the family. HOME DECORATING? Large Assortment of Frames Picture Framing Prints Posters Diplomas Class Photos Framed Framed S. Klein Galleries 521 N. Main McAllen 688-0632 Open 9-6, Sat.

9-5 Dermatology TODAY by Keith A. Picou, M.D. Dermatologist GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN The person who begins to have second thoughts about a tattoo should consider hawing it removed with a laser. Specifically, the Nd YAG laser offers the best hope of removal because it is more selectively absorbed by dark pigments than other lasers, also causes less damage to normal skin. The removal procedure can be performed on an out-patient basis using local anesthesia.

The laser beam is applied to the tattoo in short bursts. With the application of light energy, the superficial layers of skin lying over the tattoo begin to separate from the deepest skin layers that contain the pigment As the tattoo pigment separates from the tissue, it is removed over a period of about five days. After scabbing, the skin begins to assume a more normal appearance. Although tattoos may present a certain allure at a given moment the in terms of health may not be so attractive. Give this procedure a great deal of thought I treat all diseases of the skin, including rashes, acne, and skin cancer Please call my office for more information at 687-78.
