The Sentinel from Carlisle, Pennsylvania • 2

Tuesday, August 2,1994, The Sentinel, Carlisle, Pa Specter hears about health care concerns rare. She said she had a terrible those urging Specter to support universal coverage and the so-called employer mandate, which would force employers to insure employees. In Harrisburg, two activists dressed as paramedics carried a stretcher, while another carried a sign that red "People Vs. Profits. We're dying for universal coverage." "We're here to dramatize the fact that people are suffering and dying because they can't afford adequate health care," said activist Dana Stuchell.

Christina Dunigan, 32, of Harrisburg, told Specter she feared the government would take over health ty Leader George Mitchell was to unveil his health care plan. Mitchell's proposal is expected to be a scaled-down version of President Clinton's legislation to guarantee health insurance for all Americans and force employers to bear much of the burden for coverage. While U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford, is expected to side with Mitchell, Specter could emerge as a pivotal player as the Democratic leader appeals for Republican support.

Specter, a political moderate, occasionally lines up with Democrats on labor and social issues. Specter supports Clinton's goal of universal health coverage but called the president's plan "a tremendous bureaucracy" that would eliminate choice and threaten quality. Nonetheless, he appeared willing to negotiate. "I believe we have to try different systems and see how they work. I call it xtrial and Specter told 300 people watching nun on television from a Community College of Philadelphia auditorium.

The crowds in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh were smaller, about 150 each. Specter said he had intended to come in person but remained in Washington for a floor vote on education. Union members, health care workers and senior citizens were among near and dear to their families as we are to our families. "Give us universal coverage, warts and all," Gold pleaded as the crowd applauded. Specter, a potentially important swing vote on health reform, opened the floor to Pennsylvanians in Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh on Monday to hear their concerns about new ways to pay for health care.

Many constituents said they were concerned that health reform would increase medical costs while degrading care. Specter, a three-term Republican, took questions from satellite audiences the day before Senate Majori PHILADELPHIA (AP) While some Pennsylvanians predict dire results from health reform, Ellis i Gold just wants everyone to have an equal chance for coverage. "I believe in democracy. I love my country. I don't think we should be divided between the haves and the have-nots," Gold, an 83-year-old i retired Philadelphia accountant, said at a public forum on health care.

Gold Monday told U.S. Sen. Arlen i Specter that his belief in health insurance for everyone outweighs his personal interests, "I have excellent health insurance and I'm very happy with it," Gold said. "But I have empathy for those millions without coverage who are experience when her son was born in an Army hospital, where she received care free of charge. "Keep on keeping on with keeping the government out of our hospital beds," Dunigan told Specter.

"They have no business being there." Specter took some criticism as well. The Philadelphia audience began shouting "Wrong" and "Get real, senator" after he strongly rejected a union member's request for the so-called single payer plan, which would allow Americans to pay into one insurance program run by the government Tornado victims laid to rest companion, Mary arm Milisits, read him a newspaper article about the Thompsons' deaths that he realized what he had discovered, he said. "Of all the thousands of acres this bond could have fell onto, and it happened to fall in our yard It's the kind of thing that really knocks the pins out from under you," Lilly said. On Monday night, the bond was on its way to Limerick Township's police department, where officers will return it to the surviving Thompson family members. Earlier in the day, the Thompsons were laid to rest in Lower Merion Township after a funeral service in Haddon Township, N.J., where the couple was married in October 1992.

A National Weather Service spokeswoman theorized that the tornado winds sucked the bond upward through the center of the funnel and into an upper atmospheric wind, bringing it the 50 miles to Moore Township. The bond was dry, un wrinkled and neatly folded in half when Lilly found it, he said. "I couldn't believe it," Lilly said.

"It must've been up there and just floated and finally came to earth." Lilly turned the bond over to Moore Township police, thinking it had been stolen during a burglary or robbery. It wasn't until later when Lilly's ALLENTOWN (AP) Two days after a tornado killed a family of three as it tore through a suburban Philadelphia housing development, a man nearly 50 miles away found a haunting reminder of the storm's toll Jim Lilly was mowing the lawn at his Moore Township, Northampton County, home Friday when he found a crisp $50 savings bond in a wooded area in his back yard.

"The behavioral disturbance either can be immediate or can be delayed," Appelbaum said. She said problems could include "clinginess, or a refusal to leave a parent."

Paula Humphries, a school psychologist and chief of psychology at ARDMORE (AP) The main concern now at a suburban Philadelphia day-care center is the peace of mind of 17 children who saw their teacher shot dead last week. The center opened Monday four days after a popular teacher was gunned down in front of her preschool students after a weekend of support and counseling for children, parents and staff.

To ease the adjustment for Morse's group, children were moved to a different classroom that had been furnished during the weekend with many materials and decorations from their former room.

Larsen to use his ruling in fight ill a glance Bogus agent shot dead PHILADELPHIA Joseph Stew-' ard survived a deadly gun wrestling ordeal that erupted after he let three men posing as FBI agents into his home. One of the three bogus agents was shot dead after Steward wrested a gun away from his assailants and I began firing, police said. Police said the men gained mostly by a Senate committee, which will then report to the full Senate. If the Senate convicts him on any charge, Larsen will be barred from ever holding public office again.

Costopoulos and Larsen will argue that delegating the duty to hold an impeachment trial before a seven-member Senate panel rather than the entire 50-member body is a violation of Larsen's basic rights and the state constitution. Under a unanimous Supreme Court decision written by Larsen in 1989, the court ruled against a committee of House and Senate members that had voted to prolong the existence of the state Ethics Commission. Under that decision, the Supreme Court ruled the Legislature "cannot constitutionally delegate the power to make law to any other branch of government or to any other body or authority." Costopoulos said he will use that argument to buttress his claim that the Senate committee does not have the jurisdiction to conduct the impeachment trial. "The hope is that Commonwealth Court follows the letter and the spirit and the intent of this ruling," Costopoulos said. "The Senate cannot delegate its constitutional function to a committee." Sen.

Stewart Greenleaf, the Montgomery County Republican who heads the impeachment committee, has said the state Senate is following procedures used by the U.S. Senate in impeachment trials of federal judges. HARRISBURG (AP) In an attempt to persuade an appeals court to halt his impeachment trial, Rolf Larsen will use an opinion he wrote while serving on the state Supreme Court. William Costopoulos, Larsen's attorney, said he will present the opinion during arguments scheduled today before Commonwealth Court. Costopoulos is seeking a preliminary injunction to halt an impending Senate trial until the court can consider Larsen's request to stop the proceeding altogether.

Larsen who served as a justice for 17 years before being ordered off the bench by a Common Pleas judge is helping his lawyers prepare the case, directing them to a court decision he thinks is crucial to his argument. "It's not as though I am representing a layman," said Costopoulos. Justice Rolf Larsen knows the law of this Commonwealth." In May, Larsen became the first Supreme Court justice in Pennsylvania history to be impeached. The state House adopted seven charges of misbehavior in office, including accusations he gave preferential treatment to friends. Larsen has denied wrongdoing.

The trial, scheduled to begin next week unless Commonwealth Court orders otherwise, will be conducted Somerset man enters plea SOMERSET A man admitted to involuntary manslaughter as part of a plea bargain in the accidental deaths of three people. Scott Berkebile, 28, of Acosta, Somerset County, pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and a traffic count. In exchange, authorities dropped one charge of involuntary manslaughter, three counts of homicide by vehicle while drunk, one count of drunken driving and other traffic counts. The car Berkebile was driving smashed into a car driven by Penne Coddington on State Route 30 on May 12, 1991. Killed were Coddington, Theodore Taylor and his wife, Lori.

Tests showed that Berkebile's blood-alcohol level was 0.18 percent, which is above the state's legal limit of 0.10 percent. A Somerset County coroner's jury ruled both drivers were at fault because each car was partly across the center line at the time of the wreck. Associated Press entrance to Steward's home Sunday after telling him they were FBI agents investigating a murder. "Once they were inside, the victim starts getting suspicious and demands to see some identification," said Homicide Sgt. Thomas Burke.

"That's when the suspects pulled out their guns." The men allegedly demanded cash and jewelry and began to pistol whip Steward, 27, as he lay on the floor next to his girlfriend. When the gunman let up, Steward jumped up and grabbed him in a bear hug, police said. The assailant then flipped his MAC-10 machine pistol to one of his accomplices, identified by police as Bahaadur Safees, 43. Police said Steward then struggled with Safees over the gun, knocking him to the ground. As the other men and Safees charged Steward, he began to fire, striking Safees in the head and chest, police said.

The other two men fled. Safees was pronounced dead at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Within minutes, police arrested one of the alleged assailants, Warren Williams, 21. He was carrying a briefcase containing gold jewelry taken from Steward's girlfriend, police said. The third suspect remained at large Monday night.
