Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Tuesday, April 16, 1996 Talks Obituaries Clyde Kamerzel Clyde "Fritz" Kamerzel, 78, of R.R. 1, Sugarloaf, died Monday morning at his home after a 10-month illness. Born in Nuremberg on May 7, 1917, he was the son of the late William and Tura (Bond) Kamerzel, and was a valley resident his entire life. Kamerzel was a member of Christ United Church of Christ, Conyngham. He retired from Farmers' Dairy in 1982 where he was employed as a milk processor.

He also was employed at Pecora's Diary as a milk processor. Surviving are brothers, Charles, Sugarloaf; Donald, Morrisville, and Lester, Emmaus, and sisters, Mrs. Thomas (Dorothy) O'Neill, Avenel, N.J.; Mrs. Edward (Ruth) Geisick, West Hazleton; Mrs. Russell (Mary) Sugarloaf; and Mrs.

John, 768 E. Broad Hazleton, or the memorial fund of Christ U.C.C., Conyngham, would be appreciated by the family. could include proposals for drawing troops back from both sides of the Demilitarized Zone, the 2.5-mile-wide border that separates the two Koreas. Clinton also "reaffirmed the steadfast U.S. commitment to security in the Republic of Korea" and his commitment to the agreement pledging U.S.

defense of South Korea should it be attacked by the North, the statement said. Tensions have been on the increase following penetrations of the DMZ by North Korea troops earlier this month, in violation of the 43-year-old armistice. The unexpected initiative has been in the works quietly for about two months after being raised by South Korea, the officials said. Until now, the United States has insisted that North and South Korea negotiate directly with each other on a permanent peace accord. North Korea has tried to force the United States into direct negotiations, which would put South Korea into a secondary role.

Clinton's initiative is a new diplomatic formula for a peace process. A decade ago, South Korea proposed a six-way peace negotiation involving the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, China and the two Koreas. The Reagan administration rejected the notion, holding out for North-South dialogue. Some U.S. officials believe North Korea staged its military incursions into the DMZ after learning about the initiative.

That way, North Korea could claim the United States was reacting to its move, in a form of concession. Clinton has tried to make peacemaking a hallmark of his presidency based on efforts in the Middle East, Haiti, Bosnia and Northern Ireland. Any movement in the long Korean stalemate would be an election-year plus for the president. After a 20-hour flight from Washington, Clinton arrived here before dawn. Accompanied by Jiis wife, Hillary, the president Jas greeted by Kim and his wife at a seaside hotel.

Shortly after their arrival, the president and his wife changed into running suits and strolled along the beach of the East China Sea as the rising sun burned away an early-morning mist. About 37,000 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea. During a refueling stop in Alaska en route from Washington, Clinton told reporters he was optimistic about maintaining peace on the Korean Peninsula devastated in the 1950-53 war, in which the United States and its U.N. allies backed the South against the North and its Chinese and Soviet defenders.

Rock over opera MILAN, Italy (AP) The other woman in Luciano Pavarotti's life says she prefers rock to opera. "At the beginning we had a lot of problems because I was bored to death by listening to opera," 26-year-old Nicoletta Mantovani told the newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview published Monday.

Ms. Mantovani, Pavarotti's secretary, also said she feels much better since her relationship with the tenor has come out in the open. "The last year was hell because I don't like to tell lies," she said. "Since the truth has been revealed, I'm happy." Last month, Pavarotti and his manager-wife, Adua, agreed to a separation after 35 years of marriage. They have three daughters.

The purpose would be to initiate a process aimed at achieving a permanent peace settlement." U.S. officials said the idea for four-way talks was advanced first by South Korea, about two months ago. White House spokesman Mike McCurry would not say whether China or North Korea agreed to such a process but made it clear they had not rejected it. "There seems to be understanding" on China's part for the U.S. desire to establish a more permanent peace, he said.

McCurry said China's participation "would be extremely helpful" to forging a permanent peace. Clinton and Kim's statement said the "peace process also should address a wide range of tension-reduction measures." Officials said that Bail (Continued from page 1) the hearing. He also said the diagnosis of du Pont was not complete. Du Pont's doctors and prison officials disagreed on the state of his physical health. Doctors for the defendant estimated he has lost 12 pounds in prison, while a prison health official said he has gained about 10 pounds.

Dr. Robert L. Sadoff, testifying for du Pont, said "he has shown some conduct to be a danger to himself," primarily neglect. "He's not eating and he's not drinking properly and he's deteriorating physically, and I'm concerned about his health," Sadoff testified. Dr.

Joseph DiGiacomo, a cardiologist and a psychiatrist, said he talked to du Pont and "he talked about his athletic heart beginning to deteriorate without exercise. He also talked about his heart giving out, so he thought he wouldn't make it to the trial." DiGiacomo said he listened to du Pont's heart and heard extra beats, but he could not say whether they were caused by his imprisonment. "My concern is that he has a mental system where he is concerned about the food. That's why he is taking less intake. We can't get around that," DiGiacomo said.

The prosecution also raised the issue of du Pont posing a danger to others. John J. McKenna, chief of criminal investigation in the District Attorney's Office, said a police officer searching his house found a note on a nightstand in du Pont's bedroom that read: "Tell Taras Wochok that his family is going to be killed first and he will go last." Wochok is one of du Pont's lawyers. He took the stand later and testified that du Pont had written down the message about 12 years ago, when Wochok was representing du Pont in litigation against some employees. Wochok's wife had called du Pont to report a threat against him, and du Pont wrote down the message as she reported it, the lawyer said.

He also noted that an official of the District Attorney's Office had said earlier that the note was found in a library, not on du Pont's nightstand. Found (Continued from page 1) corporate executives or list the addresses. A bottle of Trazadone, a prescription anti-depressant drug, was found. The list also described a hooded jacket, a blue zippered sweatshirt and hood and two pairs of plastic glasses. A witness who saw the Unabomber plant one bomb described him as wearing a hooded sweatshirt and aviator glasses, resulting in the widely circulated composite sketch.

The references to San Francisco and to corporate executives were cryptic. The item was listed as: "One 'Aldrich' box containing misc. papers, newspaper clippings, bus schedule, addresses of corporate officials and maps of San Francisco." However, the references may be significant because the Unabomber, who raged against modern technology, targeted executives. Three of the bombings occurred in the San Francisco Bay area and two in Sacramento. Five of the bombs were mailed from Northern California, including two from Oakland and one from San Francisco.

The FBI list was ordered released by U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell, who authorized the original search. Clarence Eickhoff Clarence Eickhoff, 76, of 430 E.

Wife, Son and Family Pilot (Continued from page 1) Jessica was attempting to become the youngest pilot to cross the continent when her small plane crashed in Wyoming on Thursday.

Her father and flight instructor also were killed. Criticism of the flight has been mounting since the crash, with many people saying children shouldn't be allowed to fly. Others have wondered whether the dream of flying across the country was Jessica's or her parents'. A funeral Mass was said Monday morning for the flight instructor, Joe Reid, and more than 500 people attended a vigil for him Sunday evening. Lloyd Dubroffs funeral was planned for today.

Jessica took off on Wednesday from Half Moon Bay, and was headed to Falmouth, Mass. Her singlengine plane went down in Cheyenne shortly after she took off from that stopover in an icy rainstorm. Investigators have said the plane was overloaded. The attempt at the record apparently had already failed on the first leg, when Reid took the controls several times, according to Jessica's mother. She said on Sunday that Reid had flown the plane once while Jessica took a nap.

He also landed the plane in Cheyenne, and government investigators said his injuries suggest he was flying when the plane crashed. "Jessica would have done the entire 7,000 miles even if she knew she wouldn't break the world record," Hathaway said. "She thoroughly enjoyed flying." In Cheyenne, hundreds of people carrying teddy bears, balloons and flowers remembered Jessica at a memorial service on Sunday. While the child's death was a tragedy, "an even greater tragedy would be never to dream at all," the Rev. David Rockwood told mourners.

"Even though her dream ended in tragedy, it touched our hearts, our souls." Some who attended the memorial in Cheyenne defended the girl's quest. In Loving Memory of JOHN CONTRADY June 8, 1899 April 15, 1990 Not a single day passes That I fail to speak your name, And though I am unworthy, Dad I ask of you the same. I feel you nearby, watching Everything I do, And you know I've kept the promise That you made me make to you. Please give me strength To face what lies ahead, And should I start to falter Give me peace of mind instead. When the day draws to a close My thoughts go out to you, You are such a vital part Of everything I do.

Joseph Suit (Continued from page 1) which restrains costs by emphasizing preventative medicine, closely scrutinizing treatment and cutting out medical care considered unnecessary. Managed care forces doctors, hospitals and drug companies to accept lower payments in exchange for a steady supply of patients. In addition to traditional malpractice violations, the lawsuit charges that Geisinger violated federal anti-racketeering laws by withholding infor-i mation about financial incen-; tives given to doctors for keeping medical costs down. Doctors in the Geisinger managed care program receive bonuses every year if they keep costs under a certain amount. "That practice enriches those like Geisinger and Dr.

McKenna, but cost Jim Cerep his life," Lenahan said. Although Mrs. Cerep does have a legitimate traditional malpractice suit, the racketeering charges may not hold up in court, said Stephen Foreman, an attorney and a professor of health administration at Penn State University. "The facts in this case are pretty egregious. I don't think it is a close call, but I think traditional law can handle it," Foreman said.

"I would throw out the racketeering if I was the judge." However, with for-profit HMOs sprouting up overnight, some managed care programs may be violating racketeering laws by defrauding their patients, Foreman said. The quick growth of HMOs has created new legal and ethical problems for the medical community, said Dr. Stanley P. Mayers, a physician and a professor of health policy and administration at Penn State. Many similar lawsuits will be filed in the next few years, he said.

"In our previous system of fee for service, the problem was that the incentives were to do as much as possible," Mayers said. "Now we've suddenly switched almost overnight. The system now has incentives to provide as little care as possible." Adam Bloschock Adam Bloschock, 85, of R.R. 3, Bloomsburg, died Sunday evening at the Hospice Unit of Mercy Hospital in Scranton, following a lengthy illness. Born in Beaver Valley, April 26, 1910, he was the son of the late Michael and Mary (Straka) Bloschock, and spent his entire life in the R.R.

3 Bloomsburg area. Bloshock was a Vj member of the Beaver jgS Township Fire Co. 5 He was a retired construction worker. Bloschock was an Army veteran of World War II, where he served in the Battle of the Bulge and in Scotland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and France. Preceding him in death, in addition to his parents, were brothers, Michael, John, Steve, Joseph, Andrew, Peter and George, and sisters, Mary and Helen Bloschock, Annie Tomko, and Elizabeth Kowalski.

Surviving are his companion of 65 years, Dora Kowalski, and nieces and nephews. Funeral service will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. from the Mark S. Harman Funeral Home, (West), Conyngham-Rock Glen Road. The Rev.
