Page 3-The Daily Journal, Flat River, Monday, February 26, 1990 Ortega loses MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) Opposition leader Violeta Barrios de Chamorro defeated President Daniel Ortega in a stunning rebuke to 10 years of leftist Sandinista rule in this war-weary nation, election returns showed today. Sunday's peaceful balloting the freest elections in Nicaraguan history was closely watched by thousands of international observers and, with more than half of the vote in, Mrs. Chamorro was winning nearly 55 percent. Ortega, 44, stopped short of formally conceding, but said in a television appearance: "These numbers and these percentages form a tendency that cannot be ignored." He said the precincts that had not yet reported held 50 percent of the vote, but admitted a Sandinista victory would "break mathematical "I want to tell all Nicaraguans and all the nations of the world, that the president of Nicaragua, and the Potosi- (Continued from page 1) the problems of an older inmate population with those who must have special diets and special medical care, Roper confirmed, but it will get much more serious as time passes and the average age increases significantly. Roper also agreed, however, that as inmates grow older they tend to become less of a control problem.

The article cites the prison's "science of offering and denying privileges to modify inmate behavior." It also notes that "the pleasant accommodations may be the best way to deal with lifetime inmates." The article said that if it government, will respect and accept the popular mandate," Ortega added. The Sandinistas remain by far the largest single party the United Nationalist Opposition Mrs. Chamorro heads is a fractious alliance of 14 parties ranging from far right to far left and it was unclear how power would be transferred. Defense Minister Humberto Ortega, the president's brother, had said that if Mrs. Chamorro won, "she would still have to deal with me," and that the army might disobey orders it considered unsound.

Whether he commands that kind of loyalty remains to be seen. UNO has said it will eliminate the draft and greatly reduce the size of the army, the largest in Central America. Another question is how UNO, whose members' only common interest was getting rid of the Sandinistas, could form a government were not for the barbed wire fence and guard tower, the Potosi facility would look more like a suburban high school than a prison. Roper, who said he feels the article dealt fairly with the prison and was accurate, said the behavior control methods instituted at Potosi have been very successful. The number of fights among inmates has been much lower than experienced at the old maximum security facility in Jefferson City and there had been only one stabbing in the new prison's first year about a half-dozen fights.

The rate of inmate assaults on staff members is also much lower than it was at Missouri State Penitentiary. strong enough to stand Sandinista bureaucracy. Ortega had branded Mrs. Chamorro, the 60-year-old publisher of the opposition newspaper La Prensa, an instrument of U.S. policy and had hoped to capitalize on Nicaraguan pride at standing up to the colossus of the North.

But the voters rejected Ortega's -party rule, which led to economic decline that the Sandinistas blamed on the U.S.-supported Contra insurgency and a U.S. trade embargo. "The Nicaraguan people have shown that they want to live democracy, in peace and in freedom," Mrs. Chamorro told more than 1,000 cheering supporters. If her victory is confirmed, she will take office on April 25.

In Washington, President Bush hailed the upset victory in Nicaragua as "another victory" for democracy in a remarkable year. His spokesman said a lifting of economic Roper said there have been only two major assaults on staff members and about a dozen minor assaults. Another point made in the article cited the Potosi facility as "school for criminal layers." It notes that the number of inmate grievances at most comfortable prison" is the highest of any penal facility in the state. There is a good side to that, Roper said, sort "of a trade out." He said the prison administration would rather have all of the grievances and law suits rather than "physically fight them every day." Let them "do it legally rather than physically" is the approach, he suggested. Police clear up alleged check forging Three people were arrested this weekend as area police officers broke up an alleged check forging ring which had operated in several locations throughout the state, law enforcement officials said this morning.

Warrants charging conspiracy to commit forgery were re served on Monica E. Russ, 20, of Esther, Shane E. Cash, 19, of Desloge, and James E. a Russ, 19, of Esther. Cash is in the county jail in lieu of $10,000 bond while.

the other two have been released on bond.

The warrants allege the forging Mallett- (Continued from page 1) While Judge Murphy ordered the change of venue, it was Circuit Court Judge E.

Judge Webber also had turned down motions on Mallett's behalf that had challenged the trial site selected by Judge Murphy. Missouri Department of Corrections officials said this morning they and cashing of the checks occurred in November of last year. In an unrelated incident, a warrant charging statutory rape was served Sunday on Jimmy Keith, also known as Jimmy Thompson, 17, of Desloge. The warrant alleges that on or about Nov.

1, 1989, the accused "had sexual intercourse with (a person) who was less than 14 years of age." Keith is being held in lieu of $15,000 bond pending a court hearing. Two St. Francois County men were arrested Friday on warrants charging them with burglary and stealing over $150 following a Jan. 7 break-in on School St. in Bonne Terre.

Secretary of State James A.

Baker III said the international community would insist "full civil and military power be transferred to the newly elected government." The Supreme Electoral Council said that with about 60 percent of precincts counted, Mrs. Chamorro had 459,655 votes, or 54.8 percent, to Ortega's 347,778, or 41.5 percent. Eight other parties split what little remained. Ortega's speech was filled with sadness and seemed at times almost like a valediction, tracing the course of the Sandinista party from the time it led the revolution that toppled President Anastasio Somoza in 1979. "Just as we managed to defeat Somocismo, so we also managed to defeat the counterrevolution and to indict before the world those who launched a policy of death against the people of Nicaragua," he said, referring to the United States.

The article was the second time within months that Potosi Correctional Center received wide spread attention of a somewhat positive nature. The October issue of the the MOCAI newsletter featured an article with the headline, "Potosi Prison: Not a Bad Place." The article in the newsletter, published by the Missouri Coalition for Alternatives to Imprisonment, dealt with the findings of two staff members who toured the prison. Often outspoken on corrections problems, the article was a glowing report about a new institution which "has none of the obvious signs that make a prison an awful place to reside."

Fire destroys home A late-evening fire Saturday which destroyed a home on Busiek School Road is believed to have started from an electric blanket, the owner told firefighters at the scene. Dale Lunsford, owner and 0C- cupant of the home, said he had turned on the electric blanket and then folded the covers back and left the room. Apparently the fire started in that area a short time later.

"We were sure electoral process would bring all Nicaraguans that peace and stability we need so much," Ortega said. At times Ortega looked pained and it seemed as if he simply could not bring himself to say flatly that the party had lost.

Flanked by top aides and his common-law wife, who looked pale and shaken, Ortega told Nicaraguans he was proud, in any case, that the Sandinistas had brought a democratic election to Nicaragua. Aristides Sanchez, a Contra leader, called the election result "a triumph of the people. Nicaraguans must now back the new government and attempt to achieve a national reconciliation," he said in a telephone interview from Miami. The United States ended military aid to the Contras in February 1988, but, at Bush's urging, Congress has continued to supply the Contras with non-lethal aid to pressure the Sandinistas into holding free elections. Mrs.

Chamorro was asked as she left her house for campaign headquarters if she thought a transfer of power after years of Sandinista rule would be smooth. "That's the commitment. We want peace and reconciliation." As they battled the Contra rebels, the Sandinistas muzzled dissent for years. Most pre-election polls said Mrs. Chamorro was trailing Ortega, but many Nicaraguans were afraid to reveal their true feelings outside a truly secret ballot box.

Under the Sandinistas, the centrally planned economy was wracked by inflation and mismanagement. Celebrations began breaking out in various neighborhoods of Managua before dawn, with people burning some of the thousands of Sandinista banners draped across city streets. However, the celebrations appeared to die down quickly.

The man had already left the scene when deputies arrived, but was located a few minutes later at another establishment about 1.5 miles away. There Kaucic was taken into custody. While a deputy was processing Kaucic at the county jail, a report states, he found a small plastic bag containing a powdery substance in the suspect's clothing. That substance was to a laboratory for analysis and tested positive as cocaine.

The officers had gone to the residence to serve a search warrant obtained as part of an investigation. Investigation reports indicated the plants, growing in Styrofoam cups, were in a bedroom closet under a fluorescent lamp. In entering his guilty plea, Halter admitted to Judge Pratte that he had cultivated and was growing the plants.

Anton A. Kaucic III of De Soto pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine in a case that was to have gone to trial last Thursday.

A Thought To Remember "The Second Mile!" Matt. 5:41. This one innocent sentence taken from the Sermon on the Mount is sufficient to change the whole world. The secret is in giving more than is actually required; doing than is expected. It is appealing to the best in human nature, rather than the worst.

First, going the second mile leaves a deposit of happiness in the heart of the one who travels it. We know we have measured up to and even beyond that which was demanded of us. It makes us feel good about ourselves and it is so important to like ourselves. Second, it brings out the best in others. when we see other people being loving, kind and good, it makes us want to be better.

Thus, we set in motion a chain reaction good people make us want to be better. Third, going the second mile makes the burdens of life lighter. Doing more than our part makes the home and family a better and happier place to live. Going the second mile, or going beyond the call of duty, makes for a better way of life In other words, when you have to go one mile, just throw in another for good measure. You will be the WINNER!
