'High School Dropouts from Outer Space'

Garbage ordin,ance close to passage
BY J. MILES

LAYTON

Staff writer
SYRACUSE - Syracuse
Village Council discu ssed a
proposed garbage ordinance
at Monday's meeting.
. The ordinance, to regulate
trash .:.'ollection in the village, passed 5-1 for the second of three votes needed
for approval. If the ordi nance passes after one more
vote , it will be effective .
The proposed ordinance
syste mati cally
mandate s
how tra sh collection is to
take place, which would
almost require a trash
removal contractor.

Residents who do not
have a permit from the village will not be '!llowed to
collect, remove or transport
trash within the village.
People will no longer be
allowed tQ haul garbage
away using flatbed open
trucks because a specific
type of truck will be
required for trash removal.
The ordinance also sets a
standard for how trash
removal contractors would
submit proposals to contract
with the vi llage. Official
times and date s for trash
collection will be established.
The ordinance establishes

a penalty for anyone who
violates th e Jaw. According
to clerk-treasurer . Sherry
Cottrill, versions of this
ordinance have been di scussed in the past with varying degrees of success.
Council members who
voted for the ordinance were
Eber Picken s Jr., Donna
Peterson, Mike Van Meter,
Mike Deem and Mony
Wood , council president.
Counci·J
member
Eric
Cunningham voted against
the ord inance.
''I'm in favor of it because
I don' t Jiike pickups or flat
bed trucks picking up
garbage," he said.

" I .don't like the waste
dripping all over the roads,"
Pickens said.
Pickens said tra sh removal
would be early in the day
between 6 a.m. and noon.
He said this would be better
because lhe trash trucks
would be "out of town when
kids start going to· the pool
or during ball season."
Cunningham opposes the
garbage ordinance because
he doesn"t think the village
needs to be te lling people
how to pick up their trash.
He said it shou ld be the citizens' decision to determine
how they pick up and haul
away their trash.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Despite the brutal and gruesome nature of his crime, a
man convicted of kidnapping
and killing a fonner fraternity
brother's wife in 1985 should
be spared the death penalty,
his attorneys say.
Lawyers for David M.
Brewer, 43, argue that mercy
is appropriate because Brewer
led an upstanding life before
and after the crime. They are
asking Gov. Bob Taft to cancel Brewer's April 29 execution and change his sentence
to life in prison.
The Ohio Parole Board
neld a hearing Monday and
was expected to make a recommendation to Taft later this
week. The governor has not
granted clemency in the six
previous death penalty cases
since 1999 and never has
gone against the board's recommendations in such cases.
Brewer was convicted · of
killing Sherry Byrne, a 2 Iyear-old cosmetics sales-woman from southwest Ohio,
who was beaten, choked with
a necktie and stabbed multiple ..
times with a butcher knife.
''The paradox of a diligent,
kind, conscientious man who
committed an uncharacteristic
act of violence is the central
issue," Joseph Wi !helm and
Richard Vickers, public
defenders, wrote in Brewer's
clemency application. ..
They say Brewer was ·a.
law-abiding and hardworking
man who was well-liked,
well-known and respected
before killing Byrne, and has
been remorseful and a model
inmate since her murder.
Brewer lived in Centerville
and managed a rental appliance store.
1 However, in noting that
many court.~ have upheld
Brewer's death, sentence,
Greene County Prosecutor
William Schenck said the
crime was "so brutal and
gruesome that reasonable
minds could not conclude that
the death penalty wa~ inappropriate even despite
Brewer's lack of prior record
and letters of suppon.''

NATIONAL VIEW

Under siege
Open access to government ·
Jades in Sunshine State
• Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, on open government: Together
with beaches. oranges and the Everglades, open government
belongs on a list of things to treasure about Florida.
For decades. Florida has been a national leader i11, ensuring
citizens access to their government.
. But in the; ensuing 10 years, lawmakers made more than 100
~xceptions. So last fall. voters weighed in again. By a 3-to-1
margin. they passed an' amendment to require that exceptions
lie approved by two-thirds of the members in both houses of
the Legislature. rather than majorities.
. · Yet many lawmakers still aren't listening. Government in
the sunshine remains under siege in the Sunshine State.
. With this year's legi slative session less than two weeks old,
lawmakers already have introduced at least 37 bills that could
limit public access to government information.
Most insidious are more than a dozen "shell bills" that
would allow exceptions to the constitution ~t including
·any details. Such bills are stealth weapons targeting the public 's right to know.
. ;Open government, by contrast, instills confidence among
citizens. It invites them to participate. It leads to better deci~ions, as ideas are questioned, then refined.
.
.Open government also promotes better use of tax dollars . It
holds government accountable.
: Yet Florida's legacy of open government won't be safe
unless citizens demand that lawmakers honor it.

War in Iraq going better than in D. C.
There 's an Iraq war going
on and a Washington war.
Both have been hot and ugly.
But what counts is the Iraq
war, and if that goes well for
U.S. forces - as seems to be
happening - the one here at
home will quiet.
Of course, it's too early to
tell for sure how either will
end. The deci sive battle for
Baghdad has just begun. But
there's every reason · to
believe that days of pounding
from the air have greatly
reduced the capacity of
Saddam
Hussein 's
Republican Guard divisions
to defend the city.
There's a danger that, facing defeat, the Republican
Guard mi~ht emplo~ chemical weapons. That would
affirm the Bush administration's charge that Hussein
possesses banned weapons of
mass destruction, but at a possible high cost to U.S. troops.
Beyond that comes potentially
grisly urban warfare in Baghdad.
Iraqi officials hope to lure
American forces into a protracted bloody guerrilla conflict that
will inflame the Washington war
and tap American resolve.
The Iraqis can only be
encouraged in this belief by
the eruption of nay-saying
and second-guessing that followed the failure of coalition
forces to win the Iraq war in
a week or less.
Retired generals on television,
military correspondents, and
columnists for various newspapers and magazines, some quotmg subordinate officials in the
Pentagon and commanders in
the field, mercilessly attacked
the basic U.S. war plan.

The blindness of anti-war marchers
The United Nations, presumably concerned with
human rights around the
world, should have told its
weapons inspectors to search ·
Saddam Hussein's prisons
and torture chambers. There,
inspectors would have found,
as Amnesty International
reports, results of personal
destruction, such as:
"Electric shocks or cigarette bums to various parts of
_ the body, pulling out of fingernails, rape, long periods
of suspension by the limbs,
beating with cables, falaqa
(beating on the soles of the
feet) . and piercing of. hands
with an electric drill."
In anti-war ·marches and
demonstrations, I have seen

signs, but nothing about the
horrors that Hussein has
inflicted on his people for 23
murderous years.
On Jan. 26,' John Burns, a

Giants show off power against Padres
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The
San Francisco Giants haven't had to
show much of the speed that manager Felipe Alou raved about ~II spring
- they keep on winning with their
power.
Rich Aurilia and Jose Cruz Jr. each
homered twice and EdgardoAlfonzo
hit his first home run for San
Francisco, leading the unbeaten
Giants over the San Diego Padres 74 Monday in their home opener.
"We're · taking it as it comes,"
--~-ALtnna-s.ato. "We-didn't-expect to-hit
aJI these home runs."
At 7-0, the Giants are off to their
best start since 1930, when the franchise played in New York and began
7-0.
"These guys are serious about this
season," said manager Feli~ Alou,
who won his debut in Pactfic Bell
Park. "The feeling is that we k.now
we have a shot. What attracted me to
this job besides the offer - the offer
brought me here - was this franchise."
Alou was joined by younger brothers Jesus and Matty to throw out the
ceremonial first pitch. An old picture
of the three former Giants in uniform
with their hands together showed on
the center-field scoreboard as they
made their tosses from the mound.
Aurilia hit his second homer in the
eighth off Mike Bynum (0-l) to
break a 4-all tie . Alfonzo, who
signed as a free agent during the offseason, came up two batters later and
also homered. Aurilia had his fifth
multihomer game, the first since
Sept. 4, 200 I, at Arizona.
Even without Dusty Baker in the
dugout and former league MVP .Jeff
Kent, the Giants are doing just fine.
"There's no Jeff. There's no Dusty.
No this guy or that ~uy. Why even
think about it?" Auriha said. "I want
to talk about (Ray) Durham, Edgardo
and Felipe."
·
And, of course, Cruz.
After a sub-par spring, he has hit
safely in all seven games. The new
right fielder had three hits and drove
in three runs and also made a diving
catch.
Cruz hit a solo shot in his first at·
bat, and his two-run homer in his
next plate appearance stayed just fair
of the foul pole in left. He singled in
the fifth.
"I wasn't expecting something like
:this," he said. "It just kind of fell in

You wil( have what it takes to
make each one work, so long
as.you stay in your area of ex·
pertise and take on one at
time.
, ARIES (March 21-April
. 19)- There's a chance you
could feel unappreciated by
family members or relative£
today. but don't display your
tlisappointment with a temper.
Suboue your ire and keep on
smiling.
.
~TAURUS (April 20-May
20) - Be extra careful you
don't unintentionally or de.lib·

mutual friend . Your remarks
~ou ld get carried far and wide
and get back to the offended
party .

:GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

CANCER (June 21-July
22) - If there is somethi ng
you'd really like to accomplish today, try to do it in .an
environment free from outside influences . Associates or
'companions could be a big
hindrance for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Doing something for ·another
today merely because you
hope to receive more back in
return could boomerang on
you. Be helpful out of the
goodness of your heart .
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-Chances are you're in for a
fun 'evening tonight, but you
will have to take care not to
overindulge or stay out too
late. A night out on the town
should provide pleasure, not a
hangover;
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct . 23) .
- Watch how you go about

Two sets of 28 banners for
the light poles, one in blue
