C-4 Missoulian, Friday, September 14, 1990 INTERNATIONAL V. S. African unrest boils over hacking rampage kills 26 4 -Ev IV rdv V-v JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Youths with spears and machetes went on a rampage Thursday in a black commuter train, hacking to death at least 26 people and injuring about 100 as terrified passengers lept from the speeding coaches. Police gave no reason for the attack, which came after black faction fighting left at least 13 other people dead Thursday in townships around Johannesburg. Witnesses at the train station told The Associated Press that about 10 black youths, most in their late teens, boarded the train at the Jeppe Station in Johannesburg and began attacking passengers as the train was moving.
Another gang of men was waiting for the train when it pulled into the next stop, George Goch station, about five minutes later. They began shooting and stabbing the screaming passengers as they tried to flee. Passengers jumped from the train or tried to hide under seats as the youths stabbed and hacked people in the coaches. The dead included elderly women and men who were unable to run away. "They worked their way down the coaches very systematically, killing people.
They were well-organized and spoke to each other as they attacked people," said one man at George Goch station, where the train was halted. Bodies littered coach floors and pools of blood formed along the platform. Scores of screaming passengers pushed and shoved to get off the train as it stopped, witnesses said. The attackers jumped from the train just before it reached the George Goch station and escaped, witnesses said. The gang waiting on the platform also fled.
"We cannot live like this in South Africa," said a black police officer looking at the contorted bodies of four people piled on the floor of one car. Police commanders said they did not know who the attackers were, but two officers at the scene said the youths were Zulus. A train conductor said he heard the youths speaking Zulu. Hundreds of heavily armed police and army troops in battle gear cordoned off the area. Army patrols with assault rifles walked along railway tracks, hunting for bodies.
Two helicopters evacuated injured people to hospitals as ambulances carried other wounded away. In other violence Thursday, police said seven people died and about 400 houses and shacks were burned in pre-dawn fighting at the Tokoza township between Zulus and other blacks armed with axes, swords and clubs. "It's flattened. It's completely flattened," said a stunned woman who searched the area for a friend. Thousands of blacks fled Tokoza and other townships around Johannesburg with their possessions piled in wheelbarrows and shopping carts, seeking shelter at hospitals, schools and churches.
Police also reported one death in Vosloorus and said five blacks, including a policeman, were killed in Soweto. Four policemen have been killed in Soweto, the country's largest township, since Tuesday night. I i Associated Pm MISTAKEN for a Zulu, an ill-fated Shangaan taxi driver is hacked to death by Xhosas.

messages into madcap adventure stories. Other highlights NBC installs its new Friday-night lineup of "Quantum Leap" (KECI, 7 p.m.), "Night Court" (8 p.m.), "Wings" (8:30 p.m.) and "Midnight Caller" (9 p.m.). New episodes of all four begin Sept. 28. The "Quantum Leap" story is the season's best, shedding new light on the character of Al (Dean Stockwell), a former prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Comedian Steve Martin wrote and starred in "Roxanne" (8 p.m., KPAX), a 1987 updating of the Cyrano de Bergerac story being rerun. It casts Martin as a large-nosed Washington state fire chief, Daryl Hannah as the astronomer he loves and Rick Rossovich as the fireman for whom the chief pens love letters. Alan Thicke hosts a half-hour, behind-the-scenes special on last season's most talked-about series, "Twin Peaks," and one of the new season's most eagerly awaited entries, "Cop Rock" (8:30 p.m., KXLY). Included is a conversation with Catherine Coulson, the Log Lady of "Twin Peaks." Scheduled on "2020" (9 p.m., ABC): new treatments and screening techniques for prostate cancer patients. "Later With Bob Costas" celebrates its second anniversary with a 90-minute special "2 Years CBS launches two new animated series in prime time tonight: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (KPAX, 7 p.m.) and "Tiny Toon Adventures" (KPAX, 7:30 p.m.).
"Ninja Turtles," the comicbook adaptation that is already hugely popular in syndication, officially joins CBS's Saturday-morning lineup tomorrow. Sewer-dwelling Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo take on a band of cuff-link-stealing bandits in this half-hour preview. "Tiny Toon Adventures" is more unusual, because it's not a CBS show. This Steven Spielberg-conceived weekday cartoon series featuring essentially pint-size versions of Warner Bros, favorites Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam and others debuts in syndication on Monday. The animation uses more than twice the usual number of drawings, making it the best-looking in TV today except, of course, for the original Warner Bros, cartoons, which were made for movie theaters and can still be seen intact on cable.
Adults looking for the smart-aleck attitude and wit of the old Warner Bros, classics will be disappointed, however; these are aimed squarely at kids and reflect a '90s sensibility, sneaking pro-social George Sanders star in this thriller about an American agent caught up in a modern-day neo-Nazi movement in Berlin.

George Segal, Alec Guinness, Max von Sydow, Senta Berger and ADVICE CONVERSATION CARLA COX "Tt4 fir I Diabetics' food needs vary with lifestyle There are over 12 million people in the United States with diabetes.
Of those, 40,000 live in Montana. Diabetes is a disease that affects the way our bodies use food. It is common and treatable. Only if people recognize the symptoms, seek help, accept the diagnosis, follow appropriate treatments and monitor blood-sugar levels can they minimize complications from diabetes. What is diabetes? Normally some sugar is in the blood at all times.
When blood sugars go up, insulin is released in the body from the pancreas. The insulin tells the cells of the body to allow the sugar in the bloodstream to enter and to be used for energy. If there is not enough insulin available (as is the case with diabetes), the sugar cannot get into the cells and so the level in the blood continues to rise. In diabetes, blood sugar (glucose) is above normal much of the time. Symptoms of diabetes include thirst, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination and fatigue.
Most diabetes occurs in adults and is called Type II diabetes. Eighty percent of adults with diabetes are overweight. If they were to lose weight, many would normalize their blood-sugar levels. The first line of defense against Type II diabetes is an individualized food plan and exercise program. Medication may A HEALTHY OUTLOOK changing insulin regimen.
The foods you eat can and do make a difference. Three major things must be considered when planning a food plan for someone with diabetes: how much food is eaten; what type of food is eaten; when the food is eaten. The quantity of food to be eaten varies with each individual. Body size, exercise, individual variations in calorie burning all affect the amount of food each of us needs to eat. When too much food is eaten or not enough exercise done, weight goes up.
When a person cuts down on food eaten, exercises more than usual or both, weight drops off. The amount of food eaten at each meal can also play a role in regulating blood sugars. Some individuals do best on a three-meals-per-day pattern; others need as much as six small meals per day. Each person with diabetes needs a food plan tailored to their lifestyle and to their individual needs. Types of foods can also make a difference with blood sugar levels.
Juice can make blood sugars rise rapidly. Fruit and bread products create higher, more rapid peaks in blood sugar than protein or fat-rich foods. The latter, such as meat, plain yogurt, cheese and peanut butter, provide a more gradual rise in blood sugar that lasts a longer time. It is often important to combine types of foods to create the blood sugars appropriate for the task being accomplished. For example, runners may need quick energy for the present.
An orange or cup of juice may be just what they need. If they are hiking all day, foods such as dried fruit and nuts work well for longer, more sustained energy. Timing of foods is also very important. No person on insulin or oral medication should skip a meal, especially not breakfast. An individual with a shifting schedule should see a dietitian regarding the most appropriate meal pattern for their lifestyle.
If exercise is part of one's lifestyle (and it certainly should be), meal timing can be very critical to performance as well as to appropriate blood-sugar levels. If you or your child has diabetes, spend some time each day reviewing the types of foods that are being eaten, the meal spacing and the food combining. The entire family can and should be eating the same types of foods for, in reality, a diabetic meal plan is the healthy eating plan we all should be following. For more information on diabetes education programs in the community, contact Judy Gilman, St. Patrick Hospital, or Deb Overholtzer, Western Montana Clinic.
For information on the diabetes support group, contact Marge Samsoe, St. Patrick Hospital. General meetings are the third Tuesday of each month in St. Patrick's auditorium. For specific dietary information, dietitians are available at Western Montana Clinic, St.

Carta Cox, M.S., is a registered dietitian in the nutrition department of Western Montana Clinic. need to follow; however, it is generally not initially prescribed. Many individuals can control their blood sugars with exercise and diet. Type I diabetes is less common and requires insulin shots along with an individually prescribed food and exercise plan.
Both types of diabetes follow the same basic guidelines for eating: a well-balanced food plan with food distributed evenly throughout the day. Frequently, this part of the diabetic education is omitted or forgotten. This can result in uncontrolled blood sugars, extra oral medication or a frequently ABIGAIL VAN BUREN Boy's spending upsets parents DEAR ABBY: We have a 9-year-old son who thinks that all money is good for is spending. We give him a weekly allowance and suggest that he save half of it, but he gets very upset when we try to keep half of his money. If he goes to a store and has 25 cents left, he will drop it into any kind of machine just to get rid of it.
If we give him 15 minutes in a toy store to buy something and we tell him his time is up, he'll grab whatever is nearest just to spend whatever he has left over. Abby, do you, or any of your readers, have any ideas on how to get a child to appreciate the value of a dollar? FRUSTRATED IN FLORIDA struggle, he'll never save a dime. Spending his money is his way of asserting his independence. Explain to him that the money he saves is his money, too, and can be spent as he chooses after it reaches a certain amount. Let him make his own choices, whether you agree with those choices or not.
Read on for a letter I received from a Seattle father a few years ago: DEAR ABBY: As a father, I made a lot of mistakes (my son is now 14), but I know I did at least one thing right, and I'd like to share it with you. When my son was 3 years old, I started giving him an allowance of 50 cents a week. There was one catch he could spend 25 cents on anything he wanted, but the other 25 cents he had to put in his piggy bank. He could spend his piggy bank savings on anything he wanted, but only after it reached $10. i "A i i rK lii'IUP Every week, he spent his 25 cents on candy and gum, but he never really thought much about his savings until he had accumulated his first $10.
When he realized what he could get if he saved up his money, he began saving ALL of his allowance. Every year on his birthday, his allowance was increased 50 cents, so he had 25 cents more to save. Also, the amount he was required to save increased by $10. He now has his first after-school job, and he's saving for a set of drums and a school trip to France. I have never talked to him directly about the virtues of saving, but he saves money like no other teen-ager I know.
PROUD SEATTLE POFPA DEAR POPPA: You have a right to be proud of yourself, as well as your son. You've given him a gift that will last a lifetime a lesson in saving. DEAR ABBY DEAR FRUSTRATED: As long as you permit your son's allowance to be the focus of a power.
