THE PLAIN DEALER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1989 3-BW Senate bicker anti-drug By THOMAS SUDDES PD BUREAU COLUMBUS The Senate hierarchy got a premature case of election-year flutters yesterday as the Democratic and Republican leaders wrangled over competing plans for Ohio's war on illegal drug use. Minority Leader Harry Meshel, D-33, of Youngstown, said he was the first legislator to call for a comprehensive anti-drug bill for the state. Republicans, whose 19 senators rule the 33-seat Senate, drafted their plan later, Meshel said. The GOP leader, Senate President Stanley J. Aronoff, R-8, of Cincinnati, initially took the political high road, saying Senate Republicans want a "bipartisan approach" to new drug-control legislation.
But Aronoff slammed Meshel's plan. A Republican drug-control bill introduced last week by Sen. Charles E. Henry, R-32, of Burton, "is in sharp contrast to the Meshel plan, which establishes a new layer of state bureaucracy," Aronoff said. Earlier, however, in response to concerns raised by Ohio Chief Justice Thomas J.
Moyer, Meshel had said he would revise a portion of the Democrats' anti-drug bill, which calls for creating special district drug courts. Meshel said the new Democratic plan would create 22 additional common pleas judgeships in the state's 12 most populous counties to help relieve court workloads. 1 The new judgeships, including four in Cuyahoga County, would exist leaders over plans for one six-year term each, then be automatically abolished unless the General Assembly extended them, Meshel said. Meshel said regional hearings indicated Ohioans were "happy we were trying to promote a statewide plan of some sort." Meshel said he might try next week to incorporate his bill by floor amendment into a Housepassed bill, scheduled for Senate debate Tuesday, that would create a state department to treat alcoholics and drug addicts. But Meshel charged that Republicans probably would give the Democratic plan short shrift.
"It won't get to the floor for a vote if they have their way," he said. Aronoff, who noted that the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Paul E. Pfeifer, R-26, of Bucyrus, had given Meshel's bill two hearings so far, said, "I'm certain more hearings will be held." Meshel also bridled at a Senate anti-drug task force created by Aronoff. Meshel said Senate Democrats hadn't been given adequate representation on the seven-member task force, comprised of five Republicans and two Democrats.
Meshel said Democrats might decide not to participate. "I'm not sure we can appoint two people if its efforts are not going to be honest ones," Meshel said. Aronoff created the Senate task force to coordinate the state's drugfighting efforts with President Bush's anti-drug plan. Last of 3 KSU officials in drug probe cleared Four counts of illegal processing of drug documents were dropped in Portage County Common Pleas Court yesterday against the director of Kent State University's health center. "I'm greatly relieved this is over," said Dr.
Jay Cranston. "It's been a terriPortage ble three County months." Cranston was the last of three KSU officials cleared of charges stemming from an investigation this year by campus and Portage County authorities. The investigation suggested irregularities in how drugs were dispensed from the health center, including charges of prescriptions being written by unauthorized people. 16 colleges share COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio Board of Regents distributed $1.2 million in federal grants yesterday for 26 projects aimed at bolstering mathematics and science education. The panel also approved a $7 million dormitory and dining hall project that will provide Youngstown State University with additional student housing for up to 450 students.
Sixteen institutions statewide will share grants of various amounts under the $1.2 million allocated under the Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Act. Mayor running mate in June, Taft said the prominence of Franklin County played an important role in his choice. Voinovich has not announced running mate. Teater said her presence on the Taft ticket would help win the endorsem*nt, and she disputed suggestions that Voinovich had secured the endorsem*nt.
"We've met with 1 central committee members individually and in groups," she said. "We're just working away." Taft campaign coordinator Bob Clegg acknowledged Voinovich made contacts with committee members earlier and said the endorsem*nt would be a tough fight. "But we're not going to concede anything," he said. "We feel very upbeat about our Water One of the county's key selling points was that the deal would slash Painesville sewage costs by at least said Gary Kron, director of the county's Department of Utilities. Kron said the Painesville system was operating at only capacity, so combining the systems would bring the city's rate down because costs would be spread over a larger number of users.
But Painesville City Councilman Joseph Hada Jr. said the county's offer wasn't as rosy as it looks. He said the city would save Mass set to celebrate work in El Salvador By DARRELL HOLLAND STAFF WRITER A quarter of a century of missionary work by Clevelanders in of the poorest and most violent nations in the world will be marked here tomorrow. The efforts of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese in El Salvador will be celebrated in a Mass at 1:30 p.m. at St.
John Bosco Catholic Church, 6480 Pearl Parma Heights. It has been 25 years since the diocese heeded a request made by Pope Pius XII, and affirmed by Pope John XXIII, for North American Catholics to supply religious leadership in lands where there was a shortage of priests. Since then, Cleveland has sent about 50 people priests, nuns and laity to work in four different missions in the poor Central American nation of about 5 million. "Throughout these 25 years, the mission team has walked in faith with the people of El Salvador," said the Rev. James P.
Kenny, "sharing with them their joys and sorrows, working side-by-side to create faith communities centered in the sacraments and suffering with them through the devastating effects of poverty, war, earthquakes and floods." Kenny is a former missionary who served in El Salvador. Most who have gone there from Cleveland have stayed for five or six years. Kenny, the director of the diocese's Mission Office in Cleveland, which supervises the work of the Inside-Out banquet The Rev. Ben Kinchlow, a former host on Pat Robertson's "700 Club" religious television program, will speak at a banquet at 6:45 p.m. Friday at the Hilton Hotel, Rockside Rd.
and Interstate 77, in Independence. The event is sponsored by InsideOut Ministries of Cleveland, a group headed by the Rev. Nick Pirovolos that sponsors programs for prison inmates. Lecture series set The Rev. George assistant professor of sacred Scripture at St.
Mary Seminary here, will present lectures on the ways the Gospels depict Jesus in a series of four lectures, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, and continuing for the following three Wednesday evenings, at St. Ann Catholic Church, 2175 Coventry Cleveland Heights. Baha'i program Greater Cleveland members of the Baha'i faith are to present a program at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Bain Park Cabin, 21077 N.

"We are grateful for the many dedicated men and women of the diocese who have served on the team in El Salvador and who continue to do so today," he said. "We give thanks also for the generosity of the people of the Cleveland diocese who have supported the mission work in El Salvador." The service tomorrow, Kenny said, should be a time for the people of Cleveland to celebrate with the people of El Salvador the accomplishments of the Cleveland missionaries, especially in helping to develop Salvadoran laity to serve the church and their country. The service "also will be a time to pray for peace and social justice for the people of El Salvador," Kenny said, alluding to the 10-year war that has claimed an estimated 70,000 lives and to the wide gap between the rich and the poor there. RELIGION BRIEFS NEW HINDU TEMPLE HERE: One of the largest communities of Hindus in Greater Cleveland has located its place of worship, ShivaVishnu Temple, in a building it purchased at 7733 Ridge Parma. Services are Sundays from 10 a.m.
to noon. The temple has about 500 members, said Jandhyala Sharma, one of the group's leaders, and Sunday services are open to the public. The temple's members also are attempting to bring a Hindu priest from India to lead them, Sharma said. Lelyveld, senior rabbi emeritus of Fairmount Temple in Beachwood, will give six lectures on the "social values in Jewish thought and practice" this fall at John Carroll University in University Heights. The lectures, all at 8 p.m.
in the Jardine Room of the Student Activities Center, will be Tuesday and Sept. 26 and Oct. 3, 10, 17 and 24. The lectures are being presented under the auspices of the Walter and Mary Tuohy Chair of Interreligious Studies at JCU. The lectures, established in 1966, were one of the first ecumenical lecture series to be established at a U.S.
university. Each year, a spokesman for JCU said, an outstanding theologian has been invited to give the special lectures and to teach theology courses. Lelyveld's appearances at JCU also are supported by the Jewish Chautauqua Society. He has been the Bernard K. Hollander lecturer of religious studies there for the past nine years.
FUND-RAISER FOR ST. JOHN CATHEDRAL: The seventh annual Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist Benefit Ball will begin p.m. Sept. 23 at Stouffer Tower City Plaza Hotel.
Tickets are $125, or $1,250 for a table of 10, a spokesman for the cathedral said. About 950 people are expected to attend, said Carl Liccardi, chairman of the community-based organizing committee, composed of 31 JCU TO EXPLORE JEWISH SOCIAL THOUGHT: Rabbi Arthur The missionaries have worked under an unjust social and political system. Most of the nation's wealth is held by a few families, leaving about 4 million Salvadorans to live in poverty and servitude. But it is not social systems that the missionaries have gone there to change. Over and over, Kenny and others, including the missionaries, insist they are there to do religious work, not political or social work.
In doing so, poor Salvadorans often have become liberated from their past willingness to accept their poverty without protest as they have come to understand that the Gospel message of salvation includes both freedom from sin and freedom from injustice and poverty. The violence and injustice that have been inflicted upon poor Salvadorans have touched the lives of Clevelanders because two members of the Cleveland missionary team were killed Dec. 2, 1980, by Salvadoran security officers. Those later convicted of the killings of Sister Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan, the Clevelanders, along with two Maryknoll nuns, Sister Ita Ford and Sister Maura Clarke, are believed to have acted on the orders of right-wingers from the upper class. The missionaries were killed, along with many others among the poor, allegedly because the rightists believed they were working against the interests of the rich by promoting the concerns of the poor.

The Rev. Theodore Marszal, cathedral administrator and chief pastor, said ball was begun "to assist the cathedral in maintaining its large downtown physical Past balls have paid for rebuilding the cathedral's front steps, replacing downspouts, painting interior walls, installing a new sound system, restoring stainedglass windows, and installing in the cathedral's tower six bells and carillon, which can be heard throughout most of downtown.
The cathedral has served downtown Cleveland for 130 years, and many events of general interest are held there, as well as major worship services among Catholics. This year, Marszal said, the cathedral has continued its six-year program of providing hot meals or bag lunches each day at noon for the poor and indigent, often serving more than 200 meals each day. The ball is important to the support of the cathedral and its programs, Marszal said, because St. John does not have a large resident the Erie (Pa.)

Two Salvadoran prelates are expected to come to Cleveland to attend the service, Kenny said, including San Salvador Archbishop Arturo Rivera Damas, who is involved in current efforts to begin promising peace talks between the government and leaders of Salvador's leftist guerrillas, and Bishop Jose Eduardo Alvarez, bishop of San Miguel.

Both John Faulstick, the university's head athletic trainer, and chief pharmacist Edwin Ritchey were acquitted of charges relating to illegal drug distribution.
Charges against Cranston involved writing prescriptions without proper documentation and altering prescriptions. The four counts were felonies. Cranston has been on administrative leave since June. He said he planned to meet soon with university officials to decide when he would return. Officials in the Portage County prosecutor's office said a major reason for the dismissal was Cranston's cooperation with the university in revising drug distribution policy at the health center.
million in grants Garry McKenzie, a regents consultant, said 79 proposals had been received, and that at least another $1 million in funding could have been used. Universities will use the money for projects designed to enhance instruction in math and science by improving the skills of elementary and secondary teachers, and to improve the performance and understanding of students. OSU received the largest grant: $119,000 for a biology life-sciences project in which 14 regional workshops will be conducted on the humane care and use of animals, including legal concerns about animal use. Voinovich press secretary Curt Steiner said, "We are not overconfident, but we feel our chances of winning the endorsem*nt are good." has worked the committee very hard over the last few months. I haven't done a head count, but it appears his support is pretty solid." Davidson and Terry Casey, executive director of the Franklin County Republican Organization, each noted that Voinovich had maintained and extended valuable committee contacts he began courting in 1987, when he expected a primary battle with Rep.
Bob McEwen, R-6, of Hillsboro, in the 1988 U.S. Senate race. "Clearly Voinovich has got a jump. Voinovich has spent more time on it," Casey said. Voinovich's progress toward capturing the endorsem*nt appears to blunt Taft's strategy in naming Franklin County Commissioner Dorothy S.
