Man Convicted of DUI Must
Live Near Bar
|
| On Dec. 2, Dennis Cayse was convicted
of drunk driving for the 17th time in Ohio, he has a total of 24 DUI's
since 1971. He has been put in jail twice and has had his license revoked
for life. His judge, John Hapner, has ordered him to live within a 1/2
mile of a bar so he will not have to drive home.
The judge has also proposed that Cayse be handcuffed to
passenger door of the couple's pickup truck when third person is not sitting
netween him and the driver, this idea is raising eyebrows across the state.
|
said Hapner's sentencing entry on Dec. 31. "If he
could be kept out of motor vehicles, he could drink himself to death with
impunity if that is what he desires."
His wife was arrested for letting Cayse drive after his
license was revoked for an earlier conviction.
She was placed on probation for five years.
The Ohio chapter of Mother's Against Drunk Driving is
not happy with the judge's action, said Celeste Teresh, state chairwomen.
"I really don't know what was in the judge's
mind," Teresh said. "I'm very disappointed with his ruling.
I would like to see maximum jail time and extensive rehabilitation."

Lunar Prospector Launched
|
|
The Lunar Prospector launched module was from Mountain View,
California on Tuesday the 6th. Is mission is to find out whether there
is water in some forms on the moon. Its search area will be in he lunar
polar area. If water is found, the possibilities of living on the moon
will greatly increase.
On Tuesday the 6th, the Lunar Prospector took off toward
the moon. Scientists hope to locate water on the surface of the moon.
The spaceship is unmanned. It weighs six hundred and
fifty pounds. This small four-foot ship has three engine bursts which are
designed to get up in the orbit of the moon. There are no cameras on board,
but five instruments will be used to map the composition of the entire
lunar surface. Researchers say the shadowy geographical poles themselves
could yield some of the
|
missions most exciting results. Using on eof he five
instruments, a neutron spectrometer, the Lunar Prospector will be checking
for excess hydrogen, an indication of watr.
Scientists think that frozen water from icy comets may
have accumulated within the loare crates on the mon that are permanently
shaded from the sun, and radar ratings sent back by the U.S. military's
Clementine probe in 1994 appeared to confirm that. If there is water on
the moon, it could be very useful for future human colonies there. For
example, its components could be separated for use as rocket fuel.
The price of this mission is about sixty million dollars.
Budget cuts in the early nineteen seventies forced NASA to
|
abandon manner lunar exploration and the U.S. Space Agency
has concentrated on building the space shuttle and sending unmanned probes
to Mars and the outer planets.
Along with this ship there are the ashes of Eugene Shoemaker.
They are attached in a vacuum-sealed capsule. He will be the first man
ever to be buried, in a sense, on the moon, NASA officials said.
Shoemaker was killed this summer in an auto accident.
He is best known as one of the discoverers of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which
crashed so spectacularly into Jupiter a few years ago. He always wanted
to be an astronaut and visit the moon, but couldn't for medical reasons.
In death, Shoemaker is getting his wish. It couldn't happen to a worthier
individual.
