Americans are at risk, and they don't know it
WASHINGTON — Americans don't know their risk for sexually transmitted diseases or their partners' sexual histories and consequently don't protect themselves, a survey shows.
The Associated Press
The survey, to be released today found 75 percent of Americans don't believe they could catch a sexually transmitted disease, even though doctors diagnose 12 million new cases — not counting AIDS — every year.
"The message is: Know enough to assess your risk before you decide not to worry" about sexually transmitted diseases. "it's a serious problem," said Ethel Klein of EDK Associates, which conducted the survey for pharmaceutical maker Burroughs Wellcome Co.
The survey marks the release of a new booklet, developed by a coalition of medical organizations, with explicit instructions for detecting the often hidden symptoms of sexual diseases. The government says one in four Americans may get a sexually transmitted disease, which left untreated can cause infertility or even death.
The survey of 1,000 adults attempted to assess Americans' sex lives but turned up contradictions that Klein says illustrate people's "very complicated feelings about sexuality." For example, 76 percent insisted they're in monogamous relationships — but 51 percent said they knew at least four people who had more than one sex partner in the last year.
Yet a fourth of those surveyed didn't know their partner's sexual history
Men reported more sex partners: 51 percent claimed six or more, compared with 25 percent of women. And 28 percent of men reported at least 11 sex partners, compared to 10 percent of women.
— key to determining risk. And those who think they know may be wrong. The survey said only 18 percent of women under 30 believe their partner
— and 46 percent of those at highest risk said they never use a condom.
has had sex with five other people, while 42 percent of men that age and 57 percent age 30-39 claim they have.
The survey concluded that 62 percent of the men paled and half of the women are at moderate or high risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease. Yet, 62 percent said they know very little about such diseases—and 46 percent of those at highest
People who practice safe sex agree it's the woman's job — 69 percent of women say they're the ones to insist on a condom, compared to 12 percent of men.
The survey has a 3 percent margin of error.
Missing boy found living with grandmother in Mildred
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — A 6-year-old boy who was missing for three years was located in Kansas where he had been illegally taken by his maternal grandmother, authorities said.
Adam Michael Croote was at the center of a bitter custody battle between his grandparents after his father went to prison for killing his mother.
The boy was found Sunday in the small town of Mildred, Kan., 75 miles south of Topeka. He had been living there with his maternal grandmother
Margaret Zibura, 46, and her husband, Frank Zibura, 51, FBI officials in Albany said.
In March 1992, after the Ziburas
The fight for custody of Adam began in June 1990 after the boy's father, Army Pkt. Michael Croote, shot and killed his pregnant wife, Wendy Croote, 24, in Hinesville, Ga., near the military base where Michael Croote was then stationed. Croote later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and killing a fetus and was sentenced to 20 years in Georgia state prison.
took off with Adam, the court granted legal guardianship to his paternal grandmother, Linda Koerner of Westerloo, New York.
The Ziburas were federally charged in 1992 with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for custodial interference. Sunday's arrest in Kansas on those charges came without incident, said Victor M. Gonzales, agent in charge of the Albany FBI office.
Adam was located as the result of tips generated by a missing children's flier that included the boy's photograph. Agents credited the organization Missing and Exploited Children based in Arlington, Va., with assisting in the investigation.
"I'm just ecstatic," said Koerner after being informed that Adam was safe and sound. "This is what we've been praying for every day. I haven't stopped shaking since I got the news."
Adam was staying at the home of a minister in Kansas on Sunday following the arrests, authorities said.
Koerner and her daughter planned to fly to Kansas today to bring Adam home.

SETTING THE STANDARDS FOR TODAY'S COMPUTER SALES
Recently, we talked with Commerce Board Members about the changes at Commerce Bank, their president, Jerry Samp and their vision for the future of Lawrence.
Del Shankel Leads Us Through Lawrence
For 35 years, Del Shankel has played a leading role in Lawrence. He began as an assistant professor at the University of Kansas. Now he's the acting Chancellor of the school.
When asked about his teaching and administrative duties, Del feels that both offer unique challenges, "The dedication of
"Some people say we should encourage industrial growth at any cost. But just as many people want controlled growth."
students is somewhat cyclical. Right now, teaching is great because most students are very dedicated and career-oriented. Athletic programs and all the related regulatory issues can give Chancellors gray hair. Fortunately ours is of very high quality with solid leadership. Our 6 football games, 14 basketball games and the many cultural events on campus help make Lawrence a pretty attractive place for visitors."
In his 35 years, Del has seen many changes at the University and in Lawrence. "In 1957, University enrollment was around 10,000. Today it's nearly 29,000. Lawrence has grown along with the school. Especially more
recently to the west and south."
Del believes the growth has come from many areas. "Part of it is from the University. It brings in many out-of-state and international students. There are also the retirees. With developments like Alvamar, many people find Lawrence a nice place to retire."
As to the future of Lawrence, he sees continued growth in the south and west areas. "Right now, the Douglas County area is negotiating land purchases for the Southwest trafficway bypass. It could be a major improvement for traffic spilling into Lawrence.
And it'll make access to West Lawrence a lot easier for people who commute to Kansas City, Johnson County and Topeka.
Del recognizes the different opinions concerning growth, "Some people say we should encourage industrial growth at any cost, but just as many people want controlled growth. I think we'll continue to emphasize and attract high-tech and service-based industries." Del believes these industries will give Lawrence more control over expansion.
As for the role of the University in this growth, he believes, "We have a very highly educated work force here in Lawrence. Many of the students graduate and then decide to stay. They could help give us quality jobs that include high-tech, low-pollution industries."
Because of all this, there's a need for major capital in the city. Del feels that with the resources of a large bank, Commerce is in a position to provide more for business and real estate development.
"I know that Jerry Samp, the President of Commerce, wants to be involved in the community and he's committed to helping people in Lawrence and at the University of Kansas. Like all of us, he's involved for the common good."
It's a lead we can all follow.
