Police investigate abuse at preschool
By United Press International
NASHVILLE, Teen. — Authorities removed about 65 children from a Nashville day-care center following reports that some of them may have been sexually abused.
Officials said Saturday that police and the state Department of Human Services had been investigating Miss Ann's Preschool for a week and that all employees and children would be questioned.
Some of the children were placed in the school by the state because they had been abused or neglected at home.
"We are conducting a joint investigation with the Department of Human Services," said Metro Youth Guidance Maj. George Currey. "Be beyond that, I really cannot comment."
Authorities said the investigation
started when a child was examined at a medical center and taken to a hospital for further examination. A hospital doctor notified police that the child had been abused in the groin area.
Police said three other children may have been abused at the center.
Anna Hier, owner of the day care center, confirmed the investigation but added, "All but one of my staff have been cleared.
"The center itself has been cleared. We still have our license and are still accepting children." she said.
But police said the investigation had not ruled out the possibility that more than one staff member might have abused the children.
James Curtis, Hier's attorney, said he would not comment until "I get all the facts."
Stormy Diana stalls off Florida coast
By United Press International
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tropical storm Diana, on the verge of becoming a hurricane with winds up to 70 mph, ground to a halt off Jacksonville last night and forecasters said waves of 12 feet or more would lash the coast if the storm moved ashore.
south move, But the National Hurricane Center in Miami said when Diana begins to move again it is expected to rumble northward on a track virtually paralleling the coast, and had no indication where it might strike land.
It was already so close to shore that "any variation to the left will bring the center on the coast," forecasters said last night.
THE STORM, ITS winds only 4 mph sly of hurricane strength,
was stalled 60 miles southeast of Jacksonville Beach. A hurricane
watch was in force as far north as Oregon Inlet, N.C.
"It almost a hurricane right now. It doesn't take much strengthening for it to achieve hurricane strength," forester Hal Gerrish said. "Just a slight shift to the left and the storm will be on the coast. Our forecasting track indicates it is going to curve right along the coast for the next day, moving parallel to the coastline."
A large area of gale-horse winds extended 150 miles north of the storm's center and 80 miles to the south. Some squalls had moved inland.
Residents of six low-lying northeast Florida counties were warned to be ready to evacuate in case of flooding. At Jacksonville Beach, owners were taping store windows and heavy clouds moved in from the sea.
AT MAYPORT NAVAL Air Station, Petty Officer Peter Davis
said ships and boats were moved to hurricane moorings inland and boaters were staying off the water.
"They're all buttoned up. I haven't seen a single boat out all day," Davis said.
In Jacksonville, the fist major population center in Diana's path, city workers were put on alert and some were called out to clean up debris that winds could toss through the air.
"The weather here has just been kind of rainy. The (St. Johns) River is up maybe 7 feet," said Dr. Richard Leibowitz, a dentist who lives on the river a few miles from the beach. "Two or three weeks we had a real wind blow through here. It was much worse then."
"Kids are out playing in the mud puddles today."
THE HURRICANE WATCH is in effect from Jacksonville north to Oregon Inlet, N.C. Seas of 12 to
18 feet were predicted from St. Augustine north to Savannah.
Partner south, NASA officials decided to delay the transfer of the space shuttle Discovery from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., to the oceanside shuttle launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
NASA spokesman Jim Ball said Discovery flew from California to Altus AFB, Okla., and would spend the night there or at Eglin AFB, in Florida's Panhandle.
"The space shuttle Discovery will not be flown back to Cape Canaveral tonight," Ball said. "While the effects of weather associated with Tropical Storm Diana have been diminishing in the Cape (Canaveral) area, the continued chance of rainstorms prompted officials to delay Discovery's return."
OFFICIALS SAID HIGH winds and seas kicked up when Diana formed.
Congressional and governor's races are on for primaries in 10 states
By United Press International
Two women making long-shot bids to topple popular Republican senators, battles for five congressional seats, including Geraldine Ferraro, and governor's races in three states highlight primarys tomorrow in 40
In Colorado, Democratic Lt. G. Nancy Dick, who has never lost a political race, faces attorney Carlos Lucero, who is running in his first, for the right to take on Republican
Sen. William Armstrong in November.
veneris.
Dick, who stumbled early in her bid for the Democratic Senate nomination, is now believed to have a slight edge on Lucero but the race is expected to be extremely close.
IN MINNESEA, REPUBLICAN Sen. Rudy Boshwitz is heavily favored over a couple of unknows for renomination. To face him in November, Secretary of State Joan Growe is favored to win the Democratic nomination over state Treasurer Robert Mattson.
Growe is considered the "best shot to pick up a (Republican incumbent)'s" seat" in November, according to the Women's Campaign Fund in Washington, D.C. And the Democrat whose mittee has listed her race "among the top eight in the country they believe a Democrat can win."
Five congressional seats are up for grabs in Colorado, New Hampshire and New York, including a hotly contested battle to succeed Ferraro, the Democratic nominee for vice president.
THERE IS A four-way Democratic race in Ferraro's Queens, N.Y. district. Two Republicans also areying, but the eventual Republican nominee is given little chance of winning the seat in a heavily Democratic area.
Rep. Richard Ottinger, D-N.Y., and Rep. Barber Canable, R-N.Y., also are retiring at the end of their terms. Four men seek the Democratic nomination to succeed Ottinger; one Republican candidate is unopposed. Conable's district has no primary.
In New Hampshire's 1st District, Rep. Norm D'Amours is stepping down after five terms to challenge Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R.N.H.
Sen. Gordon Humphrey and D'Arrous and Humphrey are both unopposed in the primary.
To replace D'Amours, five Republicans — mostly conservative — and three Democrats are seeking their respective party nominations.
IN COLORADO'S 3RD District — the state's only congressional primary — Republicans and Democrats are running to retain Democratic Rep Ray
Kogovsek.
Democratic state Sen. Richard Soash faces W. Mitchell, a wheelchair-bound former mayor of Crested Butte who uses only the letter W as a first name. On the Republican side, rancher and investment banker Mike Strang faces Phil Klimsitch, a lawyer.
There are governor's races in New Hampshire, where incumbent John Sununu faces token opposition on the Republican side, and in Rhode Island and Vermont — where no incumbent is running.
