Citizen annouced he was retiring after testing positive for AIDS Jim Tucci who started 12 years ago as a reporter at the local daily newspaper is one of the more visible AIDS stories to hit this sunny tourist mecca but Key West famed for a relaxed relatively carefree lifestyle is coping with one of the nation's highest AIDS rates Despite signs that a spiraling number of AIDS cases has taken a heavy toll on health service providers longtime residents say bigger richer cities could probably learn something from this community's attitude toward vic- - think anyone can understand our concern that people who’ve contracted AIDS elsewhere and are looking for a sympathetic community will think of Key West — Mayor Richard Heyman ‘I tims “I think this town is a lot fur- ther ahead than others” said Gordon Ross Bondesen a gay entertainer at a popular resort hotel who has lived here nearly 20 years “There's a lot of education and support” and compassion he said However concerns raised in published reports on the preva- - lence of AIDS and on its potential impact on the tourism industry anger community leaders “My only concern is the way it’s reported not that it’s here” said Don Defeo president of the AssociaKey West Hotel-Mottion “There’s a lot of competition out for the tourist dollar" said el AIDS population Chamber of Commerce President John Parks Jr “We're more concerned about the hurricane situa- tion” said Dave Nolan Yet acquired immune deficiency syndrome has had a much more dramatic effect on the people of Key West this decade than any hurricane Just 243 cases have been recorded since 1 982 by the Monroe unit’s statistician One reason for the high rate is a large gay population which has a higher incidence of AIDS County Public Health Unit which covers all of the Florida Keys population about 77000 But the rate of 121 cases per 100000 people puts Key West (population 27000) in the company of such cities as San Francisco (104 cases per 100000) New York (70 per 100000) and Miami (47 per 100000) Key However the greater concern West has most of the cases “In a little town like this that much AIDS is relatively a lot” for the future is new cases the health Some victims diagnosed elsewhere also move here raising concern about limited resources being strained “I think anyone can understand our concern that people' who’ve contracted AIDS elsewhere and are looking for a sympathetic community will think of Key West but there is a point where the community will be stretched to the limit” said Mayor Richard Heyman to-dea- Bad moods often spring from work Co-worke- account for a lot of stress rs By SCOTT WINOKUR San Francisco Examiner Behavioral scientists accentuating the negative have taken a commonplace feature of daily life — the d bad mood — and put it under a microscope They made a series of surprising discoveries that could revolutionize the way we conduct stress-relate- ourselves in the workplace In a study of 332 Detroit-are- a residents titled “Effects of Daily Stress on Negative Mood” researchers led by psychologist Niall Bolgcr of the University of Denver found that: Daily stressors such as an argument a child's sickness or mechanical trouble with a car account for 20 percent of our moods About one-thir- d o' all stressors reoccur the next day Interpersonal conflicts espeneighbors and certain friends — that is people with whom we have ongoing relationships but “insufficient intimacy and understanding” — are by far the worst stressors accounting for more than 80 percent of our bad moods stressors occurring over a series of days typically lose most or all of their impact by the second day because we become used to them emotionally In contrast interpersonal stressors — worse to begin with — get worse over time Contrary to some other researchers’ findings stressors oc- curring in the same time frame do not intensify each other’s effects Rather people reach emocially with 4 tional plateaus On days following a stressful event there is a “rebound” effect that makes our moods better than they would have been if the event had not occurred “The events that really matter are the interpersonal conflicts — these are the things that produce bad mental health each day” Researchers study bat saliva as clot dissolver Chicago Tribune NEW ORLEANS — Vampire bats long deplored in fictional horror stories now are being recruited in real life to fight heart disease Vampire bat saliva contains a chemical that could prove more effective than anything now available for breaking up clots that cause heart attacks a researcher reported this week to the annual meeting of the American Heart Association The bats which feed on cattle and other animals in South America depend upon the fresh blood of their hosts for sustenance The bats typically return to the same host to take meals from the same wounds said Stephen Garden a scientist with Merck Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories in West Point Pa Once the bat bites its host the wound usually continues to bleed for four to six hours before it Clots Garde II said “These properties led us to look at the vampire bat in our search for better clotting agents” Garden said The researchers studying vampire bat saliva have isolated the anticlotting agent it contains and have studied its genetic proper- Bolger said in an interview “Before people studying stress thought it could be anything from missing the bus to a child getting sick and they normally thought of relationships as help- ing us “But there has been an increasing awareness in the last five years that we really should be paying a lot of attention to the negative sides of our relation- ships at home and in the workplace” The study published in the current issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology employed confidential questionnaires allowing participants — married suburbanities of all ages — to rate their responses to 11638 daily incidents occurring over a period in the fall of 1986 Its publication comes in the wake of a Gallup poll showing that depression and anxiety are widespread in more than 70 percent of US companies and that d one worker in four has a problem James

picking up the shock of interpersonal events in terms of psychophysiology” he said “These events may be important The old axiom ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me’ may not be accurate in fact” Organizational psychologist David Abramis of California State University Long Beach who has conducted similar research said the study tells employers two things: to hire
