But he's not apologizing. The Republican incumbent, his voice quivering, said his Demo- cratic opponent had wronged him just as he wronged Geraldine Fer- raro with attacks on her character in the Democratic primary. \It's a continuation of what he did to her, except I think it's worse,\ D'Amato said as he arriv- ed at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Monday to join the Columbus Day parade up Fifth Avenue. An aide to D'Amato went further, saying: \We consider this an ab- solute ethnic slur.\ \What do you associate with the word fascist except Mussolini?,\ said the aide, Zenia Mucha. Abrams had yelled, \He's a fascist,\ to an audience of about 100 students at a rally Sunday night at the State University cam- pus at Bingham ton. \He acknowledged it was an un- fortunate remark and he's not go- ing to say it again,\ Abrams' campaign strategist, Ethan Geto, said. \The spirit and intent of what he meant to say was 'right- wing extremist,' and that's what he'll say in the future.\ Abrams spent the day in the Binghamton and Albany areas, Saranac Uk» 881-6470 Dustin Hoffman Geena Davis PG13 Now Showing 7:00 ft 9:30 TUo*.

Later, at a news conference out- side a closed Ford radiator plant in Green Island near Albany, Abrams again stopped short of apologiz- ing. Instead, he accused D'Amato of using \scurrilous lies\ in cam- paign ads and complained again that D'Amato supporters had disrupted Abrams campaign events. Asked if he thought D'Amato was a fascist, Abrams said, \I think his campaign has handled Alfonse D'Amato itself very poorly by encouraging people to ... shout us down ... I think that's extremist behavior.\ Abrams said his outburst Sunday night was caused by \a welling, building anger.\ But D'Amato said, \There are powerful connotations behind that word and to say I'm a fascist is in- excusable. ... If, in desperation, he resorts to that kind of charac- terization, it says an awful lot about him and his character. In the four-way Democratic primary, Abrams and City Comp- remark ;' i trailer Liz Holtzman both revived allegations suggesting possible ties between Ferraro and ' organized crime figures. Holtzman, marching in the parade, said, \People have been very friendly.\ Marching up ahead were Ferraro, who has yet to endorse Abrams, and Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. They both turned aside suggestions that Abrams stayed away from New York's big parade because Italian-Americans were angry over his tactics against Ferraro. ; \D'Amato has spent a fortune . beating him up upstate, so Bob is going up to repair some of the damage,\ Cuomo said. The. gov, emor said Abrams had sought hid advice and \I said I think they'll understand in New York City.\ ; \He knows the importance of the; Italian-American community in this state and I'm sure he is ad-! dressing Italian-Americans in their; pride upstate on this day,\ Ferraro; said. i By ethnic group, Italian-^ Americans are the state's biggest voting bloc. ; Ferraro said she and Abrams were . still in the process of discussing an endorsement, which! will undoubtedly be forthcoming in the future. ; Asked when that might be, she said, \That's up to Mr. Abrams.\ Columbus Day observances offer different perspectives ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Ameri- cans have anointed Christopher Columbus as a hero, but Native Americans embrace a painful perspective of the explorer's legacy, a young descendant of American Indians said. \This is a day of great sorrow for Native Americans,\ eighth- grader Melissa Cole of Rensselaer said Monday on the 500th anniver- sary of Columbus' voyage. While politicians jockeyed for the spotlight in Columbus Day parades across the state and schoolchildren welcomed the day off, there was insistence from those who rallied here and in Sy- racuse that Americans' traditional view of Columbus was wrong. \If you want Columbus as your hero, have him as your hero. That's your business. He's not a hero of ours,\ said Tom Sullivan, a Mohawk activist and educator who led a counter-rally in Syra- cuse, a short distance from where community leaders were unveiling a restored Columbus Monument About 500 people attended the unveiling of the statue that was desecrated by vandals last year. The statue's restoration cost $500,000. On the other hand, more than 350 Indians and their supporters in both cities used the occasion to call for representation of Native Americans in the United Nations, Indian self-determination and eco- nomic justice. At the Albany rally, Cole, 13, ex- plained how Indians consider Col- umbus an invader rather than a discoverer. Columbus brought with him slavery, disease and im- perialism that resulted in the destruction of native peoples and their land, she said. \Native families who grow their own food are starving, Cole said. \Native lands are being taken and raped of the natural resources for the almighty dollar. Very often the :P I* profits don't trickle down to the native people.\ Overcast skies did little to damp- en the enthusiasm of 250 people gathered at the foot of the Capitol steps. For more than two hours, Uiey joined in several songs led by folk singer Pete Seeger and others, and listened to speeches calling for Indian sovereignty and an end to pollution. \The respect and harmony with nature, the delicate balance of all living things. These sacred values are not shared by white America. It has to stop,\ Cole said. The crowd marched several blocks to the capitol, led by an American flag emblazoned with the image of an Indian in head- dress. \Columbus Didn't Discover America. He Invaded It,\ said one placard carried by marchers. \Teach the Truth About In- digenous Peoples and Columbus,\ another read. The Syracuse demonstrators, Meteorite hits cah tii&s IMW iii driveway PEEKSKILL, N.Y. (AP) — A lime-green fireball sighted in the East Coast sky produced the mete- orite that landed on a teen-ager's car before digging a foot-deep crater in her driveway, an expert says. \It most certainly was a meteor- ite,\ Dr. William Menke of the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory in Palisades in Rockland County concluded Mon- day. He said the brown rock that crashed into the car in Peekskill on Friday night was similar to those Grandson shot after argument BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A man shot and seriously wounded his grandson after an argument on Monday, police said. Willie Price, 66, of Buffalo fired a single round from his 12-gauge shotgun into the back and shoulder of Anthony Earvin, 27, in Price's home shortly after midnight, police said. Price was charged with assault and weapons posses- sion. Earvin was in serious condition at Erie County Medical Center. Investigators said the two often argued, and Price had obtained a court order to keep his grandson away from his home. \The grandson had been threatening his grandfather,\ said police Capt. Charles Fieramusca. Fieramusca said the argument broke out after Earvin had stopped at his grandfather's house* found deep within the earth. It measured 11 inches by 4 inches by 5 inches and weighed about 22 pounds. The rock probably was a remnant of the fireball seen seconds earlier by thousands along the East Coast, Menke said. The fiery entry of the meteorite turned its crust brown as it entered the earth's atmosphere, he said. Menke, lab associate Mark Anders and Dr. Martin Prinz from the American Museum of Natural History said the rock was what is known as a chrondite, the most common form of meteorite. \It's reasonably rare\ for a me- teorite of that size to make it through the atmosphere, Menke said. But he noted that within the last 15 years, meteorites have hit two houses in southern Connecticut. And on May 17, 1990, a meteorite weighing more than a ton crash- landed in a farmer's field in Sterlitmak, Russia, causing a 5- foot crater, Menke said. \Every day tons of material falls from space onto the earth,\ he said. \Through a telescope you can see five or six an hour. Most burn up as they enter the eanh's atmosphere.\ Those, he said, are what people commonly call shooting stars. Menke said that at about 7:50 p.m. Friday there was a widely reported sighting along the East Coast of a lime-green fireball in the sky heading south to north. He said the meteorite could be the remnant of the fireball. The explanation was small con- solation to 18-year-old Michelle Knapp, who heard a crash around die time the sightings were reported. She went outside her house and found a hole in the trunk of her parked 1980 Chevrolet Malibu. The culprit meteor made a foot-deep crater in the driveway. \If it had fallen 10 feet away, no one probably would have noticed it, other than to say, 'Where did uiat rock come from?'\ Menke said. An estimated 5,000 meteors have ever been recovered and they range in size from 35 tons to small pebbles. Most, Menke said, were recovered from Antarctica, where the snow, and ice make the dark large rocks easy to spot. MONDAY'S LOTTERIES ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Here are the winning numbers chosen Mon- day in New York state: Daily Number: 5,0, 5; Win 4: 9,6,9, 3; Pick 10: 2, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 45, M, 53, 59, 60, 62, 63, 65,'69, 70, 71,72,73,74. CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Here are the winning numbers selected Monday in the daily New Hamp- shire, Vermont and Maine lot- ieries: Pick 3: 3, 3, 8; Pick 4: 1, 7, 1,8. about 100 of them, asked for the. removal of what they called degrading murals depicting \subservient\ Indians from me refurbished statue, or for the erec- tion of a tribute to Native Ameri- cans. \This is the birthplace of the Iroquois Nation, its heart There should be something here to com- memorate that, maybe a Native American education center,\ said Sullivan. Two parked school buses sepa- rated Native Americans from the crowd attending the Columbus statue unveiling. Despite enhanced security, there were no incidents. \Is there going to be violence? That's the stereotype of Native Americans presented in movies like 'Last of the Mohicans.' Everybody expects us to go on the warpath,\ said Sullivan. Several speakers at the unveiling defended the protesters' right to express their views, but all spoke of Columbus as a hero for under- taking a courageous journey sinio the unknown. • > \We're pleased to see mem there,\ said Richard Damiano, chairman of the restoration com- mittee. \This is a country of free- dom opportunity and freedom of expression.\ .Holly Sammons of Syracuse thought it was important that the three elementary school children she was baby-sitting near both sides of the story Monday. So she stopped by the Native American rally before heading to the unveiling. \It's a legitimate issue, and there's some truth to both sides. It's just pretty confusing where the truth does lie. But at least the children are hearing different things now. It's not what I heard in school.\ The Adirondack Dally Enterprise (USPS 006580) Published by Adirondack Publishing Co, Inc., SI Broadway Saranac take. New Yon 13M3. O. Olden Nulling.
