t.jifAr STtTTBE 1 Friday. September 15. 1989 Ppqghkeepslel Journal SCJ State Many rally against dump sites ALBANY (AP) Hundreds of protesters shouting "no dump" denv onstratcd Thursday outside a state hearing room where a commission was considering the latest list of proposed radioactive dump sites for New York state. Demonstrators presented the Low Level Radioactive Waste Siting Commission with "the first annual black skull award" and vowed they would not allow the dump to be built in their communities. Under the watchful eyes of several state Capitol Police officers, about 250 demonstrators repeatedly disrupted the hearing jeering, shouting and chanting while Commission Chairman Angelo Orazio and commission members tried to talk.

"This black armband means the mourning that all of our people are going through," said Patti Michael of Taylor, where two of the possible five sites are located. The other three sites are in Allegany County. "This red one means she yelled at the stonefaced panel members. "We're not taking it." Protesters said they gave the "black skull award" to the commission for "your outstanding efforts to screw New York state." Orazio accepted the protester's flourescent paper "award" without comment. "It's good to see they're interested," he said in an interview before the hearing.

Dr. Stanley Goldsmith, a commission member, said "The agitation is without basis in fact Anyone who has taken the time to look at the information knows there is no risk to the community economically or to the public health." Orazio said he held public officials who have fueled the fervor over the dump "morally liable for this kind of demonstration that you see today where somebody might get hurt." The commission chairman didn't name officials. The Associated Prts Cortland County resident Jean Weiss was one of hundreds attending a public meeting Thursday at theT Legislative Office Building, where the New York State Low Level Radioactive Siting Commission heard public opinion about five potential dump sites. All town officials and many state lawmakers representing the sited areas, including Assembly Minority Leader Garence Rappleyea and Allegany County state Assemblyman John Hasper, have publicly opposed the dump sites. Under federal law.

New York state must have a place to dispose of low level radioactive waste by 1993. The proposed dump has met with strong opposition across upstate New York. The commission voted unanimously to order its staff to begin trying to obtain access to the five possible sites, which will undergo soil, geologic and water tests. State law gives the commission a right to access to sites, although it will have to get a court order if landowners don't allow commission em Gambino associates get life sentences plus 20 NEW YORK (AP) Two men convicted of bein members of a murderous crew of the Gambino organized crime family were sentenced Thursday to life plus 20 years in prison. The defendants, Joseph Testa Jr.

and Anthony Senter, both 34, drew the life sentences for conspiring to deny the civil rights of at least two potential federal witnesses by participating in their killings. They were sentenced to an additional 20 years for racketeering, racketeering conspiracy and firearm and narcotics offenses. The men were convicted with seven others in June at the second trial stemming from a 1984 indictment that originally included charges against Paul Castellano, the former reputed Gambino boss who was gunned down in December 1985. Testimony at the 16 month trial included evidence that the crew had murdered scores of people, some of whom were dismembered and others whose bodies were never recovered. U.S.

District Judge Vincent Broderick said the crimes Testa was convicted of were "so horrendous and so inhumane and so unbelievable that the only sane course that I could see for sentencing was to make sure that as long as it could be possible, you will not be available to commit any more such crimes." Broderick also fined Testa and Senter $35,000. The prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Mack said Testa was the "righthand man" of the crew's reputed leader, Roy DeMeo, who authorities said operated the crew out of a Brooklyn apartment until he was killed by gang members in a power struggle in 1983. Mack said Senter was very close to Testa and was equally responsible for the crimes. "The Roy DeMeo crew is the most violent crew ever prosecuted in federal court, as far as my knowledge," Mack said.

He said DeMeo "engaged in wholesale murder." Testa's lawyer, Herold Fah ringer, and Benjamin Brafman, the attorney for Senter, both said their clients maintained their innocence and would appeal. Fifth suspect indicted in Bensonhurst attack NEW YORK (AP) A fifth suspect was indicted Thursday on murder and other charges for his alleged role in the racially motivated killing of a black teen ager by a gang of young white Brooklyn men. The 24 year old man, James Pa tino of 1633 69th was charged in a 19 count indictment handed up by a state grand jury with one count of second degree murder, one count of first degree manslaughter and several counts of riot, assault, unlawful Imprisonment, menacing, aggravated harassment, discrimination and criminal possession of a deadly weapon. Patino, who remained free on $75,000 bail, said nothing during his brief appearance before Criminal Cpurt Judge Seymour Gerschwer and walked quickly out of the court room with his lawyer. A short time later, a group of demonstrators, many of them students on lunch break from a high school next to the courthouse, pursued another of the Bensonhurst suspects and his lawyer as they left the courthouse, chanting and yelling as the pair climbed into a police car ahd sped away.

Several rocks were hurled, strik ing a police officer and a television reporter. No one was seriously hurt and there were no arrests, the police said. Patino was charged with murder because he exhibited "a depraved indifference to human life" and "recklessly engaged in conduct which created a grave risk of death," the indictment said. His lawyer, Abraham Jaros, disputed the charges, saying "It's difficult to understand how a young man, simply because he was present on the street, can be charged with murder." Two suspects who were arrested but have not been indicted in the Aug. 23 attack also appeared at Thursday's hearing.

Gerschwer warned the prosecutor. Assistant District Attorney Bruce Mclnjtyre, he would dismiss the cases against Charles Stressler, 21, and Steven Curreri, 18, if indictments were not returned by Oct. 16. The black victim, 16 year old Yu suf Hawkins, was shot to death on Aug. 23 when he and three' friends were surrounded by a gang of some 30' young white youths.

The black youths went to the primarily white Bensonhurst neighborhood to look at an advertised used car. ployees on their property voluntarily. Protesters promised to continue their strong opposition, vowing to use civil disobedience to prevent commission employees from conducting scientific studies of the five sites. Most of the protesters were from Cortland County where one high school allowed juniors and seniors to take the day off to attend the hearing. There also were people from Alle geny County and most of the areas that had previously been included on the list of potential sites.

Cindy Monaco, who was hired by Cortland County to oppose the dump, questioned the siting process, and disputed some of the technical data used to choose two sites there. Junior high students back in black WEST SENECA (AP) Administrators at the West Seneca Junior High School defended their controversial dress code, saying they were within their rights to ban black clothing to improve the school's educational climate. "It's our job to instill values," Principal Richard Caput! said Wednesday. "Values they get now will affect how they deal with problems later on: sex, drugs, alcohol, Satanism." On Tuesday, Caputi implemented a new dress code, keeping more than 60 seventh and eighth grade students from classes and sending many of them home for wearing black shirts and other dark attire sometimes associated with Satanism and heavy metal music. Some parents, angered that their children were kept from class, have threatened legal action, calling on the American Civil Liberties Union and their own attorneys.

The dress code was suspended Wednesday, pending a Board of Education investigation of its legality. But Caputi said West Seneca schools have had dress codes for years. "When it seems evident that some kinds of clothing seem to be an identification, an identification with unproductive values, you have to try to change that," Caputi said. "They always wore these shirts and formed a clique. Their performance is poor.

And they are not getting what they should from school. We're looking to bring them back to the general school population," he said. The state commissioner of education has both upheld and overturned "dress codes" on appeal, a spokesman said Wednesday. Schools may enact rules that affect student behavior, but the state does not have established guidelines for those codes, said spokesman Christopher Carpenter. Report states robbery suspect died from cocaine overdose NEW YORK (AP) The city's chief medical examiner and a pathologist hired by the family of a man who died in police custody agreed Tuesday that cocaine was what killed him, but differed on whether his fight with the police contributed to his death.

The city's report, prepared by Dr Charles S. Hirsch, concluded that Henry Hughes, 25, died of cocaine intoxication and that "physical injuries neither caused nor contributed to his death." But Dr. Stuart Dawson, a Suffolk County medical examiner who was hired by Hughes' family, while saying he had no "fundamental disagreement" with the city's report, added, "The police actions really do contribute to the guy's death." And Michael Warren, an attorney representing the suspect's family, soid the results of toxicology tests were released before they were fully complete due to political pressure. "Dr. Hirsch was forced to come up with something as quickly as possible, as a result of a call that was made by Ed Koch last Saturday," he said "Koch said he wanted a finding as quickly as possible." Dawson said Hughes' body "does not look like someone who's been beaten to death," but said he would have called the death "a cocaine intoxication combined with a psychotic agitation on the part of the victim, combined with a struggle with police officers and resistance efforts He said cocaine alone can cause disturbance of the heart rate as well as tremendous fright, which causes the release of adrenaline, which compounds the heart rate fluctuation, and that the struggle with police causes the heart rate to fluctuate further "The police actions really do contribute to the guy's death," Dawson said.

"What the police do is absolutely the worst thing they could do." Four of the eight police officers who subdued Hughes told investigators that they struggled eight or nine minutes against fierce resistance to handcuff the mugging suspect. He lost consciousness moments after being manacled and was pronounced dead by a passing Emergency Medical Services ambulance at 6 04 a m. The officers said they used nightsticks, feet and chemical Mace to subdue Hughes, who was thrashing and kicking. The report by the city medical examiner said Hughes' body bore bruises "consistent with causation by impacts with a nightstick" but added that there was no indication that a nightstick or other instrument was used to strangle Hughes. IGET call us hlh Vtol ln brief from Journal wire services Senator: Yank drug violators' drivers licenses ALBANY New Yorkers convicted on drug charges would have their drivers licenses suspended or revoked, under legislation proposed Thursday by a Republican state senator.

"If current criminal sanctions don't discourage drug users, perhaps loss of a drivers license or vehicle registration will," said state Sen. Frank Padavan of Queens. Padavan said his proposal came in response to President Bush's call for enactment of state laws that discourage drug use. A New Yorker convicted of a felony drug violation would have his license and registration suspended for one to two years, under the proposal. In misdemeanor cases, either the license or registration would be suspended for six months to a year.

President of HHC resigns, takes job in London NEW YORK Dr. Jo Ivey Bouf ford resigned Wednesday as president of the city's Health and Hospitals Corporation, according to a spokesman for the mayor. Ms. Boufford's resignation will be effective at the end of September, said the spokesman, Leland T. Jones.

He said Ms. Boufford has taken a post of visiting international lecturer with Kings Medical College in London. Ms. Boufford, 44, heads the largest municipal hospital system in the world. Cuomo officials report drug youth arrests increase ALBANY Drug related of New Yorkers under age 16 have increased by more than 29 percent from 1984 to 1988, mostly because of crack, Gov.

Mario Cuomo's criminal justice officials said Thursday. There were 2,651 drug arrests of those youths last year, up from 2,051 in 1984, the state Department of Criminal Justice Services said. Arrests for cocaine, herlon and other opiates rose dramatically, from 245 in 1984 to 1,876 last year. Criminal justice spokesman James. Flateau said the Increase was due to the widespread use of crack, a condensed and Inexpensive form of cocaine that has been easily obtainable by youngsters.
