THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2003 DemocratandChronicle.com DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE BURR LEWIS staff photographer Firefighters battle a house fire in Rochester on 1 Wednesday. A woman was rescued but was listed in guarded condition. Woman badly hurt in Rochester blaze JEFFREY BLACKWELL STAFF WRITER A Rochester woman pulled from a burning house on Bernard Street was in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital Wednesday night. Elma Newsome, 67, was rescued through the back window of her burning home. According to Rochester Fire Department spokesman Capt.

Dan McBride, the woman was not breathing when firefighters pulled her from the house. Newsome was resuscitated at the scene and transported to Rochester General Hospital then to the burn unit at Strong Memorial. McBride said she suffered smoke inhalation and burns. A fire department captain was injured in the rescue attempt. He was placed off-duty because of an injury to his elbow.

His Amendment FROM PAGE 1B grams may seen unavoidable to you. But the harm done will come home to roost later," said George Angle of the Children's Agenda, a local group. A theme that emerged throughout the public forum, which lasted almost three hours, was that the cuts in social services would have long-term effects that would be harmful to the community and costly to taxpayers. Rosemary Lum-Levine of the Monroe County Preventive Services Coalition, noted that a child in a program to prevent foster care placement costs about $2,100 a year, while foster care placement can cost as much as $84,000. Doyle's budget calls for a $2.5 million reduction in prevention services.

"We have already closed one program and many of our remaining preventive programs will not be able to sustain another budget cut," said Jody Todd Manly, clinical director of the Mt. Hope Family Center, which would face a $577,342 cut. Majority Leader Bill Smith, R- Pittsford, who disclosed the planned reduction in social services staff, said that the Republican amendment and the budget would be taken up for a vote by the middle of next week. The cuts, which would be in addition to those in the proposed budget, would be an alternative to Doyle's request to add sixth tenths of 1 percentage point to the sales tax rate. The resulting 8.85 percent sales tax would be the highest in the state.

Smith defended the amendment by saying that social services account for more than half of the county's budget. "We are trying to achieve some kind of balance here," he added. Criticism has also focused on how the Safety Net public assistance program would be funded under the Republican amendment. a About 90 percent of the $14 million that the county is projected to spend on the Safety Net next year would be paid for by the city, where most of those recipients reside. Towns would pay for the rest.

The reorganization of social services was supposed to be the centerpiece of Doyle's effort to close a $45 million to $65 million gap in the budget he introduced for 2003. And while Doyle recently claimed that the county saved $29.2 million of the $30.2 million promised by the reorganization, he has not been able to reduce Medicaid and public assistance caseloads, which were supposed to be a key component of the planned savings. Caseloads have instead gone up, and county workers say that part of the problem is that they are understaffed. The Republican amendment would make the situation worse. It would also cut an additional Anderson-Witkowicz, Eleanor (McBride) Died November 11, 2003.

"Rescue 11 deployed for a search and located the victim quickly." The fire broke out after 4 a.m. on the front porch of 222 Bernard St. in northeast Rochester. The call to 911 came at 4:17 a.m. and crews were on the scene a few minutes later.

Deputy Chief John Caufield said it took about 15 minutes to put out the blaze in the two-story home, which housed two families in separate apartments. A man from one of the apartments also was taken to the hospital with chest pains. Five people were left homeless by the fire, which destroyed the structure. The Red Cross is providing aid to the victims. a Includes reporting by staff photographer Burr Lewis.

$2 million for school nurses the city. The Doyle budget ready calls for cutting about million from this program the Republican amendment would effectively leave the program 1 without funds at the end this year. The program has about 40 nurses and 40 nurses' aides. Many of the speakers at the meeting of the legislature told the importance of these nurses to children in need. "Are you going to kick a child when he's already down?" said school nurse Julie Hutchinson.

"Please don't embarrass our city, our county." Doyle has said that cuts in social services were necessary because Democratic lawmakers would not support the sale of bonds for pension and early retirement costs. Democrats said Doyle was scapegoating. With Republicans holding a 16-to-13 advantage in the legislature, Smith would need the support of 15 of the 16 Republicans his caucus to ensure enactment of the Republican amendment. What's unknown is whether a bipartisan effort will emerge between Democrats and Republicans to offer an alternative. "I would think that both sides the aisle would come together around something that is less injurious to the community," said Legislator Kevin Murray, D- Rochester, who in the last couof days has had some preliminary discussions with several Republican lawmakers about working together.

Murray said that he expects some Democratic and Republican legislators to meet during next week to look "at what might be a way out of this." "I would hope that we can have those meetings within the next week and my confidence is high that we will. I hope that we come up with a package to be supported by enough Democrats and Republicans to be veproof," said Legislator Raymond Santirocco, R-Penfield. A year ago, when Doyle proposed about $40 million in cuts, coalition emerged that restored about $10 million and resulted in a 2.5 percent property increase that was passed by overriding Doyle's veto.
