DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, METRO BRIEFING funding OK'd Rochester City Council last night funding for a program to purchase guns owned by residents, offering $30 for each handgun and $15 for rifles and shotguns. The program, unanimously approved during a regular council meeting, is seen as the first step in an effort to reduce violence in the city, said Councilman Gary Muldoon, a proponent of a December 1991 gun-purchase pilot program. The pilot program netted 266 working handguns and 72 rifles and shotguns. The new program will run through Jan. 29, but could be extended another two weeks.

Officials will release the list of drop-off sites soon. When the program is over, a general "gun amnesty" program will be in effect, with secure drop boxes installed at various locations around the city. No money will be paid for guns turned in at the boxes. The purchase program will be funded with $20,000 in federal funds money seized by police during drug arrests and other criminal activities. Man held in series of area burglaries A man lodging at a Brighton motel is being held in the Monroe County Jail on charges he burglarized or tried to break into 10 homes in Brighton and Rochester, Brighton police said yesterday.

Charles Thousand, who police said had been at the Travelers Motel, 2100 Monroe was charged with four counts of seconddegree burglary, two counts of attempted second-degree burglary, one count of third -degree grand larceny, two counts of fourth-degree grand larceny and one count of petit larceny, according to Capt. Thomas Voelkl. The burglaries and attempted burglaries took place from Dec. 9 to Jan. 8, Voelkl said.

Thousand was arraigned by Brighton Town Justice James Morris and ordered jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail. Police said that they recovered approximately $20,000 in property stolen in the burglaries. The burglaries occurred on Highland Avenue in both Brighton and Rochester, Culver Road and Harvard Street in Rochester. Gantt is appointed to two state panels Assemblyman David F.

City woman charged with attempted arson Toni Coleman, 30, of 314 Sherwood Ave. was arrested yesterday and charged with second-degree attempted arson for an incident last week in which someone threw two incendiary devices at a Glide Street house. Eric Larson, an investigator with the city's arson task force, said the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute.

Two bottles containing a flammable substance were thrown into 431 Glide Ave. about midnight Jan. 7, Larson said. The bottles failed to ignite and were discovered by a resident of the house the next day, he said. Oratorical contest winners travel to D.C.

They siphoned gas for a moped from blue Toyota parked behind a supermarket.

Wilson, driving a Cadillac, pulled up close to a newspaper rack, bought a paper and was reading it when the three saw him. "Let's go rob that guy," one said. Kohut and Rourk, both armed, jumped into the back seat of Wilson's car. "Shut up and drive," one ordered. He did.

They kept guns on him for about 15 miles, until they reached wooded, remote Fort Lonesome. ROCHESTER, N. Rochester 'supertoters' happy with curbside program IRS TRASHES 'TAX' 8B By Stephen Lowe Staff writer A recent poll has found that 93 percent of Rochester residents are happy with the new "supertoter" trash cans. Only 2 percent were dissatisfied. "We're certainly pleased with the fact people are pleased," said Edward Doherty, city commissioner of environmental services.

The city of Rochester last year distributed about 68,000 of the supertoters 90-gallon trash containers on wheels. The curbside program ended backyard trash pickup for most people and sparked some opposition. The city-commissioned poll, conducted last month by The Winters Group, found that 93 percent of city residents surveyed were either "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the supertoters and their refuse service. The level of satisfaction varied little by location, age or gender. Doherty added that the new garbage collection program cost almost $1.1 million less than originally expected.

The city spent about $7.2 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1993 poll finds are a hit million on supertoters and new trucks. And the estimated longterm savings from the program increased by $1.8 million. Over the next 10 years, the net savings are expected to be $9 million due to lower labor costs, Doherty said. With the supertoters, only one person instead of two is needed on a garbage truck. The poll also found: 96 percent agreed with a statement that the new containers were easy to use.

184 percent agreed their neighborhoods have been neater since the supertoters were introduced. 092 percent agreed the supertoters made trash disposal easier. People who were unhappy with the program complained that the containers were too small or too big, that the supertoters had to be wheeled to the curb or that they were difficult to use in the snow. The city allows exemptions for people who may have problems moving the large containers. About 1,100 people, such as the disabled and elderly, have exemptions.

Doherty said the city commissioned the poll to see if any changes needed to be made in the program. No major changes are needed, he said. The survey of 408 households cost $8,000. Presbyterian church leader criticizes policy on gays Speech urging change draws 200 By Stephanie A. Reid Staff writer The leader of the nation's 2.8 million Presbyterians last night predicted the success of a mounting effort nationwide to change the denomination's policy regarding homosexuals, which bars them from being ordained and leading churches.

"I think that the possibility of that change being approved by the upcoming General Assembly is very good," the Rev. John Fife said, drawing applause from an audience of about 200 hundred at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 N. Fitzhugh St. "It will be an extremely close vote. To accomplish that is going to take hard work," he said.

He plans to bear witness as moderator of the General Assembly, the Louisville, denomination's governing body, to the need for change in his talks with churches, presbyteries and church leaders around the nation. Fife warned that others will fight efforts to change the policy and called the decision not to hire lesbian minister the Rev. Jane Adam Spahr as pastor of DUPC the "de- Huntley likened to speeding bullet HUNTLEY from page 1B "When Shirley Huntley turned that car around and headed back the wrong way into the crowd of people that were going southbound on 390, the bullet had been fired," Green told jurors. "Like a bullet, Shirley Huntley wasn't about to stop until she hit someone or something. And she left a trail of near disaster in her wake.

And like a bullet, she didn't move at all, but continued to race blindly ahead. Cynthia Halstead's only fault was being in the path of Shirley Huntley." Fiandach pointed out several discrepancies in the testimony and told jurors there was reasonable doubt about Huntley's guilt. He questioned why state police did not give Huntley standard sobriety tests when she was arrested for DWI. A trooper said he had to offer his hand to her to help her walk, and that her breath smelled of alcohol. And Fiandach also noted that numerous witnesses including the nurse who drew her blood testified Huntley seemed normal Pellett, who had followed, was ordered to stay with the Chevrolet Blazer.

Rourk, Kohut and Wilson went around a bend in the Cadillac. Soon, one man, who wasn't identified, came back for the gasoline and took it around the bend. A few minutes later, Kohut and Rourk came running back. Wilson has been unable to pick his alleged attackers from police photographs, Onheiser said. He said Wilson suffers a lot of pain, which has prevented authorities from conducting any substantial interviews.

The Permanent Judicial Commission, denomination's "supreme court" erred when it ruled in November that DUPC couldn't hire Spahr, he added in his remarks.

The commission based its decision on a 1978 denomination policy barring gays and lesbians from being ordained and leading churches. The controversial ruling 1 has churches and presbyteries around the country preparing to ask the General Assembly to recind the policy when it meets in June in Orlando, Fla. DUPC supports those efforts and plans to send its own letter of protest. The 750-member church also has begun a special mission project, "That All May Freely Serve" to support Spahr's plans to educate Presbyterians nationwide about how the 1978 law can be rescinded. The project will support Spahr's work, but she will not be an employee of DUPC.

The project's goal is to raise $35,000. If the effort to change the law is successful, congregations and presbyteries will have the authority to decide who should be ordained as pastors, deacons and elders, Fife said. and didn't appear drunk. Green warned jurors not to think that a murder charge must deal with someone's intentional death. For a murder conviction, jurors must find Huntley acted recklessly with depraved indifference to human life.

If convicted of murder, Huntley faces a maximum 25 years to life in prison. If acquitted, the jury may convict her of second-degree manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of five to 15 years in prison, or criminally negligent homicide, which carries a maximum penalty of to four years in prison, and a minimum penalty of probation without jail time. 0 Death Notices Within Monroe County INDICATES THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF A PAID NOTICE IN THIS NEWSPAPER.
