Rahim Shabazz, 44, of the unit block of Mary Ella Drive, was arrested by New Castle County Police at his home, said Patrolman Vince Kowal, county police spokesman. Shabazz is a teacher's aide at Bayard Elementary School.

"The victim was not a student at the school but was a neighbor of the suspect," said Sgt. Richard C. Harkness, of the county police family service squad. "Our concern right now is that there may be more than one victim involved." Harkness said county police notified Christina School District officials but would not say what was discussed. The victim, who was not identified, and the suspect were friends, Harkness said.

County police said the boy told a counselor of the alleged rapes, and the counselor contacted them. Under Delaware law, a counselor who learns of molestation must contact authorities. "The parents noticed their son was dropping his grades and was shying away from family activities," Harkness said. "They sent him to get counseling and that's when the alleged molestations were discovered." Police said Shabazz was single and has no children. They were not sure if he is employed elsewhere.

Shabazz was arraigned Tuesday morning and committed to Gander Hill Prison in lieu of $240,000 bond. He collapsed during his arraignment and was taken to Christiana Hospital, where he was treated for hyperventilation, police said. July 1, establishes priorities on where trees can be removed and where they must be replaced. "We have lost trees at an alarming rate in Maryland because of development, but this law will make sure that every jurisdiction in Maryland has the tree cover needed for a healthy environment," Schaefer said. The jail bill authorizes the state to take over the jail on July 1, saving money for the city and allowing the state greater flexibility in administering correctional services in Baltimore.

The jail has been criticized for poor management and several escapes. Schaefer said the state takeover will also help speed a badly needed 800-bed expansion. A third bill signed Tuesday allows the state to charge a monthly supervision fee to offenders under the supervision of the state division of parole and probation. The fees will go to help pay increasing costs for the state's expanding criminal inmate population. They're expected to generate" $592,300 in fiscal year 1992, beginning July 1, and up to $8.4 million by fiscal year 1996.

Under the law, the fees can be waived for offenders who are handicapped, indigent, enrolled in school or who would suffer undue hardship. ing Johnson's departure. The Division of Child Protective Services had an acting director for 16 months before Johnson took the helm just under two years ago. Hayward said he wants a smooth transition this time. Johnson, who supervises a staff of 230 in Delaware, will oversee 1,000 workers in San Diego County.

She will assume similar duties but on a larger scale, han: dling programs for abused, dependent and neglected children as well as adoptions and foster care. In Delaware, the division direc tor earns $65,400 a year, Hayward said. Johnson would not say whether she is receiving a salary increase. She said she grew up in Vallejo, and misses the West Coast. San Diego County is a multicultural community, with a population about four times the size of Delaware's, Johnson said.

"Hopefully we'll be able to address some of the issues critical to Hispanic and African-American children," she said. Johnson said she wishes she could have helped Delaware accomplish more. The children's department here needs to better reach the children and families slipping through the cracks between state services, she said. Johnson, 48, has 15 years' experience in child welfare and human services management. By SARA-ELLEN AMSTER Staff reporter MILL CREEK Ivory L.

Johnson, director of the state's Division of Child Protective Services, said she delayed notifying the Delaware children's department of her decision to take a San Diego job to avoid becoming "a lame duck." Johnson will be deputy director of the Children's Services Bureau in San Diego County. She leaves Delaware's Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families on May 15. "I knew people would have to know I was leaving," Johnson said Tuesday. "I didn't want it to be something too premature. I certainly had no intention for it to take everyone by surprise." San Diego County's Department of Social Services announced Johnson's appointment in a press release dated March 21.

Johnson said she waited until mid-April to tell Delaware children's department Secretary Charles E. Hayward of her new role. She said Hayward "was aware San Diego and I were talking." "Some of your effectiveness is diminished when they know you're a lame duck," Johnson said. Hayward said he had hoped to name a successor before announc Associated Press ANNAPOLIS Gov. William 'Donald Schaefer Tuesday signed more than 200 bills passed by the 1991 General Assembly Tuesday, including a landmark measure to protect the state's dwindling forests.

One-way fare is $5 to Baltimore, $8 to Washington. Round trips to those cities are $9 and $14.50, respectively. Gov. William Donald Schaefer, who spoke at several stops on the so-called "Inspection Run," hailed the commuter line's opening as a reason for optimism about Maryland's business climate. Referring to the recession, Schaefer told 250 people at the Aberdeen station, "I'm tired of hearing about holding back.

The electric-powered engines pull cars going toward Baltimore, and push them returning to Perry-ville. "Pushing, we'll go about 90 miles an hour," Shreeve said. "Pulling, we will reach 110. But the trains are qualified for 125 miles an hour." Commuters who catch the train in Perryville will be in Aberdeen within nine minotes, he said.
