1 1 B-4 The Orlando Sentinel, Tuesday, February 27, 1990 Casselberry officer slapped by granny gets another slap By Mary Shanklin The reprimand is the only punishment the town's civil service rules allow under such circumstances, Mayor Andrea Den-nison said. If it happens again, Rick will receive a written reprimand. But the punishment seemed slight to Kramer, who is scheduled to appear in court today on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing justice. "It could have been a little more drastic," the great-great-grandmother said. "He should be made to apologize to me." The apology would be for using the word," as Kramer describes it, when Rick was questioning her grandson on Feb.

13 about some missing road materials. A City Hall memorandum dated Feb. 16 states that Rick used the expletive. Kramer said she "poked" Rick in the shoulder for using the vulgarity, and he arrested her for obstructing justice. While Kramer may want an apology, all she is getting for now is a court date.

She said her attorney will enter a plea of not guilty in court today. "I think I'm right and I'm going to stick with it," she said. Dennison said Monday that Kramer was right to be angered by Rick's use of profanity. But, she said, Kramer was wrong to physically confront the officer. "My concern as an administrator is whether anyone feels they can hit an officer if they disagree with his opinion," Dennison said.

She said Kramer should have filed a formal complaint against the officer. Kramer said the word" was not the only foul language to come out of Rick's mouth. She said that when she was being questioned by him, Rick also called her a name. But Dennison said the city investigation into Rick's conduct found that he did not direct any vulgar expressions toward Kramer. "Ha, I knew he would say that because it was only me and him there," Kramer said in an interview later.

Kramer, whose late husband was a New York City police officer, said she planned to fight to clear herself, even if it means a jury trial. The matriarch said she was not interested in seeking damages, only jus-tice. OF THE SENTINEL STAFF CASSELBERRY A police officer who arrested a granny after she slapped his shoulder received another slap Monday, this tirhe on the wrist. Officer James Rick received a verbal reprimand from Police Chief Frederick McGowan for cursing in front of 84-year-old Meta Kramer, who showed her offense at the foul language, city officials said. 2 Live Crew offers 'adults only' labe Group wants record industry to adopt movie-style ratings By Buddy Nevins 7 bums and put out a clean version of its songs, he said.

"The governor doesn't have a clue. He picked on the wrong people," said Campbell, during a press conference at his Liberty City record warehouse. Campbell, whose stage name is Luke Skyywalker, said he would back an industry-policed rating system for records such as the one now in effect for movies. Campbell said he had hired Bruce Rogow, a Nova Law School professor and constitutional law specialist. "Our First Amendment is in danger," said Campbell.

"They have an absolute right to say or sing what they want," said Rogow. "Still, they are doing everything they can to limit the distribution, which is obviously to their economic detriment. But they have a social conscience." Campbell said the group, which had two previous sexually explict gold albums, would continue to re cord in clean and dirty versions. sl a-; 1 FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS AND SUN-SENTINEL MIAMI The rap group 2 Live Crew, under investigation for distributing records which some people believe are obscene, has offered to place an adults-only warning on its albums. The group will place a sticker on its records that reads: "Warning Explicit Language Contained, Parental Discretion Advised, 18 Older Only." The record covers already state the material is sexually explict.

News of the new move to head off anti-pornography activists came in a letter sent to Florida record stores last week and was made public on Monday. The four-member group already puts out clean and dirty versions of its current album on Skyywalker Records. The dirty version, "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" has sold 1.3 million copies in four months.

Campbell 200,000 "As Clean As They Wanna Be" discs have been sold. "That tells you what people want. People want the version," said Luther R. Campbell, owner of Skyywalker Records and a member of 2 Live Crew. Gov.

Bob Martinez asked the state prosecutor last week to determine whether the group and record company violated state obscenity and racketeering laws by distributing the album. Campbell said the group's material, which graphically depicts sex, was no worse than records put out by comedian Eddie Murphy or other music groups. However, 2 Live Crew is the only group to place warning stickers on its al 1 liflil-ifll JLtM Judge in shooting case target of protest UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FLORIDA Getting ready for the big one ASSOCIATED PRESS Workers install one of several Subway trains will take riders The fake quake will measure 8.3 subway cars recently at Univer- under a mockup of San Francis- on the Richter scale.

T.D. Brown. CARLINI PRISON TAMPA A group of young vigilantes picketed the home of a judge who allowed the early release of a teen-age drug dealer who shot and paralyzed a 1-year-old boy. About 25 members of the Guardian Angels took part in the protest Sunday outside Hillsborough Circuit Judge M. William Graybill's home.

The group distributed fliers criticizing the judge's handling of the Sedrick McKinney case. In May 1989, Graybill sentenced McKinney, 17, to four years in a youthful offender center for attempted manslaughter. Prosecutors sought a 17-year prison sentence after McKinney shot Sebastian Placker in December 1988 From B-1 From B-1 NEW YORK New York Times heiress IPHIGENE OCHS SULZBERGER, whose spunk and adventurous spirit charmed royalty and enamored presidents, died Monday. She was 97. Nancy Finn, assistant to Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Mrs.

Sulzberger's son and publisher of The Times, said Mrs. Sulzberger died of natural causes at her home in Stamford, Conn. Mrs. Sulzberger's role as a trustee of the family fortune and as the daughter, wife, mother-in-law and mother of Times publishers' brought her power and prominence. Angela Carlini also had been charged in the marijuana smuggling case with her son, but those charges against her were dropped when Roberto agreed to plead guilty in that case.

She faced a sentence of 10 years to life. Her attorneys asked Faw-sett for a lenient sentence because she had cooperated with police, but Assistant U.S Attorney Cynthia Hawkins said the woman had not cooperated fully and had not would have been "a very good economic move for the city of Leesburg" because it would have provided hundreds of jobs starting at $26,000 annually- However, Lovell said, Leesburg and Lake County still could profit if the prison is built in Sumter County. "Even if you're not coming to Lake County, you're "coming to Sumter County perhaps; and I think both counties would benefit" from the economic boom the prison would bring, Lovell told Sledge. Lake County Commissioner C.W. "Chick" Gregg strongly supported the proposed federal prison and said he is disappointed that Lake County won't get it.

"I really liked the State Road 470 site because even if it went across the Lake County line into Sumter, Lake County would still have a lot of people employed there," Gregg said. while the baby was strapped in a child seat in the back of a car. The shooting occurred while a 30-year-old baby sitter was in a housing center to buy crack cocaine. McKinney was released in January after serving seven months because of credit for time in the county jail and gain-time, a program that reduces sentences for some inmates. "He turned loose a crack dealer, a child-shooter," said George Moore, chapter leader of the Guardian Angels.

The Poitras property would be given to an organization, such as the non-profit Florida Nature Conservancy, which would manage and hold the land until it could be bought for preservation. Officials of several state and federal agencies, including the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Environmental Regulation, are reviewing the airport's application for a runway expansion. A decision on whether to issue permits to fill wetlands is due in early spring.

A recent study estimated that delays in landings and takeoffs would cause the airport to lose $88 million in wasted fuel and man-hours by 1995 if the fourth runway is not built. The airport authority is proposing to: Buy land around Mud Lake, just south of the planned runway and part of a larger wetlands system. Wyckoff would not discuss the size or cost of this purchase.

Buy 1,000 acres of land just west of the runway in Boggy for this piece of property Poitras is an island in a sea of development," Lee said. "We now have a chance to save a significant area."

In the 1950s, as racial unrest tormented the country, Brechner moved to head it off in Orlando. He went to Mayor Bob Carr and warned: "Not only is the situation in the black community unfair and dishonest, it is going to explode in our faces unless we do something about it and soon." Carr heeded hte words and in 1956 formed the city's first Human Relations Committee, which worked to improve interracial relations.
