2C Pensacola News Journal Monday, September 19, 1994 LOCAL ton the Record Parking buses at subject of council home review 1 By Angie Basiouny News Journal Pensacola school bus drivers could find it harder to take their work home with them under a proposal that would strictly regulate overnight parking of the vehicles at the drivers' residences. The Community Economic Development Committee of the Pensacola City Council today will review the practice of parking buses in city residential districts. The proposal, made by the city's Planning Board, suggests that school buses be added to an amendment detailing how recreational vehicles can be parked in front of homes. The amendment allows RVs to stand in a carport, garage or driveway unrestricted. But an RV parked in a back yard can't come within three feet of rear Highway.

The center also accepts blood donations at its offices at 2201 N. Ninth Pensacola, from 9 am to 7:30 pm Monday, noon to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 9 am. to 1 p.m. Friday.

The union and school administration can't agree on faculty raises, so the union has declared an impasse.

Ron McCuiston, PJC Faculty Association communications chairman and a math professor at the college, said the union has asked for an average 10.7 percent raise. That figure would bring the PJC faculty into the top 20 percent of community college pay in Florida, a goal of both PJC and the union. Administrators say withholding the raises is a matter of money. "There's no money," said Larry Bracken, director of college advancement. "The bulk of our budget comes from two sources legislative appropriations and student tuition." This year, the school had little increase in legislative money, most of which was already earmarked for certain programs.

All salary increases must come from the general operations budget, which also did not receive more funding this year, Bracken said. Student tuition did not rise, and the college got less state funding because the same amount of students are taking fewer hours. "I think the administration and the board of trustees are committed to raising the faculty salaries as high as possible and as quickly as possible," Bracken said. "They haven't abandoned their commitment, but education is not a priority issue with the Legislature this year." The college is offering raises to only 42 of 254 people that McCuiston's union represents. The union includes faculty, counselors and librarians.

Those 42 would receive raises only because they received promotions, Bracken said. Because of the impasse, the Public Employee Relations Commission will automatically submit a list of special masters, who mediate disputes. The union and administration will agree on a special master to assist in the negotiations. The college board of trustees will remain the final authority on whether raises are granted. Under the administration's proposal, 24 faculty members would divide about $24,000 in raises for promotions.

Another 18 faculty members would get $600 each in raises because they were promoted last year without raises. FROM1C Reports of sightings have continued, national and world media focus on the Gulf Breeze UFO connection, and UFO organizations have held meetings and sym posia here. The local sightings will be part of the full schedule of UFO-related topics on the agenda of a three-day conference next month sponsored by Project Awareness. People from Norway, England and 21 are already registered, with 650 expected to attend, Lyons said. The Bakers may not be able to attend the conference because of work schedules, but they will never forget their experience.

The couple was on Fairfield Drive near Palafox Street when Carol Baker suddenly called for Ken Baker to look at something in the sky. "I looked to my right and over the top of this red house is a ball of Ken Baker said. "The house is close to the street and I estimate this ball was about 50 feet from us and about the same distance in the air over the house." Caught in traffic, the Bakers The district's response was negative, noting that security of the bus improves while driver hours and miles on the vehicle decrease when the buses are parked at the driver's residence overnight. The district also objects to the inclusion of buses in the recreational vehicle amendment for the same reasons. "Excluding Escambia County registered vehicles from the amendment would be in the best interest of the School Bus Transportation Department," David Epperson, the district's assistant superintendent of transportation, maintenance and facilities, wrote in a letter to the city.

Five Flap Speedway. It was about midnight and they had passed through Gulf Breeze when one of the girls saw something in the sky. "I looked up and there was this thing coming down out of the sky," Milligan said. "It was luminous, sort of triangular, with a kind of hazy cloud around it We turned into Villa Venyce to see if we could see it again.

My daughter saw it briefly and then it disappeared behind the trees. "This was the first time I had ever seen anything that was so close you knew it wasn't an airplane or a balloon or a helicopter," Milligan said. "It was strange and I have no answers. "The whole incident was over in a few seconds and I'm not going to become overly involved in UFO research. But it would be interesting to read or hear about what other people have seen for comparison." Although Lyons said 90 to 95 percent of UFO sightings can be explained, it's the 5 to 10 percent that defy explanation that organizations like Project Awareness are interested in studying.

The impact on former Army crew chief John Milligan of Gulf Breeze hasn't been quite so intense, although the object he saw in the sky wasn't like any aircraft he had ever seen in his years in aviation. On Aug. 27, Milligan was driving his daughter Heather, 11, and a friend home from the auto races at them at his home while he went out to help evacuate others.
