2 SUN, Friday, Jonuory 22, 1982 pi It I IK Tichnell gets death sentence i' THE EVENING Wet close to today forecast The moist and Icy weather expected to harass morning commuters failed to materialize today, but home-bound workers faced a stomach-wrenching combination of snow, freezing rain and sleet. Weather forecasters at Baltimore-Washington International Airport were predicting one to two inches of snow on top of yesterday's accumulation when a storm moves north and east from Tennessee and the western Carolinas late this afternoon. A meeting of warm air aloft and cold ground air should cause the precipitation to "turn to sleet could be freezing rain for hours," according to Don Marier of the National Weather Service. A full day of rain is expected tomorrow when temperatures will reach the 40s, but the forecast for Sunday through Tuesday is for fair and cold weather, with high temperatures in the 30s and lows dropping to the teens Monday night. Yesterday's storm, which dropped two to five inches of snow in the metropolitan Baltimore and Washington areas, caused a series of minor, accidents, a couple of large truck accidents and one highway fatality.

Charles M. Blackburn, 58, of Wheaton in Montgomery County died after his car skidded about 8:20 a.m. on Layhill Road in Wheaton and was struck by another car. 2 counties Eligible residents of Baltimore and Howard counties will start receiving free 5-pound blocks of cheese next week under schedules.announced yesterday by county officials. Baltimore County will begin distributing about 47,000 pounds of the cheese in Dundalk Tuesday at Merritt Point Elementary School, said Pat Shaney, of the Baltimore County Human Resources and Development Agency.

Three more distribution centers will open in Baltimore County Wednesday at the Garrison Fire Station on Kenmar Road in Owings Mills, the Lansdowne United Methodist By Wesley A girl on figure skates, buffered against the cold, scrambles past a hockey game, as children enjoy a weather holiday from school on the frozen pond in Woodlawn Cemetery.

Knott, the builder of the Lodge Forest housing development in Edgemere.

Judge Martin B. Greenfeld said yesterday he has postponed a hearing by the state Consumer Protection Division and the Real Estate Commission on complaints of Lodge Forest homebuyers until after the court suit is settled. The state hearing was to be held Feb. 3. Knott sued the state attorney general, claiming that a hearing before the two state agencies is unfair and denies him his constitutional rights of due process and trial by jury.

Homebuyers at Lodge Forest have complained they were hit with heavy water and sewer taxes one year after they bought their new homes, and that the builder and O'Conor and Flynn, the realtor, never told them of these charges. Knott claims the allegations are overblown and that the county made the mistake. The residents have been waiting since November 1979 to get a hearing on their complaints. Greenfeld said he will hear the merits of the Knott suit, and then tell the lawyers involved when he will rule on it, so a new hearing can be scheduled if appropriate. Black UM professor gets chair A University of Maryland professor has been named to a new faculty post at Amherst College in Amherst, created by an alumnus who gave $1 million to create the job with the stipulation the first person hired be black.

Amherst President Julian Gibbs said immunologist and chemistry professor Richard A. Goldsby will become the first recipient of the Cross Chair in Science in September. He will be a member of the biology department of the liberal arts school. After Theodore L. Cross donated $1 million to establish the chair, some faculty members attacked the stipulation as a violation of academic integrity and discriminatory.

Goldsby, 47, called his appointment "almost a noble gesture," though he said he prefers to be a model for students of all races. "It's been an historical fact that at a number of distinguished institutions in the Northeast, if a black with appropriate credentials had applied for the job, he or she simply would not have been hired, no matter what," Goldsby said in a telephone interview from College Park. He has been on the Maryland faculty since 1972. He previously taught at Yale University. Chalet fire claims 2nd victim A New Year's Day fire at a chalet near Oakland has claimed its second victim.

Robert Young Coster 40, of Baltimore, died Jan. 15 at the West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh. Patricia Ann Salvatore, 28, of Ocean City, died in the Jan. 1 fire at a rented chalet near Deep Creek Lake. Her husband, 33-year-old William Salvatore, was seriously burned in the incident.

State fire investigator Robert Shimer said the caused by an oil furnace malfunction. Arundel teachers to vote on pact Anne Arundel County teachers and school officials have reached a tentative agreement for a new contract that gives the county's 4,000 teachers a 6 percent increase next year. The two-year contract would add about $6 million to the $174.7 million school budget proposed by county school superintendent Edward J. Anderson. Salaries and fringe benefits would be open for negotiations next year.

Association members will vote on the contract in individual schools, and those votes will be tallied Feb. 10. Negotiators for the Teachers Association of Anne Arundel County and the county Board of Education reached the contract agreement this week. If teachers approve it, the education board will then vote on the contract. This spring teachers hope to get a one-time, 2 percent pay raise.

Using excess county revenues, County Executive Robert A. Pascal plans to present a bill to the County Council that would give teachers the increase as lump-sum payments by April. Last year, TAAAC negotiated an 8 percent salary hike, but the county only funded 5 percent. Teachers have been pushing for Pascal to give them the other 3 percent now. Frozen body in Washington County State Police are investigating the death of a 56-year-old Washington County man whose frozen body was found outside his home near Spielman Station Wednesday.

Sgt. Scott English said the body of John Francis Leary was found by a neighbor. He said Leary, who lived alone, apparently had been dead for several hours. The county medical examiner was scheduled to perform an autopsy on the body to determine the exact cause of death, but police said foul play was not suspected. Youth gets 10 years in YMCA arson A 17-year-old Baltimore youth has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for starting the June 24 fire that forced two dozen people to flee the downtown YMCA and severely damaged two floors.

Reginald Barksdale, of the 2700 block of Kennedy who had pleaded guilty to arson in connection with the early morning fire, was sentenced yesterday by Criminal Court Judge Joseph Pines. The fire was confined to the third and fourth floors of the building located at Franklin and Cathedral streets. It forced the evacuation of nearly two dozen youths, housed there as part of a halfway house for young offenders. The fire started in an empty third-floor lounge and spread to a fourth-floor classroom where 16 computer terminals were ruined. Barksdale, according to prosecutor David L.

Palmer, was angry at being sent to the program which restricted home visits. The building, which suffered $60,000 in damage, has since been sold to a private developer who plans to convert it to condominums. Outside judge asked in Trustee suit The former associate city solicitor who filed a taxpayers' suit against Mayor William D. Schaefer and the City Trustees wants the judges on the city's Supreme Bench to disqualify themselves from hearing the case. William Hughes, who is challenging the legality of the amount of power which the city has vested in the quasi-public Trustees for the City Loan and Guarantee Program, is asking that Robert C.

Murphy, chief judge of the Court of Appeals, appoint a judge from another judicial circuit to hear the case. In his motion, which was filed this week in Baltimore City Court, Hughes argues that city judges who are also taxpayers would have trouble trying a case in which the defendants are the highest ranking officials in city government. Hughes also said that a conflict would be present since the Board of Estimates is responsible for Supreme Bench funding for personnel and equipment. Johnson gets Harford school post Sue Ellen Johnson, a registered nurse, has been appointed to fill a six-month vacancy on the Harford County school board. The 34-year-old Abingdon resident was named by Gov.

Harry R.x Hughes to finish the term of Charles R. Boutin, who resigned Dec. 31 to run for county executive. Johnson is a graduate of the Barnes Hospital School of Nursing and University of Maryland. Democratic State Sen.

Arthur H. Helton submitted Johnson's name to the governor, along with John M. Pumphrey, an official at a Baltimore school for the disabled. "The governor thought both were exceptional candidates," said Constance Beims, the governor's appointments secretary. But she said Hughes selected Johnson last week because of her background in community affairs and the time she can devote to the job.

From staff and wire reports Richard D. Tichnell, the convicted killer of a Garrett County deputy sheriff, has been sentenced for a third time to die in the gas chamber. A Calvert County Circuit Court jury of four men and eight women handed down the death penalty yesterday after three days of testimony and 4Vfe hours of deliberation. The sentence will be automatically reviewed by the Maryland Court of Appeals, which rejected two previous death sentences on legal technicalities. Tichnell, 35, formerly of Fairmont, W.Va., was the first person to be sentenced to die in Maryland under the state's 1978 capital punishment statute.

He was convicted of first-degree murder in the Jan. 18, 1979, shooting of David G. Livengood, a Garrett County deputy sheriff, outside an Army-Navy surplus store in Oakland where the deputy had gone to answer a burglar alarm. In June 1980, the appellate court threw out the first death sentence because a judge's remark may have misled the defense lawyer into choosing a judge, not a jury, to decide the sentence. On the second death sentence, the Court of Appeals ruled that a judge deprived Tichnell of his right to attack prosecution witnesses by telling a jury to review trial transcripts instead of hearing live testimony.

Leftover cheese will be distributed starting at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 1 at the Carroll Building in the Howard County government complex in Ellicott City.

Maryland received more than a half-million pounds of cheese earlier this month as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's surplus giveaway program. 4th suspect surrenders The fourth suspect wanted in the Aug. 22 murder of a British antiques dealer has surrendered to police and was being held without bail today. Dwayne Moody, 22, of the 2300 block of W.

Lanvale turned himself in to homicide detectives yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his family and a lawyer. Police had been seeking Moody since Jan. 12 on a warrant charging him with homicide. Moody is accused of being a part of a four-man team that stalked visiting antiques dealer Phillip Rouse, 34, his girlfriend and a Baltimore resident they were visiting as they walked toward Bolton Hill from a downtown disco. Police, who originally believed Rouse and the others were the intended victims of two independent groups, now say the four worked together and Moody was the man on the bicycle.

Two men, Kenneth Johnson, 18, and Michael Saunders, 18, pleaded guilty to the killing and another, Michael Brown, 18, was convicted by a jury this month. Brown was sentenced to life imprisonment. "owning a handgun is a responsibility, a very serious responsibility. "Just because you have a gun, you cannot pull it and shoot at the drop of a hat." The Firearms Safety Research Institute began advertising for its first class at the beginning of the year. Within two weeks, 44 people had registered, including six couples.

Mostly out of curiosity, Bridge conducted an informal survey of his first customers, and found the results surprising: 29 of the 44 were women; six had been victims of crime, and almost all of them had known others who were victims; most, but not all, owned their own guns. The first registrants included a couple of doctors, nurses and teachers working in high-crime areas, and a number of businessmen. Like martial arts courses, the institute conducts a brief interview of applicants to screen out anyone who may not be psychologically suitable. So far, the institute has turned away only one woman, and that only because she was not strong enough to pull the trigger. It was suggested the woman do a number of wrist-strengthening exercises, and come back in 30 days.

Annapolis police this week arrested a woman they describe as "a large supplier of marijuana and cocaine in the Annapolis area." Kim D. Cadell, 24, of Silverwood Circle in Eastport, who identified herself as a cosmetology student, was arrested Monday and charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of paraphernalia, and maintaining a A push for smoke alarms 1 L.

to 3 p.m. Those who wish to receive the cheese must show identification such as medical assistance, food stamp, or unemployment cards. The amount of cheese each recipient gets will depend on the size of his or her family. According to there is enough cheese for everyone who needs it. In Howard County, the Community Action Council, a private group, will distribute 750 blocks of cheese on Saturday, Jan.

20, between 9:30 a.m. paraphernalia, including scales, sifters, cutting agents and business records. "It's one of the larger busts we've made in the last 18 months," Hall said. The vice and narcotics unit was formed only 18 months ago. Monday night's arrest followed a one-month investigation by county and state police.

Schoadin eased in city Continued from Page 1 Another 20 teachers holding non-teaching "diagnostic and prescriptive services" jobs will be reassigned to fill classroom vacancies. That change will eliminate almost one-third of the diagnostic jobs, Crew said, but their duties can be absorbed by the remaining staff. The net savings in salaries and substitute fees will reduce the projected personnel deficit this year by about $500,000, Richardson said. There will be no teacher layoffs. situations and asking if they would be justified in shooting.

For instance, in one, a homeowner is awakened late at night by a loud crash on the first floor. He takes his gun and goes to the top of the stairs in time to see a man running out the front door, with his television cra-deled under an arm. The homeowner shouts, 'Stop or I'll but the man keeps running. Should the homeowner shoot? "Definitely not," insisted Bridge. "We say never shoot somebody for a property crime.

Property can be replaced, a human life cannot." In another situation, a man and his wife are walking down a street late at night, when they are surrounded by six "street toughs." The bullies spit on the man and insult his wife. Should the man pull his gun? "The man," Bridge said firmly, "should turn around and go back the way he came. "Now if they surround him and refuse to let him pass, he may be justified in pulling his gun. But if they see the gun and run, he would not be justified in shooting them in the back. The threat to him is over.

"As you can see," he continued. At a rally today at War Memorial Plaza, the city Fire Department launches a weekend drive to put smoke detectors into city homes The rally and subsequent activities follow a rash of fires that have taken 17 lives so far this year. Fire Chief Peter J. O'Connor and Mayor William D. Schaefer will speak at War Memorial Plaza as fire stations around the city sound their sirens at noon.

The two men then will tour city neighborhoods, handing out free smoke detectors to every family dis Church at 114 La Verne and the Banneker Community Building at Main and Wesley avenues in Catonsville. The following day, cheese will be given out in Essex at the Sharp Street United Methodist Church in the 1100 block of Eastern Blvd. and at the Department of Social Services office in the 400 block of Eastern Ave. On Friday, the cheese blocks will be given away from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.

at St. Luke's Catholic Church in the 7100 block of North Point Road. The Tuesday, Wednesday and common nuisance. She was released on $10,000 bail. Sgt.

Russell Hall, commander of the city police department's vice and narcotics unit, said police seized a little less than two ounces of cocaine and 5Vz pounds of marijuana. They had a potential street value of $12,600, Hall said. He said a "large" amount of money was seized, as well as drug playing a sign from their home reading, "Our family needs a smoke detector." The smoke alarms are being provided by area banks and the broadcast media. For families who already have smoke detectors, the city will provide prizes if they display a sign reading, "My family has a smoke detectorhas yours?" The smoke detector giveaway will continue until noon Sunday. City clergymen are being asked to ring their church bells at noon Sunday and pause to remember the 17 people who have lost their lives in fires.

"We stress three things here," he said, "safety, restraint, and circumstance. Ours is a total concept of handgun safety." "Safety," Bridge said, means learning how to store guns in the household, how to handle them, where and when to point them and where" and when not to point them. "We will not have any of our students putting a loaded gun to their heads to prove it's not loaded," Bridge asserted. "The one thing we drill again and again, is that guns are not a toy." ForBridge, restraint and circumstance mean teaching his students when, under the law, they are allowed to fire a weapon at another person. Not surprisingly, since each of the 12 instructors at the institute is a state trooper, the guidelines taught are very similar to those of police officers.

"In a nutshell, we tell them never to fire unless it is a life-threatening situation," Bridge said. "In fact, we tell them never even to pull your weapon unless it is a life-threatening situation." At the beginning of the course, the instructors will give students a brief examination. "Presenting a number of Citizens trigger handgun-use school Continued from Page 1 Last year, citizens registered for guns at the estimated rate of 100 a day, compared with 80 a day in 1980. During the same period, police in the Baltimore area have noted a puzzling increase in murders occurring during robberies and burglaries. "It's unfortunate that today, robbers are not saying, 'Your money or your but, 'Your money and your said Bridge.

"I think a lot of people who wouldn't think about using a gun normally, are beginning to feel they need protection." Unfortunately, he added, those same people are not being taught the proper use of handguns, so their weapon is doing more harm than good. "It's a very strange thing, that a man who wants a license to hunt squirrels and deer has to pass a safety course. But a man who wants a license for a handgun that may be used to shoot a human being doesn't. It flies in the face of rationality," Bridge said. He believes a handgun safety course such as the one he is offering should become mandatory for a hand-piin, license.
