B2 TIMES-ADVOCATE, Escondido, Wednesday. June 29, 1983 Trial Continued from page B1 When she returned to the bedroom, she opened the dresser drawer and pulled out Duncans loaded .357 Magnum pistol. She pointed the gun at Duncans head, closed her eyes, and squeezed the trigger. Then she ran to the neighbors. Kevin Shortt, the manager of the Hillcrest Apartments on Hill Drive, tes- tifed Tuesday that she was awakened by the sound of someone frantically ringing her doorbell.

When Mrs. Shortt finally opened the door, she testified she saw Miss Flowers with the gun held at her side, trembling and shaking. When I asked hr what she wanted, she said Please let me in. I shot him. I think I killed him.

Who?" I said. Ricky. If I didnt get him, he was going to get me, she said." Mrs. Shortt called the sheriffs department immediately, while her husband took the gun from Miss Flowers. Flowers was released three days after her arrest with no charges filed against her.

She was allowed to return to Mississippi. However, three weeks later she voluntarily returned to the Vista courthouse where she was offcially charged with voluntary manslaughter. Throughout the legal proceedings against Miss Flowers, there has been controversy as to whether the district attorneys office would prosecute the case. Bombing Continued from page B1 a Glendale parking lot the morning of May 23. Police said one of three pipe bombs placed under his seat went off when he turned the ignition switch.

Neeld was in Glendale on business. According to court documents, Glendale detectives believe the two men went to Glendale after learning of Neelds trip. Police believe Stubblefield waited nearby while Casteel wired the bombs under Neelds seat. Perkins this morning verified the statements in the court documents, but declined further comment. A preliminary hearing for Stubblefield is scheduled July 11, according to Los Angeles County Assistant District Attorney Lael Rubin, who is handling the case.

She said Casteel and Stubblefield would be tried together if San Diego County agrees to turn him over to the Los Angeles courts within the next few days. Jury: Porsche unsafe for normal driving Freshs family also sued Files, who survived the crash, but the jury held she was not responsible for any damages. The car was owned by Files husband. McClellan produced evidence that Porsche knew the cars handling characteristics were dangerous and it had a tendency to oversteer. During the trial, McClellan received an internal memo from an anonymous source at Porsche headquarters in West Germany.

McClellan said the anonymous report showed Porsche had made changes in a report it submitted for the trial, that the word poisonous was changed to normal and oversteer to understeer. SAN DIEGO (AP) Agreeing that Porsches top-of-the-line Turbo 930 model is dangerous for normal street driving, a San Diego Superior Court jury has awarded $2.5 million to the family of a man killed while driving one of the luxury sports cars. The jury voted 10-2 in finding the car unsafe for normal street use and that Porsche should have warned drivers about the dangers of the cars. The verdict, returned Monday, followed a four-month trial in the death of Donald Fresh, an executive who was killed in 1980 while riding in a car driven by a co-worker. Freshs widow and two children sued Porsche and Porsche-Audi, claiming the powerful car was unsafe for the average driver, that the car manufacturer should provide a warning about the cars power and that the brakes were defective.

The jury also voted 11-1 in finding the brakes defective. Fresh, an executive with SAI a scientific and technological consulting company, died when the Turbo 930 spun into oncoming traffic. Cynthia Files, another SAI executive, was driving the car 60 mph in a 25-mph zone on Prospect Street in La Jolla when she lost control of the car, according to Craig McClellan, attorney for Freshs widow, Martha Garrison. Heart Continued from page B1 ed together to raise the $10,000 front money requested by the St. Lukes Hospital for the $50,000 operation.

About $7,500 has been raised. Silverwood has received support from people hes never known, and he emphasizes his gratitude every chance he gets. But the waiting and uncertainty that go with the heart transplant have taken their toll on the 49-year-old Vista resident. "This place is hell down here," Silver-wood said. Once I leave Houston, I aint never coming back.

Silverwood said he deplores the Texas city because everythings so darned expensive, and you have to travel five or 10 miles just to get someplace. I cant even get a check cashed here. Silverwood said he finds Houston an unfriendly city, perhaps because hes from California. This is the hardest part, Silverwood said. Silverwoods wife, Billie, who has been receiving morale and financial support form her Avon co-workers, said that despite Silverwoods current depression, her husband will stay in Houston and have the operation.

He goes through these cycles, Mrs. Silverwood said. He goes through these moods. Meanwhile, it has been announced that proceeds from the seventh annual Blue-grass Jamboree this weekend at Brengle Terrace Park will go to the Harold Silver-wood Fund. The fund was set up in March by Oceanside resident Helen Marinello to pay for Silverwoods heart transplant.

The Bluegrass Jamboree, part of the citys Independence Day weekend celebration, will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Monday.

We certainly dont have any intent of going around and checking on these every six months, Coopersmith said. Coopersmith noted a distinction between guest homes, which are already permitted on single-family lots, and granny flats, which are not. Unlike guest homes, granny flats contain kitchens and are allowed to have electrical meters separate from the main house. The ordinance would also exclude granny flats from planned residential developments such as Escondido Hills, where the developer was allowed to subdivide into smaller lots than normally allowed under the citys zoning codes. We want to disrupt single-family neighborhoods as little as possible, Coopersmith said.

We dont want twice as many cars on the street, twice as many people in the neighborhoods, and buildings that have no architectural compatibility. Under a state law passed in September 1982, all cities and counties in California are required to pass ordinances regulating the construction of granny flats. Although the ordinances are supposed to be enacted by July 1, the municipalities have until 120 days after the first application for a granny-flat building permit to get new laws on the books. The city of Vista passed an ordinance earlier this month outlawing the construction of any granny flats in their city. In adopting their exclusionary code, Vista council members turned to a section of the state law that allows an exemption if a city can show that the flats would be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community.

Granny Continued from page B1 tions, including setback requirements. Require that either the main home or granny flat be occupied by the owner of the property. In an effort assure that the last condition is not violated in the future, the city will notify all property owners within 300 feet of a potential future granny flat site that the project is pending. Coopersmith told the commission that watchful neighbors coupled with deed restrictions setting forth the occupancy limitations would ensure ongoing compliance with the city code. Sail Continued from page B1 Jolla.

The vessel had been used from November 1979 through February 1980 to transport about one ton of marijuana, then used for smuggling another two tons of the drug between December 1980 and February 1981, according to court records. The Ransom was forfeited to the federal government because, not surprisingly, no one showed up in court to claim her. It was appraised at $30,000, even in her condition. She has no engine and a leaking hull. WE MEET AI1Y ADVERTISED PRICE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY PRESENT COMPETITORS CURRENT AD Palomar Continued from page B1 The tentative budget adopted Tuesday shows a financial cushion for next year of just over $500,000 and that has college officials, faculty members and trustees worried.

John Schettler, Palomars assistant superintendent for business, said the college should maintain a reserve of $2.5 million or roughly 10 percent of the budget. We run a lot of programs funded by county and federal governments that dont pay their bills on time," said Schettler. "But we have to pay our employees every month. The government doesnt pay us until the year is three-quarters over. Trustee Charles Salter also expressed reservations about the skimpy contingency fund.

It is simply not enough to operate this college, he said. Faculty president Bill Salomone agreed. We are gravely concerned about the halving of the reserve fund, he said. "One million is what we need to (have a) safety net. We are vulnerable without it.

I hope we can do something about getting back to $1 million without drastically harming the instructional program. Administrators, who months ago were projecting massive deficits for next year, prepared a list of cost-saving measures totalling some $1.3 million. They were reflected in the budget trustees approved Tuesday. The amount allocated for instructional supplies was sliced $200,000. Administrators saved some $440,000 by shortening contracts and eliminating both teaching and non-teaching positions.

Particularly hard-hit was the nursing program, which lost three instructors. Another $100,000 was scrapped from the repair budget, $75,000 worth of equipment that needs to be replaced will not be, and the current $1 million reserve fund was cut in half. College President Omar Scheldt said that officials from each college department were asked to go back and scrutinize their respective budgets for still more potential savings. He stressed that the budget adopted Tuesday is a tentative one and that items could be added back if more money becomes available. However, he cautioned that the college's financial picture for next year lies in the hands of state legislators and the governor, who continue to butt heads over Californias financial package.

Stirring the most controversy Tuesday was the elimination of the colleges sports publicist and suspension of pay to summer school instructors for time spent preparing to teach. "It seems a rather bitter pill to me that the only people whose salaries are cut are the summer instructors," said Salomone. "When classroom teachers are the only ones who get their salaries cut, that to me says something about the priorities of this campus. Trustee James Slivkoff disagreed. I am fundamentally opposed to paying for work not performed in the classroom, he said.

Deputy District Attorney William Woodward told the jury in his opening statement that McNabb, 23, of Fallbrook, first told police that Amber Ray Fuller sustained severe bruises to her head and abdomen when she fell. After 2 hours of interrogation by investigators, Woodward said, McNabb said that he didnt know what had happened to Amber because he was outside. McNabbs story changed for the third time when he said that Amber had gotten into a chest of drawers, that he had repeatedly warned her to stay out of. Woodward said.

McNabb said he shoved her backwards off the chest, and when she landed she must have hit her head. And finally. Woodward said, he told investigators that he hit Amber in the head. McNabb was also questioned about a bite mark on Ambers thigh, which he claimed to know nothing about, Woodward said. However, when a dentist examined the mark and concluded that it was caused by an adult, McNabb admitted that he bit Amber.

Woodward read from letters from McNabb to his ex-fiancee, Betty Juhler. McNabb wrote: "I just want to kill myself for what I did to you, Sean (McNabbs son) and Amber. In another letter, McNabb wrote: "How could I have hurt her? I didnt mean to hurt her." McNabb took the child to Fallbrook Hospital at 5:40 p.m. Christmas Day, and the child was pronounced dead at 7:01 p.m. Ms.

Juhler was working at the Colony Kitchen in Fallbrook when she was summoned to the hospital. Ms. Juhler testified Tuesday that she and McNabb had an argument on Dec. 23 over the use of the phone in their two-bedroom apartment in Fallbrook. Ms.

Juhler was going to take Amber from the apartment to her mothers house, but McNabb talked her out of it, she testified. Whether the argument caused him to beat the child, we will never know, said Woodward in an interview outside the courtroom. But it does show his violent temper. Woodward said there is no evidence to indicate that Amber had been previously beaten by McNabb. However, McNabb was convicted of misdemeanor child abuse in 1979.

Court records indicate that McNabb was arrested by Oceanside police for felony child abuse, but pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail. The sentence was suspended on the condition he complete a child abuse program at Casa de Amparo in San Luis Rey. On Tuesday, Superior Court Judge F.V. Lopardo ruled that McNabbs prior conviction could not be admitted as evidence during the trial.

I am certainly as familiar, I suppose, as the average well-informed person about what goes on in this place. I will obviously have to do a lot of research, he said, adding that his analytical abilities were one reason he was selected. A native of Buffalo, N.T., Boarman told reporters that he held professorships in economics at Wisconsin University from 1956 to 1962, at Bucknell University from 1962 to 1967 and at Long Island University from 1967 to 1972. He said he was graduated from Fordem University in 1943 and from Columbia School of Journalism in 1946 and earned a doctorate in economics at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1960. From 1975 to 1979, he said, he ran Patrick M.

Boarman Associates, International Business Consultants, in Palos Verdes. He moved briefly to Del Mar in 1979 and then bought a home in Del Cerro. Divorced and the father of four, Boarman said he has no plans to seek election to any office In the future. He said there were great advantages to being a "lame duck" supervisor. You can call the shots more freely as you see them, rather than worrying about the political fallout, Boarman said.

Eckert said Tuesday that North County will profit from Boarmans selection. "You can believe it, Eckert said. North County is the better for anything that happens at the Board of Supervisors. Boarman Continued from page B1 as the often-cited "creative solutions," were needed to protect the countys infrastructure of roads, jails and public facilities from decay. Any kind of programs you want to have in the public sector has to be paid for one way or another, he said.

If they want public services, if they want their libraries open and they want their prisons uncrowded, if they want better education then they have to be willing to pay for it with higher taxes." Boarman said he wrote the Republican National Committees economic platform before the 1968 election. Asked if his platform was followed by President Richard M. Nixon, who Instituted wage and price freezes among other unsuccessful policies, Boarman said he wasnt sure and would need to research the Issue. The new supervisor said he was only vaguely aware of issues affecting his Third District, which includes Rancho Bernardo, Del Mar, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Tierrasanta and Boarman's home of Del -Cerro, near San Diego State University.
