The Index-Journal, Greenwood, S.C., March 16, 1989 Boles trial (Continued from page 1) Ken Spears, a Rock Hill resident, said he was returning from Charleston the day of the accident and stopped to offer aid. The person he helped was Karen Bosarge. The bus was one of three carrying children from Pinecrest Elementary School on a field trip at the time of the accident. Spears told jurors he stopped and ran across the median to offer help. He said as he came on the scene, someone handed him Karen Bosarge, who was nine years old at the time.

He said! he is not an emergency medical technican, but has had some training i in that area. He told jurors he placed Bosarge in the median between the lanes of traffic. "Her leg was split and the skin was rolled back. I could see the bone and blood was pouring out. I saw a hole in the side of her face and as she tried to talk it was flapping back and forth," Spears said.

"There was a lot of grass and mud on the inside of her leg, and I could see three to four inches of the leg bone." He testified he grabbed a pressure point and tried to stop the pulsing of blood. He said he held a cloth on her face, and either himself or someone else, kept pressure on her leg until help arrived. He added he visited Karen the next day at the hospital. Spears said he saw Howard Boles at the scene, and he was walking around with his hands in his pockets. He said after the Highway Patrol arrived, Boles sat in the patrol car with his head in his hands and didn't offer assistance to anyone (that Spears was aware of).

Ruby Wise, a teacher at Southside Junior High School, told jurors that Boles was the driver on a Washington, D.C., trip in May 1987. testified the bus sideswiped a guardrail somewhere in North Carolina and ran off the road sometime later. Wise said she became concerned with his driving and met with other teachers after they arrived at hotel accommodations. She said the teachers decided collectively to request another driver be sent to finish the trip. She said she called Glynn Boles, owner of Boles Bus Lines, and requested another driver which he granted.

Jurors also viewed a videotape of a deposition of Dr. Donald Serafin a plastic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center. Serafin testified that the scars on Bosarge's face and leg could be made less noticeable but they would always be visible. Karen Bosarge testified today that she remembered the bus crashing and the next thing she knew she was outside. She said her face was burning and when she touched it she had wet blood on her hand.

She said she looked at her leg and saw the bone. Bosarge testified she remembered Spears helping her. She added she thought she was going to die and prayed. She said the scars she now has bother her, and at the request of her' attorney stood so the jurors could view the scars on her lower left leg and face. She said she understands she will always have scars, but wants them to be less noticeable.

Bosarge said she is now afraid to sleep alone, has to have a night light, and is afraid of the weather (thunderstorms). She said she has trouble sleeping at night and worries when her parents leave because she is afraid they may die. Her father testified that expenses to date total at least $29,949.76. In response to a question from his attorney he said neither Howard Boles (driver) nor his father Glynn Boles (bus owner) has apologized to him.

The House gave key preliminary approval to the 1989-90 appropriations act Wednesday and gave routine final approval this morning. Some of the provisions in the tax reduction plan, however, will be formally adopted next week when the House works on the supplemental budget, which allocates surplus revenue, Sheheen said. The budget must still go before the state Senate.

The governor and House members agreed that the state, with its. economy growing faster than expected, had about $26 million in excess revenue. But Campbell, the House Ways and Means Committee and a separate faction of Discovery flight Democrats had three competing proposals on how to spend the money. The compromise plan includes portions of all three plans, but phases in most of what Campbell wanted over a longer period of time. There were re two major items left out of the compromise: a proposal by Campbell to reduce auto insurance taxes by $15 million, which would have reduced premiums by up to $8 a year, and a proposal by Rep.

Herb Kirsh, a Clover Democrat and Ways and Means Committee leader, to spend $12 million in surplus funds on school building needs.
