Three robbers tied up an air freight company employee Wednesday and used a forklift to load crates of the recordings onto a truck, police said. The recordings were valued at more than $400,000. "Dangerous" is the first album from the 33-year-old Jackson in four years.

It is due in stores Tuesday. The Associated Press DAVIS A Santa Cruz man was one of three people killed in a helicopter crash Wednesday. Yolo County coroner's officials said John Christopher Hunt, 29, of Santa Cruz, and pilot John Edward Mill, 35, of Los Gatos, died in the crash. Deputy Coroner James Burton said his office was working with the British Consulate-General in San Francisco to confirm the identity of the third man. The Bell 206 helicopter, owned by the Aris Co.

in San Jose, was on its way to Sacramento when it crashed about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in foggy, swampy flatlands north of Interstate 80 and east of Davis. Many drivers on the busy freeway called police and reported the lights of an aircraft descending rapidly at a 45-degree angle. An infrared-equipped helicopter spotted the wreckage just north of the Southern Pacific railroad trestle that parallels the freeway, said Yolo County Sheriff's Sgt. Lee Refs-land.

He said the wreckage "covered a large area." Sacramento Metropolitan Airport reported losing radar contact with the helicopter immediately after police were called by drivers, some using cellular phones. The accident was being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration. Madonna snubs the Hoosiers AN INDIANA senator says he'll take Madonna to dinner and prove to her that there's more to the southern Indiana city of Evansville than she thinks. Madonna, in an article in the Nov. 23 TV Guide, compared her three-month stay in the Evansville area during the filming of the movie "A League of Their Own" with a visit to Prague, Czechoslovakia.

The Material Girl was upset she didn't get MTV at the house she rented during filming last summer. "Anyone bored with both Evansville and baseball deserves our sympathy. It means they are bored with life," said Republican Sen. Dan Coats. "I am personally offering to buy Madonna a dinner at Mattingly's where she can give both the town and the sport another chance." There was no word on whether Madonna would accept the invite.

The movie, which focuses on a women's professional baseball league in the 1940s, also features Tom Hanks and Geena Davis.

COLUMNIST Anna Quindlen says society is in an awkward time as men and women shed their traditional roles. "Over the last 20 years, we've changed the world just enough to make it radically different, but not enough to make it work," she said Wednesday at a 100th birthday celebration for Family Service of Lincoln, Neb. American society must "What we really need is radical change in the entire way that men, women and children live together." Employers can help by having more compassion for working mothers and working fathers, by shortening the work week and by humanizing the work place, said Quindlen, who writes for The New York Times. From Sentinel wire services Parks won't close in near future Cutting budgets for seasonal employees is also being considered. Murphy is also part of a subcommittee looking at ways to expand revenues without increasing fees.

State parks stores modeled on the Nature Company, selling books and nature items are being considered, as are expanded concessions such as tent cabins and hot dog stands in the parks, and more events such as 10K races and symphonies. The parks department may also try to "formalize the relationship" with the state Department of Education, Murphy said, to gain support for the many environmental Continued from Page Al The department is now looking closely at how it can cut expenses without affecting the public's use of parks and beaches, he said. "We're probing efficiencies in the field and at headquarters before we talk about closing parks," Murphy said. Murphy said that rumors of park closures and layoffs have created "a lot of paranoia" on the part of the public. "The public really needs to understand, California State Parks is not into closing parks, denying them what is an extension of their backyards, without going through a process," he said.

A hit list of possible park closures, which included Wilder Ranch, earlier this year was an "in-house exercise" that was leaked, he said. "The list was just a working list, a worst-case scenario. If you had to close parks, what would they be?" Murphy said. Layoffs of permanent park employees have been discussed, he said, as well as organizational changes, such as merging some of the state's 52 districts. The earliest that permanent employees could be laid off would be June 1992, he said.

It was 11:15 p.m. when members of the parents' coalition started their presentation, after the administration's presentation and comments from others, said Bardacke.

The meeting ended at about 2 a.m. Clark-Cozad estimated that only about 25 parents stuck it out. Marani did not return several phones calls from a reporter Thursday. The coalition members present-' ed a 13-point proposal to reform the budget process and to restore transportation cuts scheduled to go into effect in January. Central to their proposal is that $320,000 discovered in the budget the result of a computer goof be used to restore transportation cuts instead of being left in the self-insurance fund.

Three other proposals dealt with reform of the budget process. The group asked that the previous year's actual expenditures be published and that expenditures of more than 5 percent over budget be approved by the board. "The budget process has to be put in a shape that is understandable to the public and board. Right now it's not accessible," said Bardacke. The group also proposed that: The district publish a list and analysis of the previous year's budget transfers.

Although many state parks have free showers, pay showers have been a reality for some time at Pfeiffer Big Sur Park, he said. Three minutes of hot water costs a quarter, and the quarters from the park's 30 showers add up to $40,000 to $50,000 per year for the park.

Expanding that program throughout the state could raise some $500,000 a year, said Murphy. Besides raising money, the pay showers save the district a million gallons of water a month.
