Adelmo Rossi, 39, of Oakville Drive was arrested last November at Greater Pittsburgh International Airport along with a Florida man who had a pound of cocaine in his luggage.

Both Rossi and co-defendant Brian Stephen Assoon, 27, of Fort Lauderdale eventually pleaded guilty. In June, Assoon was sentenced to 51 months. Five years of the sentence given Rossi by U.S. District Judge Barron P. McCune was a mandatory term for possession of a firearm, which was found when narcotics agents searched his car.

Hearing on Medicare A public hearing on fees doctors may charge Medicare patients will be held at 10 a.m. Friday in City Council Chambers in the City-County Building, Downtown. State Rep. Allen Kukovich, D-Manor, will preside at the hearing. The proposed state House Bill 2250 would require physicians to charge Medicare beneficiaries "no more than Medicare's reasonable charges." Most physicians now charge elderly patients more than the Medicare requiring them to make up the difference.

Claiming that doctors routinely overcharge Medicare patients, the Pittsburgh-based Senior Citizens Health Care Campaign has lobbied for the bill. To testify, call Cheryl A. Friedrich at 717 787-1157. Repairs on McArdle Because of sidewalk reconstruction on McArdle Roadway, traffic during the next four months will be restricted to one lane from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Guilty of manslaughter Rodney Woodson of the Hill District was found guilty yesterday of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting last Oct. 29 of John Bolden during a robbery on Centre Avenue, Hill District.

Woodson, 21, had contended that he shot Bolden in self-defense as Bolden attempted to rob him. Assistant District Attorney John Zattola had sought a conviction of first-degree murder. The jury deliberated about four hours before returning the verdict. Woodson faces a mandatory five years in jail on the manslaughter conviction. Common Pleas Judge Gerard M.

Bigley did not set a sentencing date. Pregnant woman swims to freedom BERLIN (AP) An East Berlin woman who eluded armed guards as she swam to freedom through a polluted river says she's three months pregnant, officials reported yesterday. Four East Germans swam across Berlin's Spree River on Sunday evening while an East German patrol boat stopped nearby as they scrambled onto the West Berlin bank near a government building. One of the four was Maiga Adryan, who told people she was three months pregnant, said West Berlin city spokesman Hans Birkenbeuel. Adryan, 22, broke a foot during the escape, he said.

The fire consumed everything that could burn in the passenger compartment, the engine compartment and the trunk. It melted the windows and tires. Part of the branch, an inch or more in diameter, protruded from underneath the car after the fire, officials said. With the tires melted, however, the underside of the vehicle rested on the ground and could not be examined at the scene, the coroner said. A trail of gasoline extended more than a thousand feet along the road, Wood said.

State police removed the vehicle for a detailed examination. ruled the deaths accidental and said he did not plan autopsies. Their father, David Chrispen, 25, who was driving, and an adult passenger, Thomas M. Fletcher, 20, o'f Erie, suffered minor burns but were not hospitalized, state police said. Another passenger, Jamie M.

Pratt, 14, also of Waterford, escaped unhurt. Chrispen told investigators that he drove over a branch then stopped on the side of the road to look underneath the car for damage. Chrispen, Fletcher and Pratt got out of the car and noticed flames flickering around the leaking gas tank. "They went to get the kids out, and just then the car went up in flames," ERIE, Pa. (AP) State police are investigating a freak accident in which a tree branch punctured a car's fuel tank, leading to a gasoline explosion that killed two children and left a third in serious condition.

Tami Lynn Chrispen, 4, of Water-ford was hospitalized at Hamot Medical Center with first- and second-degree burns over 25 percent of her body, hospital spokeswoman Chandra Wittmark said. The girl's sister, Melissa Sue Chrispen, 2, and her brother, Jonathan David Chrispen, 7 months, died almost instantly Sunday evening when the car in which they were riding was engulfed in fire, authorities said.

truck stop "He's mean," McCrobie said. "He thrashes his tail and hisses, just like a snake. I don't want to go near him." Authorities speculate that the alligator hitched a ride on a truck out of Florida traveling U.S. 48 or that its owners turned it loose in the restaurant parking lot. "It rained hard Saturday, but I don't think it rained that hard," Wotring said.

"He didn't look very happy," McCrobie said. "He kept thrashing that tail." Jessie has been kept in a dog cage in McCrobie's basement and fed hamburger and sausage. The deputy also has been given the duty of hosing the gator down to keep it cool and comfortable until officials from the state Department of Natural Resources pick it up today. KINGWOOD, W.Va. (AP) Authorities yesterday were trying to locate the owner of a wayward alligator dubbed "Jessie" by the customers who found it outside a truck stop in the Allegheny Mountains.

"It was just crawling along the sidewalk outside the building," said Jenny Wotring, manager of Little Sandy's Truck Stop in Bruceton Mills. "A truck driver came in and said, 'Come out and see what's out "We thought it was a joke, but there it was, just crawling along the side of the building." Preston County Deputy Sheriff Cindy McCrobie said she took the call shortly before 6 a.m. Sunday from frantic restaurant employees wondering what to do with the 2Vz- foot alligator. "We didn't believe it at first," said McCrobie. "They had to call us three times before I went over there.

"It was just out wandering around the parking lot. It was the darndest thing I've ever heard of." McCrobie said a customer at the restaurant finally trapped the gator by luring it into a large box with a chunk of hamburger. 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices leniine's Church on PREVIOUS DEATHS LATEST DEATHS Thursday at 10 a.m. E.
