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.

"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.

LESKO FUNERAL HOME, IN BRIEF Seven years for drugs A Green Tree man who had pleaded guilty to narcotics charges was sentenced yesterday to seven years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

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

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.
