King News Journal Proponents of the constitutional amendment requiring a three-day waiting period between purchase and delivery of a handgun say the law will save lives and reduce injuries. But opponents say it will do nothing except leave defenseless -for at least three days those people who want to own a gun.

"If this law does save one life, I am all for it," said Escambia County Sheriff Charlie Johnson, a former gun shop owner. "But the legislators went after er the wrong segment of society because people who rob and steal are not going to buy their guns from a store." The three-day delay is designed as a cooling off period for individuals who might try to buy a gun while angry or otherwise emotionally distraught. Florida voters approved the amendment one of four on the ballot by an overwhelming margin Nov. 6. Rep.

Ron Silver, D- North Miami Beach, who spearheaded the proposal, said he expected only 70 percent of those who voted to support the measure. But when the votes were counted, 85 percent of voters favored the waiting period. Silver originally had called for a sevenday waiting period, but that was first cut to five, then to three. Roger Graham, co-owner of the Pistol Parlor in Gulf Breeze, said he opposes the measure because "that's three days a person can't protect themselves." Silver said that philosophy is "ludicrous," because anyone who wants a handgun can get one before the law goes into effect. He said he realizes the three-day wait is but one tool in the fight against crime and that much remains to be done, but he said it is a step in the right direction.

The waiting period would not be Steve Journal Holiday outing Three fishermen are silhouetted against a glistening Pensacola Bay as they paddle toward shore early Thanksgiving morning. After a morning low of 50, Thursday's temperature climbed to a high of 74 degrees. Today will be cloudy with a chance of showers and thundershowers. POLICE LOG Arkansas man charged with murder A Helena, man was being held without bond Thursday i in the Escambia County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and robbery with a weapon. Sheriff's deputies served a warrant for the charges against Jimmy E.

Davis, 38, at the county jail about 2 p.m. Wednesday. Details of the alleged crime were not available Thursday. Owner of vehicle has tires stolen When the owner of a four-wheel drive vehicle woke up Thursday morning she found someone had stolen all four of the vehicle's tires and its rims, Pensacola police reported. The victim told Officer Rickey Harris that she heard her dog barking late Wednesday but did not pay much attention to the animal and went back to sleep.

Police have a suspect who they say is addicted to crack cocaine. The thief also took a skin diving suit from the Chevrolet Blazer Rotted roof repaired at Holm Elementary FROM 1B were growing behind the water fountain, and we had a lot of sickness among the students, teachers and Money for roof repairs at the school had been budgeted two years in a row but the administration postponed the project until last spring because of other needs in the school district, Stanley said. Ireland's son James, who sat in one of the classrooms with wet carpet, wet books and wet paper, hasn't been able to reap the benefits of the renovation project this year. He is now a sixth grader at Brentwood Middle School. But kindergarten teacher Louise Nolan has a new outlook on school now that she is teaching in one of the new classrooms.

"There was very little learning going on," Nolan said about last year's school environment. "They learned how to bail and catch water. But this new building fosters learning. It's 150 percent better." Fifth-grade student Julie Gimbel, 10, described the conditions in 1989 as "awful," and this year's facilities as "nice." The roofs don't leak, the toilets don't overflow, and students can have physical education classes inside now, Julie said. "The tax dollars were well spent in this facility," said Connie Langford, a fourth-grade teacher, who had 23 buckets in her room last year collecting rain.

"If the school board had not taken action, we would still be armed with buckets, umbrellas and rain gear." Ill man's fund-raising event to attract prominent guests said he has been involved in political fund-raisers for almost 30 years. He decided to use his organizational skills to help his friend. "Since we've raised money for politicians and Mr. Brown is in need of dollars, why not put those same abilities to good use?" Williams said. Brown also is a director of Destin Savings Bank, a trustee of the FSU Foundation, and a member of the state's Pari- Mutuel Commission.

enforced until the Legislature sets an effective date in its 1991 session. The language in the amendment requires it to be in effect no later than Dec. 31, 1991. Violating the three -day waiting period would be a felony. Marion Hammer, a lobbyist in Florida for the National Rifle Association, called the vote a victory for law-abiding gun owners because they are protected from future gun control laws.

Legislators would have to go into the constitution add any other restrictions, like, background checks, to the she said. Hammer said the law also does not contain a provision for a time of crisis such as the recent spate of killings in Gainesville. "If something like the killings happens after the law goes into effect, it will be clear why a provision" for the speedy sales of handguns is needed, she said. Local gun shop owners said they expect to see increased traffic in their stores by people who want to avoid the limits of the new law. "This law definitely will have an affect on business when it is in place but right now I think it will help enhance the business we do," said Jim Clark, manager of Mike's Gun Shop in Pensacola.

Environmental awareness aimed at schoolchildren which was parked in the first block of Mulberry Street, police said. Tallahassee student robbed and beaten A man believed to have used a knife to rob a woman of five gold chains early Thursday was being sought by Pensacola police. The suspect robbed the woman while she walking through Aragon Court, a public housing area in the 4000 block of East Gregory Street. The victim told Officer Michael McVickers that the man first asked her if she needed a taxi. When she said no, the man grabbed her and pulled her into an abandoned apartment.

The suspect reportedly beat the woman and took her jewelry. The victim sustained a cut on her left hand which she believes was caused by knife. The victim, a student in Tallahassee, said she did not see a knife and refused to return to the scene to help police find evidence. Staff writer Marcus J. King compiled this report.

By Allison Smith News Journal A new environmental curriculum focusing on the consequences of solid waste and how to manage it is being introduced into Escambia County public schools this year. The curriculum is sponsored through the Resource Recovery Project, a cooperative effort of the University of West Florida and Escambia County. Curriculum developer and UWF professor Eleanor Williams said that she has been able to get the program, called "Connections," distributed to about 60 Escambia County public schools with the help of area science teachers.

for the program includes a teacher's manual, colorful stickers, educational videos, posters, a variety of books and activities and a listing of regional recycling stations. The curriculum can be used in regular science classes at all grade levels when learning about the environment, Williams said. "We haven't really dealt with trash before, and we really need to be aware of the kind of debris that we throw away in our homes," said Kendra Grove, an Escambia High School science teacher, who received the kit in August. "I've already done some of the things in the kit, although it seems to be geared more toward elementary than high school level," Grove said. Grove, who teaches marine biology to 11th and 12th graders, has used the kit's material to teach about water and marine debris.

She also took her students to a sewage treatment plant and they participated in a beach clean-up as suggested by the curriculum. Williams, who works at UWF's Education Research and Development Center, said she selected the name "Connections" because existing curriculums lacked a "connection" between the problem of solid waste and the consequences of our actions.

HARPER-MORRIS MEMORIAL CHAPEL, directing. Active Pallbearers: Jeff Gabel, Jim Seaton, Wesley Stapelton, Harry Kastanakis Ill, Ted Peaden and Rick Bent. REV. LEWIS WILLIS GORAM SR. The Rev.

Lewis Willis Goram Sr. peacefully departed this life on Tuesday, Nov. 20, 1990. Rev. Goram Sr.

was born to the late Emmanuel and Sarah Goram in Hurricane, on Oct. 29, 1918. He was called to pastor the historic John the Baptist Church in 1950, which he pastored for over 30 years. In 1982, Sabathani Missionary Baptist Church was established and the Rev. Goram remained the beloved pastor and shepof flock until God called him home.

The Rev. Goram was respected throughout the city and the Florida region. He held a number of offices in the religious community including positions of the first vice-president the General State Convention, president of the Sunday School and Baptist 1988 Florida Solid Waste Act, which has a goal of reducing solid waste statewide by at least 30 percent by the end of 1994, she said. To help reach that goal, Escambia County received a $40,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Regulation. that, $15,000 was used to pay for curriculum consultants, put together the curriculum kits, and sponsor a workshop.

The grant is to help promote recycling, volume reduction, the proper disposal of solid wastes and market development for recyclable materials. "I don't think you can legislate attitudes," Williams said. "My approach is to use the kids to get through to the parents. The kids ultimately will have to deal with the problem, and they are easier mold." Debbie Rees, principal of Suter Elementary School, received the kit this past week because one the school's projects is recycling. "I know there is lots of good activities and knowledge in that curriculum, but it's just new into our hands.

In order to get into anything new, it takes time," Rees said, explaining that she didn't know when teachers would be ing the material in the kit. "We are just scratching the surface of this whole business waste management," Dees said. "We have bins for corrugated cardboard, aluminum, mixed pers and newspapers and we're trying to get students to re-think their habits of throw away. We're trying to get them to think, can be recycled? Re-used? Saved?" Among the practical applications "Connections" suggests: Have students weigh the plastic, paper and food scraps produced the school cafeteria, Williams said. "One of our targets is to reduce the amount of trash we produce, and weighing things such as plastic would illustrate how much throw away," Williams said.
