METRO Wednesday, August 12, 1981 CosAtlfleles CCtPart II V'V'' Newfound County Money Will Help Restore Health Cuts By JEAN MERL, Times Staff Writer Over the vigorous objections of Supervisor Mike Antonovich, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted to stretch a small pot of newfound money to help restore health service cuts in six important areas. In dividing up $934,873 in underestimated state aid, the board followed the recommendations of Robert W. White, director of the Department of Health Services, who wanted to help ease budget cuts in several areas "hav Judge Weighs Dismissal of NFL Juror art -zlzz ft UN By CHARLES MAHER, Times Staff Writer A motion to remove one of the 10 jurors in the National Football League antitrust case was taken under submission by a federal judge Tuesday night after the juror acknowledged he is related to a former professional football club owner. The juror, retired Anaheim businessman Thomas Gelker, said the relationship had not even occurred to him until he was asked about it late Tuesday in the chambers of Judge Harry Pregerson. Gelker told the judge that he is a first cousin of Bruce Gelker, onetime owner of the Portland Storm of the now-defunct World Football League, but that their relationship was not close.

The motion to dismiss Gelker was made by the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission and the Oakland Raid- BEN OLENDER Lot Angeles Tina Fire sculpture As the early morning sun hits, trees left nearly bare during recent Elysian Park fire become a work of art.

ing the most extreme adverse effects." That infuriated Antonovich, a member of the board's new conservative majority and a frequent critic of past boards' spending policies. Antonovich said such a small amount of money just 1.6 of the $56 million slashed from health services early last month would be spread too thinly to do much good in any area. Warning that supervisors would only "add to the chaos and confusion" by stretching the money too much, Antonovich said government has been making unwise spending decisions "for too damn long." Restoring Programs He wanted White to pick one or two top-priority programs and put all the money into fully restoring those. But White said the small amount would not "solve any of these (severely cut programs) completely," so he favored plunking a little money into each area to avoid the worst of the problems. That argument swayed another conservative, Supervisor Deane Dana, who broke philosophical ranks with Antonovich and voted with liberal Supervisors Ed Edel-man and Kenneth Hahn in approving White's recommendations.

The senior conservative, Supervisor Pete Schabarum, was on vacation. Although he said he "agreed completely" with Antonovich that monies should be spent on fewer, high-priority services, he said the amount in this case was so small it was not worth arguing about How Money Will Be Spent Here is how the money will be spent $316,040 to provide pharmacy services to some hospital outpatients who cannot get desperately needed prescriptions filled elsewhere. $158,376 to provide transportation to clinics for patients in certain hardship cases. $155,358 to rehire seven medical social workers, a group whose services were to have been completely eliminated. $24,956 to keep one health educator, to be shared by three comprehensive health centers.

$44,830 to keep two nutritionists, another group whose jobs were to have been eliminated. Outpatient Clinics $235,313 to restore some outpatient clinics in some hospitals; what services would be put back at which hospitals has not yet been decided. None of the funds will be used to reopen any of the eight neighborhood health centers closed late last month. But Hahn, who had wanted the centers reopened, said he supported the package approved Tuesday because "it's at least a start" and an important "signal" to the groups that have been coming to the board meetings every week to protest cuts in health care and demand full restoration of the services. This action alone, however, will not be enough to "end the unrest" Hahn added.

Please see HEALTH, Page 8 by Deputy Dist. Atty. Dennis E. Whelan said the two officers involved had acted in self-defense. After the report was issued, Velasquez's mother filed a wrongful death suit against the city of Compton, its Police Department and the two officers.

An attorney representing the mother charged that the report on the youth's death contained "substantial inconsistencies" and called for reopening the case. In an interview with The Times, Garcetti conceded that Whelan's report contained a number of errors and some conflicts between the evidence cited and the report's The Los Angeles County district attorney's office, admitting that its report on the shooting death of a youth by Compton police contained several factual errors, said Tuesday it has reopened the investigation into the incident Gilbert Garcetti, head of the Special Investigations Division of the district attorney's office, which handles complaints against the police, said he had ordered the new inquiry because "there is a lot of trouble" with the original report. The investigation stemmed from the Jan. 8 shooting of Luis Velasquez, a 16-year-old Compton youth, after a high-speed car chase. A report on the incident issued June 9 "I'm asking for a supplementary report to clear up the questions that have been raised by both the inaccuracies of the report, by your questions and by our questions," Garcetti said.

Garcetti declined to disclose what questions had been raised internally, but he said Whelan and a department investigator, Robert Sponheim, have been ordered to interview four witnesses they did not question for the first report. In addition, Garcetti said Whelan and Sponheim have interviewed the two police officers for the first time, getting their help in reconstructing the shooting.

She had tied a small scrap of white cloth to the tip of her cane, apparently in a futile effort to signal for help. The body of the prominent Santa Ana woman was found in her automobile, bogged down in deep sand, on Sunday a dozen miles south of the desert community of Baker.

She was the founder of the Assistance League of Long Beach and the Assistance League of Tustin. Her husband, Melvin L. Campbell, who died in 1947, once was a Long Beach city councilman. Visit to a Friend According to a daughter, Marjorie Peak of Tustin, Mrs. Campbell drove to Apple Valley in the Victor-ville area Aug.

Last Thursday, the elderly woman began the trip home in her 1974 Ford sedan but somehow got turned around and drove 100 miles northeast on Interstate 15 through Barstow and on toward Las Vegas. San Bernardino Sheriffs Sgt Joseph Perea said in Barstow that the apparently confused woman pulled into a service station just south of Baker and was told how to get back on the freeway in the right direction. Because she did not seem to have much cash or the proper credit card, a friendly truck driver gave her $20 Please see STRANDED, Page 4 ers, who contend that the NFL violated antitrust law by keeping the Raiders from moving to Los Angeles. The motion said Gelker should be removed because of "failure to make a complete revelation" while the jury was being selected three months ago.

The jurors began weighing the evidence two weeks ago, after a 55-day trial, and will resume deliberations this morning at the Los Angeles federal courthouse. In an exchange of notes with the judge Tuesday, the panel indicated they are confused over the main issue in the case. In their first claim, the Coliseum and Raiders say the NFL violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by enforcing section 4.3 of the league constitution. That section requires a team to get approval of three-fourths of the league membership before moving. Responding to one note from the judge, jury forewoman Carole Slaten wrote: "Explain relationship between 4.3 anti-trust Is the Sherman Act suppose (d) to be over 4.3 or is 4.3 over the Sherman Act?" Most observers thought this question had been answered by jury instruction No.

31, which said: Our public laws take priority over constitutions and bylaws and rules of private organizations. Otherwise, for example, the constitution and bylaws and rules of a private organization could override the antitrust law." Please see RAIDERS, Page 8 Three weeks ago, as he has a number of times before, Hansen helped save a woman's life. What was unusual about it was that she had been clinically dead. What was even more unusual was that she was the first person who ever thanked him. "This job gets discouraging sometimes," Hansen admitted Tuesday.

"Something like that makes it all worth it" Gertrude Malveau, 61, had been driving from her home in the Florence area to a beauty shop on South Normandie Avenue on the morning of July 22, when she started feeling "a little woozy "I pulled over at Normandie and 81st but it didn't get any better," she recalled Tuesday. "I walked up to a house and knocked on the door. I asked the man there to call the paramedics. "The last thing I remember is the man looking at me and saying, 'She's really That's when I passed out" The man called the Los Angeles Fire Department and moments later Hansen, his partner, Rick Wall-man, and two firefighters, John Miller and Luke Milick, arrived at the scene. "She was having a rough time," Hansen said.

"She was in full cardiac arrest a severe heart attack. She was clinically dead "I got an I.V. (intravenous needle) into her and started giving her everything atropine, a dextrose solution, carbon dioxide Miller applied cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The woman's heart stopped, then Please see PARAMEDIC, Page 2 Rod Hansen is a paramedic. He wears a flak jacket.

Several months ago, he was responding to a call for a man with a seizure "when the guy jumped up off the gurney and started beating on us with his fists. I guess he was onPCP." A few weeks later, Hansen said, he responded to a call at a home on Baring Cross Street "It was a dead body call," he said. "I was leaning against a door jamb when two guys jumped out and started shooting. I think they thought I was from another gang. They missed me, but not by much." So the 25-year-old paramedic wears a flak jacket And he keeps rolling on calls.

Zan Thompson The Promise of a Rose Garden an Updated Account A Big Silver Bird Brings the Biggest News in Years to Small Town in Desert By JERRY BELCHER, Times Staff Writer NEEDLES It was, some folks said, the most exciting thing to happen in this little desert town since Gen. George S. Patton set up his headquarters here early in World War IL The happening was the unscheduled landing of a big United Airlines Boeing 727 jet with 132 passengers aboard at the small, privately owned Needles Airport Nothing like that had ever happened before, and between 200 and 400 of the town's 4,200 residents rushed out to gawk and offer helping hands to the stranded strangers from Chicago. The jet was supposed to have landed at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport Monday evening, but the weather was so bad there that Capt Fred Regiembal decided to fly on to Ontario Airport BuWuel was running low, an airline spokesman said, so the captain decided to put down at Needles.

"We heard about it only three minutes before he landed," said airport manager Jo Medrano. "We had to get fire trucks and paramedics out from five miles away. It was quite exciting." She said that ordinarily only small private planes land at the airport "People could see it coming in and they thought it was going to crash, and hundreds of them came rushing out to see what Please see BIG BIRD, Page 5 165 acres in 1937 and two years later bought 460 acres of watershed. That's where the garden's water supply comes from, pure and non-alkaline. Boddy named it Rancho Descanso, place of repose.

Now, Descanso Gardens is part of the Department of Arboreta and Botanic Gardens of the County of Los Angeles. When the money is raised from private sources and the new building ready, it will be turned over to the county. Mrs. Van de Camp took me in through a glade of lilacs, all tall bushes of Eastern lilacs that have been fooled into thinking they can grow in this semi-arid place, and they do. There are more than 100,000 camellia plants, the largest gardens of camellias in the world, clustered under huge oak trees.

We walked through the herb garden, a place of dusty, pungent scents, orange bergamot rosemary, lemon mint old-fashioned julep mint It is a bouquet for the nose, these ancient plants we have used to flavor and preserve fruits and vegetables since the first cave lady said, "Say, Oog, try a little of those funny bulbs on that haunch of mammoth. Let's call it onion." My special delight is the historical rose garden. One of the roses is from Persia, first recorded in 2500 BC One is the Damask Rose from There is a gaudy fellow with a top knot seemingly made of bright orange plastic who lives in the lake at Descanso Gardens in La Canada. He is either a large duck or a small swan but his hat looks like a cross between a battle helmet and one of the more obscure pieces of Tupperware. Descanso Gardens is a soul-soothing oasis cupped between the San Rafael hills and La Canada.

Just when I thought that the only hope for Bixby and me was to run away from home until the remodeling is finished, Mrs. Harry J. Van de Camp asked me to lunch at the Gardens. Mrs. Van de Camp is chairman of development of Descanso Gardens and the prime mover in the first capital fund drive ever launched for this quiet resource of trees and brooks, waterfalls and gardens.

The money will be used to build a large multipurpose building, a solar structure built in the manner of Greene and Greene. It will have classrooms, lecture halls, entertainment centers and all of it will sit close to the earth, among the trees and plants that make Descanso one of a kind. It began as a Spanish land grant to the Verdu-go family and became Descanso Gardens when E. Manchester Boddy, who was editor and publisher of the Los Angeles Daily News, bought Syria, which was taken to France by a homesick Crusader and then was taken across the channel to England. A tattered rose the color and scent of crushed raspberries is called Irish Elegance.

Rose Moye-sii is a native of China. Mrs. Van de Camp said that Josephine Mrs. Bonaparte, I suppose was a great rose fancier and was responsible for pushing the hybridization of roses. Harrison's Gold is a yellow rose that grows wild in the Mother Lode country.

It started on the Eastern Seaboard and was brought west by the gallant ladies who rode the covered wagons across the plains and over the Rockies. Every time they stopped to rest or spell the stock, many of them planted a slip of Harrison's Gold. So the doughty little rose is growing now across the routes the wagon trains took. Descanso is full of romance and beauty with a blazing display of bloom each month, peaking with the December showing of living Christmas trees. On Oct 17 and 18, the members of the Descanso Gardens Guild will hold their sale of ancient roses.

They will have slipped and potted more than 1,000 roses. The prettiest? Oh, all of them. How could one judge, unless, of course, it were Irish Elegance..
