Newman's trial details tied to burned infant case
Newman, convicted of child endangering for leaving Christopher alone before a fire, claimed she wanted a girl and envied the baby's bond with his father. Dr. Campanella described symmetric first and second-degree burns, likely from dipping the baby face-first into hot water, with swollen eyes and green eye drainage. An attorney sought dismissal of the felonious assault charge, but the judge refused. A tape of Newman's statement and photos will go to the jury. Seven jurors also sat on Kniep's earlier conviction for child endangering over injuries to Alyssa Kniep.

Vermilion school officials warn that even with a $979,379 carryover the district will face a deficit in two years without renewing the 7.2 mill emergency operating levy. The levy expires in 1993 and may need to be increased to cover higher costs from property tax losses, reduced state foundation money, and lower general revenue.

Rural district faces bus cuts for budget savings
Krasienko notes bus savings of 30000 to 35000 for the school year will force students to walk on high speed rural highways with no sidewalks, creating safety hazards. The 64 square mile district is mostly rural and hundreds of parents may oppose the move. Superintendent Huntley opposed the measure, citing safety. Union president Sue Anielski supports some. Board members say there is no choice but to cut high school busing and manage funds.

The council unanimously backs an amendment to outlaw loud music and noise disturbances, with four votes needed for emergency passage on July 13. First offenders face a $75 fine and possible seizure of equipment, with potential 24 hour impoundments for loud cars and higher fines for repeat offenses.
