8B THE PALM BEACH POST THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1999 Sheriff to keep savings for computers Smaller classes sought for reading, algebra By Trebor Banstetter windfall in the state pension system, spurred by the booming stock market, that reduced the sheriffs contributions by $5.3 million. Commissioners had hoped to use those savings to help offset this year's loss in revenue sharing. Several commissioners fear the loss of an an additional $18 million from Tallahassee next year. The sheriffs proposed 1999-2000 budget is about $211 million. Although grateful for the extra money, Neumann said, "We're at a definite crossroads when it comes to providing citizens with, the best services.

As we continue to grow, we're struggling." The sheriffs office still needs a complete overhaul of its computer system, he. said, which will cost up to $12 million. Under the proposed budget, which will be approved in September, the sheriffs office will get 77 new employees, Neumann -said. About half will be patrol officers. county ends up paying the employees' salaries.

"The state is always sticking it to our county taxpayers," Aaronson said. Commissioners instructed County Administrator Bob Weisman to compile a list of all state-ordered costs that are paid for by the county. "I have a feeling well find millions of dollars there," Aaronson said. Commissioner Karen Marcus suggested including a flier in every tax bill telling residents how much of their property taxes are devoted to state-ordered programs. Neumann, meanwhile, will spend his $5.3 million on computers and communication equipment.

"We should buy these radios and computers now, while there's money available," said Commissioner Carol Roberts. "The need for this isn't going to go away next year." The money comes from an unexpected Palm Beach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH In an abrupt about-face, Palm Beach County commissioners decided Wednesday to let Sheriff Robert Neumann keep $5.3 million in pension savings to pay for new technology. But they warned that the next few years could be lean because of a potential loss of $18 million in state revenue-snaring money next year. "Well give him what we can afford in the future," said Commissioner Mary McCarty. "But we may have some tight years ahead.

We can't make any promises." Commissioners railed against so-called "unfunded mandates" from tile state laws passed in Tallahassee that eventually must be paid for by county taxpayers. Commissioner Burt Aaronson cited as an example four court employees whose sole job is helping domestic violence victims fill out 20-page forms. The forms are required under state law, but the FUNERAL NOTICES i By Maty Ellen tannery Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Schools Superintendent Joan Kowal proposed Wednesday that the school board spend $6.4 million next year to lower class sizes for reading in the. primary grades and algebra in middle and high schools. Instead of blanket class-size reductions districtwide 1 which would cost millions more only specific schools would benefit initially, Kowal told the board at a budget workshop.

Reading classes for kin- first and second-graders would be cut from an average of 26 to just 15 students for 90 minutes a day. But only the 19 worst elementary schools would get the money next year. The rest would get phased in over 1 three years. School board members liked the idea but they still want to talk about other class-size reductions. Some 'board members said they were concerned that spend-; ing more money on the lowest-performing schools would take dollars away from other needy schools.

Next year, the smaller reading classes would cost $3.6 million, including $1.8 million for additional reading teachers and $1.1 million on "reading intervention teachers" to train other teachers. About $360,000 would be spent on a district-level "implementation team" to put this proposal into action. Over three years, the program will cost $19.4 million. School Board Chairwoman Sandra Richmond said it seemed that the proposal had too many layers of bureaucracy, but staff members as sured her they were necessary. The reading intervention teachers would be working like coaches, often in the classroom.

"When class size is tied to specific areas where you want specific outcomes, you can get them," Kowal said. The proposal also included limiting algebra class size to 20 students in all the high schools and in five middle schools next year. It would cost $2.8 million, including $1.7 million for the high schools and $285,725 for the middle schools. The other middle schools would be added the following year. "Our algebra is abysmal.

We know we can get better, but we need to provide extra assistance," said curriculum Director Bettye Roth. School board member Tom Lynch said he'd support both programs and he urged other board members to send a clear message of support so that district staff could begin recruiting additional teachers. But a clear message wasn't forthcoming. Richmond wondered if something shouldn't be added to help elementary students with math. And school board member Art Johnson with five minutes left in the workshop unveiled a plan to reduce class size in middle and high schools at no cost, he said.

His plan relied on a switch from traditional six or seven-period days to block scheduling. In the end, it became clear that the board needed to meet again to decide where they want to spend their money. Another budget workshop will be added in June. Baby loses mom at bus stop in case that baffles Stuart Court ends privacy suit over photo By Scott Hiaasen Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Jacqueline Porzio Dinin said she was mortified when she saw a racy picture of herself wearing only a towel in a book on boudoir photography. But her embarrassment came three years too late.

Dinin and her husband sued a Fort Lauderdale photographer in 1995 for publishing a risqu photo of Dinin in a book called Secrets of Boudoir Photography. The Boca Raton woman had asked the photographer, Robert Hurth, in 1987 to take some sexy pictures of her for her husband but she said she never intended that they be published. Last year, the case went to trial, and Dinin won a $125,000 jury verdict. But on Wednesday the Dinins' invasion of privacy suit was thrown out by the 4th District Court of Appeal because it was filed three years after the statute of limitations had expired. Under Florida law, the court said, the Dinins should have sued in 1992, within four years of the book's 1988 publication date.

But Dinin said she didn't know about the book until seven years after it was published. Dinin could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Hurth, who has published three other photography books, said he felt vindicated by the court's decision. He said he routinely has his customers sign waivers to appear in the books a condition imposed by his publisher and he believes Dinin signed one as well.

Bus tickets show Vallesio and the baby's mother, Delmi Garcia Ortiz, boarded the bus in Brownsville, Texas, and were heading to Miami, but Vallesio seemed confused about where Ortiz missed reboarding the bus. Vallesio had paperwork indicating the two women and their children entered Texas illegally from Mexico on May 22 and are scheduled for an immigration hearing in Texas in November, Treat said. Vallesio wanted to continue to Miami and turned the infant over to police. The baby was to spend Wednesday night in a shelter home. Rowse said he called Florida bus stops, trying to find one with a mother looking for her baby, but no one reported anything like that.

"It was really weird," Rowse said. Stuart police Sgt. Marty Ja-cobson said it turned out that Ortiz took another bus to Miami and was waiting for Vallesio, assuming she would still have the baby. Area deaths Gutterman-Warheit Memorial Chapel, Boca Raton. Pecullan, Anne 80, of West Palm Beach.
