Former grocery store worker found guilty of arson charge
By Jay A. Cohen Kansan staff writer
As part of a plea bargain agreement, a former member of JL's Grocery stores pleaded no contest and was found guilty yesterday in Douglas County District Court on a charge of attempted aggravated arson.
Kansan staff writer
The charge against Bradley D. Tate, 29, stemmed from a March 16 incident in which a homemade explosive device was found in the diaper section of JL's grocery at 601 Kasold Drive.
STADIUM BARBER SHOP
A no context plea means that a defendant waves his trial, consents to punishment for a crime, but does not plead guilty. Even a judge may find him guilty.
Tate's attorney, Shelley Bock, said in court that Tate had no recollection of planting the incendiary device but that evidence later discovered in his apartment led him to believe that he was the one who planted it. Bock said that Tate believed his inability to remember the incident was because of a longstanding addiction to Nyquil.
Assistant District Attorney Rick Trapp said the incendiary device involved a time mechanism and a bottle partially filled with gasoline, which was to have been ignited by electricity passing through the exposed filament of a flashlight bulb. The device thinks the machine does not may be because the ratio of gasoline to air in the bottle was too great.
The agreement placed no restrictions on the sentence the district attorney's office could request.
Trapp said that Tate pleaded guilty to the felony theft charge in order to avoid possible conviction of more charges, but maintained his innocence.
As also as part of the agreement, Tate pleased guilty to one charge of felony theft. Attempted arson and burglary charges also stemming from the theft of various items from the O'Commlin building, Rural Route 5, were dismissed
Tate had been suspended without pay from his job at the store for allegedly hiding bottles of the medicine.
Board to release guides for hospital unions
Quality Haircuts at Reasonable Prices
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON  The National Labor Relations Board is widening the door for unions to recruit millions of health care workers. It is telling hospitals they no longer can bump nurses with physicians, or lab technicians with jianas as well as for twirting organizing drives.
In a 153-page set of proposed regulations to be published today, the NLRB is establishing eight broad categories of hospital employees as appropriate separate bargaining units.
Those categories include:
All registered nurses; all physicians; all professionals except for nurses and physicians; all technical employees such as lab technicians, employees such as plumbers, electricians and heating and air conditioning specialists; all business office clerical employees; all business office managers; other non-professional employees.
The regulations reverse a 1984 board ruling allowing only three or four bargaining units at a hospital unless unions could prove that the interests of different groups of patients so distinct as to justify more.
of hospital workers nationwide who belong to unions has dropped from 23 percent to 19 percent, the job employees. International Union said
John Sweeney, the union's president, attributed part of the decrease to "delays caused by fighting over bargaining unions" and hospitals' efforts to make employees more different professional or other interests instead of addressing each's individual needs."
NLRB officials they hoped to issue the regulations in their final form before the end of the year.
Since that ruling, the proportion
