City refuses raise for firefighters
Lawrence city officials, trying to comply with federal anti-inflation guidelines, have refused a request from local firefighters for a 17 percent cost of living wage increase, Kevin Burt, city employee relations director, said last night.
The guidelines ask that wage increases be kept to 7 percent.
"We talked about the guidelines," Burt said. "We feel very strongly about living safely."
Firefighters and city officials met Wednesday to discuss contract proposals in the City of Atlanta.

Consumer Affairs board selected
The Board of Directors of the Consumer Affairs Association last night selected four KU students and one KU staff member to join them on the board of directors.
The students selected were Debra Hafleigh, Lawrence first year law student; Preston Longino, Lawrence graduate student; Pat O'Brien, Lawrence graduate student; and Michelle Senecal, Lawrence freshman. The campus staff member named to the board was Judy Browder, director of University Information.
Consumer Affairs, 819 Vermont St., is a public service office that investigates fraud.
Susan Hanna, campus representative for on-campus affairs, said the selection was "thoughtful and well thought."
The board of directors, Hanna said, is responsible for selecting the programs the association will promote and for making policy decisions for the association. She also said student members of the board acted as a "link to the University."
The board members selected yesterday will serve with five community representatives who are members of the board, and will be representatives of the Consumer Affairs Office.
incentive pay, longevity pay and a physical conditioning program for firefighters also.
City officials rejected a proposal for increased longevity pay for firefighters because the current longevity pay plan is only a year old, Burt said.
The city currently pays for a portion of the plan.
Firefighters and city officials disagreed on the family insurance proposal made by the firefighters. Firefighters requested that the City of Bristol accept Blue Cross and Blue Shield family plan.
THE CITY rejected the plan because of possible budget problems and increases in the costs of the plan. James Woydzki, vice president of the International Association of Fighter Pilots, wrote:
Firefighters now are willing to discuss a specific dollar amount increase in the city's share of insurance payments, Woydzink said.
Woydziak said an agreement was neared on a proposal for skill incentive pay for the staff.
Burt said that the city and firefighters agreed maintenance of a physical fitness center was essential.
Skill incentive pay is a system that encourages firefighters to develop extra skills, such as arson investigation and safety training, by giving pay raises for each skill learned.

the city rejected the firefighters' proposal for the plan because it was too specific.
The major disagreement on the skill incentive proposal was whether the fire department chief should have sole responsibility awarding the raises, as the proposal states.
Woolly negotiations are going slowly, Woodyziak said, some progress has been made.
"The city seems to be willing to work things out," he said.

Lawrence police arrested three men Wednesday on charges that alleged they were involved in an armed robbery at the Western Stilin Stank House, 3204 Iowa St., Frie
Jail officials identified the men as Eugene Coleman, 28, and Jerry Hammleton, 22, both addressings at a local motel, and Patrick D. William, 22, no address listed.
Coleman originally was held in lieu of $25,000, and the other two were held in lieu of $2,500 bond each.
LA. Lyle Sutton, head of the police detective division, said last night that the bond for the three was raised yesterday, because of suspected connections with robbers in western Kansas and in Nevada. He said the three were not suspected of being involved in any other burglars in Lawrence.
Sutton said Coleman was accused of being the man who allegedly entered the restaurant near closing time Friday and took an undisclosed amount of cash after threaling a clerk
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Palaeia 2:1 and Acts 4:25
No cash had been recovered yesterday, Sutton said. However, a car and a weapon possibly used in the Lawrence holdup were recovered, he said.
Webster says "a heathen is one who does not believe in the God of the Bible. This fits in with what God says in the Sermons and Indications, in denominationnations such as Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc., were founded and developed by men who were Old and New Testaments are the Initable Word of God, the Supreme Authority for Faith and Practice, Or, in other words,
The Law and The Testimony were the great Foundation Stones of The Reformation of the 16th century begun by Luther, and established by the same great Foundation Stones, and the Law and The Testimony were also the basis of the 17th century Revival and Reformation, sometimes called the Great Foundation Stones, because words frequently on the lips of John Wesley, and were the great Foundation Stones of the 18th century Revival led by John Calvin, were similar to those of France at the time of her Revolution.
Not only did the Westesian Revival greatly bless England, but its fire leaped across The Atlantic Ocean and kindled itself in North America by the hands of such men as Whitfield, Asbury, Coke. Johnathan Edwards, and others, and spread rapidly over our country, producing such men in civil life and civil life as George Washington,帕特里夏·华福, etc.
like a trumpet? "Give me liberty, or give me death?" As an individual have often thought of and thanked God for what Patrick's zeal and efforts, along with kindred spirit, has given him. He was always thought that he "stopped short," and should have gone further and said "Give me righteousness, or give me death." We have been told to use by faith we do to death in time, and in eternity.
Liberty without righteousness usually uses "license," which in turn produces and provokes the "wrath of God" upon men and nations! Through the blessings of God which have come from our rich and godly heritage we have grown into a nation of believers.
Patrick Henry "cried aloud, spared not, lifted up his voice
By the way, wwy don't you get familiar with your Bible it you have taken the vows to join a Protestant Christian Church — or if you have not joined — Get familiar with all of it?
The great and inspired men of God mentioned above were all in one accord in one respect: "They believed in The God of the Bible." No only that "it contained The Word of God," but it "was The Word of God."
Ask the Author and Finisher of Faith to give you a believing heart. "Fear comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." If "you read it and decide you don't want to or can't trust The god therein revealed then resign and get out of The god," say, "and put your hand in the baggage, and "paddle your own canoe" on into eternity, in the boat formed by your own wisdom and skillful hands!
