GAINESVILLE (AP): Two-hour standoff ends in injury. A
Buford man was hospitalized in satisfactory condition Monday
following his shooting by police who said he pointed a shotgun at
them during a two-hour standoff. David Wallace, 31, of Buford was
shot twice outside the home of his former girlfriend in Gainesville
Sunday after he cocked his shotgun and aimed at police surrounding
the home, said Sgt. Ken Grogan of the Hall County Police. Wallace,
wounded in the head and upper chest, was taken to Northeast
Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, where he was listed in
satisfactory condition Monday . Police said Wallace entered the house
of his former girlfriend and threatened to kill the 30-year-old woman
and her two children, 10 and 4.
WARNER ROBINS (AP): Jailer charges discrimination.
A fired Houston County jailer is headed for a court showdown with
the county over whether his dismissal was because of poor
performance or because of his race. General Granville Jr. filed suit in
December seeking reinstatement to his job and back pay, contending
that his dismissal over the March 6, 1989 escape of seven prisoners
was racially biased. In its response to the suit last week, the county
contended that Granville, a 7ra-year veteran of the sheriff's
department, was fired for failirg to follow jail procedures. Granville
and John Norwood were dispensing medicine about 10 p.m. when
three inmates jumped and subdued them. One inmate ran to the jail’s
office and subdued a third guard. The three inmates then opened the
doors to their cell block and four other prisoners escaped with them.
WASHINGTON (AP): Lead paint poses risk to children.
More than 3 million preschool children suffer from lead poisoning
from paint, although lead-containing paint has not been sold for more
than a dozen years, an environmental group said Monday. The
Environmental Defense Fund said that toxic levels of paint are found
in many youngsters under 6 years of age because an estimated 2
million apartments and houses, including many in Georgia, still have
lead-containing paint on the walls. The group called on Congress to
impose an excise fee on lead and to require tnat the money go into a
trust fund that would be used to rid many of the homes of the lead
paint. A Senate committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on
children’s exposure to lead later this week.

BONN, W. Germany (AP): Border isn’t guaranteed.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl on Monday defended his demand that a
guarantee of Poland’s border be linked to Warsaw’s renunciation of
war reparations. Kohl said he has no designs on land ceded to Poland
after the Third Reich’s defeat — about a third of modern-day Poland.
But he has insisted that only the government of a united Germany
could have final say on the matter. Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz
Mazowiecki has called on both Germanys to begin negotiations on a
treaty that would recognize the Oder and Neisse rivers, which
currently form the border, as the permanent boundary between
Poland and Germany. On Friday, Kohl said such a treaty would have
to be tied to Poland’s 1953 renunciation of war reparations and of its
pledge last year to protect the ethnic rights of its German minority.

After searching for an hour and
a half, University Police retrieved
an infant from the bottom of Lake
Herrick Friday afternoon.
Luckily, the infant was a life-
sized baby doll secretly hidden by a
diving instructor to illustrate the
types of situations the University
Police’s newly-formed dive team
may face in the future.
Det. Jimmy Williamson, Sgt. Pat
Stokes, Cpl. Rick Taylor and Sgt.
Mike Sprostam staged the body-re
covery exercise, which was the first
one open for public viewing.
Before the exercise began, the
doll was secretly hidden under
water and Chief Chuck Horton
acted as an eye-witness who told
the team about where the child
drowned.
With a safety diver positioned on
the water’s edge, the first diver en
tered the water. Both men held a
rope used to constantly monitor the
diver’s progress. The team rotated
divers twice and retrieved the doll
within 90 minutes.
“You just have to feel for it be
cause there is so little visibility,”
Stokes said.
The dive team may also be used
to retrieve crime evidence. In the
past, divers have been skilled
enough to retrieve handguns,
bullet casings and a single key.
According to Williamson, the
dive’s supervisor, the team was
formed in January because the

only has two trained divers.
“We created the team because
times are changing. We felt it was
necessary to prepare ourselves for
emergencies rather than be caught
at a loss,” he said.
Each member has been trained
in diving and underwater investi
gation by the Professional Associa
tion of Diving Instructors.
Williamson has earned seven
diving certifications including Dive
Master, one of the highest degrees
attainable.
