The defense had sought material from the station that was not shown on the air, but the newsmen objected, saying the material was not relevant and was protected by state "shield" laws allowing reporters to withhold confidential sources and unpublished information. The newsmen were held in contempt of court in Febru- ary 1986, but after the closed-door !rearing last Novem- ber, San Diego Superior Court Judge Franklin Orfield decided not to jail them, saying the information they had would not help the defense. Lucas' lawyers contended the closed-door procedure was improper, but the state's 4th District Court of Appeal refused to intervene, and the Supreme Court let the rul- ing stand. Lucas is charged in one case with the May 4, 1979, slayings of Suzanne Jacobs, 31, and her son, Colin, 3, in their Normal Heights home and of real estate saleswom- an Gayle Garcia, 29, Dec. 8, 1981, in a Spring Valley home s!le was showing to prospective renters. In the other case, Lucas is charged with the murders Oct. 23, 1984, of Rhonda Strang, 24, and a child she was baby-sitting, Amber Fisher, 3, in Strang's Lakeside home;· murdering University of San Diego student Anne Cathe- nne Swanke, 22 in November 1984 in La Mesa, and kid- napping and attempting to murder Jody Santiago, 34, a Seattle woman who survived a slashed throat, fractured ull and stab wounds in June 1984.

The state Supreme Court has rejected a request by San Diego multiple-murder defendant David Allen Lucas for a pretrial review of some of the evidence against him and of procedures that allowed two newsmen to testify behind closed doors. None of the justices voted to grant a hearing on Lucas' appeal of lower-court rulings in connection with three of the six murders with which he is charged. Two separate trials have been ordered for charges stemming from the slayings of three women in 1984 and from three earlier slayings, but the prosecution is seek- ing to consolidate the cases. Lucas could be sentenced to death if convicted of multiple murder. The appeal, which involved the 1984 cases, contended Lucas was arrested on the pretext of having committed a minor traffic violation in December 1984 so that police could get a photograph of him to use in the murder investigation. Lucas' lawyers contended both the traffic procedure and the arrest were invalid and that all result- ing evidence should be thrown out. Defense lawyers also objected to proceedings in which two newsmen from KGTV Channel 10, assignment editor J.W. August and reporter Steve Fiorina, were allowed to testify in the judge's chambers, with defense lawyers excluded, about their contacts with law e forcement offi- cers in the case

To do it, the Wolfpack needed superb efforts from East County graduates Don Angotti of Grossmont High, Dale Henson and Jeff Barry of Santana and Rob Sharp of Valhalla. An~otti, Henson and Sharp were a collective 5 tur 23, and Barry was ineffective in his 31/., innings of pitching in Saturday's first game of a scheduled doubleheader.

One of the biggest health care trends in the 1980s is home care. •1rs the wave of the future; lzu said, citing spiraling hospi- tal costs. "Patients are leaving hospitals sooner, and they' re going home sicker. Skilled home-care nurses are necessary.· Educational opportunities for nurses are ' growing as well, lzu feels.

The group of medical professionals un~ dergoing some of the greatest change is physicians. According .to Dr. Richard Butcher, president-elect of the San Diego_ Medical Society, expectations are just not the same for new medical school gradu- ates. The concept of a doctor in business for himself is disappearing, he said. "HMOs and Kaiser-type hospitals, where a doctor is on salary, are the newer trend," Butcher said. • In response to this, many physicians are forming corporations of their own. The one-person, general practitioner's office is increasingly uncommon, he said. Can a physician make a good living in America's Finest CiW and its surrounding county? "I tend to think so," Butcher said. A new doctor might choose to generalize a~ first, to establish himself before he is limited to a specialization, he said. The medical profession - in San Diego and nationwide - is changing. As a result, it offers some of the more challenging and important career opportunities of the 1980s. ·

cal professionals and lab technicians: Smith also feels sports medicine is an expanding field. . Carol Payne, president of Carol's Medi- cal Personnel in La Mesa and Enc initas, said she's particularly impressed with North County's growth. "When I·decided to open a second office, 1-chose Encinitas over the South Bay," Payrie said. Many doctors are opening branch offices in North County as well, she added. · Though the positions aren't as high pay- ing as other medical careers, support and clerical personnel are still in demand, Payne said. An office receptionist with no experience, but with some knowledge of medical insurance, can expect an hourly wage ·of about $5, according to Payne. But a medical office manager, with about live years' combined experience, can make up · to $20,000 a year. •Doctors .are beginning to realize they have to pay their office people a decent salary," Payne said.

, Nurses without advanced degrees can expect employment opportunities, though not the same growth potential, said a spokeswoman fol the Palomar-Pomerado Hospital District. The district starts li- censed vocational nurses•at a salary of . $17,000 a year. while clinical staff nurses in the intensive care unit start at $25,000, the spokeswoman said. Nurse practitioners are also in increas- ing demand in out-patient and health-main- tenance organizations. Sheri Smith, a spokeswoman with UC- San Diego Medical Center, said new medi- cal technolqgy is creating new heaith-care careers. ·Radiology technicians and nurse practi- tioners who have had experience in prima- ry care are much in demand,wshe said. . Nurse/midwives are becoming increas- ingly important. The government-spon- sored, countywide Comprehensive Peri- Natal Program, for low-income expectant mothers, uses nurse/midwives exclusively in hospital deliveries, with physicians close tiy for emergencies, Smith said.
