Chavous II, the son of a retired Louisville police sergeant. Chavous, 21, who will be buried today, was the city's first homicide victim of 1999. He was shot at home at 3 p.m. on West Gaulbert Avenue. The names of the teen-agers were not available last night because they are juveniles.

Both are being held in the Jefferson County Youth Center, said Officer Aaron Graham, a Louisville police spokesman. The boy was charged with murder, burglary, robbery and tampering with physical evidence. The girl was charged with tampering with physical evidence, hindering prosecution, intimidation of a witness and terroristic threatening. Police said Chavous was at home at 1776 W. Gaulbert Ave.

with several people when someone came to the door and Chavous let him in. The person demanded that Chavous "give him everything." Chavous was then shot once in the neck, and he was later pronounced dead at the University of Louisville Hospital. Graham said he did not know whether Chavous knew the teens, or know the relationship between the boy and girl. Graham said witnesses were instrumental in the arrests. By DICK KAUKAS The Courier-Journal An organization established by the Kentucky Hospital Association has received a $74,000 grant to plan programs to improve care for people with terminal and long-term illnesses.

The grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, N.J., will enable the Center for Nursing and Allied Health Professions to set up pilot programs in six nursing homes and to hold public meetings on end-of-life care. The center is part of the hospital association. Cynthia Keeney, a registered nurse who is the center's executive director, said Thursday that the planning effort will focus on ways to educate the public, doctors and nurses on how best to honor people's wishes about health care when they are incapacitated and terminally Keeney said that only a small percentage of people admitted to hospitals in Kentucky have completed "advance directives," in which they outline what kind of treatment they want to receive in the event of terminal illness. Such a directive, for example, might say whether the patient wants to be kept breathing on a ventilator. Keeney said all adults need to complete advance directives, carry them with them, and provide them to immediate family members and to the family doctor so that if there is a health crisis, everyone will know whether the patient wants to receive extraordinary care.

She added that some doctors don't provide adequate pain relief, mainly because they fear that they'll cause addiction or that police will investigate the possibility of over-prescribing narcotics. In most cases, such fears are unwarranted, Keeney said, and the patient's pain should be adequately addressed. The grant will be used to help apply for a three-year grant of $375,000 from the same foundation to implement the programs developed during the planning phase. Kentucky groups and individuals have pledged an additional $300,000 for the effort. Educator Louis H.C.

Laukhuf dies at 88 The Courier-Journal Louis Henry Charles Laukhuf, an administrator with the Jefferson County Public Schools from 1961 to 1973, died yesterday at Hurstbourne Care Centre at Stony Brook. He was 88. Laukhuf, for whom Laukhuf Elementary School on Capewood Drive is named, served as assistant superintendent and associate superintendent of personnel. It was the latter position, to which he was named in 1967, that Laukhuf helped lead the effort to hire more black teachers. In 1972, 143 African-American teachers were hired by the district; only 52 worked in the school system the year before.

Laukhuf stressed the importance of hard work. Speaking in 1961 to 151 Fern Creek High School seniors at Freedom Hall, ne said "there is no substitute for work as a guarantee of happiness and a way of life" and "work is the ballast in human life." Laukhuf served as the superintendent of schools in Maysville, Ky and owned a business there before coming to Jefferson County. He was a native of Brunswick, Ohio, and a member of Fern Creek United Methodist Church. Laukhuf is survived his wife, the former Emily Shelburhe; his son, Walden L. Laukhuf; a daughter, Claire L.

Hundley; sisters Ann Stamm, Mabel Brumley and Rose Craft; and five grandchildren. His funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday at his church, at 6727 Bardstown Road, with entombment at Resthaven Memorial Mausoleum. Visitation will be at Fern Creek Funeral Home, 5406 Bardstown Road, 1-5 p.m. tomorrow.

r. tail lor tro ruirm iiuhM Three day Children's insurance delay to be probed by lawmakers cle arance sale By CHARLES WOLFE Associated Press FRANKFORT, Ky. Some legislators want to know what's holding up a health-insurance program. for children of the working poor. The General Assembly's permanent investigations committee has been told to find out.

Committee members agreed Thursday to a preliminary study of the Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program. The study could turn into a full-blown investigation. Sen. Benny Ray Bailey, D-Hind-man, asked the committee to "determine what's going on over there." Bailey, who is chairman of the powerful Senate budget committee, asked that the inquiry also delve into Gov. Paul Patton's "resistance" to a general expansion of Medicaid.

Kentucky was, the 46th state to have a children's health-insurance plan approved by the federal government, which would put up $50 million a year for five years. The state is to pay $13 million a year. The administration is implementing the program in two parts. In July, Medicaid eligibility was extended to 23,000 children, ages 14-18, in households with incomes up to the federal poverty level $16,450 for a family of four. Rather than expand Medicaid further, Patton ordered subsidized health insurance to be offered to children in families with incomes of up to twice the poverty level.

The administration assumes 55,000 more children would be eligible for subsidized coverage. That part of the program is to begin July 1. That has put Patton at odds with Bailey and others, who wanted to spend all the money on a Medicaid expansion. Patton has said that would have covered fewer children. our original prices 1 'A CRIME REPORTS SEXUAL ASSAULTS Southeastern Jefferson County.
