An alarm tlsutl tka lives alone, but his brother-in-law Maurice Williams, 19, joined him in his stakeout. "I just took off today so I'd be sure to catch whoever was fiddling around my house. If they came back twice, they'd be back again until their luck ran out," he said. Jones' fiance drove his car to her job so it would appear that no one was home.

About 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jones was on the telephone when Williams "kept telling me that he heard something at a window." When he went to a bedroom window to check out the noise, he saw two teenagers. "They were beating on the den window and they had snatched the screen from the window," he said. Jones and Williams ran outside, and Williams caught one boy near the window. The other boy ran, jumping a fence as he headed to a canal behind the house.

When Jones pointed a gun at him and ordered him to stop, he did. Jones said that was the only time the .32 caliber pistol was pointed at anyone. He said he placed it on a counter once he was back inside. After the youths were apprehended, Jones and his brother-in-law took them into the house "and I called the police like a nice guy," Jones said. "I made them lay face down while I was on the telephone talking to the sheriffs office." It took about six minutes for an Orange County deputy to respond, he said.

Two boys, ages 14 and 16, were arrested and charged with burglary, said Joyce Drazen, spokeswoman for the sheriffs department. Both were released to the custody of their parents, she said.

During the first burglary, the screens on the patio door and another den window were ripped. "I don't feel like a hero, but I just wanted to get the job done and over with," Jones said. Willie Jones came home from work Monday and Tuesday to find that burglars had broken into his house. He had a hunch they'd show up again Wednesday. They did.

But this time, Jones was fed up, and he was prepared. The 25-year-old Roto-Rooter employee stayed home from work Wednesday to see if someone would try to break into his house at 409 Wilmer Ave. in Orlo Vista, for the third straight day. Jones Legislature may end fight over eye care Ophthalmologists'oppose drug rights for optometrists By Rosemary Goudreau and John Van Gieson yv 1 tx: OF THE SENTINEL 8TAFF 4V2 feet of car trouble Look under hood finds reptile on the radiator By Ilene G. Reid OF THE SENTINEL STAFF WINTER PARK Brad Gwinn's Buick just needed some routine maintenance.

Then the snake got in the way. A 4 -foot reptile of an unidentified variety greeted Gwinn and his mechanic, Dick Thomas, when they lifted the car's hood Tuesday morning. "It was sitting up there like a hood ornament," coiled atop the radiator "with its head up and its tongue popping out," Gwinn said. Gwinn thought Thomas was pulling a prank. Thomas said he didn't even see it at first.

But once they realized it wasn't a joke, they got out of the snake's way. Others at Lee Road Amoco in Winter Park gathered around to see what the commotion was about. The discovery apparently startled the snake, which slithered down behind the car lights and An ongoing fight between Florida's optometrists and ophthalmologists is about to enter another rouna in the Legislature, with each side hoping to deliver the final blow on who can prescribe drugs for eye care. Each profession claims to have powerful legislators in its comer. Of the two groups, optometrists have contributed more generously to election campaigns of those who support their cause.

The issue is simple: Ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat eye diseases, do not want optometrists prescribing or dispensing drugs. They say that only doctors should be allowed to prescribe drugs. BOBBY COKERSENTINEL Please see snake, c-6 Snake-remover Henry Lanier displays the slithery answer to Brad Gwinn's engine problem.

"We believe the people of the state of Florida are adequately served as far as medical eye care by the ophthalmologists of Florida." Optometrists, who are not medical doctors but who have graduated from a four-year optometry college, say they have dispensed drugs for years without harming anyone.

They say the ophthalmologists are afraid of losing money from patients referred by optometrists for treatment. The conflict began in 1975 when the Florida Board of Optometry ruled that optometrists could use drugs to diagnose and treat eye problems. Soon after, the state Board of Pharmacy ruled that no pharmacist could fill prescriptions written by optometrists. Board members said the state law on the practice of optometry would have to be amended before they would feel comfortable filling those prescriptions. The battle went to the Legislature in 1980, where it died before final action was taken.

In the meantime, Harry Landrum, lobbyist for the optometrists, said the pharmacists' action never prevented optometrists from prescribing drugs. "They're dispensing from their office," Landrum said. "They'll say, 'Here's enough to last you the week and how to apply "That's how they've been doing it for years. As long as the state regulatory body says they can do it, they can do it," he said.

Trezona said he was so upset he wouldn't have thought to make the call. "If Mike wasn't there, Richard probably wouldn't have made it," Trezona said. "I didn't know what to do.

Mike Treat really saved the day, I'll tell you." Treat, who declined the hero role and was reluctant to talk about the incident, said he had taken a paramedics course a few years ago. "I just sat with them (Trezonas) and told them what to do," Treat said. "I don't feel I did anything anyone else wouldn't have done. It took a couple of little breaths and he was right back.

The baby apparently leaned forward in the tub and swallowed some water, he said. Trezona said his wife heard a "banging and thrashing" and dashed back to the bathroom where Richard was slumped in the tub. "I was watching television with Mike when she came running into the room screaming," he said. "She handed me the baby and he was blue and purple. I laid him in the bed but didn't know what to do.

In the Navy I learned CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) but I didn't know what to do with an infant." Trezona said Treat told him how to use short breaths "so I wouldn't blow his little lungs out.

LAKELAND As expected, the Florida Citrus Commission agreed Wednesday to pay the Tangerine Sports Association $250,000 a year for five years for sole sponsorship of the annual Tangerine Bowl college football game in Orlando. By an 11 to 1 vote, the commission agreed to the $1.25 million commitment that will change the game's name to Florida Citrus Bowl in time for the 1983 contest The sports association name also will change, becoming the Florida Citrus Sports Association.

Most of the commission's annual sponsorship fee will go toward raising the game's payoff to $1 million for competing teams. That ante ranks seventh in the nation in payoffs, based on 1982 bowl records. Citrus Commissioner Richard Graves voted against the The Rolling Stones' two sold-out concerts at the Tangerine Bowl in October 1981 helped paint the stadium's financial books black to the tune of $150,000 in 1981-82, a city audit says. "It's the best year we ever had," said Lynn Thompson, director of Orlando Centroplex, the agency that operates the city-owned T-Bowl. The stadium makes money from rental and parking fees and gets a percentage of concession sales.

The stadium made about $150,000 in the last fiscal year after covering expenses of $800,000, Thompson said. The surplus was used to help pay off $7 million in bonds used to improve the stadium in 1976. Orlando pays $300,000 a year toward retiring the bonds and Orange County pays $200,000. The surplus means Orlando had tctpay less out of its general fund, WCMATO WELLS SENTINEL Paying final respects The last fiscal year, which ran from October 1981 through September 1982, was the third year since the city took over the T-Bowl from a state authority six years ago that revenues outpaced expenses. The stadium cleared about $45,000 in 1980-81 and "a few thousand dollars" the year before, Thompson said.

Orlando made about $250,000 from the Rolling Stones concerts, which drew 120,000 fans over two days. Two other concerts, a March 1942 show starring Foreigner and a September 1982 show featuring Fleetwood Mac, earned the city $150,000 after expenses. During the current fiscal year, a Nov. 27 show starring The Who netted the T-Bowl about $140,000, Thompson said, the city's best take yet for a single concert. The next scheduled concert is an April 23 appearance by Journey.
