ANGELA PETERSONTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL DAVTONA BEACH Beach driving opponents hate it. Beach driving supporters don't much care for it, either. But on Wednesday, a compromise plan that would divide Volusia County beaches into driving and no-driving zones took a major step toward final approval.

A supervisor for the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service granted what amounts to preliminary approval for the plan submitted by Volusia County to bolster protection for sea turtles and other plants and wildlife on beaches. David Hankla, field supervisor for Fish Wildlife's Jacksonville office, issued a statement saying there are no "outstanding issues" that would prevent his agency's endorsing the county's plan. Although formal approval isn't expected until mid-November, Volusia officials hope Wednesday's announcement will convince a federal judge to postpone or dismiss outright a lawsuit filed against the county over sea turtle protection. "It sounds like we are where we want to be," Volusia County Council Chairwoman Pat Northey said.

"I think we're going to be able to manage the beach the way we want to." Volusia officials began developing the habitat conservation plan last year after New Smyrna Beach residents Shirley Reynolds and Rita Alexander sued the county.

He could have gotten up to four years in prison.

It was Fulirman who found one of the most critical pieces of evidence the bloody glove in Simpson's yard. But the detective became the prosecution's biggest embarrassment after his past statements came to light, and the defense successfully built a case on its claim that Simpson was the victim of a racist frame-up led by Fuhrman. Fuhrman was charged with lying on March 15, 1995, when he agreed under cross-examination from F.
