Olivia Frymire, 24, of Tallahassee, carries a Taser disguised as a cell phone in her purse. She also makes sure to keep pepper spray with her. "I wouldn't say I was scared after what happened to her, but I'm more cautious," she said.

Nancy Teger, 62, said she doesn't feel panic about the Dunlap homicide just sadness. "You have to be so guarded and so careful these days," she said. to be seen." Some of the fear that is spreading comes from the seeming randomness of the crime, said Ted Chiricos, a criminology professor at Florida State University. Since there is no suspect, people assume Dunlap's killer was someone she didn't know. "Violent crime is much more often between people who know each other, either relations or acquaintances," Chiricos said.

"It's the atypi-cality of it that gets people fearful, what appears to be random violence and what tact with local investigators to see whether the cases are connected. But Sgt. Kenny Hayes, spokesman for Ormond Beach police, said investigators don't think they are. "Just because a case seems similar on the surface doesn't mean that it's related," he said. "(People) see things in the media, and they do Internet searches.

I suppose you could do an Internet search of dismemberment and probably come up with cases all around. Whether they are actually related or not remains them more aware of day-today dangers that people never think about," Nichols said. A man's dismembered body was found Dec. 6 in Tomoka State Park in Volusia County. The Ormond Beach Police Department has been in con gued in support of Rubio's position that it takes legislative action to expand gambling to the Seminole locations from Broward County to Tampa.

Under the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the tribe is a sovereign nation and can have on its lands whatever types of gambling the state permits off the reservations. Attorney Barry Richard, who represents the Seminoles, said no harm would result if the Interior Department approves the compact the State Supreme Court later invalidates it. But he said the treasury would be harmed if the state passes up the $50 million that the tribe is to deliver upon approval of the pact. "I don't question McCol-lum's good faith, but I don't know why the attorney general did this," said Richard. "Even Marco Rubio has said nothing is irretrievable that if it's approved and then the Supreme Court Lottery results FLORIDA LOTTERY WINNING NUMBERS FOR 121907 CASH 3: 1220 -1-24; 1219 -0-0-1 CASH 4: 1220 -3-7-9-3; 1219 -5-9-8-0 FANTASY 5: 1220 7-10-11-18-30; 1219 -33-32-27-34-5 LOTTO: 1219 -13-28-7-3847-16 MEGA MONEY: 1218 -1-9-1242 14 For lottery Information, call (850) rules otherwise, then there is no compact.

If the attorney general is successful, it just delays the receipt of $50 million and maybe it will mean six months or more that the state could have been getting the interest on $50 million." Gary Bitner, a spokesman for the Tribe in Broward County, said "this isn't going to have any impact" on the casinos. "The gaming is months away, regardless of what happens in court," said Bitner. "We're looking at late spring, at the earliest, and maybe late next year before we start." The Interior Department has until Dec. 29 to approve the 25-year compact. McCollum said the federal agency will not act by then which is legally the same as approving the contract.

Therefore, he requested a prehminary injunction barring the pact from going into effect until the issues before the State Supreme Court are resolved.

Fred Nichols MEMORIES From Page 1A Laura Walker said. Walker and Dunlap worked together as nurses at a home health-care agency in Tallahassee in 1993. They kept in touch when Dunlap moved to Pensacola in 2001 for two years to study at a Bible school. Dunlap wanted to learn more about being a missionary, so she went on mission trips to Haiti, Japan and Mexico, friends say. Missionaries in China and India who had heard of her Dec.

1 disappearance had been praying for her safe return, said Cindy Wechter, a former Wakulla County resident who now lives in Kentucky. "Her ultimate desire was that God be glorified through her life," Walker said. Dunlap, friends said, loved helping others and serving God. Dunlap volunteered her services as a nurse for a week in Pensacola in 2004 after Hurricane Ivan hit the coast. "It was carnage," said Sylvia Petrandis, a former co-worker who went with Dunlap and Dunlap's dog, Buddy.

"Cheryl would say, 'Let's just pray our way through It's something I will never forget. She taught me to not focus on TESTING From Page 1A an NCAA policy on academic misconduct. That's why student athletes are being penalized. Administrators were asked to turn in a full report to the National Collegiate Athletic Association the organization through which the nation's colleges and universities govern their athletic programs. "Every student-athlete has been interviewed at the demand of the NCAA at least twice," Wetherell said.

Then, university administrators had to face the harsh reality that the cheating may have trickled over to students who are not athletes at the university. "There was very little evidence that more than two or three (students) had gotten inappropriate assistance," Abele said. But all students involved will fall under the university's academic honor policy, Abele said. That policy could lead to a hearing for the students involved. Honor policy violations include: plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized group work or abuse of academic said.

He added that more courses will start in January. The Dunlap case as well as rumors of a possible serial killer at work has prompted some people to think more about personal safety. "It's obviously making SERVICES Cheryl Hodges Dunlap's funeral will be held Dec. 27 at 2 p.m. at the River of Life Church.

It will be followed by a burial at Whiddon Lake Cemetery in Crawfordville. The family will be receiving friends at the church Dec. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. ourselves. Focus on those who need us." "If she was dealing with a patient, she was not only committed about nursing, but she also cared about these people," Walker said.

"A lot of her nursing was done on the south side of (Tallahassee). She fell in love with them. It was like she became part of their family." She worked at the Camp-bellton-Graceville Hospital in Graceville for two years before accepting a job this fall at the Thagard Student Health Center at Florida State University. "I don't think she had any clue how many lives she touched," Wechter said. "I know what it means to have a real, real friend," Walker said.

"She gave me the opportunity to open up and share my heart in a way I never shared my heart with anyone before. I've lost a mother, father, brother and a sister. I am not a stranger to death. My life, my whole life, will never ever be the same again because she was a part of it." According to FSU, 64 violations of the honor code were recorded in fall 2005; 60 in spring 2006. Sanctions against violators ranged from faculty recommendations, additional course work and reduced grades for course or assignment.

During those two semesters, there has not been a suspension as a result of an honor code violation. Both Abele and Wetherell said administrators believe this incident goes beyond cheating. "It's not quite as simple as some football player cheated on an exam," Wetherell said. Disciplinary action against the tutor had to be considered. The faculty member in charge of the class had to be interviewed.

Abele said the faculty member was not involved and has been, "extremely cooperative." The faculty member continues to teach the class under different regulations. "We're looking at the whole online process," Wetherell said. Abele said a number of things have been done to ensure cheating doesn't take place with such classes. changed the structure of the exam so not everybody sees the same exam," he said. CASINO From Page 1A That issue is pending before the Florida Supreme Court in a suit filed by Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio, It-West Miami, and McCollum said the Interior Department should not let the compact go into effect before the state justices rule.

Rubio's suit says separation-of-power issues preclude Crist from making the agreement alone. Senate President Ken Pruitt, R-Port St. Lucie, has joined in the court challenge. "By this action, the plaintiff expresses no opinion on the issues pending before the Florida Supreme Court," McCollum wrote. "Rather, it is the uncertainty created by the pendency of the speaker's challenge that makes the compact invalid and unpub-lishable as a matter of federal law."

But the attorney general left no doubt where he stands on casinos. "The public has an important and substantial interest in curtailing the proliferation of illegal gambling," he wrote. Crist maintains that he had to reach an agreement with the Seminoles or the Interior Department would have allowed them to expand gambling without paying the state anything. The new contract calls for an immediate $50 million payment upon federal approval of the compact, followed by at least $100 million a year in gambling revenues. "He has an obligation that he wants to pursue, and I respect it," Crist said.

The legislative leaders maintain in their Supreme Court case, set for hearing Jan. 30, that governors may not unilaterally legalize new forms of gambling.
