Fletcher escaped in Dade City in January 1995 after picking the locks on his handcuffs and leg shackles while a Sheriffs Office van traveled from the county jail in Land O'Lakes to court. He was about to stand trial on armed burglary charges in Pasco.

He had already been convicted and sentenced to 17 years in another burglary. The burglary, police said, was part of a series of crimes that ended with a killing in Lakeland. In April 1993, Fletcher and his cousin, Doug Porter of Lakeland, were charged in the slaying of Nelson Medina Oliveras. Porter was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole for 25 years. Porter identified Fletcher as the trigger man.

Fletcher's murder trial was to have begun in July. Before Fletcher's escape, the Pasco Sheriff's Office received a tip he would make a break for it. Afterward, three sheriff's deputies were suspended for moving him without enough manpower and not properly securing him with restraints.

11, 1995, police said. Fletcher, now 26, was facing the death penalty in the April 1993 killing of a Lakeland man during a botched robbery. He eluded a search since then, in part with the help of family and friends who gave him money and helped him buy a car, police said. On Monday, he told Delaware police he drifted north in early 1995, stopping in their state when he met a female friend. He moved in with her in the Holly Hill Mobile Home Park outside Smyrna, population 5,000.

There Fletcher lived under an alias, worked maintenance jobs and didn't cause any problems, said Defective Ronald Durham of the Delaware State Police. "He didn't want to draw attention to himself," Durham said. Fletcher was identified through his fingerprints. During an interrogation, he did not say whether he would fight extradition to Florida, Durham said. His friend will not be charged because she was unaware of Fletcher's gust Alleman, 55, sold five prescriptions for $100 each from his home at 225 Country Club Drive, No.

"To have the congregations of other denominations here, to have all these students from different schools here I never expected this," said Rabbi David Levin, 52, who oversees the synagogue inside the center.

"We've turned a negative into a very big positive. "I'm on a spiritual high." The SS symbol representing the Schutzstaffel, the elite police and military units of Nazi Germany was the first of the graffito to go. The crowd cheered Levin and the Rev. William Van O'Linda of King of Glory Lutheran Church in New Port Richey as the pair scrubbed the SS symbol off the synagogue's beige wall, leaving behind a blue smudge. Grabbing buckets, brushes and towels, the crowd joined in.

Van O'Linda said the need to right a wrong brought him out to the center, along with the concern of his two sons, 14-year-old Matthew and 15-year-old Billy, for the safety of their Jewish friends at River Ridge Middle. "We saw what happened, and we wanted to try and correct it," Van O'Linda said. "And my sons go to school with children from this temple. They wanted their friends to know they care about them." The Rev. Roger Ganzel, 56, pastor of All Saints Lutheran Church in Hudson, said his congregation stood against whoever desecrated the synagogue.

"We just wanted to support the Jewish community," he said, "and also to demonstrate against this atrocity." PORT RICHEY Armed with brushes, soap and a pressure sprayer, friends and strangers renewed a Jewish congregation's faith in its community Monday. About 50 people of various denominations gathered in front of the West Pasco Jewish Community Center on Scenic Road to clean up after vandals desecrated the center Friday night. Feces were left in front of the main doorway, and swastikas, Aryan symbols and white power slogans were sprayed in blue and red paint inside the doorway, on windows and on columns near the entrance. "This is unbelievable," said Adelle Spigelman, 67, president of the congregation. "There's just been an outpouring of love and care that has been shown to us by our neighbors, by other churches, by everybody.

"I feel that what was done in hate ended up backfiring and bringing this community together." No one has been arrested, center officials said. The Pasco Sheriff's Office is investigating. Students from River Ridge Middle, Hudson Middle, Hudson High and Ridge-wood High pitched in to clean up, as did congregation members, neighbors from nearby West Port, strangers and parishioners of local churches.

lilakely (Clearwater, N. Pinellas, S. Pasco, Tampa area) MEDICAL word for him, so if there's any sign that can be however loosely related, I use that," says Sea Sanderson, the district interpreter who will work with him at the national bee. "Most of the time, there are no signs for those words, so I have to show the word on my mouth and tell him what it means." Sanderson mouths the words to Jimmy, employing techniques used by sign language interpreters. For instance, he cannot lip-read the letter because making that sound places the tongue behind the teeth and so Jimmy cannot see the letter.

To help him know she is sowing him a word with that letter, she deliberately places her tongue in front of her teeth. He won the regional Suncoast Spelling Bee, sponsored by the Times, by correctly spelling "quadrilateral." Sanderson showed him the word on her mouth and made the sign for "four-sided," and Jimmy spelled it correctly. For "malaria," she gave him the signed "mosquito-sickness disease." Sanderson said she wishes that Jimmy would ask the bee judges for definitions more often before launching into the spelling. Though interpreting for him during bees has been a challenge, it hasn't been out of the ordinary. "You have to tell the kids things all of the time in school without giving it away," Mrs.

McCarthy said, prompting a nod from Sanderson. Jimmy says he hopes that his participation in the national bee will send a message to other deaf people. "They can do just as much as hearing people can. They are just not trying if they try, they can." Attention Delicit Disorder-7112; Conctission-7113; Migraine Headaches-7114; Hammond Hammond, formerly a teacher's aide at LaVoy Exceptional School, was convicted in 1994 of five charges ranging from sexual battery to a lewd and lascivious act on a child. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, but an appeals court ordered a new trial last year, saying the trial judge had made multiple errors.

Monday, Hammond agreed to plead guilty to one count of a lewd and lascivious act on a child and one count of sexual battery on a mentally defective person. An earlier attempt to resolve the case prior to trial had fallen through over whether Hammond would be allowed to plead no contest instead of guilty. Lavoy teacher John Michael Conklin, Hammond's former roommate who admitted to bringing young men home for sex, pleaded guilty to charges in 1994 and was sentenced to six years of house arrest.

He abandoned his game and ran to the street to break up the fight, but it cost him his life.

Gonzalez-Diaz, 24, died after he was beaten and run over by one of the men, Hillsborough sheriff's officials said. Ramon Alfredo Diaz, 25, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Gonzalez-Diaz's death. Initially, authorities believed a man had been accidentally hit by a car at his labor camp on U.S. 301 about 2 a.m., said sheriff's spokesman Jack Espinosa. But after talking with witnesses, they discovered that Gonzalez-Diaz tried to break up the fight between the men when he was killed.

After beating him, Diaz, who is no relation to the victim, jumped into his 1978 Ford truck and ran over Gonzalez-Diaz as he lay on the ground. Then, authorities said, he backed over the man. Diaz was held Monday night in the Hillsborough County Jail without bail. lives in Spring Hill in Hernando County but goes to Pine View in Pasco because it offers a special program for hearing-impaired youngsters. The sixth-grader and his family will travel at the end of May to Washington, D.C., where Jimmy will compete in the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee.

Other hearing-impaired youngsters have competed in the bee, but Jimmy is the first profoundly deaf competitor. With both hearing aids in, he can detect some sound, but not much so he also will be the first competitor to use an interpreter. These firsts have given him a measure of fame. He and his parents were in Hollywood, last week to tape a segment of the Fox network's Mike Maty. That show is supposed to air May 24.

Jimmy also was interviewed by Channel 8. Everyone has wanted to know how in the world she conveys the words Jimmy must spell without giving them away.
