AP 45 OFF Mini Blinds By PAT LEISNER Associated Press NEW PORT RICHEY Karate means a lot to Bill Cady more than the discipline of the sport, the thrill of competition or the mastery of self-defense.

Tin treated as an equal," he explains. Cady is a paraplegic. The 31-year-old Marine Corps veteran has been totally disabled for 11 years, since that horrifying day in Vietnam when he was blown apart by three enemy hand grenades. He is a double amputee, blind and deaf on his right side. His left hand has only partial feeling and his face is scarred from shrapnel.

"I first went into karate for exercise," says Cady, a para-lawyer for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). "But it really built up confidence. It was better than the therapy I got in the hospital. I feel better physically and mentally." He's only been a student a few months, but he works out daily at home in his garage and a couple times a week at the karate school. In his first competition in a field of 40, he placed fifth in kata, or form.

"I felt strange," Cady recalls. "I was the only one in a wheelchair. I told the judges I wanted to register to show them what a man in a wheelchair could do." Cady received a minute-long standing ovation. "It really felt good, like I had accomplished something." That competition was a couple weeks ago in Orlando, but it gave Cady the boost he needed. He's entering more of them.

At work on the mat, he sits in his wheelchair, his eyes fixed, his thoughts deep, his concentration steady. All of a sudden, he spins the chair, locks the brake with a swift movement, lashes out to block a punch or foil a kick, break an assailant's grip or slice an inch-thick board with his hand. "It has built up self-confidence," he says. "Now I know if something happens I can protect myself and my family. Before I was scared.

It was a big question that isn't there now." He has a supportive wife, Judy, whom he met at a DAV conference in Miami in 1976. Her father is a disabled veteran and introduced them. "That was Bill's Waterloo," chuckles Mrs.Cady. "He thought he would never marry. But I told him I could never picture myself married to a disabled person.

And I'm not." They have a 2-year-old daughter, Tara.

"It's given me a great deal of confidence, mobility and security." Pisut moved here from Highland, Ind. five years ago and opened his school in March with his wife, LaVere, who is also a karate instructor. "Let's face it." he says.

"Who needs it more than them? Disabled doesn't mean defenseless." "If a person is willing to try, I'll work with him. I don't care if it takes 10 years," he says. "People defeat themselves. They can lose a battle or a competition and not be defeated." Cady's instructor is Tom Pisut, a sergeant with the Pasco County Sheriffs Office who has his own school, a fifth-degree black belt, 22 years in the sport, a host of awards and a lot of patience. Pisut has other handicapped students.

While playing ten-rfiswith a friend, the friend made a statement that turned out to be, "the straw that broke the camel's back." With sincere concern the friend said, "Mel, at 293 pounds you are going to drop dead, your family is young, you should do something." Mel couldn't deny the truth any longer, the alternatives were bleak! Through another friend, Mel had heard of a program called Professional Diet Clinic.

This particular friend GUARANTEED GOOD FUR FELTS OCALA (AP) Ray Taylor, on trial charged with first-degree murder, denied Saturday that he ever discussed killing wealthy north Florida businessman Eugene Bailey. Taylor is charged with murder in the death of Walter Scott, who died in an ambush Jan. 7, 1977. Bailey was in the same car with Scott at the time of the attack, prosecutors said. The state alleges that Taylor, who later became a former Dayton, prosecuting attorney, plotted to try to kill Bailey because he hoped to represent Bailey's estate in court.

Taylor took the stand in his own defense Friday. He was cross-examined Saturday by prosecutor Al Simmons. "Did you ever discuss Eugene Bailey as far as killing him and representing the estate," Simmons asked Taylor. "Never, never, never did I discuss that," Taylor responded. Simmons then asked the defendant if he also had planned to enter Bailey's home to kill both the businessman and his wife.

"No, sir," said Taylor. Taylor had testified on Friday that he had no interest in the Bailey estate and planned to move from Williston, to Tennessee, to join his estranged wife. Simmons, however, tried to establish that the defendant did have a reason to remain in Williston. Simmons told the court that Taylor had remodeled an office owned by Bailey at his own expense and was going to deduct the cost of the work from the monthly rent over a period of several years. Simmons also said that Taylor potentially was going to do some law work for Bailey and that the businessman had cosigned a $3,700 note for Taylor the day before Scott was killed and Bailey was injured in the ambush.
