2-B THE TAMPA TRIBUNE-TIMES, Sunday, March 7, 1982 Dear Sir: You Are Invited To A Trial By Jury. By TOM WARD Tribune Staff Writer CLEARWATER Kevin James Reilly has been sending out some special invitations to his trial here. The RSVP invitations, addressed to news editors, read: "Dear Sir. "You or your representative are cordially invited to attend the trial by jury of Kevin James Reilly at 8:30 a.m. on Monday the Fifteenth of March 1982.

"Trial will be held in Courtroom 315 Court Street, Clearwater, Florida. "Mr. William Gross, representing the State of Florida, will once again attempt to convict me on two charges. "Mr. James A.

Helinger representing me, will prove my innocence. "Your presence will be greatly appreciated. "Thank you for your time." (Signed), Kevin James Reilly. Also included in the invitation is a self-addressed envelope complete with a stamp that says "Love," and a small slip of paper saying "We (will; will not) attend your trial." Reilly was charged with criminal mischief and aggravated assault with a vehicle last April 23, accused of becoming involved in a shoving match with two former coworkers that ended in a scene that could have come from a demolition derby at a Pinellas County intersection. Reilly is accused of ramming his car into one of the men's cars.

One of Reilly's closest friends said Reilly is convinced he's innocent and wants people to know it. "He just wanted to say, 'Look what's happening in said Reilly's friend, Beverly Schultz. "He's written about 60 newspapers and magazines across the country and he's re ceived a few replies," Schultz said. "He got a call from Houston and they said they were sending somebody." At the Pinellas County Courthouse in Clearwater, Reilly's invitations are not a popular subject. "We're receiving a lot of calls," said one secretary at the State Attorney's Office.

"The guy must have written at least 101 people." According to testimony by Pinellas deputy Randy Fitzgibbon, the incident which resulted in Reilly's arrest occurred on Park Street North on April 23 when he became involved in a dispute with two brothers, Michael and Bryan Lovett. Reilly had previously been fired from Lovett's Bakery, according to testimony taken in depositions on the case, because he was allegedly dating an employee's wife. Reilly, according to deputy Fitzgibbon, got into his vehicle and drove across the southbound (lane) from the west side across the median, over the median, striking Mr. (Michael) Lovett's vehicle and then backed off away from the vehicle and struck it again, in fact, a third time." Reilly was also charged with attempting to run down Michael Lovett after Lovett jumped out of his car.

Everything else was left in the Safis' house. Najiba Safi's role included making trips to the bank and withdrawing small amounts of cash until the family's money was depleted. Most of the money was eventually turned over to a merchant a stranger who was sympathetic to their cause and who promised to transfer the money into a bank outside the country. The Safis said turning over the family savings to a stranger was an act of faith. The merchant kept his promise.

A two-day holiday gave the Safis a perfect opportunity to flee Kabul. A large family leaving by airplane wouldn't draw much attention on a holiday.

$49 to $69 to the U.S. Catholic Conference for making possible our trip here," Safi said. For now, the Safis are adjusting to life miles away from their home. They want to work. Ghulam Safi's resume includes two pages of managment and finance experience.

Najiba Safi wants to work in education. Their children are in school, from elementary to Hillsborough Community College. And the Safis are coping with the fact that their parents still do not know where they are. When Najiba Safi talks about seeing her parents for the last time, her large dark eyes turn red and fill with tears. She describes the separation as a tearing of her heart.

Someday the Safis want to return to freedom in Afghanistan. "Whenever Afghanistan is liberated and a democratic government is established, I would like to go back and serve my country," Safi said. "I have aspirations to serve my country." Safi says for now he wants to spread the message of his country's needs. "Ultimately the Russians want to occupy parts of Pakistan and reach to the Indian Ocean and the gulf," Safi said. "But they will not succeed if one person is alive in Afghanistan.

They (Afghans) will fight for the cause of their country and Islam. "The prolongation of the war will more deeply awake world opinion about the Soviet atrocities. This very occupation of Afghanistan by Soviets has aroused many Muslim countries and non aligned countries to think more of the Western type of friendship because they see what Russia is doing. "But the mujahedeen are in need of weapons, especially anti-helicopter and anti-tank," Safi said. "People are ready to sacrifice but with empty hands, it is impossible.

"The only weapons they have are ones they take from dead Russian soldiers," he said. Najiba Safi describes her countrymen's spirit with an anecdote, the story of a poor, elderly Afghan woman who fled to Pakistan with nothing but her life. When a British journalist asked her what she needed, the woman replied "A weapon." relative's wedding if questioned. Dressed in village attire, the Safis boarded a plane in Kabul and headed for a province closer to the Pakistan border. Najiba Safi said she "acted like a sick, very old lady" to avoid suspicion.

Her three daughters were veiled. Ghulam Safi wore a turban and their 10-year-old son was dressed like a village boy. Eventually, their paths to freedom split. The mother and her 16-year-old daughter Zerka left for the border with mujahedeens. "We never knew them but we had to trust them," Najiba Safi said as she leaned forward on her sofa and gestured with her hands.

"We lived two nights and three days in the desert with refugees. They had lost everything and just dug out places in the sand. "I didn't sleep all the long nights. On one morning, we saw in our own eyes one Russian helicopter bombarding a whole village just a mile or two away. They killed everyone in the village, even the children.

"I thought they would bomb us next. I thought it was the last minute of our life," she said. Ghulam Safi hid in the bottom of a melon truck. The truck, driven by mujahedeens posing as merchants, was stopped several times by soldiers but allowed to pass as it headed toward the desert near the border. When the sky turned black on July 4 and between 30-minute checks by Russian and government soldiers, the Safis mounted motorcycles driven by mujahedeens and crossed into Pakistan.

Ghulam Safi was first, followed by his son and his three daughters. Najiba Safi was the last to cross the border. The family was reunited in Pakistan, where they stayed until Feb. 8, 1982. During their stay, Tampa resident Cathy Michelich was working through the U.S.

Catholic Conference to sponsor her former FSU friend Najiba Safi and her family in the United States. The final flight to freedom took about 60 hours. "We owe her a lot," Safi said about. Michelich, a Jim Walter Corp. employee.

"She saved our lives." "We are so grateful to the United States and From Page IB show," said one potter with an "Exhibit Being Judged' sign anchored by one of her works. "But when a judge stops and actually picks something of yours, it adds mystery and suspense to the show for you." For the Gasparilla Sidewalk Art Festival Committee, the crucial decision of the day came at a.m. when members had to decide whether the rains that had pelted. Tampa most of the previous night would continue during Saturday. "This morning no one believed us that it wouldn't rain," said Claudette McKenna, the committee's secretary.

"But it's not raining and it's wonderful. However, we did pay for the space in the parking garage, just in case we had to move the show." Instead of rain, the sun broke through the clouds for part of the day. A breeze helped to moderate the muggy weather. Not until the day's exhibiting was nearly over did a little rain begin to fall. By then most of the day's sales had been made.

The U.S. Weather Service predicted an 80 percent chance of rain today as the show continues at 10 a.m. Eastlake Mall 621-8911 Lakeland 683-5921 St. Petersburg 898-21 71 Clearwater 796-2357 Port Richey 849-8438 Tampa Bay Center 877-6161 Pinellas Square Mall 522-551 7 m. 1 ft mi ion fir iisfli-pim Wnii ir-sMeBPsiatsiidmiTr Legislature MHmMMA 1 Individually Custom Designed tmm ForAComoleteSet DENTURES General Dentistry One Day Prices Start At 1 Free Adjustments for 30 days.

They have insisted for months that each issue is separate. But in the final crush of business, it will all come together. The issues will be inseparable, parts of each will be traded off for concessions on the other issues. In reapportionment, the House clearly has the upper hand.

Its plan, not the Senate's, is the one that was drafted after extensive public hearings. There is a conviction held by many House leaders that if the House and Senate can't agree on a bill, the Supreme Court would side with the House redisricting lines. But on insurance, if there is no agreement, the Senate has the upper hand. That's because with no agreement the insurance code would simply sunset, go out of existence. That's precisely what Barron says he wants.

So House leaders may have to make concessions to the Senate on reapportionment in order to win some of what they want on insurance. That leaves the third ball. The state budget year doesn't start until July. The Legislature never seems to do anything before it has to especially this far before it has to. That's one ball that many here expect will stay in the air a few more months.

As in such previous launches, which occur about three to four times a year, the Air Force made no pre-launch announcement and released only a brief statement afterward. "A U.S. Air Force Titan 3C, standard space launch vehicle, was successfully launched from complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on March 6, 1982, at 2:25 p.m. EST.

The launch was carried out by the 6553th Aerospace Group," said the announcement read by Dottie Ellingson, an Air Force spokeswoman. Veteran space observers said such military satellites are used in the Air Force's early warning and surveillance network around the globe. It is known that the military satellites are capable of photographing objects on the ground the size of golfballs. The Titan 3C is the largest and most powerful rocket in the Air Force arsenal. jW PPCT1 tWjpMI Efl wlaXMitXy A.Lyj GIN IMP.
