After city officials review the ordinance, a workshop will be scheduled to discuss It with city officials. Wildwood officials had asked the commission last week to create a special water and sewer district at the junction of Interstate 75 and State Road 44. The city wants to extend its water and sewer service to about 60 businesses in the area but wants a guarantee the businesses will connect to the line when it's finished.

The commission responded by asking County Attorney Randall Thornton to draft a county-wide ordinance that could be used for other cities interested in extending their service lines. The ordinance will require businesses in the county to connect to city water and sewer lines if made available to them. Groups urge protection for Withlacoochee From Page I showed high levels of coliform bacteria, which is an indication of the presence of fecal matter. "The coliform tests were high enough that had there been a public beach, it would have had to be closed," Alexander said. Before a decision on the designation can be reached, the Environmental Regulation Commission must find that the river has exceptional ecological and recreational significance.

Those factors must outweigh development rights. About 250 bodies of water in Florida, mostly in state parks or national refuges, have been designated since the program began in 1979. Two other workshops on the Withlacoochee designation will be held Sept. 7 at the Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness and Sept 8 at the Pasco County Courthouse in Dade City. Both meetings begin at 7 p.m.

Life-saving By SUSAN SNYDER Tribune Staff Writer TAMPA Maggie Chapman returned home Tuesday from the heart institute at St Joseph's Hospital and made local medical history. The 27-year-old Tampa woman is the first patient in the hospital's newly opened electrophysiology program to undergo an intricate surgical procedure to correct a life-threatening heart disorder called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. A person with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, or WPW, has an extra electrical pathway in the heart, said Dr. James Irwin, the program's director. The disorder causes an extremely rapid heartbeat, which in Chapman's case resulted in recurring bouts of nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath.

Despite taking medication daily, the attacks would strike Chapman without warning, forcing her to seek the nearest emergency room for treatment.

EPA is allowing 90 days for public comment; the comment period will end Oct 6. The proposed standard would cover workers in nurseries, forests and greenhouses, as well as farms, and contains wide-ranging provisions on training, notification and decontamination. A synopsis of the proposed measure includes the following: Scope Owners, lessees and operators of the above types of establishment and their contractors, workers and supervisors have duties and are subject to enforcement action for violations. Family farms those with no employees are exempt However, all users of pesticides must conform to product-specific requirements on the labeling. Training Handlers, including mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers, disposers and cleaners, must be trained by certified applicators or trainers of certified applicators.

States may establish further qualifications for training and may request exemption from the trainer qualifications requirement. Notification The act takes a four-tiered approach to notification, including oral warnings, treated area posting, central notice board and information on request Oral warnings must be given to workers about all pesticide applications to be made and fields still under re-entry intervals. The latter is not required for greenhouses and nurseries. Central notification must contain emergency medical information and a training placard. Posting of specified signs on treated areas is required for pesticides with reentry intervals greater than 48 hours.

It is required for all pesticides in greenhouses and nurseries. Reentry Interim reentry intervals Obituaries Citrus HELEN ADABODY, 66, of Inverness died Tuesday.

M.S. Glatterer the surgeon who will perform the intricate task. "After surgery, most people do very well," Glatterer said. "It is 98 percent effective in treatment with no more medication and no more (possibility) of sudden death." St. Joseph's program took 10 years of planning, Irwin said.

It offers a host of other advanced meth-ods for diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders for which people previously had traveled to other states. "I'm lucky to be alive, and I'm lucky to be able to do this," Karaphillis said. "I can't tell you how glad I was to be able to be here and not have to go out of state." Chapman's heart would beat 150 to 180 times per minute during the attacks, Irwin said. If the young woman had been involved in some type of athletic activity during an attack, her heart rate could have reached 250 beats per minute, he said. Normally, a person's heart beats about 70 times per minute.

"It feels like your heart is going to beat out of your chest," said Chapman, who entered the hospital for treatment Aug. 17. Chapman, a fourth-year apprentice for a Largo electrical company, said her employer grew weary of her frequent, unexpected visits to hospital emergency rooms.

Joseph's just as Tarpon Springs resident Norma Karaphillis will do Thursday. Clad in a pink housecoat with an intravenous tube attached to her left arm, Karaphillis attended a Tuesday news conference at the hospital and described a 1982 attack that almost claimed her life. The 57-year-old woman said her heart beat so fast it quit as she lay in the Tarpon Springs General Hospital emergency room. Using electrically charged paddles placed on her chest, physicians revived her. But the attacks didn't stop, she said.

She suffered another near-fatal attack in January. Urged by her husband and three children, Karaphillis said she decided to undergo the surgical procedure that she hopes will correct her marijuana to informant about 10 grams of marijuana on April 4.
