THE DOUBLE 331 University 846-3755 HOURS: Mon.-Fri. 7 a.m.-IO p.m. Sat. 9 a.m.-6 p.m. WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — The Florida citrus harvest resumed on a limited basis Tuesday in groves certi fied by state officials to be free of cit rus canker, a contagious bacterial disease discovered in Florida last month. On Sept. 14, the U.S. Department of Agriculture banned shipment of Florida citrus to other citrus-produc ing areas. On Monday, State Agri cultural Commissioner Doyle Con ner, moving to stop the spread of the disease within the state, halted intra state shipments to marketplaces — including popular roadside stands — and voided all harvest licenses. However, Conner said new li censes will be issued as groves are found to be free of the highly conta gious disease that kills trees but is harmless to humans. Inspectors moved into the groves Monday and began issuing the new licenses within hours. Authorities said the harvest ban would have little effect on the industry. Inspectors gave a priority to lemon and lime groves in southern Florida, where the harvest was in full swing when the canker outbreak was discovered. A few grapefruit crops and some speciality crops such as tangerines and tangelos are reaching maturity in other areas of the billion-dollar citrus belt and are being re-in spected. Wayne Baggett of the USDA said that three groves are being har vested after being re-certified Mon-_on day, and that 32 fresh fruit packing houses were in compliance with handling regulations, with 15 of those in operation. Zeke Zaharako, vice president of J.R. Brooks & Sons, which operates lime groves and a packing house south of Miami, Tuesday said the company’s groves were re-certified Monday afternoon. “We’re picking those re-certified groves today (Tuesday),” Zaharako said. “We should be back on sched ule soon. We’re contacting the other groves now to let them know we’re back in business.” Bobby F. McKown, executive vice president of Florida Citrus Mutual, a trade association of growers, said the harvest ban would have little effect most growers because crops reach maturity at varying times ! start of the orange harvest is wet away, McKown said. The early and in id-season or harvest normally begins about 1 and lasts into the sjiring. The vest of late season Valendaoi begins in April and May and into early summer. While citrus growers worked stabilize conditions in Florida,: Senate Appropriations Commitu approved the use of $1 milliontoj celerate a canker research p at the University of Florida. Sa legislators discussed possibleind« nincation of growers for non fected trees destroyed in theeradi lion program. Wrongful death suit fogs Schatz trial United Press International HOUSTON — Concern that a wrongful death suit could harm criminal proceedings on the slaying of postal worker Debora Sue Schatz led the attorney representing the woman’s mother to agree to post pone a deposition Tuesday. Bernard Port whose son, 17, is charged with the letter carrier’s murder, arrived in court from the Harris County Jail Tuesday only to learn the deposition had been post poned. Port and his wife, Odette, have been jailed for nearly two weeks for refusing to testify to the grand jury investigating Schatz’ death. State District Judge Weldon Berry ordered the deposition to be taken and sealed Tuesday in the $5 million civil suit filed by Barbara Schatz. Harris County prosecutors and at torneys for the Ports asked that it be postponed and Schatz’ attorney Joe Jamail temporarily agreed. “The state asked that we delay it because they felt it might jeopardize their position in the criminal case,” Jamail said. The Port’s counsel also asked that it be delayed for the same reason Ja mail gave. “I agreed to study it (the Port’s re- a uest) for a few days,” Jamail said. “I o not want to jeopardize the state’s case or the defendant’s right to a fair trial. I’m willing to listen. I’ll try to be fair about it.” Jamail said he will make a decision during the next two weeks on whether to continue postponing the deposition. The civil suit against the Ports seeks $5 million in actual damages and an unspecified amount of puni tive damages for the deaths of the letter carrier and her father. It con tends Albert Schatz died of a heart attack brought on by grief over his daughter’s June 7 killing. Assistant District Attorney Brad Beers said he opposes the taking of the deposition because the defense in the murder case “then would have the opportunity to take depositions all of our wit witnesses in the crim- from inal case.” “We have better things to do be tween now and the trial than to be taking depositions every day,” Beers said. “It would simply turn into a dis covery tool for the defense.” GQ3 spRim SPRINT AN ENVIRONMENT FOR CAREER GROWItL At GTE SPRINT, you’ll start a career that will grow with you.
