Helen Newman, a masseuse operating from a home and office on Highway 441, dodged a toppled parkway tree that grazed her arm during a storm. Earlier a car repair and gasoline siphoning hinted at threats, and a ghostly presence under the tree yielded a four foot alligator rescued by Work Supt. Rollin Javens and released in Lake Dora.
