The Arizona Daily Star reported there were concerns about the district's consultant used for the 2005-06 school year, Jon Slaughter, and "possible links to a vendor he'd recommended for a contract." The vendor was Trillion Partners. "At the time, Slaughter said his recommendations weren't influenced by any vendors, even though an ad for Trillion he recom- mended was on his Web site-at the time," the article states. TUSD officials questioned Slaughter about any possible connections to Trillion.

Armed robbery suspect arrested Witnesses gave officers tag number CHRIS VAN ORMER cvanormer@ chronicleonline.com Chronicle Armed with what appeared to be a pipe, a man entered Rick's Gas Station in Floral City before noon Saturday to rob the clerk, but witnesses helped the sheriff's office with a speedy arrest The suspect, Curtis Dwayne Lewis, 38, was able to obtain cash from the clerk, according to Heather Yates, public information officer for the Citrus County Sheriff's Office. But several witnesses gave a description of the sus- pect and his vehicle, includ- ing the vehicle tag number. Through the tag number, the vehicle was traced to its owner, who explained that she had loaned it to a friend who had returned it at noon, Yates said. With information from the vehicle owner, the suspect was apprehended in Mossy Oak Mobile.Home Park in In- verness. The victim identified the suspect as the person who committed the robbery, Yates said. Lewis was charged with armed robbery. TIES Continued from Page Al consulting company, eRate Consulting Services (ERC), in October 2003. After a competitive bidding process, school officials en- tered into a contract with the Alabama-based Trillion Digi- tal Communications Inc. in January 2004, to improve the school district's wide area net- work (computer network). In February of this year, Cit- rus County school officials were tipped off about missing federal reimbursement checks being deposited into an ERC bank account instead of being sent to school district officials. Soon after, Mike Geddes, County School District direc- tor of Technology and Infor- mation Services, found'an ar- ticle online about Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) while doing research into the ERC debacle. In 2006-07, TUSD officials questioned whether or not their consultant at the time, Jon Slaughter, had financial ties or some kind of relation- ship with their provider at the time, Trillion, according to a few Arizona media sources. By March 13, Geddes had called other school district of- ficials across the state, who were contracted with ERC, to alert them ofthe district's ERC situation and see if they too were using Trillion. His notes were obtained through a pub- lic records request Geddes' "curiosity" about a link between Jon Slaughter Geddes' "curiosity" about a link between Jon Slaughter and Trillion were not confirmed, he said ... and Trillion were not con- firmed, he said; school offi- cials he spoke with said they did not have contracts with both corporations. If a financial link was found between Slaughter and Tril- lion, it could imply an unfair competitive bidding process unbeknownst to school offi- cials. Citrus County School offi- cials are now in the process of terminating their multiyear contract, that was renewable each year up to five years, with Trillion. Geddes said their decision had nothing to do with the re- cent ERC case. School officials began the competitive bidding process for a new wide are network in December 2007. "Our decision to go to a new wide area network (and provider) is mainly driven by our need for more capacity, higher performance and in- creased reliability," Geddes wrote in an e-mail to the Chronicle. School officials hired ERC to handle all tasks associated with the telecommunications reimbursement process for Universal Service Fund pro- gram or "E-rate program." The consultants applied yearly on behalf of the school district for compensation School for a per-cent- age of the dis- began trict ' s telecommuni- comp cations bills; the federal re- bidding bates are for a n called "E-rate discounts." a1 Citrus County resi- netw dents pay Decemb extra fees on UCemb their commu- nications (phone, Internet, etc.) bills that contribute to the federal program. Several re- bate checks for telecommuni- cations services for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 school years never made their way into Citrus County School District offi- cials' hands. officials in the etitive process ew wide tea ork in er 2007.

They held fundraisers, sat by his hospital bed and showered him with get-well wishes, balloons and sup- port. However, Grandinetti said it was her job as his mom to bring her baby back home, to motivate him and nurse him through the illness. "We shaved his head a couple weeks ago," Grandinetti said. Jesse was losing hair from the chemo, so Grandinetti took him out back on the porch and buzzed away. meo Luke's love for Ritchie is evident. He pulls his mother in frequently for kisses and hugs. He half verbalizes, half signs his admiration, teasing her every chance he gets. "He has a good sense of humor and he's very sweet," Ritchie said. Every weekend they head to their- favorite breakfast spots, Jeanette's Little Restaurant in Floral City or Grammy's Soul Food Restaurant in Inverness. It's a mother-son relation- ship based on love and laughter. They play games in the morning before Luke boards the bus for CREST School in , . .,.

Lecanto and on special days they head to Taco Bell, Luke's restaurant of choice. "I think he was a home- coming queen in a former life," Ritchie joked as Luke waved to every single per- son who walked passed him. One moment she makes him giggle, the next she re- minds him to use his words and manners. She has moth- erhood down to an art form. It wasn't always that way. "There have been some very, very stressful times," Ritchie said, especially when Luke was young. He faced many obstacles as a child, was frustrated and exhibited poor behav- ior. Ritchie had to learn pa- tience quickly. She had to figure out how to communi- cate with her child. "I had to drive, a lot. I had to learn about the services available," Ritchie said about her research, ap- pointments and visits. with therapists, doctors and edu- cators. "I have much better in- sight into the world of the disabled," Ritchie said about her learning experi- ence. "In fact, I'm drawn to them. I can see how they're just the same as everybody else." Instead of dwelling on the difficulties of the past, Ritchie focused on Luke's progress. She talked about how well behaved Luke is as a teenager and how she wor- ries less about him then she would an average teenager who could get into drugs, drive recklessly, or get in- volved in other danger- ous situa- It's a mo tions. relatic She is most relati proud of the based on patience she acquired |aug overtime as a mother. Still, Ritchie admits, she tends to be a "helicopter mom," always hovering, pro- tecting and watching over her children, both Luke and her 22-year-old daughter. mom The Floral City mothers want their sons to live ful- filled lives. Ritchie plans to always be Luke's main guardian but not to keep him cooped up at home forever. "He doesn't need to be with his mom his whole ) 1 life," Ritchie said. She will take care of him for a few more years before integrating him into a group home, through a program like the Key Training Cen- ter, where he can socialize, ther-son forge true nshi^p friendships nship and "find love and ways to fill his days, hter. Ritchie said. Grandinetti and Jesse hope for a cancer- free future; it's a day-to-day battle. "But we're going to make it," Grandinetti said. "He's a fighter." "She's always been there for me..now she's going to push me," Jesse said, chok- ing back tears. They paused for a second to console each other. "Stay strong and live life one day at a time," they said, noting the words they live by to get through the rough times.

The report says the new home market will come back slower than resales because of its precipitous drop off, and, though it won't see such a rapid ascent, that market should be back by 2010 to what would have been nor- mal levels without the boom - or about half the peak reached in 2005. This year has been the slowest in memory for The cl builders. "I'd be surprised Statistic! if we hit 500" sin said Citrus 35 sing County Build- home pe ing Associa- tion president April. AI Mike Moberly, of new hous- saw ing starts this year. Only three years ago, there were 3,309 permits. The county's statistics showed 35 single-family home permits for April. April 2005 saw 284. Addi- tions and remodeling per- mits continue to increase as builders and contractors try to hang on in a comatose market While the institute report says the existing real estate market is expected to sub- side a little more in values and then begin to stabilize by this fall, Moberley said new homes starts seem to have already found their nadir in Citrus. "We're already there. I don't see how it could go any lower than it is." He said he agrees with the institute's forecast and noted there has been what appears to be a small amount of activity for some area builders. 'We're starting to finally see a few people coming and kicking thetire's: It's no big rush, but they're checking out the models." "We'll see where prices settle and where the interest rates go," he said and added, "And remember, this will be the first year of the early Baby Boomers." John Osborne, a longtime Citrus builder who is taking over the contracting end of Rusaw Homes, said he, tod, thinks the market will begin to come back slowly this year, but he said it will be a very different market, never like it was at the peak boom. He said it will be what he called "uncharted territory." He added while there was virtually no activity, it was ironically probably the best time anyone could imagine to buy a new home in Citrus. Existing homes On the existing home side, Keller Williams Broker Tomn McMurray, president of the Realtors Association .of Cit- rus County, said a number of the realty brokerage houses were reporting a little more activity re- ounty's cently, which was a good s showed sign in a mar- ket that had e-family slowed to a crawl. rmits for For exam- nril 2005 ple, he said, "The month 284. of March was relatively good for my office - better than last March." Whilhe brokered sales number for the county was 50 less than last year, he said, recent activity in pend- ing sales may indicate that the market is starting to change. "I believe people are starting to do a little investi- gating. You can only pen up demand for so long." He said he feels a cautious optimism that the housing market may be close to its low ebb and may begin to start moving again. He said he expects the year to wind up being better than last year. "Everything is ready. I think it's going to happen." And he too noted that the post WW II genera- tion will begin to play a part in retirement home buying. "All those Baby Boomers are still there," he said. McMurray said that for the last two quarters at least half the. -brokered home sales were $150,000 or less, * Reduces energy costs * Fights mcoic -* No electrical wiring * Installs in 30 minulcs ., : " THE SOLAR GUYS IP lrr nit .nialanb Ic bDear UAk s About'� 866-767-6527 Our Garage 13624 S.

Expect low or no interest fi- nancing as incentive. * Personal income growth continues to decelerate to 3 percent in 2009 but then slowly rises to 5.1 percent in 2010.

About 30 percent was $150,000 to $250,000, and the rest above. The median price for bro- kered homes in April was $124,000, down 8 percent from March and down 11 percent from April 2007. As prices settle into their corrected levels and a more normal market begins to prevail, he said, he expects people's perceptions to change and activity in- crease. Remax Broker Steve Var- nadoe agreed and said he is seeing the same things. "It really seems to have bot- tomed out," he said, adding that all recent indications he is seeing locally in housing resales show an improve- ment. He said there was a consistent increase in pend- ing sales in March and April, with the pending sales matching last April's, the first time that's happened in 26 months, and he is watch- ing May to see if it holds the trend. He said prices are coming back to the pre-boom levels, and with the interest rates, and a 2,700 inventory of sin- gle-family homes on the market, that makes it a good time to buy, and so he is op- timistic the trend will con- tinue. While getting appraisals is a bit harder and lenders are being tighter in the wake of the mortgage market's prob- lems, he thinks things are nevertheless headed in the right direction. Both think the county is positioned for an economic comeback Foreclosures Given the national mort- gage problem and housing sales nosedive that has been gripping the nation, it shouldn't surprise anyone that home foreclosures in Citrus County the first quar- ter of 2008 were three times what they were in 2006. There were 132 homes listed for sale in the Multi- ple Listing Service adver- tised as Foreclosure or Short Sales at the end of April, the latter being sales before a foreclosure that deals with offers less than the mortgage value. The in- ventory for April was 3,403, slightly less than last April's inventory But Realtors dealing with foreclosure sales and bank owned sales say the current conditions are part of the transition that has to take place following the super- heated market that saw prices skyrocket past what would have been the actual market values in a normal market. The too-easy mort- gages were just gas on the fire and the fallout was in- evitable, they say, just more acute. Citrus has been weather- ing that correcting market for two years, they say, and is part of the cycle of the hous- ing market, just a bigger swing this time. One Realtor who deals in bank owned home sales said she viewed it not as a "bad market" but a different market that was all part of the swing back to the normal market. Small businesses And while the foreclosures are expected to continue for a while, local business leaders are beginning to feel opti- mistic the economic down- turn is approaching its low ebb. Citrus County Chamber President Joyce Brancato said the institute forecast fits what she was seeing and hearing about the housing market The hard part for small businesses in the last two years has been just hang- ing on, she said, which is why the chamber has been em- phasizing how critical it is to buy locally.

Reducing fees in the city makes sense, he said, because the cities already have the in- frastructure in place and don't need, like the county, to create a lot of new roads and facilities. That will allow them to at- tract infill development and to allow change of use without onerous fees. With the new vi- sion for the city's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) effort soon to be made public, he said, "We'll have a nice, re- newed vision for downtown." He said good, controlled de- velopment in the city will help all citizens. In addition to a revitalized CRA, the city is investigating the concept of a city marina and is leading an effort to put the Three Sisters property in public hands, something that could add a whole new di- mension to ecotourism in the city. "I'm very optimistic and very bullish for the future," he said. "This is an exciting time for Crystal River." See FORECAST/Page All TA .

Simpson for many years is the latest former crony to write a tell-all book, this one alleging a groggy Simpson, high on drugs, confessed to killing his ex-wife after he was acquitted. Mike Gilbert also claims he helped his former friend wiggle out of the mur- der charges by suggesting how to bloat his hands so they wouldn't fit the noto- rious bloody gloves. Gilbert's book, "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Re- gret and Remorse," is due in stores Monday. It was released to The Associ- ated Press in advance. He said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brent- wood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife's condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive." "Nothing more needed to be said," Gilbert writes. "O.J. had confessed to me. There's no doubt in my mind." Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death at the entrance to her condo- minium. The knife was never found. Simpson's current lawyer Yale, Galanter said none of Gilbert's claims are true and that Gilbert is "a delu- sional drug addict who needs money. He's fallen on very hard times. He is in trouble with the IRS." "I've talked to O.J. about it," said Galanter, who refused to allow Simp- son to comment directly because of his upcoming robbery trial in Las Vegas. "This stuff not only didn't occur but it's not factually supported by the evi- dence." The accusations on both sides Associated Press In this June 15, 1995, file photo, O.J. Simpson grimaces as he tries on one of the leather gloves prosecutors said he wore the night his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered, during the Simpson double-murder trial in Los Angeles. A sports memorabilia dealer who profited off O.J. Simpson alleges the football star confessed to murdering his ex-wife and says in a new book that he helped him outwit prosecutors with the gloves. showed that deep wounds persist In a phone interview, Gilbert called Galanter "an ambulance chaser and an enabler and denier for O.J. I know. I used to do the same thing. I understand the game." He acknowledged he has IRS prob- lems which he says were caused by Simpson but said, "I could take a drug test and pass it I highly doubt that O.J. could." Gilbert is the second sports memora- bilia dealer to write a Simpson book this year Thomas Riccio, who arranged a Las Vegas memorabilia sale that led to Simpson's armed robbery arrest, penned "Busted" last month. Simpson himself participated in the controversial book, "If I Did It," which he claimed was not a confession. It was withdrawn by the publisher and even- tually released last year by the Gold- man family to help satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment Gilbert said he continued to repre- sent Simpson for another decade after the alleged confession, hawking.items TRIWTYLCOME"E Biloxi Imperial paace Every Sunday 2 meals, $55 slt play - 2 casinos 1 9 ATT: Cooupon players 4 days/3 nights $85 Mp.

Detil with his autograph, hiding the profits and helping Simpson shield his pos- sessions so they could not be seized by the Goldman family. Gilbert also claims that he counseled the jailed Simpson during his murder trial to stop taking his arthritis medi- cine so his hands would swell up and not fit the bloody gloves in court He of- fers no proof Simpson followed his ad- vice or that he was taking any medicine, but the drama that played out in court when the gloves didn't fit was central to Simpson's defense. The prosecutors in Simpson's mur- der trial, Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden, could not immediately be reached for comment on Gilbert's claims. Former Gilbert partner Bruce Fromong, who was involved in the Vegas incident, said Gilbert is known for spinning tall tales. "Mike makes up a lot of great sto- ries," said Fromong. "Mike Gilbert has a ton of skeletons in his closet He's as dirty as anyone." Hundreds brawl at LA. school Associated Press LOS ANGELES - A fight that broke out at a troubled South Los Angeles school es- calated into a campuswide brawl involving as many as 600 students before it was quelled by police in riot gear. The melee, which students said started around noon Fri- day between rival black and Hispanic gangs, forced au- thorities to shut down Locke High School and keep stu- dents in their classrooms. After restoring order, they rounded up students who' hadn't returned to class and separated them by race, hold- ing Hispanics in the gym and black students in another room. Four people were arrested, three students for fighting and one non-student on sus- picion of possessing a knife, Los Angeles school district spokeswoman Susan Cox said. Several students were in- jured and treated at the scene, but nobody was hospi- talized, officials said. Music teacher Reggie Smith described to the Los Angeles Times a chaotic scene where it was difficult to distinguish between trou- ble makers and those trying to avoid the mayhem. "The kids were crazy, run- ning from place to place jumping on other kids," Smith said. "Some of my kids were crying because they were walking to class with friends and they got jumped." VACATION TIME! Victor Wong, an 18-year-old senior, told the Times the melee grew out of a fight two days earlier between two graffiti gangs. He said His- panic students who are friends of his asked him to participate in a fight planned for Friday that was to pit 10 Hispanic students against 10 black students. The two groups met as planned at the handball courts, but the fight quickly spread throughout the cam- pus, Wong said. "Security didn't know where to go," he said. "They'd concentrate in one spot and something would happen somewhere else." School district police brought in about 60 officers to the scene, while the Los Angeles Police Department dispatched about 50 officers and more than a dozen patrol cars. Ronald White, a 17-year- old senior, said that when po- lice arrived some of the students began fighting the officers, who responded with their batons. Another student said he saw police use pep- per spray. Locke has been marred by almost daily fights during much of the academic year, but students and teachers said Friday's brawl was the worst in years. Joseph Sherlock, a senior, called it "my first actual en- counter with a riot" About 65 percent of the 2,600 students enrolled at Locke are Hispanic, and 35 percent are black newspaper in education CALL563565 ST 3E2.' =IF�,,.-.77604.822..352-57-482...531..........Way.Suit..11,.Spr.g... l, Fl3460 Bring this ticket to Superior Bank's new branch at 3860 North Lecanto Hwy by May 17, 2008, to register to win prizes. ,,a r, ,t ' 1', 10i, .o iVu"c ,ari .2and i'llr'tramw ,'uerk.4'i that i ~ Dt'. ,rc' eo'r Mfect ' IcJM' D Iiam A Pr,~~~~~~ ~~~~ 0, ',2p', ' .t' l'1'.1 ' .,I , :tJIc F'."a 1.':'l'f p . r' .

The city is financially sound and has some good capital im- provement projects going on, he said. He, too, sees the eco- nomic cycle changing and said he looks forward to the city opting for its own im- pact fees, something that will help attract new busi- ness at the right time. Re- ducing impact fees will help reduce the vacant commer- cial space in Inverness, an indicator of the health of the city. He thinks Florida is posi- tioned better than the rest of the nation for recovery Despite the economy, given all the accomplishments the city has managed recently, he feels so good about the city's position he said, "There is not a better time to be the mayor in any city." The future Citrus County Economic Council Director Randy Welker said he, too, thinks the economy is going to begin showing signs of com- ing back soon, but the down- turn and its effects should underscore the need for the county to have a more diver- sified economy with more jobs not so dependent on the home building industry. He pointed to the rela- tively high unemployment rate in Citrus as an indica- tor of that weakness. He said the two cities going to their own impact fee schedule made a lot of sense and he supports it. Impact fees are some- thing the building industry has warned could retard a comeback - in other words, if the same housing in Cit- rus costs considerably more because of relatively higher impact fees. Moberly said current con- ditions should make it all too plain to the county com- mission what happens when the housing market is slowed. He thinks the county is well-positioned for a comeback but he worries about the effect of the im- pact fees levels on housing and business expansion. That could hurt healthy growth, with is crucial to economic health, he said. "To be a viable commu- nity, there has to be a cer- tain level of growth to sustain the community," he said.

And as they enter into that Victory in Europe (VE) Day. Second, mark May 17, when we honor all our veterans and those serving in the military on Armed Forces Day, and display the flag that we so valiantly fought to preserve. And third, the most important commemorative day of the year, May 26 - Memorial Day, when we honor all the fallen heroes of all past wars. Many of the local veterans organ- izations will have special obser- vances to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country. One of those observances will be at 11 a.m. Monday, May 26, when the Herbert Surber American Legion Post 225 of Floral City will have its 34th Annual Memorial Day Program at the Hills of Rest Cemetery on U.S. 41 just north of the traffic light in Floral City. The Junior Air Force ROTC of Citrus High and band students will make the event an emotional one worthy of the occasion. Nevell An- derson, a member of the Korean War Veterans Association, the Ma- rine Corp League and the Citrus County Veterans Coalition, will be the keynote speaker for the 45- minute ceremony, and everyone is invited to attend. The question we ask ourselves when we think of the sacrifices that have been made is, "Was it worth the sacrifice?" Without that sacri- fice all the freedoms we enjoy and take for granted could be in jeop- ardy I think you could ask any vet- eran that question and you would get a very resounding "YES!" Please remember and honor all of our fallen heroes, the surviving veterans of our past conflicts and, of course, those currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan during this month of May by displaying the American flag and attending the special services in their honor. Then we can celebrate the joy of being an American. May God bless America!

BICYCLE Continued from Page A13 in Burgundy's Cote-de- Beaune. Now, we must decide when to ride in the French Bur- gundy region, what general locations are best suited for this endeavor, plus all the other details. This is mostly my decision because my publication schedule is late in Septem- ber. I need many color photos from these new loops, to lo- cate decent restaurants, parking places, little-known historical sites, and the im- portant toilet locations. After that data is gathered, four- teen weeks are needed to complete the book, so the dates in France are from May 28 to June 14. As to a location, a combina- - - _ - tion of interests made our de- cision. We wanted to return to the familiar Cote-de-Beaune area, and find a number of loops in a new area. Spend- ing hours driving in the mornings to start a day's ride is never a consideration. It is only good sense to rent the 27-speed bicycles close to the riding locations. For at least two weeks, we wanted to stay in no more than two comfort- able and inexpensive 'kites" - holiday cottages. The second of this series selects villages, rents cot- tages, gets us to Burgundy and chooses where to spend three necessary extra days.

Now is the time to work on what- ever you deem detrimental and purge it from your life. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - If you find yourself in a leadership role, set the example you want others to follow. Unless you demonstrate that you're prepared to do what you ask of them, they won't do your bidding. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - We all make embarrassing blun- ders from time to time, so if you should make one today, own up to it and don't try to cover your tracks. Others will understand and help correct matters. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - Instead of pretending you can af- ford what your pals can afford, let your friends know the activity they are planning is beyond your means. Bid them a happy day and go your own way. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Those who usually have the clout to do favors for you might be pre- disposed at this time, for reasons known only to them. Don't place yourself in an embarrassing posi- tion of begging for help. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Avoid getting involved with an in- dividual who always makes you feel uncomfortable. Nothing will have changed, and you'll only end up subjecting yourself to an un- pleasant day. * Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Should you end up battling face- to-face with a shrewd bargainer, don't delude yourself into believ- ing you are the one dealing from strength. You won't even see the knockout punch coming. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You know what is right for you so don't let a strong-willed individual intimidate you into accepting his or her precepts. Reject anything that does not serve your best interests. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be careful not to blow things out of proportion and create big- ger problems for yourself. If you permit hyperbole to overwhelm your thinking, it'll end up govem- ing your actions. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - By attempting to be more than you really are, you could play a game of one-upmanship with those who intimidate you. The only thing you'll gain is discomfort. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - This might be one of those times when it would be better to yield to your mate rather than trying to battle for a 50/50 position when the situation calls for all or noth- ing. You'll gain more in the end. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)- It is always smart to use kind words and gentle suggestions when deal- ing with those who work at your side. Soft replies will not only de- flect wrath, they'll spawn allegiance and good fellowship as well. Aries (March 21-April 19)- If you're smart, you'll exercise a whole lot of self-discipline to con- trol all extravagant or wasteful spending. Enjoy yourself, but en- gage only in activities you can easily afford.

It therefore took the Citrus County Chronicle a lot of stat searching and heavy discussion before com- ing to a final conclusion for this year's top six Male Athlete of the Year nominees. We feel that these six young men are an accurate cross section of all sports and com- bine raw talent, on-field success andstrong work ethic to qualify as valid candidates. If you're talking raw talent, there's probably no better place to start than with last year's Male Athlete of the Year, Crystal River's Ronnie- ... Baldner. In 2006, Bald- ' ner jumped 6-10 in the - high jump and won the Class 2A state title, eas- ily sealing the deal as top Citrus County ath- lete as the area's only state title holder. This year, Baldner nearly repeated the feat with a jump of 6- 8, which was good enough for a sec- ond place finish in the same event Equally as impressive this year, however, was Baldner's perform- ance on the gridiron, where his biggest highlight came in the Pi- rates' playoff game against Willis- ton where he had 353 total yards, a state-playoff record, in the Pirates' 5249 win over Williston. But he didn't do it alone. He was joined at the hip by his quarterback, Shay Newcomer, our second nominee, who was nothing shordof extraordinary all season widFhis highlight ieel coming' against Williston in that same play- off game. His record- break ing -- performance . H ""\ tin the first Mi� '^ Xround of the state playoffs I .. **-J * saw him throw for a playoff record 568 yards in the win with a state record 620 yards from scrimmage. But for Newcomer, it wasn't about being a one-game wonder It was, instead, his athleticism, grit and leadership that helped turn his team from a 2-8 into an 8-2 team that would go on to win its first playoff game in several years. His year-long performance was so im- pressive, in fact, that he was named the Class 3A all-state quarterback, an honor not given out lightly Sticking with the football theme brings us our third nominee, Cit- rus' Antoin Scriven, who rushed for over 1,400 yards this past season. If riot for Newconfer's amazing stats Scriven would no doubt have been considered the county's best foot- ball player this year In fact, Scriven's efforts were so impres- sive that on Friday the Army nomi- nated him to the AlI-American game on Jan. 3. Puttingthat into perspective, only 400 players nationwide are named, 90 are selected, and here in Florida, from Daytona down to Sarasota, only nine players were nominated. Scriven was one of the nine. Switching gears from the grid- iron to the track brings us to our fourth nominee, Lecanto's pole vaulter Kirk Dandridge. He was nothing short of breathtaking all season as he pole vaulted to heights unimaginable and never before reached by a Citrus County athlete. His best jump of the year, 15-7, was good enough for one of the strongest jumps in the country all year, and if not for St Thomas Aquinas' Riley Egan, he would have won the state title. Truth is that a look at the three other classifications and one is led to believe that Dandridge would have proba- b ly been the state title holder in Class LA. Class 2A and Class 3A. A n d while we 're e talking state titles, our fifth nomi- nee, Citrus wrestler Bryant Fisher, was mere seconds away from a state title when a questionable call by the referee sent his match into overtime. In overtime, again Fisher looked to have the needed points to win the title but they were waved off. Seconds later, his opponent earned the necessary points for victory, sealing Fisher's spot as sec- ond best in the state. And then there was our sixth and final nominee, Lecanto's Victor Cortes, who may be our last nom- inee but was by no means least The senior was absolutely dazzling as the point guard of the Lecanto Panthers basketball team that steamrolled their way to a perfect 29-0 record and a No. 1 ranking state-wide by the end of the regular season. His leadership, scoring prowess and speed in handling the rock all made this leader an easy choice as one of I See BOYS/Page B4 ALI The six Male Athlete of the Year nominees, clock- wise from top left, are: Citrus' Antoin Scriven, Lecanto's Kirk Dandridge, Crystal River's Shay Newcomer, Lecanto's Victor Cortes and Cit- rus' Bryant Fisher.

Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers -~ .~ Rays 2, Angels 0 ST. PETERSBURG - Scott Kazmir pitched six scoreless innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-0 on Saturday night to hand SJoe Saunders his first loss of the season. One day after James Shields shut out the AL West co-leaders 2-0 on a one-hit- ter, Kazmir (1-1) held the Angels to a sin- gle and two doubles in his second start since missing all of April with a left elbow strain suffered during spring training. Evan Longoria, who won Friday nights game with a two-run,,ninth-inning homer, drove in the only run off Saunders. (6-1) when he grounded into a force play with the bases loaded in the first inning. Saunders, trying to become the ALs first sevpn-game winner, allowed four hits, struck out three and walked a sea- son-high four in six innings. Kazmir, the 2007 AL strikeout cham- pion, spent the first five weeks on the disabled list after hurting his elbow throwing a warm-up pitch for an in- trasquad game in February. He lasted, four innings, allowing four runs and six hits, in a 7-3 loss at Boston last Sunday. The 24-year-old left-hander walked three and struck out six against the An-, gels, who have lost three straight and " have not scored in their last 18 innings. Trever Miller pitched the seventh, Dan Wheeler worked out of a baseseloaded jam in the eighth and Troy Percival fin- ished up the combined three-htter for his eighth save in nine opportunities for the Rays.

Yankees 5, Tigers 2 DETROIT- Derek Jeter hit his first homer of the season, Darrell Rasner pitched six-plus strong innings and the New York Yankees ended a six-game losing streak to the Detroit Tigers with a 5-2 victory Saturday. Rasner (2-0) gave up two runs and four hits, departing after Magglio Or- donez's leadoff single in the seventh. Three relievers finished, with Joba Chamberlain pitching the eighth and Mariano Rivera the ninth for his 10th save. The Yankees had lost seven of eight against Detroit dating to last season. Jeremy Bonderman (2-4) lasted just four-plus innings in his shorteststart of the year, giving up five runs, six hits and four walks. Bonderman fell back into his pattern of first-inning struggles, allowing a solo homer to Jeter, then walking Melky Cabrera with the bases loaded. Jeter's homer ended a career-long drought of 128 at-bats to start a season. "I could really care less," Jeter said with a smile. "I'm just kidding. I wanted at least one." The Tigers pulled to 2-1 in the bot- tom half on Matt Joyce's first career homer, but couldn't get much going against Rasner.

Red Sox 5, Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS-The Boston Red Sox got an unexpected power surge from the bottom of their lineup to help Daisuke Matsuzaka remain undefeated with a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. night. Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie hit back- to-back homers to lead off the seventh inning - Crisp's first since Sept. 6 and Lowrie's first of his career - and Mat- suzaka (6-0) gave up two runs and six hits with seven strikeouts in seven in- nings for the Sox. Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis also hit solo homers for Boston and Jonathan Papelbon bounced back from two straight blown saves to get his 11th of the season. In his first big league start, Glen Perkins (0-1) had little trouble with big boppers David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and Lowell in the middle of Boston's lineup. They combined to go 1 -for-9 with a single and no RBIs against the lefty, but the Red Sox got a big boost from hitters No. 8 and 9 in the order. Perkins took a 2-1 lead into the seventh inning before the light-hitting duo of Crisp and Lowrie spoiled his evening. He gave up three runs and nine hits with three strikeouts in six- plus innings.

Pirates 5, Braves 2 PITTSBURGH -Tom Gorzelanny shook off Mark Teixeira's two-run homer in the first inning to shut out Atlanta dur- ing the rest of his 71-3 innings, Jason Bay homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates extended the Braves' road woes with a 5-2 victory Saturday night. Bay doubled and scored on Ronny Paulino's sacrifice fly in the second in- ning, then followed Jason Michaels' leadoff single with a two-run homer to left-center in the fourth off Chuck James (2-2). Paulino added a two-run double in the sixth and drove in three runs during Pittsburgh's fifth consecutive victory. The Braves, who came to Pittsburgh after sweeping a six-game homestand against San Diego and Cincinnati, lost their sixth in a row away from home and are a major league-worst 4-13 on the road. The Braves own the majors' best home record of 14-4. Gorzelanny (3-3), skipped over for a start because of a lower back problem, cruised after a difficult first inning in which Omar Infante doubled and, after a pair of force-play grounders, Teixeira hit an 0-1 pitch deep into the left-field seats for his fifth homer. Gorzelanny struck out four and walked two, following up on a 13-1 win over the Mets on April 30 in which he gave up one hit over five shutout innings.

S _______________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ Cardinals 5, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE - Ryan Ludwick hit a two-run single with two outs in the ninth - inning, and St. Louis' shaky bullpen held on Saturday for a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that snapped the Cardinals' season-long three-game skid. ,/Prince Fielder hit a tying homer in the ..eighth inning for Milwaukee, and Ben Sheets set a franchise record for strike- outs with 1,086. Still, the slumping Brew- ers lost for the seventh time in eight games. Eric Gagne (1-2) gave up consecutive singles to start the ninth. After Aaron Miles hit a 15-foot grounder that ad- vanced the runners, Gagne intentionally walked Albert Pujols to load the bases with one out for Rick Ankiel, who fouled out. Ludwick grounded a single just past shortstop J.J. Hardy to give St. Louis a 5- 3 lead. 3Ian Franklin, who took over the closer role Saturday from struggling Jason Isringhausen, got three outs for his third career save and second this year. The Brewers rallied from a 3-0 deficit for the second consecutive game. They scored two runs in the seventh on two walks by reliever Kyle McClellan and an- other in the eighth on Fielder's first homer in 42 at-bats. ST.

Giants 8, Phillies 2 SAN FRANCISCO -Tim Uncecum threw strikes all day, and San Fran- cisco's entire offense clicked in Omar Vizquel's season debut. Randy Winn hit his first home run of the year, Aaron Rowand connected against his former club for the second time in just more than a week and the Giants ended a season-worst five-game skid with an 8-2 win over the Philadel- phia Phillies on Saturday. Lincecum (5-1) struck out eight in eight impressive innings to outpitch 45- year-old Jamie Moyer, and Vizquel had three hits and scored a run in a success- ful return from the disabled list. Jose Castillo doubled and matched his career high with four hits, scoring twice for San Francisco. Dan Ortmeier hit a two-run double in the Giants' three- run third and Emmanuel Burriss added a sacrifice fly in the inning. Vizquel went 3-for-5 batting in the No. 2 hole, part of a balanced attack by the Giants. Rowand followed his second-in- ning homer with a pair of singles and scored two runs, while Winn also had a solo shot and two base hits.. Ryan Howard hit a leadoff homer on the first pitch from Lincecum in the sec- ond to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead, then Rowand tied it with his fourth homer leading off the bottom half. Chris Coste also homered for Philadelphia, a sev- enth-inning solo shot.

The Chicago Cubs star had four hits, including a go-ahead double in a six-run seventh inning, and showed some flair on the bases to help the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2. Kosuke Fukudome's first homer since opening day capped the seventh-inning rally as the Cubs won their second straight against the team that swept them in the first round of the playoffs last October. Entering the game batting .191 and slowed earlier this season by a calf in- jury that landed him the on the disabled list, Soriano twice raced home and scored with good slides to send the arrestt crowd f the season at Wrigley Field (41,597) into a tizzy. After a strong performance by Dia- mondbacks' rookie Max Scherzer, the Cubs trailed 2-1 headed into the sov- enth when they got to Arizona reliever Chad Quails (0-4). Mark DeRosa had a' leadoff single, Reed Johnson sacrificed and pinch-hitter Daryle Ward dropped an RBI single down the left field line to tie the game.

Mets 12, Reds 6 NEW YORK - Carlos Beltran hit a bases-loaded triple and drove in five runs to back Johan Santana's first home win for the Mets, and New York beat the Cincinnati Reds 12-6 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Saturday. Carlos Delgado and Brian Schneider hit New York's first back-to-back homers of the season, helping the Mets score 12 runs for the second consecutive game. David Wright broke out of a 1-for-13 slump with two hits and three runs. Moi- ses Alou had two RBIs and the Mets began a seven-game homestand - a day after rain postponed the opener - against last-place teams with an all- around offensive effort despite being out- hit by the Reds 15-12. Mets manager Willie Randolph started Santana in the opener instead of Mike Pelfrey, Friday's scheduled starter, be- cause "I like to get my best going first:' he said. Santana matched a career high by gMng up 10 hits, though he never was in serious trouble until the sixth, when he needed 38 pitches to get out of the inning. Ken Griffey Jr. went 2-for-5, missing his 598th home run by inches when he hit a drive off the top of the wall in the eighth inning for a two-run double. Santana (4-2) allowed Edwin Encar- nacion's eighth homer in the fourth inning and scattered five other hits through five. But he gave up four hits in the sixth, in- eluding a leadoff triple to Phillips and RBI singles to Encarnacion and pinch-hitter Scott Hatteberg. Santana has allowed 10 hits in a game five times, most re- cently on Aug. 29 for the Twins at Cleve- land. The left-hander walked one and struck out five.

Ken Griffey'Jr. had two hits and an RBI in the nightcap, but remained stalled in his bid to become the sixth player with 600 home runs - he is homeless in 59 at-bats. He missed No. 598 by inches in the opener when he hit a drive off the top of the wall for a two-run double that earned him a start in the second game. Arroyo struck out the side in the first and immediately put to rest any thoughts of a repeat of his awful start a week ago, when he gave up seven runs in the shortest start of his career- 1 1-3 in- nings. The Mets loaded the bases with one out in the second but Arroyo struck out Ramon Castro, and pitcher Mike Pelfrey (2-3) flied out to right fielder Griffey, who made a basket catch on the run. Griffey had an RBI single an out after Ryan Frel doubled to lead off the game. The Mets tied it in the third when David Wright hit a run-scoring single an out after Jose Reyes doubled. The Reds took the lead in the sixth on Hatteberg's double, scoring Keppinger. Hatteberg drove in Keppinger again in the eighth with a single off Duaner Sanchez. Paul Bako added an RBI sin- gle in the eighth to make it 4-1.

I'm not kidding. I went to the post office at 7 a.m. Thursday to buy stamps so I could mail some Mother's Day cards and possibly get them delivered on time. But the post office wasn't selling stamps that day. A rough piece of plywood was nailed to the wall where the stamp machine once serviced the happy people of Citrus County. Now, tacked to the piece of plywood, is a very long single spaced memo written by a U.S. Postal Service official explaining that the stamp machine has repeatedly mal- functioned and therefore has been permanently removed. Instead, the memo read, citi- zens will have to visit be- tween 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.'and stand on a very long line to purchase stamps from a liv- ing U.S. Postal Service offi- cial.

It's Mother's Day and I'm missing my mom. That shouldn't be unusual, but it is for me. My mom's been gone 25 years and I got over her death a long time ago. These last few days, however, I've thought about my mom and each time I do, tears well in my eyes and I don't know why. She died in July 1982, one month before my wedding. Last July, I went to Michigan for the weekend to mark the 25th year of her death. The rest of the family is still liv- ing. Dad just turned 90; my brother and four sisters still live close by.

See WRIGHT/Page C4 View fromthe sidelines Friendship in the world of Tobey D before I rolled into CitrusC ounty n in my white Forda Escort more than 18, years ago, a tradition had been established that I couldn't have foreseen becoming a part of. That tradition was little Tobey Hunter writing an annual Mother's Day newspaper column for her mom, who worked in the Chronicle newsroom.

I'm not sure who else would put up with me!" This last line in a recent e-mail made me stop and think (OK, a few tears came to my eyes, too). Why would I not put up with you? Isn't part of friendship tak- ing the good with the bad? The definition of friendship, according to Wikipedia, is "co- operative and supportive behav- ior between two or more humans." In the world of Tobey - population 1 - there are five major parts of friendship among lots of little parts, and my rela- tionship with my best friend meets all of these criteria - and then some. Communication: Speaking and listening have to be present in order to have positive com- munication. I am able to say any- thing to my best friend, and I am confident the same goes for her. Having someone you can be to- tally honest with is a ... relief. I don't have to pretend or cover up. I can just be me and say what is on my mind and know she is listening with an open heart and mind.

It tting for us to espe- mmemorate this year e year in which most members of the class of '63 turn 63. Let me digress for a moment: Cheryl and I did not go to school together; she graduated with the Hernando rannen High School class LICE of 1966. At times I find LIFE myself wishing we'd been class- mates, because I'd like to be- lieve it would've been love at first sight even then. I fanta- size about how we could have always been a couple, avoid- ing altogether the angst-in- spiring aggravations which were a part of the adolescent mating ritual. My sweetheart doesn't agree; she believes timing for us was perfect and that had we known each other earlier, I might have been one of her aggravations! Maybe she's right. By the time we met, I was using de- odorant on a daily basis and was no longer pulling pigtails or throwing spitballs. ' Be that as it may, each year it becomes more apparent that if they'd had a choice, my classmates would've opted for Cheryl instead of me. In high school, I was ob- noxiously outgoing, usually at the forefront of whatever project we were undertaking. Not only that, I was the only boy named "Fred" in my graduating class. There's no way to put this as modestly as I'd like, but it's fact - every- body knew my name. When we first began to at- tend the annual reunions, the love of my life was usually identified as "Fred's wife, Cheryl." As the years have passed, she has become the one who is warmly received when we arrive. Nowadays, we are greeted with, "Hi, Cheryl!" If I'm lucky, after several moments of MY classmates fawning over her, I get the cursory acknowledgement, "Oh, hey, Fred." I fully expect the day will come when my classmates won't remember me at all - I'll become known to them only as "Cheryl's husband, old what's-his-name."

In looking at the liabilities of the candidates, they felt 1McCain's age and health are big factors, especially if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Obama's biggest problem is that the public does not really know who he is and he has yet to take a position on many key issues. With Hillary Clinton the problem is reversed - peo- ple know too much about her. In describing the cam- paign, they said: "You could look at McCain's campaign as the last campaign of the 19th century, Hillary's cam- paign as the last campaign of the 20th century, and Obama's campaign as the first campaign of the 21st century." In analyzing the reporting of the race, there was a feel- ing that a lot of what was re- ported was what people believed would happen, and not what was happening. There is an underlying deep concern over the threat of violence during the cam- paign, especially to Obama. The Secret Service has pro- vided more protection to Obama earlier than ever be- fore.

Arthurs publisher emeritus - LETTERS to the Editor - Suppressing votes This letter was sent certified to Ginny Brown-Waite, as of this date it has been unanswered. Dear Ginny Brown-Waite: Thank you fdr your letter, but let me remind you ,of Constitutional Amendment 14. "This amendment guarantees no State will make or enforce any law which will abridge the privileges or immunities of cit- izens of the United States." H.B 537 suppressed some individ- uals' rights, including myself. The Democratic presidential primary vote doesn't make every American equal, since voice/vote was eliminated and the State of Florida enforced it! This is also in violation of the 15th amendment which states, "United States citi- - zens have a rightto vote and that right will not be denied or abridged by the United States," and furthermore congressional power to enforce this article by ap- propriate legislation would never include extinguishing the Ameri- can voice. Since when was there a law that took away any one American's rightto vote? Representatives re- sponded unconstitutionally, if they voted for any law that would over- ride constitutional laws, and whether they voted for it or did not stop it, these types of events/issues are actually what you, as well as any chosen official, were elected to protect, our constitutional laws. I demand that my vote for the presidential primary be counted, just like it is guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Don't " you think it's time for our elected . officials to start acting correctly to the people who voted them into of- fice? Part of the very right we exer- cised to place you in your office is .part of the right you just helped * takeaway. Also, no political party can en- force laws in any state of this coun- try, so the National Democratic . Party has no authority to stop a " votingprocess,. according to the N Constitution. If this is what you are implying, then perhaps you need * to create a bill that the American * people can vote on to change this ' constitutional law, but as it stands . now, representation or Florida State Legislature voted, passed N 1~ N N N N 4' N N .4 N N N N N N 4 N 4 '4 4 4 N 4 4 N 4 '4 N '4 '4 N '4 1' 4 4 4 '4 4 '4 '4 '4 1* N '4 '4 N 4 1' 4 .4 N N 4 4" 4 S50 entstoonmuch toask?

I hope you can find it in your hearts to help someone else in need as much as everybody of- fered to help my family in our time and changed a constitutional law without the proper procedures and the outcome was unconstitu- tional, which has violated the civil rights of any whose vote was sup- pressed.

ET was my only companion for one and a half years after his mas- ter's death. My husband and I adopted him at age 5 and re- trained him. He was very protec- tive of us, loved to travel in our motor home and played with other, dogs and cats his size. The memorial service at the Fountains park included a poem, "Over the Rainbow Bridge," prayer and releasing a balloon be- fore laying him to rest Thank you for memories which will live on. Jean Johnson Inverness Compounding mistake Suncoast I toll road was a mis- take. Now the DOT wants to com- pound the mistake by extending it and ruining Citrus County. Wake up people! The only ones to benefit from this are the out-of- town developers, the mining inter- ests and Progress Energy. Once this ugly road has split our county, it will be too late. The elections in August and No- vember are vitally important All of the members of the county com- mission are in favor except one, Joyce Valentino. The other four need to go. In fact, this vital issue should be put on the ballot for the people to decide, not just five peo- ple. Next year they are going to de- cide to build or not build. Do we want to see our area turned into another Tampa or do we want our way of life preserved? It's up to we the people who live here to take action before it's too late. Join COST. Patricia A. Bowles Inverness I ( of need. I would like to thank every- body and I really appreciate every- thing that everybody has done. UND Thank you. Tax is taxing Anybody in office that had Anything to do with keeping the 6-cents-a-gallon tax should be voted out. During this time of high prices, we don't need that extra tax. It should be abolished while S prices are this high. (It's) 3579 very hard on older people on fixed incomes. Vote together I think it's been a very big mistake to have primaries at different dates and different times. It should have all been a primary vote on one day by the whole nation, like the general (election). That would have been the third decision. This way you sway people because, well, they want to go with the winner. This is wrong. Next time, no more primaries like this year. They must all be on the same date. IN THE LEGISLATURE Some steps forward, some back in session The 2008 session of the Florida Legislature was dominated by the demand of an austere budget as a result of the economic downturn. Given the old joke that no man, woman, child or domesticated animal is safe when the Legisla- ture is in session, perhaps we ought to be appreciative that lawmakers passed the budget they did and did not go into spe- cial session. We will see what THE 1 the governor does with it, but we sure The 2008 hope he doesn't sess mess with our Chas- sahowitzka sewer OUR 01 and water project money or the A mixi Florida Forever in a very funds. Since Sen. Mike Fasano is a buddy of Gov. Charlie Crist, we'll assume that the money Fasano got for the county is safe. But this project is by no stretch of the imagination pork. It is not, as a former governor thought, a turkey for the county, but rather a matter of public health and welfare, not to men- tion protection of the state's re- sources. If the Florida Forever funds are secured for it, they may help the effort to take the Three Sis- ters Springs property off the de- velopment menu - something that will pay back local, state and federal environmental divi- dends forever. That's a serious investment, not pork. The rest of the 2008 legislation is a mixed bag and may depend on your point of view on whether it's good or bad, though services and programs took cuts left and right. Some, as always, will have unintended consequences that you can bet the Legislature will be addressing in the next ses- sion. Notably the school system will feel the budget pinch in a big way, but it could be worse. Some counties to the south are talking about layoffs and extreme cut- backs. In the end, just about every entity that derives money from the state will feel the same economic pinch this year that residents are feeling in their lives. INSURANCE One of the failings of the Leg- islature was that it didn't come up with any answers to the con- tinuing insurance crises in Florida. It did freeze Citizens' state insurance rates through Jan. 1, 2010, and doubled fines for unfair trade practices in the insurance business. At this point, though, assailed property owners will have to continue bearing the costs and pray that we don't get a bad hurricane - or the unthinkable, a series of hurricanes - this year because the taxpayers will be on the hook for it. The Legislature also passed a law that insurers would have to give notice before dropping more than 10,000 policies in a year. The Legislature voted to bor- row $250 million from Citizens to fund low-interest loans for start- up insurers - we sure do hope there is some oversight here - and with a bold ini- U E tiative it created a $SUE: state commission to legislative study state-run in- ion. during. It did add a no-in- 'INION: terest loan program to the state hurri- d bag cane mitigation ean year. program for home- owners. EDUCATION In addition to cutting funds, the Legislature did spend some energy on education. On the pos- itive side, it reduced the empha- sis of FCAT results in high school grades and moved the exam dates later into the year. It also strengthened penalties for misconduct in relation to teacher ethics. Middle schools will be required to provide 30 minutes of physical education a week. It also passed an anti-bul- lying law requires schools to ban harassment of students. What have we come to when this stuff has to be law? Finally, the Legislature ex- panded by $30 million a year the corporate income tax credit scholarships that give students tuition for private schools. TheLegislature failed to give schools more flexibility to meet class-size requirements and wasted the taxpayers' time in debating evolution, followed by some real quality time spent de- bating a ban on students expos- ing below-waist underwear in school. While it failed to force schools to spend at least 65 percent of operating budgets in the class- room, that issue was put on the November ballot by the Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission. ELECTIONS An attempt to end taxpayer fi- nancing for qualified statewide candidates rightly failed, as did another, measure that might have had some merit. That was an attempt to open primaries to all voters when all major party candidates are from the same party, regardless of write-in can- didates. ENVIRONMENT On the energy side, it did es- tablish the Southeast's first gas emission market and extended the Florida Forever land-buying program for 10 years. It banned dumping sewage off the state's east coast, which might have been applauded, but it delayed the ban until 2025. Under the go-figure category, it banned local governments from banning those ubiquitous plastic bags. Finally, to its discredit, it failed to close loopholes that allow changing growth manage- ment plans to accommodate de- velopers. HEALTH CARE In health care, to the gover- nor's credit, the Legislature cre- ated a low-coast insurance plan for low-income Floridians, which is at least a start to get people some help. It also streamlined the rules to make it quicker to build new general hospitals, a process that needed fixing because of the costly, time-consuming suits it encouraged. Finally, it gave religious groups that provide access to health care an exemption from being regulated under insur- ance codes. OTHER To its discredit, and contrary to the interests of commercial property owners and their rights, the Legislature passed a law that prohibits employers from banning employees from keeping guns in their vehicles when parked on company prop- erty during work hours. On the other hand, it passed a law for property owners that limits the assessment practice known as the "highest and best use" in which commercial prop- erty is valued at its future poten- tial, not the current use. In no holiday mood, the Legis- lature shot down proposals for a two-week gas tax relief period, a one-week back-to-school- supplies tax holiday, and a 12- day hurricane tax holiday. In a groundbreaking piece of legislation, lawmakers passed a bill to require drivers to stop when pedestrians are in the crosswalk. In Florida it was pre- viously legal not to stop for pedestrians? Our legislators also replaced the "Old Folks at Home" state song with "Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky" because of per- ceived racially offensive lyrics in the former, and named the go- pher tortoise as the official state tortoise, though it wasn't that in- ventive or pioneering. Maybe no one told them Georgia made the gopher tortoise the state reptile almost 20 years ago.

That is good, but the process will require years, if it does not get tied up in the courts by environmentalist lawsuits. The bill includes countless tax breaks, grants and incentives to reduce en- ergy consumption- or to de- velop clean energy sources. All of these will be "gamed" by the clever people who know how to use the laws to make money at taxpayer ex- pense. The C02 "cap and trade" process the bill man- dates adds expenses to the cost of generating power and, so far, has not been ef- fective in reducing emis-- sions anywhere in the world. There's lots more in this bill, but you get the idea. It adds to the witch's brew of legislation already on the books to save the planet from the evils of using energy. I believe the authors wrote it in a manner that legislators would accept as good for the state and not posing any threat - assuming legisla- tors bothered to read it. What this bill really does is burden every homeowner, businessman, manufacturer and farmer with a huge in- crease in the cost of electric power. And it guarantees Florida will be short of needed power to support projected growth. Manufac- turers who are heavy power users will be pushed out of Florida taking with them jobs and tax revenues. There will-be brownouts during the hottest summer days! Our governor and legisla- tors should have checked out California, where all these energy restrictions have been on the books for years. energy They are energy short, im- porting most from other states. They have the highest cost power in the country. Rolling brownouts are rou- tine. Industry is fleeing the state. Only Hawaii has higher gas prices. Is this what we want for Florida?

True friendship means you are able to overlook someone's shortcomings and/or actions and still accept and love them for who they are. Giving advice and sharing experi- ences comes along with this.

Even Obama's minister of 20 years is building a multi-million- dollar mansion. In 2006 the Democrats took control of Congress, promising change and to lead the country in a new direction.

Three years ago, Jean and I divorced after 22 years of marriage. She and Erin moved to Cape Coral, near Fort Myers. Erin turned 13 just last Wednesday. r Mom, though, stayed close. Let me explain. Early in my divorce process, during a particu- larly difficult time, I went to- Mass one Sunday morning. I sat in the front row at St. Scholastica Catholic Church, way off to the side. I listened to the readings and the ser- mon. Nothing was sinking in. I went to communion and returned to my seat, kneeling in prayer. I started thinking of Mom. I told her I was lost -adi-didn't-know what to do.6 Suddenly a woman return- ing from communion sat next to me, put her arm around my shoulder and whispered, "The 'Lord loves you and he listens to your prayers." I looked into her eyes and said thanks. I'd never seen her before and I haven't seen here since. But I felt God's presence in my life for the first time. My mom made sure of it. That takes me to last June. At that time, I had nearly a year in a 12-step alcohol re- covery program. In recovery, I sought and accepted God's forgiveness for my many sins, I felt his.peace in my heart. We learn in recovery to share what we have. I prayed for others to have the same peace from God in their hearts that I have in mine. , One day when I went to pick up Erin in Ellenton - the halfway point between Citrus and Lee counties - for our weekend together, Jean said she had a box for ie. I opened the box at home and it was filled with a bunch of stuff from college and high school. I had forgotten this junk even existed. How-it ended up in Jean's garage in Cape Coral is a mystery. I rooted through this stuff and found the program from my mom's funeral Mass. It was an amazing discovery. A few days later I was still going through items in the box. I opened a cardboard envelope that contained my college transcripts. I shook the container and out plopped a small greeting card. It was in an envelope with my name on it, written in my mother's handwriting. The .envelope was un- opened. I stared at it for a moment. There was no date, no ad- dress on it. The card must have been tossed in with other items that she mailed to me. I opened the envelope, On the cover was a drawing of a cat with a mouse atop its head. "Got you on my mind," was the message inside. Mom had written a note to me as well. She mentioned the hot weather. She said she and Jean had been shopping to buy me clothes. There was also a reference of gathering addresses. Though there was no mention of the wedding, I could quickly see that was the point of asking about ad- dresses. She signed the card with love, calling me by a special childhood name that I had long, long forgotten. Then I had this stunning thought: Mom sent this card to me 25 years ago, probably a month before she died. And now I was opening it for the first time. I fell to my knees, clutching that card, thanking God for this extraordinary, precious gift It's Mother's Day,.and I'm missing my mom. I shouldn't, though. She's right here. She's been right here all along. - Mike Wright is a senior - reporter and assistant editor for the Citrus County Chron- icle. He can be reached at 563-3228 or mwright @chronicleonline.com.

It should stay green on (U.S.) 19 instead of having to stop and waste gas when there's nobody coming on Ozello. It's not that big of a road. It should not have a timer; it should have sensor so it does not turn red when nobody's coming and I'm wasting gas at $4 a gallon.

Brandishing the wrecked rotor, the owner of a start-up boat build- ing business in Homosassa illus- trated how he had a problem to solve. r As "just an idea to get back and forth to my island without destroy- ing a propeller every day," Joe Finn began researching and de- signing a boat that would be friendly to the environment and more fun to fish from. Finn has come to designing his prototype after years of experi- ence. "I did a lot of restoration on old wooden boats," said Finn, who moved here five years ago from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. What Finn has come up with is a prototype he calls the Oyster h b e S St County businesses find ways to reduce, reuse and recycle Catcher, a center console open ' fisherman-style boat with a 25- horsepower inboard motor.

"Some of them have lasted for 40 years," Finn said. The company is known for manu- facturing environmentally compat- ible equipment The boat has a semi-planing hull for medium-speed range. Protecting both manatees and the grass beds was another design goal. A computer-aided design pro- gram told Finn to try a small pro- peller. "I suspect it won't work, and I have space to install a larger one," Finn said. The 10-inch propeller is well pro- tected by a large foot or sole plate. It does not protrude below the boat, allowing it to clear manatees and debris. Finn took a 1940s design, but made it longer and wider for mod- ern-day demands for his 21-foot pro- totype. "Similar boats have been made and perform very well," Finn said. Recently, Finn went to Cortez, near Bradenton, to see a show by professional boat builders, and got good feedback for his design.

The Citrus Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Associa- tion brought the weekend to a perfect end when they awarded the youth division prizes to each and every one of a whopping 46 youth partic- ipants on Sunday afternoon. Possibly drawing an even big- ger crowd then the adult awards that took place after- ward, the youth participants were able to learn a multitude of fishing and safety related lessons as they took advantage of the learning stations of- fered by CCA before they re- ceived their participation prizes and awards on Sunday afternoon. The CCBA Annual Fishing Tournament is successful due to the efforts of its committee, sponsors, prize and goodie bag contributors, and the volun- teers that physically make everything happen. .

As a start-up company, Finn is working with SCORE and the small business school in Gainesville, he said. He's trying to keep the boat cost below $50,000. Finn plans to perfect this model, then design a deck boat and pontoon boat "People around here like pontoons so much," he said. As for the Oyster Cracker: "It's a good boat for catching red fish and trout. It's built for the rocks in Ozello and Chazz." As for his business plan, Finn said: "We are dedicated to minimizing the impact on the environment. We love the green idea, so we're jumping on it" FLORIDA MORTGAGE SPECIALISTS Shields Gay Jackie Gay (352) 302-9681 (352) 422-5955 Conventional Mortgages/Reverse Mortgages/Refinancing Debt Consolidation/Private Investors Available special gift? ..

Its Web site is http://www.stormport- boatworks.com/. Greener grass Two local businesses have teamed up to offer the home- owner a system called ferti- gation that saves water, fertilizer and gardening ef- fort. Farms and golf courses have been using fertigation for some time. It simply means putting fertilizer in the sprinklers. The fertilizer offered by Ron Romanelli is organic and used in small doses. His company, Paramqunt Supply, sells his products through Citrus Equipment and Repair Inc. in Crystal River, he said. The organic fertilizer is less wasteful and has fewer 41.41- 0 .41b mop- ftmS ao . 0. nitrates, said Ted Pernu, who owns Citrus Equipment It is 90 percent absorbed, rather than 20 percent to 30 percent as with regular fertilizers. "It's new to the area," Pernu said. "It's only been around for two or three months. I wholesale it to irri- gation installers and lawn guys, but I'll sell it at retail to do-it-yourselfers." With the tools and know- how, a homeowner can set up fertigation, Pernu said. "You can adapt it to one of your lines in your current system," Pernu said. "You can cut a pipe and put a fit- ting in, which is easy even for the not-so-savvy yard per- son." In addition to cutting back nitrate runoff, fertigation uses less water, Pernu said. "It reduces the need for ir- rigation because it feeds the roots of the plant and makes it more drought tolerant," Pernu said. "It's kind of a win-win thing." Many irrigation installers offer fertigation, and Pernu said he refers customers to their nearest installer. The phone number is 795- 6635. The Citrus County Exten- sion Services would like homeowners who are consid- ering installing a fertigation system by themselves to first discuss the plan with a mas- ter gardener or a staff mem- ber of Florida Yards and Neighborhoods, as consider- ations should be made for water pressure and types of grasses and plants that would be fertilized. The phone number is 527- 5700.

Tips to save water laside... lorida's sandy soils mean that plants may experience drought stress after only a few days without rain or irriga- tion. So how do you keep your plants alive while following the water management dis- trict's watering sched- ule? Here are a few guidelines. 0 Establish land- scape priorities. If you have high-maintenance and drought-sensitive plants, water them first Grass should be a lower priority - it can be trained to be fairly drought-tolerant (espe- cially bahiagrass and centipedegrass), and is cheaper to replace than trees and shrubs. Joan Brt FLOR FRIEI LIVI * Consider replacing drought- sensitive plants with more drought-tolerant species. Choos- ing drought-tolerant plants when replacing plants or adding new plants to the landscape can help you save money and conserve water * Mulch planting beds and areas around trees and shrubs. Mulching helps the soil retain moisture, moderate soil temperature, and keep weeds down. The mulch should be about 3 inches deep. * Turn off automatic irrigation systems during cool winter weather and rainy summer weather. Run your irri- gation system only when your landscape really needs the water. Examine your irriga- tion system and repair leaks promptly. Hand water when possible, or consider using drip ir- rigation. (The water adshaw management districts IDA- do not restrict the use DLY of drip irrigation and NG other types of microir- rigation, at least in non- lawn landscapes.) * Irrigate plants only when they need it (drooping leaves or a change in leaf color are good indi- cators). Many trees and shrubs can survive drought without irriga- tion, provided they are well estab- lished and were healthy prior to the drought. * Don't fertilize or, if you do, use low-nitrogen and low-phosphorus See ' Page E10 Time for tea PAGE E14 Jane Weber PAGE E21 Home Maintenance PAGE E20 Frugal Living PAGE E13 Real Estate Digest PAGE E4 For current property transactions, use the search features on the Cit- rus County Property Appraiser's Web site, www.pa.citrus.fl.us. Question about Wedgwood pieces; lamps and letter openers Dear John: It is unfortu- nate when relatives pass away and so much knowledge goes with them. At- tached are pictures of some china. They were purchased by my daughter's maternal grandmother from an antiques dealer in the 1950s. She was told that they were from the mid-1800s. The marks on the bottom of the china say, "Strawberry John S fruit, Wedgewood, John Etruria, England." SIKOI What can you tell me AT about them? - R., Internet Dear R: Although there was a Wedgwood copycat company by John Wedgewood in the 19th century, I suspect you have mis- spelled Wedgwood by adding the letter e between the g and w. The Wedgwood pieces you have were produced between World War I and II. The patterti is Strawberry Fruit. Wedgwood i I produced seven versions of the Strawberry pattern; two of the seven were titled Strawberry Fruit. Potential dollar value for your pieces depends on which version of the pattern you have. In order to find out, try contacting Re- placements Ltd. at S(800) 737-5223. Let us know what you dis- cover. Dear John: I have a pair of lamps like the ikorski one in the picture. SKI'S They are 42 inches TIC tall with crystal hang- ing on different edges. The oval in- serts look like thin marble. I am not really sure what they are, but they're not plastic. There are lights under the shade, as well as the ones seen in the photo. These lamps are very heavy Any idea who made them, how old they are and what would they be worth? I bought them at an estate sale several years ago. -J.D., Internet A&W ye 4 . Special to the Chronicle ':.' This Wedgwood plate was produced sometime between World War I and World War II. It's a pattern known as "Strawberry Fruit." There were two versions of the pattern produced; value de- pends on which version this is. RIGHT: This lamp probably dates from the mid-20th century. There's no specific collector interest. Dear J.D.: I will assume the no specific collector interest. lamps are not marked by the Potential dollar value is catch- manufacturer. The pair was as-catch-can. likely made sometime during the mid-20th century.

DIGEST GUIDE * News notes submitted without photos will not be reprinted if the photo is provided later. ATTIC Continued from Page E6 Dear John: The letter opener in the attached photo has "Solin- gen Germany" on the back The design is in red. The holder is leather. Any idea on the age and worth? -J., Internet Dear J.: Letter openers are collectible but are not a specific category of collecting. Most are bought for their decorative ap- peal or because they are made by recognized makers. The one you have would likely sell in the $5 to $15 range. Dear John: A while back you were kind enough to reply to my inquiry regarding two beau- tiful blue sconces "mounted with beautiful faience plaques made to a high standard." They were given to me by my sister Since then, one of the metal arms holding the candles has broken and it is in need of re- pair. I am searching for a reli- able source that can repair this properly, since they are of some value. They were "made in France in the late 19th century or early 20th century and the potential value for the pair is between $800 and $1,200." Would you be kind enough to recommend someone who can repair this so that I can admire the wall sconces in my home again? -AM., Internet Bear AM.: I suggest you con- tact Leak Enterprises, 12500 S.

The contractor has replaced some of the wood, but the problem continues. Is there any treatment ' that will work com- Dwight pletely, or does the en- HC tire wood floor need to m .' be replaced? What is the best way to get rid of wood-flooring termites? A: If you are finding sawdust, then you probably have a wood- boring beetle, also known as a powder post beetle. The name is derived from the fine, flourlike powder, or frass, the beetles dis- card. The most common wood-bor- ing beetle families are the lycti- dae, bostrichidae and anobiidae. Only the anobiidae family of bee- tles can digest cellulose, the main ingredient of wood. All Call Today And Experience The Curb Appeal Advantage.

The nar- row strip of planting bed, facing di- rectly south, gets full sun from sunup to sundown. Soil is simply the fill dirt left after construction, scattered with lumps of alkaline debris such as mortar and cement and topped with decaying pine bark mulch. To make growing conditions more difficult, the red brick building absorbs and radiates heat toward the rose bushes. Black asphalt, hot vehicle engines and ex- haust fumes front the flowerbed. Yet these roses flower for nine months a year. These popular, woody-stemmed, evergreen roses are the patented "Knock-out" series, which retail for about $25 for a No. 3 or 10-inch pot.

Think before topping tree Before you take the top off a tree, here are eight good issues to ponder * Starvation - Good pruning prac- tices rarely remove more than one-quar- ter to one-half of the crown which, in turn, does not interfere with the ability of a tree's leafy crown to manufacture food. Kerry Kreider THE ARBORIST Topping removes so much of the crown that it-upsets an older trees well-developed crown to root ratio and temporarily cuts off its food-making ability. * Shock - A tree's crown is like an umbrella that shades much of the tree from the direct rays of the sun. By suddenly re- moving this protection, the re- maining bark tissue is exposed and scaling may result. There may also be a dramatic effect on neighboring trees and shrubs. If these plants thrive in the shade, and the shade is removed, poor health or death may result * Insects and disease - The large stubs of a topped tree have a difficult time forming callus. The terminal location of these cuts, as well as their large diam- eter, prevents the tree's chemi- cally based natural defense sys- tem from doing its job. The stubs are highly vulnerable to insect invasion and the scores of decay fungi. If decay is al- ready present in the limb, opening the limb will speed the spread of the disease. N Weak limbs - At best, the wood of a new limb that sprouts after a large limb is truncated is more weakly attached than a limb that develops more normally. If rot exists, or develops at the sev- ered end of the limb, the weight of the sprout makes a bad situ- ation even worse. * Rapid new growth - The goal of topping is usually to con- trol the heights and spread of a tree. Actually, it has the oppo- site effect The resulting sprouts (often called water sprouts, or epicormic growth) are far more numerous than normal growth and they elongate so rapidly that the tree returns to its origi- nal height in a short time and with a far denser crown. * Tree death - Some older trees are more tolerant than others. Beeches for example, do not sprout rapidly after se- vere pruning and the reduced foliage most surely will lead to the death of the tree. * Ugliness -Atopped tree is a disfigured tree. Even with its re- growth, it never retains the grace and character of its species. The landscape and community are robbed of a valuable asset * Cost - To a worker with a .saw, topping a tree is much eas- ier than applying the skill and judgment of a good pruning. Therefore, topping may cost less in the short run; however, the tree costs of topping are hidden. These include reduced property value; the expense and removal of replacement if the tree dies; the loss of other trees and shrubs, if they suc- cumb to changed-light condi- tions; and the risk of liability of weakened branches and in- creased future maintenance.

Most of the thou- sands of cultivated, hybridized, named varieties have broad- based, re-curved thorns on the stems, while wild species are often covered with prickles to help them scramble above com- peting vegetation. A patented plant has been developed over many years of hybridizing and cultivation by a plant breeder. After years of field-testing, the patent pro- tects the breeder's rights, then a marketing campaign-begins. Each plant bears a tag warning that '"Asexual reproduction using scions, buds or cuttings is strictly prohibited by U.S. Plant Patent Laws." Registered growers pay for a license to propagate and grow patented plants then sell them to retail nurseries.

Pirated ones usually bear no labels. Readily available Knock-out roses come in pink and red in Florida. There is a lovely yel- low one not yet available here. The original hybrids are de- lightfully fragrant, single-flow- ered blooms. Recently, I traveled to the Florida breeder to buy a minimum order of $500 worth of Encore azaleas, suc- cumbed to impulse buying and loaded up on a "Double Knock- out" sister seedling in deep red.

This practice con- stantly trims the shrub during the flowering season. In winter when the bush is not flowering, cut back a third to half of the main stems to control the over- all size. Remove any frozen stems and the thickest old growth. Left un-pruned and not deadheaded, the shrub will be less dense and reach a maxi- mum size of about 3 feet high by 4 feet in diameter. The bank's Knock-outs are untended, yet covered with flowers for all to enjoy. Mother's Day is a perfect time to give a gift plant and plant it with mom, grandma or that spe- cial person.
