Water levels continue to drop


MARK SCOHIER
Special to the Chronicle
CHIEFLAND While
scientists, policymakers
and stakeholders alike dis-
agree on how to address the
issue of Florida's water, one
thing is certain: It continues
to become less available.
Drought is part of the
problem.
The Suwannee River
Water Management Dis-
trict, which manages 14
counties in Northern


Florida, reports an overall
rainfall deficit of about 16
inches for the last year,
which, from April to
March, has been the "dri-
est April March period
since 1932."
Florida is known to un-
dergo periods of drought
every few years. Still, data
from both SRWMD and the
Florida Geological Society,
taking drought years into
account, shows groundwa-
ter levels in the area trend-
ing downward since the


middle of the 20th century,
suggesting increased with-
drawal is having an affect.
"We're mining the
aquifer," Chiefland resi-
dent and Save Our Suwan-
nee Inc. representative
Annette Long, said in an in-
terview at Fanning Springs
State Park Friday "We're
taking more than is being
recharged.
One hundred percent of


the data shows that's
what's happening."
It was at Fanning
Springs on Aug. 9 where
Long, a veteran cave diver
and springs advocate, cap-
tured on video a steady in-
flux of brown river water
flowing into the spring.

DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle
Amy Hunt Avery, right, was a young, healthy person. She taught aerobics and was a personal trainer until 2008,
when she started having problems with her foot swelling up. A neurologist diagnosed her with RSD reflex sym-
pathetic dystrophy. Amy, with the help of her mother, Dolores Edwards, left, fights constant pain and is under the
care of a pain-management specialist.


When suffering becomes part

of everyday life

Editor's note: Chronic pain comes in many
forms and affects thousands throughout Citrus
County Each person's pain is different, but there
are common elements when it comes to how pain
changes people's quality of life. The following are
just two examples of people in our community
who live in constant pain.
NANCY KENNEDY
Staff Writer
Amy Hunt Avery was Citrus High School's homecom-
ing queen in 1985.
She taught aerobics, worked as a personal trainer
About 10 years ago, a trailer at her house ran over her
foot. Some time after that, she stepped off a StairMaster
and noticed a big bruise on the bottom of her right foot
Nine years ago, she had surgery to fix several things
wrong with her foot and felt better, but not completely
Then in 2008, she was walking up steps and felt a
Charley horse in her foot and leg.

LECANTO What happens when your pain
won't go away?
Where do you go? What do you do?
Doctors Mark Fallows and Mark Hashim of Na-
tures Coast Pain Associates together see upwards
of 1,600 patients dealing with chronic pain -
pain that affects every aspect of life, pain that
makes everyday life sometimes unbearable.
And they are not the only pain management
physicians in the county
However, as Fallows said, this is an exciting
time to be in pain management
Both he and Hashim are particularly excited
about the improvements in spinal cord stimula-
tion devices, especially a current-driven device
made by Boston Scientific.
As Hashim explained, the device is implanted
above the spinal cord and emits a current that
switches off the "I'm in pain" message being sent

SANFORD George
Zimmerman is getting out of
jail. Now his defense team
has to worry about keeping
the neighborhood watch
volunteer accused of gun-
ning down Trayvon Martin
safe on the outside.
Defense attorneys for
other high-profile clients
who awaited trial on bail
had advice for how to pro-
tect the man whose shoot-
ing of the unarmed black
17-year-old sparked nation-
wide protests: Get him out
of Florida, keep him from
going out in public and
never leave him alone.
"He clearly puts himself
in jeopardy unless he takes
precautions," said New
York attorney Barry Slot-
nick, who represented sub-
way shooter Bernhard
Goetz in the 1980s.
A half dozen reporters,
photographers and camera-
men began staking out the
Seminole County Jail early
Saturday in Sanford, a day
after a Florida judge
agreed to let Zimmerman
out on $150,000 bail. Zim-
merman's attorney, Mark
O'Mara, said it would take a
few days before Zimmer-
man is released. His family
needs time to secure collat-
eral for the bail, Zimmer-
man needs to be fitted with
an electronic monitoring
device and O'Mara said he
must find a secure location
for him.
Zimmerman appeared to
be wearing a bulletproof
vest under his charcoal suit,
and his wife and parents
testified by telephone in-
stead of in the courtroom
because they said they've
been threatened and feared
for their safety His wife,
Shellie Zimmerman, testi-
fied she had received hate
mail.
Circuit Judge Kenneth
Lester on Friday indicated
that Zimmerman would be
allowed to leave Florida if
arrangements can be made
with law enforcement to
have him monitored out of
state.
"The initial challenge is
going to be first be getting
him out of Sanford," said at-
torney Jose Baez, whose
former client, Casey An-
thony, endured similar
scrutiny when she was re-
leased from an Orlando jail
last summer after being ac-
quitted of killing her 2-year-
old daughter. "Everybody
knows where he is getting
released from. That is the
first problem."
Before he turned himself
in to authorities earlier this
month to face a second-de-
gree murder charge, mem-
bers of the New Black
Panthers had put out a
bounty for Zimmerman's ar-
rest. Protesters nationwide
had held rallies carrying
signs and chanting "Arrest
Zimmerman Now!" Be-
cause of the emotions sur-
rounding the case, O'Mara
said of Zimmerman's re-
lease: "I would much rather
do this safely than quickly"
O'Mara said he had sev-
eral options for where Zim-
merman should go, but he
wouldn't disclose them. The
judge appeared willing to
help keep Zimmerman's

Food pantry gives away Ram truck

DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle
A winner was drawn Saturday for the Dodge Ram Hemi Quad 1500 ST with Express Pack-
age at the Crystal Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership near Homosassa. Mr. Michalski was
drawn as the winner by John Dickey, representing the accounting firm of Williams, Mc-
Cranie, Wardlow and Cash. All proceeds go to benefit the capital campaign fund of Feed Cit-
rus County Food Bank and the We Care Food Pantry. Taking part in the drawing, pictured
from left, are: John Marmish, president of the board of Community Food Bank; John Dickey,
accountant, Williams McCranie, Wardlow & Cash; Diane Toto, president of We Care Food
Pantry; Jewel Lamb, owner of Crystal Motors.


The Week IN REVIEW


Editor's note: Loss, in
some form or fashion,
was the premise for a
majority of the top-read
stories in the Chronicle
this past week. Top
local stories included:
Lost 'turkeys'
One make that two -
losses that came as a blow to
Citrus County involved state
allocations.
Gov. Rick Scott vetoed
$100,000 earmarked to help
with cleanup efforts in
King's Bay as well as
$200,000 for a traffic signal
near the new West Citrus
Government Center, at State
Road 44 and Meadowcrest
Boulevard.
Having those projects
deemed as "turkeys" by
TaxWatch of Florida and the
governor elicited this re-
sponse from state Sen.
Charles Dean, who advo-
cated for the allocations: "A
traffic light is public safety
That water project is for
water quality There's not-
ing turkey about it"
No cannabinoids
Local stores that cater to
"legal" recreational-drug
consumers in Citrus County
are losing a source of
income.
Sheriff's officials are
dropping in on the mer-
chants and advising them of
a new law that bans the sale
of synthetic cannabinoids
known variously as K2 and


Spice Gold, as well as other
buzz-inducing pseudo-dope.
There's incentive to heed
the warning: Possession can
bring a felony charge.
Adios mobiles
County Planning and De-
velopment Review Board
folks are clearing the way
for the clearing of a dozen
aging mobile homes on land
near the RaceTrac station
in Homosassa.
Residents in eight of the
units will have to find new
digs, but were aware that
eviction was likely
The razing of the homes,
along with a couple of wood-
framed structures and a
couple of masonry build-
ings, will clear the way for
- you guessed it a Dollar
General store.
Love and loss
A 19-year-old man lost
some freedoms Thursday
when sentenced to four
years of sex offender proba-
tion for a relationship, when
18, with a 15-year-old girl.
The case was an emo-
tional loss for the girl's dad,
who sought to have the
young man adjudicated as a
sex offender for life and
incarcerated.
The judge exercised dis-
cretion in doling out the pun-
ishment under a "Romeo
and Juliet" law put in place
in 2007 to offer latitude in
sentencing older teens for
having consensual encoun-
ters with younger partners.


Timely collisions
Two sheriff's officials
were involved in separate
wrecks within a minute of
each other Monday
It was at a Homosassa in-
tersection where one
deputy, in a patrol car with
emergency gear activated,
encountered another mo-
torist in an unfortunate
manner. The two collided,
sending the deputy and his
vehicle spinning counter-
clockwise. The deputy re-
ceived minor injuries, but
his car sustained about
$5,000 in damage. Damage
to the other guy's vehicle
was estimated at $6,000.
That was at 2:39 p.m.
It was one minute later
and a short distance to the
south of the first wreck -
this one on Oak Village
Boulevard where a
deputy in an unmarked unit
was clipped by a passing
motorist, causing about
$2,000 in damage to the
deputy's car and $4,000 in
damage to the unsuccessful-
passer's car


Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Breast Augmentation


A Q&A with bo
Dr. James Rogers, D.M.D., M.D.




If I have implants, will I have
to get them replaced every 10 years?
No. Breast implants do not have a fixed lifespan; although, like all
medical devices, they should not be expected to last forever. Generally speaking,


if there is no implant failure (i.e. leakage) and a woman's
breasts don't change, they can be left in indefinitely.

Does it matter how large an implant I
choose, and are there limits as to how large
they should be?
A number of factors determine how large an implant a
patient should have. As a general rule, the more breast
tissue and body fat covering an implant, the better. Many of
the problems associated with implants, including implant
visibility, rippling or wrinkling, tend to increase with the
size of the implants.


Dr. James Rogers


Do breast implants increase the risk of BoardC 'wi.
getting breast cancer? Plastic Surgeon
There is no evidence that suggests breast implants increase
the risk of breast cancer or delay the detection of early breast cancer. All women 35
years or older should have a mammogram prior to having breast augmentation and
practice routine self-examination as well as have annual exams by their physician.

Do I have to go to the hospital to have my surgery?
No. Most of our outpatient procedures are done in our own ambulatory surgery center,
Paddock Park Surgery Center. The center is certified by the Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA) and is a fully staffed and equipped surgical facility.

Are silicone implants safe? Are they better than saline implants?
Both silicone and saline filled implants are safe. Which implant is better for a particular
patient depends on a number of factors. Generally speaking, if a patient has very little
breast tissue and body fat, silicone implants may be softer and less likely to "ripple" or
"wrinkle."This advantage diminishes with increased breast tissue.
Silicone implants are generally more expensive, and leakage may be more difficult to
detect. In addition, silicone implants are not available to women under 21 years of age.

Chamber awards county's finest


SHEMIR WILES
Staff Writer
CITRUS HILLS Only one
man has been awarded the honor
of being a lifetime member of the
Citrus County Chamber of
Commerce.
But Friday night, another out-
standing citizen joined the ranks
when chamber president and CEO
Josh Wooten presented renowned
Crystal River artist Don Mayo
with the Lifetime Chamber Mem-
ber Recognition.
Accepting the award with his
wife, Sue, by his side, Mayo said
when he moved to Crystal River in
1988, he thought it would be a
great place to live.
"And I still do," he said as the
crowd cheered.
Humbled and lost for words,
Mayo said he just enjoys doing
what he does best.
"I'm just caught off guard," he
said.
Mayo was one of 16 recipients at
the chamber's annual awards din-
ner at Citrus Hills Golf and Coun-
try Club.
Members of the chamber and
the community dressed in their
finest flapper or gangster-inspired
attire to complement the 1920s
theme of the evening.
However, the true spectacle of
the evening was the amount of
gratitude shared among the award
winners as they accepted their re-
wards for a job well done.

calling her a "ray of sunshine" and
someone who "has a smile that
will make you smile back."
"I always look for a miracle
everyday and there's so many mir-
acles in this room," Peters said
while accepting her award.


"Thank you so much."
In honor of her daughter, Citrus
County Tax Collector Janice War-
ren said she was honored to give
the Mandi Warren Richards Ris-
ing Star Award to Amy Kingery, a
young woman who exudes some of
the same qualities her daughter
possessed. Known for her work at

here was fierce, intense com- .
petition on the basketball
court Saturday at Lecanto High
School as 11 teams faced offdur-
Iing United Way of Citrus County's
third "April Madness" basketball
tournament.
The first game tipped offat 9 a.m., with L
contests going all day long. The tournament
culminated with its championship game,
where the winning team earns a trophy
Jennifer Barber, office manager with
United Way, said they would also be giving
out a sportsmanship award, in honor of-.
Lecanto High School basketball coach Chris
Nichols.
Hustling with streams of sweat pouring
down their faces, men and woman played in
the name of charity, though it was clear this .b"
wasn't just a friendly game of basketball for
some.
"The players all play hard," Roger Carl-4
son, who is on United Way's Board of Direc-
tors, said. "The competition gets tough."
Barber called it a "fighting" contest with
people who definitely play to win.
Watching the action from the sidelines,
Carlson said the event isn't a huge
fundraiser for United Way, but it does bring
the families out, and it's a way for United
Way to reach out to the youth in the county.
"So it's a fun time," he said.
This year, each team played twice, giving
losing teams a shot to redeem themselves

At the door, United Way accepted dona-
tions of non-perishable food or new clothing
for admission to the event. In addition, peo-

SILVER SPRINGS -A 660-
pound tortoise in central Florida
believed to be more than 100
years old has died.
The Ocala Star-Banner re-

The Aldabra tortoise was the

"The cool thing about this,
you first do it as a trial for
four to seven days," Hashim
said. "Ninety percent of my
patients love the sensation."
If the patient wants to do
it as a permanent solution, a
surgeon implants it.
"As a physician, it's so sat-
isfying; I see patients who
can barely walk in because
of their pain, and I put the
trial in and immediately
they walk out normally"
Hashim said he prefers
this method of pain man-

cotics; they prescribe pain

20 percent of Americans

Low back pain is the

leading cause of disabil-

"Narcotics cover up the
problems instead of attack-
ing the problem and taking
care of it," he said.
Fallows said spinal cord
stimulation has actually
cured cases of CRPS, com-
plex regional pain syn-
drome, if done early on.
"That was never an option
before," he said.
Other treatments used to
treat chronic pain include
injection therapies and
nerve blocks, topical creams
and gels and radio fre-
quency nerve ablation,
which uses an electrical
current produced by a radio
wave to heat up a small area
of nerve tissue.

More than half felt they
had little or no control
over their pain.
Almost two-thirds (59
percent) said their pain
impacted their overall en-

77 percent said they felt
depressed.
70 percent said they have
trouble concentrating.
86 percent said they
don't sleep well.
25 percent have seen a

38 percent have con-

one physician about their

Fallows said it's rare to
cure pain, but it can be
managed.
"We keep trying; we don't
give up on a patient," he
said. "If we can take some-
one's pain from a 10 down to
a 2, that's a big improve-
ment. If we can cut it from
debilitating to a nuisance,
that's a home run for us."

* Among the major adjust-

include: taking disability
leave from work (20 per-

percent), getting help for
everyday activities (13
percent) and moving to a
different, easier to live in

SUFFERING
Continued from Page Al

screws (from the surgery)
might've been coming out,"
Avery said.
The pain wouldn't go
away She said it was hor-
rendous, like electric cur-
rents shooting up her leg.
"She was a real basket
case for a while," said her
mother, Dolores Edwards.
"No one knew what was
wrong."
Almost as bad as the con-
stant pain was not being
taken seriously and being
told there was nothing
wrong with her, that the
pain was in her head.
Finally, a neurologist di-
agnosed her with RSD, re-
flex sympathetic dystrophy,
which has been renamed
complex regional pain
syndrome.
It's chronic, continuous,
debilitating pain, charac-
terized by an intensity
that's disproportionate to
the severity of the original
injury and gets worse over
time, not better.
Shoes are painful to
wear. A bed sheet on her
foot at night feels
excruciating.
At 45, Avery takes
methadone, which helps.
But she's always concerned
about addiction.
As for her quality of life,
if you ask her she'll say she
has none.
On disability, she can't
work. Her pain and her
$720 a month income se-
verely limit what she can
do.
"I watch TV," she said.
"The happiest hour of my
day is when 'Ellen' is on."
She's depressed. On the
outside she looks normal,
all tan and pretty when she
fixes her hair and puts on
her makeup.
When she does go out,
maybe up to Wal-Mart, peo-
ple either give her skepti-
cal looks when she's in a
cart or wheelchair or they
look past her.
"That feels belittling,"
she said. "They look right
past you."
At home she lives in a
sort of limbo. She said the
doctors have said she's not


"bad enough" for a Medi-
caid-approved electric cart,
yet it hurts to walk and she
can't afford to buy
one herself.
So, she sits and
fidgets, trying to
get comfortable.
She remembers
when she used to
dance and exer-
cise, go running -
walk to her mail- Tim H
box. Even if she living
could do that chronic
again, she'd feel pai
better about herself.
"She needs help," Ed-
wards said. "She's my
daughter and it hurts me to
see her in so much pain."
The doctors have sug-
gested implanting a spinal
cord stimulation device,
but that terrifies her.
"I manage the pain, but
there aren't enough drugs
in the world to take it
away," she said. "People
tell me to 'think positive,'
and I know they mean well,
but if it were that easy I
would've done that.
"Amy's not here any
more not the Amy I
know," she said. "This Amy
is just existing."
MEN
In 1997, Tim Hess was
on top of his boat that was
in his driveway and
jumped down from it onto
his lawn.
"I felt a twinge in my
back, but no big deal," he
said. "It was one of those
things, I was in my early 40s
and probably too old to
have done that, but didn't
realize it until after I did
it."
Later that night, he bent
over and ruptured a disc in
his back.
That was the beginning
of the end of his active
lifestyle of boating and bik-
ing, playing guitar with his
garage band, vacationing
with his family
From that time on, every-
thing revolved and still re-


volves around his back
pain.
"I got so bad that I had fu-
sion surgery in '99,"
S he said. "Everything
they did was correct,
but I did not get a
good result."
Hess retired as
the Chronicle's di-
rector of operations
in 2006.
less On an average day,
with his pain level is be-
back tween six and eight
n. on a scale of one to
10. Mornings are his worst
times; mid-day is best
"I'm never not in pain,
even with medication,"
Hess said. "You learn to
deal with it and change
your lifestyle to reduce the
chances of hurting yourself
more."
Hess, 54, said one of the
best things he has done was
to buy an iPad. Sitting at a
computer puts pressure on
his spine, which is painful.
With an iPad, he can do al-
most everything he wants
to do while reclining -
compose music, answer
emails, play games, com-
municate with people, read
news and books. An avid
photographer, he still takes
pictures and uses his iPad
to work on them.
His 4-year-old grand-
daughter, Haleigh, adds
tremendous quality to his
life, he said. When she's
over, they often spend time
in the pool together.
"Living with pain is a way
of life, and quality of life is
all about attitude," Hess
said. "I have hobbies I can
do despite being in a seden-
tary position, so that helps.
But it's mostly about ac-
cepting what I can't change
and making adjustments -
making the best of my
situation."

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Weekly ROUNDUP


The week in state government: $70B good, nearly $143M bad


MICHAEL PELTIER
The News Service of
Florida
TALLAHASSEE Gov.
Rick Scott signed a $70 bil-
lion budget this week as he
touted new money for edu-
cation, but wielded more
than $142 million in vetoes
for projects he said the
cash-strapped state can't
afford.
Facing a budget that had
already been cut after suc-
cessive years of tough eco-
nomic times, the governor's
veto pen used less ink this
time, as he marked out far
less than the $600 million he
axed a year ago.
The courts were also busy
this week, as cases dealing
with congressional and state
Senate reapportionment
wound their way through
separate courts. The
Florida Supreme Court took
a look at revised maps for
the state Senate, while a few
blocks away a circuit judge
took arguments in a tussle
over congressional districts
drawn by the Republican-
led Legislature.
Meanwhile, the focus con-
tinued on the killing of 17-
year-old Trayvon Martin by
a neighborhood watch vol-
unteer back in February A
day before shooter George
Zimmerman appeared on
his own behalf, apologized
to Martin's family and was
released on $150,000 bail,
Scott introduced members
of a committee set up to re-
view Florida's controversial
"stand your ground" law
and related issues dealing
with race, guns and citizen
protection.
Serving as a backdrop,
businesses and individuals
marked two years since the
BP Deepwater Horizon oil
spill shut down Florida's
tourism and seafood
industries.
Whether coincidental or
not, the company this week
outlined a $7.8 billion class
action settlement that
comes in additional to
nearly $6.3 billion already
spent.
Budget
Scott kicked off the week
by signing the state's $70 bil-
lion budget. Meeting with


Associated Press
Florida Gov. Rick Scott talks with children Tuesday at Cunningham Creek Elementary School in Fruit Cove before signing
the state budget. Standing behind the Governor, from left, are Rep. Ronald "Doc" Renuart, Sen. Stephen Wise (not shown),
Sen. John Thrasher and Rep. Fred Costello.


elementary school students
at Cunningham Creek Ele-
mentary School in St. Johns
County, Scott used the occa-
sion to tout a $1 billion in-
crease in K-12 funding, a
boost that critics were quick
to point out does not make
up for nearly $1.3 billion in
cuts made last year to state
public schools.
"This budget is an educa-
tion budget," Scott told a
small crowd of squirming
but quiet elementary stu-
dents at the school.
But attention turned to
what the governor did not
allow to remain in the
state's spending blueprint.
From local museums and
neighborhood development
projects to bigger items,
Scott downsized the budget.
Among the vetoes was $2
million less for attorneys to
represent low-income resi-
dents through foreclosure
proceedings, domestic vio-
lence hearings and con-
sumer fraud cases. Critics
say the cuts to the state's
civil legal assistance pro-
gram will mean a 25 percent
reduction in the number of
attorneys available for legal
assistance on civil matters
in the coming year
On the health care front,


$38.2 million in vetoes hit
the health- and human-ser-
vices section of the budget,
and some money for health-
related projects also was
eliminated from other parts
of the spending plan.
The vetoes were only a
tiny fraction of the roughly
$29.9 billion the state ex-
pects to spend in 2012-13 on
health- and human-services
programs, but still are ex-
pected to be felt by hospitals
and others in health care.
"I focus on the hundreds
and hundreds of projects
and meritorious programs
that were funded," said Sen.
Joe Negron, R-Stuart and
chairman of the Senate
HHS budget committee.
In a letter issued as part
of the budget-signing, Scott
praised legislative decisions
such as setting aside money
for development of a new
hospital-payment system in
Medicaid and providing
money for mental-health
and substance-abuse
programs.
Redistricting
Democrats and three vot-
ing-rights organizations
asked a Leon County judge to
throw out newly-passed con-
gressional districts this week


in a battle likely to make its
way to the Florida Supreme
Court, maybe further
In several hours of argu-
ments before Circuit Court
Judge Terry Lewis, the
groups accused the Legisla-
ture of racial and political
gerrymandering. The Legis-
lature's lawyer countered
that the Democrat's objec-
tions would mean black vot-
ers would be parceled out
among districts that would
subsequently elect white
Democrats.
The case marks the first
time a court has reviewed
the congressional plan
under the anti-gerryman-
dering Fair Districts
amendments, approved by
voters in a November 2010
referendum.
On Friday, the Florida
Supreme got into action as it
reviewed, for the second
time, maps outlining the
state's Senate districts. Dur-
ing testimony, the high court
appeared to blunt argu-
ments by Fair Districts that
the revised plans still do not
satisfy requirements under
the act.
Rich in race
Senate Democratic leader
Nan Rich confirmed this


week she'll run for governor
in 2014, the first to toss a hat
in the ring to challenge the
Republican governor.
The Democrat from We-
ston, in Broward County,
said comments she made to
Broward Democrats on
Tuesday evening weren't in-
tended as a formal an-
nouncement, but confirmed
she's in and "formulating a
strategic and financial plan."
Asked whether a liberal
Jewish woman from South
Florida can succeed in a
statewide race, Rich said
voters would have to decide
that
BP spill
Meanwhile Floridians
marked the second anniver-
sary of the BP Deepwater
Horizon oil spill this week
as the oil company came to
terms with parties in a class
action lawsuit over the ex-
plosion and fire that killed
11 and sent 4.9 million bar-
rels of crude into the Gulf.
Two years after the explo-
sion, BP has paid nearly
$2.7 billion in claims to
Florida businesses and in-
dividuals for damages
caused by the worst spill in
U.S. history
Florida regions economi-


cally devastated by the spill
that began April 20, 2010,
have generally rebounded,
as tourists have returned to
the beaches.
Along with payments to
individuals and businesses
totaling more than $6.3 bil-
lion to date, BP has spent
millions more to reimburse
local and state governments
from Louisiana to Florida
on an array of fronts, from
helping market Florida
seafood to restoring sand
dunes and building parks in
the Pensacola area.
But despite the dollars
spent, critics say the long-
range effects of the spill may
take years to ascertain, while
the issue slips from the col-
lective memory of state and
federal officials charged
with making sure BP pays to
clean up the mess.
Stand your ground
Gov Rick Scott on Thurs-
day named the members of
a task force formed to look
at the state's self-defense
law in the wake of Trayvon
Martin's shooting death Feb.
26.
Last month, as national
outrage grew about the lack
of an arrest in the case, Scott
announced the task force
and tapped Lt. Gov Jennifer
Carroll to chair it. But he
said at the time he would not
name the panel members or
schedule their first meeting
until the criminal investiga-
tion was complete.
Now, with special prose-
cutor Angela Corey's an-
nouncement last week that
the acknowledged shooter,
neighborhood watch volun-
teer George Zimmerman,
would face second-degree
murder charges, Scott said
the task force will meet
starting May 1.
STORY OF THE
WEEK: Gov Scott signs $70
billion budget, touts $1 bil-
lion for education.
QUOTE OF THE
WEEK: "We're not walking
into this with any precon-
ceived notions. We live in a
state where the crime rate is
at a 40-year low, and I want
to keep it that way." Gov.
Rick Scott on naming a com-
mission to examine the
state's "stand your ground"
self-defense law.

Floral City continues


preserving history


MARCIA BEASLEY
Special to the Pioneer
Floral City Heritage Council will gather
for its spring quarterly meeting Tuesday,
April 24, at the Floral City Community
House on Orange Avenue in Floral City.
A member and guest potluck dinner
starts at 7 p.m., followed by the "Snippet of
History" at 7:30 p.m., and then the quarterly
meeting.
The public is invited to the "Snippet of
History" presentation "The Historic Duval
House," which will be presented by Chair-
man Frank Peters and member H.D. Bas-
sett. This is the oldest house in Floral City
and is thought to be the oldest continuously
used residence in Citrus County. Situated
on the corner of Orange Avenue and Old
Floral City Road, it was built by early Flo-
ral City landowner, John Paul Formy-Duval,
in the mid-1860s.
This one-acre property with house was
recently purchased by the Duval descen-
dants through the formation of the Duval
Historic Preservation Trust. One may ex-
pect to hear more as fundraising and
restoration begin.
At the general membership meeting, Pe-
ters will share the results of events com-
pleted and plans for activities to come in
the summer.
One of those activities includes the


fundraiser in partnership with the Floral
City Garden Club: 'A Garden Tour with His-
torical Overtones, Including Art, Music and
a Chocolate Tasting"
This event will take place from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. Saturday, May 19, and 1 to 4 p.m. Sun-
day, May 20.
In addition, information about the initial
plans for Floral City Heritage Days 2012
slated for Nov 30 and Dec. 1 will be pre-
sented.
Now that the office, kitchen and restroom
are renovated at Floral City Heritage Mu-
seum, the council will stage a "Museum
Shower." Any useful item for less than $5
that can be used by the council in any one
of these rooms will be welcomed.
A small thank-you gift will be given at this
meeting to all who bring a shower gift for
the museum.
Members are also reminded to bring a
plate and tableware for the dinner and a
nonperishable food item or a grocery store
gift card for the Citrus County Veterans
Coalition Food Pantry
Visitors are welcome to join the council,
which provides a 12-month membership
plus full privileges in the Citrus County

whereabouts secret in the
court file, as O'Mara re-
quested.
"I don't know where we're
going to end up," O'Mara
said after the bail hearing.
"It's a very difficult decision
to make. It's an enormously
high-profile case, and there
are just a lot of emotions
that exist"
In Anthony's case, Baez
had the cooperation of sher-
iff's deputies who blocked
traffic from the Orange
County Jail and entrances to
a nearby interstate so they
could have unimpeded ac-
cess to the highway during
her late-night release. An-
thony later made her way to
Ohio without being de-
tected, but had to return to
an undisclosed location in
Florida to serve out proba-
tion on a check-fraud
charge.
A spokeswoman for the
Seminole County Sheriff's
Office said late Friday that

sit down," Long said. "The
smallest rise or fall now
causes the springs to
reverse."
At about 50 cubic feet of
water per second, both Fan-
ning and Manatee springs
are at about half the flow
that typically categorized
them as first magnitude
springs. Fanning's decline,
according to SRWMD
records, has been slow and
steady during the last year,
while Manatee has seen a
sharp decline from more
than 150 cubic feet per sec-
ond a year ago.
Levy County representa-
tives reported recently that
Bronson Blue Springs has
ceased flowing, and repre-
sentatives from two of
Williston's most popular at-
tractions, Blue Grotto and
Devil's Den, also report
record low levels.
Dan Fisher, who has
worked at Blue Grotto for
about 14 years, said he's
never seen the spring's level
so low.
"The water is dropping
like a rock," he said Friday
"It's probably a good 10 feet
down from the average."
According to Fisher, it
measures at about 100 feet
at its deepest point on aver-
age. He said he's noticed
levels dropping for the past
two years.
Fisher said the lack of
rain is certainly an issue,
but agriculture and devel-
opment also play a part,
both of which, unlike rain,
can be managed.
"Florida is just totally
being destroyed," he said.
"The economy is the only
thing anybody cares about
anymore. Gotta make
money But once you destroy
everything that everybody
came here for, what's left?"
Rowena Thomas, who co-
manages Devil's Den, said
Friday the spring is down
about 12 feet from its aver-
age of about 60 feet
"Residents are con-
cerned," she said. "I would
be too if I had wells. If
you're not concerned about
it, you're putting your head
in the sand."
There have been 71 wells
reporting record low levels
for March, according to
SRWMD.
Jamie Storey, owner of
Action Pump Repair and
Well Drilling in Old Town,
said he's seen a lot of wells
go dry in the past year.
"A lot of the 30- to 40-foot
wells are drying up right
now," he said. "A lot of them
are starting to pump air and
sand."
He said wells went dry
during the drought in the
early 2000s as well, though
most of those were shal-


lower wells, extending on
average only about 20 feet
into the ground. From that
time, he said, water levels
have continued to drop.
Storey said most of the
wells he's seen run dry re-
cently are in the Dixie
County area. People have
had to extend wells to get
their pumps farther down,
sometimes having to pur-
chase a more powerful
pump.
Jody Stephenson, owner
of Stephenson Septic Tank
Services Inc., of Old Town,
said he contracts out a lot of

STATE/LOCAL


no special arrangements
like that had been made yet
for Zimmerman's release.
But Baez said law en-
forcement officials would
be called on to safely get
him out of jail and away
from media. "From then on,
it's really up to Mr. Zimmer-
man as to whether he's
going to be able to keep a
low profile," he said.
Baez said he expects
there to be a cooling-off pe-
riod over the next couple of
months as Zimmerman
fades from the spotlight, and
the public's attention moves
on.
But until then, Zimmer-
man's attorneys should ex-
pect intense interest in
where Zimmerman is, said
Kendall Coffey, a former
U.S. Attorney in Miami who
is now in private practice.
"I think they have to be
prepared for a manhunt by
not only members of the
media but curious onlook-
ers," Coffey said. "The
whereabouts of George Zim-
merman will be one of the
most intriguing curiosities
of the legal world in the


pair and is running into the
same problems.
"There are a lot of wells
going dry, mostly in Dixie
County. But it's all around,
Levy and Gilchrist. Every-
body's in the same boat," he
said last week.
The problem, which
started about two years ago,
has gotten worse in the last
year, he said.
Steve Quinata, owner of
Williston Well and Pump
Inc., said he's been seeing
wells run dry in Morriston,
Williston and in areas closer
to Gainesville. He said the
problem became most ap-
parent at the beginning of
the year
Still, SRWMD board
members continue to issue
permits for millions of gal-
lons of water withdrawals a
day
On April 10, the board ap-
proved for a third time tem-
porary permits initially
approved in December for
about 3.9 million gallons of
water a day to three farms
operating in the Lower
Suwannee River Basin
wishing to expand
operations.
The William Douberly
Farm, Alliance Grazing
Group (Lancala) and its sis-
ter operation, Piedmont
Dairy Farm, are in total
permitted to use about 6.3
million gallons of water a
day. Combined, the farms
will be using 15 new spray
pivots for irrigation pur-
poses, according to SRWMD
records.
Long said she thinks peo-
ple would be shocked to
know that taxpayers eat the
lion's share of the cost of


coming weeks."
Post-bail security costs
don't come cheap, either,
and it could be extremely
difficult for Zimmerman to
pay for it. His attorney is
considering having him de-
clared indigent, and his wife
has no income because she
is in nursing school and
does not work.
In an extreme case, it cost
some $200,000 a month to
keep Dominique Strauss-
Kahn under house arrest at
a luxury Manhattan town
house when he was accused
of assaulting a hotel maid.
Disgraced financier
Bernard Madoff was pro-
tected by 24-hour-a-day
armed guards and cameras
recording his every move.
Retired federal and high-
ranking New York City po-
lice officers kept tabs on
everything at his secured
Upper East Side penthouse,
even deliveries to the
building.
Once he is situated in
his new location, Zimmer-
man needs to never be
alone so he can have some-
one at his side should a


such pivots when farmers
expand operations.
"We are out of water, and
the feds and the state are
helping farmers get 80 per-
cent cost share for circle
pivots for new land. That is
insane!" she said.
John Sage Jr, who lives
between Fowlers Bluff and
Chiefland, complained last
week about the installation
of new pivots on farms near
his home.
"It's OK if there's plenty of
water," he said. "But I don't
see me or anyone else, just
regular people, losing their
wells."
Sage, who has lived in the
area for 25 years, said he's
never seen the water situa-
tion so bad. He also said he
does his part to conserve
water, something SRWMD
asks residents to do.
But he is losing his gar-
den, and he's starting to see
a lot of iron in his water
He said he's not sure if he
can afford the $3,500 it
would cost him to increase
the size of the pipe his well
uses.
If he could address the
water district, he said, "I'd
ask them to curtail water
use. These guys use enough
water for a small city."
And that's another prob-
lem, Long said. The district
doesn't actually know how
much water farmers are
using because the vast ma-
jority of agricultural wells
are not monitored.
"My theory is that they're
using a whole lot more
water than they are permit-
ted for," said Long, who has
been attending SRWMD
meetings regularly for sev-

When enough springs quit
flowing, she said, parts of
the aquifer will be inun-

River water has high dis-
solved oxygen levels that can
spur the quick release of

sulpher and arsenic found

County & State BRIEFS


Budget workshop
April 24 at auditorium
Due to citizen interest in the
budget process, the Citrus
County Board of County Com-

budget workshop at 5 p.m.
Tuesday, April 24, to the Citrus
County Auditorium, 3610 S.
Florida Ave., Inverness (Citrus
County Fairgrounds).
The auditorium is not
equipped to accommodate live
television feed; therefore the
budget workshop will not be a
live broadcast, but will be avail-
able for viewing by May 1 on
the Clerk of the Court's website
at www.clerk.citrus.fl.us.
This is a workshop; therefore
there will be no vote by the
Board of County Commission-
ers at this meeting.
For information, call Public
Information Officer Lindsay Ubi-
nas at 352-527-5484.
Congregation to
remember Holocaust
The annual Yom Hashoah -
Holocaust Remembrance Pro-
gram for Citrus County will take
place at 2 p.m. Sunday, April
22, at Congregation Beth
Sholom of Citrus County in
KellnerAuditorium (62 Civic
Circle, Beverly Hills).
This year's program is "Es-
cape to Shanghai," featuring
Manny Bloch (former president
of the congregation), who will
talk about his life from Berlin to
Shanghai to the United States.
More than 20,000 Jews sur-
vived the Holocaust living in
Japanese-occupied Shanghai.
It is a story of courage, luck and
survival.
A special presentation, "GIs
Remember," which includes in-
dividual photographs and narra-
tives of servicemen who
witnessed the liberation of Nazi
concentration camps, will be on
display. For more information,
call Karl Seidman, chairman of
the Commemoration Commit-
tee, at 352-344-1531.
Friends seek
answers in deaths
WINTER PARK The fam-
ily and friends of two central
Florida teenagers whose bod-
ies were found engulfed in


flames are trying to help find
out who is responsible for their
deaths.
The Orlando Sentinel re-
ported more than two dozen
people passed out flyers Satur-
day with details about a reward
for information leading to an
arrest.
The bodies of 16-year-old
Nicholas Presha and 18-year-
old Jeremy Stewart were found
about a week ago by bicyclists
on an Orange County trail. Both
teens were students at Winter
Park High School and said to
be best friends.
Few details have been re-
leased on their deaths.
Crimeline has offered a re-
ward of $5,000 for information
leading to an arrest; a fund set
up at United Legacy Bank by
the families will be used to bol-
ster that amount.
Boy tests positive
for cocaine
JACKSONVILLE Jack-
sonville police have charged a
man with child neglect after a 4-
year-old boy tested positive for
cocaine.
The Florida Times-Union re-
ported police responded to a
complaint of prostitution and
narcotics activity at a Candle-
wood Suites hotel room
Wednesday.
When they arrived and
knocked on the door, a 4-year-
old boy answered and said, "Hi,
policeman."
The door was then abruptly
shut.
Officers were eventually able
to get inside the room, where
they found a substance that
tested positive for crack cocaine
on a table and on the floor.
The boy was taken to a hos-
pital, where he tested positive
for cocaine. Quentine Crawford
has been charged with posses-
sion of cocaine. Matthew Rea-
gan is charged with renting a
space for prostitution and will-
fully neglecting a child, among
other charges.

From pollution to politics

EPA's progress
DINA CAPPIELLO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A pol-
luted drainage ditch that
once flowed with industrial
waste from Lake Charles,
La., petrochemical plants
teems with overgrown, wild
plants today.
A light-rail line zips past
the spot where a now-de-
funct Portland, Ore., gaso-
line station advertised in
1972 it had run out of gas.
A smoking Jersey City, N.J.,
dump piled with twisted,
rusty metal has disappeared,
along with the twin towers of
the World Trade Center in
lower Manhattan that were
its backdrop.
Forty years after the En-
vironmental Protection
Agency sent an army of
nearly 100 photographers
across the country to cap-
ture images at the dawn of
environmental regulation,
The Associated Press went
back for Earth Day this year
to see how things have
changed. It is something the
agency never got to do be-
cause the Documerica pro-
gram, as it was called, died
in 1978, the victim of budget
cuts.
AP photographers re-
turned to more than a dozen
of those locations in recent
weeks, from Portland to
Cleveland and Corpus
Christi, Texas. Of the 20,000
photos in the archive, the
AP selected those focused
on environmental issues,
rather than the more gen-
eral shots of everyday life in
the 1970s.
Gone are the many obvi-
ous signs of pollution -
clouds of smoke billowing
from industrial chimneys,
raw sewage flowing into
rivers, garbage strewn over
beaches and roadsides -
that heightened environ-
mental awareness in the
1970s, and led to the first
Earth Day and the EPA's
creation in 1970.
Such environmental con-
sciousness caused Congress
to pass almost unanimously
some of the country's
bedrock environmental laws

Army data gives snapshot

of drug trade in war zone


Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
U.S. Army has investigated
56 soldiers in Afghanistan
on suspicion of using or
distributing heroin, mor-
phine or other opiates dur-
ing 2010 and 2011, newly
obtained data shows. Eight
soldiers died of drug over-
doses during that time.
While the cases repre-
sent just a slice of possible
drug use by U.S. troops in
Afghanistan, they provide
a somber snapshot of the il-
licit trade in the war zone:
young Afghans peddling
heroin, soldiers dying after
mixing cocktails of opiates,
troops stealing from med-
ical bags, Afghan soldiers
and police dealing drugs to
their U.S. comrades.
In a country awash with
poppy fields that provide
up to 90 percent of the
world's opium, the U.S.
military struggles to keep


an eye on its far-flung
troops and monitor for sub-
stance abuse.
U.S. Army officials say
that while the presence of
such readily available
opium, the raw ingredient
for heroin, is a concern,
opiate abuse has not been
a pervasive problem for
troops in Afghanistan.
The data represents only
criminal investigations
done by Army Criminal In-
vestigation Command in-
volving soldiers in
Afghanistan during those
two years.
The cases, therefore, are
just a piece of the broader
drug use statistics released
by the Army this year re-
porting nearly 70,000 drug
offenses by roughly 36,000
soldiers between 2006 and
2011.
The number of offenses
increased from about 9,400
in 2010 to about 11,200 in
2011.

in the years that followed.
Today's pollution prob-
lems aren't as easy to see or
to photograph. Some in in-
dustry and politics question
whether environmental reg-
ulation has gone too far, and
whether the risks are worth
addressing, given their costs.
Republican presidential
contender Mitt Romney has
called for the firing of EPA
chief Lisa Jackson, while
GOP rival Newt Gingrich
has said the EPA should be
replaced altogether. Jack-
son has faced tough ques-
tioning on Capitol Hill so
often the in past two years a
top Republican quipped
that she needs her own
parking spot.


"To a certain extent, we
are a victim of our own suc-
cess," said William Ruck-
elshaus, who headed the
EPA when it came into exis-
tence under Republican
President Richard Nixon
and was in charge during
the Documerica project.
"Right now, EPA is under
sharp criticism partially be-
cause it is not as obvious to
people that pollution prob-
lems exist and that we need
to deal with them."
Environmental laws that
passed Congress so easily in
Ruckelshaus' day are now at
the center of a partisan dis-
pute between Republicans
and Democrats. Dozens of
bills have been introduced


to limit environmental pro-
tections critics say will lead
to job losses and economic
harm, and there are those
who question what the vast
majority of scientists accept
- that the burning of fossil
fuels is causing global
warming.
In the 1970s, the first en-
vironmental regulations
were just starting to take ef-
fect, with widespread sup-
port. Now, according to
some officials in the oil and
gas and electric utility in-
dustries, which are respon-
sible for the bulk of
emissions and would bear
the greatest costs, the EPA
has gone overboard with
rules.

Sean Penn says he's in Haiti for the long haul


Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
- Sean Penn no longer lives
in a tent, surrounded by
some 40,000 desperate peo-
ple camped on a muddy golf
course. And he no longer
rushes about the capital
with a Glock pistol tucked in
his waistband, hefting bags
of donated rice and warning
darkly of a worsening hu-
manitarian crisis.
But the actor who
stormed onto the scene of
one of the worst natural dis-
asters in history has cer-
tainly not lost interest.
Defying skeptics, he has put
down roots in Haiti, a coun-
try he hadn't even visited
before the January 2010
earthquake, and has be-
come a major figure in the
effort to rebuild.
"At the beginning, we
thought he was going to be
like one of the celebrities
who don't spend the night,"
said Maryse Kedar, presi-
dent of an education foun-
dation who has worked
alongside Penn. "I can tell
you that Sean surprised a
lot of people here. Haiti be-
came his second home."
Penn's role has evolved
over the two years of Haiti's
meandering recovery He
started as the head of a
band of volunteers, mor-
phed into the unofficial
mayor of the golf course-
turned-homeless camp and
became a member of what
passes for Haiti's establish-
ment a part of the presi-
dent's circle who addresses
investors at aid conferences
and represents this tumble-
down Caribbean country to
the world.
He is now an ambassador-
at-large for President
Michel Martelly, the first
non-Haitian to receive the
designation, and the CEO of
the J/P Haitian Relief Or-
ganization, a rapidly grow-
ing and increasingly
prominent aid group. The
actor, who is being honored
for his work in Haiti April 25
with the 2012 Peace Summit
Award at the 12th World
Summit of Nobel Peace
Laureates in Chicago, has
yoked himself to an unlikely
cause: helping a country
that has lurched from one
calamity to another.
"This country is finally
getting out of the hole," he

Penn, right, walk with children during a visit to the makeshift camp in the Petionville Golf
Club in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The actor who stormed onto the scene of one of the worst
natural disasters in history two years ago has certainly not lost interest. Defying skeptics,
he has put down roots in Haiti, a country he hadn't even visited before the January 2010
earthquake, and has become a major figure in the effort to rebuild.


said in an interview with
The Associated Press at a
house in the Haitian capital
that serves as his NGO's
crash pad, with rooms di-
vided by plywood and a sign
in the kitchen saying no sec-
onds until everyone has had
a chance to eat.
It's strange to see a
celebrity of his stature in
these surroundings. He
brings glamour to a country
that has none, where the
streets are largely dirt and
most people don't have in-
door plumbing, not to men-
tion any kind of steady job.
His leftist politics don't
seem like a match for right-
of-center Martelly, and his
leadership of an aid group
partially funded by the U.N.
doesn't square with his con-
tempt for foreign NGOs. His
salty language is not exactly
diplomatic.
But maybe there is a kind
of weird logic to Penn's ad-
venture in Haiti. He is an
actor whose most famous
roles are underdogs and
whose politics frequently
put him at odds with the
U.S. government, embracing
the likes of Venezuela's so-
cialist President Hugo
Chavez. Haiti is a land of
contrasts and contradic-
tions, a poor country in the


shadow of the U.S., a place
of inspiration and despair.
Or maybe he just wanted
to help, said Bichat
Laroque, a 26-year-old who
lives with his mother in the
displaced persons camp
managed by Penn's NGO:
"He married Madonna and
he made a lot of money and
after a terrible earthquake
he says, 'Let's do good things
in Haiti.'"
MEN
When not at home in Los
Angeles, Penn spends about
half his time in Haiti and
public sightings are com-
mon. On a recent morning at
the camp his group man-
ages, at the Petionville Club,
he lumbered through wear-
ing faded jeans, a plaid but-
ton-down shirt and aviator
sunglasses, greeted by resi-
dents in English ("Sean, my
friend!") and Creole ("Bon-
jou, Sean!")
He sat down on the ter-
race of the house overlook-
ing the tarp-covered
shanties, and talked for
more than an hour because
the subject was Haiti, a
topic he riffs on with a pas-
sionate, sometimes ram-
bling intensity, sprinkled
with the obscenities. When
it comes to the mission of
his outfit, he veers toward


grandiose, even choking up
at times.
"My job is to help people
get the future they want to
have," he said.
The Haiti that Penn saw
when he arrived in the
country for the first time,
about a week after the
earthquake, was apocalyp-
tic, a tableau of death and
destruction that shocked
the world.
Port-au-Prince, the
densely packed capital with
an estimated 3 million peo-
ple, was shaken by a magni-
tude 7.0 earthquake on Jan.
12, 2010, which flattened
thousands of schools filled
with students and offices
filled with workers. Officials
estimated the death toll at
more than 300,000, an equal
number injured, and at least
1.5 million homeless. The
government was crippled;
aid groups were swamped.
Benjamin Krause, the
country director for Penn's
group, said the quake res-
onated with the actor in part
because his son, Hopper,
had recently recovered
from a skateboarding acci-
dent that caused a serious
head injury
"Sean turns on the televi-
sion and sees parents next to


children holding their hands
as they are having surgeries
in the streets with no pain
medication whatsoever," he
said. "It moved him to call up
all the people he could to get
pain medication lined up
and as many medical profes-
sionals as possible."
He also may have been in
search of a cause. A 2010
Vanity Fair profile sug-
gested as much, saying he
had been rudderless, de-
spite his movie success, fol-
lowing the death of his
brother, Chris, in 2006 and
the divorce from Robin
Wright Penn in 2009.
Penn and Diana Jenkins,
a Southern California phi-
lanthropist, put together a
planeload of supplies and
volunteers seven doctors
and 23 relief workers. They
called themselves the Jenk-
ins/Penn Haitian Relief Or-
ganization, which changed
to J/P HRO after her in-
volvement waned.
The actor, who carried a
gun in the chaotic early
days, landed with his co-
terie at the Petionville Club,
where they found a contin-
gent from the U.S. Army's
82nd Airborne Division.
Penn embedded with the
military, and his involve-
ment grew from there.
He soon started showing
up at meetings of aid offi-
cials trying to coordinate
the disparate relief efforts.
"He would sit down like
everyone else and listen,"
said Giovanni Cassani of the
International Organization
for Migration.
Former U.S. President
Bill Clinton, a U.N. special
envoy to Haiti, was among
those impressed with
Penn's efforts.
"He was not a drive-by
celebrity," Clinton said in a
recent interview. "He went
into those camps and he was
actually solving their water
problems, solving their san-
itation problems."
J/P HRO now operates out
of airy office space in a for-
mer school, has a fleet of
trucks and heavy equip-
ment, a staff of 300 and hires
so many laborers to clear
rubble that on some days it's
the largest employer in
Petionville, one of several
cities that make up the cap-
ital region.


The irony is that Penn has
been a critic of foreign non-
governmental organizations
in Haiti, so plentiful that the
country has been ridiculed
as the "Republic of NGOs."
He still tells the story of a
"very reputable" NGO
whose actions after the
quake were "akin to the
worst of Hollywood ambi-
tion." Penn's group had do-
nated a shipment of
painkillers, but distribution
was delayed, he said, so the
organization that would
hand out the drugs could
affix stickers on the boxes
and get credit.
"What's wrong with NGOs
goes much deeper in terms
of development and in
terms of emergency relief
and the lack of coordination
of the two," Penn said.
"Everybody waits for some-
body to demonstrate that
something's going to be im-
pressive to donors to steal
the idea from the person
that actually did it and then
try to sell it as their thing
until that gains or loses
popularity."
He ridiculed what he sees
as the typical "NGO person"
or "U.N. person" as out of
touch and ineffective. "It's
Lance Armstrong on a sta-
tionary bike saying, 'I'll get
there as soon as the corrup-
tion is over,"' he said.
Penn and his staff say
their mission evolved as
new challenges surfaced.
They started managing the
camp, then took over the
clinic when the Army pulled
out, and did the same with
the schools, allowing other
groups, including Save the
Children, to focus
elsewhere.
To move people off the
club's steeply sloping golf
course and make room for
them outside the camp, they
cleared 250,000 cubic me-
ters of rubble, provided
rental assistance, repaired
damaged homes and subsi-
dized a local bakery to cre-
ate jobs.
Outside the country club,
they run a community cen-
ter and two clinics, treating
2,000 patients a week, and
are building a new school.
"I always describe us as
an airplane that built itself
after takeoff," Penn said.

Watergate figure

Charles Colson dies


Associated Press
WASHINGTON He was
described as the "evil genius"
of the Nixon administration,
and spent the better part of a
year in prison for a Water-
gate-related conviction. His
proclamations following his
release that he was a new
man, redeemed by his reli-
gious faith, were met with
more than skepticism by
those angered at the abuses
he had perpetrated as one of
Nixon's hatchet men.
But Charles "Chuck" Col-
son spent the next 35 years
steadfast in his efforts to
evangelize to a part of soci-
ety scorned just as he was.
And he became known per-
haps just as much for his ef-
forts to minister to prison
inmates as for his infamy
with Watergate.
Colson died Saturday at
age 80. His death was con-
firmed by Jim Liske, chief
executive of the Lansdowne,
Va.-based Prison Fellowship
Ministries that Colson
founded. Liske said the pre-
liminary cause of death was
complications from brain
surgery Colson had at the
end of March. He under-
went the surgery to remove
a clot after becoming ill
March 30 while speaking at
a conference.
In 1972, The Washington
Post called him "one of the
most powerful presidential
aides, variously described as
a troubleshooter and as a
'master of dirty tricks."'
"I shudder to think of
what I'd been if I had not
gone to prison," Colson said
in 1993. "Lying on the rotten
floor of a cell, you know it's
not prosperity or pleasure
that's important, but the ma-
turing of the soul."
He helped run the Com-
mittee to Re-elect the Presi-
dent when it set up an effort
to gather intelligence on the
Democratic Party.
But it was actions that pre-
ceded the actual Watergate
break-in that resulted in Col-
son's criminal conviction.
Colson pleaded guilty to ef-
forts to discredit Pentagon
analyst Daniel Ellsberg. It
was Ellsberg who had leaked
the secret Defense Depart-
ment study of Vietnam that
became known as the Penta-
gon Papers. The efforts to
discredit Ellsberg included
use of Nixon's plumbers a
covert group established to
investigate White House
leaks in 1971 to break into
the office of Ellsberg's psy-
chiatrist to look for informa-
tion that could discredit
Ellsberg's anti-war efforts.
The Ellsberg burglary was
revealed during the course of
the Watergate investigation
and became an element in
the ongoing scandal. Colson
pleaded guilty in 1974 to ob-
struction of justice in connec-
tion with attempts to discredit
Ellsberg, though charges
were dropped that Colson ac-
tually played a role in the
burglary of Ellsberg's psychi-
atrist's office. Charges related
to the actual Watergate bur-
glary and cover-up were also
dropped. He served seven
months in prison.
Before Colson went to
prison, he became a born-
again Christian. Colson
stayed with his faith after Wa-
tergate and went on to win
praise including the pres-
tigious Templeton Prize for
Progress in Religion- for his
efforts to use itto help others.
Colson later called going to
prison a "great blessing."
He created the Prison
Fellowship Ministries in
1976 to minister to prison-
ers, ex-prisoners and their
families. It runs work-re-
lease programs, marriage
seminars and classes to
help prisoners after they get
out. An international off-
shoot established chapters
around the world.


Associated Press
Charles Colson bears testi-
mony Aug. 2, 2000, at a con-
ference for evangelical
Protestants at Amsterdam's
RAI congress center. Colson,
the tough-as-nails special
counsel to President Richard
Nixon who went to prison for
his role in a Watergate-
related case and became a
Christian evangelical helping
inmates, has died. He was
80. Jim Liske, chief execu-
tive of the Lansdowne-based
Prison Fellowship Ministries
that Colson founded, said
Colson died Saturday.

Kony not


biggest threat


Associated Press
RIVER VOVODO, Central
African Republic For
Ugandan soldiers tasked
with catching Joseph Kony,
the real threat is not the
elusive Central Africa war-
lord and his brutal gang.
Encounters with the Lord's
Resistance Army rebels are
so rare that Kony hunters
worry more about the
threats of the jungle: armed
poachers, wild beasts,
honey bees and even a fly
that torments their ears.
A soldier crossing the


Chinko River in the Central
African Republic on
Wednesday was drowned
and mauled by a crocodile.
This week's crocodile at-
tack was the second in two
months, highlighting the per-
ils of trying to catch a rebel
leader about whom so little is
known and who could be
anywhere in the Central
Africa jungle. There have
been no signs of Kony in a
long time, and the soldiers
whose goal it is to catch him
are in fact more likely to be
killed by elephants and
snakes in their path.

Ugandan soldiers working as technicians Friday request a
military helicopter to bring them water deep inside the jun-
gle. For Ugandan soldiers tasked with catching Joseph
Kony, the real threat is not the elusive warlord and his bru-
tal gang. It is armed poachers and jungle creatures.

The shelter plans to put the

Weakness shown
in defense plans
WASHINGTON One of
President Barack Obama's
signature defense programs,
a missile defense shield de-
signed to protect the United
States and Europe from an
Iranian missile attack, faces
major delays, cost overruns
and critical technological
problems, according to two
recent government reports.
The reports by the Defense
Department and congres-
sional investigators cast
doubt on a program that is at
the core of American plans to
defend Europe and a sensi-
tive political issue both do-
mestically and in relations
with Russia. They say missile
interceptors are running into
production glitches, the sys-
tems' radars are underpow-
ered and the sensors cannot
distinguish between war-
heads and other objects.

blocked the head of an airline
whose jet crashed near the
capital from leaving the coun-

as it began an investigation
into its second major air dis-
aster in less than two years.
The Bhoja Air passenger jet
crashed Friday as it tried to
land in a thunderstorm at Is-
lamabad's main airport, killing
all 127 people on board and
reviving concerns about avia-
tion safety in a country sad-
dled by economic problems,
an embattled government,
and Islamist insurgency. The
small domestic airline, which
only resumed operations last
month after suspending them
in 2001 due to financial diffi-
culties, said after the crash
that the weather was the
cause of the accident. Interior
Minister Rehman Malik said
the airline "seems to be at
fault as it had acquired a very
old aircraft."

NEW YORK The investiga-
tion into the disappearance of 6-
year-old Etan Patz has stretched
through decades and countries,
from basements to rooftops and
seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged
criminally- and the little boy with
sandy brown hair and a toothy grin
was declared dead in 2001.
This week, after more than a
decade of relative quiet, the case
suddenly ran hot again, after a
cadaver-sniffing dog picked up a
scent in an old basement down
the street from the boy's home.
By Saturday, investigators had
finished ripping up the base-
ment's concrete floor with jack-
hammers and saws, and were
digging through the dirt in hope
of finding the boy's remains, or
any other evidence.
So far, authorities haven't given
any outward sign that they've
found anything.


by bright blue helmets and
bulletproof vests. It came as
the U.N. Security Council
voted Saturday to expand the
mission to 300 members in
hopes of salvaging an inter-
national peace plan marred
by continued fighting be-
tween the military and oppo-
sition rebels.
The observers, members
of an eight-member advance
team that has been on the
ground a week, were seen
on amateur video Saturday
walking through rubble-
strewn deserted streets
lined by gutted apartment


buildings. Activists reported
only sporadic gunfire, but
no shelling, and said troops
had pulled armored vehi-
cles off the streets. Two ob-
servers stayed behind in
Homs to keep monitoring
the city, after the rest of the
team left Saturday evening.
The mission approved
Saturday, initially for 90
days, is meant to shore up a
cease-fire that officially
took effect 10 days ago, but
has failed to halt violence.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon has
accused Assad of violating
the truce.


"Law enforcement is always cau-
tiously optimistic," said Tim Flan-
nelly, chief FBI spokesman in New
York "But this is one lead of many."
It's not clear what, if anything,
the dig will turn up, but the in-
vestigation has reached similar
highs before only for the trail
to go cold for years at a time.
Etan vanished on May 25, 1979,
while walking alone to his school
bus stop for the first time, two
blocks from his home in New
York's SoHo neighborhood.
There was an exhaustive
search by the police and a crush
of media attention. The boy's
photo was one of the first of a
missing child on a milk carton.
Thousands of fliers were plas-
tered around the city, buildings
canvassed, hundreds of people
interviewed. SoHo was not a
neighborhood of swank bou-
tiques and galleries as now, but of
working-class New Yorkers rat-
tled by the news.
"No one could understand how

it could've happened. At
that time, we all felt safe;
we were a little commu-
nity," said Sandie Vega,
who was Etan's age when
he disappeared. "We also
thought it must've been
someone from the out-
side. No one we knew
could take him."

about the boy's disappearance.
Her sister had gone to a child's
play group with Etan, in the very
basement police are searching.
By the time he disappeared, the
children's collective had moved
and the space was being used by
a handyman, Othniel Miller
"I didn't really know anything
helpful," Ohta said.
No one knew enough. Etan's
parents, Stan and Julie, offered a
$25,000 reward for information
leading to the boy's whereabouts,
and sightings were frequently re-


ported, to no avail. In
1986, a child resembling
Etan was spotted in Is-
rael, which prompted de-
tectives to circulate his
V photo there. Nothing
came of it.
A name gradually
an emerged as a possible
tz suspect: Jose Ramos, a
since drifter and onetime
'9. boyfriend of Etan's
babysitter. In the early
1980s, he was arrested on theft
charges, and had photos of other
young, blond boys in his back-
pack. But there was no hard evi-
dence linking Ramos to the
crime.
Missing persons cases, like
homicides, are generally consid-
ered cold after six months, but
they're never closed. And with
seemingly no new leads, the case
would go quiet for years. In three
decades, 10 detectives have been
assigned to head up the case. The

IMF warns Europe not to ease up on debt-control battle


Associated Press


WASHINGTON -An in-
fusion of hundreds of bil-
lions of dollars will give the
International Monetary
Fund a badly needed boost
to tackle Europe's pro-
longed debt crisis. But
global finance officials sent
a strong message Saturday
that struggling governments
must speed reforms or risk
spooking jittery markets
and raising the economic
danger.


The lending agency said
in a statement after its
weekend meetings that fi-
nancially-strapped Euro-
pean countries must put in
place bold changes to re-
solve their debt problems.
The IMF received $430 bil-
lion in pledges from indi-
vidual countries, nearly
doubling the agency's re-
serves available for loans to
almost $1 trillion.
"It is nice to have a big
umbrella," Managing Direc-
tor Christine Lagarde said


at a news conference. She
and other officials said the
new money should reassure
financial markets troubled
recently by the prospect that
Spain could come next to
the IMF for emergency
loans to escape a default.
The 188-nation IMF, work-
ing with European govern-
ments, has provided rescue
programs already for
Greece, Portugal and Ire-
land. Spain, however, has a
much bigger economy and
would require much more


financial assistance were it
unable to sell its government
debt to private investors.
The IMF's policy commit-
tee's statement said it was
important for European
countries to commit to bold
reforms and put them into
practice.
Europe's problems domi-
nated the discussions of fi-
nance officials who
assembled in Washington
for the spring meetings of
the IMF and the World
Bank. Those gatherings


were preceded by talks
among the Group of 20
major economic powers; the
G-20 includes traditional
economic powers such as
the United States and Ger-
many and developing na-
tions including China and
Brazil.
In past years, thousands
of demonstrators have
sometimes turned out to
protest against the ills of
globalization. But this year
only a handful of protesters
showed up.

Denver to Durango: Treking the Colorado Trail


BARRY SCHWARTZ
Special to the Chronicle

You may be
familiar with the
Appalachian
Trail, but did you
know Colorado also has a
world-class system of
trails with amazing
scenery, aptly called the
Colorado Trail?
This trail was completed in 1988 by
joining many existing trails to connect
a path that runs from Denver to Du-
rango, more than
483 miles divided
into 28 segments.
It passes through
six National
Forests, while
climbing up and
down from 5,520
feet to as high as
13,271 feet with
the average eleva-

TAKEN along the Conti-
nental Divide.
Last summer,
my friend Roger
Pool and I decided to fulfill a lifelong
ambition of hiking the entire Colorado
Trail. I joined him for more than 80
miles of the trek. What makes this trail
so different from the Appalachian Trail
is its remoteness. Each year, as many as
150 people set out as through hikers
with a plan of having friends resupply
them every week or two during their
four- to six-week marathon journey
Roger has two llamas so it made the
logistics much easier, as each llama
could carry 80 pounds. The lla-
mas could forage for food
along the path, so
Roger and I could
easily be on the
trail unsupported
for many days. ":
The segments of the
trail I hiked are from
Molas Pass to Durango.

then relays it to a website where others

"soft" adventures. I call them soft
because my thinking is, if I can do it,
anyone can.

Dear Annie: I am a 56-
year-old stepfather
to two wonderful
young women, ages 20 and
17. My wife of five years did
a wonderful job raising the
girls after their father died.
Our relationship is open
and trusting. I never call
them stepdaughters. I view
them as my own. And they
tell me they love me. My
problem? Lately, the title of
"stepfather" is having an
adverse effect. It makes me
feel excluded. I want them
to call me "Dad." I am start-
ing to feel less and less a
part of the family They've
done nothing to merit this.
It's all me.
I have talked about this
with my wife
and oldest child
because they
noticed me
withdrawing.
We've discussed
adoption, but
neither they nor
I want to write
their father off
their birth cer-
tificates. And a
piece of paper
isn't going to
change the way ANNI
we care about MAILI
each other. So,
why am I hung
up on a title? All I know is, I
don't like waking up at 3:30
a.m. feeling so despondent.
- Bob
Dear Bob: The girls can
call you "Dad" without hav-
ing it become official on
their birth certificates. It's a
form of address, not a legal
title. And while you can
point out that calling you
"Dad" doesn't undermine
the girls' respect for their
own father, you must allow it
to be their decision. If they
agree, they will need to
make a concerted effort to
use the title until it becomes

Dear Annie: As someone
with bipolar disorder, I felt
the need to respond to "Con-

his girlfriend, but is con-

Bipolar disease is a ge-
netic disorder, and the mom
may have it. It can take 20
years to properly diagnose,
because the signs of mania
are often over-
looked when de-

symptoms are
prevalent. Before
"Confused" pro-
poses, he may

perience in the
field and attend

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


few months ago,
there was a
brouhaha about
whether pizza sauce is a
vegetable. It certainly is to
me. But for years, I thought
bacon was a vegetable. I al-
ways wondered why no one
made salad bits to sprinkle
on my bacon, which is a
million-dollar idea if I ever
heard one.
The latest food fight is
over whether "pink slime"
should be used in ham-
burgers. My gut instinct is
that no, it shouldn't be used
in hamburgers. It should
be left in bologna and hot
dogs where it
belongs.
Still, I was .
surprised at
how many na-
tionally
known pur-
veyors of fine
burgers said
they would
stop using
pink slime JIM
now that their MULL
secret ingredi-
ent was no
longer secret. Until they
said they'd stop using it, al-
most no one knew they
were using it
It turns out that beef
"trimmings" used to be
sold mainly as pet food be-
cause they contained too
much E. coli and other bac-
teria that were harmful to
humans. But then the beef
industry started spraying
these leftovers with an am-
monia gas, killing the
pathogens, and renamed
them "lean finely textured
beef," which sounds so
much more appetizing
than "pink slime."
It reminds me of a story I
heard long ago from an old-
timer in the advertising
business. It seems a can-
nery had bought a batch of
salmon with very white
flesh. It tasted like salmon,
but it didn't look like
salmon. Some genius in the
marketing department
came up with a great idea.
The cannery printed
"Won't turn pink in the
can" on the label, which, of
course, was true.
I often wonder how
many people who have sa-
vored the fish known as or-
ange roughy in fine
restaurants realize that for
most of its history, that fish
was known as a slime-
head?
There were plenty of
slimeheads to go around
until the name change.
Now they are being hauled
out of the ocean faster than
they can reproduce. The
orange roughy population
would probably appreciate
it if we started calling the
fish slimeheads again.
It seems every week we


have another debate about
food. One year it's trans fat,
the next it's sugar. Trans fat
will kill you, sugar will kill
you, cholesterol will kill
you, salt will kill you, fat
will kill you, carbs will kill
you, not eating at all will
kill you, overeating will kill
you.
I just bought a half-gal-
lon of ice cream, and on the
lid it says it's packed with
calcium and vitamins A
and D. I don't think you
have to have a Ph.D. in nu-
trition to realize that even
with the vitamins and min-
erals, ice cream is not
health food. But it
does prove some-
thing that food
writer Michael
Pollan said about
food marketing:
"The more health
claims there are
on the label, the
unhealthier the
food." Adding a
multivitamin to a
EN frosted doughnut
does not magically
make it a balanced
meal.
Some clever scientist is
sure to tell you that ammo-
nia in its various forms oc-
curs naturally in some
plants, is used in food pro-
cessing and is perfectly
safe, and he would be right
But he also would be com-
paring apples and oranges
to unsellable scraps of fat,
sinew, effluvia and meat
bits, pulverized into a pink
paste and sprayed with am-
monium hydroxide.
Is that how the food sci-
entist makes his ham-
burger at home? Is this
what he feeds to his chil-
dren? Does he invite the
neighbors over to watch
this being made before
grilling a few burgers for
them on Saturday night?
There are many things
that some people eat that
others find supremely un-
appetizing Limburger
cheese, frog legs, fried
crickets, raw oysters, hag-
gis but they don't try to
sneak these things onto
your plate. Limburger is
proud of being a stinky
cheese; haggis is presented
with all the flourish of
Cherries Jubilee. They are
all upfront about what they
are.
If pink slime purveyors
want to proudly put it on
the store shelf, more power
to them. Otherwise, we
might think they have
something to hide.

Associated Press
The Chicago Blackhawks'
Marian Hossa falls down
Tuesday after a hit from
the Phoenix Coyotes' Raffi
Torres during the first pe-
riod of Game 3 in Chicago.
Coyotes' Torres
suspended 25
games for Hossa hit
GLENDALE, Ariz. -A
blindside hit, a history of vio-
lence and a leaguewide crack-
down on rough play earned
Phoenix Coyotes forward
Raffi Torres one of the longest
suspensions in NHL history.
Torres was suspended 25
games by the league Satur-
day and will miss the rest of
the playoffs for a late hit that
resulted in Chicago's Marian
Hossa being taken off the ice
on a stretcher.
After one of the least-
penalized regular seasons in
the NHL's modern era, Torres
is the ninth player to be sus-
pended during what's been an
out-for-blood playoffs so far.
Torres' suspension is the
longest for an on-ice offense
since New York Islanders for-
ward Chris Simon was banned
30 games for stomping on the
ankle of Pittsburgh's Jarrko
Ruutu in December 2007.
It also matches the second-
longest suspension: Simon
also was suspended 25 games
for his two-handed stick attack
to the face of New York
Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg
in 2007, as was Philadel-
phia's Jesse Boulerice for
cross-checking Vancouver
center Ryan Kesler across
the face in 2007.
If the 25 games of his sus-
pension aren't exhausted
during the playoffs, the ban
carries over into the next reg-
ular season.
As a repeat offender, Tor-
res would forfeit $21,341 in
salary for every regular-
season game he sits out.
Bahrain tense
ahead of F1 after
protester dies
MANAMA, Bahrain The
discovery of a protester's
body near the scene of
clashes on Saturday threat-
ened to tip Bahrain deeper
into unrest as a 14-month-old
uprising overshadows the re-
turn of the Formula One
Grand Prix to the strategic
Gulf kingdom.
Bahrain's Sunni rulers had
pressed for the race to be held
as a chance to rebuild their
credibility on the world stage
after it was called off last year
as police and army troops
cracked dowonon dissent.
Persistent protests, how-
ever, have left the monarchy
struggling to keep attention
on Sunday's Formula One
race as the country's Shiite
majority pressed ahead with
a campaign to break the near
monopoly on power by the
ruling Sunni dynasty.
At least 50 people have
died in the conflict since
February 2011.
Protesters again took their
grievances to the streets na-
tionwide Saturday after oppo-
sition groups said a man was
killed the day before in clashes
with security forces. A state-
ment by the Interior Ministry
said the man who died was
identified as Salah Abbas
Habib Musa, 36.
Bahrain's monarchy is the
main backer of the F1 race,
and the crown prince owns
rights to the event.
Members of the ruling Al
Khalifa dynasty are huge fans
of the sport and the country's
sovereign wealth fund, Mum-
talakat, owns 50 percent of
leading team McLaren.

LARRY BUGG
Correspondent
KISSIMMEE Ardante
"Dede" Anderson and
Kody McDow felt a little
different about their first
trip to the Class 2A state
boys weightlifting meet
Saturday at the Kissimmee
Civic Center
Anderson, a Lecanto
High School freshman, fin-
ished seventh in the 238-
pound class. He had a
365-pound bench press and
a 265-pound bench press
for a 630-pound total.
McDow wasn't so happy
with the results.
Anderson wasn't under
any pressure and now he
has three more possible
shots at a state lifting title.
"I want to thank my
coaches for pushing me,"
Anderson said. "I wasn't
sure I could get out of the
district qualifier Making it
to state was great."
His coach was happy to
see the freshman compete
at state.
"Dede is a special ath-
lete," said Lecanto coach
McKinley Rolle. "His expe-
rience at state today is in-
valuable. It's a credit to
him."
McDow has now tasted
the Class 2A Boys State lift-
ing meet and wants to
come back for more next
year
The Citrus High junior
had a bench press of 275
pounds and a clean and
jerk of 245 pounds for a
total of 520 pounds. He was
competing in the 154-
pound class in his first trip
to state.
McDow felt he should
have had a better clean
and jerk.
"I wasn't happy with it,"
he said. "On my last clean
and jerk, I ended up on my
heels."

This summer, remember: Tiger's heel not easily tamed


O ver the past
several weeks,
I have read
several newspaper
sports headlines and
stories dealing with /-
prominent athletes'
injuries. Two of the
most recent involved to
PGA golfer Tiger
Woods and Dwight Dr. Roi
Howard of the Orlando DOC1
Magic. ORE
Some clarification of
these athletic injuries
is in order Hopefully, this will pro-
vide not only some insight to the
stories, but will help you train and


avoid pitfalls that
cause these injuries.
Achilles tendinitis
(or now better known
as Tiger's heel) in-
r:, volves an injury to the
major tendon that con-
nects the calf muscles
to the foot. Anyone can
injure their Achilles
Joseph tendon like Tiger or
OR'S sustain a ruptured disc
ERS in their spine like
Dwight Howard, not
just professional ath-
letes. These injuries are incredi-
bly painful and disruptive to not
only the tendon and spine, but to


our lives as well, and can incapac-
itate for years.
The injuries to Howard and
Woods are common to all of us
who partake in sports and are as-
sociated with activities we all do.
Recovery is not as easy as the
media may make out.
As summer vacation ap-
proaches, running or walking on
the beach was always an activity I
enjoyed; however when you get
the urge to run on the beach with-
out shoes, as I did, for any pro-
longed time, think about it. As kids
and teenagers we were able to run
on the beach and go all day long
without shoes.


Exactly a year ago, while wait-
ing for my daughter to come down
to the beach, I decided to run a
few miles without shoes. I can say
that one year later my Achilles
tendinitis has finally left me after
using multiple therapies.
When we were younger, the con-
nective tissue in our heel cords,
better known as the Achilles ten-
don, was more pliable and
stretchy Three things happen to
the tendon as we get older
First, the strands of fibers
comprising the tendon are not as
stretchy

tals a 4-3 victory Saturday and
moving the defending champion
Boston Bruins a loss away from
elimination.
Brouwer gave the Capitals a 3-2
series lead with his second goal of
the playoffs, beating goalie Tim
Thomas over the glove with a wrist
shot from the right circle. It came
with 37 seconds left on a slashing
penalty against Benoit Pouliot.
The Bruins, who trailed 2-0 and
3-2, tied it at 8:47 of the third pe-
riod on Johnny Boychuk's goal.
The Capitals can wrap up the best-
of-seven series at home Sunday
The Bruins have been in this
predicament before. They trailed
the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 last
year in the Stanley Cup finals,
then won the last two games on
the road to capture their first title
since 1972.
Washington took a 2-0 lead in
the second period on goals by
Alexander Semin at 11:16 and Jay
Beagle at 14:27. That seemed to be
a sizable advantage in a series that


featured tight defense with each
team scoring only seven goals in
the first four games.
But the Bruins rallied with two
goals in 28 seconds late in the pe-
riod to tie at 2. Dennis Seidenberg
scored with 2:39 left on a one-
timer from the right circle that got
past goalie Braden Holtby. And
Brad Marchand tied with 2:11 to
go when he poked the rebound
through Holtby's legs after a shot
from the right point by Boychuk.
Washington regained the lead
3:21 into the third period when
Mike Knuble pounced on a re-
bound. Joel Ward shot from 50 feet
on the right side and Thomas
saved it But the goalie steered the
puck to the left side and couldn't
slide over in time to stop Knuble's
shot
Boston rallied again when Boy-
chuk scored on a 50-footer from
the left to the far side past
Holtby's glove.
Holtby finished with 34 saves,
and Thomas stopped 28 shots.
Panthers 3, Devils 0
SUNRISE, Fla. Kris Versteeg
scored a goal and set up another,
Jose Theodore made 30 saves for his
second postseason shutout, and the
Florida Panthers moved a win away
from their first series win in 16 years
with a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey
Devils on Saturday night.


The Washington Capitals' Keith Aucoin celebrates a goal by teammate
Mike Knuble as Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas lies face down on the
ice Saturday during the third period of Washington's 4-3 win in Game 5
in Boston.


Scottie Upshall also scored for
Florida, which leads the Eastern Con-
ference first-round series 3-2. The
Panthers' last series victory came in
the 1996 East finals, and they'll have
two chances to snap that drought.
Tomas Kopecky was credited with
an empty-net goal with 34 seconds
left, after Ilya Kovalchuk impeded his
clear path to the net.
Martin Brodeur made 30 saves for
New Jersey, which hosts a win-or-else
Game 6 on Tuesday night. If neces-
sary, Game 7 is at Florida on Thurs-
day night.


Senators 2, Rangers 0
NEW YORK Craig Anderson
stopped 41 shots to make Jason
Spezza's first-period goal stand up,
and the Ottawa Senators pushed the
top-seeded New York Rangers to the
brink of elimination with a 2-0 victory
Saturday night in Game 5.
The Senators, the No. 8 seed in the
Eastern Conference, have won two
straight and will have a chance to
knock out the Rangers on Monday
night in Ottawa. If New York can stay
alive, the deciding Game 7 would be
back at Madison Square Garden on


Thursday night.
Spezza added insurance by scor-
ing an empty-net goal with 55.3 sec-
onds remaining, and Anderson was
perfect in earning his second career
NHL playoff shutout. He stood tall in
the third period when the Rangers
pressed for the tying goal. Since
New York took a 2-0 lead in the first
period of its 3-2 overtime loss in
Game 4, Anderson has gone 116
minutes, 32 seconds without allow-
ing a goal.
Blues 3, Sharks 1
ST. LOUIS Jamie Langenbrunner
and David Perron scored in a 45-sec-
ond span in the third period, and St.
Louis Blues woke up in time to put
away the San Jose Sharks 3-1 and
wrap up the first-round series in five
games Saturday night.
Joe Thornton scored in the final
minute of the second period for San
Jose, and the Sharks were seemingly
in control before the flurry that ended
their season.
Brian Elliott made 26 saves, and
Andy McDonald ended all doubt with
an empty-net goal in the final minute.
St. Louis, the No. 2 seed in the West-
ern Conference, won a playoff series
for the first time in a decade against a
franchise that reached the conference
finals the previous two years. Before
this series, St. Louis hadn't won a
playoff game in eight years.


James, Bosh rest; Wade hurt; Heat lose


Associated Press

MIAMI LeBron James and
Chris Bosh sat out the game, rest-
ing for the postseason. Dwyane
Wade played and got hurt.
Wade lasted less than 3 minutes
before dislocating his left index fin-
ger, and without their three stars
Saturday night, the Heat lost 86-84
to the woeful Washington Wizards.
Wade appeared to get his finger
caught in another player's jersey
and immediately went to the locker
room grimacing in pain. He never
returned, even though fans chanted
"We want Dwyane!" a couple of times.
There was no immediate esti-
mate as to how long Wade might be
out, but with the playoffs beginning
next weekend, the Heat will hope
for a speedy recovery. He has al-
ready missed 14 games this season
because of injuries; the Heat are
13-1 without him.
Nuggets 118, Suns 107
PHOENIX Ty Lawson went 5 of 5
on 3-pointers and had 29 points and 10
assists to lead Denver to a 118-107 vic-
tory over the Phoenix Suns on Satur-
day that clinched a playoff berth for the
Nuggets.
The Suns fell a half-game behind
Utah for the eighth and final playoff spot
in the Western Conference. The Jazz
played at home against Orlando on
Saturday night. Phoenix plays at Utah
on Tuesday and holds the tiebreaker
over the Jazz.
Steve Nash of the Suns had 13 as-
sists, nine in the first quarter, and
passed Oscar Robertson into fifth place
on the NBA's career list. The Suns lost
Channing Frye to a shoulder injury in
the second quarter.
Shannon Brown scored 28 points for
Phoenix, including a career-best 6 3s.
76ers 109, Pacers 106 (OT)
INDIANAPOLIS Elton Brand
scored 20 points and Lou Williams
added 19 to help the Philadelphia 76ers
beat the Pacers 109-106 in overtime
Saturday night, stopping Indiana's win-
ning streak at seven games.
Jrue Holiday scored 17 points and
Andre Iguodala added 16 for the 76ers,
who inched closer to clinching a playoff
berth. The 76ers left the game needing
just a win or a loss by Milwaukee to
clinch a spot.
David West had a season-high 32 points
and grabbed 12 rebounds for Indiana.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 17 points and
Paul George added 16 for the Pacers, who
could have locked up the No. 3 seed in
the Eastern Conference with a win. Danny
Granger, Indiana's top scorer this season,
had four points on 2-for-12 shooting.
Rockets 99, Warriors 96
HOUSTON Courtney Lee scored
20 points, Goran Dragic added 18
points and seven assists and the Hous-
ton Rockets snapped a six-game losing
streak with a 99-96 win over the Golden
State Warriors on Saturday night.
Luis Scola had 13 points and Chase
Budinger added 11 for the Rockets,
who came into the game in the 10th
spot in the Western Conference, one
game behind Utah and Phoenix.
Houston went 10 for 26 from 3-point
range to snap a four-game home losing
streak and beat the Warriors for the
14th time in the last 16 meetings.
Klay Thompson scored 24 points and
Brandon Rush added 19 for the War-
riors, who have lost eight straight and
20 of their last 24.
The Warriors got within two points
midway through the fourth quarter, but
Lee hit two 3-pointers to help Houston
close it out.


Associated Press
The Washington Wizards' Nene scores the the game-winning basket Saturday against the Miami Heat in Miami.


Bulls 93, Mavericks 83 Grizzlies 93, Trail Blazers 89


CHICAGO Luol Deng scored 22
points, Richard Hamilton added 19 and
the Chicago Bulls held off a fourth-quar-
ter rally to beat the Dallas Mavericks
93-83 on Saturday night.
The victory by the Bulls (48-16) gave
them a 2 1/2-game lead over Miami for
the top seed in the Eastern Conference
playoffs. Chicago has two regular-sea-
son games left, against Indiana and
Cleveland.
Bulls star guard Derrick Rose re-
turned to the lineup after sitting out
three games with a right foot/ankle in-
jury and he had 11 points with eight as-
sists in 32 minutes.
Defending NBA champion Dallas,
which clinched a playoff berth on Thurs-
day night when Houston lost, was play-
ing the second game of a back-to-back,
so veteran guards Jason Kidd and
Jason Terry sat out to rest.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points and
Rodrigue Beaubois, starting in place of
Kidd, added 16 10 in the final quarter.


MEMPHIS, Tenn. Rudy Gay
scored 21 points and had a key block in
the final seconds as the Memphis Griz-
zlies won their fourth straight, 93-89
over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Gay, who was 9 of 16 from the field,
blocked Wesley Matthews' 3-point at-
tempt with about 5 seconds left to seal
the win and send the short-handed Trail
Blazers to their fifth straight loss.
O.J. Mayo scored 14 points for Mem-
phis and Marreese Speights had 13
with Marc Gasol and Dante Cunning-
ham both adding 12.
J.J. Hickson scored 23 points to lead
Portland, while Jamal Crawford had 21
despite going 5 of 13 from the field, part
of the Trail Blazers' 37 percent shooting
for the game. Matthews had 16 points
and Luke Babbitt added 10.
The win kept Memphis' hopes alive
to try to reach the fourth seed in the
Western Conference. The Grizzlies
moved within a half game of the idle
Los Angeles Clippers.


Bucks 106, Nets 95
MILWAUKEE Brandon Jennings
scored 30 points to lead the Milwaukee
Bucks to a 106-95 victory over the New
Jersey Nets on Saturday night that kept
their slim playoff hopes alive.
Jennings, who hit three straight 3-
pointers late in the game, was 9 of 18
from the field and finished with six re-
bounds, six assists and four steals.
Ersan Ilyasova added 17 points and
17 rebounds for the Bucks, who snapped
a three-game losing streak and beat
New Jersey for the 11th straight time.
Philadelphia won in overtime at Indi-
ana, meaning the 76ers' magic number
is down to one to clinch the eighth and
final playoff spot in the Eastern Confer-
ence. Milwaukee trails Philadelphia by
three games with three games left, in-
cluding one against the 76ers on
Wednesday.
Gerald Wallace finished with 18
points and 11 rebounds for New Jersey,
which hasn't beaten Milwaukee since
March 3, 2009.

Rays even up series with 4-1 win


Associated Press

ST PETERSBURG James
Shields carried a three-hitter into
the ninth inning, B.J. Upton had a
key two-run single and the Tampa
Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins
4-1 on Saturday night.
Shields (3-0) allowed one run and
five hits over eight-plus innings while
winning his third consecutive start
after getting a no-decision on opening
day against the New York Yankees.
Upton's two-out hit off Carl Pavano
(1-2) gave the Rays a 3-0 lead in the
sixth. Another run scored on the play
when center fielder Denard Span was
charged with a throwing error attempt-
ing to cut down Matt Joyce at third.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Rangers 10, Tigers 4 (Game 1)
DETROIT Josh Hamilton hit a three-
run homer during Texas' eight-run first in-
ning, and Mike Napoli went deep for a
fifth straight game to lead the Rangers to
a 10-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sat-
urday in the first game of a doubleheader.
Texas has won eight straight.
The Rangers routed Detroit 10-3 on
Thursday night in the first game of a four-
game set. After a rainout Friday, they
picked up where they'd left off, sending
12 men to the plate in the first against
Rick Porcello (1-1).
Matt Harrison (3-0) allowed three runs
and six hits in 7 2-3 innings. He struck out
six.
Miguel Cabrera and Austin Jackson
homered for the Tigers, who send Justin
Verlander to the mound for the nightcap.

Tigers 3, Rangers 2 (Game 2)
DETROIT Justin Verlander pitched
six innings without allowing an earned
run, and the Detroit Tigers salvaged a
split of their doubleheader with Texas,
beating the Rangers 3-2 in the nightcap
Saturday.

Yankees 15, Red Sox 9
BOSTON Nick Swisher hit a grand
slam to help the New York Yankees erase
a nine-run deficit, then he added a two-
run double to give them the lead as they
posted back-to-back seven-run innings to
beat Boston 15-9 on Saturday and send
the Red Sox to their fifth straight loss.
A day after Red Sox starter Clay Buch-
holz gave up five homers and the Yan-
kees spoiled Fenway Park's 100th
anniversary party, Boston chased New
York starter Freddy Garcia after 1 2-3 in-
nings and opened a 9-0 lead through five.
But Mark Teixeira homered twice, the
second a three-run shot in the seven-run
seventh that cut the deficit to 9-8.

Blue Jays 9, Royals 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Colby Rasmus
hit two home runs to help make Drew
Hutchison a winner in his major league
debut and the Toronto Blue Jays handed
the Kansas City Royals their ninth
straight loss, 9-5 Saturday night.
Edwin Encarnacion also homered and
drove in three runs for the Blue Jays.
The Royals' losing skid is their longest
since losing 10 in a row July 10-24, 2009.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Nationals 3, Marlins 2
(10 innings)
WASHINGTON lan Desmond hit a
home run and had the game-winning sac-
rifice fly in the 10th inning to lift the Wash-
ington Nationals to a 3-2 win against the
Florida Marlins on Saturday.
Wilson Ramos singled to lead off the 10th
inning, took third on a throwing error and
scored on Desmond's fly as the Nationals
improved to 12-4, continuing their best start
since moving to Washington from Mon-
treal in 2005. Jayson Werth also homered
for the Nationals. Tom Gorzelanny (1-0)
pitched the 10th inning for the win.

"This is awesome," Hum-

With the White Sox lined
up on the top step of the
dugout, Humber fell be-
hind 3-0 to Michael Saun-
ders leading off the ninth.
But he rebounded to strike
him out. John Jaso then
flied out before Brendan
Ryan, another pinch-hitter,
struck out to end the game.

Cubs 6, Reds 1
CHICAGO Paul Maholm pitched six
solid innings to earn his first win in nine
months and the Chicago Cubs beat the
Cincinnati Reds 6-1 on Saturday to stop a
six-game slide.
Maholm (1-2) allowed one run and four
hits to snap a personal six-game losing
streak.
Darwin Barney and Steve Clevenger
each had three hits for the Cubs, who grabbed
control with a four-run second inning.
Starlin Castro had a double and a triple.

Mets 5, Giants 4
NEW YORK Ruben Tejada scored
the winning run on a throwing error by
catcher Buster Posey and the New York
Mets beat the San Francisco Giants after
blowing a three-run lead moments earlier in
one of the wackiest ninth innings imaginable.
Mike Pelfrey tossed eight terrific in-
nings, and it appeared the Mets were
headed to a fairly simple victory. They
were leading 4-2 with two outs in the top
of the ninth when Jon Rauch came out of
the bullpen and got pinch-hitter Brandon
Belt to hit a high popup to shallow center.
Tejada had trouble with it immediately,
though, fighting to get under the ball be-
hind shortstop as it swirled around in the
wind. Rookie center fielder Kirk Nieuwen-
huis came rushing in and overran the
ball, which dropped behind him for a two-
run double.

Pirates 2, Cardinals 0
PITTSBURGH A.J. Burnett pitched
three-hit ball for seven innings in his in-


Ryan took a check swing
and missed at a full-count
pitch, but the ball got away
from catcherAkJ. Pierzynski.
Ryan lingered outside the
batter's box, unsure of um-
pire Brian Runge's call,
and Pierzynski fired to first
to complete the play
Humber, who was in-
volved in a trade for Johan
Santana in 2008, fell to his
knees and his teammates
rushed toward the mound
to congratulate him.
"I don't know that I dom-
inated them," Humber said.
"Obviously the ball was hit
at people. I'm thankful for
that. It was a well-pitched
game. Definitely something
I'll never forget"
The right-hander struck


jury-delayed Pittsburgh debut and the Pi-
rates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on
Saturday night.
Burnett, who missed the first three
weeks of the year while recovering from a
fractured right orbital bone sustained dur-
ing a bunting drill in spring training,
walked two and struck out seven while
giving up just three hits.
Joel Hanrahan worked out of a two-on,
one-out jam in the ninth for his second
save of the season.

Dodgers 5, Astros 1
HOUSTON Matt Kemp set a fran-
chise record for home runs through 15
games with his ninth of the season to
back up a solid outing by Clayton Ker-
shaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers got a
5-1 win over the Houston Astros on Sat-
urday night.
Kemp's two-run shot to center field in
the sixth inning off Kyle Weiland (0-3)
scored Dee Gordon, extending the lead
to 3-0 and giving him a home run in three
straight games. It also extended his major
league-leading RBI total to 22 and his hit-
ting streak to 10 games.

Brewers 9, Rockies 4
MILWAUKEE Ryan Braun broke out
of a slump with a solo homer and two RBIs,
helping the Milwaukee Brewers beat the
Colorado Rockies 9-4 on Saturday night.
Braun, who will be honored by the
Brewers on Sunday for winning the Na-
tional League's Most Valuable Player
award last season, hit his second homer
of the season and an RBI triple while
ending an 0-for-16 slide.
Alex Gonzalez hit a three-run homer
and Jose Veras (2-0) pitched a perfect
seventh inning to get the victory.
Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton home-
red for the Rockies.

Braves 9, Diamondbacks 1
PHOENIX Brian McCann hit a two-
run homer, Freddie Freeman had a pair
of RBI doubles and the Atlanta Braves
routed the Arizona Diamondbacks for the
second game in a row.
Brandon Beachy (2-1) allowed four hits
in 7 1-3 scoreless innings, striking out five
and walking none as the Braves won their
fourth in a row and ninth in 10 games
after starting the season 0-4.
Trevor Cahill (1-1) gave up seven runs,
four earned, and seven hits over 5 2-3 in-
nings in his Chase Field debut for the Di-
amondbacks.


out nine and threw just 96
pitches in his first career
complete game. He went to
a three-ball count only
three times.
It was quite a contrast to
his first start of the season,
when he went 5 1-3 innings
and threw 115 pitches in a
no-decision against Balti-
more on Monday
It was the majors' first
no-hitter of the season.
There were three last year:
Francisco Liriano of Min-
nesota, Justin Verlander of
Detroit, and Ervin Santana
of the Los Angeles Angels.
Humber struck out the
side in the second while
cruising through the first
four innings in just 45
pitches. Chone Figgins' fly


ball to left in the fourth was
the first ball to reach the
outfield. Dustin Ackley fol-
lowed with a hard liner to
right that Alex Rios
reached up and stabbed.
The White Sox moved far-
ther and farther away from
Humber as he approached
history, leaving him alone as
he sat on the bench in the
Safeco Field visitors' dugout
Justin Smoak struck out
swinging to start the eighth.
Kyle Seager lofted a fly to
left that looked momentarily
like it had a chance to land,
but was caught by Dayan
Viciedo. Jesus Montero fol-
lowed with an easy ground
ball to second base, send-
ing the perfect game to the
ninth.

Ai Miyazato watches her drive off the third tee
Saturday in the final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship
at Ko Olina Golf Club in Kapolei, Hawaii.


Miyazato wins LOTTE


Associated Press

KAPOLEI, Hawaii -
Japan's Ai Miyazato won the
LPGA LOTTE Champi-
onship on Saturday for her
eighth career LPGA Tour
title, birdieing three of the
last six holes for a 2-under
70 and a four-stroke victory
Miyazato finished at 12-
under 276 at wind-swept Ko
Olina. She opened with
rounds of 71, 65 and 70 to
take a three-stroke lead in
the final round.
Meena Lee, ahead early on
the back nine and tied for the
lead after a birdie on No. 15,
had a 70 to tie for second with
Azahara Munoz at 8 under.
Munoz finished with a 70.
The 26-year-old Miyazato
made a 30-foot birdie putt
from the fringe on the 15th
to break a tie with Lee. Lee,
down one playing 18, then hit
her approach into a bunker
and three-putted from 30
feet for double bogey
Miyazato lost the lead
with a bogey on the par-3
12th after her tee shot

stances, that's what I did: I
just focused on my game and
if at the end of 18 holes it's
good enough to win, great,"
Curtis said. "If not, I have to
shake the guy's hand that
won and move forward."
The Texas Open is only
the fourth PGA Tour stop
this year for Curtis, whose
tournament invitations are
no longer a sure thing after
his status plummeted near
the bottom rungs of the tour
Curtis preserved his lead
despite two double bogeys,
including a wayward drive
on the par-5 8th that left the
2003 British Open champion
hitting twice from the adja-
cent fairway Curtis said he
and his caddie decided
there was no other choice
after his tee shot veered left




ORDERS
Continued from Page B1

The second thing that
happens is that we are not
used to running barefoot for
prolonged periods of time.
Therefore, both walking and
running in the sand place a
great deal of stretch or ten-
sion on the not-so-stretchy
Achilles tendon.
The third thing is that
most adults now wear shoes
with elevated heels that ef-
fectively shorten our heel
cords. This results in a
tighter heel cord tendon
and makes it much easier
to sprain, partially tear
or completely rupture the
tissue.
What allows us to jump,
run and walk is the heel
cord that provides the
power needed to be able to
push off. Injury to the heel
cord weakens or does not
allow normal gait, running
or jumping. Achilles tendon
injury severely hampers the
leg power necessary in a
golf or tennis swing or the
push-off needed to propel
your body forward while
running and walking. Even
the calf muscle and tendon
support necessary to pad-


buried in a bunker, the second
straight day she carded a 4 on
the hole. But Lee dropped
back moments later with a
three-putt bogey at 14.
After Miyazato's birdie at
15, she saved par from 8 feet
at 16, then rolled in another
birdie putt from 25 feet at 17
to wrap up her first victory
since the Evian Masters.
Miyazato won after finish-
ing second behind top-ranked
Yani Tseng this year in Thai-
land and Phoenix. It was
Miyazato's fifth top-10 finish
in six events this year, and
her first victory in Hawaii in
nine tries.
After her father gave her
a putting tip following a poor
finish at the Kraft Nabisco
three weeks ago, the 5-foot-1
star needed only 53 putts in
the last two rounds.
Tseng, a three-time win-
ner this year, overcame an
ankle injury early in the
final round to shoot a 74 and
tie for 10th at 4 under. She
has finished in the top 10 in
all seven of her LPGA Tour
starts this year.


and landed under a
mesquite tree, surrounded
by cactus and with no clear
path back toward the hole.
"We were joking that we
were on the second hole for 50
minutes today," Curtis said.
Curtis has some history
on his side: Since 2000, eight
third-round leaders at the
Texas Open have held on to
win.
Every called his round
"scrappy" after he started
the week with a course
record at TPC San Antonio,
where he showed up just
two weeks removed from
ditching his swing instruc-
tor and a new laid-back
stance on practice which
sometimes means not prac-
ticing at all.
He had three bogeys Sat-
urday but was saved by a
couple birdies, including a
10-footer set up by a dead-
on tee shot on the par-3 3rd.
"Overall, not bad," Every


dleboard is lost and painful.
The insidious danger of
the beach is that your heel
cord may not feel the effects
of running or walking until
the next day. My advice is
work up slowly
Thus one has to be aware,
as the beach draws us, to
take care to run and walk on
the beach for shorter peri-
ods initially If heel or heel
cord discomfort or pain
starts, it is time for you to
stop. Put on beach or run-
ning shoes with a slightly el-
evated heel or a heel insert
that is available at any
sports or shoe store.
Be patient. It takes a long
time to recover from
Achilles tendinitis. As far
as Tiger is concerned, it has
been a long and frustrating
recovery. Also, drugs that
enhance performance or
aid in building muscle,
such as human growth hor-
mone, lead to an increased
number of such tendon
problems.
Recovery is extremely
time-consuming, uncomfort-
able and a pain in the heel
cord. Initially the best treat-
ment is the usual ice and
anti-inflammatory
The No. 1 thing to do is
put a heel lift insert into
every shoe you own or wear

Frost, Allen share lead in Savannah; Grace on top in China


Westwood at

13 under in

Jakarta

Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. -David
Frost and Michael Allen
birdied nine of the first 13
holes and combined for a 9-
under 63 on Saturday for a
share of the second-round
lead with Tom Purtzer and
Brad Bryant in the Legends
of Golf.
The teams were at 19-
under 125 in the better
event. Bryant and Allen had
65 at The Club at Savannah
Harbor.
The leaders in the 54-hole
Champions Tour event were
one shot ahead of four teams:
Gil Morgan and Tom Kite (61);
Bobby Clampett and Andy
North (62); Jay Haas and
Fred Couples (63); and Jeff
Sluman and Brad Faxon (64).
Six other teams were at 17
under heading into the final
round.
"We had a good time out
there," Allen said about
their bogey-free round. "We
were fighting. It was fun."
Allen, coming off a victory
last week at TPC Tampa
Bay, currently tops the sen-
ior circuit's money list and
leads Bernhard Langer by
157 points in the Schwab
Cup race.


Frost had the hot hand
early, rolling in four birdie
putts on the first seven
holes. When he cooled off,
Allen took over, making
birdies on five of the next
six holes.
"Yeah, it's just nice gener-
ally to just have a good mate
to play out there with," Frost
said. "You know he's going
to come into play when
you're out ... and hopefully
we don't play the same holes
badly That's the only ques-
tion mark out there."
Mark James rolled in a 45-
foot birdie putt from off the
18th green as he and Des
Smyth repeated as champi-
ons of the unofficial 54-hole
Raphael Division title at 19-
under, one stroke better
than two teams: Dennis Wat-
son and Steve Jones, and
Mark McCumber and Wayne
Grady
Earlier in the week, Gibby
Gilbert and J.C. Snead re-
peated as champions of the
54-hole Demaret Division
for players 70 or older.
The Legends was first
played in 1978 in Austin,
Texas, and is considered the
event that launched the 50-
and-over tour. It was all
team play until 2002, but al-
ways unofficial money The
tournament was played in
four cities and on eight
courses before coming to
Savannah in 2003 as an in-
dividual event. It went back
to team play and official
money in 2008.

Gary Boyd of England watches the flight of his shot Saturday during the third round of the
China Open at the Binhai Lake Golf Club in Tianjin, China.


Branden Grace leads by
3 shots at China Open
TIANJIN, China Branden
Grace of South Africa shot an
8-under 64 and has a three-
shot lead after three rounds of
the China Open on Saturday.
The 23-year-old South
African moved to 18-under 198,
three shots ahead of defending
champion Nicolas Colsaerts of
Belgium.
Grace started the third round
one shot off the lead, but
gained four shots in three
holes, sinking a 15-foot eagle
putt on the sixth green.


On a day of light winds and
low scoring, Fabrizio Zanotti of
Paraguay also shot a 64 to
move to 14 under, four strokes
back. Alexander Noren of Swe-
den had a 63 to join four other
players at 13 under.
Grace is looking for his third
victory on the European Tour in
2012 having already won the
Joburg Open and Volvo Golf
Champions tournaments in
South Africa in January.
Grace's confidence is high
after having beaten major win-
ners Retief Goosen and Ernie
Els to win The Champions on a
very similar course at Fancourt


in South Africa.
"I can draw from experience,"
said Grace who had seven
birdies in his round and only
dropped one shot when he
three-putted on the 14th green.
"I am feeling really positive
after getting my first two wins
early in the year and just want-
ing to keep on pushing on from
there. The difference all this
year has been that I have been
holing more putts.
"But this course here in
China is very similar to Fan-
court. It is long has the same
links feeling about it and I am
getting the same feelings."


Colsaerts, trying to defend
the title he won last year and
playing alongside Grace,
started slowly but four birdies
on the back nine allowed him to
shoot a 6-under 66.
Noren's 9-under 63 was the
lowest round of the day. He
was joined at 13 under by
France's Jean Baptiste, who
had held a share of the halfway
lead, but dropped back with a
2-under 70.
The other overnight leader,
Gary Boyd of England, started
his third round by dropping two
shots in three holes. He had a
71 and was six shots behind
Grace.
Westwood holds leads in
rainy Indonesian Masters
JAKARTA, Indonesia De-
fending champion Lee West-
wood birdied two of the first four
holes and moved to 13 under at
the Indonesian Masters on Sat-
urday before lightning and rain
halted the third round.
Zaw Moe of Myanmar was
second at 9 under through four
holes when play was suspended
at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
"The suspension stopped a bit
of momentum. But if it is dan-
gerous weather out there then it
is the safest thing to do," West-
wood said. "It is disappointing for
everybody the players, spon-
sors and the spectators. But
this is the nature of the weather
in this part of the world."
The 70 golfers will resume
play early Sunday.

semifinal match of the Monte Carlo Tennis Masters tournament in Monaco.


Djokovic, Nadal to meet


in Monte Carlo final


Associated Press
MONACO Seven-time defending
champion Rafael Nadal will try to beat
top-ranked Novak Djokovic for the first
time in eight finals when they meet in the
Monte Carlo Masters final on Sunday
Nadal advanced to the final without
dropping a set in a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gilles
Simon, while Djokovic rallied from a set
down to beat Tomas Berdych 4-6, 6-3, 6-2
and reach his second final at Monte Carlo.
"He's the best ever in history of the sport
on this surface. It's an ultimate challenge,"
Djokovic said. "I cannot have ups and
downs. I cannot afford that against Rafa.
But why not believe that I can win?"
Djokovic has beaten the Spaniard in
seven consecutive finals, including the re-
cent Australian Open, and handed Nadal
his only two defeats on clay last year.
"I have everything to win. That's the
only positive thing about losing seven
times," Nadal said.
Overall, Nadal leads their head-to-
heads 16-14 but has not won since a group-
stage match at the 2010 ATP Finals in
London. Nadal has not lost in Monte Carlo
since 2003 he was injured the following
year and has won 41 straight matches
here.


Williams gives US 2-0 lead
against Ukraine
KHARKIV, Ukraine Serena Williams over-
powered Ukrainian teenager Elina Svitolina 6-2,
6-1 to give the United States a 2-0 lead in the
Fed Cup series on Saturday.
In the opening match, American Christina
McHale defeated Lesia Tsurenko 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.
The U.S. needs one victory among the re-
verse singles and doubles on Sunday to return
to the top tier of the Fed Cup group.
Williams is making her first Fed Cup appearance
on foreign soil in more than a decade to help gain
eligibility for the U.S. team at the London Olympics.
The 13-time Grand Slam champion could
seal the U.S. win with a victory over Tsurenko
on Sunday.
Williams only faltered once against the 17-
year-old Svitolina, who managed to reach 2-2 in
the first set after going down an early break.
"It's easier in the Fed Cup, as you have a
coach who can help and encourage to stay fo-
cused," Williams said about U.S. captain Mary
Jo Fernandez.
Williams won four straight games and sealed
the first set with an ace. The 30-year-old
Williams pounced on Svitolina's weak serve in the
second set and closed out the match in one hour.


Allmendinger to start on


pole at Kansas Speedway


Associated Press


KANSAS CITY, Kan. -AJ
Allmendinger rolled off the
track and hopped out of his
car, convinced that he'd put
together a decent qualifying
run but expecting to start
somewhere in the top 15 on
Sunday
Turns out he'll be starting
up front.
Allmendinger captured his
second career Sprint Cup
pole Saturday, turning a lap
of 175.993 mph in his Penske
Racing Dodge to knock Kevin
Harvick off the top spot.
Joey Logano had the third
fastest time but will start at
the rear after changing en-
gines during practice Friday
It was the first pole for
Allmendinger since 2010 at
Phoenix. He nearly had the
pole last month at Bristol but
was edged out by Greg Biffle
by a thousandth of a second.
"I didn't think the lap was
amazing. I thought it was
OK," said Allmendinger,
who learned his lap time
from crew chief Todd Gor-
don moments later and
couldn't help but smile.
Logano went off first in
qualifying and posted a lap
of 175.724 mph, then
watched as car after car
failed to touch his time. It
wasn't until Harvick turned
a lap of 175.747 that Logano
was finally bumped.
"We'll shotgun the field,"
Logano said. "It's like the
old short-track days. Didn't
they pay you more if you
started at the back and you
passed them all?
"I'll have to talk to
NASCAR about that."

Dale Earnhardt Jr. quali-
fied seventh for Hendrick
Motorsports, which is trying
to an end a 13-race drought
and reach milestone win
No. 200. The team hasn't
reached Victory Lane since
Jimmie Johnson's win at
Kansas last October, the
longest winless stretch since
the 2002 and '03 seasons.
Johnson qualified 15th
after going sideways in
Turns 1 and 2.
Local favorite Clint
Bowyer who is from Em-
poria, Kan., and raced on
the dirt track at nearby
Lakeside Speedway qual-
ified eighth. Kasey Kahne
was ninth and Sam Hornish
Jr was 10th.

Buescher wins
Trucks race
KANSAS CITY, Kan. James
Buescher finally got a chance to
drive his truck into Victory Lane.
Those second-place finishes
were getting a little old.


The 22-year-old Buescher
passed Brad Keselowski with 10
laps remaining Saturday at Kansas
Speedway, and then pulled
away to win for the first time in
76 tries in the Trucks series.
"I can't even count the number
of times we finished second,"
Buescher said. "We've had a lot
of second-place finishes, but
we finally got the win."
Buescher won his first
NASCAR race in the Nationwide
series at Daytona earlier this
season, but hadn't been able to
break through in the Trucks se-
ries, despite four runner-up
runs including last weekend
at Rockingham, where his
teammate Kasey Kahne won
for Turner Motorsports.
"Two weeks in a row is defi-
nitely something to be proud
of," Buescher said.
Buescher came into weekend
fourth in points and leaves in
second, just four behind Timo-
thy Peters, who also got around
Keselowski down the stretch to
finish second at Kansas.
Nelson Piquet Jr. finished fourth
and Todd Bodine was fifth.

"Sweet Revenge: The

British journalist and bi-

whose previous subjects
include former British

The book paints a pic-

"He had 20 years -

NYCphoto exhibit

captures Warhol

as young artist

Associated Press

NEW YORK-Andy Warhol once
predicted 15 minutes of fame for
everyone.
But 25 years after his death, the
pop artist's reputation and impact
on the contemporary art world
show no signs of fading. His iconic
images of everyday consumer ob-
jects and celebrities consistently
command high prices and draw en-
thusiastic crowds to museum and
gallery shows.
But before he catapulted onto the
world stage, the young artist was al-
ready producing some of his most
iconic pieces. In a new exhibition,
Warhol is captured in photographs
at the very cusp of the pop art
movement.
"Before They Were Famous: Be-
hind the Lens of William John
Kennedy," at the Site/109 gallery in
lower Manhattan, features rare
shots of Warhol and artist Robert
Indiana posing together with what
were soon to become their most cel-
ebrated works Warhol's "Mari-
lyn" and Indiana's "LOVE" logo.
Kennedy, a freelance photogra-
pher when the photos were taken,
had nearly forgotten about them
and only rediscovered the images
several years ago in a "beat-up
cardboard box" while sorting
through his archive, he said.
He took them when Warhol "was
a known entity but had not yet ex-
ploded on the scene," said Eric
Shiner, director of the Warhol Mu-
seum, located in Warhol's home-
town of Pittsburgh. "They capture
Andy both in production mode and
also having fun mode."
The 82-year-old photographer,
who lives in Miami Beach, Fla., said
he set out to record "the rising stars
of the new movement in pop art."
He sensed immediately that Warhol
would become "a giant in the in-
dustry" but said he "was amazed to
meet this very withdrawn and taci-
turn man."
Among his favorite photographs
is one of the pop icon working at his
Manhattan studio, The Factory
"Piled up in the corner were 50-
75 sheets of acetate. Andy said
'Those are proofs of my work,"'
Kennedy recalled. As he unrolled
one, "there's this huge face of Mar-
ilyn Monroe a transparent proof
of his silkscreens."
He had Warhol hold it up in front
of him, creating a portrait within a
portrait.
In another image, the photogra-
pher posed Warhol with one of his
early flower paintings standing in a
field of black-eyed Susans, located
in a most unlikely spot an indus-
trial section of the Flushing neigh-
borhood in New York City's Queens
borough.
These and about 50 other silver
gelatin prints of Warhol and some
30 of Indiana capture the artists in


Associated Press
In this 1964 photo provided by Allen Cooper Enterprises, artist Andy Warhol
stands in a field of Black-Eyed Susans in New York. The image will be fea-
tured in an exhibit entitled: "Before They Were Famous: Behind the Lens of
William John Kennedy," which opened April 19 at the Site/109 gallery in
New York.


their studios, relaxing, editing,
painting and chatting on the phone.
The works presented by the
Miami-based publishing house
Kiwi Arts Group are shown
alongside some of the artists' origi-
nal works.
Kennedy shot hundreds of im-
ages of the artists; 100 will be
placed in the permanent collection
of the Warhol Museum.
The exhibition, which runs
through May 29, also includes a 40-
minute documentary film featuring
people still living who were in-
volved with Warhol, including such
Warhol superstars as Ultra Violet
and Taylor Mead.
"What's great is all these people
are in their 80s. We were able to cap-
ture them in this juncture about a pe-
riod that was almost lost in the early
1960s at such a monumental, pivotal
point in the pop art movement," said
Kiwi Arts founder Mike Huter
Warhol, who used every available
medium to create his brand of im-
agery, died in 1987 at the age of 58.
His output was prolific.
"If you amass all the sales of
Warhols, he is by far the most sold
... in the art world" today, said Alex
Rotter, Sotheby's pop art expert,
adding that Warhol began attracting
museums and collectors in a big


way in the 1980s.
The current auction record for a
Warhol is $71.7 million. Privately,
one of his works has sold for more
than $100 million.
The show at the Site/109 gallery is
just one of many current or planned
Warhol exhibitions around the
world.
A major Warhol retrospective is
now on a five-city tour of Asia. After
it concludes in Tokyo in 2014, it may
travel to New York, Mexico City and
possibly Istanbul, said Shiner
During New York's Frieze Art
Fair next month, the Warhol Mu-
seum will show some 20 Warhol Po-
laroids alongside those by Jeremy
Kost, a young New York artist who
works under the rubric of the great
pop artist. And Affirmation Art, a
nonprofit art space in Manhattan, is
showing 50 Warhol photographs,
eight of which have never been
seen outside the Warhol Museum.
But the showstopper will be a
major exhibition at the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art titled "Regard-
ing Warhol: 50 Artists, 50 Years."
Scheduled to open in September
and travel to Pittsburgh in 2013, "it
will be a blockbuster exhibition
showing how deeply entrenched
Warhol is in contemporary art,"
Shiner said.

From a modest October
1986 debut with "The Late

Big Three networks to slice
up an increasingly rich pie.

HISTORY

Today is Sunday, April 22,
the 113th day of 2012. There
are 253 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight:
On April 22, 1912, the
United States Chamber of
Commerce had its begin-
nings with a National Com-
mercial Conference held in
Washington, D.C., at the be-
hest of President William
Howard Taft.
On this date:
In 1864, Congress author-
ized the use of the phrase "In
God We Trust" on U.S. coins.
In 1889, the Oklahoma
Land Rush began at noon as
thousands of homesteaders
staked claims.
In 1952, an atomic test in
Nevada became the first nu-
clear explosion shown on live
network television as a 31-
kiloton bomb was dropped
from a B-50 Superfortress.
In 1994, Richard M. Nixon,
the 37th president of the
United States, died at a New
York hospital four days after
suffering a stroke; he was 81.
Ten years ago: Actor
Robert Blake was charged
with murder, solicitation of
murder and conspiracy in the
shooting death of his wife,
Bonny Lee Bakley, outside a
Los Angeles restaurant;
Blake's bodyguard, Earle
Caldwell, was charged with
conspiracy to commit murder;
both men pleaded not guilty.
(Both were acquitted at crimi-
nal trial; Blake was later
found liable in a civil trial.)
Five years ago: In the first
round of the French presi-
dential election, conservative
Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist
rival Segolene Royal re-
ceived enough votes to ad-
vance to a runoff, which
Sarkozy won.
One year ago: Pope
Benedict XVI consoled a 7-
year-old Japanese girl, reas-
sured a mother about her
ailing son's soul and advised
a Muslim woman that dia-
logue was the way to peace
in Ivory Coast during an un-
usual, pre-recorded Good Fri-
day appearance on Italian TV.

JAMES L. GREEN
Special to the Chronicle

City Council saw the availability of
the Three Sisters Springs property
as a tremendous opportunity to
both save a natural wonder and to ensure
the financial security of the city for genera-
tions to come. The city council became a
partner in the coalition that emerged to
raise funds to buy the property.
As a result of this visionary action by the
city council, and an appropriation of
$100,000 toward the purchase, the city is a
principal in the shared ownership of this fa-
cility Other major partners include our fel-
low Florida citizens, who contributed more
than $6 million through a grant administered
by the Florida Community Trust (FCT), $2
million through the Southwest Florida Water
Management District (SWFWMD) and an ad-
ditional $2 million from the local Felburn
Foundation. Other substantial funds came
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS), local civic and private organizations
and thousands of contributions from private
citizens. Combined, they allowed the pur-
chase of this $11 million asset.
It was agreed that the property would be
operated as part of the Crystal River Na-
tional Wildlife Refuge, with the land being
held jointly by the city of Crystal River and
SWFWMD. To ensure that the interests of
Florida citizens are fairly and fully consid-
ered in the use of the facility, the FCT re-
quired the city to follow a development plan
in its set-up and operation, and that the city
periodically report back to FCT
Currently the development portion of the
plan is being pursued to allow opening the
refuge to its new owners our fellow citi-
zens as quickly as possible. The council
has wisely held workshops to allow neigh-
bors of the new refuge area to make sugges-
tions on ways to establish the facility with

living across the canal from that portion of
the refuge bordering Magnolia Springs is
opposed to proposed ground-level manatee
viewing areas on the Three Sisters Springs
property. The areas would allow refuge visi-
tors to view the large number of manatees
in this part of the canal during the winter
months. During these months, the canal is
closed to navigation to protect the mana-
tees, except for those homeowners who live
bordering the property who may continue to
use their boats. The result is that the canal
becomes a private lagoon for manatees and
those homeowners.

Peter Hagan: A lesson in leadership


My favorite book is "A Land
Remembered." (Patrick D.
Smith, published 1984 by
Pineapple Press) In addi-
tion to being a wonderful
story, it is steeped in
Florida history Many of
us who make Florida our
home come from outside
her boundaries, so we
don't really know much ,
about her history It's a
shame because we can
learn so much from
events that occurred in Paula
the past. FLOI
A powerful new book, VOI
"Age of Barbarity: The
Forgotten Fight for the
Soul of Florida," is about a period in
our state's history no one talks much
about. The author, Billy Townsend,
is a fellow Lakelander and former
reporter for several Florida news-
papers. The book focuses on what
Townsend calls the "near civil war"
that swept Florida between 1915
and 1930, in the aftermath of World
War I and Prohibition.
One of the key characters is Sher-
iff Peter Hagan of Putnam County, a


D


small county between Gainesville
and St. Augustine. Its largest city is
Palatka. Hagan was elected sheriff
in 1916, and between
1919 and 1923, he
stopped three attempts
to lynch black men. In
r__ the third attempt, a mob
of white men from
Gainesville shot more
-, than a dozen bullets into
the Putnam County jail.
They wounded Hagan in
the hand and nearly hit
)ockery his wife and daughter,
I DA who lived with him in the
CES jail.
According to
Townsend, Florida was
the American capital of lynching in
1923, and its mobs rarely went away
without their targets. But Peter
Hagan sent this mob home defeated
after fierce hand-to-hand combat
and exchanges of gunfire.
About a year later, however, not
long after he released a statement
declaring his opposition to the Ku
Klux Klan, the people of Putnam
County voted Hagan out of office.
His defeat allowed the Klan to take


over as Putnam County's governing
force. And it unleashed anti-liquor,
anti-black and anti-Catholic mobs.
Between 1924 and 1928, more than
70 men and women, black and white,
were abducted and savagely beaten
by Klan mobs. At least four people,
black and white, were killed.
It did not end until Hagan re-
turned to the political scene. He ran
for sheriff again in 1928, emphasiz-
ing his record of defending all peo-
ple and preserving law and order.
He won a narrow victory by
fewer than 60 votes in the Demo-
cratic primary This election,
Townsend argues, is one of the most
significant and little-known elec-
tions in Florida history
It ended the chronic mob vio-
lence in Putnam County and dealt a
major blow to the Klan's ambitions
of openly governing. Hagan died in
office in 1930 from what appears to
be a stroke. He lies buried next to
his daughter Gertrude his only
child and wife Sallie, in a tiny,
virtually unmarked, grave in a
Palatka cemetery
We politicians can learn some-
thing from Peter Hagan's example.


The first is that doing the right thing
often comes with personal and po-
litical consequences. Hagan bled
and then lost an election to do his
job. What have any of us in Florida's
legislature done to honor that
standard?
More importantly, not every de-
feat is permanent. Sheriff Hagan
stuck to his guns. He ran on his
record of fighting mobs and the
equal protection of all people,
which was hard to imagine in 1928.
He didn't change who he was or
reinvent himself. He gave the peo-
ple who elected and then unelected
him a chance to realize their mis-
takes. He believed in them. And
they rewarded him with their votes.
There are lessons to be learned
from Florida's rich history and the
brave and honorable leadership of
people like Sheriff Peter Hagan.

Some


of the


things I


believe in
After living in Citrus
County for a very
long time, there are
things I believe to be true.
These beliefs are my opin-
ion, which make them
truths to me but maybe
not to you.
I believe Citrus
County is one of the most
beautiful places in all of
Florida. We are natural
Florida. We have springs
and lakes and swamps
and beautiful vistas. We
have open fields, and
miles of forests and a
coastline that is still ruled
by the dolphins, mana-
tees, birds and palm trees.
In a temperamental fit of
trying to be what we are
not, we tried and failed to
make a sandy white beach
on the Gulf of Mexico. We
discovered that man can-
not make a beautiful
sandy beach, only God can
make that happen.
I believe Citrus
County has more cranky
people per square mile
than any other county in
Florida. I believe I have
spoken to most of them.
I believe that along
County Road 48, under
the oak trees in Floral
City, is one of the most
beautiful places to live.
I believe we have
knocked down too many of
our old Victorian homes
in Citrus County and re-
placed them with busi-
nesses. We came to the
historical preservation
party very late, but we are
catching up in Inverness,
Crystal River and Floral
City
M I believe we have very
good schools in Citrus
County because we have
good people working in
them and because we
have parents who under-
stand the importance of a
strong education. I also
feel we still believe in dis-
cipline in our schools and
we have not yet become
wimpy bureaucrats afraid
to draw the line of what is
acceptable.
I believe I am the last
driver in Citrus County
who still uses a blinker
when I make a turn in my
car. I believe there must
be a solar disturbance
that stops the blinkers on
all the other cars from
working.
I believe one of the
worst decisions ever
made in Citrus County
was to block the Cleveland
Indians from building a
spring training facility in
Hernando.
I believe one of the
best decisions ever made
in Citrus County was to
block the construction of
10-story, time-share con-
dominiums out at Fort Is-
land Gulf Beach west of
Crystal River.
I believe that Chief
Osceola lived in Citrus
County in the cove of the
Withlacoochee and he
brought together a band of
Indians and escaped
slaves and out-witted
American soldiers for
years. I partially believe
the story that his where-
abouts were unknown
until he changed the loca-
tion of his camp and Cit-
rus County government
forced him to file for a
change-of-use permit and
he could not afford the
county fee, so he agreed to

Two of the projects vetoed by
Gov. Scott were Citrus County
projects: $100,000 for cleaning
up King's Bay and $200,000 for
a traffic signal at Meadowcrest
Boulevard and State Road 44.
There is no argument that
any item placed into the
budget without proper public

two projects disappear More-

way Tallahassee
works, with leg-

vors and votes for each other's
projects, a project may still be
a turkey even if the proper pro-
tocols are followed. Therefore,
it is incumbent upon the gover-
nor as the final steward of our
tax dollars to strike the unde-
serving pet projects from the
budget.
We're certain a budget of
more than $70 billion con-
tained more than $142 million
in bad choices.
While we are disappointed to
see our projects vetoed, we are
encouraged by Gov. Scott's con-
cern for following procedures
and urge him to look deeper
when vetting the budget.


Hot Corner: VETO


Spending cuts OK
I'm glad Gov. Scott vetoed some
spending. That's what needs to
happen on a federal level. King's
Bay cleanup I know everybody
wants it, but this was created by
private citizens with their fertilizer
and it can be cleaned up by pri-
vate citizens. Groups are doing it
all the time. Government needs to
get out of all these things that are
not security, infrastructure. I'm
sorry about the light, but they
could get by without it. Or they
could put a light up somehow
themselves in Meadowcrest. I'm
glad he vetoed. The budget needs
to be trimmed down all across the
country.

Cruel and unusual a test case


In the summer of 1787, just 94
years after the Salem witch
trials, as paragons of the En-
lightenment such as James Madi-
son, George Washington and
Benjamin Franklin de-
liberated in the Con-
stitutional Convention
in Philadelphia, a mob
pelted and otherwise
tormented to death a
woman accused of
being a witch. Prose- /
cution of alleged
witches, writes histo- ,
rian Edmund Morgan,
had ceased in the Georg
colonies long before OTI
the English statute VOl
criminalizing witch-
craft was repealed in
1736. Some popular sentiment,
however, lagged.
Today, 221 years after the Bill
of Rights was added to the Con-
stitution, the Supreme Court is
again pondering the Eighth
Amendment's proscription of
"cruel and unusual punish-
ments." The case illustrates the
complexity of construing some
constitutional language in chang-
ing contexts of social science and
brain science.
Evan Miller, whose five suicide
attempts surely had something to
do with the serious domestic
abuse he suffered, was complicit
in a brutal murder and in 2006
was sentenced to life in an Ala-
bama prison without the possibil-
ity of parole. Kuntrell Jackson
was involved in a video store rob-
bery during which an accomplice
fatally shot the store clerk. In
2003, Jackson was sentenced to
life in an Arkansas prison with-
out the possibility of parole.
Miller and Jackson were 14 when
they committed their crimes.
Both were tried as adults before
judges who had no discretion to
impose any other sentence. Such
mandatory sentences preclude
judges weighing a consideration
of Eighth Amendment jurispru-
dence proportionality.
Before its June 26 recess, the
Supreme Court will decide


I









ic


whether sentencing children to
die in prison is cruel. It certainly
is unusual: Although 2,300 cur-
rent prisoners have been sen-
tenced to life without parole for
crimes committed as
juveniles (age 17 or
younger), just 79 pris-
oners in 18 states are
serving sentences of
life without parole for
crimes committed
when they were 13 or
14.
/ The court must con-
sider not only what is
e Will society's sense of cru-
IER elty, but also how that
DES sense should be
shaped by what some
new technologies re-
veal about adolescent brain biol-
ogy. Shakespeare's shepherd in
"The Winter's Tale" did not need
to see brain scans in order to
wish that "there were no age be-
tween ten and three-and-twenty,
or that youth would sleep out the
rest; for there is nothing in the
between but getting wenches
with child, wronging the ancien-
try, stealing, fighting."
And with age-related laws re-
stricting the right to drink, drive,
marry, serve on juries, etc., all
American states have long ac-
knowledged adolescents' devel-
opmental shortcomings.
Neuroscience, however, now
helps explain why aspects of ado-
lescents' brains make young peo-
ple susceptible to impulsive
behavior, and to failing to antici-
pate and understand the conse-
quences of it.
Without opening the floodgates
to "excuse abuse," the Supreme
Court has accommodated what
science teaches. In 2005, the
court proscribed imposing the
death penalty on someone who
committed a murder as a juve-
nile, arguing that "the suscepti-
bility of juveniles to immature
and irresponsible behavior" can
diminish the reprehensible na-
ture of their crimes.
In 2010, the court proscribed
sentences of life without parole

shown any strong push by the
elected school boards, so what is
his motivation?
Privatization has its place. If
there is a need, a large pool of
possible bidders, it's cost-effec-
tive and it does not create more
low-paying, no-benefit jobs. In
addition, would the employees
be held to the same standards as
current ones, including back-
ground checks?
Working for the Department of
Juvenile Justice, I saw firsthand
how the private sector worked in
several juvenile commitment
programs. They hired minimum-
wage people with limited train-

with the many problems. Jeb

Rep. Smith also forced drug
testing on public employees and
welfare recipients but exempted
our elected officials. His logic
that the courts, under the First
Amendment, struck down laws
requiring testing of elected offi-
cials was not correct. The ruling
from the court on other cases is
based on the Fourth Amend-
ment, which is illegal search and
seizure.
This same amendment will

its citizens. He argues that the
Senate president can order drug
testing on elected officials. I
would like to know how many

to say he has to have justifica-

there is a drug problem.
It appears Rep. Smith has his
own strange agenda which is not
necessarily beneficial for the
people of his district or the state

for juveniles convicted of a crime
other than homicide, arguing that
such sentences improperly deny
juvenile offenders "a chance to
demonstrate growth and matu-
rity."
In both cases, the sentences
were judged cruel and unusual
because they were dispropor-
tional to actual culpability. In-
creasingly, the criminal justice
system acknowledges the impor-
tance of scientific findings about
adolescents' entangled neurolog-
ical, physiological and psycholog-
ical developments. Such findings
condition how we read some con-
stitutional language.
In 1958, the court said: "The
(Eighth) Amendment must draw
its meaning from the evolving
standards of decency that mark
the progress of a maturing soci-
ety." Justice Antonin Scalia has
warned: "A society that adopts a
bill of rights is skeptical that
'evolving standards of decency'
always 'mark progress,' and that
societies always 'mature,' as op-
posed to rot." But even the "orig-
inalist" Scalia, although disposed
to construe the Constitution's
terms as they were understood
when ratified, would today pro-
scribe some late 18th-century
punishments, such as public lash-
ing and branding.
Denying juveniles even a
chance for parole defeats the
penal objective of rehabilitation.
It deprives prisoners of the in-
centive to reform themselves.
Some prisons withhold educa-
tion, counseling and other reha-
bilitation programs from
prisoners ineligible for parole.
Denying these to adolescents in
a period of life crucial to social
and psychological growth stunts
what the court in 2005 called the
prisoner's "potential to attain a
mature understanding of his own
humanity." Which seems, in a
word actually, three words -
"cruel and unusual."

Does anybody really know what time it is?


'As I was walking down the
street one day, a man came up to
me and asked me what the time
was that was on my watch, yeah,
and I said, Does anybody really
know what time it is ... does
anybody really care?"
Robert Lamm,
with the group Chicago,
circa 1969.
MEN
Since 1884, the measurement
of time has begun and ended
in Greenwich, England.
GMT is short for Greenwich Mean
Time and is so called because of
the location of the The Greenwich
Meridian which, as you might
have guessed by now, is at
Greenwich, England.
While some areas have their


own idiosyncrasies,
there are generally 24
times zones that are
recognized worldwide.
Depending upon
whether one goes east
or west, the time moves
forward or backward
from Greenwich; then,
approximately midway
around the world, the Fred E
time zones collide with A SK
it being GMT plus 12 OFI
hours going east and
GMT minus 12 hours
going west. To reconcile this,
there's the international dateline.
When the line is crossed, the time
on clocks does not change, but the
date does folks heading west

Good.
Because I'm reason-

grasped it, not while
we were doing it.
After leaving Amer-

LIFE took two days to get
there. After sailing
from Samoa on the
evening of Feb. 14, we lost Feb. 15
entirely and woke up the next
morning on Feb. 16 we never
had and will never have Feb. 15,
2012.
On to Fiji.


Fiji used to be a full-bore mem-
ber of the British commonwealth,
but the understanding I gained
while there is that it is now an in-
dependent republic, still with a
strong British influence, but with-
out a present formal relationship.
Frankly, my observation was also
that Fiji is more akin to America
in its commercialization of the wa-
terfront than is American Samoa
- still beautiful, still very desir-
able to visit, but not at all in a nat-
ural state. While there, Cheryl
bought a very appealing Maori
necklace, which upon closer in-
spection appeared to have possi-
bly been made in China!
What about our lost day?
We got it back somewhere
aboard an airplane while coming


home from Sydney March 1 lasted
for 48 hours. But, I assure you,
spending a bonus day traveling
home in no way made up for los-
ing a day of cruising!
Now, back to the question:
Does anybody really know what
time it is?
Probably not.
But, Cheryl and I enjoyed each
other and our trip together to the
fullest, even during those moments
when we didn't have a clue as to
the correct minute, hour or date.
We didn't know, but neither did
we care!

Budget cuts: The debt crisis strikes home


DR. D.C. HAVRE
Special to the Chronicle

In response to the Chronicle's
"What to cut?" articles on April 16's
front page, I remembered some
thoughts I had recorded in a notebook
on Jan. 21, 2011. The new year was
starting on financially shaky ground,
and I realized that at all levels of gov-
ernment (federal, state, county, local),
the prevailing economic conditions
called for reduced spending and more
balanced fiscal responsibility "Debt
crisis" seemed to be the watchwords
of the day
Legislators are routinely pressured to
keep everyone under their aegis com-
fortable without raising taxes or cutting
services or programs. How is this possi-
ble? It can only be accomplished
through intelligent compromise.
Legislators should first begin to
rank or prioritize how important each
considered item or service is to their
constituents at large. Are they neces-
sary for the majority or all of the citi-
zens, or are they niceties? Nice vs.
necessary Necessary for what? Nec-

What percentage of the city's or

would not suffer inordinately or be in

to be closed temporarily But if they in-

increase taxes for the entire citizenry
to mollify a minority of the popula-
tion? Do we have to continue lighting
up ball fields at the public parks? Per-
haps day games would be OK until the

These are all legitimate questions.
The answers are not simple. To reach
good answers, we must first prioritize

which is largely concealed
from the homeowners by
trees and other vegetation.
Of course the homeown-
ers are correct that in the
winter months, during the
operating hours of the
refuge, there will be visi-
tors watching manatees
from designated areas.
During these limited hours,
they will be visible from the
backyards of the objectors
and occasionally a faint
voice announcing,
"Mommy, look at the baby
manatee!" may also be
heard. The viewing area
plans call for the use of fo-
liage to minimize the pres-
ence of visitors both on the
walking path and at view-
ing areas, but the handful
of homeowners are
adamant that there be no
viewing areas.
The FWS has advised the
city council that because
the canal is broad and
deep, it is often the best
place to observe manatees
from the refuge, and at
times it is the only place
where manatees can be
seen. Therefore, the view-
ing areas are essential. The
FCT has expressed its sup-
port of the viewing area
concept. The executive di-
rector of the Felburn Foun-
dation, appearing before
the city council, stated his

strong support for the view-
ing areas and advised that
he is considering consulta-
tion with the foundation's
legal counsel regarding
possible recourse if the
areas are eliminated.
The matter was dis-
cussed by the city council
during its March 26 meet-
ing. The discussion in-
cluded comments by
council members on a vari-
ety of ways that would have
the least amount of impact
on the surrounding neigh-
bors as visitors view the
manatees in the wild.
Mayor Jim Farley stated: "I
do not see how we can have
viewing areas." City Man-
agerAndy Houston advised
that a revised viewing area
proposal would be submit-
ted to the council.
It would seem that the
property owners on both
sides of the canal have the

property The planners of
the refuge are making rea-
sonable attempts to accom-


modate the complaints of all
the refuge neighbors. The
Chronicle, in a recent edito-
rial titled "Public access is
the priority," stated "... the
bottom line is that Three
Sisters was purchased in
the name of the citizens of
the county, state and nation.
And citizens have a right to
use their land."
If no amount of reason-
able accommodation will
result in an agreement,
fairness requires the city
council to insist on the
viewing areas. As the
Chronicle noted, "... citi-
zens have a right to use
their land." Those who
agree should let the city
council know, before an es-
sential feature of the refuge
is compromised or worse
yet, the existence of the
refuge is threatened.

Rumors swirl of smaller

iPad which Jobs detested
PETER SVENSSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK-Apple generates more gossip
than the Kardashians.
There's a constantly spinning mill of rumors
about Apple products, most of which turn out
to be untrue. What's unusual this week is that
talk has revived of a smaller iPad model, an
idea company founder Steve Jobs derided pub-
licly a year before he died.
Apple and its suppliers aren't commenting.
Rumors of a smaller iPad, or "iPad mini" have
percolated ever since the first iPad was
launched two years ago. This time around,
they're fed by media reports from South Korea,
China and Taiwan, saying Apple has ordered
Samsung screens that are 7.86 inches meas-
ured on the diagonal. That would make for a
screen about half the size of the current iPad,
which has a diagonal measurement of 9.7
inches.
WHY IT'S A GOOD IDEA: A smaller tablet
would help Apple further its lead in the tablet
market.
"From a competitive standpoint, we believe
an iPad mini with a lower price point would be
the competition's worst nightmare, said Shaw
Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee. "Most (competi-
tors) already have a tough enough time com-
peting against the iPad 2, as well as the new
iPad."
Apple has successfully fended off competi-
tors who have tried to sell tablets in iPad's size
range. But last year, Amazon.com Inc. figured
out how to crack Apple's stranglehold on
tablets by making a half-size, no-frills tablet.
The result was the Kindle Fire, which sells for
$199 -basically, the cost of production. Ama-
zon has sold millions of them.
Apple sells the iPod Touch for $199, but its
screen is about a quarter of the size of the Kin-
dle Fire a big disadvantage for people who
want to enjoy books, movies and games. It also
sells the older iPad model for $399. It has noth-
ing in between.
Price isn't the only reason customers might
prefer a smaller tablet. A 7-inch model would
fit in many handbags, unlike the current iPad.
Wu said he's seen evidence of Apple experi-
menting with both smaller and larger tablet
screens since 2009, and doesn't sense that the
release of an iPad mini is "imminent."
WHAT IT MIGHT COST: It could be hard
for Apple to make money from an iPad-quality
7-inch tablet that sells for $299. Analysts at IHS
iSuppli estimate a smaller tablet would cost
around $250 to produce, a figure that doesn't in-
clude development costs, packaging or patent
royalties. That suggests Apple would price it at
$329 or $349.
"The first thing you always have to keep in
mind is: Apple is not going to sell an unprof-
itable product," said Rhoda Alexander at
iSuppli.
WHY IT'S A BAD IDEA: A smaller iPad
would be a headache for software developers.
"Going to a different screen size ends up
being a ton of work," said Nate Weiner, the cre-
ator of Pocket, an application that stores Web
pages and other material for later reading.
"If you take, for an example, an interface
built for the iPad and try to cram it into the Kin-
dle Fire, it just doesn't fit," he said.
However, developers who have already
adapted their programs to the Kindle Fire or
other 7-inch tablets wouldn't face a big hurdle
in adapting to a third Apple screen size, Weiner
said.
WHAT JOBS THOUGHT: Apple's late CEO
made a rare appearance on an October 2010
earnings conference call to launch a tirade
against the 7-inch tablet Samsung Electronics
Inc. was set to launch as the first major chal-
lenger to the iPad.
"The reason we wouldn't make a 7-inch
tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price
point, it's because we don't think you can make
a great tablet with a 7-inch screen," Jobs said.

An Associated Press reporter holds up the new iPad during an event March 7 in San Francisco. Ru-
mors of a smaller iPad, or "iPad mini" have percolated ever since the first iPad was launched two
years ago. This time around, they're fed by media reports from South Korea, China and Taiwan, say-
ing Apple has ordered Samsung screens that are 7.86 inches measured on the diagonal. That would
make for a screen about half the size of the current iPad, which has a diagonal measurement of
9.7 inches.


The Kindle Fire is
displayed Sept. 28
at a news
conference in New
York. Apple has

petitors who have

crack Apple's

a half-size, no-frills
tablet. The result
was the Kindle
Fire, which sells
for $199 -
basically, the cost
of production.
Amazon has sold
millions of them.


"The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to
compete with a smartphone and too small to
compete with an iPad."
He said the resolution of the display could be
increased to make up for the smaller size, but
that would be "meaningless, unless your tablet
also includes sandpaper, so that the user can
sand down their fingers to around one quarter
of the present size."
"There are clear limits of how close you can


physically place elements on a touch screen be-
fore users cannot reliably tap, flick or pinch
them. This is one of the key reasons we think
the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size re-
quired to create great tablet apps," he said.
Jobs failed to mention Apple's success de-
veloping apps that use taps, flicks and pinches
on the iPhone, with its 3.5-inch screen.

Think outside the box of a traditional job


If you think you're
boxed in by a lack of
career options,
maybe it's time to think
outside the box.
The "box" in this case
is our concept of a tradi-
tional job -working full- /
time for one company, \
more or less from 9 to 5,
five days a week. As such, Laura
we fill a functional role WORK
defined by a set of re- CONNI
sponsibilities and com-
petencies, with a job
title, spot on the company orgazina-
tional chart and career path.
But times change and today's
world of work is unlike anything
we've ever experienced.
If you are unemployed, there's no
need to belabor the point; you know
that businesses have had to remain
agile in this economy by downsiz-
ing, "right" sizing, outsourcing and
crowdsourcing.


Byrnes
(FORCE
SECTION


Unfortunately for
many, that means being
downsized, right sized,
outsourced or crowd-
sourced right out of a
regular paycheck.
Certainly, finding an-
other permanent job is
one solution. But if
you're ready for some-
thing new in your career,
or if you're already work-
ing and looking to boost
your earning potential, it
may be time to become a


free-agent.
Free-agent workers by any other
name are freelancers, temporary
contract workers and independent
professionals and consultants. Also
referred to as "knowledge work-
ers," they trade on the demand for
their skills and expertise, rather
than filling a particular job.
In other words, it's about expert-
ise as much as, or even more so,


than experience.
Today, more than four in 10 em-
ployees classify themselves as free
agents compared to 26 percent in
2008. These days you can work from
just about anywhere if you have the
Internet and computer or mobile
device. Right now, freelance oppor-
tunities abound, from social media
to project management to virtual as-
sistance to content development.
We'll show you how to find them.
Workforce Connection is launch-
ing "Your Talent Hub," an innova-
tive workforce program to assist
professionals in transition through
crowdsourcing and freelancing op-
portunities. Our goal is to teach you
the skills needed to compete and
succeed in the new world of work.
That new world of work is a "Free
Agent Nation" of borderless work-
places where freelancers profit by
coworking in project-specific vir-
tual teams that form, collaborate,
disband and form again. Collec-


tively, there are more than 25 mil-
lion members in this contingent
workforce which companies can tap
into to get work done without
weighing down the bottom line.
To get started, we are holding two
Freelance Talent Hub orientations
in partnership with the College of
Central Florida (CF): April 25 at
CF's Klein Conference Center in
Ocala, and April 30 at the college's
Learning and Conference Center in
Lecanto. Next month, we'll begin a
special training program that takes
place once a week for four weeks.
There is no charge to participate in
the training.
The program will be presented by
Steve Urquhart whose company,
T21 Solutions, specializes in work-
force alternative strategies and
project management. Urquhart, an
Army veteran, is also founder of
VETSourcing, a nonprofit that

Family

could


use help

D EAR BRUCE:
Some family
friends bought a
house several years ago,
when the housing market
balloon was about to pop.
Needless to say, they way
overpaid for the house.
They were able to pay for
a couple of years, then,
unfortunately, one of them
lost their job. Now they
are in dire straits and may
lose their house.
Because we have a
great pension and a lot
saved, we are thinking of
helping them out I would
hate to see them lose their
house. Would it be wise to
help the family make their
house payments in hopes
that they can find work? If
they are unable to find
jobs equivalent to what
they were paid, might the
house be refinanced at a
later date at a lower rate
of interest? Trying to
Help, via email
DEAR TRYING TO
HELP: While I commend
you for considering such a
generous offer, if my sup-
positions are correct, it
probably would not be a
smart move. If the family
purchased the house a
few years ago at the height
of the market and now
that market has softened,
essentially they have no
equity in the home, and
little prospect of having
equity for a long time. If
you choose to help them,
you would have to go in
with the idea of never see-
ing the money again. If
you are OK with that, I ap-
plaud you.
I would not continue to
pay the mortgage on a
house that is undervalued
and has little chance of re-
covery for a considerable
time. A voluntary repos-
session would likely be in
your friends' best interest.
Helping them get into a
rental property would be
very generous.
DEAR BRUCE: I need
to make a change in my
will. Instead of going to my
attorney for this simple
change, can I just make it
myself, get the change no-
tarized and leave it at
that? TV, via email
DEAR TV: Very simple
reply: Never monkey with
a will. Never, never, never
write in the margins or try
to add a codicil of your
own.
If you make any change,
notarized or otherwise,
you are likely to invali-
date the entire document.
You would never know
if what you did was right
or not because, unfortu-
nately, these things don't
come to light until after
your demise. And at that
point, you no longer can
speak to your intentions.
If you wish to make a
change, see the attorney
who drew up the will or, if
he or she is no longer in
the picture, find another
attorney It might be eas-
ier to redraft the entire
document. That is up to
the attorney
DEAR BRUCE: I re-
cently received a phone
solicitation that has left
me a little disturbed. The
call supposedly came
from a well-known finan-
cial institution wanting to
consolidate and refinance
my debt. What disturbed
me was that she said, "I
ran your credit report and
saw that you had out-
standing balances on a

Your sister might object to

Attention Consumers!
Please make sure you
are using a licensed

professional. Many
service advertisers are
required by state law
to include their state
license number in all
advertisements. If you
don't see a license
number in the ad, you
should inquire about it
and be suspicious that
you may be contact-
ing an unlicensed
business. The Citrus
County Chronicle
wants to ensure that
our ads meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Beware of any service
advertiser that can not
provide proof that
they are licensed to do
business. For questions
about business
licensing, please call
your city or county gov-
ernment offices.

He is noticing a
lot of stressed
plants and
trees through-
out the county.
Being a vet-
eran arborist
himself, he was
concerned


about the problem.
Thank you for caring
and calling.
While traveling
through the southwest
part of the county, I was
bewildered by the
stressed pines that I saw.
I noticed other stressed
species also, but not like
the pines and oaks. This


is not a good sign.
With stressed trees
come wood-boring in-
sects. Back in 1999, the
forestry division in Her-
nando County had their
hands full with wood-
boring insects, as did a
lot of homeowners.
As a rule, wood-boring
insects attack weak and
stressed trees. I believe
Citrus County will have a
big problem with these
wood-boring insects in
2012-13.
I hope I am wrong, but
with the continuing
drought I foresee a lot of
tree removals in the
county. Maybe summer
will bless us with the
desperately needed
rains. Our lakes, river

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Eco-friendly choices in mowers


Electric, solar or human-powered choices cut down on pollution


Each weekend, more than 54 mil-
lion Americans mow their lawns,
using 800 million gallons of gas
per year and producing tons of air pol-
lutants. Garden equipment
engines, which have had un-
regulated emissions until
very recently, emit high lev-
els of carbon monoxide, .
volatile organic compounds
and nitrogen oxides, produc-
ing up to 5 percent of the na-
tion's air pollution and a ,
good deal more in metropol-
itan areas. Unlike cars and Joan Bi
trucks, lawn mowers do not FLOE
come equipped with smog- FR|E
reducing attachments.
According to the U.S. En- LIV
vironmental Protection
Agency (EPA), a traditional gas-powered
lawnmower produces as much air pol-
lution as 43 new cars each driven 12,000
miles. Fortunately, the EPA is now phas-
ing in new emissions standards for gas
mower engines that will result in a 32
percent smog reduction. And with even
more stringent standards slated to go
into effect soon in California, environ-
mental leaders are hoping the old adage


I
I


for automobile trends will soon apply to
lawnmowers, too.
Eco-conscious consumers looking
for a new mower have a number of
mowing options to consider:
Electric Mowers: A num-
ber of electric models are
available, and many models
cost less than $200. The
trade-off is that they only
work for small lawns and
Sm must be tethered to a power
outlet during use. Keep in
mind, going electric is not
adshaw necessarily a way to reduce
IDA- pollution overall. According
NDLY to Consumer Reports,
'"Achieving a net environ-
ING mental savings from switch-
ing to electric mowers de-
pends on the efficiency of the power
plant" where the electricity originates.
Solar-Powered Mowers: Another
green option is a solar-powered
mulching mower, which is in essence a
cordless electric mower modified with
a small solar array to turn sunlight
into power The battery on this mower
can also be charged by simply plug-
ging it into an electric outlet. If money


is not an issue, the $2,500 solar-pow-
ered "auto mower" can't be beat for
both eco-friendliness and conven-
ience. It wanders unattended around
any level lawn, its collision sensors
carefully avoiding contact with any-
thing but the grass itself.
Reel Mowers: The most eco-friendly
lawn mower is the push mower. Reel
mowers are the ultimate in environ-
mentally friendly, quiet, maintenance-
free mowing. You push, they mow!
Although people unfamiliar with reel
mowers will try and tell you otherwise,
modem reel mowers are not difficult to
use and don't require much more effort
than power mowers. A reel mower takes
a bit longer to use than a power mower,
although it is a much more pleasant ex-
perience. If it takes 45 minutes to mow
with a traditional gas mower, it is likely
to take 60 to 70 minutes with a reel
mower It's possible to use them on large
lawns, but the time commitment isn't re-
alistic for most people.
This spring, consider switching to
lawn equipment that uses an alterna-
tive fuel or better yet, no fuel at all!

Radio rejuvenated; assessing value of a lighter collection


Dear John: I talked to you about this
lamp on your radio show. Here are
the photos. It is 36 inches high. Is it
bronze and what is it worth? EG.,
Brooksville
Dear EG.: The fig-
ural lamp consisting
of male and female A I
nudes holding aloft a
leaded glass globe
appears to be made -
of bronze. The style '-
of the lamp is Art
Nouveau, popular
circa 1890-1910. Art John Sikorski
Nouveau decorative
arts were produced SIKORSKI'S
in the United States, AT rIC
England, and Eu-
rope. Due to demand in the marketplace
for original Art Nouveau bronzes, repro-
ductions have been made for several
decades. Based on the close-up photos you
included, I think you have a reproduction
made within the past 25 years. The overall
detail is poor, and the figures seem lifeless.
Potential dollar value is catch-as-catch-can.
DearJohn: You said to let you know what
I did about my old radio that you featured


in your article. I just got it back from Radio
Daze and it now plays like new. The peo-
ple there were very polite, helpful and
knowledgeable. It was not the cheapest
thing I have done, as shipping was very
high, but the work for the money was well
worth it. They went through the whole
thing and what needed done got done.
Thank you for giving me the information
as to where to send it, and I would recom-
mend them to anyone who wants to save a
memory from the past. C.V, Internet
Dear C.V: Well, I am glad you had suc-
cess and a good experience with the peo-
ple at Radio Daze. As a reminder for those
who need old radio repairs, parts, etc., the
website is www.radiodaze.com. The toll-
free number is 877-653-8823. Thank you for
letting us know how things worked out
DearJohn: I just have one question. Con-
cerning the response you wrote in your ar-
ticle concerning collectable lighters: Can
you guide me in the right direction to
someone who might be interested in, or
could advise me on a collection I inherited
from my brother a few weeks ago? The col-
lection consists of many Zippos, some
plain, and some advertisement type. I also
have new executive Calibri and


Prometheus lighters, both pocket and desk
types. I have Marlboro, Flames, Crown
Jack, Safelite, Ronson and Scripto lighters.
Some are new in original boxes. Any help
is appreciated. -JC., Internet
DearJ.C.: First, make an inventory of the

This figural lamp depicting two nudes hold-
ing aloft a globe is done in "Art Nouveau"
style, which was popular around 1890 to
1910. Original Art Nouveau pieces are
highly prized, but this is likely a reproduc-

is no special collector interest.

Sizing up plant containers


Sometimes gardeners
need to sit back, sur-
vey the garden and
enjoy the fruits of their
labor from a comfortable
seat. A shady porch or patio
is a good spot to take a cup
of tea and leaf through a
magazine for half an hour.
Having a visitor join in the
social ritual makes the re-
laxing break all the more
enjoyable.
Stores and garden centers
display many kinds of
planters to tempt plant
lovers. Combination pots
are sold already planted to
decorate a terrace, porch or
outdoor living space. Over
the years, gardeners collect
planters in concrete, terra-
cotta clay, glazed ceramics,
durable wood, resin and
plastic. Plants get old, leggy
and cease to bloom. The soil


nutrients are
used up by the
plants and need
to be added to or
replaced annu-
ally The clutter
at the potting
shed needs to be
reduced, reused,
replanted or re-
cycled. Spring is Jane
an ideal time for
clean-up, repot- JAh
ting and refresh- GAR
ing planters.
In a square teak box, a
reused microwave turntable
at the bottom protects the
wood. A black plastic pot will
fit nicely inside. Fifteen years
ago, I had accidently altered
a batch of coontie seeds, and
the resulting plants are per-
fectly formed but have re-
mained miniature. The dwarf
specimen cycad, Zamia


Weber
IE'S
DEN


pumila, was repot-
ted with fresh
sandy soil mixed
with natural de-
cayed humus and
placed in the teak
box. Nestled in the
shade beside the
front porch pillar,
its erect, frond-
like leaves are
showcased nicely.
To balance the
coontie, I repot-
ted a multi-


crowned Mexican
Cardboard plant, Zamia
maritima, in an aged orange
plastic nursery pot and
placed it beside the oppos-
ing column. Perhaps a few
sprigs of small-leafed Hed-
era ivy could trail from one
pot and variegated ivy from
the other. Planters can be a


work in progress.
Cobalt blue is a popular
color in bottles and ceramic
glaze. A pair of rotund, 14-
inch diameter fired ceramic
planters had only one
drainage hole in the bottom.
The material was too hard
to make more holes. There
is always another way: Two
inches of red sandstone in
the bottom of the planters
keep roots out, along with
any standing water. If
planted directly in the pots,
roots and soil would fill it
and would require butcher-
ing to remove plants
through the narrower rim.
A plastic pot fit. One tall,
lance-leaved, variegated
Tasmanian Blue Flax lily in
the center surrounded by

Having active kids doesn 't

have to lead to a cluttered house


MELISSA RAYWORTH
For The Associated Press

- t starts with a lacrosse
stick and cleats by the
front door. Then comes
the batting helmet and
- glove on the bedroom
floor, and the baseball hat
on the kitchen table.
Karate uniforms pile up in
the laundry room next to
team jerseys, and errant
tennis balls roll down the
hall.
Can we get through the
spring and summer sports
seasons without our homes
ending up in total disarray?
Interior designer Betsy
Burnham, founder of Burn-
ham Design in Los Angeles,
says nearly every home re-
modeling project she works
on these days includes a
mudroom with one prior-
ity: storing and organizing
sports equipment.
Here, she and interior
design experts Brian
Patrick Flynn of decor
demon.com and Kyle
Schuneman of Live Well
Designs offer tips on han-
dling all this gear without
sacrificing style, even when
you don't have a mudroom.
Begin with
workflow
Your system for handling
sports clothing, says
Schuneman, can be as sim-
ple as "two color-coded
baskets by the back door or
the laundry room: one for
dirty, one for clean. Make it


a habit to immediately put
your uniforms in the dirty
basket after the game," he
says. "Once it's out of the
wash, you fold it and put it
in the clean basket," rather
than putting it away with
other clothing in a
bedroom.
For a dose of style, use
colorful woven baskets
rather than typical plastic
hampers or laundry bins.
Just make sure the
youngest kids can easily
reach their items.
"Once you train yourself
to this habit, it will be a
natural," Schuneman says,
and the stress of searching
for a team jersey before a
game will be history The
key is sticking to the system
and putting things in their
place.
Choose one
location for gear
You don't need a huge
space for sports gear, and it
doesn't have to be in or
near a child's bedroom.
"Often people are chal-
lenged for space," Burn-
ham says. Any spot works:
"It can be a little area
under the stairs or one
area of your entryway," as
long as it's dedicated to
sports stuff.
One option is revamping
part of your garage, Burn-
ham says. Rather than
using plastic storage bins
and old boxes, outfit this
space with vintage metal

containers refurbished with fresh
paint, or large baskets with lids.
The summer sports season "can be
a great reason to give your garage a
facelift," Burnham says, using stor-
age that is sturdy but attractive.
Or spend a Saturday cleaning out
an entryway closet, then add hooks
and baskets for sports items. You
may have more space available
than you think.
Get creative
with cabinets
There are many storage options
designed specifically for sporting
goods and kids' items. But Flynn
suggests thinking more broadly His
favorite creative solution, he says,
"always solicits an 'Are you kid-
ding?' response."
"I usually pick up pre-fab kitchen
cabinets from big box retailers,
then install them as storage solu-
tions for kids' rooms," Flynn says.
"They come in all different sizes,
many the ideal depth for basket-
balls or soccer balls, and many in
excellent heights, tall enough for
baseball bats or hockey sticks."
"My favorite is Ikea's Abstrakt in
high-gloss red. I usually adorn the
cabinet door fronts with large towel
rings instead of drawer pulls. This
way they add that playful, unex-
pected, kid's room touch, and kids
can actually lay their soccer socks
out on them, or their freshly
washed hand towels," Flynn says.
"For a 6-year-old boy in Los Ange-
les, I installed three of them side-
by-side on a wall below a window,
instantly adding concealed storage
for his sports gear Plus, it doubles
as a homework area, since I added
a countertop to it."

three fragrant "Caliente
Pink" geraniums planted in
a garden soil filled the pot
The geraniums will grow to
cascade over the rim after
filling the pot. The combo
could last many years. Put it
on a plant dolly with caster
wheels so the heavy planter
can be wheeled into the
garage for frigid winter
nights.
Several more containers
were filled similarly with
different-colored sets of
geraniums: two with deep
carmine, two in scarlet and
another with variegated
leaves called "Caliente
Gem." Geraniums need full
sun to flower well. Planters
require fertilizing after the
first two months. A pre-


emergent herbicide such as
Free Hand or Ronstar will
prevent weed seeds for up
to three months. A little
Spanish moss decorates the
soil surface while the gera-
niums fill in. Place the moss
in a bag and microwave it
for a minute to kill chiggers
that may inhabit it. Deer
moss, a native lichen, also
makes a decorative ground
cover in planters.
Watering planters is an
easily forgotten chore. A bat-
tery operated timer and
micro or drip irrigation can
easily be installed to auto-
matically irrigate the plants.
Different sized and colored
drippers provide various
amounts of water, including
half, one or two gallons an
hour If the timer is set for 15
minutes every other day, the
pots would get two cups, a
quart or half a gallon each
time. Free instruction book-

Combine seating
with storage
All three designers suggest invest-
ing in seating with built-in storage,
like a bench with cubbies underneath.
"In a bedroom redesign I did for
two young sisters in Atlanta, I had a
window seat outfitted with deep
drawers, which can hold everything
the girls need," Flynn says, including
tennis gear.
Schuneman hunts for vintage
trunks to use this way '"A trunk in a
mudroom or entryway can double as
a chic bench to be able to take on and
off those cleats," he says. "If you have
multiple items or sports, and want
them separate, try getting smaller
square trunks in varying shades and
place them next to each other. It's a
great way to have an easy color-
coded system, without it feeling like
a kids' playroom."


'"A vintage barrel or ceramic pot,"
he says, can "house your tall items,
like baseball bats, tennis racquets and
lacrosse sticks, next to the bench."
Put sports in
the spotlight
Sometimes, celebrating the pres-
ence of all this gear is better than
hiding it. Flynn is a fan of "open solu-
tions, whether with hooks, shadow-
boxes or shelves."
Schuneman agrees: "Hooks are es-
sential. No one wants to hang up their
coats, but hooks on the wall are an easy
way to throw your uniforms, hoodies
and track jackets up. Give everyone
their own hook with their initial on
them to make the process go smoothly"
All three designers suggest seeking
out vintage school lockers or gym
lockers, which can be found online at
eBay and elsewhere. Real lockers
bring "a retro schoolhouse feel,"
Schuneman says, and are "incredibly
useful. Each kid can have a locker
and even the parents, too!"
If a room is "going to be full of uni-
forms, cleats and gear, I run with the


preppy theme by bringing in vintage
wire baskets, plaid bowling bags,
school banners and vintage school-
house pieces to play it up," Flynn
says. "This way, it becomes an obvi-
ous part of the design but in a play-
ful, designer-caliber manner"
If "being a sports parent is who you


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

are right now," Burnham says,
"there's no reason to apologize for
it." Instead of hiding lacrosse sticks
and baseball bats, "get a great look-
ing umbrella stand" and keep those
items right by your front door.
"It's who you are," Burnham says.
"And everybody gets it."

Find creative new uses for old bath towels


B ath towels are
long-lasting, but
at some point
they need to be re-
placed. Maybe they're
no longer as absorbent
as they should be, or
are tattered or frayed.
Rather than throw
them away, give them a
second life. Sar
Here are a few ideas: FRU
Cleaning: Most peo- LIV
ple hang onto old tow-
els and use them as rags. You can
cut them into 8-inch squares and
sew flannel or micro fleece onto
the back. Use them for cleaning or
as homemade baby wipes. You can
also make your own Swiffer cloth
covers and dusters. For a pictorial,
visit saving4six.com/2012/01/home-
made-swiffer-sweeper-and-
duster.html.


II


Bath mat: Cut the
towel into pieces that
are 3/4-inch wide and 5-
inch long, then tie them
^ onto gridded matting to
make a bath mat. For a
*tutorial, visit finecraft
guild.com/eco-friendly-
bath-mat-fun-diy-
project-to-do-in-the-
Noel easter-break/. One
GAL reader, Tiffany from
NG Canada, shares: "I
reused an old bath
towel to make a bath mat. I topped
it with blue crushed panne velour,
put the towel inside to absorb the
water and added dark brown
fleece on the bottom to hold the
moisture in so it doesn't leave a
sopping mess on the floor. It's so
much cozier on my feet than a
store-bought one."
Pets: Call local animal shelters


and see if they would like your old
towels. Or use them for your own
pets to line carriers and kennels,
clean muddy paws, or dry their fur
after a bath. You can make a pull-
and-throw toy for dogs, too. Cut
three strips and braid them, then
knot the ends. Old dishtowels work
best for this.
Bath pouf: Make a bath pouf
that looks like a rose, either to
keep for yourself or to give as a
gift. Visit rufflesand
stuff com/2010/02/bath-pouf-that-
um-looks-like-rose.html. You can
easily fold and stitch the sides of
small washcloths to slip soap sliv-
ers into and use in the bath or
shower, or wrap the cloth around
the slivers, join at the top and use
a rubber-band to close it up.
Hand towels: Cut full-sized towels
into smaller hand towels (size: 28
inches long by 16 inches wide), hem


or use fabric glue and add lace or
fabric. Another reader, Carol from
Canada, shares: "I decided to put
lace on some of my towels, and what
a difference it made! I just cut off
the frayed part of my old towel, zig-
zagged the towel and then zigzagged
the lace. I did five old towels in one
afternoon, and now I have new tow-
els for cheap. So before spending
money, always look for ways to do
things with what you have."
Towel origami: Search online
for directions to make cute towel
animals or go to your local library
and find the book "The Lost Art of
Towel Origami" by Alison Jenkins.
For young kids: See instructions
for making hooded towels at
makeandtakes.com/easy-hooded-
bath-towel, or towel bibs at
martawrites. com/2010/09/how-to-
make-towel-bib.html.
In the car: Keep old towels in


the car for sudden spills, to cover
hot seats or to wipe muddy shoes.
They also come in handy when you
go to the park with kids and a
swing or slide is still wet from rain,
or if you want to sit on the grass.
Draft stoppers: Keep a few to
roll up and use as draft stoppers
for doors or window sills. For an
easy tutorial, visit craftydame.
blogspot.com/2011/01/easiest-
peasiest-draft-stopper-ever.html.
