SIDIBE staft writer Pharmacist Raj Patel will say only his pharmacy caters to people who are sick and need medication when asked if he stocks oxycodone. Patel and other pharmacists have unwit- tingly found themselves at the tip of the spear in law enforcement's efforts to blunt prescription drug abuse in Florida and across the nation. And while the new role of pharmacists and legislation have helped to dramatically reduce access to drugs for abusers, Patel said they are feeling stressed and law en- forcement continues to push harder against peddlers. Patel's pharmacy was recently robbed by a yet-to-be caught bandit looking for drugs. "It is all a lot of pressure on us. We are not trained law enforcement people. This is not what we study in pharmacy school. We are t u h t to m th lhep ri h e ie na w it h He said pharmacists are also worried be- cause of the new and more stringent con- trols on how drugs are dispensed, the criminal element is now focusing on them to get drugs. According to Citrus County Sheriff's Office Detective John Bergen, the new "pill mill" law that came into effect in 2011 has placed serious stress on the ability of drug abusers and pushers to access pills. Bergen said most of that is attributable to one element of the law which bars doctors in pain clinics from dispensing oxycodone. "Just to give you an example of what that provision did: In 2011 there (were) 854 pain clinics in Florida; a year later, there 508," Bergen said. "It is a constant battle for us in law en- forcement because there are people who le- gitimately need these pills to help fight cancer or other diseases, and the drugs are legal if you have a prescription. The things we can do is keep being proactive and go after them and try to disrupt what they are doing. The local pharmacists have provided us a lot of help, too," Bergen said. He said pharmacies in Citrus County are voluntarily refusing to fill prescriptions by doctors from other counties. Bergen said it is not part of the new law, but that is some- thing that helps law enforcement and phar- macies keep better track of the flow of drugs. Bergen said the role of law enforcement 110twithstanding, perhaps the best way to combat prescription pill abuse starts in the home. "We are finding that a lot of the kids or younger pick up the habit by going into grandma's or their parent's medicine cabi- nets," Bergen said.

When users suddenly stop taking oxycodone, they can experience severe withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, nausea, insom- nia, muscle pain, fever and other flu-like symptoms.

This is an average of 11.2 persons dying in the state of Florida every day. Since many of the drug seekers who frequent the rogue Florida pain clinics return to their state of resi- dency, there are surely more deaths and injuries caused from the drugs that are diverted from these clinics than just those re- ported by the Florida Med- ical Examiner's Office. SAccording to the Sub- stance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adminis- tration's (SAMHSA's) 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 7 million Americans were current (past month) non- medical users of psy- chotherapeutic drugs, significantly higher (by 12 percent) compared to 6.2 million in 200mt over three million Americans, re- ported non-medical use of pain relievers. aThe NSDUH survey also indicated that the non- medical use of prescription drugs was second only to marijuana abuse. On aver- age, more than 6,600 people 12 years and older initiate use of a controlled sub- stance pharmaceutical drug for nonmedical pur- poses every day. aThe Centers for Dis- ease Control and Pre en- tion (CDC) reported tat the number of poisoning deaths involving any oploid analgesics increased from 20, 0or ta trin ion0 eight years. SSAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data set shows that between 1999 and 2009 the number of admissions to substance abuse treat- ment that reported any pain re iever a use in- creased more than six-fold. SAccording to DAWN data, the number of emer- gency department visits in- volving the misuse or abuse of pharmaceuticals in- creased by 98.4 percent be- tween 2004 and 2009. _-SOURCE: Drug Enforcement Administration What iS oxcodone? Oxycodone is a semi- synthetic opiate and the ac- tive ingredient in a number of prescription pain relief medications. OxyContin, a time-release formula of oxycodone, is available in doses ranging from 10 to 80 mg, and is intended for long-term relief of severe pain. The medications Per- cocet, Percodan and Tylox contain small doses (2.5 to 10 mg) of oxycodone com- bined with other active in- gredients, such as aspirin and acetaminophen. Oxy- codone is a Schedule II controlled substance with high abuse potential. How is oxycodone misused? Those who abuse the drug generally do so in three ways: crushing the pill into a fine powder and snorting it; chewing it; or crushing and dissolving the tablets in water and inject- ing the solution. These methods are primarily used to defeat the time-release mechanism in OxyContin tablets, causing the active ingredient to take full effect almost immediately after ingestion.

I guess that did show me the kind problem we are dealing with," said Bergen, Tactical Impact Unit detective. He said makers ofOxycon- tin, the initial extended- release drug, Purdue Pharma, did a masterful job marketing the drug to doctors as afix for managing excruci- ating pain among cancer pa- tients and arthritic people. But it was not long after OxyContin hit the market in 1995 before stories of addic- tion and abuse surfaced. In 2007, Purdue Pharma pleaded guilty to federal charges of misbranding the Diversion Control - www.deadiversion.usdoj. gov H Pa~rtn~er~ship for a Drug- www.drugfreeamerica.org American Council for Drug Education - www.acde.org _- SOURCE: The Center for Substance Abuse Research vious form, so, Bergen said, it's business as usual.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Special to the Chronicle Many who have been in citrus county for years re- member when the Crystal River Mall opened and its developer, DeBartolo, com- missioned waterfowl and marine artist, Don Mayo, to create life-size sculptures to the rooftops. They still adorn the mall today. At that time, America was in the midst of Desert Storm, and Mayo created an eagle and flag painting named "Pride." Indeed, this creation has raised more monies for charity in the state of Florida than any of Mayo's works. A few years ago, Mayo started creating another "thankful for being an American"-style painting. But fate took another direction. His wife, Sue, survived a treacherous head-on car acci- dent, leading the couple to close their gallery on U.S. 19 after 10 years in business. Many surgeries from various injuries followed for Sue, with a most difficult outcome of a traumatic brain injury Mayo put the painting away and took care of Sue and built his custom boat over the next five years. Mayo and his boat have been seen running the Crys- tal River with his flying pet hen mallard, Topsider, and Pup the Lab, who are his constant "boat buddies." Time passed and they re- opened the gallery at Heritage Village, but fate interfered again. A sinkhole opened at their home, moving them to three different living loca- tions, everything coming out of their house with 220 cubic feet of concrete coming in, Don's creative environment and studio were again under attack. In September 2011, they were able to begin moving back in studio first. And out came the rolled-up painting to again try to fin- ish in between creating de- coys and artwork for Ike's Country Kitchen in Inglis. Finally, the flag painting was complete see a close-up of just the eagle here. Watch the Chronicle for the unveiling and de- tails of how to receive the new creation. But fate has again come into the Mayos' life as Don completed the new paint- ing, which is called "Free- dom." In November 2011, he underwent surgery for two malignant tumors and started chemotherapy the next day for a very aggres- sive cancer. In March 2012, he was op- erated on again for two larger malignant tumors. In April, he traveled to Moffitt Cancer Center where he is part of a research study. They performed a seven- hour surgery, removing or- gans and repairing some. Eight days later, it was home to Crystal River. But in a week's time, Mayo was running a 104- degree fever, so back to Mof- fitt he went, where he was treated with heavy antibi- otics. There is a long road ahead, but the couple are taking things a day at a time. Sue had a lot of time to create in her own way while staying in the room with Don. So after consulting with the artist, they decided "Freedom" needed to be available to raise monies, as was done with the sold-out "Pri de." This time, a custom photo print produced with Visual Sports will be available to the public for a $25 donation to Key Training Center to help raise monies during the July promotion for the live auction and Run for the Money. State funding has been cut for Key Training Center, and the organization needs the community's help. The Mayos have been proud to be a friend of the Key Train- ing Center. Donations for "Freedom" will help them further the mission of the organization. The Mayos are again thankful to the community, friends and family for all the support and continued prayers to assist Don in his days ahead. More details will appear in the Chronicle in the com- ing week about how to buy a copy of the new print. ~---- ~ MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle Samuel Woodroffe, 4, left, laughs at his brother Will, 6, during the youth pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon at The Shed in Old Homosassa during the Homosassa River Fireworks Festival and Poker Run.

Associated Press KEY WEST En- durance swimmer Penny Palfrey muscled past the halfway mark Saturday as she pushed through the Florida Straits, enduring jellyfish stings but other- wise encountering perfect conditions in her attempt to become the first woman to swim unassisted more than 100 miles from Cuba to the Florida Keys. The British-born Aus- tralian was swimming steady and strong and re- ported no physical com- plaints, according to her support team. At about 4:30 p.m., roughly 34 hours into the swim, the 49-year-old grand- mother was 69 miles from her starting point at a ma- rina in the Cuban capital, according to her website's GPS tracking report. She was positioned about 38 miles southwest of Key We eviously, her personal best was 67 miles when she swam between Little Cay- man and Grand Cayman is- lands last year, according to Andrea Woodburn, part of her support team in the Keys. Palfrey reapplied sun- screen and grease to pre- vent chafing and said the water conditions had been excellent other than the ex- treme heat. She even spot- ted a few hammerhead sharks and dolphin pods. Crew members said she was barking orders at team members accompanying her on kayaks and a cata- maran as she kept up a tor- rid pace in a battle that tested the limits of human endurance. She is "physically and mentally strong," Wood- burn said, adding the bathwater-warm waters re- mained calm. "The condi- tions couldn't be better and she continues to progress to the Florida Keys." The 20-year veteran of distance swimming is no stranger to jellyfish stings, which forced her to abort two past swims in Hawaii. Palfrey set off from Ha- vana early Eriday. A mem- ber of her crew was tweeting to fans, while a webpage up- dated her location every 10 minutes or so based on data from a GPS device worn by the swimmer The GPS device showed she reached the halfway point near midday Friday, according to her website. The daunting effort has bee commonly reported a the GPS coordinates suggest it is more like 107 miles. Multiple challenges loomed as Palfrey endured a second day, including the prospect of physical and mental fatigue and fending off dehydration, hypother- mia and potentially dan- gerous marine life. At her current rate, it would take her a bit more than 56 hours to complete the swim, slightly above her initial estimates. Wood- burn believes ifshe contin- ues the pace, Palfrey could arrive Sunday morning. leased on own recognizance.

But really what it comes down to with these pills is, there is no way out. It's death or sobriety" sum Debbie Gardner went to clean her 26-year-old late son Brent's room after his death in a car crash in 2009 and tucked among his personal effects was a one-sentence note and a journal the young man kept in which he had chronicled his struggles with oxycodone and life in general. Gardner was fully aware of her son's eight-year yo-yo battle with addiction and ar- rests on drug-related charges, but the note and journal opened her eyes to the greater picture. She soon realized her son's angst and level of self-worth, his pre- disposition for addiction and the influences of others.

I don't know how he sur- vived that," she said. He was on the straight and narrow when he was driving over the speed limit and with- out fastened seatbelts Dec. 7, 2009. Brent and his girlfriend were traveling on County Road 581 when he was hit at the intersection of Arbor Point. The impact caused him to hit the passenger side win- dow of the vehicle. Both were airlifted to Tampa, but Gard- ner said her son died and the girlfriend survived. "When the autopsy report came out, the first thing I checked was whether he had drugs in his system, and he didn't. My heart was happy he was clean when he died, and I hope he has found peace because he didn't have that in his short life," Gard- ner said. These days Gardner said she carries around her son's driver's license and the note she found, which reads: "He who makes himself a beast, gets rid of the pain of being a man." "I think that says it all," Gardner said. aaa Nancy rattles off names of a handful of young contem- poraries of her children who relief, sedation, respiratory depression, cosi cton, apnladp 3 suppression.

"I would say about 10 have died so far this year," she said. "This is not right. People just get hooked on these pills and can never get off them," she said, shaking her head. H H H Nancy fully understands the vagaries of oxycodone - she was an addict for several years, but has been clean for nearly three years. "I just thank God everyday for keeping me around. I could easily have ended up dead like those other peo- ple," she said. Nancy said at her worst, she was taking up to six oxy- codone pills a day She said she never had ad- diction issues earlier in her life, but in her 40s she had a colon problem and that was when she was prescribed pain medication and every- thing mushroomed from there. Nancy said since she been clean, she has never been tempted to try it again espe- cially after the horrible ex- perience of trying to detox. "I am not saying they should ban this drug because there are people who really need it, but they should do something to control who gets it" ... Ron Payne is the classic ex- ample of person trying to manage pain. He still hurtS after all these years and now that he lives in Oregon, where medical marijuana is legal, he uses that drug to cope. About five years ago Payne's debilitating pangs of pain led him down the hatch to oxycodone use. His par- ents who live in Citrus County asked him to move close to them and address his problems with his back and diabetes. His pain doctors first prescribed Vicadin, then methadone and finally oxy- contin. Within a year, his dosage climbed to 30 mille- grams, three times daily. "It didn't really help me. If anything it made my pain problems worse," Payne said. He said at 48, he became impotent, could not sleep and could not urinate. "It was horrible and then there was the constipation," 0701 SUCRN PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of County Commissioners of Citrus County, Florida, will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. at the Board of County Commissioners' Meeting Room, Citrus County Courthouse, 110 North Apopka Avenue, Inverness, Florida, for the purpose of hearing public comment as to the assessment roll prepared for the 2012 Inverness Village Unit 4 Road Paving Special Assessment District Plan B.

Yitzhak Shamir, 96 HER ZLI YA, ISRAEL Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who clung throughout his life to the belief that Israel should hang on to territory and never trust an Arab regime, has died. He was 96. Israeli media said Shamir died Saturday at a nursing home in the town of Her- zliya, north of Tel Aviv. Shamir served as prime minister for seven years, from 1983-84 and 1986-92, leading his party to election victories twice, despite lack- ing much of the outward charisma that characterizes many modern politicians. Barely over 5 feet tall and built like a block of granite, Shamir projected an image of uncompromising solidity during the first intifada, or Palestinian uprising, in the West Bank and Gaza that de- manded an end to Israeli occupation. Politicians across thelIsraeli political spectrum mourned the former leader's death. -From wire reports T0 Pl800 YOUr 'Ill Me1110y 3 S aralynne `Y Schlumberger at 564-2917 sschlumberger@chronicleonline~cm I ga10'""1 Citrus COHnll HOW has g Single Stream Recycling It takes less work to do the right thing!

CrrRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE STATE/LOCAL SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 A7 MgICHAEL PELTIER The News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE A much-anticipated ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court sucked the air out of the room this week as all eyes turned to the nation's high court, which bucked odds- makers and rejected Florida's challenge to Pres- ident Barack Obama's ambi- tious health care overhaul. A 5-4 decision, which came the last day of its cur- rent term, ended weeks of prognostication, posturing and expectation over the sweeping decision that, for now at least, shifts the course of health care deliv- ery in the United States. Anticipating a different decision, Republican offi- cials rolled out the Florida and U.S. flags and set up a podium for an anticipated press event lauding the high court for striking down what has been called Obamacare, even by Obama supporters. GR TIN Continued from Page Al still hopes to interview three late-comers to the Dis- trict 5 commission race, plus District 1 incumbent Dennis Damato who had a conflict and couldn't make the first round of interviews. Connery said it wouldn't be fair to candidates to re- lease scores of the inter- views to the public because they do not represent the REC's entire vetting process. "It's up to them to sell themselves to the elec- torate," Connery said. "They GDRU Continued from Page Al pills can walk up to the counter at the operations center in Inverness and turn them in, no questions asked. Earlier this year, the Fed- eral Drug Enforcement Instead, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as- cended the steps of the Old Capitol to tell a bank of cam- eras and reporters of her extreme disappointment that Florida's lawsuit chal- lenging the federal govern- ment's ability to require citizens to carry health in- surance was defeated by the slimmest of margins. Bondi's lament was echoed throughout Republi- can ranks in Tallahassee and across the state as ana- lysts combed through the 193-page labyrinth of a rul- ing marked by shifting al- liances and the surprising and pivotal action of one of the court's more conserva- tive justices. "This is going to be devas- tating to our economy," Gov Rick Scott told reporters hours after the ruling. "Probably more impor- tantly, it is going to be dev- astating to patients. "If you look at every gov- ernment program in the world, they overpromise, are all acceptable candi- dates. Some better, some not as good." Kitchen received a 2.8 score just two-tenths off a perfect score. "From what I remember about my school days that's a pretty good score," he said. Some candidates said they don't recall receiving the scores from the committee. Connery said no one scored below a 1 and the av- erage score was 2.2. He said one candidate received a perfect 3, but he wouldn't say who. That would be commis- sion District 3 incumbent Joe Meek, who gave his Agency (DEA) issued are- port on interdiction efforts in Florida and found a sig- nificant difference in oxy- codone purchases from 2010 to 2011. In 2010, at the height of pain clinic front to peddle oxycodone, the DEA reported that 90 of the top 100 oxycodone-pur- chasing physicians in the they run out of money, they underpay providers and that rations care," Scott said. "On top of that, as bad as it is for patients, it's going to be just as bad for taxpay- ers. We're not going to be able to afford this." Critics of the Affordable Care Act took solace in at least one part of the ruling: Florida and other states would not be held hostage over federal Medicaid funds should they decide not to expand Medicaid cov- erage to include nearly all individuals under 133 per- cent of poverty, or about $30,000 for a family of four. Florida officials have long complained that the state can barely afford to pay for Medicaid now, and taking on new enrollees could bankrupt it, even if Wash- ington will pick up 90 per- cent of the cost. They then turned their at- tention to November, saying the battle over who pays for health care now shifts from the courts to the polls. Outfit ofthe week: Black robes Nearly all the news sur- rounding state government this week came out of some court or other. A federal judge in Talla- hassee rejected an effort to bar the state from resuming a voter purge that is already on hold, issuing a ruling that could severely undermine the U.S. Department ofJus- tice's lawsuit against an ini- tiative aimed at removing suspected non-citizens from the election rolls. At the same time, U.S. District Judge Robert Hin- kle said his ruling not to issue an injunction was driven in part by assurances from the state that it would not forward any more names to county elections supervisors based on a list of potentially ineligible vot- ers that even the state con- cedes is inaccurate. That list is drawn from driver's li- cense and voter-registration records. SMeanwhile in a differ- ent case involving elections law, the state and the oppo- nents of a suspended law dealing with third party voter registration are mov- ing toward a settlement over the new rules, both sides said this week. Circuit judges mean- while, wrangled over other issues including online travel and prison health pri- vatization efforts. The first case involves whether on- line travel companies should pay taxes on the en- tire cost of their service or just on the discounted rates they pay hotels. The other lawsuit is a dis- pute over prison health privatization. Cuba law barred, for now A Miami federal judge temporarily blocked en- forcement of a new law that would prevent the state and local governments from con- tracting with companies that have business links to Cuba. U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore said Ode- proud of that and I'm very appreciative of that." Meek's opponent, Shan- non Heathcock, said he scored higher than the aver- age in the Republican- principles category. He de- clined to reveal his total score or say whether it was above the 2.2 average. "If they're not releasing it, I'm not going to release it," Heathcock said. "It made me think about my candidacy. It was very useful to me." District 1 candidate Renee Christopher- McPheeters said she didn't receive her score. Christopher-McPheeters sent an email to the Repub- lican Party of Florida com- Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky, the DEA said in a release. However, the DEA re- mains concerned about a new trend a spike in new pharmacy applications in Florida. The DEA believes a lot of them are straw phar- macies being opened by pain clinic owners pushed out of business by the brecht Construction Inc., which filed a lawsuit early this month, had "demon- strated a substantial likeli- hood of success" that the law violates the federal constitution. SSTORY OF THE WEEK; U.S. Supreme Court upholds Affordable Care Act but says federal govern- ment can't withhold Medi- caid funds if states balk on additional coverage. QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the preroga- tive to make policy judg- ments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nations elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them.

"I never would have agreed to an interview if I knew they would be grad- ing," she said.

A law that bans state and local governments from hir- ing companies that do busi- ness in Cuba and Syria already has been chal- lenged in court, and a fed- eral judge has at least temporarily put it on hold. Gov Rick Scott's adminis- tration earlier announced it would not put into effect a second new law allowing random drug testing of state employees until a legal challenge to a similar exec- utive order issued by Scott is resolved. Another statute that per- mits inspirational messages, including prayers, in public schools has drawn threats of lawsuits. Legal action, how- ever, may not be necessary to negate the law because it gives local school boards the option of implementing it. "Nobody's going to do it," said Waynte Blanthon, e ec School Boards Association. "We are telling them it will becotly and not worth the Some of the other laws with July 1 effective dates would enlarge Scott's power over state rule making, re- store tax credits for renew- able energy and expand online learning for elemen- tary school students. There are also tax breaks for businesses and new laws that increase penalties for truman trafficking and vid o require student-athletes who suffer head injuries to be pulled from competition until cleared by doctors. The state's new $69.9 billion budget asao goes ition i - surance affect the state's personal injury protection - or PIP coverage. Since 1972, Florida motorists have been re quired to buy such coverage to make sure any- one injured in a crash gets money to treat their injuries without delay. A driver's in- surance company is re- quired to pay up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages no matter who is at fault. Bogus claims and faked accidents, though, are largely responsible for a $1.4 billion increase in PIP costs since 2008, state offi- cials say. The new law puts a 14-day limit on seeking treatment after a crash. Benefits also are capped at $2,500 unless a doctor, osteopathic physi- cian, dentist or a supervised physician's assistant or ad- vanced registered nurse practitioner determines there's an "emergency med- ical condition." Chiroprac- tors cannot make that determination. After the inspirational messages law was adopted, local school districts were warned by the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida that adopting poli- cies permitting student-led inspirational messages would "very likely lead to prolonged litigation." Any district that adopted the measure could be on the hook for hundreds of thou- sands in legal fees. Americans United for Separation of Church and State also is prepared to take legal action, said Alex Luchenitser, the group's as- sociate legal director. The law doesn't use the word "prayer" but it still invites government-controlled prayer, Luchenitser said. "I don't think it's going to happen," said the ACLU's Florida executive director, Howard Simon. "For all of the efforts of our Legisla- ture to try to entice school officials into joining their religious crusade, school of- ficials are smarter than legislators." The law's sponsors, though, remain confident it will be implemented. Rep. Charles Van Zant, a Key- stone Heights Republican who carried the bill in the House, said some school of- ficials have told him they'll push for allowing inspira- tional messages, but he de- clined to identify them. Sen. Gary Siplin, an Or- lando Democrat who is the law's prime sponsor, said he expects it to be an election issue for school board members. "I would assume they don't want to tell parents their children can't pray in school," Siplin said. The drug law is on hold after a Miami federal judge in April ruled in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and a public employee union that Scott's original drug testing Order violated the U.S. Con- stitution's ban on unreason- able government searches. The state has appealed that decision. The Cuba-Syria law is al- ready in court: Odebrecht Construction Inc., a Coral Gables-based subsidiary of a Brazilian engineering con- glomerate, challenged it in a Miami federal court. The lawsuit contends the Florida statute violates the U.S. Constitution, which gives the federal govern- ment, not individual states, power to set foreign policy. District Judge K. Michael Moore agreed, and on Mon- dy he iissuedsa tempord y brecht likely will prevail at trial. vOdeb echt basab eno i contracts totaling $3.9 bil- lion since 1990 while an- other subsidiary has been working on a project to ex- pand a Cuban port.

"Its eyes must have been larger than its stomach, because I've never seen a great blue heron eat anything it couldn't swallow whole," True said. "I saw it spear the carp, but the carp fell off its bill into the shallow water. The crane speared the carp once, but it eventually figured out that it wouldn't be able to swallow the fish. Therefore, it dropped the fish into the water and continued its search for breakfast." State B RI tlE F duced tuition increase.

A long line of teenagers has formed inside a cavernous convention center They're waiting to nab an autograph from Rebecca Black, the girl who achieved infamy with her nasally music video "Fri- day." It's the third annual VidCon, a gathering of on- line video creators, viral video stars and the people who click "like" on them. The circus atmosphere is the ultimate physical man- ifestation of activities usu- ally reserved for the privacy of one's lap or hand. The event outgrew its previous digs at a Los An- geles hotel and has moved south to a convention cen- ter in the land of Disney's Magic Kingdom. The event's organizers, John and Hank Green, known online as the Vlog- brothers, launched VidCon three years ago to unite video bloggers in space and time. This year's VidCon, which kicked off Thursday and continues through Sun- day, is sponsored by the likes of Disney Interactive Media Group, the online video stu- dios Maker and Revision3, and, of course, Google Inc.- owned YouTube. VidCon organizers said attendance at this year's sold-out event at the Ana- heim Convention Center is more than double last year's turnout. It attracted 6,000 mostly teenage atten- dees, many of whom were accompanied by their par- ents, compared to last year's 3,600 con-goers. The expanded offerings at this weekend's VidCon include more panels, an open-mic room for budding musicians and an expo floor with exhibitors show- ing off the latest in gadgets and software as attendees excitedly swap Twitter names, Facebook pages and YouTube channels. The lines are blurring between what's considered online video, and the enter- tainment industry is an- gling for more influence over the medium than ever before.

The greens are green, the yellows are yel- low, the reds are red. I've been told that when I wear v it, I look like a cross between a centerpiece at a terrifically ex- pensive wedding J and a Carmen Mi- M randa headpiece. M L I'm hoping that's meant as a compliment. Friends bought me the shirt as a present while they were on a two-week cruise through the Caribbean this past winter. Somehow, they thought reminding me they got to take an expensive va- cation and I didn't would cheer me up. Or maybe they just wanted to rub it in. Still, the shirt is truly a work of art, not one of those cheap knockoffs made in some un- heard-of Third World coun- try. It was made in Pakistan, about which we hear plenty. Much to Sue's embarrass- ment, I wear this shirt a lot. When I dress up, I throw a blue blazer over it. No tie necessary. Many times, I am the only person in the entire room wearing anything nearly so cheerful. That was certainly true at Shirley Maxwell's funeral. Sue complained the shirt was too casual. I had to ex- plain to her times have changed. Today, formal doesn't mean "black tie," it means "black T-shirt" (preferably one that doesn't have your favorite band's tour sched- ule on the back). And funer- als aren't somber events anymore. We've turned them into "celebrations of life." You're no longer sup- posed to look unhappy your spouse or your friends have died. You get up and tell funny stories about the de- ceased as if this were some big practical joke that everyone is in on except the guy in the coffin. How long before they get rid of the preacher altogether and hire comedians to plant us when our time comes? Late yesterday afternoon, I was wearing the gift shirt and a floppy straw hat while I helped Sue in the garden. Sue doesn't usually like me to help in the garden, as it often turns out I water the weeds and weed the plants, but she was desperate. I was watering what I thought were tomatoes when the first bee hit, right on the shoul- der: I'm not aller- gic to bee stings, but I am sensitive to them. A sting $ on the hand will II make my whole hand swell. I could feel my Shoulder starting LN to swell just as an- ,LNOther bee got me high on my right cheek. Maybe they were angry the flowers on my shirt held no pollen, or maybe the queen had sent them off to war, or maybe they just woke up on the wrong side of the hive. My eye was swollen shut, parts of my lips were puffed up to three times their nor- mal size, and my cheek was out to here. Fine, I thought I'll take some antihistamine and wait for the swelling to go down. It didn't help. The problem was, we had committed to dinner that night with friends at a popu- lar restaurant. It had taken weeks to organize our sched- ules, and after several failed attempts, not showing up would be unforgivable. "You should have told us!" Betty said after getting a look at my face. "We could have rescheduled. What happened?" "Ahbummeemungme," was how "A bee stung me" came out. Bill was also sympathetic. "I can't eat if I have to look at that all night," he said. "You've just spoiled my ap- petite. I need a Scotch a double." The swelling on my shoul- der made me walk funny. I looked like I should be ring- ing the bells at Notre Dame. "I motna smellin would gomand nah. Ivmad uneer brise weded," I said, point- ing to my face and trying to explain that I thought the swelling would go down by now and, hey, I just had a near brush with death.

There's something about disturbing the sanctuary of a cemetery. We're not talking about dinosaurs now and crea- tures that roamed the earth millions of years ago. We're talking about loved ones who have died, people we knew." Plot owners have no legal claim to mineral rights at a cemetery, Stephenson said. Their agreements are for an indefinite rental of sorts at the surface level -and a promise the site will be maintained, he said. The Ohio township was also wor- ried about not acting, Scharville said, out of fear the oil and gas could be claimed through mandatory pooling, and they would wind up with nothing. Under such laws, well operators can seek underground access to proper- ties without the owner's permission through a state review board. The inability to control mineral rights has also become a concern in Colorado, where the National Ceme- tery Association, which operates vet- erans' cemeteries, is working to select a site for a new cemetery. One of four prospective sites, in Fountain, could have been open to drilling because the mineral rights weren't free and clear, said Glenn Madderom, the agency's chief of ceme- tery development and improvement service. That presented a disincentive, even though its owners plan to donate the land at no cost to the government. The administration also success- fully fought to move drilling opera- tions to the other side of a forest abutting the veterans' cemetery in Natchez, Miss., to preserve the mood, he said. Such sites are all eventually listed on the National Register of His- toric Places. 0701 SUCRN PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Board of County Commissioners of Citrus County, Florida will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, July 24, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. at the Board of County Commissioners' Meeting Room, 110 North Apopka Avenue, Inverness, Florida for the purpose of adopting a non-ad valorem assessment roll for the 2011 North King's Cove Point Municipal Service Benefit Unit.

CrrRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE NATION SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 All Associated Press DENVER Drought and wildfire fears are snuffing out some Fourth of July fes- tivities this year. From Utah to Indiana, state and local governments are calling off annual fire- works displays out of fear that a stray rocket could ig- nite tinder-dry brush and trigger a wildfire. They're also warning residents not to use fireworks, sparklers or Roman candles in backiyards. The worry is especially acute in the West, where crews are already battling out-of-control blazes in sev- eral states. Parts of the Mid- west are affected, too, after weeks without any signifi- cant rain. "We usually have a fire- works barge and a huge gala that attracts thousands of people," said Bill Appleby of the Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, which represents the lake- side resort town about 90 miles northwest of Denver in the Rocky Mountains. The display is usually safe out on the water, but "we just can't risk an errant ember" It's not uncommon for communities to delay or cancel fireworks shows be- cause of drought conditions, but this year, the practice is more widespread. Last year, about a third of the country was in drought. Now nearly three-quarterS is, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map, a weekly analysis of dryness across the nation. The parched conditions have been aggravated by a dry, mild winter and above- normal temperatures. Fires have charred more than 1.8 million acres this year in the U.S., and much of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana have been under red-flag warnings for extreme fire danger In Colorado, where hun- dreds of homes have been destroyed by flames in the past month, firefighters have said they don't have the time or resources to stand watch over public events. At least nine public fireworks displays have been called off. Montana hasn't called for an end to big displays yet, but Gov Brian Schweitzer is Associated Press A lone shopper looks over displays filled with fireworks Saturday at the Olde Glory Fireworks store just north of Denver in unincorporated Adams County, Colo. Widespread drought combined with warranted fears of wildfires are snumfng out some Fourth of July festivities this year from Utah east to Indiana. "This emergency orde, hit me like a two-by-four' Forman said. Forman was going to de- liver the fireworks in Bunker Hill, Ind., which had scheduled a show Saturday night following a parade, a picnic and the local Little League championships. In- stead, Little League officials in the town of 900 about 60 miles north of Indianapolis canceled the show because of the fire risk. Carol Russell had been looking forward to taking her family to the fireworks show. Her kids three teens and a 9-year-old are growing up, and she said this might be the last year they thought the display was cool. "Tradition is a big deal for us. It's like a big bubble burst," Russell said. Some states are grappling with just how far they can go in issuing bans. New Mexico Gov Susana Martinez said she considers fireworks a risk that can be avoided, but state law allows cities and counties to ban only certain classifications of fireworks and where they can be used. More than half of the state's Dry conditions spark firework fearS From Utah to Indiana, states, counties and towns are calling off their annual festive fireworks out of fear that widespread drought has created tinder-dry conditions and could spark a fire. Experts say the widening drought was fueled by a dry, mild winter and above-normal temperatures. States have also clamped down on all kinds of outdoor fire hazards, including campfires, smoking and use of portable grills. Paul Forman, who owns Independence Fireworks and Forman Blasters Py- rotechnics in Peru, Ind., said he understands the safety concerns, but his business has been devas- tated. Four customers called off fireworks shows this week, and he antici- pated more cancellations before the holiday. He said his business had dropped from about 50 customers a day to a total of 11.

Leaders of the fireworks industry, which brought in nearly$1 billion in sales na- tionally in 2011, question whether firework bans are legal. Steve Graves, execu- tive director of the Indiana Fireworks Association, said people should be given credit for common sense. Indiana law allows fire- works from June 29 to July 9 regardless of whether local burn bans are in place. Some communities have de- clared drought disaster emergencies to enact bans in an attempt to get around the law. "Instead of talking about safety, they decided to treat Hoosiers like they're a bunch of idiots that can't think for themselves," Graves said. At the TNT Fireworks stand just outside Helena, Mont., some customers planned to heed the calls to keep their fireworks under wraps for July 4th, said stand co-owner Anna Richards. "Would I rather make money or would I rather see Montana burn?" Richards said. "There's more to life than these two weeks."

Officials have also can- celed displays or issued warnings restricting private fireworks in Arkansas, Illi- nois, Indiana, Kansas, Mis- souri, Utah and Wisconsin. "Nobody wants to not have fireworks," said Chris Magnuson of Albion, Ind., a town of about 2,300 that postponed its annual July 4 fireworks show to Labor Day weekend after county officials banned outdoor burning. "It's just not safe enough." The danger is real: Fire- works were blamed for more than 15,500 blazes and $36 million in property damage in 2010, according to the National Fire Protec- tion Association in Quincy, Mass. CITRUS MEMORIAL & VASCULAR CENTER Lg g @], " Pgag A 2 SUN DAY, JuULY 2012 CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE If Morsi succeeds, the Muslim Brotherhood will likely be embold- ened to press ahead with realizing the longtime goal of making Egypt an Islamic state. Otherwise the mil- itary which has been reluctant to giVe up the power it assumed after Hosni Mubarak's ouster will con- tinue its stranglehold on the country for years, maybe decades, to come. For Egypt's estimated 82 million people, the prospect of a continuing battle between the military and the Brotherhood, the country's largest political group, will only prolong the political instability that has rocked their nation since Mubarak's ouster last year. Egyptians have seen the initial euphoria following the revo- lution turn into a wave of pessimism amid a declining economy, rising crime and a seemingly endless wave of protests, strikes and sit-ins. The yearning for stability was ex- pressed by two prominent figures. Nobel Peace Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, Egypt's top democracy advocate, tweeted it was time to re- solve the thorny issues of the new constitution, the president's powers and legislation. "Now, the time for building has come, to achieve the revolution's goals," he said. Gamal Eid, a well-known rights lawyer and activist, saw in Morsi's inauguration the chance for some- one in power to be held account- able. "Now the ball is in the president's court after he became the first elected president of Egypt. v we can hold him accountable ter with or without authorities."

National Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Making steady progress Saturday against the most destructive wild- fire in Colorado history, crews kept a wary eye on weather that was getting warmer and drier as Na- tional Guard troops were deployed to help local police get things back to normal. "The weather is making progress in a bad direction. Hotter, drier, with a chance of thunderstorms in the af- ternoon. Winds will shift frOm one direction to an- other," said Incident Com- mander Rich Harvey The 26-square-mile Waldo Canyon fire was 45 percent contained by Saturday af- temnoon. It was one or many buumii g aros h et fast-growing blaze in Mon- tana that forced residents in several small communities to leave. About 1,200 personnel and six helicopters were fighting the Waldo Canyon fire, and authorities said they were confident they'd built good fire lines in many areas to stop flames from spreading. "Crews made progress all around the fire,'" said Har- vey, who was cautiously op- timistic. "The fire potential is still very, very high. It's extreme and explosive." Two bodies were found in the ruins of one house, one of almost 350 destroyed in this city 60 miles south of Denver The victims' names haven't been released. Po- lice Chief Pete Carey said Saturday afternoon the ap- proximately 10 people who had been unaccounted for had now been located. Police did not expect to discover other victims in the rubble. More than 150 National Guard soldiers and airmen helped Colorado Springs police staff roadblocks and patrol streets. Carey said Saturday the presence of military personnel will allow his department to re- sume normal police work in the rest of the city. About 10,000 people re- main evacuated, down from more than 30,000 at the fire's peak. The mood was light as evacuees filtered back into :on oundctedt n sghbdrh td level homes within an easy walk of the burned area. High school counselor Pat Allen and her husband, Vic Miller, were all smiles less than five minutes after re- turning to their tri-level home on a quiet cul-de-sac. "I'm just wanting to kiss the house, dance with the neighbors," Allen said. On Sunday, people whose homes were burned will be allowed to tour the affected areas. Authorities said some residences would be cor- doned off with police tape, and people would not be al- Slowed beyond that point.

Al Sharpton, who delivered the eulogy at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, said before the funeral that King never showed bitterness to the officers who beat him. The funeral came nearly two weeks after King was found dead at the bottom of the swimming pool at his Ri- alto, Calif., home on June 17. He was 47.

WOTH BRI EFS Rocker Associated Press A downed tree takes out two vehicles Saturday in Upper Deerfield, N.J. Violent storms swept across the east- ern U.S., killing at least nine people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands on a day that tempera- tures across the region are expected to reach triple digits. Officials said about 500,000 people were without power in West Virginia. Storms sweep eastern US Associated Press Violent evening storms following a day of triple-digit temperatures wiped out power to more than 2 million people across the eastern United States and caused two fa- talities in Virginia including a 90-year-old woman asleep in bed when a tree slammed into her home, a police spokeswoman said Saturday Widespread power outages were reported from Indiana to New Jer- sey, with the bulk of the service in- terruptions concentrated on Washington, D.C., and the sur- rounding areas. Earlier Friday, the nation's capital reached 104 de- grees topping a record of 101 set in 1934. More than 20 elderly residents at an apartment home in Indianapo- lis were displaced when the facil- ity lost power due to a downed tree. Most were bused to a Red Cross fa- cility to spend the night, and others who depend on oxygen assistance were given other accommodations, the fire department said. The storms, sometimes packing 70 mph winds, toppled three trac- tor trailers on Interstate 75 near Findlay, Ohio. Authorities have confirmed at least 13 deaths related to the storms, reported in Virginia, Mary- land, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, Kentucky and Ohio.

Associated Press ian government, hoping the concession would encour- age Russia to put greater pressure on its longtime ally to end the violent crackdown the opposition says has claimed more than 14,000 lives. But even with Russia's most explicit statement of support yet for a political transition in Syria, it is far from certain the plan will have any real effect in curb- ing the violence. A key phrase in the agreement re- quires that the transitional governing body "shall be formed on the basis of mu- tual consent," effectively giving the present govern- ment and the opposition veto power over each other. Syrian opposition figures immediately rejected any notion of sharing in a tran- sition with Assad, though the agreement also re- quires security force chiefs and services to have the confidence of the people. Assad's government had no immediate reaction, but he has repeatedly said his gov- ernment has a responsibil- ity to eliminate terrorists and will not accept any non-Syrian model of governance. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted on Saturday that Assad would still have to go, saying it is now "incumbent on Russia and China to show Assad the writing on the wall" and help force his departure." "There is a credible al- ternative to the Assad regime," she said. "What we have done here is to strip away the fiction that he and those with blood on their hands can stay in power." GENEVA An interna- tional conference on Satur- day accepted a U.N.-brokered peace plan that calls for the creation of a transitional government in Syria, but at Russia's in- sistence the compromise agreement left the door open to Syria's president being part of it.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE JOE KORNECKI Ill Special to the Chronicle he Green Swamp is 560,000 acres of history and wildlife. Four rivers orig- inate in the swamp: Hillsborough, Peace, Ocklawaha and Withlacoochee. These rivers provide valuable drinking water for Floridians. The swamp is located in five counties: Pasco, Sumter, Lake, Hernando and Polk. The earliest human settlement of the Green Swamp dates back to 6000 B.C. The swamp provided abundant game and valu- able resources for hunters and gatherers. Hernando DeSoto a Spanish Conquista- dor came through the area west of the swamp on his 1539-42 expedition through Florida, but avoided the mysterious vast- ness of the Grleen swa npl btteGen Swamp; they are descendants of the hogs brought to feed DeSoto's army. Some of the hogs escaped, adapted and spread through- out the forests of Florida and the South- eastern United States. Other fauna in the sw ps include alligators, bald eagles, wild The Second Seminole War (1835-42) was a textbook example of guerrilla warfare by the Seminoles against the United States. The Green Swamp provided refuge for the Seminoles and provided concealed "am- bush positions." The U.S. forces had to try many different tactics to defeat the Semi- noles because of the "swamp and jungle- like terrain" and the guerrilla-style warfare being waged against them throughout Cen- tral and South Florida. Logging operations in the early 20th cen- tury destroyed most of the centuries-old cy- press trees, but some remain, Hiking, canoeing, camping, fishing, bird watching, hunting, and horseback riding are popular activities that can be enjoyed. The 1,400-mile Florida Trail goes through the Green Swamp, and many miles of trails are available through other tracts of the sPr mitive campsites are situated along the Florida Trail and at Colt Creek State Park.

This is the very best view of the city of San Fran- cisco with most of the bridge in the pic- ture. It is beautiful beyond words, as you gaze at this amazing structure with the city stretching across the horizon in the background. For the next half of this viewing and photographic adventure, go back across the bridge into San Francisco on High- way 101. Stay the course on 101, which, after several miles, becomes Lombard Street, the most crooked street in the world. Looking straight ahead, before you start down the sidewinder turns of the famous Lombard Street, you can see Telegraph Hill and its landmark, Coit Tower, on the hill ahead. Lombard Street leads to Coit Tower, where you get another good look at the Golden Gate Bridge while the fog rolls in, if you are lucky. You will have witnessed a most spectacular view of one of the world's most beautiful structures, set in a unique and unrivaled setting. If you do this mini self-tour in the morning, the next thing you'll probably want is lunch. You couldn't be in a better location. Retrace your drive on Lom- bard Street to Columbus Street, where you have the option of turning left or right. Left on Columbus will take you into the heart of the North Beach area, where you will discover several blocks of restaurant choices. If you had turned right on Columbus, you are only blocks away from the famous Embarcadero - San Francisco's renowned wa- terfront, where there are abundant dining choices, as well as Ghirardelli Square and other landmarks.

She made sure that her mother was with her to witness the ques- tion and answer. My father suf- fered from de- mentia for several years, and it was no surprise that he agreed -..A that "Rhoda could have the ANN house. But his MAIL will was made out many years be- fore, and it left everything to be equally divided between his eight children. After my parents died, Rhoda put pressure on her mother to get the house. When I questioned Rhoda's actions, her mother de- fended her. When my brother said we were going to sell the house, Rhoda told us we could sell it only to her and at a greatly reduced price. My father intended to leave everything to his chil- dren, not his grandchildren. This has split our family apart, and I don't know if we ever will get over the hard feelings that Rhoda has caused. She feels no re- morse and still believes she should get the family home because Dad "promised" it to her: I say she gets nothing. More importantly, she never should have gone to my fa- ther on his deathbed to begin with. What o t do you say? - Split Families Dear Split: Rhoda sounds like a vulture. If your father had a s.legal will, the at- *torney (not the family members) should inform Rhoda that she is IE'S not entitled to .BOX the house or the proceeds from its sale. Of course, if the maj ority of your siblings choose to sell her the house, anyway, there's not much you can do. Your letter should serve as a reminder to our readers to put their wishes in writing while they are of sound mind and not leave the door open to mer- cenary relatives who try to take advantage.

In the majors, Crystal River met Central Citrus, and the clang of balls meeting bats was all that was heard from the field. Crystal River came out victori- ous against Central Citrus in the bottom of the fourth inning, tak- ing the win 11-1. "I think it was a great game played by everybody," Crystal River head coach Mike Lemar said. "Great pitching by Zach O'Callaghan and (from) Kyle Mitchell coming in and shutting (them) down (as the closer). Good fundamental baseball wins base- ball games, and that's what we teach." Despite both teams hitting well at the plate, Crystal River outhit Central Citrus 10-6. In the first inning, the game re- mained scoreless. In the top of the second, Zach O'Callaghan blasted a double for his first RBI and the first run of the game (O'Callaghan went 2-for-3 with 3 RBI's). Central Citrus did not answer the call in the bottom of the second as O'Callaghan (who pitched three innings with three strikeouts) struck out one batter in the inning before throwing the final out to first base after the ball blasted right to him. The third inning belonged to Crystal River as they dominated at the plate.

Brushing aside the team's is- sues, Cancellara said he was fo- cusing "on what I have to do - and that's riding my bike." He said the victory, which he dedicated to his pregnant wife, was doubly re- warding because he broke his col- larbone in the Tour of Flanders in April and wasn't sure he'd be at his best for the Tour prologue. Cancellara has now earned the leader's yellow jersey for 22 days in his career, equaling the marks of other Tour greats, including two-time winner Laurent Fignon of France, American triple cham- pion Greg Lemond and Dutchman Joop Zoetemelk. other Tour title favorite: Bradley Wiggins, aiming to become the first Briton to win the Tour, was 7 seconds behind in second. Cadel Evans embarked on his title defense in solid form, finishing 13th but importantly, 10 seconds back of Wiggins, who many see as the main threat to the Australian's hopes of a repeat. Cancellara is un- questionably the world's best time- trial rider, but isn't considered a Tour contender because he often struggles in the mountains. "What a great opening - again!" Cancellara said. "I did the most I could. It's not always easy. I always do the maximum ... It's a great feeling and this certainly takes some of the pressure off." The Tour start offered a wel- come return to racing three weeks and 2,168 miles criss- crossing France, nosing into Switzerland, and scaling climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees before the July 22 finish on Paris' Champs- Elysees. Two other individual time-trials await. RadioShack, built on the re- mains of teams that Armstrong led to a record seven Tour victories, has faced a rough patch. Its current leader, Andy Schleck, is staying home to nurse a spinal in- jury he sustained in a crash in the Criterium du Dauphine this month; team manager Johan Bruyneel - Armstrong's longtime mentor is staying away to avoid being a dis- traction to the team and the race over a U.S. anti-doping case target- ing him, Armstrong and four others. In a further embarrassment, En- rico Carpani, a spokesman for cy- cling governing body UCI, said it received information from several RadioShack riders they'd faced Associated Press Fabian Cancellara, wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, celebrates on the podium after winning the prologue of the Tour de France cycling race, an individual time trial over 4 miles with start and finish Saturday in Liege, Belgium. iar eH honn Brad Faxon Gil Morgan John Huston Craig Stadler HalelIrwin aee acco sen Chip Beck om Purtzer om Kite Bobby Wadkins Bob Tway Eur oo Rmero Jim Gallagher, Jr Ted Schulz Greg Norman Tmmyo ermour Ill David Peoples Dan Forsman Andy Bean clkSuttotn Bruce Fleisher Bob Gilder Andrew Magee Ben Creneshaw Mark McNulty Scott Simpson Wayne Levi Tony Jacklin D.A.

A few volunteers, tournament staff and club members tagged along after Woods, and provided about the only noise of the round. They watched him and Van Pelt get off to a quick start, and then match pars on the back nine to get close to the lead. "I told Tiger that was a Bo Van Pelt crowd, so I was used to that," Van Pelt said. "I was very comfortable with 10 or 15 people watching me play golf. No, it was just nice to get it in. I think we're all fortunate that nobody got hurt out here last night. It's a credit to the grounds staff that they got this golf course ready. I'm sure if you saw pic- tures of what it looked like at mid- night, the fact that we played golf today is a minor miracle." De Jonge was at ?-under 206 and will play in the final group with Van Pelt and Woods, who is going for his third win of the year. Woods won the AT&T National the last time it was at Congressional in 2009. Billy Hurley, the Navy veteran who grew up in the area, had a 66 and was two shots back, along with Mahan, who stumbled to a 73. Sunday might be a return to nor- mal, at least with the noise, especially with Woods in the final group. The final round will be threesomes going off both sides, giving the grounds crew even more time to clean up the course. For Saturday, it did well to put chainsaws to the toppled trees and col- lect the hundreds of branches scat- tered across the fairways and pile them up outside the ropes. LIO BRIEFS SRookie Felibert atop LPGA leaderboard ROGERS, Ark. Veronica Felibert shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday to stretch her lead to four strokes in the LPGA's NW Arkansas Classic. The rookie from Venezuela continued her surprising run at Pinnacle Country Club, where she made the field as the second alternate.

Miyazato had a 65, and Park shot 68. Brittany Lang had a 63, the best round of the week, to top the group at 6 under. Top-ranked Yani Tseng, the two-time defending champion and a three-time winner this year, followed her opening 73 with a 74 to miss her first cut in more than a year.

Daley had a S cond-round leader Er~ed Couples, the winner last year at Westchester Country Club in Harrison, N.Y, and Tom Lehman were a stroke back. Couples had a 70, and Lehman shot a 66. Lehman won the Re- giORS Traditions in his last start The tournament is the third of the five Champions Tour majors. Calcavecchia's bogey-free round matched the best of the day. After win- ning last week, he has progressively im- proved his score each day, opening with a 69 and shooting a 65 on Friday. Oeff Freeman Was 10 under after a 70, Fred Flink was another stroke back after a 64, and Bill Glasson was 8 under after a 68.

There were those 6 a.m. practice rounds at the British Open. Or the oc- CaSional PGA Tour event where fans were evacuated because of a thun- derstorm and hardly anyone returned at twilight when play resumed. There Surely was the odd junior event he played when he was 8. But teeing off in the late afternoon at the AT&T National, on a steamy but sun-filled day on a fabled course in a gOlf-mad area like Washington? WOOds had the largest crowd of the day, even though it never topped 100 people. Brendon de Jonge, who had a 2-under 69 to take a one-shot lead, had as many birdies (three) as people in his gallery on a strange, silent Sat- urday at Congressional. A violent wind storm overnight that toppled dozens of trees and littered the course with limbs forced tourna- ment officials to keep spectators and all but the essential volunteers away from Congressional for the third round. Considering the amount of de- bris, it was amazing they even played. "I've played in front of people like this," Woods said. "But not generally for an 18-hole competitive round." De Jonge was steady in the swelter- ing COnditions for a third straight round in the 60s, which gave his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. One shot behind were Woods (67), Bo Van Pelt (67) and S.Y. Noh (69). De Jonge, a South African going for his first PGA Tour win, made his final birdie on the 12th hole with a wedge Out of the rough that climbed over a ridge and settled about 12 feet behind the cup. It was worthy of applause, but there was only one person in the gallery to see it Kandi Mahan, the Wife of Hunter Mahan. Indeed, this was a day like few oth- eTS On the PGA Tour.

"It wasn't the newest car we got, but it runs," Ke- selowski said. The 28-year-old from Rochester Hills, Mich., picked up his seventh win in his five years on the cir- cuit. He won earlier this year at Bristol and Tal- ladega. Kasey Kahne rode a late Surge to second place, 4.399 seconds back of the winner.

Williams has been stalled at 13 Grand Slam titles since winning Wimbledon for the fourth time in 2010, and dealt with a series of health issues in 2010-11. Her next opponent will be Shvedova, who won all 24 points in the first set a so- called "golden set" and beat French Open runner- up Sara Errani 6-0, 6-4.

Associated Press WIMBLEDON, England - While watching Serena Williams come from behind at Wimbledon, older sister Venus sat in the front row stifling a yawn. Nothing to worry about. Venus was correct - barely. Serena hit a Wimble- don-record 23 aces, held every service game and es- caped an upset bid by Zheng Jie, winning 6-7 (5), 6-2, 9-7 in the third round Saturday. Williams, who erased all six break points she faced, served three times to stay in the match and held each time at love.

Ryan Lochte got started on a busy night at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials by winning the 200-meter backstroke Saturday night. Next up: another show- down with Michael Phelps. Lochte was sixth at the first turn, but the 27-year-old Floridian quickly moved to- ward the front and took the lead for good with a brilliant flip turn off the final wall. Pulling away, he won with a time of 1 minute, 54.54 sec- onds, second-fastest in the world this year behind Japan's Ryosuke Irie. Lochte was assured of four individual events in London. He finished second in the 200 individual medley Saturday as Phelps beat him to the wall. Tyler Clary took the sec- ond spot in 1:54.88, giving him two individual races at the Olympics. He has bounced back just fine from the disappointment of fin- ishing third behind Lochte and Phelps in the 400 IM. Rebecca Soni also locked up a second individual race in London, cruising to an easy win in the 200 breast- stroke. She was slow off the blocks and made the first turn in fourth place, but there was never any real doubt about this one. Soni surged to the lead on the second lap and steadily pulled away, winning with the fastest time in the world this year, 2:21.13. "I'm always a little nery- ous to push it too soon. I felt great the first 100, nice and long," said Soni, who'll be looking to defend her 200 title in London. "I know I've trained the hardest I can so if I can hopefully bring home a gold, that would be amazing. If I can get back to my best time, that would also be great.

The defending champions just hope Italy returns the favor Both teams go into Sun- day's final at the Olympic Stadium promising to maintain the tactics that have brought them here. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque promised an at- tacking lineup comprised of three forwards, which did little to clear up whether Spain will use its midfield-heavy attack or field a single striker He also brushed off crit- icism Spain's attack lacks the cutting edge it had dur- ing the team's Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup triumphs. "We have more of an ob- ligation to attack than to defend because we have players with capabilities to do so," Del Bosque said on Saturday. "Football moves forward and there has been a change of players in the team, but the nucleus remains the same. We're playing the same way we always have." Cesc Fabregas and Fer- nando Torres have shared the most of the responsibil- ity for Spain's attack. David Silva has looked fatigue and there is speculation he could make way for Pedro Rodriguez, who has been impressive in his two ap- pearances off the bench. Italy coach Cesare Pran- delli has meanwhile prom- ised to maintain Italy's current style, which has not only helped it to the final but has come as a sur- prise compared to its nor- mally defensive ways. "A team that has (An- drea) Pirlo, (Claudio) Marchisio and (Riccardo) Montolivo is a team that wants to play football, there's no doubt," Del Bosque said. "It's an open final because we've both followed parallel styles to get here. Our styles of play have been very similar, I don't see much of a difference." Italy has played with a certain flair normally at- tributed to Spain, which is vying to win a third straight major title. Spain and Italy played to a 1-1 draw in their Group C opener, when Italy was one of the few teams not to sit back and to strike on the counterattack. "We have to wait until to- morrow to see what the Italy coach does," Spain playmaker Xavi Hernan- dez said. "Italian football isn't what it was two years ago, now they want the ball. They've got a great team and they know how to compete." All the ingredients are there for a memorable final. "Italy has changed, they've got better as the tournament went on and they deserve to be in the final," Del Bosque said. "We can't think we'll face a defensive Italy because they have never showed that here. They come (into the final) playing a certain way and I imagine they will maintain it for this last game against us."

On Saturday night, he stood in the center of the arena, a U.S. Olympian.

If you put your mind to it, you should do extremely well in financial areas, whether you are working for another or are self-employed. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You're someone who must have purpose to your life. In order to feel gratified, get in- volved in meaningful objectives that make you feel you've done something worthwhile. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It's not surprising you need some variety in life at times, and it might be one of those days. If you find yourself bored, initiate doing something different with friends. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although it may be up to you to design the blueprint for finalizing a matter that meets everyone's desires, you'll have all the know-how to do so right at your fingertips. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Ideas and concepts that are Today's HOROSCOPE significant to you are also relevant to persons with whom you are involved, so consult each and every party before putting anything into action. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If your financial picture looks secure at this time, it's OK to go ahead and do something worthwhile that makes you happy. In fact, make it a priority. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Independence is always of utmost importance to you, so don't allow anybody to plan an agenda for you if you can help it. Do what you want when you want to do it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be party to events, but don't try to manipulate everything. You would be so much happier allowing matters to unfold as they will, letting things take their own course. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you've had a yen lately to touch base with two friends in particular, it would be nice if you could make this possible. Try to do what you can to arrange things. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) If someone throws down the gauntlet, you're not likely to ignore the challenge. Your competitive spirit is more easily aroused than usual today, and you'll take the bait. Aries (March 21-April 19) In order to satisfy both your mental and physical restlessness, some type of rigorous activity will be required. Do something fun, such as swim- ming or hitting the tennis court. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Although you rather enjoy being a loner at times, you might do yourself some good if you get involved in a few joint endeavors. Operate where you feel the most fulfilled. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Try to bring better balance into your life if you can, by taking stock of your recent af- fairs or activities, for example. If you've been working too hard, get out and have some fun.

Yet 40 sensible state senators actually dis- cussed it for about a half-hour Sex sets people off, especially. We had a legislator several years ago who propositioned an undercover cop in a public men's room. Not content with his misdemeanor fine, probation, humiliation, loss of political ca- reer, family damage and professional harm, thoughtful constituents clicked on the "com- ment" line of news stories to suggest the law- maker would really love it in prison because - well, you know. We don't really believe those cliches about "innocent until proven guilty" or "the worst criminal is entitled to the best defense," not when a sex offense is alleged, or a crime against a child. In Sandusky's case, we see both, The hallmarks of our legal system are its civility and lofty ideals. It channels our de- sire for revenge in constructive ways. It's good that Jerry Sandusky can never hurt another child. Perhaps his sentence will deter some pedophiles or cause others to get psychiatric help. But that's not what they were cheering about in Pennsylvania last week. Bill Cotterell is a retired reporter of the Florida Capitol press corps. He can be contacted at bcotterell~gmail. com. Good. But this is a tragic neces- sity, not a street festival. I may "un-friend" the next Facebook pal who voices hope that Sandusky will have done to him forcibly, in prison what he did to children. The same goes for many who write that he should be beaten on a regular basis, even killed, by fellow inmates. It's as if they're saying, "The Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment won't let us do what Sandusky deserves. Fortu- nately, we have plenty of civic-minded, coura- geous sadists and sociopaths in prison to deal with guys like him." on an emotional level, it feels good to pub- licly proclaim ourselves better than anyone convicted of the most vile crimes. But didn't a fair trial. Jay Leno routinely jokes about what hap- pens to men in prison. Would he seek yuks about a woman prisoner being assaulted, no matter how heinous her crime? Of course not, nor should he. One of the strangest Senate debates I ever covered in Tallahassee involved an amend- ment requiring killers to be executed in the manner shooting, stabbing, strangling - that they had killed their victims. Everyone knew it couldn't pass, that it fairly shrieked of unconstitutionality, but there was a long debate and many laudatory letters to the ed- itor afterward. The concept would be like telling a prison guard, "OK, we need you to go into his cell me know I am term-limited and therefore leaving the Florida Legislature, they seem un- sure of when, many believing that since session has ended my work is done. The truth is legislators serve until general election day, when their replace- ment is officially elected. So my 16 years officially end Tuesday, Nov. 6 - 132 days from now. But who's counting? Legislators generally Paula D spend time in Tallahas- see during November, FLOI December, January and VOI( February for weeks of ~ committee hearings, and again from March to May for the 60-day legisla- tive session. So what do the "part time" legis- lators do when they're out of Tallahassee? While it varies among the 120 House members and 40 senators, we all keep district offices with staff to help us serve constituents. We at- tend events, give speeches, conduct town hall meetings, make site visits, meet with people in our districts, research issues, draft legislation and try to solve problems dealing with state agencies, Since this year's session ended and the special session on the re- districting do-over ended, I've par- ticipated in a variety of activities. My calendar likely looks different from many of my colleagues due to my love of environmental issues, my upcoming retirement and the dif- ferences in our districts. Soon after returning to Polk County, I was in- vited to participate in the FWCC Youth fishing Tournament at Tenoroc, a state-owned property With excellent recre- -1 national opportunities for residents and visitors. -- Hundreds of young fish- )ockery ing enthusiasts turned South to compete, many of RIDA whom were just being CES introduced to casting a ~ rod and enjoying the great outdoors. During this and any other public event, I am asked to look into a va- riety of issues. On this occasion, it was the need to pump additional water to supplement the lake levels to support recreational fishing. The next event was a hike in the Lake Wales Forest. I was honored to have a trail named after me a decade ago by then-Agriculture Commissioner Bob Crawford for my work to expand conservation and recreation areas. On a beautiful Saturday morning, a few dozen en- thusiastic trekkers hiked eight miles of the Paula Dockery Trail. On this day, I was asked to look at changing policy to allow hammock- ing in state parks. My recent speaking engagements included giving the commencement speech at the last graduation cere- mony for the Lakeland campus of USF, which was bittersweet after 25 years of USF's presence in Polk County. That the students and fac- ulty requested me as their speaker was incredibly touching. Legislators can't possibly fulfill all the speaking requests we re- ceive, but I try to honor many of them. They are as varied as they are interesting, with everyone from the senior citizens at the Florida Pres- byterian Home, to the wonderful ladies at the Lakeland Republican Club, to the men and women who meet at the crack of dawn at the Cit- rus Center Kiwanis Club, to the di- verse evening crowd at the Dixieland Homeowners Associa- tion, to the intimate roundtable dis- cussion among politically active men and women of ABW, a profes- sional business group. To keep up with developments in the district and constituents doing great things to improve the quality of life and provide needed services, it's important to be out in the dis- trict listening and learning. Re- cently, I attended the Flag Day celebration at AMI Kids and dis- covered they had 30 days to close shop because their funding was being cut. This is a highly success- ful day program for troubled youths in danger of entering the juvenile justice system. The Polk legislative delegation will be working to try to keep the program going, as are Pasco legislators for their local program. Another recent event was a groundbreaking for a park-and-ride bus lot for Citrus Connection, Polk's mass transit system. Thanks to a grant, this transit hub with restroom facilities will be built near the en- trance to I-4 and will lead to express bus service to Tampa and Orlando. During the summer, many groups and associations present awards to legislators who were instrumental on issues of importance to their members. I was fortunate to be lauded by several wonderful groups. Student government at USF Tampa recognized Sen. Mike Fasano and me for listening to the students and working in their best interests when they felt powerless in the USF Polytech independence issue. This heartfelt thank-you was very special to me. The Florida Justice Association, representing lawyers with a focus on access to the courts, presented me with the President's Award. The Florida Wildlife Federation gave its Legislator of the Year awards to Sen. Dennis Jones and me. And the Florida Association of Counties honored me with the Doc Myers Lifetime County Advocate Award for my efforts to defend the concept of Home Rule. 3/Page C4 Se~f~nG- SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Fate of abusers Ballet slip per s for less prepared best not to be Sprepared.oei s s It was almost 20 years ago that we last went hik- ing on some major moun- tains. I went to a Rotary convention in the mid- 1990s in Calgary and we spent the next week hik- ing in the Canadian Rock- ies in really gorgeous places like Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise. In an effort to build my hiking confidence and overcome my fear of tum- bling down a mountain and breaking my neck, I had purchased an expen- sive pair of hiking boots. In te esuing'u oh nas, closet was when we were moving from one house to another. There are not a lot of mountain climbing oppor- tunities in Florida. This past week, I dug around on the bottom of the closet and pulled out the boots because we were headed to the Grand Canyon. Youngest son Jeff was getting married in Las Vegas and we planned to extend the event for a short break in the cool mountains of Arizona and Utah. As a former Boy Scout, I was proud that I was "pre- pared" for hiking around the mountains and could still find the boots. While I was still fearful of heights, my lucky boots would pro- vide me with safe equip- ment for experiencing the treacherous cliffs of the Grand Canyon. So that's how I found myself driving five hours out of Vegas to the glori- ous North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Less than 10 minutes after checking into the lodge, I had laced up the boots and we were off walking along a path that had steep drops to the canyon floor. Just one stumb::.:::d drain death I was so glad I had the proper footgear It was about one mile into the first hike that I began to feel a small "giddy-up" in my right leg. Since that long-ago trip to Calgary, Dr. Andy Petrella of Crystal River had done some work putting my knee back in shape, so I thought this might be a minor complication. Soon the "giddy-up" be- came a "flippety-flop" - and Iknew something was seriously going wrong. The hiking trails of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon are not the place where you want anything to go wrong. I sat down on a boulder and after a quick exami- nation found that the front sole of my right boot had developed a gap, and it was making a noise. The problem was not my knee, it was my boot. The glue holding the bottom of the boot to the top portion had given way. No big deal, I thought, I could handle a little adversity. I walked 20 more feet down the trail, and the boot sole was now making a much louder noise.

The physics of American politics actions pro- voking reactions continues to move the crucial debate, about the nature of the American regime, toward conser- vatism. Chief Justice John Roberts has served this cause. The health care leg- islation's expansion of the federal govern- ment's purview has im- I proved our civic health r by rekindling interest in what this expansion ~ threatens the G Framers' design for Geor limited government. OTH Conservatives, dis- VOI( taught about the sur- ~ vival of the individual mandate, are missing the considerable con- solation prize they won when the Supreme Court rejected a consti- tutional rationale for the mandate - Congress' rationale that was pregnant with rampant statism. The case challenged the court to fashion a judicially adminis- trable principle that limits Con- gress' power to act on the mere pretense of regulating interstate commerce. At least Roberts got the court to embrace emphatic language rejecting the Com- merce clause rationale for pe- nalizing the inactivity of not buying insurance: "The power to regulate com- merce presupposes the existence of commercial activity to be regu- lated. ... The individual mandate, however, does not regulate exist- ing commercial activity. It instead compels individuals to become active in commerce by purchas- ing a product, on the ground that their failure to do so affects inter- state commerce. Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Con- gress to regulate individuals pre- cisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to con- gressional authority. ... Allowing Congress to justify federal regula- tion by pointing to the effect of in- action on commerce would bring countless decisions an individual could potentially make within the scope of federal regulation, and - under the government's theory - empower Congress to make those decisions for him." If the mandate had been up- held under the Com- merce Clause, the court would have deci- sively construed this -'clause so permissively as to give Congress an essentially unlimited police power the power to mandate, proscribe and regulate behavior for whatever SWill Congress deems a pub- elic benefit. Instead, the IER court rejected the CES Obama administra- Stion's Commerce Clause doctrine. The court re- mains clearly committed to this previous holding: "Under our written Constitution... the limita- tion of congressional authority is not solely a matter of legislative grace." The court held that the man- date is constitutional only be- cause Congress could have identified its enforcement penalty as a tax. The court thereby guaranteed that the ar- gument ignited by the mandate will continue as the principal fault line in our polity. The mandate's opponents favor a federal government as James Madison fashioned it, one11imited by the constitutional enumera- tion of its powers. The mandate's supporters favor government as Woodrow Wilson construed it, with limits as elastic as liberal- ism's agenda, and powers acquir- ing derivative constitutionality by being necessary to, or efficient for, implementing government's ambitions. By persuading the court to re- ject a Commerce Clause rationale for president's signature act, the conservative legal insurgency against Obamacare has won a huge victory for the long haul. This victory will help revive a venerable tradition of America's political culture, that of viewing congressional actions with a skep- tical constitutional squint, search- ing for congruence with the Constitution's architecture of enumerated powers. By rejecting the Commerce Clause rationale, Thursday's decision reaffirmed the Constitution's foundational premise: Enumerated powers are necessarily limited because, as Chief Justice John Marshall said, "the enumeration presupposes something not enumerated." When Nancy Pelosi, asked where the Constitution author- ized the mandate, exclaimed "Are you serious? Are you serious?" she was utterly ingenuous. Peo- ple steeped in Congress' culture of unbridled power find it incom- prehensible that the Framers fashioned the Constitution as a bridle. Now, Thursday's episode in the continuing debate about the mandate will reverberate to conservatism's advantage. By sharpening many Americans' constitutional consciousness, the debate has resuscitated the salu- tary practice of asking what was, until the mid-1960s, the threshold question regarding legislation. It concerned what James Q. Wilson called the "legitimacy barrier": Is it proper for the federal govern- ment to do this? Conservatives can rekindle the public's interest in this barrier by building upon the victory Roberts gave them in positioning the court for stricter scrutiny of congressional actions under the Commerce Clause. Any democracy, even one with a written and revered constitution, ultimately rests on public opinion, which is shiftable sand. Conserva- tives understand the patience req- uisite for the politics of democracy - the politics of persuasion. Elec- tions matter most; only they can end Obamacare. But in Roberts' decision, conservatives can see the court has been persuaded to think more as they do about the constitutional language that has most enabled the promiscuous ex- pansion of government.

For us, Tropical Storm Debby was a water event, not a wind event. Flooding affected entire neighborhoods. Many streets and some major road- ways became impassable. Looking back, we can say Tropical Storm Debby was good news and bad news, and left us with some important reminders. The good news is the 12 inches or so of rain we re- ceived certainly helped recharge some of our water re- sources. However, the South- west Florida Water Management District this week declared that we are still under Phase III water shortage restrictions. Our emergency management group was quick to open sand- bag stations on the west side of the county. Law enforcement was quick to block off impassa- ble roads. Utility companies were prepared for problems and acted in a timely manner when they occurred. The bad news is we were lucky.

And the Justice Department is sup- posedly upholding the law. Which party is afraid to have only citizens vote? The Justice Department is controlled by the Democrats. It seems obvious to me that "something's rotten in the state of Denmark" or at least in Washington, D.C. It would ap- pear that the Chronicle could highlight voter fraud in this state and the need to purge the voter rolls in at least as aggressive a manner as spotlighting the prob- PTOtect environment To: Billy Brown, executive VP/general manager Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative I reject the false choice be- tween a healthy economy and a fihiteonu om ad other i s- tries require a healthy environ- ment.

Yikes! She received the document Even so, our story has an OK needed to renew her license by ending. mail several weeks ago. It required I went online, pulled up the DMJV nothing more than signing and re- home page, clicked on "renew by mail," filled in a half-dozen or so items, provided a credit card num- ber for payment, and whammo! A receipt was sent by email within minutes and less than a week later, with no further muss or fuss, Cheryl received her renewed license. That's the story, or at least part one, and I'm sticking to it! M H H Part two has nothing to do with bureaucratic inefficiency and I'm allowed to call it that, because for 10 years of my life, I was one of those presumed-to -be-inefficient bureaucrats. It isn't concerning too much paperwork or a slow response. It has to do with the humiliation that is heaped upon us by official photographs on government-is- sued documents. Driver's license pictures are the worst. At least with a passport you provide the photo and if it's something you can't live with, you can pay the photographer to redo it. Not so with the DMY It all happened very quickly, but, as I recall, the last time I had such a picture taken, I was asked to re- move my glasses and look straight ahead. I saw a flash of light and the next thing I knew, they handed to me a new driver's license with my father's picture on it or at least that's what I thought until I got home and took a close look in the mirror Of course, for me, most things do have a bright side, even driver's li- cense pictures. Being the helpful husband that I am, when Cheryl's renewed li- cense arrived in the mail, I volun- teered to switch the old with the new, then to cut up and dispose of the old. While doing this, I truly saw the only good very good - picture I've ever seen on a driver's license. It was so nice, in fact, I carefully trimmed it and placed it in the corner of a frame that sits on my desk. What can be gleaned from this experience? A number of things. Maybe Cheryl hasn't aged as harshly as I have; or, even if she has, maybe looking like her mother is a better fate than looking like my father; or, maybe, it is just impossi- ble for me to see anything but her beauty In any event, she didn't object to me displaying her old driver's li- cense photo where I'll likely be the only person to see it, but when I asked if I could post it with this col- umn as proof it's possible to have a good driver's license picture, she very sweetly, but ever so firmly replied, "No, absolutely not" She explained that while she ap- preciates my prejudicial view, oth- ers might see her differently. There you have it. That's part two, and since I know what's good for me, I'm leaving out the photo- graph and just sticking to the story! 1%~ed Brannen is an Inverness resident and a Chronicle columnist. nd ,v- ew nt- Ali rst rat nd rm es of he is- ns ry he to me an e- nd e's ;h- of lIf- an NJo ce lys he ed ;es e- n- its lip ps ;h- to re nd or 2 The devil they know DOUGLAS COHN AND O~rVIE ELEANOR CLIFT OhrV IE Special to the Chronicle and comfort to the rebels, separation of genders, at and the refugees are flee- how women must be co Amid reports of rebel ing across the border to ered in public.

Since the dawn of our nation, federal workers have played a significant role in America's achievements. The contributions of federal workers will be very much in evidence this week as Americans prepare to celebrate our nation's birthday. Millions of Americans will check a weather report prepared by the National Weather Service, grill meat inspected by the U.S. Department ofAgri- culture, travel on our federal highways governed by our Department of Trans- portation, and fly in skies kept safe by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration.

Victim Compensation is available in every state and though money is set aside only for this purpose, not enough people are aware of the help available to them. In Florida, crime victims have 28 pages of rights; yet, you so often hear "the crim- inals have all the rights." The difference is criminals have everyone from the SA to their attorney to other public entities telling them what their rights are and no one is willing to let the victims know where to get help and to find out what their rights are! I'd like to change that. Crimes covered are hit and run, do- mestic violence, DUI, assault, murder and more. Help is available for medical, dental, counseling, lost wages, out-of- pocket expenses, burial and more.

Every rock was a jab to my feet. Every boulder was a sting. Every sharp edge was the cut of a knife. The Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" had let me down. While I obviously did not tumble to my death in my ballet slippers, my feet hurt for days. And despite what my wife might tell you, it is not true that I crawled on my hands and knees along some of the more narrow passages along the North Rim. (Al- though my knees are pretty scraped up.)

To spend time with con- stituents who request a meeting, we schedule office days. In a typical office day, we might meet with individ- uals or groups on topics that range from education to waste management, from water to child protection services, from roads to pris- ons and every conceivable topic you can imagine. This is really the crux of being a representative, meeting with and listening to those you represent. Legislators have different relationships with the media. Some enjoy talking to the press and return phone calls, and some either don't get the calls or choose not to take them. I try to re- turn all media inquiries. Some days I receive a dozen and other days none, de- pending on the issues of the day. Oftentimes, TV crews will show up with little no- tice, wanting a quick sound- bite.

How could things pos- sibly get worse? That answer was simple. The same thing could and did happen to the left boot. After spending 20 years sleeping quietly in the air- conditioned closet of our Florida home, my expensive hiking boots quit after about one mile of walking. And what that left me with was the leather casing of the boots wrapped around my feet. I was basically hiking the rocky trails of the Grand Canyon in ballet slippers.

The legislation allowing for the name change focuses attention on the true purpose of the program: finding employment for Floridians, while also providing more than $500 million in tax relief to Florida businesses by reducing the unem- ployment tax for employers. These positive changes for Florida's econ- omy were two of Gov Rick Scott's top economic development goals and were achieved this past Leg- islative Session. "This transformation to Reem- ployment Assistance is one of my top priorities for economic devel- opment and job creation," said Scott. "In addition to more accu- rately reflecting this program's goal to get Floridians back to work, busi- nesses and employers statewide will also receive more than $500 million in tax relief." House Bill 7027, which passed during the 2012 Legislative Session and was signed by Governor Rick Scott on March 28, renames the Un- employment Compensation Pro- gram as the Reemployment Assistance Program, emphasizing the job search activities and reem- ployment services offered by Florida's workforce partners to job- less claimants receiving benefits. Florida is the first state in the na- tion to change Unemployment Com- pensation to Reemployment Assistance. Additionally: aChanging the name of the pro- gram does NOT change access to benefits provided by the state of Florida or the federal government. HClaimants will still be able to access benefits and file their claim the same way as they did previously, by going online at www.florida- jobs.org, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. SThe legislation does not further extend benefit eligibility. Bruce Williams SMART MONEY /i/Page D3 Associated Press Lawrence Speidell, chief investment officer for Frontier Market Asset Managment, poses for a picture April 2 near his offces in La Jolla, Calif. Looking to spread their bets in case of another market drop, investors are buying oddball assets and heading to risky corners of the globe. Seeking elus~ive 'alpha, BERNARD CONDON AP Business Wr-iter NEW YORK You can leap off a moun- tainside in extreme skiing, kick and claw to near death in extreme fighting and twist yourself into a pretzel in extreme yoga. Why not turn investing into an adventure sport? Professional money managers are scouring the world for oddball assets, desperate to find anything that moves to its own beat rather than rising and falling with everything else in the financial markets. They are putting money into racehorses, stakes in lawsuits, old coins, even the copy- rights to old pop songs. One fund manager bought stock in a beer company called Bralirwa in Rwanda, where tribal rivalry led to a genocide that left 800,000 people dead in 1994. "Rwanda triggers a lot of bad memories, so people don't even think of investing there, but there's huge opportunity," says Lawrence Speidell of Frontier Market Select Fund, investors scoukr the globe to beat the stock indexes which also owns stock in an Iraqi soft drink bottler and a Palestinian telephone company. Bralirwa stock has risen 150 percent since Speidell bought it early last year. But the real appeal is that it did so in a steady, calm way, disregarding events that have made the rest of the world's stock markets bumpy and frightening, like the Japanese tsunami and European debt troubles. And Bralirwa keeps bucking the headlines. Last month, while stocks in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America fell because of fear that Greece would leave the euro and Spain needed a bailout, Bralirwa rose 6.5 percent. Even Apple, a stock known to shrug off scary head- lines itself, got swept along in the downdraft. In trading jargon, the Rwandan company and some of Speidell's other exotic holdings are "uncorrelated." They have a tendency to move to their own rhythm, a sort of Holy Grail in investing. Discover enough of these assets and a money manager might claim to have achieved "alpha," an ability to beat the Stan- dard & Poor's 500 or other indexes without taking on more risk. Convincing investors of the claim is an- other matter. For years, ordinary investors trusted their fund managers, paying them tens of billions of dollars in annual fees. But they've grown skeptical. They've pulled more than $400 billion from U.S. stock mutual funds since 2008. Not only did the managers fail to protect against losses in the financial crisis that year, but too much of what they've bought since seems to ride up and down with the stock indexes. Not lawsuits, though. In exchange for a cut of the winnings, funds have sprung up to help pay for suits brought by wives in divorce court, by 9/11 cleanup crews against New York City for health problems and, in one case, by two foreign businessmen in a two- decade dispute with the republic of Georgia for reneging on a gas-pipeline deal. See EXREMIE/Page D3 nonprofit organi- zation (NP) is much like starting a for- profit company. Common to both corporate ven- tures is identification of a market or audience where an unfulfilled need exists. In the case of an NP this first step requires market research of the community in which this oftentimes serve the unmet need more effi- ciently In any case, the first two steps represent re- search necessary to go forward.

If you are to entice the appropriate people to your board, protecting them with the cor- porate veil is crucial.

They detail the rules, regulations and op- erational processes of the NE The last piece of paperwork im- portant to the new NP is requesting a tax exemption from IRS. This is particularly important for future funding and efficient use of avail- able funds. If IRS grants the ex- emption, a letter will follow confirming the exemption. This document must be kept in a perma- nent file. After all of the above has been completed, there will be annual governmental filings.

The next step to ask is, will there ne any other NPs in the community offering the same or similar services? If duplication or overlapping of service is present, the new NP may not survive. It may experience lim- ited success due to competition. There is a potential solution to avoid this dilemma. If partnering of two NPs will lessen the battle for funding/donations or eliminate service replication, both might sur- vive through a cooperative en- deavor.

DEAR BRUCE: We de- cided to go on a lengthy vacation, which we paid for entirely, and we took out trip insurance. The day the tour began, my husband got very sick and we could not go. Now the insurance company is saying it won't return our money. I thought that was the rea- son for getting travel in- surance. Reader, via DEAR READER: With- out seeing the policy that ered in your policy. If you bought this trip insurance through a tour operator or a travel agent, those are the folks who should be in your corner, showing you how to make and process a claim. In the absence of any cooperation from them, you might call upon the commissioner of insur- ance in your state to inter- cede on your behalf.

Florida has thousands of job openings in the state on the Employ Florida Market- place where reemployment alleged prowess, managers charge you $2 for every $100 invested each year, and take a fifth of annual profits, if there are any. There weren't many last year. The average hedge fund lost more than 5 per- cent, according to fund tracker Hedge Fund Re- search. Curiously, the dis- mal showing hasn't slowed demand for the funds. They now number nearly 7,600, back almost to their peak at the start of 2008. During the meltdown that year, one scholar of invest- ing, a former editor of the Financial Analysts Journal, dared to state the obvious in a short article with a block- buster title: "The Uncorre- lated Return Myth." It's not clear things have improved much. Exotic fare like rare coins and fine wine funds have mostly risen in recent years, but so have stocks, making you wonder whether they'll fall together, too. Avarae Global, a rare-coin fund that lost half its value in 2008, is up 27.7 percent in two years, a near carbon copy of the 26.7 percent rise for the S&P 500. The Vin- tage Wine Fund appears to bemtvgo git known loe, good. It dropped 22 percent last year. Better to stick with the song "Guantanamera," which has managed to buck even the worst of times. "2008 was actually our best year," says Brett Heller- man, CEO of Wood Creek Capital Management, a hedge fund that owns the copyright to 30,000 songs, in- cluding the Cuban standard, and claims double-digit an- nual returns. When someone down- loads "Guantanamera," Wood Creek pockets as much as 9.1 cents. Not adventurous enough? You can always bet on Mad- off money. Some hedge funds are paying victims of the Ponzi scheme pennies on the dollar for their offi- cial claims on a hunch they will bring big profits later when the bankruptcy court divvies up recovered money. Or you can play the ponies. A firm registered in Malta is trying to drum up interest in a new fund, called Resco Thoroughbred, that would race them for prize money and sell them.

Since its October low, the PowerShares Dynamic Fi- nancial Sector ETF, which holds stocks of U.S. banks and investment firms, is up 25 percent.

When stock prices were falling, it was often because commodity prices were ris- ing. Buying commodities at the right time handed in- vestors big profits. But in a United Nations rmipsr i Markch, two econ - prices over 16 years found they increasingly move up and down with U.S. stocks instead of in opposite direc tions as in the past. In May, the S&P 500 fell 6 percent and commodities lost 9 percent. For the lockstep moves, blame the so-called wisdom of the crowd. No sooner does an investor discover a far-off place or obscure asset moving to its own rhythm, than ever one else seems to show up with fist- fuls of dollars. The U.N. report on com- modities, for instance, notes that investors, including many betting with 401(k) plans, had $450 billion in commodity funds last year, up from less than $10 billion in 2000. That makes prices more likely to gyrate up and down with greed and fear surging across the globe in reaction to news, the same as stocks. If you're rich enough, you can always turn to the folks who claim to have more alpha than anyone else, the managers of hedge funds. The appeal of these exclu- sive investing vehicles is that they can bet markets will fall as well as rise, and often use borrowed money to do so, which provides leverage.

As of July 1, the DBPR will have the ability to waive initial licensure fees for military veter- ans under a new law that passed during the 2012 Leg- islative session. The waivers could save veterans anywhere from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars, depending on the license type. "W~e want to encourage veter- ans who may be thinking about starting a business or getting a professional license in Florida to apply for this waiver," said Sec- retary Ken Lawson. "This is our way of saying 'thank you' to the veterans who have already sac- rificed so much to protect and defend our nation. Through HB 517, the initial li- cense fee, initial application fee and initial unlicensed activity fee will be waived for veterans re- turning from service, provided the veteran applies for licensure within 24 months of being hon- orably discharged.

And, he adds, "It doesn't matter what happens in Greece." It can prove just as risky. In lawsuit investing, a fund gets something akin to a share of one side of the dis- pute. If that side loses in court, the investors are out their money. If that side wins, the investors get their money back with profit. Sometimes big profit. In one celebrated case, Bur- ford Group, a lawsuit lender, contributed $4 mil- lion in November 2010 to help Indians from the Ecuadorean rain forest pay for a pollution suit against Chevron. A few months later, an Ecuadorean judge ordered the oil company to pay $18 billion. Chevron appealed and lost, but is suing lawyers and consultants from the Other side for fraud. Bur- ford appeared in position to rtecrtc ud hv tisf it ha - n't traded much of its stake in the outcome to an undis- closed firm. Yes, you can trade lawsuit stakes like stocks. For years, professional in- vestors in pursuit of alpha poured money into develop- ing countries, stocks of small companies, commodi- ties and funds buying pricey art or wine. Success has been rare, which has only driven the pros to venture deeper, farther Once upon a time, putting money into Brazilian, Rus- sian, Indian and Chinese stocks was considered the kind of extreme investing that could protect investors. Even if U.S. stocks fell, the so-called BRIC markets would rise as the middle classes of these countries grew. Or so the thinking went. Then came the U.S. finan- cial crisis, and investors dis- covered foreign markets had too many trade and fi- nancial ties with the U.S. to offer much help. In fact, they can make things worse. U.S. stocks fell 37 percent in 2008, but each of the BRICs fell more. Since then, those markets have broken the link with the U.S. Only occasionally, though not always in a good way.

"Pong," one of the world's first video games, was born there, as was "Centipede," a classic from the era of quarter- guzzling arcade machines. "Call of Duty" creator Activision was started by four of Atari's former game developers. The iconic video game company turns 40 years old this week, much slimmer these days as it tries to stay relevant in the age of "Angry Birds" and "Words With Friends." But Atari's influence on today's video games is pervasive. Although it wasn't the first com- pany to make video games, Atari was the first to make a lasting im- pression on an entire generation. At arcades or at video game bars such as Barcade in the trendy Williamsburg section of Brooklyn - nostalgic patrons still gather around such Atari classics as "As- teroids," "Joust" and "Centipede." The Atari 2600, launched in 1977, was the first video game con- sole in millions of homes, long be- fore the Nintendo Entertainment System (1985), Sony's PlayStation (1994) and Microsoft's Xbox (2001). Today's younger iPhone gamers might not remember how "Pong," that simple, two-dimensional riff on Ping-Pong, swept across living rooms and arcades in the 1970s. But they might recognize ele- ments of it in easy-to-learn, hard- to-master games based on simple physics among them, "Angry Birds. "For tens of millions of Gen X- ers, or kids who grew up in Amer- ica in the '70s and '80s, Atari is a cultural icon, an intrinsic part of childhood," says Scott Steinberg, tech analyst and author of "The Modern Parent's Guide to Kids and Video Games." "Pong,") he adds, was in some ways the very first social video game, one designed to play in bars, at home or at an arcade, while spectators crowded around to watch the action. Launched in 1972 from Atari's Silicon Valley headquarters, "Pong" featured a basic black-and- white screen (that's black and white only, no shades of gray here), divided by a dotted line. Short white lines on either side stood in for paddles. Two players controlled them and tried to get a moving dot- the ball -past their opponent. With "Pong," Atari introduced video games to the masses just as Apple and Microsoft ushered in the personal computer era by bringing computers to people's desktops in the 1980s. "It makes me think that I am getting really old," says Nolan Bushnell, the co-founder of Atari. "I'm 69, which means I was 29 when I founded Atari. It seems re- ally young in retrospect." swI-, LOOKlig I-OrA SWM, down to earth Gentlemen 55-62. To share a laugh, movie or dinner. I also enjoy the beach or a bicycle ride.

"It may rise again, but it re- mains to be seen whether Atari's place is among retail giants (such as) Activision and Electronic Arts," Steinberg says, "Or in a fu- ture that is defined by its own past." Activision, which now makes such hit games as "Call of Duty" and "Diablo III," was founded in 1979 by four disgruntled Atari game designers who wanted more recognition for their work. As Activision's future rose, Atari's faltered. Having cemented video games as a form of mass en- . tertainment, Atari was sold to - 7'Y~ IB Warner Communications Inc. in 1976 and began to pile up big losses, Warner, now part of Time Warner Inc., discontinued the Atari 2600 and fired Bushnell, says Stephen Jacobs, professor of in- teractive games and media at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y. Meanwhile, several companies tried to capitalize on Atari's suc- cess, but flooded the market with terrible products. It was a gold rush, with little gold to be had. 'L~ Atari contributed to that decline in quality with "E.T. the Extra-Ter- restrial," still considered one of the worst video games ever made I and that's being generous. la "They tried to push something Associated Press Out in six weeks," Jacobs says.

Mark Zuckerberg was just 19 when he started Facebook in his Harvard dorm room. But back in the early '70s, Bushnell said, "no one in their 20s started companies. In some ways it paved the way for Apple, Microsoft and those guys." Bushnell said Atari succeeded early on because it nurtured ideas from its engineers and computer programmers. "We dominated not because of our manufacturing and marketing prowess but because of creativity," Bushnell says. "The lasting legacy: That creativity is a real weapon. And in some ways Apple has shown that as well." Jobs was just 19 when Atari hired him as a technician, making $5 an hour. He worked the night shift because many of his co-work- ers didn't get along with him and didn't appreciate his refusal to wear deodorant, according to Wal- ter Isaacson's recent biography of the late Apple chief executive. He wasn't there for long he left the company in 1974 to travel to India and co-founded Apple two years later, in 1976. Dona Bailey, one of the creators of "Centipede," recalls a notebook All Types.

The year was 1980. She had no clue about video games. A friend heard her say that she liked the song, and he got really excited. He told her there was a "Space Invaders" game at a bar nearby. They went to lunch so she could see what that song was about. "He gave me a quarter and I lost all my lives be- fore I could even figure out what I was supposed do on the screen," she says. "But I got really intrigued." That's how she came to join Atari, the company that cemented the video game industry in the 1970s and early 1980s with "Pong," and thanks in part to Bai- ley, "Centipede." Though she stayed only two years, Bailey left her mark as one of the rare female pro- grammers at Atari. The idea of the game ap- pealed to Bailey, so she began work on the "Cen- tipede" project. She was the software engineer on the four-person team. There were no books, no tu- torials, "no place to go when you needed help," she says. "Centipede" came out in 1981. To play, you popped in a quarter and used the ar- cade's joystick to move your character at the bottom of the screen. You shoot the centipede as it winds its way down the screen, along with the occasional spider. "I always thought it was really beautiful, like a shim- mering jewel when you walked into the arcade " Bailey says. Bailey worked on one other game after "Cen- tipede," but it never came out. Because processors were so limited at the time, she couldn't make the game look and do all the things she wanted. She left Atari soon after that, at 26. Today, Bailey teaches rhetoric and writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Also a tree properly placed provides a shade benefit equivalent to a four- ton air conditioner and the aesthetic value is priceless. Before you remove a tree, think about the whole picture.

Making pools safe for animals synonymous with summer fun, and with the "dog days" of sum- mer upon us, pools provide a welcome relief. We all know that tak- ing precautions is essential when it comes to children around pools, but we often overlook the fact that pools can be deadly for pets and wildlife. Animals from squirrels to lizards to frogs and snakes, fledgling birds, s and even our favorite pets Joan Br - can find themselves in a FO pool with no way to escape. Even if your pet is no FI stranger to being in the LIV pool, getting out of a pool is not always easy for animals even if they have been shown where the pool's stairs are located. Unfortu- nately, tens of thousands of pets and other animals drown in backyard swimming pools every year in the U.S. alone. Animal pool drownings are tragic, because they are preventable. A few simple pool precautions can help dramatically lower the danger to animals: SWhen building a pool, design lounge ledges along the sides just below the water's surface, providing shallow areas from which animals can easily escape. HBuild a fence around the pool. SInstall one or more water-exit devices or small ramps to assist animalsin climbing out of the pool. Place these buoyant devices Sin the water along the pool's edge to allow animals to get out on their own. SPlace knotted nylon ropes along the sides, secur- adshaw ing them to the pool edge. IIDA- Make sure the kinot is at the UGYwater's surface, so the ani- NDLY mal can more easily climb ING out. (This technique only works for climbing animals such as raccoons, mice, and squirrels). If a critter decides to take a dip in your pool before you have had the chance to install a ramp, log, or rope, try one of these rescue techniques: SBirds, frogs, snakes and other small animals: Scoop them out with a net or pool skimmer.If you don't have a skimmer handy, try the bristled end of a broom to lift them up and out of the pool. SLarger animals: Use a chaise lounge or a partially deflated float as a makeshift ramp. Anchor the ramp on the pool steps with a weight such as a cinderblock or tie it to the ladder rail. SFor any animal: Always use cau- tion to avoid being bitten. If you find that wild guests frequent your pool, you may want to consider building them a "spa" of their own. A wildlife pond will provide food, water, or shelter for a wide variety of wild neighbors, and it will bring you hours of viewing pleasure. This can be especially helpful to wildlife in areas with limited water -it will keep them from trying to drink water from your pool, which is full of chemicals that aren't healthy.

The movement is stamped "Chelsea Clock Co. . Boston USA." Though it is impossible to make out from the photo, the move- ment has an exposed es- capement but I do not see any signs of a pendulum anywhere. I am an amateur clock John Sik collector and all my other SlKOR! clocks have pendulums, but AT as this does not, perhaps it operates more on a watch type movement? There is only one key- hole on the face, so obviously it has no chime. I also sent a few close-ups of the design elements of the clock for your re- view. The Wedgwood Jasper ware finial on top is not actually attached, so I tend to doubt it is even original to the clock, but it does look nice. It is stamped with the Wedgwood mark. I did some Internet research on E.E Caldwell and found that he was prima- rily a lighting designer in New York City in the early 20th century. I also under- stand that the lighting in Radio City Music Hall is attributed to him. I also found links to archived company records PRwith photographs at the Smith- .sonian Institution. On their site I found many examples of his -flighting fixtures, clocks, cande- labra and such, but no example of this specific clock. I also orski learned that he was commis- SKl'S sioned to design lighting for Many of the "Gilded Age" homes in and around New SYork City. My dear friend that gave me the clock twenty years ago, whose father was a "big shot" with Gimbel's in the 1920s, said it was from the Astor estate, but I don't have to tell you how stories get em- bellished over the years. That is about all I know I hope this is enough info for you to work with. PG., Homosassa Dear EG.: The style of your clock is Louis XVI Neo-Classical taken from late-18th century France. The decora- tive metalwork appears to be either brass or bronze. Chelsea clocks are a category of specific collector interest. The company is recognized worldwide for their high-quality clocks that are ea- gerly sought after by collectors. I sus- pect your good-looking Chelsea Clock was made after World War I. Current potential dollar value is in the $1,000 range, perhaps more on a lucky day. Dear John: The attached photo shows a 9-inch tall pitcher and a 4-inch tall glass. I have three glasses. I have been told they are crystal. They were wed- ding presents to my grandparents, who were married in 1913 in Tampa. There are no markings indicating manufac- turer or origin. Any information you can give me on origin and estimated value See ATTIC/Page E5 RIGHT: This clock, attributed to de- signer E.F. Caldwell, was produced by the Chelsea Clock Company. The firm's products are highly sought after by clock collectors Special to the Chronicle I Chelsea clock apparently the work of noted designer duce works of art.

Dear John: I have several signed and numbered prints by Robert Bate- man. There are two winter scenes with animals and two boating pictures.

It is too bad you do not have the other glasses. Potential dollar value for the pitcher is below $50, and the matching drinking glasses below $10 each. You might be able to find more of the drinking glasses at Sparkle Plenty Glass. Their website is www.spglass.com. Dear John: In 1906, Roscoe Troxler won the Kentucky Derby. His trophy was a wooden box that had his name engraved in a small brass plate that was below an inlay of his horse's head. This box is well built, but some of the varnish finish has been worn off because of all the years of handling. a BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS 9 3.. /2/2 pool home in Connell Lake Estates.

At sum- mer ballgames and community events, we catch sight of billowing flags and take in the hum of the na- tional anthem. At the height of summer, many of us look for ways to bring a bit of patriotic style or military flair into our homes. But how do you add a dash of Americana into your decor without giving your home the feel of a bed- and-breakfast in colonial Williamsburg? Interior designer Mallory Mathison says ramping up your in-house display of pa- triotism can be done in a chic, 21st-century way. "IYou can use that red, white and blue palette in ways that feel fresh and clean," she says. "And it's not the obvious, patriotic, Uncle Sam sort of thing." But do tread carefully, says designer Lee Kleinhel- ter, owner of the Atlanta de- sign store Pieces. "You can easily overdo it," she says. So as you make decorating choices, "ask yourself whether it's something you can easily live with every day." Flying the flag "Red, white and blue is classic," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the design blog decordemon.com. But it's important to choose the right shades and patterns. "To add touches ofAmeri- can style to my spaces, I often turn to textiles, partic- ularly nautical prints, or even Ralph Lauren plaids reminiscent of Hamptons- style homes or the preppy Ivy League styles of the Northeast," Flynn says. "In a master bedroom for a bachelor, I used Navy blue as the room's base color, then added contrast with red, white and blue nautical pillows." Mathison loves doing rooms in blue and white, then bringing in just one dash of red through an ac- cessory, lamp or even a vase of red flowers. Or she'll add cotton rugs in shades of red, white and blue over a hard- wood floor: -' ' See PATFRIO3TIC/Page E10 d 000BOSH GIT TA BAR TH A REALTO R@ Investors Realty '352) 220-0466 of Citrus County, Inc.
