State takes a hike on sidewalk plan

new sidewalks on State

Officials have listened.


Or, at least, they listened to
Citrus County Administra-

The state abruptly
stopped construction of a
new sidewalk on the south
side of the roadway along

Forest at Thorpe's request.


Instead, the county plans
to seek a state grant for a

that could include trail

Citrus County residents
have complained regularly
since the state Department


of Transportation began its

between Stokes Flea Mar-

The $9.5 million project
included building side-
walks on both sides of the

Many residents thought it

MAI IlIEW BEi K/Chronicle
Citrus County Sheriff's Office SWAT team members break down a door of a home in May 2012, where the occupants
were suspected of producing and selling methamphetamine.


Tools of the trade:

BUSTER THOMPSON
Chronicle Intern
Many viewers have watched tele-
vision accounts of helicopters hov-
ering above suspects fleeing a crime
scene, dodging police cars and in-
nocent bystanders as they speed
away
But local police have additional
tools of the trade to not only capture
bad people but also send them to
jail.
A crime scene can be a setting of
clues and danger, respected by
every law enforcer who comes
across it.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office
is no different when approaching
these locations, abundant with
pieces of the criminal puzzle.
In order to collect each available
clue that could lead deputies to the
suspect, the CCSO utilizes very in-
tricate and useful equipment, some
with cutting-edge technology.
Fingerprints
Fingerprints left behind by a po-
tential suspect are an invaluable
source of information to deputies.
Forensic light sources have been
used for years in police depart-
ments, making black powder dust-
ing and lifting obsolete, and
enhance the opportunity to uncover
prints and bodily liquids.
The UltraLite ALS has been used
by CCSO's crime scene specialists
for five years and is the newest ver-
sion in forensic detection.
"Our main priority is to use them
for fingerprints and biological flu-
ids," said Sgt. Tim Martin, a CCSO
officer who's experienced the Ul-
traLite and previous variations of
forensic lighting.
Compared to just ultraviolet black
lighting alone, UltraLite combines
the effectiveness of a UV and ad-
justable spectrums of light to create
a detailed image of evidence that
will not blur.
By adjusting different wave-
lengths of light, ranging from 455 to
485 nanometers, the UltraLite ALS
is able to pick up the specific color
band of the contamination itself on
any type of texture, without the in-
terference given off by the back-
ground surface.
"It all depends on the chemistry
and the absorption of light that
we're trying to pick up," Sgt. Martin
said.
Not only can prints and fluids be
made visible by the UltraLite, but


Procedure, technology help collect clues


MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Citrus County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Ray Fischer explains the benefits of a new,
mobile fingerprinting tool the department incorporates to positively identify an
unknown subject.


The UltraLite ALS has been used by CCSO's crime scene specialists for five
years and is the newest version in forensic detection. The compact device
can upload a fingerprint to a national data where a subject's identity can be
confirmed.


strands of hair on a carpet, gunshot
residue, wounds and suspicious
documents can all be identified.
The device is also smaller in com-
parison to its earlier models, but
doesn't come cheap.
"It's hand held," Sgt. Martin said,
"but it's quite an expensive piece of
equipment"
Dusting for clues
A shoe print from an escaped or
fleeing fugitive can be just as useful
as a fingerprint.
While most shoes have a generic
pattern or layout, an imprint can


still be compared to the shoes of a
suspect in custody to connect him
with the scene of the crime.
The Electro-Static Print Lifter
(ESDL) is a device that produces an
electrical current capable of lifting
dust particles and transferring them
to a Mylar sheet and producing a
clear image of a shoe print
"It's useful for any scene that has
dust prints," Martin said about the
portable device. "Like bank rob-
beries, where the suspect jumps
over the counter top."

One-pot cook

gives meth a

second act
A.B. SIDIBE
Staff Writer
Detective Steve Smith
is somewhat of a resi-
dent maven about all
things methampheta-
mines or the drug
commonly called meth.
Over the years, Smith
has made himself a fas-
tidious student of the
hyper noxious and de-
structive drug and is
more than eager to help
the Citrus County Sher-
iff's Office staunch what
he calls a nationwide
epidemic.
During his time fight-
ing to get the dangerous
and highly addictive
drug off the streets, he
has seen two waves of
meth manufacturing and
abuse. Today, he said the
county and the nation
- is in the throes of a
second act in the meth
war.
And the culprit?
The one-pot cook.
"That has really
changed things around
here and the rest of the
country," Smith said.
He said during its pre-
vious heydays, meth was
a complicated brew of
noxious chemicals, in-
volving a multi-layered
cooking process.
According to the Drug
Enforcement Adminis-
tration, emergency de-
partment visits related to
methamphetamine de-
creased 50 percent from
an estimated 132,576 in
2004 to an estimated
66,308 in 2008.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Associated Press
Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney, hosts a small-business roundtable during
a campaign stop Monday at Endural LLC in Costa Mesa,
Calif. Stubbornly close and deeply divisive, the presidential
race throttles into its last 100 days as an enormous clash
over economic vision, likely to come down to fall debates,
final unemployment numbers and fierce efforts to mobilize
voters.



Counting




down

Obama, Romney dive into

final 100 days of campaign


Associated Press
WASHINGTON Stub-
bornly close and deeply di-
visive, the presidential race
throttles into its last 100
days as an enormous clash
over economic vision, with
the outcome likely to come
down to fall debates, final
unemployment numbers
and fierce efforts to mobi-
lize voters. It may seem like
an election for the whole
nation, but only about eight
states will decide who wins
the White House.
Polling shows the contest
between President Barack
Obama and Republican Mitt
Romney remains remark-
ably static across the country
and in those pivotal states,
even as both men and their
allies pour money into
largely negative television
advertising to sway opinions.
The two candidates will
intensify their time before
voters in the weeks ahead,
knowing much of the public
will not truly start paying at-
tention until after Labor Day
What voters probably will
see will look a lot like what's
played out so far a bitter,
bruising, personal contest
over who can be trusted to
fix the economy Obama, for
example, used his weekend
radio and Internet address
to blame Republicans for a
stalemate that could raise
taxes on Americans next
year, and he took a swipe at
Romney without mention-
ing his challenger by name.
"Republicans in Congress
and their nominee for pres-
ident believe that the best
way to create prosperity in
America is to let it trickle
down from the top," he said.
"They believe that if our
country spends trillions
more on tax cuts for the
wealthy, we'll somehow cre-
ate jobs even if we have to
pay for it by gutting things
like education and training
and by raising middle-class
taxes. They're wrong."
The upcoming stretch is
loaded with opportunities for
the candidates to capture the
public's imagination, land a
big blow or flub a chance.
Then there are the sur-
prises be they national
events or scares from abroad
-that can jolt the campaigns
and test the candidates.
"We're all looking for that
moment," said David Ger-
gen, a political analyst who
has advised Republican and
Democratic presidents. He
predicted it could come in
the first of the debates, in
Denver on Oct. 3, when
Obama and Romney finally
stand on a stage together


and go at it over economic
policy
Gergen said it could be
the most defining debate in
more than 50 years. "Obama
is leading, but it's often 47-
45. He's still got to get to 50,"
he said. "If the undecided
voters all break at the last
minute, that could go
against the incumbent. If
Obama wants to wrap it up,
the first debate carries
enormous significance."
The daily squabbles and
wrinkles of the campaign will
change. So will the gaffes.
The basic messages will not
Obama's thesis is that his
plan for rebuilding the eco-
nomic base and for ending
tax cuts for the rich will help
everyone, and that Romney
would be a return to reces-
sion-era policies. Romney's
view is Obama came in over
his head, squandered his
shot and must give way to a
leader favoring small gov-
ernment and taxes.
As Obama's wife,
Michelle, put it in an appeal
to supporters: "These last
few months until Election
Day won't be easy."
That sentiment applies all
around.
The state of the race again
shows how certain states
take on outsized importance
in a contest that is decided
by electoral votes, not the
popular vote. Only the states
considered truly up for
grabs get the coveted atten-
tion of the candidates and
their top surrogates, and of
course the onslaught of ex-
pensive advertising.
The most contested are
Colorado, Florida, Iowa,
Ohio, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, North Carolina and
Virginia. Pennsylvania is
also in the mix.
Foreign affairs has made
a brief run to the front of the
campaign, with Romney,
who has little experience in
that arena, eager to show his
standing on his current trip
across England, Israel and
Poland. Obama has used the
power of his office to try to
upstage Romney's travels
and remind everyone there
is only one president
Yet what matters most is
the basic economic condi-
tion that people feel in their
daily lives.
Economic growth is mod-
est and headed in the wrong
direction, new government
figures show, and so is
monthly job growth. The
next jobs snapshot comes
next Friday, setting the tone
for a month when many
Americans will try grab a
break but the presidential
campaigns will not.

TALLAHASSEE Even
as embattled Republican
Party of Florida Chairman
Jim Greer fights criminal
charges related to his for-

two law firms in connection
with his downfall as the
party's leader
According to papers filed
in Leon County, Greer is
suing the GrayRobinson
and Ausley & McMullen law
firms because of advice he
said attorneys for both
firms gave him surrounding
Victory Strategies, a com-
pany Greer set up to help
raise funds for the party.
Victory Strategies is also
at the center of the criminal
case against Greer, charged
with money laundering and
fraud in relation to an al-
leged fundraising scheme
in which he is accused of
steering party money to the
company while he was
chairman. Greer said party


leaders knew what he was
doing and that a severance
agreement should have
protected him from any
criminal liability
Greer accuses Gray-
Robinson of giving him bad
advice by telling him to set
up Victory Strategies.
"GrayRobinson breached
its duty to Greer by advising
Greer to create Victory
Strategies, LLC for the pur-
pose of entering into a con-
fidential fundraising
agreement with the RPOF,
advising Greer to enter into
the confidential fundraising
agreement with the RPOF
through Victory Strategies,
LLC, and then disclosing to
third parties the confiden-
tial and privileged commu-
nications related to the
creation of Victory Strate-
gies, LLC and the confiden-
tial fundraising agreement,"
the lawsuit states.
It does not specifically
name the third parties that
GrayRobinson allegedly
spoke with.


The firm denies most of
Greer's substantive claims.
"GrayRobinson had no
knowledge of and no com-
munications with anyone
regarding the alleged confi-
dential fundraising con-
tract between Victory
Strategies and the RPOF
and accordingly had no in-
formation it could reveal to
anyone regarding that al-
leged contract," the firm
said in its response.
Greer says Ausley & Mc-
Mullen gave him bad advice
on the deal he signed with
RPOF leaders as he left the
party.
"As to naming Victory
Strategies, LLC by name in
the severance agreement,
Ausley advised Greer that

Week in state gov't: Election time a' coming but when?


MICHAEL PELTIER
The News Service of
Florida

TALLAHASSEE Any
Floridian with a mailbox, a
telephone or a TV probably
realized this week that an
election is approaching.
Just when people will be
able to vote might actually
be up in the air.
As voters waded through
nasty campaign mailers sent
out by shadowy groups that
may or may not have been
related to candidates, as
surrogates for the presiden-
tial candidates flew all over
the place, a Democratic con-
gresswoman filed a federal
lawsuit over the dates when
Florida voters can start
casting their ballots.
Many Florida voters may
not realize how close the
primary is early voting
for most of us starts at the
end of next week, under the
state's new election law ,
which is about to be used for
the first time since being
overhauled in 2011. But if
the law hadn't changed, vot-
ing would have started at
the beginning of next week.
Congresswoman Corrine
Brown, a Democrat, joined
several Duval County resi-
dents in a
federal law-
suit to block
changes in
Florid a's
election law
that re-
duced the
number of
early voting Corrine
days from Brown
15 to 10. The U.S. House.
new law,
which passed over the ob-
jections of Democrats, also
gives local election supervi-
sors more discretion to de-


cide exactly when polls will
be open for early voting.
Brown's lawsuit alleges
that the changes violate the
U.S. Constitution and the
federal Voting Rights Act.
"Early voting has worked
extremely well for all
Floridians and especially
for African American vot-
ers," Brown said. "In fact,
more than any other racial
or ethnic group, African
Americans have come to
rely on early voting."
Election officials, how-
ever, say the lawsuit is mis-
guided, arguing that Florida
voters will still have ample
time to cast ballots before
Election Day
Brown's is the latest cru-
sade against perceived Re-
publican-backed efforts to
prevent a repeat of 2008
when a wave of new voters
cast ballots early and
flooded the polls on Elec-
tion Day Critics say the re-
strictions are thinly veiled
attempts to make it harder
for Democrat-leaning voters
to cast ballots.
Backers say it's a way to
curb costs for cash-strapped
election supervisors and
prevent fraud.
Even former Gov Charlie
Crist jumped on the "let-the-
people -
vote" wagon
this week as
he told
MSNBC
such efforts
were "un-
c o n -
scionable."
Crist, a Re- Charlie
publican Crist
turned in- former
dependent governor
(and some- of Florida.
times men-
tioned as a potential
Democratic candidate), was


the driving force behind ef-
forts to automatically re-
store voting rights to most
felons who had completed
their sentences.
Crist's reforms were short
lived. Among their first ac-
tions, Gov Rick Scott and
the newly elected, all-Re-
publican Cabinet rescinded
the directive and made it
even more difficult for
felons to get their civil and
voting rights restored.
"The idea of making it
more difficult to exercise
this precious right is just un-
conscionable to me," said
Crist.
ENVIRONMENTALISTS
GO TO COURT
Meanwhile, environmen-
tal groups in separate ac-
tions filed legal challenges
this week in an effort to in-
crease water flows to the
Caloosahatchee River, and
reduce nutrient-laden phos-
phorus levels in the
Everglades.
On Friday, the Florida
Audubon Society filed legal
petitions to force the South
Florida Water Management
District to enforce more
stringent laws put in place
five years ago to reduce
phosphorus levels coming
into the Everglades.
Audubon is seeking ad-
ministrative hearings on
separate permits granted to
U.S. Sugar Corp., Sugar
Farms Cooperative and the
Sugar Cane Growers Coop-
erative that the environ-
mental group says do not
require individual farms to
reduce phosphorus releases
to permissible levels, a re-
quirement that began in
2007.
Water management offi-


cials say phosphorus levels
have dropped significantly
since 1994 and the district
continues to work with
farmers to lower that num-
ber even further
Earlier in the week, envi-
ronmentalists filed suit in
federal court to force the
U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers to clean up the
Caloosahatchee River by
letting the river flow
The Corps operates three
water stations on the river
that control water levels
downstream.
In times of drought, the
Corps largely cuts off the
flow, leading to stagnation
on the lower river that in
turn leads to algae blooms
and unhappy property own-
ers and tourism officials.
PRISONS
An appeals court this
week ruled against Attorney
General Pam Bondi in a
long-running battle over the
Legislature's attempt last
year to privatize prisons
across southern Florida.
The 1st District Court of
Appeal rejected Bondi's ap-
peal of a circuit-court ruling
that blocked the privatiza-


Weekly ROUNDUP


tion plan from going forward.
A three-judge panel ruled
against Bondi on a proce-
dural issue saying she did
not have the authority to file
the appeal after the original
state party in the case, the
Department of Corrections,
declined to do so.
MORE COURT FIGHTS
Meanwhile, the saga of
former Republican Party
Chairman Jim Greer contin-
ued to play out for political
observers, with a few news
organizations this week re-
porting on recordings from
the investigative file in
which Greer acknowledged
pulling down a lot of money
while fundraising for the
party, and wondering what
he did with it.
And in another blast from
the recent past, former
House Speaker Ray Sansom
late this week sued to try to
recoup his legal costs from
his own downfall.
Sansom was ousted as
speaker and later quit the
Legislature over allegations
of improperly steering state
money when he was budget
chairman. But in a criminal
case, he was cleared, and
now he wants to be repaid
the money he spent defend-
ing himself.

CITIZENS BOARD
APPROVES RATE HIKES
The governing board of
Citizens Property Insurance
Corp. approved tentative
rate hikes averaging at least
8.8 percent for its 1.4 million
policyholders. The state Of-
fice of Insurance Regula-
tion has 45 days to approve
or disapprove the rates.
The board also stepped
down from efforts to charge
new policyholders more
and instead will try to in-
crease other costs in an ef-
fort to show all Citizens
customers the real cost of
their below market-rate,
state-backed insurance.
STORY OF THE
WEEK: As the primary ap-
proaches and election in-
tensity increases, the fight
over the state's election law
continued, going to federal
court in a new lawsuit, filed
by Rep. Corrine Brown.
QUOTE OF THE
WEEK: "He's a nice guy"
Former Gov Charlie Crist
when asked what he
thought of U.S. Sen. Marco
Rubio and whether he'd be
qualified to serve as vice
president if he were chosen
as a running mate for Re-
publican presidential can-
didate Mitt Romney

Romney backers buy $1 million in radio ads


Associated Press
WASHINGTON The super
PAC backing Mitt Romney on Fri-
day announced a $1 million radio
ad blitz in nine states attacking
President Barack Obama for neg-
ativity, signaling the fierce cam-
paign spending is heading in force
to drive-time in must-win states.
While both Romney and Obama
- and their allies have been
shelling out millions on television
ads, neither has been aggressive
on radio, a relatively cheap and
ubiquitous medium that is trickier
to track and easier to target. That
relative quiet on the dials was set


to end with a 60-second ad in Col-
orado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada,
New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
"You spent a trillion taxpayer
dollars on the stimulus. It failed,"
a female narrator says of Obama
in the ads. "The jobless rate went
up and has been stuck above 8
percent for 41 straight months.
You increased spending so wildly
that you've added more debt than
the first 41 presidents -
combined."
The ad says Obama has turned
the campaign negative against
Romney because he cannot run on
his time in the White House.


"Imagine you were Barack
Obama. What would you do now?"
the announcer asks.
In recent weeks, Obama's cam-
paign has shifted its strategy to di-
rectly hit Romney with questions
about his tenure at the helm of
Bain Capital, his vast personal
wealth and his honesty. Romney's
team has been on the defense,
even as government reports show
the U.S. economy has struggled to
recover as quickly as Obama and
voters had hoped.
"False desperate attacks with
no record to run on. It's the only
strategy Obama has left," the ad
says.


Obama, meanwhile, is airing
Spanish-language radio ads tar-
geting Hispanic voters and touting
Democrats' health care overhaul.
Other radio ads are reaching out
to rural voters.
"My grandparents came from
the Midwest," Obama says in an ad
that extolls "core middle-class val-
ues that helped to build America."
"People still believe in hard
work, they still believe in personal
responsibility. And that's why
we've spent a lot of time on how
we build on the strengths of rural
America, making sure folks out
there have access to health care,
the ability to export their goods to


markets."
The ads also nod to rural voters'
skepticism of the "big city," in-
cluding Washington.
"Young people can say to them-
selves, 'We can succeed here just
like we can in the big city' because
ultimately, the strengths of those
communities, those are the
strengths of America," Obama
says in the minute-long ad.
For his part, Romney has
bought about $150,000 in radio
time this month in the Columbus,
Ohio, market and about $9,000 in
New Hampshire.
Romney advisers say they do not
have ads on the radio at this time.

DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle
The state abruptly stopped construction of a new sidewalk on the south side of the roadway along the Withlacoochee State
Forest at the request of Citrus County Administrator Brad Thorpe. These machines sit idle Saturday where the sidewalk
ends on State Road 44 near Wal-Mart in Inverness.

state forest.
Thorpe said he spoke with Don
Skelton, secretary of the DOT's Dis-
trict 7 office in Tampa, and suggested
the county and state partner for an al-
ternative on that side of the highway
"I said, 'Don, this sidewalk on the
south side of 44 will be rarely used be-
cause there's nothing on the south
side but forest,"' Thorpe said.
Citrus County officials had recom-
mended against sidewalks and sug-
gested a single multi-use path, similar


to what it is building along the newly
widened County Road 486. The state's
response was that it couldn't afford to
build a multi-use path but the county
could if it wanted.
So work on the sidewalks began
shortly after resurfacing started to
take place. Many residents assumed it
was a county project and they called
county offices to complain.
Thorpe, in a guest newspaper col-
umn on the county budget, made a
point to mention the sidewalks were a
state project.
DOT officials had said in late May
that sidewalks may seem unnecessary
now, but they could be needed in the
future as the county grows. They said


the sidewalks were being built to pro-
tect bicyclists and pedestrians.
Thorpe said he understands that
logic for the north side of S.R. 44 with
its commercial frontage.
Thorpe said the county will apply
for a DOT enhancement grant to build
the multi-use trail.
DOT spokeswoman Kris Carson
said the sidewalk project on the north
side of S.R. 44 is nearly complete. She
said sidewalk work on the south side
is limited to the stretch of S.R. 44 from
C.R. 491 west to the project's
boundary

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Chronicle file
Unlike marijuana, which requires space, light and water to grow the plants, a newer process for creating methamphetamine drugs takes lit-
tle space. The one-pot method also called the shake and bake method is where all the ingredients and chemicals are combined into
a one-reaction vessel, usually a bottle or jar.


METH
Continued from Page Al

making the drug, law enforce-
ment is starting to see an uptick
in usage as well as overdoses.
The process is still toxic, "but
someone came up with a way to
make it in a simplistic way"
The one-pot method also
called the shake and bake
method is where all the ingre-
dients and chemicals are com-
bined into a one-reaction vessel,
usually a bottle or jar.
But because all the ingredi-
ents are brewed together, the
method has shown a high sus-
ceptibility for explosions and
fire. All the ingredients can often
be kept in a backpack making
the lab highly portable.
"You arrest one cook, another
one steps in," Smith added.
Officials began seeing a spike


in this method of manufacturing
in 2011 and a similar rise in
meth abuse.
Smith said he and his fellow
investigators have therefore in
the past year been extremely
busy disrupting, tracking and ar-
resting purveyors and manufac-
turers of the drug.
Smith guesses at least 40 meth
labs have been busted in the past
year.
"And that's because we as an
agency have been really aggres-
sive about going after these
labs," he said.
Smith said federal efforts to
classify ephedrine as prescrip-
tion medication will help to es-
sentially halt domestic
production of meth.
"Without ephedrine, there will
be no meth. What we will see
after that would be the meth
from Mexico," he said.
Mexican meth, said Smith,
usually comes in the form of

crystal-like shards while home-
grown meth is usually granu-
lated.
According to data from au-
thorities in Tennessee for exam-
ple, when legislation was passed
placing over-the-counter cold
medications containing
ephedrine/pseudoephedrine be-
hind the pharmacy counter, law


enforcement found that small
local labs seized dropped from
1,500 in 2004 to 955 in 2005, with
the most dramatic reductions
seen in rural counties.
In Florida, those buying
ephedrine have to show identifi-
cation and have a quota for the
month, said Smith.
But law enforcement has
found that lab operators use
their friends to purchase
ephedrine for them.
According to officials, a strong
ammonia or solvent smell like an

SO YOU KNOW
* Methamphetamine is abused for its
stimulant and euphoric effects. It
can be taken orally, snorted,
smoked, and injected. Smoking or
injecting methamphetamine results
in intense euphoria and is often
associated with binge use, large
escalation in dose with rapid tissue
tolerance, and high rates of
dependence and addiction.
* "Ice," "Glass" and "Crystal" are
all terms for concentrated
d-methamphetamine HCI chunks
that are smoked.
* Yaba is a Thai name for a colored
tablet containing methampheta-
mine combined with caffeine which
is gaining popularity among
individuals who frequent "raves."
* According to the 2009 National
Survey on Drug Use and Health,
12.84 million individuals, ages 12
and older, reported illicit use of
methamphetamine at least once in
their lifetime. In the past year,
1.17 million reported illicit use of
methamphetamine.
* Methamphetamine is chemically
and pharmacologically similar to
amphetamine, although it has more
potent effects on the central
nervous system that can last for six
to eight hours. Methamphetamine
increases the release of the
neurotransmitter dopamine, which
stimulates brain cells, enhancing
mood and energy.
* At low doses, methamphetamine
produces such effects as increased
wakefulness, increased physical
activity, increased heart rate and
blood pressure, decreased appetite,
increased respiration and body
temperature (hyperthermia), and
euphoria.
* High-dose, chronic use has been
associated with irritability, tremors,
convulsions, anxiety, paranoia and
neurotoxic effects that cause
damage to neurons and blood
vessels. Aggressive and violent
behavior, often directed at spouses
and children, pose a significant risk
to those individuals in contact with
methamphetamine addicts. Death
has resulted from extreme anorexia,
hyperthermia, convulsions and
cardiovascular collapse (including
stroke and heart attacks).

Domestic violence shelter full, busy


On September 15, 2011, 42 out of 42, or 100%, of identified loal domestic c violence prCounts

On September 15, 2011, 42 out of 42, or 100%, of identified local domestic violence programs in Florida participated in


the 2011 National Census of Domestic Violence Services.
3,166 Victims Served in One Day
1,926 domestic violence victims found refuge in
emergency shelters or transitional housing provided by
local domestic violence programs. In addition to a safe
place to lay their heads at night, shelter residents were
provided with a variety of comprehensive services, some
of which are listed in the chart below.
1,240 adults and children received non-residential
assistance and services, including individual counseling,
legal advocacy, and children's support groups.
This chart shows the percentage of programs that provided
the following services on the Census Day.

With 81 unmet requests, emergency shelter and transitional

Other frequently requested unmet needs include legal
representation, counseling, and legal advocacy.
Programs were unable to provide services for many reasons:

* 45% reported not enough funding for needed

Domestic violence hotlines are a lifeline for victims in

"A survivor currently residing in shelter is undergoing
breast cancer therapy. Her abusive partner had
convinced her she would be less of a woman with one
breast, with scars, and no hair, so she originally refused
to have treatment. Prior to coming into shelter she had
decided to just die. Today, she has completed most of
her chemotherapy and is re-learning to live. She will
remain in shelter and we will nuture and support her
through the rest of her treatment."

Domestic violence is an
underreported crime that
touches many lives.
According to the National
Coalition Against Domestic
Violence, one in every four
women will experience do-
mestic violence in their life-
time.
Since 1983, Citrus Abuse
Shelter Association (CASA)
has been helping victims of
domestic violence by pro-
viding shelter, safety, inter-
vention and education, and
educating the community
for social change.
So far this summer, Diana
Finegan, executive director,
said CASA has been busy
"Our shelter has been full
for some time," she said.
In addition, the office has
been fielding multiple phone
calls from outside of Citrus
County inquiring about shel-
ter space. Finegan's guess is
other shelters around the
state are full, as well.
The reason could possibly
be women find it easier to
leave the abusive situation
when the children are out of
school. And the current eco-
nomic climate has created a
pressure cooker for many
families who were already
stressed.
"There is already power
and control issues in the
home and then add the
economy to it. Things esca-
late," Finegan said.
But whatever the reasons
may be, she and new pro-
gram manager Judy Shelton
have rolled up their sleeves
to help out with the heavy
caseload.

What Makes Us Great?
LELAND ASHBY
Pizza Critic


Today you do not hear
enough positive comments
about young people. I
would like to take the time
to recognize Pizza Caf6's
great staff.
Manager Ashley Zane &
husband Jarred (manager of
Paige's Root beer) are proud
parents of two month old
baby Atticus. Ashley is back
and the perfect complement
to our new and improved
wait staff: Haley, Alex &
Amber. Three great young
ladies working hard to make
sure our customers have a
pleasant dining experience.
In the kitchen we have
Maxwell, John, Richard &
David. David the new guy
with three years and the rest
of the guys have all been
with the Pizza Caf6 for six
or more years. This type of
dedication keeps the food
consistent and the
customers coming back.


We struggled for a few
months getting Paige's Root
beer open and making some
staff adjustments in the front
of the house at Chef
Anthony's But we have
come through it with the
BEST sales quarter in ten
years. All crew members
including servers must work
a shift per week in the
kitchen to learn the product,
timing, etc. to hopefully
improve the customers
dining experience. All new
employees, after successful
completion of probation
period, get a maroon shirt,
showing they are a Pizza
Caf6 employee. Next is the
green shirt showing they are
fully trained and productive
team members. Last is the
black shirt of distinction, for


dedication, positive attitude
& superior performance.
Sincerest thanks to the crew.
Cheney Brothers is our
exclusive food supply. C-B-I
the largest privately owned
food supplier in Florida
providing the best products
on the market. Chef
Anthony's Pizza Caf6 only
uses Grande cheese, there is
no better. Stanislaus tomato
products, best in the
industry. Our product arrives
fresh and clean twice a
week. Pizza Cafe maintains
a clean kitchen and is one of
the few mom and pop
places, maybe the only one
to receive a perfect health
inspection. In ten years of
business they may not have
all been perfect but I can
boast that Pizza Cafe has
never received a bad health
inspection. Go to
myflorida.com hotel &
restaurant and see for
yourself.
Chef Anthony takes the
mystery out of making a
great New York style pizza.
Great pizza sauce starts
with a great tomato. I have
tried multiple brands of
tomato paste, pizza sauce,
and combinations of herbs
and spices. The key is to
understand that all tomatoes
are not created equal. You
have green house, Roma,
field vine, California, etc.
The time of year, amount of
rainfall are a few factors that
affect any tomato gravy.
Start with a good base
sauce. Chef Anthony only
uses Stanislaus, absolutely
the best tomato products on
the market. Gravy should
have a smooth texture with
some small chunks of
tomato still visible. You will
need to add sugar in some
quantity and heat over low
flame for about fifteen
minutes to cook out any
bitterness in the sauce.
Carrots are a good natural
sweetener and will absorb


some of the acid content.
The amount of sugar, cook
time and temperature may
vary depending on some of
the factors listed above.
Chef Anthony uses the
finest base tomato gravy and
adds an assortment of spices
to make a great pizza sauce.
The bottom line is this:
Stay away from precooked
ready to serve sauce. The
correct cook time and
temperature is the key.
Gently stir sauce about
every three minutes, cool
sauce for fifteen minutes and
put in an airtight container
and refrigerator for twelve to
twenty four hours before
serving.
Most Pizza places buy
frozen dough balls from
their food supplier and tell
costumers that they made it
themselves.
At the Pizza Caf6 Chef
Anthony makes dough fresh
every day. I have used
purified water, spring water
and filtered tap water. All
three yield the same result.
However, you cannot use


well water,
otherwise.


filtered or


If you're local pizza shop is
on well water it means one of
two things. They make bad
dough or they buy frozen
dough balls loaded with
preservatives.
Basic ingredients: water,
flour, yeast, salt, sugar, oil &
filler (fillers are secret
ingredients to give the dough
a distinct flavor.)


A few tips:
Do not make your batch sizes
too big, use cold water to
keep the yeast from
activating and the less time
the batch of dough is exposed
to air the better it will be.

Buster Thompson
GUEST
COLUMN
Many people try not
to get themselves in
the back of a Citrus
County Sheriff's patrol car
I, on the other hand, man-
aged to find myself in the
front seat of one.
I had the privilege of ac-
companying Cpl. Joseph
Casola, call sign 314, during
a part of his 12-hour patrol
shift beginning at 5 p.m. on
a Friday
Known as the "walking
Florida Statute book" by his
fellow deputies, Casola has
been with the CCSO since
early 2001, and is still sur-
prised by the dispatch calls
he receives.
"It's never the same thing
twice, it's always different
and it keeps it interesting,"
he said about patrolling.
Along with three other
units, he patrols the north-
east zone of the county,
where I witnessed places
and people I never knew
existed before the shift
began.
Our first call came up on
in-car computer The caller
received a threat that a
man from New Jersey was
on his way down to burn
down her house.
After showing me the
process on how to accept a
call on his laptop, we drove
off to investigate the house
in Beverly Hills.
"We do this pretty much
ourselves. We don't really
have to talk to our dis-
patcher unless he's sending
us to a call," Casola said.
"Everything is done
silently"
Driving past the caller's
intact house, we both came
to the conclusion it wasn't
on fire, and there were no
indications anybody was
even home.
"I don't put anything past
anybody anymore," the
deputy said about the peo-
ple he deals with. "Society
has definitely changed."
As night finally arrived,
and after a few more inter-
esting calls, Casola and I
found ourselves responding
to a 9-1-1 hang-up, deep in
the rural and wooded out-

skirts of the county, popu-
lated by a few small houses
and mobile homes.
Suddenly, the radio
blared out an alarm from
dispatch: "314 respond we
have a suspected burglary
in progress, involving four
suspects."
Since all other units were
busy, we had to go the loca-
tion, miles away, alone.
"Well I guess that's us,"
Casola said calmly before
turning on his sirens and
lights.
I could've sworn I heard
Casola whistling between
dispatches requesting back
up for our unit, as we went
80 mph on a 50 mph road.
As we got closer to the
scene, he turned off his
lights and sirens so as not to
spook the burglars.
When we arrived, neigh-
bors were in the front yard
of the house, yelling to
someone at the back of
house.
The moment the deputy
stepped out of his car,

his face went from a smile
to solid, straight-faced
stoicism.
Watching from inside the
car, I saw Cpl. Casola return
from the screened patio
with a young man in hand-
cuffs and placing him in the
back seat behind me.
The young man, who ap-
peared to be intoxicated,
began talking to me after
Casola left to investigate
the house with arriving
deputies and a K-9 unit.
I didn't want to say any-
thing to him, but it's diffi-
cult not to talk to people


who find themselves in this
predicament, so I began to
talk to him.
In the end, the officers
weren't able to find the
other suspects, notice the
house inside to be dis-
turbed or find proof that the
detained individual had
any connection with the at-
tempted burglary and had
to let him go.
Casola told me afterward
that the young man thought
I was very nice when I
spoke to him.
As midnight came close, I
decided my adrenal glands
had had enough for the
night
I thanked Casola for al-
lowing me to join him on
one of his many exciting
nights and left him to con-
tinue his shift, but not be-
fore he went to get a bagel
at Dunkin Donuts at two in
the morning.

If you were to walk into
any Citrus County school,
chances are you would spot
a uniformed School Re-
source Officer (SRO) roam-
ing the halls.
These deputies from the
Citrus County Sheriff's Of-
fice are a part of a national
SRO program that works in
conjunction with the CCSO
and the Citrus County
School Board.
"It's a partnership, and just
another tool," said SRO Su-
pervisor Lt Kevin Purinton.
The SRO program is em-
braced by school board mem-
bers and the school district,
Superintendent Sandra
"Sam" Himmel said Friday
"Many things that go on in
the school are reported early
so we can deal with it," she
said. "The officers build a re-
lationship with the students
in elementary school and
that follows them to high
school and that helps. They
are positive role models."
By having a presence on
the school grounds, Himmel
sees it as a proactive
approach.
These officers have the
yearly responsibility of
maintaining a connection
between the students, their
schools and the community,
offering any assistance to
the student body
"We help kids make
proper decisions," said
Kevin Purinton. "We give
them all successful avenues
in school."
Since 1985, the SRO pro-
gram has progressively in-
fused their "Triad Concept"
within the County's educa-
tion system, starting in pri-
mary schools, by helping
concerned students, provid-
ing a law enforcement pres-
ence and teaching law
classes.
"(The SRO) is definitely
considered a staff member.
They're just like any other
teacher," Purinton said.
While younger students
may not necessarily need the
SRO for enforcing law, the

program still wants to edu-
cate them on how to be suc-
cessful in later years.
"We try to work out with
younger kids and steer them
to an appropriate behavior,"
said Purinton.
Along with protecting
schools from danger, the
SRO provides counseling
for at risk students in order
to reach a preemptive
solution.
"For the students who
struggle, we identify who
they are, find out the problem
and get to the root cause,"
said Purinton.
The proof of the SRO pro-
gram's success in preventing
crime in schools is evident in
their juvenile arrest num-
bers, which have been de-
creasing year by year
"The program has been
very successful," Purinton
said.
Depending on the offense,
SRO's response is to be le-
nient to first-time offenders.
Instead of arresting them, the
student is cited to Teen Court
and is given the opportunity
to show the community that
they can change.
"We refer them to Teen
Court to educate them," Pur-
inton said.
Every school year can
present difficulties to stu-
dents, and the SRO program
makes sure kids can face
those challenges head one
and without reluctance.
"We're here to reinforce
our message," he said. "We're
not going to save them all, but
we give them that chance."

fraudster's favorite target
is an easy one. *
And sadly, many times
that target is a senior cit-
izen.
According to The Fed- *
eral Bureau of Investiga-
tion (FBI), seniors are
most likely to have a
"nest egg," to own their *
home and/or to have ex-
cellent credit, which
make them attractive to
con artists. *
They are also less
likely to report a fraud
because they don't know *
who to report it to, are too
ashamed at having been
scammed, or don't know
they have been scammed.
Fortunately, Seniors vs.
Crime has been working *
vigilantly in Citrus
County to recover losses
for victimized seniors.
First established in
July 2002, the Seniors vs.
Crime storefront in Bev-
erly Hills was a joint proj-
ect of the Citrus County
Sheriff's Office and the
Florida Attorney Gen-
eral's Office. It was the
first of its kind in the state to combine
the multiple resources of a sheriff's
office and the attorney general's of-
fice to assist older adults.
Since then, the hardworking staff of
volunteers has investigated a number
of cases ranging from simple business
to customer miscommunications to
large-scale financial exploitations.
Project staff members not only ad-
vocate for older adults but citizens of
all ages who believe they have been
cheated.
Just recently, Don Moran, founding
storefront manager, said the program
celebrated completing a decade of
service in the county.
Over the years, the program has


Always obtain at least three written
estimates.
Consult with the Better Business
Bureau or government agencies
before having work done.
Have a written contract for all work to
be performed.
Make sure the contractor is licensed, if
required, and has insurance.
Never provide anyone with your bank
account, social security number or
important personal information,
especially over the phone.
Be wary of offers where they are
only "right now."

closed 1,596 cases and recovered
more than $2 million in losses. Since
2002, program volunteers have in-
vested more than 25,000 hours into
helping recoup those monies.
Surprisingly, Moran said many of
the people they help come right
through the doors of their storefront.
There are times the problem can-
not be fixed, especially if a contract
has already been signed. But each
case is an individual case, Moran ex-
plained. Therefore, the volunteers
have to be extremely objective and do
a lot of research to see if the case is a
viable one.
"Paperwork is very important to
us," he said.
Many scams exist, but Moran said


the most common in-
volve buying equipment
and household items a
person is overcharged
for or many not necessar-
ily need.
"It's irritating," he
said. "It's buyer beware."
There are also issues
involving contractors
and repair people who
are not licensed or
pulling the permits
needed to do the job.
Moran said people
have to educate
themselves.
"It's an education that
has to happen," he said.
People also have to
learn how to say no and
be less trusting. There
used to be an old saying,
Moran said, that a per-
son's word was their
bond and a handshake
was the contract, but not
anymore.

INVERNESS Before
Teen Court was established
in 2004, the Juvenile Justice
System was overwhelmed
with adolescents who were
found accused of crimes
that could stain their lives,
but had no way of imple-
menting an educational pro-
gram to prevent another
possible crime.
"No crime is a small
crime," said Teen Court Co-
ordinator Darla Graber about
juvenile arrests, "but so many
kids come into the Juvenile
Justice System."
The Teen Court's 90-day di-
version program, only avail-
able in Florida, is designed to
give young adults the ability
to redeem themselves to the
community, their parents and
their victims.
Every Tuesday evening at
the Inverness courthouse,
teenagers who have con-
sented to entering Teen
Court, and therefore waived
their non-guilty plea, stand
in front of a volunteer judge,
jury and their parents, and
are read their arrest report.
The jury consists of other
kids who have also been
sentenced, watching, listen-
ing and learning about the
in-progress case.
Depending on the guide-
lines of the case, jurors
present the sentenced indi-
vidual with objectives to
complete within the 90-day
period of the program. The
volunteer judge regulates
these requirements.
"Each case is different be-
cause each person is differ-
ent," Graber said.
Along with a mandatory


apology to their parents or
the victimss, community
service, Teen Court jury
duty and essay writing are
some of the main educa-
tional tools used by this cur-
riculum.
"It's not a court program,"
said Graber "It's an educa-
tional program."
The juvenile is not left on
their own during the 90-day
period.
Goal setting classes ease
the strain of the hours and
essays by helping spread the
workload throughout the
course.
A volunteer State Trooper
teaches the kids about what
the consequences of their
crime will be equivalent to as
an adult Their parents are
required to attend as well.
Therapy sessions, like sub-
stance abuse and anger man-
agement counseling, are
offered to best suit the young
adult and their needs.
Darla Graber is technically
the only person employed to
the Teen Court program; the
rest are volunteers.
"We have very dedicated
volunteers," Graber said. "I
would have a very busy Tues-
day if it wasn't for them."
When all service hours
are accounted for, all essays
turned in, every verbal and
written apology given and
all jury duties are served be-
fore time is up, the individ-
ual's record is cleared of the
offense.
The motivation to com-
plete the course is to not go
on probation, pay fines or
have crime on their record
forever if they failed the
program.
"They only get one shot at
Teen Court," Graber said.

In 1994, the state of
Florida was awash in prop-
erty crimes, according to fig-
ures from the Florida
Department of Law En-
forcement (FDLE).
With the state population
at a hair below 14 million
people, 991,104 property
crimes were recorded that
year the most since 1960
and the worst after
Actually property crimes
- burglaries, larcenies,
auto thefts and arsons -
have been declining even
with population growth.
Florida population during
the 2010 Census was
18,801,310.
In 2010, FDLE recorded
669,035 property crimes
throughout the state.
Locally, the property crime
numbers are a mixed bag;
categories wax and wane de-
pending on what fuels them,
according to veteran commu-

Fass of the Citrus County
Sheriff's Office.
"The number one focus
right now among the crimi-
nal element is on pills," Fass
said. "They would jump at
every opportunity to get
their hands on those pills."
Fass said their team of 15

vacation homes and re-

TOOLS
Continued from Page Al

Used for five years by the
Citrus County Sheriff's Of-
fice, the ESDL was designed
to eliminate additional
equipment and wiring com-
mon with the early 1990
models.
With this newer product,
prints can even be gathered
off insulated surfaces and
carpeting.
The ESDL has both posi-
tive and negative posts on ei-
ther end of the device. The
negative post is placed on a
grounded metal plate, while
the positive post is placed on
the Mylar sheet
When turned on, the cur-
rent will suck the Mylar film
onto the surface and gather
the print in a matter of
seconds.
After the film is developed
and then analyzed by the
Florida Department of Law
Enforcement, the CCSO evi-
dence division can use the
shoe of an apprehended sus-
pect and do a side-by-side
comparison to the prints
gathered at the crime scene.
"Once we have a shoe, we
have a suspect, but if there
are no individual character-
istics, it can prove difficult,"
Martin said.
Nonetheless, the ESDL is a
simpler way for the police to
attain evidence that's hard to
gather
New technology
For an officer in the Citrus
County Sheriff's Office, or in
any police department, the
identification of a suspected
individual is crucial to how a
deputy can deal with that
person in any given situation.
Without knowing how dan-
gerous a suspect could be, the
deputies are putting them-
selves more at risk
For close to a year, the
CCSO's sergeants have had in
their possession a live finger
print scanner that they can fit
in their front pocket, utilizing
a more efficient way of gain-
ing information than solely
relying on a laptop.
"If anybody has ever had
their fingerprints taken and
is in the system, and I take
your finger print on the
scene, this device will grab it
and give me your informa-
tion," said Sgt Ray Fischer
Once a suspect is appre-
hended or has consented to
the scan, the deputy has the


opportunity to get an upper
hand.
By scanning two fingers,
this Bluetooth device sends
the prints via the laptop to
the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement, and sends
back the person's local and
national criminal history or
active warrants to the device
while the sergeant is talking
to the suspect

owners tell the unit they will be out of town.


selling a service if you are
home and will check your
home so they can return
later And, if you are not
home, they would just go
ahead and break in," he said.
Fass recommends the fol-
lowing for residents to keep
their properties safe:
Install better lighting.
Purchase a good alarm
system.
Get a camera system in
place to videotape activity
at your residence when you
are away Some systems in-
volve the ability to monitor
the camera remotely via a
computer or cellphone.
Lock car doors whenever


you park anywhere and
never leave your keys in a car
Demand to see a valid
government-issued permit
from a solicitor who is trying
to do work on your property
Fass, who is doing gradu-
ate degree work in Tampa,
said he would sometimes
share ideas with law en-
forcement officers in that
area and learned there is a
new game in town fraud.
Apparently, a lot of the
burglars are turning to
white-collar crimes like
credit card fraud, he said.
"It is more lucrative and
involves less work than ac-
tually breaking into homes,"


Fass added.
He said one of the meth-
ods these scammers use is
grabbing mail out of boxes
and stealing the person's
identity
"Normally, whatever is
hot in the Tampa area takes
about a few months before it
makes its way here," he
added.
Fass urges vigilance in the
community and encourages
residents to report anything
that does not "fit" in your
neighborhood to officials.

there's a record or warrant
involving the individual, the
sergeant has more knowl-
edge on how to deal with the
unknown.
"It gives you more of an in-
vestigative tool," Fischer
said. "It gives you more in-
sight on the person."
In addition, the print scan-
ner is useful for identifying
people with a criminal history
who have misplaced their dri-
ver's license, have Alz-
heimer's disease, a missing
person or who is a relative.
Criminals today are used
to having the fingers scanned,
but the device is pro-
grammed to detect any irreg-
ularities with the placement
of the finger
"People will try to move
their fingers around, but if
there's an issue, the device
will tell me to take the print
again," Fischer said.
According to Sgt David
Fields, in the majority of cir-
cumstances, criminals who
are familiar with the scanner
will turn themselves in.
"Once the bad guys see the
device, they just say, 'you got
me,"' said Fields.
Currently, only sergeants
carry the rechargeable and
long-lasting tool because of
the expense, but later down
the road every deputy will
have access to quick back-
ground information.
"The ability's there and
the technology's there,"
Fischer said. "It's just
around the corner"
Crime mapping
There's no question that
crime affects the public, and
for the citizens of Citrus
County, knowing what, when
and where the offense is, can
be the biggest tool in the com-
munity's possession in the
defense against criminals.
The Citrus County Sher-
iff's Office has given people
the ability to track reported
criminal activity with the use
of CrimeMapping.
Evolving since 2008,


CrimeMapping's interactive
online mapping system, con-
stantly updates crime from
the CCSO reports.
"Citizens know what's hap-
pened. It's a good way to get
interactive information," said
Sgt Chris Evan, supervisor of
Crime Prevention and volun-
teers of Citizens on Patrol.
Evan recognizes Crime-
Mapping as a way for people
to be more aware of what's
going on in their county.
"People seem to think that
there's no crime in Citrus
County," he said. "CrimeMap-
ping wakes them up to pay at-
tention to crime."
Deputies and volunteers of
the CCSO can also use
CrimeMapping to identify
high-risk areas, allowing
them to warn nearby resi-
dents to keep watch and in-
form the sheriff's office if
they notice anything.
"We rely on accurate and
timely information," Evan
said. "Our patrols are very
proactive with our crime
watch activities. I want us to
stop and talk to residents
directly"
Users have access to the lo-
cations of crimes from
months prior, enabling them
to determine patterns of the
transgressions.
"We recommend that peo-
ple set the dates as far back
as they can go, giving them
more of a forecast of crime,"
the deputy said.
Any crime that isn't re-
ported to authorities will not
be displayed, encouraging
citizens to report anything
they find.
"For the map to be useful,
the crime needs to be
known," he said.
By having a more informed
public, sheriff officials hope
to connect further with the
community's policing effort
CrimeMapping is also na-
tionally recognized and is
useful for planning any vaca-
tion around the country.

inal activity in your neigh-
borhood through CrimeMap-

BearCat
The Citrus County Sher-
iff's Office deputies respond
to any call that appears on
their in-vehicle laptop. Even
if it's a police hang-up.
Many scenarios might not
seem like a high-priority or
dangerous situation, but with
crime, anything can happen.
If a deputy approaches a
scene involving an armed or
barricaded subject, some-
times a basic police cruiser
doesn't provide enough secu-
rity
Used by the Citrus County
SWAT team and sheriff's of-
fice, the Ballistic Engineered
Armored Response Counter
Attack Truck or BearCat as
it is known was designed
as a critical response and res-
cue operations vehicle.
"It can be used to provide
cover from thrown objects,
weapons fire when assisting
an officer who is hurt," ser-
geant ray Fischer said, "and
for high-risk warrants."
Welded to a Ford F-550
chassis, steel armored plat-
ing, capable of repelling fire
from multiple assault
weapons, encases up to ten
SWAT team members.
"It's basically a civilian
tank," Fischer said. "It's
pretty neat"
The BearCat allows law
enforcement personnel to get
as close to the action as
possible.
"We can use it to approach
right up to a house, without
anybody harming the offi-
cers," Fischer said.
Capable of successfully
dealing with non-lethal and
lethal encounters with soci-
ety, the BearCat gives local
authorities the ability to deal
with it safely


Prison math


gets complicated


A.B. SIDIBE
Staff Writer

In the state of Florida
when it is time to do time,
things can get a bit flum-
moxed or mathematical in
court.
And it is not the simple
arithmetic of a judge say-
ing: "'I now sentence you to
30 years in prison."
The art of sentencing is a
score sheet which requires
a primary offense point
total times a host of other
points depending on fac-
tors such as victim impact.
Enhancements such as
prior criminal history also
factor into the equation.
When everything is tal-
lied, 28 is subtracted from
that number and the num-
ber is then multiplied by
.75.
That ultimate number is
the minimum number of
months a judge can im-
pose, unless the judge
finds mitigating reasons
such as a defendant being
too young to understand
the gravity of the offense in
order to impose something
lower The magic number,
however, is 44 points. Any-
one who scores 44 and
lower is exempt from state
prison, but a judge can sen-
tence to county time or im-
pose other sanctions like
probation.
To the lay person, it all
seems like a jumble, but ac-
cording to Assistant State
Attorney Rich Buxman,
who has to tally the num-
bers, it all makes sense.
"It is the only system I
have known as prosecutor
The legislature came up
with the sentencing guide-
line in 1983 to equalize
things for judges and to
make sure one person is
not getting one kind of sen-
tence in Broward County
and another getting some-
thing totally different in
the Panhandle for the
same crime," Buxman said.
"I think it sets the appro-
priate guidelines. It also
lets the judges retain their
discretion because they
can still sentence you to
the maximum for a crime.
It is only when they have to
depart lower than the
score sheet number that
they have to give a mitigat-
ing reason, like the level of
sophistication of the defen-
dant when they committed
the crime," he said.
With the new sentencing
guidelines, Florida also
abandoned its parole sys-
tem. Life in prison means
for your natural life, and

most of the other hefty sen-

Merrill thinks the abolition
of the parole system and
score sheets are creating a
prison industry based on
money and an assured sup-
ply of prisoners.
"It is extremely unfair
With the score sheet you
have all these other factors
which can be added to your
score and essentially guar-
antee that you are going to
have to spend a substantial
time in prison," Merrill
said.
"Right now, we have
huge geriatric wards in our
prisons. Feeding and med-
ically taking care of these
people in prison has to be
more expensive than let-
ting them go. Besides, what
kind of threat would a 75-
or 80-year-old pose to the
community?" she said.
Buxman, however, said
the enhancements in the
score sheet such as
prison release offenders
or habitual offenders,
which can sometimes dou-
ble a defendant's prison
sentence are separate
from the goals of the score
sheet system.
"The purpose of the sen-
tencing guidelines remain
the same, which is to
equalize things, bring some
uniformity in sentencing,"
Buxman said.

A white bison calf walks
July 18 in a field at the Mo-

white bison, revered as a
symbol of peace and unity.
The calf was officially

GOSHEN, Conn. -
Dozens of Native Americans
wore the traditional garb of
their ancestors, sang songs
and beat drums on a western
Connecticut farm Saturday in
celebration of the birth of one
of the world's rarest animals
- a white bison.
The miracle calf was offi-
cially named Yellow Medicine
Dancing Boy at the elaborate
ceremony at the Mohawk
Bison farm in Goshen in the
state's northwestern hills. It
was born June 16 at the farm
of fourth-generation farmer
Peter Fay.
Many Native Americans
consider white bison a sym-
bol of hope and unity; some
consider their births sacred
events. Experts say white
bison are as rare as one in
10 million.

Boy is not an albino, and Fay
said DNA testing confirmed
the animal's bloodlines are
pure and there was no inter-

Lakota tribe members from

gathered at the celebration.
Other tribal elders from the

Such meddling under-

intelligence circles: Despite
inarguable ties between the
U.S. and its closest ally in

statements from U.S. politi-

officials consider Israel to

In addition to what the for-

implicated in U.S. criminal

ture people in a virtual world?
"I sure hope not," Rapoport said.
"Part of our goal is to inspire peo-
ple to see these places in person."
As national park attendance con-
tinues to decline, officials welcome
this unique virtual visit as a way to
keep fans connected and inspire
others to experience the sights in
person.
"I often wish we could get the
word out on some of the park sys-
tem's lesser known wonders," said
Candace Tinkler, chief interpreter
at Redwoods, with its massive trees
that can live 2,000 years and soar
up to 350 feet. "This is a wonderful
opportunity for people around the
world to connect to these places."

analysis:


poverty to


plummet


by 2030

Associated Press
ASPEN, Colo. Poverty
across the planet will be vir-
tually eliminated by 2030,
with a rising middle class of
some two billion people
pushing for more rights and
demanding more resources,
the chief of the top U.S. in-
telligence analysis shop
said Saturday
If current trends con-
tinue, the 1 billion people
who live on less than a dol-
lar a day now will drop to
half that number in roughly
two decades, Christoper
Kojm said.
"We see the rise of the
global middle class going
from 1 to 2 billion," Kojm
said, in a preview of the Na-
tional Intelligence Council's
global forecast offered at
the Aspen Security Forum
in Colorado.
"Even if some of the most
dire predictions of eco-
nomic upheaval" in the
coming years prove accu-
rate, the intelligence coun-
cil still sees "several
hundred million people ...
entering the middle class,"
Kojm said.
The National Intelligence
Council analyzes critical na-
tional security issues draw-
ing from all U.S.
intelligence agencies.
The unclassified global
forecast, which is due out by
the end of the year, tries to
"describe drivers of future
behavior" to help govern-
ment agencies from the
White House to the State
Department plan future pol-
icy and programs, Kojm
said.
The rising middle class
will have little tolerance of
authoritarian regimes, com-
bined with the economic re-
sources and education
needed to challenge them.
"Governance will be in-
creasingly difficult in coun-
tries with rising incomes,"
he said, adding "middle-
class people have middle-
class values and
aspirations" for greater in-
dividual empowerment and
are now armed with social
media and other technolog-
ical tools to bring that about,
including the overthrow of
repressive governments.
Education levels are also
rising, with graduation rates
for women set to exceed that
of men if current trends
continue.
On the negative side,
Kojm predicted food de-
mand will rise by 50 percent
in the next 18 years, though
global population will only
rise from 7.1 to 8.3 billion.
Middle-class people want
middle-class diets, which


are heavy in meat, requiring
more water and grain to
produce, he said.

mountain



lodge



reborn

ALLEN G. BREED
Associated Press
BLOWING ROCK, N.C.
Sot long after he
and his brother
bought the
derelict Green
Park Inn at auction, Steve
Irace learned something
that astonished him.
"If you looked in the lobby or the din-
ing room or the bar, you saw the
columns," the Long Island, N.Y, native
says. "Those columns are single pieces
of solid American chestnut that run
from floor to ceiling and beyond."
With American chestnut selling for
$12 a board foot on the collector lum-
ber market, he realized the hotel "was
worth more dead than alive."
Luckily for the community, and for
history buffs, that's not why the broth-
ers bought this "Grande Dame of the
High Country"
"We feel that we're caretakers of a
national treasure," Irace said during a
recent visit to this Victorian jewel,
perched atop the Blue Ridge Moun-
tains in western North Carolina. "We
resurrected this property We brought
it back. We wouldn't let it die."
The property started as a boarding
house in 1882. The bulk of the grand
lodge you see today was constructed in
1891. When it opened, each room came
equipped with an electric bell to sum-
mon attendants and running water -
albeit, just a small spigot with which
guests could fill their washbasins.
The lobby walls are lined with photo-
graphs of famous guests Presidents
Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover
slept there, as did first lady Eleanor
Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe and oil ty-
coon John D. Rockefeller, America's
first billionaire. Annie Oakley gave
shooting lessons on what is now the
inn's parking lot, and Margaret
Mitchell wrote a portion of "Gone With
the Wind" during a sojourn there, Irace
says with pride.
But there was a time, not so long ago,
when the Green Park appeared
headed for the scrap market.
By the May 2010 auction, the hotel
was boarded up and bankrupt. Its spin-
dle-railing Queen Anne balconies were
rotten and sagging, the steam heating
system cold and leaking.
A man from nearby Deep Gap who
had done painting for the Iraces told
them it was up for sale. They were the
only bidders.
The brothers call themselves hotel
"affection-ados." This is the fourth his-
toric hotel property they've rehabili-
tated (the others are in Florida and
Vermont).
The hotel reopened in October 2010
with just 15 of the more than 80 rooms
available for guests. That number has
since more than tripled to 53 22 of
them with balconies.
With their high ceilings and large
windows, the rooms are classic and
airy The luxuriously comfortable beds
and other tasteful furnishings were all
manufactured right here in the Tar
Heel state, Irace says proudly
The rooms no longer come with
buzzers, but each is equipped with a
large flat-screen television and com-
plementary Wi-Fi. Vintage iron lighting
fixtures use energy-efficient compact
fluorescent bulbs.


Associated Press
At the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock, N.C., flags flap Feb. 25 under blue skies in a gentle Blue Ridge Mountain breeze. The
property started as a boarding house in 1882. A picture of actress Marilyn Monroe, one of the hotel's many famous
guests, hangs on a wall in the lobby of the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock, N.C.


"We could have made this like a bed
and breakfast, you know, and frou-frou
and cutesy and put, you know, 24 pil-
lows in every room and put chintz on
chintz, and cute little knickknacks and
gewgaws all over," Irace says. "If we
did that, we would have to charge more
for the rooms. And I wanted, if a work-
ing man wanted to come here and show
his kids how Grandma used to vaca-
tion, I wanted him to have that option."
The inn sits at 3,620 feet above sea
level, across U.S. 321 from North Car-
olina's first commercial tourist attraction
- the Blowing Rock. The bar is called
The Divide because the Eastern Conti-
nental Divide runs literally through it.
"If you were to spill a drink on one
half of the building, it would flow to the
Mississippi River, in theory," Irace
says. "And if you spilled a drink on the
other half of the room, it would flow to
the Atlantic Ocean."
A history room off the lobby contains
a collection of chamber pots, vintage
photographs, hardware from the origi-
nal doors and even the old service win-
dow from the days when the Green
Park housed the area's only post office.
Like most historic properties, the
Green Park is not without its tales of
tragedy Laura Green, a member of the
family that founded the place in the
19th century, hanged herself in Room
318, allegedly because her fiancee
didn't show up for her wedding day,
Irace says.
"Haunted Wautauga County, North


Carolina" has a chapter on the inn, al-
though author Tim Bullard declares at
the outset, "It is not haunted repeat,
not haunted. But it sure looks like it
is."
Executive chef, James Welch, had
stayed at the Green Park under its old
management and "never, ever" thought
he would someday be working there.
"Oh, it was disgusting," says Welch,
who got his start at 12, filleting chicken
in his mother's and grandmother's


r




_-I


Greensboro diner. "To be honest with
you, I didn't even want to take my
clothes off to sleep in the bed."
Welch, 47, a James Beard-nominated
chef, had done kitchen stints at Shera-
ton hotels in nearby Greensboro and
Miami before coming to Blowing Rock
18 years ago to help open a restaurant.
He was looking for a new challenge
when the Iraces recruited him to run

the inn's Laurel Room
Restaurant. They gutted the
old kitchen, spent $500,000
to bring it up to code and
opened it a year ago.
Welch and his staff turn
out delicate appetizers -


like mixed baby greens with
raspberries, goat cheese
and shaved chocolate and
hearty entrees such as
braised lamb shank with
wild mushroom risotto and
gremolata. And then there is
his signature dish: Espresso-
crusted, bittersweet choco-
late-stuffed beef tenderloin
with goat cheese pistachio
au gratin, French beans and


Bailey's Irish Cream sauce.
This dish came to him when,
while drafting the next day's
menu, he discovered two
Hershey's kisses his daughters
had given him that morning
melting in his shirt pocket.
Irace realized that he'd
committed to Welch without
ever having tasted his cook-
ing. After the first bite, he
breathed a huge sigh of re-


lief. "I grew up in New York
and I've traveled a lot... and
I've eaten in the finest restau-
rants in the world," he said.
"It knocked my socks off."
Despite the good food and
first-class renovation, things

a slow start. Irace admits

Dear Annie: I am a
grown man in my
early 30s, and I'm
still having problems with
my parents. My mother has
always favored my older sis-
ter, even though my sister
has been irresponsible her
entire life. She abuses alco-
hol and drugs, but my
mother won't acknowledge
it and blames me for any al-
tercation we have. My father
is too timid to challenge her.
No matter what I have ac-
complished in my life, I've
never been good enough. My
sister, meanwhile, can be
quiet one moment and
screaming the next. I know
it's the drugs, but my par-
ents refuse to believe it.
The problem
now is that they
are treating my
teenage son the
same way they
treat me. My sis-
ter screams at
him, and my
mother defends
her, saying my
son must some-
how be provok-
ing his aunt. My
son loves his
grandparents, ANNI
but even he re- MAILI
alizes it's neces-
sary to keep his distance.
I have spoken to my par-
ents about their treatment
of my son, but nothing changes.
In fact, my mother says it's
my fault. It's hard to lose my
family, but I have no idea how
else to deal with this other
than avoiding them forever.
Do I keep subjecting my son
and myself to this in the hope
things will change? Heart-
broken Without My Family.

Dear Heartbroken: Things
probably aren't going to
change, so keeping your dis-
tance is best not only for
you, but for your son. That
doesn't necessarily mean
cutting off the family en-
tirely Your son could learn
how to cope with his diffi-
cult relatives by under-
standing that their behavior
has nothing to do with him.
Dear Annie: I am a recent
widower after being mar-
ried for 57 years. I have met
a wonderful, warm, affec-
tionate widow with whom I
have fallen in love. How-
ever, she thinks I am just
lonely and looking for a
stand-in for my late wife. I
cannot seem to convince her
that memories
should not stand in
the way of our fu-
ture happiness.
Any thoughts? -

Dear E.: You
might be rushing
things a bit. If you
are a "recent wid-
ower," your female
friend may be
right that you are
lonely and confus-

Celebrate the Best in Beauty...


Abitare Salon & Day Spa has celebrated their 20 year
journey within Citrus County, a journey which has
included being named as Citrus County's Best of the Best
by the Citrus County Clit.ni ., as well as one of the
nation's Top 200 salon's by Salon Today, a major accom-
plishment for the local salon. Abitare's owner, Angela
Oliverio, is excited about how far the business has come
over the past 20 years and is actively planning the new
changes and growth for its future.
Abitare (an Italian verb meaning: "to live") was first
established in Citrus County in 1991 as a European spa
that offered customers a skincare clinic and massage ther-
apy. Capitalizing on the fact of the lack of a salon & day
spa in the area at the time, the business expanded its serv-
ices two years later to become just that. "We were thrilled
to bring the concept of the day spa & salon to Citrus
County" Oliverio says.
In 2000, Abitare moved and expanded to its current day
location added along with it the latest in state-of-the-art
salon equipment, products, and services. Today they are
once again updating their space, recognizing in fun that
"even Spa's need a facelift with time". The "facelift"
includes renovations in d6cor, an upcoming new logo, and
staying current with simple additions, such as offering free


WiFi. Part of Abitare's success has been embracing change
to stay in the now, all while holding close to its original
mission of great service.
Abitare's success became most apparent when Oliverio
aligned with the Aveda brand several years ago, a widely
recognized "green" beauty company whose products and
hair colors are derived from 98% flowers and plants and
whose mission is one of giving back to Society. Service
providers stay current with advance classes at The Aveda
Institute in Tampa.
One important aspect of both companies point of differ-
ence is the collaboration of the fashion of beauty and per-
sonalized wellness blended with each service offered. For
instance, they welcome their customers as they would a
guest in their own homes. "Guests" are offered Aveda's
comforting tea, an Aveda foot bath ritual before Spa serv-
ices, and complimentary Aveda stress-relieving services
which including hand or scalp treatments when receiving a
Salon service.
In January 2008, Angela opened a second independent
location at The Plantation Golf Resort known as "The Spa
at Plantation." This location welcomes both locals and
Hotel guests for all of their Aveda services. Most recently
the Spa is excited about the recent acquisition of the


Plantation Resort by Scout Real Estate Group, who pro-
vides guests with unique, high quality experiences, while
celebrating the local character of the communities they
operate in, minimizing the impact on the environment.
The mission of service shared by both Spa's doesn't end
with the services they provide their guests, but extends
through the support of several charitable organizations
such as participation in Earth Month fund raising for the
Gulf Restoration Network, as well as coordinating an
annual Breast Cancer Awareness Fund raiser for the Breast
Cancer Research Foundation founded by Estee Lauder
(Aveda's parent Company) Abitare also supports the Locks
for Love organization by offering complimentary cuts with
mail out service of the donated hair for the making of wigs
for children who have lost their hair while battling Cancer,
thus further supporting a philosophy of "an artist hand
with a servants heart". '


For more information call Abitare at (352) 563-0011
or The Spa at Plantaion at (352) 795-1464. Services and
prices vary per location.

"A Doctor's Confession to Citrus County "

And why, despite it all, I still do what I do...


Dear friend,
Confessions are tough. Real
tough. But sometimes, a
confession can set the record
straight, and I want to give credit
where credit is due. Before I talk
about my confession, let me say a
few things first.
Years ago something happened
to me that changed my life forever.
Let me tell you my story...
I did not start my career as a
chiropractor until later in life. My first
love and career
was woodworking.
I was a craftsman
and artist for 15
years until tragedy
struck. One day,
working alone in
the shop, a stack
of plywood fell on I
top of my head, -
crushing me into
the ground. I was j .
trapped! After .
what felt like an
eternity, someone
found me and
helped me out
from under the pile of wood. I could
barely stand or walk for weeks. I
was unable to work, so I went to the
medical doctor. He prescribed pain
pills and muscles relaxers which
helped some. I felt great mentally,
but was still unable to do any
physical work because of the pain.
After weeks of medication,
without much improvement, one of
my clients told me about the local
chiropractor, who had helped him
get rid of his back pain. I decided
to give him a chance, 'what did I
have to lose?' I hobbled into his
office; he took x-rays, put me on
electrical muscle stimulation
therapy, and adjusted my spine.
This made me feel better! At first I
was unsure, but after a few
treatments, I was pain-free and


back to work! I am forever indebted
to him for what he did for me.
It wasn't very long after returning
to work when I had a second acci-
dent, whereby I cut my thumb a lit-
tle shorter! Then a week later, I
had a table saw injury. After that,
my loving wife suggested that I
change my career to something
safer. Something I could do into my
golden years with all my limbs
intact! The chiropractic treatment I
received for my injury greatly inter-
ested me, so I
checked into it. I
enjoyed working
with my hands
and helping peo-
ple, so chi-
ro p ra ct i c
seemed to be a
perfect fit.
S- Once I returned
to school, I
found that
chiropractors
were respected
physicians in the
community. They
performed
exams, x-rays, and diagnosed a
multitude of conditions. They also
used many different conservative
care therapies to help people get
out of pain without the use of
medication or surgery. Over the
next six years (since I already had
my two year degree) I studied
science, anatomy and physiology,
physics, pathology, physical
diagnosis, x-ray and spinal
adjusting. I enjoyed school
thoroughly.
I'm no longer an artist working
with wood, now I'm a clinician
working with pain. I still use my
hands, but instead of working with
wood, I get to work with patients.
My skills are used to find the
source of a patient's pain and
correct it. It's satisfying to be able


to assist patients with their
problems. Patients often enter the
office discouraged, suffering, and
sometimes desperate, but leave
happy, pain free, and excited about
their care.
Now people come to see me
with their back problems,
headaches, migraines, neck pain,
shoulder/arm pain, carpal tunnel
syndrome, whiplash from car
accidents, numbness in limbs,
athletic injuries, just to name a few.
Several times a day patients
thank me for helping them with
their health problems, but I can't
really take the credit. My
confession is that I've never healed
or fixed anyone or anything.
I perform a gentle spinal
adjustment to remove nerve
pressure or interference. The body
responds by healing itself. It's as
simple as that!
Being a chiropractor can be
tough. There is a host of so-called
experts out there telling people a
lot of ridiculous things about my
profession. Things that are just not
true. Fortunately, research studies
speak for themselves, one Virginia
study that showed that over 90% of
patients who saw a chiropractor
were satisfied with their care and
results. That's just incredible!
Forty-eight million Americans no
longer have health insurance, and
those who do, have found that their
benefits are reduced. That's where
chiropractic comes in. Many
people find that they actually save
money on their health care
expenses by seeing a chiropractor.
Studies have shown that
chiropractic may double your
immune capacity, naturally without
drugs. The immune system helps
fight colds, the flu, and other
sicknesses to prevent regular
doctor visits. This is especially
important if you are self-employed.


You Can Benefit from an
Amazing Offer- It shouldn't cost
you an arm and a leg to correct
your health. When you bring in this
article (by August 15, 2012) you
will receive my entire new patient
exam for $29. That's with
consultation, exam, complete
history, x-rays of one body region,
report of findings....the whole ball
of wax. This exam could cost you
$170 elsewhere.
The law says that I must tell you
that the patient and any other
person responsible for payment
has a right to refuse to pay, cancel
payment, or be reimbursed for
payment for any other service,
examination, or treatment which is
performed as a result of and within
72 hours of responding to the
advertisement for the free,
discounted fee, or reduced fee
service, examination, or treatment.
Great care at a great fee... I
hope that there's no
misunderstanding about the quality
of care just because I have a lower
exam fee. You'll get great care at a
great fee. I am a graduate of
Logan College of Chiropractic and
I am licensed by the Florida
Medical Board. I've been entrusted
to take care of tiny babies to the
elderly. I just have that low exam
fee to help more people who need
care and want to find out more
about chiropractic.
Our office is both friendly and
warm. My assistants Chris and
Dominique are helpful and
informative. We try our best to
make you feel at home. We have a
wonderful service, at an
exceptional fee.
Our office is NECK & BACK
CARE CENTER and we're located
at 912 Hwy 44, Crystal River,
across from NAPA auto parts. Our
phone number is 352-563-5055.
Call today for an appointment. We
may be able to help you!

Vermont gives residents reins to Twitter account


Associated Press


MONTPELIER, Vt -Vermont's
tourism department is giving state
residents reins to a Twitter account
to get the word out about the state.
Each week, a different Vermon-
ter will take over the Twitter han-
dle THISISVT, posting glimpses of
life in Vermont for seven days.


The thinking is that as more
people become dependent on
consumer-generated content such
as product reviews or trip advice,
the Twitter postings will work to
draw people to Vermont.
"We thought this was really
kind of a cool way to create that
user-generated review of why Ver-
mont is a great place to live, work


and visit," said Steve Cook,
deputy commissioner of the Ver-
mont Department of Tourism and
Marketing.
But Vermont wants to avoid the
controversy that Sweden's Twitter
account has stirred after a woman
posted comments about Jews. To
keep the tweets inoffensive and
positive, Vermont's tourism de-

Sunday PUZZLER


apartment said it is requiring resi-
dents to explain why they want to
participate and what they would
talk about, and to provide the state
with their twitter handle.
The account debuted this week
with Ken Millman, who lives in Al-
burgh and works in Burlington,
tweeting about his commute,
cows, fishing in Lake Champlain


and visiting his mother in Quebec.
"I don't care how cliched. I love
cows. Love 'em," he posted Thurs-
day with a photo of himself lying
in a hammock in a farm field sur-
rounded by cows. Later he posted:
"Sure there's a lot of stuff you can
do in VT. I must admit, however,
that this is also a great place to do
nothing at all."

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Rude surprise: French fed up with own incivility


Associated Press


PARIS It's a July
evening on the terrace of
the legendary Cafe Flore.
A coiffed woman sips
chilled wine, another sa-
vors her chocolate eclair.
The one thing to com-
plete this picture of
Parisian life? A dash of
French rudeness.
It comes from the waiter,
who snootily turns away a
group of tourists: "There's
no point waiting," he
shrugs, even though there
are many empty tables.


"No space outside."
Such rituals of rudeness
have long been accepted
by visitors as part of the
price of enjoying such a
beautiful city as Paris. But
it seems the French them-
selves, who over centuries
have turned rudeness into
an art form, have become
fed up with their own inci-
vility, according to recent
polls and publicity cam-
paigns.
There's a fabled history
of French rudeness from
Napoleon, who called the
English a "nation of shop-


keepers," to former Presi-
dent Nicolas Sarkozy, who
infamously snarled at a
voter: "Get lost, poor jerk."
Now, bad manners and
aggressive behavior top
the list of causes of stress
for the French, even
higher than unemploy-
ment or the debt crisis,
says pollster IPSOS. A total
of 60 percent cited rude-
ness as their No. 1 source
of stress in a survey last
year on social trends.
"We're so rude," admit-
ted 34-year-old French
teacher Stephane Gomez,


as he exited a Paris metro
station. "France lacks the
civic sense you find in
Anglo-Saxon countries."
But Paris's public trans-
port authority is leading
the fight-back in a sum-
mer-long publicity cam-
paign against rudeness.
Billboards depicting
Frenchmen with animal
heads have dominated
metro stations; they target
passengers who are rude
to staff and push and
shove. "If you shove five
people getting onboard,"
the posters say, "it won't


make us set off faster." Bus
ads read: "One bonjour
doesn't cost a penny, and it
changes your day."
In France, the world's
most visited country, rude-
ness is also a concern for
tourism companies es-
pecially as France feels
the bite of the financial
crisis.
Atout France, the coun-
try's tourism development
agency launched a sum-
mer campaign in regions
where tourism is suffering
to promote service quality.
Where English-speaking


tourists were once greeted
with raised eyebrows and
a Gallic shrug, more and
more French in the service
industry speak English.
That's just one of the
many ways in which
France is changing.
Earlier this week on a
high-speed train, there
were puzzled smiles from
passengers after a decid-
edly un-French loud-
speaker address:
"Hello, welcome, please
greet your neighbor, and
may you adopt a zen
attitude."


Too much of anything


can get annoying


Remember a few years ago when
term limits were all the rage? The
idea was that every few election cy-
cles, politicians would have to run for a dif-
ferent office or go back home to steal money
the old-fashioned way, by lobbying or lawyering
If term limits are such a good idea for
politicians, why aren't they a good idea for
other professions? Why not have term lim-
its for entertainers? Three tele-
vision sitcoms and, boom, that's
it. You could make movies, tour
in summer stock, make a TV
movie of the week or even get a
real job, but no more TV sitcoms. ,
It should be against the law .I
for any movie to have more than
two sequels. The first three
"Star Wars" that were released
were fine, but that should have Ji
ended it. We didn't need the
other three. MUll
Movie stars should be al-
lowed to get divorced only three times.
That's enough; leave some stars and star-
lets available for the rest of us.
If movie and TV stars haven't worked in
the acting business for a few years, they au-
tomatically should become normal people
once again. No more screaming headlines
that read "'Titanic' actress killed on safari."
And then you find out that she played the
fourth woman in lifeboat No. 6 and didn't
have a speaking part
Recording artists should be allowed only
one "Greatest Hits" album. The second
compilation would have to be called "Not-
So-Greatest Hits." The third one must be
called "My Manager Robbed Me" or "I Wasted
All My Money on Drugs, So This Is My 401(k)."


Only one or two anniversary celebrations
of dubious historic events should be al-
lowed. We need another bogus Woodstock
anniversary like we need another missing
10-year-old. The same thing with reality
show reunions or "all-star" shows.
There should be a limit on how many
times we have to watch the same advertise-
ments. That cute little baby who trades
stocks in his crib? The first few
hundred times it ran, it was
Sc cute. The second thousand
times, not so much.
Is that the purpose of adver-
tising? To make the customer
cranky? If you haven't changed
your car insurance to the com-
pany with the Cockney lizard or
the woman with the fire-engine-
jM red lipstick by now, what is it
going to take?
.LEN At some point, advertisers will
figure out it would be cheaper
to hire mob enforcers to come to your door
and threaten to break your legs unless you
change your insurance company than to re-
peatedly run the same ad. Sorry about your
legs, but why should the rest of us have to
suffer because you're being so stubborn?
If pundits think term limits are a good
idea for politicians, why aren't they a good
idea for pundits? Let's say eight years of
punditry is enough. Then you have to go get
a real job. Or run for office.

acrylic and the finish is slightly characterized. This denture has a one year

* Our Elite denture includes Bioform plastic teeth or portrait teeth, which
is a high grade tooth used by many of the well known doctors in our area.

Wenger returns to competition after

sufferingfrom bout of pneumonia


LARRY BUGG
Correspondent
CRYSTAL RIVER Tim
Wenger was able to enjoy Satur-
day's Twilight Triathlon at Fort
Island Gulf Beach.
The 2012 Citrus High School


graduate and 2011 Chronicle
Male Cross Country Runner of
the Year took 11th in the evening
competition. He had a time of
52:49.5.
"I felt good," said Wenger, who
had his senior track season cut
short because of pneumonia. "It


was a fun race. I am healed of the
pneumonia ... My run was really
good. I surprised myself in the
swimming. It's very competitive.
The winner, Zach Mori, 22, of
Palm Harbor, won with a 49:36.
"This is my first time (at Crystal
River)," Mori said. "I wish it was-
n't a low tide, but other than that,
it's great. It was murky. I like the
scenery I'm going to come back."
Second-place finisher Steven
Miflin, who had a time of 50:49,
ran his second race of the day He


competed in a triathlon Saturday
morning in St. Petersburg.
"I'm tired," the Leesburg resi-
dent said. "I feel good that I did
both races. My times were about
10 seconds apart between the two
races. I was able to keep the same
intensity. I did the sprint series. I
will be back to do this again."
The female winner, Niki Huels-
man, came all the way from Bis-
mark, N.D. She is training at the
triathlon center in Clermont She
had a time of 56:16.

mer," Huelsman said. "It feels
good to finally take first. I love it

happy to finish. He had been
sidelined with a knee injury and
liked being back in competition.
"It was warm," he said. "It is the

head



coach

Vaughn to

lead Orlando

in new season
Associated Press
ORLANDO The
Magic's latest makeover
continues to have a
youthful feel.
Orlando announced
the hiring of Jacque
Vaughn, 37, as its next
head coach Saturday,
bringing the latest 30-
something member to a
basketball operations de-
partment following the
hiring of 30-year-old gen-
eral manager Rob Henni-
gan last month. He will be
formally introduced at a
news conference Monday
Vaughn becomes the
10th coach in team history
and replaces Stan Van
Gundy, who was fired May
21 despite compiling a
259-135 regular-season
record, franchise-best .657
winning percentage and a
31-28 playoff record.
"As we navigated
through our coaching
search, we quickly saw
that Jacque's spirit and
leadership strengths
made him the clear
choice," Hennigan said in
a statement "We are con-
fident that his diligence,
attention to detail and
communication style will
help establish the bedrock
of our culture moving for-
ward. His commitment
and passion to building a
sustainable program will
help steer our organiza-
tion for years to come."
Hennigan chose
Vaughn from a finalists'
pool that included
Phoenix Suns develop-
ment coach Lindsey
Hunter and former De-
troit Pistons head coach
and current Philadelphia
76ers assistant Michael
Curry
A 12-year NBA player
before retiring in 2009
with San Antonio,
Vaughn's career included
80 games for the Magic in

the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Michael Phelps reacts after placing fourth.

Lochte wins 400 IM for America's first gold medalk Phelps finishes fourth


PAUL NEWBERRY
AP National Writer
LONDON Ryan Lochte
turned his much-anticipated
duel with Michael Phelps into a
blowout, pulling away to win the
Olympic 400-meter individual
medley by more than 3 seconds
Saturday night Even more stun-
ning: Phelps didn't win any
medal at all.
After barely qualifying for the
evening final in a performance
that hinted at trouble ahead,
Phelps struggled to a fourth-place
finish and was denied his 17th ca-
reer Olympic medal. When it was
done, he could barely pull him-
self out of the pool.
"It was just a crappy race,"
Phelps said. "I felt fine the first
200, then I don't know. They just
swam a better race than me, a
smarter race than me, and were
better prepared than me. That's
why they're on the medal stand."
Lochte took the gold with a
time of 4 minutes, 5.18 seconds.
Brazil's Thiago Pereira (4:08.86)
settled for silver, while Japan's
Kosuke Hagino (4:08.94) claimed
the bronze beating Phelps by a
fairly comfortable 34-hundredths
of a second for the last spot on the
podium.
It was the first time since the

Michael Phelps
who finished fourth in the 400-meter individual medley.


2000 Sydney Games, when
Phelps was a 15-year-old un-
known who qualified in just one
event, that he didn't win at least
a bronze in an Olympic race.
Since then, he was 16-of-16 -14
golds and two bronzes.
Lochte climbed out of the pool
with a big smile, waving to the
crowd and looking about as fresh
as he did at the start. He had


predicted this would be his year
and, for the first race of the
Olympics at least, he was right
on the mark.
"I think I'm kind of in shock
right now," he said. As for
Phelps, "I know he gave it every-
thing he had. That's all you can
ask for."

homered among his four hits and drove in
four runs, Chad Billingsley took a two-hit-
ter into the eighth inning and the Los An-
geles Dodgers beat the San Francisco

Hanley Ramirez had three RBIs in
helping the Dodgers beat San Francisco
for the second straight day to pull within a
game of the NL West-leading Giants.
Billingsley (6-9) drove in a run for Los
Angeles with a sacrifice fly. He gave up
leadoff doubles to Buster Posey in the

skid.
Nationals 4, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE Wisconsin-native Jor-
dan Zimmermann pitched his first game
against Milwaukee, and his teammates
hit three home runs in the Washington

born in Auburndale and played at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Tyler Clippard pitched the ninth for his
19th save.
Pirates 4, Astros 3
HOUSTON Rod Barajas hit a
tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and
the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past Hous-
ton 4-3, sending the Astros to their club-
record 12th straight loss.
Wandy Rodriguez pitched six innings in
his Pittsburgh debut, allowing three runs
and six hits with five walks against his for-

flyballand Yanks lose

Associated Press

NEW YORK Curtis Granderson
misplayed Pedro Ciriaco's ninth-in-
ning flyball into a go-ahead triple,
and the Boston Red Sox beat the
New York Yankees 8-6 Saturday
night after Mark Teixeira had tied
the score with a two-run homer off
nemesis Vicente Padilla.
Down 6-1, the Yankees closed in
the fifth on Jayson Nix's two-run
homer off Jon Lester and Derek
Jeter's RBI grounder.
After Teixeira's homer in the
eighth, Rafael Soriano (2-1) walked
Jacoby Ellsbury with one out in the
ninth and Ciriaco hit a fly that could
have been caught. Granderson broke
in, then went back and turned the
wrong way before the ball dropped to
his right-field side as he fell. Dustin
Pedroia followed with a sacrifice fly
Andrew Miller (3-1) got one out for
the win, just the second for Boston in
eight games against the Yankees this
year.
AMERICAN LEAGUE

Blue Jays 5, Tigers 1
TORONTO Edwin Encarnacion,
Colby Rasmus and Yunel Escobar home-
red off Detroit newcomer Anibal Sanchez,
leading the Toronto Blue Jays over the
Tigers 5-1.
Sanchez, acquired from Miami earlier
in the week along with infielder Omar In-
fante, gave up five runs and eight hits in
six-plus innings in his Detroit debut.
Mariners 4, Royals 3
SEATTLE Kevin Millwood pitched
effectively into the seventh inning, Jesus
Montero hit a two-run homer and the
Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City
Royals 4-3.
Millwood (4-8) gave up one unearned
run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck
out three, walked one and was aided by
two excellent plays from shortstop Bren-
dan Ryan.
Athletics 6, Orioles 1
BALTIMORE Yoenis Cespedes and
Chris Carter hit two-run homers to back
an effective pitching performance by Bar-
tolo Colon, and the Oakland Athletics
beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 for their
ninth win in 10 games.
Jemile Weeks had three hits and scored
twice for the surging As, who are on
course for the best July in franchise his-
tory. They're 18-3 (.857) this month, and
need only one victory in the next three
games to finish with a better winning per-
centage than the 1931 club (26-7, .788).
Oakland can reach the mark by com-
pleting a three-game sweep Sunday.
Twins 12, Indians 5
MINNEAPOLIS Samuel Deduno
pitched seven strong innings for his sec-
ond major league win and Josh Willing-
ham hit his 27th homer of the season,
leading the Minnesota Twins to a 12-5
win over the Cleveland Indians.
Deduno (2-0) allowed two hits and
struck out a career-high six in his fourth
big league start. The Twins routed the In-
dians for the second consecutive night.
White Sox 5, Rangers 2
ARLINGTON, Texas--Adam Dunn hit
his major league-leading 31st home run,

Robert Garrigus reacts to the crowd after finishing 18 holes
during the Canadian Open golf tournament Saturday at the
Hamilton Golf and County Club in Ancaster, Ontario.


GolfBRIEFS


Garrigus sets record and takes lead in Canada
ANCASTER, Ontario Robert Garrigus broke the 54-hole
scoring record at the Canadian Open that was set more than a
half-century ago by Arnold Palmer.
His next job is to finish like the King.
On rain-softened greens that took the bite out of Hamilton Golf
& Country Club, Garrigus used his power and some timely putts
Saturday for a 6-under 64 that gave him a one-shot lead over
William McGirt, who lost ground with a 66.
Garrigus was at 16-under 194, one shot better than Palmer in
1955 at Weston Golf & Country Club, and matched two years ago
by Dean Wilson at St. George's Golf & Country Club.
Palmer went on to win in 1955 for the first of his 62 PGA Tour
titles. Garrigus will be going for his second.

Lewis, Park share lead at Evian Masters
PARIS -American Stacy Lewis made a birdie on the last hole
to share the lead with South Korea's Inbee Park after the third
round of the Evian Masters on Saturday.
Lewis, who is chasing her third LPGA Tour title of the year, had
a 1-over 73 to finish the day at 11 under. The overnight leader had
two bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine before the
birdie on the 18th.
Park, who was three shots behind Lewis in third place
overnight, had four birdies and two bogeys for a 70.
Karrie Webb (67), Natalie Gulbis (68) and 17-year-old amateur
player Hyo Joo Kim (69) of South Korea are one shot behind the
leaders.
Cristie Kerr had a 67 to finish two shots back. Cheyenne
Woods, niece of Tiger Woods, had a 70 to tie for 19th.

Langer leads by 1 stroke at Senior British Open
TURNBERRY, Scotland Bernard Langer shot a 4-under 66
Saturday for a one-stroke lead over Fred Couples heading into
the final round of the Senior British Open.
Couples had seven birdies in a round of 64, while Peter Fowler
finished with a 65 to trail the leader by two shots.
"I'm just happy to be in the hunt with 18 holes to play," said
Langer, who won this title two years ago at Carnoustie. "There's a
lot of guys in with a chance, so I know I'll have to shoot one of the
lower scores to win."
Americans John Cook (66) and overnight leader Gary Hallberg
(73) joined England's Barry Lane (66) at four shots back.
Tom Watson (66) and Tom Lehman (73) were seven shots be-
hind Langer.

Wiesberger wins Austrian Open by 3 shots
ATZENBRUGG, Austria Bernd Wiesberger had a 7-under 65
to win the Austrian Open by three strokes Saturday for his second
European Tour title.
The Austrian, who was four strokes off the lead going into the
final round, finished with an overall 19-under 269. Shane Lowry
(66) of Ireland and Thomas Levet (68) of France tied for second.
Wiesberger won the Ballantine's Championship in April.
"It's fantastic," Wiesberger said. "My first win in Korea was
great. But this victory in front of my home crowd can only be
topped by winning a major."
Overnight leader Thorbjorn Olesen dropped to fifth place after
the Dane shot 74 with three bogeys on the back nine.

Sadler penalty hands
Indy win to Keselowski
INDIANAPOLIS- Brad Ke-

jumping a late restart, then held
on to win Saturday in a contro-
versial finish to the first NASCAR
Nationwide Series race at Indi-

Sadler passed Keselowski on
a restart with 18 laps to go, but
officials ruled Sadler went too
early and black-flagged him.
Sadler stayed on the track for
several laps, apparently hoping
officials would reconsider the
penalty, before finally coming in

MEN'S COMPETITIONS



U.S. gymnasts cruise to lead


American men in

first after qualifing;

Britain in second

NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer

LONDON The Americans have
insisted for months they can con-
tend for the Olympic title in men's
gymnastics.
Another night like this, and they
won't need to say a word. The color
of their medals will do all the talk-
ing for them.
While perennial gymnastics pow-
erhouses China and Japan bobbled
and wobbled their way through
qualifying Saturday, the Americans
proved they've got the big skills to
back up their big hopes. They didn't
count a single fall, and their final
score of 275.342 is almost three
points ahead of surprising Britain.
"We're going to do everything we
can to make it finish like that," team
captain Jonathan Horton said. "I
was actually joking ... earlier, 'Can
we just get the medals now?' But
we've got one more day to go, and
we're pumped about it"
The team final is Monday Since
2000, when scoring began starting
anew in the final, only one first-day
winner has failed to finish atop the
podium.
Japan, the heavy favorite coming
into the meet, is third (270.503) after
several uncharacteristic errors by
three-time world champion Kohei
Uchimura. Defending Olympic
champion China, which has won
the past five world titles, is fourth
(269.985) after its splat-filled day
"We studied a lot about the Amer-
ican team already," said Japanese
coach Yasunori Tachibana, who

sent a scouting party to last month's
Olympic trials. "So we knew it was
going to be pretty tough."
Germany and Russia compete
later Saturday
Unlike qualifying, when teams
get to drop their lowest score, there
will be no margin of error in Mon-
day's final. Teams compete three
gymnasts on each event, and all
three scores count. Botch one rou-
tine, and it could be the difference
between going home with a gold
medal or a souvenir T-shirt.
But the Americans believe
they're actually better built for that

Kazakhstan's Alexandr Vinokourov celebrates as he
crosses the finish line to win the Men's Road Cycling race

Rigoberto Uran of Colombia took silver, with Alexander

LONDON Alexandr
Vinokourov of Kazakhstan
is leaving the Olympics in
style.
He won the cycling road
race Saturday by prevail-
ing in a two-man sprint to
the finish after favorite
Mark Cavendish dropped
from contention.
Vinokourov, who served
a two-year ban after testing
positive for blood doping
during the 2007 Tour de
France, has said he will re-
tire from cycling after the
London Games.
"It's just unbelievable,"

have three more chances at
a threepeat before he's
done in London, having also
won the 200 individual med-
ley, plus the 100 and 200 but-
terfly, atAthens and Beijing.
But this was shocking, to-

medals in Athens, then a
record eight in Beijing to
break Mark Spitz's Olympic
record.
Phelps fell behind right

Vinokourov broke away
from the leading group
about six miles from the
finish with Rigoberto Uran
of Colombia. Vinokourov
then accelerated going
down The Mall outside
Buckingham Palace with
300 yards to go to leave
Uran behind.
"It was up-down, up-
down, too many people,"
Vinokourov said. "It was
very dangerous. I knew that

would have had no chance
in the sprint I finish my ca-
reer with this victory"


his trademark stroke. From
there, it was all Lochte. He
stretched his margin in the
backstroke and breaststroke,
then cruised to the gold in
the freestyle, a good three
body lengths ahead of the
rest of the field.
"It's frustrating, that's all
I can say. It's pretty upset-
ting," Phelps said. "The
biggest thing now is to try to
look forward. I have a bunch
of other races, and hope-
fully we can finish a lot bet-
ter than how we started."
Other memorable races
on opening night in the pool
were:

wen of China set a world

this performance will only fuel
their confidence that they can join
Bart Conner and his Golden Gang of
'84 as the only U.S. teams to win the
Olympic title.
Danell Leyva and John Orozco
posted the highest individual scores,
and the team had the highest total
on floor exercise and high bar. They
had only three falls the entire day,
and counted only four scores below
15. Every American Leyva,
Orozco, Horton, Jake Dalton and
Sam Mikulak is in the running to
make at least one individual final.


ARCHERY
Italy wins first gold
ever in team event
LONDON Italy won the
gold medal in men's team
archery at the Olympics on Sat-
urday, beating the U.S. by one
point on the final shot.
The Americans' silver was
the country's first medal of the
games. South Korea took
bronze.
Michele Frangilli, Marco Gali-
azzo and Mauro Nespoli
hugged and raised their hands
in celebration after the final

TENNIS
Donald Young loses in

WIMBLEDON, England -
Donald Young remained win-
less since February when he
lost his Olympic debut Saturday
against Andreas Seppi of Italy
6-4, 6-4.
The defeat extended the
American's losing streak to 15
matches. He's 2-18 in 2012 but
is still ranked 60th.
Roddick and Isner lose

WIMBLEDON, England -
Andy Roddick and John Isner

She won in 4:28.43, breaking
the mark of 4:29.45 by Aus-

American Elizabeth Beisel

Xuanxu grabbed the bronze.
Sun Yang flirted with a

in 3:40.14, just off the mark
of 3:40.07 by Germany's Paul
Biedermann in a rubber-
ized suit three years ago.
South Korea's Park Tae-

ist in 3:42.06, fortunate even

ROWING
Germany, US advance
to men's eight final
The United States and Ger-
many won heats in the blue-
riband men's eight, leaving a
host of top crews to vie for
places in the final.
Only one crew progresses
from each heat. The Germans,
unbeaten in three years, fin-
ished a half length ahead of
Britain at Dorney Lake. Olympic
champion Canada came in last
in a race fit for the final.
The U.S. beat Australia by a
half length to reach Wednes-
day's final, which should be one
of the regatta highlights.
EQUESTRIAN
Australia ahead of US,
Germany in dressage
Australia took the early lead
in Olympic equestrian evening
at Greenwich Park, with Ger-
many and the United States
close behind.
Half the 50 riders rode their
dressage test that starts the
three-phase competition, which
includes cross-country and
show jumping.
In the individual competition,
Germany's Ingrid Klimke had a
sparkling dressage test to score
39.3 penalty points, followed by
teammate Dirk Schrade on
King Artus with 39.8 and Mary
King of Britain with 40.9 on Im-
perial Cavalier.


"Now is when everyone is finally,
completely realizing how much we
believe in it and today was definite
huge proof of that," Leyva said.
The day didn't look so promising
at the start, when Horton went spin-
ning off pommel horse, his and
the team's worst event. But the
Americans have an unshakable be-
lief in themselves, and they barely
blinked at the miscue. Mikulak,
Leyva and Orozco followed with
stylish sets more typical of the
Japanese or Chinese, and wound up
finishing their toughest event in de-
cent shape.


Several teams, including fa-
vorites Britain and New Zealand,
did not have a complete rotation
of three riders, so team stand-
ings are still preliminary.
American riders included
Boyd Martin of Cochranville,
Pa., scoring 50.7 penalty points
on Otis Barbotiere; Karen
O'Connor of The Plains, Va.,
earning 48.2 on Mr. Medicott;
and Tiana Coudray of Ojai,

WOMEN'S COMPETITIONS



U.S. overcomes sloppy play US beats Colombia
n A *AI


Americans beat

Croatia 81-56

in basketball

DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
LONDON The U.S.
women's basketball team
looked nothing like the
squad that is expected to
dominate the Olympics.
Maybe it was first-game
nerves or a hangover from
the opening ceremonies. The
U.S. had to overcome a
sloppy performance Satur-
day before finally putting
away Croatia 81-56 in their
opener
Coach Geno Auriemma
had said he was hoping the
Americans could play a
style of basketball that
would entertain and help
grow the women's game in-
ternationally. That didn't
happen Saturday
"We have five players who
have never been in the
Olympics before so they are
going to be nervous. Every-
body was a little nervous,"
Auriemma said. "We're bet-
ter than we showed, but I
don't know that we're going
to be great right off the bat"
The U.S., which got back
to its hotel at 3 a.m. after the
opening ceremonies, strug-
gled for the first three quar-


ters before winning its
34th consecutive Olympic
contest.
"There was a little jitters,
probably a little sluggish-
ness," U.S. guard Sue Bird
said. "For the most part we
didn't finish off plays we
normally finish off. We al-
lowed a team that when
they get going are known to
spread out the floor and try
to hit as many 3s as they can,
stay with us."
The victory was far differ-
ent than the 54-point pound-
ing the Americans gave
Croatia a week earlier.
Despite missing its first 14
shots, Croatia hung tough
for the first 30 minutes be-
fore the Americans finally
could pull away
The U.S., which has dom-
inated its opponents en
route to the last four gold
medals, only led 53-49 early
in the fourth quarter before
a 16-0 run put the game out
of reach.
"Bottom line is this is the
Olympics," Bird said. "A win
is a win, regardless of how it
works. Beauty is you can
learn from it. Now we know
what we need to work on."
Angel McCoughtry started
the burst with consecutive
layups and Tamika Catch-
ings capped it with a three-
point play that made it
69-49. Swin Cash, who had-
n't played in the first few
quarters also had a three-
point play in the spurt.

3-U on soccer pitcn


Associated Press
GLASGOW, Scotland -
Megan Rapinoe cele-
brated her goal by reach-
ing into her sock and
pulling out a birthday note
for an injured teammate,
part of a dominant and
somewhat feisty perform-
ance that kept the U.S.
women's soccer team un-
beaten after two games at
the Olympics.
The Americans moved
closer to the quarterfinals
Saturday with a 3-0 win
over Colombia, peppering
the opponent's net from
the opening whistle of a
physical game. There was
no early letdown as
there had been three days
earlier in the come-from-
behind win over France -
and the only surprise was
that such a one-sided
match didn't yield a more
lopsided score.
Abby Wambach finally
broke the game open with
a goal in the 74th minute,
making her the Americans'
all-time leading scorer in
Olympic play Carli Lloyd,
back in the starting lineup
after an injury to Shannon
Boxx, scored in the 77th.

Hooker leads US to 3-1 win US women's team advances


Destinee Hooker had 21 points and
the United States held off late-charg-
ing South Korea 3-1 in their opening
match.
The fans at Earls Court chanted
"Des-tin-ee! Des-tin-ee!" at one point
as she dominated in the 25-19, 25-17,
20-25, 25-21 victory.
The U.S., which won the silver
medal in Beijing and is ranked No. 1 in
the world, jumped out to a 17-11 lead
in the first set after one of Hooker's
seemingly effortless spikes, helping
set the tone for the match.


Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings

for a third consecutive gold medal,

The second-ranked Menezes beat

Elisa Di Francisca completed an

Errigo beat three-time defending
champion Valentina Vezzali 15-12 in
the semifinals, denying her Italian
teammate a chance to become the
first female athlete to win individual
gold at four consecutive Olympics.
The 38-year-old Vezzali won a tense
battle for bronze, 13-12 against top-
ranked Nam Hyun-Hee of South Korea.

Wang wins weightlifting gold
LONDON Wang Mingjuan of
China won the first gold medal of the
Olympics weightlifting competition,
taking the women's 48-kilogram title
Saturday with a total weight of 205
kilograms.
The four-time world champion domi-
nated the competition, snatching 91
kilograms and lifting 114 kilograms in
the clean and jerk. Despite being a
top-level lifter for a decade, the 26-
year-old Wang had never competed in
the Olympics due to injuries.

Charlie Sheen
says he's sane
BEVERLY HILLS,
Calif. Charlie Sheen
said he's not insane
anymore.
Instead, these are good
days for the "Anger Man-
agement" star, he de-
clares,
with his
FX sit-

way
through
its initial

episode
Charlie run and
Sheen poised to
get an
order for 90 more.
Sheen told reporters
Saturday that the prospect
of continuing is as "excit-
ing as hell," and added
cheerily, "I don't think 90's
gonna be enough."
With the expected
pickup, FX plans to bring
aboard Sheen's dad, Mar-
tin Sheen, as a recurring
cast member He will play
the father of Charlie
Goodson, the anger-
management therapist
played by Charlie Sheen.
The veteran movie actor,
who also played Presi-
dent Jed Bartlet on the
drama series "The West
Wing," is guest-starring
on an '"Anger Manage-
ment" episode that airs
Aug. 16.
"I think that was the
best episode we did," his
son said.
Adding Sheen's father
to the series "will give an
extra dimension and
make it a multi-genera-
tional family show," FX
boss John Landgraf said
in making the announce-
ment.
The production sched-
ule would call for filming
a total of 100 episodes in
just two years. This kind
of cost-saving routine
means no time for re-
hearsals, said executive
producer Bruce Helford.
"The actors get the
lines, we see the scene,
the writers make
changes, the actors go to
makeup, cameras are
blocked, we come back
together and shoot the
scene," he explained.

The oldest of the black dolls on
display was sewn about 1850, said
curator Joyce Stamps of Framing-
ham, Mass., who put together the
exhibit at the federation's request.
Because cloth is fragile, most sur-
viving black cloth dolls date from
about 1870 during Reconstruc-
tion- and on. But records indicate
hundreds were sold at bazaars be-
fore the Civil War to raise money for
the abolitionist newspaper The Lib-
erator, textile historian Roben
Campbell said.
Interest in black cloth dolls from
the Victorian era and early 20th
century has grown in the past
decade, she said.
That's because of a 2007 exhibit
of dolls made from 1870 to 1930,
from the personal collection of an-
tiques dealer Pat Hatch of Harvard,
Mass., Stamps said. Campbell cu-
rated that exhibit, and Stamps said
she and other members of the Black
/Gold Doll Club of New England
helped with it.
"That was kind of the jumping-off
point," she said.
Stamps' exhibit at the convention
ranged from antiques to contempo-
rary dolls owned by Hatch, herself,
and a half-dozen other collectors.
Some were topsy-turvy dolls dat-
ing from the turn of the last century
They have no legs but two heads, one
white and one black; a two-sided
skirt flips to show one or the other
The story is that they were made
by black women working for white
families, and which head was
shown would depend on the race of
any adults in the room, said Stamps,
who is African-American.
"The children, be they black or
white, playing with them... it was like
they really weren't supposed to be
playing with each other," she said.
She created one of seven special
exhibits at the convention this past
week.
Others included dolls depicting
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II from


Antique black cloth dolls are rare be-
cause fabric is fragile and most of
the surviving dolls date from the late
19th century.
childhood to her diamond jubilee,
as well as her great-grandmother
Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee;
the artwork of Susan Beatrice
Pearse, who often painted little
girls playing with dolls; Louisiana
history in dolls; and friendship
dolls sent from Japan to the United
States in 1927.
Campbell said that when she
began work on the exhibit in 2005,
she had to dig deep for information
about black cloth dolls.
The first sold for The Liberator in
the early 1840s were made by an
African-American woman who
taught sewing to young black chil-
dren in Salem, Mass., where black
and white women worked together
in a women's anti-slavery society,
Campbell said.
As children, the author Louisa
May Alcott and her sisters owned
such a doll, most likely bought by
their fervently abolitionist father,
Bronson Alcott, said Campbell, who
works at the Fruitlands Museum on
the site of Bronson Alcott's short-
lived Transcendentalist commune.
Hatch had never even seen such
a doll until 1973 and thought it was
one of a kind, Campbell said. She
said Hatch had collected about 150
by 2005, and sales of the earlier
dolls are now more common.
Black cloth dolls from the 1870s
to 1890s can bring from hundreds to
thousands of dollars, with the de-
ciding factor being whether several
people want the same doll, said


Stuart Holbrook, president of The-
riault's Antique Doll Auctions of
Annapolis, Md. The auction house
took in $2.5 million at a pair of auc-
tions in New Orleans -$1.2 million
for all 900 items from a toy museum
in Davos, Switzerland, last Sunday,
and $1.3 million for about 300 an-
tique dolls auctioned Monday
"One which seems wonderful may
bring $300, and one which seems
equally as wonderful brings $3,000
for no rhyme or reason," he said.
For comparison, a brown-skinned
bisque doll made in France about
1890 and elaborately costumed as
an opera character sold for about
$42,000 in New Orleans, he said.
The doll from about 1850 in
Stamps' display is fashioned as a
boy Clothes sewn as part of the
body include a pair of knee-length
pants. Back then, only a few brave
women wore pants, and those
bloomers were baggy, ankle-length
and widely ridiculed.
Campbell said black cloth dolls
differ from typical rag dolls in sev-
eral ways. Most were made of new
cloth, and the earliest ones tended
to be firmly stuffed rather than
floppy. Those made from about
1870-1890 tended to be more ele-
gantly dressed and durable than the
early 20th-century dolls, which
were often more "squeezy" and
huggable, she said.
Informative quilts, banners and five
dolls shown in New Orleans came
from the National Black Doll Mu-
seum, privately run by Debra Britt
and her two sisters in Mansfield, Mass.
The museum one of two devoted to
black dolls owns about 5,000 and
has 2,000 on display, Britt said.
Barbara Whiteman, who opened
the Philadelphia Doll Museum in
1988, has said that before 1950, most
dolls manufactured for black chil-
dren had exaggerated, stereotypical
features, or were white-featured
dolls tinted brown. Mass-produced
dolls with more realistic images of
African-American children weren't
made until the 1950s.
Britt said the oldest dolls in her
museum have no features at all and
aren't easily recognized as dolls.
They are "wrap dolls" handed
down in her family and made by en-
slaved children, possibly in the
early 18th century They were made
of gourds and vines, and wrapped
with cloth and twigs.

Birthday Try again in the year ahead to resurrect an old
endeavor that you almost got off the ground in the past.
With the benefit of hindsight, you might be able to figure out
what went wrong and be able to fix it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) When involved in a friendly com-

winning so important that it spoils the fun for everyone else.
Relax and enjoy yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It's fine to do things that make
you look good, but only if your actions don't come at the ex-
pense of another. Be extra careful to avoid falling into this
pattern unthinkingly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Usually you go out of your way
to be an extremely diplomatic person, but this wonderful
quality might desert you today. Avoid using excessive flat-

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) This might not turn out to
be such a nifty day if you and your mate, partner or friend
cannot agree upon a social outing. Toss a coin.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be wary of falling into
patterns that are self-defeating or that make matters more

fective shortcuts, instead of dwelling on frustrating
detours.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Awell-intentioned, close pal

as possible.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) In order for a joint endeavor
to work out, you need to make sure there is parity between
the players. It won't succeed if the workload is unequal.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be careful not to automati-

Building blocks of life


DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle
Amy Meek has completed her first two months as president/CEO of the United Way of Citrus County. With the support of United Way agencies and
volunteers, the areas of education, income and health will be emphasized in an effort to build upon the quality of life in Citrus County.

United Way of Citrus County works to build education, income and health


AMY MEEK
Special to the Chronicle
It has been nearly two months since I
began my new position here at United
Way of Citrus County. I have met with so
many wonderful community leaders and
agency leaders over this past month. It is re-
ally encouraging to see how many people are
working to improve the lives of others.
Our local United Way raises more than
$700,000 annually and funds 19 agencies in
our community. Our local Board of Directors
is comprised of 25 community leaders who
are dedicated to the success of Citrus County
United Way, both locally and worldwide, is
focused on and committed to making a true
community impact. United Way Worldwide re-
leased a study that shows the key building
blocks to successful lives are education, in-
come and health.
These three key areas work together to im-
prove the lives of individuals and that has a
ripple effect that can be seen in that individ-
ual's family and out into the community Our
United Way is dedicated to these building
blocks of life and has set goals to see true
change in Citrus County over the course of the
next 10 years.
It is not enough to just give out the prover-
bial "Band-Aids." We need to get to the root
causes of social needs to truly improve lives
and, in turn, improve our community As a
community, we cannot just fund our problems
away; rather we need a long-term strategic


plan to address the issues we face. Your local
United Way is dedicated to being the organi-
zation that will work with the many nonprofit
agencies in our county, to plan and address
these issues.
Recent census data shows there are more
than 17,000 adults in Citrus County who do not
have a GED or high school diploma. Further-
more, data supports that without this level of
education, the average attainable income is
$13,000.
With a GED/high school education, a per-
son's income can nearly double.
This is why our Education Impact Council
is so focused on building awareness of the
great programs available at Withlacoochee
Technical Institute (WTI) for those in our
community to attain this necessary degree.
The cost of the entire program is about $150
and it takes three to six months to complete.
WTI touts an 86 percent pass rate, free
child care is available and classes are offered
at three locations throughout Citrus County
and online! Impressive, isn't it?
Our Income Impact Council is inspiring the
19 agencies we support in Citrus County to
consider being a part of a 10-class Financial
Stability series. United Way agencies across
the nation are successfully working with indi-
viduals to improve credit scores, build rela-
tionships with local bankers, encourage
saving money, and teach the basics of balanc-
ing a checkbook.
Additionally, class participants will learn
r6sum6-building and interview techniques.


These skills are essential to financial inde-
pendence and as we have seen through the ef-
forts of other United Ways, really work to
improve lives.
The importance of healthy living and
healthy choices has been repeated over and
over again. This is, in large part, because it is
so vital to life!
Our Health Impact Council hopes to begin
an incentive program that provides goals for
children to attain through regular exercise
and provide bicycles for not only the children,
but also for their parents as their reward.
We also want to begin a community garden
that would provide fresh produce for neigh-
borhood volunteers. All fun stuff.
In my life, I have always been fortunate to
have been surrounded by friends and family
who encouraged me to dream big and go after
goals with focus and drive.
Encouragement from others is sometimes
all it takes to motivate a person to take that
next step in their personal lives. We need to
be the encourager, the supporter, the commu-
nity for those in need in Citrus County mo-
tivating them to dream bigger and go after
their goals.
Life does sometimes give you lemons, and
sometimes you need a friend or neighbor to
help you turn it into lemonade!

Stimulus facts are stubborn things


he term stimulus has become
a hot potato in today's divi-
sive political climate. The
truth is stimulus spending has been
employed by both parties to help
jumpstart the economy in times of
recession and high unemployment.

sive public
work projects
to improving
existing infra-
structure,
stimulus
spending has "a--
historically
been an effec-
tive means of Paula Dockery
strengthening
the economy FLORIDA
when imple- VOICES

correctly
Unfortunately, so much rhetoric
and spin has been applied to the
discussion that the facts seem to be
lost. My purpose is not to persuade
you one way or the other on the use
of tax dollars to spur the economy,
it is simply to provide the facts on
Florida's use of stimulus funds.
Love them or hate them, both par-
ties have appropriated them and de-
cided how they will be used. And it's
somewhat disingenuous to say stim-
ulus dollars are bad, but then vote
for a budget that includes them.


During three years under the Bush
administration, Florida received $12 billion in
stimulus funding. ... During four years under
the Obama administration, Florida was
awarded $11.05 billion of stimulus funds.


My analysis covers the period of
2006 to 2012 under Republican
President George W Bush and Dem-
ocratic President Barack Obama.
During that seven-year period, the
Florida House and Senate were in
Republican control and the two gov-
ernors, Charlie Crist and Rick Scott,
were both elected as Republicans.
From informal conversations, as
well as Facebook and Twitter dis-
cussions, it seems many Floridians
believe stimulus funding began
under the Obama administration
and that the federal government -
rather than the state and local gov-
ernments decided how the
money would be spent.
In reality, Florida received a
great deal of stimulus funding prior
to the current administration, and
while there were some strings at-
tached, the Legislature was given a
great deal of leeway in determining
how to best spend the money In
passing seven separate budgets
containing federal stimulus dollars,
state lawmakers did indeed vote to


accept and spend those dollars.
For fiscal years 2006 through
2008, my figures come from the Sen-
ate Budget Committee staff. Start-
ing in 2009, the numbers were
displayed on a website maintained
by Gov Crist's office at FlaRecovery
com. While the website is still ac-
tive, unfortunately, it no longer
breaks down the stimulus dollars
and how they were spent. For fiscal
years 2009 through 2012, my figures
come from a combination of the
state's annual budgets and the fed-
eral website Recoverygov.
During three years under the
Bush administration, Florida re-
ceived $12 billion in stimulus fund-
ing. In 2006, the state's $71.3 billion
budget included $4.1 billion in stim-
ulus funds, or 5.7 percent The next
year, $5.4 billion of the state's $71.95
billion budget came from federal
stimulus dollars, or 7.5 percent. And
in 2008, $2.5 billion of the $66.25 bil-
lion budget came from the federal
stimulus, or 3.77 percent.
During four years under the


Obama administration, Florida was
awarded $11.05 billion of stimulus
funds. While year-by-year break-
downs are difficult to determine, it
appears we received roughly $7.7
billion in 2009, $3.26 billion in 2010,
and less than a billion dollars in
2011 and 2012 combined.
In all, Florida is on pace to have
spent $24.2 billion in federal stimu-
lus dollars.
A 43-page list of Florida's stimu-
lus recipients shows the largest
amount going to the Florida De-
partment of Transportation, with
$1.15 billion. The Executive Office
of the Governor was second highest,
with $730 million.
Of the roughly 2,420 named recip-
ients, at number 17 was CSX Trans-
portation, a for-profit corporation
that received $100 million. School
boards, universities, cities and
counties also are on the list, along
with electric companies and other
private industries.
So let the debate continue. Stim-
ulus is good. Stimulus is bad. But
both parties use it And now you are
armed with the facts.

after coffee

Is the glass half full or
half empty?
There are optimists
and pessimists and a lot of
folks stuck in between. Per-
sonally, I am an optimist
after I've had a few cups of
coffee in the morning.
But let's look at Citrus
County and some of the
current things both pes-
simists and optimists are
experiencing.
For instance, a pes-
simist looks at the
county's current housing
market and says buying a
home was a horrible in-
vestment. An optimist
looks at the current situa-
tion and says this is a
great time to buy a home
because the cost has
never been lower
Citrus County Property
Appraiser Geoff Greene
put out an analysis re-
cently that noted in 2007,
the average home value in
our community was
$168,350. Today, the aver-
age value has dropped to
$104,600.
A pessimist would have
looked at downtown In-
verness 20 years ago and
said it was time to get out
of town. Frank DiGio-
vanni, the city manager,
was an optimist. DiGio-
vanni led the effort to re-
build downtown Inver-
ness and today it is one of
the nicest small cities in
Florida. Just recently Di-
Giovanni and the city pur-
chased the old Valerie
Theater on the court-
house square and they are
now working on plans to
turn it into a public cul-
tural center. Only opti-
mists make investments
like that.
Pay attention during
this year's political sea-
son. You will find the pes-
simists spend all of their
time talking about the
dumb decisions made by
past or current politi-
cians. The optimists talk
about what they're going
to do in the future to
makes things better. In
America, we should only
elect optimists.
Pessimists will tell you
our public school system
is not working for our chil-
dren. The optimists attend
the graduation parties of
our seniors who are going
off to Harvard, University
of Florida or one of the
military academies.
Pessimists violate the
regulations on how fre-
quently you can water
your lawn. Optimists set
up rain barrels and collect
the water God has made
available free of charge.
Pessimists complain we
are polluting our water-
ways and demand govern-
ment do something about
it Optimists join Art Jones
and his band of merry Ro-
tarians who get out and
clean up Crystal River
and King's Bay on a regu-
lar basis.
Pessimists throw trash
out the windows of their
cars. Optimists recycle.
Pessimists complain
young people today are
unmotivated and are
overly fixated on their mo-
bile devices. Optimists
volunteer to be Little
League coaches, Boy
Scout leaders, YMCA vol-
unteers and Sunday
school teachers.
Pessimists tell you gov-
ernment is the biggest
problem in our lives. Opti-
mists run for political office
and try to change things.

THE GOOCHER FACTOR




Underhanded



politics is



alive, well


here's a ringer in the
Democratic primary for
the Florida House.
On their primary election
ballot, Democrats will see they
have a choice between Robert
Raymond Goocher and Lynn
Thomas Dostal in
the District 34 THE I
race. The problem
is, Robert Dising
Goocher is a shill; cand
a tool of those
trembling in their OUR 01
tasseled loafers Dirty po
that Independent insult to d
Nancy Argenziano
could whip in-
cumbent state Rep. Jimmie T.
Smith in the November gen-
eral election.
With a Democrat, Republi-
can and Independent in the
general election, there's no
doubt party-line Democrats
would siphon potential Argen-
ziano votes, helping to tip the
scales for Rep. Smith.
Mr. Goocher's primary oppo-
nent, Lynn Dostal, initially in-
dicated he'd bow out of the
race to clear the way for a
Smith-Argenziano faceoff in
November. That was before
Robert Goocher threw his hat
in the ring. Mr. Dostal now as-
serts he's in the race for real.
To that end, Mr. Dostal is out
and about, sharing his platform
at forums and has interviewed
with the Chronicle editorial
board. One big question on his
mind and the minds of many
others: Where is Robert
Goocher?
Goocher, 24, is a mystery man
- a no-show at forums and
candidate interviews. He does-
n't return phone calls or candi-
date questionnaires, and those
seeking to track him down at
his place of employment, Bob's
Car Care, are left disappointed
that they're unable to meet the
man.
In June, he did grant the
Chronicle a brief telephone in-
terview, but said he had to run

about widening (U.S.) 19.
A grand re-opening
I guess all of us are excited
about the Margarita Grill coming
back. We understand that they're
going to try to break ground the
end of this month, the end of
July. And they're going to be in
the same location, 10200 W. Halls

to see you there. We missed

Voters have received high-

the working folks. The problem
is, the literature

democracy, he's reluctant to
get out to press
flesh and court votes? Lynn
Dostal and Nancy Argenziano
are sure it's a GOP scheme to
divert votes from Ms. Argen-
ziano in the general election.
That makes sense. Look at
those who have contributed to
his campaign:
His mom, a Republican
who has no interest in answer-
ing a reporter's questions.
A Homosassa insurance
executive, who has also con-

Leviathan on a fishing expedition


SAN FRANCISCO
he huge, humpback whale
whose friendliness precip-
itated a surreal seven-year
-so far federal hunt for crim-
inality surely did not
feel put upon. Never- --
theless, our unhinged
government, with an
obsession like that of
Melville's Ahab, has
crippled Nancy '
Black's scientific ca- /
reer, cost her more
than $100,000 in legal
fees so far and
might sentence her to Georg
20 years in prison. OTI
This Kafkaesque bur-
lesque of law enforce- V014
ment began when
someone whistled.
Black, 50, a marine biologist
who also captains a whale watch-
ing ship, was with some watchers
in Monterey Bay in 2005 when a
member of her crew whistled at
the humpback that had ap-
proached her boat, hoping to en-
tice the whale to linger. Back on
land, another of her employees
called the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration to
ask if the whistling constituted
"harassment" of a marine mam-
mal, which is an "environmental
crime." NOAA requested a video
of the episode, which Black sent
after editing it slightly to high-
light the whistling. NOAA found
no harassment but got her in-
dicted for editing the tape, calling
this a "material false statement"
to federal investigators, which is
a felony under the 1863 False
Claims Act intended to punish
suppliers defrauding the govern-
ment during the Civil War.
A year after this bizarre charge
- that she lied about the interac-
tion with the humpback that pro-
duced no charges more than a
dozen federal agents, led by one
from NOAA, raided her home.
They removed her scientific pho-
tos, business files and computers.
Call this a fishing expedition.
She has also been charged with
the crime of feeding killer whales
when she and two aides were in


Ce

C


a dinghy observing them feeding
on strips of blubber torn from
their prey a gray whale. To fa-
cilitate photographing the killers'
feeding habits, she cut a hole in
one of the floating slabs
of blubber, and through
the hole attached a
rope to stabilize the
slab while a camera on
a pole recorded the
whales' underwater
eating.
So she is charged
with "feeding" killer
whales who were al-
Will ready feeding on a gray
IER whale they had killed.
She could more plausi-
WES bly be accused of inter-
feringwith the feeding.
Never mind. This pursuit of
Black seems to have become a
matter of institutional momen-
tum, an agent-driven case. Per-
haps NOAA, or the U.S. Justice
Department's Environmental
Crimes Section, has its version of
Victor Hugo's obsessed Inspector
Javert. In any event, some of the
federal government's crime-
busters seem to know little about
whales hence the "whistle-as-
harassment" nonsense.
Six years ago, NOAA agents,
who evidently consider the First
Amendment a dispensable nui-
sance, told Black's scientific col-
leagues not to talk to her, and to
inform them if they were con-
tacted by her or her lawyers.
Since then, she has not spoken
with one of her best friends.
To finance her defense, she has
cashed out her life's savings,
which otherwise might have pur-
chased a bigger boat. The govern-
ment probably has spent millions.
It delivered an administrative
subpoena to her accountant, al-
though no charge against her has
anythingto do with finances.
In 1980, federal statutes speci-
fied 3,000 criminal offenses; by
2007,4,450. They continue to mul-
tiply Often, as in Black's case,
they are untethered from the
common law tradition of mens

must involve a criminal intent -

a guilty mind. Legions of govern-
ment lawyers inundate targets
like Black with discovery de-
mands, producing financial bur-
dens that compel the innocent to
surrender in order to survive.
The protracted and pointless
tormenting of Black illustrates
the thesis of Harvey Silverglate's
invaluable 2009 book "Three
Felonies a Day: How the Feds
Target the Innocent." Silverglate,
a civil liberties lawyer in Boston,
chillingly demonstrates how the
mad proliferation of federal
criminal laws which often are
too vague to give fair notice of
what behavior is proscribed or
prescribed means "our normal
daily activities expose us to po-
tential prosecution at the whim of
a government official."
Such laws, which enable gov-
ernment zealots to accuse almost
anyone of committing three
felonies in a day, do not just en-
able government misconduct, they
incite prosecutors to intimidate
decent people who never had cul-
pable intentions. And to inflict
punishments without crimes.
By showing that Kafka was a
realist, Black's misfortune may
improve the nation: The more
Americans learn about their gov-
ernment's abuse of criminal law
for capricious bullying, the more
likely they are to recoil in a liber-
tarian direction and put
Leviathan on a short leash.

Remodel shelter
I am a volunteer at Citrus
County Animal Services. The
employees must be recognized
for their outstanding work in a
very stressful environment.
I am concerned about the dis-
cussion to have or not have a
"no-kill" shelter It is important
to recognize the following facts
before going on with the discus-
sion:
1) Because of limited room at
the present facility, it would be
cruel treatment for animals to
be more crowded than they are
now. It is extremely crowded at
the present time;
2) The present critical needs
must be met, namely a quaran-
tine/surgery/nursery area. I un-
derstand there is some money
approved for these pressing
needs. However, construction
has not begun. Why not?
A new facility or major remod-
eling of the present buildings
should be completed before con-
sidering a "no-kill" shelter after
the quarantine/surgery/nursery
area is completed.

Perfect pet facility
Many years ago, my family
adopted a dog from the Humane
Society. After he was home and


his first visit to the vet, we
found he had worms, mange and
kennel cough. He had been
there for two weeks and still his
bones were sticking up on his
hips and his ribs shown through.
I was so upset he not only did-
n't receive better care, but no
one told us. As a result, kennel
cough spread to our other
animals.
When it came time to adopt
a new cat for our home we were
worried. I arrived at The Hu-
manitarians of Florida and was
amazed. Anyone who has cats
knows how difficult it is to
keep "that smell" out of your
house and litter box. And here
was a house full of cats, kittens
and even sick cats in their own
separate room and not one
dirty litter box no smells at all
-not one dirty cat. This place is
spotless, with employees (who)
are constantly cleaning, loving
and caring for their animals.
We adopted a wonderful
healthy cat from kind caring
people and we believe The Hu-
mane Society has a lot to learn
from that amazing facility.

expiration date at the time of

We recently were prepping for a
short visit from five of our seven
grandchildren. Milk, much milk, is
always essential when these little
eating machines are with us. We
had a partial half-gallon of milk,
plus one I'd bought a few days
before.
I made the necessary
calculations and knew we needed
one more half-gallon of milk to last
for the kids' visit, so I bought one.
When the partial bottle was used
up, I opened what I thought was
the next one in line. It wasn't.
Sure enough, on July 11, the last
remaining unopened half gallon
of milk had a July 9 expiration


date. I didn't notice it right off, but
persnickety grandson Fred 4 did.
He pointed it out to his
grandmom, and she told me.
Yep. I poured it down the sink.

Development project at


center of water dispute


K.C. NAYFIELD
Special to the Chronicle

Someone once asked a
billionaire what he wanted
in life. He answered them
with just one word: "More."
That billionaire very well
could have been Frank
Stronach, a 79-year-old
Canadian investor who
made a fortune in the auto
parts and electronics indus-
tries. He is the money be-
hind the Adena Springs
Ranch project and he is
ranked 21 on Forbes list of
wealthiest men in the world.
Adena Springs will en-
compass tens of thousands
of acres in Central Florida.
The project is set to include
a cattle operation, timber, a
biomass generator and a
slaughter house. He is also
planning a housing develop-
ment and golf course
nearby
The biggest problem is
that Mr. Stronach has ap-
plied for a consumptive use
permit (CPU) through the
St. Johns Water Manage-
ment District. He is asking
for the ability to pump over
13 million of gallons of
water daily from the Flori-
dan Aquifer. To put this
amount of water into per-
spective, it is more than the
entire city of Ocala con-
sumes each day
I have no problems with
people making money I
would be the first to con-
gratulate Mr. Stronach on
his successful companies. I
do have a problem with peo-

ple making huge profits at
the expense of the environ-
ment or my quality of life.
The Adena Springs Project
will do both.
The project sits on the
spring shed for the Silver
Springs, which feeds the Sil-
ver River which flows to the
Oklawaha which is the
largest river supplying the
St. Johns River. Spring flows
from the Silver Springs have
already gone down signifi-
cantly in the past few years.
The decreases threaten the
entire ecosystem of that
area.
Of course many people
are protesting the project,
especially the Florida Con-
servation Coalition led by
former governor/U.S. Sen.
Bob Graham. The propa-
ganda wars have begun.
Mr. Stronach claims to
have data that indicates no
damage from this massive
pumping. Common sense
would dictate otherwise.
This water belongs to the
people of Florida and
should not go to just making
a wealthy man wealthier
Mr. Stronach has pro-
claimed he will create jobs
and stimulate the economy
Actually it will cost jobs in
the tourism industry as the
springs are further dam-
aged by over-pumping. He
further claims that the proj-
ect won't be using that large
amount of water. However,
once issued, he may have


the ability to divert the
water into other areas like
bottling. The water district
needs to deny this CUP
To the credit of Mr.
Stronach, he has made huge
donations to the University
of Florida. My opinion is
that if he really wants to do
something good for the state
he should just put that land
into preservation and have
it restored back to its natu-
ral condition. He could put
it into a conservation ease-
ment and set it aside for
aquifer recharge. This is
what the state needs and not
more deforestation and
thousands more methane
belching animals.
Stronach Adena's Springs
Preserve would be of real
benefit to the state. If he re-
ally wants to raise cattle in
Florida, I am sure he could
find an existing ranch to buy
and lessen the environmen-
tal impact
Florida needs less pump-
ing from the aquifer. It
needs less damage to its
fragile environment. Mr.
Stronach needs to realize
that when it comes to pre-
serving ecosystems, less is
actually more.

Board, most recently as

Money out of politics
Just about everything wrong with soci-
ety can be summed up in three words:
Money in Politics.
Take corporate interests out of Washing-
ton and state houses, and our elected offi-
cials would have to work for their
constituents instead of multinational cor-
porations. Instead of the filibuster, politi-
cians would trip all over themselves trying
to outdo each other to improve life for the
working-class electorate. Instead, we have
one party that refuses to create jobs, or
build renewable energy solutions to global
warming. Why? Because corporate inter-
ests like the health insurance industry,
Wall Street bankers and the fossil fuel in-
dustry, among others, are much better
served by members of the party of no.
Democrats tend to want to regulate the
bankers (who) brought down the economy,
whereas members of the right prefer to
blame teachers and public workers, and to
cut vital programs to satisfy their corpo-
rate donors.
Take the recent debate over President
Obama's Affordable Care Act: What would
be better for our country than a single-
payer system? It would bring down costs,
renew the economy, create many jobs and
ensure everyone would be covered.
Instead, our elected officials had to
make a deal with the insurance industry,
trading the mandate for insuring folks
with pre-existing conditions, because our
legislators are in the pocket of the insur-
ance industry
There are many benefits in the Afford-
able Care Act, and it's a great place to
start. But if corporate money were not al-
lowed to influence politicians and elec-
tions, we could have quality, affordable
health care for all, right now, like they do
in every other developed country
Citizens' United, building on an earlier
court decision that says money is speech,
and a pre-condition called corporate per-
sonhood, opened the floodgates to un-
precedented amounts of cash in the form
of Super Pacs, effectively killing what was
left of democracy, as only the 1 percent
corporate club is left standing. We must
amend the constitution to stop corporate
money from destroying democracy

Environmental nonsense
You have to love our environmentalists.
I'm talking about Mike Fahey's letter, in
which he said, "New technologies that
protect the environment will create new
high-paying jobs."
Right on, Mike we call that Solyndra.
In the meantime, you destroyed thousands
of jobs in the coal, natural gas and oil in-
dustries.
Then he goes on to say, "We live in a car-
bon-constrained atmosphere."
That's a political slogan, not a fact. I'll
give him 350 words of Chronicle space to
explain to this old rocket scientist what a
carbon-constrained atmosphere is.
Here's the raw truth: If you don't have
credits in a college-level course in ther-
modynamics, you don't know hot from
cold. I've studied the bios of environmen-
talists from the United Nations' Intergov-
ernmental Panel on Climate Change to the
local level, and there is one fact that
jumps out. A lot of these people don't have
degrees in hard science. This field is a
haven for educated people with degrees
in sociology and political science and a
need to put food on the table.
What does Mike mean by a carbon-con-
strained atmosphere? I picture lumps of
coal falling from the sky. Is he talking
about carbon dioxide? He should say so if
that's the case, because from there we can
have a discussion.
Picture 85,800 molecules of air. Carbon
dioxide will be 0.04 percent of that volume
of air. The reason we picked 85,800 mole-
cules is it makes the math come out easy
Thirty-three molecules will be carbon
dioxide. Thirty-two will be naturally oc-
curring and necessary to support life on
this planet, and one will be manmade.
The historical variance in the naturally
occurring gas is plus or minus two mole-
cules or from 30 to 34 molecules. Mike
would spend billions to do microsurgery
on one molecule out of 85,800. When we
say we will reduce our emissions 50 per-
cent, a one-molecule natural change will
overwhelm it Never forget: In the past
30,000 years, the west coast of Florida has
wandered from 100 miles west of here to
30 miles east, and it will do it again.

Patrol parking lots
There is a new scam that
the police and the public of
Citrus County need to be
aware of. I have had this
happen to me on three sep-
arate occasions at three dif-
ferent parking lots in the
county spread out from Ho-
mosassa all the way to In-
verness. I am approached
in the parking lot either by
a man or a woman. The
woman had a child with her
saying they have run out of
gas, that, you know, they've
never had to ask before, but
is there any way they could
borrow $5 so that they can
get gas. One person said so
they could feed their kid.
It's very scary for some-
body to walk up to you in a
parking lot when you're
about to get into your car. I
wish that the patrol officers
of this county would start
patrolling the parking lots
more frequently so that


they were helping to raise him.
With Mr Maidhofgone, opportunities
for the education of that grandson will be
more difficult. Some of the pledged sup-
porters suggested and have agreed to
allow their donations to be redirected to
a special designated fund account
opened at SunTrust Bank to help in his
future college education. Mrs. Charlotte
Maidhof will be custodian of the account.
This fund will remain open for contri-
bution through this calendar year 2012,
to allow Charlotte to put all funds col-
lected toward a prepaid Florida college
program or a 529 fund for the express
purpose of this grandson's education
some 15 years from now, when he is
ready to go to school. Anyone interested
in helping honor Gary Maidhof in this
way, please make checks payable to:

Worry about you
This is in response to the
Sound Off caller who was
complaining about the lady
buying $40 worth of lottery
tickets and then buying
stuff with her EBT card.
Well, I just want to say, first
off, whoever this person is,
they should just mind their
own business. This lady
has a right to buy what she
wants with her EBT card.
You know, if this county
wasn't such an anti-growth,
anti-business county, there
probably would be jobs
here that she could work
at. But being that this is an
anti-growth, anti-business
county, there is not much

bits, one buzzard in front
of my house in Sugarmill.
What can these drivers be
thinking of when they're
supposed to pay attention
to the road and only be
going 30 to 35 mph. Lord
only knows about the other
streets. All since Jan. 1,
2012. The police are out
hiding, waiting to catch
speeders in the afternoon. I
think that 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.
and the 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
would be a whole lot more
productive.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Balfour for superintendent
Sandy Balfour is certainly qualified to
serve as Citrus County's superintendent of
schools. As a fellow classroom teacher, I
have worked with Sandy in various situa-
tions during the past 10 years and have
come to know her quite well. She has
been consistently open minded, empa-
thetic, willing to learn from and listen to
others' opinions, and committed to the
task at hand. Her main focus remains:
"How will this impact the students?"
Although Sandy began her career as a
business owner, when her children came
along, she became motivated to under-
stand the educational process and make a
difference in not only her boys' lives but
in other youngsters' education as well.
She received her Bachelor of Arts de-
gree in Elementary Education from the St.
Leo University and served at the elemen-
tary level for five years. Later, she served
three years at the middle-school level and
nine years at the high school, one of those
as an administrator. Apparently, she did
make a difference because Sandy was
nominated Teacher of the Year by her
peers at each level, and in 2012 she be-
came the Academy of Environmental Sci-
ence's Teacher of the Year
During these 17 years, Sandy's focus has
evolved on ways the current educational
system might be improved by streamlining
the day-to-day operations in order to
make the system more productive and ef-
ficient. To broaden her knowledge base,
she went on to acquire her Master's De-
gree in Educational Leadership from the
University of South Florida.
In addition, she is a National Board Cer-
tified Teacher (which proves her teaching
methods are excellent and measurable ac-
cording to high national standards), one of
three district-wide mentors/trainers, and a
national assessor Sandy has also served
on the College of Central Florida's Board
of Trustees since 2009.
With her classroom experience, high
standards, focus on improvement of the
educational system, positive attitude to
make a difference in the lives of all our
children, and her service from the ele-
mentary through the college levels, Sandy
Balfour has the insight needed to be Cit-
rus County's superintendent of schools.

Poliseno has experience
I've had the privilege of knowing
Charles Poliseno for the last eight years
and fully support his run for the
County Commission, District 5.
It was through his involvement in serv-
ing the community that I met him. The
youths in the county couldn't have a
better advocate. Charles had been a
leader in Girl Scouts, and is still an
active leader in Boy Scouts. He has men-
tored many boys and helped them in
their journey to become Eagle Scouts. He
is also an active member of SERTOMA.
He also has experience in Citrus County
government as the former head of the De-
partment for Public Safety He is overall a
well balanced candidate.
I hope everyone who doesn't know
Charles will take the time to check him
out consider him as your choice for county
commissioner on Aug. 14.

Webb votes for Webb
I would like to take this moment to en-
dorse Winn Webb, my brother, the Repub-
lican candidate, for the next sheriff of
Citrus County
I write this endorsement to inform those
voters that may have or have not made a
decision on whom to believe or trust My
brother "Winn" is a committed, compas-
sionate, open and honest man. He has
proven this to the many citizens of this
county over his lifetime here, as a resi-
dent and native of Citrus County.
Winn is a previous Citrus County law
enforcement officer and in his 17 years
with the agency, served as a detective,


served on specialty teams, and in commu-
nity affairs. He is a previous business
owner and a military veteran.
When he talks about living in a safe
community, it isn't just talk or political ex-
pression, it's his heart speaking. Winn is
committed to serving; he has served on
and with many local organizations, as well
as the Board of County Commissioners.
Now after serving for 3 1/2 years on the
BOCC where he has helped to trim an ex-
cessive countywide budget, Winn has de-
cided he must look further to the needs of
this county.
Winn has watched this county change,
grow and experience a decline in the eco-
nomic status needed to maintain a
lifestyle we have all become accustomed
to. Winn Webb wants to lead your sheriff's
office and make your money stretch to its
fullest extent. He wants to give you a more
open, personal and community-oriented
agency
As sheriff, Winn can provide a level of
safety and security that is expected by the
taxpayers of this county He can make this
a better community for all to live in.
Winn has the experience, he has the
commitment, he has the knowledge. I
know "Winn Webb" my brother, can do
this! I speak from experience, from knowl-
edge and from my heart. I will choose
Winn Webb at ballot time. I hope you do
the same.

Balfour has dignity

Rusnak knows county
I, like most of you, have received politi-
cal mailers for commission candidates.
They say the candidate is a leader, will
work to create jobs, is committed to Citrus
County families, cares about the environ-
ment, and will stop wasteful spending.
Such rhetoric is cheap.
We are frequent attendees to commis-
sion meetings. The only candidate we con-
sistently see in the chamber is Theodora
"Teddi" Rusnak. She challenges budgets,
contracts, poor land-use applications, pri-
vatization of our water, wasteful spending
(such as Ottawa, Port Citrus, Meadowcrest
and Wal-Mart), overdevelopment and
other things that impact quality of life in
Citrus. She is a defender of taxpayers,
small businesses, farms, the environment,
water quality, manatees and our lakes and
rivers. She has been a fixture in the cham-
ber for at least four years speaking on
these issues.
Where have the other candidates been?
None can say they have put in more hours
or have more knowledge of county govern-
ment than Teddi.
Teddi has 30 years of actual, profes-
sional experience in job creation and eco-
nomic development
She is the widow of a veteran.
She has no connection to any special in-
terests and is not supported by mining or
construction industries. She has no deep
pockets hidden behind her. Teddi is her
own person. She has worked for and will
continue to work for the residents of Cit-
rus County
We have an opportunity to elect an intel-
ligent, hard-working commissioner who
will work full time for us.
We endorse Theodora "Teddi" Rusnak
for District 5 Commissioner,

sobering statistics that every voter in Cit-
rus County should take notice and act ac-
cordingly Property values at an all time
low, thousands of residents have left our
county within the past two years, unem-
ployment the likes we have never seen.
Now the threat of Florida Power (Duke
Energy) closing its Citrus operations will
push this county over the edge and we, the
taxpayers, will feel pain.
I have three grandchildren who are cur-
rently in our school system. I fear for their
future. What opportunity will exist for
them here when they graduate? Time to
take off the rose-colored glasses and think
twice about this coming election for county
commissioner of District 1. I1 have found
the person who has the courage, a skilled
leader and a true friend of all the people
of Citrus County. This person I have known
for many years and have placed my trust
in. He is a great visionary with limitless
ideas. He has the necessary attributes re-
quired for the position of Board of County
Commissioners, District 1.
This person has resided in Citrus
County for more than 40 years. A success-
ful businessman, a family man, a person
known to me as someone who genuinely
cares about the quality of our lives. This
person is Dennis Damato, the incumbent
commissioner of District 1. Without hesi-
tation I will stand shoulder to shoulder
with Dennis. He has the right stuff and I
strongly urge the voters to re-elect Dennis
Damato!

Webb for the citizens
Winn Webb brings a community- and citi-
zen-minded approach to our sheriff's de-
partment. After 16 years of the current
Democrat sheriff, and with the significant
changes that have taken place in our
county government, the election of Winn
Webb as our sheriff completes the process
of returning the Citrus County government
to our citizens. Known for being a non-
friendly place for a long time, the recent
changes from our last election moved to
improve our quality of life through quality
leadership. As voters, our voices have spo-
ken that we want our elected officials to be
more in touch with our community, be ac-
countable for the actions of their specific
departments and our county government in
total, and to lead our community responsi-
bly The votes in our last election spoke
loud and clear that the old regime, spend-
ing without responsibility, and being out of
touch with the citizens is not acceptable.
It is time to complete the changeover
process from old school empire building
government to community minded leader-
ship. Electing a sheriff that is in touch
with the community needs, really listens
and responds to the citizens and one who
is responsible and accountable is in
line with the our voice in and results of
the last election.
It is time to complete the process. It's

Teddi has been pushing hard for the
protection of our water supply, something
I'll bet Cedar Key residents wish someone
had done now that their water is undrink-
able. Ever try to sell a house with saltwa-
ter flowing from the tap?
Teddi is interested in developing sus-
tainable, better-paying employment that
enhances the community's lifestyles not
only financially but environmentally She
has helped to bring the business commu-
nity together to work with locals to their
mutual benefit.
Teddi believes that we should work with
our strengths and utilize the resources we
already enjoy in our community. She does
not think that it is a good idea to turn our
beautiful Nature Coast into an industrial
wasteland. Natural sites have already been
destroyed to construct more Wal-Mart
stores to produce more underemployed
residents. These aren't the jobs we need.
Teddi thinks working together to de-
velop the resources we already have is
more advantageous for Job seekers, tax-
payers, business and the environment.
This partnership will preserve our land-
scape and surroundings, the reasons why
many of us moved here in the first place.
We do not need to be surrounded by an in-
dustrial complex. If we wanted that, we
could move to Tampa where there are
30,000 vacant homes available.
Teddi will fight against turning our
water into a commodity, robbing us of our
domestic drinking water supply We need
commissioners who are interested in the
lives of county residents. That is why I will
vote for Teddi. I hope you will also cast
your vote for her in order to protect your
water supply and your way of life on the
Nature Coast in Citrus County

COMMENTARY





CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Damato a leader
We chose Citrus County for retirement
because of its similarity to the county in
Georgia where we worked and raised our
children. This county's leadership ap-
pears to be on the right track to attract
new business and industry thus increas-
ing the economic tax base. This growth
will allow the county to maintain the serv-
ices offered to its citizens (especially pro-
grams and facilities that will benefit
young and old alike).
In our opinion, Dennis Damato fits the
leadership mold for sound growth in Citrus
County He excels in experience, utilizes a
business approach to policy (which is essen-
tial in today's world of local government),
and he is a "listener" as well as a "doer" He
approaches each issue with an open mind
and makes decisions based on what is best
for the citizens of Citrus County.
We are thankful and happy to be a part
of this great community We insist that all
readers of this letter, as voters, exercise
your privilege on Aug. 14. We also ask and
urge you to vote for Dennis Damato. Cit-


rus County needs his sound leadership.

Webb for sheriff
Winn Webb, a lifelong resident of Citrus
County, grew up in Floral City Formerly a
small business owner, he entered public
service as a Citrus County Sheriff's
deputy, working throughout the county
His work ethic, versatility and capabilities
resulted in varying assignments within the
agency After 17 years of service, he re-
tired. This was brief as he again felt need
to enter public service and in 2008, was
elected as a Citrus County commissioner,
quickly becoming known as a straightfor-
ward, no-nonsense person who has only
the best interest of county residents at
heart and working to maintain the quality
of life and natural beauty of Citrus County
so important to all. Winn presently serves
as commission chairman. His work ethic,


accessibility and commitment to Citrus
County residents is without question and
his character impeccable. These traits are
some of the reasons he is so well known
and popular throughout the county.
As sheriff, Winn will scrutinize the
budget, eliminating the known excess.
Other cost-cutting goals are non-essential
use of departmental vehicles, reducing
number of non-essential ground and air
vehicles and correcting the disproportion-
ate command staffing. There will be
greater emphasis on enforcing all laws,
particularly those involving illicit drugs,
whether hard drugs or prescription drug
abuses. Close cooperation with all agen-
cies involving safety and welfare of chil-
dren and the elderly will be assured. He is
committed to providing the highest level
of law enforcement and improving com-
munication between residents and all de-
partment personnel.
The day-to-day duties of an elected sher-
iff are similar to that of an administrator

Sell it, help us

Embarrassment
As a struggling senior citi-
zen of Citrus County, I find
the salary and pension dis-
cussions about Mr. Beaty of-
fensive. For him to be
making over $6,000 a week


and looking for a raise is be-
yond reason and is an em-
barrassment, to say the
least.
Medical rationale
I'm calling the Chronicle in
reference to this medical

know how it was approved
by the FDA. Under what
medical research was it


proven that it does help peo-
ple? And if they do it in Cali-
fornia, medical marijuana,
why do they have medical
marijuana brownies, mari-
juana cookies? Cut me a

for them to use marijuana?

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Letter to the EDITOR


BOCC's deception
The county commission sent me a let-
ter saying they are going to charge me my
fair share of an expense. A percentage of
that expense is to be paid by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protec-
tion, with the remainder to be paid me
and my friends.
A. In the letter, the total expense is
shown as $4,403,717.18 and the total due
after the FDEP pays its portion is
$1,889,454.18. This is the amount to be
shared by us.
B. Everyone knew the FDEP was pro-
viding 85 percent of the amount and the
remaining 15 percent was obtained
through a low-cost/long-term loan. If the
amount that we, as a group, must pay is
the 15 percent, then why was the incor-
rect figure of $1,889,454.18 reached,
rather than the correct number of
$660,557.56?
C. They then add insult to injury by
sending a select number of us a second
letter giving us the option of "Permanent
Reassignment Development Rights
(DVR)" of our second property (contigu-
ous to our primary property) to avoid


paying the exaggerated unit amount on it
(and giving us a deadline for paying a fee
and signing the DVR).
D. Once that deadline has passed, a
third letter (second to those not having
two contiguous properties) is sent to us
saying that the individual amount for
each of us will probably be less than orig-
inally figured.
So here is the situation: The Board of
County Commissioners intentionally mis-
leads to the point of deception. The
BOCC tries to take our property-develop-
ment rights. The BOCC misleads and mis-
directs to achieve unknown/hidden gains.
The BOCC, proven to be untrustworthy
and not deserving of respect.

Associated Press


Jamaica's Usain Bolt carries the national flag Friday during the opening ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.


Gambling rampant on

the London Olympics
PAUL HAVEN
Associated Press
LONDON
What are the odds of a UFO
sighting during the London
Olympics opening cere-
mony? Or of the final torch
bearer tripping as they ascend to light the
flame? Or would you prefer a more tradi-
tional wager on the battle for gold between
Russia and Spain in synchronized swim-
ming duos?
London betting houses will offer odds on
almost anything, including all 26 sports at
the games, from the 100-meter dash to fenc-
ing, from diving to soccer. The industry ex-
pects to handle a record 100 million pounds
($155 million) in wagers during the July 27-
Aug.12 competition even some pretty out-
landish parlays.
"We try to cater to most people's tastes,"
said Joe Crilly, a spokesman for William
Hill, a gambling house that encourages pun-
ters the U.K. term for gamblers to con-
tact them with any bet they can dream up.
They also offer online gambling in 182 coun-
tries, though not in the United States or in
other countries where it is prohibited.
Ladbrokes, another British bookmaker,
will offer 11,000 different wagers during the
games, according to spokeswoman Jessica
Bridge. Those bets include that the
Olympics will be over budget, that a British
athlete will be photographed eating a Mc-
Donald's Big Mac, or that the athletes vil-
lage in Olympic Park will run out of
condoms.
William Hill offers perhaps the longest
odds of the games: 1,000-to-1 that a flying
saucer would appear over Olympic Stadium
during Friday's opening ceremony Tough
luck, presumably, if aliens don't make first
contact until the next day
Other longshots get slightly better odds,
like 250-to-1 that every team in the 4x400-
meter relay final drops the baton, or 33-to-1
that flamboyant London Mayor Boris John-
son accidentally lights his hair on fire with
the Olympic torch.
And this being famously soggy London, of
course they are taking bets on the weather,
paying even-money that rain will mar the
opening night If that's not enough to make
an Olympic fan cry, Ladbrokes will pay $50
on a $1 bet that it will rain every day, and 10-
to-1 that a strike by transit workers will halt
train service on the London Underground.


Flying saucers? Not quite: Lifted above the stadium, the Olympic rings are lit with pyrotechnics
Friday during the opening ceremony in London. Odds were 1,000-to-I that a flying saucer would
appear over Olympic Stadium during Friday's opening ceremony.


But the gambling story is not all fun and
games.
The British betting industry is worth $9
billion a year, one of the biggest in the
world, according to a 2010 study by account-
ing and consultancy firm Deloitte. Most
houses offer online gambling as well.
There have been fears that the massive
gambling volume could lead to corruption,
which would forever mar London's legacy
The IOC has barred athletes from betting on
the games and sports, police and gam-
bling industry officials plan to meet daily to
ensure that no illegal bets are placed.
Jacques Rogge, the president of the Inter-
national Olympic Committee, has said pre-
viously that illegal betting can fuel the
scourge of match-fixing.
Crilly said the betting industry is heavily
regulated and immediately reports suspi-
cious activity to Britain's Gambling Commis-
sion.
"We have a lot of strict regulations in
place to guard against any funny business,"
Crilly said. "If we were to see an unusually
large bet for a sport we were not particu-
larly expecting large amounts of money for,
it would flash up ... If there was any sugges-
tion that it was suspicious we would get au-
thorities involved."
The most heavily wagered event during
the London games is expected to be the 100-
meter dash, where Jamaican Usain Bolt, the
reigning Olympic champion, is still the


odds-on favorite despite a rough run-up to
the games that saw him bested in trials by
countryman Yohan Blake. Soccer will also
be an extremely popular wager, as will the
women's heptathlon, where star British ath-
lete Jessica Ennis is expected to compete
for gold.
A major challenge for the gambling
houses is setting the odds for the more ob-
scure sports. Who is to say Dutch rider
Adelinde Cornelissen should be a 15-to-8
shot in dressage, an equestrian discipline?
Or if Sweden's Anders Gustafsson should be
set as a 9-to-1 shot in the 1,000-meter men's
single kayak race?
Crilly says ahead of the Olympics, betting
firms assign teams to research each sport,
spending weeks immersing themselves in
facts and figures.
Punters can also bet on which country
will win the overall medals table (the U.S. is
favored, with China a close second), or how
many golds the host nation will take home.
Bridge says Ladbrokes has already taken
a 10,000 pound ($15,500) bet on Bolt to win
the 100-meter dash and expects much larger
wagers ahead of the big race.
"We anticipate our high roller customers
will fancy him to do the business,' she said.
"If they were to want 50,000 pounds
($77,500) or more on Bolt, then we will hap-
pily lay it."

Face time an important part of hiring


W e recently held
a job fair and, by
most measures,
it was downright suc-
cessful. At least, that's
the sense I get when we
have 824 folks turn out
on a dismal, drizzly j
morning to meet with 23 \
employers, and those
employers in turn had Laura
bona fide jobs to fill. WORK
So that's my story and CONNI
I'm sticking with it, other
than one comment to the
contrary Turns out that one job
seeker in attendance posted she
was "very upset that not one em-
ployer would accept a resume and
wanted you to go online." And for
that, she wrote, she "could (have)
stayed home and (done) the same
thing."
This is in no way intended to sug-
gest the young lady isn't entitled to
her opinion; she certainly is, and
we appreciate it. She is also 100
percent correct, she could have


stayed home and applied
for any of the positions;
in fact, we encourage job
seekers to do just that -
apply-before attending
any job fair.
But could she have ac-
complished the "same
thing"? If garnering valu-
able one-on-one face
time with a hiring man-
ager and making a posi-
tive impression is the
same thing, then no, she


could not.
Simply put, showing up in person
sends a strong message to potential
employers that you are serious
about working, and more impor-
tantly, serious about working for
them.
That said, it's important to recog-
nize most employers have moved to
online applications. Yes, they may
still have job candidates fill out a
paper application in addition to the
electronic version, but given the
volume of applications for every


opening in Florida, the average
is currently a little more than three
to one the process is strongly
skewed toward screening and
culling. Companies use online
screening programs or applicant
management systems to quickly
search applications and r6sum6s
for keywords in order to identify
candidates who might be a good fit
for their position.
Why do we recommend that job
seekers bring printed copies of
their r6sum6 to job fairs? It may
seem old school, but having your r6-
sum6 in hand is still pretty stan-
dard. R6sum6s, after all, can serve
as a "calling card" or way to break
the ice when you first meet the em-
ployer. Plus, having the information
in print creates a ready reference
you can literally point to when de-
scribing your credentials.
Here's the bottom line: offering
your r6sum6 to an employer should
never be considered a substitute for
the employer's specific application
process.


Jo from of Inverness is a great ex-
ample of all this. When I noticed
her at the job fair, she was an island
of focused calm amid the frenzy of
activity, sitting at a table methodi-
cally organizing her cover letters
and r6sum6s, paper-clipping every-
thing into neat stacks based on the
employers she planned to visit that
morning.
While raising her family, Jo had
supplemented the household in-
come by working as a substitute
teacher over the years. Recently
widowed, she is now eager to return
to work full-time and is looking for
"any career-oriented" position.

cation and vast work experience -

Rent to


own on


mobile


home?
DEAR BRUCE: I am
72 and I live in Cit-
rus County, Fla. I
am looking to sell my
home, and of course the
market is terrible. The
home is a 1994 double-
wide mobile home with an
attached two-car garage
and a 12-by-24-foot extra
room attached to the
garage. The home is on
two acres, fully fenced.
My question is, what are
the differences between
rent-to-own and lease-to-
purchase, and what are
the pitfalls? How would
this compare to holding a
mortgage? Are any of
these methods realistic
for someone my age as op-
posed to an outright sale?
- R.N. in Florida
DEAR RN.: Rent-to-
own is simply a way to get
a prospective buyer into
your property who has in
some way damaged his
credit or has no money to
put down. In short, from
the point of view of a dis-
passionate lender, this is
not somebody you want to
deal with. Rent-to-own is
generally offered by a
property owner who has
tried every other way to
sell the property, but has
been unsuccessful.
Holding a mortgage on
a mobile home, in my
opinion, is tantamount to
just loaning money with-
out having anything you
can attach. This is why
mobile homes are more
difficult to get a conven-
tional mortgage on. You
would be far better off to
mark down the mobile
home, which you men-
tioned is almost 20 years
old, to whatever price the
market will bear, or hang
on to it for a time.
If push comes to shove
and you choose not to live
there, I would be more
comfortable with making
it a rental and telling the
tenants that if they can
come up with the down
payment and qualify for a
mortgage, you'll give them
a good deal.
If you feel you want to
venture down the rent-to-
own road, using part of
the tenants' monthly pay-
ment as an eventual down
payment, have your attor-
ney draw up the proper
paperwork. Include lan-
guage saying that if they
default before the speci-
fied period of time you
agreed to rent to them be-
fore they own, make sure
that any money used to-
ward the down payment is
NOT refundable.
DEAR BRUCE: If a par-
ent gifts a child $13,000
and then goes into a nurs-
ing home for several years
and runs out of money,
will Medicaid make the
child give back the $13,000
gift? In other words,
should the gift not be
given if there is any
chance the parent will
need it for the nursing
home within three years?
I hope you are able to
give me some advice. My
mother is in assisted liv-
ing and can support her-
self. But if her condition
deteriorates further and
she has to go to a nursing
home, her funds will be
used up twice as fast as
now. Courtney, via
email

Katie Mehl receives two honors for

Public Relations professionalism


Katie Mehl, public relations coordi-
nator for Citrus Memorial Health Sys-
tem and president-elect for the Nature
Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Re-
lations Association, has suc-
cessfully completed the
Examination for Accreditation
in Public Relations, entitling
her to use the APR profes-
sional designation. B
The accreditation program
aims to improve the practice of
public relations by assessing
competence in 60 areas of Katie
knowledge, skills and abilities
associated with the profession. Candi-
dates who successfully complete the
rigorous process are granted the APR.
Professionals earning the APR must
maintain their credential through con-
tinuing professional development, pro-
viding leadership to the profession and
serving their local communities.
"Earning the APR reflects a mastery
of the knowledge, skills and abilities
needed to succeed in our increasingly
complex profession," said Janet E. Kac-
skos, APR, Fellow PRSA, 2012 chair of


the Universal Accreditation Board.
"Practitioners who achieve the desig-
nation are demonstrating their com-
mitment not only to our profession, but
also to a strong code of ethics
and to the betterment of their
organizations and clients."
Adding to that distinction,
3 Mehl received another local
> honor when the Florida Public
B Relations Association (FPRA)
recently named Katie Mehl,
APR, to its FPRA Rising
Mehl Leader Class of 2012. The class
consists of seven public rela-
tions professionals from the state.
Members of the FPRA Rising Leader
Class are eligible to win the Joe Curley,
APR, CPRC Rising Leader Award,
which identifies and honors up-and-
coming individual FPRA members for
their personal dedication and demon-
stration of emerging leadership traits
along with dedicated active involve-
ment in FPRA chapter activities, pro-
grams, functions and events.
Congratulations to Citrus County's
own, Katie Mehl!

Oak Hill Hospital
gets certification
SPRING HILL- Oak Hill
Hospital has earned an addi-
tional certification from The
Joint Commission. Its Or-
thopaedic & Spine Institute is
the first orthopaedic program in
the region to earn The Joint
Commission's Gold Seal of Ap-
proval for its hip and knee re-
placement program by
demonstrating compliance with
The Joint Commission's Na-
tional Standards for health care
quality and safety in disease-
specific care. The certification
award recognizes Oak Hill Hos-


pital's dedication to continuous
compliance with The Joint
Commission's state-of-the-art
standards.
Oak Hill Hospital underwent
a rigorous on-site survey June
29. The Joint Commission eval-
uated Oak Hill Hospital's Or-
thopaedic & Spine Institute for
compliance with standards of
care specific to the needs of
patients and families, including
infection prevention and con-
trol, leadership and medication
management.
"With Joint Commission certi-
fication, we are making a signif-
icant investment in quality on a
day-to-day basis from the top
down. Joint Commission ac-
creditation provides us a frame-
work to take our organization to
the next level and helps create
a culture of excellence," said


Mickey Smith, Oak Hill Hospital
CEO. "Achieving Joint Commis-
sion certification in hip and
knee replacement, for our or-
ganization, is a major step to-
ward maintaining excellence
and continuing improving the
care we provide."
The Joint Commission's Dis-
ease-Specific Care Certification
Program, launched in 2002, is
designed to evaluate clinical
programs across the continuum
of care. Certification require-
ments address three core
areas: compliance with consen-
sus-based national standards;
effective use of evidence-based
clinical practice guidelines to
manage and optimize care; and
an organized approach to per-
formance measurement and
improvement activities.
Founded in 1951, The Joint


Commission seeks to continu-
ously improve health care for
the public, in collaboration with
other stakeholders, by evaluat-
ing health care organizations
and inspiring them to excel in
providing safe and effective
care of the highest quality and
value. The Joint Commission
currently certifies more than
2,000 disease-specific care
programs, focused on the care
of patients with chronic ill-
nesses such as stroke, joint re-
placement, stroke rehabilitation,
heart failure and many others.
The Joint Commission also pro-
vides health care staffing serv-
ices certification for more than
750 staffing offices. An inde-
pendent, not-for-profit organiza-
tion, The Joint Commission is
the nation's oldest and largest
standards-setting and accredit-
ing body in health care. Visitt
www.jointcommission.org.
Oak Hill Hospital has been
serving the Nature Coast since
1984. It is at 11375 Cortez
Blvd., Spring Hill, 1.9 miles east
of U.S. 19 on State Road 50.

Veterans may apply
for fee waiver
TALLAHASSEE The De-
partment of Business and Pro-
fessional Regulation (DBPR)
encourages military veterans
who have been honorably dis-
charged within the past 24
months to apply for a new licen-
sure fee waiver available
through the department.
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.
"We 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."
The waiver can be down-
loaded from the department's
military services webpage at
www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr
/dbprmilitary.html and should be
included in applications for pro-
fessional licensure.

MONEY
Continued from Page D1

DEAR COURTNEY: I
know of no recapture or call
back on a gift. Under the
IRS provision, you may give
$13,000 to each person every
year. If, however, something
of value is transferred, i.e., a
home, real estate, etc., and
the donor receives Medi-
caid within the five-year
"look-back" period, the state
can then move against that
property to attempt to be
reimbursed.
Transferring property can
be looked at as, and usually
is, a method to impoverish a
person so he or she can col-
lect Medicaid without any
possibility of reimburse-


ment. Essentially, people
are taking assets that they
prefer went to their heirs
and having them trans-
ferred so they do not have to
pay their own bills. I will
leave it to you to determine
your view of the morality of
this type of move.
DEAR BRUCE: My mother
and I were having a discus-
sion recently about her house
and how we need to legally
prepare for the possibility of
her needing long-term care,
and when the time comes,
her death. I am worried that
if she needs long-term care,
the state could take the
house. My father, who is now
deceased, worked so hard to
pay off that house that I
would be heartbroken if that
happened.
My mother went through


a bad time when her father
died because nothing was in
my mother's name. My fa-
ther died a few months after
my grandfather, and had al-
ready transferred all his
property to my mother, so
she had few legal issues. We
had to go through probate
with her father's property
and money, and to this day it
is still not all resolved due to
the laws here in Virginia.
I have one sibling, and my
mother owns her property,
has stocks and owns a vehi-
cle. My sister and I need to
find out what is the best way
to prepare for my mother's
long-term care or death in
order to keep the property
and stocks safe and avoid a
lot of legal battles for trans-
fer of ownership.
What are your sugges-


tions? C.L. in Virginia
DEAR C.L.: I understand
your concerns. What you're
saying is, if your mom re-
quires public assistance, you
want to be sure she doesn't
use her own funds, which
would then be dissipated
and not go to you and your
sibling as an inheritance.
You're not alone in this
type of thinking. As I have
commented often in these
columns, the morality of that
is subject to your own inter-
pretation. The question I
would ask on behalf of the
public is why should we pay
for your mother's care when
the assets she and your dad
worked for are available to
be spent for her benefit?
In answer to your question,
you must transfer the prop-
erties five years before the


need arises. This is called
the "look-back" period. If you
transfer them inside this
five-year period and your
mom requires Medicare as-
sistance, the state has a right
to go after those assets upon
her demise.
There are lots of folks
who think, and I may be one
of them, that it's such a
shame people work all their
lives only to have their as-
sets dissipated at the end
for medical care. Whether
or not what amounts to so-
cialized medicine is the an-
swer, is a subject of great
discourse these days.
DEAR BRUCE: We saw
your recent article where
you gave a very good expla-
nation of why umbrella cov-
erage is so necessary in this
day and age. As an inde-


pendent insurance agency,
time and again we see huge
medical bills pass through
our office. We are wondering
if you would have any objec-
tion to us copying and dis-
tributing your article to our
clients? KO., via email
DEAR KO.: As the author
I have no objection to you
copying and sharing the ar-
ticle. Thank you for your
kind words.

MALL -IE-IHMLKU MIX
Are you looking for your
new best friend? Little
Bear is an awesome
companion. He's a
2-year-old shepherd mix
whose owner gave him
up due to housing issues.
He learns quickly, knows
some basic commands
and is very laid-back and
well mannered in the
house, preferring to rest
on the floor wherever his
human is. While he gets
along well with other dogs
on walks and on public
outings, he would do best
in a home without other
dogs or cats. He is heart-
worm negative and has
already been microchip-
ped. His adoption fee of
$60 includes vaccina-
tions, neutering, free obe-
dience class and a month
of free pet insurance.
Meet him to see if he's
the perfect dog for you.

Smart irrigation systems save water


When it comes to irrigation sys-
tems, many people have a "set
it and forget it" attitude. But
keeping the irrigation system on all
the time especially during the rainy
season can lead to
wasted water, higher bills,
more maintenance and ( "
plant problems such as root
rot and fungus. "
Florida Statute Section
373.62 now requires an op-
erational rain sensor on all "
irrigation systems. Why not
go a step further by invest-
ing in a "smart" irrigation Audre
technology that can reduce
irrigation by 70 to 90 percent F
without sacrificing plant
quality? This technology prevents
wasteful irrigation that has no benefit
to your plants.
A rain sensor is connected to an au-
tomatic irrigation system and meas-
ures rainfall. It causes the system to
skip an irrigation cycle in the middle
of a rainstorm or prevent an irrigation
cycle from occurring, usually between
12 to 24 hours after a rainfall event.
A soil moisture sensor, on the other
hand, is also connected to an automatic
irrigation system, but measures the soil
moisture each time the irrigation sys-


I
ir


tem is scheduled to operate. If soil
moisture is adequate at the time of a
scheduled irrigation event, the sensor
will prevent the irrigation system from
turning on. A soil moisture sensor will
not cause the irrigation sys-
tem to operate on an un-
scheduled day
A February 2008 quote
S 'from a Sugarmill Woods res-
ident about this "smart" tech-
nology says it all: "I recently
installed a soil moisture sen-
sor and it has cut my water
use by 80 percent! It was the
y Durr best $250 that I have ever
spent. More people should
rN know about this product" In
recent years, soil moisture
sensors have become less expensive,
smaller and more accurate, ranging in
price from $75 to $200.
UF researchers Dr Michael Dukes
and Bernardo Cardenas-Lailhacar have
found potential water savings, without
any decrease in plant quality, of 17 to 34
percent using a rain sensor versus 70 to
90 percent using soil moisture sensors.
Water conservation and an attractive,
healthy landscape are compatible when
"smart" irrigation technology is used to
reduce or eliminate excessive irrigation
that does not benefit plants.


If you would like to permanently re-
duce your water use, there are plenty
of plants, both exotic and native, that
are well-adapted to Florida's ex-
tended dry periods. Almost all of the
plants in our Florida-friendly Learn-
ing Landscape (behind the Extension
office at 3650 W Sovereign Path,
Lecanto) have required little or no ir-
rigation since they were established.
Perennial peanut, Chinese fringe
bush, firebush and pentas are just a
few options. Use the interactive plant
database at www.FloridaYards.org to
create a full list of plants for your yard.
For more information on Florida-
friendly landscaping, call 352-527-
5708, or send an email to
Audrey.Durr@bocc.citrus.fl.us. For
more information online, visit Citrus
County's website at www.bocc. cit-

Hand-painted vase hails from pre-1921 Japan; set of spoons


Dear John: This vase
and wicker table was
given to my wife by
her grandmother about 60
years ago. How
long she had them
I do not know. My
wife passed away
in 2003. I am 84
years old and be-
fore I pass on, I
want to know if
they are worth
anything before I
give them to my John S
children.- R.H.T, SIKOF
Homosassa AT
Dear RLHT.: The A
hand-painted
porcelain vase was made in
Japan. The word Nippon that
is stamped on the bottom of
the vase indicates it was
made prior to 1921. In 1921
Nippon was dropped and re-
placed with the English word
Japan. Nippon-marked prod-
ucts have been a category of


I


1


collecting for decades. Col-
lectors refer to the category
as Nippon. You did not in-
clude the dimensions. Cur-
rent potential
dollar value de-
pending on size is
in the $100 to $300
range.
The wicker table
appears to be in
good condition.
Potential dollar
value is below $50.
ikorski Dear John: I
tSKI'S never miss your
IC column in the Cit-
r _ic rus County Chroni-
cle, and have
wanted for years to ask you
about this seven-piece set of
silver teaspoons. There are
six spoons and one sugar
spoon. They originated in
England at least 100 years
ago, maybe more. The set
was passed down to my wife
some 30 years ago from her


mother, who was willed it
from her mother. The history
before that is unknown.
As you can see from the
email photos, the set was the
creation of WC. Mann Ltd.,
Goldsmiths, of Gloucester
England. The markings on
each handle are too tiny for
my camera but I have offered
a very rough sketch of the
symbols as I can best inter-
pret them. The case is a blue
leatherette that has seen bet-
ter days. The clasp is a push-
button, snap-close that
functions well. The spoons
are a clean, smooth, brilliant
silver or silverplate.
We have the usual ques-
tions. Should we keep the set
to pass on to the next genera-
tions or melt it, or sell it to a
collector? And what value
might it have if sold? Thank
you for whatever information
you may be able to provide.
- TLaP, Hernando


Dear T.LaP: You have a
good-looking boxed set of six
spoons. The small spoon is
not part of the set. It appears
to be a tea caddy spoon and
in a collecting category of its
own. The label on the inside
of the box lid is the jeweler in
Gloucester, England that re-
tailed the set of spoons. The
silversmith's marks are im-
pressed on the back of the
handles. The drawing of the
marks you included is not
clear enough for me to say
anything about metal content
or maker. Use a hand magni-
fier and look closely at the
marks, or perhaps you can
make a rubbing with pencil
and paper of the marks. Let
me know what you discover.
See ATTIC/Page E8
This small set of spoons was
evidently produced in Eng-
land around 100 years ago.

commonly sold in Florida. From Zones
11 and 12 of the humid jungles of India,
Myanmar and Sri Lanka L. speciosa,
Queen or Giant Crape Myrtle is also
called Pride of India. It is a large tree,
up to 80 feet tall in the wild. Its timber
was once used for ship building.
Panicles of rose, purple or white flow-
ers can be 16 inches long with showy,
suborbiculate petals over 11/4 inch long
and 3/4 inch wide. Leathery leaves sev-
eral inches long turn copper-red in au-
tumn. Such a giant, single-trunked tree
is too tall for a home garden.
The harsh pruning practice nick-
named "Crape Murder" involves lop-
ping off all the branches before leaves
sprout in spring. Resulting suckers are
weakly attached, very fast growing and


still bear heavy panicles by summer.
In South Florida, heavy rains and
strong winds can cause the branches
to snap off. Frost-tender, this tropical
would be killed in a winter freeze.
The crape myrtle common locally is L
indica or its many cultivated hybrids.
They tolerate freezes from southern New
England's Zone 6 to subtropical Zone 11
in South Florida. The indicaspecies ma-
tures as a small tree, about 25 feet tall.
Shorter hybrids between L indicaand L
fauriei, a Japanese species, usually max
out at 15 to 18 feet tall if not pruned. They
are resistant to powdery mildew if
planted in full sun with ample space and
air flow Many have native Amerindian
names: 'Catawba' has purple flowers;


'Tuscarora' flowers are crimson-pink;
'Natchez' is creamy-white.
The U.S. Department ofAgriculture
developed dwarf varieties like 'Chick-
asaw,' maturing about 2 feet high with
a low, mounding habit and lavender-
pink flowers. Linda Moran grows spe-
cialty dwarf crapes at her fruit farm on
Rooks Road south of Floral City. I
propagate several named varieties for
visitors to my garden.
Flowers are largest at the tips of
strong new growth. Avid gardeners
prune back branches to nubs in late
winter to promote many strong-grow-
ing suckers and consequently many
more flowerheads in summer. If left
unpruned, the tree will be open, with

Playgrounds get natural spin


Associated Press
In this photo provided by Natural Playgrounds Com-
pany, a labyrinth playground is shown. Natural Playgrounds
offers labyrinths because "walking the labyrinth" can be very
calming for children and adults. In this photo pro-
vided by the Natural Playgrounds Company, a Pebble Harp is
shown. The structure makes beautiful, tinkling, harp-like
sounds when children drop pebbles down the slots in the
top, and pebbles drop out the bottom, ready to be reused to
make more music.


Designer seeks to send children'splay spaces on a nature hike


KIM COOK
For The Associated Press
Architect and playground
builder Ron King is part of a ro-
bust movement to bring back
more natural play, with environments
that serve up some messiness and
risk-taking along with exercise.
Kids may play on equipment for a
short time, he says, "but then they want
to run around. They want to climb a
hill, scramble over rocks, listen to the
wind and play in the rain. They want to
explore and discover rather than have
their play experience defined by a
piece of equipment"
So when his company, the Concord,
N.H.-based Natural Playgrounds,
builds a playground for a school or
community, he tries to incorporate


any equipment into the existing land-
scape, using or adding boulders,
wooden beams, hammocks, water
pumps or sand. Polycarbonate slides
are built into embankments so the
slides can be higher but the falls
aren't as dangerous. They're also
treated so that static electricity does-
n't interfere with cochlear implants,
and they're heat-resistant
He might put in a water pump that
needs to be primed, and sand that
can be sculpted. Cedar, steel and cop-
per can be turned into drums, musi-
cal fences, and tubular contraptions
that make interesting sounds when
gravel, water, sticks or hands come in
contact with them. There are places
to play quiet games, and also room to
run with the gang.
Having the opportunity to do both


is optimal, says Susan Solomon, au-
thor of "American Playgrounds" and
the upcoming "The Science of Play"
(both from University Press of New
England). The trend toward more
natural playgrounds, she says, is due
partly to the high cost of the prefabri-
cated, themed structures (jungle, pi-
rate ship, tiny town) found in so many
playgrounds today It's also the result
of growing interest in nature and
local products, and of parental nos-
talgia for what is remembered as a
more unfettered childhood.
Playgrounds in recent years in-
cluding some natural playgrounds -
have gotten a little tame, Solomon
says. Safety and liability concerns
have driven out many tall or fast

pieces of equipment.
And with them some of the fun.
"They don't allow kids to take
chances," Solomon says.
"Risk involves uncertain outcomes
- going fast, reaching great heights
or even hiding, in order to overcome
primal fears and create
exhilaration."
Restoring some of that excitement
safely is one goal of designers of nat-
ural playgrounds.
The Woodland Discovery Play-
ground at Shelby Farms Park in
Memphis, Tenn., is a 3.5-acre amal-
gam of nature, naturalistic elements,
and steel and plastic structures. It
was developed by the New York-
based design firm James Corner
Field Operations after a series of
workshops with local kids.
"What was so remarkable was that
most children actually preferred


woodland exploration to playing on
the existing playground that occu-
pied the site," says the firm's senior
designer, Sarah Weidner Astheimer.
The resulting playground consists
of six play "nests"; features include
climbing walls, a bright red sus-
pended net, a variety of swings, tree
forts, vines and a place for quiet play
A mix of natural and manmade
challenges is also the recipe recom-
mended by Paige Johnson, who
writes a blog called Playground De-
signs. A few natural rocks and tree
stumps aren't enough, she says.
"Some advocates even reject
swings or slides, but the experience

of dynamic motion, where a child
feels a temporary loss of body con-
trol, is part of great play," she says.
"It makes even grownups laugh."
A natural playground needs a few
key elements, according to Johnson:
a hill, boulders and stumps to climb
on; rocks and gravel to dig in; paths


and perhaps a little bridge to tra-
verse; and a gate or door that kids
can turn into a portal of their own.
Finally, there should be a pile of
loose parts: wood blocks, bricks or
boxes of donated junk that can be
turned into an imaginative, free-
wheeling experience.

large dense crowns that act
like sails, catching wind and
rain. Trees with large
amounts of moss that get
very heavy during rainy
conditions and trees with
dead wood are vulnerable
to damage as well.


The National Arborist As-
sociation (NAA) tells us that
in certain species of trees,
1/3 of the canopy can safely
be pruned without remov-
ing too much of the energy-
producing foliage. Other
species of trees cannot tol-
erate this practice of
pruning.
A qualified arborist can ex-
plain to you on site, prior to
any work being done, how a


proper Class 2 is performed.
Whenever possible, begin
structural pruning on a tree
when it is young. This will
ensure strong development
as the tree matures.
Additional precautions
include putting your trees
on an annual feeding pro-
gram. Feeding programs
consist of dry or liquid fer-
tilizer, micro injections, wet


and dry inoculation and a
number of other techniques.
An arborist can identify the
proper type of fertilization
needed based on the site,
soil, drainage, and species
of the tree. A healthy tree is
a strong tree.
It is usually when the
storms are brewing that
people begin to worry about
the safety of their property


These concerns should be
evaluated before the threat
of a storm. A qualified ar-
borist can identify weak or
problem trees and recom-
mend a solution.
