MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Due to cedar Key's geographic location between two freshwater rivers many consider oysters from Cedar Key to be some
of the best tasting found anywhere in Florida. But this year the oyster crop has taken a massive hit and oystermen are
struggling to find live oysters.


From salinity to tropical weather,


A.B. SIDIBE
Staff Writer
It appears a myriad of reasons are
being put forward to explain the
near-collapse of the oyster industry
in the state.
Last week during a visit to Franklin
County, Gov Rick Scott suggested the
federal government release more
fresh water from a Georgia lake to
offer proper balance for oysters in
their Panhandle delta reefs.
State agriculture officials say the
severe drought and heat created an
imbalance with the special mix of salt
and fresh water needed for robust
oyster growth.
The head of a fishermen's group in
Wakulla County blames the industry's
woes on storms and over-harvest.
Mark Berrigan, aquaculture devel-
opment chief of the Florida Depart-
ment of Agriculture, said while
oysters are resilient, hot water stress
can wreak havoc with oyster beds.
"I think the drought we had in past
few years contributed to the high
salinity in the estuaries," Berrigan
said.
He said the salinity, coupled with
high water temperatures this sum-
mer, stressed the oyster beds and per-
haps helped strengthen an oyster
parasite called Perkinsus Marinus or
dermo.
"This parasite is already in oysters
and during the extreme summer
heat, they can kill some of the oys-
ters," Berrigan said.
He said the past years' drought has
been the worst in decades, causing
levels of many rivers that empty into

the Gulf in the Big Bend area to
diminish.
Berrigan said officials recently
conducted checks on baby oyster or
spats and found enough of them
thriving to engineer a comeback sea-


son, "but we wouldn't know for sure
until we check again in the spring."
He said the Big Bend area has been
through similar droughts and oyster
bed deaths, but this year's problems
seem to be more widespread. Berri-
gan said one of the lingering issues
for the season also would have to be
about dealing with another issue.
"I think a lot of the oyster beds from
last year have already been har-
vested, which would mean there
wouldn't be any oysters left in those
areas," he said.

The dearth of oysters just
a little more than a month
into the season has yet to
trickle down to consumers,
but if the scarcity persists
diners will feel the pinch
soon.
Local coastal seafood
businesses already have
noticed slight increases in
oyster prices.
Marie Price of Charlie's
Fish House in Crystal
River said they have no-
ticed a rise in the past
month.
"It has gone from $12.99
a pint to $14.99 a pint,"
Price said. "So we are
keeping an eye on it, but
unless they go back to the
way things were, I think

Dying oyster

once-thriving

industry

-CEDAR KEY
t is written large on
the faces of the hard-
scrabble oystermen
and -women.
Their skins are deeply
browned and creased
from years, days and
hours of exposure to the
unrelenting and lingering
Florida sun.
The people are part of
the multi-generational tra-
dition of extracting gnarly,
irregular-shaped mollusks
- oysters from the
sounds and bays that dot
the state's Big Bend area.
From Waccasassa Bay
on through the Suwannee
Sound past the bend into
Apalachicola Bay, their in-
dustry and way of life is
besieged by the vagaries
climate and what some de-
scribe as government in-
flexibility regarding rules.
So far, the 2012 oyster
season, which began Sept.
1, is widely regarded as
poor and perhaps the
most extensive failure of
the oyster reefs in
generations.
Ten percent of the na-
tion's oyster supplies and
90 percent of the state's
supplies come from this
region.
In an industry where a
typical harvester can haul
in an average of 15
bushels of oysters a day,
this year the oystermen
struggle to make two to
four bushels.
"Oysters are dead. The
oysters are dead," Danny
Beckham shouted over the
whir of his skiff's motor as
he plowed through white
foam in his wake heading
recently to an estuary on
the southern reaches of
the Suwannee Sound.
"The question is, what are
we going to do about it?"
He said the dying oyster
beds, and what he consid-
ers restrictions placed on
oystermen like him, are
conspiring to end a mar-
itime heritage.
"My family has done this
for four generations. I
have done it for 55 years.
My grandson comes out
here after school to do it,
too," Beckham said.
"I feel like we are in the
middle of the end for what
we do."
Little to show
for lots of work
Upon arrival at an estu-
ary near the Gulf of Mex-
ico, three other skiffs were
anchored over the oyster
reefs in estimated 6-foot-
deep water Men wielded
10-foot-long, scissor-like
rakes called tongs to
dredge the bivalves from
the bottom. The oysters
are then heaved over the
tiny skiff's gunwale and
dumped on the bow for
culling.

the others, Beckham
heard a familiar sound:

BP fine might be


windfall for Levy


Estimate ranges

from $2.;7 to

$10.9 million

Lou ELLIOTT JONES
Chiefland Citizen
When the Deepwater
Horizon oil rig exploded
and crude oil gushed into
the Gulf of Mexico, folks in
Levy County warily watched
to see if oil would reach the
county's coastlines and clam
beds.
While the oil came no
closer than 250 miles, it af-
fected Levy's tourism and
aquaculture businesses as
visitors vacationed else-
where and stopped buying
Florida seafood, fearing
contamination.
Now the county could re-
ceive a share of the fines to
be paid by BP operator of
the oil rig under the fed-
eral Clean Water Act.
A Florida Association of
Counties (FAC) consultant
told the Levy County Com-
mission in its Tuesday meet-
ing BP is expected to be
fined between $5 billion to
$20 billion, with Levy's
share being between $2.7
and $10.9 million. FAC con-
sultant Doug Darling said
the county should join the
Gulf Consortium a group
of counties along the Gulf
that will facilitate receiving
the money from a trust fund
established by Congress and
send to the five states af-
fected by the spill instead
of going to the federal
government.
"There are those who
would like this to fail," he
said.
The consortium is a way
to have the ability to spend
the money "without being
dictated to."
"The consortium will be
in the driver's seat," Darling
said.
The county agreed and
will pay the $640 share of
the money to join the con-
sortium. Commissioner
Ryan Bell of Chiefland, R-
District 4, was appointed as
its representative, because
his district includes Cedar
Key, the county's major
tourism and aquaculture
spot. The commission also
named Commissioner Mar-
sha Drew of Yankeetown, D-
District 3, and county
coordinator Fred Moody as
alternates. The consortium
will meet for the first time
Oct 22 in Tallahassee.
Darling ran through a
laundry list of ways the RE-
STORE Act, passed by Con-
gress earlier this year, can
be spent. The list includes
ecological, wildlife and nat-
ural resource restoration,
promoting seafood and
tourism, economic develop-
ment, port infrastructure,
workforce development and
job creation.
"There's not much on that
list that would not benefit
your county," Darling said.
Another fund shared by
six federal agencies and five
states would provide money
for more focused projects.
"You could spend it on
oyster renourishment or
seagrass renourishment,"
he said, adding the county
should take its comprehen-
sive plan off the shelf and
use it in planning how to
spend the money
He noted other money is
coming from the spill that
the county could share since
it is specifically for the 23
Florida counties on the
Gulf.
"This 30 percent could be
$300 million to $1 billion
and Florida gets 19 to 20
percent of this," Darling
said.
Commission Chairman
Danny Stevens of Williston,
D-District 5, asked whether
the consortium had an expi-
ration date. Darling said it
will continue "until all the
money is exhausted." He re-
minded the commission the
settlement from the Exxon
Valdez oil spill in Alaska in
1989 is still coming in.
Darling said a federal trial
is due to start in mid-


January in Louisiana to as-
sess fault in the Deepwater
Horizon incident, but BP is
expected to settle out of
court

Levy seeks BP
marketing money
Lou ELLIOTT
JONES
Chiefland Citizen
The Levy County tourism
director has learned market-
ing money from BP is avail-
able to promote tourism and
Florida fresh seafood, and
she is going after it despite a
short deadline.
It is part of a $57 million
fund created in April as part
of a court settlement by BP
to defray the effects of the
massive oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico from the Deepwater
Horizon oil rig in 2010.
Carol McQueen, director of
the Tourist Development
Council and Levy Visitor Bu-
reau, told the Levy County
Commission on Tuesday the
money is being made avail-
able by BP as a result of the
oil spill. She said the maxi-
mum amount available is
$500,000, but she will apply
for $200,000. She said the
money can be used for pro-
motion of aquaculture, fish-
ing, festivals and production
of videos, among other items.
"I just learned about this
on Thursday," she said in ex-
plaining why she had a non-
agenda item to bring before
the commission.
The deadline to apply was
Friday, Oct. 5, she said.

tainted with

meningitis
Chronicle
State and federal agen-
cies have advised all
Florida health care facili-
ties and practitioners to
stop using products from
the company linked to
pain medicine tainted
with meningitis.
The Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), Food and
Drug Administration
(FDA), the Department of
Health (DOH) and the De-
partment of Business and
Professional Regulation
(DBPR) issued the state-
ment Saturday telling the
facilities to pull them
from their shelves until
they have been deter-
mined safe by the CDC
and FDA.
The contaminated lots
of Methylprednisolone
Acetate have been found
and removed from eight
Florida facilities, includ-
ing three in Ocala. Two
cases of patients with
meningitis have been
found in Marion County.
The advisory urged "pa-
tients known or suspected
to have received back in-
jections with NECC
Methylprednisolone Ac-
etate from the suspected
lots should be evaluated
immediately by their
health care professional."
According to the advi-
sory, the medications are
not used for epidural
analgesia in labor and de-
livery The meningitis is
not contagious and cannot
be spread from person-to-

King of Rock 'n Roll shakes into town


Elvis impersonator

toperform Oct. 19

at Central Ridge

BROOKE PERRY
Correspondent
The King is making his way back
to Citrus County on Friday, Oct. 19,
to the Central Ridge Community
Center at Beverly Hills.


Tampa-based award-winning
Elvis impersonator Billy Lindsey
will be the entertainment for an up-
coming event, which will include
music, dancing, fun and food.
Dina Emmanuel, supervisor for
community centers for Citrus
County, had the idea to use the show
as a fundraiser for the now-self-
funded community center building.
"The funds will help maintain
and keep the facility going,"
Emanuel said.
The community center offers its
users a fitness center, shuffleboard,


pool, tennis court and various dance
classes, including Zumba. More
than 400 individuals are members.
"The fundraisers have always
brought in many people," Emanuel
said. "They can sit, relax, dance; it's
a lot of fun, and Billy Lindsey is a
great entertainer"
Lindsey isn't a new entertainer to
Citrus County residents.
"I've been doing Elvis for 14
years," Lindsey said. "He was my
childhood hero."
Lindsey was named winner of
The Elvis Extravaganza at the 2012


Florida State Fair, in addition to
being the overall champion and fan
favorite. He was also crowned King
of South Tampa by The Tampa Trib-
une last summer
Lindsey said his favorite thing
about performing "is watching
everybody have a good time, I really
enjoy singing."
Doors will open at 5 p.m. and the
event will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets
are $5 for members and $7 for non-
members. Tickets can be pre-
purchased by calling the commu-
nity center at 352-746-4882.


'A smile on his face'


Family,friends

reminisce about

Vaccianna 's life
ERYN WORTHINGTON
Staff Writer
He stood outside of the church
doors offering everyone a big
smile and firm handshake. He
held his smile and talked about
the many fond memories of his
son. The pain could be heard,
though, through his voice as he
prepared himself for his son's
memorial service.
A memorial service for Derrick
Vaccianna, 28, of Hernando, was
Saturday at The New Church
Without Walls in Hernando.
According to earlier reports,
Vaccianna was involved in a con-
frontation and tussle with Citrus
County Sheriff's Deputy Gregory
Entrekin and a then-unnamed
woman at her residence on Eden
Drive. Following the confronta-
tion, the off-duty deputy fired a
shot, striking Vaccianna in the
chest. Vaccianna was transported
to Citrus Memorial Health Sys-
tem where he later died.
Friends and family joined the
Vaccianna family Saturday to cel-
ebrate his life.
"I'm convinced that everyone
is here today not to celebrate that
Derrick died but that he lived,"
Frederick Simmons said.
Many tears were shed, but even
more smiles were shown. Those
who spoke in front of the crowd
spoke of Vaccianna's "conta-
gious" smile.
"You couldn't run into Derrick
and not be moved by the spirit
that he had in him," Simmons
said.
Simmons described Vac-
cianna's love for sports and com-
petition on the field. He
illustrated how he and Vaccianna
played a game called "21" on the
basketball court. Simmons told
the crowd he "beat the pants off
Derrick."
As they chuckled, Simmons
said it made him feel good about
himself.
"Even after losing really bad, a
couple of times, he still had a
smile on his face," Simmons said.
The next Sunday, Vaccianna
showed up at church with a soc-
cer ball. Vaccianna then "beat the
pants off" Simmons. The congre-
gation laughed, knowing of Vac-
cianna's soccer capabilities.
"I was like 'Man I suck'," Sim-
mons said. "Derrick was like 'No,
you don't suck. I just changed the
game on you.' That's what we can
all learn from Derrick is to
change the game."
Simmons said this was the type
of "swag" that Vaccianna had.
New Church Without Walls
pastor Doug Alexander inter-
preted "swag" as Vaccianna
being "cool." Alexander said he
got it from his parents, Derrick
and Dorothea Vaccianna.
"Derrick touched many lives,"
Alexander said. "He was a very
respectful young man. He always
said 'Yes, ma'am' and 'Yes, sir'
He was a great young man with a
great upbringing. He got his swag
from his parents."
Simmons explained the memo-
ries everyone has is because Vac-
cianna lived. He linked
Vaccianna's life, smile and the
love for soccer as one.
His passion for soccer was vis-
ible at his memorial. Signatures
and messages were written all
over a soccer ball passed around
the church for family and friends
to sign.
Vaccianna's memorial service
included a personal touch from
his brother, Kevin Vaccianna. He
wrote a poem describing how
God needed one more player for
his soccer team. Kevin Vaccianna

for $250 and forging the victim's
signature.
Smail also admitted to using a
stolen identification and passing the
check at the Suncoast Schools Bank in
Inverness. He placed his thumbprint
on the stolen check. The thumbprint
was later matched to Smail.
After a positive K9 alert was con-
ducted on Murphy's and Black's vehi-
cles, a search revealed numerous
stolen items belonging to victims of
seven conveyance burglaries and one
residential burglary
Smail and Murphy were placed
under arrest at the Citrus County De-
tention facility and were incarcerated
for other charges related to the
affidavit.
Black was released on her own
recognizance.

Flaunt photos
of fall foliage
Do you miss watching the
leaves change color? You are
not alone; many others living in
Citrus County enjoy the warm
weather but long for the days
when the changing of the sea-
sons meant an explosion of
color.
The Citrus County Chronicle
is hosting an online contest
through the end of October. We
want your fall color photos. The
photos can be from any where
in the country or world where
leaves change. Go to
www.chronicleonline/fallfoliage
and upload your photos each
week. We will select the best
photos on Thursdays from the
top vote getters and publish
them in Sunday's newspaper
each week. You will not need to
resubmit the same photo each
week; we will consider all pho-


tos submitted for the month at
the end of each week. Photos
should not have been taken be-
fore September 2011. Make
sure you have permission to
use the photos if you are not
the original photographer.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Week in state gov't: Supreme Court in session


MICHAEL PELTIER
The News Service of
Florida
TALLAHASSEE -As the
nation tuned in for the first
of three presidential de-
bates this week, Tallahas-
see's attention focused
heavily on the state
Supreme Court.
The court heard argu-
ments in a range of contro-
versial cases that included a
parental-rights fight be-
tween former lesbian part-
ners; an undocumented
immigrant's attempt to be-
come a lawyer; a long-
running debate about nu-
clear-power costs; and a dis-
pute about university
tuition.
Meanwhile, three justices
fought back in a political
battle with Republican
leaders and conservatives
who want them replaced.
Outside the court, regula-
tors approved new rates for
Citizens Property Insurance
Corp. customers for 2013,
while business groups and
the state's consumer advo-
cate traded salvos about an
effort to reduce the number
of policies in the state-
backed insurance pool.
JUDGES ON HOT SEAT
The Supreme Court typi-
cally hears oral arguments
one week each month. And
this week was a doozy
The court heard argu-
ments about whether the
Florida Board of Governors
has the power to determine
tuition and fees for public
universities, a power that, if
granted, would take that au-
thority away from the
Legislature.
A skeptical court listened
as an attorney for a group
led by former U.S. Sen. Bob
Graham argued a 2002 con-
stitutional amendment es-
tablishing the Board of
Governors implicitly gave it
the authority to set tuition
and fees.
Justices also said they
may be powerless to let an
undocumented immigrant
practice law in the state, de-
spite recent federal moves
to create a pathway to per-


manent status for immi-
grants brought to the coun-
try as children.
In a case that has drawn
national attention, the
Florida Board of Bar Exam-
iners asked justices to
weigh in on whether it
should waive rules, set up in
2008, and allow Jose
Godinez-Samperio to be ac-
cepted as a Bar member de-
spite the fact he is illegally
residing in the country
In another case, the court
raised doubts about a chal-
lenge to a 2006 law that has
led to customers of two util-
ities paying for future nu-
clear reactors that might not
be built.
The Southern Alliance for
Clean Energy filed the legal
challenge after the PSC late
last year approved allowing
Florida Power & Light and
Progress Energy Florida to
pass along $282 million in
nuclear-project costs to cus-
tomers in 2012.
From nuclear power to
nuclear family, the court
also heard arguments in a
legal battle that raises new
questions about parental
rights after the break-up of
same-sex relationships.
A Brevard County case
pits two women who were
lesbian partners when they
decided to have a child. It is
unique because one of the
women provided an egg that
was fertilized and im-
planted in the other woman,
who later gave birth. After
the relationship ended, the
woman who gave birth
blocked her former partner
from having parental rights.
Florida law gives egg or
sperm donors limited rights,
but some justices wondered
if the laws were written with
anonymous donors in mind
and did not reflect other
situations.
At one point, Justice Bar-
bara Pariente raised the sce-
nario of a man who
impregnates a woman in a
"one-night stand" and re-
ceives parental rights. She
questioned whether two
women who decide to raise a
child should have lesser
rights and said that could cre-


ate issues of equal protection.
In most years, merit re-
tention votes don't draw
much attention, as sitting
appellate judges and
Supreme Court justices qui-
etly return to office.
This year, some conserva-
tive groups and the Repub-
lican Party of Florida are
attempting to unseat three
veteran justices who have
repeatedly come under fire
from conservatives for rul-
ings going back more than a
decade.
On Friday, Justices R.
Fred Lewis, Barbara Pari-
ente and Peggy Quince at-
tended a forum at the
Florida State University
College of Law to talk about
merit retention as the trio
tries to counter the push to
send them packing.
Collectively, they have
raised more than $1 million
to keep their jobs. Last
month, the RPOF voted to
officially oppose the justices
for a series of rulings that
have not gone Republicans'
way
Among others joining the
fight is Americans for Pros-
perity, a group funded by
conservative billionaires
Charles and David Koch.
The justices have been
joined by a group, Defend
Justice from Politics, which
supports their retention
efforts.
CITIZENS IN THE NEWS
The state-backed insurer
was in the news this week as
the Florida Office of Insur-
ance Regulation approved
rates for 2013 that will boost
premiums by 10.8 percent
for Citizens Property Insur-
ance Corp. customers.
Following more than a
month of review and multi-
ple hearings by Citizens
board members and the
agency, OIR approved new
rates that will affect most of
the company's 1.4 million
customers on policies re-
newed after Jan. 1.
State lawmakers and OIR
officials have been trying to
boost Citizens rates in re-
cent years to make them
more comparable to rates
that would be charged by


the private market in some
of the riskiest areas of the
state.
Lawmakers, however, lim-
ited annual increases to 10
percent, a cap critics say has
hindered efforts to depopu-
late the state-run pool that
has become the largest
property insurer in the
state. The cap, however,
does not include higher
costs for hurricane catastro-
phe insurance, resulting in
rates climbing higher than
10 percent
The rate hikes come amid
growing efforts by Citizens
to reduce its ranks. This
week, a plan to use $350 mil-
lion in surplus to coax pri-
vate companies into taking
policies out of Citizens drew
concern from Florida's in-
surance consumer advo-
cate, who called on the
insurer to provide much
more data surrounding the
proposed loan program.
In a letter to Citizens
Chairman Carlos Lacasa,
consumer advocate Robin
Westcott put forth a lengthy
list of questions surround-
ing a deal approved in Sep-
tember by Citizens' board of
governors to provide 20-
year, low-interest loans to
private carriers to partially
offset the risks associated
with Citizens policies.
Business groups, led by
Associated Industries of
Florida, jumped to Citizens'
defense, saying the loan
program is needed to help
re-invigorate the state's pri-
vate insurance market
ELECTION UPDATE
Florida's effort to remove
non-citizens from the ranks
of voters took another step
forward this week.
A federal judge ruled
there's no time limit for the
state to push for the removal
of voters who were never
supposed to be registered,
and an effort to clean the
rolls of non-citizens can con-
tinue until the November
election.
Judge William Zloch
ruled Secretary of State
Ken Detzner is within the
law in seeking the removal
of voters from the rolls who


were never supposed to be
there. Opponents con-
tended federal law pre-
vented such purges within
90 days of the election.
"Certainly, the 'National
Voter Registration Act' does
not require the State to idle
on the sidelines until a non-
citizen violates the law be-
fore the State can act,"
Zloch wrote.
STORY OF THE
WEEK: The Florida
Supreme Court took up a se-
ries of high-profile cases,
which dealt with issues


such as university tuition,
nuclear power costs and the

they were being dumped on
skiff bows.
"Did you hear that? They
are dead. It sounds like bro-
ken glass because the shells
are empty," Beckham said.
The men continued to
plunge the rusty, iron-forged
tongs into the shell-laden
bottom and in a shallow arc
dump more of it onto their
boat bows. The sun hung
high with some clouds in the
distance as the ritual
continued.
A lean woman wearing
sunglasses, a well-worn
baseball hat and football
jersey sat with a hammer-
like culling iron, ferreting
the good from the bad.
Her hands, like the oth-
ers, are rough hewn. In her
holding hand, she had on a
Kevlar-type glove.
Mike Roach, who was
working solo, had his bow
piled high with oysters.
After five hours of deliber-
ate and muscle-fueled work,
he had only two bushels.
"Hopefully, I can get an-
other bushel from this,"
Roach said, pointing to his
pile.
George Stevens had also
been there for hours, but
only had two bushels.
"That's like $50 from
working all day," Stevens
said.
"We used to make $150 to
$200 a day," he added.
Ronald Fred Crum, head
of the Wakulla Fishermen's
Association, which also rep-
resents the oystermen, said
he has been working over-
time to find solutions for an
industry in crisis.
Crum said the industry
workers need help and soon.
"We can't and should not
shut down the season as
some are suggesting. We
need some entitlements,
help for these people. We
should subsidize what they
are making right now and
allow the industry to re-
cover in about two years,"
Crum said.
"Let's reward effort and
hard work. These people
have families and bills to
pay They need help and we
need answers," he added.


MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Danny Beckham has been an oysterman for 55 years. Beckham says that, in years past, a hard day on the water would
yield about 20 bushels of oysters. Today, he's lucky to catch two bushels in the same amount of time.


The close-knit fishing community in Cedar Key has been hit hard by the difficult times.


Cedar Key oysterman
Beckham has been supple-
menting his meager harvest
with a smoked mullet and
dip business, but said sales
from that business are
hardly sufficient to offset


the loss of revenue from the
scant season.
Oysters typically take 15
to 18 months to recover,
which means next year's
season also could be af-
fected. Oyster season run


through May
Gov Rick Scott visited
Franklin County on Wednes-
day and said up to 2,500 jobs
are at risk in that county
alone because of the poor
harvest.


We can't
and should not
shut down the
season as some
are suggesting.
We need some
entitlements,
help for these
people. We
should subsidize
what they are
making right
now.

Ronald Fred Crum
Wakulla County Fishermen's
Association.

Scott has declared an
emergency from Levy to
Franklin counties. The
emergency declaration
means the counties involved
will now be eligible for fed-
eral aid.


Day in and day out, the oystermen continue to search for
their quarry, hoping in time the fishing will improve.

have to look at adjusting his prices accord-

Sandy Stone, owner of Sandy's Produce

County Road 24 and Wooten Avenue in

Jean Ramin, 91
HOMOSASSA
Jean Katherine (Ribbe)
Ramin passed away Sept. 4,
2012, in Homosassa, Fla.
Born July 27, 1921, in Mil-
waukee, Wis., she was pre-
ceded in death by beloved
husband, Dr. James E.
Ramin; much-loved daugh-
ter Donna Stanelle; and sis-
ter Charlotte
Bentschneider. She leaves
behind son Scott Ramin and
wife Kathy of Mount Vernon
Wash.; daughter Debra
Ramin of Wasilla, Alaska;
former son-in-law Chuck

Clinger and husband Kevin
of Mount Vernon, Wash.,
Jesse Peterson of Wasilla

and wife Rebekah of
Phoenix Ariz.; eight great-
grandchildren; and her
treasured dog, Jasmine.
Jean was a homemaker
for her entire life. She was a
gracious hostess, an avid
gardener, an animal lover
and a reader. Most of her
life was spent pouring her-
self out for those she loved
most. In earlier days, she
loved to knit and sew and
has left behind many hand-
made treasures.
She handled the difficul-
ties life brought her with
strength and grace, and was
a good example of personal
responsibility for all for us.

Those who knew her will re-
member her laugh and her
positive outlook on life.
Jean was always looking
ahead with a plan. Of spe-
cial significance was her
love for children all chil-
dren. Jean had a deep ten-
derness for the youngest of
us. She will be greatly
missed.

R.B. Greaves, 68
SINGER
LOS ANGELES R. B.
Greaves, a pop singer whose
"Take a Letter, Maria" was a
1969 hit, died Sept. 27 in Los


SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 All
Angeles. He was 68.
Ronald Bertram Greaves
died of prostate cancer at
his home, said Craig Harvey,
Los Angeles County coro-
ner's chief of operations.
Greaves was a nephew of
the legendary R&B singer
Sam Cook. He was born on a
U.S. Air Force base in the
former British Guyana.
Living in the United King-
dom in the 1960s, he
recorded several soul sin-
gles as Sonny Childe.
It was after moving to the
United States that he scored
his biggest hit as R.B.
Greaves.
"Take a Letter, Maria"
tells the story of a man who
comes home to find "the
woman I thought I knew in
the arms of another man."
He dictates a final letter
to her through his secretary
with the chorus: "Take a let-
ter, Maria. Address it to my
wife. Say I won't be coming
home, gonna start a new
life."
The tune ends on a hope-
ful note, however, as the
man asks his secretary out
to dinner

Pros, cons of chicken tattoo


T y is 63 and in the
midst of a full-blown
midlife crisis. (Yes,
midlife. He plans to live to
be 126.) He told
his wife, Carol,
he was thinking
of getting a tattoo.
"Of what?"
"Oh, I don't '.
know," he said. "I
was thinking of a
crow."
Ty has been
reading a lot of JI
mysteries that
take place in the MUL
West and contain
Native American mysticism,
with birds taking on a spe-
cial meaning. He also likes
the Brandon Lee revenge
film classic "The Crow," and
was thinking of a large,
menacing bird tattooed
across his ever-widening,
hairy shoulder
Carol reads British mys-
teries, and birds and tattoos
do not play much of a part in
most of them.
"Why a tattoo? Why a
crow? What's going on?"
"I don't know," he said. "I
feel like I would be a crow if
I were a bird. It's a symbol. It
can mean a lot of different
things. I want to be different,
not like everybody else."
"Crows are nasty, noisy
birds," Carol said. "Why
don't you get a chicken? I
like chickens."
Ty was dumbstruck. A
chicken? What kind of a tat-
too is that? The whole point
of getting a tattoo is to show
people how tough you are,
what a renegade you are,
how you march to your own
drummer, how you do things
your way Is that what Carol
thought he would be if he
were a bird? A chicken?
Besides, people would
laugh at him if he got a
chicken tattoo. Ty wanted
the same kind of tattoo the
other renegades had. Carol
probably meant chickens
were cute, but Ty didn't see
it that way
"What about a turkey?"
Carol asked. She was think-
ing of a wild turkey, tail dis-
played. Ty pictured a
Thanksgiving turkey, golden
brown and sitting on a plat-
ter It was not a macho
image at all. It was obvious


Carol did not know current
tattoo trends.
If he really wanted to be a
renegade, he'd need a lot
more than a crow.
He'd need the
tree where the
crow lived and
then maybe a
scene from the
Movie, and it
I would all have to
be held together
with vines and
M mystical symbols
that would climb
LEN his arm from his
wrist to his shoul-
der Then he'd have to start
on the other side.
"I've heard it hurts to get a
tattoo," Carol rattled on. "You
know, they use a little needle
gun to do that. Then it scars
over until it heals. You would-
n't even get a flu shot last year
because of the needle."
He had forgotten about
that Maybe they could give
him some Novocain. No,
they do that with a needle.
Surely there's something
they could rub on his arm so
he wouldn't feel it


Ty started wondering how
small a crow he could stand.
But if it were too small, no
one would see it.
"A parrot," said Carol.
"Now that would be
something."
A parrot Well, there is the
pirate connection. And the

Enduring America's longest war


Mother mourns

grim milestone

for Afghan war

ALLEN G. BREED
AP National Writer
Lisa Freeman was cradling
her 6-day-old grandson in her
left arm and watching the
news on her iPad while her
daughter and son-in-law
caught some much-needed
sleep. The retired teacher
was taking notes with her
free hand when she heard
the news: The nation had suf-
fered its 2,000th casualty in
the Afghan war
On Sept 29, Army Sgt. 1st
Class Daniel Metcalfe was
on patrol in the country's
rugged Wardak Province
when his unit came under
small-arms fire.
As the announcer droned
on, all Freeman could do was
shake her head and stare at
little Matthew named for
an uncle he would never
know. Marine Capt. Matthew
C. Freeman fell to a sniper's
bullet Aug. 7, 2009, northeast
of Kabul, not far from where
Metcalfe perished.
It is almost certain Met-
calfe and Freeman both
29 when they died never
met. Freeman grew up in
the Savannah suburb of
Richmond Hill, Ga.; Met-
calfe was from the village of
Liverpool, N.Y, population
about 2,400, a few miles
north of Syracuse.
Nonetheless, they were
brothers, casualties in what
has become America's
longest war
Looking at the number
2,000 on the small, glass
screen, Lisa Freeman felt as
if she'd lost her son all over
again.
"I just sat here, reliving
the pain and wondering:
Where is America's outrage?
Where is America's concern
that we're still at war?"
"I walk around this coun-
try and look in faces that
don't even know we're at war
anymore. People (who) are
going about their everyday
lives, not realizing that
they've been kept safe by this
amazing group of young men
and women who have been
willing to sacrifice so much."
She has reason to be bit-
ter And yet, her son's story is
a shining example of how
each life and death -
touches so many others. She
and all who loved him are
bound to others in a spread-
ing web of loss and grief, and
they do not mourn alone.
Freeman's story
Matthew Freeman excelled
at everything he set his mind
to Eagle Scout, honor roll,
student council president So
no one was surprised when
he won an appointment to the
U.S. Naval Academy, follow-
ing in his father's footsteps.
After graduation in 2002, the
son and grandson of naval
aviators took his commission
in the Marine Corps and went
for jets.
Freeman was stationed in
Okinawa, Japan, in the sum-
mer of 2009 when a resurgent
Taliban began retaking areas
once thought pacified. When
officers asked for volunteers
to shore up the thin lines, the

young pilot with the striking
blue eyes stepped forward.
In July 2009, Freeman
made a secret trip home to
marry his high school
sweetheart, Theresa Hess.
He wanted to make sure she
would be notified and
taken care of-- should any-
thing happen to him.
They married July 10,

Barely two weeks into his
deployment, Freeman and a
fire support team set out for
reconnaissance in the Shpee
Valley when they came
under almost immediate
enemy attack and became


pinned down. According to
an official account, Freeman
fought his way into a nearby
building and up to the roof to
get a better angle on the
enemy position.
Once atop, he spotted an
insurgent with a rocket-
propelled grenade and was
firing at the man when he
was shot in the back of the
head. A comrade told Lisa
Freeman her son was found
with his finger on the trigger
of his rifle; its magazine was
nearly empty.
The following January,
Mrs. Freeman was visiting

Reagan turned to his wife

Each portrait takes about
five hours, though some
take longer and he has done

for funerals or memorial

miles each night, "to just be

Joshua Welle was presi-

did not know him until

mander in the Navy, is back

Afghanistan. It has become
part of his mission to re-
mind them why our troops
are still there, that the war
serves to protect the United
States. "Americans need to

news story coming out of Iraq

there's no clear victory"

Woman waits

for news about

possible infection
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
Patsy Bivins tossed and
turned all night after find-
ing out the steroid shot she
received to ease her chronic
back pain could instead
threaten her life.
For now, all the 68-year-
old retired waitress can do
is hope she doesn't develop
the telltale signs of a rare
form of fungal meningitis
health officials said has
sickened more than 60 peo-
ple in nine states: a splitting
headache, fever, stiff neck,
difficulty walking or wors-
ening back pain. There may
be hundreds or even thou-
sands more like her.
She called her doctors


Associated Press
Patsy Bivins, 68, of Sturgis, Ky., kneels down while walking
her dog Little Britches at her apartment Friday. Bivins was
injected with steroids at St. Mary Sugricare in Evansville,
Ind., who notified her of possibly being infected with fungal
meningitis.


Friday, right after her first
cup of coffee, hoping to re-
lieve the anxiety stirred a
day earlier when she
learned she might be at risk.
Bivins was told only she did-


n't need to be checked un-
less she developed
symptoms.
"I'm not sure if I like it,"
Bivins, of Sturgis, Ky., said
Friday in a telephone inter-


view with The Associated
Press. "Seems like there
should be some way to tell it
before you get the symp-
toms. Honestly, it makes me
worse than I was."
Federal health officials
said seven people have died
so far, and they fear thou-
sands more could have been
exposed. The Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention has said the out-
break may have been
caused by a steroid made by
a specialty pharmacy in
Massachusetts, where in-
spectors found at least one
sealed vial that was contam-
inated. It's not yet clear how
the fungus got into the
steroid, which is commonly
used to treat back pain. But
officials have told health
professionals not to use any-
thing made by the pharmacy
So far, the government
has identified about 75 fa-
cilities in 23 states that re-
ceived the recalled doses.


Outsourcer brings

jobs to rural village

Associated Press
SIMAYAL, India They come to-
gether each morning from the slop-
ing forests. Some walk for more
than an hour along muddy foot-
paths past terraced farms stacked
like soft green steps. Some race
their new motorbikes down narrow,
cracked roads cut into the hillsides.
The team of young men and
women wear ID cards on lanyards
around their necks and have the
rarest of commodities in rural
India, a company job.
They work mainly in data pro-
cessing for a 3-year-old business
called B2R that is using the spread
of the Internet to transport India's
outsourcing boom from metropoli-
tan Bangalore and the suburbs of
New Delhi to this speck of a farming
village in the Himalayan foothills.
Before B2R arrived, Simayal was
being drained of its bright young
men as they left for cities to search
for work. Its women had little op-


tion but to wed right out of school.
Nearly everyone's survival was tied
to the whim of the rains and prayers


for a strong harvest.
Now, men are staying. Some who
left have returned. Many women
have put off marriage to work and
are helping to support their fami-
lies. Other new businesses are
opening up.
The 50 new jobs B2R created
brought a "glimmer of hope" to the
110 families in this cluster of farm-
ing hamlets barely touched by
India's economic transformation
over the past two decades, said VK.
Madhavan, who has spent the past
eight years running Chirag, a local

suaded the 47-year-old widow to re-
tire from her $38 a month teaching

Singh Bisht, 20, helped his family
build a six-room house. Khasti Far-
tiyal, 22, started paying for one of
her sisters to go to college and
bought an essential, expensive
piece of gold jewelry for another
sister's wedding. Many bought re-
frigerators, new clothes and motor-
bikes. Many are proud just to help
buy food.
"There's a buzz around the place
that didn't exist before," Madhavan
said.

Davutoglu said this would now be the
standard response.
Davutoglu insisted that "we haven't
taken a step toward war," but Turkey's
threat to fire back for each errant Syr-
ian shell was bound to keep border
tensions high. Turkey is one ofAssad's
harshest critics and a key supporter of
Syria's opposition.
The latest Syria-Turkey crisis
erupted earlier this week, after a Syr-
ian shell killed five civilians in a Turk-
ish border town.
The Syrian regime has apologized and
tried to defuse tensions by pulling some


tanks back from the border, according to
a Turkish Fbreign Ministry official who
spoke on condition of anonymity in line
with government regulations.
Still, the week's daily cross-border
exchanges have heightened fears of a
regional conflagration.
Syrian mortar rounds are likely to
hit Turkey again as regime forces try
to retake rebel-controlled areas near
the border. Two of the shells that fell
in Turkey on Saturday were fired in
clashes between government troops
and opposition fighters in a Syrian
border village.

Autumn puts on finery

shorter and
nights become
chillier, the
annual fall foliage show
is getting under way in
the Southeast.

The first colors are beginning to
show in the higher elevations of the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
which is a popular draw for tourists in
October
Expect a good show, said Janet Rock,
a botanist in the Smokies.
"As long as we stay on track with the
weather we've had, it should be a good
year," said Rock.
The shorter span of sunlight each day
is the main trigger, but Rock said tem-
peratures and precipitation also affect
the show.
"When you have warm sunny days
and nights that don't reach freezing, it
brings out the best colors," Rock said.
The mountains weren't badly af-
fected by drought conditions that
burned crops to the west.
Leaves change color because they're
shutting down photosynthesis, which
makes food for the trees. The produc-
tion of green chlorophyll masks other
colors. However, red pigment produc-
tion also ramps up as photosynthesis


shuts down.
Here's the fall foliage outlook for
seven states in the Appalachian Moun-
tain region.
GEORGIA:
DOGWOODS VIVID
The north Georgia mountains typi-
cally showcase some of the state's
brightest fall colors, and this year will
be no exception, state forestry officials
say
Dogwood and maple trees in the
upper elevations have already begun to
change color, Ken Masten, a district
manager with the Georgia Forestry
Commission, wrote in a recent report.
"If we get a cold snap in the next two
weeks or so where it gets 15 or 20 de-
grees colder, then the colors will be a
little more vivid," said Joe Burgess, a
senior forester with the Georgia
Forestry Commission.
The colors are a big draw in north
Georgia's mountain towns, where
tourists come to see the hues of the
leaves and then stay to shop or catch
some live music at venues such as the
Crimson Moon Cafe in Dahlonega, a
town 60 miles north of Atlanta.
KENTUCKY:
HOPE FOR RED
The mountainous areas of eastern
Kentucky typically put on the best fall
color show in the state, thanks to the
variety of species and dense canopy
The first color transformations of the
season are happening on dogwoods,
sourgums and tulip poplars, which are
showing yellows.
"I think we can always count on a fair

Red leaves hang from a tree in Greens-
boro, Vt. After images of Tropical Storm
Irene scared away leaf peepers last fall,
tourists are heading back to see fall fo-
liage a year later in the Northeast and
Southeast, and aren't worried about how
the dry summer might affect the color.
degree of color in Kentucky, especially
in the east, because of this envious mix
of trees that we have," said Dean Hen-
son, naturalist at Pine Mountain State
Park in southeastern Kentucky. He said
the forests there have up to 35 species
of leaf-dropping trees.
The dry summer hasn't hurt the
state's prospects for a colorful fall, but
the weather over the next two weeks


will determine if the most desirable
colors the reds and purples come
out this year, Henson said.
NORTH CAROLINA:
STARTING TO SHOW
The Blue Ridge Mountains are fa-
mous for showing their true colors each
fall, drawing visitors from around the
globe. And with dry summer days soon
to be followed by cool summer nights,
those bright colors may be coming
sooner
North Carolina's foliage season starts
in earnest in the high mountain areas
in October and runs through mid-No-
vember, with colors cascading down to
lower elevations throughout the month.
In the highest areas, sourwoods are
turning red, while maples are changing
to shades of yellow, orange and red.
High bush blueberries are turning a
deep red, while sassafras is starting to
turn its usual mixture of the same
colors.
"Following one of the hottest sum-
mers on record, the North Carolina
Piedmont is looking forward to a beau-
tiful fall season," says Dick Thomas of
the Piedmont Environmental Center
SOUTH CAROLINA:
EARLY START
The drought that has dried up the
state for much of the summer means
that South Carolina's fall foliage will be
vibrant and early this year
Blackgum, flowering dogwood, sour-
wood and sweetgum trees are already
beginning to display shades from yel-
low to orange and bright red. But some
of those same trees are already
starting to drop their leaves, due to dry
conditions.

Iguazu Falls

Stephen and Gloriela Hendrickson photographed this rainbow above the Iguazu
Falls on their Dream Vacation to Argentina. Brazil and Paraguay can be seen in
the background. The 267 falls are arranged in sort of a reverse letter "J." The
border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat. On the right
bank is the Brazilian territory, which has just over 20 percent of the jumps of
these falls, and the left-side jumps are Argentina's, and make up almost
80 percent of the falls.

Dear Annie: I am 40
years old and have a
younger brother. My
mother died a few years ago.
My father is 67, in good
health and very active. We
all live near one another.
In June, I received a
Facebook message from a
woman in another state say-
ing she is the mother of
Dad's 42-year-old son. It in-
cluded contact information
for "Chris" and a
few photos of him
with my Dad
when Chris was
about 10. Chris is
now a successful
businessman
with a wife and
two kids. Chris
agreed that it
would be nice to
know his siblings.
However, out of
respect for us, he ANN
will do nothing
unless we make MAIL
the first move.
As you can imagine, I hit
the roof. I am furious that
my parents hid this from us
all these years. My brother
and I visited Dad, who was
quite upset that this woman
had made contact. He said
she was merely a girl he
dated after college and the
child was "an accident." He
supported Chris financially,
but there was minimal con-
tact because Chris' mom
moved around a lot
It bothered my mother
that Dad would visit Chris,
so he hasn't seen him since
that photo was taken. Dad
asked the woman never to
contact my brother or me.
Chris sent an occasional
Christmas card to Dad, but
that was it

Here is the problem: Dad
said he would be extremely
angry if we chose to commu-
nicate with Chris. Annie, we
don't have much family.
Chris is our brother. Have
we lost too many years to
start a relationship? How
should we handle this and
keep the peace with Dad? -
New Sibling
Dear Sibling: This is no
longer Dad's decision to
make. You are an
adult. Your adult
half-sibling
would like to be
S in touch.
Whether or not to
make contact is
up to you, and
yes, you could
certainly have a
relationship at
any age.
Dad will be
IE'S upset, but we
think he will
.BOX eventually for-
give you. And
who knows? Perhaps he
would even be willing to get
to know his oldest son some-
day We hope so.

AUTUMN
Continued from Page All

"The limited summer
rains came just in time,"
said Victor Shelburne, pro-
fessor emeritus of forestry
and natural resources at
Clemson University. "While
we're still in a drought, we
received enough rain to
keep most of the leaves on
the trees."
Colors are expected to be
most brilliant around mid-
October in the higher ele-
vations, late October in the
lower elevations and early
November in the Pied-
mont.

TENNESSEE:
COLOR TEASING
Smokies spokeswoman
Molly Schroar noted yellow
birch, American beech,
mountain maple and hob-
blebush have begun turn-
ing high in the mountains,
giving a hint of the rich
show to come. But Shroar
suggested looking down
now and then, to see black-
eyed Susans, purple asters,
goldenrod and other fall
flowers just hitting their
peak.
"We're getting teased a
little bit by Mother Nature
now," said Cindy Dupree of
the Tennessee Department
of Tourism as she looked
out her car window at hints
of red sumac and golds in
the maples. "It won't be
long until it's spectacular"
"On down in the Chat-
tanooga area, that gets just
as pretty as I've seen any-


where," Dupree said.

VIRGINIA:
PLENTY OF COLOR
With terrain varying from
the mountains to the coast,
Virginia offers an array of
hues for leaf-peepers as 15
million acres of foliage
change colors.
Expect yellow and ma-
roon on ash trees, scarlet to
purple on the state's dog-
woods, and golden bronze

Tribe tab Francona
as new manager
CLEVELAND -A per-
son familiar with the deci-
sion said the Cleveland
Indians have chosen Terry
Francona to be their next
manager and are working
with him on a contract.
Francona, who led
Boston to two World Se-
ries titles, was offered the
job on Saturday, a person
with knowledge of the
team's search told the As-
sociated Press. The per-
son spoke on condition of
anonymity because the
sides have not yet reached
agreement on a deal.
Francona interviewed on
Friday, one day after the
club met with interim man-
ager Sandy Alomar Jr.
Francona previously
worked as an adviser in
Cleveland's front office.

Cueto to injury
SAN FRANCISCO -
Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto
left his Game 1 start

The Red said he is day
to day. The right-hander
threw a second strike to
No. 2 hitter Marco Scutaro
and walked off the mound
in obvious pain. A trainer
and manager Dusty Baker
rushed out to check on
him, and the 19-game
winner came out moments
later.

Consol is on fire.
The Crystal River senior cross
country runner took fifth in the
Land 0' Lakes Gator Invitational
cross country meet Saturday
She was the best Citrus County
finisher, running a time of 20:21 on
the shady course with a mix of grass


and pavement Citrus harrier Alyssa
Weber was eighth (20:28). Lecanto's
Chloe Benoist was 13th (20:49).


It was a pain and
gain situation for
Consol.
"There was a lot
of pavement," she
said. "It hurt my
calves."


Consol won the Beat the Sheriff
race a week earlier. A soccer


standout, she is in her first year of
cross country
"Clarissa is doing great," said
Crystal River girls
coach Lisa Carter.
"She's really
strong, really con-

GAINESVILLE This was
old-school football at its best, the
kind of performance only South-
eastern Conference loyalists
could love.
And Florida yes
Florida was the
team putting on a
show.
Mike Gillislee ran
for a career-high 146
yards and two touchdowns,
bringing the 10th-ranked Gators
to life in the second half as they
upended No. 4 LSU 14-6 on
Saturday


Led by Gillislee and a domi-
nant defense, Florida's grind-it-
out victory avenged a 41-11 loss in
Baton Rouge last season, handed
the Tigers their first regular-sea-
son loss in 19 games and gave
coach Will Muschamp a
signature win in his
second season.
Muschamp's trans-
formation of the
Gators from spread-of-
fense speed-merchants to
hard-running street fighters
seems to be complete. It was the
program's first victory against a
ranked team since beating rival
Georgia in 2010.


"We wanted to hurt them,"
Florida defensive end Do-
minique Easley said. "We wanted
them to feel the pain that we felt
last year. We had hurt in our
heart, so we wanted them to feel
that same thing."
Linebacker Jon Bostic and
safety Matt Elam provided big
plays on defense. Gillislee once
again carried the load on of-
fense, carrying 34 times.
Together, they wore down the
Tigers (5-1, 1-1 SEC) in the second
half no surprise since the
Gators (5-0, 4-0) have been doing

Glennon found Bryan Under-

pass on fourth down with 16
seconds left, helping North
Carolina State rally to beat
third-ranked Florida State 17-

The Seminoles (5-1, 2-1 At-
lantic Coast Conference) ap-
peared poised to strengthen
their grip on their division,
leading 16-0 at halftime be-
hind a dominating defensive
performance. But the Wolf-
pack (4-2, 1-1) inched closer
after halftime before coming
up with a game-turning
blocked punt with 2:27 left,
giving the ball back to Glen-
non at the FSU 43 with a
chance to complete a stun-
ning comeback.
Glennon marched the Wolf-
pack down the field and com-
pleted a pair of fourth-down
passes, the second when he
found Underwood alone over
the middle to tie the game
and take the lead on the ensu-

FSU drove near midfield in
the final seconds, but the

Irish blast 'Canes


No. 9 ND nabs

41-3 triumph

over Miami

Associated Press

CHICAGO Cierre Wood
and George Atkinson III gave
Notre Dame its first 100-yard
rushing duo in a decade, and
Everett Golson came off the
bench to lead the No. 9 Irish
to a 41-3 victory over Miami
on Saturday night in what
was a very tame sequel to the
famed "Catholics vs. Con-
victs" rivalry
Wood rushed for 118 yards
and two touchdowns, and
Atkinson added 123 yards
and another score. Golson,
who sat the first series as
punishment for violating
team rules, completed his
first six passes and finished
17 of 22 as Notre Dame im-
proved to 5-0 for the first
time since 2002.
The loss snapped a three-
game win streak for Miami,
which was held to just 285
yards after piling up 1,260
yards and 86 points in its
previous two games. The
Hurricanes (4-2) were hurt
by at least a half-dozen
drops by their receivers, in-
cluding two certain touch-
downs by Phillip Dorsett on
Miami's very first drive.
Miami's only points came
on Jake Wieclaw's 28-yard
field goal in the first quarter
Back in the 1980s, Notre
Dame-Miami was perhaps
the nastiest, most hotly con-
tested rivalry in college foot-
ball. Most entertaining, too.
Both teams were ranked
in the top 10 when they met
in 1987, '88, '89 and '90, and
from 1987 through 1989 the
winner went on to win the
national title. The teams
didn't like each other, either,
and made no secret of it Po-

Dame Stadium in 1988.
In a video posted on
Notre Dame's website, for-
mer Irish coach Lou Holtz
said he urged his team to
avoid any on-field incidents
against Miami.
"After we win the game, if
Miami wants to fight, fine,
we'll meet 'em in the alley,"
Holtz, on the video, recalled
saying to his team. "And if
they do, you save Jimmy
Johnson's (butt) for me."
The Irish stormed out of
the locker room and beat
Miami 31-30. Many still con-
sider it the best home win in
Notre Dame history, and it
propelled the Irish to their
eighth and most recent-
national title.
The teams played the
next two years before the ri-
valry was discontinued,
with Notre Dame officials
feeling "it brought out the
worst sides of fans." (Con-
sidering it was Notre Dame
fans who came up with the
"Catholics vs. Convicts"


moniker, it's hard to argue
with them.) It would be 20
years before the teams
would meet again, in the
2010 Sun Bowl.
But that old chippiness
was nowhere to be found at
Soldier Field. Most of the
Irish and Hurricanes weren't
even born in 1988, and it's
hard to nurse a grudge when
the history is so ancient.
Hard when the game is
such a mismatch, too.
Miami should have been
up 7-0 after its first series,
but Dorsett dropped two
surefire touchdowns, the
second going through his
hands on the goal line. In-
stead of making the Irish
play catch-up, the Hurri-
canes were forced to punt.
Then, after chasing
Tommy Rees off the field in
three plays, the Hurricanes
gave them a second chance
when Gabriel Terry was
called for roughing the
kicker. Golson replaced


Rees and, six plays later
rushed for what looked like
a touchdown. He was ruled
down at the 1 upon review,
but Theo Riddick scored on
the next play and Notre
Dame was off and running.
After a missed field goal
just before halftime left the
Irish with a slim 13-3 lead,
they broke the game open on
the first series of the second
half. Taking off from the
Miami 39, Wood ripped off a
long run up the right sideline
that looked like it was good
for a touchdown. But reviews
showed he stepped out at the
2. No matter. He rumbled
right up the middle on the
next play to give Notre Dame
a 20-3 lead with just under 12
minutes left in the third.
The Irish chewed up 86
yards, all on the ground, on
their next drive, capping it
with a 3-yard run by Wood.
That gave Notre Dame a 27-
3 lead, and the game was all
but out of reach.


Temple rolls past



South Florida


Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -
Marcus Green blocked a
late field goal attempt and
Montel Harris scored two
touchdowns to lead Tem-
ple to a 37-28 victory over
South Florida in a Big East
Conference matchup
Saturday.
The game marked Tem-
ple's re-entry into the Big
East after the Owls were
kicked out of the confer-
ence in 2004.
Temple snapped a two-
game losing skid with the
victory, improving to 2-2
overall and 1-0 in the Big
East. After South Florida
opened the season with a
pair of victories, the loss
was the Bulls' fourth-
straight defeat, dropping
them to 2-4 overall and 0-2
in the conference.
"I thought our kids were
scratching, and fighting
and clawing and not re-
lenting, and had two losses
against two good football
teams, and our kids never
blinked," Temple coach
Steve Addazio said. "This
is a great win for our pro-
gram. It's an emotional
win. It's Temple back in
the Big East Conference,
our first Big East game
making a statement that
our program is headed in
the right direction and

we'll be a valued member
in this conference."
Harris, a transfer from
Boston College, erupted for
a season-best 133 yards on
24 carries and two fourth-
quarter touchdowns.
Temple's Chris Coyer
was a very efficient 16 for
20 for 167 yards, throwing
for one touchdown and
scoring the first TD of the
game on a 24-yard run on
the Owls' first possession.
"It was a great team ef-
fort, and my offensive line
opened up some holes, but
it was a great team win,
and it was in the back of
my mind that I wasn't able
to show people how good I
could play," said Harris,
who had been hampered
by a hamstring injury that
limited him to 15 carries
for 35 yards in two games.
"I think this says we're not
just a team everyone can
run over. I would say I
think this week I felt my
leg getting back to normal."
South Florida was in po-
sition to take the lead late
in the fourth quarter. But
on third-and-one at the
Temple 23, with around
1:30 left to play, Demetri
Murray went wide and was
pulled down by Temple
linebacker Tyler Matake-
vich, a true freshman who
had a team-high 15 tackles,
for a five-yard loss.

ing six sacks in each of
their last two games.
They've faced rookie or
second-year quarterbacks
in each of their last three
games, and won all three.
That combination of inex-
perience at quarterback
and a relentless pass rush
has worked in Cincinnati's
favor.
"In the quarterback's
mind, his clock is sped up
and he really has to get rid
of the ball, he can't hold
onto it," safety Chris
Crocker said. "Our defen-
sive linemen are very tall
guys. Just them getting
their arms up, getting
around him it's uncom-


fortable. As long as they
continue to get the pres-
sure like they're getting,
then we'll make a lot of
plays."
In Miami, it's all about
getting Tannehill ready to
face the heat.
The eighth overall pick
in the draft had a sensa-
tional day during a 24-21
overtime loss at Arizona,
completing 26 of 41 for 431
yards the most yards
ever by a rookie quarter-
back on the road and the
second-most overall. He
had two bad moments that
turned the game, both
when the Cardinals got
pressure on him.


Jags prepare for physical Bears


Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE
When asked what Chicago
Bears defensive end Julius
Peppers brings to the table,
Jacksonville Jaguars guard
Uche Nwaneri responded
with arguably the perfect
one-liner
"A lot of problems," he
said.
Here's the bigger
predicament for the
Jaguars (1-3): Peppers isn't
the only one wreaking
havoc on Chicago's defense.
The Bears (3-1) have
smothered their last two op-
ponents, stuffing the run and
forcing turnovers in the
passing game. Now they face
the league's worst offense in
Jacksonville and it looks
like a Sunday mismatch.


The Jaguars have man-
aged a combined 329 yards
in two home games, a 117-
yard effort against Houston
in Week 2 and an even
more baffling, 212-yard out-
put against injury-riddled
Cincinnati last week.
"I can't explain it," coach
Mike Mularkey said. "I've
told them that, at some
point, it's going to go our
way I feel like when it does,
it's going to happen in
bunches, and I think they
believe the same thing."
The one thing the
Jaguars seemingly have in
their favor is they're getting
the Bears on a short week.

Southeastern Conference)
won their school-record 10th
straight game with a per-

Eastern Division front-run-
ner and maybe showed
they're capable of even more.
Those tests come soon as
South Carolina travels to
once-beaten LSU next week
and then to Florida on Oct.
20. It'd be hard to pick
against the Gamecocks after
this one.
South Carolina grounded
"Gurshall," holding Geor-
gia's stellar freshmen Todd
Gurley and Keith Marshall
to 76 yards combined. The
Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1) finished
with 224 yards, less than
half their season's average
coming in.

Smith passed for four touch-
downs, leading No. 8 West Vir-
ginia to another wild shootout

Smith, who has 24 touch-
down passes this season with-
out an interception, hit Tavon
Austin with a 6-yard score with
10:50 left to play. Andrew Buie
ran for 207 yards and two
touchdowns, the second com-
ing giving the Mountaineers a
critical 10-point lead late.
West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didn't
seal the win until recovering an
onside kick with 14 seconds left
after Texas scored a touchdown
on a pass from David Ash to
Marquise Goodwin.
Joe Bergeron scored four
touchdowns, all on short runs,
for Texas (4-1, 1-1).

Klein finished with 129 yards
passing and 116 yards rushing
to help the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Big
12) pile up more than 50 points
for the third straight year against
their biggest rival. They've won
four straight against the Jay-
hawks (1-4, 0-2) since Bill Sny-
der returned as coach.
The longtime Kansas State
coach probably had some choice
words for his team at halftime,
when a slew of mistakes resulted
in a modest 21-14 lead. But the
Wildcats scored four touchdowns
in the third quarter, three in a
span of about 5 minutes, to put
the game away.

plays later for a safety.
No.14 Oregon St. 19,
Washington State 6
CORVALLIS, Ore. Jordan
Poyer had three interceptions,
Sean Mannion passed for 270
yards and No. 14 Oregon State
survived a shaky start with a 19-
6 win over Washington State.
Markus Wheaton had 95
yards receiving and a touch-
down but it was the Beavers
defense which kept the
Cougars at arm's length on the
day when Mannion, who threw
three interceptions, was more
down than up.
Oregon State (4-0, 3-0 Pac-
12) has surpassed its win total
from all of 2011, but many in the
school-record crowd of 46,579
were left shaking their heads at
penalties and turnovers as the


offense sputtered. Mannion
completed 25 of 42 passes and
was sacked three times.
Iowa St. 37,
No. 15 TCU 23
FORT WORTH, Texas -
Jared Barnett threw three
touchdowns to Josh Lenz, who
later had a scoring toss of his
own on a trick play, as Iowa
State ended TCU's FBS-best
12-game win streak.
It was the first Big 12 home
game for conference newcomer
TCU (4-1, 1-1), which played
without suspended quarterback
Casey Pachall.
Barnett was 12-of-21 passing
for 183 yards and ran nine
times for 30 yards in his first
start this season for the Cy-
clones (4-1, 1-1).
No. 17 Oklahoma 41,
Texas Tech 20
LUBBOCK, Texas Landry
Jones passed for two touch-
downs, Blake Bell ran for two
more and Oklahoma beat Texas
Tech to avenge a home loss to
the Red Raiders in 2011.
The win was crucial for Okla-
homa to remain in the conver-
sation for the Big 12 title.
Both of Jones' touchdown
passes went for 13 yards -
one each to Justin Brown and
Kenny Stills. Bell, in at quarter-
back, scored his touchdowns
from a yard out.


Javon Harris put the game
out of reach midway through
the third quarter when he re-
turned an interception 46 yards
for a TD to put the Sooners (3-
1, 1-1) up 38-13.
No. 18 Stanford 54,
Arizona 48, OT
STANFORD, Calif. Chase
Thomas intercepted a tipped
pass by Matt Scott in overtime,
Stepfan Taylor ran for a 21-yard
score two plays later and Stan-
ford rallied from a two-touch-
down deficit to stun Arizona.
Josh Nunes threw for a ca-
reer-high 360 yards and two
touchdowns and ran for three
more scores for Stanford (4-1,
2-1 Pac-12) to offset Scott's
record-setting performance.
Scott completed 45 of 69
passes both school records
- for 491 yards and three
touchdowns until Henry Ander-
son tipped his final pass in over-
time that Thomas intercepted.
Arizona (3-3, 0-3) amassed 617
total yards.
No. 20 Miss. St. 27,
Kentucky 14
LEXINGTON, Ky.- Tyler
Russell passed for two touch-
downs and Mississippi State
held Kentucky to just 228 yards
on offense in the victory.
LaDarius Perkins carried 25
times for 110 yards, including a
31-yard score, and Devon Bell

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -
Quarterback Matt McGloin
scored on a 5-yard run with
2:37 left and Penn State rallied
from 11 points down in fourth
quarter to beat Northwestern.
The Nittany Lions scored
three times in the final 9:49,
starting with McGloin's 6-yard
touchdown pass to Allen Robin-
son as the receiver dragged
along the back line of the end
zone. Michael Zordich had a 2-
point conversion run to get
Penn State within 28-25 before
McGloin's scramble into the
end zone sent the homecoming
weekend crowd into a frenzy.
Penn State (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten)
stuffed a last-gasp drive after
Trevor Siemian's pass was
tipped away on fourth down.
McGloin finished 35 of 51
passing setting a school
record for completions in a
game for 282 yards and two
scores. Zack Zwinak ran for

that all season. Florida,
which trailed 6-0 at halftime,
also came from behind to
beat Texas A&M and Ten-
nessee on the road last
month.
This one was even more
impressive.
"They beat us down last
year," Elam said. "We had to
come back. We had some-
thing to prove. We had a plan
to hit them in their mouth,
and we executed."
The Gators harassed quar-
terback Zach Mettenberger,
pretty much shut down run-
ning backs Spencer Ware,
Kenny Hilliard and Michael
Ford, and completely wore
down LSU's vaunted
defense.
Mettenberger completed
11 of 25 passes for 161 yards,
with an interception. LSU
finished with 42 yards rush-
ing, three more than whatAl-
abama held the Tigers to in
last season's Bowl Champi-
onship Series title game. The
Tigers were 1 of 13 on third
down and finished with just
eight first downs three on
penalties.

is sick, sick with knowledge
that they could have played
better," LSU coach Les Miles
said.

The Lecanto High girls
finished seventh (156 points)
out of 23 teams. Despite
missing two key runners,
Crystal River finished ninth
at 209 points. The Citrus
girls were 14th (409).
"We ran well as a team,"
said Lecanto High head
girls coach Dan Epstein.
"The humidity was really
tough on the girls. Some of
our girls were upset. I told
them listen, you beat some
of the top girls. This is going
to be a good indication of
where we stand in districts."
Belleview's Catherine
Blaney won the girls race
(19:47).
Crystal River High's
Brandon Harris was the top
Citrus County boy finisher.
He was 28th after running a
20:11.
Lecanto's Sam Alford was
38th (18:29).
The Lecanto boys were
eighth (281 points). Crystal
River was just behind at

"Roselle Lattin has done
a great job with the team,"
said Lecanto boys assistant
coach Robert Dupler. "They
are working hard. They ran
a very strong race."
Citrus is having problems

strength coach Jeff Dillman
and the team's continually
improving offensive line -
the same one Muschamp
called soft late last season -
for the victory Gillislee got
props, too.
"I'll take Gilly over any-
body," Muschamp said. "I tell
him that all the time and I
mean that I felt that way in
spring and going into fall
camp. ... He's a Will
Muschamp guy He don't ever
say anything, he just does his
job, lines up, runs the ball. If
you ask him to block, he's
going to block. If you ask him
to catch the ball, he's going to
catch the ball. He just is a re-
ally, really, really good foot-
ball player."
It was Gillislee's third 100-
yard game of the season, and
it came against one of the
league's most feared fronts.
Highly touted defensive ends
Barkevious Mingo and Sam
Montgomery were neutral-
ized much of the day Line-
backer Kevin Minter had a
career day, finishing with 20
tackles despite missing a few
plays while dealing with leg
cramps.
Minter had two of LSU's
five sacks in the first half,
helping the Tigers hold
Florida to 47 yards at the
break.
But the Gators looked
completely different after in-
termission. They went to a
heavy package featuring two
extra offensive linemen to


"The humidity is not our
friend right now," said Cit-
rus High boys coach James
Martone. "We are working
towards district. Cameron
Grant ran an 18:54 (48th
place). He would like to be
in the 17s and is working in
that direction."

"God's play" and it worked
to perfection.
Florida scored on consec-
utive drives by running on 17
of 18 plays. Gillislee ended
both of them with 12-yard
touchdown runs, one in the
third quarter and another
early in the fourth.
"They were definitely
more physical than last
year," Mingo said.
The Gators ran the ball on
their final 25 snaps, gashing
the Tigers between the tack-
les.
"Them boys was huffing
and puffing," Easley said. "I
was looking in people's eyes
and they were scared. That's
what we wanted. We wanted
to take somebody's will. We
like to take people's will, not
just win the game. Make
them remember this night"
Maybe the play of the
game came between those
game-changing, run-oriented
drives. Elam stripped Odell
Beckham Jr following a 56-
yard reception on third
down.
Initially, the officials ruled
Beckham was down when
the ball came out. Replays,
though, clearly showed the
ball coming out before his
knee hit the ground. The play
was reversed, and Florida
seized the momentum.
"It was a hustle play,"
Elam said. "It was all in-
stinct. It was great effort that
paid off."

Pitching pays off


Associated Press
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander throws Saturday during the first inning of Game I of the American League
Division Series against the Oakland Athletics in Detroit.


Verlander aces A's in Detroit's 3-1 victory in Game 1 ofALDS


Associated Press

DETROIT Justin Verlander al-
lowed a home run to the first batter of
the game and quickly shrugged it off.
This hard-throwing ace doesn't usu-
ally hit his stride until a bit later
Verlander shut down Oakland after
that early slip, and Alex Avila home-
red in the fifth inning to lift the De-
troit Tigers over the Athletics 3-1
Saturday night in the opener of their
best-of-five AL playoff.
Verlander allowed three hits in seven
innings and matched his career post-
season high with 11 strikeouts. As usual,
he seemed stronger in the later innings,
striking out the side in the sixth and the
first two hitters of the seventh. That
made up for Coco Crisp's home run that
quieted the Comerica Park crowd just
one batter into the game.
"I was a little out of synch but was
able to get some outs with guys on
base and keep the score at one run,"
Verlander said. "The adrenaline got
me a little bit early"
Joaquin Benoit pitched the eighth
and Jose Valverde struck out two in a
perfect ninth for the save.
Oakland's Jarrod Parker allowed
two earned runs in 6 1/3 innings and
took the loss.
Game 2 is Sunday, with Doug Fister
taking the mound for Detroit and left-
hander Tommy Milone for Oakland.
It was only the second victory for
Detroit in its last seven series open-
ers. The Tigers lost Game 1 to the
Yankees in the division series last
year before winning in five. Detroit

then lost the opener of the AL cham-
pionship series to Texas.
After winning their final six games
to take the AL West in shocking fash-
ion, the As made their presence felt
right away in Detroit. The home
crowd greeted Verlander with a roar
and a sea of twirling white towels
when he popped out of the dugout
and headed to the mound to start the
game, but Crisp was unfazed. He


pulled Verlander's two-strike fastball
just inside the pole in right field to
put Oakland on top.
The AL Central-champion Tigers tied
it immediately Austin Jackson's hard-
hit ball deflected off diving shortstop
Stephen Drew and into short left field.
The Detroit leadoff man ended up with
a double and went to third when
Quintin Berry slapped a single to third
offDonaldson, who also could only get a
piece of the ball while diving for it
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabr-
era, who went hitless, grounded into a
double play, but Jackson came home
to make it 1-all.
Drew finally made a diving play in
the second, sprawling to his right on
Delmon Young's grounder and then
throwing to first for the out. At the
plate, the As made Verlander work,
forcing him to throw 61 pitches in the
first three innings. The Detroit ace
struck out Brandon Moss to end the
Oakland third with a 99 mph fastball
- but Verlander was having to reach
back for extra speed early
Parker looked sharp early but al-
lowed another run in the third be-
cause of a fielding mishap. With two
out and a man on second, Berry
chopped a soft grounder to the right
side. Parker came off the mound to
field it, but with the speedy Berry hus-
tling to first, Parker lost control of the
ball with his glove hand for an error
that allowed Omar Infante to score.
It looked like Parker may have
been trying to flip the ball with his
glove to his first baseman, who wasn't
on the bag.

LOS ANGELES The onscreen
love between Queen Latifah, Alfre
Woodard, Jill Scott and Phylicia
Rashad in the updated version of
"Steel Magnolias" is real.
The actresses, who take on the
roles originated by Sally Field,
Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton and
Olympia Dukakis in the 1989 film,
bonded in real life just like their
characters do in Truvy's salon.
"It's been a love fest," said Scott,
who plays Truvy, adding she would
have taken any role to be a part of
the star-studded, small-screen
retelling of Robert Harling's stage
play and original film, set to pre-
miere Oct. 7 on Lifetime.
The new "Steel Magnolias," pro-
duced by Academy Awards produc-
ers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron,
maintains the flavor of Harling's
story, only this time with an all-
black cast
Zadan said he learned over a
lunch discussion with Harling
about the story that his "dream
would be to do it again but do it with
an African-American cast," the pro-
ducer recalled. "It could be like a
completely new film that you've
never seen before. We thought, wow,
that's a great idea, so we called our
friends and made the movie."
(Latifah, also an executive pro-
ducer of "Steel Magnolias," previ-
ously worked with Zadan and
Meron on "Chicago" and
"Hairspray")
Harling's words are essentially
unchanged in the updated version,
producers said, save for references
to Facebook and Michelle Obama
and some medical details that re-
flect advances in science.


Latifah and Condola Rashad
play mother and daughter in the TV
version of Robert Harling's stage play
and original film, "Steel Magnolias."
: Adepero Oduye plays Annelle
and Phylicia Rashad plays Clariee in
the TV movie.
"That's why we think the material
is classic material," Meron said,
"because it can live no matter
where you put it."
As in the original film, the story is
set in the south and opens as
M'Lynn (Latifah) and her husband
are preparing for daughter Shelby's
wedding. The communal center in
their town is Truvy's hair salon,
where M'Lynn and her friends,
Ouiser (Woodard) and Clairee
(Rashad), gather to catch up on their
beauty regimens and gossip.
"We connected immediately, so
we didn't really have to fake being
girls in the beauty shop," Latifah
said. "We just bonded right away"
It's that sisterhood among women
- and the enduring safety of the


salon space that makes "Steel
Magnolias" such a timeless story.
Women have long turned to one an-
other in times of joy and sorrow,
said Woodard, and the salon is prac-
tically sacred ground.


Noth's on board 'Titanic' cable miniseries

Actor Chris Noth portrays
J.P. Morgan in a scene from
the Encore cable channel 12-
hour miniseries, "Titanic:
Blood and Steel."


Birthday Your leadership qualities are likely to be sub-

where you have previously been content to be a follower,
you will now want to take on a more commanding role.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) In a competitive situation, you'll
fare much better if you are realistic in the assessment of
your competitors. Don't underestimate anyone.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You'll be quite efficient when
doing things you like, but not so much with projects or jobs
you find distasteful. Regardless of what you do, do it with
pride.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Bad feelings could result

NEW YORK The man
widely known as "Big" gets
even bigger: He's playing J.P

It was one of Morgan's
businesses that funded the
Titanic, and Chris Noth ap-

in "Titanic: Blood and

miniseries about the build-

one of the main figures of the
Teapot Dome scandal, went
on trial in Washington, D.C.,
charged with accepting a
bribe from oil tycoon Edward
L. Doheny. (Fall was found
guilty and sentenced to a
year in prison and fined
$100,000; he ended up serv-
ing nine months. Ironically,
Doheny was acquitted at trial
of offering the bribe that Fall
was convicted of taking.)
On this date:
In 1777, the second Battle

COMMENTARY
CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE -


Gerry Mulligan
OUT THE
WINDOW


Associated Press
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama shake hands Wednesday after the first presidential debate at the
University of Denver, in Denver, Colo.



Dissecting the debate


BEN FELLER
AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON Republican Mitt Rom-
ney was fiery and having fun. President
Barack Obama came off as the professor
without much pop.
And while Democrats grudgingly conceded
that Romney did well in Wednesday's debate,
what matters is whether he changed the dy-
namic of a race that he appeared to be losing.
The best answers will come: Did the de-
bate help Romney close his polling deficit in
a must-win state such as Ohio? Or take a
polling lead in Florida, Virginia or the other
toss-up states? Or deliver the kind of per-
formance that translates into noticeable en-
ergy on the trail, a crisper message, more
likelihood that the undecided voters out
there will go with him?
In terms of instant conclusions, the judging
is best done in view of what Obama and Rom-
ney set out to do.
By that measure, Romney may not have
changed the game, but he sure played it well.
Obama avoided any gaffes but looked sur-
prisingly lackluster at times.
And he kept in his pocket one of the
strongest weapons of his political arsenal,
Romney's videotaped view that half the na-
tion sees itself as a bunch of entitled victims.
The president never mentioned it over 90
minutes even though he talks about it daily
in his campaigning.
In the midst of a dense debate that lacked
much discipline, something important ap-
peared answers on how the two men
would run the country differently
But good luck to the undecided voter who
had to sort that out
The debate often got bogged down with
complicated and contradictory versions of
the candidates' plans and of the truth, with a
distracting dose of insider Washington refer-
ences. Even voters clamoring for specific dif-
ferences may have found themselves
wondering why all the talk about "Bowles-
Simpson" (a debt commission) and "Dodd-
Frank" (a Wall Street reform law).
The night's mystery was why Obama did
not bring up Romney's embarrassing caught-

on-tape moment from a ritzy fundraiser, in
which he said "47 percent" of the people out
there pay no income taxes, see themselves as
victims and do not think they should "take
personal responsibility and care for their
lives."
The video has undermined Romney's bid
for the presidency and gone to the heart of
Obama's case of how differently the two men
see the role of government and the people it
serves.
It got at best an indirect nod during talk
about Medicare and Social Security, both
known as entitlements.
"You know, the name itself implies some
sense of dependency on the part of these
folks," Obama said. "These are folks who've
worked hard, like my grandmother, and there
are millions of people out there who are
counting on this."
Obama's campaign disputed the notion
that the president missed an opportunity
They argue Romney's own words, which the
Obama campaign is using in television ads,
are more effective.
The president's biggest trouble seemed to
be that he got caught up in exactly what he
wanted to avoid engaging Romney time


and again on the challenger's accusations in-
stead of turning each answer into a clear, co-
herent argument about how he would help
people over the next four years.
It did not help that moderator Jim Lehrer
lost control of the debate to the point that six
segments got reduced to five, a sign of how
long both men took to answer questions.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Just so everybody
understands, we're way over our first 15 min-
utes," Lehrer said at one point
"It's fun, isn't it?" Romney said.
Following tradition, Romney stood to gain
simply by standing next to the president and
holding up well.
He started off with the kind ofhere-is-how-
this-affects-you empathy that has been miss-
ing from much of his campaign.
"Ann yesterday was at a rally in Denver,"
Romney said of his wife. "'And a woman came
up to her with a baby in her arms, and said:
'Ann, my husband has had four jobs in three
years, part-time jobs. He's lost his most re-
cent job. And we've now just lost our home.
Can you help us?' And the answer is, yes, we
can help, but it's going to take a different
path."
What Obama wanted was to leave the
American people with little doubt about his
plans for the next four years and how they
differ from Romney's. It was a rare chance
for him in this election year to reach millions
of people directly, yet the debate's jerky pace
and subject detours made it hard for him to
break through.
Even so, a status quo result, or something
close, would not hurt him nearly as much as
it would Romney
By the end of a long night, the president
tried to bring his agenda items back to the
prideful auto workers, to the mom who went
back to school.
"All those things are designed to make sure
that the American people, their genius, their
grit, their determination, is channeled, and
they have an opportunity to succeed," Obama
said.
Romney's calculus was different.
He needed a commanding performance.

Comings

and goings

at the

Chronicle
here have been
some changes at the
Chronicle recently
that deserve some
recognition.
Mike Arnold has been
named the editor of the
newspaper and is now in
charge of the overall con-
tent. Mike is a real success
story at the Chronicle,
proving you can start at
the bottom and work your
way up.
More than a decade ago,
Mike started working at
the Chronicle as a sports
correspondent covering
various high school foot-
ball games.
Over the years, he next
became a sports reporter
and then the sports editor.
After serving as sports ed-
itor, he moved on and be-
came managing editor of
the newspaper. For many
of those years, he served
as a member of the Chron-
icle's editorial board and
wrote regular opinion
pieces for the newspaper.
Mike continued his ed-
ucation while at the
Chronicle and went on to
earn his master's degree.
After more than a decade
in the newsroom, he
moved over to become the
human resource director
for the newspaper com-
pany and took care of all
those issues from training
to hiring to making sure
that people got paid. We
have 10 newspapers in
Florida, and he had the
opportunity to work with
the staffs of each of the
publications.
A month ago, he re-
turned to the news de-
partment and took over as
editor of the paper.
Mike is a Citrus Springs
resident, where he lives
with his wife, Brenda.
Charlie Brennan con-
tinues to work at the
newspaper in the role of
editor at large, where he
will continue to coordi-
nate our editorial opin-
ions and help with the
writing and reporting that
happens on a daily basis.

A t the dawn of the 20th
century, Frederic f ."
Townsend Martin said, :
"we are the rich; we own Amer- .-

but we intend to keep it." ,
This sentiment was recently .
echoed in the Republican Na- ,

cleared that "I don't want every- COLI

Does this sound familiar?
How do these statements reflect current
Republican thinking? And if Republicans
are elected this November, what do they
intend to do? Let's have a quick look at
some of the most pressing issues facing us
and how they intend to deal with them.

JUSTICE MUST BE BALANCED





Courts can't




be caught




in politics


Images of justice popular
for more than 500 years
have depicted Lady Justice
as a blindfolded figure holding
a balance scale, indicating that
judges should rule without fear
or favor, based only on the
merit of arguments for and
against a position.
This belief led
reformers re-
sponding to politi- THE Il
cal scandals in the
state Supreme Conservat
Court to promote campaign
a successful 1976 Supremr
constitutional just
amendment in-
tended to create a OUR 01
barrier around Politicizir
the court de- a threat
signed to prevent
such scandals.
The amendment ended elec-
tion of higher court judges and
calls for justices to be ap-
pointed on merit and then
stand for a retention vote every
six years.
However, this year the
Florida Republican Party and
the conservative political ac-
tion group Americans for Pros-
perity, funded by the
billionaire Koch Brothers,
have interjected politics into
what should be a nonpartisan
retention election of three
Supreme Court justices by
joining with a group called
"Restore Justice 2012" led by
an Orlando youth minister
The targeted justices, Bar-
bara Pariente, Peggy Quince
and Fred Lewis, were ap-
pointed by former governor
Lawton Chiles and have been
previously retained in
statewide elections. Under
Florida law, judges must face a
vote on whether to retain them
or remove them every six
years, and they are up for a re-
tention vote this year
According to Restore Justice
2012, these judges have been
targeted because they are "ju-
dicial activists."
But the examples cited by
the organization appear more
like decisions that were un-
popular with some partisan
groups than with judicial ac-
tivism. According to a state Bar
association survey of 7,857
lawyers in the state, the three
had an average approval rating
of 90 percent.
The campaign to oust the
three justices has drawn the

This is about the picture of the

shame. These people, they knew
the gator was there. They watched
it since they were kids. They've
watched that gator grow up for
years and years and years. It was
out in the wild away from every-
thing. It never hurt anybody. It
wasn't a nuisance gator. So they
had to go out and kill it just for
sport. What a shame that we hu-

thorities, including a resolu-
tion signed by 23 former presi-
dents of the state Bar, calling it
a "well-financed and ill-con-
ceived political campaign" that
if successful "could do ir-
reparable damage to our sys-
tem of judicial fairness and
impartiality."
The effort by po-

the American Bar
Association. As a
state legislator, he was on the
committee that worked for pas-
sage of the 1976 constitutional
amendment aimed at keeping
politics out of the state's court
system.
While not taking an advocacy
position on whether individual
judges should be retained, the
Florida Bar is running a
$300,000 campaign to educate
voters about the judicial reten-
tion process, and has enlisted
former U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
to introduce a video on
retention.
In that introduction, O'Con-
nor says that for more than
three decades, the merit reten-
tion system has helped buffer
the state's appellate courts
from improper influence; and
for the system to work, voters
need to educate themselves
and make informed decisions.
This is sound advice for vot-
ers. In a highly politicized en-
vironment, the last thing the
state needs is for its highest
court to become just another
political institution. We are
disappointed that some in the
state are trying to make the ju-
dicial retention process a po-
litical football. We believe this
is a threat to the independence
and impartiality we expect
from our state's highest court.
We urge voters to ignore po-
litical appeals, educate them-
selves, and make informed
decisions intended to encour-
age our state's highest jurists to
make their decisions free from
fear or favor, and based solely
on the merit of arguments for
or against cases they are
presented.

This is in response to a Sound

note that Newt Gingrich and the
Republican Congress actually
wanted to work with our president
at that time. It should also be

Romney's trifecta

he presidential campaign, hitherto a plod
through a torrent of words tedious beyond
words, began to dance in Denver There a mas-
terfully prepared Mitt Romney completed a trifecta
of tasks and unveiled an issue that, because it illus-
trates contemporary liberalism's repellant essence,
can constitute his campaign's closing argument
Barack Obama, knight of
the peevish countenance, il-
lustrated William E Buckley's
axiom that liberals who cele- f
brate tolerance of other views
always seem amazed that ,
there are other views.
Obama, who is not known as /
a martyr to the work ethic
and who might use a
teleprompter when ordering
lunch, seemed uncomfort- George Will
able with a format that al- OTHER
lowed fluidity of discourse.
His vanity- remember, he VOICES
gave Queen Elizabeth an
iPod whose menu included two of his speeches -
perhaps blinds him to the need to prepare. And to
the fact that it is not lese-majest6 to require him to
defend his campaign ads' dubious assertions with
explanations longer than the ads. And to the ample
evidence, such as his futile advocacy for Demo-
cratic candidates and Obamacare, that his sup-
posed rhetorical gifts are figments of acolytes'
imaginations.
Luck is not always the residue of design, and Rom-
ney was lucky that the first debate concerned the
economy, a subject that to him is a hanging curve ball
and to Obama is a dancing knuckleball. The topic
helped Romney accomplish three things.
First, recent polls showing him losing were on the
verge of becoming self-fulfilling prophesies by dis-
couraging his supporters and inspiriting Obama's.
Romney, unleashing his inner wonk about eco-
nomic matters, probably stabilized public opinion
and prevented a rush to judgment as early voting
accelerates.
Second, Romney needed to be seen tutoring
Obama on such elementary distinctions as that be-
tween reducing tax rates (while simultaneously re-
ducing, by means testing, the value of deductions)
and reducing revenues, revenues being a function of
economic growth, which the rate reductions could
stimulate.
Third, Romney needed to rivet the attention of the
electorate, in which self-identified conservatives out-
number self-identified liberals two-to-one, on this
choice: America can be the society it was when it had
a spring in its step, a society in which markets the
voluntary collaboration of creative individuals -al-
locate opportunity Or America can remain today's
depressed and anxious society of unprecedented
stagnation in the fourth year of a faux recovery- a
bleak society in which government incompetently al-
locates resources in pursuit of its perishable certi-
tudes and on behalf of the politically connected.
Late in the debate, when Romney for a third time
referred to Obamacare's creation of "an unelected
board, appointed board, who are going to decide
what kind of (medical) treatment you ought to have,"
Obama said, "No, it isn't" Oh?
The Independent Payment Advisory Board per-
fectly illustrates liberalism's itch to remove choices
from individuals, and from their elected representa-
tives, and to repose the power to choose in supposed
experts liberated from democratic accountability.
Beginning in 2014, IPAB would consist of 15 un-
elected technocrats whose recommendations for re-
ducing Medicare costs must be enacted by Congress
by Aug. 15 of each year. If Congress does not enact
them, or other measures achieving the same level of
cost containment, IPAB's proposals automatically
are transformed from recommendations into law.
Without being approved by Congress. Without being
signed by the president
These facts refute Obama's Denver assurance that
IPAB "can't make decisions about what treatments
are given." It can and will by controlling payments to
doctors and hospitals. Hence the emptiness of Oba-
macare's language that IPAB's proposals "shall not
include any recommendation to ration health care."
By Obamacare's terms, Congress can repeal IPAB
only during a seven-month window in 2017, and then
only by three-fifths majorities in both chambers.
After that, the law precludes Congress from ever al-
tering IPAB proposals.
Because IPAB effectively makes law, thereby tra-
ducing the separation of powers, and entrenches
IPAB in a manner that derogates the powers of fu-
ture Congresses, it has been well described by a Cato
Institute study as "the most anti-constitutional meas-
ure ever to pass Congress." But unless and until the
Supreme Court an unreliable guardian over-
turns it, IPAB is a harbinger of the "shock and awe
statism" (Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels' phrase) that is
liberalism's prescription for curing the problems
supposedly caused by insufficient statism.
Before Denver, Obama's campaign was a pro-
tracted exercise in excuse abuse, and the promise
that he will stay on the statist course he doggedly de-
fends despite evidence of its futility. After Denver,
Romney's campaign should advertise that promise.

DOUGLAS COHN AND ELEANOR CLIFT
Special to the Chronicle
President Obama often looked down when
Gov Romney spoke, and he seemed slightly
unsteady and off his game. As a result, Rom-
ney won their first presidential debate on style,
and the plaudits came quickly from most com-
mentators. Then the fact checkers began to weigh
in: Romney had indeed proposed a budget-bust-
ing $5 trillion tax cut, his debate protestations to
the contrary notwithstanding. The undisclosed tax
loopholes Romney would close undoubtedly
would include elimination of the mortgage inter-
est deduction. ObamaCare actually did derive
from Romney's Massachusetts plan.
In the end, Romney won the night; Obama will
win the morning.
For all the president's preparation, it was stun-
ning that he simply failed to say:
"My statements are accurate, and the fact check-
ers will confirm this."
"The have and have-not gap is widening at a
pace reminiscent of the 19th century Gilded Age
when robber barons had more money than the
U.S. Treasury And yet you believe millionaires
and billionaires are paying their fair share of
taxes."
"I cut the Social Security tax by 2 percent It is
the largest tax most middle-income citizens pay,
and yet you oppose the cut."
"You were caught on tape saying 47 percent of
Americans pay no income tax and that you have
already conceded their votes. Do you believe these
people who are retired or in the military or who
pay Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, sales
taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes and other taxes
are freeloaders?"
Clearly, the president may have prepared, but
he was unprepared.
Presidential debates have been a fixture of
American politics for most of the last half century
Television was in its infancy when Vice President
Nixon and Sen. John E Kennedy faced off in 1960.
History has judged that Kennedy, like Romney,
won on style, but lost on substance. But times have
changed. Now there is the Internet.
Yet, long before the Internet was even an idea,
H. L. Mencken wrote "No one in this world ... has
ever lost money by underestimating the intelli-
gence of the great masses of the plain people,"
which is popularly paraphrased as, "No one ever
went broke underestimating the American peo-
ple." But that was then.
The Internet has changed the world in many
ways, not all of them uplifting, but one thing it has
brought out in force is people who think for them-
selves, and who link up with other like-minded
people. It is a global phenomenon as witnessed by
the Arab Spring. In the presidential campaign it
was witnessed when Romney's 47 percent remark
went Internet viral, penetrating the consciousness
of just about every citizen of voting age.
And by the time the cable news pundits weighed
in at the conclusion of the 90-minute Obama-Rom-
ney debate, views were already forming and atti-
tudes taking shape across the country and indeed
the globe. Social media saw people tweeting and
sharing their thoughts in real time on a variety of
Internet sites.
It's been a long year with a number of fringe
voices commanding the headlines from Michele
Bachmann to Herman Cain (remember 9-9-9) and
of course Rep. Todd Akin and his outrageous "rape"
remark, but in the end the American electorate is
no longer the electorate of Mencken's era. They are
beneficiaries of a flood of information in this Inter-
net age when millions of voices are now heard in-
stead of a few spinmeisters, and the public has
learned how to sift through it all, ignoring the ex-
tremes and gravitating to the sensible center

get married, that same young man
had to be at least 21 years old.
Cheryl's 18th birthday was on
July 22. She'd only need one par-
ent's consent, but she would still
need one. We had the blessings of
both of her parents; even so, we
liked the idea of her being a
woman of 18 instead of a girl of 17
at the time we became husband
and wife.
We decided to set our date as
soon after Aug. 1 as the Rev An-
dersen could marry us in the All
Faiths Community Church of
Ridge Manor, hoping for early to
mid-August.
Cheryl made an appointment
with her pastor. We thought we
were meeting with him for the
sole purpose of selecting a date
that would fit on his calendar.
Little did we know.


We went through a stirring
round of "Are you sure?" Then,
after talking with us at length and
asking some noticeably personal
- and, at times, some rather em-
barrassing -questions, he an-
nounced his decision.
"You're both still very young,
but I believe you truly love each
other. I believe you love each
other in the right way and that you
want to be married for the right
reasons. I'm convinced you are
good candidates for marriage."
He thumbed through his calen-
dar and advised, "The earliest I
can perform the ceremony will be
in late September How about Sat-
urday evening, Sept. 24, at eight
o'clock?"
He never said Sept. 24 was the
earliest date available on his
calendar, he said it was the
earliest he could perform the


ceremony
I read between the lines and
realized he wanted us to wait for
at least a few more weeks. First, to
be sure we remained as sure as we
thought we were, but, also, to give
Cheryl's parents and, as it would
turn out to be, the community as a
whole, time to organize what was
destined to become a major social
event.
Regardless of his reasons, Rev
Andersen said what he said to us
with love; and, we joyfully
accepted his blessing and booked
the date he'd suggested.
And, that is how Sept. 24
became what continues to be our
most extraordinary, ordinary day

Tough debate
I have to ask if The Associated Press
watched the same debate that I did last
night. I wish the AP wouldn't do that, but
considering they are the epitome of our
left-wing highly partisan media, I should
have expected their article in the Thurs-
day, Oct. 4, Chronicle. The AP says in
their headlines; "Tough sparring in first
debate" and "Obama, Romney hit hard in
initial meet."
That doesn't sound like what I was wit-
ness to. I saw Mitt hand Obama his head.
It was the most one-sided exchange of
ideas that I have ever seen. That's not
just my opinion, here's what the first
three sources I saw on the Internet had
to say '"After the debate debacle for
Obama, we'll find out if we have a race."
"Mitt Romney won the debate. Why does
that matter? Debates don't move polls.
Debate winners do." "Mitt Romney won
the first debate; virtually every snap poll
and snap pundit agrees on this point."
Even the big three of our liberal media
didn't try to hide the facts like the AP did.

like in Iraq and
Afghanistan which so far
have cost about $4 trillion
and countless lives on all
sides. How many trillions of
dollars and thousands of
lives are we willing to pour
into a new war?
Tax codes: Here is the
grand prize for billionaires
and the corporate classes,
because this is where the
real money is and they aim
to grab as much of it as pos-
sible. The latest push is for
taxing "the 47 percent"
while providing cuts for the
top 1 or 2 percent under the
guise of "flattening" and
"broadening" the tax codes.
This means those who can
least afford to pay income
taxes will pay more, while
those at the top will have
their taxes cut, sometimes
by millions of dollars.
Maybe some of that will
trickle down to the rest of
us. Then again, maybe not.
The environment: They
want to kill the Environ-
mental Protection Agency,
an agency set up by Presi-
dent Nixon, a Republican,
to clean up burning rivers
(true story), acid rain, toxic
dump sites, smog, water
and a host of other environ-
mental catastrophes. Now
that we have relatively
clean air and water, the bil-
lionaires and their corpo-
rations want to get back to
polluting the country. All
they ask is that we not do it
in their back yards some
things are still sacred.
Education: Right-
wingers hate public educa-
tion. They hate teachers
unions and evolution and
science and anything that
contradicts their funda-
mentalist religious beliefs.
Many will either home
school their kids or send


cede debate defeat, Romney heads to Vir-
ginia." CBS News says "Romney's big
night The first presidential debate was
Republican candidate Mitt Romney's
best moment of the campaign so far."
NBC News says "Romney comes to play,
outduels Obama in debate." I say shame
on the AP for such a partisan distortion
of the facts.
Barack Obama is not the most articu-
late person without his teleprompter, but
he was absolutely awful in the debate,
pausing, stuttering, and in some cases not
able to speak in complete sentences.
I think Mitt cut him too much slack.
Last night was about jobs. Let's hear the
hard questions about religion, Marxism,
the role of government and the rights of
man. Let's ask them this time around and
not let him skate on "change."

them to private or religious
charter schools. Ironically,
religious charter schools
want to use tax dollars for
funding. Isn't there some-
thing in the Constitution
forbidding that? Some
studies show that charter
schools are not much better
at teaching kids than our
public school system. But
remember, charter schools
can pick which kids they
want to accept while un-
derfunded public schools
do not have that option and
are at a huge disadvantage.
Voter suppression: Re-
publicans exist to defend
wealth and power. They are
not very interested in the
middle class as anything
more than consumers or a
source of labor. They know
they cannot win if they
admit they want to hand the
country over to massive pri-
vate wealth and will thus
try to keep voter turnout
low especially among mi-
norities, the young, and the
elderly because these peo-
ple are liable to vote for De-
mocrats. Are Republicans
afraid of a fair fight?
Medicaid: Essentially,
they want to turn it over to
the states where it can be
quietly starved to death.
Republicans like Mitt Rom-
ney prefer to have unin-
sured people continue to
use emergency rooms in-
stead of doctor visits and
receive regular medical
care for themselves and
their families. But contrary
to what Mr Romney thinks,
emergency room care is not
free of charge just ask
any uninsured person who
has been to one the bills
follow them.
Medicare: They want to
pay for it by vouchers that
will lose value over time. As
a result seniors will have to
pay thousands in higher
premiums and will eventu-
ally cut back on medical
care because they can no


longer afford it. Basically,
they want to kill Medicare
by draining it of funds or
turning it completely over
to the private sector. Un-af-
fordability is the real death
panel.
Social Security: They
want to privatize it, but this
program has proven to be
very successful and popu-
lar for millions of people
since around 1935. Repub-
licans hate it and in a mira-
cle of modern marketing
they have even convinced
many in the middle class
that this program should
go. The very program that
has kept so many millions
of people out of poverty is
disdained by many of the
people who will depend on
it. Fantastic! Republican
propaganda has convinced
millions of future recipi-
ents that they will be better
off without Social Security.
This is like wolves convinc-
ing sheep that killing them
will be an act of kindness.

These and numerous
right-wing "culture wars"
issues are being funded by
millionaires and billion-
aires who will benefit from
pushing an authoritarian
agenda. While demonstra-
tors wave signs and holler
about "freedom" and "lib-
erty" what they really mean
is their freedom and liberty
to control those of us who
do not agree with them.
Anger over the recent eco-
nomic crash has blinded
them to reasonable and
constructive solutions that
could benefit all of us.
Please do not allow your-
selves to be manipulated by
the 1 percent and the right-
wing media.

Not 'change' for the better


Barack Obama burst from obscurity in
2004 at the Democratic National
Convention when he gave a stirring
address affirming "one America," not De-
mocrat nor Republican, not white, black,
Hispanic or Asian, but one nation undi-
vided. He spoke of shared goals and sacri-
fices and of a future where the political
parties worked together. The media were
smitten with this wonderful young man of
color who spoke so well with so much
promise.
Elected to the Senate in 2006,
within months he embarked
upon his unlikely campaign for
the presidency Sen. Obama,
when he took time off from cam-
paigning to vote or speak in the
Senate, was a strong partisan of
the left
But candidate Obama prom-
ised to heal the divide, cut the Dr. Will
federal deficit, eliminate useless
government programs and to OTI
fundamentally change the coun- VOI
try He offered "hope" but did
not say what was to be hoped for.
He offered "change," but did not specify
what changes exactly were to be made. He
left the pages blank so voters could fill in
their own wishes. When his ties to the racist
Rev. Jeremiah Wright could no longer be
hidden by the media, he gave an eloquent
speech on race and promised to bring all
races together as one, as Americans.
By November 2008, the financial crisis
had deepened. The economy was in reces-
sion; jobs were being lost in the millions.
The war in Iraq was winding down with
problems still to be solved. The war in
Afghanistan seemed interminable. Presi-
dent Bush had signed onto a foolish tax re-
bate and a massive bailout of the financial
system on advice from his treasury secre-
tary and against his market principles. Can-
didate John McCain was looking foolish
and incompetent.
Voters thought: Why not give this young
black candidate a chance? He seemed
bright enough and sincere in what he prom-
ised. Would it not be a pleasure to be part of
electing the first black president? Would it
not be likely that a black president could
help to heal the black-white divide in
America. What would it say to the rest of
the world, if the man leading America were
black? What harm could there be in voting
for Barack Obama? If he really were as rad-

He needed people to see
him as a president, un-
flinching next to the guy
who currently has the job.
In 10 battleground states,
none of the nonpartisan
polling since before the re-
cent Democratic and Repub-
lican conventions had found
Romney holding a lead.
Romney's mission was to


ical as some of the fringe media suggested,
the requirements of the office and consti-
tutional checks on executive power would
limit harm to the nation.
It was easy to vote for Obama in 2008. He
won a landslide victory
But President Obama is no longer a blank
sheet upon which each voter can write his
aspirations. Under his watch, political and
racial relationships have worsened. The
class warfare used to foster his re-election
pits rich against poor, black
against white. His Environmen-
tal Protection Agency punishes
carbon fuels in favor of green en-
ergy, raising energy costs to con-
sumers. His Energy Department
favors failed companies run by
Democrat contributors. He bor-
rowed nearly $800 billion to give
to union supporters under the
am Dixon guise of stimulating the economy
He promised unemployment lev-
IER els below 8 percent and millions
CES of new jobs. The jobless numbers
increased. He put 17 percent of
our economy health care -
under control of government bureaucrats.
His foreign policy of "leading from behind"
cost him the favor of our allies and gained
us the disrespect of our enemies. American
leadership in the free world under Obama
has achieved a new low.
Was this the "fundamental change" the
voters wanted? Did voters want America to
become like a European welfare state, fail-
ing economically, defenseless and suffering
from cultural malaise? If so, they should be
pleased with this president If not, re-elect-
ing Barack Obama in 2012 and expecting
something different would be a triumph of
hope over experience.
Because I have children and grandchil-
dren, and because I believe in the founding
principles of this great nation, I hope expe-
rience triumphs this November.

supply goods and services to support their
spending. The more the wealthy are con-
demned, the less likely they are to step for-
ward to grow our economy
After a demand for Romney to reveal his
2011 tax return, he did so and immedi-
ately there was an outcry because he paid
his full liability, the same as anyone else
did! Anyone else who earns most of their in-
come from investment growth pays the
same tax rate he did. The argument is being
twisted to compare a fair income tax rate to
social insurance rates while on these; Rom-
ney pays the same rate as anyone else. His
Social Security and Medicare tax on wages
are the same as anyone else and he pays the
same sales tax rate as anyone else. Also, if
he purchases a luxury item that most of us
cannot purchase, he pays a punitive tax on
the item. That tax money is used to sustain
some of the excessive federal spending.

Clearing the air
A few nights ago I probably
caused some hard feelings with
some I consider my friends. It
stemmed from a political discus-
sion (what's new?). Naturally we
had different views of our na-
tion's current political direction.
I, like thousands of my com-
rades, gave more than 20 years
of our lives standing up for, and
protecting this America I love.
During my 20-plus years in the
military I stood up and served
her then, and I will continue to
stand up for her when, in my
opinion, her future is in
jeopardy
Personally I'm convinced that
the current administration's
ideology of wealth redistribu-
tion and their idea of"funda-

what?) is not in America's best
interests. We do not need to
"fundamentally change Amer-

to the "Fundamentals of Amer-
ica" put in place by our forefa-
thers in the Constitution of this
great nation.
I believe we Americans are
currently in an untenable posi-
tion brought on by both political
parties. For most of my life I was
a registered Democrat When the
moderate Democrats died and
became progressives, I switched
to the Republican Party About 10
years of being a registered Re-
publican, I found that the Repub-
lican Party, too, was no longer
adhering to our Constitution, so I
have been a registered Inde-
pendent for the past eight years.


At heart I am a libertarian (if
you're not sure what a libertar-
ian believes in, look it up).
America's problems seem to
be, we elect people based on
their speaking abilities, good
looks, etc., not on the issues fac-
ing this country For me a politi-
cal platform consisting of the
words "hope and change" or
"fundamentally changing Amer-
ica" tells me nothing. Hope for
what change would be my ques-
tion. Fundamentally changing
America to what, would be an-
other question.
All in all, I'm sorry my friends
and I had a somewhat heated
discussion causing ill feelings
and I just wanted to clear the air.

has played a number of leader-
ship roles with the newspaper
over the past two decades.
She actually came to work for
the Chronicle when we purchased
the Riverland News in Dunnellon.
She became a first-round draft
choice when the weekly newspa-
per became part of our extended
family She served in lots of be-
hind-the-scenes positions such as
the manager of our design depart-
ment, the manager of the Beverly
Hills Visitor and later as the di-
rector of our circulation services.
She has done a terrific job in


helping the newspaper grow and
serve customers over the years.
John Murphy will assume the
circulation director position. John
is another veteran of the newspa-
per who first joined us as an ad-
vertising sales person. He has
managed our online department,
our classified sales effort and now
will move to circulation.
John is one of the smartest tech-
nical people who works at the
paper and he is the first guy I call
whenever my computer doesn't
work. Unfortunately, that is a fre-
quent occurrence and is usually
due to operator error John is usu-
ally too nice or smart to mention
that.
John is a real leader in our com-
munity He serves as a Boy Scout


leader in Inverness and has been
a longtime director on the cham-
ber of commerce. Next year, John
will become the president of the
countywide chamber
Tom Feeney is the production
manager of the Chronicle, and he
will now assume responsibilities
for our distribution service. Tom
has also been with the company
since he was a teenager and now
oversees the pressroom, mail-
room, warehouses and now distri-
bution. Our distribution services
center on the delivery of other
newspapers in this market.
Some folks don't realize, but the
Chronicle also delivers the Tampa
Bay Times, The New York Times,
the New York Post, Wall Street
Journal, USA Today and Financial


Times to residents of our service
area.
Tom is also very involved in the
community He serves as the assis-
tant district governor for the Rotary
Clubs in the county and plays in al-
most every golf tournament in the
area. Tom hits the golf ball longer
than any employee at the Chronicle,
and he also spends the most time
searching for his golf balls in the
backyards of golf course residents.
Long doesn't always mean
straight.
He lives in Homosassa with his
wife, Karen.
Deb Kamlot has returned to
the Chronicle recently, and she
now serves as HR director and as
our community affairs director.
Deb, who lives in Inverness with


her two baseball-crazy sons, will
now lead our sponsorship efforts
with community groups.
Newspapers are institutions
that serve a community The
Chronicle has served Citrus
County since 1894, so those of us
lucky enough to work here recog-
nize we serve for a period of time
and then we turn over the respon-
sibility to the next generation.
But those who lead have each left
their mark and have made this a
better place. I appreciate the efforts
of all of those coming and going.
I hope you do, also.

$1.4 trillion

inpension

fights in RI

DAVID KLEPPER
Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -
Retired social worker Jim
Gillis was told his $36,000
Rhode Island state pen-
sion would increase by
$1,100 next year to keep
up with inflation. But law-
makers suspended annual
increases, leaving Gillis
wondering how he'll pay
medical bills and whether
he'd been betrayed by his
former employer.
"When you're working,
you're told you'll get cer-
tain things, and you retire
believing that to be the
case," Gillis said. He and
other retirees are chal-
lenging the pension
changes in a court battle
that's likely to have na-
tional implications as
other states follow Rhode
Island's lead.
Cities and states around
the country are shoring up
battered retirement plans
by reducing promised
benefits to public workers
and retirees. All told,
states need $1.4 trillion to
fulfill their pension obli-
gations. It's a yawning
chasm that threatens to
wreck government budg-
ets and prompt tax hikes
or deep cuts to education
and other programs.
The political and legal
fights challenge the clout
of public-sector unions
and test the venerable
idea that while state jobs
pay less than private-
sector employment, they
come with the guarantee
of early retirement and
generous benefits.
Actions taken by states
vary. California limited its
annual pension payouts,
while Kentucky raised re-
tirement ages and sus-
pended pension increases.
Illinois reduced benefits
for new employees and cut
back on automatic pension
increases. New Jersey last
year increased employee
retirement contributions
and suspended pension
increases.
Nowhere have the
changes been as sweeping
as in Rhode Island, where
public sector unions are
suing to block an overhaul

Retired social worker Jim Gillis stands in front of his home Wednesday in Warwick, R.I. Gillis was told his $36,000

passed last year. The law
raised retirement ages,
suspended pension in-
creases for years and cre-
ated a new benefit plan
that combines traditional
pensions with something
like a 401(k) account.
"This saved $4 billion
for the people of Rhode
Island over 20 years," said
state Treasurer Gina Rai-
mondo, a Democrat who
crafted the overhaul.
"Rhode Island is leading
the way I expect others to
follow, frankly because
they have to."
Public employee unions
say Rhode Island is reneg-
ing on promises to workers.
"What they did was ille-
gal," said Bob Walsh, ex-
ecutive director of the
National Education Asso-
ciation Rhode Island.
"We're deep into a real as-
sault on labor. It worries
me that people who pur-
port themselves as De-
mocrats do this."
The court case foreshad-
ows likely battles else-
where as states grapple
with their own pension
problems. In the past two
years, 10 states suspended
or cut retiree pension in-
creases; 13 states now offer
hybrid retirement plants
that combine pensions
with 401(k)-like plans.
"Forty-three states from
2009 to 2011 did something,


but in many cases some-
thing was not enough," said
David Draine, a re-
searcher who tracks pen-
sion changes at the Pew
Center on the States.
States are discovering
the political challenge of
reining in pensions is only
one step in a battle ulti-
mately won or lost in the
courts.
A plan to enroll new
Louisiana state workers
in a 401(k)-like retirement
plan is being challenged
by retirees. New Hamp-
shire is defending a law
that cuts pension benefits
and increases employee
contributions.
California Gov Jerry
Brown last month ap-
proved higher retirement
ages and contribution
rates for some state work-
ers and a $132,000 cap on
annual pension payouts.
The state's two main pen-
sion funds the Califor-
nia Public Employees'
Retirement System and
the California State
Teachers' Retirement Sys-
tem are underfunded
by $165 billion.
Brown said the changes
may lead to bigger pen-
sion reforms in the future.
Unions are ready for a
fight.
"Any additional pension
reform they try to do will
be met with serious oppo-


sition," said Dave Low, of
Californians for Retire-
ment Security, which rep-
resents 1.5 million public
workers. "Public employ-
ees have become the
whipping boy"
Unions note states have
long neglected to con-
tribute enough to pay for
promised benefits. In
2010, 17 states set aside no
new money for pension
benefits. Kentucky hasn't
made its share of pension
contributions since 2004.
In the past decade,
Kansas and New Jersey
haven't paid their full
shares a single year, and
Illinois has done so only
once.
Steep pension fund in-
vestment losses made the
situation far worse a
federal report said state
and local pension plans
lost $672 billion during fis-
cal years 2008 and 2009.
Longer-lived retirees,
higher health care bills
and pension increases
also drive costs. In Rhode
Island, 58 percent of re-
tired teachers and 48 per-
cent of state retirees
receive more in their pen-
sions than in their final
years of work.
Before Rhode Island's
reforms passed in Novem-
ber, its pension costs were
set to jump from $319 mil-
lion in 2011 to $765 million


in 2015 and $1.3 billion in
2028. The state's annual
budget is $7 billion.
Passing the changes
wasn't easy Public em-
ployees rallied at the
Statehouse and jeered
lawmakers during floor
debate. Firefighters lined
the walls of committee
hearings. Rep. Donna
Walsh called the vote the
"most heart-wrenching,
gut-wrenching vote" she'd
cast in 12 years as a
lawmaker.
One of the biggest
changes involved putting
off pension increases for
five years, and then only if
pension investments per-
form well.
North Providence re-
tiree Jamie Reilly left her
job as a secretary at age
50, thinking her 30 years
of state employment
would mean good benefits
during her later years. But
now she said she may be
forced to re-enter the
workforce at age 55 be-
cause the state has put off
pension increases.
"I counted on that
money," Reilly said of the
increases, which she esti-
mates would have started
at $700 to $1,000 a year "I
retired knowing I was going
to get a certain amount of
money You work all your
life and you plan, and they
take it away from you."


annuity

DEAR BRUCE: My

father is 80 years
old. A while ago,
he opened an annuity ac-
count with his bank. He
withdrew money from the
account and did not pay
any taxes at the time.
When he files his taxes,
will he have to pay taxes
on his withdrawal? He
doesn't make much
money Is there a way to
calculate how much he
will owe if he does? -
Reader, via email
DEAR READER: I can-
not give you a specific an-
swer without knowing
more details about your
father, the type of annuity,
etc.
This is not a problem
that should be difficult to
solve, however Gather up
all of your father's infor-
mation and go to a CPA, an
enrolled agent or any of
the tax services that oper-
ate national chains. The
cost for such tax advice
should be relatively mod-
est. There are just some
things you shouldn't try to
do yourself.
Given the minimum in-
come you have mentioned
your father has, it's un-
likely there will be a tax
liability.
DEAR BRUCE: I'm
going to inherit my fa-
ther's house. His attorney
has set it up to add my
name to the deed after my
father's death. There is
also a will to fall back on if
need be.
What are the capital
gains laws in Florida cur-
rently? Must I own and
live in the property so
many years? I tried to ask
these questions of my fa-
ther's attorney, but he
won't answer them since
he represents my father.
- J.T. in Florida
DEAR J.T: First of all, I
don't understand why the
attorney won't answer
your questions. Unless
you and your father are at
odds, your father can cer-
tainly instruct his attorney
to answer any questions
you might have.
If you were to add your
name on your father's
deed now, there could be
some possible tax compli-
cations, gift tax and so
forth. I think it would be
better to wait until your
dad passes away to add
your name to the deed, as
the attorney intends; then
the property will pass to
you through death, and
the lifetime exclusion will

Applications are now being
accepted for the Leadership

the community for 21 years,
and participants have gained a
higher level of awareness and
understanding of Citrus County
and all it has to offer.
Leadership Citrus is a five-
month program that meets
every other week. A limited num-
ber of applicants will be selected
to participate in the program by
a committee made up from the
Leadership Citrus Board. The
process involves filling out an
application and going through
an interview process. Selected
members will be notified through
the mail in December and
classes will start in January.
Class membership is open to
Citrus County residents, and
members of the Citrus County
Chamber of Commerce will re-
ceive a discount. Cost of the

Special to the Chronicle

Citrus Memorial Health System will
close its Homosassa-area Walk-In Clinic at
the end of 2012, but the remainder of Cit-
rus Memorial Healthcare Center at Sug-
armill Woods will remain open for
business.
According to Citrus Memorial CEO
Ryan Beaty, urgent care is no longer a
vital need in the community.
"When we opened the Walk-In Clinic in
2009, there were not many other services
like it in Homosassa. Now, there are mul-
tiple primary care physicians and even
another urgent-care center serving the
area's needs," he said. "There are, how-
ever, other medical needs in Homosassa
that are not being met. We'd like to ex-
plore the idea of bringing in another serv-
ice that the community will find
valuable."


The facility provides laboratory collec-
tion services, pre-admission testing, reha-
bilitation services and diagnostic imaging
including X-ray, ultrasound, digital mam-
mography, bone density, CT scanning and
MRI. Additionally, primary care is avail-
able at the office of Tim Peterson, M.D.,
and Carolyn Bautista, ARNP
While the clinic will close at the end of
the year, the other services will remain
open.
"We understand that this facility is a
real convenience for patients living in the
Sugarmill Woods community and others
in the Southwest area of Citrus County,"
Beaty said.
"Our goal is not to take services away,
but to provide the community with the
care they need to stay healthy"

DEAR BRUCE: Where is
the best place to buy silver
bars? My son is 3 years old,
and I would like to get them
for him. Every year, I invest
$1,200 for him and keep
records so I can show him
later, when he is much older,
how you can make your
money work for you.
Do you think this is a good


worth buying a smartphone
just to use a QR Reader.
Although there are about a
thousand other reasons that
I would say, if you can afford

You won't be sorry
If you already have a
device that is able to use a
QR Reader, but you have yet
to download the app, I say
yes, it's completely worth it
Most QR Readers are free,
and easy to use.

DEAR TONY: You can
buy silver bars any number
of places, such as dealers.
But for your purpose, that
would not be my choice.
Bars are for the big guys,
not for you. The reason is
you would want to have
them assayed at purchase,
even though they're labeled,
to protect your interests.
As you know if you have
listened to my radio pro-
gram or read my column
over the years, I consider


I use "Microsoft tag,"
because it's reliable. I also
really like that it keeps track
of the websites and
information through the QR
Codes that I have scanned.
I hear Kaywa has a good
QR Reader, and at work I
use their QR Code creator
often.
There are larger
advantages for consumers
to use QR Codes other than
just getting to the
information quicker. Many



"investments" in metals to
be a speculation, not an in-
vestment. They don't pay in-
terest. There is some
expense in keeping them,
such as a safe-deposit box.
If you do invest in metals,
I would definitely invest
only in coinage. And I would
be far more comfortable
buying coins that are numis-
matically valuable instead
of valued only for their
metal content.
For the amounts you're
talking about, consider sil-


companies are giving
discounts and special
privileges to people who use
their QR Codes.
So you may be reading a
magazine, see an ad for that
cruise you have been
dreaming about taking, and
see a QR Code that, if you
scan, you can enter a contest
to win that cruise.
The disadvantages are it

ROCCO
is a 4-year-old Hound
mix who came to the
shelter because his
family could not
afford to feed him.
He is neutered,
housebroken, and
Heartworm-negative,
as well as already
microchipped. Gets
along with other
dogs, walks well on a
leash, and is playful.
He is a "family dog"
and needs to have
a home of
his own again.
Please call Joanne at
352-795-1288.

How to recycle


saltshakers


altshakers are plenti-
ful at thrift stores, or
you may have a few
spares around your home.
These handy little contain-
ers can be used
in a variety of
ways. Many of
these uses will
work for plastic
Parmesan cheese
shakers, too.
Cinnamon and
sugar: Combine
cinnamon and
sugar into a Sara
shaker and you'll Sar
have it ready for FRU
toast or French LIV
toast, oatmeal,
hot cocoa or coffee.
Glitter: Add glitter to
shakers for craft projects.
You can add colored sand to
them, too.
Easy ornament: Clear
glass salt and pepper shak-
ers filled with candy make
great gifts or Christmas or-
naments. Just slip a thin
satin ribbon through the
holes on the top, tie closed
and use the ribbon as the
hanger.
Stop splattering grease:
When cooking eggs, grease
often splatters. Keep a
shaker of cornstarch ready


I


vinegar or potpourri. The
holes in the lid release the
scents and help draw in any
odors.
Terrarium: Add tiny
plants, soil, small
pebbles and moss
to a clear glass
saltshaker and
you have a cute
^- mini-terrarium.
Colored sugars
-- for baked goods:
Put a drop of food
coloring in a con-
tainer that has a
Noel tight lid, add a
GAL couple of table-
NG spoons of sugar
and shake.
Spread on a plate and shake
again if it clumps. Store in
an airtight container. Save
spice jars with the shaker
top or reserve a saltshaker
to store the sugar.
Vases: Group various
shakers and use them as
miniature vases for wild-
flowers. They fit perfectly
on a window ledge.
Photo stand: Use a salt-
shaker as a base to create a
photo stand. Coil 20-gauge
craft wire. Insert the wire
into the holes in the lid. Use
sand salt, buttons, beads or
any small items and fill the

Learn how to protect


plants for winter


Special to the Chronicle

The UF-IFAS Citrus County Exten-
sion Master Gardeners free plant clin-
ics for October will address
cold-weather plant protection.
Citrus County winters usually have
extreme temperature changes occur-
ring over short periods of time. If
Mother Nature gives plants time to ac-
climate to lower temperatures, they
can establish dormancy
Dormancy helps plants survive, but
rapidly falling temperatures do not
allow this.
The October Plant Clinics will ex-
plain the types of freezes we experi-
ence and present actions to take
before, during and after cold weather
to protect plants.


The schedule is:
Tuesday, Oct. 9 1 p.m. at Lakes
Region Library, Inverness.
Wednesday, Oct. 10 1:30 p.m. at
Central Ridge Library, Beverly Hills.
Friday, Oct. 12 1:30 p.m. at
Coastal Region Library, Crystal River.
Wednesday, Oct 17-1 p.m. at Cit-
rus Springs Library
Tuesday, Oct. 23 2 p.m. at Ho-
mosassa Library
The clinic normally done in Floral
City will not be offered this month, but
will return in November.
Questions or pictures can be sent to
the master gardeners at
MasterGl@bocc. citrus. fl.us.
Master gardeners will research and
respond. Call the Extension Service at

Safe drinking water: A guide


Learn contaminants, and how to combat them


LETITIA L. STAR
Natural Home & Garden

Although for most of us the
tap water runs out of the faucet
clear, tasteless and odorless,
our municipalities must work
hard to filter an ever-increas-
ing array of both natural and
manmade pollutants from our
groundwater. And even if it
meets legal standards, your tap
water may still contain pollu-
tants. Getting informed about
drinking water quality is a
good idea for everyone, but
particularly those of us who
live with children, are sensi-
tive to chemicals or have weak-
ened immune systems.
The Safe Drinking Water Act


of 1974 is the main federal law
establishing standards for
drinking water quality. Under
this law, all U.S. municipal tap
water is treated to remove pol-
lutants in accordance with fed-
erally mandated maximum
contaminant levels (MCLs) set
by the EPA. State and local
governments may also set
water safety laws.
But despite federal, state
and local water regulations,
contaminants can still make
their way into our water sup-
ply The Environmental Work-
ing Group (EWG) recently
analyzed nearly 20 million
records from state water offi-
cials and discovered that "test-
ing by water utilities has found


315 pollutants in the tap water
Americans drink." More than
half of these detected chemi-
cals aren't subject to health or
safety regulations and can
legally be present in any
amount. And although federal
guidelines do govern the oth-
ers, 49 of these contaminants
were found to exceed set levels
in different parts of the coun-
try, thus polluting the tap water
of 53.6 million Americans.
Because of these kinds of re-
ports, consumer concern about
tap water safety has increased
in recent years. In a 2011 sur-
vey commissioned by the
Water Quality Association

Choosing a tree


for your landscape


Perhaps the most famous lines writ-
ten about trees were those penned
by Joyce Kilmer in 1913: "I think
that I shall never see a poem lovely as a
tree."
As lovely as trees appear to
the casual observer, trees are
living historical symbols with
an economic and ecological im- at
portance unequaled by any
other group of plants. While --
trees are many things to many
people, by definition they are
woody perennial plants, typi-
cally having a single stem or Joan B]
trunk growing to a considerable FLOE
height and bearing lateral FRIE
branches at some distance from LIV
the ground. LI
You may not have given it
much thought, but trees differ from shrubs
in that shrubs are usually shorter, and
have multiple stems springing directly
from the ground. Although some tropical
vines can grow several hundred feet into
the canopy of a rain forest, their stems are
weak and cannot support the plants. This


r
R

I


characteristic distinguishes them from
trees, which stand upright on their own.
Trees are classified into two categories:
evergreen and deciduous. Those that
paint the landscape in shades
and tones of green all year are
evergreens; those that shed
their leaves are deciduous.
SEvergreen trees are further
divided into conifers and
broadleaved trees. Trees with
needles, such as pines, firs and
spruces, and those with scale-
like leaves, such as cedars and
adshaw junipers, are called conifers,
IEDA- because they produce their
QDLY seeds in cones. Almost all
conifers are evergreen; the
ING most notable exceptions are the
larches (found in cooler tem-
perate northern hemisphere, i.e. Canada),
the dawn redwood (North Carolina) and
the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum),
which shed their needles in fall. All de-
ciduous trees are broad-leaved, as are a
small number of evergreens such as the

Orange adds indoor zest


Beyondpumpkins: Punchy autumn shade brings pop, pizzazz no matter where you place it


MELISSA RAYWORTH
Associated Press
Leaves are changing and pumpkins are
appearing on doorsteps around the coun-
try. As vibrant shades of orange fill the
outdoors, they're also becoming increas-
ingly popular inside.
Upholstery fabrics, paint colors, furni-
ture and accessories that range from neon
orange to tangerine to terra cotta are get-


ting attention this season.
But orange isn't for everyone. When in-
terior designers suggest decorating with
orange, clients can get nervous. Designer
Kyle Schuneman often eases homeowners
into using orange by suggesting variations
on it.
"The idea of orange can sound juvenile
and unsophisticated," Schuneman says.
"But if you go with umbers, burnt bricks or
terra cottas, you can sell a client on the


idea much easier"
The key, he says, is using orange cre-
atively and carefully
Here, Schuneman and designers Brian
Patrick Flynn and Betsy Burnham offer
tips on decorating with the color orange,
and avoiding the pitfalls of using it badly
How much to use?
Orange can be overpowering as the
main color in a room. But, like red, it


works brilliantly as an accent color.
"I don't suggest painting your walls or-
ange," Burnham says. "But maybe there's
an orange in the print on your pillows."
It can be casual ("maybe you bring in a
garden stool that's bright orange"), or chic
and sophisticated ("think of Hermes or-
ange, those shopping boxes"), she says.
In a bedroom with muted, gray-blue

walls, Burnham opted to add lac-
quered end tables in a rich shade of
orange.
Orange paint can also be a great
way to spruce up a dated piece of
furniture.
"Think about painting a great old
chest of drawers a beautiful shade in
a high gloss," Schuneman says, "and
changing out the knobs to really spe-
cial crystal knobs to make a state-
ment piece in a room."
Which shades are best?
All three designers like earthy
burnt orange tones that are almost as
brown as they are orange.
"With a burnt orange, you'd be sur-


prised what the paint chip looks
like," Burnham says. "It looks more
like a brown. But you paint a piece of
furniture that color, and it reads or-
ange. It does what it's supposed to do
- it brings some whimsy"
Flynn also likes using red-orange,
"ideal for more youthful or edgy
rooms."
The style of your home may help
determine which shades you choose,
says Schuneman. "Terra cotta is a
beautiful backdrop for a traditional
or retro feeling space, while pops of a
more neon orange could be really fun
for a modern space."
Whatever tone you choose, Schune-
man suggests testing a sample if
you've decided to take the plunge
and paint with orange. "Try three or
four different shades," he says, and
view them in various types of day-
light and artificial light.


Also, he says, "orange is a lot like
red when you're painting, so you're
going to need three or four coats to
get an even finish. But the end prod-
uct will be a beautiful cozy space."
Just one word of warning: "Don't go
with a true shade of orange," Schune-
man says. "It will feel like 'Pee-Wee's
Playhouse."'
Where does it work?
Orange can look good anywhere in
your home, but these designers say
it's especially beautiful for bed-
rooms.
"Orange is my favorite choice for
kids' rooms, because it's totally gen-
der-neutral," Flynn says. "My favorite
combo for a kids' space is tangerine
and white. It's clean and classic."
Schuneman agrees: "I love a warm

Continued from Page E9

shade of orange for a bedroom. My last bedroom
was a burnt brick. It felt so warm and cozy," he says.
"It really works well with dim lighting at night, but
also can invigorate you to wake up in the morning."
Burnham is using orange and white gingham print
draperies, along with navy blue and dark denim up-
holstery, to decorate the bedroom of a pre-teen boy
"It's boyish, but sophisticated," she says. "Not over-
the-top country or anything. Sort of preppy"
What goes with orange?
"I love pairing gray with orange," Schuneman
says. "It immediately amps up the hip factor and
brings it into a contemporary setting. It works well
because gray has a cool base, where orange is
warm. So the balance really creates harmony in a
room."
Along with pale grays and deep charcoals, orange
also goes well with dark and light blues and also
browns, taupe, cream or white.
Burnham cautions against pairing orange with
other tropical colors or other harvest colors, like
red and yellow. The room can easily begin to feel as
though you've taken those themes too far
Rather than piling on all the fall colors at once,
Schuneman suggests pairing orange only with
brown: "I think you can create a really beautiful
monotone room of creams, off whites and browns,"
he says, "and pop it with orange to create a cozy
feel. Use different textures in these similar color
tones ... jutes, velvets and linens for that cozy fall
feel."
What to avoid?
"I find yellow-orange the hardest to work with,"
Flynn says, "because it's very limited in accent
color choices." Burnham agrees, saying it's best to
avoid "that school-bus orange."
If you're going with a bright orange, just be sure
you'll enjoy it long-term.
Edgy, bright shades are "really going to pop and
give your room some personality," Burnham says.
But "a little goes a long way," and what's hot today
may quickly go out of style.
"Like any trend," she says, "use it sparingly"

alatamaha), which they found grow-
ing along the Alatamaha River in
Georgia and named after their friend,
Ben Franklin. William later revisited
the beautiful trees and collected
seeds, which were planted in
Philadelphia.
For reasons unknown, this tree was
never again seen in the wild after
1803, so the seeds William collected
are the source of all known Franklinia
trees in existence today
(Franklinia, hardy to USDA zones 5-
8, is a small to medium-size tree with
white, fragrant, camellia-like blos-
soms that open in mid-summer, and
leaves that turn coppery red in fall.
Good soil drainage is a must.)
The Schuylkill River site also be-
came a commercial plant nursery
Among the 220 species the Bartrams
offered in 1783 were tulip poplar trees
and poison ivy vines. (Admit it, poison
ivy is a handsome plant much of the
year.)
Under the leadership of another
son, John Jr, Bartram's granddaugh-
ter, Ann, and her husband, Robert
Carr, the nursery flourished. By the
1830s, 4,000 species of plants were
being raised there, and there was
greenhouse space for 10,000 potted
plants.
Bartram's nursery supplied plants
for such gardens as Jefferson's Monti-
cello and Washington's Mount Vernon.
It was the first American nursery to
publish a catalog.
Compare that catalog -now on dis-

mainstay of the gardens and nursery,
but exotics also were grown. Soybeans,
for example, from seeds sent by Ben-
jamin Franklin. Ben was thoughtful
enough to include a recipe for tofu, as
well.
Another plant from China, a gingko
tree, was planted in 1785 and survives
today It may be the oldest gingko tree
in North America.
Like many old gardens, Bartram's
fell into disrepair for awhile. Indus-
trial sprawl creeping along the
Schuylkill threatened the site when
family members lost interest in the
nursery in the middle of the 19th
century
To the rescue came Philadelphia in-
dustrialist Andrew Southwick, who
bought the property, proclaiming, "I
don't want a solitary branch cut ... so
that not a bush of this beloved old gar-
den shall be disturbed."
Unfortunately, with Southwick's
death, the property was again sold,
this time resulting in the loss of many
plants.
Salvation returned in 1891 when the
property was bought by the City of
Philadelphia. Restoration efforts were
spurred by the discovery, in 1950, of a
sketch made by William or John of
their 8-acre botanical garden.
In addition to many of the plants
grown by the Bartrams, the present
Historic Bartram's Gardens also in-
cludes an education center housed in
the stone barn built by John Bartram
in 1775, as well as a wildflower
meadow and the furnished Bartram
home. More recently, a community
garden and orchard were added to the
site.
The Bartrams would have

A look at pansies and violets


Fall days are less hot and
shorter than summer
ones. Nights are cooler
and longer. Summer annual
plants have set and shed their
seeds and begun to die off. It is
time to pull the failing summer
annuals to add to the back yard
compost pile. Heat generated
by decomposition rises to more
than 130 degrees the tem-
perature where most seeds are
cooked to death. Some seeds
are hardy enough to survive
winter frosts. Others need the
cold to stratify the seed case so
moisture can penetrate in
spring. Seeds that were shed
beneath the plants in the gar-
den bed are likely to sprout
next spring.
A sure sign of autumn is the
appearance of colorful bed-
ding annuals in nurseries, su-
permarkets and home
improvement stores. Pansies
are a popular favorite. They
are sold in flat trays, individual
pots and hanging baskets. A
flat of pansies usually comes in
one color, ideal for massed
plantings. Those in hanging
baskets could be frozen right
through the pot so must be
taken indoors on frosty nights.
Planted in a bed and sur-


rounded by a few
inches of pine nee-
dle or leaf litter
mulch, these bed-
ding annuals should
thrive through
Florida's mild
winter
Pansies, heart-
sease and violets
are members of the Jane
Viola genus found in
most temperate re- JAI
gions world wide. GAR
Some are annuals,
others either deciduous or
evergreen perennials. A few of
the 500 Viola species are al-
most shrub-like. Some grow in
cooler mountainous regions
within the tropics such as the
Andes Mountains of South
America. Most species come
from North America, the
Andes and Japan.
Violas typically have three
spreading lower petals and
two erect upper petals. A short
nectar spur may be at the back
of the flower. Perennial, ever-
green Florida violet and Wooly
Blue Violet, V sororia, are na-
tive to Florida. The pretty wild
pansy popularly called Johnny
Jump Up, V tricolor, produces
neat little tricolored flowers in

yellow, blue, violet
and white. It has ap-
pealing face-like
markings. Imported
from Europe, it has
naturalized in
North America
from cold zone 4 to
warmer zone 10. It
may be annual in
freezing zones or bi-
ennial in temperate
zones. In Central
Florida it lasts sev-
eral years in zones


with light frosts.
Pansies with flowers over an
inch wide are usually hybrids
of a European species and
named Viola X wittrockiana.
They are compact and densely
branched. Most are frost-hardy
and can survive short freezes.
Although perennial in Cold
Zones 5 to 10, they are grown in
Florida as winter annual
plants. Locally, the torrid heat
of our Heat Zone 10 summer
effectively kills these hybrids.
Pansies can have a flower up
to 4 inches across. Somewhat
flat-faced, the five petals may
have a face of a different color.

(WQA), 54 percent of con-
sumers polled were con-
cerned about contaminants
in tap water, and 49 percent
were concerned or very con-
cerned about their house-
hold water supply
"We are seeing people be-
come more educated about
water issues and finding
ways to ensure water quality
for their families," says Peter
J. Censky, WQA executive di-
rector Although safety regu-
lations do ensure at least a
minimal level of cleanliness
and safety in municipal
water supplies, taking re-
sponsibility for the health of
our own drinking water is
smart. Indeed, even the
President's Cancer Panel
recommends the use of
home filtering devices to de-
crease exposure to cancer-
causing agents. To ensure
you have safe drinking water
in your home, take these
steps:
Every year by July 1, your
water supplier will mail you
an annual Consumer Confi-
dence Report (also called
the Drinking Water Quality
Report). You may also be
able to find your report on
the EPAs website. The EPA
offers online tools to help
you learn how to read the re-
port at its Local Drinking
Water Information page. You
also may find your local and
state reports in the EWG's
National Drinking Water
Database.
While these reports offer
an analysis of your local
water at its source, it's also
wise to directly test your tap
water at home. Some con-
taminants, such as lead,
could leach through pipes


and household plumbing,
and therefore not be de-
tected before water enters
your home. Relatively inex-
pensive home water-testing
kits are available at hard-
ware stores. You could also
obtain professional tests on
your water; the EPA recom-
mends contacting your state
certification program for a
list of certified laboratories.
Drinking water contami-
nants come from many
sources: Radon, radium and
arsenic are naturally occur-
ring, while microorganisms,
pesticides and nitrates come
from people, animals and in-
dustry Here are a few con-
taminants to specifically
watch out for:
U Chromium-6 (Hexava-
lent chromium): You may be
familiar with this highly
toxic chemical from the
movie Erin Brockovich.
Chromium-6 occurs natu-
rally from the erosion of
chromium deposits, but it
can also be produced by in-
dustrial processes and re-
leased into the environment
by poor storage or inade-
quate industrial waste dis-
posal practices. In a 2010 tap
water survey, the EWG found
this known carcinogen in 31
of the 35 American cities
tested-that's 89 percent
While chromium-3 is an im-
portant dietary element,
chromium-6 is believed to
cause many serious health
problems, including cancer
The EPAs maximum level of
chromium was set in 1991,
but in 2008, the agency began
a rigorous and comprehen-
sive review of chromium-6
health effects based on new
science. According to the

Afrazine. This common
herbicide is thought to poten-
tially cause endocrine dis-
ruption, cancer and
reproductive disorders. Stud-
ies have linked high levels of
atrazine in the water supply
to birth defects in children,
and in one study male frogs
exposed to atrazine trans-
formed into fully functioning
female frogs. Use of the her-
bicide is particularly high in
the Midwest, where it's used
on crops in spring. Six states
- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Mississippi and Ohio
- recently settled a lawsuit
against Syngenta, the manu-
facturer of atrazine, for mil-
lions to subsidize the
chemical's removal from the
public water supply Atrazine
is among the pollutants dis-
cussed in the 2012 water
quality documentary Last
Call at the Oasis, which fea-
tures Erin Brockovich and
other environmental experts.
Chlorine and chlo-
ramines. Chlorine is com-
monly used by
municipalities to help purify
the local water supply How-
ever, chlorine can combine
with organic matter in water
to create chlorination by-
products, which could poten-
tially cause cancer, according
to NSF International, an in-
dependent nonprofit organi-
zation that provides
standards development,
product certification and
risk management to help
protect the world's food,


water and health. Some mu-
nicipalities have switched
from chlorine to chloramine
(a combination of chlorine
and arsenic) to treat water
Although the EPA classifies
both as safe at levels used in
drinking water, both chlorine
and chloramine are toxic at
high levels and have been as-
sociated with health risks. If
your local water utility uses
chloramines as a disinfec-
tant, make sure the water fil-
tration system you use is
certified specifically for
chloramines, and not only
chlorine, the NSF
recommends.
Lead. Lead is a highly
toxic metal. If your home
was built before 1986, it's
more likely to have lead
pipes, fixtures and solder,
according to the EPA. Even
legally "lead-free" plumbing
in newer homes may contain
up to 8 percent lead. No
amount of lead exposure is
considered safe drinking
lead-contaminated water
could result in physical and
mental development delays
in babies and children.
Adults aren't immune: Watch
out for blood pressure in-
creases and kidney prob-
lems. Because lead is more
likely to enter drinking
water through the corrosion
of plumbing materials where
water has high acidity or low
mineral content, the EPA is-
sued the Lead and Copper
rule, which requires treat-
ment systems to make drink-
ing water less corrosive to
the materials it comes into
contact with on its way to
consumers' taps. You can


read more about lead expo-
sure at the EPAs website.
While many filter tech-
nologies exist, those most
adept at removing contami-
nants include carbon or
charcoal filtration and re-
verse osmosis. Carbon filters
vary in effectiveness; some
remove chlorine only while
others remove a range of
contaminants, including
lead and mercury You will
find carbon filters in carbon
block and granulated acti-
vated carbon varieties. In
general, carbon block filters
are more effective. Carbon
filters cannot effectively re-
move many inorganic pollu-
tants such as arsenic,
fluoride or nitrate, according
to the EWG.
Reverse osmosis filters
are adept at removing inor-
ganic contaminants not re-
moved by carbon filters. You
can sometimes find combi-
nation carbon/reverse osmo-


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

sis filters, which remove a
wide range of organic and
inorganic pollutants. How-
ever, reverse osmosis filters
use three to 20 times the
water they produce, so limit
their use to drinking and
cooking water
Other filter types you may
encounter include ozone
and UV (ultraviolet). These
are effective at removing or
killing bacteria and microor-
ganisms but not chemical
contaminants.

Dear Kelli: My kids speed skate and
run cross country Athletic clothing is
costly I look for leggings, fitted shorts
and shirts. I found two pairs of Under
Armour leggings for $1 each. In the
sports stores they cost more than $40.
Recently, I found hockey sticks in great
condition for $0.50-0.99. My kids love to
use them for roller hockey at the outdoor
rink. I also found brand new CCM ice
skates (the blades hadn't even been
sharpened yet) for $3, and an Adidas
track jacket and pants for $1 each (re-
tails for about $40 and $35 respectively).

(Magnolia grandiflora).
Of the 60,000 to 70,000 species of
trees in the world that have been iden-
tified by botanists, a few hundred are
palms, about 500 are conifers, and the
rest are broad-leaved trees. Approxi-
mately 865 different species of trees
are native to or naturalized in the con-
tinental United States. The most no-
table of these are in the pine, yew,
palm, maple, cashew, walnut, beech,
birch, magnolia, laurel, rose and wil-
low families.A bit closer to home, in
Florida there are 300 species of native
trees and more than 1,000 non-native
species introduced to the state.
With so many species of trees that
successfully grow in Central Florida,
it is no wonder that residents are often
perplexed as to the best selection for
their home landscape. To help you de-

Dear Sara: I have a HUGE zucchini
in my fridge. I want to make zucchini
bread eventually (not today or tomor-
row), but I think it would make a dozen
or more. Can you freeze zucchini? Can
you just grate it and freeze it in indi-
vidual portions to use for baking later?
I don't want it to go to waste. I eat zuc-
chini sauteed each week, but this
would be enough to feed my fiancee
and I for a month. -Marie, New York
Dear Marie: Yes, you can freeze
grated zucchini. Be sure to cut and
scoop out the seeds. Your life will be
easier if you freeze it in the cup meas-
urements needed for your bread
recipe. You can add the grated zucchini
