Grab a razor On National Be Bald and Be Free Day, county's shiniest share bare-all tell-alls NANCY KENNEDY Staff Writer Goodbye comb overs. (Goodbye combs.) So long shampoo and conditioners, volu- minizers and gels, and hello razor. According to the buzz, men are increas- ingly bidding farewell to their receding hairlines and embracing the chrome-dome look. We salute you, Michael Jordan and Andre Agassi. Long may you live, Bruce Willis, George Foreman and Elmer Fudd. Today, Oct 14, is National Be Bald and Be Free Day A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania, "Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance," found that men with shaved heads are perceived to be "more masculine, dominant and, in some cases, to have greater leadership potential than those with longer locks or with thinning hair." "It's a matter of national pride," said Ho- mosassa baldie Ricky Williams. "As my wife reminded me, our national bird is the American bald eagle, not the 'flowing locks of hair' eagle." Longtime bald guy Steve Childs shaved his hair off in 1996 after a $50 bet from his dad. "It was a bloody mess at first," he said, "but now I rarely cut myself." He said the secret to a nice shine is slap- ping on some aftershave. For Scotty Chmura, a 25-year-old Inver- ness college student and drummer for Mighty Mongo and newly shorn shav- ing off his trademark bleached blond spikes was less a matter of national pride than a matter of making peace with the inevitable. "I've had a receding hairline since middle school," he said. "Bleaching my hair was cool, until I realized I was killing my hair." He said he often practices with his drum set in front of a mirror, and as he was watch- ing himself earlier this summer in prepa- ration for the band's Warped Tour gig he had a "just-shave-it" moment He went to the barbershop, and as the See Page A8 Heart talk Elie Weisel speaks about his latest book, "Open Heart."/Page B8 COMMENTARY: Death debate Anthony Schembri talks about the polarizing issue of the death penalty/Page C1 BUSINESS: DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle The Welch family has been an instrumental part of Citrus County's history for nearly 50 years. The children all worked in the business. Brad Welch, left, is the services manager, Rick Welch is the general manager and Lori McKettrick is the office manager at Welch's Cabinets and Appliances. The sign in front of the siblings is the first their father Dick Welch painted when he opened the company in 1963. A family-built affair Conspiracy? After timely drop in unemployment, conspir- acy theories abound - and some spring from unlikely sources. /Page D1 NANCY KENNEDY Staff Writer INVERNESS When the late Dick Welch first came to Inverness from Ohio in 1948, he wasn't planning on staying. But he loved the hunting and fishing haven he found and the pine tree wilderness for miles and miles. He decided he could make a decent living building plywood fishing boats. He met and married Mazie and settled down to raise a family When boat builders and boat buyers turned to fiberglass and away from wood, Welch looked around at all his woodworking tools, checked out some books from the library and taught himself cabinetry Welch Cabinets, which would become an Inverness institution, was born Just shy of 50 years later, three of the four children of Dick Welch - See Page A7 Chain won't confirm new location PAT FAHERTY .- 4 Staff Writer INVERNESS Site work could begin next month on a new shopping center in Inverness.

"Construction will start Nov. 2 for the base- mounted LED (light- emitting diode) lights," Quincy Wylupek, engi- neering project manager, reported Thursday to the Citrus County Aviation Advisory Board. Board Chairman Kennedy Smith asked if the construction would disrupt the use of the air- port. Wylupek said most of the work would take place at night. Tom Davis, president of Crystal Aero Group Inc., which operates the airport, spoke on the sub- ject of appraisal of the airport. Under a mandate from the Federal Avia- tion Administration, air- ports must be appraised for their fair-market value to draw compar- isons for the costs of serv- ices offered. The county, which has airports in Crystal River and Inverness, would need to comply to con- tinue to receive FAA grants. Smith said Inver- ness Airport, for exam- ple, received funding for $6.2 million of construc- tion that cost the county only $380,000, showing how important FAA grants are to the county. "I am not arguing with the mandate, but with what the study will say," Davis said. He was concerned a fair-market value ap- praisal would be con- ducted by a consultant who would look only at land values, not the many services the airport provides. Davis questioned how an appraiser would draw comparisons to similar properties. He said Crys- tal River Airport has pro- vided a wide variety of services such as fuel, hangars, maintenance, training, rentals, pilots and veterans training. Not all of the services were profitable. "On an economic scale, it's hard for the small air- port to pay its own way," Davis said. "Some serv- ices are losers, but we have to have them there." Setting a lower ap- praisal on an airport be- cause market values have been declining could repel new business. "If it's a mistake, then we all lose," Davis said. Crystal River Airport has a great deal of future potential, Davis said, and displayed his own com- parison study of the 11 airports in the Continu- ing Florida Aviation Sys- tems Planning Process (CFASPP) north central region, showing Crystal River offers the most services within the group. Wylupek said no plan is in process yet to perform an appraisal of the air- ports. Smith said while it would appear the county is getting good value from its airports, the idea of having a consultant come in seemed reasonable.

No beans about it DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle ABOVE: Rub Ya' Right Barbecue's Mark Mlynski has Holly Youger taste a batch of chili Saturday at the Southeast Regional Chili Cookoff Championship at Nature's Resort in Homosassa. Rub Ya' Right describes its chili as a pure Texas chili; no beans, no fillers and 16 spices make up the CASI Award-winning chili. BELOW: Nancy Week, Lisa Gray and Danny Week try some of GrannyB Chili at Nature's Resort in Homosassa. Brenda Smith-McKenzie was the chili cook and described the different chilis she was serving. Chili connoisseurs taste beanless concoctions at international cook-off contest ERYN WORTHINGTON Staff Writer HOMOSASSA No beans al- lowed! Meat, gravy and smack- talking required. Connoisseurs got a mixture of all three Saturday at the 46th an- nual Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) chili cook- off at Nature Coast's RV Park in Homosassa. CASI, a nonprofit organization, hosts more than 600 chili cook- offs internationally each year to raise money for various charities. Proceeds from Saturday's chili cook-off were donated to the local 4-H club in Lecanto. Inter- nationally, they raise more than a million dollars annually for char- ities and scholarships. The top three teams automati- cally qualified to attend the Ter- lingua International Chili Championship in Terlingua, Texas, which is the first Saturday in November each year. A stan- dard chili year runs from October to October. Therefore, competi- tors compete for the Terlingua trip for the following year. "CASI has particular rules," Sunshine State Park President Candace Arevalo said. "Meat and spices only There are no vegeta- bles or beans allowed." Nonetheless, chili cooks travel around the world benefiting charities and competing for brag- ging rights and smack talking at the Terlingua International Chili Championship. However, one traveling cook left his hometown of Terlingua, Texas, to travel to Homosassa for the chili cook-off. "We don't get to travel as much as we use to," James Taylor said. "But we wanted to get away for a few days and heard that Ho- mosassa was hosting their cook- off. We love it here and decided to come." What's his secret recipe? "First off, you don't put beans in a chili," Taylor said. "One of the key things to look for in com- petition chili is not to be able to identify anything but meat and gravy. Gravy is what we call it." What is his strategy in competing? "You want it to be spicy but not pepper hot," Taylor said.

Texas chili cookers coming to Florida has become a friendly competition of its own. Like school rivalries, chili cooks seem to feel the same way "There is a large (contingent) from Texas there today," Kitty Dolan said. "There is a Texas- Florida rivalry. There is a lot of smack-talking, but we are all fam- ily at the end of the day" Family is exactly what draws most chili cooks in continuing the traveling competition. "I have a sista' in each state," Arevalo said. "It is the friend- ships that you make along the chili trail." With the friendship they have established, most cooks don't mind giving their special recipe out to "wannabe" chili cooks. However, Taylor knows cooking the recipe is the true secret. "You can give someone a recipe but you can't cook it for them," Taylor said.

State BRIEFS Stone crab season Fungal meningitis Father of missing UF to help fishermen case in Escambia Co. student to help police MARATHON Florida's com- mercial fishermen are hoping win- ter visitors will flock to the Sunshine State for stone crab season. Gary Graves is vice president of Keys Fisheries, the largest processor of the crab's tasty claws in the Florida Keys. He said a strong winter tourism season for the state normally translates into higher fiscal yields for the industry. Graves said some 75 percent of all claws harvested by Florida's commercial fishermen remain in Florida and are mostly consumed by visitors. He added consumers should expect slightly higher sea- son-opening prices, due to fuel cost increases for fishermen. He expects retail seafood market prices to be about $10 per pound for medium claws, $16 for large and $21 for jumbos. The stone crab season runs Monday through May 15. TALLAHASSEE Florida now has 10 confirmed cases of fungal meningitis. The Florida Department of Health confirmed Saturday that Escambia County has its case of fungal meningitis associated with contaminated steroid injections from the New England Com- pounding Center. A 47-year-old man who received treatment from Pain Consultants of West Florida in Pensacola was injected with one of the tainted shots. Six facilities in Florida have re- ceived and used the contaminated injections. Florida Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong said they do not antici- pate "more patients will be affected" as the investigation continues. Health officials said the number of cases nationwide have sick- ened at least 197 people, includ- ing 15 deaths across 13 states. CEDAR KEY The father of a missing University of Florida stu- dent is helping investigators deter- mine whether a body found in rural Levy County is his son. Gainesville Police said they are assisting the Levy County Sheriff's Office with the discovery and pro- cessing of a human body found Friday in Cedar Key. Police de- clined to release more information. The Miami Herald reported Car- los Aguilar is traveling from Miami to meet with investigators. He said police told him they have a body matching his son, 18-year-old Christian Aguilar, who was last seen in a Gainesville Best Buy store with his friend, 18-year-old Pedro Bravo. Bravo was charged with first-degree murder. Police say Bravo told them he beat Aguilar unconscious and left him in a parking lot. From staff reports CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Politicians spar over medical histories Associated Press MIAMI Florida congress- woman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is sparring with her Republican challenger over whether it's appropriate on the campaign trail to high- light being a cancer survivor Republican Karen Har- rington is accusing Wasser- man Schultz of referring to her battle with breast cancer in a recent campaign flier to score political points. "I was fortunate. I had good insurance and great doctors. Today, I'm a sur- vivor. But like every breast cancer survivor, I now have a pre-existing condition," Wasserman Schultz says in a campaign flier. She has un- dergone seven major sur- geries in the past year, including a double mastectomy. Harrington, whose own campaign website briefly mentions she, too, is a can- cer survivor, sharply criti- cized the flier in both a press release and in a fundraising email. State BRIEFS State workers comp TD Bank: Customers rates climb steeply exposed in data breach TALLAHASSEE Florida's workers compensation insurance rates have climbed from 40th to 29th most expensive in the na- tion over the last two years. That 11-point increase was reported in a study released this week by the Oregon De- partment of Consumer & Busi- ness Services. It issues a comparison of rates in the 50 states on Jan. 1 of each even- numbered year. The Florida Office of Insur- ance Regulation noted in a news release Friday that the Sunshine State's rate of $1.82 per $100 of payroll is still below the national median of $1.88. Businesses and other em- ployers buy workers compen- sation insurance to cover on-the-job injuries. Florida Insurance Commis- sioner Kevin McCarty said the study shows that the state needs to be proactive in consid- ering legislation to keep its rates nationally competitive. CHERRY HILL, N.J. TD Bank has begun notifying about 260,000 customers from Maine to Florida that the company said may have been affected by a data breach. Company spokeswoman Re- becca Acevedo confirmed in emails Friday to The Associ- ated Press that unencrypted backup data tapes were mis- placed in transport in March. She said the tapes contained personal information, including account information and Social Security numbers, but the com- pany is not aware of any mis- use of customer information. Still, TD Bank has not ruled out the possibility and is monitoring the situation. She said the company is sending letters to customers whose data was on the tapes, and is offering them free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. -From wire reports For the RECORD Citrus County Sheriff's Office Arrests Kerri Lee O'Brien, 32, Beverly Hills, at 10 a.m. Tues- day was arrested on charges of two counts of burglary, two counts of petit theft, violation of sub sections felony level, viola- tion of sub sections misde- meanor level, grand theft and utter and publish a forged instru- ment.

She left the Legislature in 2007 to become a member of the Public Service Commission and resigned in October 2010 just months before her term ended. Now Argenziano is back, this time hoping to boot Smith from office as a member of the Independent Party of Florida. "It's appropriate to go back and ring the bell," she said. Argenziano made her name via brash, no-holds-barred representation. She took on party leaders, influential lobbyists and special interest groups. Critics say she's too brash, too difficult to work with. And now that she's not a member of ei- ther major political party, opponents say she will find no allies in Tallahassee. Argenziano said she's heard that before, and proved people wrong. "That was said in nearly every election I've had," Argenziano told the Chronicle Editorial Board last week. "I fight with the bad guys. I had great relationships with the good guys. There are still plenty of good guys left." She added: "The bad guys are always going to be the ones to say I can't get along with everybody" On the other hand, Argenziano is sharply critical of Smith who, she said, voted 100 percent with Republican leadership on major bills. "If he showed one ounce of independ- ence I may not be in the race," she said. issue," he said. se discussions m Citrus County officials.

"The bills I ran came from my connection to the com- munity," he said. "I run issue bills trying to fix what's bro- ken in government" The drug-testing bill for welfare recipients, he said, is a crowning success. While critics have pointed out a relatively small percentage of positive drug tests, Smith said the results don't show the people who have quit il- legal drugs because they don't want to lose state assistance. "It's absolutely one of the best things I've ever done," he said. Smith acknowledged his re-election bid against Ar- genziano does not fit the tra- ditional incumbent vs. challenger race because Ar- genziano is a former member of the House, Senate and Public Service Commission. "I have a proactive work ethic," Smith said. "I don't demagogue anybody At no point has she said she can work with the Republicans." And she is perplexed by Smith's claim that he is the most active legislator Citrus County has ever had. "How does he know who came before him and what we did?" she said, referring to Citrus County legislators who served before him. Argenziano's choice to run as an Independ- ent came about by accident. After leaving the PSC, Argenziano stayed in Tallahassee and planned a run for Congress. However, a new state law required anyone who wanted to switch parties to run for office need to do so within one year of qualifying. Argenziano, then a Republican, went to the local elections office and registered Independent-- think- ing it was the same as no-party affiliation. When Argenziano announced her plans to run for the U.S. House as a Democrat, she learned she couldn't because Inde- pendent is a viable political party and it was too late to change parties. She sued to have the law overturned but lost. Argenziano said she won't change parties again if elected to the state House. "I think I've always been an independ- ent," she said. Argenziano differs with Smith's support for drug-testing bills, the education "parent trigger" bill, and legislation that stops local governments from enacting ordinances lim- iting the type and frequency of fertilizer Argenziano said she would support legis- lation allowing counties and cities to con- trol fertilizer sales to stop pollution in water bodies like King's Bay "We have an incredible resource right here that makes us a lot of money," she said. "What he should be doing is protecting the resource."

After slowly surmounting a key obstacle, Endeavour maintained a heading through the streets of Los Angeles toward its retirement home at a museum. Shutle heads to museum Associated Press LOS ANGELES At every turn of Endeavour's stop-and-go commute through urban streets, a constellation of spectators trailed along as the space shuttle ploddingly nosed past stores, schools, churches and front yards. Having escaped out of Earth's atmosphere two dozen times, Endeavour's slow-speed trek Saturday to its retirement center took it through the working class streets of southern Los Angeles. In an instant, the shuttle crossings became part of history Along the 12-mile course, people marveled at the engineering. Some rooted for Endeavour when it appeared it might clip a light post. Others wondered if it could just hurry up to its destination. Crowds gathered in front of Inglewood High School before sunrise Saturday to watch Endeavour roll by at 2 mph. Many were bundled up sipping coffee. By late afternoon, some 30,000 A C- I UERA11CAis - people were gathered along the final stretch of the jour- ney, according to fire depart- ment estimates. Dean Martinez, who lives in Los Angeles but works in Inglewood, came with his wife and 9-year-old daughter "This is great for the city as a whole. It makes us proud," said Martinez, a project di- rector for a nonprofit whose family took turns taking pic- tures of one another as the shuttle slowly inched by Endeavour was scheduled to inch into the California Science Center late Satur- day to spend the rest of its years as a museum piece.

On Sept. 14 they signed papers selling the property their father purchased in 1963. A development company purchased it with plans to build a shopping plaza, re- portedly to be home to a Publix. Publix will not con- firm it plans to locate to the area of the Welch property. Tears, laughter and fond memories Tears came to Brad Welch's eyes as he spoke about the day they signed. "This has been my whole life I've done nothing else," he said. "From the time I was old enough to walk, I was here. It's the only job I've ever had, so this is an empty hole." Rick Welch, oldest son of Dick Welch, has been the general manager; Brad Welch, the service manager and Lori McKettrick, office manager Their youngest sister, Tina Brooks, lives in Jacksonville and works in health care. "Dad first worked out of the old Allen lumber com- pany on North Apopka next to the railroad tracks," Rick Welch said. "He started out as Welch Boatworks." He started Welch Cabinets just as the building boom in Citrus County was under way. His was one of the first cab- inet shops in the county, which he built on the property that now sits on State Road 44. "People made fun of Dad back then, asking, 'Why did you build so far out of town?'" McKettrick said. "Back then, the area was just pine trees," Rick Welch said. "There was no school board building, no WTI, no bank or Pizza Hut no nothing." "People used to be afraid to drive to Crystal River at night," Brad Welch said. "It was just one black hole." As the area exploded with growth, especially in the Highlands area of Inverness, Dick Welch added selling appliances to the business, since kitchen cabinets and refrigerators and stoves went hand in hand. In 1965, the business changed to Welch Cabinets and Appliances. "In its day, this was the place to get a summer or after-school job," Brad Welch said. "Dad was al- ways one for taking people in and under his wing, train- ing and teaching them." McKettrick said many current community leaders had at one time worked for Dick Welch. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 A7 A second store opened in Crystal River in 1979, which closed this past June. The cabinet shop part of the business closed in 2001, 10 years after Dick Welch died at age 68. "The business took a big hit when all the big-box stores started coming into the area," McKettrick said, "but we've kept a following of loyal cus- tomers. That's going to be the hardest thing all the friends we've made." Some of the Welch siblings' fondest memories of their dad revolve around his in- volvement in the community Dick Welch volunteered for everything fire depart- ment, sheriff's office. He'd host fish fry dinners out in front of his store and Hal- loween parties, a tradition son Rick carried on and then some. They used to rent the county auditorium and pack it with up to 1,000 people. "Many relationships started with the Halloween party," recalled Rocky Hensley, friend of Rick Welch for more than 55 years. "Folks came from all over the county good, clean fun with good folks. The Welch family has left their mark on so many worthwhile causes the Citrus County 4-H Rodeo, Citrus County Chamber events, Strawberry Festival, Manatee Festival, as well as what they do for their church family, always willing to lend a hand and help when asked. "This is truly a business that was family-built and sustained over many years by hard work and caring for the community where they live and work," he said. Family legacy The Welch siblings agree it's time to close up shop and do something else. What that will be, they don't know. They're still trying to grasp the concept of not going to the same place they've gone to for the past 50 years. "I hope we've brought good to the community," McKettrick said. "Growing up here, then raising our own chil- dren here, it's always been about family and hometown values. Having our business has been a great way to make a living and gave us the op- portunity to employ quite a few people and meet many others who became great friends as well as customers. But participating in all the volunteer work and giving back has probably been the most important thing we've accomplished." Brad Welch said their dad told them it didn't matter if they made a lot of money "Dad told us if you treat people fair you'll make a fair living, and we have," he said. McKettrick added, "We've decided we were never meant to be rich, but we're rich in the ways that matter, which is our family That's what matters." *~' ~ ~ t F ~' ( PreMdest Disk Weaoh ofa car nr Glu.mWLo Commerce, InvetIsm snoat Iaff_ m fu 1th WIt.s Frank E.

He said when the barber was finished, he felt like a kid at an awkward middle school dance. "I didn't know what to do," he said. "How do I act? I'm bald now. I have no identity now. When my hair was white and spiky, every- one could see me." He said he still considers himself a "newbie baldie," although he no longer has to wear a beanie to hide the bandages, scars and scabs from cutting himself shaving. "I shave every two or three days now," he said. "Otherwise I look like a re- jected Chia Pet." Also, he has discovered, a bald head is a magnet for people wanting to rub it, which may or may not be a welcome gesture depend- ing on whose hands are doing the rubbing. "Wear sunscreen," Chmura warned for those considering going hairless. "I learned that the hard way"' GOT A NEWS TIP? The Chronicle welcomes tips from readers about breaking news.

How to shave your head * After buzzing your head, gather up your shaving cream and a new razor, preferably one designed for head shaving yes, there is such a thing and hop in the shower. Let the hot water soften your scalp and relax your scalp muscles, then lather up. * Take a breath, relax, then start making long, smooth strokes. Experienced shavers say it gets easier and less bloody and, with practice, should eventually take two to five minutes every two or three days. Like Chmura, County Commis- sioner Dennis Damato started to go bald in his 20s. "My dad and un- cles were all bald, so I knew it was coming," he said. Br Damato had the Thc classic shiny-on- top, hairy-on-the-sides ton- sure going on until he faced cancer surgery on top of his head in 2007. That's when he went into the bathroom and shaved everything. "It was great," he said. "If I knew it would feel this good, I would've done it in fifth grade." His second scalp surgery required a skin graft taken from his thigh, so now he has leg hair growing on top of his head. Damato adds a coolness factor to his baldness by wearing skull caps to match his clothing and his mood. Although County Administrator Brad Thorpe never resorted to a comb over to hide his baldness, when he was a county com- missioner in the rad 1990s he did wear a irpe very convincing hairpiece. He said deciding to come out of the baldness closet was a relief. "Hairpieces are expen- sive, they're hot and re- quire a lot of care," he said. "Shaving your head is so freeing. Hats fit better - they're snugger and you get a better fit, a better seal. I think being bald is more ac- ceptable nowadays than it used to be. "I am bald," Thorpe said. "And I am free."

It fronts on S.R. 44, currently the site of Welch Cabinets and Appliances. It has been referred to at city council meetings as the new Publix, but the super- market chain has refused to confirm it is building a new store or relocating the exist- ing one. The chain has five stores in Citrus County. Publix is now located a short distance away in the 20-acre Inverness Regional Shopping Center on U.S. 41. The store is 38,520 square feet, compared to the proposed 46,013-square-foot store planned for the new center. According to the site plan for the new shopping center, a small retail space will be attached to the main store and a 12,000-square-foot de- tached retail space. The center will have 250 parking spaces. Getting to the site-planning stage was a complicated process for Benderson De- velopment Co., a national real estate company that owns and manages more than 700 properties in 38 states. Todd Mathes, an agent for Benderson, explained the project went to the Inverness Planning and Zoning Com- mission inJuly2011, presented by attorney Clark Stillwell. Putting the plan together in- volved negotiations with several property owners, Citrus County and the city. The site required a special exception from the city, a variance for signs and for the city to vacate some streets. The project had early support from both the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce and the Citrus County Eco- nomic Development Coun- cil, with both committing to work with potential tenants to help fill the space that will be vacated if Publix moves. Lee Alan, real estate man- ager for Sweetbay Super- markets, opposed the plan on traffic and access grounds in asking the commission to deny the application. Edward Silvera, managing member of Surrey LLC, owner of In- verness Regional Shopping CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Center, said it opposed the application. Commissions voted unan- imously to recommend the council approve the appli- cation. But council approval took more than year. The process was delayed be- cause needed property was tied up in bankruptcy court. Later that month the coun- cil approved the sign vari- ance. During council discussion in April 2012, the minutes show there was concern about the stability of the re- maining businesses in the event of Publix's departure. Inverness Development Di- rector Ken Koch said Beall's Outlet had submitted plans to improve its store. Last month, Stillwell said, a final agreement was reached with the city of In- verness and deals were closed on the other three parcels needed for the project. "We haven't scheduled a date to break ground yet," Mathes said. "We are reviewing site bids now. It could be in about 30 days in November" As of Oct. 11, no city build- ing permits had been issued for project.

In the five decades since the nuclear standoff be- tween Washington and Moscow, much of the long- held conventional wisdom about the missile crisis has been knocked down, includ- ing the common belief that Kennedy's bold brinksman- ship ruled the day On the eve of the 50th an- niversary of the Cuban mis- sile crisis, historians now say it was behind-the-scenes compromise rather than a high-stakes game of chicken that resolved the faceoff, that both Washington and Moscow wound up winners and that the crisis lasted far longer than 13 days. Among the common be- liefs about the Cuban mis- sile crisis that have been reevaluated: CONVENTIONAL WIS- DOM: The crisis was a tri- umph of U.S. brinkmanship. REALITY: Historians say the resolution of the stand- off was really a triumph of backdoor diplomacy Kennedy resisted pressure from aides advising that he cede nothing to Moscow and even consider a pre-emptive strike. He instead engaged in intense behind-the- scenes diplomacy with the Soviets, other countries and the U.N. secretary-general. Attorney General Robert E Kennedy met secretly with the Soviet ambassador on Oct 27 and conveyed an olive branch from his brother: Washington would publicly reject any invasion of Cuba, and Khrushchev would withdraw the missiles from the island. The real sweet- ener was that Kennedy would withdraw Jupiter nu- clear missiles from U.S. in- stallations in Turkey, near the Soviet border. Nevertheless, the brinkmanship myth persists, with President George W Bush in 2002 citing the missile crisis as a historical lesson in fortitude that justified a preemptive invasion of Iraq. CONVENTIONAL WIS- DOM: Washington won, and Moscow lost REALITY: The United States came out a winner, but so did the Soviet Union. The Jupiter missiles are sometimes described as nearly obsolete, but they had come online just months earlier and were fully capable of striking into the Soviet Union. Their withdrawal, along with Kennedy's assur- ance he would not invade Cuba, gave Khrushchev enough to feel he had saved face and the following day he announced the imminent dismantling of offensive weapons in Cuba. Soon after, a U.S.-Soviet presidential hotline was es- tablished and the two na- tions initiated discussions that led to the Limited Test Ban treaty and ultimately the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Feds OK plan to ID source of Gulf sheen Associated Press NEW ORLEANS Federal offi- cials said late Friday they have ap- proved a joint plan from BP and Transocean to identify the source of a sheen in the Gulf Of Mexico as- sociated with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Officials said in a news release that the federal on-site coordinator approved the joint plan on Thurs- day Coast Guard Capt. Duke Walker had required the plan, and federal officials informed BP and Transocean they might be held re- sponsible for the costs of identify- ing the source and the cleanup. Federal scientists and BP say oil appears to have leaked last month from the drilling wreckage lying at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico near where a BP well blew out in 2010, causing the nation's worst off- shore spill. A probe started after a sheen was discovered Sept. 16 in the waters near the site indicates the oil may have seeped from a mile-long metal tube. called the riser, which con- nected the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to the Macondo well. The plan calls for "satellite ob- servations and mobilizing remotely operated vehicles to examine the original Macondo well area includ- ing the wreckage, debris and the riser on the sea floor," according to the news release. The Coast Guard will oversee the remote vehicle mobilization Sunday, with operations taking place early next week logistics and weather permitting The well itself, capped after more than 200 million gallons of oil spewed, is not believed to be leaking, offi- cials said. The oil sheen posed no environmental threat because it was a small amount of oil and was far from land, federal officials said. The announcement of oil leaking out comes at a sensitive time as BP and the Justice Department nego- tiate terms of a possible settlement to resolve government's claims against the oil giant. Several billion dollars are at stake if the talks produce a settlement for what likely will be record-setting civil and criminal penalties. Chinese whistleblower punished Nonprofit organizations are invited to submit Associated Press BEIJING A Chinese man has been ordered to serve seven days in deten- tion for posting details on- line about the case of a former police chief that set off a political firestorm this year, state media re- ported Saturday The leaked information revealed that Wang Lijun, the former police chief of the southwest city of Chongqing, traveled to Beijing accompanied by national security officers in February after leaving a U.S. Consulate in the nearby city of Chengdu, where he had divulged in- formation that brought down high-profile politician Bo Xilai. The information rebukes the initial official explana- tion for Wang's absence after he left the consulate, which said he was on vaca- tion receiving therapeutic treatments. The leaked de- tails also offer a glimpse into how Beijing reacted to Wang's failed bid at the con- sulate to defect to the U.S. The scandal involving Wang and Bo has rocked China's top leadership as it pre- pares for next month's once- in-a-decade power transition to the next generation of leaders. Citing information from the local national security bureau, the state-run Chengdu Daily newspaper said an airline worker gave Wang's personal informa- tion to a friend. The leaked information includes the identification numbers of Wang and a national secu- rity officer as well as flight information, apparently gleaned from travel docu- ments. The paper identified the friend as a hotel em- ployee whose surname is Mao and said he posted the information online. By doing so, Mao "leaked national security work secrets on purpose," the paper said. It said Mao signed the pa- perwork accepting the pun- ishment Friday afternoon and was led away by na- tional security personnel. The airline worker, whom the newspaper identified only by the surname Wang, received a warning, the Chengdu Daily said. While in the U.S. Consulate, Wang Lijun revealed his sus- picions Bo's wife murdered a British businessman. Since then, Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, has been convicted and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for the murder. Wang was sen- tenced to 15 years in prison for defection, bribery, abuse of power and bending the law for personal gains. news releases about upcoming community events. * Write the name of the event, who sponsors it, when and where it will take place and other details. * Include a contact name and phone number to be printed in the paper. * News releases are sub- ject to editing. * Call 563-5660 for details. * Multiple publications cannot be guaranteed.

According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, backache and more. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301.Now at select: Wat9e'i9 beans, potato tirangles, juice, milk.

Once again you have shown your love of books and read- ing as well as recognition of great bargains. Your sup- port of the Friends of Citrus County Library System and our libraries was fantastic. In the recently completed fall book sale you turned out to shop the many quality books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles and games at discount prices. Thousands of book lovers attended the five-day sale, scooping up the beau- tiful Faerieland selections and most of the other 80,000 items on display The fall fundraiser brought $47,143.03 to our libraries and the Citrus County Sys- tem. Our grand total since FOCCLS began in fall 2001 is now $708,557 well over half a million dollars. With the budget con- straints on all services and the even greater use of the libraries, these figures are particularly significant This money has enabled the libraries to provide new books and other materials requested by patrons to add even more to our libraries' importance and satisfaction in the community In addition to helping our libraries, the Central Ridge, Coastal Region and Lakes Region Friends partners again collected donations for the Dolly Parton Imagi- nation Library project which provides a book a month for children from birth to age 5. Our cus- tomers contributed $370 to help defray expenses of $30-a-year per child for postage to continue the de- livery of these great books. As a direct result, 10 chil- dren on the waiting list will receive their books. Our sales are huge under- takings, and we owe their success to many community organizations. We are very grateful to the many indi- viduals and groups who helped to make the fall sale another triumph. The Citrus County Chron- icle, as in the past, has been a great co-sponsor of the semi-annual event We es- pecially appreciate the help from Deb Kamlot, the staff of the community and news departments including Edi- tor Mike Arnold, reporters Eryn Worthington and Matt Beck, and editors of the weeklies as well as the ship- ping department for use of the truck and driver. Thank you to Steve Sachewicz and Quest Wealth Management for do- nating a laptop computer to raffle and for underwriting refreshments for our volun- teers. His contributions were responsible for more than $1,070 of our total. We also thank WYKE-TV for its continued support; the staff of the Citrus County Auditorium and Parks and Recreation for their friendliness and assis- tance; the many energetic Rotarians of Inverness for setting up more than 100 ta- bles; the Citrus High School Air Force JROTC students for distributing 1,140 jam- packed banana boxes in set- up and for after sale clean-up; the Inverness Wal-Mart Supercenter for banana boxes and the Crys- tal River Publix and Crystal River Sweetbay for supply- ing plastic bags; and Sue and Tom Smith of Maja Signs & Designs for provid- ing our bright yellow flags and updating our banner. Many thanks as well to the entire library staff and our faithful courier, Lee Seag- reaves, for their help in col- lection and delivery of donated materials. The success of these fundraisers also depends on the hard work and devo- tion of the FOCCLS volun- teers. To the 135 Friends who worked this sale, many thanks for your energy and enthusiasm. Finally, and most importantly, we salute the people of Citrus County who make these events pos- sible by their contributions of quality books and by their patronage of the sales. We couldn't succeed with- out you! FOCCLS accepts your do- nations year-round. Volun- teers are now at work sorting, pricing and packing boxes for our next sale, March 8 through 12, at the Citrus County Auditorium. Please read-return-recycle. Drop off your gently used books, games, puzzles, CDs and DVDs at the checkout desks of Central Ridge, Coastal or Lakes Region li- braries. We look forward to seeing you in the Spring!

As a case in point, the BOCC was asked to approve a request for $23,000 as matching funding to con- tinue the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) activities in Citrus County. Winn cast the deciding vote to reject the request His negative vote was not popular with many citizens, who do not understand the proposed services offered by the SBDC is a redundant program currently pro- vided by Dr Herzog and the highly qualified profes- sionals of SCORE. He was fully aware his deciding vote might affect his candidacy for sheriff, but this is Winn Webb. If elected, you can expect the same efforts to stop waste by unnecessary expendi- tures. Jimmy White Homosassa High standards When we think of those in law enforcement, per- sonal integrity, strength of character, high principles and moral conviction are what we look for. Winn Webb provides a high standard of the exam- ples we desire and expect from those who take an oath to protect us. His lead- ership style is of a humble servant, good listener, car- ing friend and dedicated official. True to his elected posi- tion and true to his family, Winn Webb is a man who can be counted on to act as he speaks and believes. When wrong, he admits it. When right, he takes time to explain it. His impartial- ity to all the citizens of his native Citrus County is re- freshing. The time is now to elect a new sheriff in Citrus County. Winn Webb has our vote. MaryAnn Fulkerson Floral City Compassionate We are three senior citi- zen ladies who wish to lend our endorsement and sup- port of Sheriff Jeff Dawsy in his campaign to continue as our sheriff for another term. We have lived in and loved "our" Citrus County for a collective total of more than 125 years. We are personally acquainted with Jeff Dawsy and his family and extended family Jeff has served Citrus County with his integrity and knowledge since he was first elected. We know he will continue to serve and represent Citrus County when he is re-elected. We have known Sheriff Dawsy to be honest as well as compassionate while re- maining tough on crime, criminals and all aspects of activities detrimental to the well-being of our county His experience and immaculate record as a proven leader mean we cit- izens will continue to feel safe and well-protected in our homes, our places of employment and even while enjoying our recre- ational endeavors. Please join us in our votes for Sheriff Dawsy There is an old saying which reads, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Apologies for the bad Eng- lish, however the sheriff's office is not broken - there is no need for "fixin'." Judith (Hodgkins) Casper Rosemary (Richey) Branham Lona (Sottrel) Prevatt Crystal River Impressive person I first met Jeff Dawsy in 1972 when I became en- gaged to his cousin, Tom.

Even now, 40 years later, I continue to be impressed with him not only as a lov- ing and devoted member of our family, but an outstand- ing sheriff whose charac- ter, qualifications and dedication are all beyond reproach. Jeff has devoted his life to serving others, which is evi- dent by his service in the Air Force and his more than 25 years as a criminal justice professional. He regards being sheriff as a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to bet- ter serve his community He always has the best interests and concerns of Citrus County citizens up- permost in his mind. His intense commitment to en- sure public safety has re- sulted in Citrus County becoming one of the safest counties, with populations more than 100,000, in Florida. Sheriff Dawsy possesses the experience, the skills to lead, the passion for serv- ice and the personality to get things done that the of- fice of sheriff requires. Jeff is a proven leader with a vi- sion for our future who is not afraid to make tough decisions in these challeng- ing times. His knowledge of the sheriff's office and the duties the sheriff must per- form is second to none. As sheriff, Jeff has devel- oped several outstanding and award-winning pro- grams. As a mother and grandmother, I'm most im- pressed with the programs he's developed that ad- dress the concerns we all share for the children of Citrus County. Such pro- grams as Jessie's Place (a child advocacy center), the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, the Child Protective Investigations Unit and the Sexual/Preda- tor Unit are making our county a safer place for children. I strongly encourage the voters of Citrus County to re-elect Sheriff Jeff Dawsy, recipient of the 2011 Na- tional Law Officer of the Year Award. Vicky Kane Pine Ridge Right choice There couldn't be a bet- ter time to vote Nancy Ar- genziano back into office. With the Southwest Florida Water Management District giving away our water to companies that will capitalize on it after sending it into other coun- ties, we need a representa- tive who has experience and success at protecting our water rights. Nancy's dedication to the people of Florida is evi- dent in the legislation she has sponsored and sup- ported. "Local sources first," "Kidcare," "Silver Savers prescription drug program," "Assisted care community protections," "Florida Efficient Govern- ment Act," and so on are bills she has written. Her laws protect the vulnerable in Florida children, eld- erly and resources. After sponsoring 208 bills to protect Florida's citizens and their water, it is evi- dent that Nancy is a dedi- cated and a hard worker. We need her now more than ever. Roger Dobronyi Inverness Best choice The election for sheriff of Citrus County should be of concern to all citizens of Citrus County, because the safety of the community de- pends on the performance of Sheriff Dawsy and his department. The incumbent, Sheriff Dawsy, has proven he is a person of exceptional char- acter and integrity who is fully qualified to manage an organization of well- trained personnel, whose performances allow citi- zens to reside in a safe community. Sheriff Dawsy is not only a highly skilled law en- forcement official, but a person who has demon- strated he cares about the community, as evidenced by his many charitable ac- tivities that benefit less for- tunate citizens. Being a person with more than 30 years of law enforcement and security management experience, I recognize and appreciate the demonstrated ability of Sheriff Dawsy to manage a large complex organiza- tion, where occasional mis- takes or errors may occur, but are promptly and effec- tively corrected in a trans- parent manner that precludes any hint of dis- honesty or corruption. The opponent of Sheriff Dawsy clearly does not possess law enforcement supervisory or manage- ment experience or any proven ability to manage a high-tech, multifaceted or- ganization. The lack of these necessary qualifica- tions would endanger pub- lic safety. Residents of Citrus County should support and re-elect Sheriff Dawsy be- cause, not only is he the best choice, but it will be a vote for their own safety and security.

Being a local business owner for the past 37 years in Citrus County, crime pre- vention is very important to me. For the past 15 years, Jeff Dawsy has fulfilled his responsibilities as sheriff in all aspects. Although crime cannot be com- pletely eliminated, Citrus County crime statistics from the Florida Depart- ment of Law Enforcement year after year have re- ported a decrease under Sheriff Dawsy's leadership. Local businesses and cit- izens are encouraged to as- sist the sheriff's office in deterring crime by using good practices in securing doors and windows, having adequate lighting around your building and various other tips the sheriff's of- fice offers with a residen- tial or commercial security survey service. The Community Oriented Policing and Public Safety Officer programs partner volunteers to help keep eyes on the community to help prevent crime. Patrol deputies routinely check on the businesses after hours along with the sher- iff's office aviation unit that patrols the county nightly to deter crime. Being a part-time deputy for the sheriff's office for many years I know first- hand the presence of the helicopter assists in pre- venting crime, gives backup support to road patrol offi- cers, along with helping find an elder with Alzheimer's or dementia or a child who has wandered from their safe environment Sheriff Dawsy proac- tively implements the pro- cedures and provides the necessary equipment to protect public safety and prevent crime. We need to keep Jeff Dawsy as sheriff I encourage you to join me on Nov 6 and vote for Jeff Dawsy Dave Warren Crystal River Proactive I am writing this letter in support of Sheriff Jeff Dawsy I have been a resi- dent of Citrus County for 11 years. I have traveled to many places in the country and have witnessed and read the serious crimes in those places, as opposed to the crime in Citrus County We are lucky to have a sheriff who cares about the people in this county He has done an admirable job of keeping the crime low. I feel very safe living in Cit- rus County. I have talked to a lot of my friends/neighbors, who have moved to Citrus County over the years from different states. They tell me the extent of the crime and how helpless/scared they felt living there.

Carol Pecar Inverness Inspiring It is indeed our pleasure to endorse Sam Himmel to continue as our Citrus County superintendent of schools. We have known Sam since she was a little girl - she has always been a posi- tive inspiration in anything she aspires to accomplish - faith, family, friends and career We have grandchildren in the Citrus County School System and are always so proud of the accomplish- ments they have been able to achieve within a supe- rior school system. We are so proud to tell others of our school system, which has continued to im- prove under the leadership of Sam Himmel she al- ways has the children's welfare and education in the forefront of her mind. Sam always responds to concerns and makes in- formed decisions. Again, the students come first. We feel her leadership is outstanding and encourage you to vote for Sam Him- mel on Nov 6 for Citrus County superintendent of schools. You won't be disappointed.

Recently, I have tried to digest the facts in your, and others, election information publications - not the trash put out by special-interest parties. From the first time I heard and observed Nancy Argenziano, I felt she was working for me. In her pres- ent position, I feel the same way She has more shall I say "guts" than most of her neutered contempo- raries (a bunch of lemmings from both parties). She has my interests - and that of her public - uppermost, I feel. Do yourselves a favor - bring back Nancy Argenziano! W.L. Pickett Crystal River Interests at hear I plan to vote for Nancy Argenziano to represent Citrus County in the Florida House on Election Day She has proven in both words and actions that she has the best interests of the citizens of this county front and center This past week I brought into my home a mailing full of lies and innuendo about Ms. Argenziano. If you read these mailers, you would *swam think Nancy spent her time in North Carolina fiddling while Citrus County burned, calling in only to check on the progress of the fire. Or you might be- lieve she moved to Talla- hassee because she couldn't stand Citrus County one more minute. If you read only this, you wouldn't know she moved to Tallahassee because it's somewhat untenable to commute every day to her job there when she was ap- pointed to the Public Serv- ice Commission. Nancy Argenziano can't buy this election she doesn't have the money The special interests and lobbyists seem to have very substantial funds at their disposal and a belief the people of Citrus County are too dumb to recognize de- ception and condescension when they see it. Nancy has been en- dorsed by union workers, firefighters, state troopers, law enforcement officers, healthcare and public serv- ice workers, the Florida Education Association - the list goes on. These are the people who make a dif- ference in our everyday lives and they have all en- dorsed (Nancy Argenziano). I urge you to join them.

One of my neighbors said if it's not broke, don't fix it. I agree with this but for one exception. A 16-year-old car needs more maintenance and is less dependable than a new one. If a new model can be had for less money, it makes sense to replace it. When we as taxpayers have to pay for things such as armored cars or high-end automobiles for the top ech- elon of any department, we are not really more safe, we are just paying more for less deputies on the ground. My friend Winn Webb walked the streets under three different sheriffs with a total of 17 1/2 years without a verbal or written reprimand. His winning way and pleasant personal- ity won the hearts of many of the people he came in contact with. He knew he worked for the people and was under the management of the sheriff. The sheriff works for the people, too, and must be diligent with their money Winn Webb was enticed by his friends to run for county commissioner so a conservative voice would bring spending under con- trol. Within the four years Winn served on the BOCC, the cost of government was reduced almost $50 million. Some say he did not do it alone, and this would be true, because he worked with the like-minded to reach a goal. Winn would work with the team he puts together to find ways to bring costs under control. Well-trained deputies know where the waste is.

Egyptian standoff comes to end CAIRO Egypt's top Reached an agreement egui with the ahmoud country's president to keep his job Saturday despite ear- Abdel- lier at- Meguld tempts to Mahmoudown last him, ending a standoff that had prompted accusations of interference in judicial affairs. President Mohammed Morsi had ordered Prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mah- moud to step down last Thursday in an apparent bid to appease public anger over the acquittals of ex-regime of- ficials accused of orchestrat- ing violence against protesters last year. Turkish premier slams Council ISTANBUL- Turkey's prime minister sharply criti- cized the U.N. Security Coun- cil on Saturday for its failure to agree on decisive steps to end Syria's civil war, as NATO ally Germany backed the Turkish interception of a Damascus-bound passenger jet earlier in the week. Recep Tayyip Erdogan told an international conference in Istanbul the world was wit- nessing a humanitarian tragedy in Syria. Russia and China, two of the five permanent Security Council members, have ve- toed resolutions seeking to put concerted pressure on Dam- ascus to end the conflict and agree to a political transition. Bomb kills 17 people in Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A car bomb tore through a crowded bazaar outside an office for anti-Taliban tribal elders Saturday in northwest- ern Pakistan, killing at least 17 people, officials said. The blast in the town of Darra Adam Khel was the lat- est to strike the troubled area near the Afghan border, show- ing militants still pose a threat to the stability of key U.S. ally Pakistan despite government offensives against the Taliban and their supporters. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have staged similar attacks in the tribal re- gion of Darra Adam Khel to punish elders for backing se- curity forces in offensives against militants. Iran: Ready for nuclear flexibility TEHRAN, Iran Iran is ready to show flexibility at nu- clear talks to ease Western concerns over its contentious nuclear program, its foreign ministry spokesman said Sat- urday, as tensions rise in the standoff between the Islamic Republic, Israel and the West. The remarks by Ramin Mehmanparast, published by the official IRNA news agency, underscore Tehran's push to resume talks with world powers as Western sanctions squeeze the econ- omy tighter and the European Union weighs a boycott of Iranian natural gas. -From wire reports Race tightens as second debate nears Nov. 6 election only three weeks away Associated Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. It's either candidate's race to win as President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepare for their second debate Tuesday night, with three weeks to go until the election and voting under way in many states. The Republican challenger had trailed the Democratic incumbent in national polls for weeks, but now has drawn even, benefiting from a boost of enthusiasm following a strong first debate performance 10 days ago. While Romney's standing has improved in some states, Obama retains an edge in the hunt for the 270 electoral votes needed to take the White House. The presi- dent also has far more ways than Romney to reach Barak that magic number Obama But that's not enough to calm nervous Democrats, even as they revel in Vice President Joe Biden's pull-no-punches turn on the debate stage Thursday night against GOP vice presidential nom- inee Paul Ryan. They are looking for an equally aggressive Obama to show up for the prime-time town- hall style debate in Hempstead, N.Y "The race is tightening," said Mo Elleithee, a Democratic campaign strategist and former aide to Hillary Rod- ham Clinton during t her primary cam- paign against Obama in 2008. "It will be very, very close." But, he added, "The pres- Mitt ident will win re- Romney election." Steve Schmidt, the chief Republican strategist four years ago for GOP nominee John Mc- Cain, acknowledged Obama's edge but said it could be erased if the president comes off as defensive or dismissive in the second debate as he did in the first "If he has another debate per- formance anywhere near that vicin- ity, it's going to go south for him," Schmidt said.

Returning vets swell ranks of US entrepreneurs Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. -As a truck driver for the U.S. military in wartime Iraq, Ed Young racked up 7,000 miles, facing a constant threat of attack that left him struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Four years later, he is driving long hauls again, but now in the U.S. as one of a growing number of veter- ans turning entrepreneur The Navy veteran who had seen his post-war life spiraling out of control said his Connecticut-based car transporta- tion business has helped put him on the road to recovery Young received training to run his enterprise through a program for disabled veterans at the Univer- sity of Connecticut, one of many ef- forts emerging nationwide to help returning service members start small businesses. "The biggest thing I got out of it was, no matter what, don't give up on your idea," said Young, 26. "Ba- sically it's like in the military Just accomplish the mission. That is your job, to accomplish your mis- sion, no matter what." Marine Corps veteran Jared Luce of Coventry, Conn., right, is fitted with a new suit by assistant store manager Kathy Bartosiak. Army Reservist Tiffany Mellers of Bridgeport, Conn., right, poses for staff at a Brooks Brothers store while being fitted for a new suit as Air Force veteran Janette Blackmore of Maryland, left, watches. More than 200,000 people are dis- charged from the U.S. military each year, and advocates say they often possess qualities that make good en- trepreneurs: resourcefulness, a taste for risk-taking and a can-do at- titude. Nonprofit groups, state gov- ernments and U.S. agencies are providing business training aimed at giving them new purpose and eas- ing their transition to civilian life. Already, veterans are well- represented in the entrepreneurial ranks. Nearly one in 10 small busi- nesses are veteran-owned, and re- tired service members are at least 45 percent more likely than those without active-duty military experi- ence to be self-employed, according to the U.S. Small Business Adminis- tration. As troops return from Iraq and Afghanistan, some see an op- portunity not only to help them find work, but for veteran entrepreneurs to provide a jolt to the U.S. economy "We think this is an opportunity where we're going to have a lot of veterans who have the right skills to be entrepreneurs," said RhettJepp- son, associate administrator for vet- erans' business development at the SBA. "We can help prepare them for the opportunities out there." Unlike GIs who played a famed role in growing the U.S. economy after World War II, however, this gen- eration is returning to the worst eco- nomic slump since the depression. Young, who graduated last year from the Entrepreneurship Boot- camp for Veterans with Disabilities at UConn, had to apply to 10 banks before landing a $24,000 loan to buy a truck and start his business, Black Knight Services. After completing more than $75,000 in sales in the first six months of the year, he said he is looking to buy more trucks, but for now he operates out of his apart- ment in Milford, Conn., when not on the road. "It has its ups and downs, but I love it 100 percent," he said. "Un- fortunately, I really can't stand peo- ple that much. At least I'm just by myself and with my thoughts." It's been a dramatic turnaround for Young, who began drinking heavily after returning from Iraq in 2009. He hit bottom when he was ar- rested in 2010 for threatening to hurt his two young children. Last week's feisty confrontation between Biden and Ryan set the stage for Tuesday's presidential de- bate and gave Republicans an open- ing to intensify their criticism about Obama's foreign policy Romney has jumped on Biden's assertion "we weren't told" of an official request for more security at a consulate in Libya that was attacked by terrorists who killed the U.S. ambassador The White House spent Friday trying to explain what Biden meant. Expect the issue to arise Tuesday As the debate looms large as one of the final opportunities to affect the trajectory of the race, both cam- paigns are working feverishly in the nine most competitive states Col- orado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. Muslim leader sparks criticism Brotherhood's statements condemned Associated Press CAIRO A fiery tirade against Jews by the Egypt- ian Muslim Brotherhood's leader highlights one of the foremost diplomatic challenges facing the country's new Islamist President Mohammed as he balances popular sentiment with the need for security relations with Israel. Mohammed T h e Badie Brother- said Jews were h o o d' s spreading supreme corruption. leader Mohammed Badie called on Muslims worldwide this week to defend Jerusalem, saying "Zion- ists only know the way of force." He said Jews were spreading "corruption," had slaughtered Muslims and desecrated holy sites. Badie's condemnation went well beyond the harsh criticism of Israel and its policies common in Egypt, opening even greater friction between the country's most power- ful political group and its Jewish neighbor And it will put more pressure on Morsi, who ran for presi- dent as a Brotherhood candidate, to take a more assertive role than his predecessor had in the Is- raeli-Palestinian conflict. Morsi made no public comments about Badie's remarks, the strongest criticism against Israel since Morsi took office in June. His spokesman, Yasser Ali, did not imme- diately respond to phone calls seeking comment. Eli Shaked, a former Is- raeli ambassador to Egypt, said the Brotherhood's statement was aimed at de- flecting attention from Morsi's troubles in his first 100 days in office, from fuel shortages to mounting piles of garbage on the streets. "Every time there is do- mestic tension in the new Egypt, Israel and the Jews will be targeted and every time the Egyptian street is tense or protests, the Mus- lim Brotherhood will bring the anti-Semitic genie out of the bottle," he said Saturday Israel has increasingly become worried about the ascendance of the for- merly repressed Brother- hood to power after last year's ouster of Hosni Mubarak, who was often pictured warmly greeting Israeli officials in Cairo.

Gut-busting food, bacon-flavored lemonade, baboons What more could you want in a fa CHUCK BARTELS Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Fried Kool-Aid on a stick, livestock shows, carnival games and a troupe of performing baboons await patrons of the Arkansas State Fair, organizers said of the annual event, which opened Friday. For the first time in more than a decade, the Lit- tle Rock fairgrounds will feature a roller coaster among its spinning and twisting rides sure to be a challenge to keep all that fair food from reap- pearing. Who would want to lose a roast beef sundae? Fair director Ralph Shoptaw said one culinary innovation offered this year is Oreos, funnel cakes and Kool-Aid, all deep-fried and on a stick. But fear not, unadventurous eaters: "We have the traditional stuff, too corn dogs and pineapple whip ice cream," Shoptaw said. More than 400,000 people are expected to attend the fair during its run through Oct. 21. The fair opens daily at 11 a.m. Jim Youker of Raleigh, N.C., will sell quart tum- blers of regular and flavored lemonade, including bacon, a recipe he said took a while to perfect. Youker said he tried infusing simple syrup with his own bacon flavoring but the quality was incon- sistent. Youker somehow found a commercial sup- plier of the flavoring, and the drink was born.

Food and fast-moving rides aren't the only attrac- tions. The baboon act, Wild About Monkeys, will have three shows daily, alternating with pig races and Welde's Big Bear Show, which features per- forming grizzly bears. Shoptaw said there are about 7,000 animals en- tered in an array of blue-ribbon competitions with between 3,500 and 4,000 exhibitors. In the barns, patrons can find cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, rabbits, chickens and goats. There are also about 4,000 entries in the arts and crafts divisions. Fair admission includes nightly entertainment that ranges from country performers to a Pink Floyd tribute band and classic rock acts. Daily ad- mission is $8 for adults, $4 for children; ride coupons cost extra. Tickets for professional bull riding at Barton Coliseum on Oct. 19 and 20 start at $10. The fair also has two museums, one devoted to the fair itself and one on rock 'n' roll music, which features memorabilia from acts from years past. Shoptaw said state police and Little Rock police will provide security on the grounds, with Pulaski County Sheriff's deputies patrolling on horseback. New this year, 34 Little Rock police officers will be on foot patrol in the neighborhoods around the fairgrounds, as residents have complained about car break-ins and other crime in the past. Fair organizers had sought to move to new grounds, scoping out sites near Jacksonville and Cabot. But in June, they accepted a $3 million offer from Little Rock to keep the fair on about 100 acres in the central part of the city, where the fair has operated since the 1940s. Under the new plan, the grounds could double in size and add parking in the years ahead.

Mother Mother |Mother Mother |Mother News Replay 30 Rock 30 Rock Dear Annie: My hus- band, "Chuck," and my best friend, "Loma," partnered to pur- chase and remodel old houses for rental. At first, it worked well. Chuck did the physical work, and Loma did the aesthetic stuff. But they had too many clashes and de- cided to call it quits. Chuck sug- gested they split the four proper- ties evenly He thought Loma had agreed, but she ap- parently changed her mind. She has completely dis- counted all the hard work he put into the houses and is being totally unreasonable. ANI Chuck thinks she AN wants to take him MAlL for everything. Chuck suggested different ways to split up the proper- ties and has asked Lorna what, exactly, she wants, but she ignores him. Lorna is fo- cused only on the money, with no thought to our friend- ship. She is not struggling fi- nancially She and her husband are very well off. I never would have dreamed she would be so ruthless. I feel betrayed by her determi- nation to get every penny, yet she still expects us to be friends. They finally agreed to see a mediator, which will cost us a ton of money when all they needed to do was talk it out reasonably But I'm de- pressed and physically ill over Lorna's need to control this. We've been friends for 30 years. Now I don't know this person and want nothing to do with her How do I deal with this?

Part of why it hurts so much is that you feel she doesn't value your friendship as much as you thought. A me- diator will help resolve the business side of this mess, so let your husband handle that. But you will have to tell Loma that the friendship has suffered too much to recover Dear Annie: I had to respond to "Fbeling Unloved in Kansas," whose parents are paying for his ,1 sister to attend lIE'S graduate school, BOX but not him. This happened to me. My brother didn't want to continue his education, but my parents allowed him to make lavish purchases with investments our grandfather had set up for us. When I graduated, I was informed that my investments were needed to pay back my stu- dent loans. I was upset and knew that going to graduate school would be impossible with so much debt But I don't think my parents love my brother more. It was just hor- rible timing and a bad economy My solution was to find a job at a university I am scheduled to graduate in May with no additional loans. It is difficult working full time and taking night classes, but it feels great knowing it hasn't cost me anything and that I am not a burden on my retired parents.

Be- sides some intense negotiations with the utility companies to keep your home lit and safe, you'd need food. Living in Florida, I'm sure you've done your best to have extra food included in your hurricane safety kit, but, what if you don't? What hap- pens after that food is gone and you have no way of getting more? What if you've already been liv- ing from pay- check to not-quite-the- Barbara next paycheck? Barbara Non-veterans VETER may or may not VIE% find themselves eligible for the Florida Ac- cess program that distrib- utes funds for food assistance. In addition, there are no less than 28 food programs in the Citrus County region, hosted by a wide variety of churches and including the Salvation Army (at Walmart parking lot on Nov. 17 by the Thanksgiving Feeding Al- liance), Daystar Life Center and We Care, where Thanksgiving dinner pack- ages are available again this year.

Paul Drive, In- WS verness. Veterans must show their military ID, DD- 214, or other positive iden- tification that proves their military affiliation. The shelves are lined with canned and dry goods, and the freezers often feature meats and poultry. Pantry staff members are hard at work making sure the stock is fresh and rotated. Food for the CCVC Food Pantry is obtained prima- rily from donations. Cash is happily accepted and placed directly into the Food Pantry fund. Food do- nations are even better for Post 70 in Inverness at the in- tersection of Independence Highway and U.S. 41 North. All Marines are welcome.

Recently, the CCVC Food Pantry added dry dog and cat food to the inventory, helping the furry members of our military families. Everyone needs a little help now and then, and be- lieve me in these times, if you're in need, you're also in some very good company The groceries at the CCVC Food Pantry are safe, fresh and clean. As a matter of fact, I've been asked to pass on a message to all of the wonderful, generous peo- ple who have (and will) bring us these valuable items. The CCVC wishes to ex- press heartfelt thanks to all who have participated in the donation of Food Pantry items. The weary smiles of those you have helped when perhaps no help seemed possible, would melt your heart.

No one will overlook Jeff Driskel again, not after the Florida quarterback ran the ball better than even Tim Tebow. Driskel ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and the fourth-ranked Gators beat Van- derbilt 31-17 on Saturday night to stay undefeated going into their big showdown with No. 3 South Carolina. Driskel ran only 11 times, and the sophomore set the Florida record for yards rushing by a quarterback, topping Tebow's 166 yards against Missis- cool sippi in 2007 on 27 carries. Vanderbilt watched Gators run- ning back Mike Gillislee so closely that Driskel didn't even think the Commodores laid a hand on him on any of his TD runs. "We kept running really the same play, and they didn't really make adjustments," Driskel said. "So we kept going to it. If some- thing's working, keep going to it" The Gators (6-0, 5-0 SEC) fin- ished off their last SEC road trip outside of the state of Florida with their 22nd straight win over Vanderbilt Florida, which rallied in the second half to beat Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU al- run Lecanto girls nip CR by point at Inverness Invite LARRY BUGG Correspondent INVERNESS Was it home- field advantage or did Alyssa Weber simply want to beat Clarissa Consol? Whatever the reason, the Cit- rus High sophomore couldn't catch Belleview's Catherine Blaney, but managed to keep Consol behind her Saturday morning at the 2012 Whisper- ing Pines Invitational cross country meet. Running on her home course, Weber had an even 20 minutes time to take second in the girls' race. Consol, a Crystal River High senior but in her first year of cross country, was fourth with a 20:06. Lecanto High senior Chloe Benoist was fifth with a 20:18. Weber was the 2011 Chroni- cle Female Cross Country Run- ner of the Year but finished behind Consol at Beat the Sheriff and the Oct. 6 Gator Invitational. Whispering Pines offers a true cross country course with hills, shade trees and roots. Those hills and roots are prac- tically Facebook friends to Weber, but were uncharted ter- ritory to Consol. "It was awesome," said Weber, gasping for air "It was good. Blaney pulled away at the mile. It was down to Clarissa and me close to the chute." "Alyssa is strong in practice," said Citrus coach Michelle Kiddy "She has that goal of going to state. It is her home course.

The Gators scored 21 straight points, including 11 in the second quarter where they took the lead for good. Florida ran for 326 of its 403 yards even with three starting linemen out with injuries. Center Jonatthan Harrison, left guard James Wilson and left tackle Xavier Nixon didn't play, and the Gators had some receiver Latroy Pittman, linebacker Michael Tay- lor and tight end Jordan Reed in- jured during the game. "We're a little bit of a M.A.S.H unit on the offensive line," Florida coach Will Muschamp said. "So I was really proud of those guys, as many looks as Van- derbilt gave us, in being able to rush for 300 and something yards. See Page B4 No letdown for 'Noles No. 12 FSU blasts B.C. Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Criti- cized for conservative play calling after blowing a 16-point lead last week, Florida State went to the air from the get-go Saturday and didn't let up. EJ Manuel threw for a ca- reer-high 439 yards and four touchdowns and kicker Dustin Hopkins became the Atlantic Coast Conference's career scoring leader as the 12th-ranked Seminoles re- bounded from their first loss of the season with a 51-7 vic- tory over Boston College. Manuel, who completed 27 of 34 passes before leaving early in the fourth quarter with a 48-7 lead, had little to say afterward, though he was quite happy "I was ready to go," Manuel said. "We made sure every- body came back with a punch." Florida State (6-1, 3-1 ACC) didn't waste any time shaking off last week's 17-16 loss at North Carolina State, rolling to a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter before Boston College (1-5, 0-3) scored its touchdown on Chase Rettig's 18-yard pass to Bobby Swigert.

"It helps that me and Chloe Lane came out and practiced it," said Consol. "The hills were a problem." In the team race, the Lecanto girls beat Crystal River by one point, 59-60, to take the girls title. "The girls had an excel- lent race," said Lecanto boys coach Roselle Lattin, who took care of the girls because Dan Epstein was away "All had personal records. The shade really helped them." The Crystal River coach liked what she saw "They had a good show- ing today," said Crystal River coach Lisa Carter. "I'm happy with the way they performed. She (Con- sol) had a good run. It was a tough course for her She worked her heart out. Chloe Lane was ninth (21:11). Chloe Lane, Alexis Ulseth (19th, 22:49) and Elizabeth Bruty (13th, 21:58) did great. They dropped a minute off their time. That's impressive. I'm happy with them." Crystal River's Brandon Harris took third (17:33) in the boys race with Lecanto's Sam Alford (17:52) not far behind in fourth place. Belleview's Boston Fitz- patrick won (17:21). "There were a lot of roots and stuff," said Harris. "They were well-marked. It was a pretty fair race. I think I could have done better It was pretty good. I didn't have it in me. I like running in the woods." Belleview won the boys team title (37 points). Crystal River was second (89) and Lecanto's very improved boys were third (98 points). Citrus was sixth (160). "I think (we)) ran excel- lent," Lattin said. "I believe the top five all had PRs (personal records). We fin- ished very well as a pack. I think we ran a real good race. I feel really good about today" "It was close," said Crys- tal River coach Tim Byrne. "They pretty much all had their personal bests. Harris ran well. Corey (Pollard) ran well. I still think he has a little more in him. The lit- tle Bass (AJ, 30th, 19:05) boy ran well. Pedro (Lopez, 26th, 18:58) ran well." Citrus's Cameron Grant was sixth (18:08). "Cameron Grant was right at 18," said Citrus boys coach James Martone. "This is his home course. I'm very happy with their results. We are right where we want to be. We are in a good position for the county meet on Tuesday. The City of Inverness Parks and Recreation have helped me all week long.

Cycling legend dragged through mud Scandalhurts Armstrong but doesn 't destroy image Associated Press It's not so much that the Lance Arm- strong story was too good to be true. Now it might just be too good to let go. Even after investigators unveiled a scathing report portraying him as an unrepentant drug cheat, Armstrong continues to confound his public with rivaling images: a rapacious, win-at- all-costs athlete or a hero who came back from cancer. We've all heard his story before: An up-and-coming cyclist gets stricken with testicular cancer at age 25. He's given less than a 50 percent chance of surviving. Instead, he fights it off and comes back stronger He wins the Tour de France seven times. Hobnobs with presidents. Dates a rock star and pretty much becomes one himself. Uses his fame and success to raise mil- lions to promote cancer awareness. Even if it all really is the impossi- ble fairy tale it sounds like one built on a brittle mountain of drugs, deception and arm-twisting- it's the narrative the world has happily listened to for nearly 15 years. More than 1,000 pages of finely de- tailed evidence from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency are now in the open, supporting its Lance decision to ban Arm- Armstrong strong for life from cy- cyclist's image cling and order his not destroyed. titles stripped for using performance- enhancing drugs. Yet while other sports stars who have faced drug-in- duced downfalls Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens fade from memory or become objects of scorn, Armstrong keeps rolling along. You can see it in social media. Sure, negative comments dot the landscape -people have put an "X" through the "v" on their Livestrong wristbands to make it read "Lie strong." But the tributes also keep coming: a few dozen new posts on a Facebook page titled "Lance Armstrong Supporters," either vilify USADA or tell Armstrong they've got his back. You can see it from the sponsors - Nike is one example that are stick- ing with Armstrong. You can see it in the donations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which have spiked since August, when Armstrong announced he wouldn't fight the doping charges. And it also shows in the way Arm- strong steadfastly goes about his busi- ness. On Thursday, the day after the USADA report came out, he was at his foundation headquarters in Austin, Texas, looking for a place to hang a picture. On Friday, he linked to his Twitter account a shiny new slide show touting the top 15 things his foundation has accomplished since it was founded, 15 years ago this month. Star-studded anniversary celebra- tions are in the works. Frys.com Open Saturday At CordeValle Golf Club, San Martin, Calif.

T-3:49. A-45,966 (41,487). Associated Press WASHINGTON Doesn't mat- ter how bad things look for the St. Louis Cardinals. Trailing by a bunch, down to their last strike, they simply stay calm and do what it takes to win. Erasing an early six-run hole in Game 5 slowly but surely, the de- fending World Series champion Cardinals got a tying two-out, two- run single from Daniel Descalso and a go-ahead two-run single from Pete Kozma in the ninth in- ning and came all the way back to beat the Washington Nationals 9-7 Friday night and win their NL di- vision series. It was the largest comeback ever in a winner-take-all postseason game, according to STATS LLC. No other club in this sort of ultimate pressure situation had come back from more than four down. First-year manager Mike Math- eny and the wild-card Cardinals, the last team to clinch a playoff spot this year, will open the NL championship series at San Fran- cisco on Sunday Down 7-5 with two outs in the ninth against Nationals closer Drew Storen, the Cardinals twice were a strike away from losing. But Storen walked both of those bat- ters, Yadier Molina and David Freese, setting the stage for the un- heralded Descalso and Kozma - Nationals manager Davey Johnson even called the rookie "Cosmos" before Game 4 to come through. Associated Press St. Louis Cardinals batter Daniel Descalso singles Friday in the ninth inning of Game 5 of the National League division baseball series against the Washington Nationals in Washington. The hit tied the game in the ninth inning and set the stage for the Cardinals' 9-7 victory. When Cardinals closer Jason Motte got Ryan Zimmerman to pop out to second base a half-hour past midnight, the Cardinals streamed from the visiting dugout for a rather muted celebration, all in all. This was nothing new to them. Over the past two years, St. Louis is 6-0 when facing elimination, in- cluding victories in Games 6 and 7 of the 2011 World Series against Texas. Down to their last strike in the Fall Classic a year ago, trailing by the exact same 7-5 score, the Car- dinals rallied in Game 6 and then took the championship in what turned out to be the final year with the club for slugging first baseman Albert Pujols and then-manager Tony La Russa. Now Matheny, who got the Cardinals into the playoffs as the second NL wild-card team on the next-to-last day of the regu- lar season, has them back in the NLCS. And to think: Washington, which won the NL East and led the ma- jors with 98 wins, got off to as good a start as possible Friday Seven pitches, three runs. Just like that, Jayson Werth's double, Bryce Harper's triple and Zimmer- man's homer got the hosts jump- started in their first Game 5. That opening outburst, plus a big third inning highlighted by the 19-year-old Harper's homer, made it 6-0. St. Louis was not about to go gently into the night, though. The Cardinals chipped away, chipped away. One run off 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez in the fourth, a pair in the fifth, another in the seventh off Edwin Jackson the Game 3 starter and loser, and an all- around surprising choice for midgame relief. Suddenly, it was 6-4. Descalso's homer made it 6-5 in the eighth. And a four-run ninth completed the reversal. In Game 6 of last year's World Se- ries, the Cardinals twice were one strike from losing, before Freese's two-run triple in the ninth, then Lance Berkman's tying RBI single in the 10th. Freese's homer won it in the 11th, and St. Louis went on to a 6-2 victory in Game 7. Here they were, doing it again. All in front of a Nationals Park- record crowd of 45,966 witnessing the first postseason series in the nation's capital in 79 years.

Clint Bowyer picked up his first win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Saturday night, winning a fuel mileage race that ended in disaster for points leader Brad Keselowski. Keselowski dominated Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway but ran out of gas with 58 laps remaining to blow his chance at the vic- tory He fell a lap down and finished 11th, and had his lead in the standings sliced in half over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson. Keselowski, who has a seven-point lead over John- son at the halfway point of the 10-race Chase, immedi- ately gave his Penske Racing team a pep talk over the radio. "Win some lose some guys, it's all good," he told them. Keselowski, who also ran out of gas Friday night in the Nationwide Series race be- cause of a fueling error, then asked his crew if he led the most laps Saturday night In- deed -he led 139 of the 334 - but had little to show for his effort "It's blackjack, you're not going to win every hand," he said. "When you got a bad deal you have to try not to have too many chips on the table." But Keselowski was able to see a silver lining in still fin- ishing 11th. "It was the worst-case sce- nario," he said. "We mini- mized the damage as best we could." Ibanez's Yankee heroics Associated Press New York Yankees hitter Raul Ibanez slugged a two-run home run off Detroit Tigers pitcher Jose Valverde on Saturday in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the American League champi- onship series in New York. The Yankees started the bottom of the ninth down 4-0 and Ibanez's hit tied the game at 44. The game was still tied at that score at press time. Please see Monday's Chronicle for the result. GATORS Continued from Page B1 ... It says a lot about our guys stepping up and manning up."' Vanderbilt (2-4, 1-3) now has lost 47 straight against Top Five teams in front of its first sellout crowd since Florida's visit in 2008. "We did not adjust well to the quarterback running game," Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said. "That's on me. It will get fixed." The Gators also had three sacks, forced a turnover, blocked a field goal and used a fake punt to put away Van- derbilt Caleb Sturgis kicked three field goals. Florida did give up its first points in the fourth quarter this season as Zac Stacy scored on a 1-yard run with 8:57 left, pulling the Com- modores within 21-14. Carey Spear's second field goal, a 22-yarder, with 2:35 left to pull Vanderbilt within 24-17 after Stacy had a Rodgers' pass go through his hands on third-and-goal. Each time, the Gators an- swered in a big way First, Andre Debose returned the kickoff 60 yards as he bounced off a couple Com- FSU Continued from Page B1 "Some teams can't bounce back," said Florida State running back James Wilder Jr., who caught two of Manuel's scoring throws. "We just made sure we did- n't have that taste in our mouth anymore." "I thought our kids did a great job all week of putting that last game behind them," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "Not let- ting it drag on. We executed very well." And that was exactly what Boston College coach Frank Spaziani had feared coming into the game. "They got annoyed that they got a little conservative last week and they weren't about to do that," Spaziani said. "They were going to at- tack and they were in an at- tack mode right from the beginning." Manuel threw six straight passes on the opening 99- yard drive without once going to the run. He passed for 295 yards and three touchdowns in the first half alone. Boston College drove to the Florida State 1-yard line one on the opening modores to set up Sturgis' 26- yard field goal. The Com- modores had a short kick after pulling within 24-17, and Driskel went 70 yards on the next play for the sealing TD. "He did an awesome job," Florida receiver Solomon Patton said of Driskel. "With him being able to run like that, it opened up a lot, as far as the run game and passing game. Teams don't know if he is going to pass it or take off running." Florida showed the effects of a bit of an emotional let- down after a big win over LSU last week that even had Muschamp crowd-surfing in his locker room after that game. The Gators didn't cross midfield until early in the second quarter and helped Vanderbilt out repeatedly with 10 penalties for 80 yards. Vanderbilt used an inter- ference penalty on a punt to take its only lead at 7-0 in the first quarter Jordan Rodgers threw a 10-yard TD pass to Jordan Matthews in the back of the right corner Driskel capped a 91-yard drive when he faked a hand- off to Mike Gillislee so well that the Florida quarterback ran back to his left and up the sideline untouched 37 yards for a touchdown. Trey Burton drive of the game, but couldn't score, stopped twice only inches from the goal line. "I don't know if that's going to be a difference in the game, but it certainly sets a little different tone," Spaziani said. It didn't take the Semi- noles long to get to the other end. Kenny Shaw raced 77 yards with a Manuel pass to cap Florida State's drive. Shaw caught the pass near midfield and outran two BC defenders down the left sideline for the touchdown. He had two catches for 125 yards and teammate Rod- ney Smith had nine recep- tions for 108 yards and has now caught at least one pass in 32 straight games. Kelvin Benjamin also caught a scoring pass and Lonnie Pryor had two touchdowns on short runs. Florida State added 201 yards rushing. Devonta Freeman had 70 and Chris Thompson ran for 68. Hopkins passed the pre- vious league scoring record of 393 points with a 51-yard field goal that gave the Seminoles a 31-7 halftime lead. "I didn't know until after it happened," Hopkins said. "I'm just humbled by the then took a direct snap and ran in for 2-point conversion and an 8-7 lead with 11:27 left in the second. Florida led 11-7 at halftime even after failing to convert after getting first-and-goal at the Vanderbilt 2 before set- tling for a Sturgis field goal. Vanderbilt had its chances, especially on the opening drive of the third quarter. Stacy took a direct snap in the wildcat and went up the middle 57 yards to the end zone. Matthews was flagged for holding as he grabbed the shoulder of a Gators de- fender, wiping out the TD. They still drove to the Florida 7 before a false start, then Rodgers was sacked by Josh Evans. Earl Okine blocked Spear's 44-yard field goal attempt and Loucheiz Purifoy recovered, finally getting Florida the ball for the first time in the half with 6:17 left in the third. The Commodores forced Florida to punt three plays later, but the Gators caught Vanderbilt with a fake punt. Patton ran up the left side- line 54 yards to the Com- modores 3. A hold wiped out a touchdown, then the Com- modores bit again on Driskel's fake handoff as he ran 13 yards untouched for his second TD late in the third. whole thing." Hopkins boosted his ca- reer total to 402 points and now stands fifth on the NCAA scoring list. He also erased a pair of Florida State career marks that stood for 25 years, both pre- viously held by Derrick Schmidt. Hopkins' 75 field goals are five shy of the ACC mark held by former Mary- land kicker Nick Novak, who was the league's previ- ous scoring leader. Rettig, who came into the game averaging 306.2 yards passing, managed 122 against the ACC's top de- fense. "It wasn't what we wanted, but we were just trying to stay in it," Rettig said. "They made plays and we didn't make enough." Andre Williams ran for 104 yards on 20 carries for the Eagles, who are at Geor- gia Tech next Saturday Florida State visits long- time nemesis Miami next weekend. And the Seminoles play- ers have no plans to take the Hurricanes the least bit lightly "You're always seven days away from being hum- bled," Florida State's Lamarcus Joyner said. "Each game is going to be a one game season."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 B5 Heels muddle past 'Canes North Carolina holds on to beat Miami 18-14 Associated Press MIAMI Giovani Bernard ran for two touchdowns and North Car- olina survived a slew of penalties to beat Miami 18-14 Saturday, handing the Hurricanes their first Atlantic Coast Conference loss. Bernard scored on runs of 10 and 17 yards for the Tar Heels (5-2, 2-1). It was the fourth straight win for North Carolina, which was penal- ized 15 times. Mike James and Stephen Morris each had touchdown runs for Miami (4-3, 3-1), which may have lost more than a game. Morris, Miami's quarterback, was helped off the field with 8:26 remaining after apparently hurting his left ankle. He had a large icepack strapped to the ankle shortly after- ward and did not return. Backup Ryan Williams was called in and threw an incompletion on fourth-and-6 from the North Car- olina 26 with 5:45 left. North Car- olina took nearly four minutes off the clock before punting to Miami with 1:47 left, then held on from there. With Williams running the show - after Morris' ankle was wrapped in a boot and he left the game the Hurricanes got to the North Car- olina 29 with just under a minute left. But Miami gave up a sack to North Carolina's Tommy Heffernan with 38 seconds left, knocking the Hurricanes back to the 35. Two plays later, Miami turned the ball over on downs and now four teams have one loss in the ACC Coastal race. For Bernard, who played his high Associated Press North Carolina's Giovani Bernard outruns Miami's Paul Kelly during the first half Saturday in Miami. school football at nearby St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Laud- erdale, it was a long-awaited home- coming- and he didn't disappoint. His second touchdown came with 2:57 left in the first half, the second in a pair of brilliant plays by the Tar Heels. Bernard got loose to catch a 17-yard pass from Bryn Renner on fourth-and-6 from the Miami 33, a play where the Hurri- canes nearly had a stop and one that left defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio punching the air in disappointment. His mood soured even worse just seconds later when Bernard quickly went in from 17 yards out, sending the Tar Heels into the half with a 15-7 lead. North Carolina got a two-point conversion after that score, catching the Miami defense off-guard with a quick snap. The first omen of trouble for Miami came on its first drive. The Hurricanes kept the offense on the field for a fourth-and-1 at the North Carolina 46, only to have left tackle Malcolm Bunche jump offsides. And on Miami's next possession, a pass by Morris bounced off James' hand, caromed into the air and was picked off at the North Carolina 20 by Shakeel Reshad. North Carolina cashed in only one of those mistakes Bernard went in from 10 yards out to cap the opening Tar Heels' drive: a seven- play, 61-yard waltz with nary any re- sistance from the Hurricanes. It stayed 7-0 until the midpoint of the second quarter, though easily could have been much worse. Ren- ner was picked off by Miami's Eddie Johnson near the goal line on one possession, and Casey Barth missed a 33-yard field goal into a swirling wind with 10:53 left in the half. A roughing-the-kicker penalty on a Miami punt gave the Hurri- canes a break, and James plowed in from a yard out to tie the game at 7-all with 5:21 remaining. Morris scored from 5 yards out with 5:06 left in the third to end a 12-play, 94-yard drive and get the Hurricanes within 15-14 a se- quence where Miami apparently wanted to try going for a two-point conversion as well. But officials flagged the Hurricanes for snap- ping the ball too quickly, and Miami settled for just an extra point. Stars and numbers from Saturday action Associated Press STARS Seth Doege, Texas Tech, passed for six TDs and a career- high 499 yards in the Red Raiders' 49-14 upset of No. 5 West Virginia. Montee Ball, Wisconsin, ran for a career-high 247 yards and three TDs to help the Badgers beat Pur- due 38-14. He is now is alone in third place in NCAA history with 72 career TDs.

IRISH REVENGE Notre Dame knew what was com- ing. Stanford doesn't get cute inches from the goal line. And after three years of getting pushed around by the Cardinal, the Fighting Irish pushed back, win- ning the most important shoving match they've had all season. Or did they? A wall of Notre Dame defenders stopped Stepfan Taylor inches from the goal line on fourth down in overtime and the seventh-ranked Irish remained unbeaten with a 20- 13 victory against the No. 17 Cardi- nal on a soggy day in South Bend. Taylor kept reaching and turning with bodies underneath him, and his knee never did hit the ground before reaching the ball across the goal line. But the officials ruled it was too late. The whistle had blown, and that meant the play was stopped. The celebration had to wait for a replay review. The call stood. Irish fans who weren't already on the field spilled out of the stands, and Notre Dame's national title hopes remained alive. The Irish are 6-0 for the first time since 2002. KLIaS SEIZURES RETURN Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill's seizure problems returned Saturday, hospitalizing the coach shortly after he gave his postgame press conference following a 21-13 loss to Northwestern. Kill met with the media and an- swered questions for about 10 min- utes after the game, looking healthy and strong. But moments after re- turning to the locker room, school of- ficials said he had another seizure. The pros and cons of With the death a few days ago of Alex Karras, the Detroit Lions defensive tackle and media personality, I re- flected on the pros and cons of being an athlete. Karras had several ail- ments, including a diagnosis of de- mentia about seven years ago. Last April, 0 Karras joined in a lawsuit against -. the NFL brought "- by more than 3,000 former players who al- Dr. Ron leged the league DOCi knowingly failed DOCT to warn players ORD about long-term brain damage from concus- sive injuries. The long-term perils and complications of athletics and sports have been, until recently, difficult to predict With medicine and science today, long-term problems are more predictable. In high school alone dur- ing the 2009-10 season, there were 1,359,900 injured ath- letes with 3,698 different in- juries nationally. Not only do these injuries in- clude knee, hip and shoulder ail- ments, but also concussions. Concussions are one of the consequences of contact sports which can in- clude hockey, soc- Joseph cer and rugby But .... sports that are not EORS ERS supposed to be contact include head trauma such as baseball, mountain biking and downhill skiing. The injury of the day, es- pecially in football, is a con- cussion. The brain is made up of soft tissue and is cush- ioned by spinal fluid. With a very hard blow to the head, the brain suddenly moves inside the skull and bumps up against the skull's hard bony surface. When this happens with force, a concussion occurs. A concussion is the tem- porary change in brain func- tion as a result of suddenly being moved or jarred. It is viewed as a bruise to the brain. In reality, the cumula- tive effects can lead to a se- rious and permanent alteration in brain function. Concussions range from minor to major, but they share one common factor and that is the temporary in- terference with the way your brain works. This can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance and coordi- nation. But every concus- sion, no matter how mild, injures your brain.

Texas Tech's defense consis- tently stymied West Virginia's of- fense. Heisman Trophy hopeful Smith completed 29 of 55 passes for 275 yards, well off his season aver- ages of nearly 400 yards and and 81 percent completion rate. The Red Raiders offense had no trouble moving the ball as quarter- back Seth Doege threw TD passes of 39, 19, 16, 2, 29 and 7 yards. He completed 32 of 42 passes and the six touchdowns matched his ca- reer-high. Darrin Moore caught three touchdown passes. Earlier, Oklahoma clobbered Texas 63-21 to get a leg up in the Big 12 race, and only benefited from West Virginia being brought back to the pack. Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) is the only undefeated team left in the conference, but next Sat- urday faces what should be a moti- vated West Virginia team, followed the next week b by Texas Tech, which is also 2-1 in the league. No. 9 LSU 23, No. 3 South Carolina 21 BATON ROUGE, La. LSU fresh- man Jeremy Hill highlighted a breakout 124-yard, two-touchdown performance with a 50-yard scoring run, and the ninth-ranked Tigers handed No. 3 South Carolina its first loss of the sea- son, 23-21. LSU (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Confer- ence) substantially outgained South Carolina (6-1, 4-1) 406 yards to 211, but struggled to find the end zone. Three times, LSU settled for field goals after driving at least as far as the Gamecocks 5-yard line, and another drive to the South Carolina 15 stalled on a missed field goal. But Hill's long score with 5:03 left gave LSU a nine-point lead that proved a little too much to overcome. Connor Shaw drove South Carolina for a late TD on a short pass to Bruce Ellington with 1:41 left, and the Game- cocks got the ball once more with 35 seconds left, but LSU's defense held up. No. 1 Alabama 42, Missouri 10 ST. LOUIS Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon gave top-ranked Alabama a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game for the first time this season and the duo combined for five scores in a soggy, weather-delayed game. The defending national champion Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) led 21-0 late in the first quarter en route to their 10th straight victory, all by 19 or more points. They did just enough right after that to disappoint the few thousand fans who didn't leave for good during a 38- minute delay due to lightning with the Crimson Tide awaiting the extra-point kick for a 28-0 cushion after Yeldon's second scoring run with 8:40 to go in the half. Texas Tech 49, No. 5 West Virginia 14 LUBBOCK, Texas Seth Doege passed for six touchdowns and a sea- son-high 499 yards as Texas Tech shocked No. 5 West Virginia 49-14, ending the Mountaineers' hopes for an unbeaten season. The Red Raiders fans stormed the field after the win, the most lopsided Texas Tech victory ever over a team ranked in the top five. Texas Tech's defense consistently stymied West Virginia's offense. Heis- man Trophy hopeful Geno Smith com- pleted 29 of 55 passes for 275 yards. The Red Raiders offense had no trouble moving the ball as Doege threw TD passes of 39, 19, 16, 2, 29 and 7 yards. He completed 32 of 42 passes and the six touchdowns matched his career-high. Darrin Moore caught three touchdown passes. Texas Tech (5-1,2-1) had 18 plays of 15 yards or more, including a 61-yard pass to Jace Amaro and a 53-yard touchdown run by SaDale Foster. No. 6 Kansas State 27, Iowa State 21 AMES, Iowa Quarterback Collin Klein ran for 105 yards and three touch- downs to help K-State hold off the Cy- clones and beat them for the fifth straight time. Associated Press West Virginia's Tavon Austin is taken down by Texas Tech's Eugene Neboh, front, and Cody Davis on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. Unranked Texas Tech scored a 49-14 blowout over No. 5 West Virginia. Klein also threw for 187 yards for the Wildcats (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), who remain unbeaten heading into next week's showdown with West Virginia. Kansas State held the Cyclones (4-2, 1-2) to just 231 yards of offense. Iowa State still had a chance for the game- winning drive from its own 3-yard line with 2:17 left, but the Wildcats stopped the Cyclones on downs. The Wildcats held the ball for nearly 41 minutes and converted eight of 17 third downs. Jared Barnett threw for 166 yards and two TDs for Iowa State. No. 7 Notre Dame 20, No. 17 Stanford 13, OT SOUTH BEND, Ind. TJ Jones made a reaching 7-yard touchdown catch in overtime and No. 7 Notre Dame stopped Stanford inches from the goal line. After Jones and Tommy Rees gave the Fighting Irish (6-0) a seven-point lead in OT, Stanford (4-2) drove to a first-and-goal at the 4. Stepfan Taylor ran for 1 on first, 2 on second and inches on third down. That left one play from inside the 1 and the Notre Dame defense, led by Carlos Calabrese, stood up Taylor and pushed him back. Taylor kept reaching and turning, and ended up reaching the ball across the goal line, but the officials ruled it was too late. The play had been stopped. The celebration had to wait for a re- play review. It was close, but the call stood. The fans completed storming the field, and the national title hopes in South Bend remained alive. No. 10 Oregon State 42, BYU 24 PROVO, Utah Cody Vaz passed for 332 yards and three touchdowns in his first start since high school. Vaz was filling in for Sean Mannion, who is out indefinitely with a left knee injury. Oregon State is 5-0 for the first time since 1939. Markus Wheaton caught two first- quarter TD passes, and scored on a 12-yard reverse in the fourth, while cor- nerback Jordan Poyer returned an in- terception 49 yards to seal the victory against BYU (4-3). Vaz started 5 of 5 for 75 yards and finished 20 of 32 against BYU's fifth- rated defense. BYU quarterback Riley Nelson com- pleted 28 of 51 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted three times. Oregon State rolled up 450 yards of- fense. Brandin Cooks caught eight passes for 173 yards for the Beavers. No. 11 USC 24, Washington 14 SEATTLE Anthony Brown blocked a punt and returned it 21 yards for a touchdown in the first half, Jawanza Starling forced and recovered Keith Price's fumble inside the USC 5-yard line in the fourth quarter, and the No. 11 Trojans overcame offensive inconsis- tency for a 24-14 win over Washington. Silas Redd rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown in the first half and Matt Barkley added an 18-yard TD pass to Xavier Grimble as the Trojans contin- ued rebuilding their resume following last month's loss to Stanford that ap- peared to end their national champi- onship hopes. The Trojans (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12) were held scoreless in the second half and got needed help from a defense that sacked Price five times and forced four turnovers to give USC its third straight win. No. 13 Oklahoma 63, No. 15 Texas 21 DALLAS Damien Williams broke off a 95-yard touchdown run for the longest rush in Red River Rivalry his- tory, Blake Bell powered his way in for four TDs and Oklahoma got its second straight blowout of Texas. Landry Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and fullback Trey Millard had a career-best 119 yards re- ceiving as the Sooners (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) added another rout to Bob Stoops' im- pressive rivalry resume. Stoops is now 9-5 against Mack Brown and responsible for three of Ok- lahoma's five most lopsided wins over Texas and that doesn't include last year's 55-17 clobbering. The Longhorns (3-2, 1-2) couldn't get a stop and never got their offense going, then lost quarterback David Ash to an apparent left wrist injury in the fourth quarter. No. 18 Louisville 45, Pittsburgh 35 PITTSBURGH Senorise Perry rushed for 101 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Teddy Bridgewater passed for 304 yards for the Cardinals (6-0, 1-0 Big East), including a 75-yard score to De- vante Parker on the first play of the second half as Louisville continued its best start since 2006. Parker's score came in the middle of a 24-point burst by Louisville spanning the second and third quarters that turned a seven-point deficit into a 38-21 lead. Tino Sunseri passed for 287 yards and two touchdowns but Pitt (2-4, 0-3) couldn't complete a late rally. Trailing by 10 with 5 minutes to play, Pitt went for it on fourth down deep in Louisville territory rather than attempt a field goal. Sunseri's pass was off the mark and Perry finished off the Pan- thers with a 59-yard sprint down the left sideline. Louisville began the season as the overwhelming Big East favorite but some of the shine was stripped away by sluggish road wins at overmatched Florida International and Southern Mis- sissippi coupled with the impressive starts by No. 20 Rutgers and No. 21 Cincinnati. No. 20 Rutgers 23, Syracuse 15 PISCATAWAY, N.J. Duron Har- mon scooped up a blocked field goal attempt and ran 75 yard for a tie-break- ing touchdown early in the third quarter and Rutgers rode its defense and spe- cial teams to 6-0. Big East Conference defensive player of the year Khaseem Greene forced three fumbles and intercepted a pass as Rutgers (3-0) became bowl eli- gible for the seventh time in eight seasons. Jawan Jamison scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, Gary Nova threw a 12- yard touchdown to Tyler Kroft and walk- on placekicker Nick Borgese had a 25-yard field goal filling in for the injured Kyle Federico as the Scarlet Knights went 6-0 for only the third time since 1976. Adonis Ameen-Moore scored on a 3- yard run and Ryan Nassib threw a late 40-yard touchdown pass to Christopher Clark and a 2-point conversion pass to Marcus Sales pass for Syracuse (2-4, 1-1). No. 21 Cincinnati 49, Fordham 17 CINCINNATI Deven Drane scooted 76 yards for a touchdown after picking up a fumble and Munchie Legaux threw two TD passes including a 78-yarder to Travis Kelce to lead No. 21 Cincinnati past Fordham 49-17. The Bearcats (5-0) stayed perfect but the Rams (4-3), playing up a level from the Football Championship Subdi- vision, hung around for a half. The win was Cincinnati's 24th straight in non- conference games at Nippert Stadium and upped its overall winning streak to eight in a row. After a sloppy first two quarters, the Bearcats came alive on offense. Legaux, Ralph David Abernathy IV and Jordan Luallen scored on runs to start the third quarter and the rout was on. No. 24 Boise St. 20, Fresno St. 10 BOISE, Idaho D.J. Harper rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown and Joe Southwick threw for another score. Harper was the leader of a Boise State (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) rushing attack that chewed up 215 yards on the ground and propelled the Broncos to their fifth consecutive win and seventh straight over the Bulldogs. The Boise State defense also turned in another impressive performance. The Broncos held Fresno State (4-3, 2-1) scoreless in the first half, the fourth straight game the Broncos defense has held foes scoreless in the first two quar- ters. The defense also squelched a Bull- dog scoring drive in the opening minutes of the third quarter with an in- terception, forced a fumble on another possession late and held Robbie Rouse to 77 yards rushing on 25 carries. No. 25 Michigan 45, Illinois 0 ANN ARBOR, Mich. Denard Robinson threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores, brushing off an undisclosed injury as well as the Illini. The Wolverines (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten) got a scare when Robinson left the game late in the first quarter. He missed just one-plus possessions, though, and returned to score on a 6- yard run to put Michigan up 17-0 late in the first half. Robinson, who wouldn't elaborate on the injury after the game, ran for a 49- yard score giving him 10,000-plus career yards of offense on the Wolverines' first drive of the second half and tossed an 8-yard TD pass to Devin Funchess on their next possession to make it 31-0. The Fighting Illini (2-5, 0-3) lost their starting quarterback, Nathan Scheel- haase, because of an undisclosed in- jury in the second quarter.

Associated Press A year ago, Green Bay was the hunted, spotless for three months before finally losing, but winding up 15-1 for the season. Now, the Packers are struggling and have become the spoiler in Week 6 as they face unbeaten Houston. When the NFL scheduled this game for prime time, it hoped to have a team with a perfect record. That it's the Texans who are 5-0 for the first time in their history is a bit of a surprise. That Green Bay is 2-3 and can't find the dominant passing offense it rode to such a gaudy record a year ago was not in NBC's plans. Nor the Packers'. "Being 2-3 isn't where we ex- pected to be, but we finally get a regular week where we have some time," Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. "I know Houston's coming off a Monday night game so they'll have a short week. "Ultimately, you have to have a short memory in this game. We let one get away from us last week (at Indianapolis), but we still have all the pieces of the puzzle and look forward to hopefully getting a vic- tory this Sunday" Kansas City (1-4) at Tampa Bay (1-3) Here's a couple of clubs with high hopes entering 2012 that now are teetering. Kansas City turns to Brady Quinn, who replaces Matt Cassel after the QB was ruled out with a concussion sus- tained last week. The Chiefs have been their own worst enemies, leading the league in giveaways (19), fumbles lost (10), interceptions thrown (9) and at the bottom with a minus-15 turnover margin that is astoundingly inept for five games. The Buccaneers are vulnerable in the air, ranking 32nd against the pass and 29th trying to complete them. Oakland (1-3) at Atlanta (5-0) The Falcons would appear to have the easier road to 6-0, a record they haven't managed since, well, ever. Oakland comes off a bye, but was awful in a 37-6 loss at Denver before that. The Raiders have been outscored 72-19 on the road. This is a long trip, and Atlanta's plus-10 turnover margin leads the NFL. Atlanta is off next week, so a victory here would make for a sweet break. New York Giants (3-2) at San Francisco (4-1) A rematch of the NFC championship game in January the Giants survived in overtime before beating New England in the Super Bowl. The 49ers have up- graded their offense and are just as for- midable on defense, while the Giants haven't found the overpowering pass rush that catapulted them to the NFL title. This one could be won on the ground, where San Francisco ranks first in yards gained as Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter each are averaging 5.4 yards an attempt, and backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick is contributing in the wildcat. New York's Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 200 yards last Sunday to enliven the Giants' run game. But Cleveland's de- fense hardly resembles San Francisco's. Dallas (2-2) at Baltimore (4-1) The Ravens never have lost to the Associated Press Green Bay cornerback Casey Hayward and the Packers take on the undefeated Houston Texans today. Cowboys it's only three meetings - but they face a rested Dallas team coming off a bye with a bit of despera- tion. Dallas has been among the most erratic of NFL teams, plagued by turnovers and dropped passes on of- fense, and a mediocre run defense. All of those ills can be exploited by Baltimore, which also has been incon- sistent, yet still is winning, especially at home. The Ravens are after their 14th straight home victory in the regular sea- son, and under John Harbaugh, who got the job over current Dallas coach Jason Garrett, they are 8-0 in Baltimore against NFC opponents, Denver (2-3) at San Diego (3-2), Monday night San Diego is one of the few teams Peyton Manning has struggled against in his illustrious career, and now he's in the same division. The winner will lead the weak AFC West. The Chargers have won five of the last six matchups and twice knocked Indianapolis and Manning from the playoffs. "From a personal standpoint Peyton has always been a favorite of mine, back when I was in high school in Ala- bama," Chargers QB Philip Rivers said. "It's always special playing a Peyton Manning-led team. We're playing for a two-game lead in the division at the bye. If that doesn't get you fired up, nothing will." New England (3-2) at Seattle (3-2) New England's top-rated offense (in yards gained) faces Seattle's No. 1 de- fense in the same category, a rarity in the NFL. The last time this happened so late in the season was 2007, and it also involved the Patriots, who were setting all sorts of scoring and passing records. Now, the Pats are a force run- ning the ball with Stevan Ridley, who is fifth in the league with 490 yards and has scored four times. "A lot of people key on (Tom Brady) and our running back group has to get some pressure off him so he can be the quarterback he can be," Ridley said. "If they're sitting back there staring Brady in the face every play, we can't be a one-dimensional offense." Former Patriots coach Pete Carroll (before he became a championship winner at Southern Cal) has built one of the most physical defenses around and a victory over New England would en- hance the Seahawks' reputation. Minnesota (4-1) at Washington (2-3) The Vikings visit the nation's capital for the third straight year, and they won the previous two games in down sea- sons. Now, they appear to be on the rise, sparked by the rapid recovery of Adrian Peterson, who again is one of the league's top runners after tearing knee ligaments near the end of 2011. With Chicago idle, the Vikes would be alone in first place in the NFC North with a win. Washington expects to have rookie QB Robert Griffin III available after he sustained a concussion in last Sun- day's loss to Atlanta. The Redskins also have another rookie weapon on offense in running back Alfred Morris, averaging 4.9 yards a try for the league's No. 4 rushing attack. Detroit (1-3) at Philadelphia (3-2) Expectations that these would be two of the most dynamic NFL teams have fizzled, although the Eagles are in first place in the NFC East. Philly is damaging itself with sloppi- ness: 14 giveaways, including eight fumbles, and a minus-7 turnover differential. That has offset some solid defensive work. Quarterback Michael Vick has been the main contributor to the turnovers with 11. Buffalo (2-3) at Arizona (4-1) After a horrible performance in San Francisco, the Bills headed to the desert. No, they weren't being pun- ished, just prudent, avoiding thousands of miles in travel back and forth. "I had talked to a couple of teams who had done it like this before when you have back-to-back weeks on the (West) Coast," coach Chan Gailey said. "They said that they felt like the trip back-and-forth twice took a lot out of you as a football team trying to adjust to time and all of that. They'll face a well-rested Cardinals team that lost for the first time a week ago Thursday in St. Louis, but one with a severe hole in the backfield. Both starting running back Beanie Wells and backup Ryan Williams are out, although Wells could return around Thanksgiving. St. Louis (3-2) at Miami (2-3) What looked like a dog of a matchup when the schedule came out has a lot more interest as the Rams and Dolphins have been better than anticipated. Miami isn't far away from a 4-1 record, has the league's stingiest run defense and has been surprisingly efficient on of- fense behind rookie QB Ryan Tannehill and a revamped receiving corps. The Rams won two games a year ago, and new coach Jeff Fisher has them be- yond that already. Anyone wonder why Fisher had his choice of jobs when he de- cided to return to the league this year? Cincinnati (3-2) at Cleveland (0-5) The league's only winless team keeps games relatively close, but youthful mistakes do in the Browns every week. They've already lost at Cincinnati, 34-27 in Week 2. If this game is close in the final quar- ter, the Bengals are in excellent shape: Andy Dalton has the NFL's best quarter- back rating in the fourth period, 127.7. He's also 3-0 against Cleveland, but the Browns have this going for them: They lead the AFC with seven picks. Indianapolis (2-2) at New York Jets (2-3) Fresh off one of the more emotional games and wins in team history, the Colts head to the Meadowlands, where the Jets' found a little bit of fire last weekend, too. But they didn't win. Indianapolis rallied to upset Green Bay and paid tribute to ill coach Chuck Pagano afterward, dedicating the game and awarding the game ball to Pagano, who is battling leukemia. The way An- drew Luck and Reggie Wayne were connecting in that one, New York's sec- ondary, minus All-Pro cornerback Dar- relle Revis, is in for a difficult test.

The fifth-year pro said in a state- ment released by the team he took an Adderall pill without a prescription "around the beginning of training camp." He will not appeal the ban, which begins Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Talib was the 20th overall pick in the 2008 draft and is one of the team's top defenders with 18 career inter- ceptions. He also will miss games against New Orleans, Minnesota and Oakland, becoming eligible to return to the active roster on Nov 5, the day after Tampa Bay faces the Raiders. "I have spoken with Aqib, and he knows that he made a poor decision that let our team down," Bucs first- year coach Greg Schiano said. "Cer- tainly, other players will have the opportunity to step up while he serves this suspension." It's the second suspension of Talib's career The 26-year-old was suspended without pay for the 2010 regular- season opener and fined one addi- tional game check for violating the NFL's personal-conduct policy. That discipline stemmed from an alterca- tion with a St Petersburg cab driver during training camp in August 2009. "I made a mistake by taking an Adderall pill without a prescription. This is especially regrettable be- cause, for the past several months, with Coach Schiano's help, I've Associated Press Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib was suspended for four games by the NFL on Saturday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. worked very hard to improve myself -professionally and personally- as a player and a man," Talib said. "I am truly sorry to my teammates, coaches and Buccaneers fans, and I'm disappointed in myself. I will work diligently every day of this suspension to stay in top football shape and be ready to help this team in the second half of the season," Talib added.

Collins, a resident of Biloxi, Miss., died of nat- ural causes before 1 a.m. Saturday after he was ad- mitted Friday evening to Biloxi Regional Medical Center, according to Har- rison County Coroner Gary Hargrove. During the 1980s, Collins hosted the Miss America pageant and the television shows "Hour Magazine" for which he won a Daytime Emmy in 1983 -and "The Home Show." -From wire reports Writing from the heart Asso Holocaust activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel, 83, has written a new book titled, "Open His latest book is about his experience of undergoing heart surgery last summer. Elie Wiesel survives Madoff wipeout, heart bypass Associated Press NEW YORK-When Elie Wiesel emerged from quintuple heart by- pass surgery, still wired to moni- tors, he immediately started writing a book about the ordeal - "in my head." In French. A year later, as he recuperates from post-procedure fatigue and de- pression, "Open Heart" is being published, in English. And the 84- year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust activist is busy in the Manhattan office of his foundation, which also is recovering from fi- nancial ruin by Bernard Madoff, who had invested the money fund- ing its humanitarian efforts. Madoff's Ponzi scheme also wiped out Wiesel's family invest- ments. About one-third of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity's $15 million assets have been re- placed through new contributions, according to tax documents ob- tained by The Associated Press. "Children sent us their pocket money, people we never heard of, Jews, non-Jews, young, old," Wiesel says. "I was so touched by that." None of the donations went to him and his wife, who have had to watch their personal budget, re- thinking travels and restaurant ex- penses, he said. "But I've seen worse," the Auschwitz survivor added with a wry grin. He pulls back his left jacket sleeve to reveal a Nazi death camp number tattooed on his forearm as he sits comfortably in his Manhat- tan office for an interview. "Usually I don't show it," he said. One of the exceptions was a 2009 visit to the Buchenwald death camp Wiesel survived, with Presi- dent Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. In a soft, intense voice, he re- cently shared his thoughts in his of- fice 20 floors above Madison Avenue, filled with books and mem- ories. A group of young assistants scurried through the hallway tak- ing care of business from Israeli education centers for Ethiopian Jews rescued from persecution to an international ethics essay contest.

He'll still deliver lectures there this fall and may add courses later "I love teaching, it's my passion," he said. He also was to speak at New York's 92nd Street Y in October on two topics: "Judaism and Peace" and "Ezekiel and his Frightening Visions." Wiesel wrote "Open Heart" in French, the language that's easiest for him because after the war, he was a Romanian-born survivor placed in a youth home in Paris, where he settled and became a journalist. He moved to New York in 1956. The new book was translated into English by his wife, Marion Wiesel, and is set for a Dec. 4 publication. In addition to an account of the surgical drama, it's an intimate as- sessment of his life in the face of possible death. As he was wheeled away toward the operating room on a gurney, he recalls in an interview, "I saw my son and my wife, and all of a sud- den, a question ran through me, 'Maybe it's the last time?'" That moment reminded him of the day in Buchenwald when he saw his ill father for the last time, before he was beaten to death by a Nazi guard. His mother an perished earlier in the Au gas chambers.

COMMENTARY CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE - THE DEATH PENALTY Gerry Mulligan OUT THE WINDOW Recounting the tale ofwitnessing an execution in Florida in 2011 M anuel Valle was born in Florida. I was born in Brooklyn. On Sept. 28, 2011, r we would meet for the first time at ... Florida State Prison ' in Starke. Our roles were different. He had to die. I had to Anthony watch. GU On April 2, 1978, COL Manuel Valle killed a - Coral Gables police officer who pulled him over for running a red light. I had been invited to witness an execution by the Florida Department of Correction, having served as Corrections Commissioner in New York. As a criminologist, I accepted the invitation, because from time to time the death penalty comes up in my class on criminology and witnessing one would contribute to the class discussion. The death penalty is nothing new; it's been with us for cen- turies. This century we have been searching for more hu- mane ways of killing people. We've shot them by firing Schembri EST .UMN squads, suffocated them, gassed them, buried them alive, lopped off their heads, burned them alive and hung them because it reflects the popular notion the death penalty is a de- terrent Now we have developed a new de- vice, the most humane of all, lethal injection. Counting down Arriving at 2 p.m., they es- corted me to the Warden's Con- ference Room. They knew me. Several other witnesses came in. He was to die at 4 p.m., but he got a stay of ex- ecution. At 6:30 p.m. they came in and told us the stay was lifted and he was to die at 6:55 p.m. I looked at my watch; he had 25 minutes to go. I wondered if he was looking at his watch. Later, they drove the 16 of us in two vans to the Q Building (execution chamber). There are 397 inmates on death row. On the day of an execution, the inmates are locked down. In- mates saw us exit the vans and BY THE NUMBERS * 10 states without capital punishment have homicide rates below the national average, according to the FBI data. * 154 people on death row have been exonerated by DNA evidence, according to the Innocence Project. * Currently, 404 inmates are on death row, according to the Florida Department of Corrections website. began to scream obscenities. We were escorted to the witness room. They seated me in front. We stared at a brown curtain in front of a 14-foot window. At 6:55 p.m. the curtain was raised. Final moments He was strapped to a gurney Needles were already in his arm. In England, they would say: "The scaffold is high, eternity is near." They asked him if he had any- thing to say He said "No." The officer nodded to someone be- hind the screen. I saw the needle move. Dostoevsky once said, "You can judge the degree of civiliza- tion in a society by entering its prisons." I was hoping we weren't being judged today Mechanics of death The first shot anesthetized him. The second shot stopped his lungs. No. 3 stopped his heart On the outside, it looks like he goes to sleep, but on the inside, his organs are going through Ar- mageddon. The muscles on his face would contort and his body would jump, but shot No. 1 was a muscle relaxant, so we don't have to witness a horror show. You die in your own arms. You can't describe the impotence of witnessing the last breath of a per- son while his organs writhe, twist and contort We just sat there qui- etly No one spoke. It seems like we shared a common embarrass- ment for being there. Someone said: '"Justice has been done." See Page C3 A solution to Citrus County's water problems DAN HILLIARD Guest columnist here is almighty debate these days about the future of our water resources, and rightly so. It is critically important we find a rational balance. Virtu- ally every facet of water regulation in this state is the focus of debate, whether the subject is restoration, supply or protection. On these top- ics politicians commonly ask "How are you going to pay for it?" Good Other VOICES question, so what is the solution? "The purpose of the Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP) is to provide the framework for future water management decisions in the District. The RWSP for the Northern Planning Region shows that demand for water through 2030 can be met with fresh ground- water" -SWFWMD 2010 Regional Water Supply Plan, Northern Region. Therein lies the rub. Suggesting we can do something does not mean it is a good idea. Groundwater provides flow vol- ume to our rivers and springs. High-flow volume moderates pol- lution concentrations to some de- gree and serves as the foundation of healthy estuarine productivity. These systems are powerful eco- nomic engines. Skim away the top of the aquifer and such benefit fades away This is the nexus of contention. Media polls make it profoundly clear that water is a hot-button topic. And because water is so crit- ically important to our lives, this debate is a good thing. The out- come will define the quality of life in this state forever. "The era of cheap water is over." Why would anyone think that? It is simple recognition of the law of See Page C4 Books, schools of great value An elected official in Citrus County re- cently said you don't learn anything from books. He was mistaken. Books may not be the only way you learn things, but for most people, books are an important tool to learn new skills, compre- hend our history or simply stimulate us to think in different ways. In our community, we value books and we value education. Those are more than just slogans or empty po- litical promises, they are facts reinforced by our in- dividual financial com- mitment. Unlike many other places in Florida and the United States, Citrus County residents have twice voted in public ref- erendums to buy more books and support public education. It is not a coincidence we have one of the best school systems in the state of Florida. Sure, we have problems. But on the stan- dardized measurements, every elementary school in our community has an A rating. Every one of them. And it's not a coinci- dence we have a great public library system. The citizens of Citrus County voted to make them great. It takes more than money to make a good school system. It takes good teachers, strong leaders, involved parents, eager students and com- munity support. Two years ago we, the residents of Citrus County, voted to tax ourselves an additional .25 of a mill to support our schools. I can remember a county com- missioner who agreed to permit the vote to go on the ballot, sarcastically predicting local voters would unanimously reject the idea of paying a little more tax to make better schools. He was wrong. Voters enthusiastically backed the tax. The same voters decided not to re-elect that county commissioner. At the same time, Citrus County taxpayers have had a self-imposed library tax for the past 25 years, because we collectively do believe in books. The Chronicle pub- lished a story earlier this week recognizing Ren Renfro for his efforts a quarter of a century ago to create a library taxing dis- trict via a self-imposed li- brary tax. We continue to pay the small tax each year and we now have one of the best library systems in the state. Homosassa, Inverness, Floral City, Beverly Hills and Crystal River each have outstand- ing public libraries filled with books. And people come every day to read those books. On Election Day this year, Citrus voters will again be asked to endorse the same extra .25 mill for our school system. A ref- erendum question is ask- ing you to continue the extra tax. To the average house- hold, that probably meant See Page C3 Page C2 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 PINION "A bank is a place that will lend you money ifyou can prove that you don't need it."

Candidate Romney can enhance Georg his chance of having OTI this choice to make by VO1 embracing a simple VOI proposition from Fisher: Systemically important fi- nancial institutions (SIFIs), mean- ing too-big-to-fail (TBTF) banks, are "too dangerous to permit" Romney almost did this in the first debate when he said Dodd- Frank's designation of TBTF banks makes them "effectively guaranteed by the federal gov- ernment" and constitutes "the biggest kiss that's been given to - to New York banks I've ever seen." Fisher, who has a flair for rhetorical pungency, is more crisp: There are 6,000 American banks but "half of the entire bank- ing industry's assets" are concen- trated in five institutions whose combined assets equate to almost 60 percent of GDPAnd "the top 10 banks now account for 61 percent of commercial banking assets, substantially more than the 26 percent of only 20 years ago." The problems posed by supersizedd and hypercomplex banks" may, Fisher said, require anti-obesity policies equivalent to "irre- versible lap-band or gastric by- pass surgery" The land of TBTFs is "a perverse financial Lake Wobegon" where all crises are "exceptional," justifying "unique" solutions that are the same, meaning bailouts. This incurs "the wrath of ordinary citizens and smaller entities that resent this favorable treatment, and we plant the seeds of social unrest." Fisher cited Andrew Haldane of the Bank of England who cal- culates this: The assumption cer- HI Ic tain banks have im- plicit TBTF status gives them preferen- tial access to invest- ment capital. In 2009, these silent subsidies enjoyed by TBTFs worldwide ap- proached $2.3 trillion in value. e Will Haldane noted a IER parallel between fi- DES nancial systems and epidemiological net- works: Normal epi- demiology involves "focusing preventive action on 'super- spreaders' within the network to limit the potential for systemwide spread." Endorsing the axiom (attrib- uted to Napoleon) one should "never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence," Fisher said. TBTF banks "are sprawling and complex so vast that their own management teams may not fully understand their own risk expo- sures, providing fertile ground for unintended 'incompetence."' Fisher's rejoinder to those who impute "economies of scale" to such banks is there also are 'dis- 'economies of scale." Fisher, among many others, believes the component parts of the biggest banks would be "worth more bro- ken up than as a whole." Furthermore, the economy suf- fers as indefensible preferences multiply In an essay, "Choosing the Road to Prosperity: Why We Must End Too Big To Fail Now," Harvey Rosenblum of the Dallas Fed's Research Department noted "people disillusioned with capitalism aren't as eager to en- gage in productive activities." The desire to strive is inversely proportional to the suspicion the game is rigged. Rosenblum adds: "For all its bluster, Dodd-Frank leaves TBTF entrenched. ... In fact, the financial crisis in- creased concentration because some TBTF institutions acquired the assets of other troubled TBTF institutions. The TBTF survivors of the financial crisis look a lot like they did in 2008. They main- tain corporate cultures based on the short-term incentives of fees and bonuses derived from in- creased oligopoly power." At bottom, the TBTF phenom- enon raises questions not merely about the financial system but about the nature of the American regime. These are Jacksonian questions, implicating issues Old Hickory raised in 1832 when ve- toing the Second Bank of the United States: Should the gov- ernment be complicit in protect- ing and by doing so, enlarging - huge economic interests? Capitalism which is, as Milton Friedman tirelessly insisted, a profit and loss system is sub- verted by TBTF, which socializes losses while leaving profits private. And which enhances the profits of those whose losses it socializes. TBTF is a double moral disas- ter: It creates moral hazard by en- couraging risky behavior, and it delegitimizes capitalism by vali- dating public cynicism about its risk-reward ratios. It is inexplicable politics and regrettable policy Romney has, so far, flinched from a forthright endorsement of breaking up the biggest banks. This stance by him would be credible because of his background and would be intelli- gible to voters because of its clar- ity As the campaign reaches what should be a satisfying culmina- tion, they would be astonished by, and grateful for, the infusion of a fresh thought into the deluge of painfully familiar boilerplate. Having tiptoed close to where Fisher stands, Romney still has time to remember Gen. Douglas MacArthur's axiom that in war all disasters can be explained by two words: "Too late." --*--A George Will's email address is georgewill@washpost. com. FLC 3 0 P _ LETTERS to the Editor Talented children The TV show "America's Got Talent" covers a lot of different states, but I have to say in Florida that on Sunday, Sept. 30, Citrus County showed us we have some great talent right here. FFRA, a parent support group of special-needs "Kids," had its third annual talent show at the First Presbyterian Church of Inverness. The tables were set with white tablecloths, a vase of carnations, and the programs were passed out. The stage was set with a backdrop of lights, camera and action. It was time for some spe- cial-needs "Kids" to show us what they had. They did that and more when they got up on stage. It was an afternoon of fine entertainment. We had dancers, piano play- ers, someone on the harmonica, singers and with some of the songs, we had "Kids" doing sign language. Even some of the par- ents and caregivers joined in. We had a young man, Kenny Roix, doing the music for the show. Our "Kids" are special all the time, but today they also shined showing a talent that was special OPINIONS INVITED The opinions expressed in Chroni- cle editorials are the opinions of the newspaper's editorial board.

Company E, 2nd southern town who'd gone to segregated schools during a time when there were separate waiting rooms at doctors' offices, separate public water fountains and separate bathroom facilities. Signs designating "colored" and "whites only" were very much a part of the world in which I'd grown up. So, in spite of my self- righteousness, based on ignorance and not intent, I was a racist. That is, until I met Bobby Bradford, the first black person I'd ever known on a first- name basis and the first I called friend. Bobby was a draftee from Baltimore. The army does everything alphabetically, so Bradford and Brannen were thrown together in training exercises. What I remember most vividly, the incident which sealed the friendship between us, was the pugil stick competition. A pugil stick is a 5- foot pole that has heavy padding on both ends. The intent is for one person to beat the other into submission using this overgrown Q-tip. I began executing formal jabs and thrusts. The next thing I knew, Bradford had swept my legs from beneath me and was sitting on my chest with the business end of a pugil stick pressed up against my throat. "Bradford, are you trying to kill me?" I yelped. "No, Brannen," he replied, "I'm not trying to kill you, I'm trying to help you stay alive!" Bradford and I became buddies and he taught me many things, none more important than skin color is in no way a measure of a man's worth. In almost all cases, basic training buddies - unless they continue on in service together are much too busy to stay in touch. We exchanged a few letters after he went on to advanced infantry training and I returned home, but that was it. Nonetheless, I never forgot him. When I first visited the memorial, several years ago, I wiped tears of sadness from my eyes as I read the names of friends lost there and I wiped away tears of gladness when I didn't find Bobby Bradford.

It's not a huge amount of money Neither is the extra little tax we pay for the libraries. But they together send an important message - books are important in Citrus County. Schools are important. Learning is important. We collectively place a high value on our children having the opportu- nity to succeed in our schools. We place a high value on books being available for everyone at our terrific public libraries. On Election Day, it's important we, the voters, send a message to the politicians that books and schools are important. They are what we value. Once you vote "no" on all those long constitutional amendments on the crowded November ballot, look for the question titled "School Dis- trict Referendum" and vote yes. We need to sometimes remind our politicians about the values that make Citrus County special. Gerry Mulligan is the publisher of the Chronicle. Email him at gm ulligan@chronicleonline. com. DEATH Continued from Page C1 Aftermath We got up, lined up, stared at the floor and left. We were not unlike a group of strangers who huddled in a doorway out of the rain and shared an experience, never to see each other again. Manuel Valle was pronounced dead at 7:14 p.m. He was put to death as you would put to death a beloved pet. We are all safer now from Manuel Vale. Florida is scheduled to do this 397 more times. It's funny how our mem- ory works and we connect dots. I thought years ago you could walk into a deli- catessen and would be over- come by the wonderful smells. You could smell the bread, the pickles, the cheeses and the meats. It made you hungry Today, everything is shrink- wrapped. It's like entering a drug store. It's sanitary, clean. Years ago, we electro- cuted a man in the electric chair. It smelled like an exe- cution. Flesh burning, you were overcome by the smell of death. Today, it's sanitary, antiseptic, you don't smell the death. Emotional toll I had conflicting emo- tions. The emotions of a po- lice officer who became a police commissioner and at- tended many police funer- als and hugged the wives of slain police officers as they wept a river. Emotions and the criminal justice system is not a good combination. Then, conflict. I had the emotions of a criminologist who teaches criminology and criminal law and ex- pects research to affect and determine public policy When it doesn't, I think we are stupid. I wish stupidity caused pain. Just think how wonderful that would be. I pose questions to my class like "Why do we exe- cute?" The crime issue is manipulated for political ends you can't get elected dog catcher in this country unless you're tough on crime. It's time to get smart on crime. It's time to raise the level of public debate on the subject without emotions, without being labeled a lib- eral or a conservative. I un- derstand the death penalty and I can relate to the ret- ributive impulsive for mur- der. 1962 flashback Walking out of the execu- tion chamber, the streets of Borough Park flashed before me. The place was Brooklyn, the time was my childhood. It was May 1962; I heard a bulletin on television. Two detectives, Finnegan and Fallon, were killed in a tobacco shop in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Unheard of, two detectives killed at the same time. I drove there. I stood behind a police line. Lt. Al Seedman went past me. I told him I wanted to be a cop and wanted to help find the killers. He told me to go home before I get in trouble. Twenty years later, he would become chief of de- tectives and I would be a deputy chief of detectives in the prosecutor's office and work with him. I saw cops weep a river that day Cop killers should die I'm thinking. Well, here I was 49 years later, about to see a cop killer executed. The crimi- nologist in me takes over. The research said the death penalty in America is dying. In 2009, the number of death sentences dropped for the past seven years. States' standards In Illinois, the governor halted all executions be- cause of problems in the criminal justice system with it. Eleven states considered abolishing the death penalty last year, citing high costs and the lack of measurable benefits. The dozen states that have chosen not to enact the death penalty since it was ruled permissible in 1976 have not had higher homi- cide rates than the states with the death penalty. In- deed, 10 states without capi- tal punishment have homicide rates below the national average, according to the FBI data. According to the Innocence Project, 154 people on death row have been exonerated by DNA ev- idence. Supreme Court Jus- tice Harry Blackman said the American "machinery of death" is broken. Judicial process After reviewing the re- search and applying 45 years of experience, I found: most homicides are impulsive actions and crimes of passion where the killers do not consider the consequences, law enforce- ment officers sometimes fudge the truth, they coerce false testimony, court-ap- pointed lawyers sleep through trials, they miss deadlines, they fail to put on exculpatory evidence, ju- ries believe every word of "experts," witnesses opine on defendants they never met, jurors evade responsi- bility by hiding behind other jurors, judges evade respon- sibility by hiding behind jury verdicts and appeals courts hide behind trial courts. In three cases, I found the lawyers slept during trial, did not call witnesses, gave no closing arguments and used drugs. One was dis- barred, and one handled the case of the victim's will (a conflict). One made racial remarks. These issues are a self-in- flicted wound to the death penalty. Would you want to die on evidence cited above? Higher certainty If we are to continue to use the death penalty, it is my opinion the level of cer- tainty should be higher. Per- haps instead of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, it should be proof beyond all doubt. Without fear of con- tradiction, I can say the law has become a rubrics cube; you can twist it into any- thing you want. As an example, Black- stone and Bentham dis- cussed a 1278 statute establishing the penalty for "stealing horses." The Eng- lish judges held this provi- sion did not apply to someone who stole a single horse. As a criminologist, I de- mand proof for my opinion. Two thirds of all witness identification has been re- versed because DNA cleared them. Research demon- strates the death penalty does not deter murder Penalty studies The first of the compara- tive studies of capital pun- ishment was done by Thorsten Sellin in 1959. Sellin was a criminologist at the University of Pennsyl- vania and one of the pio- neers of scientific criminology He was a prime mover in setting up the gov- ernment agencies that col- lect statistics on crime. Sellin applied his combina- tion of qualitative and quan- titative methods in an exhaustive study of capital punishment. He compared states to other states and ex- amined changes in states over time. Every compari- son he made led him to the "inevitable conclusion . . that executions have no dis- cernible effect on homicide rates" (Sellin 1959, 34). Sellin's work has been replicated time and time again, as new data have be- come available, and all of the replications have con- firmed his finding capital punishment does not deter homicide (see Bailey and Peterson 1997, and Zimring and Hawkins 1986). Life or death? The popular notion the death penalty is a deterrent is wrong. Most murders are committed by people who know each other. Surveys of inmates said they would rather die than get life in prison. So, life in prison is more of a deterrent to in- mates than the death penalty. The year 1963 is distin- guished by two facts: the first year in U.S. history in which executions of crimi- nals did not occur and a crime rate higher than any previous year. In many polls, the most often cited reason for the death penalty is the belief it deters crime. Research fails to support a deterrence justification for capital punishment, so say the scientists of crime. Finally, we must look at retribution, the notion that punishment (the death penalty) is imposed because it is deserved. As a crimi- nologist I often pose this question to my students: "Is retribution the true cur- rency of justice?" Costly punishment The death penalty means murderers deserve death in Texas but not in Massachu- setts. I do not call for an end to the death penalty I call for a light on the death penalty. Life in prison is cheaper than the death penalty, so a life sentence is more cost effective. Pierrepoint's point In preparation for this ar- ticle, I researched the work of a man who executed 608 people from 1933-1945. Al- bert Pierrepoint was the of- ficial executioner of England. Pierrepoint kept his opinions to himself on the topic until his 1974 auto- biography "Executioner: Pierrepoint." He wrote: "I have come to the conclusion that execu- tions solve nothing, and are only an antiquated relic of a primitive desire for revenge which takes the easy way and hands over the respon- sibility for revenge to other people. The trouble with the death penalty has always been that nobody wanted it for everybody, but every- body differed about who should get off." The death penalty made Pierrepoint feel hanging was no deterrent. Lewis Lawes was the Warden of Sing Sing prison from 1920 to 1941. He supervised 303 executions. "I shall ask for abolition of the penalty of death until I have the infallibility of human judgment demon- strated to me," he said in 1923. A conversation Picture this. I had imag- ined that when I was driving down the road from the prison I spotted a space ship that had just landed. I stopped my car. An alien came out and walked over to my car. He asked me: "What are you doing here?" I said: "I just came from an execution." He said: "What is that?" I said: "It's where and when the government puts a man to death." He asked me: "Why do you do that?" I said: "We kill people who kill people, to show that it's wrong to kill people." When those words came out of my mouth, it struck me. He said: "That doesn't' make sense. Who was the executioner?" I said: "We the people. The government kills peo- ple in our name." He retorted: "Your society should be better than him and model the way" He asked: "What happens now?" I said: "Politicians will make more speeches, the press will sell more papers, the police and parole will be blamed, more laws will be passed, Jenna's law, Caylee's law etc." He said: "That doesn't make sense." I said: "I know, welcome to America." He told me a story about a Jewish man in a concentra- tion camp who was about to be executed. His friend found him kneeling and praying. His friend said: "What are you doing?" He said: "I am thanking God." Amazed, his friend said: "You are about to be exe- cuted and you are thanking God-for what?" Looking up he retorted: "For not making me like them." Have we become like them? Is government now a killer? Similar opinions Supreme Court Justice Louis E. Brandeis said: "Government is a teacher, for good or bad, but govern- ment should set the exam- ple. You don't solve violence by committing violence." Kirk Douglas in Paths of Glory, in defense of soldiers about to be executed, said: "There are times when I am ashamed to be a mem- ber of the human race and this is one such occasion." At 7:14 p.m. Sept 28, 2011, I felt the same way The end result Once again, I do not call for an end to the death penalty I call for a light on the death penalty and I pose a question -why doesn't ev- idence influence public pol- icy? I came home, hugged my wife, called my son and looked forward to my next class on criminology. I will not ask my students: "Do they deserve to die?" But "Do we deserve to kill them?"

COMMENTARY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 C3 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE WATER Continued from Page C1 supply and demand. As time passes the requirement for use of alternative sup- plies will rocket upward and those costs are stratospheric due to direct expense of water treatment and installation costs of distribution architecture. We have about 19,000,000 residents in Florida. According to the U.S. Geologi- cal Survey, our total daily consumption or use of fresh water in the state is 7 to 8 billion gallons a day Ninety percent of the state's residents are provided potable water supply from underground aquifers. Water is the fuel of Florida's eco- nomic engine. It runs poorly when the fuel is pollut" ed or in short supply It is very expensive when the engine stut- ters. At some time in the future when all platted land in Florida reaches build- out, it is said we may have more than 80 million residents. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission fore- cast of growth in Florida projects 35- plus million residents by 2060. We do not have the water to support such pop- ulation even though we have "planned" for it, and this is why "The era of cheap water is over." If we, as a people, decide growth is in our best interest, we must decide how to provide water supply for such visions. We must also recognize corrupted water bodies will end these plans in mid stride. High-quality water and all it sup- ports is vital to our future prosperity and generations to come. "Re" words are expensive. Reclama- tion. Restoration. So too are the words "Alternative Water Supply" How do we fund these things? Well, this is the fly in the ointment. We are adept at drawing on the resource and short-sighted in long-term planning. The water in this state belongs to the people. This is a conceptual Law of the Commons philosophy. The user with the biggest pump has economic advantage over the rest of us. In most cases, no meter determines what quantity is ac- tually used, and there is absolutely no motivation found in this idea which pro- motes conservation by any user. I'm willing to compensate the people for water I use. Would the developer, in- dustrial or agricultural user do so as well? Extrapolate this further to munic- ipalities which pump tens of millions of gallons per day, or industrial uses which push up into the hundreds of millions of gallons in aggregate and you probably see where this is going. If all wells in Florida were metered, a levy of 1 cent per 1,000 gallons of groundwater would generate estimated revenues of $50- plus million per day, or $18-plus billion per year for water projects. The num- bers put a certain perspective on our dependence upon this resource, no? While this calculation is crude and the details of doing something of this nature would inspire great debate, need it be spelled out what such funds could accomplish toward funding restoration, reclamation, alternative water supplies, or water and sewer systems? Would an economic imperative for conservation and efficiency of use be a bad thing? Is there a meaningful objection to be found adverse to this idea? If so, accept the challenge and make your case. De- bate is beneficial when problem-solving and we surely need a solution. Dan Hilliard a director with Withlacoochee Area Residents Inc., which was organized in 1984 in response to quality of life threats posed by activities that have a high potential to degrade groundwater and surface water quality Doctor shows kindness, respect In today's time when people don't have time for people and doctors are so busy, I wanted to give my recommendation to a Dr. Jeffrey Wallis. He saw me as a gastroenterologist and a colonoscopy doctor. He treated me with respect and kindness along with everybody in his office and went beyond the call of duty, him and his staff. And I wanted to 01 say because of doctors like him, we still have a lot of faith in our doctors.. .This man had time, compassion and is a very wonderful doctor and his whole staff.

What can we do to dissolve this organization or at least change their views, their un-American views? God bless America. Trump uninformed in book Just because someone has a book published does not make it factual. Donald Trump is one of the most uninformed and biased persons in this country. Reading his stuff is a waste of time, as far as facts are concerned. Smith column drips with irony Recently read the article from Jimmie T. Smith on "Balancing protection of our waters with devel- opment," and he emphasized protecting local sources first. I hope he realizes the well permit Swiftmud approved recently in Crystal River is step 1 in bypassing the local sources first. Trump, lacocca writings scary I find it very serious, disgusting and threatening of the truth that Donald Trump is speaking about Letters to the Editor For endorsement letters, see pages A13-15 in today's paper. our president. But the most recent one that opened my eyes is when I got an email of an address and letter that had been written by the former JND chairman chief of the Chrysler people, la- FF cocca.

Do your homework, people. w0579 0579 Tune out political bashing I'm tired of people calling in Sound Off bashing Democrats, saying they're get- ting handouts and all this. And Republi- cans are the ones (who) are dividing this country with their conservative rhetoric and their conservative talk radio and sit- ting there bashing American people for getting handouts and saying it's the Democrats. Just give it a break and turn it over on a different channel and watch some real news. Are dolphins more deserving? This is for the person who called in saying Carl Hiaasen must be Republican because he doesn't think we should feed the dolphins because it makes them dependent. If a dolphin is injured and unable to hunt, you would provide that dolphin with government-financed medical care and food. Even a Republican would do that. They do it for a dolphin, just not for a human. We Care Pantry best suited Question is, who decides about the firehouse? It seems to me it's to help residents of Ho- mosassa. We Care Pantry serves the elderly, the young, and, yes, our veterans in these great eco- nomic times. This is a no-brainer. We Care Food Pantry serves all the residents of Homosassa. Good job, Diane.

Steep drop in unemployment rate spawns overnight conspiracy theories Associated Press WASHINGTON Sasquatch might as well have traipsed across the White House lawn Friday with a lost Warren Commission file on his way to the studio where NASA staged the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists came out in force after the government re- ported a sudden drop in the U.S. unemployment rate one month before Election Day Their mes- sage: The Obama administration would do anything to ensure a November victory, including manipulating unemployment data. The conspiracy was widely re- jected. Officials at the Labor De- partment said the jobs figures are calculated by highly trained government employees without any political interference. De- mocrats and even some Repub- licans said they also found the charges implausible. Yet that didn't stop the chatter The allegations were a measure of how politicized the monthly unemployment report has be- come near the end of a cam- paign that has focused on the economy and jobs. The conspiracy erupted after former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, a Republican, tweeted his skepticism five min- utes after the Labor Department announced that the unemploy- ment rate had fallen to 7.8 per- cent in September from 8.1 percent the month before. "Unbelievable jobs numbers ... these Chicago guys will do anything ... can't debate so change numbers," Welch tweeted, referring to the site of Obama campaign headquarters. The drop in unemployment was announced two days after Obama's lackluster performance in his first debate with Republi- can challenger Mitt Romney Republican Rep. Allen West of Florida soon announced via Facebook that he agreed with Welch. "Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the presidential election," West wrote. "This is Orwellian to say the least." The Obama administration wasn't given much time to gloat about the strong economic im- provement Instead, it had to de- fend statisticians and economists against accusations made without any supporting evidence. Associated Press Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch addresses students Sept. 27, 2006, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Mass. Conspiracy theorists came out in force Friday, Oct. 5, after the government reported a sudden drop in the U.S. unemployment rate one month before Election Day. Welch tweeted his skepticism five minutes after the Labor Department announced that the unemployment rate had fallen to 7.8 percent in September from 8.1 percent the month before. "No serious person ... would make claims like that," said Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Eco- nomic Advisers. The jobs report is prepared under tight security each month by a relatively obscure govern- ment agency the Bureau of Labor Statistics without any oversight or input from the White House. It is based on data collected by an army of census workers, who interview Ameri- cans in 60,000 households by telephone or door-to-door Eight days before the unem- ployment rate is made public, the bureau's office suite goes into lock- down. Tom Nardone, a 36-year veteran at the agency who oversees preparation of the report, keeps crucial papers in a safe in his office. A big reason for the security has nothing to do with politics. The data could move financial markets if it were released early "These are our best-trained and best-skilled individuals," Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said on CNBC. She called the claims of manipulation "ludicrous." The BLS, the statistical divi- sion of the Labor Department, collected and analyzed data and calculated the unemployment rate before Wednesday night's presidential debate. Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors, said that it's "not that unusual" for the rate to move by three-tenths of a percent in one month. It's happened 12 times in the past 10 years.

Bruce Williams SMART MONEY Stuck in place and running out of time DEAR BRUCE: I don't know anyone who knows more about financial matters than I do, and I know lit- tle. I am 73 years old and widowed, and I have an annual income of $20,000, plus or minus. I work two part-time jobs to supple- ment my IRAs and Social Security. I own a 100-year- old home in a dying city, so houses are not moving very fast, if at all. I have to pay someone to do most of the mainte- nance, and the supply of people who do that is ever changing. The compe- tency level goes down rather than up. There are many issues in a house this old windows, side wall insulation, plaster cracks and, in my case, a chimney with repairs that have cost almost as much as the house did back in the '60s. (It still leaks, too.) This eats up most of my "disposable" income. To make matters worse, a store on the corner has expanded right up to the driveway of the house next door to me, and park- ing is scarce on this street. The store owner bought the house next door, and while it is now rented, I figure it's only a matter of time before it becomes a parking lot. I've already been to the zoning/plan- ning board and wasted my breath about allowing commercial creep to cut deep into the middle-class residential area. If I sold the house, I don't know where I'd go. Rent would eat up much of the monthly income, and buying another house is out of the question. My children live away and won't ever come back. Should I try to obtain a reverse mortgage? And if I do, what should I look for? My father lived to be 97, so I'm hoping to be around for a while. - H.R., via email DEAR H.R: I appreci- ate your circumstances. The troublesome part about a reverse mortgage is that an appraisal will have to be made, and given your description of the home, it's not going to appraise for much. Fur- ther, since you are rela- tively young, the amount you can get from a reverse mortgage is much less on a percentage basis be- cause you still have a fairly long life expectancy See Page D4 Fall is here, and so are opportunities an you feel it? Fall is fi- nally in the air goodbye soggy, energy-zapping hu- midity; hello crisp, drier air, cooler temperatures and bright autumn skies. It's the time of year that just makes you want to throw open your windows and doors and let that brisk breeze in. It is also a great time to open yourself up to myriad opportuni- ties to find and prepare for your next great job or employee and, if you are an employer, learn how to bolster your staff's credentials through an Employed Worker Training (EWT) program.

A small Coke bottler in Minnesota said it's stopping production of the bottles, which customers could re- turn to get back a 20-cent de- posit. The company in Winona, Minn., had been re- filling the returnable bottles since 1932, but said it no longer makes business sense. LeRoy Telstad, the bot- tler's vice president and general manager, said the last run for refilling the bot- tles was Tuesday The Coca-Cola Co., based in Atlanta, notes its 8-ounce glass bottles are still widely available across the country Those recyclable bottles are nearly identical to the smaller 6.5-ounce bottles. They have less glass but hold more cola. The glass bottles that were refilled in Winona, Minn. had a very limited footprint, distributed in only four counties. "They were made on an old line that would have to be completely replaced - they kept them going as long as they could," said Susan Stribling, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman. And people often kept the vintage bottles after they bought them instead of re- turning them. As one of the last makers of the refillable bottles, Tel- stad said people would DIGEST Continued from Page D1 WellFlorida provides man- agement services for locally, state- and federally funded pro- grams, special projects and nonprofits throughout the re- gion.

Customers paid a deposit on each bottle they bought and would get the deposit back when they re- turned the bottles. The bottling company, which will continue to dis- tribute other Coca-Cola products, said it refilled about 6,000 bottles for the final run. The bottles will be sold online for $20 each start- ing Monday, with proceeds going toward the Lake Winona Pedestrian and Bicy- cle Path restoration project The Coca-Cola Co. made its trademarked contour glass bottle in 1916.

SECO employees pledge $47,191 to United Way Special to the Chronicle Sumter Electric Cooperative has completed its 2012-13 United Way campaign and its community-minded employees have pledged $47,191 to assist those less fortunate in the co- op's seven county service territory. SECO employees choose where their individual donations go and the breakdown for the current area United Way cam- paigns is as follows: Lake and Sumter counties $25,718 Marion County $12,259 Citrus County $5,860 Other counties $3,354 "Our employees face many of the same economic chal- lenges that our member/customers are facing," said SECO CEO Jim Duncan. "However, despite the current economic cli- mate, they have certainly not abandoned their tradition of com- mitment to the communities we serve and the people who live within them. I am very proud of them for their support of United Way, but it's also important to mention that our employees are involved in a wide variety of humanitarian and community causes and events throughout the year. They do so by donat- ing their time, talents and monetary support." The co-op also has its own humanitarian programs such as the SECO Angel Fund and the SECO Gatekeeper Program.

It last happened 20 months ago, "so we were overdue. That is just the reality of the data." Romney didn't discredit the government data. But plenty of conservatives did that work for him. Conn Carroll, an editorial writer at the Washington Ex- aminer, tweeted: "I don't think BLS cooked numbers. I think a bunch of Dems lied about getting jobs. That would have same effect." Rick Manning, communications director of Americans for Limited Government and the former public affairs chief of staff at the Labor Department, said "anyone who takes this unemployment report serious is either naive or a paid Obama campaign adviser." Rep. Paul Broun, a Maryland Republican, weighed in with a statement saying the report "raises questions for me, and frankly it should be raising eyebrows for people across the country" Economists offered more plausible reasons for skep- ticism. A big chunk of the increase in employed Ameri- cans came from those who had to settle for part-time work: 582,000 more people reported that they were work- ing part-time last month but wanted full-time jobs. Conspiracy theories are nothing new for Obama. He has been dogged by discredited claims that he wasn't born in this country and that he is Muslim. "Stop with the dumb conspiracy theories. Good grief," Tony Fratto, who worked for President George W Bush, weighed in on Twitter It wasn't just the political elite commenting. Angelia Levy, a researcher at the Federal Judicial Center, the re- search arm of the federal judiciary, told her 588 Twitter followers that Welch's comments were "unbelievable." "All of the sudden they're questioning this data that's been reported for decades," the Democrat said in a phone interview. "It's so hypocritical and ridiculous." Justin Wolfers, a professor of business and public pol- icy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and research associate at the National Bureau of Eco- nomic Research, went on Twitter to say Welch "just la- beled himself an idiot." In a follow-up phone call, Wolfers said the economists who calculate the monthly jobs report "are nerds who spend their lives crunching numbers for the public serv- ice. To impute their integrity is outrageous." The agency has been in the political glare before. In 1971, President Nixon took aim at it after a top offi- cial, Howard Goldstein, publicly attributed a steep drop in unemployment to largely technical factors. The ad- ministration reorganized the agency and installed sev- eral officials in newly created positions. That led to charges from Democrats that the GOP administration was politicizing the bureau. Welch said later in the day in a Fox News interview: "I don't know what the right number is, but I'll tell you, these numbers don't smell right when you think about where the economy is right now." Mayerowitz reported from New York They have increased the number of healthy eating op- tions available to employees. They promote a wellness culture at the worksite. They embrace at least nine criteria as outlined by the American Heart Association in the areas of physical activity, nutrition and culture.

Thanks to price-comparison apps, there's no need to guess if you're getting the lowest price. All you need is a smart- phone and some down- loaded apps. Smartphone owners have been using the price-com- parison apps for the past couple of years. But they've improved a lot recently They're faster and easier to use than earlier versions. They've become a bigger threat to retailers who don't want customers using their stores as showrooms. I have been using Ama- zon.com Inc.'s price-check- ing app for a year now and have always found the prices on the app lower than at a store. But I've never tried other popular apps by Google Inc. and eBay Inc. I wanted to see if they could get me to even lower prices. I've been looking to buy a fruit and vegetable juice extractor. It's been costing me nearly $7 for a 20-ounce cup of kale juice at my neighborhood juice bar. I think I can save a lot of money by doing it myself. The target: a Cuisinart juice extractor, because it wasn't too big and looked easy to clean. I saw it at a Bed Bath & Beyond store in New York, where it cost $149.99. I took out my Cuisinart Juice Extractor Stainless-St... From $69.99 online / $149.00 local Online Results cutleryandmore.com Beach Camera.com Abt Electronics Abe's of Maine Buy.com iPhone and started scanning the barcode from the box. I used five different apps. They were all free, and all are available on both iPhone and Android phones. All the prices listed below are for a new Cuisi- nart juice extractor, though some of the apps will give you prices for used or re- conditioned items, too. To find the best deal, I re- alized you need to have more than one of these apps on your phone. Here's the lowest price each app found: Google shopper LOWEST PRICE: $131.99 Google wins for finding the lowest price for the $148.95 $149.00 $149.00 $149.00 $149.00 juicer. I was surprised to find the best price was at a physical store and not online. Macy's had it on sale that day for $131.99. (I went to Macy's to make sure it actually was that price, and it was.) One bonus is the app also makes it easy to call the store or put it on a map if you need directions. Amazon mobile LOWEST PRICE: $135.85 ($124.36, plus $11.49 ship- ping) This app searches for prices only within Amazon. com. It doesn't show any prices for local deals. That said, it had the second-low- est price, even with ship- ping. You do need to have an Amazon account to buy from the app. But if you already have one, purchasing from it is easy, and done in one click Pic2shop LOWEST PRICE: $135.85 ($124.36, plus $11.49 ship- ping) This app found the same price from Amazon and linked to the Amazon web- site. The app does search for nearby store prices, but it wasn't as extensive as the Google app. It only found one physical store price, but it wasn't cheaper than the price available on Amazon. RedLaser LOWEST PRICE: $148.95 This app is owned by eBay Inc., the online mar- ketplace. The lowest price was from an online retailer Even though this app didn't find the best price for the juice machine, it's worth downloading. You can scan in loyalty cards for certain supermarket and drugstore chains, so you hand over your phone to the cashier instead of carrying a bunch of cards. It lets you buy items within the app from retailers such as Toys R Us and Best Buy and also posts coupons. Milo LOWEST PRICE: $149.99 This app is also owned by eBay This app shows prices for brick-and-mortar stores, not online retailers. The lowest price it found for the juice machine was at a Macy's store, but it didn't pick up the sale price of $131.99 like the Google app did. This app matched the price of the item at the Bed Bath & Beyond store, but it's still worth downloading if you are looking to buy some- thing right away and can't wait for it to be shipped. Small business hiring depends on industry Associated Press NEW YORK- If you are trying to figure out if small businesses are hiring, it de- pends on where you look. Just last Friday when the government was raising sus- picious eyebrows with its re- port of a sudden drop in the unemployment rate so close to a presidential election, Andy Asbury was hiring a full-time employee to work at his Min- neapolis real estate brokerage. A For Asbury, the need for a new em- 0 ployee was clear. Sales at his agency, Better Homes & Gardens Real Es- Ai tate Area Leaders, Asl are up 25 percent hired a from a year ago and emp he's expecting since them to rise more have his rea next year as the com housing market continues to improve. He's getting signals from prospective sellers that things are going to get busier and he's gearing up. "People are planting the seeds right now for when they want to make their move," he said. Small businesses employ about half the nation's work force, or 60 million people, so keeping track of how small business owners such as Asbury are faring is key to figuring out if the economy is getting better or worse. There are some encour- aging signs. Asbury and others in the housing and construction industries are feeling confident enough to add workers. So are parts of the manufacturing in- dustry as demand for cars and trucks picks up. Many nm b fi ri ali np companies in the health care field are bringing on new workers as the full im- plementation of the health care overhaul nears and baby boomers age. The September report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the gains. The number of salaried real estate workers has risen by 195,000 in the past 12 months. In the auto in- dustry, including parts makers, em- ployment is up by 51,700, or 7 percent. The BLS doesn't break out employ- ment in health care consulting serv- ices, but hiring at dy management and )ury technical consult- full-time ing services for oyee businesses is up by sales 637,000 or 5.8 estate percent. any.p There's also an often overlooked form of small business hir- ing people who start their own companies and become self- employed. In September, 118,000 did that, according to the Labor Department. But for all the good news, skeptics can find their fair share of evidence to sup- port a gloomier view. Not all small companies are on a hiring spree. Many de- fense contractors are wait- ing to see how much Pentagon spending is cut under what's called se- questration. The budget cuts which may be trig- gered Jan. 2, would come because lawmakers could- n't reach a budget deal - unless Congress stops them. Smaller retailers are holding back because the economy is still so uncertain. MONEY Continued from Page Dl I would talk to the owner next door Since parking is an absolute requisite for a retail business, he may consider buying your house as an addition to his (future) parking lot. The fact that you tried but weren't successful with the zoning and planning board may work to your benefit. Even though the amount of money you receive for your house might not be as large as you would like, at least it would reduce your expenses and responsibilities. You mentioned maintenance expenses are eating you up but that buying another house is out of the question. You should reconsider renting. If things are as tight as you have indicated in your community, there must be rental properties that are available at a very competitive rate. I wish you well. DEAR BRUCE: I understand there is a possibility the capital gains on the sale of a home may increase, to 25 percent from 15 percent, for 2013. Has this become law yet? Should I sell in 2012? I am newly widowed and re- tired, and this is a big chunk on a $500,000 home. PG., via email DEAR PG.: Nobody knows which party will be calling the shots after the November election, and on top of that, what will happen on capital gains is difficult to forecast. I think you are overly concerned, so let me explain. There is a $250,000-per-person profit allowed on a pri- mary residence for everyone. Furthermore, any tax is on the profit from the sale of the house, not on the net pro- ceeds. The expense of any capital improvements you have made over the years would be deducted. You may have to spend some money to fix up the house before selling, and there may be real estate commissions to be paid. These expenses also are subtracted from the sale price. That having been observed, it's unlikely you will have a high tax bill. Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams. com or to Smart Money PO. Box 7150, Hudson, FL 34674.

Calascione said that once again "job seekers will have the opportunity to meet with area employers and explore career opportunities they may not have considered." He noted that the career fair differs from a job fair in that not all employ- ers may be hiring. However, Calas- cione said the fair gives participants the chance to meet face-to-face with recruiters and polish their network- ing, presentation and interpersonal skills and all that can make a valu- able first impression that may help get a foot in the door. Calascione also encourages busi- nesses to participate. "For employers, this Career Fair is an efficient, effective way to deter- mine who might be the best fit for their organization and job openings, whether those openings are available now or in the near future," he said. Workforce Connection will have a staffed computer kiosk set up during the Career Fair to help attendees reg- ister with the Employ Florida Market- place to apply for jobs. There is no charge to attend the Career Fair. For more information, contact Workforce Connection's resource center in In- verness at 352-637-2223 or 800- 434-JOBS. Employed Worker Training (EWT) The Marion Regional Manufactur- ers Association (MRMA), in partner- ship with Workforce Connection, is investing $300,000 to support the train- ing needs of the region's manufactur- ers, fabricators and related industries. Rob Adamiak, MRMA's executive di- rector, notes that the funds may cover up to 100 percent of businesses' out-of- pocket costs to train current workers. The goal, he said, is to build a talent development system for entry-level careers. Training may be provided by a vendor of the business's choice or by certified trainers employed by the company In a unique arrangement, Adamiak was jointly selected by MRMA and Workforce Connection to serve as Workforce's new business develop- ment and training manager assigned to the new pilot program. "MRMA has a close relationship with unique access to manufacturers in Citrus, Levy and Marion counties. We understand the challenges of find- ing and maintaining a trained work- force," said Adamiak, who has more than 20 years experience in the indus- try as a former vice president of man- ufacturing. Adamiak said that his experience enables him to "work closely with each manufacturer to understand their unique workforce requirements and help the training provider in meeting those needs." MRMA serves the manufacturing in- dustry throughout Citrus County, as well as Levy, Marion, Sumter and Alachua counties, and is a member of the Manu- facturers Association of Florida (MAF). Darlene Goddard, chairman of Workforce's board of directors, said it "makes sense" that MRMA and Work- force would join forces in the effort. "Part of (MRMA's) mission is to serve the area manufacturing commu- nity by supporting development of a trained workforce," said Goddard, who is also executive director of human resources for Winco Manufac- turing in Ocala. '"As the regional work- force board, Workforce Connection is likewise invested in helping build a trained workforce. Given the timing, and the current environment, we be- lieve it is in the best interest of our community to develop strong links with the manufacturing sector." Doing so, Goddard noted, will also help close critical skills gaps and is an approach that has worked in other re- gional workforce boards. Employers interested in finding out more about the MRMA-sponsored training program may call Rob Adamiak at 352-840-5764.

Pine needle and leaf litter mulch around each plant moderates soil temperatures and helps maintain soil moisture by shading the amended soil and reducing evaporation. Mulch decomposition re- leases plant growth nutri- ents. Check the plants often and water the soil every day for a week or two. Water trees and shrubs weekly for at least a year until estab- lished. A 4-inch wide con- tainer like a cat food tin placed near the trunk will indicate if enough rain has fallen to avoid watering in summer. Younger trees and shrubs in smaller, less ex- pensive pots take root quicker and soon outgrow larger, root bound speci- mens. A perimeter planting may range from 10 to 20 feet wide as it curves between existing trees and native vegetation. Remove only dead trees like turkey oaks too small for cavity nesting birds to use. A longleafpine looks like a tuft of stiff grass for up to nine years and may have a tap root over 10 feet deep. It cannot be relocated successfully It develops a foot-tall trunk after six to nine years. One with a skinny 6- to 8-foot trunk may be 11 years old!

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Healthy Halloween treats Halloween is a fun and exciting time, especially for kids. Fun can still be had by all, without consuming too many sugary sweets and extra calories. This is an important goal, since the most recent na- tional rates of childhood overweight and obesity are still alarming: U 31.7 percent of children age 2 to 19 are overweight (at or above the 85th per- R centile of Body Mass Index for age growth charts). (Na- tional Health and Nutrition Survey, 2007-08) Monica 16.9 percent of kids in CONS the same age range consid- CONS ered obese (a BMI of SCIE greater than or equal to the 95th percentile).(Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, JAMA, 2012) One way we can make a difference in these statistics and in the lives of young people is to provide healthier treats for Halloween and help chil- dren learn portion control. Parents can help kids manage treats by setting a rule that they can have one piece of candy per day at an agreed upon time.There are many ideas to help you provide healthier treats for your trick- or-treaters. Here are a few of them: Individual packs of baby carrots. Packs of mini-pretzels, shaped like bats and Jack-o- lanterns. Individual pre-sliced apple packs. Mini boxes of raisins. Shelf stable 4-ounce fruit bowls. SShelf stable sugar-free Jell-O. * Consider non-food items, such as Halloween pencils Payne and erasers, Halloween UMER stickers, or small toys. These items add some vari- NCE ety to a trick-or treater's loot.Make these items more festive by tying a black and orange rib- bon around each package and attach- ing a plastic spider ring. If you are hosting a Halloween party, try these ideas provided by Jacqueline Gomes, dietitian on the www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.or g website. She suggests: Veggie and cheese kabobs dec- orate trays with plastic spiders, bats, etc. Fill mini Halloween candy bags with home-made trail mix (combine dried fruits, such as cranberries, apri- cots, and raisins with granola and dark chocolate pieces). Serve 100 percent juice instead of soda. Bake quick breads such as zuc- chini or banana bread and add dried fruits, apples, or pears for extra sweet- ness and nutrients.

Depression-era furniture; sizing up antique powder horns D earJohn: I am a big fan of your show and I am hop- ing you can answer some questions I have had for a long time. My mother recently passed away and I inherited a very old, ornate dining room table that origi- nally belonged to my great-grandmother, who died in 1989 at age 96. My grand- mother remembers it from her childhood in the mid-1920s. We think it is made of wal- John S nut and it includes six SIKOR chairs of the same de- sign as the table five AT1 chairs and one cap- tain's chair. The only distinguish- able markings on the table are a part of the table-leaf, which is stamped 'Jefferson E-Z Table Slide, Manufactured By The Jef- ferson Wood Working Co., Louisville, and Kentucky." I am very proud to own this [ L i, I I and will one day pass it down to my own kids, but I am very curi- ous to find out exactly how old it might be and how much it might be valued. -B.K, Internet Dear B.K: The Jef- ferson E-Z Slide Com- pany was in business in Louisville, Kentucky from 1920 into the 1990s. They manufac- tured a variety of slide openers for various furniture manufactur- ers. The style of your korski set is often referred to SKI'S as Depression Era fur- niture. It consists of IC various style motifs taken from the 17th and 18th centuries combined into a 20th century version. The set could have been manufac- tured by any of a number of com- panies that produced this type of furniture. A lot of it was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Cur- rently there is very little market interest in the style. DearJohn: I am enclosing pho- tographs of some antiques; I would like your opinion as to whether they have any value and who might be interested in them. I acquired both powder horns in 1959 when I traveled with a friend to Mystic, Connecticut, to settle his grandmother's estate and clean out all the remaining furniture. My friend was going to toss all these antiques into a dumpster when I retrieved them and kept them to this day Both powder horns are very fragile, with some cracks in the horns. The lighter-colored horn has a date of 1839 lightly inscribed on it together with a "G" initial on it. See ATTIC/Page E7 Powder horns have long been a specific area of collector interest, though this pair would be low on the totem pole of collector interest. Special to the Chronicle I CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Learn tips to protect plants for winter Master gardener clinics slated for October 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 be- fore, during and after cold weather to protect plants. The remaining sched- ule is: 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.

I Associated Press Grapevines should be pruned once a year while the plants are dormant. Leaves should be stripped from the canopy in summer if they have formed around the fruit, shielding it from the sun. Growing your own grapes can be rewarding, but it's a task that requires time, careful attention DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Grapes are a great backyard choice if you're seeking delicious juice, some wine to savor or snacks fresh from the vine. But look elsewhere if it's low mainte- nance or fast production that you want. Grapevines need a lot of atten- tion and as many as five years to mature from bare root plants. "It's less expensive to do grapes than traditional landscaping like shrubs and flowers from an in- vestment viewpoint," said Tom Powers, author of "The Organic Backyard Vineyard" (Timber Press, 2012). "The trade-out is that you have to put in more mainte- nance time. "Starting a small vineyard also requires planning. Does your pref- erence run to table grapes or wine grapes? American or European cultivars? Do you plan to use chemical pesticides and herbi- cides or go organic? "Whatever you decide, don't let a lack of space stop you," said Powers, who has designed and in- stalled more than 100 vineyards, primarily around the San Fran- cisco Bay Area. "If you are simply hoping to plant some table grapes to enjoy for home consumption, you do not need a vineyard," he said. "You can grow grapevines up an arbor, over a fence or against a wall." Wine grapes, however, should be trained to grow on a trellis. That makes them easier to man- age and allows the sun to reach the leaves, which produces good fruit. "Even a few rows of vines can produce enough grapes to make several hundred bottles of wine every year," Powers said. Here are some additional grape-growing basics: Selection/hardiness: Match the grapes to your climate by knowing how many frost-free days they'll need to ripen, Powers said. Spacing: Vines planted for Page E9 E8 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 Tocklo-n CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE VINEYARDS Continued from Page E8 training on a trellis normally are spaced 8 feet apart, while those planted for training on an arbor can be placed 4 feet apart, said Gary Gao, a small-fruit specialist with Ohio State University Extension. Soil: Most any kind will do, but the best are those combining fertility with good drainage. Sunlight: At least eight hours a day Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide to sugar. This is important, Powers said, because sugars are the basic building blocks of the components giving wine its flavor Pruning: Once a year when the vines are dormant. "What you do for accepted growth in summer is pull leaves," Powers said. Strip any part of the leaf canopy that forms around the fruit. Pest Management: "The first step SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012 E9 is to practice prevention," Powers said. "Choose the right location, pre- pare the soil and select the right root- stock. Maintain the vines properly with adequate water and nutrition. Always use the least toxic method for control of any problem." Growing requirements are much the same no matter which grape va- rieties you choose, Gao said. Most cultivars were developed for a specific use, although you can work with an all-purpose grape like the Concord, he said. "Some will eat it as a table grape but it's not perfect," Gao said. "Oth- ers will use it for juice or a wine. It's not a premium wine but it can be con- sumed. Most would use the Concord for jams or jellies." It probably is best to choose just one variety bred for a specific pur- pose. "Their flavors are more con- centrated," he said. Grapevines require three years, minimum, to produce a harvest, Pow- ers said. "I tell people five years. Growing grapes teaches patience." Rain harvesting with rain barrels Chronicle The Citrus County Florida-Friendly Landscap- ing program has partnered with The Green Footprint of Crystal River to offer rain barrel workshops. Participants help assem- ble their own rain barrel to take home after the class. The first workshops will be from 10:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov 10, at The Green Footprint's new location, 619 N. Citrus Ave., Crystal River The cost per barrel is $45, which in- cludes the necessary spigot and overflow attachment. For each barrel purchased, The Green Footprint do- nates $4 to a scholarship fund for Citrus County stu- dents pursuing a degree in a field that promotes environ- mental conservation, such as environmental science, agriculture, horticulture or other related fields. Call Julie or Tracy at 352- 257-5403 to reserve a spot. Pre-registration is neces- sary Those interested in more green learning may register for the Worm and Tumbler Composting workshop slated for 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 1.
