Truck drives
cargo plane
through area
On Saturday morning,
a C130 Hercules Cargo
plane was transported
from east to west on S.R.
44 across Citrus County.
Expected to start at 7
a.m. in Wildwood, Robert
Brueckner transported
the plane through Citrus
County to Crystal River.
Having caught on fire
in Key West, British Co-
lumbia decided to pur-
chase the cargo plane
and refurbish it. Once it is
refurbished, Canada's
westernmost province
plans to use the older
cargo plane again.
According to Brueck-
ner, his final destination
for Saturday was Ala-
bama. However, his jour-
ney continues through
the United States until he
reaches Canada.
Brueckner is a resident
of New York. However,
his father-in-law, Leslie
Burdick, is a Citrus
County resident.

MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Norman Busche, owner of Nature Coast Outpost on the Chassahowitzka River, said he feels the impact of taking
water from the river will negatively impact the river. "Why would you even tamper with an ecosystem that has been
deemed an Outstanding Florida Waterway?" he said. "This is one of the nicest rivers on the entire west coast of
Florida. It's not huge, but it's beautiful."

Activists urge attendance atfinal vote meeting Tuesday


JIM HUNTER
Special to the Chronicle
For Homosassa resi-
dent Ron Miller, a long-
time Citrus County
environmental activist, it
will be a moment that de-
cides the future of the
Homosassa and Chassa-
howitzka rivers, and he
has put out a call for any
citizens who care about
the rivers to mobilize.
On Tuesday, the re-
gional water district gov-
erning board will
conduct a final adoption
hearing at its headquar-
ters on what Miller calls
the approval of the re-
duced flow plans for the
Homosassa and Chassa-
howitzka rivers.
The Southwest Florida
Water Management Dis-
trict calls it the adoption
of minimum flows and
levels for the rivers,
something being done by
the state's water districts
for all the fresh water


bodies in the state.
The plan says 3 percent
of the flow of the Ho-
mosassa could be taken
before the minimum flow
would be reached. The
plan would allow for 9
percent of the flow of the
Chassahowitzka to be re-
duced. Those levels are
the points at which sig-
nificant impact on the
rivers could occur, ac-
cording to district studies ..
and conclusions.
The minimum flow .
proposed for the Ho-
mosassa had been 5 per-
cent, but intensive
protests and lobbying
from Citrus residents and
groups like the Save the
Homosassa River Al- i .
liance got the water dis-
trict to reassess the flow
and reduce the percent-
age. District officials
most recently said 1 per-
cent would be considered
already used; so, in ef-
fect, the minimum flow

Board to decide

withdrawals

from rivers
A.B. SIDIBE
Staff Writer
To locals and visitors in
the know, the Chassahow-
itzka is the languid river
where paddlers would drift
and the adventuresome
would spelunker in its un-
derwater caves.
The Native Americans
called the riverine area the
land of the hanging pump-
kins, or Chassahowitzka, for
the ubiquitous hanging
gourds that draped the hard-
wood hammock.
Today, the 5-mile-long
river and its tributaries still
beckon, but according to
local residents, the once-
pristine waterway with its
aqua-colored springs is
under threat from a recom-
mendation by the Southwest
Florida Water Management
District (SWFWMD) staff.
The water district's board
of governors is on the verge
of voting on possible changes
to the "Minimum Flows and
Levels" (MFLs) of the Chas-
sahowitzka and Homosassa
rivers. The vote will take
place at a 9 a.m. meeting
Tuesday at the SWFWMD of-
fice in Brooksville.
According to Norm
Busche owner of Nature
Coast Outpost, which in-
structs people on the finer
points of paddling it's
been heartbreaking watch-
ing the gradual deteriora-
tion of the Chassahowitzka
River

growth Cypress is dying all

108 and still feisty


NANCY KENNEDY
Staff Writer
INVERNESS Eleanor
Hartman was still a rela-
tively young woman when
she retired as an elementary
school volunteer in Houston.
She was 100 at the time.
Hartman celebrated her
108th birthday Oct. 19 at
Arbor Trail Rehab and
Nursing Center in Inverness
where she's a resident
Recently, Hartman invited
the Chronicle to hear some
of her stories and take her
picture with her birthday
flowers.
"The newest grandbaby
came," she said of her grand-
daughter's grandchild.
"At my birthday they had a
clown she wiggled a little
bit And two men sang."
At 108, Hartman walks
with the help of a walker.
She spends her days travel-
ing the hallways in her
wheelchair, cheering people
up.
"Some of the people here
are so sad," she said. "So I
tell them hello. If they're
asleep, I give them a push -


not really."
When she still lived in
Houston, she went to Sunday
school and church on Sun-
days at the church across the
street from her house, and
on Monday she volunteered
at various schools. At one
school, they had a class for
young mothers and Hartman
loved to rock the babies.
"I didn't change them or
carry them; I just rocked
them," she said. "I'm not
bragging, but they said I was
the best elementary school
volunteer in the district"
Originally from Crowley,
La., she was 2 years old when
the family moved to Texas.
"We came in a wagon
straight on to Houston and
stopped right across the
street from the Anson Jones
School," she said. "There
was a big write up about it,
but I don't know if it was the
first school in Houston like
they say
"At that time there were
streetcars everywhere, but
most people walked they
didn't have the 10 cents to
ride," she said.

William died in 1969.

StateBRIEFS


Sheriff: 1993
murder solved
MULBERRY- Investigators
say they have solved the 1993
slaying of a pregnant Polk
County woman with the arrest
of her son.
Polk County sheriff's investi-
gators said Friday they have ar-
rested Christopher Shane
Knight, who was 19 when his
39-year-old mother Jahala Wat-
son was stabbed to death. He
remains jailed on second-
degree murder and manslaugh-
ter charges.
Sheriff Grady Judd said the
two constantly fought. Judd
said a witness said the pair was
arguing June 20, 1993. Judd
said Knight ordered the witness
from the home, which quickly
went quiet. Watson was never
seen alive again.
Her body was found two
days later along a road.
Man points laser
at helicopter
ORLANDO -A Florida man
is facing federal charges after
he was arrested for allegedly
pointing a laser at a sheriff's de-
partment helicopter.
Prosecutors said Friday that
23-year-old Dimitry Maksim-
chuk of Orlando shined the
laser into the cockpit of a Semi-
nole County Sheriff's Depart-
ment helicopter in July.
If convicted he faces up to
five years in prison and
$250,000 in fines. The charges
come from a new law enacted
because of a growing number
of incidents in which pilots have
been distracted or temporarily
blinded by lasers.
Maksimchuk's court-
appointed attorney did not im-
mediately respond to an email
seeking comment.
Florida voters
up 6 percent
TALLAHASSEE Florida
has nearly 12 million voters
who will be eligible to vote in
the crucial presidential election.
State officials early Saturday
released new voter registration
numbers showing the number
of active voters has grown
6 percent to a total of about
11.94 million.
President Barack Obama
carried Florida in 2008, but he
is locked in a tight race with
GOP rival Mitt Romney in the
swing state that could decide
the election.
The new registration num-
bers show the gap between
Republicans and Democrats is
smaller than it was in 2008.
There are nearly 536,000
more Democrats than Republi-
cans. There are 4.78 million
Democrats and 4.24 million
Republicans.
The number of voters not af-
filiated with any party, however,
grew at a substantially faster
rate than either major party.
State revenue
tops estimate
TALLAHASSEE Florida's
state general revenue
collections are exceeding
expectations.
A monthly report by the Leg-
islature's Office of Economic
and Demographic Research
shows September's collections
exceeded state economists' es-
timate by $54.6 million, or
2.8 percent.
Cumulative general revenue
collections three months into
the 2012-13 budget year stood
at $162.6 million, or 2.9 per-
cent, over estimate.
The majority of the state's
general revenue comes from
sales tax, which was up by
24 million in September and by
$36.3 million for the budget
year.




TODAY'S



NUMBER


Collections of beverage
taxes, hospital fees, the docu-
mentary stamp tax on real es-
tate transactions and the
intangibles tax also came in
over estimate.
Corporate income tax collec-
tions, though, were under esti-
mate by $6.5 million in
September and $4.7 million for
the year.
Judge OKs boy's
Easter invitations
TAMPA--Afederal judge
says an elementary school was
wrong when it banned a fourth-
grader from passing out invita-
tions to a religious-themed
Easter egg hunt.
U.S. District Judge James D.
Whittlemore issued an injunc-
tion Friday. It came after the
Hillsborough County schools
did not object to an earlier mag-
istrate's ruling the boy's First
Amendment rights had been vi-
olated when his school's princi-
pal barred him from passing out
the invitations.
The boy was not named. His
mother, Kimberly Gilio, con-
tacted Christian legal organiza-
tions, which filed the lawsuit.
The boy had asked permis-
sion last April to distribute the
invitations during a non-
instructional period.
They invited children to the
church-sponsored event where
they could learn "the true
meaning of Easter."

Art's value in eye of beholder


n a recent art heist from
a Dutch museum,
thieves got away with a
Picasso, a Monet, a few
Gauguins and Matisses.
But, fortunately, they didn't
get away with anything of
value.
There is sim-
ply no way to sell
stolen art this fa-
mous. Re-
spectable col-
lectors won't
touch the stuff
and would gladly
turn in the
thieves; the
criminals can't JI
trust disrep- MUL
utable collectors
- no honor
among thieves and all that.
The entire exercise of art
theft is a waste of every-
one's time and money The
paintings are usually recov-
ered; the thieves are ar-
rested, poorer than they
were when they started;
and there's a good chance
the art itself is damaged or
destroyed in the process.
So I wondered to my
artistic friend Lars why a
museum would bother to
hang an original piece of
art. Why not just put a
photo of the painting in a
frame? What's the differ-
ence? We'd still be seeing
the same picture.
Lars was appalled.
"There's nothing like see-


ing the original," he said.
"But modern digital pho-
tography could duplicate
any painting, stroke for
stroke, and even show the
texture of the paint, the tiny
crackling, the overstrokes,"
I explained.
"The museum
* could hang an
exact duplicate.
What's the dif-
ference?"
He explained
to me I was a
bourgeois bar-
barian and a
fool.
M "That's a little
.LEN harsh. 'Exact du-
plicate' may be
redundant, but
lots of smart people say it."
"That's not what I'm talk-
ing about," Lars vented. "An
original painting has value;
the copy does not. No mat-
ter how good it is, the copy
is a counterfeit."
I don't buy it. If a piece of
art is good enough to hang
in a museum, if it's good
enough for you to fly to
Rome or Paris to see, isn't
an inexpensive copy of it in
your home just as good?
Are the colors any differ-
ent? Is the composition any
different? Is the size any
different? Is the inspiration
any different? If you put it
in a gilded frame exactly
like the one in the museum,


could anyone tell the
difference?
The only thing that would
actually be different is the
value. But if price is what
makes a painting worthy,
why don't people simply
hang money on their walls?
"Ohhh, did you see that?
He has $100 million hang-
ing on his living room wall.
Isn't it beautiful? Don't you
love the green color, the
shape of the bills?"
"I hear it's all counterfeit
bills."
"Ewwww! It's the ugliest
thing I've ever seen. How
vulgar The original is soooo
much better!"
When I hear about ex-
perts spending years trying
to figure out if a work by
Leonardo da Vinci is real or
a fake, I have to wonder:
What's the difference? If it
is so similar that even the
experts can't tell after a
week or two whether it's a
fake, it must be pretty good.
What they're arguing
about after that is not art,
but price. Who is bourgeois
now?
If it ever turns out that
"Mona Lisa" in the Louvre
is a fake, will all the mil-
lions of tourists feel duped?
"I went all the way to
Paris to see that piece of
junk? I want my money
back," as if looking at a
work of art behind bullet-,


Me, I like the
fakes. You don't
have to insure
them, and you
don't have to
worry about
someone
stealing them.

bomb-, fire- and theft-proof
glass is better than looking
at a copy
Me, I like the fakes. You
don't have to insure them,
and you don't have to worry
about someone stealing
them.
The only reason people
know all my Picassos, Mon-
ets, van Goghs and Gau-
guins are fake is that they
know I'm not a billionaire.
But even if I were, is that
how I'd spend my money? A
$50 million painting could
send a lot of kids to college,
it could buy a lot of medi-
cine, it could help people
who are out of work, it
could change a lot of lives.
That's something you can't
fake or steal. It's a work of
art.

Volunteers make a difference in one day


Local organizations, businesses tackle projects across county ,


ERYN WORTHINGTON
Staff Writer
Strangers showed up at a park
before the sun even rose. They all
were there for one reason to
volunteer
"When we put a call out to vol-
unteers, our volunteers are the
best anywhere," Nature Coast Vol-
unteer Center Supervisor Laurie
Diestler said. "They step right up."
About 75 pre-registered volun-
teers joined forces Saturday for
the annual Make a Difference Day,
an initiative started by USA Week-
end magazine. Make a Difference
Day is America's largest day of
volunteering, which is every year
on the fourth Saturday of October
"Make a Difference is a contri-
bution day for us to give back to
the community," Withlacoochee
State Trail manager Joe Howard
said. "I think there is no better
way to be a community servant


than to come out and do some-
thing meaningful."
United Way of Citrus County
merged its national Day of Caring
with Make a Difference Day to
focus on the impact volunteers
can have on a community.
"We are always excited to part-
ner with the Nature Coast Volun-
teer Center and the Retired and
(Senior) Volunteer Program on
projects within the community,"
United Way CEO Amy Meek said.
"Today, we are out here at the fit
trail, which is right off of the With-
lacoochee State Trail. It is a great
project for United Way, because
we focus on three main areas: ed-
ucation, income and health."
This year's focus project was to
add mulch, donated by Home
Depot, to the Withlacoochee State
Trail's fitness area in Inverness.
Diestler explained four different
exercise areas off the trail are not
normally used by the public,


which is why mulch was added to
them Saturday
"This exercise area is looking
more inviting now that we have all
of this done," Diestler said.
This year's local organizers were
Nature Coast Volunteer Center and
Retired & Senior Volunteer Pro-
gram, United Way of Citrus County,
Withlacoochee State Trail, Crystal
River Home Depot and Wal-Mart
Supercenter in Inverness.
After completing the fitness
area, volunteers added shrubbery
and mulch around the caboose
near Liberty Park.
"None of them are here for
themselves," Diestler said. "They
are just doing whatever needs to
be done. We want that mindset to
spread like a fever We want peo-
ple to see how much of an internal
reward it is by volunteering.
"If people are looking for a job,
the best thing they can do is come
out and volunteer." she said.

Cadets divulge mission of Civil Air Patrol program


MIKE WRIGHT
Staff Writer
INVERNESS Civil Air
Patrol cadets John Korycki
and Levi Muscott brought
messages to Inverness Mid-
dle School students during
Red Ribbon Week.
The Civil Air Patrol, both
said, provides fun and ex-
citement for children ages
12 to 21.
Korycki, a Citrus High
School junior and Muscott,
who attends the College of
Central Florida, visited
Fairella Cook's business
class as part of Red Ribbon


* WHAT: Civil Air Patrol Citrus County squadron.
* WHEN: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
* WHERE: DAV Building, 1039 N. Paul Drive, Inverness,

* ON THE WEB: Google "Civil Air Patrol Composite
Squadron 315 Florida."


Week. It marked a partner-
ship for the Civil Air Patrol's
Drug Demand Reduction
program and IMS.
Marlene Korycki, the
Drug Demand Reduction of-
ficer, said the Civil Air Pa-
trol, or CAP provides plenty
of opportunity.
"You don't necessarily


have to have an interest in
the Air Force to be part of
CAP" she told students.
The Civil Air Patrol's his-
tory dates back the week be-
fore the Pearl Harbor
attack. Civilians with a love
of aviation volunteered to
defend the country In 1948,
Congress passed a law es-


tablishing the Civil Air Pa-
trol as an auxiliary of the
Air Force. The primary mis-
sion areas are aerospace
education, emergency serv-
ices and cadet programs.
John Korycki, a cadet first
sergeant, attended glider
flying camp in Georgia
where he met CAP cadets
from across the country
"There are cadets from
everywhere that partici-
pate," he said.
Muscott, a second lieu-
tenant, said cadets assist in
emergency situations, such
as hurricane relief.
He described a one-week


boot camp that focused on
leadership and preparation.
He said it's not the same as
a military boot camp.
"It's not quite as long and
it's not quite as harsh," he
said. "It's a lot of fun."
Muscott said he joined
the Civil Air Patrol because
his family has a military his-
tory spanning four decades.
"I wanted to be a fighter
pilot," he said. "I have a lot
of military blood running
through me."

house and put a knife to her
stomach, demanding money
"First he said he wanted
gold, but I tricked him. I did-
n't have my rings on that day
so I told him I didn't have
any gold," she said. "I had a
screen door with a good lock
on it, but he jimmied it. That
knife it was a rusty-look-
ing thing. I didn't know if he
was a dope head or what he
was. He had a coat on and a
mask on his face."
She thinks she was
around 95 at the time. When
she told the man she didn't
have any gold, he demanded
money So she got her purse
and opened up one part of it
and pulled out three one-
dollar bills.
"Ooooh, he was mad," she
said. "He said, 'Don't you got
any more?' I was calm I
wasn't scared. I said, 'Yes,
can't you wait?' On the other
side of my purse I had three
10s and a five.
"I saw him later on the
street," she said. "He used to
ride around on a bicycle
with all kinds of tools. When
he was at my house I said,
'My son will be here in a
while.' That was a lie, be-
cause I didn't have a son."
Hartman came to Florida
four years ago after a fall in-
jured her leg. Her grand-
daughter lives nearby
Hartman said she's look-
ing forward to the upcoming
elections. She always votes,
although she said she's nei-
ther a Republican nor a De-
mocrat.
"I liked Roosevelt he
was the first president I ever
voted for," she said. "I liked
Carter, although a lot of peo-


ple didn't. I liked the one
that was from Missouri (Tru-
man), but I can't remember
his name. You know, the one
who had a daughter who
thought she could sing. That
was when the Depression
was real bad, but he helped
get us out of it."
As for living a long,
healthy life, she said her ad-
vice is simple: "Use common


sense! Get up early and go to
bed early The first thing you
do, eat plenty of fruits and
vegetables. You can eat
meat, but get mostly fruits
and vegetables.
"I never smoked, never
drank My husband didn't ei-
ther," she said. "Pay your
bills, if you can. Treat other
people as you wish to be
treated. That's important"

against significantly harmful
withdrawal to water resources
or the ecology of an area.
The agency has set a 15 per-
cent threshold for significant
harm.
Leeper said the agency col-
lected the best available data
and coupled it with the opin-
ions of peer review panels -
one for each river before
coming up with the recom-
mendations.
The peer review panels
were comprised of independ-
ent scientists "who looked at
the data and were found to be
reasonable."
Leeper added the district
has used the same approach
it is using now in Chassahow-
itzka and Homosassa to pro-
tect other water resources.
Furthermore, he said when
SWFWMD first came out with
MFL proposals for the two
rivers in 2010, the percentage
of flow reductions were
higher than they are cur-
rently Leeper said if the pro-
posals are adopted by the
board, the issue could be re-
visited in a decade and "all of
the data at that time will be
considered."
He said numerous input
sessions were conducted with
stakeholders and members of
the public. Leeper said what
was gleaned from those ses-
sions was combined with "ad-
ditional science approach" to
come to the current proposal.
Proposals the governing
board will vote on Tuesday are:


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Chassahowitzka River
System, up to a 9 percent re-
duction in flows. According to
SWFWMD, existing with-
drawals have reduced flows
by 1 percent, meaning this
new minimum flow would
allow an additional 8 percent
reduction. The previous pro-
posal sought an 11 percent re-
duction in flows.
Homosassa River System,
up to 3 percent reduction in
flows. Again, because existing
withdrawals have reduced
flows by 1 percent, according
to SWFWMD, this new mini-
mum flow would allow an ad-
ditional 2 percent reduction.
The previous proposal was
for a 5 percent reduction in
flows.
"We've had an extensive
public input process over the
last several years," Leeper
said. "As a result of that
process, the revised mini-
mum flows are more protec-
tive and based on the best
data available."
"We will present the staff
recommendations to the gov-
erning board on Tuesday and it
will be up to the board to make
the final decision," he added.
Florida Springs
Institute
Dr. Bob Knight, of the H.T
Odum Florida Springs Insti-
tute, said while he is not op-
posed to MFLs in theory,
these proposals are flawed.
"If they are saying we are
currently at 1 percent and
that is meeting the water
needs of the communities
around the rivers, why go up
8 percent in one river and up
3 percent in another?" Knight


queried.
He said if SWFWMD ab-
solutely has to set MFLs, why
not add only an extra percent
to account for growth in de-
mand. He said by SWFWMD's
own analysis, a 1 percent re-
duction in both rivers should
provide adequate groundwa-
ter availability for another 20
to 40 years.
The institute's website
states its mission is to provide
a focal point for improving
the understanding of springs
ecology and foster the devel-
opment of science-based edu-
cation and management
actions needed to restore and
protect springs throughout
Florida.
Knight said as it stands
right now, water consumption
in the district is 1.1 billion gal-
lons of water per day (gpd).
He said if you add the St.
Johns and Suwannee river
districts, the water use jumps
to 2.6 billion gpd. Knight said
in those three water districts
4.7 billion gpd have been allo-
cated through permitting.
"What I would like to see is
for us stop issuing new per-
mits," he said. "While I am
not advocating a moratorium
on permitting, I would like to
see a system where we hold
things where they are and
reuse permits. A lot of the
state's springs and rivers are
stressed and need time to re-
cover. We think all develop-
ment should be more
conservative. We don't need
to make things worse."

would be 2 percent.
Still, any allowed reduction would be
too much, according to Miller and oth-
ers who are dismayed at how the rivers'
environments and their head-springs
have been degraded in recent times.
In a statement as the vice president of
the alliance, he said: "Small spring
water flow reductions destroy the fresh-
water-salt water balance that is funda-
mental to the estuarine web of life. We
all know these rivers and springs are al-
ready highly stressed, and the removal
of more water will lead to their
destruction.
"But no matter. The march to destroy
the aquifer plows on."
Opponents of the minimum flow say
the computer models used to figure the
minimums are badly flawed.
For one thing, Miller said, "There is a
real problem with measuring it in a
tidal influenced river"
This region's coastal springs and
rivers are distressed already, he said,
and environmental changes already
show impact of reduced flow.
"They should set and cap the mini-
mum at zero where the level is now,"
Miller said.
Brad Rimbey, a Chassahowitzka resi-
dent who has been fighting the mini-
mum flows proposed for the
Chassahowitzka River, said the water
district touts the science behind its pro-
posal. "They don't have sufficient data
sets to come to a meaningful
conclusion."
In addition to having insufficient
data, he said, the district does not com-
pletely understand the river systems,
how they work with all the influences
on them.
"Look at the degradation that has al-
ready occurred in the river," he said.


"They don't have a clue."
In addition, he said, both rivers are
designated as Outstanding Florida Wa-
ters and allowing anything to increase
saltwater intrusion would be degrading
an OFW, which is illegal. The district, he
said, contends the OFW designation
only applies to point-source pollution,
but he disagrees.
He also cites the anti-degradation
provisions of Florida law that were
adopted pursuant to the Federal Clean
Water Act and said these protections
must be applied in the minimum flows
process.
Finally, he asked, how can the district
reduce the minimum flow number for
the Homosassa and not the Chassahow-
itzka? While he is not a hydrologist, he
is a registered engineer and said he un-
derstands their modeling and it doesn't
work.
"I don't buy much of their science," he
said.
Rimbey and Miller said it makes a dif-
ference when large amounts of people
show up to protest measures locals are
against. He said 110 people came to the
last hearing, which was in Lecanto. This
time, more Citrus residents and officials
who are concerned are needed to pro-
tect the future of the rivers.
Miller said the county commissioners,
though seeming sympathetic individu-
ally, have not endorsed the residents de-
mand the current river flows be the
minimum flows, but he would welcome
their support.
Tuesday's meeting will be in the gov-
erning board room of the district's head-
quarters, which is on the west side of
U.S. 41, about seven miles south of
Brooksville, just south of the airport.
The address of the headquarters is 2379
Broad St. (U.S. 41).
The approval agenda is early in the
meeting. Miller said anyone going
should be in the board room at 9 a.m.
sharp.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Director: Minimum flows will protect river systems


MARK HAMMOND
Special to the Chronicle
In recent weeks, there have
been a number of articles
concerning the setting of
minimum flows and levels
(MFLs) for the Chassahowitzka
and Homosassa river systems.
State law requires minimum
flows and levels to be set for
rivers, streams, estuaries and
springs and identify the limit
beyond which further with-
drawals will significantly harm
the water resources or ecology
of the area.
For the past seven years, sci-
entists with the Southwest
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict have been studying the
Chassahowitzka and Ho-
mosassa river systems to deter-
mine these thresholds. During
the district's analyses, the most
sensitive indicators were used
- manatee habitat for the Chas-
sahowitzka River and salinity
habitat for the Homosassa
River. Scientists also used data


Guest COLUMN

and methodologies consistent
with previously set MFLs. This
method was reviewed by an in-
dependent panel of scientists
and was determined to be sci-
entifically sound.
Further studies considered
existing water withdrawals, fu-
ture sea level rise and effects of
potential flow changes on water
quality. The District's updated
minimum flow recommenda-
tions for the Chassahowitzka
and Homosassa river systems
are now more protective than
previous proposals and will en-
sure future water withdrawals
do not harm these precious re-
sources.
In addition, district staff con-
sidered extensive public input
throughout this process through
a number of workshops, Gov-
erning Board meetings and
nearly two dozen meetings with
community groups and other in-
terested stakeholders.


The MFL recommendations
for the Chassahowitzka and Ho-
mosassa river systems are based
on science, and it is the district's
intent to comply with its statu-
tory requirements as well as
balance the needs of all water
users while protecting the river
systems.
The district's Governing
Board will vote on these MFLs
at their meeting Tuesday, Oct.
30. For information, visit Water
Matters.org/SpringsCoastMFL.

management division director
for the Southwest Florida

Zombies to invade US


Marines, police

prep for mock
attack Oct. 31

Associated Press
SAN DIEGO Move over
vampires, goblins and
haunted houses, this kind of
Halloween terror aims to
shake up even the toughest
warriors: An untold number
of so-called zombies are
coming to a counterterror-
ism summit attended by
hundreds of Marines, Navy
special ops, soldiers, police,
firefighters and others to
prepare them for their
worst nightmares.
"This is a very real exer-
cise, this is not some type of

Brad Barker, president of
Halo Corp, a security firm
hosting the Oct. 31 training
demonstration during the
summit at a 44-acre Para-
dise Point Resort island on
a San Diego bay "Every-
thing that will be simulated

Hundreds of military, law
enforcement and medical
personnel will observe the
Hollywood-style production
of a zombie attack as part of
their emergency response
training.
In the scenario, a VIP and
his personal detail are
trapped in a village, sur-
rounded by zombies when a
bomb explodes. The VIP is
wounded and his team must
move through the town
while dodging bullets and
shooting back at the invad-
ing zombies. At one point,
some members of the team
are bit by zombies and must
be taken to a field medical
facility for decontamination
and treatment.

Nation BRIEFS


Alabama constitution: Vote
looms on amending history
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Segregation ended
decades ago in Alabama, swept away by the
civil rights marchers who faced down police dogs
and fire hoses in the early '60s. But segregation
is still mandated by the state's constitution, and
voters on Nov. 6 will get only their second
chance in years to eliminate an anachronism
that still exists on paper.
Amendment 4 the proposal to delete the
constitution's archaic language affirming segre-
gation is tucked amid routine issues of sew-
ers, bonds and city boundaries on a crowded
Election Day ballot. It's a striking call to see if Al-
abama will repeat what it did in 2004, when resi-
dents narrowly voted to keep the outdated and
racially controversial language, bringing national
ridicule upon the state.
The second time won't be any easier than the
first, because Alabama's two largest black politi-


"No one knows what the
zombies will do in our sce-
nario, but quite frankly no
one knows what a terrorist
will do," Barker said. "If a
law enforcement officer
sees a zombie and says,
'Freeze, get your hands in
the air!' What's the zombie
going to do? He's going to
moan at you. If someone on
PCP or some other psy-
chotic drug is told that, the
truth is he's not going to
react to you."
The keynote speaker be-
forehand will be a retired
top spook former CIA Di-
rector Michael Hayden.
"No doubt when a zombie
apocalypse occurs, it's going
to be a federal incident, so
we're making it happen,"
Barker said. Since word got
out about the exercise,
they've had calls from "every
whack job in the world"
about whether the U.S. gov-
ernment is really preparing
for a zombie event
Called "Zombie Apoca-
lypse," the exercise follows
the federal Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Preven-
tion's campaign launched
last year that urged Ameri-
cans to get ready for a zom-
bie apocalypse, as part of a
catchy, public health mes-
sage about the importance
of emergency preparedness.


cal groups are urging a "no" vote. They say the
proposed changes would wipe out some racially
charged language, but would retain segregation-
era language saying there is no constitutional
right to a public education in Alabama.
Gun found inside book donated
to Indiana library
VALPARAISO, Ind. -An employee at a
northwest Indiana library found a gun inside a
hollowed-out book donated to the branch.
The Times of Munster reported Saturday police
in Valparaiso are holding the gun as evidence.
Assistant Library Director Phyllis Nelson said
an employee at the Valparaiso branch of the
Porter County Public Library discovered the
antique-looking firearm when she opened the
book earlier this week.
Police describe the weapon as a gold, wooden
handled, 31-caliber, single shot, black powder gun.
Police have determined the gun was not stolen.

Romney woos Florida; Obama heads north


Candidates

keep pace in

final l0 days

Associated Press
PENSACOLA, Fla. -Jug-
gling politics and storm
preparations, Mitt Romney
dangled a plea for biparti-
sanship before early voters
in Florida on Saturday as
Barack Obama worked to
nail down tiny New Hamp-
shire's four electoral votes.
Both campaigns scrambled
to steer clear of a most un-
likely October surprise, a
superstorm barreling up the
East Coast.
With just 10 days left in an
extraordinarily tight race,
Hurricane Sandy had both
campaigns ripping up care-
fully mapped-out itineraries
as they worked to maximize
voter turnout and avoid any
suggestion they were put-
ting politics ahead of public
safety
The campaigns pressed
every possible angle in
search of advantage -
even paying attention to
punctuation.
Obama's campaign signs
for months have said: "For-
ward." Now they say: "For-
ward!"
Romney, who has been
striking a more moderate
tone as he courts women
and independents in the
campaign's home stretch,
campaigned across Florida
with a pledge to "build
bridges" with the other
party.
He coupled that message
with digs at Obama for
"shrinking from the magni-
tude of the times" and ad-
vancing an agenda that
lacks vision. Noting Obama
supporters like to chant
"four more years" at the
president's campaign ral-
lies, Romney picked up on
his crowd's own chant at the
Pensacola Civic Center and
said: "I like '10 more days' a
lot better."
His warm-up act was

more biting: Sen. Marco
Rubio, R-Fla., told the
crowd Obama was advanc-
ing "the ideas of countries
that people come here to get
away from." Pressed later
on what countries he was
referring to, Rubio said,
"any big-government coun-
try in the world" and specif-
ically referred to Mexico
and Latin America.
Obama hauled his cam-
paign to New Hampshire,
where he told volunteers at
a Teamsters hall in Man-
chester that: "We don't know
how this thing is going to
play out. These four elec-
toral voters right here could
make all the difference."
It takes 270 electoral votes
to win the election. Obama
is ahead in states and the
District of Columbia repre-
senting 237 electoral votes;
Romney has a comfortable
lead in other states with 191
electoral votes. The rest lie
in nine contested states that
are too close to call, New
Hampshire among them.
The president adjusted
his campaign speech at a
Nashua rally to appeal to
voters in low-tax New
Hampshire, hammering
Romney for raising taxes
and fees as governor of
neighboring Massachusetts.
Obama accused Romney
of running in Massachusetts
on a pledge to lower taxes,

after taking office.
"All he's offering is a big
rerun of the same policies,"
Obama told a crowd of 8,500
gathered at an outdoor rally
on an unseasonably warm
October day
The president said Rom-
ney even raised fees in Mas-
sachusetts on obtaining a
birth certificate, "which
would have been expensive
for me." It was a veiled ref-
erence to opponents of the
president who have incor-
rectly said he was born out-
side the United States.
Copies of his birth certificate
have been in high demand.


The candidates worked to
lock down every possible
early vote without intruding
on emergency preparations
as the storm's expected
track looked to affect at least
four battleground states:
North Carolina, Virginia,
Ohio and New Hampshire.
Romney scrapped plans
to campaign in Virginia on
Sunday, and switched his
schedule for the day to Ohio.
At a rally in Kissimee, Fla.,
he urged supporters to keep
those in the storm's path "in
your mind and in your
hearts."
"You know how tough
hurricanes can be," he told
the Floridians.


Vice President Joe Biden
canceled a Saturday rally in
coastal Virginia Beach, Va.,
to allow local officials there
to focus on disaster pre-
paredness and local secu-
rity concerns.

LAKEWOOD CREST, Fla.
- The 12-year-old daughter
of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
has been airlifted to Miami
Children's Hospital after a
Saturday motor vehicle
accident.
The Republican senator
was notified of the accident
while coming off stage after
a rally with GOP presidential

Saturday afternoon.
A Rubio spokesman re-
ports that the girl is in stable

Vote Nancy Argenziano


American.


Independent.


"Citizens over party, over self-serving leadership,

over hidden agendas. That is my history, my

practice, and my pledge to you."




Citizens and Groups Endorsing Nancy:

Nurses; Teachers; The Tampa Bay Times; Firefighters;
Law Enforcement and Corrections Officers; The
Hernando Today; FLARA Retired Americans; The
Citrus County Chronicle; The Florida Consumer Action
Network; Healthcare and Public Service Workers; State
Workers; Taxed Enough Already Conservatives; The
Independent Party; IBEW Electrical Workers; State
Troopers; Working Americans.


Stand-up
Let me tell you about Nancy Argenziano. I met her when I was a news
reporter covering the legislature for Bay News 9. I covered the state
capital for years and I have seen a lot of lawmakers up close and
personal. Most will SAY they want to work for the people, but Nancy
actually does it! She is the real deal. In all of my years of closely
watching what REALLY happens in Tallahassee, I have rarely seen a
public servant with Nancy's commitment to the little guy and what is
best for everyday Floridians. With Nancy, special interests do not have
a shot and neither do fancy lobbyists or powerful politicians. First
hand, I have seen Nancy stand up to the Governor, the Speaker of the
House, her party's own leadership whenever their political deals hurt
the citizens of Florida. I saw her fight them repeatedly. And I saw her
pay the price for crossing them too. But Nancy's moral compass was
too strong to be swayed by political expediency, opportunism or
money. Voters always SAY they want an honest representative in
government; a straight-shooter who will work for THEM.
Well, this is your shot. Nancy Argenziano is a true PUBLIC servant.
Smart. Courageous. Unfailingly honest with integrity for miles.
Believe me when I tell you that she is a rare find in Tallahassee. You
folks are crazy if you don't elect her.

Representative


We should all be
thankful that we have
Nancy Argenziano
running for office again.
She is one of the few
politicians who do their
job, representing the
people. She's not in it
for what the lobbyist
can do for her!

Thank you Nancy,

Anna Parker


Experienced


Nancy thinks for herself and reaches
across the aisle. She goes up against
the big guys for us when necessary
with courage and conviction. Her
dedication is unending and she has
the experience that we are now
lacking in Tallahassee.

Sally Van Osdell

I've known and admired Nancy's
performances in the Legislature and
the Public Service Commission over
these last years; she is the most
honest, hard-working representative
we have had during these troublesome
times, and the most outspoken head of
the Public Service Commission.

Welcome home














Special to the Chronicle
Operation Welcome Home (OWH) conducted a ceremony Sept. 29 to honor Lance Cpl.
Lance Fagan returning from a tour at Camp Dwyer, Helmand Province, Afghanistan,
with the Marine Corps' 1st Maintenance Battalion 1st Supply Company Rein. Rather
than conduct the ceremony at a local veterans' club in the usual fashion, Crystal
River's Liquid Lagoon threw a welcome home party for Fagan. Most Citrus County vet-
erans' organizations were represented and presented him with items honoring his serv-
ice. OWH President Barbara Mills presented a large basket filled with gift cards and
other items donated by local businesses and private citizens. Fagan will be assigned
in his final year of service at Camp Pendleton, Calif., and after discharge plans to re-
turn to Citrus County to attend the Law Enforcement Academy and become a Citrus
County Deputy Sheriff. OWH always needs gift cards and monetary donations to allow
the organization to continue its program. To donate or learn more about OWH and
how to help, call Barbara Mills at 352-422-6236, or email John Stewart at
cornhusker69@yahoo.com.

P"jayers Syrian holiday truce in tatters
Prayers


Bombs, gunfire

end cease-fire
Associated Press
BEIRUT -A Syrian war-
plane flattened a three-story
building, suspected rebels
detonated a deadly car
bomb and both sides traded
gunfire in several hotspots
across the country Saturday,
activists said, leaving a U.N.-
backed holiday truce in tat-
ters on its second day


Associated Press
A Bangladeshi Muslim child
offers prayers to mark Eid
al-Adha on Saturday in
Kishoreganj, north of
capital Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Eid-al-Adha, or the Feast of
the Sacrifice, is celebrated
to commemorate the
prophet Ibrahim's faith in
being willing to sacrifice his
son.


Panicking cow kills
Palestinian
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -
A panicking cow killed a
Palestinian man who was try-
ing to slaughter the beast on
Saturday during the Muslim
celebration of Eid al-Adha, a
Gaza health official said.
Muslims around the world
slaughter sheep, cows and
goats during the four-day hol-
iday that began Friday to
commemorate the sacrifice
by their Prophet Ibrahim -
known to Christians and Jews
as Abraham.
But accidents are common
as people frequently buy ani-
mals to slaughter at home in-
stead of relying on professional
butchers.

Protest



Ioll.


Associated Press
Protesters shout slogans
against austerity measures
announced by the Spanish
government as they march
to Parliament on Saturday
in Madrid, Spain. Spain's
public finances have been
overwhelmed by the cost of
rescuing some of its banks
and regional governments.
One Spaniard in four is
unemployed.

Lebanese PM
won't resign
BEIRUT Lebanon's prime
minister said his resignation is
"out of the question" after rais-
ing the possibility following the
assassination of a top intelli-
gence official last week.
Many in Lebanon blamed
Syria and its Lebanese ally
Hezbollah for the Oct. 19 car
bomb attack that killed the in-
telligence chief. Lebanon's
opposition has demanded the
resignation of Mikati's
Hezbollah-dominated govern-
ment, saying it is too cozy
with the Syrian regime.
AI-Qaida leader
urges kidnapping
CAIRO The leader of al-
Qaida has urged Muslims to
kidnap Westerners to ex-
change for imprisoned ji-
hadists, including a blind
cleric serving a life sentence
in the United States for a
1993 plot to blow up New
York City landmarks.
In an undated two-hour
videotape posted this week
on militant forums, the
Egyptian-born jihadist Ayman
al-Zawahri also urged sup-
port for Syria's uprising and
called for the implementation
of Islamic Shariah law in
Egypt.
He said abducting nation-
als of "countries waging wars
on Muslims" is the only way
to free "our captives, and
Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman,"
the Egyptian cleric.
-From wire reports


The unraveling of the
cease-fire marked the latest
setback to ending Syria's
civil war through diplomacy
Foreign military interven-
tion is unlikely, raising the
grim prospect of a drawn-
out war of attrition between
President BasharAssad and
those trying to topple him.
The proposed four-day
truce during the Muslim
holiday of Eid al-Adha had
been a long shot from the
start since international me-
diator Lakhdar Brahimi
failed to get solid commit-


ments from all combatants.
Fighting dropped off in the
first hours of the cease-fire
Friday, but by the end of the
day, activists said 151 people
had been killed in bombings
and shootings, a standard
daily toll in Syria.
On Saturday, the first
regime airstrike since the
start of the truce reduced a
three-story building in the
Arbeen suburb of the capi-
tal, Damascus to rubble,
killing at least eight men,
said the Britain-based Syr-
ian Observatory for Human


Rights, which compiles re-
ports from activists.
In the remote eastern
town of Deir el-Zour, as-
sailants detonated a car
bomb near a military police
compound, then opened fire
at those rushing to the
scene, killing a total of eight
people and causing exten-
sive damage, the Observa-
tory said. Syrian media
denied there were casual-
ties. The attack bore the
hallmarks of Jabhat al-
Nusra, a radical rebel-allied
Islamic group that has re-


jected the cease-fire.
The Syrian air force also
bombed rebel positions Sat-
urday during a fierce battle
for control over the main
road linking Aleppo, Syria's
largest city, with the capital,
activists said. Earlier this
month, rebels seized Maaret
al-Numan, a town along the
highway and besieged a
nearby military base, dis-
rupting regime supplies to
embattled Aleppo. The Syr-
ian air force has responded
with sustained bombing
raids on area villages.


Weather WATCH




When storms collide


Superstorm threat

launches mass

evacuations
Associated Press
SHIP BOTTOM, N.J. Forget
distinctions like tropical storm or
hurricane. Don't get fixated on a
particular track. Wherever it hits,
the rare behemoth storm inex-
orably gathering in the eastern
U.S. will afflict a third of the
country with sheets of rain, high
winds and heavy snow, say offi-
cials who warned millions in
coastal areas to get out of the way
"We're looking at impact of
greater than 50 to 60 million peo-
ple," said Louis Uccellini, head
of environmental prediction for
the National Oceanic and Atmos-
pheric Administration.
As Hurricane Sandy barreled
north from the Caribbean -
where it left nearly five dozen
dead to meet two other power-
ful winter storms, experts said it
didn't matter how strong the storm
was when it hit land: The rare hy-
brid storm that follows will cause
havoc across 800 miles from the
East Coast to the Great Lakes.
"This is not a coastal threat
alone," Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency director Craig
Fugate said. "This is a very large
area."
New Jersey was set to close its
casinos this weekend, New York's
governor was considering shut-
ting down the subways to avoid
flooding and half a dozen states
warned residents to prepare for
several days of lost power.
Sandy weakened briefly to a
tropical storm early Saturday but
was soon back up to Category 1
strength, packing 75 mph winds


Associated Press
A worker boards up the windows of a store Saturday as Hurricane Sandy approaches in Ocean City, Md.


about 335 miles southeast of
Charleston, S.C., as of 5 p.m. Ex-
perts said the storm was most
likely to hit the southern New
Jersey coastline by late Monday
or early Tuesday
Governors from North Car-
olina, where heavy rain was ex-
pected Sunday, to Connecticut
declared states of emergency
Delaware ordered mandatory
evacuations for coastal commu-
nities by 8 p.m. Saturday
New Jersey's Chris Christie,
who was widely criticized for not
interrupting a family vacation in


A satellite image of Sandy is seen Saturday at the National Hurricane
Center in Miami. Early Saturday, the storm was about 335 miles


southeast of Charleston, S.C.


Florida while a snowstorm pum-
meled the state in 2010, broke off
campaigning for Mitt Romney to
return home.
"I can be as cynical as anyone,"
the pugnacious chief executive
said in a bit of understatement
Saturday "But when the storm
comes, if it's as bad as they're
predicting, you're going to wish
you weren't as cynical as you oth-
erwise might have been."
In Ship Bottom, just north of
Atlantic City, Alice and Giovanni
Stockton-Rossini spent Saturday
packing clothing in the backyard,


a few hundred yards from the
ocean on Long Beach Island.
Their neighborhood was under a
voluntary evacuation order, but
they didn't need to be forced.
"It's really frightening," Alice
Stockton-Rossi said. "But you
know how many times they tell
you, 'This is it, it's really coming
and it's really the big one' and
then it turns out not to be? I'm
afraid people will tune it out be-
cause of all the false alarms be-
fore, and the one time you need
to take it seriously, you won't.
This one might be the one."


5 REASONS WHY SANDY IS
EXPECTED TO BE SUPERSTORM
1. A NORTHBOUND HURRICANE: Hurricane Sandy is moving
slowly toward the north-northeast and is expected to continue
its current path parallel to the Carolinas over the weekend. It's
expected to become an extratropical storm, which are systems
driven by temperature contrasts in the atmosphere.
2. EARLY WINTER STORM: Sandy is expected to merge with a
wintry system from the west, at which point it will become the
powerful superstorm.
3. ARCTIC AIR FROM THE NORTH: Frigid air coming south from
Canada is expected to collide with Sandy and the wintry storm
from the west, creating a megastorm.
4. HIGH TIDES COULD WORSEN FLOODING: A full moon means
the tides will be higher than usual, which will make it easier for
the storm's powerful winds to push water into low-lying areas.
5. COMBO OF SNOW, WIND INCREASES RISK FOR WIDE-
SPREAD POWER OUTAGES: Hurricane-force winds of 74 mph
could send tree branches into power lines, or even topple entire
trees and power poles. Those left standing could succumb to
snow, which could weigh down still-leafy branches enough to
also topple trees.

Caribbean cleans up after Sandy f]


At least 58 dead

afterHurricane
Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
- The Caribbean death toll
from Hurricane Sandy rose
again sharply Saturday,
even as the storm swirled
away toward the U.S. East
Coast. Officials said the hur-
ricane system has cost at
least 58 lives in addition to
destroying or badly damag-
ing thousands of homes.


While Jamaica, Cuba and
the Bahamas took direct
hits from the storm, the ma-
jority of deaths and most ex-
tensive damage was in
impoverished Haiti, where
it has rained almost non-
stop since Tuesday
The official death toll in
Haiti stood at 44 Saturday,
but authorities said that
could rise. The country's
ramshackle housing and de-
nuded hillsides are espe-
cially vulnerable to flooding
when rains come.
"This is a disaster of
major proportions," Prime


Minister Laurent Lamothe
told The Associated Press.
"The whole south is under
water"
He said the death toll
jumped Saturday because it
was the first day that au-
thorities were able to go out
and assess the damage,
which he estimated was in
the hundreds of millions of
dollars, the bulk of it in lost
crops.
Nineteen people are re-
ported injured and another
12 are missing, according to
Haiti's Civil Protection
Office.

Dear Annie: When my
son married six
years ago, my wife
and I welcomed his bride
into our family with open
arms. I knew my daughter-
in-law had views that were
much different from mine,
but I was confident that we
could coexist. I
helped them
with projects in
their new home,
and we got along
rather well. We
attended din-
ners and get-to-
gethers at their
house.
The waters got
rather rough
when I discov-
ered she had
written a letter ANN
to the editor in MAIL
our local paper
that contra-
dicted my beliefs and prin-
ciples.
I brought up the subject
with my son, and it led to a
lengthy argument. I cer-
tainly recognize that we are
privileged in this great
country to be able to ex-
press ourselves openly, but I
believe there is such a thing
as propriety.
I considered the letter a
personal affront, and it ulti-
mately caused alienation.
My son did not even wish
me a happy Father's Day or
acknowledge my birthday
this past year.
I told my son I am willing
to talk about the situation
anytime they want, but so
far they have declined.
What is your opinion? -
Dad
Dear Dad: We think you
took something personally

Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE -
Georgia's defense was far
from soft against rival
Florida.
And now the Gators are
no longer undefeated and
no longer in charge in the
Southeastern Conference's
Eastern Division.
The 12th-ranked Bull-
dogs stuffed No. 3 Florida
from every angle, forcing
six turnovers in a 17-9 vic-
tory Saturday that left
them on the cusp of the
SEC championship game.
Call it the World's
Largest Outdoor Turnover
Party, and it gave Georgia
consecutive wins in the se-
ries for the first time since
1989. These have to be two
of the most significant vic-
tories of coach Mark


Richt's tenure.
The Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1
Southeastern Conference)
can clinch the East and a
spot in the conference title
game with wins against
Mississippi and Auburn
the next two weeks.
If they play defense like
they did against Florida,
getting to Atlanta should be
a mere formality.
The Bulldogs did little
on offense until Aaron
Murray found Malcolm
Mitchell for a 45-yard
touchdown with 7:11 re-
maining that put them
ahead 17-9. Mitchell spun
out of Loucheiz Purifoy's
tackle attempt and went
mostly untouched the rest
of the way Florida kept the
drive alive with Do-
minique Easley's holding
penalty on third down.


Georgia sealed its fifth
victory in the last 23 games
in the rivalry with what
else? a defensive play
Jarvis Jones knocked the
ball out of Jordan Reed's
hands near the goal line,
and teammate Sanders
Commings recovered in
the end zone with 2:05 left.
Jones had another huge
game against Florida (7-1,
6-1). The senior, who had
four sacks in last year's 24-
20 victory, finished with 13
tackles, three sacks and

State defense that leads the ACC
in virtually all categories.
Duke coach David Cutcliffe said
after the game Renfree would be
further evaluated by medical per-
sonnel, but still wasn't feeling very
good after the game.
Florida State, which has an
open date before returning to ac-
tion Nov 8 at Virginia Tech, is un-
beaten in 18 games against Duke
and has won by 19 or more points
in each of those games. It became

Giants try


to extend


W.S. lead

Note: Game 3 of

MLB's World

Series not available

atpress time

Associated Press
DETROIT Frost coming off
their breath, Pablo Sandoval and
the San Francisco Giants finished
their workout at Comerica Park,
headed back to the clubhouse
and pulled off their hooded
sweatshirts and parkas.
Halfway to a championship,
they weren't about to let a little
chill bother them.
"The cold weather, obviously
we're going to have to deal with,"
pitcher Ryan Vo-
gelsong said Fri-
day "But it's the
World Series."
The Giants ,
take a 2-0 lead '
over the Detroit / -
Tigers into Game
3 on Saturday
night, with Vogel- Iigue
song set to start Cabrera
against Anibal TigersTriple
Sanchez. Tigers' Triple
anchez.l Crown winner.
Vogelsong has
been a postseason ace so far this
month, going 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA
in three starts. Facing tempera-
tures that could drop into the low
30s was hardly a problem for him.
"I don't suspect that cold
weather is going to be much of an
issue. If I am thinking about how
cold it is, it means I'm not think-
ing about what I'm doing on the
mound," he said.
For Triple Crown winner
Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder
and the Tigers, something better
change real soon besides the
weather or their year is going to
end real shortly They totaled
only three runs and 10 hits while
losing twice in San Fanacisco.
The Tigers are hoping a switch
in scenery the ivy hanging on
the center-field backdrop at Com-
erica has turned to autumn colors
since the AL championship se-
ries and a flip in pitchers
might help.
Throttled by left-handed
starters Barry Zito and Madison
Bumgarner at AT&T Park, the
Tigers are eager to see the right-
handed Vogelsong. Any right-
hander, in fact: Detroit batted .275

Whopper of a catch


Citrus County girl

catches big bonefsh

Special to the Chronicle
AnnaBelle Touchton, an 8-year-old
Citrus County resident, caught a 7-pound
bonefish approximately 19 3/4 inches
long near the Inglis area on Sept 1.
Touchton was on a four-hour-long
charter fishing trip with Capt Clay
Shindler won by her 7-year-old sister
Kaitlynn through the YMCAs "The Best
Dad Ever" contest for Father's Day
Shindler took AnnaBelle, Kaitlynn,
brother James Touchton and father
James "Buddy" Touchton on the ven-
ture out into the waters.
Because bonefish have a reputa-
tion for not being good eating,
AnnaBelle released it back into the
water.
According to Sherri Touchton, the
three children's grandmother, every-
one had a great time. Sherri Touchton
also said all of the Touchton children
have been fishing for about a year.

SPRT


Van Pelt narrowly missed 59 in Malaysia


Hamlin wins
truck race at
Martinsville
MARTINSVILLE, Va. -
Denny Hamlin ducked
under Matt Crafton with
five laps to go and won the
NASCAR truck series race
at Martinsville Speedway.
The victory was Hamlin's
second in the truck series
and came as the champi-
onship standings were sig-
nificantly jumbled.
Ty Dillon, who has led
since mid-September, cut a
tire with 48 laps to go and
went from running sixth to
finishing 28th.
James Buescher, only
one point behind Dillon to
start the day, finished 18th
but assumed the points
lead by 21 over Dillon.
The final eight laps fea-
tured a mad dash and
Nelson Piquet Jr. wound
up second, angering a lot
of drivers with his aggres-
sive driving.
Joey Coulter was third,
Crafton finished fourth and
Scott Riggs was fifth.
Keselowski
insists he's not
feeling title heat
MARTINSVILLE, Va. -
Brad Keselowski talks like
racing continues to be
business as usual.
The 28-year-old is lead-
ing the standings in
NASCAR'S Chase for the
Sprint Cup, and while his
margin over five-time
champion Jimmie Johnson
is only seven points, and
perennial contender Denny
Hamlin is only 20 points
behind, Keselowski quickly
dismisses talk that being
chased in the chase
means pressure.
Keselowski qualified
32rd for Sunday's race,
which could make him vul-
nerable to getting caught
up in an accident. But
Johnson and Hamlin have
started back in the field
here and rallied for good
finishes.
Hamlin said Keselowski
can hope to convince him-
self there's no pressure on
him, but said the pressure
will surely crank up as Ke-
selowski gets closer to re-
alizing his championship
dreams.
Magic waive 3
players, pick up
Vucevic option
ORLANDO The Or-
lando Magic waived a trio
of players and picked up
the contract option on an-
other in preparation for the
start of the regular season.
General manager Rob
Hennigan trimmed his roster
to 15 players Saturday,
waiving forwards Quentin
Richardson, Justin Harper
and Chris Johnson. The
Magic also exercised the
third-year contract option on
7-foot center Nikola Vucevic.
Vucevic, now under con-
tract through the 2013-14
season, was acquired from
Philadelphia this summer as
part of the multi-team deal
that sent Dwight Howard to
the Los Angeles Lakers.
Richardson was the
most tenured of the players
waived, having appeared in
105 games with the Magic
the past two seasons.
From wire reports


Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -
Bo Van Pelt missed a chance for a
59 on Saturday when he closed with
a double bogey in the third round
of the CIMB Classic.
Van Pelt, the defending cham-
pion in the unofficial PGA Tour
event, birdied four of the first six
holes, then birdied five in a row
from the eighth on the par-71 Mines
Resort course. He had two more
birdies to reach 11 under in the
round and only needed one more to
break 60.
However, he hit his approach on
the par-4 18th into the greenside
bunker and needed a chip and two


putts to finish. He ended up with a
9-under 62 for a share of the third-
round lead with Robert Garrigus at
16 under.
Garrigus had 69. Chris Kirk shot
a 63 to move to 15 under.
Tiger Woods birdied five of the
first eight holes, but had three bogeys
and a double bogey on the back nine
and finished at 69. He was 11 under
BMW Masters
SHANGHAI Sweden's Peter
Hanson shot a 2-under 70 to take a
one-stroke lead over Ryder Cup
teammate Rory Mcllroy after the third
round of the European Tour's BMW
Masters.
Hanson, the KLM Open winner last


month, had a 15-under 200 total at
Lake Malaren.
The top-ranked Mcllroy, the winner
last year when the event was an unoffi-
cial tournament, had a 69.
LPGA Taiwan C'ship
YANG MEI, Taiwan South Korea's
Inbee Park shot an 8-under 64 to take a
two-stroke lead after the third round of
the LPGA Taiwan Championship.
Park had two eagles and five birdies
to reach 18-under 198 at the Sunrise
Golf and Country Club. The tour
money leader won the LPGA Malaysia
two weeks ago for her second victory
of the year.
Norway's Suzann Pettersen was sec-


ond after a 66. She won last week in
South Korea.
AT&T Championship
SAN ANTONIO Mark Calcavec-
chia shot a 3-under 69 on Saturday to
increase his lead to four strokes after
the second round of the Champions
Tour's AT&T Championship.
Calcavecchia, three strokes ahead
after the completion of the rain-delayed
first round, had an 8-under 136 total on
TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course.
The Montreal Championship winner in
June, he had 26 putts one-putting the
final five greens and six of the last seven.
Kenny Perry was second after his
second straight 70.

Saints at Broncos

Associated Press

The welcoming committee for
Joe Vitt as he returns from his six-
game suspension to again be the
Saints' interim coach consists of
Peyton Manning and the revitalized
Broncos.
Maybe Vitt wants to stay away an-
other week.
New Orleans chose Vitt to stand
in for Sean Payton while the head
coach is banned for the 2012 season
for his role in the team's bounties
program. Aaron Kromer then was
the interim-interim coach and the
Saints lost their first four before re-
bounding with two victories.
Having Vitt back might add some
continuity for New Orleans. Facing
Manning and Denver might add
some headaches.
If not historic, certainly impres-
sive. Denver has gone through a
gantlet in the early season and sur-
vived with a 3-3 record. The defeats
are two three of the league's pre-
mier teams: Atlanta, Houston and
New England, two on the road.
The action began Thursday night
with Tampa Bay (3-4) scoring a 36-
17 victory at Minnesota (5-3).
Off this week are Baltimore (5-2),
Buffalo (3-4), Cincinnati (3-4) and
Houston (6-1).
New England (4-3) vs.
St. Louis (3-4) at London
The Rams have played well at home,
so shifting this game 4,000 miles away
isn't a particularly good idea. But at least
they went over to England early; the Patri-
ots decided not to depart until week's end.
New England coach Bill Belichick
won't let his players think about any-
thing but football -American football,
not soccer when they get over there.
"The time change, the travel that's
certainly different than most normal
games," Belichick said, "but it's not any-
thing we haven't dealt with before."
Atlanta (6-0)
at Philadelphia (3-3)
One of the more impressive stats in the
NFL is Andy Reid's record after bye
weeks: 13-0. Stretching that will be difficult
against the league's only unbeaten team.
Reid fired defensive coordinator Juan
Castillo after the Eagles' last game, so
Todd Bowles gets to design something
to slow Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez and
an offense that makes big plays.
The Falcons' performance has been
their best ever; they've not been unde-
feated this deep into a season.
Carolina (1-5)
at Chicago (5-1)
Everything is going right for the
Bears and wrong for the Panthers.
Two days after Carolina's general
manager was fired, star linebacker Jon
Beason went on injured reserve with
right knee and left shoulder problems


Associated Press
Unless the New Orleans Saints' defense has suddenly improved, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning
figures to be able to find holes to exploit tonight.


that will require surgery. In the past two
weeks, the Panthers also lost center
Ryan Kalil and cornerback Chris Gam-
ble to season-ending injuries. They've
dropped four in a row.
Chicago has won four straight, allow-
ing a total of 34 points. These Monsters
of the Midway are led by the secondary,
where Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings
and Major Wright have been superb.
New York Giants (5-2)
at Dallas (3-3)
Ah, home sweet home for the Gi-
ants, who are 3-0 in Cowboys Stadium.
"Certainly you want to protect your
home-field advantage and certainly play
well at home," Cowboys coach Jason
Garrett, said, "but you want to play well
on the road, you want to play well in the
parking lot, you want to play well on the
moon. Our players hear me say that a
lot. It will be a great challenge for us at
our place on Sunday against this foot-
ball team."
New York found a pass rush against
Washington, although it still was spotty.
And if this one is close near the end,
count on Eli Manning to produce.
San Fran. (5-2) at Arizona
(4-3), Monday night
Arizona has lost three straight, in
great part because it can't protect its
quarterbacks. This is hardly the
matchup for fixing that problem: San
Francisco has the league's stingiest
and most physical defense.
The Cardinals are the only team in the
league not to allow more than 21 points.
Of course, they're not likely to score that
many against the Niners, whose 100
points given up are the fewest for any
club that's played seven games.
Washington (3-4)
at Pittsburgh (3-3)
For fans into quarterbacks who keep
plays alive, this is the game. Sensa-
tional Redskins rookie Robert Griffiin III


put on quite a show in the Meadow-
lands last Sunday with his speed and
shiftiness not to mention a strong
and pinpoint arm. Ben Roethlisberger
does it with his strength and power.
Both banged-up defenses are vulner-
able to such exploits, especially Wash-
ington's if LB London Fletcher's
231-game streak ends because of
hamstring and balance issues.
Jacksonville (1-5)
at Green Bay (4-3)
This is a tough enough assignment
for the reeling Jaguars with Maurice
Jones-Drew on hand. MJD won't be at
Lambeau Field, sidelined for several
weeks with a sprained left foot.
Green Bay has its offense in form
after some sloppiness, but will be with-
out defensive leader Charles Woodson
in the secondary. Woodson broke his
right collarbone.
"He's a guy people have to account
for every time," Aaron Rodgers said. "I
know if I was playing our defense, I
would want to know where he's at."
Seattle (4-3)
at Detroit (2-4)
The Lions are on a short week after
their offense was invisible Monday night
in Chicago. The Seahawks haven't
played since Oct. 18, when they did lit-
tle with the ball at San Francisco.
Seattle has won the last three in the
series, and could make the day miser-
able for Detroit's offense if it can't find a
running game. Plus, Lions QB Matthew
Stafford has five TD passes and six in-
terceptions one season after throwing for
41 TDs with 16 picks. The Seahawks'
defensive strength is in the secondary.
Indianapolis (3-3)
at Tennessee (3-4)
Two inconsistent teams with improv-
ing outlooks, particularly the Titans,
whose offense has come alive the last
two weeks with Matt Hasselbeck in for


injured QB Jake Locker, and running
back Chris Johnson finally finding his
way. But Tennessee's defense has
struggled: it has only nine sacks, ranks
30th in yards surrendered and has just
seven takeaways.
But the Colts have forced only three
turnovers, dropping them to minus-9 in
turnover margin. Still, they've beaten
Minnesota and Green Bay, albeit at
home; Indy is 0-2 on the road.
Miami (3-3)
at New York Jets (3-4)
The Dolphins probably should have
beaten the Jets in Week 3, with usually
reliable Dan Carpenter missing some
makable field goals. Since throwing two
interceptions at Arizona on Sept. 30,
Ryan Tannehill has none in two games.
He has a quarterback rating of at least
91.0 in each game during that span,
with Miami winning twice.
The Jets have not swept Miami in
Rex Ryan's three-plus years as their
coach.
San Diego (3-3)
at Cleveland (1-6)
After that debacle at home against
Denver in which they blew a 24-0
lead, the Chargers had two weeks to
lick their wounds and find some solu-
tions. A key will be if they can improve
that ragged pass defense; they're al-
ready stingy against the run.
Cleveland has stayed close in most of
its games, but also has lost four in a row
and nine of the last 11 against San Diego.
Oakland (2-4)
at Kansas City (1-5)
Once among the fiercest and most
anticipated rivalries, Raiders-Chiefs has
become barely watchable. At least Oak-
land has the excuse of going through a
transition period, and it comes off an
uplifting comeback victory. That the
Raiders fell behind so badly against
weak Jacksonville is another story.

The Seminoles scored on
their third play of the game
when Manuel hit Rashad
Greene in stride for a 71-
yard touchdown and didn't
let up, racing to a 31-0 lead
just four minutes into the
second quarter.
But after adding two
quick touchdowns in the
first five minutes of the
third quarter to take a 45-7
lead on Manuel's 35-yard
scoring pass to Kelvin Ben-
jamin, Florida State bogged
down with mistakes and
managed just Hopkins'
record-breaking field goal
in the final 25 minutes.
Hopkins had appeared to

countless flags, chippy play

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


No. 10 USC shocked


Down they go:

Gators, Trojans,

unbeatens fall

Associated Press

What a tough day to be a highly
ranked team.
All sorts of ambitions came
crashing down in a handful of Top
25 upsets on Saturday, none more
costly than No. 3 Florida's loss to
Georgia.
The 12th-ranked Bulldogs stuffed
the Gators, giving Florida its first
loss of the season and damaging
their chances to make the SEC title
game, let alone the BCS title game.
Southern California's national
title hopes took another hit when
they were upset in the desert New
Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez got a
signature win of the sort that mostly
eluded him at Michigan, bumping
off the Trojans 39-36 thanks to a
huge day by quarterback Matt Scott
Two other unbeaten fell, too -
both to teams from the Mid-Ameri-
can conference. No. 18 Rutgers was
beaten at home by Kent State and
No. 23 Ohio lost to archrival Miami
of Ohio across the state in Oxford.
Those games burst the bubble on
promising seasons for programs
looking for a spot in the BCS chase.
USC, meanwhile, was toutedas a
likely title contender and still could
have made the BCS championship
game if it ran the table following its
loss to Stanford in September Seem-
ingly in control with a 28-13 lead, the
Trojans let the lead slip away.
No. 2 Oregon 70,
Colorado 14
EUGENE, Ore. Kenjon Barner
rushed for 104 yards and two touch-
downs, and No. 2 Oregon easily took
care of Colorado in advance of next
weekend's Pac-12 showdown with USC.
De'Anthony Thomas rushed for an-
other score and added a 73-yard punt
return for a touchdown before most of
the Ducks' offensive starters were
pulled midway through the second
quarter. Redshirt freshman quarterback
Marcus Mariota passed for 136 yards
and two TDs.
The Ducks (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) built a
56-0 lead by halftime and their 70
points were the most they'd ever
scored against a conference opponent.
It was Oregon's 11th straight overall vic-
tory dating to a 38-35 loss at home to
USC last season.
Christian Powell rushed for 127 yards
and two touchdowns for the Buffaloes
(1-7, 1-4), who lost their fourth straight.
The Ducks piled up 617 yards in total
offense, including 425 on the ground,
and the Buffs simply could not keep up.
Colorado went into the game ranked
112th in the nation on defense, allowing
an average of 489 yards. Oregon had
447 by halftime.
No. 4 Kansas State 55,
No. 15 Texas Tech 24
MANHATTAN, Kan. Collin Klein
accounted for four touchdowns, and
Arthur Brown returned an interception
37 yards for another score.
Klein was 19 of 26 for 233 yards and
two touchdowns, and had 83 yards and
two more scores on the ground bol-
stering his credentials for the Heisman
Trophy. Most of the offense came in the
second half as the Wildcats (5-0 Big 12)
blew open a 13-10 game to improve to
8-0 for the first time since 1999.
John Hubert added 64 yards and two
rushing TDs, and Angelo Pease also
scored for Kansas State, which came
into the game trailing only Alabama and
Florida in the BCS standings.

Southern California's Silas Redd loses the ball from a tackle by Arizona's Marquis Flowers during the first half
Saturday at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz.


Seth Doege threw for 331 yards and
two touchdowns for the Red Raiders (6-
2, 3-2), but also had a costly intercep-
tion. Doege had thrown for 13
touchdowns in wins over West Virginia
and TCU the last two weeks to jump
into the Heisman conversation.
Arizona 39,
No. 10 USC 36
TUCSON, Ariz. Matt Scott had
469 total yards and accounted for four
touchdowns, helping Arizona over-
come a huge day by Southern Califor-
nia's Marqise Lee.
Lee caught 16 passes for a Pac-12-
record 345 yards and two touchdowns
to help USC (6-2, 4-2 Pac-12) build a
15-point lead midway through the third
quarter.
But Scott led Arizona (5-3, 2-1) back,
throwing for 369 yards and three touch-
downs, including a 7-yarder to David
Richards that put the Wildcats up 39-28
with just over 5 minutes left.
The Trojans answered quickly with
Silas Redd's second rushing touch-
down, from 10 yards, but remain stuck
on 799 wins as a program after Matt
Barkley's last-ditch pass into the end
zone was swatted down.
Scott finished 27-for-50 passing and
ran for 100 yards before missing Ari-
zona's final possession with an undis-
closed injury.
Austin Hill had 10 catches for 259
yards to help the Wildcats hold on for
the upset victory after coming up just
short against the Trojans a year ago.
Barkley threw for 493 yards and
three touchdowns on 31-of-49 passing,
but threw two interceptions. USC had
five turnovers and 13 penalties for 117
yards as its national championship
hopes faded.
No. 17 South Carolina 38,
Tennessee 35
COLUMBIA, S.C. Connor Shaw
threw three touchdowns and ran for an-
other score, and No. 17 South Carolina
overcame the loss of tailback Marcus
Lattimore.
Tyler Bray had driven the Vols to


South Carolina's 19 with 1:08 left when
he was hit from behind by defensive
end Jadeveon Clowney. The ball
popped loose and linebacker Shaq Wil-
son recovered.
Tennessee (3-5, 0-5 Southeastern
Conference) forced a punt and got the
ball back with 36 seconds to go, but Vic-
tor Hampton intercepted a long pass from
Bray to dose it out for South Carolina.
More pressing, though, is the loss of
Lattimore to a serious injury. The junior
was taken to a hospital after hurting his
right knee in the second quarter.
Shaw finished with a career-high 356
yards passing and the Gamecocks (7-
2, 5-2) rolled up 510 yards after manag-
ing only 368 combined the previous two
weeks in losses at LSU and Florida.
Tight end Justice Cunningham had six
catches for 108 yards and receiver
Bruce Ellington had six catches for 101
yards as South Carolina won three
straight over the Vols for the first time in
a series that began in 1903.
Bray passed for 368 yards and four
touchdowns, three to Zach Rogers.
Kent State 35,
No. 18 Rutgers 23
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Defensive end
Mark Fackler returned his second inter-
ception 25 yards for a touchdown, and
Kent State forced five other turnovers in
its biggest win since it started playing
football in 1920.
The Golden Flashes (7-1) had been 0-
22 against ranked teams, but they ended
the best start for Rutgers (7-1) since the
Scarlet Knights were 9-0 in 2006.
Kent State intercepted Gary Nova six
times and recovered a fumble to give
the Mid-American Conference its sec-
ond straight win over an undefeated Big
East team. Toledo knocked off Cincin-
nati last week.
Spencer Keith threw touchdown
passes of 1 yard to Zack Hitchens and
15 yards to Josh Boyle, the latter giving
the Golden Flashes a 35-17 lead with
11:30 to play. Dri Archer, the nation's
leader in touchdowns coming into this
week, scored on a 7-yard run, and
Trayion Durham tallied from 3-yards out.

interception for the Broncos (7-1, 4-0

fense was an efficient 12 of 14 on third
down conversions and scored on all
five its red zone opportunities.
Boise State's defense held the Cow-

recorded four sacks and limited Wyoming
to 106 yards below its average.
Wyoming (1-7, 0-4) was without head

$50,000 and suspended by the school
for the week over his conduct after a 28-

Keith Miller, left, plays Zuniga in Bizet's "Carmen" with Elina Garanca in the title role at the Metropolitan Opera
in New York. Miller, a former University of Colorado fullback, has reinvented himself, going from the gridiron to the
stage and will appear in Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera," at the Metropolitan Opera.


Singer journeys from fullback on gridiron


Associated Press

NEW YORK Keith Miller was
a bruising fullback out of the Uni-
versity of Colorado who never quite
made it to the National Football
League. He has, however, become a
star at the Metropolitan Opera.
How Miller made the unlikely
transition from football to the pin-
nacle of opera is an all-American
story of reinvention, made all the
more amazing by the fact he had no
formal musical training when he set
out to become a singer
"This is the real thing, this is the
juice," the 38-year-old Miller said.
"Instead of a number, you're a char-
acter, but the spirit of competition
is the same, and you do it for the
love of the art versus the love of the
game."
It began almost by chance in 1994,
while still at Colorado, when he
took his girlfriend to see a traveling
production of the Broadway musi-
cal "The Phantom of the Opera." He
was so enthralled tears rolled down
his face. He bought a CD and
learned the songs.
Then he got some real opera
recordings, singing along in his
bass-baritone voice, "kind of like
karaoke."
But it was still nothing more than
a hobby Singing along to "The Mar-
riage of Figaro" and "Don Gio-
vanni" was something he did to pass
the time while the 6-foot, 265-pound
Miller lifted weights, ran sprints
and studied playbooks in pursuit of
a pro football career.
Miller, a three-year starter at Col-
orado best known as a blocking
back for 1994 Heisman Trophy win-
ner Rashaan Salaam, bounced
around the fringes of professional
football. He played in the European
league, the Arena Football League
and U.S. spring football leagues, al-
ways keeping in shape for a possi-
ble shot with the NFL.
In 2001, he was in Fargo, N.D.,
training for a workout with the Den-
ver Broncos, when he saw a flier an-
nouncing an open opera audition
for the Pine Mountain Music Festi-
val in Michigan.
On a whim, he showed up.
"I figured, what the heck!" he
said, his voice rippling into a low
laugh that echoes his rich singing
bass.
He performed the only aria he
knew, from Mozart's "Don Gio-
vanni." To his surprise, he got the
job, plus four other offers.
Miller then had to learn the

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you're feeling high-

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Your mental faculties are


whole part, poring over the score
and picking out notes on a piano
late into the night.
"It was like a baby learning to
walk," he said.
He still had to be formally trained
- for four years at Philadelphia's
Academy of Vocal Arts, a top groom-
ing ground for future stars. Then,
days before his 2006 graduation,
came the decisive break.
He auditioned for the Met's
Young Artist Development Program
and didn't get in. Instead, the com-
pany actually hired him for Puc-
cini's "Madame Butterfly,"
broadcast live in high definition to
movie theaters worldwide.
He has now sung with the Wash-
ington National Opera, the Seattle
Opera, and other companies across
the country and in Italy, England
and Canada, plus the New York
Philharmonic and at Carnegie Hall.
This season, Miller appears at the
Met in Verdi's "Un Ballo in
Maschera" ("A Masked Ball"), open-
ing Nov 8, followed by a global high-
definition broadcast Dec. 8.

tive field, "it's like looking at an op-

Thepolitics ofyour septic tank

JIM STEVENSON
Special to the Chronicle

My wife and I have a septic tank
that processes the waste from
our home, and I know its specific
location in the yard. Some homeowners
have never thought about their septic tank
and have no idea where it is. That means
they have never had their tank pumped.


The septic tank's company
employee who pumped our tank
a year ago said he has had to
empty some tanks out with a
shovel because they have never
been maintained. It is out of
sight, out of mind. Just flush it
and forget it until sewage backs
up in the bath tub or spills onto
the lawn.
Some regard septic tank main-
tenance as a nuisance and an
unwanted expense. All but ap-
proximately 1,200 homes in Tal-
lahassee are connected to the
city's central sewer Those who
are connected pay a reasonable
monthly utility fee for this serv-


ice. Some have central sewer
available in front of their homes
but have refused to hook up be-
cause of the connection fee and
the city has not required them to
do so.
During the 2010 legislative
session, the Legislature passed a
septic tanks law thanks to the
leadership of Sen. Lee Constan-
tine, R-Altamonte Springs. The
law required septic tanks be in-
spected every five years to en-
sure they are properly treating
household sewage.
Soon after the session, several
legislators began efforts to re-
peal the law during the 2011 ses-
sion. In the 2012 session, they
were successful, essentially neu-
tering the law. In fact, it is now
worse than the original law.
This is about money! Public
health is being ignored. Appar-
ently, many homeowners don't
want to take responsibility by
paying for the proper disposal of
their own poop. They choose to
flush it and forget it.

Changes coming for the American Dream


JOHN MCFADDEN
Special to the Chronicle
Samuel P Huntington:
"Who Are We? The Chal-
lenges to America's Na-
tional Identity" (New York:
Simon and Schuster 2004)
428 pages.
MEN
President Obama was
right
He said that in the
coming election we Ameri-
cans will decide what sort of
country we want to live in -
one of conservative and
capitalist or one of liberal
and socialist.
Eight years ago, noted po-
litical scientist Samuel P
Huntington foresaw this


change. I suppose many oth-
ers did as well, but he saw
something the rest of us are
only beginning to
comprehend.
What we are experienc-
ing is not just a clash of po-
litical ideals, but the
divergence of two distinct
and mutually incompatible
cultures. Whatever the out-
come of this election, the
changes in the next four
years will be nearly
irreversible.
Sounds overly dramatic
doesn't it. A quick look in-
side Sam Huntington's
"Who Are We?" might con-
vince you otherwise.


SBook REVIEW
The way we were
Huntington's first point is
that, historically, there has
been broad agreement as to
what constitutes the Ameri-
can Dream, or what he calls
The American Creed (used
interchangeably), which he
defines as those things that
by broad agreement "bind
us together and form our as-
sumptions as to what is right
and wrong, appropriate and
inappropriate."
He lists them: "... the Eng-
lish Language; Christianity;
religious commitment; Eng-
lish concepts of the rule of
law, the responsibility of


rulers, and the rights of in-
dividuals; the dissenting
values of individualism, the
work ethic and the belief
that humans have the ability
and the duty to create
heaven on earth, a 'city on a
hill,' ... a society dedicated
to the principle of protect-
ing the essential dignity of
the individual human."
Of these, language and in-
dividualism are crucial; lan-
guage because it denies the
foreigner access to Amer-
ica's political and economic
benefits and encourages na-
tive speakers to exclude
them, and individualism be-
cause capitalism thrives


best on individual
achievement.
He summarizes with a
well-known description of
The Creed: "The American
dream that we were all
raised on is a simple but
powerful one if you work
hard and play by the rules
you should be given a
chance to go as far as your
God-given ability will take
you."
The second point he
makes is that it was these
qualities that drew the
"huddled masses" to our
country "It was never a po-
litical ideal (democracy) but
a cultural one (the Creed)....

law in Inverness, and he
was way too young to die.
Shawn's dad was
Richard "Spike" Fitz-
patrick and his grandfa-
ther was Charles B.
Fitzpatrick. Both were
high-profile attorneys
with big personalities and
successful practices.
Spike was on the front
page of the newspaper
regularly, as he was the
school board attorney and
handled many of the high-
est-profile cases of his
time.
While Shawn was in law
school, Spike got ill with
cancer His last wish was
to live long enough for
Shawn to take over the
family practice, but that
didn't happen. Spike died
in 2006 while Shawn was
still finishing up school.
It was during the in-
terim that an interesting
thing happened attor-
neys and judges through-
out Inverness pulled
together to help keep
Spike's law practice oper-
ating while Shawn fin-
ished up school. When
Shawn graduated and
passed the Bar, he walked
into the family practice.
It was a proud day for
the family and the Inver-
ness legal community.
Now tragedy has again
hit the Fitzpatrick family,
and it's hard to figure it
out. At 31 years old,
Shawn was already leav-
ing a mark on Citrus
County. He volunteered
on a number of important
charity boards such as
Hospice and Citrus Me-
morial. He was getting in-
volved in nonprofit
organizations and doing
all the right things.
He was one of the lead-
ers of the next generation
of Inverness.
Shawn had the family
sense of humor When he
held an open house at the
law firm in 2007, he hung
on the wall a job rejection
letter something that
most of us would not do.
But the letter was from
the University of Florida
where Shawn had made
application to become the
head football coach. UF
suggested in the rejection
letter that at 26 he was
probably not ready for the
job.
Shawn's sister Meagan is
now also an attorney and
she will continue the fam-
ily practice in Inverness.
Condolences go to the
family. Shawn's death is a
loss to the entire commu-
nity.
On at least a dozen oc-
casions, Don Mayo asked
me to go fishing on his
boat.

POLITICAL MANIPULATION




Voters should be


mad about election


shenanigans


It might not be the offense of
the decade, but Citrus
County voters are smart
enough to understand that
there have been a lot of
shenanigans going on in the
District 34 Florida House race.
An investigator with State At-
torney Brad King's office is-
sued a report last week that
said accusations
of manipulation
in the elections THE I!
could not be sub-
stantiated and Who is
would not be in- manipu
vestigated further. elect
Again, voters
are smart enough OUR 01
to understand that State atto
manipulation has too ,
been the name of
the game in this
contest and we all know the
reason why Nancy Argenziano
is running as an independent
candidate trying to unseat in-
cumbent Rep. Jimmie T Smith
(R-Inverness), and that has a
lot of people in Tallahassee
worried.
Argenziano has previously
served as both the state repre-
sentative and state senator
from Citrus County and she has
a well-earned reputation for
battling with legislators in
leadership positions. Argen-
ziano was a Republican, but
she called her own party's
leadership out so many times
that the party and the candi-
date parted ways.
The last thing the legislative
leadership in Tallahassee
wants is for Argenziano to re-
turn. She knows where all the
bodies are buried and she's not
afraid to dig them up. Hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars
have been pumped into
Smith's campaign from out of
county special interest groups
in an effort to stop Argenziano.
Once all the spending is tal-
lied, this will turn out to be one
of the most expensive Florida
House elections ever held.
A Democratic candidate -
Robert Goocher was in-
serted into the race in an effort
to protect Rep. Smith. The the-
ory was if Goocher won the
Democratic primary and Ar-
genziano was an independent,
he would siphon off votes from
Argenziano and Smith would
be guaranteed a victory.
The money used to support
Goocher's campaign came
from Republican fundraisers.
Goocher himself never cam-
paigned and refused to speak
with newspaper reporters. In-
verness attorney Bill Grant, an
adviser to Rep. Smith, was tied
back to the Goocher family, as
was Rep. Smith. There were of-
fice rentals, hospital board rec-
ommendations and other
connections that deserved
scrutiny.
Now, we admit State Attor-
ney Brad King has a lot of im-
portant cases to spend his time
on. He prosecutes those ac-
cused of murder, child abuse
and other far more heinous
crimes. Spending any amount

of resources investigating this
silliness simply takes away
from those far more important

But we have to remind every-
one that our elections are seri-

case apparently
INION: lacked credibility,
rney quit according to the
oon. state attorney The
witness Jim
Brunswick told
the Chronicle he was asked to
help Rep. Smith and become
the Democratic candidate in
the race before Goocher got in-
volved. The state attorney's of-
fice did not follow up on the
Republican connection to the
funding that mysteriously
came to the Democratic candi-
date. They did not look at the
mailings done by GOP political
operatives on behalf of the
Democratic candidate.
They also did not find it odd
that lobbyists for the state op-
tometric association said Rep.
Smith contacted them and said
his Democratic opponent was
"a good guy" and deserved a
campaign contribution from
them.
Think about that: An incum-
bent Republican legislator
contacts a lobbyist supporting
a campaign contribution for
his Democratic opponent. That
might happen in Russia, but
that's not the way politics
works in this country unless
someone recently changed the
rules.
Rep. Smith was asked to
have an appointment with the
state attorney to answer ques-
tions, but he said he was too
busy with his campaign and
put off the interview. The in-
cumbent has refused to answer
questions from Chronicle re-
porters and instead insists all
queries be emailed. Appar-
ently, his state GOP handlers
must guide his every step.
We are surprised the state at-
torney would conclude the in-
vestigation without inter-
viewing the representative.
We hate to see political in-
siders try to mess with elec-
tions. But these are the same
folks who pack our mailboxes
each day with political adver-
tisements filled with half-
truths, mistruths and outright
untruths. To expect some level
of ethical behavior is probably
too much to ask.
But we do expect the state at-
torney's office or the Florida
Division of Elections to be in-
dependent enough to dig into
allegations that folks are trying
to tinker with our elections.
The entire affair dismays us
and places a cloud of manipu-
lation over the election.

Mugging our descendants


WASHINGTON
he election eve mood is
tinged with sadness stem-
ming from well-founded
fear America's new government
is subverting Amer-
ica's old character.
Barack Obama's
agenda is a menu of
temptations intended
to change the nation's
social norms by mak- /
ing Americans com- r
fortable with the
degradation of democ-
racy. This degradation
consists of piling up Georg
public debt that binds OTI
unconsenting future VOI
generations to finance
current consumption.
So argued Nicholas Eberstadt,
an economist and demographer
atAmerican Enterprise Institute,
in "A Nation of Takers: America's
Entitlement Epidemic." This
booklet could be Mitt Romney's
closing argument.
Beginning two decades after
the death of Franklin Roosevelt,
who would find today's govern-
ment unrecognizable, govern-
ment became a geyser of
entitlements. In 2010, govern-
ment at all levels transferred
more than $2.2 trillion in money,
goods and services to recipients
- $7,200 per individual, almost
$29,000 per family of four. Before
1960, only in the Depression
years of 1931 and 1935 did federal
transfer payments exceed other
federal expenditures. During
most of FDR's 12 presidential
years, income transfers were a
third or less of federal spending.
But between 1960 and 2010, enti-
tlements exploded from 28 per-
cent to 66 percent of federal
spending. By 2010, more than 34
percent of households were re-
ceiving means-tested benefits.
Republicans were more than
merely complicit, said Eberstadt:
"The growth of entitlement
spending over the past half-cen-
tury has been distinctly greater
under Republican administra-
tions than Democratic ones. Be-


H
Ic


tween 1960 and 2010, the growth
of entitlement spending was ex-
ponential but in any given year,
it was on the whole more than 8
percent higher if the president
happened to be a Re-
publican rather than a
Democrat. ... The
Richard Nixon, Gerald
Ford and George W
Bush administrations
presided over espe-
cially lavish expan-
sions of the
entitlement state."
Why, then, should we
e Will expect Romney to re-
IER verse Republican com-
DES plicity? Because by
embracing Paul Ryan,
Romney embraced
Ryan's emphasis on the entitle-
ment state's moral as well as fi-
nancial costs.
As evidence of the moral costs,
Eberstadt cites the fact that
means-tested entitlement recipi-
ence has not merely been destig-
matized, it has been celebrated as
a basic civil right. Hence the stun-
ning growth of supposed disabili-
ties. The normalization and then
celebration of dependency help
explain the "unprecedented exit
from gainful work by adult men."
Since 1948, male labor force
participation has plummeted from
89 percent to 73 percent Today, 27
percent of adult men do not con-
sider themselves part of the work-
force: "A large part of the jobs
problem for American men today
is not wanting one." Which is why
"labor force participation ratios
for men in the prime of life are
lower in America than in Europe."
One reason work now is nei-
ther a duty nor a necessity is the
gaming defrauding, really of
disability entitlements. In 1960,
an average of 455,000 workers
were receiving disability pay-
ments; in 2011, 8.6 million were
more than four times the num-
ber of persons receiving basic
welfare benefits under Tempo-
rary Assistance for Needy Fami-
lies. Nearly half of the 8.6 million
were "disabled" because of


"mood disorders" or ailments of
the "musculoskeletal system and
the connective tissue." It is, said
Eberstadt, essentially impossible
to disprove a person's claim to be
suffering from sad feelings or
back pain.
"In 1960," Eberstadt said,
"roughly 134 Americans were en-
gaged in gainful employment for
every officially disabled worker;
by December 2010 there were
just over 16." This, in spite of the
fact that public health was much
better, and automation and the
growth of the service/information
economy had made work less
physically demanding. Eberstadt
said collecting disability is an in-
creasingly important American
"profession":
For every 100 industrial work-
ers in December 2010, 73 "work-
ers" were receiving disability
payments. Between January 2010
and December 2011, the U.S.
economy created 1.73 million
nonfarm jobs but almost half
as many (790,000) workers be-
came disability recipients. This
trend is not a Great Recession
phenomenon: In the 15 years
ending in December 2011, Amer-
ica added 8.8 million nonfarm
private sector jobs- and 4.1 mil-
lion workers on disability rolls.
The radiating corruption of
this entitlement involves the col-
laboration of doctors and health
care professionals who certify
dubious disability claims. The ju-
dicial system, too, is compro-
mised in the process of setting
disability standards that enable
all this.
America's ethos once was what
Eberstadt called "optimistic Pu-
ritanism," combining an affinity
for personal enterprise with a
horror of dependency Nov 6 is a
late and perhaps last chance to
begin stopping the scandal of
plundering our descendants'
wealth to finance the demands of
today's entitlement mentality.

Double stop signs
One time I was driving home
in the dark and hit a broken-off
stop sign in the highway The
broken end came up through the
floor directly pointed at my
wife's chest. Luck was with me
and I was able to stop and re-
move the sign. Otherwise, we
were lucky as if I hit something
else the pointed end may have
penetrated her chest and heart.
Stop signs can be a danger.
In regard to Meadowcrest stop

or not I should stop twice and be
legal. Your article raises some
interesting questions.
First, is this private property

not legal? What does frangiblee"

means easily fractured or bro-
ken, not "to have give" that
means ductility of steel posts.
Where did all the money come
from to fool around with stop

county paying this cost? Is the
federal MUTCD manual a law or
a guide? Do all these people

I'm running out of space, so let
me wrap this up.
What I gleaned from my re-
search was Lydia was an incredi-
bly strong woman. Before anyone
had even heard of equality of the
sexes, she wasn't trying to break
through a glass ceiling, but she
knew she had to find a way to dig
a living out of the dirt in Baker
County to feed her children and
she did.
In November 1919, Lydia was a
widow, once more. The circum-
stances were dire. She was down,
but she wasn't out.
I suppose the most heart-rend-
ing tale I remember hearing
about this era is when the "do-
gooders" came and offered to
"take" her children, she firmly
replied, "It's time for you to
leave. These are my children. We
will live together; and, if it ever
comes to it, we'll die together;
but, whatever we do, we'll do it
together."
I'm glad to have been able to put
together a part her story But even
more, I'm thankful she is a part of
my story, a forebear whose
strength and determination be-
came a big piece of the puzzle as
to how I came to be me.

To the person who thinks children have too much
homework: Teachers today are responsible for the 3R's
- reading, writing and arithmetic -
plus science, computers and more, OUND
not to mention art, music and PE. And
don't forget the seminars on manners 1
and anti-bullying. Additionally, break-
fast and lunch must be provided to
most. All of this must be accom-
plished in six hours a day. Your child
must perform at a certain level in
order to progress via state testing. CA
And his teacher is responsible if he
does not meet the "benchmarks." But, 563-0579
hey, let's not stress the little darlings
with a bit of homework. Tell them that
they don't need to study and work hard to be successful.
The government will provide for them. Instead of teach-
ing them to be independent, thinking and functioning
members of society, tell them the government will take
money from the rich and give it to them. Then welcome
them to your club, the 47 percent...
We've all had homework
Another parent (who) doesn't want to deal with their
child's homework. Get over it. We all had homework as a
kid. Your problem is you're too lazy and don't want to
spend time with your child. You'd rather get him to bed
and be on the computer end of story.

REVIEW
Continued from Page C1

The millions that came to
America came because of
our culture and the eco-
nomic opportunities it
provided."
In other words, any
changes in our culture eat
away at The Dream.
The New Creed
Beginning in the mid-60s
powerful movements began
to challenge the impor-
tance, the substance and
even the desirability of the
American Creed. "America
to them was not a national
community of individuals
bearing a common culture,
history and creed but a con-
glomerate of different races,
ethnicities and subcultures
in which individuals were
defined by their group
membership and not a com-
mon nationality."
At the heart of this move-
ment were the concepts of
"multiculturalism" and
"equal opportunity" both of
which are conceptually in-
tolerant of individualism
and common language.
Rather, the focus turned
on separate communities of
individuals, categorized ac-
cording to race, ethnicity,
gender, language, sexual
orientation and economic
status, to name but a few.
The movement began in
our colleges and universi-
ties. "Liberal political be-
liefs fostered among


academics, intellectuals,
journalists and others, feel-
ings of sympathy and guilt
concerning those whom
they saw as victims of exclu-
sion, discrimination and
oppression."
Next, the New Creed drew
in lawmakers. "Even conser-
vative politicians accepted
this 'New American Creed.'
They discovered that focus-
ing on the specific needs of
distinct groups was easier
than trying to find a hazy
middle ground somewhere
within their constituents' po-
litical positions."
The result was the legal-
ization of multiculturalism
and diversity in the forms of
Affirmative Action, and
Equal Opportunity. In brief,
"Our political leaders had
exchanged the principles of
equality of opportunity and
respect for the principles of
equality of result or
condition."
Diversity and multicultur-
alism also allowed newly ar-
rived immigrants, mostly
Mexican, to "maintain the
cultures of their countries of
origin even though their cul-
tural values differed widely
from America's."
Huntington is especially
concerned by the fact that
Hispanic immigrants are
encouraged to keep their
own language. "For the first
time in our history we are
becoming a bilingual
nation."
The New Creed turns the
idea of an American "melt-
ing pot" inside out. "Earlier
waves of immigrants were


subjected to intense pro-
grams ofAmericanization to
assimilate them into Ameri-
can society. ... Once, immi-
grants came to this country
to be Americans. Now they
come to be in America."
Fixing the
broken system
Without modification, the
budget deficit, Medicare
and Social Security won't
survive. Huntington's in-
sights make the differences
in liberal and conservative
approaches easier to
understand.
The deficit: Both propose
putting money into the econ-
omy but in opposing ways.
Republicans want to
allow wage earners to keep
more of their earnings by
lowering taxes on individu-
als and corporations. If con-
sumers and businesses are
left with more of their earn-
ings, they'll spend them,
creating more jobs and in
turn additional money to be
taxed.
Democrats propose in-
jecting more federal money
into the economy, which will
have the same effect as the
Republican approach. By
maintaining government
control over public assets,
the government can insure
their fair and equitable
distribution.
Health care: Both Repub-


lican and Democrat propos-
als provide health insur-
ance for all.
The Republican plan has
the option of accepting
Medicare as it is or choosing
to receive a voucher which
consumers can use to buy
their own insurance, pay
their medical bills directly
or invest in the market, cre-
ating Medical Savings Ac-
counts. The idea is to allow
consumers the ability to
manage their own personal
health care.
The Democrats want to
take health care out of the
hands of private insurers
and, over time, create a sys-
tem of single payer health
insurance. Their idea is to
make certain that the disad-
vantaged get the same care
as the wealthy
Social Security: The Re-
publican position is that
young workers should be
given the option of investing
a small portion of their SSI
payments in the market,
creating individual ac-
counts expecting, thereby, to
increase benefits when they
retire.
The Obama Administra-
tion is willing to negotiate
changes in SSI but only "...
without subjecting Ameri-
cans' guaranteed retire-
ment income to the whims
of the stock market"


He never raises the most important
question: So what?

Similarities
with a difference
In each of the three cases,
Republicans place control
of the reforming process in
individuals' hands, con-
vinced the individual is
most qualified to decide the
course of action that best
suits his needs.
In each case, the Democ-
rats leave control of the re-
forms in government hands
equally convinced the gov-
ernment is in the best posi-
tion to ensure a fair and
equitable distribution of na-
tional goods and services.
Conclusions
Huntington's preview of
America's changing culture
is not without fault. Indeed,
there are many But two are
hard to defend.
He ignores the possibility
that coming generations of
immigrants' attachments to
cultural norms of their par-
ents will dissipate and that
they will willingly join in
The American Dream and
invigorate it.
Even more serious is that
he never raises the most im-
portant question: So what?
All of the nations in Eu-
rope and Canada have cre-
ated reasonably successful
socialist societies and if
they perform poorly, Mar-
garet Thatcher (British
Prime Minister 1979-1990)
has proven that adjustments
can be made.
But Huntington's ability to
explain, from a distance of
eight years, the difficult


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

choices that face us come
Nov 6 easily overpowers the
imperfections of this work.
In fact, he also explains the
partisan logjam that plagues
our legislative processes.
Huntington is regarded at
one of the world's foremost
thinkers. Several of his
dozen books are in their
third and fourth printings
("The Soldier and The
State" is in its 14th). He had
the extraordinary ability to
look the world in the eye.
Most importantly, he has
provided us the insights we
need to make an informed
decision on election day; do
we want to keep the Ameri-
can Dream that made this
nation so successful or has
The Dream's time passed, so
we should look to a different
approach to our way of life?
One last thought. It would
be easy to portray Samuel
Patrick Huntington as
larger than life.
Perhaps he is.

BUSINESS
CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE


Dynabody marks 20 years in business


PAT FAHERTY
Staff Writer
INVERNESS Dynabody Fit-
ness Club in Inverness is celebrat-
ing its 20th anniversary of doing
business in Citrus County
"Our core business is fitness,
that's what we're about," said An-
drew Moreno. "We have programs
to address the needs of everybody"
Moreno is the owner of Dynabody
and a staunch advocate of personal
fitness as a lifestyle. Under his own-
ership the club has taken the lead
in various local fitness initiatives.
He has owned the business for the
past five years, a period of growth,
innovation and enhancements to


both programs and facilities.
He said it has evolved to meet
customer needs and scheduling de-
mands and offers more viable fit-
ness options. And during that
period the industry has changed,
with fewer full service fitness facil-
ities available.
"We have a lot of people who
never belonged to a fitness club
prior to moving to the Inverness
areas," Moreno said, explaining the
club's demographics. "They are
newly retired and we have to have
the programs and sensibilities that
do no harm and have programs that
they can make progress with to
reach their fitness goals."
"So there is a lot of work on our


part to make sure that the fitness
experience for every person who
walks through the door is as good as
we can get it."
The result has been a client base
that spans all ages and levels of fit-
ness with customers from all over
the county
To meet the fitness of its mem-
bers, the club is open 24 hours a day,
Monday through Friday, with busi-
ness hours on Saturday and Sunday
"It is important to be hands-on
with members," he said. "It is im-
portant for staff to be here to be able
to respond with good information."
Dynabody has a staff of 34, some of
whom have been there up to 15 years.
The club has a variety of mem-


bership options available. He said
they also cater to snowbirds who
can freeze their membership while
they are back up North.
Moreno likes to see members ac-
tively using the facilities. He recom-
mends they come at least three times
a week and do something physically
at least six times a week, especially
those who hold sedentary jobs.
"We feel that if you are active, if
you are fit, you are healthier, you
are more productive in every part
of your life and have a better self-
image," Moreno said. "Generally
speaking you are more successful."
"We have been here 20 years, and
with success the club can be here
another 20 years," he said.


Savvy shopping


Strategies for

finding hot toys
MAE ANDERSON
Associated Press

It's that season again, when
parents begin the scramble for
the next toy their child can't live
without
While there's no breakout hot
toy for Christmas this year so
far as parents know, that
doesn't mean the most popular
presents will be easy to find.
This year, stores are being cau-
tious with inventory, so some
toys might be scarce on store
shelves when the holidays get
nearer.
But never fear: Here are some
strategies to make sure that
whatever toy your child wants,
from the latest Monster High
doll or robotic Furby pet to the
child-size LeapPad Explorer, is
under the tree without having
to pay exorbitantly on eBay or
elsewhere.
SHOP EARLY: Toy makers
and retailers are working more
diligently than ever to ensure
that there won't be a large over-
supply of toys after the holidays
are over, which ends up costing
them money
Jim Silver, an analyst at Time
toplaymag.com, predicts the
hottest toys will be scarce by
Dec. 1 a time when many peo-
ple are just starting to think
about Christmas gifts. So even
though your child's thoughts
may still be on Halloween, now
is the time to figure out what he
or she wants and start shopping.
MAKE A RESERVATION:
Fortunately, this year stores are
making it easy to shop early,
with layaway services and other
offers. So even if you don't have
the cash yet, you can still start
shopping. Toys R Us, Wal-Mart
and Kmart have dropped fees,
minimum balances and other

Beware job scams


W ith Halloween
just a few days
away, now is an
ideal time to talk about
tricks and treats.
Let's start with some
pretty scary tricksters -
employment scammers.
We are hearing reports
from workforce boards
throughout the state about Laura
an increasing number of WORK
these creepy ghouls CONNE
usurping the names of le-
gitimate businesses and
organizations to trick jobseekers into
responding to their ads. And once
they do respond, the jobseekers are
told they have to send money for so-
called training for jobs that don't ac-
tually exist.
These scammers are obviously un-
scrupulous preying on folks who
are most vulnerable but unfortu-
nately, they are also very crafty and
very good at what they do. Despite
the warnings on nearly every page of
the Employ Florida Marketplace, for
example, these scammers know that
it's easy for jobseekers to get excited
and let their guard down when they
find what they believe is a promising
opportunity
So what can you do? You know that
old saying, caveat emptor: let the
buyer beware. The bottom line is, if

something sounds too
good to be true, it probably
is too good to be true.
Claims of guaranteed em-
ployment and demands
for upfront fees are defi-
nite red flags. When
searching through job ad-
vertisements, whether on-
line or in the classified,
keep these tips in mind:
Research the com-
pany to make sure it is the
real deal (to ensure a busi-


ness is authentic, contact
the Better Business Bureau at
wwwbbb.org).
Keep your email address private
and do not provide your Social Secu-
rity number or any sensitive infor-
mation to an employer unless you
are confident they are legitimate.
Be wary of any employer offer-
ing a job without an interview.
Be alert for any employer charg-
ing fees to either employ, find place-
ment or provide training.
Investigate thoroughly any em-
ployer requesting you transfer funds
or receive packages for reshipment,

uct effectiveness, or any job posting

a trove of information. Check
out a brand's Facebook page or
Twitter hashtag to find other
people looking for the same toys
who may have tips on where to
find them. In addition, using a
shopping cart on Amazon may
help you save money Amy
Barseghian, mother and blogger
at mommy-mentor com, recom-
mends filling up your Amazon
cart with toys but waiting to
actually buy them. If an item in
your cart gets cheaper, Amazon
will send you an alert.
BE SMART ABOUT STORE
STOCKING: The days of run-
ning from store to store trying to
find the hot toy are over, be-
cause most stores have added
online services that can tell you
which location has a product in
stock. Many also offer ship-to-
store options or same-day deliv-
ery If they don't, experts
recommend calling before you
go. If the store doesn't have an


item, make them do the work of
calling other locations to locate
what you want. Timing is key,
Emily Vanek, mother of three
sons and owner and editor of
ColoradoMoms.com, says. She
advises, if possible, to go shop-
ping at lunch on Fridays, when
stores are freshly stocked right
before the weekend rush.
"That's how we scored quite a
few toys," she says.
ENLIST YOUR FRIENDS:
Your best weapon for finding
hot toys may be your social cir-
cle. Vanek says she makes a list
of all the toys on her list and
then shares it with her friends,
who also have their own lists.
"We all know what each
other's kids want, so if we see
something, we'll buy it and swap
later," Vanek says. If the other
person already has that toy, just
return it "It beats looking for
something on eBay and spend-
ing two or three times as much."


140 characters or less


"Drinking iced #pumpkincof-
fee while writing my #inthe-
memetime column for
@citruschronicle"
T he above
"tweet" may not
make much
sense to you, but hope-
fully, after you read
this column, it will.
First, what is a tweet?
A tweet is a relatively
short message (140
characters or less) that
you convey to your fol- Daniell
lowers on a social IN 1
media website called MEME
Twitter
Twittercom has
been around since 2006, and in
six short years now has more than
140 million users, more people
than the number who voted in the
last presidential election.
So who are these 140 million
people? They are you and me,
your neighbor down the road, the
president of the United States,
the actor from that sitcom you
love, the rescue dog organization,
department stores, your best
friend's daughter, your local com-
munity newspaper- the list goes
on. Anyone who has an email ac-
count and use of a computer can
have a Twitter account.
You can use Twitter to tell your


friends what you are doing
tonight. Think of it as a mass text
message. Or you can tell your fol-
lowers about the sale
your store is having.
Who you think should
be our next president.
S What TV show you
think is terrible. What
you ate for breakfast.
Or what a student said
to you that melted your
heart today
If a clothing store
Kerese has a Twitter account,
rHE and you follow their
'TIME feed, you will be given
instant notifications of
sales and promotions
- some of which won't be offered
to anyone other than their Twitter
followers.
I think a large part of the ap-
peal of Twitter is #celebrities.
Yes, I #hashtagged it! (I'll get to
that in a bit.) Lots of celebrities
use Twitter Some are actually the
celebrities, and some are people
hired by celebrities to handle
their personas on social media
sites.
You might be surprised,
though, that many celebrities ac-
tually make their own posts -

SMART
MONEY


Divide


mom's


trust
DEAR BRUCE: My
mother passed
away six months
ago. She had a trust set up,
and we were told in the
trust she had put aside
money for her children.
My father is still alive, and
he may need some of the
money that was left to us.
How long should we
wait before delving into
this? I don't need the
money, but one of my sib-
lings does, and she keeps
pressing us to look into
this as she could use her
share. I'm not sure what to
do. Linda, via email
DEAR LINDA: I under-
stand what your sibling is
saying, and I have no
problem with it. There are
legal matters to be de-
cided here, and how long
the family should wait de-
pends in some measure
on the specific verbiage in
the trust
It's clear what your
mother wanted to accom-
plish, and it's equally
clear you are concerned
with your father's welfare.
You didn't mention how
much money is involved
here, but if other family
members are in need of
the money and you are
not, why not go ahead and
have the trust divided?
The individuals who
would like to help out
your dad can do so, and
those who don't wish to, or
cannot, don't have to.
You have no obligation I
know of to use any of this
trust money that was left
to you for your father's
care. There are decisions
to be made.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band and I are 82, and we
don't have a will. My hus-
band has refused to get
one, and I don't think at
this late date I'm going to
convince him otherwise.
If we both die without a
will, will our children
have any problem getting
our home and our bank
account? We don't have
any bills, and our home
and automobiles are paid
for Reader, via email
DEAR READER: The
answer to your question
is: Yes! You bet they will
have problems! You are
talking about leaving your
home with undivided in-
terest to more than one
child, which is always a
mistake.
For goodness' sake, you
should have simple recip-
rocal wills, one to the
other and one to your sur-
viving children. At the
very least, one of you will
have to be appointed ad-
ministrator of the estate
by the probate court,
which will involve some
expense.
I have written many
columns on this subject,
expressing my well-de-
fined view that there al-
ways should be a personal
rep or administrator
(which you currently don't
have) and instructions to
them in a will that the
home should be disposed
of and the monies divided.
Not having a will is a huge
disservice to the people
you leave behind.
DEAR BRUCE: My
home has been in a trust
for about five years. When
my husband passed away,
it was put in my name. Do
I need to keep it in a trust;
if so, for how long; and

MEME
Continued from Page D1

Trump, Miley Cyrus, Justin
Bieber and Slash, to name a
few. Sometimes, celebrities
will even answer your tweet
This interaction makes
users feel close to their fa-
vorite celebrities.
Terms you
should know
Hashtag You have
probably heard the term
hashtag before, maybe from
your kids or on television. In
a recent episode of the sit-
com "Parks and Recre-
ation," I heard a character
say hashtag about 12 times
in one scene. #Hashtags are
key words or phrases within
a tweet. Once a word or
phrase is hashtagged like
#pumpkincoffee it be-
comes a clickable, so a user
can find other tweets by
users who have hashtagged
the same word. Something
like #pumpkincoffee will
turn up lots of results, but a
hashtagged phrase like
#inthememetime will prob-
ably only turn up my tweet
or the very remote possibil-
ity of someone else's post
talking about this column.
This is a good way to find
people tweeting about simi-
lar topics.


The most important thing you should MONEY
I mum w. m


know whether you decide to get a
twitter account or not: It's called
TWITTER, not tweeter; you send a
tweet on twitter. This will at least
keep you from getting made fun of by
your peers, kids and/or grandkids.


Retweets, simple
enough if you want to share
someone else's tweet so
more people will see it,
mean you click the retweet
button below their post and
retweet it. This sends out
that person's post on your
Twitter feed so all of your
followers can now see it, too.
Mentions are, you
guessed it, when someone
gets mentioned in a tweet.
Like in my tweet at the be-
ginning of this column, I
mentioned @citruschroni-
cle, which is the Twitter ac-
count for the Citrus County
Chronicle. If you wanted to
mention me in a tweet, you
would type @DKerese.
Messages are ways
users can contact other
users without everyone they
both follow knowing about
it.
These are all the basics of
tweeting and, really, you just
learn it as you go like
most things. The most im-


portant thing you should
know whether you decide to
get a twitter account or not:
It's called TWITTER, not
tweeter; you send a tweet on
twitter. This will at least
keep you from getting made
fun of by your peers, kids
and/or grandkids.

what are the benefits of
doing so? PR, via email
DEAR PR.: I don't know
the answer as to whether
your house has to be kept in
a trust. Without details
about your financial life, no
one could give you a
straight answer.
Why was your name put
on the trust five years ago?
Was that part of your hus-
band's directions in a will
or some other instrument,
or did he do it before pass-
ing away?
In general, I don't see any
reason for a home to be in a
trust, but there may be
some very substantial cir-
cumstances in your life that
would make this a good
move.
Before doing anything,


you should sit down with
competent counsel and
find out exactly what would
happen in terms of taxes,
etc., if you took your home
out of the trust, and per-
haps its effect on other ob-
ligations in your life. Then
you can make an intelligent
judgment.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band became very ill a few
years ago. He went and saw
an attorney, brought home
some paperwork and I
signed it. He died shortly
after
I now find out what I
signed was a quitclaim
deed. I have no idea what
that is and what we did. Is
this something I should
have signed? L.E, via
e-mail
DEAR L.P: A quitclaim is
simply someone giving up
their rights not necessar-
ily their responsibilities -
in a piece of property If a


mortgage is still in place,
they are still responsible
for it, but they no longer
have rights.
You didn't indicate to
whom the quitclaim deed
was signed over; I'm hoping
it was you. If not, you prob-
ably should consult an at-
torney to get it straightened
out.

Nature Coast EMS
doesn't do calls
LECANTO Recently, more
phone calls and mail soliciting
funds for local EMTs and para-
medics have come back in full
swing. These calls are being
made on behalf of the Citrus
County Professional Para-
medics and EMTs Local 365
Union and International Associ-
ation of EMTs and Paramedics.
Nature Coast EMS is not affili-
ated with this solicitation and
our paramedics and EMTs do
not benefit from the donations
made. Nature Coast EMS is a
not-for-profit organization and
accepts donations; however,
we do not solicit in this manner.
The EMTs and paramedics
employed by Nature Coast
EMS are represented by a
union, International Association
of EMTs and Paramedics, Local
365. The Union participates
with a professional fundraising
company. This company calls
people and asks for donations
on behalf of the "EMTs and
paramedics in Citrus County."
The Local 365 has the legal
right to hire marketers to raise


BUSINESS


money for their union as a sep-
arate entity from and without
authorization by Nature Coast
Emergency Medical Services.
Nature Coast EMS does not
receive any money that is con-
tributed to the IAEP, Local 365,
and is not affiliated with said so-
licitation/fundraising efforts.
Inquiries as to the status of a
solicitor can be made with the
Department of Consumer Af-
fairs at 800-435-7352, or go the
agency's website a
www.doacs.state.fl.us.

to include their state
license number in all

don't see a license

should inquire about it
and be suspicious that
you may be contact-

Beware of any service

2012 The Year of the Bat!


Each year, on the last night of Oc-
tober, millions of children
across the U.S. dress up in cos-
tumes and take to the street for a
spooky dose of trick-or-treat.
In keeping with the Halloween
theme, let's shed some light on a mis-
understood creature of the
dark, the bat
Curiously, bats have been
feared and maligned by
man since the Dark Ages.
Some of this fear stems
from the misconception .,
that most bats carry rabies
when, in fact, less than one-
half of one percent carry
the disease. In actuality Joan B1
bats are an essential link in FLOI
the balance of nature. In FRIE
Florida, bats provide a
valuable service by con- LIV
suming mosquitoes and
other night-flying insects while pos-
ing little threat to human health.
To create global awareness of the
importance and benefits of bats, a two-
year-long initiative, "The Year of the
Bat," was undertaken by The Conven-
tion on the Conservation of Migratory
Species of Wild Animals.
There are estimated to be about
1,100 species of bats worldwide, ac-


counting for about 20 percent of all
mammal species. Only 39 occur in the
United States and of those, 18 occur in
Florida. Nine species of bats are
found in Citrus County, all of which eat
mosquitoes and other insects.
Florida bats are highly beneficial,
because they consume
tremendous numbers of
night-flying insects, includ-
ing mosquitoes. According
to Bat Conservation Inter-
national, a single bat can
capture 500 to 1,000 mos-
quitoes in a single hour!
Bats locate insects at night
using a very sophisticated
adshaw sonar system (echoloca-
IDA- tion), emitting supersonic
NDLY sounds and listening for
echoes. Bats are most fre-
ING quently seen on warm
nights feeding over bodies
of water, around buildings or forest
edges, or around lights. During the
day, bats find shelter in a variety of se-
cluded places, preferring small, dark,
poorly ventilated spaces that heat up
during the day Tree cavities, snags,
and especially unpruned cabbage
palms are important roost sites.
The Seminole bat roosts in Spanish
moss and the Northern Yellow bat


roosts in palm fronds. Due to increas-
ing urbanization, the number of these
natural roosting sites has been re-
duced, and window shutters, drain
pipes, billboards, roof tiles, and attics
have become popular roosting site
substitutes.
You probably haven't thought much
about it, but bats are mammals whose
forelimbs form webbed wings, making
them the only mammals naturally ca-
pable of true and sustained flight. By
contrast, flying squirrels and gliding
possums simply glide rather than fly,
and can only glide for short distances.
Bats do not flap their entire forelimbs,
as birds do, but instead flap their
spread-out digits, which are very long
and covered with a thin membrane.
Due to loss of habitat, bat popula-
tions are on the decline throughout
the United States. Disturbance of nat-
ural and man-made roosting sites in
buildings, old trees, and caves is a
major factor in this decline. Another
factor is active and persistent perse-
cution by people not aware of the bat's
gentle nature and beneficial activities.
Once bats have been excluded from
one habitat it is often possible to pro-
vide alternative habitats. Uncut wood-

Vase is an example of Bristol Glass; sizing up silver setting


Dear John: The enclosed
picture shows a vase that
my mother had for many
years. It has no markings on the
bottom, but I remember my
mother saying the vase
used to sit in her
grandmother's parlor.
My mother died at the
age of 100, seven years
ago so this vase has to
be over a hundred
years old. It is a very
delicate vase made of
very thin porcelain, I
believe. The flowers John S
appear to be painted SIKOR
on it with gold etching
throughout the design AT
and around the top
and bottom.
I would really love to know
more history about it if you have
any information that would be of
help. I do not plan to sell it, but
would like to know an approxi-
mate value for insurance pur-
poses. -J W, Homosassa

Dear J.W: I think your vase is
made of a glass referred to as
Bristol Glass. It was a decorative
glass made in Bristol, England as
early as the 17th century and on
through the Victorian
era. The majority of
the glassware made
during the late 19th
century was light-
S weight and opaque like
your pretty hand-
painted vase. Potential
dollar value is below
$100.
korski Dear John: Attached
SKI'S is a photo of a painting
in our family since
IC 1950. It is signed by
L.W Atkins. I can find
nothing about Atkins. The image
may have come from an engrav-
ing and been put on the canvas by
Atkins.
I have seen the image in a
frame recently The smaller pic-
ture could not have been copied
from my painting or I would


know the copy Also, 17 years ago,
I think I saw a reproduction of an
engraving in a frame about 14
inches by 10 inches. You can tell
the difference in the quality of
the art Any information to trace
the original source you can give
me will be appreciated. R. W,
Internet
Dear R.W: I was not able to
find any biographical informa-
tion or sales records for L.W
Atkins. The subject matter has
the look of a storybook theme. I
think it was produced in Europe.
It is not possible to speak to the
issue of quality without physical
examination. Potential dollar
value is catch-as-catch-can.
DearJohn: I have been given a
sterling silver Strasbourg
pat.1897 service for eight with
four serving pieces that was
given to my grandparents in the
1930s. I was looking for any infor-
mation on this set that would
help me in determining the
value. I was looking to purchase a


car for my daughter and wanted
to know if it would be in my best
interest to piece out, sell as a set
or melt down. Any information
would be appreciated. B.M.,
Internet
Dear B.M.: There is no specific
collector interest in your flat-
ware. The dollar value is based
on interest in the pattern or sil-
ver weight. To check and see
what you could sell the set for in
the pattern matching market,
contact Replacements Ltd. in
Greensboro, North Carolina at 1-
800-REPLACE (737-5223) or on-
line at www.replacements.com.
In addition, get a couple of bids
from local silver buyers. You will

cannot endure the torrid,
hot and wet summers in
Florida. These grow best
during cooler weather.
Snapdragon, a perennial, is
sold in Florida as a winter
bedding annual plant. It tol-
erates cooler days and brief
morning frosts.
There are about 40
species in the Antirrhinum
genus. Most evolved around
the western Mediterranean.
A few originated in western
North America, but no snap-
dragon is native to Florida.
Snapdragon flowers re-
semble the face of an ani-
mal. The botanical name,
Anthirrhinum, means nose-
like in ancient Greek. The
French call snapdragon
Wolf's Mouth or "guerule de


loup." Germans and Italians
call them lion's mouth in
their own languages.
The short-lived garden
snapdragon, A majus, orig-
inally from Spain, is a bushy
perennial valued for its
spikes of long-lasting flow-
ers. These snapdragons
rarely flower well after
their first year. The plant is
susceptible to a fungus
called snapdragon or An-
thirrinum Rust. Once the
plant has finished blooming
about February in north
Central Florida, it can be
pulled up and added to the
compost pile.
As soon as they become
available in the fall, plant
snapdragons in well-
drained, fertile soil and full
sun during Florida winters.
Amend sandy soil with
ample organic material such
as the fine mulch from Cen-
tral Landfill on State Road


44 between Lecanto and In-
verness. Top dress the bed
with an insulating blanket of
natural pine needles to pro-
tect the soil and roots from
expected brief frosts. If deep
enough, pine needles will
also deter sprouting weed
seeds from reaching the soil
and setting roots.
The top mulch also pre-
vents the sun from evapo-
rating soil moisture. Water
newly planted snapdragons
daily for a week or two, then
taper off watering as they
become established. Watch
for wilting, which indicates
the plant needs more water.
Winter garden Snapdrag-
ons are a cultivar in the Cor-
ronette series of Fl hybrids.
Selected and bred for com-
pactness and dense flower-
ing, snapdragons come in a
variety of colors. The seeds of
cultivars are usually not vi-
able or are sterile. Plant may


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

reach 18 to 24 inches high
and be of similar diameter.
Snip off spent flower heads,
a practice called dead head-
ing, to encourage repeat
flowering over the winter.
Cultivars have larger blooms
clustered heavily on tall,
erect spikes. They will all be
of similar height and size.
Winter bedding plants
brighten the garden from
fall to spring. Enjoy a
change of color while other
perennials are dormant and
resting over the winter.

sional Gardener and Con-

Get creative with U%2-5,

these sweet X4

seasonal staples

KIM COOK
Associated Press
One of the most enduring of Halloween
icons, candy corn is now over 130 years old.
Back in the early 1900s, when the little
striped treat was one of a variety of fondant .
novelties crafted into shapes like turnips, .- .
chestnuts and leaves, workmen had to run .
buckets of hot, sugary slurry back and forth
across molds to make it Today, companies ,
like Jelly Belly and Brach's produce over 35
million pounds of candy corn most of it
around Halloween.
"One of the reasons candy corn has re-
mained so popular is that it's a 'limited edi-
tion.' This is really the only time of year you
can easily get it, and that limited availability
makes it attractive," says Susan Whiteside, .
spokeswoman for the National Confectioner's
Association.
Candy corn has become not only a staple of
the trick-or-treat bowl, but an inspiration for
seasonal decor
Whether you're setting a festive scene or
just indulging a nostalgic affection, there are
lots of ways to use candy corn. You can even
make some yourself both edible and non-
edible versions.
Candy corn kernels have more visual im-
pact en masse than individually An array of
clear lidded jars filled to the brim looks won-
derful. Dump a bag or two in the bottom of a
hurricane or large vase; add a pillar candle, U4
Halloween ornament, or twisty branches
painted black or gold and you've got a great
centerpiece. A vy y
Woman's Day magazine suggests hot-gluing
kernels to Styrofoam balls for colorful bowl
fillers. (wwwwomansdaycom)

ding foam or paper cones, adding stems, and An image provided by

Cutting gardens yield beauty indoors and out


DEAN FOSDICK
Associated Press

Cut flower gardens are attractive
options for those who don't like re-
moving the best blooms from their bor-
ders and beds for indoor display
The bouquets also open new av-
enues for creativity along with becom-
ing something personal to share. And
perhaps best: The cuttings can grow
into a profitable sideline.
"Ours is a hobby gone berserk," said
Gail Burr, who with her husband
Steve, operates Everlastings and Time
Country Gardens in the Finger Lakes
region of central New York.
"We always had an interest in garden-
ing so when we retired, we started sell-
ing our bouquets and arrangements,"
she said. "The Canandaigua (N.Y)
Farmers Market is our primary venue,
although we also sell for weddings."
The price of a Burr garden bouquet
runs $8 and climbs to around $25 for
something larger, like a hospital spray
"In my mind, flowers that bring
beauty into the home should be af-
fordable." Burr said. "Typical florist
prices are precipitous for many."
The roots of cutting gardens go back
to the Victorian era or to wealthy
landowners who grew flowers for the
manor house, said Debra Prinzing, au-
thor of "The 50 Mile Bouquet" (St.
Lynn's Press, 2012).
"That's what we think of as cutting
gardens," she said. "One row of sun-
flowers, one of snapdragons, one row
of zinnias. Now, though, we're looking
at adding cutting ingredients to natu-


lu~ i Ifn


ral gardens. There's enough variety
there that you wouldn't have a bare
spot."
Which blooms are best for bou-
quets? The choices are vast, and in-
clude annuals, perennials, bulbs,
fruits, vegetables and flowering woody
stems. Think lilacs, zinnias, peonies,
mums, hydrangeas and sunflowers.
Don't forget roses, dahlias, cattails,
succulents, kale, grasses and lilies.
Many people have begun planting
perennials in their cutting gardens
with new genetics that produce
tougher plants, more blooms and
longer flowering times, said Anthony
Tesselaar, president and co-founder of
Tesselaar Plants, in Silvan, Australia.
"Once cut, these newer plants come
back with even more flowers that
grace the garden," Tesselaar said.
Some suggestions for prolonging the
beauty of cut botanicals:
Cut the flowers when they're dew
fresh in the morning rather than
wilted from the afternoon sun.
Use sharp shears to prevent
crushing the stems, which reduces the
flow of water to the blooms.
Use a commercial floral preser-
vative to acidify the container water.
Homemade formulas include table
sugar and bleach. "Adding some
lemonade also extends the life of the


water," Tesselaar said.
Growing a cutting garden is one
thing. Knowing how to create a stun-
ning display with the cut flowers is
quite another. Here are some tips:
Use a dominant flower or flowers.
Many designers prefer working with
uneven numbers, Prinzing said.
Insert a vertical feature, such as a
flowering branch or some ornamental
grass.
Drape the arrangement with
spillerss" (vines, foliage, fruit) that
soften its look.
Cut flower gardens boost the long-
standing tradition of garden-to-
garden sharing, Prinzing said.
"I have a friend who saves inexpen-
sive glass vases," she said. "When
someone leaves her house, they al-
ways leave with a bouquet of roses
from her house."

I Do you have a
Munroe story to tell?
Go to facebookcom/MunroeRegional
to share your Munroe experience.


Marie Buchman loves to cook. But when Marie fell down her back steps, she suffered a severe compound fracture of her left
arm. The ambulance rushed her to Munroe Regional, but still, Marie was afraid that her injury would mean that her cooking days
might be over. But before long, she was home and back to making the Biscotti that everyone loves so much.

Marie tells the story best: "You know, when you have an accident like I did, you want to go where you know you're going to get the
best care. I had two operations on my arm, and each time, I had the best of care. If I ever have to go in the hospital again, I'll be right
back there with the doctors I trust. And the hospital that I trust. Munroe Regional is my hospital."
Marie's story is just one more reason why there is a real difference in the quality of care at Munroe Regional. But it's no surprise.
After all, as the only community owned hospital in Marion County, we believe that every one of our patients, every citizen of
Marion County-anyone who entrusts their care, their family, their children and their life to Munroe Regional-deserves the best.
We believe that you deserve a hospital this good.

To watch Marie's entire story, visit MunroeRegional.com/myhospital.

Organizations are

making the community

a hot destination


City" have come together to get
things rolling in Floral City a com-
munity named for the wild flowers that
grew -and still grow -all over the area.
It's also a community known for the
natural beauty of its lakes and the Avenue
of the Oaks -Orange Avenue or County
Road 48. That canopy of moss-draped oak
trees attracts folks from all over who
come to photograph that scenic stretch of
highway
And while there's no doubt that the
scenery is a big part of Floral City's charm,


an active heritage council, an ambitious
merchants association and a bustling art
gallery all add more reasons to visit.
Throw in the Citrus County Chamber of
Commerce Strawberry Festival and the
annual plant sale and yearly garden tour
by the Floral City Garden Club and it's easy
to see why the
town is busier
than ever.
The Floral Flor
City Heritage
Council
operates the
Heritage Hall Museum and Country
Store and has created self guided tours
of the historic district, listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
A brochure is available at the museum,
8394 E. Orange Ave.
The council sponsors the Floral City Her
itage Days in early December and provides
Snippets of History at its quarterly meet


ing, where speakers provide information
on the areas rich history.
The Floral City Merchants Association
puts on Bikes & BBQ each year and the
Florida Artists Gallery offers continuous
classes and other education programs.
And those organizations complement
each other to
make events
1 even more ap-
St Y pealing. At the
recent
merchants'
Bikes & BBQ,
the heritage council opened the museum
and store free of charge and had ribs and
brisket, music and children's events, while
the art gallery was the location for a
custom and classic motorcycle show.
With gorgeous scenery, interesting
history and more fun events, it's easy to
see why the town is becoming
increasingly popular as a destination.

Miss Mattie, as she .
was called by .
everyone in Floral i
City, was town
postmaster for
nearly 40 years.
She was often seen -
wheeling the day's i,-
mail into the post
office for sorting.
Local kids often
helped her wheel
the cart from the o, ,
train station to the
post office, where
she would reward
them with a piece
of candy.


A valuable phos-
phate deposit was
found near Floral
City a few years
before the big -
freeze of 1894-95
devastated the
citrus-dependent '
economy. It did not
take long for the -
local economy to
shift from citrus to
mining and export
of phosphate.



Siblings Lillian,
Pamela, Faye and 4
Joe Ann Black play
on the banks of
Lake Tsala Apopka
with a patient pony
in the 1950s. The
water level was ex-
traordinarily low at
this time, producing
extensive beaches
that were popular
with the locals.


See the above photos
and many images never
published before in
"Images of America Flo-
ral City," which is avail-
able for sale at the Floral
S" City Heritage Museum
Store, 8394 E. Orange
Ave., Floral City, from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays
and Saturdays. The cost
of the book is $21.99.

Beverly Hills, Citrus

Springs and Pine

Nestled in the rolling hills between
County Road 491 and County
Road 486 is Beverly Hills.
Sam Kellner developed the
community over 1I \ .. ago as a com-
munity for northerners looking to spend
their retirement years in weather that
was warm in the winter.
Beverly Hills is now attracting first
time homebuyers who are making the
community more diverse with young
families now in the mix of retirees who
live in the neighborhoods.
It boasts a skateboard park, shopping
centers, medical offices, restaurants,
parks, golf courses and the county's


J


largest library, which hosts the county

Located in northern Citrus County,
Citrus Springs began in January1970 a
dream of the Mackle brothers and their
development company, the Deltona
Corporation.
The brothers wanted a community for
people of modest retirement income to
come and enjoy a Florida lifestyle.
The once retirement haven is now a
community with a lively mix of retirees
and young families, all living in the scenic
rolling hills, known for its tall pines.
Pine Ridge has the distinction (, I,, In *l
the largest equestrian center in Citrus
County.
It is a deed-restricted community of
more than 10,000 acres with almost 5,000
lots ranging in size from one to five and a
half acres. The landscape is dotted with
rolling hills, wooded areas, natural vegeta
tion, and its namesake pine trees.
It is a perfect place for equestrians to


live. From the picturesque pastures to the
stables and riding trails, it is a horse
lover's delight. A large number of lots in
Pine Ridge Estates are certified for the
stabling of horses, and there is approxi
mately 30 miles of horse trails for the 100
plus horses
stabled on
various lots C e

Community continues to shine
through changing times
T o some, it may only seem like a quiet community that
requires motorists to slow down as they drive through
on their way to someplace else.
However, slowing down is part of Hernando's charm.
A glimpse of the Hernando pool of Lake TsalaApopka is a
reflection of a pleasant, laid-back lifestyle that can be found in
the small community.
On and near the lake, old cracker-style homes, mobile home
communities with character and newer, upscale homes
combine to form a comfortable mix of diversity.

A haven to boaters and anglers, its quiet allure keeps anglers
coming back to try their luck.
Retirees, working folks and families come together to enjoy
sunset at the beach, a walk along the Withlacoochee State Trail
that cuts through
the community
or to look for a
treasure in some Hrd
of its shops.
The Villages of
Citrus Hills has
expanded among the
woodlands, rolling hills and meticulously groomed golf courses,
turning that area into prestigious neighborhoods.

Springs and river serve as

attraction for community

The Homosassa Spring produces about 100
cubic feet of water every second of every day.
All that water becomes the Homosassa
River, which flows nine miles to the Gulf of
Mexico and forms the hub of the community.
Residents and tourists il il. -.1 i i.v the relaxed envi-
ronment, whether it is watching the wildlife that flour
ishes in the forests and hammocks or wetting a
fishing line.
The picturesque beauty of narrow tree-lined streets
curving around Old Homosassa with its art galleries,
boutiques, waterfront restaurants, motels and mari


nas make it a boaters' paradise.
There's also a good supply of history going back to
the time when Native Americans called the area "place
where peppers grow" when it served as a seasonal
gathering place for ancient nomadic tribes.
The David Yulee
Plantation was
formed in 1846, and
was destroyed Homo sassa
during the Civil
War. The ruins of
the plantations
mill are a state park that
reminds visitors of the areas fascinating past.
Bringing the town's history even closer is a group -
the historic committee of the Homosassa Civic
Club -that has placed historic markers at
important locations.

Citrus County Solid Waste Management
2012 Recycling Up-Date
It's been almost eleven months since the NEW Single Stream
Recycling Program was implemented. The switch to single
stream has increased citizen participation by nearly
150o and increased the volume of recyclables
collected to over 3000 tons, which is a great
start. Not only has the new Single Stream
Recycling program been an environmental
success it has also reduced program cost by
$300,000 dollars from the previous dual
stream collection method.
The Board of County Commissioners would like
to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of the County for
supporting Single Stream Recycling through your increased
recycling participation. Your continued support will help the
county reach the State of Florida's new recycling goals.
To further these recycling efforts the Board of County
Commissioners is rolling out another new recycling program
for 2013 that will enhance our recycling goals. The
Landfill will now be accepting concrete waste
free of any other debris, at no charge, from
Businesses and residents. The concrete
collected through-out the year will be
processed into a useful recycled concrete
aggregate product that will be utilized on
Other County projects further reducing cost.
For more information please contact Solid
Waste Management.
Come visit the Eagle Snag Trail located at the
Central Landfill in Lecanto to see our
Bald Eagles, Hawks and other
species of birdlife. Call for more
information regarding days and times
for access to the Eagle Snag Trail.

Improvements at park
include shore bird aviary
and the river walk and
manatee viewing
The completion of two projects a
river walk and manatee interpret
station area and a new shore bird
aviary brought substantial
changes to the Ellie Schiller Homosassa
Springs Wildlife State Park to benefit
park visitors while helping to preserve
the spring environment.
The shore bird aviary -a photogra
pher's dream is four to five times larger

at the park


than the original shore bird exhibit. It is a
75- by 75-foot cylindrical structure that in-
cludes a waterway and pond with plenty
of native plant landscaping.
The structure -encompassing 1,125
square feet allows visitors to enter the
aviary for close-up views
of the birds, which pro
vides great opportunities
for nature photography.
The project was funded by P a
a $100,000 donation from
the Felburn Foundation.
Visitors to the aviary
will discover a wide variety of Florida
shore birds including ospreys, black
crowned and yellow crowned night
herons, little blue herons, green herons,
stilts, terns, ruddy turnstones and more.


I


The second $100,000 project the river
walk and manatee interpretation area -
was funded by the Friends of Homosassa
Springs Wildlife State Park.
It replaces the paved sidewalk and fenc
ing around the spring with an elevated
boardwalk and a 72 by 26
foot observation deck
with bleachers and a
Sk s glass viewing area.
k L The new boardwalk a
total of 3,612 square feet
gives visitors an unob
structed view of the first
magnitude springs and the manatee
program, which are offered three times
each day
