The robotic explorer is scheduled to blast off Monday, Nov. 18, on a 10-month journey to the red planet to study the atmosphere in an attempt to understand how Mars changed from warm and wet to cold and dry. MARS Continued from PageAl NASAs 21st crack at Earth's most enticing neighbor, coming on the heels of the Curiosity rover, still rolling strong a year after its grand Mar- tian arrival. When Maven reaches Mars next September, it will join three functioning spacecraft, two U.S. and one European. An Indian orbiter also will be arriv- ing about the same time. Maven will be the 10th or- biter to be launched to Mars by NASA; three have failed, testimony to the dif- ficulty of the task. "No other planet, other than perhaps Earth, has held the attention of peo- ple around the world than Mars," Grunsfeld said. Early Mars had an at- mosphere thick enough to hold water and moist clouds, said chief investi- gator Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmos- pheric and Space Physics in Boulder Indeed, water flowed once upon a time on Mars, and microbial life might have existed. "But somehow that at- mosphere changed over time to the cold, dry envi- ronment that we see today," Jakosky said. "What we don't know is what the driver of that change has been." Maven short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, with a capital N in EvolutioN is the first spacecraft devoted en- tirely to studying Mars' upper atmosphere. India's orbiter will also study the atmosphere but go a step further, seeking out methane, a possible indi- cator of life. Scientists theorize that some of the early atmos- pheric water and carbon dioxide went down into the crust of the Martian surface there is evi- dence of carbonate miner- als on Mars. Gases also may have gone up and be- come lost to space, stripped away by the sun, molecule by molecule, Jakosky said. Maven holds eight scien- tific instruments to meas- ure the upper atmosphere for an entire Earth year - half a Martian year The boxy, solar-winged craft- as long as a school bus and as hefty as a 5,400-pound SUV will dip as low as 78 miles above the surface for atmospheric sampling, and its orbit will stretch as high as 3,864 miles. Understanding the makeup and dynamics of Mars' present atmosphere will help guide humans more safely to the planet's surface, especially if the ship takes advantage of the atmosphere for braking, Jakosky said. NASA tar- gets the 2030s for the first manned expedition. The spacecraft also holds an antenna and radio to serve as a commu- nications relay for NASAs two active Martian rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity, as well as the next pair of landers to be launched in 2016 and 2020. Maven is considered so important that launch preparations were al- lowed to resume a couple of days after the start of the 16-day government shutdown. Maven has one month to launch; Earth and Mars line up just so, just every 26 months. So if Maven isn't flying by mid to late December, the spacecraft will be grounded until the begin- ning of 2016. The red planet is a noto- riously tricky target. The world's overall success rate since the 1960s for a Mars mission is less than 50 percent. NASA has attempted the most, 20 launches so far, and has the best success rate: 70 percent Russia, in second place with 18 Mars launches, has a dismal 14 percent success rate. China collaborated on one of the Russian flops. Eu- rope and Japan have at- tempted one Martian mission apiece; the Euro- pean Mars Express has had mixed results, while the Japanese effort fizzled. "We're never a success until we're at Mars and we're taking data and get- ting the science that these folks envisioned back in 2003," when the idea arose, observed NASA project manager David Mitchell.

West Palm Beach South Fla. standoff ends peacefully A standoff with a con- victed felon has ended peacefully after authorities say a South Florida man fired at bail bonds agents as they tried to arrest him. Palm Beach County sheriffs officials say bail bonds agents arrived at Kenneth Burroughs' home Friday night and were shot at by Burroughs. The sus- pect eventually came out of his home and was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, felon in pos- session of a firearm, shoot- ing within a dwelling, and child neglect. -From staff and wire reports Man who fell from plane likely found Presumed body of42-year-old Gerardo Nales discovered in mangroves KELLI KENNEDY Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE Au- thorities said Saturday that they've likely found the body of a Florida man who they say fell out of a private plane, three days into a land and sea search that in- cluded parts of the Atlantic Ocean near Miami. "Even though we presume that the body found is that of Gerardo Nales, investigators are pending 'official identification' from the Medical Examiner's Office," De- tective Alvaro Zabaleta said in a statement. The presumed body of 42-year- old Nales was found in an area of mangroves around 10:30 a.m., Za- baleta said. A day earlier, police air and water units were scouring the sea and had expanded their search area because of currents and wind. The pilot's identity has not been released, nor has the intended destination of the plane. Authori- ties said there were only two peo- ple on board. The pilot of the Piper PA 46 called for help Thursday after- noon, radioing "mayday, mayday, mayday" and telling an air traffic controller that a door was open and a passenger had fallen from the plane. The aircraft had just taken off from Tamiami Executive Airport, located south of Miami, police said. Federal Aviation Administra- tion officials said the plane was flying at about 2,000 feet, some eight miles southeast of the Tamiami airport. Police said investigators have no evidence of foul play According to a report on the MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle YMCA of the Suncoast's executive director Joanna Castle catches a ball as Angel Carey from Nature Coast EMS is forced out at second base early Saturday morning during a kickball tournament to raise money for the CREST School Inclusive Playground Project. Kicking for a goal ERYN WORTHINGTON Staff writer LECANTO Not handicap ac- cessible. No shade. Ancient play- ground. Each of these words describes the current recreational area that approximately 175 Citrus Re- sources for Exceptional Students in Transition (CREST) students have to play on. CREST's Inclusive Playground Project committee felt their men- tally and physically challenged students deserved a recreational area that offered an area for fun- centered therapy, while being handicap accessible. 'All of our students at our school have a disability so every- thing is going to be handicap ac- cessible for sensory issues that some of our students have and a lot of shade for those who can't be in the sun because they are med- ically fragile," said committee member Kelly Daugherty Therefore, the Playground Project committee is hosting di- verse fundraisers to raise funds to offer their students a piece of "normal life," Daugherty said. On Saturday, 12 community teams took Lecanto High School baseball fields for their second kickball tournament fundraiser "It's an opportunity for the players to have a great time and a wonderful way to get the community involved in raising money for our playground so that all of our students can have equipment that they can access," said CREST assistant principal Anita Moon. Daugherty said the school re- cently received a $25,000 grant from Play World for a piece of equipment. However, installation of this equipment is costly "So our next big thing is raising the money to have it installed," she said. "We have the equipment but all the fundraisers now are for installation." The much-needed new play- ground will enable nearly half the school to play at once. "This means everything to our students," Daughtery said. "It gives them a little bit of normal life. Some of them can't go into the public playgrounds because they are not handicap accessible. But it lets them be a kid and play" An estimated $3,000 was raised from the kickball tournament. "The real winners are the stu- dents," principal Lee Mulder said in an email. First-time homebuyer class this month Special to the Chronicle Citrus County Housing Services will offer a first-time homebuyer class to interested individuals. Par- ticipants who attend the entire ses- sion will receive a Certificate of Completion that is required for the SHIP and Neighborhood Stabiliza- tion programs and other first-time homebuyer assistance programs. The class encompasses the entire home-buying process including preparing your credit and finances, shopping for a home, home inspec- tion, fair housing, available loan products, loan pre-approval and closing. The class will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov 23, at the Citrus County Resource Center, 2804 W Marc Knighton Court, Lecanto.

"That's correct, sir," the pilot aid. "He opened the back door nd he just fell out the plane." Hotel wins honor PAT FAHERTY Staff writer A Citrus County hotel has been acknowledged for its service to guests with a national corporate award. The Holiday Inn Ex- press and Suites Inver- ness/Lecanto was recognized by InterConti- nental Group (IHG) at a re- cent ceremony in Las Vegas. The hotel and staff re- ceived IHG's second high- est honor, the Quality Excellence Award. "It's our first award ever from IHG," said hotel man- ager Karlene Feliciano, who accepted the honor in person. "We're extremely excited." She said they missed the top award, which they were aiming for, by 1.25 points. Feliciano ex- plained getting Quality Ex- cellence required very high guest satisfaction scores. About year ago, the hotel was ranked in the mid- 350s and is now in the top 10 percent, out of 1,800 Holiday Inns. The annual winners were honored at the cor- porate conference, which also involved classes and learning. There was an emphasis on "brand journey," a cor- porate effort to unify the guests' experience. She said this is to ensure whether you stay at a Hol- iday Inn Express in Florida or in North Dakota, you will get the same service. The four-day conference was her first trip to Las Vegas. She returned with a medal symbolizing the honor and the trophy ar- rived a day later And since it is a yearly award, Feliciano and her staff members are focused on next year as they head into busy winter season. In addition to the ongo- ing cleaning and mainte- nance, she noted they have added an amenity that guests should appreciate. Each room now has a charging station for guests carrying multiple elec- tronic devices. The sta- tions provide outlets, USB ports and cellphone holders. "To stay competitive in the business, you've got to stay on top of the trends," said Feliciano, who views "hospitality" as a very vi- able local industry "Peo- * ple are always going to have to travel." ed The 75-room Holiday .ty Inn Express with 27 em- ployees is part of in the se Ocala-based Hotel Devel- ve opment and Management ed Group, which also oper- ot ates the Quality Inn Con- ference Center at Citrus al Hills. il- Contact Chronicle re- w porter Pa t Faherty at 352- ic- 564-2924 or pfaherty@ chronicleonline. corn.

Hemingway screened "Run- ning from Crazy," on Friday night. The documentary explores her family's history of mental ill- ness and her efforts to escape it, on the island where her late grandfather Ernest Hemingway lived during the 1930s. She also hosted a reception at the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, where her grandfather penned classics including "To Have and Have Not." Other standouts among about 35 films in the festival include "I Am Divine," spotlighting a trans- vestite performer and featuring Waters; "Cubamerican," portray- ing the Cuban exile experience, and "Bending Steel," detailing strongman Chris Schoeck's physical strength and emotional struggles. The festival continues through today. MSNBC suspends Alec Baldwin's show LOS ANGELES Alec Baldwin's new weekly MSNBC talk show was suspended for two episodes after the actor was video- taped using an anti-gay epi- thet against a photographer Alec during a New Baldwin York street encounter.

Hemingway is among several film notables in Key West through Sunday for the Key West Film Festival. She screened her own film, "Running From Crazy," a documentary that explores her family's history of mental illness and her efforts to escape it. week and next, but the decision came the day after the Thursday run-in. In a statement on MSNBC website, Baldwin wrote that he "did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have and for that I am deeply sorry." He said his actions came as he tried to protect his family - presumably from the photogra- pher but were unacceptable and undermine "hard-fought rights that I vigorously support." The video, which was posted on TMZ, also drew a tweeted apology from Baldwin in which he claimed he was unaware the term he used was offensive to gays. MSNBC declined further com- ment. Baldwin's representative said in an email Friday night that the actor would decline to comment. Neighbors oppose Hirsch's turbine DENNING, N.Y. -Some res- idents of a town in New York's Catskill Mountains are trying to stop actor Judd Hirsch from building a 177-foot wind turbine on his property.

There are 44 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 17, 1800, Congress held its first session in Washington in the partially completed Capitol building. On this date: In 1558, Elizabeth I acceded to the English throne upon the death of Queen Mary. In 1869, the Suez Canal opened in Egypt. In 1962, Washington's Dulles In- ternational Airport was dedicated by President John F. Kennedy. In 1973, President Richard Nixon told Associated Press managing edi- tors in Orlando: "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook." Ten years ago: John Allen Muhammad was convicted of two counts of capital murder in the Washington-area sniper shootings. Five years ago: In their first meeting since the election, Barack Obama and former rival John Mc- Cain met at the president-elect's transition headquarters in Chicago, where they pledged to work to- gether on ways to change Wash- ington's "bad habits." One year ago: Workers using jackhammers began opening the concrete-encased grave of Pales- tinian leader Yasser Arafat in the West Bank so that investigators could check for a radioactive sub- stance, polonium-210, as part of a probe into whether he had been poisoned before his death in 2004. Today's Birthdays: Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., is 79. Rock musi- cian Gerry McGee (The Ventures) is 76. Singer Gordon Lightfoot is 75. Singer-songwriter Bob Gaudio is 72. Movie director Martin Scorsese is 71. Actress Lauren Hutton is 70. Actor-director Danny DeVito is 69. Thought for Today: "Since oth- ers have to tolerate my weak- nesses, it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs." -William Allen White, American journalist (1868-1944).

Sponsored by the Citrus County Chamber of Com- merce, Citrus County and High Five Dragon Boat, the festival brought an un- expected amount of spectators. 'A lot of the teams are from out of town," said Cit- rus County Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Josh Wooten. "We are exposing them to our beautiful lake system and county It's exciting from the stand point of us trying one of this magnitude. We think we hit a home run. We can certainly make this bigger and better moving forward." Since 2010, Homosassa has been the site of local dragon boat races. "Some of the clubs came to town and looked around," Wooten said. "They like the way that you have a natural am- phitheater set up here." Local spirit Club teams came from around the state; however, many locals competitors showed their dragon boat spirit also. "Eighteen of the 30 teams here are community teams from companies and organizations around Cit- rus County," said Christine Canevari, chief race offi- cial and director of mar- keting for High Five Dragon Boat production company "Twelve club teams that are organized dragon boat teams trav- eled here to compete." Each boat held 20 pad- dlers, 10 on each side, along with a steersman and a drummer The drummer's job was to beat the drum in sync with the paddlers, motivating the team to the finish line. The steersperson stood in the stern of the boat, guiding the boat straight down the race course with a 10-foot oar "We are a community group called the Crystal River Village, and we wanted something that we could all do together to get to know one another better and honor our veterans," said team member Nancy Russell. In addition to the races, spectators enjoyed festival activities throughout the park and at the Inverness Elks Lodge with food ven- dors, arts and crafts ven- dors, nonprofit and commercial exhibitors and live entertainment. All for charity Proceeds from the festi- val benefit the Wounded Warriors Project, local charities and county-run family programs, such as movies in the park, Wooten said. "I am overwhelmed by the support of the commu- nity and the nonprofits," he said. "I never dreamed that we would have 30 teams come to little old Her- nando to do this. I am a big believer in dragon boats after seeing how into this people are." Next event The next event will be March 15, to benefit the Community Food Bank.

Not long after that, Duke announced it would close of the Crystal River area nuclear plant. "I don't mean to be over- dramatic, but the reality of this situation is that our community and our local government, if we do not do something, is facing a real possibility of bank- ruptcy and a real possibil- ity of extreme financial impacts to local govern- ment," Meek said in de- scribing the financial mess he found himself in last year "We were not going to be able to provide services that would be required to citizens of the community and we were at risk if we did not act swiftly and drastically of going into fi- nancial insolvency" As with other commis- sion leaders, Meek began his year with a plan target- ing areas of focus includ- ing the ongoing problem of an economy dragged down by the decline in the real estate market High unem- ployment and lack of a di- versified economy added to the obstacles. In addi- tion, the BOCC was looking to fund public safety and fire rescue. "Three days after I was chairman is when Duke Energy announced they were disputing the tax bill with Geoff Greene (county property appraiser)," Meek said. "That was $16 million right away that hit us with. Short term, we had an immediate hole in our budget that we were already operating in. Long term, we had to build the budget for the next year" Bad got worse. "Then we were hit with the news of Duke Energy's decision not to rebuild the nuclear power plant," Meek said. "It meant mil- lions of dollars less in rev- enue, but more importantly the loss of hundreds of high-paying-wage jobs in our community." Smaller businesses in the county also were closing. "So we have had a per- fect storm, if you will, of major issues that we were confronting as a commu- nity and I'm proud to sit before you and I'm proud of the work your local gov- ernment has done to ad- dress these issues," Meek said. The chairman's plan al- ready called for a complete review of revenue and ex- pense analysis and options to address the existing budget shortfall as the top priority of five targets. "That was my focus be- fore any of the other news broke with regards to Duke Energy," Meek said. "We were using our re- serves. We had continued budget deficits that needed to end so we made When Experience Counts Most... * Advanced Cataiact Suigeiy with Piemium Lens Implants porta * EylidaSu ige ti E caepcils * Glaucoma & Diabetic Eyecaie Specialists ^ A -- ^B Board Certified Ophthalmologist LAWRENCE A.

Starting in January, the BOCC went through a sev- eral-month budget process. "We literally broke apart every category in local government," Meek said. "We went through a de- tailed presentation de- partment by department and rebuilt a budget for this next year We built a budget that still keeps costs low, but maintains services for the future." However, the new budget had a downside. "But we did raise the millage rate and we did implement a new fire fee," Meek said. "While that was a difficult decision, I be- lieve it was the responsi- ble decision and the right decision to make. The re- sult is we are now finan- cially solvent and stable as a community We have stopped the bleeding." Meek said he was proud of the commission's work and decisions because Cit- rus County still has a lower tax rate when compared to other counties. "With the millage rate increase and with the new fire fee, the average home- owner is still paying $150 less than what they paid three years ago in our community and it's still an affordable community in which to live with a high level of service to our resi- dents," Meek said. Meek's second target was enhancing economic development. "We are going right now through a detailed process working with our Eco- nomic Development Coun- cil to finally create a very proactive economic devel- opment plan that ad- dresses our situation, creates targeted indus- tries, looks at our inven- tory, markets and goes out and recruits," Meek said. The third task was work- ing with the cities of Inver- ness and Crystal River to develop partnerships and improve relationships. Meek said the county made "great strides" with Crystal River "With regards to the city of Inverness, we have a lot more work to do," Meek admitted. "We're not giv- ing up and we're going to try to find ways to partner Right now, we are working with them to look for ways to support their parks and recreation department. We're not where we should be. There's still a lot of work to be done." The fourth task was de- veloping a comprehensive and detailed long-range plan. "Our assistant county administrator, Cathy Pear- son, is taking that on," Meek said. "We rewrote our Land Development Code that changed a lot of areas in our community that were not as user friendly and specific as what they should be. It's a much better and long- range plan than what it was." The last endeavor was to focus on a specific envi- ronmental project within King's Bay "We are working closely with Save Crystal River, with Art Jones, with Lyng- bya removal and cleaning up King's Bay," Meek said. "It's really a joint effort be- tween the state, the county and the city, nonprofits and individuals in our community spearheaded by Art Jones and Save Crystal River The county is a big part of that and will continue to be." Meek ended his report by saying the county is pre- LOCAL KNEE PAIN? 44 I Attend a FREE Seminar: Ocala Quality Inn (Formerly Hampton Inn) 3434 SW College Road RESERVATIONS & INFORMATION: 1-888-685-1594 (toll free) www.LargoMedical.com Qg] Largo Medical Center SA Teaching Hospital FLORIDA KNEE & ORTHOPEDIC PAVILION Unstoppable savings now thru December 31st. s'r- ** ,^ .,' 1 I.

I OOGMJSIs CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Ryan in Iowa, O'Malley in NH with all eyes on 2016 Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H.- Governors get things done. That's the message from state leaders who are con- sidering a White House run as Washington slips deeper into political paralysis. Ambitious governors long have cast their ac- complishments in contrast to the capital's gridlock. But three years from the 2016 election, several gov- ernors are trying to grab more of the national spot- light, while Congress earns all-time low approval ratings. In events Saturday evening in two important early voting states, Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., was trying to highlight that contrast and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was try- ing to fight it. In the emerging 2016 field, governors with little national recognition are competing with better- known Capitol Hill figures burdened by the baggage of working in Washington. Courting voters in New Hampshire, home of the leadoff primary, O'Malley planned to promote him- self at a party dinner as "an executive that actually has to get something done and lives in a reality-based world, as opposed to the ideology and the make be- lieve that too many of our members of our Congress are living in." "I know that's what peo- ple across the country want," O'Malley, a former Baltimore mayor who's in his second term as gover- nor, said in an interview with The Associated Press. "They want leaders that will get things done." At about the same time Saturday, Ryan, the 2012 Republican nominee for vice president, was set to be in Iowa headlining a fundraiser for GOP Gov Terry Branstad. "We need a governor as president of the United States," Branstad recently told theAP Branstad has praised Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, as "the one guy in Wash- ington who does have a thoughtful plan." But Branstad points to only his fellow Republican governors as examples the nation should follow. Branstad, if re-elected, would have a closer look at the GOP field than anyone, as his party's host of the Iowa presidential caucuses. Last month, days after the partial government shutdown ended in Wash- ington, Branstad intro- duced U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as "a bright up and coming sen- ator" before launching into an indictment of the federal government and promoting the accomplishments of gover- nors in Texas, In the emerging 2016 field, governors with little national recognition are competing with better-known Capitol Hill figures burdened by the baggage of working in Washington. Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan. In each of the states, Re- publicans also control the legislature. Gov Chris Christie, R- N.J., scored a resounding re-election victory this month by promoting his success as a can-do governor "Under this government, our first job is to get the job done. And as long as I am governor, that job will al- ways, always be finished," Christie said during his victory speech.

"Real reform happens in the states," Walker said, according to prepared re- marks from the closed- door speech. Ryan has his own chal- lenges as an eight-term congressman. Gallup found this past week that just 9 percent of Americans approve of Congress' job perform- ance, a record-low The Pew Research Cen- ter found in October that just 1 in 5 surveyed said they trust the government in Washington to do what is right most of the time, while 8 in 10 said they only sometimes or never trust it, reflecting near record levels of distrust. Back in New Hamp- shire, the Democratic Party chairman noted that presidential primary vot- ers on both sides "have an inclination to support gov- ernors" over members of Congress. "Being a governor of a midsized state is not a bad place to start when it comes to New Hamp- shire," Ray Buckley he said of O'Malley Aides to O'Malley sug- gest he would not seek the Democratic nomina- tion if Hillary Rodham Clinton were to enter the race. But his status as a Washington outsider of- fers O'Malley a unique ar- gument in a Democratic field whose strongest prospective contenders are capital insiders - Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden. Gov BobbyJindal, R-La., hasn't ruled out running. Gov Rick Snyder, R-Mich., has tried to raise his na- tional profile as leader in a state where unemploy- ment has dropped more than 6 percentage points since he took office in 2011. Four of the past six presidents have been governors.

NATION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 All R^ee ogaeA A12 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 Obama struggles to save his cherished health law Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama's health care law risks coming unglued because of his administration's bungles and his own inflated promises. To avoid that fate, Obama needs breakthroughs on three fronts: the cancellations mess, technology troubles and a crisis in confidence among his own supporters. Working in his favor are pent- up demands for the program's benefits and an unlikely collabo- rator in the insurance industry But even after Obama gets the enrollment website working, count on new controversies. On the horizon is the law's potential impact on job-based insurance. Its mandate that larger employ- ers offer coverage will take effect in 2015. For now, odds still favor the Af- fordable Care Act's survival. But after making it through the Supreme Court, a presidential election, numerous congres- sional repeal votes and a govern- ment shutdown, the law has yet to win broad acceptance. "There's been nothing normal about this law from the start," said Larry Levitt, an insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "There's been no period of smooth sailing." Other government mandates have taken root in American cul- ture after initial resistance. It may be a simplistic comparison, but most people automatically fasten their seat belts nowadays when they get in the car Few question government-required Associated Press President Barack Obama pauses Thursday while speaking about his signature health care law, in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. It survived the Supreme Court, a presidential election and numerous repeal votes in Congress, but now President Barack Obama's health care law risks coming unglued because of his own mistakes explaining it and his administration's bungled implementation. Obama now needs breakthroughs on three separate fronts: the cancellations mess, technology troubles, and a crisis in confidence among his own supporters. safety features such as air bags, even if those add to vehicle costs. Levitt says the ACA may yet have that kind of influence on how health insurance is viewed. "An expectation that everybody should have health insurance is now a topic of conversation in families," he says. That conversation was inter- rupted by news that the Health- Care.gov website didn't work and that people with coverage were getting cancellation notices de- spite Obama's promise that you can keep your insurance. Obama maneuvered this past week to extricate Democrats from the cancellations fallout The president offered a one- year extension to more than 4.2 million people whose current in- dividual policies are being can- celed by insurers to make way for more comprehensive cover- age under the law This move by the White House was intended to smooth a disruption for which his administration completely failed to plan. But it also invited unintended consequences, showing how eas- ily the law's complicated frame- work can start to come loose. State insurance commission- ers warned that the president's solution would undermine a central goal of the law, the cre- ation of one big insurance pool in each state for people who don't have access to coverage on their jobs. Fracturing that mar- ket could lead to higher future premiums for people buying coverage through the law's new insurance exchanges, which offer government-subsidized private insurance. That Obama is willing to take such a gamble could make it harder for him to beat back de- mands for other changes down the line. On the cancellations front, the president seems unlikely to breakthrough. He may yet battle to a political draw. Obama realizes it's on him to try to turn things around, and quickly In the first couple of weeks after the website debacle, Obama played the sidelines role of "Reassurer-in-Chief." Now he's on the field, trying to re- deem himself. "I'm somebody who, if I fum- bled the ball, I'm going to wait until I get the next play, and then I'm going to try to run as hard as I can and do right by the team," Obama said Thursday at a news conference. Making sure the website is running a lot better by the end of the month may be his best chance for a game-changing play Although only 26,794 people signed up in health plans through the federal site the first month of open enrollment, 993,635 applied for coverage and were waiting to finalize deci- sions. For many it took hours of persistence, dealing with frozen screens and error messages. When states running their own sites are included, a total of 1.5 million individuals have applied. ouTAAA MotorGuide f4ERCLJRY S interize Your Boat Holiday Special 11 no/,, 1 F LABOR & PARTS I I0 % 0 / 0 l l on normal service) Now until Dec. 15,2013 | L 1~ I m *E AAA OUTBOARD MOTOR REPAIR 1422 S.E.

But some adults protested vigor- ously against one element of the beloved tradition they find racist: his ser- vant in blackface makeup, Black Pete. In the annual Dutch Sin- terklaas festival, St. Nicholas arrives by steam- boat in mid-November and spends a month in the coun- try with dozens of the Petes, clown-like figures who leave cookies, chocolate and other treats for chil- dren. The affair ends in a night of gift-giving on Dec. 5. Protesters say the Petes - servants who wear blackface makeup, red lip- stick and frizzy 'Afro" wigs - are blatant racist cari- catures and should be banned. But in a country where 90 percent of the people have European an- cestry, a large majority feels there is no racial in- sult intended by Black Pete. They say he's a posi- tive figure of fun and that the dissent is a sign of po- litical correctness gone overboard. The debate about the figure has gone on for years, but it is now electri- fying and polarizing - Associated Press A man holds a poster Saturday during a demonstration against "Zwarte Piet" or Black Pete, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. the Netherlands as never before. "The world is watching, and the Netherlands has been found wanting," anti- Pete protester Quinsy Gario told a group of about 300 supporters in Amsterdam, most of whom were black. Gario, a black artist who has emerged as the public face of the anti-Pete move- ment, has been subjected to unprintable insults and death threats for speaking out against the tradition. But at Saturday's protest he had trouble at times being heard over support- ers chanting his name. 'Rock Your Mocs' campaign Native pride at heart of event Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico - Elementary school students in western New Mexico are wearing their moccasins. So are students at Northern Arizona University, Pur- due and the University of Michigan. On the Cherokee Nation, there's a waiting list for Friday's moccasin- making class. And on a military base in Afghanistan, a soldier ties a beaded cross around her boot to symbolize her moccasins. Friday was "Rock Your Mocs" Day Coinciding with Native American Heritage Month in the U.S., the so- cial media campaign started by New Mexico student Jessica "Jaylyn" Atsye has gone global. The 21-year-old Laguna Pueblo member said the idea was simple - to set aside one day each year to wear moccasins to celebrate the cultures of Native Americans and other indigenous people. "When someone asks you, 'What do your shoes represent?' or 'What's the story behind your Wil Associated Press Participants display their moccasins Friday during the "Rock Your Mocs" celebration at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, N.M. The social media campaign started by Laguna Pueblo's Jessica "Jaylyn" Atsye has gone global, with Native American and indigenous people from as far away as New Zealand participating. moccasins?' there can be endless descriptions," she said. "They show who you are. They're an identifier They can bring unity" Moccasins historically were the footwear of many Native American tribes. Though their basic construc- tion was similar throughout the country, the decorative elements in- eluding beadwork, quillwork, painted designs, fur and fringes used on moccasins varied from one tribe to another Indian people often could tell each other's tribal affiliation simply from the design of their shoes, according to the non- profit group Native Languages of the Americas.

The couple take in domestic fowl, mostly chickens, that are neglected, abused and abandoned. Urban hens often abandoned once egg-laying ends DES MOINES, Iowa- Five chickens live in artist Alicia Rheal's backyard in Madison, Wis., and when they age out of laying eggs, they may become chicken dinner. "We get egg-layers and after a couple of years we put the older girls in the freezer and we get a newer batch," Rheal said. Rheal is a pragmatic backyard chicken enthusi- ast who likes to know what's in her food. But oth- ers find the fun of bringing a slice of farm life into the city stops when the hens be- come infertile. Hesitant to kill, pluck and eat a chicken, some people abandon the animal in a park or rural area. As a result, more old hens are showing up at ani- mal shelters, where workers increasingly respond to re- ports of abandoned poultry. "The numbers are ex- ploding. We had hoped that the fad had peaked and maybe we were going to get a little bit of a break here, but we haven't," said Mary Britton Clouse, who operates Chicken Run Res- cue in Minneapolis. A decade after Mass. ruling, gay marriage gains BOSTON In the decade since the highest court in Massachusetts is- sued its landmark ruling le- galizing same-sex marriage, 14 other states and the District of Columbia have legalized it, with Illi- nois poised to become the 16th in a few days. Such gains were consid- ered almost impossible be- fore Massachusetts opened the door on Nov. 18, 2003, with a Supreme Judicial Court ruling that declared a ban on gay marriages un- constitutional. Opponents made doomsday predictions about how gay marriage would damage traditional marriage and lead to prob- lems with children raised in same-sex households. SFC transit agency calls for union talks San Francisco transit of- ficials are calling for a re- turn to the bargaining table, saying an expensive provi- sion was "erroneously" in- cluded in a labor contract that settled a union dispute that had caused recent strikes. Late Friday, the contract with San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit's two largest unions appeared to be facing uncertainty as the agency said that it was seeking the renewed talks. After a closed-door meet- ing during the afternoon to discuss the issue and re- view its likely costs, BART officials said a family med- ical leave provision giving its 2,300 union workers up to six weeks of paid time off each year would be too expensive. -From wire reports Newsroom leaders across the globe face new era following revelations Associated Press MADRID -The spying revela- tions by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snow- den have made it a high-pressure, high-stakes time to be a top media executive. In Britain, the editor of the Guardian pulverized entire hard drives of data leaked by Snowden to keep the government from seizing them. In the United States, The New York Times pointed out in a major NSA expose this month that it agreed to self-censorship of "some details that officials said could compromise intelligence operations." And in Spain, the El Mundo newspaper said last week it would turn over Snowden documents to prosecutors inquiring whether the privacy rights of Spaniards had been violated. As revelations about the stag- gering scope of the NSAs surveil- lance have leaked out, newsroom leaders around the world have been weighing ethical decisions over how much they should reveal about intelligence-gathering ca- pabilities. Their decisions are guided, in part, by media protec- tion laws that vary widely from country to country "It's a new era. There are new questions coming up and there are no clear answers here," said Robert Picard, a specialist on media policy and director of re- search at the University of Ox- ford's Reuters Institute. "The media are trying to navigate it and it is not comfortable. You will get different opinions on the deci- sion-making in different news- rooms and within the same newsroom." The huge number of Snowden documents has generated a bar- rage of exclusive stories in the Guardian and The Washington Post along with a stream of reve- lations about the NSA surveil- lance in countries such as France, Germany, Spain and Brazil. In some cases, publica- tions that normally compete on stories have teamed up to get the news out Britain's Official Secrets Act guards against the dissemination of confidential material, and the government's response to the Snowden leaks has become stormier and stormier When Britain's deputy national security adviser warned that agents would confiscate the Guardian's hard drives containing Associated Press A survivor lights candles Saturday on a makeshift grave site of his father and uncle, left, on a field in Palo town, Leyte province, central Philippines. Residents decided to bury bodies of relatives and unknown people killed during Typhoon Haiyan on the field because they have started to decay and may pose a health risk. Hellish search Survivors, workers face grim task ofsearching for dead in aftermath Associated Press TACLOBAN, Philippines -John Lajara peers under a slab of crum- bled concrete, lifts a sodden white teddy bear then drops it back into the filth. He reaches again into the rubble and pulls out a boot, a treas- ured find in this typhoon-flattened village. But he's searching for something far more precious the body of his brother, Winston. For those still looking for loved ones missing since last week's storm, their already torn-apart lives are shot through with a difficult question How do you move on when there is no body to bury? The search for the missing - 1,179 by official count has be- come a hellish daily activity for some. In Lajara's seaside village, resi- dents estimate that about 50 of the 400 people who lived there were killed. About half of the dead are Typhoon Haiyan survivor John Lajara shifts through debris to find woods that will be used to rebuild his house in Tacloban, Philippines. still missing: mothers, fathers, chil- dren and friends. "Somehow, part of me is gone," Lajara said as another fruitless ex- pedition in the rubble ended Saturday Lajara has carried out the rou- tine since both he and his brother were swept from their house by Ty- phoon Haiyan on Nov 8. And every day has ended so far with no an- swers on Winston's fate. According to the latest figures by the Philippines' main disaster agency, 3,633 people died and 12,487 were injured. Many of the bodies remain tangled in piles of debris, or are lining the road in body bags that seep fetid liquid. Some are believed to have been swept out to sea. After the initial days of chaos, when no aid reached the more than 600,000 people rendered homeless, an international aid effort was gathering steam. "We're starting to see the turning of the corner," said John Ging, a top U.N. humanitarian official in New York. He said 107,500 people have re- ceived food assistance so far and 11 foreign and 22 domestic medical teams are in operation. U.S. Navy helicopters flew sor- ties from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington off the coast, dropping water and food to iso- lated communities. The U.S. military said it will send about 1,000 more troops along with additional ships and aircraft to join the aid effort. So far, the U.S. military has moved 190 tons of supplies and flown nearly 200 sorties. The focus of the aid effort is on providing life-saving aid for those who survived, while the search for missing people is lower in the government's priorities. Army to scrap 4 weapons incinerators Associated Press ANNISTON, Ala. -The Pentagon spent $10.2 billion over three decades burning tons of deadly nerve gas and other chemical weapons stored in four states - some of the agents so deadly even a few drops can kill. Now, with all those chemicals up in smoke and communities freed of a threat, the Army is in the middle of another, $1.3 billion project: Demol- ishing the incinerators that de- stroyed the toxic materials. In Alabama, Oregon, Utah and Arkansas, crews are either tearing apart multibillion-dollar incinera- tors or working to draw the curtain on a drama that began in the Cold War, when the United States and the former Soviet Union stockpiled mil- lions of pounds of chemical weapons. Construction work continues at two other sites where technology other than incineration will be used to neutralize agents chemically, ac- cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At the incinerator complex at the Anniston Army Depot where sarin, VX nerve gas and mustard gas were stored about 55 miles east of Birmingham the military this week said it's about one-third of the way into a $310 million program to level a gigantic furnace that cost $2.4 billion to build and operate. Tim Garrett, the government site project manager, said officials con- sidered doing something else with the incinerator, but the facility was too specialized to convert for an- other use. Also, the law originally al- lowing chemical incineration required demolition once the work was done. So teams are using large ma- chines to knock holes in thick con- crete walls and rip steel beams off the building's skeleton, which was previously decontaminated to guard against any lingering nerve agents or mustard gas. Metal pieces are being recycled, and the rest will be hauled to an ordinary landfill. "It's the end of an era," said Gar- rett, a civilian. The military said the incineration program cost $11.5 billion in all, with the cost of tearing down the four fa- cilities built in from the start. Snowden files, editor Alan Rus- bridger made the deal to have them destroyed. "I would rather destroy the copy than hand it back to them or allow the courts to freeze our re- porting," he said in August. "I don't think we had Snowden's consent to hand the material back, and I didn't want to help the U.K. authorities know what he had given us." As the pressure on the Guardian increased, the paper turned to The New York Times and ProPublica, a US.-based non- profit journalism group. The de- cision to collaborate was partly technical, reporter James Ball told an audience in London. But it was also a nod to what he called "First Amendment issues," noting that being based in the United States gave those working on the story the protection of America's press freedom laws. S World BRIEFS Baby bust Associated Press Some 15 million to 20 million Chinese parents will be allowed to have a second baby after the Chinese government announced Friday that couples where one partner has no siblings can have two children. Easing of baby policy may not result in boom BEIJING -Don't expect a new Chinese baby boom, experts say, despite the first easing of the country's con- troversial one-child policy in three decades. Some 15 million to 20 million Chinese parents will be allowed to have a sec- ond child after the govern- ment announced Friday that couples where one partner has no siblings can have two children. But the easing of the policy is so in- cremental that demogra- phers and policymakers are not anticipating an influx of newborn babies at a time when young Chinese cou- ples are already opting for smaller families, driving the country's fertility rate down to 1.5-1.6 births per woman. "A baby boom can be safely ruled out," said Wang Feng, professor of sociol- ogy at the University of Cal- ifornia Irvine. Wang noted that al- though Chinese couples where both parents have no siblings have for some time been allowed to have a second child, many have elected to have only one. Bomber kills 6 ahead US talks KABUL, Afghanistan -A suicide car bomber tore through the Afghan capital Saturday, just hours after President Hamid Karzai an- nounced U.S. and Afghan negotiators had agreed on a draft deal allowing U.S. troops to remain in the coun- try beyond a 2014 deadline.

Among the dead were two security personnel, he said. Sediqqi said Afghan se- curity forces had prior knowledge of the suicide bombing, but were unable to stop the attack. -From wire reports EXCURSIONS CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE harpers ferry -- ~- _______ DREAM VACATIONS oto0^ Contest The Chronicle and The Accent Travel Group are sponsoring a photo con- test for readers of the newspaper.

We have two young sons, both with de- velopmental issues. When I met Sarah, she had an older son, "Del," who was in the tempo- rary custody of her fa- ther's cousins. The cousins have raised the boy since he was 6 months old. He is now 13 and under- stands that our sons are his half- brothers. His biological fa- ther gets him on occasional weekends, and he al- * ways has had regular con- ANN tact with I Sarah and MAIL her parents. The cousins are good people. Del calls them "Mom and Dad." But they are in their late 50s and not in the best of health. Their financial situation is also not as good as ours. They also have an adopted daugh- ter who is 14. The girl was raped by a babysit- ter two years ago. Then, six months later, she ac- cused her dad of raping her My wife believes the girl said this for atten- tion, and although I agree that the dad doesn't seem capable of such a thing, it still wor- II .1 ries me. Sarah never gave up legal custody of Del. I re- ally love the boy and enjoy spending time with him. He lives nearby and rides his bike to our place fre- quently Del has asked questions about living with us, but Sarah says she could never take him away from his parents. What is the right thing to do? --Con- fused in Penn- sylvania Dear Con- fused: We com- mend you for wanting to take this boy, but we suspect Sarah feels over- whelmed rais- E'S ingtwo children with BOX developmental issues and is afraid to add a third child who is entering adolescence. Has there been an investigation of the alleged rape? If the charges are unfounded, it could indicate that the daughter is unstable. Examine your heart- felt motives and then talk to Sarah about hav- ing Del at your home more often and for overnight stays. See how he interacts with his half-siblings and how Sarah responds to his presence. We also rec- ommend you look into family counseling.

On Oct. 18, the U.S. military captured the armory Brown was tried for trea- son, convicted and hanged in Charles Town. The armory's fire engine and guardhouse, "John Brown's Fort," has been preserved and remains an attraction for visitors. 1861-1895: The Civil War ravaged Harpers Ferry as the Union and Confederacy fought for control, and according to the National Park Serv- ice, the town changed hands eight times during those years. Aug. 15,1906: The first meeting of the Niagara Movement on U.S. soil took place in Harpers Ferry, according to the National Park Service. The Niagara Movement, led by WE.B.

Places to visit: Jefferson Rock: a for- mation of rocks along theAppalachian Trail in Harpers Ferry Jefferson visited in 1783 and fa- mously wrote about it, saying the "scene is worth a voyage across the At- lantic." The landmark is an easy walk from St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church: Built in 1833 and altered in neo- gothic style in 1896, ac- cording to National Park Service documents, the church overlooks parts of town and the scenic gorge of the Shenandoah River It is the only church building in Harpers Ferry that survived the Civil War Stop in for Mass at 11 a.m. Sunday. Harpers Ferry Na- tional Historical Park: Much of Harper's Ferry is located within the park, and preserved buildings are open for visitors to view Sites of interest in- clude a boarding house, a bookstore, a clothing store, John Brown's Fort and Storer College.

Experience The Difference HONEST PROFESSIONAL COMPASSIONATE Mustangs fun to drive, bang for buck A s mentioned previ- ously, one of my how cars is a 2007 Ford Mustang GT Califor- nia Special. The Mustang has been around for many years, it is a great car for the price and lots of fun to drive. The original two- seat Mustang concept car was first shown to the public in October of 1962 at Watkins Glen, N.Y. It generated strong interest in a new type sports car image for America. That winter, the concept car was shown around the country A Ford executive stylist, who was a fan of the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane, is credited by Ford to have suggested the name. An alternative view was that a Ford division market re- search manager, a breeder of quarter horses, first suggested the name based on the name of a book he received as a gift titled "The Mustangs." I guess we'll never really know who first came up with the Mustang name. The Mustang was ini- tially based on the Ford Falcon, a compact car It was brought out five months before the normal start of the 1965 model year Production started in March 1964 and the new car was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. The earliest versions, often referred to as 1964, 1/2 models, were VIN-coded by Ford and ti- tled as 1965 models. The 1965 Mustang was Ford's most successful launch since the Model A. It cre- ated the "pony car" class of American automobiles - sports car-like coupes with long hoods and short uled to release in 2014, most likely as a 2015 Ken model.

Mustangs grew larger and heavier with each model year until, in re- sponse to the 1971-1973 models, Ford returned the car to its original size and concept for 1974. It has since seen several platform generations and designs. Although some other pony cars have seen a revival, the Mustang is the only original pony car to remain in uninter- rupted production over five decades of develop- ment and revision. It's hard to believe that there have been more than 8.5 million Mustangs sold since inception, most likely a world record for one model car The current generation of the Mustang was intro- duced in 2005 with a re- designed exterior in 2010. For 2011, all the Mus- tang's engines were re- vised with higher horsepower and several new transmission options. Ford and the Mustang Club of America are cele- brating the Mustang's 50th anniversary in 2014 with big events at the same time in Las Vegas and Charlotte, N.C..

RISAK Correspondent Ask people about the Battle of Bunker Hill and they'll tell you it was one of the engagements in the American Revolutionary War. Ask people about the Battle of Bunker Hill 10 and they'll probably say they thought there was only one. Unless they were with Gary Hille during a particularly dark period in the Vietnam War It was there that, about 40 years after the fact, Hille found out he had earned a Bronze Star with Valor Now a resident of Citrus Springs, Hille remembers the 39 hours he spent during a key battle associated with the Tet Offensive, launched by the North Vietnamese at the end of January in 1968. Bien Hoa was an air- base controlled by the U.S., with all sorts of military aircraft including attack helicopters stationed there. Hille was part of a significant, but small, group of Air Force personnel who weren't fliers or those entrusted with maintaining an aircraft's mainte- nance. Hille was part of the 3rd Secu- rity Police Squadron; his job was to protect those at the air base. "I was basically a grunt," he said, adding he was a 25-year-old staff ser- geant by that time. "I was part of a group of 300, and it was a large base. I worked strictly at night. But we had no tactical training we were totally un- prepared for what happened." What happened was the Tet Offen- sive, with large groups ofViet Cong pushing into South Vietnam. Bien Hoa, located about 20 miles northeast of Saigon and one of the largest air bases hosting U.S. aircraft, was high on their list of targets. Three groups of Viet Cong were assigned with taking the base. "I was off getting coffee," Hille re- called, "and by the time I got to the chow hall the rockets started coming in about 150 or so. I called in and asked 'Where do you want me?"' Hille was told to take his group near a bunker called Bunker Hill 10, origi- nally built by the French in the '50s that had been fortified and was part of a string of bunkers used to protect the base. "There were about 20 people," he said, "with four in the bunker I was told to take my four men and deploy 30 to 40 yards north of Bunker Hill 10 on a line with the fence." A fpI MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle Gary Hille of Citrus Springs remembers the 39 hours he spent during a key battle associated with the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War. A young Gary Hille in the 1960s. S.,,ineir 'Words RI . . . ... .. The air base was surrounded by three fences, with several thousand land mines between the outer fence and the middle one, and trip flares be- tween middle fence and the inner one. His area to protect was on the east side of the base. His group was commanded by Capt. Reginald Maisey, but when the action started, Hille was first back on line and he was in command. Of the ap- proximately 2,000 North Vietnamese sent to attack Bien Hoa, one group - those who were to attack to main en- trance got lost and never made it. The same couldn't be said of what happened on the base's east side, where there were about 700 of the enemy Hille had one M60 machine gun, a 40-millimeter grenade launcher and each man's M-16 automatic weapon. All were needed. The North Viet- namese found their way through the minefield and attempted to knock out the bunker, including four who tried to flank Hille's perimeter position. In- deed, with fire coming in constantly, it seemed at times they were sur- rounded. "We counted 28 rocket hits on the bunker after the fight," Hille said. One rocket killed Capt. Maisey Ammunition started to run low and Hille sent in a request for more. The ammo was sent, but only to the bunker Hille got two "volunteers" to navigate the approximately 40 yards through the heavy fire to get the much-needed munitions. Once re-supplied and able to isolate and subdue the four North Viet- namese trying to flank his position, Hille and his men concentrated on taking out the rocket launchers firing at the bunker "When they fire, they leave a trail of sparks, and we would spray that position with our M60," he said. Now commanding 20 men, Hille would move the M60 around so the enemy could not target it and elimi- nate it. "We were rocketed and mortared so much," he said. "That was my priority keeping my guy safe. "I got into some pretty close- quarters action. But I always took the notion that I wanted the other guy to die for his country" Hille, who struggles with post trau- matic stress disorder and a brain dis- order which has left him with several lapses of memory, said that his small unit managed to hold off several hun- dred North Vietnamese for "... 39 hours. We were going at it tooth and nail, constantly We killed damn near one-third of them." Several other awards for valor were given for that night's action, including one to Capt. Maisey Hille, a native of Brook Park, Ohio, enlisted in September, 1961, spending four years in Zweibrucken, Germany and a total of eight years in the service. * Submit information for the Veterans page at least two weeks before the event. * Early submission of timely material is appreciated, but multiple publications cannot be guaranteed. * Notes tend to run one week prior to the date of an event.

The NFC South rivals have just three victories between them, yet remain con- fident they are capable of rebounding over the remainder of their schedules. A year after going a NFC-best 13-3 and finishing one victory shy of reach- ing the Super Bowl, the Falcons (2-7) have been beset with injuries. They would be deep in the division cellar if not for Tampa Bay's even slower start. The Bucs (1-8) opened with eight straight losses before becoming the last team in the league to win last Monday night.

Associated Press -E k i '^ 0 * Associated Press Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, left, throws a block to take out Syracuse cornerback Julian Whigham, allowing running back Kermit Whitfield to score a 74-yard touchdown in the first quarter Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla Orange crushed A week after trouncing Wake Forest 59-3, FSUhad Syracuse seeing double Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Jameis Winston showed no effects from a tumul- tuous week during No. 2 Florida State's 59-3 win against Syracuse on Saturday. The redshirt quarterback com- pleted 19-of-21 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns as the Seminoles rolled during the Atlantic Coast Conference game. News broke Wednesday that Winston was under investigation for an alleged sexual assault that took place Dec. 7, 2012. The attention of college football enthusiasts moved away from his Heis- man Trophy campaign to the many unanswered questions surrounding an investigation that is nearly a year old. On the field, it was business as usual for the Seminoles (10-0, 8-0) on Satur- day Syracuse (5-5, 3-3) was held score- less until late in the fourth quarter Florida State outgained the Orange 523-427. "I thought he played exceptionally well," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said about Winston. "His mind was re- ally in the game." The Seminoles scored 28 first-quar- ter points before the Orange recorded 28 yards of total offense and Winston was the star The quarterback com- pleted his first 11 attempts and looked completely comfortable. Florida State was up 21-0 when Win- ston threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Rashad Greene with 40 seconds re- maining in the first quarter He lobbed a 6-yard touchdown pass to 6-foot-5 re- ceiver Kelvin Benjamin to go up 35-0 with 11:52 left in the second quarter. Winston's night ended at halftime and Florida State holding a 38-0 lead Syracuse clearly made the decision to defend the deep ball and worry less about underneath routes. Winston took the easy, open throws and didn't force the ball into tight spots. The Florida State defense continued to dominate and showed why it's the No. 4 scoring defense in the FBS. The unit allowed 68 yards on 30 plays in the first half while the Seminoles' offense had 374 yards on 32 plays. The Orange managed just four first downs in the first half while punting five times. Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt completed 10-of-18 passes for 75 yards. Backup Drew Allen entered the game in the third quarter and completed 5-of-9 passes for 29 yards with an interception. Florida State hosts Idaho next week. Syracuse hosts Pitt. Sean Maguire replaced Winston with second-stringer Jacob Coker out for the season after having knee surgery this week. The redshirt freshman was 3-of-5 for 21 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Seminoles are second in the BCS standings and are likely three victories away they play Idaho, Florida and the ACC championship game in the next three weeks from locking up a spot in the BCS championship game. UF drops nailbiter to S.C. for fifth loss in a row Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. Elliott Fry kicked four field goals and No. 11 South Carolina won its school-record 16th straight at home, sending banged-up Florida to its fifth consecutive loss with a 19-14 victory Satur- day night. The Gamecocks (8-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) struggled to score points against the Gators' SEC-lead- ing defense until Fry gave them a 16-14 lead with a 22- yard field goal with 6:43 re- maining. Trailing 19-14, Gators fresh- man quarterback Skyler Morn- hinweg led the Gators into South Carolina territory but was intercepted by Jimmy Legree to end the threat. This is the longest losing streak for Florida (4-6, 3-5) since drop- ping nine straight during its 0- 10-1 season in 1979. The Gamecocks' win kept them in the SEC's Eastern Di- vision race. They got a large boost in the bid for the title game with Auburn's last-sec- ond, tipped-ball comeback to defeat Georgia. The Game- cocks still need Missouri to lose once more.

Tampa Bay has had its share of in- juries, too. Still, there's no escaping that until the Bucs faced the Dol- phins, they had not played well enough for an entire game to win. The Bucs held fourth-quarter leads in four of their eight setbacks, losing each time in the final 89 sec- onds of regulation or overtime. They enter a rematch against the Falcons on Sunday eager to build on giving Seattle fits before falling in OT two weeks ago, and finally get- ting over the hump against Miami. "It does feel like a weight has been lifted," Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. "We're not relaxing, but we're not thinking about (being winless) any- more. ... After getting a win, you get that feeling you've always been looking for," McCoy added. "Now, it's kind of like: 'I need to keep feel- ing it,' so we're going to work even harder than we've been working to get the first win to get the second one, and the third one, and the fourth one." The Falcons have not gotten the desired results this season, but coach Mike Smith doesn't fault the team's effort. "It's very difficult when you don't get the outcome that you want. Everybody has high expectations and nobody has higher expectations than our players," Smith said. "You can't look at it as the season is over The season is not over," the coach added. "Whatever your record is, you've got to go out and compete each and every day" Five things to watch as the Fal- cons try to stop their three-game slide, and the Bucs attempt to build on their first victory: All on Ryan With WR Julio Jones out for the season, and White and RB Steven Jackson hobbled for much of the schedule, QB Matt Ryan has been carrying a heavier burden than usual for the Falcons. They are sixth in the NFL in passing offense, but last in rushing. Jackson returned three weeks ago, but falling behind early has limited opportunities to run the ball. Stuffing the run The Bucs set a franchise record, limiting the Dolphins to 2 yards rushing. The Falcons averaged 1- yard per carry against Tampa Bay last month, finishing with 18 yards on 18 attempts. Ryan stepped up to pace an eight-point Atlanta win, completing 20 of 26 passes for 273 yards, three touchdowns and no in- terceptions. Baby steps Rookie QB Mike Glennon had his first fourth-quarter comeback win against Miami, leading an 80-yard drive that put the Bucs ahead for good with 10 minutes remaining. Before throwing a third-quarter in- terception, the third-round draft pick attempted 158 consecutive passes without a pick. He hasn't been flashy, but he has improved steadily in six starts. Trick plays Falcons defense beware. The Bucs have scored on gadget plays the past two games, with RB Mike James flipping a 2-yard jump pass to TE Tom Crabtree against the Sea- hawks, and Glennon throwing a 1- yard TD pass to LT Donald Penn against the Dolphins. Slow 'em down The Falcons haven't won since beating the Bucs four weeks ago. They've been outscored 94-33 dur- ing their skid, losing each game by a minimum of two touchdowns. Memphis shuts down sputtering USF Associated Press TAMPA Jake Elliott kicked a pair of first-half field goals, one of them a 56-yarder that hit the cross- bar and bounced through to help Memphis beat sputtering South Florida 23-10 for the Tigers' first American Athletic Conference vic- tory on Saturday night. The Tigers (3-6,1-4) broke open a close game, driving 59 yards in eight plays to score on a 5-yard run by Brandon Hayes that made it 13-3 with 4:09 remaining. Dion Witty's interception and 22- yard return set up Elliott's third field goal of the night, and Bobby McClain ran back an interception 37 yards for a touchdown to turn it into a rout USF (2-7,2-3) avoided going with- out an offensive touchdown for the fifth time when Mike White threw a 31-yard scoring pass to Andre Davis with 46 seconds left. SCOREBOARD SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 B3 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE 'Canes bedeviled Duke stuns No. 24 Miami 48-30for 'Canes'third straight defeat Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. - Miami couldn't stop Duke's running game. And once the Blue Devils started scoring, the 24th- ranked Hurricanes' of- fense couldn't keep up. "There's enough blame to go around in this game," coach Al Golden said. The Hurricanes' free-fall continued Saturday when Duke beat them 48-30. Their third straight loss dropped them down the ACC Coastal Division standings and probably out of the national rank- ings, too. A win would have put Miami in control of the di- vision and set up a re- match with No. 2 Florida State in the league cham- pionship game. Instead, it's the Blue Devils who have the inside track to Charlotte. "It's really about execut- ing, and we didn't do that well enough," Golden said. "Duke did." Dallas Crawford rushed for 115 yards and Stephen Morris threw for 379 and two touchdowns but the Hurricanes (7-3, 3-3) lost their third straight since climbing to No. 7. They've allowed at least 41 points in each loss. They could stop neither Brandon Connette nor the Blue Devils' ground game. The Blue Devils rolled up 358 yards rushing by far, the most by a David Cutcliffe-coached team at either Duke or Mississippi - against a Miami run de- fense that gives up an av- erage of 152. Connette rushed for a career-high four touch- downs and threw for a fifth for Duke. The change-of- pace quarterback had touchdown runs of 1, 2, 3 and 4 yards, and threw a 22-yard TD to Shaq Powell. Duke (8-2, 4-2) for years, one of the nation's worst programs in a power conference claimed its sixth straight win, and it ranks as one of the most significant in school history "I remember when I first got here, the team hadn't won a game in, like, three years," running back Josh Snead said. Cutcliffe told him: "'Just believe. Believe in the process.' We got a lot of guys that be- lieve in this process, and we're here today" Snead rushed for a ca- reer-high 138 yards and Powell added a back- breaking 33-yard touch- down run that put the Blue Devils in complete com- Associated Press Duke's Jeremy Cash breaks up a pass intended for Miami's Malcolm Lewis during the first half Saturday in Durham, N.C. mand of a wild game that featured 1,108 total yards and three lead changes. Ross Martin gave Duke the lead for good late in the third quarter when he banked in a 48-yard field goal off the upright late to make it 31-30. No. 3 Ohio State 60, Illinois 35 CHAMPAIGN, III. Carlos Hyde ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns and Braxton Miller had another 184 yards rushing and two scores Satur- day to push No. 3 Ohio State past Illinois 60-35. But even with Hyde's offen- sive explosion, the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) needed a third-quarter defensive stop and safety to secure the win. After trailing 28-0 in the second quarter, Illinois (3-7, 0-6) closed to 35-21 in the third on two Nathan Scheel- haase touchdown passes. Illinois had the momentum when the Buckeyes' Ryan Shazier sacked backup quar- terback Reilly O'Toole in the end zone. Illinois recovered his fumble but the safety gave the Buckeyes a 37-21 edge and the ball. No. 6 Oregon 44, Utah 21 EUGENE, Ore. Marcus Mariota's knee didn't matter all that much against Utah. Oregon's sophomore quar- terback threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns and the sixth-ranked Ducks re- bounded from last week's loss to Stanford with a 44-21 vic- tory over Utah on Saturday. De'Anthony Thomas caught a touchdown pass and scored on an 86-yard kickoff return for the Ducks (9-1,6-1 Pac-12). Byron Marshall ran for two additional scores but the Ducks were slowed on the ground by Utah's defense, rushing for 145 yards after av- eraging nearly 302 yards a game this season. No. 7 Auburn 43, No. 25 Georgia 38 AUBURN, Ala. Ricardo Louis scored on a deflected 73-yard pass on fourth and 18 with 25 seconds left to lift No. 7 Auburn to a stunning 43-38 victory over No. 25 Georgia on Saturday night. The Tigers (10-1,6-1) had blown a 27-7 lead but pulled out one more huge play to continue the biggest turn- around in major college foot- ball. From 3-9 last year, they can win the SEC West with a victory in two weeks against No. 1 Alabama. Auburn's Nick Marshall heaved the ball downfield with two defenders around Louis. It bounced off safety Tray Matthews and right into Louis's hands. No. 12 Okla. St. 38, No. 23 Texas 13 AUSTIN, Texas Clint Chelf ran for two touchdowns and No. 12 Oklahoma State stayed in the Big 12 champi- onship chase by beating No. 23 Texas 38-13. Chelf also threw two scor- ing passes as Oklahoma State (9-1,6-1 Big 12) won in Austin for the third straight time. This one may renew pressure on Texas coach Mack Brown, who was dealt his worst home loss in 16 seasons at a time when spec- ulation about his job security had just begun quieting down. No. 14 Mich. St. 41, Nebraska 28 LINCOLN, Neb.- No. 14 Michigan State converted five Nebraska turnovers into 24 points and took a big step to- ward winning the Big Ten Leg- ends Division with a 41-28 victory on Saturday. Jeremy Langford ran 32 times for 151 yards and scored two touchdowns, and Keith Mumphrey caught a 27- yard touchdown from Connor Cook in the fourth quarter after the Cornhuskers pulled within six points. The Spartans (9-1,6-0) beat the Huskers (7-3, 4-2) for the first time in eight all-time meetings. They would clinch the division with a win at Northwestern next week or a loss by Min- nesota in either of its last two games. No. 15 UCF 39, Temple 36 PHILADELPHIA- Shawn Moffitt kicked a 23-yard field goal as time expired after Rannell Hall got behind the Temple defense for a 64-yard reception, and No. 15 UCF survived a scare with a 39-36 victory Saturday. UCF's last possession started at its own 19, with no timeouts. Overtime seemed likely until Blake Bortles found Hall deep to get to the Temple 6. Bortles managed to get the ball spiked with 2 seconds left and Moffitt booted through the game-winner to keep UCF (8-1, 5-0) in control of the American Athletic Conference race. Temple drops to 2-78 all-time against Top 25 opponents. No. 17 Wisconsin 51, Indiana 3 MADISON, Wis. James White rushed for a career- high 205 yards and Melvin Gordon added 146 as No. 17 Wisconsin beat Indiana 51-3 on Saturday. The Badgers (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) came in expecting a big game on the ground against the conference's 10th-ranked rushing defense with the Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4) giving up an average of more than 217 yards a game. Wisconsin topped that just minutes into the second quar- ter, had 323 yards rushing at the half and finished with 554. No. 22 Oklahoma 48, Iowa State 10 NORMAN, Okla. Bob Stoops matched Barry Switzer's record for most coaching vic- tories at Oklahoma when the 22nd-ranked Sooners cruised to a 48-10 victory over Iowa State on Saturday. Trevor Knight led the way as Stoops recorded win No. 157 with Oklahoma (8-2, 5-2 Big 12), which closed the game with 45 unanswered points over the final three quarters. The backup quar- terback was 8 of 14 passing for 61 yards and rushed for 123 yards and one touch- down. No. 19 Louisville 20, Houston 13 LOUISVILLE, Ky. Do- minique Brown ran for a ca- reer-high 137 yards and two touchdowns, including the go- ahead score in the third quar- ter, and No. 19 Louisville held on to beat Houston 20-13 on Saturday night. Listless on both sides of the ball and trailing 13-10 at half- time, Louisville turned to Brown, who carried 11 times in the third quarter for 50 yards and a touchdown run. Brown finished with 27 carries. The defense awakened to hold the Cougars (7-3, 4-2 American Athletic Confer- ence) to just 41 second-half yards and help the Cardinals (9-1,5-1 American Athletic Conference) win their third straight game and stay within reach of first-place Central Florida. Louisville's Teddy Bridge- water completed 19-of-29 passes for 209 yards but had his streak of 21 games with a touchdown pass end at 21. DeVante Parker had four re- ceptions for 72 yards, includ- ing a 39-yarder that set up Brown's second TD run. Nationwide title goes to Dillon after he holds off Hornish Keselowski tak& checkered at Homestead Associated Press HOMESTEAD, Fla.- Austin Dillon won the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship, holding off Sam Hornish Jr in a wild season finale Saturday Sprint Cup regular Brad Keselowski won the race after moving up 10 spots in the final laps. Dillon, driving the famed No. 3 for his grandfather, Richard Childress, finished 12th. It was good enough to hold off Hornish by three points. Hornish crossed the line eighth. "We didn't have the car tonight at all," Dillon said. "Probably the worst car we had all year But we fought. My guys kept me positive in the car I just knew I had to go on that last restart. I've been criticized for restarts for a long time, and that was a pretty good one." Hornish looked as if he would overcome an eight-point deficit in the standings for much of the 200-lap race, but a lengthy caution late posed problems. Hor- nish dropped from third to ninth on the final restart with five laps to go, ending his chances at getting a title in what could be his final race for Penske Racing. Keselowski got new tires during the final caution and used them to weave his way through traffic. He went from llth to first in a two-lap span after the restart. And once he was out front, no one was catching him. Certainly not Dillon and Hornish, who were on old tires. Keselowski finished the season with seven victories, all in the last 10 of his 16 series starts. Rookie Kyle Larson finished second, fol- lowed Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Trevor Bayne. There were 12 laps under the final caution, a lengthy delay that sur- prised drivers and crew chiefs. A wreck involv- ing Regan Smith, Mike Wallace and Jeremy Clements brought out the yellow flag with 17 to go and led to an ex- tended cleanup for oil. "We missed it after that late race caution," Hornish said. "We were exactly where we needed to be." Pirates finish third in Weeki Wachee duals tournament TONY CASTRO Chronicle correspondent WEEK WACHEE -All three Citrus County wrestling programs walked away with positive fin- ishes at the conclusion of Satur- day's two-day, 16-team Weeki Wachee High Duals Tournament Unlike last year, when the Venice Indians went unbeaten to capture the inaugural event, Venice and Gainesville High tied in the championship match at 34 all. It took an additional 15 min- utes to sort through the tourna- ment tiebreakers. On criterion "H" most first points scored in a match the Hurricanes de- nied the Indians a repeat, 7-5. The Alachua County mat men, who concluded the 40th FHSAA 2A State Finals in Lakeland in 29th place, concluded the event 8-0 while Venice, which placed 46th at 2A states, finished 7-1. GHS' Jon Garner, at 126 pounds, was voted by the coaches as meet's Outstanding Wrestler Class lA-5's Crystal River en- joyed the finest finish of any Cit- rus County program, placing third. Veteran mentor Craig Freder- ick's Pirates (7-1) solved Coun- tryside (65-12), Lecanto (62-18), and Belleview (51-15) in Friday's opening round. On Saturday, CRHS crushed Central (59-13) and Land 0' Lakes (48-21) before falling at the hands of Venice (48-21). The Pirates bounced back to humble Hernando (41-11) before edging Nature Coast Technical for third place, 40-31. NCT led once after eight bouts, 22-18, following Dean Brooks' 3:42 pin over Mitchell Foster The Pirates responded with back-to-back-to-back forfeit nods by frosh Dalton David at 106, senior Kyle Butram at 113 and frosh Austin Edwards at 120, restoring order by building a 36- 22 cushion. Overall, Frederick was pleased with the Pirates' efforts, especially with Andrew Bilby not in uniform due to an ankle sprain suffered Friday night "Not having a Bilby hurt us today," Frederick said. "He'll be back butwe had to adjustthe lineup today and go with two JV kids at 170 and 195. Still, third isn't bad. "I was real proud of our fresh- man 145-pounder (C.J. Lawson). He pinned a good kid from Na- ture Coast (Raivyn Alicea) to help us win that match." The Pirates were paced by a pair unbeaten performers: Je- remy Burcroff at 160 and Michael Allan at 132. Burcroff, who competed mostly on the JV level last win- ter, finished 8-0 with three pins. "I know I could have wrestled better," said the 17-year-old Bur- croff. "I'm still not in the best shape. I was lucky that I won a couple matches by one point. I know I have to do a better job on takedowns. "That's kinda tough for me be- cause I'm 6-foot-3. I realize I have to get faster" Allan, who finished 0-2 in his first state appearance last Feb- ruary at the Jenkins Arena, opened the season 8-0 with four pins. In evaluating his perform- ance, "I'd say I overachieved. My matches weren't really close," said the 17-year-old Allan. "There's plenty of room for improvement. There are a lot of things I have to work harder on. Luckily, one of them isn't my conditioning." Citrus places seventh The Citrus Hurricanes opened with a seventh-place fin- ish behind a 5-3 effort. The 2A-5 Golden Hurricanes opened the meet by drubbing Lake Wales (51-21) before drop- ping a heart-breaker to host Weeki Wachee (33-32). CHS closed Day 1 by pasting Trinity Catholic (72-15). On Saturday, CHS opened with a forfeit over no-show Hud- son, before being edged by NCT (43-33). Gainesville handled the Canes (42-31) before rumbling over Ridgewood (63-12). The 'Canes bopped Hernando (60-24) to finish seventh. Second-year Hurricane men- tor Jeff Wood wasn't terribly upset with his team's finish. "I thought we'd end up 3-4," he said. "When you look at it, we wrestled tough against Nature Coast and Gainesville, but dropped two close matches. It was kinda the same thing with Weeki Wachee. "Overall, this is still a young team, but I'm happy we had a couple kids go undefeated." 2013 state qualifier Casey Bearden finished 8-0 with four pins at 170. "I felt like I could've done bet- ter," said 17-year-old Bearden, who finished 1-2 at states. "I al- ways look at it like I under- achieved leaving room for improvement." Another 2013 state qualifier, Brandon Taylor, finished 8-0 with a team-best seven pins at 182. "For our first tournament, we got rid of a lot of first-match jit- ters," explained the 17-year-old Taylor "I think this team is gonna start picking up momentum." Lecanto places 11th The 2A-5 Lecanto Panthers ar- rived shorthanded. Two of their finest grapplers remained at home in Jonah Nightengale and Matthew Wheat LHS finished 2-6 overall. The Panthers dropped their first four matches before crunching Central (51-18). Lecanto concluded the night on a positive note by trimming Ridgewood (54-15) for 11th place. Senior Chris Ewing etched a solid team-best 7-1 win-loss mark at 182. "For a lot of our guys, this (tourney) was exactly what they needed," pointed out LHS skip- per Scot Roberts. 'A few guys thought they were a little better than what they are. "The tournament provided good matches and a bunch of guys with their first wins at the varsity level," he added. "I was happy with our pool; everyone except Central had nearly a full lineup." On Ewing, "I saw someone who is learning to wrestle bigger guys. He put on 25 pounds since last year The goal was to get competitive matches for every- body I told my wife, 'We didn't hardly win, but we got good matches in."' B4 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 SPORTS CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE 49ers-Saints almost best Week 11 game Associated Press The 49ers at the Saints, a bat- tle for NFC supremacy That's what the script might have called for, except that the Seahawks have trumped both of them so far And nobody wants to go to Seattle in the postseason. So San Francisco and New Or- leans will do everything possible to get lined up behind Seattle should the Seahawks stumble. The Saints are in much better shape in that regard because the Niners (6-3) have to travel to the Big Easy, one hard place to play "You can definitely see offen- sively they are machine-like and really have things going and oiled up," 49ers coach Jim Har- baugh said. "Same defensively, they are doing a very good job of getting stops, getting turnovers and creating negative plays." After blowing out Dallas, the Saints (7-2) know the chore will be more difficult against the de- fending NFC champs, who have one of the league's most physical and versatile defenses. 'As good as they've ever been," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. "There's an expectation level every time you play those guys. They're extremely disci- plined and very talented." Also this week, the Game of the Year, Part I, has Denver hosting Kansas City Minnesota is at Seattle, Balti- more at Chicago, Cleveland at Cincinnati, Detroit at Pittsburgh, Washington at Philadelphia, Oak- land at Houston, the New York Jets at Buffalo, Green Bay at the New York Giants, Arizona at Jack- sonville, San Diego at Miami, and Atlanta at Tampa Bay Monday night has New Eng- land at Carolina. Off this week are Dallas (5-5) and St. Louis (4-6). In Thursday night's game, In- dianapolis once again dug itself an early hole before climbing out. Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck added another and the Colts ral- lied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 after trailing 14-0 in the first quarter Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50- yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts (7-3) bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St Louis. The Titans (4-6) lost their sec- ond straight and fifth in six games, scoring a touchdown with 1:54 left but failing to exe- cute on onside kick for the sec- ond straight game. Kansas City (9-0) at Denver (8-1) A game so enticing NBC got it flexed to prime time, this one matches teams with the best combined winning percentage this late in the season since the merger Denver, with Jack Del Rio as interim coach while John Fox recovers from heart surgery, is on a record scoring pace, aver- aging 41.2 points a game. But Peyton Manning, who has 3,249 yards passing, the most through nine games, and 33 touchdown passes, is plagued by a high ankle sprain. And the Chiefs are as stingy as they come on defense, the first team to allow 17 points or fewer in each of their first nine games since the 1977 Falcons. Associated Press San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid runs past cornerback Tarell Brown and Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd on Oct. 13 after intercepting a pass from quarterback Carson Palmer during the first quarter of an NFL football game in San Francisco. Reid has emerged as a play-making rookie with five takeaways, and sure hopes a concussion won't sideline him for Sunday's game at the Superdome. They already have 36 sacks and 23 takeaways. "We always have confidence in our defensive backfield, no matter who we play" cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "We feel we match up pretty good with them" Minnesota (2-7) at Seattle (9-1) The Seahawks feel the same way, and they have an intimi- dating defense, too. They rank third overall and second against the pass. Winning at Seattle has been impossible recently and the Sea- hawks go for their 13th straight home win, which would be a franchise record. Minnesota's best chance for an upset is turning Adrian Pe- terson loose. Last season, Peter- son rushed for 182 yards on just 17 carries against the Seahawks including runs of 74, 28 and 24 yards. New England (7-2) at Carolina (6-3), Monday night A surprisingly juicy Monday night matchup thanks to the Pan- thers' surge. They have won five in a row, including an impressive 10-9 victory at San Francisco last week. They lead the league in time of possession, a key against Tom Brady and the Patriots. New England comes off a bye and has not been dominant most of the time despite its gaudy record. In his last game, though, Brady had a season-best 432 yards passing and four TDs. Baltimore (4-5) at Chicago (54) An overtime win to break a three-game slide was encourag- ing for the Ravens, but they aren't performing anything like last season's champions. They can't get the run game in gear and Joe Flacco has been sacked 30 times. Banged-up Chicago might not have the horses to put that kind of pressure on Flacco, and it also is using second-string quar- terback Josh McCown for the in- jured Jay Cutler But McCown has played well this year, and he has weapons in WRs Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, and RB Matt Forte. Cleveland (4-5) at Cincinnati (6-4) A win makes Cleveland a con- tender for the AFC North crown and also for a wild card. The Browns can match their win total from 2012; they haven't won more than five games in a sea- son since 2007. Their defense has been staunch and veteran Jason Campbell is giving them steady quarterback play Cincinnati has lost two straight overtime games; no team has done it three succes- sive times. But the Bengals are 4-0 at home this season, outscor- ing opponents 116-55. Detroit (6-3) at Pittsburgh (3-6) Winning at Chicago boosted the Lions to sole possession of the NFC North lead. However, this is not a place they can be confident of success. Detroit's last victory in the Steel City came in 1955. The Steelers have gone 3-2 since an 0-4 start, though their 3- 6 record is the franchise's worst through nine games since 2006. They need to solidify an offen- sive line that has yielded 35 sacks. Washington (3-6) at Philadelphia (5-5) Now is the time for the Red- skins to make their run to the playoffs. At least, that's what they did last year, beating the Eagles as the first of seven con- secutive wins. Washington's run- ning game leads the league with 5.1 yards per rush. Philly is just behind that and LeSean McCoy leads the NFL with 932 yards on the ground. Even better, Nick Foles has thrown 16 TD passes and no in- terceptions. And the Eagles' de- fense has come on. Still, their last win at home was 11 games ago. Oakland (3-6) at Houston (2-7) Texans coach Gary Kubiak will be back on the sideline after missing one game with a mini- stroke. It's an uplifting story for a team in the midst of a horren- dous season. Considered a Super Bowl contender, Houston has dropped seven in a row The Raiders have a solid run- ning attack, but their air game is a mess as inexperienced QB Ter- relle Pryor learns the pro game. New York Jets (54) at Buffalo (3-7) The Jets are the second team to alternate wins and losses through nine games. Like Buf- falo, they are using a rookie QB, Geno Smith, but their pride and joy is an aggressive defense. Coach Rex Ryan campaigned to add safety Ed Reed when the long-time star was cut by Hous- ton and got his wish. The Bills have dropped nine of their last 11 meetings with New York and have lost five of their last six overall this season. Green Bay (54) at New York Giants (3-6) This group of New Yorkers was beaten in its first six games, then won three straight. Another victory could put the Giants in the midst of the NFC East race, believe it or not. Getting it will be whole lot eas- ier against a PacKers team mtat lost Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone. Green Bay has fallen twice without its star quarter- back, and might need to rely even more on a blossoming run- ning game with third-stringer Scott Tolzien behind center Arizona (5-4) at Jacksonville (1-8) Coming off their first victory of the season, the Jaguars have no reason to get cocky They haven't scored a TD at home in 2013, and have the league's worst overall offense. The Cardinals have the bad luck of being in the same divi- sion with powerful Seattle and San Francisco, but are holding their own. They've never won two games in Florida in the same season, and their only road victory so far has been at Tampa. WR Larry Fitzgerald needs 94 yards receiving to reach 11,000 yards, which would make him the youngest player (30 years, 78 days on Sunday) to reach that milestone. San Diego (4-5) at Miami (4-5) The mess in Miami keeps build- ing, and it has really plagued the offense. The Dolphins set a fran- chise low with 2 yards rushing in their loss at Tampa Bay They've netted 22 yards or less three times this year; the line strug- gled even when guard Richie In- cognito and tackle Jonathan Martin were in the lineup before the al- leged bullying turmoil erupted. The Chargers rank last in the NFL with six takeaways and are giving up 6.4 yards per play, worst in the league. But the Chargers lead the NFL in first downs per game, and in third- down efficiency at 47 percent.

Change is good He felt like he was pounding the proverbial square peg into a round hole, trying to get his team to learn a new formation. But after a sluggish 0-2 start in district play, Citrus Hurricanes coach Steve Ekeli changed things up - moving his team back from the 4-2-3-1 to the 4-4- 2 and repositioning sev- eral players. The results were imme- diate: the best scoring out- put of the season in a 6-0 blowout of Central at home. "I think they're more comfortable in this system. We're just playing straight- up man-to-man," Ekeli said of the changes. The biggest change was that of the team's confi- dence, with the win mov- ing them to 2-2 overall on the season and 1-2 in dis- trict play "If we can string to- gether three victories next week, who knows what we can do?" Ekeli said. Starting to click The Crystal River Pi- rates are in the second year of rebuilding, with a young team of mostly inex- perienced players. Coach Bobby Verlato is seeing signs the team which is 1-4 in district play is starting to turn the corner In their 5-1 loss Thurs- day against Weeki Wachee, Verlato said the Pirates started to come together defensively moved the ball better and showed they were adjusting from a 4-3-3 to the 4-4-2 formation they're running. "Knowing we're a work in progress, we're building on it," he said. "We're get- ting better each game." Freshman forward Caleb Russo scored his first varsity goal in the loss, and Verlato said the team's attitude is positive. To the east, the Lecanto Panthers are starting to find their stride as well. The team improved to 1-2 overall and 1-1 in the dis- trict with a 6-2 win Thurs- day against East Ridge. Coach Doug Warren cred- ited his team with execut- ing its game plan, adding, "We were getting balls in the box with people in there." Warren seems his team getting comfortable and working together Stats at a glance Goals: 3 Austin D'Anna Lecanto, Fr., mid- fielder/forward Assists: 4 Josh Mars- den, Citrus, Sr, forward Saves: 53 Kyle Kidd, Crystal River, Jr, goal keeper JAMES BLEVINS Chronicle correspondent Girls' soccer has kicked off in Citrus County over the past three weeks, and local teams begin what are anticipated to be success- ful regular-season cam- paigns but a few squads are struggling early on. Weekly recap The Citrus Hurricanes are currently winless through four games. Crys- tal River nabbed its first win on Nov 4 against dis- trict rival Hernando 4-1, but fell in three other dis- trict games to Fivay, Hud- son and Nature Coast Citrus opened the sea- son with two consecutive ties to Springstead and Nature Coast before drop- ping two straight games, to county rival Lecanto 3-0 on Nov. 4 and an 8-1 blowout to Vanguard on Nov 5. Lecanto has the best record in the county so far through six games. The Lady Panthers opened the season with a tie against Plant during the first day of the seventh annual Wharton Invita- tional in Tampa. Lecanto completed the tournament with two straight losses to Newsome and host Wharton. Returning to the area, Lecanto shutout Citrus at Hurricane Stadium before handling St Francis 6-1 on the road; the Panthers were robbed at home against Nature Coast 1-0 in the trailing minutes of the game to disrupt a Panther two-game winning streak. Lecanto took a 4-0 shel- lacking to former district rival Forest on Nov 12, dropping to 2-4-1 on the season. District breakdowns All four of Crystal River's opening games on the regular-season sched- ule have been district matchups, and the Lady Pirates find themselves 1-3 in District 3A-7. Citrus shares the same district as Crystal River The Lady 'Canes failed to earn wins on the road against district rival Springstead (1-1 tie) or Na- ture Coast (1-1 tie). The 'Canes met up with Fivay on the road on Nov 12 and fell 4-1, with new- comer Malene Pedersen scoring the only Hurri- cane goal off a Katlyn Marks assist. Springstead finds itself moved down from Class 4A-4, where it shared a dis- trict with Lecanto last year The Eagles were 4A- 4 district runners-up to the Lady Panthers last season and should be a tough team to defeat in 3A-7 for Citrus and Crystal River all year The Pirates played Springstead at home on Nov 12 and lost 7-1. Junior Christina Bres- son scored the lone Pirate goal, her third on the sea- son. Bresson is third in the county for most goals through the first three weeks. Lecanto sophomore Stephanie Bandstra leads the county with five goals, while teammate Lexi Moore is second with four goals. Injury report Lecanto junior defender Lauryn Cole has been sidelined through the first few weeks of the season due to a knee injury Her absence can be felt on the field, and Lecanto head coach Roselle Lat- tin is hopeful she will re- turn to play within the week. Cole is a dynamic back- field defender and two- time All-Chronicle team member She works best with teammates Ashlynne Van Cleef and Nany Ulloa, defending the Panther half of the field. Lecanto will also be down junior forward Jes- sica Allen, who re-aggra- vated a knee injury on Tuesday against Forest, and is done for the season. .... .......

The Masters champion and winner of last week's Australian PGA has a three-round total of 14-under 199 at Royal Melbourne. "I'm in a really good position for to- morrow," Scott said. "I put the ball in play and made a couple of putts for the first time this week." Vijay Singh shot a 63 and was in a four-way tie for second with Aus- tralians Matthew Griffin (69), Nick Cullen (69) and Nathan Holman (70). American Matt Kuchar was sixth after a 67, five strokes behind Scott. Singh, 50, is looking for his first tour- nament win since 2008. He will play in the final group with Scott, a rare Sunday occurrence for the Fijian veteran who has battled in- juries over the past several years. Jarrod Lyle, continuing his come- back from a 20-month layoff due to leukemia, shot 70 Saturday and was at even par.

COMMENTARY CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE A lesson for the hospital from my granddaughter We are born to trust We spend the rest of our lives un- learning that instinct. I traveled to Providence, R.I., last weekend to cele- brate the second birthday of Norah, our youngest grand- daughter While we had not seen her in many months, she immediately threw herself into our arms and trusted us to treat her well. We did. But somewhere along the way, we adults lose that trusting instinct. It gets beaten out of us by life. Some people learn to take advantage of others. Spouses cheat, business partners horde, and many conclude it's a dog-eat-dog world so you have to grab everything you can. The outcome is that self- ish people think their in- sights and needs are greater than others. They go searching for results where they come out as the winner and the person on the other side is the loser The current dispute at the hospital in Inverness is one that makes me wonder I know most of the folks on both sides of this dispute and can vouch that mem- bers of both groups believe they are doing the good and right thing in this fight to the death. The problem is they are using our money ($10 mil- lion in legal fees thus far) to do the death dance. The complication is that a few people in the dispute are searching for a win-lose resolution. The ironic thing is that almost all of those in- volved in the dispute except for the lawyers and admin- istration are volunteers. They are going through plenty of personal misery, public ridicule and spend- ing countless hours in meet- ings as volunteers. Missing from this conflict is just a single ounce of trust. Now I will admit that once lawyers get involved in things it's pretty difficult to find trust. Lawyers are MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle file Citrus County Commission Chairman Joe Meek listens to a line of citizens in July voicing their opinions about a proposed fire services fee at a public hearing in the Citrus County Auditorium in Inverness. Commissioners voted in favor of a new $54 fire MSBU, just one of a number of difficult decisions commissioners made this year to solve its budget crisis, according to Meek. As the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners for the past 12 months, I'd like to take this opportunity and talk about this past year, what we have done and where we are headed from a local government standpoint. I would also like to thank my fellow board members for the absolute honor and privilege of being chairman this year, and for the support I received from them. Most im- portantly, I want thank the citizens of Citrus County for your support and for all you do to make this such a wonder- ful community. Upon being selected as the chairman of the board last year, I devel- oped a chairman's plan, which was comprised of specific areas I wanted to focus on to improve our community If you have been fol- lowing the news this past year, you will know our community has faced some of the biggest issues and obstacles ever seen. Our local real estate market has been one of the hardest hit in the nation and our largest taxpayer is disputing the value our property appraiser says its facility is worth, which has resulted in the loss of millions of dollars of revenue to local government Our largest private employer has decided not to rebuild the nuclear power plant, mean- ing millions of dollars less in revenue and, more importantly, the loss of hundreds of high-wage jobs. In addition to those issues, we were al- ready facing a falling real estate market, a growing budget deficit, high unemployment, an undiversified economy a fire rescue system that was underfunded and inadequate and numerous other issues that had the potential to have a very large negative impact on our community While trying not to be melodramatic, our community and our local government faced issues that had the potential to bankrupt our county and put our community in a tailspin of epic proportions. It was time for us to take action and create a better environment for growth and stability IN YEAR THE CHAIR I My chairman's plan had five components: 1. Address and confront budget issues; ; 2. Continue to focus and enhance economic de- velopment initiatives for Citrus County and work to diversify our economy; 3. Work with the city of Inverness and Crystal . J River to develop partnerships to improve our c u county and city, and strengthen the relationship between the organizations; 4. Start the process of developing a comprehen- sive and detailed long-range plan; and Joe Meek 5. Focus on a specific environmental project within King's Bay GUEST Without a doubt, the biggest issue we faced this COLUMN year was our budget. Going into the year, we were looking at $6.5 million in deficits because of con- tinuing real estate valuation reductions. We had already reduced more than $47 million from our budget the past four years, reduced the size of local government by 25 percent and reduced our spending by the largest amount in the history of Citrus County As part of my chairman's plan, this year we conducted a detailed budget process starting in January that dissected each area of county government. As a result, we kept our costs low and ensured the services provided to citizens were maintained. This was a difficult process, and hard decisions were made by the Commission. A millage rate increase and a new fire rescue fee were necessary to keep our local government financially solvent, and still be able to provide needed services to our residents. While this was a very difficult decision, it was the respon- sible and right one. In one year, we managed to break our dependence from our largest taxpayer, diversify our revenue sources, and finally fix a structural budget deficit that we had been faced with for years. It should be noted that even with the millage rate increase and new fire fee, the av- erage homeowner is paying more than $150 less a year than what they paid three years ago. As a result of numerous actions taken by the county commission, our county is now financially solvent and strong and the budget deficit has been fixed.

Arthurs publisher emeritus CLOSER TO HOME Three Sisters as state park an idea worth investigating should the state of Florida take over the management of Three Sister Springs and run it as a state park? That is the interesting pro- posal offered last week by county commissioner Dennis Damato. Three Sisters Springs was purchased three years ago by a coalition of government agencies, private founda- tions, local governments, community groups and indi- vidual contribu- tors. The THE I gorgeous springs are tucked into The fu 57 acres ofunim- Three proved land right Spr smack in the middle of the city OUR 01 of Crystal River The property State was rescued from manage a developer who worth co planned a high- density development, and it officially became the prop- erty of the city of Crystal River. The city entered into an agreement with the fed- eral U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop and man- age the property Unfortunately, the well- publicized financial problem our federal government is ex- periencing has had a direct impact on Fish and Wildlife's ability to make progress at Three Sisters. Michael Lusk, the popular manager of the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, re- cently transferred to a new post in Georgia. Other staffing has been reduced and the wildlife service does not appear to be positioned to move forward on funding the project and opening it to the public. Damato believes the com- munity has waited too long for something to happen at Three Sisters. He ap- proached Sen. Charles Dean and Florida DEP Secretary Hershel Vinyard to see if there is an interest from the state in managing the prop- erty as a state park. Nothing but books It's not bad enough that schools have gone into the catering busi- ness; they are now get- ting into the medical 0 business, training peo- ple to administer epi- nephrine and storing the stuff. How about ad- ministering insulin to diabetics or inhalers to kids with respiratory problems or Midol to CA girls? Schools should be for learning and learn- 563- ing only. Thanks for sacrifices Yesterday (Nov. 2) the Lions Club in Homosassa hosted a din- ner and show honoring veterans. It's great to hear the community hasn't forgotten our veterans and their great sacrifice. S t SS ir P ng nm I ( State officials have told Damato they are interested enough to look into the possi- bilities. Florida already runs the state parks at Homosassa Springs and Weeki Wachee. Earlier this year the state of- ficially opened the old Silver Springs attraction in Ocala as a state park. Florida's parks system is one of the best in nation. Gov Rick Scott and Sen. Dean have both pledged to do all they can to 5U protect the SUE: state's endan- ure of gered springs. Sisters And Sen. Dean is igs. the chairman of an important 'INION: Florida Senate committee that park oversees state ement spending on isidering. springs. And have we mentioned that the state of Florida actually has a budget surplus for the first time in many years? Damato's concept is worthy of investigation. If the federal government's financial prob- lems have stymied Fish and Wildlife's ability to develop the project, the city of Crystal River has to look for other so- lutions. There are certainly compli- cations with the idea. The complex funding coalition that raised the money to pur- chase Three Sisters would have to agree with a change, and the state of Florida would have to agree to live up to the commitments made during the original purchase. Three Sisters Springs needs to be open for public access. If U.S. Fish and Wildlife believes it can still make the project work, the agency needs to come for- ward with the funding, per- sonnel and plans to make it happen. If the commitment is not there to develop and open Three Sisters, the city of Crystal River would be wise to look at other options.

There was no litter like the roads back North were. I was just amazed. What has hap- pened? Look at our roads now. What a shame. What an embar- rassment. Shame on Citrus County. Don't hug him just yet G ood-time Charlie Crist is back. He wants to be Florida's governor again, and polls show he would beat Rick Scott if the election were held today Big deal. Richie Incognito would beat Scott if the election were held today The polls don't mean much because Scott, although one of the most unpopular governors ever, is about to spend $100 million to get re-elected. Anybody who thinks Florida voters won't get fooled again has I been dipping into the bath salts. Despite a stum- bling first term, Scott's prospects for Carl F 2014 are much bet- O ter than they were in T 2010. VOI Back then he was a political newcomer with zero charisma, zero credentials for public office and a ton of money Today he's a sitting gov- ernor with zero charisma, zero credentials for public office and even more money During the last campaign, Scott spent about $75 million of his own dough, having made a fortune presiding over a health care conglomerate that perpe- trated one of the largest Medicare frauds since the be- ginning of Medicare. In a sane and sensible place, that's a resume that would kill a person's chances for high of- fice. But not in Florida, the eternal land of suckers. This time around, Scott will have the full backing of the Re- publican establishment, which basically shunned him in 2010, and a richer war chest for at- tacking Charlie Crist. And Charlie definitely has weak spots. He is relentlessly likeable, and oddly, that's part of the problem. Crist so avidly wants to be liked by every human soul that his core policy beliefs are difficult to define. This isn't an uncommon trait in politicians, but during con- tentious and divided times vot- ers yearn for candidates with a clear identity For better or worse, Scott has made his pri- orities well known the busi- ness community comes first, and everybody else is a distant second. Crist has been criticized for being too politically ambitious [iaasen IER CES - again, not a rare quirk among candi- dates. However, a case could be made that his impulsive ambitions changed the course of Florida, and not for the better The fact is he made Rick Scott possible. After one term as governor, Crist left Tallahassee to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010. Back then Florida's economy was gasping, as it was nation- wide, and Crist looked like he was walking away from a hard job at the worst time just to ele- vate his career His departure opened the door for Scott, who rolled to the governor's mansion on a tea party upswell and an advertis- ing blitz financed by his stag- gering personal bankroll. Meanwhile, Crist, who was slipping in the polls, decided to drop out of the GOP Senate pri- mary race and run as an inde- pendent against Marco Rubio. It was a cockeyed strategy that split the moderate vote, ensur- ing Crist's own defeat as well as that of the Democratic candi- date, Kendrick Meek. No one in Florida was sur- prised last year when Crist switched his party affiliation to Democrat, or when he an- nounced last week that he was running for governor again. Scott wasted no time launch- ing the first wave of attack ads against Crist portraying him as a flip-flopper, among other things. Soon will come the inevitable replays of Crist, the then- Republican governor, hugging President Barack Obama dur- ing an event promoting the con- troversial federal stimulus package. That brief embrace probably cost Crist the Senate race, and the moment was pure, impul- sive Charlie. He probably didn't think twice about hugging Obama because he's a serial hugger The man loves to be liked. Never mind that the stimulus bill ended up helping pull the economy out of its death spiral. The Republicans want every race to be about Obama, so they'll pound Crist again for standing on the same stage with the president. If the health care mess isn't fixed by next year, Crist might pay at the polls for his support of Obama. Or he might not Another GOP governor who openly consorted with the pres- ident just won a landslide re- election. Chris Christie, who praised Obama after Super- storm Sandy beat a Democratic challenger in the Democratic- leaning state of New Jersey His win is a reminder that voters look for different quali- ties in their governors, and they'll often cross party lines. That's how Jeb Bush won two terms in Florida, and that's how Crist got elected in 2006 by lots of Democrats voting for a Republican. That doesn't mean they'll vote for him next year just because he switched to their party Being likeable gets you only so far People want a governor who's tough, caring and steady We ended up with Scott because Charlie left the job.

LETTER /to the Editor Thanks for helping with special event The Tera's Legacy II Poker Run was held Saturday, Oct. 12. This was the second time the people of Citrus and sur- rounding counties came through in a most generous fashion to raise money for Herry's Kids and Hospice of Citrus County Herry's Kids Pediatric Services provides services to children with life threatening illnesses and of- fers grief support and thera- peutic camps to young people who have experienced a loss. Herry's Kids Pediatric Serv- ices is entirely dependent upon donations. Last year, the Citrus County Chronicle wrote two articles about Tera MacAllister (Sept. 19, 2012, and Oct. 2, 2012) and her long battle with cancer. Unfortunately, Tera left us in February 2013. In her mem- ory we came together to raise more than $1,100 for Hospice. It was a beautiful day for a ride, and we had more than 50 registered riders.

I CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Dr. Babb Adams was one of the great ones I just finished reading one of Nancy Kennedy's postscripts. Her subject was longtime pastor Dr Babb Adams, who passed away at the age of 84 on Oct. 30. I would never even try to add to one of Nancy's works. She does a mar- velous job of recognizing those who were so very special, the truly good ones, while they were with us, but I cannot let the passing of this man go without remembering how he personally touched my life. Dr Babb was never my family's pastor; we are not Baptists, we are members of the Church of God. But there was never a doubt that we were on the same team believers who knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are saved by the shed blood of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. He and I never got be- yond the acquaintance phase; our relationship was more of a smile-and- nod-of-the-head type. That is, except for a par- ticular moment during one of the most traumatic events of my life. While I was sitting at my desk in my office at the bank, the phone rang. I an- swered it and Cheryl spoke to me in a way which made me know things were not right, ness has lost too many of She addressed me as our young people on Fred.

I met my wife out- side the bank and we went immediately to the site. The vehicle had been crushed and the kids were still being extracted by EMS personnel. Once they were out, I rode in an am- bulance to the hospital with son Fred and Cheryl did the same with the young lady After initial medical ex- aminations, it was deter- mined that though they were both seriously banged up and the young lady's leg was broken, there was nothing that appeared to be life- threatening. Dr Adams was not our pastor, but he was the pas- tor of the girl and her fam- ily, and he arrived at the hospital soon after we did. As we were, he was overjoyed at the progno- sis, and upon hearing it he prayed a prayer of thanksgiving that I will al- ways consider one of the most profound expres- sions of a heart to God that I've ever heard. Among his words he said "... and Father, we thank you for giving us these children, twice." Dr Babb was not one of the good ones; he was one of the great ones.

We still have a low tax rate in comparison to other counties across the state and our average tax bill is still lower than the average tax bill throughout the state. Citrus County is still an affordable place to live with a great level of service for our residents. Enhancing our economy is a priority now, more than ever, with the closing of the nuclear power plant and the decline of the construction industry I felt we should be focusing on infrastructure projects that spur investment throughout our county and create an atmosphere that encourages economic diversifica- tion. Our Economic Development Coun- cil (EDC) has undertaken a major initiative to develop a comprehensive and detailed strategic plan to attract new businesses and industries. We continue to work with the EDC to remain proactive in creating a strong economic base in our community As a county commission, this past year, we have started several initia- tives that focus on infrastructure invest- ment and on retaining, growing and soliciting business investment in our county As my chairmanship began last year, there were several opportunities on the horizon to strengthen relationships with the city of Inverness and Crystal River. I am happy to say great strides have been made in working with Crystal River The county partnered with the city on the Cut- ler Spur Boulevard road improvement project, a boardwalk project at the Acad- emy of Environmental Sciences, and we are currently working with the city on multiple revitalization projects, includ- ing funding $225,000 for cleanup efforts in King's Bay There still is much improvement that needs to happen with regard to working with the city of Inverness, but we are making strides. We are working together to find ways to partner with Inverness on the many activities and recreation com- ponents in the city, and we will continue to strive to do better As we look to the future, Citrus County needs to take a more holistic approach in our comprehensive plan that includes tourism, economic development, land- use planning, development standards, transportation planning and branding of our county Along those lines, through our planning and development department, the Land Development Code was rewrit- ten and approved by the board this sum- mer The Tourism Development Council, the EDC, and the Chamber of Commerce are currently developing a new concept to be housed together to provide a greater range of services for visitors and citizens alike. Our assistant county administrator is just beginning the process to develop a strategic plan for our county that high- lights our assets, utilizes investments made and will guide our community for- ward in the future. The cleanup efforts in King's Bay were just getting under way last year, and I felt it was important for the county to support those efforts in every way possible. Al- though we have many environmental as- sets in our community, this project provides an opportunity for everyone - city county, state government, nonprofit organizations and individual citizens - to stand together and make a difference. We continue to work with the city of Crys- tal River and numerous nonprofit organ- izations to remove lyngbya from the bay and are moving forward to address this issue and make King's Bay a beautiful area to visit and play in. Starting the year, we faced huge chal- lenges that had the potential to severely hurt us as a county As a community, we not only faced our obstacles in the last year, but we have addressed them in a way that ensures the future success of our county and guides us forward for years to come. Citrus County is a wonderful commu- nity that works tirelessly to make our- selves better I am proud to be a part of it, and grateful for the opportunity to work for you. While there are still many issues to work on, over this last year, we have built a foundation on which to grow and improve our county The future is bright and now is the time to move forward. God bless. Joe Meek represents District 3 on the Citrus County Commission and is the outgoing commission chairman. IT'S BEEN SUSBFSTEED WE POSTPONE OUP LUNCH- WOULf APPANOEM ENT -MEET ME 4ERE FOR h OINAfP A Donations needed for new transport van The Disabled American Veterans Transportation Network, serving Cit- rus County, is requesting contributions from veterans and community organi- zations, as well as, from private citi- zens to reach our goal of $20,000 for a new transport van. While many county veterans are fa- miliar with the van program, we now go to the clinic in The Villages, as well as to Gainesville. This service is avail- able to all veterans each weekday for scheduled appointments, tests and procedures. We currently have a loaner van, (which has more than 270,000 miles on it), that we use to transport to the Villages, which is the reason for this fundraiser. The van for the Villages, also leaves from the Lecanto Community Base Outpatient Clinic, and will pick up vet- erans at points along the way Inverness, Hernando, Holder, and Dunnellon. Those interested in being transported for an appointment need only to contact the VA Service office at 352-527-5915 to make a reservation for a place on the van you must have a reservation. This program directly helps veterans who have served our country and who have made sacrifices for all of us. Many times we give donations to organizations and never know where our monies are being spent. Your contribution for this new van will be a visible evidence of what a community can do to help its veterans. We appreciate any donation you can make each dollar puts us closer to our goal. We are not accepting cash do- nations but request that any contribu- tions be made by check or money order, made out to: DAV Van Project with DAVvan project also written in the memo section of the check or money order Mail your tax deductible contribu- tion to: DAV Van Project, c/o Joe Stephens, Chairman, 2797 W Xenox Drive, Citrus Springs, FL 34433 OR you may mail it to the DAV Chapter 70: DAV Van Project/Treasurer, Gerald A.

The two government bodies are no longer going in the same direction and the result is going to make life more expensive for all resi- dents of the city and county. A number of years ago the Letters to THE EDITOR Thank you for your assistance. Joe Stephens Chairman, DAV Van Project Waiting on an apology Imagine, if you will, Rebecca Bays standing at an intersection, waiting to cross the street, when a speeding car driven by Richard Wesch drives through a red light, crashing into a second ve- hicle driven by Michael Bays. Bays sur- vives, being only slightly injured. Law enforcement officer ScottAdams arrives on the scene and arrests Rebecca Bays for reckless driving. She was, after all, related to the second driver When the chief prosecutor refuses to pursue the absurd charges, Adams insists his actions in arresting Bays were appropriate. Folks, this is precisely the logic your elected Commissioner Adams engaged in when he pursued an unfounded ethics complaint against Commissioner Bays. While I don't know if County Attorney Wesch drove through a red light when he sanctioned the appointment of Michael Bays to the enterprise zone development board, clearly Commis- sioner Adams was way out of line. The solution? He owes us two things: an apology and a check to the county to reimburse us taxpayers for Commis- sioner Bays' expenses. For the record, I'm not holding my breath. Elwood R. Harding Jr. Beverly Hills What's the rest of the story? The headline in the Chronicle today "Thorpe to Adams: Stop harassment" prompts some observations and ques- tions. First, since when is it harass- ment for a setting commissioner to ask questions about how government is run? I was under the impression that is what we elect them to do. Personally, during my police chief and manager days I encouraged the council mem- bers to ask questions. I invited one council member who frequently called me names and challenged my compe- tency to sit in on our Monday morning staff meetings. I was fully aware he dispute began when a group of county commissioners launched a campaign to move the county seat out of Inverness and put it in Lecanto. Even though that entire group of commission- ers was later thrown out of of- fice by the voters, the hard feelings still prevail. The lack of trust is so deep that when the chairman of the county commission recently sent individual letters to members of the city council seeking a sit-down meeting with each to discuss prob- lems, the council members could be a distraction and he never hid his light under the bushel well. If he had a thought in his mind, you heard it I would venture to say I had some of the most challenging councils in the history of Citrus County I guess the difference between me and Thorpe is I recognized that each one was my boss and they had every right and expecta- tion to challenge and question. Some administrators believe that as long as they have at least three board members in their corner they can do what they want to those that don't see things their way My interpretation of the job was that every elected board member was representing the citizens and I had an obligation to each and every one of them. It is not easy and it takes a very thick skin but it is the professional thing to do. I do believe that the administrator/ manager has a responsibility to oversee conversation between elected officials and staff Frequently staff may not have the whole picture on something and could give incorrect information. I would encourage Commissioner Adams to re- frain from talking to individual depart- ment heads and go through the administrator As to Thorpe's feelings that accusations and questions are in- sulting, I can only say "get over it" There have been countless situations in county government over the past several years where as a manager I would be very uncomfortable. There has been questionable legal advice, actions that some may feel violate the Sunshine Law if not by strict definition than at least intent, a budget and taxation situation which was avoidable even with the Duke tax problem as well as other challeng- ing issues to numerous to go into. I am perplexed by Mr Thorpe's change of heart recently Mr Thorpe announced his retirement a few months ago than changed his decision and remained on the job. Why? This is the first time I have heard of an ad- ministrator accusing a setting commis- sioner of creating a hostile work environment. One can only wonder what the rest of the story is. Roger B. Krieger Beverly Hills each rejected the request. Without a little bit of trust, it's pretty darn difficult to find resolution to problems. On the national level we can see the "no-trust" strat- egy at work: Our politicians all spend their energy on identifying evil people on the other side of the debate be- cause it's easier to rally the troops when you have a com- mon enemy The only problem is that once trust evaporates, find- ing common solutions to complex problems is almost impossible. Even though I might look old and funny, granddaughter Norah and I did not have that problem. She trusted me to push her on the swing and to catch her when she jumped off the playground equipment I did my part It worked for both of us. Trust is an amazing thing. More people should give it a try Gerry Mulligan is the publisher of the Chronicle. Email him atgmulligan @chronicleonline. com. COMMENTARY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 C3 C4 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 Obamacare report card Using the classical defini- tion of law, "an ordinance of reason for the common good, promulgated by him who has the care of the community," let's see how Obamacare stacks up. It's definitely an ordinance or mandate; but the trouble be- gins immediately with reason- able. The president told us his law would help the uninsured, "the tens of thousands who die every day because they don't have access to affordable health care." However, even after implementation, it is esti- mated 30 million will remain uninsured. Proposals like tort reform, high-risk pools, health savings accounts, cross state line purchase and tax breaks were rejected without expla- nation. In January many will see marginal tax rates over 50 percent. The full work week of 40 hours was arbitrarily changed to 30 hours. A huge army of 29- hour workers was created as employers scrambled to avoid a huge financial expense. Today 80 percent of jobs created are part time, further worsening already declining middle-income wages. Signing up for insur- ance is problematic. Until the recent reversal, stipends were to be provided without any proof of income. We'll use the honor system and there will be no cheating. And the IRS, that bastion of trust, openness and fair play will supervise sign-up compliance and faithfully safe- guard our confidential finan- cial and medical information. Are burdens distributed fairly? Is the law being applied exactly as written and right on schedule? By unilateral presi- dential decree there are over COMMENTARY Letters to THE EDITOR 2,000 waivers in place now and the employer mandate, but not the employee mandate, has been postponed. Members of the Administration, Congress and their staffs are not subject to the law; they are special. Those with deeply held religious beliefs must pay for abortion coverage and abortion-inducing drugs. Those who don't need maternity coverage must pay for it anyway "For the common good" means unions and other friends of the president don't get exemptions. The law wasn't published (promulgated) rather "we have to pass it to find out what's in it" Every Democrat in Congress, with every Republican object- ing, passed Obamacare under reconciliation, a legislative process used only for budget measures; that way debate was severely limited. Remember the bribery in the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Pur- chase and others. Senators sold their votes and passage was as- sured; their constituents, mil- lions of them, received benefits the rest of us didn't. Keep your doctor? No. Keep your plan? No. Save $2,500 per year? No. Watch premiums for a family of four increase to $8,000? Yes, indeed. Do you think doubling the copay and deductible while tripling the premium is reasonable? Let's gouge young people, 20 per- cent of whom are unemployed, to pay for older people and hope they ignore their own fi- nancial self-interest and "take one for the team." Otherwise the law becomes a "train wreck." A good, reasonable law is a means to a desirable end but it shouldn't restrict our liberty Chances are good the law will collapse but it should never have passed in the first place. We could have been spared all this turmoil. Joseph P Ryan Homosassa Proud Republican I respond in kind to George Harbin's letter of Oct. 22. I'm a Republican and proud of it. Why? It's because I am con- vinced that to flourish, democ- racy requires an economy driven by a free market. Mr Harbin prefers that the gov- ernment run it. And it's because I am con- CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE vinced that governments should care for those who cannot care for themselves and offer the opportunity to succeed to those who can. Mr Harbin wants gov- ernment to care for everyone "regardless of condition." On one thing Mr Harbin and can I agree: "We urgently need a balance of our political ideology." We urgently need a liberal party that doesn't believe our nation is a heartless, imperialist, racist, war-mongering failure. And a liberal media that doesn't distort, edit or expur- gate conservative opinions or omit the president's gaffs. And a president who doesn't use nationally televised speeches to tell American vot- ers to stop listening to conser- vative talk radio. President Obama is depend- ing on liberals to so slander the Republican Party that Democ- rats will sweep the field in 2014 and endow him a Democrat majority in both the House and Senate for his final two years. The last time he got a two- year free ride, we got Oba- macare. God only knows what else this man has up his sleeve but it's a sure bet we conserva- tives won't like it. To make this nightmare go away, conservatives need to start getting involved in the 2014 elections. The best way to do this is to start sitting in on the Citrus County Republican Executive Committee meet- ings: 7 to (exactly) 8 p.m. the first Monday of every month at the Citrus County Board of Re- altors on State Road 44. It is self-interest that drives capitalism and democracy... and the outcome of elections.

They're setting up shop in modem spaces and competing for top Silicon Valley talent to replicate the creativity, culture and nimbleness of online startups. SAN FRANCISCO Software engi- neers wearing jeans and flip flops test the latest smartphone apps. Walls and windows double as whiteboards where ideas are jotted down. And a mini basketball net is in the center of it all. At first glance, this workplace re- sembles any Silicon Valley startup. There's just one exception: Target's trademark red bulls-eye at the en- trance. Target, Kohl's and home-shopping network QVC are among a half dozen retailers opening technology test labs in the San Francisco area to do things like improve their websites and create mobile shopping apps. They're setting up shop in modern spaces and com- peting for top Silicon Valley talent to replicate the creativity, culture and nimbleness of online startups. The goal is to stay on top oftech trends and better compete with online rivals like Amazon. corn that attract shoppers with convenient ordering and cheap prices. The labs are a shift for retailers, which like many older industries, have been slow to adapt to rapidly changing technology. But re- tailers say the labs are essential to sat- isfy shoppers who more often are buying on their PCs, tablets and smartphones. "Consumers expect immediate grat- ification," says Lori Schafer, executive adviser at SAS Institute, which cre- ates software for retailers. As a result, she says retailers need to develop technology in weeks, instead of months or years. Retailers are playing catch-up after several years of watching shoppers gradually move from physical stores to the Web. Online sales have grown according to Forrester Research. The explosion of people using smartphones to shop has pushed stores to move faster U.S. consumers are now spending more than half of their time on retailers' websites using their smartphones and tablets, accord- ing to the National Retail Federation, a retail trade group. Retailers knew they needed to fig- ure out how to create online and mo- bile technology to please their shoppers. So they began looking to Sil- icon Valley, where they hoped to tap the talent, culture and creativity that come from tech giants like Facebook and Apple. Wal-Mart, the world's largest re- tailer, was the first to open a tech lab in Silicon Valley Since opening Wal- MartLabs in San Bruno in 2011, the company has rolled out a number of technologies that it developed there. One of the biggest projects? Wal- Mart rebuilt its website's search en- gine, which launched in 2012. It can guess a customer's intent when he or she types a term rather than just re- turning specific search results. A search for "denim" yields results for "jeans" instead of products with "denim," for example. Wal-Mart's mobile app also has been a big focus at Wal-MartLabs, which has 1,200 workers and all the trappings of a Silicon Valley startup including treadmill desks and ping pong tables. For instance, Wal-Mart- Labs developed technology that en- ables Wal-Mart's mobile app to help guide shoppers to products. It also developed technology that enables the mobile app to track customers' See Page D4 Post office reports loss of $5 billion for year SAM HANANEL Associated Press WASHINGTON The U.S. Postal Service said Friday it lost $5 billion over the past year, and postal officials again urged Congress to pass legisla- tion to help the beleaguered agency solve its financial woes. In a positive sign, the loss was a frac- tion of the record $15.9 billion the Postal Service reported losing last year But it was still the agency's sev- enth straight annual loss and came de- spite its first growth in revenue since 2008. Operating revenue rose 1.2 percent to $66 billion, thanks to growth in the post office's package delivery business and higher volume in standard mail. That was not enough to offset long- term losses in first class mail the post office's most profitable service - where revenues declined by 2.4 percent. "We've achieved some excellent re- sults for the year in terms of innova- tions, revenue gains and cost reductions, but without major legisla- tive changes, we cannot overcome the limitations of our inflexible business model," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said. The Postal Service has struggled for years with declining mail volume, but the lion's share of its financial plight stems from a 2006 congressional re- quirement that it make annual $5.6 bil- lion payments to cover expected health care costs for future retirees. It has defaulted on three of those payments. Postal officials have been pressing Congress to let the agency end See Page D4 THE WEEK AHEAD * MONDAY WASHINGTON National As- sociation of Home Builders re- leases housing market index for November, 10 a.m. * TUESDAY WASHINGTON Labor Depart- ment releases the third-quarter employment cost index, 8:30 a.m. * THURSDAY WASHINGTON Labor Depart- ment releases weekly jobless claims, 8:30 a.m.; Labor Depart- ment releases the Producer Price Index for October, 8:30 a.m.; Fred- die Mac, the mortgage company, re- leases weekly mortgage rates, 10 a.m.; Conference Board releases leading indicators for October, 10 a.m. BUSINESS BRIEFS Oil rises as Yellen defends stimulus LONDON The price of oil rose toward $94 a barrel Friday after incoming Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen indicated that economic stimulus will remain in place pending further improve- ment in the U.S. economy Benchmark U.S. crude for Decem- ber delivery was up 6 cents to $93.82 a barrel, late morning European time, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Rich, via email DEAR RICH: Thank you for your question. It's an interesting one. I don't think it's particularly complex. First, you say your financial guy recommends an annuity There are some decent annuity products out there. But I would not be comfort- able tying up my money in most an- nuities, which have a period, measured in years, during which the penalties are severe if you take the money out. Can you leave the money where it is? How is it doing? If it's doing well, why not leave it in the 401(k)? If you must withdraw, that's an- other program. You apparently have a decent amount of investment savvy in order to accomplish all that you have outlined. That being ob- served, at 68 years old, I wouldn't want all the money in the market- place, but I would certainly want a substantial portion invested in good, solid American companies.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 Promotional information provided by the Citrus Chamber of Commerce. CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Tax exemptions for nonprofit organizations A 11 nonprofit organizations are po- Stentially eligible for tax exemp- .Lkions. The IRS can approve an exemption from federal income tax and states can permit an exemption from statesales tax. In both cases certain cri- terion must be met and the application process is long and complicated. A ca- sual or uninformed attempt with re- spect to the application effort can easily end in rejection by both agencies. IRS Grants Income Tax Exemptions IRS granting an income tax exemp- tion is easier said than done. The appli- cation process is complicated andtakes a long time.The IRS back log for this ap- proval is huge and the number of agents is limited. There are reports IRS, in some cases, cannot even assign an agent to review an application for 6 months after receipt of the exemption request. Therefore, full approval may easily ex- tend to a year or more. About all the service can do quickly is send a letter which acknowledgesreceipt of your re- quest inside of one month.After that, the scrutiny and waiting begins. Filing Specifics The formal application for a federal I N income tax exemption is 2i length. The first page is thE asks if the organization is i does it have an EIN, an org ment andby laws, etc. Pages 2 thru 12 begin thE tions covering myriad ofs formation.

Organizational leaderscannot treat the organization as a for profit shareholder owned com- to filing this pany This means financial benefits can- t will discover not inure to the officers or directors from the coffers of the nonprofit. Compensation and financial arrange- ments with officers, directors, consult- ants, agents and employees, if present, is required. If the organization has a fund raiser thearrangement with respect to compensation must be revealed. Any abuse or the perception of inap- propriate activities with respect to non profit operations will cause IRS to deny the exemption request. The last pages of the application con- tain the non profit version of a budget, income statement and balance sheet. Numbers found in these documents may require substantiation and provide the appearance of reasonableness. The Best Advice The best advice a group of organizers to a new nonprofit is to get experienced professional guidance. Allow your non profit the success it deserves from day one. Dr. Frederick J Herzog, PhD LLCis the Executive Director and Founder of the NonProfit Resource Center in Cit- rus County He can be reached via email: fherzog@tampabay.rrcom BUSINESS DIGEST Insurance agency to offer AARP auto insurance program After meeting several social responsibility and busi- ness requirements, Sheldon-Palmes Insurance is now authorized to offer the popular insurance program in Citrus County The Hartford announced it is making its award-win- ning AARP-branded auto insurance program available through Sheldon-Palmes Insurance. Sheldon-Palmes Insurance was chosen after satisfy- ing a number of eligibility requirements, which in- cluded: demonstrating a commitment to community service; meeting a high level of business and ethical standards; and completing a training program de- signed to address the needs of the 50-plus population. "For more than 25 years, the industry-leading AARP-branded auto insurance program from The Hartford has been extremely popular," said Jim Flynn, vice president, The Hartford. Much of the success of this program is due to inno- vative product features and a commitment to truly un- derstand and support our customers. We are thrilled to now be able to offer these benefits through our in- dependent agent partners." According to research from The Hartford, the ma- jority of AARP members prefer the advice and coun- sel of a local agent when making decisions about their insurance. Based on this research and strong cus- tomer demand, The Hartford is offering the AARP branded auto insurance program through select au- thorized independent agents. These products were previously only available from The Hartford by phone, the Internet and by mail. The AARP-branded auto insurance program is de- signed in consultation with The Hartford Advance 50 Team, which helps to tailor products and services specifically to the interests and needs of Boomers and older adults. Other unique hallmarks of the program include: Lifetime Continuation Agreement- assures that the customer's insurance policy will not be dropped as long as a few simple requirements are met. RecoverCare helps customers pay for assistance with daily errands and responsibilities, like cooking, cleaning, shopping, dog walking, transportation and yard work if they are injured in an auto accident. Standard 12-month rate protection versus the tradi- tional six month policies offered by most companies.

BUSINESS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2013 D3 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE POST Continued from Page Dl Saturday mail delivery and reduce the payments for retiree health benefits. But prospects for a legislative fix are increasingly unlikely this year "The lack of action is simply unfair to customers and employees and all the stakeholders that depend on a healthy postal service," Donahoe said. The Postal Service also has asked for an emergency rate hike in the cost of a first-class stamp from 46 to 49 cents. That request must be approved by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. Donahoe said the postal service saved $1 billion over the past year by consolidating 143 mail processing cen- ters, eliminating 1,400 delivery routes and modifying retail hours in more than 7,000 post offices. It has also re- duced its career workforce by 37,400 through attrition. Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, VALLEY Continued from Page Dl spending based on a predetermined budget. Wal-Mart, which is based in Ben- tonville, Ark., says having a presence in Silicon Valley has been invaluable in part because it offers the company early access to technology entrepre- neurs. For example, two years ago, Wal- MartLabs met the founders of a startup called Grabble as they were in Silicon Valley pitching their technology that enables customers to get receipts for their purchases by email. Wal-Mart has since bought the startup, hired the founders, and next year, shoppers will be able to get the so-called e-receipts. The company says it's so pleased with its results at Wal-MartLabs that it plans to open another tech office in one of the Postal Service's largest unions, suggested the agency would have had an operating profit of $600 million if it did not have to pay the congressionally mandated $5.6 billion charge for pre-funding future retiree health benefits. Rolando urged law- makers to reject any bills "that focus on slashing service and attacking postal employees and instead focus on fixing the pre-funding fiasco." Earlier this week, the agency an- nounced a lucrative deal with retail giant Amazon to begin package deliv- ery on Sunday While growing Internet use has shrunk the volume of first class mail dramatically the rise of on- line shopping has been a boon to the postal service's package delivery business. Revenue from package services rose by $923 million, or 8 percent last year and shipping and package services now represent 16 percent of the agency's revenues. The Postal Service is an independent agency that does not depend on tax money for its operations but is subject to congressional control. nearby Sunnyvale in January It also has smaller tech hubs elsewhere. "We are not a retailer in Silicon Valley," says Neil Ashe, CEO of Wal-Mart's global e-commerce operations. "We are building an Internet technology com- pany inside the largest retailer" Teen retailer American Eagle opened its tech center in San Francisco in July The 10,000-square-foot location is filled with movable desks to encour- age spontaneous brainstorming ses- sions among its 20 workers. The goal: to get to know more about American Eagle's customers. Among its projects is an effort to con- solidate the personal data of American Eagle customers, including their shop- ping history, from the company's email campaigns and loyalty programs. The retailer wants to gain informa- tion that would help it better target its marketing around a customer's buying habits. Remember to dress for success when job hunting he buzz was palpable at the an- nual Fall Job Fair earlier this month. A record 200 -job seek- ers attended, as well as hiring man- agers from 18 local businesses with scores of jobs to fill a quick count shows 60 separate positions, many requiring multiple employees, plus several employers had "other various" positions. Here's something else that bodes well: most of the jobs are full- or part-time permanent. "This is the first time in a long time we've seen hiring in a season that's not for seasonal help," Bobbie Jo Fenske, HR manager for Lowe's in Inverness, said. Music to our ears. Something that was great to see, lit- erally, were all the job-seekers who showed up dressed to impress. Kudos to Lenny and Scott and Chris and all those who understand the job-fair mantra: there are no second chances to make a good first impression. In fact a simple rule of thumb is to dress as if you were going to a job in- terview- after all, that is basically what takes place at a job fair, hun- dreds of micro interviews; the differ- ence is, you'll only have a matter of seconds to convince the employer to spend more time with you. It doesn't matter how impressive your resume is if all the employer can see is inappropriate attire. That's one very real reason we require that those who attend our job fairs dress profes- sionally Also, anything less is disre- spectful and signals you aren't a serious job candidate. Remember, what you do on the job is not necessarily how you'll dress when interviewing for it. So no, bib overhauls don't qualify as "professional attire." Laura Byrnies WORKFORCE CONNECTION Jonathan Delicate, our genial mobile customer service coordinator, offered the best example of what it means to be indifferent about your role as a serious job candidate. He told me about a recent referral he'd made only to hear back from the employer who asked, "What did you send me?" Jonathan said he thought he'd sent her a well-qualified candidate with the exact skills and experience needed. That may be, he was told, but the job candidate showed up 30 minutes late, unshaven and wearing what appeared to be scrubs. And then the candidate was sur- prised when he didn't get the job. Don't let that happen to you. On our website, we offer Job Fair and Inter- view Preparation Tips, including how to dress to impress without spending a dime. You'll also find plenty of one-on- one help from our placement special- ists at our One-Stop Career Center in Inverness.

MONEY Continued from Page Dl Walmarts of the world are companies that have been around for a while and will continue to be around. Sure, you will go through hiccups when the value goes down, but you will also experience sub- stantial increases. These companies also pay de- cent dividends. I would have no problem invest- ing a good portion of the $164,000 in companies with similar track records. If you want absolute se- curity, you can have it, but at a terrific cost Unless you are prepared to take a certain degree of risk, in today's world, you will be condemned to receiving very little return. DEAR BRUCE: I have relatives with special health care needs due to congenital defects and mental health issues who receive Social Security What is the best way to leave them some money without affecting their ability to receive their So- cial Security income? I greatly appreciate any help you can provide to assist me in doing this the correct way I have been sending them extra money for years and worry about them after I am gone. Reader, via email DEAR READER: The cold, hard facts are there is no direct manner that I know of in which you can leave a substantial amount of money to a per- son with this kind of prob- lem and not affect the Social Security income. That having been said, if you can leave the money to some third party who you trust completely, per- haps they could dole the money out. There are a lot of folks who would say you would be avoiding the law, and that may be the case. I will leave that up to the individuals involved to determine how they want it handled. It may very well be that the amounts of money you have been giving are beneath the ac- cepted limits, which have been increasing every year But that would not preclude an inheritance from affecting their bene- fits. As I understand the law, if you give money directly to your relatives, your ac- tion will very likely come to the attention of the au- thorities and could re- duce their Social Security income. Whether or not you are comfortable work- ing through a third party is another matter I am not necessarily comfortable with my an- swer, but I am addressing the question as asked. I will leave the morality to you. DEAR BRUCE: I have two siblings who are much older I've lived with my mother all my life, and when her illness started about 10 years ago, I was the one who took care of her My sib- lings never helped. During the time I was taking care of my mother, I had the house trans- ferred under Medicare's Child Caretaker Exemp- tion Rule. My siblings were in agreement with the transfer When my mother died a few years ago, we went to the lawyer and learned we didn't need to probate the will. The house was already in my name, and the only other thing my mother had was a bank account, which had my name on it. We filed only for inheritance tax. I split up the money from the bank account, which I had no obligation to do. Later, my siblings wanted to take out a mort- gage on the house so that I could split the money with them. My lawyer says I have no legal obligation to do so. I had my will and other documents rewritten ear- lier this year I have de- cided to have my estate given to various charities. I was wondering what your thoughts are. Caregiver, via email DEAR CAREGIVER: My goodness! You have certainly been generous with your siblings, who made no contribution to your mother's happiness and care during her long illness. The fact that the house was transferred to your name is not a problem. It's yours and that's the end of the story You split the money that was in the bank account, which you had no obligation to do. They then wanted you to take a mortgage on the house so you could split the money with them. You would have to be ready for the funny farm to do so. These people did nothing and now they want you to share the pro- ceeds of what your mother left behind. I think you are wise to give your estate to charity, and I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty There can be little love between you and your siblings, and they have demonstrated their inconsideration and selfishness. I think you have been overly gener- ous to this point and I wouldn't give them an- other nickel. DEAR BRUCE: Is it a good idea to convert my Saving Bonds from paper to the TreasuryDirect plan? R.K., via email DEAR RK: If I under- stand your question cor- rectly, you are asking whether or not it's a good notion to turn the actual Savings Bond instru- ments, which are proba- bly on the ancient side, back to the Treasury so everything is on the com- puter Absolutely! This way you won't have to worry about misplacing, storing or losing them, and anytime you need in- formation, it will be read- ily available. Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams. co m.

"Baigneuse" means bather in French, indicating the title of the figure. I think it was produced in France between World War I and II. I will assume there are no other marks on the statue. Potential dollar value is in the $500 range. Dear John: I am a fan of your newspaper column. I am hoping you might be able to give me names of individuals in our area who could do an appraisal on a large collection of Rolling Stones memorabilia. My niece has inherited this, and her parents always told her they would not sell it as long as the original Rolling Stones group was intact Now that both her parents are deceased, the house is my niece's to deal with and the collection literally fills a bedroom. Her attorney has ad- vised that she get the collection appraised now, before storing for potential sale in the future for tax purposes. I am trying to assist her with this and hope you might have suggestions. -K.S., Internet See ATTIC/Page E6 This vase is an example of art glass.

Special to the Chronicle CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE JANE Continued from Page E4 Evergreen clumps of blue spiderwort, Trades- cantia virginiana, are still showing some tri-petaled flowers in the mornings. Locally spiderwort flowers from March to November - one of the longest wild- flower flowering seasons. Clusters of dry, dark seed- heads pulled off easily and were cast on the ground in patches alternated with the patches of other wildflower seeds. Birds may eat some, but the rest will remain dormant then sprout next spring. Perennial native greeneyes, Berlandia suba- caulis, also had a few pretty flowers above basal clumps of evergreen leaves. The leaves somewhat resemble those of dandelion, but in a soft-sage shade of green. Seeds still attached were soon gathered and scattered in places I wanted them to grow The inch-wide flowers bloom butter-yellow in all months, but more abun- dantly from spring through to fall. Those seeds that have sprouted in the lawn can dug up and the carrot- like taproot transplanted in designated flower beds as a border plant Gayfeather, or blazing star, Liatris, a native but deciduous perennial in Central Florida, had flow- ered well while I was away, evidenced by the spikes of fluffy seeds covering the tall flower spikes.

Each corm is used up growing a new plant - roots, leaves and one flow- ering stem each season.

Late mortgage payments down in Q3 Associated Press LOS ANGELES Fewer U.S. homeowners are falling behind on their mortgage pay- ments, aided by rising home values, low interest rates and stable job gains. The trend brought down the national late-payment rate on home loans in the third quarter to a five-year low, credit re- porting agency TransUnion said Tuesday The percentage of mortgage holders at least two months be- hind on their payments fell in the July-September quarter to 4.09 percent from a revised 5.33 percent a year earlier, accord- ing to the firm, whose data go back to 1992. The latest rate also declined from 4.32 percent in the second quarter The last time the mortgage delinquency rate was lower was the third quarter of 2008. Within a few years of setting that mark, foreclosures began to mount as home values tum- bled from housing-boom highs, leaving many homeowners in negative equity owing more on their mortgage than the value of their home. The dy- namic drove mortgage delin- quencies higher, peaking at nearly 7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009. The rate of late payments on home loans has been steadily declining over the past five quarters. At the same time, U.S. home sales and prices have been rebounding over the past two years, while foreclo- sures have been declining. Moderate but stable job gains, still-low mortgage inter- est rates, and tight supply of homes for sale have helped fuel the housing rebound. That's also made it easier for home- owners to refinance, catch up on payments or sell their home, avoiding foreclosure. Even so, the mortgage delin- quency rate is still above the 1 to 2 percent average historical range. That suggests that many homeowners still are strug- gling to make their payments. It also reflects that many home loans made during the housing boom remain unpaid but have yet to work their way through the foreclosure process. Loans made in the years after the housing boom are generally being paid on time, so as more of the older loans listed on banks' books as un- paid get resolved, the overall mortgage delinquency rate should continue to decline, said Tim Martin, group vice president of U.S Housing for TransUnion's financial serv- ices business unit.

That haze is actually hundreds if not thousands of golden berries clus- tered tightly along the thin stems. This shrub asked nothing more from me than planting and care in the form of water and mulch for only its first year in the ground. Although not considered so years ago when I planted it, the shrub - known as autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is now considered dangerous, an invasive species. It was brought over from Asia in the 1830s, and found the soils and cli- mates here much to its liking. With the help of birds, which gobble down the fruits and subsequently eject the seeds, autumn olive has spread far and wide. There are dozens of wild autumn olives within a short bicycle ride of my garden. Beyond its fecundity, adaptability and that golden haze, autumn olive offers more pluses. The berries are preceded, in spring, by flowers that exude a sweet perfume. The wavy leaves are flecked with silver and are practically white on their un- dersides, so the whole plant is trans- formed into a shimmering globe in summer breezes. And the adaptabil- ity that makes this shrub weedy also . means it can be used to re-clothe . ground trashed by construction proj- " ects or mine spoils.

Interior designers say fami- lies are finding more inventive uses for their homes' extra little rooms optimistically called "bonus rooms" by real estate agents. With the spread of wireless Inter- net and portables devices such as tablets, it's common now to send spreadsheets and emails from any room in the house, not to mention the nearest coffee shop. In fact, among major home-renovation projects, home-office improve- ments provide the puniest return on the investment when a home is resold, according to Remodeling magazine's 2013 "cost vs. value" report. So instead of that dust-collecting desk, many families are seeking creative ways to customize these al- coves as game rooms, dressing rooms, small theaters and more. "I get this question a lot," says Elizabeth Cb Marsh, an associate interior designer at Jenkins Baer Associates in Baltimore. "Espe- cially in large, new-construction homes, there are these bonus rooms that are just there."

Find a small (7-foot) pool table to place in the center of the room. If there's a wood counter, retrofit the top with a waterproof material such as stone for an elegant wet bar, and if you have the budget, install plumb- ing for a small sink. Add barstools, a high-top cocktail table and a pen- dant lamp over the pool table. A smaller office can have a sec- ond life as a luxe dressing room, ac- cording to Marsh.

Keep the decor minimalist, she advises, with a neutral paint color, a pair of sconces, and a tufted ottoman in the center of the room. Add a floor mirror and a vanity, and accessorize with vintage hatboxes, a dress form or an antique trunk. If the room has windows, be sure to hang light-filtering curtains to pro- tect your clothing. Families with children have even more options for converting an of- fice space. These days, it is common to transform a dull study into a kids' homework hub, says Pam Ginocchio, co-founder of the children's design blog Project Nursery To begin, she recommends giving each kid a workspace: a small metal desk in a fun color with a clip-on lamp and a comfy swivel chair Cre- ate a comfortable reading nook on the floor with beanbags. Then mount floating shelves from floor to ceiling and display books with the covers facing out to entice young readers.

If contemplative is not your family's speed, Fluhr suggests using the bonus room as an off-off-off-Broadway the- ater For a kid who likes to perform skits, play songs and choreograph dances, build a basic plywood stage in the corner of the room. Above that riser, hang a rounded shower-curtain rod and a pair of dark, tab-top cur- tains. Hang costumes and dress-up clothes in a cubby and store puppets, musical instruments and other props in a toy chest. Finish by hanging a mirror at tyke height so children can watch themselves rehearse, and don't forget to add a few comfy chairs for the audience. If your child has another obses- sion, turn an undersized room into her special hangout For example, if she is into outer space, turn it into a mini planetarium with a dark- painted ceiling and a night-sky pro- jector Just be prepared to update the theme in a year or two when your child's interests inevitably leap to something else. "Having this little bonus room al- most gives you the excuse to go wild," Ginocchio says. "You don't have to spend a ton of money or think, what's going to be my return on investment? It's a chance to have fun."

PLANT Continued from Page E7 (Timber Press, 2004). Au- tumn olive fruits have been eaten in Japan, with whole branches lopped off and sold on the streets with their fruits attached. The Japanese name for autumn olive is aki-gumi, meaning "autumn silver- berry," and it refers to the ripening period and the silvery flecking found also on the fruits. Incidentally, autumn olives are rich in lycopene, a natural compound that offers protection against certain types of cancers. Enjoy, but don't plant A few varieties of au- tumn olive have been se- lected for their dazzling shows of fruit. One, "Bril- liant Rose," is also my fa- Because of its invasiveness, autumn olive should not be planted wherever it is considered so; check to determine whether or not it is invasive in your state.

Eating them will make some small contribution to throttling vorite for eating, if picked during that narrow win- dow of time when the berries have lost their as- tringency but have not yet started to shrivel.

With well- manicured lawns, it looked fresh and untouched, with streets bearing pastoral names like Spring Flowers and Summer Clouds. But in January, when the young parents cracked open their closing papers, they no- ticed an alarming clause. Their home builder had quietly signed away the rights to the land be- neath their home to its own en- ergy company It now had free rein deep below the surface to drill, mine or explore. Selling underground mineral rights has long been big business in the oil- and gas-rich boom- towns of Texas, North Dakota and beyond. But homeowners here might be surprised to learn that they, too, could be part of the prospecting. A Tampa Bay Times analysis found that D.R. Horton, the nation's largest home builder, has pocketed the rights beneath more than 2,500 Tampa Bay homesites, whether the homeowner realizes it or not. It's unclear what home builders expect to find deep be- neath Tampa Bay's suburbs. Homes here sit on swiss-cheese blocks of water and limestone, known more for sinkholes than fuel or treasures. But with recent advances in drilling technologies includ- ing hydraulic fracturing, known as crackingg" tapping into once-untouchable natural gas and oil reserves, experts say builders see the deeds as lottery tickets: potential jackpots buried beneath homes they can still sell at full price. "With the possibility of frack- ing, as stupid as it seems to do that in Florida, no one's taking any chances," Tampa land use attorney Pamela Jo Hatley said about builders. ME. D.R. Horton representatives did not respond to calls or emails. But the builder's own words fill stacks of deeds filed since 2007 reserving the rights below homesites, including more than 400 in Tampa Bay this year The mineral-rights claims lie mostly below cookie-cutter homes and townhouses sprin- kled across the Tampa suburbs, but affected homesites can also be found in every county across the bay area, and in cities from St. Petersburg to Spring Hill. Signed over from the builder to its Texas-based subsidiary, DRH Energy, the deeds hand eternal rights to practically any- thing of value that it finds buried underground, including gold, groundwater and gemstones. They also give the energy firm the right to explore, study, mine, drill, pump or install wellsites to access any and all treasures starting, depending on the deed, either 30 feet or 500 feet below ground. Homeowners are protected from oil derricks or any other equipment in their front yard by a one-page "surface waiver," though nothing prohibits a com- pany from drilling horizontally from afar Not all homeowners are pleased to learn they've settled the biggest purchase of their lives on a potential drilling zone. Some worry underground med- dling could lead to contamina- tion, industrial noise or home-destroying sinkholes. Oth- ers just want to earn a cut of any drilling profits themselves. But some home buyers said they don't even remember hear- ing of the underground deal. Mark McDonald, who bought a $150,000 townhome this year in FishHawk Ranch in eastern Hillsborough, said he remem- bers a thick stack of paperwork at closing but nothing about the mineral-rights deed. "I'm surprised," he said, when a Times reporter told him about the deed. "I didn't expect that at all." A home buyer who learns the land is encumbered might de- cide to look somewhere else. And a homeowner who agrees to the deal could have problems selling to someone else. Banks, lenders and insurers have balked at giving mortgages or in- surance coverage to homes where the underground rights belong to someone else or drilling is under way "It could screw up a deal if that were brought to the fore- front," said James Ruffolo, a Re- altor with Charles Rutenberg Realty "Buyers want the best deal possible, they want to own the home outright, and that could really rub people the wrong way" Florida law doesn't demand that builders alert home buyers that they own the rights beneath their feet. Attorneys rarely at- tend closings. And though title- insurance policies and public county records can cast light on the deeds, Realtors say it's all too easy to miss the fine print. Buyers sometimes sign away their rights knowingly, too. They learn of the mineral-rights deed at closing time, after they've arranged a mortgage, prepared to move and daydreamed about their new kitchen. The deal is set up, some buyers said, in a way that makes it nearly impos- sible to say no. Zach Sinclair, the Whispering Oaks homeowner, said he first saw the mineral-rights clause after signing nearly 70 pages of closing forms. A former property manager in Chicago, he said he knows well the strategy of slip- ping in bad news near the end of the stack. When he asked a builder rep- resentative about it, he said, he was told it was "no big deal" but the form had to be signed. "If I didn't sign all those pa- pers, the deal was off, and I had a waiting kid and a pregnant wife who wanted to kill me.

But a lot of people probably went through on robot mode and just signed it." MEN At a typical closing, a homebuyer can expect the land is theirs down to the core. Most property law works off a Latin doctrine, "For whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to heaven and down to hell." But everything has a price, and since the mining booms of more than a century ago, prospectors and "land men" have doled out big money for subsurface rights, a tac- tic dramatized in the movie "There Will Be Blood." This works in the other direction, too: In places like Manhattan, millions of dollars are spent on "air rights" for highrises, radio towers and other skyward growth. Florida may not seem like an ob- vious choice for energy conglomer- ates looking to boost their supplies. But more than 150 oil wells are ac- tive statewide, with massive oil fields on both ends of the state fill- ing more than 2 million barrels of crude last year As oil prices have risen in recent years, incentives to drill have strengthened. In five years, environmental officials have approved 40 statewide oil drilling permits (and denied zero). More refined technologies have also led drillers to expand their horizons. Horizontal drilling, in which long pipes can branch off sideways from a vertical well, has opened up long-hidden pools of fuel beneath residential neighborhoods.

Energy companies paid more than $20 billion last year in natural-gas royalties alone. Though drilling in Florida is nothing new, the issue of energy prospectors' invasions upon the suburbs has recently heated up. In August, protesters in Naples marched outside Gov. Rick Scott's home and set up a model oil rig to criticize plans to drill about 1,000 feet from the nearest home, on the edge of a Florida panther refuge. Critics have warned that frack- ing's forceful bursts of water, sand and chemicals, which are used to free deeply embedded gas and oil, could poison or pollute soil, air and groundwater supplies. This year, Florida lawmakers attempted to demand that well operators tell the state which chemicals they use in their cracking fluids; the bill failed. Debates over cracking's explosive growth led homeowners in at least one state to fight back against min- eral-rights snatching. Last year, after an outcry from homeowners and letters from the North Carolina Department of Justice, D.R. Horton told state officials it would stop stripping the drilling rights from property deeds and offered to give the rights back to homeowners. But some say builders would rather chance a potential backlash than trade away a future payday "It's a gamble," said Mark Stew- art, a professor at University of South Florida's School of Geo- sciences. "It's something you can reserve for yourself that might have some future value, and it costs you nothing." Average 30-year mortgage now up to 4.35 percent Associated Press WASHINGTON -Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose for the second straight week amid some signs of eco- nomic strength. Still rates re- main near historically low levels. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan increased to 4.35 per- cent from 4.16 percent last week. That's the highest level since Sept. 19, when it was 4.50 percent. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage rose to 3.35 percent from 3.27 percent. The rates, though, are at their lowest levels in four months. A report from the govern- ment last week that U.S. em- ployers added a surprisingly strong 204,000 jobs in Octo- ber, despite the 16-day fed- eral shutdown, indicated the economy may be sturdier than many had assumed. Another government re- port showed surprising growth in the economy from July through September, though much of the gain came from a buildup in com- pany stockpiles. Mortgage rates began falling in September when the Federal Reserve contin- ued its $85-billion-a-month bond purchases. The pur- chases are intended to keep long-term interest rates low Slower hiring in previous months had led many ana- lysts to predict that the Fed will maintain the current pace of the bond purchases into early next year, likely keeping mortgage rates low for the immediate future. Some economists saw com- ments Thursday by Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen, nomi- nated by President Barack Obama to be the next chair- man of the central bank, as a sign that the Fed won't move at its next meeting in Decem- ber to reduce the bond pur- chases. Rather, the Fed could delay any so-called tapering of bond buying beyond March, when many have pre- dicted it would begin. Yellen told the Senate Banking Committee, which is considering her nomina- tion, that the economy has regained ground lost to the Great Recession but still needs the Fed's support be- cause unemployment re- mains too high at 7.3 percent. To calculate average mort- gage rates, Freddie Mac sur- veys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. KAREN E.
