Barn meeting remains a mystery


MIKE WRIGHT
mwright@chronicleonline.com
Chronicle
On one side is the state senator,
insisting he met with a top county
official, showed him plans for a
5,000-square-foot barn, and was
told it didn't require a building
permit
On the other is that official, a
27-year government veteran, sen-
ior member of the county staff,
saying he doesn't recall the con-
versation ever taking place - but
not outright denying that it did.
" In the.middle are Citrus County
commissioners who are left to
wonder what, if anything, hap-
pened between state Sen. Charlie
Dean and Development Services


Director Gary Maidhof.
Three commissioners said they
are inclined to believe Dean be-
cause his recollection of the con-
versation is specific.
They say Maidhof's explana-
tion - that the meeting took place
if Dean said it did - seems hol-
low.
"We haven't been able to get
straight answers," Commissioner
Winn Webb said. "Gary didn't re-
member the conversation with
Sen. Dean. Sen. Dean was pretty
adamant that it took place."
Neither Commissioners Dennis
Damato nor Joe Meek offered a
comment on whether they
thought the meeting occurred.
"I don't want to speculate at all
on that," Meek said.


Regardless, County Administra-
tor Brad Thorpe has removed
Maidhof from the loop in the
Dean barn permitting case. I
Thorpe is assigning the case to .
Building Division Director Den-
nis MacNeil, who works for Maid-
hof. However, MacNeil will report
directly to Thorpe.
Thorpe .said Friday he told
Dean's attorney that MacNeil, and
not Maidhof, will oversee permit-
ting compliance.
"I think because of the public
interest in this process, it just be-
comes more transparent," Thorpe
said. "Because of the sensitivity of
it, it's good that these people re-
port directly to me,"

Defiant Tehran protesters battle police


Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran - Thousands of
protesters defied Iran's highest
authority Saturday and marched
on waiting security forces that
fought back with baton charges,
tear gas and water cannons as the
crisis over disputed elections
lurched into volatile new ground.
In a separate incident, a state-
run television channel reported


that a suicide bombing at the
shrine of the Islamic Revolution
leader Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini killed at least two peo-
ple and wounded eight. The re-
port could be not independently
evaluated due to government re-
strictions on journalists.
If proven true, the reports could
enrage conservatives and bring
strains among backers of opposi-
tion leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.


Demonstrators line Wilshire Boulevard at Veteran Avenue on Saturday
in the Westwood district of Los Angeles in a display of solidarity with
the people of Iran who believe their presidential election was rigged.

Researchers take on rush hour


Miami students get crash course

on Florida's infamous roadways


Associated Press

MIAMI - The students sit
at long desks, their eyes
glued to big screens show-
ing traffic-choked highways.
A simulator allows the stu-
dents to create a traffic ac-
cident and try to reduce the
delay it causes.
Researchers at the Inte-
grated Intelligent Trans-
portation System
Laboratory at Florida Inter-
national University are-


working to advance traffic
research, a field that has
yielded technologies from
optimally timed stoplights
to highway ramps that
measure vehicle flow.
The lab debuted last
month in collaboration with
the Florida Department of
Transportation, as part of
the Lehman Center for
Transportation Research at
the College of Engineering.
Forty-five masters and
doctoral students seeking


degrees in transportation
engineering use the facility.
Its director, Mohammed
Hadi, said South Florida,
where congested roadways
can spur bouts of road rage,
gives students ample oppor-
tunities to put research to
test.
Cameras and motion de-
tectors along the highway
track traffic or vehicle
speeds and transmit the in-
formation to the DOT. Lab
researchers can use the in-
formation to see how many
vehicles are being diverted
or if traffic is slowing.
When ramp signals were
built along Interstate 95, stu-


dents participated in the re-
search and went out to the
field to see how the technol-
ogy was working. The lab is
also used to promote the 511
system of call-in traffic infor-
mation. If the state Depart-
ment of Transportation's
systems ever failed, the FIU
lab could fill in.
One of the lab's Ph.D. stu-
dents, Yohannes Kesete, 27,
came to FIU from the north-
eastern African country of
Eritrea in hopes of learning
how to improve road infra-
structure in his homeland.
He plans to return to Eritrea
after several years of engi-
neering work in the U.S. He's


fascinated by the fact that
whatever the traffic issue,
there's always a solution.
"We can work as far as
your imagination takes
you," he said.
John Augustine, deputy
director of the Intelligent
Transportation Systems
joint program office, a divi-
sion of the U.S. Department
of Transportation, said re-
searchers working in the
field could develop systems
to allow vehicles to commu-
nicate wirelessly and that
alert traffic controllers to
know, for example, when a
car's windshield wipers are
activated.

Christian Miller, 5, lines up some homemade water-bottle rockets on Friday at Whispering Pines Park in Inverness during the final day of

"I think the regime has
taken an enormous risk in
confronting this situation in
the manner that they have,"
said Mehrdad Khonsari, a
consultant to the London-
lbased Center for Arab and
Iranian Studies.
"Now they'll have to hold

tory has taught us that peo-
ple in these situations lose

In Washington, President
Barack Obama urged Iran-
ian authorities to halt "all vi-
olent and unjust actions
against its own people." He
said the United States
"stands by all who seek to

rights to assembly and free

Obama has offered to
open talks with Iran to ease
a nearly 30-year diplomatic
freeze, but the upheaval
could complicate any at-
tempts at outreach.
Full details of the street
battles 'could not be ob-
tained because of Iranian
media restrictions. But wit-
nesses described scenes that
could sharply escalate the
most serious internal con-
flict since the 1979 Islamic
Revolution.
An estimated 3,000
marchers - some chanting
"Death to dictatorship!" -
marched directly onto a
blockade of security forces


keeping them from ap-
proaching Azadi Square,
where Mousavi gathered
hundreds of thousands of
people on Monday.
Police first fired tear gas
and water cannons at the
protesters, witnesses said..
Then came a second wave. It
included volunteer militia-
men on motorcycles chasing
down demonstrators.
Witnesses claimed some
marchers were beaten with
batons by security forces or
metal pipes wielded by the
militiamen known as Basi-
jis, who are directed by the
powerful Revolutionary
Guard. .
An old woman cloaked in
a head-to-toe black chador
shouted, "Death to the dicta-
tor," drawing the attention of
Basij members who ran
from the other side of the
street and clubbed her, ac-
cording to one witness con-
tacted by the AP
Protesters lit trash bins on
fire - sending pillars of
black smoke over the city -
and hurled rocks. Some


managed to wrestle away a
few motorcycles and set.
them ablaze.
One witness told the AP
that people came from.
apartments to aid the-
wounded demonstrators or'
allowed them to take shelter
Helicopters hovered over
central Tehran until dusk.
The witnesses told AP that'
between 50 and 60 protest-
ers were seriously beaten by
police and pro-government
militia and taken to Imam
Khomeini hospital in cen-
tral Tehran. People could be
seen dragging: away com-
rades bloodied by baton
strikes.
Nearby, Tehran Univer-:
sity was cordoned off by po-
lice and militia.
On the streets, witnesses
said some protesters also
shouted "Death to
Khamenei!" - another sign
of once unthinkable chal-
lenges to the authority of the
successor of Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, the fa-
ther of the Islamic Revolu-
tion.

classification. Dean said he does-
n't believe the barn needed a
building permit because the state


Right to Farm act exempts non-
residential buildings from per-
mits when built on land
classified for agriculture.
Before building the barn in
2007, Dean said he went into
Maidhof's office, laid the build-
ing plans out on his desk and
asked if he needed a permit. Ac-
cording to Dean, Maidhof said a
permit wasn't necessary, though
he would need permits from the
health department for the septic
and well.
The conversation became an
issue earlier this year when.a cit-
izen complained to county com-
missioners that Dean was
allowed to build the structure
without permits.
Maidhof said he doesn't recall
the conversation with Dean tak-
ing place. He said he could find
nothing on his calendar that
showed a scheduled meeting


with Dean and he didn't issue attorney on Friday.
Dean a letter or memo about the County commissioners, mean-


permit.
Still, Maidhof is not denying
the conversation took place. In-
stead, he said that if Dean recalls
it, then it probably happened.
McCollum's opinion included
two points: a barn with bedrooms
is not exempt from building per-
mits and, because of that, the
county has the authority to regu-
late building and zoning codes.
A day after McCollum made his
ruling, Dean sent out a statement
saying he agreed-and that the
county had already told him he
didn't need permits.
As the week progressed, Dean
seemed to have softened his po-
sition. Thorpe said Dean agreed
to obtain whatever building per-
mits are necessary and pay an
impact fee. Thorpe said he sent
the permit application to Dean's


while, are wondering what, if
anything, took place between
Dean and Maidhof.
"I don't have that factual infor-
mation," Commissioner Gary
Bartell said. "If he told Charlie
Dean he didn't need permits, he.
was dead wrong."
Commission Chairman John
Thrumston said Wednesday that
he not only believed Dean's ver-
sion of the meeting with Maidhof,
he thinks that Maidhof did Dean
a "favor" by saying permits were
not required.
Thrumston said he believes
Maidhof is trying to "cover his
own rear end" by now saying he
doesn't recall the meeting with
Dean.
Other commissioners generally
distanced themselves from
Thrumston's comment


"I don't have the facts to say
one way or another," Bartell said.
Bartell, however, added he
thinks that Maidhof would re-
member a building-permit con-
versation with Dean.
"To forget that 6-foot-8 Charlie
Dean is standing next to you say-.
ing, 'What do you think?' - how
do you forget that?" Bartell said.
Meek said he agreed with
Thorpe's plan to have MacNeil
head up the permit review of,
Dean's barn.
"Because Gary Maidhof was in-
volved and this is a high-profile
issue, Brad's intent is to ensure
the process is looked at from an
independent individual," Meek'
said.
Bartell agreed, saying: "While,
I have the highest respect for
Charlie Dean, he needs to follow
the same set of rules as anybody
else."

Local Republicans gather for annual dinner


Special to the Chronicle

The Citrus County Republican
Party held its annual Lincoln Day
dinner June 5 at Citrus Hills Golf
and Country Club in Hernando.
The fundraising event brought
together many of the party's local
political luminaries and ended
the evening with a- keynote
speech from Congressman (and
candidate for Florida Agriculture
Commissioner) Adam Putnam.
The Lincoln Day Dinner, at-
tended by more than 220 people


this year, is one of the premier an-
nual fundraising events for all
County Republican Parties in
Florida.
Putnam, who was introduced
by Congresswoman Ginny Brown-
Waite, echoed the remarks of
other Republican speakers who
preceded him by underscoring a
common theme: To be successful,
the GOP needs to stick to its con-
servative principles.'
The congressman also praised
Citrus County Republicans for
their success in securing most of


the county's major offices
through their hard work.
This year's dinner also fea-
tured a junior guest speaker, Ho-
mosassa resident Werner
Ferrone, who recently gained a
third-place victory in the Na-
tional Oratorical Contest spon-
sored by the American Legion
and earned a $14,000 college
scholarship.
Mr. Ferrone's speech "The U.S.
Constitution - Our Rights and Re-
sponsibilities," emphasized how
the founding fathers intended for


the Constitution to be interpreted
by its original meaning, not
through evolving standards such
as the "living" document doc-
trine.
Along with GOP State Commit-
teewoman Debra Fredrick and
John McIsaac, who were given
the Republican of the Year
awards for 2008, the executive
committee recognized Sandy Bal-
four and Al Merbeth for their
dedication with Volunteer of the
Year awards and REC Treasurer
Charles Huelsmann for past serv-


ice to the organization.
Executive Committee Chair-
man Richard Windle remarked
on the success of the event, "In
terms of raising funds for the
party for future elections, thisahas
been one of our best years yet.
Citizens are very concerned
about the direction the current
administration is taking the coun-
try in."
Lincoln Day Dinner Committee
Chairman Michael Moberley
served as the master of cere-
monies.

Deputies arrested a Crys-
tal River man Friday on sev-
-eral charges stemming from
a car crash on U.S. 19.
According to a Citrus
County Sheriff's Office ar-
rest report, police re-
sponded to a call that a
Crash happened at the in-
tersection of Third Avenue
and U.S. 19 in Crystal River.
Odus Wayne Jeane re-
portedly told a deputy that
he was on his way home
from work when the acci-
dent occurred. He told the
deputy that the car in front
of him stopped due to traf-
'fic and he was unable to
stop.
The driver of the vehicle
that was hit allegedly told
the. police that he was
stopped with traffic and had
, just started to move forward
when he "saw Jeane's car
, quickly approaching from
. behind. He went on to say
that he told his children to
hold on and that was when
he was hit from behind
When asked for a driver's
License, Jeane reportedly
handed the deputy an ex-
pired identification card
from Texas. According to
the -arrest report, police
.later discovered that


Jeane's license was sus-
pended for a DUI in Texas.
After completing an in-
vestigation of the crash, the
deputy reportedly advised
Jeane that he was citing him
for the crash and that he
would investigation the fact
that he believed Jeane was
intoxicated during the
crash.
Jeane denied he had been
drinking and agreed to par-
ticipate in some field sobri-
ety tasks.
According to the report,
Jeane was unable to suc-
cessfully perform any of the
tasks he was asked to per-
form. During one task,
Jeane allegedly said he did-
n't want to do the task any-
more and stated that he had
one drink at Castaways Bar
before the crash.
Once at the Citrus County
Detention Facility, Jeane re-
portedly refused to submit
to a test of his breath. After
further investigation by po-
lice, they discovered Jeane
had five prior DUI arrests in
Texas along with three ar-
rests for driving with a sus-
pended license.
Jeane was charged with
DUI, DUI with damage to
property, driving with a sus-
pended/revoked license and
driving with a. license ex-
pired for more than four
months. His bond was set at
$20,500.

SCLC renews poverty campaign before small crowd


Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. -With a
wet towel draped across his
head and a garbage bag of
aluminum cans in his left
hand, Jamot Poe watched
members of the Southern
Christian Leadership Con-
ference march Saturday on
a sweltering spring day.
Poe, 32, was not among the
fewer than 1,000 marchers in
the roughly 1-mile trek to the
steps of the Mississippi State
Capitol through a tough
Jackson neighborhood.
He was just a former drug
addict without a home, Poe
said, and out collecting cans
for money. He paused for a
few minutes to watch the


SCLC marchers as they
passed by, renewing a
poverty campaign initiated
by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
more than 40 years ago.
"I think they're speaking
up for people like myself,"
Poe said. "I don't live on the
street because I stay at the
(homeless) shelter every
night I don't have to get out
here and beg or steal from
anybody But it means a lot
that they are doing this for
the homeless and for the
poor people in the commu-
nity."
The SCLC, co-founded by
King in 1957, had hoped to
mobilize 50,000 people Sat-
urday and though far fewer
-showed up, Interim SCLC


President Rev. Byron Clay
vowed to take the campaign
to Washington and challenge
Congress to help the poor.
The event was first envi-
sioned by King, who was
planning a Poor People's
Campaign and march' on
Washington before he was
assassinated in 1968. That
march originated in Marks,
Miss., but King was killed be-
fore its completion. Clay said
Mississippi leads the nation
in poverty and that's why the
campaign was being re-
newed in Jackson.
"If it's a thousand people.
If it's 5,000. If it's 10,000. God
has appointed 'them to be
here," Clay said. "But also
understand that this is a pro-


gressive process ... It will not
start and stop here in Jack-
son."
In October, Clay said the
SCLC will travel to Washing-
ton to demand Congres-
sional hearings on poverty.
'And at that time, we will call
the masses from all over this
country to come to Washing-
ton and to stand united," he
said.
"It is not about Jackson. It
is not about Mississippi,"
Clay said. "It's about people
all over this country who are
living in poverty, who are
hurting, who are suffering,
who are without jobs, who
are losing their homes, who
are losing their cars and los-
ing hope."

Reporter escapes


Associated Press
KABUL - A New York
Times reporter known for
making investigative trips
deep inside dangerous con-
flict zones escaped from mil-
itant captors after more than
seven months in captivity by
climbing over a wall, the
newspaper said Saturday.
David S. Rohde was ab-
ducted Nov. 10 along with an
Afghan reporter colleague
and. a driver south of the
Afghan capital, Kabul. He
had been traveling through
Logar province to interview
a Taliban commander, but
was apparently intercepted
and taken by other militants
on the way.
The Times reported that
Rohde and Afghan reporter
Tahi Ludin on Friday
climbed over the wall of a
compound where they were
held captive in the North
Waziristan region of Pakistan,
The twb then found a Pak-
istani army scout, who led
them to a nearby base, the
Times said. On Saturday, the
two were flown to the U.S.
military base in Bagram, the
Times reported.


A U.S. military spokes-
woman, Lt. Cmdr. Chrstine
Sidenstricker, said the mili-
tary had not been involved.
She could not say whether
the State Department or
CIA had flown the two to the
military facility.
Rohde, reported to be
in good health, said his
driver remained with their
captors.
In Washington, White
House press secretary
Robert Gibbs said the U.S. is
"very pleased" that Rohde
is safe and returning home.
He said the escape "marks
the end of a long and diffi-
cult ordeal."
Afghan officials con-
firmed the kidnapping in
the days after the abduc-
tion, but The Associated
Press and most other West-
ern news outlets respected
a request from the Times to
not report on the abductions
because the publicity could
negatively affect hostage
rescue efforts and imperil
Rohde's life.
"From the early days of
this ordeal, the prevailing
view among David's family,

Report: Apple CEO Jobs

had liver transplant


Associated Press

NEW YORK - Apple
Inc. co-founder and CEO
Steve Jobs, whose recovery
from pancreatic cancer ap-
peared less certain when
he had to take medical
leave in January, received
a liver transplant two
months ago but is recover-
ing well, The Wall Street
Journal reported Saturday.
The newspaper didn't re-
veal a source for the report,
which comes as Jobs, 54, is
expected back in his day-
to-day duties at the com-
pany shortly CNBC said
later that it had confirmed
the Journal's account,
which said Jobs had the
transplant performed in
Tennessee.
Apple spokesman Steve
Dowling told The Associ-
ated Press he had no com-
ment. Dowling reiterated
what has become Apple's
standard line about the
CEO's health, that "Steve
continues to look forward
to returning to Apple at the
end of June and there is
nothing further to say."


Few CEOs are consid-
ered as instrumental to
their .companies as Jobs
has been to Apple since he
returned in 1997 after a 12-
year hiatus. With Jobs serv-
ing as head showman and
demanding elegance in
product design, Apple has
expanded from a niche,
computer maker to become
the dominant producer of
portable music players and,
a huge player in the cell
phone business. News and,
rumors about his health,
send Apple stock soaring,
or plunging.
Jobs disclosed in August
2004 that he had been di-
agnosed with - and cured
of - a rare .form of pan-
creatic cancer called an
islet cell neuroendocrine
tumor.
According to the Na-
tional Institutes of Health,
treatment for that form of.
pancreatic cancer can in-
clude the removal of a por-
tion of the liver if the
cancer spreads. The can-,
cer is curable if the tumors
are removed before they
spread to other organs.

' During an interview
Thursday, 13-year-old
daughter, Courtney, said her
father is her superman, the
epitome of strength.
* Tucker said he spent time
with his wife and daughter
before his cancer diagnosis
but not as much as he does
now.
"I'm really close to my
dad," Courtney said. "Hang-
ing out with him has always
been fun."
' Tucker and Courtney are

hair," Tucker said.
"I love him to death,"
Courtney said. "I'm always
going to be his little girl."
Although Tucker and
Courtney have shared a lot
of meaningful moments
over the years, it wasn't


cause of his devotion to his
two young daughters, his
dedication to being a Crys-
tal River Little League soft-
ball coach and his love for

on spending as much qual-
ity time as possible with his
daughter and wife.
'After I found out I had
cancer, I spent a little more
time here or there," Tucker
said. "Life's too short to
take stuff for granted, that's
for sure."
"It's a big eye-opener,"


Mrs. Tucker said. ,
"Especially at 31," Tucker
added.
For the Tuckers, quality
family time, such as playing
in the pool, watching
movies and going for walks,
became top priority over
daily tasks.

the small things in life are
really the big ones," Court-

Griffin stayed by his son's

The Tuckers have made a
conscious effort to push the

chores aside to free time for
bonding and creating mem-
ories.
The Tuckers describe the
last few months as an emo-
tional rollercoaster ride; it's
holding tightly to each other

they said.
Tucker is responding well
to treatment. He is nearing
the end of his first, and
maybe last, round of
chemotherapy and doctors
say he has a good chance of
going into remission.

Kla, a Russell terrier, waits
on her surfboard Saturday
before her turn at the'
Loews Coronado Bay Re-
sort Surf Dog Competition
held In Imperial Beach,
Calif. More than 50 dogs
and owners took part in the
annual dog surfing compe-
tition. Dogs are judged on
confidence level, length of
ride and overall ability.

Even in White House,
kids have chores
WASHINGTON -How do
the Obamas keep their girls'
lives normal in the White
House? Chores.
. 'We're pretty old school,"
President Barack Obama told
Harry Smith of CBS News in
a Friday interview to air on
Father's Day.
"Malia and Sasha, they
have to make their beds," the
president said. 'They have to
walk the dog. They have to
feed the dog. They have to do
their homework. They don't
watch TV during the week."
' Sasha, 8, and Malia, 10,
moved into the White House
with their parents in January.
Bo the dog became part of
the family a bit later.
The president is making a
prominent effort to promote re-,
sponsible fatherhood. He says
part of his job as a dad is to

British gov't spells
end of 'i before e'
LONDON - It's a spelling
mantra that generations of
schoolchildren have learned
- "i before e, except after c."
But new British govern-
ment guidance tells teachers
not to pass on the rule to stu-
dents, because there are too
many exceptions.
The "Support For Spelling"
document, which is being
sent to thousands of primary
schools, says the rule "is not
worth teaching" because it
doesn't account for words like
'sufficient,' "veil' and 'their.'
Jack Bovell of the Spelling
Society, which advocates sim-
plified spelling, said Saturday
he agreed with the decision.
But supporters say the ditty
has value because it is one of
the few language rules that
most people remember.

drug industry

agree to tens

Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The phar-
maceutical industry agreed Sat-
urday to spend $80 billion over
the next decade improving drug
benefits for seniors on Medicare
and defraying the cost of Presi-
dent Barack Obama's health
care legislation, capping secre-
tive negotiations involving key
lawmakers and the White House.
"This new coverage means af-
fordable prices on prescription
drugs when Medicare benefits
don't cover the cost of prescrip-
tions." Sen. Max Baucus, chair-
man of the Senate Finance
Committee, said in a statement
announcing the accord.
The deal marked a major tri-
umph for Baucus as well as the
administration. Obama praised
the deal.
"The agreement by pharma-
ceutical companies to contribute
to the health reform effort comes
on the heels of the landmark
pledge many health industry
leaders made to me last month,
when they offered to do their
part to reduce health spending
trillionn over the next decade."
Obama said "We are at a turning
point in America's journey to-
ward health care reform."
Baucus, a Montana Democrat.
has been negotiating with nu-
merous industry groups for
weeks as he tries to draft legisla-
tion that meets Obama's goal of
vastly expanding health cover-
age, has bipartisan support and
does not add to the deficit.
Baucus' announcement said
drug companies would pay half.
of the cost of brand-name drugs
for seniors in the so-called
doughnut hole - a gap in cover-
age that is a-feature of many of
the plans providing prescription
coverage under Medicare. Other
officials said wealthier Medicare
beneficiaries would not receive
the same break, but there was no
mention of that in the statement
In addition, the entire cost of
the drug would count toward a
patient's out-of-pocket costs,
meaning their insurance cover-
age would cover more of their
expenses than otherwise.
Billy Tauzin, president and CEO
of the Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers of America
(PhRMA), said, "Millions of unin-
sured and financially struggling
Americans are depending on us to
accomplish comprehensive health
care reform this year. Today, Amer-
ica's pharmaceutical research and
biotechnology companies are sig-
naling their strong support for
these critically important efforts."

While none of the changes in
the prescription drug program
would directly lower govern-
ment costs, several officials also
said the industry agreed to
measures that would give the
Treasury more money under
federal health programs. In par-
ticular, officials said drug com-
panies would likely wind up
paying pay higher rebates for
certain drugs under Medicaid,
the program that provides
health care for the poor.
Those funds would be used to
help pay for legislation expand-
ing health insurance for millions
who now lack it
One official said the deal
was agreed to late Friday night
when Tauzin called Baucus. The
senator's statement said the
White House was involved in the
agreement.
It was not clear what leverage
the agreement would give Baucus
with other health care providers
with whom he is in negotiations.
But at a minimum, the agree-
ment served as an effective
counter to impression that the
drive to enact health care legis-
lation was sputtering.
The disclosure of negotia-
tions came near the end of an
up-and-down week for the ad-
ministration and its allies on
health care.


Congressional Budget Office es-
timates showed early versions of
two major Senate bills were either
too costly or failed to make a large
enough dent in the ranks of the
uninsured. Republicans seized on
the reports as evidence that De-
mocrats were losing traction.
They leapt again when it was
disclosed that House Democrats
were considering a wide array of
tax increases to finance their
legislation, including ap income
tax surcharge, a tax on employ-
ers based on the size of their pay-
roll and a value-added tax, aw
form of a national sales tax.
House Democrats on Friday
unveiled draft legislation they
said would cover virtually all of
the nation's nearly 50 million
uninsured but it came without a
price tag or an indication of how
it would bepaid for.
Major provisions of the 850-
page measure would impose
new responsibilities On individ-
uals to obtain coverage and on
employers to provided it It also
would end insurance company
practices that deny coverage to
the sick and create a new gov-
ernment-sponsored plan to com-
pete with private companies.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said
she hopes the legislation can clear
the House before lawmakers leave
for their annual August vacation.


Truck bomb kills more than 70 in northern Iraq


Associated Press
BAGHDAD - A truck
bomb exploded as wor-
shippers left a Shiite
mosque in northern Iraq
on Saturday, killing more
than 70 people and wound-
ing nearly 200 in the dead-
liest bombing this year.


The blast near Kirkuk
came hours after the
prime minister warned
Iraqis to expect more vio-
lence as U.S. troops with-
draw from Iraqi cities by
the end of this month, but
he insisted the deadline
will be met "no matter
what happens."


Rescue teams searched
into the night to find peo-
ple buried under the rub-
ble while women begged
police to let them near the
site so they could search
for loved ones. The U.S.
military said it was pro-
viding generator lights
and water at the site.


The death toll rose to
at least 72 as more bodies
were found beneath the
debris, according to po-
lice and hospital offi-
cials, who spoke on
condition of anonymity
because they weren't au-
.thorized to release the

Obama: Be a

better father

than mine

Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Barack
Obama got a basketball, his first
name and ambition from his:fa-
ther. Little else.
As a candidate and now presi-
dent, lie's been telling men what
sort of father they should be. It's
become his Father's Day ritual.
He's asking American men to
be better fathers than his own.
A Kenyan goatherder-turned-
intellectual who clawed his way
to scholarships and Harvard,
Barack Hussein Obama Sr. left
a family behind to get his
schooling in the United States.
He started another family here,
then left his second wife and 2-
year-old Barack Jr. to return to
Africa with another woman.
His promise flamed out in
Africa after stints working for an
oil company and the government;
he fell into drink and died in a
car crash when his son was 21, a
student at Columbia University.
"I don't want to be the kind of
father I had," the president is
quoted as telling a friend in a
new book about.him.
His finger-wagging is most
pointed when addressing other
black men, reflecting years of
worry about the fabric of black
families and single mothers, but
it applies to everyone.
Father's Day 2007: "Let's
admit to ourselves that there
are a lot of men out there that
need to stop acting like boys;
who need to realize that re-
sponsibility does not end at con-
ception; who need to know that
what makes you a man is not the
ability to have a child but the
courage to raise a child."
Father's Day 2008: '"Any f9ol
can have a child. That doesn't
make you a father. It's the
courage to raise a child that
makes you a father."
Father's Day 2009: "We need
to step out of our own heads and
tune in. We need to turn off the
television and start talking with
our kids, and listening to them,
and understanding what's going
on in their lives."
He doesn't hold himself out as
the ideal dad. No driven politi-
cian can.
"I know I have been an im-
perfect father," he writes in
Sunday's Parade magazine. -"I
know I have made mistakes.' I
have lost count of all the times,
over the years, when the de-
mands of work have taken me
from the duties of fatherhood."
Obama himself attributed his
"fierce ambitions" to his dad
while crediting his mother - a
loving but frequently absent fig-
ure - with giving him the
means to pursue them.

preparation for his trip to the
Grand Canyon.
But it wasn't long after Poole
started hiking on a popular
Grand Canyon trail that he was
struggling to breathe. Several
hours later, he was in a northern
Arizona hospital, where doctors
determined the 75-year-old Poole
had suffered a heart attack
"I never suspected,I was hav-
ing a heart attack," Poole said re-
cently from his home in Oxford,
Miss. "I just thought it was the
heat and extra exertion, the alti-
tude and things like that I was
just so naive."
At the Flagstaff Medical Center
- northern Arizona's only Level
I trauma center, and the place'
where Poole was treated - offi-
cials have a name for the spring
and summer months when many
tourists travel to the canyon.
They call it "Grand Canyon Sea-
son."
Emergency workers at the park
and' hospital officials know
they'll start seeing more people
with injuries or those who, like
Poole, didn't know they had un-
derlying health conditions that
surfaced during the strenuous
hikes at the canyon.
The canyon lures millions of
people each year with its colorful
landscape, immense size, and
awe-inspiring geology. But it
presents obstacles that can leave
even experienced hikers emerg-
ing sore and fatigued, including
scorching heat during summer
months, an altitude of 7,000 feet,
and steep, rocky, winding trails.
"There's a million ways you
can hurt yourself down there,"
said LonAyers, who works in the
park's backcountry office.
The last few weeks have illus-
trated that.
In late April, an Ohio man fell
60 feet when he was peering over
the edge of the canyon and lost
his balance. Two days later, two
teenagers and a young man who
were swimming in the Colorado
.RiVer at the bottom of the canyon
were swept away and drowned.
Another injury occurred'when a
mule lost its footing on a trail, fell
and rolled over the passenger it
was carrying.

atures and horseplay at national
parks around the country lead to:
nearly 3.600 search and rescue
operations each year, according
to 2007 figures. The park service
also responds to 16,000 emer-
gency medical calls a year for
anything from abrasions to
twisted ankles, heat stroke and
cardiac arrest, said Dean Ross.
N PS branch chief of emergency
services in Washington, D.C.
Rangers at the Grand Canyon
perform more rescues than at
any other park. including 300 hel-
icopter rescues a year, said Ross.


People who come prepared,

er, and who pace themselves and
listen to their bodies fare the best,

take it easy." said Dave Florence

completed a 40-mile. five-day
hike at the canyon.
But hikers don't always heed
warnings from rangers and on
signs posted around the canyon.
Allan Widener of Louisville,
Ky., recently took the Bright
Angel trail just off the canyon's
South' Rim. After a park staff


member strongly recommended
that Widener not head down
without water, the hiker quipped
that, "I don't drink water, I drink
Coke."
On the way back from his 1V2
mile hike, leaning against the
canyon wall in a shady spot, the
48-year-old said he wished he'd
had something to drink
Park rangers say they generally
encounter three types of people
hiking in the cahyonrThere are
the strong-headed ones, usually
in their teens and 20s who have
an invincibility complex and will


go against recommendations.
Others are excited and unpre-
pared but willing to change plans
if needed.
Then there are people like Al-
bert Shank, who are prepared
and generally stick to plans
they've made, but sometimes get
in trouble because of circum-
stance or because they made a
bad decision, said Marc Yeston,
deputy chief ranger.
Shank was about 28 miles into
what was supposed to be a 42-
mile rim-to-rim run in April ,
when his legs started cramping
and his body refused to keep
down any food or water He
nearly collapsed on a park bench
and spent several hours having
saline pumped into his body be-
fore he was able to walk out of
the canyon.
The Arizona State University
faculty associate, who often runs
distances longer than marathons,
had plenty of water, energy bars
and peanut butter and jelly sand-
wiches, but not enough elec-
trolytes or salty food.
"That was a rookie mistake,
and I'm not a rookie," he said. "I
learned that no matter how good
of shape you're in, the canyon is
something you need to respect,
and' dehydration will take you
down."
What can be deceptive at the
Grand Canyon is that the temper-
ature at the South Rim, where 90
percent of all visitors go, is about
20 degrees cooler than at the bot-
tom. And while most trails lead
hikers up a mountain before the
downward descent,,it's the oppo-
site at the Grand Canyon.
mom
"It's a unique set of circum-
stances," Ayers said. "People
from all over the world need to at
least hear it from somebody on
what to expect. People who have
never hiked the Grand Canyon
before expect it to be a walk in
the park"
Some hikers do undertake ex-
traordinary preparations. But
other times, rangers say they
aren't sure what people were
thinking. They've seen a man in a
business suit carrying a briefcase
full of water bottles, a man play-
ing a tuba and people hiking
without shoes or in flip-flops.
"It all stems from a lack of pre-
planning and knowledge of these
trails," said Ian Buchanan, a sea-
sonal park worker who advises
people on smart hiking. "A lot of
people get the sense that it's Dis-
neyland when it's an environ-
mental park"
This time of year, 30 percent of
the heart patients at Flagstaff
Medical Center are brought in
from the canyorinvith conditions
such as valve and rhythm prob-
lems, and heart disease and
blockages.

Scientists give green travel advice


Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A scientist
group has put together a guide to
green travel to help you deter-
mine which modes of transporta-
tion have the smallest carbon
footprint, and the group, the
Union of Concerned Scientists,
says some of the greenest choices
can also save money.
UCS researchers compared the
amount of carbon dioxide - the
chief heat-trapping gas that drives
global warmirig - from driving,


flying, traveling by train or bus,
and also compared per-person
emissions for solo travelers versus
those traveling in pairs or as a
family of four. Here are some of
their findings:
* For trips of more than 500
miles, if you're traveling solo or
with one other person, it's greener
to fly direct in coach than to drive,
according to the UCS.
* First-class seating takes up
more space than coach seating, so
the average first-class passenger
on a domestic flight is responsible


for generating twice as much car-
bon as someone seated in coach,
UCS says. Budget airlines with no
first-class seats can lower a
plane's per-person emissions 10
percent to 15 percent.
* Compared with flying coach, a
couple traveling on a bus will cut
their trip's carbon dioxide emis-
sions 55 percent to 75 percent, de-
pending on the distance traveled.
Compared to even a fuel-efficient
hybrid car, a bus trip would cut a
couple's trip emissions nearly in
half. Bus travel is' usually less ex-


pensive than flying and for a solo
traveler, can be cheaper than driv-
ing.
* Trains emit 60 percent less
carbon per passenger-mile than a
typical car with a single occupant
And compared with a 500-mile
trip on a small jet plane, a train
emits roughly 30 percent less car-
bon. Trains also can save money
by dropping you in city centers, so
you don't need to get a taxi or
rental car to get into town.
* The type of car you use for a
road trip makes a big difference.


An SUV emits nearly four times the
amount of carbon dioxide emis-
sions of a highly efficient hybrid
such as a Toyota Prius, and uses
nearly four times the amount of gas.
N Traveling off-peak can also
lower your carbon footprint and
travel bills. Spending less time in
traffic means better mileage and
lower fuel bills; flying off-peak
means your plane won't be wast-
ing fuel in a holding pattern and
your ticket could be cheaper.

valley, revealed the precise
location of the country's pro-
sciutto industry. It is said
that this precise location was
chosen nearly a thousand
years ago because of the
unique combination of sea
breezes pouring .over the
coastal range, mixing with
the mountain air, being ideal
for curing the specialized
hams of the area.
The prosciutto cures in
tall wooden lofts bathed in
. the magic mountain air for at
least 15 months before being
distributed to stores and
restaurants. This prosciutto,
even though a true and
pricey delicacy, is deemed
too salty for the European
market and is, therefore,


marketed only in Montene-
gro. One of the curing lofts
that we visited had more
than 10,000 hams hanging
from overhead beams.
After winding through
some beautiful mountains,
we arrived at Centinji, the
old capital and religious cen-
ter of Montenegro, which
lies in a high mountain val-
ley. It is said that the clock
stopped in Centinji more
than a half-century ago, due
to the relocation of the capi-
tal to Podgorica in 1946.'
The seat of power in the
1700s, Centinji was plun-
dered numerous times by the
Turks. Finally, brazen King
Petrovic declared war on the
mighty Ottoman Empire. Ap-
parently Centinji has been
bypassed ever since. We vis-
ited King Nikola Petrovic's
Palace, a humble place in the
ranking of palaces.


Concluding our enjoyment
of this unique country, and
its tranquil beauty, we ar-
rived back in Kotor and
boarded our ship in time for
dinner, and a deserved
night's sleep. Tomorrow
we'll cruise the Adriatic,
bound for Corfu, Greece, an-
other UNESCO World Her-
itage site.

Rhodes, travelers will re-
member the Apostle Paul's
brief visit there and recall
the crusaders known as the
Knights of St.John, who oc-
cupied the island for two
centuries.
Finally a stop at Ku-
sadasi, Turkey, will take
passengers to the grand city
of Ephesus (where St. Paul
lived and ministered for
three years). The restored
ruins are among the most
magnificent in the ancient
world.
Whittaker is opening reg-
istration to others in Citrus
County who may be inter-
ested, along with their rela-
tives and friends. "My wife
and I are looking forward
to this special pilgrimage,"
said. Pastor Whittaker. "I
have traveled to some of
these places before, but not
all of them. A trip like this
helps the places named in
the Bible really 'come
alive.' And to walk in the
footsteps of Jesus and Paul
is awesome. We invite oth-
ers who may be interested
to join us on this fabulous

Today's HOROSCOPE


Birthday: In the year ahead,
there's a strong possibility that
two people will enter your life, and
they will have a good influence on
you and your affairs. Something
you learn from these associations
will serve you well.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -
Keep-your thoughts to yourself,
especially those that are critical of
others. Otherwise, you might not
be able to keep more negative
comments from rushing out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - The
smartest thing you can do is to
engage in activities that don't cost
an arm and leg, because this

melancholy you experience is
likely t6 be self-induced. If you
tally up your assets, you'll dis-
cover you have more to be grate-
ful for than to fret over.
Libra (Sept. 23.-Oct. 23)--Al-
though your intuitive perceptions
are remarkable at times, this isn't
likely to be one of those days.
Rely solely on your logic and not
on your hunches.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -
The best way not to get caught off
guard is to depend solely on your
abilities, especially for important
matters.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)-
/An open mind is the only thing
that can keep you from need-
lessly making a big mistake. Al-
ways position yourself so that you
can clearly see the entire
panorama of events.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -
Worrying in advance about how
something is going to turn out is
foolish and will only make you
miserable.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -
Before agreeing to do something


for another, be certain that you
know what you're getting into.
Surface indicators might be any-
thing but a true picture.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - If'
you are forced into an arbitrating

it's unlikely you'll come up with an
excuse for not doing them.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)-
Keep a close watch on your
spending, and do not foolishly
gamble money away. You may
think you're a millionaire, but your
bank account says different.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) -
Your independence might be im-
portant to you, but chances are
others will be placing neavy de-
mands on your time.

Federer on verge of passing Sampras


Star out for 6th

Wimbledon,

15th major

Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England
- Roger Federer is build-
ing something of a reputa-
tion as an on-court crier,
and he remembers well the
first time he wept after win-
ning a match.
It was July 2,2001, at Wim-
bledon, the tournament that
means more to him than any
other. Federer was 19, up-


and-coming and making his
Centre Court debut in the
fourth round when he.
stunned Pete Sampras, who
was 29, seeded No. 1 and
seeking an eighth Wimble-
don title.
"I used to cry almost after
every single match I lost as a
junior It's not at all a feeling
like it's the end of the world
- of course not, because
tennis is not everything -
but some people can control
it, some people can't," Fed-
erer said. "Crying after a vic-
tory is something that
started when I beat Pete."
Back then, Federer had
yet to reach the semifinals,
let alone win a title, at any


Grand Slam event. Eight
years later, as Wimbledon
begins Monday with a roof
over Centre Court for the
first time, Federer arrives at
the All England Club bid-
ding to break Sampras' ca-
reer record of 14 major
championships.
And the complexion of
Federer's pursuit of a sixth
Wimbledon title changed
significantly Friday: He
doesn't have to worry about
dealing with his nemesis,
defending champion Rafael
Nadal, who withdrew from
the tournament because of
bad knees.


On the verge of history
Roger Federer can break Pete Sampras career record for Grand Slam
singles titles if he wins Wimbledon. He tied his record earlier this month
when he won the French Open. A

Record scores abound


Barnes' 8-under is

best 36 holes ever

at US Open

Associated Press


FARMINGDALE, N.Y. - Ricky
Barnes had the best day of anyone
at Bethpage Black
He only had to play nine holes.
He knocked in a 45-foot birdie putt
that put him in the record books
with the lowest 36-hole score in
U.S. Open history. He had a one-
shot lead going into the. third
round. And he still hasn't hit a shot
in the rain.
Right when the water-logged
U.S. Open began to gain traction, a
burst of showers halted the third
round Saturday about a half-hour
before Barnes and Lucas Glover,
who was one shot behind, were to
tee off.
It didn't take long for the satu-
rated greens to be submerged, and
'the squeegees were simply no
match. The 60 players who made
the cut, including defending
champion Tiger Woods a whop-
ping 11 shots off the lead, were to
return at 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
The U.S. Open hasn't dealt with
!weather like this in 25 years.
Even more unusual were the
red numbers under par - not to
'mention the names next to them
on the leaderboard.
Not many could have imagined
the U.S. Open's 36-hole scoring
record being set at Bethpage
Black, a beast of a course. Even
fewer could have predicted it
would belong to Barnes, who took
six years to reach the PGA Tour
and has yet to crack the top 40 this
year.
He knocked in the long birdie
putt on his 17th hole - the par-3
eighth - and shot a 65 in the rain-
delayed second round Saturday
morning that put him at 8-under
132. That broke the previous mark
by one shot
"Obviously, at the beginning of
the week, you didn't think that
score was out there," Barnes said.
It sure wasn't for Woods, whose
bid to get back into contention was
stalled by too many bogeys. Woods
had to settle for a 69, leaving him
11 shots out of the lead.
The scoring was so easy that
Glover had a 20-foot birdie putt on

Coach replaces

Floyd as Trojans'

basketball coach

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Kevin
O'Neill returned to the col-
lege ranks Saturday when
he was announced as.South-
ern California's basketball
coach, taking over from Tim
Floyd.
The school announced
O'Neill's hiring in an e-mail.
Floyd suddenly resigned
June 9 amid allegations that
he paid to have O.J. Mayo de-
livered to the Trojans. He
said he was quitting after
four seasons because he no
longer .had
enthusiasm
for his job.
O'Neill is
scheduled
to be intro-

day at a statement. "I

thrilled toe
have Kevin O'Neill as our
men's basketball coach,"
athletic director Mike Gar-
rett said in a statement. "I
love his coacmpionshilosophy
and principles: he's a no-
nonsense coach who is very
detail-oriented and pre-
parett as teams well. He
stresses defense and I've al-
ways believed that defense
wins championships."
O'Neill's NBA tenure
seemingly appealed to Gar-
rett as well.
"His 30 years of experi-
ence at the college and pro-
fessional levels has
prepared him well for this
opportunity," Garrett said.
The 52-year-old defense-
oriented coach was an assis-
tant with the NBA's
Memphis Grizzlies this past
season. Mayo plays for the
Grizzlies. O'Neill led the
Toronto Raptors to- a 33-49
record in 2004.
O'Neill also had stints
with the New York Knicks,
Detroit and Indiana.
He returns to the Pac-10
after serving as interim
coach at Arizona in 2008
when Lute Olson took a
leave of absence.


Pena's homer pushes Rays past Mets, 3-1

Tampa Bay Rays' Carlos Pena hits a solo home run in the sev-
enth Inning Saturday to put the Rays ahead 2-1 against the
New York Mets at CIti Field In New York. The Rays won 3-1.


Shields outduel

N. Ys Santana

Associated Press.
NEW YORK - Carlos
Pena hit a tiebreaking
homer off Johan Santana in
the seventh inning Saturday,
sending James Shields and
the Tampa Bay Rays to a
rainy 3-1 victory over the
New York Mets.
Shields allowed three hits


in seven innings and retired
his final 14 batters. He out-
pitched Santana, who was
back in fine form following
the worst start of his career.
Both starters were lifted
after a 73-minute rain delay
in the top of the eighth. Dan
Wheeler worked a perfect
inning and J.P Howell got
three outs for his fourth save.
Ben Zobrist added a solo
homer in the ninth, his 15th
in a breakout season for the
AL champions.
Santana was tagged for
nine runs and nine hits in


three-plus innings Sunday,
losing 15-0 in the Subway
Series finale at Yankee
Stadium.
The sluggish perform-
ance and diminished veloc-
ity on his fastball raised
questions about Santana's
health, though he insisted
he felt fine. After adjusting
his mechanics and grip dur-
ing a recent side session,
the ace left-hander looked
more likeshimself Saturday
against the top-scoring team
in the majors.
Santana (8-5) squandered

Woods needs U.S. Open miracle


There are things that even
the great Tiger Woods can't
control.
Rain, for one, but he's not alone.
Had the USGA known what a mess
the heavens would make of this
U.S. Open, it would have taken the
millions it put into
Bethpage Black and
used it to build a
course somewhere in
the Mojave desert.
Then again, had the
USGA known that put-
ting Woods in the open-
ing pairings Thursday
morning would have
caused such havoc on
the leaderboard, it AP Col
surely would have TI
moved him to the after- DAHL
noon where he would
have the proper condi-
tions to defend his title. As great as
he may be, even Woods isn't nearly
that interesting when he's 11 shots
out of the lead and everyone from
Phil Mickelson to Rocco Mediate is
bunched somewhere in between.
That doesn't mean NBC won't
find a way to show him every five
minutes Sunday as the Open


du

LE


marathon hopefully draws to a
close. Who knows, Woods may
even get more airtime than Al
Roker, who made his way up to
Bethpage on Saturday to drone on
incessantly about weather but was
mysteriously missing by the time
rain finally came.
What it does mean is
that Woods won't be jet-
ting home with any new
hardware from this
Open. He's too far back,
there are too many peo-,
ple in front of him, and,
as great as he is, he's
never come from be-
hind on Sunday to win a
umnist major championship.
M Bethpage is also play-
BERG ing way too easy so,
even if the remaining
field wanted to collapse
at the sound of Woods' gallery,
they would have to find some new
and imaginative ways to do so.
This, of course, was supposed to
be the week Woods made a tri-
umphant return to the site of his
2002 Open win and edged closer to
Jack Nicklaus with his 15th major
championship. With his knee fi-


nally healed and his drives finally
finding the fairways, there
seemed little the other 155 players
could do but watch in awe.
Nicklaus himself predicted it
would happen after Woods made
birdies on the final two holes two
weeks ago to win the Memorial.
"If he drives the ball this way,
and plays this way, I'm sure it
will," Nicklaus said. "And if not, it
will surprise me greatly."
Nicklaus isn't the only one sur-
prised. Woods arrived here Mon-
day in full swagger, confident in
his swing and eager to add to a col-
lection of major trophies second
only to the 18 won by Nicklaus.
Oddsmakers made him a pro-
hibitive favorite. His fellow play-
ers fell all over themselves
deferring to his greatness.
Then the rain came, and every-
thing changed. Woods was out of
this U.S. Open almost before he,
had a chance to get in.
Blame the pairings and the
weather for some of that. There
hasn't been a major championship
in recent memory where one
group of players got such an ad-,
vantage over another.


But Woods didn't himself any fa-
vors, either He was plugging along
OK in the rain and mud of the first
round before collapsing with two
bogeys and a double bogey over
the last four holes.
"Yesterday was the day that did
it," Woods said after finishing 36
holes at 3-over, then making one
final par to start his third round
before play was finally called be-
cause of rain Saturday. "Espe-
cially on my half of the draw. I had
to finish at even par, 1-over-par at
the worse. That would have been a
really good score."
Playing partner Padraig Harring-
ton said Woods was hitting the ball
better than he was when they
played together earlier this year at
Bay Hill, and his distance control
was as superb as ever. But the short
game was missing in, action on
greens slowed by heavy downpours.
"The worst part of his last two
days was his chipping and putting,
which is always his strength," Har-
rington said.
Woods didn't seem terribly dis-
tressed by it all, which by itself is
unusual for him in a major cham-
pionship. Maybe he just figures


that history will record this Open:
as one the weather gods simply re-
fused to let him have.
Barring some miracle, he'll
leave New York still stuck at 14
major titles and be without a.
major in his possession for the
first time in four years. He's still
relatively young at 33, but each
year that goes by without winning
one of the big four will make it
more difficult for him to accom-
plish the ultimate goal of his re-
markable career, which is to win,
more majors than Nicklaus.
Woods said earlier this week
that Nicklaus was still the greatest.
player of all time for that reason-
alone.
"He's got 18," Woods said. "I'm
at 14."
That's the way Woods keeps,,
score. And that's why, for him, this
Open will almost certainly be tal-
lied up as a big fat zero.

IRL's Helio


grabs Iowa


250 pole

Associated Press

NEWTON, Iowa - With an
assist from Will Power and
some water that had seeped
onto the track, Helio Castron-
eves was awarded the pole for
Sunday's Iowa Corn Indy 250.
Qualifying was first delayed
and then canceled, so the Iowa
250 field will be stacked based
on entrant points.
Ryan Briscoe, also from
Team Penske, will start sec-
ond. Target Chip Ganassi
teammates Scott Dixon and
Dario Franchitti will start
third and fourth followed by
Danica Patrick
Though it hadn't rained on
Saturday prior to qualifying,
heavy thunderstorms swept
through central Iowa on Fri-
day. Qualifying was held up
for about 75 minutes as offi-
cials worked to clear water on
the backstretch. The session
eventually got underway, but
only three drivers; Scott
Dixon, E.J. Viso and Hideki
Mutoh were able to run before
it was called off.
It was the second straight
Iowa 250 qualifying run
washed out because of rain.
Castroneves got the nod in
part because of the 28 points
earned by Power for the No. 3
car in the season opener in St.
Petersburg, and Castroneves
brought Power with him to ac-
cept the pole winner's trophy
"It's a shame, because obvi-
ously you want to put on a
great show for the fans," Cas-
troneves said. "But no ques-
tion, it turned out to. be the
luck of the draw for me."
There doesn't appear to be a
front-runner for Sunday's race
on Iowa's 7-8-mile oval, but.
that's been the case all season.
No driver has held the points
lead for more than one race,
and even though Briscoe is
currently atop the points
standings, only 32 points sepa-
rate him from Patrick in fifth.
"The good thing is,' we're up
there in the points and get the
front row start, so hopefully
that's going to help us tomor-
row," Briscoe said.
The driver to watch might be
Castroneves, who has won two
of the last three IRL races and
took the Indianapolis 500 after
also starting out from the pole.


Civil Rights still need work

Clinton: Pushfor

racial equity in

sports farfrom over

Associated Press

CINCINNATI - The push for
racial equality is far from over, in
sports and in everyday, life, for-
mer President Bill Clinton told a
crowd at Major League Baseball's
Beacon Awards on Saturday, part
of its Civil Rights Game.
Clinton, who as president took
part in MLB's ceremony retiring
Jackie Robinson's No. 42 uniform
number in 1997, spoke at a lunch-
eon honoring Hall of Famer Hank


Aaron, Muhammad Ali and enter-
tainer Bill Cosby for the trio's con-
tributions to civil rights and
charitable works.
The former president told a
crowd of about 1,400 at the Duke
Energy Convention Center that
despite such racial progress as
the election of Barack Obama as
president, problems remain that
disproportionately hit minorities.
Clinton cited unemployment, the
mortgage crisis, high cost of col-
lege, and access to health care
among continuing issues.
'"A lotof people might be tempted
to believe that the struggle - which
both produced these three giants of
sports and comedy and gave them
the power to help so many others -
that struggle for racial equality is
over," Clinton said.


"But I really came here to say if
you want to honor HankAaron and
Muhammad Ali and Bill Cosby, you
must first recognize that this strug-
gle is nowhere near over," he said.
The luncheon was among
events leading to Saturday night's
first regular-season Civil Rights
Game, between the Chicago.
White Sox and Cincinnati Reds.
Ali, whose long battle with
Parkinson's disease has limited his
physical activity, remained seated
as fellow former boxing champion
Sugar Ray Leonard presented him
his award. Ali looked it over as his
wife, Lonnie, spoke on his behalf.
Cosby had the crowd roaring
during his acceptance speech,
and urged the audience to make
sure new generations know what
Ali, Aaron and others had to over-


come to be successful, and that
there is more to be overcome.
"This is not a time to rest,".
Cosby said.
Aaron, Ali and Cosby were;^
driven onto the field on carts be-.
fore the Reds played the Chicagod
White Sox in the Civil Rights?
Game, which was held in Memphis,
Tenn., the last two years. This was,
the first time it was held in con-
junction with a major league game.
Teams wore throwback jerseys
.from 1964, the .year that the Civi*"
Rights Act was passed outlawing.
racial segregation. Hall of Famer-
Frank Robinson, who became a',
star in Cincinnati before being
traded to Baltimore after the.,

Chagaev in front

of61,000 fans

Associated Press

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany
- Wladimir Klitschko again.
proved his dominance of the
heavyweight division, stopping
Ruslan Chagaev in a hastily put to-
gether title fight Saturday night
before 61,000 fans at a German
soccer stadium.
The IBF and WBO champion
added the Ring Magazine belt to
his haul, knocking Chagaev down
in the second round and opening a
cut over the Uzbekistan-born


fighter's left eye in the eighth.
Referee Eddie Cotton stopped
the fight before the 10th round.
"You can't underestimate Cha-
gaev," said Klitschko, who stands
with his brother Vitali as clearly
the best in the division. "He did
everything today, but I was better."
Chagaev, who is the WBA's
"champion in recess,", raised a
deep bruise under Klitschko's right
eye, but was done in by the Ukrain-
ian's height advantage and supe-
rior power With his strong left jab
and hard straight rights, Klitschko
(53-3, 47 KOs) bloodied Chagaev
and never appeared in d~er
The sellout crowd Ws the
biggest boxing audience'ln Ger-
many since Max Schmeling
knocked out Adolf Heuser in front
of 70,000 people in Stuttgart in 1939.
"Throughout the fight, I


searched for the keys to unlock a'
win, but I just couldn't find them,".'
said Chagaev, whose win over Carl
Davis Drummond in February,
was stopped by a similar cut above;
his left eye.
The matchup at the Schalke,
soccer club's Veltins Arena was,
originally billed as a showdown
between Klitschko and former,.
cruiserweight champ David Haye,:
and the two had gone on a world-
wide press tour in which the out--
spoken Haye flaunted T-shirts'
showing him standing in the ring"
with the decapitated heads of the
Klitschko brothers.
But the British fighter, whose
only victory since moving toW
heavyweight was a knockout of'
Monte Barrett in November,
pulled out earlier this month cit-,
ing a back injury.

Boston Red Sox's Josh Beckett pitches against the Atlanta
Braves in the first inning Saturday in Boston. Beckett twiued a
shutout against the Braves as the Red Sox won 3-0.


Red Sox 3, Braves 0
BOSTON - Josh Beckett allowed
just five singles for his first shutout
since joining the Red Sox, and Jason
Varitek doubled twice and scored
twice to lead Boston to a 3-0 victory
over the Atlahta Braves on Saturday
night.
Beckett (8-4) rebounded from giving
up a season-high 11 hits in his last out-
ing for his first complete game of the
year. He struck out seven, walked none
and only allowed one runner to reach
second base to win for the sixth time in
seven decisions.
Varitek helped Boston spoil the
homecoming of ex-batterymate Derek
Lowe, who spent 71/2 seasons with the
Red Sox and helped them end their
86-year World Series drought.
In his first appearance at Fenway
since the 2004 AL championship se-
ries - and his first-ever game against
the Red Sox - Lowe (7-5) allowed
three runs on seven hits, walking one
and striking out two.
The Braves lost for the seventh time
in 10 games.
Lowe and Beckett were locked in a
scoreless game until the fifth, when
Varitek doubled off center fielder Nate
McLouth's glove and scored on Nick
Green's double. J.D. Drew doubled to
lead off the sixth and scored on Kevin
Youkilis' single to make it 2-0.
Boston scored another in the sev-
enth to chase Lowe, but the Fenway
crowd rose to give him a standing ova-
tion as he walked to the visitor's dugout


and he waved his cap in appreciation.
The lanky right-hander came to the
Red Sox with Varitek in 1997 a lop-
sided trade for heartbreak closer
Heathcliff Slocumb, and together they
became the core of the team that
would lead the franchise to the '04
World Series title. Lowe, who was
bounced from the rotation after strug-
gling down the stretch, earned the vic-
tory in the clinching game in all three
playoff series.
NOTES: 3B Mike Lowell got the day
off and might get another on Sunday
because he's "feeling beat up," Red
Sox manager Terry Francona said....
Beckett threw just 94 pitches.

Cardinals 7, Royals 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Khalil Greene
hit a late three-run homer, Albert Pujols
hit a two-run shot and Chris Carpenter
outpitched Brian Bannister to give the
St. Louis Cardinals a 7-1 win over the
Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
St. Louis opened the three-game
series between the instate rivals Fri-
day night by pounding out 14 hits in
a 10-5 win.,
Pujols was a key factor in the first win
and had even bigger role in this one, hit-
ting his 24th homer off Bannister (5-4) to
put the Cardinals up 3-0 in the sixth in-
ning. Greene sealed it in the ninth, lifting
a shot just over the wall in left
That was more than enough the
way Carpenter (5-1) pitched.
Coming off his first loss of the sea-
son, Carpenter was at his whats-he-
going-throw best, hitting the corners
with a low 90s mph fastball and buck-
ling the Royals' knees with a chin-to-
ankles curveball.
Kansas City hit few hard balls of
him, spending most of the game drib-
bling grounders into foul territory.
Carpenter worked out of a few jams,
most notably in the third inning, when
he got two weak groundouts and a
strikeout to strand Mark Teahen at third
after a leadoff triple. Mitch Maier's two-
out double in the eighth chased Car-
penter, who allowed a run on three hits
and struck out six in 7 2-3 innings.

Tigers 9, Brewers 5
DETROIT - Miguel Cabrera and
Placido Polanco homered and Alfredo
Figaro won his major-league debut as
the Detroit Tigers beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 9-5 on Saturday.
Figaro, who was called up from
Double-A to replace Dontrelle Willis in
the rotation, allowed two runs and eight
hits in five innings.
Dave Bush (3-4) took the loss, falling
to 0-4 in his last six starts. He gave up
five runs on seven hits in three innings.
Milwaukee went ahead 1-0 on Craig
Counsel's second-inning RBI single,
but the Tigers responded with three in
the bottom of the inning on a two-run
single by Josh Anderson and an RBI
triple by Gerald Laird.
Ryan Braun pulled the Brewers
within a run with a leadoff homer in the
third, but Cabrera's two-run shot made
it 5-2 in the bottom of the inning.
The Tigers added two more in the
fifth on Polanco's third homer and Bran-
don Inge's sacrifice fly, and made it 9-2
with another pair of runs in the sixth.
Milwaukee scored twice in the sev-
enth and once in the eighth, but De-
troit's bullpen held on.
Polanco left the game in the eighth
with stiffness in his left leg.

Cubs 6, Indians 5,
13 innings
CHICAGO - Andres Blanco hit a-
tying single and then scored the win-
ning run on Kerry Wood's wild pitch
in the 13th inning Saturday as the
Chicago Cubs staged another wild
comeback and beat the Cleveland
Indians 6-5.
Luis Valbuena hit his second homer
of the game, a solo shot in the top of
the 13th inning, to give the Indians a 5-
4 lead. But once again Wood, the for-
mer Cubs ace who spent a decade in
Chicago, couldn't hold it.
After blowing the save in Friday's 8-
7, 10-inning loss by giving up a ninth-
inning homer to Derrek Lee, Wood
(2-3) gave up a leadoff single Saturday
to Kosuke Fukudome.

Associated Press
Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez follows through on
a single in the first inning against the New York Yankees on
Saturday in Miami. The Marlins downed the Yankees, 2-1.


Marlins 2, Yankees 1
MIAMI - Josh Johnson pitched
seven innings of three-hit ball, Dan
Uggla homered and the Florida Mar-
lins beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on
Saturday night.
Johnson (7-1) struck out five and
walked two, outpitching former Marlins
teammate A.J. Burnett (5-4). The Yan-
kees didn't do much to help their start-
ing pitcher.
Johnny Damon misplayed a ball hit
to left field by Jorge Cantu in the sixth,
allowing Hanley Ramirez to score from
first to give the Marlins a 2-0 lead they
would never lose.
The play was ruled an error, with
Damon slow to read the ball, whiffing
on the catch and letting the ball to
trickle to the wall.
Johnson quieted a Yankees team
that kept a slumping Alex Rodriguez
out of the starting lineup for the sec-
ond straight game because of fa-
tigue. But the three-time AL MVP did
pinch-hit in the eighth, drawing a
walk in his first plate appearance
ever for a regular-season game in
his hometown of Miami.
Matt Lindstrom pitched the ninth for
his 13th save in 15 chances, getting
Robinson Cano to ground into a
game-ending double play.
The Yankees' fans turned out in
scores for the second straight game
with their team's rare visit to Miami.
The Bronx buzz helped fill the stadium
with 46,427 fans, the third-largest
home crowd in Marlins history.
The stadium's orange seats could
barely be seen, replaced with fans in
navy and pinstripes, who chanted and


ranted with every swing. Florida fans
fought back with cow bells that were
handed out at the gate, creating a cir-
cus-like atmosphere rarely seen at
baseball games in Miami.
They even to got cheer one of their
own.
It was Rodriguez's first regular-sea-
son plate appearance in his hometown
of Miami against the Martins. The
crowd stood throughout his at-bat and
gave him nothing but cheers, the cam-
era flashed with every pitch.

however, have dropped dra-
matically. Santana fanned
three against Tampa Bay,
giving him 11 over his last
four starts. He averaged 8.6
strikeouts through his first
10 outings.
Gabe Kapler had an RBI
double for the Rays, who
snapped a three-game slide.
While Santana pitched
well, the Mets reverted back
to their early-season trend
of not supporting him with
much offense. Tampa Bay
pitchers retired 19 in a row
before Carlos Beltran's two-
out single in the ninth. How-
ell struck out David Wright
to end it
Making his 100th major
league start, Shields r6-5)
won for the first time in five
road outings since April 12
at Baltimore. The right-han-
der struck out four and
walked none. The only run
he allowed came on doubles
by Ryan Church and Omir
Santos in the second.
Five of Shields' wins this
season have come after
Rays losses. He has stopped


FEDERER
Continued from Page BI

Nadal's exit was-the talk
of the grounds Saturday, and
Federer called it "very dis-
appointing for the tourna-
ment, and also for myself."
"It's unfortunate. I'm sad
for him, because it must
have been a very difficult
decision to make," Federer
said. "I'd love to play him.
He's my main rival. We've
had some wonderful
matches over the years, and
especially the one here last
year was the one that obvi-
ously stands out."
Ah, yes, lat year, when
Nadal reduced Federer to
tears by winning the longest
singles final in tournament
history, a 4-hour, 48-minute
test of skill and will that
ended 9-7 in the fifth set as
darkness descended.
That 2008 setback ended
Federer's streaks of 40 con-
secutive wins at Wimbledon
and 65 in a row on grass, and
he is ready to start anew.
"The focus is on the first
round - and the first point,"
Federer said. "Trying to re-
gain my Wimbledon crown, I
guess, stands over trying to
beat Pete's record right
now."
There was something apt
about the way Federer tied
Sampras' Grand Slam mark
by completing a career
Grand Slam at the French
Open, a tournament the
American never won and
that the Swiss star came so
close to winning, year after
year, before finally breaking
through this month.
There also would be some-
thing fitting if Federer sur-
passes Sampras at
Wimbledon, a tournament
that means so much to both
men - and where their
paths crossed all those years
ago.
"I don't feel like I have

his final hole to match the
U.S. Open record of 63. He
came up short and had to set-
tle for a share of the course
record, set the day before by
Mike Weir
"I'm a little ashamed I did
leave it short," Glover said.
"But I played well. Probably
as good a round of golf as I've
played."
With no chance the course
can get firm and fast, no
record is safe.
Birdies were dropping
from all corners of the course
- first in the morning by play-
ers completing their second
rounds, and even some in the
afternoon when the players
on the wrong end of the draw
tried hopelessly to catch up.
About the only thing not
falling was the heavy rain pre-
dicted for early afternoon -
but not for long.
Woods and Mickelson, des-
perately trying to catch up,
each scrambled for par on op-
posite sides of the golf course,
when the umbrellas came
down, the rain grew stronger
and play was suspended.
How benign is Bethpage
Black?
There already have been 45
scores in the 60s, compared
with 26 scores for the week in
the 2002 U.S. Open on ithe
same course. Most of them
came from the side of the


a five-game skid and a pair
of three-gamers.
With the score tied 1-all,
Santana grooved a 92 mph
fastball to Pena leading off
the seventh and he got all
of it.
The booming drive
landed about five rows deep
in the right-center bleach-
ers, between the 408 and 415
signs, for Pena's AL-leading
22nd home run.
Zobrist, subbing beauti-
fully for injured second
baseman Akinori Iwamura,
connected off Sean Green in
the ninth.
Rain fell for much of the
day in New York and the fore-
cast indicated heavy showers.
were on the way, but the game
started right on time.
Despite an occasional
drizzle, the first six innings
were played in 1 hour, 32
minutes. The --downpotur
began at 6 p.m., just as ex-
pected.
Umpires called for the
tarp and halted play. after
Michel Hernandez flied out
to start the eighth.
The same storm soon
soaked the golf course at
Bethpage Black on Long Is-
land, where the third
round of the U.S. Open was


extra pressure now having to
win the tournament or trying
to. I mean, anyway, there's a
lot of weight off my shoul-
ders since Paris," Federer
said. "So I'm entering tour-
naments, I guess, a little bit
more relaxed these days."
On the day Federer won at
Roland Garros, Sampras
said he expected Federer to
get No. 15 "in the next cou-
ple of weeks." Asked
whether he would travel to
the All England Club this
year, Sampras replied: "We'll
sort of see what happens."
Many current players fig-
ure Federer is set to re-es-
tablish his supremacy at
Wimbledon. As 2002 cham-
pion Lleyton Hewitt put it:
"Roger's going to be the one
to beat"
The same must be said of
the Williams sisters, particu-
larly Venus. As has been the
case with Federer in recent
years, Wimbledon is their
turf.
Venus has played in seven
finals at the All England
Club, winning five champi-
onships, including the past
two. Serena has played in
four finals, winning two.
Pay no heed to the rank-
ings, which have both sisters
behind No. 1 Dinara Safina.
Here are the numbers that
really matter: Serena has

For Federer, there
other laurels at stake thl
fortnight: He could matqh
Nadal's feat from 2008"oT
winning the French Open
and Wimbledon in the sae
season - that hadn't bin
done since Bjorn Borg. i'.
1980.
Plus, Federer can reclaJim
the No. 1 ranking, althoVgh
he said that doesn't concern
him.
Right now, he is focusing
on adding to his haul' of
major championships. JH,e
bawled during the post-
match ceremonies after pnr
other five-set setback agaip~t
* Nadal at the Australia
Open this year, then shed
tears of joy when he won.-,
French Open.
Now comes Wimbledon.
"I do think I'm the favorite,
actually, with the success 1%e
had and how close I ca*fe
again last year," said F;-
erelr whose wife is due to
give birth to their first child
this summer. "Without a�ly
disrespect to any of the other
players - because I think
this year's field is going to be
very difficult to topple." -
Those words were spo en
before Nadal became only
the second Wimbledon
men's champion in 35 yea's
to decide not to defend his
title.
Federer said the rivals
chatted briefly Wednesday,
and Nadal congratulated
him for winning the French
Open.
"I asked him how his ko e
was. He was, like, 'It's 01
So I kind of knew it wa�rYt
great, because he's very hL-
est to me," Federer said. 'J"
I knew something could 'be
coming up." .
Federer had other menidh
mind, too, such as Andy Mur-
ray, the 22-year-old from
Scotland who gives ld4l
fans a real chance for the
first British male champtf6
at the All England Club sirine
Fred Perry in 1936. ".J-


Weir followed his 64 witi a
70 and was two shots beh*d.
David Duval rallied froi. a
sluggish start for a 70 that put
him in the group at 3-under
137.
Woods appeared poised to
climb quickly, but for every
birdie he made to build some
momentum, a bogey stopped
him. Woods hit 10 fairways
and only missed four greens,
but took 30 putts. /
"Unfortunately, my score
doesn't reflect how I've beeii
playing," he said. "It is whatit
is. But you never know. I'vegot
36 more holes over the next
probably three days." ,
He was joking- maybe .
The forecast, which can go
longer be trusted at the T;,.
Open, was for a chance ofrain
the next two days. Finishing
the second round, however, at
least gave the tournameabt
chance to finish on schedule
with a marathon Sunday. That
would mean 36 holes for a
dozen players, including
leaders.
It also helped that onlylhe
minimum 60 players mide
the cut at 4-over 144. Among
those headed home - and
some were thankful to getbot
of this quagmire - were dan-
ble major winner Padrqig
.Harrington, Ernie Els �ad
Paul Casey
Woods at least has hope.
"It's just one of those things
where ifI keep plugging along
like any U.S. Open ... we'll see
where it ends up," said
Woods.

Mornaday gets fantastic birthday present


pr iver turns 51;

:,"wins trucks race

Associated Press

WEST ALLIS, Wis. -After Ron
Hornaday Jr. celebrated his 51st
-birthday by winning Saturday's
:NASCAR Camping World Truck
series race at the Milwaukee Mile,
'hes opted not to do a victory
burnout Tire-smoking. celebra-
tions have become commonplace
idi recent years, but now they're a
luxury his team just can't afford.
"Welcome to life in NASCAR
*ifter General Motors cutbacks.

b6rnaday said.
111'),


Burnouts might be a fun way to
show off for the crowd, but dump-
ing the clutch and letting the
wheels spin wildly also is a good
way to, damage a driveshaft
And now that GM has cut back
funding to its NASCAR teams
across the board, including the
Chevrolet team Hornaday drives
for, any potential cost-saving meas-
ure has to be looked at- even the
way drivers celebrate wins.
Hornaday said his team owner,
Sprint Cup series star Kevin Har-
vick and his wife, DeLana, are
doing everything they can to keep
the team competitive in the wake
of GM's budget cuts.
"I think Kevin and DeLana
were ready for this, and we're all
buckling down," Hornaday said.
And Hornaday said Saturday's


win was a good way for Chevrolet
to show its strength.
"Buy a Chevrolet," crew chief
Rick Ren said before leaving a
post-race interview session.
Hornaday led 180 of 200 laps in
a race that originally was sched-
uled for Friday night but was
postponed until Saturday be-
cause of rain.
The win also allowed Hornaday
to take the series points lead from
Matt Crafton, who finished 16th.
Hornaday leaves Milwaukee with
a 36-point lead over Crafton in the
standings - not that he thinks it
matters in midseason.
Dennis Setzer finished second,
also in a Chevrolet, followed by
Brian Scott in a Toyota. Scott
drove Saturday's race with a cast
on his right wrist after breaking a


bone in a crash at Michigan last
weekend.
It was the 41st career trucks se-
ries victory and second win of the
season for Hornaday - and his
second career victory in a trucks
race at Milwaukee, where he also
won in 1997.
Hornaday led comfortably for
most of the race before a late cau-
tion flag bunched up the field for a
restart with eight laps to go. But
Hornaday squirted away from Set-
zer when the green flag dropped,
and he wasn't challenged for the
lead the rest of the way.
It's not the first checkered flag-
themed birthday celebration for
Hornaday, who also won a trucks
series race on his birthday at Bris-
tol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway in
1998. And Hornaday's big day is


just getting started this year; he
also is scheduled to race in the
Nationwide Series at Milwaukee
on Saturday night.
I Todd Bodine finished fourth
and James Buescher was fifth.
One of Hornaday's strongest
challengers, Mike Skinner, was
making a green-flag pit stop
when Aric Almirola spun on lap
127 to bring out a yellow flag. It
was a tough break for Skinner, as
the rest of the leaders were able
to make their pit stops under
caution.
Skinner eventually lost two laps
to the leaders and finished 19th.
Saturday's race was run without
reigning series champion Johnny
Benson, who won the previous
three trucks races at the Milwau-
kee Mile.

"They were chomping at the bit

Kobe to


stay; Phil


not sure


Bryant says he

plans to return

to Lakers

Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -
Kobe Bryant said he plans to
stay with the NBA champion
Los Angeles Lakers and won't
opt out of his contract this
summer. Phil Jackson said his
health will dictate whether he
returns as coach.
Bryant met with Jackson
and general manager Mitch
Kupchak for an individual exit
interview Friday.
The finals MVP can termi-
nate the last two years of his
contract and become an unre-
stricted free agent on July 1.
He's spent his entire 13-year
career with the Lakers, win-
ning four NBA championships.
Asked by reporters if. he
would opt out, Bryant said,
"I've been deflecting that all-
year and I ain't going to stop
now."
Pressed to explain n, he. re-
sponded, "I'm not going any-
where. I know I ain't going
nowhere, so it's just a waste
of our breaths just talking
about it."
Bryant turns 31 in August
He averaged 32.4 points, 7.4 as-
sists and 5.6 rebounds during
the finals, when the Lakers de-
feated the Orlando Magic in
five games.
Kupchak met with reporters
before Bryant did and said,
"We have no indication of what
he may or may not do."
Jackson, who turns 64 in
September, said he'll decide
about next season after he
gets some health issues
checked out.
This season, he missed two
West Coast road games be-
cause of pain and swelling in
his lower legs caused by plan-
tar fasciitis, an issue "that con-
cerned me a little bit," he said.
He blamed late-night flights
that aggravated the condition.
He has undergone two hip
replacement operations since
October 2006 -using a cane at
various times - and walks
with a noticeable hitch in his
step.

single
"Want."
Adam John

2008 before Lambert's
rise on the popular Fox

"We were presented
with a business opportu-
nity," said Hecker "We
accepted because
Wilshire Records had a
long working relationship
with Adam, and it re-
sulted in excellent music
that they had the rights
to. The music has an au-
dience, and it deserves to
be heard. I think it's great
music. At the end of the
day, from my perspective,
we're really helping
Adam."
He described "On with
the Show" as a "complete

clude mid- and up-tempo.
songs, ballads and rock
tunes.
Lambert inked a record

Acropolis museum opens

Associated Press
Officials and guests view exhibits Saturday as they visit the new Acropolis museum during the opening ceremony
In Athens.

Antiquities showcase opens its doors after years of delay
Associa d Press


ATHENS, Greece - The golden
age of ancient Athens came to life
Saturday as Greece opened its new
Acropolis Museum with a lavish
party, bolstering its long campaign
for the return 'of 2,500-year-old
sculptures striped from the
citadel more than two centuries
ago.
Years of delays and often vocif-
erous criticism about the mu-
seum's hulking design and location
in the capital's 1od district came to
an end with a nearly $4.1 million
opening ceremony to be attended
by foreign heads of state and gov-
ernment - though conspicuously
not from Britain, where the sculp-
tures currently reside.
The reinbo reed concrete and
glass structure sits near the foot of
the ancient citadel like a skewed
stack of glass boxes. With UV coat-
ing on its walls of windows,,air fil-
ters and clirnate control, the $180
million museum is'Gree&e's aft-
swer to the argument that it had
nowhere to safely house the frieze
pried off the Parthenon in the 19th
century by British diplomat Lord
Elgin and currently displayed in
London's British'Mutseum.
'"This new state ofthe art Acropo-
lis Museum now demolishes that ex-
cuse," said Culture MinisterAntonis
Samaras, who on Friday described
the sculptures widely known as the
Parthenon, or Elgin. Marbles, as
being in "enforced exile."
Greece sees the return of 'the
sculptures -- part of a stunning
525-foot marble frieze mainly of a
religious procession that adorned
the top of the ancient citadel's"
grandest structure;, the Parthenon
- as an issue of national pride.
The Parthenon was built at the
height of Athens' glory between
447-432 B.C. in honor of the city's
patron goddess, Athena. Despite its
conversion into a Christian church,
and Ottoman occupation from the
15th century, it survived virtually
intact until a Veietian cannon shot
caused a massive explosion in
1687. Elgin removed about half the
surviving sculptures in the early
1800s, when Greece was an unwill-
ing part of the Ottoman Empire.
"On this momentous day, at this
historic site, we appeal to everyone
around the w6rld who believes in the
values and.ideas that emerged on the
slopes or the Acropolis, to join our
quest to bring the missing Parthenon


Associated Press
Journalists walk amongst statues Friday during a tour of the new Acropolis
museum in Athens. Greece opened its long-anticipated new Acropolis Mu-
seum Saturday, boosting its decades-old campaign for the return of 2,500-
year-old sculptures removed from the ancient citadel by a 19th-century
British diplomat. After years of delays and legal wrangling, the museum
opens its doors to the public on Sunday at a nominal $1.40 charge, the
price of a public bus ticket.


marbles home," Samaras said.
The British Museum has repeat-
edly rejected calls foritheir return.
It says it legally owns the collection
it bought from Elgin, who sold it to
stave off bankruptcy, and that it "is
displayed free of charge in an in-
ternational cultural context.
"I think they belong to all of us.
We are all global citizens these
days," said British Museum
spokeswoman Hannah Boulton.
But on the top floor of the new
Acropolis Museum, Greece's
counter-argument-that the sculp-
tures were looted from a work of art
. so important that the surviving
pieces should all be exhibited to-
gether- is displayed in stark relief.
The glass hall with a 360-degree
panoramic view onto central
Athens and the Parthenon itself
displays the section of the frieze
that Elgin left behind, joined to
plaster casts of the works held in
London.
The soft brownish patina of the
original marble contrasts starkly
with the bright white of the plaster
casts sent by the British Museum in
1845: battle scenes are cut jaggedly
in half, with the torso and heads of
warriors and horses in London and
the legs in Athens. The attempt to
shock is deliberate.
"Until the missing marbles are
back, all people. Greeks and non-
Greeks alike, who visit this mu-


seum will feel great pride and
great anguish when they walk up to
the Parthenon Gallery and see the
inspiring sculptures from the tem-
ple interspersed with the replicas
of the pieces in the British Mu-
seum," Samaras said.
"It is like looking at a family pic-
tute and seeing images of loved
ones far away or lost to us."
But the museum is not only
about the Parthenon Marbles. -
With about 150,000 square feet of
exhibition space, it holds more
than 4,000 ancient works, many of
them never displayed before due to
lack of space in the cramped old
museum which sat atop the Acrop-
olis hill.
Now, visitors can walk among
statues and friezes with surviving
traces of paint; view fragments of
sculptures and coins still bearing
scorch marks from the Persians'
sacking of the city in 480 B.C.; gaze
through three stories of glass floors
from the top of the museum
straight into the foundations,
where construction revealed an
entire underlying neighborhood of
ancient and early Christian
Athens.
The museum opens to the public
on Sunday. Entry is at a nominal
charge of $1.40 until the end of the
year. The first four days are already
completely sold out through Inter-
net sales.


ABC: T.R. Knight leaving 'Grey's Anatomy'


Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - A med-
ical mystery was solved Fri-
day: T.R. Knight won't be
back on -'Grey's Anatomy."
"Leaving "Gre3's Anatomy'
was not an easy decision for
me to make. I am extremely
grateful to have had the op-
portunity to play this iarac-


ter and will miss my fellow
-cast and crew very much,"
Knight said in a statement
He also thanked fans for
their support, but conspicu-
ously didn't mention series
creator and executive pro-
ducer Shonda Rhimes.
Knight, who played Dr.
George O'Malley, had seen
his role diminished this sea-


son and asked to be let out
of a contract that still had
three years to go. In the sea-
son finale, his character had
been injured - fatally, it ap-
peared - as he saved a
woman from a bus collision.
In a statement from ABC
announcing Knight's much-
rumored departure, Rhimes
wished Knight "the best in


his future endeavors" on be-
half of the show's "family"
"He is an incredibly tal-
ented actor and a person
whose strength of character
is admired by all of us,"
Rhimes said.
Knight, who has a theater
background, is said to be
weighing the stage as well as
films for his post-"Grey's" life.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Hey
kids, don't try this at home.
Professional skate-
boarder Tony Hawk on Fri-
day took a brief ride at the
White House as part of a Fa-
ther's Day celebration.


Hawk, 44 skated in the
grand foyer and the nearby
Old Executive Office Build-

pears to be a hallway
"...and here is my exit," he
wrote in a message on Twitter,
which linked to a picture of him
skating "Supposed to return at
noon forthe First Fathers event
if they let me back in."


Hawk posted other in-
sights on his Twitter page,
telling fans about eating
Frosted Flakes cereal inside
the gates of 1600 Pennsylva-
nia Ave. In another tweet, he
says "back at White House,
Tweeting live from the Diplo-
matic Room. Unbelievable."

Hidden homelessness

OUT THE
WINDOW

Study reveals large number of 'hidden homeless' in rural America

Associated Press H .... W�s ? I ,h


I BRUNSWICK, Maine - The old, run-down
trailer in the backcountry near Norridgewock
wasn't much to look at, but it was home.
That was before the landlord died, setting in
motion events that left Michelle DeStoop,
.Bobby Landry and their six children without
a place of their own.
After losing their home, they sold their car to
a junkyard when they couldn't afford to have it
repaired. Without a car, they couldn't get around.
Low n money, they lost their meager possePs
sons when they couldn't pay the bill for storage.
Homelessness often means life in soup lines
and on city streets, but as a new study com-
missioned by the state shows, it isn't confined
to cities. It also can be found across rural
areas, so concealed that some people are sui^
prised it exists at all, the study finds.
"It's the hidden homeless," said Melany
Mondello of the Shalom House mental health
housing organization, who headed the study
and a resulting 32-page report called "Cost of
Rural Homelessness."
The study, commissioned by the Maine State
Housing Authority, is believed to be the first
study in the nation to provide a look at the costs
of rural homelessness in a state. It concludes
that providing "permanent supportive housing"
- subsidized housing in combination with men-
tal health, employment and other support serv-
ices - for homeless people is less costly than
serving them while they're without a home.
Moreover, the report sheds light on a seg-
ment of society that is often overlooked.
Many of the rural homeless stay at shelters
- just like their urban counterparts - but
some counties don't even have shelters, forc-
ing the homeless to live in encampments,
abandoned buildings, barns or cars. Many
move from place to place, sleeping on a
friend's or relative's couch or floor until they
move on to the next person willing to take
them in for a while.
All told, 1,200 people sought help at Maine's
rural shelters last year, but the number of rural
homeless is thought to be much higher. Of
those who were looked at for the study, 97 per,
cent had mental illness, 18 percent were alco-
hol abusers and 16 percent were drug abusers.
Eleven percent were veterans.
DeStoop, 30, and Landry, 44, lived a simple
life in the two-bedroom trailer they rented
along Route 139 in Norridgewock, a town of
3,300 in central Maine. She worked in a dining
hall at Colby College in Waterville; Landry,
who is disabled and can't read or write, tended
to things at home.
They lived next door to her mother's trailer
and adjacent to an old roller skating rink that
had been converted to a flea market A farm
down the road sold fresh produce in the sum-
mer months.
But when the trailer owner died, his heirs
evicted them, removed the trailers and sold
the property. At first, DeStoop and her family
shared a house with her mother in Waterville.
But after her mother moved out, it wasn't long
before they followed - not able to pay the
rent, heat and electricity on their own.
They bounced between her mother's and
her grandfather's small apartments. But rela-
tionships can become strained when so many
people live in such cramped quarters, so the
family moved to Brunswick - where they
eventually sought refuge at the Tedford Hous-
ing family shelter and have lived there for
eight months now. Moving an hour away meant
DeStoop had to quit her job at the college.
Besides losing their home, their car and
their possessions, DeStoop and Landry had
three of their six children - ages 10, 8 and 6 -
taken by the state and put into a foster home,
she said. The other kids - ages 4, 5 and 8 -

Brunswick, Maine.


live with them at the shelter.
Last winter, Landry had to leave the shelter
and spend more than three months on the
streets because of a state investigation into
their children's welfare. When he couldn't
hook up with friends, he slept behind trash
bins and in a gazebo on the town common, with
a blanket to keep him warm.
He hit bottom in April when - in despair
over his situation - he slashed his arm re-
peatedly with a razor blade to take his own life.
He was hospitalized overnight, and by coin-
cidence was cleared by state investigators the
very next day, setting the stage for his move
back to the shelter, said Landry, the slash
marks clearly visible on his arm.
"It's depressing. Very depressing," Michelle
said. She later added: "You just keep your
head up and keep on trying."
For the "Cost of Rural Homelessness" study,
researchers looked at 163 people in all parts of
Maine except Portland, the state's largest city,
who were homeless and now live in permanent
supportive housing. The study examined the
costs of mental health care, physical health care,
shelters, hospitals, jails and ambulance services
while they were homeless and compared them
to those same costs after they had housing.
The study found that the additional cost of
the housing was more than offset by lower
costs for the other services, said Nancy Fritz,
Director of Homeless Initiatives at the Hous-
ing Authority.
For instance, people with the housing saw a
99 percent reduction in shelter costs, a 57 per-
cent reduction in mental health care costs, a
32 percent reduction in ambulance service
costs and a 95 percent reduction in jail costs.
Physical health care costs rose by 9 percent,
perhaps because people had easier access to
doctors when they had housing.
Without housing, the average six-month cost to
support the homeless was $18,629, according to
the study; with the housing, the cost was $17,281,
for an average savings of $1,348 per person.
"Yet there's a myth out there that when a
person is homeless, it's not really costing us
money. In fact, homelessness costs all of us
money," Fritz said.
Even in Maine, a largely rural state with a
population of 1.3 million people, the number
of rural homeless are far outnumbered by the
number of homeless in cities.
Nationally, there are about 675,000 homeless
people on any given night Of that figure, an es-
timated 9 percent - or just over 60,000 people
- live in rural areas, said Nan Roman, presi-
dent of the National Alliance to End Home-


lessness. The Maine study will be presented at
the Washington-based ,organization's annual
conference this summer.'.
Rural homelessness presents challenges be-
cause there is less transitional housing, fewer
employment programs, fewer social service
agencies, fewer health care programs and the
like than in cities, Roman said. At the same
time, though, finding solutions for homeless
people can be easier iin rural areas, in part be-
cause the numbers ar ten't so overwhelming,
she said.
"Take the extreme, say Los Angeles, that has
a city's worth of homeless people, 60,000 or
70,000 homeless peopled:It's difficult to think
what you might do about that," she said.
"Whereas rural communities... may have 10 or
12 homeless people."
Rhonda Fisher was once part of that hidden
homelessness. ..
Following a late-night fight fueled by drink-
ing three years ago, Fisher's boyfriend booted
her out of the home they shared in the small
central Maine town of Fairfield. She ended up
at the homeless shelter in Waterville, where
she and four other women shared a bedroom.
Fisher, who is 42, had already been through
hard times: She dropped out of school at 15.
She's had six children, giving up three to adop-
tion. She's been married four times. She takes
medication for bipolar disorder and anxiety.
Still, she couldn't believe she was homeless
- again.
Years ago, she and her husband found them-
selves homeless in Durham, N.C. Their money
ran out not long after moving there from Maine in
search of new surroundings and opportunities.
The Durham shelter had more than 100 peo-
ple in it, she said, with 40 or more women
packed into a single sleeping room. The shel-
ter would lock the residents down at, night It
was dirty. During the day, she had to walk the
city streets until the shelter reopened. "It was
almost like a jail," she said.
For two years now, Fisher has lived in a sub-
sidized one-bedroom apartment in Waterville,
and she works at a local fast-food restaurant.
Like Fisher, Michelle DeStoop is hopeful for
the future. She's been told that she is near the
top of the waiting list for subsidized housing
and thinks she and her family could be in a
home of their own this summer.
Any home is better than being homeless, she
said.
Even a dilapidated trailer from the 1970s on
a country road in the middle of nowhere.
"We were living there," she said. "We called
it home."

is a man of

integrity
here are some
things you can be
certain about.
The sun will rise each
morning. During the sum-
mer, this part of Florida
gets thunderstorms in the
afternoon. And, Gary
Maidhof is an honest per-
son.
Maidhof is the director
of Citrus County's Devel-
opment Services Depart-
ment and he is now at the
center of the storm over
Sen. Charlie Dean's barn.
The chairman of the
county commission said
Wednesday to a Chronicle
reporter that Maidhof was
doing Sen. Dean a favor
when he approved the
construction of a
barn/house on some farm-
land' the senator owns
along the Withlacoochee
River.
In a situation like this,
when you say someone
has done a favor for an-
other in an official capac-
ity, you are saying they are
dishonest

Our Sound Off line
has gotten several
calls about the
state attorney general's
opinion on Sen. Charlie
Dean's barn. Make that
several dozen calls ... and
that was as of mid-week!
We will publish dozens
of those calls, but not hun-

the volume and many peo-

we publish to a represen-

There's a lot of accusa-

and the anger, disbelief
and frustration are palpa-
ble. Many of the nastier
comments wouldn't be
published even if we were
to dedicate enough space
to do so.
If I had to guess, no
other telephone line in
the world carried the
words "good-ol' boy" more

Again, many, many of

CHARLIE DEAN'S BARN




The barn,,



the residence



and the law


tate Sen. Charlie Dean,
JR-Inverness, is going to
make his barn right
That was the word this past
week out of Inverness after
County Administrator, Brad
Thorpe talked
with the former
sheriff, current THE I
senator and al- Charlie De
ways farmer. Charlie D
According to the
county administra- OUR 01
tor, Sen. Dean has An app
agreed to seek the resol
proper permits,
pay the impact
fees and secure the appropri-
ate setback variance for the
structure he built on his With-
lacoochee Riverfront farmland
in east Citrus County.
The structure Sen. Dean had
built on, his .agriculturally'
zoned property created an up-
roar earlier in the year when it
was determined that none of
the "traditional permits were
secured or fees paid.
State law does not require
farmers to get permits or pay
fees when they are building
structures for agricultural pur-
poses. Sen. Dean said the
structure he built is a barn.,
Many critics claimed it was a
residence with a barn con-
nected.
The senator argued that
since he didn't live in ,the
"barn" it-is not a residence and
therefore he was in compli-
ance with the law.
The- key to the controversy
was a meeting that Sen. Dean
had prior to, the construction
project. when he visited with
county Development Services
Director Gary Maidhof. The
senator said that the Develop-
ment Services director signed
off on the project Maidhof said
he didn't remember the meet-
ing, but that if the senator said
it happened - it happened.
Nothing was put in writing.,
The ambiguity did not give any
of us a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Florida Attorney, General
Bill McCollum was asked to


weigh !in on the controversy
and he ruled last week that the
county does in fact have the au-
thority to make such a deci-
sion.
McCollum also said that a
structure is a res-
idence, even if no
SSUE: one lives in the
means barn. structure.
So everyone
can claim victory
PINION: with that kind of
ropriate political ambigu-
ution. ity.
Sen. Dean has
apparently put
the issue to rest by agreeing to
pay all fees and file all the nec-
essary paperwork to be in com-
pliance with the county
regulations. That action cer-
tainly mitigates the mess.
The county has some culpa-
bility ,in the controversy- be-
cause its rules for agricultural
property are vague and the:
documentation of this meeting
with the senator does not exist.
That lack of follow-through is
disappointing. *
Elected officials have no spe-
cial rights. They must live
under the same rules and reg-
ulations that everyone else fol-
lows. There should be a special
understanding on the part of
regulators everywhere that
when a politician does make a
request for service, every step
along the way will be docu-
mented.
A skeptical public believes
the worst. The Development
Services director should have
anticipated what would hap-
pen in a case like this.
The county has already
begun the process to change its
policy. Any agricultural excep-
tion must have written docu-
mentation that shows the
exemption in question has
been reviewed and approved.
The issue of the difference be-
tween a "barn" and a "resi-
dence" remains ambiguous. Our
county and state leaders should
clear that up so everyone is
playing by the same set of rules.


Vote them out
, Read this morning Commis-
sioner Damato says raise self-
haulers to $5. People wouldn't
take their garbage if they could
afford garbage pickup. The major-
ity of people don't live off the fat
of the land with their big busi-
nesses and their commissioners'
salaries. These commissioners
have done nothing but wasteful
spending. You voted out two; it
should have been three. Another
chance (is) coming up next year.
Go to the polls. Be the Americans
we were known to be. Vote them
out 'til they get it right. They do
nothing for the people.
Garbage resentment
My family could easily generate
more than 12 bags of trash a
month. Instead we separate alu-
minum and tin cans, glass, news-
paper, magazines, cardboard,
plastic jugs, and compost almost
all of our food waste. We go to re-
cycle centers about once a week.
Every three or four months we
travel to the landfill with the waste


we cannot possibly recycle. We are
not a very good revenue stream for
the landfill, and we resent com-
missioners Bartell and Damato
wanting to make a profit on our ef-
forts. If the county needs the rev-
enue, we will gladly send 12 bags
a month and even more through a
hauler. We want to do our part and
it would save us time and money.
Roadside dumping
I have a question for the people
at the landfill: If they raise our
fees to bring our garbage out
there from $2 to $5, is .it going to
cost them more to pick it up
alongside the road if we decide to
throw it out in the road? What
about the people that can't afford
to go to the dump? They're going
to start dumping'alongside the
road or on side roads or in the
Woods. It's going to cost more to
clean it up, isn't it? That's just a
kind of a question I'd like to have
answered. What is more impor-
tant-.to keep the place clean
and get the stuff to the dump or
to make money and have the peo-
ple throw it on the road?


Sharia continues to strangle free speech


DIANA WEST
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - I
am being patted down by a fe-
male Danish security officer in
the basement of the parliament
building in .Copenhagen and I
have a thought I have just trig-
gered the metal detector - my
heels, I'm sure - en route up-
stairs to the Landstingssalen, for-
merly the parliament's upper
house. There, I am scheduled to
deliver a speech at the invitation
of the Danish Free Press Society,
or Trykkefrihedsselskabet. (Say
that three times fast - or slow.)
Indeed, I am holding the text of
my 20-minute address inside a
folder in one of my hands, now
rigidly outstretched as I am being
searched. The speech is called
"The impact of Islam on Free
Speech in the U.S.," but as I am
checked for bombs and knives
and whatnot, my thought is of the
impact of Islam on free society-
everywhere.
Such a thought surely tops the
heights of "political incorrect-
ness," I know. But what should I
do - not express it? Not think it?
Not even notice that Western'civ-
ilization, in skewing to accommo-
date the jihad threat of Islam
within, has already traded away
too much precious freedom?
As the security officer contin-
ues patting me down, I follow this
forbidden train of thought to the
realization that it is only due to
the incursions of Islam into the
West - Islam with its death
penalty for criticism of Islam -
that I am now standing here
under guard. Here we are (for
there is a long line behind me by
now), participants in a confer-
ence to consider Islam's censor-
ing impact on free speech, and
Danish security is doing its best
to prevent Islam from censoring
the speech of anyone here per-
manently. This strikes me as an
exceedingly hard way to prove a
point.
Not that there are many people


Other VOICES


likely to try outside the elegant,
security-ringed conference room
upstairs. In PC lingo, security in
the basement is looking for "ter-
rorists" or "extremists" - those
postmodern designations for per-
petrators of Islamic jihad that,
presto, turn everything Islamic
into something generic. Still, with
Islam comes jihad, and with jihad
comes Islamic law (Sharia), no
matter what "experts" tell you.
And because Islam is a growing
presence in the West, Western
countries must now and presum-
ably forever expend vast sums of
money and manpower to manage
- not defeat, just manage - the
jihad that can break out in acts
large and small at any time. In-
creasingly, this also means defer-
ring to Sharia.
Finally, my pre-conference
frisk is over. Hallelujah, I am no
threat to society and allowed to
pass. I go on to meet for the first
time the great author Wafa Sul-
tan, and meet again the great
Dutch parliamentarian Geert
Wilders, the two most illustrious*
speakers on the conference ros-
ter.
Both Sultan and Wilders, of
course, live under unrelenting,
permanent and Islamic threat of
death for their critiques of Islam,
in a very real way suffering every
day for defying Sharia's prohibi-
tion against criticizing Islam. But
does the outrageousness of their
plight resonate with their fellow
citizens? I don't think so. I think
we've all grown much too used to
it, and dully complacent. But
imagine if I had written, circa
1970, that for his critique of com-
munism, Ronald Reagan lived
under unrelenting, permanent
and communist threat of death in
his beloved. California, that he
couldn't travel the streets of Los
Angeles without a massive secu-
rity retinue, that he could no
-longer even sleep in his own


home. Wouldn't Americans have
become, rightly agitated over the
communist enemy within?
I think the answer would have
been yes, but the point is, no such
mortal homeland danger existed
at that time for those who spoke
against the leading threat to
Western-style liberty. Today, a
mortal 'homeland danger does
exist. I won't tell you what it was
like to slip in and out of the
Wilders security bubble during
the course of his stay in Copen-
hagen, but suffice it'to say, it is
both a veritable shame and'an
outrage that his life depends on
that bubble, and that for speaking
his mind in defense of Western-
style liberty he has lost his own
freedom.
The same goes for Wafa Sultan,
who, for attacking the repressive-
ness of Islamic law (under which
she existed for 30 years in Syria),
.also lives privately a similarly
wary, hunted life that necessitates
protective security measures.
Remember, this is happening
in the "Free World." Whether in
Denmark, Holland or the United
States, the heavy hand of Islamic
law is pressing in on its leading
critics, squeezing the freedom out
of their existence. It is time to say
enough - literally enough, for
example, and stop Sharia by stop-
ping Islamic immigration - and
throw off the rising chokehold of
jihad-advanced Sharia. I guaran-
tee it will take a lot more effort
than just patting down the occa-
sional free speechnik, but I also
guarantee that for the sake of free
speech it is with it

====--===- LETTERS to the Editor ---------


Be fair
To all Citrus County commis-
sioners and staff: Pleased be ad-
vised that as a citizen of Citrus
County, I am very pleased with
the decision of Florida Attorney
General McCollum backing the
Citrus County attorney's office be-
lief that Sen. Dean's barn struc-
ture can be considered a
residence, as reported in the
Chronicle June 16.
The attorney general, accord-
ing to the same article, stated that
enforcing the Florida Building
Code in any case is a call the
county must make. The attorney
general stated that a uniform
building code is to protect public
health, safety and welfare.
My question to you is: If you are
concerned about public health,
safety and welfare of Citrus
County citizens at all, why has it
taken so long to resolve the Dean
barn situation? Why have the of-
fices of the Department of Com-
munity Affairs and the Florida
Attorney General been asked for
opinions? Instead, if you had just
listened to Citrus County Attorney
Battista and the Chronicle, the
Citrus County citizens would not
have been dragged through the
mud of embarrassment because
of the intense media coverage.
Honestly, I am beginning to feel
like I am living on one of the
"Green Acres" TV programs -

Do what's right
The Dean barn saga continues
to annoy those of us in Citrus
County who have already gradu-
ated from kindergarten. Kinder-
garten, you ask? Because
everything I needed to know I
learned there.
Poor Gary Maidhoff If the scape-
goat costume fits, you must wear it?
Shame on you, Charlie Dean. Did
you skip kindergarten altogether?
Here are a few of the rules you
need to learn in order to graduate.
1. Play fair. (Bill McCollum
says your barn with bedrooms is
a residence - live with it)
2. Clean up your own mess
(stop blaming everyone else).
3. Don't take things that aren't
yours (like good ol' boy liberties).
4. Say you're sorry when you
hurt others (you owe Gary Maid-
hoff an apology).
U.S. senator? Does that earn you a
privilege I'm not entitled to? Do the
right thing and put this county em-
barrassment out of its misery I'm
sick of repeatedly reading about
how you tried to beat the system

Hot Corner: GARBAGE

Taking the cracker thing to another level


M y family and I
moved to Inverness
26 years ago. The
first Sunday we were here,
Cheryl and I attended Sun-
day School and church at
the Inverness Church of
God. The Sunday School
class was taught by Harvey
Dunn. We were immediately
impressed with Harvey and
with his wife, Astrid, both of
whom made us feel right at
home.
But that was only the be-
ginning.
It's tough to uproot your


family, especially when you
have children. It wasn't as
difficult for the younger
ones, but the eldest, Beth,
was a high school junior. She
left behind the friendships,
recognition and status she
had achieved in Tallahassee
to become a "new kid" at
Citrus High School. Harvey
and Astrid's daughter, Vicky,
quickly took Beth under her
wing - they became the
best of friends and remain
so until this very day.
Having the Dunns as a
part of our world is a bright


spot for my fam-
ily and me,
something we
cherish.
Speaking of
cherishing - a
few weeks ago, I
wrote about how
some of us na-
tive-born Florid-
ians cherish our * Fred Brannen

residency is suf-
ficient
Harvey, who,
as I have, has
worn his crack-
erhood as a
badge of honor,
recently told me
that particular
column made his
wife's day.
Just as I had
done with
Cheryl, Harvey
had disallowed
aspirations to be


Astrid wasn't even as
close - Cheryl was born in
another state, but Astrid
was born in another coun-
try, German by birth.
Now - according to Har-
vey - Astrid has taken the
cracker thing to another level
- she has proclaimed herself
to be a sauerkraut cracker!
Interesting.
With such a concept in
mind, I'd classify my classy
sweetheart as a Ritz cracker
and we could probably find
all of our grandchildren in a
box of animal crackers. One


of 'em, the Texan, Eric, is
neither by birth nor resi-
dency a Florida cracker, but
he'd be in the box - as an
adorable little monkey.
I see this becoming com-
plicated, but my friend Har-
vey and I have agreed to
remain as we've always
been - a pair of native-
born, sand-in- the-shoes,
salty Florida saltines.

=Hot Corner: DEAN'S BARN=


Wait and see
So now we have a state
attorney general who knows.
a house from a barn, and a
state lawmaker who still in-
sists his really nice barn is
not a house. Let's see if Cit-
rus officials still have trou-
ble determining which is
which or whether they have'
the gumption to stand up to
Charlie Dean and collect the
fees he owes us taxpayers.
Equal treatment
Well, Citrus County politi-
cians, you now have a sec,
ond chance to earn the
money the taxpayers pay
you to do your job. Also,
now we have to pay the
state politicians for working
on your job for you. We pay
their salaries, too. You have
been told this barn business
should never have left the
county. Now Gary Maidhof
wants to meet with Thorpe
and Battista. He already has
his answers and he should
be held responsible. If his
memory's bad, he should
have the papers (from)
when Dean came to see
him. Let's see Dean get the
proper permits and pay the
fines the law says for these
offenses. Please treat the
politicians like you treated
me when I applied for a per-
mit to build a carport. I was
9 inches short for the set-
backs. I was refused a per-
mit but told for $150, I
could get a variance.
Sucking up
This iSn response to the
frbnt iage this morning,
"Thrumston: Dean got
favor." I'd just like to say
that it appears to me John
Thrumston is sucking up to
our state politician ... I
think Charlie Dean knew it
wasn't a barn when he went
to them.. He just wanted to
get somebody's permission
to do the wrong thing and
now he doesn't mind throw-
ing somebody else under
the bus just to protect him-
. self. I think he ought to be
fined for it.
Fire and demolish
Mr. Maidhof had selective
memory ... Mr. Maidhof
had nothing inwriting be-
cause he did not want a
paper trail. He should be
terminated. My tax dollars
pay for his salary, pension,
etc. He violated his position
that was entrusted to him.
Fire him immediately. Mr.
Dean knew what he was
dong when building. He
should be treated like any-
one else would be treated.
Demolish the barn and
foundation and then start
over with proper permits.
Also, he knew he was wrong
if he has an attorney in-
volved now. The good-ol'-boy
system at work in Citrus -
or is that Circus County?
Remember this
We are in trouble when a
senator doesn't know the ,
difference from a barn and
a house when he designed
this edifice. Good-ol'-boys
will bail him out. Taxpayers
will still lose out. Remember
elections.
Time to comply
Charlie Dean has )
shrewdly built a two-bed-
room, one-bath residence
and a two-car garage and is
trying to pass it off as an
agricultural use building.
Florida Attorney General Bill
McCollum has decreed that
this barn is not a barn, but
a dwelling. It's good to know
someone in this state has
common sense. Now is the
time for BFad Thorpe, our
new county (administrator),
to stand strong for the citi-
zens of Citrus County. Mr.
Dean does not warrant any
special consideration. He is
not in compliance with land
development codes of our


county. It's time for Charlie
to write a personal check for
his after-the-fact permits
and fines and get his prop-
erty and structures into
county compliance.
Who'd-athunk?
Please show Dean and
Gary a picture of a barn.
Dean doesn't know what a
barn is. It has no bathroom,
kitchen or bedroom. Gary
thought he was going to
build a barn; he didn't know
he was going to build a
mansion. No favors, just like
the (Freezer).
Memory lapse
I'm wondering if Gary
Maidhof could go to court
and take an oath that he
doesn't remember Sen.
Dean coming in his office
with these building plans. I
didn't think much of Dean's
story before, but I'm start-
ing to support him. If Maid-
hof can't remember
somebody as important and
identifiable as the state sen-
ator, maybe he needs to do
something else.
Disassemble
About Sen. Dean's barn:
The law here in Citrus
County is, anybody that
puts up a building without a
permit, it is supposed to be.
disassembled and a permit
issued for a new building to
be put up. That building
should be disassembled be-
cause they cannot look in
between the walls once it
was built, to make sure
everything is up to code. So
if he gets away with this
here, 'there's.something
wrong with these county
commissioners.
Fine the builder
On Dean's barn: Whoever
put that barn together, sup-,
posedly where it looks like a
house, is just as much at
fault as Sen. Dean because
they knew there was no per-
mit issued. So they should
be held responsible, who-
ever built that building for
him, just as much as Dean.
You're supposed to have a
permit and if they're a
builder, they know there's
supposed to be a permit is-
sued and they shouldn't get
away with it. If he's getting
fined, whoever helped put
that building together
should be fined with him.
Case in point
Years ago when the no-
name storm come through
here, I remember on (U.S.)
19 across the street from
the Cadillac dealership,
there was a house and the
shingles blew off, a few shin-
gles blew off, and there was
a gentleman up on the roof
trying to keep his house dry,
the inside dry. I remember
the building department
going down there and fining
him and putting him in jail
because he did not have a
permit to fix his roof. There
is no difference between
that gentleman and Sen.
Dean. Dean made it worse
because he built a big build-
ing. This old guy was there
just trying to close a hole so
his house wouldn't get
flooded. I hope the law
straightens this out because
if not, if it's good for one,
it's got to be good for all.
Believe Maidhof
I was just wondering why
Commission Chairman John
Thrumston believes Charlie
Dean's side of the story and
not Gary Maidhof's. If
there's nothing in writing,
how can he accuse Gary
Maidhof of anything? If all
it was a conversation, why is
he taking Charlie Dean's
side? I would believe Gary
Maidhof before I'd believe a
politician any day, and I be-
lieve that Maidhof doesn't
remember the conversation
because it never took place.


Sound OFF


Bunch of bunk
The Chronicle's saying the com-
missioners should hold the line on
taxes. What a bunch of bunk. They
published how much money the
commissioners spent in '03 and '04
and it was obvious that they had an
extra $3 billion or $4 billion all of a
sudden. How did that change the
quality of life for the citizens? They
blew that money. The sheriff's de-
partment blew that money. And to
say that there's only an 8 percent
decrease is a terrible joke (by) this
new assessor. Everybody knows it's
a 30 percent loss in value. Of
course they'll never lower your taxes
30 percent, but they didn't mind
raising them 50 or 60 percent in
'04 and '05. Don't perpetuate this
fraud on the people of this county.
Cut the spending.
Acting like banks
Employers are now doing to em-
ployees what banks are doing to
good customers - treating them"
like garbage. Now employers feel like
the job shortage means that they
can dog the people that they have
working for them already, making
them do two jobs, not giving them
raises, making them be fearful that
they're going to lose their job, so,
therefore, mistreating them. So now
the employers have come to start.
acting just like the banks are. Some-
thing's got to be done about this.
Wise up
All you Republicans out there had
better listen to this: If you don't
stop that hard-line, rightwing, do-it-
for-us-only (attitude) - meaning
you Republicans in Congress and in
the Senate and all the other Repub-
licans that are governing us - I
want to tell you something, you will
be an extinct party. Within five to 10
years, people will never even have
heard about the Republican Party.
So wise up, get more for the people,
and not so much for yourself.
Objection
I'm calling about the article in
Sunday's Commentary section on
June 7, "CMHS must be account-
able to the taxpayers." I'm amazed
at the amount of tax revenue that
Citrus Memorial has received of
over $44 million in the past six
years as opposed to zero for Her-
nando County and Seven Rivers
hospitals. Also, they do not pay real
estate, sales, tangible and federal
taxes while other hospitals do. As a
taxpayer, I strongly object to their
tax millage rate of 1.1689 for the
tax year 2008, which is 7.3 percent
of the total county and school tax
millage rate of 16.085.
Cleaning yards
This is for "Burn ban is back-
wards": I guess you must live where
there isn't any trees. We live on 1
acre and have about 75 trees on our
property. Every time we have a high
wind or rain, limbs fall. What would
you do with them? A lot of people
don't have a truck or trailer to carry
them to the landfill. If you carry
bags of leaves, it's $1 a bag and it
is a long way off. We also recycle


and we believe that they'd encour-
age that. We can't always recycle
everything, so we have a burn barrel
and we burn them. We can't all sit
on our porch and drink coffee. We
are out there cleaning our yards.
Good old boys
In this county, it seems some
businesses can stay in business ille-
gally; others can't stay in business
legally. It seems that some people
can put up buildings and houses '
legally, and then there are the pre-
cious few who can do whatever they
want. I think it's time that the laws
were equal for .everyone and I think
it's time we really look hard at who,
we elected and who we should be
voting for in the next election. This
good-ol'-boy system has got to go.
Apples, oranges
I'm calling about Sunday's news-
paper article about Citrus Memorial,
comparing Citrus to Seven Rivers
and Hernando. Everybody needs to
understand that Citrus Memorial is
a not-for-prdfit hospital. It's like
comparing apples to oranges.
No blessing
Never a blessing ... This is for the
thief who stole my plants at lot 34
in Inverness: You know who you are.
Remember that stolen plants is
never a blessing from God.... I hope
you enjoy them. Have a godly day ...
Failure to act
Once again our great county com-
missioners have failed to act. We
need this low-income-housing proj-
ect in Beverly Hills ... This is one
reason you have so many homeless,
because the rents are so high and
people that are making minimum
wage can't afford to pay $650,
$700, $800 for a small apartment.
There's just not enough low-income
housing, but yet they could waive
the fees. The commissioners could
waive the fees, but they chose not
to and I think it's a shame.
Recreation
I see that Bill McCollum, Florida's
attorney general, is trying to recre-
ate himself. He was a disaster when
he was in the United States Con-
gress and now he's trying to recre-
ate himself as a better leader.
What's with the Republicans? I
mean, Newt Gingrich, who broke
the law and was kicked out back in
the '90s, and Bill McCollum. You
know, there's a whole list. I can't
think of them right now, but there's
a whole list ... that are hoping the
American people have short memo-
ries, like me, and that they'll think
that they're some new kind of star
that's going to help the Republi-
cans. They couldn't do it before and
now they're coming back and trying
to do it now.
Fast times
Thank you, thank you, thank you
for finally printing all the NHRA re-
sults. That was something great to
see in the paper. Please keep up the
good work. There is more than
NASCAR out there. We appreciate it.
There are a lot of us fans that be-
long to the NHRA. It's not just


NASCAR. Thank you, thank you!
What time?
With all the work that's been done
on the Old Courthouse and its clock
tower and cupola, you'd think that
they could get the clock to function.
It used to work great, but since they
fixed it, the cupola, the clock
doesn't work at all. High noon all
the time.'Like so much around here,'
it's only right twice a day.
Promotions
I see where the school board pro-
moted the principal at Hernando El-
ementary to the county office, but
they moved an assistant principal
from Pleasant Grove to Hernando
Elementary. Hernando Elementary
had a very good assistant principal
.and he wasn't even offered, the job,
and now a very good administrator
has left the county. He took a job in
Levy County where, apparently, they
thought he could handle a high
school principalship.
War creates jobs
I wholeheartedly agree; let's bring
back all our service people home
where they belong. Then what - put
them all in the unemployment lines
with the rest of us? Sadly to say, war
creates jobs. OK, let's start up our
iron mills, clothes factories and all
other made-in-USA products. At
what price it costs to make them
here, who but the rich can afford to
buy made-in-the-USA (products)?
Doctor Ride
I want to thank Doctor Ride and
all their associates for their help in
giving me a ride to the doctor for a
colonoscopy, which I was unable to
drive home myself. (It was) the first
time I ever used their services, and
their driver by the name 6f Mickey
was the most wonderful person you
could ever want to help you out. He
was very nice and tried to help out
in any way he could. I appreciate
your services very much. Thank you.
Unbelievable
As a World War II veteran, I'm ab-
solutely devastated today that this
man (James) von Brunn would deny
the Holocaust, yet he was a World
War II veteran. I cannot believe this
blemish on the name of World War II
veterans that this man has done to
us. This is terrible ... I hope that he
gets the full extent of the law. That
man should be executed just as soon
as possible because there is a man
laying dead right now that he killed
in the Holocaust museum. This can-
not stay. Things like this must stop.
'Rope Swing'
Our brainless county commission
just voted to sell a dedicated public
park site on the Withlacoochee River
known as "Rope Swing," to a com-
plaining neighbor. Public waterfront
access is very hard to find, and,
once gone, it can never be.replaced.
Rowdy behavior can be dealt with by
other means. Since when is public
policy set by a whining neighbor
who knew he bought next to a park
site? The sale can be stopped if
there is a public outcry. It sounds
like an issue for Ron Schultz.

Health care reform based on skewed statistics


The president's new
health care propos-
als start the nation
on a long journey to a place
from which there is no re-
turn.
It is a proposal driven by
distorted statistics. It is in
response to the tens of tril-
lions of dollars of future
benefits promised to citi-
zens that cannot be deliv-
ered. When the journey is
completed, politicians will
control a full 18 percent of
our economy.
The propaganda begins
with the "big lie" that 47
million Americans are
uninsured and, by infer-
ence, cannot get health
care. The reality is quite
different Of the uninsured,
10 to 12 million are not citi-
zens. This equates fairly
well with the number of il-
legal aliens in the country.
Another 10 million or so
report annual incomes


greater than $70,000. These
people could buy insurance
but choose to spend their
money on other goods.
Many are young, healthy
and unlikely to need much
beyond auto insurance.
Several million of the
uninsured are children who
are entitled to Medicaid
coverage. No one .knows
why their parents have not
signed them up, but cover-
age is available.
The real number, then, of
uninsured is closer to 20 to
25 million. Many of these
people are between jobs
and insurance coverage.
Most regain coverage
within a year. The truly and
permanently poor are cov-
ered by Medicaid, if they

Team Obama would re-

rates. Even free prenatal therapies. Many of the best
care has not drawn at-risk foreign doctors have trained


in America. When was the
last time an American had to
travel to Canada for special-
ized care?
The Obama health plan's
"public option" creates a
government-run insurance
company to compete with
private companies. It won't
have to show a profit and
likely won't pay taxes. It will
charge less for the policies.
In short order, the private
companies will be gone.
The takeover will be com-
plete.
Then the rationing and
cost control will begin in
earnest Health care will be
managed by unelected gate-
keepers who will claim to
know what is best for you
and your doctor. Access to
medicines will be limited to
the "approved" list. Like-
wise, procedures and sur-
geries.
My biggest concern is that
once the government pro-


vides all health care, even if
it is poor in quality and
service, there will be no
turning back. Seniors
should be especially wor-
ried. That is where most
health care money is spent
and where the cuts will
occur:

=Letters to THE EDITOR


Political satire?
When I first read Ms Mattos' letter ti-
tled 'Tyranny," I thought it might be in
opposition to the current administration
of President Obama. But, on careful
reading, I found it to be a very cleverly
written satire about the policies of the
past administration of former President
George W Bush. Let's take a look at a
few of those well hidden gibes.
For example, "Our government has
emptied the treasury .. " Surely that
is related to the fact that President
Bush inherited a hefty surplus which
he decided to eliminate by granting
the large tax breaks to the country's
wealthiest people.
'This administration uses exaggerated
staged events to acquire popular sup-
port" That clearly refers to President
Bush keeping a returning aircraft carrier
at sea for extra time, sufficiently far from
the coastline of San Diego that the TV


cameras could not show it, and then Pres-
ident Bush landing on the carrier in a
cargo plane when a helicopter would
have been sufficient (but then he wouldn't
have needed his flight suit). Then Presi-
dent Bush made a speech with the large
banner backdrop stating "MISSION AC-
COMPLISHED." Does anyone remember
how many years ago that was? Yet the
mission remains unaccomplished.
"Political opponents are now blamed
for acts of terrorism, followed with
well-rehearsed proposals for increased
power and budgets for suppressive
agencies." Certainly that must refer to
former Vice President Dick Cheney
casting the blame. President Bush in-
creased budgets for the National Secu-
rity Agency to conduct the surveillance
of citizens without the constitutional re-
quirement for issuance of a search war-
rant by a judge to be issued upon cause.
"Competition suppression" can only
refer to the no-bid billions of dollars


awarded to Halliburton and its sub-
sidiaries; incidentally, a company run
by former Vice President Cheney be-
fore he selected himself to be the vice
presidential candidate for Mr. Bush.
Yes, Ms. Mattos' letter was an art-
fully written piece of political satire of
the first magnitude.

Sound OFF


Two-faced
I'm disappointed in
the Chronicle for several
reasons, but will limit
my remarks to the lat-
est.: Friday, June 5's
Opinion criticizes Gov.
Crist for signing Senate
Bill 360. I totally agree
with that. However, why
did the Chronicle limit its
criticism only to Crist?
Why not have our local
representative and two
state senators justify
their votes to pass Sen-
ate Bill 360? Didn't read
a word in the Chronicle
about their votes and its
negative impact on Cit-
rus County. They all
voted for it. I expressed
my opposition to the bill
to all three. Dean, of
course, will never ac-
knowledge a call. At
least Schultz responds.
Now our county commis-
sion will rush to support
the developers at tax-
payers' expense, and the
Chronicle still 'opposes
impact fees. Chronicle,
.you're two-faced.
Venting
While they're doing
the dome restoration on
the courthouse, are they
finally going to
straighten the west fac-
ing eyebrow roof vent?
Gas groans
Here we go again with
the gas prices. It's $2.69
.... Keeps on going up
and up and up again.
Where's all this money
going at? I'm sure it's not
the commissioners - or
maybe it is. Or is it the
whatever? But anyway,
it's getting ridiculous.
Not in Mayberry
I'm just reading your
paper and I just read the
article ?bout "Shades of
Mayberry." I think the
person who called that
in seems to think we're
looking for somebody
with a purple face, a


black hat and things like
that. We're looking for
an ordinary person
who's hanging out by
schools, by playgrounds
with children, by bus
stops ... This is not May-
berry.-Something like
that would not happen
on the television pro-
gram like Mayberry.
Wake up ...
Kerosene tip
This is to the person
who was looking for
kerosene in the Sound
Off: Crystal River Coastal
Whetstone Oil on (U.S.)
19 in Crystal River does
carry.kerosene. Hope
this helps you.
Czar crazy
With less and less
people working and
more people on unem-
ployment, how does the
president of the United
States figure he can
keep putting people on
the government payroll
with these new czars? I
mean, let's face it; if
there's no one paying
taxes to support the gov-
ernment employees,
how do you justify
adding more and more
every day? Common
sense says you can't.
More kerosene
For the person who's
wanting kerosene: Try
Rick's gas station in Flo-
ral City. He used to have
it. Good luck.
Bizarre, I think
If you people don't
think we aren't turning
into a communist na-
tion, can you tell me why
everybody that Obama
appoints he calls them a
czar? I think it's kind of
bizarre, myself.

not "storms.'" Tuesday was
different
From Hernando, I headed
up State Road 200. After get-
ting into Marion County, I
took a right onto County
Road 484, thinking maybe
I'd have my first visit to
Belleview (the Florida com-


munity - not New York's
Bellevue Hospital).
After a few minutes I
could no longer ignore the
churning, slate-colored sky
to the north that was shoot-
ing off impressive bolts of
lightning.
I turned around and
headed back toward S.R.
200 but was trying to outrun
the southward-bound storm.
For a time I was convinced I
could get ahead of the storm


and beat it on our race to
Hernando - and then C.R.
484 took a sharp right, right
into the storm.
Despite knowing that
nasty petrochemicals make
roads slippery when initially
wetted by rain, I forged
ahead. Along the way I saw a
wiser motorcyclist, who was
pulled over, wrapped in a
rain parka, waiting and
watching as I rode by in my
rain-soaked yellow, button-


down-collar work shirt.
A photograph of that guy
and a photograph of yours
truly could have easily illus-
trated the "do's" and don'tt"
of safe motorcycling. This
weekend I'm strapping my
rain gear onto the rack on
my bike, where it'll stay until
the rainy season passes.
N There's a mouse in the
newsroom and it's causing
some concern.
Personally, I haven't seen


it but enough people have -
including one coworker who
felt something bounce off
her leg, then watched the
little guy scamper off.
Even though it's a pest
and freaking some people
out, the mouse has brought
a subtle sense of unity to the
various work groups in the
department.
As the late Beatle George
Harrison observed, "All
Things Must Pass," and that's


true for Sen. Dean's barn
being a big issue, for summer
storms and for little animals
that strike fear in big people.
But for right now, the Bea-
tles album titled "Help"
seems more apropos.

ston was trying to be sup-
portive of Sen. Dean and
suggested Maidhof was try-
ing to cover up a mistake he
made.
Well, as sure as I am that
the sun will rise tomorrow,
I'm sure that Maidhof is an
honest guy who wasn't try-
ing to do a favor for anyone.
Gary Maidhof is a Boy
Scout. He does not do fa-
vors for wealthy or influen-
tial people. In fact, he is
such a stickler for the rules
and regulations that most
folks think he a royal pain
in the you-know-what.
And because of that, a lot
of folks wish Maidhof didn't
hold the important job that
he now has.


But you can't question
the man's honesty.
Maidhof could have
talked his way out of the
Sen. Dean barn contro-
versy, but he refused to do
so - even though his expla-
nation of the events is
somewhat lame.
The Development Serv-
ices director does not re-
member a meeting that
Sen. Dean says took place
when the plans for the barn
were reviewed and ap-
proved. While his memory
may have lapsed, his in-
tegrity has not. He has re-
fused to make up some
memory of the meeting
even though it would help
save his job.
Unlike all of the other
characters in this drama,
Maidhof is the only player
who does not have a huge
ego. ..


The political intrigue
around this is pretty thick.
Sen. Dean appeared to try
and make the whole thing
go away on Wednesday
when he told County Ad-
ministrator Brad Thorpe
that he agreed to pay all
permit fees, impact fees
and file the necessary pa-
perwork. The senator has
received huge negative
public reaction as he has
tried to explain that the
structure on his property is
a barn and not a house, and
therefore was exempt from
the fees and permits.
But Chairman Thrum-
ston's "favor" remark has
dumped more gasoline on
the fire and who knows
where things will end up
now.
Maidhof's response to
Thrumston was that of a
typical Boy Scout who has


been crossed with a mad
scientist. He suggested the
chairman should file a com-
plaint with the State Attor-
ney's Office if he believes a
crime has been committed.
There have been a lot of
dumb things done and said
dilring this controversy
There have been a lot of
reputations that have been
damaged. And there have
been plenty of mistakes
made. But here's one thing
you can hang onto: Gary
Maidhof, is a man of in-
tegrity.
Now we will see if that is
enough to keep his job in
this overheated political
arena.

Fond farewell
Goodbye, Citrus County.
Tomorrow I'm leaving the
place that made me who I
am. I was born here, I was
raised here and now it's
time to spread my wings
and see what the world
has to offer. Growing up in
a small town is exactly
- what it's cracked up to be.
. Through my travels and
meeting a range of diverse
cultures, I've come to real-
ize that I'm glad I grew up
in a small town. I hear
regularly "there is nothing
to do here" ... I've come to
realize that even though
this problem is getting
better as time passes and
places grow, that this
place isn't meant to have
things to offer. This isn't a
place to make it big. This
place isn't about the indi-
vidual. This place is ori-
ented around close friends
and family. Although I've
never felt I belonged here,
looking back it was my
ambitions telling me this.
You are whoever you want
to be and you will be wher-
ever you need to be. I hear
stories of people who have
traveled far and wide who
.go on to do great things.
These people are my in-
spiration. I will miss my
family, I will miss my
friends, I will miss my
lovers and I will even miss
my enemies, for they let
me learn a different side
of myself. For now, my
story doesn't end here.
I'm not going to say I will,
never be back, but for now.
this is a goodbye. Thank
you to anyone who was
ever there for me. Good-
bye, Citrus.


Don't get it
Well, you can call me stu-
pid, but I just don't get it. I
noticed since it has started
raining- it's rained.at least
10 inches, I'm sure more--
and I live in a cove off of


so many potholes there. I'm
tired of falling in there and
having my car being just out
of; alignment here. So
please fix those potholes.
I'm tired of it..

Based on law
In response to the article
by Leonard Pitts regarding
Sotomayor as a judge candi-
date: First of all, if you look
at her background and her
history, she has a history of
making judicial decisions
and court decisions based
on her personal opinion and
her upbringing. Somebody'
sitting on the bench in the
Supreme Court is supposed
to make decisions based on
the law, and that is it. By
whatever the Constitution
says, is what you go by, not:
your personal opinion or
how you're interpreting what
the Constitution says...


Caring for Dixie
I would like to thank Dr.
Kenny Ferrara of the Planta-
tion Animal Clinic and her
staff for the excellent, car-
ing-care given to my Dixie. I
thought I was going to lose
her. Thanks again.
Historical landmark
This is in, reference to the
old bait shop, Lassiter's Gro-'
cery Store and Deli in Lake
Hernando. It is presently
zoned commercial. It's estab-.
lishediih 1952 and grandfa-
thered in before zoning was
established in Citrus County.
We, the citizens of Hernando,
support the old bait shop. We


can buy fishing poles, tackle
and bait, and fish off the old
dock. Like many have over
the last 62 years that grew
up there, the citizens of Her-
nando are moving forward to
establish it as a historical
landmark. My personal view
is not to view one person's
view; it's.not the view of the
community that grew up
there. As for the music - we
love it. The owners restrict
the music to only gospel,
country and western and
jazz. The atmosphere is very
peaceful and great. Thank
you, owners, for all your hard
work.
Speed trap
Beverly Hills just became
a speed trap. It's been that
way for about six months
now. I want everybody to go
20 mph and let's slow down
in Beverly Hills. If not, you
will get a ticket.
Safety first
This is in regard to the
homeless and showers in
Hernando. Even though I
have compassion for the
� homeless, I can't imagine en-
dangering children by having
them put in a situation where
people that we have no idea
* (of) their background will be
mixed together. It's not worth
it. Compassion is great, but
the safety of our children is
far more important.
Freedom of speech
"Apologize for views," the
writer of that article doesn't
need to read Dr. Dixon. Dr.
Dixon has the First Amend-
ment rights just as (she)
does. Believe me, I don't read
radical leftwing stuff because
it irritates me. So freedom of
speech for both parties.

How much of your

That doesn't mean that you

during tough times requires
you to target your best cus-

So what is the best

HAIR NECESSITIES


Donna Slusser, owner of Tiffany Wigs in Homosassa, is a SCORE Client of the Year.

Local businesswoman recognized for getting a boostfrom SCORE


CHRIS VAN ORMER

Chronicle,


rom the time Donna
Slusser opened her wig
boutique Nov. 15, 2007, to
June 10 when she became one
of the two SCORE Clients of
. the Year, 1,115 women have
left her shop in Servos Square
with luxuriant heads of hai'.
"When a woman comes in
here, it's to get back her
crowning glory," Slusser said.
Slusser has dealt with the
loss of her own hair, and that
was the life-changing event
that caused her to open her
wig salon.
"I knew I wasn't the only
person with a hair-loss prob-
lem," Slusser said.
Slusser's hair was lost due
to a medical condition called
alopecia totalis, an autoim-
mune disorder of unknown
origin. It happened to her at,
the age of 45, eight months


The SCORE retired people are the

lucky to have them. I can't imagine any

after she gave birth. Her hair
started thinning. Then it was
gone.
At first, Slusser went into a
depression and had to take
time off work as heritage man-
ager at Fountain Memorial
Park But then she realized
she had to get on with her life.
"What you'can't cure can
heal you," Slusser said. "Wigs
are healing."
First, Slusser had to find
wig salons. She did not find
many sources in Citrus
County, although some hair sa-


lons carry some lines of wigs.
When she found wig salons,
Slusser discovered that often
the staff did not wear wigs
themselves. In that regard,
the staff had less rapport with
customers.
Another source of wigs was
catalogues. There, again,
Slusser found the experience
of buying a wig less than ideal.
"It's too personal a decision
to buy from a catalogue," she
said.
The wig would arrive and
would disappoint in style,


color or fit, she said.
Becoming something of an
expert about wigs and how to
give customer satisfaction,,
Slusser started her own busi-
ness, with a mentor from
SCORE, Counselors to Amer-
ica's Small Businesses, Ralph
Russo.
"Ralph encouraged me to
research wig companies,"
Slusser said. "He gave me di-
rection and homework I
wanted to pick his brain as
much as I could."
SCORE represented-a-.- -
wealth of business experience.
"The SCORE retired people
are the greatest minds in the
county," she said. "We're lucky
to have them. I can't imagine
any business contemplating
opening without contacting
them."
Even before Tiffany Wigs
opened, Slusser said women
telephoned her, eager to come
in.

Auto tech receives
ASE certification
Todd Holloway, the owner of
Powell Square Auto Service is
proud to announce that one of
his technicians, Evan Lathrop
has joined the ranks of thou-
sands of other skilled auto
technicians by completing the
necessary training and course
work to become ASE certified.
According to Holloway, "Until
the early 1970s, consumers
had no way to distinguish be-
tween incompetent and com-
petent mechanics. In response
to this need, the independent,
non-profit National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence
(ASE) was established in
1972. The mission of the ASE


is to improve the quality of ve-
hicle repair and service
Through the testing and certifi-
cation of repair and service
professionals. In addition to
passing the exam, part of Lath-
rop's requirements was provid-
ing proof of two years of
relevant work experience. Cer-
tification, however, is not for
life. To remain certified, those
with ASE credentials must be
retested every five years."
Holloway went on to say
that, "Having an ASE certified
technician working on your car
gives the consumer confidence
that the technician is a profes-
sional and at the top of his
field."
Call Evan Lathrop at Powell
Square Auto Service at 637-
1552. They're at 1213 N. U.S.

SECO announces
builder outreach
Sumter Electric Cooperative,
aka SECO Energy, has
launched a new effort aimed at
helping builders in the region
get their homes certified as en-
ergy efficient.
SECO Director of Corporate
Communications Barry Bow-
man said, 'We have had
SECO's energy services spe-
cialists trained at the Florida
Solar Energy Center to be able
to offer builders a very valu-
able service. Our energy serv-
ices group has passed the
exams necessary to receive
their Green Building Rater Cer-
tification. Now area builders
can have SECO rate their new
home construction as truly en-
ergy efficient and receive offi-
cial certification through the


Florida Green Building Coali-
tion Inc. (FGBC).
'That's a good thing be-
cause more energy efficient
homes in Florida mean lower
utility bills and help conserve
energy resources. Not only
that, a green certification will
give builders an edge in mar-
keting their new construction to
potential buyers."
Bowman noted that SECO's
green team will work hand-in-
hand with builders as construc-
tion progresses to ensure their
building practices are meeting
the standards for certification.
He said SECO will use the
recommended tiered rating
system where scoring is
awarded at different levels ac-
cording to points achieved
over the minimum point thresh-
old. Builders can achieve a
bronze, silver, gold or platinum
level certification.
'We are going to look at a
wide variety of categories in-
cluding energy and water use,
site prep, construction materi-
als and more. Each item evalu-
ated has a point value
associated with it. The more
points achieved, the higher the
rating In addition to their offi-
cial certification through FGBC,
builders participating in the
program will also receive a
special certificate from SECO
documenting their home rat-
ings, which can be used for
marketing purposes," Bowman
concluded.
Area builders interested in
finding out more about green
building certifications are in-
vited to call SECO at (352)
793-3801, ext. 1202.

DEAR BRUCE:
Most of my
younger years
were involved in raising
my four children and
sending them to "better"
schools. I am now 65 and
find that I only have about
$50,000 in savings. The
money is not gaining
much interest at all and I
would like to know what
to do. Is there any invest-
ment adviser that would
give me the straight scoop
(as opposed to one that
might have a self inter-
est)? What about Roth
IRAs? I need help and
don't know where to get it
- HB., via e-mail
DEAR I.B.: Unfortu-
nately, at 65 and with only
$50,000 in assets, you are
going to have to do a lot of
fancy maneuvering. Even
if you have the maximum
in Social Security bene-
fits, as a married couple
you would receive only
about $20,000 a year -
probably less. As to invest-
ment advisers, there is
very little that anyone can
tell you other than you
have so little money that
you will probably have to
continue to work part-
time. At today's interest
rates, your $50,000 very
likely would not even earn
$1,800 a year. Whether
your children who at-
tended "better" schools
are in a position to help
you is a matter between
you and them.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band and I own a home
and two vehicles. Our
house payment is $1,400 a
month. One of our vehi-
cles is paid for, and the
. other has a $9,000 balance
with a monthly payment
of $400. We have no trou-
ble making these pay-
ments with our income.
We have roughly $8,000 in
savings and expect an-
other $8,500 from our tax
refund. With this $16,500, I
think we should pay off
the remaining vehicle
debt, as the interest rate is
7.99 percent My husband
does not agree. He thinks
we should pay more than
the monthly $400 payment
for the next few months. I
realize we should keep
our savings at a comfort-
able level for emergen-
cies, but I hate the idea of
paying the interest every
month when we have the
money to pay it off. What
do you recommend? -
KM., West Virginia
DEAR K.M.: Is this sim-
ple interest, or is it com-
puted under some
arrangement where you
not only borrow the prin-
cipal but the interest in
advance, as well? If it is
the former, then paying it
off in advance makes
sense, since you're paying
a relatively high percent-
age. If it is computed
under a system where you
borrow the interest as
well as the principal, then
the majority of your pay-
ments first go to pay off
the interest leaving the
principal until last If
that's the case, then the
likelihood is that you've
paid off most of the inter-
est, so there's no great sav-
ing. If it's a simple interest
loan at 8 percent, it may
make sense. You are cor-
rect in observing that you
should have some money

Her busi-

Star Pro salon, which
means Raquel Welch is
Slusser's main line and
that she gets all previews
and new styles first from
the parent company, Hair
U Wear.
Although many cus-
tomers who are new to
wigs ask about human hair
wigs, Slusser recommends
trying a syn-
thetic fiber Having

what. new market
develop-

to offer. Her
line of wigs her bu
includes stro
styles made
o f
Kanekalon fiber that looks
as natural as human hair,
but is low maintenance
and holds its style. She
said the fiber would keep
its color and hold curl in-
definitely when properly
handled.
The synthetic fibers are
styled with highlight arid
lowlight colors for a natu-
ral look. One of the fibers
used in wigs, called
FlexLite, makes finer and
more lightweight wigs.
"On this new fiber, Vi-
bralite, you can use curl-
ing irons and hot rollers,"
Slusser said. "Normally,
you couldn't use those on
synthetic wigs."
Hundreds of heads line
the shelves inside the
Tiffany Wigs shop. Each
head wears a wig showing
a different style, length
ahd color. The customer
sits at a vanity to try on

"I'm very blessed to have:
this line," Slusser said
about the Raquel Welch
wigs as she showed how
they fall back into their
styles.
"I have a private vanity
area in the back if a client
wants to be alone,'- she
said. "I have different hair


textures, wiglets for thin-
ning hair, extensions, buns
and other hair pieces.",
About 60 percent of her

have hair loss because of
medical reasons, Slusser
said.

"Then they

about losing

One lady
told me, 'I


felt so bad I didn't want to

changed my life."'
The remainder of
Slusser's customers love to
shop for wigs as a great
fashion alternative, she
said. Although she was,
forced to wear them,
Slusser sees great advan-
tages.
"You never have a bad

a niche Slusser said.

For new customers who
lose their hair for medical
reasons, Slusser feels she
serves a need and devel-

keeps her business strong.
"Hair loss doesn't stop

she said.
She also carries a line of

Small business can apply for ARC loans


Special to the Chronicle

WASHINGTON - The
SBA began accepting loans
Monday for a temporary
new program called Amer-
ica's Recovery Capital.
'ARC" loans ofupto $35,000
are designed to provide a
"bridge" for viable small
businesses with immediate
financial hardship - to keep
their doors open until they
get back on track
"These ARC loans are
another tool in the SBA
toolkit, which will provide
critical support to small
businesses struggling to
make it through these tough
economic times," said Ad-
ministrator Karen G. Mills.
ARC loans are deferred-
payment loans of up to
marketing professionals com-
pete for cash prizes, another
$1,000 cash prize and a paid
position with the company.
This summer's team of L.A.
Stars is Brittany Goodman,
Danielle Gianfilippo,
Stephanie Campbell, all from
Florida State University, and
Mark Teague from University
of Florida.
"They're doing a fantastic
job, I'm proud of them all.
They could be on the beach
with their friends, but chose to
jumpstart their careers, it's
commendable and something
more young people should
do," said Andrew Wood, Leg-
endary Marketing president
and founder.

Rule one: maintain a database of
all your clients arnd potential cus-
tomers. How do we get this database
started so you can reach them effec-
tively?
In business, your business card is
the most used item to get people to
know how they can reach you. Most
cards have the basic information such
as the name of their company, what
the cardholder's position is and how
to reach her Most of us have drawers
full if we do any kind of networking.
Every time someone comes
through your door or does business
with you, make sure you have their
contact information, preferably their
e-mail address. You can offer incen-
tives to get their cards such as offer-

MONEY

for emergencies, but a
credit line can provide thst
at no cost. If you don't need
the money, then you don't
get charged.
DEAR BRUCE: After 45
years of computer program-
ming, I 'want to retire. I
started a small business in
2000 working from home.
I've never pushed it, and
I'm doing OK. I'd like to sell
the business, but brokers
don't seem to be interested
because it really isn't very
big. I have no idea how to
find a buyer. I'd be willing to
provide training and even
stick around until the buyer
is comfortable. I' have re-
ceived favorable write-ups
in business journals, but
how do I let people know
that it is for sale? -J.W, via
e-mail
DEAR J.W.: I have a feel-
ing that you are going to
have some trouble in. this
economy trying to sell a
business. Having said that,
have you tried advertising?
I'm not being sarcastic.
There are numerous trade
publications that deal with
computer-related issues,
and most have classified
sections. There are of
course the national news-
papers such as The Wall
Street Journal, that have
well-read business sections.
Try local advertising in
your newspapers. There are
costs to doing business and
costs to sell them. Don't be
bashful.

DEAR BRUCE: About 20
years ago, we bought a
membership in a lot 500
miles away for $6,000. The
annual dues are $290 and
the property taxes $11. The
lot has a land value of
$3,000. We contacted a local


real estate agent regarding
selling. He was not inter-
ested. We asked the resort if
we could gift it to them.
They-said "no," and if you
don't pay your dues we turn
you over to collections. If
we don't pay property taxes,
the county will sell the land.
It takes several years for
this to happen. We are in
our 60s and want to clean
up this mess. Please help. -
A.B., via e-mail
DEAR AJ3.: In your letter
you say that the lot has a
value of $3,000, but I think
what you mean is that the
lot is assessed by the county
at $3,000. It clearly has little
or no real value. This is
demonstrated by the fact
that the real estate agent
cannot find a market The
promoters know that there
is no value, and they would
prefer to have the dues paid
to them. I'm reluctant to
suggest this, but you really
ought to get an attorney to
review the contracts that
you signed. They can
threaten collections, but
whether it would actually
pay for them to do that is
another story. As you point
out you could allow the
property to be foreclosed
upon by the county, but,
until that action takes
place, you will continue to
be responsible for not only
the taxes but the annual
dues. You signed yourself as
"suckers" in your letter and,
unfortunately, member-
ships in these deals geher-
ally do not work out well.
DEAR BRUCE: A friend
. of mine passed away, leav-
ing his wife with a $400,000
mortgage and $900,000 in
life insurance. She earns
$70,000 a year and has a 1-
year-old child. I told her
that she should pay off the
mortgage and invest the
balance in something safe
like CDs. Others have sug-
gested investing the entire


$900,000. Which do you
think is the best? I have as-
sumed a 4 percent return
on her investments if she
were to make them. --- PK,
Indiana
DEAR PK.: First, you in-
dicated in your lengthy let-
ter that they are paying only
5-1/3 percent. That in itself
would dissuade me from
prepaying. You also men-
tioned CDs and then you
said assuming 4 percent re-
turn. Where and what CDs?
Either way, the lady seems
in pretty good shape finan-
cially. She could invest the
entire amount of money in
long-term government
bonds, but even taking taxes
into account, there would
be a small net loss. All that
having been said, the other
part of the equation, which
has to be addressed, is this
is a young person, and no-
body anticipates that the in-
terest rates are going to stay
low forever. This is why I
would recommend that she
continue the very low-rate
mortgage and invest her
monies over a decent spec-
trum, not in just interest-
bearing investments, but
equities, as well. Her best
move would be to get a good
fee-based planner to give
her an outline of her op-
tions. She is a great deal bet-
ter off than most young
widows.
DEAR BRUCE: I was re-
cently contacted by an annu-
ities company about an
annuity I have from a job
that I held 20 years ago that
I didn't know about. It ap-
pears, to be matching funds
that the employer made to
my contributions. The
amount is somewhere
around $3,800. The company
wants me to cash it out or
roll it over so they can clean
up this account If I cash it
out, there are no penalties to
pay I'm not sure if this
amount is, something I


should save when I could
use the cash flow right now. I
pay into a teacher retire-
ment fund for my state, have
a small annuity that I con-
tribute to with each pay-
check and my husband
contributes what seems like
a large amount to a retire-
ment fund plus Social Secu-
rity. - WJ., via e-mail
DEAR WJ.: Since the an-
nuity is 20 years old, the
penalty phase is long behind
us. The former employer is
saying that this is cluttering
up their books for a rela-
tively minor amount of
money You can roll it into
another annuity and there
will be no immediate tax im-
pact If you cash it out, there
very likely will be income
tax due. Since you and your
husband are employed, it's
likely that you are in a fairly
high income-tax bracket Be-
fore you cash this or roll it
over, you really ought to talk
to an accountant who can
run the numbers so you can
see the consequences of
your action. Whether it's im-
portant for you to maintain
this account for your
"golden years" is something
that I do not know with the
information at my disposal.
Before you act, you truly
owe it to yourself to run this
past an accountant. The
costs should be modest
DEAR BRUCE: My grand-
mother has money conserv-
atively invested in
commercial bank CDs. She
is elderly and often frets the
government will seize the
money and house and she'll
be on the streets. My sister
and I have told her not to
worry. Still, grandmother
will tell us she is scared of
the government taking
everything. Under what cir-
cumstances could the gov-
ernment seize money and
property? Does it happen
often? We think it would
ease her mind if we told her


Bruce Williams said, "Stop
worrying." - J.P, via e-mail
DEAR J.P: I think what
your grandmother is refer-
ring to is the possibility that
she may have to go into
some kind of a care facility,
and, in the event thai the
money is not there, they
could attach her property if
she was a Medicaid recipi-
ent It's very unlikely this is
going to happen, but other
than that, I don't know any
other way that the govern-
ment is out taking people's
assets. Tell her that Bruce
said, "Please stop worrying."
Nothing is going to happen
to her home and property.
DEAR BRUCE: I have
tried to call the IRS but have
spent a great deal of time on
hold. My husband recently
passed away. There were
three life insurance policies
with me as the beneficiary.
Is this money taxable? All
policies were payable upon
the death of my husband. -
D.D., via e-mail
DEAR D.D.: Ordinarily,
under most circumstances,
the proceeds from life in-
surance is not taxable.
However, the owner of the
policy and by whom and
how the premiums are paid
can sometimes dictate any
tax consequences. For the
relatively modest amount
of money involved, I would
suggest that you sit down
with an accountant of your
choice (not the IRS) and
have this individual exam-
ine the polices, how they
were paid and if there
were any tax advantages
taken in regard to the pay-
ment of the policy. All of
these things could enter
into the picture, and a gen-
eral answer is not in your
best interest.
DEAR BRUCE: How
much is enough? I have
had it .right up to my eye-
brows. I am a parent paying
the full tuition of a college


junior in a very expensive
private school. My son has
constantly told me that he
is afraid to express his po-
litical views in class be-
cause the professors have
made it abundantly clear
that conservative ideas are
wrong and will not be coun-
tenanced. He is of the opin-
ion that he has to keep his
mouth shut in order to get
decent grades. I feel that I
am paying the tuition and
that free speech is not just
free liberal speech but free
speech period. I want to
confront the administra-
tion. My wife says don't
make waves, let the kid
graduate. What do you
think? - L.C., via e-mail
DEAR LC.: You've got to
be kidding. I would be
down there talking with the
administration of that col-
lege so quickly their eye-
balls would snap. There is
no question that there is a
liberal bias in academia,
it's always been so. This is
not to say that there are not
conservative professors.
The good ones on either
side encourage dialogue.
Those that discourage it
should be replaced. At the
very least, I would ask the
administration for the op-
portunity to confront these
individuals. With the
amount of money that you
are spending for your son's
education, this does give
you the right to confront
and question the adminis-
tration.

Active managers try to shake up passive ETF niche


f there's any wis-
dom to the maxim
"If it ain't br6ke,
don't fix it," you might
not know it from look-
ing at what the ex-
change-traded fund
industry has been up to
lately
ETFs' heritage, now
16 years old, is rooted Mark
firmly in index invest- OF MU
ing. ETFs generally INTE|
hold a basket of invest- NTE
ments that passively
track a market index. But unlike
mutual funds, ETFs can be traded
like a stock during daily trading
sessions.
Their no-frills index approach
to investing means ETFs charge
smaller management expenses
than actively managed mutual
funds, which pitch the value of
professional expertise and the
prospect that market-beating per-
formance can offset higher ex-
penses.
That premise has proved a hard
sell amid the recent market tur-
moil, with nearly $283 billion
flowing out of stock and bond mu-
tual funds over the nine months
ended March 31. Some went to
ETFs, which have seen $162 bil-
lion flow in during that span, ac-
cording to Financial Research
Corp.
Meanwhile, 15 actively man-
aged ETFs have been launched
since April 2008, aiming to stretch
the investment product beyond its


index strategy comfort
zone. Fund-comipahies
have recently filed to
come to market with a
handful of other active
ETFs, with many more
expected in coming
. years.
So why -are ETF
providers messing with
Jewell success by trying active
JTUAL management? Think
evolution: There are
REST now more than 700.
index ETFs, ranging
from funds mirroring the Stan-
dard & Poor's 500 index to higher-
risk ETFs offering exposure to a
single industry, overseas market
or commodity.
So something new that seeks to
juice returns by using some de-
gree of investment screening is a
natural outgrowth.
'"Actively managed ETFs seem
like an obvious avenue to go down
to see what kind of traction that
they can get," said Loren Fox, an
analyst who helps lead ETF re-
search at the New York-based
firm Strategic Insight. "We think
there is genuine potential there."
Now, a megadeal is expected to
accelerate the rollout. New York-
based BlackRock Inc. announced
plans June 11 to buy the invest-
ment unit.of Barclays in a $13.5
billion deal that includes the
British bank's market-leading
ETF business, iShares. Last
month, iShares filed with regula-
tors to offer two active ETFs, in


hopes of expanding its current
share of about half the U.S. ETF
market. Its closest ETF rivals are
State Street Global Advisors and
Vanguard Group.
The first two active ETFs from
San Francisco-based iShares
could be just the start. BlackRock,
which would become the world's
largest asset manager with com-
pletion of the Barclays deal later
this year, is looking to play off its
strength in actively managed mu-
tual funds by expanding beyond
iShares' more than 170 index
ETFs.
BlackRock will consider active
ETF launches "in the broader
context of product design, regula-
tory and marketing considera-
tions," spokesman Brian Beades
said.
The active ETFs on the market
now include offerings from Pow-
erShares, Wisdom Tree and Grail
Advisors. Some invest in baskets
of stocks, some in bonds, and oth-
ers are geared toward real estate
investment trusts and bets on for-
eign currency markets.
Actively managed ETFs hold
nearly $314 million in assets, a
tiny slice of the ETF total of $535
billion. And even the ETF total is
dwarfed by mutual funds, which
hold about $18 for every dollar in
U.S. ETFs.
So far ETFs haven't caught on
with individual investors as much
as with institutions such as pen-
sion funds and foundations. But
Fox, of Strategic Insight, said that


could change with the BlackRock
deal and growth of active ETFs.
"What that could mean for ordi-
nary investors is a much larger
range of choices of how they may
want to invest in active strategies,"
Fox said, "whether it's through
mutual funds or ETFs."
As for performance, active
ETFs are too new to have a long-
term track record. That's why
Robert Mann, a computer systems
analyst from Grosse Pointe Woods,
Mich., won't be adding active
ETFs into his portfolio of index-
based ETFs anytime soon. The 47-
year-old is a member of a small
ETF investing club who caught
the ETF bug a couple years ago,
enticed by their low expenses and
ease of trading. He trades them
like a stock, unlike mutual fund
shares that are priced just once a
day - a disadvantage that has
boosted ETFs' appeal amid recent
market volatility.
But active ETFs? "It's going to
be a while," Mann says, "before we
have enough historical data to
show whether they offer any ad-
vanthge over passive ETFs or
not."
There are plenty of other obsta-
cles.for active ETFs, and ETFs in
general. They've barely made a
dent in 401(k)s, in part because
plan administrators' back offices
haven't adjusted operations to
handle the unique way ETFs are
bought and sold.
Despite ETFs' complexities, it
could be just a matter of time be-


fore 401(k)s adapt to include ETFs
on their investment menus.
"Retirement and ETF
providers have been hard at work
to solve the operational issues,"
said Rob Ivanoff, an analyst with
Financial Research Corp.
However, with more ETFs em-
bracing active management, their
cost advantage over most mutual
funds could erode. Actively man-
aged mutual funds' average ex-
pense ratio - the ongoing
charges that investors pay, ex-
pressed as a percentage of assets
- now stands at 1.25 percent, ac-
cording to Morningstar Inc. The
average is just 0.56 for all ETFs.
The five actively managed ETFs
already on the market that focus
on stocks are a bit pricier, carry-
ing expenses of 0.75 percent to
0.80 percent.
But keep in mind: Even though
ETFs can be traded daily, unlike
mutual funds, the risks and bene-
fits are much the same.
"They don't offer any tremen-
dously greater risk based on their
structure, and they're not magic
bullets for ordinary investors,"
said Fox, of Strategic Insight
"They are tools you can use with
or without mutual funds to put to-
gether a diversified investment
portfolio. The more good choices
out there, the better."

Documentary about workers draws ire
Associated Press


LOS ANGELES - A doc-
umentary on Nicaraguan
banana workers who
claimed they became sterile
from pesticides is set for its
American premiere on Sat-
urday- unless a threatened
lawsuit stops the show.
Swedish filmmaker
Fredrik Gertten's film "Ba-
nanas!" might now be more
appropriately punctuated
with a question mark after a
judge declared its star, a Los
Angeles lawyer, a fraud for
recruiting plaintiffs to lie.
Attorney Juan J.
Dominguez previously won a
$1.5 million award for the
p�urp.owrted workers before
being discredited by Supe-.
rior Court Judge Victoria
Chaney as the engineer of a
massive scheme targeting
Dole Food Co. in cases in the
U.S. and Central America.
The cases sought more than
$40 billion in damages.
The fraud was not uncov-
ered until the film was fin-
ished, and questions are
swirling about whether the
filmmaker has an ethical ob-
ligation to change the docu-
mentary
The Los Angeles Film Fes-
tival has pulled the docu-
mentary from contention for
a prize. It also plans a dis-
cussion about the perils of
wrapping a documentary
production before a story
has reached its conclusion.
Festival director Rebecca
Yeldham did not immedi-
ately return a phone mes-
sage seeking comment
Friday.
Gertten, 53, stands by the
film and his experiences in-
terviewing workers. in
Nicaragua.
"I haven't seen any fraud.
If I saw it, I would publish it,"
he said. "This film is valid. I
hope Dole will understand it
is a legitimate piece of work
... I believe in freedom of
speech and telling the story
as I saw it"
Gertten would not provide
an advance copy of the
movie to The Associated
Press. However, a trailer on
his Web site shows a man in
his coffin with a voiceover
from one of his relatives say-
ing: "Every time a banana
worker who was exposed to
this chemical dies, that is a
victory for Dole. Every death
. is another victory.. "
Dole attorney Theodore
Boutrous Jr said Gertten has
refused to let Dole represen-
tatives see the film before it
is screened.
"This isn't complex and it
isn't remotely a free speech
or artistic expression issue,"
Boutrous said.
"Mr. Gertten got duped,
but he won't admit it and in-
stead apparently is intent on
screening a knowingly false
film."
Dole has threatened to
sue for defamation if the film
is shown and then distrib-
uted commercially
"Bananas!" which has the
subtitle "On Trial for Mal-
ice," documents the plight of
workers who say they were


Associated Press
This still image taken from the documentary "Bananas!" provided by WG Film shows a
crop dusting plane spraying pesticide on a field of produce. The film by Fredrik Gertten is
about claims by purported Nicaraguan banana workers that they were harmed by a pes-
ticide used on Dole plantations In the 1970s and a trial which was held on the issue. But
what is not included in the film is a series of recent post-trial hearings in which a California
judge concluded that the claims brought by a Los Angeles lawyer, Juan J. Dominguez,
were a massive fraud designed to extort millions from Dole.


made sterile by the pesticide
DBCP used on Dole banana
plantations in the 1970s.
It uses footage of a trial
against Dole and details the
efforts of Dominguez-to help
the workers.
An advance review in the
LA Weekly says the film por-
trays Dominguez as "the un-
q u.e s t i o n e d
man-of-the-people hero,"
seeking justice for down-
trodden workers.
But Judge Chaney said
Dominguez and his
.Nicaraguan counterpart re-
cruited men to pretend they
had been banana workers
and to make false allegations
against Dole.
Chaney heard testimony
that the men recruited by
Dominguez were given false
work histories and schooled
in what it would have been
like to work on a plantation.
Some denied fathering their
own children in their at-
tempt to prove sterility.
The judge said if she had
known the extent of the
fraud, she would have
stopped the trial over which
she presided - the same
trial depicted in the movie.
The case is now being ap-
pealed. Chaney dismissed
two other similar cases
brought by Dominguez after
hearing testimony.
"Contrary to their sworn
testimony, most of the plain-
tiffs never worked on Dole-.
affiliated banana farms and
.none were involved in the
DBCP application process,"
Chaney wrote in a 60-page
dismissal ruling issued
Wednesday.
"These plaintiffs and their
counsel were part of a
broader conspiracy that per-
meates all DBCP litigation
arising from Nicaragua," it
said.
Chaney was shown the
trailer for the movie but said
she would not intercede in
its release because that
would be impermissible
prior restraint on free
speech.
Dominguez's lawyer,
Michael McCarthy, has told-
the AP his client is not being
treated fairly by the court.


Filmmaker Fredrik Gertten, producer of "Bananas!," poses
Friday in Los Angeles.


He would not comment fur-
ther.
Gertten said he is a former
journalist who has produced
or directed more than 20
documentaries, most of
them on human interest sub-
jects. He said "Bananas!"
was made with support from
a number.of public broad-
casting companies across-
Europe and the Sundance
Channel.
"I'm not an activist film-
maker," he said, adding he
was drawn to the subject
when he heard that former
banana workers had been
camped outside the
Nicaraguan Parliament in
Managua for years demand-
ing justice for being harmed
by pesticides. He went there
to see for himself.
Gertten said that if the ac-
cusations against
Dominguez are true, "Of
course it's terrible, but it's a
complex situation."
In light of the controversy,
-film festival directors re-
moved "Bananas!" from
competition and placed it on


the program as a case study.
Viewers at the planned
screening will be given writ-
ten material about the de-
velopments in the case and
hear a statement that at-
tempts to place the film's
subject matter in context
with Chaney's ruling. It will
be followed by a discussion
of the plight of a documen-
tarian when a story contin-
ues to develop after the film
is completed.
Gertten has also added a
written card at the end ex-
plaining that the case de-
picted is on appeal and
there are ongoing develop-
ments.
He repeatedly cited Judge
Chaney's remark in her ini-
tial ruling that because of
the fraud, "We will never
know what happened in
Nicaragua."
Asked if he now feels vic-
timized by Dominguez, Gert-
ten said, "Right now, I'm
being victimized by Dole
Food Co. I have to find out
what really happened.
Maybe that's my next film."


New net timer could

save sea turtles


Associated Press

BOURNE, Mass. - Fish-
ery managers trying to pro-
tect rare sea turtles from
dying in fishing nets have
tapped a Cape Cod company
to build a device they think
can help balance turtle pro-
tection with profitable fish-
ing.
The "tow-time logger" is a
7-inch, silver cylinder that
attaches to fishing nets and
records how long the net
stays underwater.
That time is crucial if a
turtle gets snared in the nets
dragged , behind fishing
trawleis. 'Federal research
indicates the vast majority
of sea turtles survive entan-
glement - but only if the
net is pulled up in less than
50 minutes. .
With the logger, regulators
can avoid other, potentially
more onerous, restrictions
on perpetually struggling
fishermen - such as shut-
ting down fishing areas or
requiring turtle-saving gear
that doesn't work well in all
nets. In fisheries where they
decide time limits would
work best, they wouldn't
have to depend on an honor
system to make sure nets
are pulled up in time.
"Turtles have also been
around since the time of the
dinosaurs," said Elizabeth
Griffin of the environmental
group, Oceana. "They're
cool animals that I think
most people want to see
continue to exist"
The logger was built
under a $25,000 federal con-
tract with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration by Onset
Computer Corp., a Bourne-
based supplier of data log-
gers : for energy and
environmental monitoring.
It starts recording water
depth every 30 seconds
once the net drops below
two meters. If the net stays
under beyond a preset time
limit, the logger records it,
and the infraction can be
discovered when regulators
download its data.
The device's early tests at
sea have been successful,
and work is ongoing to
toughen it for the real-life
rigors, such as being
banged on fishing boat
decks. The company ex-
pects it to cost between
$600 and $800, an expense
that would fall to fisher-
men.
Even when the logger is
perfected, regulators know
limiting how long the nets
stay underwater is no cure-
all as they devise rules,
which they hope to propose
for public comment by 2010,
to meet a new federal re-
quirement to protect sea
turtles from trawler fishing
nets.
Some environmentalists
say turtles shouldn't be kept
underwater at all because
even relatively short times
of being trapped underwa-
ter without oxygen hurt


them.
Griffin says there's also
not enough data on how
trapped turtles fare in
colder waters, so no one re-
ally knows how long they
can be kept under and sur-
vive.
The data logger at least
makes briefer tow times a
feasible way to protect tur-
tles, if researchers can sort
out what's safe, she said.
Fishermen are skeptical.
They say short tows aren't
practical in most fisheries,
such as those in deeper wa-
ters, where a worthw14ie
catch is impossible if'fth
nets must constantly,,; be
pulled up.
"It's a bad idea," said
James Fletcher, a veteran
fisherman and now head of
the North Carolina-based
United National Fisher-
man's Association.
"Nobody's going to love
the idea," acknowledged
Henry Milliken, a biologist
with the National Marine
Fisheries Service, which is
part of NOAA. But he added
fishermen might prefer lim-
its on how long the net can
be underwater to.harsher
alternatives, such as closing
fishing areas.
"The idea is that we're
looking at providing options
to the managers in the fu-
ture," Milliken said.
As the NMFS tries to de-
termine which steps will or
won't work, it's held public
meetings this spring from
New York to Georgia.
The turtle most fre-
quently caught in trawl nets
in the Atlantic is the logger-
head, the threatened 250-
pound giants named for
their relatively large heads.
In U.S. waters, every sea
turtle is listed as either en-
dangered or threatened, so
any turtle deaths in fishing
nets hit the populations
hard.
The most common way to
protect turtles right now is
the Turtle Excluder Device,
often a circular, barred
frame attached near the
front of fishing nets, The
bars are big enough for fish
and other sea life to slip
through, but too narrow for
turtles, which bounce out of
the net before they get
caught
The excluder devices
have had success in some
fisheries, including the
Southeast's shrimp trawl
fishery, but bigger species,
such as horseshoe crab,
monkfish and flounder, can
bounce out along with the
turtles and make the nets
far too inefficient.
Greg DiDomenico of the
Garden State Seafood Asso-
ciation, a New Jersey trade
group, said since the new
rules will apply to fisheries
from Cape Cod to Florida
- where the turtles swim
- whatever shakes out is
bound to be felt industry-
wide. That includes "huge
negative impacts on some
fisheries," he said,

Those who know Hemando-
Pasco Hospice as a community
organization to which they can
turn when faced with a life-limit-
ing illness can expect to con-
tinue to receive care, comfort
and support regardless of ability
to pay. However, as the not-for-
profit agency recognizes its 25th
anniversary this week (June 15,
2009), its name officially be-
comes HPH Hospice (HPH).
'When the State of Florida
granted us a Certificate of Need
to serve Citrus County residents
in 2005, our former name no
longer reflected our service
area," said Tom Barb, HPH Hos-
pice president and chief execu-
tive officer. "Still, we wanted to
retain a large part of our legacy
while building a bridge from the
past to the present and on into
the future." Barb added that the
hospice's board of directors
unanimously approved the new
name in January and that it has


been accepted by the Agency for
Health Care Administration. The
hospice's long-standing teal logo
has been updated to green and
gold. The candle, which Barb
said has been the agency's key
identifier, is still the "i" in hospice
but has been given a more con-
temporary look. HPH began with
a handful of volunteers and staff
in 1984 who served all of Pasco
and Hemando counties. One of
them was Anne Huette, who is
now Regional Director for HPH
Hospice in Citrus County. When
HPH Hospice began serving Cit-
rus County, it had a small office
in Lecanto. In February 2007,
HPH opened its Citrus Hospice
Care.Center and a month later,
moved into a new office in Bev-
erly Hills to better accommodate a
growing number of volunteers in
staff. A HPH Hospice House
opened in February 2008 in
Lecanto. The agency's Hospice
House is primarily intended for
hospice patients who do not
have a caregiver. "Over the past
quarter of a century, HPH has
emerged as one of the largest
not-for-profit hospices in the
United States, caring for an av-
erage of 1,000 patients daily,"
said Barb. In total, HPH has
seven team offices, four Hospice
Houses, five Hospice Care Cen-
ters, a pharmacy and durable
medical equipment company,
two thrift stores and a not-for-
profit home health affiliate called
HPH Home Health.

Google tricycle snaps views from Philly campus


Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA - Coming
soon to a campus near you - the
Google tricycle.
A pedicab-like vehicle
mounted with an 8-foot-high
camera has been rolling around
the pedestrian walkways of the
University of Pennsylvania to
collect panoramic images of the
campus for Google Maps' Street
View feature, which gives users
detailed, street-level views of
map locations over the Internet.
Google Inc. has been using car-
mounted cameras' to prowl
streets in the U.S. and around
the world. The human-powered
version allows coverage of
pedestrian-only areas on cam-
puses, in public parks and at
theme parks, as well as along
hiking and bicycling trails, -as
Google seeks to expand coverage
of its maps.
The effort comes as Google
faces complaints from many in-
dividuals and institutions that
have been photographed around
the world. Since launching in
2007, Street View has expanded
to more than 100 cities world-
wide.
Danny Sullivan, editor-in-chief
of the industry news site Search
Engine Land, called the new ef-
fort a good public relations move
by Google.
"This is a nice way for them to
say 'Hey, look, Street View: It's
really warm and fuzzy,"' he said.
"It's not just about, taking pic-
tures of people's houses. We can
find these footpaths that people
want to go on and walling areas,
places people will like."
Officials say the photos of
Penn's tree-lined Locust Walk
mall and other places will allow
prospective students and their
parents to get a good feel for the
campus, give incoming students
a way to map out the best route
to their classes - and.let alumni
fondly remember their school
days.


"We see this as an opportunity
.. for people to see as much of
Penn as possible from their com-
puter," said Marie Witt, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania vice-
president for business services.
"Students can show their parents
where they're living, where the
student union is, where their fa-
vorite classroom building is."
The 250-pound vehicle, which
resembles the pedicabs that
carry tourists around Philadel-
phia and other cities, has the cy-
clist pumping the pedals up
front, with the camera mounted
on a tower in the back. On the
rear is a red generator along
with a large white chest that
looks like it might dispense ice
cream but actually contains the
computer recording the digital
images.
On Friday, the tricycle trun-
dled through the Ivy League
school quads enclosed by stu-
dent housing buildings and along
campus footpaths, drawing
stares from students and em-
ployees.
"I think it's fantastic," said
Caitlin Hanrahan, 28, a nursing
student. "This campus is really
confusing ... and when you try
and explain to people how to get
to the building, people get lost all
the time. I think something like
that, where you can see a picture
of it and what you have to walk
through to get there, would actu-
ally be really helpful.
Lyndsey Hauck, 25, eating Chi-
nese takeout on a bench in front
of a green campus pond, dove for
her cell phone to grab a picture
as the tricycle apparatus
swooped by, ignored by ducks
and turtles even after it got stuck
on the path and needed a slight
push. -
"Pretty cool - always kind of
interested in how they've done it,
so now we know," said her com-
panion, Cody Strohl, 29, also a
Penn employee.
The tricycle has also been
cruising around other colleges


Classifieds


and universities, including Penn
State, San Diego State and the
University of San Diego, Google
spokesman Sean Carlson said.
It has also been seen cruising
past Rome's Trevi fountain, at
Santa Monica's Third Street
promenade and pier and along a
Monterey, Calif. bicycle trail.
Soon, views will be featured
from along walkways of theme
parks such as Legoland near
Carlsbad, Calif., Carlson said.
In other countries, privacy
concerns have been raised about
the images.
Mountain View, Calif.-based
Google this week acceded to Ger-
man demands to erase the raw
footage of faces,.house numbers,
license plates and individuals
who have told authorities they
do not want their information
used in the service.
Last month, Greek officials re-
jected a bid to photograph the
nation's streets until more pri-
vacy safeguards are provided. In
April, residents of one English
village formed a human chain to
stop a camera van, and in Japan
the company agreed to reshoot
views taken by a camera high
enough to peer over fences.
Witt said university officials
escorting -the Google teams
around campus were working to
make sure privacy concerns
were addressed. The company
says faces and license plates will
be blurred, and anyone can
quickly flag for removal images
they consider inappropriate by
clicking a box on the bottom of
each page.
,One of the tricycle operators,
Martin D.E Angelo, 27, said the
camera occasionally gets a leery
reaction from older people but
seems universally embraced by
the young.
"The biggest disappointment
that most people seem to voice is
that we're actually going to blur
out their faces," he said, "so
they're not going to be Internet-
famous or something like that."

Google cartographer Dexter Harris rides a tricycle equipped with cam
eras Friday through the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia. The internet search engine has started taking pictures at
the University of Pennsylvania so that it can add college campuses to its
Google Maps service.

CIMtS CoukiY (ML) CHIRONICLE


Small frugal choices can add up to big savings


F rugality is about
choices. Frequent
small expenditures
can leave you wondering
where your money has gone.
Ever backtrack your pur-
chases and. discover you
didn't lose that $20 after all?
Tracking your spending will
pinpoint your money leaks,
and wise consistent choices
will help improve your sav-
ings, too. It's as simple as
adopting new, painless and
cheaper alternatives to your
old, automatic spending
ways. For example, Lindsay
in Alabama shares: "I've
discovered the wonder of
coconut oil mixed with corn-
starch and baking soda
(about 1/4 cup of each,
mixed with enough.coconut
oil to make it not powdery)
and will notbe going back to
regular deodorant!"
Here are a few more
cheap options.
LESS PAPER: It's easy to
swap out paper towels and
napkins in favor of cloth.


You can make
your own from
older towels,
sheets, etc. It
seems the biggest
excuse to keep
paper is ... how in
the world do you
drain bacon?
Easy. Use a splat-
ter screen, and Sara
drain the bacon FRL
grease back into LIV
your frying pan or
use a wire rack
over a cookie sheet
FABRIC SOFTENER: Di-
lute liquid fabric softener or
cheap hair conditioner with
water, and place in a spray
bottle or plastic container,
such as a baby-wipes con-
tainer. Use the spray bottle
of softener and spritz a
washcloth, or soak the cloth
in the plastic container,
wring it out and toss into the
dryer. You can use 1/4 cup
vinegar in your washer's
dispenser or reuse a Downy
Ball by refilling it with vine-

gar. If you miss
the scent, add a
few drops of es-
sential oil.
One reader,
Karen in Kansas,
. recommends a
cheaper option:
"Ifyou have prob-
lems with static,
Noel there are ways to
GAL help reduce it
ING Static is a sign
you are overdry-
ing your clothing,
so reduce the drying time.
Keep a spritz bottle of water
at hand, and, when you open
the dryer, give the contents a
few spritzes to break the
static charge. You can also
add a wet washcloth and
start the dryer for a few tum-
bles to rehydrate the air and
break the static charge. Fab-
rics that are made from syn-
thetics are great at creating
static, so remove them from
the dryer before the load is


completely. dry; or hang
them on a hanger, drying
rack or line to dry." Previ-
ously, I've mentioned using
homemade wool dryer balls,
too. If you missed it, you can
find the recipe at www.fru-
galvillage.net/2009/05/14/find
-washing-soda-in-local-
stores.
FOOD: Look at the pack-
aged foods you buy and re-
create them yourself. Try
frugal recipes on my Web.
site, such as homemade
soups, salad dressings,
marinades, waffles, pita
bread, granola bars, cookies
or your own homemade
pudding.
IME
Swap parties have re-
gained popularity because
of the economy. Many peo-
ple don't have a lot of money
to throw parties, and if they
do, maybe their friends
don't. It works well whether
you're going through a tough


time or not, and no one has
to know if you are. It's a
great way to get together for
a home party without hav-
ing to sell or buy anything. It
saves money and is eco-
friendly, too. People are put-
ting a modern twist on it.
Here's how.
GREEN AND FRUGAL
PARTY: Guests make home-
made cleaners, such as
laundry soap or fun kid
recipes, such as homemade
play dough or finger paint
One reader, Lori in Illinois,
shares: "Bring all of those
extra, unused (greeting)
cards from years past and
exchange them. Everyone
gets new cards. Each person
gets to take home as many
cards as they bring. Suggest
they try to bring a total of 25
cards. Everyone puts then
in a box when they enter.
Pass the box around while
you have coffee. Let every-
one choose five, and pass it


around until all the cards
are gone. You can have a
craft exchange, too. Have
each guest makes five of
their favorite crafts. At the
exchange, everyone gets
one craft from each person.
Now all of you have just
done some of your gift shop-
ping for the year."
ORGANIZING PARTY:
Everyone helps the hostess
organize closets or the play-
room, for example, and the
guest "helpers" can divvy up
any castoffs. The idea isn't
to get something. You simply
get together with friends,
have some snacks, catch up,
help out and have fun. It's a
great excuse to rent a chick
flick, too.
DVDS, CDS, BOOKS AND
GAMES SWAP: You might
have these items sitting
around collecting dust They
often have poor trade-in or

Get in touch with



nature this summer


On hot summer days when it seems
like there is no relief in sight from
the scorching sun, there are some
cool, fun outdoor adventures to
enjoy. Think of paddling down
a river! There are few activities
more refreshing in the summer
months than being close to the
water, paddling down one of
Citrus County's many water- " -.
ways.
Paddling is great exercise
and definitely affords you the Joan Bi
ability to be closer to nature Joan
than a lot of other activities. In FLO0
many cases you will be able to FRIE
travel to and see sights only ac- LIV
cessible to a very small per-
centage of the population.
Canoeing or kayaking definitely provide
an avenue for up-close and personal ex-
periences with nature that can be found in
few other places.
Citrus County is rich in natural re-
sources and one of the great paddling ad-
venture opportunities is along the
Withlacoochee River. This river originates
in central Florida's Green Swamp, east of


Polk City, and is one of the few rivers that
flow north, twisting and bending through
the sand hill area as it moves northwest,
finally empting into the Gulf of
Mexico near Yankeetown. The
Withlacoochee River is 86 miles
long and has.a drainage basin of
1,170 square miles.
The Withlacoochee River is
. ^ officially designated as part of
Florida's statewide system of
greenways and trails. Canoeists
and kayakers enjoy a wide vari-
adshaw ety of habitats that offer oppor-
IDA- tunities for nature study.
NDLY Wildlife is abundant along the
!NG river. Deer, turkey, otter and al-
ING ligator are common. Wood duck,
wood stork, white ibis and an-
hinga can also be seen along the trail. The
diversity of the vegetation and wildlife is a
reflection of the constantly changing ter-
rain of the river. Beginning in cypress and
hardwood swamp, it progresses through
upland hardwood and pine forests, past
cypress ponds, palmetto hammocks and
landscaped backyards. Hardwood forests

When the time comes to

Cedar gives garden rustic flair


KATHERINE FREY/Washington Post
.... Nancy and Pierre Moitrier fashioned wood from red cedar trees to create
their elaborate garden enclosure. RIGHT: The Moitrier's tree house, outside of An-
napolis, Md., appears to rise out of a garden fence, which is draped in Dortmund
climbing rose.

Couple collaborate on unique vision


ADRIAN HIGGINS.

some native evergreen but apt
to become a bit weedy if left to.
its own devices. A meadow can
change over 20 years from an open
field to a thicket of cedars reaching
15 to 20 feet Enter Pierre Moitrier.
Moitrier, who runs a landscape de-
sign and gardening firm with his
wife, Nancy, is always looking for sur-
plus trees to cull. He gets them from
countryside clients or developers
about to clear land for building. The
trunks and larger branches are har-
vested to become a lumber of rustic
charm. Spared the mill saw, the wood
is round and still clothed in its
stringy bark even as it is used to
make fences, trellising and railing for
the couple's jewel of a garden in a
suburb of Annapolis. The structures
form a skilled puzzle of branches and
boughs, assembled to suggest Gothic
arches and chevrons or Chinese
Chippendale motifs.
The cedar-branch masterpiece is


the enclosure for the vegetable gar-
den, 25 feet by 25 feet, and 8 feet
high. Built to keep out deer, it may be
the prettiest critter fence in the
parish. The cedar (botanically a ju-
niper) yields two basic shapes -the
straight, tapered trunk and curving,
twisting branches. The fence consists
of straight posts and rails that frame
the organic lines of the branches.
Pierre Moitrier grew up in central
France, so the notion of a traditional
rustic craft is in the blood. It is labor-
intensive nonetheless. Each tree
takes time to dismember, and a high
fence consumes a lot of wood. He
used about 100 trees for the veg-
etable garden enclosure.
He built it in 2004, two years after
the couple moved in to their rambler
on a corner lot, and the rot-resistant
cedar has held up well. Some of the
bark has been stolen. "Squirrels strip
the bark to line their nest," Moitrier
said. He is intent on showing me the
nest, a journey that first involves
climbing an orchard ladder. The lad-

der leads to another
striking feature in, or
rather, above, the land-
scape.
High in a sweet gum
tree, Moitrier has con-
structed an' enchanting
tree house. From the out-
side, the siding retains
the red stain of its original
incarnation, as a tobacco
barn on terra firma. It is
capped with a cedar
shake roof with four
dormers. Inside is a cozy
perch from which to view
the garden, or to sit and
dream of one's childhood.
The dominant feature
is the block-like bark of
the tree trunk, actually
two trunks that have
melded where they
cross, and on one is the
vestige of a squirrel nest
For the Moitriers, the
tree house is a piece of
whimsy, a folly that gives
additional character to
the garden, but it is also a
neighborhood landmark
"So many people get a
kick out of it," said Pierre
Moitrier. "We had a lady
who would set up an
easel across the street
and painted the tree
house." He enjoys its.
Tolkienesque feel' and
loves to be in it when the
wind is blowing. "It
sounds like a boat, creak-
ing," said Nancy Moitrier.
"It's quite wonderful."
All this talk of Pierre
Moitrier's handiwork
may suggest a landscape
defined mainly by cute


structures, but this is
foremost a garden of
plants. He works with
stone and wood, and
Nancy Moitrier is a gar-
den designer and horti-
culturist. (Their
company is called De-
signs for Greener Gar-
dens.) They met 10 years
ago in London. She was
studying English gar-
dens; he was working in
a restaurant
In their seven years at
the house, they have
transformed an ordinary
corner lot into a garden
of memorable charm
and inspiration. Origi-
nally, the edge of the

One of the most uplift-

moist It is bordered by a
path of 40 huge land-
scape stones, some
weighing as much as 600
pounds. They are essen-
tially steppingstone
through a low-lying wet
area. The edge of the ad-
joining bed has been
graded to steer rainwa-

and the stones keep the
feet high and dry.
It must be the French

garden is especially
charming, and not just
for its cedar fence. It is
framed with masses of
strawberry plants begin-
ning to fruit. Inside the
garden, the heirloom
tomatoes are safely in,
the salad greens are col-

draped with two classy
rose climbers. The later-

horse New Dawn, the
other a distinctly under-

Dortmund. It is smoth-

crimson blooms and
looks fabulous. "It does-

save money or just for
frugal fun. They are held
at the host's home, li-
brary or church. Addi-
tional swap-party ideas
include plants, seeds and


perennials, baby gear
and toys, budget recipes,
coupons and home decor
PLAN IT: You should
have criteria such as
how many items each
guest brings and in what
order guests can ex-
change their items. For
example, you-can draw
names from a hat. Cate-
gorize items according to
value, and do a one-for-


one exchange. If a guest
brings more expensive
items to exchange, she
can swap for more ex-
pensive items someone
else brought. And if
there are two people in-
terested in a single item,
you can do a random
drawing to decide who
gets it, or have an auc-
tion with proceeds going
to charity. All items


brought to the party
should be in good condi-
tion because the left-
overs are often donated
to charity, too.

A kitchen-inventory
list helps you to plan and


organize your meals. You
waste less, too. It can be
as easy as using a dry-
erase board, notebook or
printable sheets; you can

do an excellent job of removing algae
stains. Oxygen bleaches are materials
that release oxygen for cleaning and
bleaching of stains when mixed with
water.
There are two types of powdered oxy-
gen bleaches available to the consumer,
sodium percarbonate and sodium
perborate. Sodium percarbonate is'
used in deck-, carpet-, household- and
laundry-cleaning products. Sodium
perborate is used mostly in automatic
dishwashing and laundry products as a
hot-water bleaching agent
Products such as Spray and Forget,
Stain Solver, Oxyclean, Oxygen Boost,
Clorox Oxygen Action and Natural
Oxygen Bleach all work well at re-
moving stains. An excellent Web site


that helps to explain how and what to
use on algae stains is my friend Danny
Lipford's site, www.dannylipford.
com/diy-home-improvement/remove-
prevent-algae-stains-asphalt-shingle.
Also check out www.inspect-
ny.com/roof/ShingleMoss.htm for addi-
tional information. i
Once the shingles are free of algae,
to prevent its future growth, metal zinc
strips can be installed at the peak of
the roof that will leach out zinc oxide
whenever it rains. For more informa-
tion, go to www.chicagometallic.com.

me. I would really like to know what
the artist was re-creating, and when it
was made. Can you tell me about it, or
direct me to a place to learn more? -
G.R., Internet
Dear G.R.: There is considerable in-
terest in 20th-century modern Danish
decorative arts. At this point all I can
say is the lipstick case was made in the
20th century. In order to help you fur-
ther, I need a couple of good clear pho-
tographs.
Dear John: I am wondering if you
can help. I was just cleaning out my
parents' basement and came across a
one-pint bottle from the Charlotte
Home Dairy in Charlotte, Mich. Do
you know if this is trash or treasure?
The bottle is in nice condition. It is
clean with no chlps and has a large
letter "F" on the bottom. - D., Inter-
net
Dear D.: The one-pint bottle you
have is in the Milk Bottle collecting
. category. There is a collectors club,
'The National Association of Milk Bot-


tie Collectors, www.milkbottlecollec-
tors.com. It might be a small treasure
to a collector interested in Michigan
dairy bottles, perhaps someone look-
ing for a Charlotte dairy. Potential dol-
lar value is below $10.

The key to a tree's good
health, growth and
development is
proper care and mainte-
nance. Mainte-
nance pruning is
the most common
type of pruning.
In the urban
landscape situa-
tion, pruning is
necessary, not -z
only for the
health of the tree,
but for the safety
of our homes and Kerry-
property. - T
Maintenance ARB
prunmng consists
of removal of
dead, dying or cross
branches. To get rid of any
parasites on the tree, thin-
ning out trees and selective
removal of interior
branches is also very bene-
ficial.
Thinning out trees allows
greater air and light pene-
tration. It also. reduces
weight; therefore helping
the stability of the structure
of the tree in windstorms.
However, removing too
much foliage from a tree is
not recommended.
Understanding how or
why a tree needs pruning is

very important for the
health of a tree.
. A commonly asked ques-
tion is "When is the best time
to prune?" The
answer depends
on what species
of the tree we are
talking about. If
your trees have
not been properly
pruned in a few
years, or have not
been pruned at
all, now would be
�reider a good time.
IE If your trees
tRIST are in need of
regular mainte-
nance pruning,
this can be done any time of
the year for most species. To
help ensure the survival of
our trees, they must be
properly cared for.

tem to keep track of what
you have on hand. One ex-
ample can be found on my
forums at www.frugalvil-
lage.com/forums/showthrea
d.php?t120035. The first tip
below is a quick way to keep
track at a glance and add va-
riety, too.
FOOD CODE: If I bought
Burbank/Idaho potatoes last
time, I'll try to buy red pota-
toes this time. The same for
eggs - I try and buy white
and then brown and then
white. Also works for apples,
pears and such. I do this to
help me use the oldest food
first If the old potatoes are
nearly gone and they're red,
then I get Burbank. It's re-
ally-obvious to me when I go
to grab a potato what's the
oldest. Same with eggs and
onions. The eggs, onions and
potatoes are where I use this
the most - Judi, New
Hampshire
REUSE PLASTIC BAGS:
I love to do jigsaw puzzles
(1,000 pieces and up), and I
keep a lot of them to work
again later. I hate losing the
pieces, so I use the gallon-
size plastic baggies for stor-
ing the pieces. They work
great because I sometimes

out of state, and this way I
know she will have all the
pieces. - Cat, Ohio
STRETCH DISH SOAP:
Everything today is "con-
centrated." But I noticed
that my kids overuse the
dish detergent. When they
do dishes, we can go
through a bottle in a week.
When I do it, the bottle lasts
for a couple months. I
learned a trick. I save an
empty bottle. I fill it one-
quarter with the detergent
and then top with water. Ah,
but it's watery, no one likes
watery soap. So add 1/2 to 1
teaspoon salt to it, and
shake it up. It will gel again.
I use dish detergent for
hand soap and do the same
'thing. My husband has to
use two pumps, what a.
waste. But once reduced
like this, he's using really a.
half squirt, if that One bot-
tle now lasts two to three
months. - Noella, Canada
HOMEMADE BABY
FOOD: I finalized my adop-
tion. I am the new mother of
a 9-month-old. I remember
trying to save money when
my others were little, and I
made my own baby food.
.Well, I did it again. This
time, I pureed a bag of peas,
green beans, potatoes and
chicken. All of these were
separate. I took my muffin
