Traffic along U.S. 19 in Homosassa often takes three light changes to get through the Grover Cleveland Boulevard
intersection on a weekday. Weekends can be even worse, as cars snarl the intersection with travelers and tourists
coming to spend a weekend in Citrus County.


Motorists asked

Parkway tolls
MIKE WRIGHT
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL RIVER- It's a fine-line
question of economics.
Florida's Turnpike Enterprise
wants to know how much Citrus
County motorists would pay if any-
thing- in tolls on the proposed Sun-
coast Parkway 2 to avoid traffic
congestion on north-south highways
such as U.S. 19.
If the toll is too high, motorists will
stay away If it's too low, the parkway
won't generate enough revenue to
support itself.
"We need to know what contribu-
tion toward funding could be ex-
pected from toll revenues," Turnpike
Enterprise project manager Dave
Wood said.
So the state is asking motorists
directly
Hundreds of people have already
responded to an elaborate online
survey designed to zero in on toll
amounts motorists would pay to
travel certain distances in Citrus

The Turnpike Enterprise survey is trying to gauge potential usage of the
Suncoast Parkway 2 in Citrus County. The parkway ends south of the Citrus
County line.


County
Resources Systems Group Inc. has
a $138,900 contract with Turnpike
Enterprise to conduct the survey The
company has conducted similar sur-
veys to gauge interest in other toll
roads or toll lanes on Interstate 75.
Plans for Suncoast 2, which would


connect the parkway just south of the

A peek at what NASA's new rover packed for Mars


Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. If you were packing
for Mars, what would you bring?
NASAs latest tourist, the roving robot
named Curiosity, will lug around a suite of
gadgets to snap pictures, sniff, taste and
even drill. It will study the environment to
figure out whether the giant crater where it
lands ever possessed a habitable environ-
ment for microbial life.
The six-wheel, nuclear-powered rover is
far more tech-savvy than anything that has
landed before on the red planet. Here's a
glimpse of some of the cool things Curios-
ity can do:
It carries a laser that can zap a hole in
rocks up to about 25 feet away and identify

and-shoot strategy saves time because if a
rock looks boring, Curiosity can roll on.
Its 7-foot-long robotic arm has a power

soil. Like a scientist in a laboratory, it can

Scott a hit



on blog


Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE Gov
Rick Scott shot back Satur-
day at opponents who have
sued and criticized his con-
servative agenda and was
cheered by an audience
who supports his efforts to
drug test welfare recipi-
ents, strip teachers of
tenure and make Florida
more business-friendly
Scott was a big hit ad-
dressing a gathering organ-
ized by the conservative
RedState blog, drawing
laughs several times as he
made fun of people who op-
pose his policies. The gover-
nor, whose approval rating
was 36 percent in a poll re-
leased last week, clearly was
in front of a friendly crowd
and he received a standing


ovation when he wrapped
up the speech.
"If you do conservative
things in Florida, now you get
sued," Scott said, adding he
gets criticized for spending
money on lawyers to defend
the laws. 'After they sue you
... then they say, 'Why are you
wasting state dollars?' Be-
cause it's the rightthingto do.
That's why you're doing it"
Scott has been sued over
laws that require drug test-
ing for welfare recipients,
create stricter voter regis-
tration rules, prevent doc-
tors from asking patients
about gun ownership, force
state workers to contribute
to their pension plans and
more. He was also sued for
ordering a purge of voter
rolls to make sure non-
citizens can't vote.

Palmer to replace
current APD director
Mike Hansen, a longtime
legislative staffer who has
served the past year as direc-
tor of the state Agency for
Persons with Disabilities, sub-
mitted his resignation Friday
and will be replaced by APD
Chief of Staff Barbara Palmer.
Hansen said in a resigna-
tion letter to Gov. Rick Scott
he has accepted a job in the
Senate, though he did not de-
tail the nature of the position.
Hansen has had a series
of budget-related jobs during
his career, including serving a
stint as director of former
Gov. Jeb Bush's Office of
Policy and Budget.
He said in the letter his
resignation would be effective
Aug. 20. "Serving as your
APD director has been a
tremendously rewarding pub-
lic service opportunity,"
Hansen wrote. "I have been
deeply moved by the courage
our customers and their fami-
lies demonstrate on a daily
basis as they strive to over-
come sometimes overwhelm-
ing challenges."
Palmer, who has been
APD's chief of staff since last
year, came to the agency
after working as an assistant
secretary for administration at
the Florida Department of
Children and Families.
APD, which serves people
with developmental disabili-
ties such as Down syndrome,
autism and cerebral palsy,
has grappled with a series of
budget problems in recent
years. The agency has run re-
peated deficits in its largest
service program, causing


Hansen and others to look for
ways to hold down costs.

TALLAHASSEE With
Education Commissioner
Gerard Robinson resigning
in the wake of a series of
public-relations miscues
and grading mistakes sur-
rounding Florida's high-
stakes testing and
accountability regimen, crit-
ics are sensing an opening
to change the direction of
the school-reform move-
ment in Florida.
Lawmakers and parent
organizations who want the
state to focus less on FCAT
results in evaluating schools
are trying to use the search
for a replacement for
Robinson who resigned
this week to spend more
time with his family as a
reason to re-evaluate the
system he oversaw
"It's a chance to throw out
the old status quo of high-


stakes testing and look at
what might be best for kids
and make some changes,"
said Kathleen Oropeza, one
of the founders of Fund Ed-
ucation Now, an advocacy
group.
Rep. Perry Thurston, a
Plantation Democrat set to
lead his party in the next
legislative session, was
more blunt.
"The FCAT has failed stu-
dents, teachers, and our
state," he said in a state-
ment responding to Robin-
son's resignation. "A new
state education commis-
sioner can help Florida in-
stall a better and broader
education accountability
system for every school re-
ceiving taxpayer dollars
that takes into account all
the things students and
teachers accomplish
throughout the year"

INVERNESS -After months of planning,
Girl Scout Cadettes Kellie Faulk and Alexis
Duca expressed relief Saturday as they sur-
veyed the incredible turnout at the inaugural
Kids' Expo at the Citrus County Auditorium.
The girls, who are earning their Silver
Award, decided to tackle a project that would
highlight services, activities and events for
children in Citrus County.
Duca, 13, said she was pleased with the
number of people wandering the auditorium,
looking at booths and enjoying the
entertainment.
The hardest part of the project was getting
people to respond, 14-year-old Faulk said.
But once people understood what the expo
was all about, momentum picked up.
Duca said the Kids' Expo put all the par-
ticipating businesses and organizations
geared toward children in one place so
parents can see what is available in
Citrus County
Before, she said she would hear disap-


in FCAT writing scores,
blamed on increased stan-
dards, and a revision to
school grades that changed
the marks for more than 200
schools after the grades
were released.
The PTA has pressed
members to send emails to
Gov Rick Scott encouraging
him and state Board of Edu-
cation members to appoint
"a Commissioner of Educa-
tion who values a well-
rounded, high quality public
education and reduces the
emphasis on high-stakes
testing." The emails have
poured into Scott's inbox.
Another email of unclear
origin that has shown up
several times in Scott's
inbox which can be publicly
viewed on the governor's
Sunburst email system -
hits many of the same notes.
"Commissioner Robin-
son's resignation will not
quiet the discontent of


pointment from both parents and children
because it felt as if there was nothing for
youths to do. However, judging from the more
than 20 exhibitors filling the auditorium,
Faulk and Duca agreed there is plenty to do.
Faulk said she and Duca hope to form a
board and keep the project going so they can
use it to earn their Gold Award. She admits
she is already bouncing around ideas in her
head for next year
Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 15, a website -
www.citruscountykids.com will be avail-
able listing different events, activities and
services for children in the county.
Eugenie Dexter, ballet instructor for Dance
Central in Inverness, said it was nice to see so
much interest from people at their booth.
"It's been great for getting the word out,"
April Metcalf, also with Dance Central, said.
Working quietly on a craft at her booth,
Georgette Bokash said the community was
"screaming" for something like the
Kids' Expo.
As a small businesswoman, Bokash said it
had been difficult to find time to promote her
paper-crafting services. Therefore, she


Floridians for current polit-
ically-driven reform ef-
forts," the letter begins.
Sen. Bill Montford, a Tal-
lahassee Democrat who also
serves as CEO of the Florida
Association of District
School Superintendents, is
not as critical of the FCAT as
some other Democrats, but
still said the state should re-
evaluate the test regardless
of Robinson's decision.
"Let's have a serious dis-
cussion about, is this the
best approach?" he said.
Even Scott recently ques-
tioned in off-the-cuff re-
marks whether Florida
might "test too much,"
though he hasn't elaborated
on that thought since, and
hasn't made any suggestion
that he is likely to push for a
major change in that area.
But Republicans seem un-
likely to budge from the re-
form effort that has formed
the backbone of their educa-


tion agenda since former
Gov Jeb Bush pushed ac-
countability during his
tenure. And Bush's Founda-
tion for Florida's Future re-
mains influential in school
debates in the Legislature.
Patricia Levesque, execu-
tive director of the founda-
tion, praised Robinson and
the state's high-stakes test-
ing model in a statement fol-
lowing the commissioner's
resignation.
"He kept Florida an edu-
cation-reform model for the
nation," Levesque said.
"Under his leadership,
Florida pushed forward
with important improve-
ments to its standards and
accountability system to bet-
ter prepare students for
success."
An overhaul of the state's
testing system is already on
the way as Florida and other
states move toward a more
standardized curriculum.


The coordinators of the Kids' Expo are Girl
Scout Cadettes Alexis Duca and Kellie Faulk,
who are earning their Girl Scout Silver Award.

thought the expo would be a great place to
reach her target audience: adults with
children.
"It's my opportunity to get exposure," she
said. "I thank the Girl Scouts who put it to-

FHP checkpoints throughout Citrus County this month


Special to the Chronicle

The Florida Highway Pa-
trol is conducting driver li-
cense and vehicle
inspection checkpoints
during the month of August
throughout the seven-
county region of Troop C
on the roadways listed
below.
Recognizing the danger
presented to the public by
defective vehicle equip-
ment, troopers will concen-
trate their efforts on
vehicles being operated
with defects such as bad


brakes, worn tires and de-
fective lighting equipment.
In addition, attention will be
directed to drivers who
would violate the driver li-
cense laws of Florida.
These checkpoints are
random, daytime operations
that typically delay mo-
torists for only a few
minutes.
Supervisors select the
time, location and duration
of the checkpoints on the
roadways listed below
based upon staffing,
weather and traffic
conditions.


Local checkpoints will
be on:
Citrus County Roads: 39,
470,480,486,488,490,490A,
491, 494; local roads: High-
lands Street, West Cardinal
Street, Century Boulevard,
Elkcam Boulevard, West
Pine Ridge Boulevard,
Dunkenfield Road, Rock
Crusher Road, North Croft
Avenue, West Seven Rivers
Drive, West Venable Street,
Pleasant Grove Road, Green

Avenue, Yulee Drive West,
North Citrus Springs Boule-
vard, Grover Cleveland,
Turner Camp Road, Is-
tachatta Road, West High-
land Street, Halls River
Road, and Old Floral City
Highway
The Patrol has found
these checkpoints to be an
effective means of enforcing
the equipment and driver li-
cense laws of Florida while
ensuring the protection of
all motorists.
If you have questions or


concerns, contact Sgt Steve
Gaskins at the Tampa FHP
Station at 813-215-1867 or

1999: The first in a series of reports is
published showing injecting transgenic
"Alzheimer" mice with beta-amyloid pre-
vents them from developing Alzheimer-
like brain changes.
2003: The Alzheimer's Association part-
ners with NIA to recruit participants for
the National Alzheimer's Disease Genet-
ics Study. The study is a federal initiative
to collect blood samples from families
with several members who developed
Alzheimer's disease late in life in order
to identify additional Alzheimer's risk
genes.


2004: Researchers at the Alzheimer's As-
sociation International Conference on
Alzheimer's Disease (AAICAD) share
their first report on an imaging agent
called Pittsburgh Compound B (PIB), a
major potential breakthrough in disease
monitoring and early detection.
2010: The Alzheimer's Association and its
partners in the Coalition Against Major
Diseases (CAMD) release a first-of-its
kind database of 4,000 patients who
participated in 11 pharmaceutical
industry-sponsored clinical trials of
Alzheimer's treatments. The combined
data will offer unprecedented power to
understand the course of Alzheimer's.
2010: The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) releases data showing
Alzheimer's disease is now the sixth-
leading cause of death in the United
States.
2011: Legislation establishes the first-ever
framework for a national strategic plan
to address the Alzheimer's crisis.

of the disease before seek-

often too late.
Current diagnosis of
Alzheimer's relies largely
on documenting a person's
mental deterioration be-
cause a definite diagnosis
can only be done by autopsy
once a person is dead.


Fisher did note a recent
positive step in Alzheimer's
research. This year, the
Obama administration es-
tablished legislation and
presented a national plan to
fight Alzheimer's. There
was no federal commitment
to Alzheimer's research be-
fore this year, Fisher said.


Now, a committee will be
formed to make recommen-
dations on what needs to be
done. One of the first steps,
Fisher said, will be encour-
aging the government to
spend more on studies.
However, as researchers
continue to make headlines
with new and fascinating


discoveries, DePetrillo said
finding a cure for the dis-
ease still appears far away
"It doesn't look like any-
thing is on the horizon," he
said.

ALZHEIMER'S SUPPORT GROUPS


Continued from Page Al
program specialist with the
Alzheimer's Association's
Florida Gulf Coast Chapter
The Florida Gulf Coast
Chapter covers 17 counties,
including Citrus. According
to the Florida Department of
Elder Affairs, about 172,000
persons with Alzheimer's
disease reside in the chap-
ter's coverage area, with an
estimated 6,553 of those
cases in Citrus County
Fisher, who has been a
program specialist for a little
more than seven years, said
many people incorrectly in-
terchange the terms demen-
tia and Alzheimer's.
"Dementia is not a dis-
ease. It's a group of symp-
toms," he said.
Simply put, Dominick De-
Petrillo, executive director of
the Alzheimer's Family Or-
ganization, said dementia is
the inability of the mind to
control the body The
Alzheimer's Family Organi-
zation services eight counties
containing more than 100,000
cases of Alzheimer's disease.
More than 100 different
conditions can disrupt a per-
son's memory function such
as thyroid problems, vitamin
deficiencies or Parkinson's
disease. But the best way to
have a clear idea of what
could be causing dementia is
to see a doctor, Fisher said.
Though there is no one
test that can show someone
has Alzheimer's, there are a
series of exams and evalua-
tions doctors can do to make
a diagnosis.
Nevertheless, Alzheimer's
disease accounts for 70 per-

Life section./Tuesdays

cent of most cases of demen-
tia. Starting at age 65, one in
eight people will be diag-
nosed with Alzheimer's dis-
ease. That number increases
(one in two) for individuals
older than 85. And with
many of the baby boomers
growing older, Fisher said,
the numbers are anticipated
to double every five years.
According to the
Alzheimer's Association,
Alzheimer's disease is a pro-
gressive brain disorder that
damages and eventually de-
stroys brain cells. The oblit-
eration of these cells leads to
loss of memory, thinking and
other brain functions, which
makes the ailment fatal.
"It is a very, very devastat-
ing disease," Fisher said.
While age is the most ac-
knowledged risk factor for
Alzheimer's, family history
and genetics, along with a
person's overall health and
lifestyle choices can all enter
into the equation.
People with Alzheimer's
usually live an average of
eight years after being diag-
nosed, though in some cases
people have been able to live
for as long 20 years with the
disease.
Usually, the early signs of
Alzheimer's involve a person
losing the ability to problem
solve, Fisher said. There
may also be increasing trou-
ble with planning and organ-
ization and issues with
short-term memory loss.
As the disease progresses,

able to help pay for the placement. Suggestions of
what to look for in finding a good facility.
* 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 22: Legal and Financial Is-
sues. Understand the importance of advance direc-
tives and of involving the person with dementia.
Identify steps in getting legal and financial plans in
place. Be familiar with specific legal and financial is-
sues pertaining to dementia and future care.
* HPH Hospice, in partnership with the Alzheimer's As-
sociation Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, will host two free
seminars to provide information and assist community
members who are caring for a loved one with
Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Seminars
will be at HPH Hospice administrative offices, 3545 N.

the Alzheimer's Association will present "Changes in
Communication" to share tips and communication
skills to help exchange ideas, wishes and feelings.
* 2 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, Fisher will present
"Solutions for Difficult Behaviors," how patients can
become anxious or aggressive and sometimes misin-
terpret what they hear. He will share ways to identify
those behaviors and explore possible solutions to help.


DePetrillo said people start
forgetting their own per-
sonal history They can be-
come moody or start to
withdraw from people and
social activities.
"Alzheimer's is a disease
of isolation," he said.
When some people with
Alzheimer's start to act out
and display socially unac-
ceptable behavior like in-
tense aggression or walking
around naked because they


forget to put on clothes, De-
Petrillo said people start
pulling away Then argu-
ments over whether or not
to place someone in a facil-
ity can cause added stress
between the caregiver and
other family members, he
said.
In the final stages, a per-
son with Alzheimer's starts
requiring additional assis-
tance with daily tasks such
as dressing, eating, bathing


ALZHEIMER'S FACTS & FIGURES

death in the United States and the only cause of death
among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be
prevented, cured or even slowed.
* An estimated 800,000 individuals with Alzheimer's
disease ( one in seven) live alone.
* More than 15 million Americans provide unpaid care
valued at $210 billion for persons with Alzheimer's
and other dementias.
* Payments for care are estimated to be $200 billion in
the United States in 2012.

fore eventually losing the
ability to control movement
or respond to their
environment.
Fisher said it's losing that
sense of one's self that can
be particularly scary for not
only the person with
Alzheimer's but for the care-
giver and family
"What we need to realize
is there are malfunctions of
the brain," DePetrillo said,
"and the person needs help.
There is help out there."

Mars rover to land in giant crater


Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. The latest Mars
destination is a giant crater near the equa-
tor with an odd feature: a mountain rising
from the crater floor. How did it get there?
Gale Crater was gouged by a meteor im-
pact more than 3 billion years ago. Over time,
scientists believe sediments filled in the 96-
mile-wide crater and winds sculpted the 3-
mile-high mountain, called Mount Sharp.
Mount Sharp's stack of rock layers can be
read like pages in a storybook with older


deposits at the base and more recent mate-
rial the higher up you go, providing a
record of Mars history through time.
Images from space reveal signs of water
in the lower layers of the mountain, includ-
ing mineral signatures of clays and sulfate
salts, which form in the presence of water
Life as we know it needs more than just
water. It also needs nutrients and energy.
During its two-year mission, the NASA
rover Curiosity will trek to the lower flanks
of the mountain in search of the carbon-
based building blocks of life.


NASA Mars mission
The Curiosity rover is designed to travel Mars studying climate and geology. The rover is
looking for signs of carbon, the building blocks of life. Some of the rover's features:


Robotic arm Las

MARS
Continued from Page Al

What's the point of an ex-
traterrestrial trip if you can't
sight-see? Curiosity prom-
ises to be a shutterbug, tot-
ing around a set of
2-megapixel color cameras
that can beam panoramas
back to Earth. With YouTube
fans in mind, it also packed
a video camera that will
record the last few minutes
of its hairy descent to Mars.
Like Mars rovers before


it, Curiosity carries a
weather station to take daily
temperature and pressure
readings and record sea-
sonal changes.
Even before landing, Cu-
riosity has been doing ex-
periments, tracking
radiation during the 8 1/2-
month cruise to Mars. That
should help NASA gauge ra-
diation risk to future dis-
tance-traveling astronauts.
As sophisticated as Cu-
riosity is, it won't be able to
tell us whether primitive
life existed on Mars once
upon a time or if it's there


now. The one-ton rover isn't
equipped for that and its
cameras are not powerful
enough to see fossil relics -
if they exist.
Smarts aside, engineers
also outfitted Curiosity with
a sense of style. It boasts 20-
inch aluminum wheels -
twice the size of the wheels
on twin rovers Spirit and Op-
portunity that landed in 2004
- with spokes made of tita-
nium and cleats for traction.
Curiosity may be tricked
out, but expect some slow
going. Its top speed: one-
tenth of a mile per hour.


PARKWAY
Continued from Page Al

Although the proposed
alignment is still in place,
the state has never formally
committed itself to building
the 27-mile roadway
Toll revenue forecasts
conducted in 2008 are
being redone as the state is
looking at reviving the proj-
ect. The new traffic and
revenue study, based in
part by survey results, is ex-
pected in March or April
2013, turnpike spokes-
woman Christa Deason
said.
The state sought survey
participants in a variety of
ways. Chiefly, workers pho-
tographed the license
plates of about 10,000 vehi-
cles heading north or south
on U.S. 19, U.S. 41 and
County Road 491. They
matched addresses through
the Department of Motor
Vehicles and sent survey
cards to anyone with a Cit-
rus County ZIP code.
The card told drivers
about the survey and sent


them to an Internet link to
participate.
"How many respond re-
mains to be seen," Wood
said.
Workers also set up loca-
tions at various local sites,
such as libraries and the
YMCA, and randomly led
400 people through the
same online survey
Wood said the survey
company also contacted
area employers and Sun-
Pass owners.
He said the goal is to re-
ceive at least 800 re-
sponses. "I think we'll
probably exceed that," he
said.
The survey ends Aug. 17.
"The whole idea of the
survey is to recruit as many
participants as possible,"
Deaton said. "We want to
hear from potential cus-
tomers."
The survey is interactive
and different for each per-
son who participates. "How
you answer one question
may determine the next
question," Wood said.
It's based on a person's
recent north-south trip and,
depending on answers, sets


CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

up a series of either-or sce-
narios with eight sets of po-
tential toll prices.
For example, the survey
may ask whether the mo-
torist would rather pay a
$1.30 toll to drive 35 min-
utes vs. no toll for a longer
drive on a congested
roadway
Each scenario is based
on the motorist's actual
most recent north-south
drive.
Wood and Randy Fox,
turnpike planning man-
ager, said the goal is to
know whether there is
enough interest from Citrus
County motorists to pay a
toll that produces enough
revenue to pay down the
bond.
State law requires the
toll road to pay for 50 per-
cent of the bond debt for at
least the first 12 years, and
100 percent by the 30th
year
Construction estimates
have dropped significantly
since 2008, when officials
estimated the project could
cost up to $850 million.
Deaton said estimates are
now closer to $600 million.

does boast some of Amer-
ica's most beautiful
beaches, there are also
some out-of-the-way spots
that reveal a different side
of this sunny state.
Here are five free things
- including one very gor-
geous but little-known
beach to do in the Tampa
Bay region, which encom-
passes both the city of
Tampa and neighboring
Pinellas County.
JOSE MARTI PARK:
While it's in the city of
Tampa's historic district
called Ybor City, this tiny
park is really part of Cuba.
Yes, THAT Cuba. Named
after the revolutionary who
helped oust the Spanish out
of Cuba in 1900 who also
spent time in Florida, the
land was bought by a couple
in the 1950s to honor the
man himself.
TEDDY'S TAMPA: In
1898, before he was presi-
dent, Col. Teddy Roosevelt
once stayed in Tampa on his
way to fight the Spanish-
American War in Cuba. He
and the First United States
Volunteer Cavalry also
known as the Rough Riders
- bivouacked and planned
the invasion at the Tampa
Bay Hotel, an ornate struc-
ture with silver minarets
built by a railroad magnate.
The building is now part of
the campus of the Univer-
sity of Tampa and houses a
museum.
MAFIA CEMETERY:
Did you watch the movie
Donnie Brasco? Remember
how Donnie and Sonny
Black met up with famed
mobster Santo Trafficante
Jr, the mafia boss of Florida
and Cuba? In Tampa, you


can see Trafficante's final
resting place at the LU-
nione Italiana Cemetery in
Ybor City.
SUNSET BEACH: Al-
most all of the Tampa-area
beaches are west of the city
in Pinellas County, and all of
them are gorgeous. But one
of the nicest and most se-
cluded is Sunset Beach, nes-
tled at the tip of a small
beach city named Treasure
Island. There are few busi-
nesses on this part of the bar-
rier island; it's mostly homes
and condos. From downtown
Tampa, take 1-275 South to
22nd Ave. S., then head west
ST. PETERSBURG
WATERFRONT: Downtown
Tampa is mostly concrete
and steel, but across the
bay is a kinder, gentler
cityscape. You can stroll
along parks and waterfront
between the historic,
Mediterranean-revival
Vinoy Renaissance Resort
and Golf Club and the new,
eye-popping Salvador Dali
Museum. Pass by the Mu-
seum of Fine Arts, a marina,
a yacht club and some gor-
geous banyan trees.


Scallop season starts on Gulf


'Forgotten Coast'

lures tourists with

seafood delicacy

Associated Press
PORT ST JOE It is scallop season
along this tranquil stretch of Florida
known as "The Forgotten Coast."
From July to late September, the
tasty shell-food delicacy lures tourists
to this lesser-known part of Florida
that lacks the amusement parks, night
clubs and world-famous beaches found
in other parts of the state. This region,
which stretches east from the Panhan-
dle's Panama City along the Gulf coast
line as it curves south along the state's
Big Bend, is known for its shallow and
wide bays that give shelter to scallops,
oysters and other fragile sea life.
"Scallops need clean water they
don't do well if there are any pollu-
tion issues," said Stan Kirkland, re-
gional spokesman for the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission. "What you notice in this part
of the state is that there aren't the
condominiums and other develop-
ments that might cause water-quality
issues."
Scallops can be found nestled in
turtle grass in about 2 to 4 feet of
water, which makes it easy to wade

into the water and collect them. But
longtime scalloper Ronald Pickett
prefers to take his boat out into
deeper water, about 10-12 feet, and
find scallops while snorkeling.
The best way to eat them is raw and
fresh from the bay, he said.
"It is really sweet, it's unbelievable,"
Pickett said as he gulped down a
mouthful of scallop on a recent after-
noon. "If you've never eaten one of
these, you've never eaten a really sweet
scallop. These scallops have so much
flavor to them, it is unbelievable."
Florida banned commercial scal-
lop harvesting in the region in the
1990s to prevent their demise. The


three-month season is for recre-
ational scallop harvesters only and
the state limits each person to two
gallons of whole scallops per day A
state fishing license is required, with
costs varying based on residency and
the length of license.
The season, which runs from July 1
to Sept. 24, is a summertime tourism
boon for sleepy Gulf County, said Jen-
nifer Jenkins, executive director of
the Gulf County Tourist Development
Counsel.
"We talk to people all the time and
they just love this. Really and truly, it
is like Easter egg hunting in the
water," she said.

In this image provided by Brian Buckland, 138 skydivers form a massive snowflake
formation Friday, Aug. 3, over Ottawa, III. Three judges representing the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale, the international air sports agency, certified that 138
skydivers created the formation over Ottawa, about 80 miles southwest of Chicago.

Breaking a world record


138 skydivers
set brand-new
vertical limit
Associated Press
OTTAWA, Ill. Falling at
speeds of up to 220 mph, a
group of nearly 140 sky-
divers shattered the vertical
skydiving world record as
they flew heads-down in a
massive snowflake forma-
tion in northern Illinois.
Three judges represent-
ing the Federation Aeronau-


tique Internationale, the in-
ternational air sports
agency, certified 138 sky-
divers created the formation
Friday evening over Ottawa,
about 80 miles southwest of
Chicago. It took 15 attempts
over three days for the team
to break the previous record
of 108 skydivers, which was
set in 2009.
"I feel amazing," Rook
Nelson, an organizer and the
owner of Skydive Chicago
where the record was bro-
ken, said shortly after he
made the jump. "There was
a lot of emotion and a lot of
days where we should have
got it. But we dug down deep


and stuck at it."
Following months of plan-
ning, tryouts and camps to
decide who could take part
in the dangerous challenge,
the record breakers
squeezed into six aircraft
and launched themselves
into the air at 18,500 feet
Flying at such a high altitude
presents a risk of altitude
sickness, so the skydivers
and pilots used oxygen tanks
aboard the planes.
Four camera operators
shooting video and stills
jumped with the 138 partic-
ipants to record their
achievement for the FAI
judges.

Is your problem gluten or faddish eating?


Research suggests

morepeople sick

from Celiac disease

MIKE STOBBE
AP Medical Writer
ATLANTA It sounds like an un-
folding epidemic: A decade ago, virtu-
ally no one in the U.S. seemed to have
a problem eating gluten in bread and
other foods. Now, millions do.
Gluten-free products are flying off
grocery shelves, and restaurants are
boasting of meals with no gluten.
Celebrities on TV talk shows chat
about the digestive discomfort they
blame on the wheat protein they now
shun. Some churches even offer
gluten-free Communion wafers.
"I don't know whether there's more
people getting this or that more peo-
ple are noticing" they have a problem,
said the Rev Richard Allen, pastor at
Mamaroneck United Methodist
Church, north of New York City.
Or is it just another food fad?
Faddishness is a big part of it. Amer-
icans will spend an estimated $7 bil-
lion this year on foods labeled
gluten-free, according to the market
research firm Mintel. But the best es-
timates are more than half the con-
sumers buying these products -
perhaps way more than half don't
have any clear-cut reaction to gluten.
They buy gluten-free because they
think it will help them lose weight, or
because they seem to feel better, or be-
cause they mistakenly believe they are
sensitive to gluten.
"We have a lot of self-diagnosing
going on out there," said Melissa Ab-
bott who tracks the gluten-free market
for the Hartman Group, a Seattle-area
market research organization.
Fads aside, research suggests more
people are truly getting sick from the
gluten found in wheat, rye and barley,
but the reasons aren't clear.
In the most serious cases, gluten
triggers celiac disease. The condition
causes abdominal pain, bloating and
intermittent diarrhea. Those with the
ailment don't absorb nutrients well
and can suffer weight loss, fatigue,
rashes and other problems.
It was once considered extremely
rare in the U.S. But about 20 years ago,
a few scientists began exploring why
celiac disease was less common here
than in Europe and other countries.
They concluded it wasn't less common
here; it was just under-diagnosed.
More recently, a research team led
by the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Joseph Murray
looked at blood samples taken from
Americans in the 1950s and compared


W. I I -Amer


Associated Press
Bertha Domimguez prepares gluten-free dough July 14 at Pure Knead
bakery sandwich bread in Decatur, Ga. Scientists suggest there may be more
celiac disease today because people eat more processed wheat products than
in decades past, which use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content.

wich bread in Decatur, Ga.


them with samples taken from people
today, and determined it wasn't just
better diagnosis driving up the num-
bers. Celiac disease actually was in-
creasing. Indeed, the research
confirms estimates about 1 percent of
U.S. adults have it today, making it four
times more common now than it was
50 years ago, Murray and his col-
leagues reported Tuesday in the Amer-
ican Journal of Gastroenterology.
That translates to nearly 2 million
Americans with celiac disease.
Celiac disease is different from an
allergy to wheat, which affects a much
smaller number of people, mostly chil-
dren who outgrow it.
Scientists suggest there may be
more celiac disease today because
people eat more processed wheat
products like pastas and baked goods
than in decades past, and those items
use types of wheat that have a higher
gluten content. Gluten helps dough
rise and gives baked goods structure
and texture.
Or it could be due to changes made
to wheat, Murray said.
In the 1950s, scientists began cross-
breeding wheat to make hardier,
shorter and better-growing plants. It
was the basis of the Green Revolution
that boosted wheat harvests world-
wide. Norman Borlaug, the U.S. plant
scientist behind many of the innova-
tions, won the Nobel Peace Prize for
his work.
But the gluten in wheat may have
somehow become even more trouble-
some for many people, Murray said.
That also may have contributed to
what is now called "gluten sensitivity."


Doctors recently developed a defi-
nition for gluten sensitivity, but it's an
ambiguous one. It's a label for people
who suffer bloating and other celiac
symptoms and seem to be helped by
avoiding gluten, but don't actually
have celiac disease. Celiac disease is
diagnosed with blood testing, genetic
testing, or biopsies of the small
intestine.
The case for gluten sensitivity was
bolstered last year by a very small but
often-cited Australian study. Volun-
teers who had symptoms were put on a
gluten-free diet or a regular diet for
six weeks, and they weren't told which
one. Those who didn't eat gluten had
fewer problems with bloating, tired-
ness and irregular bowel movements.
Clearly, "there are patients who are
gluten-sensitive," said Dr. Sheila
Crowe, a San Diego-based physician
on the board of the American Gas-
troenterological Association.
What is hotly debated is how many
people have the problem, she added.
It's impossible to know "because the
definition is nebulous," she said.
One of the most widely cited esti-
mates comes from Dr Alessio Fasano,
a University of Maryland researcher
who led studies that changed the un-
derstanding of how common celiac
disease is in the U.S.
Fasano believes 6 percent of U.S.
adults have gluten sensitivity But
that's based on a review of patients at
his clinic hardly a representative
sample of the general public.
Other estimates vary widely, he said.
"There's a tremendous amount of con-
fusion out there," Fasano said.

Restaurants on the go


Food trucks
provide training

for owners
JOYCE M.
ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK Putting the
cart before the store was the
right recipe for ice cream
maker Buck Buchanan.
Back in 2001, Buchanan
was a stay-at-home dad using
his training as a chef to give
cooking lessons to supple-
ment his wife's income.
Boredom set in and he de-
cided to start a gourmet ice
cream cart Later, he added
a truck and drove to con-
certs and sporting events to
sell his cold, tasty treats. In
March, he opened his first
Lumpy's Ice Cream shop in
downtown Wake Forest, N.C.
"My thought was to build
a clientele, build a customer
base, so when I actually
opened the store, people
would flock to it," Buchanan
said. After about five years,
"people started hollering
and screaming on Face-
book: 'I love your ice cream,
but I can't get it anywhere."'
Buchanan waited until he
was sure he had enough cus-
tomers to support a store. He
found a spot in the city's
downtown, which is being
revitalized. The location has
a parking lot That's great for
customers who have to travel
to the store from far away
"The goal is to be the ice
cream king of North Amer-
ica," Buchanan said.
But he wants to be sure
first there'll be even more
demand for Lumpy's choco-
late, vanilla and specialty fla-
vors like Jamaican Joy -
which includes pineapple
and raisins soaked in rum. In
addition to the cart, truck
and store, Lumpy's also sells
ice cream at parties and spe-
cial events and to restaurants
and stores like Whole Foods.
Lumpy's is part of a small
but growing trend spawned

in the Williamsburg section of New York's Brooklyn borough.


by the proliferation of food
trucks and carts in cities
and suburbs across the
country Entrepreneurs who
thought it would be cool and
lucrative to sell gourmet
tacos, barbecue, ice cream
and other food from trucks
are opening stores and
restaurants to build on their
success. They're proving
that taking an idea and try-
ing it out on a small scale -
and in this case, putting on
training wheels is a pru-
dent way to start a company
The experience of running
the cart and truck taught him
a lot about how to run a busi-
ness, Buchanan said.
"We grew what I called
smart.... We'd get a new con-
tract and we'd figure out
how we'd work the contract.
We wouldn't grow any fur-
ther until we figured it out.
You never want to promise
something and not be able
to deliver."
Food trucks and carts have
been around for generations.
Most are sellers of hot dogs
and ice cream bars or are
canteens on wheels that
bring staple breakfast and
lunch items to factories, auto
repair shops and other busi-
nesses. What's different
about the mobile food vehi-
cles that have cropped up in
cities and suburbs the last
few years is these serve


trendy fare like Korean bar-
becue, Jamaican jerk
chicken and cupcakes. They
travel from one spot to an-
other, often congregating in
high-traffic areas like down-
towns and state government
complexes. Some have web-
sites or Facebook pages so
hungry fans can find out what
day and time they'll show up.
Street food has flourished
in the weak economy as peo-
ple seek inexpensive meals.
Some want treats such as
cupcakes and ice cream that
are different from what
they'd find in a supermarket
For entrepreneurs who
dream of opening a restau-
rant, it's a cheaper and less
risky way to get into business.
If a cart or truck is at a loca-
tion where it's not doing well,
it's easily driven elsewhere.
But an owner with a store in
a bad location is stuck-usu-
ally with a lease. Restaurant
failure rates are high stud-
ies generally put it around 30
percent in the first year of
operation. The trucks them-
selves are great advertising
for mobile or fixed locations.
Trucks in New York called,
simply, Pizza Truck, are
bright red or a collage of psy-
chedelic colors. Kogi Korean
barbecue trucks, which op-
erate in Los Angeles, have
big red flames painted on
their sides.

Number of farmers markets surge


Local venues selling

produce increase by

9.6percent

Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. As demand
for locally grown fruits and vegeta-
bles has increased, so too has the
number of urban farmers markets
sprouting up across the nation.
The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture announced Friday the
number of direct-sales markets
has increased 9.6 percent in the
past year, with California and New
York leading the way

ingredient to our nation's food sys-
tem," USDA Deputy Secretary
Kathleen Merrigan said. "These
outlets provide benefits not only to
the farmers looking for important
income opportunities, but also to
the communities looking for fresh,
healthy foods."
After 18 years of steady in-
creases, the number of farmers
markets across the country now
registered with the USDA is 7,864.
In 1994, there were 1,744.
Organizations such as Slow
Food, founded in 1989 to counter
fast-food, junk-food lifestyles, first
ignited consumer demand for
fresh, local produce.
"My husband and I prefer to eat
locally and organically," said Tracy
Stuntz, a college instructor who
shops at Fresno's Vineyard
Farmer's Market. "You go to the
grocery store and everything is the
same. The farmer's market has
yellow zucchini and green onions
that are like a foot long. Produce
you don't see other places."
Today, some markets are so pop-
ular there are wait lists for farmers
to sell there, including one of the
largest and most diverse of all, the
Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San
Francisco. Farmers from across the
region travel there three days a
week to sell fruits, vegetables and
artisan breads and cheeses to thou-
sands of shoppers, including top
chefs from the food-centric city.

Urban Education about Sustain-
able Agriculture, the iconic mar-

"When we started there were
only three markets in the city, and
now there are 29," said Liz Hunt, a
center spokeswoman.
Grant Brians of Heirloom Or-
ganic Gardens sells more than 200
old-fashioned varieties of vegeta-
bles, herbs and fruit grown on two
farms in San Benito County, about
100 miles south of San Francisco.
Others bring in stone fruits from
the San Joaquin Valley, and
berries from the coast.
Dave Stockdale, the center's ex-
ecutive director, said farmers
markets empower consumers to
become active supporters of their
communities.
"Every day eaters have the op-
portunity to vote with their forks
and support small-scale farmers,
investing resources in their com-
munities, stimulating their local
economies, and keeping ag land in


sustainable production," he said.
The center uses the markets to
educate consumers about unique
varieties of produce and how to
prepare them. Stockdale said the
growing interest in farmers mar-
kets has prompted others to ask
the center for help creating edu-
cational programs.
San Franciscan Bryan Miller
frequents the Heart of the City
farmer's market at the San Fran-
cisco Civic Center, a venue so pop-
ular it recently added Fridays to
its normal Wednesday and Sunday
operations.


"It's fresh and cheap, to be quite
honest," Miller said. "I can go to
the store on the bus and buy black
ugly mass-market stuff, but I don't
want to do that. I would rather get
local produce."
The USDA has worked to make
the markets accessible to people of
all income levels by outfitting
more with the ability to accept
payments from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, for-
merly known as food stamps. More
than $4 million are being made
available to equip markets with
wireless point-of-sale equipment.


TALLAHASSEE Farmers mar-
kets across Florida can begin ap-
plying for free equipment to allow
them to handle purchases through
an Electronic Benefits Transfer
Card, which is used by those who
receive temporary federal benefits,
including food and cash assistance.
The U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture gave the Florida Department of
Children and Families $78,749 to
help 100 local farmers markets
begin accepting EBT cards.
"This funding will help local small
businesses across this state in-
crease their customer base and
their revenues," DCF Secretary
David Wilkins said. "More impor-
tantly, this grant gives us the oppor-
tunity to provide better options for
healthy food to many children and
families in Florida."
Farmers markets, which do not al-
ways have access to phone lines or
electricity, have had difficulty re-
deeming food assistance benefits
through the EBT system. As a result
of this funding, Florida is providing
wireless equipment to multi-stall
farmers markets who are not al-
ready accepting EBT cards. There
will be no monthly transaction fees
for food assistance transactions, and
the farmers markets can choose to
use the equipment to process regu-
lar debit and credit card transac-
tions, although fees would be
charged in those instances.
This grant is part of $4 million in
funding nationwide to encourage
farmers' markets to make EBT trans-
actions available. Nationwide, more
than 1,500 farmers markets are using
EBT technology. Since 2008, food
assistance expenditures at farmers
markets have risen by 400 percent.
The USDA National Farmers Mar-
ket Directory lists farmers markets
that accept EBT and other federal nu-
trition programs. The directory,
http://farmersmarkets.usda.gov, is an
easy-to-use tool that allows users to
search for markets based on location,
available products and types of pay-
ment accepted. There is information
on 203 Florida farmers' markets
available at this site.

Olympic athletes queue up July 31 at the McDonald's inside the dining hall at the
Olympic Village in London. The athletes' dining room in the Olympic village is a food court
like no other, offering the world's elite athletes healthy, hearty food and fuel, 24 hours a
day and doing it the Slow Food way. And yet, off in the back corner of the dining room,
next to the coffee bar that's disproportionately populated by Italians queuing up for their
morning espresso, lurks McDonald's and its Sausage & Egg McMuffins. Fresh
fruits are on display as Olympic athletes dine at the dining hall inside the Olympic Village
in London.




Food for all

Fancy a curry? Olympians have range ofchoices

LONDON Fancy a tra-
ditional English fry-up for
breakfast? How about a
chicken curry or some kim-
chi? Or would a lamb
samosa and some baba
ganoush from a halal
kitchen be more to your
taste?
Step right this way. The
athletes' dining room in the
Olympic village is a food
court like no other, offering
the world's elite athletes
healthy, hearty food and
fuel, 24 hours a day and
doing it the Slow Food way
The milk is organic, the
coffee free-trade and eggs
free-range. The chicken,
which is flying off the grill as
athletes opt for basic pro-
tein, carries Britain's "Free-
dom Food" label, certified
by the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to An-
imals as meeting its strict
animal welfare standards.
Recycling and compost
bins proliferate and where
possible, local farmers have
grown the produce. The
seafood part of Britain's fa-
mous fish and chips is made
from sustainably caught
fish.
And yet, off in the back
corner of the dining room,
next to the coffee bar that's
disproportionately popu-
lated by Italians queuing up
for their morning espresso,
lurks McDonald's and its
Sausage & Egg McMuffins.
Fast-food giant McDon-
ald's, Coca-Cola and Cad-
bury are official sponsors of
these games and have
branding rights inside
Olympic Park.
And so the Golden Arches
have no corporate competi-
tion in these parts just
whatever chief Olympic
caterer Jan Matthews and
her crew of chefs from
around the world can dish
up for the more than 24,000
athletes, coaches and team
officials from 200-plus coun-
tries who pass through her
dining room on any given
day
"Our view was that if we
got good ingredients and we
had good chefs, we would
get great food," Matthews
said over coffee one morn-
ing amid the breakfast bus-
tle in the dining room.
She acknowledges the in-
congruity of McDonald's in
her Slow Food-inspired din-
ing room, but says no one is
forcing anyone to eat it.
"I think it's a choice
thing," she says. "The fact is,
people like it."And besides,


McDonald's in recent years
has changed its menu to re-
flect demands for healthier
food. And it's an official
Olympic sponsor.
Matthews' aim in her
kitchen was to showcase
British food, sustainable
food and food that reflects
the trend for better animal
welfare, because "better an-
imal welfare in many cases
actually does mean better
meat at the end of the day"
It's an Olympian feat
given the numbers involved.
Over the course of the 17-
day games, Olympic organ-
izers estimate 14 million
meals will be served to ath-
lete and spectator alike. On
a busy day in the athletes'
dining room, chefs will
serve 65,000 meals. In the
Olympic village alone, that
breaks down to:
25,000 loaves of bread
31 tons of poultry items
232 tons of potatoes
19 tons of eggs
20,000 gallons of milk
Matthews goes through
the shopping list outlined in
her "Food Vision" a man-
ifesto of sorts for these 2012
Foodie Games and real-
izes the numbers are al-
ready way off.
"I think we'll probably
beat that, and that, and that
and that," she says running
her finger down the line.
"Demand across the board
is higher than we
anticipated."
But fear not, Michael
Phelps. The food won't run
out while you're off winning
another medal. Matthews
says her food budget, which
started out in the single-
digit million-dollar realm, is
flexible and no more expen-
sive than if she hadn't in-
sisted on an
environmentally sensitive
menu.
"If Michael Phelps comes
in and he wants his eggs and
his steak, he gets his eggs
and his steak," Matthew
said.
Phelps is not alone in get-
ting special treatment. The
Australians requested jars
of their beloved Vegemite,
the brown goo (high in Vita-
min B) made from brewing
beer that's a popular bread
spread Down Under. The
highly endorsed Americans
asked that Kellogg's cereals
be available, if not adver-
tised as such.
Matthews brought in the
grain spelt for the handful
of wheat-intolerant athletes.
The three to four Orthodox
Jews are getting their
kosher meals delivered


from a London kosher
kitchen.
But most athletes are
sampling fare from home
and far away at the five food
"pods" that ring the cav-
ernous dining room. Front
and center sits the "Best of
Britain" offering traditional
English breakfast of eggs,
bacon, sausage, black pud-
ding, roast tomatoes and
mushrooms.
For a country whose culi-
nary reputation for years
centered on mushy peas
and boiled potatoes, the de-
cision to showcase British
food might strike some as
odd. But the "Best of
Britain" food station is the
most popular among ath-
letes and coaches, Matthews
said.
The selection of fruits
at the Europe/Americas/
Mediterranean station
would make any foodie's
mouth water. Condiments
take up an entire counter:
Balsamic vinegar, rapeseed
oil, sweet chili sauce and
blue cheese dressing. Con-
spicuously absent: poppy
seeds. ("It will show up on
an anti-doping test,"
Matthews says.) And alco-
hol. The athletes village is
officially dry
Next door at the halal
food station which pro-
vides food slaughtered and
prepared according to Is-
lamic law curried
spinach and aubergines
vied for attention with the
baba ganoush and fava
beans.
Rotisserie chickens
roasted on a spit at the
"African and Caribbean"
station while at the bustling
"India and Asia's Finest"
pod, Hong Kong fencer Sin
Ying Au piled some nasi
goreng fried rice next to her
bacon and eggs and bowl of
hot milk.
"I like it very much," she
said. "Every day they have a
new style, and I think the
taste is very authentic."
Polish team psychologist
Maciej Regwelski lined up
behind her, looking for some
pierogis, the traditional Pol-
ish stuffed dumplings.
"We don't have typical
Polish food here," he said.
"Sometimes there are little
pierogis at the Asian sta-
tion," but not today He
walked away with sushi. For
breakfast.
While Matthews is de-
lighted that so many athletes
are spreading their gastro-
nomic wings and "tucking
in," she's well aware that they
eat for one reason only: fuel.

This image made from an NBC Sports website shows their live gymnastics coverage on
Sunday, July 29. For the first time, NBC Sports is showing all competition and medal
ceremonies live over the Internet in the U.S.


Review: NBC offers plenty

of live Olympics online


ANICK JESDANUN
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK Soccer
and balance beam gymnas-
tics on the desktop. Swim-
ming and badminton on the
laptop. Boxing on the
iPhone. Gymnasts' floor ex-
ercises on the iPad. Vault
routines on an Android
phone. And rowing on TiVo.
Welcome to the Olympics
of the digital age.
For the first time, NBC
Sports is showing all com-
petition and medal cere-
monies live over the
Internet in the U.S. The un-
precedented online cover-
age addresses one of my
biggest gripes with
Olympics coverage in past
years: NBC used to with-
hold the popular sports for
prime-time television and
show them on a delayed
basis.
At one point, I had seven
live streams going at once,
plus NBC's TV broadcast
recorded on my digital-
video recorder. I got flus-
tered with all the choices in
no time but I appreciate
having the choice to view
any event live. Tape delay
doesn't work anymore. It's
especially compounded by
the five-hour time differ-
ence between New York
and London.
Although the coverage at
NBCOlympics.com isn't flaw-
less, it's the network's best ef-
fort yet and comes a long way
from 2000, when "video"
meant still images grabbed
from television footage. It's
also the first time live video
is extending to mobile de-
vices, through apps forApple


and Android phones and
tablet computers.
So get up at 4 a.m. EDT
this Thursday to watch an
elimination round in
women's archery Or watch
the woman's marathon in its
entirety this Sunday at 6
a.m. Some sports offer mul-
tiple feeds, so you can keep
watching the javelin throw
even if everyone else turns
to Usain Bolt on the track.
All this is free, but there's
a big catch: You must have a
TV subscription with a
cable, satellite or phone
company at a service level
that comes with CNBC and
MSNBC.
I was able to watch live
video once I verified my
cable account (for Time
Warner Cable, I simply had
to enter the same username
and password used to ac-
cess bills). It's something I'm
supposed to have to do only
once per computer or mo-
bile device, though I ran
into a few hiccups because
of cookie settings on my
browser. If you have trouble,
you can get a one-time, four-
hour pass for free while you
figure it out.
If you still get television
over the air or don't even
own a TV set, you'll be able
to access non-video fea-
tures, including a prime-
time companion app with
trivia and quizzes. But
videos will be limited to
highlights, previews and
other clips. Full-length
video won't be available
until two days after an event
takes place.
Dare I say I'd gladly pay
$25, $50 or even $100 to
watch the streams ifI didn't


have the required TV sub-
scription. I get most of what
I watch through Hulu,
iTunes or Netflix, and all I
need cable for is the occa-
sional big event such as the
Olympics. I'd rather pay a
one-time fee for that than a
recurring cable bill.
That mentality is pre-
cisely the reason NBC isn't
making live video available
for non-subscribers. NBC
paid nearly $1.2 billion for
U.S. rights to the London
Games. Increasingly, it
makes money from fees that
cable and satellite compa-
nies pay to carry channels
on their lineups. NBC and
other networks get a good
chunk of your cable bill
each and every month and
don't want to jeopardize that
for a fee you pay just once.
Of course, when NBC
chose not to show the open-
ing ceremonies live, even
online, links to unautho-
rized video feeds quickly
circulated. I was able to
watch a feed from British
television briefly, until
my conscience and work de-
mands got to me.
For the majority of Amer-
icans who do pay for TV
you're in for a treat.
Most of the video steams
allow you to rewind the ac-
tion. Start from any point if
you are joining late or after
an event is over, or hit a re-
play button to go back sev-
eral seconds.
The exceptions are with
high-profile sports such as
swimming and gymnastics.
If you missed it, you typi-
cally must wait for televi-
sion or the next day
online.


IPhone appeal dims; Samsung shines


Associated Press
NEW YORK The once-
sexy iPhone is starting to
look small and chubby
That's become a problem
for Apple, which revealed
last week that iPhone sales
have slowed. Part of the
problem is that the competi-
tion has found a formula
that works: thinner phones
with bigger screens.
For a dose of smartphone
envy, iPhone owners need to
look no further than Sam-
sung Electronics Co., the
number-one maker of
smartphones in the world.
Its newest flagship phone,
the Galaxy S III, is sleek and
wafer-thin. It can run on the
fastest networks and act as a
"smart wallet," too two
things the Apple's iconic
phone can't do.
Says Ramon Llamas, an
analyst with research firm
IDC: The iPhone "is getting
a bit long in the tooth."
Apple has become the
world's most valuable com-
pany on the back of the
iPhone, which makes up
nearly half of its revenue.
The iPhone certainly has
room to grow: Only one in six
smartphones sold globally in
the second quarter had an
Apple logo on its back
When Apple reported fi-
nancial results for its latest
quarter last week, a new
phenomenon was revealed:
Buyers started pulling back
on iPhone purchases just
six months after the launch
of the latest iPhone model.
Apple executives blamed
the tepid sales on "rumors
and speculation" that may
have caused some con-
sumers to wait for the next

iPhone, which is due in the
fall. But in the past, iPhone
sales have stayed strong nine
months after the new model
is launched, then dipped as
people began holding off,
waiting for the new model.
In the April to June pe-
riod, Apple sold 26 million
phones, 28 percent more
than it did in the same quar-
ter last year
Most other phone makers
"would kill" for those num-
bers, says Stephen Baker, an
analyst with research firm
NPD Group. But since the
iPhone's introduction in
2007, the average annual
growth rate has been 112
percent
The competitor that does-
n't need to kill for those num-
bers is Samsung, which has
solidified its position at the
world's largest maker of
smartphones. Analysts be-
lieve it sold just over 50 mil-
lion smartphones in the


second quarter, or nearly
twice as many as Apple. Its
smartphone sales have
nearly tripled in a year, from
18.4 million.
Most of Samsung's sales
comprise cheaper smart-
phones that don't compete
directly with the iPhone. Its
flagship phones, though,
have emerged as the
iPhone's chief rivals.
Samsung and Apple have a
complicated relationship.
They're rivals in the smart-
phone and tablet-computer
markets, and are set to
square off in a high-profile
trial over mobile patents in
San Francisco this week.
Samsung is one of Apple's
largest suppliers of chips and
displays, and Apple is one of
Samsung's largest clients.
Together, Samsung and
Apple make half of the
world's smartphones, and
since competitors are losing
money or breaking even,
they account for nearly all of
the profits in the industry
Though Apple is known as
a relentless innovator, the
iPhone's screen has been
the same size 3.5 inches
on the diagonal since the
first iPhone came out.
Samsung has increased
the screen size of its Galaxy
series with every model
since it debuted in 2010. The
Galaxy S had a screen that
measured 4 inches diago-
nally, and was followed by
the S II, at 4.3 inches. The S
III, the latest model, meas-
ures 4.8 inches. The screen
is nearly twice as large as
the iPhone's. Yet the Galaxy
is slightly thinner than an
iPhone 8.6 millimeters
versus 9.3 and lighter -
133 grams versus 140 grams.

Jamaicans of London eye solid-gold party


Britons of

Caribbean

descent think

'homegame'

Associated Press
LONDON The Ja-
maicans of London have got
their soul food sizzling, their
Red Stripe on ice and their
expectations sky high.
They're ready for what
they hope will be a solid-
gold weekend celebration
featuring Usain Bolt and
other world-class sprinters
from their Caribbean island
nation.
"Jamaicans are very opti-
mistic. We almost see this as
a home game," said Clive
Saunders, a community
leader for the nearly 1 mil-
lion Britons of Jamaican de-
scent, most of whom are
preparing late-night parties
in London parks, Olympic
venues and homes for the
women's 100-meter finals
Saturday and the men's 100
meter Sunday
At the last Olympics four
years ago, Jamaican sprint-
ers cemented their status as
the world's fastest. The
women took all three
medals, while Bolt set a new
world record, a mark he's
bettered since. This time Ja-
maicans are hoping for an
even more dominant show,
with Jamaican women posi-
tioned for a second clean
sweep and Yohan Blake hot
on Bolt's heels for the title
of world's fastest man.
Many are predicting the
greatest national hangover
in Jamaican history on Mon-
day, when the former colo-
nial possession celebrates
its 50th year of independ-
ence from Britain.
"We'll all be getting' the
rum out tonight, and Satur-
day, and Sunday!" declared

year-old woman selling jerk

old nurse, was hefting three
overflowing bags of gro-
ceries home Friday on a
London bus. Her stockpile
of yams, grits, cornmeal and
canned callaloo was testi-
mony to the many Jamaican
bellies she'd have to fill this
long, raucous weekend.
"My young boys think
they're British. We're going
to make them proper, proud
Jamaicans this weekend,"
said Lewis, who immigrated
as a child to London. "We're
surrounding them with
everything Jamaica. All our
cousins from Birmingham
(England's second-largest
city) are crashing in our flat
this weekend. We've family
here from Kingston (Ja-
maica's capital) too."
Richie Bailey, a 26-year-
old bicycle courier taking a
break to watch the Olympics
on a cafe TV was displaying
his Jamaican pride with a


Rastacap bearing the is-
land's colors of green, yel-
low and black. He predicted
that Bolt would put the up-
start Blake into his rightful
second place and leave the
foreign competition a pitiful
speck on the horizon.
"My man Bolt is gonna
beat them bad, man," he
said. "This weekend, Ja-
maica is gonna be the most
powerful nation on earth."
Indeed, these next few
days could be among the
most special in the history
of Jamaica, a nation of
fewer than 2.9 million peo-
ple, mostly descendants of
slaves brought from Africa
to work the island's sugar
plantations.
"Without a shade of a
doubt, this is as big as it gets
for all Jamaicans," said
Ernie Harriott, a.k.a. Daddy
Ernie, who hosts a nightly
reggae show on London sta-


tion Choice FM and has
been centrally involved in
the past week's Olympic-re-
lated parties for the London
Jamaican community.
He noted that the festivi-
ties have been magnets for
"Jafakins," people who want
to be accepted as Jamaican
for the occasion.
On Monday, the nation
celebrates its Aug. 6, 1962,
independence from Britain,
a moment accompanied by
soul-searching over
whether to loosen the ties
that still bind Jamaica con-
stitutionally to its former

queen of Jamaica, its sym-
bolic head of state, but the
7-month-old government of
Prime Minister Portia
Simpson Miller says the
time is coming when Ja-
maica will declare itself a
full republic and the


British monarch will no
longer grace the nation's
money
Jamaica first plans to
break a key legal link to
Britain by switching the na-
tion's highest court of ap-
peal from faraway London
to the neighboring island
nation of Trinidad.
For Saunders, a 56-year-
old London management
consultant who immigrated
to London as a teenager,
these Olympics represent a
moment when the city's Ja-
maican minority can feel
most at home in their
adopted land.
"There was lots of overt
racism when I came here in
the 1970s. It's no longer like
that. Jamaicans are much
more integrated into the
wider community," said
Saunders, who leads a char-
ity helping Caribbean resi-
dents. "But we still face

discrimination in employ-
ment, in more subtle ways.
So these Olympics present
an opportunity for us to step
aside from the troubles of
daily life for a moment, be-
fore we go back to the real
world."
The weekend parties in-
clude Friday's official open-
ing of Jamaica House, a
sold-out venue in the river-
side 02 Arena featuring Ja-
maican music and food, and
informal parties in Hyde
Park.
For Daddy Ernie, who's
emceeing the Sunday party
atJamaica House alongside
performances by Damian
Marley, son of late reggae
great Bob Marley, nothing
will top the showdown be-
tween Bolt and Blake or
the generosity of Jamaicans
this weekend.
"It's going to be an open-
door policy where every
home has the rum and Red
Stripe going, every telly (TV)
will be tuned to the athlet-
ics, and the rice and peas
and jerk chicken, the salt-
fish will just keep coming,"
he said. "It'll be better than
Christmas."
Once the 100-meter frenzy
is past, there'll be little time
to rest. Jamaicans also
could medal in the 200 and
400 meter events next week.
And after the Olympics,
on Aug. 16, Jamaicans plan
to fill Emirates Stadium,
home to Arsenal soccer
club, for an independence
dinner hosted by the Ja-
maican prime minister. The
dinner honors two of the na-
tion's greatest sprinters:
Merlene Ottey, who won an
incredible nine track
medals at five Olympic
games from 1980 to 2000;
and Don Quarrie, who won
four Olympic medals from
1976 to 1984 and today
serves as the technical man-
ager for the Jamaican track
and field team.
After that, it's back to the
usual Jamaican-led celebra-
tions, including the Notting
Hill Festival on Aug. 26-27
that's the second-biggest
street party in the world
next to Rio's Carnival.

Learn about citrus at free clinics


Special to the Chronicle

We live in Citrus County,
so it sounds as if it should
be easy to grow citrus here,
doesn't it? However, there
is a lot more to growing cit-
rus in Citrus County than
just digging a hole.
Winter temperatures
often drop to freezing or
below. Citrus is a semi-trop-
ical plant, so careful variety


selection is required to suc-
cessfully grow oranges,
grapefruit and lemons.
To learn about growing
citrus, the public is invited
to a Citrus County Exten-
sion Service Master Gar-
dener Plant Clinic in
August:
Wednesday, Aug. 8 -
1:30 p.m. at Central Ridge
Library, Beverly Hills.
Friday, Aug. 10 -

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


It's all in the name


C ount Lipschitz is on the phone,"
S Sue yelled. There was an unsaid
"again" in her voice.
He is becoming a pest, always calling just
as I'm going out the door or just when din-
ner is ready It's uncanny how he knows ex-
actly when I shut the door to the bathroom.
He never wants anything, he just wants to
chat about what he and Lady Lipschitz did
last night usually something I'm not in-
terested in, like a masquerade
ball or a dog show or a single-malt
scotch tasting.
Count Lipschitz is not royalty;
that's just his first name. His par-
ents had the wisdom to realize
that with a name like that, he
could get preferential treatment
his whole life. Sure enough, he
got into the most exclusive pri-
vate kindergarten in his home-
town of Newark, N.J. without J
having to supply seven character MUI
references and tons of financial
statements like the other kids.
They even gave him a scholarship. He can
call the most popular, exclusive restaurant
in the world and get a reservation instantly
Sometimes he doesn't even have to pay
People fawn over him as if he were Pippa
Middleton in a thong. He's never had a job,
yet he never goes hungry
I suppose his parents could have named
him Doctor Lipschitz or Cardinal Lipschitz
or General Lipschitz and gotten some of the
same effects the instantly returned
phone calls, the not-so-subtle sucking up,
the feeling that when people ask "How can
I help you?" they actually mean it
But Doctor, Cardinal or General wouldn't
have worked like Count did at private
schools. Besides, those names all come
with baggage: At some point, people will ex-
pect the people with those titles to show
some expertise in something.
For example, Doctor Lipschitz would be
expected to look at that mole on the maitre
d's cheek to see if it might be melanoma,
whereas no one expects Count Lipschitz to
know that or anything else. If Doctor Lip-
schitz botched the Heimlich maneuver on
a fellow diner, he'd be banned from the
restaurant. Count Lipschitz could continue
eating for free while customers all around
him turned blue. The staff might even apol-
ogize to him for the inconvenience of it all.

Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-

Southern St., Lecanto.
There will be an informal
question-and-answer session.
Members are requested to
bring genealogy questions to
this meeting. Many members of
the genealogy society have
years of experience in tracing
their family histories and will
offer suggestions to solve prob-


Cardinal Lipschitz would stop getting
special treatment the first time he showed
up with a date, yet if Count showed up with
a woman who was not his wife, no one
would say a word. It might even be ex-
pected. After all, counts will be counts.
General Lipschitz would have to be deci-
sive. He can't ask what is better, the fish or
the fowl he has to pretend he knows. Yet
Count and Lady Lipschitz can pester the
servers, endlessly asking for
things that aren't on the menu
and then not eating them be-
cause that's what everyone ex-
pects of them.
Everyone knows that Colonel
Sanders wasn't really an Army
Colonel, but did that hurt him?
No. He wasn't ever really a pri-
vate, either, but if you're going
to fluff up the resume, you've
IM got to get the balance just right
LLEN General Sanders would be too
much, Private Sanders too little.
Naming your child Professor
doesn't work, because it won't get him a
table at a good restaurant. Sir Lipschitz
sounds pretentious. Other people can call
you sir, but it's not really something you call
yourself.
Some say Count's parents were wrong to
give him that name after all, he hadn't
deserved the title. As if real counts did
something to earn theirs. Unlike Count,
Lady Lipschitz' parents were not planning
that she be mistaken for royalty; they just
thought Ladybird Johnson's name was won-
derful and unique. It got shortened to Lady
on the first day of kindergarten. She hasn't
forgotten how cruel children can be in 50
years.
Count Lipschitz was calling to find out if
he could borrow a cup of money No, just
kidding. He was going out of state to visit
his brother Duke and wanted to know if I'd
take care of his dog.
"Can't you leave him in a kennel for a few
days?" I asked.
"No," he said, "They don't take royalty"

Associated Press
SULLIVANS ISLAND,
S.C. The last major light-
house built in the United
States is showing its age at
50, but the National Park
Service is reviewing a man-
agement plan to maintain
the beacon that still shines
27 miles out into the At-
lantic Ocean on clear nights.
The black and white
Charleston Light rising 140
feet above this affluent beach
community on the northeast
side of Charleston Harbor
was commissioned in 1962.
It's unique among the
hundreds of lighthouses in
the nation in that its tower is
triangular, the better to
withstand hurricane winds
that periodically pound the
coast. And instead of walk-
ing up the tower on a spiral
staircase, the lantern room
can be reached by elevator.
Designed by Jack Graham,
who studied under noted
American architect Louis
Kahn at the University of
Pennsylvania, the light was
the second-brightest in the
Western Hemisphere when
it was commissioned with 26
million candlepower. That
proved much too bright for
the locals, and the Coast
Guard reduced the light to
1.5 million candlepower
Also, island residents did-
n't care for the lighthouse's
original red-orange color -
like that on Coast Guard hel-
icopters. So the tower was
painted black and white.
Charleston Light, known
locally as the Sullivans Is-
land lighthouse, replaced
what is now the Morris Is-
land lighthouse. Because of
erosion, the Morris Island
lighthouse is washed by the
sea in an area that used to
be high ground on the other
side of Charleston Harbor
People are always at-
tracted to lighthouses, said
Rick Dorrance, the chief of
resource management at

Island, S.C. The National Park Service is considering alternatives in a draft management
plan to refurbish the lighthouse and provide public access.


the Fort Sumter National
Monument.
"They are beautiful and
they are associated with the
water, and people love the
water. It's an unusual struc-
ture, and people know there
aren't many of them in the
United States," he said.
About 600 lighthouses are
in the nation, according to
the Wisconsin-based United
States Lighthouse Society
The Fort Sumter National
Monument includes the fort
in the harbor where the Civil
War began, the Charles
Pinckney Historic Site in
nearby Mount Pleasant, as
well as Fort Moultrie and the
U.S. Coast Guard Historic
District on Sullivans Island.
The Park Service ac-
quired the lighthouse and
adjoining Coast Guard
buildings in 2008 under the
National Historic Light-
house Preservation Act,
Dorrance said. The Coast
Guard put the lighthouse on
its surplus property list with
lighthouses becoming obso-
lete in an era of global posi-
tioning system navigation.
Under the act, anyone who
acquires a lighthouse must
maintain the structure and
provide public access. In this
case, the Coast Guard keeps


Charleston Light shining, and
it is still an aid to navigation.
The National Park Service
maintains the light tower and
associated buildings.
The Park Service provides
public access four times a
year to the property, with the
next time this Tuesday on
National Lighthouse Day
There has been no access
to the inside of the lighthouse
in recent months. Lead paint
is flaking off the side and gets
into the air when people
walk on it, Dorrance said.


Even Coast Guard personnel
have to wear protective suits
when they service the light
The Park Service recently
received public comment on
a draft management plan for
the next five to 10 years. One
of the alternatives in the
plan would be to paint and
provide public access to the
lantern room and perhaps
the catwalk around it at the
top. The alternative also
proposes linking the light-
house district with trails to
nearby Fort Moultrie.

Valentin Pazhetnov, second right, honored Russian
biologist and creator for the protocol at the IFAW's Bear
Rescue and Rehabilitation Program, sits with his family
members, from left, grandson Vasily, son Sergei, grand-
daughter Elia and wife Svetlana in his home near the village
of Bubonitsy, Russia, 220 miles northwest of Moscow.
: Brown bear cubs take their first steps down the
porch of their "den house" inside the forest enclosure of the
IFAW's Bear Rescue and Rehabilitation Program.
ONE FAMILY'S MISSION:


Saving the


orphan cubs


Russians save bears
by keeping distance
Associated Press
BUBONITSY, Russia Russian
hunters have long been in the habit of
rousting hibernating bears from their
winter dens, shooting them for their
pelts and meat, and leaving the cubs to
starve or freeze to death. But Valentin
Pazhetnov has a method of keeping the
little ones alive and returning them to
nature.
The secret, the Russian biologist
said, is minimal contact with humans,
so the cubs learn to fend for them-
selves.
"Bear cubs shouldn't get used to the
smell of humans, to human houses...
the human voice," he told AP Televi-
sion. "They must avoid people, fear
them. This is the only way they can sur-
vive in the wild."
The bears are brought in by volun-
teers, hunters or people who stumble
upon them by chance, and are shel-
tered at the Bear Rescue and Rehabil-
itation Program at Bubonitsy, a village
220 miles northwest of Moscow. The
program is funded by the U.S.-based In-
ternational Fund for Animal Welfare,

son Sergei, two grandchildren and vol-

unteers raise the cubs in a wooden
den, where they live in darkness. The
staff wear clothes impregnated with
bear odor, deliver food to the animals
quickly and refrain from fondling or
communicating with them.
In spring, the cubs are moved to
larger enclosures, and are released in
the autumn.


Pazhetnov said some 200 cubs have
been saved since 1996, and he wel-
comes a nationwide ban on hunting
bears in dens that was enacted in
March 2011.
He noted aside from the cruelty in-
volved, the bear is a Russian symbol,
so "It was the right step and we are
happy that the ban has been signed."

LUTHER, Okla. While resi-

through their charred belongings
Saturday to salvage what they
could after a roaring wildfire that
may have been deliberately set,
residents in two other towns were
being ordered to evacuate their
homes.

Luther may have been intentionally
set, while the cause of the others
was undetermined. The Oklahoma
County sheriff's department said it


was looking for someone in a black
pickup truck who was seen throw-
ing newspapers out a window after
setting them ablaze.
Department spokeswoman Mary
Myers said there were "no arrests,
no suspects" but deputies were
"working around the clock" to find
anyone responsible.

on Saturday, hugging residents
whose homes and belongings were
destroyed by the fire that swept
through treetops on 24 mph winds.

lies that have lost so much," Fallin
said after talking with some who
were milling around the still-
smoking debris that had been their
homes. "I gave them a hug, told
them I was sorry"
The fire burned more than 4
square miles, including an area
near the Turner Turnpike, which
carries Interstate 44 between Okla-
homa City and Tulsa. The super-
highway was briefly closed Friday
and traffic was diverted onto old

Could tougher laws squelch youth vote?


MARTHA IRVINE
AP National Writer


CHICAGO Gone are the
days when young voters
weren't taken seriously. In
2008, they helped propel
Barack Obama into the Oval
Office, supporting him by a
2-1 margin.
But the higher profile has
landed them in the middle
of the debate over some
state laws that regulate
voter registration and how
people identify themselves
at the polls.
Since the last election,
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Wis-
consin, Texas and other states
have tried to limit or ban the
use of student IDs as voter
identification. In Florida,
lawmakers tried to limit
"third party" organizations,
including student groups,
from registering new voters.

when defending the
state's new law in court.
Others see these efforts
as attempts to squelch the
aspirations of the budding
young voting bloc and other
groups, and they're using
that claim to try to get more
young people fired up.
"You think your vote
doesn't matter? Then why
are they trying so hard to
take it away from you?"

for what they view as the

lawmakers asking why

about allegations of corrup-

and alleged security lapses
that led to recent assassina-

The parliament then
passed a measure to remove

EXCURSIONS
CITRUS COUNT













(f .


The tall grasses in Botswana are

the perfect hiding places for wild

dogs to rest before the next hunt.

An errant flip of the tail or twitch of

an ear is enough to reveal a hiding

place. And so it was that we spotted

a pack of the motley-hued canines.




Botswana's packs impressive, entertaining


NEIL SAWYER
Special to the Chronicle
As we drove on a dusty trail in
Botswana in an open safari vehicle, al-
most simultaneously with seeing the
dogs, we surprised a family of Vervet
monkeys, which are common to the
woodlands and savannas of Botswana.
The Vervet has long legs, giving the ap-
pearance of being on stilts, and a tail
that is longer than its body perfectly
designed for extra-long leaps and
swinging in the trees.
Our arrival triggered screeching and
physical antics by the monkeys, which
alerted the nearby dogs, who sprang
into action to investigate the situation,
possibly sensing an opportunity to nab
their next meal. As the dogs ap-
proached, the monkeys would drop
out of the trees just far enough from
the dogs that, with a couple of leaps,
they could bound back into a tree to
safety. The mon-
keys would taunt
the dogs in this
fashion while
screeching and
baring their
teeth, as if flash-
ing the dog a big
smile. Even the
younger monkeys
participated in
Neil Sawyer this game.
SPONTANEOUS Of course, the
TRAVELER dogs were in hot
pursuit in every
direction, as
there were approximately a dozen
monkeys in the act. Not a single mon-
key was caught and after awhile the
dogs lost interest and proceeded
through the grass in search of easier
prey Cirque du Soleil would do well to
mimic this display of nature's crea-
tures in action. Monkey meat, how-
ever, is not a favored food of the dogs
- they much prefer impala, gazelle or
calves of larger animals such as water
buffalo or giraffes.
We trailed the dogs as they targeted
another area of interest. A herd of ele-
phants was coming up out of the Zam-
bezi River as we came into view. A
huge bull led the herd and greeted us
with the usual swinging of its trunk
and flapping its huge ears in a threat-
ening manner At this moment we
were encircled by the pack of dogs,

NEIL SAWYER/Special to the Chronicle

who watched the elephants intently,
paying no attention to us whatsoever,
but keeping an eye on a young ele-
phant calf being protected by its eld-
ers. The elephants appeared to be
black in color from being in the water,
as they ambled down a trail and disap-
peared, while the dogs, again losing
interest, veered off in another
direction.
We were told that it is rare to see a
large pack of dogs such as we encoun-
tered, as they are loners, having a
range of about 25 to 580 square miles,
depending on availability of game.
They occasionally and randomly form
packs for no determinable reason, ex-
cept for the advantage in hunting
larger prey They are clever fighters,
bringing down very large prey by one
dog going for the nose while another
one holds the tail practically immo-
bilizing the animal as other dogs
disembowel their catch. An entire
pack will feast on the carcass but al-
ways allow the younger ones to eat
first. Some of the older dogs will take
food back to the den to feed those left
to guard the den and care for the
younger pups.
Wild dogs, among packs, are some of
the most civilized of all wild animals.
They have a strict social order that re-
spects each individual. Order in the
pack is established without bloodshed
and they form a hierarchy based on
submission rather than dominance.
Yet, they are skilled hunters and fierce
fighters against any foe.
The wild dog is just one of many dif-
ferent animals in Africa that allows a
closeup of the marvels of nature.
Everything they do is geared to sur-
vival, while being entertaining to us.
Among the joys of travel, particu-
larly to foreign countries, is that there
are never-ending surprises beyond
every horizon and behind every build-
ing or bush new discoveries,
whether in the cities, in open terrain,
or on safaris.

Dear Annie: I have a
beautiful 3-month-
old daughter. We live
close to my parents, and
they babysit "Abby" all the
time.
Here's the problem. At my
last dental visit, my dentist
told me about a study that
says adults with bad oral hy-
giene can transmit bacteria
to children through kissing
and sharing utensils, caus-
ing tooth infections in the
kids.
My mom hasn't been to a
dentist in years. When I told
her about the study and sug-
gested she get a checkup,
she blew up at me and now
refuses to see her grand-
daughter. I realize my
mother has a
phobia, but I
thought she'd
make the effort
for Abby's sake.
How can I make
her understand O
that this is not
an attack on her,
but about the
well-being of my
daughter?

Dear Penn: ANNI
Tooth decay is MAILI
caused by spe-

is more common among
young children than any
other chronic illness. Some
of this is caused by poor
brushing and flossing, too

relying exclusively on bottled

ferred to the baby's mouth by

mouth if you have poor den-
tal hygiene.
Your mother's phobia is so
severe that she has chosen
not to see her grandchild
rather than submit to a den-
tist. This not only damages
her relationship with Abby,
but risks her physical health,
as poor dental hygiene can
lead to heart disease. Please
explain all this to Mom and
ask her to be careful around
Abby Then wipe the baby's
teeth, tongue and inner
cheeks with a clean, wet
cloth every few hours,
whether she's around Mom
or not
Dear Annie: This is in re-
sponse to "North
Carolina Step-
mom," who com-
S plained that her
husband pays regu-
lar child support,
yet still has to buy
his girls clothes,
shoes, etc.
There is no re-
quirement that
child support be
used directly on the
child, but it doesn't
E'S do much good to
BOX spend it on clothes
if the mother does-
n't have the income
to pay rent or buy groceries.
It is quite possible that the
mother of those two girls is
using the child support on
basic necessities. Grand

Phelps wins 18th

gold medal in last

Olympic race

Associated Press
LONDON As if 22 medal
ceremonies over the last three
Olympics weren't enough,
Michael Phelps was summoned
back to the pool deck for one
more accolade.
This time, he received a tro-
phy rather than a medal, an
award that sought to sum up a
career like no other.
"To Michael Phelps," it said,
"the greatest Olympic athlete of
all time."
Too bad it was silver
Gold was the
only color for
this guy.
lt In a final race
that was more a
coronation than
a contest,
Phelps headed
into retirement
Michael the only way
Phelps imaginable -
with an 18th gold medal. Re-
claiming the lead with his trade-
mark butterfly stroke, the one
seen in his Olympic debut as a
15-year-old in Sydney a dozen
years ago, he capped off a mind-
boggling career with a victory in
the 4x100-meter medley relay
Saturday
"I've been able to do every-
thing that I wanted," Phelps
said.
When it was done, he hugged
his teammates Matt Grevers,
Brendan Hansen and Nathan
Adrian before heading off the
deck for the final time in his hip-
hugging swimsuit. He waved to
the crowd and smiled, clearly at
peace with his decision to call it
a career
And what a career it was!
"I was able to really put the
final cherry on top tonight, put
all the whipped cream I wanted
and sprinkles. I was able to top
off the sundae," Phelps said.
"It's been a great career. It's
been a great journey I can't be
any more happy than I am."
Phelps retires with twice as
many golds as any other

at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Phelps pushed
the United States in front to win the race, after which he is retiring. He leaves the sport with a record 18
golds and 22 medals overall.

Montoya takes pole
at Pocono Raceway
LONG POND, Pa. -
Juan Pablo Montoya's con-
tribution to the NASCAR
highlight reel so far this
season was his crash into
a jet dryer in the season-
opening Daytona 500.
Montoya finally had a
bright spot that didn't in-

ing fuel fires.
He turned a lap of
176.043 mph Saturday to
win the pole at Pocono
Raceway. The winless
Montoya won his first pole
since April 2011 in Rich-
mond, Va. He hasn't won a
race since Aug. 8, 2010 at
Watkins Glen.
The pole was a needed
lift for Montoya and his No.
42 Earnhardt Ganassi Rac-
ing team. He's 21st in the
standings and has yet to
drive to a top-five finish. He
only has two top 10s and
has continued a string of
mediocre seasons since
qualifying for the Chase for
the Sprint Cup champi-
onship in 2009.
Montoya admitted he
was "shocked" he beat out
Pocono qualifying stars
such as Denny Hamlin,
Joey Logano and Kasey
Kahne to lead the field in
Sunday's 400- mile race.
"We know we're work-
ing in the right direction,
we know we're working
hard, we feel the cars are
getting a little better,"
Montoya said.

US escapes upset


Men's b-ball

beats Lithuania

99-94

Associated Press

LONDON When the
moment arrived, the Ameri-
cans responded.
They're still unbeaten,
but no longer untested.
Pushed to the max by a
fearless Lithuanian team
smelling a world-shaking
Olympic upset, the U.S. col-
lection of basketball super-
stars united as one.
And LeBron James led
the way
Two days after running
and gunning to a record-
shattering 83-point win, the
U.S. was forced to play a pos-
session-for-possession game
in the fourth quarter in a 99-
94 win over Lithuania.
The Americans were in
serious trouble until James
- in his third Olympics -
stepped up in the closing
minutes.
"It was like LeBron said,
'I got this, I'm doing this,"
U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski
said.
James scored 9 his 20
points in the final four min-
utes for the U.S. (4-0), which
had looked nearly invinci-
ble in thrashing Nigeria 156-
73 on Thursday night while
breaking several records.
But the Americans were re-
minded that the path to a
gold medal is loaded with
traps and Lithuania nearly
sprang one.
"You want to get tested,"
James said. "The best teams
want to be tested. We love
the competition. We've got
some of the greatest com-
petitors in our league, in
this world, so you want to
have a game where you feel
like you were tested, and we
had that today"
And then some.


Associated Press
USA forward Lebron James hauls down a rebound against Lithuania's Martynas Pocius
during a men's basketball game Saturday at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.


The U.S. trailed by two
points with under six min-
utes left before using a 15-4
run to put away Lithuania
(1-3), which was seeking to
duplicate its stunning win
over the Americans in 2004
win at Athens, when the
U.S. program dropped to
its low point after decades
of dominance.
However, James, who was
an Olympic rookie eight
years ago, refused to allow it
The reigning MVP and a
recently crowned NBA


champion knocked down a
3-pointer from the top of the
key, and after Paul stole the
inbounds pass, James took a
feed down the right side and
delivered one of his trade-
mark dunks, a basket that
brought the American play-
ers off the bench and
seemed to restore world
basketball order.
Carmelo Anthony added
20 points, Kevin Durant 16
and Chris Paul added seven
rebounds, six assists and four
of the U.S. team's 17 steals.


After making a record 29 3-
pointers in their epic win
over Nigeria, the Americans
missed 23 of 33 attempts be-
hind the arc and too often
settled for outside shots.
The U.S. wasn't sharp on
defense either as Lithuania
ran a high pick-and-roll to
death that the Americans
never really figured out how
to stop.
"We can play better offen-
sively and defensively, no
questions about that,"
Krzyzewski said.


Pistorius easily advances to 400 semis


'Blade Runner' i 1st amputee

to compete in Olympic track

Associated Press

LONDON The man known as the "Blade Run-
ner" finally got his Olympic moment Saturday when
he took to the starting line of the 400-meter heat and
easily advanced to the semifinals.
Oscar Pistorius worked for six years to get the I
chance to run, and he became the first amputee to
compete in track in the Olympics. With 80,000 fans
watching him make history, he cruised past a couple
of opponents in his heat to advance to Sunday night's
semifinals.
"I found myself smiling in the starting block," Pis-
torius said. "Which is very rare in the 400 meters."
Pistorius was born without fibulas and his legs
were amputated below the knee before he was 1. He
runs on carbon-fiber blades and fought to get to the
starting line. He had friends and family in the stands
- including his 89-year-old grandmother, who was
carrying the South African flag.
South Africa's Oscar Pistorius and Jamaica's
Rusheen McDonald compete in a men's 400-meter
heat Saturday in the Olympic Stadium at the 2012

LONDON Mo Farah won
the 10,000 meters at the Lon-
don Olympics to give Britain
three gold medals in track and
fieldon Saturday
The Somali-born Farah kicked
away from a big pack coming
into the final straight and won in
27 minutes, 30.42 seconds,
holding off training partner Galen
Rupp of the United States, who
took silver in 27:30.90.
Tariku Bekele finished in
27:31.43 to pick up bronze for
Ethiopia.
Earlier Saturday, Jessica
Ennis won the heptathlon and
Greg Rutherford won the long
jump for Britain.
Bryan brothers win
tennis gold
WIMBLEDON, England -


Top-seeded Bob and Mike Bryan
won Olympic gold in men's dou-
bles on Saturday, beating
Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga of France 6-4, 7-6 (2).
The American twin brothers,
who have won 11 Grand Slam
doubles titles, won a bronze
medal in Beijing in 2008.
First-time Olympians Richard
Gasquet and Julien Benneteau
of France won the bronze medal
by beating David Ferrer and Fe-
liciano Lopez of Spain 7-6 (4),
6-2.
Usain Bolt advances to
Olympic 100 semifinals
LONDON -After overcom-
ing a sloppy start to his London
Olympics, Usain Bolt looked
into a TV camera, held up his
right index finger and declared:
"No. 1, baby. All day, every day."
Well, on this day, he was
merely OK.


Hardly dazzling after so
much anticipation, Bolt was
pedestrian out of the blocks -
his reaction time ranked sixth of
the eight runners in his heat -
then insisted all that mattered
was that he made it to the
semifinals by shrugging off that
poor beginning to win his race
in 10.09 seconds Saturday.
"I stumbled on the start," the
25-year-old Jamaican said. "I re-
ally didn't do a lot of executing."
At Beijing in 2008, a show-
boating Bolt ruled track and field,
winning golds in world-record
times in the 100, 200 and 4x100
relay something no man had
ever done at an Olympics. At the
2009 world championships, he
lowered his 100 mark to 9.58,
which still stands.
But he's been less than out-
standing more recently. A false
start knocked him out of the


dash at last year's world cham-
pionships, and he lost to train-
ing partner Yohan Blake in the
100 and 200 at the Jamaican
Olympic trials. Bolt blamed his
poor showings at home on
back and hamstring issues.
Blake, whose intensity in
practice led Bolt to nickname
him "The Beast," looked quite
good in his Olympic debut, re-
ally coasting at the end while
winning his heat in 10 seconds
flat.
Asked to assess his showing,
Blake said: "It's not the finals."
The defending Olympic
champion in the 400, LaShawn
Merritt, will not join Pistorius in
Sunday night's semifinals. Mer-
ritt, who served a 21-month
drug suspension after his Bei-
jing title, pulled up halfway
through his heat with a tender
left hamstring.

WOMEN'S COMPETITIONS

Associated Press
The United States women's 4x100-meter medley relay team from left, Allison Schmitt, Dana Vollmer, Rebecca Soni and Missy Franklin pose with their
gold medals Saturday at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

US women's 4x 00-meter medley relay team claims gold sets new world mark


Associated Press


Missy Franklin capped off a bril-
liant Olympic debut by helping the
U.S. take gold in the women's 400
medley relay with a world-record
time, no less.
The 17-year-old Franklin, who
will begin her senior year of high
school when she gets back to Col-
orado, seems destined to be Amer-
ica's new star in the post-Michael


Phelps era after taking four golds
and a bronze while swimming seven
events the same number as
Phelps.
A definite bit of symmetry there,
though Franklin doubts anyone can
ever replace Phelps.
"I don't think his shoes will ever
be filled. They're so huge," Franklin
said. "Hopefully I can make little
paths next to him."
And let's not forget Allison


Schmitt, another swimmer with
ties to Phelps. They trained to-
gether over the past year in Balti-
more, becoming fast friends with
all their goofy antics. But they
sure took care of business in the
pool, with Schmitt winning three
golds, a silver and a bronze in
London.
Franklin grabbed the lead right
away in the backstroke, Rebecca
Soni stretched out the advantage


in the breast, Dana Vollmer
cruised through the fly and
Schmitt finished it off in the free,
pulling away for a time of 3:52.05,
beating the mark of 3:52.19 set
by China at the 2009 world
championships.
It was the second world record of
the night and ninth of the Olympic
meet, proving that fast times are
still possible even without banned
high-tech bodysuits.


So far, London doping cases are good news


No athlete caught

cheating during

actual competition

Associated Press

LONDON -At the midway point
of the London Games, no competi-
tor has been caught doping at their
event. At least, not yet.
Still, every day a different name
of a suspected offender has
emerged because of an extensive
pre-Olympics testing program to
target and identify the drugs cheats
before they get near a venue.
On Saturday, a Colombian runner,
a Brazilian rower and a Moldovan
hammer thrower all made minor
headlines and all were not al-
lowed to start their event
Olympic officials think each case
at this stage is a success in keeping
the London Games clean. From
here on, every positive doping re-
sult from an in-competition sample
becomes more problematic for the
Olympic image.
Disqualifications follow, often
requiring medals to be stripped
and results redrawn. Then comes
the possibility of lengthy legal ac-


Associated Press
The IOC confirmed Saturday that Russian track cyclist Victoria Baranova,
right, was expelled from the 2012 Summer Olympics after failing a pre-com-
petiton test. Her positive test on testosterone of exogenous origin had been
confirmed by cycling's governing body.


tion as the field of play switches to
the Court of Arbitration for Sport
in the International Olympic Com-
mittee's home city of Lausanne,
Switzerland.
For now, the IOC's legal slate is
clean.
"We have shown that we take
swift action, that cheats are caught
and ejected from these games,"
spokesman Mark Adams said. "I


would say at this stage, it's a pretty
low number."
Four is low. That's the number of
actual cases requiring IOC sanc-
tions from testing since the athletes
village officially opened July 16.
They are Colombian 18-year-old
400-meter runner Diego
Palomeque (substance not identi-
fied); Russian track cyclist Victoria
Baranova (testosterone); gymnast


Luiza Galiulina of Uzbekistan
furosemidee); and Albanian
weightlifter Hysen Pulaku
(stanozolol).
The week the games opened, the
World Anti-Doping Agency said 107
athletes were removed from the
London picture by suspensions im-
posed in the first six months this
year.
Then add a few more July cases,
involving new positive tests and old
appeals resolved, which removed
genuine medal contenders from the
track and field program: in men's
discus, hammer and high jump, and
the women's 1,500 meters.
Those athletes are implicated in
taking stanozolol better known
as the steroid Ben Johnson took at
the 1988 Seoul Olympics the clas-
sic blood-booster EPO and, in the
case of Hungarian former discus
silver medalist Zoltan Kovago, flat
out refusing to cooperate with test-
ing teams.
The numbers suggest WADA and
the International Association of
Athletics Federations got their long-
term strategy right.
Every athlete at the 2011 World
Championships in Daegu, South
Korea, had to provide a blood sam-
ple to help WADA laboratories set
baseline levels for future monitor-
ing and targeted follow-up tests.


Olympic BRIEFS


Jamaican Fraser-Pryce edges
Jeter for Olympic gold
LONDON Of course the gold
medal stays in Jamaica. Shelly-Ann
Fraser-Pryce wouldn't have it any
other way.
Her golden necklace banging against
her chin, the bubbly Jamaican made it
back-to-back Olympic titles in the
women's 100 meters Saturday night,
closing ground over the last 20 meters
and leaning at the line to win in 10.75
seconds and edge American Carmelita
Jeter by .03 seconds.
Fraser-Pryce became the first woman
to repeat in the 100 since Gail Devers of
the U.S. did it in 1992 and 1996.
Veronica Campbell-Brown finished
third for her second career 100-meter
bronze. Jamaica fell out of the running


for a repeat of its sweep in Beijing after
2008 silver medalist Kerron Stewart
failed to make it through the semifinals.
Gray's shooting garners gold,
world records for USA
Jamie Lynn Gray of the United States
won the gold medal in women's 50-meter
three-position rifle shooting, setting two
Olympic records along the way.
The American's final score was
691.9 points, topping the previous total
Olympic mark of 690.3 set by China's
Du Li at the 2008 Beijing Games. She
clinched gold on her final shot with a
10.8 -just 0.1 off what would have
been perfect.
May-Treanor, Walsh win in
Olympic beach volleyball
LONDON Two-time gold medalists


Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-
Treanor beat the Netherlands in straight
sets on Saturday night to advance to the
quarterfinals of the Olympic beach vol-
leyball tournament.
The Americans beat Marleen van
lersel and Sanne Keizer 21-13, 21-12.
Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor
won gold medals in Athens and Beijing
without losing a set. That streak was
snapped on Wednesday in the final of
the round-robin.
In all, the two-time defending champi-
ons have won 18 consecutive Olympic
matches.
Richards-Ross cruises
into Olympic 400 final
LONDON -American runner Sanya
Richards-Ross walked through
Olympic Stadium carrying her gold-


bottomed cleats.
If things go as planned, she'll be
doing the same with a gold medal.
Richards-Ross won her semifinal heat
in the women's 400 meters Saturday
night, setting a blistering pace before
coasting to a spot in the final.
It sure looked like she was showing
off. If so, who could blame her? She had
her husband, Jacksonville Jaguars cor-
nerback Aaron Ross, on hand for his
first Olympics.
Ross left training camp Friday and
arrived the following day, just in time to
spend some time with Richards-Ross
before her latest race. He had to be im-
pressed. After all, Richards-Ross was
way out front after they turned for
home.

Jim Furyk chips to the 16th green during the third round of
the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament Saturday at
Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. Furyk is 11-under par
after the third round.



Furyk holds on



to tenuous lead


Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio -A steady
diet of pars kept Jim Furyk
in the lead Saturday in the
Bridgestone Invitational,
but not by much.
Furyk made his only
birdie on the par-5 second
hole and had to rely on a
couple of strong par saves
on the back nine at Fire-
stone for an even-par 70, giv-
ing him a one-shot lead over
Louis Oosthuizen going into
the final round of this World
Golf Championship.
Furyk began the week
with a 63, and he's not sure
he didn't hit the ball better
in the third round. Under
three days of sun-baked
conditions, the greens lost
their moisture and enough
wind arrived to make play-
ers think more than they
would prefer.
Oosthuizen had to scram-
ble for pars at the start be-
fore he settled into his
round of 68.
Keegan Bradley, who can
move into the top eight in
the Ryder Cup standings
with a runner-up finish, had
a 67 and was four shots be-
hind. He will be in the final
group Sunday, when the tee
times are pushed forward to
avoid thunderstorms fore-
cast throughout the day
Rory McIlroy, with an out-
side chance of returning to
No. 1 in the world if he were
to win, had a 67 and joined
Steve Stricker (68) at 6-
under 204, five shots behind.
Top-ranked Luke Donald
also was chipping away, as
he often does, until he hit a


tree on the last for a bogey
for a 71, falling seven shots
back.
Tiger Woods broke par for
the first time all week,
though his 68 left him 11
shots behind on a Firestone
course where he has won
seven times.
Reno-Tahoe Open
RENO, Nev. J.J. Henry
had an eagle for the third
straight day and scored 14
points to take the third-round
lead in the Reno-Tahoe Open.
John Daly and Justin Leonard
were among more than a dozen
players within striking distance
in the PGA Tour's first modified
Stableford scoring system event
since 2006.
Henry had 36 points overall,
three more than second-round
leaderAlexandre Rocha in the
format that awards eight points
for double eagle, five for eagle,
two for birdie and none for par.
Players are docked a point for
bogey and three points for any-
thing worse.
3M Championship
BLAINE, Minn. David
Peoples matched his career
best with a 10-under 62 on Sat-
urday to take a three-stroke
lead in the Champions Tour's
3M Championship.
Peoples, who twice shot 62
on the PGA Tour, had a 14-
under 130 total. He got into the
field Tuesday when Russ
Cochran withdrew because of a
back injury.
The 52-year-old Peoples
made six straight birdies at the
TPC Twin Cities to get to 10
under through seven holes.

disappointment of his

the NASCAR Nationwide

Saturday night.
Sadler denied Ricky

serving and I was thinking:
'Serena, this is your best
chance to win a gold medal.
You're at Wimbledon, you're
on grass, you play great on
grass, pull it together, just
win this.' And that's what I
thought about."
The career Golden Slam

won at the Olympics in 1988
after sweeping all four

can say that about your ca-
reer, there's no need to move
forward. Time for other
things."
Bouncing back from a dis-
appointing first race in Lon-
don, a fourth-place finish in
the 400 individual medley,
Phelps wound up with more
medals than any other swim-
mer at the games: four golds
and two silvers.
Sounds familiar
"Honestly, the first race
kind of took the pressure off,"
Bowman said. "If it's not
going to go too well, we should
at least have fun while we're
here. That helped us relax a
little bit, then he started
swimming well in the relays
and he picked it up again."
Grevers had the Americans
in front on the opening back-
stroke leg, but Kosuke Kita-
jima putJapan slightly ahead

breaststroke. Not to worry,

Williams said. "Having a
chance to be mentioned in

thought, 'OK, one person I'll
never be mentioned in the

She's done everything."'
Williams can add the gold

most of any active woman.

The U.S. men had never
lost the medley relay at the
Olympics, and they weren't

Olympic Aquatics Centre, on

How momentous? The gov-

FINA, broke with Olympic
protocol to present Phelps
with an award recognizing his

ken up with two outs in the sixth inning
when Ezequiel Carrera tripled over Austin
Jackson's head in center field. Fister (6-7)

Spike Lee will
stick with Knicks
NEW YORK- He's
New York's most promi-
nent Knicks fan. But he's
also a
proud son
of Brook-
lyn.
So

Spike Lee
ever con-
sider
Spike switching
Lee teams
and root-
ing for the Brooklyn
Nets?
No, no and no.
That's what Lee tells
The New York Times in an
interview discussing his
split loyalties between the
Knicks and the beloved
hometown borough that
has been the setting for
many of his films.
The Nets will play
their first games in
Brooklyn this fall, after
moving from New Jersey
It's far from the first
time Lee has vowed to go
to his grave a Knicks fan.
Last year he tried to
hammer home the point
on Twitter, saying anyone
who thinks he's switching
to the Nets "is on crack,
meth and malt liquor"

Newport Jazz
Festival under way
NEWPORT, R.I. The
Newport Jazz Festival is
back for another year, 58
years after it began in
Rhode Island's city by the
sea.
The iconic musical
event began Friday night
with a kickoff concert fea-
turing Dr. John and the
Preservation Hall Jazz
Band at the International
Tennis Hall of Fame.
The festival moves to
Fort Adams State Park on
Saturday for a lineup that
features guitarist Pat
Metheny, singer Diane
Reeves, guitarist Bill
Frisell and jazz trio The
Bad Plus.
The event concludes
Sunday
The festival, first held
in 1954, has showcased a
who's who of jazz stars.
George Wein, the event's
long-time producer, took
the festival and the New-
port Folk Festival non-
profit last year in an
attempt to ensure their
long-term success.

Shuttered lodge
to be reopened
GLOUSTER, Ohio -A
shuttered, state-owned
lodge at a southeastern
Ohio park will be re-
opened this fall and its
rooms are expected to
undergo hefty renova-
tions as part of an agree-
ment with a new state
contractor
The state's Department
of Natural Resources re-
cently announced U.S.
Hotels, a hospitality com-
pany, will operate Burr
Oak Lodge and Confer-
ence Center in Glouster
under a two-year con-
tract with the state.
The facility has been
closed since January due
to sparse use and poor fa-
cility conditions. Plus,
the previous company
that ran the lodge chose
not bid on a new contract.
The state did not have
another bidder to replace
the operator.

Musical has 'spirit fingers'


Associated Press
Adrienne Warren, foreground center, and Taylor Louderman perform in "Bring It On: The Musical," at the St. James
Theatre in New York.

'Bring It On'music creators cheer their team


Associated Press

NEW YORK Don't bother try-
ing to figure out who wrote what in
"Bring It On: The Musical."
Co-song creators Lin-Manuel Mi-
randa, Tom Kitt and Amanda Green
enjoyed reading reviews of their
show as it toured the country and
critics tried to untangle their con-
tributions. Some saw Kitt's finger-
prints all over a song he didn't
write. Another was certain Miranda
could be heard in something he had
no part of.
"Usually when someone tried to
do that guessing game, they got it
wrong," Miranda said with a laugh.
"That just feels like it's a credit to
our process."
Inspired by the teen cheerlead-
ing movie franchise, "Bring It On:
The Musical" was as risky a move
for the creators as one of the human
pyramids the performers do on-
stage. Yet all three are now basking
in the glow of its well-received
Broadway debut.
"Whether you were a cheer-
leader or whether you were a the-
ater geek as I was something
in the show will hopefully speak to
you. That's always the goal: To tran-
scend everybody's stereotype," said
Miranda.
The musical has an original story
by Jeff Whitty, who wrote "Avenue
Q," and is directed and choreo-
graphed by Tony winner Andy
Blankenbuehler, who choreo-
graphed "In the Heights." But the
real key to the show has been its
songs assigned not to a single
person, but to three.
Miranda, who conceived and
wrote the music for "In the
Heights" and Pulitzer Prize-winner
Kitt, who wrote the songs for "Next
to Normal," had admired each
other's work, but never collabo-
rated before. Green had teamed up
with Kitt before, writing lyrics to
their musical "High Fidelity," but


hadn't worked with Miranda.
Blankenbuehler approached
each with the idea of joining forces
and they jumped maybe even
tumbled at the chance. "When
the idea was first presented to me,
the team of artists was so exciting,
you just thought, 'Well, that's a room
I want to be in,"' Kitt says.
The musical tells the story of a
white cheer queen from Truman
High School who is redistricted into
a more urban school the summer
she is supposed to take over the
squad as captain. Thrust into the
unfamiliar Jackson High School,
she adapts and helps build her own
dance crew to compete with her old
school.
Miranda, whose credits also in-
clude the Spanish translations for the
2009 Broadway revival of "West Side
Story," sees a connection between the
feel-good story and the real-life
process of creating the musical.
"I think the show is about theater
It is about how you cannot create
something like this on your own.
Having the best idea in the room
win and having the interplay of col-
laboration both onstage and off, we
can create something larger than
ourselves if we do it right. That's
what our characters come to realize
in the show and that's the lesson we
relearned working together"
More than 20 songs have made
the final score following a 13-city
national tour and one in Act II is
new for Broadway (In fact, it's only
a few weeks old.) The creators say
the writing process was organic.
"We started bringing stuff in and
establishing our own musical vo-
cabulary and, then as we continued
working, we started borrowing
themes, we started writing songs to-
gether, and now I don't think there's
a song in the show that we all don't
have our fingerprints on at some
point or another," says Miranda.
Or as Green puts it: "We really got
into each other's jar of


peanut butter"
To learn more about the young
people they were writing about, the
team learned cheer vocabulary,
trolled web sites of interest to high-
schoolers and watched competitions
on ESPN. Green and Kitt actually
went to a meet the National
Cheerleaders Association at Man-
hattan's Hammerstein Ballroom.
"We were all chasing this very
contemporary, heightened cheer
world," said Miranda. Of the music
they heard, he added: "It's these
pop songs sped up to a crystal meth-
crack level. So what's the musical
theater version of that?"
Once written, though, their songs
often needed serious tweaks since
they weren't exactly fitting into a
conventional musical. For one
thing, they learned it's hard to sing
while making a basket catch.
"We'd come in with a soaring bal-
lad, only to be informed that it
wouldn't work then because two of
the girls will be upside down and
three others will be making a cos-
tume change," Miranda said.
Behind the scenes, the trio insist
there was little rancor among the
accomplished songwriters. "I think
we all pushed each other," said
Green, whose father is Broadway
lyricist Adolph Green.
Miranda agrees: "It ended up
being sort of a wonderful system of
checks and balances. If we were all
on board, then we knew we had
something special."
Kitt is in synch with that notion:
"Everybody was so respectful. It's
that great thing where people argue
their points people are going to
disagree but it's in the name of
the piece. Everyone was working
toward one thing."
So happy was the collaboration
that the team has jokingly made up
titles for a sequel. There's "Bring It
On 2: Electric Boogaloo" and "Bring
It On 2: Summer School." Miranda's
favorite is "Still Bringing It."


Tyson said he's used to putting life on stage

Mike Tyson. The former

Birthday Even though you'll have ample opportunity to
expand your social circle in the year ahead, take care to
mix different elements carefully. For example, if you're
wise, you might want to keep your business friends sepa-
rated from your close pals.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Be up front and forthright about re-
questing favors, and you're more likely to be granted what you
ask of others. When you're coy, it tends to cause people in
your sphere of influence to feel as if they're being manipulated.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept 22) Keep your expectations within rea-
sonable bounds when negotiating a deal with another. Remem-
ber, each time something is given to you, it is best to always
give something that is at the very least equivalent in return.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don't hesitate to disassociate
yourself from your associates or co-workers in order to
achieve an important objective, if you find they can't emu-
late your ambition and drive.


puted Truth." Directed by
Spike Lee, the nearly two-
hour show chronicles Tyson's
life from childhood and his
early boxing career to his
public divorce from Robin
Givens and his time spent in
prison. He even talks about
an incident with Brad Pitt
"I'm just joking and stuff.
I'm not mad at anyone. I
hope he gives me a damn
job," Tyson said when asked
about the incident. The
boxer spoke to The Associ-


ated Press Thurs-
day, the same day as
the show's opening.
Lee chimed in:
"He asked for a job."
Lee, famous for
chronicling stories
about Brooklyn in
such films as
"Crooklyn," "She's
Gotta Have It," and
the upcoming "Red
Summer," feels this
adds nicely to
collection.


Today's HOROSCOPE

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you want to do your best in
a competitive involvement, playing the game must be more
important to you than winning. Stay loose, and you'll enjoy
every minute of it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Although there are usu-
ally some complications involved, joint ventures look to be
promising for you. Attempt to maintain parity of effort re-
gardless of who else is involved.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Unless you and your mate
are in accord on the major and minor points of an important
issue, little of value will be achieved. Each must be support-
ive of the other.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be very careful about your
spending habits if you are shopping with someone who isn't
as materially fortunate as you. Thoughtless actions could
make him or her feel totally inferior.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Don't put yourself in the po-


"You can't get
more Brooklyn than
Mike Tyson. And if
you remember the
film, 'Do the Right
Thing,' the great
Robin Harris (play-
ing Sweet Dick
Mike Willie) had many
Tyson references to Mike.
And at the side of
Hook Sal's Famous Pizzeria we
work painted a mural, Brooklyn's
the Finest: Mike Tyson, so this
is history," Lee said.


sition of having to make a choice between spending time
with someone you like and with someone you're obligated
to. Find a way to get everyone mixing together.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -An activity that appeals to
you might not be as equally tantalizing to another, so don't
foist it on him or her. Try to come up with something that
everyone enjoys.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Try to relax and enjoy life a
bit, but don't do so at the expense of neglecting a big re-
sponsibility or major duty. You wouldn't have any fun with
things hanging over your head.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) -Although you'll be both indus-
trious and clever, you could easily yield to extravagant whims
that would diminish your returns. Try to stay on course.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Do your best to keep your
emotions on an even keel so you don't suffer any sudden
mood swings that could frustrate everyone.

the 218th day of 2012. There
are 148 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight:
On Aug. 5, 1962, actress
Marilyn Monroe, 36, was
found dead in her Los Ange-
les home; her death was

COMMENTARY
CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE -


Pets in perpetuity


Working toward

a no-kill shelter
FRANK YELLING
Special to the Chronicle
On July 10, a "No Kill Res-
olution" for Citrus
County Animal Services
was given to Citrus
County commissioners to be
placed on their agenda for a vote.
This will give Animal Services
three months to draw up their no-
kill plan and submit it to our
county commissioners.
They will have two years to ac-
complish the goal of saving 90
percent of the shelter animals.
The Manatee County Animal
Shelter is working toward no-kill
and is now at an 81 percent save
rate. This includes both dogs and
cats.
Hillsborough County has now
hired a no-kill director and is
working toward no-kill.
This is happening all over the
country It is estimated that 17
million people will bring home a
new dog or cat during the next
year. There will be 4 million ani-
mals killed in shelters. Therefore,
no healthy or savable animals
should be killed in animal shel-
ters. Shelters need to do a much
better job of promoting the ani-
mals so the majority of these peo-
ple will adopt their new cat or
dog from a shelter, thereby saving
those animals' lives.
Having a shelter that works to-
ward no-kill doesn't mean hous-
ing more and more animals as
some people think. It means the
shelter manager and director will
initiate the right practices to get
the animals adopted. They must
have more offsite adoptions, not
depending solely on an outside
rescue group but also having their
own adoption events with their
staff participating to maximize
the number of animals adopted.
Rescue groups and volunteers
are appreciated but do need as-
sistance from the shelter The
shelter needs to provide counsel-
ing for anyone attempting to turn
in their pets; one person assigned
to give the people advice on
where free food is available, and
where low-cost spay and neuter
and low-cost vaccinations are
available. There needs to be a
waiting period before you can
turn in a pet and given this coun-
seling during this time.
They must also be told that
their pet may be euthanized if it
is not adopted. People are not al-
ways aware of this and may have
a friend or relative who may take
their pet instead of leaving it at
the shelter. Or, upon hearing this,
they will find a shelter that is no-
kill where the chances of getting

sewer plan pulls owners together '
The city of Crystal River, in
partnership with the Board
of County Commissioners, is

School starts Wednesday


While it seems early, I hear
from plenty of students
(and parents) that they are
eager to return to school.
So here is the latest
on what they will find.
We have approxi-
mately 100 new teach-
ers this year, more than
a few who are Citrus
County public school
graduates returning
home to teach. They
bring a new wave of en-
thusiasm and are help- Pat Deu
ing usher in the GUI
increased use of tech-
nology in the classroom COLI
because this new gener-
ation of teachers has never lived in
a world without computers. (That
should make some of us feel plenty
old I remember our first
television!)
Imagine the day students will not
need backpacks to carry around 50
pounds of text books. At Citrus
Springs Middle School,that day is
here. All seventh-grade students
are being given their own iPad to
use in place of traditional text-
books and they will be used as a
method to do assignments they can
turn in to the teacher via email!
Funding for this project was from
the Race to the Top grant and they
will be our prototype classrooms.
This powerful handheld tablet
computer cannot only access the
Internet but comes packed with
many "apps," or programs, such as
iPresidents, rich with historical in-


formation like an encyclopedia,
videos on science lessons, a chalk-
board-like ability to "write" on the
iPad surface and reading text that
allows the user to touch
any word with their fin-
ger and its definition
pops up!
A student can even
dissect a "virtual" in-
sect almost better than
a real one no mess,
S no smell, no blades.
Studying geography, a
;schman student can access a 360
EST degree view of anyplace
they are studying, from
JMN on top of the Eiffel
Tower to the foot of the
Great Pyramids.
How the world has changed.
Students will be allowed to take
their iPad home to do their home-
work, read their textbook or review
the lessons. It will also let them
work on a group project with other
students from anywhere in the
world. Pretty cool stuff.
This moves us closer to changing
the way students are taught. With
the use of technology, the classroom
can be "flipped" by providing stu-
dents a pre-recorded video lesson
taught by their teacher; they can
watch as their homework assign-
ment from home. They then come
prepared to class with questions,
work on solving problems and dig
deeper on developing a project.
The student can review the "les-
son" as many times as they need to

reunite the loose animals with
their owners.
They all need to scan the ani-
mals in the field to see if they
have a microchip. They should
also go door to door where the an-
imal is found and check to see if
anyone knows where the owner
lives and take the dog or cat back
there.
Also, they should post signs on
poles in the area with this ani-
mal's information and picture.
Then, make sure it is put online
and shared through the shelter


site and also on Facebook. Re-
turn-to-owner is one of the best
ways to lower admissions at a
shelter.
We must work with the public
and help them get their animals
back without imposing a heavy
fine where they cannot afford to
pick up their dog or cat and then
it winds up being euthanized.
I have seen people walk away
from the counter at Animal Serv-
ices and leave without their dog
because they could not afford to
pay the fees. We were successful
in adopting the feral cat ordi-
nance here in Citrus County, and
The Humanitarians have done an
excellent job of spaying and neu-
tering more than 600 cats in
colonies.
Our commissioners showed
their concern for the animals as
all voted unanimously for this. We
now ask them to continue working
toward a no-kill animal shelter by
placing this resolution on their
agenda and adopting it.
All healthy and savable animals
need to be given the chance to
find a "forever home," and we as
a humane people have an obliga-
tion to make this happen.

Not a good idea.


US football's big problem


re you ready for some
football? First, however,
are you ready for some
autopsies?
The opening of the
NFL training camps
coincided with the
closing of the investi-
gation into the April (
suicide by gunshot of
Ray Easterling, 62, an
eight-season NFL
safety in the 1970s. The -
autopsy found moder-
ately severe chronic Georg
traumatic en- OTI
cephalopathy (CTE), VOI
progressive damage to
the brain associated
with repeated blows to the head.
CTE was identified as a major
cause of Easterling's depression
and dementia.
In February 2011, Dave Duer-
son, 50, an 11-year NFL safety,
committed suicide by shooting
himself in the chest to spare his
brain tissue for research, which
has found evidence of CTE. Brain
tissue of 20-season linebacker
Junior Seau, who was 43 when he
killed himself the same way in
May, is being studied. The NFL
launched a mental health hotline
developed and operated with the
assistance of specialists in sui-
cide prevention.
Football is bigger than ever, in
several senses. Bear Bryant's
1966 undefeated Alabama team
had only 19 players who weighed
more than 200 pounds. The heav-
iest weighed 223. The linemen av-
eraged 194. The quarterback
weighed 177. Today, many high
school teams are much bigger In
1980, only three NFL players
weighed 300 or more pounds. In
2011, according to pro-football-
reference.com, there were 352,
including three 350-pounders.
Thirty-one of the NFEs 32 offen-
sive lines averaged more than
300.
Various unsurprising studies

men it is much less.

We are, however, rap-
idly reaching the point where
playing football is like smoking
cigarettes: The risks are well-
known.
Not that this has prevented
smokers from successfully suing
tobacco companies. But then,
smoking is an addiction. Football
is just an increasingly guilty
pleasure. MightAmericans some-
day feel as queasy enjoying it as
sensible people now do watching
boxing and wondering how the
nation was once enamored of a
sport the point of which is brain

Re: Mike Wright's article Aug.

By their definition, "brash-
ness" (unthinking and impetu-
ous), and "bravado" (a pretense
of courage) are incorrect words
to describe my responses to
questions.
My answers were factual, re-
searched, experience-based, and
were far from "unthinking."
I said that "special interests"
were the biggest threat to sur-
face and ground waters because
they were buying the undoing of
laws that protect the resource.
The "water wars" of the past,
which cost millions in litigation
and caused damage, were finally
addressed legislatively years ago
when we passed good. fair,
water law. This was based on
much debate, science, public
hearings throughout the state,
and crossed the aisle and re-
gional boundaries. This policy
had stood and protected us for
years until gutted by the current

own bill that took that local con-
trol away. That is not "bravado,"
it is fact.
My contempt for hypocrisy,


going to be steered away from
youth football, diverting the flow
of talent to the benefit of other
sports.
In the NFL, especially, football
is increasingly a spectacle, a
game surrounded by manufac-
tured frenzy, on the grass and in
the increasingly unpleasant am-
biance of the fans in the stands.
Football on the field is a three-
hour adrenaline-and-testosterone
bath. For all its occasional ele-
gance and beauty, it is basically vi-
olence for, among other purposes,
inflicting intimidating pain. (Seau
said his job was "to inflict pain on
my opponent and have him quit")
The New Orleans Saints'
"bounty" system of cash payments
to players who knocked opposing
players out of games crossed a
line distinguishing the essence of
the game from the perversion of
it. This is, however, an increas-
ingly faint line.
Decades ago, this column light-
heartedly called football a mis-
take because it combines two of
the worst features of American
life violence, punctuated by
committee meetings, which foot-
ball calls huddles. Now, however,

new understandings of the
human body the brain, espe-
cially, but not exclusively com-
pel the conclusion that football is
a mistake because the body is not
built to absorb, and cannot be ad-
equately modified by training or
protected by equipment to ab-
sorb, the game's kinetic energies.
After 18 people died playing
football in 1905, even President
Theodore Roosevelt, who loved
war and gore generally, flinched
and forced some rules changes.
Today, however, the problem is
not the rules; it is the fiction that
football can be fixed and still re-
semble the game fans relish.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


An idiotic decision should be called one


Most recently, I read about a
state law set to take effect
in two years that will
require all eighth-graders to pass
a civics test before they
can go on to high
school. It seems
everything else they've
done during their
previous nine years of
public schooling makes
no difference. One test,
one subject, pass or
fail. No ifs, no ands, no
buts. Fred B
Taken a step further, A S
a student who doesn't
pass the test will be OF
stuck in eighth grade,
forever.
If I'd read this on an Internet
site, I would have dismissed it as
fictionalized rabble-rousing, but I
didn't. It was printed in the
Chronicle with comments from
one of our school board members


I

I
I


who categorized the law as
"idiotic."
Going to school certainly isn't
what it used to be.
Cheryl and I have
grandchildren in
fkB three different school
zones two districts
in Florida and one in
Texas and we never
really know when the
kids will be in school
and when they won't.
They begin and finish
rannen on different dates; the
LICE time for spring break
ranges by as much as a
LIFE month from one dis-
trict to another; holi-
days taken are not consistent; and
there are any number of teachers'
work days and early dismissal
days determined by heaven only
knows what.
From the time I started in 1951
until graduating in 1963, school al-


ways started on the Tuesday after
Labor Day and always ended dur-
ing the first week of June. No
doubt this was influenced by the
fact I went to school here in
Florida and never saw an air-con-
ditioned classroom. We simply
didn't have it, so going to school in
July and August would have been
horrendous because of the heat.
We had two days off for
Thanksgiving and two weeks off
for Christmas. There was no such
thing as spring break, we got the
Friday before and the Monday
after Easter that was it.
Yes, it was simpler back then,
but that doesn't mean we were ex-
empt from idiotic decisions.
The civics test issue reminded
me of a last-minute requirement I
had to meet in order to graduate
from high school. I'd spent the
first three years making sure all of
my required courses were com-
pleted so, as a senior, I only


needed to take two classes,
leaving me free to work every
afternoon. That is, until someone,
somewhere decided that to
graduate, all students must take
and pass a course in Americanism
vs. Communism. I've always
suspected it was the same guy who
decided to teach us to duck under
our desks and cover our heads to
be safe during a nuclear attack.
The Americanism vs.
Communism class would've
wreaked havoc on my work
schedule, but I, along with others,
was vocal enough to be "allowed"
to come in at 7 o'clock in the
mornings to complete the nine-
week course. I made an "A" on the
subject matter, but my outspoken
displeasure at the idiocy of the
requirement earned me a "D" for
deportment.
That "D" was the only grade
lower than an "A" I received
during my senior year, but it was


the grade of which I was most
proud. It really felt good to stand
up to the system and speak my
mind, especially when, after being
told to sit down and be quiet, I
replied to those in charge that
freedom of speech, including my
freedom of speech, was at the very
core of Americanism. It felt good,
but it netted me a threat of a three-
day suspension for in-
subordination, and at that point, I
had enough sense to sit down and
shut up.
To the outspoken school board
member who will remain
nameless in this column due to the
upcoming elections, I say, "Amen."
When the system runs amok, an
idiotic decision should be called
an idiotic decision.

Modern America is to blame


ne hears constant criticisms of Pres-
ident Obama as the election in No-
vember nears: He does not
understand economics because he never
held a job in the private sector nor ran a
business. (He did hold a private-sector job
for a short time, but tells us he felt as if he
were in the enemy's camp.)
The grandparents who raised
him were political radicals op-
posed to market capitalism. His
mentor, Frank Marshall Davis,
was a staunch believer in com-
munism as the best economic
system. Another mentor and
Chicago community organizer,
Saul Alinsky, wrote the hand-
book for radicals on the best Dr. Willi
ways to take down our constitu-
tional republic without starting OTI
an open revolution. (Hillary VOI
Clinton was and may still be an
Alinsky follower, as well.) His
preacher of 20 years who officiated at his
marriage and later baptized his children
was an overt racist who blamed whites and
capitalism for all of the world's wrongs.
His political background is Chicago,
famed for corruption and dirty tricks. He
won his first state Senate seat by under-
handedly disqualifying his competitors. He
was elected to the national Senate when his
Republican opponent dropped out. Myste-
riously, the sealed divorce proceedings of
Obama's opponent containing accusations
of serious misbehavior appeared on the
desk of the local editor in typical Chicago
fashion right before the election.
Anyone who took the time to look at
Obama's background would have known
what he would do once elected to the pres-
idency He told us he would radically
change America. He has made a good start
at taking control of our economy and regu-
lating it to achieve social and economic
"justice."
President Obama is not the problem. We
are. We have the government we deserve.
Most of us have become lazy and self-
indulgent. We want what we want now, and
if we cannot get it, then we demand the gov-
ernment help us get it. If we make bad judg-
ments about getting an education or about
a mortgage, if we make self-destructive
choices regarding our health, if we have not
saved enough for retirement, then, govern-
ment is to help us. If government must take
property from other citizens to satisfy our
needs, well, we are entitled to the help. It
seems to us only "justice" to take from peo-
ple who have more than they need.

tional lesson at their finger-

All of our classrooms are
now equipped with interac-

of blackboards and chalk (no

students can write on an
electronic tablet that is pro-

problems to solve, show
videos or have students
show their work on the
board while she can be
standing in the back of the
class or walking around con-
trolling everything that is on
the board at the same time.
It has unleashed the teacher
from simply standing in the
front of the class, enriches
the lessons, and completely
engages students in active
learning. I never see stu-
dents not paying attention or
acting up as the classroom is

vidual rights linked with limitations on the
freedoms governments may take from indi-
vidual citizens. Our nation became great on
the backs of individuals, not committees,
individuals working for rewards or a profit
Their efforts raised us all up and added
wealth to our nation. We once rewarded in-
dividual efforts and praised
winners.
Not so much today Profit has
become a dirty word. Our
schools discourage individual
winners for fear of offending the
sensibilities of the losers. We
favor group efforts, group pride,
togetherness no matter the bad
outcomes. Being "average" is
m Dixon most acceptable. We spend more
time and wealth helping our fail-
IER ures than we do in promoting
CES our winners. Yet, most who are
failing will remain failures de-
spite all.
And if someone wins? We accuse him of
doing so on the backs of others: "You didn't
make that!" We accuse the successful of tak-
ing a too-big share of the economic pie at
the expense of the rest of us. We raise their
taxes and make them feel guilty about their
success. That they have added to our
wealth and created opportunities for oth-
ers goes unremarked.
Make no mistake. I believe President
Obama needs to be replaced. He has suc-
cessfully and articulately led us away from
the principles that made us the greatest na-
tion in the history of the world. But, if he is
defeated, will it make a difference? The next
president will face demands for goods and
services from the same dependent, unen-
lightened citizenry that elected Obama.
What will happen when their needs go
unmet? Will they not, once again, trade away
their freedoms and independence to leftist
politicians who promise them security?
For those of us who would change the di-
rection of our country back toward its roots,
this election is but the first battle in a very
long war whose outcome I may not live long
enough to see.

But is it really relevant
how much a certain candi-

the general public seems

that candidate has been

basis, public policymakers
have moved forward with
the project.
Some residents have con-
tinued to argue against the
project, and Mr Norm Hop-
kins has surfaced as a
spokesman for that cause.
In that role, Mr. Hopkins ap-
parently spoke with the
Chronicle and made a num-
ber of comments, as re-
flected in a recent story, that
are simply inaccurate, or
which display a lack of un-
derstanding of how this
project has progressed to
the point it has today
To address his state-
ments, I would offer the fol-
lowing responses:
Statement: The city and
county are working from the
wrong type of agreement.
Response: An interlocal
boundary agreement, iden-
tified by Mr. Hopkins as the
appropriate type of agree-
ment, is authorized by
171.20 of Florida Statutes
and is intended to deal with
annexation or contraction
of city limits, and the provi-
sion of services in such situ-
ations. An interlocal
boundary agreement would
be inappropriate for this
project inasmuch as the
clear intent of both the city
and the county was to not
require annexation as a
condition of getting sewer
service (Section 3 of the


agreement).
An interlocal boundary
agreement was used in the
case of the Plantation Inn,
as noted by Mr Hopkins, be-
cause the Plantation had re-
quested to annex into the
city, and there was a con-
cern that completing that
annexation might create an
impermissible enclave with
the Harbor Isle neighbor-
hood. To eliminate that po-
tential concern, and to
provide assurance to the
Harbor Isle residents that
they would not be forced to
annex at some point in the
future, the city and the
county executed the inter-
local boundary agreement.
Interlocal agreements
have been used to establish
utility service areas be-
tween the city and the
county since at least 1992.
An interlocal agreement has
been in place between the
city of Inverness and the
county since 1989 for the
same purpose.
Statement: The original
state grant required the
county to provide a match-
ing fund of 15 percent, and
later transferred that re-
sponsibility to the city.
Response: The city was
the original grant applicant
Statement: The city had
100 percent funding from
the state since it took a loan
for the 15 percent not cov-
ered by the grant.
Response: Loans have to
be repaid. It has always
been the clear intent of the
city that the loan would be

paid off through assess-
ments against those prop-
erty owners who received
sewer service. Residents of
the city who got sewer serv-
ice through the DEP grant
were assessed in the same
manner.
Statement: The loan
would be no liability to the
city.
Response: Again, loans
have to be repaid. The city
is the entity that has the ul-
timate legal liability to
repay this loan.
Statement The city is ask-
ing for the money up front
from the property owners.
Response: The county is
handling the assessment
program for this project.
The terms of the assessment
program allow for payment
over 10 years. At the request
of the Board of County Com-
missioners, City Council
took action on Aug. 22, 2011,
to allow payment of the ex-
pansion fee over 10 years.
This allowed for a signifi-
cantly longer payment pe-
riod for the expansion fees
for most property owners
than previously established
under city code provisions.


Statement The connection
fee of $3,425 must be paid for
each parcel, whether a house
is on it or not
Response: The connection
fee is not payable on a va-
cant lot unless and until a
permit is requested to build
a house or commercial
structure on it. The assess-
ment fee is payable on va-
cant lots, as prescribed in
State Statute 153.05 ("all lots
and parcels which abut upon
the side or sides of any street
in or along which side or
sides a sanitary sewer shall
have been constructed").
Statement: The $3,425
connection fee is an arbi-
trary number arrived at as a
legacy figure of $2,740 plus a
25 percent surcharge.
Response: The $2,740 ex-
pansion (capacity) fee was
developed through a Capac-
ity Fee Analysis conducted
as part of the FY 2007 Water
& Sewer Rate Study con-
ducted on behalf of the city
by the firm of Burton & As-
sociates. Burton & Associ-
ates has been providing
utility rate services to gov-
ernments and utilities
throughout Florida for


more than 20 years and con-
ducts over 60 studies a year.
Clients for similar services
in just the past two years
have included Pinellas
County, St. Petersburg, Fort
Myers, Venice, Cape Coral,
Palatka, Fort Lauderdale,
Cocoa, Clearwater, Dunnel-
lon, and Port St. Joe, among
others.
Statement: The 25 per-
cent surcharge is permissi-
ble when administrative
and engineering costs are
not separately funded. The
surcharge should not apply
in this case since adminis-
trative and engineering
costs are included in state
funding.
Response: Section
180.191(l)(a) states that mu-
nicipalities operating a
water or sewer utility out-
side of its boundaries may
charge consumers outside
of its boundaries a sur-
charge of not more than 25
percent of such fees, rates,
and charges charged to con-
sumers inside its bound-
aries. The language is clear,
and there is no mention of
the funding of administra-
tive and engineering costs
as a condition of the 25 per-
cent surcharge being appli-
cable. The interlocal
agreement executed in 2009
clearly sets forth (Sections 5
and 6) that the city shall
charge the allowable sur-
charge. In addition, the city
already charges the sur-
charge to customers outside
of its boundaries, and the
city of Inverness, in accor-

CANDICE CHOI
AP Food Industry Writer

-NEW YORK
Cornflakes won't necessar-
ily be more expensive as a
result of rising corn
prices, but the milk you pour
over them might be.
A drought covering two-thirds
of the country has damaged
much of the country's corn crops
and pushed grain prices to
record levels, triggering fears a
spike in food prices will soon
follow.
But many factors determine
the price of goods on supermar-
ket shelves. A diminished corn
supply doesn't mean all food
prices will be affected the same
way
In fact, you're more likely to
see higher prices for milk and
meat than corn on the cob.
That's because the sweet corn
shoppers buy at a grocery store
is grown differently and not as
vulnerable to drought condi-
tions. As for the corn used as
grain feed for cows, however,
farmers are paying more as the
drought persists.
"The financial stress is start-
ing to mount because the bills
(to feed the cows) are bigger
than they were six months ago,"
said Chris Galen, a spokesman
for the National Milk Producers
Federation.
"What will consumers see as a
result? That's where it gets a lit-
tle murkier."
One major factor complicating
the equation is the amount su-
permarkets decide to mark up
the foods they sell to shoppers.
Since supermarkets are facing
stiffer competition from big-box
retailers and drug stores, they're
being much more judicious
about how much of their rising
costs they pass on to customers.
Nevertheless, the Agriculture
Department said last week it ex-
pects grocery prices to rise be-
tween 3 percent and 4 percent
next year, which is slightly
higher than normal.
Here's a look at how different
foods will be impacted:
Meat and dairy
In addition to paying more to
feed their cows, farmers are
dealing with grazing pastures
that have been baked dry The
combination is resulting in
farmers selling off the animals
they can't afford to feed in re-
cent weeks, particularly since
cattle supplies are already lim-
ited and beef prices have been
climbing steadily in recent
years.
Beef from those animals
streaming into auction yards is
expected to start showing up in
grocery stores in November and
December, temporarily driving
down meat prices.
"The irony is that we could
start seeing some price reduc-
tions in the short run," said


S- 4. W -


Associated Press
Butcher Freddie Quina cuts meat July 25 at Super Cao Nguyen in Oklahoma City. The record drought grip-
ping half the country will help push food prices up by 3 percent to 4 percent next year, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture said.


Bruce Jones, a professor of agri-
cultural economics at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.
By early next year, however,
prices are expected to spike as a
result of the smaller livestock
herds and dwindling meat sup-
plies. Already, the number of
cattle in the U.S. has been drop-
ping for years and the USDA
said this month the nation's cat-
tle inventory was the smallest
since the agency began an an-
nual count in 1973.
Next year, the USDA said beef
prices are expected to jump 4
percent to 5 percent, making it
among the biggest price hikes
for food. Dairy product prices
are expected to climb 3.5 per-
cent to 4.5 percent, poultry and
egg prices up by 3 percent to 4
percent, and pork prices up by
2.5 percent to 3.5 percent.
Fruits and vegetables
So why isn't anyone talking
about a shortage of fruits and
vegetables in light of the
drought? Unlike the corn grown
to make animal feed and oil,
produce sold in supermarkets is
typically irrigated by farms and
not as affected when there's a
lack of rain.
In addition, supermarkets im-
port many of their fruits and
vegetables from other countries
- such as, bell peppers from
Holland so they can keep sup-
plies and prices in check even if
one source isn't producing a
large amount.
Fruits and vegetables are also
a loss leader for supermarkets.
That means they're often sold at
a loss in hopes of attracting
shoppers who will spend on
other items, said Lisa Schacht,
president of the Ohio Produce
Growers and Marketers
Association.
At farmers markets where
consumers buy directly from
growers, a spike in prices might
be more pronounced. That's be-
cause the relentless heat is mak-
ing it harder to grow certain
fruits and vegetables.
"Even if you irrigate your pep-


* GRRR-OCERY ALERT:
Drought has damaged much
of the U.S. corn crop. As a
result, the Agriculture
Department expects grocery
prices to rise between
3 percent and 4 percent
next year, slightly more than
usual.
BEEF UP: Beef prices are
expected to spike by early
next year as a result of
smaller livestock herds and
dwindling meat supplies.
The USDA says the price
hike will be among the
biggest of any food item, up
to 5 percent.
SPIKE-FREE: Fruit and veg-
etable prices are projected
to rise only 2 percent to
3 percent. Produce is typi-
cally irrigated by farms and
not as affected by drought
conditions.

pers, you're seeing a 30 percent
reduction from the heat," said
Bryn Bird, whose family owns
Bird's Haven Farms, a farm out-
side of Granville, Ohio. "They
just don't want to grow."
The result is Bird's Haven is
selling tomatoes at $3.25 per
pound, compared with the $1.99
per pound that's more typical
this time of year The types of
available produce might differ
too. At Bird's Haven, the okra
and eggplant are growing fine in
the heat, but the family has
given up on cucumbers.
"They're coming up, but
they're just not fruiting," Bird
said. "There a lot of vines with
nothing on them."
As for the ears of corn sold at
supermarkets, there shouldn't
be a huge spike in prices. The
sweet corn people eat is typi-
cally irrigated like other fruits
and vegetables. And although
the drought is pressuring farm-
ers, it's not to the same severity
as the corn fields that produce
animal feed.
Overall, the USDA projects an
overall 2 percent to 3 percent
price increase for fruits and veg-


tables next year. That's in line
with this year's increase.
Packaged foods
Another worry is that the
price of many packaged foods
that contain corn or corn ingre-
dients will climb. High-fructose
corn syrup, for example, is used
in a wide variety of foods such
as cookies, yogurt, cereals and
spaghetti sauces. A can of regu-
lar soda contains 40 grams of the
sweetener.
The corn ingredients that are
used in packaged foods mostly
aren't irrigated either, meaning
they're also vulnerable to the va-
garies of weather and the price
fluctuations.
But keep in mind that such in-
gredients are often a tiny frac-
tion of the costs that go into
packaged foods. Among the
many expenses food makers
such as Kellogg Co. and Kraft
Foods Inc. also have to foot:
packaging material, labor, adver-
tising and fuel for trucks to get
their products to stores.
Based even on today's high
corn prices, a 12-ounce box of
cornflakes would have only
about 8 cents worth of corn, said
Paul Bertels, vice president of
production and utilization at the
National Corn Growers
Association.
That's a very small portion of
the $4 or so consumers might
pay for that box of cereal.
"When you look at final food
products, the more processing
there is, the less significant the
price of the raw materials," Ber-
tels said. "A lot of it is advertis-
ing and marketing."
Food makers also have other
ways of managing their costs,
such as cutting back on how
much they put in a package.
Even before the drought, Pepsi-
Co Inc. said earlier this year it
put fewer chips in its Frito-Lay
bags as a way to offset higher in-
gredient costs.
And for consumers watching
their budgets, a few less chips
per bag might be preferable to
paying more, anyway

with the same product line or serv-
ice offerings. Strategic mistakes,

won't help. There's no one to sell to.
Staying ahead of the curve means
developing a strategic plan to offset
an abrupt change in your market.
Your business plan
The foundation of your
business is the business
plan, which should pro-
vide for strategic plan-
ning. Review your plan
annually Frequent as-
sessments can open up
ideas for growth
opportunities.
Sudden shifts in mar-
kets can happen as a re-
derick sult of natural disasters,
zog arrival or departure of
IENCE major industries and
*ERS price point spikes or
higher costs. Perform a
SWOT analysis with each yearly re-
view of your business performance.
Remember to SWOT
Performing a SWOT analysis is a
great business discipline. SWOT
stands for identifying:
Strengths areas that give you
an advantage. Look at how they can


be enhanced and if they will remain
positive in the future.
Weaknesses areas in which
your business may not be competi-
tive, and how might this shortcom-
ing be avoided.
Opportunities look for
emerging markets and trends that
could increase sales.
Threats conditions that may
compromise your product line or
service levels. This may represent
new technology, improved service
or product performance, etc.
Success through
information gathering
Information technology has
greatly improved marketing re-
search. If one looks hard enough
there is virtually no limit to finding
opportunity through information
readily available.
Here are a few old and new ways
to collect information to enhance
your business.
New and old techniques
Industry websites and trade as-
sociation memberships.
Specialized magazines,


newsletters and commur
newspapers.
Social media blogs and
cial networking sites such as Fa
book, LinkedIn and Twitter,
latter offers Real Time insights.

SMART
MONEY


Moonlight


to tackle


your debt

D EAR BRUCE:
There was a time
when I was con-
vinced that store credit
cards were the way to go.
Unfortunately, they got
the best of me. Five years
later, I'm still trying to pay
them off. The problem is
the interest on the cards is
as much as 22 percent. I
am not even close to pay-
ing off the principal
amounts. My credit is shot,
and I can't get any loans at
the moment
Do you think I should
consider debt consolida-
tion? I have contacted the
companies and asked
them to lower the interest
rates, but to avail. I don't
know where to turn next.
Reader, via email
DEAR READER: When
you say "debt consolida-
tion," I think you are re-
ferring to companies that
negotiate with your credi-
tors for lower rates of in-
terest. Debt consolidators
most likely would charge
you an upfront fee; they
also might charge you a
percentage of the amount
you pay the lender. Even
though you might end up
paying less per month be-
cause of these companies'
ability to negotiate with
your creditors, I would be
reluctant to pay a contin-
uing fee.
If you have a full-time
job and cannot put a dent
in this debt, you should
consider getting a part-
time job and devoting that
money to paying it down.
Good luck.
DEAR BRUCE: My
mother recently died, and
I discovered she has no
will, estate, executor, etc.
When she died, she had
only $350 in her bank ac-
count, which has subse-
quently been closed out.
She has outstanding
bills, and there is no
money to pay any of them.
She didn't even have life
insurance that we could
use to pay these bills. We
had to pay for the funeral
with the money she had
and supplement it with
our own money What hap-
pens to the rest of her
bills? Reader, via email
DEAR READER: The
easiest thing for you to do
is to write to each of the
creditors. Enclose a copy
of your mother's death
certificate, along with a
letter telling the creditor
there was no money left in
her estate even to pay for
her funeral.
You can further state
h the estate was not pro-
bated because there was
nity nothing to probate.
I think this should close
so- out the matter Whatever
ace- you do, don't ignore the
the bills. Meet this head-on
and let the creditors know
ent. the situation.
kes. DEAR BRUCE: My
ses. mother, who is 66, works
)th- full time, rents her home
and has nothing set up for
her retirement. Essen-
me tially, she has nothing. She
ve, recently inherited some
S52- money $114,000, to be

fice been a frail person, and I

NEW WAY TO HONOR

GARY MAIDHOF'S MEMORY


Citrus is such an amazing and
giving community that the
$10,000 goal for a STEPS schol-
arship in Gary Maidhof's name
has been exceeded. Isn't that
great!!
It was suggested that if we
reached the $10,000 goal, we
could start an Education Fund
for Gary's 3-year-old grandson,
Jeramiah. An account is now
open for that specific purpose at
SunTrust Bank of the Nature
Coast. This is another opportu-
nity to continue to help Gary's
family
The advantage of this ap-
proach versus a special-purpose
scholarship for him at our local
community college is that he may
not want to go to CF or they might
not offer what he wants to study
All checks should be made


payable to: Jeramiah Maidhof
Education Fund (yes, that is the
correct spelling of Jeramiah).
These funds may be sent to any of
three places:
Citrus County Administra-
tive Offices, Attn: Brad Thorpe,
110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness,
FL 34450;

MAL SHEHHERU MIX
Are you looking for your
new best friend? Little
Bear is an awesome
companion. He's a
2-year-old shepherd mix
whose owner gave him
up due to housing issues.
He learns quickly, knows
some basic commands
and is very laid-back and
well mannered in the
house, preferring to rest
on the floor wherever his
human is. While he gets
along well with other dogs
on walks and on public
outings, he would do best
in a home without other
dogs or cats. He is heart-
worm negative and has
already been microchip-
ped. His adoption fee of
$60 includes vaccina-
tions, neutering, free obe-
dience class and a month
of free pet insurance.
Meet him to see if he's
the perfect dog for you.

Public Notice
PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE AIR PERMIT
Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Division of Air Resource Management, Office of Permitting and Compliance
Draft Air Permit No. 0170004-036-AC
Progress Energy Florida, Inc., Crystal River Power Plant
Citrus County, Florida
Applicant: The applicant for this project is Florida Power Corporation d/b/a Progress
Energy Florida, Inc., a direct subsidiary of Duke Energy Corporation. The applicant's
authorized representative and mailing address are: Robby Odom, Plant Manager,
Progress Energy Florida, Crystal River Power Plant, 299 First Avenue North CN77, St.
Petersburg, Florida 33701.
Facility Location: Progress Energy Florida operates the existing Crystal River Power
Plant, which is located in Citrus County at 15760 West Power Line Street in Crystal
River, Florida.
Project: The project establishes a sulfur dioxide (S02) emission standard of 0.15
pounds per million Btu of heat input or 95 percent (%) reduction, whichever is less
stringent, for coal-fired Units 1 and 2. The limit will be accomplished by a combina-
tion of dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and changes to the electrostatic precipita-
tors and/or addition of baghouses to capture the reacted sorbent. This condition
shall become effective upon the effective date of EPA's approval of these specific
requirements in the Florida Regional Haze State Implementation Plan. This is an op-
tion under consideration by the company as an alternative to ceasing operation of
Units 1 and 2 as coal-fired units.
Permitting Authority: Applications for air construction permits are subject to review in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters
62-4, 62-210 and 62-212 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed
project is not exempt from air permitting requirements and an air permit is required
to perform the proposed work. The Permitting Authority responsible for making a
permit determination for this project is the Office of Permitting and Compliance in
the Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Air Resource Management.
The Permitting Authority's physical address is: 111 South Magnolia Drive, Suite #4,
Tallahassee, Florida. The Permitting Authority's mailing address is: 2600 Blair Stone
Road, MS #5505, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400. The Permitting Authority's phone
number is 850-717-9000.
Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the nor-
mal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal
holidays), at the physical address indicated above for the Permitting Authority. The
complete project file includes the draft permit, the Technical Evaluation and Prelimi-
nary Determination, the application and information submitted by the applicant
(exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S.). Interested persons
may contact the Permitting Authority's project engineer for additional information at
the address and phone number listed above. In addition, electronic copies of these
documents may be accessed by entering permit No. 0170004-036-AC on the follow-
ing web site: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/apds/default.asp.
Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent
to issue an air construction permit to the applicant for the project described above.
The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that operation of proposed
equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with
all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-296 and 62-297,
F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a final permit in accordance with the condi-
tions of the draft permit unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed
under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in ac-
cordance with this notice results in a different decision or a significant change of
terms or conditions.
Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the
draft permit for a period of 14 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice.
Written comments must be received by the Permitting Authority by close of business
(5:00 p.m.) on or before the end of this 14-day period. If written comments received
result in a significant change to the draft permit, the Permitting Authority shall revise
the draft permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed
will be made available for public inspection.
Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitt-
ing decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections
120.569 and 120.57, F.S. The petition must contain the information set forth below
and must be filed with (received by) the Department's Agency Clerk in the Office of
General Counsel of the Department of Environmental Protection at 3900 Common-


wealth Boulevard, Mail Station #35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Petitions filed by
any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S.
must be filed within 14 days of publication of this Public Notice or receipt of a written
notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person
who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition
within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A peti-
tioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated
above, at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the ap-
propriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an
administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to
intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent inter-
vention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of
the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205,
F.A.C.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority's action
is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each
agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known; (b) The
name, address and telephone number of the petitioner; the name address and tele-
phone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address
for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of
how the petitioner's substantial rights will be affected by the agency determination;
(c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency ac-
tion or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If
there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ulti-
mate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant re-
versal or modification of the agency's proposed action; (f) A statement of the spe-
cific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the
agency's proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate
to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the peti-
tioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with re-
spect to the agency's proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the mate-
rial facts upon which the Permitting Authority's action is based shall state that no
such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set
forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency
action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority's final action may
be different from the position taken by it in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Per-
mit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of
the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a
party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
Mediation: Mediation is not available for this proceeding.

TV programs prove one person's junk is another's treasure


MELISSA RAYWORTH
For The Associated Press

Tracy Hutson wanders through a
graveyard of ovens that haven't roasted
a turkey or baked a ham since decades
before she was born. Picking through
their discarded parts, she muses: "The
rust on this is just so gorgeous."
Her "Picker Sisters" partner, Tanya
McQueen, agrees yet another item to
bargain for, purchase and turn into a
high-end piece of furniture on their
Lifetime network TV series.
You'll find a similar pair of women,
the "Junk Gypsies," doing much the
same thing over at HGTV And these
two pairs are not alone.
The list of television shows about
hunting for elusive treasure amid
mountains of discarded stuff keeps
growing like a suburban landfill. At
least three new entries are premiering
this summer, adding to the already dou-
ble-digit roster of shows about "pick-
ers" and pawn shop owners and people
who bid for the contents of storage con-
tainers.


Why, especially when we're so over-
loaded with our own clutter and junk,
are we so fascinated with the search
through other people's castoffs?

Jordan Hembrough, host of "Toy
Hunter," which premieres Aug. 15 on
the Travel Channel, believes people

part, fruits should be stored
in low humidity, vegetables
in high humidity. Think of it
like this: You want your let-
tuce, celery and other leafy
vegetables to have some
moisture so they don't dry
out or get limp, while you
want your grapes to have
low humidity so they don't
mold and rot. I would keep
fruits and vegetables sepa-
rate because some fruits
(apples, avocados, bananas,
pears, peaches, plums, can-
taloupes, honeydew melons
and tomatoes) emit ethylene
gas, and some fruits and
vegetables emit odors that
can be absorbed by other
produce.
As for the multiple set-
tings of high, low and
medium on your crisper
drawers, the lever is simply
the control for an opening
that keeps moisture in or

High humidity for leafy
greens, beans, cucumbers,
asparagus, broccoli and cel-
ery; medium humidity for
things like tomatoes and cit-
rus fruits; low humidity for
garlic, onions and squash.

tact the manufacturer's cus-

Some fruits and vegeta-
bles do fine without refrig-
eration. I keep a lot of
produce in fruit bowls on
the kitchen counter or din-
ing room table, and I store
some vegetables in metal
mesh baskets. I keep cut cel-
ery in a jar of water so it
stays crispy and is easy to
grab on the go.
Dear Sara: What's the
threshold that has to be hit
before you turn the air con-
ditioner on in your house?
Do you wait for a certain
date? Do you wait until it
hits a certain temperature

Nichole, Iowa
Dear Nichole: The
weather is too unpre-
dictable for me to go by a
certain month before I turn
it on. I can tolerate it being
pretty hot inside my house
by spending more time in
our finished basement,
where it stays nice and cool.
Our air conditioner was bro-
ken last year for a short
while, and I felt like I was
really suffering. I'm embar-
rassed by how I ranted over
it, considering that I didn't

We recognize items instantly, from
toys to household goods to advertising
signage. Previous generations of
Americans kept things longer, and
there was less to choose from when
you did buy new: Many of us had the
same CorningWare coffee pot, the
same Fisher-Price toys as our
neighbors.
Items designed in the 1950s and
1960s "are from a period that con-
sciously looked to the future," says
Allen Topolski, associate professor of
art at the University of Rochester. It
was a time of optimism, and although
"we never got the jet packs we were
promised," we enjoy revisiting that
feeling as junk-hunting TV hosts
come across this stuff, he says.
This experience won't be the same
for future generations because we re-
place things so frequently today
Young people are also less likely to
have the exact same items as their
peers. "More choices means less

watching these shows for the excite-
ment of scoring something awesome at
little or no cost.
"The stuff today being made is
garbage compared to the stuff back
then," Heckman says. "They took their
time and put effort into making it."
Craig Dalen, who coordinates sus-
tainability programs at Messiah Col-
lege in Grantham, Pa., sees this as a
strong explanation for the popularity
of these shows. "Many goods now are
designed to break down and need to
be replaced, and our desires are so-
cially engineered to want more, better,
the latest. I think some are rediscov-
ering the value in these goods because
of the craftsmanship and the materi-
als."
Heckman says he is happy when a
TV host can find and repurpose an old
table or chair revealing its endur-
ing value and returning it to daily life.
Television, of course, reliably deliv-


ers those satisfying moments. Through
editing, these shows offer "very clever
storytelling," Baick says. Something
well-made and worthwhile is always
uncovered. "Like the hunt for the Holy
Grail, in all the accounts it ends up
being a humble cup of tremendous
value," he says. For viewers in homes
filled with everyday items, "this is
kind of magical, that you can turn lead
into gold" if you have a discerning-
enough eye.
Two shows that premiered last
month PBS' "Market Warriors"
(from the producers of "Antiques
Roadshow") and the "American Pick-
ers" spin-off "Picked Off" raise the
bar by merging the junk-hunting genre
with competition. "Picked Off" has a
$10,000 grand prize, while the "Market
Warriors" winner only earns "bragging
rights for eclipsing his peers," accord-
ing to the show's website.
The desire to DIY
For the "Picker Sisters" and 'Junk
Gypsies," it's all about what these
found goodies can become. These
shows, along with sites like Pinterest,


offer fresh and sometimes outrageous
ideas for affordable do-it-yourself
projects.
Whether many viewers actually try
their hand at a project is another
question. But it's fun to see someone
turn a chipped sink into a flower-filled
planter rather than tossing it into a

Sunshine Mimosa Is a perennial ground
cover that does not climb vertically.
Mimosa comes from the Greek word
for mimic, as the plant has a tendency
to move like an animal. The long stems
rapidly spread over the ground in sum-
mer and will root down at the leaf
nodes If In contact with soil. Estab-
lished Sunshine Mimosa grows well in
full sun to part shade. Leaves rarely
stand up higher than 6 inches and tol-

as a kid, and I don't remember
ever complaining or being uncom-
fortable.
I've become spoiled by air con-
ditioning, and when I feel uncom-
fortable, I turn it on. I do have
plenty of fans, and I use them to


create a nice cross breeze when
it's not unbearably hot. But at this
point in my life, I adjust my ther-
mostat to a comfortable level. It's
not the most frugal approach, but
when temperatures are in the 90s
and I am home, my air condition-
ing is on.
We also spend a lot of time at the
beach, where the temps are cooler
and there's a wonderful breeze.

for getting rid of the grease? -

Dear Maisie: Without knowing


the material your kettle is made
from, you can soak it in a sink of
hot water and Dawn dishwashing
liquid, then use a nylon scrubber,
or apply a baking soda and vine-
gar paste and scrub it with a nylon
scrubber and rinse with hot water.
Both methods will work. Bar
Keeper's Friend will work, too.
Avoid harsh chemicals or scrub
pads that could harm the outside
of the kettle.

can consume the data and
information," Dalen says.
"It's easy to organize and
pin it for a day that it would
be nice to do it."
The hosts
The last piece of the puz-
zle crucial to any success-
ful TV show is the
characters. Junk-hunting
hosts and competitors fall
into two major camps: the
fierce, take-no-prisoners
people who bristle with
bravado, and the folksy,
charming people you'd love
to invite over for dinner.
The friction-filled family
on "Pawn Stars" can't close
a deal without an argument,
while tattooed Darrell
Sheets lovingly bumps


heads with his son Brandon
on "Storage Wars." Mike
Wolfe and Frank Fritz, the
stars of "American Pickers,"
invariably incur the biting
sarcasm of their office man-
ager, Danielle.
How long will these shows
remain popular? Well,
there's an awful lot of junk
out there. And our national
appetite for a voyeuristic
peek into other people's at-
tics and basements seems to
run deep. (The evil mirror
images of these upbeat junk
shows are the shows about
hoarding, where only mis-
ery comes from amassing so
much stuff.)
Craig Dalen thinks that as
the rate of change in our
lives keeps accelerating, our
hunger to look back toward
an era of relative stability--
"this nostalgic kind of grasp-
ing onto what we had" is
only likely to grow.

for mimic, as the plant has a
tendency to move like an an-
imal. The long stems rapidly
spread over the ground in
summer and will root down
at the leaf nodes if in contact
with soil. It is easy to propa-
gate by gently digging up the
rooted stems and severing
them from the parent plant.
Immediately pot in a sandy,
well-drained potting soil
amended with fine compost
to retain moisture and pro-
vide nutrients. Set the pots
in the shade. Do not let the
tender developing roots dry
out After recovery from the
separation surgery, the new
plants will be ready to trans-
plant into the garden in 4 to
5 weeks.

mosa grows well in full sun

inches and tolerate light foot
traffic from a family The

string trimmed for a mani-

apart in a staggered pattern
and sprinkle soil over any

root down and send out
more stems.

Herbs a good choice for water-deprived garden


DEAN FOSDICK
For The Associated Press

Cacti or succulents are
the usual go-to plants when
xeriscaping, or dry-land gar-
dening, but herbs are an at-
tractive alternative.
Many herbs have Mediter-
ranean origins, and can
grow well where the soil is
sandy and water is scarce.
"All plants need water, but
that varies with the variety
and the setting," said Deb-
bie Boutelier, president of
The Herb Society of Amer-
ica. "Herbs are a good
choice if you're experienc-
ing a drought, have high, hot
sun or problem settings."
Such problem areas
might include boulevards,
driveway strips, slopes or
bare spots that have been


baked into lawns.
The best results when
xeriscaping with herbs come
when using native plants, or
plants that have adapted
well to a particular area,
Boutelier said. "Natives
handle climatic change bet-
ter than something you have
to force," she said. "Planting
correctly is the first rule."
Mulching or adding com-
post runs a close second.
"Having plants in the
right place and doing cul-
tural things that help pre-
serve moisture, like mulch,
will provide so many bene-
fits," said Dennis Patton, a
Kansas State University Re-
search and Extension agent
"Soaker hoses and drip irri-
gation also have a place in
the landscape. They can put
water at the base of the


plants where it's needed."
Xeriscaping is a practical
way to garden no matter
where you live, from the
desert Southwest to the
Canadian highlands and
even Hawaii.
"More and more people
are looking for lower main-
tenance in their gardens,"
Patton said. "That means
less watering," and finding
plants that can thrive that
way but still have some fo-
liage. "We're not talking
yucca here. This is where
herbs come in. They're used
to dry climates and give off
splashes of color while pro-


viding other advantages."
Herbs are great all-
around plants, Boutelier
said: "One plant can give
you a lot of purposes culi-
nary, ornamental, medici-
nal, groundcover."
This isn't to say that herbs
don't present challenges.
Many varieties aren't win-
ter-hardy. Perennials often
become annuals in extreme
climates. Others might be
invasive.
"Lavender is a touchy
plant for us here in Kansas
because of our clay soil, but
it would be a good one in
many well-drained parts of


the country," Patton said.
Other drought-resistant
herbs to consider:
Fennel is a perennial
with leaves and seeds used
for flavoring. "It's also good
for attracting butterflies,"
Patton said.
Low-growing herbs in-
clude yarrow (beware the
aggressive runners) and
thyme. "Creeping thyme
makes a good groundcover
and becomes fragrant when
you walk on it," said Jeff
Schalau, an agent with Uni-
versity of Arizona Coopera-
tive Extension. Lavender is
another appealing aromatic


herb, as are rosemary and
oregano.
Taller herb varieties
that pack a lot of color
would include phlomis
(Jerusalem sage) and
evening primrose, but the
latter should be potted to
contain its growth.
Mint, if confined to con-
tainers, bee balm and angel-
ica require little in the way
of water, fertilizer or
herbicides.
Russian sage, hore-
hound, santolina, marjoram,
catnip, sweet alyssum and
lamb's ears also fare well
with minimal watering.
