One dead in
Beverly Hills
shooting
Two were injured and
one person died following
a shooting Saturday
afternoon.
According to the Citrus
County Sheriff's Office,
shots were fired around
4 p.m. at a residence in
Beverly Hills. Heather
Yates, spokeswoman for
the sheriffs office, stated
the incident was domestic-
related. As a result of
gunfire in the home,
Yates stated in a news re-
lease, one person, a
white male in his sixties,
was found dead. Two oth-
ers, a white female, also
in her sixties, and a white
male in his twenties, were
injured and subsequently
airlifted to Shand's Hospi-
tal in Gainesville.
At this time, Yates
stated, detectives are in-
vestigating to determine
exactly what happened.
However, they know the
incident was isolated to
those found inside the
residence. Names are
being withheld pending
notification of next of kin.
Further information
about the shooting was
not available by press
time Saturday night.

COMMENTARY:


Program to stay put


Federal plan excels at health dept.


MIKE WRIGHT
Staff Writer
LECANTO Behind-the-
scenes efforts to potentially
move a federally funded pro-
gram from the Citrus County


Health Department to private
interests have run into a major
barrier.
Simply, according to health
department officials, it can't be
done.
The health department is


guaranteed the program until
2016, and even then a
switchover is unlikely unless
the health department finds it-
self in disfavor with state and
federal agencies that oversee
the program.
"So I guess we're stuck with
the health department," Assis-
tant County Administrator


Cathy Pearson said.
Pearson, who uttered that re-
mark last week in a room full of
health advocates, said she was
not suggesting local health offi-
cials are doing a poor job with
the Federally Qualified Health
Center (FQHC) program.
Rather, she said, the county

Troop deaths

no longer stir

war-weary US
ROBERT BURNS

WASHINGTON It was
another week at war in
Afghanistan, another string
of American casualties, and
another collective shrug by a
nation weary of a faraway
conflict whose hallmark is its
grinding inconclusiveness.
After nearly 11 years,
many by now have grown
numb to the sting of losing
soldiers like Pfc. Shane W
Cantu of Corunna, Mich. He
died of shrapnel wounds in
the remoteness of eastern
Afghanistan, not far from
the getaway route that
Osama bin Laden took
when U.S. forces invaded
after Sept. 11, 2001, and
began America's longest
war.
Cantu was 10 back then.
Nearly every day the Pen-
tagon posts another formu-
laic death notice, each one
brief and unadorned, re-
vealing the barest of facts -
name, age and military unit
- but no words that might
capture the meaning of the
loss.
Cantu, who joined the
Italy-based 173rd Airborne
Brigade on Sept. 11 last
year and went to
Afghanistan last month, was
among five U.S. deaths an-
nounced this past week, as
the Democrats and Repub-
licans wrapped up back-to-
back presidential
nominating conventions.
31 a month
American troops are still
dying in Afghanistan at a
pace that doesn't often reg-
ister beyond their home-
towns. So far this year, it's
31 a month on average, or
one per day National atten-
tion is drawn, briefly, to
grim and arbitrary mile-
stones such as the 1,000th
and 2,000th war deaths. But
days, weeks and months

Environmentalist criticizes wetland mitigation for U.S. 19


Area likely to get funds

from 1-75 roadproject
JIM HUNTER
Chronicle Correspondent
The state taketh, but it can giveth, too.
Still, even in the giveth part, longtime Cit-
rus County environmental activist Ron
Miller thinks the state's system for mitigat-
ing destruction of wetlands needs to be
changed.
Miller, vice president of the Homosassa
River Alliance (HRA), is incensed the
money the state will have to put up for tak-
ing wetlands in Citrus County when it
widens U.S. 19 later this decade will go to a
project in Pasco County.
That project is the Conner Preserve, a
3,000-acre, wetland-rich preserve the
Southwest Florida Water Management Dis-


trict is restoring about 7 miles north of
Land 0' Lakes. The water district bought
the land in 2003 and has been working to re-
store the wetland functionality of the pre-
serve as both core habitat and as a link
between Starkey Wilderness Park to the
west and Cypress Creek Wellfield to the
east.
Restoring and preserving wetlands in one
place to make up for the loss in another is
called mitigation in projects that are allowed
by permit to "take" or destroy some wetlands
in their development projects. Both govern-
ment and private projects must mitigate.
The good news for Citrus County is the
state is pushing ahead an Interstate 75 ex-
pansion project in Pasco County, and the
mitigation for that project will be applied
in Citrus County, according to state highway
officials, allowing 148 acres of environmen-
tally sensitive land in Homosassa to be pre-
served and protected forever

Florida heads for private

wetland mitigation banking


JIM HUNTER
Chronicle Correspondent
In Florida, a state long
notorious for its annual
wetlands loss to develop-
ment, the law says if you
take wetlands in a permit-
ted development, you have
to give wetlands back in
one way or another.
Private mitigation bank-
ing is the trend of the fu-
ture in wetland mitigation,
according to officials in-
volved in environmental


mitigation, and anyone
concerned about wetland
loss in Florida should un-
derstand how it works,
they say
Mitigation banking can
be complicated, but at its
basic level, a private miti-
gation banker doing busi-
ness in this region said, "In
essence, you are trading
land."

pass with little focus by the
general public or its politi-
cal leaders on the individu-
als behind the statistics.
Each week at war has a
certain sameness for those
not fighting it, yet every
week brings distinct pain
and sorrow to the families
who learn their son or
daughter, brother or sister,
father or mother was killed
or wounded.
Cantu died Aug. 28, but the
Pentagon did not publicly re-
lease his name until Wednes-
day He was memorialized by
his paratrooper "sky soldier"
comrades in Italy on Thurs-
day and honored in his
hometown of Corunna,
where the high school foot-
ball coach, Mike Sullivan,
was quoted in local news re-
ports as saying the energetic
and athletic Cantu had been
"the toughest kid I've ever
coached ever known."
He would have turned 21
next month.
Larger than life
His roommate in
Afghanistan, Pfc. Cameron
Richards, 23, remembers
Cantu as a larger-than-life
figure, a guy with an infec-
tious smile who took pride
in whipping up spaghetti,
tacos and other dinners on
his portable skillet. It was a
knack he attributed to hav-
ing grown up with five sis-
ters with whom he shared
family meal duties.
"He was the type of per-
son you wanted to be around
every day," Richards said in
a telephone interview Fri-
day from the brigade's head-


quarters in Italy, where he
returned after being
wounded by shrapnel from a
hand grenade two weeks be-
fore Cantu was killed.
"When he was in the
room, you knew he was in
the room. He'd be the loud-
est one laughing," he added.
"He impacted everybody"
'Who Cares?' war
As the war drags on, it re-
mains a faraway puzzle for
many Americans. Max Boot,
a military historian and de-
fense analyst at the Council
on Foreign Relations, has
called Afghanistan the
"Who Cares?" war
"Few, it seems, do, except
for service personnel and
their families," he wrote re-
cently "It is almost as if the
war isn't happening at all."
One measure of how far
the war has receded into the
background in America is
the fact that it was not even
mentioned by Mitt Romney
in his speech last week ac-
cepting the Republican
presidential nomination.
President Barack Obama
has pledged to end the main
U.S. combat role in
Afghanistan by the end of
2014, but current plans call
for some thousands of U.S.
troops to remain long after
that to train Afghans and
hunt terrorists.
The war remains at the
forefront, naturally, for
members of the military
such as Marine Lt. Gen.
John Kelly, whose son, 2nd
Lt. Robert M. Kelly, was
killed by a roadside bomb in
southern Afghanistan in
November 2010.
"America as a whole today
is certainly not at war, not as
a country, not as a people,"
Kelly said in a speech Aug.


Associated Press
An Army carry team moves a transfer case Aug. 30 containing the remains of Pfc. Shane W. Cantu of Corunna, Mich., at
Dover Air Force Base, Del. Cantu, who, coincidentally, joined his Italy-based Army unit on Sept. 11 last year and deployed
to Afghanistan this summer, was among five U.S. deaths announced this past week. He was just 10 when al-Qaida ter-
rorists attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. American troops are still dying in Afghanistan with a regularity that does not always


register beyond their hometown
28 at the American Legion's
national convention. Kelly
is Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta's senior military
assistant.
"Only a tiny fraction of
American families fear all
day and every day a knock
at the door that will shatter
their lives," Kelly said.
More casualties
That knock came this past
week for more families, in-
cluding that of Jeremie S.
Border, a 28-year-old Army
Special Forces staff sergeant
from Mesquite, Texas. His
alma mater, McMurry Uni-
versity, said he graduated in
2006 with degrees in sociol-
ogy and communications. He
played four seasons for the
school's football team, whose
players will wear a helmet
decal bearing his uniform
number, 28, for the remain-
der of this season.
The Pentagon said Tues-
day he was killed by small
arms fire last Saturday,
along with Army Staff Sgt.
Jonathan P Schmidt, 28, of
Petersburg, Va., a graduate
of Thomas Dale High


School outside Richmond.
Schmidt was an explosive
ordnance disposal expert
assigned to a unit based at
Fort Bragg, N.C. The Fayet-
teville (N.C.) Observer re-
ported he joined the Army
in 2003 and is survived by
his wife and one son.
Marine Lance Cpl. Alec R.
Terwiske, 21, of Dubois, Ind.,
was killed in combat last
Monday in Helmand


province. He was a reservist
with a tank battalion based
at Fort Knox, Ky., but in
Afghanistan he was assigned
to a combat engineer battal-
ion. The Pentagon provided
no details about the circum-
stances of his death.
Army Spc. Kyle R. Rookey,
23, of Oswego, N.Y, died last
Sunday in Jalalabad in east-
ern Afghanistan in a non-
combat incident. As is


standard with noncombat
deaths the Pentagon offered
no other details pending an
investigation. Rookey is sur-
vived by his wife, Victoria,
and a daughter, Flora, ac-
cording to a report by CNY
Central.com in Syracuse,
which said Gov. Andrew
Cuomo ordered flags at all
state buildings fly at half-
staff Friday in Rookey's
honor.

Saturday at the Military Aviation

Associated Press
SEMINOLE President
Barack Obama on Saturday
pronounced Republicans
"dead wrong" for calling
America a country in de-
cline, offering a rebuttal to
the "naysayers" who drew
attention to the nation's
staggering debt and anemic
job growth. Republican rival
Mitt Romney said there's
nothing wrong that a new
president can't fix.
Both clawed for advan-
tage in a post-convention
push through some of the
most closely contested
states, Obama on a Florida
bus tour, Romney rallying in


Virginia, opening the home-
stretch to the election in less
than two months.
Obama told a spirited rally
America's "basic bargain" is
at stake in the election, the
promise "if you work hard it
will pay off."
He pledged to make edu-
cation more affordable, re-
duce dependence on foreign
oil and slash deficits "with-
out sticking it to the middle
class" if his re-elected.
He reached for some
Ronald Reagan-like opti-
mism in hard times, telling
his audience much about
America is essentially right
"When our opponents say
this nation is in decline they


are dead wrong," he said.
"This is America. We still
have the best workers in the
world and the best entrepre-
neurs in the world. We've got
the best scientists and the
best researchers. We've got
the best colleges and the
best universities."
Days earlier, GOP vice
presidential candidate Paul
Ryan noted the national
debt was reported to have
passed $16 trillion on the
first day of the Democratic
convention.
"That's a country in de-
cline," Ryan said.

stubbornly high, clocking in
at 8.1 percent on Friday

residents.
Now, the Citrus County

should expand its services
to help even more low-
income adults and children
of poor families.
The health department
in 2009 received a two-year
FQHC grant. A five-year ex-
tension followed.
The federal program pro-
vides primary care services
for medical, mental health,
substance abuse and -
mainly for children den-
tal care.
FQHC centers receive a
higher proportion of
Medicare and Medicaid re-
imbursements to offset the
costs of treating the unin-
sured. They are not al-
lowed to turn away patients
because of inability to pay
Pearson and County Ad-
ministrator Brad Thorpe
had visited a private, non-
profit FQHC in Hillsbor-
ough County at the request
of Mike Bays, a Lecanto in-
surance agent who is the
husband of Commissioner
Rebecca Bays.
Mike Bays, who had
sought an FQHC grant in
2006 but later withdrew the
application at the health
department's request, said
in a recent interview that
private FQHCs can more
efficiently serve patients
than public health
departments.
Thorpe and Pearson said
they are researching the
issue and are not acting on
the Bays' behalf.
Officials associated with
the FQHC program, how-
ever, said it excels with the
health department.

Human Services visited

noted Citrus County had an
"excellent understanding
of FQHC requirements"
and found no areas of fault.
Andrew Behrman, presi-
dent and chief executive of-
ficer of the Florida
Association of Community
Health Centers Inc., said
regulators are unlikely to
consider other applications
for an FQHC program in
Citrus County.
"You have a working

Behrman told members of

Directors last week.
"They're going to look at
this, look at a new applica-

need for a new FQHC in
this area?"'
The Citrus County
FQHC's annual budget is
about $6.8 million. About
half the revenue comes
from Medicaid, Medicare
and other insurance. Most
of the rest is from the fed-
eral grant, and state and
county funding.
Jerri Regan, who over-
sees the health depart-
ment's FQHC program,
said 16,000 patients took
advantage of Citrus County
FQHC services last year.
About 22 percent are unin-
sured and generally pay
nothing for their medical
care.
State funding is expected
to drop by $430,000 and the
county is planning to cut its
$950,000 subsidy to
$650,000. Still, Regan said
the health department is
expanding services to rural
areas of Floral City, Her-
nando and Homosassa with
the grant-purchase of a mo-
bile medical van that
should be operational by
late December or early
January
Behrman said the Citrus
County FQHC spends $435


per patient, which he
termed "outstanding." He
said the state average
among 51 public and not-
for-profit FQHCs is $510
per patient.
While public and private,
not-for-profit FQHCs oper-
ate essentially the same,
their oversight is different.
With a private FQHC, the
board of directors contracts
with health-care providers.
The board receives grants
and pays an executive
director
Public FQHCs, such as
the health department, are
partners with the board of
directors. Both the board
and health department
would need to agree to re-
move the FQHC from the
agency, Behrman said.
Board member Theresa
Foster said there was no
reason to consider separat-
ing FQHC from the health
department
"I'm kind of curious why
we're thinking of moving
away from that," she said.
"We're in the infancy
stage."
Still, Pearson said in an
interview Citrus County
residents are being re-
ferred away from the
health department and to
the Thomas E. Langley
Medical Center, an FQHC
in Sumter County She said
that's because Citrus
County doesn't have the
necessary services to meet
their needs.
"I hope the health de-
partment can come up with
a marketing plan," she said.
"We have to market the
George Dame Center bet-
ter. We should be more ac-
tive and help expand
services. That's where I
think we need to go."

WETLAND The state's U.S. 19 road project in
Continued from PageAl Citrus will widen the highway from
Homosassa to Crystal River.


Miller is happy about that,
but said the mitigation sys-
tem is still disconnected and
should address the damage
projects do to specific sys-
tems, not somewhere else.
The state's U.S. 19 road
project in Citrus will widen
the highway from Homosassa
to Crystal River, which will
destroy some existing wet-
lands along the highway
Construction of the widen-
ing and resurfacing project
will be in two phases. The
first, from West Green Acres
Street to Jump Court is
funded for construction and
is slated to begin in the fall of
2016, though it could start a
bit earlier, depending on cir-
cumstances. The second
stage, from Jump Court to
Fort Island Trail, is not yet
funded for construction and
is in right-of-way acquisition,
which is expected to be com-
pleted in 2015.
State law allows wetlands
to be destroyed for such
projects if they are miti-
gated, or made up for, by
restoration or even cre-
ation of other wetlands
elsewhere, usually at a bet-
ter than one-for-one gain
ratio. The idea of wetland
mitigation is to create wet-
lands that in the big picture
will replace the lost ones
and function naturally that
way forever
Miller said he under-
stands the rules of mitiga-
tion, which in the case of the
U.S. 19 project allow for the
money to be used in Pasco,
because the project is in the
same Upper Coastal Water
Basin. But he thinks it's il-
logical, environmentally un-
wise and finally unfair to
destroy wetlands for the
Crystal River and Ho-
mosassa River area and


not mitigate the effects in
that same local system. He
said both systems are in
need of restoration and will
be affected by wetland loss,
yet the mitigation money is
going somewhere else.
"I think that highly inap-
propriate," he said.
Miller complained to the
water district, which tradi-
tionally has done the mitiga-
tion projects for the Florida
Department of Transporta-
tion (DOT), that the Citrus
mitigation money was not
staying local but was going to
the Conner Preserve. He
asked water managers how
that mitigates damage to the
Homosassa and Crystal
River systems, already need-
ing help.
The answer from water
district and DOT officials
was no current mitigation/
restoration project is set up
for environmental mitiga-
tion credit in Citrus County
Miller explained the irony
of the whole thing is the Ho-
mosassa River Alliance
(HRA) in 2004 pitched to the
state the purchase of the
same undeveloped land that
will be used to satisfy the I-
75 mitigation. The Florida
Acquisition and Review
Council approved the land
for purchase, but the state
never bought it
That land near the head-


waters of the Homosassa
was called the "Homosassa
Wildlife Corridor" because it
connected other state lands
and wildlife corridors to the
north and south. Because it
has wetlands and uplands,
some parts could have been
developed, which inevitably
has an affect on the sur-
rounding wetlands, environ-
mental scientists say
Today, the property is
owned by an environmental
restoration company called
EarthBalance and is part of
what's called a "private mit-
igation bank" owned by that
company Private mitigation
banks are entities that have
acquired properties and cre-
ated or restored wetlands on
them and created conditions
for their preservation (see
accompanying story). In this
case, DOT will buy wetland
mitigation credits from
EarthBalance for the perma-
nent preservation of the Ho-
mosassa property.
DOT officials said the
EarthBalance property
credits appear to be a good
match for the 1-75 project
needs and can be used there
(environmental agencies
determine the amount of
credits). A senior represen-
tative for EarthBalance said
he had no official

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


GRANDMA
Continued from Page Al

"I bought this house as a
summer place in 1988," Mrs.
Badolato said.
She never intended to
make Florida her perma-
nent home, but things hap-
pen. After a divorce in 1996,
she had to leave her home
in New Jersey, so she and
her two sons, both whom
she had adopted, moved to
Beverly Hills.
Her son James died in
2010 at age 34 from a heart
attack.
While in Florida, Mrs.
Badolato worked for a num-
ber of social service agen-
cies- she opened the Early
Head Start program in Cit-
rus County, worked with
Childhood Development
Services and Healthy
Families.
Meanwhile, her son had
moved to New York, where
he and his wife lost custody
of the children because of
neglect.
"What broke my heart,
they were put in separate
homes because they have
different names," she said.
"They saw each other at the
visitation center run by
Catholic Charities."
Because of her experi-
ence with and knowledge of
the services in Citrus
County and her fierce
love for her grandchildren
- Mrs. Badolato set out to
gain custody
"I wasn't about to let them
grow up separated," she
said. "Someone said to me,
'When they're 18 just tell
them you did your best,' but
that's not acceptable."
It took her more than two
years and nearly 20 trips to
New York until she was able

She always says, 'I hate kids.
I want to eat them. If you put
them on a sandwich, you'll know
I want to bite them.' That's her
favorite saying.

Star Royle
age 13, granddaughter of Ronnie Badolato.


to convince a judge the chil-
dren would be better off all
together in Florida.
MmE
Here are some of the
"grandfacts":
According to the U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau's most recent in-
formation, in 2007,2.5 million
grandparents were sole care-
givers for their grandchil-
dren. Of those, 1.6 million
were grandmothers and
932,000 were grandfathers.
Nearly 1.5 million were
employed; almost a half-
million lived below the pov-
erty level and more than
732,000 lived with disabilities.
The median income for
"grandfamilies" in 2007 was
$33,453.
In 2010, more than 7 mil-
lion children in the U.S.
lived with a grandparent.
In 2011, of the 1,424 grand-
parents age 60 and over who
live in a household with
their grandchildren in Cit-
rus County, 500 are respon-
sible for their care more
than 35 percent.
MmE
In a small, three-bedroom
house designed for an older
retired couple, a family of
six busy, growing children,
their grandmother and a
great-uncle need to be close.
The kids sleep in three
sets of bunk beds. There's
not a lot of privacy Every-
one shares daily chores.
Weekdays start at 6 a.m.


with breakfast and getting
everyone off to school. After
school everyone does home-
work, then dinner, then
more homework. TV and
Xbox are only if homework
is done.
Everyone goes to church
Sunday The older children
sometimes go on outings
with their "Bigs" from Big
Brothers Big Sisters.
Rules are strict
"Don't lie and don't sneak,
like if you have a bad grade
you can't hide it," said 10-
year-old Alan. "You can't
blame things on other peo-
ple or make excuses."
"Be always honest," said
9-year-old Thomas.
If you tell a lie or misbe-
have at school, you have to
write an apology letter.
"If we're bad, sometimes
we have to face the wall,"
said Will, 7 1/2.
You work for what you
want. You take responsibil-
ity for your actions.
Mrs. Badolato called her-
self "old school." She read-
ily admits to mistakes she
made with her own sons.
"My boys were adopted
and I wanted them to have
every opportunity and ad-
vantage and we had the
money for things and vaca-
tions," she said. "The word
'no' was not as readily said
as it is now, and there was
an entitlement attitude. I
don't want these children to


grow up with that. I want
them to know you have to
earn, to work for things."
She said she feels like she
has a second chance, to do
things differently
"I have more experience,
more knowledge," she said.
She's less permissive,
more consistent.
"If you don't have param-
eters, you do what you want
and end up in places you
don't want to be," she said.
Still, she wishes she could
afford to do more for the
kids. Due to budget cuts, last
year she lost her job with
Healthy Families. They of-
fered her a job that would
mean being out of the area
at times, but she turned it
down. It's more important to
be there for her family, she
told them.
Thanks to local programs
such as the Citrus County
Sheriff's Office Harmony in

"Things are available if
you investigate and look for
them," Mrs. Badolato said.
"Things are tight, but we're
OK. Sometimes it upsets me,
and I wish I had the energy
I had 20 years ago."
She said she worries all
the time about her health
and whether she'll be
around as she and they-
grow older.
"She puts in hard work
for us, and she wants to
know everything about us
and she takes us every-
where, that's how we know
she loves us," Thomas said.
"She plays fun games with
us," Star said.
No one goes to bed with-
out hugs and kisses.
Ronnie Badolato is not bi-
ologically related to any of
these children, but there's
no doubt they are hers.

Buffalo Bill performer


reburied at reservation


Associated Press
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -
The remains of a man who
died young while touring
the world with Buffalo Bill
were hidden for more than
a century in an unmarked
grave some 1,700 miles
from his South Dakota In-
dian reservation.
Now Albert Afraid of
Hawk is returning home.
He'll be reburied Sunday
in accordance with Lakota
tradition, thanks largely to
a curious and persistent
Connecticut history buff.
Bob Young uncovered
records of the Oglala Sioux
member's death at a Con-
necticut hospital after a
bout with food poisoning
from eating bad corn. A few
years ago, Young pieced the
details together and
reached out to Afraid of
Hawk's family members.
"It's something that
should have happened a
long time ago, but it didn't,"
said Marlis Afraid of Hawk,
54, whose father, Daniel
Afraid of Hawk, is Albert's
last living nephew. "... No-
body even questioned where
he is buried or where this
person is. It was left at that"
Afraid of Hawk began

notification yet, but he had
heard rumors.
Wade Waltimyer, presi-
dent of the board for Earth-
Balance, said his company
has done some restoration
work on the property it ac-
quired, and manages it as
preserved land. Waltimyer,
who overseas mitigation
banking for the company,
said when the state buys its
credits, the land will be as-
sured of being preserved
forever He said no matter
who may own it in the fu-
ture, the deed restrictions
will forever require it to
remain as it is, and trust
funds will support its man-
agement to that end.
Waltimyer said a water
district survey has re-
vealed a spring on the
property that was not on
the map or known to water
managers, which gives the
property even more value
for wetland preservation.
EarthBalance describes


traveling with Buffalo Bill's
world-famous troupe known
as the Congress of Rough
Riders of the World two
years before he died at age
20. He was among a rotating
cast that helped educate
and entertain thousands of
spectators eager to hear
firsthand accounts of life on
the unruly terrain.
Last month, Marlis Afraid
of Hawk, Daniel Afraid of
Hawk and other relatives
traveled to Connecticut
from their homes on the
Cheyenne River Reserva-
tion in South Dakota to wit-
ness the disinterment of
Albert's remains.
Young, president of a mu-
seum in Danbury, Conn.,
had identified the location
of Afraid of Hawk's grave at
a cemetery there.
'At the start it was just an-
other research project, but
each piece I came up with
got me more interested,"
said Young, who was work-
ing at the cemetery at the
time of the discovery
Nicholas Bellantoni, the
state archeologist for Con-
necticut, knew the coffin
would have long disinte-
grated, and he prepared
the family for the possibil-
ity the acidic Connecticut


itself as an ecosystem
restoration and Southeast-
ern environmental consult-
ing company based in
Florida with teams of envi-
ronmental scientists and
technicians expert in de-
signing, constructing,
restoring and managing
upland and wetland
habitats.
Waltimyer said getting
into the mitigation banking
business was a natural step
for such a company, though
the Homosassa property is
one of its first forays into
private mitigation banking.

soil had left little behind.
Bellantoni and a team of
excavators gently dug a
couple of feet into the
ground with a backhoe. At
about 4 1/2 feet, they began
getting hits on a metal de-
tector, signaling they were
getting closer to nails that
had been in the coffin.
He was born in 1879, the
third of seven children be-

Hawk and his wife, White
Mountain. His brother
Richard was among the

Afraid of Hawk joined Buf-
falo Bill's Wild West show
in 1898 with a childhood
friend from the Oglala
Sioux Tribe, and he appar-
ently sent money back to
family members living on
the Pine Ridge reservation.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


BANKING
Continued from Page Al

banking for EarthBalance,
an environmental restora-
tion company from North
Port. EarthBalance has a
mitigation bank in Ho-
mosassa, resulting from the
148 acres the company owns
near the Homosassa River
headwaters.
Here's how mitigation
works: a permitted develop-
ment destroys some wet-
land. The state and federal
environmental agencies
allow this, while requiring
the development to replace
the wetlands at least at the
same ratio, if not higher.
The developer could be the
state conducting a road
project or a company in a
commercial enterprise such
as a big store or residential
subdivision.
When this mitigation was
first required by the state,
environmental restoration
agents for the developers
tried to create new wetlands
adjacent or near the site of
the lost wetlands. If it wasn't
already a natural system
supporting wetlands, how-
ever, the results were poor
or even disastrous.
Off-site creation was
found to have better success
when the environment used
naturally supported wet-
lands. Even better was
restoring what had once
been wetlands or what was
damaged wetlands.
Pure stretches of wet-
lands are unlikely to be per-
mitted for development in
this state, but Florida is full
of wetland systems that nat-
urally have a lot of uplands
adjacent and around them
that can be developed. Wet-
lands within and next to de-
veloped land often fare
badly, even losing their
functionality as wetlands.
So regulatory officials
also began to buy property
in danger of being devel-
oped property that had
wetlands and uplands -
and then deed restricting
the land to keep it from
being developed. Then the
land had a value as ex-
change for lost wetlands
and was a valuable way to
get "credit" for wetlands lost
to development.


Depending on the project,
created/restored/preserved
acres can be worth up to
$100,000. Waltimyer said it
generally takes 3 to 5 acres
of a project to make a credit,
but the ration of wetland is
critical.
"You can't just preserve
anything," he said.
But whether mitigation is
done by creation, restora-
tion or preservation, devel-
opers have chronically
complained the planning,
design, engineering, permit-
ting, construction and mon-
itoring required in
mitigation was overly bur-
densome and expensive.
Until now, while the de-
velopers hired private com-
panies like EarthBalance to
take care of mitigation re-
quirements, the water dis-
tricts also put together
restoration projects with
the resultant credits that the
developer paid for and got
credit for. DOT, for example,
routinely went to the state's
water districts for off-setting
wetland credits in road
construction.
Today, the process has
evolved to where private en-
tities are allowed to "bank"
projects up front before any
development needs them.
In a wetland mitigation
bank today, a private com-
pany or consortium can cre-
ate though in recent
times it's more often restore
and preserve wetlands
and thereby produce miti-
gation credits in its bank.
It must do so under the
permit approval of environ-
mental agencies that also
score projects and then de-
termine the amount of cred-
its created. The banks have
to put up a bond that after
a number of years, when the
agencies determine the
project a success can be
converted into a trust to pro-
vide funds for restoration
and management in perpe-
tuity. Deed restrictions are
required to prohibit the de-
velopment of the land for-
ever, no matter who owns it.
This has resulted in a
growing number of privately
owned mitigation banks,
and a proliferation of them
is expected in the coming
years.
Waltimyer and spokesper-
sons for the Southwest
Florida Water Management


District and the Department
of Environmental Protec-
tion said private mitigation
banking works well for a
number of reasons.
They said it saves devel-
opers time and money due
to costly delays in permit-
ting. It settles the replace-
ment of the lost wetlands up
front with environmental
work and preservation that
has already been accom-
plished successfully and
guaranteed to state and fed-
eral standards.
An obvious question is
whether private mitigation
bank can make a profit Yes,
depending on their costs for
projects and the value of
credits they are awarded.
But in the long run, every-
one wins under the system
because regulated restora-
tion and preservation works
and is encouraged and even
rewarded, said Veronica
Craw, an environmental
manager for the water
district.
Developers don't get
snarled in environmental
permitting problems and
can plan and conduct a proj-
ect better and more effi-
ciently Wetlands are
replaced, often at a better
ratio than lost and the risk
of them failing as a wetland
environment is less likely
Finally, the net loss of wet-
lands in the state is man-
aged better, officials said.
Craw said private mitiga-
tion banking will be the
wave of the future in wet-
land mitigation not only be-
cause the system works
better, but because the state
Legislature perceives it that
way and has in fact man-
dated the mitigation go to
private banking.
So the water district will
back out of the wetland mit-
igation as a creator of cred-
its, for example for DOT, she
said, and private entities
will begin fulfilling that
need. The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers also has said
its first preference will be
private mitigation banking.
One weakness is the miti-
gation probably won't be in
the specific water system
losing wetlands. Citrus envi-
ronmentalists Ron Miller,
for example, said mitigation
ought to be done in the same
system. He doesn't buy the
big picture argument. If Ho-


mosassa wetlands are lost,
he said, some kind of
restoration work should be
done in relation to that river
system.
Another weakness could
be political interference or
manipulation with the agen-
cies setting the standards
for the private mitigation
projects and scoring the


amount of credit the banks
get for projects. In one con-
troversial case, a North
Florida bank disagreed
with the credits it was being
allowed by DEP and hired a
top state lobbyist to inter-
cede with the agency after
unsuccessfully challenging
the law.
One DEP official who op-


SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 A7

posed the bank's demands
was suspended in the con-
troversy, though later
reinstated.
At stake can be millions,
and if too many credits are
allowed by regulators, then
there is in essence, a net
loss of wetlands, which mit-
igation laws were supposed
to stop.

Storm Leslie nears
Bermuda
HAMILTON, Bermuda -
Tropical Storm Leslie moved
slowly northward Saturday
after pausing to spin in place
over the Atlantic, and fore-
casters expected it would re-
gain strength and become a
hurricane before passing to
the east of Bermuda.
The latest forecasts pointed
to the storm going by about
200 miles east-southeast of
the British territory Sunday af-
ternoon or evening as a Cate-
gory 1 hurricane, the Bermuda
Weather Service said.
"It appears that Bermuda
will be spared a direct im-
pact," Wayne Perinchief, the
national security minister,
said Friday. "However, I urge
the public to remain cautious
as there is the potential for
the storm to re-intensify and
change track, and we could
experience heavy rain and
winds in shower bands."

blew himself up outside
NATO headquarters in the
Afghan capital Saturday,
killing at least six civilians
in a strike that targeted the
heart of the U.S.-led mili-
tary operation in the coun-
try, officials said.
The Taliban claimed re-
sponsibility for the blast,
which was the latest in a se-
ries of insurgent attacks in
the heavily fortified Afghan


capital aimed at undercut-
ting a months-long campaign
by the U.S.-led coalition to
shore up security in Kabul
before a significant with-
drawal of combat troops lim-
its American options.
While bombings and
shootings elsewhere in
Afghanistan often receive
relatively little attention, at-
tacks in the capital score
propaganda points for the
insurgents by throwing
doubt on the government's
ability to provide security
even the seat of its power.
Attacks also aim to under-
mine coalition claims of im-
proving security ahead of
the planned withdrawal of
foreign troops by the end of
2014.
The bomber struck just
before noon Saturday out-


side the headquarters of the
U.S.-led NATO coalition, on
a street that connects the al-
liance headquarters to the
nearby U.S. and Italian em-
bassies, a large U.S. military
base and the Afghan De-
fense Ministry
The alliance and police
said all of the dead were
Afghans, and the Ministry of
Interior said some were
street children. Kabul po-
lice said in a statement the
bomber was 14 years old.
The Taliban claimed re-
sponsibility for the attack,
saying the target was a U.S.
intelligence facility nearby
German Brig. Gen. Gunter
Katz, the spokesman for the
U.S.-led international mili-
tary alliance, said there
were no coalition
casualties.

No room for refugees


Associated Press
Fatimah Abdullah, 29, who fled her home in Marea, Syria, 15 days ago due to Syrian government shelling, sits
Sept. 7 next to her 4-day-old twins Ahmad and Bayan, who were born in a Turkish hospital and brought back with
her to the border where they take refuge at the Bab AI-Salameh border crossing, in hopes of entering one of the
refugee camps in Turkey, near the Syrian town of Azaz.

Twins born in Turkey but returned to Syrian border


Associated Press
An inmate belonging to the
M-18 gang stands inside
the prison July 22 in Quezal-
tepeque, El Salvador. Six
months after El Salvador
brokered an historic truce
between two rival gangs to
curb the nation's daunting
homicide rate, officials are
split over whether the truce
actually works.


China steps up
rescue efforts
BEIJING Rescue work-
ers cleared roads Saturday
so they could search for sur-
vivors and rush aid to a re-
mote mountainous area of
southwestern China after twin
earthquakes killed at least 80
people.
More than 200,000 vil-
lagers were evacuated after
Friday's quakes toppled thou-
sands of homes and sent
boulders cascading across
roads in a region of small
farms and mines near the
border between Guizhou and
Yunnan provinces, where
some of China's poorest peo-
ple live.
The official Xinhua News
Agency quoted local officials
as saying the death toll could
climb further because the
quakes seriously damaged
roads and communications,
making it difficult to collect
information.
The damage also slowed
rescue efforts.
-From wire reports


Associated Press
BAB AL-SALAMEH, Syria -
Pregnant with twins, Fatima Ab-
dallah survived shelling, hid under
relatives' beds and went without
food during a treacherous weeks-
long trip across the Syrian border.
Safely in a Turkish hospital, she
gave birth to a healthy boy and girl.
But after two nights, she was sent
right back, the victim of the over-
whelmed country's ban of new
refugee arrivals until more camps
can be built.
Abdallah, 29, brushed away the
flies in a cramped, 10-foot concrete
shed near the border crossing,
where at least 5,000 other refugees
waited to cross into a safer haven
from Syria's 18 months of violence.
She held her 4-day-old son, Ahmed,
as he furiously sucked away on his
pacifier, while her daughter Bayan


slept, eyes tightly closed, in pink
and blue fuzzy blankets.
"I want a clean house," she said
softly, gesturing at the mud-tracked
concrete floor "Just a safe home for
them, it's just not clean here."
Her plight is part of the poignant
ordeal of at least 5,000 refugees
stranded with little food and un-
sanitary conditions at the Bab Al-
Salameh crossing, camped in
immense sheds where trucks car-
rying cargo were once inspected.
Ailing refugees wait outside, some
stretched out on cots, to be treated
by doctors for diabetes and food
poisoning. A baby whose family
fled the city of Aleppo weeks ago
sleeps in a car seat, surrounded by
mosquito netting.
Refugees are stranded here on
the border because of Turkey's de-
cision two weeks ago to ban new ar-
rivals into the country until it can


construct new refugee camps. The
country has already taken in some
80,000 Syrians and will let women in
like Abdallah, but only to give birth.
"We send delivery cases to
Turkey, but the problem is that
after they give birth, they are sent
back on the same day or the next,"
said Dr Necmi, a Turkish doctor
working at a small clinic on the
border run by a Turkish aid organ-
ization also provides cooked meals
to the refugees.
"There is no healthy place here
for these women to be comfort-
able," he said.
The United Nations estimates
1.2 million people aredisplaced in-
side of Syria half of them chil-
dren and nowhere is it more
apparent than in Bab al-Salameh
which seems overrun by children
of all ages, some even as young as
the 4-day-old twins.


Tornado strikes N.Y beachfront neighborhood


Associated Press


NEW YORK A tornado
swept out of the sea and hit
a beachfront neighborhood
in New York City on Satur-
day, hurling debris in the
air, knocking out power and
startling residents who
once thought of twisters as
a Midwestern phenomenon.
Videos taken by by-
standers showed a funnel
cloud sucking up water,
sand and then small pieces
of buildings, as it moved
through the Breezy Point
section of the Rockaway
peninsula in Queens.
Residents had advance
notice. The National
Weather Service issued a


tornado warning for Queens
and Brooklyn at 10:40 a.m.
The storm took people by
surprise anyway when it
struck about 30 minutes
later.
In the storm's wake, the
community of seaside bun-
galows was littered with
broken flower pots,
knocked-down fences and
smashed windows.
At the Breezy Point Surf
Club, the tornado ripped
the roofs off rows of ca-
banas, scattered deck
chairs and left a heavy
metal barbecue and
propane tank sitting in the
middle of a softball field, at
least 100 yards from any
nearby home.


Infant, 3 others killed in northeast
Oklahoma storms
Associated Press
NOWATA, Okla. -Authorities say a couple and their
grandchild had no time to reach a shelter before winds from
a severe thunderstorm flung their mobile home into a creek
in northeast Oklahoma, killing them.
The three were among four people who died in severe
storms that blasted through Oklahoma on Friday. A Missouri
truck driver also was killed when winds flipped his semi.
Nowata County sheriff's deputy Rick Harper said Saturday
the winds picked up the mobile home and carried it about
100 yards before it landed. Harper said the home basically
"disintegrated" and officials found the bodies in the water
after a two-hour search.
National Weather Service meteorologist Pete Snyder said
radar didn't show a tornado in the area, but a team was dis-
patched to determine what happened.


Missing


S.C. boy

wayside


Mediapaying

little attention

despitepleas
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. De-
spite detectives' pleas to na-
tional media, the
disappear-
ance of an .
18-month-
old black
boy with the
wide smile
has yet to
grab the
widespread
attention Amir
given to Jennings
other miss- has been
ing chil- missing since
dren's cases. Nov. 28, 2011.
Some advo-
cates say the reason why
may be as simple as the tod-
dler's gender- and his race.
From the still-unsolved
slaying of 6-year-old Jon-
Benet Ramsey more than 15
years ago to the disappear-
ance and killing of 2-year-old
Caylee Anthony, the public
has watched with rapt atten-
tion as many cases involving
young children unfolded,
often over many months. Yet
Amir Jennings, the little boy
who hasn't been seen since
he was captured on surveil-
lance video with his mother
in South Carolina nearly a
year ago, has registered as
scarcely a blip on the na-
tion's consciousness.
"Media has always leaned
toward the cute little kids,"
said Monica Caison of the
Wilmington, N.C.-based
CUE Center for Missing Per-
sons. "And unfortunately, a
lot of times they think cute
little kids are white."
Amir's mother, Zinah Jen-
nings, was convicted Friday
on a charge related to his
disappearance and sen-
tenced to 10 years in prison.
The 23-year-old woman has
been jailed since December,
and police arrested her
after she told them false,
misleading stories about the
boy's whereabouts. Jen-
nings has maintained she
left the boy somewhere safe,
but prosecution witnesses
said the young mother
claimed she was stressed
and pondered selling or giv-
ing away the boy
Jennings' mother says she
last saw her wide-eyed, giggly
grandson early on the morn-
ing of Nov 28,2011. He went
to a bank with his mother the
next day but has not been
seen since. A store owner has
testified she saw the boy and
his mother a month later, but
prosecutors challenged that
assertion, and there was no
surveillance video to back up
the claim.

Cruising the Black Sea, Danube for beautiful views around 'twin cities'


NEIL SAWYER
Special to the Chronicle

t may come as a
surprise to some that
Budapest is not one,
but two, great European
cities.

Cruising upstream from Constanta,
Bulgaria, on the Black Sea, toward Ger-
many and the headwaters of the
Danube River, passengers get a bird's-
eye view of five countries, grouped to-
gether as Eastern Europe.
The mighty Danube divides Croatia
and Serbia (remnants of the old Yu-
goslavia) prior to
our entry into
Hungary. Most of
the area through
agricultural with
an occasional vil-
lage popping into
view, marked by a
church steeple,
Neil Sawyer visible from miles
seig SOA erO away. It seems as
SPONTANEOUS if we're on a slow
TRAVELER boat to China be-
cause of the
length of time to
arrive at these seemingly distant
villages.
Finally, off in the distance we began
seeing commercial buildings and de-
velopments larger than the rural farms,
forests, and the ever-present church
steeple. As we rounded a bend in the
river, some of the first structures to
come into full view were bridges the
five bridges of Budapest.
Our excitement over the famous
bridges of Budapest soon gave way to
the thrills of visual perspective of the
two cities of Buda, on the left (west),
and Pest, on the right (east). Buda and
Pest were significant cities in their own
right up until 1873, when the two cities


were unified into one, with the famous
Chain Bridge connecting the two. Thus,
Budapest was born and became a
major banking and cultural center for
Eastern Europe.
French writer Jules Romain said,
when he visited Budapest, "Budapest,
along with the Danube, comprise one
of the most beautiful riverside city
landscapes of all, equaling London on
the Thames and Paris on the Seine."
A great way to get one's bearings is to
first visit the Buda side by climbing
Castle Hill, which was the home of a
medieval castle that has now been re-
placed by the Budapest Royal Palace
that houses the Historical Museum of
the City of Budapest, as well as the Na-
tional Library and the Hungarian Na-
tional Gallery
Nearby, on Castle Hill,
is Fisherman's Bastion, a
fort-like bastion built so
fishermen could protect Beautifl
that stretch of the city 2. Parlik
wall above the river
There's a viewing prome-
nade that allows the best possible view
of the Danube and the Pest side of the
city. Plan to spend some time on Castle
Hill, as there is a lot to see and the
view is unbeatable. Then head over to
the Pest side via the historic and beau-
tiful Chain Bridge.
The locals, of course, call Pest the
best, but as a first-time visitor we'll
leave that for them to work out The
best of Pest, for the sake of brevity, is
the magnificent neo-Gothic Parliament
Building dominating the skyline, the
Church of St. Stephen and the Castle
Palace, to name a few.
A serene night cruise on the river is
another way to get the full impact of
this impressive city and its stately
buildings.
These timeless structures are trans-
formed into a virtual sea of lights at
night, dazzling to its audience, with re-
flections of the city's waterfront on the
Danube.

Dear Annie: My hus-
band and I have
been married for 30
years. We each have adult
children from previous mar-
riages.
One, "Luella," only wants
a relationship when it suits
her We don't hear from her
on Father's Day, but if you
miss something for her,
she's "hurt." She's a taker,
not a giver.
A year ago, Luella had a
baby We asked about visit-
ing, but Luella simply didn't
respond. We offered to help
when the baby came home
from the hospital, but were
told they wanted to "bond as
a family," and we respected
that
Finally, in
desperation, I
put the ball in
her court. She
didn't like it one
bit, but after a
particularly vit-
riolic email, she
finally gave us a
date to come
visit.
Luella lives
across the coun-
try, and it's not
easy to get ANNI
there, finan- MAILI
cially and physi-
cally We would
be willing to go if we felt we
were welcome.
So should we go or wait
until she is more eager to
see us?
We don't want to be la-
beled as disinterested
grandparents, nor do we
want to be resented.
The joy of meeting our
new granddaughter has
been diminished by Luella's
attitude. What would you
do? The Undoubtedly
Wicked Stepmother
Dear Stepmother: Go.
Luella will never be "more
eager." Yes, her hand was

forced, but you arranged
that, so take advantage.
Don't make this about
Luella. It's about seeing
your grandchild. Stay in a
hotel if you can manage it.
Bring a house gift for the
parents, as well as a gift for
the baby
Be sweet and pleasant.
Some children are simply
difficult, and you must deal
with them as they are in
order to stay in their lives.
Dear Annie: I disagree
with your suggestion to "Old
in Indiana" that the division
of her estate "should be rel-
atively equal."
She has every right to di-
vide her estate as she feels
proper and deserving. The
ones who give the
least always ex-
pect the most. -
Reward the De-
serving
Dear Reward:
Yes, some children
deserve more, and
parents can do
what they like.
Our concern is
what happens to
the sibling rela-
tionships when the
E'S parents die and
BOX one child inherits
more than the oth-
ers.
It's a recipe for lifelong
estrangement, and parents
should take this into consid-
eration when making out
their wills.

BUDAPEST
Continued from PageA9

Aside from the historical struc-
tures and beauty of these twin cities,
our favorite time was spent at Hotel
Helia, a thermal and spa hotel, which


is home to a rejuvenating hot mineral
spring so convenient!
A few minutes in these soothing
waters can erase all trauma of a full
day of walking, standing, and climb-
ing in and around one of the most
picturesque cities in Europe, the
twin cities of Buda and Pest, which
are now one.

Retraining program



brings new benefits


Honorably discharged
veterans from the
age of 35 years to no
more than 60 years can now
apply for up to 12 months of
retraining assistance valued
at $1,473 per month. A press
release issued by the Veter-
ans Administration on Aug.
27 addresses the details of
the Veterans Retraining As-
sistance program (VRAP).
In addition to the age re-
quirements, those eligible
will be currently
unemployed,
have an other
than dishonor-
able discharge,
are not eligible
for any other VA
education benefit
programs, are not
in receipt of VA
compensation
due to Individual Barbara
Unemployability VETEI
(UI), and must not VIE
be enrolled in a
federal or state
job training program. Ap-
proved 2013 phase VRAP
recipients are encouraged
to start training full-time by
April 2013 in order to re-
ceive the fullest benefit be-
fore assistance under this
benefit program ends on
March 31, 2014. The VA is
currently accepting applica-
tions via the website,
www.benefits.va.gov/VOW
Training must be in a VA-
approved program of study
offered by a community col-
lege or technical school, and
your program of study must
lead to an associate degree,
non-college degree, or cer-
tificate for a high-demand
occupation as defined by
the Department of Labor
(DOL). High-demand occu-
pations are defined by the
DOL via a link from the US
Department of Veterans Af-
fairs' website, www.va.gov/
or call the VA toll free at 1-
800-827-1000. Information
may also be obtained by vis-
iting the One-Stop Career
Center/Workforce Connec-
tion at 1103 East Inverness
Blvd., Inverness, or by call-
ing that location at 352-

The VA expects to fill all
45,000 available slots for the

a small segment of the Vet-
eran population that may
not have regular interaction
with the VA or stay informed
about veterans' benefits and
opportunities.
Veterans are not the only
ones who benefit from this
program. Businesses who
employ veterans that are
participating or have com-
pleted this program may
apply for Work Opportunity
Tax Credits (WOTC) and
Special Em-
- ployer Incentives
(SEI).
Employers
S' who hire veter-
ans receive reim-
bursement of up
to 50 percent of
the veteran's
salary during the
SEI program,
Corcoran which typically
RANS' lasts up to 6
WS months, to cover
expenses in-
curred for cost of
instruction, necessary loss
of production due to train-
ing status, VA support dur-
ing training and placement
follow-up phase to assist
with work- or training-re-
lated needs, and more.
Veterans hired under the
SEI program receive,
among other benefits, im-
mediate income and bene-
fits as an employee,
increased chance of being
hired as a result of em-
ployer incentives, and one-
on-one support from a VA
vocational rehabilitation
counselor or employment
coordinator to assist with
training- or work-related
needs.
Last month, I mentioned
some changes to the transi-
tion program, geared to-
ward those who are close to,
or currently experiencing,
separation from the mili-


tary The programs I'm dis-
cussing today are not re-
stricted to those who are
transitioning from military
life to civilian life. That's
why I'm excited to share this
information, because there
are so many veterans who
are beyond that transitional
phase and are anxious to
find work.
The occupations on the
DOEs list aren't out of reach,
either. They're widely var-
ied, and what I call "real"
occupation titles; not the
kind we find in a small clas-
sified listing "high pay for
stuffing envelopes" by call-
ing a 1-800 number.
The high-demand occupa-
tion categories include, but
are not limited to: architec-
ture and engineering, busi-
ness and financial, legal,
food preparation and serv-
ing, sales, office and admin-
istrative support,
construction, computer and
mathematical, arts, design,
entertainment, sports,
media and much more.
The Citrus County Vet-
eran's Coalition website
(www.ccvcfl.org) has this list
and other pertinent links for
you to click, follow and print
for your own reference.
By all means, if you're be-
tween the ages of 35 and 60,
an honorably discharged
veteran, and meet the crite-
ria listed, then jump on this
opportunity It could change
your life!

The wedding planner


J just got back from a May-December wed-
ding the bride looked like she was
born last May; the groom, last December
If they were any younger, they'd have been
wearing formal onesies.
As soon as I got off the plane, I was handed
a three-page, single-spaced wedding
agenda.
How on earth would they stick to such a
strict schedule? Every waking moment was
planned with military precision. But as
someone who's been to a lot of weddings, I
know they never go exactly as
planned.
Here is what the wedding
agenda looked like in hindsight:
FRIDAY
5:30 to 6:30 p.m.: Church re-
hearsal. Bride breaks into tears;
bride's father takes a swing at the
groom.
7 to 8:30 p.m.: Rehearsal din-
ner Maid of honor stalks out
after catching her boyfriend flirt- JII
ing with a bridesmaid. MUL
9 to 11 p.m.: Teenage nieces
and nephews caught drinking
from half-filled glasses while grown-ups
dance.
SATURDAY
8 to 10:30 a.m.: Hair and makeup at the
Hair House. Mother of the groom mistakes
the name for another kind of establishment
and says, "I thought so."
9 to 10:30 a.m.: Groomsmen's breakfast.
Groom gets several phone calls from his
mother, asking what kind of woman he is
marrying. Groom starts drinking doubles.
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: Bridal party pho-
tos. Many usable photos are taken before
groom "urps" on bridesmaid.
Other photos show groom
begging forgiveness. S
2:30 to 2:55 p.m.: Wedding
guests are escorted to their
seats. The ushers look openly PUZZle is
embarrassed to be seen with
women they wouldn't hit on F E T C H
in a bar. A R R A
2:55 to 3 p.m.: Seating of B R A N D
the parents, who look as if L7O w E F
their shoes are much too E R LaE
tight and something smells SNC ;S F
funny in the church. P L A Q u
3:01 p.m.: Ceremony be- E L L S
gins. The bride and groom KnAT A T P
will never again look so OM ER N
young and in love, or so beau- E A R E D
tiful and handsome, as they CNACc R
do at this moment C H A R I
4:30 p.m.: Reception be- L E T Pi
gins. Open bar is mobbed by A L I A F
friends and relatives who S- L OW [E

seated. 9- 9 T
6:31 p.m.: First complaint 9-9


about how long it takes to get a Long Island
iced tea that was ordered.
7:30 p.m.: Cake cutting. Make that plural:
cakes. And cupcakes. And cake-sicles.
7:30 to 8 p.m.: Maid of honor tells embar-
rassing story but thankfully can't finish be-
cause she gets the hiccups and starts crying.
Best man is illiterate and drunk His speech
consists mainly of "I love you, man," over
and over
8 to 8:05 p.m.: Bride and groom's first
dance to "their song."
8:05 to 8:10 p.m.: Bride and her
father dance.
8:10 to 8:15 p.m.: Groom and his
mother dance awkwardly, as
groom does not know how to do
the Latin hustle.
9 p.m.: Deafening music starts,
the universal signal for old people
to leave, as simply walking up and
asking them to go home is still
considered impolite.
M 9 p.m.: Wedding cake served.
.LEN 9:05 p.m.: Bouquet toss.
Drunken guest gets smacked in
the face.
10:35 to 11 p.m.: Two couples get into a fist-

outside?" are heard.

US Open women's
final now Sunday
NEW YORK -The U.S.
Open women's singles final
has been postponed until
Sunday because of rain in
the forecast.
The match between Ser-
ena Williams and Victoria
Azarenka was originally
scheduled for Saturday
night, when the National
Weather Service is predict-
ing an 80 percent chance of
rain. Tournament officials will
announce the rescheduled
match time later Saturday.
Weather permitting, this
will mark the fourth time in
the last five years the
women's final has been
played on Sunday, with
2010 the only year in that
stretch the championship
was decided on its origi-
nally scheduled day.
US Open men's final
moved to Monday
NEWYORK-The U.S.
Open will finish on a Monday
for the fifth consecutive year.
With a potentially danger-
ous storm expected Satur-
day night in Flushing
Meadows, the tournament
suspended play for the day
while David Ferrer was
leading Novak Djokovic 5-2
in the first set of their semifi-
nal. Spectators were told to
leave Arthur Ashe Stadium.
That match was sched-
uled to resume Sunday, with
the men's final shifted from
its originally scheduled Sun-
day slot to Monday. Andy
Murray reached the final by
beating Tomas Berdych.
Jaguars donating
money for lack of
TD celebrations
JACKSONVILLE -
Maurice Jones-Drew has
been briefed. He has heard
all about Mike Mularkey's
touchdown policy, the one
in which the Jacksonville
Jaguars coach donates
money to charity every time
a player scores and hands
the ball to an official without
any kind of celebration.
Jones-Drew chuckled
when asked whether he's
going to comply with Mula-
rkey's request.
"We're entertainers, but
at the same time I'm
coachable," Jones-Drew
said this week.
Of everyone in Jack-
sonville's locker room,
Jones-Drew could have the
toughest time playing it
straight. After all, the three-
time Pro Bowl running
back has celebrated nearly
all his 74 career touch-
downs in unique fashion.
He mimicked NBA star
LeBron James' "chalk toss"
after scoring in Cleveland
last year, an animated cel-
ebration that drew a chorus
of boos. He was fined
$7,500 in 2007 for using
the goal post to simulate
an ATM withdrawal.
He has danced in the
end zone from Day 1, offer-
ing up versions of the "Cat
Daddy," the "Macarena,"
and the "Ickey Shuffle."

Texas Rangers second baseman lan Kinsler tags out Tampa Bay Rays base runner Sam Fuld ati second base to end
the first inning Saturday in St. Petersburg.




Extra frames yet again for Rays


This time, TB


beaten by Rangers


4-2 in 10 innings

Associated Press

ST PETERSBURG Rookie Ju-
rickson Profar hit a tiebreaking RBI
double in the 10th inning, helping the
Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay
Rays 4-2 on Saturday night.
Geovany Soto had a two-out double
to deep center off Kyle Farnsworth (1-
4). Profar then made it 3-2 when he
drove in pinch-runner Leonys Martin
on his hit past a diving Carlos Pena
down the first-base line.
Texas took a 4-2 lead when Josh
Hamilton, who earlier hit his 40th
homer this season, was hit by a pitch
with the bases loaded.
Mike Adams (5-3) threw a scoreless
inning for the win before Joe Nathan
pitched the 10th for his 31st save.
Pena was called out looking to end
the game with a runner on second
and was ejected for arguing the call
by plate umpire Mike Estabrook.
Orioles 5, Yankees 4
BALTIMORE The Orioles continued
their long-ball onslaught against the Yan-
kees, hitting three home runs off CC
Sabathia in a 5-4 victory that moved Balti-
more back into a tie atop the AL East with
New York.
Mark Reynolds, Lew Ford and J.J.
Hardy homered for the Orioles, who have
won 11 of 15 overall and nine of the last
13 against the Yankees. With a victory
Sunday, Baltimore will win the season se-
ries (10-8) for the first time since 1997.
Trying to secure a victory for Joe Saun-
ders (2-1), Baltimore closer Jim Johnson
entered with a 5-3 lead in the ninth. He
promptly gave up three straight singles,
the last a bunt by Derek Jeter, to load the
bases with no outs.
White Sox 5, Royals 4
CHICAGO Dayan Viciedo, Tyler
Flowers and Paul Konerko each homered
to back Chris Sale's six solid innings and
lead the Chicago White Sox to a 5-4 win
over the Kansas City Royals.
Sale (16-6) scattered five hits and
struck out six over six innings. He allowed
six baserunners in the first three innings
before settling down to retire the last 10
batters he faced.
Addison Reed finished up, extending his
White Sox rookie record with his 26th save.
Viciedo hit a solo homer in the first for
the game's first run. Flowers connected
with a two-run shot in the fourth and Kon-
erko had a solo blast in the sixth. All three
homers came off Bruce Chen (10-12), who
had won his last four starts in Chicago.

Twins 3, Indians 0
MINNEAPOLIS Cole DeVries
pitched six scoreless innings to win his
third straight start and the Minnesota
Twins beat the Cleveland Indians 3-0.
Joe Mauer had an RBI single and Josh
Willingham added a sacrifice fly in a two-
run third inning for Minnesota, which had
lost four of its past five games.
DeVries(5-5) gave up four hits and
walked one. A trio of relievers combined
for three hitless innings, with Glen
Perkins working the ninth for his 11th
save in 14 chances.
Indians starter Zach McAllister (5-7)
made it through only three innings in los-
ing his third straight decision. He allowed

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Braves 11, Mets 3
NEW YORK Kris Medlen extended
Atlanta's scoreless streak to 31 innings
for its best string in more than 20 years,
slumping Brian McCann drove in four
runs with four hits and the Braves beat
the New York Mets 11-3.
A tornado touched down in Queens
about 15 miles away several hours before
the game. Dark, ominous clouds swept in
later, causing a 75-minute rain delay after
the sixth inning.
The NL wild card leaders won their
fourth straight. McCann homered, dou-
bled and tied a career high for hits and
Dan Uggla kept up his recent resurgence
at the plate with three hits and two walks,
scoring three times.
Medlen (8-1) allowed four hits and left
with an 8-2 lead after the rain and con-
tributed a long RBI double.
Atlanta has won the last 19 games
Medlen has started, dating to 2010.
Nationals 7, Marlins 6, 10 inns.
WASHINGTON Pinch hitter Corey
Brown's single drove in lan Desmond with
the winning run in the bottom of the 10th
inning, lifting the Washington Nationals to


a 7-6 victory over the Florida Marlins.
After Adam LaRoche singled off Chad
Guadin (3-2) to open the inning,
Desmond singled him to third and Danny
Espinosa was intentionally walked to load
the bases. Suzuki grounded into a
fielder's choice with LaRoche thrown out
at home, but Brown followed with a bloop
single to right.
The Nationals, a major league-best 86-
53, began the day with a 61-game lead
over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.
Dodgers 3, Giants 2
SAN FRANCISCO Hanley Ramirez
hit a go-ahead RBI double in the top of
the ninth inning and the Los Angeles
Dodgers trimmed a game off their division
deficit with a 3-2 win against the NL
West-leading San Francisco Giants.
Adrian Gonzalez led off the ninth with a
triple against Jeremy Affeldt (1-2), then
Ramirez came through with a double to
the gap in right-center. That was the
Dodgers' first hit in 15 tries so far this se-
ries with runners in scoring position.
Ronald Belisario (5-1) pitched out of
trouble in the eighth for the victory, help-
ing Los Angeles snap a four-game losing
streak to rival San Francisco in a key
September weekend.
Cubs 4, Pirates 3
PITTSBURGH Jeff Samardzija
pitched the Cubs' first complete game in
his final start of the season and Chicago
beat the fading Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3.
David DeJesus singled in Welington
Castillo with two outs in the eighth for the
go-ahead run after Pittsburgh had tied the
game at 3 in the bottom of the seventh.
Samardzija (9-13) overcame a rocky
first inning to allow two hits over his final
8 2-3 innings. With the 27-year-old in his
first full season as a major league starter,
the Cubs announced Friday their inten-
tion to shut him down for the season.
Alfonso Soriano hit his 27th home run
for the Cubs, who arrived in Pittsburgh
having lost 17 of their previous 18 road
games but won for the second consecu-
tive night.
Reds 5, Astros 1
CINCINNATI Bronson Arroyo ex-
tended his personal winning streak to five
games, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips
hit solo home runs and the first-place
Cincinnati Reds bounced back from a
frustrating loss with a 5-1 win over the
last-place Houston Astros.
Phillips and Joey Votto both had two
hits to help Arroyo improve to 8-1 over his
last nine starts and 9-2 since July 6.
Arroyo (12-7) had at least one
baserunner in every inning except the
seventh his last but allowed just a
first-inning run.
Brewers 6, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS --Aramis Ramirez had
three hits, including his 22nd home run,
to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-3
win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Ricky Weeks added a solo home run
and Ryan Braun went 3 for 5 with a run
scored for Milwaukee. Carlos Gomez went
2 for 4 and drove in two runs. Ramirez,
who also walked twice, reached base all
five times he batted and scored twice.
Mike Fiers (9-7) allowed one run and
five hits in five innings and also got his
first career RBI with a single in the sec-
ond inning. John Axford pitched a score-
less ninth for his 27th save.
Adron Chambers had an RBI triple for
St. Louis. Jake Westbrook (13-11) went
five innings and allowed three runs on
seven hits to take the loss.

Manuel passed for three
touchdowns in the opening
seven minutes and sixth-
ranked Florida State's de-
fense held lower-division
Savannah State to 28 yards
Saturday on its way to a 55-
0 victory in a game called in
the third quarter because
of lightning.
The Seminoles bolted to a
35-0 lead in the first quarter
as Manuel completed 11 of
13 passes for 161 yards and
five different Seminoles
scored touchdowns. Manuel
didn't play after the opening
quarter.
Florida State (2-0) led 48-0
at halftime and finished with
413 yards. James Wilder Jr
and Kelvin Benjamin each
scored two touchdowns be-
fore the game was called with
8:59 left in the third period.
Savannah State, a Foot-
ball Championship Subdivi-
sion school, has been
outscored by a combined
139-0 in its first two games
this season. It was beaten
84-0 at Oklahoma State last
week. The Mid-Eastern Ath-

those sort of things, but with
all of our hospitality in the

everybody happy and every-
body wanted the glory story
here with A&M, and they did-
n't get it," Muschamp said.
Florida trailed 17-10 at
halftime after a first half in
which Texas A&M's offense
under new coach Kevin
Sumlin pretty much did what
it wanted. Things changed in
the second half as the Gators
clamped down and forced
punts each of A&M's six pos-
sessions after the break.

Benoist continued. "I think
we have a real chance this
year to go to state."
Benoist wowed the local
cross country scene when
she was a fast fifth grader at
Seven Rivers Christian.
Today, she has been to state
six times and seems like a
good bet to run again in
Tallahassee.
"I think some of the girls
ran very well and some of
the girls didn't run as well as
they would like," said
Lecanto High assistant
coach Steve Farnsworth.
"Katie Mattingly (47th, 23:57)
ran her first race of her life.
My daughter (Claire) ran her
first race. She ran well.
Chloe didn't have a good
race. That happens."
Citrus High's Alyssa
Weber had the top local fin-
ish with seventh but she did-
n't seem satisfied. She ran a
21:06.
"I thought I could do bet-
ter," she said.
The Crystal River High
girls team did not have a
team score as several key
members were missing due
to other commitments.
Chloe Lane was 32nd with


games, which will help the
athletic program meet its
total budget of $5.1 million.
The school came into the
game as unprecedented 70
1/2-point underdogs and
covered, thanks to the
weather.
How lopsided was it?
Florida State racked up 255
yards in the first quarter
while Savannah State's of-
fense went backward to the
tune of 20 yards.
Savannah State trailed 35-
0 by the time it picked up its
first of three first downs in
the game on a 12-yard pass
from Antonio Bostick to Ed-
ward Lackey, Jr.
Florida State scored four
touchdowns on its first 13
plays and led 28-0 just seven
minutes into the game as

the strongest leaderboard in
golf all year going into the
final round.

played more disciplined
football," Muschamp said.
Sumlin, the former Hous-
ton coach, was disappointed
the Aggies continued a
trend from last year of en-
tering the second half with a
lead, only to lose.
"It's something we ad-
dressed," he said. "It's the
elephant in the room."
Caleb Sturgis helped
Florida cut A&M's lead to 17-
13 with a 25-yard field goal
early in the third quarter.
Florida quarterback Jeff
Driskel looked indecisive
most of the day and was
sacked eight times. But he
made a play when he had to,
finding Omarius Hines on a
39-yard completion to pro-
pel a drive early in the


420 points.
Crystal River male run-
ner Brandon Harris was
27th with a time of 18:12.
"I'm happy with my whole
team," said Crystal River
High boys coach Tim Byrne.
"Everybody on the team ran
well for the first race of the
season. Brandon ran well. I
am hoping to get some com-
petition out of them."
Lecanto's Sam Alford was
38th with a time of 18:36.
The Crystal River High
boys were 10th with a score
of 326. Citrus High was 13th
with a score of 406.
Lecanto's boys were 15th
with a score of 409.
Citrus's Corbin Clarke
was 65th with a time of
19:34.
"We are not in good
shape," said Citrus High
boys coach James Martone.
"We missed a lot of days
with the rain. If they are not
on their own, we are fight-
ing the early part of the sea-
son. I am very proud of
Corbin Clarke. Cameron
Grant was second. We can

Savannah State (0-2) won
the opening coin toss and
elected to defer and then
booted the game's opening
kickoff out of bounds, giving
Florida State the ball at its
own 35. Just 39 seconds later,
Manuel hit Rodney Smith on
a 61-yard scoring bomb on
the Seminoles third play
and the rout was on.
Chris Thompson's 6-yard
run 2 1/2 minutes later made
it 14-0, followed by Manuel's
8-yard TD pass to Greg Dent
made it 21-0 with 8:53 re-
maining in the first quarter
After a Rashad Greene
punt return of 39 yards,
Manuel connected with Ben-
jamin on a 9-yard touchdown
pass and the Seminoles were
up 28-0 with 7:57 remaining
in the opening period.

them have been No. 1 in the

"The crowd is pretty

Gillislee finished it off,
evading a couple of defend-
ers and then tight-roping
the sideline on a 12-yard
touchdown run to put
Florida up 20-17. Gillislee
had a 4 yard score in the
first quarter.
Driskel also came up big
late in the game with a 21-
yard run to give the Gators a
first down and allow them to
run out the clock.
"We were really com-
posed in here," Driskel said
of the mood at halftime. "No
one was pointing fingers at
each other We just came in
and got the things we
needed corrected cor-
rected. We knew there was a

No. 14 Ohio State handles UCF 31-16


Turnovers, OSU's

Miller are undoing

ofKnights

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio Central
Florida coach George O'Leary
certainly doesn't believe in moral
victories.
After Braxton Miller rushed for
three touchdowns and threw for
another to lead No. 14 Ohio State to
a 31-16 win over the Knights on Sat-
urday, it was suggested to O'Leary
that his team did well to throw a
scare into the Buckeyes.
"I'm not into 'we played this' or
'we played that,"' he said. "You ei-
ther win or lose. We lost."
But, he added, he believes the
old maxim that teams learn more
from defeat than victory
"I don't know whoever said (it)
the other way, but they're nuts," he
said. "That coach is no longer
working."
The Knights learned a lot. They
hung tough with the Buckeyes,
trailing 17-10 at the half, but made
too many mistakes to win on the
road against a ranked opponent.


Associated Press
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller breaks away from Central Florida
players on his way to a touchdown during the first quarter Saturday in
Columbus, Ohio.


"Nobody in that locker room
thought, 'We hope we have a shot
(at winning),"' quarterback Blake
Bortles said. "We all knew coming
in that we were going to be in this
game and we could win. It wasn't, 'I
hope it's a close game.' We ex-
pected to win this game."
Bortles learned as much as any-
one from the loss. He completed 25
of 41 passes for 249 yards and two


touchdowns, a 1-yarder to Justin
Tukes and a 2-yarder to Billy Gio-
vanetti. But he also had three in-
terceptions two of which led to
Ohio State touchdowns.
"If I play better, we have a good
chance of winning," Bortles said.
Miller's scoring runs covered 37,
6 and 8 yards to prop up an Ohio
State ground game that was miss-
ing its top two backs. He also found

No. 21 Kansas State defends home with 52-13 rout ofMiam


Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kan. Miami
pushed Kansas State to the limit last
season, forcing the Wildcats to make
a dramatic goal-line stand in the clos-
ing minutes to preserve the victory
This one wasn't even close.
Collin Klein threw for 210 yards
and ran for 71 more Saturday, ac-
counting for four touchdowns and
leading the 21st-ranked Wildcats to a
52-13 rout
"They were excellent," Miami
coach Al Golden said. "They beat us
in all three phases. They outplayed
us, outcoached us, starting with me,
and that's it. No excuses. They de-
served to win."
The blowout stood in stark con-
trast to their previous meeting in
Coral Gables, Fla., when Kansas
State eked out a 28-24 win.
Miami only managed 40 yards
rushing on 29 carries this time a
paltry 1.4-yard average. Stephen
Morris threw for 215 yards but was
sacked five times.


"We made a million adjustments,"
Golden said. "We just didn't stop
them. We didn't tackle well enough.
We didn't get the ball stopped."
Kansas State had plenty to do with
that.
John Hubert had 106 yards rushing
and a touchdown, and Daniel Sams
added two scores on the ground as
the Wildcats (2-0) rolled up 498 yards
of total offense while holding Miami
to 262.
The Hurricanes also hurt them-
selves by fumbling three times, once
on their opening drive.
"We can't do that," Golden said.
"We have a chance to answer right
there and settle in a little bit. We
never really settled in."
The Canes, opening with consecu-
tive road games for the first time
since 2005, looked like an inexperi-
enced bunch against the senior-
laden Wildcats. They had 14 players
appear in their first game a week
ago, including 12 freshmen from a
roster that has 42 first-year guys.
Talented freshman Duke Johnson


managed only 19 yards on the groin
after gaining 135 in last Saturde
win at Boston College, when Mi;
rallied from an early 14-0 deficit.
"I just wasn't making the mos
my opportunities," Johnson se
"That's all."
Same could be said for the res
the Hurricanes, whose perform:
was summed up by a 5-second s]
in the fourth quarter: Morris fi
bled while getting sacked, and Sa
sprinted 15 yards on the next pla3
give Kansas State a 45-6 lead v
10:51 remaining in the game.
Miami (1-1) scored its only tou
down in the closing minutes, wl
backup quarterback Ryan Willia
completed a short scoring pass
lowing a long kickoff return.
"When we went down 14-0, it
like, 'OK, this is just like last we
We're going to just stick together
Miami center Shane McDern
said. "Even when we went dc
even further than that, we were j
saying, 'OK let's stick together, 1
keep going, keep our head down.


Bulldogs take care of Tigers 28-1l


Associated Press

STARKVILLE, Miss. -
Tyler Russell threw for 222
yards and three touch-
downs, Marcus Green
caught two touchdown
passes and Mississippi
State easily beat Auburn
28-10 on Saturday at Davis
Wade Stadium.
Auburn briefly took a 10-
7 lead when Onterio Mc-
Calebb returned a kickoff
100 yards for a touchdown
to open the second half, but
Mississippi State (2-0, 1-0
Southeastern Conference)
responded with 21 unan-
swered points.
Auburn (0-2, 0-1) strug-
gled through an awful of-
fensive performance.
Kiehl Frazier completed 13
of 22 passes for 125 yards
and three interceptions.
The victory broke a
string of unsavory trends
for the Bulldogs. They had
lost 10 out of the last 11
against Auburn includ-


ing four straight and
hadn't won an SEC opener
since 1999.
Tennessee 51,
Georgia State 13
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -
Justin Hunter tied a school
single-game record Saturday
by catching three of Tyler
Bray's four touchdown passes,
as Tennessee trounced Foot-
ball Championship Subdivi-
sion program Georgia State
51-13 in its home opener.
Hunter caught eight passes
for 146 yards in his second
game back for Tennessee (2-
0) after tearing the anterior
cruciate ligament in his left
knee last September. A Ten-
nessee player had caught
three touchdown passes in a
game eight previous times,
most recently by Chris Han-
non in a 59-21 victory over
Mississippi State in 2003.
Bray went 18 of 20 for 310
yards and completed his last
13 passes, the third-longest


streak in school history. His
other touchdown pass was a
19-yarder to Mychal Rivera.
Virginia 17,
Penn St. 16
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
- Virginia's Michael Rocco hit
Jake McGee on a 6-yard
touchdown pass with 1:28 to
play Saturday, and Sam
Ficken's fourth missed field
goal of the game from 42
yards at the gun preserved
the Cavaliers' 17-16 victory
over Penn State.
The loss in new coach Bill
O'Brien's first road game hurt
the Nittany Lions just as much,
if not moreso, than their defeat
last weekend at home against
Ohio. Penn State (0-2) forced
four turnovers in Virginia terri-
tory, continually taking it away
to give its offense another op-
portunity, but then couldn't
close the deal.
Virginia's winning drive cov-
ered 86 yards in 12 plays, the
biggest blow a 44-yard pass


from Rocco to Jake McGee
on third-and-16 from the C
aliers' 22 yard-line. Seven
plays later, on third-and-go
from the 6, Rocco found
McGee open again in the e
zone, and Drew Jarrett's e:
point was the difference.
Maryland 36,
Temple 27
PHILADELPHIA- Perr
Hills threw two touchdowns
and ran for one to help Mar
land beat Temple 36-27.
Embarrassed by the Owls
a 31-point loss last season,
Terrapins (2-0) nearly blew
23-point lead at halftime. Hil
had all three of his scores in
half to help Maryland race tc
26-3 lead. The Owls store
back in the second half but r
out of time and big plays.
Maryland played nothing
like the team that squeaked
out a 7-6 win last week
against Football Champi-
onship Subdivision team
William & Mary.


Jake Stoneburner on a 12-yard
touchdown pass.
Miller hit on 18 of 24 passes for
155 yards no completion going
for more than 15 yards with one
interception.
"Everything they talk about
Braxton Miller is accurate,"
O'Leary said. "He can make you
look very foolish. At times he did
with our team."
The last Ohio State quarterback
to rush for three touchdowns in a
game was Art Schlichter against
Illinois in 1978.
Ahead by a tenuous seven points
at the start of the second half, the
Buckeyes put the game out of reach
with big contributions from Miller
and the defense.
Miller was at the controls as the
Buckeyes took the kickoff and
rolled 76 yards in 12 plays. At the
UCF 12, he looked right, then
rolled left before lobbing a pass
barely over the outstretched arm of
cornerback Jordan Ozerities to
Stoneburner in the end zone.
After the extra-point and kickoff,
Bortles threw a ball up for grabs
that was picked off by linebacker
Etienne Sabino at the Knights' 32.
"That's a horrible decision," Bor-
tles said. "I've got to throw that ball
out of bounds. I put our defense in
a tough situation."

Beavers bite No. 13 Badgers





stunned by a


La.-Monroe in OT

Associated Press

CORVALLIS, Ore. Sean Man-
nion threw for 276 yards and a
touchdown, Oregon State's defense
smothered Wisconsin's Montee
Ball and the Beavers upset the No.
13 Badgers 10-7 on Saturday
Mannion connected with
Brandin Cooks on a 20-yard touch-
down on the opening drive of the
second half to give the Beavers a
10-0 lead then turned it over to the
Oregon State (1-0) defense that
forced two turnovers and held Ball
to 61 yards rushing.
The win snapped Wisconsin's 33-
game non-conference winning
streak, the second-longest in the
country behind LSU.
Wisconsin finished with 207
yards and only 35 on the ground. It
was the lowest total yardage for
Wisconsin in five years. The previ-
ous non-conference loss for Wis-
consin (1-1) came early in the 2003
season when the Badgers lost to
UNLV
Louisiana-Monroe 34,
No. 8 Arkansas 31, OT
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Kolton Brown-
ing's 16-yard touchdown run on fourth-
and-one lifted Louisiana-Monroe to a
34-31 overtime win over No. 8 Arkansas.
Browning accounted for 481 yards of
total offense and four touchdowns to
lead the Warhawks (1-0) to their first
win over a Southeastern Conference
team since defeating Alabama in 2007.
The Razorbacks (1-1) played the
second half without quarterback Tyler
Wilson, who suffered a head injury after
taking several big hits in the first half.
Wilson, who also missed the second
half against New Mexico last season
with concussion-like symptoms, was
11-of-20 passing for 196 yards and a
pair of touchdowns before leaving the
game at halftime.
Louisiana-Monroe outgained
Arkansas 550-377 in total yards.
No. 2 USC 42, Syracuse 29
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Matt
Barkley threw a career-best six touch-
down passes, and Robert Woods was
spectacular with 200 all-purpose yards
and two scores, to help No. 2 Southern
California shake free of Syracuse 42-29.
The rare trip to the northeast for the
Trojans was choppy at times, and
Syracuse's hurry-up offense kept USC
working hard for four quarters at
MetLife Stadium.
Ryan Nassib and Syracuse's hurry-
up offense kept things close with con-
secutive touchdowns in the third quarter
to make it 21-16 heading into the fourth.
Nassib finished with 327 yards passing,
two touchdown passes and a touch-
down run.
But the Orange simply had no answer
for Woods.
The All-American reached over a
defender for a 29-yard score in the
second quarter and boxed out a defen-
sive back on a 4-yard touchdown in
the third. He finished with 10 catches
for 93 yards.
No. 1 Alabama 35,
Western Kentucky 0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. --AJ McCar-
ron passed for 219 yards and matched
his career high with four touchdown
passes to lead No. 1 Alabama to a 35-0
win over Western Kentucky.
McCarron had two scoring tosses
apiece to Christion Jones and Kevin
Norwood in a performance that was
more about big plays than consistent,
muscle-flexing dominance for the top-
ranked Crimson Tide (2-0). The Hilltop-
pers (1-1) were 40-point underdogs
and the sandwich opponent between
top 10 opponents Michigan and No. 8
Arkansas.
A running game that produced 232
yards against the Wolverines took a
back seat to McCarron and the capital-
istic defense. McCarron completed 14
of 19 passes and played all but the
final series.
Norwood caught three passes for 92
yards.
No. 3 LSU 41, Washington 3
BATON ROUGE, La. -Alfred Blue

Oregon State's Brandin Cooks runs against Wisconsin's Mike Taylor (53) and Pat Muldoon (92) during the

Power runner Kenny Hilliard added a
pair of short touchdowns and fullback
J.C. Copeland powered through for an-
other score for LSU (2-0), which basi-
cally ran at will while averaging nearly 5
yards per carry.
Tigers quarterback Zach Metten-
berger was an efficient 12-of-18 for 195
yards, including a 32-yard scoring strike
to Kadron Boone. James Wright caught
five passes for 75 yards.
Keith Price was 17 of 36 for 157 yards
for the Huskies (1-1). Normally a good
scrambler, Price had trouble with LSU's
speedy defenders, who sacked him four
times and intercepted him once.

lead in the first half before the Bulldogs
were able to slow them a bit in the sec-
ond. Redshirt freshman quarterback
Marcus Mariota completed 19 of 27
passes for 166 yards and a touchdown.
Derek Carr, the younger brother of
former Bulldogs QB David Carr, com-

ran for 156 yards and four touchdowns
in a record-setting Owen Field debut,
Kenny Stills added 120 yards receiving
and a score, and No. 5 Oklahoma beat
Florida A&M 69-13.
Williams' rushing total was the most
for a player in his first game at the
Sooners' home field, and he became
only the fourth player at the school to
eclipse 100 yards rushing in each of his
first two games. Adrian Peterson was
the last to do it, in 2004.
Landry Jones threw for 252 yards
and two touchdowns with one intercep-
tion for the Sooners (2-0), who had
dropped a spot in the rankings after an
unimpressive 24-7 victory in their
opener at UTEP.

COLUMBIA, S.C. Dylan Thomp-
son completed 21 of 37 passes for 330

No. 9 South Carolina (2-0) beat East

Thompson started the game in place
of the injured Connor Shaw, and left lit-
tle doubt coach Steve Spurrier made
the right choice to let Shaw rest.
Thompson's first completion was a
53-yard pass to Damiere Byrd. He fin-
ished the game averaging almost 16
yards a completion and did not throw
an interception.
The rejuvenated passing game al-
lowed Spurrier to use star running back
Marcus Lattimore sparingly. He gained


40 yards on 13 carries.

The Spartans (2-0) scored 10 points
in the final minute of the first half to take
a 24-0 lead. Michigan State was play-
ing at Central Michigan (1-1) for the first
time, part of a decade-long series of
games against the Chippewas, Eastern
Michigan and Western Michigan.
Le'Veon Bell had 70 yards on 18 car-
ries with two touchdowns, shouldering
a lighter load after carrying 44 times for
210 yards in Michigan State's opener
against Boise State.
No. 12 Clemson 52,
Ball State 27
CLEMSON, S.C. DeAndre Hop-
kins caught three touchdown passes,
Andre Ellington rushed for two scores
and Spencer Benton kicked a 61-yard
field goal to set an Atlantic Coast Con-
ference record in No. 12 Clemson's 52-
27 victory over Ball State.
Ellington's two short TD runs helped
the Tigers (2-0) get off to a fast start,
and Tajh Boyd found Hopkins for touch-
down passes of 13, 34 and 15 yards in
the second period to help increase the
lead to 35-10. Benton finished the
Tigers'45-point half with his record-set-
ting kick as time ran out.
Ball State (1-1) had hoped to use its
fast-paced attack to keep up. But Keith
Wenning threw two interceptions, both
which led to Clemson scores.
No. 15 Virginia Tech 42,
Austin Peay 7
BLACKSBURG, Va. Virginia Tech
used two big plays in the punt return
game to overcome a lethargic offensive
start and the No. 15 Hokies beat Austin
Peay 42-7.
Kyshoen Jarrett's 46-yard punt re-
turn set up a 2-yard touchdown run by
Michael Holmes to give the Hokies a
7-0 lead.
Still not clicking on offense, especially
in the running game, Virginia Tech (2-0)
got a momentum-building punt block by
Tony Gregory midway through the sec-
ond period. Five plays later, Logan
Thomas scored on a 1-yard sneak.
No. 19 Michigan 31,
Air Force 25
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Denard
Robinson ran for 218 yards, threw for
208 and scored four times to help No.
19 Michigan hold off Air Force for a 31-
25 win.
Robinson became the first player in
major college football since at least
1996 to have at least 200 yards rushing
and 200 passing in three games, ac-
cording to STATS LLC.
The Wolverines (1-1) bounced back
after a 41-14 loss to Alabama, though
they had a tough time beating the Fal-


cons (1-1) in a game they were favored
to win easily.
Cody Getz ran for 130 yards, with his
third rushing TD and a 2-point conver-
sion pulling Air Force within three early
in the fourth.
No. 20 TCU 56,
Grambling St. 0
FORT WORTH, Texas Casey
Pachall threw three touchdowns passes
after No. 20 TCU had already scored
touchdowns on special teams and de-
fense in the first 7 minutes of a 56-0
victory over Grambling State.
Pachall threw TD passes of 12 and
66 yards to Josh Boyce in the Horned
Frogs' first game as a Big 12 Confer-
ence member, and the debut of their
$164 million completely re-done sta-
dium. Pachall played only the first half
and was 9-of-9 passing for 201 yards.
Trevone Boykin was 8 of 8 for 75
yards and a TD in the second half.
The combined 17-of-17 passing was
the most in FBS history without an in-
completion.
No. 22 Notre Dame 20,
Purdue 17
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -Tommy Rees
came off the bench to lead Notre Dame
on a last-minute, winning drive as the
No. 22 Irish got a 27-yard field goal
from Kyle Brindza with seven seconds
to go and beat Purdue 20-17.
Rees, who was suspended for the
opener after he was involved in a skir-
mish with police at a party in May, re-
lieved starter Everett Golson late in the
fourth quarter.
Purdue (1-1) had tied the game at
17-17 when Caleb TerBush threw a 15-
yard TD pass to Antavian Edison with
2:12 left, the score set up by Josh
Johnson's recovery of a Golson fumble.
Golson was shaken up on the play and
the Irish turned to Rees, who started 12
games last season.
Rees connected on key third down
passes of 10 yards to John Goodman
and 21 yards to Robby Toma to get
Brindza in position for the game-win-
ning kick. Notre Dame is 2-0 for the first
time since 2008.
No. 23 Louisville 35,
Missouri State 7
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Teddy Bridge-
water kept No. 23 Louisville's offense
clicking by passing for a career-high
344 yards and two touchdowns, while
the defense stifled Missouri State in a
35-7 rout.
Despite a statistical falloff from last
week's 19-of-21 effort against Ken-
tucky, Bridgewater still completed 30 of
39 passing attempts. He once again in-
volved others and often, with seven of
his 10 targets catching at least three
passes.
Eli Rogers led the way with six re-
ceptions, while Charles Gaines had a
game-high 73 yards. Tight ends Nate
Nord and Ryan Hubbell caught TDs as
the Cardinals totaled 475 yards, eight
more than last week.

Bucs start

Schiano era

against Panthers

Associated Press

TAMPA As usual,
Ronde Barber tried to de-
flect attention from himself.
Tampa Bay's five-time Pro
Bowl selection insists he's
approaching his 200th con-
secutive NFL start as if it's
just another game. Yet he
concedes Sunday's season
opener against Cam Newton
and the Carolina Panthers is
anything but that for the
Buccaneers, who'll be mak-
ing their debut under coach
Greg Schiano.
Newton threw for a
rookie-record 4,051 yards,
while also setting a league
single-season mark for
touchdowns rushing by a
quarterback in 2011, when
the 2010 Heisman Trophy
winner raised the standard
by which defenses measure
themselves. He torched the
Bucs with four TDs passing
and four more on the
ground in two games be-
tween the NFC South rivals.
The Bucs have an up-and-
coming young quarterback
of their own in Josh Free-
man and have given him
some nice new tools to work
with in his fourth season.


Associated Press
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open the season at home today
against the Carolina Panthers. The game is blacked out on


local television.
But in Barber's mind,
Tampa Bay will always be a
defensive team, and it's im-
portant to set the tone for
what he expects to be a suc-
cessful season. The 37-year-
old is making the transition
from cornerback to safety in
his 16th season, and says
Newton presents a unique
challenge for an overhauled
defense that wants to re-
deem itself after yielding a
league-high and franchise-
record 494 points in 2011.
Newton beat Tampa Bay
38-19 at Raymond James
Stadium and 48-16 in the
second meeting in Charlotte.
"Last year was last year.
I've forgotten about it. ... It
has no and when I say no,
I mean absolutely no -
bearing on this football
team," Barber said, adding


that the Bucs have bought
into a new defensive system
similar to the one Schiano
used to transform Rutgers
into a Big East contender
over the past 11 seasons.
"It's a completely differ-
ent scheme. ... We have dif-
ferent ways we're going to
play Cam, different ways
we're going to play every sit-
uation that they beat us with
last year," Barber added.
"We're looking forward to it
... It's a good start for us. We
can judge ourselves on how
we play against him."
Newton enters his second
season determined to build
on his record-breaking suc-
cess and help Carolina, 6-10
a year ago, get over the hump
and back to the playoffs.
"I'm about doing whatever
is needed to win football


games," said the 6-foot-5,245-
pounder whom the Bucs say
possesses such a unique skill
set as a runner and passer
that it's virtually impossible
to shut him down completely
"Literally, when he has the
ball, you're playing against
another running back. He's
that athletic and that good,
which really screws up your
math. And defense is all
math. It's getting your troops
deployed where the fight is
going on," Schiano said.
"It really messes up all
your rules, and assumptions
have to be tweaked. You
tweak your rules and as-
sumptions to stop the run,
and then you have a guy
who's a very potent passer,
that's what makes him as
dangerous as he is."
Tampa Bay was 4-12 last
season, finishing on a 10-
game losing streak that in-
cluded the pair of lopsided
losses to the Panthers.
A year after throwing for 25
touchdowns and just six inter-
ceptions and helping the Bucs
win 10 games in his first year
as a full-time starter, Freeman
took a step back while tossing
16 TD and. 22 interceptions.
The Bucs have sur-
rounded the 24-year-old
Freeman with more talent,
signing All-Pro guard Carl
Nicks, three-time 1,000-yard
receiver Vincent Jackson
and former Indianapolis
Colts tight end Dallas Clark
in free agency


Associated Press

HOUSTON The real
hard knocks start in Hous-
ton for Miami quarterback
Ryan Tannehill.
Picked eighth overall in
the NFL draft, he may
have the toughest test of
any of the five rookie quar-
terbacks starting on the
NFEs opening weekend.
He goes against a Texans
defense that ranked sec-
ond in yards allowed and
set a club record with 44
sacks in Wade Phillips'
first season as coordinator.
"They don't have as
many exotic pressures and
zone blitzes as you will see
from other teams, but
they're really good at what
they do," Tannehill said.
"They believe at what they
do and they're crisp at it."
Tannehill will make his
NFL debut at Reliant Sta-
dium, where he led Texas
A&M to a bowl victory over
Northwestern in his final
college game last Decem-
ber. Mike Sherman, Tan-
nehill's college coach, was
fired a few weeks before the
bowl game and hired as the
new Dolphins' offensive co-
ordinator before the draft
It's eased Tannehill's
transition to the pros by
having much of the same


playbook from A&M, and he
won the starting job in
training camp over Matt
Moore, who started 12
games last season. Veteran
David Garrard was also in
the mix until he hurt his left
knee and needed surgery in
early August. The Dolphins
waived Garrard this week.
Tannehill is the first
rookie quarterback to start
for Miami in a season
opener, something not
even Dan Marino got to do.
John Beck, currently No. 3
on Houston's depth chart,
was the last rookie to start
any games for the Dolphins
and he went 0-4 in 2007.
Miami has question marks
on the right side of the line,
where rookie Jonathan Mar-
tin will start at tackle and
backup John Jerry will start
at guard. Left tackle Jake
Long was limited at practice
this week with a right knee
injury That isn't dimming
Tannehill's eagerness head-
ing into his first game.
"It's been a whirlwind,
kind of nonstop," Tannehill
said, "but I'm really excited
in the position and the op-
portunity that I have. Now
it's just about taking advan-
tage of it. This is not the
end of the road. It's just
starting as I see it, and it's
about going out every day,
getting better"

New Kindle on fire


Associated Press
The Kindle Fire's new HD model has a screen that measures 7 inches diagonally and costs $199.

Review: HD screen is a big improvement for Amazon's tablet


RYAN NAKASHIMA
Associated Press

SANTA MONICA, Calif. Buying
movies and TV shows to watch on
the Kindle Fire will be a lot more
appealing now Amazon's tablet
computer sports a more vibrant
screen.
The screen in the Fire's new HD
models is such a major improve-
ment, I can't see why you would
purchase a regular model, even if it
means saving $40.
The HD models were among the
new devices Amazon unveiled
Thursday They start at $199 for the
smaller one, with a screen that
measures 7 inches diagonally That
will start shipping next Friday Two
models with larger screens will go
on sale in November
Amazon is also refreshing the
regular model. It promises to be 40
percent faster than the original one,
which came out last November It
also comes with a price cut to $159,
instead of the original $199. The
regular Kindle Fire will also start
shipping next Friday
The new offerings bring the Fire
into closer competition with
Apple's market-leading iPad. The
HD screens will have a higher reso-
lution, just as Apple introduced a
higher-resolution screen earlier
this year The larger models will
have 8.9-inch screens, slightly
smaller than the iPad's 9.7 inches.
By the numbers, the difference
between the HD and the regular
screens doesn't seem that big.
The smaller Kindle Fire HD has
a screen resolution of 1280 by 800.
Last year's 7-inch model and the
upgraded version with better in-
nards both have screens with 1024
by 600 pixels.
That doesn't come close to the lat-
est iPad, which has a resolution of
2048 by 1536. Nonetheless, this up-
grade feels like a big leap for Ama-
zon. It means a sharp picture
instead of one that seems made up
of lots of pixels, a welcome relief


that feels even better when you con-
sider the price. At $199, compared
with $499 for the latest iPad, I can
see this being a popular stocking
stuffer this Christmas.
Amazon has also made a couple
of important design changes in its
new HD models. For one, the speak-
ers are now on both sides of the de-
vice when held in landscape mode
like a movie screen, meaning you
can watch movies in Dolby Digital
Plus stereo sound without head-
phones. The old Kindle Fire had
stereo speakers off to one side
when held this way, and that hasn't
changed with the upgraded non-HD
model.
Both the upgraded Kindle Fire
and new HD 7-inch models also
come with a full suite of new fea-
tures that are nifty, but not game-
changing.
Both devices will feature the "X-
Ray" series of features that provide
insights into the book or movie
you're enjoying.
An on-screen tap during a movie
will list actors in the scene. With
more clicks, you can learn more
about them from Amazon's movie
information service IMDb. In books,
X-Ray has been a popular feature
on the Kindle Touch e-reader That
now works on Kindle Fire and gives
you a bird's eye view of where char-
acters or ideas appear later on in a
book.
Amazon.com Inc. has also up-
graded its audio book offerings.
"Immersion Reading" allows you to
read a book while hearing narra-
tion from a famous actor I find this
feature to be a distraction, but some
book lovers will appreciate it.
For parents, Amazon has added a
system that can control how much
time a child can spend on various
media. So, you could limit how
much your kids can watch video
and play games, but let them read
as much as they want.
I was only able to test the 7-inch
models this week. The larger ones,
which cost at least $299, won't ship


until Nov 20. Their screens will be
1920 by 1200 just short of the
iPad's.
Some aspects about the Kindle
Fire HD sounded great, but could-
n't be tested in the short time that
Amazon gave reporters to try out
the devices Thursday
For instance, it was impossible to
tell whether Kindle Fire HD's two
antennas made its performance in
Wi-Fi noticeably faster than the lat-
est iPad or Google's Nexus 7. Also
unknown was whether its promised
11-hour battery life held up for real.
In handling the device, though, I
found video played well and images
looked sharp. But it was not as re-
sponsive as I would have liked. It
seemed to lag when swiping
through pictures or through the
news feed on the custom-built Face-
book app.
There was no app that independ-
ently controlled the front-facing
camera, which is new to the Kindle
Fire HD. The Facebook picture I
took with the device turned out up-
side down, even though the camera
was clearly meant to be at the top of
the device when held in landscape
mode. Amazon's representatives
said the camera was mainly for use
with a Skype app made for the
device.
People looking to buy a new
tablet might be able to overlook
these minor annoyances because of
the sharper screen.
Ultimately, the decision to buy a
Kindle Fire HD could be deter-
mined by the array of content that
comes with the device if you join
the $79 annual free-shipping pro-
gram known as Amazon Prime.
Amazon has made plenty of big
investments lately that make Prime
a more compelling offer On Tues-
day, it announced a deal with the
Epix pay TV channel that allows
Prime members to watch 2,000
movies like "The Avengers" and
"The Hunger Games" for free, on
top of some 23,000 movies and TV
shows it had already


Showers fall at N.Y Fashion Week


Associated Press


NEW YORK A flurry
of fashion assistants
rushed to protect racks of
clothes backstage at New
York Fashion Week from
Saturday's sudden down-
pours perhaps as potent
a reminder as any during
these spring previews that
seasons can be
temperamental.


Birthday: There are indications that the year ahead will
turn into a period of accelerated activity and travel for
you. This doesn't mean that you will necessarily be
trekking great distances, but you will be visiting multiple
places.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Even though you may keep
a low profile in a partnership arrangement, to your co-
hort's credit, whatever benefits are derived will be shared
equally. Make sure you are appreciative.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your best asset is likely to be
your ability to improve upon most anything, even things
that are already pretty darn good. It'll be those ingenious
touches that add new dimensions.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Many pleasant experi-
ences could be in store for you, mostly because you're
operating in a mode where others will feel compelled to
do nice things for you in return for your kindness.


Maybe that's why leather
is as common in these pre-
views for spring and sum-
mer 2013 as the pops of
color and chiffon you might
expect.
"You can wear those
leather jackets all year
long," said stylist June Am-
brose. "They're sleek
enough to go under a parka
or a vest and buttery enough
for spring."


Designers have been mov-
ing away from seasonal
dressing, meaning models at
Rag & Bone endured layers
of leather in a roasting, un-
air conditioned preview
Friday
"I'm not designing specifi-
cally for 'the show' or even
for spring," said Tom Mora of
J. Crew, which has a preview
Tuesday "We have deliver-
ies once a month and we al-


Today's HOROSCOPE
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try to put an arrange-
ment together where you can function as the host or
hostess. You'd be superb in this role, so give your talent
a chance to shine.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you desire to give a
gift to someone who is very special in your eyes, remem-
ber that it's the thought behind the present that makes
the most impact. Select accordingly.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Material aspects look to
be favoring you at this point in time, with savory perks
coming your way via business contacts.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Don't fret if someone in
your group tries to usurp the role you've been accus-
tomed to playing. This person won't get very far, but he or
she may inadvertently make you look better.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Lucky you, because quite a
few good friends might each do a special favor for you. Yet

ion crowd heads for Lon-
don, Milan and Paris.


none of them will want what they do broadcast to others.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Someone you recently met
has been waiting for a signal regarding your intentions. If
you really care, let it be known. If not, don't string him or
her along any longer.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) You stand your best
chances for success in an area where you are unselfishly
motivated to invest your time. Try to rise above your own
petty perspective.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) If there is anyone who can
infuse a spirit of warmth into a social situation, it's you.
I'm sure all of your friends would agree that you're the
primary candidate for such a job.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You'll work hard to make sure
that your partners in a group endeavor come out as well
as you. Your efforts won't be in vain, nor will they go un-
rewarded.

In 1926, the National

beginning a siege that ended
up claiming 43 lives.
In 1997, Sinn Fein, the
IRA's political ally, formally re-
nounced violence as it took

the "Big O," as we scur-

offered commentary, but
he probably couldn't hear

It might have been only

in the shoreline grass of
Lake Clinch in Frost-

earthworms on bass beds
and caught only those
small enough that they
did not break our cane
poles. It was a family out-

Help give Florida some CPR


K.C. NAYFIELD
Special to the Chronicle
I turned 60 years old this year. As
a native, it means I have spent
six decades in Florida. I have
seen a lot of change.
I grew up on a lake in a small
town in Central Florida. My mother
said that I learned to swim before I
learned to walk. I have since spent
the better portions of my life swim-
ming, water skiing, surfing, fishing,
scuba diving, boating and, most re-
cently, canoeing. Florida's water re-
sources have been a huge part of
my life. Perhaps this is why I am so
saddened to see them disappearing
at an alarming rate.
If you haven't noticed the decline
in water quantity and quality in the
state, then you probably just haven't
lived here long enough. The recent
drought could not state it any clearer
- Florida is running out of water.
Our lakes are dwindling away
and our rivers and springs are dra-
matically reduced in flow Saltwa-
ter intrusion is evident in many
coastal communities. Our estuary
systems have suffered as well, re-


sulting in huge declines in fish and
shellfish populations.
We have filled in hundreds of
thousands of wetlands and built
causeways over estuaries. We have
paved thousands of miles of roads
and built thousands upon thou-
sands of houses and buildings. All
of this has led to an increase in
water consumption and a decrease
in aquifer recharge, resulting in a
low aquifer level. More evidence of
this lies in the large numbers of
sinkholes that have been forming in
the recent past.
The reality is that there is not just
one single major factor that has cre-
ated the problem. It has been a
number of minimal-effect occur-
rences that have combined to have
a maximal effect.
Although Florida will never be
the paradise of my youth, I feel that
we can reverse many of these
changes and help save our dying
natural water resources. It is time
to give Florida some CPR. That is
conservation, preservation and
restoration.
Conservation of water is the eas-
iest and quickest beneficial prac-


tice. We all can help by adopting a
new water ethic by realizing that
water is the most precious com-
modity that we possess.
We can do simple things like fix-
ing leaking plumbing and limiting
shower time. We can plant Florida
Friendly landscaping and use rain
barrels to collect water to water our
plants. We can encourage water
reuse projects for golf courses. We
can urge commercial and agricul-
tural entities to use best manage-
ment practices with regard to water
usage. Some of us may even give up
our lush green lawns or at least fol-
low watering restrictions.
Conservation of energy also re-
sults in conservation of water. It
takes a lot of water to generate
power. We can cut back on our use
even by just turning off lights when
not in use.
Preservation of water recharge
areas is vital. Unfortunately, the
funds for Florida Forever were
taken from the state budget. There
is, however, a move to pass a consti-
tutional amendment to provide

Citrus County's FQHC license best kept public


JEFFERY KINNARD
Special to the Chronicle
I read, with interest, Mike
Wright's article in last
Sunday's paper, regard-
ing the Federally Qualified
Health Center (FQHC) li-
cense held by the Citrus
County Health Department.
Being the owner of a pri-
vate chiropractic clinic, and
also provider of chiropractic
services at the Citrus County
Health Department, pro-
vides me with a unique per-
spective in this discussion.


I agree with Mike Bays, in
that this FQHC license is
one of the best things in
medicine for delivering
health care services to the
uninsured, and underin-
sured, for the communities
they serve. I also agree with
County Administrator Brad
Thorpe that private clinics
can operate with greater
flexibility.
Where I'm a bit con-
cerned, and somewhat
skeptical, is that it seems
there has been a significant
effort to move in a "privati-


zation direction" before ac-
tually trying to identify any
problems that exist at the
health department, and cor-
rect them.
A day spent at any of the
health department clinics
would reveal that the doc-
tors, nurses, and support
staff are there for a purpose
greater than their pay; they
truly have a heart for the
people they serve. If there
are shortcomings in the de-
livery of health care serv-
ices to the uninsured and
underinsured in Citrus


County, it is my opinion that
the problems lie in proce-
dures rather than the per-
sonnel. If we have problems
in the procedures, let's work
at correcting those, and not
throw the proverbial baby
out with the bath water.
Because of the extraordi-
nary efforts of Teresa Good-
man, and her predecessor
Mary Beth Nayfield, our
county health department
has an FQHC license/desig-
nation that gives them ac-
cess to increased state and
federal dollars, as well as


millions of dollars in grant
monies, to provide care for
the citizens of Citrus County.
Their efforts should be sup-
ported, and current proce-
dures critiqued, including
input from informed indi-
viduals such as Mr. Bays, to
improve the way that the
county health department
delivers health care
services.
An FQHC license is worth
a tremendous amount of
money to the license holder.

Watch out

for fast-

growing

trees
Swent to lunch the
other day and ran into
a tree.
My story is that the tree
was not behind my car
when I parked it at the
Highlander Cafe on Citrus
Avenue in Crystal River.
When I got back into the
vehicle, the tree had
miraculously grown 25
feet tall and positioned it-
self so my left rear
bumper would take a di-
rect hit. When the bumper
hit the virgin tree, the con-
tents of the cup of hot cof-
fee in my right hand flew
into the sky, bounced off
the interior roof and
landed in my lap.
There is never a good
place for hot coffee to
land once it exits its as-
signed container, but
landing in the lap of a
male driver who has just
slammed his vehicle into
a tree that did not exist a
mere 60 minutes ago is
a particularly bad
conclusion.
I said many bad words
that cannot be printed in
the newspaper.
Did I mention this was
all taking place during
one of our Florida after-
noon thunderstorms?
Well, it did.
To escape the scalding
coffee that was pooling in
my seat, I jumped from
the vehicle into a blinding
rain storm.
While the cool Florida
rain was helping soothe
the coffee-induced burn-
ing on important parts of
my anatomy, a burst of
lightning quickly con-
vinced me that standing in
2 inches of water under a
large tree that had just
sprouted during the last
60 minutes was also not a
good idea.
For safety's sake, I knew
I needed to jump back
into my now-dented vehi-
cle with the coffee pooling
in the driver's seat. My
goal was to reach the pas-
senger's seat.
Did I mention that I also
purchased a sticky bun
with my coffee from the
nice folks at the High-
lander Cafe? They make
very nice desserts at the
Highlander Cafe.
Now soaking wet, hold-
ing the scalded area of my
anatomy, still saying very
bad words that cannot be
printed in a family news-
paper, I dove over the dri-
ver's seat and landed

Almost every government
agency in the country is
looking at budget cuts
this coming year because our
economy remains stalled and
citizens are in no mood to pay


additional taxes.
Citrus Memorial
Health System in
Inverness, as a
public hospital, is
one of those enti-
ties that must con-
tinue to reduce its
budget to find a
balance. CMHS is
facing an even
greater crisis be-

cause its own governing board
has abandoned its fiduciary re-
sponsibility and no longer
makes tax dollars available for
the operation of the hospital.
This past week, the Chroni-
cle reported that one of the op-
tions the hospital board will
consider is closing the Sug-
armill Woods clinic. While
every option has to be on the
table for the hospital's founda-
tion board to consider, it may
be a little early to give up on
the effort to provide clinic
service to the southwest por-
tion of the county.
The county hospital is facing
a $9 million deficit, so there
can't really be any sacred cows;
but serving the southwest re-
gion of the county is an impor-
tant strategy for the public
hospital.
The more critical task at
hand is for our county hospital
to settle its governance issue
and resolve to move forward in
cooperation with local physi-
cians. Gov. Rick Scott can help
us find consensus by moving
forward and making the final
two appointments to the gov-
erning board. Once that's com-
plete, the two feuding boards
should be able to settle the
dispute.
Gov. Scott is not a fan of using

In today's paper was a com-

tor of the Chronicle said that was
a grant. A grant from whom? The
sidewalks on (State Road) 44

from the government. I
suspect the iPads were 0
also a grant from the gov-
ernment. That's not free

produces better quality and

not what's happening with
health care in Citrus County.
The lack of a working rela-

public hospital has resulted in
unnecessary conflict and strife.
Hospital employees are not

Pigskin progressivism


With two extravagant enter-
tainments under way, it is
instructive to note the
connection between the presiden-
tial election and the college foot-
ball season: Barack Obama
represents progres-
sivism, a doctrine whose
many blemishes on
American life include
universities as football
factories, which pro- ri m
gressivism helped to
create. /
Higher education em- r
braced athletics in the ,
first half of the 19th cen-
tury, when most colleges Geor
were denominational OTI
and most instruction
was considered mental VOI

other professionals. Physical edu-
cation had nothing to do with spec-
tator sports entertaining people

The collective activity of team
sports came after a great collective
exertion, the Civil War, and two
great social changes, urbanization
and industrialization. This story is
told well in "The Rise of Gridiron
University: Higher Education's
Uneasy Alliance with Big-Time
Football" (University Press of
Kansas) by Brian M. Ingrassia, a
Middle Tennessee State University
historian.
Intercollegiate football began
when Rutgers played Princeton in
1869, four years after Appomattox.
In 1878, one of Princeton's two un-
dergraduate student managers
was Thomas he was called
Tommy Woodrow Wilson. For
the rest of the 19th century, football
appealed as a venue for valor for
collegians whose fathers' venues
had been battlefields. Stephen
Crane, author of the Civil War
novel "The Red Badge of Courage"


g
I


(1895) the badge was a wound -
said: "Of course, I have never been
in a battle, but I believe that I got
my sense of the rage of conflict on
the football field."
Harvard philosopher William
James then spoke of so-
ciety finding new
sources of discipline
and inspiration in "the
moral equivalent of
war." Society found
football, which like war
. "required the subordi-
nation of the individ-
ual, and which would
relieve the supposed
,e Will monotony of workers
IER enmeshed in mass
production.
CES College football be-
came a national phe-
nomenon because it supposedly
served the values ofprogressivism,
in two ways. It exemplified spe-
cialization, expertise and scientific
management And it would recon-
cile the public to the transforma-
tion of universities, especially
public universities, into something
progressivism desired but the pub-
lic found alien. Replicating indus-
trialism's division of labor,
universities introduced the frag-
mentation of the old curriculum of
moral instruction into increasingly
specialized and arcane disciplines.
These included the recently
founded social sciences eco-
nomics, sociology, political science
that were supposed to supply
progressive governments with the
expertise to manage the complex-
ities of the modem economy and
the simplicities of the uninstructed
masses.
Football taught the progressive
virtue of subordinating the indi-
vidual to the collectivity Inevitably,
this led to the cult of one individ-
ual, the coach. Today, in almost
every state, at least one public uni-
versity football coach is paid more
than the governor
As universities multiplied, foot-
ball fueled the competition for
prestige and other scarce re-
sources. Shortly after it was


founded, the University of Chicago
hired as football coach the nation's
first tenured professor of physical
culture and athletics, Amos Alonzo
Stagg, who had played at Yale for
Walter Camp, an early shaper of
the rules and structure of intercol-
legiate football. Camp also was
president of the New Haven Clock
Co. Clocks were emblematic of
modernity workers punching
time clocks, time-and-motion effi-
ciency studies. Camp saw football
as basic training for the manage-
rial elites demanded by
corporations.
Progressives saw football as
training managers for the modem
regulatory state. Ingrassia says a
Yale professor, the Social Darwin-
ist William Graham Sumner (who
was Camp's brother-in-law), pro-
duced one academic acolyte who
thought the "English race" was es-
tablishing hegemony because it
played the "sturdiest" sports.
Reinforced concrete and other
advancements in construction
were put to use building huge sta-
diums to bring the public onto
campuses that, to many, seemed in-
creasingly unintelligible. Ingrassia
says "Harvard Stadium was the
prototype" for dozens of early 20th
century stadiums. In 1914, the in-
augural game in the Yale Bowl
drew 70,055 spectators. The Ala-
bama, LSU and Southern Califor-
nia football programs are the
children of Harvard's, Yale's and
Princeton's.
"It's kind of hard," said Al-
abama's Bear Bryant, "to rally
'round a math class." And today
college football is said to give vast,
fragmented universities a sense of
community through shared ritual.
In this year's first "game of the cen-
tury," Alabama's student-athletes
played those from Michigan in
Cowboys Stadium in Arlington,
Texas, which is 605 miles and 1,191
miles from Tuscaloosa and Ann
Arbor, respectively

Wait for port study
In response to the article, "Port
Citrus hard to chart" published
Sept 4, the prospects for Port Cit-
rus will be studied in the coming
months by nationally renowned
port experts, and it is too soon to
start questioning the merits of the
port before all the data is ana-
lyzed. Although speculation is to
be expected, Port Citrus is work-
ing hard to make sure that all po-
tential business opportunities are
included in the feasibility study.
Port Citrus already has several
advantages that ports seek, such
as the availability of land sur-
rounding the port for manufac-
turing and other business
development, and proximity to
developing intermodal logistics
centers such as the Ocala/Mar-
ion Commerce Park. In addition,
the Port Study area extends be-
yond the existing port property
- encompassing the Progress
Energy/Duke area. This could be
an important factor in determin-
ing what cargoes and ships could
use Port Citrus.
Simply put, the facts about the
opportunities for Port Citrus are

smeared with tooth paste, but I've
never, ever used Cheryl's tooth-
brush! Not only that, she is not
welcome to use mine. If it is ever
necessary, I'll walk two miles, one
way, to buy one for her, but she
can't use mine!
She once wore my clothes when
we arrived in Athens, Greece, and
her suitcase didn't, but thank
goodness, her toothbrush was in
her carry-on! I've not yet needed
to wear her clothes, but I could do
that. I'd probably get some strange
looks. Even so, I could do it but
I won't use her toothbrush!
I really thought the only totally
un-sharable thing for us was the
toothbrush, but a few days ago, I
came out of the shower, grabbed a
towel and while drying my face, I


fumbled around on the counter-
top for my glasses and put them
on. I couldn't see. I quickly
washed the lenses, dried them,
put the glasses back on, but still
couldn't see!
My immediate thought was, "Oh,
no! I've gone blind!"
That's when Cheryl came in,
looked at me and said, "What are
you doing wearing my glasses?"
My mistake.
There are two things I'm now
certain my Cheryl and I cannot
share our toothbrushes and our
eyeglasses!

The growth of our Citrus County Bless-
ings program the backpack program -
from one school serving 50 children in 2009
to 10 schools serving up to 1,000 children
for the 2012-13 school year, precipitated the
need for change in our board makeup. Our
greatest strength continues to be the fact
that we are an all-volunteer network of in-
dividuals, civic organizations, faith com-
munities, and businesses serving and
facilitating the feeding of those in need in
our community. Our success is a result of
over 200 volunteers working with us to en-
sure the job of feeding hungry children is
paramount to anything else we do.
To that end, the largest expense we have
is food for our Blessings program. That ac-
counts for 84 percent of our budget. The re-
maining 16 percent is spent in operating
our program and outfitting our pantry sites.
Our sources of funding leave us in a very
well balanced position.
So why am I giving you all of this infor-
mation? Two reasons come to mind. As we
begin our 2012-13 school year in partner-


The second reason is to inform you of our
outcomes. We ask each participating
school, after students have been in the pro-
gram for one full school year, to give us
feedback in the areas of behavior, atten-
dance, guided reading levels and FCAT
scores. We are pleased to report that after
seeing the results, we know that our Bless-
ings program is a positive piece of the pie
when it comes to student learning.
While we recognize we are a very small
part of the child's learning process, we
know that coming to school with food in
your tummy is a good beginning for many
who would otherwise come to school on
Monday very hungry
We applaud our educators and we tip our
hats to all those who have helped make our
program successful. After all, everyone de-
serves an equal starting point.
Thank you for your support and we ask
you to continue your benevolence toward
our Blessings program in any way that you
can. Our board recognized very early that
we can only focus on the need, not the
cause. We provide food to hungry children
who during the school week are on the free
or reduced meal program. We cannot fix
the environments from which these chil-
dren start their day Our focus is simple and
unwavering: Silencing weekend hunger!

Sound OFF


Dedicated to Biden
Yesterday while driving in
Tampa, I noticed a clever
food sign that said, "Hi, Joe,
welcome to North Car-
olina." Of course I realized
the sign was dedicated to
Obama's right-hand man
and our esteemed and bril-
liant Vice President Joe
Biden.
Poor opinions
I see Cokie and Steven
Roberts is back in the paper
telling what they want to
talk about. They are the
most prejudiced people
going. They are for the De-
mocrats and not for the Re-
publicans. Shame, shame,
shame on you. Once again
you're back in the paper and
you're doing the same thing;
defending the Democrats
and not the Republicans.
Off the sidewalk
This is a big joke and
maybe the people would
like to have a laugh this
morning. On Aug. 29 I was
traveling toward Inverness
and I saw a person, a man,
walking toward Inverness.
And I would just like to say
he was walking in the dirt.
He wasn't walking not even
on the sidewalk that you all,
you know, just put in. I think
that's a good joke.
Which Winter?
The day trip to the Albin
Polasek Museum sounds
like a lovely trip. I think,
though, that you should
clarify; is it in Winter Gar-
den or is it in Winter Park?
Please make some sort of
clarification on this. Would
be very confusing to get to


one place and not find it.
Editor's note: The mu-
seum is in Winter Park.
Filthy talk
Thank you for the person
who called in about the vul-
gar talk. It's everywhere. I
had my grandkids here for
the summer and I have to
be careful where I take them
in public, because people
just use the filthiest lan-
guage and don't even care
that they're around your
children or grandchildren.
People think that everybody
talks like that, evidently, be-
cause they sure don't mind
talking like that around any-
body and anything.
Good letters
I am an avid reader of
those intelligent and reason-
able letters by Mr. William C.
Young of Crystal River. I
wanted to call him and thank
him for those letters, but his
phone number is unlisted for
obvious reasons. I hope he
sees this Sound Off and
knows that there are lots of
people like me that agree
with him about most every
letter he has ever written.
Thank you, William C. Young.
Good doctor, staff
Thanks so much, Dr. Topa
and Nicole and the girls.
How nice they are. Kind of
people I really care about.
Love animals and are so
kind. God bless them. Peo-
ple like them, we should
have more of. Thanks.
Waste of money
Just think how many chil-
dren could have been helped
in school for the money
that's being wasted on the


Republican National Conven-
tion. It's a sad situation in
this country to throw the
money away like that. These
kids are starving for food and
lacking the tools in order to
get a better education.

Fines and permits
Well, folks, there it is (on)
Monday morning (Sept. 3),
"Watering fines." They're
going to fine us for using too
much water and somebody is
going to let some company
come in and drain our
aquifer for profit. We must do
something. Everybody needs
to call their county commis-
sioner. We need to do some-
thing about this now.

Deserve raise
In regards to the article
about hospital budget cuts:
I can't believe Ryan Beaty
has the nerve to even think
about not giving employee
raises. These are the very
people who work every day
taking care of the citizens
of our county. Most of the
time they are working un-
derstaffed, regardless of
what they say. If they
weren't doing their job,
there would be no reason
for the ridiculous raise to re-
tirement fund for Mr. Beaty.
A lower census? Really? This
has been the busiest sum-
mer I can remember. No
beds available on floors. Ad-
mitted patients in the ER
bed for hours because the
hospital is full, which adds
to ER wait times because
then beds become an issue
for them. Mr. Beaty, there
should be no doubt in your
mind the employees need
and deserve a raise.


Honoring our grandparents' wisdom


Today is Grandparents Day, sp(
cally dedicated to give wel
served honor to that stage of
when perspective is so valuable bec
of the treasury of history that most o
grandss" possess.
Who among us has not bene-
fited from the attention of an
elder in our life either a
blood relative, family friend, or
neighbor? And as we are learn-
ing, today's grandparents are
healthier, more active, involved
and energized than anytime in
human history

down in sorrow.
"Ask him," replied Minnie. "The truth
might hurt, but not knowing is no good ei-
ther. If he lies, you will likely know it at
least he'll know you don't be-
lieve the stories, and you're
putting your foot down. Morris
should know you care enough
to learn the truth. If he won't
tell you, then cross that bridge
later."
Minnie was not a creden-
tialed counselor, of course. She
was a kitchen table connector
evine with Old Country smarts and a
keen sense of justice.
EST Her role was to gather "the
JMN girls," hear their news, and
-- give each one a special word of
wisdom. She believed in teamwork. "Try
picking up a big table by yourself- im-
possible. Everybody take hold of a corner
... up it goes."
Minnie organized people as naturally as
she baked. And with the same system. No
formal recipe -just good ingredients and
the right way of mixing. Whether it was a
special dinner celebration, taking up a
collection to help a sick friend to the hos-
pital, or taking in a family who lost their
apartment, Minnie made the plan.
For Minnie, solving a problem wasn't re-
ally too complicated. Get people together,
find out what's going on, think of ways to
work it out, and get started. If you have to
change direction ... so change direction!
Not acting was Minnie's pet peeve.
"You'll wait a long time with your mouth
open before a roasted chicken will fly in"
was one of her favorite sayings. Whether
it was attending to a private family matter
or exercising her cherished right to vote,
Minnie believed that knowing, feeling and
wishing are not enough to
ng us has solve a problem. She be-
lieved in getting the job
ited from done.
We all had our own
tion of an childhood helpmates, peo-
ple who were there when
our life? we needed them, opening
their ears to our plans, and
their hearts to our problems.
If not a close family member, maybe a
neighbor, a teacher, a cleric or another
mentor. I know that each of us had some of
those special relationships which helped
build our confidence, shape our attitudes,
inspire us to achieve, and pave our paths
to adulthood.
My Grandma Minnie was such a person
for me. I am convinced my passion for ad-
vocacy was, in part, nurtured at her
kitchen table, listening to her wise coun-
sel and seeing her act in subtle but strong
ways to get others moving forward.
Please take a moment to think of that
special older person in your childhood
whose influence moved you in the right di-
rection. Consider what that powerful pres-
ence was, and how it helped guide who
you are today

Everyone is entitled to debate

agriculture is a fundamental com-

is no credible argument that denies
the ag industry's use of the lion's

nutrient pollution to our waters.
Furthermore, nutrients are not the

HOMOSASSA Exactly 28
years to the date after Crystal
Chevrolet first opened its doors
in 1984, the notable local com-
pany moved into its fresh, up-
dated showroom on U.S. 19 in
Homosassa.
It wasn't planned to make the
shift June 18, insisted Steve
Lamb, owner of Crystal Motor
Car Company Inc.
"It was just one of those freaks
of nature," he said with a hearty
laugh.
In December, the old Crystal
Chevrolet showroom was demol-
ished to make room for a new
state-of-the-art facility. The re-
modeling was done as part of an
upgrade and to conform to
Chevrolet's new image standards.
After the demolition was com-
pleted and the land cleared, con-
struction on the new building
began in January
Lamb admits seeing the build-
ing where he and his wife, Jewel,
got their humble start taken apart
was bittersweet
Jewel Lamb, however, said she
understood the need for change.
Through the years with changes
in technology and as their busi-
ness continues to grow, she said


The new Crystal Chevrolet is a shining building and was built to comply with other Chevrolet dealerships
across the country.


she knew the new showroom
would allow them to be more in-
novative as a company.
In the end, Lamb said, a person
shouldn't try to stop progress.
Settled in their new surround-
ings, Lamb touted how efficient
the building is. For example, he
said, the building is "greener"
than the previous one.
"We've seen a 70 percent drop
in our electric bill," he said.
It's also more customer-
friendly and employee-friendly
One of the major changes,
Lamb said, happened in the serv-


ice area, where employees now
have quick, direct access to the
service lane and the waiting room
to serve customers better More-
over, the waiting room itself is
four times bigger. And the parts
department is larger, too.
"We are tickled to death," he
said.
With an added 1,700 square feet
of space and 47 feet of additional
width, Lamb said the building has
more of presence from U.S. 19.
There is more covered show-
room space, which is great when
it comes to Florida's unpre-


dictable weather.
In total, the project cost $2 mil-
lion, though Lamb said General
Motors paid the "lion's share" of it
Since moving into the new
building, Jewel Lamb said the re-
action from customers has been
mixed. Some like the old building
and some like the new one.
But Lamb contends it doesn't
matter whether someone has the
fanciest building or product; what
it boils down to is giving their cus-
tomers the best service possible.
"People make the place," he
said.


Take a long-term view of unemployment rate


We hear so much about the
unemployment rate nowa-
days. It's unavoidable, and
understandable. High unemploy-
ment can weigh down our economy,
so it makes sense we'd step on the
scale, so to speak, to gauge our
progress.
You may already sense
where this analogy is
going; anyone who is
watching their weight un-
derstands stepping on a
scale every day can be
discouraging down a
pound one day, up two /'
pounds the next. True,
lasting weight loss, we
know, is a slow slog. Laura
When it comes to our WORK
fluctuating employment CONNI
numbers, I'm not suggest-
ing it's the yo-yoing data
that's the problem. Rather, it's the
tendency to rely on a given number
at any given point in time as the sole
measure of our success. Every
slight bobble in the wrong direction
is cause for gloom-and-doom; when
the needle moves downward, we
hold our breath.
It may be time to exhale. At least
a little.
But first we've got to acknowledge
our unemployment rate is not
where we want or need it to be. In

July, the month for which the most
recent data is available, Citrus
County's unemployment rate was
10.8 percent; out of a labor force of
55,664, 5,988 people were without
jobs. Add fact that, in April, the rate
had dropped below double digits
for the first time since
November 2008.
Given all that, it seems
hard to make the case for
improvement, doesn't it?
But we know better, be-
cause we are doing bet-
ter Throughout our
workforce region, we're
averaging nearly 800 job
placements each month
Byrnes and the number of em-
FORCE players with open job or-
-CTION ders in July has
increased nearly 60 per-
cent during the year,
from 345 to 549.
In Citrus County during the past
fiscal year, Workforce Connection
provided services to 841 employers,
providing recruitment assistance,
training grants and financial incen-
tives and workforce intelligence.
Traffic at our one-stop Resource
Center in Inverness topped 16,400
and we assisted more than 11,000
jobs seekers with such services as
online job listings and referrals, r6-
sum6 writing assistance, employa-


ability workshops, career and wage
information, job search resources
and equipment, and one-on-one ca-
reer counseling. More important,
there were 1,363 job placements.
If that's true, you may well ask,
why did our unemployment rate
start climbing back up in June after
four months of steady decline and
stability? Simply put, monthly em-
ployment and unemployment rates
at state and local levels may have
sharp fluctuations due to seasonal
events that follow a fairly regular
pattern each year. Such events in-
clude tourism, agricultural har-
vests, holidays and the opening and
closings of schools.
In July, 66 counties of Florida's 67
counties had over-the-month in-
creases in unemployment rates, yet
all 67 had declines in unemploy-
ment rates over the year.
That's key, because when it comes
to gauging true, lasting economic
progress, Rebecca Rust, Florida's
chief economist, tells us we must
take the long view.
"What's most important is looking
at long-term trends versus month-
to-month changes. Long-term
trends do track- if unemployment
goes down, jobs will go up. Month-
to-month, it's not going to track
every month."
So how well do we track? In July


2011, Citrus County's unemploy-
ment rate was 12.4 percent, with
6,989 jobless. And the year before, it
was 13 percent with 7,374 out of
work. Today, the unemployment
rate has dropped 2.2 percent from
2010 and 1,386 fewer people were
out of work.
Certainly not where we want to
be, but as Workforce Connection's
Board Chair Darlene Goddard put
it, "we're already getting there."
Ms. Goddard, who is also execu-
tive director of human resources for
Winco Manufacturing in Ocala, said
recently she sees signs of "brick and
mortar" investment that indicate
the economy is gaining momentum.
"It's not just health care, it's man-
ufacturing," she said. "It's coming
back. You don't spend money unless
it is. We're doing a lot better this
year than last year and we did bet-
ter last year than the year before."
The goal, of course, is to continue
to work together to help make next
year even better.

Teen

DEAR BRUCE: I am
a 60-year-old
woman, and I have
had guardianship of a
child since she was in dia-
pers. Now, 16 years later,
she is driving, and be-
cause she is, I've added
her to my insurance pol-
icy Holy cow! My rates
went to the moon.
I knew they would go
up, but not like this. I live
paycheck to paycheck, and
this is killing me finan-
cially She is an absolute
joy, and I would hate to de-
prive her of this activity.
I recently found out that
if I had waited a couple of
years until she was 18, the
rates would not have been
so outrageous, but it's too
late now. Any thoughts? -
T.R, via email
DEAR T.R: One prob-
lem is that even if you de-
cide to not let your teen
drive your vehicle, the in-
surance company now
knows she's in your
household and has a dri-
ver's license. It likely
would take the position
that she is a potential
driver and would set your
premium accordingly
You might ask the insur-
ance company if there's
anything your teen can do
to reduce the premium,
such as taking a driver's
education course or addi-
tional private driving
classes. Often the com-
pany will give you a credit.
Another thing you can
do is to have her get a job
and pay part or all of the
increase in the premium.
She's old enough to get a
job, and since she wants to
drive, she can certainly
help out This would not be
unreasonable and would
be a good lesson for her
DEAR BRUCE: My son,
who is a sophomore in col-
lege, has a good chunk of
money in savings. In fact,
he has enough money
saved to pay for the col-
lege that he's attending,
yet he has insisted on tak-
ing out student loans.
He and I argue about
this all the time. I don't
want him to have this
debt He says there's noth-
ing wrong with borrowing
the money and investing
it, and since there is no in-
terest, whatever he earns
is just gravy
I think he is doing
something illegal. Am I
wrong? Concerned
Mother, via email
DEAR CONCERNED
MOTHER: Your son is not
the first to do what you de-
scribe. Is there anything
improper here? That de-
pends on whether he an-
swered all questions
truthfully in the loan doc-
uments he signed.
You say whatever he
earns is "gravy." On the
other hand, if he loses
money on his investments,
the gravy goes and he has
to pay back this loan when
the time comes from some
other source.
The fact your son has
saved money says a good
deal about him.

shipping plant in 1944. Now
under the management of
Dudley Calfee, Ferris Farms

fresh citrus, blueberries
and strawberries that are
sold both locally at their
landmark vintage-style pro-
duce store, and regionally to
retail outlets. Ferris Groves
is much more than just fruit
- it is a vital part of the Flo-
ral City community
Through Dudley's efforts, a
paved path connecting the
produce store to the Withla-
coochee State Trail offers
easy access for a cool rest
stop to bikers and walkers.

Attention Consumers!
Please make sure you
are using a licensed
and insured service
professional. Many
service advertisers are
required by state law
to include their state
license number in all
advertisements. If you
don't see a license
number in the ad, you
should inquire about it
and be suspicious that
you may be contact-
ing an unlicensed
business. The Citrus
County Chronicle
wants to ensure that
our ads meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Beware of any service
advertiser that can not
provide proof that
they are licensed to do
business. For questions
about business
licensing, please call
your city or county gov-
ernment offices.

Frugal tricks to freshen the air in your home


A ir freshen-
ers smell
reat, but
they only mask
odors. To really
rid the air of
smells in your
home, open the
windows and let
the fresh air in.
Bring in house-
plants, keep Sara
things clean, re- FRU
move smelly LIV
shoes and empty
trash daily. If you enjoy
scents, you can combine a
few drops of essential oil
and water in a spray bottle
and use as a room mist. Sim-
mer natural items such as
apple and citrus peels, cin-
namon or fresh mint leaves
and water in a slow cooker

The following
suggestions can

Noel c r o w a v e :
GAL Microwaves get
ING dirty and smelly.
They can be a
pain to keep clean if you
don't clean them immedi-
ately after splatters or spills.
To clean your microwave
with ease, simply combine a
couple of tablespoons of
lemon juice and 1 cup water
(or 1/2 cup white distilled
vinegar and 1/2 cup water)


in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add a wooden spoon to the
bowl to prevent super-heat-
ing. Cook on high for three
to five minutes or until
steam condenses. Wipe
down the interior of the mi-
crowave with a cloth. If any
smell remains, repeat the
lemon and water procedure,
but add a couple of cloves to
the mixture.
Castile soap: Dilute and
spray on counters or floors.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Plant spotlight: Beautyberry


utumn in Florida may not have
the vibrant reds, oranges and yel-
lows of "up North," but that does-
n't mean that we have to miss out on fall
color altogether Red maple, sweetgum,
crape myrtle, dogwood, winged sumac
and oakleaf hydrangea all
exhibit fall color, but the
most remarkable fall color y
for this area is the brilliant
purple of beautyberries. B
American beautyberry '"
(Callicarpa americana) is a -
native deciduous shrub that -
produces small lavender
flowers, followed by deep
purple berries that can last Audre
through winter There is also
a cultivated variety ofAmer- F1
ican beautyberry that pro-
duces white berries. The tiny berries
grow in densely packed groups around
the stems and are eaten by more than 40
bird species, including cardinals, wood-
peckers and mockingbirds.
Beautyberry has an open, "sprawl-
ing" growth habit and large leaves. It
grows 4 to 8 feet tall.
Beautyberry grows best in full sun to
partial shade areas, with an acidic to
slightly alkaline soil pH. While beau-
tyberry prefers rich soils, it also grows


I


in poor, sandy soils and can be seen
growing naturally along roadsides and
in other natural areas. Once this plant
is established, it is very drought-toler-
ant and low-maintenance. It has no
pests of major concern, although cater-
pillars may occasionally
Eschew the leaves.
Beautyberry's best feature
is that the leaves can be
crushed and rubbed on the
skin to repel mosquitoes and
some species of ticks. This
common Southern folk rem-
edy dating to the early 1900s
has been given scientific
Durr credence by the USDAAgri-
cultural Research Service.
N Beautyberry contains a com-
pound called callicarpenal,
which rivals chemicals such as DEET
in effectiveness. While the USDA re-
ports no human toxicity associated with
the leaves or berries, it is highly recom-
mended that a small patch of skin be
tested first for an allergic reaction.
Visit the Florida-friendly Learning
Landscape to see our beautyberry, as
well as many other Florida-friendly
plants. You can visit the garden any
day of the week from sunrise to sun-
set; it's behind the Citrus County


UF/IFAS Extension office at 3650 W
Sovereign Path, Lecanto.
To learn more about American
beautyberry and more than 370 other
Florida-friendly plants, visit
www.FloridaYards.org. By answering
a few simple questions about your
yard (sun exposure, soil moisture,
etc.), the interactive plant database se-
lects plants that will thrive in your
yard with minimal maintenance.

Dear John: Enclosed are the
pictures of a Victorian sofa I
would like to sell. It is roughly
81 inches long by 30 inches deep and
29 inches at the top of the back. I pur-
chased it about
10 to 12 years
ago for $1,200
then had it re-
covered in the '
white damask
fabric you see
now. It has been
used sparingly
and the wood
and fabric both John Sikorski
are in excellent SIKORSKI'S
condition. It has
compacted cot- ATTIC
ton as stuffing in

Dear PH.: Technically, the Victo-
rian era ended in 1901 when Queen
Victoria died. Some furniture manu-


facturers in the United States contin-
ued making the styles that were pop-
ular during the last quarter of the
19th century well into the 20th cen-
tury I think your sofa was manufac-
tured after World War I. Currently,
the style is out of fashion and it would
not sell for what you paid for it 10
years ago. It would be better kept
rather than sold.
Dear John: You have helped me a
couple of times in the last couple of
years regarding antiques I bought at
garage and estate sales. I read your
column every week and listen to your
radio program when I can catch it.
Still doing a good job!
My daughter's ex-husband worked

This "Victorian" sofa likely was
manufactured after World War I,
long after the Victorian era techni-
cally ended, although the style re-
mained popular for some
time. Currently, interest in the style
is very soft.

Lessons in bloom

School use gardens

as teaching toos

k-1 Associated Press

-DALLAS
i gathered d in the large garden
S.* -behind an elementary
school here, a group of
t kindergartners watched as their
4,,1 teacher snipped some basil, let
them smell the leaves, and then
'. did the same with oregano.
"We do a lot of smelling out
.-. there. Looking. Digging," the
teacher, LeaAnne Pillers, said.
She took her class to the garden
two or three times a week after it
opened last spring at Moss Haven
Elementary, and she's excited to
i get her new group out among the
-plants when school starts next
week.
One of their first lessons:
learning the five senses. "We'll be
able to do a lot with'What does it
look like? What does it feel like?'
Some of it we'll even be able to
taste," Pillers said.
Moss Haven's garden is among
S a growing number being planted
in schoolyards across the coun-
try It is part of an American
Heart Association initiative to get
kids to eat healthier. Along with
nutrition, school gardens also
can teach lessons about the envi-
ronment and science, teamwork,
math skills and leadership, pro-
ponents say
Pillers' kindergartners taste-
tested vegetables, measured gar-
den plots and investigated what
foods caterpillars like.
"The main thing that I really
like is citizenship that every-
body is taking responsibility,"
said Ashley Rich, who works with
teachers to develop curriculum
at the school. Over the summer,
she added, families from the
school have been taking turns
,each week caring for the garden.
She welcomes the chance for
hands-on learning, and thinks
students are getting the nutri-
tional message.
"If the children are involved in
growing the vegetables, then they

are interested in eating them,"
said Judith Collier-Reid, na-
tional consultant for the Dallas-
based American Heart
Association's Teaching Gardens
program, which has handed
grants to about 160 gardens
since kicking off last year. Its
mission is to help curb the na-
tion's childhood obesity
epidemic.
Cynthia Domenghini of the
Vermont-based National Gar-
dening Association said the
concept for school gardens has
been around a long time her
organization has been helping
to fund them for around 30
years but picked up speed
when first lady Michelle Obama
broke ground on an herb and
vegetable garden at the White


SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 E9


House in 2009.
"There's been an increase in
the number of organizations
promoting school gardening,"
said Domenghini. She said her
group doesn't keep a count of
gardens in schools, but that
about 1,300 youth programs in
schools, churches, libraries and
other places have registered
with it.
"Fruit and vegetable gardens
are probably most popular, but
some grow flowers," she said.
"We see all different types of
garden programs."
Todd LoFrese, assistant su-
perintendent for support serv-
ices for Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools in North Carolina,
said there's a gardening com-
ponent at nearly all of their 18
schools, ranging from a small
herb garden to support a culi-
nary program to a high school
with a student-run program
that donates produce to needy


families. A new elementary
school set to open next year has
been designed to include gar-
den plots, he said, and will have
a rainwater collection system
and a green roof with
vegetation.
"It's a good way to get fami-
lies involved and also the com-
munity involved," LoFrese said.
The gardens in his district
are funded in a variety of ways,
including donations, grants and
fundraising from parent
groups.
In the Houston area, the non-
profit Urban Harvest has
helped start more than 100
school gardens, training and
advising those who want to start
them and in some cases provid-
ing a garden educator to give
lessons. The organization aims
to promote nutrition and re-
spect for the environment, said
Carol Burton, its director of
youth gardening education.

conspicuous area to add scent and
absorb bad smells. Putting them in a
sachet works best, but you can use a
section of nylon pantyhose, too. If you
don't want to use coffee grounds, you
can use baking soda and a few drops
of essential oil instead. Place in a
mason jar and cover the mouth of the
jar with tulle, using the jar ring to
hold it on.
Closets: Hang a cedar block. Use
crumpled newspaper or baking soda
inside shoes, or pour kitty litter into a
spare sock and place it in the shoes.
Put the shoes outside periodically to
air out
Use soap bars: Open up a few cakes
of bath soap and put them in your
drawers to add scent Dryer sheets or
free perfume samples from maga-
zines will work, as well. Both can
help your bathroom smell nice, too.


In your vacuum: If you have a cen-
tral vacuum system, put several
drops of essential oil on a cotton ball
and put it in the vacuum receptacle
to fill a room with essential oil scent.
Trash cans: Sprinkle borax into
your trash can to prevent it from
smelling, or toss a dryer sheet into
the bottom. Speaking of dryer sheets,
put a sheet in a linen closet, a suit-
case when traveling, sneakers, the
trunk of your car, at the bottom of
your clothes hamper, in your vacuum
bag, tucked inside a toilet paper roll
or around the holder, etc., to keep
odors at bay

plants are inspected and
should be pest- and dis-
ease-free. Ask for a cer-
tificate if bringing plants
into Florida, or stop at the
agricultural inspection
station just inside the
state line.
Monard species may be
perennial or annual. Lo-
callym M. punctatais a
long-lived perennial that
grows 3 feet tall. It dies
down in winter and
sprouts up to form a
larger colony the next
spring. The fall flowers
are predominantly white-
flecked with purple. As
flowers age, they fade to
pink. Some can appear
creamy-yellowish colored.
Flowers have two lips and
are tubular. Flower sea-


son starts in August in full
sun but a bit later in part
shade. Some parts of a
colony will continue to
flower through to late
September.
The blossoms are a
nectar magnet for bees
and butterflies. Migrating
fall songbirds depend on
the seed for part of their
diet.
This Florida native
ranges from Zone 6 to 10.
Citrus County is in Zone 9.
Other species range north
to Zones 4 and 5. Most will
tolerate Zone 9 cold win-
ters and summers in hot
Zones 10. But combined
with the torrid humidity
in Central Florida, few
northern species can sur-
vive here, so they are not
readily available locally
Plants can be started
from seed sown in the fall.
Once the top growth has
dried, gardeners may dig


and a few times there-
after. It needs no irriga-
tion in winter or after
re-sprouting in spring.
Drought-tolerant Dot-
ted Horse Mint requires
no irrigation, pesticides
or fungicides to prosper in
the garden. It has few
problems with pests or in-
sects. Well-adapted to
local climate and soil con-
ditions, Dotted Horse
Mint is a welcome addi-
tion to the wildflower
