Shielding our innocents


Advocates:

Child safety

top priority

MIKE WRIGHT
Staff writer
"Can we honestly say that
we're doing enough to keep our
children all of them safe
from harm? ... If we're honest
with ourselves, the answer is
no. We're not doing enough. "-
President Barack Obama,
speaking at a prayer vigil in
Newtown, Conn., two days after
the Dec. 15 Sandy Hook Ele-
mentary School massacre.
ME.
Citrus County's little children
laugh, play, dream. They go to
school, learn to read and write,
and make hand puppets for
their moms and dads.
Youngsters evolve into
teenagers who become moody,
curious and opinionated. They
explore themselves and others,
garner relationships, evolve in
their own form of creativity
Some will draw, or sing, or play
quarterback on Friday nights in
the fall.
If all goes well, they grow up
with supportive teachers, loving
family and a strong sense of
right and wrong.
But are they safe?
Is harm lurking around each
corner? Harm from abusive par-
ents, drunken drivers, gun-toting
thugs or even classmates?
Are they victims of
circumstance?
Some children have mental-
health issues that make them
unruly, despondent, unpre-
dictable. Parents place hope on
a system designed to protect
their children from hurting
themselves or others.
And so the question, asked by
President Obama two days after
the slaughter of 20 children and
six educators at Sandy Hook El-
ementary School, remains: Are
we doing our best to keep chil-
dren the innocents free
from harm?

Tiffany Davenport, center, has recently become legal guardian of her brother Joey, 16, and sister Savanna, 14. The three siblings live to-
gether in a deed-restricted community that is home mainly to residents 60 years of age and older. The adults in the community have ral-
lied around the youngsters in the wake of a family tragedy.

IChildren pick up pieces after death of parents


NANCY KENNEDY
Staff writer
, On Aug. 1, 2012, the lives of
three children were radically
altered in an instant with the
tragic death of their parents.
Early that Wednesday morn-
ing, Joseph Davenport, 48, shot
and killed his estranged wife,
Deborah, 47, then killed him-
self, leaving the three children
Tiffany, now23; Joey, now 16;
and Savanna, 14 alone.
They're not alone, however.
In the wake of this tragedy, the


community has stepped in to
help raise these three young
people in a true example of the
proverb, "It takes a village to
raise a child."
MEN
One day this past summer,
someone called the sheriff's of-
fice to report a stranger in the
neighborhood.
Since their parents' deaths,
Tiffany, Joey and Savanna have
lived in their mother's two-
bedroom condo in a deed-
restricted housing area where
the average age of the residents


is older than 60.
Tiffany and Savanna were
out and Joey was at a football
game and came home earlier
than expected. When he discov-
ered he was locked out of the
house, he started pacing up and
down the street in front of the
house.
"The cops came, lights and
all," Tiffany said, laughing. "But
as soon as they saw his ID, they
knew, 'Oh, that's Tiffany's
brother.'"


Holocaust stories retold by holograms


Associated Press
LOS ANGELES For years,
Holocaust survivor Pinchus
Gutter has told the tragic story
of watching his parents and 10-
year-old twin sister herded into
a Nazi death camp's gas cham-
bers so quickly he had no time
to even say goodbye.
He was left instead with an
enduring image he has carried
with him through 70 years: that
of his sister vanishing into a sea
of people doomed to die.
Only this time the elderly,
balding man wasn't really there
as he recounted the horror of
the Holocaust to an audience
gathered in an auditorium at the


University of Southern Califor-
nia's School of Cinematic Arts.
It was the 80-year-old sur-
vivor's digital doppelganger,
dressed in a white shirt, dark
pants and matching vest, that
was doing the talking as it gazed
intently at its audience, some-
times tapping its feet as it
paused to consider a question.
Over the years, elderly Holo-
caust survivors like Gutter have
been leaving behind manu-
scripts and oral histories of
their lives, fearful that once
they are gone there will be no
one to explain the horror they
lived through or to challenge
the accounts of Holocaust de-
niers like Iranian President


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
For the past 18 months, a
group led by USC's Shoah
Foundation has been trying to
change that by creating three-
dimensional holograms of
nearly a dozen people who sur-
vived Nazi Germany's system-
atic extermination of 6 million
Jews during World War II.
Like the digital librarian por-
trayed by Orlando Jones in the
2002 movie "The Time Ma-

thoughts on how to avoid
having one of history's
darkest moments repeated.
Although people at this
week's event saw Gutter as
only a two-dimensional fig-
ure, he has been painstak-
ingly filmed for hours in
3-D and, perhaps as early as
next year according to
those involved in the proj-
ect, his hologram could be
talking face-to-face with
visitors at the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C.
Certainly it will be within
five years, said Stephen
Smith, the Shoah Founda-
tion's executive director,
and Paul Debevec, associ-
ate director of the univer-
sity's Institute for Creative
Technologies, which is cre-
ating the hologram pro-
ject's infrastructure.
"Having actually put it
together, it's clear this will
happen," said Debevec,
whose institute has part-
nered with Hollywood on
such films as "Avatar" and
"The Curious Case of Ben-
jamin Button," winning a
special Academy Award
for the latter
Indeed, it already has al-
most happened.
More than 15 years after
his death, rapper Tupac
Shakur made a 3-D holo-
gram-like appearance at
last year's Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival,
performing alongside a real
Snoop Dogg. Technically,
Shakur wasn't a hologram,
however, because his image
was projected onto a thin
screen that was all but in-
visible to the audience.
"This takes it one step
further as far as you won't
be projecting onto a screen,
you'll be projecting into
space," Smith said of the
project, called New Dimen-
sions in Testimony
It comes just in time, said
Rabbi Marvin Hier, direc-
tor of the Simon Wiesenthal
Center, which is dedicated
to keeping alive the history
of the Holocaust
"This generation is com-
ing to an end, unfortu-
nately," Hier said of

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Holocaust survivors, whose
average age is estimated at
79. "Within the next decade
or so there won't be many
survivors alive anywhere in
the world."
Given the prominence of
Holocaust deniers like
Iran's Ahmadinejad, Hier
said, it's crucial to record
survivors' accounts in a way
that future generations can
easily access and relate to.
"The Holocaust is well
documented, and we have
confessions of the major
war criminals," he said.
"But there's nothing like
the human witness who
can look you in the eye
and say, 'Look, this is what
happened to my husband.
This is what happened to
my children. This is what
happened to my
grandparents."'
Developing a technology
capable of that has been
painstakingly time consum-
ing. But in the past two
years, researchers say, it
has come together faster
than they once imagined.
To help in the effort, Gut-
ter had to sit under an
array of hot stage lights
and in front of a green
screen for hours at a time
over the course of five
days, answering some 500
questions about himself
and his experiences.
Research scientists at


Associated Press
University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies computer scientist
David Traum, left, interacts Jan. 29 with Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter, seen on a
"Virtual Survivor Visualization," at the USC campus in Los Angeles.


USC are still editing them
and working with voice-
recognition software so
that his hologram will not
only be able to tell his story
but recognize questions
and answer them suc-
cinctly Being able to do
that often required asking
as many as 50 follow-up
questions to one of the
original ones, Smith said.
While researchers have
found there is generally a


range of about 100 ques-
tions people ask survivors
of the Holocaust, if some-
one in the future comes up
with one Gutter's holo-
gram can't answer, it will
simply say so and refer
them to someone who
might know.
For the demonstration
shown this week, he sat be-
fore seven cameras. For the
final hologram, more than
20 will be placed at every


angle possible, so he will
appear to people standing
or sitting anywhere in the
audience just as he would if
he was really there.
No pepper screen will
be used to display his holo-
gram, as was the case with
Shakur. Instead, it will be
broadcast into open space,
allowing people to ap-
proach and interact with
the hologram just as they
would a real person.


Eventually, according to
Debevec and other re-
searchers, holograms
could come to have nu-
merous uses. Among them
would be teaching classes,
taking part in business
conferences and providing
expert opinion on subjects
when real people can't be
there to do so. They could
even be used as teaching
tools for people studying to
become therapists who
aren't quite ready to work
with a real, emotionally
troubled person.
For now, however, re-
searchers are working
strictly with Holocaust sur-
vivors, creating a list of
nine other people with the
help of the private group
Conscience Display, which
records survivors' stories
and suggested the project
Given that every person
interviewed has been 80 or
older, Smith said, it may
prove difficult to find sub-
jects with the stamina to
participate. Still, no one
approached so far has said
no to the idea.
Perhaps Gutter's digital
presence summed up the
reason for that best when
it was asked the other day
why he chose to take part.
It replied: "I tell my
story for the purpose of
improving humanity"

Princess for a day


Teens search for

prom dresses, feel

like Cinderella

ERYN WORTHINGTON
Staff writer
INVERNESS Every girl
who entered the doors had the
opportunity to look and feel
like a princess Saturday, in-
cluding 17-year-old Melissa
Manning.
"I had this picture in my
mind and this is the like the
epitome of it," Manning said in
excitement as she stared at the
prom dress she selected. "It
took about 10 minutes for me
realize that this was the one for
me."
An estimated 200 girls from
different Citrus County high
schools descended on Cin-
derella's Closet to make their
dreams come true. During the
free one-day event, teenage
girls hoped to find their
"dream" prom dress from the
1,092 dresses available. Man-
ning, a Seven Rivers Christian
School senior, found a floor-
length, blue-beaded dress along
with accessories at the prom
dress giveaway
Cinderella's Closet was mag-
ically created with a sprinkle of
pixie dust, a lot of organization
and a fairy-godmother spirit.
The prom dress giveaway is a
ministry created by the Work-
ing Christian Women group,
under the umbrella of Corner-
stone Baptist Church at 1100 W
Highland Blvd., Inverness.
Cinderella's Closet founder
Dana Davis formed the idea of
a prom dress giveaway when
she and her college-age daugh-
ter, Rachel, were sorting
through Rachel's closet. As a
single mom, Davis remembered
how she scrimped, saved and
struggled to buy Rachel a prom
dress. Every year, she said, she
is overwhelmed and pleased
with the response to the need.
"The community and volun-
teers have been amazing,"
Davis said. "We had 180 volun-
teers who helped make this
process a success. When setting
up last night, we had so many
volunteers that we were done
four hours ahead of schedule."
In addition to the long and
short dresses, the girls chose
from the selection of 357 pairs
of shoes along with purses and
jewelry. All were donated by
the community Onsite alter-
ations were also available.
Cinderella's Closet has be-
come a memorable production
for the single mom and teacher
However, due to her wanting to
spend more time being a
mother and teacher, she has de-
cided to pass off the crown.
Lindsey Taylor will take over as
the lead fairy godmother at Cin-

Legislature puts salaries online


Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE Floridians
will finally get a chance on their
own to find out how much peo-
ple are getting paid to work for
the Florida Legislature.
The two Republican leaders
of the Florida House and
Florida Senate quietly this week
added links on legislative web-
sites that allow people to look up
legislative employee salaries.
The two chambers are also post-
ing copies of contracts.
The move to post the informa-


tion comes nearly two years
after Gov Rick Scott posted
salaries of most state workers.
Scott eventually posted the
salaries of professors and other
university employees even
though it drew the ire of some of
those working for the schools.
Florida also has information
regarding state contracts posted
online.
Ryan Duffy, a spokesman for
House Speaker Will Weather-
ford, said the records are the
ones most frequently requested.
"We thought it would be easi-


ON THE NET

est for access by putting them
online," Duffy said Friday
The House website shows, for
example, that 32 employees in
the House earn $100,000 or more
a year, while the Senate website
also lists 32 employees earning
at least $100,000.
The decision by lawmakers
comes after a decision by Scott


to shutter a budget-tracking
website the Senate paid $5 mil-
lion to develop.
The Florida Senate hired a
contractor to build the site, but
the contract to use the website
called Transparency 2.0 expired
Dec. 31. The vendor wanted $1
million to renew it.
The Legislature appropriated
$2.5 million to transfer the web-
site to Scott's office and make it
public. But Scott declined, be-
cause it was developed through
a no-bid contract.
Scott's office then announced


it would seek competitive bids
for a Florida budget website
open to all citizens. Open gov-
ernment and ethics advocacy
groups had urged keeping the
Transparency 2.0 website and
making it public.
The governor already has his
own website, www.FloridaHasA
RightToKnow, which gives the
public access to state employee
salary information. It also allows
the public to view six-figure re-
tirement benefits for state and
local employees with personal
information redacted.


State BRIEFS


Police: Man killed 2 sons,
himself at wife's home
BOYNTON BEACH -A South Florida man
killed two of his sons early Saturday before
killing himself at his estranged wife's home,
police said.
Officers were called at 1:50 a.m. to the
Boynton Beach home of Victoria Flores
Zavala, who had been separated for some
time from her husband, Isidro Zavala, police
spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said.
Victoria Zavala told detectives she was
watching TV when she heard a commotion.
She went to check on the boys and saw
Zavala, dressed all in black, choking one of
them.
She tried fighting off Isidro Zavala, begging
him to kill her and not the children, Slater said.
"He told her she was going to stay alive and
suffer the loss of them," Slater said.
Police identified the children as 12-year-old
Eduardo Zavala and 11-year-old Mario Zavala.
One boy was found dead in a screened patio
area, and the other was in the kitchen.
Both boys had been strangled with a rope,
Slater said.
Zavala was discovered in the kitchen with a
self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had shot
Mario several times before turning the gun on
himself, Slater said.
The couple also has a 19-year-old son, who
does not live at the home.
The slaying were reported to Florida's De-
partment of Children and Families. There was
no history of domestic violence or abuse re-
ported at Victoria Zavala's home, police said.


Traffic crash in Panhandle
kills Alabama man
MILTON -Authorities said an Alabama
man died from injuries he suffered in a traffic
crash in the Florida Panhandle.
The Florida Highway Patrol said David M.
Kicker of Repton, Ala., was driving a Ford Ex-
plorer on a state road southeast of Jay when
he failed to stop for a turning vehicle.
Troopers told the Northwest Florida Daily
News that Kicker's SUV rear-ended a car that
then struck a third vehicle. Neither of the other
drivers was injured in the accident Wednes-
day afternoon.
Kicker's vehicle went into a ditch and rolled
over. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Authorities said Kicker was taken to a Pen-
sacola hospital, where he died Thursday.

Montana police investigating
missing Spanish coin
BILLINGS, Mont. -The Red Lodge Police
Department is investigating the disappearance
of a 300-year-old silver Spanish coin originally
found by an amateur treasure hunter diving off
the Florida coast.
Harold Holden died Jan. 10 at age 88 at the
Cedar Wood Villa nursing home in Red
Lodge, Mont. His sister, Evelyn Grovenstien of
Billings, said the next day she went to collect
his belongings, but the coin Holden wore daily
on a chain around his neck was gone.
The Billings Gazette reported in a story
published Saturday that Holden found the coin
in an area where a fleet of Spanish ships sank
in a hurricane in 1715.
The Florida construction supervisor often
dived in the area for treasure and found sev-
eral coins and relics through the years.

Surgeon at center of Sen. Menendez trips


Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH -
To some, Dr Salomon Mel-
gen was a miracle worker
who brought sight to the
blind. To others, he was a
smooth political player
known for rubbing elbows
and jet-setting.
Whichever version of
Melgen roused the interest
of the FBI, which raided
his offices this week, their
investigation has illumi-
nated the surgeon's ability
to build ties to a host of
Democratic lawmakers.
Foremost among them is
Sen. Robert Menendez of
New Jersey, whose friend-
ship with Melgen has
yielded fundraisers, cam-
paign contributions and
trips on a private plane.
Menendez said this week
he did nothing wrong and
flatly denied allegations
reported by The Daily
Caller, a conservative web-
site, that he traveled on
Melgen's plane to the Do-
minican Republic for sex
with prostitutes.
Though facts remain
piecemeal, a fuller por-
trait of Melgen has
emerged. There are pho-
tos of the beaming doctor
sandwiched between
Menendez and former
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, a trail of checks
written to politicians and a
web of business interests
that apparently fueled his
wealth.
Melgen, 58, is a native of
the Dominican Republic
who has lived in the U.S.
since at least 1980, holding
medical posts around the
country while building a
reputation as a top oph-
thalmologist He has a wife
and two children.
Calls to his home and of-
fice were not answered,
but his attorney has said
he did nothing wrong.
On the website for his
Vitreo-Retinal Consultants
Eye Center practice, he is
called a pioneer and an in-
novator, a front-runner in
treatment of macular de-
generation, a common eye
disorder. He has treated


Associated Press
Dr. Salomon Melgen is seen
July 20, 2009, at his office in
West Palm Beach. Sen.
Robert Menendez's office
said he reimbursed Melgen,
a prominent Florida political
donor, $58,500 on Jan. 4 of
this year for the full cost of
two of three trips Menendez
took Melgen's plane to the
Dominican Republic in 2010.
"presidents, governors,
politicians, celebrities and
actors," according to his
website.
Patricia Goodman, his
office manager and per-
sonal assistant for a
decade until cancer forced
her to quit in 1999, remem-
bers an endless stream of
patients coming from all
over the world for his care.
"He was just the best
surgeon," she said, "and
we had people that would
come in that were blind
and told they would never


see again and he brought
back their sight."
When Goodman was suf-
fering through cancer, her
paychecks never stopped,
nor did Melgen's concern.
He would often provide his
services for free to people
who could not afford it.
She's reluctant to say
anything negative about
him, except to say he was a
"ladies man" and liked
"living on the edge." She
refused to elaborate.
As Goodman remembers
it, a single big-name intro-
duction appeared to fuel
Melgen's entrance into the
world of politics. Then-
Gov Lawton Chiles of
Florida, a Democrat, went
to Melgen for eye surgery
in 1997 and later tapped
the doctor for a state panel
on HMOs. Not long after-
ward, he became a reli-
able donor to Democratic
power brokers and a fre-
quent host of fundraisers
at both his waterfront,
6,500-square-foot home
near North Palm Beach
and his house in the Do-
minican Republic in the
exclusive residential re-
sort community of Casa de
Campo.
Goodman coordinated
logistics for the fundrais-
ers buffets, bands and a
huge patio where revelers
could dance. She remem-
bers events with former
Sens. Christopher Dodd


and Bob Graham and for-
mer Dominican President
Leonel Fernandez. Melgen
basked in the newfound
attention.
"He loved the limelight,
he loved it," Goodman
said. "He loved being with
the politicians."
Last year, Melgen's prac-
tice gave $700,000 to Ma-
jority PAC, a super
political action committee
set up to fund Democratic
candidates for Senate.
Aided by Melgen's dona-
tion, the super PAC be-
came the largest outside
political committee con-
tributing to Menendez's re-
election, spending more
than $582,000 on the sena-
tor's behalf, according to
an analysis of federal elec-
tion records.


Melgen and his immedi-
ate family have given tens
of thousands more to other
political causes, including
directly to Menendez.
Even as Melgen culti-
vated a political profile in
the U.S., he was never gone
long from his homeland.
Fernandez, the ex-
Dominican president,
named him as an alternate
delegate to the United Na-
tions during his first term
and an ambassador as-
signed to the Foreign Min-
istry in his second.
Meanwhile, a private
plane owned by Melgen's
company, DRM Med Assist
LLC, made more than 100
trips to the Dominican Re-
public since July 2009, an
Associated Press review of
flight records found. Nearly


a dozen of those trips
showed brief stopovers at
Washington, D.C.-area air-
ports, although it's unclear
who was on board because
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration rules don't require
private aircraft to file flight
manifests.
Menendez repaid Mel-
gen $58,500 for two 2010
trips he characterized as
personal. The reimburse-
ment was made Jan. 4 in
response to the ethics
complaint, but there was
no public disclosure of it
until this week. The reim-
bursement is significant
for a politician who's not
wealthy by Washington
standards. Disclosure
forms show Menendez's
net worth as less than
$700,000.

ROMA ARTIST
VIENNA- Ceija Sto-

Nazi death camps and
went on to raise the

She was 79.
Stojka carried the

decades after she was
liberated from the
Bergen-Belsen camp at
age 12. While her

Associated Press
This undated photo from
by Ohio Art shows a
classic Etch A Sketch,
first introduced in 1960.

Andre
Cassagnes, 86
INVENTOR
BRYAN, Ohio -
Andre Cassagnes, the in-
ventor of the Etch A
Sketch toy that genera-
tions of children drew
on, shook up and started
over, has died in France,
the toy's maker said.
Cassagnes died Jan. 16
in a Paris suburb at age
86, said the Ohio Art Co.,
based in Bryan in north-
west Ohio. The cause of
death wasn't disclosed.
"Etch A Sketch has
brought much success to
the Ohio Art Company,
and we will be eternally
grateful to Andre for that
His invention brought joy
to so many over such a
long period of time," said
Larry Killgallon, presi-
dent of Ohio Art.
Then an electrical
technician, Cassagnes
came upon the Etch A
Sketch idea in the late
1950s when he peeled a
translucent decal from a
light switch plate and
found pencil mark im-
ages transferred to the
opposite face, the Toy In-
dustry Association said.
Ohio Art saw his idea
at the Nuremberg Toy
Fair in 1959. The toy,
with its gray screen, red
frame and two white
knobs that are twisted
back and forth to create
drawings, was launched
in 1960 and became the
top seller that holiday
season. More than 100
million have been sold
worldwide since.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


SAFETY
Continued from PageAl

The Citrus County Chronicle
today begins a yearlong series
that will explore that question.
Every few weeks, we will ex-
plore safety in the area of
schools, mental health, courts,
crime and the home. We'll see
whether programs designed to
protect children work or not.
The series will draw on experi-
ences from experts, advocates,
parents and children.
The question is not an easy
one to answer, even with some of
Citrus County's leading child
advocates.
"You can't legislate safety,"
Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said. "That
has to be driven by the commu-
nity That's where we're very
lucky in this county."
Dawsy's office partners with
the Citrus County School Dis-


SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013 A9


trict and other agencies to cre-
ate a mix of programs designed
to keep children from harm.
School resource officers give
the sheriff's office a presence in
schools. The Teen Driving Chal-
lenge teaches young drivers how
to avoid traffic accidents. The
Safe School Teen Protection
program STP for short -
opens dialogue between the
sheriff's office, school district
and social agencies to pinpoint
children whose unstable home
environment may lead to prob-
lems in school and elsewhere.
Dawsy knows those programs
are effective in keeping schools
safe. But they aren't perfect.
"There's always new stuff to
do," he said. "Every Friday af-
ternoon I have a sigh of relief
and every Monday my anxiety
goes up."
Veteran school board member
Pat Deutschman said children
in the U.S. seem at risk more
now than ever before.


"Too many children are dying.
Too many children are being
killed," she said. "Children get
in the way of violence too often."
Schools have spent millions of
dollars tightening security, par-
ticularly after the April 1999
shootings at Columbine High


School in Colorado.
"I feel like we go overboard in
overreacting to situations," she
said. '"After Columbine, there
were more SROs in school. That
was a good thing. Then we started
putting up fences around schools.
A lot of money is spent in chang-
ing the way schools operate in so
far as entry and exit Video cam-
eras in hallways and on buses. It's
been at an enormous expense.
And there have been very few in-
cidences that would have caused
us to spend this money"
She added, though: "I guess
it's also preventative."
Something must be working be-
cause the school board is seeing
fewer student expulsions related
to weapons, Deutschman said.
"In the last year, I think we
haven't had an expulsion of a kid
using a weapon," she said. '"A lot
of things are put in place. We're
teaching awareness of the se-
vere penalties. It must be getting
to them."


Mental health advocates also
say programs protect children
from harm.
Diane Daniels, chief clinical
officer for the Centers in Ocala
and Lecanto, said about 30 per-
cent to 40 percent of the pro-
gram's 13,000 clients last year
were younger than 18.
Daniels, who has 43 years in
the profession including 19
years at the Centers, said there
is a much greater awareness of
issues involving children in the
past 20 years. Child abuse, for
example, is reported much more
today than in earlier decades.
"Forty years ago, it was just
not something that was urged
and promoted in the commu-
nity," she said. "We're more alert
and aware today and there are
more safeguards. The down side
is there are more children to
deal with."

CHILDREN
Continued from Page Al

Many of the Citrus
County Sheriff's Office
deputies know Tiffany
from Beef 'O'Brady's
where she works. Many
people in the community
knew her parents, espe-
cially her mother. They
know the kids.
The family has lived in
Inverness since the mid-
1990s, involved in every-
thing soccer and Girl
Scouts and school events.
The Davenports were
known as a friendly, open,
giving, boisterous family
To know the Davenports is
to love them.
Some weeks later, at a
social event in the neigh-
borhood where the Daven-
port kids were clearly the
youngest ones in atten-
dance, they met a woman
who confessed it was her
husband who had called
the cops.
"The lady told us, After
8 p.m. nothing happens
around here,' and her hus-
band thought it was suspi-
cious," Tiffany said.
"When we moved here, I
knew that because we're
so young that the people
here would have an eye on
us. So my whole goal was
to put ourselves out there.
I told the kids if they ever
see anybody, wave at them.
Be nice, because I knew
we'd be under a watchful
eye."'
They began raking
neighbors' yards and being
their extra-friendly, help-
ful selves.
"We've met the neigh-
bors here and there and
it's turned out that they

here," Tiffany said. "They
say, 'If you ever want to be
spoiled or need some

have a whole bunch of

Next-door neighbor Mil-
lie Reph said when the
neighbors first learned
three young people were
going to be living in their
quiet neighborhood, there
was some apprehension.
"People were thinking,
'What are they going to be
like? How much noise are
they going to make?' But
they're great kids. They're
friendly, they hug every-
body, talk to everybody
And the girls come and
play bingo."

in-law, Jake Weber, came

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Unwrapping a mystery


Museum scans

mummy for

answers
Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. -
Using modern technology,
a Virginia museum is
working to unwrap the
story behind one of the
earliest surviving Egypt-
ian mummies.
The Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts in Richmond
partnered this week with a
medical imaging center to
complete a CT scan on
Tjeby, its 4,000-year-old
mummy, in hopes of piecing
together more information
about the mummy itself
and better understanding
the early history of the
mummification process.
While it isn't the first
time a mummy has gone
under the digital knife,
only a handful from the
time period have been ex-
amined in this fashion.
The information gathered
will help provide greater
detail of the body, create a
3-D digital model and even
reconstruct the face of the
mummy that has been on
display off and on since
being acquired by the mu-
seum in 1953.
Little is known about
Tjeby, who was buried in a
rock-cut tomb at a site
known as Sheikh Farag in
upper Egypt and
excavated in 1923.
What museum officials
do know is, he dates to be-
tween 2150 and 2030 BCE,
a time of instability in
Egypt, with the breakdown
of central authority and
economic decline. Previ-
ous research suggests
Tjeby was 25 to 40 years
old when he died.
Experts hope a closer
look at data will help piece
together more biographi-
cal information, such as
Tjeby's specific age, diet
and cause of death. They
also will look at the mate-
rials used to mummify the
body and the amount of
soft tissue that has sur-
vived, and will determine
whether organs have been
removed, as they were in
mummies from later
periods.
Researchers said the
technology allows them to
learn about the mummy in
remarkable detail without
invasive or damaging
procedures.
"It's easier to unlock
that door of mystery to dis-
cover the secrets of the
past," said Alex Nyerges,
the museum's director.
He anticipates incorpo-
rating information gleaned
from the scan into the dis-
play of the mummy, which
includes its coffin and
other artifacts from inside,
such as a model of a boat
and a granite statue.
The first mummy CT
scan took place in 1977.
But back then and even
when Tjeby had his first
imaging scan in 1986 the
technology was fairly prim-
itive, and little could be
seen, said Jonathan Elias,
director of the Akhmim
Mummy Studies Consor-
tium, a Pennsylvania-
based organization that
has collected imaging data

Museum of Fine Arts, for a CT scan Friday, Feb. 1, at the HCA Virginia Imaging center
in Richmond, Va.


on 30 mummies and of-
fered to help the Virginia
museum analyze its
information.
"We're really at the be-
ginning of the process,
even with modern technol-
ogy, to unravel what's gone
on in this culture," Elias
said. "Compared with
1986,2013 is just like going
to another planet in terms
of what we're now able to
do."
On Friday, museum em-
ployees removed the
mummy, wrapped in
preservation material,
from his coffin and used
Velcro ties to secure him to
a platform, readying him
for the 15-minute van ride
from the museum to sub-
urban Richmond for the
scan.


When he arrived at
HCAs Independence Park
Imaging Center, Tjeby was
carefully rolled in on a gur-
ney, placed on a sliding
table head-first and uncov-
ered, revealing aged,
brown-tinted cloth wrap-
ping. A group of techni-
cians, doctors and museum
employees began snapping
photos to personally docu-
ment the occasion.
Then, with the click of a
button, an automated
voice urged the patient to
lie still and not breathe for
the CT scan.
"He's the ideal patient,"
joked Peter Schertz, cura-
tor of ancient art at the
museum. "If he only
stopped fidgeting."
Within seconds, thou-
sands of images began to

Punxsutawney


Phil predicts


early spring


Associated Press
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa.
- An end to winter's bit-
ter cold will come soon,
according to Pennsylva-
nia's famous groundhog.
Following a recent
stretch of weather that's
included temperatures
well below freezing as
well as record warmth,
tornadoes in the South
and Midwest and torren-
tial rains in the mid-
Atlantic, Punxsutawney
Phil emerged from his
lair Saturday in front of
thousands but didn't see
his shadow.
Legend has it if the
furry rodent sees his
shadow Feb. 2 on Gob-
bler's Knob in west-
central Pennsylvania,
winter will last six more
weeks. But if he doesn't,
spring will come early
The prediction is made
during a ceremony over-
seen by a group called the
Inner Circle. Members
don top hats and tuxedos
for the ceremony on
Groundhog Day each year
Bill Deeley, president
of the Inner Circle, says
that after "consulting"


with Phil, he makes the
call in deciphering what
Punxsutawney Phil has to
say about the weather.
Phil is known as the
"seer of seers" and "sage
of sages." Organizers pre-
dicted about 20,000 peo-
ple this weekend, a
larger-than-normal crowd
because Groundhog Day
falls on a weekend this
year.
"I just hope he's right
and we get warmer
weather soon," said Mike
McKown, 45, an X-ray
technician who drove up
from Lynchburg, Va., with
his mother
Phil's got company in
the forecasting depart-
ment. There's Staten Is-
land Chuck, in New York;
General Beauregard Lee,
in Atlanta; and Wiarton
Willie, in Wiarton, On-
tario, among others noted
by the National Climactic
Data Center "Groundhog
Day" Web page.
"Punxsutawney can't
keep something this big to
itself," the Data Center
said. "Other prognosticat-
ing rodents are popping
up to claim a piece of the
action."

Groundhog Club Co-handler Ron Ploucha holds the

make gun issue


new rallying cry
Associated Press


Tow




Associated Press
In this photo released by the White House, President Barack Obama shoots clay targets on the range Aug. 4, 2012,
at Camp David, Md. The White House released the photo of Obama firing a gun, two days before he heads to
Minnesota to discuss gun control.


Surprising shot of Obama


press secretary Jay Carney
said he didn't know how
often. Pictures may exist,
he said, but he hadn't seen
any
"Why haven't we heard
about it before?" Carney
was asked.
"Because when he goes
to Camp David, he goes to
spend time with his family
and friends and relax, not
to produce photographs,"
Carney said.
Obama is accompanied
almost everywhere by at
least one White House
photographer
Carney did not immedi-
ately respond Saturday
when asked to comment
on the decision to release
the photo. But it could be
part of an effort to portray
Obama as sympathetic to
gun owners and opponents
of his gun-control meas-
ures who argue the pro-
posals would infringe on
an individual's Second
Amendment right to bear
arms.


In the interview, which
appears in the Feb. 11
issue of The New Repub-
lic, Obama said gun-
control advocates should
be better listeners in the
latest debate about
firearms in the U.S. He also
declared his deep respect
for the tradition of hunting
in this country, which dates
back generations.
"I have a profound re-
spect for the traditions of
hunting that trace back in
this country for genera-
tions," Obama said.

WASHINGTON Two
days before President
Barack Obama's first trip
outside Washington to pro-
mote his gun-control pro-
posals, the White House
tried to settle a brewing
mystery when it released a
photo to back his claim to
be a skeet shooter.
Obama had set inquiring
minds spinning when, in
an interview with The
New Republic magazine,
he answered "yes" when
asked if he had ever fired
a gun. The admission
came as a surprise to
many
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp
David, we do skeet shoot-
ing all the time," Obama
said in the interview re-
leased last weekend, refer-


ring to the official presi-
dential retreat in rural
Maryland, which he last
visited in October while
campaigning for re-elec-
tion. Asked whether the
entire family participates,
the president said: "Not
the girls, but oftentimes
guests of mine go up
there."
Few could recall Obama
ever talking about firing a
gun or going skeet shoot-
ing "all the time."
The official White
House photo released Sat-
urday is dated Aug. 4, 2012.
The caption said Obama is
shooting clay targets on
the range at Camp David.
Asked at Monday's press
briefing how frequently
Obama shoots skeet and
whether photos of the out-
ings existed, White House


CONCORD, N.H. An

ment is there to protect us

avoid massive cuts to mil-

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. -
As the police standoff with
an Alabama man accused
of holding a 5-year-old boy
hostage continued Satur-
day, a nearby community
prepared to bury the bus
driver who was shot to
death trying to protect chil-
dren on his bus when the
episode began days earlier
Charles Albert Poland
Jr, 66, who was known
around town as Chuck,
was described by folks in
his hometown of Newton
as a humble hero. Hun-
dreds of people attended


visitation services for
Poland on Saturday
Mourners said they were
proud of Poland for his act
of selflessness, and for lay-
ing down his life for the
children on the bus. His
funeral was set for Sunday
afternoon.
"I believe that if he had
to do it all over again to-
morrow, he would," said
Poland's sister-in-law, Lav-
ern Skipper, earlier Satur-
day "He would do it for
those children."
Authorities said Jim Lee
Dykes boarded a stopped
school bus filled with 21
children Tuesday and de-


manded two boys between
6 and 8 years old. When
Poland tried to block his
way, the gunman shot him
several times and took one
5-year-old boy who po-
lice say remains in an un-
derground bunker with
Dykes.
Dale County Sheriff
Wally Olson said in a brief-
ing with reporters Satur-
day that Dykes has told
them he has blankets and
an electric heater in the
bunker on his property Au-

Video of police abuse
stokes anger in Egypt
CAIRO Egypt's Interior
Minister vowed Saturday to in-
vestigate the beating of a naked
man by riot police that threat-
ened to further inflame popular
anger against security forces,
but suggested initial results ab-
solve the police of direct abuse.
The beating was caught on
camera by The Associated
Press and the video was broad-
cast live on Egyptian television
late Friday as protests raged in
the streets outside the presiden-
tial palace. The AP video
showed police trying to bundle
the naked man into a police van
after beating him.
Less than 24 hours after the
incident, several thousand anti-
government demonstrators
marched again Saturday de-
nouncing the police and Islamist

after a week of violent protests.

day's assault, Interior Minister
Mohammed Ibrahim said initial re-

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE


Travelers enjoy

wildlife, color and

culture ofBrazil


The eight-hour
flight south
from Miami
passed quickly
for our early
morning landing. Rio
is only one hour ahead
of Eastern time, so we
suffered no jet lag.
Our hotel was on the beach along
the Copacabana. We have been to
many of the great cities of the world,
but the geography makes Rio one of
the most stunning places we have
seen, with incredible 1,000-foot rock
formations towering over the city.
Brazil has about 200 million people
and is the largest Roman Catholic
country in the world. It occupies
about 50 percent of all of South
America and is mostly in the tropics.
From 1500 to 1822, it was a colony of
Portugal. The economy is fueled by
sugar cane, gold, coffee, oil and
tourism.
When the early Portuguese explor-
ers first sailed into the Bay in the
1500s, they thought it was the mouth
of a river, so they named it Rio (river)
Janeiro (Janu-
ary, for when
they arrived). In
reality, what
they discovered
was just an
enormous bay,
like Tampa Bay.
There are few
indigenous In-
dians remain-
Barry Schwartzing; people are
ROAD LESS mostly a light-
TAKEN skinned mix of
European, In-
dian and
African. We had been warned by
many about rampant street crime,
but the government has been ex-
panding police coverage and we felt
safe, mostly staying in the main
tourist areas.
We visited Corcovado (the moun-
tain with the Christ the Redeemer
Statue) and Sugarloaf (the mountain
peak you see at the end of the beach
area). One morning during our stay, it
was a national holiday and the boule-
vard along the beach was closed to
traffic. We were able to rent bikes
and ride along the boardwalk to
Ipanema Beach.
This area of the city is like Miami
Beach except for the mountains
guarding the city, skimpier bathing
suits and it seems like everyone is
about 20 years old. The Copa and
Ipanema areas face the Atlantic, so
they get lots of waves and many peo-
ple were out surfing.
The Brazilian economy has been
growing and the large middle class
earns about $35,000 per year Even
houses in the favelas can cost more
than $150,000. You can get a home
mortgage, but most people save and
put 70 percent down when they buy a
house, usually with family help.
From our perspective, costs for lodg-
ing and food are about the same as
we would spend in the United States.
They have federal taxes that vary
with income brackets, a Social Secu-
rity system similar to ours and every-
one must buy medical insurance.
As we traveled through villages, it
was clear people have the basics:
health care, education, TV and trans-
portation. Poverty is not nearly as ev-
ident as when you travel through
Mexico.
Can you name the two countries
that Brazil does not touch in South
America?

Birds, beasts in Pantanal
The Pantanal is the world's largest
wetland, 20 times larger than the
Everglades. To fly there, we went

Our guides were amazing. They
could identify a small bird as it
zipped across the sky or just hear a
sound and know what it is. Some of
the highlights were the macaws, tou-
cans, several species of owl, many
types of hawks and lots
of small,
colorful birds.
Fall is considered the
end of the dry season, so
the animals are more

Many animals wan-

and an anteater, as well
as a tapir, coati and
agouti.

To the Amazon
When we flew from
Cuiaba to Brasilia, our Boats awai


plane was late and we missed our
connection to Manaus. A ticket agent
was waiting at the gate with new tick-
ets to get us to Manaus, but there was
a major thunderstorm and the Man-

call to our Rio travel agent, we finally
got to Manaus at 2 a.m. and our
driver was waiting.
We stayed at the Tropical Manaus,

Where the Schwartzes went.
on the Rio Negro to the Anivilhanus
Jungle Lodge. The Rio Negro is al-
most black with tannic acid so no
mosquitoes breed. Our jungle lodge
was beautiful, had good food, clean
water, satellite TV and Internet. Our
guide, Landro, was an indigenous In-
dian from the northern part of Brazil.
Hiking with him through the rain for-
est was a wonderful education.
On a night game run, we saw four
sloths and several boas in the trees.
During the day we fed the Amazon
pink dolphins and fish for piranhas.

Rhythms of Salvadore
Salvadore is on a huge bay and is
the third largest city in Brazil. We
stay in the old, well-preserved his-
toric section, Pelourinho. Amerigo
Vespuci sailed into the bay in 1501
and claimed the area for Portugal.
Sugar cane was the cash crop and it
was the capital until the mid 1800s
when they moved it to Rio.
In the 1960s they built a new capi-
tal city, Brasilia, to encourage people
to move inland. Salvadore was the
slave center and they imported 5 mil-
lion African slaves to work the fields
until the mid 1800s. Now it is the cen-
ter of Afro-Brazilian culture.
Music and art keep the city's
streets vibrating with energy. The
young men practice copoeina, which
is a mix of martial arts and dance, I
am sure it is where American break
dancing started.

Booming Brazil
Brazil is booming and the upcom-
ing 2014 World Cup Soccer and 2016
summer Olympics will bring a tourist
bonanza to the country The economy
is creating many of middle class op-
portunities and there is a big empha-
sis on preserving the environment.
They understand the importance of
the natural resources found in Brazil
and they are getting control of street
crime.
Walking through the dense jungle
can be an adventure in removing
ticks afterward. But, until we see any
gross worms wiggling out of our bod-
ies, we are healthy and ready for
more adventures.
I miss hearing the racket that the
chaco chachalacas make in the morn-
ing. And, yes, in Ipanema, they really
do say "Ah.."
By the way, in answer to my earlier
question, the two countries Brazil
does not touch in South America are
Chile and Ecuador

Dad knows best


about move


Dear Annie: My
family wants to
move to another
state. The only reason we
haven't is because of my
dad's job. He has worked
for the same company for
18 years and doesn't want
to lose his retirement
benefits. I understand
how important the job is,
but the company could
easily allow a transfer to
another
branch.
Whenever
we try to talk
to Dad about
moving, he
gets angry
and yells at us
or leaves the
room in frus-
tration. It's
causing a lot
of tension at
home. We feel
stuck and un- ANN
happy here, MAIL
and that
makes me
upset with my father for
not putting any effort into
moving. He has told us
many times that he wants
to go somewhere else, yet
he doesn't do anything to
make it happen.
Dad was looking at real
estate prices in a city we
vacationed in this year,
but seems to have forgot-
ten about it. How do we
help him see that moving
is best for all of us? There
is no downside. Other
branches of the company
pay better than the one
he works at now, and


I
.1


there's also the possibil-
ity that he could find a job
with an entirely different
company that's even bet-
ter for him.
I think Dad is worried
about selling the house,
but how will he know
whether he can sell it if
he doesn't try? He is so
resistant to change. How
can we help him? His
Daughter
Dear Daugh-
ter: Moving
away may seem
like a simple
thing to you, but
for your father,
it is fraught
with uncer-
tainty You don't
know that his
company would
offer to transfer
him. You don't
know that he
E'S could find a
BOX better, or even
an adequate,
job somewhere
else and start from
scratch to support his
family You don't know
that he could sell the
house for enough to buy
another one. All of these
things weigh on his mind,
and your constant pres-
sure adds to his unhappi-
ness and stress.
Here's how you can
help Dad: Tell him you
love him and you know he
is doing what he thinks is
best for the family Don't
bring up the subject
again. He knows how you
feel.

You are what



you watch


On the evening news
last night, one of
the commercials
ended with, "If you're be-
tween the ages of 50 and
75, you may be eligible
...," and I started to laugh.
Who else do they think
is watching the evening
news? Teenagers? New-
lyweds? Or do I repeat
myself? How else could
you explain all the com-
mercials for Cialis,
facelifts, hearing aids,
AARP, understanding
Medicare, vitamins just
for men, vitamins just for
women, hair
dye and "ma-
ture" singles
dating services
that run be-
tween the sto-
ries about the
national debt
and the
Mideast car
bomb o' the
day? JI
And how MUL
many times do MU
they think peo-
ple between the ages of
50 and 75 have to see the
same ad before it gets re-
sults? Fifty? Seventy-
five? Three hundred and
sixty-five? Infinity? Is
there a man alive who
needs Cialis who hasn't
heard about it? If he's
that out of touch, he's
probably not dating on
the Internet, either.
It's like all those beer
ads during the Super
Bowl- what do advertis-
ers think most of the fans
are drinking already? Do
they really have to spend
a million dollars a second
to sell viewers something
they already have in their
hands? Do they think
beer drinkers are that
stupid? Yes, they do.
Maybe the nightly news
gets older viewers only
because of the ads. To
anyone younger than 50,
the commercials are a
peek into their future at
Hip Replacement Vil-
lage, which scares them
silly
For all my complain-
ing, the good news is that
we can get hip replace-
ments and facelifts and
Cialis. In the old days,
you had to play the cards
you were dealt. No
longer. Bad liver? Get a
new one. Don't like your
face? Get a new one.
Not long ago, my wife
bought an old photo
album at a garage sale
that was full of newspa-
per clippings of the do-
ings in our town 60 years
ago. As she flipped
through the yellowed
pages, she stopped and
asked me to look at a
photo of a group of
women. There were


about 20 of them, some
kind of club, the front row
sitting and the back row
standing.
"How old do you think
they are?" she asked.
Sensing that it might be
one of those trick ques-
tions Sue asks that al-
ways make me look
stupid and foolish like
asking when I'm going to
clean out my office right
after I've cleaned out my
office, or have I forgotten
to gas up the car again, or
whose turn is it to wash
the dog I took my time
looking at the
photo, be-
cause they can
be hard to
interpret.
Every now
and then, I'll
read a true
story about
some famous
figure in his-
M tory, a person
described as a
LEN great beauty
or as devil-
ishly handsome, and then
I'll turn the page and look
at the photograph and
cringe. The guy's hair is
plastered to his head
with bear grease, yet part
of it manages to pop up
and curl around in an un-
attractive way His eyes
look beady because the
camera flash washed out
his eyebrows, and his
clothes look ratty. There's
an expression on his face
that screams "Why am I
here?" because they told
him not to move or blink
for 30 seconds, and what-
ever you do, don't smile. I
look at this old portrait
and wonder, "If that's
good-looking, what was
stone-cold ugly back
then?"
I looked the group of
women again.
"I'm guessing about
75."
Sue took her hand off
the caption. The oldest
woman in the group was
55, the youngest, 42. Even
overlooking the long-
unfashionable clothing
and the dated hairstyles,
they looked worn out long
before their time. No
doubt a similar picture of
a group of men would
have fooled me, too.
It was a time before
pacemakers, hip and
knee replacements, laser
eye surgery all this
wonderful stuff that can
make us feel young again.
But can a hip replace-
ment make our faces look
younger? Or are we just
smiling more when they
take our photographs?

CR wrestling finishes 2nd in district


JOE KORNECKI III
Correspondent
HOLIDAY The Crystal
River Pirates wrestling team
was cheerful after all the
matches were finished
Saturday night at An-
clote High School.
The Pirates fin-
ished third at the
District 1A-8
wrestling tourna- ,
ment and sent nine ---
grapplers to the regionals
last year. This year, the Pirates
did even better. Crystal River
finished second out of nine


teams with a score of 167, and
they send 11 grapplers to com-
pete in the Region 1A-2 tourna-
ment at Lakeland Tenoroc High
School starting Friday
Pasco (207.5) was crowned
district champion, and
Mk Hudson Fivay (160)
V finished third.
.i "They knew what
they had to do, and
they did it" Crystal
., River coach Craig
'- Frederick said of his
grapplers.
Crystal River had five
wrestlers advance to the cham-
pionship round and qualify for


region in the process. The Pi-
rates had four wrestlers finish
in the runner-up position: Nick
Hooper (132 pounds), Jose Aday
(138), Robert Brooker (160) and
Andrew Bilby (182).
Dylan Ayala (152) was the
only Pirate individual to win
the district championship in his
respective weight class. Ayala
started off slowly against An-
clote's Jonte Scott and ap-
peared to be in trouble in a
physical match as the two grap-
plers battled all over the mat.
Ayala recovered well, though,
and took a 10-3 victory
"He surprised me .... and his
name wasn't even on the board
for state," Ayala said. "Hope-

boys soccer championship banner. For
Citrus High School, the shots that just
missed the goal Saturday became
metaphoric in its 2-0 season-ending
semifinal game to Gainesville Eastside.
The Hurricanes looked to avenge last
season's 6-0 semifinal loss to the Rams
but history repeated itself, and they
were blanked at Hurricane Stadium in a
physical, hard-fought contest. Tyler
Miller-Jones and Joseph Malu netted
goals for Eastside, who hosts unde-

Rams head coach Ron Messick cred-

Journey for the job they did preparing
for the match, and causing his team to
panic in the first half and make mis-

at the regional title, saying his team is
battle-tested.
"With the young team we have," Mes-

a huge boost of confidence for us."

Citrus boys soccer coach said following
his team's 2-0 loss to Gainesville
Eastside on Saturday night in Inverness.
The Hurricanes' season ends at 10-6-4
overall and as District 3A-6 champions.
Eastside's offense to the outside and
controlling possession. Aggressive play
from a strong backfield frustrated the
visitors into poor passing and numerous
fouls.
However, Citrus failed to convert on a
handful of shot opportunities and the
teams entered halftime tied at 0-0. Just
shy of two minutes into the second half,
Malu took a center pass left of Hurri-
canes goalkeeper Alan Verone and beat
him for the 1-0 lead.
The goal settled the Rams down and
into their style of play and as time


ticked off the clock -the 'Canes got red-
carded twice, when frustrations started
to mount.
Miller-Jones put the game away with
16 minutes remaining on a right side
shot past Verone for the 2-0 lead. The
Citrus keeper finished with 15 saves on
17 shots.
As his team headed into the locker
room for the final time this season,
Journey said his players gave it their
best and played their hearts out.
Saying it was a wonderful season -
which included winning the District
3A-6 championship Journey added,
"We have a lot of fond memories this
year. We've accomplished a lot, and it's
just the beginning."
Senior defender Michael Hetland
reflected on the season and leaving the
team.
"It's sad just thinking it's going to be
our last game," Hetland said.
Junior forward Austin Wilcoxon will
have one last shot next season to get the
school's first soccer regional champi-
onship banner. Though that didn't hap-
pen, he pointed to the team's district
title.
"We made history with that. Step by
step, we worked night after night to get
that championship" Wilcoxon said. "Win
or lose, we're champions."

NEW ORLEANS The journey to
this Super Bowl wound through boun-

New Orleans has come full circle,
too. Ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in
August 2005, losing a quarter of its
population, abandoned by the Saints
for an entire season, the city couldn't
imagine hosting another Super Bowl.
But as New Orleans recovered and re-
built, it envisioned staging what Patri-

pre-eminent sporting event."
The NFL agreed it was time to re-
turn. And even if Commissioner Roger
Goodell is despised here after slap-

fines in the bounty scandal, the vibes
from the French Quarter and Ware-
house District this week have been
supportive, even uplifting.

Rockin' in Phoenix

Phil Mickelson hits from a bunker on the third hole Saturday during the third round of the Waste Management
Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Largest crowd in PGA event's history watches Lefty keep lead


Associated Press


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -
Phil Mickelson drew the
loudest roars from the
biggest crowd in golf his-
tory Saturday at the
Phoenix Open.
Mickelson nearly aced
the par-3 16th, hitting a 9-
iron to a foot to set up a
birdie on the stadium
hole packed with nearly
20,000 screaming fans.
Estimated at 179,022,
the third-round crowd
broke the record of


173,210 set last year, also
on a Saturday at fan-
friendly TPC Scottsdale.
The event has drawn
467,030 for the week and is
in position to break the
mark of 538,356 set in 2008.
Mickelson birdied the
final four holes and five of
the last six for a 7-under
64 and a six-stroke lead
over Brandt Snedeker.
The 42-year-old former
Arizona State star has led
after each round, opening
with a 60 and shooting a 65
on Friday He fell a stroke


short of the tour record for
the first 54 holes, and
matched the tournament
mark set by Mark
Calcavecchia in 2001.
Making his 24th appear-
ance in the event that he
won in 1996 and 2005,
Mickelson is trying to
complete his third career
wire-to-wire victory and
first since the 2006 Bell-
South Classic a 13-
stroke blowout the week
before the second of his
three Masters victories.
He also is in position to


match the tournament
record of three victories
set by Arnold Palmer and
matched by Gene Littler
and Calcavecchia.
The left-hander played
the first 12 holes in 2
under, making a 20-foot
birdie putt on the par-4
first and a 25-footer on the
par-4 fifth. He got up and
down from greenside
bunkers for birdies on the
par-5 13th and 15th holes,
followed with the tap-in
on 16, then chipped to 2
feet on the 337-yard 17th.


Super Bowl and


super injuries


After a day of surgery
last week in Jack-
onville, my wife and
I struck up a conversation
with the wife and kids of
new Jacksonville Jaguars
head coach Gus Bradley
What struck both my wife
and me in talk-
ing with her was _
the myriad of in-
juries that occur
during the
Super Bowl that
can easily end (
dreams even V
after the best
possible season. amM
The pressure
generated by Dr. Ron
being a partici- DOCT
pant in the na- ORD
tion's biggest
and most cele-
brated professional sports
championship is immense.
The buzz injury at this
year's Super Bowl is head
injuries, and concussions
in particular. Most impor-
tantly, the greatest ramifi-
cation of concussions is the
risk of permanent brain in-
juries resulting in prema-
ture dementia and bizarre,
life-altering behaviors.
From its beginning, foot-
ball has been a game of ag-
gression, contact and
violent collisions. The hel-
met's origin started with a
leather helmet more than
100 years ago in the 1893
Army-Navy game worn by
Admiral Joseph Mason
Reeves. He had been ad-
vised by a Navy doctor he
would be risking death or
"instant insanity" if he
took another kick to the
head. Wow, we seem to
have come full circle.
Most noteworthy about
football is not only the na-
ture of the contact be-
tween players, but the
immense size of the play-
ers and the speeds at
which they collide. A 250-
pound running back col-
liding with a 325-pound
defensive player, both run-
ning about 4.2-to-5.0-
second 40-yard sprints,
from greater than 1,000 to
almost 2,000 pounds.
The fundamental laws of
physics and the laws of
motion govern tackles,
even if they do not appear
orderly on the football
field. This is reflected in
the 1989 Super Bowl in
which defensive player

Tim Krumrie of the
Cincinnati Bengals sus-
tained a fractured tibia,
just above the ankle in the
opening few plays.
In spite of the immense
forces necessary to gener-
ate a fracture of this na-
ture, he was
fortunate
enough to have
a rod surgically
implanted in
the tibia and
S went on to play
six more years.
Not to be out-
done in this
Super Bowl,
Joseph Steve Wallace-
OR'S the offensive
ERS tackle for the
opposing 49ers
fractured his
leg a few plays before
Krumrie.
Remember Johnny Uni-
tas, Hall of Fame quarter-
back for the
then-Baltimore Colts, who
in Super Bowl V ab-
sorbed a rib-crushing
tackle that knocked him
out of the game. Unitas,
viewed by many as the
most valuable NFL player
of the league's first 50
years, was traded as a re-
sult of his rib injury, plus
earlier muscle tears in his
arm, essentially bringing
his career to a close.
In 1993, Troy Aikman
sustained a concussion a
week prior in the NFC
Championship game and
still notes he does not re-
member much of the Super
Bowl win a week later
Lin Dawson, the tight
end of the New England
Patriots in Super Bowl
XX, ruptured his Achilles
tendon in the first play
Today is Super Bowl
Sunday, many of us will be
watching a great sporting
event, albeit with different
motives. Some will watch
the game, others will love
the hard-hitting contact.
Still others watch for the
commercials.
Most importantly, it is
America and you can watch
for whatever reason you
want. I'm going to watch to
diagnose the injuries.

Sapp in Hall of Fame


Former Bucs DT

among seven

inductees picked

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS Bill Parcells
was a winner everywhere he
coached. Time and time again, he
took over struggling franchises and
showed them what it takes to be a
success, including a pair of Super
Bowl titles with the New York Giants.
Parcells pulled off another vic-
tory Saturday- election to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame.
Getting in on his fourth try, Par-
cells led an induction class that also
included mouthy defensive lineman
Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris
Carter and a pair of stalwarts from
the trenches, offensive linemen
Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.
The class of 2013 also included a
pair of senior selections, Curley
Culp and Dave Robinson. The an-
nouncement was made in New Or-
leans, site of Sunday's Super Bowl.
Almost as noteworthy were the fi-
nalists who didn't get in, including
running back Jerome Bettis and
owners Art Modell and Edward De-
Bartolo Jr. Players and coaches
from the Baltimore Ravens, who
will face the San Francisco 49ers in
the Super Bowl, spent all week lob-
bying for Modell, their former
owner who died last year, to claim a
place in the hall.
It didn't work out, no doubt pleas-
ing fans in Cleveland who remain
bitter about Modell moving the orig-
inal Browns to Baltimore.
Parcells had to wait a while, earn-
ing a bust in Canton on his fourth
try He thought he might get in the
previous year in tandem with one of
his former players, Curtis Martin.
"It was a little less stressful than
last year," Parcells said in a tele-
phone interview from Florida. "I
was kind of hoping we could do it
together, but as fate would have it,
it didn't work out."
Giants president and CEO John
Mara said Parcells' selection for the
hall was "long overdue," but his
candidacy stirred plenty of debate
- a one-hour discussion among the
selection committee members, by

2006 as a member of the Oakland Raiders, was selected Saturday to the

far the longest amount of time ded-
icated to any finalist
"He's one of the best coaches in
NFL history," Mara said. "He turned
our franchise around. We went
through a long period in the 1960's
and 70's when we were a laughing-
stock. When Bill took over in 1983,
he survived a very difficult first year,
but then turned us into a perennial
playoff contender and won two
Super Bowls for us. He coached
three other teams and everywhere
he went, he had great success."
No one was more emotional than
Carter, who took six years to get in de-
spite putting up some of the best re-
ceiving numbers in NFL history. He
broke down in tears but quickly
pointed out "it's not because I'm sad."
"This is the happiest day of my
life," he said. "When people said,
'Aw, you know, it really doesn't mat-
ter, you're a Hall of Famer in my
eyes,' I said, 'It's more important
that I'm a Hall of Famer in the
Hall's eyes.' And I really, really


wanted this. "
Sapp said his stomach was churn-
ing all day
He doesn't have to fret anymore.
Next stop, Canton.
"My feet haven't touched the
ground in about 30 minutes," Sapp
said. "This is unbelievable."
Parcells reversed the fortunes of
four teams, also coaching the New
England Patriots, New York Jets
and Dallas Cowboys, during 19
years as a head coach. He finished
with a record of 172-130-1, most no-
tably leading the Giants to Super
Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991.
Sapp got in on his first year of el-
igibility after playing 13 seasons
with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
and Oakland Raiders. He amassed
9612 career sacks despite playing on
the interior of the defensive line,
including double-digit sack totals in
four seasons. He was the 1999 NFL
Defensive Player of the Year after
helping Tampa Bay claim its first
division title in 18 years.

panel of 50 media members who
regularly cover the NFL.
Manning's own sensational recov-
ery, from four neck surgeries, earned
him Comeback Player honors.
"This injury was unlike any
other," said the only four-time
league MVP "There really was no
bar or standard, there were no
notes to copy We were coming up
with a rehab plan as we went."
Before sitting out 2011, Manning
had never missed a start in his first


13 seasons with Indianapolis. But he
was released by the Colts last winter
because of his neck issues, signed
with Denver and guided the Broncos
to the AFC's best record, 13-3.
"Certainly you have double vari-
ables of coming off injury, not play-
ing for over year and joining a new
team. That certainly added a lot to
my plate, so it was hard to really
know what to expect," Manning said.
"I can't tell you how grateful and
thankful I am. I can't tell you how
happy I am to be playing the game of
football we all love so much."
Also honored were:
-Washington's Robert Griffin III,
who beat out a strong crop of quar-
terbacks for the top offensive rookie
award.
Houston end J.J. Watt, who
took Defensive Player of the Year,
getting 49 of 50 votes.
Bruce Arians, the first interim
coach to win Coach of the Year after
leading Indianapolis to a 9-3 record
while head man Chuck Pagano was
being treated for leukemia. Arians
became Arizona's head coach last
month.
-Carolina linebacker Luke
Kuechly, the league's leader in tack-
les with 164, who won the top de-
fensive rookie award.
Peterson returned better than
ever from the left knee surgery,
rushing for 2,097 yards, 9 short of
breaking Dickerson's record.

MILWAUKEE --Monta Ellis scored
21 points and Brandon Jennings had
20 as the Milwaukee Bucks handed
the Orlando Magic their ninth straight
loss, 107-98 on Saturday night.
Ellis added 11 assist, and Larry
Sanders had 17 points, 13 rebounds
and six blocked shots for Milwaukee.
Ersan Ilyasova chipped in with 16
points and eight rebounds. Mike Dun-
leavy scored 11 points, hitting all
three of four 3-pointers.
Nikola Vucevic had 20 points, 12 re-
bounds and six assists for Orlando,
and Maurice Harkless had 19 points
and 14 rebounds.
Cavaliers 115, Thunder 110
CLEVELAND Kyrie Irving scored 35
points, including 13 in the final 2:52, and
the Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Okla-
homa City Thunder 115-110 on Saturday.
One night after saying he was "disinter-
ested" during a loss in Detroit, Irving was
simply spectacular down the stretch. He
single-handedly closed out one of the
NBA's best teams, making his last five
shots and showing why he's an All-Star at
20. Irving's biggest shot was a 3-pointer
with 42 seconds left to make it 113-108.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Rus-
sell Westbrook had 28 for the Thunde.
Knicks 120, Kings 81
NEW YORK -Amare Stoudemire was
10 for 10 from the field for 21 points, and
the Knicks unleashed a 38-4 run on Sacra-
mento in the first half and went on to their
fourth straight victory.
The Knicks actually trailed by 10 when
Stoudemire entered in the first quarter,
then went on to challenge the franchise-
record victory margin of 48 points.
DeMarcus Cousins had 25 points and
nine rebounds for the Kings.

his generation on his self-proclaimed

that he tried to get unusual products

lined him for 10 games.)

The Pirates had six wrestlers qualify

in grand fashion. Carlos Sanabria got in
early trouble, but recovered and de-
feated Tyler Hoyne of Ocala Trinity

Lecanto rounded out the remainder
of the team standings.
NCT and LO'L are each advancing
10 grapplers to regionals followed by
Citrus (8), Hernando (6), and Central
and Lecanto (5).
Neither of the Citrus County pro-
grams produced a top-of-the-podium
performance.
Hurricanes head coach Jeff Wood
watched his team fizzle, going 0-for-5
in its finals matches and 0-for-3 for
third place in its consolation bouts.
CHS began the day on the wrong
foot when senior Chris Mosher failed
to make weight at 106 (actually 108


pounds, including the tourney's two-
pound allowance).
Instead, Mosher competed at 113,
replacing freshman David Myrick.
After a bye, he folded Hernando
sophomore Bailey Mosher (no rela-
tion) via a 13-4 major decision to reach
the finals.
But top-seeded Eagle sophomore
Michael McDonald of Springstead (41-
3 overall) needed 91 seconds to earn
his second straight district crown.
"I didn't let missing weight destroy
my day," said the 18-year-old Mosher,


points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his
first career triple-double, leading the Rock-
ets to the victory.
Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
was taken off the court on a stretcher in
the fourth quarter after teammate Jeff Tay-
lor collided with him going for a rebound.
Kidd-Gilchrist was fitted with a neck brace
and taken to the hospital.
Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson
scored 24 points apiece for the Rockets.

Bulls 93, Hawks 76
ATLANTA- Luol Deng had 25 points
and 14 rebounds, and the short-handed
Bulls used their stifling defense to shut
down the Hawks.
Taj Gibson had 19 points and a career-
high 19 rebounds. Jimmy Butler added an-
other double-double with 16 points and 10
rebounds. Robinson scored 20 points.
Josh Smith led Atlanta with 19 points
and 13 rebounds but he scored only three
points in the second half.

T'wolves 115, Hornets 86
MINNEAPOLIS Dante Cunningham
scored a season-high 18 points, Nikola
Pekovic added 14 and Minnesota snapped
a six-game losing streak.
Cunningham hit all nine of his shots to
set a franchise record for most consecu-
tive field goals without a miss.
Anthony Davis scored 18 points for the
Hornets.

Spurs 96, Wizards 86
SAN ANTONIO Tim Duncan sprained
his left knee and right ankle in the first half
of the San Antonio Spurs' 96-86 victory
over the Washington Wizards.
Tony Parker scored 19 points, Danny
Green added 15 and Tiago Splitter had 12
for San Antonio (38-11), which has won 18
straight at home.
John Wall scored 21 points and Martell
Webster had 14 for Washington (11-35),
which has lost 13 straight to San Antonio.


headset He's the only head coach to win
playoffgames in his first five seasons; his
quarterback, Joe Flacco, has the same
distinction as he heads into his first
Super Bowl. Jim Harbaugh was a first-
round draft pick and quarterbacked four
teams in 14 pro seasons before going into
coaching. He was an immediate success
at San Diego -the Toreros in the college
Pioneer League, not the Chargers in the
NFL and Stanford before the 49ers
won a bidding war for him in 2011.
This week's family reunion has been
light-hearted, though that figures to
change today
"It's probably a little tougher emo-
tionally," John Harbaugh said of facing
his brother. "It's a little tougher just
from the sense of I don't think you
think about it when you're coaching
against somebody else; it's more about
the scheme and the strategy. There's a
little bit of a relationship element
that's more strong than maybe coach-
ing against someone else."


messed up."
Geo Valdares (220) pinned Bryan
Garcia of North Marion, and Brandon
Martin closed it out with a pin of
Pasco's Josh Burt
"I had to work hard in practice ... and
coach got me ready for this match ...
and I'm looking forward to regionals,"
Valdares said.
Teammate Martin agreed.
"I thought we performed well ... and
glad it is an individual sport," Martin
said afterwards. "I'm proud of going to
regionals ... and hope to get to state."
Crystal River was second in players
behind Pasco (12), and the Pirates had
the most wins by pin with 18; Pasco was
second with 17 victories via pin.
The Pirates were second in total
match victories with 27, as they com-
piled a 27-15 match record. Pasco fin-
ished with 31 match victories and
13 losses.
Anclote- the host- finished fourth
(116.5) in the final standings followed
by North Marion (66), Dunnellon (48.5),
Weeki Wachee (48.5), Trinity Catholic
(32) and Hudson (30).


who dipped to 31-13. "I disappointed
myself by not making weight. I'm at
113 now and I've got to fight my way
back to states."
Besides Mosher, Citrus' regional
qualifiers included second-place fin-
ishers: seniors Jacob Nolen at 145 and
Nick Fernandez at 195, juniors Casey
Bearden at 170 and Brandon Taylor at
182; and fourth-place finishers: senior
Dalton Tinsley at 132, and juniors
Tarique Cabanas at 138 and Bradley
Wisenauer at 220.
"The good news was we had eight
kids placing," Wood said. "The bad
news was we didn't have anyone fin-
ish first or third. No one did anything
perfect today; we all had some mo-
ments. We have to understand region-
als aren't going to be any easier"
Lecanto captured 10-of-33 matches,


featuring five pins.
Last winter, four Panthers advanced
to regionals.
This time, LHS will be represented
in Osceola County by a trio of third-
place finishers: sophomore Joel Pel-
ton at 132, senior Brian Scorria at 138
and junior Jonah Nightengale at 195
and two fourth-place finishers: jun-
iors Jon Fillinger at 126 and De'Andre
Horton at 170.
Fillinger, Pelton, Scorria, Horton
and Nightengale each won two bouts.

helping No. 4 Florida beat 16th-
ranked Mississippi 78-64 on
Saturday night
Murphy made 7 of 8 shots, in-

the No. 1 ranking it held for the first
seven weeks this season when the
new poll comes out Monday.

Big East).
C.J. Fair led Syracuse (18-3, 6-2)

Actress


wins three


honors at


NAACP


awards

Washington takes

home best actress,

supporting actress,

President's trophy

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES Kerry
Washington was a triple threat
at the NAACP Image Awards.
The star of ABC's "Scandal"
picked up a trio of trophies at
the 44th annual ceremony:
outstanding actress in a drama
series for "Scandal," support-
ing actress in a motion picture
for "Django Unchained" and
the President's Award, which
is given in recognition of spe-
cial achievement and excep-
tional public service.
"This award does not belong
to me," said Washington, who
plays a slave separated from
her husband in "Django Un-
chained," as she picked up her
first trophy of the evening for
her role in the film directed by
Quentin Tarantino. "It belongs
to our ancestors. We shot this
film on a slave plantation, and
they were with us along every
step of the way"
Washington, who plays crisis
management consultant Olivia
Pope on "Scandal," serves on
President Barack Obama's
Committee on the Arts and the
Humanities.
Don Cheadle was awarded
the outstanding actor in a com-
edy series trophy for his role
as a management consultant
in Showtime's "House of Lies."
"This doesn't belong just to
me, but I am taking it home
tonight," Cheadle said jokingly
A few winners weren't pres-
ent at the Shrine Auditorium
to pick up their trophies, in-
cluding Denzel Washington for
outstanding actor in a motion
picture for "Flight," Viola
Davis for outstanding actress
in a motion picture for "Won't
Back Down" and Omar Epps
for supporting actor in a drama
series for Fox's "House."
"Red Tails," the drama
about the Tuskegee Airmen,
was honored as outstanding
motion picture.
"Look! I beat Quentin
Tarantino," beamed "Red
Tails" executive producer
George Lucas as he accepted
the award.

Post-'30 Rock' world


Outlook grim

for future

sitcoms

JAKE COYLE
AP entertainment writer

NEW YORK The void
you're looking at on your DVR
is the sitcom landscape
post-"30 Rock."
When Tina Fey's bright,
bouncy, irreverent showbiz
send-up aired its last episode
Thursday night, a light
(Kenneth's toothy grin?) went
out in broadcast television.
"30 Rock" was not perfect:
It sometimes spun its wheels
and its writing was often too
showy. But "30 Rock" was the
clear sitcom heir to "Sein-
feld," pushing comedy for-
ward by fusing the
relationship set-up of "The
Mary Tyler Moore Show" with
the flashback jump-cutting of
the single-camera "Arrested
Development." Its snappy,
joke-packed universe was
tightly controlled and capable
of going anywhere a fiction
funhouse version of Fey's
"Weekend Update" social
satire. Oh, and it had Alec
Baldwin.
With "30 Rock" leaving the
air, the sitcom again finds it-
self at a crossroads. Though


acclaimed and award-
winning, "30 Rock" was never
highly rated. Sitcom fans and
creators alike can reasonably
wonder if such a show as "30
Rock" had trouble finding
viewers, what chance do
other quality sitcoms have?
The end of "30 Rock" her-
alds a sitcom shift, particu-
larly in NBC's long-running
Thursday night block a
grand tradition that includes
"Cheers," "The Cosby Show"
and "Seinfeld." "Park and
Recreation" and "Commu-
nity" have cloudy futures, and
the long-running "The Office"
will finally end soon. Else-
where, CBS's "How I Met
Your Mother," a studio audi-
ence vestige, is preparing its
final season.
But actually quite a lot of
broadcast sitcoms are run-
ning now, including "The Big
Bang Theory," "Whitney,"
"Happy Endings," "2 Broke
Girls," "The Mindy Project"
and the recently premiered
and somewhat promising
White House farce "1600
Penn."
Whatever the value of the
shows, it's a great time for in-
dividual comedic perform-
ances: Rainn Wilson on "The
Office"; Julia-Louis Dreyfus
on "Veep"; Chris Pratt on
"Parks"; Neil Patrick Harris
on "How I Met Your Mother";
Julie Bowen on "Modern
Family."


The flight to cable hasn't
been as pronounced in sit-
coms as it has been in
hourlong dramas, but the
trend is going that way On
cable, niche sitcoms like "It's
Always Sunny in Philadel-
phia," "The League" and
"Archer" have pushed the
boundaries of taste, reveling
in their freedom.
But there are only two
must-watch comedies on TV
now that "30 Rock" is over
Both are on cable and both
draw more from independent
film than from sitcom history:
Louis C.K.'s "Louie" (cur-
rently on hiatus for FX) and
Lena Dunham's "Girls" on
HBO (maybe you've heard a
thing or two about it).
"30 Rock" always skewered
its own small stature at NBC
and it went out that way, too.
In the finale, Fey's Liz Lemon
pitches the newly minted
NBC president Kenneth Par-
cell (Jack McBrayer) a show
exactly like "30 Rock." He has
no interest, though, in a show
about "an angry New York
crankypants."
The episode ends with a vi-
sion of a future with flying
cars where a network execu-
tive (an age-defying Kenneth)
happily bankrolls a show such
as "30 Rock" from Lemon's
great-granddaughter
If that's what it will take for
a successor to "30 Rock," we
better start making cars fly.


Women's TV marathon


Super Bowlprogramming shows ID's irreverence


DAVID BAUDER
AP television writer

NEW YORK Men might
want to take note if their loved
one turns to the Investigation
Discovery network Sunday for
Super Bowl counterprogram-
ming, where a marathon of
"Wives With Knives" episodes
will run during the game.
It is a typically colorful pro-
gramming choice by a young net-
work that has grown quickly
because of them.
Five years into its life, the net-
work devoted to true crime and
mystery stories has attracted
new fans so rapidly its chief ex-
ecutive, Henry Schleiff, boldly
predicts it will be the top-rated
cable TV network within three
or four years.
The five "Wives With Knives"
episodes tell stories of five dif-
ferent women who stabbed their
husbands or boyfriends, some-
times killing them, sometimes
not. The women are all inter-
viewed by criminologist Casey


Birthday You might find yourself far more restless
in the year ahead than you've been in the past, which
in most cases should work to your advantage.
Sometimes, however, it could cause you to be
inconsistent.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don't kid yourself
about certain goals you'd like to achieve. If you do,
there's a good chance you'll establish some targets
beyond your abilities.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) The one thing you def-
initely don't want to be is your own worst enemy.
When your better judgment tells you not to do
something, you darn well better take heed.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -Avoid putting yourself in
an uncomfortable position of being obligated to an-
other. You could easily buckle under the pressure and
agree to do something that's counterproductive
for you.


Jordan.
Judging by the titles of ID's
programs, the free-wheeling
meetings where titles are pro-
posed would make a fascinating
program itself. Schleiff claims
credit or blame for "Wives
With Knives."
ID's audience is 61 percent
women, perhaps counterintu-
itive given the nature of its pro-
gramming. But many women are
big fans of mystery and suspense
novels, Schleiff said.
Investigation Discovery began
life five years ago this week,
after parent Discovery
Communications bought out the
stake of the then-Discovery
Times network it shared with
The New York Times. That net-
work averaged some 80,000
viewers at any point during the
day, according to the Nielsen
company Since its relaunch, ID
has grown viewers each month
to the point where it averaged
669,000 viewers in January,
Nielsen said. In 55 million
homes five years ago, it will be


Today's HOROSCOPE =
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Be extremely careful not
to make a promise you won't want to keep, such as
agreeing to share with a friend some rewards that you
have coming to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) You need to be selec-
tive about who you ask to help you complete a critical
task. Avoid anybody who has a tendency of telling
everybody else what to do and when.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your ability to judge
character is a bit iffy at present. If you're not careful,
you could easily make yourself vulnerable by placing
your faith in someone who doesn't warrant it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you hope to maintain har-
mony on the home front, both you and your mate
must be prepared to make some painful concessions.
Sacrifice mustn't be one-sided.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You're the type of person
who often goes out of your way to be helpful or of


in 85 million by the end of
March.
With its female, primarily
older audience, Investigation
Discovery has done a good job
reaching a group of people who
watches TV heavily, said Brad
Adgate, an analyst for Horizon
Media. It reaches for reality-
based programming the same
type of people interested in
CBS' prime-time shows, he said.
It has the chance to become
one of Discovery Communica-
tions' most profitable networks,
Adgate said. He believes the
prediction of the network being
No. 1 in cable over the next few
years is too optimistic, though.
ID scores high in Nielsen's
measurement of "length of view-
ing," an obscure statistic adver-
tisers love: it means the
network's viewers tend to hang
around longer than they do at
other places. It also indicates
the network has an attractive
identity in itself, that viewers
are tuning in more to ID than to
specific shows.


service to another. However, today you might reverse
that and select pals for what they can do for you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you're not budget- con-
scious, you fail to manage your resources as wisely
as you should. Avoid spending money that you know
you'll need later.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be careful not to treat
subordinates in an arrogant manner. If you do, it'll
make them eager to even the score, and they'll find a
way to do so as soon as possible.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) To your credit,
you're usually tolerant of anybody who isn't in accord
with your thinking. Today, however, you might have to
be even more understanding than usual.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don't let yourself be
pressured by friends into making a commitment or
doing something you really can't afford. If you do,
you'll end up being angry with everyone involved.

Crystal River's past, present


Mayor Jim Farley outlines city's 2012 accomplishments and 2013 goals


As we look forward to a
new year and what we
want to accomplish, it's
important to review
where we have been
and the goals we set
for this city.
In 2008, the city
contracted with the
firm MYTOWN
TEAM Consultants .
Inc. for the develop-
ment of "A Visioning \
Plan for the Down-
town." The firm has
more than 40 years Jim
combined govern- Gl
ment and private sec- COI
tor experience
specializing in,
among other things, commu-
nity planning and revitaliza-
tion, visioning, and citizen
involvement and participation.
The purpose of the plan was
to identify constraints and op-
portunities for the downtown
area that were of importance
to the local business commu-
nity, residents, visitors, the City
and the CRA.
An extensive effort was
made to draw input from resi-
dents, business people, visitors
and city officials. To that end,
the consultants conducted 38
interviews with stakeholders,
online surveys with 19 partici-
pants, community open houses
with 70 participants, Manatee
Festival visitor questionnaires
with 577 respondents, and a
"Day of Visioning" charrette
involving 45 participants.
Based on the research gath-
ered, the consultants' final
plan contained a list of recom-
mended projects:


F
LJ
LL


Install signage.
Decorative signage includ-
ing the city's logo has been
completed in the
.. downtown area.
This includes at-
tractive wayfaring
signage clearly
identifying the visi-
tor opportunities
available. Addition-
V A ally in 2012, the city
began a historic
marker program,
which uses the
barley same sign design
EST and coloration as
U MN the wayfaring signs.
S Enhance
streetscape on
Citrus Avenue.
Work is complete on South
Citrus. The road was re-
engineered to create a traffic
calming curve. Decorative
streetlights were installed with
the city logo. Sidewalks were
redone with pavers. Trees
were planted and decorative
benches, trash cans and bicycle
stands installed. Also, work is
planned to make the ambiance
of North Citrus as similar as
possible to the south side.
A bid award recommenda-
tion will be given to council in
April. Construction will begin
in June and be completed in
September.
Create inviting sidewalks
and storefronts.
As mentioned, paver tile
sidewalks have been installed
on South Citrus. The CRA has
a facade improvement grant
program. We should make a
greater effort to urge down-
town business owners to take


advantage of it.
Walkability, hiking and
safety.
A pedestrian crosswalk has
been installed on North Citrus
by Heritage Village. Decora-
tive crosswalks are planned
for the intersection of U.S. 19
and Citrus Avenue.
It has long been planned
once construction has been
completed on Cutler Spur, a
multi-use trail will be con-
structed connecting the Cross-
Town Trail with Fort Island
Trail. The contract to approve
construction should be ap-
proved this month, and work is
expected to take up to a year
In 2012, the city partnered
with a private citizen to de-
velop her concept of a Historic
Cell Phone Walking Tour. The
tour went operational Oct. 2
and has had 122 hits since
then.
The consultants posed the
question, "What kind of events
and physical changes are
needed to encourage more use
of the parks and connect them
to the downtown?"
In 2012, the CRA conducted
a field trip workshop where
members physically went to
each of our parks and con-
ducted a visioning session at
each. The CRA determined the
restrooms and a kayak launch
were needed at King's Bay
Park, and construction has
been completed on both.
The CRA also agreed the
park is an ideal setting for a
band shell/performance stage.
This is also envisioned as a
way to draw more people to
the park. Construction is ex-


pected to begin in August.
At Hunter's Spring Park,
CRA members envisioned raz-
ing the unattractive restrooms
that block a view of the water
and locating more esthetic
restrooms away from the water
line. Also, expanded parking
and improvements to the
swimming area were
discussed.
This year, shoreline harden-
ing will begin to combat ero-
sion. The design process will
also commence this year.
The consultant report
pointed out the city code did
not provide for mixed-use de-
velopment. In 2012, the code
was changed to allow mixed
use in the CRA area and along
the U.S. 19 business corridor.
In 2012, the city purchased
property on Northwest First
Avenue for $160,000 for River-
walk parking. We have in-
stalled 22 parking spaces
there.
So, much has been accom-
plished by following our Vi-
sioning Plan, yet much
remains to be done. Going for-
ward, this plan will continue to
be our guiding force.
Recently, Commissioner
Dennis Damato went public
with a plan suggesting many
things we have already accom-
plished or have in the plan-
ning stages. Yet there are some
new ideas, as well. A city coun-
cil workshop is scheduled to
review both plans in detail.
For projects that appear in
both, we will welcome addi-
tional funding.

Janet Masaoy inspiring woman with a cause


Hang around here
long enough and
one meets all sorts
of people with all sorts of
causes. Some people find a
cause and ram it into the
ground. Others use their
cause for political or finan-
cial gain.
Oftentimes, the cause is
really terrific but doesn't
exactly go against the
grain. There are people in
our community, for exam-
ple, who are tireless advo-
cates for the hungry,


homeless and poor.
It is rare indeed, how-
ever, when someone comes
along and leads a cause
that touches a nerve. The
person rallies supporters,
shows up at meetings with
handwritten signs, opposes
politicians and the well-
financed, and conducts re-
search like a graduate stu-
dent.
I've known a few of those
throughout the years. One
stands out: Janet Masaoy
I don't recall when I met


Janet, but I really don't re-
member a time when I did
not know her. Janet, a pe-
tite Pine Ridge woman,
founded a group in the mid-
1990s called Citizens Op-
posed to the Suncoast
Tollway, or COST
COST wasn't just another
"anti" group. It didn't raise
a stink because it enjoyed
the attention. No, COST
was smack in the middle of
one of the biggest debates
this county has ever seen,
one that raged off and on


for a decade: whether or
not to build the Suncoast
Parkway 2 through Citrus
County.
Janet, who died Jan. 25,
was more than the COST
founder. She was its face
and field general. Hun-
dreds of people, attracted
to the cause and Janet's ge-
nial but forceful demeanor,
followed in her steps. The
group at one time had 5,000
signatures on a petition

See Page C03


Let's


not


be so


vague

he world of politi-
cal correctness
has now reached
across all social and cul-
tural barriers.
Even the fortune
cookies at my favorite
Crystal River Chinese
restaurant have become
lame and non-offensive.
Instead of offering a for-
tune or giving direction,
today's fortune cookies
offer wimpy and obtuse
messages.
No wonder the coun-
try is such a mess.
My most recent for-
tune cookie message
told me: "The eye of the
master will do more
work than both his
hands."
Hey, I just finished
two egg rolls, some pork
fried rice and a beer. I
don't have any idea what
this fortune cookie
writer is talking about
My wife's message
was even less clear:
"Freed from desire, then
you can see the hidden
mystery"
I don't see any mys-
tery I just see two dogs
that want their share of
the pork and fried rice.
This is Citrus County.
We're not good with
these vague messages
and nonsensical
innuendos.
We need concise di-
rections and recommen-
dations. We need you to
get to the point.
Remember, this is the
place where we elected
Scott Adams to the
county commission, be-
cause he says just what
he thinks. When the
county administrator
presents a budget that
needs cutting, Adams
immediately recom-
mends getting rid of the
administrative staff that
created the budget.
That would save
money and it is certainly
clear. You may not agree
with his conclusion, but
you definitely know
what he's talking about.
We need fortune cook-
ies that get right to the
point.
So in the name of
being clear and concise,
here are the top 10 rec-
ommendations for Chi-
nese restaurant fortune
cookies for Citrus
County
1. Get off the couch,
turn off the TV and go
get a job. (Very clear
with good direction).
2. Quit cheating when
you write down your golf
score. All your friends
are sick of you. (Big
problem in Citrus
County).
3. Don't wear that
dress again, it makes
you look fat. (You know
you've wanted to say
that).
4. You should not try
to speak on your cell-
phone and drive at the
same time. You are not a
good driver without the
cellphone. (This covers
about 25 percent of our
population).
5. Be nice to your chil-
dren or they won't visit
you when you get older.
(Makes the conse-
quences very clear).

he U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is
moving forward with
plans to improve the Three
Sisters Springs property in
Crystal River.
After the successful public
purchase of the property two
years ago, the federal agency
- which offi-
cially leases the THE I
property from the
city of Crystal Three
River needs to Spring:
complete a devel-
opment plan so OUR 01

We want to go
on record as sup-
porting the proposal to build
an official Three Sisters
Springs welcome center on
U.S. 19 as opposed to locat-
ing it on the actual spring's
property.
In our view, the best option
is to buy one of the under-
utilized shopping centers on
U.S. 19 and turn it into a
parking area and welcome
center for Three Sisters.
Tourists then could walk or
be shuttled to the property.
The proposal makes sense
for a number of reasons.
It would protect the envi-
ronmentally sensitive prop-
erty from having a concrete
footprint on the land.
It also would provide a
better technique of handling
traffic congestion that would
inevitably take place during
heavy tourist times. The
shopping center location
would demonstrate FWS is
acting in a sensitive way to-
ward residents who live in
the area.
From a tourism stand-
point, the U.S. 19 location
makes even better sense. As
we have learned with the
Homosassa Springs Wildlife
State Park, a welcome and
information center on U.S.
19 is the best way to pull the

largest number of visitors to

hold true for Three Sisters.
With an upcoming display

azine, we all know Three

one of the hottest eco-
tourism destinations in the
country. We need

From an eco-

off U.S. 19 on the
front and Cutler Spur on the
back would build momentum
for redevelopment of the city.
The concept of building a
tourism welcome center on
U.S. 19 for Three Sisters will
have to be endorsed by FWS.
But it will most likely re-
quire a combination of fed-
eral, state and local dollars
to make this happen. It will
also require the current
owners of the shopping cen-
ters to have realistic sale
prices based on the 2013 real
estate market.
For the record, we think
the welcome center pro-
posal for U.S. 19 makes good
sense.
And for the record, plans
need to be in place to have
Three Sisters open to the
public by the end of 2013.
Tourists from all over are
looking for access. The
Southwest Florida Water
Management District should
be complete with its storm
water project by the end of
the summer and the city's
Cutler Spur improvement
work should be done by the
end of 2013.
Public access is needed
and a U.S. 19 partnership
with the City of Crystal River
is the best way to go.


= Hot Corner: TOASTED MANATEE =


Keep printing
stupid stuff
This is Tuesday (Jan. 29). I
was reading all the comments
about the "Toasted manatees."
Don't blame the Chronicle for
printing such funny stuff. We
need a good laugh. God knows
there's not much to laugh about
nowadays and they say laughter
is the best medicine. Keep on
printing stupid stuff and show
people how stupid they are and
give us a good laugh.
As Gilda would say:
'Nevermind'
I wanted to say I got a big
kick out of the "Toasted mana-
tee" article the first time it ap-
peared. It was obviously a joke,
to me. I was surprised to see so
many people in Citrus County
couldn't recognize it was a joke.
I don't think there was a need to


apologize for it at all. As
"Roseanne Roseannadanna" on
"Saturday Night Live" would say,
"Nevermind," to all the people
that didn't understand the joke.
Time to get over it
Now I see in today's paper
(Jan. 29) where people are com-
plaining about you guys at the
Sound Off putting in the
"Toasted manatee" caller or
writer or whatever he did. I read
that one. That one was funny. I
got a very good chuckle out of
that. So these people (who)
can't understand the guy was
obviously joking, they are the
ones (who) need to go back
where they came from. We
don't need stick in the muds
here in Citrus County. We need
people with a sense of humor
(who) can go with the flow of
things. They just need to get
over themselves.

Moral grandstanding's price


WASHINGTON
Politics becomes amusing
when liberalism becomes
theatrical with high-
minded gestures.
Chicago's government, which
is not normally known
for elevated thinking, is
feeling so morally up-
right and financially
flush it proposes to rise
above the banal busi-
ness of maximizing the ,
value of its employees'
and retirees' pension
fund assets. Although
seven funds have cu- .
mulative unfunded lia-
bilities of $25 billion, Geo
Chicago will sacrifice 01
the growth of those as- Vc
sets to strike a political
pose so pure, it is un-
tainted by practicality.
Emulating New York and Cal-
ifornia, two deep blue states
with mammoth unfunded pen-
sion liabilities, Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel has hectored a
$5 billion pension fund into di-
vesting its holdings in compa-
nies that manufacture firearms.
Now, he is urging two large
banks to deny financing to such
companies "that profit from
gun violence." TD Bank pro-
vides a $60 million credit line to
Smith & Wesson, and Bank of
America provides a $25 million
line to Sturm, Ruger &
Company
Chicago's current and retired
public employees might wish
the city had invested more in
both companies.
Barack Obama, for whom
Emanuel was chief of staff, has
become a potent gun salesman
because of suspicions he wants
to make gun ownership more
difficult. Since he was inaugu-
rated four years ago, there have
been 65 million requests for
background checks of gun pur-
chasers. Four years ago, the
price of Smith & Wesson stock
was $2.45. Last week, it was
$8.76, up 258 percent. Four


years ago, the price of Sturm
Ruger stock was $6.46.
Last week, it was $51.09, up 691
percent.
The Wall Street Journal re-
ports even before "a $1.2 billion
balloon payment
for pensions comes
due" in 2015,
"Chicago's pension

projected to run
dry by the end of
the decade, are
scraping the bot-
toms of their
barrels."
Nevertheless,
rge Will liberals are feeling
rHER good about them-
ICES selves the usual
point of liberalism
because New
York state's public pension fund
and California's fund for teach-
ers have, The New York Times
said, "frozen or divested" gun
holdings. In February, Calpers,
the fund for other California
public employees, may join this
gesture jamboree. All this is
being compared to the use of di-
vestment to pressure South
Africa to dismantle apartheid
in the 1980s. Well.
Apartheid was a wicked prac-
tice. Guns are legal products in
America, legally sold under fed-
eral, state and local regulations.
Most of the guns sold to Ameri-
cans are made by Americans.
Americans have a right a
constitutional right to own
guns, and 47 percent of Ameri-
can households exercise that
portion of the Bill of Rights by
possessing at least one firearm.
For Emanuel to say gun mak-
ers "profit from gun violence" is
as sensible as saying automo-
bile manufacturers "profit from
highway carnage" which, by
the way, kills more Americans
than guns do. Emanuel, who is
more intelligent than he sounds
(just as many think Wagner's
music is better than it sounds),
must know not one fewer gun

will be made, sold or misused
because Chicago is wagging its
finger at banks.
Moral grandstanding, how-
ever, offers steady work and
The Chronicle of Higher Edu-
cation reports a new front in
"the battle against climate
change": "Student groups at al-
most 200 colleges and universi-
ties are calling on boards of
trustees to divest their colleges'
holdings in large fossil-fuel
companies."
Of course, not one share of
those companies' stock will go
unsold because academia is so
righteous. Others will profit
handsomely from such holdings
and from being complicit in
supplying what the world
needs. Fossil fuels, the basis of
modern life, supply 82 percent
of U.S. energy, and it is pro-
jected they will supply 78 per-
cent of the global increase in
energy demand between 2009
and 2035, by which time the
number of cars and trucks on
the planet will have doubled to
1.7 billion.
Institutions of higher educa-
tion will, presumably, warn
donors their endowments will
be wielded in support of the po-
litical agenda du jour, which
might include divesting from
any company having anything
to do with corn, source of the
sweetener in many of the sodas
that make some people fat and
New York's mayor cranky Or
anything to do with red meat,
sugar, salt, trans fats, chickens
not lovingly raised.
Liberal ethicists may decide
the only virtuous investments
are in electric cars. The Obama
administration said 1 million
will be sold by 2015. Maybe
70,000 have been so far. Just
imagine how pension funds will
prosper by betting on the next
930,000.

LETT

Gun control won't
stop murders


As one of your dedicated
constituents, I would like to
take a moment to express my
opinion on the concerns over
gun control.
For 35 years, I was a deputy
sheriff with the Hillsborough
County Sheriff's Office, retir-
ing as the master sergeant of a
detective squad. During my
time of service, 10 of those
years were in the position of
homicide detective. In that po-
sition, my investigations re-
sulted in sending two serial
murderers to death row for
separately killing 13 young
ladies and several mass killers
to Florida prisons for life.
Let me explain just one of
the mass murders to help de-
fine my opinion on the new
gun control movement.
During the Fourth of July
holiday in 1982, a criminal
walked into a grocery store,
splashed a bucket of gasoline
on one of the checkout lanes
and set it on fire. Five young
ladies were within the area of
explosion and received the
most serious of burn injuries.
The ladies, who were from the
ages of 4 years old to 28 years
old, suffered indescribable in-
tense pain as they died, one by
one, during the next 30 days.


Nearly 30 others were injured
in this senseless criminal act
I lack the ability to create a
written document that can de-
scribe the atrocity of this viola-
tion of criminal and moral
laws. Had these ladies been
shot to death, they would not
have been in a hospital bed for
days, for weeks, for nearly a
month, screaming in pain and
begging to die to end their suf-
fering. Even the 4-year-old cry-
ing and screaming, as she
continually pulled out the
tubes connected to her charred
body while she called for her
mother, who was screaming in
pain in the next room, would
not have suffered until death.
No firearm was used in this


horrible crime, just as none
was used in the Oklahoma Fed-
eral Building bombing that
took 168 lives, including 19
children under the age of 6.
One does not need a firearm to
commit a mass murder.
When I look over my years in
homicide, the tools to kill others
covers a wide range of items in-
cluding yard tools, kitchen uten-
sils, knives, swords, bare hands,
drowning and firearms. I do not
believe changing our laws that
cover the ownership of firearms
and their accessories will do
anything to help reduce our
murders. Those using these
tragedies to fuel their personal
desire for firearm restrictions
should look at the need to iden-
tify and assist those in our soci-
ety who have the mental health
issues that create the reason for
these incidents. We need to
help identify those in need and
stop the crime before it can
occur
My request on this issue is
for you to please oppose any of
these bills being presented
that would place restrictions
on our firearms. There is no
need to amend the Constitu-
tion; it should continue to
stand strong. Thank you for
your assistance.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Meet my brand-new buddy, Bertie


A s I've disclosed
in previous
columns, I con-
tinue to work on my
novel, At the Bottom
of Biscayne Bay. I've
already learned much
from this experience
and continue to learn
more.
The two most com- Fred B
spelling things I now A SI
know is, just how OF
much fun writing a
book is and just how
exasperating finding a publisher
can be. I've written to dozens of
agents and have received sev-
eral marvelously complimen-
tary letters, which have all
ended with kind rejections.
I know I'm prejudiced, but it's
a pretty good book. It's autobio-
graphical fiction. I'm the protag-
onist and the dramatic core is a


saga of the state
banking department
throwing a bad guy
out as owner of a
bank in Miami. This
core is wrapped in a
love story and the en-
tire book carries a
muted inspirational
theme as to how God
rannen remains in control of
LICE all things, regardless.
IFE Cheryl speaks
softly, but not long
ago, she pulled out a
big stick.
And, I quote, "I'm tired of
watching you work and hearing
you talk about your book. I'm
ready to see it in print."
It can be done. With modern
technology, self-publication can
be done professionally and per-
haps even profitably. To keep
Cheryl from using her stick, I've


begun to explore the possibili-
ties of forming my own publica-
tion company It's easy enough to
engage folks to do almost every-
thing from edits to layouts to
printing a final copy and even
making the finished product
ready for sale as an ebook.
What gives me the heebie-jee-
bies is the permissionss"
process. The First Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution is a god-
send for writers. It is highly un-
usual for a case to ultimately be
won by a plaintiff; still, the legal
fees can kill you.
I've started to study what is
commonly done to address
things such as the use of a per-
son's name and to avoid violat-
ing copyrights. I've found many
sources suggest simply contact-
ing folks and asking for permis-
sion. In this regard, while I'm
still fishing in the big publisher


pond, I've begun to systemati-
cally seek permissions. Thus far,
without exception, I've been
pleasantly surprised by rapid
and positive responses. But one
reply in particular thrilled me.
"Wrapped around each other,
trying so hard to stay warm, that
first cold winter together,
lying in each others arms,
watching old movies, falling in
love desperately, honey, I was
your hero,
you were my leading lady! We
had it all...." Key Largo, Bertie
Higgins, 1981.
My chapter 36 is entitled
Wrapped Around Each Other. It
not only quotes Bertie Higgins'
lyrics, but elaborates on how the
first winter my Cheryl and I
shared was so very much like
the song Higgins would write 15
years later.
With less difficulty than I ex-


pected, I found Higgins' email
address. I brazenly forwarded to
him a copy of the chapter with a
letter politely asking permission
to use his work in my novel. I
thought it would take several
days for a response and I wasn't
at all sure he'd agree. To my
amazement, within 24 hours, he
sent back a most personable
reply, wishing me well with the
book and giving me absolute au-
thority to use his material.
I fully anticipate during the
permissions process I will meet
with some disappointments and
when I do, I'll deal with them.
But, at least in this case, I feel as
though I've made a friend in my
brand-new buddy, Bertie!

The difficulties in
achieving rapid VA action

were also discussed at
this meeting and led the
CCVAB to take action by
preparing a 28-page
White Paper that clearly
describes historical and
current problems in the
claims system with board
recommendations for
improvement.
"I was tasked to prepare
the White Paper," CCVAB
Vice Chairman John Stew-

was shocked during my
research to see VA statis-

failed in the support of

When Janet noted the state's own
study showed a net 6,000 cars a day
would be using the parkway from
one end of Citrus to the other, proj-
ect backers said they believed the
study except that part.
The state, hoping to find some

mine a parkway corridor The group

She simply believed in a cause and
refused to budge an inch. There was
no compromise. The road would ei-
ther be built or it wouldn't. Details
beyond that were immaterial.
When the economy bottomed out
in 2009 and the state announced it
was indefinitely suspending the
parkway project, Janet was de-
lighted with the news. But she knew
it was only a matter of time for the
road plans to return.
And that's exactly what is happen-
ing. In a very low-key approach, the
state is buying right of way and it
seems the parkway is a foregone con-

JOHN GRANNAN
Special to the Chronicle

For those wanting to
know more about Citrus
County history, a book
written almost 60 years
ago will introduce the
reader to some memo-
rable characters from the
county's past.
The most interesting one
has to be the author, Judge
Ellis Connell May, who ar-
rived in the county in 1892
and authored two books,
which give the reader a re-
alistic look at the frontier
atmosphere and the peo-
ple who created it
The book is titled
"Gaters, Skeeters &
Malary" with a subtitle of
"Recollections of a
Florida Pioneer Judge."
E. C. May served as
county judge for 24 years
with a stint as a state rep-
resentative and state at-
torney Before he became
a judge, he was a popular
merchant in Hernando,
Dunnellon and Inverness.
He begins his story
with a vivid description of
his humble beginnings on
a farm in South Georgia
where he said he re-
ceived a better-than-
average education for the
time. He began teaching
school at age 15 and did
so until he was 17. He left
teaching when he de-
cided to become a pho-
tographer. He left home
for good when he was 20
and ended up living in
the rough North Florida
frontier towns of Bran-
ford and High Springs.
After arriving in the
new town of Inverness in
1892, he found different
ways to make a living,

his store to Dunnellon,
which was even rougher
and wilder than Her-
nando and full of interest-
ing characters. After a
move to California, he re-
turned to Citrus County
where he had a store in
Inverness and decided to
study law in 1915.
Being the self-made
man he was, he read law
books and took corre-
spondence courses. He
passed the Florida Bar in
1919 and began a formal
practice of law. Before
that happened, he was

Continued from Page C1

This council is dedicated to working together to not
only keep Crystal River as special as it is, but to con-
tinue to make it better. City staff is equally dedicated,
and the men and women who work here deserve
recognition for all they do every day to make city gov-
ernment efficient and welcoming to residents and vis-
itors. City council, the city manager and his staff, and
the CRA will continue to provide the leadership to
make our vision plan a reality and Crystal River the
best city of its size in the state.
I've said it many times, and I'll say it many times
again: I've lived in many places in my life, but
nowhere like Crystal River I would never want to live
anywhere else.

In honor of women in
the military
Thank you for the very in-
formative Jan. 26 Associated
Press article, "Women In Com-
bat," describing little known in-
stances of women who have
served and died on our nation's
battlefields.
These women served as
nurses, cooks, laundresses and
spies in the Revolutionary War
and they carried George Wash-
ington's messages across enemy
lines to his generals. A few hun-
dred disguised themselves as
men to fight during the Civil War
The creation of the Army
Nurse Corps came in response


m @ i onki ai


to the struggle against disease
in the Spanish-American War,
Navy nurses followed in 1908.
World War II was the turning
point that earned women full-
fledged military status. In 1948,
after fierce debate, Congress
approved allowing women to
serve in the regular forces of all
branches of the service.
Also, there are more than
200,000 women serving in the
U.S. military now 15 percent
of a force of 1.4 million. Sadly,
152 U.S. women in uniform have
died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a member of the American
Legion Auxiliary, Post 155, I am
making a request to the public
if any of these deceased mili-


tary women had roots in Citrus
County, such as living here and
going to school, and were killed
by enemy fire in the Gulf wars,
Afghanistan, World War I, World
War II, the Korean War and the
Vietnam War then they will
be honored by the American
Legion Auxiliary and at the
local Fallen Heroes Monument.
If you know of any U.S. woman
military patriot killed please
write to: PO. Box 2084, Crystal
River FL. 34423.

COMMENTARY


Not politically correct
It's time we stopped 1
this political correct- 0
ness stuff. It only helps
those (who) are cheat-
ing, (who) are crimi-
nals. (Why do) you have !
to be extra good to
them? Forget it. They
need to toe the line like CAL
everybody else. No 56Q
more political correct- UU"
ness stuff. I'm quitting
it.
Cholesterol primer
A family member was re-
cently diagnosed with low good
cholesterol and was told it was
(a) serious condition. Would
possibly one of the doctors
write an article about that?
Satan law on the
move
Oklahoma law passed 37-9
to place the Ten Command-
ments on the front entrance to
the state capitol as findings in
D.C., along with the ACLU, said
it would be a mistake. A mis-
take for who? Satan? Lots of
states are following Satan law,
but guess what? Oklahoma did
it anyway. Yes! Will Florida be
next? It appears the South can
rise up once again.


More Sound Off

I wanted to thank you for ex-
panding the space allotted to

My mom and I were talking just
yesterday; it's our favorite part

Jobs available
ND^ I'm calling in regards
JN to the Workforce Con-
A nection and the 600 jobs
and people not under-
standing people aren't
qualified for a lot of the
jobs on there. A lot of
the jobs are for nursing
and rehab specialists
57Q9 and things of that na-
) i 7 ture. Yes, there's a lot of
jobs open in this county,
but a lot of people don't have
nursing degrees or the type of
degrees needed. So, yes, there is
a gap in the experience of people
and what jobs they can fill. But
the jobs are out there. There are
many nursing homes and hospi-
tals and rehab places that do
need the help, but nobody goes
to these places. So the jobs are
out there and if you look on the
One Stop Workforce's website,
you'll see how many jobs are
available in Citrus County.
Bloated government
I live on approximately
$13,000 a year Social Security
and out of that, the bloated
government takes $1,500 a
year for health insurance. But
the governor and his wife only
paid $400 a year or less? It's
time for reform and the Afford-
able Care Act does not address
these inequities.
Full of pork
This is in response to the
item in Tuesday's paper, Tues-
day, Jan. 29. Someone's com-
plaining Rich Nugent voted
"no" on the Hurricane Sandy
aid relief bill. If this person
had read that bill, they would
have voted "no" also. The ma-
jority of this bill had nothing at
all to do with Hurricane Sandy.
Millions and millions were put
in there as pork for other
things. And I would advise
them to look up this bill and
they would change their mind.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE

SMART
MONEY


Associated Press
A man buys gas Thursday at a station in Los Angeles. Gasoline prices are climbing as rising economic growth boosts oil prices and
temporary refinery outages crimp supplies on the East and West coasts.


Gasoline prices get early start on spring surge


Associated Press


NEW YORK
Gasoline prices are get-
ting an early start on
their annual spring
march higher.
The average U.S. retail price
rose 13 cents over the past two
weeks to $3.42 per gallon, and
within a few days it will likely
set a record for this time of
year.
The culprits: Rising crude
oil prices, slowing output at re-
fineries undergoing mainte-
nance and low supplies of
gasoline.
These are the kinds of things
pushing gasoline prices higher
every spring after what is nor-
mally a lull in gasoline prices
in the late fall and early winter.
But a heavy schedule of Janu-
ary maintenance at West
Coast refineries has led to
sharply higher prices
there. Meanwhile, low in-
ventories have pushed
prices higher on the
East Coast.
And rising crude oil
prices have pushed
prices higher
throughout the
country
"I'm not
surprised
at what


I'm seeing, but I am surprised
it's coming early," said Tom
Kloza, chief oil analyst at the
Oil Price Information Service.
Hopes of stronger economic
growth in the U.S. and abroad
helped push the U.S. stock
market to a five-year high in
January and sent crude prices
up. When economies expand,
more gasoline, diesel and jet
fuel are consumed by shippers
and travelers.
Crude oil has risen 14 percent
since mid-December, to $97.49
on Thursday Brent crude, the
benchmark used to price oil
most U.S. refineries use to make
gasoline, is up 9 percent since
then to
$115.55


But gasoline wholesale
prices are rising even faster.
That's the price distributors
and service stations pay to buy
the gasoline they then sell to
drivers. Wholesale prices in
California are up 56 cents a
20 percent jump -to $3.32 per
gallon, in two weeks, according
to Kloza. Many California driv-
ers soon will see $4 a gallon at
local stations. Smaller but still
substantial jumps are being
seen throughout the country
Retail gasoline prices have
risen for 14 days straight, ac-
cording to AAA. The average
price for the month of January
was $3.32, the second highest
January average ever,
al-





though a nickel
cheaper than last year's
record. In each of the
past two years, gasoline
prices rose sharply at the
beginning of the year, be-
cause tensions in the Middle
East raised fears oil supplies
would be disrupted. In 2011, it
was the Libyan uprising; in
2012, it was Iran's threat to close
a key shipping lane.
So far in 2013, gas has been
cheaper than it was last year.
But that could change by this
weekend as stations pass along
the cost of the higher-priced
gasoline to drivers.
The national average price
has risen in nine of the past 10


February. Last year, gasoline
prices jumped 28 cents, or 8
percent, in February and aver-
aged $3.55 for the month.
Analysts still don't expect
prices to follow last year's
steep path through March that
brought them to a high of $3.94
on April 6. Crude oil supplies
are high, oil production is
booming and the economy isn't
growing very fast. Also, ten-
sions in the Middle East seem
to have eased somewhat.
And consider this as you fill
up on your way to a Super
Bowl party this weekend: The
oil and gas analyst Stephen
Schork notes while gasoline
prices may seem high, they
haven't risen nearly as fast as
tickets to
the big
S game.
"* When
the first
Super
Bowl was played 46 years ago,
gasoline cost about 32 cents
per gallon and Super Bowl
tickets cost $10. Now gasoline
is $3.42 and a seat in a distant
corner of the Superdome costs
$2,236 on the ticket-reselling
site StubHub.
Put another way, a ticket to
the Super Bowl in 1966 was
worth about 31 gallons of gaso-
line then, enough for 2 fill-ups.
A ticket to Sunday's game be-
tween the Baltimore Ravens
and San Francisco 49ers in
New Orleans is worth 650 gal-
lons enough to fill a mid-size
sedan 43 times.
Which makes gasoline, ac-
cording to Schork, "a bargain."


Developing a small business brand


brand is not only a
box of your favorite
cereal. If you're a
small business owner, it can
be the perception the
community has about your
company
Remember the old saying:
Perceptions are everything.
It's true!
If you own a small busi-
ness, your brand is you. It
develops as a result of how
you conduct your business.
It's the image you have in


the public's eyes.
Here are some important
qualities to foster that will
help establish a positive
community impression.
Be unique
There are fundamental
qualities to positive brand
attributes and identity To-
gether, they sum up how
your business is judged by
the audience you serve.
Just as all people are
unique, so your business


brand should be, too. Create
a distinct value in the mind
of the public. Uniqueness is
something you can work to-
ward and own. It can be the
reason your services or
product line instill value and
gain community recognition.
Brand believability
Believability starts with
how well you communicate
the features of your prod-
ucts or service.
Well-articulated advertis-


ing copy and graphics is a
great start. Keep in mind
there are various form of
advertising. Determine
which form works best for
your business i.e., which of
them bring customer re-
sponse. Carry the important
elements of advertising
through all of your sales
conversations.
Reinforce positive serv-
ice and product features

EXPERIENCE
MATTERS


Invest in


financial


education
Dear Bruce: My
mother passed
away in October.
I was the sole benefici-
ary of all her life insur-
ance policies, which
total more than $40,000.
My question is, what
should I do with the
money? I am 50 years
old and have a fairly de-
cent job, with a retire-
ment and a deferred
comp in place of a
401(k). I can retire in six
years. My house will be
paid for by then, and the
only other payment I
have is a car payment
Should I pay off these
loans or invest? I don't
know anything about in-
vesting. Can you point
me in the right direc-
tion? T.M., via email
Dear TM.: You men-
tion you have a mortgage
and it will be paid off
within six years when
you retire. Assuming
your mortgage interest
rate may be higher than
what is available now, I
would pay off the mort-
gage. You mention
you don't know anything
about investing. The best
thing to do is to educate
yourself. If there is any
money left over, put it
into a six-month CD. You
will get almost nothing
for it, but in that six
months, start reading the
investment section of
your local newspaper.
Pick up copies of Money
magazine and Forbes. If
you do this on a regular
basis, you will be sur-
prised how much you
can learn.
With a relatively mod-
est amount of money to
invest, there is no place
you can go to get advice
without some cost If you
choose to use a broker,
make sure you tell him
or her what your toler-
ance for risk is if you
don't know, the broker
will help you decide.
The broker can make up
a sample portfolio show-
ing how your money
would be invested.
Just a note: If you are
risk-averse, you will be
condemned to almost no
return on your
investment.
Dear Bruce: I read
your column each week
in the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution. Your ad-
vice seems to be right on
the money
I am paying off my
mortgage. After the
mortgage company re-
ceives my final payment,
what do I need to do to
ensure it files the
proper paperwork with
the county registrar,
courthouse records,
etc.? Do you have any
advice? ER, Atlanta
Dear EH.: About two
months before your final
payment, contact the
mortgage company, say-
ing you want to make
sure it fills out the
proper paperwork to re-
lease the mortgage. Tell
the mortgage company
you want the paid-off
deed in your possession
when you make the last
payment
When it's time to
make the final payment,
go to the bank in person,
talk to the mortgage rep-
resentative and explain
this is your last payment
and you want to make
sure everything is in
place. Congratulations!

Attention Consum-
ers!
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 li-
cense number in the
ad, you should inquire
about it and be suspi-
cious that you may be
contacting an unli-
censed
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 ques-
tions about business
licensing, please call
your city or county

Blue is an approxi-
mately 8-y.o. neutered
male Cattle Dog mix,
Came to the shelter
because his family
lost their home. Blue
is white and tan,
weighs about 50
pounds, is a bit
chubby for his size,
which is medium. He
is housebroken, very
friendly and affection-
ate. The most striking
thing about him is that
he has very beautiful
blue eyes, which
catch your attention
immediately. He loves
people and wants to
be by your side Is
very obedient and
walks well on a leash.
He is quite laid-back
and would make a
great companion for
an older person.

Guide to Florida plums


Few plants herald the approach of
spring-like weather as do wild
plums. Clothed in their mantle of
snow-white petals, they beckon acknowl-
edgement of the rebirth of a new growing
season.
Florida native plums are
small deciduous trees or
shrubs with rather short trunks
and rounded crowns. Although .
their branches are not thorny,
like some other members of
the rose family (to which they
belong), they commonly pro- B
duce thorny spur shoots. This -
trait, coupled with their dense Joan B]
branches and foliage, makes FLOE
them very useful as hedges or FR|E
screens and valuable as cover
for birds and other wildlife. All LIV
species also exhibit some ten-
dency to spread by root suckers and de-
velop a thicket.
The following is a brief description of
the three plums native to central Florida.
Each of these species can be successfully
grown in our area, but it is necessary to
plant them in a location that will satisfy
their growing requirements.
Chickasaw plum (P angustifolia) is
the toughest and most widely adaptable
member of this threesome. Generally a


multi-trunked shrubby tree, this 20-foot
tall plum occurs throughout north and
central Florida in sandy well-drained
soils.
In Pinellas, it is most frequently seen in
turkey oak/longleaf pine sand-
Shill areas. In the Panhandle,
however, it also occurs in
coastal scrubs and clearly ex-
hibits its moderate tolerance
of salt.
Chickasaw plum is the
species most prone to sucker-
ing and it commonly produces
a thicket in areas where it is al-
adshaw lowed to do so. This trait is
tIDA- ideal if you are growing it as a
IDLY privacy screen or for wildlife
cover, but it can be a nuisance
ING if you are attempting a more
formal look. Flowers bloom in
early spring and the reddish to reddish-
yellow plums ripen by early summer Pro-
duction of the half-inch diameter fruit is
variable each year. They are quite tart,
but are eaten by a wide variety of wildlife
and make a good jelly
Flatwoods plum (P umbellata) is
sometimes called the "forgotten" plum
because it is often overlooked or simply

for the cooler months from
October to March.
Off the southeast and
southwest patio edges,
two standard-form "Ma-
jestic Beauty" Indian
Hawthorn trees are grow-
ing for summer shade.
They mature to 15 feet tall
with a diameter of 10 feet
in 10 to 15 years. These
large-leaved, evergreen
exotic plants have clusters
of pink flowers from
March to December. Be-
tween the future umbrella
trees are three single red
"Knock Out" roses. If
deadheaded, they also
flower from frost to frost.
Initially, I used pine nee-
dles as a top-mulch until
the persistent, pernicious
nutsedge finally suc-
cumbed to repeated doses
of glyphosate herbicide.
This raised bed needed
a strong-growing, peren-
nial, low-maintenance
evergreen ground cover. A
practical and useful choice
is the strawberry plant
Strawberries have been
selected and grown to pro-
duce large sweet fruit.
There are about 12 species
in the Fragaria genus from
temperate northern hemi-
spheres and one from
South America. All need
free-draining, acidic soil
and full sun more than
eight hours a day to flower
well and set fruit No flow-
ers occur if days are longer
than 14 hours. Plants have
been developed to yield
berries over many months.
Wet soil promotes botrytis
fungus. Remove dead
leaves.
Modern garden straw-
berries, FragariaX
ananassa, were bred by
crossing native plants.
Small, bare root runners
are commercially planted
in fall. Potted plants if
fully hardened by being
grown outdoors locally -
can be planted anytime.
Trifoliate leaves have


three leaflets. Margin
edges are toothed. Lush
green and hairy on top,
leaves are whiter beneath.
Leaves form a basal
rosette up to 10 inches di-
ameter. Running stems
shoot from the parent and
plantlets and take root at
the nodes beyond the par-
ent plant's territory Sev-
eral plantlets develop
along the stem. Bags of
bare root plantlets are
available in March and
April.
Flowers are white and
five-petaled, appearing
from December to April lo-
cally in cyme bunches atop
slender stems. The first
terminal flower opensm,
then other flowers develop
on side buds.
Provided there are in-
sects for pollination, a
large, fleshy receptacle
with pits holding a single
seed each will develop.
Pits and seed are clus-
tered heavily toward the
end. The receptacle ripens
as bright red "fruit."
Botanically, fruits have the
seeds on the inside, but
any sweet, fleshy plant re-
productive part is com-
monly considered fruit.
Tomatoes and green pep-
pers are fruit but consid-
ered veggies as they aren't
sweet.
Strawberry plants can
live several years. Remove
year-old plants. Best fruit-
ing is on young plants.
Evergreen strawberries
are a low-growing plant
that will provide total
ground cover without any
decorative top-mulch. The
seasonal fruit is an added
bonus in winter and spring
locally

20th century, new inventions were
pushing society faster than ever be-
fore, causing people to idealize the
Colonial era, when things were
thought to be slower and quieter and
peaceful. As a result, furniture man-
ufacturers started referring to 16th
and 17th century reproductions as
Colonial Revival. The Cochran
Chair Company is listed as a manu-
facturer that sold furniture to other
retail furniture companies.
The name is not yet a manufac-
turer that is sought after in the mar-
ketplace, but that may change in
time. Your piece has a quality look
and represents styles taken from
Dutch furniture of the 17th century
Current potential dollar value is
below $500.
Dear John: I have an old sugar
bowl missing the lid. Sorry I was not
able to get a good photograph. If I
describe it, perhaps you can help. It
is white porcelain with dark blue
flowers on the edge, base, and han-
dles. The flower decoration is not
clear; it almost looks like a factory
flaw, because all the dark blue deco-
ration is completely smeared. The
marks on the bottom are the same;
the only word I can make out is Eng-
land. Can you help with its age and
value? EM., Crystal River
Dear F.M.: As they say, a photo-
graph is worth many words. How-
ever, in this case you have described
it quite well. I am 90 percent sure
you have Flow Blue porcelain. It
was produced in huge quantities in

England and exported to the United
States and other countries. The
smeared looked was intentionally
created in the firing process. Flow
Blue porcelain has been a specific
category of collecting for a long time.
Your sugar bowl was produced in
England as marked about 100 years
ago. If you had the lid, it would sell
in the $150-plus range; as is, the
value is catch-as-catch-can.
Dear John: What should I do with
a trunk full of old toys? You often
suggest it is better to pass things
onto family members, but since
there is no one left, where do I begin
to find out what they might be worth
to collectors? A while back, a friend
of a friend said he would pay $200
for the trunkful. At that point, I al-
most sold the bunch of them but was
just not able to part with it. Please
help me if you can. M.M.,
Homosassa
Dear M.M.: I often suggest passing
things on in the family for two rea-
sons: There is sentimental attach-
ment to the items or often a lack of
current interest by collectors. First,
you need to make a photographic in-
ventory of the toys, along with di-
mensions and any maker's labels
you find. Then send me the photos
and I will point you in the right
direction.

Flowers provide perfect complement to range ofdecor


KIM COOK
Associated Press

Floral fads may ebb and flow,
but the rose's appeal remains
constant, well beyond a Valen-
tine's Day vaseful.
In home decor, roses have long
been a favorite motif, in wallpa-
pers, lace, chintz, and soft silk fur-
nishings such as curtains, bedding
and carpet The versatile rose flo-
ral can impart old-fashioned cot-
tage-y charm, cosmopolitan
elegance, even a certain sexy chic.


English drawing rooms were
rife with rose patterns through-
out the Victorian era, and the
Shabby Chic heyday of the 1990s
saw countless rooms decorated
with faded country roses.
While the rose is quite at home
in traditional spaces, there is an
architectural quality to its
petaled form that fits well with
modern decor, too, and the colors
can be extraordinary
Lindsey Harris of Ann Arbor,
Mich., photographs roses against
white backgrounds, creating


striking, sometimes quirky botan-
ical portraits. In one composi-
tion, she turns the flower heads
upside down; in another she
places a soft plump rose amid

Fast food: Tips for a quicker vegetable harvest


DEAN FOSDICK
Associated Press

Vegetable gardening is
an exercise in patience.
Sweet potatoes can take
more than 100 days to
ripen; some tomato and
watermelon varieties re-
quire five months.
But there are ways to
shorten the wait.
The easiest is choosing
plants that taste best when
harvested young.
"The one thing you will
miss out on with speedy
growing is bulk, but what
you will get in return is


layers of flavor; a sprinkle
of hot and peppery micro-
green radish here, a sweet
and nutty, barely cooked
new potato there, a gar-
nish of cucumber-y borage
flowers to finish a dish,"
writes Mark Diacono in
the new "The Speedy Veg-
etable Garden" (Timber
Press). "These are the
crops that will mark out
your cooking as distinctly
and unquestionably
homegrown."
Timing is everything.

Many vegetables get woodier, less succulent and lose some of their sweet-
ness as they grow more mature. Some, however, like new potatoes, radishes,
baby carrots, zucchini, miniature cucumbers, spring peas, turnips and beets
offer up their best flavors while young.

you'll miss their best moments," says
Diacono, who does his gardening on
a 17-acre plot in Devon, England.
"These are fresh, lively and zingy
flavors, flavors that can either fade
or become bitter and overly strong
as the plant grows on toward
maturity."
Many plants notably fruits -
are genetically wired for late
development.
"Tomatoes, strawberries and ap-
ples all want to be left on the plant
until they are fully ripe to get the
fullest, lushest flavors out of them,"
Diacono says. "Vegetables are a lit-
tle different. Many get woodier, less
succulent and lower in sweetness as
they grow more mature, so really are
at their loveliest picked young."
That would include new potatoes,
radishes, baby carrots, zucchini,

ignored. It is a beautiful and useful
tree, however, and it deserves more
use and recognition.
Unlike the chickasaw, flatwoods
plums are single-trunked trees that
normally reach about 15 feet in
height. Other differences are that
the leaf blades tend to be flat (not
partly folded in half) and the flower-
ing and fruiting tend to occur about
two weeks later. Flatwoods plums
are not tolerant of salt.
This plum is one of the best
choices for landscapes that require
a more formal look or for areas de-
signed as woodland settings. This
tree does well in areas of average
drainage with filtered or partial sun
and its beauty is highlighted at the
edge of a woodland planting when it
is planted in small groups. The red
to yellow plum fruit are tart, yet are
attractive to wildlife and make good
jelly Flatwoods plums are not
widely grown by native plant nurs-
eries at this time, but they are avail-
able if you are willing to shop
around a bit.
Scrub plum (P geniculata) is a
rare plum that occurs naturally only
around the Lake Wales Ridge scrub
area of central Florida.
Listed as an endangered species,

Cut-and-come-again salad leaves
can be clipped in as little as 21 days.
Sprouted seeds mungg beans, mus-
tard, lentils) can become table fare
in just three days.
Check the maturity dates on seed
packets as you shop. Heirloom toma-
toes take 100 days or more to de-
velop while cherry tomatoes need
only about 65 days.
The same goes for squash. Winter
squash (acorn, butternut) generally
require 110 days before they are
kitchen-ready. Summer squash
(crookneck, zucchini), by compari-
son, can be eaten in 55 days or less.
There are many ways to jumpstart
the growing season so you can be
harvesting a meal while other gar-
deners are just beginning to turn the
ground. Among them:
Choose the warmest site possi-
ble if you're planting early "Even a
small change in temperature can
make a difference during spring and

occur naturally in our area, but will
grow well here if planted in deep,
well-drained sandy soils. Its dense
zig-zag branching pattern creates
good wildlife cover for small ani-
mals that spend time near the
ground, but this is offset somewhat
by its tiny leaves. The leaves also
tend to be shed during periods when
the plant becomes water-stressed.
Tiny white flowers bloom profusely
in the early spring and these are fol-
lowed by 1/3-inch long purple fruit
in the early summer.
Scrub plum produces the sweetest
fruit of any of our natives, and these
are eagerly sought by all kinds of
wildlife. This is an interesting shrub
that is reasonably adaptable, but it
must be used in sunny sandy loca-
tions.

fall frosts," says Jo Ann Robbins, an
extension educator with the Univer-
sity of Idaho.
Use enclosures. Covering plants
moderates temperature, wind and
humidity. "Air and soil temperatures
are warmer, and the cover will con-
serve heat radiation from the soil
during the night," Robbins says in a
fact sheet.
Start vegetable plants inside
from seed, and transplant them
eventually into the garden. "Re-
search shows the older the trans-
plants, the better they will resist
cold weather," Robbins says.
Warm the soil early. "Throw a
piece of black or clear polyethylene
over the soil in early spring, pin it
down with tent pegs or bricks, and
wait," Diacono says. "The sun will
warm it and excessive water will be
kept off, leaving it in a fantastically
workable state a few weeks later and
conducive to quick plant growth."

MEN
Dear Sara: My friend informed me
that although she and her husband
are beyond tight with money, they
are going on a trip to Europe. She
just spent the past year slowly up-
dating her wardrobe, swapping all of
her items for newer versions. But


even with her new wardrobe, she
says she MUST go buy more clothes
to wear while away I'm just baffled
why she can't pack what she's al-
ready got in her closet. Do you shop
for new outfit(s)/wardrobe just for
travel? Libby Canada
Dear Libby: I wouldn't buy much
for a trip anywhere. I wouldn't want
to look too flashy while traveling
abroad for fear of being a target for
crime. Plus, packing light is ideal
when traveling. I would want some
extra spending money to possibly
buy some clothing while I am there.
For example, maybe my baggage
gets lost and I'm stuck in track pants
and an oversized T-shirt. I'd proba-
bly buy a new bathing suit or com-
fortable shoes before my trip, but
that's because these are items I need
to replace at the moment and would
use during and after my trip. So no,
I wouldn't buy an entire wardrobe
for a trip, but in a healthy budget sit-
uation, I don't see any problem with
buying a couple of new things (or
even more if it's in the budget). I'm
sure many people would put to-
gether a new travel kit of essentials
such as toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.
If the climate is different, then I can
certainly understand buying other
new items, too.
In your friend's situation, with
money being tight, a trip to Europe
is not a wise decision, and buying an
entirely new wardrobe makes it an
even worse decision. If I were in her
situation, I wouldn't buy anything
new for a trip that was already a fi-
nancial strain and since she has new
clothing in her closet, she should go
without.
But as we all know, people make
their own decisions and get to live


with them. As a friend, I'd ask her if
she still wanted all of her clothes in
her closet with tags on them. I'm kid-
ding! This is a situation where I
don't think you can say much of any-
thing without appearing envious,
and I doubt she'd change anything,
anyway I'd wish her a safe and en-
joyable trip.
Dear Sara: What do you think of
the SodaStream? I want one, but I'm
on the fence. Can you talk me out of
it? -Diana W, Wisconsin
Dear Diana: From a frugal per-
spective, it's not much of a money-
saver (to be fair, it actually never
claims to be). If you're a pop drinker,
it's nice to have reusable bottles and
control over the ingredients. I do
like the actual product itself, and I
can see the appeal for home and
camping use. I have a SodaStream.
It was a gift, and my kids enjoy it I'm
not sure how much use it will get
when we run out of syrups and car-
bonation; it definitely won't be a
high priority on my shopping list. If I
was considering buying a new appli-
ance myself, I have to admit that I
would prefer saving a bit more
money and investing in a Breville
juicer or a Vitamix. I love home ap-
pliances and kitchen gadgets, but I
prefer to have appliances that multi-
task and promote healthier choices.

potatoes


LAWRENCE
DAVIS-HOLLANDER
GRIT magazine

Potatoes are the most
widely consumed veg-
etable in the United
States and, after corn,
wheat and rice, the fourth
most consumed food crop
in the world. While the
West has been the biggest
producer of potatoes, that
distinction now belongs
to the developing world
with China leading the
pack.
In the United States,
per capital consumption
fluctuates and is cur-
rently on the decline, but
we each still manage to
wolf down around 130
pounds of potatoes each
year However, when it
comes to really enjoying
potatoes, that distinction
goes to Belarus, where
350 pounds are eaten per
person annually In 2003,
the United States ranked
38th in per-capita con-


sumption, trailing Russia,
the other countries of the
former Soviet Union,
England and many more.
The potato, Solanum
tuberosum, is a member
of the Solanaceae, or
nightshade family, which
includes many poisonous
species and some com-
mon edible crops like
tomatoes, peppers, egg-
plants and tomatillos, all
of which are fruits. Other
edible solanaceous fruits
include wonderberry,
Turkish eggplant, tree
tomato and naranjilla.
The exact origin of the
potato remains contro-
versial today The domes-
ticated potato had its
origins possibly between
7,000 and 10,000 years ago
at elevations ranging
from 4,000 to 12,000 feet
in the Andes Mountains
of South America, proba-
bly in Peru and Bolivia in
the Lake Titicaca region.

While some archeologi-
cal evidence points to an
even earlier consumption
of wild species, many au-
thorities believe that solid
evidence of domesticated
varieties does not occur
until 4,000 years ago. In the
Andes region, there are lit-
erally thousands of vari-
eties in all different
shapes and colors, and
here is the greatest diver-
sity of both wild species
and cultivated varieties.
What we do know is that
Spanish explorers intro-
duced the Andean variety
of potatoes to their home-
land by 1570, and soon
thereafter the potato
reached southern Europe.
The plant quickly spread
across much of Europe,
and it was illustrated in
many of the 16th century
herbals.
Around 1851, Chauncy
Goodrich, a minister from
Utica, N.Y, decided to
find a better potato. He ob-
tained a number of clones
through the consulate in
Panama. One of these va-
rieties, Rough Purple
Chili, was the most prom-
ising. It is likely this vari-
ety originated from Chile,
possibly brought to
Panama on California-
bound ships.
Working over a number
of years, Goodrich devel-
oped many new varieties,
notably Garnet Chili and
Early Rose. Rough Purple
became the progenitor for
more than 100 North
American cultivars.
Most potato varieties on
the commercial market
today are not heirlooms. A
number of 19th century va-
rieties are still available -
seed exchanges are good
places to find such culti-
vars. Be aware that if you
are not getting certified
virus-free potatoes, there
is a good chance that yields
may be reduced and the
variety may "run down."


Most potato
varieties
on the
commercial
market today
are not
heirlooms. A
number of
19th-century
varieties are
still available.

Below are just a few:
Green Mountain is a
wonderful, irregularly ob-
long, buff-skinned and un-
usually flavorful variety
bred in 1885 by O.H.
Alexander in the Green
Mountains of Vermont.
One of the varieties used
for the original potato
chip, it is well worth grow-
ing even though it is fairly
susceptible to a host of po-
tato diseases.
Burbank potatoes were
bred by Luther Burbank in
1874 from seeds found on a
plant of Early Rose, which
he then sold to John Gre-
gory of the J.J.H. Gregory
Seed Co. of Marblehead,
Mass., for $150. Gregory
named that strain "Bur-
bank's Seedling." Today,
Burbank is by far the most
widely grown potato in the
United States, mainly for
french fries. What is typi-
cally grown is Russet Bur-
bank, which is not the
original type but a chance
mutation discovered in
1914. Russet Burbank also
is known as the Idaho
potato.
The original Burbank is
long, with smooth brown
skin, and is relatively
mealy, ideal for baking.
The original and the Rus-
set variety are late matur-
ing and heavy yielding
under ideal conditions.
Irish Cobbler (or just
Cobbler) is a small, round,
early-producing variety
that is great for roasting or


mashing, as it possesses a
wholesome, creamy tex-
ture. It supposedly was de-
veloped by an Irish
shoemaker in Massachu-
setts. It was introduced in
1876 and was selected
from seeds produced by
Early Rose.
Several heirloom finger-
lings worth noting include
a French variety, La Ratte,
which originated in the
late 19th century La Ratte
boasts yellow skin and
smooth, firm flesh with a
kind of tapering, chunky
shape. It produces
medium-low yields, yet is
well worth growing for its
superb texture. This one
originated in the late 19th
century in France.
Russian Banana, also
with yellow skin and flesh,
is said to have originated
in the Baltic region, and
this variety yields more
heavily than La Ratte, with
fat fingerlike tubers.
Among my personal fa-
vorites is Ruby Crescent,
also known as Rose Finn
Apple, which has a rosy
yellow skin, yellow flesh,
and an excellent rich but-
tery taste. It tends to pro-
duce "wings," or knobs,
giving the tubers an odd
appearance. It is a late-
season plant, producing
small yields.
Be careful when seeking
out heirloom potatoes:
They are so relatively easy
to grow and keep, and they
