PAGE A4 TODAY & next morning HIGH LOW 83 60 Flu shots less effective for elderly A This season's flu \ shot seemed to do \ little to protect \ people over 65 S from the worst and most domi- nant flu strain spreading around, a small govern- ment study found. Vaccinated peo- ple in that age group had only a 9 percent lower chance of going to the doctor with flu symptoms from the main virus than people who didn't get the shot. The vaccine was much better at protect- ing younger people. Q: If the flu shot did such a poor job for older folks, why should they get it? A: Government doc- tors and other health experts say it's better than nothing. And some scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention think it's possible that even this less effective vaccine may have lessened symptoms. Q: Why was the shot especially weak at pro- tecting older people? A: Older, worn-out immune systems have a harder time respond- ing to flu vaccines. Protection for those over 65 is considered good if they have a 30 or 40 percent lower chance of getting sick enough to see the doc- tor. This year, the vac- cine provided about 27 percent protection against all three strains but again, for the most dominant virus it was only 9 percent ef- fective. On the upside, for people in their 50s and early 60s, protec- tion against the worst virus was actually 50 percent. -Associated Press Com ics ..........C8 Community ...... .C6 Crossword ....... .C7 Editorial ....... .A12 Entertainment ...

Wildlifepark employee's job isn'tjust one bigpetting zoo NANCY KENNEDY Staff writer HOMOSASSA ne day Ken Torres heard a commotion from park visitors near the gator pond at Ellie Schiller Ho- mosassa Springs Wildlife State Park Some baby ducks had gotten into the pond and people were yelling for someone to help. Torres, 40, a park service specialist, tried tossing rocks into the water to get the duck- lings' attention, but they wouldn't move. "People were going crazy, so I went into the gator pond to get the ducks and all of a sud- den a gator came out of the water and scared the heck out of me, and I jumped over the fence," he said. Just part of the job. Citrus County WORKS EDITOR'S NOTE In this economic climate where jobs are at a pre- mium, the Chronicle is run- ning an occasional series, "Citrus County Works," profiling local Citrus County people and the jobs they perform. Today: Ken Torres, park service spe- cialist, Ellie Schiller Ho- mosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. "Sometimes you're working with a snake and she's not having a good day and you'll start cleaning the cage and she'll come out of nowhere and bite your hand. But when you work with animals, they do what animals do," he said. "A lot of the animals here are injured or have some kind of problem, but they're all our 'babies."' Torres said his schedule may be Monday through Fri- day, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but his days are never the same and he has little time to just sit. He may get to work and feed the manatees or clean the hippo's area. He may put on diving gear and clean the Fish Bowl, the park's underwater observation area. And contrary to what people think, he doesn't get much time to pet and play with the animals. "People think our daily job is all cuddling and giving the snakey snakey some love, but that's rare," he said. "The job See Page A5 Marino takes stand Claims not to recall killing A.B.

GOP, Democrats offer different approaches Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Four Republican state senators Thursday announced plans to seek changes in a Florida law that lets utilities charge customers for future nuclear power plant construc- tion even if it never gets built A House member sponsoring repeal legislation, though, said the Tampa Bay area lawmakers' proposal won't work because it doesn't go far enough and utilities will find a way around their revisions. Sen. John Legg, R-Lutz, said the leg- islation's intent is to protect consumers' interests, assure accountability and transparency and responsibly plan for Florida's long-term energy needs.

This day is rec- ognized nationwide, thanks to the Colon Cancer Alliance, to bring attention to colon cancer and celebrate the courage of those affected by this disease. The Inverness City Council proclaimed March 1 "Dress in Blue Day" Individuals, many businesses, and community groups will be participating by wearing blue, dressing business windows in blue, and encouraging others to do the same. By "going blue," the foundation hopes to raise public awareness and get people talking about this cancer The Debby Hudson Colon Cancer Foundation (www.debbys5k.org) was started in memory of Debby Hudson, a longtime special education teacher in In- verness. Debby was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at age 51. She lived 14 months after diagnosis. In addition to raising awareness, the foundation's mission is to encourage early screening and fund research to find a cure. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, yet is 90 percent curable when de- tected early Unfortunately, only 37 per- cent of cases are diagnosed early, according to Cindy Staten, president of the foundation. One in 20 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer It could be a parent, friend, co-worker, or sibling. Early detection through screening can dramatically reduce the risk for this dis- ease. This means having your colon checked regularly starting at age 50 or sooner if you are at higher risk. For more information, contact Cindy Staten at (352) 726-3216 or www debbys5k.org. Special to the Chronicle From left, Ed and Cindy Staten, from The Debby Hudson Colon Cancer Foundation, re- ceive the proclamation from Inverness Mayor Bob Plaisted. LAW Continued from Page Al room for conversation," Legg said at a news confer- ence. "But on these three principles there will be no room for compromise." Legg's bill, which hasn't yet been filed, would set a deadline for construction to begin and eliminate the profit utilities can make on customers' prepayments if they fail to build a plant. Another provision would reduce interest utilities now earn on carrying costs on their projected con- struction cost balances from a current 8.5 percent to an annual market rate, said Sen. Jack Latvala, R- Clearwater "This is merely a Band- Aid or even could be a whitewash telling con- sumers that they've done something and not doing anything, really," said Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda. The Tallahassee Democrat is sponsoring a bill that would repeal the 2006 nuclear cost recovery law. "This half-measure just doesn't move us forward." Rehwinkel Vasilinda ad- vocates conservation and renewable energy as alter- natives to nuclear power She said the Senate legis- lation appears to be aimed at heading off a repeal vote. Legg denied that. Utilities normally can- not begin billing cus- tomers for the construction costs or up- grades until generating fa- cilities go into service. The 2006 law makes an excep- tion to that policy for nu- clear power It was designed to en- courage construction of nu- clear plants, which are riskier and much more ex- pensive to build, to reduce the state's reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and natu- ral gas, which cost more and contribute to air pollu- tion and climate change. Latvala, though, said "times have changed." He noted gas prices have fallen since 2006 along with the need for new gen- erating capacity because Florida's population growth has slowed due to hard economic times. The senators' proposal also drew criticism from Florida Power & Light Co. The state's largest electric utility, FPL serves 4.6 mil- lion homes, businesses and other customers in South Florida and on the state's east coast. The Juno Beach-based Utilities normally cannot begin billing customers for the construction costs or upgrades until generating facilities go into service. The 2006 law makes an exception to that policy for nuclear power. It was designed to encourage construction of nuclear plants, which are riskier and much more expensive to build. company issued a state- ment opposing any changes to the current law, contending it will save consumers billions in the long run on fuel costs while creating thousands of jobs and helping Florida's economy "Those benefits aren't theoretical they are real and happening now," the statement says. FPL spokesman Mark Bubriski said in an email that FPL recently com- pleted nuclear plant up- grades financed by the cost recovery clause, which are saving customers $7.5 mil- lion a month in fuel ex- penses. The typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month currently pays a $1.65 nuclear cost recovery fee. A spokesman for Progress Energy Florida, which has 1.6 million cus- tomers in central and north Florida, did not immediate respond to a telephone message seeking comment. Progress, recently pur- chased by North Carolina- based Duke Energy, has been charging nuclear cost recovery fees for upgrades to an existing plant at Crystal River and a new one planned for nearby Levy County Duke, though, has de- cided to close the damaged Crystal River facility, but the utility stands to earn a of Citrus County, I $50 million profit on the $500 million customers al- ready have paid. Customers also have paid $1.5 billion for the Levy plant Duke could earn $150 million if that project is not built The Senate plan drew measured praise from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, a group that also advocates conserva- tion and renewable power The group's lobbyist, Susan Glickman, com- mended the senators for taking on the issue and predicted once they exam- ine the costs they'll "figure out that we really don't need this kind of nuclear power going forward."

Tallahassee Senate panel passes smoking ban bill Cities and counties could bar smokers from beaches, parks and other publicly owned outdoor areas under a proposal that passed an early Senate test Thursday, despite concerns from restaurateurs. By unanimous vote, the Senate Regulated Indus- tries Committees approved the measure (SB 258), which expands the state's clear indoor air restrictions to more outdoor venues. Voters approved the Florida Indoor Clean Air Act a decade ago. The proposal would allow local governments to enact smoke free areas on pub- licly owned land as long as smoking sections are also available. A similar bill stalled last year after concerns over smoking on sidewalks. The current version prohibits smoking only on sidewalks in public parks, on public beaches or in recreation areas, continuing to allow smoking on regular street- -From staff and wire reports Correction The "Our Home Citrus" section contained an error in the listing for the Friends of Citrus County Animal Services.

Panel hears land CHRIS VAN ORMER Staff writer The thorny issue of car tent sales may rise again as correc- tions are made to the county's Land Development Code. Adopted by the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) last summer, the LDC has had six months of use to find anomalies or glitches. Thursday's meeting of the Citrus County Plan- ning and Development Commis- sion (PDC) began to address them. Inverness Realtor Diana Mar- cum asked for language deletion in the section about temporary outdoor retail sales. The previous code allowed such sales, but the DJ4 current one says sales must be "associated with an existing busi- ness," a phrase she asked to be stricken because it prevents sales of any items on a lot she owns. Vincent Cautero, director of Planning and Development, said the phrase was meant to prevent the sale of motor vehicles on va- cant lots, an issue that was ad- dressed in 2007. Mark Pickett with the Crystal Motor Car Co. and Shane Bryant with Nick Nicholas Ford spoke against striking the phrase. "You need to get businesses to play by the rules," Pickett said. "Striking the language takes the guts out of it. We'll get back to the old days of anything goes." NANCY KENNEDY Staff writer CHASSAHOWITZKA You may not know his face, but lis- teners of local Christian radio know the voice of Peter Swartz. Since 1991, with the excep- tion of two short-lived retire- ments, Swartz has owned and operated the only Christian radio station that broadcasts from Citrus County. Now 70, Swartz is approaching retirement from broadcasting. He currently has his dual, low-power stations WEKJ in Homosassa (107.9 FM) and WCFQ in Inverness (104.9) - for sale, hoping to turn them over to someone local, someone with the same passion he's had for the past 20-plus years. "Radio is still viable and people still listen to it, but it's changed so much," Swartz said. "There's not the same degree of participation.

Now if you did request times you'd probably not even get one call." He said his "golden" years of radio in Citrus County were dur- ing the mid-1990s, when the sta- tion, then WXJC (91.9 FM), was housed in a doublewide mobile home on Grover Cleveland Boulevard in Homosassa. The radio station hosted gospel sings, chili cook-offs and barbecues on the grounds and conducted two fundraising drives a year It was a central resource for local churches to get out information, and people with needs would call the station to connect with people who could help. Swartz did a daily live morn- ing broadcast, often alone, sometimes with guests. The rest of the programming was locally recorded and nationally syndicated content. "By 2000, I was getting fraz- zled," Swartz said. He retired, selling the station to a local church that eventually sold it to Moody Radio Network. Meanwhile, Swartz and his wife, Jan, traveled the U.S., then returned to Citrus County. "After I left WXJC I had a number of people that missed the format, but there was nothing available on the dial," he said. In 2002, the FCC opened up low-powered FM community broadcasting opportunities and Swartz and the late Jimmy Sheets applied for licenses and started WEKJ and WCFQ, run- ning the programming from the property on Grover Cleveland until a series of tropical storms in 2004 knocked the tower bill' c hearings before on was granted a to plant hundreds ;rees at 7290 and berry Point, Ho- eveloped lots of in size. ril Sauve, Mered- John Moskes sent ion to the applica- es about privacy, r and insecticide, Sand traffic. )int presentation, ed the issues. it be a PDC meet- ay, March 7.

He and the Rev. J.D. Hatfield, pas- tor of Riverside Christian Fel- lowship in Hernando, do a live public affairs show from 7 to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. During the 2012 election cycle they interviewed every local candidate running for office. "We got lots of calls and texts from people who heard us, so there's interest out there and definitely a need for commu- nity-based radio," Hatfield said. "So, it's still valuable for the community" "Radio as we've known it doesn't have the same presence and importance in people's lives as it once did," Swartz said. "There are too many other things. But it doesn't mean that it's not listened to. It's just lis- tened to differently" March 1 deadline for tax exemptions and classifications Special to the Chronicle The 2013 deadline for the filing of homestead and other exemp- tions and classifications for Citrus County is Friday, March 1. Property Appraiser Geoffrey Greene said applications may be hand delivered or mailed and post- marked by no later than March 1. For eligibility, a complete applica- tion with all supporting documen- tation is required. This deadline applies to: Homestead exemption. Widow/widower exemption. All veterans disability exemptions. Deployed military exemption for duty in specified active war zones during 2012. Other eligible physical dis- ability exemptions. Portability applications. Agricultural or conservation classification. Conservation in perpetuity exemption. Institutional, education, reli- gious or charitable exemptions. Homestead exemption is the most common application. Prop- erty owners with an existing ex- emption or classification should have received the annual renewal postcard during January Assuming there are no changes in ownership or other status affecting the exemp- tion or classification, renewal is au- tomatic. In that case, a homeowner need not apply again so the March 1 deadline does not apply A new application is required if you bought a new home and/or moved, or recorded a deed from an indi- vidual into a family trust for tax planning purposes. Filings after March 1 are gener- ally held, and will be considered for the 2014 tax roll. For good cause, late filings may be eligible for con- sideration at the discretion of the property appraiser upon request One final remedy for considera- tion for the 2013 tax year is to peti- tion the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). The VAB application is filed through the Citrus County Clerk of Court's Office and should be sub- mitted by no later than Sept 6 for this tax year The application fee is $15, and still requires good cause for not filing by March 1.

Longtime county Christian radio broadcaster ready for retirement " ' CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Sex offender caught in Levy County Man allegedly stole truck, ditched GPS receiver Special to the Chronicle Sexual offender Stephen ., Thomas Siddons, 26, Old Town, was arrested by Levy County Sheriff's Office Deputy Leroy Prine on Feb. 17. Prine spotted what he believed was a disabled vehicle a silver Ste Chevy Blazer on U.S. 19 just Side north of Inglis and stopped to as- sist the driver, whom he identified as Sid- dons. Siddons told him he was headed to Indiana and said his truck just stopped working. Siddons, who appeared very nervous, gave some evasive answers, causing the deputy to become suspicious. The deputy then discovered that Sid- phen ions dons was listed as a high-risk sex offender on probation and was required to wear an ankle moni- toring device. He contacted Sid- dons' probation supervisor, who told him that the ankle monitor had recently been cut off and thrown in an area off U.S. 19 just south of Chiefland. It was also found that the vehi- cle was stolen from a home in Dixie County and that Siddons had no li- cense. Siddons was arrested and booked into the Levy County Jail for driving while li- cense suspended or revoked, grand theft auto and violation of probation. He was held on $40,000 bond. Puppies die in fire MIAMI Investigators said a fire swept through a Miami strip mall, killing 30 English bulldog puppies. The Miami Herald reported the puppies died of smoke in- halation at Beverly Hills Pup- pies. The fire broke out about 10 p.m. Wednesday at Fancy Beads before damaging sev- eral other stores in the shop- ping center. Officials said it took about 40 firefighters more than an hour to put out. There was no word on how the fire started. Student stabbed in neck during class WINTER PARK-A Full Sail University student has been charged with stabbing a class- mate in an apparent hate crime. The Orange County Sher- iff's Office said 29-year-old Xavier Nunez attacked an- other student with a screw- driver during a statistics class on Thursday. Sherriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson said Nunez uttered racial slurs and stabbed a black student multiple times in the neck and shoulder area. The victim was treated at the scene and released. Accused man fit to stand trial TAMPA-A court- appointed psychologist has concluded a Tampa Bay area terrorism suspect named Sami Osmakac is competent to stand trial. The Tampa Tribune re- ported that U.S. Magistrate Anthony Porcelli ordered the competency review and dur- ing a hearing Thursday, said that a psychologist determined Osmakac is competent. Osmakac, a naturalized citi- zen from Kosovo, was ar- rested in 2012 on charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and posses- sion of an unregistered ma- chine gun.

He added that occasion- ally he gets time to play with the snakes and the baby alligators. Torres said he originally had wanted to be a veteri- narian, but during college in his native Puerto Rico he spent too much time partying and not enough time studying. He gradu- ated with a bachelor's de- gree in biology, then moved to South Florida in 1999. "When I moved to Miami, my dad found a coot, a wading bird, on the side of the road, so I took it to a wildlife rehab center in Broward County. I saw what they did there and thought it was pretty neat," he said. "I was 28, had no job, living with my mom and dad in Miami and I got hired as a wildlife care person. A few months after that, I was promoted to wildlife rehab and release coordinator." Torres said he occasion- ally brought injured birds to the wildlife park in Ho- mosassa and fell in love with it. He was hired 11 years ago.

SHOW Continued from PageAl correspondent Al Madrigal visit- ing Crystal River and getting up close to manatees at Three Sis- ters Springs. "You should be able to ride a manatee," author Michael Coff- man said, giving the tea party point of view, linking manatee riding to states' rights. "People used to ride manatees all the time." Speed limits for boaters came up, as did a well-publicized ar- rest of a woman photographed riding a manatee. This led to a juxtaposed inter- view with Patrick Rose, execu- tive director of Save the Manatee Club. Madrigal went on to visit Crystal River, where he was filmed riding a person in a manatee suit down King's Bay Drive. Armed with a saddle for his manatee ride, Madrigal visited River Ventures, a manatee swim tour company in Crystal River. He is shown sitting through the educational portion of the tour before hitting the water. Filmed underwater, Madrigal, still wearing a suit and tie, never attempts to ride a manatee, but tries a typical flat-hand touch as the camera-shy mammal scur- ries away While the episode got a lot of mention on Facebook and web- sites that typically comment on the show, there has not been a lot of local feedback. Ivan Vicente, visitor services specialist with the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, said they had not received any phone calls or local reaction. However, a lot of people had emailed with links to the video. Vicente helped facilitate the show and issued the permit. "They were keeping every- thing very low-key and did not want us to disclose they were here," he said. "It's going to be good for Citrus County. People are going to wonder where 'The Daily Show' went to see mana- tees in crystal-clear water" He said next there will be a 14- page National Geographic spread coming out on the mana- tees and they will be shown on a Discovery Channel North Amer- ican nature show in May "The more there are, the bet- ter it will be for the local econ- omy," he said. Kim Blanco with River Ven- tures, said they had not received any response yet, just some Face- book postings. She said the show selected them after researching local tour companies. And even though it was satire, she said their intention was to express their point of view on protecting and preserving manatees.

TRIAL Continued from Page Al show Marino knew right from wrong when she al- legedly carjacked a woman in a shopping plaza park- ing lot and subsequently ran her over with her own vehicle, killing her Marino, 34, of Longwood, is charged with murdering 64-year-old Mary Haynie of Lecanto on April 7, 2010, after a scuffle involving the carjacking. Marino is charged with first-degree murder and faces a life sentence if convicted. Officials and witnesses said Haynie ran out of a pet grooming business in a shopping plaza and tried to stop Marino, but Marino reportedly pushed Haynie to the ground and ran her over with the SUV Marino then proceeded to leave the parking lot, authorities said. Haynie later died from her injuries at Citrus Memorial hospital. Marino was arrested later that day in Wildwood. Thursday, the defense began the day with Marino's mother, Barbara Marino, who told jurors of her own lifelong battle with bipolar disorder and how she watched her daughter descend into mental illness - with things getting worse after the younger Marino bore witness to the terror- ist attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Marino's place of em- ployment was said to be lo- cated about two blocks away from the site. Then Marino took the stand in her own defense, at times becoming confused and emotional, such as when as she recalled the events of the Sept 11 attacks. She also spoke about hav- ing a lack of recollection and told stories of seeing and hearing things; she would variously describe her vi- sions as angels, demons or even God talking to her Marino described a childhood marked by her mother's mental illness, an absent father and being raped as a teen and having to miss two years of school because of it. She went on to graduate from college, only to be confronted with images of death she said she witnessed during the Sept 11 attacks. She was di- agnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of it, she told jurors. She also talked about her rebirth as a Christian and her numerous stints in various mental institu- tions. Marino told of es- caping from many of them. She recounted a month preceding the death of Haynie, but told prosecu- tor Pete Magrino she does not remember anything after she jumped into the woman's vehicle. "I remember hearing voices from the dog saying 'Just do it,"' Marino told jurors. She said that's when she acted by jumping into Haynie's vehicle, but said she does not recall anything else. Probation officer Ariene Huckabee testified that she called the Citrus County Sheriff's Office to conduct a well-being check on Marino when she reportedly wandered into their offices in Inverness. Huckabee could be heard in the recorded call saying Marino was not right and was walking around with suitcases and homeless. Dr. Ava C. Land, a psy- chologist who worked with Marino, testified that she concluded after collecting all her data that Marino exhibited symptoms of psychosis. "I believe that she clearly was not sane at the time" of the killing of Haynie. But prosecutor Ma- grino challenged Land about her data-col- lection methods and her experience as an expert witness in murder trials. At one point Magrino asked: "Can people fake the symptoms of insanity?" - indicating a suspicion Marino was doing so.

Associated Press British musician Kevin Ayers is pictured in 1974 in a film made available by Max Films Limited. Ayers, the influential singer-songwriter who co-founded the band Soft Machine, died in France, his record label said Thursday. Soft Machine co-founder Ayers dies in France Associated Press LONDON Kevin Ayers, an influential singer-songwriter who co- founded the band Soft Machine, has died in France, his record label said Thursday He was 68. Ayers was an important figure in the British psy- chedelic movement spearheaded by the Beat- les in the late 1960s. He did not achieve sustained commercial success, but his work is treasured by musicians and many fans. Jack McLean, assistant to the managing director of Lo-Max Records in London, said Thursday that Ayers' body had been discovered in his bed at his home in the medieval village Montolieu in the south of France. "We believe he died Feb. 18 of natural causes and was found two days later," McLean said. "He hadn't been ill, but he lived a rock 'n' roll lifestyle and everything that comes with that." Ayers, who was raised partly in Malaysia, moved to Canterbury on his re- turn to England and formed Soft Machine in 1966 with drummer and singer Robert Wyatt They took the name from a novel by beat generation author William Burroughs. The band was part of the "Canterbury scene" a group of bands known for a pastoral approach to music that combined elements of jazz, folk and rock. Soft Machine and Pink Floyd both enjoyed wide followings for their imag- inative and experimental take on psychedelia. Ayers also had a lengthy solo career and made many collaborative records, working with Syd Barrett, Brian Eno, Nico and others. He released "The Unfairground" in 2007, ending a lengthy hiatus with an album that was critically acclaimed. The record company said Ayers is survived by three daughters and a sister.

The recent episode quickly went viral. But for a few dozen new federal judges, it became a lesson in finding ways to ac- knowledge they experi- ence a range of feelings on the bench and to channel them appropriately "We tell judges, 'If you ever detect an emotion, squelch it.' That's an ex- tremely bad idea," said Vanderbilt University law professor Terry Maroney, who led a session for roughly 40 judges in Wash- ington that incorporated the Florida incident. "You're going to have emo- tions as a judge, no matter how many people tell you you won't or aren't sup- posed to." In a Miami-Dade County courtroom, Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat doubled an 18-year-old's bond when she laughed, then gave her 30 days in jail when she made an ob- scene gesture with her middle finger. Several days later, she admitted she had been high on Xanax and alcohol and apologized to the judge. He erased the bond and let her go home. U.S. District Judge Je- remy Fogel, who runs the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, said a judge's first year can be especially intense, and Maroney's aim is to help judges cope with the new stresses of the job, including the diffi- cult task of sending an- other human being to prison. "We don't do a lot to pre- pare them for that Judges, when they're new, try par- ticularly hard to live up to the expectations of the job. As you have more time and more experience, you re- alize you are not going to get it right every time. You have an obligation to try, but you can't, because we're all imperfect. It takes a while to come to terms with that," said Fogel, a veteran of 30 years as a judge in state and fed- eral courts in California. The discussion in Wash- ington was held behind closed doors, but Fogel and two new judges agreed to talk about it and about their experiences on the bench. U.S. District Judge John Gerard in Lincoln, Neb., served as a state Supreme Court justice for 16 years, hearing appeals generally argued in measured tones and in a sterile environ- ment, at least compared to a courtroom trial. President Barack Obama nominated him to the federal judiciary Associated Press Terry Maroney, a professor of Law at Vanderbilt Law School, tells judges it's a bad idea to show emotion on the bench. in 2011, and he began his new job a year ago. Among the most difficult situations Gerard has en- countered involved white- collar fraud. "Those are emotionally charged. You're trying to figure out what sentences to impose. You have the defendant's family mem- bers on one side. They sometimes have no idea of the details. On the other side are victims who have been defrauded or whose life savings are gone. Those are fraught situa- tions," Gerard said. "I'm obviously going to base what I do on the law, but it's helpful to know it's OK when you do feel some anger, some revulsion." More tests needed in hotel water-tank death Police call death suspicious Associated Press LOS ANGELES More testing must be done to deter- mine the cause of death of a 21-year-old Canadian tourist whose body was found wedged in a water tank atop a downtown Los Angeles hotel, authorities said Thurs- day Canadian tourist Elisa Lam had been missing for about two weeks when officials at the Cecil Hotel found her body in a water cistern on the hotel roof. Associated Press An autopsy performed Thursday didn't provide de- finitive answers into whether Elisa Lam was killed or if she fell victim to a bizarre acci- dent. Coroner's officials will await toxicology tests before making a final determination. Lam's body was found Tuesday in a water cistern atop the downtown Cecil Hotel. Police have called her death suspicious. Guest complaints about low water pressure prompted a maintenance worker to make the gruesome discovery Before she died, hotel sur- veillance footage showed her inside an elevator pushing buttons and sticking her head out the doors, looking in both directions. Meanwhile, water tested from the hotel didn't contain any live bacteria that would cause illness. Although county health of- ficials issued a do-not drink order, the results that came back Thursday indicated the water was safe from a "mi- crobiological standpoint," said Angelo Bellomo, the county's director of environ- mental health. "We can't say what the quality of the water was prior to the samples," taken on Tuesday, Bellomo said. "We can only say that the water met the standard at the time it was sampled." Chlorine in the water likely killed any bacteria in the tank where Lam's body was found, Bellomo said. Two standard water tests were performed and samples were taken from throughout the hotel. Bellomo said the hotel has retained a consultant who submitted a plan to sanitize the water lines that will be retested before they are put back into operation. Only water for toilets is flowing for hotel guests currently Lam, of Vancouver, British Columbia, traveled alone to Los Angeles on Jan. 26 and was last seen five days later by workers at the 600-room hotel near Skid Row. She in- tended to travel to Santa Cruz, about 350 miles north of Los Angeles. High school classmate Alex Ristea of Vancouver called Lam's death shocking and said she was one of the friendliest people he knew. New season of uncertainty Sequester Q&A Associated Press WASHINGTON Here comes the sequester: big federal spending cuts and a new season of economic uncertainty for a nation still trying to shake off a recession. The politics of seques- tration have been fierce, the finger-pointing inces- sant. And to no one's sur- prise, what was designed as a way out of one Wash- ington standoff has pro- duced another one and more. A week out from the March 1 deadline, there are no meaningful efforts in Washington to avert the punishing automatic cuts set out in a law nearly two years ago. Q: What's the big overall picture? A: A series of cuts to fed- eral agencies that would lead to longer lines at the nation's borders, less money for teachers and more hassle at airport checkpoints. Virtually every dollar approved each year by Congress would be slashed by a uniform amount, which would mean at least temporary layoffs for hundreds of thousands of public and private-sector workers. Programs like Medicare and Social Secu- rity are exempt, but there is no question the slashing of other programs would slow the nation's fragile eco- nomic recovery Q: And the big numbers? A: Under a 2011 law de- signed to avert exactly this type of inaction, March 1 means automatic cuts of $85 billion from a $3.6 tril- lion budget over the seven months spanning March to September. That would in- clude cuts of 8 percent to the Pentagon and 5 per- cent to domestic agency operating budgets. More than 3.8 million Americans who have been jobless for six months or longer could see their unemployment benefits reduced by as much as 9.4 percent. Q: Why is this happen- ing, what's actually going to occur and who is likely to be most affected? A: The seeds of the se- quester were sown by a de- mand by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that the 2011 debt limit in- crease be matched, dollar- for-dollar, by cuts in federal spending. After "grand bargain" talks be- tween Boehner and Obama broke down, the White House came up with the sequester idea as a way to guarantee large enough deficit cuts to offset enough new borrowing to make sure Washington did- n't have to revisit the debt limit until after the 2012 elections. The sequester threat was designed to be so harsh that it would drive the sides to compromise on an alternative. It didn't work. House Republicans twice last year passed legislation to replace the cuts with larger savings drawn from programs like food stamps and federal employee pen- sions. Democrats control- ling the Senate didn't offer an alternative and instead put their faith in postelec- tion negotiations to avert the "fiscal cliff," which re- sulted in Obama claiming Floral City Floating /Tussocks / Floating Heart Hernando Pool Nuphar / Hydrilla / Willows / Duckweed victory on his promise to raise taxes on the rich but only a two-month respite from the sequester. Now, Republicans say they won't give in to demands by Obama and the Democ- rats controlling the Senate for higher taxes as part of any solution. Q: How quickly will the sequester's impact be felt? A: It depends. At first, the general public may not much notice the cuts. The sequester isn't a govern- ment shutdown; it's a government slowdown. Furloughs of federal work- ers forced unpaid days off- generally won't start for a month due to notification requirements. Many government con- tracts would still be funded using money previ- ously approved even as agencies slow down the awards of new contracts.

However, the biggest retailer warned of a slow start to the year. It gained $1.05, or 1.5 percent, to $70.26. 1 'Il I 4 '' Walmart forecast bad news for poor, middle-class NEW YORK -As go the fortunes of many Americans, so goes Walmart's, and so goes the economy. Even as the world's largest retailer on Thursday reported a nearly 9 percent rise in fourth- quarter profit during the busy holiday shopping season, it offered a weaker forecast for the coming months. The problem? The poor and middle-class Americans that Walmart caters to - and who are big drivers of spending in the U.S. - are struggling with rising gas prices, delayed income tax refunds and higher payroll taxes. Walmart is the latest in a string of big-name companies from Burger King to Zale to say those Americans are being squeezed by new chal- lenges. But since Walmart accounts for nearly 10 percent of nonautomotive retail spending in the U.S., it is a bellwether for the economy. "Walmart moms are the barometer of the U.S. household," said Brian Sozzi, chief equi- ties analyst at NBG Productions who follows Walmart. "Right now, they're afraid of higher taxes and inflation." Oil prices down sharply for a second day NEW YORK Oil prices plunged for a second day Thursday, raising hopes a relent- less rise in gasoline prices may slow or re- verse at least temporarily. U.S. benchmark crude oil fell $2.38, or 2.5 percent, to finish at $92.84 per barrel in New York, the second drop of 2 percent in two days. Crude oil's recent slide is a result of ample supplies and recent speculation that the Fed- eral Reserve may soon allow interest rates to rise, which would reduce the supply of easy cash investors have been using to buy com- modities like oil. The drop in crude hasn't translated into lower pump prices yet. The average U.S. retail gasoline price rose a penny to $3.78 per gallon Thursday, according to AAA, the Oil Price Information Service, and Wright Ex- press. Gasoline has risen for 34 days straight since averaging $3.29 on Jan. 18. The two day plunge in crude and slightly lower wholesale gasoline futures prices are expected to at least slow the rise in pump prices, and perhaps push them back slightly. Claims for US jobless aid suggest modest hiring WASHINGTON The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits jumped 20,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 362,000, though it remains at a level that suggests slow but steady improvement in the job market. The Labor Department said Thursday the four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 8,000 to 360,750, the highest in six weeks. Applications for unemployment benefits are a proxy for layoffs. The four-week average has declined 7.5 percent since mid-November and fell to a five-year low three weeks ago. Last week's increase puts applications for unem- ployment benefits back in the 360,000-to- 390,000 range, where they have fluctuated since early last year. Since then, employers have added an average of 181,000 jobs a month. Home sales rise to second-highest pace in years WASHINGTON U.S. sales of previously occupied homes rose in January to the second- highest level in three years, a sign the hous- ing market is sustaining its recovery and helping bolster the economy. The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that sales rose 0.4 percent in Janu- ary compared with December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.92 million. That was the second-highest sales pace since Novem- ber 2009. The median price for a home sold in January was $173,600, a 12.3 percent in- crease from a year ago. US consumer prices flat in January for second month WASHINGTON U.S. consumer prices were flat in January from December for the second month in a row. The consumer price index has risen 1.6 percent in the 12 months ending in January, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's down from a 2.9 percent pace a year ago. Excluding the volatile food and energy cate- gories, core prices rose 0.3 percent in Janu- ary. Core prices have risen 1.9 percent in the past year. That's down from the 2.3 percent pace in the same month a year ago. -From wire reports After a strong start to the holiday sea- son, Walmart said, the first three weeks of December were weak, and business has been volatile since then. The com- pany attributed some of the weakness to a delay in tax refund checks that have left people strapped for cash. Walmart's customers also have less money to spend because a temporary payroll tax cut expired in December "Everybody's gotten a 2 percent pay cut, and people who file market their taxes early are not afe ay getting a refund back in a aeway timely manner," Forrest biggest said.

While school board members did not dis- pute the seats were overdue to be replaced, Deutschaman and member Thomas Kennedy said, prior to the meeting, the present tax crunch further elevates the need to be tight-fisted when it comes to spending. While, at the Feb. 12 board meeting, Kennedy voted against the purchase, Deutschman joined with the two other board members who favored the purchase. Deutschman did so because she thought it best not to be the cause of a 2-2 vote, which would have defeated the ini- tiative. The measure passed 3-1. The vacancy, created when member Susan Hale abruptly resigned just weeks after being elected, leaves a void until the governor names a replacement. According to state Rep. Jimmie T. Smith, the gover- Tax puzzler I'd like to know how come property values have dropped but my property tax is the same as I paid in 2005. I know how to help the O budget. Let's cut the upper-echelon salaries by, let's say, 20 percent. If our property values are down 20 percent, they get cut 20 percent. And if they spend more than their budget, it comes out of their pay. CAL Maybe if they had less, 563- they'd learn how to spend less, like the rest of us. Just an idea. Wait your turn As a person who has handi- capped children, let's face it; some of these children realize that they are handicapped, but that doesn't put them in front of the line. They already have a wheelchair and all the things that we can do to help them, which is nice, and we try to do it. But just because you're hand- icapped, that doesn't put you in front of the line. It's only those that have wheelchairs that if you're at an association where you can't put the wheelchair be- tween seats, so you go in front of the line. But otherwise, in stores, you're in a chair, so wait your turn. It won't kill you.

When that best of the op- tions is identified, we hope the governor acts swiftly to bring the board back to five members and business as usual. only place I have been rear- ended was by a New York State vehicle, which has very strict in- spections. But you can't keep people off the cellphone. JND Manners In regards to the arti- cle, "We have rights": I don't agree with this person. They have no manners whatsoever. I am handicapped and several times I have ,0' been in line, the last S579 one, and somebody )59 comes up with one or two articles and I have a basketful, I'll let them go first. This is human nature. This is not selfishness ... We in Florida are taught manners. Where's money going? Replacing seats at Curtis Pe- terson (Auditorium). When they have a function at this audito- rium, they certainly charge a nice price for seating. This should cover maintenance, re- placement of equipment. Where has all this money gone? Rezone school board If you're going to rezone the high schools and middle schools, why not rezone the school board and do away with one of the members? That would save a whole lot of money. If it's all for the children, that is the best thing and the governor won't have to worry about appointing anybody. Trickle down effect Thanks to the debacle over the Crystal River power plant taxes, we now have financial problems of near epic proportions. For example: 1. Thousands of dollars have already been spent in regard to the barge canal to nowhere and there is nothing to show for the expenditure. 2. Extending the Suncoast Parkway through Citrus County is a bad idea. I talked with state representatives at a meet and greet at the Inver- ness library in regard to this subject shortly after the 10-day shutdown of the road to the south of us due to flood dam- age to the road (and surround- ing area). I used that damage to prove my point. During the discussion, I told the people there was only one way to build the road that would not leave all of Citrus County west "Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude." Ralph Marston CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Alien Cox: Unsung GOP hero On Feb. 11, with the utterance of three words, "Guilty, Your Honor," Jim Greer prematurely ended an ugly and convo- luted chapter in the Republican Party of Florida's history The disgraced former party chair also dashed the hopes of many who wanted to see the fireworks of a ---- jl- Paula D FLOOR VOI( full-blown trial and accounta- bility for all who participated in illegal or unethical behavior The story was years in the making. It began in 2006, when Greer, handpicked by then Gov- elect Charlie Crist and backed by leaders in the Florida Legis- lature, just barely received enough votes to become the Re- publican Party of Florida's chair. He was re-elected two years later with only 75 percent of the vote, even though he was not officially challenged. While his arrogant behavior and big-spending ways ruffled a lot of feathers, he continued to enjoy the support from those in the highest echelons of state government -the governor, at- torney general and legislative leaders. Those in the grassroots of Florida's Republican Party started to express grave con- cerns about fiscal mismanage- ment, credit card scandals, and the financial health of the party. But the elected elite, who en- joyed unfettered access to party resources, circled the wagons by sending a not-so-subtle mes- sage to dissenters to cease and desist Some of the grassroots party members caved to the influence of these powerful forces. Oth- ers, who took their fiduciary re- sponsibilities seriously, didn't believe that keeping Greer in charge and allowing the ques- tionable financial practices to continue were in the best inter- est of the party. Enter Allen Cox. Cox, who then served as vice chairman of the party, was the man brave enough to stand up against the power elite to expose the mis- 5TH-. 2Or^o ~G~jy~[ S -osh use of party funds. He, along with a few others, not only repeatedly called for a full financial audit, a request rebuffed by the attorney general and legislative lead- ers. He also enlisted 50 Republican Party )ockery of Florida members |IDA state committee ES men and women and county party chairs to sign a written request for a special meeting of the party's state committee to rescind the January 2009 elec- tion of Chairman Greer The re- quest outlined four charges, including financial mismanage- ment, violation of party rules, and violation of two articles of the Republican Party of Florida's constitution. Greer continued to be pro- tected by those in position to force a full accounting. Was their intention to protect the party, as they claimed, or to pro- tect their shared secrets with a chairman who was losing the support of his organization? Allen Cox reached out to me and several supportive elected officials to back up his call for cleaning up the party. A few of us joined in to publicly call for a full and open audit, to no avail. Party leaders supported a less transparent accounting while expressing their confidence in the embattled chairman. Renowned British conserva- tive Edmund Burke reportedly said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Clearly Cox is a good man who didn't stand by and do nothing. His reward, however, was to be ostracized by his own political party. What a shame! Allen Cox is an unsung hero. He epitomizes what is right within the party. He called out bad behavior and had grass- roots support in doing so. And instead of good behavior being rewarded, unfortunately the opposite occurred. Instead of the open process requested, clandestine agree- ments were signed, Greer re- signed and the powers that be installed a sitting state senator to serve as chair, someone who was part of the secret contract. The result was more top-down command, little accountability, and business as usual. Imagine what the past three years and the last election cycle could have been like for the Re- publican Party of Florida if they had heeded Cox's call for com- ing clean and reforming the party. Instead, the party suf- fered through a long period of rumor, innuendo and finger pointing that led up to the much anticipated trial that ended abruptly last week with Greer's guilty plea, leaving a plethora of unanswered questions. The lone casualty Jim Greer became the fall guy for all the bad behavior. His sup- porting cast walked away rela- tively unscathed. While it's hard to feel sorry for Greer, it's harder to believe that justice was served or that lessons were learned. Cox recently said, in an arti- cle in The Miami Herald, that he hoped Greer's case would serve as a catalyst to end the tradition of legislators using party funds to skirt state law. He suggested eliminating the loop- hole that allows legislative leaders to raise money and park it at the party and have near total discretion in how it is spent. This year the Florida Legis- lature is bringing forth ethics reform and campaign finance reform legislation. Yet not in- cluded in either bill is any re- form requiring political parties to disclose how they collect or spend political contributions. Allen Cox was one of the bravest and most ethical among the Republican Party of Florida in 2009 and he was cast aside. The powers that be didn't listen to him then. Will they be smart enough to listen now? Paula Dockery was term- limited as a Republican state senator from Lakeland after 16years in the Florida Legislature.

LETTER I r= CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE LETTERS to the Editor Make Citrus more like up North I just had to write to you, since we read your paper every day and know what is going on. We are in Citrus County only renting a house, since we are hoping to sell our house up North and move down here. Here is my belief: You truly have a beautiful county, we love it here and can't wait to move here, but what is hap- pening to your county is kind of scary, especially with your electric com- panies. In your county you have everything, but it is not being handled right. You have sun, so why aren't the people hanging out their clothes to dry, and not use the dryer so much? Using the dryer, costs lots of money and with the sun shining it would dry the clothes in an hour. You have wind; why no wind turbines? You go to other parts of the country, or to Europe, and there are wind turbines all over. Europe has the most. It produces a lot of electricity. Why not help people put solar on their roofs? Our country was sup- posed to produce solar panels, and then the pro- duction went to China, a country that is stealing from us big time. Why does your county not make it mandatory to recycle, as we do up North big time? Newspa- pers, cans, plastic, glass - that is all worth lots of money In Germany, they take the garbage and burn it, making gas out of it and helping lots of towns with it. We just fill precious land with it Up North, when we buy bottled water or soda, beer, we have to pay a nickel extra that we get back when we return the bottles. It also means extra money; I've seen people pick up empty bot- tles on the road if they have no job; it does amount up to something. A fire station in New Jer- sey built a whole new fire house with the old news- papers they collected. Here, we keep our plastic and cans separate be- cause we are used to it, and it goes out with the garbage, nothing happens. What a waste. We pay up North $6,000 a year on property tax. If we can't pay because we are retired and on Social Security, they come and take our house away within two years. For 150 gallons of oil to heat our house, for just a short time, costs us over $560. This is why I am writing to you. You are truly blessed. You have every- thing given by God and it is being wasted. Iris Farrell Beverly Hills Save our post office The U.S. Postal Service is a viable institution, constitutionally estab- lished, thanks to Ben- jamin Franklin. It uses no taxpayer dollars to operate. Its financial difficulties are, to some degree, due to the increased preva- lence of emails. Neverthe- less, there are many rural areas in the country that depend on regular snail mail. Twenty percent, or one in five, still do not have Internet access and de- pend on Saturday deliv- ery of mail. The chief source of the post office's woes, how- ever, is the ill-conceived, euphemistically titled "Postal Accountability @_om20M MRC.orgOMI { f but by big Peatuw and Enhancement Act" passed during George W Bush's administration, which forced the post of- fice to prefund future re- tirees health benefits 75 years in advance. This was an unfair, unprece- dented act. No other public or pri- vate agency was ever re- quired to pay vast sums in advance. This act should be revoked, with the money collected since 2006 returned to the post office and used for pen- sions to those who are ready to retire. It is incomprehensible that banksters who com- mit fraud are bailed out and receive huge com- pensations in yearly bonuses while the post of- fice is starved of funds. Valuable nonprofit pub- lic institutions, devoted to the common good, such as our schools, firemen, and police, deserve our continued support.

Peterson gets 38 years for murder JOLIET, Ill. -Ajudge has sentenced Drew Peter- son to 38 years in prison for murdering his third wife.

Peterson is also a sus- pect in the 2007 disappear- ance of his 23-year-old fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but hasn't been charged. Her disappearance is what led authorities to take an- other look at Savio's death and reclassify it from an ac- cident to a homicide. Fascination nationwide with Peterson arose from speculation he sought to use his law enforcement expert- ise to get away with murder.

Suicide bombers strike Syrian capital" more than 200 hurt Associated Press DAMASCUS, Syria A car bomb exploded Thursday near Syria's ruling party headquarters in Damascus, killing at least 53 people and scattering mangled bodies among the blazing wreck- age in one of the bloodiest days in the capital since the uprising began almost two years ago. Elsewhere in the city, two other bombs struck intelligence offices, killing 13, and mortar rounds hit the army's central command, ac- tivists said. Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks, mark the most sustained chal- lenge of the civil war for control of the seat of President Bashar Assad's power Syrian state media said the car bombing near the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Em- bassy was a suicide attack that killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, with children among the casualties. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 59, which would make it the deadliest Damascus bombing of the revolt The violence has shattered the sense of normalcy the Syrian regime has desperately tried to maintain in Damascus, a city that has largely been insulated from the bloodshed and destruction that has left other urban centers in ruins. The rebels launched an offen- sive on Damascus in July follow- ing a stunning bombing on a high-level government crisis meeting that killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister Following that attack, rebel groups that had es- tablished footholds in the suburbs pushed in, battling government forces for more than a week be- fore being routed and swept out Since then, government war- p w -. : I, Associated Press Police cordon off the scene of a shooting and multicar accident on the Las Vegas Strip early Thursday. planes have pounded opposition strongholds on the outskirts, and rebels have managed only small incursions on the city's southern and eastern sides. But the recent bombings and mortar attacks suggest that in- stead of trying a major assault, rebel fighters are resorting to guerrilla tactics to loosen Assad's grip on the heavily fortified capital. The fighting in Damascus also follows a string of tactical victo- ries in recent weeks for the rebels - capturing the nation's largest hydroelectric dam and overtaking airbases in the northeast that have contributed to the sense that the opposition may be gaining some momentum. But Damascus is the ultimate prize in the civil war, and many view the battle for the ancient city as the most probable endgame of a conflict that, according to U.N. estimates, has killed nearly 70,000 people. t 4 ^i . - 4-r; t . 4 Associated Press Gina Pucket shovels snow from her driveway Thursday in Salina, Kan.

Travel tough Associated Press ST LOUIS Powdery snow, up to a foot and a half in some places, bom- barded much of the nation's midsection Thursday, impeding travel and shutting down air- ports, schools and state legislatures. The widespread winter storm system swirled to the north and east Thurs- day night, its snow, sleet and freezing rain prompt- ing winter storm warnings in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. Corey Mead, a meteor- ologist with the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Nor- man, Okla., said the win- ter storm would be centered in the upper Midwest by Friday morning. "Even across Kansas, the snowfall rates should continue to taper off through the evening," Mead said. The system left behind impressive snow accumu- lations, especially in west- ern Kansas, where 17 inches fell in Hays. Several accidents and two deaths were blamed on icy and slushy road- ways; two people died in crashes Wednesday. Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed. Legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa. National Weather Serv- ice meteorologist Scott Truett said the "thunder- snow" that rumbled through Kansas and Mis- souri earlier Thursday was the result of an unsta- ble air mass, much like a thunderstorm. "Instead of pouring rain, it's pouring snow," Truett said. And pouring was a sound description, with snow falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour or more in some spots. Topeka got 3 inches of snow in one 30-minute pe- riod, leaving medical cen- ter worker Jennifer Carlock to dread the drive home.

Three convicted in British bomb plot LONDON Three young British Muslims have been convicted of plotting terrorist bomb attacks pros- ecutors said were intended to be bigger than the 2005 London transit bombings. A London jury found 27- year-old Irfan Khalid, 31-year- old Irfan Naseer and Ashik Ali, 27, of being central fig- ures in the foiled plot to ex- plode knapsack bombs. Prosecutors said the men, fired up by the ser- mons of a US.-born al- Qaida preacher, hoped to cause carnage on a mass scale. Their plot was un- done by mishaps with money and logistics, and ended in a police countert- errorism swoop in 2011. Several other suspects have pleaded guilty to of- fenses related to the plot. In July 2005, suicide bombers killed 52 com- muters on London's sub- way and bus network. 'Baby Doc' spurns court again PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier has spurned a judge's order to appear in court for a hear- ing on whether to reinstate charges of human rights abuses against him. The lawyer for the former leader known as "Baby Doc" said he has appealed the order to the Supreme Court. Attorney Reynold Georges appeared and an- nounced the appeal 90 min- utes after Thursday's hearing was scheduled to start. Duvalier ruled Haiti from 1971 to 1986, a time when thousands were impris- oned, tortured and killed for opposing the government. He made a surprise re- turn to Haiti in January 2011 and was charged with em- bezzlement and human rights abuses. A court threw out all but the embezzle- ment charge, which carries a maximum of five years in prison. Mexico pledges hunt for missing MEXICO CITY Mexico said it will work with the In- ternational Red Cross on the search for thousands of people who have disap- peared during the country's six-year war on drug cartels. Officials provided few de- tails of the arrangement signed Thursday and did not release a copy, but one Interior Department official said the search would in- clude the creation of a data- base with genetic information from relatives of the disappeared. Human Rights Watch re- leased a report Wednesday that describes 249 cases of disappearances, most of which appeared to have been carried out by the mili- tary or law enforcement. The same day, Mexican officials said they had a preliminary count of more than 27,000 people reported missing during the last six years. -From wire reports SPORTS * Panthers pick up a win in Philly./B3 CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE 0 Auto racing/B2 0 Basketball/B3, B5 0 Hockey/B3 0 Scoreboard/B4 0 Sports briefs/B4 0 Baseball/B5 0 Golf/B5 0 Entertainment/B6 Pirate bats silenced in 5-1 loss Crystal River collects first hit in sixth inning against Leesburg STEVE MCGUNNIGLE Correspondent CRYSTAL RIVER Despite finally getting something going offensively in the bottom of the seventh inning, it was too little, too late for the Crystal River baseball team, who fell to visiting Lees- burg 5-1 on Thursday night at Mike Hampton Field.

Vathroder then gave himself support, punching an RBI single through the hole on the left side to give Leesburg a 2-1 lead. A bases-loaded walk by Andrew Niglio made it 3-0 before Cornoyer got Halstead swinging to end the inning. Cornoyer struck out the side in the fifth, around the pair of runs. Cody Anderson's pinch-hit single with two out in the sixth broke up the Lees- burg no-hitter, but the Jackets added in- surance runs in the sixth and seventh, while Crystal River was unable to build on any rally attempt in the late innings. "We're not real deep right now," Stack said. "We've got good athletes, but we're young, we're hurt and we're beat up. We're in a little hole, but we're going to dig ourselves out." Crystal River plays 7 p.m. tonight at home against Hernando for its first dis- trict game of the season. Offensive storm 'Canes softball downs Warriors by 12-2 count C.J. RISK Correspondent CRYSTAL RIVER The fast start by Citrus' softball team proved to be a bad start for Seven Rivers Christian. Fueled by a pair of two-run doubles by freshman Erica Corlew, the Hurricanes fol- lowed a four-run first inning with a three-run second, lead- ing ultimately to a 12-2 victory over the Warriors on Thursday at Bicentennial Park in Crystal River "She's coming around," said Citrus coach Larry Bishop of Corlew's performance. "She's one of the freshmen we have high hopes for" It wasn't just the offense that looked promising for Citrus. Three pitchers worked on the mound for the Hurricanes, combining to limit Seven Rivers to one hit "We were able to work on some things," Bishop added. "So I thought it was a good game. It's always good to be deep in the (pitching) circle, and we have four pitchers who can throw." The win boosted the Hurri- canes' record to 5-1. Seven Rivers slipped to 1-1. "First off, Citrus is a good team and we always enjoy playing them," Warriors coach Gary Dreyer said. "But when we're playing a team like this, and we come out and make er- rors like we did... We had a rough defensive game. We did- n't give ourselves much of a chance." Citrus' first-inning rally started with singles by Chelby Lawler and Aaron McIntyre. Corlew's first double delivered two runs and Amy Abramowich doubled in another Emily Fer- reira brought home the fourth run with a sacrifice fly Rachel Martin singled to get the second inning rampage started. Melissa Michaud sac- rificed her to second and Lawler singled in a run to make it 5-0. McIntyre then sin- gled and Corlew doubled in two more runs.

CR girls fall 5-2 to Hernando JOE KORNECKI III Correspondent CRYSTAL RIVER - The Crystal River girls ten- nis team (0-2 overall) suf- fered a 5-2 loss against an undefeated Hernando team Thursday night. The Leopards (4-0) won three out of the five singles matches and swept the two doubles matches. "We're treating these matches as learning expe- riences," Crystal River coach Cindy Reynolds said. "Our primary goal is to get ready for districts in April." In the singles matches, four out of five Pirates won the first set of their respec- tive matches, in which two Pirates won and two lost. Crystal River's No. 1 Nikki Moynihan was defeated 6- 1, 6-1 by Grace Curren. Hernando's No. 2 Shelby Marrero downed Veronica Williams in three sets. Williams took the first set 6-4, but Marrero came back strong in the next two sets winning both by a 6-2 score. The most hard-fought match and last match to be completed was three hours and 20 minutes long, and it featured the Pirates' No. 3 Crystal Menietti against the Leopards' Lida Marie Steinkamp. Menietti won the first set 7-5, but was de- feated in the next two sets 7-6, 7-6 in tiebreakers. Crystal River's No. 4 Anna Lane edged out Cait- lynn Nixon. Lane narrowly defeated Nixon in a first- set tiebreaker 7-6 (10-8) and the momentum car- ried her on to victory 6-4 in the second set. The Pirates' Olivia Parker cruised by Nikki Shamblin 6-1, 6-0 in Crystal River's most decisive vic- tory of the match. In the doubles matches, the Leopards No. 1 unit of Curren and Marrero mixed in some nice forehands and overhead shots and won 8-1 in a pro-set over Moynihan and Williams. At. No. 2 doubles, Sham- blin and Nixon beat the Pi- rates' Kelsey Schroder and Alanna Fields by an 8-4 score in another proset. The Pirates are now 0-2 to start the season. Harvick, Busch win Daytona 500 duels Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH There are two certainties heading into the Daytona 500: Kevin Harvick is the favorite, and no one is sure what the action will look like in the "Great American Race." Harvick remained perfect through Speedweeks on Thursday by winning the first of two 150-mile Bud- weiser Duel qualifying races, and the victory has po- sitioned him as the top pick to win NASCAR's version of the Super Bowl. Being labeled the favorite is the last thing the 2007 Daytona 500 winner wanted headed into Sunday's season-opener "We like to be the lame-duck underdog. That's what we're shooting for," Harvick said. Harvick is a perfect 2 for 2 at Daytona Interna- tional Speedway He also won an exhibition race last weekend. This strong start comes at a time when Har- vick has found a balance in his life with the addition of son, Keelan, who was born last July, and as he heads into his final season with Richard Childress Racing. Harvick has already decided to move to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014. "We've been fortunate to win the first two races of Speedweeks. We've just got to keep a level head on our shoulders, not get too high over what we've done, just do the same things that we've done," he said. "If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I think we definitely See Page B5 Kevin Harvick celebrates Thursday in Victory Lane after winning the first of two 150-mile qualifying races for the NASCAR Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach.

SEAN ARNOLD Correspondent While 16-year-old Karlin Ray is just getting started as a racecar driver, his bloodline links him back to over a half-century of racing tradition. Ray, of Floral City, won six fea- tures and seven heat races in the Pure Stocks division in his second year of racing in 2012, and now sits atop the Pure Stock standings after going 2 for 2 in feature wins to start this season. Ray's grandparents -his mater- nal grandfather Dave McInnis won the first Florida State Late Model Championship at Tampa's Golden Gate Speedway and both his parents, Robert and Kathy Ray, have a history on the track. Karlin Ray's connection to his family's racing was palpable even before he was born. His mother was preparing to pursue a champi- onship in the Street Stock class - then known as Hobby Stocks in 1996 when news arrived of an ad- dition to the family, derailing her ambitions. "We were working on my car, getting it ready for the champi- onship in January and I found out I was pregnant," Kathy Ray re- called. "I slammed the pregnancy test down on the fender of the car and told (my husband) Robert, 'You don't have to be in a hurry with my car, you've got nine months.' I was laughing and crying at the same time." Ray's father won the Open Wheel Modified championship at the Ocala Speedway in 1996 and collected a feature win the day his son was born. The No. 72 on Karlin Ray's car is even inspired by his parents. It represents the sum of both his fa- ther (No. 9) and mother's (No. 63, from McInnis' 1963 championship) car numbers. "Both my parents race and both my grandpas raced, and I just got wrapped in it," Karlin Ray said after his feature win last Saturday "I first got started two seasons ago, and we just started working on the car and I learned how to drive it and keep winning." Even with his background, Ray was reluctant toward racing at first, only turning to driving once his parents were mostly finished racing. "He loved working on the cars but he didn't really want to drive," said Ray's uncle, Dennis Webb, of Webb Roofing, who owns a collec- tion of open wheel modified cars, including those Robert Ray drove. "One thing I love about his parents is they never pushed him into it even though they both raced. "He struggled a little bit there in the beginning, but once he got it, he got it He's just the sweetest kid be- cause he acts the same whether he wins or loses. He doesn't pout or jump up and down, which I think is a tremendous trait" Along with Webb Roofing, Ray enjoys sponsorship support from his grandmother Ina Ray's FD.S. Disposal of Lecanto, Xeria Tech of Floral City and Single Stream Processors and Don's Plumbing, both of Lecanto. His mother says he does all the wrench-work him- self on the car. "I mostly work on it during the week," the Citrus High School stu- dent said. "Whenever we have to do something major, I'll work all night on it." Now that he's tasted the experi- ence of driving, there's no going back. "I just want to keep racing," Ray said of his future plans. "I just love the feel of it and the winning. Other guys at school play football and stuff, and I drive a race car." Patrick maintains pole position for Daytona Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH -All Danica Patrick needed to do was keep her car intact She didn't exactly follow her team owner's advice start and then park after two laps, he joked -but she certainly saved an all-out push for Sunday's Daytona 500. Patrick started on the pole for the first 150- mile Budweiser Duel before she coasted and finished 17th out of 23 cars. She'll keep the top spot for Sunday's Daytona 500. She led the field to green, then quietly faded to the back, never giving herself a chance to race for the win. "I suppose there's a sense of relief" she kept the pole, Patrick said. "But at the same point in time, I'm a race car driver, and it's not fun to have to protect and be careful and be cautious and drop back at times." Patrick was nowhere near the four-lap Danica Patrick waves to fans during driver introductions before Sprint Cups' Budweiser Duel 1 race Thursday at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach. Associated Press sprint to the finish that saw Kevin Harvick hold off Greg Biffle for the win. Patrick became the first woman in his- tory to win a pole in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series. Team owner Gene Haas even sug- gested perhaps, jokingly that Patrick call it a day after a couple of laps. Not a chance. "We really just wanted to run probably 10 or 15 laps and be in the pack, be in front" crew chief Tony Gibson said. "Once we got into a stalemate, we fell back, the inside line wasn't moving and it was just time to get out." No driver has won the Daytona 500 from the pole since Dale Jarrett in 2000. She can't rest easy yet, not with Cup practices Friday and Saturday, where any wreck could send her to the back of the field. But she passed the first major of Speedweeks since she thrust herself and NASCAR into the national spotlight with a history-making run at the pole for "The Great American Race." "My nerves will be calmed down a little bit Saturday afternoon when practice is over and our car's in one piece," Gibson said. $27,388. 12. (1) Jeff Gordon, Chevrolet, 60, 102.2, 0, $27,363. 13.

Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand also scored for Boston, which improved to 6-1-1 on the road. After blowing a two-goal lead, the Bruins took a 3-2 advantage on Marchand's goal from the slot with 6:02 to go in the second. Horton extended the lead to 4-2 when he redirected Zdeno Chara's pass at 2:33 of the third. Tampa Bay got goals from Steven Stamkos and Cory Conacher, but the Lightning's two-game win- ning streak, which fol- lowed an 0-5-1 stretch, was snapped. Panthers 5, Flyers 2 PHILADELPHIA- Jonathan Huberdeau and Peter Mueller each had two goals to help the Florida Pan- thers snap a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Tomas Kopecky also scored for Florida, which was 0-2-3 since a 3-2 shootout victory in Philadelphia on Feb. 7. Scott Clemmensen, who backs up Jose Theodore, stopped 32 shots to earn his first win since April 7. Luke Schenn and Jakub Voracek scored Philadelphia's goals in the third period. The Flyers came out flat one night after a wild 6-5 win at Pittsburgh. Devils 3, Capitals 2 WASHINGTON Ilya Ko- valchuk scored the tiebreak- ing goal on a 5-on-3 power play with about 8 1/2 minutes left to complete the New Jer- sey Devils' 3-2 comeback vic- tory over the Washington Capitals, who have yet to beat any of the Eastern Confer- ence's elite teams. Washington led 2-1 enter- ing the third period, thanks to power-play goals by Mathieu Perrault and Mike Ribeiro. Andrei Loktionov made it 2-all midway through the last period, and Kovalchuk dropped to a knee as he let the puck fly to put New Jersey ahead for the first time off Pa- trik Elias' assist. Elias had scored a short-handed goal in the second period. The East-worst Capitals dropped to 0-7-1 against the conference's top six teams. Maple Leafs 3, Sabres 1 TORONTO James van Riemsdyk scored two goals to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs Florida Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen deflects a Flyers shot Thursday in Philadelphia. past the Buffalo Sabres 3-1, spoiling the NHL head coach- ing debut of Ron Rolston. Rolston, who until Wednes- day was the head coach of the AHL's Rochester Ameri- cans, was hired as the Sabres interim coach following the club's decision to fire Lindy Ruff. Van Riemsdyk's power-play goal at 14:28 of the third - his team-leading 11th gave Toronto breathing room after Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller stopped Van Riemsdyk with a fabulous glove save earlier on the power play. Dion Phaneuf also scored Toronto, which won its third straight home game. Ben Scrivens stopped 31 shots for his third win in five starts since James Reimer's knee injury Feb. 11. Tyler Ennis scored for Buffalo. Blue Jackets 3, Red Wings 2 DETROIT Vinny Prospal scored with 24.7 seconds left, capping a comeback that lifted the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Damien Brunner and Valt- teri Filppula scored in the first 2-plus minutes of the game to put the Red Wings ahead by two, a cushion they wasted for a third time during their five-game losing streak. R.J. Umberger's power- play goal a couple of minutes after Detroit took its two-goal lead pulled Columbus within one. Derek Dorsett tied it in the third period. Prospal's backhander off crisp passes from James Wis- niewski and Derek Dorsett ended the Blue Jackets' three-game losing streak. Jets 4, Hurricanes 3 RALEIGH, N.C.

Heat roll Bulls Associated Press CHICAGO LeBron James scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls 86-67 Thursday for their season- high ninth straight win. James also had seven assists in another big per- formance after ending his franchise-record seven- game streak of scoring at least 30 the previous night in Atlanta. Dwyane Wade added 17 points, and the Heat took control in the first half, sending the Bulls to their fifth loss in seven games on a night when the Der- rick Rose recovery story took another twist After saying last week that he wouldn't rush back from his knee injury to play this season if he was- n't ready, Chicago's side- lined superstar had to go into damage control mode after his older brother Reggie blasted the organi- zation in an ESPNChicago.com article for not making a move be- fore Thursday's trade deadline. Things didn't get much better for the Bulls once the game started. Nate Robinson scored 14 points, Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 11 re- bounds and Joakim Noah added 11 points, eight re- bounds and eight assists, but he also committed four of the Bulls' season- high 27 turnovers. Chicago was particu- larly bad in the first half, coughing it up 17 times as the Heat built a 45-35 lead, and the Bulls came up short after winning at Miami last month. This time, the Heat took con- trol in the second quarter, scoring 13 straight points during a 4 1/2-minute stretch to turn a two-point deficit into an 11-point ad- vantage even though James was on the bench for much of the run. It started after a soaring right-handed dunk by Taj Gibson to give Chicago a 28-26 lead with 8:16 re- maining. Allen answered with a driving layup, Wade followed with two jumpers and the Bulls turned it over five times as the Heat built a 39-28 lead. Marco Belinelli ended the scoring drought for Chicago with a free throw, and Boozer then nailed a jumper after Bosh buried a 20-footer.

Rasheed Sulaimon added 17 points and Mason Plum- lee had 13 points and 12 re- bounds for the Blue Devils (23-3, 10-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) as they moved coach Mike Krzyzewski into sole possession of third place on the career list for victories at one school with 877. California 48, No. 23 Oregon 46 EUGENE, Ore. Justin Cobbs' jumper with 0.7 sec- onds to play gave California a 48-46 victory over No. 23 Oregon. Cobbs' shot, which came after the Golden Bears (17- 9, 9-5 Pac-12) ran nearly all of the final 26 seconds off the clock, hit nothing but net. Cobbs finished with 14 points and Allen Crabbe had 12 for Cal, which has won four straight. Arsalan Kazemi had 11 points and 18 rebounds for the Ducks (21-6, 10-4). -From wire reports SPORTS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2013 B3 B4 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2013 NBA standings EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division W L Pct GB NewYork 32 19 .627 Brooklyn 33 22 .600 1 Boston 28 26 .519 5/2 Philadelphia 22 30 .423 10'2 Toronto 22 33 .400 12 Southeast Division W L Pct GB Miami 38 14 .731 Atlanta 29 23 .558 9 Washington 15 37 .288 23 Orlando 15 39 .278 24 Charlotte 13 41 .241 26 Central Division W L Pct GB Indiana 33 21 .611 - Chicago 31 23 .574 2 Milwaukee 26 27 .491 6V2 Detroit 22 34 .393 12 Cleveland 17 37 .315 16 WESTERN CONFERENCE Southwest Division W L Pct GB San Antonio 43 12 .782 - Memphis 35 18 .660 7 Houston 30 26 .536 13/2 Dallas 24 29 .453 18 New Orleans 19 36 .345 24 Northwest Division W L Pct GB Oklahoma City 39 15 .722 - Denver 34 21 .618 5/2 Utah 31 24 .564 8/2 Portland 25 29 .463 14 Minnesota 20 31 .392 17/2 Pacific Division W L Pct GB L.A.

I S O R T B I E F - Panthers strand 12 in 54 loss at Vanguard The Lecanto softball team had runners on base all night but couldn't bring enough of them home in a 5-4 setback at Ocala Vanguard on Thursday night. Stranding 12 base runners total, the Panthers left the bases loaded three times once while down a run in the top of the seventh inning. Lily Parrish, Amber Atkinson (run), Sid- ney Holstein (run) and Paige Richards each had two hits for Lecanto while Amber Russo (run), Amber Hopkins (RBI) and Jordan Martin (RBI) also contributed. Lecanto (1-1 overall) plays 7 p.m. tonight at home against Groveland South Lake. Hurricanes' bats come alive late at Nature Coast Led by sophomore starting pitcher Alex Atkinson's efficient outing, the Citrus baseball team scored a 9-1 victory at Brooksville Nature Coast on Thursday. Atkinson allowed two walks, six hits and one earned run while striking out six over six innings. Offensively, Cody Bogart homered and doubled for Citrus while Mitchell Ellis (2 for 3, double, two RBIs) and Cy Yates (two-run single) chipped in. Citrus (2-2) plays tonight at West Port. -From staff reports Associated Press Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid answers a question Thursday during a news conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis. Chiefs' free agent choices could impact No. 1 draft pick Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS -The Kansas City Chiefs are still deciding what do with receiver Dwayne Bowe and left tackle Branden Albert and it could have an impact on how they use the No. 1 pick in April's draft. Bowe and Albert could both be- come free agents next month. And with a top-heavy class of offensive linemen available, including Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M, what the Chiefs do over the next two weeks could dictate how the draft falls. "I did have a chance to look at him, and I'll tell you, he's a pretty good foot- ball player," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Joeckel. "I haven't had an op- portunity to meet him. I look forward to having that opportunity." Bowe played in only 13 games last season because of injuries, but he still had 59 catches for 801 yards and three touchdowns. The former first-round draft pick has been the Chiefs' top wide receiver almost since his arrival, catching 415 passes over the past six seasons. Last season, the Chiefs kept him with the franchise tag. When the two sides couldn't work out a long-term deal, Bowe refused to report to the team until midway through training camp. Reid said Thursday at the NFEs an- nual scouting combine that no deci- sion has been made on Bowe, though it appears franchising him again is a possibility if they can't sign him to a new deal. The only other option is to let him test the free-agent market. "We are going through that right now," Reid said. "Free agency kicks off here in a little bit (March 12) and we will see what happens before free agency The main thing is, there is communication there and we'll just see how it works out over the next few weeks." The bigger question might be what the Chiefs will do with Albert. He was limited to 11 starts last season be- cause of a back injury and has only played in 16 games once in the last five seasons. But he recently traveled to Kansas City to undergo a physical, and Reid said the team is still dis- cussing his situation. "I had him in because he had a fairly significant injury, so we've kind of got to work through that," Reid said. "Our doctors were able to evaluate him, we're talking through it and we'll kind of reconvene after we're done with this week down here." Another option would be trading out of the No. 1 pick, something Reid did not discount. "We're going to evaluate every- SOFTBALL Continued from Page B1 Liptrap, two errors and a ground out byJosey After Seven Rivers narrowed the gap to 9-2 in the sixth, Citrus pushed across three more in the seventh on singles by Martin and Josey, followed with one out by four Seven Rivers' er- rors to score three runs. Focused on replay issues INDIANAPOLIS The NFL wants to avoid a replay of what happened in De- troit on Thanksgiving when Lions coach Jim Schwartz threw a challenge flag on a touchdown run, negating an automatic replay. NFL executive vice president of foot- ball operations Ray Anderson promised Wednesday the rule would be fixed be- fore next season. During a game against Houston, Schwartz threw the challenge flag on an 81-yard touchdown run by the Texans' Justin Forsett. Replays clearly showed Forsett's knee and elbow touched the turf at the Houston 25 when he was hit by Lions defenders. Because all scoring plays are auto- matically reviewed, Schwartz was given a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and the review was not allowed. Anderson said the most important thing is getting the call right. -From wire report thing," he said. "We're just not going to give it away, so we'd have to see what people throw our way. It's a pretty valuable pick." PEY-OFF: Broncos coach John Fox dropped some bad news on the rest of the league Thursday when he said Peyton Manning could be even better in 2013 than he was in 2012. The reasoning is simple. A year ago, as Manning worked out at Duke, he was still trying to regain strength in his right arm after multiple surgeries to repair nerve damage in his neck. Now Manning will have another off- season to recover, another offseason to fine-tune the Denver offense and work with teammates. "The reality was that it was a nerve situation and it takes the nerves a while to grow," Fox said. "He is getting better every day and health-wise I be- lieve he will be even better next year." Whether that translates to better numbers on the field is the great un- known. QUOTE OF THE DAY: When Lions coach Jim Schwartz was asked about the concern over BYU defensive line- man Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah's practice habits, Schwartz answered: "Allen Iverson." QUOTE OF THE DAY II: When Car- dinals head coach Bruce Arians was asked about assistant coach Tom Pratt, a 34-year coaching veteran who was on Hank Stram's staff with the Chiefs in the 1960s, Moore said: "No- body else can say they've got a guy who coached in Super Bowl I." Kim Iwaniec's lead-off single in the seventh was the Warriors' only hit. "We played a really good team, one that's very well-coached," Dreyer said. "This just tells me what we have to work on. I'm not worrying about this. "In fact, if you look at it like that, it shows me what we have to work on, I'll take this as a positive." With that type of perspective, one could conclude there were no losers in this game. SCOREBOARD CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Orlando's Redick shipped to Milwaukee NBA trade deadline features only minor moves Associated Press NEW YORK The only trade involving Dwight Howard came last summer The potent scorers that moved did so long ago. There was no eye-catching ac- tivity left for deadline day, re- sulting in minor deals Thursday to the disappointment of those hoping for a frenzy Josh Smith stayed put and the Boston Celtics' core stayed to- gether, leaving J.J. Redick, dealt to Milwaukee, as the biggest name to be traded. There were nine moves, noth- ing approaching a blockbuster and none to jump-start the Lakers. Players such as James Harden and Rudy Gay were traded far before the deadline, but with Associated Press Dallas' Shawn Marion, left, and Elton Brand defend Wednesday as Orlando's J.J. Redick makes a pass beneath the basket in Dallas. The Magic agreed to trade veteran shooting guard Redick, center Gustavo Ayon and reserve point guard Ish Smith to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for guards Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih, as well as forward Tobias Harris. teams perhaps fearful of new penalties for the biggest spenders, Thursday was mostly quiet. "I don't think I've seen fewer trade deadline deals, ever," said Houston general manager Daryl Morey, who completed two trades Wednesday "But I think it's a one-year blip." The Atlanta Hawks held onto Smith, and Utah kept both Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson on a day when much attention was fo- cused on both situations, since those players have value and could leave their teams this summer as free agents. The long-shot deals never ma- terialized. Howard remained in Los Angeles, just what Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak repeatedly said would happen. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce will continue wearing Celtic green, as will Rajon Rondo when he's healthy enough to put on a uniform again. The Celtics did make one deal, acquiring guard Jordan Crawford from the Washington Wizards for center Jason Collins and injured guard Leandro Barbosa. Those were the types of trades that were left after the big names that were available had already been moved. Golden State sent forward Je- remy Tyler to Atlanta and guard Charles Jenkins to Philadelphia in separate deals, slicing more than $1.5 million off its payroll after beginning the day about $1.2 million over the league's $70,307,000 luxury tax. Magic and Bobcats trade forwards CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Charlotte Bobcats acquired Josh McRoberts from the Orlando Magic on Thursday in exchange for Hakim Warrick in a trade in- volving two backup veteran forwards. The 6-foot-10 McRoberts, who played at Duke, has appeared in 41 games this season with three starts and is averaging 3.9 points and 3.7 rebounds. -From wire report Rebuilding after trading Howard, the Magic decided Redick wasn't in their plans while averaging career highs in points (15.1) and field goal per- centage (45.0). He was traded along with center Gustavo Ayon and reserve point guard Ish Smith to the Bucks in exchange for guards Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih, and forward Tobias Harris. Associated Press Northern Ireland's Rory Mcllroy reacts Thursday after a shot on the 10th fairway in the first round against Shane Lowry, of Ireland, during the Match Play Cham- pionship in Marana, Ariz. Mcllroy, ranked No. 1 in the world, was defeated by Lowry 1 up. McIlroy, Woods bounced from Match Play 081106 T1m7 Associated Press MARANA, Ariz. The snow is gone from the Match Play Championship, and so are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. In a stunning conclusion to what already is a bizarre week on Dove Mountain, Shane Lowry of Ireland made a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole to eliminate Rory McIlroy in the open- ing round of golf's most un- predictable tournament It was the third time in the last four years the No. 1 seed went home after one round. Moments later, Charles Howell III finished off a fabulous round in cold conditions by defeating Woods on the 17th hole. Howell, who had not faced Woods in match play since losing to him in the third round of the 1996 U.S. Am- ateur, played bogey-free on a course that still had patches of snow and ice after being cleared Thurs- day morning. McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, built a 2-up lead early in the match until Lowry rallied and grabbed the moment by chipping in for birdie on the par-3 12th and then rip- ping a fairway metal to within a few feet for a con- ceded eagle on the 13th. The Match Play Champi- onship lost its two biggest stars in one day The only other time the top two seeds lost in the opening round was in 2002, when Woods and Mickelson lost at La Costa. Luke Donald nearly made it the top three seeds except for a clutch per- formance. He holed a 10- foot birdie putt to halve the 17th hole and stay tied with Marcel Siem of Germany Donald then birdied the 18th from 7 feet to win the match. the mend Jeter one of many stars returning from injuries Associated Press Derek Jeter crumpled to the dirt, his season sud- denly over and his future uncertain. New York's pennant hopes faded quickly after the star shortstop broke his ankle last October, and the offseason wasn't much eas- ier for the Yankees, with Jeter and his team forced into a tense recovery process that still isn't over "Our big thing is not to have any setbacks now," manager Joe Girardi said recently "Let's not push this too fast. Let's get to where he's supposed to be when he's supposed to be there, and not hurry But, it's really nice to see him on the field." For Jeter and the Yan- kees, the April 1 season opener against Boston is looking more like a dead- line than a day of anticipa- tion. Jeter insists he'll be in the lineup that afternoon, but teammate Alex Ro- driguez has no chance. Then there's closer Mari- ano Rivera, who is recover- ing from a major injury of his own after hurting his knee last May And the Yankees are just one club with the injury bug. All around baseball, division races may be de- cided not by offseason moves or midsummer sur- prises but by how well teams can keep their top players on the field. "I think you get to the point where you can't count on what happens with an injury, that a lot of times, it goes on a lot longer than you think," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke, whose first baseman, Corey Hart, is coming off right knee surgery "I think you just kind of move on. You expect things not to go as you would like them to." Trying to handicap the NL West race between the World Series champion Gi- ants and the new-look Dodgers?

No matter what a team did during the offseason, a significant injury can ruin the best of plans. The Blue Jays look like contenders in the AL East after acquiring Jose Reyes and R.A.

Atlanta was among the biggest newsmakers in the National League, signing B.J. Upton and trading for his brother Justin.

DUELS Continued from Page B1 have the car and team to be in contention to do that" But nobody is quite sure what the 500 will look like with NASCAR's new Gen-6 race car Sunday's race will go off with a full 43-car field, double the amount of cars that ran in Thursday's qualifying races. There were 19 cars in last Saturday's exhibition. Kyle Busch, winner of the second duel, believes more cars on the track will create a much different race than what fans have seen so far All three races at Speedweeks to date have lacked much action as drivers continue to learn the new cars and how it reacts in traffic and different aerodynamic situations. "With more cars out there, we might see it be a little bit different come Sunday," Busch said. "There were half the field in each race, obviously There's going to be twice as many good cars, twice as many middle of the pack cars, twice as many back of the pack cars. If you can get your car handling, driving, feeling good, you'll be able to be one of the guys that's up front" Busch gave Toyota its first victory of Speedweeks and snapped Chevrolet's dominance. Harvick took the new Chevro- let SS to Victory Lane twice, and Danica Patrick put it on the Daytona 500 pole in time trials. Busch held off Kasey Kahne, in a Chevrolet, and learned the driver out front is in the strongest position. "It's hard to pass the leader," said Busch. "Stay out front When you get out front, you can hold everyone off." In the first race, Harvick held off Greg Biffle over a four-lap sprint to win. Harvick and Biffle also went 1-2 in last Saturday night's exhibition race. The starting field for the Daytona 500 is set by the results from the pair of 60-lap qualifiers, but Patrick held onto the pole by running a safe race in the first qualifier The first woman to win a pole at NASCAR's top level, Patrick earned the top starting spot in time trials last weekend. She started first in the first qualifier, raced a bit early, then faded back to run a conservative race and ensure she'll start first in the 500. The first race was dull until Denny Ham- lin brought out the only caution with seven laps remaining. Hamlin lost control of his car, spun into Carl Edwards and triggered a four-car accident that also collected Regan Smith and Trevor Bayne, who had a dominant car early in the qualifier Hamlin said the accident was a product of drivers trying to learn the nuances of NASCAR's new Gen-6 car Juan Pablo Montoya, who infamously crashed into a jet dryer during last year's Daytona 500 to trigger a massive fuel fire, stopped for minor repairs during the cau- tion. Montoya restarted the race in 13th with four laps remaining, but rocketed through the field to finish third. "It was time to go," he said. "It's hard, you don't want to tear up the car, and at the same time you want to go. The bumpers are a little fragile. You have to be careful with that. You want to have a good car at the end." Austin Dillon, grandson of team owner Richard Childress, finished third in the second qualifying race to put his Richard Childress Racing car in the Daytona 500. It will be the 22-year-old Dillon's first Day- tona 500. "I'm glad my grandfather can sleep now," Dillon said. "He was wearing me out before the race." Brian Keselowski, older brother of reign- ing Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, was the one driver who truly had to race his way into the Daytona 500 in the first qualifier But he lacked speed early, fell two laps down and missed the race. Mike Bliss was the driver from the sec- ond qualifier trying to make the Daytona 500 field, but finished five laps down and didn't make the race.

Today's Highlight: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washing- ton, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony. On this date: In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China. In 1865, Tennessee adopted a new constitution which included the abolition of slavery. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations. In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty. In 1980, the "Miracle on Ice" took place in Lake Placid, N.Y., as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1993, the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved creation of an international war crimes tribunal to punish those re- sponsible for atrocities in the for- mer Yugoslavia. Ten years ago: Jesica Santil- lan, the teenager who'd survived a botched heart-lung transplant long enough to get a second set of do- nated organs, died two days after the second transplant at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. Five years ago: Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq in their first major ground incursion against Kurdish rebel bases in nearly a decade. One year ago: Ajury in Char- lottesville, Va., found University of Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely V guilty of second-degree murder in the death of his ex- girlfriend and lacrosse player Yeardley Love in May 2010. Today's Birthdays: Announcer Don Pardo is 95. Actor Paul Doo- ley is 85. Hollywood "ghost singer" Marni Nixon is 83. Actor John Ash- ton is 65. Basketball Hall of Famer Julius Erving is 63.

The fifth film in the "Die Hard" series, action star Bruce Willis has es- tablished a successful franchise with sequels that are arguably all wor- thy predecessors to the original (though none of them have managed to be better). Now the question is, does "A Good Day to Die Hard" live up to the series' iconic name? McClane's son Jack (Jai Courtney) has gotten into a bit of trouble during a spe- cial ops mission in Moscow. In the process of trying to crack a terrorist plot, Jack is taken into custody by the Russian police. But no worries, because daddy McClane is going on a "va- cation" to Russia to relax, lay by the pool, and... wait, that's not right He's going on "vacation" to find his son, kill a bunch of "scum- bags," and create some big explosions. And that is all you need to know for the simple plot of this movie.

It is called "Fri- day Night Thunder," which is the third Friday of every month from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the parking area of the gov- ernment center in downtown Inverness. Ken M The event started more CA than two years ago by the city CO of Inverness to promote the downtown area and provide local car enthusiasts with an organized gathering spot each month. The city at- tempted to run the event for a year with- out help from local car clubs. When the officers of the Citrus MOPAR car club heard the Inverness representatives were looking for help, they offered to run the event beginning July 2011. The number of cars attending the monthly cruise-in can vary, depending on the weather But on a good night, as many as 80 or more gorgeous cars and trucks are there. All years, makes and models are welcome to join the fun. Spectators also are welcome browse and admire the vehicles. Citrus MOPAR also cranks out '50s, '60s and '70s music and runs a 50/50 drawing. The club has arranged with most of the downtown restaurants to provide a discount on the third Fridays for attendees who purchase $5 or more of 50/50 tickets. Another fun activity is Valve Cover Racing. The race cars are made using actual valve covers from engines by at- taching four wheels and any other items as long as the total weight is less the 10 pounds. No motors or propul- sion of any kind can be used on the race cars. They can be S painted and/or decorated any way the owner prefers. Each car has three runs down a track and the one that goes the farthest wins. The wooden track for the race was built by one of the cNally Citrus MOPAR club mem- LR bers, Gene Raby, who has NER quite a skill in working with wood. He has built many things, including a beautiful full-size replica of an old-time service station gas pump, which is in my garage. He is currently working on a number of exterior wooden body parts for a 1935 Ford pickup truck he is building. Gene is also treasurer of the MOPAR club.

The whole film revolved around a cop taking down a bunch of bad guys with guns, and it all took place in a building. It was a great film. And the other "Die Hard" films were very sim- ilar in plot structure. Un- fortunately for this film, the big problem (of sev- eral) was it tried to be more like other films. First, "Die Hard 5" tries to be like James Bond. I thought this during the very first scene when the jazzy spy music started playing. Nice cars were paraded everywhere, at- tractive females in nice dresses were walking around. It was very Bond- ish. And if that was not enough, the plot tried to stock up on these plot twists such as those found in spy-thrillers. Unfortu- nately, it was a sloppy at- tempt at storytelling. At one point, I actually asked one of the people with me what was going on. He did not know, and neither did the others. Then I said to myself, "This is too much thinking for a Die Hard film." I don't watch "Die Hard" for a plot-twisting mystery. I watch "Die Hard" to see Free workshops include: Basic fingerstyle guitar with Pete Price; Mandolin with Red and Chris Henry; Harmonica with Stan Geberer; Fiddle with Katie Bailey; Advanced fingerstyle with Clyde Walker; Wooden flutes with Ray Wood; John McClane beat up sev- eral guys (more on that later) and make sarcastic remarks. Second, "Die Hard 5" tries to be like "The Fast and Furious" films. This film is only 90 minutes, so there is not a lot of time to establish a plot and char- acters. Since the film does not even do that, there is more time for great actions sequences full of guns and fists. Instead, you see a drawn-out, car-chasing se- quence that feels like it lasts for a half hour. It is entertaining for the first five minutes. I could have let that go, except the other action scenes are increas- ingly sub-par I left only re- membering all the cars crashing into each other. Where is the gun- shooting, punch-throwing goodness of all the other Dulcimer with Aaron O'Rourke; and Voice with Amy Carol Webb. $32 in advance and $37 at gate.

The heart of the flaw of "A Good Day to Die Hard" is this: the film tries to be more than a "Die Hard" film, it tries to create a new formula. The problem is, there was never a prob- lem with the old formula. The "Die Hard" films have a good track record until this point. This new in- stallment strays so far away from the original's heart and soul in its at- tempt to create something new, and that something is a mess full of cheesy dia- logue, an unnecessary and weak story, and surpris- ingly enough not enough action worthy of the se- ries. I give it one star out of four. "A Good Day to Die Hard" has a running time of 97 minutes and is rated R entertainment, arts, crafts and food court, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March 9, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 4, at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, 6131 Commercial Way, Weeki Wachee.

To benefit Citrus Memorial Health System r irsMmoilHalhSse CITRUS MEMORIAL H ^^ei~ fGS~kftww, I loved Frank Langella in "The Box," so I was super curious about the appropriately named "Robot and Frank" flick. Of course, I admired Langella's super smooth features and distinct nos- trils, not to . mention his great acting. Surprisingly, "Robot" 7 (voiced by Peter Sars- gaard) holds his own Heathe against his FOS seasoned co- star. Moreover, ON I I enjoyed the subtle, not-too-far in the future setting as well as the slow, strange bedfel- lows take on the sci-fi genre. Last but not least, "Robot and Frank" had some golden comedy "Robot and Frank" centers on Frank, an ex- catburglar who is old, slightly senile and living alone. Frank's daughter, Madison (Liv Tyler), trav- els the globe doing chari- table work while his son, Hunter (James Marsden), is busy with a wife and kids. Neither see him much. Tight on time, Hunter purchases a robot butler (voiced by Peter Sars- gaard) to watch his father At first, Frank objects to the chipper little droid along with his strict rou- tine and steamed veggie meals, but he grows on him. "Robot" is so eager to keep Frank sharp, he helps him with heists. A beautiful friendship is born. Frank Langella is the archetypical grandpa with his wry humor, exas- perated groans and even his posture. From there, you can't help but con- nect to him. However, Langella is hardly a rosy, hallmark STARTING MARCH 1 Dayz Gone By Antique Shop I F Specializing in Antiques, Repurposed and Vintage Finds S/i ,,I- the same buiillini', at 652 N.

You see him de- clining. The Alzheimer's makes Frank slovenly and aggressive. At points, Langella stares blankly, which really is tragic. As a result, Robot's willingness to ,D help Frank is HJ doubly ad- mirable. Rachael Ma, the petite ac- C tress who per- formed Robot, has a slow, me- thodical way of SFoster moving to cap- TER ture the droid's sweet, :ILM conscientious nature. Sars- gaard gives Robot a flat, synthetic voice. Yet at points, he adds just enough of a pessimistic cadence to make you wonder if Robot is all ar- tificial. Besides its stellar leads, "Robot and Frank" has such a fresh, quiet premise. The down- played futuristic setting does not obstruct the story by any means. Fleeting details like a super slim Smart Car - make Robot's presence believable. Also, I like how the movie empha- sizes how Frank thinks more of the Robot than his children. Something is slightly off with the man-machine bond, but once Langella steeps you in Frank's mindset, it seems wrong to put Robot on the backburner. By and Large, "Robot and Frank" is a fantastic movie. I give it an A+. With a running time of 89 minutes, Robot and Frank is rated PG-13 for some language. "Robot and Frank" is available at Redbox kiosks. Heather Foster is a senior at the University ofFlorida.

Louis Nizer, a noted trial lawyer who died in 1994, said, "When a man points a finger at some- one else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself." In bridge, points those for high cards are very important. If it helps, count points on your fingers under the table, where no one else can see. Or use your fingers and toes! Often, tracking high-card points will be in- valuable for finding the right play In this deal, how should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the diamond jack? South's advance of one spade showed zero to 8 points. (With 9 to 11, he would have jumped to two spades, and with 12 or more, he would have cue-bid two diamonds.) When North raised to two spades, he was saying that game was still possible. So he was promising 18 or 19 points. Now South, with six points and a fifth trump, was happy to jump to game. East could see three tricks: the spade king and two diamonds. But the bidding suggested that South would have the heart king and at least one of the major-suit queens. If South had the spade queen, East had to hope his side would get a third-round heart trick. But if South had the heart queen, a second trump trick could be promoted. East won the first trick with the diamond queen (in case West's jack was a singleton), cashed the diamond king, and carefully contin- ued with the diamond six. West saw what was required, ruffing with his spade queen. Now the contract had to fail. Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words. WARLT .'1- T.,,. .. I.

I wasn't invited to her wedding, so I am not sure. I think she received a master's degree, but I wasn't in- vited to her gradu- ation, so I'm not sure of that, ei- ther. Linda's mother left me for her married lover when our daugh- ter was 6. Instead of taking custody, I felt it best for her mother to raise ANN her, which was a big mistake. My MAII current wife en- joyed a good relationship with Linda. We visited her during her college years and gave her money to spend. But once she finished her degree, we never heard from her again. She didn't reply to our phone calls, letters or emails. Linda's brother informed me she and her husband have four children we have never met. The oldest must be about 16 and the youngest about 3, but I do not know any of their birthdates. When I tried to find out why she stopped all contact, the only thing she said was, "Whatever the reason that you think it is." Linda was trained as a family counselor. What hap- pened in her training that would lead her to refuse a relationship with her own father? The divorce wasn't my idea, so why am I left out II in the cold? Father Who Can't See His Child Dear Father: This has nothing to do with Linda's training. More likely, it is some grudge she has been holding onto for years. Since you are in contact with your son and he is in touch with his sis- L ter, ask him to act as your intermedi- ary. Have him tell Linda you are sorry for anything you may have done that has created S this estrangement, and you want to know how to rec- oncile. We hope IE she is responsive. E'S Dear Annie: I BOX am only 11, but I want the truth and not the lies most people tell kids. I have had a best friend, "Janie," for about four years. I am an only child, and my parents are divorced, so Janie is everything to me. I recently started middle school, and now we only have one class together. Janie recently became friends with another girl. I don't think I can compete with this girl, because she is really pretty and wears de- signer clothes. Anyway, Janie and this girl always hang out together, and it makes me feel really left out. I can't lose her. She is like the sister I never had. Should I do something? If so, what? Lost and Alone Dear Lost: Here's the truth, and you may not like it: In middle school, it is not unusual for children to de- velop new interests and new friends. Some of them dis- card their old friends in the process. If Janie is so shal- low she chooses her friends based on their clothes, she's not much of a true friend, and we think you know that. It's OK to tell her you miss the friendship you once had and then see whether she is more attentive. But you are also changing and maturing. As much as you have relied on Janie in the past, it's time for you to hold your head up and make new friends who are steadfast and appreciate you as you are. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Dear Annie: Like "Too Well Endowed in Kansas," I have struggled for years with the same problem. I'm 72 years old, and my current doctor is the only one who suggested breast re- duction as a way to help with my back, neck and other is- sues. I figured I was too old, but the doctor said I was a perfect candidate. I had sur- gery and am loving the re- sults.

Baring major disasters or life- altering occurrences, we hold onto some of these and add to our overall collections through time. From our first piece of "real" jewelry, to some magical toy from the past, these items along with our life purchases of homes, furnishings, vehicles, collections and all else acquired, make up the content our estate. In addition to these physical ob- jects, many of us may possess rights to various types of proprietary items to include, but not limited to, patents, copyrights, royalties or trademarked secrets. While not held in many instances with the same level of emotional attachment, these things may possess marketable value and are all part of who we are and what we control, which ultimately determines our net worth. When one is working the exercise of estate planning, it is important that all the aspects of wealth or per- sonal accumulation be explored. In doing so, the individual, family or trust can have an efficient and ac- curate plan in place to help deal with their transfer, sale or final disposi- tion. The act of doing this in advance while in a clear state of mind and without duress will result in a more accurate directive and successful estate plan. Knowing who to turn to and how the process works will help all those involved, especially in a time of be- reavement and emotional challenges. In making the decisions necessary to provide a pathway to the most favor- able outcome in ensuring your direc- tives are met, it would prudent to include the advice of a professional. In the preparation the overall plan, the assistance of an estate or probate lawyer and/or estate planning profes- sional should in most cases prove to be not only time effective, but an economic savings in the end. As for the disposition of personal, real or proprietary property, it is im- portant to include in your directive a plan to utilize the assistance of com- pany which is experienced, licensed and educated in such matters.

Friday, February 22, 2013 G3 ESTATE PLANING CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE The Magic Number: How Much Will You Need? Is there a goose egg where your nest egg should be? There's no time like the present to work on your financial future. By Lori Cullen CTW Features Retirement is supposed to reward a life well planned, but it won't if you don't have enough savings. Recent stud- ies show most of us don't. About four in 10 adults are more worried about their ability to finance a comfort- able retirement today than they were at the end of the Great Recession in 2009, ac- cording to a survey con- ducted by the Pew Research Center. Another study, by the Em- ployee Benefit Research In- stitute, reports that 67 percent of workers feel behind in re- tirement savings, and 56 per- cent don't even know how much they'll need. Financial planning experts say it's never too late to start saving and investing for re- tirement or working to im- prove your outlook. If you're worried about your financial future, now is the time to think and plan ahead. The financial planning in- dustry abounds with recom- mendations for how much money it costs to finance a comfortable retirement: 80 to 110 percent of the annual salary you made during your peak earning years; 20 to 25 times your final salary for those who will rely solely on Social Security and personal savings. These rules of thumb make general assumptions about post-work years, estimates that often aren't much help for individuals. That's exactly the reason Leonard F. Val- letta, CFP, of Albany Finan- cial Group in Albany, N.Y., doesn't like them. "It's not a simple answer, as much as we'd like it to be," says Valletta. "It differs for everyone and comes down to what your expenses will be." Retirement planning is a balance between financial re- sources and lifestyle, he says. For some people retirement dreams include having time to take long walks and live a simple lifestyle. Others might expand their lifestyle. Valletta en- courages all clients to enter retire- ment totally debt-free, if they can, but not every- body does. In retire- ment, basic expenses can change. You may not need business cloth- ing, or as much insurance, and if you no longer have children at home, expenses such as education might go away. But home maintenance and health care costs may in- crease, and you may pick up new expenses, like premiums for long-term-care insurance, he says. To know how much you'll need, add the cost of your de- sired retirement lifestyle to your expectations of basic living expenses. If you want to determine if you can live on your pro- jected budget, take it for a test drive. If your anticipated re- tirement lifestyle included downsizing and you reduce your income, put the differ- ence into savings, Valletta says. While most Americans will receive Social Security bene- fits, these payments were never intended to support a comfortable lifestyle. The Center on Budget and J Policy Priori- ties in Wash- Sington, D.C., reports that for people who worked all of their adult lives at average earn- ings and retire at 65 in 2012, Social Security benefits re- place about 41 percent of past earnings, far less than even the lowest replacement ratio suggested by financial plan- ning experts. One of the best planning strategies is to start now, says Valletta. Most employers offer tax- advantaged workplace retire- ment plans, which can be powerful tools to build retire- ment savings, especially if they offer matching contribu- tions. The amounts you're al- lowed to contribute are significant, he says. If you're under 50, in 2012 the maximum contribution level is $17,000 and $17,500 in 2013. If you are turning 50 in 2013, you can contribute an additional $5,500 in catch- up contributions for a total of $23,000, and it's all pre-tax. Bill Losey, CFP, owner of Bill Losey Retirement Solu- tions in Saratoga, N.Y, says the best advice to help people kick-start retirement savings is that the government and your company are not going to take care of you. Gone are the days of your parents' pen- sion plans. Your financial well-being is your responsi- bility. Most financial planners say you need to save 10 to 20 per- cent of whatever you make. When consumers who don't have great cash flow or have a lot of expenses hear those things, they just tune out and say I can't save anything, Losey says. He combats this by offering his own 1 percent rule: Save 1 percent of your earnings each payday at a minimum. "Let's say you get a 3 per- cent increase at work; save 1 percent and spend the other 2 percent," he says. "That way, you'll continually increase your savings rate, but you'll also enjoy a higher standard of living." Losey's second rule: Make savings automatic, a habit that will improve your chance of savings success. With payroll deduction, saving is effortless. Pay your- self first the most impor- tant rule of personal cash management. If you don't have a workplace plan, have money automatically paid from your checking account into an IRA. "If you automate the process and you get in the habit of saving money, all of a sudden you actually start to feel better about yourself, and you will see your net worth rising," says Losey. "As your net worth rises, so does your self-worth and your confi- dence, and you end up mak- ing more and saving more."

G4 Friday, February 22, 2013 ESTATE PLANING CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Three easy steps to plan funeral or cremation The value of planning ahead is one of those les- sons in life we learn the hard way. Early on, procras- tination seems like the way to go. But then, the conse- quences start setting in - messy room, failing grades, chores left undone, and a whole lot of time spent alone "thinking about what you did." In the end, you don't save time; you miss out on all the fun. If those early life lessons teach you anything, it's that the path of least resistance usually leads straight to the school of hard knocks. The thing about planning ahead is that it takes effort. I talk to a lot of people about planning ahead for funeral services in my work. This is one area where it is particularly diffi- cult to plan in advance. It's like packing a suit- case for a trip someone else is going to take in 10 to 20 years. That would be hard for anybody. Plus, there is the fact that people don't re- ally like to think about their own mortality. Most people, once they have come to terms with their own mortality, believe that planning ahead for fu- neral services is a good idea. If you're not sure, all you have to do is imagine losing your parent or spouse and having to take care of all the arrangements within three days. Most people would be a fan of pre-planning if they found that everything had been arranged and paid for so that they didn't have to do anything but pick a day and a time and stay at home with your loved ones until it was time for the service. So then the next question is, what do you do now? Here are three easy steps that will help you get all the bases covered: Speak to a licensed fu- neral prearrangement spe- cialist. Families often say when they meet with a pre- arrangement specialist, they learn about questions they didn't even know they should ask. You don't know what you don't know, and a specialist can help you clarify your wishes and make sure everything that you want to take care of is covered in your plan. Most funeral homes will be glad to sit with you to discuss your arrangements without cost or obligation. Get your wishes and im- portant information put in writing. The importance of this step cannot be over- emphasized. Whatever knowledge and information you are walking around with in your head right now will die with you if nothing is written down. You can't count on your loved ones' memory to be at its best during a time of HOLLAND FINANCIAL RESOURCES Your Retirement Specialists We offer: Retirement Planning Strategies Health Insurance for People turning 65 Long Term Care Insurance Home Health Insurance Life Insurance Annuities Individual & Group Health Insurance Know Your Health Care Options!

A prearrangement specialist will help you get all that knowledge and in- formation on paper so your loved ones don't feel pres- sured to try to remember something you told them in passing 12 years ago. Decide whether advance payment is right for you. Not everyone has the means to pay ahead, and that is fine. But you can still come in and go through the first two steps, typically without any charge to you. If you do want to take care of the financial side of things, such as burial spaces, funeral services, cremation services, catering and other expenses, then the prearrangement specialist can go over all the options available to you so that you can make an educated decision. Obviously, the more that can be taken care of ahead of time, including plans, wishes and payment, the less your family will have to worry about in their time of grief. Florida, like most states, requires that money paid for a pre-planned service is held with a third party such as a trust or an insurance company. This is done for your protection to guarantee that your money is always safe. It is wise to determine that your funeral or crema- tion provider places 100 percent of your money with the third party. These are the very basics of how to get started with a funeral prearrangement. But just reading this arti- cle won't get it done for you. Planning doesn't happen all by itself. It takes action. Just call your funeral or cre- mation provider and tell them you'd like to get started with your plans, and they'll take it from there. For You and tm0z o AA Your Family! Taking the time to think about and record - your end-of-life desires lets you relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family. ."oopor FUNERAL HOMES & CREMATORY (352) 726-2271 1-888-7HO OPER(746-6737) INVERNESS 501 W.

Just ask these estate planners. By Taniesha Robinson CTW Features No question is a dumb question when it comes to your estate, but if these queries are on your mind, you may be ahead of the curve. We talked to the ex- perts to find out what you should ask to avoid common pitfalls in estate planning. 1. What are the limitations of my will? Do I need a trust? Good news: we're living longer. Bad news: we're more likely to reach a state of mental incapacity while we're here. In addition to a will, which only has power after death, every estate plan needs a health care directive, for any time a person can't speak for himself, says Bonnie Wittenburg, an estate plan- ning attorney at Wittenburg Law Office, Minnetonka, Minn. Also, wills cannot control the terms for which estate funds are distributed. Trusts, however, can set the ages at which children receive their inheritance and regulate funds to go out periodi- cally. "That way, if they make any fool- ish mistakes, they've only received part of it at a time," Wittenburg says. 2. How can I meet the real needs of my heirs? A key element of estate planning is the idea of"fair versus equal," says Paul Gullickson, an accredited estate planner of Gullickson Group, Davenport, Iowa. Splitting up assets equally among sib- lings may not be the fairest way to pass on your estate. Perhaps one is in greater need of assistance because of a disabil- ity, greater family size or underemploy- ment. Also, if there is a business involved, consider which sibling gains more joy from managing the day-to-day operations, Gullickson says. Leaving a business to all the siblings could lead to family quarrels. 3. How do all of my asset documents work together? "Beneficiary designations actually supersede anything you have in a will," says Russell McAlmond, an accredited estate planner with Portland, Ore.-based Evergreen Capital Management. Con- sequently, if only one child is a desig- nated beneficiary on an account (IRA, 401(k), and the like) the funds will go directly to that child and not to all sib- lings, despite opposing wishes ex- pressed in the will. It's important to review estate-planning documents for any conflicts that could result in unde- sired distribution of funds. 4. Are my assets titled into the name of my trust? "People sometimes think that once they set up a trust with the attorney, they're done," Wittenburg says. "They're really not, because assets still need to be titled into the name of the trust." If assets are titled into any name other than that of the trust even the estate holder's name a trustee has no legal right to manage or distribute them ac- cording to the terms of the trust. And, the estate will likely be subject to probate. 5. Do I need more life insurance? It's tough to conceptualize your own death and the impact it would have on loved ones. It may be best to ponder the scenario from a different perspective. "Instead of thinking about how we would provide for our spouse, we should be thinking about what would be the benefits for us if we were the sur- vivor," says Christine Fahlund, vice president and senior financial planner of T. Rowe Price Group, Baltimore, Md. Thinking critically about personal needs for survival upon the death of a spouse and what can be afforded in pre- miums for life insurance can help a cou- ple decide together what an appropriate plan would demand, Fahlund explains. see QUESTIONS Page G7 G6 Friday, February 22, 2013 ESTATE PLANING Friday, February 22, 2013 G7 Q: What comes first when money to save is limited: college savings or retirement savings? A: For many parents, especially those who had children in their mid-30s and 40s, college and retirement savings are concurrent financial goals. If funds for savings are limited, people often wonder which financial goal should come first if they can only save for one. Experts almost always advise prioritizing saving for retirement. For-profit employers often match employee retirement savings. This is "free money" that savers should not pass up. Assets in a tax-deferred retirement account (such as an IRA) do not affect a child's ability to receive financial aid. And students can get loans for college but there is no such thing as a "retirement loan." Source: extension. For more answers to your questions on financial security from your Cooperative Extension Service, go to www.extension.org/search QUESTIONS from page G6 6. What of my estate assets will be taxed? It's a common misconception that money in a revocable living trust is tax- free. Federal estate tax law is rapidly changing. In addition, "each state has its own tricky tax rules for trusts," writes au- thor Rachel Emma Silverman in "The Wall Street Journal Complete Estate-Planning Guidebook," (Crown Business, 2011). Working with a knowledgeable estate planner will help minimize what Uncle Sam will inherit from your estate. 7. What's all this talk 8. Is it a good idea to add 9. How can I prepare my about probate? Should my my child as joint owner to heirs to receive their goal be to avoid it? my bank account or my inheritance? Probate has a reputation for being a lengthy, expensive court process that holds assets in limbo instead of transferring them smoothly to heirs. "I don't think probate is the worst thing that can happen to you," McAlmond says. This is another aspect of estate planning that varies state by state, but McAlmond cites two general cases when avoiding pro- bate should be a priority: if confidentiality is desired or if multiple properties are owned in different states. home? Many folks do this as a matter of con- venience, but there are many downsides to this plan. "It's not fair to the other siblings because technically the child who is the joint ac- count holder owns the money," says Bon- nie Wittenburg. Even if he or she plans to fairly distribute the assets to family mem- bers and organizations designated in the will, there are other problems. The joint owner must report these assets in the event of a divorce, lawsuit and even a child ap- plying for financial aid, which makes the estate vulnerable to creditors. What estate holders need instead is to appoint their child or another trusted individual as a durable power of attorney who can make decisions on their behalf. Wayne Johnson, a certified financial planner and accredited estate planner with Syverson Strege & Company, West Des Moines, Iowa, tells his clients "it's about passing along their values, not just their valuables." To achieve this goal, Johnson suggests heritage planning, a process in which family members engage in projects and activities that build a culture of trust and communication and establish a form of family governance. It can be as simple as regularly coming together to plan a fam- ily vacation or volunteering together. "It doesn't matter how good your estate planning is, how technically strong it is; if your heirs are not prepared, you will be disappointed with the outcome of your es- tate," Johnson says.

A smart retirement plan calls for patience and a sharp pencil. by Lori Cullen CTW Features In his Albany, N.Y. office, there's one query Terry Jan- dreau, CFP, hears from al- most every client, and it usually starts off like this: "I just want you to look at my numbers and look at my as- sets and let me know if I can retire today." So the first vice president and branch manager at Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, goes through the exercise. He says it's rare that he would tell clients they can't retire today. More often, he tells them that to do it right now isn't in their best interest. "After people have been working for so many years, they get fed up," says Jan- dreau. "They look at things and say, 'If I cut back here, and I pull all of my income together, I can just about cover my basics."' Many people focus on the magic number needed to re- tire. Just because you can scrounge together enough to retire today, however, does- n't mean you should or that your savings will last. Suffi- cient savings is only one of several key elements of a smart retirement plan. One of the most important retirement planning tasks is creating an income strategy. Even if you amass a sizable fortune, in order to make it last through retirement, you'll likely live off interest rather than tapping into the actual funds. In the best scenario, says Jandreau, workers enter re- tirement with several sources of retirement in- come. Fixed costs like food, clothing and shelter should come from guaranteed sources, like Social Security, corporate pension plans and annuities. Remaining costs such as entertainment and travel are variable lifestyle expenses and should be financed from money accumulated in per- sonal savings and invest- ments, including savings see RETIRE Page G9 Saving for Retirement by Age Percent of respondents who have any money saved for retirement: AGE 1997 2012 18-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55+ TOTAL Source: Consumer Federation of America 2012 Household Financial Planning Survey G8 Friday, February 22, 2013 ESTATE PLANING .

"It's very, very specific," says Jandreau, who stresses that whether your retire- ment will consist of garden- ing, home dining and neighborhood walks with the dog or touring the world's top 100 golf courses depends not only on the amount of money you sock away but also on how you manage it thereafter. According to "Key Find- ings and Issues: Longevity," a 2011 report conducted by the Society of Actuaries, most Americans underestimate longevity and fail to understand the potential consequences of living beyond their own planned life expectancy. By age 65, U.S. males in average health have a 40 percent chance of living to 85 while females have a 53 percent chance, more if you're healthier. Therefore, financial planning experts suggest preparing for 25 to 30 years in retirement to lessen the chance of run- ning out of money. A second risk is inflation, which can corrode the pur- chasing power of your sav- ings. "The income that one would receive today is going to fall way short 20 years from now," says Jan- dreau. The Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics' Consumer Price Index inflation calculator shows a person who retired in 1992 with an income of $50,000 would need almost $82,437 to maintain the same lifestyle today. Because of inflation, So- cial Security automatically factors in a cost-of-living adjustment; some pension plans do, too. However, these automatic increases may not be enough. "There has to be a hedge against inflation and a con- tinual income stream," says Bill Losey, CFP, owner of Bill Losey Retirement So- lutions in Saratoga, N.Y. The author of "Retire in a Weekend" and former resi- dent retirement expert on CNBC's "On the Money" television program advises clients to allocate a mini- mum of 30 to 40 percent of a retirement portfolio to stocks and stock mutual funds from larger, good- quality U.S and interna- tional companies that have a long-term history of not only paying dividends but also raising them annually at a rate that outpaces inflation. Once you are all set with your smart retirement plan, all that's left is to wait for your 62nd birthday to roll around so you can quit work, file for Social Secu- rity and hit the green, right? Not so fast. Charles Jeszeck, director of education, workforce and income security at the U.S. Government Accountability Office in Washington, D.C., recommends that individu- als delay receipt of Social Security benefits until reaching at least full retire- ment age and, in some cases, continue to work and save, if possible. "Claiming Social Secu- rity benefits early may jeop- ardize your economic security because early claimants receive perma- nently reduced benefits," he says. For example, a person re- tiring today who begins col- lecting benefits at age 62 instead of 66 will receive monthly payments reduced by 25 percent. If you can afford to wait even longer, do, says Jeszeck, as the monthly So- cial Security benefit rises She Plans, He Plans Who's better at retirement planning? He is, hands down.

"One of the big mistakes I see people make in their 50s or 60s is that they retire or take an early incentive offer because they think they're ready to stop work- ing, but what they really wanted was a break," Losey says. He suggests they de- crease the number of days or hours they work and take a corresponding pay cut. But in Losey's opinion, the ultimate in retirement planning is never to retire.

By Lindsey Romain CTW Features The term "life insurance" can send a shiver down even the most resilient spine. It doesn't matter that it's a product that guaran- tees coverage and protec- tion of loved ones. For all the goodness life insurance provides, it means the in- sured must confront a chill- ingly inevitable prospect: their own mortality. In fact, more than 118 million adults in the United States age 18 and older don't have any life insur- ance coverage, more than half the adult population (52 percent). That com- pares with 2011, when 51 percent of U.S. adults were uninsured, according to a Genworth Financial survey of 25,000 adults.

It's about providing stability for family mem- bers left behind. "Life insurance is love insurance," says Steve Leimberg, publisher of Leimberg Information Services, a Havertown, Penn. publisher and co- author of "Tools and Tech- niques of Life Insurance Planning," (National Un- derwriter Company, 2007). "When a breadwinner dies, an adequate amount of life insurance is typically the major thing that determines whether his or her sur- vivors will live with dignity or despair." It's still a tantalizing process, but understanding the basics is a good start. Here are some important bullet points about life in- surance to know going in. Types Life insurance policies can be divided into two major categories: term and permanent. Term policies are so named because they pro- vide for a set number of years, typically 10, 20 or 30. It does not have an in- vestment component; it's paid for at the insured's death, and only if the in- sured dies before the term of the contract runs out. "No lifetime payments are possible with term con- tracts," says Leimberg. Permanent or whole - life insurance is kept as long as the insured lives and the policy owner wants to keep it in force by pay- ing premiums. It builds up cash values that can be bor- rowed by the policy owner or received upon releasing the insurer from its obliga- tion to keep the policy in force, according to Leim- berg. The interest rate in a permanent policy is fixed. There are different ver- sions of term and perma- CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE nent policies, such as uni- versal life, variable life, guaranteed level term in- surance, return of premium term insurance that are usually defined by cost. Which to pick? Whether term or perma- nent life insurance is best for you is determined by a number of factors, most im- portantly: what can you af- ford and what do you need it to do? Term insurance is the less expensive option, usu- ally only a few hundred dollars depending on health or other variables. It's best applied to short-term prob- lems, such as paying off a mortgage or other tempo- rary debt at death. Permanent insurance is more complex and more expensive. Unlike term policies, it provides more than a death benefit. A por- tion of the premium funds a separate, tax-free invest- ment fund. It's not the type of life in- surance that matters, but the dollar amount, argues Jack Hungelmann, author of "Insurance for Dum- mies" (For Dummies, 2009) and proprietor of Jack Hungelmann Risk Management & Insurance, an independent insurance agency WHERE. "When you die, your family isn't going to care about the pol- icy," he says. "All they want to know is how much money they're going to get." Hungelmann also notes that one of the downsides to cash value policies is that holders end up paying a lot in the beginning so that rates stay level as he or she ages. "It's good when you're older, but it's tough when you're young," he says. "Some people I've met are uninsured because they can't afford to buy all see INSURANCE Page G11 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Insurance from Page 10 the life insurance they need with that type of policy." Health matters Life insurance isn't as easy as picking up the phone. You have to qualify. "They're going to ask you ques- tions about your lifestyle, like 'are you going to jump out of air- planes?"' says Theodore Affleck, an independ- ent life in- surance consultant with over 37 years in the busi- ness. "If so, they might not consider you fit." Expect questions about per- sonal med- ical history, family health and employ- ment, too. After an as- sessment, candidates are placed into a risk- classifica- tion: super- preferred, preferred, standard and sub-standard. "A preferred person will have a lower premium than a sub-standard," says ESTATE PLANING Affleck of the system. He also points out that women will have lower premiums than men since they tend to live longer, that an overweight person will have a higher pre- mium than a marathon runner, and so on. Smoking is also a sig- nificant factor; non-smok- ers are almost guaranteed a lower premium than smokers, Leimberg says. Plan ac- cordingly Despite the complicated process of applying and qualify- ing, experts stress that life insur- ance is still an impor- tant part of any family plan. "There are usually far too many inap- propriate, unsuitable replace- ments," warns Af- fleck. And don't just buy it "because it's the adult thing to do," says Hun- gelmann. Make sure it's done for the right reasons. He ad- vises going back to that idea of fam- ily: "You don't buy car insurance when you don't have a car. Don't buy life insur- ance when you don't have someone to care for." Estate from Page 3 an estate's value. A cer- tified estate specialist such as one designated by the National Auc- tioneers Association (NAA) as well as per- sonal trained in the val- uation process through Graduate Personal Property Appraiser des- ignation can be of in- valuable assistance. The goals of an estate plan are to efficiently and effectively carry out the wishes of the draftee. Utilizing a company that adheres to a strong code of ethics such as those es- tablished and adhered to by NAA members is a step in the positive direction. Being up to date is important for individu- als in helping under- stand values and the disposition process of goods when the time comes. The emotional or sentimental value of one's possessions stops at the front door. As such, one needs to real- ize the economic im- pact an item with personal sentiment may have on the recipient or the proceeds derived from its sale on the estate. An effective estate plan should include contingencies which may kick in as both the health and financial sit- uations of an individual change over time. It may be necessary weather through a per- sonal decision to down- size, the loss of mobility or of financial support to make a change. At this time, having knowledge of where to go and how to proceed is of great importance. In dealing with this sce- nario, certain items of value whether personal or real may benefit the situation by being liqui- dated. As all estates are dif- ferent and values or connectivity of certain items one to another can be of little or major importance, some thought is required to maximize the recapture of wealth. Many times during the liquidation process value is inadvertently lost due to hasty deci- sions or misinforma- tion. Values change in today's connected mar- ketplace faster and with a seeming ignorance of the established norm of the past. It is more important now more than ever to work with a knowl- edgeable firm that is connected to the market on a regular and re- peated basis. There are many times when the company tasked with the job of recapturing value has been stymied by family friends or neighbors who, in a rush to assist and do good, have discarded, destroyed or given away much of an es- tate's value. Provenance for an important piece of art, furniture or other items of the past can greatly affect value, as can a well-meaning attempt to clean and prep from a unwitting or overzeal- ous hand can destroy patina and desirability, which will affect values as well. So keep in mind as your planning process proceeds knowledge is king when you are in the throes of a liquida- tion decision. Estates come in all shapes and sizes and as such, the most impor- tant estate in the world is yours. Enlisting the assis- tance of a qualified pro- fessional early on in the process can not only help the most compli- cated situation, but can simplify and maximize the returns for anyone. May we all live long and happy lives knowing that in the end our accu- mulated treasures will be well planned for.
