A view of Crystal River City Hall on U.S. 19 engulfed by a river of water on March 13, 1993.



A flood of recollections


Citrus turns into
swimmingpool

March 13, 1993
Editor's note: This story origi-
nally appeared on Page 1A of the
Sunday, March 14, 1993, edition
of the Citrus County Chronicle.

Staff writer
Parts of western Citrus
County became one giant swim-
ming pool Saturday morning.
While many residents were
still asleep, coastal waters 6 feet
above normal surged inland be-
hind the force of hurricane-
strength gusts up to 80 mph.
Within minutes, hundreds of
residents from Homosassa to
Crystal River found themselves
surrounded by water and
stranded.
Streets all along the coast
turned into rivers, and fields
became lakes. Emergency per-
sonnel raced to the aid of resi-
dents, but they too were
overwhelmed by the racing wa-
ters that quickly turned Crystal
River into a submerged city.
The National Weather Service
in Ruskin reported that a tor-
nado touched down Friday night
in Crystal River and damaged or
destroyed about 15 homes and
condominiums and caused
about $1 million in damage.

EDITOR'S NOTE


On March 13, 1993, the "No-Name"
storm, packing 80-mph winds and
pushing a 6-foot wall of water, sur-
prised the residents of western Citrus
County, turning streets into rivers and fields
into lakes in just a matter of minutes.
The Citrus County Chronicle is reprinting
stories and photos from 20 years ago while
including the recollections of some of those
whose lives were changed by the disaster.

'Act of God' to get married


Special to the Chronicle
Jody Krumholtz wed Dolan Smith on March 13,
1993.


Pair exchanges vows

day of major storm
NANCY KENNEDY
Staff writer
INVERNESS Every wedding
has its snafus, but probably none
like this one had.
Jody Krumholtz was set to marry
Dolan Smith at 7 p.m. Saturday,
March 13, 1993, at the Beverly Hills
Recreation Center.
It was to be a formal affair, com-
plete with ice sculptures, tons of


food and live greenery woven with
lights for the perfect ambience.
Everything was set and then
came the storm.
"It took an act of God to get this
wedding to happen," said Linda
Krumholtz, the bride's mother.
"The groom's side of the family all
lived in Crystal River and Ho-
mosassa. They had tuxedos hanging
from their ceiling fans and they had
to go in by boat to get them. One of
the groomsmen and the ring bearer
didn't show up their houses were
flooded."
Several days before, out-of-state
guests had come to town and were

NO-NAME STORM: 20 YEARS LATER


Flood changes


Ozello forever


I got a call from my mother
in Western New York at
6:15 a.m. Saturday morning,
telling me to get out of my
house because we were
going to have one heck of a
storm.
I was on the fire depart-
ment in Ozello, and we
didn't get "toned out," a
notice to drive around and
tell people to evacuate. The
night before some torna-
does went by, but that was
all.
While I was on the phone,
one of my bedroom win-
dows was sucked out of the
frame and water started
coming into my house. I told
my mom I better go; I
needed to put some stuff up.
Within 15 minutes, 4 1/2
feet of water was in my
house. I had two dogs I
threw the power breakers
off because the outlets were
about to go under water I
got the dogs and we started
swimming down my long
driveway
We got to the intersection
of Ripple Path and Water-
man Drive, and the tide was
pushing us sideways. The
water was coming from two
different directions. I
thought we were going to be
swept out into the river
There was a big uprooted
cedar tree and I thought,
"This is the beginning of the
end."
We finally got to a neigh-
bor's stilt house and stayed
there.
The storm changed the
entire community of Ozello.
Almost every house in
Ozello was flooded there
weren't very many stilt
houses. Afterward, it be-
came mandatory and we
lost a lot of our senior resi-
dents, people who had been
here for many, many years.


The fear of another storm
like that coupled with hav-
ing to build stilt houses and
not be able to climb the
stairs they moved away
For Pirate's Cove at the
end of Ozello Trail, that was
the beginning of the end.
Right after the storm, some
people stayed upstairs in
the restaurant, camping
out We all pitched in to get
it back open, because it was
a gathering place for years
and years. But it was even-
tually demolished.
People pitched in to help
each other Right after the
storm, we had big cookouts.
Everyone's power was out
and we all cooked the food
that was in our refrigerators
before it spoiled. The fire
department opened up and
had tables of food from
other fire departments and
we had a place to get a hot
shower
Other fire departments, I
think it was Floral City,
came to help us, and that
was very helpful.
Ozello used to be a com-
mercial fishing town, and
about the time of the no-
name storm, the net ban
went into effect, so that was
a double kick for Ozello.
There are a lot of new
people out here, and it's be-
come a whole different
community
When storms come or
high tide is predicted, peo-
ple are a lot more cautious.
They will move their cars
out to the bridge, to be safe
rather than sorry
As for me, when I hear of
a big storm, I'm usually the
first one out of the gate.
That was enough for me.
We would've had time to
get out if we had notice, but
we didn't
-Barbara Jean Wilson


( It was like dumping a mammoth bucket in the yard, only the
water was coming from below, not above. ... We looked out the
window and saw scores of stone crab traps, apparently floated
up from the Cedar Key fish docks. ) 7

Visitors see Florida

for first time in storm


We had come from
Chicago to check out
Florida to see if we
wanted to live here and
were staying at Sawgrass
Villas. We were used to
snowstorms, but weren't
prepared for what we ex-
perienced here.
We were caught in the
storm and found some peo-
ple who were visiting from


Stowe, Vt. they were
here golfing. We banded
with them. I remember we
were hungry and some
kind soul gave us a ride.
We went back to
Chicago, but we came back
a year later. However, we
were not going to move
anywhere west of U.S. 19!
We live in Inverness.

Memories of March 13, 1993


Baby born in

storm turns

20 this year

NANCY KENNEDY
Staff writer
CRYSTAL RIVER- His
name should've been
Storm.
Born at 6:54 p.m. March
13, 1993, Jared Gusha
made quite an entrance
into the world almost a
splash.
His mother, Eva Allen,
had been at home in Crys-
tal River watching the
water rise inside the house.
Her husband, John
Gusha, worked for then-
Florida Power and was at
work and a friend had
his truck. Gusha was
trapped at the plant, un-
able to get home to rescue
his very pregnant wife.
The baby was one day
overdue.
"It was so nuts," she
said. "I was talking to my
best friend just as the
phone disconnected. I had
told her I was fine, but as
the phone disconnected
water started surging into
my house and I had my
first labor pain. I freaked
out I had never been so
scared in my life."
She had been trying to
save important items, such
as an antique baby cradle,
by putting them up high.
When the water started
coming into her house, she
knew she had to leave, so
she started wading
through the water in the
street to get to the neigh-
bor's house to call 911.
At that time, the water
was only up to her mid-
calf, but it rose fast.
That's when she saw her

Eva Allen gave birth to her son March 13, 1993, during the "No Name" storm. Her son
Jared Gusha will turn 20 on Wednesday.

Of course I don't remember being born on the
day of the storm of the century, but I wish my
mother and Aunt Bev would let me forget it.

friend's husband, Jim
Shaffer, and yelled for him
to help her. He parked on
U.S. 19 so he could get her
and take her to safety. As
she tried to reach him, the
current got stronger and
the water level rose, mak-
ing it impossible for her
walk.
Shaffer reached Allen
and carried her a quarter
mile down Fort Island
Trail toward U.S. 19. At
times they hit deep pock-
ets of water and Allen had
to swim while having
contractions.
"It's hard to swim at
nine months pregnant,"
she said.


They finally reached the
parking lot at the corner of
U.S. 19 and Fort Island
Trail. Allen was rushed to
Citrus Memorial Hospital.
"I remember watching
the hail hit the windshield
on my way to the hospital,"
she said. "It was just crazy"
She said her friend sug-
gested she name the baby
Storm.
"I should have he's
like a storm," she said.
"He's feisty and head-
strong, but I love him."
"Of course I don't re-
member being born on the
day of the storm of the cen-
tury, but I wish my mother
and Aunt Bev would let me


forget it," Jared wrote in a
Facebook message. "They
give me a hard time some-
times and tease me. They
call me Storm and keep
telling me how crazy that
day was. The water came
in so fast and there was no
warning.
"I am glad that my Aunt
Bev knew my mom needed
help or I might not be
here. I am really glad that
my name isn't Storm -
and I am glad my family
and friends don't forget my
birthday!"

M y daughter's birthday
is March 13, and on
Saturday, March 13, 1993,
we had planned a "Pony
Party" to celebrate her
fifth birthday The invita-
tions were sent, the clown
and pony were confirmed,
and the cake, hotdogs and
drinks were in the refrig-
erator We had everything
we needed for a fun day
with family and friends.
Hours before the party
was supposed to begin, I
stood in our house in Old
Homosassa, built 9 feet
above sea level, watching
the water creep up, slith-
ering like a snake toward
me as the candles on my
daughter's birthday cake
remained unlit
Across the street at my
parents' home, my mom,
little sister and my sis-
ter's best friend were
picking everything off of
the floor, trying to save
whatever they could from
the rising water creeping
under the door. Eventu-
ally, 2 feet of water was in-
side the house. My house
remained dry
Meanwhile, my daugh-
ter, Caitlin, sat on our
front porch in her party
dress and cowboy boots,
watching her brother,
Chadwick, fetch toys, fire-
wood, and other floating
objects that he saw mov-
ing along with the rapid
water. I will never forget
the sight of my son hold-
ing the lime-green cast
that covered his broken
arm over his head, in
breast-deep water, as he
carried a Little Tikes See-
Saw in the other hand.


Caitlin

porch in her
party dress and
cowboy boots,

brother,
Chadwick,

water.

They would cheerfully
deliver the rescued goods
back to their owners the
next day
Eventually, the Birth-
day Girl got to blow out
her birthday candles, and
the food for the party was
shared with the volun-
teers who set up a station
at the Homosassa Baptist
Church. The water went
out the same way it came
in, leaving in its path a
community united in the
face of adversity
Twenty years later,
Caitlin hopes to celebrate
her 25th birthday beneath
sunny skies

Woman learns what's important


We lived on Sagamon
Point, off State Park
Drive in Crystal River, and
I remember getting up that
morning and noticing the
floor was wet. I thought,
"Did the pool overflow?
Did a water line break?"
It was surreal the
water started coming into
the house.
We went around trying
to save things photo al-
bums, keepsakes, my hus-
band's guns and tools, our
paperwork. Our 10-year-
old daughter gathered up
her stuffed animals, books
and tools.
By 9:40 a.m. the car, our
motor home, the trees
(were) all under water. By
10 a.m. the refrigerator
and the furniture were
floating. It was cold, wet
and nasty
We went into the attic
with food, water, dry
clothes, blankets and pil-
lows and whatever we had
salvaged and stayed there


from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
when the water started to
recede.
We had a good view of
the canal from the attic,
and my husband spotted
two people struggling in a
boat and went to try and
help them.
I don't remember where
we slept that night,
whether it was in the attic
or on our houseboat.
On Sunday, we started
the clean up. The wind
had ripped the screen
cage around the pool and
we found fish in the pool
and a huge alligator turtle
in the driveway
Friends came and did
our laundry And my
daughter's Girl Scout
leader came and got her
doll clothes, dolls and
stuffed animals and made
them new again, which
meant the world to a 10-
year-old girl.
After that, the three of
us lived out of laundry bas-


kets in one room. That be-
came our new normal as
we tore out soggy drywall
and worked to clean up
and rebuild.
There were times of
being depressed and feel-
ing overwhelmed, but it
was a good wake-up call.
We lost a lot of our stuff,
but we realized stuff
doesn't matter We had one
another, and we saw when
things like this happen,
there are a lot of people
who want to help.
It makes you appreciate
your family and friends.
God gives us the people in
our lives who are our
treasures, not our stuff.
Since then, my husband
and daughter have both
died.
But life goes on. You can
cry and moan and say,
"Why me?" or you can
think of it as one of life's
lessons -what doesn't kill
you makes you stronger.
Christine Pope

NO-NAME STORM: 20 YEARS LATER



Firefighters, fishermen to the rescue


Utility worker

searches for

those stranded

As a full-time employee
of utilities for the city
of Crystal River, I also was
a volunteer for the Connell
Heights Fire Department.
Recently voted in as cap-
tain, we were prepared
and on standby for the
straight-line storm march-
ing its way across the Gulf
of Mexico. Even with re-
ports of 80 mph sustained
winds, no one thought of
hurricane forces.
On Friday after work, we
got the first call-out for a
tornado touching down at
10 p.m. in the woods and
waters area on State Road
44 west.
I ran to the station and
hopped aboard the rescue
vehicle. Arriving on scene,
multiple units and crews
spilt up for rescue and
evaluation. Making our
way through the debris
field in the darkness of the
storm and power outage
and armed with flash-
lights, we came across a
truck with its keys still
inside.
With a stilt house
nearby, we ascended the
fight of stairs to a set of
double glass doors. We
used a balcony chair to
break through, repeating,
"Fire Department!" as we
entered a bedroom. Not
much damage, a few ceil-
ing tiles on the bed. Then
we saw the tornado had re-


moved all but the one bed-
room from the flooring.
We continued to assist in
search and rescue for a
few hours in the storm, re-
turning to Station 31
(Rockcrusher Road). Mul-
tiple calls started coming
in: power lines down, trees
down on houses, limbs in
roadways and accidents.
As the fire departments
responded to more and
more calls, we called in
East Side (county stations
east of County Road 491) to
assist.
Just as dawn was break-
ing, it appeared we were
out of the storm. The
winds off the gulf were
pushing the high tide in-
land, and as waters levels
were coming up, the order
for evacuation was given
for the west side of
U.S. 19.
We responded with as
many trucks as possible to
move people out. Many
first-in units flooded on
the roadway School buses,
Army reserve trucks and
boats were brought in for
rescue. We set up at
Scotty's hardware (now
Citrus Kia) for triage and
transport to shelters.
At the Plantation Inn,
the wind drove in waves as
white caps over U.S. 19, we
had to relocate to the Kash
'n' Karry (now Sweetbay)
parking lot.
By early afternoon, with
most evacuations winding
down, we went in on an
Army 6X vehicle to bring
out a paralyzed patient ...

sheriff's cruisers were the
light bars, and our fire de-

apartment vehicles in 4 feet
of saltwater ruined.
After that rescue, I was
assigned to the
bridge (next to the Planta-
tion Inn) for security As
me and a colleague stood
guard, we noticed an eld-
erly woman trying to
sweep water out of her


screen room. We comman-
deered a canoe left at the
bridge and managed to
bring her and two of her
three cats back to the
bridge, avoiding a 10-foot
whirlpool caused by a
broke-loose dock wedge in
the bridge.
Wendell 0. Leigh Sr


A s the water kept rising, my community went into
rescue mode.
After the power went out at 10 a.m., my landline was
the only phone that still had service. Concerned peo-
ple east of U.S. 19 were calling me, wanting informa-
tion about their loved ones.
The roads were blocked. No one could get into
town. My father, Alton Pierce, and my brother, Mandy
Pierce, acted like shuttles, driving the stranded to
U.S. 19 where they could be reunited with their
families.
Mrs. Havens sat in the back of Dad's truck with her
broken leg propped up on the tool box, holding onto
her walker for support.
Dad continued this goodwill service until water
covered the hood of his pickup truck.
My brother used a mullet fishing boat to rescue our
family, friends and neighbors, literally bringing peo-
ple by the boat loads to my house. When Mandy re-
trieved our 80-year-old grandmother, the wind had
picked up. As Mandy maneuvered the boat to my front
door, a gust of wind rocked the boat, and my grand-
mother screamed in terror After 80 years of living in
Homosassa, she did not know how to swim.
Unbeknownst to my brother, his home was being
flooded with more than 3 feet of water Thankfully, he
was able save his treasured gun cabinet our great
uncle had made him, laying it across the top of his
highest piece of furniture.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


NO-NAME STORM: 20 YEARS LATER


Senior citizen


remains calm


in flood crisis


My husband and I had
just moved to our
new home in Citrus Hills
in December 1992. I was
here to help my mother
with my father, who had
cancer and not much time
to live. They had lived out
at The Islands in Crystal
River for more than 20
years.
My dad died Dec. 30,
leaving my mother alone.
On Friday, March 13, my
mother wanted me to
come over, but I had guests
coming early Saturday
morning. That night I
heard what sounded like a
train going through the
neighborhood. I got up and
saw the pool water hover-
ing above the pool about 3
inches! Just hovering
there for a second or two,
then it went back into the
pool. It was very freaky. I
kept checking the Weather
Channel, but they had no
information other than the
Northeast was going to get
a snowstorm.
On Saturday morning,
my mother got out of bed
and her carpet was squishy
She got dressed and had
breakfast and by then the
water was at her ankles.
She tried to call me, but
the phone was dead. She
grabbed a black plastic bag
and packed some clothes,
her checkbook, jewelry,
other important docu-
ments and a few decks of
cards my mother loved
to play bridge!
By then the water was up
to her knees. She tried to go
to her neighbor's across the
street who had a two-story
unit, but she couldn't open
the door with the water
pressure. So she sat on top
of the dining room table,
the only dry place. She saw
her neighbors in their boat
in the yard and tried to
wave them down, but they
didn't see her As the water
kept rising she knew she
had to do something.
Meanwhile I was at
home, trying to call my 77-
year-old mother. She had
just lost her husband of
more than 50 years three
months before. I always
thought my mother was
strong and resourceful, but
this was a crisis I wasn't
sure I could handle. I had
freaked out just seeing my
pool water rise out of the
pool the night before. I
kept dialing and checking
the Weather Channel,
which still had nothing
about what was going on in
Citrus County!



MARRIED
Continued from Page Al

staying at the Crown Hotel
in Inverness, which lost
power during the storm
Friday night. So, no one
was able to shower the day
of the wedding.
"I couldn't get my hair
and nails done that day,"
Krumholtz said. "So I had
to walk down the aisle
with chipped nails, but
that's not the worst part.
The wedding dress was at
Patricia's Boutique. That
was when it was in Crystal
River rather than
Brooksville, and they
wouldn't let me come and
get it; it wasn't safe to be
on the road at that time.
"I pretty much threat-
ened them that I had to get
it! So, Patricia had her
husband drive her in so I
could get my daughter's
wedding dress," she said.
The wedding gown situ-
ation, however, was simple
compared to how to get the
DJ to Beverly Hills from
New Port Richey
"The only way for him to
get here was for an airboat
to be in front of him down
U.S. 19, making a wake for
him to travel in to get
there," Krumholtz said.
"And he got there."
She said they never
thought to postpone the
wedding, because of all the
food already prepared and
all the out-of-town guests.


"The best story out of
the whole thing, for their
first dance they played the


My mother, Louise
Knaut, was actually an
amazing woman who kept
her cool. She knew she
had to get out of there, so
she opened the sliding
dining room window and
jumped into the swirling
muddy waters with her
most precious belongings
slung over her shoulder.
She waded in snake-
infested waters up to her
chest and crossed the road
to her neighbor's house.
They pulled her in and sat
on their second floor until
people with boats came by
From there they were
taken to the (raised) club-
house. My mother changed
into dry clothes and pulled
out her cards to see if any-
body wanted to play
bridge!
Back then there were no
smartphones or iPads to
check on what was going
on. People just had to wait
until they were rescued.
Help finally came by heli-
copters and air boaters.
By this time, my mother's
sense of adventure had
been worn out and she
opted for the airboat ride
down to U.S. 19 and what
was then Scotty's, the first
dry spot. From there, they
were bused to the shelter
in Lecanto where I could
pick her up.
One of the items my
mother had grabbed was
her computer disc with
her household inventory
on an Excel spreadsheet,
so she was ready for the in-
surance adjusters when
they arrived.
My father had just died
thinking he had left his
wife in a safe place they
had shared for more than
20 years, and we were glad
he was not there to see
that devastating flood.
With his cancer, he would
not have been able to es-
cape if he had still been
alive. It could have been so
much worse.
I got to know my mother
in a very different way and
with a new respect for her
by how she handled that
horrible storm and its af-
termath. She went back to
The Islands for a short
time but then moved to
Meadowcrest before be-
coming one of the early
residents of Cedar Creek
Assisted Living. You can
still see her in their com-
mercials. She is the lady at
the end of one of them sit-
ting in a big chair reading.
She looks up and smiles.

even before we knew a
storm was coming."

Storm blows Crystal River couple out of bed


We lived at River Cove Landing
off Fort Island Trail. My son
had called to say we were under a
tornado watch. We had 18-foot ceil-
ings and huge windows and we could
see the lightning, it was constant
I told my husband, "I'm going to
bed I can't sit here and watch this."
We were only in bed for five or 10
minutes when we were blown out of
bed. Part of the roof came up and

we ended up on the floor. My leg
was still on the bed with a piece
of sheetrock on it. We didn't know
what was going on. I thought, "This
is the end."
The sheets and bedspread were
blown out to the patio; there was
devastation everywhere. We lost
our car, our boat, everything.
We rebuilt on the water in Crystal
River, but I couldn't stay there. We


had a 10-room house, but I had to
sell it because of the fear. So, we
sold it, downsized, bought a motor
home and traveled.
Now I live in a doublewide in In-
verness, where we started out in
1974. When a bad storm comes and
I panic, I go into the pantry or to my
daughter's house. That storm 20
years ago scared me.

Bud Conklin beat prostate cancer with the help of advanced technologies,
like RBOI's Calypso 4D Localization Treatment.
Not many things slow Bud Conklin down. In his 60s, this Air Force veteran still hits
the gym regularly and completes a weekly 20-mile bike ride. So when he was
diagnosed with prostate cancer, he sought out the most advanced and efficient
treatment available. After discussing his options with RBOI cancer specialist
Dr. Bennett, Bud chose the high-tech Calypso treatment, which works like a GPS
system in the prostate to optimize radiation targeting and minimize side effects.
Bud is now cancer free and proud to say he didn't miss a beat in his fast-paced life.
We helped Bud write his success story. Let us help write yours.

At the time of the no-
name storm, I worked
at the Citrus County
Health Department
My husband's grandpar-
ents, William and Veronica
Carlucci, lived on West
Sunny Brook, down by
Dixie Shores in Crystal
River. Despite warnings to
evacuate, they would not.
Grandpa was stubborn.
Born in 1909, he was sure
this was an overreaction.
When my husband and
brother-in-law went to the
corner of Fort Island Trail
and U.S. 19, the authorities
would not let them
through because the flood-
ing had already started.
The neighbors on either
side were flooded, but
Grandma and Grandpa
were dry because their
house was built four feet
higher, although they

So, a helicopter went to

Grandma, of course, had

W e lived on North
Concord Drive, just
off State Park Drive, and
the water started coming
up so fast, it was like
someone opened the
floodgates. We had no
idea how we were going
to get out of there when
someone came to our
front door in a row boat.
They took us to the Days
Inn.
They had no electric,
water or phone service
working, so we went to
Seven Rivers hospital.
That was the best thing
that could have happened
to us. We had a comfort-
able place to sit and all

even gave us some lunch.

was dry! The water had
gotten into the porches
and the garage, but not
the house.
I thanked the Lord for
this blessing but felt
guilty for the houses
around me that had at
least 14 inches of water in
them.

NYC soda size rule eyed


Associated Press

NEW YORK At bar-
becue joints, coffee coun-
ters and bottle-service
nightclubs, a coming
clampdown on big, sugary
soft drinks is beginning to
take shape on tables and
menus in a city that
thrives on eating and
going out.
Some restaurants are
ordering smaller glasses.
Dunkin' Donuts shops are
telling customers they'll
have to sweeten and fla-
vor their own coffee.
Coca-Cola has printed
posters explaining the
new rules, and a bowling
lounge is squeezing carrot
and beet juice as a poten-
tial substitute for pitchers
of soda at family parties
all in preparation for
the nation's first limit on
the size of sugar-laden
beverages, set to take ef-
fect Tuesday
Some businesses are
holding off, hoping a court
challenge nixes or at least
delays the restriction. But
many are getting ready for
tasks including reprinting
menus and changing
movie theaters' supersized
soda-and-popcorn deals.
At Brother Jimmy's
BBQ, customers still will
be able to order margari-
tas by the pitcher, cock-
tails in jumbo Mason jars
and heaping plates of
ribs. But they'll no longer
get 24-ounce tumblers of
soda, since the new rule
bars selling non-diet cola
in cups, bottles or pitch-
ers bigger than 16 ounces.
"Everything we do is
big, so serving it in a
quaint little 16-ounce
soda cups is going to look
kind of odd," owner Josh
Lebowitz said.
Nonetheless, he's or-
dered 1,000 of them for
the North Carolina-
themed restaurant's five
Manhattan locations,
rather than take on a fight
that carries the threat of
$200 fines.
'As long as they keep al-
lowing us to serve beer in
glasses larger than 16
ounces, we'll be OK,"
Lebowitz reasoned.
Beer drinkers can
breathe easy: The restric-
tion doesn't apply to alco-
holic beverages, among
other exemptions for var-
ious reasons. But it does
cover such beverages as
energy drinks and sweet-

Customers at Brother Jimmy's BBQ call cheers Friday
with 24-ounce and 16-ounce beverages in New York.
The nation's first limit on the size of sugar-laden bever-
ages is set to take effect Tuesday in New York City.
Customers will no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda,
since the new rule bars selling non-diet cola in cups,
bottles or pitchers bigger than 16 ounces.


ened fruit smoothies.
City officials say it's a
pioneering, practical step
to staunch an obesity rate
that has risen from 18 to
24 percent in a decade
among adult New York-
ers. Health officials say
sugar-filled drinks bear
much of the blame be-
cause they carry hun-
dreds of calories a
32-ounce soda has more
than a typical fast-food
cheeseburger without
making people feel full.
The city "has the ability
to do this and the obliga-
tion to try to help," the
plan's chief cheerleader,
Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg, said last month.
Critics say the regula-
tion won't make a mean-
ingful difference in diets
but will unfairly hurt
some businesses while
sparing others. A cus-
tomer who can't get a 20-
ounce Coke at a sandwich
shop could still buy a Big
Gulp at a 7-Eleven, for in-
stance, since many con-
venience stores and
supermarkets are beyond
the city's regulatory reach.
New Yorkers are di-
vided on the restriction. A
Quinnipiac University
poll released last week
found 51 percent opposed
it, while 46 percent

approved.
"I don't know if the state
should be our surrogate
parent," Peter Sarfaty, 71,
said as he drank a diet
cola with lunch in Man-
hattan this week. "You get
the information out there,
but to tell people what
they can or can't do? As if
it's going to stop them."
Business organization
ranging from the massive
American Beverage Asso-
ciation to a local Korean-
American grocers' group
have asked a judge to stop
the size limit from taking
effect until he decides on
their bid to block it alto-
gether He hasn't ruled on
either request.
Many businesses aren't
taking chances in the
meantime.
Dominic Fazio, the
manager of a Penn Sta-
tion pizzeria, has stopped
ordering 32-ounce and 24-
ounce cups, though he
calls the regulation
"ridiculous."
"But I guess the law is
the law, right?" said Fazio,
who put up an explana-
tory sign Coca-Cola Co.
provided. The Atlanta-
based soda giant said in a
statement that helping
small businesses prepare
was "the responsible
thing to do."

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


NO-NAME STORM: 20 YEARS LATER


CITRUS
Continued from Page Al

County emergency offi-
cials, however, could not
confirm that information
Saturday night
There were no deaths or
serious injuries in Citrus
County that could be di-
rectly related to the storm,
officials said.
There were minor in-
juries associated with the
tornado, a weather service
spokesman said.
Florida Power Corp.
emergency crews worked
throughout the night to try
to restore power to some
380,000 customers
statewide who lost elec-
tricity Friday night and
early Saturday morning.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, all
10,000 Crystal River cus-
tomers lost power, al-
though by noon, a
company spokesman said,
all but some 2,000 had
their electricity restored.
Company spokesman
Mark Jacobs said that
workers hoped to get as
many residents back on
line as possible before
plunging temperatures, as
low as the mid-20s, hit the
region Saturday Forecast-
ers said those freezing
temperatures will con-
tinue through Saturday
night.
Phone services were
also interrupted, a United


Telephone spokesman
said, with some areas, es-
pecially in the flooded
coastal region, not restored
as of Saturday night
Residents in other parts
of the county were not af-
fected. Extremely high
winds from the late winter
storm that swallowed the
Southeast whipped the
county through the night
and all day Saturday, caus-
ing widespread property
damage from the wind and
downed trees.
By 11 a.m., County Com-
mission Chairman Gary
Bartell declared a local
state of emergency Gov.
Lawton Chiles declared 21
counties, including Citrus,
a disaster area.
It was too early to esti-
mate the damage the
storm inflicted on the
county, sheriff's spokes-
woman Gail Tierney said.
The Florida National
Guard and everyone with
an available boat or four-
wheel drive vehicle were
called in Saturday to help
officials evacuate
stranded coastal residents
and campers before a 4
p.m. high tide.
"The water is still ris-
ing," Citrus County
Sheriff's Department
spokesman Pat Fisher said
around 3 p.m. "I don't
think anyone anticipated
the storm surge that came
with this storm."
County emergency offi-
cials called the storm the


worst in recent memory and
its affects are widespread.
Floodwaters spilled
onto the floor of the old
Crystal River bank build-
ing at the corner of U.S. 19
and Citrus Avenue in
downtown Crystal River.
Rusty Harry, county
emergency management
assistant, said officials
predict that Saturday's
storm surge at high tide
should surpass the highest
flood marking by one to
two feet at the former
bank.
"I've been here 15 years
and we've never had any-
thing like this," county
Emergency Medical Serv-
ices Director Steve
Lovenguth said.
Hurricane Elena sat off
the coast in Sept. 1985
lashing Citrus, but
Lovenguth said that storm
and its subsequent flood-
ing doesn't compare to Sat-
urday's disaster.
"With Elena we had
warning. With this, what
did we have?" Lovenguth
said as he prepared to
launch his department's
pontoon boat on County
Road 44 in Crystal River
Emergency officials
were bracing Saturday
night for another surge of
water to hit the coastline
about midnight when the
third high tide of the storm
was predicted. Security
was in place, where feasi-
ble, Saturday night to

borhoods, Ms. Tierney
said.
Residents should be
able to return to their com-
munities to assess damage
about 6 a.m. Ms. Tierney
said.
Of immediate concern to
emergency personnel Sat-
urday morning was getting
residents in Old Ho-
mosassa, Ozello and in the
waterfront communities
and campground that line
County Road 44, also
known as Fort Island Trail.
"We're trying to evacu-
ate an entire city," Crystal
River Police Chief Roger
Krieger said. "It's a mess."
Around 10 a.m. the
Florida Highway Patrol
closed U.S. 19 both direc-
tions into Crystal River
Traffic was bypassed
onto Northeast Eighth Av-
enue to State Road 44 be-
fore flooding shut that
bypass down too. As the
water steadily moved in-
land, so to did unusable
evacuation routes.
Evacuees were shuttled
from boat to boat and onto
school buses. The buses
moved the residents to
American Red Cross shel-
ters at either Rock
Crusher Elementary
School, Citrus Spring Ele-
mentary School and
Lecanto High School.
However, those who did
not wish to be evacuated
were not forced to leave.

Twenty years ago, the

by a toxin in the algae

DeWit said the toxins in

onto the sea grass that
manatee eat, causing
them to become para-

drown. The grass beds
will also likely retain
their poisonous coating
for another two months.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Redaction causes delays in getting court files


Associated Press
ORLANDO It seems like a
reasonable idea: Before the
records in a criminal or civil
case can be made public,
Florida's clerks of court must
purge them of all Social Secu-
rity, credit card and bank
numbers.
But in many of the state's 67
counties, that task has caused
delays in the release of records
available to the public under
Florida's public records laws.
Even though very few records
have such information, every
file has to be screened to make
sure they are free of personal in-
formation under a new law that
went into effect last year Delays
in getting the court records can
prevent information about cases
from being released in a timely
manner. This is important not
only to the media, but to individ-
uals and businesses that need
quick access to cases they wish
to learn about.
The Associated Press and
newspapers throughout the
state visited every county's clerk
of court offices in recent weeks
to see whether each is comply-
ing with the law and how much
of a delay it is causing in the re-
lease of information. The proj-
ect, under the direction of the
Florida Society of News Editors,
was done in conjunction with
this year's Sunshine Week, an
annual initiative starting Sun-
day to promote greater trans-
parency in government
In order to test the effect of
the new requirement, represen-
tatives from 31 news organiza-
tions requested to view the hard
copies of two civil cases and two
criminal cases in all 67 counties.
The criminal cases were gener-
ally one week old and six
months old, as were the civil
cases. Requests for 268 records
were made.
The news organizations
found:
In just over half of the coun-
ties, there was a delay in re-
trieving the records whether
it was because personal infor-
mation needed to be redacted,
because the file wasn't yet in the
clerk's office or because the file
couldn't be found.
The need to review and
redact a file of personal infor-
mation led to some kind of delay
in more than a fifth of the total
records requested by the news
organizations.


Technology aids public records searches


Citrus County passes

annual test ofclerk's office
A.B. SIDIBE
Staff writer
INVERNESS I, like other reporters in
Florida's 67 counties who went into their re-
spective clerks of courts offices in the past cou-
ple of weeks, anonymously requested to view
hard copies of four random files from the
past half year two civil and two
criminal.
When my number was called, I
stepped up and made my request, but the
clerk told me since 2011 all files that are <'
available to be viewed online can only be
viewed that way and pointed me in the 1
direction of the computer terminals in r
the office and the others in the entry An,
area of the courthouse building. Vi
I was not asked why I wanted to view Citrus
the files, nor was I asked to fill out any clerk o
paperwork or produce identification -
all things which can deter or delay members of
the public from getting access to public infor-
mation under Florida's public records laws.
I went online and easily viewed all four files
online, albeit in their redacted or edited versions.


Of the 61 files that required
some kind of personal informa-
tion removed, the delay was a
day or more in almost two-thirds
of the cases. In four cases, the
delay was three days.
In seven cases, no answer
was given about how long it
would take to remove the per-
sonal information, or testers
were told they would be con-
tacted by the clerks' office when
the redacting was finished but
were never contacted.
In other cases, court records
couldn't be retrieved because a
deputy clerk was out with a sick
child, a clerk's office employee
said she was too busy to retrieve
them and, six times, computer
problems prevented the records
from being looked up
electronically
Testers were asked to iden-
tify themselves in 18 counties,
even though that is not required
under state law the records
are supposed to be available to
anyone.
Although Florida's public
records laws don't spell out how
long it should take to retrieve a
record, the courts have ruled a
record should be produced in no


g

"We are here to serve the public and we're al-
ways looking for new ways to make it easier for
people to get the information they asked for,"
Citrus County Clerk of Courts Angela Vick said.
Vick said since 2011, court files get imaged and
placed online. Her office has redaction software
to automatically edit files as they get uploaded.
'And if it is an older case, the redaction typi-
cally takes about an hour or two to complete,"
Vick said.
The Florida Society of News Editors conducts
this annual exercise to coincide with Sunshine
Week, which starts Sunday, "to promote
greater transparency in
government"
And, this year, it also was to test the ef-
fects of a new law passed last year re-
3 quiring clerks' offices to redact certain
personal information, such as Social Se-
-y curity numbers and names of victims in
some cases. The redaction process, some
argue, can prevent information about
'cka cases from being released in a timely
Countymanner.
courts From the results of this year's exer-
cise, it appears the redaction rule is in-
deed slowing down the request process
but in Citrus County, and in a handful of oth-
ers, technology is making it look seamless.

more time than it takes to re-
trieve the record and review and
redact exempt information, at-
torney Jon Kaney said.
"So the reasonable time to re-
view a document looking for ex-
empt numbers ordinarily should
be a matter of hours, not day,"
Kaney said. "There is no al-
lowance in the right of access for
'getting around to it.' The duty to
provide access to records is
equal in dignity to any other
duty of a records custodian."
The mandate that personal in-
formation be removed from
court records went into effect
last year during a period of
major transition for court clerk
offices statewide. The 67 clerks
of courts are required to convert
to an electronic system by the
end of this year, and the clerks
offices are in various stages of
meeting that goal. The redaction
requirement was added to
Florida's public records to pro-
tect privacy as files become
available electronically and
more easily shared.
"I think there are still growing
pains here," said Jon Mills, a
University of Florida law pro-
fessor. "The removal of personal


information, things like Social
Security and other things, we al-
ways knew that was going to be
important, and not necessarily
easy"
Delays and errors
In most cases where retrieval
was delayed, the reason was
personal information needed to
be redacted. But in Wakulla
County in the Panhandle, two
criminal files couldn't be re-
trieved because they were in the
office of the deputy clerk, who
was out with a sick child.
In Hardee County, computers
meant for members of the public
to view files electronically only
showed the cases' dockets the
list of documents filed but
didn't provide access to actual
documents. A deputy clerk, in an
attempt to assist, tried finding
the documents on her computer
behind the counter but was un-
able to get them. The media rep-
resentative was told he could
view the hard copies since the
electronic versions were un-
available, even though he had
been told only minutes before he
couldn't view hard copies unless
he was an attorney in the case.


The removal
of personal
information,
things like
Social Security
and other things,
we always knew
that was going to
be important, and
not necessarily
easy.
Jon Mills
law professor at
University of Florida.
In Clay County, when the
media representative asked to
see the hard copies of two crim-
inal files, the deputy clerk in-
sisted the tester view them
electronically and then said she
didn't have time to pull the hard
copies.
In the 31 counties where there
was no delay, hard copies were
available in 20 counties and the
cases could only be viewed elec-
tronically by computers in the
clerks' offices in the other 11.
The counties where hard
copies were available tended to
be in rural counties, where
cases that only could be viewed
electronically tended to be in
larger counties in Central
Florida and along the Gulf
Coast.
Despite the redaction re-
quirement, Social Security num-
bers were left in files in
Columbia, Gilchrist, Hardee and
Hernando counties.
Electronic transition
As the clerks' offices transi-
tion from paper to electronic,
many offer members of the pub-
lic review of both hard copies
and electronic files.
In Lake County, recently
redacted cases can be retrieved
electronically without delay on
the offices' computers. But re-
trieving hard copies took one
day for civil files and three days
for criminal files, as deputy
clerks needed time to remove
personal information.
Lake County Clerk of the Circuit
Court Neil Kelly said conversion

Church hosts special baby shower


ERYN WORTHINGTON/Chronicle
Many of the women who attended the baby shower Saturday at Suncoast Baptist
Church have been buying and collecting baby items for months. Baby shower items
were stacked high on a table.


ERYN WORTHINGTON
Staff writer
HOMOSASSA The
women of Suncoast Bap-
tist Church have found a
way to support mothers
who are facing unex-
pected pregnancies.
They gathered Saturday
in their church fellowship
hall for a baby shower to
benefit Life Choice Care
Center in Inverness and
Crystal River. Expecting
mothers were invited to
share in their ministry
"I was at a Christian
women's club and one of
the women responded that
they have a baby shower
every year," said event co-
ordinator Chris Beilharz.
"The light bulb went off
and I thought that is the
Holy Spirit. Why can't we
do that?"
Speaking at the baby
shower was Life Choice
Care Center executive di-
rector Kathy Davis, who
offered words of advice,


pamphlets and visuals to
those who may be consid-
ering abortion.
"We are trying to get a
program together where
mothers will be given an
ultrasound when they
come into our office,"
Davis said. "Maybe if they
see the visual of their baby
inside of them, they will
change their mind about
abortion."
Women of the church lis-
tened to the presentation
by Davis, ate cake and
desserts and then "oohed"
and "ahhed" over teeny
outfits and toys. Many of
the women have been buy-
ing and collecting baby
items for months. This was
evident at their baby
shower as items were
stacked high on a table.
Each guest was asked to
bring an unwrapped baby
gift suitable for a newborn.
The Life Choice Care
Center, which helps preg-
nant and new mothers in
need, always needs items


Life Choice Care Center
executive director Kathy
Davis spoke to women Sat-
urday at Suncoast Baptist
Church about opportunities
available to unexpectedly
pregnant woman instead of
abortion.
such as: diapers, "onesies,"
bottles, diaper bags, re-
ceiving blankets; also car
seats, strollers and cribs.
For information about
the center or contributing
baby items, call Davis at
352-341-5176 or the church

FILES
Continued from Page A12
to an electronic system
eventually will speed up
the time it takes to redact
personal information.
"As time goes on, the old
(unredacted) files become
less in demand," Kelly said.
"Over time, everything will
be electronic and it will be
redacted as it goes
through."
The clerks weren't given
any extra money to comply
with the redaction
requirement.
About $1.3 million was
spent on redaction soft-
ware in the Orange County
Clerk of Courts Office,
where the four court files
were obtained electroni-
cally without any delay by
the news organizations'
representative.
Walton County
It has been a greater
headache at a time of
major budget cuts in
smaller counties. The Wal-


ton County Clerk of Courts
Office spent $54,000 on
software that only redacts
the personal numbers. A
deputy clerk still must go
through a file that needs
redacting to make sure
other information, such as
the names of juveniles or
confidential informants,
isn't included in the file.
Documents aren't automat-
ically reviewed for redact-
ing information when a file
is created because prose-
cutors and public defend-
ers need to see the
unedited file, said Linda
Warren, director of court
services at the Walton
County Clerk of Courts Of-
fice.
When a public records
request is made, deputy
clerks must retrieve the
files from the records de-
partment, make copies,
read through them, cross
out sensitive information
and then put the redacted
version in the hard file. The
redacted version is then re-
viewed by a supervisor
When the member of the


public is done viewing it
under the observation of a
deputy clerk, the redacted
version is shredded and the
original copy is returned to
the file, Warren said.
"It's a big burden," War-
ren said. "There is no
choice but to redact after
the fact."
The redaction usually
only takes a few hours,
Warren said, but the expe-
rience of the media repre-
sentative was quite
different. She was told to
leave her phone number
and she would be con-
tacted when the files were
available. She never was.
When questioned about
that, Warren said a review
showed the worker who
had helped the media rep-
resentative that day had
been filling in, since there
was a shortage of workers.
She didn't normally work
in that area and had for-
gotten to make the request
"I apologize that the ex-
perience in Walton County
was the way it was," War-
ren said.

Flights fueled
by cooking oil
NEW YORK -A Dutch
airliner is flying from New
York to Amsterdam on a
fuel mix that includes left-
over oil from frying
Louisiana's Cajun food.
The KLM flights from
Kennedy Airport are pow-
ered by a combination of 25
percent recycled cooking oil
and 75 percent jet fuel.
After the first such flight
Friday, the concept will be
tested on 24 round-trip trans-
Atlantic trips every Thursday
for the next six months.
KLM executive Camiel
Eurlings jokingly told the
New York Post "it smelled
like fries" while the plane
was being fueled.
The waste oil from frying
up crawfish, cracklins and
other Cajun specialties is
refined at a Louisiana plant,
then trucked to JFK.
KLM said the cooking oil
reduces polluting carbon
emissions up to 80 percent.

The abduction and the
tortured negotiations that
ended it highlight the dis-


organization of the rebel
movement, which has hin-
dered its ability to fight
Assad and complicates
vows by the U.S. and oth-
ers to provide assistance.
It also has raised con-
cerns about the future of
U.N. operations in the
area. The Filipino peace-
keepers were abducted
Wednesday by one of the
rebel groups operating in
southern Syria near the
Jordanian border and the
Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights, where a U.N.


force has patrolled a
cease-fire line between Is-
rael and Syria for nearly
four decades.
Activists associated with
the group, the Yarmouk
Martyrs Brigade, gave dif-
ferent reasons for seizing
the 21 men. First they de-
manded all government
forces leave the area.
Then they suggested the
peacekeepers were
human shields against gov-
ernment attacks. Then
they declared them "hon-
ored guests" held for their


own safety.
They also released
videos online, including
one Saturday of a bearded
rebel commander with his
arms around two peace-
keepers' shoulders, flash-
ing a V for victory sign.
On Saturday, after nego-
tiations the top U.N. offi-
cial in Damascus
described as "long and dif-
ficult," the rebels changed
the plan to deliver the
peacekeepers to a U.N.
team, instead taking them
to the Jordanian border.


Difference of opinion in Egypt

Fans enraged by the verdict torched the soccer federation headquarters and a police club in Cairo in protest.

Soccer fans rampage over court verdicts from deadly melee


Associated Press

CAIRO Egyptian soccer fans
rampaged through the heart of
Cairo on Saturday, furious about
the acquittal of seven police offi-
cers while death sentences
against 21 alleged rioters were
confirmed in a trial over a sta-
dium melee that left 74 people
dead.
The case of the Feb. 1, 2012 sta-
dium riot in the city of Port Said
at the northern tip of the Suez
Canal has taken on political un-
dertones not just because police
faced allegations of negligence in
the tragedy but also because the
verdicts were announced at a
time when Egypt is in the grip of
the latest and most serious bout of
political turmoil in the two years


since Hosni Mubarak's ouster
Saturday's verdicts also were
handed down against the back-
drop of an unprecedented wave of
strikes by the nation's police force
over demands for better working
conditions and anger over what
many believe are attempts by
President Mohammed Morsi and
his Muslim Brotherhood to take
control of the police force.
Tensions over the riot which
began when supporters of Port
Said's Al-Masry club set upon
fans of Cairo's Al-Ahly club after
the final whistle of a league game
that the home team won have
fueled some of the deadliest
street violence in months. Police
guarding the stadium, mean-
while, faced allegations ranging
from not searching people enter-


ing the stadium to failing to inter-
vene to stop the bloodshed.
Shortly after the verdict was
announced Saturday, angry fans
of Cairo's Al-Ahly club who had
gathered in the thousands outside
the team's headquarters in cen-
tral Cairo went on a rampage,
torching a police club nearby and
storming Egypt's soccer federa-
tion headquarters before setting
it ablaze.
The twin fires sent plumes of
thick black smoke billowing out
over the Cairo skyline, prompting
Defense Minister Abdel-Fattah
el-Sissi to dispatch two army hel-
icopters to extinguish the fires.
At least five people were in-
jured in the protests over the ver-
dict, a Health Ministry official
told the MENA state news agency


Sistine chimney installed as conclave nears

VATICAN CITY The
Vatican sought Saturday to
quash speculation that di-
visions among cardinals
could drag out the con-
clave to elect the new
pope, while preparations
for the vote plowed ahead
with firefighters installing
the Sistine Chapel chim-
ney that will tell the world
when a decision has been

But the specter of an in-
conclusive first few rounds
of secret balloting re-
mained high, with no clear
front-runner heading into
Tuesday's papal election
and a long list of cardinals
still angling to discuss the
church's problems ahead
of the vote.
"You don't have your
mind absolutely made up"
going into the conclave, U.S.
Cardinal Justin Rigali, who
participated in the 2005
conclave that elected Bene-
dict XVI, told The Associ-
ated Press this week. "You
have your impressions."
The Vatican spokesman,
however, took pains to
stress the "vast," near-
unanimous decision by the
115 cardinal electors to set
Tuesday as the conclave

Chapel on Saturday, where cardinals will gather to elect

start date and noted no
conclave in the past cen-
tury has dragged on for
more than five days.
"I think it's a process
that can be carried out in a
few days without much dif-
ficulty," spokesman the
Rev Federico Lombardi
told reporters.
While Tuesday's initial
voting will likely see a
broad number of candi-
dates nominated, subse-
quent rounds will quickly
whittle down the field to
those candidates who are
likely to obtain the two-
thirds, or 77 votes neces-
sary for victory, he said.


"This process of identi-
fying the candidates who
can receive the consensus
and on whom cardinals
can converge is a process
that can move with notable
speed," Lombardi said.
The Vatican was cer-
tainly going full-throttle
Saturday with prepara-
tions: Inside the frescoed
Sistine Chapel, workmen
staple-gunned the brown
felt carpeting to the false
floor that has been con-
structed to even out the
stairs and cover the jam-
ming equipment that has
been installed to prevent
cellphone or eavesdrop-


ping devices from working.
Off in the rear left-hand
corner sat the stove, a cen-
tury-old cast iron oven
where the voting ballot pa-
pers are burned, sending
up puffs of smoke to tell
the world if a pope has
been elected (white
smoke) or not (black).
After years of confusion,
the Vatican in 2005 in-
stalled an auxiliary stove
where fumigating cases
are lit.
The smoke from those
cases joins the burned bal-
lot smoke in a single cop-
per pipe that snakes up
the Sistine's frescoed
walls, out the window and
up on the roof where fire-
men Saturday fitted the
chimney top.
Elsewhere in the Apos-
tolic Palace, officials took
measures to definitively
end Benedict XVI's pontif-
icate, destroying his fish-
erman's ring and the
personal seals and stamps
he used for official papers.
The act coupled with
Benedict's public resigna-
tion and pledge of obedi-
ence to the future pope -
is designed to signal the
end of his papacy so there
is no doubt a new pope is
in charge.

Socializing, refreshing in traditional bath houses


When traveling in
China, there is not a
more interesting
activity than to ride a
pedi-cab (rickshaw in the old
days), through the hutongs (old
neighborhoods) in Beijing.
A visit to Turkey would not be
complete without a visit to
Pamukkale and a dip in the
famous hot thermal waters of
the travertines, enjoyable and
relaxing.
Likewise, a trip to Morocco is not complete with-
out a visit to a hammam, which is a bath house
where the locals go for a cleansing of their bodies.
The hammam has been an important part of Mo-
roccan culture since Roman times.
Many of the hotels in Morocco have hammams
and I am told that most are more westernized by
offering fragrances and other services, as well as
use of traditional black olive soap and lava clay
Local hammams, however, serve a more funda-
mental need as a weekly, or more frequent, bath
and relaxation, self-administered, while interact-
ing with family or friends.
I was in the small town of
Tinghir, Morocco, when our
guide invited our group of 10,
men and women, to accom-
pany him to the local ham-
mam explaining that the
women and men do not share
the same facilities. I was the
only volunteer, so off we went
to the hammam he frequents
when in Erfoud.

before arriving at the third and final room with

A male attendant directed me to have a seat on
the tile floor, after he had thoroughly scrubbed the
area, with my back against the wall where several
other men were seated in the same position. Others
were washing themselves, most likely their weekly
bath, while my attendant began to scald me with
steaming hot water, followed by scrubbing me with
gloves that felt like course sandpaper to exfoliate
my skin. I didn't anticipate, however, that more than
one or two layers would be removed. I exaggerate a
bit, but now know the meaning of "deep cleaning."
We moved to another room that was not quite so
hot, and sat on the tile floor with backs against the
wall, along with others who were at the same stage
of cleansing. To say this was the torture chamber
would be a stretch, so let's just call it a deep mas-
sage with a lot of flexing of joints to a degree that I

didn't think possible. This procedure encompassed
my entire body, head to toe, and hardly a spot was
overlooked. This was undoubtedly the most thor-
ough massage that I have ever had. Most locals,
however, are there for bathing and do not routinely
get the message.
I was then washed down with a softer scrub, with
warm water rather than hot, and began to cool
down. The time frame for these two procedures
was about 20 minutes each, although most locals
spend more time, as the hammam is often a social
event.
The next room we entered was cooler and I sat
with my back against the wall cooling down, con-
templating the event My mind and body were in a
complete state of peace and relaxation, and the
cool tile was welcome refreshment It was here that
I was handed a towel in preparation for our depar-
ture and proceeded back to the dressing room
where we had entered. What a wonderful experi-
ence for body and mind, as I pondered when I
might arrange another hammam.


I will be more experienced in hammam etiquette
next time and will not repeat my actions in the
dressing room, where I dropped my soaked shorts
to the floor as I walked to retrieve my basket of
clothes. My guide rushed over with a towel and cov-
ered me, while explaining that Moroccan men do
not expose themselves to other men.
Rules are rules, to which I quickly complied!
If you are ever invited to participate in this most
therapeutic and practical bath and massage, run,
don't walk, to the hammam, I'm sure you will come
away in the most invigorated mode you've ever ex-
perienced.

Dear Annie: I am
unable to develop
feelings of love for
my husband of eight
years. In fact, deep in-
side, I despise him.
This is my second mar-
riage, his fourth. In our
early years together, I
began to notice obvious
signs of his having an in-
timate relationship with
another woman. He al-
ways refuted
this vehe-
mently and
became angry
with me for
even saying
such a thing.
But the evi-
dence I've ac-
cumulated is
enough proof
for me. I even
saw this
woman multi- ANN
ple times, and MAIL
the looks she MAIL
gave me were
of the "cat that ate the ca-
nary" variety.
My husband has no
idea that I have evidence,
although I am now posi-
tive he has stopped see-
ing this woman. My
problem is that my heart
has a layer of cement
around it because he has
insulted and disre-
spected my intelligence
by continuing to lie about
it I cannot trust someone
who is unable to be
truthful.
If my husband would
only come forward and
admit his guilt, as hard as
it would be, I would be
able to go through the
process of forgiving this


betrayal. But he is unwill-
ing. It saddens me that he
is still robbing us both of
a better marriage. Any
advice? Heart of Stone
Dear Heart of Stone:
Your heart isn't cement.
You care a great deal and
are trying to protect your-
self from the pain of
being hurt. It's possible
that your "proof" doesn't
tell the whole story Your
husband may
have been less
involved than
your evidence
would indicate,
in which case,
he doesn't be-
lieve he has
anything to
admit. Please
don't play
games with
your marriage.
E'S If you have
BOX proof, show
OX him.
Tell him you
are willing to forgive if he
comes clean, and that not
discussing it honestly
could destroy your
relationship.
If this still doesn't help
you find the reassurance
you need, please con-
sider counseling, with or
without him.

Many cooperate to keep food bank running


Last month's request
for donations of dry
and canned food to
supplement the shelves of
our Food Bank brought fab-
ulous results, and it's be-
cause of those generous
donations that we can con-
tinue to provide food for our
local veterans and their
families.
Besides the donations by
individuals and visitors to
our area, the Citrus County
Schools delivered five pal-
lets of food their students
and teachers had collected.
We'd like to extend our
thanks to the generosity of
everyone who has been a
part of this.
The Citrus County Veter-
ans Coalition (CCVC)
started out small. Similar to
the likes of other successful
entities, our Food Bank was
at first operated out of a
garage-like setting. The cur-
rent shed-type building was
first brought to the grounds

up the lead.

We don't need to shoot 50 per-
cent. But if we make a couple
of chippies around the basket
and maybe one jump shot,
you're right there to win the
game, and you probably do
win the game."
It wasn't that the Gators
were taking forced shots dur-
ing their drought. Patric
Young missed a layup and a
point-blank jump hook.
Wilbekin also missed a layup.
And when Donovan drew
up a play to get an alley-oop
dunk for Casey Prather, the
play worked. But Wilbekin
threw a bad pass, and Prather
couldn't handle it. The ball
sailed out of bounds.

The Canadiens pulled
within 3-2 on Brian
Gionta's power-play goal
3:49 into the third, and
Alexei Emelin tied it at
7:33. Gallagher then put
the puck past Cedrick Des-
jardins from in-close to
give Montreal a 4-3 lead
with 7:57 to play
Steven Stamkos scored
his 19th goal, and Martin
St. Louis had two assists

Blue Jackets 3,
Red Wings 0
COLUMBUS, Ohio-
Sergei Bobrovsky had 29
saves in his first career
shutout, and Cam Atkinson
and Nick Foligno took advan-

suddenly hot Columbus Blue
Jackets to a victory over the
Red Wings.

up a power-play goal for the
Blue Jackets, who have won
four in a row and earned points

Columbus.

Woods stretches


margin at Doral


Associated Press

DORAL Tiger Woods
hit a tee shot that got
stuck in a palm tree.
That's about the only
thing that didn't fall his
way Saturday in the
Cadillac Championship.
Woods made seven
more birdies on the Blue
Monster at Doral, the last
one from 15 feet on the
18th hole that gave him a
5-under 67 and a four-shot
lead over Graeme Mc-
Dowell heading into the
final round.
Woods has made 24
birdies and taken only 74
putts through three rounds,
both personal bests in his
PGA Tour career
It put him in great posi-
tion to win his 17th career
World Golf Championship,
and his first since 2009.
He has a 39-2 record
when he has the outright
lead going into the final
round on the PGA Tour.
The only time he has ever
lost a lead of more than
two shots was in 2010
against an 18-man field at
the Chevron World Chal-
lenge, when McDowell


beat him in a playoff.
McDowell was six shots
out of the lead with three
holes to play when he
tried to keep it close. His
drive on the 16th finished
just over the green, and
he chipped in for eagle.
He picked up another
shot on the 17th when
Woods' tee shot embed-
ded high into the trunk of
a palm tree. Once his ball
was identified, he took a
penalty drop and made
bogey
The lead was down to
three shots, but not for long.
Woods holed his birdie
putt to reach 18-under
198, and McDowell did
well to stay only four shots
behind with a two-putt
from 85 feet away That
gave him a 69, and an-
other date with Woods in
the final group at Doral.
Phil Mickelson, who
badly wanted to get into
the final group, overcame
a three-putt from 4 feet
for double bogey on the
third hole by making four
birdies the rest of the way
He had a 69, along with
Steve Stricker, and both
were five shots behind.

Miami came through.
Kenny Kadji scored a season-
high 23 points to help the sixth-
ranked Hurricanes win the
Atlantic Coast Conference
championship outright by beat-
ing Clemson 62-49 on Saturday
Kadji also grabbed 12 re-
bounds and Miami (24-6, 15-3 At-
lantic Coast Conference)
clinched its first outright men's
basketball league title after
being foiled in consecutive
losses to Duke and Georgia
Tech. The Hurricanes tied the
school record for victories set in

and improved to 14-1 at home in
their regular-season finale.

first title since joining the conference
in 2005-06.

of Marquette's six in overtime, for
the Golden Eagles (23-7, 14-4 Big

a share of the Atlantic 10 title with a
78-54 victory over La Salle.

some help to avoid playing next

Sam Hornish Jr. comes out of Turn 4 during the
Nationwide Series auto race Saturday in Las Vegas.

Hornish claims


Nationwide race


Hamlin fired

up for Sprint

Cup race

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS Sam
Hornish Jr didn't know
the name of Saturday's
race until he went to the
drivers' meeting for the
Sam's Town 300.
"That's a pretty good one
for me to win," he thought
to himself. 'Already got my
name on the trophy"
Hornish survived two
restarts in the final 15 laps
and held off Kyle Busch to
win the Nationwide Se-
ries race at the Las Vegas
Motor Speedway
Hornish led 114 laps in
his second career Nation-
wide victory, but needed a
strong finish to outrun
Busch, the hometown
driver who won the Na-
tionwide race last week in
Phoenix.
Hornish credited the
win to his dominant car,
all the more impressive
since the drivers got al-
most no practice on the
1.5-mile tri-oval due to
Friday's rain.
"You dream about hav-
ing cars like this," Hor-
nish said. "I think I used
more energy celebrating
than I did actually driving


the car today"
Hamlin could be
fired up for Vegas
NASCAR race
LAS VEGAS Maybe
Denny Hamlin can channel
his fury over his $25,000 fine
from NASCAR into a fast fin-
ish at the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway.
Hamlin got docked for his
pessimistic comments about
the new Gen-6 car, and his
anger over the decision over-
shadowed the week leading
up to NASCAR's third race in
an already interesting season.
While Hamlin stewed and
refused to pay the fine, most
drivers think Sunday is their
first real chance to test their
new rides on the intermediate
tracks they're built to race.
The Vegas race is a bit too
early in the season for gam-
bling, however. While most
teams are still brimming with
optimism after the first two
races of the season at Day-
tona and Phoenix, some
drivers think it's not too early
to start worrying about the
overall standings.
"It's so important to get
that momentum and the
points base established,"
Clint Bowyer said. "We've al-
ready seen teams struggle
the very first two races and
get themselves behind."
Brad Keselowski was
awarded the Vegas pole
after rain scrubbed Friday's
qualifying session.

LOLLYPOP
Continued from Page B1


"It is good golf, good competition," Walker
said. "All the ladies in the area who play com-
petitively know what it means to win the Lol-
lypop. If you say you won the Lollypop people
are pretty impressed."
The 68 registered golfers, representing 18
different courses, show the depth of this
year's field as well as its far-reaching draw.
Kathy Butler will make the trip from East Bay
Country Club in Largo while Lynne Busco
will make the trek from Mount Dora Golf
Club. One-time Lollipop champion Karen
Greenway, an on-the-go business women, al-
ways keep the two tournament days open.
"It is a great course, great golf and a well-
run tournament that is worthy of taking time
out of my busy schedule," Greenway said
while on a business trip in California.
The course will play roughly 5,390 yards.
According to Walker, it is one of the longer
courses in the area. Water can also creep up
on the golfers.
"The course does have quite a bit of water,"
said Walker. '"A lot of water doesn't come into
play but it is always in the back of your mind
on some holes."
Last year's tournament winner Briget Broth-
ers, who beat Barbara Breesman in a playoff,
is not in the field this year to defend her title.
The other flight winners from last year include
Jorie Bertine (second flight), Betty Bleakley
(third), Carol Biedscheid (fourth), Shirley
Kupp (fifth), Kay Beaufait and Jessie Helton
(sixth) and Karen Stanley (seventh).
The action begins Tuesday with a 10 a.m.
shotgun. Wednesday's final round will begin
at 9 a.m.

CLAW
Continued from Page B1


With about 15 seconds left and Kentucky up
59-57, Kenny Boynton pulled up for a 15-foot
jumper to tie the game. The ball glanced off
the back rim and bounced out of bounds to
the Wildcats (21-10, 12-6).
Despite the loss, Florida finished the sea-
son as SEC regular-season champions for the
second time in three seasons and third time
in seven years. Five of the Gators' six SEC
championships have come during Donovan's
17-year tenure as coach.
Kentucky's victory clinched the No. 2 seed
in the conference tournament and bolstered
the defending national champions' chances
to land an NCAA tournament bid.
Julius Mays' two free throws with 9.4 sec-
onds remaining capped Kentucky's come-
back.

Learn to stretch
with Parks & Rec
Citrus County Parks &
Recreation offers a low-impact
stretching class. This ongoing
class will be from 10 to 11 a.m.
at Citrus Springs Community
Center. Cost is $5 per class.
The low-impact class is
easy, fun with good benefits.
Stretching helps to make
you more flexible and regu-
lar stretching will help mobil-
ity and balance. This helps
to slow down the onset of
common degenerative con-


editions, such as osteoarthri-
tis. Stretching increases
physical and mental relax-
ation and reduces the risk of
joint sprain, muscle strain or
back problems. Low-impact
exercises can improve
health and fitness without
harming weight-bearing
joints. Research suggests
that moderate-intensity, low-
impact activity is just as ef-
fective as high-impact
activity in lowering the risk of
heart disease.

The 1970s sitcom star has

was so dire.
Harper, 73, played Rhoda
Morgenstern on television's
"The Mary Tyler Moore

Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill are in a scene from "Star Wars." Fisher said she's
coming back as Princess Leia for the new "Star Wars" films. The actress confirmed she will
return as the iconic character in an interview posted Wednesday with Florida's Palm Beach
Illustrated. Casting for the films has yet to be announced, but Fisher answered a simple "yes"
when asked if she would reprise her role as Leia.

Lucas says 'Star Wars' trio returning for new film


Associated Press

NEW YORK It appears the Force is still
strong with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and
Carrie Fisher.
In an interview posted online Thursday,
George Lucas said the trio from the original
"Star Wars" trilogy will reprise their iconic
roles of Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker and
Princess Leia in the new "Star Wars" film.
Lucas told Bloomberg Businessweek all
three were signed for the new "Episode VII"
film in advance of Lucasfilm's $4 billion pur-
chase by Disney
"We had already signed Mark and Carrie
and Harrison or were pretty much in the
final stages of negotiation," Lucas said.
He added: "Maybe I'm not supposed to say
that. I think they want to announce that with
some big whoop-de-do."
In an interview posted Wednesday with
Florida's Palm Beach Illustrated, Fisher said
she'll be coming back as Princess Leia.
Disney's Lucasfilm was coy in response. In
a statement, a spokesperson for the company
said, "George couldn't say whether they were
signed or not and neither can we. As Yoda
said, 'Always in motion is the future.' Stay
tuned."

Star Wars movies
PHOENIX Star Wars fans have more than
just Episodes 7, 8 and 9 to look forward to.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the annual
shareholders meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday
that the company is developing "some stand-
alone movies" featuring Star Wars characters.
The news is likely to set off a new round of
speculation about what's in store for the Lucas-
film franchise. The buzz has been at fever pitch
levels since The Walt Disney Co. said in October
it was acquiring the studio for $4 billion.
Iger didn't say which characters might be fea-
tured in the standalone films. Some Star Wars
characters such as bounty hunter Boba Fett
have been given bigger treatments in comic
books.

original three space epics. J.J. Abrams is di-
recting the first film. The 70-year-old Ford,
the 61-year-old Hamill and the 56-year-old
Fisher are expected to play smaller, support-
ing roles.
A representative for Ford declined to com-
ment. Hamill's representatives didn't imme-
diately return requests for comment.

Debunking myths of

developmental issues
MELISSA WALKER
Special to the Chronicle
March marks National Develop-
mental Disability Awareness
Month. The Key Training Center
joins other organizations across the coun-
try in efforts to increase understanding
and reduce myths of developmental dis-
abilities through community education.
What is a
developmental disability?
Several terms are commonly used when
describing an individual with a develop-
mental disability, including intellectual
disability, developmental delay, mentally
challenged, physically challenged, cogni-
tive disability and mental retardation.
Mental retardation is a term once com-
monly used to describe someone who learns
and develops more slowly than others. But it
is not used as much anymore. Instead, you
might hear terms such as "intellectual dis-
ability" or "developmental delay"
People who have autism, cerebral palsy,
Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities,
Prader-Willi syndrome or certain forms of
spina bifida are considered to have a de-
velopmental disability.
A disability refers to personal limita-
tions representing a substantial disadvan-
tage when attempting to function in
society. People with developmental dis-
abilities may not learn as quickly as oth-
ers or express themselves clearly Others
may have limited ability to take care of
their physical needs or experience lim-
ited mobility Many people have more
than one disability.
Facts, figures of
developmental disability
Nearly 3 percent of the general popula-
tion has a developmental disability, which
means one out of every 10 families is af-
fected. A developmental disability is a life-
long cognitive disability originating
sometime between birth and age 18. The


BIL


TERMS USED TO DESCRIBE
A PERSON WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY

person's general intellectual functioning in-
volving the ability to reason, learn, solve
problems and understand is significantly
below average (roughly an IQ of 70 or
below).
The person's behavior does not meet the
level of personal independence and social
responsibility expected of the person's age
and culture. They have significant limita-
tions in two or more adaptive behaviors,
including the conceptual, social and prac-
tical skills that have to be learned to func-
tion in everyday life situations. Learning
how to handle money, knowing how to
read a name in the restaurant, obeying
laws and following rules, taking medica-
tions, preparing meals and keeping house
are all adaptive behavior skills.
Developmental disability not
the same as mental illness
A developmental disability and mental
illness are not the same condition, al-
though they can occur in the same person.
Unlike mental illness, a developmental
disability is always associated with lim-
ited intellectual capacity, occurs before
age 18 and is a permanent condition. In
contrast, mental illness is not associated
with a particular level of intelligence, may
occur in a person at any age and is often
temporary and treatable. Like all other
persons, individuals with developmental
disabilities can become mentally ill and
can be treated for their mental illness.
Causes of developmental
disabilities
A developmental disability crosses all
racial, social and economic lines and can
occur in any family Several hundred


IES


causes have been discovered, but in 75
percent of the cases the cause remains un-
known. Some known causes include: ge-
netic conditions, use of alcohol or drugs by
the pregnant mother, complications at
birth, childhood diseases (chicken pox,
measles, HIV), environmental health haz-
ards and serious injury to the brain.
Helping people with
developmental disabilities
Helping people with disabilities live
successful lives in our community is what
National Developmental Disability Aware-
ness Month is all about But, how do we do
that? We do it by giving people with devel-
opmental disabilities the opportunity to be
our neighbors, co-workers and friends.
People with developmental disabilities
have hopes, dreams and desires just like
us. They also experience common emo-
tions such as sadness, anger, boredom and
interest. They can learn, adjust socially
and benefit from appropriate education,
training, personal care and opportunities
to work. It is important they be given the
opportunity to make choices about em-
ployment, lifestyle and housing.
The Key Training Center, a nonprofit or-
ganization providing year-round educa-
tional, vocational, recreational and
residential services to adults with develop-
mental disabilities, invites you to dedicate
this month to seeing everyone in your life,
especially persons with a developmental
disability, as people first and foremost.
To learn more about the broad scope of
services and the amazing things happening
in our community for persons with develop-
mental disabilities, consider scheduling a
tour of the Key Training Center by calling
352-795-5541 ext 313. On such a visit, one will
quickly see people with developmental dis-
abilities are people first, and they have the
same desires and needs as anyone. They are
individuals with abilities. As friendships de-
velop, gaps or differences disappear reveal-
ing mutual commonalities which support
the fact that people with developmental dis-
abilities are more like us than different

Using military to bring peace into Third World


MICHAEL FRANCIS
Special to the Chronicle
When author Fred Kaplan
started writing "The In-
surgents," he intended
to explain how a relatively small
group of military men and civil-
ians managed to get the army to
adopt a new strategy counter-
insurgency (COIN) suitable for
today's challenges abroad. But
now the leading proponent of
that strategy, David Petraeus, be-
came director of the Central In-
telligence Agency and then
suddenly fell into disgrace as a

result of an affair with a female
author who was writing a book
about him.
As Kaplan explains in his in-
troduction, since World War I,
U.S. military strategy assumed


war would be powerful, high-tech
armies facing each other in gi-
gantic tank battles on the plains
of eastern Europe between
NATO and the Warsaw Pact. But
after our strategy in Vietnam


proved inadequate against a low-
tech army, a group of U.S. mili-
tary thinkers began looking at
"small wars" such as fought by
European forces against colonial
uprisings. Even the United States
had gotten involved in places
such as El Salvador, Grenada, the
Philippines, Vietnam and else-
where. These were frustrating
conflicts against effective but
poorly armed enemies by Ameri-
can standards; thus a strategy for
these counter insurgencies
seemed necessary

OUT THE
WINDOW


A tale


of two


cities
wenty-five years
ago, downtown In-
verness was pretty
much in a shambles.
Many of the old store-
fronts were closed and
the downtown area was
considered dead.
The Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation
wanted to four-lane U.S.
41 right through the mid-
dle of town and wipe out
the personality of the
county seat
The FDOT effort
helped jolt business and
government leaders
back into action. FDOT
was convinced to run
Main Street on the west
side of the downtown
area. Citizens got behind
an effort to renovate the
aging old courthouse.
Slowly, a rebirth began.
Inverness City Man-
ager Frank DiGiovanni
took the lead of the mu-
nicipality and kept push-
ing city, county and
business leaders to make
things happen in the
county seat. DiGiovanni
always talked about a big
vision. He saw big things
were possible for Inver-
ness and helped make
them happen.
There were brutal
battles along the way.
The county tried to
move the county seat to
Lecanto. The merchants
association battled
DiGiovanni over who
had the right to set the
rules for downtown. On
several occasions, Di-
Giovanni convinced the
city council to hire out-
side consultants to con-
struct a "vision" for what
Inverness could look
like. We saw big govern-
ment buildings, a thriv-
ing downtown and a
biking community with
lots of amenities.
Only about half of
what DiGiovanni saw in
these "visions" became
a reality. But the reality
is good.
Inverness certainly
has problems, just like
every other small town.
But today Inverness has
become a destination.
People come to eat,
work, bike and live in
Inverness.
And DiGiovanni's vi-
sion, with the assistance
of state grants and smart
public spending, is a
source of pride.
The city takes risks, as
was demonstrated re-
cently when the council
voted to purchase the di-
lapidated Valerie Movie
Theater and turn it into
some type of entertain-
ment gathering center.
The council did not have
a clear idea of where it
was going with the the-
ater, but when you have
vision, you have got to
have faith.
The city of Crystal
River, the county's only
other city, has struggled
for years to find a com-
mon vision. The key
problem was, for 15
years city government
was unstable. Every time
there was a problem, the
council voted to fire its
city manager- the head
of local government
Over a 10-year period,
I think the county fired
nine administrators. We
lost count after a while
and decided if you didn't
last six months as a city

Child Pop-Tart terrorist


WASHINGTON
Rodney Francis is insuffi-
ciently ambitious. The
pastor of the Washington
Tabernacle Baptist
Church in St. Louis
has entered the fray
about guns, violence
and humanity's
fallen nature with a
plan for a "buyback"
of children's toy guns. /
And toy swords and
other make-believe
weapons.
There is, however, Georg
a loophole in the pas- OTI
tor's panacea. He
neglects the problem VO
of ominously nibbled
and menacingly brandished
breakfast pastries.
Joshua Welch a boy, would
not you know; no good can
come of these turbulent crea-
tures who is 7, was sus-
pended from second grade in
Maryland's Anne Arundel
County last week because of his
"Pop-Tart pistol." While eating
a rectangular fruit-filled sugary
something nutritionist
Michelle Obama probably dis-
approves of it, and don't let
Michael Bloomberg get started
-Joshua tried biting it into the
shape of a mountain, but de-
cided it looked more like a gun.
So with gender-specific perver-
sity he did the natural thing. He
said, "Bang, bang."
But is this really natural? Or
is nature taking a back seat to
nurture, yet again? Is Joshua's
"bang, bang" a manifestation of
some prompting in our defec-
tive social atmosphere, and
therefore something society
could and should stamp out?
While some might enjoy dog-
paddling around in this deep
philosophic water, Joshua's
school, taking its cue from Ham-
let, did not allow its resolve to
be "sicklied o'er with the pale
cast of thought." More eager to
act than to think, the school sus-
pended Joshua and sent a letter
to all the pupils' parents, urging
them to discuss the "incident"


- which the school includes in
the category "classroom disrup-
tions" with their children "in
a manner you deem most ap-


ge Will
'HER
ICES


propriate."
Ah, yes. The all-
purpose adjective
"appropriate." The
letter said "one of our
students used food to
make inappropriate
gestures" and al-
though "no physical
threats were made
and no one was
harmed" the code of
student conduct stip-
ulates "appropriate
consequences." The
letter, suffused with


the therapeutic ethic, suggested
parents help their children
"share their feelings" about all
this. It also said the school coun-
selor is available, presumably to
cope with Post-Pastry Trauma
Syndrome.
By now, Americans may be
numb to such imbecilities com-
mitted by the government insti-
tutions to which they entrust
their children for instruction.
Nothing surprises after that. A
5-year-old Pennsylvania girl
was labeled a "terroristic
threat," suspended from school
and ordered to undergo a psy-
chological evaluation because
she talked about shooting her-
self and others with her Hello
Kitty gun that shoots bubbles.
But looking on the bright side,
perhaps we should welcome
these multiplying episodes as tu-
torials about the nature of the
regulatory state that swaddles us
ever more snugly with its caring.
If so, give thanks for the four Min-
nesota state legislators whose bill
would ban "bullying" at school.
They define this as the use of
words, images or actions that
interfere with an individual's
ability "to participate in a safe
and supportive learning envi-
ronment." Bullying may in-
clude, among many other
things, conduct that has a
"detrimental effect" on a stu-
dent's "emotional health." Or


conduct that "creates or exac-
erbates a real or perceived im-
balance of power between
students." Or violates a stu-
dent's "reasonable expectation
of privacy." Or conduct that
"does not rise to the level of ha-
rassment" but "relates to" -
yes, relates to "the actual or
perceived race, ethnicity, color,
creed, religion, national origin,
immigration status, sex, age,
marital status, familial status,
socioeconomic status, physical
appearance, sexual orientation,
gender identity and expression,
academic status, disability, or
status with regard to public as-
sistance, age, or any additional
characteristic defined" in an-
other Minnesota statute.
If this becomes law, it will fur-
ther empower the kind of re-
lentless improvers and
mindless protectors who panic
over Pop-Tart pistols and dis-
cern terrorism in Hello Kitty
bubble guns. Such people in
Minnesota will decide what be-
havior speech, usually -
damages a "supportive learning
environment." They will sniff
out how students' speech or be-
havior have real or perceived
- by whom? effects on the
balance of "power" among stu-
dents. And school bureaucra-
cies will ponder whether what
Sally told Eleanor about Brad's
behavior with Pam after the
prom violated Brad's, or per-
haps Pam's, "reasonable expec-
tation of privacy"
Government is failing spec-
tacularly at its core functions,
such as budgeting and educat-
ing. Yet, it continues to multiply
its peripheral and esoteric re-
sponsibilities, tasks that re-
quire it to do things for which it
has no aptitude, such as think-
ing and making common-sense
judgments. Government nowa-
days is not just embarrassing, it
is let us not mince words -
inappropriate.

Budget review
should be standard
I am not a Scott Adams sup-
porter, but in your editorial of
Sunday, March 3, you state
"County Administrator Brad
Thorpe has developed a plan
for systematically examining
where the county spends its
money" If he is just now or has
just recently decided to do
this, then I have to agree with
Scott Adams that he needs to
be fired. That should have
been standard fare forever, not
just recently
I doubt seriously the Chron-
icle will print this, as cover up
is your normal response. The
very least you can do is ex-
plain the statement made and
try to justify it or Brad
Thorpe.

Editor's note: The statement


in the editorial refers to the
series of regular budget work-
shops Brad Thorpe set in an-
ticipation of the budget
shortfall. During the work-
shops, which began in Janu-
ary, staff breaks the budget
down into smaller pieces to
explain where all the money is
being spent. This activity is de-
signed to give commissioners a
complete picture of the budget
so they can best vote on what
has to be cut out of the budget
once the actual budget for
2013-14 is written and ap-
proved in July The reason it is
so important this year has to
do with the loss of $8 million
this year due to the Progress
Energy decision to challenge
its tax bill and the estimated
loss of another $14 million
next year due to the shutdown
of the nuclear plant and the
notice from Progress Energy it
will once again challenge its
tax bill.

of interesting shades of blue,

know what you're thinking! I
might have deserved it, but
there were no matching bruises

She visited the ship's doctor,
X-rays were taken and the diag-
nosis was her foot was bruised.
There was soft tissue damage,
but no fracture. Nonetheless, the
doctor put her on "light duty" for
a few days. That meant one of
the things we had planned to do
should not be done.
The ship's itinerary after leav-
ing Panama was to continue
north along the Central Ameri-
can coast, then after two sea


days, we would make port at
Puntarenas in Costa Rica. My
sweetheart and I had planned
an all-day excursion there. We
were to begin with a train ride
into the jungle, go boating on
one of the rivers and hike
through the brush with a lengthy
motor coach ride before return-
ing some 10 hours later.
But based on the doctor's ad-
vice, we knew it was best not to
subject Cheryl to what would
have been a grueling day We
canceled our participation in
the tour.
Were we disappointed? Yes, of
course we were because we
wouldn't get to visit Costa Rica.


Did we consider ignoring the
doctor's advice? Yes, but only for
a moment. We knew we must put
aside this off-the-ship adventure.
Instead, we would suffer
through a delightful breakfast
via room service along with two
additional fabulous meals -
lunch and dinner in the main
dining room, as well as going to a
marvelous song and dance show
later that evening in the ship's
theater It was tough, but it was

Change tax refund rules
I was getting my taxes done the
other day, something most of us
don't enjoy A couple of ladies next

were only getting back $8,100 in a
refund and she had paid in $650 in
taxes. I'm sorry, but I just had to
say something which I won't re-
peat here.
Now, here's the problem as I see
it. If you don't pay it in, you can't
get it back. To my way of thinking
and many others, change the tax
law to "you can't get back anymore
than you paid in."
Like many people, I have
worked hard, saved and put money
back. However, I've never gotten
more back than I paid in. If we
stop this, we won't have a money
problem in this country for very

Our Social Security doesn't in-

MILITARY
Continued from Page C1

This book chronicles how a
group of military and civilian
thinkers started a revolution in
military strategy and prepara-
tion for counter-insurgency con-
flicts. They spent months going
through the historical records
and commentaries of these
smaller wars, including the
struggles for independence by
French and English colonies.
Leading the way in developing
COIN was General Petraeus,
who was first in his class at West
Point and recognized in the mil-
itary community as a rising star.
He was made director of the
Army's National War College
(Leavenworth, Kan.) at a time
when the Army's field manual
was set to be updated and re-
vised. Petraeus brought impor-
tant figures who had written on
counter-insurgency many of
whom he had met over the years.
Much of the book describes their
agreements and disputes. It
makes for surprisingly interest-
ing reading.


The first real challenge COIN
faced was the failure of the mil-
itary to bring order to Iraq after
Saddam Hussein's regime top-
pled. Secretary of Defense Don-
ald Rumsfeld had anticipated
the U.S. forces would unseat
Saddam and then quickly turn
Iraq over to whatever govern-
ment was established. But he,
and many of his advisers, failed
to anticipate the problems of
governance and the country fell
into what was for all practical
purposes a chaotic three-sided
civil war between the Shiites,
Kurds and Sunnis. Rumsfeld's
easy military victory rapidly
turned into a staggeringly ex-
pensive occupation.
At this point, three-quarters of
the way into the volume, the
reader senses a triumph for the
new strategy. However, COIN
theory met reality in Iraq.
Some military leaders stuck to
the idea that the U.S. should
simply shoot or imprison the bad
guys. They had no idea of how to
deal with the three quarreling
groups in the country who had
military clashes for more than a
century The Shiites won the
elections but proved to be more


interested in punishing the Sun-
nis and Kurds than trying to
build a stable society.
The tradition in Iraq was what-
ever group had control would
ruthlessly suppress its opponents.
The Shiite government saw the
Kurds and Sunnis as the enemy
rather than fellow citizens.
Some of the U.S. military com-
manders understood the new
doctrine and during the "surge"
coaxed the Sunni leaders into
conflict with the Islamic extrem-
ists such as al Qaeda in Iraq and
not with the Shiites. But the im-
provements under the COIN
doctrine eventually dissolved as
Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-
Maliki, a Shiite, returned to the
old policy of openly favoring his
followers and repressing his
opponents.
In Afghanistan, there was
some initial hope counter-insur-
gency could work. General Stan-
ley McChrystal of the notorious
Rolling Stone interview was an
advocate of COIN and had a long
friendship with Petraeus. But
after some initial successes,
Afghanistan began to fall apart.
COIN theory was rooted in the
assumption the central govern-


ment had control of the entire
country and the leader had an
interest in getting the various
ethnic groups to cooperate. Alas,
the Afghanistan government had
never had much control outside
of Kabul.
Hamid Karzai seemed only
concerned with protecting his
small group who were profiting
from foreign financial assis-
tance, which was being siphoned
off into the pockets of those
around Karzai. The U.S. Ambas-
sador in Kabul, Karl Eikenberry,
deeply distrusted President
Karzai and continually pushed
the portrait of Karzai as corrupt
and lacking much influence out-
side the capital.
The COIN policy simply didn't
fit the Afghanistan situation.
That was, in part, why Obama
was so ready to remove the
American military presence.
So, what we have in this illu-
minating volume is the story of a
bureaucratic struggle to adopt a
sophisticated counter-insur-
gency strategy because our pre-
vious military efforts in
less-developed countries were
inadequate. Although the reader
becomes sympathetic toward


the counter-insurgency advo-
cates, Kaplan does not step away
from the fact that a strategy
needing a strong indigenous
leadership with control of the
country's territory simply wasn't
there in many circumstances.
COIN is built on interesting
ideas but under the test of the real
world, it has so far been a disap-
pointing solution to an important
problem. This all strikes me as a
warning to Washington leader-
ship that using military force to
bring peace in Third World coun-
tries is more difficult- if not im-
possible and usually more
expensive than we anticipate.

COMMENTARY


SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2013 C3


Special to the Chronicle

The Crackers were
Florida's Plain Folks:
self-reliant, self-sufficient,
honest, practiced a sim-
ple direct approach to
people and problems, in-
dividualism, disdain for
authority, great strength
necessary for living in
isolation.
Crackers are an actual
cultural group who mi-
grated to our state start-
ing in 1821. Crackers
were drawn to Florida by
fertile public land where
wild hogs, cattle and great
fishing could be found in
abundance. They were
primarily of Scottish-
Irish descent.
Many choices for the
origin of the term Cracker
are: cracking whip (lariat
could not be used effec-
tively in dense Florida
scrub); sound of cracking
corn (their main food sta-
ple); hard tack (hard bis-
cuits) used by the settlers;
cracker-box houses. In
addition, dating from the
early 16th Century Eng-
land, Cracker meant
braggart or fast talker.
Take your pick.
In reality, Crackers
were a proud and capable
group of settlers who
tamed our wild but beau-
tiful land. They prevailed
against tropical diseases,
hurricanes, rattlers, cot-
tonmouth, gators, pan-
thers, mosquitoes that
blackened the land -
some described black
clouds of them.
Independence and
freedom of will were im-
portant to Crackers, ma-
terial possessions, not so
much. Everything was
made by hand, at home.
No retail therapy here.
An 1895 photo shows a
Cracker covered wagon: a
wooden-staved water
bucket; stoneware jar;
graniteware pan;
kerosene lantern; shot-
gun; wooden washtub;
chest of cloths. All of their
main possessions. They
truly lived a "make-do"
existence.
Crackers made soap
from lye, brooms from
sage straw, dishes from
wood, dresses from cotton
sacks, cut buttons from
gourds and wove hats
from palmetto. Meat was
preserved in a brine bar-
rel, clean the critter, toss





CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Hot Corner: SCOTT ADAMS


Conflict of interest
Just an FYI to all the Scott Adams
supporters: Neither the good-ol'-
boy system nor the Democrats vs.
the Republicans is the problem in
Citrus County. The old adage, "A lit-
tle knowledge is a dangerous thing,"
truly applies in this situation. The
grandstand to take a $5,000 cut in
pay was overshadowed by Mr.
Adams, who, in the next breath,
said there is nothing wrong in tak-
ing $1.2 million in revenue from Cit-
rus County to a private enterprise in
which he just happens to be a part-
ner. I don't know anyone who would-
n't be happy to take a minimal pay
cut and gain that much in revenue.
What happened to conflict of
interest?
Stop neglecting us
Good news is we now finally have
a commissioner, Scott Adams,
(who) is for the people, not bought
and paid for by special interests,
builders and developers. Yes, Com-
missioner Bays, you have hit the
nail on the head. For quite some
time now, the board has not looked
like serious professionals and not
listened to the people who elected
you. You all have feathered your own
nests and those of special interests,
neglecting the needs of our county.
Listen to us, Mr. Adams and his
supporters, and stop the 4-1 vote
against him at every turn. Scott,
keep up the good work. The citizens
of the county are for you.
Tired of same way
Don't worry, Scott Adams. There
are more elections coming and the
silent majority will get you some
help. We're tired of business the
same old way.
Try diplomacy
Scott Adams has some good
ideas and some valid questions. He
just needs to learn a little diplo-


macy in how to get into these
things.
Volunteer
We need more people like Scott
Adams. Citrus County, for way too
many years, has lived with a chain
conspiracy. It's time to change it.
We need our commissioners to be
volunteers (who) don't need to be
paid and we need to listen to peo-
ple, with experience like Scott
Adams.
Picking sides
When it comes to Scott Adams, it
would appear the Chronicle sides
with the board. And as we seem to
be finding out, the board has prob-
lems. Scott Adams is a breath of
fresh air.
Looking for open answers
On Monday, March 4, a caller
called in about Scott Adams should
present some of his ideas on how
to cut the budget. He did do that at
the last meeting. I think he pre-
sented 10 or 12 different areas
where monies could be cut and no-
body was interested. Secondly, I
don't think a lot of people realize
the Board of County Commission-
ers cannot discuss things in private
because of the Sunshine Laws. Any-
thing that is a possibility they might
vote on or talk about or come off at
a future meeting cannot be dis-
cussed in private. It must only be
discussed in public. The Sunshine
Laws are really specific to that. So a
lot of things that come up at the
meetings have to come up there be-
cause they can't come up in a office
discussion among the five county
commissioners. It violates the Sun-
shine Laws. So keep that in mind
when you're critical of what they're
doing, because a lot of things can't
be done any other way but that.
And Scott Adams is asking ques-
tions every taxpayer should be
wanting an answer to because we


don't get them and haven't gotten
them for several years.
Fight the port
I think Scott Adams is doing an
excellent job. It makes the other
county commissioners sit up and
pay attention. This county needs
some tax reductions and the county
commissioners (who) are in there,
all they want to do is spend our
money. And I think Scott should
fight the port from being built.
They've gotten to waste the taxpay-
ers' money and it's time we stop
them.
Investigate use of time
I think I have a simple solution for
the county commissioners. The first
impression I got after attending the
Citrus County Citizens Academy
was we are definitely overstaffed at
that headquarters level in the
county, exactly like our new com-
missioner, Adams, has said. He and
I would agree 100 percent on
staffing overhead, big money. If you
can admit to the fact that we've got
a county administrator (who) needs
two assistants ... in the meantime, I
would suggest maybe some of
those commissioners should spend
a day or two following one of these
senior office positions around and
see how much work and time and
everything is being wasted. I think
it's terrible.
Keep it in the public
Well, I read in the paper this
morning, "Please keep it behind
closed doors." That's what they've
been doing all this time. They kept
the taxpayers from knowing what's
going on. Are people crazy? Who-
ever called that (Sound Off titled
"Squabble elsewhere") in sure is. I
think the taxpayer has a right to
know what's going on. Hooray for
Scott Adams. We need more like
him. Boy, this "behind closed
doors" is crazy.


Setting bad
example
For months, as we've
read of the hospital and
BOCC battles, I've wanted
to tell those in conflict to
"grow up."
We are bombarded with
almost daily headlines
that "air the dirty linen" of
the BOCC. People, there
are ways to accomplish
goals without constant ha-
ranguing
It would seem the art of
compromise is a thing of
the past I fear it's a ram-
pant virus for which no
cure has been found. Peo-
ple in places of leadership
seem to be particularly
vulnerable to this disease.
It's evident in our nation's
government and has some-
how infected state and
local government as well.
Lo and behold, we even
find it occasionally in
some of our churches.
I, for one, am saddened
by the lack of respect that
seems to underlie all of
these situations.
I can only imagine the
effect these reports must
have on people who are
considering Citrus County
as a place to call home.


We're trying to improve
our economic future not
scare potential residents
and businesses away Of
more concern, has anyone
stopped to think for even a
minute about the example
the leaders of our county
and Citrus Memorial are
setting for the young peo-
ple in Citrus County?
We tried to teach our
own children to play
nicely with each other in
the sandbox, to be polite,
to respect their elders and
each other, to try to work
out their differences with-
out saying mean things to
one another, and most of
all to take time to listen to
other opinions.
I don't pretend to have
answers to the problems
before us. I don't even fully
understand what many of
the conflicts are really
about or if the issues are
truly valid. I'm simply ask-
ing those involved take the
time to listen to each other
- really listen with re-
spect and open minds, and
hearts that are open to
recognize an agenda other
than their own.

Does workplace wellness save companies money?


Associated Press
WASHINGTON Your
bosses want you to eat your
broccoli, hit the treadmill and
pledge you will never puff on a
cigarette. But a new study
raises doubts that workplace
wellness programs save the
company money
In what's being called the
most rigorous look yet inside
the wellness trend, independ-
ent researchers tracked the
program at a major St. Louis
hospital system for two years.
Hospitalizations for employ-
ees and family members
dropped dramatically, by 41
percent overall for six major
conditions. But increased out-
patient costs erased those
savings.
The study in Monday's issue
of the journal Health Affairs
has implications for a debate
taking place at companies
around the country: how much
pressure can you put on work-
ers to quit smoking, lose
weight, and get exercise before
it turns into unwelcome med-
dling, or worse, a slippery
slope toward a new kind of
health discrimination?
Wellness programs started
out offering gym memberships
and modest cash rewards for
participating in a health as-
sessment focused on changing
bad habits. But employers
have been upping the ante,
linking the programs to insur-
ance discounts or penalties
that can add up to hundreds of
dollars.
Most major companies now


When you make an investment in
wellness and prevention, you
shouldn't expect an immediate
return.
Steven Lipstein
present of BJC HealthCare, a hospital system.


have wellness programs, and
smaller firms are signing up.
President Barack Obama's
health care overhaul law al-
lows employers to expand re-
wards and penalties, provided
workers are also given a path
to address lifestyle issues that
could undermine their health.
"The immediate payback in
terms of cost is probably not
going to be there," said econo-
mist Gautam Gowrisankaran
of the University of Arizona at
Tucson, lead author of the
study
But he noted there could be
other benefits not directly
measured in the study, such as
reduced absenteeism and
higher productivity.
And there's also a risk.
"It's definitely true that
there is a downside,"
Gowrisankaran said. "You are
going to be charging people
different rates based on their
wellness behavior, and that
could limit their ability to buy
health insurance."
Obama's law forbids insur-
ers from charging more if you
get sick. But wellness incen-
tives could mean you'd be pe-
nalized for the questionable


choices that might get you sick.
Some previous studies have
shown savings from wellness
programs, while others found
little change or even higher
spending.
Steven Noeldner, an expert
with the Mercer benefits con-
sulting firm, said well-
designed programs generally
show a positive return of
2 percent by the third year
Gary Claxton of the Kaiser
Family Foundation, which pro-
duces a widely-cited annual
survey of workplace health
plans, said the financial im-
pact is difficult to measure.
'"A lot of employers think it's
the right thing to do and
they're not so much interested
in measuring," Claxton said.
The new study provides an
in-depth look at the experi-
ence of BJC HealthCare, a hos-
pital system that in 2005
started a comprehensive pro-
gram linked to insurance dis-
counts. BJC employs 28,000
people and provides health in-
surance for 40,000, including
family members. The over-
whelming majority partici-
pated in the wellness program.
The program focused on six


lifestyle-influenced condi-
tions: high blood pressure, di-
abetes, heart disease, chronic
lung problems, serious respi-
ratory infections and stroke.
Employees had to join the pro-
gram to get the hospital's most
generous level of health insur-
ance, called the Gold Plan. For
family coverage, for example,
the hospital paid nearly $1,650
more of costs in the Gold Plan.
Employees in the wellness
program had to complete a
health risk assessment that in-
cluded height, weight, blood
pressure, cholesterol, blood
sugar and other measure-
ments. They also signed a
pledge to maintain a healthy
diet and exercise regularly.
Smokers had to get help to
quit. Spouses were also re-
quired to sign the health
pledge and, if they smoked, get
help.
The study tallied up BJC's
medical costs before the well-
ness program and for two
years after It also compared
those costs with expenses of
two other big local employers
that did not have wellness pro-
grams. That was done to con-
trol for the possible impact of
new drugs or medical
innovations.
The results were counter-in-
tuitive: A surprisingly large
drop in hospitalizations for the
six conditions targeted by the
wellness program, but in-
creased costs for medications
and outpatient visits. When
those were added to the cost of

Dear Bruce: I am
66, single and re-

$2,000-a-month pension.
I am not Social Security

about $300,000 invested

and other than a little
arthritis, I'm healthy
I own my home out-
right, with about $2,000

valued anywhere from
$150,000 to $190,000 in
this small town. I have
no debt of any kind and
live well within my
means. My car is a 2012
model, and I owe noth-
ing on it. I covered my
final expenses years ago
and carry a small life in-
surance policy fully paid
up through my federal
employment. I think I
have my bases covered.
My lovely 1950s home
has three bedrooms
and a fairly large yard.
It's in a good neighbor-
hood. I want a smaller,
single-level home with
a garage, preferably not
a condo. A newer,
smaller house would
cost more than my cur-
rent house; even
though some of the up-
keep would be less,
taxes and insurance
would be the same. I do
not want to enter into a

my age and income.
Is there something

down to quality of life. I
am not ready to rent or

I really have no one to
bounce this off of, so I
hope you can give me
some ideas. My three

Effects of sequestration on Workforce Connection


In recent days, we
have been asked
to detail exactly
how big a bite the se-
questration might take
out of local services
available for job seek-
ers and employers. /
The short and honest f .
answer is, at this point,
we do not know when, Laura
where or if the se- WORK
quester axe will fall or CONNI
how much it will lop
off.
Here's what we do know.
Workforce Connection is part
of Florida's network of 24 re-
gional workforce boards. Total
money amount from all federal
funding streams for workforce
services amounts to $324,900,122
for this fiscal year, which ends
June 30.
Without delving too deep into
the weeds or getting all wonky,
this reflects workforce system
funding from multiple programs
for employment and training
services delivered to Florida em-
ployers, workers and job seekers.
Those programs include the
Workforce Investment Act, Tem-
porary Assistance for Needy Fam-
ilies, Wagner-Peyser, Veterans and
Supplemental Nutrition Assis-
tance Program. Re-employment


Byrnes
FORCE
SECTION


Assistance, more uni-
versally known as Un-
emplo y ment
Compensation, is also
included in the tally,
but administration and
oversight of the pro-
gram is handled by the
Florida Department of
Economic Opportu-
nity, not Workforce
Connection or any of
the other regional
workforce boards.


Earlier this week, in
this paper, you read "Florida will
lose about $2.3 million in funding
for job search assistance, referral
and placement, meaning around
78,960 fewer people will get the
help and skills they need to find
employment."
That is the direct quote from a
fact sheet released by the White
House which enumerated other
potential funding hits to the state.
While we are concerned about
potential cuts to funding fund-
ing which provides services that
contribute to the economic vital-
ity of our community it is prob-
ably premature to declare the sky
is falling.
More important, if you are af-
fected by the sequestration,
please know Workforce Connec-
tion stands ready to assist you.


Services provided at no charge
throughout the three-county re-
gion of Citrus, Levy and Marion
counties, include:
Presentations to affected
workers explaining workforce
services.
Assistance to displaced
workers in filing Re-employment
Assistance Claims (Unemploy-
ment Compensation).
Direct job referral and place-
ment services.
Job Fairs and other special
employment events.
Access to mobile One-Stop
Career Centers.
Referral to community agen-
cies for supportive services.
Information on training op-
portunities for new positions or
careers.
These year-round services ben-
efit employers and affected work-
ers and will continue. For
example, on March 27 we are
holding a job fair in partnership
with the College of Central
Florida at CF's Learning and
Conference Center in Lecanto.
Fbr employers, the job fair is an
efficient, effective way to meet
and conduct an initial screening
of job applicants, share informa-
tion about their company and
open positions, and schedule in-
terviews. It is no cost to them.


And, as always, employers re-
ceive Workforce Connection's lo-
gistical and staff support
For job seekers, the merits of
having a diverse group of local
employers in one place at one
time are obvious.
With today's electronic appli-
cation process, how many times
have you felt you have been elim-
inated without being given a
chance because your application
is prescreened? How many times
have you said, "If only I could get
an interview, if they could get to
know me, I know I can land the
job?"
Well, here's your chance to
meet with actual hiring man-
agers, make the kind of impres-
sion that could get the
all-important foot in the door
Toward that end, we can help
you get ready for the job fair or in-
terview, too. This month, we are
offering more than 70 workshops
throughout the region, with many
in Inverness, Beverly Hills, Crys-
tal River, Homosassa and
Lecanto. The workshops range
from computer basics and open
resume labs to two- and three-day
sessions designed to help job
seekers stand out from the crowd.
In addition, our trained place-
ment specialists can offer one-on-
one consultations, and suggest


ways to polish resumes and prep
for interviews as well as suggest
skills and aptitude assessments to
guide you to training programs,
internships, on-the-job training
or job referrals. Of course, you
will be plugged into the power of
the Employ Florida Marketplace,
a one-stop online resource for job
listings, education and training
opportunities, career building as-
sistance and more. EFM is used
by Workforce Connection to con-
nect you to employers in our own
region as well as statewide.
To recap, no one is happy about
the sequestration, but right now
we have to wait and see how per-
vasive and deep the cuts go. In
the meantime, it is business as
usual for Workforce Connection,
and that business is helping em-
ployers find, train and retain top
talent and helping job seekers en-
hance their employability skills
and connecting them with em-
ployers.

Now that we have all
had a few days to
rest up from the
weekend's activities, I just
wanted say: What a great
weekend we had in Floral
City!
Thanks to all of our hard-
working volunteers from the
Floral City Merchants Asso-
ciation, the Friends of the
Floral City Library, the Flo-
ral City Garden Club, the Cit-
rus County Agricultural
Alliance and Citrus County
Chamber of Commerce. I
think we put on a great show
for all of our visitors this
weekend.
The Berries, Brew and BBQ
kickoff partywas a great suc-


cess. Bill "The Sauce Boss"
Wharton put on a great show.
Leon and the guys at the Ag
Alliance cooked up some
killer food for the event too!
Many thanks to all the vol-
unteers who helped set up,
assisted during the event and
stayed to help clean up. Thanks
especially to Dave and Terri
Hartman for providing the
tents, chairs, sound and
lights for the performance.
The FCMA "Hospitality
Tent" we set up at the Straw-
berry Festival was a big hit.
Thanks to all the folks who
volunteered their time to
chat with the guests about
Floral City and keep the ta-
bles neat and clean. Thanks


to the Garden Club for the
charming decorations on the
tables and once again, thanks
to Dave and Terri for provid-
ing the tent and chairs.


I saw a lot of nice interaction
between our guests and our
volunteers at the hospitality
tent. I think we all showed a
lot of genuine enthusiasm

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Business DIGEST


Public relations group
focuses on web design
Getting down to the nitty-gritty of
web design was the focus of the Na-
ture Coast chapter of the Florida
Public Relations Association's
monthly meeting in March.
The program featured guest
speaker Steve Tallman from Nature
Coast Web Design. Steve has a
commercial art and electronic graph-
ics design background and focused
his discussions on technical informa-
tion, content and web page design.
'You must make your web page
user focused," Tallman said. "Google
is looking for good content that makes
you the subject matter expert."
He explained Google also looks
for the trust factor on a web page,
including information such as a tele-
phone number and address. Busi-
nesses have to continually change
their web page with updated infor-
mation to engage the page visitors
so they spend more than the aver-
age seven seconds looking at the
materials, he said. Web pages must
have clear and concise headers,
and links must be relevant to the
business.
"Hire someone who knows what
they're doing designing web pages
so that you can successfully engage
and attract visitors to your business,"
Tallman said.
During lunch, FPRA and industry
professionals from around Florida
provided advanced quality educa-
tional programming for the member-
ship. Subject matter included:
business and marketing communi-
cations, crisis communications, pub-
lic relations ethics, emergency
communications planning, or suc-
cessful media strategy and commu-
nications. These kinds of education
programs would cost serious dollars
in this economy, but are available to
the membership for the price of the
luncheon. The monthly chapter
meetings are held at the Citrus Hills


Featuring Web design


Special to the unronicle
Steve Tallman from Nature Coast Web Design was the featured
speaker at the Nature Coast chapter of the Florida Public Relations
Association's meeting. He discussed technical information, content
and web page design.

Hernando pharmacist
to fight Parkinson's
Citrus County pharmacist Richard
Hoffmann is bringing his personal
passion for Parkinson's research
and his professional expertise to a
new role as a consumer representa-


tive on a commit-
tee of the U.S.
Food and Drug
Administration. In
his role on the Pe-
ripheral and Cen-
tral Nervous
System Drugs Ad-
visory Committee, Richard
Hoffmann will Hoffman
evaluate potential
new drugs to treat the neurological
disorders affecting millions of peo-
ple, including his wife, Margaret.
Hoffmann was selected based
upon his experience as a pharmacist
and medical writer and his volunteer
work as a trained research advocate
with the Parkinson's Disease Foun-
dation (PDF). He has been active in
the Parkinson's disease cause since
Margaret was diagnosed with young
onset Parkinson's disease five years
ago. Last year, the couple underwent
training to join PDF's Parkinson's Ad-
vocates in Research (PAIR) pro-
gram, which aims to speed new
treatments by pairing people with
Parkinson's and care partners with
the research community. They spent
the past year educating their com-
munity about Parkinson's disease re-
search studies.
Hoffmann said it is an opportunity
to ensure the voices of people with
Parkinson's disease and their loved
ones are heard by the research
community.
"I understand all too well from our
family's experience the need for bet-
ter treatments for neurological dis-
eases. My goal is to be a protector
of the consumer and the liaison for
people who live with neurological
diseases such as Parkinson's dis-
ease," Hoffmann said. "I will repre-
sent their viewpoint and their
urgency, while ensuring that poten-
tial new drugs being reviewed are
not only effective, but safe."
Dr. Hoffmann's four-year term with
the 11-member committee began in
February.


SECO annual meeting
Saturday, March 23
SUMTERVILLE Sumter Elec-
tric Cooperative will conduct its an-
nual membership meeting Saturday,
March 23, on the grounds of the Co-
op's headquarters compound in
Sumterville.
"This year SECO marks its 75th
Anniversary," SECO CEO Jim Dun-
can said. "Our annual meeting is at-
tended by many members from all
across our service territory and is al-
ways a great event. The fact that
this year commemorates our 75th
year of service to our customers and
communities makes this meeting
very special."
Those attending will be treated to
refreshments and entertainment fea-
turing Margo Rochelle & Rodeo
Drive. In SECO's 75th anniversary
celebration tent, members will see a
wide range of displays showcasing
new customer programs for 2013.
They also will be given the knowl-
edge to conserve energy and iden-
tify scams.
Each registered member receives
a gift and is eligible for the big raffle
at the end of the business meeting.
Top prizes include a refurbished 4x4
extended cab Dodge Dakota pick-up
truck and cash awards of $1,500,
$1,000 and $500.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.
and continues until the business
meeting at 10:30 a.m.
"The annual meeting is one of the
things that distinguishes electric co-
operatives from other types of utili-
ties. Aside from having a lot of fun
and learning more about their Co-
op, members get to nteract one-on-
one with the employees who work
on their behalf all through the year,"
Duncan said.
SECO is a member-owned, not-
for-profit utility serving 176,000 mem-
bers and their families in parts of
Marion, Lake, Citrus, Sumter, Pasco,
Hernando, and Levy counties.

So what? You reduced

Your $2,000 monthly in-

You also might want to

Dear R.N.: I think it is

wife on this one. If you
don't at the very least post

could be accused of oper-

Dear Reader: You men-

problem with that in terms
of fraud. But you should

is very clear and specific,

were to get into financial
trouble, such as an auto-
mobile accident, and did-
n't have enough insurance,
the asset your home -


could be attached.
In addition, if either of
you wind up going into a
nursing home and attempt
to be covered by Medicaid,
the state will have a right
to move against your home
upon your demise if this
transaction took place in-
side the "look-back" pe-

Attention Consum-
ers!
Please make sure you
are using a licensed
and insured service
professional. Many
service advertisers
are required by state
law to include their
state
license number in all
advertisements. If
you don't see a li-
cense number in the
ad, you should inquire
about it and be suspi-
cious that you may be
contacting an unli-
censed
business. The Citrus
County Chronicle
wants to ensure that
our ads meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Beware of any service
advertiser that can not
provide proof that
they are licensed to do
business. For ques-
tions about business
licensing, please call
your city or county
government offices.

early, with three Jane

in November JAN
followed by a GAR
warm Decem-
ber with only two frosty
mornings. Plants had their
necessary chill hours and
seemed to think winter
was over early We had
some good rains over the
winter, too. Many plants
continued green and grow-

hit in mid-February Some
tender new weed
seedlings in the lawn and
flower beds were killed by
February's freezes.
Carolina Jessamine
bloomed spectacularly in
January Some Redbud
trees and native plums
bloomed early in mid-Jan-

early January were frozen

to bloom into
March and is
setting fruit
again.
The High-

Weber only 45 chill
hours (under 35

DEN they were in
bloom in Febru-
ary but had not started to
set fruit. Rabbiteye Blue-
berries need more chill
hours, so they did not bud
up until late February
Frost is still a possibility
until mid-March.
The Camellias and Azal-

when the February freeze
hit. Petals and plump buds
were frozen. The types
that only flower for three
to four weeks had few buds
left to bloom in late Febru-

after 10 days to two weeks.

Dear Sara: I purchased an enor-
mous amount of used baby clothing
from a friend. All of it is brand-
name and the vast majority of it was
very well-kept; however, there are a
few pieces that have stains, which I
would like to get out. I have no idea
what most of these stains are. So,
what are your best tricks for remov-
ing stains from baby or children's


clothing? -M.K, Canada
Dear M.K: Try using either a bar
of Fels-Naptha or applying a mix-
ture of Dawn dishwashing liquid
and a tablespoon of ammonia. Rub
gently and rinse. Or soak the cloth-
ing overnight in a big bucket of hot
water with 1/2 cup of powdered Cas-
cade and 1/2 cup of Clorox 2 (or use
just OxiClean), then launder as
usual. You can also use a mixture of
Dawn dishwashing liquid, hydrogen
peroxide and baking soda. Apply
the mixture to the stains, let it set
and scrub with a toothbrush. Laun-
der as usual. Place the garment out-
side in the sun, too. It works as a
natural bleach.
Dear Sara: Pulverizing spices


and herbs? I used my electric mini-
chopper to make celery powder and
celery flakes from dehydrated cel-
ery (Basically, what was left after I
strained the powder off was what I
called "flakes" and will use for
soups, etc.) It worked OK, but it took
a good while to do it What kind of
gadget can I use to make celery,
onions, dried garlic and bell pep-
pers into powder without so many
"re-dos"? S.P, Louisiana
Dear S.E: I'd use a mortar and
pestle, a pepper mill or a coffee
grinder. In some cases, such as for
cinnamon, you can use a
microplane.

Maintaining Washington's famous cherry trees


S. 7... ]| Gift from Japan poses unique issues


LEE REICH
Associated Press

In many parts of the country, you
don't have to look far to see cherry
trees in bloom in coming weeks.
Still, more than half a million visi-
tors annually embark on a spring
pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., to
see the ones there.
Besides sheer profusion, those
cherries have history They were a
gift from Japan as thanks for our
help during the Russo-Japanese
War of 1905. Howard Taft was secre-
tary of war then; he was president
when the first cherry tree was low-


ered into the ground in 1912 by his
wife, Helen.
Aging trees
Alas, no tree lives forever, and
those original cherries have been
succumbing to age despite efforts to
coddle them along. It wouldn't seem
right to stick just any old cherry
trees into the ground to replace
those that fail. After all, these par-
ticular trees symbolize a bond with
Japan and have stood witness to his-
tory Besides, there are a number of
different cherry species and


See CHERRIES/Page E13

In this March 18, 2012, file photo, cherry blossom trees are in bloom around the Tidal Basin, with
the Jefferson Memorial in the background in Washington. The cherry blossoms draw about
1 million visitors each spring. This year marks the 101st anniversary of the gift of trees
from Japan.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


'Ivy


With skillful use oflighting you can


bring a little bit of indoor comfort to the outdoors


MELISSA RAYWORTH
Associated Press

any Americans have embraced
outdoor decorating, filling their
yards with fluffy sofas, gleaming
end tables and even outdoor rugs.
But what happens when the sun goes
down?
Chris Lambton, landscape designer
and host of HGTV's "Going Yard," ad-
vises his clients to give as much thought
to the lighting of their outdoor space as
they do to the furnishings.
Forget yesterday's glaring porch light,
he says. You can now choose from a
wide range of much subtler lighting op-


tions. Many are inexpensive and stylish
enough to quickly turn a basic patio into
a chic entertaining space.
Here Lambton and two other outdoor
decorating experts Los Angeles-
based designers Jeff Andrews and Brian
Patrick Flynn offer advice on the
newest, most attractive and safest op-
tions for outdoor lighting.
Indulge your indoor style
Many indoor furniture designs and
fabrics are now available as outdoor
items, Lambton says, and the same goes
for lighting. Companies are creating out-
door versions of their most popular in-
door lamps and fixtures.


Flynn is a fan of outdoor chandeliers
on patios or decks that are covered:
"They're an excellent way to make any
humdrum outdoor space feel like an ac-
tual room."
But, he says, choose wisely: "To get
them right, you've got to take scale and
proportion into consideration. Install
one that's too small, and it will look like
an afterthought. Install one that's too
big or hangs too low, and it will com-
pletely overwhelm the space."
Flynn also recommends using floor
lamps and table lamps designed for out-
door use. Prices vary widely (from more
than $1,000 to less than $100), so he sug-
gests hunting online for deals and the


perfect style.
Another option: Create your own out-
door fixture. Many electricians can
rewire your favorite indoor lighting to
be safely used outside, Lambton says.
"Search for whatever fixture you like,"
he says, "then put an outdoor conduit in
and attach it to a switch."
Go vintage
"Vintage is always a key to good light-
ing," Andrews says, "indoors and out-
doors."
"Recently I got these really cool, inex-
pensive Moroccan lanterns" with a vin-

LIGHT
Continued from Page E8

tage look. Rather than simply
displaying them on a table,
he hung them from outdoor
branches. "I had them wired
for outside and hid the wires
in the trees," he explains.
When the vintage lanterns
glow from the tree branches
at night, it gives the yard a
"romantic and kind of Euro-
pean feel."
Forget the flood light
Rather than one or two
bright porch lights, all three
designers suggest using a va-
riety of softer lights.
Lambton has used faux
stone blocks with LED lights
hidden inside, alongside tra-
ditional lighting. Flynn has
done the same with illumi-
nated planters.
"Sneaking in ambient light
in unexpected ways is some-
thing I love to do," Flynn
says. "In Los Angeles, I
turned the middle of a fam-
ily's Los Feliz back yard into
a full-fledged family room,
comfy sectional sofa and all.
To bring light to the space, I
used modern, plastic
planters that light up. They
have cords on the back of
them, and connect to exte-
rior outlets. Once turned on,
a light bulb inside the trans-
parent plastic illuminates
and the entire area glows
softly This is so genius be-


cause it requires no electri-
cian whatsoever."
Even simpler options: thin
strips of lights that can be at-
tached along the underside
of deck railings, or strands of
lights in the shape of every-
thing from simple bulbs to
stars, hearts or jalapeno pep-
pers strung overhead.
No matter which style of
light you choose, Andrews
says, add dimmers to your
outdoor light switches.
"Everything in the world," he
says, "needs to be on a
dimmer."
Beyond the backyard
Don't forget to light the far
reaches of your yard,
Lambton says. It will make
your property feel bigger
and banish the feeling of
being enveloped by dark-
ness when you entertain
outside.
It costs little to place a few
small, solar-powered lights at
the bases of trees and
shrubs. He also suggests at-
taching a few to tree
branches. "And I love to up-
light ornamental grasses,"
Lambton says. "It adds nice
depth to the yard."
Don't forget the fire
Fire pits of all sizes -
from huge outdoor fireplaces
to small tabletop containers
- provide golden, flickering
light for your outdoor space.
Display a collection of pil-
lar candles in varying sizes
(battery-powered or real), ei-


their clustered on their own
or tucked inside large, glass
lanterns to "add a bit of
sparkle" to your yard, An-
drews says.
Or create an outdoor chan-
delier with candles: "I tend
to try my hand at rustic do-it-
yourself ideas," Flynn says.
"In my own outdoor dining
room, I suspended a cande-
labra made from reclaimed
pine planks, rope, mason jars
and tea lights above the din-
ing table. When my family
comes over for pizza night, it
creates the perfect
ambience."
Safety and beauty
Home improvement stores
and websites offer a huge
array of options for lighting
outdoor pathways and deck
stairs, adding beauty while
making your space safer
And what about the safety
of leaving lighting out in all
weather? If it's outdoor-
rated, Andrews says, it
should be fine. But keep your
climate in mind.
Flynn prefers not to leave
"most lighting sources out
year-round unless an out-
door space is covered," he
says. "The only type of light-
ing I'm worry-free about for
the outdoors is festival-style
string lights. They're pretty
much the same thing as holi-
day twinkle lights. My fa-
vorite styles are strands with
mini-lanterns; they really
help light the perimeter of a
space."

How to decorate


a rental space


JANE
Continued from Page E4

Leaves that froze were
also shed. New leaves that
had sprouted early froze,
too, but were soon
replaced.
Too bad the freeze did
not kill the nests of tent
caterpillars in the cherry,
plum and birch trees.
Reach up, poke a hole in
the web and spray the
moth caterpillars with
contact insecticide like
Raid. The nests are easy to
see before the trees fully
leaf out. A systemic insec-
ticide containing bifen-
thrin will enter leaves and
poison insects and cater-
pillars that chew plant
leaves. Do not use it on
food crops that will be
eaten within six to eight
weeks. Read and follow all
label directions.
Bifenthrin is a broad-
spectrum insecticide. It


comes in a thick, creamy
concentrate from agricul-
tural wholesalers such as
John Deere Landscapes,
who carry name brands
and less-expensive
generic brands. It kills in-
sects on contact
Spray under the leaves
where scale insects live on
Sagos, Coonties, Camellias,
Magnolias, etc. Bifenthrin
enters plant leaves and kills
insects when they suck or
chew and ingest the chemi-
cal insecticide. Bifenthrin is
residual, so it lasts from six
to eight weeks.
The giant, multi-colored
Lubber Grasshopper lays
its eggs in the ground.
Young hatch and emerge
usually about the first of
April. I suspect they will
emerge in March this
spring. Dozens of little
black grasshoppers, a
quarter- to a half-inch in
size with a yellow to or-
ange stripe on the back
will congregate on a single
branch early in the morn-


ing after hatching.
Stroll the garden early to
find these hatchlings. Take
a spray can of insecticide
or a pump-up tank of di-
luted bifenthrin (a quarter-
to a half-ounce in a gallon
of water). Slowly sneak up
on the resting grasshop-
pers and spray upward
from underneath. The
black pests will hop off in
all directions through the
spray Enough poison will
coat their bodies and
breathing holes to kill the
little buggers. You can
stomp on stray escapees.
Lubbers feast on all
lilies. Spray lilies,
Crinums, Agapanthus, Day
Lilies, Amaryllis, etc. with
bifenthrin before juvenile
grasshoppers hatch. One
meal is enough to kill the


small grasshoppers.
Do not spray any butter-
fly caterpillar host plants or
plants where bees, butter-
flies, hummingbirds or
other pollinators gather
pollen or nectar. Many
homeowners hire licenced
professionals to apply
chemical. DYI tip: more is
not better in the case of gar-
den chemicals. Read and
follow label instructions.

It's yours, but it isn't. A
rented apartment or
house can be a wonderful
place to live, and a chal-

The restrictions are
many: Landlords often
want their white walls to
stay white. Many won't let
you do even the most
minor construction. Some

CHERRIES
Continued from Page E5

varieties not even all pink-flowered,
or double-flowered or weeping cher-
ries are the same.
The 3,000 or so trees sent as a gift in
1912 were mostly Yoshino cherry trees.
Yoshinos are hybrids of unknown
parentage, and come in a number of
varieties, among them those with pink
flowers and upright habit (Afterglow),
white flowers and weeping habit (Pen-
dula), and diminutive size and weeping
habit (Shidare Yoshino).
The earliest replacements for ailing
trees around the Tidal Basin were made
in the 1930s and were of a Yoshino vari-
ety called Akebono ("Daybreak"), which
has double, pink flowers.
The cloning solution
In recent years, efforts were made to
replace ailing trees with genetic repli-
cas of the originals. Such trees would
be exactly the same as the originals,
only younger. Genetic replicas are cre-
ated by cloning, which involves taking
cuttings from the original trees and
rooting them to make whole new ones.
Rooting cuttings from an 80-year-old
tree is not easy, because cuttings gen-
erally root most readily from so-called
juvenile wood. Where do you find ju-
venile wood on an 80-year-old plant? In
sprouts near the base, the original part
of the plant.
Since not all of the original Yoshino
cherries were identical, efforts have
also been made to "fingerprint" them,
using their DNA to better identify and
differentiate them. The greater the ge-
netic diversity that is found the better,

Kwanzan is perhaps
the most famous
variety of Japanese
cherry.

because a narrow gene pool makes any
planting more likely to be wiped out by
pest problems.
Some of those original cherries are
not even Yoshinos but so-called Japan-
ese cherries, another species with a
similar range in varietal characteris-
tics. Kwanzan is perhaps the most fa-
mous variety of Japanese cherry
A better cherry?
A few other ornamental cherry
species exist, and the one I'd plant
would be Higan cherry Unfortunately,
Higan is not counted among those
trees originally set in the ground
around Washington's Tidal Basin.
While cherries generally are suscepti-
ble to a number of insects and dis-
eases, Higan is one of the most
pest-resistant. It is also longer lived,
faster growing, and more tolerant of
heat and cold than the others.
Higan cherry's qualities do not sacri-
fice beauty. Like other ornamental
cherries, Higan varieties show a range
of ornamental characteristics. For in-
stance, the variety Whitcomb has hori-
zontal, spreading limbs that each spring
are dotted with pink buds that unfold
into almost white blossoms. Pendula is
a variety offering very early, single pink
blossoms on weeping stems. Autum-
nalis is truly unique, not for its semi-
double pink blossoms that unfold in
spring, but because it often puts on a re-
peat performance in autumn.


RENTAL
Continued from Page E10

nail anything to the walls.
Complicating things further, many rental
properties have small rooms and no-frills,
builder-grade light fixtures, doors and cab-
inetry with little personality.
How can you inject some of your per-
sonality into a rented space without en-
raging your landlord?
The first step is to go all in.
"So often people think of their rental as
not theirs, and therefore go through life
not creating a beautiful home or nest,"
says designer Kyle Schuneman, author of
"The First Apartment Book: Cool Design
for Small Spaces" (Potter Style, 2012). "Life
is too short to not create a sanctuary that
represents your unique vision."
Home decorating blogger Wanda Hoffs
gives the same advice to her readers at
recreateanddecorate.com. As an Army
wife, Hoffs has lived in many rental prop-
erties around the country and has learned
to decorate each one as if it were truly
hers.
Here are five ideas from Hoffs and
Schuneman that can help you embrace
your rented space.
Plan carefully
"Usually rentals are small, and I am a
firm believer in function before form,"
Schuneman says. "Sometimes it's a puzzle
piece to get those 'must haves' into your
space the desk, the bed, the couch."
He suggests using old items in new ways:
Does the desk become a footboard?
Should a small bookcase from your old liv-
ing room be tucked into the corner of your
new kitchen?
If your current furniture doesn't fit well
into a rental, Hoffs suggests spending
wisely on new items. Rather than buying
an expensive new piece that fits your
rental perfectly, "use thrift store furniture
and paint it yourself," she says.
Used furniture can be "so inexpensive
that you can sell it at a yard sale if need
be" when you decide to move out of the
rental. "It's not about where you buy it,"
Hoffs likes to tell her blog audience. "It's
how you use it."
No paint
"Wallpaper used to be only for the home-
owner crowd," Schuneman says, "but now
with companies like Tempaper, you can
put up temporary wallpaper that peels on
and peels back off when you're ready to
move."
Hoffs suggests using wall decals, which
now come in a huge range of styles and
sizes, or even duct tape.
"It comes in many great colors and pat-


terns," she says, "and can be used on a wall
in many different patterns, such as the
trending chevron pattern, stripes, or even
to create a border around a wall grouping."
If you want to do just a bit of painting
that could be easily repainted before you
move out, Hoffs and Schuneman both sug-
gest painting a stenciled design on one
wall. Or paint a band of bold color along
the top of your walls.
To make the eventual repainting easier,
Hoffs says, "always know the original color
and brand of paint."
Infuse with color
"If you're afraid to touch your walls or
have a really difficult landlord," Schune-
man says, "bring in the color through fab-
rics and textures around the room. If you
leave your walls white, hang a bold curtain
on the windows and a coordinating couch
that really pops."
Hoffs agrees: "Fabric can be a great, in-
expensive way to add color, pattern and
texture to a room. It can be framed or sta-
pled to a large art canvas to be hung on the
walls," to add a burst of color. You can also
attach fabric temporarily to a wall using
spray starch.
Lush plants are another option: "Bring
in plants to add life, color and to warm up
your home," Hoffs says. Even if you're not
a gardening expert, "there are many low-
maintenance ones for those who do not
have a green thumb." When it's time to
move, they're easy to take with you.
The floor is your wall
"Your floors are a blank slate for de-
sign," Schuneman says. "Treat it as your
fifth wall and find a beautiful rug to
ground the whole space."
Schuneman is a fan of FLOR carpet
tiles, which can be arranged to make what
appears to be a rug of any size. "I love
using FLOR tiles for rentals because they
can be put together in different configura-
tions when you move and can be personal-
ized, so only you have that certain pattern
that represents your style," he says.
Make swaps
Although you can't change the cabinets
in your rented kitchen or bath, Hoffs
points out that you can swap out the hard-
ware on doors and drawers at a very small
cost
"You can always change these back to
the original ones when you start to move,"
she says, as long as you remember where
you've stored the originals.
The same goes for light fixtures. A
change of lighting can add "instant drama"
to your home, Hoffs says, so consider
swapping out the current fixtures with
ones that reflect your taste. Just be sure to
store the landlord's fixtures carefully and
reinstall them properly before moving out.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Spruce up your


cubicle with style


Associated Press
Following the expert advice of several interior designers, this cubicle at a
Thornton, Colo., business was styled using a bold fabric pattern on the fac-
ing cubicle wall and black-and-white patterned contact paper on an upper
cabinet and various accessories. The cubicle is outfitted with items that ap-
peal to its inhabitant: framed photos and mementos of world travels, a few
items picked up at a flea market and the artwork of friends, and inexpensive
boxes to organize paperwork and provide graphic appeal.

Put your personal stamp on workspace


JENNIFER FORKER
Associated Press
We focus so much energy turning a
house into a home, we sometimes
forget to aim our decorating genius
in another notable direction: the of-
fice cubicle.
Home often expresses who we
are, filled as it is with accumulated
treasures and trinkets. But skip on
over to the office cubicle or, for
that matter, an office with actual
walls and it can be a different
story.
Some offices "are so dated. It's
wallpaper from the '70s, falling-apart
furniture and stacks of files gen-
erally, an overall mess," says Sayeh
Pezeshki, a designer who blogs about
decor at The Office Stylist
Considering how much time many
people spend at work, "Your work


space should be cheery and it
should be fun, and it should be per-
sonal to you," says Sabrina Soto, de-
signer host of HGTV's "The
High/Low Project."
A soothing environment cuts down
on work stress, designers believe.
"It really does affect the way that
you work and the way that you feel,"
says Pezeshki.
And she says, "You don't have to
spend a lot of money" doing it.
Bob Richter, an interior designer
and cast member of PBS' treasure-
hunting series "Market Warriors,"
visits flea markets wherever he trav-
els, returning home with one-of-a-
kind mementos.
"I feel like a cubicle or a small of-
fice should feel like a small apart-
ment," says Richter, who lives in a

small New York City apartment.
"Things have to be tidy, but there
also has to be an opportunity to
store things easily"
Richter suggests combing flea
markets for unusual boxes and
baskets for storing supplies on
an office desk. He uses old metal
coffee tins and vintage ceramic
planters for holding pens and
other supplies.
"There's a nostalgic vibe to
these items," Richter says.
Soto suggests using lacquered
boxes or stylish fiberboard
boxes, like those sold at The
Container Store.
Good lighting, an attractive
memo board, and at least one
living plant or cut flowers are

Richter suggests combing flea markets for
unusual boxes and baskets for storing
supplies on an office desk. He uses old
metal coffee tins and vintage ceramic
planters for holding pens and other supplies.


also essential for cultivating
good cubicle ambiance.
Bring a desk lamp from home
for task lighting; it'll cheer up the
space. Bring in low-water, low-
light plants at least one. Two
plants that are good at surviving
indoor light are pothos and
heartleaf philodendron. Peace
lilies also crave low light and are
excellent at cleaning indoor air
"Keep one on your desk," says
Richter. "It feels like there's life
there."


For the memo board, Richter
suggests framing a section of
cork, dry-erase board or good-
quality plywood painted with
chalkboard paint. Frame it in a
vintage frame it's a tenth the
price of a new frame, he says -
or float the memo board inside
the cubicle wall's frame.
Soto likes to paint her frames
in bright colors, as does Pezeshki,
who's all in for the bling. Her own
office not a cubicle is
painted black, purple and metal-


lic silver. Its silver accents in-
clude a gallery wall of ornate
frames and a large floor lamp.
"It's very glam, because I'm
very glam," says Pezeshki. "I like
shiny things and blingy things."
That's the important thing: to
decorate your cubicle according
to your own personality, the
three designers say If you like
sports, use memorabilia. If
you're a movie fan, go that route.
"For me, a place I want to be
is a place surrounded by the
things I love," says Richter. "I
think (the office cubicle) is an
area where you can let your per-
sonality do the talking."
More tips:
Keep it tasteful, says Richter,
and check with your human re-
sources manager before turning
a cubicle into a fully furnished
room. "There's a fine line be-
tween personalizing your desk


and going overboard," he says.
Ditch the sticky notes and
the hanging calendar, which add
clutter, Soto says. Lean a small
dry-erase board against one wall
and jot down notes there. Use an
electronic calendar.
Hang an attractive fabric
along the cubicle walls, attach-
ing it with decorative push-pins.
Hang framed artwork. "Anything
to make the cubicle walls look
like normal walls," Soto says.
Cover bookshelves and cabi-
nets with printed contact paper.
"It instantly pulls together the
look," Pezeshki says. Pick five or
six things currently sitting on
your desk and replace them -
pencil holder, frames, tape dis-
penser- with the look you want.
Add silver accents. And
paint whatever you can,
Pezeshki advises, including the
metal "in/out" box for papers.
